Orphanage For The Out Of The Ordinary (Starting, still open)

[Marie Rain]

~~~Plot~~~


People all around the world were born different, some though were more different than the others. When these people were rejected at birth or something else had happened causing them to be alone they would have to be sent to an orphanage by law. Because of fear or hatred of these people they were tossed out on the streets for being this different from the rest. With no where else to go they were lost and unwanted with nowhere to go. For this reason, the orphanage for the gifted was created. This is a place where all kinds of special children can be loved and accepted until someone loving adopts them. All of the orphans were taken in by Mr. David who grew up much like them and treats them well.


I'm assuming you wonder what makes these children "gifted"? Well it's a number of things. They can be born with a power that gives them superhuman abilities that weren't very well controlled. They could be a half creature, meaning wolf-human or anything similar having an animal feature. The two don't usually mix except for the half creatures having hightened senses. These people are all in the same group even though they tend to be very different from each other. Some have very different goals in life than others would of course. We welcome the different with warm arms to be great one day.


The area they are in is a bit separate from normal people but still close enough to explore the town. They live in a castle built by Mr. David in the woods. Like normal children would they do go to school but most are homeschooled because of issues with the school. The orphans have many privileges and freedom but there is a curfew set to keep them safe and accounted for along with other basic rules.


~~~Rules~~~


1. Romance is allowed but don't go over board with it. Meaning no sex.


2. Try not to make one liners, it doesn't give the others a lot to work with.


3. Don't write in first person. It's confusing to everyone because of most everyone writing in third person.


4. Be literate! Make sure everything is properly punctuated and capitalized.


5. No godmod obviously.


6. Do not copy others powers when creating a character, try to make them different.


7. People with animal features do NOT have super powers. For example, a wolf boy will not be able to use fire. He would probably be able to run fast or smell powerfully. Hightened senses does not mean superpowers.


8. Be nice to everyone :3

Name: Lily Evans


Age: 16


Gender: Female


Half Creature or Power: Power


Animal Type/Power: Lily can manipulate plant life to her will. She can understand what they are saying and feeling as well. Because of this power she feels that the plants are her closest friends in the world.


Backstory: When she was born the plants from outside broke through the window and floor to surround her and keep her safe. Lily's parents were afraid and convinced she was a dangerous person. Her mother rejected her not believing that Lily was actually her child. She wasn't given a name by her parents because of this fear. Her mother tried to commit suicide because of giving birth to Lily making her believe she couldn't have a normal child. Her father decided to throw the baby out on the side of the road to die but Mr. David found her. He took her in and gave her the name Lily. She got this name because of the lilies that surrounded her on the side of the road. Since then she's lived and learned at the orphanage. She realizes that the people hate her but she doesn't care, she's happy with her plants.


Personality: She is naive by nature but if you make her angry she won't just stand by easily. Lily is a difficult person to make angry of course because she feels there is good in everyone. She loves every living thing on the planet which makes her an easy target for bullying and pranks with her extreme trust. Even though she is a nice person she is also a curious and fun loving person.


Etc: Lily has strong beliefs and follows them forever. When she's older she wants to create a garden which everyone will be happy in.

[Alexx]

Name: Jane Frost


Age: 17


Gender: Female


Half Creature or Power: Power


Animal Type/Power: Jane can control snow/water. water freezes when she touches it, and if she focuses enough she can freeze anything she wants.


Backstory: Jane was born in a small town in the arctic, her mother was not very healthy when she gave birth to Jane. When Jane was born her mother died during birth, leaving Jane in the cold by herself. When she was born she had a natural blue tinge to her skin, when someone from her town found her in the cold, they thought she had died but they were shocked to find her still breathing and not even affected to the cold at all. As Jane got older the blue skin faded to a light pale skin colour. She was brought to the Orphanage for the Gifted, when she reached the age of 7 because that is when they found her powers and the family she was staying with didn't know how to deal with them. Jane hated the family she was with for sending her away, she thought that they didn't want her anymore, that she was too messed up for a family to love her.


Personality: Jane can be quiet or she can be very outgoing, but only if she is around people she is close with. She loves to play in the snow and go running across the lakes in the fall since the water freezes under each of her steps. she also enjoys making ice sculptures as a hobby. She get's offended easily and is very emotional. When she gets mad a snow storm starts and when she is upset it starts to snow lightly.


