WELCOME TO DAYBREAK ACADEMY
IC Thread

~A new journey into old territory~

Discord server

In a world where supernatural creatures of many kinds dwell hidden from - or indeed, amongst - humanity, you play as a student who has been enrolled in the Daybreak Academy for Inexplicable Anomalies.
The school, active for several hundred years, aims to teach its students based on three principles - concealing themselves from the mundane world, better grasping their own abilities and natures, and (most importantly) becoming functional members of society, whether mundane or otherwise.

The players are students at the academy - first-years, which translates to 'new arrivals' rather than a fixed age group, although they tend to be around 16-18 in mental if not physical age - immortal creatures are quite a burden on the school system. Reply to this thread with a character sheet to be considered for entry.

And all that remains to be said is to enjoy yourselves. If you learn anything along the way, that's pretty cool too.

CHARACTER SHEETS

Spoiler: Vijaya - KingMurdoc (click to show/hide)

Name:TMCP-AH-CR-04-WVMF-AATiAl-2PCA. Nickname "Vijaya."
Maturity: Approximately four years old, but with fairly mature mental capacity approximate to a 16 year old human and a similar body.
Abnormality: Vijaya is actually a military project, a combination of science and technology in an effort to create a super soldier.
Appearance: Medium length blonde hair and blue eyes at a height on the high end of average. Vijaya does not appear specifically male or female and indeed has no true biological sex. Their voice is similarly androgynous, and usually echoes with a faint but noticeable digitized quality (which is actually affected in order to ward off uncanny valley effects). They also tend to exhibit other "robotic" characteristics, such as leaving armor plating on their limbs, metal coverings where their ears would be, leaving half a visor over an eye, etc., though these are not necessary. When not in battle (i.e. most of the time), their various armor plates are compressed into a backpack-like box. In battle, they cover themselves with armor plating that gets bulkier around major joints, with multiple blades hovering behind them at the ready, which are controlled by magic fields. All of their plating has a mostly white color scheme, with blue accents and trim. (Casual is something like this, and battle mode is something like this with more clothing.)

Personality: Vijaya is. . . still learning how to be a person. They tend to take things at face value in excess and filter most things through a military mindset first. They also don't have a fantastic knowledge base on the world outside of what belongs in a workshop or a military base, and this combined with the mentality of "assess threat and eliminate if needed" can be problematic (though they don't blow things up on sight, else they'd never be allowed on their own.) Outside of this, they're somewhat of a blank slate, continually developing based on their experiences.

Backstory: The final output of a secret project incorporating magic and technology to create a super soldier capable of handling most operations with ease. Vijaya's exact origins are classified, even to themselves, but the project was eventually shut down due to it actually being more successful than anticipated: Vijaya was entirely sapient, and this called into question the ethics of creating more of them for the purpose of warfare. One of the magical consultants, an alum of Daybreak, recommended the school when the question of what to do with the results of the project was put forth. Seeing no real practical alternatives, Vijaya was bundled up and shipped off after it was assured that he had the capacity to operate outside a military context without reverting to "seek and destroy" or other problematic modes.

Other Notes: Powered by ambient magical energy. Sleeping generates more of this than is consumed by normal operation. Hard to damage, but can't heal without spare material. Appearance is designed to be relatively nonthreatening when not prepared for battle.

Spoiler: Mei - IamanElfCollaborator (click to show/hide)

Name: Zhou Mei (Zhou being her family name, Mei being her given name)
Maturity: 16 years of age both in body and mind.
Abnormality: Mei is part of a clan of monkeys called the Kong, monkeys who have achieved humanity through intense meditation, exposure to the five elements, and intense idolization of their idol and namesake, Sun Wukong. Though not fully Kong, she nonetheless possesses their traits, in addition to those granted as the reincarnation of the Monkey King.

Appearance: Mei stands about 5'2", with a lithe, athletic frame befitting of a martial arts fanatic. Her hair is auburn, kept out of her brown eyes by a light headband. Her monkey tail is covered in the same color of fur as her hair is, a slit cut in most of her lower body wear to let her tail out and covered up with illusion spells. Her general attire consists of short skirts over shorts and shirts with vests, letting her keep her body as free as possible for training and running about.

Personality: Mei is, by all standards, a hyperactive yet laidback girl, with either side being emphasised depending on the time of day and if the activity being presented to her is interesting or not. She is rather sociable and excitable, always eager to look at interesting things that catch her eye, sometimes far too much. Mei is also rather into training and keeping fit, being a massive fan of martial arts movies from her youth, and the enhanced physique that Mei has as a Kong and a reincarnation of the Monkey King aids her on that front. When she's not training, she's either lounging about or practicing drumming, drumming for a band being one of her dreams. Despite her being generally laidback and open, Mei will not tolerate bullies in front of her and will often discourage such misdeeds with either a kick or a smack from Ruyi Bang.

