[ ~ Story ~ ]

Hello, and welcome to the Academy of the Rose, one of the most prestigous and well-known schools throughout the country. A school of dreams, a mysterious place, and where one works hard to feel accomplished, students come from around the country to study here and acheive whatever they wish. It has everything that a person could desire ranging from a wonderful library to comfortable dorm rooms, but it also holds a tale to it. An old, twisted tale told at night to scare small children, to worry parents, but most of all to...entice students and make them wonder. They come not only for studying, but also for the thrill of murders and secrets of a power held within the school. You see, it is rumor that the school holds an object of unspeakable power, which so happens to be in the form of a rose. Now, many students have died at the school, and one is about to occur yet again. The tale behind tells that if a student learns too much about the said rose or even sees it, they are immediately killed in fear of anyone else discovering it. It passes on only in whispers, and anyone who hears it gets pulled into the game of hide-and-kill at the school. Not one person knows exactly what the rose does, but some say it can give you unlimited knowledge, or even the ability to read minds. I give you warning; be careful. The walls have eyes and ears, and even some of the students and teachers are spies for whomever possesses this object. Privacy is somewhat limited, and trust is not easily found. Will you try and solve the mystery and put an end to the murders, or will you yourself get killed in the process? The choice is yours.

01. Username: [.Siphon.Feather.]
Character Name: Alexa Kabrick
Age: 17
Year: Third
Personality: Quiet. Studious. A bookworm, considered so by those around her and by herself. It was her dream and is her dream to graduate from one of the most studious and highly regarded academies in the country, and thus spends most of her time reading books in the library, studying quietly. Obviously not the gossipy type, Alex does her best to ignore what others are saying around her, and shies away from those who try to include her in on a conversation. Shyness is her first and pretty much her only outstanding quality, and is obvious to those around her, for she does not have many friends, and very few close ones. She can also be kind, helping those in need and defending when they are teased. Ever since she had come to the school, her curiousity has shown itself as well, mostly revolving around the mysterious rose of the school. With each murder and story, she has become more and more curious, and now spends part of her free time trying to learn more about it, to answer one question. What does it do?
Bio: As a young child, Alex had always dreamed of growing up and studying at some sort of famous school known throughout the country. She worked hard in her studies, and recieved excellent grades, as most would want to happen to them. She did even more so after her mother passed away, having promised to both she and her mother that she would get into her destined school, which was the Academy of the Scholar Rose. Excited, Alex immediately began planning when she would arrive, how her room would look, and miscellaneous things like that. When the time came for her to move into her dorm room and see the school for the first time, a murder occurred within the first few days of school. It was a mystery to her, and all she heard was stories of a rose that was supposed to hold some sort of special power. Then and there did her curiousity grow, and she began to peer into the mystery while several more murders occurred, each with the same reason. Although she wasn't the only curious student, she happened to learn that she, along with eleven other new students were being pulled into something, and that danger was present inside the school. Now a junior, she is continuing her search, finding more answers, and hopefully getting closer to solving the mystery of the rose.
Appearance: Alexa
Classes: Humanities, Asian Studies, French, Chemistry, and Calculus.
Dorm Room: One
Other: Alex is always found with her nose in a book, exploring, or drawing outdoors. There is never a time that she doesn't carry a notebook, in which she uses to write down miscellaneous things.

02. Username: Shinju_Megami
Character Name: Rain Tahira Bellemont
Age: 16
Year: Second
Personality: Rain's personality runs hot and cold, eccentric to a degree that keeps her outside the 'popular' loop. Chock full of useless facts, she's not above inserting a random comment about say... the lifespan of a chinchilla into the conversation, no matter the strange looks she might get. She devours knowledge with the voracity of a starving third world child encountering their first buffet. She's smart, engimatic, and oftentimes confusing but that in no way detracts from her cheery nature. On the flip side, her happy naivete evaporates when it comes time to buckle down and study or concentrate on a serious matter, making her an almost completely different person. She becomes cool and detached, a strategist and scientist. Rain can also be vicious when something (or someone) she loves is threatened. Smart as she is however, Rain has a tendency to be dense when it comes to real life and common sense.
Bio: Rain doesn't have parents. Well, technically she did at one point but they were dead long before she began forming memories. She has been under the care of her great-aunt Magda all her life, her parents having taken a fatal, final trip to Spain shortly after she was born. A crazy old bag but hardy and practical, in spite of her odd ways, Magda, acts as an entire family to Rain. She has some old-fashioned ideas about what ladies should and should not do as well as the way people of their 'caliber' are expected to carry themselves. To be blunt, Magda is old money and feels that Rain should be raised in the manner in which she was accustomed. However, Magda was always the black sheep of the family as well... Spewing tradition but practicing little of it. She has never tried to stop her great-niece from doing as she pleases. As such, Rain grew up happy and privileged and became quite the opposite of what she has heard of her parents. They were stiff, upper-crust snobs... marrying for convenience and blue-blood pride. Rain and their subsuquent trip were last ditch efforts to save their always rocky marriage. Rain doesn't think much of it though. She doesn't mourn her parents; they are strangers to her. Rather, she likes to think Auntie Magda (and maybe a benevolent god) saved her from a loveless life. Rain has always wanted to come to the academy and her intelligence, along with Magda's financial support garnered her a position.
Appearance: Small and delicate, Rain has the look of a fey child with her soft features and her emotive almond shaped eyes. She has a very youthful appearance, slender and standing at not quite 5’4” with soft honey-hued skin. Pale, ash-blond hair sweeps past her shoulders in messy waves and often falls into her brilliant blue eyes. Rain’s face has a sweet, demure look to it, which can be misleading when one is trying to gauge her strengths or intentions. Rain
Classes: Enriched English, Calculus, Anatomy/Physiology, Japanese, and World Studies.
Dorm Room: One
Other: She feels rather guilty about Aunt Magda's donation to the school shortly before acceptance. Rain does not speak of it as most (including herself) would consider that buying a spot.