Etc: Jane sometimes wishes she didn't have her powers but she knows that she wouldn't be her without them. She eventually wants to move back to the arctic and live back there for the rest of her life, since she doesn't like warm weather very much.

Can I reserve a male spot? I'll post his app later tonight, I gotta go get dinner now orz 
Okay I'll edit with his backstory when I get home. But here he is so far - WIP!


Name: Darien Ellyas


Age: 18


Gender: Male


Half Creature or Power: Power


Animal Type/Power: Pyrokenetic, which means that he possesses the ability to create and control fire. Darien's powers allow him to create bursts of flame and high heat at will, and when it's a self-created flame he has the ability (though it causes him some mental duress) to control what that fire does. Once his fire spreads, however, he cannot normally control it in any fashion and it is free to devour and destroy whatever the flames alight on. Basically... once it's lit he can't put it out. He's a walking forest fire waiting to happen. His mutation causes him to remain at a fairly high temperature except when sick (when he has a cold and the like he drops to a normal human temperature. When he has a fever he tends to burn off his own clothes and smoke, rather than sweat, it out). He has trouble controlling his temperature in all areas but his hands, which he has fairly good heat-control in. Because his powers are mentally triggered extreme emotions can cause dramatic fluctuations - he heats up dramatically when angry, excited, or embarrassed, and when he's sad or in a depressive state he cools down to an almost-human temperature, which is pretty dangerous for him (he also has a bad habit of smoking/his hair lighting on fire when he gets at all aroused).


He has absolutely no control over his ability whatsoever - any abrupt change in mood can cause a sudden wildfire without his actively trying to trigger it. Highly unstable.


Backstory: Darien was born to two fairly loving if highly conservative parents, and he lived happily with them for the first six years of his life, his only grievances being that of having to deal with a sister a year younger than her and the basic inconsequential qualms of being a young child. Some months after his sixth birthday, however, all of this changed. Darien first became aware of his powers a scant few days after his sixth birthday when he was struck down with a terrible fever. His parents could do little more than watch in horror and hope the ambulance would arrive soon as they watched their son's temperature rise up above what anyone had been recorded as living through even with minor to major brain damage. When his fever finally broke it was with a truly explosive finish - his bed lit on fire. With his powers fully realised his parents came to see that they would be disastrous and highly dangerous to their family they got rid of him immediately. Darien was put into foster care for a time but no one could handle his explosive abilities and he quickly got transferred to the orphanage.


Personality: Darien is the sort of person who would find happiness in a house made of dung. He's almost constantly content where he is, if only because where he came from was always worse. When he lived on the streets he learned to be thankful for every little bit of cover and scrap of food, so now a couch is like a goose-down mattress with silk sheets to him. He can make himself happy in just about any situation he's put in, and because of this he often never tries to better himself. He'll be utterly content in slum-like living conditions, and never think to want something better, because it's already a lot better then what he was in before. Because he's happy where he is, he doesn't think that he can be happier anywhere else, and so he doesn't try to be. As such, he doesn't usually realise he wants something until after he has it - he didn't know he wanted a couch until he was sleeping on one, he didn't know he wanted a bed until he'd been moved to that. He didn't realise how much better it was to have new, clean clothes until he had the money and means to pick up a few new shirts. Likewise, he rarely realises that he likes someone or wants to be in a relationship until he already is, and can rarely think to make the first move. He doesn't understand the consumerist need to want more more more, and likely never will.


That being said, there are some things he will never stop striving for, the foremost of which is normalcy. Darien hates his abilities with fire, and has tried to suppress or get rid of it from a very young age. He's only recently started trying to control it, and it's still the part of him that he can stand the least. While he severely dislikes the fact that he's a werewolf now, thanks to Simon's attempt at eating him near the end of their relationship (which was actually the cause for the split, go figure), he knows that came about by an outside force, and as such he hates that particular part of him somewhat less then his tendency to light things on fire when he sneezes. In any case, he strives to be normal in every way - it's his dearest wish, the thing he wants most to fix about himself. He blames his abnormality for the fact that he was disowned (which is entirely true), and assumes that until he finds a way to make himself 'normal' his family will never want him back (which is entirely not). This is also why he isn't very open about his orientation - while he's not ashamed of who he is and who he likes, he knows that it's cause for being ostracised, and as such doesn't like to talk about another 'abnormal' part of him, as he sees it.


