Originally the rule was to give bare minimum information but I have spoken with the other directors about this requirement. We now will need a rough Bio of your characters history to fully gauge your writing prowess.
Welcome to Emberstone! A large city centered in the middle of Idahos Salmon-Challis forest. It is the home of every supernatural being that can coexist with others safely. It houses a prestige college that caters specifically to the teachings needed to help the supernatural control their abilities. It also helps to redirect their innate desires into a manner more fitting for life outside of Emberstone.
Now Emberstone season 1 had rave reviews and remains the longest running thread on Mark Twains table. Season 2 however was met with some negative reviews with a lot of casting issues. But the good news is that a reboot for season 1 is in the works as we speak! We are also looking for extra cast members who are willing to work with us regularly to escape reality.
Emberstone will focus on the college students and teachers. If you are a student, I ask that your character and ability have some flaws that give you a reason for attending the college. The teachers will of course have better control over their ability but we still will maintain a level of control over them to avoid being 'broken' or 'overpowered'.
There of course will be your typical city living things such as malls, cinema, part time jobs, bars, etc. You will not be confined to the college campus.
For character descriptions. A face claim and what you believe necessary information for the RP. Let your characters story come to life through role play. Gives honest reactions as well. If you are unsure about a particular aspect of their story and if it contradicts someone else, simply message me and I will begin the questioning and problem solving.

Biography:
An unknown amount of years ago, Deaths 'son' Spectre Ionel, bedded the fairy queen, Liv druid. This unnatural union spawned two children, Jorunn Livson and Astrid Spectredottir. At an early age, he made the choice to be tutored by his father so that his sister could maintain some semblance of a normal life. When he reached maturity, he left the kingdom to explore the world beyond the trees and would only return when his parents were inevitably killed. After reuniting with his family at home, he remained for an undisclosed amount of years, acting as adviser and right hand of the new Queen, his sister. When he believed that his sister and kingdom could strive without his council, he ventured outward again. The Fairy Kingdoms army became so formidable under his tutelage that Emberstones council personally reached out to him. He initially declined the request but with some 'encouraging' words from his sister, he accepted it.
Personality:
A man of very few words. However, the words he chooses to say, will be used to hurt you. He believes that everyone, no matter the circumstances of their birth, need to prove themselves worthy of possessing the gift of life. That rule especially applies to those born with a supernatural gift. Another defining characteristic is his refusal to lie, no matter the scenario. This way of thinking also manifest itself into a disdain for those who do choose to lie. Amongst the Emberstone staff and students, he is known as a ruthless Professor whose class requires numerous legal waivers before attending. He does not believe there is a middle ground between success and failure.
Overall appearance: Dirty blond hair, pale skin and blue eyes. Both ears are pierced and he wears silver studs in them.
Personality: Has a temper, but it's a slow build. Sometimes he says things without thinking. He's willing to get all of the facts before making a decision. He hates social interaction and would rather spend time studying. He's not the confrontational type unless he's angry, and most of the time will avoid a fight by "running."
Abilites: Can form physical defensive shields with his mind. In hand to hand he often just creates smaller ones in front of him, but he is capable of creating larger ones to shield more people Offensively, he can manipulate the shields into something smaller (like a ball or spear shape) and mentally throw it at someone, though he rarely uses offensive abilities. His downfall is it takes a lot of mental strain on him and he can and will tire out.
Biography: Olwen grew up in a wealthy household with his twin sister Emily. The two were close and Olwen took the divorce harder than his sister did.

Biography: Mihaela grew up in Cincu, Romania. It's a small village just on the outskirts of the Carpathian mountains. She is a gypsy and while her family didn't roam like most, they still met tourists in the city and provided them with entertainment.

She met an American soldier when she was eighteen at the military base nearby who brought her back to the states where she went to school and got her RN degree.

