A Immortal Rebellion: The Academy [OOC] [sign-ups]

[QUEENIE]

History​

Long ago on the Island of Kelonas, stood two ancient kingdoms. Mordor, the kingdom to the north and Gallia to the south. The kingdoms were home to many supernatural beings, from witch and vampires to giants and demi-gods, the kingdoms were home to all. But there was always one that stood against, the Shadow Demons. They were native to the Shadow Realm, a dark and immoral wasteland full of dark monsters. When the Shadow creatures attack, Mordor, the kingdom was lost and over ran by Shadow Demons. For years Gallia fought to reclaim Mordor for good, but never seemed to quite reach success. One night during a celebration for the wedding for Prince Elliot and Princess Nina, the Shadows emerged from nowhere killing many, along with the Royal family. Both lands where lost to the darkness, and both seemed like there was no hope for the now enslaved citizens. It took years, for someone to have the courage to speak against them, and they too were killed. Outraged a hand full of villagers, planned a Rebellion. Notifying others, the word spread, and so did the will to fight. The start of the Rebellion was of the darkest days in Kelonas history many lost their lives and others lost love ones. Those who were able to escape, ventured to a far off Island named I'ole. Together they built a new empire, one of old traditions from Kelonas, and one of new from the human world. Once strong enough, they returned to the Island of Kelonas to fight once more, and since then it has been a long going war to win back what is rightfully theirs. Now, fighters are being trained in high school to use their powers to protect those of Mordor and Gallia, and destroy those of the shadow realm. One Academy that has exhaled at produced some of the finest super soldiers the supernatural world has seen, but few actually graduate, is Gray's Academy. The program is tough and dangerous, as they do go into Gallia to get field practice. Those who do complete their high school education here, go on to playing significant roles in the immortal rebellion.

~Name~
Infinity Layla-Marie Love Pierce

~Sexuality~
Pansexual

~Species~
Weretiger

~Birthday~
October 31st​

~Personality~
Infinity is very shy but she doesn't let that stop her from doing what she loves and meeting new people. She's very introvert when she first meets someone, but when she warms up to someone she gets easier to be around and is kind of crazy. She has always been one to finish what she starts and get done what she needs to so she can do what she wants. Infinity is a very determined girl and has been for a while. She cares about a lot of things, especially animals and the people she loves and she's very stubborn. She is perceived as very confident, while in reality she is rather insecure about herself. Her favorite things to do in her spare time is listen to music, play guitar and write.

~History~
Infinity came from a very crazy family with two sisters, a step-sister and a biological sister, one mom named Katherine and three dads named Joseph, Matthew and Ron. (Joseph and Matthew are homosexual). Her biological father, Matthew, married her mother at a young age to appease his family who did not know about his sexuality. He and her mother Katherine divorced after Infinity and her younger sister were born. AJ came out to her parents at the age of 13 and was often teased at school for liking girls. At a young age, she was molested and raped by her uncle, leading to her trust issues and cautiousness around men. During her second semester of 8th grade, she was admitted into the hospitals psychiatric center for attempting suicide. Considering that she was in an abusive relationship for a year and a half, she feels like she is incapable of being loved and feels like it was her fault that her ex-girlfriend abused her.

~Appearance~

Infinity is around 130-145 pounds in weight. She is kinda pale and has white hair that goes to the middle of her back. She has a tattoo of a bird on her left wrist and a tattoo of that says dreamer on her right. She also has a Ghost Town tattoo on her back.

[BCOLOR=transparent][/BCOLOR]
|Name|
Alex Cross
|Species|
Shape Shifter- Panther
|Age|
17
|Gender|
Female
|Birth-date|
November 15th
|Sexuality|
Demisexual
|Personality|
Axel is usually more distant than anything, but those who know her best know she is not all cold and distant. For someone of
her type, she has a relatively big heart and is very accepting of those who wish to get close enough to her core.
She is wildly protective of the people and things she holds dearest, one of which being her yin and
yang necklace that has been with her since she was born. Unfortunately, she has a bit of a
temper, and if she looses it, she more often than not, shifts beyond her will.
But underneath all that, is a kind hearted, yet sadly broken
big cat that just wants to be accepted.

However, the beast is something totally different. The beast has little or no control over what it does, all of its
power and mood being driven by its senses. It is on a attack first, think second basis, is highly
territorial, and lethal. There is this one issue with shifting, sometimes, her clothes
don't come with her, so she often ends up somewhere in a forest,
bloody and in the nude.
|History|
Alex was born into a home in the woods, a small family. Her mother was a shifter just like her, so was her brother,
and her father, and her entire family. The only problem with that was staying concealed. There was a town
nearby where she went to school with her. She was a great student, until one day a boy stole her
crayon. That was the first time she showed that she attacked someone. They played it off
as just long fingernails and she was kept under guard for a while, but things
didn't get better at all.

