Creating Your Character;
As was previously mentioned, one of the aims of this level is to teach you to consider every aspect of your character, thus creating a well-developed character who has some sustenance to him or her. To begin with this, we at the RP School have created a basic outline that you may expand on (but not subtract from).

Upon Acceptance
When your character is reviewed by your proctor and deemed worthy, you may proceed to roleplay. Please keep in mind that we are training you for role play sites as well as those rp threads here on CS, so we will be doing this in a turn-based fashion. Do not step out of turn.

Turns
savannah. > Night's Song > Star In The Sky > Zenyatta > Nimble Love > Jenjo

Once the proctor has posted, you may start from the beginning.
A proctor may post before their turn, only if post they are replying to requires immediate attention. (A student has powerplayed or godmodded)

Remember;
• When your proctor posts, it will be in this colour. Please keep your posts in black.
• When you are talking out of character (which shouldn’t happen often), always write in between double parenthesis.
• Use quotation marks! Also, you may wish to bold everything in quotation marks, as this makes it easier to distinguish talking from everything else.

Roleplay;
Okay! You have all chosen to do a fantasy/supernatural boarding school roleplay, and that is what we will be focusing on. To start you on your roleplay adventure, the proctor has written up a short prompt. Please continue with it, keeping in mind everything that is included in it.

Prompt;
Holly Valley's School for the Gifted is located in, you guessed it, Holly Valley, a tiny town hidden in the valleys of Northern Scotland. Hidden away from the rest of the world, Holly Valley's School for the Gifted accepts anybody they believe to have a magical affinity. Physics, elementals, genies, anybody that isn't quite.. normal.
It is the beginning of a new term, and the sixth formers are back for their final year. They'll have to learn to duel and fight in combat using their powers, as well as learning to fully control them.

For your convenience, all character bios will be reposted here;

(Am I allowed to post my form out of order? I shall delete if not. c:

Also, this is kinda like X-men! 8'DD *dies of happy* Although, I'm not sure what powers I can give them without it seeming like I'm copying X-men. x.x)

Name:
Ryan Riker. But everyone calls him Strike, except the teachers. If you're not a teacher and you try to call him Ryan...

Gender:
Male.

Age:
19 years young. Coming up on 20. (Please tell me if there is an age limit, I'll change it if needed.)

Ethnicity:
Caucasian white.

Ability:
He's got two. Some consider him lucky for it, though most assume it's a curse. He has super speed, but can only use it in 5-8 minute bursts at one time or he gets too exhausted. The other one is that he can turn any part of his body hard as steel, which makes running up and punching somebody very...extreme. His main attack is circling them so fast they nearly fall over, then rushing them and punching the helpless victim with his iron fist, thus earning him the name "Strike".

Hair colour:
Brown as dirt, most say.

Eye colour:
Also brown. He has a thick brow, which makes his eyes his most dominant future. Some kids at the school joked about how if you stare into his eyes he burns up your soul from the inside out.

Most believe it too.

Skin colour:
Slightly tanned, but mostly just white. Not super pale. Just... average.

Special Markings (tattoos, scars, etc):
Back in the days before he was in the school, he got this tattoo.

Height:
6'2".

Clothing style:
Plain white T-shirt, plain baggy blue jeans. He has this pair of old, beat up Chuck's, and he nearly always wears those. You know, plain.

Hairstyle:
Short and brown; longer near the top and shorter down by the ears and neck. Not too crazy at the top though, just a little bit longer. He doesn't believe in all that gel and hairspray crap. He just gets his hand wet, runs in through his hair till it's slightly spiky, and that's it. He hardly even brushes or combs it.

Frame:
Tall, broad shoulders, muscular. He works out a lot. He has a bad habit of leaning over people, towering over them. If they even get near him that is. He's rather frightening.

History:
Strike's had a hard life. At the age of six his father left his mother because he wanted to get hyped up on drugs, and Strike got in the way of that. Not to mention he was "special". After he left, Strike's mother, Megan, got addicted and became a drunkard. She was always drinking, and always spending the close-to-nothing money they had on liquor. Little Strike didn't attend school, because of his "problem". They never called it anything besides that. It was just known as "the problem".

