Synopsis
I like telling engaging stories with cool people :)
Collaboration and teamwork are very important to me when telling a story- I could write any genre as long as the group dynamic is healthy.
If you're chill and understand grammar we'll probably get along!

Some Things I Wrote
Too many to share but have a sample platter of poetry
A Snake Lies ---
Sometimes I like to daydream That I am one of God’s favored children That I am more than a snake in someone else’s garden That I could shed this serpentine form Snakeskin and all
And emerge as something beautiful
I long to flex wings of radiant white Soft as clouds and strong as the winds that would carry them What I would give to cast a warm golden light From a graceful and glittering halo Undeniable proof of God’s love for me
Yet here I lurk and slither
Undulating through the undergrowth that shields me From the judgment of His burning eye Always aloft in the daytime sky Piercing and scrutinizing all that I am So I hide in the shadows, only creeping out at night
Better not to know what He would see me as
There are flora abundant in this garden An endless bounty to take part in And a single tree that stands forbidden They clamor about it now, weighing curiosity against divine judgment I watch on, and flick my tongue out nervously
The air tastes bitter and dark
The woman seizes a fruit and sinks her teeth in deep Its juice dribbles tantalizingly down her chin And soon the man is pulled into this scheme They gorge greedily of each other and the tree I am suddenly overcome with a deep sense of envy
I am stricken with the thought that He will blame me
All I ever wanted was to be one of His chosen All I dreamed was to be an angelic being But righteous fury is fast approaching And I know between the three of us who He will trust I let out a low hiss, and do what I must
I emerge into the light
And take credit for the sin that I took no part in
Ironically, im the sucker
you were like a leech teeth sunk deep into my heart draining life and limb
This one is about love
I had clung to you desperately; the driftwood that kept me afloat as our world descended into swirling chaos all around us.
This one is about love too, but nicer
I walk the length of the shore, and I admire its beauty and its crookedness. Its fine, soft sand and all of the imperfections that sand holds within. I sit on the shore and watch with you as the waves roll, in and out.
Jellyfish Drifting ---
I am a jellyfish drifting through the deep
My feeble form carried by currents unseen
Nearly ninety-five percent of my body is water
There is no central nervous system that binds me
And I lack a heart, brain, and feeling
So the biologists say
On the contrary
It has been a long, lonely, hungry odyssey
As I venture through this cold, dark sea
My food is scraps of flesh-like snow
Only the empty darkness as lasting company
And I still don’t know where these currents want me to be
Still, I am good at nothing if not drifting
So I suppose I will have to go at least a little further
Down here in the deep
Beneath the Abyss ---
Waves crash and thunder roars turning the ocean’s surface into a maelstrom of elemental chaos and titanic passions
The contest of surface and sky grows dim and distant as I sink below deeper and further from a world I cannot combat or understand
Tremors of the truth chase me still ripples and reverberations of a reality that I would prefer to leave to the sailors to the fools that are willing and capable
So I pass from the dark of midnight where most truths go to die to the cold and stygian abyss where only nightmares can survive
Lies and fears fall from above and drift around me a sickly dance of pale rotten snow I catch one on my tongue and it is hard to swallow and I know that I have deeper yet to go
I sink so deep language lacks the name down into a chasm in the earth and in my brain
The world above the waves is a harsh and cruel place so I delve past the benthic to a world without pain
@Ammokkx I'm trying to work out brainstorming things with my friend but her schedule seems to have gotten pretty hectic recently. I was going to wait a little while longer to see if things settle down for her. If not, I'll forge ahead and make both characters myself.
Age: Nineteen, a year out of highschool and completely devoid of prospects.
Gender: He’s a guy. Don’t mind the long hair and androgynous figure. Some fellas are just born pretty. Zane’ll still call himself handsome though.
Date of Birth: April First. I know, right?
Ethnicity: Hungarian, apparently. You wouldn’t know it though.
Sexuality: That’s for Zane to know. And his past and present significant others, obviously. Still, that’s for Zane.
Appearance: Tall, kinda skinny with long limbs and not too much meat on him. He isn't bony or anything like that, just definitely not an imposing figure. He has a strong grip, though, with calloused knuckles and long fingers. His skin is lightly toned and for the most part unblemished.
He has tired, shadowy kinds of eyes with brown irises and a hazy gaze. His face is well put together with strong features that don’t go out of their way to call your attention to them. Partially covering that face is an unruly mop of dirty blonde hair that extends to just past the shoulders.
Personality: Zane likes to keep things easy. He tries to be a mellow sort of guy. He doesn’t always succeed, obviously, but, he tries. Or whatever. Doesn't always work out like that and then maybe things get ugly and that's not really that great. So yeah, Zane likes to take it easy. Stay mellow.
In layman's terms, Zane is not a very happy person, but he tries to be. Probably not always in very intelligent or responsible ways, but what about it? Sue him.
Though he definitely prefers quieter more intimate settings, Zane is just as comfortable bumping and grinding in a crowded rave as he is swapping stories and laughing with a small group gathered around a campfire. He loves to be social, keeps him engaged and attentive. And distracted from his own head.
He knows the difference between right and wrong, and it isn't that he doesn't care, he just seems to have a somewhat different definition than some people do of what constitutes said right and wrong behavior. Shoplifting bits and pieces from a convenience store? So what? Cheating on your girlfriend? Go to hell. That's how Zane sees things. Whether he's a good person or a bad person isn't really too much of a concern to him anyways. He's got bigger things to worry about, and all that.
Just, when he says that he takes care of his friends, don't doubt it for a second. You know.
Habits: Fiddling with his hair when he thinks that nobody is watching.
Drifting off into space when nothing much is going on.
Likes: Zane likes a lot of stuff. Why not? Though, you know, some things stand out to him. Like the sound of rain. And cloudy days. A ton of music, he doesn't really dislike any of it. Not picky. Eating. Definitely eating too. Food is good, yeah? One of his favorite things, obviously, is friendly strangers. Or friendly people in general. That's always nice.
Dislikes: Nah. Not much bothers Zane and not much gets him worked up. Some things do, obviously. Like wind. Wind is the worst. Gets his hair all mussed up. Also rain. It sounds nice but he hates getting wet. You know. Confrontation isn't great either. Conflict in general, really. Sometimes you gotta deal with that stuff though. Or whatever.
