Shadowside/Characters

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


The Shadowside Play By Post Game has an enormous cast of characters exemplifying a variety that borders on absurdity. It is likely this list will never be complete, as the site exemplifies a truly extreme case of Loads and Loads of Characters, and more are constantly being added to the roster. The variety of proffessions, abilities, personalities, and even species is truly astonishing.

Characters can be created in most any way you can think, with three weak powers to start or one strong, though there are a few that have no powers at all and that somehow have survived to be in the campus. There are no predefined races, even the Evotellurics (Which are the most abundant race there, followed by werewolves/wolf-hybrids) have lots of diversity, from the ones with powers that deal with entropy, to powers that... Yeah, deal with the taste of the skin and being addictive. Abilities and skills range from Stock Super Powers to the creative to the batshit insane, with a surprisingly small number of BadAssNormals scattered about. It is also possible to register a custom race if you want, to share it with the world or to keep it all for yourself.

Player Characters A - E

Arikarka "Ari" Seda

"Some people have called me crazy, saying I hear the voices of pretty much any creature, natural or magical, in my head. I just laugh them off, deciding not to tell them of the surprise that is coming from the air any moment."

Overall Arikarka, known by nearly all as simply Ari, is a wild child, a Wild Mage. With the mindset of herself coming first and everyone else second the redhead can be a strange one to be around. Usually with her best friend Nodi (a giant wolfdog) at her side and some sort of bird, mammal, or reptile always coming up to her for advice or help, hanging around Ari is never boring. From a tropes point of view, Ari is a merge of Firekeeper from the Firekeeper series, and Daine from the Immortals Quartet

  • Daughter of A Whore - Only living daughter is more like it. Ari was born to her birth mother Vera Dita and has no idea who her father is. In fact Ari's surprise she's alive, seeing as she has no siblings.
  • Animal Talk - Speaking it, body language-ing it, speaking mind to mind, yea, Ari's got it covered.
  • Speaks Fluent Animal - Same as above.
  • Non-Human Sidekick - Nodi is almost always at her side, so watch out. The 4 foot 9.5 inch tall and nearly 7 foot long wolfdog is quite intimidating.
  • Wild Child - Having learned many of her skills and almost past human feats of amazement have been taught to her by many many species across the continent of Europe and Asia.
  • Friend to All Living Things - Pretty much sums it up.
  • Not Good with People - Ari is a mix of first type and second type. Being once a true second type, the time on campus has softened Ari's aversion with dealing with humans, though has a much stronger animal mentality when thinking and dealing with events in life.
  • Fiery Redhead - Not an extreme redhead, but stir Ari up enough and she will let her opinion known.
  • Animal Eye Spy - This is as easy as breathing for the wild mage.
  • Healing Hands - Ari can heal any animal, magical or natural. Even shapeshifters if they are fully human!
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting - Has the power to shapeshift into animal animal she chooses, be it full 100% animal or a hybrid chimera mix.

Arthur Kensington

  • Adorkable - He has a rather clumsy way about him, but mostly with women, children, animals... Pretty much anything he can't relate to forces him to be rather dorky and endearing all at the same time.
  • Beware the Nice Ones - It is extremely difficult to anger him to the point of violence, which he hates in and of itself. But if you succeed... RUN.
  • Chronic Hero Syndrome
  • Parental Abandonment - It was clear his parents never really cared for him.
  • Time Travel - Very mild cases of doubling the speed of time, and stopping time, for now, but his power designation is "Chronotracer".


Azel Van Basch

Better known by the nickname "Tails," this young delinquent turned businessman has a modest reputation around campus as a member of the LoL Brigade -- the Absurdly Powerful Student Council which isn't actually the student council. However, when he's usually skipping classes, this working young man finds gainful employment in an organization called Alquerque. After all, an independent young teen has his own bills to pay.

