Knight of Doom

The Wonderland-Virus

It didn’t take long before Nick was approached by a purple haired girl who looked a bit younger than himself. She had unmistakable purplish blue hair that instantly made him think it was fake, and a cane making it obvious that she was blind. Looking behind her, he saw a similar looking male a ways back looking over in their direction. Turning his attention back to the girl in front of him, the redhead finally realized she was speaking to him.

"Excuse me? But if someone were to offer you an invitation to a party on the night before a final, what would you do?" It seemed like a silly question. There was only one clear answer.

“I’d have to politely decline. As much as I enjoy spending time with others, school and studying come first.” Nick sighed. Just the thought of finals bogged his spirit down. Not the spirit in his head, of course, he meant his internal… nevermind. But this situation seemed a bit weird, why was a random stranger asking him such an obvious question. “Why? Is there a reason to this question?”

In all honesty he was a bit freaked out, but then again the voice in his head wasn’t exactly to be expected either. This day was weird, but Nick could handle weird. It’s insane he had a difficult time dealing with. Something that was nonsensical always had to have an answer, even if it was just an emotional response. When something didn’t have an an answer, now that’s when things started to get out of hand.

I assume our next post will be a collaboration. Hit me up with whatever you use to collab.

The Wonderland-Virus

Do you perhaps know Alice?

“I know of an Alice,” Nick suggested to this weird voice inside his head. Honestly, at this point he should schedule an appointment with a counselor, or a psychiatrist.

No, No, NO! The voice sounded angry at this point. Not THAT Alice, THE Alice!

“I can't believe I'm asking this, but who are you?” Nick at this point had grabbed a beer his roommate always seemed to have stocked in the mini fridge.

I'm known as The Hatter, some call me The Mad Hatter. I don't know why, I could be even madder, but perhaps I’m more mad than less mad? Ah, by mad I mean mad, mind you, not ‘mad’. The Queen of Hearts on the other hand, now she's usually the mad I'm not. Speak of the devil. I need you to find Alice before the Queen of Hearts gets to her. Alice CAN NOT be killed under any circumstances.

”Okay?” Nick said, kind of getting an idea of what was going on. He took a long drink of the bottle before setting it down.

I would recommend not drinking that strange tea too much. I can feel the wooziness from here, and under such unstable mental circumstances my inherent magic could kick in. According to your mind, you probably wouldn't like the effects. But that's not particularly my problem until it is my problem in which case I should have listened to you listen to me. Nonetheless, onward! To comrades and enemies!

”So, I guess I'm going out?” The gold eyed male half asked, half stated. He enjoyed adventures for the most part, so while the situation was strange he wasn’t about to turn this opportunity down. The only response he got was a strange song of going off the edge into execution and destiny. He could only hope that his fate wasn't anything like the song.

After a solid half hour of meandering around the campus, Nick found himself at a small park in the nearby town. Even though he was just walking, he'd get tired eventually. The only leads he had to wherever he was going was the occasional quip from his insane mind spirit. Which weren't usually too helpful. He was so close to just turning around and going back to his dorm to finish that beer.

KnightofDoom's Characters

Name
Tara Groth

Birthday
February 26, 1997

Age
18

Appearance

Height: 5’6”
Weight: 122 lbs
Her eyes are actually red. The doctors don't exactly agree on why, but it's never really caused an issue. Either people think it's cool or they call her a demon and get their teeth bashed in.

Position
Best Friend of Riley and Kylie, Apartment 1A

Secret
If I told you, it wouldn't be a secret ;)

School
Millington University
Major: Business (Not 100% on the specifics)

Occupation
Tara works the late night shift at a fast food joint.

Personality
Tara was a bit of a tomboy as a younger kid, and still keeps that more rough and tough front to most. She’s fairly violent, especially when someone embarrasses her. She is physically fit from spending her weekends flitting around from sport to sport. However, those who know her know that she's pretty protective towards her friends. If someone ever crosses her, she is willing to beat them within an inch of their life. On the other side, she’s a sucker for romance. Almost any sappy romance move would have her blushing like a mess. When it comes to anything, Tara hates losing. She doesn’t really take it well, but it's more entertaining than annoying to others when she loses. She's pretty smart in school, however nowhere near the point where people start offering her scholarships left and right. Tara has some difficulty being honest about her feelings. However, some things are blatantly obvious in her behaviour and body language.

Tara can do a little parkour from watching Rye. Dungeons and dragons? LARP? She's all over that, she loves being creative.

However, there are time where Tara doesn’t mind sitting around and not socializing with Kylie during parties and such. When crowds are overwhelming, Tara tends to stay more quite and hang out with her less social best friend. When dealing with requests and demands, she can be a bit annoying and reluctant about it, but she'd do whatever for the most part.

Short Bio
Tara’s house is fairly poor. They sometimes struggle to make ends meet because her mom doesn’t have a very high education. Tara was born out of wedlock, and her dad didn’t want to take responsibility. Her elementary school was of low quality, but in middle school she was able to get into a better school system. It’s where she met the twins, Riley and Kylie. They became best friend rather quickly. She was an "honorary" member of "The Woman's Appreciation Club" that Rye created mostly so that she could tease the boys about the club. However, she still follows them around and occasionally foiled their plans. She now goes to the Millington University because it was the cheapest and even then, she works a lot in order to pay for everything.

Amaya Tsukino

Age: 20

Height: 5'3"

Weight: 118 lbs

Likes: Writing, Singing, Music, Nature, Sleep, Animals, Taekwondo/Martial Arts, Silence, Rain, Thunderstorms, Night, and Books.

Dislikes: Mornings, Needles, Heights, Pain, Enclosed Spaces, Sports, and Being Bored.

