Age: 70+
Gender: Female
Position: Head of Modern Magi Academy and Agency
History: Mam founded the Academy and set it on its mission over half a century ago. Before then, little is known of her, though she clearly had some training in her abilities. She found the dilapidated Keep and built it back up to its former glory, and still runs it to this day. She is the head of the entire institution and she creates the rules. Searchers and teachers come into contact with her most often, and she often gives them new missions via cell phone.
Power: A form of Clairvoyance that allows her to located new Magi when their powers arise (Mental)
Personality: Mam is by no means the little old lady she appears; she is active and sharp like a needle, and (as Searchers will attest) oftentimes a bit annoying. She is caring to all of her Magi, but she has a habit of giving Searchers new jobs while they are already busy. When necessary, Mam can be shrewd and calculating, handing out assignments that can appear rather cold in order to protect the Academy and all of its students. She remains well-respected and an honored figure that most of the Magi would march to war for.
Appearance: Short and a bit squat, with small eyes and black-gray hair tied in a bun. She wears plum, berry, or dull pink dress suits most of the time, but she manages to find clothes that still allow her to meditate.

Age: 33
Gender: Male
Position: Weapons Master/Trainer
History: Not much is known about Tornac’s history, and he generally tends not to talk about it. He has some background in fighting, and has a well-rehearsed knowledge of weapons, both ancient and modern.
Power: Able to move extremely quickly (Physical)
Personality: Tornac is brusque and skeptical, but friendly nonetheless. He hands out praise when needed, but also criticism openly. Although he is a noted fighter and a masterful warrior, Tornac is constantly rushing to complete tasks, and will often have to repeat things twice before they get done properly. When he is in a good mood, Tornac will occasionally show off to the younger Trainees.
Appearance: Tornac is tall and muscular, an imposing figure who can be intimidating at first. His warm smile and gentle teaching proves otherwise, however. He had sharp reflexes and moves around faster than necessary whenever he wants something done. He usually carries a weapon or two with him, but being a master of every variety of weapon, he changes them out from time to time.

Age: 32
Gender: Male
Position: Head Healer
History: Noden was a medical student when his powers first appeared, a late power-developer. For about a year he honed his skills for his practice and used them occasionally to help his patients. As such, when he was picked up by a Searcher, he had a good deal of control with his powers. He knew immediately that he wanted to be a Healer, and in a very short span of time, he improved the practices of the Modern Magi’s healers. He is one of the very few Healers regarded with respect. While he is an excellent Healer, Noden’s powers and control make him a wise choice in a soldier, if that should be necessary.
Power: Noden can remove foreign bodies in a sick person (Mental) and he can knock a person out with magic (Unique)
Personality: Noden is serious in most situations, but usually able to keep a cool head. He does tend to become rather fastidious about his patients, however, and dislikes it when they leave before they are supposed to or when too many visitors come to see them. When not working, however, Noden can be a neat guy to hang out with, and he often has somewhat amusing stories to tell about the other Healers and the situations they have gotten themselves into. It should be noted that Noden is a medical person, though, and his sense of humor is not quite as amusing as he thinks it to be.
Appearance: Average height with very short ash-brown hair and bright blue eyes. He wears a white lab coat like many of the Healers, but is not adverse to removing it and wearing jeans and a long-sleeved shirt. He has one pierced ear, but usually removed his earring while working.

Age: 26
Gender: Male
Position: Head of Animal Care
History: Orolson was brought in at a younger age than most, having developed his powers when he was eight. He was very shy and reserved at first, but got along well with many of the Keep’s creatures. As he spent much of his time with the animals, he began to learn about their health and problems, and many Magi would come to him if their creatures were ill. After several years, he became the Head of Animal Care at the creature Caretion Center, and maintains the health of most of the Keep’s creatures.
Power: Able to communicate with any type of animal (Mental) and able to sense the malady in a sick creature (Mental).
Personality: Orolson is kind, but he cares quite a bit more for creatures than people. Rather than growing angry, however, he becomes shy and reclusive. He is gentle and considerate in most cases, and gets along better with a person who cares for their animals. Orolson is also a neat-freak, and while he can heal creatures quite well, he dislikes getting anything on his uniform.
Appearance: Orolson is a bit taller than average, has dirty-blonde hair cropped neatly and cut well, and he always keeps himself clean and presentable. He wears a Healer’s white coat and uniform, and seldom takes it off.

Age: 22
Gender: Male
Position: Experimental Technology Assistant
History: Jason’s history with the Agency is recent, with the Searcher Anya having found him along with Icefyre during an excursion a few years back. His knowledge and skills with electronic devices proved useful very quickly, so he was set to be in charge of the new devices that the Agency comes out with for its Magi.
Power: Technopathic, able to control technology with his mind (Mental)
Personality: Jason is fairly laid-back and friendly, easily able to talk with people. However, he has an unfortunate habit of becoming engrossed in his work and is easily distracted by computers or other electronic devices.
Appearance: Jason is an average height, with coppery brown hair and wireframe glasses. He wears fairly comfortable clothing rather than lavish garments, but he keeps himself clean most of the time.

