Description

CHARACTER SHEET:

Image





Name: Leah Edwards

Nickname: Leah, Lee

Age: (15-16)

Sign: Aquarius

Gender: Female

Height: 5'5

Weight: 9 st 2

Oddities: Wears headphones everywhere and at all times of the day, even sleeps in them and drinks coffee like it's going out of fashion.


Zodiac Abilities:
Hearing other people's thoughts
This is a totally new thing that Leah doesn't even realize is an ability yet. She's been hearing these funny buzzing sounds, not quite words but she feels like she could understand them if she tried. They are always there like static giving her a headache so she wears her headphones to soften the sound or blot it out completely when listening to music. This will eventually develop into being able to read peoples minds.

Influencing people's opinions
Leah has always had a way with people and she gets along with almost everyone, they sort of gravitate to her. She also has strong opinions and beliefs that not everyone agrees with. However people seem to start agreeing with her recently for no reason. She just thinks that she's been putting out a strong debate for her cause...This wont work on everyone however as the stronger a persons will is the less likely her influence will affect them.


Coercive Persuasion
Or mind control. Whichever way you slice it Leah has abilities that stop people from being able to think, move and feel on their own. This is down to her astrological sign. Aquarius are smart, geniuses to almost the point of insanity. They like to get their own way and feel very strongly about things. As a result of this Leah's mind has developed to a point where it can affect others. However, using your mind as a weapon per say is dangerous. The longer Leah uses her ability the more likely it is that she will have permanent mental damage. Also, people with a strong will are less affected.

Zodiac Level: 0

Nationality: British (English)

Sexuality: Straight

Romantic Interest: N/A

Allies/Friends:

Enemies:

Personality:
Leah is very intelligent, where some people have to study for hours she can ace tests without even having to try and doesn't quite understand what all the fuss is about with studying. She reads books of course and takes notes in class but it all just seems to stick the first time with minimal effort. But this doesn't mean she's lazy, she loves doing things. Doesn't have to be a specific thing but being stuck inside gives Leah a bad case of cabin fever which can end up getting on others nerves. She loves drawing and her room is often plastered with pages of various images that she drew or painted herself even though these images hardly ever make sense. When she's feeling down or lost you can find Leah in the water, swimming pools, the ocean if it's close and fountains if there's no other water source around. She drinks coffee constantly and is often hyper because of it and is prone to random outbursts of pointlessness. You will never see her without her headphones and coffee cup. Leah is really friendly and is able to get along with everyone. She has a big group of friends that she enjoys being around but sometimes she just needs downtime. Recently she's been separating herself from people more and more to stop the sounds in her head.

Fears:

Bio:
Leah grew up with her mother, father and two elder brothers in England. They had a happy home but it was pretty pushy. Her parents are both over achievers who have come from middle class family backgrounds. They expect their children to do better than them as they were given a better start and are always pushing them to be better and compete against each other. Although she was the youngest Leah was the only girl so carried the weight of her mothers expectations. She was made to attend swimming, dance and singing classes, study until the small hours of the morning and get nothing less than A's in her tests. This pressure was the same for all three children. They were reward with materialistic things for success and punished harshly for failing. There was never any love or praise from their parents. Leah learnt to rely on herself because of this and sometimes struggles romantically but never with friendships. She gathers people to her because their praise makes her feel more worthwhile. Her parents were told all three of their children had the Zodiac gene but when it only began to manifest in one they punished her brothers. Leah's brothers are jealous and will do everything they can to bring her achievements down.

Other:
The mad drinking coffee came from the late night study sessions her mum made her do.

Family:
Mother: Emily Edwards: Business woman and entrepreneur.
Father: Jonathan Edwards: CEO of a company, sports personality and chair of the local rugby club.
Elder Brother: Simon Edwards: Rugby star and Oxford Univeristy rowing captain
Elder Brother: Nathan Edwards: Full A* A Levels, waiting to be accepted into Oxford to follow in his brothers footsteps.

