Soooooo, there are a couple things I might as well point out for those who may be rejoining from the original RP:
1.) Anime pictures are no longer required. Honestly, I hate anime pictures, so I know I’m not going to use them. However, if you prefer anime you’re totally allowed to use 'em.
2.) There are a couple rules I removed or edited. Basically, I could see how some rules would completely kill and RP or I just didn’t agree with 'em. Therefore, their gone.
3.) A couple other things are edited and I do plan to make a description of the school some time tonight or tomorrow.

I am slightly confused on the whole "illusion" thing. I found a fairy tale I want to use "The Boy and the Wolf", but since part of it involves a boy changing to a wolf, I'm not sure how this would work.

There are a few exceptions for that rule. With the boy having to turn into a wolf for his fairy tale, that’s perfectly all right. What I would suggest is that he comes to the school completely normal. He cannot shape shift what so ever at the beginning. However, as time goes by, probably about half a year, he starts developing traits while he’s in his ‘Fairy tale mode’. The longer he’s there and the more training he has the more his ability to ‘shape shift’ develops. However, he can only do it when he’s in his fairy tale mode and the ability will take a long time to develop. This only works with fairytales that specifically have to shape shift. Though, with human characters that their fairytale characters remain human, they’d have to change these things with human substitutes, like heals and makeup and hair dye.

.::The King of Thieves::.  b a s i c i n f o r m a t i o n Hello, My name is

How I Normally Look
Schraeder prefers to dress rather sharply. That is to say, crisply ironed pants, a collared shirt (usually with the sleeves pulled up), and either a tie or a vest (or both). He likes his glasses to be clean and my clothes to be neat.
That is not to say that he doesn't own any casual clothes. Schraeder does have several pairs of jeans and some T-shirts. The only thing that stands out about them is that they are fitted; that is, rather on the tighter side, as far as clothing goes.
Fairytale Appearance
It's pretty similar to his casual appearance; he doesn't like too much to have to carry with him. Still, his Fairytale attire is a bit more expensive, since he wears it to balls and such. Generally, it consists of the colors black and silver. A crested shirt, gilded vest, things like that.
The best parts of his outfit, though, are his boots and his only cape. Most Fairytalers have a few, but he likes to have just one. The boots come to his knees, black and accented with silver. The cape is silk, also black and bearing a picture of untold fortunes and other interesting tales in silver. The cape is a actually a visual history of Schraeder's past, though it is much more dramatic. All in all, very regal.
y o u o u g h t t o k n o w
How I am
Interested in turning a profit and protecting his own, Schraeder is known to be ruthless in the pursuit of gain. Intelligent, witty, and quick, he can take what he wants and do it with style. He believes himself to be superior to others, but he will take on (expendable) underlings in order to make things easier.
He's a born leader, a master planner, and a devious trickster. Still, he holds to his Thief's Honor, and he does have standards. Killing, however, is not one of them. He has an inferiority complex and he has to be the best at whatever he tries.
How I came to be
He never knew his parents. Schraeder was, as is typical of most thieves, an orphan, and he grew up learning all he knew on the streets. Though every effort was made to place him in a suitable foster home, Schraeder would either run away, or drive his foster family away until they sent him back. Driven by a need to be the best, he taught himself to read, write, and almost everything else that a normal kid learns, all while transiting between homes.
The only constant to Schraeder as he moved around the city was the presence of the gangs, which he joined at a very young age. He was sharp, a quick learner; others quickly grew to respect Schraeder. He took control of the various street gangs and whipped them into shape. Just as he was settling in as the leader of the city's gangs, he was approached by the Academy.
"King of Thieves, huh? Sounds interesting." With that, he left his gangs behind, bringing the few possessions he had and heading to the Academy. He left with the belief that if he could claim the title of King of Thieves, as was promised, then he could truly be the indisputable best.
He left a few trusted Lieutenants behind, but he does not expect to return to any group similar to what he left behind. Fully expecting them to be at each others' throats, Schraeder arrived at the Academy with a gloomy mood that never really dispersed, because he knew that everything he had worked for would be unraveled.

