Elemental High (Open)

[complex_ity_]

Name: Lacey
Species: Lamia
Powers (if any): Prophecy and the ability to temporarily remove her eyes
Age: 19 years old
Real age: 2000 years old

History: The original Lamia was a Queen of Libya in Ancient Greece, who became a child-murdering demon when a goddess stole her children away. In the 2nd century novelist Lucius Apuleius Platonicus created the term Lamiae - with the myth of Lamia in mind - as a supposedly fictional species for his novel The Golden a**. What Apuleius thought was a vampiric woman that reminded him of Lamia was actually Lacey.

Lacey is a descendant of the first Lamia, and she has inherited the gifts that Zeus first gave her 'mother'. Since approximately 1100 BC she has been wandering the earth and perpetuating the stories of both Lamiae and vampires. She's come to Elemental High to recuperate after many many years of loneliness and despair; she hopes to live as a normal teenager for at least a time. She hides her characteristic snake's tail by constantly wearing long and flowing dresses with dragging trains.

Food: Lamia can eat as a human does, although she prefers animal meat, but she's never shown a weakness for child's flesh as her ancestor did
Appearance:
Dorm (Co-ed 1-15) or off campus: 7

Lacey arrived on the grounds of Elemental High inconspicuously, which is saying something, considering that day she wore a lengthy white gown that could easily have been mistaken for a wedding dress. Her tail chafed slightly against the dirt of the path, but Lacey didn't expect that she would go outdoors often while attending this school. She towed a single black rolling traveller's luggage that contained about a quarter of her possessions, and for the rest of the week while she settled in, she would wait for her other garment bags to arrive. Lamia proceeded deliberately towards the dorm marked number seven, and she took the longest route possible to delay the eventuality of having to meet the assigned roommate she'd been told she had.

after hearing the shutting of door and shuffling steps all around in the halls tala decided that it was a good time as any to start putting things away. so she pealed herself off her bed and looked around the non descript room with a sigh. she would have to do somthing about that. she didn't like white walls, white furneture, cream carpets... the blandness of it all was enough to drive her mad.

As soon as Lacey entered the doors of her new dorm, she had to step to the side to avoid a shower of broken glass. She didn't bother to look up, instead taking care to make sure the sensitive flesh of her tail wasn't cut. She might be only partly human, but she still had all the sensitivity of real skin. Lacey continued to look straight ahead, not looking for the one responsible for the destruction, because who knew who the perpetrator might be. She had no idea what any of the other students in this school were like, and it might be just her luck to have a troublemaker as her roommate. Maybe or maybe not. To ascend the stairs she had to pull down the handle of her luggage, and she hefted the weight of the bag up into the air with a single strong hand.

Erika sighed. "Come one, we probably should leave unpacking for later and head out to campus" she mumbled. He nodded as he took her hand and they returned to the black car that awaited them in the driveway.

"Erika, try not to be too loud about us being vampires this time ok?" said Tristan, kindly, with a hint of laughter in his voice, as he quickly leant over and kissed her on the cheek. "Remember last time when you got too excited about all the new people?"

"Yeah, I promise," she replied, grinning from ear to ear, her red eyes glinting from the little light that entered the car.

after thowing things into drawrs in a haphazard way for her she stopped and went back seperating each type of clothing, refolded it and put it in the dresser in an organized fasion. she hated haveing a slight case of o.c.d but at least it didn't run her life like it did others. after looking around, she kicked her case under the bed with her random things that she would put away later when she had more time. for a moment she debated becoming familiar with the room when no one was in there and figured that she should. taking a glove off her right hand she began running her fingers over the walls, furneture and cringed when she got to the bed, seeing flashes of not only things that had happened in it but dreams of it's past occupants. she sighed as she moved to the door and thankfully too many people had touched the door for it to be too clear.

after she put her glove back on everything was blisfully blank in her mind but now she could feel the anxious emotions around her. but it would fade it always did after her mind rested again.

her steps were silent as she walked out into the hall and strode roughly past students without looking at anyone. the meeting on campus was an anual thing and she did like hearing the anouncements considering she didn't like asking people what she had missed. she more likely scowl at them instead. the best way to survive is to avoid baggage and a person, most likely untrustworthy, would be just that.

