may I also reserve a sixth year student from the Easton family? - PACK NAME Raven Wing FULL NAME Alyx Dawson NICKNAME(S) N/A AGE 15 years GENDER & PRONOUNS Male / Masculine He / They SEXUALITY Aroace GRADE YEAR Third MAGICAL POWER Alyx has a passive power that is both a curse and a blessing. He can read someone's mind, however overwhelming it can get sometimes. Can he choose whose mind he reads? No, ne he can't. Alyx can't even control when. It just... happens whenever he gets within a certain proximity. His power isn't confined to only 1 person either! Things can get very overwhelming if he isn't careful which areas he hangs around in or the people he hangs out with. As of yet, another person has no way to block their thoughts from him either. As his power is passive, Alyx does not have a way to simply "shut off" the voices. Worst case scenario you'll find him curled in a ball somewhere with his hands over his ears APPEARANCE (c) edhelsen on Picrew Alyx is nothing really special to see, but he also isn't the ugliest person to walk the earth or lay your eyes upon. In fact, he could easily snuggle within the threshold of being average, and he's rather content with the fact seeing as he doesn't really care for looks or beauty. If you walked up to his face and called him ugly, or even complimented the way he dressed or looked he would probably just give you a blank stare or mumble a small thank you before walking away. Being 5'8" in height, Alyx stands within the target height for someone his age. Barely. But hey, a number is a number no matter how you wanna look at it. His skin is on the paler side of the spectrum, though isn't ghostly so or paper white and retains a healthy golden glow to it thanks to his time outside whenever he gets bored or needs to take a moment for himself. His face is dotted with small brown freckles around the bridge of his nose, just barely enroaching towards underneath his eyes and scatter like the stars during a cloudness night. They cluster, but aren't overly concentrated to one area and are rather small. You'd be able to notice them if you had a conversation with him, but from a distance it would take actively looking. His eyes appear golden at first appearance to many, but in reality they are simply just a light brown. It gets harder to tell if he were to stand directly under the sunlight or in the light of the moon, but in shade or cloudy weather it gets a little more obvious. Now in terms of hair, the first thing someone would probably notice is the red streak on the left side of the ruffled bangs that sweep across his forehead. The streak is a somewhat vibrant red in color, but retains some richness to the tone so it isn't obnoxious or blaring. The rest of his hair is colored the same blonde color, and is never left to grow longer than below his nape or chin. In terms of build, Alyx falls under the umbrella of lithe, and maybe a little gangly. He is not someone who is strong-armed, rather even the most timid of children probably wouldn't find this individual frightening were they to see him down a road. Imagine the skinny kid in highschool. That's Alyx. Don't let his appearance entirely fool you, however, else the person will find themselves on their ass with no clue how or what happened in the first place. He can pull quite the biting punch when the time calls for it, and his stature allows Alyx to be light and quick on his feet. His posture is not something to scoff at either. Alyx always holds himself upright and tall, with little slouch or dragging his feet to be seen. While this could come across as something close to arrogance or pride, in reality he feels lazy and a little tired if he were to slouch. In terms of expression, you won't get much out of him either. From his unimpressed blank looks towards someones antics, to the raise of an eyebrow when someone asks something or manages to catch his interest, a smile is unusual but not unheard of. As for his dress, he keeps things simple. If it's comfortable, doesn't take too long to put together, and doesn't make him look homeless then he's good to go for the most part. Tight fitting clothing is simply not his style, and heaven forbids anything flashy or flamboyant, in color or appearance. Solid colored clothes work just fine for him thank you, and let's not forget his black hat. His uniform colors would most likely be some shade of [off] white or red. Alyx tends to stick towards the short sleeved dress shirt with a sweater over it, or just simply a sweater. He doesn't really care much in terms of pants, though defers towards solid colors. For fancy dress the most you'll get is a dress shirt with a vest and MAYBE a tie if you're lucky. Occasionally he can be seen with a rose or two tucked in his hair, but this is far and few between. PERSONALITY Alyx is certainly an... interesting character to be around. If you're looking for a conversation, then look no further to anyone except this guy! Yep, you heard it here. He's rather awkward and soft-spoken in nature, so it's hard to start any small talk without some elbow grease and a little bit of desperation mixed in. Conversations tend to get nowhere fast, and end with both him and whoever tried their best in the first place feeling more out of place than before they even started talking. Eloquency was just simply not a gift Alyx was blessed with. Rather, cutting in small conversations with his own input or quips works better for him. doubling back to the soft-spoken aspect of Alyx, it's not that he doesn't want to talk, it's more so he never knows quite what to say and most words come out as a mumble. Certain situations can get him to find his voice, but for the most part patience and being a good listener is the best way his message