Roleplay Online with RolePlayGateway

From hence forth, this shall be the OFFICIAL Character Thread for Nottori High School. And as such, this first post will stand with a full character list updated as necessary, along with any other relevant details that might be necessary. All future character profiles should go here and any and all edits [relating to the storyline] should be brought to my attention.

Edit: And for clarification's sake, because the question has been being asked: Having a power is NOT necessary. It's optional. Not everybody got the damn experimental RXA. XD

Name: Ayumu Wataya

Age: 27

Appearance: Ayumu is extremely meticulous when it comes to both his clothing and hygenic concerns. The black, well tailored suits he wears are constantly spotless and wrinkle-free. His shined black shoes are without a scuff or mark, and his alternating colored shirts and ties are always perfectly matched and perfectly fitting for the occassion. His face still retains most of its youth and is remarkably handsome, though not extraordinarily so. His medium-length black hair is always swept back, not a single strand out of place. His expressions are consistently well-timed and appropriate, measured and exact. In short, he never betrays anything more than what he wants observed.

Position and background: Serving as the private secretary to the government official in charge, not much is known about his past. He excelled in the university system and was hired directly out of college. He handles all issues directly with the high school administrations and keeps track of the official's affairs.

Book.

Real Name: Akihito Nori
Nickname: Book
Age: 17
School Status: Senior

Appearance: Rather lanky and lacking some of the normal build found in most Nottori students - a mutation caused by the fact that he was among those who received the experimental RXA - Book stands at a towering 5'8, and while not physically imposing enough to stand out among his class and students, he manages to find more than enough other ways to do so. An odd colored wash of black hair, including bangs, falls all over his head, a few strands always seen poking out unusually here or there, his distinguishing marks. Almost always seen in the standard attire of male students, he sports a slightly modified version of the 'standard dress code'. The pair of slacks and dress shirt are there as they should be, but the latter never has nor ever will be tucked in as the rules would like to state. But what sets apart that attire the most is the bright red bandanna tucked into his breast pocket which he so enthusiastically ties about his neck when he has effectively entered into 'hero mode'...

Personality: What is 'hero mode' you ask? Why, it's that often occurring moment in time when Book throws caution to the wind, adorns his rather manly scarf, and sets out to vanquish any and all signs of evil! And few other things describe the teen's personality even more. Obnoxiously brilliant and brilliantly obnoxious, whether it be a match of wits or a hand-to-hand throwdown, Book always comes prepared with his hand-written page of 'super heroic' lines to dish out in time to save the day..or at least that the way he'd prefer it to be. Words like loud, boisterous, attention-seeking, and freak tend to roll in the same sentences as his name more often than not.

Brief history: And speaking of that name, the question begs to be asked - how the hell did he get the nickname 'Book' in the first place? Alas though, that's a mystery not even the youth's parents can really attest to. A complete and utter enigma, really. Most of his upbringing was rather normal, growing up in Osaka with a housewife mother and his father just another bureaucrat working for the federal offices. He was never particularly outstanding at sports or academics during those years, although to this day everyone who knows him will swear he could've been. However, the reason for such poor performance then could probably be attributed to the fact that he went a few good years without even attending school at all, interested instead in playing the role of a furtive ninja or a swashbuckling pirate using their elite skills to save some poor damsel in distress somewhere. Ever since he discovered what it actually meant to be heroic, Book desired to save the day. There was no greater thrill than imagining himself surrounded by an entire pack of thugs while he guarded some young prince or princess. Unfortunately, whereas such games usually cease for children when they reach the teenage years, still today Book finds himself attempting to dash into any and all situations seeking valor. But digressions aside, after those early years, he was enrolled in Nottori High School soon after the place first opened up, his father pushing the most for it. And it was then that the major changes began. Unlike most of his fellow students, his physical attributes really didn't change too much. He didn't suddenly start bulking up, he didn't suddenly become untouchably fast. But..something else started happening. Some things started..changing. How it happened, the poor boy still doesn't know, but his mind began to just..know things. It began to know things without ever having seen or experienced them in any way before. Small minute facts, arbitrary calculations, ancient texts, it all suddenly just 'appeared' in his mind as time went on, to the point that he actually climbed the ladder and reached the rank of #1 overall at Nottori, and has he ever been an eccentric number one ever since. He took it upon himself in his junior year to establish the "Brilliant Aspiring Minds" club - also known as BAM - in an effort to unite the school's greatest thinkers under one roof for the greater good of humanity! In other words, BAM exists as Book's plaything for designing pranks and plots more complex and devious than few could fathom. But he considers BAM just a stepping point to his greater plot - creating a team of the entire world's greatest heroes!

