Ginny appreciates the help and friendliness, don't worry!

Oh I'm not worried, I enjoy watching my characters struggle through challenges, and I don't plan on making Will's life easy.

aljdhfalkdjfs finally homeee xD

Post should be up soon... but my mom might wanna use the laptop so maybe not :/

Ha, just realized I forgot to have Will introduce himself, I edited it in, unless someone likes it better that way >.< forgetful brain

Whew, I missed a bunch didn't I? Sorry if I didn't do much after my character left you two, Seph and Bastian. >.<

No worries dude, it was still a nice time in the library and now Will is helping a pretty lady so he has no complaints and neither do I =)

Hey, it's alright! Sorry for running off like that, but you know, duty calls. Matthias still thinks Riley is a pretty cool dude :D

Alright, sent my idea for a power off to Swift. Hopefully it'll be good enough to field.

If so, prepare for overloaded batteries lying in random places.

Hehe posted right now. Looks like lessons will get in the way of Nathan's seducing technique.

Please reserve me. :( There is still a last spot available if I am correct?

Manchester O'Brien

Age: 18

Appearance: Manchester O'Brien, or Manchester stands at a height of 5'7". His head is crowned with silver-white hair that reaches until his shoulder, a different and unusual color than those of his foster parents. His black eyes, on the other hand, were like his foster father's: deep pool of tar-black eyes that seemed to radiate a certain kind of glint. He is not heavy-set despite of the amount of work he did during his tenure in the circus, nor is he skinny. Being a gourmet at heart, Manchester O'Brien managed to keep a healthy build of body. His skin is light-tan in color.

Manchester's choice of wardrobe is very random. He had no particular liking to any type of clothing. Hoodies, T-Shirts, polos; as long as it fits him, he is perfectly fine for it. However, Manchester has an unhealthy affinity to colors, especially the color blue. Because of this, his wardrobe is composed mainly of blue.

History: Manchester O'Brien, not his real name, was born an enigma. Nothing is known of Manchester's parental history or birth records, as he was abandoned (presumably) by his parents when he was still a wee infant. The people who discovered him was a group of travelling circus people. They were then in the city of England, hoping to catch the attention of the richer population of the world when the baby was found inside their circus tent during clean-up after a full-show. Their circus master, a large man going by the name Herman O'Brien, decided to adopt the kid as his own, naming him after his favorite football team.

As a kid, Manchester was loved by the people serving his foster-father. Even Herman's wife, Hilda O'Brien, considered Manchester as the son they never had. He was a happy-go-lucky kid, always cheerful and seldom throws tantrums (and most of these tantrums were related in some way to video games.) Mingling with the circus folk, Manchester was taught the basics of life; he was never schooled as the circus goes where the money is. The people around him became his teachers. His father thought perseverance, his mother the concept of religion and faith, the jugglers the importance of practice, etc. However, the lesson Manchester always looked forward to were the lessons with the clowns. It's not the life lessons he needed (clowns taught that humor and fun is important for a healthy living) but the technique to magic. He was amazed by the power of the sleight of the hand, the dexterity of the magicians' fingers, and the different tricks to magic. He decided to try it on his own. By the age of thirteen, he was considered a rising magician among the circus folks, already able to produce tricks barely managed by the older, and obviously, more experienced magicians.

Little did they know, Manchester managed to tap into his 'hidden self,' as he called it. By ways Manchester does not reveal, he learned that he could control light to some extent, that is, to provide the necessary illusions. While he cannot completely control light (like turn the bulb on/off or emit light beams from his eyes), Manchester could project holograhic illusions into thin air. He knew that he could develop his control over his ability more, and it would not happen neither inside the folds of the circus tent nor under the tutelage of Herman O'Brien and his band of magicians.

When he reached eighteen, a letter came to the circus tent bearing the logo for an academy. Gilded Halls as it was called. However, neither Herman nor Hilda have heard of the school and both were mystified how they came to know of Manchester. As far as they know, Manchester have been thoroughly schooled inside the circus, never attending school. Manchester did not know either but he was curious as to how these academy managed to acquire knowledge of his existence. His foster parents were reluctant to let him go. Manchester, however, was pushy; he kept on saying that that was his first real chance for a proper schooling. Without letting Herman and Hilda O'Brien know, Manchester snuck out their circus tent and made his way into the academy.

