Username: Seblocry
Name: Maxwell "Max"
Age: 16
Grade: 11
Element: Earth (not vines or anything, just splitting the ground and making it rise, etc)
Appearance: Art/Character (c) Me
Personality: Whilst a little on the annoying side, Max is an over all OK person. He likes to make weird noises when he's uncomfortable or bored or when it gets too quiet. He gets along well with girls and is very sarcastic with boys. He also hates blonde hair, which is odd since most of his family is blonde.
Bio: Born on a small coast to the west of Canada, Max was raised with his single mother and little brother all his life. After a problem at his school, his mom decided it was best to send him to Kouyou because of his "special" side. When it comes to weapons, he uses a Swallow Blade that he carries around on his back. It's big and hard to use, so he refrains from doing so.

Opening Post

Numa entered the front gates of the school and looked around. She was sad to see the city the way it is, for there was very little nature here. As she looked around, she smiled at the sight, for it was obvious that it was not the case within these grounds. Everything looked so peaceful here. She saw many students of many different ages, milling around. She was obviously one of the last to arrive. She was wearing her usual khaki pants and white button down tshirt tucked inside the waist band and a blue suit tan suit jacket over that. Her brown leather shoes clipped along on the sidewalk as she walked forward, tucking her hair behind her right ear.

Tsukasa walked up to the gates ofthe school and looked up and said"I hope no one get's on my bad side today." Tsukasa clenched his sword and walked into the school grounds passing every one by in a swift movement and bumbed into a girl with purple hair and said "Hey you watch where your going or you may end up getting hurt."

Numa stumbled forwards as she was bumped from behind, barely keeping from losing her balance. When she heard the voice behind her say to watch where she was going, she turned to look confused. " I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be in your way." She apologized. She bowed her head respectively for a moment before looking back up to him. Her hair had falle forward in a curtain in front of her face as she had bowed her head, so as she stood, she tucked it behin her ears once more. She looked him up and down, her eyes stopping as she spotted his sword. " What are you bringing a sword to a school for?" She asked curiously.

Tsukasa said sharply"Don't bow to me if you have no relation to me you got that?" as he leered her in the eyes he reoplied"I carry a swod becasue I can but the real question is Why arnt you carring a weapon?" as he stood there talking to her he saw a look in her eye that made himfeal calmer then normal and said"Well just stay out of my way you got that?"

Numa frowned as he told her not to bow. She didn't understand, that was how she was raised. Wasn't it a sign of respect? She nodded though and smiled as he asked why she wasn't with a weapon. " I don't have a weapon becuase father said women are not to have weapons. He said they had no reason to defend themselves, for to take them away from a group of men to take care of them, you place a death sentence on their heads. I think it's retarded, but I still don't have a clue how to use a weapon, so I don't carry one." She explained. Her voice and smile said she was happy, but her eyes had quickly gone dark and sad. She moved to the side and continued to smile. " I'll do my best not to get in your way though, I am indeed sorry." She said, starting to bow her head again before recalling so she played it off as if she was just looking down to adjust her shirt a bit. She then looked up to him again and tucked her hair behind her ears, for it had again come dom in a curtain.

Staring up at the school, Max couldn't stop grinning. It was huge! Nothing like his old school! Not that there was very much of that left either... Shaking his head, he began making his way towards the building. His swallow blade--which he tenderly nicknamed Max Jr.--bounced on his back with each step he took. Behind him his suitcase dragged along on the pavement. There were so many different kids, so many different looking people... He was shocked at the number.
He made a low, throaty noise in the back of his throat. His nerves were starting to act up. He didn't have a clue where the dorms were. His mom had simply given him a ticket to Tokyo and slapped him on the back saying; "Good luck out there!" She didn't even walk him into the airport. She waited outside in the car while his little brother said farewell, bawling his eyes out.
Max could remember the feeling of his siblings face in his chest, his wet tears leaking out into his shirt. He grimaced. Snot and eye liquids were definitely not something Max enjoyed.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw a dark haired boy bump into a small, violet haired girl. They spoke for a moment, and Max swore he saw the girl's smile faltering a few times. What was going on?
Ever so much the gentleman, Max abandoned his quest to finding his dorm room and practically skipped towards the two. "Why, hello there!" He greeted in a sing-song voice. He stuck his head between them, cutting off whatever they were saying. "I was wondering if one of you two jolly people could give me some information as to where the dorms are? I've seem to misplaced my map somewhere." He grinned again, even brighter than before, and made sure to look mostly at the girl as he spoke. It was a lame conversation starter, but if it was trouble going on between them he'd do his best to stop it.

