OTHER CHARACTER(S) IN GAME: Hieke, Shouto Todoroki
CANON INFORMATION
CHARACTER NAME: Adelaide Cooke
CANON: Original
HISTORY: N/A
STRENGTHS: •Friendly - Cheerful, sunny, et cetera, Adelaide could be described as “bubbly”. She’s open-minded and has an open heart, and doesn’t want anyone to feel alone or left out. She’ll go out of her way to make sure people are included, and she tends to see the best in people. Or she at least wants to see the best in people, even if some people just want to stand around and look gloomy. She’s a people person through and through, and is definitely more of an extravert.
•Compassionate - Seeing the best in people means she wants to do the best for people. She wants to help people, and will do whatever it takes to make people happy. She’ll give up her time, her money, her whatever, to help someone if she feels they need it. This doesn’t quite reach levels of self-sacrificial, but it’s a close thing. She wants to make the world a better place and change it from the ground up - she’ll do whatever it takes to make someone smile. She’s thoughtful and giving, and people are her highest priority.
•Adaptable - Most things that happen don’t phase her. She’s able to roll with the punches, and doesn’t get caught up trying to figure something out when it’s clear things are so much more than she ever realized. Her life was abruptly changed forever, and she’s been able to accept that and roll with it and all the strange new things she’s learning. Life and the world around her aren’t things she understands, no, but she’s capable of changing with it and adjusting her life to fit the new things she’s learning.
FLAWS: •Reckless - Adelaide doesn’t think before acting or considering the consequences. She acts first, asks questions later, even at a risk to her own health. She hates taking time to plan and would rather be constantly acting and reacting. She takes danger in stride and will get herself hurt from not looking before she leaps - she thinks it’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission with every possible thing. She also simply doesn’t think danger is a reason to hold back - now that she’ll come back from whatever ails her, isn’t that all the more reason to just go for it?
•Stubborn - She’s incredibly headstrong and will dig her heels in over conflicts. While she does tend to just roll with things, there are times where she refuses to budge and give in. This is largely over interpersonal things - she doesn’t mind if she pisses someone off over standing her ground. She’s outspoken and rash and she doesn’t mind trampling on someone who’s meeker or milder in order to get her way. The things she can’t budge on vary, but it’s largely things that she believes are morally right. She refuses to compromise herself for others, even if it would be the easiest or cause the least amount of stress to others.
•Temperamental - Seeing the best in people and being extraverted only take her so far - while she has a long fuse, there’s still a point where too much is too much. She can become cross and angry with people seemingly out of the blue, because she pushes down her anger and irritation until it all comes boiling to the top. This makes her unpredictable and wild and it’s definitely cost her a few friendships over the years, but she doesn’t know how to handle her anger any better. She doesn’t want to be an angry person, so she pushes all of her anger down. But she pushes it down and down and down and never processes it, so it all comes to the surface in a rush and she lashes out at people. It’s never very pretty.
CANON ABILITIES: •Increased Ability - Stronger and faster than a standard human - she could easily, say, lift a car and run with it while keeping pace with other cars.
•Durability - Can recover from most injuries. The only way to kill her would be to destroy her head. And on top of simply being sturdier than a human, she can heal faster as well.
•Transformation - Of course she can turn into a bat, and other small animals.
•Thrall - The ability to influence the thoughts and actions of people she makes eye contact with. This can be interrupted by any sort of force or stumble, or when she decides to cancel it.
AU INFORMATION
AU CHARACTER NAME: Same as canon.
AGE: 19
GRADE: Undergraduate
AU BACKSTORY: •Her childhood was difficult, but ultimately normal. Her family was poor and dysfunctional but completely human, and she didn’t know anything about the supernatural existing. She was a “normal” child, born and raised in America, and she didn’t even manage to get into the college of her dreams.
•She did manage to get into a college, and it was at college where she met Richard Wells, who at the time claimed to be an English exchange student. The two got along well - really well - and when it came time for winter break, Richard invited her to spend it with him and his friends. Adelaide accepted without a second thought.
•During her visit, Adelaide was unknowingly targeted by an enemy of the Wells’ clan - a vampire who had been a member of the clan, but who’s anti-human sentiment was considered appalling. He was banished from the clan and saw Richard’s fraternization with humans to be what was truly abhorrent. He decided to kill Richard’s new human fascination.
•But he didn’t do a very good job.
