AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM

Name: Faustus Lestrange
Nicknames: Faussi, Torchwood, Candy-corn-head (generally used as both an insult, and lovable joke)
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Faction: Demon
Race: Flame Demon

Natural Ability: Like all flame demons, Faustus is quite agile, with good balance and quick, often calculated reflexes. And being a demon of wildfires, he possesses the natural ability to burst and consume any nearby plant-growth (or plant-based material) in flames. It usually only affects an area in close proximity to him, and isn't very concentrated or strong, but could make for a nice distraction.

Personality:

*[.:Intuitive:.]* Faustus tends to be a bit of a chatterbox at times, going on and on about random inventions and ideas, but don't take him for an airhead. He's always thinking of new ideas while watching and observing the things around him, and can usually read others better than he'd like to admit. It's one of the traits that gets him into trouble so often wink However it can be used well in battle, and next to his brute determination is probably the most important reason to take him seriously in a fight.

*[.:Eccentric:.]* It wouldn't be too much to say that Faustus is rather odd. He tends to see life as limitless, and is always dreaming of extravagant larger-than-life things. This also leads him to much trouble, as reality often falls short of one's expectations. Nonetheless he always seems to pick himself up from each failure and continue forward. But don't be surprised if he randomly starts on about inventing socks that process their own heat to keep your feet cozy warm, or a buggaboo scarf that doubles as a napkin on the off chance none are available. He can be pretty random that way.

*[.:Coy:.]* Don't underestimate his blank stare, spontaneous clumsiness, or his excuses claiming innocence. Faustus is rarely ever truly "innocent". He'll prank anyone with a good enough reason, especially his friends, though in his own way these pranks are nothing more than tokens of affection to the ones he loves.

*[.:Love Interest:.]* Speaking of love, he honestly has never considered it. Being so very driven towards his lifelong dream has left him little thought for a personal life. Not saying he wouldn't settle down with the right ghoul, but chances are he wouldn't recognize infatuation if a gnome shot an arrow of it right at him. Come next Scarentines Day, he's sure to be in for a treat wink

*[.:Loyal:.]* Despite his rather peculiar exterior and mischievous nature, Faustus is actually quite tender at heart, and if approached will eagerly accept new friends. He bonds closely with his friends, and would do anything within his power to help them if in need. Having grown up without any real companionship, he considers the friends he has to be true treasures, and harming or threatening them is probably the quickest way to anger him.

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?
While a young and inexperienced creature, Faustus has grand dreams of someday developing a way to harness and manufacture the FEAR in Halloween to better support everyone. He also enjoys tinkering with things, and being a fire demon has it's perks. For instance, he can weld metal objects with barely a lift of his finger. Given this natural talent, he has many inventions already, and can often be seen in his room working hard on a new "bestselling" project for Halloween Town. The outcome is usually pretty disastrous. Be warned. Needless to say, after several hundred thousands in personal property damage due to his "projects", Faustus's parents thought it time he put a little of his mischievousness and creative intellect in at the Academy; to the point they're even considering getting him a part time job while there, working an apprenticeship in mechanics beneath the local janitor of the boiler room to "hone his skill". Quite frankly, Faussi is delighted by the idea and cannot wait to prove to the other Halloweeners just how successful an entrepreneur he can be. He knows not only will the mechanical labor be good for his future industry, the battle aspect will provide a wonderful way to study and understand raw FEAR and how it could be used in the future.

FEAR Ability: Snapdragon Bramble — By focusing his FEAR, Faustus is able to summon fiery thorns that grow around the demon. Razor-sharp barbs along the vines lash out and curl like heat-seeking missiles to still the opponent‘s limbs, resulting in cut and graze damage.*

*Year 2 and 3 enhancements include a greater imbuement of FEAR, therefore allowing vicious biting flowers to blossom along the vines for added damage, which later develop the ability to spout fire for possible burn damage. The massive amount of fear required to generate this attack however weakens the demon greatly, and the intensity of the attack also depends on the demon’s own avarice, as the plant’s imbued ferocity stems from and imitates Faustus’s own. Due to this, Faustus will typically choose to forgo the attack altogether, and will only use it if given a particularly necessary reason.

Falls under the Swift Strikes gambit.

Physical Description: Of medium height with a slender, lanky build. His horns are rather small and slender, slightly curved and pointed, with a black base and reddish tint that often blends with his hair. And his tail, while ending in a fiery fluff, tends to give off an ember-like glow. The small wings on his back, while lacking for flight, do support the demon's flames, and burn various shades depending on his mood and health. This happens due to a rise or drop in his own body temperature, coupled with a slight change in the oxides his body gives off, causing a temperature change in the flames that ranges from fiery red hot when angered/fevered, through shades of orange (normal health), green (unnerved/sick), blue (stressed/in pain), purple (depressed), and even pale white if nearing death.** His wings also serve as an outlet for the massive amount of heat his body generates, and one will often find sizzling charred black feathers dropping to the ground behind him.

**If fatigued and nearing the point of death, Fautus will begin to lose stability over his own body temperature, and all the natural FEAR leaking from his orifice (that is to say, his wings) will escalate, forcing heat through them in waves, causing his body temperature to drop substantially as his wings burn with a white-hot aura. If left untreated, this can lead to too much heat-loss (much in the same manner as other creature's blood-loss) leading to inevitable death and regeneration. A nice long lava-bath is a good method to counter this, as the heat from the molten rock envelopes the flame demon, stabilizing their body temperature and often increasing the heal rate of their wounds.


Eye Colour: Large and round, with solid red pupils surrounded by a bright orange iris, the whites of which are a glossy yellow/jaundiced color.
Hair Colour/Style: Misshapen spiked layered hair, ranging from a deep red to strands of bright orange. It gleams so bright at times he appears almost as though his very head is aflame.
Skin Colour: A very pale, grey-ish-tan corpse color, appears a bit waxy.
Clothing Style/Colours: Faustus usually dresses rather absurdly, pairing things that often don’t match, though this method seems to work for him. He’s often found in a pair of pinstripe slacks, a flamboyant shirt, and is rarely ever seen without his tattered trench-coat and a sturdy pair of boots. He also accessorizes with a custom pair of goggles he designed himself, featuring the face of a demonic-looking creature with horn-like tips and slanted, angry eyes for the goggle lenses themselves.
Extra: Faustus is a well-known food junkie, often indulging in various candy, snacks, and sweets. What's more, he has a peculiar fascination with fish, and fancies raw sushi a delicacy. While such water-based foods can be harmful to a creature of flame, Faussi's scorching tongue quickly steams off any water content when it makes contact, often charring his food in the process, though he doesn't seem to mind.

P.S. Bribing him with food, is probably the best way to get him to owe you a favor.

His family has adopted the surname "Lestrange" to make public transactions more managable, as demons rarely if ever reveal their full names.

AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM

Name: Faint Tigris
Nicknames: Faint
Gender: Male
Age: 17

Faction: Monster - Coeurl

Natural Ability: Faint is able to tolerate a variety of environments, from scalding hot to freezing cold and everything in between. Environment has little to no effect on him whatsoever.


Personality:

While confined to his humanoid appearance by his skull pin, something far more feral prowls below Faint’s surface. The quick jerk of golden eyes tracking movement, a rumbling growl seemingly unfit for his vocal chords, and a strange aversion to water…

Though alien, Faint is as lethally feline as the big cats he so closely resembles. His thought processes seem to rely on a predatory state of mind, acting on the laws of nature that define his species, such as; protecting and nurturing those that he views to be his “young” (such as his minipets), aggressively defending what he considers his territory (including his domain and the people he cares about), and the careful, calculating act of finding and targeting prey (those meeker citizens who are so easily dominated, especially the ones who physically resemble prey.)


