Re: The Rift OoC

Post by Fang »

I think I finished one! :D

@Neko: Tell me if he should be changed at all and I would love to fix him up for you. ^_^

Username: Fang
Name: Luther James Parker
Spoiler
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Image
Appearance: Luther is a healthy looking young man, you could say. He stands tall at 6' 2" and has worked hard on building muscle onto his frame made of broad shoulders and a slightly slim waist. He has toned upper body muscles and his "hot bod" is a source of his inflated ego.
His hair is a medium brown color which he keeps on the shorter side so it's not in his face. He usually just runs his hands through it and musses it around until it falls right without looking too messy.
He has handsome facial features in his strong jaw, straight nose and high cheekbones. His eyes are almond-shaped and an ocean blue color.
He has a rather tanned, calloused complexion that's scattered with several scars. He has a few not very noticeable ones on his arms and torso but the only two that anyone seems to realize are the two on his face. Both come from the years of his father's abuse.
The first is at the end of his left eyebrow, reaching slightly onto his forehead, and the other is the right side of his upper lip, which tugs it up into a permanent sort of sneer.
Personality: To the inattentive observer, Luther may be considered kind of a jerk. He has this cold, aloof air about him that he's developed throughout the years as a means to push people away from him. He isn't exactly a fan of growing close to others. Based on this fact, he isn't one to trust many. He's also not exactly the most trustworthy of people either. He has a very self-serving attitude and won't hesitate to backstab an ally if it helps him with his personal goals.
He's also very confident in himself and his abilities. He's got an infallible cocky attitude which manifests in his schmoozing and the way he charms people with faux charisma. Not afraid to speak his mind, his bold manner has often got him into sticky situations. But seeing as he has little respect for authority, it doesn't really bother him. He hates being bossed around and is much more of a lone wolf than a team player.
The final to note about Luther would be his unbridled temper. He's always had a short fuse, but it's grown even shorter after he was "gifted" with his attribute. It's very easy to set him off and once you do, it's better to just let him steam alone, seeing as he tends to be a violent person when he gets angry.
All in all, he's a very hardened person who has this incredibly tough outer shell that is very hard for anyone to break through. Underneath, he's just a tortured soul, who's a bit insecure and is afraid of being betrayed and alone forever.
History: Luther was born into a dysfunctional family. His parents lived in an apartment in the suburbs. However, the only way they stayed afloat was from Luther's dad's drug dealing. While they lived comfortably due to his father's high ranking position, his father also accumulated many enemies seeing as he wasn't the nicest of guys.
In addition, his parents fought all the time. Later in life he'd wonder why they stayed together but at the time, he simply accepted it as a part of his life. Both of his parents did drugs and they fought as though they hated each other. For him, this was the norm.
When he was seven, his mother overdosed.
After that, his father fell apart; Luther couldn't remember a time he saw his father sober. His gang dealings got deeper and more dangerous and Luther bore the brunt of his father's abuse.
Now would be a good time to mention that Luther had a little sister. She was only four when their mother passed away so she didn't remember her much but she realized her father's violent nature no matter how much Luther tried to protect her from it.
One night, Luther came home to find his father sitting on the floor in front of the TV. As Luther came further into the room, he understood that his father's eyes were transfixed on the screen in front of him.
In a rush, Luther comprehended that it was his sister on the screen, bound and gagged. She'd been kidnapped. His father owed people money. It was far too late for him to do anything about it.
Needless to say, he was distraught and this is what turned him into the closed off, untrusting man he is today.
When he met the Creator, he was selfish with his wish. He wished for a chance at revenge. He was presented with the means and the opportunity to exact revenge against the man who was responsible for the death of his sister. Only when the man was brought before him, it was his father. And he knew no matter how much he hated his father, he couldn't kill him.
So he called back to the Creator. He demanded a new chance; a chance to avenge his sister by killing the men who kidnapped her. But the want to change his wish and receive more power got Luther sent to the Rift.
Attribute: Fire
Ability: He wouldn’t consider it an ability so much as he would a curse. Basically, he has become a physical manifestation of Wrath. He’s always been a temperamental person, but now when he's angry, he feels a fire within him. It's something trapped inside his body (in a not-so-comfortable way) and he has tried desperately to release it somehow but the closest he comes is emitting a small amount of light or heat from his body. Most of the time he just suffers through it and he's been working on his temper to try to control it more.
Other: He goes by Luther or Parker. He's not a huge fan of nicknames.

