[ ETC ]
Personal History: Reno was abandoned as a young child by his parents shortly after they realized there was something different about him. At the age of seven, he was running the streets, pushing drugs for older people to earn money for food. In and out of orphanages his whole life, he earned his "tattoos" at the ripe age of 14 by a dealer he pissed off one too many times. He had the scars tattoo'd over so that he could properly call them as such. He picked up many bad habits on the street, including selling himself to earn a little food or shelter, smoking like a chimney and drinking to make everything disappear. However, in all of this, he has been loyal to those he deems worthy of his time. Shortly after his 17th birthday, he heard of the institute but he denied anything was special about him, despite his many episodes throughout his life. He ran from the authority until one day, he realized he could control it and wanted to learn how to better do so. On his 19th birthday, he enlisted himself in the institute, effectively erasing himself from the society he used to rule. He has been in the school for 3 years now and though his habits of running the streets have faded, he is still a foul mouthed smoker with a taste for a good, cold drink.
Extra: Anyone who would like to set up a relationship with Reno is more than welcome to contact me about it.

[ SAMPLES ]
Role Play Sample: (Oh Sar. You are lucky ilu.)

Reno walked slowly up the steps of the building, a bag of his possessions slung over his shoulder and a smoke dangling from his lips. Taking one last drag, he dropped it on the ground and stomped it out. He exhaled slowly before moving forward through the doors and into a world he finally belonged in.

"Can I help you?"

Reno looked up and grinned at the young woman who had addressed him. He could tell that this was going to be a good day already. He made his way over to her, stopping just in front of her and making no move to hide his obvious interest in her.

"I hope you can, ma'am. You see, I've got this itch.."

And that was the first time he realized that he should make sure people couldn't move things with their minds before hitting on them.

Journal Sample:

I don't want to keep this damn thing. Fucking stupid journal. But I was told it'll help me keep track of when I leave my fucking body and do stupid shit to others. I think its funny as hell but the staff thinks I should take this shit more seriously. Whatever.

Today, I astral'd about the school, scaring the shit out of people in the bathrooms or who were studying something or other. I would just appear in front of them til they realized I was standing right the fuck there and they screamed like little bitches. I laughed so hard.

I got in trouble though. They said that I need to knock that shit off or they were going to throw me out. So I said sorry (haha yeah right) and went back to my room. What the fuck good is having these powers if I can't have some fucking fun? Assholes.

Birth Name: Zell Dincht
Nicknames: Zelly, Chicken Wuss
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: White
Psychic Ability: Psychokinesis
How long have they been at the Institute? Two years.

[ APPEARANCE ]
Height: 5'9''
Weight: 180 lbs.
Hair Color: Blonde
Eye Color: Blue
Defining Traits: Facial tattoo
Clothing Styles/Colors: Baggy, "hip"
Other: Always wears fingerless gloves with knuckle guards.

Astrological Sign & Birthday: March 15th, Pisces
Sexual Orientation: Straight arrow
Positive Traits: Is totally loyal, very friendly, smart.
Negative Traits: Hot-headed, eager to get into fights, a bit naive sometimes.

[ ETC ]
Personal History: Zell was adopted at a very young age by the Dinchts, after his birth parents abandoned him as a baby for unknown reasons. His innate abilities began to manifest when he was around 12, after he got into a fight with a school bully easily beating him by literally pulling the young man into his fist when he was trying to run away. His parents encouraged suppressing his power so as not to alarm people, and instead had him focusing on his fighting abilities. After several years of watching Zell become increasingly agitated and worrying about avoiding an incident when he was at college, away from his parents' influence, they asked him to attend the institute they had heard about. He has been there two years now and couldn't be happier as long as he has an outlet for both his powers and his fighting tendencies.
Extra: No extras at this time.

[ SAMPLES ]
Role Play Sample: Zell kicked around the hallways of the institute, noticeably agitated that day. There wasn't a soul in sight, and Zell was finding himself more than a little bored. He wandered outside, found a bench to plant himself on and slipped on his headphones.

"Did everyone leave today without letting me know? Where he hell is everybody?"

