The annual Strobe Academy formal is coming up, and everyone's excited. The students, however, have superpowers, and that might mess things up just a little. But nothing's gone wrong before, so what could happen now?

[Anyone's allowed to join, just don't overload on characters. That's not cool.]

Name:

Age: (15-20)

Appearance/Outfit: (images are allowed for both)

Special Abilities: (only a couple powers, please)

Relationships/Friends: (relationships with existing characters count, list their crushes here too)

Personality: (be brief)

Notes: (anything else)

The scene is already set, a large, dark ballroom with colorful, lit up decorations. There is punch and snacks off to the side, along with a DJ booth. Songs can be requested to the DJ.

Speaking of..

Name: Elysia Raiden (Lysa)

Age: 17

Appearance: Tall and bony with a short, choppy haircut that comes down to her chin and is slightly longer in the front. Bangs straight across but slightly curled inward and still choppy. The ends of her white hair are blue on one half and yellow on the other. Ears pierced three times and a single nose piercing. Eyes yellow on the middle electric blue on the outside, with cool cateye eyeliner and slight eyeshadow. Purple lipstick. Pale skin but with slight freckles, especially on the cheeks and nose. Fair features.

For the formal occasion, her piercings are all clear/diamond. She wears a short Tron-esque dress (complete with lights!) with long, flaring sleeves and knee-high space boots.

Special Abilities: Has electricity powers and basic technokinesis

Relationships: friends unknown, single

Personality: She is spunky and loud, and gets excited over little things, but can get a bit irritating to anyone who isn't accustomed to her. Highly relaxed, informal speech with random exclamations sometimes, and has a rather hoarse voice from overuse. She's epic with her friends but mousy with the boys and actually gets upset when not taken seriously.

She likes music and pop culture and is a bit of a geek.

Notes: She's the DJ, and loves music to pieces. Is a bit of a punk, but still fairly nice.

And.. GO!

 
Name: Kuroichi Shoushitsu (Kuro-kun)

ショーシツ クロイチ

Age: Appears to be 15

S.A.: Superhuman strength, speed and agility

Relation/Friends: Elysan Raiden (Good Friends), Shiroyuki Shoushitsu/ショーシツ シロユキ(Sister)

Appearance/Outfit: Kuroichi appears to look like a fifteen year old japanese male. He has medium length black hair and usually black eyes but when seeing blood, his eyes turns crimson. He usually wears a casual black yukata but at formal occassions, he wears a full white yukata. He always wear a pair of ivory getas. At school hours, he wears a white collared shirt, a pair of navy blue trousers and a pair of black shoes.

Personality: Double sided. One part creepy, emo, insane and one part friendly, helpful, slightly playful but all the time calm. He always prefers animals or loneliness over people. Anyone touches Shiroyuki would get beaten badly by him. Sometime breaking a limb.

Notes: A kind vampire. Part Japanese part Thai. Knows Muay Thai. Actually a hundred years old.

 
Lys was the first to run into the ballroom, barely containing her thrill.

The decorations this year were even better than last year's, with a multitude of colorful lights strung about the room, a room large enough to echo the white-haired girl's words.

"Sweeet!"

A perfect place to be the perfect DJ, Lys thought, and in a blink she was already at the table, practicing around with various sounds, testing the mic and lighting effects. The others weren't allowed in for the next ten minutes, so she had time.

The most fun part of having her special abilities in the DJ business was the ability to blink and change lights with her mind as she performed. But she had never done it live before, and was admittedly a little nervous. All the practice she could bring herself to do was crucial at a time like this.

She wasn't nervous about the crowd, though. Crowds didn't scare her and they never will.

 
Kuroichi woke up around six o'clock in the evening. The sun was down. A ball was to be held. He got out of bed and took out his grey pyjamas. He took a soapless bath in his wood tub and went to put on a white formal yukata. He went out of his dorm room and caught a live pigeon. He went to the ballroom drinking the blood of the pigeon and spilling some blood on his yukata. "Sou baka", he said to himself. He quickly ran back to his dorm room to wash the yukata. He then ran into the ballroom with his yukata all dry. He spotted Elysan. "Ris-kun! Konbanwa!", he said to her while running to her. He accidentally bit her like always. She always let him bite her accidentally. "Ris-kun. Sorry for biting you", he said while bowing to Elysian. He patted her back. "You okay?", he asked. He put a j-pop cd into the stereo. And put a k-pop cd on top of the stereo.

