Talon Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 [center][color=teal][u][b][i][size=4]Dr. Frankenstein's Academy for the Unusually Gifted[/center][/color][/u][/b][/i][/size] [center][color=red]"Unusually Gifted". A euphimism. An understatement, a gross mistake, call it what you will. Many cultures across the globe have any number of names for Frankenstein's Academy. The Monster School, The Freak Show, Vampire Valley. The fact remains, however, that the academy is there, on the outskirts of Monolith City, somewhere in the mountains of the province of Wallachia... Surprisingly, the school is almost universally called these names [u]affectionately[/u] by the student population and their parents. Unsurprisingly, the school's curriculum is exceptional, and its reputation is well-earned. Home to many young werecreatures, vampires, zombies, banshees, and such, the school is incredibly diversified and thus competition runs high amidst the many factions and shapes the student population encompasses within the academy's walls. What's more, the academy promotes the competition's intensity, endorsing such events as sports meets, contests, and yes, even fights. Indeed, many in the academy are known by their Battletags rather than their born or family names... [i]However, the winds of change begin to blow as one person, only a single new student, arrives in Monolith City to attend the Dr. Frankenstein's Academy for the Unusually Gifted. A student who, unbeknownst to himself, will shatter traditions that have stood for centuries, and a new order will rule a school whose Headmaster is but a figurehead....[/i][/center][/color] [center]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/center] [color=darkslategray]You are students at Dr. Frankenstein's Academy for Unusually Gifted Students. At this school, the headmaster is but a figurehead. He is a genius, the latest in a line of many headmasters. The true ruling body of the school is the School Executive Board, a collection of students in charge of a student government headed by Damien Ahriman, by far the strongest student in the school, a Darkwing of immense physical capabilities and unmatched strategic capacity. You, the students in this academy, engender many different types. Ghosts, werebeasts, vampires, and such, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, spend their days and nights within the walls of the great citadel. There are no limits to what you can be: a werecat, a vampire, a puddle of ooze that can take on a human shape, or even a cloud of vapor in the shape of a wolf. You can be part of any faction, be it a racial faction, a pro-exec board faction, or an anti-authority faction. You can be a rebel, a lone wolf, or even, should you so choose, a student teacher. Welcome to the Academy. Let's have some fun![/color] [center]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/center] [color=teal][i]The faces of the Lunarian race, as the race of "monsters" is called, are many in form, and none are without their own strengths and weaknesses. Detailed below are several of the forms the Lunarians race includes...[/i] [b]Vampires:[/b] Vampirism is not a curse or a disease as commonly thought. It is a genetic anomaly transferred randomly from a vampire to its offspring. A Homid family can have "normal children" for ten generations, and suddenly the next child would be born a vampire simply because the great grandfather ten times over was a vampire. Vampires are physically stronger than Homids (humans), can Metamorph into a wolf form, a mist frm, or a bat form. Few can metamorph into two of them, and only a single Master Vampire has ever been known to be able to shift into all three forms. They have enhanced senses, as well. Vampires also possess a powerful psychic enhancement, and a magnetic attraction over weaker, though the term is used loosely, forms, including most Homids and some other Lunarians, making vampires excellent leaders. Vampires' weaknesses include holy water, blessed bread, and white oak. Vampires are not necessarily affected by sunlight, garlic, or crosses, though some have been known to show weakness in the presence of said catalysts. [b]Living Dead:[/b] This is the term given those whose flesh has risen from the grave. They include zombies, rots, mummies, and even flesh golems. They are incredibly diverse, though they do share several traits in common. For instance, they are all incredibly strong, as strong as a Weretiger, despite their suspended state of decay their bodies appear to be in. The Living Dead are incredibly resistant to blunt trauma, though blades and fire seem to do more damage to them than should be possible. The Living Dead are adept at magic and hand-to-hand fighting, though their reflexes are slow. Contrary to popular belief, the Living Dead have souls, personalities, and are incredibly intelligent, though they are often need of a heavy body deodorant. They are resistant to magic and metabolics, as they no longer have an immune or nervous system to be affected. [b]Werecreatures:[/b] Werecats, werewolves, and other such creatures exist in great numbers in the world, hidden by their animal form in the African Savannah, the Alaskan Wastes, or the forests on the slopes of the Himalayahs. They're strengths vary according to clan, based upon the animal whose shape the Werecreature mimics. All werecreatures share, however, a weakness in the form of increased aggression, heightened sex drive, and the inability to change out of their Homid or Animal form during the New Moon. Lycans tend to prefer their Hybrid form to any other, as their strength is not limited in it as it is in their Homid form. Lycanthropes' powers include Metamorphosis, resistance to metabolics and enchantments, and hyper-enhanced cellular regeneration. Weaknesses vary from clan to clan, though almost all lycans are fatally allergic to silver, which shuts down their regenerative faculties to Homid levels and "chars" their spirit, resulting in an almost universally fatal depression. Only two lycanthropes have ever been known to pull out of this depression, and none have ever been seen to resist the taint.