We have added a few things to the requirements to power and ability upgrades. Be sure and read the details in the most recent update when you request a new power / upgrade.
Well, its the weekend here at MHS. Wouldn't it be great if all schools started on a Friday for the first day of school. What a way to start off. You get a weekend right after your first day. Well, this is because we are done with the first day of class. How so you ask. As you only went to one class. yes, but I am sure that doing the same thing for each class would get boring. So the one class you experienced is basically how all the classes are going to be.
Teacher posts role. Day gets started, end of class happens, everyone goes to their next class, or home..
Well, ezboard still hasn't confirmed anything on a final date when everything is changed over to Yuku. And we are working on what to do next. We all want user friendliness after everything is changed away from Ezbaord, and we are trying everything we can to ensure that we have just that when we are at a new board hosting site.
We have a guest book. Take a look. If you haven't taken a look yet, be sure and do so. ^_^

Appearance: Knives is a handsome guy, standing slightly taller than average height at 6'2". He's not overly muscular, but his body is well-toned; this proves he's strong compared to the average person, but he's not superhuman in his strength. Also, the fact that his body isn't bulky helps with his speed, which is his main advantage in battle. Other than body size, he's got curly brown hair that's a bit longer than normal for a guy, falling into his eyes in the front and past where his ears should be on the sides. Yes, where they should be - as he doesn't have normal human ears, but rather brown furry ears like a German Shepard, poking out from his hair. These are the first things that prove he's not completely human, but half. His eyes are a deep blue, and seem to sparkle when he smiles. And his teeth are another thing that show what he is - his canines are unusually large, and unusually sharp, like fangs of a dog. Other than these things, though, he looks like a regular human.
Also, in the middle of his back, he has a strange mark. It's in the shape of circle, with lines and marks within it. It's a special circle, which was used to seal his dog traits when he was young; it's still there, and it seems to still have some effect on Knives, though he doesn't know it.
Personality: Overall, he's pretty laid back. He's not easily bothered by things, and is almost always happy. He's also a bit goofy sometimes, and doesn't get embarrassed easily - which is good, as he can easily make people laugh this way. Most of the time, he's a people person, and he loves to be around others rather than by himself. He's most likely to open up in small groups, and when in large groups he'll generally search out a small group or maybe just a couple of other people to spend time with. When he sees someone he knows, he'll usually brighten up immediately. Even in a battle, he's likely to be happy, laid back, and even sometimes goofy. While he's not easily angered or saddened, when it does happen, it hits him hard. It'll take a lot to dampen his mood, but when these emotions come, he really gets mad or depressed, and may even take it out on those around him. But, under most circumstances, he's a pretty good guy to be around.
Special Power: Having just learned about what he was and his new abilities, he really only has one power - and it's only helpful in battle. By focusing his energy into his fingernails, he can cause them to grow and sharpen, turning into steel-hard claws; he can even have his energy remain in the claws, making them even stronger. But, as he's only recently learned this ability, it's still kinda weak, although stronger than a normal weapon. Yet he still would rather rely on his sword, since his claws can't really be used for defending in a sword fight....It's just a regular, samauri-style sword.
Moonlight Power - Knives's power and speed increase when he stands in the moonlight. How much, though, depends on how much of the moon is out. For example, when there's a crescent moon out, he will gain about 10% more power/speed. When half moon's out, he'll get about 50% increase, and on a full moon, his power nd speed will double. There are two downfalls to this, though; for one thing, when his power and speed increase, so do his instinctive urges. They urge him to attack, to eat, etc...animal urges. He can overcome them, but it gets harder the bigger the moon is; when the full moon is out, he'll pretty much lose control.
Another down side is that on a no moon night, he loses all of his powers, abilities, and dog traits, becoming a normal, powerless human. It makes him weak and vulnerable. And, unlike the other nights (when he actually has to be in the moonlight to gain the increase), the no moon and the full moon are in effect whether or not there's moonlight on him.
As a side note, he also gradually gains the physical appearance of a very big dog, depending on the moonlight - just a tail under the crescent moon, 3/4 moon he gets all furry, full moon he actually takes on the form of a dog.
