Name: Amber Olsen
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Race: Yes. I mean, hooman.

Abilities: As far as anyone knows, no.

Appearance: 5’ 7”, 155 pounds, short brown hair, in good physical shape. Her eyes are green. She has both an average complexion and skin tone, but she is quite attractive both in facial construction and in physical curvature.

Most of her clothing is in the colors blue, gray, or white. Although she tries to dress casual, most of what she wears is a bit on the formal side - a side effect from growing up in a more well-off house. She has perfectly-fitted formal clothing for nearly every possible occasion, although her favorite is the tailored white suit she insisted on getting before coming to school, even edging out the fancy dresses that she wore much more often beforehand.

History: To say that Amber is an overachiever is an understatement. For her entire life, she has been able to do almost everything, and do it better than most people. There are few subjects in which proficiency has eluded her, and even fewer that she doesn’t at least have some knowledge of. For all of her life, she has always seemed to have an answer for everything, and for the majority of it she’s been hailed as a genius or prodigy.

Although she was born into a rather rich family, Amber never received any special education or tutoring. Her parents might have tried to get her some had she not found a way to excel at nearly every test put in front of her from a young age. It was an impossibility as far as most people were concerned; the age Amber was at should have made it impossible for her to do what she was doing. The girl could speak when she was eight months old, was making full sentences by one year, and could write by the time most toddlers were beginning to speak. She could understand far more than she should have been able to, and the intelligence that analysts claimed to see in her eyes was characteristic of someone much, much older. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.

As she grew, Amber’s testing results began to fall off, although only slightly. Instead of being at a super genius level, which was what the original analysis seemed to indicate, she was simply far above the average in her age groups. It was interesting, though: as she aged, the gap seemed to grow less and less, as if she had simply gained intelligence earlier than she was supposed to. In an attempt to make up for this, Amber put more work in, and what she couldn’t achieve through natural ability she could through hard work.

There wasn’t much notable that happened in her school life, save for a single incident. Amber had only one sister, an older one named Lei, who excelled not in academics but in sports. Her specialty was martial arts, but her greatest hobby, and her real skill, was in swordsmanship. It didn’t matter what sword, Lei could master it, and when she had finally found a school that had a national team dedicated to fencing it had been a dream come true. That was, until the night of the audition, when, after receiving the top spot by a large margin, her car was driven off the road and into a river by an out-of-control 18-wheeler. As these things generally go, Lei did not survive, and it threw a wrench into the relatively calm life that Amber had been living up until then.

Apart from the obvious reasons such an event would be important, it did cause one large change to Amber’s routine. She began practicing with swords, and no matter what anyone said she refused to let it go. As with everything she did, Amber’s natural talent kicked in, and she systematically gained a great deal of ability with the subject. It was even greater than usual, though: the amount of time she spent on the subject along with natural talent elevated her to somewhere near where her sister had been.

In terms of college acceptance, it was easy to see why she would end up at such an incredible university. Not only did her family have a lot of money, but she was also at the top of her class and one of the most visible contributors to several outreach and tutoring programs. Now, at the University, she’s an unofficial assistant to several professors, an official assistant to the Dean of students, and in charge of a group that assists students in learning or studying nearly any subject they need help with. Among a lot of those at the University, she is viewed as the perfect student. She is not only intelligent and beautiful, but she also is easy to approach and doesn’t treat anyone as though they are below her.

Her current fields of study are Computer Science and 3D Animation Technology, although her work at the University offices leans more towards Business and Accounting.

Other: At least an hour of every day is spent practicing with a sword in her hands, without fail. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.

Name: Zenon Wygierzewski
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Race: Human

Abilities: Consciousness can convert into a holographic medium, allowing him to cast holographic imagery without the need of electronics. He does not have to open his eyes to see, as he can see by using his consciousness holographically. Since he can see holographically, he can also see through darkness and brightness, and see any wave of light. He can also magnify his vision, allowing him to see nano text and micro text, for example. He can also project imagery, creating fake 3D images.

Appearance: He is 6’1”, 175 lbs., quite fit, green-eyed brunette. Balanced facial appearance.

History: Contrary to his nerdy abilities, Zenon was involved in hooliganism, political protesting, and violent demonstrations for the past several years. Having some experience in boxing, grappling, throwing things, stomping on peoples’ heads, and occasionally stabbing people has made him rather bold and strong. To get him out of such activities, his parents sent him to the best college so that his supernatural talents could be put to use, to benefit society. He now has courses in engineering, computer science, and technology. He is not a good student, as he does not care much of success, but still possesses quite the skills.

As would be expected of someone of Polish descent, he cares little of his skills and potential, prefering to just be himself, and use his skills only as a hobby. He was interested in robotics, machinery, engineering, computers, AI, and electronics since he could walk. Growing up as a kid, he could take apart various electronics, then put them back together in working condition. He would also modify or make his own electronics, which he started when he was five years old.

