"Nothing up my sleeves..." ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ＴＨＥ ＲＥＳＯＮＡＮＣＥ ＳＫＩＥＳ ＦＩＬＥＳ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ｃｌａｓｓｉｆｉｅｄ ❥ｎｉｃｋｎａｍｅ: Mac. "The Marvelous Mac Macphee" "Macphee the Magnificient ❥ａｇｅ: 16 ❥ｇｅｎｄｅｒ: Male ❥ｈｅｉｇｈｔ ａｎｄ ｗｅｉｇｈｔ: 176 centimeters. Fifty-Eight Kilograms. ❥ｂｌｏｏｄ ｔｙｐｅ: AB ❥ｓｅｘｕａｌ ｏｒｉｅｎｔａｔｉｏｎ: Straight ❥ｓｔａｔｕｓ: Single ❥ｂｉｒｔｈｄａｙ: February 29 ❥ｚｏｄｉａｃ ｓｉｇｎ : Pisces ❥ａｐｐｅａｒａｎｃｅ: Mac has sandy blonde hair, but he enjoys dying it to fit whatever color scheme he currently enjoys wearing. Right now, It's Purple and Green, and carefully tousled, despite the fact that he almost always wears a hat. He's nearsighted, so he wears contacts, almost always of different, varying colors, but underneath, his eyes are an odd shade of grey. He has a decent quantity of freckles on his face,back, shoulders, and arms. He loves wearing numerous different types of clothing (usually bright colors) as long as his outfit includes long sleeves and a hat, and very often a handkerchief of some sort. wears a lot of collared shirts, blazers, cardigans, long coats, top hats, bowler hats,slim pants, and scarves. Enjoys layering, even in the warm seasons (he just heads for thiner layers) ❥ｐｅｒｓｏｎａｌｉｔｙ: Mac is a boy who enjoys the spotlight. He loves performing, being the center of attention, or just being noticed. He's quite friendly and outgoing, but he has no allusions as to just how difficult it is to make real friends. He may be cordial and good natured to most everyone he meets, but it will take a while and a bit of hard evidence before he actually considers someone a friend to be trusted. This mistrusting nature comes from the fact that Mac is not necessarily always to be trusted himself. That is to say, he has an agenda, and certainly isn't beyond a little underhanded manipulation to get something he wants. When he does make friends, he is stubbornly loyal, attempting to help them out even in situations where they may not exactly want his help (as his help can be a little destructive and disruptive... most always). ❥ｃｈａｒａｃｔｅｒ ｆｌａｗｓ: ✖ Short attention span
✖ A great big Ham
✖ Nosy
✖ Single minded - if he wants something it is very hard to dissuade him
✖ An over creative liar - has a habit of saying one thing, and meaning another ❥ e l e m e n t : Light ❥ r a n k : Sage ❥ａｂｉｌｉｔｙ:
Flash ball - user can create a flash of light that will blind anyone nearby for a few seconds. Flashes affect only the immediate area and do not do permanent damage.
Emanate - can cause objects (including living creatures) to emit faint light light. Light is similar in strength to candle light, but can become quite bright if a large enough object is lit up. Light dissipates after five or so minutes. Invisible - User can temporarily bend light in a way that causes them to almost entirely disappear. Causes a slight visual distortion that is difficult, but not impossible to detect. Can be extended over people touching the caster. ❥ｔａｌｅｎｔｓ: Sleight of hand - Is quite skilled with a large number of card and parlor tricks, I.E. Spraying confetti out of his sleeves, Making objects disappear and reappear in unfortunate places, appearing to remove his tongue.
Escape artist - good at undoing knots, picking less complicated locks (handcuffs and older doors) and solving combinations to padlocks.
He is a mildly talented ballroom dancer
❥ｂｉｏ: Mac Macphee, born Marian Brundy, was the child of Marian and Nicodemus Brundy, a pair of quite talented magicians who traveled as one of the main acts of a large carnival. Sadly, their days as a magical duo ended the day their son's birth, as the mother Marian died in labor. Grief stricken, Nicodemus named the child after her, despite his being a boy, and began to raise him while still working as a carnival Magician. And so it was that the young Marian grew up, playing with the children of the other carnies and learning from the teacher they had travel with them.
As he got older, his father grew more distant, spending less and less time with his son and more and more time absorbed in his work. He was trying to develop the ultimate escape act, one to rival the classic artists like houdini, but in doing so, he began neglecting his duties as a father. It came to pass that the only way young Marian could garner his father's attention was by learning and performing magic tricks for him. His father would either congratulate him on a job well done, or shake his head and show him how to do it right. Either way, brief as it might be, it was the attention from his father that Marian craved. For years this continued, with Marian learning as many different and complex tricks as he could, all to pry his father's attention away from his "project" for small patches of time. Eventually, seeing his skill, the owner of the carnival gave him his own show, dubbing him: "The Marvelous Mac Macphee," As Marian was... well, a girl's name.
