Quick question, Hero: is it possible for Kaz to wield her keyblade like Sora does in Wisdom From? So instead of hacking and slashing, she's running and gunning? She's more magically inclined, and I was thinking ranged combat suited her a lot more than melee.
If that's okay, then I'm nearly finished with mine! Just need my Trinity Limit and sample post.

"If nothing else works, then I'll build something that will!"
Name: Karissa (goes by Kaz)
Age: 15
Personality: In her hometown, jaunty and good-humored Kaz has risen from the ranks of lowbrow infamy and has become an official public menace, and rightly so. She's something of a mad genius (or so they call her), and she has been tinkering with and inventing things for as long as she can remember. Her innovations aren't always 100% infallible, and they are usually of the kaboom variety (that's where the public menace part comes in), but there's no denying her engineering prowess. Suffice it to say, Kaz is completely enamored with the ever evolving technology and the infinite ways its power can be harnessed. Being so passionate about her craft isn't always a good thing, however, and her ingenuity is definitely a double-edged sword.
On one hand, she is particularly brilliant. Her out-of-the-box way of thinking allows for unconventional but effective solutions to problems that may otherwise seem impossible. She looks at a situation with an open mind and adapts to it, relying on quick thinking and improvisation to get through it. Kaz may be distressingly clueless in all other areas (societal norms, politics, things that normal people consider common sense), but when it comes to machinery, nothing can beat her.
On the other hand, her single-minded fascination with technology oftentimes come to the detriment of everything else, especially her health. Kaz likes picking things apart to find out how they work and building them back up with major improvements and upgrades. She is prone to obsessing over new things (especially other world's shiny new technology) and will relentlessly pursue her current obsession until it is appropriately satiated. Once her curiosity is properly piqued and her switch is turned on, she can go for days on end without eating or sleeping, too absorbed in her work to worry about anything or anyone else. In the same light, she is willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish a goal she is set on. it's usually best to stay clear of her way when she gets like this.
When she's not busy being an engineer, Kaz can almost pass for a regular teenager (not really). She's excitable and goofy, amused by even the simplest things. It's her first time traveling between worlds, so expect her to ooh and aah at everything. There's very little that offends or perturbs her, and she is literally up for whatever shenanigans anyone is cooking up. She takes insults against her person very lightly, and although she fires back with snark, it's usually done with affection. Kaz is also not very conscious of danger; she dives headlong into any circumstance, especially even ones that are potentially life-threatening, just because she thinks it could be fun.
Long story short: for someone who's supposed to be smart, she actually does a lot of idiotic things.
Weapon:
Abilities:
- Scan: Using her goggles, which she fixed with an optical head-mounted display, Kaz can glean the target's basic information with a quick glance. It can also be used to further analyze a target by recording its movements and recognizing any discernible patterns. She might also be able to pinpoint an enemy's weakness, but that feature doesn't always work.
- Quick Run: Nimble and surefooted, Kaz is capable of fast maneuvers that allow her to bound across from place to place with utmost haste. She's not as physically strong as the others, and therefore relies mainly on quick and erratic movements to defeat her enemies.
- Sharpshooter: Using magical energy as ammunition, Kaz can fire projectiles with her Keyblade.
Magic:
- Fire
- Reflect
Destiny’s Oath: System Restore. A protective barrier engulfs Kaz in a last-ditch self-preservation effort, repelling any enemies in proximity and even vanquishing the weaker ones. Instead of merely reflecting attacks, the barrier absorbs any damage dealt against it and harnesses the energy that come from them. The collected energy is then transferred into Kaz, giving her a temporary boost and one last chance to finish off her enemies. The barrier is not indestructible and will shatter once it passes its threshold (which increases as Kaz gets stronger).

Sample Post:
When darkness fell, Kaz was at a loss.
Shadowy creatures with eerie glowing eyes appeared out of nowhere, from the holes in the sky and the ground, populating the sleepy town until they eventually outnumbered the citizens. She remembered being fascinated by them at first; too caught up in her curiosity, she didn't realize they were invading until it was too late. These creatures ran rampant, leaving destruction and a sheet of obstinate black in their wake, sparing nothing and no one. It took all of an hour for the town to be completely overrun; their meager police force, really just a group of untrained volunteers with a strong sense of justice, was unable to make a difference. One by one they disappeared, devoured by the darkness like all the others.
At one point, she was surrounded. She was the only one left in the now endless expanse of dark that used to be her town. None of her gadgets worked against the shadowy creatures, and for the first time in forever, she didn't know what to do. Crestfallen, she was very nearly giving up. Then it happened.
An anomaly.
When Kaz stirred, she tried to hold on to the last vestiges of her dream, to make sense of it. What were those creatures? Why did they attack? Did all of that really happen, or was her overactive imagination just running wild again? She reached for the anomaly that saved her—a strange weapon that materialized between her hands when she needed it most—but it was nowhere to be found. It was what saved her, giving her the chance to fight the creatures back. Kaz rubbed at the sore spot on the back of her head and finally opened her eyes, fully expecting to see nothing but black. Instead, she was greeted by the sight of two children whispering conspiratorially over her.
"Hey, do you think she's dead?"
One of them poked her on the side with a stick (a very sharp one!) and nudged her with a foot. "Uh-uh, I don't think so."
"Should we call mom?"
Without warning, Kaz bolted straight up, earning the frightened shrieks she was hoping for. After a short burst of laughter, she greeted the shaking children with a sheepish grin. "Hiya, my name's Kaz." She looked around the dark town, taking note of the unfamiliar cobblestones that paved the streets and the odd-looking buildings. A glance was enough for her to surmise that she was no longer in her world. Everything was a far cry from her modest hometown, which had nigh archaic buildings that still looked exactly like the ones from their history books. "I think I'm lost."
Yes! <3 I'm a big MCU fan, so I came in with high expectations. I wasn't disappointed at all.
Rocket and Groot were even better than I hoped.

