Personality: Relatively calm and relaxed, but can seem somewhat distant when meeting someone new. This isn't because he's cold, it's because he is used to a lifestyle that teaches one to have an isolated personal life. That, and due to the violence of his city, Jason is also wary of new people, always believing that it is never a good idea to trust anyone completely. He prefers to mind his own business, but when he sees someone in need or a problem that needs to be solved, he will step in and help, even if he seems reluctant to do so. Most of the time, it seems as if he has something on his mind, and usually it's true.
Although Jason may seem rather odd, cold, or even a little awkward at first, he is someone that can be counted on. He is deeply loyal to his friends, and is not one to take them for granted. When around those he trusts, his distant demeanor seems to melt away, revealing a rather friendly and outgoing person.
Jason is also very reluctant to use his magic, almost as if he is afraid or uncomfortable with it. Because of this, Jason will usually rely on his own physical abilities, and when he does use his magic, he tries to use the bare minimum. When it comes to his magic, Jason is an underachiever, but not because he is lazy.
Jason is also very perceptive, intelligent, and observant, usually picking up on things that other people tend to miss. He shows creativity in finding solutions other people may not have considered, and exhibits superior knowledge in how things work and noticing patterns, allowing him to modify things and solve puzzles. He also has a good grasp on chemistry, due to his rather.. shady business decisions.
Jason still feels guilt over the death he had caused, and it is one of the primary reasons he does not want to use his magic. Simply put, it is a sensitive topic for him.
Soul elements: Mind, Ordo, and Entropy.
Soul Points: 5 Mind (Rank 1).
Abilities: Mind-based magic. This ranges from telekinesis to telepathy, pretty much anything relating to the mind. He is only a rank 1 in this magic, so at most, he will hear the occasional "whisper" of people's thoughts and will be able to make objects levitate and fly.
Gear/luggage: Clothes, a multi-tool he uses to practice his abilities on and uses as a universal tool, headphones, earphones, a music player, a smartphone, a few packs of gum, a few books, and toiletries.
Bio: Jason was born in a rather normal household to two rather average parents; his mother, Yuko, being a nurse, and his father being a construction worker. Jason only knew his father for 12 years, for when that time came, his life changed forever. It was a freak accident, and nobody was really at fault, but an incident at the site his father was working at had claimed his life. When his mother received the news, she was devastated, but despite that, she still strove to take care of their only child, Jason.
Although Jason's mother had a job with decent pay, it still wasn't enough to keep up for long. Eventually, Jason and his mother had to move to a more affordable home. This presented its own problems as the neighborhood was not as safe as their old one. As the years passed by, it became more evident that his mother was barely able to keep them in a home. She was always so tired and he rarely saw her. Because of this, he decided to get a job delivering pizzas when he turned 17. Although this was enough to relieve some of the stress on his mother, it just wasn't enough to help her from having to endure sleepless nights and working overtime.
One night, it all seemed to get worse when Jason could faintly hear quiet sobs from within his mother's room. Jason quietly made his way to the slightly open door and peered inside, only to see her huddled at her bedside, phone beside her as she buried her face into her hands. Jason hesitated to enter the room, but after a deep breath, he pushed aside his fear and opened the door further.
In an attempt to try and keep Jason blissfully unaware of how close they were to living on the streets, Yuko told him that she simply missed his father, but he could tell that was not the true reason. Despite that, Jason simply accepted her lie and tried to comfort her the best he could. After his mother had eased from her distress, Jason left and returned to his room. Although Jason seemed concerned but calm through the entire ordeal, he was extremely worried for his mother. That night, Jason lay in bed with the lights off, replaying the events from earlier, trying to think about what may have really been causing his mother to cry. He kept trying to formulate various reasons as to why, but the more he thought, the more they seemed to make less sense, as if there was a disconnect between his current knowledge and the possibilities he came up with, as if he had a second mind. Even stranger was the dream he had when he finally succumbed to sleep.
