A Tyrant's Undoing

Hey, y'all, sorry to do this but I'm gonna have to bow out. My life is getting unexpectedly busy and it wouldn't be fair to you all to keep going only to disappear later. I only made one post, so it shouldn't really affect the RP.

A Tyrant's Undoing

Alvina will definitely go with the princess's group (once she finds them), as that's where her primary motivation lies.

The College Life of Nonhumans

Amelia Cross

Name: Amelia Cross

Race: Half-human, quarter-Cambian, quarter-Djinn

Powers: Empathic--can sense strong emotions and manifest changes based on those emotions. Needs to feed on emotions for sustenance. None of the illusion powers of Cambians and relatively minor manifestation Djinn powers. Her powers fluctuate based on the intensity of the emotion the target is feeling, but they change reality (in the Djinn way) in order to resolve the emotions. They're as subtle as possible, and tend to shift the emotions of people around the target in order to shift the situation to resolve the emotions. Amelia usually has tight control over her powers, but when her guard is down (she's overwhelmed, tired, etc) or when the person's emotions are unusually profound, her powers can work without her knowledge or intent.

Year: Freshman

Degree: Psychology

Reason for wanting degree: Wants to be a therapist. Endless supply of emotions as well as the ability to help others deal with their emotions.

Hobbies/Clubs: Secretary of the gay/straight alliance. Plays back-room poker (using her powers to sense when people are bluffing). Tends bar to make ends meet.

Personality: Amelia is introverted, which makes her relationship with her powers and needs complicated. She's trying to reach out to people more, but she isn't great at it, partially because she doesn't always trust herself to open up safely (see bio). Because she's panromantic and asexual, relationships are doubly complicated. Amelia tends to be very grounded, as she has figured out how to keep her own emotions balanced and in check, but when she feels strong emotion, it often overpowers her judgment and perspective.

Bio: Amelia is the second person in her family to attend college. Her father--a half-human half-Djinn--graduated from East Coast University with a teaching degree and currently teaches high school English. Her mother--a half-human half-Cambian--is a high-class escort. Amelia was successful in school, mostly because her lack of connection with others gave her quite a bit of free time. Her only romantic partner, a girl she met in 11th grade, ended up having to spend time in a mental hospital because Amelia absorbed so much of her emotions at once (the first time they kissed). Since then, Amelia avoided strong emotional attachments.

A Tyrant's Undoing

Alvina was brushing her knight's horse when the stable-boy came running up.

"Have you heard?" he asked between gulps of air. "The princess killed the queen and fled the castle! The king has already stripped her of her title!"

Alvina's eyes widened. The princess, a murderer? It was impossible! Alvina's knight had trained the princess in combat, and she'd had no royal airs about her. She was the most authentic member of the nobility Alvina had ever met, and even less political than she was deceitful. No, there was absolutely no chance Tahra had done what they were saying. In fact, the king had probably killed his wife and blamed it on her! Alvina had never had a good feeling about the king.

"Does everyone believe that story?" Alvina asked.

"Obviously," the stable-boy said. "I mean, why would the princess run if she isn't guilty?"

Alvina rolled her eyes. The boy was a dolt. She gestured to the horse. "Okay, thanks. I gotta finish this up."

He looked confused. "Everyone's gathering in the square. The king is gonna make a speech. Finish it in the morning."

What the stable-boy didn't realize was that Alvina wouldn't be around by morning. She had already decided to go find the princess and help her. Nobody would listen if Alvina told them the princess was innocent, so there was no reason to stick around. Plus, it might give her an opportunity to prove herself.

"Fine," she said, stepping toward the boy. "Let's go."

The boy turned to leave, and Alvina slammed her fist into the back of his head. He dropped like a stone.

"Idiot," she said, throwing the saddle onto her knight's horse. By the time the boy woke up, Alvina would be long gone.

Alvina Itnos

Name: Alvina Itnos
Age: 24
Race: Human
Looks: Average height, slim build. Blue eyes, bright pink hair in a pixie cut. Soft features, but she almost always has a determined expression on her face.
Bio: Alvina is painfully ordinary. Even as one of the few female squires in Valstand, she is decidedly average. She does everything she can to stand out--studying day and night, having a mage friend dye her hair pink, working as hard as she can--but no one remembers her name. At most she is seen as "that squire with the pink hair." In addition, she has no aptitude for magic or combat. She has learned to do some basic charms--mostly prestidigitation--but she has been unable to improve past that point. She is proficient with martial arts, but not excellent at them, and she has no skills with weaponry.
Her inability to stand out has made Alvina constantly irritable. She always has anger boiling under the surface, and forgetting her name is the easiest way to draw said anger out. She's always comparing herself to others, even if those comparisons are unreasonable. Aside from her temper and her determination, Alvina is quite loyal, but because of her volatility, people rarely let her get close enough to form strong emotional connections.