Because of Megan slacking off and being a horrid mother, Strike could pretty much do whatever he wanted. Up until he was about 15 he was a party boy; did drugs, smoked, vandalized, stole, the whole shebang. At 14, he faked an ID and his mom's signature to go out and get a tattoo. He was living on the streets. His mom didn't care. He could stay with her, but at least out there he could do what he wanted when he wanted.

Then he heard of the school. The school for special people. The school for people with problems. The school for the weirdos. It wasn't much to go off of, only a name. A whisper. And that it was in North Scotland. But he did it. He got on a bus and he hunted it down. He was just 14, almost 15. Then, he joined.

And that's when his life changed.

Personality:
A big bully. He hates obnoxious girly girls, he hates girly guys. In fact, he's a bit of a homophobe. Nobody really knows why. He would never go as far as to beat someone up because they were gay (though he has no problem with beating people up) but he definitely doesn't like them. He's quiet, but can be loud when needed. He's not afraid to speak up. He's really a hopeless flirt; he can't resist a good looking girl.

Likes:
His favorite kind of music is dubstep and metal. Basically anything with a beat that he can turn up so loud he doesn't have to listen to anyone whining at him. Eating and smashing stuff is also pretty high on the list. When you have super speed you tend to eat a lot. He loves training. That's when he finally gets some alone time. Most of it is meditation for him, trying to get his anger under control. Then there's the part of training where he just smashes things. Yeah, that's great.

Dislikes:
Lemonade. All kinda of ade, to be honest. Pink lemonade, strawberryade, any kind of ade. He doesn't like fruity juices, or treats. He prefers bitter tasting foods. Gay people, for another. He doesn't know why, he's just very uncomfortable around them and he just doesn't like them. Doesn't seem right.

Strengths:
His fists and his speed.

Weaknesses:
Women. He's a sucker for a hot chick. It helps that he is generally accepted as "sexy", so he usually scores if they get past his dark side and his stony glare. If someone tried to seduce him, it'll most likely work.

Greatest Fear:
Flying. Strike believes that feet remain on the ground, and his feet will continue to do so. There's nothing wrong with heights, it's just flying. He doesn't know how this fear came about, it's just always been there. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he has super-speed, and one can't exactly use super-speed when you're in the air; not much room to run. He is so incredibly grateful to whatever divine forces there are that his ability isn't flight. If it was, he most likely would have just flown off a cliff.

Greatest Desire:
Getting rid of all the people who hate "special" people with "problems".

Goals in life:
Learning to control his powers; stopping the hate for the gifted; getting a proper girlfriend.

What Does He/She Regret:
His life before the school.

What is He/She Proud of:
Getting better at controlling his anger.

Family life:
Heh, non-existent. After he left his mom to find the school, he didn't make any contact with her. For all he cares and knows, she could be dead.

Other:
None.

[aiu]

Name:
Eponymous Clent
Gender:
Male
Age:
19
Ethnicity:
Caucasian
Ability:
Illusions, which means he can trick your minds into thinking that their are multiple of him, he can scare the heck out of you, make mirages, etc.

Hair colour:
Blonde
Eye colour:
Brown
Skin colour:
Pale white.
Special Markings (tattoos, scars, etc):
A little scar on his chin from a knife scratch and scars going all the way around his wrists that he claims was from a childhood accident.
Height:
5 feet 10 inches.
Clothing style:
He wears a old fashioned brown cloak with a hood that is often up and black boots that go about halfway up the lower part of his leg. Most jeans bother him, but for most situations he wears more-or-less comfortable worn jeans. With that he likes to wear his white dress shirt and a tailismen given to him by his grandpa, who had powers like he did.
Hairstyle:
Really messy since he pretty much takes a shower and that's that.
Frame:
Although he is muscular, he is still quite lanky. He has slightly sharp facial features.

History:
Eponymous was born on the streets, so his mother left him on the steps of a mansion, where he was a raised wealthy by his 'grandpa'. His grandpa died when he was 11 and he was given everything since his grandpa had no other living family. He was then able to really get whatever he wanted, but never really spoiled himself, since Grandpa raised him not to be that way even with all the money. He enjoyed going out and tricking people into things, but never really stealing anything. Due to his connections with many people, he learned of the school for people like him. He took little time to get signed up. Other things will be revealed in the RP.

