The front has been updated with all forms now, as well as having the dorms set up and how the academy looks and works basically

"Kind of a waste to dodge it if youre wanting to be someone." She stated bluntly as she continued to wonder, checking to see if any familiar faces were near but of course it wasnt something common to her. Friends werent always the best thing to her, and was usually seen as something that gets in the way. The blend of their own family ways and the ways of the academy were fairly different and conflicted the two siblings often. "Massive guy? Possibly seem him without really knowing it. I sort of zone out at times when walking to classes." Aria raised her shoulders as she took a breath in,"As for my rank, I'm a four." The silver like eyes narrowed as she came closer, her head twisting to the side as she parted her lips to smile,"And what rank are you?" The voice was fairly smooth and the accent normally used around her brother managed to slip in as she spoke. A tone that could be taken as an older English tone to the certain words. "Id assume something around mine if not higher. You at least act like it. Nothing wrong with that at all~" Awesome //

"Yeah I guess you're right," she agreed, watching her look around even though honestly she thought it was pointless. Until the initial excitement died down she wasn't going to bother with even trying to look for someone she knew, not yet anyways. "Mmhmm, he's way taller than me," she explained, and that was saying a lot considering Raven towered even over some of the instructors,"and he's like five of me across or something like that, I dunno. He's just a really big guy. Eh, he's not really the loudest person so it's really easy to overlook him, even with how big he is." Raven seemed to stiffen a little, clearing her throat and fidgeting slightly as Aria leaned in. Shifting her weight a little and shrugging, she looked away before looking down at her,"three," she stated simply,"I'm ranked as a three...but that's because apparently I have an "attitude problem" or whatever," she muttered, using air quotations before putting her hands back in her pockets. "Yeah I act like it, cause i technically should be ranked higher and I know it, but you know, don't got that winning hero personality," she admitted sheepishly.

Sorry, been styling wigs and spending money :') //
"Right, right the hero personality." Nodding she sighed and gave a plain look. "The one thing I think most of us will never truly have. We are human, at least in some sense. We are not perfect, and we feel differently about every situation." Aria purred as she lifted her hand and held her face a bit. "I wont lie, I wouldnt really mind to see a fight go on or be part of one for once thats not part of class, I just wouldnt want to get deranked." She pursed her lips and eyed a small group walking by. "More like something Lothar would do. He's a little more quick on his feet and picks at people and likes to fight people here and there." Her eyes returned as she look up slightly at the other female. "Gets a little boring watching tv, working out so on. I dont know. Maybe swimming if anything to be fun over all, just floating and relaxing some. Either way~"

[ mood ]
Piper laughed and shook her hand, nodding. "Wow, clever save. I'm Piper, nice to meet you," he grinned, hoping he wasn't intimidating this kid. He had to admit it was hard to see her being the leader of a group, but really he couldn't say anything since he didn't know her at all yet. She certainly had to be impressive if she was this young and already a 5 star. "Now I know what you're thinking- why is this old turd on my team? Well trust me, I'm wondering the same thing," he joked with a shrug, trying to keep things lighthearted. "But you're the boss now, so. How's your first day been?"
"Dude, I'm always prepared. Why do you think I have this drink!" Neema laughed, waving it around to prove her point, somehow managing not to spill it all over herself. She glanced Lothar up and down, trying to get a feel for this guy and why he seemed to be so salty on the first day. It wasn't even like things were hard yet! "My energy is never wasted, you see. And nah, the newbies are still innocent let them have their fun. We've all been there right?" She gave the guy a light punch to the shoulder. "You don't seem so peppy yourself. Am I allowed to ask why?"
"Whoah whoah whoah..." Beau muttered, taking the guy's hand and pulling himself to his feet. "You're going from 0 to 100 real fast, man. It was just an accident, I'm not gonna beat you up," he insisted, trying not to laugh at this poor kid's nervousness. Then, of course, he glanced down at himself, trying to decipher why this kid was so insistent on him beating him up. Beau was fairly certain he was in no way an intimidating guy, giving his jacket a patdown for good measure. Nothing hiding underneath that. "Cool wings though, I'm sure they're more useful when not knockin' me to the ground an' all."

"Maybe you, but not me. First day here even as a newbie I held the same stance and expression." His narrow eyes focused on the others fist as his shoulder was lightly bumped. "Having the same thing every year, and getting closer to higher ranks to possibly be sent out to die, is a dark thought." Lothar blinked before his eyes lifted back up to her. "Not to mention having a sibling here who could lose her life isnt any lighter." The male averted his eyes as he looked at himself, his hand running flat against his black sporty, wide strap tank. "Not to mention there arent many to really get to know." The corner of his lip tugged as he turned his head, his hand opening and rolling,"Granted the mass amount of bodies walking around that I dont even know, I just dont care. Bad attitude about it, I know but to get attached to some people just make things harder at times." Pointing at his head he made another circle motion with his finger. "Clouds the mind in tough situations."

