Post for ya! :3

I've just got one question: What do you do? :D

@Mokley

A horrifying monster that seemed bent on killing everyone on the beach versus a blonde woman in pain and exhaustion holding nothing but a bag of herbs?

Welp, it's been great rp-ing with all of you

LANTERN (redux)

Golde coughed and jerked awake. She could feel the waves splashing against her legs, the sand beneath her, and the seaweeds stuck in her hair. Her whole body was shivering and in pain. Even so, Golde fought through the pain and crawled inland until the waves couldn't reach her while trying not to scream in pain.

After a few moments of catching her breath, Golde pushed herself to sit straight and leaned her back at a large rock for support. It was only at this moment that she studied her surroundings. It seemed that she ended up being in a deserted island. She didn't even need to stand to see an endless ocean before her with no signs of other islands in sight.

Then she turned her attention at the beach. A few woods and splinters, maybe the remnants of the ship, along with a few clothes and other unrecognizable objects, possibly belongings of the other passengers that didn't survive. Golde looked at her left and let out a cry of relief when she saw her cloth bag beside her. She reached for it, wincing at the pain from moving suddenly, and opened it to see her belongings complete and wet. Her bag of herbs and berries were also there, also a bit wet but still in perfect state.

Golde suddenly remembered the strangers among the ship, then the storm came bellowing like a gigantic monster. Everyone was shouting, panicking, crying for their dear lives as mountain-like waves continue to crash unto the ship. Golde remembered being submerged under water, her body tossed back and forth by the ocean. Thinking it was her last moment on earth, her thoughts automatically went to her family.

She snapped back into reality when she heard other voices nearby. Golde turned and almost cried in joy to see there are others who survived the storm as she did. She tried to raise her hand but her body was still sore yet she managed a weak wave. "H-hey, over here!", Golde shouted.

Golde

Golde Le'Reaux

Age: 20
Nickname: Angel, Golden Angel
Dialogue Color: LightSalmon

HOW ARE THEY BEST RECOGNIZED IN A CROWD?
> In order to see Angel in a crowd, you will need a really sharp eyesight. Because of her shy and soft-spoken personality, she often wears a cloak every time she goes outside to buy food from the market or harvest herbs and berries in the woods that she would put in her large basket. Really, standing out from a crowd will be the last thing Angel wants to do as she doesn't really want any unnecessary attention. The only striking traits you'll see that will make you sure it was her was the flash of lush, golden hair underneath her cloak along with her fair skin.

WHAT IS A STRANGER'S FIRST IMPRESSION UPON MEETING THEM? HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER SEE THEMSELVES?
> Golde is really beautiful in an angelic way, as claimed by her family and friends, which is why it became her nickname that she'll bring with her for the rest of her life. She used to have suitors lining up outside her house bring flowers and gifts of all kinds to please her and her family. She's also not just those women who lacked at the brain category as anyone can see her intelligence reflected on her blue-gray eyes. Contrary to popular belief that she does little chores, Golde was actually the breadwinner of their family. With how Golde sees herself, let's just say that at that time life's too hard to even think about what you look like.

WHERE DID THEY GROW UP? WHERE DO THEY FEEL AT HOME?
> She grew up in a quaint village at a house near the woods. While she does agree that life can get pretty boring in that village, it was still the home she grew up in and she considered all the villagers as her family. From her childhood 'til up to this day, she often explors the woods near their house and be curious about anything and everything there. Golde would often end up in trouble because she touched plants such as poison ivies or eat wild mushrooms and berries out of sheer curiosity. While her mother would often scold her, her dad urged her to be more curious and open to new knowledge and experiences about the world. Whenever she climbs tall trees, bathe in rivers, or even swing across vines and branches, she often remembers home.

WHO ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN THEIR LIVES?
> Naturally her family and the villagers she grew up with. As it is just a small and quaint village, it made the people who lived there to have stronger bonds with each other. They will come to each other's aid in times of need and celebrate whenever they feel like it. Petty quarrels are inevitable but it will soon disappear like it was nothing and love and happiness would again reign supreme in their village.

WHAT IS THEIR PROFESSION, SKILL OR LIFESTYLE? WHAT DO THEY THINK THEIR STRENGTHS ARE? WHAT ARE THEIR ACTUAL STRENGTHS?
> Her father was the village doctor, and quite a good one at that. Golde admired him for the longest time and longed to become a doctor as talented as he is one day minus the traits he has. She has learned so much during those years of helping her father treat the ill. When she became a young adult, Golde learned so much that she would often treat her father's patients whenever he is away. The villagers and other visiting strangers were thankful to have such a kind, heart-warming doctor to treat them instead of her serious, scary father to which she only replied with a laugh. She also have a real knack for creating potions and remedies from natural ingredients and medicinal herbs. Because of her talent in treating the ill, along with her personality, earned her the nickname Angel.

