Gilded Halls
a sandbox roleplay ★ rated 'teen'​

IC THREAD​

about this roleplay:

Welcome to Gilded Halls. It has been almost a year since I ran the original roleplay, and I hope that I have learnt enough from then to make this a success :).

In order to allow you a bit of freedom, this roleplay will be a sandbox roleplay. Creativity will thrive in this roleplay, to ensure this each period in the day will be represented by a long period irl.

Your character has been written to, inviting them in to the school. To the public Gilded Halls is just an esteemed boarding school; you will soon see it is much more. It is a school that nurtures real talent, letting students excel in the hidden arts. Your character doesn't necessarily know they have a power yet - maybe they're oblivious, maybe they're in denial, or they could be fully aware of their potential. It's up to you how your character will deal with this invitation (forced, excited, ...bored?).​

story:

In July of every year, the prestigious 'Gilded Halls' send our their invitations. The unmistakable gold-rimmed envelopes encourage parents to send their unique children to a secluded area of the United Kingdom.

However, unknown to the public (and some of the parents), this is no ordinary school. Gilded Halls specialises in training and educating those with exceptional gifts, magical powers and extravagant abilities. Each year they would find numerous candidates from around Europe, scouted out by equally gifted teachers and accomplices.

On September 1st the pupils will gather - a range of teenagers will enter the school, uncertain of what lies ahead of them. Little do they know that there will be no textbooks here, no essays to complete for homework. This school year will be much, much harder to pass. For 'Gilded Halls' is but an interview phase, for a much bigger project.

Will your character thrive? Will they unlock their true potential? Will they pass the year?​

rules to abide by:

→ Of course, PC rules and roleplay corner rules apply.

→ All IC posts must be at least 100 words in length.​

→ Do not use abbreviations e.g. "omg".​

→ Do not double post.​

→ At present, I am GM. I may take on a sub-leader to assist.
→ In order to post in the IC thread your sign up must be approved by the GM.
→ Respect other players and communicate with each other.
→ This roleplay is rated 'Teen'. Please keep your posts void of sexual content. You can, to some degree, mask it in teenage romance but keep any detail out of your posts.
→ Get along, have fun!​

powers and aptitudes:

It is very important that your character's skills are in keeping with this roleplay, and do not pose a problem in terms of god-modding or bunnying. For example, teleportation is a great ability and power - being able to teleport other people /against their will/ however, is a problem.

You may pick any ability you would like, and as long as you can balance it. I will stop abilities being duplicated/copied too much, so make sure that yours is unique! I won't be accepting two characters with identical powers.

Since the characters are all teenagers, their powers should be underdeveloped and rather limited. Age does have a bearing on this, an eighteen year old should be more developed than an eleven year old. Abilities are definitely allowed to grow and change during your time here, but there should be clear limitations to what your character can do at present.

Examples of good limitation ideas:

• Inaccurate.
• Can manipulate <whatever> but not create it.
• Power only affects a limited range.
• Only usable for a short period of time.

Examples of bad boring cliché limitation ideas:

• Will die/be hurt if power is overused.
• Can only be used when angry.
• Can only be used once a day (very limiting in this kind of roleplay).

the school day:

The school runs a peculiar timetable, that allows pupils to pick and choose which lesson they attend. The majority of lessons are pupil-led, without a teacher in sight and clear instructions left in the classroom. That means that pupils are free to come and go as they please, completing the task anywhere in the extended gap.

The length of real-life time for each period will be decided in the OOC as a group - to try and keep everyone happy! Most of the time we will be looking at around two-three weeks.

Spoiler:

Day 1:
● Period 1: REGISTRATION
● Lunch
● Period 2: ELEMENTS 101
● Period 3: GROUP-WORK

further information:

The IC thread will be your main source of information about the school, including where you can go, the general layout and what the school has to offer. I will be making a full list of facilities, with as much detail as possible, to make sure everyone is consistent and has something to refer back to.

Lesson information will be posted as an event update whenever we progress a period. These updates will also offer new options for things to do (or ban you from doing others).​

Full name: Kevin Blake
Gender: Male
Age: 15

Appearance:
Kevin stands at five-foot-five inches and weighs 140 pounds. Kevin has short almost bordering on what some people would call medium length red hair which is usually styled with some form of hair gel. He ruffles his hair all over to achieve the messy let almost styled look. Other features of Kevin include a slightly more than average built body, he may not be incredibly muscular but he isn't terribly skinny either. He's shape is just ever so slightly larger than the average 15 year old. He also has a notably strong Irish accent.

Picture:

Spoiler:

Kevin's usual attire consists of a pair of jeans, a black t-shirt with yellow detailing along the sleeves and neck and finally a pair of white sneakers with red details. He can be seen carrying around a small backpack when its class time along with a black jacket whenever the colder weather sets in. When hanging around his dorm room when there's no class or during late evening his attire switches to a pair of black tracksuit bottoms along with a plain white t-shirt.

History:

Spoiler:

Kevin was born into a standard Irish suburban household on the outskirts of the city. His mother and father raised him to be a respectful and polite young man and always did their best in order to keep him out of trouble. Because of all this Kevin was living a very sheltered when he was younger and rarely got to mix with anyone his own age. The only time Kevin was ever able to see anyone was at school, and even then he didn't mix with many people. The kids in his class would talk about being down in the park playing some ball or hanging out in each other's houses playing video games after school. Kevin could only dream about being as free as the other kids in his class as his parents would never let him enter a stranger's house or head off somewhere unaccompanied. He was bound to his house and at this rate it looked like he was never going to be able to leave it. Pushing this stuff to the side, Kevin noticed something different about himself as opposed to the other kids. By the time he was nine, Kevin could feel something within himself, every so often he could feel something small tickle within his arms or his hands or legs. It wasn't constant, it only lasted for a about a second and it only happened on occasions but it was still something Kevin took notice off … but alas he didn't pay much attention to it.

