Bio:

Not much to tell here, folks. Move it along. Nothing to see.

"................................."

**sighs**

Okay, fine. Just a nugget or two.
I was born in Melbourne, Australia to parents of Dutch ancestry. We moved to the US of A when I was 8. I am a former U.S. Army Ranger.
Before I joined the Army, I was studying abroad for a while to be a Watcher. Shocker, no? But changed my mind about that whole deal. The reasons don't concern you.

Also prior to my enlistment, I married my beautiful wife, Eleyna, who was already pregnant with our first child. Oh, and let's mention this nice little bit here....both she and my unborn child are dead now.

It was when I enlisted. During my time in the United States Army, I graduated from Basic Training, then went on to Infantry School. Immediately following that, I went through Sniper School....finally going through to being an Army Ranger.
I served three tours in Iraq in a special forces unit as a point man. For heroism in the line of duty, I was decorated with numerous medals. Big whoop.

Shortly after Iraq on leave, I and my wife were in New York's Central Park for a nice evening. The short of it? We were attacked by.......well, I can't tell you even to this day with any certainty what we were attacked by. They were impish creatures and moved too fast. All I could see were flashes of.....teeth.

My beautiful angel, Eleyna, was dragged off into a thicket while I tried to fight them off. She was eaten alive. I was nearly eviscerated. I'm alive because her screams drew the attention of New York's Finest. I think to this day those cops are still cursing their own eyes.

I became a Hunter. I seek out and destroy demons. Split-lickety. I'm very good at what I do. I went back to the world on the other side of the veil, the one everyone else is so blissfully ignorant of. I trained like mad, honing my body and other skills....learning various forms of combat and weapons on top of what I already learned. I really had no choice in the matter. I failed my Eleyna and my little baby, but I'll be damned if I'll let somebody else know the pain of such a loss, if I am in a position to help the situation.

In my endeavors, I have crossed paths with many slithery, vile, dark things that go "GRAAARRRRGGHHH!" in the night (let's be real here....what goes "bump" in the night? NOTHING!), most notably Vamps. I have routinely killed things that would make even the most pious of holy men go "Oh..SHIIIIIII...".

Due to my proficiency in fighting and weapons, I now teach at the Academy....as a favor to someone. We'll call him RG.

I am constantly in training whenever he I am able. I exercise fanatically to maintain my conditioning and stick to a balanced diet whenever possible. The darkness knows no holiday, why should I?


==============================


**Marcus rolls into the Academy parking lot noisily on his Harley motorcycle, muttering angrily at himself about how late he is to teach the newest class of Potentials. Removing his helmet and looking down at his jeans and formerly white T-shirt underneath his leather jacket, he sarcastically ponders, "Gee, ya think anyone will notice the copious amounts of blood on me? Nahhhhhhhhhh! Nothing to see here folks".

He stomps up the school stairs and braces for his day, which is off to a fab start already.**

:: Cassie and Kathryn start to walk down towards the office. Cassie tries to break the awkward silence::

"Umm, so whats your story? With all the disbelief on magick? It can be a bit to absorb, but you cant deny its existence"
 
::Again Kathryn looks at Cassie like she has grown a third head.::
"I went to an amazing school in Boston, then I was "called" or "choosen" and whatnot. Then my parents shipped me off here because they thought it would be "best" for me. As for the magic I do not believe in it because it is not real, just like demons and every other mythical thing."
::Kathryn knew that sarcasm was just dripping from what she was saying but she did not care, she just wanted to go home.::
"Why are you here?"
 
::after setting up her room, Autumn walks down the hallway::
(I guess I should become acquainted with the school. I wonder where that girl got that map.)
::hears a motorcycle and walks outside to see where it's coming from::
 
To Kathryn: "I am here because I was chosen, liker everyone else. Simples."

::As they turn the corner, they get to the office, Cassie walks up and asks about the late teacher then walks back to Kathryn::

"Apparently, he just arrived, and we should go back to the classroom... even though we only have like 20 minutes of the lesson left anyway"

::Rolls eyes::
 
Evie - :Feeling pretty bad that she's been to hardly any classes, looks worried for a minute, then shrugs, remembering all the fun she's been having in the meantime::

::Runs around the school looking desperately for a cafeteria::
"I am so hungry! Hey you! *points at Autumn* Do you know where the cafeteria is?"
 
