Name: Amelia Meridiana Morelli-Constantine
Nicknames: Ridia
Gender: Female
Age: 17-18 In Physical and Mental.

Faction: Daemon
Race: Succubus ( Spiritually Evolved Type )
Spiritually Evolved Type: These are special spiritual beings that are attracted to those that reach a high level of inner alignment. They can tell you many secrets of the universe and are very old and wise. These are to be targeted after you have mastered the art of meditation and summoning.

Natural Ability: Accessing a piece of knowledge of the universe when summoned through someone whom has a strong self will and abilities. Or ,The natural ability of illusions.

Personality: She had been through a lot with her family and now that she has none that wish to care for her. She finds herself being very 'untouchable' in the sense of. Emotion, Physical, and self. Others will see it as a 'superior' complex but really she will be put off and have a lot of walls up and around so she no longer has to 'feel' again. This unattached/distant feeling to the world makes her solely try for herself now instead of others. She is at the point in life, that she doesn't care not two boogers what someone else has to say. No matter how destructive. When in school- some can be intimidated by her knowledge ( from her races power to access knowledge ) that she can come off as a know it all. She is wise beyond her years and seems to find herself commenting now in a 'passing' way. Deep down, she is a very dedicated individual and would love to believe in 'friendship' and learn how to deal with one. She secretly wants to be 'wanted' and 'useful', and not bashed for her knowledge or thrown away. Someone to break down her walls and see her for the one was before all the pain changed her.

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? "After my prized older brother left home, my parents didn't see a reason to stay. So they left me. I didn't really have another choice." - Ridia
Basically she was living in a huge mansion by herself. So she sought out to school to find self 'fulfillment' and become 'useful'.

FEAR Ability: Her overdrive I can see- being inception/illusion. Diving deep in to someone's fears and pulling their inner horrors out and using it as her weapon. The older she gets, the more she can hold it at bay and even make it physical as well. Or- have it spread and deceive more than one person at a time.


Physical Description: She has curves. Serious curves, and has a bust on her. Its in her heritage ;3. What can I say. She is 'fashionable' and doesn't care showing some body. Her trends show off a lot, and its mostly the norm styles of TiH. She likes to wear whites and blacks but never reds.

Sometimes, if fashion calls for it- she can wear other colors but NEVER Red or any red variation.

o Horns ( can be pointed upwards or pointed backwards/ however looks best )

AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM

Name: Lament
Nicknames: Lala
Gender: Nongendered
Age: ~16

Faction: Ghost
Race: Poe -- Poes are ghosts, formed expressly from extremely concentrated negative emotion. Their "souls" are carried with them in brightly glowing lanterns; a Poe cannot be separated from their lantern at any point in time. They generally bear little to no resemblance to the human that formed them beyond their general physical age--a female teenage human could totally become a male teenage Poe. They feed off natural emotional ambiance, and it causes no particular emotional drain on their surroundings. Poes have an aversion to all light that does not originate from their own lanterns, and have been known to fly into rages and attack people who introduce lights into their natural environment. Most Poes are named after musical terms as a matter of respect to their forefathers, Sharp and Flat.

Natural Ability: Intangibility -- Poes can, with practice, cause their bodies to become almost completely incorporeal for short amounts of time. Beginning Poes can hold this for no longer than twenty seconds, but the time which they can hold this state will increase with practice. They cannot be seen nor touched in this state. Their lanterns, however, stay 100% corporeal--because their "soul" and most of their FEAR is concentrated there, it's very difficult for a Poe to cause it to fade even the smallest bit. Only very old Poes can fade their lanterns.


Personality: The emotion that brought the Poe known as Lament to life was shame; xie reflects this in xir manner and attitude. Xie is prone to sarcasm when xie speaks and always--always--defers to others, no matter how stupid xie thinks they're being.

