The Academy of Secrets-Xythalia Academy

Name: Hachi Okotta
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Appearance: Hachi seems to constantly wear a set of yellow and black samurai armor with a face-concealing mask. The overcoat is shaped like a bee's stinger. His true face is shrouded in mystery, concealed by a plate of iron and a fog of enigma. Or maybe he just never found a changing room; who knows.
Species: Human
Position: Student
Weapon: Hachi wears a traditional daisho at all times. He also possesses a number of traditional samurai weapons from home, kept safely in his trunk.
Special Powers: Hachi has the ability to summon and control honeybees, an Okotta family secret art. This is a precursor skill to special attack: Summon Osuzumebachi
Personality: Hachi is highly disciplined, and focused. He puts a large emphasis on honor, and the importance of upholding his family name. He is no coward, as that would be shameful. He puts 110% into everything he does, be it defeating his foes or winning the heart of an exotic co-student. Probably with motorcycles.
Bio/Background: The Okottas are a highly traditional family, determined to uphold the way of the samurai. Hachi is one such member, a member who is young yet strong, proud yet proud, and determined to become the greatest samurai his family has ever seen. His reason for arriving at the school is diabolically simple: he wishes to unite Japan under his flag, and from there, the world.
Special features: None that I can think of.
Extra: In addition to his combat training, Hachi is an excellent dancer and can do sick motorcycle jumps.
 
Name: Johnathan Twiste
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Appearance: He's a cartoonishly buff guy in a t-shirt and shorts. Also, he's seven and a half feet tall.
Species: Human
Position: Student, Member of the Weightlifting team
Weapon: Fancy inertia-dampening padded boxing gloves
Special Powers: Johnny is ludicrously good at punching things, can punch anything, and is arbitrarily strong
Personality: Johnny is a pretty quiet dude, though that's more because he's socially awkward than by choice
Bio/Background: Johnny Twiste came into school with amnesia. However, he harbors a dark secret: He doesn't actually have amnesia, he just really hates small talk. In reality, he grew up on a farm in Iowa, had a perfectly normal childhood with two doting parents and a two little sisters back home, and was only sent to Xythalia because Johnny has a tendency to cause massive property damage by accident.
Special features: Never takes off his boxing gloves
Extra: He spends his free time working out at the gym, because people don't usually talk to him there.
Also, he sounds kind of like Kermit the Frog.

Name: Louisa Buppe (Shortened to Lou)
Gender: Female
Age: 12 Witch Years (18 Human Years).
Appearance: A bubbly little blonde-haired girl with pointed pig-tails and overly puffy clothing.
Species: Witch (Slower Aging Human)
Position: Student
Weapon: Broom of Near-Limitless Magicka
Special Powers: Can cast spells, make potions, and speak to frogs.
Personality: Bubbly and enthusiastic about life in general. Hard to upset, though not impossible.
Bio/Background: Louisa is secret because of her powers. Raised in a "coven" of witches, a group of 30-something looking 90 year olds,
Louisa always knew she was different from other children. Specifically, the fact that she had "seven" moms, and could speak to frogs. For the first eleven years of her life, Louisa was forced to go from school to school, never quite fitting in. every time she came close, the dreaded parent-teacher conferences would arrive, and she would be forced to explain why instead of a mother and father, she had seven especially buxom "aunts".
Special features: Cheeks fluorescently bright pink (literally glow in the dark)

Name: Ashley Fox
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Appearance: She tends to wear the standard cheerleading outfit most often. If she is not in that, she is usually in a pair of jeans and some random t-shirt. Her black hair is almost always in a pony-tail.
Species: Human
Position: Student, Head Cheerleader
Weapon: Concealed Knives which eject from her Pom-Poms.
Special Powers: Can create clones of herself, (whatever her clones sees or hears, she gains that information. She controls them and can dismiss them at will.)
Personality: Ashley is a manipulative schemer, the greatest in her generation. (So she thinks). She focuses her attention into getting what she wants, when she wants. She is driven by her own vanity, and wanting to get others to bend to her whims. Her passion for cheerleading is also an important drive, not as important as manipulating the world, but it is there.
Bio/Background: Ashley Fox has her secrets, and attachments to various secret societies based due to her family connections. She studied various methods of manipulation with these particular individuals, and of course learning it from her own family. Her reason for attending the academy is to practice her tools of manipulation, so she is prepared for eventual world domination, (or at the very least a very lucrative political career.)
Special features: Nothing really.
Extra: At the moment she is the only member of the Cheerleading Squad, and it is actually composed of her clones.

I'd like to get in on this if there are spots left.

Name
: Leah West
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Appearance: http://i.imgur.com/PBrCQP3.jpg
Species: Angel of Sunlight
Position: Student
Weapon: A switchblade with an engraving of the sun on the hilt. Gives off light when in use.

Special Powers
:
Light Manipulation - Leah can summon and create light, for both offensive and defensive purposes. Also for bringing the Sun into dark places, of course.
Miracles - Leah can channel holy power to heal wounds, dispel curses, and break enchantments. Useful, but there's a limit to its power and she can't call on these miracles constantly.
Covenant of Sunlight: Leah can make a pact with a person: this allows the person to summon Leah when necessary to overcome a great challenge, though in return Leah may do the same to that person.

