Mirrors and Clocks

LXsongbird

Spaghetti Master




You receive a letter written on "Swordsmith Academy" stationary. It appears that you have been uniquely chosen to enter this school. In a daze, almost hypnotized, your parents say it would be a good idea.


Your first impression is that the people at the school are lunatics. They hang mirrors and clocks everywhere, one clock per mirror, and each has a number written on or attached to it. However, you quickly learn that this is a school for the magically inclined.


In the middle of the courtyard is a cork-board with small pieces of paper tacked to it. Each paper is written by someone who requests the help of one of you at Swordsmith Academy. The mirrors are gateways into different places, however far away those places may be. Each mirror has a number that corresponds with a request (numbers change after requests are completed!). The clocks next to the mirrors indicate how much time you have in a certain place before the mirror portal closes. Clocks can be on a scale of anything from hours to years.


Dorms are on campus. No classes, just jobs.

Julia has got pyrokinesis and is able to paralyze someone just with her sight. Also, she is sometimes able to get a glimpse of people's darkest side and fears.




Strengths:




Julia is really agile and clever. She is able to come up with ideas under stressful situations and has got really good senses and intuition. She's got an almost unbeatable aim, being a good shot. She knows how to play the guitar and drums.




Weaknesses:




Julia can be really impulsive and almost always acts before thinking. She's also stubborn and when she believes in something she does it blindly and with all her might. She's always honest and outspoken, something that will usually get her in trouble because she almost always speaks her mind, sometimes not being fully aware of the consequences of her words.

Power: invisibility and flight


Strengths: she is kindhearted and a logical thinker. She loves to help others and almost always puts the feelings of others before her own feelings. She fights with a sythe.


Weaknesses: she is EXTREMELY shy and soft spoken. Sometimes she is too concerned with the happiness and wellbeing of others and she will disregard herself entirelly. Both of her powers are very draining and if she uses them for too long she can become lightheaded and dizzy, to the point where she faints.


Crush: No one yet


Roommate(s): whoever wants to room with her go ahead.

Power: Can control dirt, sand, rocks, and minerals. Terraforming large parts of an area puts strain on his body.


Strengths: Incredible strength from years of training, cold and calculated, won't hesitate when going for a kill shot. Skilled with large axes/ hammers and prefers using them. Likes being around people, but mostly quite until spoken to or until a good friendship has been established.


Weaknesses: Too focused on the task at hands, often misses important side tasks. Lets others take charge of situations, but rarely follows directions.

((I may bring up a second character depending on how many people come in, that is, if you don't mind of course)


Name: Ryder Levi


Age: 17


Gender: Male


Appearance:


a3a0b38b-0719-4854-9e13-360c6f58c502.jpg



Power: Manifesting darkness. Unlike the normal 'darkness manipulation' often seen and stereotyped. Ryder manifests the darkness within the heart and soul. As such he requires the negative emotions around him to use his power. Whether it be fear, hatred, or sorrow. It is possible to manifest some power off his own inner taint.


Strengths: Calm, adaptive, and even more so strategical. Priding himself with always succeeding the open missions, it is not abnormal to find him using teammates in his own plans despite them being sometimes unaware. He is semi-proficient in hand-to-hand combat, as his power is often used over his own body.


Weaknesses: Though he finds no grief in using teammates, he can play favorites time to time. And though his reaction time is rather decent, he can be found as quite weak in terms of strength. Personally, he ends things with a single precise strike, especially when the bad outcome effects himself. Friends, family, and lovers are all a weakness to Ryder, as it lessens his negative emotions. However betrayal could have an opposite effect. As such, he rarely reaches out to gain a friend. With his power, he sometimes takes on the stronger negative emotions which can cloud his own judgement. With a distorted view, he sometimes desires to take some of the more severe pain of others and give it to himself as if to justify some of his actions.

My apologies if I am slow on starting up. Hopefully, I can see through the looking glass.
 
Name: Roo Basset


Age: 16


Gender: Male


Appearance:


  • RooBasset_zps96e04646.jpg



    Roo does not have cat-like ears.



Upon training, he may be able to summon other familiars besides the specified three.


Power: The power to summon familiars. These familiars will appear upon command and take orders from Roo if the familiar allows so. These familiars are just like human beings with skills on a weapon, but have powers gained upon learning or fighting.


Strengths: The choice to summon either familiar upon command allows for adaptability and strategy. Roo is easy to catch on to things.


Weaknesses: Only one familiar may be out at a time. Roo's energy will be drained each time one of his familiars uses a move that requires it (ex. Vivi's chaotic aura). When Roo's energy is diminished, the familiar will disappear and Roo will be rendered weak. Roo isn't very sociable (the same applies to some of his familiars) and he may make more enemies than friends.through the looking glass

Name: Largo Vinette


Age: 19


Gender: female


Appearance:


tumblr_me7p77hE981rm79yqo1_500.jpg



Power:


Flight self levitation to a maximum of 19ft.