For all that xie isn't yet old enough to strike out on xir own, Lament is as world-weary as any Halloweener twice xir age. Xie feels profoundly that just about anything xie does is useless, and resistance is just a matter of making xirself feel... less useless. It's useless to question (xie won't get an answer anyway) and wastes time that could be spent by xirself, being useless in a way that doesn't get anyone in trouble, including xirself.

Xie doesn't have much tact, which only complicates matters more. Xie is a Poe, born from shame, and it doesn't help matters at all that xie so often finds that xie has embarrassed xirself. An encounter with Lala can be completely mortifying for both parties, or completely enlightening, depending on the other party's ability to overlook sometimes-paralyzing awkwardness. Most people need to learn how to state their mind; Lament has to learn silence, and xie is trying. Lament is uncomfortable in xir own skin, and doesn't quite understand xir powers and only has the most rudimentary understanding of where xie is and what xie is meant to be doing.

However, when encountered in the right mood, it can be a lot of fun to hang out with Lament. Xie truly enjoys physical activity, and can be a great team player as long as no one expects xir to take the spotlight. Xie has a great sense of storytelling and though xie's not a big reader by any stretch of the imagination, xie likes hearing and exchanging stories. Xir memory for stories and anonymous trivia is massive and populated with shitty puns, and xie has no problem with sharing them at any time with little to no provocation. Xie is also a great person to have along on a camping trip, being a great source of light in dark places.


Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? Lala is a fairly new Poe; xie manifested only a month ago, and has been enrolled in Amityville so xie can learn about xir abilities and responsibilities as a member of Halloween Town. Can't have a ghost wandering around who doesn't know Jack, right?

FEAR Ability: Nocturne [Functions as The Mind]
Lowers the opponent's accuracy by using the natural Poe tendency to try to turn out lights that are not their own lanterns. With concentration, Lala will douse lights around xir, lowering the opponent's chance to strike.


Physical Description:

Eye Colour: Bright orange or yellow
Hair Colour/Style: Any darkish color suiting the design, but not flat black or dark grey. As for design, I am torn between long and loose or in some kind of simple undo.
Skin Colour: Black or dark grey
Clothing Style/Colours: Xie should have a hooded cloak, and preferably a really modest style of dress. Xir skull pin could totally be the clasp for this?
Extra: LANTERN. Xie must have xir lantern, since it's actually part of xir body, but size and design is completely up to the artist. Also, xie should probably be kind of intangible compared to xir lantern.
References: I don't have any design sketches really but THIS IS A MAJORA'S MASK POE which is what I'm basing this stuff off of. I'll be happy with just about anything that sort of calls back to this?

AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM

Name: Usami
Nicknames: Usa, Bunny, Idiot, that damn rabbit
Gender: Female
Age: 15

Faction: Demon
Race: Familiar

Natural Ability:
Uncontrolled Summon: All familiars can be (unwillingly) summoned by their master. Their skills and abilities are usually locked by will of their master: it is difficult for them to relearn them again.

Personality:
+ Lazy & Mellow: Usami enjoys naps: daytime naps, in between classtime naps, during classtime naps. More likely than not, she's found dozing or on the verge of it. And if she's awake? She tends to take everything in stride. Seemingly nothing upsets the little demon...
+ Psychotic: ... except.. There are times when Usami feels that something is out to get her. Some strange creature wanting to bind her to its will. Whenever Usami feels these urges, she snaps and is quite happy to use weapons and get herself bloody. This is what makes her scary and formidable.
+Deceptive: Usami allows others to think that she is a worthless excuse of a demon: too cute and too lazy to think that she's going to attack back. The girl has her list of people to pay back. She'll use all of this to her advantage ...
+ Procrastinator: .. at some point ... after this nap. Eh.
+ Obsessive: Usami is obsessed with two things: baking and mixing drinks. She can make a pretty mean dessert and an even meaner Mai Tai. Some might think that her mellow nature is because she's too drunk to care. Yet, she rarely drinks - only sipping to test her new concoctions. Should anyone talk about baking or mixology, her eyes light up and she's pretty darn happy.
+ Unhappy: Her witch mistress bound her against her will, thinking that Usami's mixing and baking skills would lead her to the elixir of life just like the Jade Rabbit of legend. Thing is.. the witch may be right. Usami wants to mix potions. She wants friends too. But that damn witch is so damn controlling.