There's something else you ought to know
He's prone to violent outbursts. He also respects women, for reasons that he has never revealed. .::Jokerman-EXE::.((My real hair is dark brown and slightly shaggy. I need a haircut.))

 ..: <------[Elliptic Sin]------> :..Hiya!
I'm just popping in here to say that I'm planning on joining this RP. Though I'm still going to finish my old profile over there before I move it over here. The 'history' is kinda kicking my butt and the character appearance description is a little too....flowery for my liking, but other than that there's a few tweaks I need to do and then I'm ready to go.
So don't count me out yet! ♥

I love your profile, but there’s one thing that needs tweaking.
You bio is a tad unrealistic. You make it sound as if he practically lived on the streets. That may have been possible when our country just started, but no in the 21st century, we have a foster care system that prevents that. What I suggest is you being in the foster care system but never fully adopted, for reasons who knows. Invent something. You were switched the schools and homes, and had to practically teach yourself to read and write. Then you can say that he started getting into gangs at like a young age (lets say 10?) And by 14 whipped them back into shape? (Because, with the way a child is built, no matter how strong they are, they can’t do that till they’re like 14). That gives your character more depth and also makes it easier to write a far more interesting and realistic bio. I don’t care if you use what I said exactly, just use something that’s realistic enough for the Academy to come and find you. Because face it, if you were raised on the streets you wouldn’t have survived the age three and the Academy wouldn’t know you even if you did.
I love your character though! He has one of those personalities that would be perfect to roleplay with.
And, take your time. I have to completely restart my profile because I realized that mine totally broke the rules :/ I read ‘em, but obviously not close enough. Oh well.

I`m debating if I should reuse Shiro- with a fair amount of tweaking, of course - and a real pb C: I`m also thinking if you prefer real people, you should probably just make it a rule, like most roleplays do, so we have a less of a chance of clashing style- but that`s just an idea :3