Enchantments:

Basically these are what Book picked up from his RXA. And I won't give the details of any of them now. You just have to wait and see..

+Affliction
+Scorn
+Deviance
+Deliverance
+Expulsion
+Foreshadow
+Harbinger
+Revelation
+Promise
+Marionette

Note, one of the above spells more or less can ANNIHILATE THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE! O_O

Name: Eileen Lawrence
Age: 18
Role: Student
Year Level: 13
History: Eileen is an exchange student of sorts, having finished year 12 in her country (Australia) she decided to do a gap year/exchange and do year 13 (year 12 again) in Tokyo. She accepted the drug, thinking it just a normal vaccination (like they do back in Oz) and has since been feeling strange side effects like hallucinations, headaches, strange twitches and the urge to strangle the next boy who tries to touch her ass (but, then again, those may just be hormones...) So, while doing year 12 (kind of all over again), Eileen isn’t here to study her ass off, (like she did in Australia), but to have a good time and get along with everyone – maybe even have a bit of fun...
Appearance: Eileen is of a normal body build for an Australian, being slim, tall (and hot in a bikini). She generally towers over the shorter people at her school. Having exchanged from a private girls’ school, she maintains her uniform, slightly-above-the-knees green skirt, mid-calf white socks, black slip-on slipper-like shoes, a white blouse with red lining and a blue jumper. (She didn’t have to wear it, but it looked better than what the Japanese wore...) She wears her long blonde hair out, usually brushed and occasionally has a pair of sunnies holding it back on top of her head.
Personality: Eileen is a girl of a sunny nature, friendly and usually happy. She can, however, have black moods where she tends to disappear until they have passed. She has that strange sense of humour, (some call it quirky), that Aussies have, and can usually be heard laughing at one thing or another.

OOC: Let me know where you want the sample of previous roleplay... In a PM or something?

Name: Saitsu Saiwaiare.
Age: 16.
Birth date: 16/08.
Nickname: Sai, Sai-chan, Kisei.
Status: Kendo Club Vice Captain.
Race: Human.
Clan: Unknown.
Sex: Male.
Position: Uke??!?!.
Prey: Cute people.
Habits/Hobbies: Kendo, playing the cello, reading, running, baking, stuffed animals, being cute.
Dislikes: Mean people, people who run away from him, people who don’t think he’s cute, butterflies and vegetables.

Description: Saitsu at first glance looks too young to be in high school, only 5’4’’ in stature and still appearing to be no older than 12 at very most. Wearing the traditional male uniform he can still sometimes be mistaken for a girl, his black hair perpetually pulled back in a long high ponytail that drops to his waist, tied by a silver ribbon, fancying himself as somewhat of a samurai perhaps. Inquisitve emerald eyes gaze out from behind longer frontal bangs that often threaten to cut of his vision. In times of rest he is often found wandering around in his black kendo kimono and matching hakama. It’s very unusual to find him without some sort of bokken or stick in his hands, as though he was born with one and it has been melded to him ever since. In his other hand he has his cuddle duck, a toy he was given as a young boy by his uncle who was the first to inspire him to take up kendo despite being a very small and weak child.

Skills: Swordmanship, flower attack, super strength, violin charm.