Fast forward a few years and Kevin was now 12 years old and his father was given an opportunity to work for a different sector within the company he worked for, with an increased wage of course. The only catch was that the new sector was miles and miles away. After a difficult decision the family decided that Kevin's father should take the job in order to provide even more for his family with his now increased wage. His father would obviously move first, obtaining the necessary funds to obtain a new house, car and other basic necessities in order for Kevin and his mother to move there. So Kevin's father took off to his new job, leaving Kevin and his mother behind for now. Kevin continued to notice strange things about himself. His powers had now elevated to the point where Kevin could now see it. Picking up electrical items such as TV remotes, phones, music players and other electrical equipment could on occasion cause some sparks to fly both out of Kevin's hand and the device he was holding. More often than not … the device is then useless unless it's repaired.

Two years had passed and Kevin's father had finally procured a home for his family. However Kevin wouldn't be going with them. He had important exams in his high school this year and to pull him out in an important year like this especially when he was doing pretty well could have some negative repercussions on his grades. Instead, Kevin was left with his grandmother until he finished this year of school, then he would head to the new home far away from his current one. Living with his grandmother was everything Kevin wanted when he was younger. The freedom to do what he wanted … within reason of course. This year of school was becoming his best one yet, he finally made friends. They would all hang out late into the evenings, playing ball, visiting each other's houses, mostly anything that he wasn't able to do while under his parent's roof. His sheltered life was finally over … for now at least. The most important thing here was that Kevin finally came out of his shell. No longer was he afraid to talk to people or interacted with large groups. Kevin was now two years older and his powers seemed to have developed even further. Kevin could now, if he focused enough, cause a small flash of sparks to appear in his hand. It wasn't much but it was progress none the less. He continued to work at his power in secrecy. He tried every day to see if he could do more than what he did the previous day but it seemed futile. His powers didn't seem to be getting any stronger by the day, no matter how hard he tried. One thing he did notice however was his extreme tiredness and lack of energy after practicing with his new found ability. After practicing for an extended period of time, Kevin would often slump down in his bed, sleeping for hours in order to recharge.

What was Kevin going to do with this new ability? Even he didn't know that! He just continued to practice every day to see if he noticed any change. One day however he forgot about it and he reached down to turn on the TV set for his grandmother. With a loud bang, the screen on the set shattered into a million pieces just narrowly avoiding his grandmother and himself. His grandmother soon after the incident quizzed Kevin on what happened. Kevin explained to his grandmother that ever since he was young he could feel this energy building inside him and that just recently he's been able to activate it on command. His grandmother was sceptical at first but she couldn't stay that way once Kevin showed her some sparks shoot from his hands into the air. Both agreed that Kevin's parents should never find out about this incident.

A few months had passed and Kevin had just recently reached his 15 birthday. A party was thrown for him, one which included his mother and father who made the trip to come and see their son. However Kevin's grandmother couldn't keep the TV incident a secret any longer and ended up telling both Kevin's parents in private, Kevin was completely unaware of all this. His parents made a few calls and attended some meetings with certain people in the following days and after about a week Kevin received a letter in the post from Gilded Halls. Kevin could only assume that his parents were sending him to this boarding school, his grandmother never did interfere with his school work anyways. Although he did believe that his powers most definitely made his grandmother uneasy. Whilst he was unhappy about going, he never was one for disobeying his parents. So he packed his bags and said goodbye to his life of freedom and the friends that he had just made. He was about to become imprisoned inside a boarding school where he would do nothing but learn all day every day. It was just like being younger again. Kevin however was in for a surprise when he would learn the real Gilded Halls and what was really going on inside the school grounds.

Ability name: Electrokinesis

Spoiler:

Explanation: Kevin has the ability to manipulate energies, electrical currents, and generate electricity with the mind. With the correct training and mastery of his power, his powers can range from shooting a bolt of lightning from his hand to powering up a generator. This power can even be used to take control of the electrons in objects, allowing motion control. Because of this ability Kevin doesn't get an electric shock like most people, instead he simply absorbs the shock and stores it away as energy. However at the present moment Kevin can barely create a small enough current to power a object as small as a phone battery and as for a bolt of lightning, a small flash of sparks at best and finally he usually ends up short circuiting any electrical item he touches.

Limitations:
1. At present Kevin cannot create a powerful enough current to power even the smallest of items.
2. Also at present he cannot create a powerful enough current to shoot a bolt of lightning from his hands
3. Attempting to power an item for an extending period of time such as a few minutes, will leave --Kevin drained and sluggish.
4. Cables that lie above ground exposed have the tendency to shoot a bolt of electricity towards Kevin, knocking him to the ground.
5. Kevin cannot enter the water, be it a lake, pool, sea anything like that. All of the electrical current in Kevin's body will react badly to the water. Entering water like this is fatal and could end with tragic consequences.

Full name: Makoto Hatakae
Age: 17

Appearance: Makoto stands at about 5'6" and weighs roughly 115 pounds, both which are average for someone his age. He is in no way buff, but can run great distances if he needs to. His skin is peach in color and doesn't burn easily in the sun. Makoto's face almost always has an apathetic expression on it, his green eyes droopy-like and his mouth curled up into a small frown or line. As for hair, Makoto keeps his blue hair somewhat long, as it ends around his chest. He keeps a good portion of it in a ponytail, with left and right bangs and strands of hair on each side sticking out. Makoto has no physical oddities whatsoever (though he is left-handed, if one wants to consider such odd).

