Artie Hughes

​

Name: Arthur Malcolm Hughes
Nickname: Artie | Art
Age: 11
Year: First Year
Blood Status: Half-Blood
Height: 4'8
Weight: 80 lbs
Appearance:

Artie is a frail and small boy, constantly making jokes about his own stature and "waiting on puberty" to set him straight. He has thick curly brown hair that is more often messy than tamed. Not that he minds really, his entire presence is fairly disheveled. His eyes and hair are both a dark brown and his facial expression seems to alternate between only two settings: a mischievous grin, or an expression of extreme confusion. His small stature, though a bit annoying in some aspects, lends well to keeping him nimble.

Clothing:

Despite being fairly disorganized, Artie dresses quite well. His assortment of button downs is a bit excessive for someone his age. He accompanies his tops with slacks or nice jeans, angering his mother whenever he dresses so nicely and yet still goes outside and plays recklessly. Being flashy and silly are also staples of Artie's wardrobe. One wouldn't be surprised to see him with a pair of bright sunglasses and some hat with a ridiculous slogan on it.

Personality:

To use one word to describe Artie, it would be insufferable. His inflated sense of self importance and hyperactive behavior creates a cocktail of annoying behavior. Growing up in a house full of rowdy boys, he's used to being a bit of a jerk and not caring about other's feelings. He tends to tease people relentlessly, not out of maliciousness but simply because it is how he interacts with others. In addition to this he is very talkative, not really catching onto social cues when people don't exactly want to talk to him. He feels that he's interesting enough, so everyone should want to speak with him.

Artie is also quite the mischievous boy. He often gets himself into trouble but that doesn't stop him from coming up with elaborate schemes and pranks. Although he couldn't be considered "book smart", he is pretty cunning. He has a bad habit of lying about nearly everything, even things that don't even warrant a lie. He functions best around people who are pushovers, and butts heads with those who aren't so quick to bend to his will. This isn't to say that Artie is violent, though. He isn't ignorant to his small stature and prefers to keep things non-physical. It's more likely that he insults one verbally and ducks out of physical confrontations.

Likes: outdoors | swimming | relaxing | dancing | teasing others | sweets | muggle media | cats | adventuring
Dislikes: sensitive people | school | Quidditch | reading | dogs | rain | tea | cowards | tattle-tales

Biography:

Artie is the second oldest of 5 boys in the Hughes family. Being that each child was separated by a year or two, the Hughes brothers are a very close and rowdy bunch. His parents, Darcy and Thomas Hughes, did their both to manage the crew. Thomas was a professional Quidditch Player though, leaving Darcy at home alone most days to watch over all 5 kids. A near impossible feat of course. They were all free to do as they pleased, running wild in the neighbor and tormenting not only each other but the other neighborhood kids.

Tradition in the Hughes family is very important. Despite the fact that they are not purebloods, they are notorious for taking their magical abilities very seriously. Starting at age 6, each child is sent to Charm School (a primary school designed to discuss the very basics of magic with the children). And then at age 8 they are given private Quidditch lessons. It was an easy way to keep the boys out of trouble and active but Artie was never really a fan of it. He much preferred making his own fun as opposed to being forced to learn about Quidditch and run around with the stupid quaffle in his hands.

Getting their letter to Hogwarts, though expected, always calls for great celebration in the Hughes household. So when Artie got his, he was overly excited to begin his journey at Hogwarts. All he wanted to know was what house he'd be sorted into.

Wes Valentin

​

Name: Wesley Ross Valentin
Nickname: Wes
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Role: The Prince

Face Claim: Timothee Chalamet
Eye Color: Hazel
Hair Color: Dark Brown
Height: 5'11
Weight: 160
Appearance:

Wes is on the tall and gangly end of the body shape spectrum. Although he carries himself with a confidence and swagger one would be hardpressed to notice the awkward length of his limbs. He usually has a polite but disinterested smile on his face, his hazel eyes distant and unfocused. He has no tattoos or piercings on his unblemished skin, and is fairly pale. So pale, in fact, that he's much more likely to burn than tan. His hair is shaggy and may have the appearance of being not cared for, however, Wes spends many precious minutes to get it to appear that way.

