Accepted students

Girls

Gaia Name: Sora Kitty
RP character: Kiyoko Akemi
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Personality: Kiyoko is the happy-go-lucky type, and she usually doesn't let little homework problems get to her. She is really into videogames and computers, as well as music. She is easy to make cry, and is fragile in general, but she's one of those loyal friends who will stick by you to the end, once you befriend her. But don't get her angry, cause now she'll fight back (and has also taken karate lessons since she moved). Underneath her quietness, she is really a little bundle of hyperness, especially if you give her candy...
Bio: Kiyoko is the second child of her parents, and she has one older brother. She and her brother are complete opposites: She’s the music fanatic, he’s the sports guy. He’s Mr. Popular with all the cheerleaders, and she has her good friends. He thinks that computers are for geeks, she thinks that they‘re for smart people. He thinks school is semi-dumb, and she thinks it‘s a great way to get educated (save for a few classes). However, despite their differences, they actually get along great. They would give each other advice, and when their father left, they both helped their mother the best they could.

She has wonderful grades in school, and her family and friends support that, even with her weird hobbies. However, there was a group of guys that liked to pick on her, and would try to get her to do their homework for them. When she refused, they’d either take her lunch money or gang up on her. She kept this under wraps for awhile, but since they were all in the same group, it was slowly becoming obvious that something was going on. Well, according to the teacher for that class. Once when she was late leaving class, this teacher asked her kindly if something was up. Not wanting to bother the lady with such problems, Kiyoko quickly tried to shrug it off and assure her it was nothing, but Kiyoko wasn’t too convincing, and as she tried to leave, she tripped and fell. This had revealed bandages, which covered a nice cut mark upon her arm, which pretty much gave away what was going on . In the end, she and the teacher agreed to help her catch her culprits, if Kiyoko stood up to them.

It wasn’t hard at all to find them; they were where they usually were, at the area by the gym. It was here that Kiyoko confronted them once and for all, and well…..that didn’t end too greatly on her part. While they were caught by the police hidden in the bushes, she ended up heading to the hospital for a couple days, after a nice smack in the head left her unconscious, as well as a black eye. In the end, the family did eventually move, but after a wonderful court case against the boys, which resulted pretty nicely: the family didn’t have to pay for those medical bills, not to mention they left quite a bit richer. The mother could see, however, the girl’s self-esteem drop, so since her mother found a job at a nearby city, they moved the summer before, using the Transfer program offered by Green Springs Highschool to let her in. She can still talk to her old friends and see them in the city nearby and by internet, but as for school, she'll have to make some new ones.


Extra: Kiyoko is a music fanatic; she always has her Ipod with her, although she knows better than to use it during classes. She also is trying to learn how to sew, and in result has made many little stuffed animals and people and such. What she would usually do is bring a “project” with her to school, and work on sewing it in the library while listening to her Ipod. She also plays the violin and piano, and can sing pretty well. She is in the EarlyBird Music Class, which were the first students here at school before the warning of the storm.

Gaia Name: xobutterflyox
RP character: Celia
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Personality: Celia is generally friendly and outgoing. She's not the loudest, but she's heard. She tries to be kind to everyone, but if you rub her the wrong way you'll get the cold shoulder. She didn't like to get into the drama of the high school atmosphere and that's what some people like about her. She doesn't talk to about people, she tries not to get into too much drama with guys (but it is hard sometimes. She very relaxed most of the time. That way things stay okay. She was content with the simple things. All she needed was her friends and she was happy.
Bio: Celia is the middle child. Most people would think the middle child was the one ignored, but she changed that. Of course, when she was younger she felt the "middle child syndrome", but she learned to deal with it. That's why she is the way she is. She learned to appreciate the things that she has and that's why she doesn't have to be the center of attention all the time. She had two brothers so she was always around the male influence also, but they were very relaxed so that's where she picked that up.