In that dream, he had gotten up to get a drink of water from the bathroom sink. After quenching his thirst, he looked at himself in the mirror, but was greeted with a rather unearthly sight. Instead of seeing himself, bed-hair and all, he saw a ghostly visage of himself. It had some small differences, like the hair being a little shorter and the unnaturally blue eyes, but he could feel that it was him. He whispered things to himself, telling himself that he needed to find another job. He did not know why, but this dream weighed heavily on his mind, as if it was the most important one he had ever had. That morning, Jason awoke with a newfound sense of resolve and a solution. No matter what may happen or how he would do it, Jason had to find a way to make extra money. It became an obsession, and he would do anything to satisfy it.
Days passed, then weeks, and finally a month, but even after searching everywhere and leaving no stone unturned, he was left empty-handed. Jason paced around his room in defeat, frustrated from failing at every turn. His anger built as he recounted every "no" he heard, everything those employers must have thought, this aging house, these now failing flickering lights in his room. It seemed like the world just relished in all the tragedy he had felt so far, from the death of his father, to this. The lights flickered once more as he knocked a chair over with his hand, and then he remained still. There was one solution he had yet to try, but even now in his most desperate hour, he was hesitant. It was illegal, but it was the only other option he had...
It was night when Jason had gone out to the streets, all in the hopes to find a buyer. It was such a nerve-wracking experience from walking down the cold and dark streets, to receiving the money and going back home. Despite his fears and the risks involved, it payed very well and convinced him to do it again. Soon, Jason had enough money to keep his mother and him in their home, and even bought himself a few luxuries he would have never been able to buy before. When asked how he could afford such things, Jason simply said that he had been doing various oddjobs around the city. Soon enough, the hospital that his mother had been working at had finally closed down, leaving Yuko out of a job. Thankfully, the money that Jason had earned was more than enough to pay for their home, though he had to pretend that he could barely afford to pay for it all, as to draw away suspicion.
Unfortunately, his good fortune would not last forever. Word spread that an unaffiliated party had been selling and distributing cheaper priced drugs, and was deemed a threat to business. With that in mind, a local gang set out to eliminate the competition and called to meet with him at a motel for a business request. When Jason got there, he was greeted to sneers and weapons. Jason was fleet-footed, but could not outrun his pursuers forever. Although he lost most of them, three still remained, and had cornered him in an alleyway. Jason dispatched one of them with a steel garbage can and another with a nearby wall, but as he focused on the last one, the others had finally caught up. It all happened so fast, but despite his best efforts, Jason soon found himself being held down as one slowly approached with a knife.
He struggled hard against his attackers, but it was not enough. Jason screamed out in frustration as he thrashed about and tried to break free, but it was only met with laughs and jeers. If only Jason had not come to this alley, if only he had not gone to that meeting at the motel, if only that man did not have that knife. Jason clenched his teeth as he tried once more to fight back, giving it all he had to force himself free.
Unbeknownst to everyone, trashcans began to vibrate, garbage bags burst open, and litter began to float in the air. Just then, a loud bang echoed through the alleyway, followed by a bunch of screams and the scattering of footsteps. It all happened so fast, but when Jason opened his eyes, he bore witness to the horror lain before him. The knife the thug was holding was entirely shattered, and the attacker laid there, motionless. Much of his right side was obliterated, as if a large explosion went off right beside him. Jason simply sat there, motionless until police arrived.
Reason for joining the school: As per the agreement between the MSRA and the Court, Jason must attend the school to "rehabilitate" and learn to better control his magic.

Tristan Markey
Spoiler
Name: Tristan MarkeyRace: Dullahan/Nukekubi
Age: 21
Bio: Tristan's father was a Dullahan, and his mother was a Nukekubi, resulting in him being a mix of both. Life was fairly normal for Tristan, at least as normal as a supernatural being's life would be. Unlike the old ways of the Dullahans and Nukekubis before him, Tristan was raised in a tamer environment where supernatural beings and humans coexist without too much trouble. Despite the fact that Dullahans don't hunt people like they used to, Tristan was still expected to be proficient in his craft, his natural skills. Unfortunately, Tristan had been anything but that. Sure, compared to a human, Tristan holds an impressive amount of control over Darkness, but he is nowhere near satisfactory when compared to others of his kind. Because of this, his parents urged him to join Trinity Soul University ever since he as 18. Of course, Tristan refused, thinking that if anything, he would simply terrify everyone there. After enough time, his parents were able to convince him to go.