The feeling of seclusion was more than enough to bear for him, and before long he retreated to his room to pound away his frustrations on his punching bag. Suddenly, his phone rang.

"Hello? Mom! Yeah, I'm happy to hear from you. Did Dad get his birthday present? Awesome!"

Journal Sample: I'm getting better at controlling this thing. I was practicing picking stuff up around my room, and I didn't break anything this time. I guess this place is actually doing something for me. I don't like being away from home for so long. I miss my friends a lot. It's okay, though.

I've been wondering a lot about whether or not I can start to make other people or myself float, too. That would be pretty cool, I think I'm going to work harder. I can imagine the look on people's faces. I don't wanna get in trouble again, though.

I'm pretty hungry, so I guess I'm going to go find something to eat, maybe work out a bit more. I've been pretty lazy today, even though my headache would say otherwise.

Eye Color: Auburn
Defining Traits: Nothing really to set her out in a crowd other then maybe her long hair
Clothing Styles/Colors: Very tomboyish. Wears comfortable clothing that most often hides her body. She didn’t have a mother growing up and so she took on her tomboyish ways before coming to the school and has stuck with them sense.

Positive Traits: Caring, motherly, kind, unselfish, strong
Negative Traits: Stubborn, does have a temper

[ ETC ]
Personal History: Tifa had a normal happy childhood until the age of 6 when her mother past away from an illness leaving Tifa with only her father to raise her. It was during that emotional turmoil when Tifa was trying to understand what happened to her mother and why when her abilities appeared. Tifa’s father was freaked out when he first realized something was different about his daughter and didn’t know what to do with her. It took him a couple of weeks of intense research and some tests with Tifa to come to the realization that his daughter might be a telepath. After that realization Tifa’s father became supportive of Tifa and her ‘gift’ often encouraging her to make it stronger but only when she was at home and never with friends or at school. He didn’t know how others would react. At the age of 14 Tifa and her father seemed to have reached a barrier that they couldn’t past with any kinds of test or research so Tifa’s father set out on finding someone who could help Tifa and that is when he came upon Cid’s institute. It only took a few phone calls and Tifa was on her way to the institute. Tifa has been happy at the institute, finally able to show others her ability and no longer having to hide them, and has to think Cid as a second father.
Tifa stayed at the institute after high school to help the younger students that seem to be flowing in as she has no real drive to get a higher education other then bartending school (yet). She currently works part time at a bar as a bartender but thoughts of opening her own business has been slowly seeping into her mind.
Extra: Nothing as of right now. I would like to set up background relationships with other people that have been at the Institute though. Tifa needs a best friend!

[ SAMPLES ]
Role Play Sample:
Tifa was in the kitchen. it was her most favourite place in the whole institute and loved filling it with good cooking and baking smells, and was currently icing some vanilla and chocolate cupcakes. There were about 5 dozens cupcakes sitting on the counter cooling and she had plans to ice them all. Of course she had made lots with the amount of people at the institute but even then she silently thought she maybe gotten a little carried away this time.

Humming a simple tune as she tried to get more icing on the cupcakes and not her hands Tifa was not prepared for the intense sharp pain that flared in her brain causing her to drop the cupcake and knife, her hands going instantly to her temples as a groan escape past her lips.

“Shit…” not one to swear Tifa couldn’t help herself as the pain continued to build. It felt like her brain was going to explode and it seemed like there was nothing she could do about it. Being a telepath Tifa was use to the occasional headache or migraine but she had never had anything like this before.

Just as she was about to reach out to the nearest mind for help the pain was suddenly gone leaving the brunette shaking, panting softly, and wondering what the hell just happened.

Journal Sample:
I received a letter from my father today. I don’t know how many times I have told him to get an email address and just email me. It would be a lot quicker and we would save money on the stamps but my father is stubborn and likes doing it the old fashion way. I guess I know where I get my stubbornness from.

It seems that he has found a girlfriend or at least he has gone out with the same women more then twice. I am happy for him knowing having someone in his life would be good for him. Maybe when I see him next he won’t look so sad like he has all of my life. If she can make him smile with his eyes then I will approve of her.