[/color] [center]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/center] [color=crimson][center][b][i][u]Notable Personages[/i][/u][/b] [b]Dr. Victor Frankentein:[/b] Headmaster of the Academy and descendant of the original founder, Ludwig Frankenstein,Victor is a capable genius. He has perfected a way of resurrecting dead flesh, but without a personality, the Flesh Golems that patrol the halls of the great citadel. Angered and distraught over the traditional Executive Board's downward slide into depths he does not want his academy to suffer, he has called for outside help. Rumor has it that the genius' first creation, a failed flesh golem, lies imprisoned beneath the citadel floors... [b]Johnathan "Hunter" Dinesti:[/b] A half-breed descended from the Dinesti clan of Werecheetahs, this strange youth has enrolled in the academy at the request of his father, the Alpha of the clan. His refusal to show his Hybrid form, his insistance upon smoking, and the strange cross-shaped tatoo on the inside of his wrist all add to his mystique. The winds of change blow around this young man, though he himself knows it not. His eyes and heart seem set on a particular young woman, though her own eyes are set far from Johnathan. Or are they...? [b]Damien "IronClaw" Ahriman:[/b] The President of the Executive Board, nothing happens in his school without his knowing it. The strongest, by far, in the academy, Damien enjoys the pleasures of living an unthreatened highlife. Until Johnathan Dinesti shows up. The new kid represents an X-factor in Damien's plans for th school, and he must be eliminated...[/center][/color] [center]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/center] [color=DarkSlateGray][b]Welcome to Dr. Frankenstein's Academy for the Unusually Gifted. If you are a new student, welcome! If you are a returning student, welcome back! To expediate your entry into the class environment, and to provide you with the best possible comforts, the academy requires you to fill out a few forms. Please answer the questions as completely as possible. Spelling and punctuation count.[/b] [b]Name:[/b] Your name here, please. [b]BattleTag:[/b] Please include your clan warrior name, or your contest callsign, if you have earned one. [b]Age:[/b] Your exact age, and your apparent age, if you so wish. [b]Subtype;[/b] Which form of Lunarian are you? Werewolf, vampire, demonkin? [b]Strengths:[/b] Please include your racial strengths. Ghosts, spectres, and other incorporeals would kindly take note that their lack of physical skills may be remedied through magical means, though it is stressed that they keep their arcana-casting abilities in the forefront. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] This is necessary to make your stay at the academy as safe as possible. Please keep ths in mind. [b]Powers:[/b] If you have any special powers of note, please record them here. [b]Personality:[/b] Please include a brief self-analysis of your attitude. This is imperative for dormitory and class placement. [b]Description:[/b] Please include a brief physical description of yourself, or attach a picture to this document, if applicable. [b]History:[/b] Please include a brief history of yourself up to point of enrollment or reenrollment.[/color] [center]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/center] [color=crimson]"The hell...? This is what the form looks like...? Ooo...kay...." Johnathan Dinesti stared at the forms in his hand, his pencil hovering slightly over them. He shrugged, let out a brief sigh, and looked to the ceiling before placing his pencil to the paper. "I swear, Pop, if you did this just ta keep me from askin' about Mom, I'm gonna kick your ***...." He began, slowly, to write....[/color] [center]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/center] [color=crimson][b]Name:[/b] Johnathan Dinesti [b]BattleTag:[/b] Hunter [b]Age:[/b] 18 [b]Subtype:[/b] Werecheetah (half-breed) [b]Strengths:[/b] Prodigious strength, speed, regeneration, and hyper-enhanced agility, reflexes, and dexterity. Can resist silver taint. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] Weakness for tuna, claws in hybrid form are brittle if zebra is not consumed regularly. Silver has some effect, but not much. Seems to suffer from an internal war that affects his strength and other powers, keeping them far below maximum most of the time. Gold seems to have an extreme adverse effect upon hunter, though why is unknown. [b]Powers:[/b] Occasionally, in extreme moods, the thorn-wound cross on his inside right wrist seems to glow, but nothing other than that is known. Also has a curious ability to manipulate "ki", or the physical energies that make up his aura. [b]Personality:[/b] Calm, but rebellious, Hunter is aggressive when it comes to family matters. He is strict, especially on himself, and gives respect only when it is earned. He despises unfair power, and limits himself in fights. He recognizes that there are those stronger than him, but believes that he will eventually "knock 'em down a peg or five". [b]Description:[/b] [URL=http://we-love-anime.com/Gallery/Anime_Images/index.php?spgmGal=Soul%20Hunter,%20Sen%20kaiden%20Houshin%20Engi&spgmPic=22&spgmFilters=#pic]Johnathan in Homid Form[/URL]. Johnathan's hybrid form is rather like a very tall Homid with fur, catlike features, and a tail. His scars, hair, and cross are carried over into Hybrid form, but not Cheetah form. [b]History:[/b] Born to the Dinesti clan from a union between the clan Alpha and a human of some notable, but unknown, birth, Hunter was raised to fight as best he could by his father. His lack of ability in magic was more than made up for by his intense physical skills, and his attunement to his body's latent energies. The cause of his ineptitude at magic is unknown, but it is assumed to have something to do with his mother. Hunter does not know his mother, and often wonders what she was like. As a result, he is torn up inside, both physically and emotionally, as his body attempts to reject his training every single day. This prevents Hunter from attaining his maximum power, though his powers are indeed great. He enrolled in the academy as a favor to his father, who was contacted by Victor Frankenstein mysteriously one morning. Having nothing better to do, Hunter went to school.[/color] [center]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/center] Well, that's about it.