Personality: Saitsu falls between two states ‘white Saitsu’ is an extremely cute and boisterous young man, who more often than not sends people running with his over-enthusiam, not seeming able to control his strength for the majority of time leading to a number of unfortunate incidents when other students had to be sent to the nurse with broken bones. In this state he is friendly to the point of clingy, always trying to help those in need and randomly popping up where he is least expected. When he is in ‘black Saitsu’ mode however his personality changes, referring to himself as “Ore-sama” and completely overwhelming anyone daft enough to be still around him when he is in this frame of mind. Both randomly violent and dominant he really doesn’t care what he says and shocks a great majority of people with the things that come out of his mouth. This is usually activated whilst he is practicing kendo, leading to him gaining the nickname “Kisei” or death, terrifying the majority of people who meet him on ‘the field of battle’.

History: Saitsu is the youngest of six boys, his family hailing from Kyoto where his father spent the majority of his life at work, a typical salaryman whilst his mother took care of the home and family. As a young child Saitsu was sickly and often left behind by his older brothers, who picked on him and dressed him up as a little girl for their own amusement. At the age of seven he was forced to move in with his uncle to try to improve his health by moving to the countryside. Looked after by the older man and his wife who had no children he flourished, taking up kendo on the kindly man’s advice, wanting to be able to keep up with his older brothers and their rough and tumble. At first he tried to be a serious child and excel at kendo, leaving his original personality behind. Unable to reconcile his serious and playful nature he slowly began to form his split personality, the two sides constantly attempting to override one another and become his one true nature. The gap between his personality was cracked open at 13 when his uncle sadly died and he was forced to return to his original home and enrolled to Nottori High. Each side became disassociated and more extreme, leaving him with two contrasting and bizarre personas, leading to the majority of people believing he was totally insane.. and perhaps he was.

OOC: This muse SCARES me. @_@

Name: Emily Malik Jones
Age: 17
Year: Senior
Appearance: Semi-curly brown hair usually pulled back by a headband and green eyes. Around 5'4 with tanned skin and a nice shaped figure (:D). Being as she's a new transfer student and wants to fit in, she's usually seen wearing the school uniform to a T.
Personality: Emily is a cheerie girl who can be a bit shy at times. She finds it hard making friends at this school because she's been dubbed the "new" kid or the "teacher's pet" yet this wont keep her down for long. Although she does at times miss the states, Emily is actually fascinated with this new city.
History: Emily comes for the US of A. She's been in the best schools all her life because of her father's "hotshot" job in the sciences. Doing what exactly, she's not too sure. All she knows is her parents relationship became strained and now they've devoiced. Her mother has taken off to travel (more like save, she's an environmentalist person) the world leaving Emily with a father she barely knows and a new city to explore. Her father has admitted her to the Nottori school and secretly given her the RXA pill in the NAME OF SCIENCE!! They've only been in Japan a week, and it's only been two days since she's had the pill and one day (today) since she's been in the school. Still no changes yet.
Abilities: X-ray vision, walking through solid things and invisibility. In the beginning it's her emotions that control her powers, becoming invisible at the wrong times or falling through things when she's embarrassed and so forth. But as she grows she'll be able to control them to some extent. Oh and of course her powers will come one at a time as the story progresses
Hobbies: She loves playing the piano and painting.

Name: William Jones (Most commonly referred to as Hawk)

Age: 28

Appearance: Long leather trenchcoat of black. Mohawk of a jet shade, adding just about a foot to his average 6 foot 3 inches tall figure. Tattoos covering most of his body, most obvious being the inverted pentagrams - one on each cheek. A slim figure, there isn't too much to him, mostly skin and bone. Eyeliner, eye shadow, subtle lipstick, all black. T-shirts of black, always bearing the insignia of some heavy, or death, metal band. Trousers of leather, tucked into whichever pair of New Rock boots he is wearing today (Reference is here).

Personality: Well, well, well. Lunacy, I think, covers Hawk pretty soundly. A complete nut job. Entirely obsessed with his guitar. Equally obsessed with heavy metal and death metal, favouring classic stuff, like Iron Maiden, and all in that era. Crazy, really.

