...basic character information

Birth Name: Hi, its nice to meet you, you can call me Kamil Akito Finnigan if you want. I know its kinda a strange combination of names, by the way Akito means autumn or demon child, just thought i'd let you know.
Nickname: Most people call me aki, but other call me Kai, don't ask where it came from I hardly know myself, I get the feeling its some kinda joke, but whatever.
Gender: I am girl, please don't get it messed up or I might be concerned with your intelligance, I mean afterall if you can't even tell a guy from a girl there must be something wrong with you.
Age: I am just turning 15, it wasn't to long ago I was 14, yea that was stupid and obvious but i bet I got you to laugh atleast once.
Grade: I am going into 10th grade, which seems like a acomplishment, although I transfered here frim my other school and I still haven't figured out why.
Birth date: I was born december 19th, I figure something importnat happend then, who knows, I am just going to assume its not important enough to mention.
Program: [Bachelor of Social Science]
Major: I figure I am going to major in Psychology
Major Explanation: I am in psychology specifically because I wish to help others when they are faced with problems such as trauma, and the ideas of being completely different from "normal" humans. this major refelcts my animal because my animal is seen as sometiems wise, calm and stealthy. I believe someone working with the mind has to have all of these, you have to becareful on how you approach things, wise as to how to handle it, and calm so as not to disturb your client.
Animal Identity: I shift into the Artic Fox, the white and magestic animal of winter and cold climates, that doesn't mean I am cold though, i just am reserved and calculating, though at times I act much like a pup, always getting into trouble but if you need me I'll certianly be there.

Overall: [400 words minimum]
You want me to describe my personality? Well I don't know how I am going to do this, I am a bit shy after all, I mean I can talk alot to people I kn0w But I don't know what you want me to say. People always have said they can come up to me and talk to me about anything but doesn't that seem weird to you? I don't know about you but I think people coming up and saying certain things right out of the blue might get a bit weird. My parents always said I was a sweet quiet girl, then again they never really talked to me, they made sure I got through school and had all my extra activities.

I had a few friends before I cam here, I was always a late bloomer, but my real friends didn't care, infact they said I could be one of the most talkitive people they ever met, I still don't believe them though. As i mentioned before I am a afraid of the dark, now of course that wouldn't make much sense I guess, okay maybe its more like I am afraid of whats in the dark, but really I am not a scardy cat, though I don't like cats either. I guess i'll explain my major a bit more.

Everyone said I would always be a teacher, but I really never liked the idea of teaching kids. So I decied to delve into the world of the "mind" scary right? No not really I mean you learn alot about yourself, I found out I have fear of "abandoment". Does that make sense to you or not? Because normally and even now I still really don't understand that. Actually I don't understand alot of things but thats alright I don't care. Thats why I study so much so I can learn everyhting and anything about a subject.

Lastly, I think I'd like to say, I love people. when it comes to seeing others I just light up and I want to do anything to make them smile or jump for joy. You can find me in the kitchen cooking a treat to stick in someones belongings, now I know what your thinking. "Why aren't you a cook?" You really shouldn't have to get school for that, and I still want to be able to help people with their darker problems not just the ones on the surface. I guess I have a motherly complex, which can be mistaken for love, but really I just care about people and I just can't help but do anything I can for them, its going to get me in trouble one day. .

...appearance

Celebrity Play By: Alyson Stoner
Appearance: [400 words minimum]
You remind me of this stalker. No, no I am joking. So what do I look like? Well to begin I think I’ll say I am almost one hundred and twenty pounds; It can change from time to time. I am a little bit on the miniature side, something tells me its cause of my animal but anyway I am about five feet and two inches tall. Now as for my eyes, it seems that they are normally brown, but they sometimes are a hazel like blue.

I have naturally curled hair. When I was little it was like "Shirley Temple". When I was around 12 years old my parents cut off my hair. Ever since, the curls didn't grow back beautifully and were frizzy, but now that my hair has gotten longer it seems a lot better. For my makeup I always match with my outfits, but for my regular everyday make up I have a process.

I apply foundation by putting dots of foundation onto my cheeks, chin, nose and forehead. Then using my fingers, a damp makeup sponge or a foundation brush to blend the makeup into my skin. Then I use cover up. Then comes the concealer, I apply the concealer underneath my eyes and to blemishes.

Then I continue with an eye shadow base to my eyelid. I apply a rose-colored eye shadow over the outer half of my eyelid. Blend the two eye shadows together using a blending brush, normally a light white and skin toned color. Lastly for my lip stick it’s normally small, maybe a rosy pink or something that goes along with my skin color.

For my fox form I am about at shoulder 10 inches tall. I weigh about 7 pounds; I am small for a Arctic fox I think. Normally I am white in winter and brownish grey in summer though my fur can look blue depending just when summer starts rolling in. I have a weird discoloration in my fur on my left front paw, the color is almost black and kind of looks like a moon, nothing mystical about it though. My eyes are the standard brown bluish color of the arctic fox. I guess I could say I am cute and cuddly, I would have been better off as a rabbit, I don’t normally hurt other animals and I really don’t like using my strengths, I can’t help I have hyped up smell and sight however I try to act as human as possible.