Name: Abel Messorum
Nickname: Ace
Face claim: Noctis Lucis Caelum (post time skip)
Species: Celestial (Angel)
Vessel's Age: 24
Student / Teacher: Teacher
Classes offered: Physics / Mathematics / Music / Medical Introduction
Gender: Male
Height: 6'0"
Hair: short, jet black
Eyes: deep brown, near black
Skin tone: tan
Body type: lean, athletic
Features: ivory feathered wings (able to be hidden away and made ethereal via celestial magic) [full wing span from one end to the other is six and a half feet long with the plums of his wings reaching three and a quarter feet long. There are four rows of plumbs], minor scar across the chest overseeing the heart and on the left palm
Abel is a celestial being who is descendent of the first humans. Through the spiritual cycle of life, death, and life after death, he has play his hand in many experiences throughout human life. Within his current human vessel, he finds himself in a new city familiar to his home; a safe haven for all being mythical, spiritual, or otherwise existent. Despite many years of experience, Abel's well of knowledge only extends as far as his vessel will allow. While retaining knowledge of who and what he is, his knowledge of mortal studies is limited by his vessel. In this case, he retains a knowledge of mathematics and physical science. His source of magic extends from the spirits of water, giving him the skills of a hydromancer. His focus into healing the wounded and injured extended his hydromancy into the blood of mortality, allowing him access to Hemomancy.
Fun facts (to be updated over time):
- Abel plays the bass in his spare time and offers music lessons to those who want to learn, or jam sessions for any other fellow musicians
- Abel retains knowledge of the divine, so the many deities that have existed through time and space have at least a name he may recognize
Addendum (12 Aug 2019): a breakdown on Abel's magic prowess
Hydromancy: Allows Ace the ability to manipulate nearly pure water substances. If a water source is too contaminated (waste material for example), he cannot control it. Similarly, he cannot control the molecular structure of hydrogen and oxygen, thus he is unable to manipulate moisture in the air, and is unable to manipulate ice. Pure water, sea water, and lake water are the three waters he can manipulate.
Hemomancy: a focus of hydromancy, Abel's hemomancy extends from the manipulation of his own blood. He can not manipulate the blood of other human beings. Given his universal donor blood type, his emergency healing involves using his own vessel's blood supply to repair wounds and damage. He cannot use it to remove disease or illness. Similarly, he cannot use it to inflict harm, as he has no means of freezing the blood or manipulating the iron within it. He controls the water of his blood to repair and replenish blood to others

