[Viper]

Name- Belvedere Bello
Nickname- Friends and fans call him just Bell
Age- 16
Home Country- France
Class- Diamond
Classes- Homeroom. Ballet, Personal Education, Design and Tailoring. Lunch. English Writing and Composition, Chemistry, Biology.

Appearance Description- Although he is clearly male, depending on what he wears and what he does with his hair/makeup, he could pass for a female. For example, he has toned muscles but his hair is long and styled, his blue eyes large with long lashes. So he is semi androgynous in appearance. Being in the uniforms does not help very much because girls and boys have the same outfit, but thankfully for him there are few enough Diamonds that everyone knows who he is. If they did not know him by his appearance they would know by his model like walk which somehow turns even the uniform into something that looks ready for the runway. In fact, no matter how normal his clothing is (leather jacket and dark jeans for example) he looks ready for a photo shoot. The most he ever adds to his uniform to personalize it is sunglasses, his appearance does the rest.

First Class- Model
Description- If there are two things a First Class Model has, it is beauty and grace. Bell has the talent of simply looking attractive to the eye thanks to genetics, practice, and exercise. He knows what he looks good in, how to make himself look better through poses and lighting, but above all he simply understands what society thinks if beautiful. As for grace, his balance is remarkable. He can wear high heels and get thrown onto a balance beam without warning and make it across with ease. And, if you could even call it a skill, Bell has little shame when it comes to his body. He can strip in public, get in intimate poses, and more without batting an eye. He is not too frazzled by chaos either, the backstage process broke him of that a long time ago.

Background and Personality- Bells family was nothing special, not in the world and not in appearance, so when their child was born with the face of an angel everyone was surprised. His modeling career started early for this reason, him acting as a baby model in only a handful of magazines so that his parents could get some spare cash. After that there was a few years of normal life for Bell but that stopped when his parents asked him to take part in a few photo shoots as a child. Since then, after the age of 7, Bell was a model. And now sixteen, he has been a model for more of his life than he was not... and it shows. Appearances and beauty matter far too much to Bell, the first time he got a zit he cried, any time he ruins clothing he freaks out, and at this point he fears growing up more than death because with age comes wrinkles. Unconsciously, Bell doesn't even have friends who are unattractive due to his obsession with beauty but he is willing to give makeovers to those he unconsciously deems less pretty. At the very least, this focus on appearances has given him an eye for style even if that eye never turns off.

Perhaps because he knows nothing else, Bell loves his job. If he is not in class or modeling in some form, he is training or practicing for it. He is dedicated to the craft thankfully because his parents, who never intended for this to go on so long or to overtake their sin, want their son to be happy. In fact, everyone wants Bell happy. From photographers, to coworkers, to fans, they all love him in one way or another. This is mainly because even off the stage, Bell is beautiful. There is a softness to him that is not often seen in teenage boys. He doesn't fight, he doesn't scream, he just stands there looking at you with eyes like the sky, listening to every word you have to say. A distant gaze here, a soft smile there, and the next thing you know Bell has a group of friends surrounding him. No one knows the expression he wears when he is alone though, without paparazzi or parents or friends around, but it’s not hard to imagine that beneath the soft, beautiful boy that he is, there is a more fragile and fractured being that only sees his worth when looking into a mirror.

Other-

• Unconsciously, Bell poses no matter what he is doing. Sitting, standing, or resting, he seems to position himself in positions awkward for daily people but beautiful to the eye. It takes you pointing it out for him to fully relax.
• Normally modeling his full time and school is part time. Drexel is the first time since the start of his career that the priorities are switched, and it is his second year here so he is still adjusting to the change.
• He still has a semi-heavy accent, never out of France long enough to lose it nor does he feel the need to.
• He is Vegan and has been since he hit double digits.

Name- Deacon Nikolaos
Nickname- Hermes, greek god of thieves
Age- 17
Home Country- Greece
Class- Diamond
Classes- Homeroom. Phys ed, Physics, World Languages. Lunch. Personal education, Computers, Biology.

