A brand new group is on the making, The Apostles, a Pillar-like group led by none other than our brand new headmaster, Gregoire Girard. A student body that would lead students and enforce the law on this little school of ours. Little is still known about this student body, but who knows? It might just be what the school needs.

A lunch box is seen last Friday, around 12:37:08pm with an encouraging note packed inside. This appalling display that utterly lacked manliness has left many students stunned and outrage, as some decided, after a long while, to speak out against it.
Full Story Here.

“Men in general judge more from appearances than from reality. All men have eyes, but few have the gift of penetration.” -- Niccolo Machiavelli<< Appearance >>GeneralTerra has a well trimmed and toned, slim body type it makes her desirable for the opposite sex yet she has no desire to flaunt herself for them. Her muscles are clearly defined as she prides herself on working out. Terra is always keeping herself in top physical form especially with her line of dealings and her combat style. It requires a decent amount of strength and endurance. She has long thick dark blue locs that cascade down her back; lightly layered. Her styling varies but it's usually kept in a rather unique styling that could come across as a messy yet neat manner. (Look at first post pic for styling.) Terra has the most amazing captivating piercing green eyes. Her olive skin tone and hair color makes them pop even more, coupled by full soft lips.
Markings/Piercings
Terra has a few piercings one being on her lip usually a simple ring. The other being the typical ear piercings though on her right ear she has the top pierced. Often in times it's a earring with a cuff attachment. She also has two tattoos.
Attire
Terra's style is fairly simple. A simple tank, pants and combat boots are fine by her. She doesn't seem to dress too fancy though unless she has to. Terra definitely has more of a tom boyish styling than super girly. She has her girly days but never anything too 'look at me I'm totally a girl'.

"The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action" -- John Dewey
<< Persona >>
To describe Terra in one word, it would be complex though she may come off a bit simple. Humans have a wide range of feelings, emotions and reactions. No human can truly say that they are simple. Terra certainly cannot say that she is simple. Though her complex being is what sets her apart nonetheless; it makes her who she is. Terra has been through some rough times throughout her years of living which has shaped who she is today. Even with the rough times that lay in her past or maybe even more in the path ahead of her, she still finds a way to be cheerful at times; to have some kind of fun. After all she can’t be depressed and angry all the time; well technically she could but that would make her such a dull person to be around. Terra has done some things she might not be the proudest about but she does what she needs to in order to live and survive. Nico is unaware of her dealings and she prefers to keep it as such. He means too much to her and it's part of why she does what she does for him, for them. Though Terra has a very mama bear likeness about her. Family and friends garnish her veil of protection before others as well as children. This is rather interesting considering her affiliations. But that's what makes her complications greater. There is a piece of her that seems to lean towards the violent tendencies on and off. The rhyme or reason might be a tad unknown but it has partially to do with her line of dealings. She really doesn't want to hurt an individual but yet there is just something that crawls inside her that whispers otherwise. It's a constant struggle within. There are times where she does have her slight regrets regarding certain things. But she continues to move forward not allowing her demons to bury her. Even though she is rather honest, occasionally blunt and straight forward; one thing that she isn’t open about is her feelings and her past. Those that are close to her know how loyal and protective she is. She refuses to allow anything to happen to those who are dear to her. She rather be the one to take the pain than anyone of her friends. Truthfully the only way to know her even in the slightest is to meet her.

"“The absence of willpower, the most complete collection of virtues and talents is wholly worthless.” -- Aleister Crowley
< < Combat > >
Styling's in use: Combat Sambo. Dim Mak. Krav Maga. Escrima. CQC. Weapons Styles: Gun Fu (Gun Kata), Knife Work, Tonfa's, Escrima
Terra maybe a pretty girl, but she is also a fierce competitor. It may not look like it, but she enjoys a good fight. Taking that factor into consideration, she doesn't like her bouts to end so quickly. Though most of her strikes are quick and sharp. She switches things up from grappling and striking. She incorporates her different styles allowing for freestyle ways to create her own form of combat. Not to mention the fact that she does carry knowledge about the human antimony. Terra likes to be an in your face fighter, but she isn't stupid enough to keep charging into the situation and never create some form of space from time to time.
If she feels like she's losing some kind of control of how things are being played out, she will try to create some distance between her and her opponent. But it wouldn't be too significant just something minor for her to quickly reset herself. The control factor though is more towards herself for there are times she could get a little carried away forgetting it's merely a spar. Survival instincts tend to kick in and flesh out her more brutal ways. She also takes the usage of quick and precise striking. Terra is known to have one hell of a vice grip. No one wants to get caught my her. She doesn't stupidly waste her energy on moving unnecessarily. Sometimes one has to remain stationary for a decent amount of time for whatever reason. Terra is a fast thinker and a great observer. Terra never acts before she thinks.
Strengths
Terra has great reaction time both physically and mentally. She can observe the situation and think swiftly on the fly about the best possible option to take. Most of her strikes are quick and precise, considering she knows where to strike if she wishes to go for a much more critical blow. Her grappling is a danger. Again considering she knows where and how to strike, they become slightly stronger than usual. Not to mention using her speed to add onto the blow, and/or twisting her hips would help. Her body can also take a decent amount of abuse.
Weaknesses
Though Terra can withstand a decent amount of abuse on her body, she is still human. Take away her ability to move and she's becomes a bit more vulnerable naturally. Sometimes she feels she could lose control in a fight and hurt someone more than intended.

