Aramay Academy~! ( School Role play )

Under normal circumstances I'd gladly play a Werewolf/Neko Wolf/whatever the heck this species you want is, especially since you still seem to need one, but I'm not sure exactly what you want from that character, and I've never liked running anyway. So human it is.

First Name: Riley

Last Name: Masin

Gender: Male [✓] Female [ ]

School Age: 16 -- Ha ha, yeah, all of these ages are SO original~

Appearance:


Race: Neko Wolf [ ] Neko Kitten [ ] Vampire [ ] Human [✓] (Hunter? yes [ ] or no [✓])

Weapon: None, really, but is pretty handy with a camera and a silver cross, which he tries to keep on him.

Bio/Background story: Riley's always been into roleplaying and MMORPG games. He plays a lot of them online, loving to personalize his character and preferring the help of the website to keep track of his stats, position, and rolls over playing real-life ones with mats, dice, and a lot of paper. He's currently playing one called BloodQuest, where the goal is to eliminate the world of werewolves, and you can play either a human or a vampire, with different strengths depending on time, armor, and place. He has both a female vampire character named Anastasia and a male human based off of him, named Driley. Thanks to all his gaming, he knows a lot about fantasy creatures, but doesn't have many friends. But that's okay. He has his J-pop, the LeetStreet Boys, and Paramore. He's almost never seen without his headphones and music player, and don't forget the silver chain on his jeans. Not that many people really pay attention.

His parents divorced about two years back, and around that time was when he ran away from his problems through his PC, which he updated and personalized to run various games. He spent most of his time inside, his father moved away, and his mother went back to college. He didn't notice any of this, though, too absorbed he was in his games. When he finally looked up after reaching level 100, his mother was hardly home and he had to go back to high school.

Despite all this, he's a pretty cheerful kid, and tries his hardest to make friends, even if everyone thinks he's "that weird nerd with no parents". His teachers like him, so he has their support at least. He hasn't had any experience with romance except through BloodQuest, and that was with a boy and a girl, so he's kind of confused about that. He also has a vivid imagination, though verging on the point of paranoid. He thinks there are werewolves and vampires everywhere. And he's about to find out he's right... (Muaha dramatic transition into the roleplay plot.)

Boboooooooo

Parallel Voyagers

I think it's already back. I've been following it by habit because you two always post about the same time.

Parallel Voyagers

Well that escalated quickly.

I peaked around the bookshelf; it looked like the cop had just glanced around and left. The other police chick was talking to me again; I hadn't exactly talked to many girls, there weren't many female soldiers or scientists at the base for some reason. "Apparently I have 'illegal bodymods'. So I'm already a wanted criminal here." Joy. "Did the first thing I could think of to distract him and get away, which in this case was telling him he was having a dream. I guess that didn't work."

I went over to look at the books Axeka was carefully selecting and grabbed one at random, flipping to the table of contents. "I heard something interesting on the radio, though. America -- this country, 'case you're from somewhere way out there -- may go to war with China -- another country -- soon. There have been demonstrations trying to convince the government to do so. Also, it doesn't look like this world has nuclear bombs. Could be interesting." The book didn't appear to contain much I didn't learn in school, but I noticed the Cold War was missing and everything sort of dropped off from the usual after World War I. "Anyway, I'm Ken. Nice to meet you, I suppose."

I dropped the book back on her little stack and grinned when suddenly the wall exploded behind us, Asian-looking soldiers busting their way in. They immediately began shooting, and I jumped between them and Axeka, raising my robot arm, palm wide. It glowed for a moment before emitting a short, round blast of light, which I aimed at the most exposed soldier. His gun went flying out of his hands and we went sprawling back, a large burn mark on his chest. "The hell?! Okay, so apparently that war I mentioned has begun!"

I grabbed Axeka by the collar and pulled her towards the door, hand up threateningly, warning off any more attacks. "Hold onto those books, they might come in handy."

Okay, so I knew one of their names and that we'd all gotten here through a...portal? Is that what that was? The Gwar-looking guy shook my hand and that was it, while the girl, Axeka, introduced herself and walked away.

For a second I stood there with my hand out, about to introduce myself, when I realized neither of them were even looking at me anymore and seemed to have moved on. Well then. I will remain anonymous if they really don't care.

