Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Aaron (phonetic: air•in)

Bloodline: Human Wizard / Great White Dragon

Age: 12
Gender: male
Height: 5'2"
Body Type: stringbean/scrawny
Ethnicity: Asian-Indian
Eyes: inky-iridescent with dragon-pupils
Skin: soft, light cocoa brown
Hair: dark, thick, and shaggy - typically kept ear to shoulder-length
Distinguishing Marks: no body piercings, tattoos, or birthmarks

Personality: inquisitive, intelligent & courageous
Occupation: student, 1st year
Interests: experimental magic, alchemy/chemistry, & flight
Skills: Aaron is a gifted student of the magical arts, and a quick study - while many of his fellow classmates must spend hours memorizing magical words and incantations, Aaron can rely on the innate magic in his blood to perform magic through will alone. His dragon eyes also help him to see the invisible ways that magic exists in the world, which helps him create his own unique spells.
Special Abilities: Aaron inherited the ability to fly with white-feathered dragon wings (as well as some other dragonoid features) from his mother, but because of his father, Aaron can appear completely human. He can retract his wings (and most other features) completely into his body and extend them instantaneously for use. Retracting the wings takes a moment of concentration, but exposing them takes only a thought.

During a full moon (and other times when atmospheric magic is more potent) Aaron becomes incapable of concealing his true-self. When the moon is full, Aaron cannot retract his wings or his other dragonoid features, and they all become exposed at once. He grows fangs, pointed ears, white feathers in his hair and down his back, sharp claws on his hands and feet, and a white plumed dragon tail - but he does not transform into a full-dragon.

The only dragonoid feature Aaron cannot ever change are his eyes. Their darkness helps avoid the curious stare of average humans, but if anyone were to take a more intent look at them, they'd see that they're definitely not of the human world.
Other Details: Both of Aaron's parents work at the University. His father is a renowned wizard, and his mother teaches astrology and skrying.




Name: Eiichiro "Eii" Okado (phonetic: ae•chi•ro oh•KA•doh)

Bloodline: Demon / Naiad

Age: 16
Gender: male, cross-dresser
Height: 5'6"
Body Type: slender & feminine
Ethnicity: Japanese, heart-shaped face, no facial hair
Eyes: golden
Skin: pale & milky
Hair: pale sky-blue with white/silver streaks, well-groomed - may appear long or short
Distinguishing Marks: a magical tattoo in the middle of his forehead that enhances his water-controlling powers

Personality: selfish, and manipulative; he slyly bends others to his will - Eii-kun is not violent by nature, he'd rather flee than fight.
Occupation: student, 5th year
Interests: eating, sleeping, sweet foods & manly-men
Skills: Eiichiro is very quick on his feet, and can dodge almost anything (unless of course he's distracted, or wants to get caught). Eiichiro can also play the flute, and has a lovely singing-voice.
Special Abilities: Eiichiro has very acute, sensitive hearing (those ears aren't just for show). Eii-kun can also control and manipulate water, or anything with water in it. He can create "blades" of water with a sharp-edge as small as a molecule. He can transform his body into water, alter his body's shape, and hide in plain sight (as a puddle of water). Any wound inflicted upon Eiichiro can be healed instantly by changing into his liquid-form. The only thing that can truly damage Eiichiro is a jolt of electricity (anything more intense than a simple static-shock). After a shock, Eii-kun reverts to his "solid" form, and is unable to transform again for anywhere between a few minutes to a few hours, depending on the jolt's intensity.
Other Details: Eiichiro has long & wide pointed ears, and sharp non-retractable claws on his hands and feet - both traits inherited from his father. His water controlling abilities were passed down from his mother. He always wears an earring at the tip of his left ear with a ribbon hanging from it and a silver-clamp/ring at its end.

Skills: Sho is not a very good student and is often bored in class. He much prefers athletic events (especially swordplay) which is where he excels.

Hair: shaggy black with strands of silver
Distinguishing Marks: disfiguring and extremely painful mutation in left arm - he tries to keep it concealed with gauze and medical tape

Personality: snarky, moody, & self-loathing
Occupation: student, 5th year
Interests: music, especially rock-metal - because it overpowers and drowns out everything else
Skills: His newly acquired vision causes him dyslexia, but he has no positive skills of note; he considers himself average and unremarkable
Special Abilities: He has infrared vision in his left eye, and ultraviolet vision in his right. He can’t turn it off. Jeremy also has ultra sensitive hearing. He wears dark sunglasses at all times to hide his eyes, and wears earplugs most of the time to dampen some of the pain of being able to hear everything. He can see better at night, or in dark places; bright lights disorient him.
Other Details: Recently a new mutation has begun to develop in Jeremy’s left arm after he had contact with a mysterious alien substance. The metamorphosis is proving extremely painful, with agonizing bleeding sores and inflamed joints and muscles. It seems that the arm is developing a mind of its own and sometimes acts against Jeremy's will.

