((sorry but the power to heal ANY wound is extremely powerful, and you seem to have spent about 2 minutes on your bio. Right now it sounds as if you have a limb come off, healed. shot through the leg, healed. It is just too powerful, put some limitations on. Add to your appearance and bio a bit as well, then you can be accepted))

((That's cool Sempria. Also, there was a Healer with similar powers, she was a bar 2 but it took a couple of minutes to heal cuts, and hours to heal massive gashes, so it won't be instant. As a bar 3 it would be quicker, so maybe only an hour for a large gash or a broken bone. Also seems you took Icenfly's second power choice XD better hurry Iceinfly!))

Name:
Arion Hunter
Age:
16
Appearance:
I'll put up an image after I post this.
Personality:
Brave, friendly, nice, modest, doesn't like too much attention. Tends to be a natural leader, but refuses it.
Birthdate:
May 8th
Starting Location:
Perdido Beach School
Power:
The ability to create light beams. He can change the temperature of the light from luke warm to sun hot, however, the light itself doesn't radiate heat other than it's own particles. He can make the light float in the air or send a beam in a certain direction. Since the light can reach the Sun's temperatures, it can burn right through most metal. The light itself is a blue colour, that gets whiter as it gets to the center of the light. It's about 5 inches in diameter, but the actual burning light is 3 inches. (For any who's read the books you'll know this is Sam's power, don't care if I don't have originality.) The power is a 4 bar.
Backstory (At least 1 paragraph):
Arion was born at a hospital north of the FAYZ, but still in California. The reason for this is because there is only one doctor in Perdido beach and no hospital. He likes fishing, hiking and many other activities. One day, when he was 15, his dad went fishing along with Arion. Leaving the Perdido Beach marina with their own fishing boat, they went out into the sea, each ecstatic, and each gripping their fishing rods. Once they started fishing, Arion had caught a large tuna fish, while his dad caught salmon. However, due to his father's rowdy past, a large vessel came by and took both Arion and his father. Their hands were tied with rope and were strapped to old plastic chairs. In front of them was a crazy old gang leader, who had lost his eye due to Arion's father. In the past, his father was a CIA agent, and his job at the time was to track the gang leader and take him into custody, while the gang leader's was to prevent that and kill Arion's father. They both failed their missions, each with a price, Arion's father lost his job and the gang leader lost his eye.
On the boat, the gang leader looked right at Arion's dad. "Been a while, huh?" His dad spat at the gang leader's feet. He got slapped with a glove in return. "I do believe this was just painted. Not very polite. I've been tracking you, Zak. I wanted to return the favour from this," the gang leader said, pointing at his eye patch. "So, I'm guessing this is your son? What would you do if we threw him over board?"
"No, you wouldn't do that!" Zak shouted.
"Why not?" The gang leader made a hand signal to a random sailor and they grabbed Arion's chair, then kicked him off the side of the vessel.
"NO!" Shouted Zak. He then looked back to the gang leader and balled up his tied fists. "You're going to pay for that!"
Arion fell into the water, and started to sink. However, his hands were free as the rope untightened, and he simply swam back up. He found a small metal ladder that he could use to climb onto the side of the ship. When he got up, he saw his dad about to get kicked, and Arion shouted "NO!" , palm raised, as if to say "stop" with his hand. However, as he shouted, a small blue beam of light hit the sailor's hand. His hand now had a 1 inch wide hole in his palm, without blood pouring out because the heat had sealed the wound already. The sailor started screaming in pain, yelling, "The kid shot me! The kid shot me!" Arion looked at his palms, his eyes wide open. There were no burn marks or anything on his palms. His dad also looked at Arion in awe. Arion quickly ran to him, and picked up a knife that must've been dropped by the sailor, then started to cut the rope.
The gange leader shouted, "Stop them! Now!" but Arion had already finished cutting the rope, and he threw the knife at the gang leader, hitting his thigh. Arion and his dad jumped off the boat and started to swim to their boat, about 10 meters away. There were sounds of gun shots, and splashes of water around them, but they managed to get to the boat safely. They started the engine and drifted away, but the vessel was faster and caught up.
"Use that weird thing you did before!" Zak shouted over the wind.
"I don't know what I did!" Arion replied.
"Just try!"
Arion held his palm out again, trying to do what he did before, but failing. His power wasn't developed enough and he wasn't used to it. It seemed like it activated in panic. All of a sudden, a large gatling gun started shooting at them. "Try now!" Zak shouted.
Arion yelled, "Stop!" and held his palm out. It worked. A small beam shot out his palm and hit the bottom of the boat. A small 1 inch hole was now sitting on the side, and if you angled yourself you could see it go right through the boat. Water started to seep in, and the boat started to slow. The boat then started to lean forward, nose facing the water. A
"I'll get you, Zak!" shouted the gang leader. Arion and his father reached Perdido Beach, and stayed quiet about the little incident. Arion didn't use the power ever since, until the present day.