Backstory: The story of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, the Sage Equal to Heaven and the famous aide of the monk Xuanzang on their journey to the West to collect the sutras of compassion, is well-known throughout the world. Equally as well-known is that before assuming the name of Sun Wukong, he was the Monkey King for bringing his group of monkeys to the source of the stream they so loved to bathe in, gaining the alliance of other beastly powers and defeating the dragons of the four seas to acquire his magical armory. To this day, Sun Wukong reigns in the heavens as a Buddha, the Victorious Fighting Buddha, renown for his service to Xuanzang and his unparalleled strength. What is less-known, however, is what became of the monkeys Wukong ran with once, the ones he left in the cave to adventure away and get into various sorts of trouble.

These monkeys had heard of the exploits of their king, hearing of how he had erased their names from the Book of Life and Death, how he had fought the heavens themselves and won, and eventually his ascension to the heavens. Through years of meditation and a pilgrimmage to Mount Huaguo, the birthplace of the Monkey King, these monkeys achieved enlightenment, becoming all but indistinguishable from humans except for their distinctive monkey tails, a reminder that they had once been lowly monkeys before reaching enlightenment. Dubbing themselves the Kong, the monkeys went off back into the forests to civilize themselves and forever be indebted to the Monkey King, who they revered as a god. The monkeys who had led the expedition to Mount Huaguo were forever known as Elders, who rule to this day, unable to die as their names are unmarked in the Book of Life and Death. They still lead the diaspora of Kong today, despite many of them having dispersed to the four winds, hiding in various supernatural communities.

The consequences of their journey to Mount Huaguo, however, was that much of the same energies that had infused Wukong upon his birth had infused them as well. Every now and then, a Kong is born with similar traits to revered Wukong; stone-like skin, immense strength, the ability to discern evil and lies with a glance, natural aptitude for battle and magic alike, and the ability to create illusory clones of themselves, just like the Monkey King himself. The Elders dub these Kongs reincarnations of the Monkey King and revere them as leaders of the Kong even beyond themselves. Aside from the original Monkey King himself, eight Monkey Kings have aided the Elders in ruling over the Kong people from times immemorial, their long lives ensuring peaceful reigns. The last Monkey King, Mao Jianghong, died in the nineteenth century after a tenure of four hundred years, even having aided in the now-famous adaptation of the Journey to the West. Since then, there have been no reincarnations of the Monkey King, and so the Elders dutifully guided their people even as they began to spread out throughout the world at a rate faster than before.

Mei Zhou, the ninth reincarnation of the Monkey King, was born about sixteen years ago, to a Kong mother and a human father, who raised her as normally as they could, using spells to hide her tail and trying to maintain a balance of normality and the supernatural. When Mei began to show the traits that were signs of the Monkey King, a Kong neighbour contacted the Kong Elders, who immediately sent out agents to confirm Mei's status. When it was confirmed that she, indeed, was the reincarnation of the Monkey King, they sent over her regalia and began arranging for her to return to China to be raised in the role of the Monkey King as her predecessors had been. Her parents, of course, disagreed, desiring a normal life for their daughter, including a normal high school for her. After a long fight between the agents of the Elders and the Zhou family over where Mei belonged, a compromise was struck; Mei would not be returned to China but neither would she be sent to a mortal school. Instead, she would be sent to Daybreak Academy, so she might be educated in the ways of the supernatural as she ought to be. The Elders would then let her decide whether or not she would be the Monkey King.

And so Mei was sent off to Daybreak Academy to immerse herself fully in a world that she had only experienced so much of.

Other Notes: Mei, as part of her inheritance of the mantle of the Monkey King, possesses the Kong replica of Ruyi Jingu Bang, Wukong's famous extending and size-changing staff, which she wears as a hairpin, as well as working replicas of his cloud-walking boots, phoenix-feather cap and golden chainmail; she only carries around Ruyi Bang and the boots for everyday wear.

Spoiler: Mira - BlitzDungeoneer (click to show/hide)

Name: Mira Branz
Maturity: 17 years of age, chronologically, physically and mentally.
Abnormality: Mira was born with an abnormal amount of magical power and talent, allowing her to do big magical things ‘easily’.
Unfortunately, untrained human bodies aren’t meant to handle that much power from birth, crippling her magically, and damaging and hindering her physically. ‘Small’ magic requires huge amounts of concentration and practice, while anything too big strains her too much for a repeat performance.
Appearance: Mira is tall and waif-like. Looking at her gives one the feeling that a particularly stiff breeze might make her keel over. She has long black hair, braided with ribbons along the sides, brown eyes and constant bags under said eyes. She likes wearing sundresses, or, failing that, a shirt and a long skirt. Color doesn’t really seem to matter much to her, though.
Personality: Mira is very bitter, about lots of things. She’s prone to sarcasm, to throwing thinly-veiled barbs even when she doesn’t really mean to, and while she’s hard to truly provoke, pushing her too far will result in lashing out.