When her parents divorced was when she found out how hard things could get. But she also realized that it wasn't the end of the world. Although she had a lot of hard times, she learned a lot and became really appreciative. Now she wanted to make the most of her life instead of becoming depressed. She lived with her mother and that's when she picked up a feminine side and found out what she was really passionate about. Fashion became something she was very into. Fashion design to be specific. She started designing clothing at fourteen and she was quite good. The best gift she got was her first sewing machine. That was what she spent most of her money on- materials. That's what kept her relaxed, sane, and happy. Whenever she was depressed, or happy, or angry, she designed clothing.

Concerning school she wasn't the most popular, but she was well known because many girls loved her designs. She had a group of really close friends and then other casual school friends. She never yerned to be popular so it didn't matter to her. She was an average student, but sometimes she fell short. Then things at home got loud. She usually would slip up in atleast one subject per semester, but pull through.

Extra: Celia's not happy about having to stay in school because she was supposed to see her little brother today and without being able to sew it made her a bit irritated. She just tried to stay calm amongst the chaos. It was loud from all the students and she didn't perticularly enjoy it.

Gaia Name: x--X--Star-Ferns--X--x
RP character: Star Amelia Ferns
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Appearance: [-hair-]
[-outfit-]
Personality: Star is friendly and nice. She loves meeting new people and making friends.
Bio: Star has always lived in a proper family, always having to wear appropriate clothing and such. Her parents would never want to see her wearing somethign outlandish or showing. Her studies were always to be the best, always getting A's on her tests. Gallas and Balls were Star's after school and weekend plans, and she was never allowed a boyfriend. Star used to love going to balls and the sort, but is seriously thinking of starting a pitition against them. She is sort-of glad they are stuck at the school during the hurricane. Seeing as she had tricked her parents this morning and worn an outlandish outfit. Is that so wrong to be happy to be stuck with some strangers during a hurricane in a gorgeous hip outfit that she would never be allowed to wear at any time?
Extra: Star's style is much like Jade's from Bratz the Movie


Gaia Name: Nikol_Mosh
RP character: Fate Alloy
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearance:

Personality: She isn't the kind of girl you'd really want to get in a fight with if you hardly knew her. People would probably advise you not to. She is a fighter and nothing of a lover. She isn't interested in boys and only really focuses on what she has deemed important. When she puts her heart and soul into something, you can expect her to go far with it. When she is nothing like that though, prepare to be astounded. She has the tongue of a devil, looks of an angel and manners of royalty. Not to mention she is a head turner alright.
Bio: Fate is 100% French. All of her family lives in France. Well, most of it. She had a brother who was living in Russia until an accident took him. Then her mother vanished when she was a young child and her father took over. Before, the world used to revolve around daddy's little girl. Then he got a girlfriend. He was hardly around to watch her grow up since he had to many business trips to attend. His girlfriend was always gone as well. Fate didn't mind that though because it left the house all to herself.
She only attends very prestigious academy's (for the most part). Her family is rich which gives her the leisure of doing as she pleases. Though she does work for what she wants even with the ability to get anything at the simple request. Most of her time is spent inside the house during the day. At night, it's a different story. She loves to wander around in the garden and woods or even sit on the roof. The two loves of her life are nighttime and, nature. Not to mention music. Without those three things she would seriously be lost in life. It's the only thing that seems to keep her going everyday.

Gaia Name: Sora kitty
RP character: Lucy Miles
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Personality: As of now, cold and somewhat sterotypical. She hangs only around her fellow fans (aka the other cheerleaders) and treats all inferior in her mind like scum of the bottom of her shoe. Although when alone, she removes the mask from her face; the only one to have seen the real Lucy since for awhile, is her cat, her best friend in the world.
Bio: Lucy was born an only child to two extremely rich parents: a lawyer father and a mother who is a doctor. So, naturally, being the only kid and all, she grew up spoiled and happy and loved, just like any other child. Her parents made sure to help her realize that this was a world that money wasn’t everything, and that being kind and doing well in school were important too. More important than wealth. She took this in well, and grew up to be sweet and caring.