During one normal school day, while Arion was day dreaming about home, there was a fire alarm sound at the school. Everyone ran outside and watched fire erupt from one of the school classrooms, a grade 1 classroom. Teachers were discussing about how no one should've been in there, but then there was wailing. Arion heared that the smoke killed you more than fire, and the classroom was almost completely air tight. Arion ran inside the school, hearing shouts of "Wait! We called 911!" but he simply replied, "Whoever's in there's going to die before they get here!"
He ran in with his shirt over his nose, and ran to the burning classroom. He started to smash the door, with no luck. He then tried opening it, and the door opened without resistance. Arion facepalmed himself, then instantly gut ingulfed in smoke. He was forced onto his hands and knees, and as he crawled in he found a little girl who was unconscious, with a lighter in his hand. Next to her was a 10th grade report card. He pulled the girl out of the classroom and managed to get her out the doors. The teachers ran to her and picked her up, and was about to say how dangerous that was to Arion, but he was back inside. He grabbed a fire extinguisher and managed to put out all the flames, before the fire fighters arrived.
He walked outside, and the fire fighters were all praising him, and giving him pats. He ended up on the newspaper, although he didn't really want to be. Everyone in the school knew him, but he tried to stay hidden, wearing normal clothes to prevent looks.
The police found out that the little girl's big brother had gotten the girl to burn his report card, and he was frowned upon, and sent to Coates Academy.
Suggestions (Optional):
I dunno, dude.
Other:
He kind of disappeared after the fire event, and tried to stay hidden, as he didn't like all the attention, so most just ended up forgetting about it.
((Thanks Ice for your suggestion but I've decided to completely do away with the previous bio, you don't have to look at it but I thought I should respond at least and try harder with my bios. The bio itself doesn't change my character too much, but this is kind of in vain anyways since the previous version was already accepted. On a side note I think 100mph translates to around 60mph, still pretty fast.))

((Berserk, I know you intended on writing 100 kph, but I was wrong anyway, I was supposed to write 100 mph. In the books, Brianna was a 3 bar and could run at 100mph. Also, about to edit OP, on info on mutated animals.))
Appearance: Danny is tall for his age, standing at about 6' 0". He has unkempt brown hair and a slender head. He has light green eyes that border on the side of gray. He has long legs and long arms but is naturally quite slender.
Personality: Danny is always full of life and is constantly happy. He has a natural smile and a positive air about him that few can match. He is a decently smart fellow but prefers to leave the problem solving up to those who are more suited to it.
Power: Danny has the ability to absorb the powers of other people who come within a 20 foot radius of himself. Danny will only be able to absorb one power at a time from the first person who comes in contact with him but he may eventually be able to differentiate between different powers.
Backstory (At least 1 paragraph): Danny was born to a small, stereotypical American family. His father worked in real estate and his mother was a stay at home mother. His family frequently went camping in the National Park and enjoyed spending time both at home and in nature. Danny was always a social butterfly, loving to interact with everybody he could and generally being around people. He lived a peaceful life, he never had any problems. That is, accept for one. He never excelled in school, much to the dismay of his parents. He had lots of trouble taking tests and thus, he was quickly thrust into a bad crowd. He started ditching class and doing some more... unsavory things. One day, Danny was ditching class and standing beside Perdido Beach School when something strange happened...
Suggestions (Optional): Nope, no suggestions. Not yet at least.
Other: Find the FAYZ and California somewhere within this app. I bet you that you can't. Wait a second...

Time for a Coates Academy app! (You know, since absolutely no one else has made one yet.)
Name:
Blake Nelson
Age:
16
Appearance:
His hair goes down to his ears, kind of like a medium cut. The hair is black. He has dark brown eyes. He's about 5'11". At the time of the "Big Poof" he was wearing a Coates Academy Blazer, a red blazer with a crest above the heart with ornate letters "C" and "A" in gold thread over a background that showed a golden eagle and a mountain lion. Beneath the crest was the Latin motto of Coates Academy: Ad augusta, per angusta. To high places by narrow roads. He wore a white button-up shirt underneath. He had a tie on, diagonally striped red and black, with a small gold line seperating the red and the black. Apart from all that he wore the school's black trousers, with black leather shoes. (Coates requires uniform)
Personality:
He likes ruling over people and taking control. He can act caring and nice until he gets them in the end. He doesn't care about people that much.
Birthdate:
December 2nd
Starting location:
Coates Academy
Power:
(Screw it, Caine's power. I don't care if I don't have originality, go away :p) Telekinesis. He can carry, move and send objects in all sorts of directions, up to 30 feet. He can only focus on two objects max, though, one in each hand.
Backstory:
Blake was born in Las Vegas, Nevada. His mother died when he was born and his father is a drug addict and an alcoholic, who spends most of his money in the casinos. Eventually, Blake got sick of his dad who kept abusing him and hurting him, so he ran away. Managing to hitch-hike truck drivers, he got around the USA until he reached West USA, California.
