Cipher Academy Welcomes All!!

Cipher Academy Welcomes All!!

Cipher Academy is a secret school/organization entrusted by the government with the task to teach, train and guide teens with supernatural abilities. To the general public, this school is nothing more than a boarding school, but inside they're helping the next generation of shadow helpers to grow strong! Cipher Academy: - Beginner students are the ones who've been in the school for up to 3 years. They are heavily monitored and require a mandatory student buddy (an advanced student who'll help them) - Intermediate students have been in the school from 4 to 6 years. They have more freedom to use their abilities and no longer need a student buddy - Advanced students have been in the school from 7 to 9 years. They start training to work in the outside world with other shadow helpers (superhumans who secretly work to help and save others). They are responsible for a beginner student as means to help them become more responsible (You can visit my Cipher Academy Collection for more info) Rules of the Challenge: - Create a new OC to enter Cipher Academy - Your OC needs a supernatural ability, such as super strength, mind reading, talk to animals, etc. - Check the post "Why Your OC Might Need Adjustments" in my "Cipher Info" collection before submiting your OC 🙇‍♀️ There I explain the 3 main points a Cipher OC needs to check to be accepted. As a resume: human, power, drawbacks. - Before creating your OC pls check to see if no one has a similar power yet. If there's a lot of entries by the time you join (like more than 20) I can accept similar powers but pls try to be unique 💕 - Your OC's power needs a drawback, like "power can only work if they say a magic word", "power can only work if both hands are free" or "power can only work if they're always hot", etc. - Your OC can be female, male or non-binary. The uniform is the same for everyone (in case you can't see it clearly, those are pants) and you can mix and match longer and shorter options; also you can give them different shoes, but they need to be as comfy and resistant as these bc they'll be using them to train - Accessories like gloves, earings, bags, etc. are allowed and your OC can wear them with the uniform, so long as it's nothing that changes the appearence of the actual clothes - There's no deadline but if a bunch of people seem interested in this I'll create new challenges for you to draw you Cipher OC in!! ✨😎🌈🎶🍓🌸 (Correction: THANK YOU FOR ALL THE LUV!! There's more Cipher challenges on the way!!) - Check my "Cipher Info" collection for any in-world doubts you might have! I compiled a bunch of FAQ there for everyone Have fun, everyone!! 🎶🌼😎🎨🍓✨🤗🌸🍀💐🌸🍀 I've been really into superhero books recently so I hope someone'll find this as fun as I do skdbsmdm IMPORTANT: I'll need to check your OC before you can post stuff for other Cipher challenges. That's because your OC might not fit the lore in some aspect so I need to review everyone's entries first, ok? 🍀🙇‍♀️🍓

Cipher Academy OC: Adelaide Roots(She/her)
Adelaide (Addie) Roots; An intermediate student at cipher academy with long voluminous locks of personality (literally) (yeah no her last name is toootally a coincidence I swear lolol)
She is very aloof and sarcastic, but also very hardworking and extremely loyal to those close to her.

Addie’s ability is that her hair has a mind of its own. It usually manifests itself into two large hand shapes. It has the ability to grab ahold of things, grow out to certain lengths for better reach, and is strong enough to lift anything weighing as much as the average person. Addie uses her hair as an extension of her body. She could use it for combat, but would prefer to use it for search/rescue missions or restraining people if needed.

The biggest drawback to Addie’s ability is that she needs to keep her hair healthy, happy, and calm at all costs. Her hair has a very erratic personality, and there are lots of different things that will make it upset, weaken it, or even make it act out against her (like “try to strangle her” kind of act out)
Some things that her hair doesn’t like are;

- intense heat
- cold, dry weather
- strong chemicals (ie. bleach)
- fragranced hair products
- being tangled (Addie always has to carry a comb or hairbrush with her because of this reason)
- being cut/trimmed (it will freak out at the mention of scissors)

Addie has spent most of her childhood and teenage years at the academy training to keep her hair under control, and has made a lot of progress in building a good relationship with it. But she’s still nowhere near ready to be an advanced student just because it’s still unpredictable in nature and could be a danger to herself, and others.

There is a bit more lore I wanna write behind Addie’s relationship with her hair, and why she was enrolled into cipher academy, but I feel like this is already pretty long and I just wanted to get the basic stuff out so yeah lolol (maybe I’ll put it in the comments or something)

GDHSHSG I FINALLY FINISHED THIS I kinda feel like I need to beef up her design a little bit and do some more doodles but THIS WAS SO FUN OMG!! I can’t wait for more cipher academy challenges from @cherrytwelve bc this concept!! Is so creative!! 💜💜✨🕺🏻

Her ability is so fun and interesting to imagine, it’s like owning a strange pet with you 24/7! I wonder if she gives her hair something to play with like a giant hairpin while she’s working 😂 that would be so cool
PLS ADELAIDE IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND HAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL, FANCY NAME I- 🥺✨💕🌺💐🌈🍀🌼 (ALSO THE PUN!! I love names with puns so much!! Thank you for this!! 😂💕🍓🌸) First of all, this design is amazing! I love how slender she looks bc it lets the hair take up all the remaining space and it makes it feel even more powerful like that!! 😎✨🌻 Also love the power itself, bc sentient hair?? Who would've thought of that! It's so fun and unique 👏👏👏 Specially with the fact that the hair has a personality of its own (that personality being: difficult 😂) You said the hair gets agitated by the mention of scissors so I gotta ask: can it hear? 👀👀 I'm really freaking curious! Btw the fact that her ability itself is also the drawback is a genius move! 💐🍀🌈🌺💖 It must be really freaking hard controlling such an impredictable power 😩 AND I'M SO HAPPY YOU LIKED MY IDEA AND HAD FUN CREATING AAAHHH!! 🥺🌼💕🍓🌸💐 I can't wait to see more of Addie!! WELCOME TO CIPHER ACADEMY!! 🎉🎉🎉
Ooo she's so cool, I love her and her power! The idea that she has to build a relationship with her hair is such an interesting concept! I'd love to see more of her and her backstory^^