  • Almighty Janitor - He can cook, clean, sing, dance, paint, play instruments, speak multiple languages, perform first aid and has many other practical skills, but among the super-powered campus students, he's just average.
  • Badass Bookworm - And he doesn't just learn this stuff, he puts the knowledge to practical application.
  • Conveniently an Orphan - He does sometimes talk about his adolescent years with a certain air of detachment.
  • Damn, It Feels Good to Be a Gangster! - While he's mainly a delinquent on campus, his shady associations in the city puts him on a whole different level.
  • Mysterious Past - However, it's not a complete mystery since all profiles require some explanations.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname - While it's unclear where he got the nickname Tails, he still uses his real name during formalities such as signatures.
  • Ragtag Bunch of Misfits - Together with the jokester Akihiko, the surfer girl Jamie, the knight Kaz, and the gunner Sybil, Tails leads this unorthodox team he calls the Rat Pack.
  • Screw Destiny - A big believer in free will over fate, he'll go out of his way to prove anyone wrong if they so much as try to predict his future.
  • Trying to Catch Me Fighting Dirty - Tails isn't a fighter, so when he gets into dangerous situations, he'll do any means necessary to win.
  • White-Haired Pretty Boy - Who also has red eyes but breaks the stereotype by having tanned skin.


Casimiro Alvarez

The looks lure in the women. The knives keep them there.

"How ya like this, ya freaks?! You're fucking wolf hero has been put down by me! Some alpha, huh?.... Heh heh... He's a little bitch! That's what he is!... And the rest of you better take this as... as an example! Get in my way... And you get shanked!"

In short, Casimiro is a psychotic pervert. Based primarily on the idea that psychopaths can't feel empathy and some emotions on a very foundational level, he takes intense pleasure in taking what he wants and generally causing havoc, hopefully at the expense of someone. He's arrogant, violent, lustful, ego-centric, antisocial, and Chad's number one rival on campus.

  • Angst Dissonance - Don't mention your shitty, "dark" past around him. Otherwise, expect to be laughed at and then have your life made worse by his interference.
  • Axe Crazy - Casimiro is definitely one of these, except with throwing knives and more rape-y. Don't expect to have any kind of non-confrontational, nonviolent interaction with him. Also, don't make any mention of all the "furries" running around on campus.
  • At Least I Admit It - He takes great pleasure in pointing out the hypocrisies of the good guys and so-called "heroes" around him.
  • Evil Feels Good - Duh.
  • Good Scars, Evil Scars - He used to have a single vertical scar over his right eyes, but after the fight with Chad that resulted in the above quote, he now has three vertical scars that make up most of the right side of his face.
  • Love Dodecahedron - Despite the inability to actually empathize, and subsequently love, Casimiro finds himself garnering favor with some girls and "falling for" Sybil Serel, which causes even more friction with Chad.
  • Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids - Casimiro revels in his cynical view of the world, people, and students trying to heroes; believing that idealists are in denial and will be the first to die once they actually go out into the real world.
  • The Blade Always Lands Pointy End In - Hand waved with Casimiro's throwing knives by saying they use magnets and Yautja technology to always land with maximum penetration.
  • The Hedonist - He lives to please himself. Usually at the expense of others.
  • Training from Hell - His training typically involves full-on sparring and beatings. Expected when his mentor was himself trained by the greatest hunters in the galaxy.
  • Trickster Archetype - Definitely one of these, complete with Cheshire Cat Grin. Minus the part where he teaches any kind of good moral lesson.

Catherine

"Nobody... touches... my.... ...oyfriend..."

Although she's 16, Catherine looks like a hormonally-challenged 12 year old, and carries herself like she knows what she's doing. Calm, mostly independent, and friendly, she hates fighting, and avoids it at all costs... unless you piss her off.

Then expect a world of pain. A very big world of pain.