I think I need to bake. Fill this place with good yummy smells. Let’s hope there is enough ingredients for the cupcakes I am going to bake.

[ ETC ]
Personal History: Squall had a terrible childhood. From an early age all he could remember of his parents were that they were drunks and when he upset either of them his father would hit him. It only got worse around the age of 13 when Squall started to know things he shouldn’t just by touching them. His mother was soon scared of him and his father was even meaner. After a stay in the hospital from a bad beating Squall ran from home no longer able to stay in such a place. Squall soon started to go by the name Leon and about a year on the street Squall stumbled upon a rumor that someone was opening a place for people with special gifts. After looking into it Squall decided it was the place he wanted to go and soon he enrolled himself at Cid’s institute. He has been there ever since.
Leon stayed on at the school to help Cid out thinking of Cid as a father and Leon feels safe at the school. Enjoy working with the kids, even if they get on his nerves sometimes, Leon does have a second job as a bouncer at the same bar that Tifa works at. Leon actual got Tifa her bartending job when she was of age.
Extra: Squall goes by Leon. Best friend is needed.

[ SAMPLES ]
Role Play Sample:
Leon knew what he was doing was a bad idea, that the kids looked up to him and would want to do what he was doing, but at that moment he didn’t care. Taking a long drag of his smoke Leon relaxed against the bricks that made up the institute letting the rain come down on him completely ignoring it. It had been a bad morning for Leon, it was just past 1:00pm, and it was the first time he was able to get away for a smoke.

Leon heard footsteps coming closer he prayed to what ever higher being that was above that they would just continue to walk and not stop and talk to him. Leon was not in a good mood to talk. Not that he ever liked to talk.

Journal Sample:

Smoking is bad. Do not smoke. Just because someone else is smoking does not mean you have to smoke.

I don’t know what else I am supposed to put here. Anyone that has ever met me would know I don’t like to speak so why would I write?

Whatever...

Sexual Orientation: Mainly straight.
Positive Traits: Determined, intuitive, passionate, magnetic, honest, good-humored.
Negative Traits: Jealous, restless, compulsive, secretive.

[ ETC ]
Personal History: On November 22, 1989, Paine was born into this world in a small city hospital. Her mother and father weren't wealthy but they managed all the same. She lived a relatively normal, happy childhood. She had many little friends and was often running about for morning til night when she could. Around the age of 7, she started realizing that when she touched things, she sometimes saw events that happened later on in the day/week. She never told anyone due to a fear that she would be taken away. The day after her 10th birthday, she had a vision as she was getting in the car. She screamed and pleaded with her parents to not drive anywhere that day, that she didn't want to go but they just ignored it as the rantings of an angry child.

That day, there was a terrible accident and when Paine was discovered (the only survivor), all she would say was, "I saw it and they didn't listen." Thus started her life at the Institute. After given a clean bill of health, she was taken in and enrolled into the program to help her control her powers and better handle the situations that she sees. She didn't remember much of her life before the school, if any at all. The school deemed the 23rd her birthday since it was almost like a rebirth for her, losing her memories and all that.

She's made a few friends (yes, you can set something up with me) in her time here and doesn't plan on leaving unless she needs to. She aspires to be able to help others control their powers much like herself.

Extra: She has a bit of an accent but nothing thick enough to not understand.

[ SAMPLES ]
Role Play Sample: Paine walked slowly about her room, soft music playing in the background as she contemplated the meaning of her most recent vision. There was a flash of blond and giggling. That was it. Normally, there was a face, important details. Not this time and for some odd reason, it was from touching a doorknob. Such a confusing, trifling thing, that was. She had been working hard recently, couldn't she have had a better vision.

She growled in frustration and plopped down on her bed. She ran a hand through her short hair and sighed. All this thinking was giving her a headache. Reaching for her journal, she noted down the date and vision. Then, she tossed it aside and picked up her book and drifted off into a world of pretend.

Journal Sample: This thing is absolutely pointless. I have a journal for my visions, why do I even need this one? I suppose to keep in touch with people and their lives. Or something.

I had a weird dream last night that involved a nun smoking in a church and Wolverine coming by and yelling at her. I'm not entirely sure how that happened but it's okay.

