Just like any other Asians who has black hair and dark eyes, but has a slight complex about his fair complexion, small build and baby-face, which are the main cause of his constant identity crisis: he was often mistaken as a girl (and no, he isn't gay).
Name:
Miyu Kisaragi (如月 自由)
Gender:
Male
Hogwarts House:
Slytherin
Bio & Personality:
Miyu was born in London as the only child of his Japanese migrant parents. During daytime his parents worked hard to manage their small family cafe, but at night they were onmyouji (see 'Extras' for more info). He had been studying in a muggle elementary school until he received his Hogwarts letter on his eleventh birthday; his parents were delighted about sending him off to the Western wizarding school to learn other magical skills beyond his onmyoudou training. He also has some martial arts background, which was very handy for self-protection...even in wand duels and Quidditch. After graduation, he was currently helping out with the family store, but he had no intention to inherit it, ever.
A pretty laid-back person who is a free soul like his namesake - Miyu likes to laze around and do whatever he pleases. He has a sadistic streak in him and he enjoys trolling people.
Credentials:
He did exceptionally well for NEWT subjects that require large amount of wand work such as Charms, Transfiguration and DADA. Was okay with Potions and Herbology.
Passed his OWLs except for History of Magic, in which he shamelessly received a 'T' because he submitted a blank parchment.
Was a Seeker for his house Quidditch team but was never interested in the captain position.
Wand:
Cherry and phoenix feather, 11 inches, slightly springy.
Bought at Ollivanders, and it was the last cherry wand ever sold at the store. Ollivander commented that "with a lethal wood highly prized by his kind (the Japanese) coupled with an independent core that mirrors his inner self", it was a wand that had proven to be a very difficult one to tame. Indeed - Miyu had a lot of trouble trying to gain control over it in the beginning, but when he did, the bond between himself and the wand was so strong that the will of the wand literally echoed with its owner, allowing him to cast a wide range of non-verbal spells rather effortlessly compared to most others.
Pets:
A pied imperial pigeon (http://25.media.tumblr.com/e403ad24ca16fe4ba51842c8ed2b7d90/tumblr_mq6ytqvj3n1sbyn0xo2_1280.jpg) named Sora.
Patronus:
Raven. Note that it does not go with the widely-known reference to death and bloodbath but the ancient symbolism of wisdom, prophecy and...dark secrets.
Boggart:
Hourglass.
Amortentia:
Grass field, green tea.
Onmyoudou:
Onmyouji are descendants from an ancient clan who possessed purifying powers to ward of evil spirits and demons involving the uses of ki (innate energy within the human body) and shikigami (paper charms to call forth and control certain spirits to do their bidding, or in Western magic term, familiars). Unfortunately onmyoudou is a very specialized form of Asian magic, hence there is a controversy about categorizing their bloodline - they can be seen as Asian wizards with an uniquely 'pure' blood, or simply muggles with supernatural powers. His father was often furious at his laziness, so in the end he's only exceptionally good at using shikigami to create doppelgangers.
Shikigami (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikigami) --- Unlike the standard kind (http://www.google.com.sg/search?hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1366&bih=643&q=ofuda&oq=ofuda&gs_l=img.3..0j0i5l2j0i24l7.1121.1797.0.2010.5.5.0. 0.0.0.68.301.5.5.0....0...1ac.1.29.img..0.5.299.yp hWHuyt5bQ) that his parents normally use, Miyu's one is a simple paper cutting of a human figure (http://31.media.tumblr.com/b9aa112c87c9e1ae3ba209e33f25a919/tumblr_mq6ytqvj3n1sbyn0xo3_r1_1280.jpg), for creating doppelgangers. To activate its use, simply write the person's full name on the charm (in Japanese) while mentally channeling as much information of that person as possible into the doppelganger so that the double can be as close to the real person in resemblance. Most of the time Miyu used his doppelgangers as diversion puppets when he was about to be caught by teachers/caretaker for, say, being out of bed and sneaking around the corridors late at night, etc. He can also manually control the doppelganger through soul link with his double (for example, if he doesn't feel like going to class he can use the charm to replace him instead), but this requires a lot of willpower to hold on to the connection.
Trivia:
His family name 'Kisaragi' is an old Japanese term for the month of February, and the kanji of his first name 'Miyu' means freedom (a tweak from the actual Japanese romanji, which is written as 'jiyuu').
