Sign Ups Nocturne Academy: Year One

[Naoto]

Welcome, to Nocturne Academy. In times long ago, monsters and humans were constantly at war, and much blood was spilt. Rising from the gore this war brought about, was Vlad Alucard Tepes III, he ended the war with a mere display of his power, and his many followers, and decided to seclude the monsters from humans in their own sanctuary. A sanctuary for monsters, created by monsters. Centuries past, and this bloody war has almost faded from the memory of both sides, with the knowledge of monsters now fading into existence... That was until a month ago.

The date was June 21st 20xx, A special broadcast interrupted all programs on american televisions, and appeared a dashing young man appeared on the screen, sitting on a throne wearing a collared shirt and jeans. He had pale skin, and blood red eyes.

"Hello, humans", he greeted, in a warm and welcoming voice. "My name is Bennett Vlad Tepes, son of Vlad Tepes III. I apologize for interrupting your daily routine, but i do so for no small reason. I am here to tell you the monsters you all believe as mere fairytale are in reality, just as real as you are now. We mean you no harm, and we wish for peace among our species. To facilitate this, we are starting a program at Nocturne Academy, a school opening next fall for both humans and monsters alike. For monsters, they will be given full scholarships and sanctuary. For human's courageous enough to help aid in taking these first few steps towards peace, they will also receive full scholarships and sanctuary, along with any one wish they so desire upon graduation. You may see our website for this program, those who feel this is a mere hoax need not apply." The websites details appeared on the screen for a minute or two, and the screen faded into static.

Spoiler

Name: Drew Alexandrite
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Species Human

Appearance: Drew is an average looking guy, standing at 5,7 and weighing 150 lbs. He has olive toned skin, mousy black hair, pale blue eyes, and a slightly round face. He typically wears a black hoodie over a red t shirt with a pair of faded jeans and vans sneakers.

Personality: Drew is very friendly and outgoing, and he's the kinda guy who usually has a smile on his face. He's fairly good with little kids, being a big brother himself, and he's very loyal to his friends and family. Despite this however, he has a nasty habit of worrying about others well being over his own, and he usually hides behind any pain he's feeling behind a smile. He can come across as a little ditzy, but he has good sense of intuition, and he's a lot more observant then people give him credit for. Despite this however, he can be very frightening if anyone threatens those he cares about, and he also gets very quiet compared to how ditzy he usually is, bringing to mind the phrase "Tranquil Fury". His hobbies include drawing, and reading Manga.

History: Drew's the oldest of 5 siblings, and his mom is single, his dad having died 4 years prior. He hopes that by attending Nocturne Academy, he can assure the future of his family.

Abilities: N/A

Wish: Life time support for his family so they can always have food on their table and a roof over their heads.

Talents: Drew's a decent artist, and he's actually used to manual labor thanks to having worked a variety of odd jobs to provide for his family.
Other: N/A

Name: Milla Scarlet
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Species: Vampire

Appearance: Milla Stands at 5.2 and weighs 110 lbs. She is slim, with slender arms and legs, and seems to have a classy and regal beauty about her. She carries herself rather formally, with a grace that even fully grown adults would have a hard time replicating. Milla has pale white skin, with waist length pin straight hair, with long bangs, blood red eyes, and a pair of fangs that are visible when she opens her mouth wide or smiles. She typically wears a cream form fitting turtle neck sweater with a black skirt that comes down to mid thigh with black tights and brown loafers.

Personality: The best way to describe would be like the winter frost before spring. She can be a bit of an ice queen, and while she has no problem belittling others or making threats, she's actually a genuinely nice girl, who acts as a big sister almost to the point of being motherly. Milla has very little tolerance for cowardice, and she has a high sense of honor. While she comes across as aloof, in reality it's mostly her idea of being professional and her inability to socialize with anyone her age that makes her seem that way. Finally, she's very frightening when angered, and will not tolerate sexism or racism WHAT SO EVER! (She despises sexism and racism on both sides).

