BAND AUDITIONS: Seniors Paul Munday and Kyle Storme are holding auditions for positions in a currently unnamed band to compete in the annual Battle of the Bands at the Parks and Recreation Center. At the moment, the positions open are for a lead guitarist, bassist, keyboarder, lead singer, and a DJ. The style we're going for is a mix of Nu Metal, Alternative Rock, Funk Rock, and Grunge. If you think that this is your style or you want to try something new, come to room 445 on the West Wing, where we will be analyzing participants and making cuts for membership. We're looking for 3 qualities in each of our members. Skill, Availability, and Passion. You must possess all of these qualities if you want to be apart of our band. Even though our primary goal is to win the Battle of the Bands, we're going above and beyond with our music and the only way we can do that is with the most dedicated band-mates. If you think you have what it takes, come to the audition with all of the skill and attitude that you have and show us what you've got!

My Bio:

Name: Paul Munday

Stage Name: Noah the Arc

Species: Genetically-Altered Human

Grade: Senior

Appearance:
http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p312/qg6/PaulMunday2.jpg

Instrument: Electric Guitar, Bass, Keyboard, Drums

Position: Rhythm Guitar, Backing Vocals

Inspiration: Jimi Hendrix, Slash, Ray Charles, Travis Barker

Powers: Carries the genetic code of almost every animal of the immediate species(basic animals), giving him the attributes and characteristics for individual animals of his choosing.

Personality: The cunningness that Paul possesses is almost unmatchable. He's just one of those guys, you know? Those cool, laid-back fellas that go with the flow and somehow draw others to him like a magnet. Throughout his 4 years at Tyro Academy, Paul established a name for himself, but being careful not to let his pride take him over. He rarely shows any display of dramatic emotion unless he's on stage performing or exercising his primal powers. Other than this, he's always on his guard when it comes to his cool and rarely makes mistakes, at least not in the presence of others.

To a certain extent, pride is what drives Paul's personality, as much as he hates to admit it. He was horribly ridiculed throughout his elementary and middle school years, which led him to shut down and clam up when he first attended Tyro Academy, but not in a way that made him look awkward. It was more of a relaxed tone that he gave off, which reflected on the people around them, allowing them to find a center in their own selves that kept them relaxed. If Paul ever loses his cool or panics, his emotions instantly effect those around him and puts them in the same state of mind, which is why Paul avoids this at all costs. With a barrage of witty remarks and charming disposition, Paul Munday can easily become the idealistic friend, lover, and hero to all.

Biography: Life has always seemed so short for Paul. Things were constantly changing, ever since he was an infant. Born to 2 scientist parents, Paul and his twin sister, Beth, were raised under a carefully monitored environment that simulated the life of the average infant human. He hung out with friends, played with toys, annoyed his sister – all of the things that a boy his age was meant to do. The only difference from other boys his age, was that they were not being monitored 24/7, their every action being recorded for further study by government scientists.

At the age of 7, things started to change. It was then that Paul and Beth were selected for 2 separate but equally beneficiary experiments to develop new skills within the two. As a result of several years of testing, 2 outcomes occurred. Beth was the first to show signs of progress, developing a weak but noticeable control over pyrotechnics, which was the goal they were trying to achieve, by dosing her with a serum that allowed her to have control over whatever was in her immediate environment, which, at the scientists' request, was a small candle flame. Paul's experimentation led him to be exposed to several different species of animals while under the dosage. Over the months that followed, both began to make incredible progress; Beth now had the ability to wield and bend fire to her will as well as produce it from her own finger tips, while Paul was beginning to take on the characteristics of the animals, adapting himself to different kinds at will and also having the ability to speak to them.

Years into the treatment, Paul and Beth were aloud to continue a new life with their powers but instantly found themselves in the middle of a world that looked down upon their differences. They were shunned by society and the two chose to remain at their parent's house to continue testing for the treatment. It was during this time, that Beth began to take up an interest in music, and Paul, being the brother that followed his sibling all of the time, began to gain interest as well. The two were given lessons on how to play various instruments, of which Beth excelled in and mastered in a matter of months. Paul on the other hand, was deemed unteachable, but when he was given a guitar and put in a room by himself, he could teach himself a Jimi Hendrix rift in a matter of minutes.

It wasn't until one night that their facility was attacked by a group of Freedom Fighters that killed their parents and kidnapped Paul, taking him to a secret warehouse of which they used as a base. Beth was left to fend for herself.