The front courtyard was busy with crowds of girls and boys, running about with duffel bags, suitcases, and backpacks. It was the start of the year; returning students were eager to reunite with friends under the warm sun, and first years wanted to make good impressions with their new class. None were clad in uniforms yet- colors and fabrics swirled as excited girls squealed and clasped each other, and at least one or two boys flipped colored hair as they exchanged high-fives.
Despite the commotion outside, the students were making good time into the school. Seraphic Academy of Zodiac Magic was a large piece of land, located 20 miles from the middle of nowhere. The building itself was all red brick and large windows, with a double staircase leading up to the main entrance. Between the grand stairs was an open gate, leading into the inner patio. Though this was also a means of getting into the school, (directly accessing the classrooms,) older students stood at the foot of the stairs, ushering the kids up them and discouraging entrance to the patio.
Once inside, the students found themselves in the entrance hall, or commons. It’s all high ceilings and benches, and could be fairly comfortable for students to hang out in if they so wish. The main offices were directly to the right of the main doors; straight ahead was the auditorium. The auditorium was one of the biggest rooms in the school, nearly matching the gym. The seats aren’t permanent; rather, they’re long benches, almost akin to pews, that were currently being filled with students. Most held their bags with them, though some upperclassmen deposited them in the corner, knowing they would be safe.

All of this, Mira Hampton watched with a keen eye from her seat on the auditoriums stage. She didn’t need to be present in any of these locations to supervise clearly; her Zodiac gifted her with sight. Through her parasight power, it was easy to switch between any of her upperclassmen’s eyes. Of course, they had given their permission. Being prefects of sort, they were her primary means of keeping an eye on everything at the academy- literally.

Mira, the headmistress, gave everyone time to make their way to the auditorium and settle down before standing. She was glad everyone was getting along- the school had never had to much drama or physical altercations, and she hoped to keep it that way. Still, as much as she loved to see the socializing, they all needed to quiet down.
She stepped up to the microphone, tapping on it to get everyone’s attention. Luckily, they all quieted.

“Good morning,” She began, smiling kindly as her voice rang throughout the room. “I’d like to say a few words before we officially begin the school year. Foremost, welcome back to our returning students-“
Mira was forced to break off as a few boys began ‘whooping,’ chanting something about the fourth years. Others joined in until there was a full out round of applause for the upperclassmen. She rolled her eyes, but waved down their noise good-naturedly until they stopped.
“Yes, we do have a bit of enthusiastic upperclassmen, and I’m just as glad to see all of your smiling faces here as the rest of you. But, we can’t forget to welcome our first years, our fresh Zodiacs, here to learn and prosper- let’s show them a kind hello!”

As the thundering applause took over, Mira joined this time. The older kids had always been accepting of the first years. There was absolutely no hazing permitted on her school grounds, and rivalry between years was prohibited with the exception of sports. Still, it always amazed her how the fourth and third years could welcome the younger kids with open arms. When she had been young, there was always a senior superiority complex at her Zodiac school- not having that had been a goal and she was glad to have accomplished it.

When the applause verged on a full minute, Mira waved her hands to quiet everyone down.

“Thank you everyone, and thank you first years for taking the first step the better understanding your Zodiac. This school is dedicated to helping you as an individual, rather than as a member of your class- never forget that you are special, and you deserve individual attention! You have a real opportunity to join in here, and be a part of something great. Of course, dedication to studies is expected, but joining sports, clubs, or electives is encouraged! Here, you will gain the confidence to be risk takers and face the challenges of modern living, whether you aim for the Earth Plane or the Celestial Hierarchy
.”

Mira continued with her short beginning of year speech- these portions never varied much from year to year. Encouraging the new students to get involved, and the old students who weren’t already to give it a shot. It only took a few minutes or so to make her points, and then she moved along to what everyone was really curious about.