Name: Risa Nogawa
Nickname: Swan
Face Claim: Momoyo Kawakami (Veiled) / Lightning Farron (True)
Species: Demoness
Age: 21
Student / Teacher: Student
Gender: Famale
Height: 6'1 (Veiled) / 5'8 (True)
Hair: Jet Black (Veiled) / Pink (True)
Eyes: Deep Red (Veiled) / Blue (True)
Skin Tone: Fair
Body Type: Hourglass figure with slight pinch waist (Veiled) / Slight pear figure (True)
Illusions: Risa's magical affinity leans towards the psycho side of the range of magics out there. As a result, her magics are all about feigning truth to those she either does not trust or need to use for her own gain. As a part of her illusion magic, she has the ability to alter her physical form (or rather, how others perceive her physical presence. She can alter her height, aroma, body shape, vocal pitch, and body features. She refers to this altering of her body as 'covering herself in a veil.'
Mental Projection: With experience, Risa can create a projection of her veiled self to wander and interact with the world. She is limited in the range that her projection can wander from her own body, having to be within 100 yards of the projection. Risa can fully interpret what her projection sees, hears, smells, and feels. As a result, any pain the projection would feel, she would also feel. Any external physical injuries (such as cuts and bruises) will not appear on her body, but she will feel the effect of these injuries until she recalls her projection. Internal effects (such as exhaustion, drugging, and internal bodily damage) do effect Risa as if she had suffered the effect directly.
Kendo: Risa is skilled using a Shinai. Focusing on dexterity of the weapon as opposed to raw strength, her sword play is focused on avoiding attacks and countering. If she is forced to oppose in strength, she will have a severe disadvantage.
Her psychomancy is fairly limited beyond altering her own self and projecting her body. She cannot read another persons mind and she lacks true telepathy. If she sends her projection to talk with another, she can hold a conversation as if she were in front of the other person.
Fun Facts:
- Risa is a condescending and rude person, often showing immediate disdain for any new person she meets that is not in an immediate position of importance above her (a professor or a business person would have her immediate common respect, but fellow students, student teachers, and common people would not receive her immediate respect.
- In her youth, she would often show bouts of violence to other children in her age group. Her parents found a way for her to channel this seemingly unwarranted violence in the art of Kendo. Others in her Kendo class would call her a 'Swan' which is where she adopted the name.
- When veiled, she will introduce herself simply as Swan.
- Risa has some knowledge of what the criminal mindset is. This can be seen as she will often try to connive others to do things that would lead to an end goal of her desires. This could be as simple as earning favor and gifts for her charisma, or could be as deep rooted as to ruin another being's reputation
-Risa has some minor practice in vocalization. As a result, she can occasionally be heard singing by herself if she is not performing with a group of musicians.
Electromancy: Albain can store electrical charges within his body. Tthese shock charges mess with electrical equipment such as light fixtures, radios, televisions, and so on. However, Albain has minimal control over this, and typically cannot manifest these abilities willingly. (Think of ghosts messing with the electricity in a house they haunt).
Ghost Traits: Since Albain is a ghost, he has the ability to travel through physical objects. He cannot pass through 'pure' materials, such as pure iron or silver. He also cannot pass beyond unbroken salt lines and salt circles. He retains a very weak means of messing with physical items without himself touching them. (Example; he can shake curtains, and lift mundain items like lamps and plates, but he cannot ignite or completely move curtains, and he cannot lift chairs or tables much more than perhaps an inch or two from the ground).
Fun Facts:
- Albain plays the drums
- Albain loves to cook and will often be found cooking dishes during the evening to hone his culinary skills
- Albain is the youngest of three triplets (Albain, Boulon, and Celerity).
- Albain is a very positive and friendly being, wanting to give joy and happiness to those around him.