Gender: Male
Soul elements: Dark, Blood, Death, Entropy.
Soul Points/Power: 1 Dark (Rank 1); 2 Death (Rank 1); 2 Blood (Rank 1)
Darkness is an innate ability that Dullahans possess, primarily used for "death magic", primarily by killing their victims by simply saying their names. Luckily, Tristan is not a full blooded Dullahan, so he does not have to worry about killing people by accidentally saying their names. Similarly to a Nukekubi, Tristan can make his head float off his shoulders, but it is accomplished by a combination of natural ability and Darkness magic, and thanks to being part Nukekubi, it is much easier for him to keep his head on his shoulders, making it easier for him to pass off as a normal, if not somewhat strange looking human..
With Darkness magic, Tristan can summon weapons, armor, horses, various objects, and if he puts enough effort, can even temporarily alter his environment, twisting and infusing it with a tar-like Darkness. With the weapons he creates, he can make them effect either a person's physical form, or their spirit/life force, draining them of energy until they collapse, and depending on how much damage was done to the target's spirit, die. Affecting a person's spirit/life force with his weapons is a weaker form of "death magic" an innate Darkness sub-type all Dullahans possess.
Due to Tristan being a Dullahan, he also possesses the innate ability to unlock locks, open doors, and disable security systems simply by getting within proximity of them. It is impossible to bar they way of a Dullahan. Not only that, but when Tristan wills it, he can induce fear in others. On top of that, Tristan also has superb eyesight and enhanced vision, allowing him to see those that are about to die from a distance. Due to being a combination of Unseelie Fairie and Youkai, Tristan is stronger, faster, and more durable than a human, and cannot die by normal means and will often shrug off even the most fatal of wounds, quickly regenerating and recovering from injuries. Thanks to his lineage, Tristan also has the supernatural ability to manipulate whips, allowing him to perform tasks with them that could not be possible for humans. He is able to alter whips in is possession to form spikes, solidify into swords, grow extra tails, bend and curve to his will, and extend and retract.
Luggage: A couple changes of clothes, a phone, a laptop, a human spine, a couple of books, and toiletries.
Appearance: Tristan is relatively normal looking, except for what appear to be stitches along his cheeks, and a very faint scar across his nose. The stitches are actually made up of Darkness and allow him to appear human. Without them, Tristan has a very wide mouth that stretches to each side of his face, giving him a terrifying appearance.

Why did you come to the University?: Despite the fact that Tristan would be considered proficient in his magic type by human standards, Tristan is sub-par when compared to other Dullahans. Because of this, his parents urged him to attend the university. After some time, his parents finally managed to convince him to go.
Personality: Tristan is usually a laid back individual, preferring not to bring too much attention to himself, but on occasion, he exhibits a manic, wild, almost insane personality. This is mainly due to his nature. After all, he is a Dullahan, a species that invokes death upon mortals and fear in their hearts. When in a calm mood, Tristan is easy to get along with, and enjoys the company, but if anyone stares at him or bothers him when he is either running an errand, or busy with something, he will quickly get infuriated, and will sometimes attack. A strange thing to note about Tristan is his strange fear of gold. He doesn't flee from the presence of gold, but like the normal fears humans have, it can sometimes be terrifying to him.
Other: Not only is Tristan very skilled with whips, he is also proficient with swords, axes, hatchets, scythes, cleavers, and various other weapons. Similarly to a Nukekubi, Tristan is weak against spiritual attacks. It's not fatal, but it affects him significantly more than physical attacks. Tristan's only real weakness is his head. If his head is destroyed when out of his possession, he will die. Also, if anyone gains possession of Tristan's head, he will end up under the current owner's control. Unlike normal Dullahans, Tristan obeys the wielder of his head more out of fear of its destruction as well as wishing to reunite with it, and will try to steal his head back if the opportunity presents itself.
