Galyphora: School for the Gifted (New)

Galyphora: School for the Gifted

A school that has been up and running for the past 200 years. Galyphora a school for the gifted has created a civil place for those who are more greatly gifted than the average human. The school provides a safe environment away from those that do not want the gifted involved with their world.
Galyphora's students stay until they can control there gift (the goal usually means up to four to six years). With the most experienced instructors to help each student control their gift this goal is easily reached.
With the world constantly changing there are more and more of the gifted that are inhabiting it.
Most of Galyphora's students are teens that have been captured and sent to the school to keep them off the streets of the "non gifted" so that they are unable to harm others. (Which is usually the case when a Gifted discovers there gift and is unable to control it).
Galyphora takes there students in with open arms and never turns down a "Gifted"
In this world there are the Gifted- the ones that have a special gift that humans normally can not posses. These gifts usually include control over an element, strength, speed, shape shifting, etc. ( you get the point... i hope lol).
And there are the Non- Gifted- the ones that do not have a non human gift. Non- Gifted ones are also called the " Normie's" as a Gifted would like to put it.

Each student gets there own room UNLESS there is another student with the same gift as the other. (Which is hardly ever the case.) Students are kept apart mainly for safety reasons. Students with different gifts require different settings... most of the time. Until a student has a great amount of control over there gift they cannot share dorm rooms. Once both a student and the one they wish to room with have both controlled there gifts and can handle being in each others settings (settings such as usually a student with a gift for fire or heat needs a hotter environment apposed to a student with a gift for cold or ice needs a cooler setting. This is usually the case when a student has not controlled there gift. Once controlled they should be able to deal with any setting) the students may go to the Headmaster and get permission.

Every few months the students are tested on there gifts to see if they've improved. When they first arrive at Galyphora they will be tested to see there starting point. The test is the students monthly exam.

Dorm Buildings:
Each of the students are seperated according to the gift into certain dorm buildings so they most likely won't hurt others. The dorm buildings deal with the settings.

The Natural Dorm: is for students that have simpler gifts such as: telepathy, mind reading, speed, shape shifting... etc.

The Sturdy Dorm: is for students that have a stronger strength or for students who's gift requires more stability.

The Elemental Dorm: is for students that have an element based gift. Such as: Fire, Water (Ice), Air, Earth. The elemental dorm is seperated into the four parts to keep certain parts heated, cool, or enviornmentaly friendly.

The Isolated Dorm: is for students that have a power that requires them to be alone most of the time in order not to hurt others. Such as: Empaths. This also can include students with telepathy, that don't like to have thousands of students thoughts in their mind while there trying to rest.

Felix Redones entered the school; he was a shy nervous child and therefore didn't talk much. He had shaggy brown hair and blue eyes; his skin was tan and there were freckles on his muscular arms. Felix looked like the type of person that would talk a lot; he was generally classified as a jock. As a matter of fact, before he enrolled into Galyphora, Felix was captain of the football team and quarterback. Felix was tall wtih a 6'2 height. As a result of him working out every day in the gym, he was also muscular.
Yes, Felix was a good looking guy. He looked normal on the outside, but once people saw he really was, they would judge him as far from normal as possible. Felix had a strange and dangerous power. Felix could create ice, but only inside the human body. He could not create ice outside the human body.
One day, the football coach made Felix angry. He was yelling at him about a terrible game he had a played. It wasn't his fault, he argued. The ball always seemed to be wet and cold whenever he tried to catch it. His fingers constantly slipped.
When the coach started threatening him that he would remove him from the team, Felix got very angry and fouced on only the coach. Nothing else in the world mattered at that moment except for the coach. The next thing Felix knew, the coach was suffocating and twitching on the floor in front of him. Felix called the hospital. The coach hadn't been killed, but the memory of freezing his first victim's insides, always made him feel like a freak.
Felix cringed at the memory and walked through the throng of people. Now where was he supposed to go? God, he was so lost. If only someone offered some help. He didn't even know where his dorm was. Felix sighed heavily and continued to move through the crowd.


