Open High School Blues

Coloursfall

THIS IS HOW WE BLEED
Welcome to Daylight High School, the most prestigious Private High School in Sinnoh! As a student here, you are expected to be the best of the best, to behave in a way befitting young men and women. And that's the face that's shown to the teaching staff and parents...

But behind the walls of the school, in the dorms and common rooms, is the world of the teenaged mind. It is a strange place, divided into 'cliques' of like-minded individuals. It is your place. As you struggle to survive in this harsh world, you will learn valuable lessons for life after High School (if there is such a thing!).

Lunch

My Form:

Name: Ingrid Godfrey
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Species: Flareon

Appearance: Ingrid is rather short and slightly chubby. Her fur is short and soft, with a red hue all over, except for her tail and mane. Her tail is about half as long as she is tall and a pale cream colour. Her mane is the same colour, and makes it looks like she's wearing a puffy feather boa all the time. The long hair on the top of her head is also the same cream colour, and long enough that she can wear it in a ponytail. Her ears are long and pointed, and pierced three times each. Her eyes are almond-shaped and a dark blue. She's well-curved, with a good-sized rear and bust. She likes to wear jogging pants and t-shirts, but has to stick to the girl's uniform (A yellow skirt and white dress shirt, with matching yellow jacket) while in school. She typically adorns herself with lots of jewelery, her favourite piece a red stone dangling from a delicate silver chain.

Personality: Strong willed and thick-skulled, Ingrid is very much her own woman. She refuses to allow men (and other women) to control her life, and can’t wait until she can get out of the school and stop having to be ordered around. She tends to see others in a purely scientific view, following someone she finds interesting to observe them. She’s very smart, but prefers to hide this fact.

Bio: Ingrid has a very large family – she has six brothers and sisters - and it was hard for her parents to get her into a good school. But they decided that it was worth it, and saved up enough money to enroll her in the best school they could.

Schedule: Art, English, Lunch, Drafting & Design, German

Name: Diego Álvaro, Nickname: Hell Hound

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Species: Houndoom

Appearance: He stands at a intimidating 7 ft. Shaggy ink black hair with a few locks overing his left eye. His has long curled horns that curl out past his shoulders, a few chips and slivers missing making him look like he just came from a fight His eyes are beep red and look cold and hard, but are only seen when he tips his black sun glasses down to look at someone eye to eye. He rarely wears the school uniform, but when he if forced to, he will be seen with a beaten and worn black leather jacket scarred with age. He wears scarred boots with "dark stains" on the toes. When seen, he will most likely have a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.

Personality: He may look like a dark phantom that would rip you apart with slim notice, he is secretly a nice guy under the tough shell he has made himself. He love to harass the teachers and the students around him, grinning like a hell hound to scare them with his natural dark demeanour. He may hang out on the school grounds and skip classes now and then, but he is a very intelligent young man, tested to be a genius at a young age.

Basically, he is a bad ass with a good heart and is very smart.

Bio: He came from a broken home where you never knew what was in store for you the next day. He would judge the days by two things: How much his old man drank, and How much was left for him to finish. Most of his life he would avoid his home as much as possible, doing anything to pass the time.

His mother was Spanish, but she died when Diego was young.

Schedule: Art, Spanish, Religion, Foods

Other: He currently has no crush (That may change). He took Spanish so he could learn his Mother's tounge, his own way to try to become closer to his mother's family. He took Religion as a gag class, but enjoys listening to the storys of different faiths. Foods....well, lets say that the several fire alarms weren't drills.
 
((Ummm, don't know much about American high school so gogogo Wikipedia!))

Name: Mayeius Koutali (Pronounced 'MAH-ee-oos koo-TAH-lee')

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Species: Alakazam

Appearance: Standing at a height of 1.6 metres, Mayeius has pale skin and golden-yellow hair. He has two long, spike-shaped ears that come out of the top of his head at an angle, and his skull is shaped in an odd way so that he has two shorter spikes at his temples. He also has a long moustache, odd for his age, which is wider at the ends, and is cream in colour. His eyes are small and bright blue, and he wears black-framed spectacles. Mayeius has clawed, two-fingered hands and large, toeless feet which have two claws at the front and one at the back. The claws on both his hands and his feet are retractable. He always carries two simple metal spoons wherever he goes, and feels most comfortable holding one in each hand.