As for attire, Makoto wears kimonos. As he lives and works at the shrine run by his family, this sort of outfit is not unusual. His favorite kimono is a long pink one with a blue ribbon around the area between his chest and stomach. To top off the "shrine" look, Makoto wears regular, brown geta sandals. And, despite their appearance, he can walk around in them just fine, but will take them off if he needs to run (disregarding the fact that he's now barefoot). And rather than carry around the typical shrine staff, Makoto wields a blue, indigo, gray, and white fan with blue floral and purple wave patterns on it. Finally, Makoto wears a dull golden necklace with a six-pointed star shape carved into the pendant and a sapphire in the middle of said star.

History: Makoto used to be a shrine guardian in charge of the "Coltheart's Shrine" near the outskirts of Japan, named for some ancestor Makoto couldn't care less about. His parents wanted a girl, but had him instead. But they didn't mind, so long as Makoto performed his duties. Makoto grew up learning how to clear his mind of everything and how to repel evil spirits and...well, anything a typical shrine maiden has to learn. He was allowed no TV, no phone, no video games...nothing electronic or "of the outside world" whatsoever. Despite this, his parents didn't seem to mind sending him to a regular public school since he did need an education, even if some of it were "biased", as his parents thought. Over time, Makoto began to procrastinate on his daily duties and homework and instead began sleeping. He used his sleeping as an excuse as to why he didn't work, and while his parents chided him early on, they eventually gave up and let him do whatever. Makoto was content with the life he had and didn't have any plans to change it whatsoever.

One day however, things started to change. Makoto started to help his dad with his Blacksmith job as well. Makoto helped gathered materials to create the first sword of his dad's business, all to be created by himself. However, when Makoto was finished after a few attempts, there arose a blue-ish light. Makoto couldn't see the workspace he was stationed in, until he realized that he felt the nearby tools and weapons rattling all over the place. When it was over, there was nothing except his desk - his tools, and the sword he created was all gone. Makoto couldn't imagine what happened, until he looked upon his left hand palm. There was a dark circle. Was that all created by.. him?

Soon he discovered more depths to his powers; he can pull different objects in and between the distortions of space, or in other words, the void. He liked to sometimes tease his family members by hiding objects, and bringing them up again. It was strange but.. he liked it!

But one day, while watching over the shrine, Makoto fell asleep. During the time he was asleep a burglar broke in and stole what little donations people had given to the shrine. This angered Makoto's parents very much. They weren't concerned that they had lost all the cash the shrine had received, but that their son was so incompetent when it came to protecting the shrine for just a little while. As a result, they wanted to send Makoto to boarding school. Boarding school. The name had "negative" written all over it. Those types of schools always seemed to be very fickle about grades, about dorms, etc. This wasn't the life for Makoto . But there was no other option for him, as his parents' decision was final. They wanted him to learn discipline. Thus, Makoto's parents showed him an invitation that was sent in the mail - a school called Glided Hills, that was rumored to be one of the toughest boarding schools ever. Makoto hadn't heard of tis school before, but.. he had his misgivings. However, he had no choice. It was time for him to be sent there. What happens next? Only fate can decide.


Ability name: Switchblade

Explanation: Makoto's powers utilizes the boundaries between space and a cosmic void. More specifically, his weaponry. He has the power of bringing about objects and other things from and between the world, and the abyss, which is where he gradually decided to keep his weaponry. So therefore, he uses his powers to bring out objects from the void. He decided that his favourite things to bring from the void was one of few weapons that he and his dad forged: either his swords, lances, or axes. His weapons are stainless steel, and can't be broken easily in combat.

Limitations:

- Unfortunately, Makoto can only bring one weapon (either his swords, lances, or axes) at a time, and after that, he can't use his powers until he returns his current weapon back into the void. Fortunately, there's no limit he can do this.

- Basically, after he draws a weapon, he has to rely on his own physical strength, and his own experience using his weaponry. His physical isn't the best mind you, and his weapon skills are pretty average at best, but, he'll learn!

- Opening the void, he can only transport and bring out objects, and not people. In addition, he can only bring objects that he personally put in the void, like his own weapons, ahead of time.


Room Number: 1

[Cordelia]

---

Full name: Ginevra May Morrigan
Age: 16
Appearance (Reference #1, #2, #3): At above average height for a girl her age, Ginny stands tall at 5'10", generally towering over girls and boys alike. She has straight, shoulder-length red hair that somehow always finds its way in her face, causing her to absent-mindedly remove it at random intervals. Her eyes are a striking light blue which shine when she smiles.

Developing early, she learned how to brush off boys' attentions and not let them get to her. She usually wears a pair of form-fitting jeans, flip-flops, and a styled t-shirt or tanktop. Her hair can be found in almost any style, be it up in a bun, in a tail, or just down.
History: Ginny was raised in a middle-class family as the oldest of three girls living in suburbia. She always found herself looking out for her sisters, but also enjoying their company as the three were born in consecutive years. The early years were spent with a well-balanced amount of play and study, allowing the girls to harness the energies of their bodies and their minds.