Personality:
Eponymous is not a very trust-worthy person, in fact, he should be the last person in the school to trust. Since his power is illusions, he likes to weave impossible stories and trick you into getting him things. He tries to show-off as much as possible and is a big flirt. Even though he is untrustworthy, he still can fool many people with a well told lie and his powers.

Eponymous is not someone who gets close to anyone, but when, or if, he does, he usually tells the truth and will talk openly to you.

Likes:
Eponymous likes to travel and to flirt with girls, but he has never really gotten close to one. He likes to swim as well.
Dislikes:
All uptight people seem to annoy him and so do people who don't understand him.

Strengths:
Eponymous just really wants to protect and help everyone around him, not to mention he has faith in, well, everything. Those features remind him a bit of Grandpa, so it's his way with keeping him alive.
Weaknesses:
Eponymous is not at all trustworthy! To add to that he is a conman and will manipulate almost everyone who crosses his path.

Greatest Fear:
Fire! The real reason is unknown, even to him, but he can barely stand candles.
Greatest Desire:
To see Grandpa again.

Goals in life:
To help as many people as he can and find his family.

What Does He/She Regret:
The fact that he never met his family.
What is He/She Proud of:
When he showed his Grandpa his powers and he was so dang delighted.

Family life:
Um, he has never met them, but he had a good life with Grandpa.

[the force awakens.]

Name: Ashley Tarnetta
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Ethnicity: Ashley is Asian-American.
Ability: Ashley can fly because she has wings, which the pattern of her wings are blue and black zig-zags. She has an extra lung and can breathe water.

Hair colour: Ashley has blonde hair.
Eye colour: Ashley's eye color is ocean blue.
Skin colour: She has medium-colored skin, because she is Asian-American.
Special Markings (tattoos, scars, etc): She has her ears pierced that look like flowers with small diamonds incrusted in her earrings.
Height: She is 5'7.

Hairstyle: Ashley wears her hair usually in a single braid, or in a single ponytail. She sometimes wears her hair in a double-ponytail.
Frame: She is tall and muscular.

History: Ashley has been in hiding from public because of her powers for years. She spent the school years home-schooling with her parents. She always wanted to meet people, and here she goes to boarding school, with a bunch of "rich kids."

Personality: Ashley is very kind and nice, but she can become mean otherwise at people. Ashley has a bad temper when people are rude to her, based on her history at home. She is very friendly and is very trustworthy. Just don't be on the clique. Also, she wants to become independent to her parents, showing that she isn't needed to survive.

Likes: To be a great friend, adventure, and to be happy.
Dislikes: She hates SpongeBob, and basically any clique-like activity. She hates boys, and drama in all forms.

Strengths: Reading, math, and English.
Weaknesses: Science, and History.

Greatest Fear: Losing her best friend. It would be horrible to her.
Greatest Desire: To be 18, and live her own life. Ashley's spent too much time in hiding. She wants to explore when she grows up and become "Miss Independence" to her parents.

Goals in life: To become her own person, and see what the world needs.

Maybe she'll inspire someone other than a scientist.

What Does He/She Regret: Ashley regrets her bad parents. They treat her badly. The reason why she was mistreated was that Ashley tried to sneak out of the house when she was only 5 to get ice cream.
What is He/She Proud of: Showing her parents the invite in the mail to Holly Valley. She would still be stuck at home if she wasn't here.

Family life: Homeschooling, and dealing with her parents. She was "grounded for life", like Rapunzel. Otherwise, she has no extended that she has met. Ashley guesses that they are dead.
Other: None, for now.

(I don't think turns count for forms.)

[Caskett]

Name: Jayden Lydia Brooke
Gender: Female
Age: 16 year, her birthday is December 19th.
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Ability: A basic description would be mind reading. Jayden can feel the thoughts of another person or being by coming into physical contact with them, and can maintain this connection as long as some part of her is touching the subject. The power is controllable, in the sense that she can choose whether or not to use it, but sometimes she can gain too much information and become overwhelmed, leaving her no choice but to draw out of their mind. Most of the time the only knowledge she can gain is what the subject is thinking, but if she has been in their mind before or knows how they think, then it is possible that she can see memories as well as thoughts. To her, the each mind is like a slightly different code, and once she learns the patterns she read the message. Humans have always been unaware of her intrusion into their mind, but when Jayden tried her power on her horse, the gelding bolted away from her, breaking the contact. It is much harder for her to read non-human thoughts, because something that is not human cannot mentally put them into words, so they are expressed just as raw feelings.