How I Normally Look
Because Sierra is from a rich family, she likes to wear classy clothing (collared button up shirts and nice slacks/skirt). She usually wears dark clothing, consisting of black and jewel tones. She is always seen wearing high heels, which makes her 5’10”. She keeps herself in tiptop shape – because she eats healthy and jogs, she has a very thin waist. She has that thin (not scarily) model look that seems to be popular among high class society.
She has pale skin with no physical blemish (as her parents paid for expensive cosmetic creams) except for the occasional tick mark on her forehead. On her heart-shaped face sits hazel eyes that turn a dark green when angered. Though she’s pretty enough not to even need it, she wears make up and checks it a few times a day to fix it. She keeps her hair layered and loose – she dislikes doing anything to it because it is difficult to keep perfect when in an up-do (it’s a lot easier to just grab a brush). It is long however (it ends under the bust), so she always carries a brush in her purse. When really irritated, she has a habit of brushing her hair.
Fairytale Appearance
When Sierra transforms into the Queen, she still maintains her dark clothing, except now she wears a fancy black dress. To offset all the black, she wears different shades of red. Her dresses tend to be lacy and long-sleeved with a wide V neck (shoulder to shoulder). When needed, she has a red cape with a black fur trim. She has a gold crown encrusted with rubies and diamonds of various sizes. Her jewelry consists of a gold wedding band surrounded by diamonds, a silk ribbon choker with a smooth oval ruby, and a pair of simple gold ball earrings.
Her long hair is put into a high bun with gel to keep it hard and stiff. Her eyes are lined thick to show off her green eyes. Her skin is powdered beige so that she has a sickly color skin. Her lips are a deep red. The point of the queen is to be a darker version of Snow White who is as white as snow, lips red as blood, and hair black as ebony. When time comes for the queen to disguise herself, heavy make up is put so that her skin becomes a wrinkled yellow and her lips are chapped and pale. Sierra must think happy thoughts so that her eyes turn brown; however, she’s never really happy, so her eyes are murky rather than warm brown.
y o u o u g h t t o k n o w
How I am
Sierra is a very cold and harsh person. She is an absolute perfectionist in everything she does and therefore expects the same from everyone else. She holds a professional air about her and emits seriousness. Normally Sierra is quiet, but when forced to speak, she speaks softly and curtly. She tends to push people away from her with her uncaring attitude. Sierra has no problem using people to her advantage, though she has never lied in order to get her way. She merely omits certain parts. It is hard to tell when she seems angry or happy because she maintains a stoic face. The best way to tell how she’s feeling is through her eyes.
Though Sierra shines with what seems like confidence, in all honesty, she is one of the most insecure people around. Because she came from a rich family, she was taught to be perfect; that pushed her to the brink of depression because she was never complimented on all of her achievements. She would push herself hard to get a single compliment. She is extremely intelligent and knows this; what she doesn’t know is how people view her. It doesn’t matter whether she’s loved or hated, but so long as she’s considered the best, she’s content.
When she’s by herself, Sierra sings. She took singing lessons as a child and is a decent singer. It helps her relax, and in that rare mood, Sierra is a humorous (albeit sarcastic) person. She makes witty remarks and actually lets people close to her. To her friends (well, if she had any), she is loyal to a fault and will do anything she can to help them. She is a snarky character who goes to the very ends of earth for what she considers valuable.
How I came to be
Her parents did not marry out of love, but out of expectation. Her father was rich while her mother held high status. Sierra was an only child and was taught to always retain her cool. She was spoiled and got anything she wanted. She was a princess. With the gift of being a princess, she also had the curse.
The older she grew, the stricter her parents became. Where they once ignored having a daughter, they started to tell her exactly what to do and how to do it. Because she wanted her parent’s recognition, she did all they said. When that wasn’t enough, she worked harder to be everything a well brought up girl should be. She sang beautifully, was intelligent and very lovely…still this was not enough for her parents. It was her nanny that told her to stop pushing herself to death – that her parents would never notice her. Sierra denied it.
When her family got word of her becoming a fairy tale character, they were pleased at the news. Sierra hoped that she would be Snow White; however, she instead was chosen for the Evil Queen. Her parents became dismissive, and Sierra was torn between sorrow and rage. She had to play the part of the woman considered SECOND BEST, something that she was not at all familiar with. When her parents ridiculed the part, Sierra snapped. She decided to put forth her all to become the perfect Queen; since her parents thought her unworthy of anything good, then she’d become the worthiest and best of all evil queens.
She studied furiously and kept up her social etiquette. She learned politics and how to be a good leader. From business to arts, she worked the point of exhaustion. What she never understood was beauty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and it’s something that she knows she cannot control. That’s why she always keeps up with the latest fashion; she strives to be the perfect girl. Her rich background gave her the regal aura needed to be a queen. In the deepest parts of her heart, she still wishes to be Snow White, but she knows that there’s no changing her part.
s o m e o t h e r i n f o r m a t i o n
There's something else you ought to know
She hates pretty girls.
She's good with financial things and has decent business sense. She enjoys dabbling in the stock market. .::Isa-sama::.Black, waist-length hair.

..: <------[Elliptic Sin]------> :..AHH! DON'T LOOK AT IT! ITS PRACTICALLY NAKED!!!! >_<
Lol, but thanks for the constructive criticism. To be honest I like characters with his type of personality too, which explains the reason why I tend to gravitate toward characters that are a bit...beyond the normal. But as for the profile in general, the ideas aren't really something to take by face value. If anything its more like a dart board that I'm throwing ideas at with the hope that it will stick. In the end his physical appearance [as I state in the 'extra information' slot] might take a complete 180 or even evolve into something a little more...tame. It really depends on my state of mind and the extent of my creativity...which may or may not be a good thing.
The thoughts on the bio though....I could really use that. I knew from the start that I didn't want my character to be a cookie cutter 'pretty boy' from another rich family from the start. But I have to admit that I had some serious trouble placing my general idea into the right frame. Or at least not without it being so out of the norm that he might as well be a alien from another planet...♥
