Bio

Y'all can call me Bard.

I've been RPing for about 15 years now.

I'm also an aspiring novelist and an avid writer of short stories.

I believe hardship and bad karma (regardless of how much good one does) are necessary for character development, aptly explained by a well selling writer:
"Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them—in order that the reader may see what they are made of." —Kurt Vonnegut

Okay. Phew. Thought I missed something in reading your profile for a moment. But yeah, that sounds great - and Harper would probably encourage her to try out for the musicals. =)
Alright. I'll get the OOC up in the next few hours. (Replying on my phone, need to wait for a real keyboard.)
Sounds like a plan. And I could see the rivalry - though Harper might not with her extroverted nature - so there should be an interesting dynamic there. I didn't realize Tristan was also a Drama/Theater club person. I thought Tristan was just choir/chorus. Though there could be rivalry (in the form of them continually going out for the soloist) with that too *though kind of same conditions as plays*.

Oh, so I figured I'd ask this now before just adding it to the RP, but because I listed off that Harper is lead actress for the 'upcoming play' does anyone mind if I put in what play that is? I was thinking Beauty and the Beast...
Yeah, sounds good. Known enough to know the other's name (and for at least Harper to say hi to in the hall).

I just didn't want to go into this assuming Harper could just know everyone (though she may still say hi in passing in the halls regardless.)
I want to ask this - and I meant to do it earlier - but does anyone not want to be friends with Harper? She is kind of a social butterfly and likes to know pretty much everyone. Do people feel like there's no chance Harper and their character would be acquantinces? Anyone want to actually be friends? And she may have a crush on a boy or two... just saying...
I don't mind Ester taking a female spot as the school would either have skler using the female lavatories/locker rooms as her biological gender is female - or skle would have to always use the nurse's bathroom.
Yeah. If you were willing to go to ten that shouldn't be too breaking.

Also, I may only be able to post every other day. At least for a little while. I hope that won't be a problem.
Due to a schedule change, I have to close my search for now. I will open it back up when my schedule goes back to normal.
"Oh, okay. I am quite certain that as long as your siblings stay in the cabin, being armed and armored should be fine," Ariel said between his statements. She flashed him a smile. If the Ares cabin wished to be ready for a potential fight, then that was their prerogative. There was other things for her to worry about, like making sure her brother was on his way to the meeting and taking care of the lump on Walker's head.

She spun, skirt swirling around her in a bit even after she came to a stop and it needed to settle, to face Walker. Her mouth opened to say something, but she heard the shouting Adrian did. It caused her to hesitate and look over her shoulder at him. Turning back to Walker, she said, "Come along." A beckoning sweep of her arm accompanied the words before she started off back to the Apollo cabin.

Not even hesitating, she opened the door. "Samuel, your presence is requested by Chiron in the Big House for a meeting of Cabin Heads." She stepped to the side, just inside the cabin. "Oh, and you all know Walker, yes? Would you please all allow for him to be in with us during quarantine? Someone needs to observe his injury and I would feel more comfortable if that observation was done by one of us. I volunteer my own space for him to be in, before anyone asks." After all, her own injury was nothing more than a pink line already barely defined. If anyone needed tending, it was the boy that winced when he touched his head.

There were a few questions, only one protest, but after her siblings discussed it amongst themselves, it was their cabin head that gave the final nod. "Yeah, he can stay." Samuel looked around at the siblings, reiterating the orders from Chiron. As he stepped out of the cabin, he gave Walker a hard look. "You better be on your best behavior. We're being nice by letting you into our cabin - so you better give thanks to Apollo when you make your offerings later." With that, he headed off to the Big House for the meeting.
Name: Loralei Harper Parker - She’s going through a romantic phase and has been requesting people call her Harper (started over the summer.)

Age: 17 (junior)
Sex: Female
Gender: Female pronouns
Sexuality: Heterosexual, but open to experimentation
Extracurricular activities (if they have any): Drama/Theater club, gymnastics team, art club, helps with stage crew, and Creative Writing club when she has the time to make it. Not school related, she models and has managed to land a few minor roles in some television shows and has recently been working on a movie with her oldest brother.

Personality: Harper is sweet and kind of bubbly. She loves to be around others, and has a knack for finding the silver lining to almost anything. As much as she loves telling stories, they’re usually some awesome thing someone else did instead of her own exploits. Despite a childhood being the center of attention from her father and eldest brother, she still always wanted to hear about everyone else’s day and watch/shadow her youngest of older brothers. It’s not that she can’t talk about herself, but she’d rather hear about someone else, and she rarely realizes she’s turning the conversation away from herself. She loves to talk though, and basks in the spotlight whenever she can steal it.
Often times she wishes her life were more like a musical. She loves to sing, and sometimes breaks out into a song - not in the middle of a conversation, but sometimes out of no where - just to get it out of her head or because she just wants to fill the silence. It doesn’t bother her if no one really pays attention, and most of the time this is when no one else is around. However, it doesn’t take much to egg her on to sing or break out into monologues from plays and the more people around, the better her performance.
She may not be much in way of negative emotion, she definitely doesn’t stand for injustice such as anyone putting anyone else down; that’s when she puts on her serious face and will step in to try to work things out peacefully. With three older brothers, she managed to stay the girly princess, even though she loves all the playing in dirt and roughhousing of a tomboy. Broken nail? Not a problem, that’s what the other nine are there for - that’s kind of her motto.

Best friend: Well, secretly it’s her dad, but as far as people her own age - it’s a tie between Stephanie Aldrin, who does the lights for the plays and lives next door to her, and Walker Pritchett.

How they feel about being stuck in the school for one whole night with seven other students: She’s not sure how she feels - on one hand, she’s worried that her brother is stranded somewhere since he was the one that was supposed to pick her up; on the other hand, she loves new experiences and is looking forward to hanging out with whomever else is stranded there too.

Appearance:
Harper has the petite frame of a gymnast, complete with pixie like features like a perfectly symmetrical face and properly proportioned nose. Her small bust actually fits her frame perfectly, making her small Bs look like moderate Cs. Slightly shorter than average, Harper only stands at about five foot three. Her golden topaz colored eyes are round, but she uses eyeliner to help create the illusion of narrowness/almond shape even if she isn’t wearing any other make up. Generally, she only wears nude smokey-eye eyeshadow and a lip gloss a shade or two darker than her own lips’. Light brown hair color often confused with dirty blonde flows down nearly to her waist.

Reason why they were there after regular school hours: She had plans with a friend to stay and run lines for Beauty and the Beast, the upcoming play in which she is playing Belle; when her friend flaked, she decided to work on the set until her ride came so time wasn’t wasted.

Taste of music: Anything with a good beat and something she can sing along with - or just sing on its own when music is not an option - (so not a lot of metal or rock, and definitely no screamo/speed metal.) Techno has it’s own playlist with very specific melody types for when she wants to just move to the beat and/or want the energy to help her keep going (so like working out or gearing up for a gymnastics meet or even while working on a play set *which includes some dancing/body moving to go along*)
