By the way Arry, I left John Smith out in the open like that so one (or more) of your characters could meet him.

~John Smith~
"I am John Smith. John Smith is my name. I must be John Smith, for the Good Of Our World. John Smith will prevent Evil from falling upon our Universe," 'John Smith' chanted to himself as he flitted over the campus grounds, half a meter off the surface. He remembered the Divine Signs that had been given to him by the Grand Unified World God of Everything. Black hair, amethyst eyes... Not that he would need the Signs. Not really. As soon as he lay eyes on her, nay, as soon as he felt her presence approaching, he would know. No need for signs, although he would never dare shun the gifts of the One True Grand Unified World God of Everything. But One so gifted as Wel-- one so gifted as John Smith would sense the presence of the Chosen One long before his eyes confirmed the Signs. John Smith did not need to see to believe.
John Smith hit his head and fell to the ground. "What--" John Smith brushed himself off. Clearly the Grand Unified World God of Everything had meant him to hit his head. The very idea that he should have been watching where he was going, rather than believing he would be led along the right path, was absurd, and John Smith quickly dismissed it. Opening his eyes, he saw a tree. Clearly a Blessed Tree indeed, to have been so fortunate as to come into contact with the Divine Prophet Seer "John Smith". He made a strange gesture around the part of the tree that had hit him, which was totally a Spell of Divine Protection and Ultimate Caring and not a vague, random movement he had made up on the spot. Well, whatever. Spells could be made up on the spot, if the caster was gifted enough. And John Smith was extraordinarily gifted, as the Divine Prophet Seer and Harbinger of Ultimate Destruction And/Or Salvation.
John Smith backed away from the Tree, surveying his work. The Tree blossomed brighter than before, with a more... idiosyncratic quality. Because John Smith absolutely knew the meaning of the word "idiosyncratic". Of course he did. He could even read its meaning on the Grand Tapestry of Life, the Universe, and Everything. It meant... um...
He concentrated.
Hard.
Eureka!
It meant "forty-two-esque". The Blessed Tree would bear forty-two times more fruit this year!
Content that his Blessing on the Idiosyncratic Tree was both beautiful and meaningful, John Smith resumed his not-at-all-random roaming over the campus, his wondrous white hair flowing behind him.
Pearl Cloud Candy
"Oh!~~" exclaimed Pearl as she fell on her dainty rump. She blushed bright red and remained where she had fallen, devastated as she was to have harmed a fellow student and potential friend.
"Oh!~~" she exclaimed again as Snuggles scampered off. She had let go of him when she fell. Poor baby!! She hoped he would be okay all be himself on this big campus!! Tears started to well in her eyes, until she accidentally looked up-- and noticed that senpai was offering her a hand!!! Cloud's eyes widened, and a shy but enormous smile crept onto her face. She took the girl's hand and jumped up, excited to meet the super nice girl. Her pale blue hair fluttered around her as she bounced up and down eagerly.
"M-My name is Pearl Cloud Candy," she said, half-shyly, half-proudly. "You can call me Cloud. Or Pearl. Whatever you want! <3 Would you like to be my friend?" she inquired. She really really really really hoped the girl would say yes. And oh, was that a panda poking out of her backpack? Kawaiiiii~~! <3 <3 She waved discreetly at the adorable little animal.
Here's another character :3
(I'll post for Pearl Cloud Candy tomorrow.) (And this guy too, if I figure out his "chosen one" by then.)
@RomanAria
Can he latch onto one of your characters? I was thinking either the Diva or the Tough Nut. The Diva, I suppose, would like the attention but would be averse to actually having to lift a finger, even to save the world. Tough Nut would work too. Lemme know what you think :3

Did our characters actually send in RSVPs, or did the Achesons' people just "investigate" the guests to find out who their companions would be?

