Akieen Cloud

[font="Comic Sans MS"][color="#000080"]Kaiel walked down the street, her head down cast, her blue bangs covering her eyes as she kept her hood up even though the sun was beating down on her back. Taking a deep breath she looked up and squinted her eyes against the sun as it was sinking down below the horizon, letting out the breath she stopped for a moment and stuffed her hands into the pockets of her shorts. She leaned on the fence behind her, not really willing to go back to her home, her foster brother always gripped at her about going out. Her black cloak, white shorts and vest, her blue hair...it all gave evidence of what she was, what she didn't want to be. Sighing she pushed her hands deeper into her pockets and pushed off the fence and made her way down he sidewalk towards the old church that was her home. She lived with a bunch of priests, ironic much? She tilted her head down again watching as her feet moved, her steps graceful and silent; she looked up as she saw the familiar crack in the side walk letting her know she was close to home. Opening the gate to the church she walked in and through the front door to instantly be confronted by bother her foster father and brother. "Kaiel, where have you been?" "Christopher, I went for a walk. I had to get out of this stuff old church. My nose couldn't take it." Her brother scoffed but moved aside as Zihon came forward and put a hand on her shoulder before pushing the hood covering her face back and smiled down at her. "You shouldn't have to hide your face Kaiel, your beautiful." She looked to the side and saw her reflection, her yellow eyes and pale skin off set by her blue hair. She was feminine and womanly, but as she smiled and saw her fangs she frowned. "I'm a monster old man." "You are a beautiful woman. Do not let anyone ever tell you other wise. Now, dinner will be ready soon, please go and wash your hands and get ready." "Yes sir." She pulled the hood back over her head covering her face again, she felt exposed with out it. Walking up stairs she opened the bathroom door and began to wash her hands, slipping her gloves off and folding her sleeves back so she didn't get them wet. She placed her hands under the cool water coming from the faucet and began to run them together before grabbing the soap and lathering her hands together. Once done she dried them and put her gloves back on and fixed her sleeves so they were covering her hands again. Making her way towards the dining room she stopped as one of the other priests that lived there passed her. "Good evening Kaiel." She inclined her head, and went to move past him when he suddenly took hold of her arm tightly. "Your mother wants you home." She felt her eyes go wide and yanked her arm from his grasp, looking up at him she saw his eyes glowing red, her mouth full of fangs and his body trembling. He took a step towards her causing her to back up into the wall behind her. "Kaiel...come home. You don't belong here with these filthy humans." She shook her head and ducked under his arm as he reached for her again and rushed through the hall. "Chris!" Her brother looked around the corner to see her running at him, her face paler than usual and her eyes wide. The speed she was running had pulled her hood away from her face, her hair flying behind her. He didn't need to wait very long to see why as the priest slid into the wall as he tried to turn the corner and chase her. Dust fell from the ceiling as he righted himself and smiled wickedly to the two of them. "Come now. Kaiel would be much happier back in hell with the rest of us." Kaiel shook her head and blinked as her brother stepped in front of her. "Go to father." "But-" "Now Kaiel!" She nodded and turned on her heel and began to run through the halls again til she found the kitchen; her breath caught in her throat at the sight. The walls were red and dripping blood from the other priests that were there, in the middle of the room stood Zihon, his head bowed. "Old man?" He looked up and let out a breath. "Kaiel thank the heavens your safe, come with me quickly. We have to get you out of here. She's sent your brother." "My...my brother?" "Cerberus." Kaiel blinked but followed him none the less, he took her to the library and to a book shelf she had seen him looking at more than once these past few weeks. "Old man?" "Just do as I say." She nodded again and watched as he took off the cross from around