  • Aura Vision - Essentially, one of her powers, Mana Sight. Though instead of just life, it shows her what magic energy various individuals are using via "auras", if they use anything superhuman; if he/she/it is a normal human/humanoid, a normal animal, or normal object in the environment, it shows up as gray outlined in white.
  • Berserk Button - Go ahead, make fun of her blindness or her boyfriend. Dooooo iiiiit....
  • Color Coded for Your Convenience - What she sees with her Mana Sight, essentially. Read above for explanation.
  • Disability Superpower - Catherine was born with a genetic disease that rendered her completely blind by her third birthday. However, when Evo's Dawn happened, her first power was the gift of Mana Sight, though, it isn't exactly a perfect replacement. Though, in some ways, it's better than what most others have.
  • Handicapped Badass - To a point, since her handicap has been sorta smoothed over by a certain power.
  • It's All My Fault - When she killed her brother on accident about a year after Evo's Dawn happened. Or did she?!
  • Little Miss Badass - See "Handicapped Badass" example. Namely when angry.
  • Non-Elemental - Essentially, Catherine's base abilities are non-elemental, although they can be charged with a natural element.
  • Power Incontinence - Most of her powers cause Cathy to lose consciousness if her concentration is broken. Or, at the least, get dizzy and light-headed.
  • Squishy Wizard - For the most part, she is this (for now), kinda.

Chad Wulf

"...If they want a piece of me, they gonna have to get it... Wanna kill me? I'll fill 'em with hot lead before they can... Wanna fear me? I'll demonstrate humans aren't better... Wanna pity me? I'll show 'em there's nothing to pity..."

Against what that quote could lead most to think, Chad is a rather friendly wolf-human hybrid, what that quote does reflect though is just how passionate and fierce he can be, especially when some touchy topics are... touched.

Chris

"Of all the things that one can learn here, ranging from standard-issue Algebra to playing the role of a millenium-old dragon convincingly, being able to predict a young lady's behavior is not one of them."

Occasionally referred to as 'that flying kid', even if his flight spell isn't all that powerful. Often seen either in the Bushido Chambers, giving a new student a tour of the campus, or occasionally giving private Magic lessons.

Claire Amalia Denigora

"Ho hum. Whatever will a poor defenseless girl like myself ever do without the help of such a strong and handsome man such as yourself?"

What's to say about this pink haired pixie? She's got beauty, she's got brains, and she's got one hell of a bust. Needless to say she'll woo the pants off any guy with her disarming appearance and seductive pheromones. Did I mention this little temptress comes with her own fan service transformation?

Delilah Cane

"There's the easy way and there's the shock-you-until-you-drop way. Your choice."

Running away from home, Delilah reaches Azura thinking everything will be all right. Of course that was until the Zombies, and the kidnappings and the explosions, and that part where they entire campus shifted to another plane of existence for a while. Not to mention her recent addiction to a certain boy/virus. Yeah, things will be all right. Sure.

  • Shock and Awe - Delilah's powers use electricity for all sort of things that probably break science
  • Static Stun Gun - Her bolt power does just this, stunning anyone hit with it momentarily.
  • Magical Defibrillator - When she brought the Gecko back to life during Limbus.
  • The Nicknamer - Most everyone will get some form of nickname from her - whether she actually uses it is another thing all together.

Euryleia or “Eury”

"I don’t like you! You’re going to get sick now. Teehee!"

Eury is an adorable fury-human hybrid whose blatant naivety and constant cheerfulness poorly hides her sociopathic tendencies and a horrible past.