Faint is a solitary breed, seeming closed-off to all but his closest friends. He seems to have a sort of wariness about disclosing personal information that spiked after the death of his father. Even the smallest details are not easily given, especially in public settings.


Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?

Tradition. Both of Faint's older brother's attended Amityville, and he's next in line, even with the whisperings of cruel field trips and using students as fodder. In addition to that, he doesn't know what his FEAR is, and his mother is hoping that a little guidance from the tough staff of Amityville will help him figure it out.

FEAR Ability:

--- He does not know what his fear is. He'll discover it through roleplay ---

Using his massive claws (in either his natural or student form), Faint channels his fear into his arm to increase the strength of his attack. Flesh tends to be hard to break all the way through at normal speeds, but at the speed from his fear his claws slide through like butter.


Physical Description:

Eye Colour: Golden, with slit pupils
Hair Colour/Style: Ginger, short and sort of styled forward. He also has sideburns and a goatee that match his hair color.
Skin Colour: Light tan with faint tiger striping on his arms, chest, back, and legs (does not need to be visible on his art, but is there in any case). He also has freckles across his cheeks.
Clothing Style/Colours:
  • Diluted dark-red turtle neck sweater, usually with the sleeves pushed up.
  • Tight black slacks
  • Black leather leg armor (think this), perhaps with straps or golden studs or both? This is mostly CC, but they should extend to cover the tops off his feet a bit. Underneathe these he is barefoot.
  • Loose hanging wide belt with his large skull pin attached. Skull pin can be any style, despite the fact that I depict it in a chibi style.
  • Hanging loose down his leg from behind the pin is a red scarf that fades to black. This can be whole or torn up, I'd be happy with either.
  • Feel free to add anything else you think fits. Earrings, rings, tail rings, bracelets. It's fair game.

Extra: Large pointed ears that kind of curl forward. There’s cream-colored fur on the inside of his his ears, and the outer ear is colored like a tiger, orange with black stripes. His tail is very long, and at the end is a large, lion-like, cream-colored poof of fur. The rest of the tail is tiger colored. His nails are long and pointed (think Sabretooth from X-men origins.)

AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM

Name: Emil Aventine.
Nicknames: None at the moment.
Gender: Male.
Age: 17.

Faction: Monster.
Race: Cockatrice.

Natural Ability:
PetrificationSimilar to a Chupacabra’s ability to paralyze, a cockatrice can petrify. The only difference is that a cockatrice doesn't need to stare at their petrified prey to have them remain paralyzed.

Thankfully, Emil is still a very young cockatrice, so the petrification only lasts for approximately five minutes (maybe less).


Personality:
• Socially awkward
XXXXXo Living most of his life in the confinement of his home, Emil doesn’t interact much with the outside world or other halloweeners for that matter. He could list the few people he has ever talked to in his life from the top of his head, and having been living in such a controlled environment had made the poor boy extremely awkward when thrust into the world outside. He believes that the world inside his home and the one outside has two completely separate rules, and had completely forgotten that being himself is more than enough. If you throw him with a crowd of strangers at this current moment, he is likely to just sit in his little corner while watching what everyone is doing, failing many a times to join in any of the groups conversations because he fears being impolite and so forth.

•Quiet

XXXXXo Emil isn’t a very talkative individual. He prefers to be a listener and a watcher while in the company of others, and has a fear of saying the wrong things. The latter mainly caused by how awkward he is with the society, but he’ll get over it. He is more likely to express an idea or keep a conversation going if he is comfortable with the person he is conversing with.

•Caring & Mellow

XXXXXo Worrying about others and looking after them is part of Emil’s lifestyle. He is kind, sweet and has the patience of a saint when handling others. There are moments when he will worry if he’s being annoying, but the notion quickly disappears as he goes into “mommy” mode. This mommy mode includes him fussing over people, and pretty much just being your stereotypical mother hen. After mommy mode, he is likely to apologize for being a little too blunt, too in-your-face, or just worried that he said things he shouldn’t.

•Protective

XXXXXo While this is a trait you don’t see very often, it is part of what makes Emil, Emil. The cockatrice might be a bit awkward and relatively quiet, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t stand up for the things and people he wants to protect. He will fight for those important to him even if he has to hurt another to do it. HE WILL B1TCHSLAP THEM WITH HIS HAIR.

Together they make…MOMMY EMIL!


Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?
Reason number one: Emil was enrolled because he believes that entering an actual school would be good life experience and had convinced his parents as such (his mother more than approves of this). The second and last reason is a personal reason...it's because he has a complex over Xiu.

FEAR Ability:
Poison Breathe | The Tainted Fang | Emil breaths out a poisonous gas that poisons his enemies.

Physical Description:
Eye Colour: Glowing, amber serpent eyes.
Hair Colour/Style: Long, straight, dark near-black teal colored hair that covers his face like curtains. It ends at around his elbows.
Skin Colour: Think normal human skin, and then think pale, and slightly ashen thanks to not being in sunlight enough.
Clothing Style/Colours: His normal outfit looks more like a uniform with a color theme of black and green. The lacing and details are in green, and the rest being black, there is a cockatrice emblem on the right front pocket on his uniform. The rest of his uniform doesn’t have much detail aside from being a pair of black pants and a pair of black boots.
Extra: there are traces of yellow-green scales around his eyes along with faint traces of white feathers protruding under the scales. He also has a pair of wings similar to those of a dragon on his back and a tail. Both of them are yellow-green in color as well. All of his teeth are pointy and a little sharp, they hurt if he bits down but they wouldn't draw blood unless he uses force.

AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM

Name: Braulio
Nicknames: None atm.
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown; Looks about 16

Faction: Monster
Race: Alicanto

Natural Ability: Night Vision - Allows sight in low-light conditions.


Personality:

Few Of His Kind: Being that Alicanto are extremely ferocious, over the generations their numbers have dwindled to only a handful. Braulio has never met another of his kind because of this. He honestly has no clue if there are even any Alicanto left anywhere. This fact makes him feel utterly against the world, that there is no one he can really relate to. Or at least that he feels he can. And now that he has started to get older he's been going through strange changes that he just can't seem to understand and no one seems to be able to give him answers. It frustrates him to no end.

Rough Around the Edges: Having little contact with others while growing up, Braulio has developed a fairly rough and blunt way of speaking to people. He never sugar coats anything if he's drawn into a conversation to spare another's feelings. The boil just sees no reason to cater to a characters sensibilities. If you can't handle the truth then you will never survive in the real world. And life is all about survival. If he has an opinion about something he will straight up let you know. If you're being stupid he would smack you upside the head and tell you you were being stupid. His sense of humor leaves much to be desired. In the sense that he generally doesn't have one and any that he might display tends to come off rather a** holish or mean.

Territorial Issues: As is in his nature, Braulio is extremely territorial of his belongings or what he deems as 'his'. Be it trinket or person or living space, if someone shows a bit too much interest in his things he becomes confrontational and sometimes violent. Which in the past has often lead him to getting into fights. No matter what the size of his opponent, he is quick to make sure they know this belongs to him and they better back off with their interests.

You Eat What?: Alicanto eat gold and silver. And well, since Braulio is an Alicanto he also eats gold and silver. Its his favorite food. In any form he can get it. Raw or processed Braulio just doesn't quite feel the same unless he has a belly full of either. Generally after he has eaten he is in a slightly better mood but that mood doesn't last for very long. But here in Halloween town gold and silver are harder to come by, unlike his previous mountain home where he could find silver or gold veins.

