So... Was I ever exswpted?
Xander, you've been told numerous times that you have not been accepted.
Your standard of writing is too low for this role play.
It is suggested that you work on your spelling and grammar before making the shift over into casual. Please take into account the constructive criticism numerous members of the roleplay have given you. We're not trying to be cruel, it's just a matter of the standard we uphold here.
Best of luck for your future roleplays!

Theme: Melodies of Life
"Just close your eyes and count to three, and you're all better! See, it's like a miracle, right?"
Name: Miriam Christa Justus
Nickname: "None really, though my neighbors back at home kept calling me 'Sister'. I wonder why . . . ?"
Age: 18.5
Gender: Female
Height: 5'4
Weight: 102.7lbs
Ethnicity: Filipino/Half-Israeli
Sexuality: Straight
Relationship Status: "Single with no experience . . . *sniffle*"
Political Affiliation: "I'm not really that good at understanding politics . . . can't we just do our best for the country?"
Religion: Christian Catholic
Drugs of Choice: "Uh . . . um . . . er . . . stay away from drugs . . . if you can?"
Alcoholic Preference: Wine
Favorite Food: "Oh this is an easy one: Pork Sisig! What? You don't what that is? Oh, okay . . ."
Major: Nursing
Clubs: None
Year: Freshman
Roommates: "Ah, I live with my Tito (uncle) near the school along with my brother and my Tita (Aunt)"
Occupation: Part-timer at a nursing home in the afternoon and a daycare during weekends.
Talents/Skills: "I can sing and play the piano! My brother thinks I'm not very good, but he's just jealous! I think . . . okay maybe I'm not that good, but I'm not bad either!" As you can see, she's insecure. She is actually very good (at the piano) and rather decent (at singing).
Likes: "I do like quiet places where I can read a good book, oh, and singing and playing the piano too! What else . . . hm . . . well praying and going to church is very relaxing for me. That isn't weird is it? Most of my friends back home aren't christian, so they don't really get it. I also like eating and cooking by the way! I wanna learn how to bake, but I'll save that for another time. Listening to music is also a hobby of mine."
Dislikes: "I have a few dislikes, after all, who doesn't? This includes discrimination and violence, however, above all I absolutely despise apathy."
Personality: Miriam, partly due to her upbringing, is usually calm and relaxed and constantly has a smile on her face, even under intense pressure and horrible situations. This attitude of hers is particularly for when she is around other people; she does her best to seem fine so that other people can relaxed and cheerful in turn; only when she is safely out of sight does she breakdown - this is especially hard for her, because despite her normal attitude, she's still a young woman, and is nowhere near as strong as she wants others to believe. Her attitude when it comes to work is serious, methodological, organized and hardworking, but when working with others she has problems being straightforward because she doesn't want to step on anyone's toes. Miriam prefers preventing conflict rather than ending it.
For Miriam, she considers her existence to be for the sake of helping other people; her own wishes count for next to nothing. Her natural (not to mention extreme) martyrdom applies to almost everyone, and she never turns away someone in need. However, she has not deluded herself into thinking she is some sort of messiah; she knows that she cannot save anyone, even is she wants to.
Regardless of all these traits, however, Miriam does not in fact feel compelled to help other people for the sake of her ego or because of some sense of duty; she helps others because to her, it is simply the right thing to do. To ignore other in need is a sin above all others in her eyes, and she will have nothing of it.
History: Miriam is the fourth child out of ten siblings. Her father was a enlistee in the Philippine Army, while her mother, an illegitimate child from an Israeli tourist and a local waitress, was a dishwasher at a local pub. Naturally, that meant there wasn't much money around, so they lived in poverty. Still, her family was relatively happy, and while her father was an atheist, her mother was a devout Christian. It was from her that her love of the faith stemmed . . . but perhaps it would have been better if her mother was a little less enthusiastic about teacher her their religion: Miriam absorbed her lessons too much, and her sense of martyrdom broke out in a way no one in her family was prepared to deal with. This sense of self-sacrifice was further aggravated by the poverty she lived in. Miriam began doing things that affected her health - she would give away her lunch to beggars, comfort the sick and dying despite the risk of exposure, and even began getting involved with quarrels at the pub her mother worked in.