  • Cheerful Child - Eury is always happy...always. Whether she is meeting a new friend or telling strangers about how her father tried to drown her...okay by cheerful, I might have meant Creepy Child.
  • Cute Monster Girl - Words should be invented to properly describe just how adorably this fury-human hybrid is…and then there’s her “fury form”
  • Love Freak – She’s happy and wants to be friends with everyone…unless she doesn’t like you.
  • Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant - Whether she’s talking about how she traps small animals so she could play with them (and) or eat them or simply looking at a person with her big black eyes and wide smile and saying these few terrifying words, "I don't like you very much," Eury is constantly providing Nightmare Fuel.
  • Selective Obliviousness - How does someone with such a sad past and clear cut issues stay so cheerful? Easy! Stay oblivious! Things would become very terrible indeed if this were to change.
  • Shapeshifting - Aww looks how cute Eury...wait a minute...what’s happening to her mouth? Is she getting taller? Oh s** t, run, I don't know what the hell that is but RUN.
  • Suspiciously Specific Denial - Whenever People tell Eury that her daddy was anything but the best father, she launches into very specific scenarios that did not happen, missing the point entirely.
  • The Pollyanna - Abuse, negligence, no school, no people, no problem! Eury will face whatever hardship comes her way with a warm smile and love...most likely.
  • Trauma Conga Line – Eury’s life before entering the twin schools was marked by consistent negligence and abuse on her father’s part.
  • Wide-Eyed Idealist
  • Yandere - You will be Eury's friend whether you like it or not! ^^

Evelyn “Evy” Thompson

Evy is an athletic 14-year-old Evo with a big smile and a bigger heart. Her powers let her vibrate, although she hasn't quite figured out how to best use them yet. She doesn't really know where she's headed in life, but she hopes it'll involve soccer...and Sevens.

  • Earn Your Happy Ending - The path to Evy and Sevens' getting together is littered with rubble, at least one corpse and one broken heart.
  • Everyone Can See It - From her first adventure with Sevens, everyone else has seemed to know they’re meant to be together.
  • Girls Love – As mentioned above, she’s Schoolgirl Lesbians with Sevens.
  • Happily Adopted - Evy loves her foster parents, and misses them deeply.
  • Ms. Fanservice - Evy and Sevens' "unintentional seductions."
  • Oblivious to Love - For the better part of a SL, she remained totally oblivious to her roommate’s feelings for her… and she remained oblivious to her own feelings for her roommate for even longer.
  • Raised by Natives - After Evy’s parents died, she was raised by a religious and conservative Jordanian family.
  • She Is Not My Girlfriend – Her conservative upbringing has forced her to constantly deny her feelings for Sevens even going as far as to get a boyfriend to reassure herself she isn’t gay.
  • Tomboy - Evy’s favorite outfit is a baggy shirt and knee-length basketball shorts.
  • Unkempt Beauty - despite putting no time and effort into her appearance, others still seem to find her beautiful.
  • What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway? – Evy vibrates. Yes, that’s her power. She vibrates.


Player Characters F - J

Hanzae

Sssssssssizzling.

"I'm sure they do pick stronger students Bessie and Sparky, in fact let's just forget the whole moral situation about sending a child directly into facing the dangerous unknown!"

A cynical freshman jerk. Eighteen years ago Hanzae's family disowned him, sold him to the government and from that point onwards Hanzae has been living a life of a medical specialist under the care of the Sasaki Household. He wanted to enter Azura and Avalon due to lack of privacy in his older life. but immediately regrets his decision doing so.

Harper

"I've heard quite a lot of possible causes for it, usually something along the lines of 'extreme epidermal photophobia', but I've always just thought of it as sudden and painful immolation. I once managed to miss a small spot on a window that wasn't blocked off entirely and was woken in the middle of the day when the back of my hand caught fire. That took months to heal, most unpleasant."

A cheerful, upbeat vampire. She's coming to the Dual Campus to finish her education, as her original academic career was cut rather short by the London Blitz, and that whole "dying" thing.

James Kingley

  • Badass Family - His entire family is a group of well trained, diverse Magi.
  • Knight in Shining Armor - Desires to be the epitome of this trope.
  • Marionette Master - He's a doll mage with a collection of bizarre little plush toys, each with their own unique personality
  • Robe and Wizard Hat - He's a mage... yeah... He doesn't have a hat though.
  • Squishy Wizard - His dolls do all his fighting and he couldn't take a punch if he wanted to.
  • Summon Magic - While he fights via the dolls, they are actually rather elaborate summoning vessels.
  • The Napoleon - He's short, he knows it, he doesn't like it when you mention it.