Finally, when Mac was fourteen, his father completed his project. The most complicated (and seemingly dangerous) escape act to ever be pulled off by anyone ever, magician, escape artist or otherwise. The mechanics of the act are not widely known though, as Mac's father was killed during his first official attempt.
This rather put a damper on the whole project, which the carnival quickly scrapped. Now, fourteen year old Marian was left with no parents, and while there were several families who traveled with the carnival who were more than willing to take care of him, his father's will stated that his brother in law, mother Marian's brother was to become Marian's guardian should anything ever happen to him.
Matthias Flamel, Marian soon found, would be one of the best things to ever happen to his life. Rambunctious, a little rough around the edges, but wholeheartedly dedicated to his new responsibility, Matthias took his nephew under his wing gladly. It was there, in Matthias's strange house cluttered with fascinating odds and ends that Marian discovered a secret about his heritage. According to Matthias, the Flamel's were an old, OLD, family known for their magical aptitude. This had nothing to do with how well Marian performed his "magic tricks", but his mother... well, that was a different story.
Marian now attends the Resonance Skies Academy, as his uncle believed that a learning environment surrounded by the magically empowered of his own age range would be much more beneficial to him than being tutored by an eccentric middle aged man living in a cluttered and slightly too thin house. ❥ｌｉｋｅｓ:
✔ Clothes!
✔ Having an audience
✔ Jazz music
✔ Fireworks
✔ Trashy romance novels (they're hilarious and make great props)
❥ｄｉｓｌｉｋｅｓ:
✖ Rabbits
✖ Heavy Metal
✖ Chocolate
✖ Popcorn
✖ Boastful people ❥ｅｘｔｒａ ｉｎｆｏｒｍａｔｉｏｎ: Mac hates rabbits due to having his right hand brutally assaulted by an unspayed male during the mating season. He was trying to pull it out of a hat... and still has the scars to prove it.

Magic and Mystery ｐｒｅｓｅｎｔｓ. . . 
Penelope Thomasina Mikelovitch
ｄｅｐａｒｔｍｅｎｔ: Music
Student
"I'm... well, I could... that is.... it's um... what I'm trying to say is... I mean... ah... Hi."⋆ ⋆ ⋆ＴＨＥ ＲＥＳＯＮＡＮＣＥ ＳＫＩＥＳ ＦＩＬＥＳ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ｃｌａｓｓｉｆｉｅｄ ❥ｎｉｃｋｎａｍｅ: Penny. Twig. ❥ａｇｅ: 15 ❥ｇｅｎｄｅｒ: Female ❥ｈｅｉｇｈｔ ａｎｄ ｗｅｉｇｈｔ: 178 centimeters, 65 kg ❥ｂｌｏｏｄ ｔｙｐｅ: A Positive ❥ｓｅｘｕａｌ ｏｒｉｅｎｔａｔｉｏｎ: Gay ❥ｓｔａｔｕｓ: Single ❥ｂｉｒｔｈｄａｙ: August 28 ❥ｚｏｄｉａｃ ｓｉｇｎ : ❥ａｐｐｅａｒａｎｃｅ: Tall, with thick reddish brown hair that tends to be on the more uncontrollable side and goes down in between her shoulder blades. There's a reason she used to be called "Twig," though she is by no means unnecessarily thin. It was mostly in regards to the length of her limbs, and her height. She has soft facial features, big blue eyes, a unobtrusive brow, and a nose that might be considered slightly longer than average. ❥ｐｅｒｓｏｎａｌｉｔｙ: All in all, Penelope is a warm and affectionate person. She deeply cares for her friends and is very sensitive to their feelings, only feeling truly at peace if she knows that those she cares about are at peace as well. This is mainly due to the fact that she doesn't make friends easily, or at least she doesn't believe she does, so she tends to do anything she can to make sure that the few friends she has stick around. She really does enjoy being around and interacting with people... the only problem is that she's so shy that she often finds it impossible to do so. She tends be incredibly awkward when meeting new people, but won't hesitate to respond in a friendly manner if talked to. Most of her awkwardness comes from the fact that she tends to overthink how she should interact with people, and in overthinking, she tends to verbalize things that she probably shouldn't.
❥ｃｈａｒａｃｔｅｒ ｆｌａｗｓ: ✖Self Conscious - Especially when it comes to her physical attributes. She feels that she's too tall, or that her hair is too wild, or that her nose is just too long. She gets easily depressed if any sort of physical flaws are pointed out.
✖ High strung - She gets startled really easily
✖ Speech impediment - not so much your standard lisp or stutter. When Penelope tries to form sentences, they end up coming out... odd. The severity of how mixed up her sentences are usually rises depending on how nervous or uncomfortable she is.
