Oh, you guys have no idea. >:3

But, uh... I was getting lazy and remembered I had made Hayden partially in a PiratePad for critique from Fallout and Ex. Piratepad has been down for a whole month now, though. T_T So, it's all... all gone... for now. And I actually have to write stuff. QQ

Vladimir Kalkovich

Name: Vladimir Kalkovich
Appearance:
Age: 16
Grade: 11/ Junior

Social Class: Gifted

Social Class Explanation: Two things make Vladimir pop out of the page. First, he is insanely good with numbers. He has been known as the human calculator in all his previous schools. In the Russian National Mathematics and Science exam he received top marks, not missing a single problem. Math come naturally to him and rarely studies for it. Second, Vladimir is an extremely talented guitarist and singer specializing in Grunge/Alternative Rock. He spends his free time writing and playing music. His inspirations are Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, and Green Day.

Personality: On the outside, Vladimir is chipper and fun-loving, and he is always quick with a joke. The majority of the time Vladimir is sarcastic. He loves to tease people, which may come off as mean, but in reality he is a sweet person. This sarcasm and teasing can get him into trouble. Vladimir forgets to filter his words in serious situations, and just plainly the majority of the time. Vladimir is very carefree. He found that attempting to be happy and have no worries is the best way to get through the rough patches in life. He always has a smile on his face and looks happy. He tends to brighten people's day

On the inside, Vladimir is full of rage and depression. His mind is littered with dark thoughts which he only has music to express himself. Very few people know this side to him. He gets very unnerved by the slightest bumps in the night making him a light sleeper. Due to his fathers sadist acts, Vladimir is afraid of sexual encounters. He has a tendency to get close to a person and run away from them.

Overall, his depression has been getting worse and wants to try new things and have new experiences to get his mind off things.

History: Born in Moscow, Vladimir lived with his two parents who were famous Russian physicists. However, Vladimir's mother, Lucya, died in a Lab accident when he was very young. His father didn't take the news well. Almost every night, he got drunk and wondered around Moscow at night, until he committed several felonies. One was beating Vladimir on multiple occasions. Vladimir felt hopeless like he couldn’t do anything. He still carries the scars that his father gave him through beatings and unspeakable sadism, a lot of it involving humiliation. These thoughts still invade his nightmares. Vladimir finally told his teacher what was happening at home and his father was arrested and then sentenced to death.

A young party-loving woman adopted Vladimir. At first he was excited, but he ended up spending most of his time in his room. his new guardian could barely afford the tuition fee to send him to his school, even with academic scholarship, and she spent most nights on the town. When Vladimir asked for something to do, his guardian gave him a game console and television, not caring what he would do with them. Vladimir had started playing video games, most of them involving being a hero saving the one in distress. Due to this, Vladimir developed a bit of a hero syndrome. This has developed from the countless hero type video games he played and also nobody saving him from his abusive father. Therefore he vowed to help and save anyone he could to save them from their pain.

After seeing his scores on multiple national exams, Caelbury Academy in the USA accepted him on a full ride scholarship as they saw great potential in him.

Extracurricular Activities: Attempting to start a band, Interested in Airsoft and International clubs
Miscellaneous:
-Strong Russian Accent
-Wants to try new things to get over his depression
-Try's to workout everyday

Acacia Hawthorne:
"Acacia....She is very beautiful. She brightens everyone's day with her presence for some reason. Although, she seems to think everything needs to be perfect. The World is far from perfect, well cause people are shit. She is a good person with a good heart. Maybe she'll listen to me if I need to talk about 'it.'"

Vladimir likes the idea of Acacia being a kind and caring person. He likes the fact there are some decent Elite people at the school who don't look down on him for being an immigrant and just being smart. Although he enjoys that side of her, he detests the fact she believes perfection is a requirement. He knew that nobody was truly perfect and she needed to understand that as well. He wasn't sure why she was like that, but wants to figure out why.

Brenden Aldrin:
"Russian teachers are nothing like him. They're always hard, and never take the time to talk with any students. I like this change."

Vladimir approves of the idea of Mr. Aldrin's ideals. No bullying, open door policy, and funny to boot. Vladimir wishes more principals in Russia were like him. He feels like his personality is a good fit with Mr. Aldrin's as his sense of humor usually leads to Vladimir laughing and joking along. He has a deep seeded respect for him and always will for the time being.

Alli Kendrick:
"I heard she loved to party back in the good old days. She's really nice and bubbly and has that stereotypical cheerleader feeling around her. I don't hate her, but I don't love her. I am just indifferent.