As she got older, just like every other teenager, she realized that there were things that money couldn’t buy, and she’d have to adjust to such a switch while in areas such as school and real life. Of course, she wouldn’t have minded so much, if it wasn’t for the fact that things began to get heated between the two parents. They started arguing every night, what it was about at the time Lucy wasn‘t sure, but they were paying less and less attention to their little girl and her needs as a human being. She really just liked spending time with them, really, and that was starting to no longer become a possibility. So, she took comfort in the one thing that she could at that time: wealth, clothing, items. She had no choice in the matter. This trait carried past the fighting of the two parents (who eventually worked it out), and everything became right again. Except, the trait stuck, and began to show changes in Lucy.

For one, she was no where NEAR as caring as she used to be; in fact, she turned quite cold and self-centered. Also, after looking at many fashion magazines and the pop stars of today (who she looked up to as models), she began to try and follow their traits: dressing up nicely, etc. Her grades were also falling drastically, and cheerleading took over her life. Even that was getting harder, since her fellow captain seemed to always try and outdo her. Perhaps that‘s where she got the ego from; that, and she had many fans. When her parents started fighting AGAIN, she tried to find some other human to help her out; a boyfriend she could share her troubles with. One of the boys was Conall, but he turned out to be a drunk addict, which turned her off immediately (especially when she started venting to him, only to find out that he was drunk.

Her parents are barely aware that she’s on the end of her rope; she’s been snapping back a lot more lately. They figure it’s a phase she’ll grow out of.

Extra: Lucy has a pet cat named Mr. Snuffles back at home that she’s worried about; she talked to him about everything when she’s stressed.

Boys

Gaia Name: Lucthewindmaster
RP character: Alastair Eckhardt (Al, for short)
Age: 17, but 18 in 3 days.
Gender: Male
Appearance: Alastair
Personality: Studious but makes time to relax, even at the expense of his studies. He's friendly and a take-charge kind of guy. The only thing he's mean about is his guitar.
Bio: Alastair has had a simple, easy, non-dramatic life. His parents are both doctors and expect him to be one too, but he is uncomfortable with the sight of blood. Instead, he wants to be a flamenco guitarist, along the lines of Paco de Lucia. This is generally a waste, since Alastair is a very gifted student; able to get top 5% without trying too much thanks to his parents' diligent studying schedule. His talent with the guitar is also amazing, maybe even better than his genius.

He was accepted into Yale, which his parents are making him go to, and music school in Austria as well. He is planning on simply going to Austria, even if his parents don't pay for it.
Extra: He can't swim, so he generally doesn't like water.

Gaia Name: xobutterflyox
RP character: Raymond (Ray)
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: Personality: Ray is your typical bad boy. He smokes, rides a motorcycle, and is kind of a player. He has an attitude and enjoys using sarcasim. He's a charmer though when it comes to girls. Boy can he lay it on. He loves nothing more than to be a flirt. He's easy-going though when just hanging out. But he has a short temper. He's dangerous when he's angry.
Bio: Ray grey up with his elderly grandparents because his parents died in a car accident when he was young. He grey up in a bad part of the city and his grandparents couldn't stop him from joining the wrong crowd. He got into smoking and alcohol at the age of fourteen. He was always a trouble-maker. When his grandparents died he moved in with his Aunt... Celia's mother. Yes, they're cousins. She didn't pay attention to him much because she had three other children and was going through a costody battle. So he was free as a bird.

Ray was always able to charm girls. He's usually surrounded by them and is actually respectful for the most part. But Celia always sticks her head in and tears him down. The girls find it ammusing but he doesn't. Despite what you might think, they're actually very close. Expecially because he's always been interested in her friends.