History: Will be revealed in the RP

Abilities: As a Vampire, she's much strong and agile then a human, being able to perform feats of strength and speed not even olympic athlete would be able to replicate. Her senses are also sharper then a human's, having a fairly strong sense of smell and better vision. She's capable of regeneration, wounds healing almost in minutes. However, if her heart is punctured or her head is severed, she's as good as dead. Finally, if she's stabbed with wood from the Yew Tree, her immense ability to heal will be largely restricted, and it won't be restored until the Yew is removed and she drinks blood from a living human. While it's not fatal, her skin is a little more sensitive to the sun the a human's making her prone to sun burn. Lastly, she's capable of transforming human's into Vampires by injecting her own blood into them via her fangs.

Wish: N/A

Talents: She's a decent singer, well versed in literature, but her cooking is terrible to the point of rendering the consumer vulnerable to instant food poisoning.

Other: N/A

[Naoto]

@Infinity Storm; thats fine, your reserved

 

[Midorikawa]

Name: Gaston Solaire
Age: 16-Sophmore
Gender: Male
Species: Phoenix

Appearance: Gaston has long flaming red hair that goes to about mid back, his bangs are cut shorter to shoulder length usually on either side of his face. Some of his hair is short in the back, and curls up. His hair is feathery due to being feathers, and his eyes are like flames. He is tall at 6'2'' and still growing a bit with a thin and lean build, and light skin. His clothing choice is usually casual yet dapper.

Personality: Gaston is very quiet and shy. In fact he doesn't talk at all except once in a blue moon. To communicate, if he does, he usually uses expressions, and well his hands. He often stays away from others, and if a fight comes to pass, he prefers to hide and avoid being involved. However he is a kind soul and if he sees someone who tripped he would help them up and then run away.

History: Gaston grew up with just his mother having no knowledge of his father due the male being a one nighter with his mother. He however does know that his father is a phoenix like him due to him being a full blooded phoenix. Outside of that he grew up often staying inside not because of any special circumstance, but just because he was naturally shy, a trait that his own mother had had. He loved to spend his time reading, and is most comfortable with family, save for his cousin Alexander who frightens him. Once it came time for high school, his mother and him decided to send him to Nocturne. While he became slightly more brave in his first year, he is still very very shy.

Abilities: He can of course turn into his phoenix form. Doing this burns up his clothes unless there is something he has that prevents this. Likewise he can fire flames from his hands and heat his body up to a higher temperature, higher than any species as nothing is hotter than a phoenix's fire. However his weakness is of course water. Being wet makes it hard to ignite and this is the only way to kill a fully fledged phoenix. Being only sixteen however, he is not fully fledged and is more prone to sickness and what not.

Wish: Porm

Talents: He is a straight A student and is fluent in french and english, not that he speaks.
Other: Narwhals narwhals swimming in the ocean, causing a commotion, coz they are so awesome.

[Isaac Gates]

[SukiWooper]

Name: Angela "Anne" Slate
Age: 14- Freshman
Gender: Female
Species: Gorgon

Appearance: Anne's face is covered with a plain white mask. She has hair that is composed of snakes, with them ranging from a foot to a foot and a half in length. Her skin is sickly green, and cracking at certain places. From the waste down, her body's snake like.
She usually "stands" at about five and a half feet, however, counting the tail, she's 24 feet in length.

Personality: Anne is kind and creative, but can tends to be a bit distant from people, especially the ones she's close too. However, she tends to hold grudges, and can be rather spiteful to people she dislikes.

Abilities: She constantly emits a triangular beam of green light from her face, with a range of 20 feet. Any living being (besides herself) that gets hit by this ray gradually turns into marble, and will fully be turned after 25 seconds (leaving the beam or blocking it before the 15 seconds slowly reverses the process, though at 1/4th petrification speed). Her mask is made to block this power.

She can turn them back to normal by having a snake on her head bite them. Those that are turned to stone remain unconscious until they are turned back. If the stone is damaged and they are turned back, the person will be injured, possibly fatally.

She can see, smell, and taste through the snakes on her head. The snakes are mildly venomous, acting as a stimulant. She is also capable of very quick motion, but only in short bursts, as she tires easily.
As for weaknesses, she doesn't fair well in especially cold areas, being cold-blooded.

