Personality: He has a good natured but boring personality. He's usually extremely shy when approaching other people, but acts normal if they approach him. Some people say he's emo, but he's not. He just is bored usually.

History (if your characters has one, This may increase in your stay here at Ria High): He was born in California and moved to France at age 2. He lived in Paris, but was near an open field and loved to explore in the fields outside of his home. One day, he got attacked by a bear and has a large scar on his back. But, that bear attack tapped into his energy reserves and gave him his ability to manipulate water. He fended off the bear and went to the hospital. That was 10 years ago. The winter before he enrolled in Ria, he was searching through the woods again. Just after his 16th birthday, and he was in the same spot as the bear attack. He wandered furthur in, checking for any wildlife so he could escape before he got hurt, but instead, found a large iron wrought gate with brass letters that spelled "Ria High School" The gates opened upon his arrival and he wandered into them, finding a place brimming with energy and happiness. This was where he belonged. He felt it instantly. He smiled at this new place and was questioned by an android. "Welcome to Ria High School, may I please see your acceptance letter?" he stared at the girl quietly before reacting. "May I have an application...? I found this place by mistake and..." the girl nodded and handed him a small form. He accepted the form and left. Silently filling it out and sending it in. He soon got his acceptance letter and left to the school.

Water Manipulation is a power common among Ria students. It, as obvious by the name, is the ability to command water with the mind. It can be used both offensively and defensively

Quote: One death cannot make up for a thousand lives not lived

Name: Marcus Ivanwood

Name Meaning/Nicknames: None

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Race: Human

Arts: Swordsmanship and Speed

Character Looks: Marcus isn't that much of an outstanding character to behold, that being he blends into a crowd fairly well. He stands at a height of 5'11 and weights 147 lbs. so in short he's an average build high school student. His hair is a constant black mess, however from day to day it is never the exact same mess twice. His clothing is designed to keep on despite his unnatural speed, hence all of the belts. His eyes are a pale Blue in color.

Allignment(Good, Neutral, Evil): Neutral

Personality: Marcus is the guy who really never voices his opinion on anything lest he really has some sort of interest in it, and those topics are far and few between. However he is a nice guy and tends to help others without actually thinking about it.....he has however a mean temper if you prod him enough.

History:(pre Ria) Marcus grew up in a normal household as an only chld, however he wasn't normal. At the age of 6 he first realized he had been gifted with the unusual ability of unnatural speed, topping off at an impressive 35 mph at just 6 years old! His parents seemed to think of his abilities however as a burden rather than a gift and slowly but surely begaiun to shun him. However after hearing about a certain school Marcus took it upon himself to leave his home and see if he could learn how to better his abilities, without his parents consent.

(Ria) Marcus has met many new people in the past month he has been on campus, and all in all has had a very enjoyabl time. After arriving he set about to the thing he had so saught to do, and that was train. Since he has been here his skills have improved greatly as has his confidance, thought both are still pathetic in comparison. He has met one of the only friends he has right now, Sara, and seems to be hitting it off with her very well. Besides all that he managed to get his sword reforged into a masterwork blade by a girl known to him only as Miss Rivera......he still debates as to how to properly thank her.

Any weapons/armor you have: A beaten and battered katana His katana has been re-forged into the blade Kinami,along with two large pieces of a broken longsword.

((Updated Sept 23))

Quote: "I cannot let myself show a weakness such as crying!"