✖ Easily flustered
✖Easily Swayed - She has a very hard time saying no to people. ❥ e l e m e n t : Life ❥ r a n k : Novice ❥ａｂｉｌｉｔｙ:
Martyr - user can heal more serious injuries and broken bones at the expense of their own health. When used, the caster is taking on the injury of the injured person, and bears the injury in their place.
❥ｔａｌｅｎｔｓ: Piano - Penelope is a fairly talented pianist.
Singer - Penelope is a fantastic singer, though she's too shy to sing in front of others
Bassist - Penelope can play the bass quite decently ❥ｂｉｏ: Penelope has had a fairly normal and good life, as far as lives go that is. Her parent's are still happily married. Her family has always been comfortably middle class... She's never had a relative or close friend killed by a serial murderer or anything. Nope, the only thing that could be considered abnormal about Penelope's life would probably be that her parents are both Wizards. Well, a Wizard and a Witch, respectively. Despite this, Penelope has always gone to public schools, and lived the life of a normal, non magic using child, always keeping the fact that her father would go off and settle legal cases between other magic users ( a wizard lawyer, go figure) and her mother would go and cure odd curses as her day job, a secret from her friends.
It wasn't a difficult job actually. Penelope didn't really have many friends to keep secrets from. Being an early bloomer, as well as fairly sort of really introverted doesn't lend aid to the social sides of childhood. As such, She grew up with very few friends, who didn't stay friends for very long, whether due to them moving away, changing schools, or the occasional mysterious disappearance (her parents are wizards... well, a wizard and a witch respectively) Her only constant friend was her Teddy Bear, who was her imaginary friend up until the middle of middle school.
Towards the end of middle school, she was sent to an all girl's boarding school in england. Why? Well frankly, her parent's were unsure what to do about their daughter's social inadequacies. They decided that a change in scenery, and a bit of healthy forced coexistence with other girls her age would help her to make some friends and break out of her shell. It worked to a degree. She did make friends, but once again, she was bullied due to some of her seemingly uncommon physical attributes, I.E. Her height specifically. It was also here that she realized her sexual preference... And that is all I have to say about that.
So she made friends, but ended up staying fairly shy and awkward, with a newly reinforced body issues feature attached to boot. Nice, but you know, not really. She ended up leaving the school after she began to abruptly exhibit magical qualities. This came as a bit of a surprise to her parents, seeing as she hadn't ever shown any magical aptitude up till that point, but it wasn't something they were necessarily unhappy about. They enrolled her in the Resonance Skies academy as soon as possible, sending her there to hone her newly discovered abilities. ❥ｌｉｋｅｓ:
✔ Shojo Manga
✔ Comics
✔ Stuffed Animals
✔ Jazz
✔ Tea
❥ｄｉｓｌｉｋｅｓ:
✖ Long, Dark Hallways
✖ Spiders
✖ Flirts
✖ Asparagus
✖ Scary Movies ❥ｅｘｔｒａ ｉｎｆｏｒｍａｔｉｏｎ: Penelope is a bit of a closet comic book nerd.
After spending several years at a boarding school in England, she speaks with a soft, North London Accent
She's a bit of a tea snob.
Being called Penny makes her incredibly flustered. However, she refuses to state why...

Magic and Mysteryｐｒｅｓｅｎｔｓ. . . 
Verne Montgomery
ｄｅｐａｒｔｍｅｎｔ:
Librarian
"It's way too early for this..."⋆ ⋆ ⋆ＴＨＥ ＲＥＳＯＮＡＮＣＥ ＳＫＩＥＳ ＦＩＬＥＳ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ｃｌａｓｓｉｆｉｅｄ ❥ｎｉｃｋｎａｍｅ: Verne ❥ａｇｅ: 23 ❥ｇｅｎｄｅｒ: Female ❥ｈｅｉｇｈｔ ａｎｄ ｗｅｉｇｈｔ: 5' 2" ❥ｂｌｏｏｄ ｔｙｐｅ: O ❥ｓｅｘｕａｌ ｏｒｉｅｎｔａｔｉｏｎ: Straight ❥ｓｔａｔｕｓ: Single ❥ｂｉｒｔｈｄａｙ: October 13 ❥ｚｏｄｉａｃ ｓｉｇｎ : Libra ❥ａｐｐｅａｒａｎｃｅ: Verne is... a bit interesting to look at. She's short, with a round face that's covered in freckles and a massive mane of straight red hair, which she usually ties in some form of pony tail. She is of average weight for a woman of her stature, but tends to lean more towards being overweight than underweight, and has bright green eyes. She usually wears "old people" clothes (hipster stuff really). The kinds of things a stereotypical european grandmother might wear. ❥ｐｅｒｓｏｎａｌｉｔｙ: Verne isn't lazy, just... sleepy. A generally good natured and amiable soul, she gets grumpy unless she has around thirteen hours of sleep a day. Also, she's very possessive of "her" library, and quite touchy when it comes to how the students handle the books. Outside of the library, she is fairly laid back and relaxed, albeit a bit prideful, and extremely clumsy. This means that she often does incredibly embarrassing things, and then acts like she meant to do them all along. ❥ｃｈａｒａｃｔｅｒ ｆｌａｗｓ: ✖Clumsy - She has to wear laceless shoes to prevent herself from tripping... it's bad.