Flynn Zimmerman:
"I enjoy Philosophy. He seems like a good person. Wish I could talk to him a bit more.

Hayden Hawthorne:
"Hawthorne...If he's anything like his sister he is just fine in my book."

Vladimir looks up to Mr. Hawthorne as Physics is his favorite subject.

Saul Kirschenzweig
"Mr. Badass. Doesn't take any shit from anyone. He reminds me of the teachers back in Moscow. I bet there is more to him than meets the eye. He has a soft spot somewhere all big and tough guys do.

Lili Lafontaine
"It's not that I don't like her, she seems like a good person, but I don't like art. You have a voice to express yourself. SING DAMMIT"

Vladimir doesn't understand art whatsoever. He thinks that a lot of it is just odd shapes put together on a canvas. He doesn't understand how drawing expresses yourself when you have a voice. Besides from that aspect, she seems ok to him.

Jacob Rockwell:
"What a cool guy. Who knew Americans could be nice and you could have a good time with them? Airsoft is pretty badass with this guy."

Vladimir view Jacob as a good friend. He shares a lot of passion interests Vladimir has, which is a first in a long time. He likes to tease him every once in awhile, but knows his limit with him like all his friends. He always is looking forward to the next airsoft fight with him or Physics lab.

Roman Zelenka
"Bastard seems colder than Moscow in December, but in reality he's just calm and collected. If you have a passion for music, then you're good in my book."

Vladimir Kalkovich
"It's me. One guy. Nothing much to say about me right? Right...? No there's a lot wrong. It keeps coming back. Just move on, laugh, be happy....That's all you have to do. You have one fucking job Vlad, do it. I can't... Fine. Write a song...Move on"

Alice Profit
"World class bitch. I swear nobody in the World can be that bitchy. I can't help feel a little bad for her. She must of had a worse childhood than me....Nevertheless, yeah...ummm. I wish she was more approachable, I would like to understand her. Still, I can't get over that bitchy attitude, so she can fuck off.

Rayne McCutcheon
"Indecisive, rebellious, and a bitch. Sounds like every girl back in Moscow. No complaints with her. She is never around much anyway. Maybe one day I'll actually talk to her. If I ever need a cigarette I know who to ask. America and it's tobacco and alcohol laws....

James McNamara
"Talented with music...BADASS. Sure his taste in music is different from mine, but rock is rock. I love it all. Maybe he'll be interested in a band or something. A lead guitarist is needed anyway...But then we need a drummer as well...Maybe he'll know one besides himself. I'll have to talk to him

Seth Kabhsenuf
"I don't think I've ever had a class with him. He seems like someone that I'd remember with that morbidish sense of humor."

Nathan Dixon
"Ask him to do shit and he will do it? What's wrong with this kid? Doesn't he know he'll be exploited...I pity him. Maybe he needs a friend? Sure I may be a dick but I can be nice sometimes. He's too compliant, though. Jesus that should change."

Julie Scott:
"12 different languages and doesn't know Russian? What the hell? Russian is one of the greatest...Oh well. Julie, pretty, and loves my jokes. One of the coolest people at this school. She is an awkward person sometimes. Then again we all can't be social.

Max Wallenberg
"Colder than Russia in December of 1812. I don't really care for him, but he could at least be a bit nicer and social. Solitude doesn't help anyones sanity"

Cole Grimoire
"Cocky little fuck. Never seen the guy talk to anyone. Really don't like him. Cockiness...Just pisses me off."

Damien Lilly
"Stereotypical, textbook definition of attractive cool teacher. I don't really care for him, and doubt I'll ever see him. Chemistry sucks!"

August Marco
"Ehhhhhh he gets in trouble for some pretty funny things. I should try to hang out with him sometime. He seems like he knows how to have a good time. I should cut loose a little with him to get my mind off things maybe?"

Adira Huston
"I hope I never meet her. I really don't want to get in major trouble like some people have"

Catherine "Wren" Sinclair
"Catherine...I Sat next to here last year in my first semester math class. She needed a lot of help, so of course I had to help. She and I became pretty good friends after that. I hope she still wants to be my friend this year. I enjoyed her company.

Celia Honey
"She seems really nice and comes off as a good person. Sounds like she has a big heart. I guess I could talk to her if I need anything regarding "it." Let's just try to avoid that and move on."

Eliza Anne Herring
"Acacia's friend! She usually is with her, but I've actually never had a full conversation with her. I can't really form an opinion, but I respect her, since Acacia she is friends with her. I'll have to talk with her to formulate a full opinion."