Numa took a step back as Max appeared, instantly noticing his weapon as well. " Maybe you were right in your asking why I didn't have one being the better answer." She said uncertainly. She then looked to Max's face and bowed her head, tucking her hair behind her ears again."Hello, um, I'm new to this school myself. But I have the map memorized so you're more than welcome to use mine if you need to." She explained. She put her hand in her back pants pocket and pulled out a small paper folded up multiple times. She unfolded it and held it out to him, revealing the school floor plan and level plans on it. " Do you recall which dorm you're in? I hear they have girls and boys dorms on the smae floor, even some have to share dorms." She explained, blushing at the thought of it.

Maricor fidgeted beneath the tree she was leaning against. New people... so many new people... She hated new people. What if they didn't like her? What if they were mean? She watch as a young girl admiring the building was bumped into. She suspiciously watched the exchanged between her and the boy that had bumped her. The violet-haired girl seemed apologetic, the boy seemed not to buy it. Best to avoid that boy. She thought curtly, and stepped out from under the tree and began to make her way to class.

Tsukasa walked off into the school building and started to open his locker when a letter fell out of it as he looked at it he said"Meh, another one who is it this time it beter not be ashley from the freshman class." as he picked up the letter he read it quickly and said "Zero movment: Gust." as he said tha the note flew into the air and left the building hitting a girl in the face on accident.

"What the-?!" Maricor was startled as a piece of paper smacked her in the face. She cursed quietly and peeled it off her face. What is this?? She turned the note over in her hands. Oh dear... this looks like... she blushed as she realized she was most likely holding a letter of confession in her hands. She looked around for the person this belonged to. I should probably return this... but to who? She wandered to the building, all the while looking for the letter's owner.

Max took the map handed to him with a smile. "Shared dorms? Doesn't sound half bad. Maybe my roommate will be a girl!" He laughed. "Thanks for this, though. It's exactly what I needed! I think my dorm number is..." He frowned, trying to remember. Frantically he fished through his front pockets of his jeans until he brought out a small slip of paper. He read it carefully. "Number... 2!" He smiled to the girl. She was staring at him.
Suddenly a little nervous he made a strangled noise, much like a dying camel, in the back of his throat. "Anyways, I'm gonna go drop my stuff off and head to class so... See you around, maybe!" With that, he was gone, bouncing up the school steps, following the map attentively and all the while making sure nobody accidentally touched or brushed up against Max Jr. (his swallow blade). The last time someone did that it turned out to be a horrible day for him and the poor old man...

Maricor stood in the hallway doing her best to avoid all the students bustling around the area. No matter what she did though, she was bumped into every other moment. She moved uncomfortably to her locker and stopped. She spun around and scanned the crowd. So many people.... who do I give this to??? She could almost feel her stomach dropping as she looked for the letter's owner.

Tsukasa walked passed a girl wholding the same note he had blown away he looked at her and said"Hey the letter in your hand where did you find it?"he looked at her and started to wonder if it was her that the letter came from and as he thought about it he began to blush.

Maricor blinked. "Well um... I uh foun- well no it just umm... well it came to me. And I'm trying to get it where it belongs..." I wonder if he know anything. She extended the letter to the boy. "Do you know where this goes?"

Tsukasa replied "It's mine and I thought, that I had gotten rid of it but thank you for finding it. By the way did you read it by any chance?"he looked at her and turned his head and said"Well if you did it doesn't mean I'm taken or any thing its just the girls of the school trying to go out with me."

Maricor found herself oddly embarrassed and blushing furiously. She wasn't sure if she should classify the boy as arrogant or brutally honest. "Oh... w-well then..." she finally stuttered and thrust the letter at him. "Excuse me..." She quickly moved away from him, hoping to hide her embarrassment about the whole thing. I need to get better at talking to others... I'll never make friends this way. Oh well, at least the letter found its home. She thought sadly about her lack of a social life. She always saw kids walking and laughing together, why was it so hard for her just to say hello? She frowned. Well its a new year... No reason I can't make a change for the better.

Max paused as he stood in the hallway. It was crowded, very crowded, and he knew he was making a hassle by blocking up the flow of students but he was getting confused. How did the map work anyway? He turned it sideways. Nothing. He flipped it upside down. Nope. Nadda. He wondered what the little arrow with N meant at the top. Was that North? Even if it was, how was he supposed to know which way North was to the school?
He sighed and hung his head. It would be so much easier to just ask someone. Why didn't he think of it sooner. Moving out of the way of students, he began searching the crowd for a face that didn't look too busy or lost. Finally he found one. A girl his age walking down the hall, looking down to the floor, as if thinking to herself.
A bounce in his step, Max hopped over to her and casually stepped in her way, stopping her from walking anymore. "Hi! Uh, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind helping me a little..."

tsukasa wlks down the hallway to enter his class when he hears the school bell and walks in the class to hear nothing but girls talkigna bout him and guys talking about the girls when he says "Hey people sit down the teacher is comming!"as he said that he saw the teacher come in.

