Awesome! I am participating in this for sure!!! No one minds if I use the character from my comic I wrote this week, right?

Name: Noah Greenplyer

Age: 13

Gender: Male

Apperance: Okay, I bet this won't suprise anyone. Top hat. A vest with t-shirt style sleves, and an Artful Dodger style bow tie. Dark grey hair that's put off to the side. Somewhat tall. Usually has hsi hands behind his back.

Country: USA

Family: His mother, father, and eight siblings, five girls, three boys. I'm not going to name them.

Why at SS Education: To explain this, I'm going to have to go into Noah's personality. He's very possitive, even when things are negative, but not optimistic. Some what creepy if you don't know him well. He's very persasive, and doesn't usually raise his voice over a talking level. He merely observes things, and takes action. He's somewhat stratgic and it gets him into trouble. He can pick locks, but not like Gemma. He's a mechanic as well. 

So, getting to the reason. He's very perswasive, and manages to get himself into a bit of trouble at school (which he despises, but attended after his apprenticship was canceled so his mentor could play checkers with the clocksmith, but that's another story.) He was able to perswade many people to help him in many things, and was able to make such a fuss that someone could steal something and not know that the idea for stealing that thing came from Noah. He doesn't like stealing, he merely likes to pursuade people, and speeches in class aren't enough. He liked to see how far he could make something go. Eventually, his parents (who are kind of politician jerks, and don't even really know how they ended up with 9 kids) heard that kids at Noah's school were robbing stores, and not shoplifting or anything. Stuff pretty big. Sneaking into muesums at night. Long story short, they moved Noah to SSE thinking it would be a safer, cleaner environment. Having been there for three months, Noah has learned that the people there are unmoved my his pursuading, space uniforms are uncomfortable (so he doesn't wear them), and that months of painstaking strategizing can't get him out of there, nor no amount of begging his parents in letters. All in all, SSE is just a nuissance to him. He would much rather be causing some amount of chaos at home.

But SSE knows. They know, unlike Noah's parents, what he'd been up to at school.  

Other: He was apprenticed to the mechanic before the mechanic gave up his profession to play checkers. And he smiles a lot. I already said that.

A bit long. Sorry. 

Cool! Okay, hmm.

Name: Charlie Maverick

Gender: Female

Age: 13

Country: USA

Appearance: Long blonde hair that she allows falls all around and in her face with thick bangs, very big blue eyes, freckles, a light tan, very short for her age so she looks maybe ten or eleven. Wears a plaid shirt, jeans, and purple marker shoes with outlined stars. (shocking, no combat boots!)

Personality: Shy, quiet, has to look up at you when you talk to her, smiles a small smile, loyal, and quite friendly, but due to her "ability," randomly talks out.

Family: Five sisters, all older, mom, dad, and great aunt who is the only one she commonly talks to, and is very close to.

Reason she's at SS Education: She has the unnerving ability to guess what you're thinking, doing or feeling, even without even looking at you. This sometimes causes her to suddenly speak out. Her parents, who both work so don't often have time to have much to do with her, and her sisters are a bit weirded out by her ability, sent her to SS Education, with knowing little else what to do with her. She wants to go home, but doesn't know how.

Other: Has a secret stuffed bear she adores, and is also a very good artist. Also believes in Santa Claus.

I think this is the first character I've done that actually has her parents alive. That is not weird at all.

Sounds cool.

Name: Alex Greywood

Gender: Male

Age: 14

Country he's from: US

Family: Mom (Julia), Dad (Sean), younger sister (Leah). Parents divorced.

Reason he was sent to SS education: Talented hacker, often breaks into secure computer systems.

Other: Should we be doing appearance? Because that's probably important . . .

I'll just put his appearance anyway:

Dark hair, dark blue eyes, skinny.

. . . And that is all my detailed summary of his looks.

Ooh, space uniforms.  I hadn't even thought of that.  *evil smile*

Name: Andrew "Andy" Koutoushiki

Age: 14 

Gender: Male

Country he's from: Japan, because why not?

Family: Mother (Yukiko), Father (Akio), Various Obscure Relatives

Reason he was sent to SS Education: His parents discovered he had mental issues. He begged them to not use any medication because his only friends were ones other people couldn't hear or see. They heard that the SS was a good learning environment and they thought if he made human friends he might be more willing to take the medication. 

Personality: He's very quiet and shy when none of his friends are in control. He can become out-going and funny, or studious, or reserved.