Player Characters K - O

Legato

It was something neither human or demon. Not only that, but it had an underlying wickedness, like it wore a mask to hide it, but could not quite conceal it all. - a description of Legato's aura as it feels to Tokine.

A homunculus created by a Corporation of Alchemist using snakes and one of their own members.


Leila St. Clair

"Be careful what you pretend to be because you are what you pretend to be." - Kurt Vonnegut

On the inside Leila is just a very sweet, but very scared 16 year old girl with the ability to sense Evos and their powers and be able to temporarily nullify them. what is she so afraid of? The other Evotellurics, or more specifically, their powers. This made her create a new facade. She needed to appear confident, aloof, and a little scary, not that that was hard for the 6'2 female. This version of herself may have had traits that Leila wished she had normally, but it was also meaner, and more violent. Unfortunately, the more she pretends, the more she changes, and not for the better.

  • Boomerang Bigot - Leila does not hate the Evotellurics, she does however fear them...a lot. This is not lessoned in the slightest by the fact this happens to be one as well.
  • Dandere - Despite the quiet, loner image she made for herself. Leila is really nice. Even to the Evos that she fears, she doesn't have anything against them, only their powers.
  • Huge Schoolgirl - At 6'2 Leila would even be considered tall for a guy, let alone a 16 year old girl.
  • Oblivious to Love - Leila isn't just oblivious to love, she is oblivious being checked, to flirting, to blatantly being hit on, she's probably oblivious to near harassment. So long as they keep their hands off of her, it all goes over her head.
  • Power Nullifier - Leila can form a field, where no Evos can use their abilities.
  • Shiny Midnight Black - Leila's black waist length hair is often described as her best feature.
  • Shipper on Deck - Leila is playing The Matchmaker for Sevens and Evy.
  • Tall, Dark and Bishoujo - Although Leila is more shy than aloof, she is how she tends to appear to strangers.
  • The Quiet One - Whether her lack of a social life early on made her quiet, or her silence made her unpopular, Leila does not talk a lot.

Leonard Kersey-Baret

You've heard the lady!

"The only thing bigger than the gun in his hand was the one in his pants. Dual gunning ftw." - Opportunity Cost when asked for a quote.

  • Americans Are Cowboys - He dresses like one, speaks like one, and comes from America.
  • Badass Gay - Yep, he's got a boyfriend, doesn't stops him from turning into a tiger or being able to punch you several times in a second.
  • Berserk Button - Do whatever you want, just... don't mess with his sister, I warned you.
  • Blond Guys Are Evil - Averted/Inverted, Leo tends to be more good than evil at least.
  • Bulletproof Vest - On request of his boyfriend, Leo got himself a bulletproof vest.
  • Determinator - Even when told it was futile, he kept trying to open a Nuke-proof curtain... And managed it.
  • Cats Are Mean - Averted, even though Leo turns into a tiger, he's more on a playful side than intentionally being mean.
  • Gay Cowboy - Of the Manly Gay kind.
  • Dumb Muscle - Averted, Leo can be often seen reading in his room and engaging in smart talks.
  • Firing One-Handed - Unorthodox as it may be, he is used to do this to present a smaller target for his opponent.
  • Fragile Speedster - His main ability makes him faster, however can't endure many hits.
  • Gentle Giant - Although there are bigger characters, and certainly stronger, Leo still has the looks to pull this role.
  • Huge Guy, Tiny Girl - Leo and Jacey, even for being twins the difference is quite marked.
  • I Know Madden Kombat - Extremely fast and extremely heavy football player... Yes, I'd fear a tackle from him.
  • Long-Range Fighter - Type 2 specifically.
  • Lovable Jock - Of the decently smart kind.
  • One Thing Led to Another - With Gina Ulrica during their vacations at a Pacific island... Needless to say, their cuddle-friend relationship changed in no way.
  • Panthera Awesome - Thanks to that Clingy MacGuffin, Leo is capable of turning into a Siberian White Tiger, and its Petting Zoo People variant.
  • Pants-Positive Safety - Justified in the fact that his jeans are designed to have dimensional pockets where the weapon is stored.
  • Revolvers Are Just Better - And if they happen to be the Dirty Harry Kind? Even better.
  • Shipper on Deck - He began suspecting Justin and Abigail were in love, and in a good part paid expenses to see them together... and coached Justin on what to do on a date.
  • Shirtless Scene - He has had some.
  • The Gunslinger - Type D, though still not at the level of intercepting bullets mid-flight.
  • Thou Shalt Not Kill - Capable of turning into a tiger, producing incredible forces through sheer speed, and carrying a revolver, Leo has yet to kill someone needlessly and without exhausting all other options, zombies of course are exempted.


