power; He claims his power is teleportation. His real power is time stopping - it takes him a valuable two seconds or so to halt the cogs of time. He can only retain this state of stopped time for half a minute or so before he starts to lose control and strain himself. He tends to enjoy to abuse this power a bit to pull pranks and mess with people. Can also pull others into his world of stopped time when he chooses to.

personality; Desmond can be rather impish and cocky - often far too much for his own good. He is also sometimes a bit of a flirt, reveling in any attention he can draw to himself. Underneath this exterior though - he can actually be rather mature. He's a bit lost in the world - and always have been. He deals with this fact by continuing to move forward, leaving the past behind in his wake. He doesn't dwell on history much. In the midst of his wild and often carefree nature, Desmond can be crafty when the situation calls for it. Rather selfish at times.

(Jessica and Desmond are accepted.
Wolf's Symphony could you please change the color of the text in your form? I can't read parts of it because it's too bright.

So the consensus seems to be that Adventure Week is a go! Alright people let's do this.)

Dr. Thato Ntuli
30 / asexual / South African / astral projection / biology professor

Switzerland was very different from South Africa. Dr. Ntuli had traveled all over the world for research and pleasure, but he'd never been anywhere like this. It was strange to look outside the window of his faculty apartment and see snow and mountains on all sides, boxing them in. It was a bit claustrophobic, especially since he was used to the relative flatness of his home country, but it was a nice change of pace, and certainly the mountains protected them from prying eyes. He also appreciated how green everything was, though that was sure to change come winter. But who knows? He might even learn to like it.
However, today was not the day to sit around and watch the sunrise. Most students had already arrived on campus and moved into the dorms, and now it was time for orientation to begin in earnest, and there was a lot of ground to cover. First, however, the university though it would be a good idea to get the students together for some bonding and team building activities so everyone could get to know each other. A sort of "adventure weekend" had been organized that would take the students into the mountains for camping and hiking down in the lower elevations. Dr. Ntuli had volunteered to go with the group so he could see more of the mountains. Hopefully it would be fun. He was eager to meet all the people he'd soon be calling his students, even if some of them wouldn't go on to major in biology.
He checked his watch. Everyone had been instructed to meet in front of the student center where a bus would be waiting for them. He figured he would get there a bit early. He grabbed his duffle bag, zipped up his jacket, and headed out. When he arrived he saw the bus idling in the parking lot, its bus driver standing outside.
"Good morning!" he called, "Bit chilly out today, eh?"
"Chilly? Sir, this is the warmest it gets for fall!" the bus driver laughed, "It's almost ten degrees!*"
Dr. Ntuli laughed.
"Is it? You'll have to forgive me. I'm used to it being just a tad warmer this time of year," he said.
Around twenty degrees** warmer, in fact. He wasn't sure how he was going to survive the winter.

*50 degrees F
** 80-90 degrees F

Elen Anda
19 / bisexual / Norwegian / electromagnetic field generation

Elen was extremely excited for adventure weekend. She'd grown up around mountains and fjords, of course, but they weren't nearly as tall as the Alps. She was looking forward to explore a place that was very similar to where she grew up, but foreign at the same time. She was also looking forward to getting to know everyone. She'd never been around this many fellow augments before, and it was amazing to her that there were so many people like her from around the world.
She finished packing water and a light jacket into her backpack and looked over to her roommate's side of the room to make sure they were up.
"Avery, are you ready to go? We're supposed to meet in front of the student center in five minutes," she said, "I checked the weather on my phone and it's supposed to be really nice out today."

[nyctomancy]

"i could do with five more minutes of sleep instead," came the grumbled response, from somewhere beneath the mass of pillows and blankets. fond of the nesting technique, the augument frequently could be found wrapped up in several layers of sheets. with a groan, the brunette slowly forced themselves into a sitting position, still curled within their star-patterned comforter. dull brown eyes peered up at elen in contempt, for avery made no attempt to hide their disgust with elen's early-bird tendencies. they were just lucky that there bag was already packed at ready to go - while avery would likely arrive fashionably late, it wouldn't be abysmally so. after staring at the floorboards for a couple of seconds, the augument eventually sighed, and clambered out of their warm bed and promptly spilled onto the floor. "too early," avery groaned softly, still lying on the wooden floor like a beaches fish. the brunette was certainly a morning person.

Nikita Sterling || Female || 21 || Innate Combat || Tags; Open
The blonde had been up before sunrise and was already standing in front of the student center, a bag slung over one shoulder. Nikita quickly grew impatient and started pacing. The girl had never been one to stand still, not even after years in the military. She noticed how most people were dressed in warmer clothes, while she wasn't even wearing a jacket. Must be my Russian blood, she inferred. Sterling still wasn't exactly sure what she'd hoped to accomplish during this 'adventure weekend.' Friends weren't exactly her strong suit. The only friends she'd ever really had and cared about had been her old unit. Sometimes she wondered whether it had been a good idea to leave. Too late now.. Sterling sighed and sat down, waiting for the others to show.