Distressed, her family took many measures to curb her urge to help. There were many of them, but suffice it to say that none of them worked. Her family gave up on this, and for years simply tried to make sure she didn't get herself killed. They always nearly failed. Once she entered her fourth year of high-school, however, an opportunity to stop or at least slow down her dangerous habits presented itself: Several of wealthier her uncle and aunts began offering her family a chance to go abroad and study there. Of course, in a family of ten kids that went to cheap, dirty public schools, such a chance was more than just a gift; it was practically a god-send.
The first to go was of course, Miriam, who was accompanied by her older brother. The younger ones would stay with the family until they got to high-school. Her parents hoped that in a place with not so much poverty and less people in need, Miriam wouldn't be able to act on her self-sacrificing tendencies. Of course, they had no idea about a certain experiment . . .
Well, they do say the lord works in mysterious ways . . .
Power: Self-Healing and Manipulation and Sensing of Injuries and Sickness. Her abilities take some explanation: Self-Healing is exactly as it sounds where Miriam recovers rapidly from injuries and sickness, however the process is slow can only be done when at rest (sleeping). When at a sufficient distance from a person (about 3 meters) she cans sense whether a person is injured or not with her body, meaning she will feel what the person afflicted is feeling.
Naturally, this becomes problematic when multiple people are injured/sick. She can swap a persons health with her own through skin contact; if she is injured and comes across a healthy person, through contact she becomes the healthy one and the other person gets her injury. The vice-versa of this, where she is healthy and another person is injured, is also possible.

Personality:
Nicole is a workaholic with an addiction to her occupation comparable to that of a severe drug addict. Having devoted every ounce of her life to her job she's had little time to develop close relationships. Her interest in her job is above anything else in her life leaving a noteworthy trend of anti social behaviour that often leads to her departing from social gatherings in the pursuit of a story. However when needed she's skilled in the art of conversation, and is capable of stringing people along in convincing relationships to serve her own occupational and sexual needs.
Despite this it seems she lacks the ability to legitimately empathize with other people, and is viewed by certain individuals as cold and emotionless. Her priority is the always the story at hand, and if she has to cut a few ties or step on some toes she'll be more then willing to do so if necessary. An atmosphere composed of chaos and drama with her in the center is where she feel's the most alive. She's had more then a few visits to the emergency room as a result of her knack to get too entangled in the throes of the danger involved in her field. She possessive's a habitual disregard towards authority figures and laws including breaking and entering, theft, obstruction of justice ect for the sake of important information. It would seem to some that she draws on an infinite pool of energy due to her remarkable ability to balance intense studying and work for days on end without rest.
History: Born and raised in Alice Springs, Australia. She is an only child to Peter and Veronica Bishop. Her father worked for a large American Oil and Gas company whilst her mother taught at the local school. Though Nicole had loving parents, she was usually left with a hired nanny due to both her parents' occupations. This may have been the cause of Nicole's less than affectionate persona. Growing up, she never tried to stand out, but that didn't mean she wasn't causing any mischief. As a girl she spent a lot of time listening to adults, which only fortified the lies she told from time to time. Even when she was caught or in trouble, Nicole remained resilient with her talent.
After spending most of her life in Alice Springs, Nicole couldn't help but want more. She didn't believe she could allow herself to be limited to only being where she had grown up, or her own country for that matter. To her, there were secrets just waiting for her to unravel all over the world. She wanted to really get into Journalism, and couldn't do so without seeing the world. Her led her to travel. She started out easy, just going to New Zealand and interning for a local newspaper. Then she moved on to go to the Philippines and Malaysia. This time she had her very own blog set up. What she did, fuelled a passion in her. Finding out new things and sharing them with the world. It was a service, and also adventurous for her. When Nicole knew she'd want to do this for a living, she set her eyes on the United States. The University of San Francisco had caught her eye with their exceptional program for foreign student. Upon her arrival to San Francisco University, Nicole joined the university newspaper. She started as a photographer, but with time, she began suggesting and even writing articles. Before her second semester of college had ended, Nicole was made an editor, which held a higher position. Though she was named editor, she didn't let it stop her for going out and finding her own stories to share with the campus. Currently, Nicole is a sophomore, just getting back into her niche. For some reason, she feels like this year is going to be a lot more interesting for better and worse...

