Amulet of Altheaka - Mature (Sign-ups)
Amulet of Altheaka
(Rated Mature for violence, language and sexual content. No sex scenes, please)
You are a student at St. Benivere's Boarding School, a correctional facility for troublesome students. You've just recently been enrolled, and you're not exactly eager to see your new temporary home. Despite what you thought, it's built on a beautiful campus with a lake, forest, and even a mountain or two. Plus, the teachers are all stuffed shirts, and it'll be great fun playing pranks on them.
One night, you are out exploring the woods because you've heard a rumor about the existence of a gigantic hollow tree, which would be ideal for storing items that would otherwise be confiscated, and for lying low when the heat's up. After a few hours of searching, without any success, you begin back in the direction of the school. However, before you can leave the forest, you are greeted with a strange sight.
The first four students that arrive at the wooded glade are greeted by the sight of four beautiful people in strange clothing, hunched over on the ground. They appear to be fatally wounded, but despite the profuse amounts of blood, they are strangely calm. You make eye contact with one of them for what seems like an eternity, then there is a bright flash of light, and they are gone. You hurry back to the dormitories, not sure what you've just witnessed.
The second group, having seen the bright flash, arrives at the same spot a few minutes later. There is nothing there now, but for a few spots of blood on the grass. However, you get an ominous feeling, and the glade seems darker than the rest of the forest. You rush back to the school, anxious to get back indoors, where it's safe.
The next day, you awaken to find that all is not as it should be. You've changed and quite drastically. If you were one of the students to see the Elves, then you've become the one whom you made eye contact with. If you were one of the ones to show up afterward, then your body, while still human, is noticably demonic in nature.
As you go through your school day, the teachers accept your story that you are a late arrival to the school, but insist that you get registered at the office and acquire a copy of your scheduale. Eventually, one by one, you find that there are triggers that cause you to transform between your normal self, and the wholly new one.
In your dreams that night, you are contacted by either the elve or demon whose appearence you've taken on. They tell you that they are from another realm called Arudynae, and are seeking a sacred artifact that lies in the school, so that they may use it either to destroy the portal between the two worlds or open it up as wide as can be. It appears that you've become their vessel, as they're too weak to be able to use bodies of their own. Instead they guide you, telling you how to summon and use your new powers. They also tell you that there are enemies in the school, and that it is your job to stop them before they can get the artifact.
And so you embark on a quest to keep up with your dual set of classes, ensure that the teachers and students don't notice that you're really two people, and save/destroy the world. Hey, no one said High School was easy.
Ok. Right off the bat, I want to say that, unless you are going to be commited to this RPG, don't post/reserve. By committed, I mean that you'll be able to, and actually will post once a week, bare minimum. Even if it's a tiddler of an RPG post, just put something out. I'll accept absences involving a lack of Interweb access, but for Chrissake, tell me beforehand. If your excuse is of the "Too... much... work..." variety, tough. Throw a post together in your spare moments.
Now, with that out of the way, let me say that this is a pretty free form RPG. It's supposed to be a comedy, so unlikely plot twists are all right, and even encouraged, as long as they don't outright contradict the game's world. You can be as outlandish as you like.
Pure Powers (Elve Only):
Light - The ability to manipulate, well, light. Also involved in healing, it's a power that can help to rejuvinate people emotionally: Katherine Tenko (VirtualPlay)
Wind - Control over the air itself. Be imaginative: Drew Ruehide (Krystalline Kabutops)
Water - Since water is a component of pretty much every living thing, the ability to control it can come in handy: Nixie Tempest (Asilynne)
Plants - Probably the most versatile Pure Power, you can do almost anything with plants, ranging from offensive to defensive: Mashio Kouhei (EngiMatikul)
Tainted Powers (Demon Only):
Darkness - The opposite of light. Involves poisons and negative emotions: Kyrie McKraye (Bulbasaur4)
Earth - This is almost as versatile as plants, except that rocks generally can't heal you: Naomi Wildfire (classy_cat18)
Fire - The most destructive power. Play with fire, and you're bound to get burned: Maura Banks (Nabooru23)
Animals - Complete control over animals. Use them as spies, minions, whatever: Arcadia DeVille (Tokyo Magnum)
Now, onto the Sign-ups! Take note, you are really playing two characters - your Elve/Demon, and a student.

