♡ I, Bonnie Cook, have no idea what I'm doing.

♡ I have no idea what my element is. I don't think our family was ever very strongly connected to their powers, and I'm no different. There's some sort of pull in me, but I can never tell where he's coming from. It doesn't manifest itself obviously, and it's ... incredibly frustrating. If Ainsley can't bring it out of me, I am so dead.

♡ I guess I'm obligated to tell you this (thanks, Mal), but a few years ago I had a huuuuge crush on this guy?? He had no idea I existed, but I have grown up to be a pining mess. Ugh. Anyway, he ran in the last Gauntlet. And surprise, surprise, Mr. Perfect totally won. He's a guardian now, so I never see him, but the feelings never went away. It's so stupid, please don't make me keep talking about it! (view spoiler)[classic "he doesn't know but we're married" kinda deal (hide spoiler)]

ＩＶＹ ＳＯＵＮＧ

❀ 20 | ᴅᴀʀᴋ ʙʀᴏᴡɴ ʜᴀɪʀ | ʙʀᴏᴡɴ ᴇʏᴇs | 5'3" | ʙɪ | ᴇᴀʀᴛʜ | ʟɪ ᴍɪɴ-ʏᴏᴜɴɢ ❀

❀ My family lives pretty comfortably. We're privileged, for sure, and take a lot of things for granted, but Pops always said that we should: that it was a good thing. After all, he didn't win the Gauntlet just to see his son and his family not have fun with all the benefits that it extended. So, yeah, my grandpa was a guardian. From what my Dad told me, Pops did a lot of cool element-y stuff with him when he was a kid; he can use some of his powers, born of water like his father's, because his Dad taught him how to control it, but if he hadn't taken his father for granted he would've entered the Gauntlet for himself and learned to be just as powerful. Live and learn, I guess, Dad. We've had a lot of 'formal' training in the past, but most of it came from my Dad, who grew up in luxury. He had access to all the crazy trainers, all the books in the world, so on and so on. We don't live in a mansion or anything, just a spacious house with a nice portion of land. Through our rowdy, training adventures, we beat up most of the backyard... much to Mom's dismay.

❀ We, in case I didn't mention, are myself -- Ivy heeere -- and my two brothers (Han & Taz). Han, my older brother, missed out on Ainsley until he was twenty-four; he was only gone for about five months before he came back with one eye taped up in bandages. He's half blind now, but his spirits weren't tapered. He told us about eh Academy all the time (Dad listens in, too, wistful), and I'm sure my eyes are as starry when I hear about it as my younger brothers. Me being a girl didn't stop me from joining in on the fun, even if I knew I couldn't become a Guardian in the future. At least Taz still had a shot, that was good enough for me. Until it wasn't, because I couldn't finally get in. Everyone knows the story already, it probably starting to sound really familiar. The only difference here is that I wasn't forced to apply, I have nothing to prove either. My parents practically threw me a party when I was accepted into the academy. I'm here for the thrill of it all.

❀ My crazy best friend (aka Sydney) is here too! I can't believe this girl actually signed up for this. Okay, little flash back-- we met years ago. I was out and about that day, doing who knows what, when I came across a young girl getting the shit beat out of here by these mean-ass bullies. Let's just say that I put a stop to it; me and [TBA] have been best friends ever since. She's a measly little thing, not shit enough not to get into Ainsley, obviously, but not great either. I expect to be pulling a lot of weight to keep her in one piece this year. I may sound bitter, but I swear to god if you lay one single hand on her I will end you. Don't let the fact that I have boobs fool you into thinking that I'm not capable of choking the life out of you.