gets across. He would be more than happy for someone else to do the talking though. From rambling or ranting about random topics, to random stories and anecdotes Alyx will always be happy to just let you do the talking if you want someone to just... listen for a couple of moments. Alyx is a rather dedicated and resilient person, though hard to get very close to. When he makes a promise to anyone, he will do all that's in his power to make sure it's kept. If you give him a task, he will make sure it's completed as well as he can manage it, or it's eventually completed no matter the difficulty. Slacker is simply not a word in the books for Alyx. He will spend hours if you let him honing skills and learning new things, making sure to master what he can and practice the basics. Resilience is another thing you'll find comes with it's benefits and flaws. From challenging weather to strong enemies, he's not one to back down from the challenge if Alyx knows that it pushes his limits to a reasonable extent. This also means, however, he can be quite stubborn and unyielding in giving up certain tasks he knows he can complete, even at wits end. Not a pride thing so much as just plain stubborness on his part. If you can knock some sense into him, however, Alyx can admit when he's wrong and back down. Especially if it's hurting or going to hurt someone else. A factor that probably contributes to his awkward and a little standoffish nature is how easily he can get tense. From harmless sounds made from a passing animal or the wind his brain might percieve as a threat, to someone accidentally pushing into his personal space Alyx is always ready at a moments notice to both defend himself and others. Overeactions have happened in the past, but slowly he has gotten better at relaxing more. That's not to say occasionally a noise or action won't set him off though. Attention to detail is something Alyx prides himself in. From identifying how someone acts or moves, to the texture and appearance of items or certain wording in conversations, he tends to pick up a lot of information by just simply observing what happens around him. Skepticism is probably a trait that contributes to how icy he can unintentionally be sometimes. It's hard for Alyx to take things at face value or what they are, and almost always hunts for a second meaning or intention behind what another does. After all, not everything is always black and white in the world. It's convoluted in deception and dishonesty, and he's not about to be crossed by someone, else face the stinging hurt of betrayal. While forming a friendship is hard, it's certainly not impossible. A person will just have to prove themselves to him to earn his respect and loyalty. Actions speak louder than words, however he considers a lot of things before deciding to truly open up. When he does, however, you'll find Alyx is as loyal as could be with the adventurous streak to feed his curiosity. Of course Alyx still has a strong sense of duty, but every once in a while he likes to divulge in an expedition or little escapade to find something or just wander. You never know what will happen after all, and the thrill of the unknown is something that both terrifies and excities him to no end. Alyx is also a kind individual, even if he doesn't express it outright. From checking in to make sure someone is okay when he notices they seem down, to completing small tasks for them if they feel under the weather and watching their back if uneasy, he's certainly not someone to overlook. What he can't seem to express in words and social conversation, Alyx can certainly convey through his actions. He cares for people deeply, if he just met you or otherwise, and will do what he can to protect you until the ends of the earth. LIKES - Cats and horses [ quiet and generally friendly, somewhat low energy and approachable looking ] - Small corners [ cozy! and generally room for only himself so no giant crowds. Thank god he's not claustraphobic ] - Keeping active [ he's a busybody, gotta feel like he's doing something ] - Watching rain fall [ calming ] - Puzzles! [ traditional puzzles, crossword, riddles, etc ] - Archery [ generally fun and calming ] - Violin music [ very pretty! He wants to learn at some point ] - Savory foods [ don't let him near the garlic powder ] - Old fantastical + scary myths [ generally just interesting ] - Small friend groups [ less lonely and definitely quieter than a bigger one or sitting in a public area hoping a giant hoard of people won't suddenly appear ] - Casual clothes [ generally more comfortable, however he doesn't mind the Donatus formal wear either ] - Physical affection [ better than getting a gift or compliment ] DISLIKES - Big crowds of mentally busy people [ for obvious reasons ] - The sensation of damp clothes [ yucky ] - Catching colds / getting fevers [ people worry ] - Dogs [ scary ;w; ] - Rock music [ can't think + too stimulating ] - Bright flashing lights [ hurts his eyes + he might have epilepsy but has never gotten it checked ] - Morally ambiguous people [ hard to figure out / unpredictable ] - Unproductive days [ feels like he's running but going nowhere ] - Loud noises [ sometimes overstimulating, makes him jump too since he's already slightly tense ] - Calligraphy [ how do people even begin to read that??? ] - Recieving gifts + compliments [ um... thank you but now what- ] - Ending conversations [ awkward ] BACKGROUND He has a pretty normal family life, what can he say? Alyx is an only child within a middle class family. His parents were very on edge when they learned he possesed magical powers [ no I can't fly mom- ], however they reluctantly accepted it and agreed to let him attend Donatus ASSOCIATIONS More than open!

Pack name or nickname: Zeraphia // Zera/Vah Full name: Lucius Hayden Zeller Age: 17 Gender & Pronouns: Male // He/Him Sexuality: Bisexual (leans more towards men) or demiromantic Grade year: Fourth Year Species: Some weird hybrid Fae and Harpy. (Bro has some issues lol) Magical power: Oh you thought Lucius would gain some fun power from his heritage? Haha, lol. No, the only thing remotely magical about Lucius is the bright creamy-white wings that he can't hide no matter how hard he tries. Appearance: Standing at a solid 6'0" even (Fae genes do come in handy sometimes), Lucius tends to have a much more broad looking torso. His shoulders are wide and set in place. Of course that helps when one quite literally has to have broad shoulders to accommodate two extra appendages and all of the tendons, nerves, muscles, bones and the likes. He does, however, have a shorter torso because of that. However, his long legs make up plenty for the lack of torso. Legs for days, man. Legs for days. That aside, Lucius sports soft blue eyes that remind him of the color of an aquamarine jewel with just a hint more blue to it than the usual stone would have. The soft blue color highlights, and compliments, the way his face is peppered with soft freckles. (As well as his neck, shoulders and back but who's looking?) Adding to the look, his hair is a warm golden blond color, the kind of color that really reminds one of the "amber waves of grain" that flow like the sea across most of the Midwest. However, his school clothing is really lacking in color. He finds that he prefers the soft greys, subtle tones and the saddle-back shoes to compliment the whole look. All in all, he really doesn't want to stand out. That's nye impossible of course with the large set of wings that he sports along his back. With creamy white feathers that collect his look in a sort of angelic-like manner, Lucius tends to stick out like a sore thumb. Which probably doesn't help at all considering his personality. Full Link Image Credits go to me (c)85543 Personality: If you expected Lucius to be some sort of gentle, calm, quiet individual, you're in for a wild awakening. Not really rude, per se, but definitely wild. The child of a Fae (and technically harpy but he's never really met his dad. His mother was... rather adamant that he didn't. But whatever, right?) the Fae mother had some wild opinions. Settling in to a mix of the hippie movement that swept across a large part of the world and some strange free-range parenting sort of vibe, Lucius didn't exactly have any strict guidance. His self-preservation is close to none. It's a miracle he's managed to survive this long without any major injuries. His bright flashing smile, cunning grins and easy-going personality tend to draw him to strange people, odd situations and the fact that he can simply pretend that you're a friend even if he's just barely gotten your name. He really doesn't see a problem with how he is, after all, that's how he's supposed to be! Elvis, The Beach Boys, the Beatles, everybody is loose, fun, carefree and having fun, right? The concept of 'no, Lucius, you're supposed to be more mindful and quiet' is long gone. But, that being said, he does have a fierce loyalty to any and all he calls friends. Which... is often where he gets in the most trouble. For whatever reason, his mother didn't approve of swearing. Rather than fight her on it, he's come to the ability to create odd comments, insults and the likes without swearing once. This ability likely wouldn't have happened if she wasn't so strict but hey, what's done is done, amiright? However, Lucius refuses to be the center of attention. He will, can and has, shoved it onto someone else. Always bringing others to the limelight, but hanging in the wings himself. (Lol get it?) He does get flustered and embarrassed rather easily, though. With a pale face, who can say no to that rose red blush that just creeps up over his cheeks, his nose and into his ears. Likes: - Summer storms: Despite a good solid thunderstorm meaning that he literally can not fly or go outside at all, Lucius loves the way they smell, the harsh wind, the sound of the rain. It's the thrill of the terror of Mother Nature for him. - Chocolate: Keep him away from chocolate at all costs. My dude will do anything--literally--for chocolate. Any chocolate at all. Just... don't. - Groups: While he may not be the center of attention, Lucius loves just sitting in a group and listening to others. The social butterfly in him loves to hear others talk, be a part of the fun, everything. Dislikes: - Needles/Doctors: For a young man with a