Closed Emberstone College for the Gifted Season 2

[TheNapQueen]

Hello all!

We have decided to open up our group roleplay for those who are interested in joining our new season/new semester gifted college RP. Please be aware that we do post a few times a day and hope you can as well.

Here is the preface for Season 1:

Two hundred years have gone by since the very foundation of soceity was turned upside down. A large wave of energy exploded outward from Iceland, blanketing the entire world, warping the DNA of many unsuspecting species. No one was able to find happiness in their new found powers as they were suddenly villified and singled out as freaks by those who werent blessed with such mutations.

What should have been a crowning achievment for evolution was ruined by jealousy and a lack of understanding. The 'gifteds' as they have taken to calling themselves were quickly thrust into hiding. Some are able to hide in the open, those with altered characteristics found themselves living the forest and even sewers. It was that level of hate and fear that forced a council of powerful gifteds to pool all of their resources together to build a safe haven for gifteds and even gifted sympathizers; thus Emberstone was born.

What began as a small colony founded in the middle of Idahos Salmon-Challis National Forest evolved into the booming society known simply as Emberstone. Emberstone has grown into a large society allowing many families to grow and live normal happy lives free from all the hate that comes with jealous normies. You can also find thriving business, stable jobs and many levels of etertainment all throughout Emberstone. Malls, drive-in theaters, normal cinema, restaurants, and every level of entertainment in-between.

The most famous location in all of Emberstone is its College spanning over 30,000 acres and numerous buildings to fit the needed requirements to carefully and effectively teach individuals with dangerous abilities. The Main Hall is the largest building standing at seven stories and made from enchanted brick able to sustain an assault if needed. The dormitories consist of three four story buildings; Co-ed, Male, Female. You can find a large lake east of the campus for training our water gifteds or for simply visiting and swimming. Large open fields can be found throughout the forest housing Emberstone for some of the most dangerous gifted training. Essentially Emberstone is fully set up to house, hold, and teach gifteds while also supplying a normal everyday lifestyle for those looking for it. You can find nearly everything you need for any lifestyle.

What happened in Season 1?

The main thing that happened in season 1 was the city of Emberstone was under attack by an extremist group called the Brothers of Adam. They abducted and killed gifteds until a select group of students dismantled the group to the best of their ability which sent remaining BOA members into hiding.

Aside from that there has been romance, drama, and all sorts of fun at Emberstone. We would be happy to have you.

History: Cass was born to a normal human father, Keiji Ishikawa and a naiad, a water nymph that lives in fresh waters of rivers and streams. Her mother disappeared when she was around 10, seemingly abandoning her husband and daughter. Neither really recovered from the sudden loss and the relationship between Cass and her father deteriorated as well. Though they still care for each other, they're not close. She grew up in a predominantly human area and as a result was bullied a fair bit in school. She had a rocky relationship with her high school sweetheart, another gifted named Mitch that eventually ended when she caught him with another woman in bed. Mitch has followed her to Emberstone, but aside from a cold confrontation with him, she has not seen him since.
She was part of the group that rescued the students kidnapped by the Brothers of Adam.
Cass is actively looking for her missing mother, Sylvia Brooks. In her downtime between school and working in the infirmary, she is searching for any information or clues related to her mother's disappearance.

Spoiler: Cass

Eyes: hazel
Hair: wavy, white, short, typically wind blown

Body Type: wiry, lanky.

History: Isaac grew up in an upper middle class household with his parents and his twin sister Irene. His father is a doctor and both parents are very active in the gifted community. Though Isaac and Irene get along alright, he's always felt he lived in her shadow as she excelled more academically than he did. He transferred to Emberstone after an incident at his last school forced him to drop out.
Isaac's father runs an especially private practice in the family home. His patients can be a bit on the unsavory side of the law, and he uses the funds from these visits to perform his own ethically gray experiments on mice. As a result, Isaac is somewhat familiar with the Underground and has acted as an errand boy for supplies for his father.

