Name: Mason Freeling
Race: Wraith
Personality: Mason is a bit socially awkward in a way that he has been home schooled for most of his life by his very religious family. He has been told that he is a curse, and that he is a product of the 'devil' and he believes it. He spends a lot of time online because he is terrified of going outside in public. When he gets to know people he will open up, he can be kind and charming, in his own way, or vengeful and mean spirited to his enemies. He certainly does not want to be at the school, but given his circumstances and opportunities Bleakhaven is the best place for him.
Appearance: Mason is an albino, or so he appears. His wraith background has given him an almost translucent skin and extremely blue eyes. But unlike many people with albinism he has perfect eyesight. His hair is stark white and very frail. His style could be considered hipster, or angsty teen. He is average height, and svelt, and is faster than he looks.

I just realized that there is already a wraith application. I hope that is ok, I don't want to challange anybody for a spot

Application
right-aligned image
Name: Aliyah Brooks aka "Emily Johnson"
Race: Wraith
Personality: Aliyah has always been an introvert. That doesn't mean that she doesn't like people, in fact she like to hang out with her friends and is in general a friendly and open person but she often needs to spend some of her little free time alone, preferably playing her violine or dancing on her own. Then she can completly relax and get a break from herself and her perfectionism which is otherwise always nagging in the back of her mind. No matter what she does, she won't settle for anything less than perfection. Maybe, if she is good enough her parents will finally be proud of her. This is also the reason why she trained so hard to become a professional dancer. She has a strong will and once she set her mind on something, she will follow through no matter what gets in her way. But while her strive for perfection has got her quiet far it has also made herself more judgmental towards other people although she usually judges herself most of all.

Ever since her death the curse started to influence Aliyah's behaviour. She gets more easily irritated with people, sometimes even to the point of hating everyone around her just for being alive while she isn't. This hate urges her to hurt others so when this happens she locks herself away, even though she knows that it doesn't actually help. Her newly awoken powers are still unstable and gaining control over them is the only reason she agreed to attend Bleakhaven. She believes that her parents wanted to get rid of her because she got difficult and didn't fit into their life anymore, leaving her very hurt and being negative towards going to New York. In the end she has no choice but to go since there is nothing left for her in the UK and a litte part of her still hopes that she will find some new meaning far away from home.

Appearance: At first glance Aliyah looks like a normal girl, maybe a bit short for her age. Years of ballet resulted in her being very slender and well trained as well as giving her movements a certain grace and posture. When she is not training she likes to keep her long dark-brown curls open, allowing them to frame her almost doll-like face. She always tries her best to dress properly, prefering pastel colors since she likes contrast to her more tanned skin as well as keep the rest of her appearance well kempt.
If you look closer though you can see the marks death left on her. Her caramel eyes have a tinge of red to them and when she's angry they almost seem to glow crimson. Her skin, despite being naturally darker appears to be translucent and in generell her face looks more sunken-in. Luckily it's nothing that can't be fixed with a bit of make-up and glamor.


Backstory: Aliyah grew up in the suburbs of London where she lived with her parents and her two older brothers. Her father had a good job at a well-known bank, a fact he was very proud of and he made sure that he raised his children to become even more successful than he was. On the other hand her mother was quiet overprotective of their children. She would never admit it openly but a lot of children of the Brooks' clan never made it into adulthood and she wanted to make sure that her children would not suffer the same fate.

While both of her brothers excelled at school the young girl always got average grades and no matter how hard she worked she could never reach her siblings' achievments. The only thing she was really good at was ballet. From a very young age the Brooks' had enrolled their children for a couple of activities and Aliyah had quickly fallen in love with dancing and music. Sadly her strict parents didn't see ballet as a viable career path for their daughter and never took her childhood dream of becoming a ballerina seriously. But the young girl had a strong will so for years she trained really hard, always having her goal in mind: one day she wants to be a principle dancer at the Royal Ballet. If she could manage to become part of such a prestigious theater her parents will be proud of her as well for sure.

For years her life mostly consisted of school and training with only little time for hanging out with friends although this time was always very precious to her. That one fateful night she had visited her best friend. Since none of her family members had time to pick her up she took the bus home despite her parents telling her to wait. On the way from the bus stop a car suddenly left the street and ran the young girl over. Instead of stopping and calling the ambulance the driver, probably scared by what had happend, just drove away. When Aliyah was finally found it was already too late, she had died.

If asked today Aliyah cannot tell how much time has passed until she woke up again in her bedroom at home. First she thought it had just been a dream but when she reached for her phone her hand phased right through it. Her mother, who came to check on her after hearing her shriek explained to the shocked girl that their family is cursed and that every family member who dies of unnatural causes comes back as an undead spirit. It had taken her parents a lot of money, glamor and favors to stage a proper burial since Aliyah had alread been officially declared dead before they learned about the accident so they had to play along even though they knew she would come back at some point.

Over the next weeks Aliyah had to come to terms with the fact that her life like she had known it was gone for good and that there is no way of getting it back while also getting used to her new abilities like flying and phasing through objects. She got more and more frustrated and sometimes even hated her family and everyone else who could continue their life while she had lost everything and could never lead a normal life anymore so she isolated herself even more. Most of all she hated the driver who robbed her of everything and she vowed to herself that she will find them one day. The problems grew by the day, resulting in a lot of arguments between the young girl and her family and when one fight with her brother ended in her almost killing him by accident her father decided it has been enough and enrolled her at Bleakhaven. He organized her a new identity and send her off to the US where she should learn to contol her powers without interfering with the Brook's life too much.