She tries to hide all this behind a somewhat cheerful, optimistic persona however. Even if she can’t stop feeling the way she does about so many things, life is entirely too short to spend brooding on mistakes and failures. So she tries not to. Helping out other people, smiling, trying to keep an optimistic view of things… She doesn’t always succeed, but she tries.

Beyond that, she’s also very driven to succeed at whatever interests her, throwing herself at it with an unholy fervour. She enjoys talking magibabble with others when possible, annoyed though she is at being unable to make good use of a lot of it.
Backstory: Mira isn’t very happy with her past, both with things she’s done and with things others have. She’s also not very prone to sharing, thank you very much.
Other Notes: Very, very, very squishy. Weak constitution combined with the havoc magic wreaked upon her body means a stiff breeze probably COULD hurt her somewhat.
Runs out of breath quickly, prefers levitating when possible.

Spoiler: Armis - Sentient Bowtie (click to show/hide)

Name: Armis Palantes.
Maturity: Eighteeen...? Yeah, let's go with that.
Abnormality: They are, for all intents and purposes, a soul inhabiting an empty suit of armor. This should explain itself.
Appearance: Their armor was obviously built for a large person indeed, standing about seven and a half feet. It's big, bulky, heavy, and undeniably strong. Most of the armor is a polished silver color, with lots of angular, protruding shapes. The helmet has a T-shaped slit in it on the front as well as sort of a simple kilt made from white cloth that wraps almost all the way around Armis' waist, leaving a few inches of their right side bared. It has a purple symbol of a shield crossed with an arrow and a scroll on the front. Armis completes the look with a deep mauve, near floor-length cloak. The hood is usually raised, exposing only a set of glowing lavender eyes(?).

Personality: Inquisitive, friendly, arguably simple. Very aware of their appearance and how it scares some people, so they tend to overcompensate in terms of demeanor. And gender? Huh??? Is that a disease??
Backstory: Well, they were probably alive, once. Maybe? Until they weren't, perhaps, and then someone put them in the suit of armor. The person must have liked Armis a whole lot, because putting them into the armor killed them, possibly. There was a corpse, though. It was cool! So then Armis walked around for a really long time and people yelled and then other, more important people in blue clothes showed up. Armis told them about the corpse and how Cool it was, but the important people told Armis it actually was Not Cool, so Armis supposes it's Really Not Cool After All. After that they took Armis to this big building. It's called a sküle, right? No? Well, sküle is more fun to say, but Armis can call it a school if you really want them to.
Other Notes: [Obligatory oversized genital reference]

Spoiler: Dale - kj225 (click to show/hide)

Name: Daidalos, son of Erebus. Prefers to be called Dale.
Maturity: 17 years old
Abnormality: Dale is a Wizard specialising in Conjuring.
Appearance: This aloof gentleman has beady gray eyes. His fine, curly, black hair is worn in a style that reminds you of a mysterious mask. He is tall and has a wide-chested build. His skin is deeply-tanned. He has small feet. He always wears an Alabama hat. Says he feels naked without a hat. Probably a wizard thing.
Personality: Dale is rather laid back for a wizard. He likes to sit around watching youtube videos via Roku rather than experiment with magic and plot to take over America. At least he thinks that's odd for a wizard.
Backstory:  Dale is from a family of wizards in Alabama who, thanks to working in all kinds of technological fields of magic are quite wealthy. Particularly his father who works in agriculture. Dale is oddly regressive however in that he wanted to study one of the old magic niches, summoning and conjuration. However, his family is supporrtive and banded together to get him a Human-Griffin hybrid. (Well, more on their way to get a Griffin they found this one abanded and picked it up since she wouldn't be as hard to hide and care for. And also she was free.) Since then he's picked up a hobby in taking pictures of her and uploading them on the Wiznet because Dale thinks her smile is simply radient.
Other Notes: Has a Human-Griffin hybrid as a summon and needs a space for her to sleep nearby lest she get antsy. The Summon is named Leona and appears to be a woman with tanned skin and blonde hair. She tends to be seen wearing a suit as it's "Professional".