Alice Profit

Name: Alice Profit
Appearance:
Age: 15
Grade: Sophomore
Social Class: Wealthy

Social Class Explanation: The Profit family. One of the richest families in the United States. As a Profit, you're one of two things: A lawyer or a banker. With Alice's father he is a partner at Profit and Profit, one of the most prestigious law firms in the nation. Alice's father works along side her grandfather where they both bring in the big bucks. From the day she was born, Alice had a trust in his name net worth at quarter of a million dollars. She had immediate access to the fund at 14 years old. However, as a Profit, Alice knew better to spend that money stupidly. She took economics classes at Caelbury in order to make some investments. These investments made him make uncanny amounts of money for a teenager. Academically, Alice is good with economic theory and economics itself besides that she has no real talent. In fact she's just bad at basically everything else.

Personality: Alice feels like nobody can tell her what to do and loves it when they try. It gives her an excuse to yell and curse. If you cross Alice, she'll make sure your entire family regrets it. She once ruined a family’s reputation by digging into their history and found out the majority of them were inbred; so she sent this information to the press. Due to all this Alice has the reputation of being a bitch. Although, Alice doesn’t care what others think she just wants to like herself, which she has a hard time doing. Therefore, she puts other people down to make her feel better than everyone.

Alice loves to flaunt her wealth as well. She makes sure she is always wearing expensive clothing even if it's out of dress code, which is almost all the time, and boasts about the price of those items as if they were nothing. Of course the majority of Caelbury's student body did this, but what really sets Alice apart is the fact she has an extreme substance abuse problem. High alcohol use, binge-drinking, nicotine, valium, Vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy, and cocaine are almost always used in a day of Alice Profit. To make matters worse, Alice is part of a huge crime scene (refer to history for details).

Although Alice is a horrible person, she does the majority of these things for attention. She wants to feel cared for and worried about. Her Brother use to be the only one who cared about her, but now that he's busy and worried for his life (see history) she has nobody. In reality/when she was with her brother, Alice is a soft, caring, lovable, and funny person. She doesn't know how to be noticed with out being a horrible person. She wants to feel a connection with a human other than her brother for once in her life. This thought rarely comes up anymore, but sometimes when she's drunk or high her shell will come apart.

History: Born to a rich father and a mother who was always doing things for herself, Alice was watched and raised by her older brother Robert, 10 at the time of Alice's birth. She never had a real mother or father. She was always shot down when she ever tried to do anything with her parents. Alice became really close to her brother, but when she was 12, Robert suddenly disappeared.

Although Alice had friends in Middle School, they never wanted to hang out outside of school. Alice couldn’t think why and thought it was due to how she looked so she stopped eating. After developing her eating disorder, she got very sick and had to spend a few months in the hospital rehabilitating. When she was released from the hospital she came to the conclusion for the reason why she developed her disorder. She blamed the idea of caring what people thought about her. Alice vowed to stop caring about her reputation. Alice however did want to start a new, so after she finished 8th grade her parents sent her to Caelbury Academy.

As a freshman, Alice starting experimenting with drugs and alcohol. Her brother came for a surprise visit and gave her some marijuana and Alice tried it. After her first time she fell in love with it. She felt on top of the World. Alice just had to have more, due to feeling good about herself for the first time in her life. Alice, of course, bought more from a local gang. Alice got real close with the leader of the gang. After getting close with the leader, Alice was integrated into his drug operation. She was suppose to sell the product at Caelbury. After her first year, Alice sold a lot of product around school. Although, after taking economic classes Alice realized they could, as a gang, could make more money if they expanded the market of drugs to other things besides marijuana

Alice called her brother and learned a shocking secret. Her brother got involved in some serious trouble with the Mexican drug cartel and had to work off his debt. He would be able to start supplying to her if his boss allowed it. Robert, took a trip out to Caelbury with a cartel member, José. Alice showed him the whole operation she and the local gang leader set up over the last year. Alice also showed them the books in which they kept the records of their profits. José liked the idea of expanding the market to Calebury. He made a phone call and soon shipments of high grade drugs reached the local gang. Alice started to make tons of money and started to help her brother work off his debt.

The gang, at the start of this year, finally just finished getting in all their shipments of drugs at the start of the year. Alice was given a bunch of goods and was told to sell it on campus while the rest of the gang was to sell their goods in the town. This means that Alice usually lives a separate life from the gang. The only time she sees them is when she gives in her share of profit she made over that month.