He was adopted by a family while he was walking around the streets, and he went to an ordinary school like everyone else. However, he got attacked by bullies at school, but Blake brought his pocket knife and started attacking them. He was sent to Coates Academy, which is where he is to this present day.
One day, he realised he had the power. He was stopped by a bunch of idiots in the boys dorm, and he said "Talk to the hand" and shoved his hand in their face as he walked off. This acted as an invisible fist punched the guy, and he ran off crying. Blake kept his power in secret, figuring out a way to use it to his advantage, and that's when the "Big Poof" happened, and he was all of a sudden in the FAYZ.
Appearance:
Blake is a tall 14 year old, standing roughly at 5'10". He has dark brown hair and blue eyes. He has a lean muscular body. He will usually have a smirk or a grin on his face. At the time of the "Big Poof", he was wearing his Coates Academy sport uniform (Since uniform is required at Coates). A red sports top with a small "Coates Academy" crest on top of his heart. His shorts were black.
Personality:
He's a psychopath. He doesn't show it though. He'll have some kind of evil grin on his face most of the time. He hates everyone but himself. He especially hates women, and their "annoying voices", which is why he is hated by female students at Coates.
Birthdate:
October 13th
Starting location:
Coates Academy
Power:
N/A, he excels with guns.
Backstory:
Josh was born in San Francisco, (Is that in California?)to a wild man and a sane woman. His father was a construction worker. His mother left when he was 4, and divorced his father. His father would smoke a lot, and always go out hunting. He had a hunting license for rifles, but he brought out rifles, pistols, shotguns, all sorts of guns when hunting. He brings Josh with him every time. Josh eventually excelled in operating fire-arms, and got lots of game for it. One day, he decided to deliver payback to a guy who annoyed him by calling him a retard, so he snuck out with his dad's pistol in hand, and shot the poor guy in the knee. His dad had enough money to send him to Coates Academy, instead of Josh going to Juvenile Prison.
Suggestions:
Nah, dude.
Other:
The FAYZ was like a blessing to Josh. No adults to tell him not to brutally torture kids for sadistic pleasure.
((We start... Oh wait the "Big Poof" just happened a second ago. Better start then.))

One minute the teacher was talking about the Great Depression. And the next minute he was gone.
There.
Gone.
No "poof". No flash of light. No explosion.
Arion Hunter was sitting in third-period history class staring blankly at the blackboard, but far away in his head. In his head he was hiking in the mountains, he and his dad. Up along the trails, climbing those rocks, shouting, engulfing the fantastic view they had of Perdido Beach.
For a moment he thought he had imagined it, the teacher disappearing. For a moment he thought he'd slipped into a daydream.
Arion turned to Ben, who sat just to his left.
"You saw that, right?"
Ben was staring hard at the place where the teacher had been.
"Um, where's Mr. Trentlake?" It was Sophia, a girl who wasn't too social.
"He must have left," Ben said, not sounding like he believed it.
Keith, a new kid Arion found potentially interesting, said, "No, man. Poof." He did a thing with his fingers that was a pretty good illustration of the concept.
Kids were staring at each other, craning their necks this way and that, giggling nervously. No one was scared. No one was crying. The whole situation seemed kind of funny.
"Mr. Trentlake poofed?" said Ben, with a suppressed giggle in his voice.
Arion got up, and walked to the door, with a couple eyes on him. He opened it and stared out in the hallway. Multiple kids' heads were also poked out the doorways.
He walked over to the windows and stared hard out into the distance.
((I think the only other person in Arion's class is Edward))
Remi woke up, yawning. She went and did her normal morning routine, shower, brush her teeth, do her hair, etc. The only thing she wondered was why her mom had not woken her up, maybe something came up, as after she was done, she called out to her, with no response. Her father was at work at the time, so he probably wasn't going to be around, she assumed her mother had gone to the shops. She thought it unusual, leaving without telling her, so she checked outside, and her mothers car was parked, and the shop was a good while away, that would be much easier driven.
She wasn't used to being by herself, her mom usually took her everywhere, she did not like it too much. She waited around for a while, before finally going to a neighbors house, Mrs and Mr Kell's, knocking on the door, they were an elderly couple but they were nice to her, she did not receive an answer, though their car was also parked, and they only had the one. She went to a few more neighbors houses, and no answers from them, she even tried a strangers house. At this point she was scared and alone, so she began to go where she didn't like, but she knew where people were bound to be, the school, it was a school day of course.
((this is over the course of two hours, so I might not post again until about that time has passed))

[Blake]
The pencil rolled left and right, and yet not a single thing touched it. Blake was using his newly found power of telekinesis to move the pencil back an forth. He wasn't paying attention to anything Mr. Devan was saying, although he knew it was something about trigonometry. He decided to look up at the board. Mr. Devan was writing stuff about Soh Cah Toa, although Blake had no clue, and he had no idea why he should care.