Re: The Rift OoC

Post by NekoKyu »

And with (almost) everyone having voted, I shall close the votes here! With it being unanimous (my vote doesn't count after all x3), PMing is an accepted resolution. Nyn? I don't know if you wanted to keep Jayce the way his is or edit him, but which ever you decide just give me a heads up for when he's ready then I'll drag him over to the thread. Image

@Fang: Image
You like those pictures with striking eyes, don't ya? x3
I don't really think I see anything wrong with him. You love those tortured angry types. x3 I believe I shall accept big brother Luther. :3

@Roseshine: I meant even as in numbers (2, 4, 6, 8, who do we appreciate!), but when I think about it yeah I guess there is an equal gender of characters. xD

Sure though, I can reserve the Space Attribute for you. Would you like to be the first inclusion for the waiting list? If you're really set on making him and no one wants to join within due time (a few days?), I can make an extra character just for you. Image

Spactial Shielding sounds interesting, though I imagine it would transport that attack instead of the attacker? (As in, someone uses a fist, the person jumps a foot through space, someone throws a dart, the dart teleports past and thereby missing your charrie.) As much as I find it interesting though, I fear it might be too powerful. Zozzy actually suggested a similar ability (teleporting as well, but back towards the attacker), but I found it as being too useful. I would ask if maybe there's another minor ability you had in mind for Space? (If I may suggest, perhaps suspending the attack in space briefly to give him enough time to dodge?) If you feel insistent though, then I shall ask the other rpers first for their opinions first before making my final decision.

The concept what wanting to gain more room is understandable to reach towards Space though. That I'll be interested to see how you have pan out.

And don't worry about using an anime picture, whatever floats your boat and sparks your muse is perfect.

@Nyn: Don't worry about it hun, I was actually very excited that someone choose the Sound Attribute as I was hoping someone would. Plus, I've also been very busy which has forced my to put a hold on starting this just so I could sort things out.

It's productive in terms of earning money, but draining in terms of it takes time away from writing. And also very tiring. :derp:
There used to be a lot of nasty rumors for me. Where I live, people like to talk. :/ Eventually though, people got over it and realized I just happened to get along with guys. It's the same with me though, I'm an honorary bro. :D I love trying out different perspectives though, it's a lot of fun for me when I get to be a new character. :3

You're very creative Nyn. :t-glomp: Also very well thought out in your writing. I won't be surprised to hear, however, if your excitement for the rp ends up seeping into your short story and you wind up turning in Rift/Jayce/Aiden/whatever the heck happens in the rp-esque paper. Mostly cause that tends to happen to me. x3

Aww, thanks. xD Some nights I can remember, some nights it's nothing but sleep, and some nights I swear I had a dream but can't recall a single detail. I don't think anything's wrong with your brain though, I know people who don't remember dreaming either.

What's gonna work? Teamwork! :yey: I agree though. Most triangles, I feel like it's easy to tell how it's going to end because the relationships "lean", I guess. But when you get attached to a triangle, there's this sort of new dynamic to the story. I also just really love watching those in roleplays develop, and then you realize things about your character that you never really knew before.

Funny thing is I'm biased too because what usually happens is I see an interview or something and I'll start to think "they're really nice and funny and charming. They should win!"

Thanks, I should have a good chansey with this essay. x3

@Dew: You've been so patient for this too. :t-xD: We're almost there dear! Unless something totally unexpected happens *crosses fingers that it won't* I should be able to start this tomorrow. If I can tonight I will, but I doubt it since there's a lot going on. x(

Aw, I'm sorry! Not for the muse, but in case our mind connection dumped a bunch of stress and sadness on you randomly. If it did, sorry! Image Oh yeah speaking of novels, do you happen to do NaNoWriMo? Image

Three letters?? I'm curious, what language origin is it from? The deed is done then, it shall be included. c: Well at the moment he's nine distinctive personalities that are kind of separated by a wall (could I call it wall, the cycles?). Once they "become one" I want to say though, I can see what you mean, though I'm imagining he'll mostly have a wide range of skills and knowledge as opposed to anything superhuman. Unless of course he'll start creating duplicates of himself. Wait, is that what he does, does he multiply?? Image

Aww, questions. I should really put these in the FAQ. x3 Time is very relative in the Rift. Depending on the person's mentality/sanity/whatever the heck I feel like saying it is (probably emotion health) depends on how time flows for them. As such, some people will not age, while others will age rapidly. It also contributes to the feeling as a whole that time does not flow properly in the Rift, seeing as it's kind of hard to keep track of the days. I mean there's a moon, but even that doesn't appear on a set schedule.