He likes animals more than people for a number of reasons, one being that he was just never a very social creature. He gets dogs and cats and birds, etc., more than he does humans, if only because they share his essentially simplistic view on life and ability to accept and often even be happy in whatever situation they're dropped into. He also adores them, at least on a subconscious level, because of how loyal some animals can be. Animals don't care that he's at a higher then normal temperature at all times, and they certainly wouldn't disown him for it. In fact, cats tend to like how warm he is. He often gets to play radiator for them, which makes him quite happy. The simple acceptance that he finds in animals is more then he's ever expected from a person, and as such he loves them all dearly. He cannot understand why any human would willingly leave behind or hurt an animal, and can at times be scarily protective of them, even ones he's never met before.


When it comes to sports, Darien is highly competitive, and borderline obsessive. He's incredibly active, and spends more of his time in cleats then he does regular shoes. He'll practice for hours a day, and when he has a game coming up he often calls extra emergency practises, and will run his team ragged up until the day before the game, then let them have a full day off to rest. He trains relentlessly and takes extreme joy from all forms of sport, though sometimes others find his willingness to give up a social life for training to be disturbing. The thing is, sports are his social life - he doesn't have many friends, so his teammates are the closest thing he's got. It's one of the only ways he can hang out with people his age, given that he's too old for sleepovers and the like, and when he was young enough he didn't exactly have any parents around to take him to one.


Etc:He tends to scratch the back of his head with his hand whenever he doesn't know what to say, and often when meeting new people.


He has a bad habit of taking home strays, especially when living in an area that doesn't allow pets.


He's gay as a flag.

Name: Misty Silvon


Age: 16


Gender: Female


Half Creature or Power: Creature


Animal Type/Power: Misty is part wolf, having a wolf tail with ears. She has heightened senses and is able to run a little quicker than others.


Backstory: When Misty was born she was a perfectly normal child, maybe smaller than she was supposed to be but still normal. As she grew older she started to grow the ears, always hiding them under hats from her parents because she was afraid of what they would thing. After a month they were fully formed and she learned how to fold them against her head so they wouldn't show which came in handy, Just when she thought that she couldn't become even more of a freak she grew a tail, something that she couldn't possibly hide. Misty's parent walked into her room one day as she was looking at her tail and ears, her not even noticing them somehow with her heightened senses that she adapted to, and saw her new features. At the age of 12 she was abandoned bu her parents and living on the streets where Mr. David found her and took her in to the orphanage where she has been ever since.


Personality: Misty is a generally shy and quiet person, only becoming her random, sarcastic, and laid-back self around the ones she trusts. She loves to sing or play on her acoustic guitar in her free time, which she just happens to have a lot of. She usually stands back and observes things but loves to meet new people, always trying to make them feel welcomed. She is catastrophic and hates to be around big crowds of people so she is usually by herself.


Etc: She usually plays with the tip of her tail or hair when she is nervous, she loves to climb trees in her free time or play with animals, she doesn't show her emotions that often, and has a high pain tolerance.


Appearance: Just add in the wolf ears and tail, they are both the same color as her hair.

Animal Type/Power: Misty is part wolf, having a wolf tail with ears. She has heightened senses and is able to run a little quicker than others.


Backstory: When Misty was born she was a perfectly normal child, maybe smaller than she was supposed to be but still normal. As she grew older she started to grow the ears, always hiding them under hats from her parents because she was afraid of what they would thing. After a month they were fully formed and she learned how to fold them against her head so they wouldn't show which came in handy, Just when she thought that she couldn't become even more of a freak she grew a tail, something that she couldn't possibly hide. Misty's parent walked into her room one day as she was looking at her tail and ears, her not even noticing them somehow with her heightened senses that she adapted to, and saw her new features. At the age of 12 she was abandoned bu her parents and living on the streets where Mr. David found her and took her in to the orphanage where she has been ever since.


Personality: Misty is a generally shy and quiet person, only becoming her random, sarcastic, and laid-back self around the ones she trusts. She loves to sing or play on her acoustic guitar in her free time, which she just happens to have a lot of. She usually stands back and observes things but loves to meet new people, always trying to make them feel welcomed. She is catastrophic and hates to be around big crowds of people so she is usually by herself.