He's constantly getting in trouble at school and most of the teacher hate him. But that didn't matter to him. He barely passes most of the time and his female teachers usually love him.
Extra: n/a

Gaia Name: x--X--Star-Ferns--X--x
RP character: Joshua "Josh" Ferns
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance: Josh has brown hair, like his sister, and it's very shaggy. His clothes are mostly t-shirts and black pants, or jeans, but sometimes his sister puts him into his favourite converse and makes him look cool. Out of school, of course. His parents would have freaked if they had seen him. Good thing they didn't. But when Star dressed him up like that, he realized she had real talent. Not the cheap talent that anyone could whip together. REAL talent. That's what made him keep her secret the most. So, on average Josh does look like an average, friendly guy.
Personality: Pretty decent guy, he's mostly quiet. Josh likes to be more alone, and also get straight A's like his sister. Him and his sister are so much alike it's incrediable. Girls like guys like Josh, so lots of them like him. He just ignores them, like his sister ignores guys. Studies and futures are more important than mild crushes.
Bio: He hangs with his sister alot, and is one of the only people who know about her crave for fashion. He usually ends up covering for Star when she goes to do something. He earned the nickname "Mr. Reliable" from Star a while back when she made the outfit she's wearing today.
Josh loves music. It's kind-of his secret thing like Star has her fashions. He writes music alot and sings it at school in his music class. After class, of course. Josh sometimes sings with hsi sister, and foudn that she has an amazing voice. Josh's favourite subject besides his music is chemistry, and to some people he's considered a nerd. But he really isn't. He's a real cool guy if you become his friend.
Extra: Josh resents the cheerleaders for the fact that they trail after any guy they find cool until he goes out with them, then the next day the cheerleaders dump him. It's so silly, and he would hate it if Star ever started hanging out with them....

Gaia Name: Lucifer Moloch
RP character: Conall Michaels
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: {Conall}
He has three tattoos that he sports whenever asked: a paw print on the scruff of his neck, the Japanese character for 'wrath' on his right shoulder blade, and a trail of paw prints coming up from below his waist. He also has a brand of the number 13 on his left arm.
Personality: Conall is difficult for anyone to describe. He is best known for his mood swings, once escalating to cussing out the head cheerleader. He has an anger problem, but when he isn't angry, he's rather random and entertaining. Another thing he is known for is being able to hang out with anyone in the school if he chose to.
Bio: Conall grew up a normal little life until his mother decided to move all around, dragging Conall with her. They finally settled down, and Conall stayed in the town since. Conall got a million bad habits from his travels, and his mother never approved. Conall was always a really smart kid, he just never bothered trying. Many of his teachers tried to get him to work, but he proved unresponsive. When he was 15 he was arrested for assault when someone had tried to break his CD player, and ever since whenever Conall met a teacher, they only saw a walking criminal record. And even though his supposed 'bad boy' image would have normally given him an instant popularity pass, for some reason it just never caught on. So naturally Conall has no friends, no one to talk to, and no one to care about. Throughout the years, Conall's eyes have dulled to the point of being a perpetual black hole.
Extra: He is in an Advanced Literature after Mr. Kiyoshi realizing how well of a writer Conall is. Conall normally drives a Tokyo Purple '59 Impala.

Gaia Name: Anidzuki
RP character: Renji Hidaka
Age: 17
Gender: M
Appearance:
Personality: Renji's attitude is quite peculiar for a student. He's often seen with a smile on his face but he never seems to put any effort into to anything. People often approach him to talk but he somehow ends the conversation abruptly with a few words -- which has lead people to think that he's somewhat shy. However, it feels like he is rather picky about whom he opens up to because he is seen often talking to girls outside of school.
Bio: Renji is a transfer student into this school. No one really knows anything about him since he just transferred. Often people label him as mysterious or some sort of outcast because he never approaches anyone in school. Renji has no siblings and lives on his own. His parents sent him to the city to learn the "Harshness of reality" because he lived his entire life pampered at home by rich entrepreneurs and professional tutors.

Renji is quite athletic and enjoys practicing martial arts; However, he has joined no clubs. He is often seen hanging around watching the sports team from a fair distance. At one point he was invited to come tryout for one of the teams but he declined because it "wasn't interesting enough." His grades in school are top-notch but his homework and study habits are lacking, he never participates in class but somehow always scores well during exams. Teachers often come to him and scold him for not doing his homework and threaten to call his parents but often end up in a loss because the phone number for Renji's immediately family always puts them on hold for hours due to the fact that A) it was a company number and B) Renji's parents don't care.
Extra: He loves watching birds.

