From the tech geniuses, to aliens, to literal wizards, we can handle anything you throw at us. Well, maybe not the wizards. But you'll just have to wait and see for that one.

I'll know the way back if you know the way,
basics.

name : Lilith Crowe
age : 17 (junior)
gender : female
sexuality : pansexual
faceclaim : Summer Sodorstrom

powers.

demonic magic : Lilith can instinctively use magic, calling upon the power of the nether realms for a variety of effects, such as conjuring elements, moving and transforming objects and people, teleporting, and manipulating emotions and memories. But she can't heal anyone or protect them directly.
mesmerizing presence : People are drawn to like her, whether in a romantic, sexual or platonic sense. She usually has no trouble convincing people to do what she wants. But she doesn't know how to turn this power off, or even if it's possible to turn off, so it causes much unwanted attention.
pathifery : Sometimes, reality will just twist itself according to Lilith's emotions. If she's hungry, an apple might appear on a nearby table. If someone is talking too much, their lips might be sewn shut. This is effectively a part of her magic that she has no control over, and it can definitely endanger herself or those around her.
immortality : As a half-demon, Lilith won't age, and she isn't usually affected by things like disease, but she can be hurt almost as easily as a normal human. Her powers are weakened by silver.

personality.

For someone who's technically a princess of hell, Lilith is surprisingly sweet and kind. Though she's pretty outgoing socially, she's also reluctant to give any personal details, which can make her come across as mysterious. She's also very curious about the superhero world, and fairly naive, since her mother sheltered her from anything and everything involving it. She'll be prone to using her powers for enjoyment, believing that they can be kept under control here even if they really can't. Although excited to learn about her powers, she's anxious about actually becoming a superhero, but she won't let on about that.

biography.

Lilith is the daughter of an evil sorcerer and cult leader called Augustus Crowe, who was responsible for a series of murders and ritual sacrifices throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. Already very formidable through the study of the dark arts, he desired ever more power, and sacrificed a thousand innocents to Asmodeus, demon prince of temptation, wishing that the demon's magical power would be imbued within his blood. The demon obliged, but Augustus instantly boiled from within, unable to contain the power. But the power was also transferred down the Crowe bloodline to his then-unborn daughter, Lilith, who was able to grow up with her magic and, you know, not get destroyed by it. She's still having trouble keeping that power under control, though.

Lilith grew up with her mother Christine, who only stayed with Augustus due to a mind-controlling ring he placed on her. Christine was and still is incredibly fearful of magic, and raised her daughter in a sheltered household in rural Connecticut. When she reached adolescence, Lilith became interested in becoming a superhero, but her mother always shut it down, saying that her powers were born out of blood and could only be used for evil. Lilith was homeschooled until last year, when her mother reluctantly allowed her to attend the local high school. It was there that Lilith developed a healthy sense of teenage rebellion, practicing her magic in secret and using it to get ahead in classes, hex rivals, and attract boys and girls she was interested in. Her mother grew increasingly upset and worried, and by now they've decided to separate for a while, sending Lilith to a boarding school for superhumans. Before leaving, her mother made her promise that she would go to the school to learn to keep her powers under control, and nothing else. She reluctantly obliged, knowing that that wasn't what Tempest is about.
But if you are, I am quite alright hiding today.

Face Claim: Dayana Crunk
Name: Nathania Demerest
Age: 18/Junior
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Asexual

Powers/Abilities: Djinn Physiology
Among the host of abilities granted by her heritage, the most prominent is Nathania's ability to grant the wishes of mortals. This ability is not absolute however as she is unable to perform true resurrections or direct control of another's free will, though she is able to veto wishes and possesses full control of what constitutes a wish and how it is granted.

Personality: A free-spirited, wild, and chaotic girl, displaying a great deal of cunning, wit, and creativity. She can be somewhat an impulsive trouble maker at times with a playful curiosity towards mortal problems, though unlike many of her kin she also holds a strong sense of karmic justices and no direct malice. This does not stop from being unintentionally causing greater issues than intended, however.