Paul didn't particularly care about his parent's death; they treated him and his sister more like lab rats than actually offspring, so he didn't mind. He went under the wing of the Freedom Fighters at the age of 12 and lived a life with a group of people that accepted who he was. He heard nothing of his sister after that, but didn't care. These people were his family now....that is until it was all taken away from him in one fatal swoop. The government discovered the Freedom Fighters' hideout, killing nearly all of them and capturing Paul once again. For a year, he spent his time in an orphanage and then he was transferred to a local boarding school called Tyro Academy for the Uniquely Gifted. When he enrolled, he learned from his fellow classmates that there was once a girl who attended the Academy by the name of Beth Munday, who went crazy, attacking one of the teachers for no apparent reason. She was quickly expelled and no one had heard from her sense. Paul took this into consideration. His sister was out there, but something about her had changed. She wasn't the same girl that he used to harass for fun back In the good old days. Things were constantly changing...

Throughout his years at the Academy, Paul became friends with one of the students, Kyle Storme, a talented musician who was interested in the same types of music as him. At the beginning of their senior year, the two came up with a plan to start a band, the first one to be created by a group of uniquely gifted teenagers. Whether they'd gain popularity in such a discriminatory world was a mystery but they were more than willing to try. This was a chance for them to make a name for themselves and they took the opportunity. They were ready for the trials of the band that lay ahead.

Extra Info: Paul is an avid skateboarder too. His name, Noah the Arc, refers to his power to communicate and adopt the characteristics of animals. The "Arc" refers to his idealistic ways of "leading you into another direction."

[GoldPhoenixRanger]

Name: Kyle Storme

Stage Name: Thunder Storm

Species: Charger (Alien Species explained below)

Grade: Senior

Appearance: His hair is a very dark brown and looks almost black. It is spiked up and he has a thin mustache and a goatee that match the color. He usually wears a pair of slightly baggy jeans and black sneakers. He wears dark t-shirts, usually blue or black, with various bands or sayings on them. Over top of this he wars a Red hoodie that has a pattern of black lines, and is almost never zipped.

Instruments: Drums, Acoustic & Lead Guitars

Position: Drums, Backup Vocals

Inspiration: Beatles, Willie Nelson, Garth Brooks, a few others.

Powers and Abilities: Electro-Kinesis - The abillity to generate, store, channel, and manipulate Electricy

Personality: Kyle is generally a social guy, kind to anyone he meets. He has a temper but it only flairs with significant provocation. However, if it does flair, you’d best get wayyy out of the way. He’s very intelligent and can usually make people feel at ease in stressful situations, and is also adept at problem solving, even under pressure. He can also take charge if need be, but will also follow if the situation calls for it. He tries not to show any arrogance but does tend to be a bit of a know it all, though that isn’t always a bad thing. All in all he just tried his best to be an average guy….or as average as you can get when you attend Tyro Academy.

Biography: Kyle’s childhood was just like that of any other boy his age….well, almost. He was raised by his loving parents Robert and Katherine Storme in a suburban home on the outskirts of Rockland City. They moved there when Kyle was just a baby, and some said that after the Storme Family moved in there seemed to be an awful lot of power surges and lightning storms. Little did they know that this was because the Storme Family had moved in. The Storme’s were not normal humans as you would expect, but were actually from a distant planet the neighboring Alpha Centauri galaxy. Their planet was almost constantly bombarded by electric storms as a result of their ion-heavy atmosphere and close proximity to their sun. This resulted in their people, called the Chargers, needing a method of coping with this situation. Many chargers were frequently struck by lightning or bombarded by electrical currents, and so over the millennia the Chargers evolved the ability to safely channel and control this energy through their own bodies. Upon biological examination, one would find a similar structure to our own, with the only difference being a much larger and advanced nervous system, which gives them their abilities.

These powers effectively make the Chargers like walking batteries, as they can store and release electrical energy at will, and can even create it, though this takes tremendous energy. Many Chargers went beyond their limits and would up dead from a permanent over charge that even their bodies couldn’t handle. Rather then risk this, Rob and Kathy traveled to Earth shortly after their son Kyle was born (it should be known that their Charger names are different but are of no relevance). Robert opened his own electronics company, which quickly grew and began developing advanced technologies that were secretly a combination of both Human and Charger inventions. Kathy was a stay at home mom for most of Kyle’s life, but as he got older she began working with Robert as a business partner, handling negotiations with clients and such. Getting back to where we started Kyle’s childhood was just like that of any other boy his age…except that he had to learn to control his powers. His unintentional manipulation of electricity was the cause of the power surges and storms that the neighbors picked up on. As he grew older he learned to control his abilities, and aside from these powers he had friends and interests just like any other teen. He had a vast interest in music from an early age and learned to play drums, something he enjoyed because their sounds subconsciously reminded him of the sounds of thunder from his home planet when he was a baby. He also mastered the guitar, the electric first which was aided by his powers, because he could electrically manipulate the strings, and also the acoustic simply because he enjoyed the sounds it made and wanted a challenge. He had taken a liking to some old style country music which also had an influence.

