[spoiler=Prologue/Intro]Academy City, the great forefront of scientific development, said to be 30 years more technologically advanced than the rest of the world. It is the city of knowledge and learning, where 80% of the population are students ranging from kindergarten to university and post-grad while the rest are faculty and researchers. It is the city of the extraordinary, where people, known as espers, wield unimaginable powers. Where a single man... can face an army.

However, that is not all. There is an extraordinary new force coming to Academy City, a power that denies all logic and reason and rejects the very ideals which Academy City stands for. This force is magic. The occult. A phenomenon stemming from faith, worship and belief. Something that most once thought to be non-existent, mere fabrications, the stuff of urban legends and fairy tales.

But, Science and Magic have always conflicted over the course of history, an inevitable effect of a difference in ideology, waging a secret power struggle where neither side advances. Finally, in an attempt to create better relations and foster a better understanding between the future generation of scientists and magicians, a co-ed school was made for both espers and magicians inside Academy City. That is the Stravvgoll Institute. Espers were pulled from various schools around Academy City and magicians arrived from various corners of the world to attend this peacekeeping project.

----------

Yoshirou waited patiently backstage in the auditorium for the opening ceremony of the school to begin. He was the Student Council President of this new school, instated by the faculty on the note of multiple recommendations. In his mind, there was no one more suited to a role of such an elevated status. After all, he was Himura Yoshirou, a Level 4 Esper known as the Aegis, the public face of Judgment, the student security force, the Student Council Vice-President of his previous school and a model student and outstanding athlete who was personally invited by the administration to attend Stavvgoll Institute for his charm and composure under public pressure. He was given the responsibility to represent Academy City and give the espers a good reputation before the magicians.

Despite his a facade of calm indifference as he sat there, legs and arms crossed, Yoshirou was curious about the audience he was about to face. What were the magicians really like? Yoshirou saw a few weird ones wandering around the city, but were they all like that? But not only the magicians, but the espers, as well, were people of certain interest. Would this project succeed? Their history was one of bloodshed and retribution, of discord and dissent.

Before he could ponder more, the teacher in the corner gestured to him, cueing him that it was time for him to make his appearance. He stood up and walked over towards the stage. Flipping the curtain aside, he opened his eyes to gaze upon the first public assembly of espers and magicians alike.[/spoiler]
[hr]
[spoiler=Plot]After a long history of conflict and bloodshed, the various magical and scientific organisations have declared a truce, and to solidify this truce, a school was created in Academy City to foster the next generation of scientists and magicians with good relations with one another. You are a student pulled to attend this school, Stravvgoll Institute, whether you are an esper or a magician. Prepare to be dragged into the various plots and mishaps of Academy City, where there is always something interesting going on.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Database]Academy City
The most technologically advanced city, 30 years ahead the rest of the world. As the name may imply, it is a city of schools, where 80% of the 2.3 million residents are students, the rest being mostly faculty and researchers. City functions are mostly taken over as side jobs by students and faculty or automatic drones (from security to cleaning robots to automatic buses) due to the low number of outsiders allowed in. The city is located in an area west of Tokyo where there is constant wind, thus most of the city’s electricity is generated by the numerous wind turbines scattered and always visible throughout the city.

Academy City is governed completely by the Board of Directors, consisting of 12 members and the mysterious Board Chairman. There are also various underground organisations and a great deal of crime within the city despite all claims of security. And being the centre of science, the city is frequently under attack by organisations against science or wishing to steal their technology.

[spoiler=Magic]Magicians are people who derive their power from faith and worship. Magic uses mana, a converted form of life force, though how much mana you can possess depends how much you have trained.

Magic revolves around the Idol Theory, where the imitation of religion and myths bring it to life through magic, basically, all magic is based on religion and legends and it requires that one believes in it. This is a world where Angels, vampires and various other supernatural beings do exist though in secrecy so that even magicians do not know which exist and which do not.

Magic requires the use of magic circles, runes, objects and reagents. The advantage of magic over esper ability is the fact that a magic user can use multiple different magics where espers can only use one.[/spoiler]
[hr]
[spoiler=Espers]Espers by definition are people who undergo the Power Curriculum Program, a program where students are paid to be subjected to research experiments and develop their powers. The more powerful the esper or the more useful they are to research, the more they are paid. Most of Academy City’s students live off of this money. With the exception of a total of 50 known espers in the world, all esper abilities are brought out through the Power Curriculum Program.