knack of getting injured, this guy refuses outright to see a doctor at all if he doesn't have to. While he won't outright say it, it's rather obvious. - Chairs: Such a menial little thing, why chairs? Have you tried to sit in a chair with a pair of giant wings you can't hide? No? Give it a little thought and just maybe, you'll figure it out. Those desks with built in tables? Oh, the bane of his existence. - Sinatra: the king of music, why on earth? Lucius remembers days--weeks--of hearing the same song on repeat from the same cassette played by his mother. It is burned into his brain and if he hears it again, it'll be too soon. Background: With a young Fae mother who was definitely into the way-out lifestyle, the swinger type of ideals and the hippie life, it was little wonder than two things that probably should never have gotten together, did. Nobody cared to show yourself if nobody really knew what was going on. (Cough cough, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, the Beatles--but I digress). However, learning that she was to be a mother turned her away from the harder areas of life and settled down with a small community of others that sort of shared her same values. While Lucius doesn't entirely remember a lot about what she did for work, he does remember her taking late nights to finish sewing an outfit or two. Perhaps she was a seamstress or something. She never really told him. However, she was informed of the academy when he was around thirteen or so. It allowed him to go out and get some sort of proper education. It took a few years before Lucius was finally able to grasp what that actually meant and now, as a fourth year, and a little bit older for a fourth year (granted it took a lot of saving up to get him there) Lucius has figured out a few things about life. A) friends are the best thing you can have. But that was a value he learned from his mother. B) Be in control. Life moves fast and if you're just going with the flow or whatever, it doesn't end well. C) Somethings in life are not meant to be talked about. Also, people are mean. Rather cruel. So be cruel back--no, that's not it. Have kindness at first but eventually, have boundaries. Either way, Lucius seemed to be far more comfortable at the academy with others that seemed to be almost like him. Almost being keyword. He's fully aware that 90% of the students are NOT close to what he is either. They have abilities, they are just one species. Yet, he doesn't seem to mind that much. After all, somethings are just meant to be. Associations: Open! Feel free to DM me or tag me in the discussion thread! Clubs: - Cheer - Flight Fight - Racing Edited at May 24, 2024 03:25 PM by Zeraphia

Name: Darcy Anastasia Sturmhond Alva ~meaning~ Darcy: the dark-haired one Anastasia: She who will rise up again Sturmhond: Scourge of the Sea Age: 17 Gender: Female Pronouns: She/her Sexuality*: Straight as a poker Appearance: [Mod edit: Please do not hotlink images] Darcy is midnight rain, the rising tide, and a dark silhouette in the distance. She is tall for an American woman, standing at 5'9, because she isn't one. Born and raised in Sweden, she has most of the usual characteristics associated with her homeland, from the tall stature to her icy dark blue eyes, to her slight accent that makes her voice just a little bit softer. However, some of her features are less Swedish, and do less to reflect her homeland. Her skin is a mix of the paleness of her people with a soft bronze of the outdoors, so she often looks quite outdoorsy. Her cheeks are round, but her jawbone is well defined, offering her a very rich looking face. The delicate smattering of light freckles across her nose and the way her nose crinkles when she smiles makes her seem much sweeter than she really is. Her lips are full and pink, almost looking fake, but she is adamant that everything about her is natural. Darcy is a well-built woman, and has the sloping hourglass figure that she has always strived for, and a muscular frame, thanks to her affinity for early morning runs and lifting weights. She is quite content with her athletic looking body, and gets very upset when her weight fluctuates, even when it's normal. Her hair is long and dark, a rich brown that falls in gentle waves over her shoulders, and partway down her back. She normally leaves it down, styled to perfection. Her preferred way of dealing with the thick waves of hair is to curl them out of her face, with a delicate braid that rounds that back of her head. She is very proud of her locks, and takes great care to make sure that they always look perfect. This young