When he was old enough, his parents had him enrolled in Tyro Academy because people were getting suspicious of his powers. At Tyro he no longer had to pretend to be human, as there were a number of different species attending classes there. During the course of his freshmen year he met a guy named Paul Munday, and the two became fast friends over their love of music. They went through school together getting good grades but always excelling in music classes, even the advanced ones. In their sophomore year their father gave Kyle a very special present for his 16th birthday. Several weeks earlier, Robert had been playing cards with some friends who happened to be high profile owners of some rival companies. The pot was high and Robert pulled out the victory, which won him a brand new prototype SUV created by one of his rivals, who was considered to be eccentric, hence his being referred to as a “mad scientist”. Robert made a few Charger based adjustments to the vehicle, and it became known as The Goddess. Kyle was ecstatic to receive this gift and has taken good care of it. It quickly became Kyle and Paul’s signature ride, though it can hold up to 8 people if need be. When senior year rolled around, the local Parks and Recreation Center was holding a Battle of the Bands, and Kyle and Paul knew they had to win. In order to do so, they put out flyers advertising for further band mates to build a band that was sure to win the contest. Little did Kyle know that there was far more at stake then just a local competition.

Extra Info: As a Charger, Kyle can store electricity in his body for any amount of time as long as he doesn’t store too much. He can also unleash this in a variety of ways, be it in blasts, touching someone and overloading their nervous system causing a variety of effects, or even powering electrical devices. He can also manipulate electricity around him, specifically lightning from thunderstorms (hence his nickname). If his above mentioned temper goes off, he has been known to release electricity uncontrollably with understandably disastrous effects.

She tends to by shy sometimes, but tries not to be, she would like to make a new friend once in a while. Though it may not appear so. When the night comes around she becomes another person. Though she cannot help it, since she was bitten by a vampire when she was 10, she has had a double personality. Though it’s a side she never wants to come out.

She'll tease you and draw you in. Though when she awakes in the morning, she has no regulation, well depending what she did that night... But she stills cares for others. She never wanted this to be her life. But apparently it’s come to that. And feeds on humans, and find it hard to become a 'vegetarian'. But inside she knows that there is something out there for her, something she is destined to do.


History:
Jasmine was born into a typical American family. She had an older brother Erick, and her dad was a fireman while her mom worked part time in a charity facility. Her family was very happy together and they loved each other very much. They all got along and hardly had any situations. But as Jasmine was growing up, she tended to have a problem, she never knew why, but other kids never liked her. She never had any friends and they weren't very nice to her. She was always nice to them. But no sooner one perky girl admitted that she, Jasmine did have something they all wanted, her life. They were all just jealous. Jasmine knew there was more to this and didn't learn of it until she was older. Her father, really wasn't a fireman, and hunted vampires. Many families new of this and basically called him crazy and there was no such thing. Jasmine wasn't sure whether he was or not, Erick though believed what the others told him. He would always get mad at his dad for being so stupid and believing in the superstitious things. But Jasmine trusted her dad. She knew her father wouldn't do something that he knew wasn't true. She had heard of strange happenings where she lived but she never really thought about it up to this point. Her mother no sooner left her dad. Her mom couldn't take it anymore. Jasmine stayed by her fathers' side, while her brother no sooner left as well, just fed up. Jasmine continued to be alone at school, though she got really good grades, her own teachers weren't very cool with her either. But in time she soon got used to it. She got interested in singing and playing the piano. She loved it and felt it a great way to express how she was always felt. Her dad enjoyed her home written songs her supported her every step of the way.

Jasmine no sooner asked her dad one day (when she was 10) if she could join him on a hunt one night. She for herself wanted to see if the sayings were true. He hesitated. She kept urging and urging until he finally gave in. Though he told her she must stay in the car at all times, even if something happened to him. So when that night came she hoped in the car with him. She could tell that he was debating on whether or not to keep her home. She persuaded him once again and they soon took off. As the time came her dad got out of the car. She sat playing with her game boy waiting for him to return. She was tempted many times to go out of the car, but she didn't. Hours went by and he hadn't returned. She finally decided she should go look for him when a dark shadow appeared, and what seemed to be walking to the car. She thought it was her dad and she ran out to greet him. As she got closer, she realized it wasn't her dad. The next thing she knew she was taken away and blank. She awoke the next morning in a hospital. Her mom at her side. She looked over and asked her mom what happened. Her mom said that no one knew, they found her in the alley in the early morning by a local runner, her father had gone missing. Jasmine couldn’t move, Dr.Ullen had put so much medicine and morphine in he, she was basically a dead talking figure. After a month or so...she was let out. She was never hungry strangely. But what she didn’t know was that Dr.Ullen had been feeding her with blood through a needle and saying he was doing tests. He didn’t want to freak her out (him being a vampire as well).