Then Mr. Devan disappeared.
Blake was staring right at him.
One moment there, the next, emptiness.
The chalk dropped to the floor as Mr. Devan wrote Tangent (Opposite / Ang--
The word "angle" had a half written "l".
Blake stared hard at the empty space. He looked around, and much to his sanity, everyone was doing the same. But for safe measure, he pinched himself. He wasn't day-dreaming.
"Mr. Devan?" This was Ashley who spoke. No one replied.
"What just happened?" This time Sean spoke. Blake got up and waved his hand in the area Mr. Devan was standing in, but there was no resistance. He opened the door to the hallway. Multiple kids were pouring out of the classrooms, all whispering similar things, all related to vanishing teachers, just like Mr. Devan. Blake ran around the school to check for any teachers. He didn't find any teachers, or groundskeeping staff, or any adults, in fact. He stood, thinking about it, then, he began to smile. He was no longer held back by rules and punishment. He started to grin. He threw his hands in the air and laughed, sending a running lawn mower flying in the air. He could now fulfil his desire to control people as their ruler.
[Joshua]
"SCORE!!"
Josh yelled his victory and ran around the school's stadium, shouting and jumping and tripping over, and repeating. He had just finished a game of football and his team won.
"Give me the ball, Josh." That was Mr. Griffins. He was Josh's sports teacher.
"Get it yourself, fool."
"That's no way to speak to your teacher! You'll get me that ball or you'll be going to Principal Grace!"
Josh sighed, picked up the ball and threw it hard at Mr. Griffin. But it never made contact with him. As the ball flew threw the air, Mr. Griffin simply vanished, and the ball bounced away.
"Anybody else see that?"
His team was already walking away, but one looked back and said, "What?"
However Josh didn't need to answer. Mr. Griffin wasn't standing there, and he wasn't anywhere in the stadium.
"Mr. Griffin's gone. I saw him vanish," Josh said.
"Yeah right, he probably just ran off."
"We'd still be able to see him. He's gone."
"You're insane."
"Say that again and I'll snap your back like a twig, idiot!"
"Calm down. He'll be in the locker room."
"Whatever," Josh replied. He was tall for a 14 year old, and could easily beat each one of them in a fight, but against a whole lot would be tough. He walked back to the locker room with the rest of the team.
"Do you see him here? I saw him vanish!" Josh said in persistence.
"Oh just shut the h-" the team player was interrupted, an 8th grader ran in shouting, "The teachers are gone! The teachers are GONE!! Free food at the cafeteria!!"
The boy ran off again, leaving a smirking Josh.
"What did I tell you, I saw him vanish."
"Just a little brat. Doesn't mean nothing."
"I don't care, I'm getting free food!" Josh ran off to the cafeteria. However, as he ran, a running lawn mower smashed to pieces next to him, as it fell from the sky. No longer was it running. He saw an 11th grader standing 20 feet away, with his hands raised. The guy walked into the main building, and Josh followed for revenge.
((Well I'll go with it.))
Edward was taking notes he had to if he planned to pass, unfortunately he just didn't have the stamina and passed out shortly after beginning notes. But a sudden nudging coaxed him into consciousness, slowly picking his head up, blinking repetitively for a few seconds he noticed everyone just a little more excited, and the absence of the teacher. After making sure to let his yawn out he began to speak up. "Where's Mr. Trentlake?" Edward received his answer as various other classmates spoke up or talked about it somewhere else in the room. "Gone? Poof? Are you serious?" Edward was sure he was being conned, after all how hard could it be to trick the sleeping guy? Noticing another member of his class leave Edward began to follow, peaking his head out of the room he noticed many others had the same exact idea. Continuing his way out of his class he noticed many other students peaking out, moving towards he nearest window he noticed a small crowd gathering. Looking out towards the distance he could see cars stalled along various roads, and smoke far away in the background.

[Arion]
Arion stared out the window, trying to see if he could see the plaza. When he found it, he saw no one there, unusual at this time of day. He ran out of the class room and headed to the opposite, with windows facing the highway. He could see cars, crashed into each other, and tipped over trucks. There was smoke everywhere.
"Someone call 911," he heard someone say.
"I can't get a signal, there's nothing!"
Arion ran down stares to the teacher's lounge and reached for the door handle. After hesitation, he opened it, and saw spilled yogurt on the floor. The TV was static. What is going on, he thought.
He ran outside the building, just as multiple hundred kids were pouring out as well. He decided he'd go back to his house to see if his parents were there.
[Blake]
This is life!
Blake walked gleefully towards the cafeteria, with his hands behind his head. He scooped up some food and dropped it into a bowl, then walked around eating. He sat down on a chair next to the window, staring at the parked jeeps in the parking area. His plan was to go down to Perdido Beach and take control.
"Hey, what the hell are you doing in my seat?!?" This was a 12th grade. He pushed Blake out of the seat, then threw the seat at him.