On the morning of her twelfth birthday, Ginevra awoke underneath her bed and screamed, not having a clue how she got there. She was never one to sleep walk or anything of the like, but her parents assumed that she had simply done it in her sleep. After this happening every day for two weeks, she tried her best to figure out what was going on. After some investigation, she found that she could pass her hand through her bed and to the other side, and if she really concentrated, she could phase her entire body through the mattresses.

Part of her wanted to share it with her parents and sisters, but she decided it was best to keep this ability to herself. She spent time alone honing her skill over the years, but found it difficult to find time to practice and be with her family. In the summer after her tenth year of schooling, she received a letter from a prestigious boarding school Gilded Hall, which after much thinking and discussing with her parents, she accepted. She thought that at least there, she could find some time to herself to hone her skills.

Ability name: Phase Shifting

Spoiler:

Explanation: The ability allows her to shift and pass through physical matter such as walls, doors, people, or anything. It takes immense concentration to shift herself out of phase, but she has been able to pass through solid metal at a full run numerous times in the past.
Limitations:
- Sometimes, she can lose her concentration and become stuck somewhere until she can calm down and regain her mind.
- Shifting too much and too often can tire her out and cause headaches.

Room Number: 5​

 

[Synerjee]

This looks really fun! Reserve a spot for me please, if I'm not too late!

If it's okay, I'll be posting up my ability and room number for safekeepings first. The others will be coming up after I'm done with my finals.

Ability name: Mind Control

Spoiler:

Explanation:
(Yet to be named) is able to speak directly into the minds of people through thought. It's similar to normal conversation, except that the targeted person hears (ytbn's) voice inside his/her mind instead of through the ears. This ability allows (ytbn) to receive thoughts other people broadcast back to her as well, creating a private conversation between (ytbn) and the targeted person. At advanced stages, (ytbn) will be able to influence the targeted person's actions by 'suggesting' a thought to him/her, therefore forcing the targeted person to perform whatever (ytbn) wishes for a short period of time.

Limitations:
- She needs to recharge her ability by getting at least 6-7 hours of sleep per night. Without enough sleep, her ability gets severely weakened.
- By using this ability frequently, it drains her energy and with it her power to connect with people's minds.
- While 'suggesting' a thought to a person, she must vary her focus depending on the strength of the target's mind or risk either failing or forcing the person to do a completely different action instead.

Room Number: 5

 

[Monster Guy]

Are they any spots left? I'd like to reserve. xD Just need to decide on a character and a power. xD

 

[Meganium]

Okay, had to find my SU thanks to search function! <3

Spoiler:

Full Name: Selena Bravo
Age: 16

Appearance: Spunky, tough, and ready for anything that comes to her. Selena likes modern day clothing, from cut-up t-shirts, to jeans with bleached stains or ripped holes. Any t-shirt with a red heart as the design is always her favorite. In fact, her short, tight black t-shirt with an angelic heart picture is her favorite, along with her dark blue skinny jeans. This is usually what she wears on a daily basis. Black military-style boots are also her preferred shoes, and she wouldn't leave the house without them.

Her natural hair color is dark brown, but currently she has it dyed lighter because it "reflects the sun". She has a green streak in front, which is visible to the side. The length of her hair is a bit past the shoulders, and prefers to leave it loose rather than style it in a different manner. The length of her bangs cover most of her face, but leaves one eye out to see the world.

Physically, she is tall…about 5'7 at least. Weighing at around 125 pounds and has a pale white skin tone. She is athletic, keeping her body in shape by exercising. She is nicknamed "Plant" because of her emerald green eyes and soon, her unusual ability.

History: Selena was born in Madrid, Spain, and was immigrated to Mexicali, Baja California Mexico when she was just 10 years old. She is an only child and her parents were just 18 and attending University when she was born. Today, her parents are both doctors in Spain, and as they decided to give Selena a better life, they decided to send her off to live with her grandparents, who are also medical workers. Her grandparents couldn't afford to put Selena in a private school to get a better education, in hopes of her becoming a nurse or a doctor. She stayed in public school for most of her childhood. She was gratefully exposed to music, and plants, and had her sight set on becoming a Botanist when she grows up.

When she was 13 years old and starting her third year of high school (equivalent to Junior High/Middle School in the US), she began to notice something odd to her body. She thought that she might be going through a puberty stage at first, but she noticed that she was getting so many headaches when she was inside the classroom for a long period of time. She also realized that she wasn't drinking as much water. Selena went to the clinic to see what was going on, and the doctor diagnosed her with dehydration. She was now required to go outside for a certain period and to drink two liters of water a day. But the condition never went away, and felt that it was something more severe.

One lunch day, she encountered a female bully who wanted to fight her. The bully kept calling her names, telling her that she was ugly and didn't deserve to live in the world. Until her temper rose to her limit, she decided to fight her. One punch of poison from her arms was delivered from her hot-tempered body. She also noticed that her wrists had vines coming out, stretchable enough to strangle the girl. The whole student body were frightened at Selena, and after that fateful day she decided to not show up to school again. Her grandparents agreed, and decided to homeschool her.

She wasn't aware of what has happened to her. In every plant she got near, depending on her mood, she would either revive it or kill it. She can grow trees in less than 10 seconds, plants and flower beds in less than a minute. She even has the ability to revive dead plants. But, in connection to her dehydration problems, she realized that she was a "human plant" unaware of where or whom she retrieved it from.

Now at 16, and finally has the capability of a college/high school student, her grandparents gave her a brochure of Glided Halls, a boarding school in England. They commented that her parents live several miles from the school and they felt that it was time to send her back to Europe. As much as she didn't want to go to school in Mexicali ever again, she accepts the offer. What Selena was unaware, that her grandparents are sending her to a school for teenagers at or around the same age as her with unusual abilities and gifts. They knew that she had the capability to control landscaping, but they didn't want to make it seem obnoxious.