WHAT ARE THEIR FEARS, FLAWS AND SECRETS?
> Golde is really uncomfortable being the center of attention, so much that will still wear a cloak when going out despite living in a small village. She is also selfless and would take priority on other's needs before hers along with being too kind. She's very curious about anything and her quest to quench her thirst for knowledge sometimes leads her to trouble. However, her deepest fear of all is being unable to cure a patient's disease. Golde will become very depressed and will blame herself for every patient dead due to her failure of finding a medicine for their illness, though her blaming herself wasn't that worse than the first times she experienced it.

WHAT DO THEY WANT MOST? WHAT DO THEY ACTUALLY NEED?
> She's just a simple woman with one simple wish in life: to be happy. Golde imagined herself being the doctor of a village just like her father and maybe settle down with her husband and kids while living a happy and contented life until she dies. Additionally, Golde wants to continue to devote her life in research for medicines and cures for fatal diseases and plagues to people won't have to die just because a medicine or cure wasn't possible in their era. You can say she needs a sense of purpose in this world.

IF YOUR CHARACTER COULD HAVE ANY SUPERNATURAL ABILITY, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
> Golde would pretty much wanr to have the ability to heal any wounds and cure any diseases just by touching.

HOW HAS THE PLAGUE AFFECTED THEM? WHY ARE THEY ABOARD THE LEGEND'S FORGERY?
> Even before the plague infected half of the village people, news about the Legend's Forgery reached their small village. Among all of them, Golde was seemingly the only one unaffected by the plague. She has never encountered a plague so deadly such as this so she couldn't do anything but only watch as the villagers she grew up with went madder and rabid as the days went by. Her family, now showing signs of the plague, urged Golde to leave the village and go aboard the ship to save herself. Sefless and kind Golde refused to do it until the plague's symptoms become worse on her family. She sensed an opportunity to find the cure on the place the ship might be heading so she left with a heavy heart, promising to return.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THIS CHARACTER CHANGE AND DEVELOP?
> I would like her to learn to be more confident about herself as the story develops. Also, I believe it is important for her to know that she cannot save everyone and it is okay if the only person she could save was herself.

PITCH A SMALL SUBPLOT THAT WOULD BE PERSONALLY MEANINGFUL TO YOUR CHARACTER
Now learning of the ancient war that is happening upon the island, Golde took it upon herself to take no sides among them and do her best to heal the injured and sick. This may lead to her being caught by one of the groups into thinking she's a spy for the other.

Golde stopped mid-exit at her door. She glanced back at her family, all moaning and ravenously eating a whole cooked pork as if they didn't just eat a while ago. Even though she did all her best and cooked every meal for her family, she eventually knows the inevitable will come. She tried not to let a single tear cry but she couldn't help it and soon she was on the floor sobbing and screaming about how unfair this all is.
Her family stopped eating and turned their attention to Golde, her face on her hands and a cloth bag beside her. For a moment, they recognized who Golde was and crawled towards her. When she lifted her face, Golde saw the effects of the plague on her family. She still couldn't stop crying about the state of her poor family. Golde embraced them and told them how much she loved them one last time before standing and picking up her cloth bag and left. Meanwhile, her family continued to gaze at the path where Golde disappeared into, with tears on their faces.

Emery Randal

---

The cool afternoon breeze, the tree branches swaying and dancing to the rhythm of life, the playful chirping of birds as they flew across the sky, the sunlight shining through shifting branches. Emery absorbed all this as he sat on a large oak branch a few feet above the air. Even though it seemed that nothing was going on here, Emery still felt energized knowing that everything as far as his eyes can see are full of life. From that high up, Emery can see everything from his modern house and his neighors to the tall buildings on another sector of Esperanza.

Emery only heard tales about the really harsh life majority of the people having on Esperanza from his parents. After all, his parents had been there and did all they could to make sure their children won’t experience this again. Emery is truly grateful to them except that they could be a real handful sometimes.

He glanced down towards his house when he saw his father waving down on him. Emery climbed down the tree in a matter of moments. He’s become an expert at climbing trees despite still having a frail body where he can easily be defeated in bouts, though anyone who truly knows him know he’s too timid and graceful enough to be singled out in a fight.

Emery shook off and removed some leaves and twigs that got caught on his long overly sized white t-shirt and light blue flanned pajama pants. He walked towards his dad who’s dressed like the usual: silver grey suit and pants with a white undershirt and black leather shoes and tie. He looked at the time at his gold-colored wristwatch as he carried a leather bag on his other hand.

“Another meeting?”, Emery asked.

“Yep, just like the usual”, his father said as he removed a few leaves that got tangled in his son’s shoulder-length hair. “We’re finalizing some plans for the university which would be done already if one of my co-board members wasn’t allergic to ink.”