That being said, yes they still need to eat/drink/sleep/etc. The same thing with aging though, a person's mentality influences just how often they'll be vulnerable to these human necessities. The worse off a person is emotionally, the more likely they are to get sick/need sleep/be hungry/etc. The only thing not subject to the mind is warmth. They can still freeze to death, though at the moment the Rift is not that cold. If/when it should become cold, I will make an announcement.

And because I don't not want the characters to be fighting a losing battle, there are resources. There are streams and up-flowing waterfalls for water. And the bizarre creatures (not the Spawn) can be killed and eaten, as well as the lifeless looking plants (they're not dead, just colourless). As for shelter, well you'll just have to find out. ;3

The current climate is very barren, think desert landscape (with a stream full of pebbles, just because). There will be changes, but since I'm hoping most of the characters will be partially grouped or are at least near each other, I'll be announcing any major advancements. The Rift's pretty big though, so yeah there's a bit of everything in there, it's just like a giant unwinding medley of environments though, with things floating around here and there.

Btw thanks for the questions, it helps me to better organize things. Especially since I knew that the description of the vague was really vague. xD;;

I know you meant even as in numbers. x3 Hence why I put the whole 'we'll have 10 but if I add my character, we'll have 11' thing. I wasn't talking just about genders. :P

Awesome! Yea, I'm deadset on making him. I really wanna. *pouts* I think Fang might make a third character for me but you can always take that spot instead if you'd like.

Spatial Shielding I figured was the weakest. I was thinking of the whole 'slowing down of attacks' thing but I thought that was more godmodding than the shielding because the way I was thinking was that the attacker ends up randomly somewhere within a few feet of my character, aka within close proximity still though it would confuse the attacker since they wouldn't expect it, hence how he gets away. It only happens in dire situations though like an ambush. Basically with unexpected attacks. It never happens when he's actually fighting someone but say he is and then someone comes up behind him and he happens to see the attacker but not in time to move, then the Spatial Shielding comes up and ports them away. He doesn't know his limit on the usage of it but the first one tends to leave him with only two thirds of his physical energy so I'd say doing it twice in the span of two hours is his limit (even though there's no concept of time, I'm just saying relatively).

Also I must note that he has -no control- over the Spatial Shielding. It comes to his aid on its own... more like from a will to not get badly hurt in the back of his mind willing it to appear. However, he can't summon the Spatial Shielding on his own no matter how hard he tries. It only works with dire situations like the mentioned above.

However, if you still aren't a fan of it, I have two more suggestions. One is intangibility... while he becomes unattackable for a very brief period because he shimmers himself out of spatial existence, he can't attack or touch anything but the ground he walks on. Basically nothing can touch him but he can't touch a thing either. Basically it's a Warp Bubble. He places a spatial warp around him and distances himself from reality. He's still there in image and mind and such but physically he wouldn't be there, hence why nothing can attack him and he can't touch anything. Of course, this would be a bit more of a workout than the Spatial Shielding.

The second suggestion is something similar to what you preferred. Basically he can increase or decrease the density of the space in an area. This would be called Spatial Tuning. What this does (based on a relativity theory placed forth by scientists where they believe the density of space is what controls the speed of time) is by increasing spatial density, he can slow down or even stop time while by decreasing density, he can also speed up and accelerate time. I would imagine he can only do so much with this so only slowing down or slightly speeding up time would be within his abilities until he grows more bonds with others.

Hehe, I've already got it planned out. I'm glad you say that his past actually fits his attribute because I wouldn't be able to think of any other reasons probably! XD

And yay! I'll use it then. :D

Also, spoiler for length. x3

So basically you're saying that, depending on one's emotional stability is how often they have to eat/drink/sleep and how fast they age? Then Amadahy must barely have to do these things and she's probably stayed the same in age looks because she's become quite stable and used to the Rift. X3 Well, when alone anyway. Depends on how people rub her whether she stays like that. XD Also, considering the whole thing, I'm pretty sure Amadahy would know what's edible and what's not and all due to how long she's been in the Rift. You could probably consider her a veteran... a very lucky one. x3

Re: The Rift OoC

Post by Fang »

And the second one is done! :D Also, in advance, I apologize if the mention of abortion offends or upsets anyone as that is not my intention.