Ability name: Plant Manipulation
Explanation: Selena has the ability to control anything that grows in the ground. Plants, flowers, trees, fruits and vegetables, etc. If it has roots, she will make it grow. She also has the ability to sprout a vine from both of her wrists, whether she needs to reach something far, or just because. But, her friendly vines can turn poisonous if she's in a bad mood, and those vines can sometimes be lethal if the person infected isn't treated promptly. Selena tries her best to control her mood as much as possible, as since the day she was bullied in high school, she couldn't control her anger at all.
Limitations: 
~must acquire at least 7-8 hours of sunlight
~must drink up to 4 liters of water a day
~If in a bad mood, her plants will turn poisonous and will attack anyone at random. These bursts of anger cannot be uncontrolled until Selena makes contact with a human being.
~vines can only stretch from her wrists to her feet if dehydrated.

Room Number: 5 (sharing with Ginny/Mac)​

 

[Mana1]

[Ozymandias]

Eh this is from last year and it's the exact same but i'll edit it when i can :3

Spoiler:

Dominic "Dom" Irving

Appearance

Dominic towers over other kids his height at six-foot-nine. Dom is the tallest of kids his age and it works out just perfectly for him as an athlete. He is built of solid muscle and is what others would describe as "ripped". Another distinguished feature about Dom is his large weight compared to how lean he is. He has so much muscle mass that he weighs in at two-hundred and forty pounds.

Dom's skin is a lightly tanned tone that matches well with his light brown hair. His hair falls down to about his neck and can be described as a shaggy style. His eyes are a dark green color and many girls have said they find them to be very attractive. Most people wouldn't describe Dom as a ladie's man but, many girls have been drawn to him because of physical attraction.

During the summer season Dominic can be seen wearing a bro-tank paired with some light tan khaki shorts. When the season's start to turn to a colder weather, Dom rocks a pair of khaki pants and a crimson sweater with a dress shirt underneath. As for his attire during sports, he likes to pull back his hair in a ponytail when he is involved in athletics. Dom doesn't mind his robotic legs and doesn't hesitate to show them off. He prefers to keep them uncovered but during the winter when it is below freezing, his legs can start to disfunction.

History

Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Dom grew up in the slums of the city with his mother, father, and two brothers. The family was often thrown from their homes because of their lack of money and inability to pay the bills that they owed. They would shelter in the streets and often be starving from lack of food. From a young age, Dominic was an exceptionally talented athlete and he learned many sports and loved them all. He soon became a star athlete on the playground but, was never able to play organized sports because of his family's lack of money. The government soon became aware of the family's situation and since they were unable to support the three boys they went up for adoption.

At age six Dominic was officially adopted into the home of the Ninneman's in Riverdale, Georgia. Emotionally scarred from being pulled away from his family, Dom grew to be a withdrawn and anti-social individual. Riverdale was better than being homeless but, not by much. He was enrolled in a public school where he was bullied for his accent and for his white skin. In that city, the blacks were plenty but, Dom was the only caucasian in the area. His new parents supported him though and tried to get him to come out of his shell. To do this they enrolled him in a football camp just to make some friends. There even without knowing the game, Dom excelled in all aspects of the game.

Dominic finally found something that he loved and that wouldn't leave him. Something that he could use to run away from his troubles, something that he wouldn't lose. As Dominic kept growing, his athletic prowess also grew. He started basketball, baseball, track, and soccer. Now he could finally use his skills to assist a real team and he led all his teams to a state championship at the age of 9. By that time the kids at school loved him. They now longer mocked Dom or called him names. Instead they praised him for his athletic abilities and said that the very things they mocked were what was unique and nice about him.

Now Dom had all that he had ever asked for, a loving family, friends that cared for him, and the one thing that he loved the most... sports. At age fourteen Dominic was completely dominating the sports scene. He was only a freshman, yet he made varsity squads on all the sports he played. Dom was already being heavily recruited by college teams all around the nation. He was invited for interviews on the news and even to late night shows. Dom was the talk of the nation, a boy raised in the slums of Scotland who came to the ghettos of Georgia was now one of the greatest athletes in the nation. Everyone knew him in Basketball because of his sick handles. Everyone knew him in Baseball for his ability to stroke the ball. Everyone knew him in track as the fastest guy around. Everyone knew him in Football as the man with the golden arm and crazy jukes. Dom was living the good life, and he knew it. But he always remembered his roots and stayed humble.

Even though Dom was getting so much attention from the media he couldn't escape the horrors of the city he lived in. Dom's parents were extremely strict about his habits out of the house and they made him stay inside the house after dark no matter the situation. That is, except one exception. It was the football game to determine who would be going to the state championship and was now inl Triple Overtime. Both of Dom's parents would have given up almost anything to stay but, they both had night shift jobs that they had to attend. The game lasted until one in the morning with, Dominic's team coming on top. Dom celebrated with his team and with his house being close by the team's football field he turned down all the ride offers that he had recieved and decided to walk the mile home.

