Elemental School (OOC/OPEN)

Name: Naava Addler
Age: Seventeen
Sex: Female
Race: Human
Element(s): Water
Grade: 11th
Job: Unoccupied.
Bio: Naava was raised by her parents, in a rather normal middle-class home. Her family had never believed in the fantasy side of the world, and for a while, neither did she. Until she began to show signs of her element, water, that is. She tried and tried to tell her parents, but they just shrugged it off as her begging for more attention. It was only until her mother walked in on her while she was playing with her younger sister in the kiddie pool, blobs of water dancing around their heads.

It was then that she was taken to the school. At the time, she was fourteen, and in grade nine. Now, however, she is in her Junior year, and is turning seventeen soon. She's got a pretty good hold on her powers, and is in the more advanced stages of controlling it.

She's quiet, but not shy, and she's a pretty big science nerd. She studies hard, and tries her best in everything that she does. Late in her sophomore year, she began training in Martial arts, as an aid to her elemental ability. Water wasn't a very offensive element, so she's trying to incorporate other things into it.

Like her element, she's moody, and her moods can change in the blink of an eye. She's quiet, as stated beforehand, but she's in no means shy. She's modest, however, and doesn't like to show off her work to others.

I was just passing through and this RP caught my attention. I wonder, could I please make an 11th or 12th Grade Student (preferably the former)? I have a great character set up for this sort of thing from another RP that went south and I never got to play him.

((Thank you so very much!! I hope you'll accept him!)

Name: Brendan Meredith
Age: 17
Sex: Male
Race: Human

Element(s): Energy (Not in the context of Electricity. Energy, as in a pure form of power. Energy in Brendan’s context is the way in which he can use his Aura as a power (or an Element). With it, he can create a protective barrier around himself through which most objects can penetrate (and upon contact with humans can cause loss of consciousness), as well as fire energy projectiles which can burn through most objects. The potency of this energy, and the extent of its use is centred entirely around Brendan’s Aura (for example, if he’s depressed about something, his abilities would not be as powerful as they are when he is in a state of emotional height – like rage or happiness.)
Note: As the character develops, so too, will his abilities.

Grade: 11
Job: N/A

Bio: Brendan is a complex boy. If you were to ask him who he was, he'd give you the obvious answer, - his name - but deep down, he doesn't know who he is yet. He's working on it day in day out, but his struggle in doing so seemingly never ends. The first, *key* point of his personality is that he suffers Chronic Depression. He is friends with only a select group of people, and really isn't too rushed on making new ones. He does not respond well to change and feels that familiarity is key to stability in his life. Another thing to note, his shyness. A critical point about Brendan is he is a pacifist when it comes to people. He cannot physically bring himself to assert himself or his opinions, believing firmly that it’s not worth the trouble.

For example; if someone were to cut in line in front of him at a fast food outlet, he'd stand by and let it happen. If someone tried to start an argument, he would immediately back down. Confrontation frightens him a little bit. Making a scene is the last thing this guy wants. The word "pushover" comes to mind when attempting to describe him and deep down, it’s one of the things he hates about himself. He is also a people pleaser, trying where he can to help his friends in need and going far out of his own way to lend a hand. He does this partly because it’s the right thing to do, but also because he feels if he doesn’t, people will like him less. Most of Brendan’s faults hinder his progress power-wise. He knows how to use the power (and quite well), but due to his nature, he refuses to use it out of fear of many things.

He’s very insecure about himself, especially in the cases of his appearance and his intelligence. He’s really a bright boy, but finds himself daydreaming often – distracted too easily, and believes that he is stupid. He has the potential, but to the outsider would seem as though he was waiting for something. His biggest fault? He lacks motivation. He would rather stay inside for the rest of his life than see the world and live. Something in his psyche just holds him back, and he honestly doesn’t mind that. The easy, breezy, normal life for him. There is only one thing he wants in this world, and if he doesn’t get it soon, he will give up on life. That thing... is love. Not a familial love, not a close friendship kind of love. The real, unrelenting type that isn’t based around someone’s looks or things they do, but on the fundamental, basic ability of one’s heart. He wants to feel it for someone, and he wants someone to feel it, in turn, for him.

Nothing could possibly upset Brendan more in this world than when people aren’t true to themselves. He is the exception to that rule for the time being, because he doesn’t know who “himself” is. But in the world of materialism and what it is to be human (or Vampire/Elf/etc), there are a million and one things he doesn’t like, things that get on his nerves. But, due to his extreme case of pacifism, he won’t call anybody on their faults nor point out objects of his dislike.