May I say, welcome to the Guild. It's a pleasure to have someone new around here and I hope that this is a good first rp for you here. I've got to say I really love your character. Regarding your Roommate status, I think what I have put down for Astrid is not working out. Perhaps you would be interested in sharing an apartment? Could provide some interesting content between our characters.

_"The world's almost over, loco, gotta live it up or you'll regret it when it's all over!"_
**Name:**
Lupe Ellie Bellemonte
**Nickname:**
_Rockstar, Mad Lupe, Spicegirl_
**Age:**
21
**Gender:**
Female
**Height: **
5'5
**Weight:**
136
**Ethnicity:**
Hispanic - Colombian, Mexican, Argentinian, & French.
**Sexuality:**
Lupe's straight, but has done some "Bi-stuff" as she describes it
**Relationship Status:**
Single
**Political Affiliation:**
Whoever keeps America from going to shit.
**Religion:**
Lupe's family is a deeply religious family, a Christian family. She has been taught almost everything there is about Christianity, but unfortunately has gone astray of her teachings after she found something more... rewarding.
**Drugs of Choice:**
Fortunately, Lupe leaves the drugs alone as her life's just fine, but she has a thing for liquor. To the point where she abuses it.
**Alcoholic Preference:**
Vodka my good boy. She mixes it with something else, and she has herself a tasty combination.
**Favorite Food:**
Seafood
**Major:**
Clinical Science
**Clubs:**
Music Club/School Band
Swim Team
**Year:**
Sophomore
**Roommates:**
None. Lupe doesn't live too far away from campus, and it's cheaper to simply live off campus.
**Occupation:**
Part time DJ and Stripper.
**Talents/Skills:**
Lupe has gotten a few skills under her belt from over the years. First and foremost, she's extremely fluent in the Spanish language, to be true to her roots. She's just as good at English, due to living in the country for a great chunk of her life and knowing the language being a necessity. She merely practices Spanish as something on the side just to brag about to her family. Lupe has always had a knack for the musical arts. Taught by her grandmother, whom known a few instruments of her own, Lupe is an avid guitarist. Bass, acoustic, electric, it doesn't matter, she's good with all of them. She's often seen playing Electric guitars. She's been playing the guitar in her spare time for years, and it's simply a passion for the woman. A talent from her youth she will surely pass down to her children, and their children. Ahem, that isn't the extent of Lupe's talents in the music business. Lupe is a DJ for a cheap club, and therefore, she knows how to operate the turntable, and has enough of a knack for music to make up a wicked beat. Dancing is also another skill she had to pick up at the strip joint, and man, Lupe certainly knows how to work the pole! On the athletic side of things, Lupe is a swimmer. She signed up for the high school's swim team and used that as a great way to stay in shape. She was also taught how to play soccer by her little brother, but she never played it officially (I.E. for any teams). Finally, Lupe has gotten a few brawls under her belt, and knows how to streetfight (HADOUKEN!). She doesn't have any martial arts or formal training, but she doesn't need any! You don't need any to punch the fuck out of someone.
**Likes:**
Music, movies friends, partying, food, good looking people, swimming, drinking, and fun.
**Dislikes:**
Misery, "touchy-feely" moments, assholes, racism, her past, boring peope, and various other things that'd get in the way of her fun
**Personality:**
A party-girl that lives life to it's fullest. Tragedy struck her bloodline and it has convinced her that the only thing that matters is fulfilling her hedonistic needs and getting cheap thrills. Despite this, Lupe has made sure to never cross the line and remain a nice person, and treat people right. That said, Lupe is an extrovert to her core, she lives to hang around with other people. She certainly isn't afraid to walk up and start a conversation someone (Unless they're a nerd, creepy, or really, really phat). But on the flipside, she isn't afraid to walk [i]away [/i]from someone she dislikes. She's calm, cool, and friendly, but she has a bit of spice and flair to all of her actions. She tends to joke around a lot, and act with a fire behind all of her actions. She's loud, and likes to be the center of attention - the true life of the party. Because one of her favorite things to do is walk up to a group of friends being bored and make it exciting! Lupe is pretty flirty too, but unlike some girls, she handles it subtly (Because like hell she's going to become the town bicycle). She hints, and uses body language to get her point across to the boy of the day. How tall of a glass of water she considers them, the harder she'll try - and even if that doesn't work, she'll label them a lost cost and walk away. Though, that's rare. She's good looking and has such a way with words that it's easy for her to win over any guy. While she prefers guys, she is open to a relationship to someone of the same sex. But she rarely considers them real relationships, and only flings that come and go. She can be protective of her friends, and stand up to a bully, male, female, or in authority, because she hates it when someone bullies others because they have a taste of power. More importantly, she can't let people think that they can step all over her undeterred. Which is why she's a bit more fighty than most people.