Klepto Much?: With a pension for the shiney, Braulio has a tendency to swipe anything that he perceives as silver or gold. Or may have silver or gold properties in them. Even if the owner of said item is less that willing to relinquish ownership of the item. Again, leading to more fights. Though his thievery seems to tilt into the extreme when he has gone long periods of time without feeding. He would never admit to it, but every now and again you hear stories about a string of robberies among jewelry shops

Forever Alone: Braulio is quite possibly the poster boy of anti-social. More than likely to stand off to the side than to join a crowd. Many come to believe that he's just a complete and total a** hole. Perhaps even that he's too good to socialize with them. But in all honesty, Braulio generally just dislikes socialization, at least voluntary socialization. Him + others generally leads to fights, either he says something someone doesn't like, his territorial issues come into play, or any number of things he could probably name off the top of his head. It just feels better to deviate from the crowd to avoid any unneeded conflict that seem to always pop up in social or interactive situations.

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? Braulio hopes by coming to this school he can find a way to go longer without having to feed and perhaps somewhere, buried in some old and dusty archive there is more information about his species.

FEAR Ability:
Mesmerizing Flash - Braulio flaps his wings rapidly causing a mesmerizing effect as any light source shimmers off of them, making it harder for the target to land successful attacks.

The Mind: Lowers opponent’s accuracy; makes it harder for them to hit you.

Physical Description:

Humanoid Form:
Eye Colour: Silver
Hair Colour/Style: Gold, spikey mohawk with random silver streaks running through it.
Skin Colour: Dark golden tan.
Clothing Style/Colours: His clothes and accessories are generally light and minimal to keep from hindering him during flight. Generally consisting of a tank top and cargo shorts with a few gold accessories/piercings. Ref image is a general idea. (This is just a general idea as I suck at outfit designs, so artist can feel free to change things but he generally doesn't wear over encumbering clothes)
Extra: Talon feet that are gold in color with silver claws. Large gold wings that have a metallic shimmer to them and long gold tail feathers. On his cheeks, forehead, shoulders and shins he has a smattering of small gold feathers.
References: [x]

True Form:
Braulio rarely if ever transforms into his true form. If he ever felt comfortable and close enough to someone he might, but as of this date no one knows what his true form really looks like.

Name: Arnyek Neas
Nicknames: Her family call her Skugga
Gender: Female [Genderless when born]
Age: 15

Faction: Monster
Race: Shadow Void [Make up race, check third post of quest for details]

Natural Ability: Admix - Since shadow is shapeless, Arnyek is able to blend-in with others’ shadow.
Maybe Arnyek is hiding in your shadow now, who knows?


Personality:
== Stay away from me, boils! >///<; ==
Well, Arnyek is very very very shy to males. Whenever Arnyek meets a boy, her face will turn red and tends to find places to hide herself. She can talk to boils, but in a panic way. If a boy get too close to Skugga, she may blend into someone's shadow without notice so the conversation can't be continued. However, she can't hide her blush, so if you look carefully, you may notice a blushing shadow somewhere XD

== Friendly ==
Even though Arnyek is unforgiving, she has a high tolerance for friends. Arnyek loves to have friends, she hates to be leave alone. If her friend is in bad mood, Arnyek will try her best to cheer that person up!

Arnyek is a cat lover, FOR MANY REASONS. For example, their cuteness, fluffiness and so on. If you have an opportunity to sneak into Arnyek’s room, you will have the experience of surrounding by many cats. Don’t worry, they are only cat-related stuff that Arnyek likes to collect. Skugga will try all means to get minipets that she thinks like cats.....OH! Don’t be surprised if you see an owl or deer in her room, she sees some cat features in them = =;
She will ask you “Don’t you think its INSERT PART HERE looks like that of cats?”. WARNING! Be careful, don’t show your cat traits in front of Skugga if you don’t want a stalker!

For their race, they have unexplainable love towards animals, especially the weak one. So around Arnyek, you may find some little shadow beings as her companions. They are weak beings that created from the resentment of weak animals in human world, but they aren’t strong enough to become a race. Before entering the school, they are the good companions for Arnyek. They are just like little pets, but in a creepy manner.

== Secret lover ==
Arnyek, having the ability to hide in others’ shadows, love secrets.
She thinks knowing others' secrets = can get closer to others. Arnyek will lurk quietly in your shadow and follow you if she is interested in you. Don't worry, Skugga keeps secrets well. Just she wanna know more about you.
Maybe she wanna know what to give you on your B-day is the most prefect thing, maybe she wants to know the secret of your success, maybe she wants to know whether you have a lover or not.......she just has many reasons to stalk you for secrets.

== Hatred-nourishing==
Never! Never get Arnyek angry! She bears all the grudges, she won’t show her anger easily. Yet, Arnyek will remember that deeply in heart and wait for the revenge time.......
Bad treatment for your pets, rudeness or hurting her friends will give you big troubles. The most unforgivable act for Arnyek is leave him/ her alone in a bright place! You don’t want to know what's the consequences, I ensure! You don’t know what a shadow is capable of.....


Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?
Arnyek’s Uchitels recommended this school to her. Instead of teaching things to Arnyek by themselves, they though school can teach more than that. In addition, they feel that Arnyek needs to know more about the human world as well as make friends. She/ He can’t be always with them like a koala. Arnyek knows they are doing so for her own good and is curious about other species, she decided to enter this well-known school in Halloween Town. More important, there is rumor about her "brother" is in the academy too, so her uchitels asked her to find him.

FEAR Ability: Slient Whisper - A smoke-like aura appears to surround you, creating a fearful atmosphere that will weaken your attack power or even make it nothing. The disadv is it doesn't last long, the duration of the aura gained longer and stronger when she progresses.


Physical Description:
Eye Colour: Vivid red, with black scelera, smoky eyeshadow at corner.
Hair Colour/Style: Greyish white; irregular bangs;
curly and free for top layer with some tips like it’s about to vanish; two long tufts of hairs in the front and one big tuft at the back, with length and shape of hair tips ending equally.
Skin Colour: White with purplish-blue & grey mix undertones
Clothing Style/Colours: A cloak with hood, kind of ragged feeling with negative spaces to indicate it's not solid but semi-real. Occasionally, Arynek wears a very long scarf around the neck, she uses the scarf to hide her embarrassment. Clothing in elegant gothic lolita stlye, black, grey or browish, but not so cute such as gothic blouse with some ruffles and skirt or one-piece with irregular bottom edges, fringes and many folds. Long stockings in dark color and boots (can be long or short) to cover her legs. Sometimes, she wears a short robe-like short jacket, to cover her arms with some ragged effect on shoulder.
Extra: Clips or hair accessories are found on the front two tufts of hair
References: [Hair & Eyes Concept] | [Full Body] | [With Cape & Jacket]

Quest Thread: Arynek | Please find other information here~

REMARK: The clothing in reference is just a idea of what kind and color of clothing she would wear, artist can have 100% freedom to design her outfit.

Name: Devyn (Gaelic for Descendant of Damhán) Yimprorbaesh (Gaelic for bearer of death)
Nicknames: Dev
Gender: Female
Age: 16

Faction: Demon
Race: Cu Sith

Natural Ability: Dev is able to control the volume of her voice and the sounds that she makes. She can tread silently or shout out a message that can easily be heard within campus grounds.

Personality: She loves to socialize. While Dev may not always appear to be easily approachable, once she strikes up a conversation it is clear to see that she is always willing to talk with others. She does not mind being by herself, but prefers to be with company. It doesn’t matter who, and she is willing to meet new students for the sake of expanding her circle of acquaintances as well as to have more people to talk with. She is also not afraid to embarrass herself to cheer others up or to garner a few smiles. Nor does she mind helping out others, even if she does not know them very well.

