[OOC] Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

[Silver Fox]

I have to wonder of these like this. How events like this Paris don't make me feel much. In my head, I know it's sad and wrong. Yet I don't feel much. Or I don't recognize it.

Perhaps because part of my brain is like 'Whatever. It's just 160 people.' Even though I morally know that is heartless. I should feel something. Seeing people like Caits who get so passionate over it, they throw their anger at something. Or just sad. They are both interesting and confusing.

I'm strange and off indeed.

I do feel. Undertale made me feel something. Uplifted maybe.

In games, I always play the good guy. Wonder if that means if deep down, I do feel compassion.

Or maybe just playing life like a game. Picking the morally correct choices.

Still, I hope for the best for the lives lost and the lives left. Hope things get better.

I think it's just because of...it's distant. It's not something we think of, until it happens, but because it hasn't happened to us, it makes it...unreal.

@Caits

Maybe.

But then again, my own mother told me to kill her if need be so there's that xD

But yeah, it's probably because it's not me.

@Caits

Which would be easier to hear: A family was murdered in their home or your family was murdered in your home? Distance and familiarity make all the difference. I just read something that seems eerily parallel to this train of thought though. Give it a read if you wish but read the entire thing, or you might get lost:

120 there is one small country betqeen me and french so im a little more up to date but truly i dont care what happens. Even if terrorist would do something in my country then i wouldnt care. If i was in it dont care. The only thing that woild make me care was somwone i somewhat cared about would be in that terrorist attack but the only thing that gavw my hwart a missing beat was a man looking for his missing son while running through the street.

[MarshiestMallow]

@liferusherI care because hey, 127 (from the latest news report in the net) are dead, 200 are injuried, 80 seriously so chances are there will probably be another 40 dead before tomorrow. I also care because I actually know someone who was in the Sydney Lindt cafe heist, from the guy claiming to be apart of Isis last year about this time and I care because no one has the right to do this

Mostly I just care because I think if the families torn apart, children expecting parents home, or siblings or parents expecting kids home and it just isn't happening. I think what would happen if that happened here, if my family was torn apart and I just can't not feel for Paris, and the people involved

Anyway I'm off to bed

@Caits

Yeah. I know its sad. Yet I don't feel so depressed compared if it would of actually happened to me. After all. If you think about it. A lot of people are suffering that we don't think about. People die everyday, there are people slowly dying, there are orphans, there are people starving. People are killed.

This is just a bigger event to make itself known.

Perhaps its a little different with my family. We'd feel sad, more angry then sad though, but we'd quickly get over it if we were torn apart similarly.

Well. My mother's side of the family at least. My fathers side is probably more emotional.

Even 9/11 didn't get us. well. I didn't know about till way later since I was a kid and hardly paid attention and ignored the news. Only thing I remember is mother giving kudos to Firefighters. She's always liked them.

Character Sheet
Name: Emory Sky (Ghost)
Age: 20
Birthday: X872
Magic: Caster, Teleportation.
Magic Level: A

History

History: Emory was abandoned shortly after birth by his parents, he was raised by a small family of farmers that treated him like a ghost, he had his set chores to do and that was the extent of his outside interaction, he lived a sheltered life growing up as he was never fully allowed to leave the farm let alone his room, his adoptive parents treated him like an unwanted burden. Emory's magic manifested in summer the year he turned ten, he had been out picking and storing melons in the field as was his job this time of year and no sooner than he'd cleared the small melon field he was attacked from behind, a blade slashed across his shoulder causing him to fall in sudden shock from the pain, twisting around to see his assailant Emory gaped at the families eldest son who was wielding his father's old military issued sword, bringing it up above his head he brought it tip down at Emory, Emory curled tightly into a ball quickly and waited for the pain that didn't come, uncurling himself he looked around, he wasn't in the melon field anymore, rather the large forest that was several hundred feet away from the farm. Emory learned to control it easily enough, he never went back to the farm opting instead to work for a near by older fellow who was rather wealthy, he took Emory under his wing and raised him, teaching him how to properly use a staff as a means of defense. Seven years later the old man passed away leaving Emory once more alone. Emory made his way to Crocus in search of a guild to join knowing now that he had learned all that he could about magic by himself.

Personality: Emory is incredibly friendly if he can get passed his initial shyness, he's often seen as laid back and quiet, he enjoys the company of people over being alone, though he would appear to be the loner type as he likes to sit back quietly and distance himself from groups, he prefers to be at the edge of things, never alone or the center of attention, he has a strong sense of compassion and curiosity.

1. Quick witted.

3. Agile.
Three Weaknesses:
