j8cob said This has absolutely nothing to do with anything, but holy damn you have the best avatar I've seen in a long time.

I can't not be interested; this is a really good-looking RP you've got going.

Mizumi All-Girls' Highschool

...and that's the story of how Sekibanki x Kagerou became a major Touhou pairing. With Waggysaggy constantly showing up at everyone's windows and doors.

Mizumi All-Girls' Highschool

Here's the second girl I promised before. It's surprisingly difficult to write a bio about a dullahan, so hopefully the rest of the CS compensates for that ^_^;

Cody

Name: Cody MacBeth
(NOTE: Cody chose her own surname for filing purposes, as she was told she needed one. She took the name after Shakespeare's play MacBeth, and its titular protagonist. However, she actually has no such surname, so addressing her by "MacBeth" probably won't get her attention...unless, y'know, she happens to be performing MacBeth as MacBeth.)

Age: 18

Race: Dullahan

Appearance:

Personality: There are few things in this world Cody dislikes; she's a very open-hearted girl who tries to find the wonder in just about anything. In the same vein, there are few people in the world she won't like; Cody is a hopeless optimist who can't not look at the glass half-full, or can't help seeing the best in even the most undesirable, hateful, scorned person in the world. It would probably suffice to call her naive, though knowing Cody, she'd probably retort with "No I'm not!"

For all her kindness and optimism though, Cody does have a bit of a temper, and loves to fight. She'll exchange blows just as soon as she will smiles. It's the thrill-seeker in her; Cody loves to put herself in danger for some reason. Whatever minor thrill she can find, she'll pursue it recklessly for that adrenaline rush she believes to be the most satisfying thing in the world. Bigger thrills seem capable of keeping her satisfied for longer periods of time, but a lack of thrills can lead up to her doing some seriously dangerous things that any sane person would yell at her for.

She also has a fondness for the dramatic. Especially acting. Be it on a stage or on the big screen, Cody is fond of and easily moved by actors and actresses playing their parts. Expect her to be the first one to cry during a touching moment in a play or movie, and the last one to stop talking about the show afterwards. She also enjoys doing the acting as well, though she feels more compelled to play the male roles in anything she does. Probably the work of her homosexuality which she's far from accepted.

Another thing she loves is natural disasters. Partly because a dullahan will naturally like things that can kill people, and partly because she's such a thrill-seeker, Cody has a love for seeing and experiencing nature at its absolute worst that's almost to the point where it could be considered as being a turn-on for her. The worse the weather, the more excited and sociable she'll get. Thankfully, Cody will also be well-prepared for any such disaster happening, so if you're caught unprepared in the worst of it, expect her to be a friend who won't mind swooping in to give you a hand.

Skills:
- Skilled actress
- Can process the safest (and most dangerous) courses of action for any natural disaster almost as soon as it hits. She typically acts on the latter, though.
- As a dullahan, Cody is naturally good with horses. As a dullahan, she's also good with locks and whips. Now let's get our minds out of the gutter, shall we?
- Can cook pretty well. Still can't get a grip on most Japanese dishes, though.

Hobbies:
- Riding horses, talking to horses...pretty much anything involving horses.
- Acting
- Seeking thrills

Club(s): Equestrian Club and Theatrical Club

Background: Dullahans are known as fearsome messengers of death, but it would be foolish to assume that's the only occupation they pursue. Some prefer the notion of becoming a baker, or a horse jockey, or an international dodgeball star...as the ball. Cody aspired to be none of these things. For all her life, she wanted to be a storm chaser, or an actress, or a horse doctor. She wasn't quite sure which path was right for her, leading to some sage advice from her father to a young Cody. "You still have plenty of time to choose; don't rush yourself."

And so some years passed. Cody continued to grow up in Ireland, unsure what she wanted to do when she grew up, but certain that she'd enjoy whichever path she took. And then out of nowhere, about five years ago, Cody's father announced that they were moving to Japan. Seemed there was a high school somewhere in Japan that would be...well, more accepting of a dullahan than the ones in Ireland, and he wanted to give Cody some time to learn the language. And so they moved.

She started up as a second-year in junior high, given some supplemental aid by one of her classmates in translating the lessons and slowly learning how to speak Japanese for herself. By high school, she was at least able to hold conversations and pay attention in school. That was where her three years in Mizumi's lovely little high school began. She joined two clubs in the school, and up to this point, she's proven to do quite well in both clubs. Her grades suffer a little because her hobbies are kinda time-consuming, but if she keeps up the pace, she should graduate.

Mizumi All-Girls' Highschool

With the second character I'm slowly working on behind the scenes (and other things I won't discuss) I have absolutely no objections at all.

When I have said second, should I make it a new post or stick it in another hider under Amaya's?

Mizumi All-Girls' Highschool

Well, here's the newly-revised (and slightly extended) CS. I managed to edit and even add to her personality, but had to rewrite the bio from scratch.