Jasmine was heartbroken and she knew her mom was goanna take her in. As she did so Jasmine discovered to weird little markings on her neck. She ignored them for a while until she realized what they were. She gained some of her father's belongings (for he was now presumed dead) and learned much about the vampires, werewolves, and much more. She was really fascinated by it all and wanted to carry his legacy. Her mother denied it but Jasmine didn’t listen, and still to this day no one knows her secret of being a vampire. She grew up learning the hard way. She noticed her thirst burning in her throat was hard to dismiss. The only thing that helped her with her strange happenenings was her father's notes. As time went on Jasmine still sang a lot and her mom was proud on her decision on that. But secretly she still wanted to continue the legacy, and she finally told her secret of being a vampire, her mother then took her to special school she had read an article about. As she now attends this new school, at night she hunts the creatures that plan on hurting the innocent. She wants to protect those from falling into the trap such as she did, though everyday she hated herself for getting out of that car. Around that time she noticed she create illusions with her mind and make people think that they are seeing something else. She noticed that when her mom was making a nasty looking dinner. She was hoping it would burn and she wouldn’t have to eat it, and then her mom started to cry out "FIRE!!" She looked at the food and it wasn’t. She calmed her mom down....it made Jasmine think a little bit. She tried something else with her mom. Her mom acted up again. So she could make illusions. She thought it was the coolest thing ever.


Extra Info:
-She decided to try out for the band because she wanted to try something new and different in her life.
-She perfers singing then playing the piano

[Onlyne]

Great bio Masquerade. The only thing though, is that you didn't explain how your character got to the Academy. Once you add in that little detail, you're basically in. At the moment we'll add you in as our singer but just in case we have someone wanting keyboard, we'll have to leave that spot open. If all of the spots are filled except for keyboard, then you will be put down for that spot as well.

Species:
Human + symbiotic alien

Grade:
Junior

Appearance:
http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/2651/carnagevsvenomouttakeby.jpg (http://img199.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=trunkedbymleitner.jpg) Click the photo for more pics.

Instruments:
Keytar
Lead Guitar
Back up Vocals

Position:
Lead Guitar
Keyboard(Keytar)
Back up Vocals

Inspiration:
Rammstein
Daft Punk
Powerman 5000
Teriyaki Boyz
DethKlok

Powers and Abilities:
• The ability to form fangs, elongated tongue.
• The ability to form tendrils from her body which function as weapons or as assistant limbs.
• Once the tendrils are severed they seek out the host and rejoin the symbiote mass.
• The ability to shape-shift. (Mimicking clothing.)
• The symbiote also has empathic abilities, and is able to project desires and needs into the thoughts of its host or potential hosts.
• This ability can also aid Amy in detecting the truth from those she interrogates.
• Superhuman strength.
• Superior speed and agility, enhances other physical attributes as well.
• Enhanced durability and resistance to damage.
• Enhanced healing ability.
• The symbiote also reacts to the thoughts and will of the host, though remains somewhat in constant control.

Personality:
Two distinct personalities are presented, though one not as often as the other.
Amy presents a very dominant, tough-girl, violent side more often than her soft-spoken, wise, and shy side.
Because of the symbiote's interference in the normal brainwaves that ordinary flow across the brain trailing neuroplulses, the symbiote interrupts those with it's own chemical and conscious waves. This results in an overlapping of brain waves and elctro impulses that control the brain. Humans are largely dependent on these to direct thoughts, motor skills, and to run all of the body's functions. The symbiote takes control and influences Amy's personality, thoughts and feelings.
She will often attack critics verbally or physically depends on how the symbiote perceives the intensity of Amy's tension.
She will often break down into crying fits, and simply snap back into her unfeeling bad-girl persona which simply writes off other people as useless, or too weak to worry about.
However the symbiote has a great respect for the other band members, and thus her attitude will often remain dormant during band meetings or performances. However to other people outside of her band she will often take a hard stance against them, or attempt to engage them in battle, verbally or physically depends on Amy's tension level.
Largely though she remains quiet, or reserved until called upon, though always presenting a hard-to-reach expression, or an icy glare.


