at the end of the 21th century, the government suggested a new rule; every kid from the age of 15 had to be send ot a special school, The School. They had to be there for their next few years until they turned twenty and had learned to obbey elders. They weren't allowed outside school, they weren't allowed to do anything normal kids would do, no partys, no fun, no love.
Some of these children tried to escape The School, but it seemed taht at day they were always caught and brought back. it was impossible to stay away day and night, they were closed in. One very smart student, named Aarold Westin, invented a special way to leave The School at night and come back before dawn. He passed his secret over to a few other children on The School, and only they would wanted to be free so much were able to become; NightWatchers.
The School at day: Student fallow normal classes, like gym, history and Math. But also classes like fighting and total dedication to the law.
The School at night: at night The School, which was a big as an entire country the size of Germany, was a quiet and scary place. No one was allowed to or daired to leave his or her room at night, because they said Demon walked the halls at night.
in and outside The School:
the whole school was seperated in a few large buildings, as big as cities, between those cities there were train routs and besides that Forests and old ruins of former cities. Outside the school people lived in war, a political war, there were a few of people that didn't obey the law of listen. They did what they wanted without being yelled at all the time, in the eyes of the Normal citizen they were the enemy, but in the eyes of some they were heroes.
The Nightwatch:
every night a few students become different, to escape school raders and the daily life, they have to fly. That's why they grow wings every time they jump out of a window. It's a special pill that Aarold made, he used it on animals at first and threw them out of the window. Other student thought he was mad but at the end he made it possible to fly, to grown enormous wings and cut lose from The School every night. During the night NightWatchers can do as they like, the can play games that aren't allowed at school such as soccer and base ball, they can drink beer and alohol, they can talk about things that they can't talk about at school and most important they can go where ever they want to go. There are four kinds of Nightwatchers, with all their differnt looks in wings. Osare il diavolo: They have dark colored wings and a Devil's tale, mostly they are the cool boys. For this kind of Watcher you have to get the red pill. angelo custode: They have white wings, like angels and a long tale. They are mostly sweet girls. For this kind you have to get the Yellow pill. pesce volante: They have light blue, green like wings, made out of scales. They have four wings, different from the rest. They are mostly the really smart kids. the Blue pill is needed for this kind. Aquila elegante: They have wings like eagles, with a short strong tale. They are mostly the other children, those who have chosen for a life of meaning. The Brown pill is needed for this one.

(hehe.. I knew there would be questions.. >< 1. it's a global government, they don't learn anything about it at school. The Government is made out of Elders, that's why the children have to listen to the elders. 2. You mean because it's so big?? 3. the names mean: Dare Devil, Guardian Angle, Flying Fish and Elegant Eagle. All in Italian. : P 4. You have to get the pills from a NightWatcher, they can be everyone.. But if they see you have trouble with The School they might give you a pill.
The School is placed in Rusia.