Clothing:

Wes wears what the stylists tell him to. He doesn't care much about the latest trends or what may be in, but he wears it anyway. Used to having photos randomly taken of him, he's made a habit out of always looking presentable and neat. The one thing he does have control over is the color. He much prefers muted colors. Ironically enough, he doesn't like to draw attention to himself although the thousand dollar belts he wears seem to say otherwise.

Personality:

Wes plays the young playboy role that he's meant to play. Never hesitating to flash a charming smile, he's quite the suave young man. It's as if he always knows what to say or how to get people to like him, perhaps that's what a lifetime of cameras in your face does to a person. You learn how to portray what people want to see. On the surface it's like Wes is good at everything. Naturally talented at anything he tries his hand at (aside from sports) and access to an immense amount of wealth allows him to receive whatever his heart could desire.

Although Wes always seems to have people around him, he never truly lets people close. Really he feels quite lonely. He's been playing the role of a player and lady killer for so long, he feels as if he's stuck that way. His charm, the charisma, the confidence, all an act. But he feels as if it's far too late for him to change now. He's grown so hollow inside that if he removes the mask, there may not be anything left inside of him. So instead, he carries on popping his pills and faking smiles for the cameras.

Likes: Candles | Sunsets | Skipping rocks | Wednesdays | Silence
Dislikes: Puns | Tight fit clothing | Alcohol | Messes | Drinking

Biography:

Wes is the only son of Melanie and Doyle Valentin. Yes, *the* Doyle Valentin. Two time Oscar winner and 8 time nominee. Wes has been in the spotlight for as he can remember. Surrounded by wealth and prestige, he was raised with a lifestyle many people envy. Never did he want for anything. In fact anything that he ever wanted, he received in excess. A new pair of shoes? Sure, Wesley take ten brand new. Things that would be foreign to anyone else were norms for him. He traveled the world with his father and mother so frequently that he didn't know what place to call home.

By age 11, Wes was already a paparazzi expert. Although there were periods of time where things were slow, Wes knew that once his father was back in the public eye then so was he. The countless marketing people who worked for Doyle taught Wes the works as well. When to smile, how to smile. Who to hang out. Who to be friends with. Where to hang out. Everything that he did was product placement for whatever company. Although initially it was overwhelming, he learned to shut everything out. It didn't matter how he felt on the outside, as long as everything looked fine from the outside.

School came easily to Wes. Though the boy wasn't naturally smart by any means, tutors were "always accessible" as his father would say. Toss money at any problem and it will go away. Even if that problem is your own son. Loneliness and neglect were two feelings that he got to know very well. So he used his perfectly crafted persona to attempt to fill these holes. He became Wesley Valentin, Doyle's playboy son. Surrounding himself with whoever and whatever would come his way. His money and charisma made it easy. Who wouldn't want to be Wes Valentin's friend?

It wasn't enough, though. Wearing a mask for so long only increased the depression he felt. There was only one thing he trusted to make him feel "alright". Wes turned to drugs late into his Junior year in highschool, hiding it from everyone. It wouldn't be difficult to put the pieces together, though. The already withdrawn boy was becoming more and more zombie-like by the day.

Elias Larsen

​

Name: Elias Clay Larsen
Nickname: Eli
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Homosexual

Face Claim: Tarjei Sandvik Moe
Eye Color: Green
Hair Color: Blonde
Height: 5'9
Weight: 145
Appearance:

Elias is of average size although he sometimes he wishes he was just a bit taller. He moves about with fairly aloof motions, his brain seeming always to be somewhere else. His friendliness is reflected in his face, a sweet smile always playing on his lips. A hat often covers his blonde hair, and his eyes though green are so dark that it's indistinguishable from brown unless he is in direct sunlight. He has a slight dimple in his left cheek. Other than this, Elias' most noticeable features are his slender hands. Still soft somehow, and almost always speckled with various colors of paint.

