Appearance: Black hair and red eyes, tall and slender. He's usually quiet but when he does talk Ashe is fond of making dramatic gestures. Ashe tends to glare alot and he always wears a blue jeweled pendant.
History: Ashe has been at the institute a few months longer than the others. He was raised by a single mother who was more than slightly crazy. His mother was a scientist who attempted to destroy Ashe's ability by subjecting him to torture and abuse (mostly electrocution).
A year ago his mother died of cancer and Ashe became a ward of the state until his father, who he never knew, stepped forward to claim custody. Ashe's father is the Chairman of the institute. His father brought him to Zete's Institute to help him gain control of his power. Not that Ashe cares, he's the classic loner and usually skips his classes. He doesn't tell anyone that he is related to the Chairman, likewise the Chairman didn't inform the faculty (suspicious).
Strengths: Ashe channeled a fear of being helpless into a love of martial arts, he is quite skillful in several different disciplines, although he never fought back against his mother 'cus she was his mom. Very agile, some of the grace and sharpened senses from his animal shifting has carried over to his human form.
Flaws: Slightly claustrophobic, also Ashe has major authority issues even if an order makes complete sense he will question, or outright disobey it, just to be contrary.
Psychic abilities: The scientific name for his ability is Molecular Reconstruction, but what it basically boils down to is shape shifting. At the beginning of the story he is only capable of partial shifts, but as the story progresses he will gain the ability to shapeshift fully. He also has a tendency to feel an animal's instincts even in human form. (Note: It's actually possible for Ashe to become trapped in a shapeshift for a short time.)
He also has a very slight ability as an electrokinetic due to his mother's electroshock treatments. This ability could either increase or dissapear as the series progresses. As a result of this warped secondary ability he needs to periodically discharge electricity that has built up in his body (Which he normally uses storms for). No one knows about his electrokinesis, Ashe has kept the ability secret due to his paranoia in order to use as a trump card.
Medical Issues: He's slightly paranoid and due to his mother's "treatments" has difficulty controlling his power.
Up for love: Sure, and he's straight but Ashe is a bit of a lone wolf.
Others: 1) Ashe loves high places and can normally be found on the roof or up a tree. A tendency that was exacberated by his claustrophobia and his ability (animals hate being trapped).
2) He's a brilliant muscian, plays the guitar and composes his own songs.
3) Ironically Ashe adores thunderstorms and can often be found outside in the rain.

I'll give ya a little something to really watch out for.
Name: Arthur Jameston Age: 17 Appearance: Quite skinny, pretty tall, bronze skin, red hair that's an inch past the waist, and hard colbalt blue eyes. Sometimes you won't see him because he's shy, but once you get to know him he's actually very easy to talk to. He has a scar on his left cheek and a birthmark- which look an awful lot like a cobra if you stare at it long enough- on his back. He wears an amethyst pendant under his shirt, in fear that someone would take it from him since it's all he has left of his recently deceased mother. History: Arthur never knew his father and spent his life with his mother and grandparents. He had quite the normal childhood until his grandfather passed away when he was six. The one fully aware of Arthur's power of invisiblity and mind-reading was his grandmother, who was- by family blood- a witch. Arthur was ten when his grandmother revealled herself as a witch and was taught on potions and spells by his mother's consent. After his sixteenth birthday, Arthur's grandmother asked him if he wanted to meet others of his "kind" within a year. He accepted and managed to pack up certain ingredients before attending the institute in the fall. It's been a month since his mother died and his grandmother sent him an amethyst pendant to remember his mother by. Since his grandmother was the one who sent him to the institute, she's the closest Arthur has of a mother and a family. Strengths: Arthur is a self-trained martial artist and loves the art of invisiblity (pun unintended, heh heh). He's also a master in potion-making and holds the element of water as an offensive power whenever he's in a very tight spot. Flaws: Even though he has water as magic, he's afraid of the water because he almost drowned at twelve years old. He also has a temper issue that often triggers his invisiblity power. Psychic abilities: He can read minds like books and is aquakinetic. Chances are he might not use his power over water since he's afraid of it, but if someone give him a pep talk he'll do it without question. He can also turn invisible at will whenever he wants to, but this can be reversed if you ask him a question and he has to make a direct answer. Medical issues: (here's the biggest bombshell I got) He doesn't like man-made medicine in general and would go crazy if you push him too far. He rather use potions or healing concoctions made from things in the wild. Up for love: Yes he's up, but he's bisexual. Other: He's half witch. If you starting reading the Salem witch trials and Arthur happens to be around- invisible or otherwise- while you're reading, he will go nuts and might have you encased in ice for a while. Also he's very mischievious for someone his age. If something happens and nobody knows who really did it, that could be Arthur pulling off one of his childish pranks and staying literally unseen to get away with it. He's not really a bully, just some over-rated prankster whenever he feels like it.