Though, emotional situations is where Lupe really falls apart. She's bad at giving advice, or counseling a crying friend - thus, she is a bad motivator. When these touchy-feely moments begin, Lupe usually becomes closed off until the fun starts again. It's because of her mentality to have fun and live life to it's fullest no matter what - she doesn't view such moments as "fun". Though, people also find out that Lupe isn't that open about certain things, as well. Such as her family, and where she came from. To her, it's the same as emotional moments; an obstruction of her fun. Lupe finds it hard to really empathize with people, but she tries to be nice as possible. But once they get to a party, they find another side of her. The hedonistic maniac that lives to fulfill her needs. No matter how self-destructive they are. Sex, drugs, alcohol, it doesn't matter to her. It's mostly stems from her desperation to live an exciting life, and her belief that she wishes to avoid living a normal, boring life. So she does everything she can to make sure that it's interesting, not just for herself, but the troupe she associates herself with. Because hey, what's the fun in doing this alone? Lupe doesn't just go to parties to sate her thrill-seeking nature. She has taken to fights with various people, and putting herself in unsafe situations, to get her blood rushing All because she's an adrenaline junkie. Ultimately, in the end, she's a woman that's lost something that she could never get back. So she relies on these vices to mask her grief. Because the one thing she fears the most now is feeling as if she's wasted her life, and thus, she has no choice but to . But, she dug herself a hole, the kind of hole that will never be filled. So the more she worries about it, the bigger it gets. A vicious cycle that will never end until she realizes it, or meets her end.
**History:**
Lupe E. Bellemonte was born in Mexico, Lupe lived the early years of her life in relative comfort, since she was fortunate enough to have a somewhat good living condition. Her father was a very talented engineer, and her mother worked as a surgeon. They lived good, so her early life wasn't anything special. She went to school, met people, and had fun as she should. Quickly growing up to be a social butterfly without too much adversity to alter the course of her life. Her parents had another child when she was around six, her mother got pregnant with another child, and nine months later, she was introduced to her new twin brothers: Alejandro and Diego. She welcomed her younger brother with open arms, and looked forward to when they could play together. The big change in her life was once she was ten, when Lupe's father got a job for a big American company, and had to move to San Francisco. She was blindsided by the change, but was nonetheless open about it. Though, she had a feeling of insecurity as she rode the plane to America. Once there, she had to get over a bit of... culture shock to say the least. Learning English, differing social customs, and so on, was a bit of a problem for Lupe. She had a bit of a problem getting over it - until she had ran into the Hispanic crowd. Some of them were from out of country themselves, and they helped her adjust, and in the process, Lupe had made herself some friends and refined those social skills a bit. After she got used the country, she came to like the place. Having a nice house helped.
Life continued for Lupe. She didn't go without her home country as she visited there plenty of times. Sometimes staying for months on end. While she was there, she spent plenty of time with her Grandparents, especially her grandmother, whom was a legend when it came to the guitar. Since the old lady didn't have much else to do, she spent her quality time with her granddaughter teaching her how to play the guitar. Buying her a guitar for her birthday. At first, Lupe didn't really get it, but as she played more and more, it stuck to her, and it became a hobby that she perfected into her adulthood. Life from there was great, she became a social butterfly in school. One that made friends with all the cooler girls, and became what is called a "popular" girl. She hung out with her friends through her middle-school years. Once she hit highschool, she hit a whole new level. Things got more intense. Sex, drugs, drinking... they were tempting, but Lupe stays away from them. As she was taught not to give into those vices. It was hard, given that some of her nastier friends called her a prude and cut ties. It didn't matter, but Lupe stuck around with the friends that mattered to her. That said, Lupe never excelled in academics, as those weren't her focus. She got passing grades and that was just about it. She advanced through grade school at nineteen and made it to college, and was excited since, because of her grandmother suggesting it, Lupe decided to get into the Medical Science field.