He has a unique talent for manipulating the gravitational field around objects, causing them to float or become extraordinarily heavy. Nick's psychic abilities do not extend to "empathy" or "precognition" and therefore cannot sense energies, communicate with ghosts, or see the future.

Other Details: Jasper was cursed by a witch for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but he doesn't mind. In fact, there's not much left of his mind - his head's mostly full of straw.

A wound caused by any other means heals almost instantly. He heals faster when drinking blood.
Other Details: Cynric can easily pass as human, until he "vamps-out" by baring his fangs,and revealing his unnaturally bright eyes. He is not put off by garlic, running water, or crucifixes, and a stake in the heart will only paralyze him, but Cynric cannot enter someone's home unless he is invited (but only because he's polite).

Bloodline: Human Time-Traveler & Magician

Age: 34

He draws his magic powers from years of hard work and dedicated practice, as well as his magically enchanted top-hat, cape, and crystal-ball handled cane. His magical repertoire includes (but is not limited to) illusion, alteration, hypnotism, transfiguration, conjuration and time manipulation. His cane is the facilitator for all his magic acts, and is necessary for him to do any of it. His hat and cape are gateways to a kind of "pocket universe" where Ringwood can conceal all of his belongings, and call upon them whenever he needs.

In addition, Adrian is telepathic (he can read minds, and communicate by thought alone). He can also astral-project his spirit out of his body. He is invulnerable to everything but fire, and direct sunlight, and he is allergic to silver. A wound caused by any other means heals almost instantly. He heals faster when drinking blood.
Other Details: Adrian can easily pass as human, until he "vamps-out" by baring his fangs,and revealing his unnaturally bright eyes.
Like Cynric, Adrian is not put off by garlic, running water, or crucifixes, and a stake in the heart will only paralyze him. He prefers to sleep in his coffin, though he is not required to sleep there exclusively.




Name: Pienter "Pen" Gekkemen (phonetic: pee•EN•ter GECK•min)

Bloodline: Vampire, sired by an unknown Elder

Age: 42 - appears late twenties
Gender: male, pansexual
Height: 6'2"
Body Type: athletic, toned & muscular
Ethnicity: Caucasian (American)
Eyes: brown-hazel
Skin: sickly-pale - becomes more rosey after feeding
Hair: dark brown ringlet curls, reaches to upper-back, Pen sometimes shaves his head or lops off large chunks of hair just for the hell of it (it all grows back when he sleeps)
Distinguishing Marks: covered in knife-fight and self-inflicted burns/cut scars and a "DNA-chain" tattoo on the right side of his torso. Pen also has a bar-code tattoo on the right side of his neck, behind the ear, and just below the skull (that tat is hardly ever visible). Right n****e is pierced, and both ears pierced several times - he tries to pierce his lip and eyebrows once in a while, but he didn't get them done before his embrace, so they just heal away as soon as the studs are removed.

Personality: obsessive, manipulative, & sadistic OR fidgety, shifty, & masochistic OR withdrawn, suspicious, & autistic
Occupation: Grounds Keeper
Interests: comic books, movies, knives & the internet
Skills: He's a wizard with switchblades, is ambidextrous, and speaks German
Special Abilities: Pen suffers from a multiple personality disorder, with 3 distinctions (primary = megalomaniac; secondary = hysteric; tertiary = paranoid schizophrenic). As a vampire, Pen has super-human strength, and speed. He can sense the auras of those around him, and has superior senses of sight, smell, hearing, touch, and taste. Pen can avoid being seen by slipping into shadow (even in plain sight) and he can also toy with people's minds - pulling out certain dormant insanities. He is invulnerable to everything but fire, and direct sunlight, and he is allergic to silver. A wound caused by any other means heals almost instantly. He heals faster when drinking blood.
Other Details: Pen is claustrophobic - his second personality takes over whenever he's presented with his phobia and remains in control for a few minutes or up to a few hours after he escapes the situation. Pen cannot ride elevators, or travel in a car without the window down, and coffins are absolutely out of the question. Whenever Pen sleeps he has terrible nightmares. Upon awakening, if he cannot realize he is awake, his third personality takes over and remains in control until he goes back to sleep.
He can easily pass as human, until he "vamps-out" by baring his fangs, and revealing his unnaturally bright eyes. Pen is not put off by running water, or crucifixes, and a stake in the heart will only paralyze him. He can’t stand the smell of garlic.
