Akori Academy for a Better Future (Reboot)

I feel like sumbitting my orginal concept...

Anyways, is the ability to come back to life (and pretty much nothing else I suppose) overpowered?
 
Full Name: Jack Holloway
Alias: Umbra
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Despite his newly acquired abilities Jack's appearance remains relatively unchanged. Standing at average height with a lanky build he wouldn't seem like the intimidating type. However, the steely gaze that emanates from his cool, blue eyes coupled with his wry grin is enough to convince even the largest of individuals to steer clear. His short, light brown hair is worn forward, brushed off to the side and his face is kept clean shaven to reveal his sharp jawline and full lips.

Powers:

-Umbrakinesis/Erebokinesis: Jack's powers stem from his ability to control and manipulate darkness. This, of course, has a number of different applications:
-Darkness Generation: the power to generate shadows and darkness.
-Darkness Manipulation: The most obvious of Jack's abilities is the power to control or "bend" darkness or shadows to his will. This, of course, has it's limitations and is most often used as a form of camouflage as he can bend shadows around himself to blend into the darkness.
-Darkness Healing: similarly to elemental healing Jack can heal mild wounds or simply reinvigorate himself when he is in the dark
-Darkness Adaptation: Jack's senses are adapted to the dark and are thus augmented when in the dark.
-Shadow Travel: Jack's most untrained ability is the power to travel through shadows, similarly to teleportation. However, he has only done so once and it was entirely accidental so this ability is quite experimental.

Personality:

Jack is, in one word, a loner. He is very reserved and comes off as aloof, seemingly disinterested in the world around him. However, Jack is considerably intelligent and uses this intelligence to manipulate those around him. This is only a fraction of his immoral disposition which stems from his broken childhood compounded by his self-destructive tendencies. In addition to his manipulative nature Jack masks his low self-esteem with a cocky, self-assured attitude used to deceive himself as much as others. As a subconscious self-defense mechanism, Jack seems to separate himself from his alter ego, which he often refers to as the Shadowman, as if they are not one and the same.

Backstory:

Jack's past is wrought with tragedy beginning at his birth, which resulted in the death of his mother. Neglected by his alcoholic father who blamed him for his mother's death Jack never really found a place where he belonged. Mental illness crept into his life in spurts of depression, frequent anxiety, and even kleptomania yet his mind didn't fully snap until, after being attacked by a kid from school, a young Jack lashed out with all of his pent up anger, releasing a shadowy tendril which impaled the boy. Jack kept the incident under wraps yet he was never the same and the kill ate away at him, leading to self-destructive habits such as drug use. Eventually, overwhelmed with shame, Jack ran away from home and lived off of the streets. He stole what little he lived off of and practiced using his powers in solitude, obsessed with learning to control the powers that led him astray. Once he stumbled upon the Akori Academy Jack took the opportunity to get off the streets and live with others like himself. Now he hopes to gain control over his abilities, although he still can't seem to shake the memory of that first kill... and how powerful he felt.

Yeah feel free to join. Things are slow, but if you want to jon feel free. I'll close the RP after you three.

Emory your character looks good, though I have to ask, does his powers have a limit or range? As 'the darkness' can be extremely vague. Is it only things like shadows and the absence of light? And if not can you explain it to me a bit more.

Yes, it's basically limited to shadows or areas where there is an absence of light (i.e. a dark alleyway). Thus his abilities would be very limited in a bright area though with practice he might be able to generate a bit of dark energy similar to how an elemental can generate their element.
 
Full Name: Ellen Mallory
Alias: Phoenix
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Appearance: Ellen is a short, heavy child, at 155cm and 56kg. She maintains a rectangular body shape and a somewhat large build. Ellen has a chubby face with dark brown eyes and chestnut hair usually tied up in a messy bun. Let down, her hair is around the rib cage length, and has a bit of pink on the edges. The slight pink and her darker eyes are the only signs of mutation. Ellen's choice of clothing is dressy, usually like a dark dress reaching the knees or a purple gown reaching the ankles.

Powers: Ellen has only one power, To be effectively immortal by being able to come back from death. To counteract this power, she can still feel pain and death, and she has no offensive ability. If anything, constantly dying weakens her already nonexistent fighting skills, as she feels quite weak after resurrection.While she usually comes back on the spot after an hour or two, Ellen cannot actually control her power very well, as there has been times when she come back far sooner and still had injuries, or she came back in another area.

Personality: Ellen, due to her power, is reckless, cynical and apathetic. She makes no attempts to befriend others and often kills herself on small problems as she knows she'll come back. Even before having the mutation, she was quiet and quite hard to talk to, as she was quite strange and preferred books. However, she is also calm and mature, with an unbreakable will and a strong sense of justice. If she wants something done, she will constantly and passionally pursue it.

