I think I'm done for the most part. We're all still finalizing memories so I have yet to touch that. But the rest is complete. I'll probably go over it, dust it off of any spelling or grammar mistakes. But, besides that I'm done. I'd love to hear some constructive criticism.
EDIT: The endless possibilities of the Memories lol. Its stumping me right now but I'll get it when I get home from work in the morning. Or if some inspiration hits me before than, I'll try and handle it before.
@DJAtomika Duel buddies? Buddies? I’m surprised! I recall you saying something along the lines that there wasn’t a reason for Eric wanting to friends with Rui. Perhaps he doesn’t know about Rui’s dark side? You know it’s okay for Eric to out right hate Rui :)
@Renny Your character sheet is fabulous, lovely selection of tropes! The character reminds me of Squall from Final Fantasy 8, as already mentioned. The model you chose even looks like him, except for the hair. Overall, there’s nothing that I feel like ‘this doesn’t quite fit’, so you’re all good!
I have drafted Olivia’s memories for the characters that are listed in the character tab, in order. Please read them and let me know if they’re okay, then I will add them to my sheet. @Whoami@JJ Doe@Halcyon@clericbeast@Renny@DJAtomika
Memories When tragedy struck Helston, Olivia was fast to take up the mantle left in the dirty by Samuel. If someone would ask her about it, she would probably not perceive it in that way. It was a gut feeling for Olivia, a subconscious calling, something that made perfect sense to her. For the last fifteen years, she has functioned as a mother or sister figure to many of her friends, the unofficial leader, and the glue that keeps them together. However, Olivia has always honored Samuel’s memory by putting herself in the background in order to allow her friends to grow and shine.
Kade Sicario Usually, Olivia avoids openly talking about Samuel. She would rather be infected with Stigma. This is not the case with Kade. She is one of the few that know the extent of Olivia’s love for Samuel, or more specifically, the love for her idealized imagination of him. However, in another time and universe, Olivia and Kade would probably be worst enemies. Kade had a relationship with Samuel that came dangerously close to that of Olivia’s, which has caused a sense of competitiveness to linger between the girls. Together they from a doubled edged sword, loving and hating each other with a passion. However, Olivia tries to attend all of Kade’s performances whenever and wherever they may be, as she admires her singing.
Rui Liú Olivia is the way she is because it comes naturally. When she sees Rui put on her show of two distinct sides to herself, Olivia becomes a bit distraught. She feels as if ‘Dark Rui’ is a bad influence on the group and everyone around, which is why Olivia does everything in her power to promote ‘Angelic Rui’. Olivia has taken Rui to a petting zoo for Moa Birds and other small and fluffy animals, played video games with her for days on end, and indulged in the fan-girl train at Oakridge. Olivia does find Rui to be extremely cute, so she is a member of an actual committee that creates fan art, takes photos of Rui, and conducts a blog on the Oakridge network about Rui’s everyday life.
Elvira Ravenwood Olivia is officially a person who looks out and cares for Elvira. There is an actual Sanctum contract that states the aforementioned, and both girls have signed it. So, one can imagine that they have spent quite a bit of time together over the years. It has gotten to the point where Olivia is more of a mother figure to Elvira, rather than just a friend, even if Elvira is two months older than Olivia. A lot of their interaction is through their shared interest in weapon dancing. Elvira practices ‘gun dancing’ and Olivia turned her ballet into ‘sword dancing’. They have spent countless of nights and many hours on their practice, and performed at several ceremonies at Oakridge, especially graduations. At this point, Elvira is very much a daughter to Olivia, and nothing will ever change that.
Scout Olivia can be firm and strict, even if she is an overall caring person. It may come to no surprise that Scout knows that side to Olivia quite well. She has probably heard “go clean your room,” “don’t do that,” and “watch your language” more than any other student at Oakridge. Olivia sees Scout as a diamond in the rough and with a bit of tough love, she will be able to form the little rascal into a graceful woman. However, it is a process that comes with quite a bit of frustration. Olivia has on more than one occasion stormed out of Scout’s dormitory at the academy, muttering or shouting, only to come back twenty minutes later and in silence braid Scout’s hair.
Alabaster Zabek Olivia would lie if she denied being attracted to Al. The boy has an air of mystery to him that complements what Samuel was. However, being an utmost extroverted person, Olivia fervently attempts to convert Al into something that he is not. She has on more than one occasion invited him to outings with her only to be rejected by excuses a dozen times. But, it has not stopped Olivia from kicking down the door to his dormitory and forced him out of there. She masks her true intentions by playing the Helston-friend card. Knowing the son of and heir to a prominent modeling agency, who has an in with all the current trends and fashions, can have its benefits. Olivia has no intention of squandering such a friend.
Eric Wormwood As the leader type, Olivia knows when an invaluable resource is available to her. Eric is such a resource. Even though Elvira is utmost clever, her and Olivia’s relationship prohibits Olivia from seeing her in the same light as she sees Eric. He is the right-hand man, the long arm of knowledge that Olivia does not have, and the intellectual hitman that she puts to use as a weapon. She will often glance at him for a sign of approval or disapproval in matters of arguments or decisions concerning others. Out of all the friends, Olivia feels as if her relationship with Eric is strictly platonic, which in itself becomes special, as such is not the case with anyone else. She feels as if she can trust Eric’s judgement, even in times of disagreement, without the fear of emotion manipulating the situation. Her favorite moment with him is when they hit the local coffee shops of the city for chocolate pudding and vanilla milkshakes!
Also, I just want to thank all of you for putting this much effort into your characters! Your work is absolutely fantastic so far, so the pressure to make this roleplay super awesome is really coming down on me, haha!
Edit: Also, here is a TitanPad for the roleplay. It can be used for a variety of things, chatting included. I'll try to be on it in the evenings as much as I can!

The one concerning Scout seems fine to me! I look forward to having Scout play up the "bratty daughter-figure" role, heheh.