Username: Fang
Name: Kimberley Victoria Shane
Spoiler
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Image
Appearance: Kim has a very feminine and dainty appearance. She's small at 5' tall and very slim. Her body has a gentle curve to it and she appears to be rather athletic. She has a toned stomach and arms that show she works hard to maintain her figure.
She also has very girlish features. She has a soft face with a round nose and high cheekbones. Her eyes are oval-shaped and her lips are full and pale pink. Her eyes are a very pretty clear green-hazel color that are framed with thick, dark lashes.
She has a smooth, clear, sun-kissed complexion that has remain unblemished for most of her life. Her hair is long and straight, being a golden blonde color. There's an undertone of brown in there somewhere, suggesting a dirty blonde of sorts. She usually wears it down and straight or in a braid of some sort.
Personality: Kimmy is a sweetheart on the inside. She was raised to have a big heart and be generous, even if she does it in a roundabout way. She has a knack for sticking herself in other people's business but her intentions are usually good.
Kim is also very charismatic. She's always been very sociable and is able to talk to most anyone with relative ease. Her air of boldness and her easy way of speaking her mind and defending her beliefs is sometimes off-putting for others but she tries to reign it in when she sees this.
She's usually rather calm and collected and it's hard to startle her or take her by surprise, but she's not the best with plans. She tends to act mainly on instinct which makes her very impulsive and rash. She also hates taking orders; she's always had a rebellious spirit in her.
History: Kimmy was born into a normal family. Her mother was a physical therapist and her father was a marine. When Kim was eight years old, her father died serving over seas.
Her mother worked hard to try and support Kim on her own and they managed to stay in the middle class. Kim went to high school, got decent grades, had responsible friends, even had a boyfriend.
But one day, Kim found out she was pregnant. She never thought it would happen to her; other girls, yes, but not her. But it did. And the ridicule was endless. Her boyfriend broke up with her, her friends abandoned her and her mother was openly disappointed.
Kimmy made the bold choice to have an abortion. But that didn't help her situation. The judgement became even harsher and the abuse more severe. She stopped going to school and her fragile mother fell to pieces and turned to alcohol in her onslaught of shame.
When presented with the ability to make a wish, Kim asked to have that entire section of her life removed, rewritten, fixed in some way. The weight of this wish is what caused her to be sent to the Rift.
Attribute: Lunar
Ability: It has nocturnal properties, causing the manipulator to feel more energetic and stronger at night, especially in the presence of the moonlight. It also allows the manipulator to see well in the dark.
Other: She usually goes by either Kim or Kimmy.

She's usually rather calm and collected and it's hard to startle her or take her by surprise, but she's not the best with plans. She tends to act mainly on instinct which makes her very impulsive and rash. She also hates taking orders; she's always had a rebellious spirit in her.
[color=#151B54][b]History:[/b][/color] Kimmy was born into a normal family. Her mother was a physical therapist and her father was a marine. When Kim was eight years old, her father died serving over seas. 
Her mother worked hard to try and support Kim on her own and they managed to stay in the middle class. Kim went to high school, got decent grades, had responsible friends, even had a boyfriend. 
But one day, Kim found out she was pregnant. She never thought it would happen to her; other girls, yes, but not her. But it did. And the ridicule was endless. Her boyfriend broke up with her, her friends abandoned her and her mother was openly disappointed. 
Kimmy made the bold choice to have an abortion. But that didn't help her situation. The judgement became even harsher and the abuse more severe. She stopped going to school and her fragile mother fell to pieces and turned to alcohol in her onslaught of shame. 
When presented with the ability to make a wish, Kim asked to have that entire section of her life removed, rewritten, fixed in some way. The weight of this wish is what caused her to be sent to the Rift.

[color=#151B54][b]Ability:[/b][/color] It has nocturnal properties, causing the manipulator to feel more energetic and stronger at night, especially in the presence of the moonlight. It also allows the manipulator to see well in the dark.
[color=#151B54][b]Other:[/b][/color] She usually goes by either Kim or Kimmy.[/spoiler]

@Fang: Quick favour, can you fix the poll for me? :t-sweat: I can't get rid of it. >.<
As for Kim, I don't mind that her first wish got her popped into the Rift, I'm mostly just curious in her wishes relation to the moon. Other than that she seems fine to me (and does not offend me). Thanks for announcing it though, as it certainly helps avoid unwanted arguments/debates.