Appearance Description- Deacon does not dress like a thief, meaning on an average day when he is not in the schools uniform or performing a large heist, he is wearing clothing that is clearly taken right off the racks but at different times, only later thrown together in a way that Deacon claims makes him look cool. Due to this, he tends to wear hipster-esque suits that are clearly not meant to be worn everyday, and if someone does wear them, it is with the intention of looking a bit old fashioned but bold. His red hair is always in a messy ponytail and no matter if he is at school or not, he wears gloves of some kind. So he stands out a bit, but he doesn't mind as long as he is not 'on the job'.

First Class- Thief
Description- If there is a lock, he can break it. If there are guards, he can find a hole in their patrols to get in and out without being seen. If he wants something, he will get it. It’s as simple as that. Speed and dexterity are Deacons specialty, helping him with everything from pickpocketing on the street to great heists in art museums. Also one of the skills that come with this talent is bravado, the ability to seem confident in all situations in order to fool the other party into thinking you are telling the truth or are supposed to be somewhere off limits. Finally, although Deacon cannot fight, he can dodge due to his ability to move quickly and perform low level parkour/acrobatics.

Background and Personality- His greatest accomplishment and pride is when he stole an active tank from a nearby military training facility. He got in the base, got in the tank, and proceeded to drive right out with it. He took it for a few spins around the nearby area, shooting once or twice by accident but thankfully not harming anything or anyone, and then drove it back to where he found it. After sneaking out once again he thought he was in the clear, he had avoided cameras, but unknown to him there were cameras in the tank too. When confronted he was given the choice, go to jail, work for the military in infiltration, or join St. Drexels. Naturally, he chose the school because not would they applaud his thefts, but they would encouraged him to continue his activities as long as the property is returned at the end of the day…. And most of the time it is. This is his first year at the school and, to students and teachers dismay, it is becoming apparent that the Headmasters habit of encouraging Hermes to indulge in his talent is making everyone poorer.

This is a prime example of who Deacon, who insists on being called Hermes, is. If he can do it, he is going to steal something even if he does not was or need it. It’s more about the thrill and the challenge than it is the money. He is the type of teen who will always do the opposite of what you ask or tell him to do, and the rules are only there to be broken in his mind so threatening him with jail doesn't frighten him. After all, Hermes has the skills to escape his cell with ease, and if he can’t do it, then it's a good challenge for him. This feeling of invincibility has turned Hermes into a cocky, but fun loving man who never steps down from a dare or challenge, will admit about his thefts if directly questioned, and above all, is looking out for himself. But it is not about being in the limelight, fame is not important to Deacon at all, what he cares about is knowing his own personal limits… and the limits of others. No one could stop him, not even his father or elder brother who both were low level criminals themselves and were never in the picture long enough to do more than tell Deacon that theft was just a means to an end, not something they wanted him to turn into a hobby/passion. Clearly, Deacon did not listen to them either.

Other- Doctors keep going back and forth on if Deacon is a true kleptomaniac or not. Since he has been showing a habit of thievery since a young age even without economic need, most say yes. Other say no because Deacon is aware of his acts and is capable of not doing it for months. Deacons personal opinion is that he is a functioning kleptomaniac.

He is still learned to speak English so he often phrases things formally or oddly. This also means that his accent is super heavy.

Spoiler: Family

Despite the career choice made by this family, they are very close even if it meant that Deacon spent a lot of time alone, raising and caring for himself while his father and brother were off doing jobs or in jail. They always come back, and when they are all home together, this family is as close as possible. The mother is not in the picture, neither sons know who their mother was or even if they had the same mother, and since both sons took after their father in appearance it makes it near impossible to figure it out on their own.

Father- Deacon calls him Baba but his real name is Theron. He is younger than most fathers, implying that he had kids early. Thankfully, it does not impact their relationship negatively, but this is mainly because Theron is rather care free and raised his kids without rules, which made them respect his authority in the rare cases that he did give instructions. Since he truly loves his family and he is a criminal, Theron has taken great pains not to show his dark side to either of his kids. He is happy to take Deacon under his wing or send Deacon for more schooling, whatever his son wants Theron will support him and from the way it is looking, Deacon is going to follow in his fathers footsteps to a life of crime.

