ғeel free to call me . . . Jordan. I've never had a nickname I'm afraid, but I'd be open to suggestions.
υnless you're blind, you should see that I'm . . . a girl. You wouldn't be the first that wasn't sure though.
чou think I'm what age? No, I'm . . . sixteen.
α lot of people say I'm . . . rather weird. The bulk of these people don't know me very well. I like to think I'm actually fairly normal in a general sense, aside from my appearance. I tend to be a bit on the shy side an avoid others where possible. Even so I've been making a considerable effort to meet more people at the risk of further ridicule. Don't really understand it myself. Strange mix of being lonely yet scared of people at the same time.
When I get really excited about something I tend to get very tunnel visioned. All I can think about is the thing in question, to the point where I blow off other engagements. Just as quickly as something interests me, I grow bored of it and move on to something else. It's a bit of a bad habit really, but it always seems like a great idea at the time.
In rare moments anger overwhelms me I normally wind up relying on my slightly intimidating looks. Just looking like I'm ready to snap is enough for people to avoid me. I've never really considered what I'd do if they didn't back down though. Even without prior experience I'm pretty sure I'd be no good in a fight.
care to hear my story? Ever since I was born I've suffered from a rare birth defect the doctors named Acute Hydronea Fibrosis. Never heard of it? Well neither has anyone else. What it basically means is that I can't breathe air like a normal human. What I can breathe, is water. You'd think it would be rather convenient considering it covers over 70% of the earth's surface, but it is quite a pain if you enjoy human interaction.
For my entire life the only way I've been able to interact with regular people is through a custom made sort of hasmat suit that streams oxidized water to me. Wouldn't be so bad but even my skin just seems unadapted to the air. Without thorough protection it gets super dry and cracked even in humid climates. The suit does it's job rather well though, and can keep me safe for up to eight solid hours, assuming I break once every two hours to refuel. More than anything I hate the way it makes me look. I've only had a few friends who would approach me. Most are either afraid of me or bully me because of my stigma. If I had to pick, the people who fear me are much easier to deal with. Considering I'm wearing a form of life support, bullies are very dangerous. Kids can be so cruel.
After an incident I'd rather not go into in middle school, I took several years off to just swim around exploring the oceans. The longer I traveled however, the more I longed for some companionship. One can only spend so much time with fish before the loneliness becomes unbearable. It was around this time I heard about a school for magical individuals. Not like I had much aptitude for magic but I concluded if there was a school where I'd fit in, this was probably it. Who could be more accepting than other special individuals. Worth a shot at least. As an additional incentive, they have got to have some kind of magic that will help me. I'm sure there's something more convenient than this stupid suit. So with that I enrolled hoping to become a master aquamancer.
αbilities? Yeah, I have . . . the ability to breathe underwater I guess. Not sure if you'd count it as an ability though considering it replaced my ability to breathe not underwater.
ι adore . . . ○ Swimming (Duh) ○ Hanging out ○ Dry food (Really only the first bite) ○ Listening to music
єveryone of these drive me mad . . . ○ Bullies ○ The Sun ○ Squids (Don't ask, they're just mean) ○ My aquasuit