I'm done with this for now.

(( she doesn't have a journal yet. not sure what I should make it. ))

Personal History: Roxas Bryce was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and raised by his grandmother, Amelia Bryce. He has no siblings that he knows of, since his mother left them when he was six months old. When he was 13 he suffered from a recurring nightmare where he was floating in space and suffocating. He’d regularly awake to find himself floating a foot above his bed, tangled in the bedding, before losing control and falling. At first his grandmother believed him to be possessed, but her search for an exorcist brought Roxas to the attention of Cid Kramer. After testing, Roxas was shown to be a latent psychokinetic, and moved to the Institute at the age of 14. Although he has never managed to consciously levitate himself since, Roxas has been trained successfully over the last two years to move small objects up to five pounds.

[ SAMPLES ]
Role Play Sample: Roxas sighed as he gathered up the last of his laundry and looked about the room. It seemed so empty since his last roommate quit the Institute and moved out. He dumped the armload of clothes in his hamper and ran a finger under his nose in thought. Hopefully Cid wouldn’t insist he sweep as well; if the new guy, whoever he was, couldn’t handle a few dust bunnies under his bed, it was doubtful he’d long survive the craziness of Institute life.

Journal Sample: Nov. 10th, 2009. Brian’s stuff is all gone, shipped off back to his parent’s home, I guess. I’d like to say I’ll miss him, but it’s nice to have my own space again. Heck, I’ve been here two years, you’d think Cid would let me have my own room? How come more of the girls don’t have to double up? What's with that? Meh, I have a theory they’d probably kill each other if they did stick 'em all together.

Brian looked a little relieved to be leaving. I feel kinda bad for him that he couldn’t hack the pressure of constant psyche testing. I’ve been here a little longer than he was, so how come it hasn’t gotten to me? Maybe it’s because there isn’t anything better out there to go to?

Personal History:
Axel was born in the beginning of that magical time known as the nineties to a Japanese mother and an Irish father, in Oakville, Tennessee. He had a fairly normal childhood, happily basking in the fact that he was an only child to two very doting parents. And when he began having very brief visions of the immediate future when he was ten, his loving family doted on him still more, treating him as a miracle child. While he didn't get everything he wanted exactly when he wanted it, he was treated very well. So you can see why getting a vision of having a baby sister would alarm him a bit. It had come while he was walking home from school, a gangly twelve year old with high hopes and dreams of being a teenager. It came suddenly, as his visions always did, and was startlingly vibrant; his parents sitting on the couch in their living room, cooing over a baby girl dressed in a frilly pink garment. This wouldn't have been so bad if he hadn't noticed one other thing; himself, hovering in the doorway between kitchen and living room, half in the shadows and unnoticed, an ugly expression of hatred on his face. Despite being admittedly spoiled, it was the cruel look on his own face that upset Axel the most. Not wanting to become that person, he went home and begged his parents to send him away to school, claiming the need of a change of scenery. Baffled, they agreed to think about it, if a suitable school could be found.

That evening, as the family was all sitting down to dinner, someone knocked at the front door. When it was answered, a man introducing himself as Cid Kramer seemed to be the answer to Axel's silent pleas. As it turned out, he ran what he called an institute dedicated entirely to psychic research, and he was interested in Axel and his precognitive gift. Axel took a plane to California two weeks later and began his new, slightly scary life on the West Coast.
Extra: I'm looking for friends, enemies, frienimies, past relationships, casual fucks, ANYTHING for Axel's history.

[ SAMPLES ]
Role Play Sample:
Axel was bored. Absolutely hang-upsidedown-from-the-railings-just-because-it's-something-to-do bored. And that's what he was currently doing, because it was the only idea he'd had for hours. He was hanging there, hoping for someone he could bother would come along when the vision came. Short and spastic, all he could grasp was him, locked in the embrace of... someone. Someone smaller than him, but faceless. Surprised, his precarious balance was compromised and his legs unhooked from the railing and, with a yell, he fell seven feet to the floor, landing in a crumpled heap. And of course, it was just then that he heard very familiar footsteps approaching, and he heard a barely suppressed snort of laughter.