Moon-ji Shin-teacher

:😛asses by large sign that says "CANTEEN"::
To Autumn "Oh, nevermind. I'm sorry!"
(oops! After this I have to go get my subject verified...God I am running so late!)
:😛igs out on a cheeseburger and french fries as fast as she can::
 
*Marcus bursts through the main Academy doors, still grumbling under his breath. As he begins to make his usual left turn down the hallway to the stairs leading up to his classroom on the second floor, he stops short.....having noticed a few of the newest Academy students gathered about.
They eyed him with mostly bemused expressions on their faces. He looked around at them, then down at himself with a sardonic smirk, in all his gore-soaked glory.

Looking back up at the girls, he thought about offering some sort of excuse for the way he looked, then thought the better of it.

'No, don't do that to them. It would be an insult. These girls may be young and relatively new to all of this, but they aren't exactly stupid.'

Finally, he addressed the assemblage, breaking the awkward silence.......*


"Take a good look, ladies, and get used to it. This is how it's going to be for some of you. It's part of the work, as distasteful as it may be. We get down and dirty in this gig.

My name is Mr. Cole. But you may call me.....Mr. Cole. 'But what did you mother name you?', you may be asking? Mr. Cole is what they named me. In other words, never ask to refer to me on a first-name basis. I am here to train you in the use of weapons of every sort, and to hone your bodies for the rigors of combat. Not to have tea with you.

Now........obviously my little morning escapades have made me too late for our introductory class. You may blame the overzealous H'Artra demon trying to impregnate a school bus full of children with it's spawn for that.

But tommorrow, the Powers willing, we shall begin our acquaintance in earnest. Be in my class in the morning....promptly....and don't make me come looking for any of you."


*He turns and walks down the hall towards the stairs, calling back over his shoulder....*


"Enjoy your day, girls."

::Hurries to the office to verify her subject, but is sadly given "Ancient Texts"::
"You have to be kidding me! How the hell was I assigned Ancient Texts?"
(Well at least all that Demon lore has made me proficient in most ancient languages.)
::Hurries back to get ready for her first class::
 
:: Walks down the halls alone ::
(Seriously? This is what I signed up for.. anyway whats next)
:: Looks at her timetable ::
(Ancient texts.... I may just bale)
:: Sees her classmates walking towards the class ::
(Guess I can get through this lesson)
:: Joins girls walking towards the classroom ::
 
Moon-ji Shin-teacher

::Watches as the girls file in, she bites the inside of her cheek feeling apprehensive::
"All right gals, all the seats are assigned, so please find your name and sit down."
::Shifts from one foot to the other, nervously, looks down at list of names::
"Umm...Cassie Pyle, would you please pass out these photocopies for me?"
::holds out stack of photocopied texts stapled together::
 
::Kathryn looks at her schedule and sees her has ancient texts and sees that she is close to being late again.::
She mumbles to herself, "Not late, not late untill the bell rings."
::She sprints down the hallway and jumps into class.::
 
Moon-ji Shin-teacher

::Watches as a new girl rams through the door and quickly finds her seat::
Kathryn: "It's nice of you to join us."
::Takes out the original text from which the others have been copied::
Cassie: "Thank you Cassie, for passing those out, please open the first page of your own once you've taken your seat."
Class: "Alright ladies, what you hold in your hands is a copy of a section from the Merenshtadt Texts. I don't expect you understand it, but that is where I come in."
Class: "Now most of the books in my class you might become familiar with in other periods, that is to be expected. I'm not here to teach you magicks, It's not a specialty of mine. I came in under the impression that I would be teaching Demonology, however that slot has been filled. The books I will be covering WILL be about demons, spells, magicks, and the slayer line. So please bear with me if you are learning about the same texts in other classes. Now...who here knows German?"
 
:: Watches the teacher suspiciously as she teaches ::
Moon-ji: "Uhh, I speak German, I havent done it in a while but I can understand most of it"
:: Stares down at the page and mutters some spell changing the writing to look english in her eyes ::
Moon-ji: "Do you want me to read it?"
