    Tucked deep away in the Canadian Rockies is a hidden school, a school for those who are, in some way, gifted in a manner others can't understand. It could be magic, thelepathy, lycanthropy, an unusual proficiency with weaponry, abnormal intelligence, vampiric traits, whatever. The headmaster of this school, the Shentavo Academy seeks these people out, to hone their abilities to a razor-edge. No one knows why he does this, but he does.

    The Academy is hidden in a valley surrounded by the tallest mountains in the range. Waterfalls cascade around it. It's a beautiful place and the school buildings match. The grounds are enormous, covering the valley and most of the mountain peaks around it. Dorms are provided. Around the main buildings fountains abound. The cafeteria serves excelent meals around the clock to accomadate the unusual needs of some students.

    All students are required to learn the basics of history, mathematics, literature, the martial arts, and science. They can specialize their course of study from there to suit individual needs. Whatever time they have left after coursework is there own to use, as long as they do not leave the grounds unescorted.

    Rules:
    -Abide by PC forum rules.
    -Use proper spelling and grammar.
    -Don't overpower your character/s. I will decide if you have.
    -I will play the Headmaster as well as my own student. Teachers can be played by anyone when needed.
    -Keep in mind, these abilities are undeveloped as of the start.
    -If I see fit to eject you for any reason, I can and will. Deal with it.

    Gender: Female
    Appearance: She has white hair that is slightly wavy, though occasionally looks unkept, and wears a white sweater with black slacks, and black tennis shoes. Her eyes are a sea-green color, some say when she is angry, they turn emotionless, and some say they can see a shadow of a shark in motion in her eyes.
    Personality: She is normally good-natured, however when she becomes angry, she will insessantly attack the sourse of her anger, and anything around her, much in the manner of a furious shark. however, like a black tip reef shark, she gives plenty of signals of her raising temper. She does have an un-ending appetite, having to eat a little over a half of her body weight every day. Despite this, she never becomes fat, and actually seems to eat less when fed more energy-packed foods. Heavy on the meat.
    Abilities: She has the ablity to change into a shark while in water, and sometimes she can't control when she transforms if she's upset. In her shark form, she's about the equivelent of a super-shark, able to think, plan, and notice things beyond prey. However, something annoys her, or she smells blood, she is no longer human. She loses all control.

    Sounds excellent. ^^

    Name: Hex
    Age: 14
    Gender: female
    Appearance: Slender with a graceful build, Hex ranges at about 5'3 in height. She has dark, vivid violet hair, tied up into two strands with pink ribbons. Bangs sweep over her translucent optics of shimmering cobalt, her peach skin having a subdued tint of maroon. She wears a violet top curving down, with laces at the front to keep it in its original figure, and cuffs at the end of each sleeve. Layers of dark violet cover her magenta skirt, light and easy to run around in. A thicker strand of red encircles her slim waist, tied up in a ribbon at the back. Her shoes look like ordinary black ones, except with a bit more pointed upwards. Striped pink and navy blue stockings match well with her unusual outfit.
    Personality: Hex is docile, eloquent and irritating, using her olden day language to perplex other people. She enjoys talking about the balance in life, with deep subconscious thoughts to share. She's the sort of girl who can meditate for a full day, and be oblivious to the time. Hex acts kind hearted, being a vegetarian, and liking to read. However, she always advises people to not be deceived of her looks and personality. She can be devious if she wants to, or even malicious, but many, many, many people stereotype her.
    Abilities: Hex can produce limited bits of dark magic, as well as the unusual profiency of handling a scythe.

    Name: Nic Wong
    Age: 14
    Gender: Evidently male

    Appearance: Thick squarish glasses, smooth and well defined black hair and eyes. Light skin, wears loose fitting Grey garments, consisting of a shirt and cargo pants. They don't really cling, but flow around him such that he mostly seems a formless grey blob from a distance. Or from very near. And those pants seem to have too many pockets, and jangle unnaturally when he intends to make people worried. As though he keeps something sharp in there... which, of course, isn't true. Thick grey boots on his feet. These clothes are mostly re-enforced to prevent him from getting hurt too much. Mostly effective against piercing things.

    Personality: Cheerful and tries to make friends with everyone (and everything). Views everyone and everything in an overly positive light.
    Btw, friends also fall under the category of test subjects ^^

    Abilities: Um... you remember me mentioning something about his pockets not containing weapons? Yeah, because he isn't stupid enough to keep them in his pockets. Since his pockets are packed with booby-traps for inquisitive fingers. And the weapons... it's time for you to fear the killer pencil-box of modified pens and diamond edged rulers...everything can be a weapon if viewed in the correct way! Except blueberry pancakes, but let's ignore that for now.
    Oh yeah. And has slight control over wind too.