"Shut up and help me find all my teeth," he muttered, his good humor bruised but not broken as he accepted the hand that was offered to him.

Journal Sample:
Let me start by saying that, despite being here for like... six years... I still don't know what to write in this thing. Unless something interesting is happening. Which it isn't, I might add.

Work is going well. Mostly. It's... meh. I'm a waiter. Not much to say, really. It can be fun, but it can also be mind numbingly irritating. It might be better if I had my own place to take some of the potentials I meet back to. Not that I get a lot to begin with. Meh.

I want a baked potato. It's past midnight. The hell is that? Ugh, I have homework to do too. Forgot about that. Figures, the one time I totally don't want to think about school, I'm being forced to. Ain't that a bitch?

Lame.

[ ETC ]
Personal History:
Sora was born in Yokohama, Japan to a Japanese father and an American mother. His mother worked for the Hilton hotel as a hospitality intern on a study abroad trip at the time she had met Sora's father. He had been a frequent guest at the hotel due to his job as a translator. It was a whirlwind romance and when Sora's mother found out that she was pregnant, she had already ended her study and returned to California. Luckily for her, they decided to continue their relationship despite the distance. She told him the news when he had visited her for Christmas and on Christmas morning, the couple was engaged.

His father moved in with his mother within the following months and after Sora was born, she lost the baby weight and they had the wedding of the century. Sora's mother had always been well off and his father wasn't exactly poor either.

When his ability began to show, Sora was probably more scared than his parents. His parents actually took it in stride and enrolled him into the Institute so that he could get some help. He was grateful that they didn't disown him. The Brennan's loved their son unconditionally and were always looking out for his best interests. It's pretty safe to say that Sora is a spoiled only child but he doesn't let it get to his head. He remains humble and modest :D

Extra: None! IF YOU WANT CR WITH ME, PLEASE CONTACT MEEEEEEE :DDDDD

[ SAMPLES ]
Role Play Sample:
Sora didn't want to wake up. It was 6:30 in the morning and it was an ungodly hour to get up at. He was used to sleeping in but the first day of school was something he had been dreading for the longest time. He covered his head with his covers and comforter, groaning as his alarm went off for the second time after he pushed the snooze button. The soft melodies of the Japanese rock band B'z played through the speakers, only serving to make him sleepier than the previous song which had scared the living crap out of him.

He groaned and slowly just hit the alarm once more and finally sat up in his head, stifling a yawn with the back of his hand and then running a hand through his hair. Today was going to be an okay day.
At least he hoped it would.

Journal Sample:
Note to self: Take off all loud rock music off of the wake-up playlist or else you will have a heart attack before the age of 18.

I've been meaning to do that for the past 3 weeks but you know what? D: D:

I keep forgetting to >:

As much as I like the RADWIMPS, hearing them in the morning when I haven't adjusted the volume to the song is not a fun thing. ;______;

Personal History: Yuffie was born to Mitsuko Kisaragi and Douglas Firdale in Japan. When she was very young her father left to go home to America, and Mitsuko was left to raise her daughter in her birth village, which housed many who practiced ninjitsu. As Yuffie grew up, she was found to be an exceptional ninja, due in part to her innate "hearing" abilities, which the village elders taught her were blessings. She could hear things that no one else could hear, be it someone's whisper, heartbeat, or the voices of spirits themselves. She made a decision to attend the Institute in an effort to hone her skills and further her training.

Role Play Sample: (at least one paragraph, in character)

Yuffie turned the corner in the hallway, rushing between classes. It was her first day and she still didn't have a good lay of the land in the Institute, and the sprawling hallways could be a bit puzzling.

"God dammit, I wish I'd brought a map or something..."

She passed numerous crowds of other students, but her grouchy mood prevented her from approaching anybody for their help.

Journal Sample: (a couple quick paragraphs, in character)

Mother sent me another e-mail today. Gone two days, and she's already sending me weepy messages. I miss her and everyone else too but I think she needs to learn that I can take care of myself.
Hopefully during a class break I can go back for a visit. Right now I really need to focus my mind here.
Also, Mastadon's on tour again. How awesome is that?!