Amaya

Name: Amaya Kuroi

Age: 17

Race: Human

Appearance:

Personality: Amaya's a little strange, to put it politely. Bluntly, this chick absolutely, undoubtedly, and indisputably has some screws loose somewhere. She'll say completely macabre things in normal conversation as if it's perfectly natural, and always seems to be talking about this or that most certainly made-up ghost or monster when she isn't talking about real ones. Add it to celebrating at least a dozen holidays she just as obviously made up, and it'd be hard not to call her pretty kooky.

However, she's a good kid. If she sees somebody down in the dumps, she'll be sure to give them a pick-me-up to the best of her abilities, and making a new friend is often the highlight of her day. Her interests may be morbid, and she's clearly not all there in the noggin, but in the end, Amaya's still human. As a human, it's only natural that she'd want to interact with others, even if "others" includes "people without a pulse." Rather, she seems more interested in the people who don't have a pulse.

Romantically, she claims "I don't believe that barriers like gender or a pulse should come between two people in love." Actually, if you can get her to stop talking about death and scary monsters and nice sprites, Amaya's got a surprisingly romantic and straightforward mindset...granted, her definition of "romantic" seems a tad off. Even so, win her heart and she'll be loyal to a fault.

It rarely shows since she's always talking about horror stuff, but she's also quite the airhead. Often forgetting about something or completely missing the point of what somebody's telling her if they beat around the bush. One time she even nonchalantly dismissed somebody confessing to her by saying "It's nice that you're offering your heart to me like that, but I already have one and I'm pretty sure I don't have room to fit a second one in. And I'm bad at stitching people shut, so I could bleed out too. Please keep your heart inside your own body; you need it more than me."

...y'know, for somebody whose philosophy is "Death should be celebrated; the deceased is going to a better place", Amaya seems to take a lot of care to not die. That's probably the most normal thing about her. And her fear of lightning. Expect her to be the first one to run inside when she sees some.

Skills:
- Tells excellent ghost stories.
- Can make any sandwich that doesn't require grilling/toasting/etc. in less than thirty seconds.
- Can speak backwards just as fluently as forwards.

Hobbies:
- Telling ghost stories
- Pulling relatively harmless pranks, mainly at night.
- Preparing for any of her weird and oftentimes macabre holidays that don't actually exist
- When she can't think of anything else to do, Amaya likes just lying back outside and taking in sunlight.

Club(s): Currently working on a petition to found an Undead Research Club. It's not going well since she always forgets about it.

Background: Amaya used to actually be perfectly normal. Still fascinated by the undead and whatnot, but nothing like today. In fact, Amaya used to be pretty well-known back in her native Hokkaido. Her reputation wasn't necessarily a good one, but there were still people who liked her. The ones who didn't were mainly fed up with her constant gleeful telling of ghost stories, despite her natural knack for them.

Back then, her only flaw with her stories was that they all started with the exact same line. "It happened on a dark, stormy night." Well, at about the time she started junior high, she may or may not have gotten a little fed up with certain folks dissing her ghost stories. And so, on a dark stormy night just like the ones in her stories, Amaya had planned to enact exactly what had happened in them. Minus the killing. Sadly, this plan never came to fruition, as Amaya was struck by a bolt of lightning almost immediately after stepping outside.

Amaya spent a couple weeks in the hospital after that. At first, her head was a complete blank, but she was beginning to remember things after a day or two. During her stay, she shared a room with a kindly old fellow who wouldn't be leaving the hospital. Not long before Amaya left the hospital, the old fellow told her the first thing she'd heard in the hospital besides pointless small talk. "Even if I'm dying, it just means I'm going to a better place, where I can be happier." For a head that was still gathering itself, it sounded far more profound than it was.

When Amaya was sent home a day after her roommie passed away, she was quite clearly a changed girl. Among other things, her love of the ghastly had grown immensely, her wits weren't nearly as sharp as they'd used to be, and she'd grown obsessed with the idea that "Death should be celebrated; the deceased is going to a better place." Her family moved to Mizumi not long after Amaya left the hospital to give her a fresh start, and it was where she began high school a couple years later.

Now she's back for her third and final year of high school, no more normal than she has been for the previous two. But if asked about it, Amaya would surely say she prefers herself this way. Now if only she could get over that lightning phobia...

Your subscription will soon expire.

You got it. No spam mail; just the link to an RP the likes of which I don't think I've ever seen on RPG.
(making it sound way more epic than it actually is: check)

The World of Wasted Dreams

Whenever Reiko kicks the bucket, I think I found a monster version for her. I think.

Also having a neat RP idea running about in my head, but won't elaborate because advertising. I'll post up a link to an interest check when I return on Tuesday if Windel allows it :)

Fuyuki High School RP

:'< but...who else is gonna sacrifice a goat every April 7th and paint another goat with his blood, using the horn as a paintbrush?

loljk, I'll see about fine-tuning her so that she's at least half-here (though I guess physically she's still all-here anyway) and doesn't kill and/or sacrifice animals. But I won't be able to put up the edited version until Tuesday, since Texan libraries are closed on Sundays and Monday is Labor Day so of course it'll be closed.