his neck and pressed it to the back of a large black book; dust rose from the book shelf as it moved and turned inward. "This way, hurry Kaiel." She followed him down a stairwell to a hidden basement that held nothing but a small case in the middle of the room. Something seemed to pulse from with in it and before she knew it a growl was bubbling from her throat. Zihon nodded solemnly. "So you feel it...I was afraid of this. The seal is breaking..." Kaiel looked at him and frowned. "Seal? Feel it? What are you talking about old man?" "In this case are two daggers, you must never unsheathe them from their holds. When you were born I had your demon powers sealed within these weapons. To open them would awaken your demon blood fully and I would no longer be able to protect you." She shivered slightly and walked towards the case, spinning as the book case was blasted away suddenly, a body landed heavily by their feet. "Chris!" Kaiel rushed forwards only to be grabbed by Zihon. "No my dear! You must not get close to your brother." "I don't care! He's all the family I have besides you. And you want to just leave him? Don't ever call your self our father again!" His hand went slack on her arm as she rushed forwards and pulled Chris to her and tried to pull him back, her skin began to tingle as goosebumps rose up across her arms and neck, looking back she saw Zihon's body begin to twitch. "N-no... Father..." Her eyes looked down to her brother as he feebly reached for Zihon who threw his head back and laughed, his eyes black, and his hands twisted into claws. "What a weak old man. All it took was you hurting him enough for me to take over, thank your my daughter. Now, shall we go home?" Kaiel shook her head and looked towards the case in the middle of the room, setting her brother down gently she stood and walked over to it, placing her hand on the top she felt it pulse and opened it slowly to find to long daggers that curved slightly hidden in beautiful sheaths of blood red and gold. She looked over her shoulder as Chris coughed. "No...don't" "I don't have a choice. If I don't we all die." Picking them up she held the hilt of them tightly and spun them quickly making the sheaths fly off, instantly she felt her skin burn, her body feeling as if it were on fire. Her body twitched and grew as white fur sprouted from her skin, her nails became dark claws and her hearing and smell grew sharper than ever. Looking up she caught sight of her self and gasped as a large white wolf stared back. "Yes my dear, that's it. That's the power you were born with. Now, come with me." She looked over at the man who raised her and shook her head. "I won't!" A twisted smile spread over his face than suddenly turned into one of pain as his body shook violently. "You stupid old man! Give up!" Kaiel blinked as Zihon fought, bringing out a thin dagger and plunging it into his stomach. "She is my daughter. And I will protect her." Kaiel felt tears spring to her eyes and reached for Zihon only to have her arm grabbed by Chris. "We have to go." "But..." "This place is coming down Kai. We have to go now." She nodded and found the sheaths for her blades and put them back on, her appearance reverting to what it was. "Hide those and follow me. I know where we can go to be safe." She nodded and did as he told her, hiding the daggers under her flowing cloak, pushing her self she followed him out into the street just as the church fell, crumbling in on it's self. "C-Chris..." "It'll be fine. Let's go. We have to get you to Cross Academy." "The boarding school?" "It's the safest place for you right now. Trust me." She nodded and ran behind him as he led her through the streets to a small pub, going through the door she saw it was empty, but she said nothing and watched as he opened the back door. She continued to follow him through and gasped as she saw a large building ahead of them. "This is Cross city. Here you'll be safe. We'll enroll you tomorrow. Til than, you need rest." She nodded and felt her eyes roll into he back of her head as her body gave out. Chris caught her and picked her up and began to walk towards the school on the other side of town. He could only hope that here, she would be safe from the demons of hell seeking her out. [/color] OCC: Alriight, this is pretty much what I need for your first post. Just go off of mine and as soon as everyone gets their first one up, we'll start classes.[/font]