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?
Usami's witch mistress would love to harness the demon familiar's power! But Usa is just so damned lazy and unwilling. She needs to be whipped into shape... and the witch is willing to pay out the nose with favors and money just to get what she wants: that powerful elixir.
Usami herself just wants to be out of the witch's territory, even if for a little while. And if she can find these things called 'friends' in the meantime and learn to mix potions, even more the better.

FEAR Ability:
Night of the Lupus: Under major duress, Usami can draw out the darkness within her soul to create shadow rabbits. These dangerous bunnies gang up on and engulf their prey, stunning the victim just long enough for Usami to pull out her twin swords or mace and give a good stabbing/whacking.


Physical Description:

Eye Colour: Brown.
Hair Colour/Style: Long curly pink hair in twin lolita tails mimicing that of a rabbit.
Skin Colour: Pale white.
Clothing Style/Colours:
Usami's dress usually includes an apron of some kind, with some sort of rabbit theme. Sometimes that's the only thing she wears besides her red bloomers. She tries to keep them all clean but finds that it's hard to get out the blood stains. :< Her colors depend on her mood: white for normal and oranges/blacks for when she's paranoid.
She is fond of stuffed animals and mini-pets that resemble really strange rabbits. Cute skulls or dried flowers adorn her hair.
The key she always wears around her neck is the symbol of her contract with her mistress.
Usami carries (if allowed) two swords, as well as a mace strapped to her leg.


Extra: Rabbit ears, heart-pronged demon tail with a ribbon, horns, red bat wings.

AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLMENT FORM

Name: Millefiori
Nicknames: Mille , Fi
Gender: Female
Age: 15

Faction/Race Demon

Personality: Mille is all about being the center of attention. She doesn't necessarily crave friendship or approval, but she loves to know that her name is constantly being spread. She wants the fame. She almost craves it, it's a sick obsession of hers. She'd do anything to be able to scare the brains out of a large crowd, no matter the means.

Her mind is unstable, always pondering the next big stunt or performance, after-all, a gal has to keep her face out there. (And the emotions and reactions from other students to her escapades are a tasty snack to a Succubus, no doubt heart ) Not one to share the spotlight, she pushes away the idea of having many friends, preferring to keep a tight-knit circular of friends, if at all that.

When Spoken to, she may come off as snobbish and uninterested. And that's because she is uninterested unless it involves academics or herself, so it's safe to say she is conceited.

However, she'll put on quite an act for boys, batting her eyelashes and putting out seductive body language, always teasing male classmates and trying to make them feel as attracted as possible to her, making them easy targets in battles later..

She does have a soft-spot, though. Mille is what you can call the "Class Whore", She enjoys dating, not necessarily for physical attention, but she wants to be seen. And she knows on the arms of a hunk, she'll definitely be seen & envied.

•Mama,Papa?; Mille comes from an average family of Succubi. Her mother, often trapping monks and priests in their sleep, is notorious for preying specifically on the sexually deprived. While her father, well, he got what he could and accepted it. Her household was caring, considering the lewdness of the Succubi race, and Mille aspires to be like her parents, except be greater, grander, more renowned for her 'acts'. She loves her parents, but at the end of the day, she sees them as a goal. A Goal to surpass them.

•Hobbies; Millefiori enjoys dancing, more specifically flamenco. Often, from her dorm room you can hear the sound of her tap shoes clicking, in a rhythmic four-beat song. Along with that, her record-player is constantly playing repeating the same few records of spanish-guitars and moorish influenced singers. Perhaps Mille will be the founder of an Amityville performance group? (EVERY SCHOOL NEEDS A DRAMA CLUB. OKAY? OKAY. :|)

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?
Mille is enrolled in Amityville Academy to gain some social status as a Succubus, mostly. She wants to be known from the moment she walks in the doors & for years after she leaves.