Gaia Name: Anidzuki
RP character: Brian Stevens
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance: If you were to describe this man with one word, the only one that would come to mind is: 'testosterone'. He's 6' foot tall, with muscles that are usually seen on an Arnold Schwarzenegger/Jean Claude van Damme movie. He has black hair, and exceptionally tanned skin. If you ignore all those features, then he'd just be the average joe... that could eat you for breakfast.

Personality: Enthusiastic would be the word to describe it, he absolutely loves people who work hard for their dreams. He may look quite scary on the outside, but in reality, he's quite the good guy. Always helping out wherever needed, cheering up his fellow school mates after losing at their club tournaments. Another thing, he loves sports, especially Boxing.

Bio: Brian "Captain" Stevens had always been at the school. During his freshman years he had always been in the Boxing club. He was an instantly accepted by the previous captain on first sight. In fact, Brian hadn't ever been interested in Boxing till the previous captain forced him into a sparring match. At that point, he fell in love with the sport and never thought about anything else, even his grades in school. Around the campus, Brian had earned the nickname "Captain" because of his leadership qualities, being the captain of the Boxing club, he was also a member of the Student Council; he had put a lot of effort into the school, making him an instant celebrity by name, which everyone had forgotten so everyone aptly stuck with the name "Captain".
Extra: Don't get hit by his Right Straight

Gaia Name: Wolven_Darkness
RP character: Thayli

Gender: Male
Appearance:
Instead of the shirt in the picture he is wearing one that reads "Fight War, Not Wars"
.:~ First Necklace ~:.

.:~ Ring ~:.
Personality: Thayli is the type who keeps to himself, though may make a comment or make a sarcastic remark as he's walking past people.
Bio: Thayli's parents were never married, and they broke up when he was really young. He grew up with his mother, who was single most of the time, though she had had a boyfriend who was a bit of an a**. Being an only child he kept to himself most of his life and started to learn to skateboard, which was the perfect sport for him since it was self teaching. The second reason he didn't have many friends is because he moved so much with his mum. Luckily he and his mother had found a house of their own instead of an apartment, so he would finally be staying in one spot.

Cmon peoples! We need more profiles if we want this to get started! 3nodding

Celia woke up early that morning to the gushing winds. She sighed and looked out the window. A tree was toppled over in her backyard onto the fence. She sighed and looked at the time. She had more than enough time to get ready for school. She turned on the tiny television in her messy room and listened to the news. Ugh... There is still school..., she thought as she listened to it while getting dressed. She couldn't believe that they still were going to have school. She really didn't want to go to school because she had just came out with a new design and she was supposed to see her little cousin today.

She wore one of her newer designs, a soft white dress that slouches off the shoulders, is half sleeved and goes to a couple inches above the knee. She put on her white matching boots and a white hat. (Her picture) She fixed her hair and make-up. Just as she finished that there was a violent knock on the door. She opened it up to see the ready Ray.

"Come on Celia! God you take forever, it's seven fifteen already" he huffed. His hair was messy, black, tinted red. He wore a button up shirt, with the first few and the last few unbuttoned and untucked. He wore black jeans. This was his usual get up. A dog tag hung around his neck. "We're taking the motorcycle." he smirked, knowing that she'd freak out because of the wind.

"No way! We're taking the car..." she told her cousin and grabbed her bag. He chuckled at her and both of them headed to her car. They got in and headed to school.

Each were in lunch when they made the announcement. Celia was very upset because today was supposed to be a good day, but Ray saw this as an approtunity to flirt with as many girls as he could. He knew that his cousin would bee fustrated, expecially since she didn't have anything to sew.

