So when Alex found out about her powers at the age on 10 and Jason was there to see, he promised to make sure no one would ever find out and send her away to a boarding school, thus seperating them. When they were old enough to drive, the both of them go into street racing.

When the police came after she was taken to the hospital, both of them told the police and their parents that it was simple car accident on the street, but they figured out that she used telekineseis to save Jason, (Though they thought the ability came at the exact moment, not thinkign she had been hiding it) and sent her to the Academy after she recovered.

When Alex crashed about four years later, and he realized that Alex was going to be sent away to an Academy, he purposly hit a metal table that was sitting next to the hospital bed (Instead of just telling because he didn't want his parents to find out he was hidding his power for years) His parents and the police, after witnessing the action, decided to send him to an Academy with Alex after she recovered.

She is quiet and works better behind the scenes of school's operations, but her chilling presence is to intense to really ignore. Ms. Wong is also an officiator of the Briarwood Challenge.

Shortly after his dismissal, he was contacted by Briarwood Academy for an opening position. This year he works there not as a trainer, but as the new Head Officiator of the Briarwood Challenge.
 
Hey, I know the rp started, but I was wondering if you would still accept new characters? This sounds awesome, and after reading what you guys wrote yesterday I love all the characters and their dynamics as a group of individuals.


I'm going to submit a character anyway... but if i can't join that's totally cool, I understand.


Name: Isaac Anderson


Gender: Male


Age +14: 16


Ability: Invisibility, the ability to be completely silent while invisible.


Appearance(Picture or description, but no anime): 5'10 and 135 pounds. He is skinny, but, with quite a bit of sinewy muscle. He is ruggedly handsome with unruly black hair that goes down to his shoulders, and he suffers from a condition known as heterochromia, meaning he has two different eye colours ( the left one is brown, and the right is a startling, pale blue. )


Background (what landed you in Briarwood): Isaac's father was a thief, and a damn good one at that; by the time Isaac was born, his father, Blair, had amassed a fortune through jewel theft, credit card fraud, and other means. Isaac grew up almost exclusively in his family's English manor, raised by a his mother (who was, quite amusingly, his father's maid). At the age of six, Isaac accidentally discovered his invisibility powers... and disappeared for 6 months before he figured out how to disable them. Once he was found, his father began training him, realizing how useful the power to become invisible might be for a thief.


After 10 years of performing robberies and burglaries with his father all around the world, Isaac and Blair were caught, while attempting their biggest heist yet... the robbery of Briarwood Academy. Despite being caught red handed, the two were not thrown in prison, after striking a deal with the principal of the school: for the privilege of keeping their freedom, Blair would have to "donate" a large sum of his wealth to the school, and Isaac would have to attend the academy in the fall.



Other: Isaac is egotistical, self centered, arrogant, and rather posh. However, he can be charming, and of course possesses the famed British accent.

I want to join too, if that's alright.


Name: Christopher Robertson






Gender: Male





Age +14: 16





Ability: Ability to create illusions, and can control/influence animals.





Appearance(Picture or description, but no anime): A very tall boy for his age. He looks rather weak but has a challenging look. Despite his weak appearance, he still manages to have quite a large presence. He has short dark hair and near-black eyes.





Background (what landed you in Briarwood): Christopher grew up as what you would call a troublemaker. Although he wasn't a bully, and didn't go around beating people up, he still liked to cause trouble with what he called 'Pranks'. He would make people hear sounds that weren't actually there, sometimes making them jump or yell. He would make the teacher hear voices that didn't exist. This was all obviously harmless fun, but soon Christopher realised that he could do more than make sounds. He could make people see things that weren't there. He tried this several times on the teacher, each time making the illusions more and more sinister. One day, he eventually drove the teacher to tears when he made her see... something. Nobody knows exactly what she saw, not even Christopher. He realised that his powers were growing out of control, and things were appearing that he had not meant to happen. He went home, feeling extremely guilty. Driven by guilt, he told his parents what had been happening. After discussing it for a while, his parents decided that the academy was the best option.


Other: Sometimes cannot control his power

Name: Yoru


Gender: Female


Age: 17


Ability: Wind manipulation (lol all elements!)


Appearance: I have gotten permission....


View attachment 5899


Background: Yoru lived in a town where it never was windy one day, when Yoru waved her arm and said, "Kaze" it started to be very windy. Her mother was Japanese and realized she had said, "Wind." and was very shocked at the affects. Yoru's mother experimented and told her to say "Ikigire" which mean't small wind. The air seemed to have a small gust in the air. Her mother decided it was best for her to go to Briarwood.


Other: When she gets angry a storm might begin to stir. So usually, Yoru will show no emotions at all. If she is sad it begins to become foggy. So Yoru keeps her emotions all bottled up. She doesn't need to say the commands anymore, she just uses her mind, she will imagine what she wants and it appears.