Birth Name: Naminé DeWitt

Age: 15
Gender: Girly
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Psychic Ability: Limited Telepathy; When physically touching someone, Naminé can read (see from their perspective) their memories. She has not been able to do this without physical touch so far, nor has she been able to read thoughts - only recorded experiences.
How long have they been at the Institute? Two weeks. Meet the new girl.

Height: 5'5"
Weight: 102 lbs.
Hair Color: Blonde
Eye Color: Blue
Defining Traits: None so far!
Clothing Styles/Colors: Simple and clean. Naminé prefers light colours, pastels, and simple, feminine patterns. She occasionally wears pants.
Other: Namine is seldom without a silver and aquamarine pendant that she believes belonged to her mother.

[ PERSONALITY ]
General Likes: Drawing and painting, reading, daydreaming, tea.
General Dislikes: Loud music, foul language, bad attitudes, coffee.
Astrological Sign & Birthday: Pisces: March 10th
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Positive Traits: Kind, intelligent, loyal to those she cares about.
Negative Traits: Distant, clumsy, easily distracted, and unconfident.

[ ETC ]
Personal History: Naminé is not one to speak at length about her past. In truth, a good portion of her history remains a mystery to her. Naminé was born to Thomas and Cassandra DeWitt in Pacific, Washington. Naminé's unique ability to experience the memories of others has been more of a curse than it has a gift. Without a full understanding of her abilities, or the knowledge of how to control them, Naminé has unwittingly created a patchwork memory comprised of not only her own memories, but of those of nearly every person she's touched in the last several years of her life. This caused no shortage of confusion for the poor girl, and for her parents; with psychologists unable to properly diagnose her, they eventually placed Naminé in a psychiatric institution for youth. Her year-long stay ended when her parents died in a car crash, and her new custodian, an aunt she had only met a handful of times, withdrew her from care. Her aunt, a nurse by the name of Claudia, tried to help Naminé to adapt to a more normal life, but being a working single-mother with three kids of her own to look after, quickly grew disheartened with the girl's disconnect from the world around her. Her research into alternative healing care facilities eventually lead her to Cid Kramer's Institute for Psychic Research. During their initial meeting, Naminé took to Cid in a way her aunt hadn't see her react to anyone. Naminé was enrolled just a couple of weeks later, and recently moved into the facility, with hopes of putting together the pieces and coming to terms with her gift. The engaging environment and newfound understanding of her own psyche has warmed Naminé's disposition substantially, though she is still prone to skittishness.

[ SAMPLES ]
Role Play Sample: (at least one paragraph, in character)

Naminé stepped hesitantly through the open door of the dorm room, her eyes scanning the room for any signs of life. Along with the standard bedroom furniture there were a number of knickknacks, including an alarm clock, a poster on the wall, and a few books on the lone bookshelf which suggested that someone inhabited the room - or at least that someone had, recently. The meek blonde stepped gingerly as she approached one of the room's two beds, as if she was worried she might wake the room's seemingly absent tenant. She placed her luggage down on the folded covers, then sat down next to it, pleasantly surprised by the mattress's softness. While she still worried about how her new home would compare to the last institute she'd been sent to, she was at least optimistic that she'd sleep comfortably. Unless, of course, her new roommate was a snorer. She glanced again around the room for indications that the room was being used. Sure enough, she saw a closet, now, previously hidden to her behind the door. The closet was all but closed, but from the crack left open Naminé could see clothes hanging and an assortment of possessions piled on the floor. The closet doors themselves appeared ready to burst out should anything more be added; her new roommate must have hurried to clean up upon hearing they'd soon be sharing their space. She bit down gently on her bottom lip, nervous. She hoped they would get along; the last thing she wanted to do was make anyone else's stay harder. She looked up at the poster on the wall, and a blond-haired boy appeared to stare back at her. Who the heck was Jesse McCartney? She'd have to get caught up on pop culture if she was going to make conversation with her peers. Her stomach tied itself in a knot at the thought. Brushing aside the thought, Naminé stood up and unzipped her suitcase. She had just begun to pull out some clothes when the sound of someone at the door clearing their throat made her jump. She turned around promptly to greet the stranger.