History: A musical fanatic, he had studied music or some other useless course at Oxford University. Coming to Japan to teach music, he found himself at the Nottori High School about 18 months ago. It was there that he learned of some trippy plan, involving a few modified tablets. He had been at the place for about eight months, and finally found a few of these pills. He took not just one, but two, of them, guessing they were just some weird Japanese version of Ecstasy, rather than some weird enhancing medicine. Well, they didn't do much for him, not even an iota of hallucination. Most disappointing. But to his disbelief, what had always been a rather mediocre skill in guitar became something entirely different. He could slash it like the legends, and with no effort. This, of course, came in the months following. Now, he has the skill of a Kirk Hammett/Slash hybrid, on steriods. Now, he is beginning to realise that there is more to his guitar skills, and, for some reason, he can play the thing with his mind, making the strings move just by thinking about it.

Name: Makito Riki.
Age: 17
Nickname: Makiriki, Maki
Sex: Male
Habits/Hobbies: Painting, guitar, singing, cross country, swimming, reading.
Dislikes: Girls (lol), puns, too much attention, school uniforms, science.
Description: 5'11, a bit lanky, with slight muscles from swimming and cross country. Platinum blonde hair to just below his ears, always shaggy/messy and emerald green eyes. His good looks cause girls to often flirt with him, or even be so bold as to ask him out. He, however, never accepts the invitations, since he has no interest in females. He's created a reputation for himself as being "the guy who says no to every girl".
Skills: Telekinesis, Empathy (can feel other's emotions when in the vicinity), superspeed, photographic memory (to the point of being able to remember the most minute details).
Personality: He's a bit quiet, not known for being too extroverted, but is always nice. He hates confrontation, and wishes he didn't get asked out by girls because he hates rejecting them. He worries a lot about other people, always putting others before himself. He enjoys being alone, but wishes he had more close friends (it's never fun to be alone all the time, right?)
History: An only child, he was expected to meet all expectations of his parents. They wished the best life for him, and straight A's all the time. Fortunately, he's smart enough to get them, but he hates studying and was thankful when he began going to Nottori, to get away from his parents. He's new to the school, but since arriving has become wellknown for his good looks. He doesn't find himself attractive at all, suffering from low self esteem.

((OOC: So, the writing sample, do we post it here?))

Name: Akiro Machin Akinora
Age: 17
Year: Junior
Nickname: Aki

Appearance: A cloak, similar to the trenchcoats often seen in the U.S., made of midnight black with traces of silver barely hinted at. Long brown hair pulled into a ponytail bound with a golden bloodstained band holding the ponytail together. Slightly muscular, and able to use weapons to some extent. Oftentimes, when someone looks into his eyes, his silver-blue eyes looks like as if they glow with a life of their own, giving him an occasionally eerie look when seen in the darkness.

His face is severe, yet at the same time can be seen as handsome, perhaps handsome enough for girls to flirt with him, but for the most part, he ignores the girls, unless they somehow get his attention.

Skills: Ability to twist chance to his advantage, telepathy, and a very minor ability in pyrotechnics. Eventually he will develop DreamWalking, and the ability to pull anyone into the World of Dreams and interact in it much like one would in the real world.

History: An exchange student from the good ol' country of U.S. of A, he was invited to come to Japan and study there and learn more about how robotic technology works. A chance encounter with some of the scientists from the conferences so often held for those who research the technology that makes up the robot themselves. He was given a drug as he came in, for inoculation against common diseases found in Japan.

Thinking nothing of this, he got the shot of RXA from this, unfortunately due to his scores in school. While he excelled in anything to do with technology, he failed somewhat in anything that involved physical training, mainly because he preferred to think over things, despite being fit. Oddly enough, in his personal space, such as a room or elsewhere, completely alone, he trains.

Teachers of previous schools have noticed this, and commented. His answers infuriated them and left them with no clue as to how he trained, seeing that whenever he deigned to wear a skin tight shirt and short as commonly required in his previous schools, they would notice his body's condition.

Personality: Quiet, often seen listening and rarely if ever, speaking. Often seen making hand gestures to himself, others that know the language would recognize it. (American Sign Language.) And still yet others have yet to get the courage up to ask what exactly, was he doing with his hands when making said gestures.

Name: Akendo Sacanawa
Age: 16
Year: Freshman
Nickname: None as of now

Appearance: Akendo can be found wearing some type of button up shirt year round. He always wears them untucked with the sleeves rolled past his elbows. His hair dep brown and always clean cut, he likes to spike his bangs up with some gel. Always he wears carhartts, and a leather jacket when it is chilly. His eyes are deep green, and his complexion is light with a sprinkling of freckles.