Also, under the full moon, since he's lost his concious mind, he also cant use certain abilities (ex. making his super-sharp claws) because he cant focus to do so.
History: His father wasn't human; he was more of a dog creature. But he could take on a form similar to a human, had the mentality and intelligence of a human, and, well, was basically a superpowered human. This allowed him to marry a human woman and have a half-human child, who he named Knives (while a somewhat strange name for a human, it's perfectly normal to the race of Knives's father). But this race of dog creatures was not accepted by humans; they were too physically different. Knives only had the ears and fangs of a dog, and his father used a special ability to seal the traits of his race in his son and hide what he was from the world.
Unfortunately, his father was not accepted in the human world, and could not live with his wife and son. So he was forced to leave, and live with his pack in the mountains, where the humans could not reach them. So, as Knives grew up, he only knew his father through phone calls and letters, never having met his father in person. That prevented him from finding out what he was and what his father was. So, he grew up as a normal human...He was accepted, he became very popular, and nothing was physically, emotionally, and mentally normal.He took interest in swords and swordsmanship at a young age. As he grew, he became strong and fast (not superhuman, it just came natural to him. He was very good for a human, and didn't have to make as much effort as others.) He was also very atheletic. He became good at all the sports he participated in, and became a very good as he continued to train as a swordsman.
At the age of 15, his mother finally told him where his father was. He went to see his father, and was shocked at what he found. His father explained what he was, and gave him the choice of having his own traits of this race of dog creatures revealed - but, as the seal could only be placed upon a half-breed at birth, Knives would not be able to be a normal human ever again. Of course, Knives was excited, and wanted the seal removed. So, his father removed it. When the seal was removed, Knives gained strength, speed (especially), and heightened senses of a dog, as well as the special ability to create his claws. His father taught him how to use these abilities, and after a week or so, Knives returned home.
He got home, only to find that he was no longer accepted. His close friends still liked him, but people had a real problem with such strange attributes on a person. Discouraged, but not downhearted, Knives searched out a new place to go where he would be accepted. What he found was a high school of meta humans like him. So, he transferred from his human high school to find his place at Manga High.

EXAMPLE ROLE-PLAYING POST:
Knives peeked into the dark cave. He was exhausted from climbing the mountain, but he knew he must continue searching. This one must be the cave he was looking for, where his father was living. As his deep blue eyes peered into the darkness, he found a glimmer of light cast onto the stone at the back wall of the cave. Slowly, he walked towards that wall. But before he could reach it, a bit of movement caught his eye. He looked towards it, and saw a large dog, similar in shape to a German Shepard, approaching. A bit frightened that he entered the lair of a wild animal, his hand shot towards the hilt of his sword, sheathed at his hip. but as the dog approached, he noticed it wasn't going to attack him; in fact, it had a kind look in its eye. It looked up at him, and then its eyes grew larger. All of a sudden, Knives found a man standing before him.
"Knives? Is that you? My boy! I can't believe it! How did you know I was here?!" Knives blinked a bit, shocked, not knowing what was going on. This man before him looked like an older version of him....but he was so....not human. For one thing, he had dog ears, and fangs. His hair was long, shaggy, reminiscent of a canine, and fur extended out from under his shirt and pants, down his arms and legs, ending on his hands and feet - which looked like paws that were adapted for human uses. Knives blinked again, trying to make sense of this. Finally, he found his voice. "Wh-what is going on?"
After a few hours, Knives started to understand. He'd been led deep into the cave, and was now seated in a lounge chair across a very cozy room from his father. The room actually had the feel of a living room rather than a cave, and one could almost forget that it actually was a cave. Knives looked around him at the other dogs wandering around, in and out of the room; they were his pack, his extended family. It was so strange...but it felt right.
"So..." he smiled. "I'm a dog? Awesome!" He laughed. "How come I don't look like you?"
His father nodded a bit. "It's because humans don't like us...I sealed away all traits of our race in you, so that you could be normal."
Knives blinked. "Aww....I wanna be a dog person. That'd be so cool!"