Esper powers are supernatural abilities that are either related to physics or psychic powers such as telepathy. Though they break the laws of physics, they usually only break one or two and follow the rest, unlike magic which seems to ignore most laws of physics altogether.

Examples of Esper abilities include Vector Shift, the ability to manipulate all Euclidean vectors, and Electrokinesis, the ability to generate and manipulate electrons and electricity and, consequently, magnetic fields. These are some of the more powerful ones with a large variety of applications. Many are more limited and some abilities may even appear to be inferior versions of other ones.

Espers are classed into seven Levels:

Level 0: Next to no power whatsoever. 60% of the student population or 75% of the esper population are Level 0.
Level 1: Powers of the degree to bend a spoon, many students belong here.
Level 2: Barely more than Level 1, abilities still not really useful, but present.
Level 3: The degree when powers are considered convenient in everyday life, ability-wise this is the Level when one starts to be treated as part of the elite.
Level 4: Powers of an extent that their wielder acquires tactical value of a military force.
Level 5: Powers of an extent that their wielder can fight alone against a military force on equal (or greater) terms. There is a huge gap between Level 4 and 5 and there are only 7 Level 5s in Academy City. Each Level 5 has a great number of research facilities dedicated to their power.
Level 6: Immeasurable power akin to a god. No one has attained this level yet.

Esper powers are derived from an esper’s Personal Reality. One way to look at it is an esper’s delusions or imagination and an esper wills it to life. An esper can only have one esper ability and they cannot utilise magic due to their ability reacting against it resulting in blood vessels rupturing and internal bleeding.[/spoiler]
[hr]
[spoiler=Stravvgoll Institute]Rep to the first person to be able to guess the meaning behind the name. Stravvgoll Institute is a school that encompasses from primary to secondary education, though they are located in different buildings on the campus. Espers and magicians share classes except for the Power Curriculum and the magicians’ religion and magic classes. All schools in Academy City have uniforms, some schools requiring even for their students to wear the uniform even outside of school.

[hr]
[spoiler="Judgment and Anti-Skill"]Judgment is a security force comprised of students, children can join at a very early age, even in elementary school, but they must pass 13 kinds of tryouts and training (which includes going to Judgment Training Center to train) lasting for 4 months, and sign 9 contracts, before formally becoming a member of Judgment. Younger members of Judgment are partnered with older members to patrol the city, though when one reaches a certain age, a member is allowed to patrol alone or form partners with other members of the same branch. During large-scale operations, several members of Judgment of the same branch can form a group for patrols. The only uniform Judgment members have is their armband which carries the Judgment logo which they are required to wear whenever on duty.
[spoiler="Judgment Logo"]Judgment_logo.png[/spoiler]
Anti-Skill is simply the Academy City police.[/spoiler]
Technology - Feel free to have rather outrageous technology (but use common sense) and even combat suits/small mecha, but be sure to have a plausible explanation as to how you obtained such funding to get such equipment.[/spoiler]

[hr]
[spoiler=Yoshirou]Hakuren_zps46645739.jpg
“It is, of course, the duty of the strong to protect the weak.”

[hr]Personal Information
[hr]Name: Himura Yoshirou (Yoshirou is his first name), known as the Aegis
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Date of Birth: February 14
School Year: Second Year
[hr]
[spoiler=Appearance]Yoshirou is of relatively moderate height, at 6' (183 cm). He has a lean, toned build for the ladies and because of his athletic and Judgment training. He is very handsome, with an angular, bishounen face, sly-looking fox-like eyes and a truly charming smile. His hair, worn in a ponytail and slung over his left shoulder (as shown), is naturally brown but he dyed it blond to contribute to his image.[/spoiler]
[hr]
[spoiler=Personality]Yoshirou acts as if he were some sort of knight or lord from the medieval ages, speaking very formally, acting very high-and-mighty and speaking often of things like honor and debts. Always keeping a calm demeanor, he comes off as cool to other people and his eccentricities simply become thought of as something ordinary people would never understand. He is very polite to girls, as he always tries to win them over. Slightly flirtatious, he imitates medieval knights in that he kisses the hand of any girl that somewhat perks his interest.

Having always come out on top in terms of grades and athletics, Yoshirou is quite confident of himself, his charm and his aura of confidence draws others towards him. He greatly enjoys power, always trying to get everyone under his thumb and refer to him with the honorific -sama (saying it's mutual respect, when he doesn't return any respect). On a regular basis, he orders his classmates around and when asked why he doesn't do something himself, he smugly replies that everyone has a part to play and he has already done his part, referring to his work as a Judgment officer. The way he phrases things and/or engineers situations makes people look bad if they don't do as he intends. He is extremely persistent and gets greatly annoyed when things don't go his way.
 
