eeeh, for real??? Wow that's crazy, something like that actually happened... Well basing the character off of a real life event is even better, adds more flavor to her as a whole. Also I love the choice of having her from russia, hope she still holds a bit of her accent too. And yep, that pretty much clears up everything, you're good to go! I'll have the in character up by either today or tomorrow, gonna give more people a chance to join.

I know!! I was so shocked that something like that could have happened less than 100 years ago. 'Sally' died before I was born, but her husband is still alive, and, at 93, he loves to talk about it. If I ever get the chance, I'm going to ask so many questions.

I'll definitely make sure she retains just a hint of the accent---things like that don't just go away in a few years haha. And that sounds good to me, best of luck with your OC!

Ight I love her as well~ Although a problem comes in with her backstory.
- For one, where are her parents? Family? Literally anything or anyone?
- What reason does she have for being so violent? Or is that just reflective of the world she grew up in?
- Please have her start from Year 0, not Year 1
- Remove the part about the puppy being killed, it doesn't really make sense. Like, why is this guy just in the back harassing a puppy? Why does she care? Why does that make her fight back? I think I can see why you added it, but it just seems really unnecessary when she could just have easily determined that she didn't want to die, without having to add in the dead puppy part.
- Why was she not arrested after killing the ones who beat her? On that note, it seems she turned the ground itself into sand but sand transfiguration isnt one of her listed abilities,
- Lastly, Totem rarely goes out and directly recruits people. They rather more so like kidnapping them instead, they only recruit experienced assassins, and that's as like teachers and staff.

-Forgot to add the Sand transmutation that's my fault thought I put it there.
-She's violent due to the place she grew up in where brute force was the solution to most of her problems.
-The guy kills a kitten because in the heat of the moment he lashed out at it, these are guys who are at the moment blinded by their rage
-She wasn't arrested because she buried them in sand which would make it impossible for police to find a suspect
-Also about the kitten it isn't that she cares about the kitten it was just something that helped her realize that she wanted to live at all cost
-They didn't really recruit her more so held her at gunpoint and told her to come with them

I mean you can make them 17, it's still in the age range. You just need to be year 0

- Ight, although you'd have to get rid of one of your other abilities. Controlling, becoming, as well as turning other material into sand is a bit much.
- Ight, but there's still the question of where her family is
- Ight I understand the reason for attacking the animal, but it isn't needed. It's one of those sappy things you see in anime that just sort of happens to make a character seem deeper than they are. If she really is strong willed there would be no need for an animal to get hurt for her to realize that she needed to live.
- Are you saying the police wouldn't dig up the sand?
- You didn't really add that, also the institute wouldn't hold any of their future students at gunpoint. Too much risk in damaging the product, they would have just grabbed her, sedated her, and left.

Nah, people get taken around like 13/14-17 or so, your year doesn't correspond to your age, it's more so a matter of skill. So there can be (but will never be) a 13 year old that's year 8

Legal Name: Juliet di Fiorentino

Alias/Nickname: Most people are too intimidated to call her anything other than her name

Age: Seventeen, on the verge of eighteen. Joined the institute when she was fifteen.
{Birthday: 16th of May}

Gender: Female

Year: 0

Appearance: Juliet is beautiful but deadly. Her looks are only to stun her enemy and take control of their thoughts and actions. Red hair, pale skin and deep brown eyes are all part of her power. With this, she is also of average height and has a curvy figure. She's often mistaken for looking older than she actually is.

Personality: She's well known for being a 'mean girl' and most people will move out of her way in the halls. With looks that could kill paired with her terrifying gaze, she could tear someone apart simply with her attitude. But it doesn't stop her from having her more kinder moments.

History: Her family is originally from Italy but they moved when she was very young to New York. Many would assume she's your typical spoiled brat but with two older sisters and one younger brother, she always had to fight for her parent's attention. Juliet lived a fairly normal life up until about the age of thirteen when she began to have remarks made about her appearance. It always made her uncomfortable but there was little she could really do about the way she looked. When she was little, she was able to talk people into giving her toys and candy and later money and favours.
It was only when she was fifteen that she realized it wasn't just a pretty face that got her what she wanted. After a few close calls with dangerous gangsters who wanted to use her powers, her father decided to enroll her in the Institute where she would be safe and hopefully learn to control her skills.

Gifted Ability: Juliet has the power to influence peoples thoughts, feelings and actions. Firstly, her looks draw in her victim and then she can charm them through her words. She's been working on perfecting her power since she discovered it. So far she can only hold people's thoughts for so long before it starts to hurt and their desires overtake her manipulation. At that point she finds she has to break off the connection.

Skills/Abilities: In fights, Juliet does not use fists or weapons but instead her venomous words. She's found that being mean is a lot easier than being nice and keeps unwanted people at bay. It's only when she uses her charm that she can really control people so her mean girl attitude has been a way of capping her powers. She finds it hard sometimes to make friends because of this.
She is a dangerous flirt and normally will use it to get what she wants. But if her opponent is too stoic, she will turn vicious. Bratty doesn't come anywhere close to defining it.
But despite not showing it, Juliet has a gentler side to her that likes to paint. Beneath the make up and vanity she likes to play violin as well and has been taught since she was eight years old. And although they left when she was little, Juliet's family speak fluent Italian in their home.