"Geez man, if you're gonna be so dark about it why are you even attending this place?" Neema asked, a genuine curious lilt to her voice, truly trying to assess this guy before her. Naturally everyone wouldn't be so happy to be at school, but usually you signed up for this kind of stuff, all of these risks. It was a sort of package deal. "This school is designed to make you a hero, if you have no passion for helping people or even kicking villain butt then we're gonna have a hard time," she added, crossing her arms over her chest now, cup nested against her chest. "Emotions, empathy- they're supposed to help. Yes, your family ties could make things tough, but to be a hero is to make the right choice. You're stuck with me anyways, so it just looks like you're going to have to learn to love me and the rest of this team." She added that last part with a wink and laughed.

"You know, you're not wrong, but I think they also kinda want us to lie or something and pretend that we're all perfect, happy little heroes. And I just can't do that," she decided, shaking her head. Raven probably would be ranked higher than her average three, but her attitude problem and her tendency to fight with people she was saving stopped her from advancing. Which didn't really bother her all that much. Her lips curled into a devious smirk, looking down at her,"oh? Well I can totally give you a fight," she offered,"you wouldn't get deranked, or even get in trouble for that matter." Nodding and looking around, already appearing to be on a mission to find the perfect person to fight, she hummed to herself before responding,"all that does get boring after awhile."
Albany helped him to his feet before he began fumbling with his shirt, doing his best to avoid Beau's eyes before he glanced at him shyly and nervously,"right, it was just an accident, I promise it was," he insisted before he seemed to calm down a little after realizing that Beau wasn't actually going to beat him. His cheeks turned a bright shade of pink at the compliment and he stammered, clearly flustered,"oh uh, t-t-thank you, but-t-t-t I don't think it's really all that cool. I can't d o anything with them really except sly," he admitted.

Thea glanced around. Students were continuing to pour out of orientation and the simple fact of being surrounded by so many people who were like her was rather novel and exciting. She smiled, shoving her hands into her pockets, "It's great. I can't wait to get started!" She had been shocked when she'd been assigned to lead a team right off the bat. Especially since she was convinced there had to be way stronger heroes that were far more capable of leading. But here she was. Thea was going to make the most of it. She started to walk, folding her hands behind her back, "Speaking of which, we should absolutely talk. I wanna know about the other five stars and any four stars of note. Anyone to keep an eye out for. Whole shebang." She turned her head slightly, glasses sliding down her nose to reveal brilliant eyes staring him down intently, "You've probably got a lotta stories about everything that goes on here, old man. I wanna hear them all."

"I dont think you really get it to the fullest." He stated plainly before a cracked a small smile, the grey eyes shut and his head lowered. "I can be a hero with a crappy attitude some days. Everyone has an off day where they arent the brightest but a hero, is what you consider a hero, what I consider a hero. Anyone." Lothar looked to the female as his tone lowered more,"I dont need the word hero to be sprinkled with nice things to know the cons of it all and to leave them out to seem like this cool, nice guy who goes around saving everyones life. I can save people, but I dont have to fully care, do I?" Brows lifted as he held the soft smile for the other,"Oh and to the comment about being stuck with you, and having to love you. Yeah, right back at cha~ You'll get use to me once you stick around me long enough and will come to appreciate it." The purple haired male winked as held himself in a tall stance. "You'll see when the time comes how I can be and how I manage to keep this rank."
Aria arched her brow as she tilted her head to the side. "Oh? I wouldnt get deranked or in trouble. Hm, I suppose I could go with it. I just want one day to fight someone here just because I can. I know I bark at my brother about not fighting people but, sometimes you gotta forget it and go with what you want to do to enjoy life." She moved a bit closer as she tried to follow the others gaze,"So whats the idea of this? Find a random soul or just try to find someone decent enough to handle this?" Her hand gestured to herself as she laughed lightheartedly.
//Also I was gonna ask if I can edit Lothars age xD I found the original age he was in my notes and noticed Aria and him share the same age so//

"Yeah, I'll take the blame or whatever for you, I don't care if I get deranked and I get in trouble anyways so it's no big deal for me," she shrugged, offering her a mischievous grin. "Why is that huh? Why do you wanna fight someone around here?" She questioned, tilting her head to the side. She usually just fought people because she liked the thrill and letting people know that she was in charge. Well, she wasn't really, but she liked to think so. Looking over at her she snickered in amusement before shrugging her shoulders,"I don't know, whatever comes our way first I guess."