03. Username: Mika252
Character Name: Lumina Éclair (Lum for short)
Age: 17
Year: Third
Personality: Lum is a bundle of energy ready to go off and explode at any second, much like iodine crystals when mixed with zinc powder and a drop of water is added. She always seems to be moving, or seeks different things to do. She hates sitting down and doing nothing, and constantly twitches if forced to. Lum is also know to be fairly nosy at times. It’s not because she loves gossip, but more of the fact she cares for her friends. She noses into their business to make sure they’re all happy and such, but off course, this doesn’t always go over well. Lum is very curious, of anything. Her response to the old saying “Curiosity killed the cat,” is, “Yeah, well, it’s thanks to curiosity that we discovered the world is not flat.” She loves exploring outside, and anything she can get her hands on.

Now, Lum is a fairly interesting person to hang around, but she’s not the person to go to for compliments or sugar coating. She’s blunt, very, very blunt. If you suck, she will tell you that. If you stink, she’ll let you know. If you’re annoying her, she’ll try to bash your head in. If you make any snide remarks on her height, she’ll smile very sweetly, and then either kick you where it hurts, kick you in general, make a snide remark back, or throw something at you.

Though Lum moves around a lot, if something doesn’t catch her interest, she won’t even mention it. If something is boring to her, she won’t lift a single finger to do whatever it is. When she gets angry, the saying “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned” describes her perfectly. There’s a difference between annoyance and anger, and both are very obvious. If she’s mad at you, she won’t hesitate to try to beat to you a pulp, by whatever mean necessary. If you end up being burnt to a crisp, it won’t matter to her as long as she sees you in pain. While in this mood, it takes Lum a while to calm down and burn out, which could be a while. On the areas of love, she tends to be oblivious to the male and female gender alike. She’s straight, but she has no interest, yet. If she does fall in love however; she falls in love with a passion. If someone does manage to win her heart, she will devote herself to seeing that person happy, if they are unfaithful, castration seems like a gentle punishment.

Bio: Lum seemed to have the perfect life. She was born to a poor family at first. This did not last long. When she was five years old, her father won the lottery. He started up his own computer company, the Eclair Corporation. Their computers were a huge hit, and almost all house holds held one. The nobody Eclair had become a huge giant among men. Of course, with money comes certain problems. Drawn into the world of the rich, Damien Eclair began to neglect his family, often burying himself in work. Lumina, known as Lum to close friends and family, saw her father grow further and further away. And then one day, it happened. Her parents got divorced when she was eight. Her mother couldn’t stand her father anymore, and packed up and left. She left Lum behind with her father.

Lum did brilliantly in school, and of course, being rich, she went to the best private schools, and yet, she didn’t feel complete. Her father was always working, and cared so much about his image nowadays. Known as the “Untouchable” at her school, Lum’s record is spotless for a rich girl. Not one sign of drugs, sex, accidents, or tickets blotted her past. Miss Perfect, Miss Untouchable had the perfect life.

Appearance: Clickie
Classes: Anatomy/Physiology, English Enriched, Calculus, Choir, American History
Dorm Room: Two
Other: She is fairly intrigued about this “rose” at her school, and seeks to find out what it is.

