Good idea! Hopefully, no one ignores it. ( So basically Blazion you're guaranteed the spot ^_^ )

[Blazion]

Haha, good, good! I'll make the worst character ever now and make you regret it.

Kidding, just finishing up the bio now (I left it for last). I agonize over how I phrase everything.

[Supreme Vampiric Evil]

I do believe this is going to kick ass.

[AgniSpirit]

I'm super excited!

[Blazion]

I tried really hard not to ramble but it ended up really long anyway. :c There was just so much I wanted to write about how do you people compress everything teach me your secrets.

Name: Alena Rurik

Gender: Female

Clique: Jock

Extra-curricular Activities: Track [Cross Country], Captain of the Hockey Team, trains in Sambo martial arts.

Personality: Most people who meet Alena would describe her as a giant puppy. Seemingly having no end of excitement or cheer for life it’s easy for her to get on others nerves, even if she does try to contain it. Most people doesn’t include anyone she’s met in any sort of competitive atmosphere however. Alena becomes almost scary on the field, ice, and in the ring as aggression seems to take over her every move. While making sure not to come off as a sore loser to her opponent every defeat is taken personally, and it’s very easy to tell the results of a match the next day as every emotion is worn on her sleeve. Despite her open personality however there’s one thing she’s guarded about: academics. Alena hates being seen as a stereotypical dumb jock, but much to her chagrin falls into that category more than she’d like to admit.

Bio: Alena’s parents were a classic case of opposites attract; her father comes from a long line of hulking Russian military men while her mother is a popular pianist hailing from Ireland. It was pure chance that they met, as after being dragged by his then-girlfriend to the touring pianist’s concert Alena’s father fell in love with her music, resolving in his stubborn mind to meet the woman who made such beautiful music by getting VIP tickets to her next performance. Needless to say despite the circumstances they hit it off and things grew from there (though his now ex-girlfriend still gets sour around classical music). When Alena was born she quickly became a Daddy’s girl, and it was obvious she wanted to follow completely in his footsteps, join the military and serve her country, and he was more than happy to encourage her into such an active lifestyle. It wasn’t exactly hard as Alena was often bigger than even her male classmates – her lifestyle combined with a towering height due to taking after her father in more than just personality. The biggest turning point of her life however came just as she entered her teenage years, and due to being exceedingly open let it slip to her parents she had kissed one of her classmates. A female classmate. While initially hoping it was just a phase Alena told her parents honestly it wasn’t – and they accepted it despite their worry of her being persecuted. It was due to this worry and love of their daughter that they made a large decision about their life – to move away from Russia to somewhere their precious daughter could be happy. While Ireland was an option due to being her mother’s homeland ultimately they decided on the USA, land of the free. It was an awkward move, made more so by being foreign in a new land and to top it off a lanky, towering teenager. The teasing was bad in middle school – up until she made her best friend by viciously head butting him during floor hockey in gym class. He took it well, being the most respected athlete on the middle school’s football team, and even admired her fight. They became fast friends waiting outside the principal’s office afterward, cementing the girl’s status for the next years as a permanent fixture with the jocks. Where her teenage years should’ve evened out her heights with her friends however she instead hit the king of all growth spurts, and actually now stands above most of them – and some teachers. Her height combined with a somewhat lanky frame would make Alena look unhealthy were it not for the toned muscle packed onto her. While she’s settled into the jock role well in the years that passed, in truth she’s a bit frustrated by the elitist attitudes of those around her, and what they’d think of her few hidden aspects.

Relationship Status: Recently single; had a girlfriend for a few months but grew frustrated with Jenna’s need to hide their relationship – this is supposed to be the land of the free.

Picture:

Other: Knows how to play the piano, but is rather rusty at it much to her mother’s disappointment.

GINGER AUTO ACCEPTED--

For real, I do love your character though. ^_^ Accepted! I'll add her to the description tomorrow, because it's midnight here, and I'll get the first post up.

[Supreme Vampiric Evil]

Added a bit of depth to Jake's personality. Thanks AgniSpirit. Ray's personality feild inspired this action.

[smilies]

First post is up. Note: not all your posts need to be as long as the intro I posted. It just happened to be lengthy because I wanted to set the beginning up properly, but don't be daunted by the length.

[AgniSpirit]

Gonna put just a single sentence for my first post then, BWAHAHAHA

[smilies]

DEVIOUS BASTARD! ;) Ahh, even so, I'm excited to see what all you guys come up with.

[Fabricant451]

Man, I should've done a one sentence post. That would've been neat!

[Supreme Vampiric Evil]

Well, there's my opener... I'm gonna build from that...

[Savi]

I'm not sure if I should wait (seeing as my character is the Newbie) or just post...

[Supreme Vampiric Evil]

Do you want to have her walk in on all of the cliqueless or just some of them? I think all would be more amusing, myself. But it's your call. Unless the gm says otherwise. Alternatively, you could make a post about her reactions to the various cliques trying to get her attention before lunchtime.

[Savi]

I mean, I've got the post already typed out. All I need to do is edit it if that's not what the GM wants. I just wanted to know if I should post it now or later.

[AgniSpirit]

I'll post in an hour or two. Still gotta head home and can't type through my phone.

[Savi]

Okay.