Name: Kaori Parker

Name Meaning/Nicknames: None

Gender: Female

Age: 16

Race: Demon

Arts: Swordplay, fire manipulation

Character Looks: Kaori is sixteen and rather small compared to the others of her home. She's fairly thin and almost scrawny looking, only coming to five feet, six inches in height. Her hair is black, always kept in a ponytail with an orange-red bandana tied around it. Her bangs hand loose in her face, sticking from beneath the cloth on her head, and the ponytail part out of the back of it, falling to about her mid back. Her eyes are crimson, with a black slit down the middle. On her right cheek, just under the eye, is a small black marking almost like an upside down question mark, but with more zig-zag and straight lines instead of the normal loop. Her skin is very pale, never tanning. She has pointed ears and a long and narrow tail, black, with a triangular tip that never seems to keep still. Her fingernails curve into claws and every time she smiles, her fangs show themselves.
Her clothing is rather lose always, as she has a severe dislike of anything tight. Her pants are low cut and long, red and rolled up once at the bottom to show the black inside. She wears a sleeveless blue-green shirt that's fairly long and also loose, with a black short sleeved jacket over it. It has a hood, which she often finds herself hiding in to escape rather awkward or uncomfortable situations. Around her neck, hands a dragon carved of black stone on a silver chain. The eyes are red gems and she never takes it off, as it's a reminder of her mother.

Allignment: Neutral.

Personality: Kaori is a rather cheerful girl, but you have to gain her trust first. Upon first meeting someone, she is careful and untrusting, wary of past experiences, and likely to lash out or argue. Once you get past that, she is pretty happy, caring, and very curious. Sometimes she'll act rather childish as well, but dislikes being touched by anyone. She also loves to explore and gets shy rather easily concerning certain subjects. Once you've gained her trust, you've won a friend for life, as she is extremely loyal, but this can sometimes lead to over worrying about them. Sometimes she will lapse into strange silences and simply stare off into space.

History: Kaori's history is rather unpleasant. Due to her size being smaller than the normal expected in her home, she was picked on a lot. Sometimes things grew and escalated to violence. No one ever defended her, as she was an only child and her parents had died and left her all alone.
Actually, people snuck into her home one night. She'd come down, unable to sleep because she was haunted by bad dreams. When she arrived, it was just in time to see her dreams become reality, as she saw the final killing blow to her father. Her mother had already been murdered. Kaori went into a rage, and took revenge for her parents death's right then and there, using simply the dagger her mother'd given her, her claws, and her teeth. Thus, Kaori's parents were slaughtered and avenged in the same night. It was also the very first time Kaori had ever taken a life, or even been in a real fight.
She then began fending for herself, forced to steal for food and other necessities and learn to use her father's sword to defend herself. The sword was much too large for her at first, but soon she became able to lift it even in a one handed grasp. She also has a dagger from her mother and a necklace, also from her.

Any weapons/armor you have: Her father's [sword], and her mother's dagger, which is made of some strange kind of black metal. A small dragon follows her around, that goes by the name of Kei. It is red in color, with a white underbelly and glowing yellow eyes. Its head seems clad in armor and is very hard to pierce, as is its entire body. Kaori has never seen it happen before. The entire creature is only a bit larger than her head, but it can spout a good deal of fire and its fangs inflict quite a bit of damage and are very hard to remove once it's latched on.

Any items you have: She has only the necklace left by her mother. The necklace is a curled up dragon carved in black stone with red gems as eyes. It hangs around her neck on a silver chain. If she is in dire need, her necklace activates itself, as Kaori doesn't know what it can do. It will create a very strong barrier around her if she's knocked unconscious. Things can pass in if they are of no threat.

Any battle skills/magical powers you have: She recently discovered a skill for fire control, though has yet to really discover how it works. Right now, she can make small sheilds and fireballs, but too much use at once tires her out rather quickly.

Character Flaws: She has been scarred by her past, but keeps any negative feelings locked inside, just waiting to explode out of her at any time. Mainly, she lets her anger leak out the easiest, but she hasn't cried in years. This leads to random and often rather overwhelming breakdowns. Her curiostiy will often get the better of her, as she stays too long in a situation to try and see what is going on rather than retreating while she can. She is bad at just settling down and having fun, always expecting someone to attack her.

Friends in the Realm: Kai Parker, Sai Naku, Meghan Ayoma.

Enemies in the Realm: Mergex.