Acacia Hawthorne:
"Ms. Queen Bee...Thinks she needs to be perfect. It's always Acacia this and Acacia that with every God Forsaken piece of shit at this school! Why like her?! She has nothing redeeming about herself. God, I want to ruin her...So many possibilities to do so as well. She doesn't deserve my wrath though. She hasn't done anything to piss me off. But if she does, the bitch is going down.

Brenden Aldrin:
"Protector...Pshhhh yeah whatever. If people can't take shit then they live in the wrong World. Might as well end it...Oh well, I don't really care for him. I've had barely any contact.

Alli Kendrick:
"Queen Bee in her golden days. Why the fuck would you wanna come back to your high school? From what I've heard, she use to be a party girl...Seems like a good target if I get in her good graces."

Flynn Zimmerman:
"May seem passive aggressive, but he's quiet. A thinker...Philosophy does that shit I guess. He Seems more down to Earth than the rest of the shit heads here."

Hayden Hawthorne:
"Mr. Vice Principal...And to boot brother of Queen Bee Acacia. I should stay away from him and keep his eyes off me. Be good little Alice in front of him.

Saul Kirschenzweig
"Mr. Badass. Seems like Arnold Schwarzenegger type of a person. I don't want any unnecessary trouble from him."

Lili Lafontaine
"Artsy and French. LSD may give you some ideas for whatever you call "art." Target number 2."

Jacob Rockwell:
"Really? Why is he here? He is classic CREEP. He doesn't belong here at all...Nevertheless, being an outcast could be useful to me. Sell him some feel good stuff, and he'll be happier than a puppy seeing snow for the first time."

Roman Zelenka
"Music man number one. Music=Drugs Drugs=Music. It's like a goddamn theorem or some shit. Europeans also have a lot more fun than Americans. He'll try shit. He'll come to me at some point. They all will.

Vladimir Kalkovich
Music man number two...Well like I've said before Music=Drugs Drugs=Music. He'll come to me when he needs an idea for a song or something."

Alice Profit
"...I am all alone in this big World. I hate it. I hate me sometimes. I just want to be seen. To be noticed. To have something special. I don't know, and I don't care...I just need to take a hit or pop or something. Then I'll be fine."

Rayne McCutcheon
"REBELLIOUS! Just what I'm looking for. You can have a lot of fun, be even more rebellious, spite your family, or whatever you want if you buy from me. I'll throw in the first time with whatever drug you want free of charge. You'll come back after that."

James McNamara
"A lot of people play music. I swear this is too damn easy. Rock 'n Roll=Sex, drugs, and coco puffs. I'll get ahold of you somehow. If you don't whatever. Grease balls aren't that cool."

Seth Kabhsenuf
"Was this guy even here last year? I have no idea. The teachers are all a blur to me the majority of the time anyway. Wasn't he the guy who got two students to beat the crap out of each other? That can't be right..."

Nathan Dixon
"Robot boy. Programmer and programmed to always smile. What a little bitch. Christ, man up. Grow a pair."

Julie Scott:
"Ms. International. I swear she wants to be from everywhere. I bet she thinks she's foreign or something like that. Friends with Music man 2, I'm sure he could get her interested in my product...Get to him first.

Max Wallenberg
"Stereotypical pretty Swedish boy. Gonna place money on it now that he's gay"

Cole Grimoire
"OH MY GOD! Cocky, arrogant, and a lover boy. He obviously has a crush on Queen Bee and thinks he can get with her. Dream on kid. Jacob has a better chance then you, at least he has some talent. Ice skating as a male gets you nowhere...

Damien Lilly
"Nice car...Flaunting wealth...He may be interested in he rich man's drug outside of school of course."

August Marco
"Mr. Prankster. I like him. I really can't think anything I don't like about him. I bet he can have a good time. Perfect person to sell to."

Adira Huston
"Stay away!! Cannot get on her bad side."

Catherine "Wren" Sinclair
"Probably will end up Queen Bee when Acacia leaves. Everyone in our grade loves her. I don't. I want to ruin her. I'll find something...

Celia Honey
"She's too kind. I don't like it. There is something she's hiding. If i cared enough to find out i bet i could. Then again it's probably nothing too bad."

Eliza Anne Herring
"This bitch. I can't stand her. Obsessed with Acacia...I can't stand those two. They're perfect for each other. They should be together. That would be scandalous....Not a bad way to start a rumor, but that wouldn't ruin them. I would fuck her over in a heart beat. This will take planning if I were to do something. Still she seems like a pretty big threat. I should play it cool for now. Although, if it escalates to something crazy, I'm going to be the last one standing.