He was one of those "hatstall" cases, in which the Sorting Hat took longer time than usual to place him into a particular house (in his case between Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Slytherin). In the end he was sorted to Slytherin, and it caused raised eyebrows from his housemates.

Name:
Artemis Nightwind
Gender:
Female
Hogwarts House:
Gryffindor
Bio & Personality:
Artemis came from a humble muggle family and was only introduced to the magical world when her Hogwarts letter appeared on her doorstep. Her parents were reluctant to send their precious daughter to some mysterious academy far away and wished that she would continue her muggle studies in a respectable middle school she was enrolled into but they couldn't talk Artemis out of her determination to study magic. After graduation, she returned to the muggle world but she was still unemployed - her hard personality had pretty much scared off most bosses and HR managers.
A no-nonsense girl who is usually unsmiling and can be somewhat a perfectionist - Artemis is stern to others, but even stricter to herself, always striving to be better than before, which causes her to seem very competitive and haughty. She loves and hates with equal passion, unafraid to voice out her thoughts with blunt honesty. She can be temperamental at times and is quick to resort to mild violence when irritated or angered. However, behind her tough face she is actually an insecure girl who is trying her best to stand up on her own in the harsh reality, and wants someone she can rely on.
Credentials:
She was a genius in Potions; other than that she actually did pretty well for her OWLs and NEWTs.
She just couldn't beat Sarafina in overall academic ranking and Miyu in wand duels.
Became a prefect in her fifth year.
Never joined Quidditch - she is acrophobic.
Wand:
Blackthorn and dragon heartstring, 10 inches, rigid.
Ollivander described her wand as "one with such a strong personality that only the mightiest of the warriors can ever possibly control its prodigious strength", which clearly reflects her steely character.
Pets:
None - she isn't good with animals and they usually seem to hate her.
Patronus:
Tiger.
Boggart:
Herself.
Amortentia:
Curry, coffee.

Bio & Personality:
Serah was born in Singapore before her family moved to Japan when she was seven. During one of the initial pilot tests before her enrollment into IS Academy, she was found to have a very high synchronization rate with the IS core (comparable to Cecilia's and later Houki's data) but she shot down the offer to place her in the elite class and get sponsors to make a personal IS for her, choosing to start from square one with most other freshmen.
An archetypal tsundere bishoujo - harsh with her words, but there are times where she will show her dere side - Serah is a no-nonsense girl who is usually unsmiling and can be somewhat a perfectionist (she is stern to others, but even stricter to herself, always striving to be better than before, which causes her to seem very competitive and haughty).

Name:
Rei Yorutsuki (夜月 レイ)
(Ray, Zero)
Mutant Alias:
Sice
Age:
19
Loyalty:
X-Men
Mutant Ability & Fighting Style:
Hemokinesis (http://deadmanwonderland.wikia.com/wiki/Branch_of_Sin)
Rei is able to control his own blood freely - from shaping into various blade- and whip-type weapons to shooting blood bullets, and even covering himself with blood shield. He can break the limit of blood transfusion compatibility - that is, he is able to receive blood of others that may not be compatible to his blood type medically speaking, because his blood can easily overwrite that and turn them to become his, which replenishes his blood quickly from excessive blood loss when he overuses his power. As such, he can't manipulate the blood of others directly unless he mixes his blood in theirs.
However, his ability requires a lot of mental concentration to minimize unnecessary blood loss as he is drawing power from his own blood, hence he is unable to keep it active for prolonged period of time or else he will be down with anemia - pushing himself too far may put him in danger of getting into a coma or even death. Also, he can only cover himself partially with the blood shield (for now?) and is unable to extend that protection to his peers.
He prefers close over ranged combats - he isn't fond of wasting his blood as bullets, plus he pretty much sucks in shooting. He has some martial arts background and makes up his lack of strength with speed.
Bio & Personality:
Rei was born in Las Vegas to a Japanese father and Chinese mother, but his mother abandoned the family for another man when he turned five - Rei had no choice but to stand up on his own feet to look after himself, so as not to be a burden to his father. His dad turned into a workaholic in order to escape the anguish at the loss of his woman that hurt his pride and pretty much ignored his son's existence, whom he didn't know what to do with. Young Rei had been quite a queer child - when he was a baby he rarely cried; as he grew up his introverted personality became more and more apparent. He found it difficult to connect with people and his reclusive situation worsened, in which he started to take up martial arts training and throwing himself into various random interests and activities to fill up the emptiness in his social life. He was constantly been targeted by the bullies in school and in his neighborhood - even though he merely shrugged them off and went on with his daily life, he was unaware of the dark seed that was planted inside of him...