Brendan was born in Australia, where his parents raised him until the age of 16. Because of this, he has the accent – people still understand him relatively well, though at times he can talk a little fast. His parents loved him to death, and wanted the best for their son. And the best is what they gave him, spoiled him and his younger brother rotten. He lived a sheltered life in Australia, and mentally; this is probably what led to all his personality faults. His parents (especially his mother) were very overprotective of him, which in turn led him to sort of fear the world. Fear people. Brendan first learnt of his powers at the age of nine, when another boy – who was older than he was – attempted to bully him. As the bully had thrown his fist forward, the nine year old had shut his eyes tight. But the pain never came.. When the boy opened his eyes, the bully was on the ground unconscious. It would be an understatement to say that Brendan didn’t know how to feel, and simply ran away from the situation.

He had few friends at school, having around 7-8 “real” friends. They cared about him and vice versa. They had no knowledge of his potential – no one did. But when his uncle called for him to come and stay with him “for a while” - experience another world for once. Brendan reluctantly agreed, leaving what he knew as “his” world behind. His friends were not supportive of his decision, and abandoned him. He no longer speaks to those “friends” he once had, and even his parents are now distant, (it had been two years after all) sending gifts for birthdays and Christmases but never offering to come and see him or ask him to come down for a holiday. Brendan had become a resident of the United States, feeling that his immediate family and friends had kind of abandoned him.

Trying to assimilate into society in a new land was a challenge for him. school had been the most difficult part. Trying to keep his power in check at he same time was also very difficult. Students (supposedly “grown up”) teased him about his accent, his love for writing, Anime and Manga. He was the “freak” of school. This was the final step down into his depression. This went on for a number of months, bordering on a year, until finally he felt he couldn’t take anymore. Walking to a drawbridge near his uncle’s home, Brendan stood on the edge. He was so ready to end everything, all the abandonment, the bullying, the pain and the sadness. But (almost too conveniently) just before he let himself fall forward, a cold, feminine hand grabbed his arm and yanked him back off the safety railing. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?!” Brendan didn’t say anything, simply sitting on the side of the road in a broken, dead silence. The stranger took him into the nearest hospital, who called his already frantic uncle. He never saw that stranger again. But he knew in his heart, she’d done more for him than anyone had. She’d shown him that someone truly cared in his world... That was almost a year ago.

His uncle was paying for his school fees, and also for him to see a psychiatrist. It wasn’t long before his secret concerning his abilities became knowledge for his Uncle. But as for paying for his living expenses, the free ride ended about a month ago. “Brendan.” He’d said “It’s time for you to move out, start living your own life. You can’t sit around here all the time, doing nothing. That’ll destroy you. I’ll still pay for you to see that shrink, and for your education, but you’ve got to move forward. In fact, I’m placing you in a new school, one that caters for your abilities. It should do you good.” This came as a shock to the boy, but at the same time, it hadn’t been unexpected. So, his Uncle had him enrolled at this new school (making arrangements for a dorm in which he can stay in during his education), and while no one has picked on him (yet), he hasn’t made a single friend.

Appearance: Brendan is about 6’0, has light brown hair in the sunlight, but dark brown in the shade. The style can only be described as overgrown bowl cut, lengthy (nearly down to his shoulders), but in place around his head. His eyes are a deep cobalt blue, and they feel no shame in shedding tears. He is hunched over when he walks(he is *not* a hunchback), and never ever stands up straight. He constantly has bags under his eyes (he prefers to stay up late, preferring Night over Day). As far as smiles go, they are few and far in between. His complexion is less than appealing in his opinion, he has a mild case of acne and already has slight scarring from it on both cheekbones. Under that however, is a face some people would see as handsome. He is in the middle ground of being “healthily thin” and “healthily overweight”.

An outsider wouldn’t call him fat, but he claims he’s “getting there”. He feels most comfortable in his room, in tracksuits and a t-shirt (blue is his favourite colour in shirts). Outside, just replace the tracksuits with jeans, preferably black ones and if the occasion is special (and you can convince him to participate) a suit jacket will go over the shirt he’s wearing. His shoes are simple sneakers.

Other: It is easy for Brendan to become “down” and his depression is not a pleasant one. In the event that this happens, he really doesn’t like to be alone. He loves the comfort of familiar people. It seems that his depression is on a clock, as the time around which it hits him hardest is usually centred around night time.

((I do hope I'm doing this thing correctly, this is my first ever post...it appears I just give a skeleton and you decide if I am in or not, right? Sorry, I'm so nervous...haha))

Name: Via Kurosaki
Age: 17
Sex: Female
Race: Angel
Element(s): Fire and Ice
Grade: 12th
Job: Waitress at a classic style diner
Bio: Via had a hard time making friends at her old school, and hoped for a new start here. She is defined by conflicting ideas, as her elements suggest. She's kind, but shy. She's motivated, but unsure of what she wants for her future. She's easily amused, but easily bored. You get the picture. More than anything, Via is embarressed that she was given two vastly different "gifts" (her elements). She wishes she had been normal, and only given one, strong, well mastered power, rather than two she can barely get the basics of. Her mother expects a lot from her, and she hasn't seen her father in years. Back home, she was the one who mainly took care of her brothers and sisters, and often worries about whether her mom can handle them on her own. She also has never been in love.