Despite his act of coolness and status as a role model, Yoshirou can be rather immature and childish, with a rather mean temper that he keeps under control in public but lets loose when he's alone or with Isamu and Isamu would often have to restrain him or calm him down.

When someone is in danger or is hurt, Yoshirou will not hesitate to leap into action, calling it his noblesse oblige. He is willing to risk his life to save others, even people he doesn't know. When it comes down to a choice between his life and another's, unless it is someone truly despicable, he will choose theirs over his own. Yoshirou's wish is to "protect everyone".[/spoiler]
[hr]
[spoiler=Abilities]Yoshirou is a Level 4 Esper with the unique ability known as Aegis, from which he gets his nickname. It is the ability to make an object unaffected by outside forces such as heat, gravity or interaction with a specific material, element or compound, by coming into contact with it. Yoshirou can only make an object unaffected by up to two things at a time, for example, he can make a baseball unaffected by gravity and air resistance or he is able to make his clothing unaffected by lead, thus making his clothes bulletproof.

His weaknesses are that he cannot defend against something of an unknown material, however, once he touches something, he can recognize the material, he cannot make himself unaffected by things and also this ability greatly drains his stamina making him only be able to use it for up to 10 minutes without breaks.

To use with his ability, Yoshirou carries around sharp and ornately carved double-edged wooden longsword, dubbed Excalibur, as equipment worn on his belt. It is razor sharp and when Yoshirou applies his ability to it, there is no worry of it breaking and it is able to shear through stone.[/spoiler]
[hr]
[spoiler=Other Info]Yoshirou is a member of Judgment, and is the speaker whenever Judgment needs to address the public. Due to this, he is very well-known throughout Academy City. He is a model student and athlete. Yoshirou supposedly comes from a very rich family, former Japanese nobility, who were wiped out by an unknown organisation when Yoshirou was too young to remember. He grew up in an orphanage.[/spoiler][/spoiler]
[hr]
[spoiler=Isamu]200px-Saruhiko_Fushimi_Tattoo.png
"Optional quote from your character"
[hr]Personal Information
[hr]Name: Akiama Isamu (Isamu is his first name)
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Date of Birth: August 9
School Year: Second Year
[hr]
[spoiler=Appearance]2v85q2r.jpg
Isamu stands at a tall 193 cm. He has a thin build but is deceptively strong.[/spoiler]
[hr]
[spoiler=Personality]Outwardly, Isamu is an easy-going, approachable person. He is very modest and always tries to draws attention to others rather than to himself, he has an unassuming personality directly in contrast with Yoshirou, and acts like he's unconfident, except in serious situations where he really takes control. Isamu is very clever and calculative, always planning ahead and always having a contingency plan. Isamu greatly admires Yoshirou for his courage, though he is not very willing to put his life in great danger for the sake of another. If the odds of success of a mission are below 50%, he will be unwilling to take the risk. However, he has a great sense of justice and a clear mind to not be detracted from his path.
 
Isamu has a light sense of humor and is very sensitive of other people's feelings, doing his best not to offend anyone and cleaning up any offense Yoshirou may have given anyone and smoothing things over. He acts like an optimist knowing that looking on the bright side allows people to perform better but really, he has a pessimistic view on situations.[/spoiler]
[hr]
[spoiler=Abilities]Isamu is a Level 1 Electromaster, meaning he can create small electrical sparks but nothing more than that, though he is highly resistant to electric shocks. However, Isamu is extremely perceptive and knowledgeable about espers and esper powers, he is very cunning and good with software and hardware, all making up for his lack of supernatural ability. Isamu makes sure to always research his opponent if possible and set up a battlefield of his choosing. As equipment, Isamu carries around dual shock batons to take care of criminals when on Judgment duty.[/spoiler]
[hr]
[spoiler=Other Info]He is a member of Judgment. His friendship with Yoshirou go back very far when they were only trainees in Judgment. Ever since Yoshirou saved him in a particular incident, Isamu has always followed Yoshirou as his faithful servant and adviser. More specifically, he sets everything up and works behind the scenes so that everything runs smoothly for Yoshirou.[/spoiler][/spoiler][/spoiler]

