Name: Richard Atkins

Gender: Male

Age: 21

Species: Fire Elemental

Orientation: Heterosexual

Appearance: Measuring in at 5’6, Richard is somewhat short for his age. He has short black hair that contrasts with his bright red eyes. His usual clothing consists of a light blue t-shirt, black jeans, and white running shoes. On his upper arm near his shoulders, he has several fiery tattoos, for fairly obvious reasons.

Personality: As an Elemental, Richard has developed a bit of an ego. He rarely considers the risks of his actions, since he doesn’t truly consider them to be risks to himself. Driven by a thirst for recognition and a desire to face new challenges, some could easily see him as a loose cannon. These people wouldn’t be completely wrong, since Richard’s tendency to act without much thinking has gotten him in trouble more than a few times before. However, he’s not completely arrogant. He’s come to realize that isolating yourself from other people is far from pleasant, especially for someone who seeks recognition like him. So, if only out of necessity, he’s tried to behave with other people, lest they otherwise be driven away.

History: (To be revealed in the RP)

Powers: Richard can control and manipulate fire and many sources of heat. He can also create fire himself by superheating the air nearby, though this takes more of a toll on him. He can create fire darts, throw explosive fireballs, surround himself in a volcanic aura, and much more.

Abilities: He’s got a gift for irritating people. He might not be able to persuade someone to help, but he can anger, annoy, or otherwise irritate anyone into action.

Other: N/A
 
Name: Aria Branwen-Tathamet
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Orientation: Pansexual

Appearance: Aria has an angelic, child-like complexion with skin like porcelain and soft features. Her eyes are heterochromatic, with the left that of an almost molten gold and the right being an eye-catching turquoise. Her hair is that of a very light blonde, with the faintest hue of pink, and it cascades down past her back. Aria is of a short stature although her build is lithe and wiry. She wears a black dress that's fashioned in a gothic lolita style, with the hemline of the dress designed like that of a piano's keys. The dress itself is decorated with ribbons and bows of crimson color. She wears a choker that seems to have an oddly shaped infinity symbol as the centerpiece.

Personality: Aria is a fairly shy individual, tending to speak with a very soft and otherwise delicate voice. She tends to be a bit of a passive individual, and dislikes large crowds. However, she cherishes her time spent with friends, and tries to be polite to most people. She prefers to observe from afar and judge them for herself rather than for others. Oddly perceptive, also can be a bit on the sassy side when she wants to be.

History: You'll see.

Abilities/Talents: Despite her reluctance for violence, Aria is well-versed in various forms of martial arts and is adept at kyuudou. She carries around a bladed bow that doubles as twin scimitars. She's also very skilled with bladed weapons.

Wish: Unknown

Other: Theme is 『季節は次々死んでいく』 feat. amazarashi

If there are spots left, I'd like to reserve one! I'll try to get it written in the next day or so.
 
Name: Olivia Cykes
Age: 16 (birthday 29th July)
Gender: Female
Orientation: Whatevs

Appearance: Olivia doesn't really care about herself appearance-wise, this shows in the form of her clothes. Her typical attire consists of wearing a dark grey baggy hoodie (with a plain white shirt underneath), black tracksuit bottoms, silver and green trainers and a maroon beanie that covers up the majority of her hair, save for a couple short, messy strands of light brown hair that stick out at the back of her head and near her ears. She also wears a purple watch. Standing at 5 foot 4, Olivia's skin colour is fair tonned, though it is currently pale from the lack of sun her skin gets due to her clothes. Olivia has green eyes and is ectomorphic with a light built. Acne covers her forehead, across the bridge of her pointy nose and around her shoulders. She also carries a black rucksack with her.