Personality: As an angel dedicated to the Sun, Leah wants to share its light with everyone. Though this doesn't seem to get her to pay attention in class. Leah can frequently be seen either gazing out the window (at the sun), or skipping class to smoke cigarettes (and stare at the sun.) As far as school goes, she ends up coming off like a delinquent, though she's far from a bad person. She does quite enjoy righteous cooperation with people, in the name of overcoming a challenge.

Bio/Background: An angel of the sun who awoke one day in a crumbling ruin. She allowed herself to be lead through the building by chasing rays of sunlight that spilled through the ruined ceiling. Once she'd eventually escaped the building (defeating a fearsome demon in the process), she set out to wander the earth, going wherever the rays of the sun guided her. Eventually she found herself near a strange academy, known for its association with secrets. Almost immediately, Leah knew she had to enter this academy. Both to bring the Sun's light to it, and to discover what secrets had brought her here...

Special features: Leah has a pair of black feathered wings, which she can choose to show or hide at will. Usually keeps them hidden, though.

Extra:
 
I'm sorry I haven't been receiving alerts for this. ^^''

@ComradeSenpai accepted.
@Parser Woah. His past. Lol. I like his secret. Mind talking more about his family? XD
@Xenonia Wow, 12 years old and already in an academy filled with all upperclassmen huh..XD Although I do prefer older ages, if you really want her to be 12 then it's okay. :3
@Dinorocket @BrotherNier accepted. :)
 
Alrighty. Editing now.
 
Don't wanna seem a bother, but has anything of note happened IC we should know about?
 
I'm sorry I haven't been receiving alerts for this. ^^''
Yeah, the alerts system is kind of dodgy. The watched threads page works better.

Anyway, anyone mind giving a quick summary of the IC up to this point?
 
Name: Zeke Weston
Age:17
Gender:Male
Species: Human
Appearance:

http-almostanimu-wordpress-com-2012-05-13-romantic-teenage-drama-feat-jazz-1085819.jpg


Position: Student, President of the Association of Student Merchants

Weapon: Guns

Powers: Zeke can summon things into being, but he needs to know a lot about the objects in question.

Personality: Zeke is a boisterous person, he's big and he craves attention. In fact he craves a lot of things, greed is one of his defining personality traits. His greed often leads him into trouble. He has a minor fascination with both guns and the occult.

Bio: Zeke grew up on a military base for most of his childhood. When he was thirteen his parents sent him to military boarding school. He hated it there, he felt too restricted, too controlled. So he ran away, he was found and taken in by a group of traveling merchants. This is where he found his true passion, free enterprise. He worked with the traders until he was seventeen, when he was found by the poliece to be carrying strange unlicensed guns, that seemingly had no serial numbers. He was arrested and sent to a series of schools; where managed to stay for less than a week each. Finally in an act of desperation, he was sent to Xythalia.

Special Features: Most people think Zeke's voice is kind of loud.

Extra:
 
She's a witch. Witches age slowly. Human years? 18. Witch years? 12. I'll clarify that.
 
@Xenonia alright, thanks for clarifying so, makes things a lot clearer. :) You're accepted then.

@cvvc accepted. :)

@Parser accepted XD Your chara seems fun

@BrotherNier ikr, the alerts system. *sighs*

anyawy, those who want a quick summary:

Currently, many of the members are gathered at the student council: River, Valeriya, Jack, Arlo, and Alvondo--as what was supposed to be a meeting. Kyou was there originally but he went to somewhere near the girl's dorm (he's quite a...guy who likes girls :P) to cool off since he had a fight with Jack, his half brother. Disme with her skeleton fellow Kaine was around the girl's dorm, while I'm not that sure about Rena...There's two Rena's in the RP, by the way. One is played by me, who was at the music room with Kalin. The other is played by @Koringa...Eh, sorry but I'm not so sure about yours. ^^ @TakedaXxXKaori hasn't been participating in the RP for a little while, but she was currently in a room which was her hiding place. ^=^ Hope this helps.

@Reito You're on yaaaay XDDDD

Name: Andria Golden
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Appearance: Andria is a skeleton held up by a magic sphere that is inside her skull. She usually wears long sleeves and other clothes that don't show too much bone, that would be indecent. Her eyes shin a dim blue due to the magic sphere.
Species: Human Skeleton
Position: Student, Xylophone section leader
Weapon: She is armed to the bone with her own bones that she can rip off and use as weapons.

Special Powers: Andria can attach any kind of bone to herself and absorb it to either replace any broken or missing bones she had. She can also use the bones to create mini skeletons that at most can be about as tall as one's leg to do menial tasks.

Personality: Andria is an easy going skeleton who usually isn't very hostile. However she is extremely possessive of books and will do her best to ensure they stay safe. She will never hesitate to make bone puns as a way to help other cope with the fact they are talking to a skeleton.

Bio/Background: Andira was created by a dying necromancer to help him pass the time until his death by playing music. Fearing that running away would cause the necromancer to stop the flow of mana keping her alive, she immersed herself in books. It was only after his death that she noticed she was not connected to the necromancer's mana, but was held together by a powerful magical sphere in her head. Andria entered the academy to either find a way to become human again, or at least become something else that isn't as scary.