Age: 25
Gender: Female
Position: Searcher
History: Though happy as a child, Nindeli suffered from a lack of control once her powers came out, resulting in a fate similar to many young Magi. Shortly after discovering her powers, and finding them fascinating, Nindeli made the mistake of showing them to one of her close friends. As a result, the friend was swept into a pool by the Mage’s powers and trapped until she drowned, leaving Nindeli horrified. She ran away from her home, living on the streets and trying her best not to use her powers. After a few weeks, a Searcher managed to find her, and reassured her that her powers were not so horrible. Since then, Nindeli has trained and excelled, becoming a Searcher herself. She has a soft spot for children and a deep sympathy for other Magi who suffered because their powers went out of control.
Power: Able to control water (Elemental)
Personality: Nindeli is cheerful and bubbly, an all-around nice person. She gets along well with others, though her constant happiness often brings resentment from the moodier Searchers. Her personality takes a turn for the worse, however, when a student tries to bully another about power control problems. She will only explode about this one issue, and gets furious at the bully in question. Along with this anger, she becomes hurt and saddened in memory of her friend whom she accidentally drowned.
Appearance: Nindeli has long sandy-blonde hair and bright blue eyes that match the color of clear ocean water. Her favorite color is blue, to no one’s surprise, and she often wears long dresses or skirts that match the blue waves she loves. Nindeli has a warm, pleasant face that is almost always smiling.

Age: 21
Gender: Female
Position: Searcher
History: Anlia was raised in a military family, with her two older brothers and her father always off at war or at some military docking office somewhere. Her mother passed away while Anlia was a baby, leaving the girl along for most of her life. As a result, she grew up as a characteristic “bad girl,” taking up bad habits at a young age, running off a few times, and stealing from anyone who walked by. The emergence of her powers changed that, striking fear into the girl’s heart for the first time as she emerged as an enormous wolf. Again she ran away, only to be found by a Searcher soon after. She accepted the offer to go to the Academy and her life changed immensely. Taking well to praise and the magical lessons, Anlia proved herself as an able-bodied fighter and a powerful mage, eventually winning the promotion to a Searcher.
Power: Transforms into a Direwolf (Shapeshifter)
Personality: Anlia is renowned throughout the Keep for her short temper and irritating pride in her work. She tends to overreact to just about anything, ranging from the cafeteria’s food one day, to her misplaced documents the next. Not a bad person, and a strong Mage by any respect, Anlia is strong-willed and reluctant to give up. Arguments with her have been known to last days. She takes a great deal of importance in her work, and tends to do her job quite well, though not to the ease of anyone else.
Appearance: Anlia has bedraggled brown hair flecked with bits of lighter and darker shades. Poking out of this hair is a pair of wolf ears which swivel around as she talks. She wears a black tanktop and camo-pants most of the time, with her arms covered in various tattoos. Her face is usually pulled into a smirk or a scowl, occasionally a growl to show her sharpened teeth, and her eyes are bright gold.

Age: 25
Gender: Female
Position: Vice-Head Searcher
History: One of the most efficient and pronounced of the Searchers, Charlotte has also been around the Agency since she was eleven. Her family was down on luck and money before her powers developed, so at an early age she was in charge of keeping track of records, taxes, and spending while her mother spent long days at work and her father spent even longer nights at bars. She paid little attention to her powers at first, but began to use them as another tool in keeping track of things, until one day she was greeted by a Searcher. Sensing this to be the path of greatest profit, Charlotte went to the Academy and trained to be a Searcher. She became one at fourteen, one of the youngest in the Agency’s history, but it was only when she turned twenty that she became the Vice-Head (the Head Searcher at the time being Icefyre).
Power: Telepathy and mind-searching (Mental)
Personality: Charlotte is very precise in her work, and can be very stingy if anyone threatens to upset her hard efforts. However, her methodical and delicate way of figuring out problems often leads to the best results. She can be harsh and cruel at times, reluctant to let her emotions ever affect her work, but no one ever doubts the truth on Charlotte’s statements.
Appearance: Charlotte is a little short, with brown hair cut to her shoulders. She has bluish-gray eyes that often seem bored, which are usually magnified by high-prescription glasses.

Age: 25
Gender: Male
Position: Searcher
History: Braydonne came to the Keep when he was thirteen, and several years after, he made up his mind to train to become a Searcher. After many more long years of work, he fulfilled that goal, and remains one of the top Searchers. He is one of the Magi in charge of obtaining information about and fighting the Angels. He is most often seen around the Training Area, working with Tornac. On occasion he is called in to retrieve a new recruit.
Power: Telekinesis (Mental) and Ventriloquism (Parlor Trick).
Personality: Braydonne was once very carefree, and as a Trainee he loved to pull pranks, but since then he has matured and is remarkably disciplined. Even so, his sense of humor comes across every now and then during Searcher meetings, making him quite a handful during discussions. On the battlefield, though, he is reliable and noble.
Appearance: Tall and broad with tanned skin and dark brown hair. His hair is fairly long and held up in a short pony-tail. Braydonne usually wears shorts and a thin shirt, but if it gets too cold, he will throw on a brown leather jacket.