[spoiler=hollowXcross/Gin Kagemaru]0a32a4014851fd1032c55f13752d75b1.jpeg
“Most people are like shadows, they vanish when the light goes out. It’s a shame really… because that's when the fun starts! ”

[hr]Personal Info
[hr]Name: Gin Kagemaru/ Lancelot 
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Date of Birth: October 22
School Year: 2nd High school
[hr]
[spoiler=Appearance] Gin has a slim but surprisingly muscular build, standing at 5’10 he is about the average size for a kid his age. On His chest, and upper body Gin has branded a large amount of occult tattoos, which is the primary source of his magic. These runes all bare the mark of the ouroboros, which is the main symbol used for his school of magic.[/spoiler]
[hr]
[spoiler=Personality] Gin has a very sarcastic and upbeat personality, often using honorifics, along with nicknames as ways to mock people.  He believes that the world is run by the strong, and that there is no reason to follow the orders of somebody weaker then himself. With that being said, he is still not above taking advice from others, and rarely underestimates people, though it may appear so.  Gin also enjoys conflict be it physical or otherwise, which often leads him to play pranks, or even bait others into fights in order to “Make things Interesting” . Gin is also very social, often making an effort to meet “Fun” people in order to keep him entertained. Though once he deems someone boring, he becomes extremely dismissive, sometimes even ignoring them completely. He is also very whimsical, often finding fun in the most obscure things, making his nickname "Lancelot" very ironic.
Though he is a trouble maker, Gin is still willing to help those in need, often even insisting if he deems the situation interesting.[/spoiler]
[hr]
[spoiler=Abilities] Gin makes use of a magic called Umbra Dei donum (Shadow Gods gift). He is able to cast this magic through the use of his tattoos, which serve as runes. Umbra Dei Donum grants him the power to solidify shadows, and manipulate them as he sees fit. He is able to bend shadows to be razor sharp, or as hard as steel in an instant making them a very versatile weapon.  Once he is manipulating a shadow, it becomes an extension of himself, allowing him to see through it, and even sense if something is stand on it. This also serves as a weakness, because the more shadows he manipulates, the more of he is spreading or dividing his conciseness. 
 
Umbra Dei donum’s most critical weakness is the fact that it is useless if there is no shadows to control, making fights in such areas impossible. Another notable flaw is the fact that Gin must be connect with a shadow in order to manipulate it, but this is normal remedied by him extending his own shadow into the intended target. When unable to use his magic, his weapon of choice is a combat knife that he usual keeps on his person. During fight, Gin tends to stick to close range, using the shadows to create openings.[/spoiler]
[hr]
[spoiler=Other Info]
-Gin is known around Academy city for being a trouble maker, but for some reason is well like by the elderly.
-He is unsure which organization he intends to join, but will decide on which one displays the most interesting members.
-You can tell if you sparked his interested when you receive a nick-name.
-His shadow tends to move to convey his true emotions, such as flaring when he's angry, and even dancing around in a mocking fashion when he is harassing people.
-He seems to always have his headphones on.[/spoiler][/spoiler]

[spoiler=The Principal][hr]Personal Information
[hr]Name: Frederic Illustria, "the Illustrious Erlking"
Age: 157
Gender: Male
Date of Birth: June 21
[hr]
[spoiler=Appearance]Suou-Mangaka-howls-moving-castle-animeki
Frederic is 5'5" (165 cm) tall, however, he enjoys hovering 1 foot off the ground. Frederic refuses to wear modern clothing.[/spoiler]
[hr]
[spoiler=Personality]Frederic shows not a hint of care to any other being in the world. He is vain and self-centred though he keeps to himself most of the time, wandering the world for his own interests answering to no one. Frederic naturally makes people uncomfortable, fearful or disgusted, his gaze and his actions show complete disrespect for human life. He is utterly ruthless, willing to sacrifice as many as he feels like to accomplish his goals.[/spoiler]
[hr]
[spoiler=Abilities]Through some forbidden ritual, Frederic transcended the boundaries between humanity and fey and thus managed to retain eternal youth and receive a lifespan much longer than ordinary humans. Though capable of nearly all magics, his forte is illusion magic or glamour, the art of influence. Being partially fey, he has no need for any sort of preparation except when he casts a lingering illusion, which he simply places a sticker onto the area where he will create the illusion. As one of the most powerful mages in the world no one can completely see through his illusions. Frederic also uses a large variety of magical poisons and venoms in his arsenal and wields a ceremonial dagger to apply them.[/spoiler]
[hr]
[spoiler=Other Info]Frederic Illustria played a major part in the formation of the Stravvgoll Institute and he is the overseer for this project. His reasons are yet to be revealed to the main characters.[/spoiler][/spoiler][/spoiler]

[hr]MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT
We are now following a revised Blu's posting routine.