"Hello," she said sheepishly, brushing her long blonde bangs out of her eyes, "I hope I'm not intruding..."

Journal Sample: (a couple quick paragraphs, in character)

A fresh start... that's what Aunty Claudia called it. And I suppose she's right. Hard to get much fresher than moving alone to a different state. Hard to get much scarier, too. Everyone I've met has seemed nice enough, but... I still feel like everyone is trying to figure me out. Nobody's asked "What's your deal?" yet, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time. I'm sure things can't be that much different here. Nicer beds, better lighting, food that doesn't taste like gravel, but the purpose is the same. Fix the broken people. Help the lost children find their way home.

I don't mean to complain. A lot of people have it worse than me, I know. Still, I can't help but envy the normal kids. The kids whose biggest worries are who's going to ask them to prom, and whether they're going to pass finals. The kinds of kids I'll be going to class with all too soon. I hope I'm ready for all that. I hope I won't stand out as being a year a year behind. I hope I'll be able to blend into the crowd long enough to survive high school.

I hope I won't always be a freak.

[ ETC ]
Personal History: Cloud was born and raised in New York City by an artist father and an interior designer mother. It was the boho life for him right from babyhood, learning things about art, music and upholstery that most young boys would never even think about. Ever. When he was eight he started having his 'visions'. His cousin went missing, and Cloud, who was drawing with crayons at the time, suddenly lost control of his hand. He was confused and frightened, but he couldn't stop drawing until the picture was finished. The picture of a little boy, crudely drawn, laying underneath the classic child's interpretation of a tree. Not an hour later, the Strife family got a phone call, with the news that Cloud's cousin had been found. Asleep, under a tree in Central Park. Cloud's parents were thrilled that their child was gifted, and would show him off whenever they had the chance. Of course, some people weren't as open to the little boy's gift as his family was, and by the time he started high school, he was vastly unpopular. Quiet and moody most of the time, he was suspended more than once for his attitude, and eventually expelled, being labeled as a problem student. Distraught, his doting parents started researching other schools, and through pure luck stumbled upon the website for Cid's Institute for Psychic Research. This, it seemed, was just the answer they had been looking for. Not only was it a new school with new people who wouldn't know Cloud's history, but he would also be around people like him, who could help him. So Cloud's things were packed, and he made the move to California when he was seventeen, just in time for his senior year of high school. He graduated with no issues at Claremont High School, and continued to live at the Institute, not willing to leave the comforting, accepting environment.
Extra: His name is Cloud, he has a sword. He fights Cactuars because he's bored. He likes to ride on chocabos. It's better than having afros.

Role Play Sample:
The sun was setting when Cloud turned up the long driveway leading to the Institute, his motorcycle rumbling and roaring like a metal beast as he steered it toward the garage. He climbed off his bike and opened the garage door, wincing at the sound of old metal hinges squeaking loudly as they pulled the heavy door up. As always, it was a bit tricky finding space, as large as the garage was, due to all the vehicles piled inside.

Sighing, Cloud pulled his sunglasses off, hooking them over the neck of his shirt before turning back to his bike. "Looks like I'm parking in the driveway again," he muttered to himself, pushing the motorcycle toward his usual spot, well in the shade of a few trees. Not paying much attention, he didn't notice the person in his path until he nearly ran them over. Balking, he yanked his bike back a few feet.

"Geeze, sorry! Didn't see you. Man, you always stand half in the shadows like that? You're gonna get hurt one day..."

Journal Sample:

Got put in charge of helping some of the new kids with testing today. Man, was I that quiet and shy when I first showed up? Or that short? Nah, couldn't have been. It wasn't that long ago. Still... feels like forever.

Cid gave us our 'chores' for the week. Looks like I'm tackling the grocery shopping tomorrow. Great. The least favorite job. Somebody always has some complaint, and then I feel bad. Oh well. I'll just have to stick to the list, and not let anybody try to sway me.

No new drawings. It's been awhile. I hope that's a good thing.