Stats:
Strength: 2
Speed: 2
Agility: 4
Endurance/Stamina: 5
Durability: 5
Technique: 5
Cooperativeness: 1

Ight all good from what I see, other than the stats, adding them up they reach more than 20.

I wonder how she's going to react once she finds out the truth about the school~

-I'll add something about her family
-I'll be sure to drop an ability then
-I'm saying what do the police do to find out she did it? She got rid of any blood by putting the bodies in the sand so that took away the only thing pointing her towards being the killer

She beat the shit out of them, and vice versa. There's bound to be blood around the area, she couldn't have kept track of all the blood, not to mention the screams of terror that definitely would have been heard. She's not a master psycopath, she's a kid, there's no way she could have hid away every thing about her possibly being there. Not to mention if ther's just a bunch of sand that wasnt there before, the police are bound to dig it up. She would be arrested shortly after the death of the boys

He isn't very special, compared to the other students in the Institute at least. Even his ability has got to be quite underwhelming when you take into account the bigger picture. But at the same time, he isn't the bottom of the bottom, he won't be left behind when it really matters, and yet won't be at the front. He's the so-so of the so-so's, the average joe and the normal nansie. He's come to terms with this fact long ago and has given up trying to be anything other than himself. This, however, makes a dent in his person. It gives him less drive since he knows his limits and finds it difficult to overcome said limits, he would rather stay in his range of ability than even attempt to reach out of it. Why would he? For what point? In his eyes it doesn't matter either way because everything returns to its point of origin eventually, so what's the point in moving forward? It puts a staple block in his overall progression, not only as a person but also as an assassin.

Asta is very impressionable. Easily changed, easily influenced, and easily manipulated. He likes to keep his emotions inside of his chest and not on his sleeve, but at the same time when it comes to other people, they can influence him very easily. His personality is very reflective of his environment, it's why it was so easy for him to be bullied. Because he simply thought that the bullies were being his friends. Although when it comes to his personal limits, that's where his influenced nature ends. His view of self overpowers any weak will he has.

Safe to say that Asta is quite a weak bodied and weak minded guy. He'll get picked on, be tricked and controlled, and without any real struggle either. It's what makes him so confused as to why he was picked for the institute in the first place. He isn't strong or tacticle, he doesn't have much of a drive, and he can be scared into doing most things. All in all, he sees himself as someone who will only hold himself back as well as a team down. Although this is disregarding everything good about him. Asta has a very strong sense of justice, he can see when things are bad and evil, and will act upon that. He's the perfect example of someone who doesn't care about themselves but cares about other people. When someone is being harmed he can't help but to act upon it and defend them, not only has this harmed him in the past, it will most likely be problematic in the future simply due to the fact that he has to kill. He's also very generous and kind willed, he loves to take his time and to smell the roses, he loves to play video games and make friends, and all in all, is simply a refreshing person to be around.

Asta is generally scared of most things, but above all else, he has two major fears. Bugs, and tight spaces. Bugs simply because they're creepy, and crawly, and overall terrifying to him. But he hates tight spaces for.... Other reasons. He hates being restricted, even it's something as simple as a belt he refuses to wear it. Anything that limits how comfortable he is or limits his movement can not be allowed to exist around him, especially if it's in dark areas. [/div] [div class="textbox big2"][div class=title]description[/div] Asta is a very pale skinned guy, definitely due to how little of time he spends outside. He has curly brown hair, although it seems to be more so a mess of brown on his head than it does actual hair. He has black eyes and is 5'11" in height. Probably the least normal thing about him, seeing as most people his age (from his school at least) were averaged at 5'9". He has very soft lips and skin, both because he doesn't do much and because he likes to take care of his personal hygiene. When it comes to clothing, he can be seen wearing a variety of clothing, too much to list, simply put he doesn't care what he wears as long as it's easy to move around in. [/div] [div class="textbox big3"][div class=title]backstory[/div] Unknown (for now) [/div] [div class="textbox big4"][div class=title]ability description[/div] Bloodhound: Bloodhound is a pretty basic ability that puts him as just that, a bloodhound, in the sense of tracking skills of course. His hand-eye coordination is enhanced, although the speed that acts on that reaction is slow. He's able to see footprints very clearly and keep up with tracks, and even more so he can see the actions done onto objects. Such as him being able to know who drank from a cup left out, who used a gun, etc. etc. All of his senses are enhanced due to his ability as well, helping him track down things easier.

[div class=title]Fast Learner[/div] He is able to adapt to new situations very easily, and always is able to fit in. It makes him the perfect teammate.
[div class=title]Natural Intellect[/div] This is also due to his ability, as well as who he is simply as a person. He is very smart and observant, able to notice things easier and quicker than most people. This allows him to think up plans on the spot, and take advantage of peoples strengths and weaknesses, be it for better or for worse. (Most likely worse.)
[div class=title]Natural Born Leader[/div] As strange as it may seem, Asta is a naturally born leader. If need be he will take charge, and more so than never will lead his team to victory. He mostly does this because he simply isn't strong enough to do anything by himself. He doesn't believe he can be useful as anything else, he cant fight, he can't support, he can only stand behind and watch, while trying to direct his allies.