Biography: Once, in a time before time, God breathed life into the universe. And the light gave birth to Angels. And the earth gave birth to Man. And the fire gave birth to the Djinn, creatures condemned to dwell in the void between the worlds. Nathania is one of such beings, a fledgling Djinn granted the ability to exist within the material plane and her freedom through her own trickery. She now exists as a somewhat chaotic force for mostly good.

THE ARCHER
Name: Amy Wyn Finchley
Age (14-19)/Class: 18 (I don't know how the American school system works so I haven't put in a class)
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Asexual, aromantic
Nationality: half Welsh, half alien
Face claim: Emily Rudd
POWERS AND ABILITIES:
Alien physiology: Being half alien Amy has inherited a few small alien traits, her father's race are remarkably similar to humans in terms of physical appearance and a distinct lack of any powers that could be considered 'superhuman'. When it comes to healing and getting injured, Amy is just like any other human in that regard. She can however see in the dark and her body only requires four or five hours of sleep a night (useful for sneaking out for vigilante related activities).

Archery: Amy is a highly proficient archer, she inherited both her parents archery equipment. Her prefered bows have been custom-designed to be optimum for her body size and arm length. ten draw strength of the bows is deceptively large. Her accuracy is phenomenal, she can fire multiple arrows in quick succession, hit multiple targets within the space of a couple of seconds and hit small targets at the greatest of distances. This accuracy is not limited to arrows, she has an instinctive understanding of weight, velocity and flight paths and as a result can hit almost any target with almost any throwable object from both still standing and moving positions. She can also calculate how an object may rebound off another.

Kickboxing: Amy took up kickboxing at age thirteen and has climbed up through the various belts in the years since. She fights competitively and has won a number of medals, but rarely choses to go further than state level. She also uses her skills in less legal ways. Amy is an adaptive fighter, switching between offensive and defensive stances, though she prefers to take an offensive stance, pummeling enemies with blows, not giving them a chance, or a window of opportunity to retaliate.

PERSONALITY
With her black painted fingernails, dark hair, fingerless leather gloves and general grunge style you could mistake her for some kind of loner goth type, but Amy isn't like that. She's not the type of girl to hang around with a large group of popular kids, preferring a smaller group of close friends who she'd trust with her life. She's fiercely loyal to those she likes, the kind of friend who'd help you hide a body if things went bad. She speaks with a prominent Welsh accent, having spent most of her life in Wales.

Amy is a very rough around the edges kind of person. Her blunt way of speaking could be (and has been) mistaken by many for rudeness. But it's just the way she is. She says things as she sees them, which can sometimes get her into trouble if her mouth speaks before her brain has booted up. She couldn't possibly care less what anybody thinks of her, she's utterly confident in her own skin and most insults don't phase her. When she has a bow in her hand she feels like her parents are with her, even though she barely remembers them.

Amy is a voracious reader and when not in a boxing ring, she can be found with a book of some sort (she prefers science fact or science fiction) but in a pinch will read pretty much anything. She's a smart girl and prefers science and maths to languages and art. Outside of boxing and archery she has a decent interest in sports, she's a mid-ability player and will join in whatever game is going on before classes or after school. She's a good team player, gets on well with others and banters easily with teammates. She's not really leadership material though. When you get to know her she's laid back, funny and a nice girl to be around. She's often underestimated as she has no real powers, but Amy can hold her own when it counts.

BIOGRAPHY
Amy's mother was human, and her father was alien, hailing from a planet many many light years away. He ended up on earth by accident, falling to Earth near Cardiff. Amy's mother was part of the team sent to investigate. Instead of turning in the alien, she befriended him, they fell in love and eventually married and had a child. Up until the age of seven Amy had a fairly normal childhood. A couple of months after she turned seven her parents were involved in a car crash and died, Amy was in school at the time of the crash. With her parents dead and no known next of kin, Amy was put into care and spent the rest of her childhood and her teenage years shuffled between various state run children's homes. Attempts were made to find suitable foster family, but for one reason or another, they never quite worked out. And the older she grew, the less likely it was anybody would want her.