Jennifer Holmes walked down the stairs. This was her second year. She was running extremely late for her next class. Jennifer had telekinesis 101 next. The next lesson was learing how to levitate objects with their minds. Jennifer had been trying very hard to do this task, but her mind was a little slow. She had just begun to get the hang of blocking people's thoughts out of her mind. Now, they were learning something else? Great. It felt like Japanese class, but not nearly as worse.
Jennifer had pale white skin. She was albino; which meant she avoided sunlight as much as possible. Her eyes were pale pale blue. She had long white blonde tiny curly hair that tickled her back. Her lips were an off-pink and her arms and legs were chicken size. Jennifer was a tiny and short person, with a height about 5'2. Her chest wasn't very big either; something she had always wished that it would be, but she was only a B-cup.
With her tiny figure, it made it hard to push through the crowd. However, as she moved, she began to hear a new student's thoughts. Someone she had never heard before. Jennifer's eyes scanned the backs of heads until she found the unknown voice.

God, would someone just help me please? I'm new here. Felix thought.

Jennifer grinned and tapped on Felix's shoulder. Felix turned around and looked at the girl in front of him. Wow, talk about seeing a ghost. Felix thought as he noticed how white she was. Jennifer glared. I can hear you ya know. she thought in his mind. Felix jumped, scared.

"You can read minds?" he asked her.

Jennifer nodded. "Yes," she said. "I'm Jen. You must be new."

A girl wearing a purple shaw, t, and jeans walked in through one of the side doors that had come from her dorm building. She had long dirty blond hair. She stopped and looked around the school looking at all the new faces. This was her third year and she always enjoyed seeing new people. Her name was Angel. Even though she was anything but an angel. And her so called "gift" defined her as anything but an Angel. She thought of it more as a curse. It seemed like she hurt anyone around her. Even though she really didn't mean to.
She was an empath. And anyones feelings or pain around her would pass through her and out to anyone around her ten fold. No doubt she had a dangerous gift. But it wasn't all bad. Most of the time it was just plain embarrassing. Any emotion passes through her lust, envy, anger, pain it was always around her.
Its one of the reasons she had to come to Galyphora. Back home she almost killed everyone in her old school at a school assembly.The students there had started a riot. And things got out of the hand with a lot of anger issues.
Angel looked around looking for anyone that seemed lost. She always tried to make up for her gift by helping others.

Brendon Stone headed down the halls of Galyphora acting all cool as he usually did. Enjoying the girls that were fanning over him. He was bulk and muscular (but not the unattractive way) and had medium length black hair. His eyes were as green as a tree and he was at least 6"6.
His gift was naturally over strength. It was suprising at how many buildings he brought down by just closing a door. Gradually he's been learning how to control his strength but saying as its only his second year he hasn't accomplished too much.
He wasn't paying attention and had to put some major breaks on in order to not run over Angel. She was much much shorter than him at 5"4.
She looked up at him feeling his frustration.
" Sorry Angel." he muttered and gave a cocky smile as he shook his hair with his left hand.
Angel looked up at him and shrugged. " Its okay, sorry to get in your way."
He pulled down his hand and stuck it in his pocket, the cocky grin still wide on his face. " Alright then, see you later Angel."

[Miss Gates]

As usual, Jen was clumsy. She dropped her binder and all her papers fell out. She groaned out of frustration.

Now he probably thinks I'm an idiot, Jennifer thought.

Felix bent down to help her with her things. "Are you alright?" he asked, concerned.

Jennifer nodded. "I'm just running late," she said and tucked a strand of her white blond hair behind her ear. "Thank you." she said, embarrassed.

Felix handed her her papers. "No problem," he said.

Jennifer found her friend Angel and tapped on her shoulder. "Heya Angel," she said. "Could you do me a huge favor and help Felix out? He's new and I'm late to class."

Felix looked down at Angel and smiled.

She's cute, he thought.

[jojodancer]

" Yeah sure sure."
Angel smiled at her then looked to Felix.
" Hi." she said politely.

[Miss Gates]

Felix smiled at Angel. "Hi," he said nicely. "My name is Felix."

He held out his hand.

Jennifer smiled. "Thanks Angel I owe you a bunch," she said and ran to class with a trail of papers flying behind her.

Felix looked at the papers and shook his head, his smile widening.