Hair colour: Dark chocolate brown, like a mahogany bay horse, and it gets glossy in the summer, when she pays extra attention to it for parties and beach dates.
Eye colour: Jayden’s eyes are an unnaturally pale shade of blue, with uneven patches of darker, navy blue bordering her pupil and the edge of her iris. Catching the light can make them appear almost see through, and often she wears sunglasses to avoid stares from passers by. The color is most likely a gene linked to the one that gave her a power.
Skin colour: Her skin color is very pale, almost an ivory shade, and her cheeks turn a rosy overtone if it’s cold.
Special Markings (tattoos, scars, etc): Pierced ears, and a small, diamond-shaped scar on just above her right elbow, which she got from a horse bite as a child.
Height: Jayden is 5'6", so about average, but she doesn’t mind, it lets her ride either short or tall horses without feeling awkward or messing up the balance that is needed to help a horse move at its best.
Clothing style: Preppy would be an easy word to describe almost all of the clothing that lines the racks of Jayden’s enormous closet. She likes sweaters and mini skirts, skinny jeans, ruffled tank tops, and anything with a tiny bit of sparkle and detail, to distract from her piercing eyes. To her old school she had to wear a uniform, (bleh!). Shopping with friends means bringing out the ballet flats, lip gloss, frilly cardigan, and miles and miles of plaid and navy blue, all from expensive designers that appeal to her teenage ideals. Jayden doesn’t usually make her own styles, whatever’s popular will soon be found in her closet. When riding she wears pastel polos to brighten up her pale skin tone, along with maybe a rhinestone-studded belt if she feels blingy.
Hairstyle: A bit of styling on Jayden’s part easily transforms her hair’s appearance for any number of social events, but naturally her hair is wavy and thick, ending at a little more than 3 inches below her shoulders. She likes to curl it the most though, and will wind it around her fingers during class. Whenever she rides she puts her hair into a tight bun or french braid and keeps it under her helmet and out of her way.
Frame: Jayden is about average height and weight for her age, and athletically built from riding horses most of her life.

History: Jayden grew up on a prestigious horse farm just outside of Boston, Massachusetts, riding since “before she could walk”. Her father taught her on an old lesson horse named Henrietta, and she fell in love with the sport and the animal. Once she was old enough, she started competing in local horse shows, and then she started winning, lining her walls with blue and tri-colored ribbons. Her parents realized that would be wonderful publicity for their barn, Bel Canto Farms, and pushed her to win more and more, putting a huge amount of pressure on her. Even though they wanted the best for her, Jayden often felt like she was just an advertising gimmick, and became distant from her parents. She reacted to the way they treated her by blowing up once, which did not work, and then holding her tongue, whispering her feelings to Red while he munched on hay. While she does love horses, Jayden was taught to do anything for a blue ribbon, and the pressure made her grow up insecure about herself because once she would win, her parents would just expect her to do better and better. At school, Jayden is about average in terms of academics, but because of her family’s wealth, she always had a place within the circle of popular people. Part of popular cliques and at the top of the social hierarchy, she never told anyone about her power, for fear of being branded as one of the weirdos at school.
Personality: Because of the constant pressure placed upon her by her parents, Jayden grew up insecure, and to people not within her circle of friends she can be rude and snobby, though on the inside she wishes that her life could was as secure as theirs appear to be. She’s nice enough, and always ready with a joke to crack up her popular friends; she loves to make people laugh. Jayden doesn’t speak about her horseback riding much, since it isn’t “cool” to be totally obsessed with something, but she thinks about riding every day, and it is a part of her life that she will never let go of. Her horse, Red Raven or just Red, has been her constant companion, helping her cope with anxiety about school or horse shows by comforting her, and letting her explore his mind, communicating in the most intimate way possible.