Lore

A young looking ice mage who is actually older (and quite a bit stronger) than he looks. Just naive as hell.

  • Abusive Parents - Alluded that his father isn't exactly the nicest of people.
  • Break the Cutie - Will eventually happen, it's inevitable.
  • Fish Out of Water - Raised alone in a huge mansion that is antiquated, moving to the big city is definitely... interesting.
  • Older Than They Look - Lore is actually 15, but looks like he's 12. Has the mentality of a 12 year old (sometimes) but the intellect of someone who is much older. It's due to a mana induced disease, but still.
  • Raised by Grandparents - Not completely, as still had a mom, but grandmother dearest definitely was pulling the strings.
  • Slippy-Slidey Ice World - The basis of Lore's powers are, in essence, to create one and kick ass with it.

Lucas

"Wake up, Ender. And if you say anything about Oz or not being in Kansas anymore, I'm going to spend the rest of the day glaring at you and pretending I could kick your ass."

A snarky, scrawny bookworm who has yet to learn to keep his mouth shut around people capable and willing to beat him up.

Megan Kingley

A 16-year-old potions master with an extreme phobia of all things canine.

  • Badass Family - Her entire family consists of a wide range of magic users; of which, she isn't really considered one.
  • Black Sheep - Mostly because she doesn't quite fit in with the rest of her family. She's always the odd gal out and (though her parents don't consider her such) something of The Unfavorite.
  • Dumb Blonde - Averted. Her character page makes a strong point that her hair color is indicative of her hair color, not of her personality or anything else, for that matter.
  • Healing Potion - One of her most-used recipes.
  • Just Add Water - Her powers work like this... mostly because the writer is lazy.
  • Robe and Wizard Hat - Her handmade "Magic Outfit".
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes? - She has a debilitating phobia of canines, which are everywhere on the Twin Campus.


Memphis

"I'm just Old Grim's errand boy, ya see. He gave me a special body and some fancy powers, an' now I do whatever small jobs they tell me to. Sometimes he comes around and has a chat with me." -Memph explaining his job.

He's not kidding. Memphis is a ghost, who was "promoted" to serving as the Grim Reaper's apprentice. You'd never know it until he used his powers or told you, though. When he's not doing some odd job for Old Grim, he's socializing, or off on some job as a musician. More occasionally, he takes some covert mission as a mercenary. He also has to eat the life force of others to keep himself undead.

  • Alternate Character Interpretation - The "Grim Reaper" Memphis works for may very well be some other cosmic reality-warper. The details are infuriatingly sketchy. Memphis, of course, doesn't really care.
    • For Memphis' part, a social musician at peace with what he is? Or a vampiric monster who sees everyone he meets as food? A little of both.
  • Don't Fear the Reaper - Though he will gladly go after completely innocent and random people for their life force, the process is non-fatal (but extremely painful), and he isn't likely to go after you if he's been speaking to you for more than five seconds. (Unless he just doesn't like you...)
  • Our Souls Are Different - Apparently, a ghost can be, at any moment, "promoted" by the so-called Grim Reaper. Go figure.
  • Our Vampires Are Different - Technically, he is not in fact a vampire. But the similarities are obvious. He has fangs... that serve absolutely no purpose. He eats life force... via skin-to-skin contact. He can eat magic as a substitute, and light is only mildly annoying to him. He'sDracula.