Clothing:

To put it simply, Elias dresses for comfort above all. Soft t-shirts, hoodies, and warm jackets are his entire wardrobe. He also has an odd penchant for tacky Christmas sweaters. At least they're cute, right? He isn't one to match colors or care about what he puts on outside of it being comfy. He also is the type to do what he calls a "sniff-and-go" test. If it's on the floor and it still smells fine, then he'll wear it. No use in wasting laundry detergent if it isn't all that dirty.

Personality:

Elias is a generally cheerful and loving person, always happy to put other's needs before his own. Being soft spoken and a bit shy, it can be easy for him to be a pushover to people's whims. When around large groups of people he gets overwhelmed, preferring to be on the fringes of the space as opposed to pushing himself into the spotlight of attention. Being with his friends helps him to be more comfortable, but he only truly feels comfortable when he's around his best friend. It is difficult for him to open up to people, which often leads him to push away people who may be good for him.

Being a very creative person, Elias tends to see the beauty in the mundane. Many people see him as naive, but he prefers optimism over pessimism. He believes that all people deserve a chance at redemption... maybe several chances. This is perhaps one of the main reasons people can walk all over him. Perhaps Elias is far to quick to forgive people who have wronged him.

Biography:

Growing up as an only child, Elias has always been a bit of a mamma's boy. Though his father was never outright hurtful, his aloof attitude towards his son distanced their relationship to the point of no repair. Growing up, the quiet boy struggled with making friends but for him one was enough. Him and his best friend were inseparable even from a young age. They spent countless hours together, the closeness and friendly love creating the perfect whirlwind within Elias. He found himself developing an impossible to act on crush, the obsession bordering on unhealthy. Over the years Elias has met new people, and made new friends (creating a close-knit group), but none of this did anything to shake the feelings he had.

Elias' love for art also started at quite the young age. He seemed to have a natural eye for not only identifying beauty but creating it as well. Getting into a great art school was just one step towards solidifying his dreams of becoming a renowned artist. Many of his days are spent poised in front of an easel, contemplating his next stroke.

Stefan Feldt

​

Name: Stefan Wade Feldt
Nickname: none
Age: 12-17
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual

Face Claim: Ty Simpkins | Max Barczak
Eye Color: Brown
Hair Color: Blonde
Height: 5'10
Weight: 155
Appearance:

Young Stefan's most notable feature is definitely his adorable smile. Coupled with his pinchable, slightly chubby cheeks, the young boy has a bit of an innocent little cherub look going on. His long, blonde hair creates a fame for his face. As a youngster he is a bit taller than the norm, not towering over his peers but enough to stand out. One shouldn't be surprised to spot Stefan with a smudge of dirt across his face.

As Stefan grew older his face thinned out quite a bit, giving him a more mature and serious look. Though his height advantage over his peers didn't stick around as he only grew to be of average height. Though he jokes that his hair has improved quite a bit from the old days, many people reckon it could still use a cut.

Clothing:

Stefan is the type of person who seems to be perpetually cold so you'd be hardpressed to see him anything less than a long sleeve. More often he's wearing some sort of sweater or cardigan. His favorite color is yellow and he likes to incorporate it into his wardrobe as much as possible. Other than these facts, there isn't much that is special about his clothing.

Personality:

Stefan has always been a fairly clever guy, his parents even saying that he thinks too much for his own good. His ideas are often supported by passionate rants to his friends, though he's learned to keep it to himself when he's in public. This isn't to say he is overly serious. Stefan has quite the sense of humor, he loves making people laugh. Whether he pulls a silly face or tells the cheesiest joke you've ever heard, it's all just as good to him.

Sincerity is a trait Stefan prides himself on. He simply wants what is best for himself, his friends, and his family. He is also dedicated and a loyal friend, but since he is a overly skeptical, it takes him longer than normal to make friends with people. Despite his good intentions, Stefan has a habit of being too quick to judge situations. He always thinks that what he is saying is right, since he comes from a place of morals. One could say that even though he is very intelligent, he listens too much to his heart.