Age: 21
Gender: Male
Position: New Arrival Assimilator
History: As a boy with a unique power, Kole did not blend in very well as a New Arrival, but once he grew used to the prospect of being a Mage, he decided to help out with the other New Arrivals. With a good personality, he helped to comfort many of the other students, and was assigned the caretaker of the New Arrival: Boys room. He is not much of a fighter or a skilled magic user, however.
Power: Able to change his appearance at will (Unique/Shapeshifter?).
Personality: Kole has an amiable personality and gets along well with kids younger than him. He is a generally silly and childish person, but this is all to the advantage with his position. He can be serious when necessary, but he would make a poor Searcher.
Appearance: It is difficult to tell, as he tends to change his appearance often, but Kole’s initial form is an inch or two shorter than average, with strawberry-blonde hair and a small bit of stubble on his face. He wears a colorful t-shirt (orange, green, red, or blue) and khaki pants almost every day.

Age: 22
Gender: Female
Position: New Arrival Assimilator
History: Laurenna arrived at the Keep at around the same time as Kole, and she had a similar fun-loving nature that made her great with kids. She fit in best with the New Arrivals even as a Trainee, but could never get along with anyone her age or older (Kole included; she has constant feuds with him). She was placed as the Assimililator for the New Arrivals: Girls room partly because of her attitude toward children, and partly to keep her from freezing up her peers and teachers. Needless to say, she will not be getting a Searcher position any time soon.
Power: She can freeze time in small pockets around her, making it difficult to run away from her if she doesn’t want you to (Physical).
Personality: Laurenna loves children and has an endless patience with kids. She can be outgoing and fun at times, and also gentle and maternal if that seems necessary. But while she would never raise a finger at a child, Laurenna has a sharp temper, and has a bit of a history of losing control of her powers, although that happens rarely now.
Appearance: Laurenna is active, wearing shorts, tennis shoes, and a light t-shirt most of the time. Her tawny hair is worn pulled back under a hair band, and she wears a series of bangles on her wrists and ankles. These are in fact slightly magical, and amplify her abilities.

Age: 42
Gender: Male
Position: Commander of the Angels, Supreme Head, ect.
History: Mitch was Anya’s stepfather, and an avid member of an extreme church. He despised his stepdaughter and treated her brutally, eventually forcing the girl to run off. He came to hate her powers very quickly, and once he found out about the rest of the Magi, that hatred grew just as fast. Some years before the Magi came out to the public, he gathered up the other hateful members of his church and developed the Angels, placing himself as its head. Over the next few years, he developed the group until their impact reached a large group, and now he is bent on ridding the world of Demons once and for all.
Favored Weapon: Mitch prefers other agents under his command as a fighting “weapon,” or his strength and fists if it comes to a one-on-one fight.
Personality: Mitch is haughty and overbearing, Mitch is a cruel and imposing figure who knows no kindness other than vague approval. He is sharp and keen, able to think out circumstances and use others to his advantage. Mitch is highly manipulative and rarely trusts anyone enough to completely reveal his plans. He is prone to quick anger, however, and can be blinded by rage at times. His deepest hatred is of the Magi “Demons.”
Appearance: Mitch is quite tall and impressive, standing six feet, eight inches, and towers well over most men. He is also broad and muscular, lending to a great deal of strength. His eyes are dark, almost black, and his hair is much the same color, cut very short. His mouth is usually frowning, unless curled into a cruel smile.

Age: 37
Gender: Male
Position: Research Director
History: Unknown.
Favored Weapon:
Personality: Briswald is often knowledgeable and readily shares information, but he comes across as rather lazy and often bored with his job. He hates having to deal with younger recruits, and prefers to lay out a series of weapons and let them choose what they want. He is sharp to criticize and punish if necessary, but he is one of the more relaxed members of the Angels.
Appearance: The Director, as he is often called, is tall and thin, often wearing a leather lab coat that is either white or black. He has tinted glasses and short black hair, and often frowns with a lack of interest.

Age: 29
Gender: Male
Position: New Recruit Manager
History: Unknown.
Favored Weapon: Any generic rifle, though he is well-versed with most weapons.
Personality: Steve loves battle and loves to fight more than anything else. Were he not a part of the Angels, he would still fight in any way possible; Steve does not care which side he is on. His love of war and a chance to show off his glory can make him big-headed, and not terribly trustworthy, but his skills are appreciated. Beyond that, it is easy to get Steve to tag along with a mission as support, and he is easily persuaded in most ways. When not fighting, Steve is often challenging others to duels and spars, especially the younger recruits, and has his own small group of fans who follow him around. If anyone remarks about his shorter-than-average height, Steve’s temper goes through the roof.
Appearance: Steve is best recognized by either his burly forearms, multiple tattoos, fan club, or his short stature. It is a well-known fact among the Angels that no one makes a comment on Steve’s height, for fear of their head becoming his next target practice.