Linc -

• Temper so bad, he basically resembles a jacked five year old throwing a tantrum
• Your residential alcoholic grandpa, but hotter
• Snarky lil bastard who'd definitely rather be drunk rn

open to collabs because right now, his bio is a giant question mark

(view spoiler)[

ℓιηcσℓη "ℓιηc" кηαғε

Age: Twenty-five, aka he's one of the few hopeful dinosaurs still lurking around. Having applied for the Academy every year, he's really not sure why they accepted him on his last leg - but here he is.
Gender: Is this really a question right now? What the fuck do you think? The junk between his legs isn't just for shits and giggles.
Element:

Appearance:

eye color- Dark like his soul? and normally pretty closed off - if you were hoping to read all of his secrets, I can tell you, the way to those are certainly not in held in his eyes.
hair color- Just like his eyes, his hair is extremely dark and deep, but he's prepared for that graying shit to hit soon. Doesn't stress invite that fuckery even sooner too? Though if that was the case, he has a feeling he'd literally have not a single hair left on his head anymore.
height- At 5'9" and broad shouldered, Linc is positively stocky, more "attacking rhino" then anything else. It does help him build up speed a lot quicker when it comes to sprinting, though.
distinguishing features- The ink normally gets a few second glances, which typically earns a 'the third look is going to cost you' type of dry smile. The black flames span from his wrist, up his arm, across his shoulder, and into the side of his neck. Don't bother asking him why he got it: that's a story that will never get told.
Faceclaim: D.J. Cotrona

Bio:

Reason for Entering Gauntlet: That is the only thing simple about Linc: her name is Alessia, she's the only thing on this earth that could manage to make his eyes look innocent, and she has him in the palm of her tiny little hand. Completely and utterly. So yeah, if it takes winning the Gauntlet and becoming a goddamn Guardian to shape him up into something resembling decent, so be it. That saying, that fathers will sacrifice anything for their little girl? It's fucking true.

Age: Eighteen
Gender: Very much so a female
Element: Persephone hasn't the slightest idea what it could be as she's never felt an affinity for any element. At eighteen, that probably makes her a bit of a late bloomer. On her application, she kind of just chose a random one, air, and wrote it down. But like . . . If that's not what she is, she wouldn't complain.

hair color- You caught that right - her hair's blue. Like blue blue too, nothing questionable about it. She was going to dye it back to its natural color before going to the Academy, but she figured, hey, she's going to die anyways, right? Why not leave behind a cute carcass?

Gender: Is this really a question right now? What the fuck do you think? The junk between his legs isn't just for shits and giggles.

ＡＬＴＨＥＡ ＤＡＲＣＹ

♥ 20 | ʙʀᴜɴᴇᴛᴛᴇ | ʙʀᴏᴡɴ ᴇʏᴇs | sᴛʀᴀɪɢʜᴛ | 5'6" | ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ | ᴄᴀɪᴛʟɪɴ sᴛᴀsᴇʏ ♥

♥ Most women will tell you that they're here to prove themselves, or that they were their families last resort, I, on the other hand, am vain, and selfish. My most prevalent reason for entering the competition, and Ainsley, for that matter, is my boyfriend. Or... the man that used to be my boyfriend. I know, I know what it sounds like! I'm not a crazy stalker, or anything. In fact, we never really broke up. Not... traditionally. See, we'd been dating for a little less than a year when the accident happened. My exboyfriend, Kinecki, went through a lot of suffering, but one of the cruelest of injuries was to his memory. He forgot me. His brain just ... reset to before what happened between us happened. There was some initial push-back, from me that is, but he was in ruins, and both of our families convinced me to let him heal with space. I don't know why I went along with it, but it seemed logical at the time that he needed that distance; I guess I thought it would all be okay. Instead, his parents, who never really liked me anyway, handed me the short straw and said -- sorry, he's moving on. Moving on, apparently, meant entering to run the Gauntlet. I can guess that what he's going through has brought him fear, which has acted as an emotional propeller of sorts, but ... it's is crazy. This is insane. The Gauntlet? No. No, I can't lose him that way. He has to know. I have to make him remember somehow. I don't know how, but I have, too. And I'm not the strongest person in the world, but I'm going to guard his back even if he doesn't believe a word I'm saying.
♥ I'm an only child to parents who never wanted more than me anyway. They say that I bring enough sunshine into the house as it is. I'm a miracle, they say. Which might be true, my mother miscarried several times before having me-- meek and frail at birth. It's fine. I love my parents, and I love that they love me; I never really yearned for siblings, only had brief thoughts and wonderings about what it might've been like. They never last very long.
♥ My father was made to enter the Gauntlet under strict house rules, and had been mildly trained throughout his years. His mother and father were separated when he was 15, and he lived with his father, who passed away two months into his stay at the academy. That being said, he dropped out and came home before someone jabbed him in the back while he was sleeping. He did not care for the academy, but never saw what supposed terrors the real-deal would bring. He's not happy about me leaving, but he has amended that sometimes kids just had to do things for themselves-- a rebellious parenting style that he no doubt developed against the wishes of his still-living mother... Grandmother is quite frightening.