He had always known that he possessed some kind of strange power: he noticed that his blood didn't bleed out like most others do whenever he was injured, which made him seem like he could "heal" faster compared to other people. He had mistaken his ability as regeneration (albeit a slow one) but it turned out to be blood manipulation - he was simply holding back the bleeding with his mind. He only unlocked his mutant potential when he was eleven: a group of drunk gamblers who had just lost their money mugged and tried to rape him to vent their anger and frustration - that became a trigger that caused something inside of Rei to snap and killed them all out of sudden rage. That spur of violent blood-thirst started to corrode his inside and the seed began to grow...
His father had no idea about his power until Charles Xavier came down to their house and offered Rei a place in Xavier's School, to learn how to better control his ability. His father was shocked to learn that his son was born a mutant, but he was also surprisingly supportive of sending Rei away to the mutant school. Rei had suspected that his father was probably trying to get rid of a monster like him, but it turned out that his dad had been blaming himself the whole time for not being able to give his son the family warmth that he needed, and could only hope that if Rei hanged out with people of his kind, maybe that would help to change him for the better...
On the outside, Rei is a quiet, mild-mannered teenager who is rather oblivious to his surroundings and always seems to be lost in his own thoughts, preferring to work at his own pace, an odd loner. It's difficult to start a conversation and/or keep it going with him, for he pays little to no attention to the ongoing discussion and instead let his mind drifts off to things that interest him more, so sometimes he may suddenly change the topic at random and that often confuses the rest, or leave the group without prior warning. As one gets to know him better, hints of his sadistic side will start to surface; he rarely sympathize with others, secretly enjoying the sight of them writhing in agony. In truth, Rei is a kuudere, someone who is cold, blunt and downright sarcastic at first but may slowly warms up to you as you interact with him more - he just doesn't know how to be honest with himself and isn't good with words, so he may unconsciously offend others or can be quite cryptic at times.
Very few people know about the darkness caged away in his subconscious mind: Rei has a survival instinct so strong that he's willing to do whatever it takes to stay alive, even if it means killing the people who are closest to him without any mercy. It was lucky that Xavier found him before he went over to the wrong side, before he lost his humanity completely and turned into a killing machine. It is uncertain if his lust for blood is caused by the bad experiences of his past or a side-effect of his mutation...or possibly a combination of both. The memorial of Charles Xavier, Jean Grey and Scott Summers and the story of their death would serve as a powerful reminder for himself if he ever let his ability to go on a rampage.
The kanji of his family name, Yorutsuki, literally translates to 'night moon', while his first name Rei means 'zero' (hence the nickname). Also, his given name sounds very similar to the English word 'Ray', which becomes his other nickname.
His mutant alias, Sice (http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Sice), is from the scythe-wielding character in one of his favorite console games, Final Fantasy Type-0.
Trilingual - fluent in English, Japanese and Mandarin Chinese.

Name:
Holly Leadbitter
Mutant Alias:
None
Age:
21
Loyalty:
Brotherhood
Mutant Ability & Fighting Style:
Plant Manipulation
Holly has an extremely strong affinity with plant life, which enables her to have absolute power over all kinds of plants and can easily bend their will to hers. She has an obsession for toxicology and she enjoys breeding new poisonous plant species, creating new deadly poisons (or simply dangerously weird substances) and test them out on people who piss her off. She also makes good use of how most people tend to lower their guard around plants (they think that plants are pretty much a harmless, inanimate living form) which allows her to ambush or lure her preys into her traps.
Her mutant power's biggest weakness is fire, for fire can burn her pet plants to ashes. Also, she relies too much on her ability, hence she's no good with hand-to-hand combats; however, she makes that up with deception and trickery.
Bio & Personality:
Holly's parents were American environmentalists who were against the use of nuclear power. Her mother had her in the womb while they were on a working trip in Russia, but one of the power plants went out of control and the radiation affected the baby, which caused Holly to have a rather weak body ever since she was born. Her mother died after giving birth to her as she shielded most of the radiation from the unborn child. Holly went back to the States with her father when she was three, and her father remarried two years after that.