Brother- Anatole is his name and he is about 6 years older than Deacon. He is a bit perverted, always trying to nosy in on Deacons love life or, if his younger brother is not interested, he is always willing to jump in himself. He encourages Deacon not to become a criminal more so than their father, but it is not in the families nature to push so all he does it encourage Deacon to stay in school and, if Deacon insists on doing crime, then he makes sure his little brother is as safe and protected as possible.

 

[Viper]

Name- Kazimir Volya
Nickname- None
Age- 16
Home Country- Russia
Class- Diamond
Classes- Homeroom. Biology, History, Design. Lunch. Woodworks, Personal Education, Geometry.

Appearance Description- Kazimir is a gentle looking, small boy who is too pale and lanky to look healthy. But, with his shoulder length black hair that he never puts up, he manages to look well mannered even at first glance. He wears suits most of the time, seems to always have his hands locked together in order to stop them from fidgeting, and normally he has a polite smile on his face. In fact, he always has the same expression, which can become uncomfortable when he starts making very dynamic voices that you cannot tell came from him. He tends not to look at people when talking to them, always staring off into the distance or at the least not at peoples eyes. He does not personalize his uniform at all, preferring to keep the formal appearance the school wants.

First Class- Puppeteer
Description- His abilities include having skilled hands, able to manipulate strings and/or the puppet without effort. But he can also craft his own puppets, long ago having grown tired of store bought ones and so now makes them himself to fit his needs. Furthermore, he can make many dynamic voices that range from feminine to hellish… all without moving his lips. He can throw these voices too so it is not uncommon to catch him having a conversation with himself to practice the skill. Where most puppeteers use their craft as a comedy show, Kazimir uses it to tell stories instead. Some he wrote, most he found elsewhere, and on occasion if the First Class Writer makes something that he likes then he will perform that. His preferences tend to lean towards the dark, ominous, side but they are as good as any stage play so people still come.

Background and Personality- His family had low hopes for him, that’s the truth of it. They were not around as much as they should have been and when they were around they tended to favor his four other siblings over him partially because he was the middle child. Like most children, he wanted attention, and also like many kids in order to get that attention he started to rebel. Most would not expect it based on how well tempered and well spoken he was in public, but behind closed doors Kazimir was a monster to his family, his favorite hobby being mocking them. This is how he started his puppeteering talent, by replicating his family's voices so that he could mock them and/or get the others into fights by pretending to be a different sibling over the phone. The other half of the time, he would care for his younger siblings or entertain the elder ones by reading them stories with voices or replicating television shows.

Now that Kazimir is older, the meaner half of him has dimmed a bit. It likely has to do with his puppeteering hobby because when he pretends to be the puppet, or at least voice them, he can get out any of his bitter feelings without making it personal. Still, considering his composed appearance that makes him look like a pushover, whenever he flips the switch and starts to be his puppets, people are always shocked by the words that come out of his mouth… especially since most of the time what he says through his puppets is actually what his honest feelings are (not that he will admit that). His family was more than happy to send Kazimir to Drexel two years ago, making this his third year, and although he has found where he fits in at this school, Kazimir still remains more or less in solitude.

Other-

• None of his puppets are the same. If one breaks he will start from scratch, using completely different appearances and materials, never even using the same voice twice.
• Excluding a few words and phrases, he does not have an accent due to his vocal talents.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Name- Leonardo Morse
Nickname- Leo
Age- 17
Home Country- America
Class- Coal
Classes- Homeroom. Public Speaking, Physics, Independent Study. Lunch. English Writing, World History, Geometry.

Appearance Description- Typically he is seen in his uniform, even on days that he is not attending classes, but if not then it is dark, loose clothing like hoodies. Anything that he can wear for a long time and stain without feeling guilty. And you can bet that whatever he is wearing has some sort of paint dried on it, some fresh and some not. His hands are the same way, crusted with paint of varying colors due to how much time he spends on his craft. His hair, which is brown and unruly, always spikes up in the back and falls over his face no matter how much gel or the like is added so he has given up on fighting both. Besides, it suits him. Furthermore, his face always tends to be in a scowl. It gets especially bad when he is talking to a Diamond or focusing on a painting, the glare he gives them could kill.