Personality: Olivia is only a shadow of her former self. She is very clumsy and absentminded. Olivia is also very scatter-brained and a little defensive and has trouble of letting go of things. She can come off as quiet and shy and even a little socially awkward when you first meet her, but in truth Olivia is very friendly, though she does isolate herself at times. Olivia does not like confrontation and is sensitive to criticism from others. She often finds herself apologising frequently and finds it hard to say no to people as well as seeking their approval. Olivia is also very gullible and naïve and as a result she gets taken advantage of off other people. Despite this, Olivia can be a little sarcastic from time to time as well as being blunt. She also has very low self-esteem and confidence, as seen in her clothing choices and her characteristics. Nervous habits include Oliva subconsciously scratching her cheek or biting her lip. She bites her cheek when she’s lying.

History: Olivia lived a pretty normal life up until the Yokai announcement. Though Olivia found It surprising, she accepted it, and couldn't wait to join the newly made academy. However, Olivia discovered in the upcoming months that her strict parents were pretty hateful towards Yokais, even going so far as attending anti Yokai rallies and getting into fights. Scared of telling them, Olivia went to extreme measures to keep it a secret, though deep down she knew she had to tell them eventually. A week before leaving for the academy, her parents discovered the truth and were furious with her. An argument rang out in the Cykes household - insults and unforgivable words were exchanged, things were thrown, and before she knew it, Olivia found herself beaten and bruised by her parents and kicked out the house. In pain and upset, Olivia thought her parents would forgive her and decided to camp out there for a while. Eventually, night came and she fell asleep on the porch, only to be rudely awakened by her possessions being thrown at her from her bedroom window along with the announcement that she had been disowned. Taking the possessions into a small suitcase her parents had kindly thrown as her head, Olivia walked away from everything she had even known - her family, her home, her life as she had known it and most of all herself to the bus stop, all because of her decision to join Nocturne Academy and the announcement of Yokai.

Abilities/Talents: She can curl her tongue into a 'u' shape.

Wish: She doesn't have one yet.

Other: #TeamHumans - so far there's almost 3 times more Yokai than humans! xD Her clothes also come in alternative colours. Loves watching TV shows, movies, playing on her beloved 3ds and listening to music. A bit of a superhero nerd.
 
Reserve a spot for me, I'll see what I can come up with.
 
Naoto is a bit busy IRL at the moment. Sunsette, Gengarzilla, get cracking with your SUs regardless.
 
Name: Kozue Miyabe
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Orientation: Bisexual

Appearance: Kozue is rather thin and lanky, towering over quite a few of his classmates at 6'1". When fully clothed, he looks more filled out thanks to his heavier clothes; he has a goth style, usually dressing in a leather jacket and black jeans with combat boots, with lots of spiked and chain accessories. He has black hair that he wears in a long, spiky cut, and he is very pale. His eyes are brown, but he wears red-tinted contact lenses most of the time to correct his vision. He owns glasses, but wouldn't be caught dead wearing them in public. He has snakebite lip piercings and a tongue piercing. He doesn't usually wear makeup, but his nails are painted black.

Personality: Despite his intimidating appearance, Kozue is actually just really socially awkward. He's shy and not very assertive, and prefers it when people judge a book by its cover, so to speak, and don't bother to interact with him because they think he's a punk or a delinquent. He sometimes stutters when people do talk to him, and has a nervous tic of laughing when he's uncomfortable. He feels responsible for people who are younger than him and tries to look out for them.

History: Kozue is the youngest child of a large family, with three older siblings who usually took up most of his parents' attention. The Miaybes were a loving family, but they simply didn't have enough time to devote to all their children equally, so the quiet Kozue usually found himself pushed out of the spotlight. He was happy enough to spend time on his own reading or watching TV, or biking around the city. He especially liked to explore old or abandoned places on his own, and got skilled at sneaking into places, picking locks, and searching for interesting things. Kozue grew up very independent and introverted thanks to all of this, and was uncomfortable when pushed into more social situations. He didn't know how to talk to people and would either stutter or clam up completely, so he didn't make many friends throughout his school years.

One person he did become friends with was a boy in his class named Wataru. Wataru was much more outspoken and assertive in comparison to Kozue, and would stand up for him if their other classmates picked on him. Kozue followed Wataru around loyally for most of their school years, becoming part of the goth clique with him when they were in high school. He liked having the reputation of a cool goth kid rather than just an awkward, nerdy kid, and his parents didn't make a fuss about him dressing all in black or getting piercings as long as he didn't get in trouble. People would sometimes tell him he looked depressed or scary, but for the most part, Kozue was quite happy.