Biography:
As a child, Amethyst Vivano lived a somewhat oblivious life, her father and mother both belonging to California's underground mob-scene. They participated in many illegal activities that guaranteed their daughter's happiness, or else. They kept either life a secret from their daughter fearing that she would one day follow in their footsteps.
This was not to be though, for Amethyst grew up a very normal, and kind young girl. Her parents were relieved that she did not follow in their footsteps after-all and that no harm had come to their daughter.
This too however was not to be. The night of her 14th birthday, she and her parents, having left the movie theatre were attacked by a thug. Her parents, murdered before her very eyes, and she too would find herself in the crosshairs of a gun.
Clutching to her teddy bear as the thug pulled back on the trigger of his gun. She held her breath as the thug pulled the trigger..
And, as though time stopped, the bullet tore through her forehead, though her skull, and through her brains. The lodged itself deep within her cerebral cortex, after coming to a violent rest. Blood gushed from her forehead when her head smacked against the pavement she had once stood on.
Then, suddenly, she awoke, gasping for breath and coughing blood from her lungs, the thug slaughtered, mangled like a wild animal. The hole in her forehead, gone. The bullet, gone. All that felt new, was an over-whelming sense of power. Power like nothing before she had ever felt before.
Because the symbiote feeds on human emotion, the most logical place was Tyro Academy due to the massive amount of emotional energies flowing free from the creative minds and hearts of the students attending.
With the aid of the make a wish foundation, Amy became a student at the Academy, and with the help of the symbiote became adept at playing the Keytar, and Guitar, as well as singing. The symbiote itself communicates through harmonic vibrations, thus the music is more of a relaxation for the alien species, and because of the music's affect on humans; the symbiote is fed by the emotional energies released by the humans upon listening to the music that it and Amy produce.
However she has a bad days when her consciousness rebels against the symbiote's impulses to be violent and dark. Resulting in sudden spells of deep sadness, crying, rage, or hysteria.

Extra Info:
The symbiote is slowly driving her insane.
Because of the symbiote's abilities, her clothing often changes fitting her mood, though it more often then not remains very punk'ish.
The picture featured of her is her battle armor, in a sense. She is incredibly powerful in this form but it is very taxing on her human body, without a complete covering of her body her bones can, and will be broken by rapid, and erratic movements.
The symbiote usually takes control of Amy when Amy is presented with a life threatening situation, or a high tension situation. In other circumstances it will simply influence her emotions and direct her in the path it wants to go.
The abilities, and origins of the symbiote are unknown to Amy, will remain unknown for a majority of the RPG.

When in this form, an Oni is rendered blind due to the protection of the Oni Skin, but their sense of sound is increased, allowing them to see through the use of sonar-like techniques. Additional bone is formed that serves as a limited form of armor as gauntlets, faceguard, and chest protection. The common abilities all Onis have are;
-Claws that protrude from the knuckles. Because the claws come out from under the skin, the knuckles bleed, but when retracted, the knuckles heal instantly.
-Breath out a large flame.
-The use of 'pure' sound through their instrumental weapons.

Onis also have their common abilities distinguished through appearance based on their Oni title. For Ken's case, all his abilities are shown to connect to fire as well as the color black, or darkness. Ken is able to perform the following;
-Knuckle claws, but for his case, he bleeds out black blood from his knuckles.
-Breath out a black flame
-Black flame charged punches and kicks
-Cover his body with black fire for defense.

For Ken's Oni Form, his appearance is similar to the well-renowned Hibiki (http://www.freewebs.com/noctu01/BM-12inch-hibiki-4.jpg). The differences for him are;
-Black Oni skin
-Gunmetal grey bone armor

Personality:
Ken had always been a person who wished to become more than he already is. The simple life he had just wasn't fulfilling and seemed rather mediocre, he wanted to something that wasn't the status quo of his lifestyle. He needed something to get him away from the repetitive routine of school, study, eat, sleep, etc. The chance for a new life came along with a tragedy, the life of an Oni. As an Oni, Ken fights with the sole purpose to eliminate the Makamou so that no one else would have have to suffer like he had. Vengeance was all that drove him to become the best Oni and the most powerful. But he did his bet to not let power consume him, he knows very well that too much power could destroy a man. But its in gaining power that he could be stronger to stick to his goal of ridding the world of Makamou.

Ken had recently changed his ideals of eliminating the Makamou to simply fighting to protect others. Whether it was monster related or not, Ken wished to help people when he could, but he chooses to keep his Oni powers in the dark while he does. His compassion for human life is what makes him a good person, he would never be the one to hurt others and he would never fight unless it was to save a life or two.

Biography:
Kouta's life wasn't exactly what you would call normal. It started to become un-normal the day his parents were killed by a monster when they went camping. Kouta only survived because he was saved by someone, an Oni. Kouta, shaken by the death of his parents, wished to avenge them. He asked the Oni to teach him how to fight like an Oni. Being only a child, the Oni was unsure if it was the best idea, but Kouta refused to accept no as an answer. Defeated, the Oni decided to train him. From then on, Kouta was under the tutelage of this Oni, named Nenshouki, training to become an Oni to hunt down these monsters known as Makamou. During his training, Kouta learned of how the whole Oni training stsyem worked; the inital part of training is to determine which Oni class he would be in, Fire Beat, Gale Shot, or Thunder Slash class. After that, Kouta would be given his Oni name and train in perfecting his skills in that class until he is powerful enough to obtain an Oni Form. When that is achieved, all that is left for Kouta to train to constantly to keep at his best.