 
"Ey, Kuro! Don't sweat it, man!" she laughed. "You ready for the formal of the century?"

She twinkled the lights behind her as she spoke, for dramatic effect.

"Yo, by the way you look fantastic."

 
"Yeah. This is actually a whole lot different than the ball on 1914. Back then, I was freshman and I just moved to America.The school just opened. The school was a whole lot smaller than it is now. The ball was just in a small hall. A friend, Hinotoko was also from Japan. He controlled the lights. Just candles and flames. And the music was just a piano, a couple of bongos and me playing a shamisen. Now it's all your duty to control everything and my duty to bring the cds"", he said to Elysan. He went to the storeroom and took out the shamisen he played until 1989. He turned off the cd and turned on a microphone. He played wrecking ball on it. And then he played Gangnam Style.

 
She laughed. "You tell some strange stories, dude. So I guess the effects this year are up to par?" Elysia briefly demonstrated a few of the lights as he played, dancing around all the while.

 
"I'm serious. I'm 115 this year. Look. My birth certificate. Wooden pieces. Koki 2559. 1899 for english. August 8th. It even has the imperial mark. Legit. Even my school record. Check the database. Student of 1914 till present. And the library. The photos. 1914. Class 1-3. Sitting in the middle. The reason I remember 1914 is because I moved to USA then. Then on WWII, everyone in my class was racist to me.", he said to Elysan while passing her his koseki. He then played the lavender town song on the shamisen. Creepy but soothing. Just the way he likes it. He then played a song which nobody knows which sounds very traditional japanese. He then went outside to catch a pigeon. Then he went back in drinking the blood. Some people stared at him. "What? I was thirsty."

 
"Ha, I believe you. I was just playing." Elysia put the other things down and went right back to practicing once her friend went outside. Her first song was simple, playing with chord progression and several higher sounds. She used the lights appropriately, with soft yellows and blues.

 
Kuroichi took his koseki and put his shamisen back in the storeroom. "I'll go drink a cow. Quite thirsty now.", the vampire said. He went outside and to the field. He took a cow and drunk it. There were many other cows so it won't be a big deal. After the cow died, Kuroichi took a knife and cut some steak out. He took all the steak to the barbeque section of the formal. "Fresh steak in the house!", he said.

 
Elysia stopped her practicing to give a quick thumbs-up to her friend before going right back to it. She blended her last song into the next one, a self-made remix of a popular song, and changed the lights as she went. She was getting good at this.

 
"Nice!", he said to Elysan while grilling the steaks. He grilled all but two. Then, he drank from the raw ones. "Come on! Medium-rare!", he shouted. He threw one at Elysan.

 
Luckily, Elysia's telekinesis was with her today and she paused the music in time to catch it. It floated around, with blue sparks flashing around it.

She paused, looking at the steak again, then looked back at Kuro. "Do you, uh, d'ya got a plate for this? I can't hold it forever.."

 
He went over to Elysan and put the plate on the floor under the steak. He then put a fork and knife set next to them. And then he put some miso and bonito on the plate.

 
She released the steak and let it fall onto the plate, a bit of miso almost splashing on her if she had not dodged it in time. Elysia took a break from her music to snack down on her new treat, she had been starving all day and was grateful for some food.

"Where's everyone else, man? I thought we had more staff than this.." she inquired with a full mouth after her seventh bite of steak.

 
"Not sure. You know what? I'll play my guitar I played on 1985. Johnny B Goode was what I played. I don't suppose you recognize the song. Let me play it.", he said. He took out a blue electric guitar and plugged it into the stereo. He played while singing.

Oops. Almost forgot.

Relationship: Kuroichi(Best friend), Elysan(Good friend)

 
Nyo was just standing in his room. Seven in the evening. He was already naked. Showing off his wooden joints. He put on his yukata and his getas. He went off to the ballroom. He only saw Kuroichi and Elysan. Kuroichi was playing Johnny B Goode while Elysan was busy eating miso steak. He took out his guitar and followed Kuro. He was in the school band since 1977. Another dang immortal. He sang better than Kuro. He even spun his head. He finished and went over to Elysan. "Lysey. Where is everyone?", he asked while patting her back with his hard wooden hand. "Ooh... Sorry. That should've hurt.", he said to Lys.

 
He was just playing when Nyo-chan came in. He joined Kuro-kun on playing Johnny B Goode. He was in the school band since 1977. He even spun his head while playing. He was even singing better than him. He was even Japanese.