After a decade of work, he made a particular mask, which is basically a computer on his face. Even with his eyes covered, he can see the world around him, and browse the Internet as his leisure without having to deal with stupid people.

Other: His mask and attire give him a rather sinister look, which definitely isn’t far off, considering his history.

Name: Ezra Schmitt
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Race: Human / Henshin Hero

Race Description:
Henshin Heroes are pretty common fare in a lot of fictional media. They’re essentially people who have access to separate normal and powered forms. These forms must be actively switched between, usually through a device or key phrase.

Abilities:
Ezra can take the form of… an 11 year old magical girl warrior! Complete with a red frilly battle dress, red mega-twintails, knee-high socks and gravity defying heels that never seem to hinder her. Her “staff” is an animesque greatsword, which is the width of her torso and almost her whole length. Though you would expect such an item to be unwieldy, the blade can be wielded freely in but one of her hands.

Appearance:
Ezra is a wirey Caucasian man with a very indoorsy look. His facial hair rarely grows beyond a 5 oclock shadow, his long brown hair naturally set in a centre parting. He has brown eyes.

Ezra has a preference for loose clothes, jeans, scarves and the colour red in general.

History:
Ezra grew up in a foster house, never knowing his parents. Something of an introvert throughout his early years, his only best friend was his talking stuffed weasel named “Patches”. Though he received quite a lot of flak for it, he still keeps the inanimate soft toy close.

On his 18th birthday, his parents will was announced, bequeathing him with an unexpected enrolment to Hailbrooke and the keys (and deed) to a rundown flat atop a second hand store at the edge of town. Most curiously of all, they had left him a silver pocket watch that would not open, yet somehow turned up everywhere he went.

After spending a gap year visiting the world on the comfort of his ass (the internet), Ezra now travels to Hailbrooke. His first year studies are classical studies and psychology, with the option of later branching out from a BA to a B.Sc.

Other:
~ Has an addiction to Dr. Pepper.
~ Ezra’s flat, despite being rather old, is rather cramped – a sort of 3 story compact nightmare that has bathroom sinks sticking into the stairwell, a low pressure water heater and 3 bedrooms that likely couldn’t fit a queen sized bed, and a 25 minute commute to the campus. Nobody yet has been desperate enough to rent a room, but who knows?

Name: Gary Riley
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Race: Human... I think?

Race Description: Humans are these obnoxious little bastards that have infested the entire planet, and have gradually been destroying it for the past few hundred years. There have also been brief periods of strife where they decide to murder each other for various reasons.

Abilities: No known supernatural abilities.

Appearance: Gary stands at a towering six foot six, with dark blond hair and dark green eyes. He has a light skin tone, and is of an average build. He is not overly strong or overly quick, and has no immediately noticeable scars or blemishes. His facial features are not overly attractive, but definitely above average.

For clothing, Gary is fond of hoodies, T-shirts, and track pants, even though he isn't actually much of a runner.

History: Gary was born into a middle-class family. His father was a lawyer, and his mother was a college teacher. He also had a younger sister and a younger brother. Due to his parent's profession, money was rarely an issue for the family. However, it did mean that they were often busy with work, so it often fell to family friends and other relatives to babysit Gary and his siblings.

The most common babysitter was his grandfather, on his mother's side. He was a stage magician, and a surprisingly successful one at that. The sort who pulled classic tricks like pulling a rabbit out of a hat or sawing someone in hat, while occasionally attempting some more daring or modern feats.

The grandfather was quite fond of his grandchildren, and would often perform smaller tricks to impress them. Even as they grew older and no longer needed a babysitter, he still found the time to visit and all three children remained in contact with him. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Gary himself was an intelligent, well-read child, if a bit anti-social. His grandfather and siblings were some of the few people he would regularly open up to. He excelled through high school, and would eventually graduate with honours. His high grades had somehow earned the notice of Hailbrooke, and won him a scholarship (though he suspected his mother's connections somehow had a hand in that as well.) He had enrolled himself in a business program.

Gary was excited at the news, if somewhat nervous. He would, after all, be leaving home. At the same time, it was an excellent opportunity, and part of him welcomed the independence.

Then his grandfather died.

A heart attack had struck him suddenly in the night. The entire family was devastated, save for Gary's father, who was never overly fond of entertainers, but was sympathetic nonetheless. His grandfather had left a will before he died.

An equal sum of money went to each grandchild for their college fund, and in addition to this Gary also received a box containing some old stage props. The funeral was only a week before Gary left for Hailbrooke, and left a damper on the beginning of his new life.

He left home still grieving, and brought the box with him. He had already looked through it, and the items that stood out to him included a golden quill with a black feather, an odd brass key with a skull, a silver ring with a tiny blue sapphire, a black oak wand with a hilt wrapped in velvet, a pair of white silk gloves, some fine black dress shoes, an old amulet, a crystal ball, and a vibrant red cape. There were others, of course, but none that were particularly memorable.

Nonetheless, Gary had resolved to keep them all.

Other: Nah. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.