ғeel free to call me . . . Nora.
υnless you're blind, you should see that I'm . . . female. Can't really believe you'd even ask that.
чou think I'm what age? No, I'm . . . seventeen.
α lot of people say I'm . . . rather rude. Mostly because I have a habit of imposing or not asking people for permission. I don't know why people are such babies about it though. It's not like they were using all of their blood anyway. Got off on a bit of a tangent. Speaking of which, that's another habit. Tend to not pay attention and quickly change the subject to whatever wandered into my mind.
When I'm in a good mood I can actually be quite nice believe it or not. I've been told I get a little over enthusiastic at times though. Not really sure how that's possible. Isn't enthusiasm supposed to be a good thing? Whatever, I'm sure my therapist has no idea what he's talking about.
As for sad, I'm not really sure. Is it possible to skip sad and head straight to angry? Well I guess that's a rhetorical question since that's what I do. As for how I am when I'm angry, well why don't you try me and find out? It may be the last thing you ever do.
care to hear my story? Not a whole lot to say here. Back when I was young I lived in a fairly small town. From what I hear I was a pretty normal kid. All that changed abruptly though when I was thirteen. Me and some neighborhood kids were just hanging out on the playground when I fell off the jungle gym and cracked my skull on a bar. The last thing I remember before blacking out is what felt like insects escaping the wound and the shrill sound of screaming from my companions. Next thing I know I wake up drenched in their essence with police slowly closing in on me. In case it wasn't obvious, this was the moment my blood mage abilities awoke.
Naturally I entered prison that day. It wasn't so bad though. When you have a reputation as twisted as mine, no one tends to bother you. I also had the occasional murdered inmate to supply my research. It's not like they'd be using the blood much anyway right? Oddly enough I didn't even have to be that secretive about it. As simple as collecting some in a bowl and dragging it back to my room. As long as I wasn't the one doing the killing they just let me be. Anyway, long story short, I spent a good five years honing my powers and going to my court mandated therapy sessions. Life was good.
It changed pretty dramatically though during my fourth year of imprisonment. I met someone willing to confront me. She acted so high and mighty, and somehow that just pissed me off to no end. So what if I like to make use of the scraps left of others. If I'm not hurting anyone its all good right? After a few weeks of arguing and getting into minor scuffles I finally snapped at her. Honestly I'd just meant to tell her off, but as I began yelling it felt like my blood was boiling beneath my skin. Several large gashes erupted from my body as if my own flesh was attempting to escape. The bloody locusts from earlier swarmed over the other girl, tearing her apart until she became a part of them. I'd apparently done this to my friends as well, but this was the first time I witnessed it first hand. Just like the first time, I genuinely didn't mean to do it. Somehow I didn't really feel too bad about it either though. 'She shouldn't have pushed me' I decided to myself. Having witnessed my abilities first hand a fair few voted to have me executed but the therapist I'd been seeing since I arrived convinced them of something else. This something else was Fuyu. Clearly the problem lied with my inability to control myself, and there just so happened to be a school for that exact kind of thing. Of course eventually I'd have to complete my sentence, but they agreed to allow me to attend as a form of rehabilitation.
To this day I still can't believe they went for it. Even more surprising is that Fuyu Academy would allow a convict to attend. I guess as a school catering to people with a high affinity to magic they were used to the unusual. The people at the jail did have a few conditions though, the most obvious one was having someone keep an eye on me. A guard was assigned to my case and stalks me constantly. Apparently if I show any obvious signs of aggression he is supposed to plant a bullet in my brain. They also had a sort of electric anklet allowing them to stun me into submission at any distance. Can't really complain though cause it sure beats jail. For now I'll practice my control and maybe one day try and escape.
αbilities? Yeah, I have . . . the typical powers of a blood mage. My influence extends roughly fifteen feet and gives pretty decent control over any exposed blood in that area. It is pretty lenient though and can only hurt someone about as much as getting sprayed with a squirt gun. Regardless it has it's uses. When my abilities really show though is through the use of my own blood. Every time I've bled it takes the form of insects loosely under my control.
ι adore . . . ○ Human Experimentation (Hey don't knock it till you try it) ○ Relaxing With Friends ○ Meat (Just to clarify, I mean food) ○ Most Sports or Games
єveryone of these drive me mad . . . ○ Certain People (Hard to name a specific type, some just rub me the wrong way) ○ My Guard ○ Vegetables ○ Naysayers
мy House, Dorm, and Homeroom are . . . House: Wyvern Dorm: Homeroom: Magics and Weaponry
чou see, I'm controlled by . . .farkleralyx

Hello, a few adjustments need to be made for your profile!
Biography •Sending a 12 year old to prison seems to be a logical inconsistency. Shouldn't she be sent to a Youth Detention Centre since she is still a minor and is presumably living in an existing country? •The whole experimenting on dead bodies doesn't seem like something any orthodox prison or Youth Detention Centre or any official establishment would openly practice. Why were there so many dead bodies to begin with? Care to elaborate on it? •How did she end up destroying parts of the building by controlling one's blood? Blood vs Typical building made of bricks + cement doesn't seem to me like blood would win on this one. •She seems to be mixing between being aware of the caliber of her powers and accepting them in comparison to fearing them. When she was experimenting on corpses, Nora comes off as being rather sadistic and embracing of her abilities as she attempts to refine her powers and mocks those who cannot accept her powers. However, later, when she mentions she is in fact scared, makes me wonder. If she is afraid of killing a person or of her powers, why did she spend so much time trying to tame her powers if their very nature is to be used against others? Did one meeting with a reckless person make her do a 180 degrees? Like if you're afraid of fire, why would you go and spend 5 entire years playing with it? I'm not sure we're following the same train of thoughts here, so please expand on that aspect.
Abilities •I cannot accept manipulation of the blood of other characters as it will lead to godmoding. Please stick with just manipulating her blood or blood that is not inside a person. Manipulation of another character's blood is too overpowered since you basically got yourself a puppet to do your bidding and logically, they would have no say. •Is she really striving to tame her powers for the better good? Or is she really doing it on a whim? It seems a bit out of character considering her personality and biography.
Please quote me once you've edited the profile so that I can look over it again. Thank you!