History: Akendo was born in america, his mother was japanese and his father American. When he was thirteen his father's job, Oil Rig Supervisor, forced his family to move to Japan so his father could be closer to his work. Akendo was sent to a local public school where he learned Japanese, he is now a freshman at Nottori. When he was enrolling at Nottori he was informed by the school nurse, that he had not recieved a couple of his required shots. Not aware that the school had illegaly changed his health records he went to the doctor where he was given several doses of what he thought was menengitis shots, but was actually RXA. He has yet to learn of the powers it will give him.

Personality: Akendo is usually a even tempered, sociable, nice guy. However he has heard many a horrow story of highschool and is quite scared of what might happen. He is slightly withdrawn and shy as of now until he finds a group he can fit into.

Name: Aurora Cho
Age: 17
Grade: JR
Nickname: Too many to list


Appearance: Aurora was lucky enough to gain her mother’s movie star looks. She has a slender, yet very shapely frame and stands at 5 ft 7. Her muscles are toned from training though they aren’t bulky. She has wavy, long, light purple hair that stops right above her waist. Her hair is styled in long layers with longer bangs in front that shape her angular face and sometimes hang in her sparkling pale blue eyes. Her skin is moderately tanned, a little darker than fair. Her very shapely frame of course includes very large happy breasts, and a very nice well defined bum.

Aurora doesn’t have a usual outfit she wears since she has a ton of clothes and typically always wears something different.

Bio: Aurora was born into a life with out financial worry. Her mother is a famous movie actress world wide, and her father is the owner of one of the biggest computer companies in Japan. Her family is currently the fourth wealthiest in the world. And they are one of the most famous families as well. Currently Aurora is not only a student, but also does modelling as well making her even more rich and famous.

Though Aurora’s parents have a strong bond for each other and a very passionate love affair (though it can turn violent), they have little room in their hearts for their child. Its not that they hate her, its just they don’t have the time and are into themselves. In reality Aurora was more a publicity stunt to them and was most openly cared about when she was in the womb. Instead her parents show her affection the only way they know how by giving her anything her heart desires. Aurora is very into fashion and almost never wears the same outfit twice.

None of this seems to bother the girl as much as it should since her priorities are a little messed up. Currently she is the most popular girl in school not only for her wealth, but her looks and yes even her personality.

Powers: Aurora was given on of the experimental drugs. She hasn’t found all of her powers yet besides the normal enhancements it gives save for two things. First, she heals rapidly or regenerates. Secondly the girl has noticed that she can usually easily sway people though she doesn’t, as far as she knows, have the ability to mind control. But other people find her to be very charming, gorgeous, yet at the same time when she is upset she can bring a person to her knees. Also many times she is fought over as a model because if she is seen on a bill board wearing a certain pair of jeans the company notices their sales in that project go up. Pretty much she has Super Charisma, though it doesn’t work on everyone sense beauty is in the eye of the beholder. No one can deny that Aurora is exceptionally beautiful though.

NOTE: Alright, so I type this up quickly jut to get into the rp. It’s not completely finished I don’t think and I need to proof read when I am more awake (4 am). Anything that needs to be edited I will do Just let me know. And yes I am redoing a character from another rp into this one. And I don't mean to be, "Lyke OMFG! My CHARACTER is the most TOTaLLY beautifist in the universe! Just playing off the A typical rich girl, gorg type that another charcter I had can easily be changed into.

Name: Ryo Riazaku
Age: 18
Sex: Male
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 155lbs

Hobbies: Martial Arts and any form of training.

Appearance: When not wearing required school attire, he is often seen wearing a skin-tight white sleeveless shirt with a green unzipped flak jacket, representing his family's mercenary heritage. Although rather tall, he is also rather skinny, resulting in a slightly lanky appearance. His short blonde hair is often spiked up with wax (or atleast when he decides to not let his laziness get the better part of him). He has blue eyes, which are riddled with wires of light blue zigg-zagging around the iris.