I will mark GM posts by their location. It's a split up Blu's routine, which GM post refreshes your posting ability depends on your location. For example, The Golem Battlefront GM posts would allow everyone outside the stadium to post again, where as the Duel Stadium GM posts would allow Keto, Gin and people to post again. Shifting locations is not a problem, it will work out even if you change locations, you simply start following that location's GM post from there on.

[hr]If you have any questions feel free to ask below or PM me. If you are interested, feel free to reserve.

So whatever happened to Twisted;Reality? Is that one good as dead?

 

I'll reserve a spot, since I might consider joining. That, or just leaving the site.

Yeah. Didn't you already say your farewell to that?

 

Reserved. Both of you.

I'm planning to join - I even have one character plotted out and a second being designed.

 

But espers in the related series seem to all be Japanese... of which I have no experience naming.

I spent 10 minutes naming my character by simply searching up names and meanings... though I suppose the names of anime characters are usually unique, huh?

 

We do need some magicians here too :3

Don't worry one's a magician.  Specifially, he embodies the idea that 'objects have souls' and draws his magic from otherwise mundane items he has prepared.  As such, he's also a bit of a klepto, as he has a vague sense of what object provides what magic at a touch.

 

The esper is basically a 'living battery', able to provide energy to anything she touches, living or otherwise (which has some interesting implications for herself).  She uses technological weapons that she powers herself, like lasers and mass drivers, but she is useless without her gear.

...

 

Of course, for names, we don't NEED to use anything Japanese-esque, correct?

Nah, as long as you explain why you don't have one though (e.g. have weird parents or you're a... foreign transfer student, foreign Gemstone, magician, tourist or you just live in Japan for some reason) ... I could always help you find one.

[spoiler=Chronix Aliaster]

 

necromancer_rhanloo_by_anndr-d3bedov_zps

“There's nothing more satisfying than the power of magic. And if your body is in-tuned with the magic realm, your are in-tuned to unimaginable power.”

[hr]Personal Information
[hr]Name: Chronix "The Arcane Body" Aliaster
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Date of Birth: February 13
School Year: Third year
[hr][spoiler=Appearance][spoiler=]necromancer_rhanloo_by_anndr-d3bedov.jpg[/spoiler]

In his normal state, Chronix has a white Caucasian skin tone, with dark black hair and grey eyes. In his arcane-state, his skin and hair become white, and his eyes become golden.

His body is 6' 2" and fairly skinny. His arms are covered with arcane sequences and circle rituals, which are in turn covered with black arm sleeves. He wears a few magical pendants that assist him in his magical abilities. Outside of his school uniform, he wears his ceremonial attire of dark robes, keeping in tradition to his beliefs of magic. The magic sequences on his arms are known to change within time - which may increase to other parts of the body - although, they are actually only able to change through his mediation and ritual practices.

[/spoiler]
[hr]
[spoiler=Personality]Quite typically the loner and also very quiet, Chronix experiences a dissocial personality disorder. Showing no regard for others, he believes that society hinders his research and studious aspirations to attain synchronization with the magical realm. However, he can easily establish relationships with others, in hopes to obtain his goals. He refuses to share his past with anyone he doesn't know, or with anyone he doesn't care to know. Rather, he doesn't like sharing his past with anyone, [acronym=This will change with character development]regardless who they are.[/acronym] While he believes that people are generally useless to him, he figures he could possibly make some use of them somehow, and will accept some sort of invitation from those whom he thinks are worth befriending, as he likes to choose his friends wisely.

 

He is seen often carrying around several books and scrolls, and can be seen writing down notes in journals and scrolls as well. His work area(s) are seen often cluttered with his books, scrolls, notes, and other magical items. His attendance to his classes may be perfect, however, he rarely pays attention to classes that he believes are of insignificance to him, such as Gymnastics, for example; instead, he pays close attention to classes that relate to magical studies, Idol Theory, etc. Although keen to not believing in religious aspects of magic, he believes in the though of a realm of magic, which governs all the magical forces in the world.[/spoiler]

[hr]
[spoiler=Abilities]The magical sequences on his arms are each separated according to the magic that is used, while they are also linked intricately so that they can be used together to create some sort of new magic. However, these sequences can change, enabling new techniques and attacks; these sequences can only change through meditation and his devotion to the magic realm.