When the time came for Kouta to be put in an Oni class, something happened that nobody expected. According to how the Oni classes are determined, there are three elements that can only belong to one weapon style; Fire with drum-based weapons, Gale with wind instrument weapons, and thunder with string instruments. Kouta was found to have the power of string based instruments, but was giving off fire based power. Deciding to treat this as a Thunder Slash class, Nenshouki continued to train Kouta in that class, although he was occasionally trained in the Drum-based style. With his class determined, Kouta was giving his Oni name, Kurohiki. At such an early age, Kurohiki was already a very powerful Oni. He would always fight by Nenshouki's side in every battle, assisting his teacher with whatever power he could offer. Some time later in his time as an Oni, Kurohiki wished to become more independent, wanting to fight the Makamou on his own. Against Nenshouki's orders, Kurohiki went off to fight a Makamou that his teacher had been following for the past few days. Upon the encounter with the Makamou, Kurohiki proved to be inexperienced in fighting alone and was almost killed. Brutally wounded and close to the brink of death, Nenshouki arrived just in time to destroy the Makamou and take Kurohiki to safety.

Kurohiki was lucky to still be alive, one of the Oni's also had a medical background and was able to heal Kurohiki. Nenshouki was just glad that his student was alive and didn't care that he disobeyed orders. Realizing that he almost died, Kurohiki saw the potential dangers of being an Oni. Taking several days to think things over, Kurohiki decided that this wasn't the kind of life he wanted to live anymore. Kurohiki didn't want to dedicate his entire life to simply hunting, he wanted to live life like any boy his age. Nenshouki was understanding of Kurohiki's situation and gave him the option of either continuing his Oni duties, or retiring as an Oni. Kurohiki decided to give up his Oni life and start new, abandoning his Oni name and returning to being just Kouta. Nenshouki told him of a friend he made back when he was in America chasing a Makamou that escaped the islands of Japan. His name was Jack Swift and it was through his skills that Nenshouki learned new techniques in killing the Makamou. After making contact with his old friend, arrangements were made for Kouta to fly to the States and meet him at the terminal. Before leaving, Nenshouki gave Kouta a new guitar, telling him that Kouta may have given up the Oni lifestyle, but he can never give up being an Oni, and that is what will keep them both connected.

Once he arrived to America, he was greeted by Jack Swift, who was at the airport to pick him up. He explained that Nenshouki made many arrangements, which included getting Kouta enrolled in Tyro Academy as well as getting him a place to live. Now that he was going to be living in a new home, Kouta decided that he would change his name, going by Ken form now on. His earlier time at the academy was difficult, due to his lack of knowing English. He took private classes in learning English and was able to fluently speak the language halfway through his sophomore year. During his time of learning English, Ken also took time to play guitar. He would occasionally use an empty music room to practice while he was at school, and he would practice in his room back at home. Eventually, word got around about his guitar skills and there were people in bands that wished to recruit him.

Ken didn't expect that the one band he would eventually join would take him back to a world where his Oni nature would be needed once again.

Extra Info:
-The Makamou were all originated from Japan and dealt with by the Oni, leaving Ken with no worries of any of the Makamou escaping Japan to cause chaos elsewhere.
-Ken owns a specially made guitar that is called the Retsurai, which translates to The Violent Thunder. The Retsurai can only be used as a guitar when the Retsurai buckle is attacked to the weapon, which is stored on the buckle of his belt.(Oni form only)

GekiViper - Your bio is pretty good but the only thing is that you put more work into your powers than you did in the biography, the latter of which I wanted most from it. Still, since your character's true origins are meant to be revealed in the RPG, I'll let it slide. Just be careful with your powers, you have alot of them and technically you could be a little overpowered so try not to go overboard with it. Other than that you're pretty much in. You're assigned as the band's keyboarder but at times you can play a keytar if you want too.

Chameleon Ranger - Great bio dude. At first I was thinking you were a little overpowered as well, but as long as the armor and occassional weapons are your only perks you should be legit. You're in and assigned as the band's lead guitarist.

So at the moment, the only spots still open are Bass and Turntables. Keep in mind that all spots are still open for applications so if I happen to like the bio for an already assigned instrument more than the one already assigned, arrangements can be made to make those changes. There's no first come first serve so we're open to more applications.