This time, his father laughed. "You say that, but....you won't be accepted anymore. And I can't change you back. The seal only works on half-breeds right after they're born...."
Knives nodded. "Yeah, but I'm so awesome, people can't help but like me anyways," He said with a joking tone, followed by a small laugh. "Either way, I think they'd see it cool, I know I do!"
"If you're sure." His father shrugged, and stood up. "Alright, I'll undo the seal. You completely sure?" Without hesitation, Knives nodded, his longish, curly brown hair bouncing as he did so.
He didn't know that this would change his life, drastically, permanently....
(Hope this is good, I tried to adapt my favorite rp chara to fit the rules...)
Appearance: Saori's physical build matches her personality: she's small and petite, which helps her to stay out of the center of attention fairly well. She only stands at about 5'0, and is pretty skinny (not unhealthily, or even unattractively...just a little bit skinnier than the normal girl). She's also not especially voluptuous, though she's definitely got a body...it's just smaller than the average girl. The problem is, even with her small stature and her shy personality, such a pretty girl as Saori can't prevent attention. Especially with one feature: her long, thick hair is naturally green (not lime-green or neon green, kind of a dull green...somehow, it actually looks natural). Her bangs are fairly long and thick, too, and tend to hang in her eyes, so that she has to keep pulling them out of her vision. Her eyes are also an emerald green, to match her hair; they're usually big, wide, and scared-looking.Her face shows mostly American features, though she does have a hint of an Asian look to her, visible mostly in her eyes; this only adds to her appeal.
She also has wings like an eagle, white-and-grey feathered: her attribute as a wind-user. They sprout from her back, and have an immense wingspan, a little longer than she is tall. But she can make them appear or disappear at her will. She loves her wings, and is very proud of them...in fact, they are the only part of her body that she is truly proud of. Yet no one has yet seen them besides her brothers. She did not have them until just recently, and is ashamed of that fact: which is why she loves them, and which is why no one has yet seen them.
Personality: Saori is very shy. She's nervous around most people, aside from her family and her extremely close friends. She's also very afraid to meet new people, and under certain circumstances, she may not even talk at all. This also has another aspect to it: because she's not been around people much, she has a tendency to form crushes easily, and will become very attached to people who show kindness towards her. She's slightly less shy around girls, but not by much. Once someone begins to break through her shell, she'll gradually become more talkative, and will begin to show affection for that person. When she truly likes someone, she becomes very close, and even clings to them.
But when she's in the sky, soaring, her personality changes completely. She is happy, she is excited, she'll even talk. She's at home in the sky, since she's a wind-user. But no one has yet seen this side of her...only her brothers have seen her wings, and so no one else as seen her fly. And even then, her brothers cannot fly, and weren't in the skies with her at the time.
Special Power: Wind Control: Saori can control the wind around her. This means she can take what wind there is, and move it to her will. Currently, she cannot create wind, and it takes immense magical energy for her to make the wind move faster than it is already moving. Of course, she's really weak, one of the weakest on her island - so the most she can do is make the wind strong enough to knock a person over, and not much more. She will also collapse if she continuously speeds up the wind - which means she can do it in 5 short bursts or for 5 minutes at a time without a short rest.
Also, because of her wind-powers and her wings, she can fly. Though she may not be very physically strong, and her wings cannot carry her when there is no wind to soar upon...she can control the wind to lift her up. She can also do this to help others with wings to fly, but it is much more difficult. When she's flying, she controls the wind through the way she feels it over her body...whereas when someone else is flying, she would have to think more about what she's doing, which makes it much more difficult to concentrate and sustain the right amount of wind under the person's wings.
History:
Saori was born on an island, where the rest of the world didn't even know about. The island was somewhere between Japan and America, so the people of this island have a tendency to be of either ancestry, though more often they're mixed, like Saori and her brothers. The reason that the island is hidden from the eyes of the rest of humanity is because of its immense magical properties: human instruments don't detect it, and machines will deter from it (such as planes and boats) without the humans even knowing, because of their instruments being tampered with. And because it's so far from any other land mass, it's impossible to see with the human eye.