Mind-delving- she can dive into someone’s mind a search their memories, even the ones they don’t remember themselves. This isn't really like being telepathic, it’s more like being a mind-reader. She doesn’t walk around hearing everyone’s thoughts, she only hears them when she focuses on them and purposely delves into their thoughts.


Possession- the ability to take over any creature’s body and restrain their will or shape it to her own. Depending on the size and strength of the creature, limits are put on the amount of time she can maintain this control.


Sacrifice Strength- An ability that forfeits the majority of her physical energy and stamina in order to give her target a sufficient stamina boost or rejuvenation. It takes 8 hours of sleep to recover from this.


Strengths: She is never in shock from surprising situations. She has a very strong inner will which is the heart of her power and she doesn’t give-up easily. Skilled painter; mostly she paints images of her nightmares and dreams--or the one's she received from other people's minds.


Weaknesses: If her will is broken, her powers weaken---which surprisingly happens quite often. She tends to be a push-over which often causes her to be taken advantage of. She doesn't have much muscle power. When she possesses other creatures, her self-awareness is very limited, causing her to be vulnerable to attack. Lastly, she is claustrophobic.


Crush: I can't even noodle.


Roommate(s): Hopefully Lulabelle. ^^;
 
Name: Nezumi Crush


Age: 18


Gender: Female


Appearance: black hair (slightly longer)


punk-rocker.jpg



Power: Elemental Manipulator... Effortlessly manipulate fire (but cannot create it... yet) and can control wind with little trouble (sometimes she has trouble...) She also possesses a mood sensor/siren soother. She cant read minds or anything like that, she can just feel emotions in others and when she sings her voice can help calm or escalate negative feelings.


Strengths: She has been trained in Taijutsu, has a brown belt. Her wind and fire combos are pretty impressive. She has a beautiful singing voice. She is also warm and kind. Funny and laid back.


Weaknesses: She needs a source of flame or a spark to use her Fire Manipulation, she isnt schooled on Water/Lightning or Earth Manipulation. She also suffers from stage fright and her mood sensor is involuntary half the time. She is easily depressed and angered. She is also very proud. When Nezumi mood sensor is involuntary, the mood she senses transfers onto herself. The longer the mood stays the stronger it gets. It magnifies onto herself. When she gets into the state, her Manipulator ability is uncontrollable. The only one who can calm her down is her brother Dmytri.


Roommates: Lulabelle and Largo, right? 
Name: Dmytri Crush


Age: 20


Gender: male


Appearance: (scar included) Recieved it training with Nezumi... Something that still haunts her.)


m147610768.jpg



Power: Water Manipulator/Summoner.


When Dmytri was 6, his sister and he got lost in the woods outside their house for 2 days. On the afternoon of the 2nd day, They were both getting weary, Nezumi had passed out from Dehydration. Dmytri clawed violently at the ground having remembered what his father had told him... Wells are underground water reserves.. If he could dig deep enough he might hit it... This desperate moment, unlocked his gift. The hole he dug slowly started to fill with water. Too physical weak himself to carry his sister to the water reserve he formed the water into mid air stream and stretched it to his sisters mouth... They were found a few hours later.


Healing ability. Whenever Dmytri touches anything, it will slowly start to restore itself.


Dmytri is a black belt.


Strengths: Great protection against fire, does not need a source to manipulate. Can summon water with his hands. Healing ability is always handy. Intelligent and Courageous.


Weaknesses: The healing ability is not instantaneous. It does take a while if someone is severely injured. The healing ability is halved for himself. A little bit on the serious side, over protective.


Roommates: Leo and Ryder
 
Songbird, how about having all the boys so far dorm together?


Edit: I almost didn't notice that there were five boys, not four... Hmmm....
 
I will work towards a post by tonight or early morning then.. One way or another, the thread is more easily accessible now.... I should feel so lucky that I see interesting characters around, it may be fun.


Let us all work hard... right?
 
If need be... I can make another male to even the ratio... Currently we sit at six females and five males if I counted correctly..
 
There can always be a room of 3. But if you really want a perfect ratio, I wouldn't mind creating a male character either since I currently have 1 female.
 
I think room of 3 won't be a problem, but if anyone wants to make another character they're welcome to do so ^^
 
And Just so everyone knows, I updated all of the information on my skelly. :D (no major changes, just filling in some blanks).
 
Ah... I noticed.. And thank you for the note in IC..


Though I don't know how to tag people in posts.... How unfortunate...
 
So who are my characters rooming with? lol i dont care who. Nezumi and Lula seemed to have formed a bond if I can camp up with HanaChan and whoever will be rooming with her?
