Warning
New Transfer Student Aproaching.
Mundanes
Mundanes, not to be confused with mundanes, are perhaps the students with the greatest advantage at IOU. Mundanes come in two varieties submissive and BANE. Submissive Mundanes have no powers or abilities other then a very tiny mundane field and a lack of perceptive awareness, they are incredibly lucky at avoiding laser fire and the like, on top of that they never notice the visiting aliens the local wizard or that giant radioactive lizard. As a result they tend to feel the rest of the campus is highly paranoid and irrational with students using dope then normal.
BANE Mundanes are something else entirely, a submissive Mundane is annoying at worse. A BANE Mundane will make you pull out your hair in frustration at best. They are identical to there lesser brethren, submissive Mundanes, but the mundane field has grown into an uncommon stabilizing force. A submissive Mundane will never see something there brain can't accept as real, and are essentially immune to those forces as a result. A BANE Mundane stops these same forces from even functioning with in a distance, true you can use magic to tear its pants as it bends over but that fireball is snuffed out in its presence and that laser pistole is reduced to a mere prop in a child's hand. A very sad day for mad wizards and mad scientists alike.

Its a magical ability with electricity that she's learned to apply to technology from childhood. She was raised by an experimental engine designer and that's what she knows best. She cooks too.
Now ask her to sew something, create a party invitation or other girly shit and she's lost.

Well, it's probably a good thing that I don't have a clue what Leet is.
Vixandra: I'm guess it would be safe to assume that your character does not specialize in electrical abilities, but simply engineering?

Ari does magical engineering and computer interface stuff. Mundane engines tend to puzzle her as do Volkwagon ones. She specializes in spaceship engines (that's what "her" engine is- a magically fueled jump drive engine).

"What I'd kill for a vending machine right about now..."
The vendingmachines on campus are fairly normal for example they don't usay fallow the students around.
Whats in the vending machines tends to be odd. +5 magic swords of godzilla slaying, windows ME, tuna salads that have expired.

(We have a ooc thread?)
I Sp33k l337 It'z Eazy dood.
Of course, I read allot of Megatokyo, so it isn't much of a shock.
I change my line to "What I'd kill for a normal vending machine" but I'm lazy. And expired tuna salad is normal, FRESH tuna salad is weird.

*announcer voice*And in this corner, weighing in at 150 lbs...Sparky!
Name: Allen Green aka "Sergeant Sparks"
Age: 30
Weight: 150 lbs
Height: 5'11"
Hair: Black, always looks like he’s been plugged into a wall socket
Eyes: Electric blue
Ability: Complete control of electricity (mutation)
Advantages: Immune to electricity and electrical shocks; can control electricity with very fine detail or shear raw power; automatic self-defense (anybody makes physical contact with him, with force, suddenly has a couple hundred volts of electricity shoot through them); can gather electricity relatively quickly (2,000 volts/second) to a max of nearly 2 million volts – exception: during thunderstorms, he has found that he can direct where lightning strikes to within a foot of the intended target (he does not have direct control over the lightning, for it is not within him, he can only direct when and where it hits); can control and/or affect anything that uses electricity; he can overload his body with so much electricity that a massive electrical explosion occurs, having the side effect of electrocuting everything within 200 yards of (never tried, so he doesn’t really know he can do it, but only needs to try once for it to work).
Disadvantages: Prefers to keep dry as much as possible as being wet reduces his ability to contain electricity (he can still gather and hold electricity, but it escapes from him faster when he’s wet); when carrying high levels of electricity, either the air around him will literally hum (at the “low end” of high levels) or electricity will spark off of him at random intervals, creating the smell of burnt ozone (at the “high end” of high levels) – this makes it difficult for him to be stealthy when gathering high levels of electricity; overloading his body tends to be permanent.
Bio: Allen graduated from college at the age of 22 with a degree in electrical engineering and then went to work at a nuclear power generating plant. He worked there for two years before being accidently (and unknowingly) exposed to some radiation, followed by him touch a live electrical wire. The result was him being able to control electricity to an extremely high degree, an ability he didn’t discover until nearly six months after the fact. Even today, he is not sure how he gained his abilities. He worked at the plant for another year before IOU offered him a job as a part-time electrician for their campus. After a month or two of working part-time, he found a better job on campus: full-time security guard. He is currently second in command of the security crew on campus and is still working part-time as an electrician.
The radiation exposure had done a little bit more than give him powers – it gave him a bit of a cruel streak too. He seems to have acquired a taste for pain and suffering, and as a result has personally hand built a fair number of medieval and modern day torture devices that he keeps in a “dungeon” located behind his house. He occasionally rents out the dungeon to others for their private use. He takes no part in what goes on within the dungeon, and he has video evidence to prove it.

Because I got nothing better to do and I've been wanting to revamp it anyways...
Name: Jamie "Zero" Sky
Age: 19
School: CoM
Hair: Auburn (Sometimes changes to Dark Lavender)
Eyes: Purple (irises tend to glow, or the whole eye will have a milky white steam look to it)
Body Type: Slightly slim and Flexible
Advantages: Has ability to psychic control and/or manipulate things, calm, sarcastic sense of humor, government-vulnerable grade hacking abilities, experienced in various forms of combat and situations.
disadvantages: Overuse of Psychic powers recently lead to highly unstable surcharges during recovery, and often leads to severe mind crippling headaches among other physical backfires, tends to have sudden moments of social withdraw (relative often jokingly call it "Temporary Hikikomori Syndrome") sarcastic nature can sometimes cause more trouble than intended, has a tendency of picking up random phobias, such as Clowns, Carrots, Phones, Dancing Rodents, and has a long standing phobia of near-death experiences, is deafly afraid of his mother's cooking.
Bio: Being born of a long blood line of assassins, Jamie learned at a very early age survival tips for various situations. Due to his natural abilities to tap into mind control abilities classified as "Psychonetic Enforcement" by his employers, Jamie was popular demand for high-end, high-risk, high-as-hell-pay jobs, often for Terrorist, Cult Leaders, Serial Killers, and of course, the common snake politician. Jamie received his nickname because his colleagues often could count from the number five, to the number zero, and receive a message of a successful mission. However, because of the long years of his youth dealing with such missions, Jamie has developed an sense of paranoia on the scale of a conspiracy freak, though he usually keeps it in check.
Thanks to the fact he had saved up more than enough money for retirement for newborn triplets, Jamie easily payed for college and is studying both Magic and Alchemy, for whatever reason why is beyond anybody.

More or less he has. The new girl is an NPC. Like all there kind the way to get information is to ask. The only tricky thing about her is her Mundane nature, her powerful mind or some other feature prevents her from witnessing what her mind can not comprehend. Of coarse she can comprehend a broken wall, so the question is what rebuilt the wall?

The cedit card
The card looks normal enough although its name is not fully readable. The most ne could make out is M****rCard where unknown letters replace the *. The acount number is oddly short 3001 000 0666. In fine print on the back is "If this card is lost or stole - tough!" One the front is th name of the owner of the card Jamie Sky written in the normal credit card fashion.
While holding the card Jamie has the urge to use it.

That would depend on the religion of the Mundane, now wouldn't it?
Don't forget, it's what the Mundane's brains refuse to cope with.
But a great majority of people have managed to trick themselves into believing in Angels and Demons without problem.
But if they manage to block them out, the wings just pop out of existance.
Which, in teh presence of a BANE, is actually very, very painful.
Which is why most demons go out of thei way to beat the living snot out of BANEs, and making a habit out of it. You'd be surprised out much out of their way those BANEs will go once you teach them you'll punch them in the face twenty-seven times if they get too close to you.