@Everyone: I understand everyone will have different opinions on controversial topics, but I would prefer this not to be turned into an argument or debate. Everyone has there reasons and beliefs, and characters will have different views and conflicts as well. These things are fine so long as the members of group don't let this create real issues. Not that I believe such will happen with you all, but I am aware that not everyone feels the same about these topics, and as such would ask that if possible to avoid debate (To clarify: avoid the debate, topics themselves can still be mentioned so long as no problems appear). Thank you!

@Roseshine: If Fang wants to make a third character she can, I wouldn't want to take that away from her. ^_^ Which ever she prefers should be fine, I'm pretty accepting either way.

I will admit that I am rather intrigued by the Warp Bubble. It's a very interesting concept with curious possibilities. However, it is entirely dependent upon your preference. If I were to be clear, my main issue with the Spactial Shielding is that even at its weakest state it still has plenty of use and is powerful enough to transport full bodies already. If it is the ability you are most set on, then I have a minor suggest should it interest you even should it serve merely to help you think up your own way of fine tuning it. Perhaps instead of all attacks, it be specifically towards weapons charged for a fatal attack? So it's sort of like an instinctive reflex (although surprise attack is also reasonable for reflex as well?

And going off your Warp Bubble idea, there was this one fleeting thought I had if you'd like to hear. It's this whole idea of "shimmer". As in, he would throw his image to make it appear like he's somewhere else for a few short seconds. Kind of like looking through a portal? Only one that couldn't be stepped through (yet).

And also, yes that sounds about ready. The more balanced a person is emotionally, the longer they will last in the Rift. And considering Ama's been there for a while and has done pretty well so far, (I believe I mentioned the term "Rift veterans" somewhere in this thread too x3) I would believe she's pretty well adjusted. Now whether she knows it's because of her mental stability that she's like that is the question. X3

I've made my first post! ^_^ Now if you excuse me, I'm tired and have class and work tomorrow. x( I will warn that this will be a busy week for me, as among my normal responsibilities of homework and all that stressing stuff, I will also be preparing for a wedding. So on that note, should anyone oneseses decide to leave pages of roleplay between ya'll and someone one or ones of the group are missing during that time, please provide a small recap for them. It doesn't need to be detailed, just a general idea so that can at least pull a post together before they fall further behind. I will still try to provide recaps as we continue to progress, but it would surely help cut down the waiting (and posting) time for them and would be a greatly appreciated help to me as well.

First off, I must point out... Rosheshine? XD Really? Hehe

Okay, I see where you're getting at with the whole transportation of fully bodies. Hm... space... Well why don't we make it something like the game Portal eh!? The Spatial Shielding would end up only transferring the body part that comes at him though the person/thing might freak out a little. When you get down to it, the only way the shielding would transport the full body is if they were going to tackle my character anyway because it basically opens up a portal or door at the spot though no one can see this portal, hence the freak out.

Also you do realize I didn't say all attacks, I said fatal and surprise attacks? x3
Roseshine12 wrote:It only happens in dire situations though like an ambush. Basically with unexpected attacks. It never happens when he's actually fighting someone but say he is and then someone comes up behind him and he happens to see the attacker but not in time to move, then the Spatial Shielding comes up and ports them away.
Of course, we're tossing out that porting whole bodies thing.

As for your Warp Bubble idea, that would make sense. If he's somewhere else, he could project himself to someone through a portal/door neither can step through but they can talk to each other, when it's strong enough. It would, as you said, make it like an image then. It would be like a holo projector you see in fantasy shows like Star Wars.

If you're planning though on only upping the strength and abilities of their current ability only, then I might just take the Warp Bubble instead. As you said, it seems to have more of a potential for increasing than Spatial Shielding does. I was kind of hoping that they would be able to expand what abilities they have to other things in their attribute/element. :3

And awesome! I have a Rift Veteran! *cheers* She might have ended up noticing it because at the beginning when she was more hungry and thirsty and in need of sleep then compared to now when mental stability and acceptance of things and the fact she barely needs any of that... I think she would have noticed with any ups and downs she had with people. I mean, people who are at least intelligent would notice something like that (at least, I would). Although I do have to take into account her time period but I think she would still notice.

