Name: Cable Floyd
Age: 30
Sex: (Oh god yes. <3) Male
Race: Mechanically enhanced human

Room: 302

Concentration: English, architecture, gym, elemental control, archery.
Power: The ability to alter his body's natural electrical current. This allows him to do things such as have an electric touch, increase several attributes of his mechanical arm, shut off and toy with electronics he's in contact with, etc.

Short Bio: Cable was a former student of the academy who left when he graduated to help support his parents. He became a construction worker, but an accident severed his arm and part of his torso. He was thought to be dead, but a good friend dragged him to the hospital. Said hospital reattached the remaining nerves to a plastic prosthetic arm and sent him on his way. Cable then returned to the academy and became a teacher. Throughout his years teaching at the academy he's altered his prosthetic arm and learned it inside from out. The alterations allow him to use his arm as a weapon to augment with his control over electricity.

Personality: Always eager to gain and share knowledge. Cable tries to attain an omniscient point of view in every situation surrounding him. You could say this causes him to be a bit nosey, but he considers it curiosity. Similarly, Cable can be a bit cocky, often giving smart ass remarks to questions asked outside of class. Tl;dr version: Cable is a nice person who's a bit rough around the edges.

Appearance: Cable's got pale skin with white hair and ocean blue eyes. Cable has a slightly muscular build. He's no strongman, but he's clearly done some weight lifting. When teaching his more formal classes, he wears black dress pants and a white dress shirt with thin blue stripes. Cable occasionally accompanies it with a white glove on his right hand. In his informal classes or even out of class, he generally wears a pair of blue jeans and a white undershirt. Cable's right arm and part of his right bicep/shoulder are made of steel and coated in a shiny black, flexible material.

Other: He doesn't tolerate electronics in his classes and will generally shut them down if he realizes they're present. On a side note, Cable is good with practical problems and human-machine biology.

One thing I noticed is we have a lot of abnormally young Juniors. XD And since no one is a freshman so far and I think of this school as a rather small place, it is safe to assume that most everyone knows each other. Though not all may be friends. >.>

Anyone who still wants to submit a profile can and is encouraged to!
I'll be starting up the IC later tonight or tomorrow. :D

Name: Anya Demeter

Age: 16

Sex: Female

Race: human

Room: 105, she asked to stick with her sister

Grade: Sophomore

Power: Empathy: Ability to read or sense the emotions of others, usually within 5 ft of her.

Dream Creation/Manipulation: During the day, she can accidentally see the "daydreams" of those around her, usually within 5 feet of her, no further. She's not strong enough to mess with those but she can be pulled into the background to watch, like a movie, especially if she is on the same emotional wavelength as them (because of the empathy). For now, Anya can only "mess" with the dreams of someone who is already sleeping. She has only limited control over what is actually shown in the dreams, although she is learning more about it. As she gets more control, she can use the basic subconscious thoughts of the sleeping mind to learn more about the person who's dreams she's in, using her dream ability to bring those thoughts to life. Eventually, she'll be able to make those that are awake "day dream", perhaps seeing what she wants them to see or, if she's nice, letting them see what they want to see, like an actual daydream. If she isn't careful, however, she can get her own dreams mixed up with those that she's been in, confusing their mentality with her own.

Short Bio: Anya had a normal family and a relatively normal childhood, aside from her usual way of always knowing how someone was feeling and, embarrassingly, some of their most private of dreams. And, considering her parents and the sad story surrounding her sister's diagnosis, until she was said to be okay, just with an unusual power now. She was never able to explain how she knew any of her own powers worked and, quickly, learned not to mention any dreams she had witnessed. While she couldn't talk about what was happening, Anya found she had to find a way to release some of the increasing "insanity" within her mind. Writing turned out to be a very helpful pass time. So did music, if she managed to totally immerse herself in it. When the letter arrived from the school, Anya jumped at the chance to learn about her "gift", anything to be able to control what she had no grip over.

Personality: Anya is a very private person, avoiding most social situations if at all possible. She always has her earphones, a book, a writing notebook and a pencil with her. Her nose is usually in her book, even when she's walking down the halls, and her earphones in, music turned up. When she's sitting in class or somewhere else, she will sometimes be found scribbling in her notebook. She is, however, close to her sister and has a friend or two here and there.

