Sakamoto High School

[Tachi]

Name: Gwen Hart
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Appearance: "BEHOLD! THE BLADE OF LIGHT!"
Personality: Gwen is extremely passionate about her work, to the extent that it's not uncommon for her to show up to a lesson wearing a stylised version of something from the time period she's meant to be talking about. She tends to be rather hammy, regardless of whether or not she's in class. She is also a fan of anime and manga, mostly slice of life series and those with historical influences.
Backstory: Gwen was born in Australia to parents of European descent. She had a fairly normal life until one day, while cleaning out some junk in the family's shed, she discovered the Claiomh Solais. When her parents found out she could wield the sword, she was signed up to attend Sakamoto High School. After graduating, she went on to study to become a history teacher and several years later, returned to the school, fully qualified to teach and keen to help other artifact wielders.
Power: Gwen's power is the ability to wield the Claiomh Solais, a legendary Irish weapon, also known as the Sword of Light or the Shining Sword. In addition to being an extremely sharp sword, it possesses several abilities. As the name suggests, these powers are all related to light. When it is drawn and when it strikes another object, it unleashes a bright light that can temporarily blind anyone looking directly at the blade. It can also unleash focused blasts of light. Finally, it is capable of bending light to render itself, its wielder and/or its sheathe invisible.
Skills: Gwen is an expert swordswoman, extremely knowledgable about medieval and ancient history, fluent in both English and Japanese and a talented costume designer, having designed not only the ridiculous outfits she wears but also the majority of the drama faculty's costume stock.

Hate the new posting screen... >.<

I mean...um...edited.

The Sakamoto High School is a fairly enigmatic existence. Situated on an island situated just off the coast of mainland Japan(though close enough that the bridges connecting the island and the mainland can be walked across in about ten minutes). Only specific students are selected. Even people who test high enough to be allowed in would be barred entry.

This is because the Sakamoto High School is far more then it appears to be.

For it is a school for those with abilities beyond that of humans. The Sakamoto High School is a school for people who could be called 'magic'. Every student in the school possesses some form of ability. Perhaps it is the ability to wield a powerful ancient artifact, or to channel electricity, or even to make sound effects a reality. The Sakamoto High School is place for these students to practice their abilities, and also to learn the same subjects as anyone else.

Of course, a high school with so many powerful students in it is bound to attract attention...

Characters can't be too powerful. It's a bit hard to judge this in levels, so I'll judge it on a case-by-case basis. A good idea of what I won't accept is something that could take out, say, a whole city all at once.
No mind control or anything like that. Seriously, it's bad RP etiquette.
Characters in this are students, unless I accept a teacher. Try to keep that in mind.

Backstory:
Power: (Take one. Powers can be broad, but they must still only be a single power. Powers can also encompass artifacts. For example, if your character wields an ancient mythological weapon, that would be a power.)

Accepted.

Name: Chikamatsu Etsuko
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearance: "This blade has killed gods. And you, certainly, are not a god."

Personality: Etsuko is serious, calm, and collected. She takes her training, and her studies, very seriously. She is proud of her skill with a katana and her excellent grades in her studies. Etsuko has a no-nonsense kind of personality and displays the utmost confidence in her abilities. However, in spite of this serious personality, she wears soft print pyjamas and keeps a cataloged collection of plushies. In addition, it's not too difficult to fluster her.
Backstory: Etsuko was born to a family that had recovered and stored Futsu no Mitama no Tsurugi. When it was revealed she was able to wield the blade, Etsuko was signed on to be sent to the Sakamoto High School as soon as she was old enough. As she was growing up, she was trained in kendo, and at actually wielding the godslaying sword.
Power: Etsuko's power is the ability to wield the Futsu no Mitama no Tsurugi, a godslaying blade of immense power. While, as a human, she cannot access the full level of power to kill a god, she can fire off an immense blast of magical energy. The katana is also extremely sharp, and capable of cutting through barriers.
Skills: Etsuko is a skilled swordswoman, as well as very fast and agile.

