I was really excited to start a post but then the weekend started and my brain was like "Time to do nothing but paaaaaarty~~~~" and uh, the point is maybe tomorrow. The enthusiasm for this RP is still there but so is the headache from the weekend.

I'm definitely one of those people who never changes their avatar or signature and I'm 100% ok with that.

Bio
I'm not sure what I did to lure you here but I do apologize and I also would like to welcome you to my page. Now with the pleasantries aside, a bit about me.
I have been role playing for about 3 maybe 4 years now, I love writing and I spend a lot of free time doing just that. I also spend a lot of time that is meant to be for work writing but that's another story. I live in the American midwest (think great lakes region) so that should give you an idea of my timezone. That being said I am often up at many hours of the night, or morning depending on your point of view.
I am indeed a girl and she/her whatever works.

YEAH SOME ONE ANSWERING MY INTERNAL PLEAS BECAUSE I COULDNT THINK OF A WAY TO SAVE IT MYSELF! LONG LIVE THIS IDEA!!!
I think that was the go ahead, has work on the intro started yet?
@Blizz
It's really good to hear you're not in a flood zone or a fire warning zone or whatever other myriad of other natural disasters are going on right now. I hope all your computer issues get sorted out, I've had issues myself in the past. I've found that if you have a local library with computers those can be used to get some work done, this has been helpful to me in the past but it is just a suggestion.
On another note I think a good one or two rounds of character interaction in the camp (I would limit it to just the camp but that's up to Blizz) would be wonderful to establish character relations before they're all thrown into a plot line. However it would not be very fair to do this without Blizz's character which is important to remember, feeling left out really sucks. I will support whatever is decided though.

I'm here, I hope they're all right I know there's flooding going on in America.
@shylarah they'll be fast friends then.
I finally made that second character...
Name: Finn 'Gadget'
Age: 17
Appearance: For 17 he's already quite tall but its clear he hasn't grown into it. Pretty thin and pale if you've ever seen him clean. He's usually covered in soot or some form of grime. Underneath it all he might actually be a little cute but its hard to tell. His hair is an brown with odd streaks of a much lighter almost blondish brown, its unruly as the rest of his appearance and if often also covered in dirt. His eyes are a curious greenish blue and he usually is either wearing goggles so you cant see them well or magnifying glasses so they look incredibly large.
Personality: He's young but he's quite clever. He's the kind of person who asks questions too quickly answers them himself and then forgets he asked a question. In short, inquisitive, smart and lackadaisical. How he ended up in the camp is a bit of a odd story but if you can get him to sit still for more than 5 minuets he'll tell you about it. He loves to fix things and you can literally incapacitate him by giving him a hard enough riddle. Its a quite a weakness because if he shuts down to solve the riddle while in the middle of a job problems can arise. He has the emotional intelligence of a 4 year old and thats being generous, he can barely read emotions and you have to be very clear about how you feel because he will NOT get it if you are vague. He loves helping people but he cant do it for free, that being said he'll make a weapon or fix something do it for trinkets others bring from outside the camp. He got his nickname for all the oddities he makes that really no one finds useful and its not uncommon for him to stop by those known with first aid skills because of these inventions and how they back fire. He's fairly well known for his eccentricities and his usefulness if you need a new weapon, just be sure to tell him not to add anything special if you don't need a rotating sword blade or a dagger that glows in the dark (no one is quite sure how he did that one)
Weapon: He has a several modified weapons but he rarely uses them
Other: He runs a well functioning smith but only at night because the smoke from the fires would give the camp away. He's constantly pushing the boundaries of the current technology and the results have a 50/50 chance of being disastrous. If he ever approaches you asking you to try out one of his inventions, do NOT say yes.

Helena gave her best smile, "Darling, that one is gorgeous isn't it?" She gestured to a stunning blue dress in a shop window. A nobleman's son following her, entranced by what many would think to be young love but Helena knew it was certainly more nefarious than that. He looked at it briefly and nodded, a nonverbal cue that she could have it. While normally she would have indulged, she hesitated as she felt a twinge guilt, this was the second hapless man she had ensnared this week. She suspected when the Irulans taught that the would was their 'oyster' and despite the fact that those words were directed towards those in the family who actually had the traditional skills, this was probably not what they meant. As such she hesitated and shook her head, "Not my color... maybe some other time." She said and a look of confusion crossed over his face, she was loosing him. Helena sighed, "Well, I must be going. I am very sorry, I can't change your memories too much but you'll definitely think of today pleasantly... the money was spent while you spent the day with a lovely girl. Today was a good day and she said she would write but you're fairly sure she won't." She used a bit of the voice, it would likely be enough to convince him since he was already in a pretty suggestible state.
An hour and a nice walk through the city had done little to put her guilt to rest. Off in the distance she could see the Magical Jobs institute, a place she had actually avoided in the months since her arrival in the city. The reasons were complex but it boiled down to the fact she knew in the case of most jobs she would be useless and she feared judgement for her abilities. People were better off not knowing what she could do. However she could only swindle the rich of this city for so long. If she could manage to make some powerful friends and keep her magic from blowing up in her face the magical jobs institute would probably be a good fit for her. Plus she didn't necessarily have to take any jobs, she could just check the place out, hopefully. Helena took a deep breath and started towards the Institute. If she could clear her conscious for a while she could go back to her normal, although despicable, lifestyle.

@Banana Thank you for making me hungry (it doesn't take much to do that though), otherwise that's actually a great name. A sushi chef time wizard.
@Weird Tales I'll be careful, I'm pretty good at limiting myself.

I'm working on a second character and I came across a problem, I'm good at making up interesting magics but my naming skills are lackluster. So, and I ask everyone and anyone, what would you call the ability to manipulate the age or more aptly time stream of an object. For example, lets say your mother's priceless vase was knocked over, this character would be able to reverse the effects of time on just this object to repair the vase. Another usage would be to stop projectiles or kind of send them back, maybe even the ability to heal wounds. This character would not be able to send themselves through time or send whole living beings.
My best naming attempt so far was 'Oddly specific time magic' which personally I like but is maybe not the best possible name. In any case, I'm open to suggestions and the power is not fully fleshed out because I have yet to delve into the many limitations it has, as most well balanced out time magics do.