Emery raised his eyebrows a bit. “What pla-“

His father shushed and put a finger on his son’s mouth before he could finish. “You keep on asking the same question and I’ll be giving you the same answer every time: it’s top secret.”

“But it’s been going on forever. Besides, why can’t you trust me? I don’t have that much of a circle of friends to tell someone anyway.”

“It’s not like we don’t trust you, pancake, and I really understand your impatience. I myself am over this plan to be finished so I can relax and watch a movie with your mom but alas, that is not just the way of life.”

Emery’s father looked at his wristwatch. “Well kiddo better get going now. And uhh”, he leaned in closer to whisper at Emery. “I left a few hundred dollars at your wallet. I know your mom doesn’t like you going out that much so be careful. Make sure you use them wisely yeah?”, he said with a wink.

Emery beamed and hugged his father. Then he did a series of high-fives and punches with his dad.

“Honey? We gotta go or we’re gonna be late”, Emery’s mom called from their car at their driveway. She too was dressed in a professional way with a matching silver-grey suit and women pants with a white blouse and black heels, her hair in a tight bun. She saw her husband whispering something to Emery, making her scratch her chin and squint her eyes.

Emery’s father waved and rubbed Emery’s head before he jogged to their car. “Bye pancakes!”, Emery’s mom shouted as she waved and blew a kiss. Emery waved and smiled in response as his parents go into their car and his mom seemingly suspicious and asking his dad, no doubt curious about what he whispered to his son.

As Emery saw them pulling out of their driveway, he immediately went back inside his home and went upstairs to his room, showered and put on some new clothes before getting his bag with the wallet full of cash his dad gave him. On his way out, he passed by his sister’s room and knocked. “Going out now. Might return later.” He heard a groan from inside the room which means his sister just woken up and is currently in the process of becoming a human woman.

Emery shouted a final goodbye as he hurried out of the house to his bicycle at their garage. A smile was painted on his face as he pedaled away to the new day, excited on what he might see and learn today.

The Golden City (Open Superhero RP)

Emery

Name: Emery Randal
Age: 20
Gender: Male (He/She)
Occupation: currently a student at UCE

Hobbies: He mostly enjoys exploring nature and taking a stroll through the woods. Em basically likes to explore the unknown. He also spends most of his time in his room, playing computer games, watching anime, or just simply listening to his music while staring into space. Lastly, he really likes to sing and whenever he feels helpless about something or he wants to vent out something but he doesn't know how to, he just sings.

Musical Tastes: Em's musical taste ranges from mainstream head-bopping pop to movie instrumentals to EDM to anime soundtracks. The only genres he hates are heavy-metal rock and country, for some reason.

Appearance: He stands 5'8" with a lighter than average weight for his age. His skin became fair due to being inside all the time and his hair is longer because his social anxiety kicks in just by the thought of approaching someone. His family and relatives themselves often confuse him as a girl due to his soft-spoken personality to the point that he just doesn't care what you want to call him anymore.

Powers:
> Voice Manipulation: Em can control his voice to imitate other people's voice. He only needs that person to say one word and he can already imitate it in a manner of minutes. He can also imitate other animal voices and inhuman sound effects like demonic laughter or speaking in chorus with his own voice.

Weaknesses:
> Of course, he can't imitate a sound he himself hasn't heard yet.
> Another of course, his power is completely useless to a deaf person.
> Imitating a voice that's way out of his vocal range for too long might strain his voice.
> Though Emery is quick on his feet, he's very physically weak.

Bio:
Emery is the youngest of three siblings and lived a very sheltered life in Concepcion, one of the more well-lived areas in Esperanza. His parents both work at the University of California Esperanza, his mother a Chemistry professor and his father one of the board of the university. His parents worked long and hard to provide a more-than-good life for the children. It is noted in their family heritage that despite living in Esperanza for so long, the last person in their lineage that acquired a power was three generations ago.

His parents are those people who are very open to the ones with abilities but tend to get nervous around them as they are very different from the normal. Since Emery's family discovered his ability, their outlook on Emery's kind changed and they began to be active members of movements that strive for equality among all, whether you're a normal or not. Despite that, his parents were very protective of him and he rarely goes outside without someone looking for him because of what happened to him to the past. They won't tell him what happened that day every time he insists to know the truth. Emery eventually gave up about it and thought that they'll just tell him one day when they're ready.

He was bored because of being sheltered too much, but he was thankful his parents would let him attend a university and explore the woods just behind their house. There at the forest, he can be as himself without fearing what others might think of him. Whenever he feels very sad, he goes out into the woods at night and rests upon the tallest tree branch to stargaze. It was moments like these that he felt he was truly alive.

Other:
> Has an older sister named Emerald
> Secretly angry at his parents because he got a more feminine name than his sister
> Likes strawberry ice cream
> Likes to prank call strangers and his family
> Likes to do introvert, nerd/geek stuff
> Has a bit of wanderlust