"It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.” -- Alan Cohen
< < Life is a Journey > >
'They reside in my crowded thoughts, and have made room there…. It always starts in ways that seem harmless: My demons though quiet, are never quite silenced. Calm as they may be, they wait patiently for a reason to wake, take an overdue breath…. and crawl back into my ear. And the thing about chaos, while it disturbs me, it too, forces my heart to roar in a way I secretly find magnificent.'
-- Imani Code 'Chaos Dancing in my Ears' A beautiful poem. A poem so simplistic yet it spoke volumes. Everyone had their demons. Those that were lucky to be currently exempt from such things were the blessed few. But luck only lasted but so long didn't it? There was no light without shadow nor shadow without light. Terra understood this concept very well. She had demons lurking within her and trailing her every step with each passing day. Her life wasn't perfect and never once had she ever pretended to have such a one. Not everyone gets to live the typical normal life, but what is normal anyways? A mere delusion that society concocted to try and maintain some form of control. To try and label people - things - they just simply do not understand. That's when the fear kicks in. The fear of the unknown. Isn't that it after all? When something is not understand, seems different the only option is to fear it and destroy it, right? To kill it where it stands rather than deal with it. Rather than make a true attempt to have a better grasp on it. No, that's not what people do. It's in everyone's nature at some point or another to just quickly shun and discard. Was Terra any different? When it came to herself solely not really. The darker parts of herself that she felt caused a uneasiness within her. One had to confront the darker parts of themselves sooner or later correct? Everything follows you. Nothing is inescapable no matter how much you don't want to admit it. Can't win every fight for eventually you will lose, but it depends on the individual whether that loss would be great or small.
Born, Terra Alianovna Romanov, to Sancia and Aleksander Romanov she is the eldest of two with Nico being born about a year after herself. Safe to say with the passage of time Terra would always be the one looking out for her younger brother; playing a sister and motherly figure. An extra role she wouldn't have had to play if it wasn't for the supposed abandonment of her mother later in their life. But she accepted her role because Nico was her world. Their bond was as deep as family could go. Blood is thicker than water applied very heavily to the duo. By the older sibling standard she felt it was her duty to protect him when she was able to. At any cost. It was something easy to say but harder done. How far would she had gone for him? That was the test and it presented itself at some point within their lives. For years their lives were filled with bumps along the road as anyone else's unless of course that were more fortunate to have a smooth sailing. What either of her parents did for a living was unbeknownst to Terra and if she was honest she was too busy attempting to enjoy her childhood all the while being forced to grow up faster to keep an ever watchful eye on Nico. Eight years old and she was well capable of cooking full meals without any assistance. There were a lot of times it was just Nico and herself in the house so she had to be the adult.
When she was nine years old their mother, Sancia, abandoned them. Could Terra honestly have been too sad about it? That was debatable. Between the two Terra could say she was slightly more closer to her mother. Yes for the most part Terra had to do a lot that her mother should've but when she was around she was active enough in their lives. More so than their father ever had been. Nico often tried to via for their father's attention to no prevail. Aleksander was the most distant between the two. There were things their mother taught them so honestly she wasn't a hard woman to love. She wasn't cruel but she just wasn't around as much as they would've liked. So her abandonment or disappearance was a ball of mixed feelings for the young girl and her brother. At first Terra didn't want to believe their mother just up and abandoned them but Aleksander made it a point to place that thought heavily in their minds. Nico always being the hothead took it strongly to heart and believed instantly. Terra was left in a world of uncertainty and considering her age it was rather difficult to truly process all those emotions and feelings at once. Her choice was to slightly accept it while holding onto a small belief that it wasn't true. But what was better to believe? That their mother had abandoned them and could possibly still be alive or that she was possibly dead somewhere. Neither seemed like that ideal scenario.
It only took about a year or so before the inevitable abuse started. The typical drunken spiteful parent taking their problems out on their children. The children always had to suffer for the faults or sins of the parent right? However Nico was not going to have the physical abuse fall upon him, Terra would not allow it. Terra made the choice to draw the attention of her father to her and endure his occasional beatings, consisting of tossing her around or slapping her. Nico was never present to truly see. He often wondered where some of her bruises came from and when he questioned she would say it was a fight at school. It wasn't so far-fetched as she did get into fights every now and again usually defending her brother or defending herself from ignorant bullies. Another year went by with the abuse continuing yet it was about to be taken to a different level. One day it did but she endured, but the day he brought over a friend and she heard the mention of wanting her brother she lost all sense and control. Nico was not home at the occurrence when Terra unleashed a fury and rid them of their father and the man. Finding her brother quickly she declared they had to go. They had to just leave and so they did. But it wasn't long before Mr. Dryagin found them and that became a different tale.
[Redacted years]
Older and wiser. Terra lives a life with her brother accompanying him to join a particular group cause she wasn't allowing it with her. Truth be told she likes most of the bunch. Now Nico and Terra had been attending another school for a bit but since a few of their fellow members had been attending the halls of 552 Terra made a choice to join them. She felt it was better they stick together as much as possible while remaining slightly apart. Besides more eyes on things.