•He did a good enough job that unless something was done immediately, Adelaide would die. That was when Richard decided to turn Adelaide, even though she still had no idea of what was happening. She had no say in the matter, unfortunately.
•The Wells clan was unhappy with this decision, but couldn’t find it in themselves to banish Adelaide from the clan just yet. They decided the best thing to do would be to get her out of the way, and after pulling a few strings they decided to send her off to Daybreak.
AU PERSONALITY DEVIATION: N/A
RACE: Vampire
SECRET SOCIETY: Adelaide is a member of the Wells clan - sort of. They’re an ancient clan of vampires with branches in England and America, and they try to stick to their own rules. One of those rules is don’t turn humans. Richard broke that rule, and that’s put the clan in a sticky situation. On the one hand, Richard holds an immense amount of power and sway within the clan and was one of the first members on it. On the other hand, there’s the rules he helped make. Their solution was to basically not have any contact with Adelaide, so she has no real ranking within the clan. The only contact she has with them is Richard, and they want him to keep his distance.
POWERS: Adelaide’s vampirism grants her exceptional strength, speed, and durability. You’d need to destroy her head to kill her, though she can’t do things like regrow limbs and organs despite being able to heal incredibly quickly. She has limited shapeshifting abilities - mainly able to transform into small creatures like bats, cats, and rats - and in the sunlight her abilities are all incredibly weak. (Sunlight won’t kill her, but it will make her sluggish and miserable.) The longer she goes without feeding, the weaker her abilities get.
Power Update: Adelaide is capable of regeneration, including the ability to regenerate limbs. As long as her brain remains intact, she will eventually regenerate to match the same condition she was in when turned. Her shapeshifting abilities include a bat, cat, wolf, and mist forms. Every other power remains as is.
HOUSING: No preference.
RP SAMPLE
INTERVIEW SAMPLE PROMPT
(The following scenario is available to all characters who are apping in and is considered canon - before formal admittance into Daybreak Academy the administrative staff will give a series of questions and prompts to get a better feel for the character. Respond to the prompts in-character. Characters may lie, mark if they do with the word "lie" in parenthesis after the question answer.)
1. WHAT DO YOU MOST DESIRE FOR YOUR EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE?
I want to learn how to live with all of...this. [She gestures at herself.] I mean, my life just got a whole lot longer, so, you know. More time to learn everything you can.
2. WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO ACHIEVE IN THE FUTURE?
Graduating would be a start. But, ah, I’d really like to just...make someone’s life better. Doesn’t really matter how, I guess. I just want to help.
6. WHAT COURSE WORK EXCITES YOU? WHY?
I like getting hands on with stuff! That’s how you really get to know how something works.
7. WHAT COURSE WORK DO YOU DETEST MOST? WHY?
Essays. They’re just so…boring, and there’s only so much you can say before you’re just saying nonsense to meet your word goal!
8. WHAT ACTIVITIES DO YOU PARTICIPATE IN OUTSIDE YOUR EDUCATION?
Um… I like doing all sorts of things - I used to be on the track team, but I don’t know if I’d join one here. There is one here, right? I like running, but I don’t want to cheat...
9. WHEN GIVEN FREE TIME, WHAT DO YOU DO WITH IT?
Go on runs, or, like, spend time with people. Depends on the day, you know? And if anyone’s around, I guess, but I like spending time with people? It’s a lot more fun than just holing yourself up in your room and reading. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! It just gets boring after a while.
10. WHEN UNDER PRESSURE OF A TIGHT DEADLINE, HOW DO YOU RESPOND?
You just get it done as quickly as possible - that way you don’t have to worry about it. [Sound logic, obviously.]
12. WHEN WORKING IN A GROUP, HOW DO YOU ORGANIZE TO ACHIEVE YOUR ULTIMATE GOAL?
You have to find out what people are best at, and then put them on tasks that match with that as closely as possible. That way everyone’s bringing their A-game and can do what they’re comfortable with, and you get the best result possible.
13. DO YOU FEEL YOU CAN RELY ON YOUR PEERS, OR DO YOU FEEL YOU MUST EXCEL ON YOUR OWN?
Of course I can rely on them! We’re all in this together, and what’s the point in just doing something on your own? [She brushes her bangs out of her face.] They’ll be there for me.
14. IN THIS EVER-CHANGING WORLD, WHAT MOST EXCITES YOU ABOUT THE FUTURE?
That we don’t know what’s going to come up - it’s all one great big unknown!