OH that's why it's not loading! You could still ask them for critique though!

[Sixsmith]

MULTI_MEDIA_MAN said
TFW. I had to do that with one character, but in the end, he improved because of it a bit.

Yeah, rewriting helps further establish what you want that character to be. I'm doing that now for Flynn, but Hayden is harder because he was very structured around the situation brought upon the RP I had initially created him for. I actually do that with a lot of characters, making them very hard to implement in other RPs without totally scrapping their concept and making a new person using their appearance and maybe personality traits. That removes me from the character because they lose what makes them... them. But, it's not impossible to totally reconstruct a character while keeping their core concept in tact. It makes it easier with Mizuho using Acacia and Brenden, mainly because those two kind of helped to shape him, mainly Brenden. But Brenden and Hayden had a prior established engagement, which I don't want for this RP 'cause I want to explore them actually falling in love in the first place.

I'm still doing Flynn's history, but it's coming to me. Hayden's will be a bit harder to structure and fit right, which is partially why I'm taking so long with Flynn. I wanna see how Mizuho establishes Acacia in this RP.

Which is was my devious plan. Or part of it, at least. I have such loose lips. QQ

Mizuho said
OH that's why it's not loading! You could still ask them for critique though!

Oh, no, the critique thing was for when I was making him for Blue Blood. =P

EDIT: I'm also tempted to make three teachers. Mwuaha.

Why? Because it's very difficult to get teachers in these RPs and I love the idea of playing them. I'm already a student and I was semi-popular in high school, despite my shyness (I got around in the least sexual way possible and the most platonic way imaginable; I was just extremely approachable and genuinely friendly and people tend to respond well to someone who makes you laugh [with, not at]), so playing a student is 50/50 for me. I'd have to have something really interesting in mind for that.

[Lilacs]

Okay, speaking of Acacia, I have her posted in the second post of this roleplay thread. It's kind of bad, since it's just a rough draft at this point, and Acacia's CS was one of the only CSs I didn't have saved x_x And as far as my CSs go, it's kind short, so I'll probably be adding more detail later.

I have Brenden's CS saved, so I'll be tweaking that tomorrow so it'll fit in with Caelbury. Speaking of which, Hae, you should help me tweak Brenden because I'm not quite sure what to do.

[McEulo]

Would it be fair to say that if my character tested a high IQ and speaks multiple languages, but doesn't apply himself and gets low grades, he would be a Commoner?

Hmmm... Interesting. I wouldn't see why not, because the definition of a commoner is technically getting into the school via lottery. (I'll add in more info about this later) as long as your character doesn't do anything to gain attention from Caelbury, I'd say that's valid.

I think test scores speak louder than actual grades.

I'd assume the school wouldn't want to pass up someone of his calibre, but also wouldn't want to threaten their own school scores and grades, so would put him on an academic probation of sorts to keep him from singlehandedly ruining their rep with one score. Like all schools, they don't really care if he's a slacker or not unless that threatens the amount of money they make and amount of reputation they an ultimately gain from it. Even if they're handing out scholarships for students who can't afford to get it, but are smarter or better at athletics than most people who are actually attending. The whole loss/gain would actually not be a problem for them if they're upping their test scores with the influx of extremely smart and brilliant minded students, even if they have to spend more money to admit them to their school, in the first place. They would gain more money from wealthy people who want to fund them because they're responsible, reliable, and don't fail to impress. They're gaining more than they're losing, which is also why it's so difficult for people who are so low on the class scale to get in in the first place.

I am treating this as if it were a real school. QQ Well, it is set in the real world, so real world logic applies, especially high-class logic.

Also, damn, Mizuho, I don't even make my personality sections that long. XD And I've written a vignette and novella for my bio/history sections before.

I think test scores speak louder than actual grades.I'd assume the school wouldn't want to pass up someone of his calibre, but also wouldn't want to threaten their own school scores and grades, so would put him on an academic probation of sorts to keep him from singlehandedly ruining their rep with one score.Also, damn, Mizuho, I don't even make my personality sections that long.

The commoner addition to the school is actually quite difficult. Like I said, they get in via lottery but.. My friend (who is apparently joining this) suggested commoners who have potential to do well, even if they're not geniuses, are entered in the lottery. And like Hae said, letting in students could potentially lower the school's standards so tricky tricky. Bleh.

And also: the personality is my favorite part to write about! I could actually add like 3 more paragraphs right now, there were some key points of Acacia that I missed. But I won't cuz I'm lazy XD