Ezekiel Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 [SIZE=1][B]Name:[/B] Christian von Duscher [B]Battle Tag: [/B] Crucifix [B]Age:[/B] 300 (Appears 19) [B]Subtype:[/B] Vampire [B]Strengths:[/B] Telepathy, enhanced hypnosis (ability to control minds and the ilk), ability to morph into mist, night vision, not affected by crosses or garlic. [B]Weaknesses:[/B] Can't stay in direct sunlight for too long, holy water, finds it hard to resist biting if one is bleeding in front of him. [B]Powers:[/B] Can morph into mist, can control a person's mind and body for a certain amount of time, when pushed to far will go into a frenzy and slaughter anything (whether this be classed as a strength or weakness is debateable). [B]Personality:[/B] Christian is a patient man and not one to snap easily. He can take a fair amount of insults, and considering he likes to go out by himself a lot, receives plenty by the general public. He is a loner and knows it, but prefers it stay that way. He will smile and advise if someone comes to him, but prefers to keep his relationships professional. He isn't an unfriendly person and will help where it's needed, but he certainly prefers his own space. He's the kind of person whose humour comes from little comments and observations, rather than loud and humorous jokes. [B]Description:[/B] [URL=http://hyung-taekim.org/displayimage.php?album=21&pos=28]Christian[/URL] His skin is, obviously, not grey. It's very pale and his lips have just a hint of pink. His eyes are a very soft red. [B]History:[/B] Christian, seeing as he has lived a few hundred years, has multiple histories that have helped to mould him. His most prominent memories are ones from when he was a rogue vampire, one who thrived on terrorizing humans. Seeing as he isn't weak against the holy cross, he once took great pleasure in slaughtering priests in the most horrific way possible. Those murders earned him the name 'Crucifix', but the memories only serve to haunt his dreams. Christian is a changed vampire, who tries in everyway to blend in with normal people. He regrets his past and prefers not to talk about it, worried that the memories may bring some more innate vampire urges he's tried to bury over the years. He can't really remember his family, as he was a rare occurrence in the bloodline. Both his parents were humans and therefore died before Christian even felt he was an adult. He does, however, have a grandfather. Finding him is what's proving to be difficult.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Vectis Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 [COLOR=DarkGreen][SIZE=1][B]Name:[/B] Kain Nimcaznim [B]Battle Tag:[/B] Phantom [B]Age:[/B] 60 Appears 20 [B]Subtype:[/B] Vampire [B]Strengths:[/B] Kain?s abilities are his above average strength, his ability to turn to mist, (which is why he is called Phantom.) He is trying to get a second ability but it proves to be far more difficult then he thinks. Has enhanced sense, and his psychic enhancement which allows him to manipulate beings with weak minds. [B]Weaknesses:[/B] Kain is weak against holy water which can either burn him or keep him from advancing if place right. Blessed bread can keep him weak if touched, can kill him if eaten. White oak can paralyze him if it is placed right on his body. Can have moments of false invincibility because of mist power and charge head strong into a fight or argument. [B]Powers:[/B] Can put fear into someone?s heart, requires most of his concentration and his psychic enhancement to do so. It is weak compared to his other abilities so someone can break from if they try hard enough. [B]Personality:[/B] Kain is cold, calm, calculating and can be sadistic if he is pushed to his limits and is a little bit insane. He enjoys toying with people before he does anything to them. He has a thirst for power and greater strength which sometimes blinds him along with his arrogance. [B]Description:[/B] [url=http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b18/Sagethefiend/alucard.gif] Kain, normal attire. [/URL] He likes to keep a cross in between his teeth to show he is not weak to its power. [B]History:[/B]Reenrollment: In the 1930's Kain was the first vampire in his family for several generations. His great- great grandfather was a vampire; the gene has skipped thirteen generations before Kain was born. When his parents found he was a vampire, they knew this would reflect badly on the family. (They were one of those families were image was more important then family.) So they hid Kain away from the rest of the world, letting him live but left him in solitude. Kain developed his own character traits but having very little to no sense of right and wrong. This lead to some serious problems with Kain, his solitary confinement also drove him to a certain level of insanity. So this made him do odd things, like scrapping across the wall with his nails. Hissing and snarling and any who came near, and discovering his powers as a vampire. He discovered his unique senses, able to hear anything going on outside of his prison. He could smell when someone coming near or see them through his hole in his door even when it was dark. He found his mist ability later on, it allowed him to leave his prison without his parents knowing. His parents soon found out his new strengths and though it best if they found a place where he could live, instead of their home made jail. They found Dr. Frankenstein?s Academy for the unusually gifted. They sent Kain off right a way to get him away from their ?perfect? life.