Age: 24
Gender: Female
Position: Top Agent
History: Manora was recruited at a young age, joining up with the Angels out of resentment of her older brother, a constant bully to her who ended up a Mage in his late teens. Since then, Manora developed a strong hatred of the Magi and sought out the Angels for training. She excelled very quickly, eventually becoming one of the top agents and a known “Demon Slayer.” She also differed from other Angels by seeking out the mythical “monsters” that accompanied the Magi, putting a dent in the populations of many magical beasts. She was involved to some extent with the toxin that spread around the magical creatures several years ago.
Favored Weapon: Twin katana swords and an AK-47.
Personality: Manora is just as cold and merciless as the other Angels, but she is a bit more amiable than most other agents. She smiles often and loves to crack jokes, often at the expense of others, but Manora is generally fun to hang around. She has a soft spot for the younger recruits, considering them “cute,” even if they are already brutally trained. When working, however, she is ruthless as a fighter and if often considered a one-woman juggernaut.
Appearance: Manora has short, almost boyish red hair and dresses in casual clothing much of the time. Do not let her simple appearance fool you, however; her clothes are custom-made to hide her katatas in their sheaths, and her AK fits neatly to her back when disassembled and covered by her coat. She blends in well in most crowds, which, combined with her sharp eyes, makes her a difficult enemy to find.

This is a list of the known Magi powers. This is not at all to say that there cannot be others, but these particular powers have some rules to go with them. Your Mage can have up to two of these "primary" powers, in any combination. Your character cannot have more than one shapeshifting form, however.

~Shapeshifting~
Some Magi have the ability to assume the form of a magical creature. These creatures must be Magistream-type creatures. They can become any one creature, be it Quest, Donation, Stream, ect., but they cannot become anything that is longer than fifty feet. They can use the powers of their animal in either human or animal form, with the exception of a power that requires, for example, wings. Your Mage cannot fly as a human if he or she does not have wings. Shapeshifters may or may not be able to control their power at certain times of the day or when they are angry, it simply depends on their ability to control their power.
Shapeshifting is quick, and by way of special magical chips from the Modern Magi Agency and Academy, your character does not have to worry about losing clothing or objects when they shift between forms. Whatever they had with them originally comes right back to them when they turn human again. This same chip allows Shapeshifters to speak when in animal form, but as of yet, no one at the Keep has fixed all of the bugs with the translation system. When in creature form, the chips will blurt out everything that Mage is thinking (in a metallic, monotone voice, of course).

~Elemental~
Elemental Magi have power over a particular element, sometimes two. They can create, change, control, and are resistant to these elements, often at the cost of being more susceptible to others. Magi of one element (fire, for example) will be weak to another element (water, in this case). Elemental Magi are very diverse, among the most commonly found, and as a result, their powers are not easily defined. One Water Mage might be able to do things in a different way than another, and their weaknesses will be different as well. Like with all magics, the use of Elemental powers drains energy. Elemental powers drain more engery than any others, and in the Modern Magi Agency/Academy, it is not uncommon for even seasoned Magi to lose control and wreck havoc with their Elemental powers before passing out. The Elemental powers that have been observed include, but are not limited to: Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Ice, Magma, Metal, Weather, Temperature, Light, and Darkness. Some Elementals can have two Elemental powers, but they cannot have any other primary power.

~Mental~
Magi with Mental powers can use their minds in magical ways. This area is very diverse, and can relate to finding objects, reading thoughts, or manipulating objects without touching them. Magi who can detect something with their mind always have some sort of limited range, as do any other type of Mental Mage. Magi with telekinetic powers cannot pick up water or fire, and cannot move air; they can pick up any solid object and move it around. Mental Magi cannot set things on fire with their minds, as this is considered an Elemental power. The ability to create a shield around oneself is included in this category.

~Physical~
Physical magical powers are any adaptations to a Mage’s speed, strength, or agility which allows them to do superhuman feats. This power includes the ability to slow or freeze time. Physical magic is known to be among the most tiresome, but also one of the most powerful. It is important to remember, however, that no Mage can be entirely resistant, and even the strongest, toughest Physical Magi can be damaged.

~Natural~
Natural powers include two categories: Floral and Faunal. Floral powers allow Magi to communicate with, grow, and control plants. Faunal powers allow Magi to communicate with, control, and befriend animals as they please. These abilities are highly useful, but difficult to control, and often leave the Mage in question without a direct for of attacking or defending themselves.