Erica pulled her small red car into the marina's parking lot. She turned towards her friend Denn, who let out a yawn and a stretch. He turned to her too, looking bored and tired from the long drive, and Erica got out of the car. She stood next to her closed car door and smoothed her jacket while Denn took his time getting out. When she finally saw him emerge, she started to walk towards the party.
Denn matched stride with his friend. He checked his phone as he walked. "8:10... Looks like we're right on time," he commented. Rica didn't answer, of course. Good thing he hadn't been expecting her to. As they approached the docks, Denn heard some music coming from a boat on the water. The tune was familiar, but he didn't recognize the singer. Probably something he'd heard on the radio without really paying attention. Erica, on the other hand, recognized Jennings Taylor. She liked his music well enough, even if she wasn't particularly a fan of his. She thought she remembered hearing something about a tour in Europe, but she didn't really follow celebrity news. It must have been some other singer who'd gone to Europe.
Erica walked past a man who greeted her, and she nodded in response. Denn flashed a smile at him when he heard his name. Erica wondered how the man knew Denn's name, since there had been no RSVPs, and her name was the only one on the invitation.
Denn looked around, aware of how high society everyone seemed, hoping nobody would notice how cheap his suit was. Luckily for him, Erica was the one attracting all the glances -- her manly dress style prompted some curious looks. She didn't mind. She ignored the looks. She followed Denn as he noticed the bar and promptly bee-lined to it. She wondered if drinks were free. She didn't usually drink, but Denn did.
Approaching the bar, Denn and Erica both noticed a small gathering of people close to their age. Another woman and a girl who was probably her daughter had just joined the group. After ordering a drink -- they were indeed free -- Denn sauntered over to them.
"Hi everybody! Isn't this a nice bar? I'm Alden Taverner, but feel free to call me Denn." He turned around and ushered Rica, who was lingering one step behind him, into the circle. "This here is my friend Rica Allie. Just friends, mind you," he winked at nobody in particular.
Erica wondered if she should correct him about her name. She didn't really feel like saying anything. "I am Erica.", she interjected anyway, which earned her a surprised glance from Denn. Better to set them straight now than later. Leaving Denn to continue the conversation, she stepped back again. She smiled sympathetically at the girl in the pretty light blue dress, who looked kind of stiff, like she had to force herself to look like she was enjoying the party. Erica understood the sentiment, even though she did not share it. It was actually shaping out to be a pleasant evening. Such a pretty little town, and so many new faces to take in.

Sorry, busy week. I'm working on my post now! :)
Pearl Cloud Candy looked out the window at the sky, which had just turned grey. "Look at that," she exclaimed excitedly to her puppy, "the sky is all gloomy! That means more people will stay inside, which means more people for me to meet!!!" Snuggles just cocked his head at her. Cloud laughed out loud and swung him in a circle around her head. "Let's go for a walk!" She peeked out the door of her dorm room with a huge smile on her face. Which way would she go? This was so exciting! Taking a walk down the hallways was going to be such an adventure! Visions of meeting new, exciting, mysterious, interesting people filled her mind and clouded her vision with a cotton candy overlay.
She came to her senses after a few moments and realized she was still standing in her room, with just her head poking out into the doorway. "Which way, Mr. Snuggles?" she whispered to her puppy. He was facing left, so she strode out confidently in that direction. She waved at everyone she passed by, a huge grin never leaving her face. Waving was kind of hard because she was hugging her puppy with both of her arms, but she didn't mind!
She caught sight of a poster she hadn't seen before on the wall, and ran up to it. "Oooooh," she trilled, "an election!!!!" How exciting! Who did she know who might make President? "Well, I don't know very many people," she muttered to herself. "I just got here." An idea came to her, and her face brightened. "I know! I need to make friends with everyone as quickly as possible, so that whoever is President will be my friend!!!!!" She stood in front of the pretty poster, grasping her puppy, imagining how nice it would be to be friends with everyone in the whole entire school.

Your link doesn't point directly to a picture, that's why it doesn't work.
Try this between the img tags (assuming you wanted the first picture on that page): myfashiony.com/wp-content/uploads/2014..
(It appears I can't type a URL without it being parsed into a link, even with the "noparse" tag. I guess you'll have to click on it and get the full link from your address bar.)
In general, right-click on the image and select "Copy image URL" to get a direct link to an image (it'll go to your clipboard, so you can paste it somewhere).

Oh, whoops! I guess I forgot what your character was like when I was creating mine. It looks like yours might be more prone to rushing out to save the world or whatever, while mine is gonna hang back and cry until something directly threatens her friends.
Our characters could be bestest friends 4lyfe, and then the ~*~*~Magical Friendship Protection~*~*~ would just keep getting stronger and stronger 4evar~~~~!!!! :D <3 :D <3 :D <3 :D