Wish: N/A

Talents: Is rather good with fashion and makeup.
Other: None

 

[Naoto]

@SudoWooper; Denied for the time being. I apoligize, but you need to edit some of your characters abilities some, simply turning everything she sees to stone when taking off her mask, while acurately resembling the myth, is a little to overpowered for the purposes of combat in this RP. Please alter this ability and i will look at it again.
@Midorikawa; Approved
@theacegamer; and @Zidar Ravencrypt; reserved

 

[SukiWooper]

Changed it to a cyclops-like beam, and made the transformation gradual and escapable.
If it's still too overpowered, any other ideas?

 

[Yun]

Name: Amynta "Myn" Naavah
Age: 16 - Sophomore
Gender: Female
Species: Dragon

Appearance
Amynta is rather tall, standing around 6'1" in height. Her body is heavily trained, boasting impressive toning and a few scars from her family's unforgiving regimens. One of these scars can be seen going horizontally across her face, which is a customary trait of women whom have been deemed worthy enough to pass on their father's name. She has taken after her largely in appearance, with hazel eyes, dark skin, and maw of fangs. She gained from her father his ashen white hair, which travels down to her shoulders. Amynta frequently dresses with accessories from her family's culture.

Personality
As expected of woman in her family, she is quite combative and quick to settle things with a fight. She is a jovial person, if not very threatening due to her imposing physique and brash nature, and is quick to help those who need it. Much like the people in the Naavah family, she is very conscious of how her family's reputation is reflected on her. In conjunction with this, she finds herself bogged down with the expectation of succeeding her family name.

History
Shall be revealed through RP.

Abilities
Amynta's abilities allow her to utilize her natural draconic skills. With heightened strength, agility and endurance, she is able to fight well in hand-to-hand combat situations. Her trademark is her species' ability to partially and wholly transform themselves - they can call upon their various draconic body parts to perform a task they require. This, however, is extensively taxing on her as a whole; the cells she uses to manipulate her form are destroyed and recreated constantly. She does not possess the healing factor of her people as of yet, so she is unable to simply reproduce them at will.

Talents
She is a very potent hand-to-hand combatant, as her species is very combat-centric. However, after coming to Nocturne, she picked up some skills in engineering based work.

[Hector]

Name: Xavier Drake
Age: 16, Sophomore
Gender: Male
Species: Human

Appearance: His face covered with semi-permanent stubble, his dirty blond hair short and yet a bit messy, and his light blue eyes usually having bags under them, Xavier very much has the appearance of someone who's always on the move. He wears black leather boots, a red vest and a black button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up. He is also armed with a number of weapons, betraying his life's pursuit. Around both legs he wears bands that store a number of yew wood stakes and on his back he has two one-handed repeating crossbows holstered in shoulder holsters, their bolts also made of yew. In his boots he keeps two large combat knives for emergencies.

Personality: Xavier's personality is shaped heavily by his departed mother. Like her, he has a huge heart and is exceedingly generous. Even in the current depths of his grief, he keeps a positive demeanor and doesn't shut himself out of the world. He is a friendly sort, cracking jokes with a smile, and using his charm to make others feel welcome. He is also intensely loyal to those he cares about. However, his hatred for vampires is also all consuming, a hatred that keeps him driven to learn how to kill them.

History: Growing up in a quiet town with a loving family had made Xavier's childhood typical and rather enjoyable. His mother and father were loving and his family got along well. But at the age of fourteen, that all changed when one night while Xavier was on a hunting expedition with his father, a group of vampires broke into the family home and murdered his mother. Driven mad by grief, his father tried to chase after them but was also killed as well. Now alone in the world, Xavier had no idea what to do except succeed where his father did not, getting revenge on his mother's killers. It was with this desire that he began to train as a vampire hunter, beginning with using the family money to track down whatever information he could find on the supernatural. Going to the academy was the next step, to learn how to kill the beasts.

Abilities: N/A

Wish: Revenge on his mother's killers

Talents: He's an excellent chef, a good card player and even better at the sleight of hand tricks required to cheat at cards.