Appearence: Pretty self-explanatory... I'm sure you all know the drill.

Normal to Power Trigger: What causes you to transform into an elve/demon?
Power to Normal Trigger: What changes you back?

Elve/Demon
Name: Try to think of something mythically flavored.
Race: Elve or Demon.

Power: Elves have pure powers, Demons have Tainted ones. Only one person per power.
Other: No lethality.
I don't think I forgot anything... Well, at any rate, I'll get my own form up tommorrow. I need sleep x_x;
My characters!
Student
~Name: Drew Ruehide
~Gender: Male
~Age: 17
~Appearence: Drew is five foot nine, with a thin, lanky build that indicates his gymnastic ability. His hair is dyed black, with flecks of brown showing through a few areas, and extands down just past his ears. His eyes are a light shade of gray, and have perpetual shadows under them. He's very pale, and no matter how much time he spends out in the sun, he can never get a tan or, failing that, even a sunburn. He wears sandals and black-and-red cargo shorts, of the baggy sort that extend down past the knees and have more pockets than you can count using all your fingers and toes. For a shirt, hwe wears a white, long-sleeved one under a black, short-sleeved shirt covered with macbre imagery (Skulls, entrails, large amounts of blood). To finish it off, he wears a black scarve on his head, leaving only his bangs poking out.
~Personality: Drew is what most people would call a freak. He's sometimes melancholy and moping, but usually lively and smartassed. Everyone's a target for a joke (And anyone but his friends is a fair prank target, too), and his antics get him in trouble a fair amount of the time. Highly nonsensical at first glance, he's always plotting. However, in his transformed state, he's very vulnerable. He's not used to possessing a female body, and so has no idea when someone's taking advantage of his ignorance. He's very prone to mood swings as Evalynne.
~Relationships: Drew is friends with Maura, because they share the same look (And because Maura's the only person who can get Drew to be serious).
~Normal to Power Trigger: Drew gains Evalynne's body whenever he yawns, which is a lot, seeing that he doesn't think too highly of education.
~Power to Normal Trigger: Drew changes back to himself when someone yanks out one of the long, purple hairs that Evalynne possesses.
~Word: Canberra (Austrailian capital :3)
~Other: His favorite country's Australia, because of all the deadly little beasties that live there. He's also good at using various accents.
Elve/Demon
~Name: Evalynne "Brown" (The last name is what Drew adds when he's in her form during the school day)
~Race: Elve
~Apparent Age: 17
~Gender: Female
~Appearence: Like this when she's in battle, but during the normal school day she wears her hair with a black scrunchie such that it all comes together at the back of her head, giving her a long pony-tail that, for some people at least, is irresistable to tug on. It's a style that (somehow) manages to hide the points of her ears (which are both pierced at the earlobe). As to her clothes, she wears a typical school-girl uniform during the day, with a blue pleated skirt that comes down to her mid-thigh, and a tight, white, button-up, collared, short-sleeve shirt with a lavender tie. Oh yes, and she wears those black dress shoes that most schoolgirls wear as well.
HOWEVER, once she (finally) procures a pass to wear whatever the hell she wants (If you're not wearing some sort of school uniform, you need one of these), her attire changes dramatically. She swaps her button-up shirt and tie for a black halter-top (It's tight too... she can't find any shirts that aren't xX; ) with Invader Zim on the front. In place of her blue skirt she has black, ripped-and-repaired capris, and to replace her dress shoes she has black platform boots (No, not the sixties kind, the kind that you can find at Hot Topic!). She even puts her hair down (Although she uses a special pair of earrings to keep her eartips in her hair).
~Personality: She's very wise, but has no patience with Drew, and his lamentations about now having to attend dance class. She is determined to get the Amulet of Altheaka before the demons do, so that she may finally seal the portal between the two worlds. Although she does have a soft side, she doesn't display it often, as she's constantly having to kick Drew into gear.
~Power: Wind
~Other: *Starts playing airball with other*

Seriously though... Maura (pronounced Mah-ruh) Banks
Also tends to be hyperactive, possibly with ADHD. His hobbies include burning things, setting people's hair on fire, drinking (he likes to hide boose), dancing like an idiot, and chasing squirrels and other such small animals. Don't ask.
