Name: Eric Young
Age: 14,345 (Appears 16)
Gender: Male
Status (teacher/student/hero/government official): Student
Species: Unknown
Nationality: Unknown (Appears Egyptian)
Appearance: Eric is a tall, standing at six feet and two inches, athletic looking individual with a broad chest. He has straight black hair, cut short and combed back. With large, almost almond-shaped eyes, a tapered nose, and thin lips, his appearance is very exotic. He wears a loose, short sleeved shirt of coarse material, the collar going down in a V-cut. Across his biceps where the shirt reveals his chest is a large diagonal scar that leads from his left and disappears up towards his right collar. Along his arms are more scars, some thin and clean, others thick and angry looking and varying from lines and circles to more elaborate designs. His legs are covered by pants that cut at his shins, also of the same coarse material, and hiking boots on his feet.
When not on campus, he carries his equipment with him at all times, which include: a Khopesh that is strapped to his left hip, with a stiletto resting in a vertical pocket. An engraved Colt .45 is holstered on his left side, while a sawed-off shotgun is clamped behind him at the small of his back and a crossbow is slung across his chest, resting on his back. He covers this miniature arsenal by wearing a long, dark green trenchcoat. He carries a haversack over his right shoulder, when not resting it against something or on the floor.
Personality: Eric is a very cautious, introverted individual. He is not fast to make friends, and only accepts the perceptions of society to keep himself unnoticed. Even now, attempting to discover the the source of what he is, he would much rather be left alone with his thoughts and studies. That is not to say, however, that he despises life. Quite the contrary, he has been, is, and will likely always be willing to throw himself in danger's path to protect others. Such desire to defend may leave others questioning his cold demeanor, but most attempts to understand the boy fail. He is a loner, in the purest sense in the word.
Power(s): Immortality - Though Eric can suffer injury as most any other average individual can, many mortal wounds, even those that would guarantee death, will not affect him so. Though he cannot die, however, he suffers each and every injury he sustains, feeling the pain that many people forfeit in death. This ability is passive and always at work. If it is possible to turn it off, Mr. Young does not know how to do so.
Bio (if applicable): Eric doesn't have any memory of his life before he became aware of himself so many millenia ago. It quickly became clear, however, that he was not something ordinary. He watched as those around him aged and grew before his eyes, while he seemed to be stuck as he was. It left bitter thoughts in his mind as he watched those he got close and brought into his life turn to dust before his eyes. Eventually, he stopped looking for contact with others, no longer willing to bear the pain of their passing and the memories. Secluding himself, he watched the times change, the people grow, and he knew that for all his loss, he would be willing to see people continue on their path of enlightenment and evolution. He traveled the world, joining various defense forces where he could, defending nation after nation in skirmish after skirmish, war after war. He couldn't stop the bloodshed humanity brought upon itself, but with each conflict, he did what he could to prevent it. Millenia passed, and weapons became more advanced. Humans no longer had to fact each other at arms reach to kill, and it brought new and bloodier conflict into play. All the while, young Eric, hardly noticing his aging, did what he could, and defended himself and his allies. He had all but resigned himself to this existence when he heard of a school. A place where people with new, strange, and potent abilities could learn how to control themselves. It was a spring of hope he had never expected to see, and he leapt at the opportunity. He would attend this school, and with any luck, he would learn what he was...and why he was alive...

Name: Xanatos
Age: 1,519 (Appears 18)
Gender: Male
Status (teacher/student/hero/government official): Teacher
Species: Hybrid (Vampyre/Neko-jin/Angel/Incubus)*
Nationality: American
Appearance: His physical body is honed from years of training. The muscles are lean and joints limber, which allowed for both blinding speed and incredible strength, back when he was human. He has white hair and pure white eyes, along with the pale skin of the undead. Though he had been in many battles in his life, no scars cover his body, as his abilities allowed him to heal without scarring. He is clothed in a white shirt and pants, with a white cloak tied at his neck. He has two beautifully feathered wings sprouting from his back, with a span of 12 feet, where the cloak rests in between the groove of the wings.
Xanatos has a veritable armory of weapons, and when not fulfilling his role as instructor, or when involved in combat training, many of them can be found attached to him. His primary sword, Xion, is strapped to his side, while the scythe called Thirst and his other sword, Xanster, are placed across his back forming an X shape. On the side opposite of Xion is an expertly woven silk pouch. Within the pouch is a number of daggers and a beautifully hand crafted flute, made of ebony, which Xan plays from time to time. Hidden behind his back, underneath the cloak, two customized Desert Eagles that he refers to as X and K.
* Only Xan's Vampyre form and Vampyre abilities will be described in this profile. If a Form Shift occurs it will explained in character.
Personality: Xanatos gives off an impression of quiet order. He is very serious when it comes to the discussion of serious topics, though on lighter subject he is known to give a smirk or even the rare laugh. He makes it known that he is an authority figure, but he does not keep himself so distant that he is unapproachable. He handles his responsibilities as he should, but that which does not concern him will usually be left alone by him.
Power(s): Vampyre Traits - Vampyre are perfected forms of the blood drinkers of lore, with all the strengths of their kin and none of their weaknesses. Vampyre are stronger than their kin and can control their thirst for blood. With his training, Xanatos's strength is immense, able to lift objects of incredible weight with ease. His speed, already superhuman before the turn, is almost mind-boggling, making him able to outrace gunfire and dodge lightning.
Form Shift - As the paradoxical hybrid he is, Xanatos is capable of shifting his physical form to match the mixed blood that "flows" in his veins.
Psionics - Xanatos is a powerful psychokinetic and telepath, capable of ripping small mountains from their base with only a moment's concentration and reading the minds of all intelligent creatures on the planet simultaneously, for example. He only rarely uses these abilities, both in and out of combat, however, preferring to fight his foes physically, and knowing how delicate a balance is held between humanity and the relatively new supers appearing in the world.
Energy manipulation (Chi, Elemental, Arcane) - Xanatos has extensive training in controlling various forms of energy, from spiritual energy, sometimes referred to as "Chi", to elemental and even arcane power. In battle, he most often forms energy into projectiles of varying power, coupling it with close quarters combat. He is able to fly through Chi manipulation, or with his wings, whichever is his preference.
Bio (if applicable): Xanatos was born human with psychic talent. Rather than live with society, he set out to study his mind. He eventually became part of a group of powerful warriors, training with them, fighting against them, even experiencing love and loss. It was during this time that he was transformed into the hybrid he is now. With eternity open to him, and his warrior kin moved on to other pursuits, he took a passive approach to existence. Then he became aware of the various supers manifesting in the world, and of Hero High. All too aware of the dangers of letting youth with power run unsupervised, the hybrid seeks to offer his services to the school on any and all subjects he can.