Other: His favorite color is red and he is also a patron of the arts (a trait picked up from his late mother)

Can I reserve a spot?

 

[Heroic Sociopath]

Name: Lesath Thermopolis
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Species: Human

Appearance: Lesath is a tall, slender young man. He has black hair in a perpetually unkempt mop atop his head. His eyes are very dark, and he has an olive complexion. He's somewhat lanky, but has some muscle tone on his body. He has a star-shaped birthmark on the right side of his neck. Having grown up in the UK until he moved in with his aunt and uncle, he retains a bit of an accent.

Personality: Lesath is a bit quiet, but if someone catches his eye he's very friendly. He likes puzzles, brainteasers, and really any sort of mental exercise, and is very good at them. Competitive by nature, he'll never back down from a challenge. He rarely gives up. If beaten, he'll try to find out why and try to become stronger for it. As a human, he's likely more well-versed in pop culture than most monsters. He's a bit of a scholar, and enjoys learning new things. His parents were college science professors, so he's very logical, and often performs experiments to find things out. Also a bit of a womaniser.

History: Rich kid. Ever since he was young he's seen and heard things that others can't. His parents died when he was ten under mysterious circumstances. Went to live with aunt and uncle. Got an old laptop in the mail from someone claiming to be his great great great great great great grandmother. It had no ports for USB or headphones or even a power cord. He still kept it, and shortly after Alucard's broadcast, it turned on.

The laptop had several different files on it. Some of them were in dead languages Lesath could translate, like Egyptian hieroglyphics or Greek, but most of them were in languages that he couldn't place. The ones he could translate detailed instructions for things such as summoning demons, creating magical artifacts, and casting spells. Believing it could have something to do with his parent's deaths, Lesath decided to go to the school so he could get some answers.

Wish: To learn more about his laptop. This will likely change.

Talents: Lesath is fairly tech saavy. He's also good at puzzles and riddles. He did basketball in middle school.

Other: Has a really old laptop. Like, it's running Windows 95. May or may not be evil.

 

[Taengoo]

Name: Ari Skatlos
Age: 16 - Sophomore
Gender: Female
Species: Half-demon

Appearance: Ari's skin is notably pale, first of all. Due to being a demon, it has turned a slight shade of gray. Her eyes, if her skin hasn't given away her abnormal appearance, surely will. They're a light silver, but the sclera are a dark charcoal color. What's more, her pupils resemble back 'X's. Her hair is black, and styled over her left eye. Lastly, she appears to be wearing a hooded cloak a dark indigo color. She's wearing a hood, yes, but the cloak itself is actually her batlike wings. It is the only way for her to appear somewhat normal.

It is also to note that her eyes turn completely black when she is using her ability, and that when she is beyond angry, a pair of eyes also sprout where her eyebrows are. In this agitated state, her eyes turn crimson.

Personality: Ari, for the most part, is a huge tomboy. However, you may end up never learning this, because she tends to hide her emotions. She doesn't generally seem to care about anyone or anything, due to her inability to be open with her feelings. She absolutely hates corny jokes, and seems to take most situations seriously. When she does show her emotions, it results in her sounding incredibly sarcastic and otherwise blunt.

History: Due to a car accident, Ari has amnesia and therefore cannot remember much past her birthday and her name.

Abilities: Ari is able to use what others call a dark aura, perceived as a black energy. This energy can affect the physical world, and it allows Ari to move objects for a short period of trouble. She seems to have a bit of control over shadows. Ari is also able to hover a short distance over the ground. Lastly, her wings render her fairy capable of flight - but only due to extensive practice. She doesn't do it too often, because it can easily drain her stamina.

Her greatest weakness is her emotions. If she can't control her emotions, then her powers will become extremely erratic and unpredictable. It is the reason why she never reveals her feelings, and tries to suppress them. However, this can result badly for her, and is the cause of the car accident that gave her amnesia.

Wish: None.
Talents: Ari is fairly practiced in the martial arts. She is proficient in hand-to-hand combat, and is great with weapons (even if she doesn't need them).
Other: Don't expect her to get attached to anyone. Theme song is The Good Life by Three Days Grace.