Name: Armod age: 19 Gender: male Watcher: angelo custode- Guardian Angle (though he’s pretty cool >.<) Best class: math, science, social studies Personality: He appears to be a loner of kinds, but he's just reserved and very quiet. In his silence, he's a good observer and a people person. He can read people like a book, almost telepathic-like. He's very bright and intelligent, with a mischievous side. Eyes: black hair: black, a little long Body: fit, trim, slightly muscular Home country: Egypt History: He was one of the first 20 students to get a pill and join the NightWatch. He's almost 20 so he's totally one of the upper classmen. He's one of more the leaders in the "social" stuff.
Name: Mekida (Kida for short) age: 18 Gender: female Watcher: Aquila elegante- Elegant Eagle Best class(s): Music, Art, Science Personality: She's very dexterous and tricky. She works for herself and uses what can to get by. She's all into "social promotion", as the social classes in the student body is strict and very hard to climb, but Mekida has done well and is in. She’s very charismatic, which she uses to her advantage. Eyes: dark violet hair: black, wavy Body: slim, fit, alethic Home country: England History: She's with Armod, and became a NightWatcher two years ago, after runing away from home. She ran away so she wouldn't have to go to the school, but was found four months later and dragged there, kicking and screaming.
(question: Can I have a little...trick to this? Make it a little interesting... You'll see once you read this bio. This probably will be a minor character. If not, I'll delete this bio, just let me know!)
Name: Ryiah age: 18 Gender: female Watcher: Black Falcon Best class(s): Straight A student, martial arts, science, history Personality: She’s mischievous and cold. He’s very impassive, and indifferent (a very malovent character) She’s quite sadistic and cruel. People trust her, but she abuses her power, and with that, she is quite powerful and influential. Eyes: dark red, black hair: dark brown, long Body: slim, fit, athletic Home country: Japan History: She might be a 'NightWatcher', but that doesn't mean she's with them. She has her own ways and means of flight. She's what people have come to call a BlackFalcon. No one exactly knows how they got their wings, but they have them. There's few compared to the other NightWatchers, but their numbers are growing, and there is tension between them and the NightWatchers. There's not much known about them. They just started appearing.

Name: Mikael Age: 18 Gender: Male Watcher: Osare il Diavolo--Dare Devil Best class: Fighting
Personality: Has a light, playful nature, no matter what the situation. Likes to joke around. Tends to be somewhat of a flirt. However, if provoked far enough, he can become dangerously mad. Eyes: Green hair: blonde, longish, pulled back into a ponytail Body: tall, about 6'1". Fairly well built, not bulky, but fit and strong-looking. Attractive. He looks good and knows it.
Home country: Australia History: He's always been rather free-spirited. He stands up for what he feels is right, and though he gets in trouble for it, he keeps on speaking out. He feels the school is trying to repress him, and so he gladly joined the Nightwatch when given the chance.
Name: Sam age: 18 Gender: Male Watcher: Pesce Volante--Flying Fish ((hmm...just doesn't have the same ring to it. xD)) Best class: ...he's a deep thinker...so I suppose if there's a Philosophy class...
Personality: Calm, even-tempered. Soft-spoken when you first meet him, but warms up to you quickly. Eyes: Brown hair: shiny black, tinted red, brushes his eyebrows. Body: about 6'. Sort of on the skinny side, but still fit.
Home country: United States History: Mikael's friend. He's taken it upon himself to try and keep Mikael out of trouble--nearly a lost cause before he'd even started. Joined the Nightwatch after Mikael.
((I'm wondering about the "jump out the window" thing. Is it an automatic reaction, or can they control when or if they grow their wings? Like, say, they got pushed out a window, and they couldn't reveal themselves, could they stop the wings from showing, or not?))

Aarold sighed as he walked into the science class room, he sat down on his normal place, allready holding his hands out to look at what the teacher had put on his table. He put his glasses right on his head and lays his book bag on the ground. The teacher stared at him with a smile of illness. Then turned away as a student asked a question, as was arranged. Devon walked past him, not turning his head away from the board while he lay a small note on Aarold's table. He was one of the Nightwatch, for allready a very long time. And all had to act swift and without letting anyone notice them. They had there special signs and decided not to talk about the Nightwatch until the night. Other then that, notes were the perfect solution, only it had to be done fast. Aarold opened the note under his table, not looking yet. He watched while the student who asked the question came walking up to him, shading the vision of the teacher, so that he could read to note. It was a warning, so students had gone missing, and after so many weeks it became clear that something was happening. He nodded to the student as she sat down next to him." Thanks." He whispered to her, while handing the note back to Devon, giving him a sign to pass it on to others like him. Soon anyone who was with the Nightwatch would know, and the passing on would only take until the break.
Zachary sat down in the grass, opening his guitar chase. He took it out as if it was made of glass and lay it down on his leg. He looked around to see if any teachers were around, yes it was bad to skip a lesson, but his friends were going to tell around that he was sick anyways. He played softly not looking up from the strings, until he heard some people talking. He rose his head, seeing only two other students walking over the brick path towards the ladiestoilet. They were talking quiet secretly, and he couldn't make out the words. Then one handed over a note to the other one. As they saw him sitting in the grass they smiled as if nothing had happened. Zachary didn't know why this caught his attention that much, it was just two girls passing simple little notes to eachother. He was probally just curious, because what was in that note that the two couldn't discus on their way to the toilet. He kept following them with his eyes from under his hair as they walked on. Strangly enough, when they came back, they took a total different way. Going right where they had come from the right. He shook his head and went back to playing his guitar.

