"Are you a freak? Are you a loser? Of course you are. Just look at you. Well come on down to the Supernatural Research Club. We may not have a cool clubroom. And we may not be popular or respected. But we'll accept anyone willing to sell their souls to the cause. And that cause is . . . to shine a light on the world of the unknown and prove to the world that we are not crazy! . . . We also have snacks."
Mashiro, Recruitment Speech for Supernatural Research Club
Okay, this is the premise of what's going on. Ever since you were six, you've exhibited strange powers. They were very weak so you didn't think too much of it. You lived your life as a normal child and now you're entering high school. You go to Crowley Institute, a school for the "gifted" set in Tokyo, Japan. (In case you're wondering, no, you do not need to speak or learn Japanese though you could throw in a few words or phrases if you wish. Just remember to translate them. And no full sentences or posts in Japanese, for the love of God, no.) You can talented in a field (academics, athletics, etc) or you could've gotten in through money and connections, but that's not important now. Somehow, you've been roped into joining the Supernatural Research Club either by Mashiro Kuromizu, the president, who most likely dragged you off against your will, or Mikika Ootori, the secretary, who might have threatened you into joining. The important thing is that you are here now.
You're now a part of a club who's been labeled as the weirdos of the school. There goes your plans of making friends. Looks like you're stuck hanging out with these people. Strange thing is, that ever since you started hanging out with these people, your powers have been growing. And it seems that the others have abilities as well. Could this be fate? Or a strange coincidence? Anyway, it doesn't matter because the president has decided that it is now your mission to become super heroes and save innocent citizens from evil spirits.
Now the president is dragging you all over town and maybe even Japan to investigate ghost stories and urban legends. This may have been okay if the stories weren't actually true. Now you're stuck fighting spirits, murderers and just about everything that goes bump in the night. Let's hope you survive for final exams.
Okay, the powers are:
- "Sound": With sound, you are able to hear just about all sound within a 10 yard radius (including the heartbeats of others), convert soundwaves into shockwaves (echoes make them stronger), and move at the speed of sound. When the rp starts, you are just twice as fast as a normal human with fairly sensitive hearing (Only about 3 yards).
- "Steal": With steal, you can shift (kind of like teleport) things toward you (only concrete things but maybe if you're good, you can steal someone's air), and read minds (to steal thoughts or memories). When it starts, you can only shift things that you see and can physically hold in your hand. You also can't separate things yet. (You can't "steal" someone's eye or something.)
- "Sight": Sight allows you to cover multiple types of vision (farsight, seeing in the dark, esp), increased intelligence (able to "see" the answer) along with increased strength and sense of balance (This is because to become a good sniper or markman, you have to be able to hold the weapon steady). When it starts, you have improved vision (4.0 but no special vision) and you are stronger than a normal person.
- "Dream": Dream gives you prophetic but vague dreams and the ability to summon things from dreams or nightmares. When the rp starts, your dreams are extremely vague and come only sometimes and you can only summon these floating cloud babies for some reason.
- "Mask": Mask allows you to shapeshift (into animals or people), and invisibility. When it starts, you can go invisible but the best your shapeshifting can do is change your eye or hair color.
- "Sword": Sword gives you sharper nails and teeth (so you might want to file those down every now and then), you can turn limbs into metal (and in case you're a boy, I'll allow it to effect the entire lower half so no one can try a cheap shot), and turn most thin edges into sharp weapons (cards, paper, fans etc. Watch out though because paper cuts will hurt like hell). At the beginning, you have the sharper nails and teeth but you cannot turn into metal, and the edges into weapons thing has only a 25% chance of working.
Rules:
- no godmodding

- If anyone wants to be an officer we still have treasurer left. It's not really a necessary role so it doesn't really matter if it gets filled or not.
My Characters:
Name: Mashiro "Mashi" or "Ma-kun" Kuromizu
Age/Grade: 16/ Sophmore
Power: Sound (It's funny because he's tone deaf.)
Appearance:
View attachment 8033View attachment 8034
Personality: Mashiro is outgoing, friendly, excitable, easily distracted and a bit ditzy. He just does whatever he wants when he wants and almost never thinks things through. However, as stupid as he seems, Mashi is actually extremely intelligent and maybe a bit of a genius, as weird as he is. He can be over-affectionate and loves hugs. Used to being the center of attention, Mashi does a lot of things that make you think he has no sense of shame. He probably doesn't. He also has no sense of value and often splurges money on random stuff.
History: Mashi was born the oldest of three children to the Kuromizu family, a rather wealthy family that runs the school. Because of the Kuromizu family's connections to the Ootoris, Mashiro and Miki grew up as childhood friends. The rest is a secret because I can do that. Nanana booboo stick your head in doodoo.
Other: Mashi is afraid of . . . a lot of things, which is weird given his love of the occult. It all terrifies him but he loves it anyway.
Name: Mikika "Miki" Ootori (Mashi calls her Mi-chan. Only Mashi. If you do this, she will kill you.)
Age/Grade: 15/ Freshman
Power: Dream (Looks like she's stuck with floating cloud babies for a while. Doesn't really fit her image, does it?)
Appearance:
View attachment 8035View attachment 8036
Personality: Miki is almost Mashiro's polar opposite. She is quiet, calm, and intelligent. However, she is also rather cruel, dark, violent and merciless. She is the one who keeps the president in check, which mostly ends up with her beating him. She is kind though, in her own twisted way. She is rather blunt and never spares people's feelings with sugar coated words. Having strength, money and connections, she is someone you do not want to cross. More suited to the shadows, she is usually the one who cleans up after the president's messes (although lately that has become the vice president's job) and is usually the one that does all the research.
History: Secret~ Though she got into the school via the music program, being classically talented in the violin. She has other talents that are confidential as per training from her family. Her parents died when she was young and she has been living with her uncle ever since. The Ootoris run a series of hospitals and other health related professions.
Other: Miki leads a gang of delinquints called the Skylarks. She is terrified of porcelain dolls and small dark spaces. When she is afraid, she has a habit of trying to beat the fear away. Like Mashiro, she has extensive knowledge about the occult.