"I just want something to do. Maybe get to know some people, or we could always just walk off and snoop around." Aria managed to slip in a wink before walking away and off down the concrete pathway. "I wouldnt want to beat a possible newbie down to the ground and have you get in more trouble than need be." There wasnt much of a happy step in her walk, more dense and heavy forcing the heels to click as if power would come from them. "I dont get to fight often, and Ive always wanted to, at least here. I guess I could just free will use my powers all I want but eh." Her shoulders lifted as she smiled wide and lowered her chin. "I just hope the team Im on isnt horrible. I kinda of require a decent amount of back up if its too much to handle." The female looked back as she stopped in her tracks to not stray to far.

Raven looked over just in time to catch her wink, raising a brow at her before smirking and following after her, hands in her pockets. "Snoop around huh? What did you have in mind? And you really don't have to worry about that, I get into all sorts of trouble," she admitted, sounding a little more proud of that then she should have. The woman's step was light and quiet, not anything at all like her new companion's heavy sounding steps. "Well that's pretty lame, I fight all the time," she snickered, looking over at her,"like literally all the time. Back up? So like, you can't control your powers type deal?"

"Not exactly." The female stated as she held her index finger up. "I can control it decently, of course I often get bad side effects after, but more so I am a little less aware I suppose during so?" Her shoulders lifted as she shrugged in an odd manner. "You see, I kind of go blind when I do use my power. Partially. I dont have to be really but I kind of dont know how to stop it from doing so as of right now so.." Her open hands made small motions close to herself as she thought," I can sort of see two places at a time, and I have a mask given to me by my father to help but I try to not use it here. I dont wanna seem odd." Aria closed her eyes as she bent her fingers in, the nails pressing against the palm of her hands as she tried to continue explaining. "I wouldnt say it's the best, but it works out well for what we use to do, and now I hope it can be useful for the goal here."

Raven listened curiously, nodding as she talked, doing her best to understand. "Blind? As in like you literally can't see anything?" Wow that would suck, unable to see anything while using your own power. "You know...that sounds way too complicated," she mused, putting her hands behind her head, looking over at Aria,"I like mine, it's pretty simple and easy, and doesn't make me blind. I don't have a whole lot to worry about," she admitted.
(I'm so sorry for such a short response)

Cassidy Steele | 24 years old | female | a decently short young woman standing at 5'3. She isn't particularly remarkable in appearance in any way, with lightly tanned skin and golden blonde hair reaching her shoulders in wide waves. Her eyes are a warm brown with green flecks, and a smile never far from her expression. Although she doesn't look like much, she certainly has enough muscle to take care of herself. As a person, Cassie is nice. She's the perfect girl next door, who is kind, but friendly and approachable. She seems to genuinely see the good in everything and everyone, to the point of fault. She can be pretty easy to manipulate. Despite this, occasionally a more biting sarcasm peeks through this veil. | A raised black tattoo spreads down Cassie's spine, in the shape of a geometric dragonfly. This is an alien parasite that has spread itself through her body, giving her superhuman abilities. However, she can only access these abilities when she shifts, gaining a yellow-green tinge to her skin, striped with black, specifically running along her veins. Her body lengthens and hands and feet curl into insect-like talons. And perhaps most notably, she grows massive, sparkling wings. These can appear and disappear at will, whether that be in full or only parts. She also has amazing regenerative abilities, but they greatly affect her other abilities. Too much damage being repaired and she's entirely helpless. | 5 The Dragonfly | She's very gay. | bigbadwolf

"Hmmm," Neema mused, drumming her fingers against the plastic cup in her hand, tilting her head a little at Lothar. "We'll see how long you keep that sentiment while on my time," she smirked a bit, her expression almost directly challenging him. After a moment she let out a sigh and shook her head at him. "Awww, you don't seem that hard to love!" she teased, throwing her arm around his shoulder- or at least attempting to, with their height difference, and patted him on the chest. "You oughta tell me about yourself then while we walk, newbie-on-my-team, I need all the warning labels stuck to you upfront, capische?"
Piper snorted a bit at her comment, but was pleasantly surprised that she was so proactive about this. Doing reconnaissance was always a good first step, and he definitely had to give her props for that. He found himself unable to do anything but throw his hands up in surrender. "You're absolutely right, considering I'm so impossibly old, the least I can do is give you a bit of the gossip around these parts," he agreed, tucking his hands into his pockets and sidling up beside her. His gaze flicked around, as if in search for potential targets. "All the new teams have some pretty impressive people. Neema, I think she's leading the Topaz team this year, she's one to watch out for. Tough power, tougher personality. One of the Thiel kids is on her team too, and both of those siblings are impressive," he began, pointing a few out as he went along running through the list. "Raven isn't a 4 or a 5, but she should definitely be on your radar, if her intimidating looks weren't already enough. And then we have Cassie, the one who kicks all of our asses when it comes to sheer hero personality and ability. Although I think you'd want her advice more than you'd want to get on her bad side," he added, this time with a friendly air and grin. Oh boy did he have stories about Cassie, he could practically hear her lamenting now at the thought of telling them to Thea.
Beau's eyebrows shot up in surprise and he laughed a little. "All you can do is fly? Man, that's really underselling it. I bet half of these people would trade their power for yours. Don't undersell yourself like that!" he insisted, about to clap the kid on the shoulder but thought better of it considering the guy was pretty much shaking like a leaf and Beau assumed that even the slightest touch would probably shatter him. He reached his hand up to scratch the back of his own head instead, gesturing with his other hand. "Uh...think you can let me through though? Being stuck in a lecture hall isn't exactly my idea of a fun day."