Mekida had read over Arold's shoulder. She gave him a smile, but her eyes said something else: Are you serious? When they make eye contact, as it was easily done, with her so close, she made a few quick gestures with her fingers, like they were dancing together. It was their form of sign language. And it'd been Mekida who'd made it up and spread it to other NightWatchers. It'd taken but a few weeks before all the NightWatchers had started to use her sign language. Mekidan they called it. She liked that. Because of her invention, it'd gotten her noticed by some of the senior members of the NightWatch, especially by Aronld. He made a few movements back with his fingers: I'll talk with you tonight and with the others. Spread the word. Meet at the lark tree.[/i She gave the slightest of nods, her strange violet eyes flashing.
Ryiah relaxed against her seat, her dark eyes observing the room. Bored, she looked at her nails, which reflected back her face in their sharp surface. Tonight would be quite interesting. Stupid NightWatch. So kids were disappearing. Fine. With fewer NightWatch, Harus (derived from the Egyptian falcon root) could grow. She thought a moment, before finishing her own note and passing it on to fellow Haruns.

Mikael sat staring blankly out the window, bored in his math class. He hated work in general, but math in particular. It wasn't his best subject, though he'd once been good at it. Gazing down at the yard, he saw a boy playing a guitar. This piqued his interest--it wasn't often you found someone else who tried to break the rules. He suspected that it wasn't "approved" music. A sharp cough brought his attention back to the lesson, and he faced the board with a sigh once more.
Sam recieved a note from another Watcher and read it surrepticiously under his desk. He looked over at Mikael, who was staring out the window again, and coughed once. Mikael turned back to the front of the room with a sigh, and the teacher gave him an annoyed look. Sam rolled his eyes, but waited to pass the note to Mikael for a while longer. He paid attention to the class, but at the back of his mind he wondered about how so many students could be disappearing without anyone noticing. This did not bode well...

Aarold sat down on one of the tables on the playground during the first break. It was nice weather outside, meaning there was no rain but it was still cold. So, everyone was sitting with their jackets on. He received the note back after a few minutes, it had gone round to everyone he could presume. The fellow that brought him the note was an older boy, he could guess that that person was about in the same classes as himself." Sit with us." He said, not taking his eyes of the note but talking to the messenger anyways. He didn't know his name, but he didn't have to. Devon was known for knowing not only all the names of the watchmen but also many more. The boy's name was Mikael. Aarold asked him to sit at the table and he didn't, but yet it didn't mean that he could talk. Because Aarold had other important things to do. He turned to Mekida." Can you send something round?" He asked her. She nodded. "Okay, tonight is gonna be 'Like Thursdays', tell that all the others." He smiled as he said it, like it was very normal to ask anyone to do things for him. 'Like Thursdays' was a code, one that referred to what used to be their night of meetings and discussing anything. Now, it was a code, meaning that tonight they had to go over to fact people were disapearing, they couldn't just speak out loud now. Teachers were watching. Mekida wrote his words on a little paper and gave it to a group from which two were Nightwatchers, then she came back, and sat down next to him. "Anyone who had the answer to the history homework?" Devon asked, breaking the normal silence, while he ate the food from the catrine and opened his bag to take out History books.
Zachary lay his guitar on his bed and took his bag, tonight he would play some more, for that he needed to go outside again, else everyone would hear it. He sighed as he saw the row at the catrine from the stairs, the break would only last a little longer, it would be a miracle if he was able to get some food before the next lesson would start. He walked down the stairs, his bag over his shoulder and his hand through his hair as he sighed again. Just a little further on the way people started to scream, it took his attention off his walking and he bumbed straight into a girl with long dark brown hair. (hint, hint, Kyana : ) "Hump, sorry."