Name	Sakamoto-no-Kami
Age	~ As old as the school.
Gender	Female
Appearance	"You should be in class."
Personality	Sakamoto looks like a perfectly demure young lady. She happens to be a not-so-young pervert goddess with a short attention span. Her favourite pastime? Cataloguing all the interesting goings-on in the school and writing the less harmful (or most, if you do something stupid) in a cheap newspaper. She has a habit of showing up to classes with a spare seat and rearranging people so she can get a spot at the back. The staff don't complain, as she's quiet and does any tests handed out, but they do get a bit annoyed when she starts dissembling electronics at her desk. Or when she forgets to turn the sound down. Though she rarely starts any conversations, Sakamoto is surprisingly bubbly and energetic once you actually start talking to her... which people rarely seem keen to do, because who really wants to attract the attention of the creepy, somewhat vengeful kimono girl? Besides, she's always playing with her phone in one way or another, so why would you want to... Basically: don't intentionally annoy her if you don't want the whole school to know all your dirty little secrets.
Backstory	Randomly coming into existence some point after the school started admitting students, it seems that Sakamoto's entire life is a result of the amount of power in this place. Probably. It's not entirely clear what function she's meant to perform, as nobody worships her, but she basically provides a measure of security for the school for free and makes their test results look better, so why complain? Even if she does get free lodging and food.
Power	The ability to spy on anyone in the school; Divine CCTV. Basically, Sakamoto has a dim awareness of what's going on in any particular area at any time--are people in trouble, 'excited', etc.--and can focus on anything especially interesting as if she was stood right there. She uses this power judiciously, both on behalf of the staff and as free entertainment.
Skills	100% score on tests due to already having done them before, and an incredibly steady hand. As a result of this ludicrous steadiness and having gained degree-level qualifications without leaving the school, she sometimes takes apart and upgrades her phone at the back of a classroom. No-one's keen to ask her how she can do this.

Name	Mizuki Ichiko
Age	17
Gender	Female
Appearance	Physical and casual wear, school "uniform"
Personality	Ichiko gives the impression that she's an aloof, cool figure; someone to admire and respect from a distance. The smoking and drinking--she really can't resist any vice that happens to come her way--only makes this more likely. Perhaps the 'admire and respect' bit is the reason that few, if any, come forwards to actually get to know her and have their impressions ruined. Ichiko... is a complete and utter ditz. Knowledge? Nada. Common sense? Nada. She's quiet and barely emotes, yet still manages to be friendly, at least... though she's very easily confused. Ichiko is almost painfully naive about sexual and romantic matters; having absolutely no idea what they, in fact, are. To say that she was confused by the uproar when she gave all the people she liked chocolates on Valentine's Day is an understatement. It's a day for giving chocolates to your loved ones, right?
Backstory	Ichiko's parents were rarely around when she was young, since they both worked long shifts. As a result, they encouraged her to get involved in time-consuming extracurricular activities. Ichiko chose running and, for a while, worked on quite cheerfully getting up to the level of the others around her, and then on getting better than them. Everything was perfectly normal, she was just gifted... and then she did the four minute mile. At age eight. Naturally, as she continued to get better, her parents forbade her from taking part in any school-based activities and sent her to Sakamoto the minute they were able to. After arriving, and an assessment of her abilities, she was disappointed to learn that she would probably be disqualified from any international competitions for cheating (whether that's the truth or just a way to stop people from being confused...), and somehow continued to get her hands on things that shouldn't have been in the school.
Power	The power to continuously improve her body. Simply put, she always gets better and never worse--it's why she can indulge herself as much as she likes without health problems. Though it's much slower now than when she was a child, there appears to be no upper limit on how good her raw capabilities can one day become if she keeps working at it. Fully capable of casually roof-hopping, and often does so despite being banned. She hasn't tried running up walls since a disastrous attempt lead to her running through a flimsy one a year or so back.
Skills	None. Nada. Nothing. Ichiko... is not a skilled person at all. When she's not exercising or eating, she watches anime and TV shows, and generally forgets to do schoolwork. She's no good at skill based sports due to not taking the time to learn the skills, too. Even her handwriting is atrocious--though at least one teacher has started to suspect that she can't actually read or write kanji at all and just scribbles things, because her writing is otherwise bad but readable.

Both accepted.

[dblade26]

Name: Sarutobi Isamu

Age: 16

Gender:Male

Appearance: probably dresses differently when he's not training. XD

Personality: Isamu basically relates to most situations via martial arts. It's not that he's a particularly violent or angry person so much as that the majority of his existence before coming to Sakamoto was martial-arts based. Thus, he has to see most situations as some variation on a battle, whether its cooking, socializing or attempting to understand math problems. Other than this little quirk though he's a fairly honest and nice person who wants to learn how to have friends and live normally.