Spoiler: Isaac

 

[Zory]

Name; Olwen "Ollie" Kingston
Age: 20
Height: 5'6"
Build: Small and lithe
Orientation: Bisexual
About: He's the younger of a set of fraternal twins. He's shy, quiet and a little awkward, but he has a bit of sass. He is a musician and can play just about any instrument. He's had his heart broken in the past and puts up a solid wall between him and partners. He has a quick temper.

Name: Emily Kingston
Age: 20
Height: 5'6"
Build: Athletic
Orientation: Straight
About: Emily is the older of a set of fraternal twins. Shes the complete opposite of her brother. Friendly, outgoing and loves to party and make new friends. She has a jealous/overprotective streak when it comes to her brother.

Abilities: Emily and Olwen are shapeshifter. Able to take any animal or human form. They mimic who/what they shift into and can download enough memories to become them.

Biography: Emily shifted for the first time when she was 15. After her mother witnessed this, she took Emily and ran. Emily and Olwen's dad was part of an organization meant to destroy gifteds. She left Olwen with his dad since it was rare for the offspring of a shifter and human to demonstrate powers. Olwen didn't shift until he was 17. And then he went looking for Emily and his mom. Their weaknesses are different. Emily can only hold her shift temporarily, but she can shift quickly. Olwen is significantly slower in shifting. Once he's shifted he tends to immerse himself a little too much into what he is mimicking.

The Knowledge On the Twins

Their Dad is a member of the terrorist group that was responsible for the abductions last year, though it's not really been mentioned.

Emily has killed someone, but only a few know about it. She doesn't talk about it as it seems to upset her brother. Of course, she did kill his girlfriend because she tried to kill Olwen, but it bothers Olwen.

Not much is known about Olwen however. He did however spend three years with their dad after the apparent divorce of his parents.

So a basis for their abilities:

Self healing: This only is because they can shift ubtk themselves before they were injured, thus gives this effect of rejuvenation

Voice mimicry: being able to shift into anyone/anything means they can mimic their voice.

Telepathy: Once they shift, they download the memories so they can become that person.

Spoiler: Emily and Olwen

[Jarl]

Full Name: Lloyd Atticus Chambers
Nickname: Handy, Righty, Atty
Species/Race: Human/Unknown
Ability: Hemokinesis
Age: 24
​

Physical information

Hair Color: White
Hair Style: Straight and shoulder length.
Skin Color: Tan
Eye Color: Pink Iris. The whites are completely blood red.
Body Shape: Thin and muscular
Height: 6'4
Orientation: Personality
Relationship: Single and ready to Mingle. Just don't ask for hugs.
Tattoo(s): None.
Languages: English. Speaks with a refined southern accent.
Notable characteristics: He is missing his right arm from where the joint would meet the shoulder.


Background

Lloyd was kidnapped at the age of thirteen by a terrorist organization which we would later find out to be the Brothers of Adam. His ability to generate blood several times faster than a normal human gave them a near infinite supply of 'gifted' blood to experiment on. He also became a feeding source for any species that required blood to be kept alive, allowing for the BoA to use less resources on acquiring food for their prisoners. The boys blood was capable of quickly adapting to the tranquilizers they injected into him forcing the organization to monitor him and increase the dosage several times throughout his captivity. They feared the capabilities of his powers so he was kept in that medically induced coma for the worst part of ten years.

It wasn't until his 'caretakers' started getting sloppy when word got out that a facility was raided and their location could be compromised. Damage control was in full effect as high priority test subjects began being moved with haste. Fortunately for him, one of the caretakers were in such a hurry, they did not double check that he was getting the proper dosage of medication. This allowed him to gain consciousness momentarily but it was enough time for him to collapse every single vein in his right arm preventing any further drugs from finding its way through his body.