As usual, Mackenzie awoke to her alarm clock blaring some 80s rock song she could never properly identify in her groggy state. Guns N' Roses? AC/DC? Probably one of them. Still half asleep as her feet dragged along the cold wooden floor, she moved through her morning routine mechanically. It was funny; she could never remember the first ten minutes she was awake, but somehow she managed to get things done. Anyway, a quick shower always helped get rid of the last vestiges of her sleepiness, so that was first on her routine.
Before she made her way to the bathroom, she took a detour to the balcony and peered outside, noticing all the bustling outside. It seemed the other tenants were up and about already, which she supposed made sense, considering it was almost noon. Kenzie usually woke up earlier, but last night saw her marathoning a bunch of Disney movies (she watched them in order for fun, but she skipped sequels) and she didn't finish until about four in the morning. She used to be conflicted every time she had an unproductive day and often wondered whether she was just wasting her life away, but she found that her answer was always 'hell no' so she stopped bothering.
Her shower only lasted three Little Mermaid songs (after the marathon, it seemed she would be stuck singing Disney songs all day), and she finished up with a grand rendition of "Under the Sea," complete with Jamaican accent. Right as noon hit, she was already dressed in denim short shorts and a pink crossback tank top to combat the day's sweltering heat, completely awake and ready to rock the day. Because she was in pretty good mood, she decided to forego her usual mask, though she did stuff it in her pockets just in case. So, Kenzie actually had no plans, but she thought she could go bother her fellow Oddballs. Maybe this was the day she could drag Andy out of his damn room and play with him, or get close enough to Kitty Cat for that piggyback ride she so desperately wanted to try.
"Morniiing, Stella!" she greeted loudly as she made her way to the kitchen. "Or, afternoon, I guess. So whatcha gonna do today?"
Kenzie grabbed a bowl from the cabinet and filled it with milk, stupidly amused that she finished the jug exactly on the day of its expiration. She then filled it to the brim with Froot Loops and stuck a spoon in her mouth. Instead of settling down at the dining room to eat, she dropped by her room to grab her guitar, currently in its case, and slung it across her back. She liked to bring around with her whenever she roamed the apartment, just in case she needed it (like in those musicals, she sort of hoped everyone in the apartment would just spontaneously burst into choreographed song and dance).
"Goin' to Lucy's," she called out, words muffled. Kenzie headed out to the balcony and expertly hopped across the railings without spilling a drop of milk. Then she climbed over her neighbor's balcony and rapped against the sliding door with her right foot.
"Hey, Princess, open up!" Kenzie liked to drop by and check on Lucy during the day, when she knew Cody was out working, because she hated the thought of anyone being alone, especially someone as young as Lucy. Thinking about it made her flashback to the olden days, back when foster family number eleven would leave her alone for hours on end, and it made her upset. And she didn't like being sadfaced. "Eat breakfast with me."

Added in room description and personality notes like Liri's for Kenzie, and I just finished her RS (she basically thinks she's friends with everyone). I'll get to working on that post soon. :D

Cat: [○|♦] "Kitty Cat is huuuge. Like, whoa, how do you fit through anything? He's also super scary, but what else can you expect from a giant who can kill you with his pinky toe? …I so wanna get a piggyback from him."
Dog: [♦] "CatDog, CatDog, alone in the world was a little CatDog~ ♪ Doggie is the first friend I made in Blackwing. He's so much nicer than Kitty Cat but less of a giant. I hang out with him a lot."
Erin Keller: [♦] "I wanna touch her leg. Is that rude? Anyway, she's hard to talk to, and she doesn't it like it when I stick close, but she is actually pretty cool. I like her eyepatch."
Alice White: [♦] "Meow meow! Hello Kitty's funny; sometimes I think she actually thinks she's a cat."
Amelia Perrault: [♦] "Someone with handwriting as crappy as mine! ♥ I love that girl. We get along pretty well, I think."
Estelle "Stella" Adams: [♦] "Holy crap, did you know Stella's blind?! I didn't until three weeks ago. She is awesome. I don't think she likes it when I get close to her, though. …OH! Do you think it's because she's blind? Like, she probably doesn't know that it's just me. Maybe I should try announcing before I get close?"
Mackenzie Cole: [♥] "I love me."

Kenzie's got ten years on the girl, but she plays and fights with her like she's eight. Her foster (number seventeen) siblings are around the same age, so she's actually quite fond of Lucy. Kenzie once spent a whole afternoon drawing and coloring with her.

@HyRo haha, yeah, that makes sense. 'kay then, changed Mackenzie's apartment to 1E. Is that cool, A?
Yay~ :D so which room will we be at?
I'm interested!. :)
Do I need to be caught up on the show, though? I think I'm behind two episodes.

Rooose! That was a yes on Stella/Mackenzie flatmateship (flatmateness?), right?
HylianRose said
Btw, are people actually going to share rooms or are they all going to live alone? I wouldn't mind Stella having a roommate/flatmate/etc.
Kenzie and Stella being roommates might be interesting. They both have that connection to music going on (Kenzie can play whatever Stella composes!), and it's probably not smart for someone monophobic to live alone anyway.