Here comes the thing I wish could skip over; I am going to be the odd-ball here and start with the end of my history. I began going to the academy on my 15th year of living. Which means the first time I really “shifted” as they say, was when I was fourteen. I did say I was a late bloomer after all. It was a strange experience, It happened when I fell asleep in the middle of a snow day, we had off from school and I was just exploring the woods out back when I decided to take a rest under a tree, it was like a hollow place between the ground and the trunk and roots.

So getting back on track I woke up and I felt so strange, I padded my way out from under the tree and ended up staring down into a creek, I was so thirsty I thought I might as well have a drink, but when I saw myself I let out a “yip” which surprised me even more. Somehow I snuck back home and went inside to my father’s study, I had remembered seeing something about this, thing that was happening to me. My father Neil Finnigan was always busy with his scientific research he couldn’t tell us about. He had just turned fifty and he still wasn’t even close to retiring. Anyhow I went into his study and was staring up at a bookcase trying to find a way to get a book down when my mother, Valerie Finnigan came into the room, I tried to scramble for a hiding place but she saw me, but what was surprising is the fact that she yelled my name. I stopped mid step and cocked my head toward her.

I soon found out, that my boring life wasn’t so boring. Being a only child I thought I wasn’t anything special, well till now anyhow. My mother explained to me that when she was a young girl her mother told her a legend about our own family, according to her my great grandfather was a shifter same as me. I was even blessed with his animal form. My mom is just turning forty nine now and has told me to do my best at this school I have to go to. I guess I am going to do okay, she said she told dad I am just going to a special private boarding school, he really doesn’t know what I am, I don’t think he could handle it anyway. I didn't get to learn much about my grandfather, but I guess i'll find out the history of shifters wont i? .

...connecting human to animal

[One Paragraph Minimum (Can be point form)]
The reason my animal and I are connected is because it was my favorite animal, actually I use to hate most animals as a child. I am connected to this animal because our personalities mix so strongly. Not only can I be strong, wise and calm. I can be mischievous and wily too. I make friends easily, but I can’t always handle large situations I would rather run and hide from it. However I am willing to face things when I have too. I am also small in stature, and so is my shifter. We are connected, and we will fight with the rest of you. FAQ's.

...literacy

RP Sample[/i]
“I live my life in misery...I'd sacrifice this world to hold you" I was singing, yes in a train station, my black hair over my eyes, I had just dyed it of course, because I was just special like that. He had not place to go because I foolishly had sold my house a few months ago and now I was back and wasn't sure how to make up for this. I had tried to convince my band members to let him stay with them, but they refused rather rudely. So now with fascinated stares from people who were surprised to see a wizard playing something without magic I tried to think of a way to get a home or a place to crash.

I thought about the people I had met and my head wrapped around a name. Kaleb Gracia, I didn't like the kid that much, and that was saying something, but that’s just because Kaleb had a lot to learn about life. Now on the subject of that, how would I even know how to find him now? He probably changed, I had, sure I wasn't taller, but I had gotten a bit broader and my girly features a bit more prone, as in, if you saw him from a distance you couldn't tell cept for obvious reasons, I is a guy. It’s pretty sad actually; I could remember people mistaking me for a girl quite to many times in this past week even. fact just a half hour ago some guy came up to me asking if I needed help and if I could catch a drink then I came close enough and veered off somewhere.

So The chance of seeing Kaleb was slim, so I simply left that to go waving in the wind, now besides the fact I was now a full wizard persay, because I was now supporting the remnants of the phoenix I wasn't sure I wanted to be here in the first place, it had bad memories, and well, I had no place to live. He was a bum, now playing music, sitting on one of my four suitcases; the world just seemed to love him didn't it? No not really after all I had been through, the only thing I had going for me was my good looks. Though I wasn't so hot on the being a girl part. As more people seem to stop and listen I figured I could just mooch off someone in the crowd, so as I sang I scanned the sea of faces. Just hoping I could have a miracle take place. Because I was too lazy to buy an apartment even though I could more than afford it.

[A.dministration]

Hi there and welcome to Shifter Academy! I'm Kevlar and I'll be the lovely admin guiding you through your application process so we can get you accepted as quick as possible (: There are a few things I'd like to point out for you and I'd like for you to fix and then you can go ahead and get posting and having fun!

Firstly, I like that you were creative and did your application in first person! It really was a delight to read but I did get a little confused in places where your grammar was a little off. Just small mistakes that you can fix, should you feel like it.

Second, I'm not so sure if your personality is very clear. You say that she is good at listening to people and solving their problems and yet you've listed a weakness as not being able to relate to these people. That's a contradiction that probably needs to be fixed.

Third, your major choice is interesting. I understand your reasoning behind it but Psychology is more about the actual study of how the human mind works rather than helping them out. The closest major we have to that would probably be Sociology which would include being able to go into the career of a Social Worker, someone who is dedicated to helping other people out.

Fourth, your history is interesting, although this would probably be a section much more difficult to write in the first person. You didn't fill out your parents' names and a simple N/A would be fine for siblings, since she's an only child. The history isn't really a history because it's really just a recap of Kamil's first day of shifting and what followed. You didn't go over how her life was up to that point or anything that happened. Again, third person might be easier here because you can then describe her early years and how she blossomed into the lovely teenager that she is today.

Lastly, although your role play sample is the right amount of words, you didn't follow the rules We ask that your rp sample be in third person because that's what we do on the site itself. It can be from the perspective of another character besides Kamil, but it does need to be in third person.

Just fix those things up and if you have any questions, send me a PM. (:
