Rule's Character(s)

[PointDasher]

Name: Daxtin Le’Bouve
Age: 18
Height: 6’7
Weight: 173 lbs

Theme Song

Ability: Always able to surprise others, with a oblivious charm he seems to get out of any serious trouble with a ease few would believe without seeing.. Often he will hint that he can speak with his cat Meozer (Oz for short), that is more or less false as he has no gift for animal-communications though he keeps talking to the creature. So, you may ask, what CAN he do.. Well aside from a gift for transmutation/transfiguration magic’s Dax is rather talented with Alchemic Studies and Black Magic. In short, he can change the physical and chemical makeup of himself or things.. though of course people are much harder to change and any 'improvements' he makes are possibly harmful/permanent.. So he will avoid anything aside from changing the pigmentation (Hair, eye, or skin colors) of others to mess with them for a short time. To make it worse, he will do it to himself.. once walking around his home town with green skin and shocking black eyes. It was all in fun, of course.. but the locals did not share his humor. To wrap it up he is gifted with slight-of-hand, Judo, and can cheat with the best of them at card games.. He avoids using black magic, though it is his strongest gift, simply because the more he exerts that part of himself, the deeper he is pulled into it. Fit for a human, muscled if a bit lean, and decently strong for one of his race.

Talent: Alchemy/Lap and Herbology Sciences.

Race: Human

Crush: As of yet..?

Personality: Odd to say the least, off-beat and more than willing to go through life at his own pace. At times his comments are so off the wall few can guess what inspired them, or if he is speaking to them.. or himself. Of course born from this abstract manner is his genius mind, able to see situations and concepts from a rather strange point of view and thus reach a conclusion few others would consider. Puzzles fascinate him, riddles and abnormal items hold his attention for hours until.. in a fickle moment.. he moves on to some other random scheme or entertainment. ‘Rules’ are just words to him, rarely will he pay them any mind.

At the first meeting he will ask others a question, off the wall or shockingly insightful.. and the way he treats them there-after depends on how they answer. You see, for being such a enigma himself.. he is very good at understanding how other's minds work from these inquires or their actions. Daxtin is far from unsocial, at the least expected moment he will appear to shang-hi others into his maverick plans.. And he is a baby when it comes to some things, whining or working on his friend's guilt to get his way like a impish child. Dax rarely admits his real troubles or concerns, and on the off chance he is serious about something.. well there really is no telling what he will do or what his aim is until he gets what he wants.

Likes: Puzzles, odd items, freaky (adorable as he says) creatures, doing random tests, a companion with a clever wit and open mind, and in short any sort of harmless mischief. It is hard to find things he does not like, simply because he finds a odd sort of beauty or respect for even the strangest of things or people.

Dislikes: What he really dislikes.. Is a secret, and sharing that secret of course.

Bio: The second Son of his home town's Hexlin, or mediator between Humans and the Forest beings. His elder brother will take over the Shrine, serving as the 'Priest' to keep peace.. So, with no role or purpose, Dax naturally deviated from the path his family followed and started down his own. His 'cat' is a Shrine spirit from his home, the little beast seems as drawn to Dax as he is to it. Perhaps it is only fitting, considering what he did to keep the creature. As with many Spirits Oz was bound to the Shrine and the lands that housed it.. To take the cat with him he ingested, then fused, with magic-soaked soil from that land; This is why dark magic lingers on him, building up to slowly taint him if he does not let the Cat purify him. Ironic perhaps, but without Oz's presence he would be dyed with his own magic and twisted down a violent path. It is a fate all Human magic users dread; for once darkness takes root the stain of evil soon follows.

Needless to say it pissed his Father off greatly when he discovered what Dax had done, stealing a shrine beast and 'running away' without a good reason. To be honest he did not run away, his mother (much of the same personality as Dax, as it were) just did not mention her actions to her husband at the time. Being so alike she could always understand her second child, even at his oddest moments she would just clap and cheer with a loving enthusiasm.. Even when he tainted himself with the Shrine's soil to keep his beloved cat. So, when she realized what a bleak life he would live in his brother's shadow she decided to take things into her own hands.. Knowing her husband to be the stubborn man he was she did not even try to convince him to let Daxtin go abroad for schooling; The Lady Hexlin just settled things with the school and.. as they sat together that last morning.. she told Dax goodbye with a swift smack on his shoulder and a cheeky demand to call when he could. So, packing a duffle bag and placing Oz on his shoulder he set off.