Since young, Holly had an intense connection with the plants around her, as if she could actually hear their thoughts and feel their pain. Her stepmother found out about it by accident (she saw Holly making the vines of a morning glory plant in their house backyard dance around her) and was disgusted at her, shunning her away and calling her a freak. A year after the father's remarriage, she had a young stepsister added to the Leadbitter family tree; as the sister grew up, she was also grossed out at Holly just like the stepmother did, and it didn't help that the father favored the younger one more. Soon, Holly was virtually cut off from the family that no longer loved her, and her bitterness towards them got worse - dreaming about various ways to poison her stepmother and sister and torture them to death became her favorite pastime. Her sister spread rumors about her "freaky plant power" in school and nobody would talk to her; some of them would bully her, and even destroying the vegetable garden patch to get on her nerves. She left the house when she turned sixteen and then she met Mystique, who brought her to join the Brotherhood.
Holly is unafraid to voice out her thoughts with blunt honesty, and she is no pushover - she loves and hates with equal passion, and you won't want to mess with her fiery temper, an ironic contrast to her seemingly-serene mutant power. Although she usually puts up a tough front, she can be quite a crybaby in secret.
Just like any other Asians who has black hair and dark eyes, but has a slight complex about his fair complexion, small build and baby-face, which are the main cause of his constant identity crisis: he was often mistaken as a girl (and no, he isn't gay).

Very few people know about the darkness caged away in his subconscious mind: Rei has a survival instinct so strong that he's willing to do whatever it takes to stay alive, even if it means killing the people who are closest to him without any mercy. It was lucky that Xavier found him before he went over to the wrong side, before he lost his humanity completely and turned into a killing machine. It is uncertain if his lust for blood is caused by the bad experiences of his past or a side-effect of his mutation...or possibly a combination of both. The memorial of Charles Xavier, Jean Grey and Scott Summers and the story of their death would serve as a powerful reminder for himself if he ever let his ability to go on a rampage.
The kanji of his family name, Yorutsuki, literally translates to 'night moon', while his first name Rei means 'zero' (hence the nickname). Also, his given name sounds very similar to the English word 'Ray', which becomes his other nickname.
His mutant alias, Sice (http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Sice), is from the scythe-wielding character in one of his favorite console games, Final Fantasy Type-0.

Name:
Holly Leadbitter
Mutant Alias:
None
Age:
21
Loyalty:
Brotherhood
Mutant Ability & Fighting Style:
Plant Manipulation
Holly has an extremely strong affinity with plant life, which enables her to have absolute power over all kinds of plants and can easily bend their will to hers. She has an obsession for toxicology and she enjoys breeding new poisonous plant species, creating new deadly poisons (or simply dangerously weird substances) and test them out on people who piss her off. She also makes good use of how most people tend to lower their guard around plants (they think that plants are pretty much a harmless, inanimate living form) which allows her to ambush or lure her preys into her traps.
Her mutant power's biggest weakness is fire, for fire can burn her pet plants to ashes. Also, she relies too much on her ability, hence she's no good with hand-to-hand combats; however, she makes that up with deception and trickery.
Bio & Personality:
Holly's parents were American environmentalists who were against the use of nuclear power. Her mother had her in the womb while they were on a working trip in Russia, but one of the power plants went out of control and the radiation affected the baby, which caused Holly to have a rather weak body ever since she was born. Her mother died after giving birth to her as she shielded most of the radiation from the unborn child. Holly went back to the States with her father when she was three, and her father remarried two years after that.
Since young, Holly had an intense connection with the plants around her, as if she could actually hear their thoughts and feel their pain. Her stepmother found out about it by accident (she saw Holly making the vines of a morning glory plant in their house backyard dance around her) and was disgusted at her, shunning her away and calling her a freak. A year after the father's remarriage, she had a young stepsister added to the Leadbitter family tree; as the sister grew up, she was also grossed out at Holly just like the stepmother did, and it didn't help that the father favored the younger one more. Soon, Holly was virtually cut off from the family that no longer loved her, and her bitterness towards them got worse - dreaming about various ways to poison her stepmother and sister and torture them to death became her favorite pastime. Her sister spread rumors about her "freaky plant power" in school and nobody would talk to her; some of them would bully her, and even destroying the vegetable garden patch to get on her nerves. She left the house when she turned sixteen and then she met Mystique, who brought her to join the Brotherhood.
Holly is unafraid to voice out her thoughts with blunt honesty, and she is no pushover - she loves and hates with equal passion, and you won't want to mess with her fiery temper, an ironic contrast to her seemingly-serene mutant power. Although she usually puts up a tough front, she can be quite a crybaby in secret.