Family:

Karl | Father

Karl and Stefan are fairly close. He works for the government, and many of the questions Stefan asks go unanswered due to the secrecy.

Mia | Mother

Mia isn't as good with boys as she is with girls. His incessant rants exasperate her more often than they don't.

Valkyrie | Sister (5 years older)

Valkyrie was the one who instilled in Stefan the skepticism. She told him to never believe anything anyone told him. Though as she grew older she became indoctrinated into the system. Stefan misses who she used to be.

Erikson | Brother (2 years younger)

Erikson is quite explosive and keeps to himself. Stefan doesn't mesh well at all with him. Most conversations either end in yelling matches or violent encounters.

Jude Kendall

​

Name: Jude Dorian Kendall
Nickname: Judy Moody (antagonizing)
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Role: Tree Hugger

Face Claim: Matthew Clavane
Eye Color: Brown
Hair Color: Brown
Height: 6'1
Weight: 170 lbs
Appearance:

Jude has very delicate features, outlined by a messy mane of light brown hair. He has thick brows that rest above his wide and expressive eyes. He is tall but wears his height well, slender but elegant. This coupled with his facial features causes him to look a bit effeminate, especially if he pulls his hair up into a messy bun. His hands are surprisingly soft, even after spending much more of his time outside than in. Jude has no piercings, but has always wanted to pierce his ears himself.

Clothing:

Due to Jude's borderline hatred of the fashion industry's impact on the environment, he exclusively wears clothing that has either been thrifted or passed down to him. Because of this, his clothes are often worn and old. He likes soft flannels and sweaters the most, often wearing them even when the weather is begging him not to. One notable thing about Jude is that he seems to never wear socks, even if he is wearing tennis shoes. Although he is much more likely to be wearing no shoes at all.

Personality:

Jude has good intentions, noble even, he just goes about them the wrong way. Due to his forward nature, he can be a bit too forward about his beliefs and what he thinks is right. In short, he is incredibly opinionated and not afraid to "educate" others. Jude's love for Mother Earth is central in how he lives his life. Animals, plants, and bugs receive the majority of his love. Humans are often the second thought for Jude. It probably isn't surprising that he is the archetype of boys who have their heads in the clouds. With so many fantastic ideas that are highly impractical, he spends an absurd amount of time day dreaming.

Although he often despises humans for their selfish nature, Jude would consider himself to be more optimistic than pessimistic. He believes that everyone has good in them, and that they can be redeemed if they receive enough love. Though he likely wouldn't be the one to deliver. Jude has only been in one relationship thus far, and it crashed and burned miserably. He has yet to find anyone who has made him feel on fire as much as being out in the open land does. Perhaps some day.

Likes: nature | spiders | tomatoes | family | rom-coms | acoustic guitars
Dislikes: sweets | mondays | being laughed at | anything that can be faintly considered horror | cars

Biography:

Jude is the youngest child of his parents by quite a bit. The result of an unintended pregnancy, his parents were very done with raising up kids when they got the news that Jude was on the way. They loved him equally as his older 3 siblings (who were graduating from highschool and older when Jude was born), but due to their age they adopted much more of a hands off approach to raising the boy. He spent more time out on his own, riding around on his bike than doing any activities with his parents or hanging out with his much older siblings.

His interest in conservation and nature spurred from a very young age. His father often fondly recounts the story of Jude crying because he didn't want to kill the spider that had interrupted bath time. From there, his excursions outside never ended without the boy bringing back some creature that definitely did not belong indoors. At school, his annoying antics began. He continuously "educated" his fellow classmates about respecting animals and the plight of Mother Earth. He often got teased about this. Cruel boys would antagonize Jude by stomping on ant hills and calling him "Judy Moody" when he would cry about it. Luckily, the boys grew out of that cruel behavior. He wasn't as unfortunate to shake the nickname, though.

