Working on a character. ;D

Is there room for me to join? This looks super cute!

Pepper [+]

[GENERAL INFORMATION]

Name: Pepper Annabelle Thompson

Age: 21

Height: 5'8"

Weight: 126lbs

Sex: Female

Orientation: Pansexual

Time of Occupancy: Three months.

Appearance: Pepper is small and slim, with a slightly gaunt facial structure and pale complexion. Jet-black hair flows down to her shoulders when she's not on call and stays bundled up when she is. A notable feature of hers is her heterochromia iridium; manifesting with the left eye being a light green hue and the right one being a moderate oceanic blue. In terms of dress wear, Pepper isn't all that thrifty and prefers to wear casual clothes even in formal situations mostly due to the instilled, stringent requirements of her job. She believes that the term 'dressing for success' is more about how you act than the clothes you wear.

Personality: Pepper is a quiet, soft-spoken young woman with big determination and an even bigger heart. Suffering from a severe stutter and a light limp didn't phase her from earning her EMT certificate and working toward where she is today. Beneath a borderline mute, shy individual underlies a caring, sweet person who has always made it a habit to place herself before others- because their lives depended on it. However, it is not without difficulty from both parties that will determine whether or not Pepper will make a new friend. Pepper suffers from both the insecurity of her stutter being heard as well as an increased display of social isolationism because of this subconscious fear. She also fears fighting, loud noises, spiders and failure. Regardless, she tries to compensate by being naturally optimistic, albeit socially awkward.

Background: Born to a loving middle-class family in the small town of Longmont, Colorado, Pepper's birth was fairly traumatic. Delivered at 27 weeks early at one-pound thirteen ounces, the infant's prognosis was grim: A grade-three brain bleed, moderate scoliosis, flat feet, a left hip difference of one inch, and a 50/50 risk of developing cerebral palsy. Miraculously, the young girl pulled through and a pair of fearful parents kept the girl in a bubble (not literally that'd be weird) for most of her toddling years. When she reached the age of comprehension, Pepper was taught the values of discipline, respect, and integrity. With an increasing demand for her academic success from her parents, Pepper placed her social life aside the further she advanced through grade school, and when she reached the age of eighteen, she graduated her High School with a 3.5 GPA. Pepper had her career already planned from the age of five, being frequently told stories by her father about his service in the United States Navy as a Hospital Corpsman. Wanting to follow in her father's footsteps, the aspiring Naval servicewoman went to MEPS a few months later- only to hit the quintile of Permanent Disqualifiers (PDQ)'s. Upset but not deterred, Pepper had a backup: being a Paramedic.

Not only a few months later at the start of the new year was Pepper attending community college; the protective grasp of her parents slowly wearing away as she became more independent and self-sufficient. The next two years were grueling and brutal; met with many energy drinks and sleepless nights as she worked diligently toward obtaining her Paramedic certification. At 21 with a year of experience under her belt as a Paramedic, her dream was reached. However, now the newly certified and moderately experienced Paramedic wanted to get away from her parents entirely; to explore the world free of constraints. Reluctantly, they agreed to send her to Redwood, CA where she currently resides within an apartment complex; employed by the Redwood City Fire Department.

Psychological Profile

Information disclosed from the office of Dr. Jacob Kaufmann, Redwood Mental Health Center.

"Miss Thompson is an adventurous, committed, intelligent and wonderful client who can light up a room with a smile. The girl's parents raised her right, but their authoritative, fear-based method leaves me in a bit of disagreement with her recounting. She has significant trouble with her stutter, and often feels insecure about making friends because of how [they] might react. I have prescribed her Sertraline for her anxiety, and I have noticed a troubling start of warning signs commonly associated with Uncomplicated Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder. She often suffers from night-terrors, depressive bouts, mood swings and catatonic lapses. As I have been told by her, these are likely to occur after a long day of work, yet that is no reason to dismiss the severity of this developing condition. Our next visit is scheduled within two months from now, and the next appointment will determine if a more aggressive regimen of treatments is needed if her condition worsens. I have recommended her to try and find some company when she is not on the job; making friends would indeed be beneficial for her mental health."

Hobbies and Passtimes

Pepper enjoys music, reading, writing, and studying up on medical procedures and terminology. Very rarely, she also might be seen painting or relaxing with a glass of wine (though the latter is not recommended unless you want an intoxicated, stuttering mess.) She also enjoys long park walks can occasionally be seen stargazing in the park if the opportunity presents itself.

Social relations

(This section will be dynamically updated following character interactions in the Roleplay. Mention to be added!)

@rougeLily I already started a CS on a female character, but if it's okay by you, I would be more than willing to double up and make a male character as well.

I'll be making a male sometime this week! :)

@rougeLily I was planning on making a female character but I can put her on hold for awhile to balance the genders. Or I could just make her an npc.

@rougeLily Hello I'm done with my CS. Will follow up on the next requirement :)

Wow, I've been offline for a few days and this took off fast, lol. Anyway, I'll see about getting a CS up when school isn't pounding me into the dirt.

I am going to make a male character either today or tomorrow!

Here she is! Please let me know if I should adjust or change anything. I am going to PM you the rest of what you asked for in just a few!

Also still willing to make a male character as well.