While Ellen likely has a sort of mental illness, its recently been confirmed, as she claims that there's always a girl following her that sometimes possesses her. While it's probably just insanity, her conversations with thin air is very believable, and she does, under certain conditions, seem to act like a completely diffrent person.

Backstory: Ellen had a boring childhood. She had a sister who constantly harrassed her due to her quietness, and lived in a isolated house. At school, while never bullied due to her lack of reaction and fear, she was also shunned due to her hermit-like, mature behaviour. However, due to spending all her time in the library, she achieved high marks and was quite knowledgeable.

Then, the incident happened.

One day, during lunch, a fight started out between her and a group over a lunch table, and a food fight began shortly after. During the fight, someone's metal tray was thrown straight at her, and went right into her head, embedded in her skull. The force of the tray killed her for the first time. When the entire cafeteria was looking at her, she resurrected. There was still a hole in her head, but her eyes and hair changing, and the fact that she sat up like nothing happened, Everyone knew she had done the impossible. As her school was very much anti-mutant, she ran away from school, and stayed with her family for the next months, barely going out. While her parents never hated her, they were very freaked out, and avoided being near her. And when there was the news of a mutant academy? They were very willng to let the freak go.
 
Yep, using this gal again. She's kinda my default character for school or superpower roleplays.

@ODSTDRAGON Makes total sense, although to be honest, is there any place in a school involving danger and death?
 
To be fair, there are currently rocks being flung around at near lethal speeds, and at least three characters have extremely lethal abilities. If this goes in the same direction as My Hero Academia, there'll be plenty of potential death to go around.

Toliilian Wundferth
Alias?: Intruder
Age 17
Gender?: Female
Appearance : she prefers to wear a lab coat on order to cover her body. Underneath she wears a tight body suit to protect against chemicals and burns. She has pale skin with red eyes and blood red hair, which she keeps short to be more efficient. Wears rubber boots for insulation
Powers?: she has the power to “Slip”through objects, enabling her to avoid all sorts of dangers and people. This power is not under stood, as this ability seems physically impossible. She can either render her entire body untouchable or parts of it. Luckily the ability is heavily limited. Her entire body is only entangovle for 3 minutes straight if she doesn’t stop at any point. Her extrmities can only be intangible for 5 minutes. To pass through floors she’d losse all sense of direction and if not careful could easily fall to far and end up in a very bad and dangerous prediscamet. She can not see her own body when she phases through floors and becomes completely blind.
Personality: She is a smart kid with a burning curiosity and a desire to solve the worlds problems with science, however she is socially awkward and dense and will take everything at face value missing out on metaphors and double entrandras. She is at least always cheery and happy, as long as her science is disturbed. You’ll find an easy debate, discussion, or even scientific lecture in her.
Backstory?; Tolliilian was born of two serisouly wack parents, her mother a scientist was always mostly upbeat but strict she worked hard on trying to explore the virus that infected the world mostly to no avail. Her Father was a happy goofball and mostly a mooron who could make friends with any body. He contracted the virus and may be the source of Toliilian’s own powers. Or she may have gotten them from a sample of The virus clinging to her mother. The result was the same, the baby often phasing through solid objects and always finding some way to escape no matter how much effort was put into keeping the child in one place, such as a crib. Unable to help her Daughter with her powers Toliilian’s mother sent her to specialized schools that could train her and nourish her mind.

No 2! ( sorry she was just to good to pass up)

Aurona’s body is Wholly unstable,and as such she often appears as a massive electron cloud that will rapidly change based on the environment around her, she has trouble holding herself together for long periods of time and this needs a suit for the hours at school. She can not control what her body takes in and becomes except in the suit, in which the tank acts as a filter for the desired element. ( often Neon or the other Nobel gasses.) with a suit breach she could easily become air, a few days like this and she’d fade away unable to keep Conciousness.the suit is big Bulky, slow , and easy to tear apart with a weapon or gun. She can not become super hot , or super cold elements and must stay at room temperature. She will become a puddle and be unable to keep herself up if she ends up as any of the liquids. And becomes ridgid and hard to move as a solid. Solids are easy to break depending on materials and liquids can be easily evaporated. She takes on the properties of the element she is, and if metal is highly magnetic and easy to heat up and hurt.

Her favorite pass time is tanking up on Neon ditching the suit and stealing around at light speed to make colorful trails and images around wherever she is living. She yearns for freedom but will never be able to obtain it without falling apart or collapsing in on herself . She uses the voice modulator and height changes to mess with other students and to make pop culture references
Backstory: Aurona was born with her powers and as such can’t not turn them on or off they constantly go, and as such her body is always trying to find balance. She stuck out as a sore thumb when she was a child and was aft and easy target for ridicule. This lead to a lower self esteem and always trying to play off situations or use pranks and scares to put the ridicule off on someone else. She has to come to school because she lacks any other options.