Despite the name Meozer (Meow-zer), or Oz as he calls it, the Cat is actually a female.. and a pure spirit. By touching things it can cleanse them, dirty water becoming drinkable.. and removing the taint of black magic from Dax's body. If it would really be so bad to be dyed with such negative magic, he has no idea.. But his mother and his cat seem against it so he takes care not to use his gift if he can help it. Of course since coming to this school he has found very little provocation so.. Job well done?

 

[PointDasher]

Name: Adam Rusano
Age: 17
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 195 lbs

Theme Song

Ability: Agile, flexible, very light on his feet.. His reflexes are quick, and he has impressive acrobatic skill, strength, and speed for such a young age. His fighting style is typical hand-to-hand, or with a small dagger but his skill is not so much 'force' as 'durability', Adam can take quite the beating before his body gives in.. even if his attacker is not human; What is more, the boy is clever and knowledgeable about the other races. Enough so that he can usually spot and name creatures by the small hints or traits they show. If he likes he can mist-walk, turning himself and any items he has on hand into vapor to escape troublesome situations; Sadly some items are destroyed in the process but they are rarely that important. With this talent his clothing and weapons are just as easily shed, as long as it is basic fabric and metal he can keep their particles on his skin until solidifying them in his time of need. There are of course limitations to what he can do in his mist-form, it is after all only mist.

Talent: Mythology, or rather.. Ancient Culture and Coexistence.

Race: Human

Crush: Without, at the moment.

Personality: Much like a coin, there are two sides to this boy.. though which is false or if both are true it is hard to say. As a student he is a respectful and punctual, reserved towards the others and at times rude. He will not start a issue without good reason but if backed into a corner his manner will become rebellious and stubborn, saying just the right thing to set off his foe's temper to get them to strike first.. which he will take without resisting to end the conflict and stay 'innocent' in the eyes of onlookers. Consider him a indirect trouble maker, manipulating people and events to settle matters his own way. When he is not a student Adam is patient, clever, and cold.. Observing events with little intention of interfering. He will do as he is told, down to the letter, and offer no complaints about his orders. On a personal level, the boy is sarcastic with a grim sense of humor and a inert nature.. Though he likes to rile others with taunting gestures when he can get away with it he will not speak to most while wearing his hunters clothes. Orders are followed, it is rare he takes action on his own initiative on a mission but when he does he will see the task through to the end.. And accept the consequences of his actions calmly. Of course, when he claims responsibility for someone or something in such a way.. He considers it 'his' and will not let it go easily.

Likes: Reading, quiet nights, doing his tasks well, and fruit.. A quiet day sitting on a tree limb and reading a book? Maybe snacking on a apple? Nothing would be better. Peaches are his favorite, the fuzzy fruit is a weak point.

Dislikes: Most people, nothing personal he is just a bit unsocial. Being told to drop one of his projects, this irritates him to no end.. And of course answering questions he sees as 'pointless'.

Bio: Adam is, obviously, the son of a Hunter Clan.. Though they accepted the Academy’s presence because it seems to civilize the ‘beasts’ in the world they are still wary of the institution and its motives; The elders finding it hard to believe that it really could just be a school for odd kids. So.. They sent Adam as a show of good faith, and to keep tabs on the inner works of the school. He is to learn about the other students, study how they interact and if any are causing trouble beyond the limits the school promised.

To be honest Adam had a normal childhood; Though his family is strict with their demands of constant training and teachings of times long past, he was well loved by his father and younger sister.. Never was his life too hard, he easily took to the teachings his elders gave and excelled at the training his clan undergoes to stay on par with the non humans in this world. True, long ago those of his blood were Hunters.. Tracking and killing those not of Human blood.. But as with all things time has moved on, his little sister is even playing with the local were-cubs in her school. No, they do not kill freely now, but they still act as a defensive force against any that go rogue against Humans. That is not to say a deep hatred of non-humans does not still exist within their clan, it just has stayed with the elders and not infected the younger generations too much. His father was very liberal with non-humans, a kind man that believed talk would solve so much more than battle. When he died illness, only a few months ago, Adam and his sister were put under the care of the elders.. and their control.

Adam agreed to this course of action because he was offered a deal by the elders, as he is of the right age and mind to take on this task he would join the school and put their worries to rest.. or warn them if there is really reason to worry. In return his little sister would be allowed to stay with their father's woman in the town, a kind female who treated them well. He does not hate non-humans, he just dislikes them as much as he dislikes other humans. So, now a ward of the Head Mistress, he has joined the school.. Writing only when he feels the need to speak with his little sister. As he is in her care, he accepts the Head Mistress’s orders and obeys.. But he rarely talks much about personal matters. Adam joined the disciplinary committee to help keep the peace on school grounds, he is the Vice Captain.. And keeps his Leader in line. Honestly.. His presence is not just surveillance for the school but, if ordered, also an agitator for the Elders. From time to time they order him to create issues or stressful circumstances to test the students and teachers alike. So far they have been little, he dreads the day they order for something more.. dire..