Was it fate that day? Was it just coincidence? Maybe it was karma... but what for? The thoughts all raced through the head of the fourteen year old boy as he lay on the sidewalk, soaked in his own blood. The two legs that had just ran into the endzone for the game winning touchdown were now across the street from where Dominic was. The arm that had been used for throwing those deadly curveballs hung by a thread of muscle. When Dom had been walking home there were gunshots. It was just another gang war down the street, Dom had thought and kept on his trek home. Then skidding around a corner came an escalade packed full of men yelling and screaming. Dom just put his head down and pretended not to notice. But seconds after, another car also filled with people came down the same corner. They started firing away at the first car and the first car started firing back. Dom just ducked as soon as he heard the gunshots. He lay on the ground, hands on his head waiting for the two cars to pass by. As soon as they did Dom got up and used that famous speed of his to get home as quick as possible. He neared the Ninneman household but, just as soon as he crossed the street to enter his home a car came speeding down the road. It was the same car that had been involved in the gang fight earlier and there was another car coming in hot behind it. Don ran as fast as he could but a bullet caught his leg. He fell in the middle of the street. Another bullet him, now in the arm. A shotgun blast hit him straight in the legs. The cars kept coming. One bump. Two bumps. Three. Four.

The ambulance came soon after Dom passed out from the amount of blood loss. Amazingly he was kept alive, but barely. His life hung on a thread. A crowd had already surrounded the nurse blocking off Dom's hospital room. The media was sticking microphones in the woman's face while Dom's parents sat in shock while friends gathered around the old couple and sent prayers of hope for Dom. After a spending three weeks in a coma, Dominic awoke, missing two legs and one arm. He who was the star athlete of the entire nation... without legs and an arm. More importantly... all he had was his sports. It was his one love that he could rely on for support no matter what. Now, it was gone. The thought was too much. The big strong leader on the field that everyone looked up to was now bawling his eyes out saying how it wasn't fair and how his life was a joke. Dom spent the rest of the month, laying in his hospital bed, looking out the window and watching the cruel world go by.

As Dom's condition finally stabilized, the time came when he was to receive prosthetics. Companies from around the nation had sent all types of new limbs but, none of them seemed right to Dom. Some just felt awkward and out of place while others limited his movement or hurt him. After what seemed like the whole world watched their son struggle, the Ninneman's were contacted by the government. Apparently Dom's story had reached the ears of the head of a Military Technology company. The CEO took pity on the boy and had developed a prototype of robotic prosthetics for Dom. These new limbs would be connected to the nerves that were left so that Dom would be able to move fluently. Dom and his parents agreed to go through with the procedure and the operation began soon after. The prototypes turned out to be a huge success. Dom was able to move around fine in both his arm and leg areas but, he would have to endure a couple more months of a grueling process to relearn how to walk. After his physical therapy was completed Dom was able to finally leave the prison that was the hospital.

For another few months Dom wasn't allowed to freely walk and was subjected to dozens of experiments. He was studied by renowned scientists from around the world and these limbs were considered a breakthrough in the world of science. There was only one problem with Dominic's new legs, whenever he would run his they would go rampant and he would be accelerated to almost two-hundred miles an hour. However, this was seen as only a minor blemish on a huge accomplishment but, to Dom this was a major disappointment. There was almost no way that he would be able to control this while he was out on the court or field. Dom vowed that he would somehow find a way to control his new power so that he would be able to step back out on the field. To assist him in his goal, Dom's parents sent to a boarding school named, Gilded Halls. Apparently it was a school for the gifted and it was a place to assist them. A perfect place for Dom.

Ability name: Super Speed

Spoiler:

Explanation: Flash Mach 1: The robotic prosthetics that Dominic received from a MiliTech company enable him to run at extreme speeds up to two-hundred miles an hour. This happens whenever Dom breaks out into a run. His legs can't be stopped in distances shorter than fifty feet and his legs need to be checked up on ever so often.

Limitations:
Dominic can't control his legs as of yet and once he breaks out into a run it takes almost all his strength to stop it.
The Mach 1 needs to be oiled up and is prone to random shutdowns.
Due to it going at such high speed Dom can badly injure himself and others if he hits something while running.

Full name

Andrew "Andy" Steele

Age

17

Appearance

Starting puberty early has had a lot of perks for Andrew. Standing at 6'2" and weighing 170 pounds, he is nowhere near the average for his age. Being a sucker for a good physical fight and an arrogant person, he eventually got into bodybuilding to achieve what he likes to call "the perfect body". He is also really self-conscious so he makes a lot of efforts to always look clean and good. Andy has black hair to which he added streaks of blue and that he keep styled through some gel. (Think of Zayn Malik's haircut). His skin is not too pale nor too dark. His eyes are cat brown and he's always rocking a smirk.

As far as clothing goes, Andrew is simple. He doesn't like flashy or brilliant colors. Only dark ones such as grey, black or dark blue. Occasionally you might also see him wearing white. But he'll never put on green or a yellow clothes as he thinks they're too flashy. He also likes tight shirts, just to show his muscles and skinny jeans but not to the point that his organs would feel like exploding. Sneakers, preferably black with stripes of red, are what he always go for. As for accessories, he likes wearing a silver watch.