Celia had gotten a salad and a bottle of water. She didn't want to sit with the people she usually did because she was upset. Then she saw a girl sewing. She looked new and lonely so she headed over to the table. "Hey, can I sit here?" she asked with a smile, taking a seat anyways. "So you like to sew?" she asked.

Celia smiled at her. "That's nice." she said and then nodded. "Thank you, and yes I did make it myself. I just finished it a couple days ago actually. Thanks for noticing. I make most of my own clothing..." she said, lightening up a little bit. She was glad to have someone to talk to about like sewing. "I wish I had my fabric and stuff with me so I could sew too. I always do that to relieve my boredum and it seems like we're going to be here for awhile..." she said with a slight sigh at the end. She realized that she didn't even know that girls name. "Oh, I'm Celia by the way..." she introduced with a smile. "What's your name?" she asked.

Celia would of usually asked that first if she hadn't been so distracted. She blocked out the rest of the cafeteria. It didn't really much matter to her who was around as long as she had someone to talk to. She really wished she hadn't come to school today at all.
Out of no where she felt someone pounce on her back.

When she turned Ray sat down next to her. "Hey cuz..." he said with an innocent smile. "Oh, you look upset...." he said, pretending to care as she gave him a glare. He didn't care though. She started to tell him to go away and that she didn't want to talk to him, but he just ignored her and looked over at Kiyoko. "Who's your friend?" he asked, winking at Kiyoko. Again, she tried to tell him off, but he once again ignored her. "I'm Ray..." he introduced with a charming smile.

Ray kept the charming smile resting on his lips. He took her hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you..." he said, kissing it gently before letting her take it back. He got a good look at her, she was cute to say the least. She had an innocent air to her that he found quite attractive. But then again he found a lot of girls attractive as long as they were thin and had a pretty face. "Oh, is that why the school feels so... complete now. It was missing a gorgeous young lady before..." he said smoothly, thinking quick. He always had something like that to say and could think of things like that within seconds. It was just in his nature.

Celia rolled her eyes at him. "Don't mind my obnoxious cousin. He thinks he's some kind of casanova...." she said, putting him down. "He's just an a**..." He would of usually told her off, but he didn't want to make a bad impression already. He was going to play a different card this time just to get Celia back.

"Hey, hey, there is no need for harsh words...." he said calmly. "I think nothing like that of myself and I certainly don't think I'm an "a**". How can you use such words against your loving cousin? Who, by the way, helps you pick up guys all the time...." he said smoothly, making her out to be the bad one. But she just simply rolled her eyes. She couldn't say anything about him not helping her with guys, because he did... if she did him some sort of favor.

Ray raised an eyebrow as Kiyoko found the flaw in his strategy. He smirked a little bit. "She's a smart one..." he said to his cousin, smiling at her. He moved from his cousin's side to Kiyoko's and put his arm around her shoulder. "In a way, but I saw you first. Celia's just faster. I would of been here either way. It's just easier to meet you if she had first... I can be a bit shy..." he said, jokingly towards the end because it was more than odvious that he wasn't. "You know you look cute in red..." he said, referring to her blushing before, "I think that's a good color for you..." he said with a charming smile, his eyes focused on her.

A couple of other girls from a table over looked at Kiyoko with envious looks in their eyes. Ray was odviously very popular amoungs the ladies. They whispered amongs themselves, trying to figure out why he'd be talking to her instead of them. It was just to make themselves feel better.

Celia rolled her eyes again. "Ray you know that's not true." she said, shaking her head. "You're just here because you saw me with a fresh new face who happened to be pretty." she accused, rolling her eyes. "No one invited you to sit here, go away. You're just becoming annoying now. Do you have to hit on all my friends? God, go get your own..." she said, shaking her head. She didn't enjoy having Ray around most of the time in school.

Ray shook his head. "It is true and I only saw a pretty face... One that looked like it was attached to a beautiful soul. I can't help but want to meet someone like that. Can you blame any guy? You're just jealous of her because other guys see her like that and not you." he shot back in the same calm manner. She had just shrugged it off, knowing it was no use to argue with him.