woman takes great pride in considering herself a style icon, and dresses like every day might be the day she is scouted for modeling. She prefers pastels over brighter colors, but if she is trying to catch an eye, she is willing to tweak her outfits. She prefers pants to skirts, and likes to wear Bohemian harem pants with tight crop tops. Her accessories range from many bracelets, necklaces, and earrings, to her constantly changing nails and hair clips, barrettes, and tinsel woven into her luscious hairdos. As for marks on her soft skin, she has very few. A couple scars litter her arms, most of them from her outdoor adventures, and some from feral cats that she liked to raise in her childhood. Darcy doesn't have any huge scars that are very noticeable, however. She also has a few tattoos, most of them sentimental. She has a tiny moon on her right thumb, a bouquet of flowers on her left arm, and on the back of her neck, a little branch with two ravens sitting on it. She regrets most of her tattoos, but considers each one a part of the story of her life, and lauds them as memories over all else. Personality: Darcy normally has the personality of a feral cat that has just been shoved into a flea bath. She automatically assumes the worst of almost everyone, and is sharp tongued to the point of being cruel. She is distrustful and hard-headed, unwilling to change her opinions once they've been formed. Because of this, she usually comes off as judgmental and pretentious, and she does think highly of her own beliefs. She loves arguing just for the sake of arguing, and is a thrill seeker above all else. She hates feeling tied down for any reason, and although she is quick to form attachments, she's even quicker to drop them at a moment's notice. She is apathetic and cynical, content to see the world from the vantage point of everything being horrible. She is reckless and self-indulgent, preferring her feelings over those around her. She is stubborn, and as temperamental as the sea, leading to less close relationships due to her unwillingness to be a listening ear. Darcy has some vain tendencies, though they come out less often, mostly because people don't stick around long enough to hear her talk about herself. She is a chronic worrier, and believes strongly in the concept of fate. In truth, however, Darcy struggles with extreme anxiety and self-loathing, always angry at herself for not being good enough. When she opens up, she really is sweet, happy to listen to other's problems, and quite affectionate. She is adaptable and resourceful, thriving in outdoor situations. She is confident and imaginative, and loves to write and read all the time. Darcy is socially aware, good at talking cues from the situations surrounding her. She is extroverted, and extremely flamboyant. Although it seems as if she craves attention, she actually prefers to be surrounded by only a small group of people, the ones she really trusts. She's scared to be alone, but hates the thought of being relied on or having to rely on anyone. Thanks to a messy childhood, she will sometimes grapple with the really of her life, normally because she's upset with how it has gone so far. She is witty and uninhibited, throwing herself wholeheartedly into any projects around her. She especially loves painting and dancing, and thrives under pressure. She is always organized and neat, making sure her things are never left out somewhere where someone might see them. Darcy is an efficient and observant young woman, these traits stemming from her affinity for art. As a lover, Darcy really does try her best. She is willing to sit down and talk with her partner, but she doesn't understand that they will be upset when she is so quick to leave. This young woman would spoil her lover with gifts and material things, but is normally unwilling to offer herself to them. When she does, it means she trusts them with her life, but at any moment, she might up and leave for her own happiness. This has led to many broken relationships, and has discouraged her from trying again. Backstory*: WIP Likes: -dancing- -arguing- -being the best- -styling hair- -eating Thai food- -being loved- Dislikes: -loving- -being tied down- -feeling empty- -swiss cheese- -mud- -lengthy conversations- Theme Song or Quote*: Florida!!! by taylor swift Other: Darcy, as is expected of her family, can catch glimpses of the future, but her premonitions are normally hard to understand. Occasionally, they do not even come to pass. After seeing into the future, she is left shaken and bedridden for a few days ♡ Edited at September 22, 2024 11:08 AM by Kalahari