Ryiah gave Zach a look. “What is that screaming about?” she asked. “Humph…”
Mekida smiled, sitting taller. “Heck yea. That was easy… You didn’t get it?” she said with a laugh. “No,” he said smugly. “So what were the answers missy?” he said, with a smirk. “A, B, B, D, C, A, A , B, C, A, D,” she recited perfectly. “No shit!” Devon cried. “You’re playing with me…” he said with a disbelieving laugh. Mekida laughed back. “Well I’m not sure about number two… but yes, I think I’m correct. It’s on the French Revolution and because of the crazy rebels, it led to millions of dead.” “God, Mekida…” Devon said, as he looked up the answers in the History book. “You are seriously scary.” “Got a good memory,” Mekida said, tapping her head.

((I wasn't sure what you were trying to say about Mikael. "Aarold asked him to sit at the table and he didn't, but yet it didn't mean that he could talk." So, I'll just...do what I think I ought to. If I may, I'd like it if you didn't do any power playing with my characters. You don't know what I would have done. However, had you said that your charactes were sitting there, I probably would have come over anyway, to try and get mine involved. But please, it makes my experience much more fun when I roleplay if I can choose what my characters say and where they are/what they do.))
Sam passed the note to Mikael after class, and then with a wave moved off towards his next class. Mikael walked outside and saw Aarold, so he took the note over to him. Aarold invited him to sit with them, so he settled down on the bench, but gave the others a little room. "Oh, is that what it was about?" he asked Mekida. "It didn't make much sense to me."

Mekida laughed. "Wow, I didn't think it was that difficult..." she said. "Well I'm sorry I'm not as smart as you..." Devon joked. Mekida rolled her eyes. "Basically the teachers say that the French Revolution is an example of civil unrest and rebellion. They say that's what happens when people don't follow the law...That it was the right of the leader to make the decisions and have all his subjects follow him..." Mekida crouched lower, her voice falling to a whisper. "But they forget to tell us other things..." "Like what?" someone asked. Mekida's eyes flickered. "Like how the rebels were fighting for their freedom... for rights not granted to the likes of them! And how it was truly a revolution, as bloody as it turned out to be... Teachers always portray them as bad. But do any of you know the lines, Fair is foul and foul is fair...?" Mekiad asked. "Isn't that from Shakespeare or something?" "Yes. From his play, Macbeth, actually. It means not all is as it seems, good is evil and evil is good. Like us."

((Thanks. It was just around the beginning of Galadas's post. I made my post match up with it though.))
Mikael blinked, then shrugged. "School has never been my best subject." he stated. "Unfortunately." he added with a sigh. "I like to be able to do stuff." He glanced around, then asked, "So, are you trying to compare us to those French fighting for freedom?"
Sam sat in a corner reading, passing the time until the next class. A girl walked past and dropped a note in his lap. He didn't move, just read on top of his book, then casually tucked it behind some pages. So there'd be a meeting tonight. He'd better find Mikael after the next class and make sure that he knew as well. A few minutes later the girl walked past again, and he held up the folded paper. "Hey, you dropped this." he said with a knowing smile. "Thanks!" she said as she took it from him. He nodded. "Your welcome." he said, then returned to his book.