Fun Facts:
Name: Duncan Pinkerton Nicknames: Cane, Dumbo & Pinky Student/Teacher: Student Age: 20 Gender: Male Height: 5 ft 10 in Weight: 73kg Race: Vaewolf (Werewolf/Vampire Hybrid) Abilities:
Physiology - Vaewolves are hybrids of Werewolves and Vampires. Gaining strengths from both 'parent' species, while few weaknesses.
You see, as a Hybrid, Duncan does NOT possess a full Lupine form. Especially since his wolf powers came from a dormant gene (more in background). Currently the manifestation of his wolf side is in the extra fangs in his mouth, the claws he can extend and his eyes. More Lupine traits may come out later, but that won't be until at least after he graduates or has a character ark play out.
Strength wise, Duncan is currently strong enough to lift small cars and bend metal, fast enough to move at/beyond the high-way speed limit, durable enough to withstand being thrown off tall buildings. On full moons, when he "rages out" and goes wolf mode, which is basically a months worth of blood lust pent up, he becomes strong enough to lift heavy vehicles and punch through steel, fast enough to move at subsonic speeds, agile enough to leap over small buildings and dodge supersonic attacks, durable enough to withstand bullets, grenades and low-to-medium explosives.
His strength will increase as he ages, but it won't have much effect over the course of the story. It's more on the scale of hundreds of years.
He is studying the Dark Arts, but unless he undergoes a large character ark, it is unlikely he will have any practical magical abilities.
So, I know you all want to know about weaknesses. Wounds inflicted by silver heal slower than other wounds. On a full moon, basically all conscious though goes out the window. Beheading is a sure fire way to kill. Wooden stake through the heart will paralyse Duncan until it is removed.
Background: The creation of a Vaewolf is often convoluted. With no standard way of a Hybrid being created, they are quite rare, and often very different from each other. Some express their vampirism dominantly, other express the wolf side. I'm not going to go into all the ways a vampire or werewolf can become a Hybrid, but I will clear up a common misconception. Vampires are sterile. A Vaewolf will never be born of a vampire parent and a werewolf parent. It is possible for a half vampire (dhampir) to have a child with a werewolf and birth a Vaewolf, but never a full vampire.
Now onto Duncan and how he became a Vaewolf. You see, the Pinkerton family, way back when Allan Pinkerton started his detective agency, were werewolves. This wasn't something Duncan knew before becoming a Vaewolf, as the line had fallen dormant. The Pinkerton hadn't shown werewolf traits for at least four generations.
Which meant when Duncan was walking home one night, a Vampire thought he was a normal human. The vampire took pity on Duncan, or maybe it was something else, but the Vampire decided to turn Duncan.
It turns out, that being turned into a Vampire awakened the dormant werewolf gene. Something that the sire had not expected.
Well, now a Vaewolf has its own challenges. A thirst for blood, and full moon rage were now both things Duncan had to learn how to control. The only place he thought could teach him was Emberstone College, a Place his site had attended to help control his blood lust.
Ability: Manipulation of light and sound to create illusions outside of one's mind. These illusions are only as realistic as their subject allows, either immersing them entirely, or being rejected almost immediately by the mind. There is no in-between.
Personality: Edmond isn't unlike an overexcited pee-wee baseball coach. Too eager for the tastes of most, intense when things aren't going as planned, and apologetic when his temper gets a little too hot for those around him. Of course, all these flaws only come from his fervor to help the students that come to him.
Bio: The beginnings of his life are lost to him. At some point in his later adolescence, Edmond met a Vessel. A man imbued with centuries of festering magic, burning for a new host to wield it. In the young man, the Vessel saw the potential to either wield his magic or be consumed by it fully. Either way, he would be free of the burden.
This is when his life began. Even then, his recollection of those years is faulty. All Edmond knows is that he spent the time running from the clumsy practice of his abilities, haunted by his nightmares while he was awake and hunted by the unwilling victims of the same terrors he left behind. In time, his control over the magic within him solidified, but it only left him wandering out of aimlessness instead of fear. He worked as an entertainer, a con-artist, until he found himself at the front steps of the Emberstone College, led by whispers of sanctuary.
Edmond was allowed to stay for several days, until his services were requested in the steadying of a student struggling to control their own powers. For them, Edmond created a world in which to run free and exhaust their abilities to their very limits. Finally, they reached their own potential, as well as a balancing peace. And Edmond found a home, as well as purpose.
Osteokinesis gives the user three distinct abilities.
v Control of their osteoblasts. (Cells responsible for producing bones)
v Control of their osteoclasts. (Cells responsible for breaking down bones)
v The ability to regulate their bones calcium density.
This ability allows Lloyd to grow new bones at any location in their body. The bones can be manipulated enough that they break through the users skin allowing for various offensive or defensive capabilities. The newly protruding bones may also be broken off to act as bludgeoning or piercing objects. Bones that have been removed from an outside force are unable to me manipulated or regrown.
He has limited the use of this ability to only certain parts of his body as it causes him immense pain and heavy scarring.
Notable Characteristics:
v Missing his right arm.
v What would normally be the whites of his eyes are blood red.
v His eyes are very brink pink.

v PTSD
Biography:
Lloyds life was rather unremarkable and uneventful for the first sixteen years. He had your typical family of four with two parents and one younger sister. He and his family were participating in their annual camping trip when his life suddenly became the stuff of nightmares. In the night, they were visited by a pair of hungry werewolves and before long, the father was nothing more than an appetizer. After their father was appropriately strewn about the field, the remaining family was dragged back to the wolves den. The mother became dinner and the younger sister was a small dessert that they made sure to take their time on. Lloyd remained as a small snack whose bones double as a toothpicks used to dislodge bits of his family from the captors teeth. Lets call it a miracle that his ability manifested itself when it did. I mean, how else would he have managed to kill them and then spend six years in a mental institution? Recently, he was discharged and offered a full ride to Emberstone Academy.
Personality:
The most important part of his personality is his ability to find humor in the cards that has been dealt to him. He prefers to fight back the pain and tears by throwing out jokes as often as he can. Having missed out on six years of his life, all he wants to do is experience everything good that life has to offer. On top of striving to gain as many friends as possible, he wants to make sure no one ever has to go through the hell he was forced into. His fear and hatred for the werewolves that took his family makes it hard to befriend the innocent ones. His PTSD manifest itself in various ways. It ranges from trembling and freezing up to blacking out and attacking.