Archery had always been present in her life, it was a sport both her parents loved and after their deaths she inherited all their archery equipment. At the time she was too young to use it, but as she became a teenager she saw learning archery as a way of honouring her parents. She started kickboxing at around thirteen years of age, at the suggestion of her archery instructor who believed it would be a suitable sport for her, based on her lithe frame. And he was right, from the almost the first punch it was clear she had a gift for the the sport, something about her lithe, yet strong frame made it the ideal sport for her. As she grew older training increased from one day a week to four or five and she took up kickboxing as well. To pay for lessons she volunteered to help coach other kids and clean the training equipment after a session.

To her becoming a vigilante just seemed the most natural step, she skills, she might as well use them for something. It's mainly small things, stopping petty robberies and assaults in dark alleys at night. Things that go mostly unnoticed by the police and unreported by victims. But somewhere along the way she got noticed and a note from the Tempest Academy appeared in her gear bag. She was hesitant to join at first, fearing it was a trap, but now she loves it there.

Name: Killian Kane
Age (14-19)/Class (Freshman-Senior): age 16
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual

Powers/Abilities: Density manipulation, this is limited to himself and close fitting clothing. He can reduce his density to virtually 0 being wraith like and can float on air (his powers are bio-psionic in nature so when mass reaches levels where he would pass through objects he is able to levitate, the psionic element also allows him to communicate see, hear etc when at near 0 density at 0 density he is tireless and doesn’t need to breath due to the change of his atomic structure at such low mass). His maximum speed in flying is 50mph.
His maximum density is over 100 tons and his strength increases in proportion to his mass. He has significant atomic structure changes at high densities as well as blood becomes near solid so at high densities he doesn’t need food or oxygen for energy as the energy demands would be so great and his functional energy supplies are extra dimensional the same as his massive mass.
Due to his ability to gain cellular mass at will he can regenerate tissue extremely fast and may well be immortal.

Personality: He is gradually coming out of himself but still respects any authority figure. If in a team he will want to know the leader and will follow their commands. He is still quite regimented in his life and activity’s. He holds quite a lot of restrained anger and aggression and certain situations could bring this out possibly uncontrollably. He has never had a close relationship, no parents no specific friends and no romantic relationship.

Biography: A genetic experiment to create superhumans, his childhood was semi isolated with no specific parent figure. He was trained to use his powers and given normal education so if placed in specific environments he wouldn’t stand out.
He was given hand to hand training and espionage training due to his power set.
He was trained to be an ideal soldier and spy and follow orders to the letter.
Government special forces eventually infiltrated and shut down the faculty that created him. Most of the experiments were not as successful and so could be placed easily back into society. Killian was more difficult to do so but instead has been placed into the tempest academy.

Artemis Francheska Ravenhart
GALNlNBpK5DmZN7bx_vBob84svEvKRynV4of86L0sSg.jpg




Identifying Information
Full Name - Artemis Francheska Ravenhart
Gender - Female
Age - 17, Freshman

Hair Color - Brown
Eye Color - Blue
Complexion - Light

Height - 5' 5"
Weight - 92 lb.
Body Type - Lean
Bust - 35 in.
Waist - 32 in.





AbilitiesFull Healing - Magic she inherited from her mother. Artemis is able to heal the wounds of anyone completely without scarring. This ability shouldn't be used twice on someone within an hour - doing so will lead to bad side effects for the healed person, such as dizziness and fatigue. It cannot heal old wounds that have scarred or a long loss of limbs, nor can it restore lost blood. The wound needs to be closed or set for healing fully. She cannot use this ability on herself.

Soothing Voice - Power she inherited from her father. She can make her voice is naturally soothing to those who hear it, making them calmer. It doesn't work on everyone, especially those with a heavy rage or those who are deaf.




PersonalitySexuality: Biromantic

Artemis is a quiet and studious girl who normally keeps to herself when she could. Kindness flows from this girl like a soft river. She's not very good at defending herself or fighting in general but she can push herself to help anyone she can. This will often leave her extremely exhausted as she doesn't have too much stamina due to a lack of exercise. She will probably try to break up any fights between her peers unless she knows it's a spar. She isn't the smartest person, but she does have common sense. She has a love for all things literature (she has a guilty pleasure when it comes to romance novels) and chocolate chip cookies.