(-Gym ? [a dance would enjoy it. lul.]
-And Potions & Plants
-Illusionary Artes 101)




FEAR: Mille uses her dance to 'enchant' or 'daze' her victims into a sort of victim, being a Succubus, she draws on the emotional aspects of sexuality and love to ******** with her victim psychologically. Meaning, as she dances her Flamenco, the victim begins to watch, and slowly, the scene morphs into they're crush/boyfriend/husband/partner/WHATEVER. The longer/more intense the dance get, the more in-depth the vision gets (Meaning, it'd go from a vision of them interacting with another person, to them talking directly to them, this, of course, would be a hallucination.). Mille would change the perspective of the enemy to become friend, making them believe that Mille could be trusted. And that's when she would strike.

Weaknesses: Since Mille has to literally dance for survival, using her FEAR would be exhausting, especially once she became a Year 3, and her opponents would be difficult. Another obstacle is as a Year 1, her dancing and illusions wouldn't be strong, meaning she herself would have to 'whisper' into her victims ear as she produced these illusions with her dancing, making it difficult to balance weaving an illusion and convince her enemies she's their friend.

•Natural ability:

Feedin' on yer love?;Succubus'/Incubus' can feed on emotions of others. I was thinking (along with a suggestion from ruri,) that perhaps she can use her performances as an outlet to gain some emotions to feed on. At first, it'd only be a minor amount, but with some practice and growth as a Succubus, I believe she'd be able to literally feast on emotions, eventually.

Physical Description:
Eye Colour: life-less white
Hair Colour/Style: Her hair should be jet black, with sheen. It'd be pulled up into a bun with a rusted metal hair piece securing the bun in place (Like traditional flamenco dancers)
Skin Colour: White, with pink hues on the cheeks(as if she put on very subtle amounts of rouge), her lips, would be red (like, lipstick red.) with a small mole just above it.
Clothing Style/Colours: Dressed like a Spanish flamenco dancer, Mille's garment is a blood-red, with black lace ruffles. She wears a dead,wilted rose in her hair at all times (replacing them daily before she leaves her dorm. It's part of her daily ritual). Her shoes are muddy and worn down tap-heels, with a rusted silver buckle. In her hands, she holds a black ripped lace fan (ripped meaning it's fully functional, but the lace has wholes, as if caught on a fence at one point)
Extra:
Black rose-thorn like protrusions poking out of her arms/shoulders, and on her legs. (Ripping through her garment and ripping up her fish-nets, to create a more... demon-esque look.)

<-Use this pin for both her fan and for the pin. :3

AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM
[Quest Thread]

Name: Kashiyoru
Nicknames: Perv, Kashi
Gender: Male
Age: 17

Faction/Race Ghost/Hitodama

Personality: Kashi is rather... cruel. He lives to bring others 'bad luck'. He'll go to great lengths to trick someone and even spend days putting his plans into action. He's almost obsessive over it.

Kashiyoru is a bit sarcastic and may seem very egotistical, but, inside, he's just a little uncertain of himself. He compensates by flirting with nearly everyone he meets. On the rare occasion he will actually be-friend someone and he is fiercely loyal to them. They are also the only ones he'll lower his guard around.

Kashiyoru is not one to take orders, but he also doesn't give orders often either. He prefers to simply work alone and go with the flow. But, if put in a position of power, Kashi would, more then likely, slack off until he's needed, then attempt to do everything himself.

Kashi is not much of a fighter. If fact, he isn't physically strong at all. He'd rather look for the best way to escape. Even if he manages to get backed into a corner he'll try to find a way out without having to get violent. He's usually agile enough to keep from getting into such a situation, but it's not unheard of.

