Sylvia
Name: Raven Watt
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Ability: She can absorb and manipulate electricity, though
occasionally she loses control and shocks anyone near her. The bad
side of that is it can be from a bit of a static shock to
electrocuting them.
Appearance: She has fairly long black hair with white streaks. Her
eyes are a blue-greenish color and she usually wears black jeans
with whatever she ends up throwing on. She's a bit above average
height and skinny.
Personality: Raven tends to keep to herself but has a terrible
temper. This is really only because she's afraid of hurting anyone
with her ability. If she can get over that, she tends to joke
around and lose any seriousness she might have had before. She's
also fairly kind and caring though she isn't much of a people
person.
History: When Raven was young, only about 7 years old, she
accidentally hurt a classmate. No one assumed she did anything but
Raven had to live with the shame, knowing it was her fault. She
began to stray from anywhere with large amounts of people and
eventually went missing entirely. She knew her parents and younger
sister would probably be worried sick, since she vanished when she
was only 10, 3 years since the incident with her classmate. When
she received the letter Raven didn't even know how it found her, as
she was in an completely abandoned city. She still accepted the
invitation eagerly, hoping to control her powers.
Other: My computer is terrible .w.

Bear
Name:
Dustin Howard
Age:
16
Gender:
Male
Ability:
Dustin is able to control shadows. He is able to use them as his
own personal slaves if he tries hard enough. The energy it takes
him to do this usually can cause him to go unconscious or lose
control of himself.
Appearance:
Dustin is about 5' 8". He is very scrawny and thin, having barely
any muscle on his body. He has dark blue hair that he usually will
spike up or put into a beanie. His eyes are normally a deep blue,
although if he is shadow bending they will turn pitch black. His
style varies from day to day, but he will always wear his favorite
neon blue running shoes even if they don't match what he is wearing
at all. He has a pair of 'hipster' glasses that don't have any
lenses in them which he wears if he feels like it. He has a small
lion tattoo on his lower back and a scar along his left cheek.
Personality:
Dustin is the kind of guy everyone seems to get along with. He
likes to play hard to get, and doesn't get to close to anyone. He
has commitment issues and never really makes true friends. He is
often cracking jokes and playing games. He is a bit of a trouble
maker though, and tends to get into the wrong things. He is a bit
of a flirt and has trouble accepting that some people don't like
him. He is overall a pretty bubbly person who knows that people
like him.
History:
When Dustin was 8, he was hurt by a classmate. He was shocked on
the cheek, which left a permanent scar although it isn't very
visible. He never really blamed the girl, although he never spoke
to her either. He and his mother left town, moving into the country
for a while, due to Dustin's powers becoming stronger than he could
contain. They lived there till he was around 13, when they got a
letter in the mail. His mother reluctantly let him leave, even
though this was what Dustin had always wanted; to be with others
like him.
Other: Hope this is alright~

Raven doodled in her notebook as the car drove down the street. "If
this car just appeared out of no where, why don't we just appear
back?" Raven asked the driver. "The effects of disappearing from
existence and appearing again doesn't have a particularly good
effect on some people," the driver replied. "How much farther?"
"About 3 hours." Raven groaned and put her notebook away. "Hey,
it's your fault for being so far away!"
Raven decided she must have fallen asleep as the car jolted to a
stop and her eyes flashed open. "Here we are!" the driver declared.
Before she got out the driver spoke again. "Your lucky you got me
for a driver. I can put people to sleep." Raven grinned slightly.
Around one or two people she was usually fine. She looked at the
building. It seemed the windows were distributed randomly
throughout the building but it seemed to emit a friendly feeling
overall. "I'll get my st-" She stopped mid-sentence when she
noticed her bags were gone, though her notebook and pencil
remained. "...Uff." Raven shrugged, grabbed her remaining
belongings, and headed inside.
Dustin sat quietly in his little dorm like room. Classes hadn't
begun yet, so he hadn't felt the need to change out of his plaid
pajamas. He glanced around slightly, then pushed himself off his
bed, sluggishly walking over to his dresser. He yanked it open,
grabbing a random black t-shirt and an oversized pair of blue
slacks. He quickly changed into them and then spiked his hair up
with some gel. He looked in the mirror and grinned at the face
looking back at him. After a few minutes of self-admiration he
threw on his running shoes and ran out of his room, heading
downstairs to grab some breakfast. He was pretty hungry, having
missed dinner the other night for reasons he care not to explain.
Upon heading down the stairs, he noticed a new comer. He couldn't
quite see the face but he could tell she was a girl. He didn't
think much of it, he just continued towards the dining hall to grab
himself some food.
Raven noticed a small package on a small table addressed with her
name. She opened it to find a map, some information and a schedule.