Nodi of the Outer Eastern Carpathian Mountains

"I can't tell you how many times I have people call me either a wolf or a dog. Get it right people, I am a -wolfdog-. Not a wolf. Not a dog. Wolfdog. I am a mix of the best attributes of the European Wolf and German Shepherd, so get it right!"

Overall Nodi is a nice enough wolfdog, though he can act arrogant and snobbish at times. Deep down though he is very caring and loyal. Make a friend out of him and you have a friend for life. Don't try to flirt or get in cahoots with his Ari though. There will be problems if anyone tries to woo or otherwise become romantically involved in his human.

  • Animal Talk – Nodi understands all species of animals,and vice versa. Now if only the silly Two-Legs would learn to listen
  • Big Badass Wolf Dog - Best of both worlds!
  • Animals Not to Scale – He's much bigger than a single Euorpean wolf or German Shephard dog.
  • Happily Adopted – Nodi was taken in by Ari, but Nodi sees it as he took Ari in under his paws.
  • Shape Shifter – Nodi can take on human shape.
  • Deadpan Snarker – Nodi is constantly make asides that rag on Ari, humans, other species, or anyone he really cares to quip on.
  • Carnivore Confusion – Nodi rarely is seen out hunting for his own food, though has happened on occation.
  • Intellectual Animal – Has the human intellect of a senior in high school.
  • Non Human Love Interest – Reversed in this case. Nodi has it bad for the human Arikarka.

Player Characters P - T

Ryan Nevis

"I hate this place."

An ostensibly normal teenager from Chicago who also happens to have the power to transfer momentum into anything he touches. Not exactly happy with his circumstances.

Samantha "Sam" Chase

”Please don’t eat my kidneys!”

Sam is quite easily one of the most paranoid, naïve and insane individuals in school. Incredibly timid, she’s the kind of person you just want to hug and say everything’s okay. She keeps an incredible collection of hats, which act as her security blanket. She is also an incredibly powerful telekinetic…if she didn’t let her neurosis get in the way that is.

Sceler Jing

"Come closer, come closer, said the spider to the fly. The web has yet to weave, but the mind is ready to receive."

The new flirt on campus with a arrogant streak a mild wide, a butchered past, and a burdening curse. Oh, and he's hawt.

  • Blond Guys Are Evil - Sceler would sell your soul to the devil if it served him in some way, shape, or form. Sometimes for no reason.
  • Really Gets Around - However, he'll sell your body to himself for free. This time for a reason.
  • The Hedonist - While not explicitly for his own pleasure, he does truly enjoy reveling in it, and it serves him well.
  • Mismatched Eyes - Heterochromia to a somewhat muted degree, despite the very different eye colors, it's not very noticeable, unless you get right up close to him...

Sevens

"..." * grin*


A small, cute, mute and physical mage. It’s a bit hard to tell what’s on her mind.

Shireen

"To be honest, I haven't really thought about what I would do if I were free. I suppose it would be different if I were. Right now, I know everything-- well, almost everything that I bother to remember-- and I've seen everything directly through the cosmos itself. There isn't much I could think that I'd want to do. But... not being a genie anymore, I guess that would be a different thing in it's own right. All these things I know, I'd just forget. But then again-- I'd have forever to learn them all over again and first hand. I bet that would be great."