In high school, Jude decided to take his activism a step further. He started a conservation club and organized various outings to the local beach to pick up trash. Of course, he's more notable for the more controversial things he's done at school. Like covering himself in fake blood and lying in the middle of the floor to protest the school cafeteria providing meat to students. But it's for a good cause!

Harrison Ellis

​

Name: Harrison Tyler Ellis
Nickname: Harry
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual

Face Claim: Christopher Kellie
Eye Color: Dark Brown
Hair Color: Dark Brown
Height: 6'
Weight: 175 lbs
Appearance:

Harrison isn't shredded by any means, but he has a dedicated fitness plan that keeps him in shape. No matter where he is, his posture always reflects his poised and calm personality. He has somewhat dark features with dark brown hair to match his dark brown eyes. Inexpressive eyes don't lend much softness to his face either, as he isn't really one to smile outside of the occasional smirk or two.

Clothing:

Harrison dresses like the young professional he is. At the very least he wears a nice t-shirt with a pressed pair of slacks. Though it is much more likely to spot him in a long sleeve button down with a tie, or a simple and classy suit. A penchant for cleanliness, you'll never spot him with so much as a speck on his clothing.

Personality:

Harrison is extremely focused. Perhaps too focused even. He is so focused with his work that he hardly ever gives others the time of day unless they are beneficial to him professionally. When made to interact with others he is quite courteous, though keeping a respectable distance between himself and others emotionally. If one were being harsh with their words, they'd call Harrison a bit bland. He struggles with letting loose and really allowing himself to have "fun". To him, fun is relaxing on the couch after a hard day at work or spending a Saturday deep cleaning the garage.

When it comes to his love life, Harrison views himself as a lot more loving than he actually is. Due to his absentminded and distant nature, he never really gives a woman as much attention as they deserve. Although he can easily make conversation with others, Harrison is just as happy with being left alone and blending in. He isn't really interested in sex for pleasure, drinking, drugs, or anything else he deems to be temporary pleasure. For one he thinks it's boring and childish, but he also just doesn't have much time for tomfoolery.

Likes: fluffy dogs | mystery books | simplicity | puzzles | peace and quiet | commenting during movies | country music
Dislikes: messes or messy people | seafood | camping | excessive spending | camping | gambling | aimless flirting


Biography:

Harrison was raised in the middle of nowhere Louisiana with his two younger sisters and his parents. Being raised on a farm has certain effects on a kid growing up. For Harrison, it bred an intense feeling of not belonging. He wasn't meant to be a country kid. He had so much more that he could grow up and do. Harrison was "too smart" for the farm life. But he couldn't prove this to anyone. He and his siblings were homeschooled so they could work around the farming schedule. Long days of tending the fields with school work mixed in became the norm. It was what he was meant to do, and when he got old enough he'd take over and the farm would be his. This wasn't the life he wanted.

At age 17, Harrison left home and cut all contact with his family. He drove into the nearest town, bought the first train ticket out of there, and traveled north until he couldn't take being on the train any longer. He got off in Des Moines, Iowa with the intention of completely reinventing himself. Within the next two year, he obtained his GED and saved up a solid amount of money working countless hours at a shitty part time. Though he didn't want to chance things with college. Without being in contact with his family, he had no way of obtaining enough money for it and didn't want to risk excessive loans.

Instead, Harrison used his coding skills and smoothing talking to test out his entrepreneurial abilities. He started a small business creating websites for people and making the process a lot easier. It was a rocky start, but despite his hatred for his background the farm life came through for him. Harrison was a dedicated worker, pulling countless all nighters to ensure the success of his business. Eventually it took off, and when it did things moved quickly. At this point, Harrison was around 24 years old. He was now making enough money to live a cushy life, and had hired enough people to where the business could function without him.

Of course Harrison didn't take this as a sign to slow down and relax. In fact he threw himself deeper into his work. His work ethic, while beneficial in most situations, was going to kill him. He was constantly fatigued and seemed to never be well rested. At the rate he was going, he'd be completely gray by 37. Or dead from the stress.