Now with his mind finally entering a state of clarity, he knew he needed to escape but was uncertain of how to pull it off. The first plan that came to mind was the plan he went decided to use. He quickly rushed as much blood to his right arm until it burst open like an overfilled water balloon. Yes, it hurt like hell and was just the level of pain he needed to have his adrenaline kick in and do what was needed. Now being relatively conscious he got a good look at his surroundings noticing that he was in what appeared to be an ambulance with three strangers now drenched in his blood. Without any such warning, he set the blood on them to boil melting away their skin. When wounds opened up on the strangers, he sent his blood traveling through their body turning it in a spike that you would see stabbing out of multiple areas on the captors flesh before going back inside and repeating the action.

When all was said and done, the inside of the ambulance crashed and was a bloody mess that even Dexter Morgan would refuse to work the scene. The malnourished and sickly figure that was Lloyd crawled out of the vehicle with a recovered cell phone and a skeletal arm dangling at his side. He dialed the only number he could remember and prayed that it was never changed. The moment he heard his fathers voice, he passed out.


Personality

Lloyd has refused to let the darkness of his past define who he is as a person. After spending time in a hospital and several months in physical therapy accompanied by the occasional visit to the psychiatric ward, he came out with a new look on life. All he wanted to do was return to a normal life of whatever it was he supposed to be doing at his age and gifted persuasion. That meant, college, parties, girls, guys, wings, horns, tails, etc.

After his mind finally caught up with his age, he decided that with his lack of both an arm and knowledge of how she should behave that he needed to make up for all that in a different area. He decided that to get by in life, he needed to be charming, flirtatious and have a great sense of humor. (He may or may not make an inappropriate amount of jokes about his traumatic past) He also tends to work out and eat a lot. You will often find working out or jogging. (hence the tan skin)

[robbiexxx]

Okay, so I've decided to write up another character (I'm gonna die). BUT the thing is, it'll be much later until I actually introduce him. SO that means, that this sheet's gonna be under construction until his glorious debut, which also means that nothing here is entirely concrete, there'll be a few switch-ups here and there most probably.

Name: He's got a name- and it's a boy name too. I present to thee~~~ Maximus K. Harrington
Nicknames: Max, Maxi-taxi, Maxi-pad
Age: 26 years of age
Orientation: He doesn't give a shit.
Ethnicity: Asian/Caucasian (should probably specify this at some point)
Build: Lean but still acquires a fair bit of muscle
Hair: Brown
tone: Fair with golden undertones.
Tattoos:

Spoiler: Wouldn't it be hilarious if I gave him the Mike Tyson tattoo???

Eyes: Dark brown
Height: 6"1
Race: werewolf
Appearance:

Spoiler: I was stuck on this for hours

Personality: He's a major bitch. Okay, so he's not a total dickhead but every day he stretches further and further away from the light of Jesus Christ himself. Amen. But in all seriousness, Max is cunning, and somewhat ruthless when it comes to companionship. Think stereotypical hardened CEO (Christian Grey who?) and add a few MORE clichés to the mix. And yet, despite his unapproachable demeanor, Max is almost scarily charming. Alluring/enticing would be the words (forgetting English). He can get whoever and whatever he wants in his firm grasp within a matter of seconds. He's even got that Chuck Bass smolder. BUTTT, despite his inability to keep good, true and long lasting relations, Max ain't that bad. Sure he uses people for his own benefit, looks down on those without reason and of course, refuses to consider anyone but himself, but deep deep deeep deep down, our fellow Maxi-pad is actually a good person. What one doesn't see is, and what he refuses to showcase is, that he'll protect his friends and family to the death. Even if they don't know it themselves.

Bio: The glitz, the glam. What more can I say? This Harrington was the first to endure it all. Being the primary alpha before our dear Ren, Maxi-taxi was the golden heir to the clan. But of course that all changed when... when- ugh you'll find out.

Abilities:Generally, werewolves acquire the ability to shift into an enhanced wolf like creature either on a whim(under their control) or under some curse/spell(out of their control). Their animalistic transformations is often associated with the rise of the shining full moon. While they are meant to resemble mere common wolves, majority of their senses are heightened such as size, agility, speed etc.