“As is customary to my beginning of year speeches, I’ll be taking the time to introduce our new and noteworthy teachers this year. This isn’t nearly all of our staff- a few are loitering around by all of you, and some are still preparing for tomorrow. However, I’ll still be doing what introductions I can for the new staff.” She gestured the male sitting to her left, who stood. His frame was slim and his face pronounced; shaggy blonde hair fell unkemptly over the glasses perched on his nose. He looked either uninterested, or about to pass out.

“You all probably know Deputy Head Junko-“ Some girls in the audience broke into shrill yells of adoration, half jokingly, and Kaine Junko’s expression immediately changed, lighting up as he bowed and laughed, before sitting again. Mira calmed the girls down, wishing he wouldn’t encourage their admiration.

“Next, we have a new Nurse- Madame Humingbird, who I expect you to welcome with open arms. Heaven knows you kids spend enough time in the infirmary, so be sure to say hello when you end up there.”

The headmistress ran through the few others sitting on stage, then added on a side note that a science teacher was off on a research trip currently and would return the end of the week.

“Finally, I would like you all to pay attention please, and then I’ll get out of your hair. Boundaries this year have contracted slightly. The swimming hole out in the forest is now about the end of the grounds. Of course, the shields are up, so don’t expect to be able to pass the area anyway, but now you can avoid unpleasant surprises. If you need to travel off campus, please seek approval in the front office. Aside from college and business trips, fieldwork will be limited this semester. If caught loitering on the boarders or trying to break them, severe punishment will ensue.
“Lastly, be sure to stop by the designated tables in the commons for room and schedule arrangements. There are signs over the tables and prefects will be willing to direct you to dorms, so do try not to cause too much chaos. Belongings have been predelivered to your rooms, but don’t forget any carry-ons you brought into this assembly. Core classes start tomorrow; electives and extra power classes must be registered for by the end of next week. Dress code is in effect on weekdays as of tomorrow.”
Mira paused, glancing over the student body. The assembly hadn’t taken more than 30 minutes, so none were fidgeting and most had paid attention. Good. She sighed, hoping she hadn’t forgotten anything.

“I do believe that’s all- I hope you take advantage of today to take a look around the school rather than spend hours decorating. Please listen for announcements. With that, I bid you all a good year! Hopefully I’ll be seeing some of you in my classes!”

With that, the students were dismissed to go find out their dorm rooms and schedules, and Mira sat back down with a sigh. She hoped this year would be uneventful, despite the recent problems popping up on the Earth Plane. Hopefully, here would be safe.

#, as written by Seirei
Seated at the very back, uncomfortably close to someone smelling of tobacco, Anna left the auditorium the instant the last word fell from the headmistress’ lips. Ahead of the crowd, she passed through the hall into the fresh air outside. Anna wasn’t the only one to make a swift escape – a brown-haired girl practically ran past her, looking almost nauseated. Anna followed her down the stairs, mostly to avoid the oncoming flood of students.

In the academy’s courtyard, Anna stood aside for a while, observing. Most of the students hung around, but a large mass had detached themselves to head towards the dorms. Anna deigned the crowd precisely 0.77 seconds of her attention before turning the other way – in part because ugh, people, in part because the downwind breeze carried an intriguing scent of forest. Exploration was her foremost priority whenever she moved someplace new, and anywhere was a good place to start.

As Anna followed a path around the main school building, her mood brightened. The sun, fresh air, and something to do. Anthesteria Maniatis thought of herself as a girl of simple needs, and she had certainly lived in worse places, ceremonial speeches notwithstanding. Her current path would lend itself well to morning runs, and she was sure a school of Seraphic’s renown would have a proper track field and pool somewhere. If there was anything that bothered her, it was the boundaries, the shield she thought she could see shimmering in the distance. A cage by any other word feels just as constricting.