< < Item Info > > + Consumables +
-- Sunburst Energy Drink: +15 DEX for one post. This energy drink is pending FDA approval… It’s probably better not to ask what’s inside of it. Disappears after being used.
-- Roll of Quarters: +15 STR for one post. You swore to god you only had this to do laundry. You claim you don’t know how someone’s blood got on it. Disappears after being used.
-- Yuy Cosmos Gear Smartwatch Prototype: This is a prototype smartwatch you found in a dumpster outside of Yuy Corp. Why would they throw a gem like this away? Oh yeah, probably because the battery is too volatile. If the user makes contact with a target using their right hand, they can stun both the user and the target for one post. Neither player is able to make any movement for one post. Disappears after being used.
-- Chibi Ninja Panda Warrior: This portable ninja panda fits in your pocket! For a single post, this tiny ninja comes out and pushes your opponent over.
-- PROTOTYPE:: XV Serum: The user may distribute an increase of 20 stat points to both mental stats in any way they choose. When in use, he or she may cast up to one T1, T2, and T3 Qi or Ability free of cost. Lasts for three rounds.
-- Mist Pellet : This concentrated pellet of FEAR toxin grants strange new abilities to the user. When ingested, contact a member of staff to roll a d20. Randomized effect based on dice roll.
-- Prop Skeleton: You had this in your pocket for some reason! It falls out, scaring your opponent. Inflicts a single target with -5 Wis, while simultaneously granting the user with +5 to all physical stats for a four rounds.
-- Pumpkin Pi: This pumpkin pie, in the shape of pumpkin pi, is unreasonably delicious! When eaten, the user recovers from all minor injuries received within the last three rounds (minor cuts, bruises, etc.) OR completely recovers all energy exerted within the last three rounds. Additionally, grants the user +10 Int for the following three rounds.
-- Enormous Turkey Leg: Eating this giant turkey leg wildly invigorates you! Or, you can beat someone with it to traumatize him or her, whichever you prefer. When eaten IC, this turkey leg grants the user with +10 to all physical stats for three rounds. However, because it's big and you now feel fat, you suffer from -5 to all physical stats for the following three rounds. Or, you can bonk someone on the head with it and inflict a single target with -10 Dex for three rounds. When eaten or used as a weapon, this item disappears.
-- Coleslaw Bomb: Nobody likes coleslaw. Nobody, and that is the very reason this nefarious contraption came to be. This bomb explodes into a mess of the worst side-dish imaginable when it makes contact with any surface. Everything within a 10 foot radius from the point of impact is covered in a slimy mess! All parties caught in the explosion become slippery for three rounds. This includes sliding along the surface they walk on, and strikes can slip off of their intended targets. Likewise, strikes can slip off of them as well. Does not need to be treated as actual coleslaw. We understand.
+ Permanent Consumables +
-- Beatles Album: (Permanent Consumable) This record is priceless. Unfortunately you decided to use it as a Frisbee. Does 30 points of damage if it makes contact with the enemy. Moves at a speed equal to the thrower’s STR. Can only be used once per thread.
-- Boom Box: (Permanent Consumable) Turn up the turbo-base! What happened next was a total disgrace! Launch a concentrated, projectile, visible pulse sound wave. Sound wave does 30 points of damage if it makes contact with the enemy. Moves at a speed equal to the user’s INT. Can only be used once per thread.
-- Super Handy Mirror: (Permanent Consumable) Once per thread, the user can create a reflection of themselves to distract the opponent! This reflection mirrors the user's actions, but cannot physically harm, or be physically harmed, as it is not real.
-- The Normonomicon: (Permanent Consumable) Much unlike the Necronomicon, the Normonomicon... works! Only it doesn't have any effect on the dead! Once per thread, the user may completely neutralize any status effects on their character. This includes not only debuffs, but all buffs and qi effects as well. No other consumables, ability items, or qi, may be used in this round.
-- Pumpkin Head: (Permanent Consumable ) Once per thread, the user can pull out a pumpkin head to shove onto a selected target! If successful, they may, in the next round, smash the pumpkin to daze the target for one turn. Does not work if the opponent removes the pumpkin head beforehand. Requires physical contact to use.
-- PROTOTYPE XV Injection: (Permanent Consumable) Once per thread, the user can power up the output of one Qi or item ability to the next tier (i.e. T1 with T2 power, etc.), or lower the cost of one ability by one tier (i.e. T2 power with T1 cost). Power boost only applies to tiers one through four. Lower cost only applies to tiers two through five.
-- Christmas Lights: The very second midnight hit on Thanksgiving night, your neighbor put up these Christmas lights. So you tore them down because it was still too early. Once per thread, the user may flash these lights in the eyes of a single target to disorient him or her. Upon successfully disorienting a chosen target, this person sees double for the next round.