Likes: Jayden loves horses, fashion, and whatever’s “in”. When she was little, she had a mobile that played “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” when it twirled, and she has always especially liked that song. She also likes drawing, though she doesn’t get much time to practice it.
Dislikes: Anything not popular, riding Western, and large prints on clothing.

Strengths: Jayden is a talented equestrian, good at working her way to the top of a social hierarchy at school, and using her power to get people to do what she wants, by reading their thoughts and appealing to what they want.
Weaknesses: If someone were to hurt Jayden, physically or emotionally, she probably wouldn’t be able to fight back, even though she might sometimes be the one to start a fight.

Greatest Fear: Jayden’s greatest fear is suffering an accident so severe that she wouldn’t be able to ride again. Another smaller fear is that she will read a mind with so much in it that she will go insane, and never be able to draw out.

Greatest Desire: To reach the Olympics with a horse trained by her, using only natural horsemanship methods and her power.

Goals in life: Jayden wants to be in the Olympics for eventing, and then become a horse trainer, using her powers to figure out what the horse is afraid of an dhow she can help.

What Does He/She Regret: One day, when she was little, Jayden tried to read her friend’s mind. She found out a very dark secret, and now she is always slightly hesitant about reading minds, because she feels that something that personal shouldn’t be read by an intruder.

What is He/She Proud of: Despite complaining about shows, Jayden is proud to be a good equestrian with a possible future in that career, as well as her power, which she is determined to use for good when she grows up.

Family life: Jayden lives with her parents, Michelle and Vincent Brooke, and her little sister who is nine, Lyra ( pronounced Lie- ruh). They often get on each other’s nerves, especially since Lyra’s power is mind bending, she can make people want to do things for her, but most of the time they are allies. Her relationship with her parents is always a little tense, because of the pressure that they put on her, and the fact that they are seemingly unaware of it. Even though she knows her parents wouldn’t intentionally hurt her, sometimes it feels like they don’t realize that she doesn’t want to be an advertisement for their farm. Once, when she was just getting her power, around her ninth birthday, Jayden tried to use it on her parents. She thought it would be funny, and discovered what present they got her. When she told what she had done, they got very mad at her, and she hasn’t read their minds since. Jayden’s best friend is a girl named Mallory, who lives in her home town. Even though she is leaving, Jayden’s confident that her friendship will remain strong, because of a mutual love of horses between them, and daily Skype sessions.

[christa renz]