Luckily Blake had enough reflexes to dodge the seat. "Watch who you're messing with, fool!" He picked up the chair using his telekinesis, and threw it back at the guy, twice the power. He got hit square in the chest, and was sent flying out the window to the car park. Blake started laughing.
"This is MY school, now! Everyone will listen to ME!"
[Joshua]
Josh walked towards the school's doors, with balled fists. He was angry, and he wanted revenge. As he touched the door handles, he heard a voice behind him, demanding what had just happened. He turned around, and yelled, "Some stupid idiot just threw a running lawn mower at me, that's what just happened! Now bug off!"
Josh was well aware that he was two years younger than the guy, but walked off and opened the doors to the school, heading towards the cafeteria, hoping to smash the guy in the guts.
Name: Red Williams. Age: 16. Gender: Female. Birthdate: October 17th.
Appearance: Red is a very small, petite girl. She stands at only five foot, shorter than most other girls her age. She was named for her striking red hair, which flows down her back in a firey waterfall. Perhaps one of the most noticable points on her face are her large, emerald eyes. The only markings on her face are a spattering of light freckles across her nose and cheeks. Her skin is very tanned and browned from the California sun, as a result of her going swimming very often, as her family owned a pool.
Red has a very slender figure, narrow hips and a small chest. She dresses in average feminine clothes; mainly dresses and skirts rather than trousers. Her favourite colours are white and green, so most of her clothes are those.
Personality: A bit shy; Red's the kind of girl who fades into background easily. Thanks to this quality, she has had very little romantic experience. She wishes for friends, but doesn't have many. She is very intelligent and quick-witted, but generally submissive - certainly not a natural leader.
Starting Location: School. Power: Invisibility. Can turn completely invisible, much like Bug from the books.
Backstory: Born into an a very boring family, Red has had very little exciting life experiences so far. Her father was an executive, working in the company who owned various nuclear power assets, including the power plant in Perdido Beach. Her mother was a stay at home parent. She is an only child, and as a result she has had a lonely childhood. She has had no experience using her power yet, and has no idea it exists. She has been in Perdido Beach school all her life.
She loves art and swimming, and has been in lessons for both since a young age. She loves to draw, sketch and paint in her free time, and often carries around a sketchpad. She hopes to be an artist when she is older.
Suggestions: Nope. Other: I just hope the FAYZ will be nice to my character... Also, I may submit another application for a Coates kid. Maybe two. Yay, characters!
The problem with my backstory is, she hasn't really done anything. So, very little exciting events in her backstory,
Arion Hunter
Age:
16
Appearance:
I'll put up an image after I post this.
Personality:
Brave, friendly, nice, modest, doesn't like too much attention. Tends to be a natural leader, but refuses it.
Birthdate:
May 8th
Starting Location:
Perdido Beach School
Power:
The ability to create light beams. He can change the temperature of the light from luke warm to sun hot, however, the light itself doesn't radiate heat other than it's own particles. He can make the light float in the air or send a beam in a certain direction. Since the light can reach the Sun's temperatures, it can burn right through most metal. The light itself is a blue colour, that gets whiter as it gets to the center of the light. It's about 5 inches in diameter, but the actual burning light is 3 inches. (For any who's read the books you'll know this is Sam's power, don't care if I don't have originality.) The power is a 4 bar.
Backstory (At least 1 paragraph):
On the boat, the gang leader looked right at Arion's dad. "Been a while, huh?" His dad spat at the gang leader's feet. He got slapped with a glove in return. "I do believe this was just painted. Not very polite. I've been tracking you, Zak. I wanted to return the favour from this," the gang leader said, pointing at his eye patch. "So, I'm guessing this is your son? What would you do if we threw him over board?"
"No, you wouldn't do that!" Zak shouted.
"Why not?" The gang leader made a hand signal to a random sailor and they grabbed Arion's chair, then kicked him off the side of the vessel.
"NO!" Shouted Zak. He then looked back to the gang leader and balled up his tied fists. "You're going to pay for that!"
Arion fell into the water, and started to sink. However, his hands were free as the rope untightened, and he simply swam back up. He found a small metal ladder that he could use to climb onto the side of the ship. When he got up, he saw his dad about to get kicked, and Arion shouted "NO!" , palm raised, as if to say "stop" with his hand. However, as he shouted, a small blue beam of light hit the sailor's hand. His hand now had a 1 inch wide hole in his palm, without blood pouring out because the heat had sealed the wound already. The sailor started screaming in pain, yelling, "The kid shot me! The kid shot me!" Arion looked at his palms, his eyes wide open. There were no burn marks or anything on his palms. His dad also looked at Arion in awe. Arion quickly ran to him, and picked up a knife that must've been dropped by the sailor, then started to cut the rope.
The gange leader shouted, "Stop them! Now!" but Arion had already finished cutting the rope, and he threw the knife at the gang leader, hitting his thigh. Arion and his dad jumped off the boat and started to swim to their boat, about 10 meters away. There were sounds of gun shots, and splashes of water around them, but they managed to get to the boat safely. They started the engine and drifted away, but the vessel was faster and caught up.