ＪＯＲＲＥＬ ＥＲＯＣＫＥ

〘 18 | ʙʟᴏɴᴅᴇ ʜᴀɪʀ | ʙʟᴜᴇ ᴇʏᴇs | ᴀsᴇxᴜᴀʟ | 5'4" | ꜰɪʀᴇ | ᴊᴀᴄᴋ ɢʟᴇᴇsᴏɴ 〙

✶ The word "spoiled" has been used to describe me more times than I could ever be bothered to count. I heard it from mom and dad, both. Waiters, helping hands, you name it-- spoiled, spoiled, spoiled. News flash, I don't fucking give a damn. I'm a piece of shit, and I know it; I like it, in fact. If father hadn't disowned my pompous ass than I'd still be spoiled, but no. Apparently, dabbling in magic, even if you're the son of a bloody fucking Guardian, is illegal and not worth whatever shame and wrath it might bring upon him. As if he cared. He just doesn't want me to have the kind of power he does. What a piece of shit liar. If he thinks this will stop me than I'd like to see his stupid face when I win. I'm going to be a Guardian, too, father, just sit back and watch me. I'll bet every record you ever set if I have to-- every single fucking one.

✶ Ugh *sneers* I very quickly came to find out that I am not the only son whose taken to the academy this year. Just my goddamn luck. Jax (Sara) is here, too. Jax is my father's bastard; lives out in the middle of fucking nowhere, feeding hay to horses and shoveling shit out from under their asses. Lives with his mom, who could've wrangled so much more out of my father than she bothered to-- I mean, a farm? she asked for a farm? gross. I've never met her, but Jax had a swell time at our house years ago. Showed up on our family doorstep one day, crashed a very boring dinner, and let loose that he was father's son. Mother was none to happy (did she really not think father had slept with other women, was this really any surprise?) and I sat awkwardly in the dining hall beside this stranger with nothing to say but "are you an asshole, too?" They made him leave. I followed him after he did, but didn't find out much ... only that people actually liked him. (view spoiler)[*mal voice* Jorrel would love to know his brother, but he'll never admit it (hide spoiler)]

✶ I'm running for money, and power. Why the fuck else would I be here if I already had both? I know what money feels like, I want it back. And I've seen what power can do, I want it for myself. I wasn't born into this world to be thrown out by my father like a piece of garbage. No. I'll kill to get what I want. In cold blood, if need be.

✶ His greatest power is the power of complaint.

➳ Distinguishing Features ➳ Artemis has a tattoo of a wave on the side of her breast for Matthew who had an affinity towards water. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]

➳ Bio ➳ The Lennox's are just another wealthy family who has had a Guardian in every generation. Artemis was born an only child and although that meant she wouldn't be a Guardian, she was still trained as if she would be running the Gauntlet. Because no Lennox, lady or not, would be weak.