Name: Shelby "Shoal" Leckhart.
Gender: Female.
Age: 16.
Ethnicity: Caucasian.
Ability: Some say that Shoal can swim like a fish. However, she can do much more than that. Not only does she have the ability to stay underwater for extended periods of time (she still has to breathe, of course, but her stunted gills take in enough oxygen for her to survive much longer than the average human could), but she is also an amazing swimmer. Unfortunately, being part fish has its downsides: because her eyes and brain are partially that of a fish, she is colorblind. In addition, Shoal is hardwired (as all fish are) to see motion and contrast, which means that she will sometimes not notice things that are not in motion and are dull in color. Unsurprisingly, she has walked into quite a few lamp-posts and telephone poles. She also can't go without water for too long without her skin cracking and her body showing symptoms of extreme dehydration, so she swims every day.
Hair colour: Her hair is a pale blond reminiscent of the sandy beaches she so loves, although it often takes on a greenish tint when she goes to chlorinated pools. This is, however, not an issue with the lakes and oceans around her school.
Eye colour: Her eyes are a desaturated grayish-green.
Skin colour: Her skin has a deep tan from swimming in the sun so much, coloring her pale base with rugged sepia.
Special Markings (tattoos, scars, etc): Dark brown freckles are scattered about her face, ears, elbows, and other parts of her body often exposed to light (like forearms and such) but to a lesser degree; Thin gill slits line the sides of her neck, feeding in to her trachea (she usually covers these with bandages when not swimming to protect them, even though it's quite uncomfortable); There is translucent webbing that stretches between each finger and toe.
Height: She is about average, a little short even, at 5' 4".
Clothing style: Shoal favors functional over fashionable, and her clothing choices could be seen as eccentric by some, due to her colorblindness. Her typical outfit is a pair of athletic shorts or sweatpants and a tank top/t-shirt with some sort of high-contrast symbol on it (her main way of telling her clothing apart). In the winter, when the cold air irritates her gills, she will also wear scarves. She generally wears a swimsuit under her clothes.
Hairstyle: Shoal's hair is trimmed short around her cheekbones; it's longer in the front than in the back so that she can use the longer strands to tie back the main body of her hair and swim more efficiently. Sometimes there are twigs, crusty pieces of sand and salt, or tiny seashells in her hair, but Shoal usually doesn't notice.
Frame: Slim, toned, and athletic. Her legs and arms may appear wider than average, but that's from muscle.
History: Shoal had a fairly normal childhood, at least until her fish attributes became apparent at around age seven. Before then she was a normal little toddler, although she did always dream of being a mermaid rather than a princess. Her dream came true. However, her family had no idea what to do with a mutant, and usually left her to her own devices. She went to a public school and failed all of her classes, skipping most to go swimming instead. She simply had no interest in reading stuffy books when she could be in the water, and her parents didn't seem to care. They were far too focused on her brother Russel and her sister Tara. Thus, when the invitation letter to Holly Valley arrived, it was a blessing for everyone.
Personality: Shoal is generally cheery, pleased by the small things in life, and even a bit naive. She may come off as simple to some, due to the fact that she can hardly read, but her intelligence is actually pretty average. Her eyesight, however, is most definitely not average (as discussed previously). Because of this, she is not very book-smart. She's not the most street-smart or socially adept either, for that matter, due to her lack of human contact in some of the most essential years of her childhood. However, Shoal's time at the academy thus far has helped her to gain at least enough of these skills to pass her classes and work well with others. She is only truly and blissfully at peace when she's in the water, but a nice piece of saltwater taffy doesn't hurt either.
Likes: Shoal loves swimming, sea salt, laughter, cool breezes, and saltwater taffy. She is addicted to that taffy.
Dislikes: However, she strongly dislikes cats, fire, books, dull-colored objects, school classes, and fashion. Fashion is a major barrier between her and other girls her age, because Shoal simply can't comprehend it due to her color-blindness, and it seems to be the only thing her would-be friends talk about.
Strengths: Super-fast reflexes (unless the object is dull colored and/or moving slowly); swimming skills; able to take in more oxygen at a time and thus strengthen her muscles (usually underwater only as her gills can be easily injured); optimistic outlook on life.
Weaknesses: Addiction to saltwater taffy; inability to see slow-moving and/or dull colored objects; near-inability to read; colorblindness; difficulty doing certain exercises on land (such as running) because they feel so unnatural.
Greatest Fear: Drowning/Being unable to swim. It's her entire life, and she shudders to think of what would happen if she lost her fishy abilities. Cats are also a big fear, especially those larger than her. Shoal would never voluntarily go to a zoo.
Greatest Desire: To just go and live in the ocean, without all the hassle and stress of modern society and trying to fit in when she is clearly an outsider. Maybe when she turns 18, Shoal will finally get her chance to just leave it all behind... The only thing she would miss would be her taffy.
Goals in life: Same as her greatest desire, Shoal really just wants to become one with the ocean. Swimming is all she needs, and she intends to keep on doing it.
What Does He/She Regret: Having such a useless "ability", for one. Her fish characteristics are more of a hindrance than a help in combat. However, that's not really something she has control over. In that respect, Shoal mostly regrets not getting closer to her family. She misses the sort of connection everyone else seems to have to their parents while she mostly feels like an outsider in her own home.
What is He/She Proud of: Her swimming ability. Shoal's joy in the water more that balances out all the downsides of her strange fish-human genetic makeup. When she was really young and her gills/webbing were not immediately apparent, she was the star of her swim team. Until her parents pulled her out because it was unfair to the other children, that is.
Family life: Shoal is quite distant and unconnected from her family. They interact more on the level of good friends or even close acquaintances. They don't fight, but they don't love each other either. They just don't quite get along with Shoal. However, the family without her is basically the typical nuclear family (father, mother, brother, sister). Shoal is just the outcast third child that doesn't really fit in.

Are people still participating in this? Jenjo?