About Quillon: The man is quite the character, some find him witty, lethargic, but a personality to be reckoned with once provoked. Others find him a coward, a complete nut with decisions, and too slow to actually work with. Quillon is both these things, he allegedly suffers from bipolar disorder.
He doesn't believe that diagnosis himself, however. Because of what happened to himself and the people around him. He hates being pressured, it makes him weak and indecisive. He is incapable of leadership, but he is an asset to be valued if you leave a good impression on him. He's quick to judge too however, and still carries teenage angst from 6 years ago.
His body is relatively fit, his eyes a dark green,; his hair is black and often can't decide on what it wants to be, sometimes you'd find it half messy and half organized to every last strand. He often colors himself with white and black garments, but he avoids bright colors and cheesy clothing designs. He personally hates makeup until you put it on, he also hates pop music.
Abilities:
Strings
This ability can only be used with an instrument with exposed strings. (Guitars, Violin Family, Harps, etc.) Quillon can strum/pluck a string and keep the vibrations sustained. Not particularly lethal when weak, but can really cause disruption in an arena. But it also makes him freeze in place while sustaining the note, he can't play more than one note. Sustaining it for too long also makes him start to bleed on both ears, but that can be improved upon.
Sweetheart
Quillon uses soft and intimate vocals to sing. The singing is so intimate, raw, and weak it can cause others to break down in tears if exposed for too long. But Quillon himself will suffer from this ability, he'll cry his own tears if he sings for too long, and will spend the next few days in misery. This ability can't be used if Quillon doesn't have his voice.
Gunshot
Can only be used with percussion instruments. (Drums, cymbals, and the like.) Quillon smashes the instrument and sustains the loudness to a degree where the vibrations are powerful enough to mimic explosions. This ability absolutely destroys the instrument struck with it and sometimes the vibrations can cause bludgeon Quillon himself, it can cause broken ribs, crushed organs, and shockwaves in general if he is or anyone is too close.

Quick History: Quillon was in a band during his high school years, and remained there up until college. He was the rhythm guitarist. One time, he had an argument with the lead guitarist about who should perform the solo to open the gig, the lead guitarist's fingers were in severe pain and infection already, he could barely play a riff. But he insisted. Quillon lost the argument and they went on stage. During the gig however, Quilon started doing the solo himself, the lead tried to stop him, but Quillon kicked him away and played ear rape level pitches and notes on him until the entire room was covered in their fanbase and the band itself. Quillon dropped down, in shock of what he was capable of, he ran.
He took a ukulele from their studio and ran. He kept going as fast as he could, through downtown, the gates. The forests, oh how he dreaded the forestlands. He kept running, but it wasn't running that led him into Emberstone, no. He was caught after authorities found him having a breakdown near the river, and after careful council, trial, and consideration. He was sent to Emberstone, granted he was monitored. However, bits and pieces of his memory remains unclear to even him. He knows about the incident, but the 5 years of therapy given to him lessened the post-mental problems. He doesn't remember his childhood, or how he came to play the instruments he knows now.

Bio: Althea's home has always been the forest; whether it be in the Salmon-Challis forest where the town of Emberstone can be found, or deep in a forgotten wood where her original tree once stood. Due to deforestation she and other dryads have often had to relocate to other forests, and the forest surrounding Emberstone is where her current tree is located. With the boom in supernatural creatures walking the earth openly, Althea decided to join the diverse society herself, as she was never satisfied staying isolated from the world. She works as a groundskeeper at Emberstone, often replacing the damage done to the training fields.