"Use that weird thing you did before!" Zak shouted over the wind.
"I don't know what I did!" Arion replied.
"Just try!"
Arion held his palm out again, trying to do what he did before, but failing. His power wasn't developed enough and he wasn't used to it. It seemed like it activated in panic. All of a sudden, a large gatling gun started shooting at them. "Try now!" Zak shouted.
Arion yelled, "Stop!" and held his palm out. It worked. A small beam shot out his palm and hit the bottom of the boat. A small 1 inch hole was now sitting on the side, and if you angled yourself you could see it go right through the boat. Water started to seep in, and the boat started to slow. The boat then started to lean forward, nose facing the water. A
"I'll get you, Zak!" shouted the gang leader. Arion and his father reached Perdido Beach, and stayed quiet about the little incident. Arion didn't use the power ever since, until the present day.
During one normal school day, while Arion was day dreaming about home, there was a fire alarm sound at the school. Everyone ran outside and watched fire erupt from one of the school classrooms, a grade 1 classroom. Teachers were discussing about how no one should've been in there, but then there was wailing. Arion heared that the smoke killed you more than fire, and the classroom was almost completely air tight. Arion ran inside the school, hearing shouts of "Wait! We called 911!" but he simply replied, "Whoever's in there's going to die before they get here!"
He ran in with his shirt over his nose, and ran to the burning classroom. He started to smash the door, with no luck. He then tried opening it, and the door opened without resistance. Arion facepalmed himself, then instantly gut ingulfed in smoke. He was forced onto his hands and knees, and as he crawled in he found a little girl who was unconscious, with a lighter in his hand. Next to her was a 10th grade report card. He pulled the girl out of the classroom and managed to get her out the doors. The teachers ran to her and picked her up, and was about to say how dangerous that was to Arion, but he was back inside. He grabbed a fire extinguisher and managed to put out all the flames, before the fire fighters arrived.
He walked outside, and the fire fighters were all praising him, and giving him pats. He ended up on the newspaper, although he didn't really want to be. Everyone in the school knew him, but he tried to stay hidden, wearing normal clothes to prevent looks.
The police found out that the little girl's big brother had gotten the girl to burn his report card, and he was frowned upon, and sent to Coates Academy.
Suggestions (Optional):
I dunno, dude.
Other:
He kind of disappeared after the fire event, and tried to stay hidden, as he didn't like all the attention, so most just ended up forgetting about it.

Beneath the crest was the Latin motto of Coates Academy: Ad augusta, per angusta. To high places by narrow roads. He wore a white button-up shirt underneath. He had a tie on, diagonally striped red and black, with a small gold line seperating the red and the black. Apart from all that he wore the school's black trousers, with black leather shoes. (Coates requires uniform)

Coates Academy
Power:
(Screw it, Caine's power. I don't care if I don't have originality, go away :p) Telekinesis. He can carry, move and send objects in all sorts of directions, up to 30 feet. He can only focus on two objects max, though, one in each hand.
Backstory:
Blake was born in Las Vegas, Nevada. His mother died when he was born and his father is a drug addict and an alcoholic, who spends most of his money in the casinos. Eventually, Blake got sick of his dad who kept abusing him and hurting him, so he ran away. Managing to hitch-hike truck drivers, he got around the USA until he reached West USA, California.
He was adopted by a family while he was walking around the streets, and he went to an ordinary school like everyone else. However, he got attacked by bullies at school, but Blake brought his pocket knife and started attacking them. He was sent to Coates Academy, which is where he is to this present day.
One day, he realised he had the power. He was stopped by a bunch of idiots in the boys dorm, and he said "Talk to the hand" and shoved his hand in their face as he walked off. This acted as an invisible fist punched the guy, and he ran off crying. Blake kept his power in secret, figuring out a way to use it to his advantage, and that's when the "Big Poof" happened, and he was all of a sudden in the FAYZ.

His shorts were black.
Personality:
He's a psychopath. He doesn't show it though. He'll have some kind of evil grin on his face most of the time. He hates everyone but himself. He especially hates women, and their "annoying voices", which is why he is hated by female students at Coates.
Birthdate:
October 13th

Backstory:
Josh was born in San Francisco, (Is that in California?)to a wild man and a sane woman. His father was a construction worker. His mother left when he was 4, and divorced his father. His father would smoke a lot, and always go out hunting. He had a hunting license for rifles, but he brought out rifles, pistols, shotguns, all sorts of guns when hunting. He brings Josh with him every time. Josh eventually excelled in operating fire-arms, and got lots of game for it. One day, he decided to deliver payback to a guy who annoyed him by calling him a retard, so he snuck out with his dad's pistol in hand, and shot the poor guy in the knee. His dad had enough money to send him to Coates Academy, instead of Josh going to Juvenile Prison.
