Welcome to Gaia! ::

In the year 2038, a new breed of human has formed. With the special ability to transform the main forms of energy, Potential, Kinetic, Radiant, Thermal, Chemical, and even combinations, around them into useful forms, they are labeled as freaks. Government agencies have been set up to study the powers of these people, but many are often killed. To protect young people who have the ability to Convert, a school was set up by a wise and masterful Converter, known only to the students as "Headmaster". The school is in a location that is only known to those who can Convert and their families. However, some children have parents or relatives in the government how are slightly racist toward these "freaks". These students are taken in and housed by the school, but the approval of a "non-government" family member is needed. Many teachers are gifted in the ability and they teach the students how to manage their powers, and their lives.

The school is divided into different classes according to age. First years being the youngest and Fourth years being the oldest. Each student has two year terms in each "Year". So a First year will remain a First year for two years. When new students are admitted into the school, an "Escort" from a more experienced "year" will accompany the new student for a few months before they are let into the school on their own.

The school has very tight security, but it is managed like a somewhat normal school to give the students a semi-normal school life. Seasonal event are held and even high security class trips are taken. The school has existed for 15 and has yet to be discovered. Although, recent government activity has detected some Converters and sentenced them to death for fear that they could be used against them as weapons. If the Converters in this such school were ever found out, a war would surely break out. This is the life of the students, the families, the teachers, and their lives in hiding...

ORIGINAL CHARACTERS/PROFILE SET-UP
((MUST READ))

All profiles must be PMed to me so I can post them here. I want them all on the first page at least so that we don't waste space in the roleplay. It's also easier for people to just come here and look up what character they are talking to. I do not have a time limit for applying to roleplay, since it is a type of roleplay were characters can pop in anytime. I will, however, only allow no more than 50 people (users not characters because one user can be more than one character as explained below) to roleplay at once. It is a little excessive to keep track of about 100 people in a roleplay so I don't want it to get that crazy. If a member drops out I will post an opening.

The member profile must be in this format:



You are allowed to roleplay as more than one person if you so choose. Just have an indication of which character you are RPing as. You must ask me for special permission to be more than one character. I will be playing two characters because this roleplay is based off a story I made and I want to play the two main characters because they go together. You must also ask if you would like to apply for the part of a teacher and what subject you wish to teach. The roles of Mr. and Mrs. Burke are also open.

CHARACTER LIST

Gaia Name: KT_Skittles
RP Name: Misouka
Age: 16
Year: First year
Background: Misouka's parents were killed shortly after she was born. She was adopted at the age of two. When she was five her foster parents were killed in a fight by a drunk man. The drunk slashed Misouka's face and the scar remains there today. A young boy named Tyson Burke came to rescue her before she got killed. Since she was all alone, Tyson's parents were kind enough to take her in. She has lived at the Burke's house since the accident. She has the ability to Convert, just like Tyson, so they both attend the Academy, which is very conveniently located a few miles away from Tyson's house. Misouka is not like other Converters though. When enraged, her eyes go white and she becomes uncontrollable and destroys everything around her. Nothing can stop from this stage that the Headmaster of the academy call "Going" except Tyson. He has the ability to snap her out of her rage, but the reason is unknown. When Misouka falls asleep after she "Goes", she has a memory wipe-out and doesn't remember the rage and destruction. This has proven a problem in the school. She has killed three students on accident because they enrage her with relentless teasing about her past.
Personality: Misouka tends to be a little moody and short tempered at times. She has a higher level of Conversion than most other students do and she shows off every now and then. She tends to distance herself from everyone around her except for Tyson. She seems to only trust him, but she can be mean to him sometimes as well. She dresses a little differently, she wears red contacts all the time, and she dislikes girly things, but styles her hair differently. Misouka is Japanese and often speaks it when she is frustrated or doesn't want anyone to know what she's saying.
Appearance:
Location: Burke's Guest house

Gaia Name: KT_Skittles
RP Name: Tyson Burke
Age: 18
Year: Second year Escort
Background: Tyson fought off the drunk hurting Misouka using his Converting abilities. He has a soft spot for Misouka and is starting to develop a crush on her. He is a very advanced Converter and was assigned as Misouka's Escort. He always seems to be around Misouka when she "Goes" and can somehow calm her down. He is not even aware of how he does this. He has been assigned to follow Misouka longer than a normal Escort would because of her power. He doesn't mind though, because he thinks he's starting to develop feeling for her. A very weird thing to happen, especially when she lives in his families guest house...
Personality: Tyson is one who follows the rules and knows the difference between right and wrong. He will always stand by his friends. He's a very responsible person and has a lot of duties given to him by the Headmaster.
Appearance:
Location: Burke's Main house