 

[Detective Calvin]

Name: Tomoko Satomi
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Species: Human

Appearance: Tomoko has very pale skin due to very little time in the sun, stands at 5 feet with an average figure, has well-kept chin-length black hair and mist-blue eyes that are hidden behind near-opaque thick glasses, and wears an all-black outfit consisting of a double-breasted jacket over a short-sleeved shirt, a kneelength skirtm leggings and flats.

Personality: Tomoko is the epitome of unapproachable. She's incredibly intelligent, speaks primarily in the biggest words she knows, and does so in a grating, creepy monotone voice. She's incredibly condescending to those who don't understand her sesquipedalian language, but will try to befriend those who do. 'Try' meaning demand that the person to be friends with her, yet still be (unknowingly) condescending, but with a hint of friendliness. She's socially inept, but doesn't try to blend in, instead choosing to be arrogant about her talents. It comes with an advantage, however; her annoying personality makes it easy to drive off bullies and unwanted people.

History: (Optional, but don't be afraid to include a backstory of sorts)

Abilities: N/A

Wish: To have friends who like her and are like her,

Talents: Tomoko has an eidetic memory and is good with computers. She's attempting to learn every language.
Other: Tomoko has Aspergers Syndrome and Obsessive compulsive disorder.

 

[Selenium]

Name: Skolg Krauvando

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Species: Pit Viper

Appearance: Skolg has purple hair that is slicked backwards, and an ever present smile, belying his cunning nature. He has green eyes with slits in his pupils and fang-like teeth. Skolg's tongue is long and forked, and though he has the body shape of a human, he has scales instead of skin. His scales is almost as white as snow, and he is skinny and tall, standing at 187 cm.
The Vipers' ambasaddor always dresses formally, so he would look less scary and more human like. He wears a black swallowtail suit with a white shirt underneath. He dons a pair of black trousers held by a brown belt.

Personality: Skolg maintained a calm and polite demeanor around most people, while still having a sharp tongue. He claimed to hate fighting and preferred to avoid conflict, but this however, was simply a guise to his true nature. When people saw through it, he reveals his true colors as cunning, ambitious, and vengeful. Skolg is naturally inclined to seek revenge for the slightest insult, and usually will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. He is not afraid to win using underhanded means even if he had to kill his enemy in their sleep with a dagger soaked in poison.
But of course, he is not without compassion nor feelings. He genuinely cares for his family and the friends he befriended during his stay at Nocturne Academy, though he never show this side of him.

History: Even among the monsters, a Pit Viper is a freak. Equal parts snake and human, cunning and rage, the Pit Viper crawls in the Acid Jungles, where poison runs in the veins and bubbles in the guts of every creature that scuttles, climbs or swoops between fluorescent vines dripping with caustic sap. Yet even in this toxic menagerie, the Pit Viper is acknowledged as the most venomous. The venom from an adult Pit Viper could paralyze their victim in seconds and even kill if exposed to higher dose.
Young Pit Viper grow to maturity in subterannean cavern underneath their matriach domicile, and will leave their cave at the age of 14 to join their fathers to hunt. A young Viper, however, was instead sent to Nocturne Academy. His name? Skolg Krauvando. Why him? Of course, because he is the descendant of clan Krauvando, an old clan that had produced many great warriors for the Vipers living in the acid jungles. The boy was sent as a representative for the Pit Vipers of the Acid Jungles to forge peace with humankind.

Abilities: Skolg is capable of injecting venom. When he bites, the jaws close and the muscles surrounding the gland contract, causing venom to be ejected via the fangs. The venom of a Pit Viper consists primarily of neurotoxins. The toxins purposely target at the victim's central nervous system, resulting in severe pain, blurred vision, vertigo, drowsiness, and eventually paralysis. The effect of the poison is not instant and take a few minutes to fully take effect.

Talents: Pit Vipers are known for their light step at the battlefield and for their swiftness. Skolg is very acrobatic and flexible and has some knowledge in brewing herbal potions / antidote thanks to his matriarch.

Others: In case you did not notice, Skolg's history is inspired by Venomancer from Dota 2
