Welcome to Gaia! ::

Witches. You've seen them around. Oh? You haven't. Too bad, cause they're neat.
Since you already know the basics of WHAT they are, time to get down the nitty gritty.
Every witch is only born with one power. That seems to be different from what you thought about witches. Witches don't have powers! They have books and stuff and they LEARN magic. Each person is born with one power, as I said. You are born a witch. You don't become one.
Powers can be anything, but what power you're born with is considered your specialty. There are several specialties which are sorted into three categories, and within these categories are the actual powers. Mental, physical and spiritual. Spiritual powers are incredibly rare, but they do exist. Only 1 person of every generation has these spiritual powers though. Mental powers are less common that physical.
Physical magic is the most common type. It is also what mortals think of as magic. You frame what you want in words. It often requires a conductor of magic. These are small things that a physical witch carries with her at all times. Wands were common in the old days, but they were hard to find the right wood for. There used to be plantations of wand trees for witches, but making a wand took 90 days. The process was timeconsuming, tedious and all around troublesome. Many witches turned to sentimental objects as their conductors. A small locket with a lock of a lover's hair is the most powerful, but a small childhood toy would be second best. One looks very silly carrying around a teddy bear in this day and age, so many settle for a piece of a 'security blanket'.
Examples of powers for physical witches:
Superstrength and flight are the most common and limiting abilities. While powers like spontaneous growth. the power to make yourself and other living things grow at will, is more useful.
Mental magic is the second most common type. To cast a 'spell' you control your thoughts and focus on a single idea. This is extremely difficult, but many succeed in the end. Mental witches are the easiest to integrate into normal society. These powers are subconscious at the beginning, causing chaotic problems during childhood. Luckily once a child turns five these chaotic problems disappear.
Mental witches have creatures called familiars, although some physical witches have these. Humans have heard of these as well. These familiars are magic conductors. Except that they breathe. It is old fashioned to obtain a black cat as a familiar, but many find these are not loyal. They prefer canines for familiars.
Examples of powers for mental witches:
Pyrokinesis and hydrokinesis are the most common. These allow for expounding abilities into other elements. These are incredibly useful and easily controlled.
Telekinesis is uncommon, but a very desirable power.
Spiritual witches are the rarest of all three. Spiritual witches are physically frail and mentally unstable. The only thing that one can depend a spiritual witch for is emotional support. Spiritual witches affect a person's soul and subsequently their emotions. All spiritual witches have the same power, empathy. This power grants the witch the ability to 'see' other people's emotions as an aura. They can also tamper with the emotions, bending the person towards a more desirable feeling. Some spiritual witches desire more, and take control of a person's emotions like a marionette. When this happens the person's soul is ripped from the body, leaving a zombie. Fortunately this has only happened once. The process leaves the witch brain dead, and she was put out of her misery before she could cause anyone harm.
The next generation of witches has come, only a few decades after the zombie incident. Now the spiritual witch has been found, and many people believe she will follow in the footsteps of the predecessor. Many hate her and just as many fear her. She is now attending a boarding school for witches and warlocks, and the scrutiny of her fellow students might affect her future use of powers.

Lobelia Acedemy is a large school, set up inside a castle. The castle is small though, but more than enough for a school. The castle doesn't have any electricity, and is extremely dark even during the day. Students usually carry around candles while walking through the castle, because the gas lamps don't light the dark hallways very well.
The dorms are co-ed. There are two beds, a wardrobe and two bedside tables in the room, which is lit by two gas lamps and whatever candles the students choose to light. There is no running water. The school set up port-a-potties outside and if you want a shower you go to the gym down the way. Luckily the gym is used to this, and gives students a discount on gym membership. Its either that or pay five dollars per shower. Many find that the membership is more economic.
There is a book store across the street, and a cafe attached to it. The cafe is owned by a witch, who gives discounts for students. She gives her regulars nicknames, and is generally a cheery person.

Dorms!

Picture:

Name: Melodia DenteMoura

Age: 17


Type: Mental


Power: Empathy. She can feel emotions of those around her, and manipulate them at will.

Parents: Her Parents Are deceased

History: Melodia's dad died when she was a young girl. Her mother never paied attention to her, and she was eventually sent to a orphange till she was of reasonable age. She was bullied in the orphanage, and therefore became a closed up shell, rarely talking to anybody. She never wanted much out of life, and she always tells others life is what you make it, so make it right. Melodia eventually came around to talking when a teacher opened her eyes to a new world beyond what she imagines. She learns that she has a gift, and takes the oppertunity to hone it.

Personality: Melodia is a bit distant. She talks, but only chooses to talk when the subject is reasonable, and makes sence to her. She is very cautious about who she makes friends with, and never puts her full trust in someone unless she gets to know them. She chooses to use her mind more than her mouth, which makes her mental strength strong.