Current abilities (basic attacks):

  • Fire - Sequenced on his right arm (S.o.R. Arm), his fire attacks are of basic level, shooting fireballs.
  • Lightning - S.o.R. Arm, his lightning attacks are only able to cause minor paralysis and are fairly weak on damage.
  • Air - S.o.B. Arms, his air elements are used as speed and evasion.
  • Earth - S.o.L. Arm, the earth sequence is used on his body for strength and durability, allowing to sustain himself in fights.
  • Water - S.o.L. Arm, the water is used to help allow swift and fluid movements.
  • Spirit* - S.o.B. Arms, this isn't used with his spirit (yet), but instead applies itself to combining his basic sequences into creating slightly more powerful techniques and attacks.

Note: The sequences are primarily sequences on designated arms, but because of how they're sequenced, they are technically on both arms. In time, these abilities can change, so I will try and frequently edit as much as I can.

 

Magia Emprowus: Chronix switches to his heightened mode, making his abilities fully utilized and at full power (appearance mentioned in Appearance); when Chronix reverts to his more human state, his power are hindered/weakened and he appears more human per se.

[/spoiler]
[hr]
[spoiler=Other Info]He dislikes the intentions of joining organizations or clubs, especially if they don't assist him in attaining his aspirations.

He enjoys symphonic and operatic compositions. (Example: Mozart, Beethoven)

He is a foreign magician from Europe, searching for knowledge.

Ironically, his name can roughly translate to: "Constant Defender of Mankind" [Chronix -> chronic: habitual, constant, repetitive / Aliaster -> Alister: Gaelic form of Latin Alexandrus, meaning "defender of mankind."]

He is masquerading as high school student, while 'aiding' a teacher. He does appreciate the knowledge that being an aid provides, though dislikes it.

[/spoiler]
[hr]

[/spoiler]

 

I'm sure you realize that you forgot to add the History section, unless it's intended to be left out. But that's what I have for now, I'll be making changes when I think of something.

And it's not like I intend for my character to be a bad guy or anything.

 

EDIT: Forgot to add something about his heightened state.

 

[spoiler=Dani Septim]
Ezrealfull1394767_zps8f0f73b9.jpg?t=1372
“The magic of science, the science of magic. The two are interchangeable, the two are one.”

[hr]Personal Information
[hr]Name: Dani "Cyber Mage" Septim (The Cyber Mage title has yet to apply to him, as it is unsure if he will be a Magician or Esper)
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Date of Birth: June 4th
School Year: Second year
[hr][spoiler=Appearance]
An even 6' tall character, Dani has a fairly slim but toned body. While the rest of his body seems natural, only his right arm is robotic. The 'shell' is made up of several layers, the top being made of Silicon (Si), while the middle layer is made of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs), and the bottom layer, which supports the whole shell of the arm is made of Titanium Diboride (TiB2); the rest of the arm is well protected by the shell, but is very sensitive to [acronym=For example, if a shard somehow gets underneath the shell, and cuts a certain wire, that could reduce the speed of the finger movements, which could be detrimental in the future, possibly making the fingers unable to move at all]external sources[/acronym]. While his prosthetic is white, his skin is sort of pinkish from being in the outside for sometime, though he has started to recently stay inside. (Face is shown in the picture).
 
Dani has a peculiar sense of style, and wears whatever type of clothing he wants to wear. One day he could be wearing business attires, and the next he could be wearing punk clothing, casual t-shirt and ripped jeans, or the most insane metalhead gear you can imagine. Sometimes, he'll even cosplay as a Viking or Medieval Knight for sh*ts and giggles on a whim and dare. But he won't wear girl's clothing. No matter what.
[spoiler=Right Arm]
Cybernetic_Arm_by_Ragaru.jpg
[/spoiler][/spoiler]
[hr][spoiler=Personality]
While he does enjoy being outside and with people, there are times where Dani wishes to be left alone. Whenever Dani is with people or outside, he can be really outgoing and fun, and doesn't really care about his studies or whatever happens outside his area, as long as he's with his friends or with people, he'll have the time of his life; he can be thought of someone who is really easy to get along with and can establish a strong relationship with someone. However, whenever he wants to be left alone, he generally enters a study habit and doesn't wish to be disturbed unless it's something very important. He often studies machines and technology, and see how science and magic can truly come together, and not just momentarily, but permanently.
 
