OK! I'm back. Will be adding to the character soon and reading the IC tomorrow. Did I miss anything important (in the last week?)

Stardust Pilgrims

@Flamelord I like him!!

What is the hardest thing you've ever done?

@Darcs It's not an experience I usually hear being talked about! Oddly comforting to hear that someone else had other issues with food. What's funny is that pulling myself out of it when I started making progress wasn't actually so hard, it was being in the middle of it and being paralyzed that was shite...

Hope that you're doing better now, and if not I hope that you're doing passably and getting by. One way or another we find our ways into tomorrow!

@Hostile feels x infinity

@Lemonssure sure! I tend to err on "less is more" but I'll elaborate this evening

ᴘʀᴏᴊᴇᴄᴛ: _ɢᴇɴᴇsɪs

Here's my character! I gave her a brother as a potential plot thread. If anyone wants to play him, feel free. Would like feedback!

Also I plan to develop her character such that she eventually can somewhat control her ability.

Ronin

R o n i n O' R e a g a n

Hider

◤ _{N A M E} ◢

Cory “Ronin” O'Reagan

◤ _{A G E} ◢

21

◤ _{S E X} ◢

Female

◤ _{P E R S O N A L I T Y} ◢

She comes across as cool and aloof, but has a fierce love for cheap food and good company. She wears a chip on her shoulder, and often ends up distancing herself from people she would otherwise love to be friends with. Despite her tough loner act,
she's easily embarrassed and takes a liking to people quickly. Her biggest preoccupation is being 'in control' of her life, and anyone not in her 'in crowd' may say that she's bossy and self centered.

◤ _{B I O G R A P H I C A L I N F O R M A T I O N} ◢

Cory grew up in public housing, to a loving but drug addled family. Having no television or entertainment systems that other kids had, she spent most of her time roaming the streets and getting into trouble. 'Ronin' was a childhood nickname that her elder brother's friends gave her.

Her parents did the best they could for her, and she never went hungry, but she performed poorly in school and ultimately couldn't find a career for herself. Her parents could not continue to support her, so she went from shelter to shelter taking 'odd jobs' on her own.

◤ _{G E N E A B I L I T Y} ◢

Combustion. Whether it has to do with a spark or the concentration of oxygen, 'Ronin' doesn't know and doesn't care. Whenever her ability would manifest, she was just as likely to burn herself or set fire to a building than to do anything useful with it. Her power is at its strongest but with the least control when she's at all angry. Ideally, the fire she throws around follows her line of sight, but without any control it jumps from there to whatever nearest object it can feed upon.

◤ _{S K I L L S} ◢

She's streetsmart, and is familiar with avoiding police detection, being on the lam, and making money using unscrupulous means. Her body is athletic and fast, but not necessarily strong.

◤ _{O T H E R I N F O R M A T I O N} ◢

Though still unclear, her brother was likely kidnapped as well.

The Maze

@ineffable I can definitely think something up. I'll pm you what I come up with for the map. I know I have time now to coGM, but depending on whether I land another mural gig I probs won't shortly. Gonna start on the map tonight tho ;)

@Inkarnate looks really cool, the power seems really interesting.

I'm going to be making my sheet tomorrow

Woo!

@duskshine749 that's a cool idea too, I don't think I've played it that way before. Maybe we'd make a character premise first, and then get assigned them?

What is the hardest thing you've ever done?

The hardest thing I've ever done was probably university.

I've been depressed/suicidal for a long time, but university brought out the worst of it. I became too depressed to eat- and I mean that I just didn't have an appetite. Food was a chore. Textures and tastes were just too much information. A meal consisted of a glass of milk, and one potato was supper.

Eventually I got extremely sick, continuous running fever, and I just went through a very bad break up - no friends of family were anywhere closer than 8 hours away to help me. If I tried to get out of bed, my body would start to convulse. I was eating a single can of beans a day (75 cal). I remember when I finally kicked that bug, I had trouble getting into the shower, and my legs were probably... about six inches in diameter.

(When I realized how little I was eating, I became an A&W regular. This probably saved my life LOL)

Later, in a different downward spiral, I had acute exhaustion and was sleeping 16 hours a day (and still managed to pass the year and keep my job!) but it made me put myself on medication (secretly, because my parents didn't support it at the time). Good thing, because later on a student in my class jumped off a bridge and died, and a first year in my program was found hanging in her room after three days of being missing (ripe).

And yet somehow, I still have mostly good memories of univerity. I think that's no easy feat!