[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raze_3103 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 [B]Name[/B]: Josh Ichimaru [B]BattleTag[/B]: Slade [B]Age[/B]: 18 [B]Subtype[/B]: Dragoon. Weredragon, fullblood. [B]Strengths[/B]: While in homid form, he has enhanced strength, sight, hearing, and smell. He is also a little faster, which he uses alot. While in his dragon form, he has a major power increase, speed, sight, hearing, smell, and he even gets the power over an element. He is able to control the effects of gravity and earth, and he has alot of fun doing it. [B]Weaknesses[/B]: Some of his weaknesses include, rare metals, rare stones, and winds. He hates winds the most. Mainly due to the fact that they can ware rocks and the earth down. Also, he cannot become his dragon at any time. In many places, he does not have the room. Because his dragon form is so large, most of the time, he has to stay in human form. Especially in the school. This makes him very easy prey for a target if he is in a small area. [B]Powers[/B]: His special power over the gravity in a certian area, and his ability to control the earth in itself. He can only control earth while in his dragon form, but he can control gravity in either state. He does have more control over it while in dragon form though. When fighting in homid form, he mainly uses his power over gravity to slow his target down slow enough to nearly paralize them. He either does that, or makes himslef extreamly light and agile so he can manuver quickly. [B]Personality[/B]: He is gently, smart. He is not the one your would see hurting other people, even if they threatened to kill him. He would be willing to sacrafice himself before seeing anyone he knows go before him. His dragon form is completely opposite. It is always angered. It will not destroy everything, but if you tick it off, which does not take much, then it will go all out to kill you. This is the reason he is attending the school, to learn how to fully control his dragon form. He doesn't care how he does it, as long as he can learn to control it. [B]Description[/B]: Both is dragon form and his homid form are below. [B]History[/B]: [I]Enrollment for the first time[/I]. He was born and raised in a family of loyal, noble dragoons. Everyone in his family, all the way back before anything was recorded on the matter, have been dragoons. Aslo, nearly all the dragoons in his family have faught for some sort of royalty. That is the purpose for their family, to fight along side warriors to protect their king. And soon, it shall be Josh's turn to find a royal family to protect. He only has one problem, he cannot control his dragon form yet. At birth, a dragoon's dragon form is unstable and unpredictable. No one is sure about what it will do, or when it will do it. This has caused multiple problems for the Ichimaru family. There has been one way in which the family has learned how to control it. Through intense training and control lessons. The best way they found out about this was by attending the school. They found out that the school offered the best teachers for this task, and at some points, there has been other dragoons teaching at the school to help the ones that have yet to control their dragon form. Because of the school, everyone in the Ichimaru family has attended the school when they turned eighteen. And because Josh has just turned the right age, it is now time for him to attend the school and prove that he, too, can learn to control his dragon form. EDIT: There ya go, let me know what you think. I added and changed some things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cancer Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 [B]Name.[/B] Silvio Cernuto [B]Battletag.[/B] Vito [B]Age.[/B] 25 [B]Gender.[/B] Male [B]Subtype.[/B] Half-Demon [B]Strengths.[/B] Silvio's strengths include his remarkable speed, his immunity to the flame element, and his great physical strength. Silvio is also an amazing melee fighter, for he was born under the sign of the sword. His sight is also three times as strong as a normal human's. [B]Weaknesses.[/B] Silvio's weaknesses include holy water, holy symbols, the blood of a virgin maiden, and the name of Christ spoken by a priest. Silvio is also relatively weak to the water element. [B]Powers.[/B] Silvio has the power of flight, and the ability to teleport through the fire medium. He also has the ability to cast a disguise field around himself when he so desires. [B]Personality.