Being that he is a new student at the school, and therefore doesn't know anyone, he doesn't know how to respond to other students, since this is a magic and esper school, people who have powers, while he does not. Because of his lack of power against anyone, he will try and steer clear from anyone unless they make the first move. Because of his transfer to the new school, he will most likely develop some sort of paranoia or anxiety, believing that someone will try and attack him from behind, perhaps even killing him. That being said, he is already afraid of [acronym=While riding a car with friends inside the city, they started to drive inside the tunnel. Being that the tunnel has a limited space, the tunnel's lights soon shut off without notice. Though there was some visibility, Dani could see the cars coming from other directions because of low visibility; he saw one car coming from ahead, and Dani jumped out of the car to try and escape death. Although escaping the car that would no doubt crash, he didn't see another car coming from a different direction. Barely moving out of the way, the car only crushed his right arm, and crashed into the wall. His arm still trapped, he had to try and escape to survive. The car soon had an engine problem, and gave a small explosion. Granted, Dani was able to survive the explosion, but not without the cost of his arm. The force of the explosion forced him away from his death. Bloody, beaten, and losing a limb, the lights came back on...]death[/acronym], after his accident, and will try whatever it takes to survive, perhaps even abandoning the area. However, he also has a guilty conscience that conflicts his desire for survival, and will sometimes will stand there not knowing what to do until he decides for himself, usually to a fault.

 
His lifetime enjoyment is fiddling with technology and machines, seeing what makes things tick and work. While he does love taking apart things, he loves making new things out of it. Because of this, he also thought about synthesizing magic and science together, creating more possibilities for a better future. He will always do a daily check-up on his prosthetic to make sure it's in 100% condition, so he doesn't wander into a disagreement with a nearly broken arm, so to speak. He will focus more on his [acronym=This is possibly due to the accident that occurred earlier in his life time, seeing as how technology failed his at that moment in his life, which impacted his future, possibly thinking that technology is faulted to an extent, and that utilizing magic and science together can change that.]studies and research[/acronym] than actual human contact however.[/spoiler]

[hr][spoiler=Abilities]
Dani doesn't have any abilities. The only thing considered as a combat advantage is that he has a robotic arm that's incredibly durable and provides a defense, and his somewhat athletic build. While he has no actual combat, esper, or magical abilities, he does have superb technology maintenance skills and does have modern day science knowledge to his advantage, possibly aiding allies and hindering enemies. Eventually down the line, he may get upgrades on his prosthetic, which could enable some sort of combative ability, but also provide more efficient defense.[/spoiler]
[hr][spoiler=Other Info]
Dani is a transfer student who came from the U.S., after losing his arm in a terrible accident. After coming to Japan, he was able to achieve this arm as a prototype to an upcoming prosthetic model line, and regularly sends in reports to them.
He doesn't know what to do while he is at the Institute, but considered joining Judgment or Anti-Skill, but feels that he probably wouldn't make it.
His arm is made of real elements and materials, but his upgrades could be made of fictional materials.[/spoiler][/spoiler]

Well... I think I'm ready. I'm thinking of making her twin brother a trap. Will that be allowed?

[spoiler=Tsubaki Kotobuki]
“You can run, but you can't hide!”