Devila sat at on a bench with her friends and talked about the nightwatch. They knew a few kids in the nightwatch, but everyone knows that they exist. She looked across the courtyard to see Aarold. She had liked him a bit since he was just a bit better then her in science. She saw him that day passing secret notes and all the kids he talked to seemed so much stricter and less teenage like. She watched them move about in unison. They had clearly made this plan. She watched him get the note, though when he looked around quickly to see if anyone noticed, she turned away and hid her face beneath her hair. She looked back to her friends and kept talking.
Skiver climbed up to the first limb of the oak tree and sat there laying against the tree and looking down to the people who sat at the base without knowing he was there. He looked across the field and saw Devila, she stared at Aarold and then turned back to her friends. He smirked and then took out a peice of paper from his test last period. On it all the answers were wrong, they had to be, he didn't even bother to put down one answer, but on the top, an A.

(( sorry Tony, it was ecually that you had to talk.. or something. I have just weird ideas i guess ))
Aarold laughed abou tthe talk that Devan and Mekida held, only he ignored the whole conversation when something else caught his attention. A young girl, who he thought was staring at him. He knew her from Science class, and she was quiet smart. She was one of them he guessed. He didn't know, only Devon did. He turned back to the conversation." How happy I'm that we allready have covered that subject, we're now busy with the Rusian Revolution." He told. It was known that the school didn't want anyone to follow to much lessons together. They were split up sometimes. And some teachers were faster in covering their subjects than others." I wouldn't compare us to the Revolutionairies, they weren't much succesfull when Napoleon came by. I would rather compare us to the Revolutionairies in Russia during the first world war. They we're communists, fighting for equal rights for everyone. Isn't that more us?"
Zachary rose his shoulders." Probally like always. Fights, ya see them a lot outside of lessons. People jus' make fights over those Nightwatchers. I hear allready one out of ten is a Nightwatcher." He said to Ryiah, having no idea why he was talking to her anyways.

Mekida made a face. "A Commi?" she laughed. "Yea, sure. Whatever floats your boat..." Mekida glanced around warily, making sure no one was listening in or anything. "You guys, we might have more than one problem," she whispered. "What!?" Aaronld asked. "You mean more than disappearing kids?" he asked. Mekida nodded. "I hacked the system. Or at least tried to. They've rebuilt their firewalls and codes since last time," she said. Mekida was one of the best hackers in the school. Codes were her thing. "I couldn't find too much, but teachers have been hiring students to hand over NightWatch kids." "I thought it was cameras or something..." Arnold said. "That too, but kids are a lot more dangerous. They work with us, they are on the same ground as us. Stop the production," she said. "Don't give out any more [pills] for now. We don't know who we can trust."
Ryiah tensed. Oh god, not another NightWatch. "Come on, lets see!" she said, running a head.

Aarold nodded." Don't worry, I allready did when I heard that people were disapearing." Devon stood him by, hanging his around Aarold's shoulder to hear what Mekida was saying." These days the teachers are more strict, it's hopeless to go and find some more like us. They're too afraid of doing anything wrong." Aarold nodded on that too." Mekida, can you try to find a list of those spies?"
Zachary rose his schoulders and began to run after her. Having really know idea, why she wanted to see it. It probally wasn't even that intresting, just a few people blaming some others for being part of the Nightwatch.

Mekida nodded. "They've upgraded their protection as I've said. I'll work on it. But it'll be a while still. A week at the least, probably." "For now, be careful," Aaronold said. Obviously. Mekida stood. "Well I should go if I'm to get anywhere on my Biology," she said. "And that list," she said with a slight smile. "Lark Tree, tonight if you can come." she said, glancing at Aaronold who nodded. "Yea, pass the word."
"Shove off!" A kid snarled, pushing another boy back. "You'll be the death of us all!" the other boy countered. "It's your fault!" "What are you talking about!" "You, you are one of them!" Teachers ran to the scene, guards and probes. "Grab them! Bring them for questioning!" Ryiah caught the eyes of another boy across the way. One of hers, a Haruan. Stay back, she said with her eyes. The slightest nod, and he turned away. Ryiah looked at the boy. It was true, he was a NightWatch, as she used to be one too. She was different though. "It's nothing... lets get out of here before we all get in trouble," she said, turning away.