Hobbies? Oh yes, Kashi has them. He loves to dance and he prides himself on his flexibility. Sadly, he doesn't preform for just anyone. It's a privilege you'll have to earn. Another, more well known, hobby of his is his time spent planing the downfall of all those who oppose or irritate him. These plans can range from buckets of water in door frames to being lead over a large cliff. It just depends on the strength of his hatred for that person.

Kashi lives for long hot baths, classical music, naps and a good back rub. Despite his constant innuendos and flirting, he does long for someone to be magnanimous with, though he's not exactly actively looking for that someone.

Backstory~

Kashiyoru was once a well known fox in the human world. Unlike a Kitsune, Kashiyoru doesn't have the ability to grow more tails. The number of tails he has was determined by how many times his tails split before he reached puberty. His species is often confused with the rare and powerful 'Kitsune'. The type of multi-tailed fox that Kashi is, is a very docile creature; they prefer to remain far away from civilization and flee at the first sign of another presence. Only a select few are born with any type of magical ability, none of which is very powerful.

Unlike his fellow fox brethren, Kashiyoru grew very bored of being alone and hidden away. (Though he still retains his dislike of being physically violent.) He terrorized shrines, defaced statues and stole priceless artifacts. For many years he roamed the living world and was deemed a horrible menace, a monster to be dealt with. Many villages and towns offered a high price for his head, but Kashi proved to be a slippery one indeed.

One day a new plan was formed. An animal trainer, and circus performer, was called in. With the aid of a trained fox they set out for Kashi's demise. The young fox befriended Kashi, with much effort, and one day challenged him to see who could steal a secret and rare artifact from a hidden temple the quickest. Kashiyoru agreed to this, loving nothing more than to show off his skills. They set off to, what appeared to be, an abandoned temple. Kashi slipped and slithered his way through the old building. When he made it to the center room, he could smell the humans hiding there. Try as they might, they could not catch him. When the young fox turned up, Kashi trusted him to watch his back. The young fox pretended to get captured and, when Kashi went to his aid, he freed himself and latched onto Kashi's throat. With one crushing motion, the great Kashiyoru's story in life ended.

When Kashi arrived to the town of Halloween he could not explain the felling of betrayal or the hurt inside. Despite the pain he moved forward to explore this world before him.


Until Kashiyoru was seven (ghost years), he was unable to manifest himself into his humanoid form. He's spent the last ten years in his human form. It takes up quite a bit of his energy though, so it's not too uncommon to see him napping in his true form. Despite the toll it takes on him, he enjoys his looks and is willing to expend energy to keep them.

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? Kashiyoru is still new to the whole 'being a ghost' thing. He's looking to control his abilities more and to know more about who and what he is.


FEAR: Blue Fire

Year One: ((The Mind)) Kashi fills what ever room he's in (or up to an area of eight square feet) with an illusion of blue fire. It doesn't burn anything it touches and is purely a means of distraction so he has a chance to escape, or make it difficult to see him. He can also use it to frighten others away, if he feels that they'd be afraid of fire.

Year Two: ((Headlights)) The fire now gives off a small amount of heat and he can fill an area up to thirteen square feet. He can also form small foxes with the fire. (They're more of a distraction and, other than bounce around in the way of the opponent, they don't do much else..)

Year Three: The fire can now burn and be used as a weapon. He can also now fill an area of 35 square feet. His fox 'companions' can now lift/move things for Kashi, or attack if they feel provoked.

Natural Ability: He can change from his human form to his fox form at will. Though his fox form is mostly for sneaking and resting.