Several good points, let me focus on these in order. The prison thing, I kinda considered whether or not they would send someone that young to an adult prison. I concluded it would be okay, but after doing a bit of research the youngest person sent to prison was actually thirteen in the United States. Hence, I'll just boost her age a year, problem solved. As for the dead bodies, looking back on it yeah that was sorta dumb. From what I hear about jail (Never been o.o) people get killed semi regularly. At which point she would just sort of go to town. In retrospect, this was a little vague, but I picture her more looting bodies of a bit of blood and bringing it back to her room, when they were killed by other inmates. Updating to reflect this. Destroying the buildings with blood. Somehow I pictured it working, but now that you mention it... I don't know. Have you ever seen the anime Deadman Wonderland. Not the sole inspiration for the character but it's sorta like that. Looking back on it I've set her powers in stone a bit more, the main of which being the locusts. Interesting point. I had a lot of distractions while writing this and to be honest, didn't really read it before posting. My bad. =o Ahh blood control. It isn't described very thoroughly, but let's say a perfectly healthy human was standing before her. She would be able to do practically nothing with his/her blood unless the person was stabbed or something. Even then only the blood that fell out of him/her. Just so ya know, not like she could just make someone explode or something. Lastly... ya know what you're right. I can't picture her trying to improve. Sometimes it helps to have a 3rd party read it. Sorry again about the inconsistencies, fixin it. Also had to come up with a new reason she got out of jail and went to Fuyu though, hope it makes enough sense. Hope that just about fixes it.

Hello again!
Thanks for the clarifications : D I actually did watch the first one or two episodes of Deadman Wonderland with a friend before we both decided it wasn't quite our cup of tea. I reached the point where he decided to save the weird albino girl instead of the ball in the Dog Race? Anyhow... All your edits seem good, everything is top notch! The blood manipulation in form of locusts took a very interesting turn, I like it!
Just a minor question: will the guard trailing Nora simply be an emotionless NPC or will you eventually be making a profile for him? As long as he doesn't start going on his own adventures and sticks to Nora stalking job, you shouldn't be needing a side profile for him : )
I appreciate and would like to thank you for all the effort into answering my questions and editing Nora's profile! Nora is approved and sorted to Wyvern!
Please wait for her dorm, meanwhile you may begin posting!

ғeel free to call me . . . Calarneth, but I prefer to be called Cal for short.
υnless you're blind, you should see that I'm . . . female. Can't you tell by my ears?
чou think I'm what age? No, I'm . . . Twenty Three. You may think I look a bit young, but if you took my class you'd realize this is quite average for a female gnole.
α lot of people say I'm . . . a bit on the quiet side. I tend to be very blunt and honest, or so I'm told. That's pretty normal for my pack though. Some people would describe me as the emotionless type, but I am inclined to disagree. I just think there's little value in over expressing yourself. Any feelings that could be delivered via yelling or cheering could also simply be said.
can you blame me for what I am now? After all, I grew up . . . in the fey wild. I'll try to summarize what exactly that is. The best way you could probably describe it would be another dimension in which evolution occurred drastically differently from this one. Magical beasts roamed the land alongside nomadic tribes of the more sentient creatures such as myself. Much more hunter gatherer than it is here, that's for sure.
I've always had a particularly high affinity for magic. In-fact most of my brothers and sisters couldn't even cast anything. Whenever I could find a moment to spare I'd break off from the group to practice. After pretty much mastering all of the basic elemental spells I began working on the art of summoning. Without any formal training it was a pretty mysterious art. I never knew what I'd wind up getting. My personal favorite was the time I accidentally summoned a loudroary (bear) which proceeded to rampage throughout my tribe until we took it down. In retrospect the mysterious creatures I was summoning apparently came from earth.
I'm still not entirely sure what happened but one day I slipped up during a summon and wound up here. Naturally I was a bit spooked at first but it didn't take long to get used to it. Also my summoning abilities worked much more accurately while on the other side of the proverbial mirror, probably due to my fairly thorough knowledge of the wildlife of my dimension. At least it's a lot more than I know about the strange and mysterious creatures that live here.
αbilities? Yeah, I have . . . many beginner level magic abilities. All the basics like fireballs, ice bolts, magic missile. The classics. My specialty is summoning though. Being a native to the fey realm, the creatures that dwell there are pretty much second nature to me. This counts as an ability, yes?
ι adore . . . ○ Fuzzywinkles (Bunnies) ○ Skitters (Squirrels) ○ Waggles (Dogs) ○ Claws (Cats)
єvery time one of these come into my life, things just go downhill . . . ○ People bothering my ears ○ Faulty summoning circles
мy class isn't boring, really! I hope to teach . . . Care of Magical Creatures (Not 100% sure how to apply to teach that)
чou see, I'm controlled by . . . farkleralyx

Hello and thank you for the wait!
Everything looks good on Calarneth's profile and I'll approve her right away, but I'm also unsure about her teaching position because we technically have someone in that spot, except said person never quite officially claimed it.
I'll contact our Vice Captain who is in charge of Teachers to see what we can do and one of us will get back to you : )
As for her housing, if you'd please have a look at this thread and let me know which house she'd like to be placed in. Please quote me when you have decided on a house for Calarneth. Meanwhile, feel free to begin posting.
