[OOC] Stalwart University

[Hagura]

You're just flattering me. :P

[TaliPaendrag]

@Hagura: No, your posts really aren't bad. :D I've seen a lot worse than yours, and I've also seen a lot better than mine out there.

@General: Nice post! :3

Appearance:

Liz

Liz is an extremely skinny, decrepit-looking girl, standing at 5'3" and weighing in at only 95 lbs. Due to a bad accident involving her own abilities, she's the victim of two rather deforming burn scars on her cheeks. However, she does her best to hide this by often wearing a hoodie, and keeping her bangs long enough to cover her face somewhat. She never wears makeup, showing off her constantly gloomy, tired eyes with prominent dark circles underneath. Her hair is clearly very messy, not taking the time to brush it, ever, but despite that she is rather clean for someone who doesn't care what people think about her appearance.

Name: Liz Charleston

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Power(s): Steam manipulation.

Limits/Weaknesses: Unable to use abilities unless water is present, and is not impervious to the effects of her own powers.

Equipment: A dark grey hoodie, MP3 player, and at least one bottle of water at all times.

Personality: Liz is, to put it simply, an extremely dark and gloomy individual. She's grown up with a normal life, but she simply has a cynical, skeptical outlook on the world that causes her to constantly get herself down whenever she thinks about it. She doesn't enjoy talking to people, and often just sits by herself around the school when not in class. However, despite her initially spooky personality, she actually craves friends, but due to her shyness and inexperience with social interaction, she often finds herself unable to attempt making them. This also leads her to have somewhat of a self-esteem issue, believing it to be her scars that prevent people from approaching her.

History: Growing up in a relatively normal household, Liz's life was not very interesting or eventful for a long time. Her parents loved her like any other parents would their own children, and her grades in school were average at worst. However, during the turn of her teenage years, she discovered something when cooking pasta one night... If she willed it to move... the steam from the pot would do so. She was fascinated, believing this must be some kind of amazing super power, and secretly practiced by herself whenever she could. However, it was not as safe as she thought initially, as steam can get incredibly hot. As she was attempting to transform ordinary water into pure steam, she made a mistake with predicting what would happen, and the water exploded into a jet of boiling-hot steam, burning the girl's cheeks. Knowing her powers couldn't be revealed, she simply told the hospital staff that she was cooking, and knocked over the pot. After that... she slowly began to withdraw from society, locking herself inside. Only recently has she gained the courage to go out and further pursue her education by going to a university... and who knows, maybe she'll find out more about her strange abilities as well?

I-I hope this is OK!

@hefewy: That looks good to me! :D Having her not be immune to her powers is a nice touch too. You don't normally see that. If you would like her to have a roommate, I can help with that. ;)

[Blackwolf]

in another RP i have a guy how manipulates sound, yea he blew out his own eardrums and is deaf XD

[hefewy]

Oh, that would be swell! And thank you!

[TaliPaendrag]

@Blackwolf: Well, that's no fun. At least he can't do it again. :P

@hefewy: No problem. It will be interesting, as Avery isn't very comfortable around new people either. :3

[Blackwolf]

eh he can hear through his power, he can feel sound and can hear that way.

[hefewy]

Alright, so, how am I going to start? I must admit, I'm still somewhat new to forum RP... I'll probably end up asking lots of questions like this.

[Blackwolf]

well, start out with your arrival first, then think of what you think your character might do. Would she go look at the clubs to join one? would she just kind of wander around?

[hefewy]

Hm... I suppose she'd want to get herself familiar with the layout of the school, first. Alright, thanks. I think I have an idea now. :)

[TaliPaendrag]

Don't worry about it. :D Asking questions is a good thing! But yeah, a good first step is to have your character head to their dorm to drop off their stuff. Then see what they would do from there. At the moment, the two main things to do are head to the gymnasium where the club booths are or wander around campus and bump into someone. :3 Considering our characters are roommates, there will be some of my character's stuff in the room already that your character could notice if you have them head there first. Here's a brief summary of what is going on at the moment:

So far, not much has happened apart from Lucek, Krodin, and Hylian's characters heading off on a hike shortly before the club displays were announced to the students, which is where most of them have gone, including mine, Blackwolf, and General Scales' characters, though I believe that General Scales' character has just left the gymnasium. So that his character are currently wandering campus. Hagura's character just ran into my character, so they're interacting one campus.

Hopefully that helps. XD

[General Scales]

Welcome to the party.

[Blackwolf]

I'm character isn't at the clubs any more. He is too busy shoving a foot in his mouth.

[hefewy]

Alright, very first post. I probably could've made it a bit longer... Eh, at least she's heading towards the gym now.

Oh well. Anyways, thanks for the help, Tali! And thanks, Scales. I look forward to doing stuff with you all. ^^

[TaliPaendrag]

@Blackwolf: You're right. My bad. That was before Mizuho's first post I believe. :)

@hefewy: That's a good post! :D And no problem. I'm happy to help.

But now I need to sleep so that I can go through school tomorrow, so goodnight!

[General Scales]

Night.

[Lucek]

Whelp, I hope the "Woodland Trio" can get back soon XD I'd realle like Lu to start making more interactions =3

@Tali: Sorry didn't see your earlier comment, I'm here once a day at most, am busy v_v But anyway I'm going to enroll him into the Art club... I hope he can work with metals there >.>

@Hagura: Writer's block will go away =) mine did... won't mention after how long XD