She is laidback and open minded. Whatever idea her friends suggest to her, Dev is often willing to put up or follow along with. It is rare for the ghoul to be panicked or rushed, and at times it can even seem that she goes at her own pace; however, Dev does know when it is necessary for her to speed up her actions and decisions. She does not usually become angry, which makes her ideal for waiting on or teaching others. Dev does not mind repeating things nor does she mind waiting for someone else to finish or catch up. Rather, she is more likely to offer assistance.

Dev takes authority seriously. In general, she respects all forms of authority, but it is not uncommon for her to change her opinion of someone in particular, such as if she finds a leader mistreating his subordinates she will no longer respect him. However, it takes such repeated acts for Dev to be convinced to change her view on him. She does not approve of others disobeying orders/disrespecting authority, and will often be miffed and even furious if done enough times. Dev herself is rather adamant about following commands given by those in higher position and will only break them in order to help her friends or strongly disagrees with it.

It may be surprising to realize Dev loves to read books. Unlike the rest of her clan, she had an interest in reading and learning more about outside of her home. Rather than join the rest of her clan on hunts, Dev preferred to stay home or explore the land. Over the years, she has gained quick reading skills and also a penchant for riddles or puzzles.

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? For a while, Dev has always wanted to leave her home to explore the other parts of Halloween. She figured that attending school would allow her to not only leave, but also offer her a place to learn more than what she could from books.

FEAR Ability: (Headlights) Triple Bark She emits three barks that instill a sense of terror and fear that paralyzes a target for a turn.

Physical Description:

Eye Colour: Green glowing eyes, black scelra
Hair Colour/Style: Dark green and messy, but mostly pulled back into a long braid; however, some strands of hair still stick out.
Skin Colour: Not sure orz Tannish?
Clothing Style/Colours: Lots of black with some green. Scottish-inspired clothes. Boots similar to these
Extra: Her tail should be braided, dog ears
She has a flower on her right wrist from the Famine Room in Horsemen Meta! 8Da

Name: Tenacity
Nicknames: Tensy
Gender: Female
Age: 16

Faction: Monster
Race: Kasha – “a cat-like monster which steals corpses during a funeral.” Original(?) Source. Lore. (Some sources say monster, some say demon. I’m going with monster~)
Natural Ability: Minor levitation- Floats off the ground a few feet, as an alternative form of walking. Nothing like flight or anything. (Taken from the fact that Kashas “descend upon their enemies from the sky”)

Personality: Tenacity is as cuddly and curious as you’d expect a black cat to be. She’s a little sweetheart who just wants to cuddle you and fix all your problems if she can be of assistance. She’s motherly and willing to listen to your stories and work with you patiently through all your problems because she really likes watching others be happy- it makes her happy! Tenacity enjoys being an advice giver and being affectionate just as much as everyone else. She loves her little sister to pieces and that older sister tendency just comes out with people. Of course, even Tenacity has people she doesn’t like, but for the most part she’s willing to let bygones be bygones. She also doesn’t push when it comes to being caring- she can understand when people just want to be left alone.

To compliment this, she’s also rather laidback. With all her family members being relatively decent illusionists, she’s learned to keep a cool head. Things don’t easily bother her, and if they do she tries not to show it. She’s a relatively good listener and attempts to see both sides of the situation to the best of her ability. If there was one thing that really riled her up, it would be the bullying/rude types. She doesn't like those who put themselves above others.

Unfortunately, she has the age old problem of learning to say no. Although she’s laidback, she feels horrible if she doesn’t accept the requests that come to her, or helping out those in need- even when she really shouldn’t. She often overextends herself without actually meaning to. When she does get stressed out, she gets rather cranky and tends to snap selfishly at others, only to feel sorry later.

One thing about Tenacity is that she isn't particularly extroverted. She likes making friends and whatnot, but she can be rather shy and prefers the company of familiar things to new experiences. Not much else needs to be said about that- she's just shy in comparison to outgoing.

Tenacity is also pretty independent. As a Kasha in a bakeneko/warlock family, she's had to figure out her own FEAR and powers for herself. This isn't to say her family didn't help her, but for the most part she's been learning on her own. She tends not to ask for help when she really needs it, and has a hard time accepting assistance from others. She'd never want to burden another person- it would just make her feel horrible.

Another quirk she has comes with her personal belongings. As a Kasha, she tends to hoard things and put them in little piles in her room. She doesn’t like it when other people mess up her organization or take her things without asking. Her stuff is her stuff, please don't touch. (Of course, if you asked really nicely .... See the conundrum?)

Her hobbies are relatively simple, and relatively domestic. She has a fish tank filled with fluoresces that she cherishes and loves taking care of. As a Kasha, she eats human (corpse) body parts, so she has no desire to eat fish or any sort of stereotypical “cat foods.” There’s no stipulation to eat her baby fishes, so she loves keeping them. Aside from that, she’s actually rather nerdy. She likes video games and keeps a blog, but tries to keep it a secret- she’s not very keen to letting people know right off the bat that she’s a big nerd (teenage insecurities and all that). She's also a pretty good cook, though she likes baking more. It's nothing outstanding, but she likes baking treats from time to time.

Tenacity was “poofed” into Halloween and wandered around for a while until she was assigned to an adoptive family- a Bakeneko mother and a Warlock father. She also has a Bakeneko little sister, who she loves to pieces. Being adopted has no tragic effect on her- she doesn’t feel unloved or unwanted at all- why would she when she has 3 very loving family members? She loves her little sister to death, and is willing to go to great lengths for her, so departing to Amityville is a bittersweet ordeal. She has a bit of a sweet spot for the innocent, childish, ghouly types because they remind her of her sister.

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? With a Bakeneko mother, a Warlock father and a Bakeneko sister, Tenacity has always been surrounded by powerful magic users and illusionists. As a monster, she never really got the hang of it, so she wants to learn and investigate the more physical aspects of her person, so she can become a more well-rounded Kasha who can use their own innate talents to the best of their ability.

FEAR Ability: Tenacity’s hands grow ugly, large yellow claws that glow a bright blue (in the same way her eyes do) which she then uses to swipe at things. (Battle Cry)


Physical Description:

Eye Colour: Bright obnoxious teal that have glowing wisps, yellow sclera
Hair Colour/Style: Black, generally messy. Something like this, look more refs, omg more refs
Skin Colour: very pale, nearly white.
Clothing Style/Colours: Sweater dress, leggings, boots. Alternatively, something like this. Feel free to go crazy on the shoes- am not really particular on those. I dunno, mostly artist’s choice within parameters.
Extras: Cat ears- short and round. A black tail. Teal swirls on her cheeks. Yellow teeth, pink tongue. Feel free to put the skull pin wherever you’d like!

AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM

Name: Adiyan
Nicknames: None to date
Gender: Male
Age: 15

Faction Monster
Race: Fu Dog

Natural Ability: Shapeshifting - Able to change from his natural form to a more humanoid one and one that is very much in between the both of those forms.

Personality: Adyian is a kind and considerate person. He likes to meet new people and is willing try new things, but he is very cautious when in a new place. Because of how he is bullied by his peers at home as he is the runt of the clan. One he is comfortable in knowing where the escapes routes are he will start talking more than greetings others very politely. With those that Adyian knows that come with him to a new place he is a lot more relaxed to talking with others he doesn’t know than he would alone. Very pleasant to talk with and curious to learn about any new information to him, as he will politely ask if he could ask questions and tell them if they didn’t want to answer any of his questions then he would just drop it and move on. Coming from a very isolated forest mountain home he hardly got to know other races that well other than his own except for the rare trip down to the village at the base of the mountain or from the books that are housed in the clan’s library and just loves to read anything that he can get his claws on. Adyian likes to be around others, but there are times that he just likes to be with himself. One thing that you will constantly see on his person somewhere is a smooth stone ball that represents a flower of life that he will get once he becomes an adult.