Name:Matthew Ashby

Stage Name: Zuriel

Species: Nephilim (Human-Angel hybrid)

Grade: Sophomore

Appearance:
http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i9/tallgeese4/7th-David-Gallagher23.jpg

Instruments: Bass, Guitar, Keyboard/Piano

Position: Bass

Inspiration: The Beatles, Beethoven, Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Dream Theater, The Rolling Stones, Mozart.

Powers and Abilities:
Being in the son of an angel Matthew is granted a number of abilities, flight (although he has no wings), superhuman physical attributes (strength, endurance, speed), and a limited healing power. This healing power cannot save someone who is already dead but with enough time and concentration it can save someone from an otherwise mortal wound.

Every angel, including Matthew's father, is granted a unique weapon which they can summon at any time. When his father died Matthew inherited his father's weapon, a sword of flame, the Flambard.

Personality:
Matthew is withdrawn and quite, with two exceptions: when someone is in danger and when playing music.

If someone were to say Matthew has a hero complex he would probably agree with them. Any time he sees someone in trouble he can't stop himself from helping them.

Music is Matthew's one true passion. Playing music is the one time he lets out his emotions.

Biography:
Matthew Ashby was destined to be different from before he was born. Being the son of a human and an angel will do that to a person. Falling in love with a human woman, Matthew's father, Zuriel, was given a choice: forget the woman or leave Heaven forever and give up his immortality. The choice was simple for Zuriel. A short time with the woman he loved was better than an eternity in Heaven.

During the early years of Matthew's life his parents tried to raise him as normal as they could, though never keeping the truth from him. However as he got older it became clear most other children could somehow sense Matthew was different and were less than accepting of him. Once Matthew's abilities started to manifest his mother and father realized public school was not an option and started home schooling. It was when Matthew started taking piano lessons as a part of his education that he finally found a release and a passion in the form of music.

The biggest turning point in Matthew's life occurred at the age of ten. One quite afternoon at home watching TV a news caster broke in to tell of a group of armed thugs attempting to rob a local bank. Ever the hero, Matthew's father ran out to stop these criminals before any bystanders were harmed. As soon as the TV station went to a live feed of the bank Matthew saw his father rushing into the bank. Matthew's mother quickly ushered him out of the room. Even now Matthew is still not exactly sure what happened after that. After almost an hour alone in his room his mother came in crying. His father had died to save a group of people. Although the official stories and reports rarely stated anything specific about the robbers Matthew suppects they were more that just your average bank robbers. How else could they kill his father? His initial reaction was one of wanting revenge but as he thought of his father he knew that would be that last thing he would want. Matthew realized the best way to honor his father was to use his abilities for good.

With Matthew nearing high school age and his father, the one Matthew felt truly connected to, gone, his mother decided to send him to Tyro Academy, believing it may be a place where he can finally fit in. Now in his second year at Tyro, Matthew knows a few people but has yet to make any real friends. Learning that some other students are trying to form a band he decides to try out with hopes to be able to share his music with others and maybe even make some friends.

Extra Info:
Matthew is a classically trained pianist.

destchild05 - As much of a fan I am of Nicki Minaj, I don't know if your character would be right for this group for several reasons. The bio itself is great but I dont think its right for this RPG. This is meant to be a rock band and I'm afraid, realistically, our characters wouldn't except a voice meant for a different genre in their group. Personally, I'm a fan of all types of genres so if this was meant to be like that, I would let you join but due to the circumstances, I cant. The other reason is that we already have a player who fits my vision for the singer and Hades' bio for Bass seems to be a more suitable candidate for Bass. Now if you'd like to switch your character to DJ, I'd be happy to allow that and you can still be in the group. Let me know in the DT and we can sort this out.

Hades - Great bio dude. I really like it. There's not really anything I can say about it other than that, so as far as I'm concerned you're in.

One more part for the band, DJ. Get it while its hot!

[butterfly_kisses]

Name: Lana Crane

Stage Name: Cypher

Species: Hybrid – Human/Computer

Grade: Sophomore

Appearance:
http://www.pimpyourprofiles.com/Images/Female_Celebrities/Eliza_Dushku/images/Eliza_Dushku_0186.jpg

Instruments:
Turntables
Drums
Electric Guitar (has only some experience with the guitar)

Position:
DJ/Turntables
Background vocals

Inspiration:
DJ Miss Divine
DJ Annalyze
Shelia E.
Meg White

Powers and Abilities:
-Technopath – Because Lana is half computer, she is able to communicate with machines.
-Super sight
-Super hearing
-Superior knowledge (her brain is basically a computer and she can “download” any information she needs)

Personality:
Lana is a computer virus. Maybe not a literal virus, but she is able to wile her way into anybody’s life. With her infectious laugh and vest for life, Lana can pull a person in and make them addicted to her company. This suits Lana just fine as she prefers to have many acquaintances who barely know her over close friends who know all her dark secrets.