[/B] Silvio has always been a loner, not wanting to socialize with people unless he must. He is not antisocial to the extreme however; he is actually polite and kind to everyone that he does talk to. If you can get him to open up to you, you'll see that Silvio is a gentle, caring soul. [B]Description.[/B] Silvio is a fair-complected young man with long, wavy black hair that he usually ties back in a pony-tail. He is tall and slim with a medium build. He regularly wears big black pants and a black tank top with a white short-sleeved dress shirt over it. On his feet he wears tall black boots. He constantly wears an onyx bracelet and a celtic cross choker, which is the only thing he has to remember his parents by. On Silvio's right hand is a tattoo showing his true identity. [B]History.[/B] Silvio was abandoned by his parents when he was only two in the dark forest of the mountains. He was raised by a couple of hunters that found him, and he lived happily with them until the age of ten. When he was ten, Silvio erupted into flames and burnt down the house, killing the hunters and all of their pets. The reason for his eruption Silvio does not know, but believes it was because he was having a bad dream. Silvio was then forced to survive on his own, using his new-found powers recklessly to steal food and money. He became a feared burglar in the streets of Palermo, Italy. Then one day, when Silvio was 24 years old, he saw a rich man boarding a ship with gold and diamonds bulging out of his pockets. Silvio could not resist the urge to steal this, so he followed the man onto the ship. He was successful in stealing the treasure, but not in getting off the ship. There was water all around them by the time Silvio realized what he'd done, and so he had to stay on the ship in hiding until it reached land again. Then Silvio got off the ship, lost and tired, and that is when he found the Monster Academy. Silvio had always wanted a place where he could belong, and now he'd finally found it.

Starwind Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Name: Laria Tonken Battle Tag: Chrono Age: 100, appears to be in his ealrly 20's Subtype: Lycanthrope, Werebat. Strengths: Heightend hearing and sonar, like a true bat. He has increased strength and is able to gently cling to even the smoothest walls, making him very stealthy when he chooses to be. His sonar gives him a 360 degree range of vision, so to speak. Weaknesses: Aside to those of his kind, the lycanthrope, he has an adversion to sunlight. His sensitive ears make him vunerable to loud noises. Also like a bat, he has very poor natural eyesight, but his sonar compensates for this. Powers: Like a true bat, he is able to fly and move with great stealth and his eyesight, though still poor, is more adapt to see in darkness. He can transform between his homid form and his bat form, but prefers the hybrid like most of his kind. Personality: He is a social person, but is surprisingly picky about those he spends time with. He has a small circle of friends that include both Vampires and other Lycanthropes. He has a very calm exterior, but his actions often seem a little extreme and out of place on his cool visage. He is not easily angerd, nor is he easily puched to great excitement. He always seems about neutral. The only way to really know how he feels at anyone given moment would be to ask him. He is a very open person and is willing to talk to anyone, but once he's decided he doesn't like a person, he goes to great lengths to simply avoid them. Description: [IMG]http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/GeneOutlaw/Chrno20Crusade01057.jpg[/IMG] Hybrid form. [IMG]http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/GeneOutlaw/Soultakerfig.jpg[/IMG] Full beast form [IMG]http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/GeneOutlaw/0930_scryed.jpg[/IMG] Full Homid form, this is his typical attire. History: He was born in the south of Asia near bangladesh. He is more used to warmer climates and travels to his clan from the school as often as he can. He was the first werebat born to his family in almost twelve generations, so his parents had no idea how to care for him. His siblings feared him for most of there childhood, but came to except him in later years. He is the youngest of six children, and though he does care for his family he spends most of his time with the Bat clan, his "people". He often avoided others outside his family or the clan in fear of persecution. He came to the school three years ago and has adapted well to the life at the school. He's a pacifist by nature, but has been known to get his hands dirty when need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a lot easier. I'm a little shy but I try not to be. I'm usually afraid of what people will think of me. However, at this school I should be a bit more comfortable so I guess I'll be exploring my personality as I stay here. I'm generally a nice and helpful person though. I'm not an evil spirit if you're worried about that.[/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=2] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=2][b]Description:[/b] I thought I had a picture around here somewhere.

