Sorry sorry, being paranoid. We'll just see if this works.
- Name: Alice Margatroid
- Age: Appears 16, real age indeterminate.
- Race: Youkai
- New or Returning Student: New.
- Grade: Junior
- Majors: Engineering and Pure Magic
- Appearance: Pale blond hair with a red headband through it, up to her shoulders. Green eyes and somewhat sharp and hawkish features. Her body type is on the thin side, but she's also somewhat tall, thus making her lanky and a bit unhealthy looking. That frailness is compounded by her complexion, which is sallow. In short, beautiful but unkempt. Or you could see a picture instead.
◊
- Uniform: Wears a pink frilled ribbon over her neck and around her waist like a sash, or again the picture could be used as reference.
- Personality: A loner, standoffish and somewhat boorish to people she doesn't know well. Goes out of her way to avoid people, even those she actually knows. In general, she's uncomfortable with others, especially if they show interest in her. She doesn't hate people, she just doesn't deal with attention well. She also gets easily flustered when out of her comfort zone, though it's a fairly large one as she's quite experienced. Can be a bit extreme when angered, though she's normally fairly good at remaining stoic.
An interesting aspect of her is her puppets. A skilled puppeteer, Alice lost most of the once significant power she had as a result of her history, and as such the puppets are now merely strong curios. She still has an expert degree of control over them. But it is hard to tell sometimes if Alice is that good at manipulating them or if they have a life of their own. - Background: Certain events force a drift from one's old lifestyle, and this is exactly what occurred to Alice. Exiling herself from her old world due to complications in it's politics, Alice is determined to forge her own path and perhaps one day return when she can come to terms with the occurrences that bothered her so. Her arrival at the school was through a long journey of wandering and outright bumming around, though she quickly pulled herself to her feet and prepared to make a good impression.
Hmm... would a mad scientist in the style of Genius The Transgression be acceptable?
Nevermind, that's stupid.

"You have more than enough potential. So tell me what is the one wish that would make your soul gem shine." -Mitt Romney, probablyAw, no grimoire? Oh well, as long as she can still be associated with the theme by the same name I can deal with that. And besides, it's still nice to see Alice anyways, ahah~
- Name: Robert Ainsel
- Age: 26
- Race: Vampire
- New or Returning Student: Returning
- Grade: Sophomore
- Majors: Enchanting and Curses - Architecture
- Appearance: Robb looks, as expected of his race, as a rather pale kid. Even though he's been alive for 26 years his appearance is stuck to the point where he was bitten at age sixteen. He's a little short for a guy his age, has curly brown hair and green eyes. As for his features... well he looks a little boyish, pretty friendly and inoffensive.
- Uniform: None whatsoever except for the fact that he replaced the school's coat with a pretty similar one but with a hood. He also makes sure to carry at least one handkerchief everywhere he goes.
- Personality: Robert is for the most part, just as first appearances would indicate. A friendly and nice guy, with a little bit of a helpful streak and an ease for getting flustered. Still, when taking the initiative he can be pretty secure in himself.
- Background: Turned at age 16 Robb's family practically secluded him from society once his transformation was apparent. Not out of shame, but to protect him from the reactions of other people and for him to eventually get used to sunlight once again. It was a hard decision but eventually Robert agreed to the exile. So he spent almost a decade in hiding, getting used to his new body, keeping long distance relationships with his friends now that he was 'sick' and basically being a teenager with a lot of free time. However 9 years after being bitten, society is a lot more accepting than before and so it's about time this young man finished his education. Robb has already passed his first year at school without any problems. He hasn't made any real friends yet but he does have a lot of friendly acquaintances. He's made a resolution to get some true friends in this new year.
I was thinking Staunen, but than I wouldn't be able to specialise in awesome 'splodey things. And Grimms are a bit too... angry for what I'm shooting for.
I'll do both!
- Name:Tabitha Hawkins.
- Age:14
- Race:Inspired.
- New or Returning Student:New.
- Grade:Freshman.
- Majors:Engineering and Alchemy.
- Appearance:Tabitha is a rather thin girl, almost like a stick figure. Her skin is pale from hours spent under artificial lighting. Her black hair is constantly frazzled and usually tied up in a tight bun. Her green, bloodshot eyes are hidden behind a pair of cheaply made, if rather nice looking, goggles
◊. Tabitha seems to be constantly grinning. It's a geniune smile, but it can get a little disturbing after a while.
- Uniform:Nothing aside from the aforementioned goggles. She keeps a stark white lab coat on hand for special occasions, however.
- Personality:Tabitha is odd, to put it simply. Normally, she's rather cheerful, if a bit prone to unrelated tangents and monologues, usually about some new invention or discovery. She's easily distracted by new things and tends to use "creative problem solving" in most situations, but can be counted on to do whatever you need her to do.
- Background:Since she was around four or five years old, Tabitha was facinated by... well, science. Biology, geology, mathematics, every possible scientific practice imaginable. When she was ten, she became an Inspired, which isn't a common occurance for someone so young. The exact circumstances of the event aren't something that she likes to remember, though it can be gathered that they were very, very unpleasent. The next four years of her life were spent annoying and accidentally harming her parents and passers-by with her various inventions, all of which fell apart at one point or another. At fourteen, she was sent off two Fantasia Academy* to perfect her trade.
This character is brought to you by Thomas Dolby.
Uh bluh, terrible signup. And yes, she's a Wesley . There was no other way to go about it.

