[Pixelmage]

I give up on family name. But... Pierre Laevan, no points for guessing where the second name is derived from.
I can still keep Pixel for a nickname. I'm just sorry it breaks the Touhou literal shout but...

What do you guys think?

[AMimsyBorogove]

We really reference Laevateinn a lot, don't we? 0.o

...

I NEED TO HAVE THE HATTER SPAWN IT. NAO.

Name: Lawrence Kewell

Age: 17

Class Level: Junior

Desired Spirit: The White Rabbit

Bio: Aloof and sarcastic, Lawrence was often accused of being the stereotypical model student who considers himself superior to everyone else. He grew up with little interaction with the rest of his small family, who were usually away. As a child, he was filled with a great desire to learn, and, while he was not unnaturally intelligent, he displayed an uncanny talent for memorization. In addition to his school subjects, he utilized this ability to play the piano, something his parents had signed him up for because they thought he would enjoy it. Though outwardly he treated it no differently than his other studies, it did please him as much as anything ever did. However, the more he learned, the more separated he became from the world. He had no real friends to speak of, and he didn't particularly want any, and so he lived his life with very little human interaction outside of his schooling. This situation fostered a strange mindset within him, and the more he grew and learned, the more he felt himself merely a distant observer studying his subjects.

As he became more jaded, his eccentricities began to increase as well. In private he became more and more obsessive, seeking an elusive goal of flawless efficiency, planning out everything to get the maximum amount of work done in the smallest amount of time. In his eyes, his grades were either flawless or total failures, though more because he desired perfection than because he really cared about such things. It was a testament to his ability that they were almost always the former. He got a reputation for being a cold, calculating machine that always completed any task given to him with perfect accuracy and always arrived exactly on time, to the second. That was when the Rabbit found him.

At first, he didn't see much of a change, but his dreams began to shift; images of a strange clock tower that defied logic and the constant ticking of clocks. His mind sharpened to physically impossible levels, making even his previously uncannily accurate memories seem foggy by comparison. His spirit soon contacted him, and it became obvious very quickly that in this case, being similar was not a particularly good thing. However, during a 'vacation' where his parents pulled him along with them on a business trip, the forces of the Red Queen found him when he accidentally crossed paths with them as they returned from a skirmish with the White Queen's minions. In order to save his life, the Rabbit acted and brought out his true powers. Even though he was able to defeat them before they could relay information of his presence, the battlefield was discovered shortly and both sides traced it back to him. After that, the two minds within the same body agreed to begin afresh, and though their day to day arguments changed little on the outside, the relationship between them was much less hostile than before.

When his high grades drew the attention of a certain private school, Lawrence, wishing to escape the area before attacks began in earnest, convinced his parents to send him there to further his education, though not much work was needed on his part in order to make them acquiesce. His cold nature made even the smallest of interactions awkward for others at best. After arriving at the school, he soon became the head of his class, which also included a certain mad magician, whom Lawrence made it a priority to summarily ignore. So far, he has devoted his days first to his classes and second to work with his contracted spirit, since he cannot bear the thought of not having total control over powers that are already at his disposal.

And yes, that pic is essentially what I have decided to look like in Transfer State. Just cause.

[AMimsyBorogove]

I would ask "WHY SO FABULOUS?"

...But I was the one who found and suggested that pic.

XD

[Sicon112]

Made a couple changes to my bio, changing my backstory to add attacks from the Queens' forces, since other people have added in bits of the war as well. I was originally going to do this, but I had changed it out at the last second because I wasn't sure if I should.

Now, I can't wait till Xana gets back. This will be really cool.

[Victin]

BTW, I think I'll let this RP pass.

[Sicon112]

Hey, Xana, next time we are on the chat at the same time I'd like to ask you a couple of questions about this RP. Something occurred to me that I thought you might like, so I figured I would just tell it to you and let you throw it in if you feel like it. Nothing about powers or anything, just something related to how you were originally planning on making the Rabbit evil or w/e.

[Victin]

Fun Fact: I was thinking of an Alice in Wonderland themed RP at first, but then you came with yours Alice in Wonderland RP, so I gave up on that idea.