Etc: She usually plays with the tip of her tail or hair when she is nervous, she loves to climb trees in her free time or play with animals, she doesn't show her emotions that often, and has a high pain tolerance.


Appearance: Just add in the wolf ears and tail, they are both the same color as her hair.

Name: Xavier Vastman


Age: 15


Gender: Male


Half Creature or Power: Power


Animal Type/Power: Conjuration/Manipulation


Backstory: Xavier grew up in a poor neighborhood an eventually lost both of his parents to disease at the age of five. He was on his own for several months and it wasn't easy. He was constantly fighting for food and running from the people who didn't take to kindly to beggars. His powers had helped him a number of times, but they weren't properly trained and they wouldn't help him forever. He was eventually found by Mr. David on an especially cruel winter night and he reluctantly came with the man. He initially didn't trust the older gentleman and it took a year before he even spoke a word to him. After opening up to Mr. David, he began to see the man as a father figure and listened to his every word. He took up studying and turned out to be a natural. At the age of ten, he was already flipping through college texts books. He also trained his powers and became very proficient in using them, but he still wasn't perfect at it. He never attended school because he was shunned for his quiet personality, intelligence and heterochromic eyes. Up until now, he had always stayed in the orphanage and does not speak to anyone, except for Mr. David.


Personality: Xavier is a very quiet person and only talks to people he is close with, leaving people to believe is mute. He listens to Mr.David's every word, since he is the only person he trusts. Although he has a somewhat cold exterior, Xavier is actually very kind and selfless. When he is comfortable enough to be around someone, he can be described as a mother. He hates violence and abstains from fighting when possible. He has never gotten angry, since he is always calm, so it is unknown what he is like in that situation. He is not one to give in easily, when he thinks what he's doing is right.


Etc: Xavier enjoys nature and the arts, since it fits well with his quiet personality. He is almost always found reading a book. He took to music very quickly after opening up to Mr.David and became a talented musician. He excels in playing the piano and violin.

Do we have enough people to start?

 

[Renn Skye]

Name: Deliana Darling


Age: 16


Gender: Female


Half Creature or Power: Creature


Animal Type/Power: Serval (an African wildcat, known for it's ability to jump to great heights in order to catch birds in mid-flight while hunting). Because of her serval DNA Deliana's eyes are golden with slit pupils, like other felines. She has a long tail striped golden and black and tipped with a black tuft. Her nails are sharper than average and are completely retractable and she cannot ingest most grains. As a consequence of her serval DNA Deliana can leap quite heigh and has excellent balance.


Backstory: Deliana was born to a mother very happy to finally have a little girl, and a father proud to have put another life into the world. Her brother was away, being driven to the hospital by a family friend as quickly as he could from school, which he had been made to stay at all day despite his mother going into labour. When he got there, he'd be surprised and delighted at a much younger sister, having grown past the age where an only child must automatically hate any addition to the family. At fourteen, he saw her more as his charge to protect then his shitty kid sister he had to take care of when his parents were at work. For a few years the family was quite happy, but about five years in Deliana's father passed away without warning. Unable to afford an autopsy, they never did find out what caused it, and his loss deeply shook what had once been a quite happy family. Deliana's brother Seamus, now aged nineteen, took off shortly after. Determined to make his own way in the world and not burden his mother any more, he promised to write once he found a place for himself, but never did. A year and a half later, a severe illness took Deliana's mother from her, the aged woman likely too tired from a grief she tried never to show in front of her children to fight it off. With her passing Deliana was left with no immediate family she could contact, and nothing to hold onto of her families other than her stuffed bear, lovingly named Greenbear despite his bright orange colouring.


Rather then be taken to an orphanage or put into foster care, Deliana hid away near their home, insisting that she'd stay there until her brother came back to take care of her. Unfortunately, at seven she really had no idea what she was doing when she tried to send him letters, or even where to send them, and since she didn't know to post a return address not one of them was even able to be sent back to her as undeliverable. Alone and half starved, Deliana tried to resort to pick pocketing, which she was utterly terrible at. Luckily for her, the first person she tried it on was a man named Kalvin Silverberg. Instead of taking her in to the authorities he took her home and offered her a full meal and a bath. After talking to her a while and learning that she had no parents (and that she staunchly refused to be taken away for someone else to care for) he told her she could come to him any time she needed food or shelter.