The big change between Kozue and Wataru happened just after their high school graduation. A few years before, Kozue had realized that he had feelings for his best friend, but he kept quiet about it because he didn't want to ruin their friendship, and Wataru had several girlfriends and never expressed interest in guys. He had broken up with his latest girlfriend just before graduation though, and since he would soon be going off to university, Kozue felt like he had to confess his feelings. Just as he'd worried, it turned out that Wataru didn't feel the same way and had never thought of Kozue as anything more than a friend. Wataru tried to be casual about it and promised that they were still best friends and would keep in touch, but their contact has gotten less and less frequent over the last few months, leaving Kozue to assume that he really had ruined their friendship.

When the announcement about Yokai and the new academy opening up came, Kozue thought it was the perfect opportunity to get a change of scenery and focus on something new so he wouldn't have to dwell on the loss of Wataru's friendship and his own lack of plans for university or work.

Abilities/Talents: Kozue has an intimidating appearance, which could discourage people from picking fights with him or otherwise trying to antagonize him. He is good at sneaking into places and searching for things, and knows how to pick locks. He likes to explore and investigate things.

Wish: Kozue wants nothing more than to repair his friendship with Wataru or, if that is impossible, to gain some new friends and maybe a boyfriend or girlfriend who will stand by him and give him confidence.

Other: His biggest hobby besides exploring places is cooking, and he loves spicy and sweet foods.
 
Bleh, finally got it up. Sorry for the wait...

Name: Ariata Nuvole
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Species: Sylphid (Female air elemental/fairy)
Orientation: Bisexual, but has a preference for males

Appearance: As would be expected of a Sylphid, Ariata has a very slender and wispy build with a pale complexion. One might be forgiven for assuming her to be a ghost or departed soul of some sort. She has long hair of a clear white colour with deep green eyes and usually wears a simple white dress that ends at where her knees would be if she had her legs visible, in such a case she will also have open flat shoes on her feet. All of her clothing is enchanted to become intangible when she does. Finally, she has a single small pair of clear gossamer fairy wings that gently curve upwards to a curl at the edges. They serve little purpose due to her being able to fly unaided.

Personality: Ariata has a flighty and somewhat spontaneous personality and mixes this with an observant and quiet side. Despite the latter trait however, she is rather eager to try and make a few friends during her time at Nocturne Academy. She simply wouldn't be the one to make the initiative without a bit of prodding or encouragement. Ariata has no sort of problems with humans and was generally minding her own business around them during the time of the announcement, being one of the many to reveal their true identities to neighbours afterwards. She is now totally willing to befriend a human in the academy should the opportunity present itself.
Possessing a link to the fae, she also has a slight mischievous streak but this wouldn't be willfully taken to the point of maliciousness.

History: May reveal in a bit of detail if some characters take an interest in this.

Powers: She has a great amount of control over the air that gives life to the world, being able to shape and manipulate it as needed to perform acts such as Aero-Telekinesis (lifting and moving objects by controlling the air around it) Air Solidification (solidifying air into a tangible form) and Sound Nullification (keeping air still). Intangibility and airborne shock waves are also within range of her capabilities but creating and removing air are both beyond her, limiting her to the use of already existing air and preventing her from creating a vacuum. Although able to insulate electricity with the air to a limited extent, Ariata doesn't deal with fire too well and would be completely helpless in a vacuum environment.

Abilities: While normally lacking legs, she is capable of freely forming these should she so desire. As is the case with her wings, this doesn't have any practical applications and is mostly mundane but it was used very frequently prior to the announcement.

Other: She's a highly avid bookworm.
 
Hey guys, super sorry I haven't been posting in the start-up thread. I didn't get mentioned in the OP for some reason and assumed it hadn't gone up yet. I'll be getting caught up and try to post in a day or two.
 
okay, sorry Sunsette!