  • Benevolent Genie / Jackass Genie - There is a varied distinction between these two as Shireen tends to follow orders in accordance to her creator. This being said she can easily become one or the other based on the wisher, how they wish, and what they are wishing for. Normally, she proves to be the first, but it's hard to actually pinpoint due to the countless tragedies that have come about due to her wishing granting prowess.
  • Blow You Away - Her Djinni powers give her limited control over Air, Wind, Atmosphere and what have you.
  • Genie in a Bottle - She used to be a genie, but now she's a Djinni, but only because Our Genies Are Different.
  • Heavy Sleeper - Genies don't really have much to do with all their free time. Command over the cosmos in a small area can only entertain someone for so long. They take up sleeping right quick-- they do it so much it actually becomes something of an Achilles' Heel.
  • Manic Pixie Dream Girl - This is kind of how she wants to be around Tails (just don't tell him).
  • Not a Morning Person - For obvious reasons.
  • Our Genies Are Different - Explains itself.
  • Reality Warper - Genies are the tinkers of the universe, able to make it bend and shape at the whims of their masters. Granted, controlling this power is another thing entirely.
  • Really Seven Hundred Years Old - She was created in biblical times and is somewhere around 2,500 years old-- and boy, does she not look it.
  • Seen It All - With a connection to the cosmos, Shireen literally knew everything if she bothered to remember it, but after being freed and separated from the powers that be she only retained most of her mystical knowledge and now wants to actually SEE it all.
  • Sleepyhead
  • Super Smoke - Genies can turn into smoke... That's it. She can turn into smoke. Nothing more to see here.


Sybil

"You've gotta target on your back with my name on it. My advice? Ya better start bookin' it, ducky."


Player Characters U - Z

Zieyad Tuvai

"Well this is problematic..."

What can I say? I'm simply one of a kind!


A guy who's just about hit ever alignment a character can have. Though his looks are princely, he hides the heroism and charming qualities beneath a layer of sarcasm.

  • Battle Aura - When he goes level three, he becomes a super saiyin and he glows like a nightlight.
  • Berserker Tears - He found his biological mother was alive and totally freaked when Chad shot at her.
  • Blond Guys Are Evil - While he's good now it's hard to forget the glorious days of his past. You know...when he bullied students, punched prepubescent girls, shot at an ally's head, and killed the warden.
  • Born Lucky - Zieyad has managed to live and fight/talk his way out of scenarios people should have just perished in. For example he survived a bullet barrage from Chad Wulf.
  • Burn, Baby, Burn - While nothing symbolic to Zieyad was burned, he did burn Lucas's book at the Yule Ball
  • Face Heel Revolving Door - "I think I'll be good today, evil tomorrow, and neutral the day after. Rinse, lather, and repeat". Seriously this guy goes back and forth between good and evil like an indecisive twerp in a toy store.
  • Flash Step - Moving at speeds of 200MPH, yeah I'd say it's pretty darn close.
  • Feuding Families - House of Tuvai, nuff said.
  • Invulnerable Knuckles - For all the times he's fought with his fists, he has not once broken them.
  • Lonely Rich Kid - Before he made his heel turn to good, Zieyad (then known as Cunningham) was a lonely, evil, rich jerk ass.
  • Making Love in All the Wrong Places - Most people lose their virginity in a bed, he lost his in the library with a Petting Zoo People
  • People Puppets - Yet again at another school function, Lucas finds himself at Zieyad's mercy when he gets attached to his electric puppet strings.
  • Royally Screwed-Up - His biological parents were killed in a car crash caused by his evil androgynous and flamboyant cousin. His future step parents would treat him like he wasn't a human at all as well.
  • Self-Sacrifice Scheme - The one time he dies, and he plans it.
  • Shock and Awe - His powers are centered around electricity.
  • Someone Has to Die - Who better than him right?
  • Technicolor Eyes - Come on, don't you think his eyes are hawt?
  • These Hands Have Killed - When he killed his school's principal he broke down, cried and stared into his hands saying he was no good.
  • The Paralyzer - With his electric powers came the ability to leave people stunned in place and with limbs numb and useless.