I'd rather not talk about that...I mean, I don't want it written down here where everyone can look at this and read it. Before I came here, I've been searching the world and taking advantage of my ghostly body. I went to places that I had never even dreamed I would see. It was wondeful. I ran into some other ghosts on one of my journeys and they told me about this place. So, here I am. Is this long enough, I hope it is.[/size][/font][/color] [font=Book Antiqua][size=2] [/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=2] [/size][/font] [color=purple][b][i][font=Book Antiqua][size=2]Wynn V.

Neko Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 [COLOR=Gray][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]This could be interesting. There seem to be an abundance of vampires in this story already, but hopefully one more won't hurt. I also would like to apply for a job at the academy as a teacher, if that's okay, Talon...wouldn't wanna overstep my authority on making a sign-up. Here goes! [B]Name:[/B] Alucard (Named as a joke by his parents. It's 'Dracula', spelled backwards, after the most powerful legendary vampire of all time. Doesn't wish to reveal his last name, as he is ashamed of his family name.) [B]BattleTag:[/B] Zamiel (after the Demon God in a German play.) [B]Age:[/B] 502 (appears about in his late teens or early twenties.) [B]Subtype:[/B] Vampire. [B]Strengths:[/B] Can turn into mist (has once turned into a large group of bats when he was sleeping, apparently during a nightmare. The actual cause is unknown, and Alucard has tried many times without success to repeat the feat), Unusually high aptitude for using various psychic-related abilities (including, but not limited to, telekinesis, telepathy, limited teleportation, and limited levitation), above average physical strength, enhanced senses ranging from vision to hearing ability. [B]Weaknesses:[/B] Aside from the normal reactions to holy water, white oaks, etc, etc, Alucard has several additional weaknesses that have marked him as something of an outsider among vampires. For one, Contact with UV rays (generally from the Sun) causes a violent reaction in his skin, and therefore prevents him from being active outside during the daylight hours. While most vampires are at least capable of consuming 'normal' food, Alucard's digestive system simply cannot handle them for some reason. Therefore, his only source of nourishment is human blood. He generally drinks exactly one-and-a-half pints a day, in one sitting, a quantity he expects to have delivered to him at supper, in his room. If this expectation is not met, he will leave school grounds for the night and find what he needs some way or another. Alucard sometimes hates himself because he is violently allergic to silver, much like lycanthopes, a particular infuriating weakness because of a traumatic event in his past. As if to spite this, he always wears a silver necklace bearing a Lanchester cross 'round his neck, which doesn't bother him so long as it doesn't touch his skin. [B]Powers:[/B] During the New Moon, Alucard sometimes gains the ability to completely disengage his body and become something akin to a moving shadow which can take on whatever form he pleases. It is a powerful ability, but not one without its own drawbacks. After coming out of this powerful form, Alucard is physically and mentally drained, and becomes unable to use any of his other natural abilities for some time. Nevertheless, it is because of this power that Alucard is especially agreeable on starting a fight during the New Moon Nights. [B]Personality:[/B] Proud, but not egotistical, Alucard is very much a vampire as seen through human stereotypes. He is always calm and collected, and despises an unfair fight. He adores rules, and always strives to abide them, a quality which has aided him in becoming a student teacher at the prestigious academy. He always sees to it that anyone who breaks the laws that everyone must abide is punished swiftly and, if need be, harshly. Alucard is perhaps slightly unique in his views on humans. While several think of them as vastly inferior to the Lunarians, he believes that all beings can be equal, if they see that they are all basically the same on a fundamental level. This goal of all-encompasing equality is what Alucard strives for, hoping to one day see a world where all creatures can live at peace with each-other. [B]Description:[/B] Alucard has almost chalk-white skin, and his glaring red eyes seem to pierce through his abundance of silvery-white hair, which falls just short of his waist. For one whose body has only aged about nineteen years, he is unnaturally tall, and extremely thin. His wiry frame is concealed entirely in an extremely tightly-wrapped black leather suit that almost seems as though it might once have been a straight-jacket. The only part of his body that can actually be seen is his face; the 'straight-jacket' reaches all the way up his neck. It is assumed that he wears this all the time so he can better conceal himself from the damaging effects of the Sun. [B]History:[/B] Alucard was born into a proud and wealthy family of vampires, the first pure-blood bloodsucker in fifteen generations. His family was very, how do you say...protective of their vampiric lineage, and therefore any non-purebred vampire born into the family was immediately dismissed from the family's mansion, usually just left to die out on the streets. He was raised in such fashion as the king of England himself would envy. His parents doted on him, spoiled him. Anything he ever wanted, he was immediately given. By the time he was of age fourteen, his strength, both physical and psychic, far surpassed not only his father, but his great-grandfather as well, who had previously been the most gifted of all the vampires in the family, which was not a claim to be taken lightly. It seemed like Alucard would be the most honored successor to the family