Picture:

Name: Sally Freud
Age: 15
Type: physical
Power: pyrokinesis
Parents: Perry Freud (incarcerated) and Kelly Freud (deceased)
History: Sally's first few years were normal, learning and living like a happy witch child. But as she began to do normal kid things (break vases, flush Daddy's wallet down the toilet, refuse to eat etc.) her dad became more and more furious. He fought with her mother, often with her watching. It became violent, her mother getting beaten often, and she just sat and watched, sucking her thumb.
Something clicked in her mind as she watched her father's face as he beat her mother. It had a sort of sick pleasure in it, a feeling she never knew. He looked happy when he hurt people, and here she was unhappy when he did. What if SHE hurt people?
He soon turned on her, beating her. She let him, liking the pain slightly. On her fifth birthday he accidentally pushed her down the stairs. She hit her head against the wall. When she awoke she had been in a coma for a year. She had developed an alternative personality.
She was taken from her father, and sent to an orphanage. Being a cute girl she was scooped up and adopted quickly. However the parents soon found out about her disorder, and sent her back.
And so it went, each switch sending her bad personality into anger and hiding. Soon her good side became better and better, and she was adopted yet again when she was twelve. Her other personality lay dormant for a few years while she went through changes. These changes were her powers coming out... and normal pubery. But her other personality came out again when she was being bullied.
She liked the pain, but she wanted to inflict some too. She turned on the boy, and punched him, burning him with her newfound powers. This got her suspended for a few days, and she was accepted to White Ridge.
Personality: Little Miss Goody Two Shoes. She acts sweet and innocent, and usually follows rules. She is very quiet, and often doe eyed. She listens to soft rock and gazes out into space often. Although occasionally she switches acts dramatically. She becomes outrageous, loud, and well... not good! She is masochistic and sadistic in this personality. Although both personalities are very forgetful. They leave guitar picks, keys, rocks, cds, DVDs, tacks, shoes, and many other things lying around and consequently... lost! Her sense of direction is whacked too, and she often needs a map to get around.

Gaianame:Raven_silverclaw
Name: Desnoirs
Age: 17
Type: Physical
Power: Super Speed
Parents: Her mom was a normal human and her dad was a warlock, when he found she had power he was very happy, they sent her off to learn what she could or to get her off thier hands she isn't sure which now.
History: She was a normal kid until she hit 13, then she started to show she was quicker then anyone on her track team and even unnatrually fast with to much energy. Then she started to gain more control over her powers and how fast she moved, but she has a hard time when she is excited. So they sent her to magic academy to learn about others like her and maybe control her over all hyperness.
Personality: She tries very hard to always stay calm after always being yelled at, but she is very energetic and show offy sometimes. If hyper enough she moves so fast that she is blurry and if she runs at full speed she is hard to follow or see. Although she is very sweet sometimes she is hard to understand as her mind moves about as fast as her body can. She also jumps from subject to sunject.
Picture:

Name: Elisabeth McManix
Age: 16
Type: mental
Power: hydrokinesis
Parents: Aniea and Sean McManix
History: Her mother was a witch and when Bethy began to show signs of having powers herself, Aniea was thrilled. Both her parents accepted her power and taught her to be proud of who she was while keeping her power secret. She grew up strong and brave, knowing she was loved.

When Bethy was 14, her father was killed in an accident. Aniea tried to comfort Bethy the best she could, but being so upset herself, she wasn't very much help. Bethy found comfort in one of her few friends; their recently adopted Shetland Sheepdog puppy, Shena. The two became nearly inseparable. When Bethy left for school, Aniea allowed Bethy to take Shena along.
Personality: Bethy is generally a very kind and sweet girl. She has come to terms with the loss of her father for th most part, but still gets depressed from time to time. Bethy is sometimes very shy, and so finds it difficult to make friends, but once she has made one, Bethy will protect them with her life.
Picture:

Name: Minami, Rika
Age: 16
Type: Mental
Power: Can see and 'hear' the dead, but unable to converse with them, only able to excorcise them.
Parents: Both deceased soon after birth.
History: After her parents death, she was given to a foster family. The new family she joined already had 3 other children, so her foster parents took care of her, but didn't bother to 'bond' with her. Having alot of free time on her hands, she liked to read ghost stories and sit in her room alone. When she was 5, she was sitting in her room when she felt a presence behind her. She turned and saw two people, translucent and floating before her. Rika immediately recognized them as her dead parents, and she discovered her power, which had been inherited by her mother, who died from being attacked for having such powers.

From that day, Rika withdrew herself from most people, her only friend a stray cat. Literally seeing dead people all around her, she started to learn many things, and embraced her power, enhancing it. She was considered an outcast from her odd behavior, and soon she was sent to the Lobelia Academy, where others knew of such other-worldly powers...
Personality: The first word that comes to mind: dark and creepy. She doesn't mean to be, but she gives off a dark feel that makes others shy away from her. She's really actually shy and friendly if you get the chance to actually get past her dark side. She's very loyal, and doesn't like cowards and people such as bullies.