Secondary powers include anything small or minor that cannot be counted as a primary power. These powers might sometimes come in handy, but most of them are simple little features of your character. Your character can have two of these powers, regardless of how many Primary powers your character has.

~Senses~
This pertains to any special hearing, sense of smell, or sight that your Mage might have. In most cases, it is something as simple as seeing in the dark or over a fairly long distance; this does not include the ability to detect things such as danger or magically find hidden objects (those would be mental powers). Very often, Sense powers relate to a Mage who has animal characteristics, such as ears or eyes.

~Eyes~
Some Magi have eyes that can change color or shape, and some have eyes that are similar to animal eyes. As long as these eyes cannot do anything on their own, their unusual eyes are considered a secondary power.

~Wings, Claws, Teeth, Tails~
A few Magi have animal-like characteristics that do not grant them any real powers. These are almost always magical animal attributes, and do not exclusively allow the Mage to shapeshift. Occasionally a Mage with wings develops the ability to fly, but this is usually imperfect and works better as a gliding mechanism. Most of these secondary power features are for show (or to get in the way when dressing).

~Parlor Tricks~
Much to the dismay of the Searchers and older students, a favorite ability of the Trainees is that of camouflaging objects, animating them to fly away, ventriloquism, duplicating playing cards, and similar parlor tricks. These magical powers can only be done in small forms, and are generally silly or useless. They are, however, excellent for annoying your elders!

~ Follow all Magistream rules, including those of the Roleplay Stage.
~ Censor your swearing, should it come up.
~ Please do not use real names or try to make characters based off of people you know, for the sake of privacy.
~ Romance is allowed and encouraged, but do not go further than kissing. Keep it PG-13.
~ The same goes for gore; keep it PG-13 and don't go into excessive detail.
~ Treat all users with respect, and never flame in the roleplay or in the OOC thread.
~ Please do not power-play*, god-mod**, or otherwise control other characters.
~ Characters will die only by the consent of their user. If you decide to leave, your character will be up for grabs if another user wants to take them. If you simply vanish, I will keep track of your character’s form, but we will continue as though they never existed. Just pretend that everyone’s mind was erased if that does come to happen. If you would like to join up again, everyone will remember you again (magically!) and your character will have a spectacular excuse for having missed the past week/month/year.
~ Try to post at least once per week, though more often is certainly encouraged. If you will be gone, just PM me or post in the OOC thread. If you have not notified me of your absence and over two weeks have passed without your posting (either in here or in the OOC; I understand the issue if you require another user to post before you do), then I will PM you and post a reminder in the thread. If after 72 hours you still have not posted, then your character will be forfeit to another user if they would like to play as that character. If no one chooses to continue with your character, then it will go in a magical “save file” that you can request back if you return at a later time.
~ Write as much as you like in each post, but keep in mind that the story is more interesting if you post more. One liners are the only things I will not accept in this roleplay; if you are struggling to add detail to your post, consider your character's history, thoughts, and surroundings.
~ Use proper grammar and spelling. If there are superfluous mistakes in your form, I will reject your entry, and likewise if your posts are littered with mistakes that affect the legibility of the post.
~ Post your character form in the OOC thread.