[font="Comic Sans MS"][color="#000080"]These all look great you guys. I'll try to have this up this weekend so look for it. I'm leaving sign ups open since I'm hoping a few more people will join, still waiting on Tulas to sign up as well.

[font="Comic Sans MS"][color="#000080"]Yeah, I've also been hitting a block as well. Between trying to find a job, a place of my own and finalizing my divorce it's just been hectic for me to find any time what so ever to get an actual post up. But I should have a little bit of time today to hopefully get something up. >.< Here's hoping. [/color][/font]

[font="Comic Sans MS"][color="#000080"]Good to see you back my friend. I'll sign up for this as soon as I get the chance. ^^ [/color][/font]

[font="Comic Sans MS"][color="#000080"]I'm a blue cheese person. Majorly blue cheese. I dunno why the little crumbles of white, smelly cheese with the blue veins of mold running through it makes my mouth water but it just does. lol. I know, no one has to tell me... I'm weird. I hear it all the time. >.< [/color][/font]

I just got done watching Brotherhood for the 8th time. lol. That and I found an new anime today called Blue Exorcist.

[font="Comic Sans MS"][color="#000080"]My step father would commend you, he always said that squirrels and rabbits were trying to take over the world. lol. So yeah, he always ran one over if he ever got the chance and if he saw one on the side of the road that he hadn't hit, he'd be mad that someone else got it instead of him. xD [/color][/font]

[font="Comic Sans MS"][color="#000080"]I'm still in, I've had a few things come up so at the moment I'm busting my rear trying to find a job and an apartment. But I'll hopefully get one up today or tonight. My friend had to work so no job hunting for today. I'm off the hook today so meh, hopefully I'll get one up. lol.[/color][/font]

[color="#000080"][font="Comic Sans MS"]All my life, things have happened that make no sense, I've lived through car crashes and falls that should have killed me, I've been stabbed, burned and even thrown off a roof...and I'm still here. I always just thought I was lucky, it had always been that way for me, to have extreme good luck. But than...a few years ago, things started to turn weird...my sight and hearing grew in strength, my sense of smell became better than the K9 unit of the local police force and worse than all of that...I became vicious. My rage and anger flared at the smallest things, my hair and nails grew at an impossible rate; my hunger was never fully sated. I was visited one after noon by an older man by the name of Zihon, he was a priest...an exorcist. As soon as he touched me something happened, my brother told me that my eyes turned yellow, I grew fangs and claws, he told me my ears grew pointed and I threw the old man off laughing. I don't remember any of this but I remember coming out of a dark place with the old man's blood on my hands... Ever since than I saw things...horrible things. Little monsters that stole things for laughs, small black, bug like things that floated around in the air, large shadows that engulfed a person...demons. Years went by like this before I was targeted. Chased down like an animal, told that my mother wants me to return home and be by her side. None of it made sense to me. Not until my foster brother showed up, dressed in black robes with a cross around his neck. He was an exorcist, watching him fight off the demons I was transfixed. Once it was over he took me home, sat down across from me and explained.... My name is Kaiel, I am the human child of a demon. The Wolf Mother, Akieen, there are others like me all around the world and each one of them has been visited by a priest like I have. Each one of us can see our own kind and each of us has something in common, we're emerging and our parents are searching for us. To protect us, the exorcists in our lives, be they our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters...they are sending us all to one place where we can all be trained on how to fight our birth parents and save this world we call home. Cross Academy. Welcome to Cross Academy, here you will learn to fight demons and exorcise lessers who try to posses humans, we are few and we are just a small collective, but we are clever and we are strong in our fight. Lately we've been welcoming the bastard children of the demons of hell. There are so many with so many different powers or talents. Classes start soon and the children we train will be moving on to take down Satan and freeing this world of his ruthless interference. Name: Age: Appearance: (you can have certain features of a demon, pointed ears, and teeth, odd colored eyes.) Demon Appearance: (we'll be given weapons by our exorcists that have our true powers sealed inside, once we're given these weapons and use them our true appearance will be shown) Personality: Weapon: Power: (Try to go easy on this. Keep in mind we just found out about our parents) Demonic Parent: Name: Kiael Hiroshima Age: 24 Appearance: [img]http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k249/MangaAndAnime/Anime/Dark.jpg[/img] Her ears are slightly pointed, and her eyes are yellow; she has elongated canines and her nails are longer than normal as well looking more like claws. Demon Appearance: [img]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_L-c5JixfV9w/TK2zl-yfCdI/AAAAAAAAAAY/7N-kCNc6p7g/s1600/f66f2863ea97b9966905dda73a9d0909.jpg[/img] Personality: Happy and friendly she enjoys having fun and seems to have a childish disposition, sometimes hyper and loud. She tried to make friends with everyone she meets and usually avoids conflict. She does have another side to her though that is drawn in and quiet. Even though she tries to avoid conflict she does speak her mind and if she has to fight to defend her words she'll do so with out hesitation. Weapon: She uses short swords that can also be taken as daggers that curve along her forearm to her elbow. Power: Her demon blood has given her a boost in strength and speed, her canine blood has also given her heightened senses such as sight and smell. Demonic Parent: Akeein, the Wolf Mother, also known as the Hound of hell or guardian of Hell's Gate. [/font][/color]