It is in his blood to be a guardian to those that are in need either it be protection or just help in general as he would even help someone he didn't like if they needed his help. He is very loyal to his family and friends and would do anything for them. It’s hard for Adyian to ask for help from others as it makes him uncomfortable and makes him feel not very useful when he is supposed to be the one helping, not asking for it.

Adyian likes to keep an open mind for all things and to see all possibilities before going into action, whether it be talking out a problem or showing up for it if he really must. He keeps to the rules the best that he can and will break them only if he really must do so.

A big problem that Adyian has is that he has a big temper. It takes a while for him to get to the point that he goes into a blind rage where he can’t tell friend from foe. If its possible and if mad enough, Adyian will lose his concentration of his shapeshifting to revert back to his natural form. It rarely gets to that point but once it does it takes a lot of calmness or something shocking, like getting ice water thrown on him to finally return him to his senses. He is not proud of his temper, as he sees it as a hindrance since it could hurt those he is trying to protect or help. He will try to hide his temper the best that he can as he doesn’t want to hurt anyone that doesn’t deserve it. One sure way of telling if his temper is rising is his body language the first signs would be his ears pulled close to his head and growling slightly and his tail will be held ridged and high. The more angry he gets the more restless his body gets to want to punch who is making him angry and not forced to stay humanoid he will slowly shift back to his natural form. One of his big triggers is when others touch or pickup his stone ball without his permission. As it was a special gift and is also magical that he can change the ball's size when ever he wants, it also give off a ethereal smoke too. Another big trigger is seeing anyone bullying another as he really hates it because of the bulling that he receives at home.

To help keep that temper in check he meditates every day along with putting his passion into practicing fighting. It has been one of the few things that he can do to work out his frustrations and to workout any of his stress that has been built up. Mostly he practices alone as he just doesn’t want to hurt anyone but won’t pass up the opportunity if anyone wanted to be a sparring partner with him. One other thing that helps him with his temper that he likes to dig and find nice looking stones while he does.

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? To further his FEAR as he wants it to become stronger than anyone has done with there FEAR in his clan and to out do the bullies that have tormented him for most of his life. As well as to see all the different people that lives in Halloween Town and learn all that he can about them since he live in remote and slightly isolated forest mountain home.

FEAR: Stone Armor: With any type of stone around, Adiyan can mold it into armor to protect himself from damage. Right now it only covers vital parts of his body and will fall off with one blow of an attack. In later years the armor to become stronger, cover more of his body and to become less of a hindrance as well. (Barrier)

Physical Description:
Eye Colour: Glowing teal eyes, black sclera
Hair Colour/Style: Curly mid-back length/ See his natural form
Skin Colour: IDK, up to artist.
Clothing Style/Colours: Oriental inspired clothing as for the colors I will leave that up to the artist.
Extra: Tail, ears like his natural form, some of his stone plates on the bridge of his nose along with some of the stones that are around his eyes and clawed hands and feet. Adiyan wears his bell collar along with a pouch to keep his stone ball in and I would love if he was holding his stone ball too.

Posting for Intermediate Art <3

NAME OF STUDENT OR HUNTER AND THEIR JOURNAL LINK: Petra Walker
Proof of exam thread: FOUR MONTHS LATER, I ACTUALLY FINISH THIS

Any Intermediate specifications? I would LOVE to talk it over with whoever picks her up and get their opinion <3 I actually have only a VERY vague idea of what I think would be neat, and almost all are flexible, so the artist would have to be comfortable taking artistic liberties. Other than what's listed below, I really have no other suggestions, and am eager to discuss possible ideas <3

Personality recap

Extremely stoic. Cold personality, her voice is usually monotone, think along those lines. She's becoming increasingly more dangerous, mostly because she doesn't really seem to form close attachments, and seems to have very few problems brutally hurting halloweentowners, completely unperturbed that they look relatively human.

A few concept ideas! (I'll upload some god-awful references if/when I do any, just to clarify what I mean -- I realize it's probably super confusing orz)

- Her hair is shorter now, and almost all white (I'm thinking possibly black tips still, since it probably hasn't had the time ICly to grow ALL the way out.) The style is longer in the front and shorter in the back in sort of an angle cut that runs along her jaw -- easiest way I can describe the style would be to think Fae Valentine ish (Cowboy Bebop) I love the volume Mitsu gave her hair, so I'm kind of hoping that could carry over, but I'm leaning away from bangs... if the artist wanted to leave her little braids, that's completely up to them~

-I would like to keep her spats. Because I ADORE them. I'm sort of thinking some spats boots, because I think they're super classy?

-I'd kind of like to keep her color scheme mostly black, silver and white, (with the exception of her scarf, ofc,) but that's also COMPLETELY flexible <3

-Due to her promotion, she has scars on her left thigh from where a glass orb she was holding exploded.

-She's in Death now, not Moon <3

AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM

Name: Akubi
Nicknames: N/A
Gender: Male
Age: 16

Faction/Race Demon - Unlucky Cat
Natural Ability:
» Just a Minor Mishap - Some in his company may experience minor mishaps occurring such as tripping, something breaking, or perhaps a wardrobe malfunction. Nothing deadly happens though many may certainly be limping away with a stubbed toe and a bruised ego.

Personality:
» Schadenfreude
He loves misfortune of others, he revels in it even. Akubi will gleefully sit down with someone to listen to them all the while demanding details about someone's very bad day. This can either be considered therapeutic or just very unnerving because he sits and grins as he awaits details. So in a way if someone needs to vent...they can go to him just don't mind that he grins and claps delightedly as he listens. Because of his love of misery that others go through it might be a bit difficult for some to befriend him.

» Why so far away?
Sometimes his dorm is just too far away and thus he does not discriminate when it comes to a bed to nap on. He will go into any unguarded dorm and flop onto the bed of another student and nap if at all possible - in a way it reflects a feline's self-entitlement of the space of others. He'd try his best to be gone before anyone returns but sometimes he's very easily caught snoozing. At least he doesn't mess with other's things or read diaries. Needless to say he's pretty lazy at times, he would probably also sleep right in hallways if he doesn't even want to pull open doors to get to a bed.

» A friend indeed...
Akubi loves his friends. He loves flopping on them and invading their personal little spaces with or without permission given. Friends of Akubi tend to find themselves unaffected by bad luck as long as he's directly touching him - they don't get any luckier but at least they stop tripping and things stop breaking. He's pretty loyal to his friends - at least he wouldn't sell them out for a desire of wealth or other things.

» The Grudge has nothing on me!
He can be very unforgiving when someone crosses him and makes him angry. Akubi will go out of his way to make the person's life a living Hell until he is either satisfied or the victim of his grudge makes it up to him somehow. Amongst friends he is a bit more forgiving but if it is a stranger then it is a bit more difficult to get his forgiveness. He will get vengeance one way or the other. Vengeance can take form of cruel pranks or just outright striking the person upon seeing them or he will say awful things about them if they are within hearing until confronted. Friends that find themselves in the center of his grudge will simply be confronted by Akubi and given a chance to repent after he's had at least a little fun at their expense making them work for his forgiveness - he values his friends since they are a rare thing for him to have.

» Feline Hubris
Akubi thinks he is fantastic, great, and marvelous. He is Jack's gift to Halloween Town. His rather full of himself attitude will likely exasperate those around him should it get out of hand - as it sometimes does. There are times that when Akubi is feeling rather high and mighty that sometimes his 'aura' of misfortune will turn inward on itself and affect him making him screw up a task or when trying to show off a trick and it goes horribly wrong making a fool of him. Usually he can laugh it off when something goes wrong but there are times where he might scamper off to sulk in his shame.