Party Trick: Amaya knows many martial arts tricks and can break boards.

Profession: Amaya is a student at Shine City Academy. She is majoring in Biomedical Engineering, and minoring in Psychology. She also works part time as a waitress at a fancy traditional Japanese restaurant called the Tiny Snowflake located in Shine Junction.

Amaya's Work Uniform

Bio/Personality: Amaya grew up with two extremely busy parents as an only child. Her mother and father owned a consulting company together, so she had a lot of money growing up. She originally started taekwondo because she was alone a lot, and her parents worried about her well being. Eventually she grew to love it and started taking many other forms of martial arts. When Amaya went into college, she wanted to go away from her home and be more adventurous, but she still wanted to live in a larger city, which is why she choose Shine City Academy. She lives in the dorms on campus to get the full college experience (plus she didn't know anyone going into the academy Freshman year). Amaya didn't want to rely on her parent's money, so she got a part time job, which she absolutely loves. Amaya decided to work there because she enjoys traditional Japanese culture and also she thought the uniforms were very pretty on her (not that she'd admit that to anyone). The pay is enough to get her by, with a bit to spare on a good day.

Amaya is a quiet person, especially with strangers. She sometimes gets social anxiety because she's not used to interacting with others. Amaya is very good at handling small children, although she doesn't really like to spend time with them. Once one gets to know Amaya, she can be very kind and gentle. She cares a lot for what little friends she has. She can be silly at times and enjoys laughing with others. However, she does have a limit. If you ever get on her nerves or are rude to her, she is terrifying. Since she is well trained in martial arts, she isn't afraid to hurt others. Especially if you hurt her friends. Amaya finds the way others think interesting. She's also a great listener, but has trouble comforting. Not that she doesn't try her best in doing so. Amaya also has pocrescophobia, or the fear of gaining weight. She has never told anyone this. And while she isn't anorexic or bulimic, she is a health nut. So she works out regularly, and does her best to eat healthy foods. She also makes sure to never measure her weight. While it isn't severe, it still affects her from time to time.

KnightofDoom's Characters

Name:
Nicholas “Nick” Hawthorne

Age:
21

Gender:
Male

Hider

The Mad Hatter

Bio:
As a kid, Nick’s early life was fairly average. His parents both worked at a well paying job, and they both loved him and were there for him. Plus he had a cute younger sister who was 4 years younger than him. However, once Nick turned 11, his father won the lottery. At first everyone was excited, but eventually the money started creating rifts between his family. Nick’s parents eventually got a divorce over the money and have been arguing since then. Nick was forced to take care of his younger sister, and make sure she got everything she needed since their parents were too busy arguing. Nick was very academically well off, however, he chose to stay at a community college rather than go off to a prestigious college. This was so that he could keep an eye on his younger sister.

Personality:
Charming, independent, energetic and compassionate

Spirit:
The Mad Hatter

Abilities:
Nick will randomly switch personalities. He’s not quite sure if anything sets it off quite yet, but his personality goes from normal to insane. He’ll start spouting nonsense, and see things that isn’t actually there. His eyes will change color during this insanity spurt.

What Nick looks like when he goes off the deep end

KnightofDoom's Characters

Zora Irving

Age:
17

Allegiance:
Neutral

History (Optional):
Living off nature and all that jazz. Where are her parents? Nobody knows.

Personality:
Zora is hardworking and curious. There are times where she pushes herself too far and needs to be reminded to take a break. She is fairly harsh when it comes to training and learning. When Zora has a task to do, she'll see it through to the end. While she finds it difficult to relate to other humans, she tries her best to get along with them. On the other hand, Zora feels more at ease with the animals, and tends to feel more of an emotional bond with animals than she does with humans. When she makes friends, she has a tendency to tease them in a very friendly manner. Zora loves being in nature, separated from all man made structures. She is most comfortable here and tends to be very gentle and kind in this environment. She is looked up to by many of her fellow classmates at the academy, however she’s very insecure and self conscious around others. She comes off as humble to most, when it’s actually a sense of self deprecation driving her words. Zora believes that when placed among the beauty and grace that is nature, she cannot compare, though she does try.

Tome (Color and Abilities):
Zora’s Tome takes the form of a intricate wooden bow with a few green ribbons of silk wrapped around the ends. When she draws the string back, a brown arrow that is seemingly made out of light appears notched in the bow.

Tome

A part of Zora’s abilities is to have an empathic link with animals. The can communicate with them, but has no control over them. Every animal has it’s own free will to accept her requests or not. Therefore she makes it a point to get on good terms with the animals surrounding wherever she may be.

The second part of Zora’s abilities is rarely used, and for a very valid reason too. She can transform parts of her body to have similar traits to animals which can improve a function, such as claws, fangs, or ears. However, once she is done with it, Zora must remove the part from her body. If she had claws, she’d have to cut off her fingers, with fang’s she’d have to rip them out, and with ears, cut them off. Because of her low pain tolerance, she usually ends up passing out for about a full day. While she is out, her body regenerates the natural state of the body part. Once she wakes up, the body part is fully regenerated. Usually the smaller the body part the less time Zora is passed out/regenerating. If she does not within 12 hours, then the particular transformation begins to cause pain to her. Over a course of 24 hours, the pain continues and usually a headache develops. During these hours, the transformation rots off until it disappears. It then takes the time to regenerate which varies depending on the size.

Sorry, but I'm going to drop. I'm just not as interested as I was before. Thanks for having me though.

The Wonderland-Virus

I changed the color of my character's dialog just to clear everything up.

Edit: I also added a tiny bit to Nick's ability, it's not much but it could make a big difference in the long run.

That shall be Tara's nickname for Riley. There's a great story behind it I swear!