Spoiler: Coda - ironsnake345 (click to show/hide)

Name: Coda. (nobody bothered giving them a name, so he just went with Coda.)
Maturity: Physically and mentally, about 17-18. Chronologically, who knows?
Abnormality: Has a demonic chain with a demonic sword attached to it coming out of his tailbone, as well as some amount of demon blood in his veins. Also seems to maybe have some amount of demonic powers?
Appearance: Coda is a guy who stands a bit on the short side, and seems rather skinny. He has medium-length jet-black hair. He wears a long black coat with an intricate gray pattern, as well as dark gray pants and shoes. It's rare to see him without the coat; he's very reluctant to take it off. Attached at the tailbone is a chain of some ebony-black metal, at the end of which is a misshapen sword made of the same material. These are often hidden within Coda's coat, but sometimes they are revealed, especially when Coda gets angry.
Personality: Coda is not very outgoing. He rarely talks to someone he doesn't know, and even more rarely goes out in search of someone to befriend. To those he hasn't already made friends with, he seems somewhat cold and doesn't really talk about himself, but if one manages to befriend him, he starts to open up quite a bit.
Backstory: Coda doesn't remember much about his past. As far as he can tell, he spent most of his life in a fugue state (not even sure how he knows what that means) but he at least knows two things about himself: He was born with a spaded demon's tail and some amount of demon blood in his veins, and his parents got rid of him before even bothering to name him because of that. All he remembers before being hauled off to Daybreak (not against his will, mind you) is about a lot of vague memories of wandering--sometimes through populated areas and sometimes not--followed by a few consecutive weeks of consciousness spent wandering aimlessly in a forest.
Other Notes: Coda's chain and sword is actually a prehensile appendage. A tail, really. If he gets too angry or is legitimately threatened, he tends to lose control, since his demon side starts coming forth when this happens. Also, the chain gets longer, and he gains increased control of both it and the blade at the end of it. A clear sign of when he's really losing control is when the gray pattern on his jacket, as well as his eyes, glow blood red.
Also for some reason he really likes the taste of fresh blood. Can't get enough.

Dale is oddly regressive however in that he wanted to study one of the old magic niches, summoning and conjuration. However, his family is supporrtive and banded together to get him a Human-Griffin hybrid. (Well, more on their way to get a Griffin they found this one abanded and picked it up since she wouldn't be as hard to hide and care for. And also she was free.) Since then he's picked up a hobby in taking pictures of her and uploading them on the Wiznet because Dale thinks her smile is simply radient.
Other Notes: Has a Human-Griffin hybrid as a summon and needs a space for her to sleep nearby lest she get antsy. The Summon is named Leona and appears to be a woman with tanned skin and blonde hair. She tends to be seen wearing a suit as it's "Professional".

If anyone here misses Cross Star Reverse (Yep, that's how it's pronounced.) then they're about to get nostalgic.

Spoiler: Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Coda. (nobody bothered giving them a name, so he just went with Coda.)
Maturity: Physically and mentally, about 17-18. Chronologically, who knows?
Abnormality: Has a demonic chain with a demonic sword attached to it coming out of his tailbone, as well as some amount of demon blood in his veins. Also seems to maybe have some amount of demonic powers?
Appearance: Coda is a guy who stands a bit on the short side, and seems rather skinny. He has medium-length jet-black hair. He wears a long black coat with an intricate gray pattern, as well as dark gray pants and shoes. It's rare to see him without the coat; he's very reluctant to take it off. Attached at the tailbone is a chain of some ebony-black metal, at the end of which is a misshapen sword made of the same material. These are often hidden within Coda's coat, but sometimes they are revealed, especially when Coda gets angry.
Personality: Coda is not very outgoing. He rarely talks to someone he doesn't know, and even more rarely goes out in search of someone to befriend. To those he hasn't already made friends with, he seems somewhat cold and doesn't really talk about himself, but if one manages to befriend him, he starts to open up quite a bit.
Backstory: Coda doesn't remember much about his past. As far as he can tell, he spent most of his life in a fugue state (not even sure how he knows what that means) but he at least knows two things about himself: He was born with a spaded demon's tail and some amount of demon blood in his veins, and his parents got rid of him before even bothering to name him because of that. All he remembers before being hauled off to Daybreak (not against his will, mind you) is about a lot of vague memories of wandering--sometimes through populated areas and sometimes not--followed by a few consecutive weeks of consciousness spent wandering aimlessly in a forest.
Other Notes: Coda's chain and sword is actually a prehensile appendage. A tail, really. If he gets too angry or is legitimately threatened, he tends to lose control, since his demon side starts coming forth when this happens. Also, the chain gets longer, and he gains increased control of both it and the blade at the end of it. A clear sign of when he's really losing control is when the gray pattern on his jacket, as well as his eyes, glow blood red.
Also for some reason he really likes the taste of fresh blood. Can't get enough.