[font="Comic Sans MS"][color="#000080"]I'll try to get a post in soon as well, just been pretty busy with things. Also on a side note, good to see you got your account in order Dritz. ^^[/color][/font]

[color="#000080"][font="Comic Sans MS"]Ri lay on her bed, her head pounding, and she jumped as there was a knock on her door. "Who the hell is it and what do you want?" "McKnight, get your gear, your up." She grumbled and buried her face in her pillow. "Go away..." "No can do Sharp, lets go." Releasing a string of curses she rolled from her bed and grabbed her suit and lighter from the dresser she walked over to her door and flung it open glaring at the man infront of her. "Fine, lets get this over with." "You have everything?" She nodded and followed him through the halls towards the training room, once there she ducked into another room to change into the formfitting suit and stepped back out in to the room to see him waiting for her, he walked over and took the inhibitor from her forehead and tossed it aside giving her a knowing smile. "Now, before we begin, show me what you can do." She took a deep breath, flipped open her lighter and sparked it to life, snapping her fingers the flame jumped from the wick to her hand instantly and she felt the familiar warmth of the flame spread through her like a drug, she loved that feeling. The flame was small and it flickered happily in her palm as she watched it dance in the air. "Make it bigger." "What?" "You heard me, show me how large you can make the flame." "I'd rather not, I don't know how far I can control it...I've never tried." "You in a controlled facility. Do it." She nodded and looked at the flame in her hand willing it to grow in size, it did with out much give, almost reaching 3 feet high in no time before she felt the warmth begin to spread from her arm throughout her entire body, holding out her other hand the flame seemed to manifest with out her even asking. Gasping she took a step back and looked from one hand to the other. "I just...the flame..." "You made your own fire." "I didn't think I was capable of that." "You are, apparently. Keep going." She looked up at him uncertain but nodded slowly none the less, now curious her self to see what she could do. Closing her eyes she took a deep breath and let the warmth spread til her entire body felt as if it were engulfed in a warm glowing fire, it felt natural to her and she sighed contentedly til she felt the spray of cold water, yelping in surprise she opened her eyes and held out her left palm to block the water jet aimed at her, steam filled the room instantly and she frowned putting more power behind it as it grew in strength. Her body getting hotter by the second as she did, the flam in her right palm growing in size til it nearly reached the ceiling, her skin beginning to glow slightly. "Alright, enough!." She tried calling the flames back, but blinked as they refused to listen. "Sharp, I said enough!" "I can't!" She cursed as the flames only grew hotter and higher, her skin over heating and beginning to steam now as it glowed a soft red. "Hose her down!" Ri felt her body cool instantly as the pipes around her spit out a thick foam, covering her from head to toe in the thick mess, sputtering and coughing she wiped it from her eyes and looked at McKnight. "You have a higher grade of control than you think, who knows, your control might go beyond fire to it's other elements. More training is going to be needed, but from what I can see right now, you might be the strongest link we have to taking down Hydro Girl. Keep that in mind Sharp. Training starts for real soon, so be ready." She nodded and trudged from the room, the door sliding open than sliding shut, she wiped her face again, more than ready for a shower when she heard chuckling from down the hall a little ways, Carter leaning on the wall and shaking his head. "You look like you had fun." "Shove it Carter." He held up his hands and watched her go as she trudged down the hall to her room, opening her door she closed it and headed for the shower stripping as she did, once in the bathroom she turned on the water, stepped under and sighed as the mess was rinsed from her skin. Washing her body and hair she stepped back out and dried quickly before getting dressed in a pair of shorts and a red top, flopping onto her bed she folded her arms under her chin and looked at the clock on her desk. What she wouldn't give to be back home...working in the kitchen and smoking a cigarette right now...[/font][/color]

[font="Comic Sans MS"][color="#000080"]Hey guys, I'm hoping to get a post up soon, just moved and getting settled in, kinda lost on what I'm supposed to be doing so if I can get a hint or what not I'd really appreciate it. Sorry for all the problems and what not...just hectic for me right now. [/color][/font]