Physical Description: 6'1" often surrounded by blue/white Hitodama and he's almost always smirking.
Eye Colour: Black
Hair Colour/Style: White, long length. (Artist freedom when it comes to style.)
Skin Colour: Pale/actual white. Almost a pale blue glow to it.
Clothing Style/Colours: His clothing is mostly white with pale blue markings and accents. Asian/Japanese in style. He often wears a small scarf or collard shirt to hide the bite shaped bruise that refuses to go away. (Outfit is only limited by artist imagination. Though, I am willing to get refs. if the artist isn't in a creative mood. XD)
Extra: Has eight pale blue fox tails (all are white tipped); pale blue with medium blue (white at the hottest point) flame tipped fox ears. He has long nails and sharp toenails, as well as he never wears shoes.
References: None at the moment.

NAME OF STUDENT OR HUNTER AND THEIR JOURNAL LINK: Willow Voltaire
Proof of exam thread: Using Trial Credit [[M][x] Famine Sandcastle (Team SplashAttack) | [M][x] War Obstacles Thread (Team SplashAttack) | [M][x] Death (Team SplashAttack)]
Any Y2 specifications?
Okay so what I have here is a basic guideline of what's happening. The reference chart I've supplied you don't have to follow to a T. Stripes can be altered as the artist desires as long as they look somewhat like tiger stripes. This is the basic color chart from Y1 > Y3 of how Willow's fur color is to change + striping pattern (again feel free to do as you wish with the striping, it's just a rough guide for commission/character sheet reasons).

Willow has gone from your Normal Bengal Tiger to a Golden Tiger coloration (Golden Face Detail) for year two.

She also now has scaring from the famine flowers and vines on her left hip trailing down a lot like this pony's cutie mark on the hindquarter. Feel free to work with this the best you can if the left side is visible. (Sorry I haven't gotten a ref sheet for this yet.)

Her year 1 outfit was this. I'm debating on sticking with a simple 'shrine priestess' theme or dipping more into a lolita or asian fashion for her. If I go with a Miko theme something like the following example: Veiw 1 veiw 2 view 3 With either the Miko skirt or the pants, and spiced however the artist would like.

Another outfit option would be the lolita-style in either kimonos or 'traditional' lolita-goth.

If the artist wants to go with the Wa-Lolita style perhaps something like the following outfits:

Lolita Qi Pao | Pink Lolita Kimono style | Simpler Red Lolita Kimono Style | Flower Lolita Kimono style

Or if more traditional lolita outfits work maybe something like:
Haruhi gothic Lolita style | Red and black Lace Lolita style | Wonderland Lolita style | Card Captor Sakura Lolita style | Purple Lolita Dress

Of course there's always the traditional Asian clothing with are much simpler and styles like the following could also fit Willow:
Fur trimmed Chinese style shirt | Chinese Qi Pao | Simple Chinese dress | Black and red kimono | Traditional Qi Pao | Chinese Hanfu white and blue | Chinese Hanfu blue | Chinese hanfu warrior | Chinese hanfu pink/purple/white

The Chinese Hanfu's also have a style where they come to the knee, if the artist is interested in doing something like that, but wants a shorter version so that they can show off shoes/accessories. I just couldn't find a good example of those.

Willow most commonly prefers clothing in the colors of blue, purple, red, and white. However she'll wear anything that is not pink or orange.

She also likes to accessorize with arm warmers, leg warmers, belts, and other such items. However, it's rare for her to actually wear jewelry unless it's a special occasion.

For her hairstyle the artist is free to style it how they wish. It can be all down, some put up into buns, all up or however the artist wishes as long as her hair appears long enough to reach down near her butt or a little longer. Her hair color is a black/dark brown color. Her eyes are to stay an ice blue color.

If there are any questions or concerns the colorist is free to contact me via pm or aim if they have my aim name.

AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM

Name: Thanatos
Nicknames: Than, ThanThan
Gender: Male
Age: 16

Faction: Demon
Race: Fae-Hound (Wild Hunt) - As a Fae-hound, Thanatos' most ancient traceable ancestor was a Unseelie Fae (Night Court), of purest blood who once angered the Queen of Underhill. Cursed to take hound-form, he was sent to harry the souls of those she scorned each night on the Wild Hunts (The Wild Hunt is controlled by the Queen of the Unseelie Court of the Fae. And sent out to hunt those who displease her). Over the years, however, the blood has been diluted, most of the family is no longer so bound to the Queen, and some crossbreeding has occurred to create the rather eclectic mix that is Thanatos. In short, the kid is a mutt. But he is both Fae, and a Reaper of them, since that is, to an extent, what the Wild Hunt is. but his ancestors were Black Dogs.