Personality: Feeling as though he was born into the entirely wrong era, he does his best to make due with what he's got: thusly his would-be mercenary career. Despite the high-tech world around him, he prefers to use traditional weapons, such as swords and staves (having become proficient in both). He has trouble conforming to society, finding people to be too shallow, self-centered, dishonest, and prideless. Although somewhat boisterous and out-spoken when with his tight-knit friends, he is very humble (and perhaps even slightly introverted) around strangers, never viewing himself as superior to his peers (even if he far surpasses them).

Due to some unfortunate events, he became a bit of an apathetic. Prior to that, he was a very happy-go-lucky kind of guy and enjoyed the company of others, however. Perhaps hand-in-hand with his apathy, he's developed a bit of elitist view on most things.

As far as actual socializing goes, he tends to keep to himself unless forced to from an assignment (in which case he tends to take charge, due to his slightly elitistic 'if you want something done right, do it yourself' views), and only takes company in those who are very open-minded and enjoy intelligent conversations. He also rarely accepts the word of others, choosing instead to go out and find out things for himself.

Note: Making characters isn't my forté. I usually just grab a name and roll with it.. So pardon me if this isn't that great.. I just skimmed over a couple of other people's to get an idea of what was expected and then threw something together. Oh. And I didn't list any powers.. Haven't thought of anything yet.. I'll add it whenever I think of something ._.;

Name: Fujikawa Kanaye
Grade: Senior
Age: 18
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 170
Nickname: None as of now
Clubs: Captain of the Kendo club


Appearance: Kanaye's posture and movement all mimic those of samurai from the bloody, feudal times of Japan. His hair is held up in the traditional high ponytail and his face is nearly a mirror to those hardened warriors of years past. His facial features were just the same, his brow growing bushier as it goes out, however, it isn't an unattractive feature in that it doesn't take away from his looks but rather gives them a distinctive and predatory semblance. However, despite all of his feral traits, his uniform and demeanor are among the most calm and quiet in all the school. It could be said that his appearance is carved in stone for it's consistency. Kanaye's body is well-formed; muscular, yet compact, again echoing his overall appearance; his body type is entirely perfect for a swordsman.


Personality: Manipulative, cold, calculating, condescending, negative, ambitious, zealous, and extremely easy to annoy. As such, he simply abhors Book or as he calls him, Nori. It may not seem strange to call him Nori but he's the only one who does, not even the staff refer to him by his given name. It's always Book. This spawns not only from personality clashes but also academic rivalry as Book is the only person in the school who ranks above him.


Abilities: All of his abilites spawn from the early version of the serum, the same that Book recieved. However, his speed and strength were both enhanced unlike his rival. But...In exchange for this he lacks telekinesis entirely, not even the mental strength to make a pencil twitch. The special strain of the "vaccine", however, is more erratic and unpredictable in the abilities it causes to manifest. In Kanaye's case his speed was enhanced beyond the norm even for the serum. His strength, however, was increased the normal amount, entirely average for Nottori High. Now comes his unique ability. Astral projection. It's used in a variety of ways, most of which can't even be identified due to the fact that the victim of his technique often doesn't even know it. In fact, despite having no telekinesis he often seems to be psychic, this isn't true, nonetheless. The truth is simply that his astral projection grants him the ability to "implant" a thought in a person's head, the strength of their mind determining how they react to it. Those who are weak of mind will undoubtably proceed with whatever random idea or goal he plants in their psyche. The effect is, naturally, the opposite with those of iron will, often feeling nothing more than a slight urge or inkling of a passing thought. The only use that proceeds it is the illusionary effect he employs while wielding his bokken or shinai. Some have said that it's not really his incredible speed that wins him his fights, but the seemingly impossible movements he pulls off. One moment he'll be flipping mid-air before the foe. The next he'll be behind them with his blade thrusting into their back. All his use of astral projection. An illusionary affect that actually hides his movements for up to 5 seconds while in the heat of battle. He's not limited to creating false images of himself, anything his mind can imagine he can impose on his foe's view. The full limits of his prowess have yet to be explored, what can be done with such a talent is yet unknown.