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? He wants to be something more, he wants to achieve more, and he wants to be stronger than the other Halloween denizens he and his adopted family hang around. The family suggested the Academy to him and he decided that that would be the ideal place to hone his skills and to become something more than what he was. Akubi is determined to make his adopted family proud of him.

FEAR:
» Bad Luck Counter: Once per battle (at a moment of his choosing) he can 'reflect' his attacker's strike back at them through the use of his FEAR. The opponent will find their attack flying back to hit them instead of hitting Akubi. (Battle Mechanic: Gambler's Chance)

Physical Description:
Eye Colour: Yellowish with a bit of green around the pupils
Hair Colour/Style: Dark red-brown, messy, wild
Skin Colour: Pale
Clothing Style/Colours: Traditional Japanese style wardrobe and a pair of getas. He favors reds and dark grays. He always wears the noose around his neck. Can also do more 'modern' style of clothes as well, I have no idea on this (up to the artist).
Extra: Cat ears, Slit pupils, Sharp teeth, Sharp nails on hands and feet, Very short bob tail

DEUS EX MACHINA PERSONNEL FORM

The Hunter
Name: Taani Prakash
Nicknames: RP Shall Decide
Gender: Female
Age: 17

Category: Moon


The Weapon
Name: Charles Radcliffe
Nicknames: I need one for normal use, Razzle Dazzle
Type of Weapon: Weighted net (Please click for ref. Tres importante) Approximately the size to snare a person.
Former species of weapon: Reaper
Gender: Male


Personalities: Dancer/Actress: Taani grew up wanting to be a dancer. She liked to watch Bollywood films growing up, and wanted to be an amazing dancer and a star in her own right. She admired the women that she saw, but also wished that the heroines were not constantly needing to be rescued.

Confident: Lets face it, if you’re going to get out there an be an actress you probably need to be pretty sure of yourself. And Taani is. She’s perfectly content with herself as a dancer, with her looks, even her personality. Her ability to fight on the other hand may be something she tries to ignore.

Booksmart: Taani knows quite a bit. She speaks both Hindi and English fluently, and is teaching herself French in her spare time. She had parents that pushed her toward education to try to teach the dancing nonsense right out of her, but instead she studied hard so that she could play hard. However, she was fairly sheltered, and rarely left without supervision.

Ignores: Sometimes Taani gets so lost thinking about her own motivations she forgets that others are there. She will unintentionally ignore people if they do not firmly get her attention before speaking to her. Saying her name is not enough, forcing eye-contact can sometimes help.

Charles Radcliffe:

Aristocrat: Charles Radcliffe grew up in a fairly stuffy reaper family. He plays the gentleman, but can be very judgmental. He likes a life of luxury, and even as a weapon likes to be pampered with fine music, and reverence. Taani sometimes humors him, but if he gets too obnoxious may just decide to carry him about in a plastic sack until he gets over himself.

Complisult: Radcliffe is fairly likely to insult you, but he usually manages to tack on a compliment to make it seem like it will be nice. “That dress is gorgeous. You, however, look awful in it.”


Why did your human character choose to become a Hunter?
India has its fair share of demons and monsters. At a young age when she was around bad things, Taani could tell something was wrong. She could see things that others couldn’t and her parents feared she was possessed.

She tried to ignore these things as she struggled through balancing her passion (dancing/acting) with her parent’s passion (education). And then something began to happen to her little brother. It was subtle at first, him seeking out her parents because of a “monster under the bed.” But then it began to happen on a nightly basis. He became paranoid, and got to the point that he became sick due to exhaustion destroying his immune system. This continued and he was admitted into the hospital. During one of her “shifts” of watching him the creature that had been tormenting him appeared, her speaking to it startled it and it fled. Though her brother recovered physically he was somewhat broken mentally, and she vowed to try to stop whatever it was that had done this.

Because she went in with the goal of protecting innocents like her brother in mind, Taani joined the moon faction. She can use Fitz in a variety of useful ways, as nets are often used outside of fights. Fitz could even be bound to two poles to make a stretcher.


Weapon Ability
Fitz was a reaper, but his weapon was a net. Therefore his special moves reflect the ones that he himself used, rather than species specific abilities.

Snare (Uses Barrier): Taani flings Fitz onto an opponent, pinning them down to block damage (depending on battle situation it may be that Fitz is flung between the two of them or her/multiple attackers).


Physical Description:

Eye Colour: Dark, dark brown, espresso?
Hair Colour/Style: Either mid-dark brown or black
Skin Colour: I can’t describe skin tones XD Something like that perhaps?
Clothing Style/Colours: Standard hunter coat. Her scarf is red, but I would like to see it incorporated as her sari. I’d like her overall clothing to be Bollywood based, red with gold accents. She’s not afraid/bothered about showing skin, and probably enjoys baring some midrift. I think it would be fun for her to be in a skirt, no matter how obnoxious it seems for fighting, but I’m open with to pants or whatever. I’d like the colors to stick, but most of this is a suggestion. Henna things would also be love~

Whatever color/glow for Radcliffe is fine~ Runes on the weights?

Extra: I’d like her to have a few jewelry pieces. Desummoned Radcliffe would probably look something like this (colors can/may vary to match his summoned form) so her neck should be fairly bare without him there. Also: I think bare feet would be fun 8D
References: (If you have art or design sketches for your character, include them here!) None!

AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM

Name: Reiko Yamamura
Nicknames: Rei
Gender: Female
Age: Died at age 16, has been dead less than a year

Faction: Ghost
Race: Onryo

Natural Ability: Minor Telekinesis: Reiko can move very small or light objects with her mind. She can only move them a few feet, and it can also overact a bit when she is extremely stressed.

Personality:
“How May I Help You?”: Rei is unfailingly polite in the Japanese model. She is deferential to everyone around her, especially those of higher status, prefers to avoid disagreement, would never criticize anyone in her group of friends, and refuses to accept credit for her accomplishments, preferring to praise friends for theirs. She is very much a “proper lady,” and finds herself aghast at girls who do not behave this way. She will almost never let this slip, unless someone were to extremely fluster or upset her.

Politeness Judo, Away!: Rei can be very good at getting people to do what she wants simply by being so darned nice. A smile and a soft request, she has found, go much further than an angry demand, and she is good at diffusing brewing arguments and making each participant walk away with the idea that they’ve won. If politeness doesn't work, she's likely to back down.

Friends Forever!: Once you get to be her friend, Rei is your friend forever. She places a high value on loyalty, and would never do anything to hurt or upset a friend on purpose. She would be extremely distressed if she did it by accident.

Silk Hiding Steel: Sweet and shy as Rei is, if you hurt her or one of her friends, you had best believe that she will not be happy. And when Rei is not happy, her goal immediately becomes to make whoever made her unhappy just as unhappy as she is.

NEVER FORGIVE NEVER FORGET: It may take forever to get Rei truly upset, but once she is, she never lets go of a grudge. Onryo are spirits of revenge, after all! She will spend months or even years paying someone back for a slight in small, subtle, almost undetectable ways. Rei’s vengeance is not loud or fast-it is slow, subtle, and effective.

Please Don't Be So Loud: Rei is naturally quiet and deferential, but around someone who is very loud and boisterous or directly bossy, she becomes even more so than usual, barely able to do more than nod and squeak out agreements.

I Do Not Appreciate Your Male-Ness: Reiko's first response to someone male is a deep, abiding distrust and discomfort. She doesn't understand where it stems from, all she knows is that anyone male is not to be trusted. It tends to lead to a desire to hurt them before they hurt her, but generally she's able to suppress it to little more than being very clipped and obviously uncomfortable around them. It would take quite a bit to overcome this. This applies regardless of whether the person behaves in a masculine or feminine manner. For instance, if she were to misidentify a male as a female, upon finding out she was wrong she would immediately become uncomfortable with him, moreso perhaps because she would feel deceived by his appearance. Conversely, upon finding out the real gender of a boyish female, she would immediately like that person much better. She is also much more likely to interpret the actions and behaviors of males in a negative light and to unleash the full power of her vengeance on them.