After several weeks of her returning night after night, Deliana began to stay permanently with Kalvin, and by the time she accidentally called him "daddy" while nodding off it was already too late to go back. They were family now, even if not by blood, and Kalvin unofficially adopted the orphaned girl, who would come to look at Kalvin with more love and recognition then she could honestly hold for the biological father she couldn't quite recall.


While living on top of a bar might not seem like the best upbringing for a child of seven, it suited Deliana perfectly. She quickly became a feature at Kalvin's bar, coming home from school to be greeted by the patrons who were there for an early drink, and coming to see some of the more regular customers as a sort of extended family. Growing up in a male dominated environment, she gained herself a few unofficial big brothers who were quick to shut down any prying eyes of new customers who might care to look at her as she grew over the years. She also had the benefit of gaining an "uncle" and an "aunt" in the two employees under her father, and the sudden growth of her family of one plus bear to one plus bear plus dad plus aunt plus uncle plus bar was one she still feels truly blessed about.


From then on out her upbringing was both happy and secure, if a bit unconventional. She learned to belch louder than most guys at the bar when most girls were thinking about taking ballet, and once she was old enough to help she started helping out waitressing alongside Juliet before most kids were allowed to get a job (legal working age for people other than your parents being sixteen and all). Not to mention she could serve her friends any soda they had on tap from the super cool dispenser hose whenever they came over.


Unfortunately unoffical adoption does not count as legally binding, and raising a child in a bar isn't exactly considered good parenting. At ten Deliana was taken away by the state and moved into the orphanage as a matter of course. Kalvin was not able to gain custody.


Personality: Deliana is, generally speaking, a fairly friendly and cheerful sort of girl. She sees no point in clinging to past bad experiences, and instead tries to push herself forward into the future with a bright outlook on life. When her biological passed when she was very little and her mother carried on after a short period of grieving as if life was much the same, Deliana asked her why. The answer she got would be the basis of her world view for years to come. Her mother told her, "If you dwell on things that hurt you or make you sad you'll spend your life making yourself sadder and more hurt by the minute, and someday you won't be able to remember what being happy feels like. But if you hold onto the good things, you'll make every step of your life one with bounce in it, and you'll carry yourself farther then you ever could if you were held down by misery." It's probably an embellished version, by now, given that Deliana barely remembers her mother at all, but the message was clear, and as the only part of her family she could keep with her (aside from Greenbear, of course) she's held onto it like a life preserver, and it's really helped her through the darker moments of her childhood before her dad, Kalvin, found her.


She tries to keep optimistic through all things, but it's not possible to be happy all the time, and trying would be foolish. Since she tries not to be sad or angry or the like for prolonged periods of time, she's decided that it's best to let her more negative emotions run their course passionately when they come up, so that they won't linger unfinished after the event is passed. Occasionally people see her as childish because of how freely she lets her emotions range, but it helps her stay more content and contained as a person if she lets them run the gauntlet when she feels the need to let loose.


She's also sometimes seen as childish due to her impulsiveness. She's just turned sixteen and she still likes to slide down the bannister - and will without any thought for what someone else might think. While she should be "acting her age" and showing some sense of decorum, she has no problem climbing a tree out in front of the school without worrying about the fact that she's wearing a skirt - she very rarely thinks before she acts when she sees something she wants to try or that she figures might be fun. And if she does pause to think, the thought is usually just, 'I've gotta try that!'


She's quite an ambitious little thing, and can be at times very competitive, a trait she finally found an outlet for in climbing. She's always been a bit of a spider monkey, with a tendency to go up rather than forward if the option arose, and when it became apparent that she'd need a sport to let out all of the energy she seemed to charge up during the school day, climbing was the obvious decision. Given that she lives in a rather urban area, she's more used to rock walls then free climbing and bouldering, or even just plain out door belaying. As such, she's started taking part in her local gyms competition climbing events - race events to reach the top before your opponent. It's hands down her favourite sport, and she thrills at the chance to go head to head with someone at the thing she's best at.


Next to climbing, her favourite activity is reading, and she can often be found up in a tree or on top of her dresser with a book. She just feels more at home high up, and once she's in her own up above world she quite loves to dive into a world of someone else's creation as well.


Etc: (I'll add more as needed in the future)


Appearance: (please note that she also has the noted adaptations mentioned in her animal section, and her eyes are golden in colour and bear slitted pupils instead of round ones)
