A hopeless romantic with an overpowering logical streak, she's broken more than a few hearts in her life, both boys and girls.

Oakenheim (Modern Supernatural RP)

Name: Mary Janicot Gender: Female Age: 17 Personality: While not quite a wallflower, Mary is generally a quiet and calm individual. The emotions she shows are resigned, her smiles are slight, and her frowns more just shrugs than anything. Over the years she has become the type of student that sits in the back of the class and listens to music, when she socializes, she tends to blend in to the group, only really talking to those that can keep her interested. Most of her personal relationships fail because of this. People who spend enough time around her say that, at times, she can seem a little 'off' or 'depressed,' in reality; Mary's building apathy toward life stems from her perceived lack of control over the events in her life. With a sarcastic sense of humor and a penchant for listening to music over conversation. She might make seem standoffish to any passerby. Mary does seek companionship, just on her own terms. If one can't interest her, then she shrugs and cuts her losses; if they can, however, they'll receive a talkative friend, a stereotypical slacker, obsessed with obscure bands, drugs, flowers, and death. Appearance: Mary stands tall at 5'7'' with an average, if not slightly well rounded, figure. She has short black hair framing kind brown eyes and a light olive complexion. Her expressions tend to remain neutral, with her most powerful smile being a slight smirk. Her outfits tend to be basic and earth colored, either a dark tank-top or a T-shirt and skinny jeans or a skirt. She is rarely seen without her ear buds or headphones.

Reference

Tether: Mary believes she is a 'natural,' having seen the weird inner-workings of the universe most people can't perceive for as long as she can remember. While in the regard that she was born with it, she isn't wrong, technically, Mary doesn't naturally have the ability. Mary's mother, Diana, was touched by a gestalt Wicca entity, the 'Mother Goddess' and her father, who left before she was born, was likewise touched by the Mother Goddess' equal and opposite entity, the 'Horned God.' Mary's body serves as a battleground of sorts for these two spiritual entities, each invading her body, and influencing events in her life. The Mother Goddess and the Horned God, ironically, both influencing her life allows Mary to maintain sentience and autonomy of her own actions, but the conditions around her, within their control, are constantly shifting. Over the years this has turned Mary into a woman who feels content to just glide through life, unaware that while she does, two syncretic spiritual deities are vying for her soul. Ability: None. (May develop later) Talents:

• Sketching: Years spent drawing the flowers growing in the Oakenheim Cemetery have given Mary a talent for drawing quick, accurate sketches.
• Knowledge of psychoactive botany and mycology: Although not a professional botanist or mycologist, Mary has researched and has a working knowledge of the psychoactive flora of Oakenheim.
• Artistic Echoic Memory: As opposed to photographic memory, Mary, over the years, has developed a talent for remembering and replaying soundbytes in her head. While she only tends to use this for listening to music without her headphones, theoretically, she could use this type of memory to recall gossip and small bits of information heard.

Recent history: Diana Janicot settled into Oakenheim soon after Mary was born, figuring it would be the perfect small town for a single mother to raise a child. That child, of course, was Mary. She was never sad or particularly traumatized, it just seemed that for Mary, each year of her life dimmed her enthusiasm, but only slightly. She always enjoyed music and nature's beauty, and as she grew older, these two things became constants in her life. While not in school the young girl would often find herself in the Oakenheim Cemetery, enjoying the quiet of the place, as well as it's flowers. As she grew the Oakenheim Cemetery would become her favorite place to hang out, it felt like the only place in the world she held some semblance of control. When she entered high school Mary began following local Oakenheim acts around as a groupie, often finding herself in relationships with women much older than her. This is also how she began her recreational drug use, in her own words, it; "keeps those dreams away." As opposed to finding a dealer, Mary began devoting her free time to studying psychoactive flora, her hobby has given her a few close brushes with the law.

Having moved around so much, you'd be in a unique position to know exactly the type of locale that would suit you best, which is an advantage not everybody gets, so that's neat. Also, good pre/after/late/noon everybody.

Your Political Ideology

I don't believe in egalitarianism, hierarchy is natural because almost every mammal species does it and it is quite clear that humans had a social order long before the dawn of civilization. I also think democracy is overrated and is idealistic and almost always leads to chaos and fascism. I am pro-government and would rather have a diverse authoritarian or monarchy style government.

@The Patriarch

Seems like that'd be the case until that authoritarian government did something you didn't like.

For me the real reason our politics suck is because we allow emotional bitches rule our political debates and have emotional tantrums when things don't go their way. I hate liberals and view them as the new crusaders because of their idiotic self righteousness, but I also don't like ultra conservatives because of their ridiculous political strategies.

@The Patriarch

I don't know-- I feel like a lot of the problem stems from private organizations using the government as tools to wage war on countries that have resources they want. But either way, isn't generalizing a group and calling them 'emotional bitches' just as emotional?

In a way I am a supporter of Plato's philosopher kings ruling the state, I believe that the philosophical minded should rule and not the masses, the people are too selfish to run a country.

@The Patriarch

Believe it or not, I don't think anything is completely infallible, but I'd rather trust all of us to do what's best for all of us than a single person.

I also hate feminazis with a burning passion

I will be watching this thread. What are the chances of this becoming un-closed at some point?

Oakenheim (Character driven modern supernatural RP?)

Oakenheim will be a rather out of the way town surrounded by a forest

@Piercing Light

I bet the coffee is damn fine. And hot too!

Oakenheim (Character driven modern supernatural RP?)

This seems rad. Also, Maine is an interesting choice for a setting, it wouldn't happen to related to Lovecraft would it?

Choice of Romance AU?

Andreemea: New Tomorrows

SHE'S ALIIIIVE! You could've let us know that you needed a break >_>

@Lalliman

Eh heh heh... I remember posting about not having anything to do with Kuckoo, and I guess I figured that to mean she'd fade in to the background for the rest of the chapter-- Although I didn't specify the family emergency, which I totally should have, for that I apologize.

But i suppose you're welcome to rejoin. Are you up to date?

@Lalliman

Yes I am! (No, not even slightly...)

Andreemea: New Tomorrows

Hey guys! I was only pretending to be dead!