Appearance
Average height, average build, only slightly underweight, average everything else. Though Rosie wouldn't believe it if anyone bothered to tell her, she is an attractive young woman. Her long, brown tresses are always lighter than usual due to the amount of time she spends outside walking to and from school. Often completely down or tied back in a bun, Rosie tends to avoid washing her thick hair unless she absolutely has to (or if some kind of paint gets in it. Even then...eh?) Her skin is nearly a ghostly pale, but she always gets a few freckles on her face and shoulders during the hot Louisiana summers. Rosie's brown eyes always look a little dreamy under her curly lashes, but that's mainly due to a lack of sleep every night which certainly shows in the dark circles under her eyes.

Some might say that Rosie has mastered the style of looking both casual and cute. Her main goal at all times to feel comfy and unburdened, which involves plenty of t-shirts, baggy pants, and overalls. Due to the fact that she is rather skinny, most clothes fit her very loosely, so most of the things she wears either need to have elastic or require a belt. She'll often be sporting a pair of boots or nice leather sandals, and wears a minimal amount of jewelry.

Personality
Creative || Intelligent || Stubborn || Compassionate || Stubborn || Independent || Easy-Going

Moving away from home is arguably the best thing to ever happen to Rosie. Once an introverted, withdrawn teenager in her hometown of Effing Nowhere, Louisiana, she certainly did blossom after her arrival in Silvervale. It was the people that caused Rosie to hide away inside a shell; they're good-natured but small-minded behavior never made her feel safe. It was only when she got away from the small town life that she began to find herself, and what she discovered was this: Rosie is an incredibly independent, opinionated, and strong woman. Though her talent in the arts had a helping hand, her stubbornness, drive, and ambition were the biggest factors in securing a spot at Silvervale University. She loves to learn new things and see new perspectives and thus, Rosie thrives in academic environments.

Though seemingly quiet and moody at first, she does love to talk and meet new people. Rosie simply must feel out a person before she can feel comfortable enough to show them the witty, funny, and wildly caring person that she is. At times she can be brutally honest, always with love, but has never been one to hold back what she thinks or feels. It's a rarity that she's ever in an actual bad mood, but if she is, a usually chatty girl becomes dark and broody until the mood passes over. Rosie is hardly critical of others, but very much so of herself. Simple mistakes can cost her quite a bit of time blaming herself and questioning all her life choices. It's one of those things she's working on fixing. But still, Rosie has a huge heart and cares very deeply about the people in her life. She'll do what it takes to make others feel comfortable and safe, making her a good person to befriend if genuine love is what you're asking for.

Habits
Rosie is an insomniac, and spends the majority of her time awake drawing or painting for herself or for school-related reasons. Her projects are always done on time because she has too much time on her hands, though she wishes this weren't the case. Associated with her insomnia is a somewhat bad smoking habit. This shouldn't be much of a surprise to anyone who has met her family as it is mainly made up of chain smokers. Although she doesn't do it to the extreme of two or three packs a day, Rosie does habitually have a cigarette outside every couple of hours.

Background
Rosie was born in a little town called Reuben, Mississippi to parents who already had four other children. Her father was a construction worker who often traveled out of town for work, and her mother was a nurse who slept most of the day and worked all night. From a young age, Rosie learned to be self-reliant and self-sufficient due to the absence of parental guidance. She and her siblings were left to not only take care of themselves, but find ways of entertainment to pass the time. Her two older brothers often played ball and ran around town with the other kids while her eldest sibling, her beautiful sister, busied herself with gossip and attention from boys. Rosie on the other hand was completely uninterested in playing with the other kids, and definitely wasn't all the intrigued by attention from boys. Reuben as a whole was completely boring, and it didn't help that her lacking presence in a playful setting made her the target of bullying by kids in town. Her daily routine usually consisted of biking over to her Grandma Lou's house to take advantage of the typical "grandma's house" storage consisting of crayons, paint, and plenty of coloring books. Grandma Lou, a former artist herself, was thrilled by her granddaughter's budding interest in art. Needless to say, it was only a matter of time before Rosie became the favorite grandchild. It was also only a matter of time before Grandma Lou became the only person Rosie trusted.

Her real passion began after receiving her first sketchbook as a present on her 10th birthday, from Grandma Lou of course. Much to her parents chagrin, Rosie spent most of her time outside of school holed up in her room drawing, drawing, drawing. It was the only way to escape from the world she detested so much. Though her grades in school were nearly perfect, her favor with school mates was failing hard. Rosie hardly had any friends save for very few likeminded people. Tensions often ran high with her mother and father, still hardly ever around to bother to get to know her. Unlike her siblings who either got married and had kids or went right into full time jobs, Rosie wanted to expand her knowledge and perfect her skill. She wanted to be an artist, an illustrator, and it was the complete opposite of what her parents wanted. Her grandmother was the only person she confided in because her parents had no interest in learning that their youngest had no intentions of living the typical, Reuben way of life. Towards the end of her high school career, she applied to several out of state art schools, paying for a lot of it with her own expenses she had saved up from working after school.

One blessed day she received a letter from Silvervale University informing her of her acceptance. Her parents were unhappy with the news and refused to pay for it. No one in her family had ever moved out of Reuben, but thankfully for Rosie, her Grandma Lou was there to save the day. Though old and retired, she offered to help Rosie pay for her to attend Silvervale with her savings. Since moving to Silvervale, the only person from home Rosie has kept in contact with is her grandmother, though she occasionally goes home for the holidays. She is now in her last year of school, and moved into Redwood not too long before the start of the fall semester.

Extra:
Rosie has a lovely little, er, not so little orange tabby named Ziggy. He loves eating, sleeping, meowing for attention and treats, and sleeping some more.
