Hm. I did a little research, and it would seem that Waverider was a good guy. Okay, how about Orelia is the ancestor of Dark Waverider (D-day series)who purposefully killed Superman (legacy of superman number one). is that okay? I would like her to be evil.

Dreamy, your character doesn't have to be the same alignment as the ancestor. So Orelia can be evil whether she's the descendant of Waverider, Dark Waverider, Batman, Mr Potato-Head, whoever. :P

oh, good. see ,but i really wanted her to take that anti-villainy class.... so i just revised my character profile a bit. She is now the ancestor of Dark Waverider, nothing else at all has changed. Is that okay? It would also open some conflict between her and the principle, if need be.

*shrugs* Either way. The class takes both villain-descendants and people who behave like villains. Doesn't really matter, lol.

Name: Alicia Foley

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Ancestor(s): Josh Foley (Elixir). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elixir_(comics)

Home: England. (Moved from New York when younger). Until she was sent to the academy, of course.

Alliance: Neutral. Could easily swing either way, though.

Appearance: Around 5'5 with mousey hair cut short so it brushes the bottoms of her ears. Dark blue eyes, which are quite wide. Occasionally wears glasses (although she'll be able to fix that as she powers up). Pretty curvy figure. Usually wears a slightly bland outfit of jeans and shirt, which she brightens with an array of hats and scarves.

Personality: Pretty naive, with an optimistic outlook that is usually, well, wrong. She's not really aware of what impact her power could have on her and her life. However, she does know that her life before the academy was quite a boring one, and one that she felt like she was stuck in. Alicia isn't one who is desperate to be a non-conformist, she just dislikes mundaneness; 'normal' life for her was boring, and she disliked it, despite her usual happy persona. She's of average intelligence, except when it comes to technology when she's above par.

Abilities: Biological Manipulation.
Level 0: Can take the pain away from minor injuries and aches. Doesn't heal them, though.
Level 1: Can speed up the healing process of minor cuts and bruises. That is, the time it would take them to heal is halved or, in very minor cases, even shorter time then that.
Level 2: Healing time is shortened considerably and she can begin to heal worse injuries. (But still only flesh wounds, etc. Cannot heal diseases or things like bad eyesight.)
Level 3: Can begin to heal her own body, but only to the extent that she can heal others.
Level 4: Healing time is shortened to instant for easy cases. Most flesh wounds can now be healed, with varying time taken for more difficult cases.
Level 5: Can heal illnesses and diseases.
Level 6: Can heal things such as bad eyesight and other deformities that may have been genetic or there since birth.
Level 7: Can now use her power as an offensive tool. Can create painful rashes etc. on an enemies' skin.
Level 8: As an offensive tool, the power is now more refined and she can begin to use it to really harm her enemies. She can stop their limbs working for a short period of time, and give them serious pains throughout their bodies.
Level 9: Can now give people diseases and suchlike with her disease. (Doing this, however, causes her some damage. She can get dizzy, and in serious cases she blacks out for a time.)
Level 10: Can actually kill people with her power by shutting down their vital organs. Doing this will cause her some physical pain (not to mention mental discomfort.)

Item(s): Just a ring, which is said to have been passed down through the family. Alicia's not if that's true, but she wears it nontheless.

Classes:
Energy and Superpower Channelling.
Potions and Brews.
Tech Upgrades.

Other: Guess she's up for love.
Theme song: Expectations - Belle and Sebastian.

AquaMarine is approved (though she knew that already). Alicia's dorm until further notice is B3.

(skutter is still working on his profile, I believe. Try looking at Aqua's profile for reference. XD)

Approved, Elizabeth's dorm (until further notice) is B4.

And with that, enrolments for new students have closed. If we can start wrapping up the shenanigans that somehow occurred on the first day, we can then say that the rest of O-Week went by without any interesting things happening, and start classes.

The only profile to be accepted after this point will be skutter's, since he did submit his first draft before the deadline. I will need that within about a week, though, otherwise your character will probably miss too many classes. Again, other people's profiles may be of assistance. If you still are having trouble, shoot me or Nutty a PM.

I'll also fiddle with the dorms slightly, since some people are currently alone. And I've got a timetable made up, I'll post that and the class lists (that is, the list of which students are taking what classes) tomorrow. In any case, watch this space.

And I guess I should thank you all for persevering through the wall of text that was the intro to this whole thing, and for sticking with it thus far, and presumably for sticking with it in the future. XD

Are you also going to post a list of which dorms everyone is in? And I guess I'll go post soon, or tomorrow...or something.

When the dorms are shuffled would you like me to edit my post?

Nah, it's ok. My thoughts are basically that the Academy admins shuffled them around for whatever reasons, so it's more a case of the characters moving their stuff to another room.