Artemis lived a very comfortable life, she hasn't wanted for anything nor has she missed out. Her parents were wrapped around her finger and for a long time, it was a happy life. Around the time she was eighteen, her mom got sick. It was nothing too serious but the town doctor came on by and he brought with him a seriously annoying assistant, his son; Matthew Donovan. She could still remember the first time he laid eyes on her, with his longing eyes and hopeless smile, he had looked like an idiot. He had gone right up to her and introduced himself, but with his poor status and unwanted looks, she took one look at his hand, turned up her nose, and forgot all about him.

That is, until the next time he was at her house with his father, checking up on her mom again and he was once again giving her the same look whenever she was in the same room. As it would turn out, Matthew and his father would be around often her mom's health took a turn for the worse. They weren't quite sure what was wrong with her mom, she had her good days and she had her off days, but no matter, Matthew was persistent. Slowly and surely, the boy with the puppy dog look on his face grew on her.

She isn't completely sure when they crossed the line from friends to lovers, all she really knows is that it was probably the biggest mistake of her life. Artemis had always known that they could not truly be together but they still spent a good year and a half sneaking around and stealing kisses. In public, she acted like Matthew was just another person she couldn't give two shits about and it hurts not being able to be with the person you fell in love with.

Cheesy, she knows, but the cliche doesn't end there. After some time, they had grown tired of sneaking around and were taking bigger risks with each other. It was only a matter of time until they were caught. Before that could happen, Matt told her that he was going to run the Gauntlet, for them, so he could be with her. And like an idiot, Artemis let him go.

She didn't think anything could happen to him... (Still have some bio left)

➳ Reason for Entering the Gauntlet ➳ Artemis is here for Matt. She should have never let him run, she should have told her family that he was the one she wants to be with. She never wants to be that person again, someone who was a coward. Ultimately, however, Artemis has a good chance of winning, her family is made up of winners and she's trained her whole life, she just isn't sure if she came to win or if she came to die.

נαx αмα∂ευs кαяηυs

Age: Twenty-two
Gender: Male
Element: Earth, which he found out when he was twelve during the harvesting season. It was a particularly rough year and the crops were few and sparse between. He sat on the field for awhile, attempting to brainstorm quick, get-money-fast schemes -it had seemed smart to his preteen self- before the heat got to be too much and he went back inside. The next morning when he went to go feed the chickens? The crops were in full bloom. He was never been able to do it again though, much to his mother's disappointment.

Appearance:

eye color- Bright blue
hair color- Dirty blonde that was the source of many problems as a kid. He was no stranger to the mean questions and comments comparing him to an unwashed pig. Because he grew up on a farm and his hair was 'dirty.' Those were some original children in his town, that's for sure.
height- 6'2". Yeah, he's a bit of a giraffe, has been ever seen he was an awkward, lanky little kid. Having grown up on the farm though, that lank has turned into muscle. Turns out, hay? That shit's heavy when lifting tons of it at a time.

boop de doop (view spoiler)[Name: Kaneki Lee Cudrow [KC]
Age: 20
Gender: male
Element: earth

Appearance:

eye color- gray
hair color- light brown/dirty blonde
height- 5'11"
distinguishing features-
Faceclaim: tim borrmann

Bio: Kaneki never really had a rough life, like so many other students at the academy, his was always floating in the middle... never struggled because he didn't have enough, but never really had enough for anything extra either. But unlike a lot of other people, that was always something Kaneki was OK with. Believe it or not, he was happy. He had a great girl, his family liked her, he was actually starting to think he wanted to propose. Saved up enough money working at his family farm to buy her the ring and everything, it was kind of spectacular. He loved Althea, truly.

And then, you know, shit just had to happen because according to the universe, not any one person is allowed to be too happy. Kaneki was running an errand for the farm (if you must know, he was going to pick up a new pig to breed with their current pig), and on the way to the neighboring farm there was some kind of freak accident and the pick-up truck just exploded. He has absolutely no memory of it, so he couldn't tell you exactly what or how it happened. Kaneki was just lucky that a few people were going down the same road and pulled him out of the way of more damage, because he definitely could have died.