After I said that in the lecture, something came to my mind, but I didn't want to derail it, so I'll say it here before I forget: I also was thinking into having the characters as spirits or something similar, but I thought of that just before I saw this, so I kinda forgot I thought of that and started to take in account as if I didn't thought of that at all and my brain was just copying Xana's idea.

[Victin]

So, what's up with this one?

[Pixelmage]

Didn't even get off the ground. We got a lot of stuff to do and didn't start running. Basically.

[Lordxana0]

No. I will start this RP once I get back from my holiday break. None of the RP's are over with until every player says they would rather not play. If one person who wants the story to remain is there then I will keep GMing. That is the creed of a GM

[Guyshane]

So are we gonna do this or are you putting it on hold since we now have the fight thread going?

[Sicon112]

It will probably be booted up soon, I suspect, just like I will have the first RPG running again. As for BK, that one is up to Adell.

Name: Calarine Algrim
Age: 17
Class Level: Junior
Desired Spirit: The Invisible Death
Bio: Tip tap, dear me, what's going on? Calarine used to be quite the active and outgoing sports-girl, until the Cat crept into her life unknowingly. An urge to claw at things that irked her, a sudden craving for fish, she didn't realise what exactly was going on until she caught sight of her tail in the mirror.
The spirit made itself known to her even as she began panicking and, with a few angry arguments that drew her parents' attention, convinced her that she wasn't crazy. More or less. Ever since then, Calarine began withdrawing from her friends, suddenly feeling incredibly self-conscious whenever they paid attention to her, hating herself for it but unable to stop the admittedly unnatural tendency. Attention was.. strange.

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

Character Sheet
Name: Daniel Renoue
Age: 16
Class Level: Junior
Desired Spirit: Hare of Eternal March
Bio: Daniel's an anti-social coffee addict with serious anger issues. He's a year younger than his classmates, on account of having started kindergarten a year early (he was born in January, and big for his age, so everyone figured he might as well), but who needs age when you can be physically intimidating?

After he sent a kid to the hospital for bullying his little sister, Daniel's parents decided, rather than a pointless conversation trying to convince him that Elise can take care of herself, to send him to boarding school-- the assumption being that without his Big Brother Instinct as a motivator, he'd stop getting into violent fights. They were wrong.

However, when the March Hare bonded with him-- attracted by that very hair-trigger temper and easy rage that so put off other people-- it was the best thing that could have happened to Daniel. While rage he already had aplenty, the Hare taught him to laugh, to take a joke-- and make one. His sense of humour may be twisted at times, but at least he's got one now.

The only real drawback Daniel can see to this arrangement-- not counting the Queens' armies after him, since he's confident he can take anyone who comes-- is the Hare's insistence that he switch from coffee to tea. It's never a good idea to bother Daniel first thing in the morning, when he's sipping Earl Grey instead of the espresso he really wants.

Well, Xana manifested that he had plans to select players and get this up.
I don't really know where that stands, considering AoH now. But, well, I'm quite a bit overwhelmed since I started running FC. Not that I can't keep up or anything, but college starts again next week and then I'll be swamped. So I'll step out of the selection, so I don't have to drop anything mid-game.

Hard to give up on Alice, but, look at it this way... I get to learn other people's tricks with her.

Anyway, I'm posting it here because I was the only one who made a sheet for Alice, so someone else might want to get that spot.

[Lordxana0]

Sadly i will not be bring this RP past idea. But I will have one other RP I will start at some point in the future.

Pixel can't play Alice. >>> The RP is cancelled.

I realize that's not the reason, but

[Sicon112]

Hey, Isla, you still paying attention to this RPG? Xana is starting it up after all, and you haven't re-posted your character sheet. Agora already made an application for the cat, but you can always do the twins thing people were bouncing around earlier. It'd be cool to RP with you again.

Cool! Lemme find my post...

Linked this in the chat, but new sheets go here: viewtopic.php?f=46&t=1117

[Scarab]

I see we've started, do we know who's playing who?