Oh and I think I'll toss up a post myself for Amadahy. :3

@Neko: I can fix her history slightly if it'll make it better. As I was writing it I was kinda thinking like "This doesn't really have anything to do with the moon... Maybe it doesn't have to?" XD So yeah. I'll fix that when I get home.
Also, the poll should be fixed. ^_^

@NekoandRoseshine: I was considering a third character. My only problem is that I feel like it would take me a long time to do a form (again) seeing as it took me awhile with these two. Mainly, it would be time spent on the attribute part of it, considering I'm not quite as creative as I'd like to be. XD
I can try though. :t-shrug:

Ahh Hello everyone! Sorry I'm so late to reply and stuff. I'm currently in Mexico for spring break (hollla!). I might be able to write a post today, but the internet here is spotty to say the least. Im really happy this is finally starting up though!
1
Its like four days late but thank you guys so much for the nice comments on Nicki! She loves you too <3.

@Fang I really love your character, I'm a sucker for the angry kids with disturbing a disturbing history too so... also his ability is really interesting.

Sorry for being really short but, I have internet for maybe thirty more minutes, so if I want to catch up and write something for the actual rp I have to hurry.
Pm me for sitting Don't click in my doni's tab alright bro?

Omjay we started <3
Also, sorry for the late reply ._.". My parents are concerned about my 'well being' and keep trying to get me to interact with society. I thought that hanging out with a bunch of friends over Skype and MMORPG games was enough o.o. I guess I really have no life ^^".

First of all this caught my eye.
Nekokyu wrote:The worse off a person is emotionally, the more likely they are to get sick/need sleep/be hungry/etc.

This pretty much sums Aiden up. Wait, wait, wait, does this mean I can technically turn Aiden into a 75 year old man x3? Just kiddin'. That would be pretty bad for his partner .-. . In this case, wouldn't it mean that the best partner for Aiden would be someone who is emotionally stable. So technically Jayce. Yaoi (haha, called that for Fang and Roseshine). But I won't do that, cause that's no fun >:3.
Nekokyu wrote:Depending on the person's mentality/sanity/whatever the heck I feel like saying it is (probably emotion health) depends on how time flows for them. As such, some people will not age, while others will age rapidly.


Speaking of Jayce, since I think everyone's okay with it, and out of pure laziness, I hope it's okay if I don't change his powers then ^^".

@Dew: Me too o.o. I never watch horror on my own x3. I tried it once, but it didn't really count because it was an anime. It's called Deadman's Wonderland. To be honest, I could not sleep that night and this time I had no one to blame it on. But that's okay, cause I still blamed it on my innocent brothers who had absolutely nothing to do with it >:3. Being a girl with two brother is a privilege in some ways. More special treatment right. At least for me ^^".
. That was like me too, except I wrapped my blanket around me like a cocoon and I slept with a badminton racket in the little ledge between my mattress and the actual frame of the bed. But against ghosts and stuff, it wouldn't help me very much right x3. I still can't sleep in total darkness o.o. I usually leave the hall-light on and keep my door open. #how2wasteenergy. All the first gen's are so cute :3.

Aww thanks <3. I probably couldn't have come up with it though without having our discussion about it x3. I never really realized it until we started talking about it to be honest ^^". Hell here we come >:3.
Dayum o.o. Many books x3. I got a book for a present yesterday from a visiting relative. Have you read Throne of Glass? It reminds me so much of the Hunger Games. I'm going out to Chapters tomorrow, so hopefully I can get Shadow and Bone then :3.

@Roseshine: Mhm, that's true. Then it wouldn't really be a relationship right ^^. I was actually re-watching Sword Art Online the other day. If you haven't read the manga or seen it, you should totally watch it. Spoiler alert but I'll try to make it as general as possible. But yea, those two were pretty perfect and never fought but when they did, it was one hella fight o.o. I think fighting in relationships and having those small bumps is what makes you really accept the other person right ^^.

@Neko: Aww :c. I hope you get a break soon ^^. Oh and still get payed of course :3.
Hmm, that's pretty interesting o.o. I've only really heard of places like that in books and stories from friends. Maybe because I've never really wandered too far from my neighbourhood. It's pretty nice here and Canadians really are nice. At least they are to me. I'm actually rather quite mean. Bullying teasing guy friends are fun. Even when I'm an honorary bro, they can't hit a girl. Except for this one guy who hits me but its okay. He's weak x3. But I'm glad those rumours stopped, because you're a really nice person Neko :3.