✖ Prideful - She hates for people to think her a fool, so she will usually only ask for help as a last resort
✖ Phonophobic - she has a fear of loud noises
✖ Drowsy - Verne has the ability to fall asleep anywhere, and oftentimes does.
✖ Mild Cynophobia - She is terrified of any dog larger than a welsh corgie. ❥ e l e m e n t : Nature ❥ r a n k : Witch ❥ａｂｉｌｉｔｙ:
Animal Companion - this spell, once successfully cast, gives the user a single animal companion that will stay by their side and is able to understand simple Human speech. Though the animal retains animal (not Human!) intelligence, it can understand speech via a sort of empathic link with the caster (so the animal and caster can also share thoughts/emotions through this link). Human and animal will be linked for the duration of the companion's life and the spell can only be recast if the bond is severed by the companion's death.
Animal Speech - allows user to communicate with animals via a sort of picture and emotive telepathy. Animals retain animal intelligence (not Human level intelligence and dangerous animals would not be suddenly friendly) but are are able to communicate simple messages the caster the same way they would communicate with other animals. Lasts for around 10 minutes before fading.
Leaf Blade - user summons a flurry of leaves from nearby plants, moving at high enough speeds to cause minor cuts and lacerations on close range targets. Only works in places where there are plants with leaves.
Intelligence - this ability temporarily bestow Human level intelligence and understanding on nearby animals within a 15 ft area around the caster. Effect lasts for 10 minutes, during which animals are able to communicate (via telepathic link) with the spell caster.
Thorn - User is able to summon thorny vines from the ground. Can either use these vines to restrain anyone within a 25ft radius, or can create impassable barriers of thorns and vines. Vines will deteriorate and crumble away within 15-20 minutes.
❥ｔａｌｅｎｔｓ:
Speed Reading
Photographic Memory
Can read in several languages (cannot speak the languages. Japanese, german, spanish, latin, mandarin) ❥ｂｉｏ: Once upon a time, there was a large and powerful family of wizards, renowned for their incredible prowess in the magical arts and their love of cats. Each child born to this family was absolutely exceptional, prodige's in their own specific elements, with buckets and buckets of natural talents, from singing, or playing violin, to many kinds of sports... and then came Verne. She was the final child born to this family... and she was a bit... different. For one, she wasn't exactly the most adept when it came to magical ability. As a matter of fact, she was fairly average when it came to her affinity. Of course, in a family like hers, this was seen as almost being unable to cast magic at all. Because of this, Verne trained incredibly hard with her magics, never quite obtaining the natural skill of her "superior" siblings, but becoming a quite adept magic user in her own right.
Another way in which she was different was the fact that she had no physical prowess... at all. In fact, she had to wear velcro sneakers until high school to prevent herself from tripping on her own, untied shoelaces. That's not even mentioning the fact that she would much rather sleep under a tree than climb it. Unable to follow in her sibling's footsteps (and legend) she turned her attention to something that didn't require much physical effort: Reading. She immersed herself in books, tomes, scrolls, anything with a good story (or without one... but preferably with one). She studied English literature in college, but also learned how to read in several different languages. After school, she managed to land the fairly comfortable position of librarian at the Resonance skies academy, possibly in part due to her impressive family pedigree, and possibly in part because she claimed she could memorize every book that the school had on file... She has.
❥ｌｉｋｅｓ:
✔Cats
✔ Sushi
✔ Books!
✔ Sleep
✔ Thrift Stores.
❥ｄｉｓｌｉｋｅｓ:
✖ Dogs
✖ Rain
✖ Those who disrespect her DOMAIN. (the library)
✖ Sitcoms
✖ Malls (too many people) ❥ｅｘｔｒａ ｉｎｆｏｒｍａｔｉｏｎ: Verne has a bit of a weak point. If you rub her head, she passes out. It's a good way to placate her when she's forcefully upset, but of course, you have to find out about it first. Verne has a bit of a shopping habit, albeit a rather abnormal one. If she sees a complete matching set on a book series, she is compelled to buy it. She has quite a decent collection of the Lord of the Rings Series (some including the other books, some not.)
