Name: Zen Yoko
Age: 19
Grade: Senior
Appearance:
Studies: Assassination, infiltration, undercover ops, torture, phycology.
Bio: Very little is known about Zen's life before he began attending Nightfall. In his student files, it says that he was orphaned at age nine and that his tuition was paid for by a mysterious benefactor. The exact nature of his parents' deaths and who this benefactor is are questions that only Zen himself can answer.
After attending Nightfall for only two weeks, he was recruited by the bounty trainers, a group of elite students who terrorize the school by picking off those who they consider to be weak links. While he is known throughout the academy as a cold blooded killer, Zen has a soft spot for animals and often cares for small injured animals in his room.
Personality: Zen keeps mainly to himself and is a man of very few words. He comes off to others as cold and unfeeling. While many are put off by him, there are some girls in the school who are infatuated by his looks and mysterious past. If the girl seems to be of any use to him, he will use her to get what he wants, and if they don't intrigue him at all, he simply ignores them.
Name: Demetri Nevahor
Age: 18
Grade: Junior
Appearance:
Studies: Assassination, weapons building, grifting.
Bio: Demetri was born in a bad part of Soho, not far from Britain. He lived in a small apartment with his younger brother, mother, and abusive - and often drunk - father. When he was fifteen, there came a day when his father hit his mother too hard and she simply never got back up again. A week after the death of his beloved mother, his father came home drunk with a gun. He threatened Demetri with it, but the boy wrestled it away and held the barrel to his father's chest. Before he could pull the trigger, his younger brother walked in, begging Demetri to let their father live. Enraged by the fact that his brother was standing up for the bastard, Demetri shot his younger sibling, then his father. He did it gladly and never regretted his decision.
At his former school, Demetri was labeled as a gun obsessed freak . . . Until one day he assassinated the school's entire soccer team with a sniper riffle during one of the games. He was never caught by the authorities, but the event attracted Nightfall's attention and the school offered him a scholarship. He accepted, delighted at the idea of killing for a grade. His choice of weapon is a hand gun he keeps hidden in the sleeve of his school uniform.
Personality: Despite what his past may suggest, Demetri is considered by most of the school as a perfect British gentleman. He refuses to kill or maim a female and will only take jobs from the girls in the academy. He tries his best to hide his psychopathic nature, but when pushed the right way, it can emerge . . .
Name: Maemi Homi
Age: 16
Grade: Freshman
Appearance:
Studies: Grifting, underworld trading.
Bio: As the only child of the head of Korea's black-market, it was decided by her father that Maemi would take over the business when she was old enough. Ever since she was five years old, her father began bringing her along when he went to meet with clients and suppliers. She was also taught how to skillfully use a variety of weapons, but she tends to favor the use of knives and daggers over anything else. After her father taught her all he could about underworld trading, he sent her off to Nightfall to gain her own experience and new clients. Even though she skips nearly all of her classes, Maemi has been successful at turning a few of her fellow classmates into faithful clients. That is, when she's not picking fights or taking naps in the academy's library.
Halfway through the first semester, Maemi came across the senior Zen in the courtyard. She saw him cradling a young bird in his hands, smiling down at the creature as it chirped. Ever since seeing the softer side of the bounty trainer, she carried a small flame for him.
Personality: Maemi was placed in the freshman class not because of a lack of talent or knowhow, but because of her temper. She has a hard time controlling her emotions and has given into her anger many times in the past, resulting in half of her freshman class ending up dead before the second semester even started. She is known as a hothead and has gained a reputation for having a temper as fiery as her hair. But she is always careful to control herself around her clients, never doing or saying anything to jeopardize the alliances she has formed with them.
Name: Octavia Vanguard
Age: 19
Grade: Senior
Appearance:
Studies: Grifting, assassinations, the art of seduction
Background Info: (If Octavia becomes more of a main character, I will take the time to write out a detailed bio and personality. But for right now, I'm lazy and don't care all that much.) Octavia is what many refer to as a 'honey pot' - an assassin or spy who uses their charm and looks to seduce their targets. While she despises the term 'honey pot', she has no qualms about using the art of seduction in such away. She has lured many to her room in the dead of the night - though none have ever been known to come out alive. Along with being one of Nightfall's most impressive students, she is also the current top bounty trainer.