Personality: Mayeius, due to his Alakazam half, is extremely intelligent for his age. He gets excellent grades for nearly every lesson and is well-known among the teachers as a brilliant pupil. However, with this intelligence there comes a downside - he is bullied rather frequently. Because of this, outside of classes he tends to stay quietly with himself, reading books, doing homework or just fiddling with his spoons. He is calm and does not get angry very often - but when he does get angry, one would think there had recently been an explosion nearby.

Bio: His parents knew from birth that he was gifted, an absolute genius. From the age of a single day he already knew his way around the whole house, had found two spoons (which he had kept ever since) and had completed six medium-sized Jigsaw puzzles. They tried to send him off to a private school to make the best of his intelligence, but they just didn't have the money. The only other option was public school, where he was constantly bullied for his strange wisdom.

Schedule: Maths, Computer Programming, Lunch, French, History

Name: Hyro Daniel Carroll

Age: 13

Gender: Male

Species:
Pichu

Appearance: Hyro is quite short at 1.35 metres and has golden-blue coloured fur. He has a few of the physical features that you would expect of a Pichu (big pointy ears, a short black tail), but also has longish, brown hair that slighty covers his eyes. Because of this, Hyro is constantly brushing it out of his eyes. His eyes are jet-black, and if you look directly into them, they look tired and scared and hopeful all at once. He wears a pendant with a rainbow-coloured triangle on it. When not in uniform, he wears jeans, a black T-shirt, and trainers.

Personality: Hyro is fairly easy-going and slightly immature, but at the same time insecure and scared. This is due to the severe bullying he used to get at primary school (or whatever it's called in the USA) because when he was still young, he would emit electrical sparks from his cheeks. Hyro learnt to control the sparks and ignore the remarks, but it still hurts when people remark on it. He often gets into trouble with his teachers, especially English when he gave another student a 200-volt shock, but gets fairly good grades.

Bio: When he was 5, Hyro found his father's copy of Metallica's album Master Of Puppets. His father played it him and this cemented Hyro's love for rock and heavy metal music. Hyro is an extremely talented musician (he is exceptional at playing the bass guitar, electric guitar, drums, keyboard and saxophone), but cannot sing. Due to the bullying he received, Hyro took up Tae Kwon Do. He is currently on the Bluebelt.

Schedule: Band, English, Lunch, Science, History

How's that?

Name: Dawn Amethyst

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Species: Swellow

Appearance: Her hair is short, and curls up a bit at the end. It is otherwise straight, and is dyed a blue-gray, but at the same time is the color of the sky. Dawn has light blue eyes that are about the color of water. Her shirt is light red with a blue chevron pattern, going from one shoulder to the other. Instead of arms, Dawn has wings, but if she needs fingers, her primary flight feathers can be used. She wears white sweat pants, and has a forked tail that is blue, but tipped with red. Her legs are normal, but she has a bird's talons. She's short but slim, and can fly with her wings.

Personality: Although Dawn is light-hearted, she can often overlook things or be too optimistic. She's only careful sometimes, when there's hardly an emotion in her. Mostly, she's friendly, but it's easy to discourage her or make her angry. She tends to be somewhat different when sad, and it takes a long time for her to cheer up again. Dawn can be argumentative, also, even though she tries her hardest not to be. She probably just likes talking a lot.

Bio: She was born in a well-forested area, during the springtime. It was rather cold where she lived, so she enjoys snow immensely, also. ((Tell me if I need to add any more.))

Schedule: Japanese, Drama, Drafting & Design, Dance

Name: Frederick

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Species: Pidgeot

Appearance: Frederick has no hair, and has a long crest instead. The crest is pink, adorned with a thick white stripe down the middle. His face always has a determined, sophisticated and superior look to it. He stands about 5'8" tall and has a shallow-sloping torso covered in tan feathers. Replacing his arms are rounded wings with tan primaries and otherwise brown feathers. He has red tail feathers, and his feet are rather talon-like. He doesn't like wearing a shirt because of his plumage, but he wears pinkish-tan shorts that reach halfway down to his knees. He has facepaint around his eyes that look like the design on a Pidgeot's face.