Ability name: Optical Illusion Conjuration (or O.I.C or Light Illusions)

Explanation: Light is one of the most constant factor in the universe; that is, until Manchester learned that he could control it. He used this power for the creation of illusions for his magic tricks. Magic is almost always attributed to the quick sleight of the hand of the magician but Manchester discovered he can bend light to his will; make them bounce off black bodies, pass through opaque objects, even control how it refracts in a liquid medium, just for the sake of producing the false impression he needed.

Limitations:

Light is a fairly difficult element to, well, control. Since light travels really fast (approximate 300,000,000 meters per second,) the energy required of Manchester to control it is fairly overwhelming. While the small "disappearing acts" will not leave Manchester huffing and puffing, the said controlled refraction and reflection will cost him a good amount of energy. A risk of fainting from too much use of his powers still exists.

It also requires a fairly good amount of concentration. While Manchester have already trained himself to sync with the proper level of concentration, a good surprise while doing his "tricks" is already good enough to disturb him.

At the moment, the best things Manchester could do with his magic are petty magic tricks; make a card disappear or reappear, change the color of a thing, or produce a small image of anything in his hand. While his illusions are pretty convincing at first look, one could notice upon further inspection that the image is rippling; it lacks the solidity and rigidity of a real object. Also, the size of the image he could project is still limited. He finds it impossible to produce images bigger than his hand.

Room Number: 11

WIP
Done. I think. Let me know if I need to change anything. I really wanted to join this RP. :)

Have you guys decided which elements your characters will master? or maybe ALL the elements?

I'm not sure if Ginny will be able to master any element really.. I'm thinking one... fire would fit her hair color but I probably won't do that.

Alright, finished with my signup! Got a much better and interesting power than before, so I'm immensely satisfied with this one.

Ability name: Particle Acceleration

Explanation:
Limitations:

Yo, Swift, I think I have an idea for an ability, but could you check if it's okay? HERE'S THE POST OF MY SU! Not finished yet, just checking beforehand!

Yes, my character will have a condition of synesthesia :]

Full name: Kyle Marx
Age: 15

Appearance: Kyle Marx is about 5 foot 6 with a scrawny build. He has hazel eyes and a sharp face as well as midnight black hair. His hair is almost a buzz cut but has a little bit of length. His favorite colors to wear are black and white. He prefers to wear clothes that fit him perfectly. Such as his black undershirt, which is a bit snug, and his white wind breaker with no hood. Normally when he is around other people he is immediately interested on their lives and how they grew up. This is because he has a thirst for culture to go along with his language talent. Around people he also tries to look his best by sitting up straight and never sulking.

History: When Kyle was younger he didn't even know that there was more than just the one language he had been taught to speak. At around 6 his loving parents would often times catch him having some pretty long "conversations" with stray dogs in an alley that was close by their house. At the age of 10 a foreign exchange student from Iceland came who could speak little English. Much to the surprise, and delight, of his teachers however they became good friends and would constantly speak in the friend's native tongue.

At age 14, however, all of his childhood would slowly melt away when his whole family went on a camping trip to a forest that was still chock full of wild animals. That chilly September night a grizzly bear attacked the tent. Kyle, upon hearing the commotion, ran outside and began to tell the bear to leave them alone and go home. The bear turned to face Kyle, gave him a good long look in the eye, and then ran off. His parents were close by and for the first time they truly got to see their son's special talent. They were shocked by this occurrence at first but over time they slowly got used to the idea. At 15 years of age Kyle got invited to a new school for people with special abilities, people like him.

Ability name: Omnilingualism
Explanation: Kyle can speak in any language spoken by humans and animals. He is able to understand them as well. Lastly he can also read and write these languages.
Limitations:
• He must have heard or seen the language, but once he has he can interpret it perfectly.
• He cannot speak in any language other than his own whenever he is under alot of emotional stress.

Room Number: 11

I would like to reserve a spot.

Actually, I think I'm done! CLICK ON THIS MAGICAL LINK! :D Is it acceptable, Peter? :3

Now this is interesting. She'll be sharing a room with a really rich kid who has the ability to blow small objects up at random. lol

I wonder how this will pan out.