[hr]Personal Information
[hr]Name: Tsubaki Kotobuki (aka Radar Duo while with her brother, alone, she is known as the Loli Temptress)
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Date of Birth: 7 July
School Year: 2nd Year Middle School
[hr][spoiler=Appearance] Tsubaki has a petite body of 1.4 metres. Her medium-length black hair has an ahoge(think of Last Order hair thingy) sticking out of it, which tends to move about while she uses her ability. Her eyes are a shimmering demonic red, which gives those she gazes upon a sense of fear. With her pale, white complexion, some may fear that they might have seen a ghost. She is completely flat-chested and lacks curves, and her limbs are pretty slender. She wears black shoes and white headphones with black infinity emblems on them. There are no wires attached to these headphones.[/spoiler][hr][spoiler=Personality]Tsubaki, along with her brother, are what you would call 'serious problem children'. She is a mischievious troublemaker who makes virtually nothing but trouble. She really loves messing with people and flirting with them, male or female alike. Once she clings onto you, she will hardly let go. Along with her brother, she enjoys playing tricks that will piss people off to the ends of the world.
Despite her awful annoyance, she can be said to be a hero. Provided anyone wants to ally with her, she will do anything in her power to protect them. She is a cheapskate, and will always seek money. Despite being easily bribed to a minor extent, she knows her limits and actually has common sense. [/spoiler][hr][spoiler=Abilities]Tsubaki is a Level 3 AIM Stalker. She can easily turn this ability on and off. She is getting rather close to Level 4.
Her ability allows her to detect Espers within range. She can detect Level 5s from 300 metres away, Level 4s from 200 metres away, Level 3s from 100 metres away and Level 2s from 50 metres away. Level 1 or lower Espers, or Magicians are undetected. She can also read the AIM field of an Esper. Due to her vast knowledge, she can recognise numerous Esper abilities based on their AIM field. Of course, she knows a lot, but she doesn't know everything. She can remember abilities based on AIM field, but for now, she finds it difficult to distinguish any two AIM fields belonging to Espers of the same ability.
Also, when a Level 5 or higher enters her range of detection, she begins to spasm until she 'switches off' her ability. If 2 Level 5s are present, she will faint from overload.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Other Information]Boys and girls, magicians and espers will tend to avoid her not because of power, but because of irritation, especially if she is accompanied by her brother. That is, unless, they really need the Radar Duo to help them.
I do not reccomend you mocking her chest.
By paying her and her brother 500 yen per hour each, they will help you out with your task.
She is armed with a traditional steel katana and a stun gun.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Gin Kagemaru ]

0a32a4014851fd1032c55f13752d75b1.jpeg

“Most people are like shadows, they vanish when the light goes out. It’s a shame really… because that's when the fun starts! ”

 

[hr]Name: Gin Kagemaru/ Lancelot  

 

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Date of Birth: October 22

School Year: 3rd High school

 

 [hr][spoiler=Appearance] Gin has a slim but surprisingly muscular build, standing at 5’10 he is about the average size for a kid his age. On His chest, and upper body Gin has branded a large amount of occult tattoos, which is the primary source of his magic. These runes all bare the mark of the ouroboros, which is the main symbol used for his school of magic.[/spoiler]

[hr]

[spoiler=Personality] Gin has a very sarcastic and upbeat personality, often using honorifics, along with nicknames as ways to mock people.  He believes that the world is run by the strong, and that there is no reason to follow the orders of somebody weaker then himself. With that being said, he is still not above taking advice from others, and rarely underestimates people, though it may appear so.  Gin also enjoys conflict be it physical or otherwise, which often leads him to play pranks, or even bait others into fights in order to “Make things Interesting” . Gin is also very social, often making an effort to meet “Fun” people in order to keep him entertained. Though once he deems someone boring, he becomes extremely dismissive, sometimes even ignoring them completely. He is also very whimsical, often finding fun in the most obscure things, making his nickname "Lancelot" very ironic.

Though he is a trouble maker, Gin is still willing to help those in need, often even insisting if he deems the situation interesting.[/spoiler]

 

 [hr]

[spoiler=Abilities] Gin makes use of a magic called Umbra Dei donum (Shadow Gods gift). He is able to cast this magic through the use of his tattoos, which serve as runes. Umbra Dei Donum grants him the power to solidify shadows, and manipulate them as he sees fit. He is able to bend shadows to be razor sharp, or as hard as steel in an instant making them a very versatile weapon.  Once he is manipulating a shadow, it becomes an extension of himself, allowing him to see through it, and even sense if something is stand on it. This also serves as a weakness, because the more shadows he manipulates, the more of he is spreading or dividing his conciseness. 

 

Umbra Dei donum’s most critical weakness is the fact that it is useless if there is no shadows to control, making fights in such areas impossible. Another notable flaw is the fact that Gin must be connect with a shadow in order to manipulate it, but this is normal remedied by him extending his own shadow into the intended target.When unable to use his magic, his weapon of choice is a combat knife that he usual keeps on his person. During fight, Gin tends to stick to close range, using the shadows to create openings  p[/spoiler]

 

 

[hr]

[spoiler=Other Info]

-Gin is known around Academy city for being a trouble maker, but for some reason is well like by the elderly.

-He is unsure which organization he intends to join, but will decide on which one displays the most interesting members.

-You can tell if you sparked his interested when you receive a nick-name.

-His shadow tends to move to convey his true emotions, such as flaring when he's angry, and even dancing around in a mocking fashion when he is harassing people.

-He seems to always have his headphones on.[/spoiler]