The island is home to a special breed of human. The people on this island have a tendency to be able to control some natural force in the world: wind, stone, plants, etc. Saori and her brothers were all three gifted with these abilities. Her eldest brother, Katsuo, has control of fire, while the middle brother, Chiyo, can control nature and plants. Saori was gifted with wind.
As they grew up, the three children started to come into their abilities. Katsuo and Chiyo acquired theirs at a young age, and began to learn; by the time they were 15, bother were rather skilled in their abilities. Saori, on the other hand, didn't learn of her powers until she was 10. And even then, she's rather unskilled, unable to do much with them even by the age of 15. She also has yet to gain her special attributes that come with her powers.
Because she's so unskilled, she was mistreated by her peers. This drove her to become silent and shy, unlike her brothers, to the point that she even avoids contact from other humans. Her brothers and her parents are very protective of her; but they couldn't even help her.
With no other options, Saori's parents finally decided to send her to MHS. There, she could learn to use her powers, and no one would know how unskilled she was.
"No!" Saori cried out, her voice becoming squeaky. "I don't want to go! I don't want to leave you!" Saori fell back into the couch behind her, tears streaming down her cheeks. They stained her skin, leaving trails of wetness from her eyes to her chin, causing the skin there to become a darker shade of pink than the rest of her face. She quickly covered her face with her hands, attempting to hide it from her parents. She wasn't worried about what they thought; they were the only ones who loved her. She hated the thought of leaving that love behind, to go into a world of strangers. It scared her to death.
She felt the cushions of the couch shift underneath her, and quickly realized that someone had sat down beside her. Just as she lifted her head, she felt a strong arm snake around her shoulders. She turned her head, and through her thick bangs, saw the fiery redhead that was her eldest brother, Katsuo. She hadn't even known he'd shown up in the room. The instant she saw it was him, she immediately threw her arms around him, clinging hard to him as if he could save her somehow. Her face was immediately buried into his chest, hair flung wildly across it. "Help, onii-san!" She cried out, in her mix of English and Japanese. His hand patted her back gently, comfortingly, underneath the soft, silky hair that hand down it.
"Listen, sis," He said, his voice soft and comforting for her, "It's best that you go. You'll make all sorts of new friends." She lifted her head, tilting it back so that she could look up at him. Her bangs still hung across her face, but this time they only covered one eye. The other emerald eye gazed straight up at him, straight into his eyes. Her mouth hung open slightly, in a cute, innocent sort of look. It was obvious that she would take anything her eldest brother said to heart, and probably believe him. "Besides," He continued, "You don't want to have to deal with these stupid people here who don't appreciate you. I'm sure the people in America will love such a pretty girl like you." Then, with a wink, he added, "And maybe Chiyo or I will join you at some point."
Slowly, Saori sat back, pulling away from the hug. She drew her arms back, holding her hands shyly in front of her. Then, she lifted them to her face, so that she could brush her fingers underneath her eyes, and across her cheeks, wiping the wet tears from those spots. Still frowning unhappily, she gazed up at her brother. Then, she nodded slightly, shyly.
"O-ok..." she stammered nervously. A deep sigh escaped her. "I-I guess I'll go...i-if I have to..."

It's good, and yes, you can add a picture later.

Fine.

By focusing his energy into his fingernails, he can cause them to grow and sharpen, turning into steel-hard claws; he can even have his energy remain in the claws, making them even stronger. But, as he's only recently learned this ability, it's still kinda weak, although stronger than a normal weapon. Yet he still would rather rely on his sword, since his claws can't really be used for defending in a sword fight....
Make mention to the sword here, like what kind of sword. They are considered powers as a way to limit the amount of weapons people have.
History: His father wasn't human; he was more of a dog creature. But he could take on a form similar to a human, had the mentality and intelligence of a human, and, well, was basically a superpowered human.

Thanks for explaining the name, anyway, this is fine. However, your speed and strength are not going to be greater than someone's who put a power into it. Also, people don't just come out of no where with a sword, explain how he got it.