Personality: Frederick is almost never judgemental. He can be a bit irresponsible or inconfident, but other times he isn't. He can be feeling one emotion at one minute and another the next, even though he doesn't feel very heavy emotions at all. He's helpful and kind, but very protective. Even though he's a bit reckless and jumps into problems most of the time, he can also easily threaten the enemy--and even he doesn't know why.

Bio: Frederick was always shunned because of his mysteriously-caused Pidgeot self. He can't remember when or how he was fused, but he only found one friend. Even he can't remember her name, but she liked bird Pokemon and thought his feathers or fluffy. When he moved to junior high, she had to go to a different one. If he thinks hard, he can remember her name sometimes....

Schedule: Japanese, Computer Programming, Science, Foods

Other: I AM FINISHED

OH OH OH AN ANTHRO POKEMON RP I'M SO FRIGGIN IN!!!!! But I did want to be a mix of two Pokemon.... Oh well! =D BTW, can they use Pokemon moves?

Name: Valkyrie Windra (Dragon)
Age: 14 *eyetwitch*
Gender: Female
Species: You know it has to be... salamence
Appearance: Dragon wears a black jacket over a dark red shirt, and dark brown pants. She has black hair with a few natural streaks of brown, and is the equivalent of Asian. *covers avatar with hand* Dragon has Salamence wings coming out of her shoulder blades, and a blue and red tail. Her fingers and toes are claw-like, and have a slightly blue tinge. Her ears have three blue points coming out of them.
Personality: Dragon is carefree, and is rarely serious. She laughs often, and loud. She acts first and thinks later, and realizes she makes idiotic decisions. Dragon is sociable, but doesn't have too many friends, on account of her mocking and threatening them. Dragon likes to fly, and goes around school property at breaks, sometimes going off. That is, if she's not socializing. She tenses up around unfamiliar people and Pokemon, but relaxes and enjoys herself around friends and familiar people.
Bio: Born near Meteor Falls, Dragon grew up with some Salamence, and learned English from travellers passing by, which were frequent. She was found by a passing scientist, and brought to an orphanage. Dragon learned some more English, and eventually was taken in by a young couple, who were Trainers. Dragon was sent to human school.
Schedule: PE, Computer Programming, Lunch Science, Foods
Other: Nothing much, she has no crushes as of now, Dragon likes PE best, and doesn't have any least favourite classes.

I realized my character has the same classes as Cryptica's just now. I promise it was a coincidence~
 
Name: Acacia Brightsun (Kiki)

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Species: Espeon

Appearance: In a sense, she looks like an Espeon version of a Viera. She has cat ears (Espeon?) with several small gold earrings and a red gem on her forehead, and, along with the obvious, a tail. She has very thin, straight waist-length violet hair that she keeps in a braid. (The reason behind this is mostly because it's the only way to hide that the hair on the sides of her head stick out a lot). She has very white teeth, and sharp fangs. She's small, only about 5'5, and looks smaller because she has pretty bad posture. She has lavender-colored fur all over, and almond shaped eyes that are (gasp) dark purple, with white pupils. Her nails are pretty long and usually painted electric blue. Her clothes are just a school uniform, or a plain pair of sweatpants and a tee-shirt.

Personality: Acacia looks like she would be very meek and shy, being so small thin, and usually rather quiet. Wrong. She is very stubborn and hates to admit she's wrong about something. She likes showing off her drawings and paintings (Though she's rather critical of them, and occasionally burns her artwork that she considers "bad") and the fact that she knows a lot about many random subjects. Acacia like to yell random things and often quotes or refers to bands no one has heard of, books, and video games in conversations. This usually confuses the other person, much to her amusement. Generally, most people she know either think she's rude and possibly crazy, think she's very funny and smart, or are just plain confused. She doesn't care what people think about her very much, and gets into fights defending people she likes fairly often.

Bio: Acaica's parents actually thought she was "stupid" or at least had some form of learning disabilities. She didn't really care. Her family lived like humans in a house deep in the woods. One day, at the age of ten, while her parents were away she stole her mom's entire supply of nail polish and created a huge, elaborate mural on the entireside of the house. After being in trouble for a very long time, they began teaching her different languages, art and music, later sending her to Daylight High.