headship. Certainly he would be a far greater head than great-great-great, a hundred times great grandfather, who though a highly respectable man in his own right, had grown terribly weak and soft over the long, long years. But all that changed on his seventeenth birthday. On that day, Alucard somehow came into contact with a silvered blade, a family heirloom, a relic from the bitter feud between his family and a lycan clan many, many years ago. He fell into a deep comatose state which he only just barely managed to survive, awakening again three months later. There could be no mistaking that the reaction had been caused by the touch of the silver blade. The entire house was thrown into disarray. Suddenly, the entire family, who had always loved him dearly, turned against him, calling him a filthy defect. The grudge was kept at a peaceful level until one night, unable to stand it anymore, Alucard's older brother attempted to kill him in his sleep. The attempt only failed because through some miracle, Alucard's body dissolved into a flock of frantic bats, though he had only achieved mist form before. When Alucard's body reassembled itself, he was fully awake and shocked that the family's pride had corrupted their hearts so. the moon was missing tonight, a New Moon cycle. Without even realizing, Alucard disengaged his body, becoming a shadow in the form of a writhing mass of death, and without even commanding himself to do so, he attacked. He attacked his brother, his mother, his father, the entire house, unable to control his own powers. On that night, Alucard was no longer the youngest member of his family. He was the [I]only[/I] one. Of course, the events of that night traumatized him. He spent the next fifty years in hiding, trying to discover what he really was. He caught wind of a school for non-humans, a haven where he might feel more at home. A place where he might learn just how inhuman he really was. He remains at the academy still, though he has long since passed all courses available there. He thinks of himself as a permanent resident of the school, and his remarkable grades, reputation for abiding the rules, and strange talents have even earned him a staff position there. He is a sort of teacher, so to speak, who teaches new students for the first few years of their enrollment. A practicioner of teaching through direct example, Alucard's methods are unorthodox, and, at times, even questionable, but highly effective, in helping the new students understand what they are capable of, but also teaching them that no matter how gifted they were, two things remained constant: never overestimate or abuse your own power, and always abide by a certain code of conduct, always reserve that central sense of self-pride.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stark Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Name: Tori Demisoki Battle Tag: Soir Age: 17 Subtype: Werefox Strengths: Aside from the standard set of strengths that most therianthropes have, Tori also possesses incredible agility, sharp hearing, excellent night vision, and a keen, though sometimes annoying, sense of smell. Weaknesses: Like above, she has the standard set of weaknesses that accompany therianthropes as well, such as rare or heavy metals. She is also overly friendly with alcoholic beverages, leading to many interesting nights and stories, Unlike others, however, she has a tendency to gravitate toward anything that looks and smells interesting, and is a massive cleptomaniac. Powers: Tori is an interesting case. Unlike other therianthropes, she is very adept at transforming into forms other than that which she was born into. Unfortunately, people soon figure out that it's her because of the presence of her tell-tale tail. Personality: Tori is a clever actress, and is capable of acting any way she pleases. She is a fun person, the sort who is easy to talk to and loves to play pranks. However, she can be cold if she has to. Appearance: [IMG]http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d101/Stark-San/RP%20Characters/kitsune3.jpg[/IMG] History:Tori's life has been...interesting, to say the least. Her family, upon realizing that their first daughter was a genetic freak, abandoned her in Monolith City and left her to die. Much to their dismay, Tori isn't that easy to kill. She spent her life as a theif, stealing what food and could and pawning any valuables she found off so she could buy clothing. But, even that wasn't enough. The people who saw her feared her, and she realized that she was too different to live on the streets. Tori found in the academy a place where she wasn't considered a freak, and decided to stay. She is content here, but she will never be able to fully escape her theiving ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talon Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 [color=crimson]The sign-up is closed to new posts at this time. It was a really hard thing for me to do, but I have made my choices. Before I list them, however, I would like to extend a little advice to those of you who didn't make it. 1) Make certain that your work is YOUR best. 2) Originality can make a plain post into a masterpiece. 3) If too many people are going for the type/character/race you'd like to be, try something new and maybe you'll surprise yourself by liking it more than thing you wanted to be. 4) Avoid writing "I'll get back to this later" in your sign-ups, it REALLY hurts your chances. If you don't have time that day, copy/paste your post into Word or Notepad and come back later. 5) Spelling and grammar counts. Be sure to use a spell-check program. 6) Most importantly: have FUN. That's why we're here, 'ey. [center]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/center] Anyway, on to the more important stuff. The sign-up is closed to new posts, however, ANYONE who has already posted may make a new character sheet or edit their old one and send it to me via PM.