Ken Marsh

​

Name: Kenneth Wallace Marsh
Nickname: Ken
Age: 54
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Position: Chief of Staff

Face Claim: Mark Strong
Hair Color: Brown (kept shaved)
Eye Color: Green
Height: 6'3
Weight: 185 lbs
Appearance:

Ken is a large man with severe looks, an appearance some may find quite intimidating. Not one to smile much, he often has a serious and pensive look on his features. Light brown eyes that always seem to pierce straight through a person and look directly into their core. His hair, once a full head, was starting to fall out so instead of balding he simply decide to shave it off. Most say that the bald look suits him better. Perhaps it fits his stoic personality best. When it comes to the rest of his body, he keeps himself in good shape. A fit body helps to keep the mind sound, especially at his age.

Clothing:

When one spends as much time in the Capital as Ken does, they can't afford to not look sharp. His suits are nothing special, though he opts for black more often than navy or gray. He prefers the severity black brings him. For ties, he likes to keep it simple. Much more likely to wear plain black, red, and blue as opposed to anything patterned or decorative. His undershirt is either white or a charcoal grey depending on circumstance, and he always wears a simple pair of polished black dress shoes. When not working, he wears simple dress shirts with black or gray slacks.

Personality:

Ken is a serious and stoic man, not one to play games or take no for an answer. He can be very short with people, and patience is definitely not one of his strong suits. His strategical tactics focus much more on strong arming and ultimatums as opposed to tricks and subtle manipulation. In the simplest words, he is very direct. He doesn't mind to play the politics game, though he is much better at bending the rules to meet his demands than bending himself to meet the rules. He is not too concerned with bureaucratic red tape, and despises being told what to do more than anything else in the world. Perhaps this has led to him making some questionable moves in the past, but to him it is no concern so long as the outcome was beneficial.

When it comes to his personal relationships, Ken is loving but intense. A strong proponent of "tough love", he demands excellence out of everyone he interacts with, perhaps not taking enough time to slow down and praise those around him for the good they've already done. To him, past success is important, yes. But continued goals for the future are much more relevant to him. For this reason, retirement is something he thinks he'll ever consider. Even if he isn't in Washington in his old age, he is certain that he'll still be making moves to improve the political landscape.

Likes: power | politics | winning | yes men
Dislikes: manipulation | mind games | being told what he can and can't do | reminders of where he came from
Vices: stubborn | cold | demanding | inflexible | blunt
Virtues: passionate | intelligent | quick on his feet | not easily manipulated | driven by success

Biography:

Growing up in a small town in Minnesota meant learning how to do things the hard way. His mother and father were loving but distant, both working near constantly to keep their 7 children from feeling the effects of the poverty they were experiencing. But Ken noticed plenty, being bullied at school for the holes and his shoes and going harsh winters with a coat much too old were things that were easy to feel. He didn't despise his parents for it, he understood that they were doing the best that they could. Although, it would be a lie to say that there weren't times that he wished they'd simply done better.

In school, Ken was always extremely focused. He didn't let trivial matters distract him from the most important idea in his mind. Education was his key. Education was his way to pull himself out of poverty and make something of himself. So starting from the tender age of 11, he threw himself into his studies without care for anything else that may have come up in his life. Girls? Boring. Sports? Not for him. Friends? He had a few, especially throughout high school, but he didn't allow them to be a distraction. He graduated valedictorian from his nobody high school, and took his first step towards becoming someone with real power.

He accepted a hefty scholarship offer to attend Princeton University.

While there he majored in Political Theory, taking a great interest in the subject. In addition to this he joined their very successful debate panel, contributing to 4 years of success and even serving as the president in his final year. After receiving his Bachelor's he attended Harvard Law, receiving a J.D. before moving on to his first actual gigs in Washington.

