Rajvi Bapodra

"Suck it! Get destroyed, motherfuckers!"

Rajvi stood at her desk with her chair shoved behind her, thin sheen of sweat covering her body as she mashed her keyboard rapidly. A tense grin was spread across her face. After another few seconds, she stood up, arms pumped. The tense grin exploded into a gunpowder smile and she let loose an exultant laugh. "Hell yeah!"

Picking up her discarded microphone from the ground, she held down the PTT button and shouted a few choice triumphant obscenities into it.

We get it, Bardcore! You won! Jesus...

"You fucking know it!"

She stood up fully and stretched, yawning as she checked the time. Wow, it's getting pretty late...I should order dinner. Picking up her phone, she punched in the number of a particularly prompt restaurant in town. After a few rings, someone picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hey, J-Jack," she stuttered, flipping back to the nervous wreck she usually was as soon as she spoke to a person not separated by the endless gulf of WiFi and screen names.p

"Oh, hey, Rajvi. Sorry, no order out tonight. Night of the winter ball, so everyone's staffed up and delivering to Central Point. If you want food, you gotta come grab it yourself."

With a click, the phone went dead. She looked at it for a moment, wide-eyed, before taking a sudden deep breath and breaking out into cold sweat. She crept up to the window, looking outside of her apartment at the snowy night below and shuddering in a way that had nothing to do with cold. I have to have something in the pantry, right? No such luck. She was out of food. And that meant...I have to go outside.

Ten minutes later, she edged out of the door of her apartment building, bundled up in a thick parka. She released a surprised sneeze as a snowflake landed directly on her nose, but otherwise was closed in and quiet as she could be. She began the walk down to Central Point, already beginning to dread the heavy crowds. Sol Silverside, a small, quiet seafood restaurant and her typical eatery, was closed for the festival, so Point it was. It was colder than she was used to; then again, she hadn't left her apartment since mid-June. She shivered as she walked, squinting against the brilliant Christmas lights that has been strung up over the city.

Luckily, she didn't live too far from the city center. As she approached, a sudden press of people assaulted her, leaving her terrified. Come on, Rajvi. You can do it!

At that exact moment, she was bumped into by a large, burly man who shot her a venomous glare. With a terrified squeak, she skittered away, trying her best to make it through the loud, close crowd. Her head was pounding. As she broke away, she popped out, only to find herself running slap-bang into a petite young lady with bizarrely white hair and a very large, very intimidating man. She panicked, only barely managing to stop herself from falling over and scrambling to retain her footing.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry," she rambled hysterically, "I wasn't looking where I was going and then I ran into you and I bet I hurt you and you probably hate me now!" It was quite evident that she was close to tears as she backed away like a deer in the headlights, just about ready to bolt again.

Name: Rajvi Bapodra
Age: 27
Appearance:
Height: 5'5".
Weight: 134 lbs.
Likes: Traditional Indian food, peace and quiet, video games, a job well done.
Dislikes: Stepping outside, "fake" Indian food, people who try to tell her that they know better.
Zodiac Sign: Sagittarius
Special Talent: A near-encyclopedic knowledge of computers and how they work.
Profession: Rajvi is a freelance programmer working from home.
Bio/Personality: Born and raised in Sol City, Rajvi had expectations heaped upon her from the day she first went to school. Her parents, two relatively poor Indian immigrants, wanted her to succeed, and in the pursuit of that, they pushed her. They pushed her hard. From the moment she could string together two sentences, she was expected to work. Her math studies were helping to balance her family's finances. Her studies in English were schoolwork during the summer, courses that were designed for children far older than she was. She muddled her way through it, and inevitably, the hard work made her smarter than most of her classmates. She was performing algebra and reading Shakespeare in fifth grade.

Of course, there was an impressive impact on her social life. That is to say, it was pretty much nonexistence. While she was academically smarter than most of her peers, she was immature and incredibly timid, as her interaction with others her age had been limited to school. Even then, it was much reduced, as she was placed in accelerated classes, and often with older students. Home wasn't much better; the money to send Rajvi to all the programs she attended didn't come from thin air, and there were days that she never saw her parents at all because of their incredibly rigorous work schedules. Eventually, all that education paid off. Despite her total lack of social skills, she was incredibly intelligent. She got into Solaris University on scholarships and need-based financial aid, and some years later, graduated with honors as a computer science and information technology double major.

During her time in college, she discovered what became her greatest obstacle towards graduation: video gaming. Before long, she became absolutely addicted to them. Her grades dropped, and her professors had a long talk with her that ended her video gaming habits. Once she graduated, though, there were no such wardens. She once again became embroiled in online gaming. While she'd matured and could balance them with her office job, they slowly began to take a toll on her still-awful social skills. She began to withdraw from co-workers and acquaintances, eventually quitting her job altogether and locking herself in her apartment, doing independent work over the internet for whatever clients might need a computer wizard.

That's the current state of affairs. Her social skills are atrocious: she has an intense stutter and a nervous habit of gnawing on her cuticles. She speaks very quietly--when she speaks at all--and rarely says more than a few words at a time. She's very timid, and terrified of disappointing people. When she does, or when people get upset with her for any reason, she withdraws into a terrified squeaking shell. She had borderline agoraphobia. It's worth mentioning that she is a devout Hindu, and even when on a gaming jag--during which she becomes particularly loud and foul-mouthed--she'll set aside an hour every day for worship.

The following is not required, but we strongly encourage you to at least put a little something. In the past we have found that when players get to know each other as real people, not just as names on a screen, it helps the longevity of the game. Seriously, please get to know your fellow players.

Tell us about yourself:

*Your age: 19
*What part of the world are you from? I'm from Philadelphia, on the East Coast of the USA.
*How many years have you been writing/roleplaying: Wow, um...I've been writing for fun as long as I can remember, and role-playing for what...ten years now? I started when I was nine, if I recall properly. Started pretty atrocious, but got better.
*How often do you have time to post? (this is just a general, honest question, no judgment) Every day up till every week, depending on workload, post length, and motivation.
*Anything else you want to mention? What you do for a living? How much do you work a week? What do you enjoy doing besides writing? I am what happens when citrus collides.