Schedule: Band (Band? Art? Japanese? Band? Art? Japanese? ;D)
Drama
Lunch
Religion
Photography

Other: Acacia is very good at painting and drawing, and likes photography a lot.

Ok, we're starting now! also, note the first post - I added the teachers.

----

A tall, dark-haired man stood up on the stage of the auditorium, at a podium right in the centre. He was tapping a foot impatiently, his blazing tail flicking back and forth. A few other teachers were trying to catch the attention of the amassed students for the start of year assembly, with varying degrees of success.

Ingrid, meanwhile, had perched in a hard wooden seat at the back of the room, near the doors, and was scuffing the toe of her sneaker on the red carpet as she examined her schedule. It wasn't bad, a good order. She tried to recall who taught what...

Art was the 'Dev, she knew that. He'd been her teacher every year she'd been here. English was Viney... All the male students seemed to find her very attractive. Ingrid snorted. Then were Drafting & Design and German... She didn't recall who taught those but it probably wouldn't be too bad.

She looked up from the sheet of paper to see if she could catch any familiar faces.
 
"Mr. Álvaro! Pat attention!"

A young man with shaggy black hair and log curved horns opens one of his eyes, slumped in one of the chairs second row to the back. He sighs and sits up, fixing the collar of his leather jacket. He lowers his sunglasses and stares at the teacher that spoke to him with his piercing red eyes, watching the fool slowly shrink away from him to bother another student.

" Esto es demasiado fácil....This is too easy"

He leans back in the chair, tipping his head back to scan the rows behind him.

I wonder is Ingrid is in any of my classes...Always fun to bug her during class...please is Clase de bastante
 
((Can I just point out that if the Spanish teacher gets called 'Senorita', the French teacher should be called 'Monsieur'))

"Mathematics. Mr. Ross. Metagross. Highly intelligent. Computer Programming. Miss Higgins. Upgraded Porygon, otherwise known as 'Porygon-2'. Artificial, but intelligent. French language. Monsieur Florian. Roserade. Average. History. Mr. Zeno. Xatu. Intelligent."

After the quick anaylsis of his lessons and teachers, Mayeius folded the timetable up and placed it in his pocket, taking from the same pocket two simple metal spoons. He passed one into his other hand and held them upright, fists on his knees. He shut his eyes, focusing to pass the time, and the left spoon began to bend forwards while the right one curved backwards.
 
As the teacher at the front of the auditorium kept talking, Hyro glanced at his timetable. Band, good. English, average. Science, good. History, average. Not bad, I suppose, he thought to himself. Hyro sighed. The assembly was longer than usual, and he was tired. Why did he stay up until 3am an the day before school started?

Hyro glanced at the students around him as he tried to remember who he had for his lessons. He had just remembered who he had for English when his eyes started to flutter shut.

"Hyro Carroll! Wake up!" Mr Mustang barked at him. Hyro woke with a start. The students around him sniggered discreetly. Wonderful. Hyro thought. Not a full hour in and I've already done something stupid. As the sniggering subsided and Mr Mustang started talking again, Hyro wondered how much longer the assembly would last.

Moonlight took a piece of paper out of her pocket. She unfolded it and looked at her schedule and teachers. PE - a Machamp named Mr. Armstrong, Computer Programming - a Porygon2 named Ms. Higgins, Lunch, Religion - a Dusknoir named Mr. Jain, Photography, a Delcatty named Jaques. Okay then!" she ran to PE. She found the teacher almost immediately. "Good morning, Mr Armstrong."
 
Hmm..Band, Drama, Religion, Photography. Why am I even taking religion? It's going to be really dull, I know it. Hmm. All the good classes are first period. Band, art, psych, Japanese.. crap. Well, I'm already pretty good at art and psychic stuff, and I took Japanese last year. But still.
Acacia was in her seat at the assembly, arms folded and looking bored. She looked at her schedule, which was levitating in front of her. She psychically untangled her hair and braided it again, tying it with a rubber band. It hadn't been messed up or anything, but Acacia was bored out of her mind and possibly wanted to show off a little. Once finished, the Espeon sighed and stared blankly at the ceiling.
Can't wait 'till this stupid assembly is over. I wanna go to band class.