First Class- None, trying to become the First Class Painter though.
Description- The First Class Painter can paint anything on any canvas with seemingly any tool, brush, knife, or otherwise. They are masters of the brush with a steady hand, an imagination, and the ability to replicate anything people describe or they see. They can turn disasters into masterpieces.

Background and Personality- Leo’s parents are both artists, in fact not only are they artists, but Leo’s mother was the First Class Painter over a decade ago which was where she met Leo’s father, who was the First Class Sculptor at the same time. So naturally, Leo is expected to follow in their footsteps. Although they are not openly pressuring him, it is in their words and their gazes that they expect him to be better and are disappointed that he is not. It is not uncommon for them to praise other painters and say, “Oh you should have done that, Leonardo!” or “If you practice you will be First Class in no time!”. But they are not the only ones pressuring him to do better, other people and himself that feel that it is his responsibility to make it to the top too.

Only unfortunately for Leo, he has not been able to do that no matter how hard he tries. He has made it to the top 10 painters in the world but not First Class, and to Leo, that impressive victory is nothing. He has been bitter about this for a long time, especially since he has been a student at Drexels since freshman year and still has not become a Diamond yet. Many people blame his temper for this failure, that no artist can become a master when full of rage, but people fail to realize that the reason he is always so angry is because he cares constantly about his work. It is his passion and to not be recognized for it (or at least by those who matter) is maddening. For this reason, despite the fact that Leo hates the current First Class Painter, he has attempted to swallow his pride and is now working for Derek in the hopes of learning his skills and/or his rivals weaknesses. He will be a Diamond one day no matter the cost he has to pay.

Other-

• Leo can sculpt too. It’s not on the same level as his paintings but he can do it.

artist: etidekailo​

Name: Avery Joyce Norton

Also known by her stage name AveN​

Age: 17
Class: Diamond
Home Country: Canada
Appearance: Avery is 5'7" and weighs 132 lbs. The young musician carries herself with a palpable confidence, and often strives to be the center of attention by simply being present. Her hair is naturally light blonde, making it easy to keep up with whichever is the latest hair-dyeing trend and experiment with styles of her own. She takes great pride in her looks and takes care of herself with a healthy diet and exercise routine. Unsurprisingly, she also makes an effort to ensure her makeup, hair, and clothes are always on point as well. While she is at school and stuck in her uniform, she typically accessorizes with a variety of bracelets, rings, earrings, and headbands. When she is able to wear what she wants, Avery's wardrobe is extremely varied; although her signature looks are elegant and classy, she enjoys experimenting with a multitude of different styles.

First Class: Singer
Description: Avery's obvious claim to fame is her singing voice; in particular, she has received praise for her nearly four-octave vocal range, as well as her original songwriting and composition. Lately she has also received attention for her versatility: while most of her songs have been poppy earworms or grandiose ballads, she has begun to branch out and dabble in other genres such as soul, rock, and hip hop. In other words, she has a great sense of creativity that is often and easily applied in all aspects of life. Her natural charisma is another aspect of her talent that has contributed both to her personal and professional success.

Background and Personality: Avery was born to an average couple in an average town in British Columbia. From an early age, she latched onto her father's interest in music and began to sing the songs she heard 24/7, much to the dismay of her parents. However, they recognized her passion and enrolled her in singing lessons when she was 6 years old, where she demonstrated an amount of raw talent that impressed her instructor. From there, she cultivated her abilities and garnered attention by starring in school productions and entering in talent shows. Once in her early teens, she began to write her own music and post the final products on YouTube, where her popularity truly began to take off. Encouraged by her online followers, instructors, and her parents, she continued to learn and develop as a singer and songwriter. Just as she turned 15, she was contacted by an independent record label and put out her first studio album within the year. Following her professional debut, she received an invitation to complete her high school education at St. Drexel International Academy. Avery eagerly accepted the offer, seeing as she would have further opportunities to further her skills and career in the States. Since then, she has studied at the school for two years.