[Atticus]

(Okay lets do this =D)

A guy who looked around 17-18 he had long jet black hair and blue eyes with a small purple tint to them, we wore a purple shirt, black jeans and black boots he felt abit nervous as it was his first time coming here, he could barely control his powers.
Only reason he was here is because he hurt his family when his psychic power went out of control when his gf left him for she saw him as a freak.

He kept walking down the corridor not having a clue where he was going just letting his feet take him, people had to walk around him as he wasn't paying attention *what am i going to do* he kept thinking to himself before coming to a halt and stared out of the window.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mean while anouther guy who looked 19 at least, he had white spikey hair and red eyes with black shadows under his eyes we wore a full white costume with a picture of a hand on his shoulder that looked like it was being drained, he was leaning against the wall waiting for someone and watching all of the new kids walking around *I hate newbies, they are so annoying* he thought as a group of them were following a teacher.

[jojodancer]

Angel shook his hand and grinned. " Welcome to Galyphora." she said. " I guess i've become a welcome committee these past days." she laughed lightly.

[Miss Gates]

Felix smiled and shook her hand. Then let go. He was starting to like Angel.

"Cute laugh," he told her.

Yes he was flirting, but he held a cocky grin on his face that told Angel he wasn't nervous. But he didn't know Angel's powers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jennifer made it to class just as the bell rang and sat down. She brushed a strand of hair out of her eyes and sighed, catching her breath.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A tall girl with a straight figure and small chest was walking past with black hair. She wore Tripp pants with chains that jingled as she walked and her entire outfit was black. Her black hoodie had a rib cage on the front of it in white. Ebony hair flowed down to her shoulders and a mask covered her face. Every inch of skin was completely covered; except for her peircing green eyes.

Stopping at the window, she gazed outside. Her name was Dakota Heck and her powers were extremely dangerous; she was new to this school. On the outside she looked pretty normal. But if anyone were to come in physical contact with her, she could burn them. Once she burned a person, she was always connected with them. And that was dangerous.

Dakota was known for accidentally killing her entire family; which consisted of four people. She could still feel them to this day. She also killed two more people by accident, that were her friends. This seventeen year old girl was full of depression, but didn't show it.

I can't believe I'm here, Dakota thought bitterly. The government should just take me and rip my heart out. Stab it, to make sure I can never come back to life...

[Atticus]

The psychic turned to his side and pretty much jumped out of his skin he held his heart and looked at the girl "You really should say your there" he said taking deep breathes "you almost gave me a heart attack *i should have noticed her there, im psychic* he thought to himself as he looked up and down her "erm why you so gear'd up?" he said confused.

[Miss Gates]

Should I ignore him? Dakota thought.

She didn't want to get close to anybody. She didn't want them dead.

But somewhere deep down inside made Dakota turn around and look at the psychic.

"My skin is acid," Dakota explained. "Even just bumping into someone could kill them."

[Atticus]

His eyes widen "Yikes thats deadly" he said feeling sorry for her "I'm Psychic well when i say Psychic i mean the version where i can't control it proply apart from that i can leap far and survive high falls i think they called it Propulsion and i have Regeneration" he said nodding the realised and slapped his forehead abit "I'm Nathan, you are?".

[Miss Gates]

Dakota sighed heavily, sadly. "You have no idea..." she said referring to the 'deadly'.

She stared out the window for a few moments, leaving a long and awkward pause in between them. Her eyes were empty. Then she put on the strong face and turned to Nathan.

"I'm Dakota." she replied.

[Atticus]

Nathan nods "Nice to meet you Dakota" he said polightly he tapped his legs abit as an awkward silence went by "So erm what do you think of this place? bit too crowded dont you think" he said trying to start a conversation, he wasn't too good at doing it as he wasn't spoken to the much.

[Miss Gates]

"Too many people," Dakota agreed.

She had sudden itch on her face and had to take her mask off. Setting down on the window sill, she wanted to run away and hide.

Don't look at me, Dakota begged. Please don't look at me. He probably thinks I'm hideous.

By hideous she was referring to the tear mark scars on her cheeks. Before she was admitted to Galyphora, people used to laugh at her and make fun of her for being 'gifted'. She was also called a killer.