 

[PointDasher]

Name:
- Riley Hertzbloom -

Age: 15
Height: 5'0 ft
Weight: 110 lbs

Theme Song

Ability: Magic, with an affinity for summoning spell-items such as chains or weapons. Riley is better at defensive magic such as barriers and shields than destruction magic in general.. but has a bit of skill in Healing as well. Surprisingly swift and flexible, though not very strong.. so in a physical battle it comes down to evasion and speed, Riley skilled enough to take down the enemy with strategy instead of just brute force and oddly adept at guessing the Race ( and weaknesses ) of those nearby. Oddly enough.. the kid is very good with fashion and clothes-making, along with cooking and house-keeping skills.

Talent: Tactician.

Race: Human

Crush: A few.. Daxtin Le'Bouve being one of them. Another is Arrianna de La Sombra.. While neither are 'serious' it is wise not to talk trash about either of them near him.

Personality: A little spoiled-acting, and very manipulative when it he feels it is needed. Calm, patient, and observant. Very much a meticulous type, Riley takes care of every little detail and has a rather impressive I.Q. Not to mention this kid is a firm believer in the chain of command, and while it does not seem like it.. at the same time it would seem Riley is very loyal and kind; If not entirely 'gentle' in the things he will say. Almost every comment is thought out carefully, tactful.. if a little blunt at times. Style is very important in Riley's mind, and if asked he will go out of his way to help others become 'stylish' as well. Do not doubt that just because Riley is quiet he is not strong willed, the brat stubborn enough to make a saint swear when needed.

Likes: Boys, Girls, Pretty things, looking nice, work to be finished in a timely manner.. and of course Candy, almost always found munching on something sweet or strange. ( The Captain often gives him odd things to eat.)

Dislikes: Most of the foods that the Captain gives him, but he eats it all anyway. People acting strange about his clothing preference.. and the D.C Members not doing their work.

Bio: The fact that Riley is a boy.. has been a rather well kept secret from his clan and elders alike. Raised to be a girl at the request of his late mother the boy was spared much of the pain and.. worse.. duties of the clan. Perhaps, though, it would be best to start at the beginning

Like his elder brother Adam, Riley was born into a clan of Hunters. Unlike his brother, however, he did not posses the ancient skill of mist-walking.. and for a male child of the Rusano clan that could not perform their sacred art life within the clan would be short and brutal. His mother and father, the family Heads, both agreed to deceive the clan and protect their pitiful child.. And as luck would have it he inherited his mother's beauty and delicate features. Sadly his mother died when he was still young, and knowing his fate rested on the illusion of his femininity.. Riley dove deeply into the world of style and fashion, wearing it like a security blanket for so long that he's forgotten to treat it as such. He never hated acting like this.. Actually, being raised as a girl anyway, he knows no other way to be. He failed miserably at the classes and training sessions he was forced to take, unable or unwilling to harm inhuman beings.. Yet in the study-sessions he thrived, showing intellect and great skill with strategy. Still, when his magic became obvious to his Father the man started to worry again, knowing that.. female or not.. the Elders would use his child once they learned of it. So he set out to the town nearby, finding the local witch that had helped his wife during her pregnancies.. and asked of her a favor. He knew his time was running out, being a wise man it was only too obvious that the Elders had grown tired of his mild behavior towards the 'freaks' of the world.. And while he knew Adam could survive and even thrive in the Clan after his passing he still worried for his daughter Riley.

After his passing the Elders gave Riley up without a fight to the Witch's guardianship ( thus the last name 'Hertzbloom' ), instead holding tight to his brother and manipulating him.. So Riley took matters into his own hands. At his request the Witch enrolled him into this school, safely out of the reach of the Clan.. and close enough to protect his brother from himself. Of course he does not care if people address him as a boy or a girl, he'll accept being treated as both.. Though most mistake him to be female very easily. His role in the Disciplinary Committee is actually the House-Keeper.. He keeps the place clean and maintains the barriers in the holding rooms, even fixing delicious food or drinks for the others and of course offering advise when asked for it.

It is wise to remember that while he came to this school to protect his brother, he acts aloof towards him.. as though they are allied enemies. Until he can get the Elder's leash off of his brother's neck he can't trust him to be.. well.. himself. Thus, to protect his sibling he must tolerate and cover for his actions.. Or stop them if he can.