Ever since she was young, Avery has always been a bubbly, outgoing girl. She loves to meet new people and enjoys making conversation with others - although these days, she is much more selective about who she decides to chat with. She has a cheery, positive attitude that has made her well-liked by most of her peers; this, in combination with her recent fame, has propelled her to be one of the "popular girls" at St. Drexel. Needless to say, she has developed confidence to spare - perhaps even in excess. Avery thinks very highly of herself and has begun to judge and look down upon others, especially being a Diamond at the school. While she will never publicly speak poorly about someone, she has no qualms about talking about someone behind their back and rumour-mongering as she so desires. In addition to this, she has become quite self-centered: the more Avery focuses on her career, the more she cares (and talks) only about herself. Another clue that she is well on her way to becoming a diva is a growing sense of entitlement - she will often ask favours of people out of the blue, expecting them to yield to her wishes, and has been growing resentful of those who deny her demands.

Other: Avery is also a good dancer and has created choreographs to several of her original songs. Additionally, she can play the piano and guitar with notable proficiency as well.
Her phone is pretty much glued to her hand at every free moment she has. She is constantly taking selfies, photos of food and friends, tweeting, and posting on her Instagram and Snapchat.

artist: xiu jiayihuizi
​

Name: Raya Volkov
Age: 17
Class: Diamond
Home Country: Bulgaria
Appearance: Raya stands at 5'3" and weighs 124lbs. She has a slim, toned build that is often hidden by loose, relaxed, boyish clothing. She has somewhat of an intimidating appearance, thanks to a chronic case of resting bitch face and - unsurprisingly - the scars that peek out from beneath an eyepatch. Underneath it, the scars run in three strokes up to her eyebrow. She is legally blind in her right eye, although she can see a small degree of her visual field. Her hair is almost always in a single braid pulled over one shoulder, unless she is at the shooting range where she will pull it into a high ponytail instead.

First Class: Sharpshooter
Description: Raya, even with her partial blindness, has highly accurate aim even at long distances and under difficult conditions. Moreover, she is able to perform consistently with a variety of firearms, as well as bows and arrows. As such, she is very familiar with a number of different types of guns and is comfortable with all aspects of use and maintenance. Thanks to several years of practice and competition, she has developed the ability to remain intensely calm and focused even in high stress situations. Her dexterity is impressive as well: she is good with her hands, and every movement she makes carries a sense of graceful precision.

Background and Personality: Raya's mother passed away when she was 3 years old in a car accident, leaving her father to take care of her. After her death they moved to rural Bulgaria to her grandparents' farm, where her father began to make a living in the hunting industry. Growing up, Raya was a quiet, gentle child who had only a few friends... of the human variety, anyway. In contrast with her father's job, she loved animals and often helped care for them around the farm. Eventually, once she grew a little older, her father took her out on hunting trips and taught her his trade. While the experience was quite awful for young Raya, she did not wish to displease her father who worked tirelessly to support herself and her grandparents. So, when she was 13 and he began to teach her how to use a gun, she did not protest and obediently did as she was told. After a few years, it became apparent that she was an impressive shooter, so her father eventually brought her to try out for various competitions in the area. Several victories later, judges began to encourage her to try out for the upcoming Olympics. Although she had no innate desire to go, she felt it would be beneficial to her family, so she tried out and qualified.

Throughout the years, Raya usually kept to herself and her small circle of friends; however, she was intermittently bullied by a select group of girls. One day, a few months before the Olympics, they cornered her and ruthlessly assaulted her. Their goal was to blind her by attacking her eyes with a knife, but they were only able to injure one of them before a passerby broke things up. While a couple of weeks in hospital healed the major injuries, she would never regain full sight in her right eye. Despite being distressed and distraught, Raya - after much internal turmoil - eventually started training again. When it came time to compete, she noticed the other competitors wearing various eyegear that covered one eye and wondered if, in some way, fate was at work. At the end of it all, she walked away with a silver medal and fifteen minutes of fame thanks to her age and injury. By the time she got home she received an invitation to St. Drexel Academy, which was credited to her performance despite her recent disability. Seeing no reason to turn down a fresh start at school, she accepted the offer and moved overseas, where she has been at the school for one year.