A look of surprise flashed onto Maricor's face. She hadn't expected to be stopped so suddenly by this boy. She tilted her head in a cat-like expression of curiosity. "Well... I suppose I might be able to help you.... What is it that you need... ummm sir?" She floundered over his name and grinned sheepishly.

Is this what public school is like? With eyes bugged out, feet planted on the ground, and his legs trembling like jelly, Kevin gawked up at the building in front of him. People were rushing to get inside, each in a hurry to get where they need to be. Others walked around calmly, reuniting with friends from the previous year. Kevin couldn't find the strength to regain feeling in his legs. Never before had he seen a mass amount of people within one place, it didn't help that he barely understood their language. Maybe he could pretend he was deaf, just mute the sound coming into his ears. Or maybe he could be the wall flower in the corner of the room.

A exasperated sigh escaped his lips. Where to first? He thought to himself. Using up all of his will power Kevin stepped forward, instantly regretting it. M-Maybe I-i could j-j-just escape home and teach myself. The stress of being around so many people were already affecting him, he was stuttering in his own mind. How would he survive? He just wanted to disappear or shrink to a tiny size. But Kevin couldn't back out now. What would his parents say to him? They wanted him to be the smartest kid he could be, so he could take over for his father one day.

I'm not going to like this.. Slinging his backpack over his shoulder he entered the school. In his hand Kevin gripped the map of the school. He didn't bother going to his locker, since he could hold everything in his bag. Thank god for space genetics from his father. Looking out of the corner of his eye he saw two people talking. One was a brunette and one had silverish hair. Why does it seem so easy to talk to people? Just look away Kevin and avoid making a fool out of yourself. Kevin turned his head around to look at the ground, and he started walking again. Don't stand around in hallways! Someone will crash into you, and that involves having to apologize, what a disaster that would be!

"Maxwell, but everyone calls me Max." Max smiled, sticking out his hand towards the girl. She seemed nice enough. Pretty too. He didn't doubt that she could help him. "And I was uh... This is going to sound really, really, really lame but... um..." He made a face, and a small, almost cat-like sound came from his throat. "You have any idea where the dorms are at all?"

"Oh.. well yes I do know." She started to move to take his hand, hesitated and dropped her hand back to her side. "Umm we'll probably be late for class but I can show you if you want... my teachers are used to me not showing up... I'm not good with crowds but I keep up on home work." She smiled and signaled Max to follow her. She trotted along the hallway towards the dorms. "I'm in dorm 4... i-if you'd like a tour sometime I could show you around. You can knock anytime... I don't have a roommate this year. Oh a-and... my name is Maricor (marey-core) but... you can call me M-Mari if you want." She smiled as tried to cover up her embarrassed stutter. Well.. here we are. She pointed to the elevator. "Floors 15 and up are all dorm floors. Umm... Do you want me to walk with you?" She blushed a bit. I probably sound like a stalker right about now...

Max smiled at Maricor. He knew she was the right one to ask. "That would be great, thanks!" He glanced at the elevator. A school with one of those had to be pretty wealthy. He wondered just how rich the school was. "It's been awhile since I moved to a new school. My old one was pretty normal." he remembered how small it was, how everyone knew one another. "But this one seems..." He laughed quietly. "A lot different."
He shifted sideways to look at Maricor. She was watching him curiously. "Lets go and check out my room, okay? I need to drop Max Jr. off before I go to class... Do you mind being late a couple more minutes?"

Maricor shook her head. "No, I don't mind. Most of the teachers know me here... so it shouldn't be much of a deal. I hope you don't get in trouble though." Maricor frowned as she waited for the elevator to arrive. The doors slid open and she stepped lightly in. She watched patently as Max selected his floor and the elevator doors closed, and the contraption moved. "This school is pretty interesting... It's scary too though with all the people." She blushed and looked down at the floor. "I...I never really met alot of people growing up... my dad and mom made sure I didn't get out much. They said I was dangerous." A sad look crossed her face for a moment, but then she looked up and smiled. "But I hope this year is different. I'd like very much to call you my friend Max" She turned and bowed a little bit, then extended her hand to him. "Ok?"

Tsukasa walked down the hall after his home room got over and noticed the girl from this morning in the hall way as he walked past her he said "Thaks for the letter i owe you one.
" as he continued to walk off to class he saw a student who he fought last year.