Anna pulled a face as she remembered how her parents had forcibly sent her here. It’s not like she had particularly not wanted to enroll, but the idea of a Zodiac school remained a bit absurd. Some abilities had to be worthless – case in point, her own. Anna concentrated for a second, and as inexplicably intuitive as moving an arm, summoned a pair of goldfish, one white, one black. The constructs simply floated in the air, staring at her. Anna stared back expectantly, but any intellect in those dull eyes was her own, reflected. Exactly what merit could spawning these ever have? Her parents hadn’t even allowed her to fry them. And yet, just for being born into a body lucky enough to manifest this useless ability, she was eligible to attend this place, and maybe graduate and enter the Celestial Hierarchy. Even if she dropped out, having attended Seraphic Academy would look great on a future resume.

“Oh well,” Anna shrugged, continuing her path. At the end of the day, she wasn’t one to complain about a broken system that worked in her favor.

Darren sat in his assigned chair, his back rigid straight and his hands placed neatly on his lap. Underneath his hands was a pamphlet, a piece of paper and his bag, the only things he had retrieved from his suitcase when he had arrived at the school. His luggage was safely tucked under his bed back in the dorm room he had already visited, faster and earlier than nearly all the students that now surrounded him in the large auditorium. There was a din of excitement and anticipation that surged throughout the crowd, though the Headmistress was able to silence them when needs be- but it was still rather loud. Especially since Darren sat beside a group of giggling girls, their eyes roaming the crowds around them- stopping on a few- as if predators searching for a new piece of meat. But their giggles suddenly stopped the moment they saw Darren as he squirmed uncomfortably under their gaze, trying to hide his left cheek with his shaggy, long hair. It didn’t work. Immediately, the giggles turned into whispers as the girls constantly glanced at him, looks of amusement on their faces as they regarded Darren as if he were nothing but a dead butterfly they had found in a playground. He sighed as he returned his focus to the headmistress, trying to force on a nonchalant look on his face. People are the same everywhere they are, huh. Darren thought dully as he stared lifelessly at the podium. Ever since other students had started to fill in the school, Darren had been pointed at, whispered at, and actually called out due to the large scar that covered nearly half of his face. But Darren was used to it; the reactions here were no different from those at home.

But at least this place seems better than it was back home. Contrary to most of the students that sat in the large auditorium, Darren had personally signed up to enter the academy. When his powers had awakened, when he had received the acceptance letter, Darren worked in enough part-time jobs so he could travel and land himself a seat in Seraphic Academy of Zodiac Magic. He had craved to escape the clutches of his clinically depressed mother and his heroin addicted sister- and he had jumped the first train he could get onto. I hope they’ll be fine
 It was obvious that the two would not be fine. Darren had been the one doing the chores for the past few years; he had been the one working while studying, at least trying to make sure that the bills were paid. But it hadn’t meant anything to his mother and sister. When he had left the house, telling them the reason for his leave only when he had already stepped out of the small dingy house that they lived in, his mother and sister had shot him eyes of utter hatred- and the door had been slammed in his face. I don’t think I’ll be going home for holidays. Darren sighed as the Headmistress finally finished her speech and the students that sat in the rows were finally free to go.

Contrary to the beckoning of the headmistress, many of the students stood up and immediately turned around to talk to the other students that now surrounded them. New year, new students- I suppose this means new friends. Darren turned to his right, opposite to the direction the gaggle of girls from earlier, and looked at a new student- a girl- whom sat right beside him. A taken aback look flashed on Darren’s face, as he had not sensed the girl throughout the opening ceremony. It was almost as if she were a surprise gift- but the look on her face said otherwise. It’s too late. I’ve already turned- might as well say hi. We’re going to have classes with one another anyways, right? Darren coughed once before putting on a beaming smile, looking at the girl as he raised his hand to shake hers. “It’s nice to meet you! My name is Darren Boreaux, a Leo Zodiac
you are?” Keeping his smile in place, Darren surveyed the girl’s expression and made sure to not move. She looks like a ticking bomb. Darren did not want to set a fuse off on the first day, even if he did control fire and explosions.