Didn't the letter say I got to pick my schedule? she
wondered, unfolding the schedule. It was as if someone knew exactly
what she would've picked. A stray piece of paper from the package
caught her attention. Breakfast is currently going on if you
would like to eat. "Huh," Raven said aloud, putting the
schedule and the information in her pocket. She kept the map out
and tossed anything unimportant into the nearest trash can.
Following the map, she found her way to the dining hall, flinching
away from anyone closeby and keeping close to the wall. Too
crowded. I swear if my powers decide to flare up any time soon I'm
going t- She cut off her own thoughts abruptly at the smell of
food and looked up from the floor. Her fingers felt slightly
tingly, a bad sign for her. Not now, not now, not now, she
thought with a hint of panic. She turned around, only to almost
crash into Dustin.
"Wo-woah there!" Dustin says chuckling a bit as he takes a step
back. He looks at the girl, finding her slightly familiar but then
shrugs it off. He hasn't seen her around the academy before, so she
must be the new girl, he thought. "You must be the new girl, I'm
Dustin." He says holding his hand out, gesturing for the girl to
shake his hand, a small grin slipping onto his face. He looks her
up and down, curious to what her powers could be.
Don't lose control. Don't lose control, Raven willed herself
as she hesitantly shook Dustin's hand. Of course, then she lost
control. Electricity escaped from her hand, shocking Dustin. "I'm
sorry!" she squeaked, the tingling fading. He seemed slightly
familiar but she ignored it, more concerned about whether she
electrocuted him or not.
Dustin jumped back a bit, startled by the shock. He then just
smiled a bit and laughed it off. "That's pretty cool girl, so you
can control electricity?" He asks, looking at his hand, seeing no
marks or anything. "Oh and you didn't tell me your name, I mean you
don't have to, but if you don't I'll have to call you girl." He
says raising his eyebrows a bit and watching her, slightly
intrigued by her power.
"I'm Raven," she replied. "Yeah, its not the easiest thing to
control though. I've tried, it just never really works. It decides
when it wants to be let loose." She considered fleeing to go keep
fixing her old laptop or something, but instead a question escaped.
"So what can you do?"
"Well nice to meet you Raven." He begins, as the question of what
he could do arised, he became much more outgoing. He began using
his hands to talk, waving them around a bit as he began, "Well I'm
a shadow bender! I can control shadows and use them for my own
will... they don't always listen though; since shadows have a mind
of there own.. and I sometimes pass out from overuse, but the
shadows are super powerful and controlling them is like having my
own little minions." He finishes grinning proudly. His stomach
growls loudly and he huffs a bit, "Hey, why don't you come with me
and we can get some breakfast, you gotta be hungry right?"
"Sounds interesting," Raven replied. "Yeah, I was originally headed
for breakfast but then I felt my electricity going a little
haywire, but I'm good now. I would've just gone around you but I
decided to be polite, which resulted in shocking you. The last time
I did that was when I was 7." She thought the last bit was a little
unnecessary, but she couldn't take it back now. It's not like it
was going to hurt anything. "What do they usually have for
breakfast here anyway?" she asked, straying back to the topic.
Dustin pursed his lips a bit upon hearing the last part about
shocking someone. He thought about the scar on his left cheek but
didn't have the guts to say anything. "It depends how the cooks are
feeling, but usually something like eggs or pancakes, generic
breakfast foods." He says rolling his eyes and walking into the
dining hall. He walks slightly quickly past the people and glances
back, making sure he doesn't lose Raven in the mix of people.
Raven followed him nervously. Usually it took a while for the
electricity to become restless once it built up again but after
shocking Dustin she was twice as nervous. Catching up to him
instead of lagging behind, she pulled out her schedule. "What do
you have for your classes?" she asked.
"Let's see, first period math, second period science, third period
power control, then lunch, fourth period history, fifth period
english/grammar. What's your classes?" He asks as they reach the
line, he grabs two trays, handing one to Raven and begins going
down the line.
"Oh cool, guess we'll be seeing each other a lot then." Dustin says
grinning a bit and grabbing a plate of pancakes off the line. He
continues down, grabbing an orange juice and nodding at the lunch
lady. He grabbed a fork and a knife and waited for Raven to pick
what she wanted.
After a moment of thought, Raven grabbed waffles, a muffin and
apple juice. She followed Dustin. "So now what?" She was already
almost halfway through one of her waffles.
Dustin takes a bite of his pancakes and looks at Raven, "Well after
breakfast we are supposed to head to first class. Unless you wanted
me to show you around the academy. The teachers and I are pretty
close so it wouldn't be a problem that we are late." He says,
guzzling down his orange juice.
"You should probably show me around the academy. I'll probably fall
into some random cliff or something without knowing it," Raven
replied. She took another bite of her waffle, no longer eating
quite as fast as before.
Dustin finishes up his waffles and his juice, letting out a small
yawn. "I think you would fall off a random cliff, not fall into."
He says grinning and leaning back slightly, holding his now empty
tray loosely between his fingers.