Also, gotta have a theme(s). :p
Something fun.

Natsu Castor
Spoiler
Name: Natsu Castor
Gender: Male
Race: Half-Warlock
Age: 20
Appearance: At first glance, Natsu looks human, though on closer inspection, he does not seem completely human. For one, his eyes are a soft purple and sometimes have slit pupils. Not only that, but there always seems to be a rather heavy magical aura about him as a consequence of being half-warlock.

http://i.skyrock.net/9283/79809283/pics/3146843350_1_14_e4ToORSX.jpg
Personality: Although cold and serious on the surface, that is not always the case. It would not be accurate to call him a shut-in, though at times he can exhibit such behavior, due to his near-constant pursuit of knowledge. It would be more accurate to say that when it comes to magic, he is a very driven individual, sometimes overlooking others in pursuit of magical growth and the accumulation of knowledge. In the few cases he has free time, he still seems just a little stoic, but is not one to push away interaction. That being said, he does appear to have a great deal of pride in his abilities and does not suffer fools lightly.
Soul elements: Entropy, Mana, Lightning, Fire, Blast, Storm.
Soul Points: 2 Lightning (Rank 2); 2 Fire (Rank 2); 1 Mana (Rank 1)
Abilities: Adept at hand to hand combat and imbuing his body with his own magic. Due to being a half-warlock, he is more naturally talented with magic, though does suffer a higher susceptibility to anti-magic attacks. Meanwhile, although he is part Aether from his mother's actions, he does not have the full effect like a witch or warlock would, and has an aether pair like most other humans.
Gear/luggage: A few pairs of clothes, a laptop, various books (666 Rituals Every Warlock Should Know, Hexes and You, Liquid Magic: Potions and You, The Lusty Kitsune Maid: Tails 1-9, Salutations to Incantations, Runes for Dummies, Aether Theory, The History of The Trinity, Ghosts and Goblins: A Bestiary, The Great Link, The Great Magic War: Vol 1 & 2, Magic Combat Theory: Vol 1-7, MAGIC MISSILE!!!: Offensive Mana Magic Applications, Danmaku for ⑨'s, Ride The Lightning: An Electric Guide, The Ring of Fire: A Beginner's Guide, Fire in The Hole!: Fire and Blast Magic, Deadly Lust: A tale of Demonic Love, The Art of Artificing, etc.), an ornate ceremonial dagger, a couple potions, and toiletries.
Bio: Ever since Natsu was a small child, his mother had always emphasized the importance of knowledge and magic, how they were not only a source of power, but a driving force, that all living beings pursued knowledge for not only the betterment of themselves, but the betterment of their community. Morality should not be a major factor when such information could be of benefit for all, and as long as the reasons were appropriate, risks were to be taken. Unfortunately, not everyone in the world saw things this way and believed such ideals to be quite immoral and illegal. Despite that, he was taught the ways of the witch and warlock in secret, all under the protection of the coven. He learned not only how to strengthen his magic and mind, but his body, even going so far as to learning of the aether.
When Natsu came of age, his mother gave him a choice. Unlike many of the other witches who were against the rules the Trinity imposed, she believed in the idea of freedom, freedom to pursue knowledge in any way one saw fit. Because she valued such a thing, she bestowed him that choice as well. He could either choose to go to the school and learn much of what others would learn, as well as see another point of view on the philosophy of magic, or he could go under the tutelage of a witch or warlock in the coven, learning the ancient teachings of magic, as well as see what secrets lie in wait in the world of magic. Natsu already knew much on the ways of witches, so hoping for a new source of knowledge, he decided to apply for TSU. His mother respected his decision and bid him farewell, wishing him luck on his journey for knowledge. Luggage in hand and a thirst for knowledge, Natsu set out for the school.
Reason for joining the school: To get a broader understanding on the philosophy of magic, as well as learn all he can from the school.
Notes:
Her hair isnt as long as the image. Her hair reaches just past her butt. She stands about 5'1" or 5'2"