"Yeah," he nodded, his head hardly moving, but just enough that Beau could probably tell he was nodding. Blinking in surprise, he looked around at the few remaining people around them before looking down at him with a furrowed brown and an unsure frown,"but...all these people ave other cool powers, what's the use of flying when you can't do anything else?" Stiffening up with a quiet noise, he looked behind him and then back at the other male, blushing furiously when he realized that he was blocking the only way for him to get out. "I-I'm so sorry," he insisted before turning and hurrying out of the aisle of chairs so that Beau could get out. "So um...what's your name?" he asked quietly, voice barely above a murmur and he kept his eyes on the ground. He could do this, he could make a friend no problem. Beau seemed nice, he had nothing to worry or panic about.

Thea was certainly glad Piper was playing along. At least he didn't seem too upset about a new kid taking top spot on the team, she would have been irked if it had happened to her. But he seemed like a nice guy and she certainly needed all the help she could get. She nodded as he spoke, carefully trying to keep all the names even in her head. Thiel caught her attention and she nearly spoke up, but then stopped herself. No need to be rude. Besides, she did need to hear everything he had to say after all. Once he seemed to be done, she spoke up, "Thiel, you said. Isn't that the last name of one of our team members?" If their teammate was as notable as her sibling, then it would certainly put their team in a good position. The teams were expected to train against each other after all and she had every intention of being the best.
___
She had to give it to the banks of this town. Their security had gotten amazing over the past seventeen years. Perhaps it was due to the repeated robberies that she and her brother had gotten away with. That was probably it. Between the electrified bars, encrypted locks, alarm buttons every two feet, and vaults that could withstand a nuclear blast, bank jobs were simply out of the picture. Museums were bust too, no fences would would even see them anymore. Apparently constantly being pestered by heroes was bad for business. Sure, they had gotten their hands on a lot of money in the past, but it seemed like every account they tried to make was open for a few months at most before that jerk got his little grubby hands on it and before they could so much as withdraw enough for a taco, it was gone.
So here they stood, Bunny and Bull, two of the most infamous criminals in the world, outside a department store. However, they weren't here for fashionable clothing at low prices. There were some rather large safes in this store. Most of the time, such things were impenetrable. But not today. The two stepped forwards into the store, masks firmly in place. Jack;s visor was cracked and thin metal wires were clearly visible on the side of Anna's suit. They'd had them for years and the wear and tear was obvious. But they still worked. Which was all that mattered. Anna strolled up to the help desk, fingers tapping lightly on the counter as she addressed the wide-eyed kid who looked like he had yet to start shaving, "Show me to your safe please."

"Ok, for a start, I'm not a newbie. Might want to watch your tongue before you lose it talking like that." Lothar gave a wicked grin as he narrowed his eyes and looked at the female who seemed to be stuck to him. It was a bit awkward since most people actually moved around him than to him. The pale grey eyes took in the womans face as he arched a brow. "Ask what you want and I'll answer it truthfully. I can be a prick but I'm not a closed book that's for sure. I just am not a big people person." The eyes moved away and stared ahead as he lowered him voice,"Especially with the touchy stuff." The male moved his hand out from his side and opened it, the palm of the hand facing the ground as he forced dark mist to move around him and ahead just a small amount. The dense body became transparent for what seemed like a second before it shifted over to the old shadow figure that sat ahead of them. "Id advise you to not make that a habit. It's a little weird to me."Lother turned himself around a bit as he stared the female down,"Let us walk then?" -- "I can see just not fully from my point of view." She smiled and laughed softly as she shook her head. "I can be fully blind and depending how long I use it and the after math of it all, I can be stuck like that for a while. I see out of one eye..." Aria pointed to one eye as she soon moved her finger over to the other,"Wheres the other I see with my familiar I create. It's kind of weird at times since I have to swap often to keep up with my actual body, but the good thing is that my familiar body doesnt really effect me as much if it gets hurt. It does; however, leave me vulnerable at times but I do not mind it." Brushing a few dark red strands of hair from her face, she lowered her chin as leaned her head to the side," What exactly do you do? Im a bit curious but usually hate to ask people. It's kind of a common question that gets old."