Backstory: Isamu's family trained him for most of his life with the hope that the Ruyi-Jingu-Bang would choose him, a process that mainly consisted of teaching him as much about martial arts as they could cram into his brain and body. Since the staff actually did choose him and his parents' basic life goal for him had been met they decided to enroll him at Sakamoto High School in order to help him hone his skill with both the staff and with ordinary living situations.

Power: Isamu Wields the Ruyi-Jingu-Bang, Sun Wukong's legendary staff. The staff can change size and weight, going from as small as a pin to the size of a gigantic column at the will of its owner. The staff can also multiply and is pretty much indestructible. Also has a bit of a mind of its own, though it can't speak and is usually more than willing to do whatever Isamu wants.

Skills: Isamu is a highly competent martial artist, having been trained by his family from an extremely young age with the hope that he might prove worthy of being chosen by the staff. He is also extremely agile, though within human limits. Academics-wise he's about average, not having much sense in things that don't have to do with fighting but working hard to try and make up for it. He also seems to have a knack for dealing with animals, though not in every case.

Accepted.

[Roxas]

Name: Sayuri Horatia

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Appearance: "Time to be a kid forever~!"

Personality:
Cheerful. Loud. Likes to use her looks to con people into giving her discounts/free sweets/preferential treatment, and hates being ignored. Or being saddled with responsibility. Or hard work. Sayuri also has an absolute hatred for math, and may or may not be planning to somehow abolish it.

Backstory: Born in Japan, though she is of foreign descent. She lived a pampered life, to the point that all the cuddling made her believe she would lose all the attention upon becoming an adult. By complete coincidence, her power just so happened to coincide with her constant wishes of never growing up.

Power: Aging - She is capable of increasing or decreasing the rate of her physical growth. By five seconds max. Well, she can use the ability repeatedly, at least.

Skills:
-Can act the age she looks rather well
-Aside from math, is an otherwise average student, grade-wise

[VitaVitaAR]

[VitaVitaAR]

Name: Inaba Kotone
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Appearance: "We're going to see what happens to a replica of a human rib-cage when you hit it with an explosive force roughly the comparative to three blocks of C4 today, students. For Science!"
Personality: Kotone is... well, to call her a "troll" would not be inaccurate. The science teacher seems to greatly enjoy teasing her students, sometimes by telling them she'll experiment on them and other times simply by behaving in completely unexpected ways. She also threatens to "steal" cute things, including students. This is mostly teasing. Mostly. Kotone doesn't take herself very seriously, even though she's as careful as she needs to be in regards to safety. Kotone also enjoys explosions, possibly far too much for her own good.
Backstory: Born into a very science-focused family and raised as such, the development of her abilities was rather surprising to everyone in her family. However, they decided to send her to Sakamoto, where she learned about her abilities and the more normal things one learns about in a school. Eventually, she came back after being hired as a science teacher.
Power: Kotone is a technopath, allowing her to analyze and control machinery with expert skill. This can range from making a computer respond to her orders without touching it or even opening her mouth, or remotely controlling explosives with her mind. She has a maximum range of five meters.
Skills: Kotone is a skilled scientist, capable with various sciences. She is also very skilled with technology, able to construct devices quite easily.

[Vinestar]

Name: Pekomi Izayoi

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Appearance: "Flowers, flock to me!"

Personality: Pekomi is basically summed up as super energetic and out-going young individual who is direct and outspoken. She also doesn't hold anything in and openly flirts with cute girls in hopes of achieving her dream; "Pekomi's Flower Garden". Pekomi is also a bit stubborn and will keep going at things in order to get her way.

Backstory: Pekomi grew up without a mother figure and was raised by a doting (if somewhat martial) father. As a result, Pekomi grew up to be a tomboy. After her powers were discovered, Pekomi was ecstatic to enter Sakamoto because now she would be able to hopefully instigate relationships with the other students without her father scaring the bejeepers out of them.

Power: Pekomi has the ability to produce "potent medicine" within her body whose range of effects can range from rapidly speeding up recovery time or reaction times, as well as produce calming effects on the body to dissipate fear. She can share the effects of "potent medicine" with other people through special means.

Skills: Pekomi is very skilled in the Izayoi School of Aikido, which highlights and makes use of her small size. Pekomi is also a very accomplished chef (which she spent years polishing because she couldn't handle eating takeout and cup noodles and also because she wants to wow potential candidates.) The girl is also unexpectedly well read and an avid history buff. She can play video games and use chopsticks with her toes.