"You have more than enough potential. So tell me what is the one wish that would make your soul gem shine." -Mitt Romney, probablyHmm, rather interested in seeing how this all turns out. Gotta admit, I am looking forward to it!
- Name: Jack William Cliff
- Age: 17
- Race: Human Male
- New or Returning Student: Returning
- Grade: Sophmore (Held Back)
- Majors: Astronomy, Herbology
- Appearance: A tall, skinny man with messy brown hair that went every which-way and kind, blue eyes. Has a small stubble of a beard showing up, but appears to be the only thing neatly groomed about this kid.
- Uniform: Several safety pins are pushed through the sleeves, making a small and messy double-helix up them. The pants have holes in them, but close inspection would show they were self-made.
- Personality: Jack is a kind, if not lazy kid who wants to keep everyone close by so he can tell a few punny knock-knock jokes and keep everyone laughing. He's the guy in the room who detests fighting, and only wants everyone to keep things moving at a quiet, simple pace. He isn't smart, or athletic by a long shot, but he has a bright and cheery attitude that will either pick you up - or make you wish he turned out.
- Background: Born in an orphanage, "Will" was growing up until he was 5, when his parents walked in and adopted him. As he grew up, he got into bits of trouble with the police, mostly over him growing and smoking things he shouldn't. He claimed to do it for "the sight beyond the veil" it gave him, but whether or not this was true no one knew. In any event, he was enrolled at the High-School in due time, taking majors in both Astronomy and Herbology.

Pokedy Poke-pokeCharacter Sheet
• Name: Thomas Kempworth III
• Age: 17
• Race: Vanilla Human
• New or Returning Student: Returning
• Grade: Junior
• Majors: Political Science/Oneiromancy
• Appearance: Combed blonde hair, with a shaved, well turned out appearance.
• Uniform: Tends towards the standard uniform, with a straight necktie and a tendancy to leave the blazer unbuttoned.
• Personality: Thomas maintains a friendly and helpful personality towards his fellow students and staff, ensuring that he is well liked and generally held in high regard. Whilst he is in himself certainly not sociopathic, he does enjoy exerting control over others and the wielding of power. He notes that the best way to achieve power over others is through subtle manipulation from a position of cofidence, rather than as an overt action.
• Background: Thomas comes from a very powerful family that has influence in numerous media, business and political areas throughout the world. Thomas' father is a wealthy businessman that had planned to enter politics before being disgraced in a very public scandal. From an early age Thomas was groomed by his father to take up a life of politics, and recieved strict tutoring in many areas, from public speaking to media relations and economics. Whilst his latent magical power at first vexxed his father, he soon realised the potential for a unified vote between the magical and the non-magical that ensured a strong chance of political success. The development of his magical aptitude necessitated his enrollment in the Fantasia Academy.