When he first arrived in DC he wasn't quite sure what to do, but eventually he settled on working as a Legislative Aide for various senators. During his early years, he also went back to school and received his Masters followed by his doctorate in Politics at his homeschool of Princeton. He did this for several years before moving on as a Policy Analyst, Policy Adviser, and many other jobs on Capitol Hill. He preferred it this way, it allowed him to have influence and power without having to be in the spotlight. In fact, Ken has never run for office himself but he hasn't hesitated to work on the campaign staff of many people in congress who he personally supported. Of course, working with Greyson was his most prestigious job yet.

As the chief political adviser for the Greyson campaign, Ken often had to tell the tough truths that candidate did not want to hear. He used his years of expertise to effectively evaluate the field and ultimately help steer the campaign on the path of success. Although Ken was certainly grateful, it'd be a stretch if he were to say he was surprised to be tapped for Chief of Staff.

Conan Ros

​

Name: Conan Luke Ros
Nickname: n/a
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Place of Origin: Derry, Ireland

Face Claim: Emile Woon
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Brown
Height: 5'7
Weight: 145 lbs
Appearance:

Conan is a small young man, one who often blends into the wall as opposed to commanding attention. The messy smattering of freckles on his pale skin are the one feature that cause some interest. A mark that is decidedly Irish that interrupt his otherwise Asian features. He keeps his hair short and mildly maintained, sometimes much messier than others. Very frail, Conan's stature makes his mutation a bit more ironic. The ability to contort his body and stretch to magnificent lengths sometimes allows for him to forget how small his natural size is.

Power/Mutation: Elasticity- Conan has the ability to stretch himself to many lengths, proving to be quite flexible. With enough concentration, he can do so at a speed that faster than what an average human would be able to do. He also has incredibly fast reaction times. There are weaknesses to his ability though, as he is unable to stretch as well the colder the weather gets. He also is extraordinarily vulnerable when in a stretched state. Also, if he stretches extremely far he is left with painful bruises that last for quite awhile.
New or Old Student: Old. Conan has attended the school since age 14.

Personality:

Conan is an inoffensive and gentle boy, much preferring to stay out of the spotlight himself. He is quite shy and easily flustered, often embarrassed with quite the tendency to stumble over his own words. Niceness is the name of his game. Putting smiles on other people's faces is one of his favorite pastimes, and though he isn't very great at making friends, those he holds he are quite close to his heart. Loyalty is incredibly important to him. He wouldn't consider himself to be clingy or overbearing, but he does have an intense fear of being abandoned. Especially after certain things happening in his personal life.

When it comes to his mutation, Conan is well past despising himself for the differences. No longer does he wish he were "normal". Instead he's begun rolling with the punches. It does help, being a part of a community where he is no longer an outcast. And yet Conan still finds himself feeling quiet lonely from time to time. Though his shyness cripples him, he still finds himself craving companionship that he doesn't often hold. He has quite low self esteem, but at least he's working on it... Right?

Likes: outdoors | cross words | relaxing | dancing | sweets | cats
Dislikes: bullies | attempts at nicknames | sports | fruit cakes | politics
Hobbies: drawing | poetry | watching television
Fears: being left to suffer on his own | stretching to the point of no return
Quirks: intense stutter when under pressure | cracks his knuckles

Biography:

Growing up in a small flat with just his father around, Conan has always been keenly aware of his place in the world. How he was just a teeny tiny piece of a much larger world. Despite the fact that he was an only child, it still seemed that he couldn't do much to grasp his father's affection. It seemed that the severe man had blamed Conan for his mother abandoning the both of them. Conan could never be sure if he was at fault though, as it wasn't a topic his father truly wanted to speak about. It was only a "fact" to be wielded as a weapon when Conan misbehaved.

The resentment only seemed to grow when Conan's mutation surfaced. Age 8, far too old to be playing with dolls in his father's opinion. So the man took Conan's teddy and placed it high atop a bookshelf where he knew Conan couldn't reach. Except twenty minutes later Conan had the bear in his room, cuddling it as if nothing had happened. He snatched the stuffed animal again, placing it in the same place except this time hiding nearby. He was horrified when he watched his son stretch his arm upwards in an inhuman fashion, cursing the boys mother for bringing such a monster into his life.