Appearance: Anya

Other:Anya feels bad when her powers kick in. Most times she doesn't even mean to enter the dreams, as she feels it is a wrongful intrusion. She tries to avoid being around anyone if they are sleeping, fearful she'll end up in their dreams.

OOH!! an empath, wickedness! i love playing empaths...reading/watching someone else play one will be pretty damn fun!
especially as i have two currently active empaths (in the same Rp...they are related)....nice.
.....almost mistook your characters ability for Oneiromancy, but then i read more of it...pity really...
...then again, people have been using Oneiromancy as more than a divination's tool in fiction...some consider it magic of dreams, and any dream like or related magic falls under it...
...but thats only some people, no?
I write for the same reason I breathe, because if I didn't - I would die.

@ Ryoku. I get it now. Thanks!
And I guess you are the only senior. No first years, either. Odd. I thought that might be more popular.

All right. I have decided, since I love to have lots of characters in such RPs, that everyone can have up to two characters. So if you would like to make another character, you can go ahead. We are in need of teachers, keep that in mind.

I am also going to post the profile for the Headmaster. He is mostly a NPC so anyone can use him if necessary. Just keep him under the guidelines of the profile I post for him. This Arther Arby character is one I have been using for awhile in a book I'm writing. So he is a bit of a darling to me. XD

@ Midnight Insanity.
She doesn't have that much control over her powers, I was just making references to what she learned and could learn, I guess I'll elaborate more with each ability with her powers, like their limits at the moment and whatnot xD

Okay. It's fine. I was just checking. :D

Here is my second character. She is the daughter of two character who I have written about extensively. So if details are missing, let me know, I may have forgotten them because I know them so well myself.


Name: Aki Omallia

Age: Fourteen

Sex: Female

Race: Half-Vampire Half-Demon

Room: 101

Grade: Freshman

Power: Aki has the ability to speak with spirits and anything that is no longer living. She can sense when there is a spirit around, and often she can sense whether it has good or bad intentions. This ability is useful because she can often ask these spirits to help her do things. If there is a spirit stuck in the realm of the living she can send it back to the land of the dead, but this takes a lot of energy and is very dangerous for her. Occasionally Aki will see into the future or see the memories of those around her. She does not have a good handle hold on this ability yet, but she hopes the schooling she will receive at Hidden Hills will help her learn for to control it.

Short Bio: Aki is the odd and rare creation of two dead parents. Neither race is able to produce offspring, but for some reason the two lovers were blessed with their own little girl. They two took Aki as a gift to them from the Gods, which she very well may have been. They treated Aki with more care than either of them had ever received, spoiling her like no other. Both of her parents attended Hidden Hills, so they wished that their daughter would also receive a letter of invitation and be able to attend. Lo and behold, she was invited and is going to be starting her first year very soon. The entire family is very excited.

Personality: Aki is incredibly different from her depressing parents. She is a giggling bundle of energy. She loves to have fun and do spontaneous things. She is a real sweet heart as well. One of the best shoulders to cry on out there. Aki has a way of cheering people up that is almost a gift itself. She brings joy into the lives of anyone who passes her way. No one would dream of harming the young girl once they meet her and catch a glimpse of her infectious smile.

Appearance:
The Girl In Front

Other: Aki will often "zone out." At least that is what appears to be happening. In actuality, she is making contact with something in the spirit world. She does not have a lot of control over when something will overtake her, so it often happens as odd times. Also, due to her father have power over death itself, she can converse with him in a similar manner.