History

Andy was originally born in the USA but he moved, at the age of 2 and with his mother, to England, more precisely London to escape his father whom was a alcoholic and whom only pleasures in life were gambling and beating his wife. He didn't give a damn about his son and never tried to get news of them after they ran away. Once they were settled in London, his mother immediately got 2 jobs so she could offer her son the best possible education. This, however, had its consequences. Andy would rarely see his mother. Most of the time, he'd be guarded by a babysitter who was barely 16 during the afternoon and housed at the neighbor's house if his mother had a night shift. Growing up like this, he quickly became envious of every other child that had his parents looking after him. This envy quickly faded into anger when he enter a private school. He found out that all the kids were just whiny little brats that would keep crying until they got everything they wanted. He already knew he wouldn't be able to blend in between these kids so he just kept to himself, always staying alone in a corner. One time, a group of bullies decided to take him for target. They kept annoying him but he'd never attack back. He had learned to bottle up all of his emotions. When he just started high school and after constantly bugging his mother to buy him some training materials, he started bodybuilding and self-teaching some karate by watching countless movies on the genre. Due to having good growth hormones and starting puberty earlier, he had no real troubles achieving to reach a decent size of muscle. Enough to brag out and to intimidate people. That goal reached, his first action was to take revenge upon his middle school bullies. He fought them all, beating them one after another. After this, he started to notice some strange happenings. Things could start floating around him all of the sudden and he could swear he got off the ground by some centimeters once! Thinking this must be his imagination, he paid no attention to these oddities and continued his fighting-filled high school life. That was until a random night when he started floating again. But not by some mere centimeters this time, he was clearly off the ground. That was the night he discovered his power. Apparently he could make things levitate. But there were certain limits seeing as he would often struggle to stay a few seconds in the air. He would practice in secret from everyone, he wouldn't show his power until he was sure that he completely mastered it. Meanwhile, he still continued his usual life. And as a lot would expect, he got permanently expelled after yet another fight. During the days that followed, he got yelled at by his mother every time he'd see her. He wasn't too bothered by being expelled seeing as he despised the school so he spent his "special vacations" working out and practicing his ability. A certain Saturday night however, his mother entered the house ecstatic. She was radiating joy. He soon found out the cause of all that happiness. There was a very prestigious school called Gilded Halls that had sent out an invite to him. He was honestly taken aback and grumpy to see himself back to school so soon. But he didn't make any negative comments to avoid his mother going all furious on him again. Now he was only wondering what awaited him in this school.

Ability name: Levitation

Explanation: Basically, this allows him to lift certain objects off the ground and to freely move them around in the air. He can also levitate himself off the ground but he can't reach very far. While floating he can also walk and dash in the air.
Limitations: • It is difficult for him to stabilize in the air.
• Can't change directions while dashing.
• Can't levitate himself higher than 10 meters.
• Objects to levitate must be no further than 20 meters from him.
• Can barely lift other humans at the moment.

[Stinging Bea]

Full Name: Rachel Halland

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Appearance: Rachel stands at about 5'6" with a somewhat slender body build. She sports a rather soft, somewhat paler skin complexion, one that is sat off by her enticing, emerald-green eyes and fiery-orange hair. The girl's long and straight hair easily reaches down to the middle of her back, although she more often than not chooses to wear off to the side in a ponytail of sorts. Rachel carries herself with a calm and somewhat shy demeanor. She is one who despite her bright hair and eye color, seems to easily fade into the background among others her own age.

In terms of clothing, Rachel dresses in a much more conservative style. She dresses in soft colors, often choosing to wear various shades of brown, gray and white. One thing that should be of note is that more often than not Rachel chooses to wear long sleeves. This usually stretches from a wide array to sweaters, jackets, and sweatshirts. She usually offsets these with various denim or plaid skirts, which she then adds a pair of black leggings underneath. Rachel absolutely loves boots, and she is rarely seen wearing any other sort of footwear.

History: Rachel was born and raised in Concord, New Hampshire in the United State of America. Always a rather shy and backwards sort of girl, she did not have an easy time ever really making friends as a very young child. More often than not, she would spend her time in her own yard, playing with various toys and dolls and constantly sit alone during lunch and breaks while in school. She was an only child to her parents, and at times they did seem to worry about Rachel's shyness affecting her emotional growth... But the girl seemed to be happy despite this fact.

Rachel's life would take a major change during her second grade year of elementary school. One day while playing in the backyard with some of her toy horses, Rachel happened to notice that she was being watched by another girl her age through a hole in the fence. The girl seemed a bit nervous about how to handle the situation. Part of her wanted to quickly gather up her toys and go hide somewhere... but for some reason, Rachel found herself not feeling quite as shy around the new face. Somehow managing to work up some nerve, Rachel began to wave the girl over... only for her to take off shortly there after.

At first, Rachel had thought that maybe there was something wrong with her... or maybe that it was just a chance meeting and the two would never see each other again. However, Rachel would quickly be proved wrong at the start of the new school year. Not only was the girl she saw from the previous day joining her class as a new student, but she was also going to be sitting beside Rachel for the entire year as well. Rachel had been a bit nervous at first to begin associating with the new girl. The red haired girl was worried that she might pick on her and call her names... She was amazingly surprised when the new girl turned out to be an extremely, downright energetic girl. It did not take long at all for Rachel to find herself growing comfortable around the new girl, who introduced herself as Ashley. In fact by the end of the lunch period that day, the two had already managed to become fast friends. For the first time ever, Rachel found herself enjoying the constant company of someone she could actually call by that title, and she would not trade this feeling for anything in the world.

The years went by and the two got along better and better with each passing day, visiting each other, playing in their yards and even making Ashley's new tree house into their hang-out spot. However, around the age of nine, Rachel's entire life would turn upside down. It had all started like a mostly typical day. Ashley had unfortunately been ill, so Rachel was more or less alone that day. Rachel and the rest of her fourth grade class had been playing a game of dodge ball. While Rachel had never really been a very athletic girl, she always seemed to have some fun playing the game, especially when she was put on Ashley's team. In fact, her friend always seemed to go out of her way to make sure that a ball would rarely ever strike Rachel.