Conflicted: This stems from her natural distrust of males-Reiko cannot remember not feeling that way, but she also doesn't understand why she does, and on an intellectual level she realizes that the people she is so readily distrusting have not done anything to harm her and have given her no reason to feel that way. She feels guilty and conflicted about this, because she knows it's not "right" to feel this way but she can't ignore it.

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? After Reiko first found herself in Halloween, she was taken in for a while by an older onryo, who told her about Amityville and indicated it might be the best place for a young ghost such as herself. For her part, Reiko liked the idea of being able to meet others and learn more about Halloween.

FEAR Ability:
Contort: Reiko bends herself in ways that should not be possible and develops claws on her hands and feet. Twisted like this, she can skitter quickly towards opponents and claw them multiple times.
-Follows the "Swift Strikes" mechanic(?)

Physical Description:

Eye Colour: Brown
Hair Colour/Style: Black, reaches past her waist, usually in her face.
Skin Colour: Extremely pale, just off from white
Clothing Style/Colours: A traditional Japanese kimono and sandals; the kimono is white with extremely light pink trim and a light pink obi, the sandals are light brown. Both are stained with what looks to be very old blood and slightly tattered. She also wears a flower hairpin; what kind of flower might vary, she has a fairly large collection.
Extra: None

The Hunter
Name: Harland Leander Belle
Nicknames: I'm sure these will generate themselves, given his last name >>
Gender: Male
Age: 23

Category: Death. What can he say? He likes to get what he wants, and he enjoys going out to get it. In this case, info! >>

Name: Coyote
Nicknames: "You b*****d," according to Harland.
Type of Weapon: A lasso of golden wire.

Gender: Male

Personalities:
Harland Belle's Fantastical Personalty

xxPOS + TRAITS
xxxxxLet's Keep This Civil, Or Take It Outside, Boys; Harland is big on manners, and he's big on working things out. He doesn't particularly enjoy a dispute which ends poorly, and he will avoid interpersonal conflict if possible, making him a fairly effective team-member. Harland will, even with most "enemies," try to maintain at least basic civility, even if that's just a Would you kindly get the hell out of our lives now and again. Should he find himself in a situation which cannot be talked through or negotiated, Harland maintains polite vocabulary and sentence structure, but he doesn't necessarily continue to act the gentleman. His determination to try to be polite, however, stems from his desire to create a positive environment for anyone around him, and it can be considered an asset that he's more or less pleasant to be around, even when he doesn't necessarily like someone personally. His pleasant demeanor can help him play the "good cop" in situations which require information extraction, but Harland's not a pushover-- if he needs to be, he'll fight just like anyone else.

xxxxxJust the facts, thank you kindly! ; Without fact, Harland falters or grows unsure of himself, so he likes to collect as many facts as possible to support the information he is gathering or after. Harland isn't interested in personal stories, though his manners will sometimes allow people to finish explaining before he gently tries to guide them back to the actual question at hand. Harland is a wealth of information and his memory works like a steel trap: once something is in there, it probably won't escape any time soon. If you need information memorized or stored in general, Harland can do that for you, no problem. He becomes kind of a walking encyclopedia, except he doesn't always understand the information he has collected. It gives rise to an occasional wtf moment as Harland might use vocabulary in a completely inappropriate way, just because he thinks that it can be applied in a certain place... when it really can't be.

xxNEUTRAL o TRAIT
xxxxxIt's out there somewhere, I just know it...!; Harland Leander Belle does not give up easily, for better or worse. He seizes on to tidbits of information and hunts them down to their inevitable conclusion; he is simply not one to let go of a trail. When he's on the right trail, that's a good thing, but sometimes he catches scent of the wrong trail entirely and wastes time and resources in pursuit of false information.

xxNEG - TRAITS
xxxxxSo, let me see if I've got this down straight...; Followed by Harland either counting on his fingers or staring upwards in perplexity and chewing on his lip. Iin a gun fight he'd probably be the one slow to draw: when he's focused, or when he's relaxing, Harland's brain is just a little further away from the starting point than anyone else's might be. It can be kind of infuriating, because when you need Harland to think fast, he just might not be able; it applies mostly when he has to change from one subject to another really quickly, or when attempting to correct Harland's misinformation. Basically, if you're trying to tell him that something he knows is wrong, he will take an abnormally long time to register it. Although his memory is like a steel trap, he also gathers a lot of information, and his tricks for remembering it can be a little weird sometimes.
xxxxxI'll save y'all; His hero complex is by no means a good thing. Harland Belle acts as though he's right out of some kind of novel, when it comes down to a crunch, and he can significantly fail to see the 'bigger picture' or process information effectively when he's misled by someone he thinks needs to be "saved." You know those scenes in movies where the hero lets a misguided "villain" get away because they think that the villain meant well or that they can really change this time? That's Harland. No matter how many facts he can gather, they're useless if he keeps letting himself misinterpret those "facts" and he leads himself on a wild goose chase or lets himself be swayed by personal ties or his inner desire to be a hero. If he thinks he can save someone, he will probably never do the "right thing," making him dangerous on a team if he can't be trusted to be loyal.

Coyote's Basics

xxxxxA better smooth-talker than Harland himself, Coyote was once a deceptive creature who devoured women who were tricked by his facade. As a result, Coyote is somewhat of a womanizer, as much as a golden lasso can be. While Harland is normally quite polite anyway, Coyote sometimes refuses to help him out if he thinks Harland is being too impolite.He really hates how slow Harland can be, but loves dashing into action, so Coyote constantly encourages Harland to get a move on. However, Coyote also urges Harland to bow out early, because he equally doesn't like it when the odds aren't in his favour; he's very much an opportunist at heart.

Why did your human character choose to become a Hunter?
xxxxxWhen Harland was a little boy, he really loved swimming. He loved it so much that when they said that there was absolutely no way that anyone was brave enough to swim out to the depths of the lake, and he said that he would. Forget everyone else! Harland was an impetuous seven year old and nothing was stopping him.
xxxxxHe was a pretty strong swimmer, actually, and nothing did stop him. The problem was that after he swam, the weather got quite bad, and because he was a little boy, he didn't really take care of himself. As a result, he got very sick, very fast; his parents didn't realize until too late how very sick he was. By the time they brought him to the hospital, he was dying from dehydration and pneumonia coupled together. On the brink of death, the doctors were essentially advising them that their son would not make it through.
xxxxxThat was about when Harland Leander Belle started to see and hear things he shouldn't. He should have been afraid, or cautious, or something-- but he wasn't. At first, they thought it was delirium brought on by the edges of death. When it didn't fade, his parents started to worry. Harland did not worry. Instead, he was pretty excited, and the typically not-bookish Harland took to the library with passion once he was well enough (he did, in fact, recover; just in time, with a few health side effects). From that moment on, Harland was determined to find out just what it was he swore lived under his bed, or where the voices were coming from, and why he was seeing these things. So when he was, after being sent away to and subsequently nearly graduating from a boarding school for troubled teens, recruited by a Deus Ex member he was all too happy to finally get a sanctioned chance to find out what the hell was going on. Besides, it's not like his parents thought he was sane anyway.


Weapon Ability
[[Hidden Teeth]] | Tainted Fang | The lasso's surface warps, producing metal thorns that tear at the captive's skin and cause damage over time depending on how long it takes the opponent to free themselves.