Lana does not open up easily to others. One seemingly needs to find the password to unlock Lana’s heart. Past experiences have left her scared and bitter, but Lana will not show those emotions to the outside world. She is a closed book, preferring to keep her privacy setting on high rather than risk getting hurt again.

While she has been hurt, Lana will not allow that to get in the way of her fun. A bit of a wild child, Lana likes to get herself into situations that can, sometimes, become dangerous. She doesn’t appreciate being told what to do, especially after living the majority of her life in a cage, and will go out of her way to go against what she perceives as an order.


Biography:
Memories of Lana’s childhood are more like snippets of a bigger picture, almost like someone took a film strip and cut and spliced it together. Everything seems a blur and she cannot, easily, tell you the order in which events happened.

The few facts that Lana knows for certain are that she was born to Damien and Elise Crane. Her exact birth date is unknown; Lana isn’t even sure what year she was born in. She can remember, vaguely, having siblings. There were two of them, both boys. Their names elude Lana, but she knows that the three of them were all close. That they played together and that, at one point in time, her brothers beat up a bigger kid who was picking on her.

She remembers her whole family sitting around her as she lies in a hospital bed. Their voices mingling with the steady beep of the machines that were keeping her alive. She remembers the exact moment when the beeps turned into a screech and chaos ensued as doctors shocked her heart and plunged needles into her skin. She remembers dying. She was ten. Her mother cried. She remembers thinking that now she wouldn’t get to try out for soccer. Then everything was black.

Who knows how long Lana had lain, dead, before she finally awoke. She was lying on a cold, metal table in a room that reeked of cleaning products, metal, and death. Her last memory was of her own death. How could she now be alive?

Doctors arrived in white lab coats, alerted by the rapid beeping of machines. Only then did Lana notice the wires that ran over her body. Frightened, she began to pull at the wires, trying to get them out of her, but they seemed to be welded to her very bones. The doctors tried to calm her and did so only by injecting her with a sedative.

Under the influence of the sedative, the doctors explained how Lana, who they had renamed Experiment 22 (22 for short), came back to life.

After the doctors at the hospital had pronounced Lana Crane dead her body had been taken to the hospital morgue. There, government doctors came to take her body along with the bodies of three other patients who had recently died. Back in their own underground hospital the doctors had begun their experiment: merging human life and functions with the functions of a computer. 22 was the only one to awaken.

For the next four years, 22 was put through a series of tests. She was poked and prodded and treated like chattel. Despite the computer that now functioned as her brain, 22 felt real human emotions and, for all intents and purposes was completely human. She longed to escape the cage that the doctors had placed her in. The hospital they worked in was underground and, for those four years, 22 never saw the sun, never felt its warmth on her face. She vowed to escape her captors and gain back the freedom she had lost.

At fifteen, she got the chance. The doctors did not realize that the computer inside her had allowed 22 to talk with other machines. One night, while she was supposed to be sleeping (or recharging as the doctors often called it) 22 told the security system to shut down. She made her escape while her captors were asleep.

For three days she was on the run, completely disoriented and with no knowledge of who she was other than the snippets of memory she was able to recover during the years, Lana ran for all she was worth. Finally she stumbled upon Tyro Academy.

Lana found a place to belong within Tyro. There she found others who, like her, were just trying to figure out where they fit. She still keeps others at a distance, but, one day, she hopes to learn to let her guard down.

Extra Info:
- Lana will not give up the search for her past. She has plugged into numerous computers in an effort to find a trace of her family, but she has yet to find them.
- After spending years as a government experiment, Lana has vowed to take revenge on those who kept her captive.
- Lana has a secret obsession with romance novels.
- While in captivity, Lana found her love for music. She was allowed to play around with various instruments and found banging on the drums a good way to work out her stress and anger. Also, her ability to communicate with machines made the turntables easy to learn.

Great bio, BK. The only thing I find sorta wrong was that you didn't explain how exactly you became a DJ. I guess what you were implying was that your characters powers allow you to use the turntables with ease. If thats the case, then thats fine and you're in as our DJ of the group.

Chameleon_Ranger - You added some new things into your bio that kinda made your character any more powerful and I can't let you be more powerful than everything else. I can allow the Retsurai but the others will have to go to keep your character balanced with the others. Sorry for the inconvenience but I have to be fair with the others.

Other than that, the game has been official casted and the CC is now closed. For those who didn't get the chance to enter, I apologize and better luck next time.

Right, I was gonna mention I made changes to my bio.

But now that you mention it, I guess I overdid it. Sorry about that, I'll fix it right away.