Jaimie steadily walked toward the library books pushed against her chest, her fingers digging into the books.

Sailine put the cigarette out and flicked the butt.

Lacey passed another girl on the way up the steps, but except for a slight nod, she barely acknowledged her. Lacey didn't think she wanted to know the human anyways - she seemed the troublesome type, exactly the sort of curiousity that had tried to end her life numerous times before - and so she didn't follow up her nod with even a polite hello.  

[Dark_Rose_Aeris]

Tristan pulled into a carpark with effortless grace. Once again both he and Erika got out of the car. Both looked as though they had just stepped off a runway in Milan, even though they were modestly dressed and didn't put much effort into what they wore. Erika stared at the building.

"Nervous?" asked Tristan, teasing her slightly.

"A little," she replied smiling, "But i think i'll survive."

She ran up to the door at a human pace and entered, poking her head out again to poke her tongue out at Tristan.

"Come on! You're so slow!" she complained.

"Here we go again..." sighed Tristan with a smile.  

[The Original Syn]

Jaimie walked outside she noticed a girl sitting on the stairs. Jaimie steadily walked past her trying not to catch her scent.

"Hey." Sailine said to the girl walking past her.

"Uh hi. I have to go sorry." Jaimie started moving quicker away from the girl.

As Lacey climbed past yet another bend in the stairs, she heard activity below her. "Hi," the girl she'd just passed must have said. So there were other people in this dorm. But the floors that Lacey went through were silent and ghostly.  

[Velsaria]

Name: Runa Darmiat
Species: Elf Vampire
Powers (if any): Elven magic, telepathy with all creatures and also some psychic power. Her psychic magic is untrained causing her visions to come in flashes which can be terrifying and make it both a blessing and a curse
Age: 17
Real age: 21

History:She's a bit of an oddity. Despite her powers, for most of her life Runa thought she was a human girl. Freaky human girl, yes, nonhuman no. Her family was half Japanese and half Irish with her grandmothers on both sides have a large amount of knowledge on lore.Sensing the girl's power both women claimed that she was really a changeling, a fairy exchanges as an infant for a human for whatever reason. Growing up she had to teach herself to control her powers to an extent but she never managed to do this with her psychic ablilty. A few weeks before she became a vampire she began seeing horrific fragmented visions of a day when her family would be killed. Before it happened that night she recognized an event from her vision but it was too late and her family was killed trying to protect her and her younger sisters from her hositile vampires. Another coven came to drive off the murderers but her family was dead and she had already been bitten. They decided to turn her and take her into their coven. Some of the members of the coven were also elven vampires and, recognizing her for what she really was, too to teaching her. Runa had grown stronger and had begun to adapt to her new life when some frighting information was discovered involving her families murders: Runa alone had been their main target. The vampires who killed her family had known about her powers and thought she would be a valuable asset to their coven, and they knew she was still alive. Worse yet it seemed they weren't the only ones. Fearing for her coven she left, ignoring their pleads for her to stay. She wandered for a while before winding up at the school, hoping to find safe haven for at least a while she tries to find answers about her past.

Personality: Despite her tragic past Runa still tries to look at the brighter side of things and smile. She's normally laid back easy going but if pushed too far she can loose her temper and becomes dangerous. She especially despises those who pick on people weaker or different form themselves and is protective of those being picked on and people she cares for. She loves all forms of the arts, reading, writing and hiking. She tends to be rather quiet around people until she gets to know them better. She's intelligent, caring and clever.She is slow to trust but when some one is her friend she'd do whatever it takes to protect them

Appearance:{Picture coming soon} Runa is just over 6"2 tall and her skin is as pale as moonlight.Her face is oddly elegant and beautiful but unique. Strangely her eyes practically remained their original colour when she was turned. They shift from a brilliant turquios to yellow-green and grow lighter or darker depending on her mood and hunger.S has waste length pale gold hair that she often streaks or dyes with temporary dye. She ties it back with scarfs, braids or wears it in buns. She hates conforming deliberately makes herself stand out, wearing unusual clothing, a lot of which she makes herself, which often makes her look like she stepped out of a fantasy movie or manga.