04. Username: ToastyTau
Character Name: Demeter Malheure
Age: 17
Year: Third
Personality: Maybe shy isn't the right word for Demeter, though the only time you'll ever see him really enthusiastic about anything is on the stage, since he is a thespian. Sure, he's not always the most eager person to talk, but it's not because he's afraid of social interaction. You see, Demeter is gifted with an insight very few people of his age have. While most teens care about living life to the fullest and enjoying the present, Demeter worries over the future, and what is to become of himself and his friends. He can see some headed for success, and others headed for trouble in life. He wants to help them; despite his rather standoffish nature he does care for his friends. It's just that his advice, like most of his other points, are frank and honest (with a hint of sarcasm). This honesty usually offends people, and it seems almost everything Demeter says with good intentions gets misconstrued and taken offensively. For this reason, he mostly stays quiet in conversations except when he has a serious point to make or he knows that someone is wrong. Don't get into an argument with Demeter.
Bio: Demeter's life is the typical tragedy, a story full of betrayals and angst and such. He likes to think despite having such a dramatic history, it hasn't really affected him psychologically like people would expect. Of course, it inevitably has, though he wouldn't admit it. It seems theater is really the only outlet he has for channeling stress from the problems of his life; hence why he took to the stage at such a young age. One might consider Demeter to be a prodigy; he has attended numerous theater camps and programs, and is even applying for an apprenticeship for the Screen Actors Guild. He wants to be famous some day, and he might just get there. Despite being shy and having a turbulent freshman year, it seems his personality has drawn people to him, making him rather popular by junior year. Since the age of eight, he has always avoided his home (where drama he didn't really care for was), leaving it whenever he could for rehearsals or plays. He's been in numerous productions both in school and out of school, and plans to attend the Boston Conservatory of Fine Arts or the prestigious Juilliard for college.

05. Username: i SKiiTL3S `
Character Name: Patrick Hart
Age: Eighteen
Year: Third
Personality: Patrick is a very calm and collected person, always keeping to himself and the shadows of others, never really showing his own personality. He has been known to be quite, tempered, when it came to disagreements, and because of this he gets in quite a lot of trouble, thought, at times of anger he always seems to somehow slip away.
By many teachers, Patrick has been caught trying to use his psychology that was learnt from when he was a child, torturing his young playmates, against his peers. It has been seen that at times he will create a false reality, and then slowly drag those people within it, trying to make them go insane. Because of this truth, people call him a malevolent being, insane...
Bio: As a child, Patrick had a hard life, trying to have fun playing with his friends as voices whispered in the back of his mind, whenever being turned towards quickly shutting up. It was a hard life for him, trying to understand it all, but, there was that day when it changed. His father had left one of his books open on his chest for he had fallen asleep, and Patrick stumbled upon it. Reading through it incredibly fast, and at the same time comprehending every word that was stated, he began having thoughts of torment, deteriorating the human mind until it was nothing, then building it back up the way that he wanted it to be.
During his young school years, people called him a malevolent creature, someone without a heart, and at times that could be called the truth, but on other occasions, in which he did have a heart, it was far from reality.
He created a list, of people that tormented him so, that didn’t live life to the fullest, that though life was a piece of crap. This list consisting of few people, Patrick began spreading his reach among the cliques that had formed a barrier around themselves, a barrier that would repel anyone but him.
You could call him insane, a stalker, some kind of mutilated monster with an unbelievable past, but, this was only part of it all, there was much more to the story, a long recollection of thoughts that you could wreak havoc in someone’s mind, a story, that can’t be really told.
[ This last little bit doesn’t really have an relevance, this is just more explaining that his true background, will slowly pan out in the roleplay. ]
Appearance: A bleeding scholar
Classes: Orchestra, French, Psychology, Physics, Calculus, Enriched
Dorm Room: Four
Other: His bags and his side of the dorm room are completely filled with books on the mind, a child’s mind, to that of a full-grown adult.

06. Username: Constance Ringwood
Character Name: Jericho Cantrell
Age: 18
Year: Fourth
Personality: Free-spirited, manipulative, impulsive, sly, easily tempted, head-stronge, and self-centered seem to fit him perfectly. He's pretty much a passive-aggressive sort of guy. Sometimes, his mouth can run away with him. A bit of a dare-devil as well, I suppose.
Bio: Raised with a silver spoon in his mouth, Jericho has never known what it means to be poor or Middle class for that matter. As the only child of an heiress, Jericho naturally learned the family roots and business; Winery. His father was considerable older than his mother, but there was nothing wrong with it. Vicious rumors seem to float around where the family vacationed or dwelled for more than a year. Nothing was short of the usual torment of the filthy rich. Around 14, Jericho’s father was taken to the insane asylum shortly after the death of his grandmother. Doctors had spoken with his mother saying ‘it was a mental break down’ and ‘he should be fine soon. Soon turned into weeks, weeks to months, months to years, then Time began to forget the elderly man in a wheelchair. It had gotten to the point that Jericho hardly cared anymore. Of course this little event was not the reason as to why he had become so closed to others. No, that had everything to do with breeding I’m afraid. He’s only reflecting the image of his father in his youth. Jericho turned to his music for the remainder of the time either mask his emotions or to ignore his mother’s new drinking habit is unknown. Somehow, he felt more at piece whilst playing for an audience of many or of one. Time passed, Jericho later applied to the Academy of the Rose and has been attending ever since.