When it had been Rachel's turn to be on the team that was throwing the balls, something unusual happened. She launched the ball straight at a boy who was on the "dodgers" team. Much to Rachel's surprise, it had actually managed to hit the boy... but instead of celebrating, her eyes went wide as he began to scream bloody murder so to speak. Her eyes went wide, noticing that the dodge ball she had thrown was somehow completely frosted over... and cracked in half from where it fell to the blacktop pavement after hitting the boy. While the girl would have probably gotten off with a scolding or something of the sort, there were two key issues wrong with the picture. The first issue, there was not a drop of snow on the ground. The second issue, it was the middle of May.

Every eye fell upon the girl. The teacher stared in absolute disbelief. The woman quickly made her way towards Rachel, grabbing her arm to escort her to the principal's office for pelting the boy with a ball of ice. However, that never happened. Rather, the teacher screamed in shock and horror as she touched the bare skin of Rachel's arm... The girl's body temperature was absolutely abysmal. Rachel began to panic as more attention was drawn upon her. She curled, pleading and begging that she didn't do anything to the boy or her teacher. However, the more she began to panic the more things got out of hand. A sharp, cold wind began to blow across the playground as Rachel curled up in a ball to try and hide from the gaze of shock and awe everyone looked at her with, as if the arctic blast was trying to protect the girl in some manner. It would be on this day, that Rachel was removed from the elementary school all together.

The problems for Rachel seemed to escalate from there. For starters, she would spend many of the next years being home schooled... and more or less confined to her house. Rachel did not exactly blame her parents for this. After all the fuss she had somehow managed to cause, the girl began to think that maybe she deserved to be locked away like she was some sort of monster. However, the hardest part of it all was the fact that she could not see the one person who meant the most to her as often as she wanted any more: Ashley.

At first, Rachel had been completely devastated when her parents forbid her to see Ashley anymore. They tried to explain to her why it was for the best and why it could be dangerous for her friend if Rachel were to suddenly lose control of her new developed powers around her, causing an incident like she had back at her school. Still, no amount of justification could make the situation any better to the red haired girl. It felt as if parts of her heart were literally being ripped from her chest and smashed into pieces right before her eyes. The fact that Rachel's parents did not want Ashley to see their daughter anymore did not deter the girl however, and she climbed through the hole in the fence that the two had managed to keep hidden from their parents so far.

She found Rachel, scared and worried and asked her friend what was the matter. Rachel jerked at the sound of her voice and told her to stay away from her. Ashley was going to get to the bottom of this, though, and proceeded to get closer, which resulted in Rachel trying to push herself to a stand from the crouch she had been in, only for the ground she was standing on to freeze over, leaving the girl to slip and fall. Before she hit the ground however, Ashley had managed to catch her, almost slipping on the ice herself. The black-haired girl smiled down at her friend, Rachel tearing a little up as Ashley told her that no matter what was happening to her, she'd still be her friend.

Once Rachel's parents had found out that Ashley knew about their daughter's powers, they told Ashley's parents as well, allowing the two girls to continue seeing each other. While Rachel was being home schooled, Ashley had to continue to go to the regular school, but the girl felt really bad for her friend, being basically unable to leave her house because some people might find her powers worrying. Ashley decided that having the powers of ice at your disposal was extremely cool and continued to try and goad her friend into mischief of all sorts.

However, Rachel could still not leave her house, which Ashley figured, must have been extremely boring for the girl. So, she did the best thing she could do, and decided to borrow her parents' video camera and basically constantly use it in her daily life to film (Or take pictures with her phone) what was going on in the town and the world around them, sharing what she had seen and found with the red-haired girl, which seemed to cheer her up, much to Ashley's own joy.

The two continued to grow up into a pair of young ladies, until Rachel received a letter from some kind of fancy boarding school, that her parents had agreed to send her to. This came as another blow to Rachel, who could not stand the thought of finally parting ways with her best friend. She noticed how depressed Ashley became when she informed of the news, which absolutely broke Rachel's heart to see her friend so depressed. The red-haired girl had prepared to discuss with her parents about not going to the school, when suddenly Ashley came to their house with news of her own: she had received an invitation as well! Together, the two would head to the UK to attend the prestigious boarding school.

Ability Name: Arctic Blast

Explanation: Rachel's powers revolve around the element of ice. She is able to manipulate the moisture in the air in order to create this ice in the air. She is not limited to just the moisture in the air to control her power, however. Rachel is also able to freeze various liquids such as a puddle or a glass of water very quickly, but she must be close to the liquid that she intends to freeze, perhaps even touching it at times. Also, Rachel has the ability to even manipulate the shape and density of existing ice, making it much more durable and into various shapes and sizes. For example, if the girl was to encounter a patch of ice on the ground, she may have the capability to change its shape to cause maybe a small spike of ice to erupt from it or perhaps a wall once she becomes much, MUCH better with her powers later on.

Limitations: As one might expect, Rachel has various limitations when it comes to her powers. For one, she cannot always control her powers as well as she might like. In fact, the higher the temperature a location may be, the harder the time Rachel has harnessing the full potential of her powers. Another issue she seems to have is controlling her body temperature. For some reason, her ice powers have caused Rachel's body temperature to decrease to an abnormally low level. In fact, there are times that simply touching the girl's bare skin can cause frost bite, one of the factors on why she insists upon usually wearing long sleeves. Finally, it seems that exceedingly warm temperatures have a negative effect on the girl, making it easy for her to slip into an ill-like state during the warmer months of the year unless she is kept in a cooler room or state. Also when manipulating the shape of existing ice, the more the original shape is altered or changed the more energy used and tiring it is for Rachel.