~ You may play as many characters as you can handle, but keep in mind that my rule for absent characters still stands if you neglect one or several of your characters.
~ Genders do not need to be even. Angel characters and Mage characters do have to be roughly even.
~ Please fill out all parts of the form in detail.
~ Please include a description under “Appearance.” You may compliment (not replace) this with a picture, but if you do so, you must list the artist and/or the website where you found the image.
~ You may have up to two pets per character. Each magical pet is able to communicate with their own Mage through telepathy (if you want your creature to do so); non-magical animals cannot speak unless that is listed as one of your character’s powers. Magical pets may differ slightly from the Magistream norm, in color or appearance, but please do not make up new magical animals.
~ Your Mage may have up to two Primary and two Secondary powers. However, every Primary power needs to have a severe defect to it; I will not let “exhaustion” or “it is really hard to use” count as defects. “Every time Jack shapeshifts, he cannot turn back for at least an hour” or “Jill can only use her electricity power when she is outside” are acceptable defects.
~ Your character does not need to have any primary powers.
~ Angels can only use their weapons a certain number of times before reloading (if a distance weapon) or stopping briefly to catch their breath (if a melee weapon). This “Attack Number” is affected by an Angel’s strength, weapon type, weapon weight, and how many weapons they have. The maximum Attack Number for any character (totaling all weapons) is 21*.
*Rapid-firing guns are given an Attack Number that tells the number of seconds they may be used before reloading.
~ In addition to Power Defects or Attack Numbers, every character must have some character flaws that pertain to their mental well-being, physical abilities, or personality.
~ Please distinguish between a “Crush” and a “Significant other” if you fill out that portion of the form. It may be edited as the story progresses.
~ Unless that is your character’s power, please obey the laws of physics. Magic aside, regular humans cannot jump twenty feet in the air or fall onto broken glass shards and get up unscathed. The same goes for technology; at the Keep and with the Angels, it is slightly futuristic, but it cannot alter the laws of the universe (magic is a bit different).
~ Angels may have machine guns (hand-held), and nothing more dramatic. If it causes world-destroying explosions or always provides an instant kill, it does not go here.
~ All Angels report to Mitch and all Magi report to Mam. These people are not always available, but they will often be able to see or speak with your character. If not, your character will be dealt with by another high-authority figure. For New Arrivals, please be patient with the Searcher characters as they do have to come find you before you can come to the Keep.
~ Anyone may play any of the relevant NPCs in a scene, unless they would like to claim that character. When playing an NPC, you must follow their personalities and traits as the forms show them. If something is missing, however (like their history or some of their powers, for example), then you may add to their traits.
~ Classes at Modern Magi Academy and Agiency are relaxed; your character may attend whatever classes they want to, except that New Arrivals may not attend the more complicated courses. Meditation, the most basic and essential class, is taught every hour.
~ Searchers may attend the most complicated classes, but they also must go to missions sent to them by Mam. Every Searcher had a cell phone with which they receive calls about assignments.
~ Angels receive orders through messengers who run through the halls. They report to the person they are told to go to for the mission, and they complete it as soon as they are ready. Angels cannot opt out of a mission.
~ Mage New Arrivals are assigns to a large room based on gender; once they have assimilated into the Keep, they can earn their own room as a Trainee. Angel New Recruits are given a new room immediately.
~ Angels and Magi all have their own basic supplies and their pets (if any) as belongings. The Keep and the Angel HQ both have tools and technologies (and vehicles/flying mounts) that any agent or Mage above New Arrival or New Recruit may use. However, these devices do not belong to any individual student or agent.
~ Shapeshifter Trainees and beyond all have the special chips mentioned in the fourth post (under “Powers”).

Age: 21
Gender: female
Crush/Significant Other (optional): does not wish for one.
Appearance: 5'4 Heather is mildly teased at being small or petite her frame thin but not physically fit, her figure hour-glass like but shapely her skin is pale with a slight bluish-hue and splattered thoroughly with dark freckles. Her copper red hair may seem uncared for as it is often trying to curl on her and frizzy she keeps it tied back in a fair bun but when down touches the middle of her back. Glasses also adorn her face their rims oval shaped and frames brown she is constantly pushing them up with an index finger to keep them covered as they are strangely not used for their intended purpose of clearer sight. She always wears a semi-pained smile on her face and constantly rubs at a temple now and then as if suffering from a constant headache.
Personality: some call Heather a pushover but really she can be stubborn as a mule as her small form and meek body language suggest she is shy but really she loves to talk and make friends when she can. She almost seems desperate for a conversation at times and yet at others will act quietly often having people wonder if something’s wrong when really she is just being lazy and tired or suffering from a horrible migraine. Her temper though hard to flare will grow and grow until pushed one too many times she'll snarl and grumble and growl at the person who unfortunately is in the way later causing her much sorrowful apologies and guilty feeling for having been so emotionally ugly. She is very much self-conscious of her eyes and refuses to stare to long at one person often looking away or up and somewhere else almost snidely which makes most people she doesn’t know a bit miffed at her motions.
History: Raised in a small town where most people knew one another Heathers parents rarely had any interest in her life as they figured in such a small town nothing much could happen besides alcohol. Their only care was that she get through school and go make a life of her own. Unfortunately unable to make friends due to very few children about in town she didn't have very many people to rely or count on when things where rough so she grew up containing what she truly feels and dealing with things herself. Finally haven grown old enough she left quickly but with some hesitation for a large city and struggles to get by at her low end job trying to earn enough for a community college if anything just so she can learn something more. She loves books and things and wishes nothing more at times but to read. As Heather grew more accustomed to her new life she took a new blow, her powers developing suddenly at the age of twenty she soon found people fearful and hateful of her. Shaken by this new development and many comments on her frightful and terrible eyes in tears she looked desperately for away to cure herself of this new problem only to find and eagerly follow into the magi’s steps. Her power still developing she is nervous as to what else could someday show be it far worse or some sort of restraint she hopes for the better.
Rank/Job: Healer
Power(s): (primary) Heathers eyes cause irrational terror; it slowly builds making the person become aware of some unnatural foreboding and paranoia followed by heart pounding, sweating, twitching, trembling and fight or flight symptoms to begin. Five or more seconds of staring in her eyes can cause the person even when looking away to retain some fearful memory of their effect and of course, trembling, pale-faced, glassy eyed and breath heavy as if just having escaped something terrible. More then thirty seconds of staring at her eyes causes weakening of the limbs followed by sudden fainting or paralysis but is easily recovered after a few moments or so leaving the victim shaken and clumsy for a little while. Up past three minutes can cause permanent damage to the psyche if not careful and possible active nervous/paranoid habits for the next few days due to shock. Those with weak wills and mental issues are doubly affected by her eyes.
Power Defects (only if you have Primary powers, at least one for each): Because this is a mental skill that is focused through her eyes she often gets headaches, dizzy spells, fainting and extreme pain. She is still new within her mental abilities so some things are still developing and she is not completely in control of the first as she must wear glasses as it’s the only buffer between her new found talent and the people she can affect. As her power blooms her often headaches can become sharp and explode through her mind causing serious pain and collapse for several days followed by a few sick days of rest.
Favored Weapon (optional): small hand gun.
Disabilities/Flaws: Heather because of her skin being somewhat thin is more susceptible to pain and bruising. She also has a few scars on her arms and legs from being clumsy and having fallen here and there. But a few across her knees can be somewhat painful as the scar tissue has left some aches and pains. She is also weak and not as strong as most other people having not worked much labor in her life.
Pet(s) (optional; limit of two; must be either non-magical or Magistream creatures): Black Tundra Tylluan male the name of Knocks. Found after a summer’s storm she carefully raised the poor battered fellow after being unable to find his parents. She loves Knock greatly and they seem to be the best of friends as he is constantly hanging at her shoulder reading and throwing some advice now and then with a peck of his beak at a word or a scratch of his talon paper after having dipped it in ink.