Name: Sally McMander
Race: Salamander
Personality: She might look like a 15 year old human, but she’s still a Salamander and she knows it. She also possesses the mentality and attitude of her species. While she desires power, Sally knows she just can’t go out and conquer those weaker than her. So she has to settle with academic conquest. If she can be the best at everything then the others will fall in behind her and become her followers.

However her destructive impulses are something altogether. Sally knows that she can’t go around burning down buildings or the nearby wooded areas and dance around the smoldering, chard remains. So instead Sally makes large camp fires and dance among the flames. She also enjoys setting small fires with whatever she can find. If she isn’t able to any of those things then she just lights up one of the many lighters she carries and places her hand over the flame. Or catch small things on fire.

While Sally is usually cheerful and social, she can also be quick of temper. If she starts to get irritated with something or someone, an intense heat starts to emanate from her body. And if she is angered she just wants to burn whatever angered her. Or cheerful burn whatever angered her and then dance on the burning remains.

Appearance: Sally is a typical Goth teenager. She's always wearing black, black…everything. Clothing, finger nails, toe nails, lip stick, eye shadow, everything. Except her hair which is a bright flaming red, almost like actual fire itself. It’s hard to tell if that red is natural or not but if one looks closely at it, her hair almost seems like it’s … flickering… like there’s a fire dancing around in it. And her yellow eyes glow like a pair of lighted candles.

ApplicationName:Jude Carrington
right-aligned image


Race: Fire Elemental

Appearance: Standing at 5’ 11”, Jude is of slightly above-average height. He’s skinny, but wears a lot of dark and baggy clothing, so it’s hard to tell his exact build. Jude also has gauges in his ears, and a black baseball cap that he wears most of the time over his messy, dark brown hair.

Jude has bright green eyes and slightly tanned skin. His eyes have been known to glow like embers when he’s really focused on something, and when Jude gets upset, this effect intensifies, with small amounts of flame sometimes even erupting from under his skin.

Quick question. Are we rolling up a whole sheet right now or will that be given to us?

Name: Declan Callaghan
Race: Werebear

Personality: A stranger in a strange land, Declan is easy going generally speaking, but having been raised and educated in Ireland, he can come off as abrasive at times. Clever, but not exactly book smart, he's a fan of physical activity and a good book, but this city life stuff is driving him to distraction. Nobody's first foray into independence should begin in New York.

Appearance:
 

A big lad from a family of big lads, Declan went through the Dwayne Johnson school of puberty and sticks out like a sore thumb among his peers, not helped by his love of hurling and rugby. Fond of dressing functionally rather than fashionably, he'll never look like he comes from money or even up to date.

Backstory: Born and raised in turf country on the Galway/Mayo border, Declan is the second child and first son of five children from a farming family. While mucking about with cows, sheep, horses and farm machinery allowed his parents; Diarmuid and Aoife, to blend in with passable ease, it wasn't a life that lent itself to sustaining a large family, and they wanted a large family. Both knew from experience that home schooling could only teach a person so much, and while children were easy enough to cover for when they were young and living in the back of beyond, things tended to get more complicated once puberty and hormones got thrown into the mix. Not a lot of bears in rural Ireland, after all, so any screw ups would attract notice.

Not that this worried them over much: their first two cubs were rugged, healthy children and built like a pair of brick outhouses from a young age. Certain professions and generations are full of socially awkward oddballs that later analysis might apply some kind of disorder to, so they blended right in. They went through primary education, played sports, made kind of friends, terrorized each other... All the things young siblings should do. But while puberty was kind, after a fashion, to his older sister Mary, Declan sprouted like a weed and filled out like it was nobody's business, to the point where questions might be asked. Couple this with testosterone racing through a burgeoning young man's system and you have a recipe for disaster.

They kept a lid on it, mostly, and Declan took to physical sports as an outlet, but it couldn't last, and they looked for other solutions, coming across an application for Bleakhaven online during one particularly desperate search. He qualified for admission, and while he wasn't exactly sure about this, his parents were insistent. In spite of his protestations he was packed up with all the provisions you could bring on a long haul flight, and shipped off with an Irish Mammy's oppressive love.

One uncomfortable flight and an even less comfortable bus journey later, he was at Bleakhaven and feeling pessimistic about his chances.

RP Sample:

"What's this?"

He raised the letter he'd been handed, skimming it briefly while his parents, sat opposite him at the big kitchen table, looked on. His father pushed his dinner plate away, taking a sip of scalding tea and scratched absently at his beard.

"It's a letter."

"I can see that, Dad," Declan deadpanned, frowning.

"Be more specific next time, then," his father said, grinning.

"You've been accepted," his mother said, intervening, "to Bleakhaven."

"In New York," Declan deadpanned again.

"Yes," both parents said in unison, then shot each other a cute smile.

Declan cleared his throat and looked at the letter again, embarrassed. While he loved his parents dearly, he didn't know what to do when they got into their in jokes and flirting, so he made a dash for safety. Sadly safety was a very worry letter informing him that he was going to school in some posh, proddy school in America with a load of Yanks. When he'd thought about moving to the city he'd always envisioned Cork or Dublin. This... This was something else. As if reading his mind, his father spoke up.

"I know it seems far, Dec, but it's a good school, you know? There aren't a lot of places where you can be yourself, if ya get me."

"I do, Dad, I just..."

"I know."

His mother reached across and grabbed his hand.

"It'll be an adventure, and you'll only be a Skype call away."

He looked at the letter, then around at the photos on the kitchen walls.

"Yeah... Yeah."

I will be updating the player list tonight and the selection may happen soon. With my Co-GM and I each running a group, we will be choosing our players for the day class and night class instead of the initial plan I had in mind.