Physical Description:

Eye Colour: Gunmetal green.
Hair Colour/Style: This can definitely be up to the artist. Right now it's a kind of rosy brown with sunny streaks. I'm not too picky.
Skin Colour: Tanned with freckles.
Clothing Style/Colours: I'd really like his "scarf" to be incorporated as a bandanna, if that can slide > A>; Otherwise, he's cowboy-based!... So cowboy boots and jeans, or chaps of some kind e ue ... Etc. Red cowboy boots are preferred, preferably with some kind of embroidery, no matter how simple! Spurs would be nice, too.
Extra: A red ring on one hand, potentially..! And definitely his leather gloves, however they're designed, since he'll be handling that gold whip as his weapon.
References: In the post here and the one below it! I'm flexible on his appearance, however.

((Further personality information can be found in the quest thread))

Why did your human character choose to become a Hunter?
Stormy had been relatively normal up until her family moved into an old rumored-to-be-haunted house. After having bouts of paranoid periods and increasingly down moods there over the years, Stormy's father allowed her to stay in a hospital to continue treatment of her depression, as it was beginning to affect her school work and social life. While in therapy, Stormy continued to feel dogged by what felt like spirits that fed off her darker moods, flickers of shadows where she didn't look, and sometimes even the unbeatable sensation of being watched, and she began to spiral in a helpless dive emotionally; both the psychiatrist and her dad was concerned by these episodes though they were unsure of how to help since it seemed the medicine was not working. By the time she was approached by a Hunter to join the cause, Stormy was ready to either kill herself to escape the horrible cycle or fight back - the knowledge that there were others like her helped cement the decision towards the latter.

Weapon Ability Ravenous Rending (Gambler’s Chance)
With darkness swirling about the keyblade, Stormy furiously and mindlessly swings at the enemy with blinding speed, each hit draining her of her own energy regardless of hit or miss; incurred wounds look tainted with cold, inky darkness. The resulting wounds on either combatants look very much like something with long claws raked across the skin, most aimed towards where the heart would be located (a result of Crook's cravings).


Physical Description:

Stormy is mostly CC save for a few details and a theme:

Eye Colour: Bright gray/green
Hair Colour/Style: Warm chestnut color, wavy to mid back - x; can be down or up in a ponytail with a ribbon
Skin Colour: Slightly bronzed
Coat: Coat looks a little big on her since she's small! As for the scarf, Stormy would prefer to wear it as either a sash; color idk. OTL Do love the additions on the sleeves Peas made, though!

Clothes Style: Stormy's attire is mostly practical but with some Bohemian touches. Since I'm terrible with coming up with clothing, I tend to just give some overall guidelines and let the artist CC the rest. A good set up would be something like this minus the vest and with more combat-ready boots - basically being a bit flowy without being in the way, if that makes sense? There can be more colors too, and the hat is pretty modifiable depending on how you feel. I would like her to have a ribbon tied around one of her legs in a bow~

Theme: Stormy is shortish (5'2") and innocuous-looking, pretty much youthful and girlish in appearance. Her looks are meant to be at odds with her more vicious looking weapon, and most likely there is a distant look in her eyes. Doesn't matter the expression so long as it had a sleepy tinge to it. I'm often bad at making clothes and color combinations, hence the CC! Small bits of jewelry are fine too.

Weapon Appearance
Crook is like the forbidden lovechild of Chaos Ripper, Darkgnaw, and No Name; each link has a helpful description since the images're kinda small. Basically the weapon has No Name's slenderness and spiky tips/glow, something similar to Darkgnaw's color scheme, and Chaos Ripper's overall feel of monstrosity (especially the eye placement); this is also a very good interpretation in terms of design and length.

Colors would be black and blue hues to continue having a sort of shadowy feel, and I'd like the yellow eye to be somewhere. Some vein like markings to reflect Crook's original species would be boss, and if the artist wants to add some runic symbols they can be superimposed with a lighter color. The keychain would be the heartless symbol, the chain itself being whatever color fits best.

Still CC-able within the limit of what the name Crooked Smile of the Wicked sounds like to you. The refs above are pretty good, but the teeth should be sharper. As a note, the hilt looks like a neoshadow's jagged antennae.

QUEST THREAD

AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM

Name: Uragiri
Nicknames: Ura, U-chan, Ri-Ri.. call her ANYTHING but her full name.
Gender: Female
Age: 15

Faction: Monster
Race: Kiyohime

Natural Ability: Firebreathing - A Kiyohime's fire is fueled by their rage. Ura has plenty of it.


Personality:
-Fashionable & On the Pulse of Culture
Ri-ri loves everything pop culture related. She wants to know what every celebrity is doing, wearing and listening to. She buys every teen magazine and takes every quiz and wants to own the brands that all the stars own. She isn't wealthy so they are usually knockoffs but she will get very upset if anyone points that out!

-Personable-
Ri-ri loves to make friends. She's very easy going and doesn't usually think twice about approaching someone who seems interesting and starting up a conversation.

-Rebellious-
Ri-ri wants to do anything possible to separate herself from the old fashioned, restrictive nature of her mothers. If they say no to something than she is definitely going to go out and do it anyway. She's run away (never for more than a day or very far) several times and she tends to like all the modern, loud and technological things that they can't understand.

-Loving and Hating-
Ri-ri falls hard for guys. Hard and fast. Literally within moments of meeting a boil she may find herself head over heels. But that intense emotion is double sided. She's just as likely to hate him soon after for any small infraction. Did he make fun of her favorite band? Did he say he thought a particular movie was stupid? SO MUCH HATE. WHY ARE THEY SO TERRIBLE?
Oh the emotions of a 15 yr old girl....

-Anger Management-
Part of a kiyohime's nature is anger. Ri-ri has a quick temper which can soon lead to embarassment and tears. When her anger flares up she has a tendency to breathe a bit of fire. This is always proceeded by the air heating up around her face so it's rather obvious to anyone around her. She has a hard time controlling it and usually flees with embarassment unless she's needed to stand and fight.

-Emptiness-
Sometimes Ri-ri finds herself overcome with an uncontrollable loneliness. She can't explain it but may just space out for a moment with a sad look on her face. The lingering longing and betrayal that comprises the kiyohime's nature is something that she has to learn to live with. It is something that does not go away. This constantly leaves the ghoul seeking love.


Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? She badgered her clan until they gave in. Amityville is a bit high profile now that Johnny Danger is attending there and she read about it in a magazine. Her rebellious nature made it easy for the clan to make a decision. She is a bit more of a handful than they expected.

FEAR Ability: THUMP! - Ura slams her tail on the ground (or her feet, if humanoid) creating a massive shockwave that damages the target. She can hit someone directly or target the ground near them to knock them off their feet.


True Form:
Her true form is that of a long, water serpent. The body is smooth, flesh toned scales with no limbs. The head of the serpent is simply a more monstrous looking human face and breasts with flowing hair on the head and tip of the tail.

Physical Description:
She is a young, funky japanese girl. Her tastes change depending on whats trending and she's currently in a bit of a 'punk' phase. She doesn't dress too scandalous though she will wear a short skirt every now and then. She's only 15 remember! Never not high heels though.. being super short sux!
Eye Colour: Black
Hair Colour/Style: Black color, cut in a short and funky style.
Skin Colour: Pale
Clothing Style/Colours: She is still pretty young so she mostly wears skinny jeans, high heels (because she's short), and punk style layered tops/jackets/hoodies. She loves makeup, jewelry, belts, earrings.. everything fashionable and fun. She currently dresses with a punk kind of flare.
Extra: She has webbed fingers and toes. She also has a tail, smooth and flesh toned towards her body but shifting gradually to a blueish black color and tipped with a tuft of black hair. It's not very long, just above the ground in length.

Hair ideas (dramatic makeup included): Short and Funky, dramatic eyes || Punky girl hair