Suggestions:
Nah, dude.
Other:
The FAYZ was like a blessing to Josh. No adults to tell him not to brutally torture kids for sadistic pleasure.
((We start... Oh wait the "Big Poof" just happened a second ago. Better start then.))
There.
Gone.
No "poof". No flash of light. No explosion.
Arion Hunter was sitting in third-period history class staring blankly at the blackboard, but far away in his head. In his head he was hiking in the mountains, he and his dad. Up along the trails, climbing those rocks, shouting, engulfing the fantastic view they had of Perdido Beach.
For a moment he thought he had imagined it, the teacher disappearing. For a moment he thought he'd slipped into a daydream.
Arion turned to Ben, who sat just to his left.
"You saw that, right?"
Ben was staring hard at the place where the teacher had been.
"Um, where's Mr. Trentlake?" It was Sophia, a girl who wasn't too social.
"He must have left," Ben said, not sounding like he believed it.
Keith, a new kid Arion found potentially interesting, said, "No, man. Poof." He did a thing with his fingers that was a pretty good illustration of the concept.
Kids were staring at each other, craning their necks this way and that, giggling nervously. No one was scared. No one was crying. The whole situation seemed kind of funny.
"Mr. Trentlake poofed?" said Ben, with a suppressed giggle in his voice.
Arion got up, and walked to the door, with a couple eyes on him. He opened it and stared out in the hallway. Multiple kids' heads were also poked out the doorways.
He walked over to the windows and stared hard out into the distance.
((I think the only other person in Arion's class is Edward))
She wasn't used to being by herself, her mom usually took her everywhere, she did not like it too much. She waited around for a while, before finally going to a neighbors house, Mrs and Mr Kell's, knocking on the door, they were an elderly couple but they were nice to her, she did not receive an answer, though their car was also parked, and they only had the one. She went to a few more neighbors houses, and no answers from them, she even tried a strangers house. At this point she was scared and alone, so she began to go where she didn't like, but she knew where people were bound to be, the school, it was a school day of course.
((this is over the course of two hours, so I might not post again until about that time has passed))
The pencil rolled left and right, and yet not a single thing touched it. Blake was using his newly found power of telekinesis to move the pencil back an forth. He wasn't paying attention to anything Mr. Devan was saying, although he knew it was something about trigonometry. He decided to look up at the board. Mr. Devan was writing stuff about Soh Cah Toa, although Blake had no clue, and he had no idea why he should care.
Then Mr. Devan disappeared.
Blake was staring right at him.
One moment there, the next, emptiness.
The chalk dropped to the floor as Mr. Devan wrote Tangent (Opposite / Ang--
The word "angle" had a half written "l".
Blake stared hard at the empty space. He looked around, and much to his sanity, everyone was doing the same. But for safe measure, he pinched himself. He wasn't day-dreaming.
"Mr. Devan?" This was Ashley who spoke. No one replied.
"What just happened?" This time Sean spoke. Blake got up and waved his hand in the area Mr. Devan was standing in, but there was no resistance. He opened the door to the hallway. Multiple kids were pouring out of the classrooms, all whispering similar things, all related to vanishing teachers, just like Mr. Devan. Blake ran around the school to check for any teachers. He didn't find any teachers, or groundskeeping staff, or any adults, in fact. He stood, thinking about it, then, he began to smile. He was no longer held back by rules and punishment. He started to grin. He threw his hands in the air and laughed, sending a running lawn mower flying in the air. He could now fulfil his desire to control people as their ruler.
[Joshua]
"SCORE!!"
Josh yelled his victory and ran around the school's stadium, shouting and jumping and tripping over, and repeating. He had just finished a game of football and his team won.
"Give me the ball, Josh." That was Mr. Griffins. He was Josh's sports teacher.
"Get it yourself, fool."
"That's no way to speak to your teacher! You'll get me that ball or you'll be going to Principal Grace!"
Josh sighed, picked up the ball and threw it hard at Mr. Griffin. But it never made contact with him. As the ball flew threw the air, Mr. Griffin simply vanished, and the ball bounced away.
"Anybody else see that?"
His team was already walking away, but one looked back and said, "What?"
However Josh didn't need to answer. Mr. Griffin wasn't standing there, and he wasn't anywhere in the stadium.
"Mr. Griffin's gone. I saw him vanish," Josh said.
"Yeah right, he probably just ran off."
"We'd still be able to see him. He's gone."
"You're insane."
"Say that again and I'll snap your back like a twig, idiot!"
"Calm down. He'll be in the locker room."
"Whatever," Josh replied. He was tall for a 14 year old, and could easily beat each one of them in a fight, but against a whole lot would be tough. He walked back to the locker room with the rest of the team.
"Do you see him here? I saw him vanish!" Josh said in persistence.
"Oh just shut the h-" the team player was interrupted, an 8th grader ran in shouting, "The teachers are gone! The teachers are GONE!! Free food at the cafeteria!!"
