Elements of the Strange

[Crow]

Here's the base skeleton for the characters.

Name:
Gender:
Race: Human, or nearly anything that can hide itself as a human.
Age: Should be about the age someone should be in school
Height:

Appearance:

Abilities: Some humans have powers or gifts that they may or may not know as magical. Go ahead and make your own power, I trust the people on this board enough not to do a god power.

Personality:

Background: Try to include stuff like what grade they're in, how good of a student they are, and those sorts of details.

[Crow]

Name: Griff
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 15
Height: 5'8"

Appearance: He resembles the character L from death note to a point. Though in a town like this, not too many are bound to watch a show like that and make the connection. His brown hair is back in an anime hair style, his eyes are a green color and always seem to have no emotion behind them. He's commonly dressed with a notebook and pencil hanging around his neck to make up for a lack of a backpack, his shirt has a mushroom on the front with letters saying "Eat Me!" stamped over it. His black cargo pants are baggy and have several holes in them, and he rarely bothers to wear shoes.

Abilities: He's stronger and more intelligent than most around him, and is still unaware of why he is. Likely thinks that the family gene pool favored him. He uses his strength to be quite the acrobat.

Personality: While he does look somewhat like L, he certainly has a similar way of doing things. He is fairly distant from others, normally saying something odd during a conversation. He is constantly bored, and shows it by doing unusual things in class.

Background: He lives with his parents and has only just begun to notice the weird things going on in town. He skipped the ninth and tenth grade and is currently in eleventh and still scoring near perfect grades. He likes to spend time in the forest, just eating his sweets and hanging out in trees. He never seems to run out of candy....

I don't mean to sound stupid, but what do you mean by "Nearly anything that can hide itself as, or in, a human." ?

[Crow]

Werewolves, vampires, and elves as examples for the first part. As for the second part, there have been all sorts of nasties that have showed up throughout rps on my other sights that I'd rather not get into....Thinking it out now....It would be a bad idea to have those right now.....

There we go....edited.....

Name: Fadora Trule'
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Age: 16
Height:5'5"

Appearance:

Abilities: She does not know it yet but Fadora is a precognative dreamer. She thinks that it's only dejavu but really her dreams tell her the future. Along with precognativity she is also somewhat telepathic, it happens randomly.

Personality: Fadora is the quiet girl, although she won't admit it. She is very intellectual and softspoken. She tries never to be the center of attention.

Background: Fadora is in grade 10, but is suppose to be in grade 11, she declined. She lives with her grandmother who is very superstious, and always says the apocolypse is coming. Although her grandmother is a tad loony, Fadora understands that some of teh things she says is true. In Fadora's leisure time she is usually reading or drawing in a fort she constructed in the forest.

((Got it!))

Name: Travis Wake
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 16
Height: 5'10"

Appearance: He is counted amongst the taller student in class just having gone through a growth spurt right now. He has always been of average built but since last year he has grown thinner. He has dirty blond, short hair and black eyes. He is usually seen in a loose T-shirt and comfortable jeans and never with a bag.

Abilities: He has a photographic memory, knows it and uses it more often now to show off during lunch breaks in the cafeteria and obviously in school. Very recently he has realized that he can read people's thoughts but he doesn't know how to control it and happens rarely.

Personality: He is (now) a fun loving guy who likes to hang around his many friends. He is cheerful and a bit outspoken. He is also very knowledgeable as he loves to read and can remember everything. He is liked by almost everybody in school for the free entertainment he provides at lunch sometimes and almost everyday in class. He can mingle well with almost all groups and all classes even with people like Griff and Fadora who is his only 'classmate' from two years back.

Background: He has always been a good student owing to his memory but was not always this outgoing. His parents died in the middle of last year and his request to leave school for the year was accepted.

No one really saw him in town for almost 7 months after which he suddenly showed up at school on the date of joining for the next year. He went back to the same grade and found all new classmates except for one who he remembered to be Fadora from a few brief conversations he had had with her over the years. His personality had changed quite a bit to what it is now and people never asked a question or mentioned anything on it as they were probably afraid he might go into depression.

He is one of the people who knows there is something wrong with the forest as he had spent a lot of time in or near the edge of the forest following his parents' death. He lives with his grandfather now who is also his legal guardian till he turns 18 and gets along well with him.

(wheeeee )

Name: Meredeth
Gender: Female
Race: Human(?)
Age: ~8
Height: 3' 3"

Appearance:


Abilities: can communicate, as well as make direct contact with the deceased and certain other spirits, although it seems she, along with everyone else, doesn't know it; Meredeth 'thinks' they're real people, and everyone else thinks she has imaginary friends with eerily familiar names... She's also been reportedly able to disappear completely from sight, even in wide-open areas with no real places to hide in...

Personality: cold, prone to fits, Meredeth is a torturous little runt, well-known as the school's verbal bully, often attacking both young and old with backhanding comments, intelligently-made retorts, and snide remarks without need for incitement. However, outside of school she seems a bit more reserved, only attacking people if they come to annoy her. She definitely has her way with words, no matter what; however, upon rare occasions, she speaks little, seemingly distant, almost hypnotized by something... or someone.

Background: On the outside, Meredeth seems to be your average eight-year-old Gothic terror child with a very impressive academic record. Although highly intelligent, going to the best middle school in town, and having skipped several grades with ease, Meredeth seemingly doesn't really care much at all about school, except for the occasional enjoyment she gets from bothering the 'dumber' kids in her class with words and phrases far above their levels, and even those of some teachers in her elementary school. Currently in seventh grade, she has thus far skipped second, third, and fifth grades, and plans on passing every grade afterwards with ease.

Even with her incredible and unprecedented grade advancement, she isn't without her problems. Despite having been in town since she was a young girl of around four, no one has really seen her real parents. And even those whom she claims to be her parents are rarely seen with her, or indeed, in town at all. A few people have followed her 'home', only to lose her in the streets somewhere about half-way. On top of all this, she's never stated her last name, and her birth certificate was reportedly "lost in a fire" at her hometown. However, the place that she states as being her hometown doesn't even exist on a map, anywhere...

Some say she's just an unlucky girl with a history of misfortune. Others think she's a child of the Devil himself, although these people are more often teachers and other students rather than townsfolk, who simply see her as a distant young girl with a bright mind and very good math skills. Meredeth has been seen entering the woods at late hours of the night, not returning until the next day when she reappears to go to school again. All of these oddities only add up to make people suspicious of her, at the least...

Some of her quirks besides the aforementioned include: talking to people who aren't really 'there'; setting up 'science experiments' that often end up with angry teachers; playing pranks throughout town on random people for laughs; and calling Griff "big brother", even though he isn't, mostly because its the one thing that annoys him, but also because he's the only one who's ever been able to counter her comments with consistency.