(he prefers his nickname, and few people aside from Mam and some of the other Searchers know his full name)
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Crush/Significant Other (optional): Anya (if she joins)
Appearance: Icefyre is quite tall at nearly 6'6", but this is small compared to his inconvenient eight-foot Gryphon height. He is muscular, but no body builder, and his strength while in human form is average at best. He has a delicate face with almost effeminate features, making him look a few years younger than he is. His short hair is a very pale platinum blonde, nearly white, and the tips of his hairs are "naturally" dyed blue (this is a side-effect of his shapeshifting ability). His eyes are sharp orange in the iris, but pass easily for brown in a gloomy city, though they reflect beams of light if shone directly at the cones. He has small ears and a long nose. Icefyre usually wears a casual t-shirt and jeans, the edges of which may be frosted from his constant chilly presence. He wears this regardless of the season, as it takes a very strong blizzard to make him cold.
Personality: Icefyre is intimidating at a first glance, but in reality, he is fairly laid-back and easy-going. He gets along well with the New Arrivals, but can become irritated with the other Searchers. He doesn't like to work especially hard, but he does what he is asked, and this often leads him to stay up late doing Mam's paperwork. Icefyre is gullible and quick to believe a liar, though he doesn't often lie himself. If left without instruction, he becomes restless and uncertain. When he needs to become cold-hearted and serious, Icefyre can do so without blinking, though whatever happens will bother him later.
History: Icefyre's history mirrors thousands of students who have passed through the halls of the Keep in decades and centuries past. He was unaware of his ability until it appeared in his eleventh year, suddenly, and in the middle of a schoolhouse sports field. While the children were surprised to see their friend turn into an enormous bird-like creature, no one was more surprised than Icefyre. He ran through the field, panicking, trying to get out of sight, and he ended up in the middle of a forest. A Searcher from the Modern Magi Academy found him there, still in Gryphon form, and after a fairly one-sided conversation, the Searcher invited Icefyre to come to the Academy. He walked through the portal and has lived at the Academy ever since.
After much training, he rose to the rank of Searcher, and took a liking to rescuing other magi in the same position that he was in so long ago. A few years back, the rest of the world found out about the magi through a series of incidents that Icefyre was involved with. Since then, he has become the Head Searcher and one of the coordinators for the defensive collaboration with the other magical schools. He is currently training in preparation for fights with the Angels.
Rank/Job: Head Searcher
Power(s): (Primary)Shapeshifting - Ice Gryphon, (Primary) Elemental - Ice, (Secondary) Eyes (No pun intended).
Power Defects (only if you have Primary powers, at least one for each):
Shapeshifting - Icefyre often has difficulty shifting to and from this power. He will sometimes become trapped as an Ice Gryphon (which is not useful for maneuvering through the Keep's narrow hallways) or he will be unable to use his ability in the heat of battle. after changing, Icefyre must wait at least an hour before changing back, regardless of the form. These issues are magnified whenever Icefyre is ill, injured, or hot.
Elemental - Icefyre is constantly surrounded by a cold air scattered with ice and frost. His elemental ability has a strict range limit of twelve feet around his body, in either shape. This power is in constant effect, and though he can reduce the range (regularly six feet around his body) if he concentrates, it is far easier to stand away from anyone who shivers. Icefyre can drop the temperature and condense some of the frost into small balls of hail as attacks, but his elemental ability is fairly useless otherwise. In hot weather, his power becomes useless and quite pathetic.
Favored Weapon (optional): Powers
Disabilities/Flaws: Icefyre tends to get injured often, and as a result of one such incident, he walks with a slight limp in his left leg. He can still run, especially as a Gryphon, but this limp tends to irritate him when he stands still for long. He also cannot tolerate temperatures above forty-five degrees Fahrenheit.
Pet(s) (optional; limit of two; must be either non-magical or Magistream creatures): Tropical Leviathan (Mackerel)
Other: Icefyre loved frozen, raw fish. He is also one of Mam's favorite Searchers, which is rarely a good thing, as she loves to throw piles of odd work and jobs his way.