BackstoryArtemis was born to Krystal Makellon, a surgeon, and Drake Ravenhart, a guard for a major corporation, in Mayville, North Dakota. Her mother and father both possessed magic but they hid it from the public. Artemis's childhood was peaceful, but she often got bullied due to her own weakness. To help her overcome this problem, her parents showed her their magic and how she had inherited their powers from her birth. This made Artemis feel less weak when she got bullied, giving her the courage to stand up to them, if you can call treating the bullies with the same kindness she gives everyone else that. One day, she saw someone get hurt in a hit-and-run. She quickly rushed over to them and accidentally used her magic in the public to heal them, which saved them from dying. People questioned her about it but she refused to talk. Eventually, however, she got an invitation to the academy.

Name: Tyern
Age (14-19)/Class (Freshman-Senior): 17/ Junior
Gender:
Male
Sexuality:
Demisexual
Powers/Abilities:
Kinetic Manipulation - Tyern possesses the ability to absorb, channel and maintain kinetic energy. The more energy he absorbs, the stronger he becomes- to a point. His body's cells can only handle so much energy in them before they begin to break down. This can result in illness or even death. Tyern can send out pulses of force, those these are wild at the present time and usually out of control.

Personality:
Tyern is a quiet boy who just wants to keep his head down. He's never wanted these powers, and doesn't know what to do with them now that he has them. Tyern is shy, particularly around pretty people. The only time Tyern reacts is in the presence of bullies, as he cannot stand them in any form. Tyern is fiercely loyal to friends and romantic partners alike, quietly having their back as best he can.

Biography:
The son of a single mother, Tyern has lived his life to make her happy. He inherited his powers from his father, a great mage who had a dalliance with Tyern's mother. Having left her, and by extension Tyern, in the lurch, Tyern has developed a hatred for his father, announcing time and again that he has no father. Tyern discovered his powers in school. When a bully targeted his best friend, Tyern reacted violently. In the ensuing melee, Tyern threw the other boy through the wall of the school. As part of his punishment, Tyern was given a choice: Got to juvenile detention, or go to Tempest Academy. How bad could a school be?

Name: Yue Bree
Age (14-19)/Class (Freshman-Senior): 18 (Junior)
Gender:
Male
Sexuality:
Heterosexual
Powers/Abilities:

Assassination Techniques - Learning from the clan, Yue has learnt multiple techniques to kill, disarm, incapacitate and weaken. Most of these techniques revolve around his use of Kunai, knives and the enemies blind spot. Usually attacking from a blind angle before disappearing and then attacking from a new angle. While Yue is competent in face to face combat, its the mere basics and he can usually get over-powered or quickly beaten through raw skill difference. Along with this, if there is no place to hide, most of Yue's techniques are rendered useless and he will have to improvise greatly to make up for it. Finally he is still human in the end, and while being powerful given the opportunity, strength wise Yue is quite weak and can be beaten and hurt in all the ways every human can. Thus relying on his agility, evasiveness and deceit is Yue's key to victory.

Intel Gathering - Yue tends to learn about everything related to missions or to people, keeping in contact with a underground source of intel, he uses his influence in the clan to gain information on future/potential opponents or area's he has not yet visited to plan ahead for a fight or situation - "The fight starts well before the fighters meet"

Enhanced Senses - Having trained in the hostile wilderness alone multiple times, Yue had to sharpen his senses to keep ahead of anything seeing him has pray, from hearing subtle movements around him to being able to see quite well in the dark, Yue quickly managed to make use of them by keeping a firm grip on a certain area that he wishes to protect, knowing what enters or leaves almost immediately. Along with this he gained another sense entirely after training with the people on the hunt for him, he began to feel them come closer, the grip of death reaching for him and the sense of bloodlust emitting from those after him. Yue can sense when a severe or life-threatening attack is coming, but he can't tell where its coming from or when it will happen. This has managed to save him multiple times due to neglecting how much strength a person has or how many shots have been fired from a gun. But there have been a few times were he has been on death's door due to not being able to find the danger.