Food: Runa is a vegetarian vampire but also has the ability to eat some normal foods.

Dorm (Co-Ed 1-15) or off campus: 7, but also lives half off campus at times

Name: Darkmoon
Species: Appears to be a cat
Powers (if any): His know powers are clairvoyance, telepathy and psychic. He can also sense the true emotions of thoughts in creatures or left behind in objects or places.
Age: Unknown acts about mid to late teens
Real age:

History:Like Runa his background is mysterious. Not long after she left her coven Runa found Darkmoon. The young cat was being attacked by a misty shadow figure which fled after Runa came. She healed the cat and he's been with her ever since. Wherever she goes he will follow and he often rides on her shoulder or in the bag she carried her books and sketchbook in, either sticking out his head or curled up for a nap during long boring class.

Personality: Darkmoon is tends to be more of joker and laid back. He is cautious in who he trust but usually more out going. He's clever and friendly but does have a temper however and is dangerous to anger, especially if someone tries to hurt a friend. He cares deeply about others and is intelligent and wise, despite not seeming so at times. Towards Runa and his close friends he seems like a loving brother.

Appearance: Darkmoon is a sleek and handsome cat with a large brilliant amethyst eyes. His fur is jet black other then a white upwards facing crescent moon on his chest.
Food: He will eat mice if he has to but prefers cream, fish, seafood, beef, chicken and other 'people foods'.  

[Velsaria]

Runa closed the door to the dorm room with her foot and headed over to flop down on the bed, dropping her bags on the floor at the foot end. A startled muffled meow came from the one and a sleek black cat squirmed out.

"Be careful with me!" He scolded both in her mind and with verbal meows of complaint. " What was that for anyways? I was having a nice nap."

"It's about time you woke up anyways," she said sitting up. "You've been asleep most of the day.So what do you think?"

"It's ok. I've seen better, though." He decided with catly impudence.

"I'm sorry your majesty, but high end first class apartments that allow pets are rare here." She teased him, fully knowing what his response would be.

"I'm not a pet!" He yowled in protest. " I am a dignified creature, owned by no one."

"Oh calm down, I know your not." She told him scratching his head. " Who or what do you think we'll have for a roommate if we have one?"

" I don't know." He yawned. " Maybe another nonhuman. I sensed quite a few vampires and other creatures on the way here. Hopefully they'll be a cat lover."

" And if anyone here tries to eat you-"

" I'll claw their eyes out" He interupted. "I more worried about you. With some many vampires here it could be harder to tell if any are working for the ones who are after you."  

[Aradia Helevorn]

Tala paused for a moment after noticing the breif nod and did nothing in return. after all she could tell it was just out of reflex, not really intending for conversation. after all no one would want to converse with her anyway. she was a loner for obvious measure. the quiet, the distand and known for being the ice queen of her generation. only once did it have to happen, only once did a fellow student go after her in the past. a vampire couldn't hold themselves to her lavender like smell and lost it. luckily some others interveined and she managed to get out of range quick enough. even to this day it surprised her. which was surprising, she knew that she was a freak with her senses and angled ears but she was human for all she knew. besides her herataige meant nothing.

the camus yard was filled with friendly and energetic people anxious and excited as they met up with old friends and made new ones. she did nothing but stand there with her arm's crossed. after all why should she make an attempt? even if she did promise herself to try and be more open. after all she wasn't going to be this young forever like some of the others will be. she just had no idea how to go about doing even this simple change of actions. she had been an assasin, not a hostiss.

(Hey, Velsaria, good to see you again - I know our other RP is experiencing another one of its dead spells right now. Do you want to be my roommate this time around?)