As soon as she was in middle school, she became reserved, cutting herself off in an attempt to not hurt anyone else.
Well, people started to tease her about it, and one day, while they where cornering her, going to beat her
up, she snapped. That was the first time she fully transformed, morphing into a gigantic panther
and swiftly killing three students, and scaring the other two into anxiety. She couldn't
remember anything, but she was naked, stuck in a bush, and her hands and arms where
covered in blood. Since then, she was sent to Greys Academy, to study
where she couldn't hurt any more innocent humans.
|Appearance|
[BCOLOR=transparent][/BCOLOR]
Alex stands 5'8", and she has short cut brown hair. To go with her chopped hair, which barely reaches her ear, she has thin eyebrows
and soft lips to compare. She has a light skin tone, and jutted features, a great bone structure. Yet her body is equipped with
heavy muscle, but that is not what draws the attention of most. What draws attention is her eyes, which are
a vibrant hazel with flicks of gold that seem to shift in the light

She also has a few tattoo's on her body, one being a tribal marking on her upper back, one on her side, and two on each arm that are identical.
She also has two piercings in each ear and one in her belly button.

And last but not least is her other form. Her other form is that of a panther, who has jet black fur. She weighs about 160 pounds and
is around 6 feet long not including her tail. Her eyes are exactly the same color, and she has no visible printed markings.
The beast usually has a deep colored ribbon with a yin and yang on it.

[BCOLOR=transparent][/BCOLOR]
|Name|
Kirashka Na'via
Goes by Geo on earth
|Species|
Lorian Subject- Controller of sound
|Age|
Unknown, but has been on earth for about 10 years
|Gender|
Female
|Birth-date|
Unknown, but she celebrates her landing, on the 5th of October
|Personality|
Geo is bubbly and kind. She doesn't like confrontation, or hurting others, but if you come in line with hurting her family, she can get very protective.
But besides that, she is mostly a bubbly girl, but can be a bit of an air head. She also is a huge party animal, which
can either be really great or really bad. Since she is an alien, she often doesn't understand the earth lingo,
though she is getting much better about it. But sometimes she is seen drawing strange things or
daydreaming, it's because she misses home, and by the extensive drawings that
she hangs up, and the blue and silver necklace that she wears all
the time.
|History|
Geo was born on a distant planet, called Kishuru. On that planet, each person was given an element when they where 15 moons old. Geo was
a rare type of citizen. She grew up in a regular home, but at her element ceremony, she was given the element of sound, which was often sought after.
Only one person each 100,000 moons could receive this power, and it was extremely rare. They wanted to study her immediately after she was chosen,
but her parents refused to give her up. However, on her first night, someone busted the window of her house, snuck in and took her away.
She never saw her families faces again. She was locked in a small cage, hanging from the ceiling, only to watch the scientists
all day long as poked and prodded and tested on. She was miserable, until once scientist started
helping her escape. From there, she was able to break out of the lab, running away as far as
possible. She caught the next ship that got within reaching distance of earth, and she landed
on a planet that was primarily using transport devices. She had someone teleport
her to earth, and she was sent to Greys Academy by the family that found her,
fearing that the girl would unleash destruction in all the
wrong places.
|Appearance|
Geo stands around 5 foot, which is typical for those of her kind. She is short in stature, and skinny as well, making her light as a feather.
Since she is a extraterrestrial, she has weird appendages. Growing out of her back is a gigantic pair of wings that are like bird feathers.
They are primarily white, but closer to the tips, they become sort of blue grey, and they look almost avian. Here bone structure is light
to permit her to fly back and forth easier, but it does affect her ability to hit, which she makes up for in powers.

Other than that, Geo has a tattoo that covers her back and stretches down to her hips and swirling around her thighs. It extends all the
way to her forearms, and stops there. Those are the only tattoo's she has, but she has a piercing in her belly button, snake bites, a small
ear stretcher, a cuff, and two above her stretcher. She likes wearing interesting earrings or headpieces that are silver
and carry teal colored stones, which back home would have shown her apart from others of a different element.
Other than that, she wears ripped jeans and band shirts, anything cute yet nerdy at the same time
|Abilities|
Geo is quite the skilled individual, her powers being otherworldly, and strange. She has the ability to control sound, which so far is already rare on her home planet.Geo can see what regular humans can't see, that being sound waves, and she can suck them in, almost as if she was just drawing in air.
Once she draws it in, the waves compress inside her body, causing the tattoos and her eyes to glow a faint teal color. From there
she can release the sound from anywhere in her body, though the most effective spots are the hands and feet,
as they can cause the most damage. Blinking your eyelids doesn't do much. The one thing that does
do about as much damage as a hand, is her vocal chords, which when releasing sound from can
be strong enough to blow away a building, or concrete, and high pitched enough to shatter
glass. So be warned around her. She can use her sound to jump, to speed up, to shield,
but all of it requires a lot of intake, and she can quickly loose sound, and have
to go in for close combat to compensate.
|Group|
Misfit
|Activities|
None really, but she does like to sing in her spare time, maybe even play a song
|Relationships|
She is quite clueless about relationships, but she knows a few people like Val
|Crush|
What is a crush? Is it a type of soda?
|Besties|
*Sigh* Please stop using this language of confusion.