Natural Ability: Liquid Smoke - His transforming ability, able to take his 'unnatural' forms, which include a large hound (with horns of course) and a more puppyish form as well. He can take either of them at any time, though they do require him to exercise a certain amount of his power. However, it should be noted that his human form is his natural form, and when his power is depleted, he will revert back to that, and not one of his animalistic forms. He's not a werewolf.


Personality: Thanatos is the oddball. Born into a scattered, well-traveled family, it is a safe guess that he was probably dropped on his head at least once since coming into existence. Thanatos possesses an airy, almost otherworldly demeanor in the way that he carries himself, and whilst he has a rather scathing, cynical wit when he chooses to employ it, he rarely does, or it falls a touch short of his intended conveyance. Having a rather bad habit of talking to inanimate objects, he will oft get the two confused and start talking to walls like they're people, and people as though they are walls. If he does happen to realize his mistake, he will apologize profusely. He adores interacting with others, he simply isn't the most apt in doing so.

Also, he likes to look pretty, thus, despite his eccentric behavior, he tends to dress neatly, in styles of dress handed down different strains of his family line. Most predominantly oriental and medieval European. Though he is a little screwball disappointment of a reaper, he simply tries to adhere (at least visually) into the image that he believes his father desires of him. Dare to criticize his garb and you will have one fussy pup on your hands.

As one might expect from a hound, he comes bearing an intense desire to please his betters, and those that he comes to adore. This however, does not mean that he isn't easily distracted, and quite often his good intentions go awry. Also in a puppyish sort of way, he tends to drift in moods from hyper, to almost a complete, cuddly collapse. Thanatos has no concept of the personal space bubble, and usually tries to leech onto the next source of heat whenever such floppish moods overtake him. Affectionate to a fault, he'll give anyone a chance once, though if you hurt him, that chance is, perhaps, gone forever, as this is one pup who is well aware of what a grudge is, and how to sink his teeth tenaciously into one.

Not to say that Thanatos isn't intelligent, through all the airy-headedness, he is, which occasionally does surface in sharp barbs and the once in a while pointed comment. These times are few and far between, however, as he is not only very susceptible to the opinions of others, but also seems to have some trouble accessing the very large database of accrued knowledge he has attained, another indication that he isn't quite all there in the headspace. Sweet and stubborn, he doesn't let this get him down, and instead will persistently try, try and try again until he manages to get it right. Or at least passable, if you'll understand.


Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? Born from a long line of ethereal beings, most closely related to the Black Dog, but spawned from the aether for a different purpose entirely, this male was supposed to bear the title of Reaper, but has yet to really employ himself usefully as such, classified at school as a monster. An utter disappointment to his doting father, he was sent off to school in order to actually become something of use to his long and dutiful family line. Thanatos is not precisely thrilled about this, but as he loves and adores his sire in an almost puppyish fashion, he has obediently begun to attend classes in the hopes of winning approval. This doesn't mean he isn't terribly homesick, however.

FEAR Ability: Traumatic Smoke - Generated from his kiseru, the eventual nature of this 'attack' would be, naturally to glean souls, however, it currently provides the 'flashback', calling up one's pivotal memories and causing a low degree of damage. Naturally this varies from time to time, as he doesn't have expert control over it yet, and usually, the most effective use of this smoke is to call forth the most traumatic memories...however, should he fail, one might get a flashback to washing dishes, or stubbing one's toe.