    <OOC>Wow, ten people. Let's start.<OOC>

    It was a free day, deep in midsummer. A nice day outside. I'd decided to train out there, take advantage of the harsh terrain. I drew my leg up to the inner side of my knee, raising the naginata with my. I was perched on a narrow rock, training. The instructors said I had talent as a fighter, it was time to test the theory. Without warning, I exploded into motion with a straight overhead chop. I followed with a sweeping technique almost on the ground, finishing with a diagonal slash, coming up and to the right.
     
    Paige watched the boy curiously. She silently moved over to watch him train better. "Wow...." she said in aw she had of corse seen battles but they were only memories. TYhis was the first time she had seen a real sword attack something.........
     
    <OOC>A nagnata is a bladed staff, just FYI.<OOC>

    "What" I replied cooly, standing back up and holding the weapon in a neutral position. It seemed I did have a bit of a gift there, I'd never held a naginata before this morning, yet the moves had seemed to flow naturally out of me, just an instinctive knowledge oif how it was used. Obviously, it needed honing, but still...It was exhilirating.
     
    OOC: I HAVE TO JOIN! PLEASE PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE!!!!! *gets down on knees and begs*

    You've created what could only possibly be described as one of the best rps I've seen in a super long time.

    I must must must join this, TAD! PLEASE!
     
    <OOC>I accept LSU's until page two in most cases. You qualify. Come on, join in.<OOC>
     
    That important question everyone asks on free days. 'What to do?' Well, I would answer that with one simple answer: "Something stupid!"

    Todays stupid idea was all set. My plan was to slide down a muddy hill on a plank of wood, right of the edge of a cliff not too far off the ground. For me it was okay, as I always seemed to land on my feet.

    I took a running start at the hill, threw the board down, and jumped, landing on the board perfectly. The mud provided less friction, so the board flew swiftly down the hill, and off the edge. As I flew over the edge, I noticed a girl, and I guy practicing with a sword off to my left.

    Then, realized I hadn't accounted for something when I planned this. How the heck to grip the board while I was in the air! The board slipped out from underneath me, and I plummeted towards the ground, landing on my feet, and stumbling forward.

    "Okay then..." I mumbled, "Next time, plan thoroughly..."
     
    I walked outside. It was a nice sunny day. Though dsepite that, the gfound seemed kind of muddy. I grimaced as I accidentally stepped in a mud puddle. I walked out further into the yard and looked around. I didn't particularily like sunny days. They made me depressed. but I decided I might as well practice shapeshifting.

    I found a dry path of earth next to a hill. I sat down there, closed my eyes and focussed on my body becoming cat-like... After a minute or two I opened them again. If I had had a mirror, I would have had brown fur all over my body with cat-like ears and a tail. I quickly called off the tarnsformation and stood up. I practiced transforming my hands into paws for a few mintues. After I was finished, I deicded to watch the goings on.
     
    Paige heard the boy but ignored him. "um... sir if you were asking "what" to me then my answer is that I have never seen anyone using any weapon in reality so I was amazed!" Paige answered quite simple. Her ears were twitching and so was her tail she felt excited about seeing all sorts of these things. Her crimson eyes were searching all over the place she seemed in a trance.

    OOC: my character is like Maha from .hack//
     
    OOC: Artemis scares me in Streams of Silver, and probably for the rest of the series! OO

    I'll take the Drizzt approach though.

    Name: Drizzt Con'tirna (Can't have am exact copy, couldn't live with myself if I did that.)
    Age: 16 (they could be rivals! XD)
    Gender: Male
    Appearance: Long, skin, yet muscles are apparent though his frail structure. Light chain mail is what he's most comfortable in, in the style of the Drow, yet made of Mythril and the lack of drow magic.
    Personality: Clever, cunning, sure-footed, self-righteous, strong. On the flip side, he uses his available resources to his advantage, and he usually plans every step of his plans with pin-point accuracy.
    Abilities: Twin scimitars! (YAY FOR SCIMITARS!) He weilds his blade with a grace like know other, and he fights with all of his values. If anyone is lucky to view his swordsmanship, they'd be slackjawed with wonder and amazement at how well, and how naturally he weilds his weapons.

    Man I tryed not to make that exactly like Drizzt...I hope it's ok if it's almost a direct copy...I just sat down my book to type this...I got Drizzt on the brain... XD
