This is a classic slice-of-life roleplay, that mostly focuses on interactions between characters. The plot will mostly be created by the roleplayers, and there will be a lot of freedom with choices, pairings especially. This is mostly meant to be fluffy and light, mostly as a break from all of the really hardcore roleplays on here.
Pembroke High - Pembroke High is one out of two public high schools within Starlit City. It's home to a wide array of subjects and electives. It's three stories high, and it's the most populated school in the city. First years are on the first floor, second years on the second, and third years on the third. There's a lush courtyard outside of the school, and the roof is usually not off limits, so many students eat lunch there when it's nice out. It has an indoor swimming pool.

He has bright, inquisitive green eyes, with catlike pupils. His eyes are sharp around the edges, but often gleam with mischievousness. He has dimples whenever he smiles. His lips are rather thin as well as being pale, but they don't get chapped often.
He also has a pale complexion, that's relatively healthy. He does have a scar on top of his right hand, one long scar close to the small of his back.

Strengths Romeo is capable of being an incredible fighter. He has quick reflexes and is very magically powerful, alongside being lithe and agile. Due to how quickly he moves and how tuned his reflexes are, he's often one step ahead of any opponent. He's more calculative than most individuals give him credit for. However, he's incredibly skilled with pyromancy. His magical fire abilities are second only to Edelweiss, and he's also very handy with his rapier.
Quirks Hates it when anyone tracks mud onto the floors.
Fears Either one of his siblings dying. He fears losing them more than anything, even if he really doesn't say it aloud. He's willing to brave through anything else, but losing one of them is absolutely out of the question. Their mother is dead and their father only really bothers with Edelweiss sometimes, so it's natural for him to be protective over his siblings.
Ambition Truthfully, Romeo wants to become the strongest out of his siblings. As of now, Edelweiss is believed to be the most powerful out of the three of them, and it irks him that he's only regarded as a cheater and an irresponsible person. He wants to be seen as someone very vital to the Norse pantheon's cause, and he hates being disregarded.
Personality The irresponsible and mischievous third triplet of the Loki siblings. His brother is Rollo and his sister is Edelweiss. Since he's the youngest, he knows himself to be of little importance and mostly goofs off.
Romeo dislikes responsibilities and often runs away from any sort of work. He always wants to be amused and dislikes any task that he deems to be boring. He's also kind of cruel, at times using others for his own purposes. He's witty and can be manipulative, sometimes tricking others into doing work for him. He's a good liar, who lies whenever it'll benefit him. He tends to play with others' emotions for his own amusement. He can tend to be disrespectful to those who try and boss him around. Despite his childish and optimistic demeanor, he's very fickle.
Romeo is incredibly intellectual. By most people's standards, he'd be an absolute genius. Most tend to underestimate him due to how carefree and positive he acts. Romeo is more intuitive than anyone else really gives him credit for. He can tend to predict the next actions of others. He's also incredibly thick-skinned and he doesn't get offended easily. He's patient, however. He knows how to wait for his plans to unravel. He's also someone with a good sense of judgment. He always listens to all sides of a story before making any decisions.
Father Loki
Mother Alvilda Karstenen
Siblings Edelweiss, Rollo
Pets None
History Romeo's mother was a human, and his father was the god of mischief, Loki. His mother was visited by Loki very often before she became pregnant. She was not married yet, causing her parents to become absolutely furious with her. She was kicked out of her home. He, alongside his two siblings, were born as triplets on a snowy Friday afternoon in an orphanage that had been kind enough to take their mother in for the time being. For the most part, they spent most of their early childhood with their mother. They weren't really educated, and didn't have a stable lifestyle. Their motherwasn't able to support them without a husband. Her parents were gone from her life, and she had no siblings. So, she married a rich noble when they turned about four.
This man was a terrible and cruel abuser. He abused the three siblings very much. He had disliked the idea of his wife already having three children from another man. Although he treated all of the siblings in a cruel manner, Edelweiss usually took the brunt of it for her siblings. Whenever Romeo spoke out, she would take any punishment he was given for him. This horrified Romeo, watching his sister get beaten so often. Eventually, he learned to quiet down for her sake. Their mother wasn't spared from the cruel treatment either. As months passed, Edelweiss became more unstable and visually sicker. Romeo soon learned that Edelweiss believed that their father, who she had been told about by their mother, would come to save them.