The boy ran off again, leaving a smirking Josh.
"What did I tell you, I saw him vanish."
"Just a little brat. Doesn't mean nothing."
"I don't care, I'm getting free food!" Josh ran off to the cafeteria. However, as he ran, a running lawn mower smashed to pieces next to him, as it fell from the sky. No longer was it running. He saw an 11th grader standing 20 feet away, with his hands raised. The guy walked into the main building, and Josh followed for revenge.
Edward was taking notes he had to if he planned to pass, unfortunately he just didn't have the stamina and passed out shortly after beginning notes. But a sudden nudging coaxed him into consciousness, slowly picking his head up, blinking repetitively for a few seconds he noticed everyone just a little more excited, and the absence of the teacher. After making sure to let his yawn out he began to speak up. "Where's Mr. Trentlake?" Edward received his answer as various other classmates spoke up or talked about it somewhere else in the room. "Gone? Poof? Are you serious?" Edward was sure he was being conned, after all how hard could it be to trick the sleeping guy? Noticing another member of his class leave Edward began to follow, peaking his head out of the room he noticed many others had the same exact idea. Continuing his way out of his class he noticed many other students peaking out, moving towards he nearest window he noticed a small crowd gathering. Looking out towards the distance he could see cars stalled along various roads, and smoke far away in the background.
Arion stared out the window, trying to see if he could see the plaza. When he found it, he saw no one there, unusual at this time of day. He ran out of the class room and headed to the opposite, with windows facing the highway. He could see cars, crashed into each other, and tipped over trucks. There was smoke everywhere.
"Someone call 911," he heard someone say.
"I can't get a signal, there's nothing!"
Arion ran down stares to the teacher's lounge and reached for the door handle. After hesitation, he opened it, and saw spilled yogurt on the floor. The TV was static.
What is going on, he thought.
He ran outside the building, just as multiple hundred kids were pouring out as well. He decided he'd go back to his house to see if his parents were there.
[Blake]
This is life!
Blake walked gleefully towards the cafeteria, with his hands behind his head. He scooped up some food and dropped it into a bowl, then walked around eating. He sat down on a chair next to the window, staring at the parked jeeps in the parking area. His plan was to go down to Perdido Beach and take control.
"Hey, what the hell are you doing in my seat?!?" This was a 12th grade. He pushed Blake out of the seat, then threw the seat at him.
Luckily Blake had enough reflexes to dodge the seat. "Watch who you're messing with, fool!" He picked up the chair using his telekinesis, and threw it back at the guy, twice the power. He got hit square in the chest, and was sent flying out the window to the car park. Blake started laughing.
"This is MY school, now! Everyone will listen to ME!"
[Joshua]
Josh walked towards the school's doors, with balled fists. He was angry, and he wanted revenge. As he touched the door handles, he heard a voice behind him, demanding what had just happened. He turned around, and yelled, "Some stupid idiot just threw a running lawn mower at me, that's what just happened! Now bug off!"
Josh was well aware that he was two years younger than the guy, but walked off and opened the doors to the school, heading towards the cafeteria, hoping to smash the guy in the guts.
Name: Red Williams.
Age: 16.
Gender: Female.
Birthdate: October 17th.
Appearance: Red is a very small, petite girl. She stands at only five foot, shorter than most other girls her age. She was named for her striking red hair, which flows down her back in a firey waterfall. Perhaps one of the most noticable points on her face are her large, emerald eyes. The only markings on her face are a spattering of light freckles across her nose and cheeks. Her skin is very tanned and browned from the California sun, as a result of her going swimming very often, as her family owned a pool.
Red has a very slender figure, narrow hips and a small chest. She dresses in average feminine clothes; mainly dresses and skirts rather than trousers. Her favourite colours are white and green, so most of her clothes are those.
Personality: A bit shy; Red's the kind of girl who fades into background easily. Thanks to this quality, she has had very little romantic experience. She wishes for friends, but doesn't have many. She is very intelligent and quick-witted, but generally submissive - certainly not a natural leader.
Starting Location: School.
Power: Invisibility. Can turn completely invisible, much like Bug from the books.
Backstory: Born into an a very boring family, Red has had very little exciting life experiences so far. Her father was an executive, working in the company who owned various nuclear power assets, including the power plant in Perdido Beach. Her mother was a stay at home parent. She is an only child, and as a result she has had a lonely childhood. She has had no experience using her power yet, and has no idea it exists. She has been in Perdido Beach school all her life.
She loves art and swimming, and has been in lessons for both since a young age. She loves to draw, sketch and paint in her free time, and often carries around a sketchpad. She hopes to be an artist when she is older.
Suggestions: Nope.
Other: I just hope the FAYZ will be nice to my character... Also, I may submit another application for a Coates kid. Maybe two. Yay, characters!
The problem with my backstory is, she hasn't really done anything. So, very little exciting events in her backstory,
))