Name: Akachi Hanamura

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Appearance: Follow the path of blades...

Personality: Akachi is a laid back person with hard time to focus on class sometimes playing around with his pens erasers and paper pieces.After class he's usually reading his textbook, thanks to that he manages in class with average numbers. Suprisingly he can focus on two things unless both involves sound. He usually pulls manzai play with his friends, he acting as Tsukkomi, correcting the Boke. He can be calm and collective but is mostly cheerful laidback. His scar in his face wounds him deeply emotionaly losing his complete faith in his own appearance little by little.

Backstory: When Akachi was 13 he received a box from his grandfather who was an archelogist. the box was locked tight and after a quick look he found words carved in box. When he spoke them box flipped with open and with flash he was surrounded by floating swords witch followed his hand movements. When he scaratched his nose he accidently slashed himself with sword in the part which was itching. He dubbed his ability to control blades like this as "path of swords" and trained to use this power. He was enrolled into Sakamoto high where several other teens with similar powers were studying.

Power: Path of Blades allows him to summon swords from void which response to his hand movements and mind. Maximum amount he can summon is six, three when hungry. The blades levitate around him ready to response to his commands. The control of blade is telekinetic like ,but it's not.

Skills: Akachi likes to draw a lot and has developed a talent for it but always belittles his drawing. also he can only cook very simple dishes.

Um... I hope this is okay. I wasn't sure if the powerset would be allowed, but, uh... Hope it works. >.<

• Name: Ishikawajima Kyouko
• Age: 16
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: She's a big girl.
• Personality: Shy and reserved, and rather quiet. This hasn't been helped by her powers screwing up and leaving her at a rather noticable size, leading her to be somewhat withdrawn. She usually tries to avoid people, and thus spends a lot of her time alone in her room (which of course had to be custom built to accomodate here). Those who get to know her will realise one thing that stands out about her aside from her shyness (and, of course, her size): she is very nerdy; she spends most of her time watching anime (she'd read manga, but the volumes are far too small for her to properly read).
• Backstory: Kyouko comes from a family who are somewhat reknowned for possessing a strange magic that allows them to alter the size of things, primarily themselves (and, for Kyouko, this is the only part of their magic that she will ever be able to utilise due to their magic blood becoming watered down). Aside from this, she was... Generally a very normal, if somewhat reserved girl with a normal life. It wasn't until her powers started to manifest in her teenage years that things started to go wrong. Her first attempt at size changing somehow led to her being stuck at giant size, unable to shrink down to the size of a regular human. Since then, she's been even more reserved than she used to be, and tries her best to hide herself away from others out of shame.
• Power: Possesses the magical ability to change her size at will, allowing her to be anything from a giant to ant-sized. However, for whatever reason her ability isn't working properly, and thus she is modelocked into being a giant for the time being. Her strength has been increased proportionately for her size, but at regular human size she never was all that strong to begin with.
• Skills: Kyouko is... Not particularly skilled at anything, really. She's clumsy, her grades are average at best and she sees herself as rather plain looking (aside from the obvious). The one thing she ever really excelled at was cooking, which has become somewhat more difficult to do ever since she became locked into giant size.

[Rain]

Name: Takahashi Yasu
Age: 18
Gender: Female Male
Appearance: "So hot..."
Personality: Friendly, helpful, bi... also pathologically opposed to wearing men's clothes. Enjoys cooking for other people and intellectual challenges, even if he's only average in class. Epically fails at physical activity, he's very much a passive participant of such things.
Backstory: Yasu... was born right after his sister died. It was unfortunate, truly, especially because his mother couldn't be bothered to buy new clothes. So, for years of his life, he was dressed as a girl. And, for some reason, the poor woman decided to buy more. So, up until middle school, he wasn't really aware that he wasn't a girl, until such things came up in a biology lesson. Even after that, and his cooking accidentally caused a riot, he has staunchly refused to wear male clothing. It just feels... weird, to him. So, as far as most of the school knows, Yasu is a girl.
Power: AMAZING COOKING. So amazing that it can induce all sorts of feelings, buff power levels, and heal. Effects limited only be ingredients, preparation time, and his own familiarity with the recipe. Can even make things given just a name, hilariously, even if he doesn't get what they are. Can make dirt taste good.
Skills: Good in bed. Excellent with video games, decent with editing films, good hand-eye co-ordination. Likes archery out of all physical activities.