Look down and show some mercy if you can. Look down, look down, upon your fellow man.
I'm ready when everybody else is. I might need someone to notice my character before I write in his view. Otherwise, I'll just let him pop in at random.

*I'll see if I can get this going, I'm assuming the 'school year' just started so it's september.*
Ashe Breaker:
The late afternoon sun beat down on the dormitory roof, heating the tiles to a pleasant warmth. Ashe stretched languidly and glanced out over the compound. The institute was located on the outskirts of town, away from prying eyes. The trees dotting the grassy yard were just beginning to change color.
He scowled in irritation as he saw one of the trainers ran out of the research lab. Jessica Ambur was in her early thirties, her blonde hair gathered into a tight bun. Her lab coat gleamed spotlessly in the sunlight as she scoured the campus. Her shrill voice was almost painfull to listen to. "Ashe, Cataluna, David. You three come here this instant. You need to work with your abilities today..."
Ashe chuckled in amusement. Apperantly he wasn't the only one who didn't feel like training.
*Apologies to Cspr and Deathroses if they don't want their characters skipping. I just thought this would make for an interesting beginning.*

At the sound of "training," Arthur decided to go and cause a little mischief. He was completely invisible to even the artifical eye, so he had the whole place as his little playground. Although at seventeen, he still enjoyed a priceless prank or two whenever he found the chance. However, it was his targets that was the hard part. He knew better than to pick on certain people who go over the edge if he goes too far. One of the trainers asked, "Has anybody seen Arthur lately?" When nobody answered, Arthur slunk to the lab with a sly grin on his face. He murmured happily, "This oughta be one hell of a good trick." Still invisible, he made a face in front of a camera and giggled. "Man, I just love doing this. Nobody can see me."
Look down and show some mercy if you can. Look down, look down, upon your fellow man.
*Hugs* THANK YOU!!! Cataluna Zara I flinched when I heard Jessica say my full name. I turned to her my eyes carefully soft. "I'd prefer to be called Cat or Luna." I said forcing my voice to remain calm. Jessica rolled her eyes and snapped "I don't care you have testing today." "Goddess your annoying." I snapped back at her. She looked like she wanted to say something but forced a smile. "Follow me." She chirped falsely sweet. I rolled my eyes and walked past her into the lab leaning against a wall. I kept my eyes closed as I slowly tentatively felt everyone's emotions. Irritation, amusement, and anger. "Cataluna come here." Jessica snapped her shrill voice making me grit me teeth. I walked over to her and saw a girl about 17 sitting across a table. "You will be picking out cards from this box," Here she shoved a metal box with a slit on the top. "And whatever emotion it says you will try and make her feel." Jessica said calmly. I looked at her fear evident in my eyes. "What if I go to far?" I asked quietly. Jessica smiled sweetly. "You can stop I believe in you." She said gently. I bit my lip and nodded picking out a card. It read Joy. I closed my eyes and stretched my mind out toward the girl sitting across from me and I could feel her apprehension mixed with excitement. I relaxed and started to send joy towards her I heard her gasp but it was to late I was to far gone. I heard her suddenly go "Yahoo!" I opened my eyes and saw her wriggling in her seat her face full of exhuberence and joy. I giggled smiling then I drew it back slowly bit by bit until she was still wriggling but I had no influence. "That was so fun!" She smiled happily. I nodded in agreement. "Oh by the way I'm Fawn." She said holding out her hand. "Cat." I replied shaking it. "Ready to go again?" She asked. I nodded and picked out another card. Maybe Jessica was right maybe I could control what I did.