It can be transformed in two blades. The blades are from a special type of metal that makes a special kind of vibration when they hit each other or other type of metal. The vibration doesn't affects only the ear, it also affects the body. The problem it's that it also affects Wisp.
Small golden balls that contain explosives and acid. The purposes of the balls are numerous and someone can use the acid while still keeping the bomb. If both acid and explosive settings are activated, the ball will release a black colored air from it that will cover everything in a radius of 5 meters.
A handgun with explosive bullets. When bullets make contact with an object a dust is released. The dust is very toxic and corrosive.
Another handgun that shots bullets. The bullets can detect heat from a target and follow it. The bullet when it hits the target, it also liberates a retro-virus that makes the target wild for 5 hours. It also sends the location of the target through satellite detection.

Age: 19
Gender: Male
Crush/Significant Other (optional): Nadine (if she joins)
Appearance: Neko is around 5'11" and gangly. He trains with his weapons, but doesn't often work out otherwise, unless he is on a mission. His hair is fairly short, dark black and untidy. His skin is pale and freckles easily -- Neko doesn't get out in the sun nearly often enough. Among the Angels, however, this is not the trait that sets him apart. Neko is not a magi, but he has a pair of black wings sprouting from his back due to a curse several years ago. These wings get in the way and are usually useless. He cannot use them to fly, and he has poor control over the muscles. He can fold the wings up or let them hang loose, but that is about it. Neko usually wears a hooded jacket to cover his wings.
Personality: Neko is skittish and very reserved, a shy personality full of hate. It takes him a great deal of time to trust a person, and even then, he would quickly turn against them if that gave him an edge in battle. He thinks through situations very carefully, but does not always make the right choices. Neko is stubborn in his views, and though his attitude towards the magi has slowly changed, it is still incomplete. His hatred toward the Angels is founded, but weak, and he would much rather return to them if he could, despite the kindness the magi offered him (at least, up until they found out what he was).
History: Neko's history is quite ugly, even for an Angel. His parents were close friends of Mitch and members of his church for years before he founded the Angels. They raised their son to be everything they wanted in an Angel soldier, and Neko was never reluctant to oblige. He trained daily with his father, who had a short background in swordsmanship and medieval-style forging. Eventually, Neko was accepted as a young recruit among the Angels, and permitted to accompany his parents on certain missions.
The incident happened while on one of those missions. Neko's parents and a few other Angels had tracked down a renegade group of Magi hiding in the forest. They captured the less experienced half of the group and tied them up in the hopes of questioning them back at the Angel Headquarters. Neko was in charge of watching this group while the adults sought out the rest of the magi. While checking the bindings, one of the teenage magi escaped and led Neko away from her friends. The magi had the upper hand after knocking Neko's weapons away, but instead of killing or knocking him out, she decided to toy with him instead. She placed a curse spell upon Neko, forcing birdlike wings to attach themselves to his back, causing pain and discomfort. She had a sense of irony, and so ensured with magic that the curse would remain present for a lifetime. Needless to say, the mission failed.
In the next two years, Neko's mother gave birth to twin sisters and Neko's father vanished while on a mission. Neko was disallowed to join the Angels from the moment he was cursed until Mitch decided to bring him in as a spy. Neko made his way to the Keep, posing as a young magi, and he eventually discovered the Searchers' records of the Angels. During his time at the Keep, the magi were kind to him, and tried quite hard to befriend him. Nadine, the young female magi he had found in order to get to the Keep, was kind to him even after his identity as an Angel was discovered. The Searchers, however, were less than pleased to have an Angel spy in their midst. Neko is now locked up and being questioned by Searchers. It seems that they don't yet know what to do with him.
Rank/Job: "Special" Angel - something of an ex-Angel now.
Unique Skill (cannot be magical): Swordsmanship.
Favored Weapon(s) (limit of three): Longsword, small gun with silencer, small knife.
Weapon Attack Numbers (one for each): Sword - 4, gun - 3, knife - 5
Disabilities/Flaws: Neko's cold and bitter personality tend to impact his decisions negatively, but the physical issue with his wings is more prominent. His wings make it difficult to walk down a street, fight, use his sword, and even sleep. Aside from this, he has few defenses without his weapons.
Pet(s) (optional; limit of two; must be real creatures): Crow (Hrafen)
Other: He is currently holed up in one of the cells in the retention area.
He also hates riding in cars or other vehicles.