However, her life changed a few months after her graduation... for the worse. While she was hanging out at a friend's house, she had learned that her family had gotten into a rather serious car accident with a man who had run the light. The sheer impact had sent their car flying and nearly crushed one half of it. Her father had been critically injured, and sent into a coma with no signs of ever waking up... while Alejandro, her brother, got his skull smashed open and died. This news had devastated Lupe. Where her mother went to alcohol, and her brother tried to push on despite the loss of his twin, Lupe went to the seven deadly sins in over to recover. That moment was when she realized that her life could end in the flash of an eye. So why should she do things like wait to drink and act in moderation? She went to the very thing those friends had mocked her from staying away from.
Lupe's family still had saved up a college fund for her so she can go off to the San Francisco College and have a chance at success, Lupe only saw it as a new opportunity to indulge herself. She went to every party out that would take a Hispanic girl like her. There were plenty, actually. She met new people, from far and wide, that had the same interests as her: to live life as if every day was their last. She integrated into this new crew to the best of her ability, and became a sort of team leader for them. While she did have fun, she was rather strapped for funds, so she needed a job or two that had flexible work schedules. Fortunately, she had two options actually. First, her DJ friend had referred her to a club that was hiring. Lupe has DJ'd for a few parties in the past, and her DJ friend taught her even more, enough to hired. She was sent forth and got hired at the club... Another more risque job she was suggested was becoming a stripper. Her friend was also a stripper and told her that Lupe was everything they wanted, and could ace the job. Lupe considered it... but at this point, she was open for anything. She took the job and it was uncomfortable dancing for all these strange and sweaty men. But she had to get use to it. The money was good, too good to pass up, so she had no choice. Both jobs got her enough money to continue her lifestyle. So, while it was work, the reward was too good. Plus, she was able to balance her job, schoolwork, and her social and party life quite well, so it didn't matter. But the problem was that she found it was getting harder and harder to go home and look her family in the eye.
And yet, another interesting variable was about to enter the mix...
**Power:**
_Reflective-Traveling._ Lupe's main power is the ability to enter reflective surfaces (Of any size) by touch and travel from one mirror to another. In this state, she can only be seen in reflections, and is otherwise undetectable. Almost like every reflective surface is another world that she can walk into. The main strength of this ability would have to be it's movement potential. Lupe can instantly teleport to another mirror long as it's in a linear pattern. There are few limits on the distance, really, long as she can physically perceive where another reflection is, she can appear in that one. Anything she has on her can be brought with her, in addition to being able to bring other people along with her. Once Lupe shifts back into the real world, anything she brings will her will follow. Appearing in the exact location they were in the mirror. Naturally, this ability has plenty of movement, and stealth, potential. But Lupe also has an offensive ability on the side. She can attack the reflections of other people - but, any blows she deals gives people a phantom pain, not physical damage. But Lupe, long as the reflection is large enough, can also reach out of a reflection and interact with the outside world.
_Reflection-Manipulation._ While outside of Reflections, Lupe has the ability to manipulate other reflections. First and foremost, she can control what appears inside of a reflection. This ability is more or less the same as illusion creation - except with mirrors! She can project any image she can imagine into her reflections, and alter existing images. Finally, she can alter the reflectivity of the surface, with a thought, she can render a reflection inert, or extra reflective.
_Reflective-Vision._ Easily the technique she's the least familiar with. By focusing extensively on a single reflection, with a clear goal in mind, Lupe can see other people and places through them. The longest she's able to maintain this would be thirty seconds, then the vision fades. If she tries again immediately, then she'll have a harder time getting the image to appear again - and even then, she'll only be able to hold the vision up for even less time. Another ability she has is limited precognition/retrocognition. She can see a few second glimpse of the past/present, usually a key moment during the event she wishes to look into. And just to be clear, she'll only be able to [i]see[/i] into these reflections.
_Reflective-Mimicry._ As Lupe's final ability, she is able to copy anything that is reflected (She has to be inside the mirror first). She can copy powers, and appearances, and bring them back to the real world with her to utilize. In terms of her appearance copying, she will be an exact replica of whoever she chooses down to the clothes. In terms of her power replication, she will get a weaker, diluted form of the power. She'll discard any powers, or she'll revert to normal, once she enters another mirror.