Kiba_the_Chosen Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 [COLOR=RoyalBlue]Name: Ashnard Battle tag: Spirit Age: 506 (appears usually age 20-22 further explained in appearance) Sub-type: Morphology Spirit Strengths: Ashnard?s strengths exist in vampires and were creatures. He can pass through physical objects and transform into them. Doing this he gains all their abilities but also their weaknesses. Thus he has to know about his enemies before he can fully use his power. Weaknesses: Most weaknesses in Ashnard?s original form is when he encounters non-physical creatures. This includes ghosts, specters, etc? These creatures he is unable to pass through and take their shape, form, and ability. As explained in the strengths he can take on physical objects or beings but also gain their weaknesses. Unfortunately he can only do this for about 12 hours if he needs to but he will suffer 12 hours of not being able to pass through objects. Quite the drawback to being a morphology spirit. Powers: Has the ability to take on other physical creatures strength and weaknesses. Also has the ability to take on their form and pretty much everything. Suffering after this is a delayed time he cannot go through objects or creatures for the same amount of time he transformed. Personality: Usually quiet but outgoing for what he wants. If he feels like doing evil he will do evil. If he feels like doing good he?ll do good. Usually he stays pretty neutral. Usually he takes on the form of a early twenty year old man that he took the life of needlessly. Description: Nobody except the man he killed saw his regular form. Usually after that he would take on the shape of the man he killed. In his regular form he is a black orb of flowing energy that could bend into any shape wanted. When he is in physical form and not taking over others abilities he looks like this: [IMG]http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c162/Insantiyplea/mustang.jpg[/IMG] History: The man was his first kill and he did it accidentally. It was a problem with his morphology thinking he could do a human transformation. He was a rather courageous fellow that wasn?t scared of him when he first came to his face. After Ahsnard went in he felt excruciating pain of his molecules improperly extracted. Nobody could feel such a pain. He really thought he was ready. He wound up in school after that and has been studying.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 [B]Name:[/B] Mark Chaney [B]BattleTag:[/B] Umm... Mark Chaney? Although "Jinx" may be chanted often as an insult. [B]Age:[/B] 17 [B]Subtype:[/B] Human... Yeah Just human... a really unlucky one. [B]Strengths:[/B] He's a pretty average human, save for a pretty high pain tollerance, and a high imunity. He is however plagued with badluck, which is for the most part is the reason he has a high pain tollerance(due to NUMEROUS accidents, possibly severed nerves) and imunity (Untill the age of 13 he had a cold every 3 weeks) [B]Weaknesses:[/B] Well.. he is rather unlucky. [B]Powers:[/B] None known to him. He is however Pretty tough for a normal person.(No where near invulnerability) He has the ability to (atleast inspire sympathy if not) make up for lack of skill with good intent. [B]Personality: [/B]Mark can be a bit bipolar at times. Some times there are drastic moodswings torwards depression. They may be rare, but are severe. For the most part he's pretty outgoing and optimistic despite his unfortunatality(<---AWSOME MADE UP WORD!!!) He's fairly laid back and accepts most everything at face value. [B]Description: [/B]Mark is of average build, but his body is heavily scarred excluding his face. He usually wears a hoodie to cover up his chest and arms, but has had a tendancy to trip over his own pants so instead wears shorts, displaying quite a few scars that Ironically had him called "Frankenstein" in normal school. He'd probably be concidered quite attractive if he didn't have a scar cutting through his hair behind his temple, or a scar on his chin. It's pretty rare to see his brown hair well kept as the wind always seems to mess it up. For this reason it's kept fairly short. [B]History: [/B] The Chaneys are actually a pretty well known and prominent witching family. His father had been quite talented, but fell in love with a young theology professor. They were quickly married due to pregunancy, and shortly after Mark was born. Had they had longer to get to know eachother they would have found that they were completely incompatable, one Being a Wizard, and the other being a Jewish theologist. Despite these conflicts of intrest they managed to stay together untill Mark was 5 when they were divorced. This is about the age when Mark began to become "Unfortune Empowered". There are several theories on just why, but his family finds "Cursed" and "repenance for the family's misconduct in witchcraft" as the two popular ones. Mark has never really himself thought about it. He's just accepted the fact. Due to being a walking Calamity it was hard for Mark to make friends. Most just assume he does it for attention. He had a lonely life for the most part but made the best of it, He's had several pets and had a certian "Animal Empathy", unfortunately pets would cycle out every 9 months to a year as one was hit by a car, lost, or got into some antifreeze. The summer Mark turned 17 his bad luck had met breaking point, for the secont time his home was burnt to the ground unexplained. Though his father loved him, he had come to aknowledge that this invironment just was not the best for his son's condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