Name: Raphael Volerus (Dr. Volerus, thank you very much!)
Age: Appears to be 28 or so, is actually pushing two hundred.
Sex: Yup! ... Heheheh... I mean, male. Male. ^^;;
Race: Vampire (was a sea elf before becoming a vampire)
Room: 305
Concentration: Biology, Chemistry, and all the goodies between the two. (Molecular Biology, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Genetics, etc)
Power: Typical vampire abilities, including...
- Dominate. This one is his particular forte. It allows him to control the actions of another person. The target may resist this compulsion, but it is difficult since Raphael has such an aptitude for it. He can only control one person at a time, though, and the target must be humanoid.
- Mist Form. Raphael can turn into an incorporeal mist in order to move through solid objects and fly.
- Spider Climb. Raphael can walk or climb on any surface, no matter how smooth. Gravity is a non-issue, as his hands and feet seem to stick to the walls. (Think Spiderman.)
- Alternate Form. Raphael can change into a bat or a wolf. He cannot Dominate someone while in that form.
- Fast Healing. Wounds he sustains rapidly heal.
- Damage Reduction. He is less affected by damaging effects (unless the damage is coming from a silver weapon.)
- Strength and Charisma. Raphael is stronger and more attractive than your average mortal.
- Immunities. Raphael cannot be affected by mind-altering effects, sleep effects, poisons, or paralysis effects.
- Resistances. Raphael is only mildly affected by cold and electricity.
- Undead. He's undead, so he doesn't need to sleep or breathe. Drinking blood, however, is a necessity.
Short Bio: Raphael was a sea elf for almost the first three decades of his life. While outside of the water, he was accosted by a near-starving vampire and ended up one himself. Since then, he has been using his unlife to his advantage to learn everything that he was unable to while living in the sea. He got a Ph. D for his studies in Marine Biology--being a former sea elf certainly helped with that--and he only recently started teaching at this school for the gifted.
Personality: If you're not intelligent, you're not worth Raphael's time. He's not the kind of teacher to go slowly and help along those students who aren't smart enough to understand the material. If you're not keeping up, he thinks that you don't care enough about the material to keep up. Though if you ask for his help, he'll give it. Being interested in his subjects is the easiest way to get on his good side. Followed by being good at his subjects. Close second there, though. But outside of class, he's easy to talk to and is almost friendly.
Appearance:
Raphael

Other: Raphael has several weaknesses associated with his condition.
- Sunlight. Raphael cannot be in direct sunlight for longer than six seconds at most. If he doesn't get out of the sunlight, he turns to dust.
- Moving Water. Raphael cannot cross moving water (like a river) without being in a boat or being carried across. If he falls into moving water, he is paralyzed until removed from the water.
- Silver. Raphael is allergic to silver.
- Mirrors. Raphael is repelled by mirrors when someone else is holding it between them.
- Holy Symbols. Raphael is repelled by holy symbols when someone else is holding it between them.
- Private Buildings. Raphael cannot enter a privately-owned building without permission from the one who owns it. This extends to a person's room, as in the case of the students' and teachers' rooms. He only needs that permission once, but he cannot enter unless he gets it that first time.
- Garlic. Raphael cannot enter a place that smells strongly of garlic.
- Stake to the Heart. A stake to the heart will "kill" Raphael, but he returns to life if the stake is removed.

((Edited to add in the other powers and to add in the "no entering dorm rooms" stipulation.))

I don't want to do the whole "schedule" thing. So just tend toward the classes that already have teachers. And the teachers are friendly, so a lot of conversation will be made and stuff.

Name: Daen
Age: 18
Sex: Male, technically... *giggles*
Race: Changeling
Room: 203
Grade: Junior
Power: He's a changeling, so naturally his powers lie in his ability to change his appearance at whim. This can be simply changing hair color and length, eye color, skin color, etc. Or it can be a change of gender or even race. Though he can only change into other humanoids. He's also not very good at these changes. Certain traits of his tend to stick, and so he's attending this school in order to work on making his changes more seamless.
Short Bio: Daen has no memories of his family or early life. The oldest memories he has are of when he was ten and traveling on his own. He has been living as a thief for as long as he can remember, since his skills are well-suited to that. And... well, he's also been known to prostitute himself own when he's in a truly desperate situation... But since he's at this school now, he doesn't see himself having to steal or whore himself out for a while in order to survive.
Personality: In public settings, Daen is peppy and carefree. He's a sweet young man and is rather playful. The kind of person that other people tend to like being around. Though when he's alone or with just one other person, he tends to be more serious and moody. He's very intelligent, though. And very clever. A trickster, indeed.

I think the room restriction should apply. Kael considers his dorm room something of a home, so he would have a threshold over the room. Just my thoughts, though.

Okay. Well if anyone else thinks so then I'm sure BadWolf won't mind changing it. It shouldn't affect things that much.