Personality:

Yue has quite a dry personality, usually replying as is or sarcastically depending on how much he wants to tease someone. Keeping mostly to himself and trying to keep all trump cards and skills under closed eyes. He is able to keep a good poker face is most situations and doesn't mind lying or deceiving someone if he sees it resulting to a more favourable outcome. However when in a fight, all sense of humour and personality is gone as he completely focuses on how to both survive and win, prioritising the latter. Though he usually works alone, group missions have taught him to utilise the use of allies to the best of their abilities, usually giving out positions and places they should prioritise over others. The only connection between Yue outside a fight and in one is his use of deceit, Yue is not against throwing sand in the eyes of opponents gullible enough to keep them on him, same goes for ganging up on one enemy and attacking from behind or blind spots, Yue will make use of anything at his disposal for the survival of him and his allies.

Biography:

Having never known his real parents, all he really remembers is living and growing up with his 'family'. This family consisted of his clan, 'The Night Watchers', despite having sent in multiple request forms to the higher ups to change the name to something less childish or removing the name all together. The clan treated Yue well and in his free time, he was free to eat, drink and relax as much as he wanted, but during training hours, Yue would be trained for his life in dangerous situations. What started off as learning how to wield a knife and throw a kunai, quickly turned to surviving in a wild forest for five days. All of which began at the age of seven, the child Yue obviously failed within a matter of hours, breaking down and ending up getting taken back by two adult members sent to watch over him. After sending him back to the forest every fortnight, two years passed before Yue was finally able to complete the task of surviving the forest for five days. Having killed wild life for food, setting up shelter and searching for rivers for water, Yue felt he was unstoppable the way he was, until the next week came and they sent him back to the forest with a new catch. On the second night, two other members would be sent into the forest on the hunt for him. His prideful face quickly disappeared as a sarcastic "Come again?" was that last thing he remember saying before hiding behind a tree hearing the shuffling of trees and the sounds of twigs getting cracked behind him.

As time went on and his skills sharpened along with the difficulty of the tasks, the time finally came at the age of twelve, Yue was given his first ever assignment. As a grandfather clock struck twelve o clock, the master of the house had perished, leaving no trace behind. Yue had completely memorised the interior map of the house, all the schedules of the people living there and went forward with a basic plan of attack which succeeded without a hitch. Having succeeded his first assignment so well, he quickly rose the ranks of the clan eventually becoming those who hunt new recruits and watch over them during their tests. It annoyed him how easy they were to spot and how happy they were to do something so simple, but knowing he probably reacted the same somehow annoyed him more. At the age of eighteen Yue was called the head of the clan personally, which was a surprise for him because the head of the clan almost never speaks to anyone personally, he mostly just sends annoying letters with mocking remarks to everyone. After meeting with the head of the clan, he handed a letter to Yue. Yue reluctantly opened it up and read the letter before looking up at the head. "So... They know about us? Isn't that... Y'know a problem?" But the head of the clan just laughed and replied "Just go have fun with your teenage years, they only come once!" Before bursting into laughter with the occasional "Oh the youth nowadays." Yue tightly clenched the letter glaring daggers at the head of the clan "How.. How can someone so stupid as you be our clan master..." After taking a deep breath, he looked back at the letter and went to go pack up, he needed some time away from that clan anyway.

Faceclaim/Description:

Yue has quite a slender build, with not much muscle or fat. He has dark brown hair with brown eyes and is usually seen wearing a black neck warmer which is mostly seen as a extension to his black hoodie. He wears dark grey trousers and black trainers. While all the clothes he tends to wear are black because it was clan tradition that he has grown too used to, Yue himself has quite pale skin, this is usually hidden in battle between his hood being up and the neck warmer going over his nose, leaving only his eyes visible. The last thing Yue wears is only while in combat is a loosely tightened cape, this is less for accessory purposes and more so he can create a blind spot easily by throwing it between him and his opponents. Yue usually carries seven Kunai's, six for throwing and one as a backup. But he usually picks them up while circling his enemies in a fight. He also has two knives both usually kept within hands reach.
 
Hello everyone, sorry for such a late update! My internet's been pretty bad lately, but we'll be starting tomorrow, if everyone's fine with that!

Also, RPN decided to delete my two character drafts, and I don't really have a lot of time to RP, so I'll probably just be moderating the RP and doing plot stuff, without having my own characters ;w;
 
It already did