Gaia Name: x--X--Star-Ferns--X--x
RP Name: Star Ferns
Age: 17
Year: Second Year - Not an escort
Background: Star grew up with her parents, and her older brother Josh. There's also her sister, whom could also convert, but she left home a few years ago. Star started going to this school shortly after, and has really been quiet up untill this year. In her first year, Star was always hidden behind a book, or drawing in her notebook. Practically invisible. Now, she's back and hot. Star still reads in her spare time of practicing her convert-ing. And studies.
Star is pretty intelligent, and rich. Way rich. She's so spoiled, that even Paris Hilton would be jealous. Kidding. They'd probably tied.
Personality: Star is fun loving and friendly once your her friend. If not, or if your mean to her, she''l be a "b****" and make your life miserable. Just a warning.
Appearance:
Picture 1
Picture 2
Location: Star usually is at the school, living in one of the dorms. Sometimes, though, she goes home to see her parents.

Misouka awoke from another bad dream. She just relived a moment in her life that she couldn't forget. Tiny cracks in her window allowed for little sunlight to get through. Just the way she liked it. She stretched her arms over her head and slowly got up and dressed herself. Her hair was messy as usual, but she didn't fuss over appearances too much so she just brushed it out. Suddenly, someone burst into her room.

"Come on Misouka we're gonna be- Oh!" Tyson said with surprise. Usually Misouka was still sleeping by the time he came to get her. He was surprised to see her up and dressed. Not once had he ever knocked. Nor was he ever told to. He just barged into the room, acting as a human alarm clock for Misouka.

Misouka walked over to Tyson and kicked him out the door, without so much as a warning. As he rubbed his head she spat, "I'll be down in a second. Stop worrying!" Sure enough, within minutes Misouka was coming out of the guest house and met Tyson in front of the main house. Both the Burke's were gone by this time in the morning, so Tyson and Misouka walked. But their school wasn't very far away from Tyson's house, so it really didn't matter. Not another word was shared between the two as they walked to and into the school. The school for people like them. Converters.

Every now and then Misouka would toss and turn in her seat, which made a lot of noise. Tyson repeatedly apologized to the teacher. He made up an excuse that Misouka was up very late last night and she was very exhausted. The teacher dismissed it, only because she knew Tyson was covering for her and Misouka always fell asleep anyway. Tyson sighed and looked at the sleeping Misouka. He whispered to himself, "You always cause me stress, Misouka."

Apparently Misouka was able to hear him. She turned her head towards him and whispered back, "Then stop being my Escort."

"I can't do that. I stop being your Escort when Headmaster tells me so, which hasn't happened yet. So, you gotta deal with it."

"Sounds like you need to deal with it more than I do," Misouka smirked. She turned her head away before Tyson could say anything else.

Tyson sighed as Star walked in the room. She was texting as usual. It annoyed Tyson that all the teacher ever did was glare at her. But Tyson knew that Star was loaded and the teacher didn't need any inconvenient mishap like being fired or something. "Hey, Star," he said as she sat behind them.

Misouka ignored Star's usual entrance and continued to day dream. She couldn't wait for her next period class, Thermal Conversion. That class was the equivalent of normal public school gym class.

Tyson glanced at her then faced forward. He whispered back to her while facing forward as if not to get in trouble for talking. "Why did you do that in school? It's not like you're gonna miss some emergency. If anything was wrong Headmaster would excuse you from school."

Misouka turned her head around to join the conversation. "It's a girl thing. They have some compulsion that their thumbs must be in motion at all times."

Misouka laughed to herself. Tyson shot her a glare that meant he wanted her to apologize, but she didn't. Despite being a girl herself, she still bashed other ones. She didn't like the label put on girls that they were all weak little high-maintnance bitches. Well, at least that's how some Third Year Aras put it. He hated Misouka with a passion and part of his gimmick for teasing her was making girly jokes about her even there was almost nothing girly about Misouka besides her curves and her long black hair.

"What?" Misouka and Tyson gasped at the same time. The teacher was clearly frustrated from their outbursts that had been distracting her class. She turned back to her ActiveBoard and almost poked a whole in it with the computerized marker. Misouka turned her attention back to Star. She shot her a strange look and whispered, "Sassy? Whatever..."

"More like 'fresh,'" Tyson whispered to Star as Misouka put her head down again.