Incidents like this continued as Conan grew older. And when Conan's father was contacted about the academy, he was grateful to have the boy taken off his hands. Conan has been living there since he was 14 years old, only contacting his father with an occasional phone call.

Dalton Horowitz

​

Name: Dalton James Horowitz
Nickname: DJ
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bisexual

Face Claim: Joland Novaj
Hair Color: Brown but currently dyed slightly lighter
Eye Color: Brown
Height: 6'
Build: ectomorph
Appearance:

Dalton is quite thin, some may even say frail. He's tall but not incredibly so, yet still his limbs and his brain seem to never cooperate. Clumsy would be the easiest way to describe his movements, taking away from the seriousness of his ever-present frown. His hair is naturally a chestnut brown, but out of curiosity he decided to bleach it. The color is currently growing out though, with the natural color present at his roots. His style of dress is decidedly "fashionable". Or at least in sync with the current trends. He wears oversized long sleeve t shirts or decorative, button-down short sleeves if it is too hot. The scar along his arm is raised and pale, something that Dalton is a bit self conscious about.

Personality:

Dalton is quite the anxious guy, in the habit of blowing things way out of proportion and constantly stressing. He is someone who doesn't like to not know what is coming next, and plans vigorously for every occasion. Over the top? Sure. But his brain enjoys betraying him by conjuring up images of the worst possible thing that can happen in any given situation. Because of this he prefers calm, relaxing activities that have no chance in resulting in something bad happening. The boy is not nearly strong enough to stand his ground though, and is often dragged into situations that he would rather not be in.

When it comes to friends, once he takes a fierce liking to someone he considers them family. Relentlessly loyal despite what may seem like a flippant attitude. He shows his love through thick layers of sarcasm, and though he may seem to be perpetually grumpy he never passes up a chance to hang out with friends. Though sometimes he can be too harsh with his words, those who have known him long know that he only means well. That being said, when his mouth does get him into trouble Dalton tends to let others take care of it for him. He isn't the best at direct confrontation.

Likes: conspiracy theories | painting | antiques
Dislikes: large open areas | astrology | loud noises
Vices: grim | irritable | easily spooked | cynical | relentlessly meticulous
Virtues: intelligent | grounded | honest | dependable | loyal
Fears: anything living that should be dead | storms | being possessed
Quirks: Always chewing something (gum, toothpick, lollypop stick)

Biography:

The Horowitz's have always been close as a family, staying nearby in cases of emergency or just to have a lovely chat. When Dalton was born, things didn't change at all. He lived in a small and cramped house with his parents, older sister and grandmother. Growing up, his grandmother subjected him and his sister to countless stories about the mysterious town they lived in. Some more unbelievable than others, but each still striking fear into the heart of a young Dalton. It was never Margaret's intention to scare the Horowitz children, to her the stories were simply a part of a rich history. For Dalton however, they became the root of his paranoia and bitterness.

Never one to enjoy adventuring, Dalton was more likely to be seen indoors on the floor in front of his television playing video games long into the night. His sister was the opposite, often begging Dalton to come out and play. To check out the woods with her or to explore that creepy cave. This made things even stranger for him when she turned 18 and simply disappeared. People in the town made excuses, claiming she simply ran off because she was tired of the bland Midnight life. But Dalton knew his sister's love for Midnight, and the ominous stories about those who explored too far. Perhaps it was because things happened when he was so young (only 11), but Dalton maintains to this day that something more sinister happened to his sister.

In school Dalton faired well enough. Not popular enough but not quite weird enough to be isolated completely on his lonesome. He made friends, a tight nit group of them, that occasionally would add a new face or two to the fray. Despite Dalton's attitude towards exploration, his pushover nature often found him on these outages. Though since Cameron's disappearance, Dalton has wished he was more firm about not messing around with Midnight's rules.

Dalton is certain that whatever happened to his sister has happened to Cameron as well. And that going after him will end in the same fate for him and all his friends..