[font="Comic Sans MS"][color="#000080"]Ri blinked several times as she tried to clear her vision of the bright spots still clouding her eye sight, she directed her eyes towards Hood and stood shakily frowning as she felt a hand on her shoulder. "Ms. Sharp, you shouldn't be moving, your eye sight hasn't fully healed." "Go chase a car." She shoved passed the stunned medical staff and made her way over to Hood, pushing the staff out of the way she felt around til her knees hit the bed. "God dammit." She grit her teeth and felt around for him more, frowning as he grabbed her hand and clutched it tight. "Hood, Hood! It's alright. Your safe now. It's alright" She felt his hand squeeze her's more tightly and cringed slightly, he was stronger than he looked, sitting down on the edge of his bed she reached forward and began to brush her fingers through his bangs, the situation reminding her so many times of the younger kids in the orphanage who had nightmares; she did this to calm them down. She jumped as his hand released her's and latched onto her wrist. "I kill...I killed him!" She felt around for his shoulders and pulled him into a gentle hug, not bothering his injuries. "Shh, you did what you had to Aimanan, it's not your fault." She listened as he repeated himself over and over, shaking her head she continued to hold him til his ramblings slowed. "It's alright Aimanan, it's alright." She sighed as he barely calmed down, frowning and yanking her arm from someones grasp as they pulled her away from him and back towards her own bed, she sighed as she realized they had taken her lighter from her again and growled as her hand twitched, begging to scratch the inhibitors on her head. "Look, I'm fine, take care of everyone else." "You nearly went blind Ms. Sharp." "Yeah? Well, it doesn't effect Derek, why should I be any different. No offense Flare." He gave her a feeble wave from his own bed. "None taken." She closed her eyes, cursing silently as she still saw spots as she crossed her arms over her chest. "How long do I have to be here? I hate hospitals." "Your not in a hospital." "Might as well be. It smells like sterilized walls and linens. I hate it." She grunted as she was pushed back onto the bed, sitting and putting her hands on her knees as the doctor took a small flash light and shined it into her eyes, she swatted him away with a scowl. "What the hell, I'm already blind for the time being. Jesus Christ." "I was checking the dilation of your eyes, they are going to take a few hours, stay here and get some rest." "Yeah, okay. Like that'll be easy to do." She listened to his thick accent as he spoke flinching and yelping as something stuck into her upper arm. "You will be resting, that is a mild sedative, just to relax you." "Hey, **** you. I don't need....to...relax." She felt her body get heavy and a yawn escape her as she slumped to the side landing softly on the bed with a light snore, Carter snorting. "Mild my ass, you just knocked her the **** out!" The doctor nodded slightly. "Her eyes need time to heal, a few hours of sleep should do the trick no problem. Now, whose next?"[/color][/font]

[font="Comic Sans MS"][color="#000080"]Yeah, there is a new one in the works, we'll be using all new characters in this one since its gonna be pretty different. But it won't be for at least a month or so down the road since I'll be in boot camp. But certainly keep an eye out for it, and once I get out and get settled I'll be sure to throw a PM your guys way so you all have a heads up. ^^[/color][/font]

[font="Comic Sans MS"][color="#000080"]Yeah there will be an audition for the next one, it's gonna be on another level than the last two have been, so we'll need new players. One Mage, Dassem and I have a story line mapped out and game plan in the works one of the 3 of us will get the sign ups going for it. We've already got a somewhat decent idea of where we're going with it, we just have to iron out a few kinks and what not. But like I said, once we do we'll let you guys know for sure. If you guys have any questions while I'm in basic, feel free to ask my cohorts, they should be able to answer. And Inu, it would be easier to narrow it down, easier for us to keep a track on it if we have a lot of people in the group. lol. To many powers from one person makes it hard to keep track on it. lol. [/color][/font]

[font="Comic Sans MS"][color="#000080"]Hey Inu, I really hate to do this to you, but Mage, Dassem and I are already working on the end of this, but we do have another in the works for when I'm out of bootcamp, if you want to hold off on this until than we'd make sure to save you a seat, but on one condition brother, you gotta narrow your power down to one. lol. Again, I really hate to do this, cause I've missed you and it's good to see you back, but like I said, we're already planning the end of this one and leading into a new one that we'll have up in a few months if you wouldn't mind waiting for that one we'll keep you posted. I promise. [/color][/font]