While they dug through the masses of books, I went outside and fiddled with the antenna on my earpiece until I picked up an AM signal. It was a news station, and I stood there listening to the latest haps for about ten minutes while passerby glanced nervously at me and whispered to their friends.

From what I could tell, there was currently a mass war movement on the other side of the country, which seemed to be America, comfortingly enough. It seemed they were advocating war with China for taking work away from U.S. citizens with their cheap labor force and massive amounts of factories.

That didn't seem much different from before, but I noticed that no one was mentioning bombing or nuking China. All they talked about was sending an army of drones and hovertanks, which, from what I could gather, were nowhere near as destructive as nuclear explosions, even en masse.

I wondered about this until the program ended, at which point a man in a black uniform similar to Axeka's came up to me and grabbed my shoulder. "Sir, you're obstructing pedestrian traffic and appear to have illegal bodymods. I'm afraid I'm going to have to take you in for questioning."

I stared at him with a purposely blank expression for a moment before waving my hands in front of my face, murmuring "I am only a figment of your imagination," and sprinting back into the library. I don't know whether the cop believed me, but I heard him yelling and loud footsteps as I huddled behind a bookshelf near the doors, stifling laughter.

It's fine. I wouldn't expect you to post anyway with no one here.

Maybe if you make the official thread more people will join.

....bump?

Possssted. A lot longer than I'd intended, but I'm happy with it. I'll be writing in first person, since I like being able to show my characters' opinions along the way.

A group of scientists and I sat in a cramped van, half of them asleep. It was fairly dark, but I was reading a Cory Doctorow book under the light of the interface on my neck (I guess that thing comes in handy sometimes), a headphone in my ear playing a remix of some Japanese song. I was several chapters in and pretty much absorbed before the van came to a stop in a dimly lit parking lot and the driver called for everyone to get out.

Sleepy passengers shuffled past me as I put the book and my iPod away, not in much of a rush. When I did exit the van, all the scientists had gone inside with their belongings to check into the hotel, take a bathroom break, and maybe grab a snack. Apparently they didn't care about my well-being.

Outside of the vehicle, I began picking up a local radio station playing some kind of alternative rock music. Not my favorite, but there was some good stuff. I went around to the back, swung the doors open, and pulled out my backpack, slinging it over my shoulder. Just the essentials in here, books, drawing supplies, tools, and snacks, no namby-pamby clothes or anything. As I reached for the suitcase carrying the bulkier (and, from another's view, more necessary) items, I heard a weird sound, sort of like a mix between someone sucking at an empty milkshake through a straw and a tone-deaf cat whistling. I looked over to tell whoever it was the shut the hell up, it was hurting my ears (well, ear), but instead I saw a swirling vortex suspended in midair. Before I could so much as reference a video game, a strong force pulled me in headfirst. I kept a death grip on my backpack with my robotic hand as I....uh...floated? I guess? It definitely wasn't flying, I know what that feels like and it's not whatever the portal was doing. It was kind of like being in a whirlpool in the middle of an airplane going through a lot of turbulence. (Not that that could ever happen. Well, probably.)

I shot out, headfirst again, skinning my chin painfully on metal. I cursed under my breath and got to my feet, brushing dirt and a little bit of blood off of my now annoyingly stained white hoodie.

Then I looked around and realized that I was in the middle of a busy road.

"Holy--!" I leapt out of the way as a sort of hovercar thing shot past me. I assume they were honking, but to me it just sounded like sirens in surround sound. After quite a bit of spinning, dodging, and diving, I remembered I could fly and activated the jets in my feet, which sent me spiraling into the air. After a moment I regained my balance and examined my surroundings. Wherever this was, it definitely wasn't from my time period, no matter how advanced my systems were. I noticed people were staring, though, so I lowered power until I landed gently on the sidewalk, saluted the crowd, and ducked into a nearby library. Maybe I could find out where I was from the librarian, or at least check out a book. When in Rome...

I stopped short once I entered the building, though. A girl in some kind of uniform was talking to what looked like a gray-skinned alien by one of the shelves. I hadn't seen anyone like him outside and could only guess that he wasn't from around here either.

"J0. You two. Is a sci-fi convention being held here or am I hallucinating?" I said quietly, nodding to the stern-looking librarian glaring at me from over the counter.