Over the years, Romeo watched as Edelweiss grew more tormented and obsessed with the thought of their true father. Her beliefs escalated to the point where she began to worship Loki's image. The three siblings always stuck very close together. Still, Edelweiss sheltered them from whatever was thrown towards them. It was also often that Romeo would steal extra food from the kitchen for her, knowing the risk that there was. Until one day, it actually happened. Their mother was killed by their adoptive father after she confronted him. And from the Norse Pantheon, Loki arrived. He descended in a plume of fire a couple of days after the incident. For years, the god had not been aware of his former lover's location. Immediately, he killed her abuser, and took Romeo, Edelweiss and Rollo in. They were brought to the Pantheon and immediately treated for their wounds. But the memories of the abuse would last for a lifetime,
Romeo became infuriated with Edelweiss after she asked Loki to train her to become more powerful. He truthfully couldn't stand the thought of his sister putting herself in harm's way. But he also couldn't stand the thought of her spending too much time with their father, Loki, after the many years that he had been absent from their lives. The two of them had a fierce argument, which ended with Edelweiss angrily leaving the room. He stuck to Rollo like glue for awhile after that, before he too asked to be trained alongside Edelweiss, with Rollo coming right after them. The three siblings were also thoroughly educated. Although Romeo obviously lacked an interest in learning too much, with the exception of how to fight and partake in battles.
Years passed, and the three siblings eventually grew to become important figures within the Norse Pantheon.
Hello! So excited that this is up! Here's my character outline:
For as long as he can really remember, Sol has been adept at handling two things: swords and magic. Throughout his twenty on the earth, he hasn't really mastered much else. Born on the eastern plains to a small tribe of kitsune, he was raised to handle the mysterious magical powers passed down through generations of kitsune warriors. When very young, Sol was perhaps the most adept at controlling and utilizing his powers, much to the envy of his peers. Despite how skilled he was, there was no doubt that Sol was a young and foolish kitsune. He had a bad attitude and was a habitual mischief-maker, much to the exasperation of his teachers. It was during a test of magical skill that he accidentally killed another member of the tribe by accident.
After that, he was cast out of the tribe and chased from the territory. He wandered for many days, becoming weaker and weaker, before he was found by a wandering swordsman who took pity on him. He allowed Sol to accompany him to the next town. The two had a rocky start. However, a group of bandits attacked them, and the swordsman fended them off, causing Sol to look up to him. He begged the swordsman to train him. After awhile of pleading, the swordsman begrudgingly accepted. For many years, Sol was trained by the middle-aged man, becoming wiser and more experienced as years passed by. Eventually, his master passed on due to a bone disease, leaving Sol on his own. After that, Sol continued to travel and mostly help those who needed it.
Sol is a mischievous, but intellectual young kitsune who is good at reading people. He tends to push people too far at times, but he can often back up his words with his deadly skills. Unfortunately, he's a little too eager to fight at times. And he's a little too confident in his own abilities. Nonetheless, Sol is a calculative individual, who has an adventurous spirit and a good sense of humor. Although, he is more than a little bit arrogant. He's also a pessimist, who tends to see the bad sides of people more than he sees the good in them. He tends to be incredibly brutal in combat.
Sol is what is known as a spellsword. He specializes in three types of magic. The first is known as Foxfire, and it's a type of magic that involves purple flames. It is exclusive to kitsune. The next type of magic is Sword Magic. Sword magic allows him to enchant his blade to make it even more powerful. He can combine his deadly Foxfire with his sword to create a devastating combination. The third type of magic is Blue Magic. Blue Magic allows him to copy the magical attacks of other creatures and fighters, and use them as his own. He may only copy one ability at a time, and he can't copy physical attacks.
Although he doesn't like to admit having them, Sol does have weaknesses. While he's physically and magically powerful, he is not a fast fighter. His defenses against physical attacks are honestly rather poor as well, making him a bit of a glass canon. He has also not completely mastered Blue Magic yet. If he doesn't have complete control of the magic he is, it can fire back at him and attack him at the least convenient moments.