But hey, he might as well have died. Or that's how he feels about it sometimes. He just gets a little pissy and annoyed when he loses his hearing -- which became a side effect the town doctor couldn't diagnose after the explosion. Kaneki will start to hear a ringing in his ears, and then it's like someone put the whole world on mute. It first happened to him when he woke up from the explosion, and it has been happening pretty regularly since. It seems to happen when he's stressed out, which is basically all of the time... but the longest he has been without hearing was about two days, and then it came back.

Waking up for the first time after the crash had been absolutely terrifying for him, and even worse when one considers he couldn't hear anyone telling him what was happening, or that he had lost almost a year+ of his memory. After he got his hearing back, he learnt that he was basically reset an entire year, if not more, he couldn't tell you. Sometimes he gets little flashbacks or thinks he is on the verge of something, and then all of the sudden he isn't.

His accident was about three months ago, and he is still recovering from memory loss, but all of the physical damage is pretty much restored. Kaneki is just hoping he doesn't get hit in the head too heard, because that could probably do him dirty.

Reason for Entering Gauntlet: Kaneki wants a cure for his hearing loss -- he would rather die than live in a world without sound, dramatic, but it's true. He tried to learn sign language, he was just truly awful at it. When he loses hearing, it's like he is instantly terrified, because he's so helpless. That isn't something he wants to feel for the rest of his life, especially if one of these times his hearing just doesn't come back. Kaneki wants to learn to master his element, in hopes that he can survive without hearing if need be -- or find a cure, through money or magic.

Other:
His almost-finance (if she would have said yes) -- Althea Darcy

The girl he had a crush on before choosing to date Althea, and you know, the girl he currently has a crush on because his memory basically reset him right in the middle of that cesspool of feelings, none other than -- Juliet Donovan (hide spoiler)]

NIV BULMO ] ══════════════════════════════════
─────────────── 18 · femme · air · black · brown · 5 ft. 9

A PRINCESS. People have been known to call Niv that, but not unkindly. She's like the archetype for how most would perceive an actual princess. While much of her kindness can be seen as unusual ( little things like holding the door, saying "bless you" when someone sneezes, offering a stranger tissue when they cry; stuff that used to be the norm but just isn't anymore ), but it's simply how she was told she should be when she was growing up. Not a bad thing, in her opinion, and this sets her apart from a good number of students at the academy. She doesn't find it good or really profitable to be horrible to people and tends to be very polite. However, it doesn't mean she's not without her limits. There are certainly people that can upset her, but you'd never know it. Not with the way she remains composed and polite. She says her niceties and excuses herself and no one would be the wiser. Niv's used to hiding her reactions; it's not the way a properly lady would react, being so open with her emotions. It's unsightly. Or so she was taught.

Ever the optimist, Niv finds it difficult to really find fault in losing. She's the glass half-full girl, the one that takes her losses in stride. It's not easy to remain so positive in a downright negative environment, but she does it somehow. Maybe it has to do with the fact that she's very good at reading people. Like, scary good. You can be a lot more positive when you know that you're not the only person freaking out. It's comforting to know that she isn't the only person enrolled at Ainsley at the direction of her parents. She is neither embarrassed or ashamed. She might not have chosen this particular path for her life, but what can she do about it? If it's what her parents thought was best for her, then so be it.

There's a part of Niv that most people don't see, and it's how selfish she can. She can be downright possessive in wanting what she wants, but she's always been able to keep herself in check. Those harmless thoughts of saying one thing, the thing that could get her what she really wants, are always present. Keeping them at bay has merely become another facet of her life that she deals with. She smiles, speaks softly and politely, and tries not to be as selfish as she wants to be. Every now and then, she indulges herself. It's really harmless stuff, the kind of things she could let loose if she was anyone else. But she isn't; she's Niv, the princess archetype extraordinaire, and it's not in her best interest to let anyone know just how selfish she is.