Physical Description:

Eye Colour: Violet (He's got hourglass pupils, however)
Hair Colour/Style: Deep black (blue highlights? :V ), he has a lot of it, which he usually ties up half of somehow. I somehow imagine braids and cornrows in there somehow, but again...up to artist.

Personalities:

Rikiya: Rikiya's a friendly party guy who'd give his left arm and/or leg for a friend. He's loyal to the point he'd take a beating in place of someone who may/may not have deserved it, but he's not stupid enough or ridiculous enough in his desire for friends that he'd let someone get away scott-free. He may take the beating but he'll kick your a** afterward because being punished by a friend hurts less (or so he says so). He prefers to be a follower rather than a leader since if things don't go his way he doesn't want to be blamed for it, and a follower can be counted on for defense and having someone's back.

He's got a problem of making ideals for people, imagining them in a certain way and then getting super disappointed when they're not how he wants them to be. Of course he gets over it and does his best to accept them as they are but wouldn't it be more awesome if they were like he wanted? In that manner of thought he tries to get people more like his ideals but it's a work in progress and he's not really subtle about anything. It takes a lot of effort (and time) for him to accept someone as they are because he just wants things his way in the end.

Rikiya's a perfectionist when it comes to personal habits and training. He likes things to be in order and he likes certain daily routines to help keep his focus. Rikiya enjoys things like meditating and working out, constantly honing his skills in order to prove that everything his family thought about and taught him makes him a bit superior in regards of combat. He can be arrogant when it comes to fighting, more so if he wins, but he accepts defeat with a smile and a vow to get better. He's not overly fond of someone being able to dominate him in anything but it's that drive that moves him to work harder. Rikiya does enjoy a good time when it's planned out but sudden spontaneity can rattle his nerves and force his training to be tested.

Savior: Savior is as dumb as a rock and as sandy as the desert that you're likely to find said rock in. She doesn't mind. That's not to say she's entirely stupid, she's just not there in terms of common sense and book-smarts. She does well for herself though and so far hasn't gotten into a situation that she was unable to get out of on her own.

She's amazingly loyal and will go through anything for those she loves, to the point where she'll gladly have her body broken in order to defend them. Generally non-aggressive she'll take a beating without even moving to strike back, however when angered she'll stop at nothing to ensure her enemy is long dead.


Why did your human character choose to become a Hunter?
Rikiya is a descendant from a long line of “demon hunters”, or basically (as he likes to call them) a “family of people who used to be proud but now scam for money”. While there might have been a chance that back in the day his family had spiritual sense all that remains now is a run-down temple and a name that amounts to little more than a few loyal worshipers. Still he and his siblings were trained in the art of learning about demons to the point he could recite their names in his sleep, not to mention easily “identify” them from picture books. He was also trained on how to take them down, though he preferred actually fighting rather than chants, and eventually he grew bored of even that lifestyle. As a little kid he was very proud of what his family did, ignoring the taunts and words of bullies who mocked his family, though as he grew older and the shine of glory started to wear off he grew jaded.

People didn’t believe in monsters anymore since no one had seen them in a long time. Rikiya was getting in too much trouble for beating up those who ridiculed his family once the shiny nature of familial pride wore off (though on the plus side, he joined a gang who seemed to allow him the chance to do whatever he wanted). He ran wild in his early and later teen years, slowly growing bored there and settling down as he turned into a young adult. The needs of his family's temple didn’t really matter in terms of keeping it or losing it, it never seemed like a problem for him, but the passing years weren’t being kind in the way he thought they were.

A day finally came when their temple was going to be repossessed from a lack of funds and being in the red entire too long. Seeing as no one believed in demons anymore, not to mention they couldn’t provide any proof, when Rikiya’s family was close to being taken onto the streets a stranger approached and offered him a chance to save his family. All Rikiya had to do was put his “training” to use and not only would he be able to get proof and save his family, he’d be able to do the job he was born to do.

Plus he’d get an awesome new jacket, an awesome new weapon, and a whole new outlook on life.