Despite the ups and downs in her life, Raya's personality has remained relatively the same over the years. In stark contrast to her steely visage, she is a kind young woman who is always willing to help others whenever she can. Generally speaking, she is quite the people pleaser and will go to great lengths to ensure those around her are happy, even at her own expense. Thus, as one can imagine, she is a hard-working girl with a strong resolve towards accomplishing all tasks she commits herself to. With that said, Raya only has a handful of people she is really close to. While she enjoys making friends, her shy, soft-spoken nature make it difficult for her to approach people and her aloof appearance deters most people from coming to her first. But, Raya's small social circle doesn't bother her - in fact, not many things do. She is incredibly easy-going, so much that it is to the point of being passive. Raya has been called a doormat many times throughout her life and frankly, it is accurate: her path is the one of least resistance. She never stands up for herself partly for this reason, but also because she is simply a timid girl afraid of confrontation. Not only that, but there are times where she doesn't even know she is being taken advantage of. Growing up in the countryside with only a few non-family members she regularly spoke to made Raya a fairly sheltered, naive girl.

Other: After her experience before, during, and after the Olympics, Raya strongly believes in fate and destiny.
In addition to being a huge animal-lover, some of Raya's true hobbies and interests include cooking, baking, reading, knitting, astrology, and tarot reading.
She learned some English over the years from her grandparents, who had a rudimentary understanding, and has become relatively fluent since starting at St. Drexel.

Name: Jae-seong Won

He tells people who have difficult with his name to call him Jason​

Age: 16
Class: Coal
Home Country: South Korea
Appearance: Jae-seong is 5'11" and weighs 152 lbs. His eyesight is good enough so that he doesn't need glasses, but he always wears them anyway as his lenses filter the blue light from the screens he constantly stares at. It was just recently that he bleached his hair, but is pretty on the fence about whether to keep it.

First Class: Aiming for First Class Gamer
Description: First Class Gamers are not only professionals, but legends that have helped shape the growing world of eSports. To earn such a title, one must have great mechanical skill - i.e., reflexes, aim, and timing - as well as stamina, a strategic mind, and good communicative abilities. They can also perform at a top-tier level in different types of competitive games from FPS to good old fashioned fighting games.

Background and Personality: Jae-seong's parents are both teachers - his father taught biology courses in university, while his mother worked with elementary school children. During the summers he would usually stay with his relatives in America while his parents went off and did missionary work. While in the States he had two cousins his age to play with every day. As he and his cousins grew older, they started to play video games together - and that is where Jae-seong got hooked. Not only were they fun, but he was good at them. This enjoyment of games remained with him when he returned to Korea, and quickly turned into an obsession. But he was not just interested in playing them, or just being good... Jae-seong wanted to be the best. Once his friends at school told him about eSports pros, he knew he wanted to be one, too. And so, as he grew older he spent less time on school and more time on the computer. Naturally, his academic parents greatly disapproved of this and began to limit his time on the Internet. However, it reached a point where they simply had to take everything away.

But that was not enough for Jae-seong. He ran away from home and jumped from one Internet cafe to the next for a few days until one owner called the police to take him back to his parents. When he was back at home his parents were - much to his surprise - not upset. Instead, they had an open, honest talk with him and his goals. At the end of it they made a deal: they would enroll him into St. Drexel International Academy, and if he could become a First Class Gamer there then they would support him in becoming a professional gamer. But if he couldn't accomplish that by the end of graduation, he would return to Korea, go to university, and enter the traditional workforce. Jae-seong has been working towards his goal at St. Drexel for two years so far, but to no avail... yet.

The hallmark of Jae-seong's personality is his stubbornness. Once he has decided on something, it takes a tremendous effort to change his mind. His mother tends to say that he has one direction and one speed: forward and fast. He has a seemingly endless source energy and tends to be impatient in all aspects of life other than gaming. He also has a tendency to get tunnel vision, and sometimes has difficulty seeing the big picture instead of focusing on the smaller things. Often, these individual character flaws culminate into one larger issue: Jae-seong is an impulsive boy and is prone to making rash decisions. However, he carries an optimism and positive attitude that makes it easy for him to deal with any mishaps that result from his actions. He is also a bit of a jokester, and tends to fall back on humour and messing around to cope when things don't go quite the way he anticipated.

Other: Jae-seong's English is quite good, thanks to his time spent in America as a child.
His preferred game to compete in is CS:GO, and he occasionally streams on Twitch.