"You are without a doubt, the worst pirate I've ever heard of."
Suddenly he heard a joious yell. He decided to investigate, since he couldn't find himself a target for a prank. Looking into the glass before him, he saw a couple girls shaking hands. His heart fluttered warmly. Finally he found some girls to observe. While maintaining his invisible state, he tapped into his mind-reading power to pry into their heads. One of them was Fawn, the other was Cataluna. The latter likes to be called either Cat or Luna. At this, Arthur smiled. His grandmother's name was Luna. He pried deeper into Luna's mind, but doing so gently in order to keep her from knowing he was there. Suddenly he found something he never thought he could find. Luna's a Wiccan! Arthur's pendant grew hot under his shirt. He whispered kindly, "Luna, I'm one of you."
Look down and show some mercy if you can. Look down, look down, upon your fellow man.
Cataluna Zara I jumped a little bit when I heard Arthur's voice come out of nowhere but then smiled once I realized what he was saying. "It's always nice to meet a fellow witch." I whispered soft enough so that Fawn wouldn't hear. "Hmmm?" Fawn asked looking up from her phone. "Nothing Fawn." I said smiling gently. I sat back in my chair. I looked at the card I had picked out. 'Wrath.' I blanched suddenly and tried to put it back. "Cataluna what are you doing?" I heard Jessica say. I turned towards her quickly composing my face. "Please I can't do this." I begged holding out the card. Jessica sighed and then shook her head. "Fine. Fawn can work with Ashe you can work on your psychokinesis." She snapped. Fawn got up and looked at me sadly. I shook my head slightly in reply and she walked away. Jessica set a box with buttons in front of me. "Try to move the buttons into piles according to color." She snapped.I nodded grateful I was able to stop. She walked away and I closed my eyes sighing deeply.
"You are without a doubt, the worst pirate I've ever heard of."
I blushed when Luna called me a fellow witch. I should've known my grandmother saw Luna in her vision and enrolled me here because of that. When Luna pulled the card called Wrath, I shivered at first. Wrath was not a good thing for someone of Luna's caliber. I pitied her right then. My pendant went cold. Someone was coming my way. I looked around and saw Asher. I took a few steps away from his left so he won't run into me. Although I'm unseen by any kind of eye, I was still solid. I never picked on Asher ever since I first saw him. I kept my pranks away from him to give him the deepest respect I can offer. After Asher passed me, I turned my attention to Luna. Her power of emotions and psychokinesis made her fantastic in my eyes. I whispered, "Care to join me in my room? I can show you what kind of power I'm capable of."
Look down and show some mercy if you can. Look down, look down, upon your fellow man.
Cataluna Zara I nodded slightly when Arthur invited me to his room then I bit my lip. 'Now how to get out of testing?' I mused to myself then it hit me. I fluttered my eyelashes and 'fainted'. "Oh my God! CAT!!" I heard Fawn yell. "O-oh what?" I murmured fluttering my eyes open and saw a semicircle of people around me. "Are you ok?" Jessica asked helping me sit up. I nodded. "C-can I go back to the house and lie down?" I asked getting up pretending to shake. "Of course." She said nodding to the door. I smiled weakly at her and walked out the door. I got in the house then it hit me. I had no idea where Arthur's room was. "Arthur where the hell is your room?" I muttered. Then speak of the devil he appeared in front of me. I widened my eyes in surprise. "You really need to give someone warning before you do that." I murmured to myself.
"You are without a doubt, the worst pirate I've ever heard of."