Lover: Sai Naku.

Pic: Pretend the tail isn't extremely horrible looking, and that is her pet dragon, Kei.

Quote:
If you cross me, I will cross you out. Permanently

Name:
Sawyer Pride

Name Meaning/Nicknames:
Sawyer was what his parents named him.

Gender:
Male

Age:
18

Race:
Fallen Divinity

Arts:
Empathy & Ritual Knowledge

Character Looks:
Sawyer has a average, lean build about himself. He stands at a height of five feet-nine inches, making him slightly short for his age but a good height. Sawyer has a bob-style hair cut; his hair being an golden blonde with red low-lights underneath. He has average white skin, and a pair of deep winter eyes. On his right arm, right before the crease of the elbow lies a ring of thorns

Sawyer is a master of layers, since it seems that he always has multiple layers of clothes on no matter what the weather. It would also seem that summer and/or winter have no effect on him either. His style constantly changes but you'll see all sorts of colors on the kid, but mostly blues, since it's his favorite color.

Allignment:
Good

Personality:
Sawyer has quite the attitude about him. Though on first impressions, he may seem quiet and nice, but once you get to know him his true colors begin to show. His nature is very on and off. He mostly tries to do good and make everyone happy, but is occasionally swept up with jealously or vengeance. He can be a real mouthy one as well, and can often be harsh and seen as a rather large b***h. But if you can work past all his cruelty, he is a very loyal and passionate person. he would die for any good soul if it would help the world.

History:
Many centuries ago, in a former life, Sawyer was a young lad in a village of farmers and harvesters. His life was average, work and play, for many years it was fine. As he grew up though, the village turned on him after he had been found out for liking men, a crime at this point in time in the village. Him and his partner we're exiled to live outside the village, though they didn't travel far, forming their own home in the woods next to the village. As time went on, other empires of power began to roam through the area and take over smaller villages. When a larger empire came to take over his former village, Sawyer stood against the empire to save the villagers and have them escape before the empire arrived. When the leader found out of Sawyer's plan, he had him slain in front of his lover.

When Sawyer awoke he was in a serene place. He was surrounded by others who explained to him that he had been chosen to help watch over the planet and carry out the will of the higher power. To do so, he had to relinquish his humanity and lock away all the feelings he ever felt for anyone. He agreed to the duty and ascended into the heavens and became a watcher of the world. For centuries he watch over the world without a problem, giving out justice among the world and aiding in the prevention of evil from engulfing the world. Finally though 18 years ago, while watching over the world ... he found his old lover. Shock that he had survived for all these years, Sawyer turned his back on his duties and began to rebel.

His fellow watchers found out of his discord and banished him, tearing the grace that had been bestowed into him and had him fall from the heavens. As he descended, they had him reborn as a mortal with the curse of empathy, the root of the crime that had brought his disgrace. For years he grew up as a normal child until he turned 13, when he began to feel the emotions of everyone around him. With no memory of his now former life or position of the heavens, he began to search for answers. After a psychic tried to help him when he was 16 and she became comatose after trying to awaken the answers inside him, Sawyer left completely. Now 18, he has slowly been receiving visions since his meeting with the psychic and has come to Ria High in search of someone maybe having an answer for him.


Any weapons/armor you have:
Sawyer has very few weapons on him. He owns a small handgun, but refuses to use real bullets, so he has a supply of rock-salt bullets.

Any items you have:
All he has are clothes that he's accumulated over many years. He has a few books on rituals and visions. He also has a photo of another man, a little older looking than him, the meaning behind it no one knows.

Any battle skills/magical powers you have:
He has been cursed with the gift of empathy. He can feel the emotions of everyone around him and when focusing on it, manipulate the emotions of people. He's also been trying to harness the power of manifesting the emotions into a physical form to help him.

he also, since having the visions, has gained some knowledge of a few rituals. What they do, he is not exactly sure, but the one he has mastered is the teleportation one.