NPCS
​

Name: Altmann Engelhart
Age: 54
Occupation: Headmaster of St. Drexel International Academy
Headmaster Engelhart is a tall, ebony-skinned man who stands at 6'3" and weighs 155 lbs. His curly black hair is kept short and well-groomed at all times, as with the rest of his appearance. He is never seen wearing anything other than a crisply ironed suit, usually black or some shade of blue or grey.

There is little known about Altmann Engelhart except that he was born and raised in Germany with an extensive career in education that included being a tutor to children in the upper echelons of society. This year marks a full decade since he took over as Headmaster of the prestigious St. Drexel International Academy. Many tend to compare him to a military sargent: he is stern, uncompromising, and commands respect simply by being present in the room. His strict, no-nonsense methodology makes most students - and faculty - somewhat afraid of him. But his way of operating has produced results: the school has enjoyed more recognition, sponsorship, and revenue from its endeavours each year that he has been at the helm.

But what mostly unnerves people is how difficult it is to tell what is behind his cold, calculating gaze. Altmann always says exactly what he intends to, and never gives hints as to what is truly on his mind.

artist: namikolo
​

Name: Erik Duvall
Age: 18
First Class: Triathlete
Position: Student Council President
Erik is one of those students who seems to have it all: he's smart, athletic, charismatic, and good-looking to boot. He seems to excel in every aspect of his school life from his friends to his extracurricular activities. But is generally known that Erik carries a strict, rigid way of thinking beneath his bright, friendly, and out-going exterior. And according to some of the most discreetly discussed rumours around the school, he apparently has next to no empathy for others and carries some surprisingly twisted beliefs.

artist: junka-sakura​

Name: Hyun-suk Kim
Age: 14
First Class: Gamer
Hyun-suk is often nicknamed "The Treasure of Gaming". He is gifted with amazing base skills such as aiming, positioning, and game sense, and is able to apply them to just about everything he has ever played - even games he has just picked up. But what really earns him this nickname is his positive attitude that is seemingly contagious, as nearly no one who has played with him has ever gotten upset or angry. His shy, humble attitude is quite rare with people of his skill level, which has added to his popularity. However, he is quite naive, gullible, and easily influenced - for better or for worse.

 

[Viper]

Name: Derek Aldrich
Age: 18
First Class: Painter

Derek lived in the UK his entire life and is known around school for being a very lazy but naturally talented artist. Also, he is known for being a bit of a jerk, the type to casually shrug and not apologize if someone calls him out on his near blatant rudeness for his fellow students. This becomes especially true for when he deals with the Coals who he does think he is better than. It is not uncommon for him to boss them around, take advantage of those who want to learn from him, and pick a handful of them to be his personal assistants/servants. For example, he gets them to do his homework and carry his belongings in return for occasionally giving them a painting tip. Derek is the prime example of why Diamonds are often hated and considered pompous, self centered teens. Currently his 'prize' assistant is Leo, mainly because Derek likes to watch the boy try and not talk back when given Derek's ridiculous orders.

Nathan "Nat" Luther

First Class Journalist and Male Class Rep

A bit distant at first glance, cold and factual, but a good guy at heart. He gets embarrassed easily when it comes to people flirting with him or his girlfriend (Ari) talking about their relationship, making him blush and loose the distant exterior he often has. He has shown to have a soft spot for Avery due to interviewing her a few times in the past, but he is not the type to cheat, so as long as he is with Ari he never returns anyone's attempts at flirtation. Also, his hands are almost already writing down what he sees and more often than not, he keeps his eyes on the paper yet somehow he still notices physical habits and expressions.

Ari Kuraiinu

First Class Chef and Female Class Rep

Dark blue hair and glasses, this girl is loud, hyper, and possessive over her boyfriend of two years, Nathan. Due to this, she is not a fan of Avery due to that girls habit of flirting with Nathan and the fact that Nathan always reacts to her flirting too. She and her boyfriend have been class reps for two years now and it was actually through this position that they met so she values her job a lot. She is always bringing in food, some normal and others more experimental, for the class to try. Finally, she values Drexel greatly and is always spouting off that it is their job as Diamonds to make the school look good, so she constantly comes up with 'exercises' to help make the Diamond students under her care better at being First Class.