Appearance: A normal looking kid with fairly long black hair. He's a little short and doesn't have very good posture. He's afraid of a lot of things and doesn't like cameras or mirrors. 

Other: Not very skilled at any particular thing. Likes music, but other people stare oddly at him when he listens to it. Gets bullied occasionally for things he can't control. 

When are we going to start writing? And is it okay if I draw some of my writing....? If not, I will write. Just curious.

@Theo

Yeah, go ahead.

Appearance: wavy light brown hair down to her shoulders in layers with a pink streak, green eyes, average height, always wearing Converse

Name: Celeste Porte

Gender: Female

Age: 16

Country of Origin: Italy

Family: Mother, three older brothers and a younger sister.

Appearance: Extremely skinny, pale skin, jet black hair that is long, wavy and slightly uncontrolled.  Is tall.  She generally wears dark clothes that fit close to her body, a black cloak and wears a mask that just goes around the eyes (anyone read the Stravaganza trilogy?  Just think that sort of mask.)  Wears bright red lipstick on occasion.

Reason at SSE: After becoming a champion fencer and was too advanced to go to College at 14, her mother decided to send her to SSE so she could stop threatening her brothers.

Other: Her mother is convinced she has many ailments, allergies, etc. so she has to take a lot of medicine.  She also plays the violin, Paganini style.  She reads excessively.

I'll join!

Name: Kioni

Ethnicity: African

Former country of residence: Japan

Gender: Female

Age: 14

Family: Mother, Father, baby cousin

Appearance: boycut black hair, never wears makeup, wears standard uniform spacesuit (with a few... modifications), relatively tall, broad-shouldered

Personality: extremely stubborn, somewhat sarcastic, doesn't like people seeing her projects until they are finished, fiercely protective

Reason she was sent to the SS Education: Her family moved to Japan when she was only a baby. There she developed a love for technology and electronics. Long story short, she accidently short-circuited one of her larger projects and set most of her room on fire. Luckily, they stopped the fire before it spread to the rest of the house, but her parents decided it would be safer for her in the SSE. Unlike most students she loves the school (she can make as many mistakes as she likes and nothing can catch on fire!), but wants to someday see more of space than the limited view from the window of her dormitory. She doesn't mind wearing the uniform spacesuit because it allows her to roam around outside during free periods.

Other: She likes reading fantasty and science fiction novels and playing pokemon. 

Name: Concord Krause

Gender: Female

Age: 14

Country of Origin: Born in China, moved to the US when she was a baby.

Family: Father (American), Mother (Chinese), younger brother.

Reason she was sent to SSE: Concord's favorite subjects are math and science, and through a series of troubling events became a decent forger. Her parents sent her to the SSE in the hopes that she wouldn't be able to cause too much her trouble or forge her way out, and that it would be a better environment for her. 

Appearance: Prefers to wear a black shirt, white tie, and black slacks when she's working. She wears contacts during the day and glasses at night. Brown hair, brown eyes, tannish skin, 5'7''. Her hair is medium length, but she usually wears it in a ponytail or a bun.

Other: Likes ties. Themesongs are Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down and Get Lucky by Daft Punk. She's good with signature and document forgery, can forge quite a few objects if she has enough information, time, and materials, knows her way around computers, but can only do minor hacking, and is currently figuring out how to launder money. Concord lies a lot, about small things, about big things, but she's constantly trying to manipulate the people around her.

Completely forgot her personality, sorry.

Concord is quiet and keeps to herself except for when she sees some benefit in talking to people. She was caught because one of the people she was forging documents for at her school told the school authorities, so she doesn't trust easily. However, she does get along with most people, if she decides she likes them, and she likes most people.

Name: Italia Berilli

Gender: Girl

Age: 13

Country: Italy

Family: Mama (Ilda), Papa (Antonio), Sister (Camilla), Brother (Bruno), Sister (Crocetta)

Appearance: Olive skin, long dark brown hair, brown eyes, short, usually wears flowing skirts and dresses

Personality: Funny, likes to joke, intelligent, gentle, good with kids

Reasons Sent to SS:  Italia knows every language in the world and is able to speak every one fluently, thus she is able to communicate with everyone, which is a help to the Italian government. Unfortunetly, Italia's postition in the government is dangerous not only for her, but for her family. No matter how much the Berillis beg the government to let Italia live a normal life and to not negotiate with Italy's enemy countries, the government won't yield to their wishes. Instead, they just added more work onto Italia's already busy schedule. Her parents then decide to put her in boarding school away from everyone.

Other: Italia has a photographic memory.