Omjay, that'd actually be so cool o.o. Thanks for the idea Neko. I have a good grasp of what I'm going to do for my short story now. Though, my teacher is kinda scary o.o". She warned us a lot of what happens if we plagiarize. Can you plagiarize yourself ._." . I think you can x3. I hope she doesn't try searching this up if I'm going to use it for my short story x3.

o.o. I wish I could still remember my dreams though x3. But glad to know that there's nothing wrong with my brain :3. Also, aww, thank-you <3. Though I still think that everyone's characters are pretty creative compared to mine x3. Just looking at the ideas you guys are coming up with, like warp bubble. That's actually so cool ^^.

Mhm, love triangles are the best in roleplays. Even with the lean sometimes o.o. But it kind of shows the character that's not favoured, is still sometimes fighting hard and trying. That's what makes the roleplay kind of fun :3. In real life, some people just give up when they realize they're not as favoured. But with roleplaying and the creativity, it doesn't happen that often. I also agree that it develops and shapes the character ^^.
I know right ^^. That's what I thought of Cinna and Katniss. Even if Cinna is like twice her age but psh, age is nothing in love right :3.

@Fang: Nope, not offended here. Love your characters though :3. Kim kinda looks like Daenerys from Game of Thrones o.o.

Hopefully getting Bram's post out tonight (I had Irina's pre-written for the most part, but I still have to write up Bram's), but I'm in the final stretch before spring break next week, so it might be a little delayed, depending on how eager I am to do all my projects due Thursday. Dx

Aww, thank you, guys. :t-swoon: It's a relic from a conversation Neko and I had, so that's why it's in her signature, too.

@Neko: ...I swear we actually have a mental connection. o.o Because I've found myself getting really worked up over things the past two days, when I'm usually pretty mellow. It might just be me, though, so sorry on this end, too, for all the bad feelings. :c And yes, November '13 was my first time doing it. :3 I bent the rules a little, though, because my goal was instead to write 50k for my current novel, rather than a brand new idea. Didn't get that many, of course - I think my final count was 19k? I tracked it by myself, not on the website - but it really kick-started my writing for my third draft. I was somewhere around 23k before NaNoWriMo, and now I'm at 74k. So, 23k in four months before NaNoWriMo, and 51k in the four months during and after NaNoWriMo. How about you?

Ah, don't mind telling you, since I use it for an alias sometimes. It's Lee. ^_^ *Cries happy tears inwardly* Yup, wall seems like a suitable explanation. He doesn't multiply, though, no worries. xD I don't want to spoil what path I see him following, because I get really excited over holding secrets and then eventually shedding light upon them :srs:, but I'm thinking that his attribute could possibly make it so that he could permanently survive in the Rift.

And thank you so much for answering all my questions. I'm glad I could help, in some way. c:

@Nyn: Ah, I know Deadman Wonderland! :yey: I've never seen the anime, but I've read the manga (though never finished it, alas). I can see why it would scare you, though, because it was pretty graphic. x.x Idk, it didn't bother me that much, and I did enjoy it, but I also think there's a different between pictures and words on a page versus voice acting and moving images and mood music. Man, I wish I had brothers. I have a younger sister who's six and a half years younger than me, and we literally have nothing in common. Dx
I still sleep with my blankets up over my neck and the back of my head, admittedly. xD;; Idk, somehow blankets make me feel safe??? It's really dumb, but apparently I can slay monsters with my eyes closed when I'm cocooned in four blankets. And I'd keep my door open, but the hall light bothers me. ._. So my kitties can't come sleep with me at night (I have five kitty babies ;u;), since I keep my door closed.

Yes, I've read Throne of Glass! o3o I absolutely adored the first twenty pages or so, but then got progressively more disappointed as the story went on. ._. I read the second book, too, which I think I liked better. I had a real love/hate relationship with the series, though, because I was furious at it as I was reading, but after I moved on to something else and started thinking about it, I ended up liking the series more than when I actually read it??? Idk, I think it drifts into fan fiction-y territory sometimes, and the main character is a little Mary Sue-ish, but I really liked the other characters in the story. I'm planning to read the third book when it comes out, so I'd still suggest reading the series if it interests you. And trust me, it ends up not being nearly as Hunger Games-y as you think. (Because Hunger Games did the concept way better, in my opinion.)