Beatriz "Betz" Lopez / 27 / straight / Spanish / tag teleportation / P.E. teacher

-"Ah, mi muñeca... maldito frío..."
Betz woke up at 6am, as usual. Due to the low temperatures, her left wrist usually hurts in the morning and nights until she starts moving and the body gets warmer. After a long, warm bath with some sea salt and the morning warm up, she went to the closet. She chose the white undershirt with long sleeves, another one without sleeves and her favorite blue shirt with long sleeves. This one had a small spanish flag in the back, and was a bit old. For the lower half she chose the usual black sport trousers and some military looking black boots. They would be helpful to move around while keeping the feets warm and dry.

Just in case, she got her backpack ready with an extra pair of clothes, her running shoes, a basic med kit and also her food for the day. After a light breakfast, she left her room and headed to the bus. It was still 8am so she took her time.

Desmond Miles / Male / 19 / American // Tags; Nikita

Backpack over his shoulders, Desmond gave off a rather enthusiastic wave while he made his way to the student center. "Ah, up so soon? And here I thought everyone loved to sleep in." he questioned, eyeing Nikita - the only other student he was able to spot. "I don't suppose the others are hiding anywhere?" He was rather curious and eager to go on the adventure weekend. He wasn't sure what to expect - just the way he liked it. Traveling to new places and meeting new people was something he reveled in. Where to start! The difference in ambiance - the air, the sights, even the smell! The new faces! He wondered what kind of interesting characters he would encounter today, starting with the girl in front of him.

Nikita Sterling || Female || 21 || Innate Combat || Tags; Desmond
The blonde had noticed Desmond approaching moments ago and wasn't surprised when he spoke. "Not everyone," she shrugged with a thin smile. "And no, nobody is hiding. Seems you and me are the only morning people around." She stepped forward, extending her arm so she could shake the other student's hand. "I'm Nikita Sterling by the way, but please just call me Sterling," She introduced herself, not bothering to tell him what her ability was. Like she'd give away all her secrets to the first person she met.

Dr. Thato Ntuli
30 / asexual / South African / astral projection / biology professor

Dr. Ntuli noticed two students who had arrived, but the rest seemed to be lagging behind a bit. He couldn't blame them. The jet lag for some of them would likely be pretty bad for a few days until they adjusted to the time here. These two seemed to be doing ok though. He walked up to them and smiled.
"Good morning. How are you two settling in? Ready to get out in the mountains today?" he asked, "I'm Dr. Ntuli, by the way. Nice to meet you."

Elen Anda
19 / bisexual / Norwegian / electromagnetic field generation

Elen sighed.
"You're going to miss the bus. Then you'll be all alone for the rest of the day," she said.
If she knew Avery better, she would probably resort to some underhanded tactic to get them up, but since she didn't want to cause trouble with her roommate on the first day, she decided negotiation would probably work better in this instance. And maybe a little electromagnetic nudge. She took a deep breath and focused on Avery's electromagnetic signature, which wasn't entirely incoherent, but it was certainly agitated due to their apparent exhaustion and morning grumpiness. She focused on synchronizing their wavelengths and leveling out Avery's so hopefully they would feel a little more relaxed and alert.
"Come on, it'll be fun," she said, "You'll feel better once you get moving."

"fun is sleeping in for four more hours," avery yawned, but even so they picked himself up from the hard surface. stumbling over to their organized dresser in their pajamas (which consisted of an overlarge t-shirt and 'shorts' that were most likely boxers), the brunette rummaged through the clothing they had stacked the previous night. eventually settling on a simple long-sleeved button-up shirt, the augment changed in front of their roommate, shrugging off the tee with their back to elen, before buttoning up the off-white fabric. evidently, they weren't ashamed of their body. after slithering into the jeans, avery grabbed a woolen jacket and scarf, presumably for the cold weather. but there was still something missing.. ah yes, their specialized belt. from beneath their cot, avery brought out the thick strap that was outfitted with four leather deck holders, each of which held a different specialized deck. "mmkay, i'm ready." avery said, turning back to elen. leaning over, the brunette grabbed their bulging trip bag and threw it over their shoulder. "soo.. are you buying breakfast?"

Jess Quinn || Female || American || Water Manipulation || Tags: open
The fluent stream of curses that flew out of the small blonde's mouth would've shocked even the most seasoned sailor. She cursed time zones for being so much different than her east coast home in the United States. She cursed her alarm clock for not being loud enough to wake her up. She cursed the fact that the air was so much colder than her bed. But most of all, she cursed pants for being so hard to put on in a hurry. Her only saving grace was the fact that she had packed her bag before she went to bed. After slipping in a long sleeved t-shirt and a jacket over it, she slid on her hiking boots she had bought to come here. This was Jess' first experience really being in the mountains like this. She cursed mountains too just for good measure. She had a feeling she would hate them anyway. With a final contemplation over whether she really needed to go and if she really needed friend, she forced herself out the door and ran to the meeting place.
