[OOC] Return of a Princess (Nydie & Vena)

[Nydie]

Character sheets, and all that other good stuffies go here. XD

[Nydie]

Name: Jocelyn Lillian Turner
Age: 17
Height: 5'7
Weight: 120lbs.
Distinguishing marks: A star shaped birthmark on the back of her neck, just below the hairline.
Human Family: Heather Turner (Mother), Aidan Turner (Older Brother), Alicia Dawen (Aunt)
Biological Parents: Eslaria Gwavir (Queen of Elaweing,Mother), Tharnenon Gwavir (King of Legierwen, Father)
Role: Princess of Elawein

Personality Jocelyn has never quite fit in anywhere she's gone. Her attitude makes it difficult for anyone to get close to her, but the few who do manage end up with her loyalty. She's bright, but rarely applies herself to much of anything other than getting out of trouble when her smart mouth and violent tendencies lead her astray. She doesn't deal with people very well, since she has always felt as if she does not understand them. Despite her more aggressive qualities, Jocelyn is a leader rather than a follower, always thinking fast on her feet whenever things start to go downhill.

History: Switched at birth, Jocelyn's human mother knew from the moment the doctor's placed the baby in her arms that she was not holding her biological child. It was disgust at first sight from that moment on, Heather believing that Jocelyn was a monster who had taken her true child's place. Shortly after bringing the baby home, Heather attempted to smoother Jocelyn with a pillow, caught in the nick of time by her sister who managed to save the baby's life. Heather was sent off to a mental institute, where she ranted and raved over the demon who had killed her baby, and Jocelyn, along with her older brother, were sent to live with their aunt Alicia.

Growing up was difficult for Jocelyn, especially once she learned of her mother's attempt to kill her. Always considered an odd child for her inability to remain in doors for more than a few hours without having panic attacks, and her strange and picky behaviors, she could never quite fit in no matter where she went. Her family was forced to move repeatedly, after one private school after another kicked Jocelyn out for the constant fights she got into, along with her bad attitude and poor grades. Eventually her aunt moved the two siblings to a small community in Rhode Island, where Jocelyn was placed in public school. Now in her senior year, she is trying to get by long enough to graduate.

[Vena Sera]

Name: Tora Vincent Holbrook
Age:18
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 170lbs.
Distinguishing marks: None.
Human Family: Unknown
Biological Parents: Unknown
Role: Member of the Oracion order.

Personality: Tora is what one might call rough around the edges. He's confrontational and loves to get under people's skin. Sarcastic, he often makes rebuttals solely for the purpose of antagonizing people, knowing full well that what he says will bother them. To the point when speaking with others he leaves little room for tact, not bothering to beat around the bush as it would be. He's also fairly intelligent and confident in himself, a fact that makes him come across as arrogant to others. He enjoys thinking he's a step ahead of those around him, even if sometimes that is a self delusion. Normally he wears a mocking smile, not letting others know precisely what he is thinking until he says it aloud. While he has fun toying with people he knows when to stop, and if gone too far he will be prompt to try and make amends. He also has a bit of a perverted nature to him, making crude, off comments often about girls in school or around town, including Jocelyn. This is the Tora that the princess is familiar with anyways.

Outside of his high school persona Tora is far more quiet in his mannerisms. He retains his arrogance and still believes himself to be better than others, but if shown otherwise he will be humbled and acknowledge another person's strength. He doesn't make friends easily if at all, his tiny capability for putting up with other people making that quite difficult. While he doesn't particularly take joy in putting others down he will point out shortcomings or mistakes and try to make them improve. In a way that shows he actually cares for other people, wanting those around him to succeed. Tora can't openly show that however, and so inadvertently suggests improvement through biting remarks. When given a task he will see it completed at any cost, having commendable work ethic in that regard. However, marring his work ethic is his lack nature in regards to how the task is completed. He won't kill an innocent, but a few guards may die along the way if it means he gets his mark or information. He's efficient, but does things his way more often than not.

History: Tora is and always has been a member of Oracion, Elaweing's elite military force and the protectors of its royal family. From his youth he never knew of his family, being brought up under the care of his instructors, and later under the Headmaster himself. Even as a child he was a handful, often getting into fights with other children and even hitting caretakers and instructors. Seeing the fighting as misguided attempts at seeking attention, Headmaster Kael ordered Tora to be tutored privately as so he could be given more focus. Removal from the regular gatherings left him with little time for play with children, and for quite a while he was miserably lonely. The private teachings continued for a few months until, seeing how distressed the young boy was becoming, he was tentatively allowed back into the public system. While outbursts still happened he was a bit more well-tempered, and went through his education with far less conflict than before.

For inexplicable reasons that surprised his instructors Tora seemed exceptionally talented at combat. He was faster than most of the other students, stronger and had greater endurance as well. It wasn't even just brute strength that made him a surprising pupil, but he was also rather bright as well. It came as very little surprise to anyone then when the class graduated, and he came in the top three overall, being number 2 himself. Becoming fully fledged Guardians at 16 meant they were prepared to begin their service to the crown, and also undertake missions for the well being of Elaweing. The other two students that stood with him in the top three were both dispatched to the furthest reaches of the realm in order to see to their own tasks, and a rather unique assignment, from the Headmaster himself, was to be given to Tora. It was not a negotiable matter, not that the Headmaster thought the overzealous boy would refuse a chance to prove his mettle anyways. Unsurprisingly Tora readily accepted his job, and within the next year he was sent away to see to his job. He's now in a small school in Rhode Island, starting his first day as a new student there.

Don't kill me! I'm almost done with my post. I think I pushed myself a bit too hard trying to get back into the swing of things. I only need to finish up one more paragraph and I'll be done. Depressions done kicked in again, so I'm gonna go to bed and hope I feel better in the morning. :)

[Vena Sera]

No worries, you know you can do it whenever you're feeling up to it :) Hope tomorrow turns out to be better for you all the same.

[Nydie]

Finally posted! The ending kind of blew, but I got it done.

[Vena Sera]

Nice, and it's fine ^^

[Nydie]

I assumed that you were setting it up so he was sitting next to Jocelyn, if not I made a boo-boo!

[Vena Sera]

I was ^^ Figured they ought to interact now and again, and why not early off? :P

[Nydie]

Okay, halfway through my post. Lucky me, I caught a cold, so it probably won't be very good. =/

[Vena Sera]

I bet it'll be fine ^^

And hope you start feeling better soon. Colds are so poopy ><

[Nydie]

It started last night, so I've still got a while to deal with it. So far Dayquil has been my savior. lol

[Vena Sera]

Yay Dayquil <3 Personally I've always had a ton of luck with Alka Seltzer, maybe give that a try?

[Vena Sera]

So just 'cuz Tora's going to be kind of a punk here xD I don't know what to do here. I figure one of two things.

1) You play the guy and he gets pissed, and we have some early fun. Or...

2) I play him, they get into it and the teacher breaks it up, or comes out before anything happens.

I just want to have him known as kind of a little turd is all xD

[Vena Sera]

Dinky post is dinky Dx

[Nydie]

I totally missed your one OOC post. X_X

Your post wasn't bad. :P But, I think I'm going to force Tora to her house. XD

[Vena Sera]

DO EEEEET.

[Nydie]

Okay, tomorrow I will be back to posting again! I've been inspired, thanks to rereading Gunslinger. I never knew that Stephen King was my muse. :)

[Vena Sera]

Yey :D Glad to hear it!

[Nydie]

Okay, now I'm back.....I think. I actually had no idea what I was going to do, but I figured something out since we're using doorways for everyone to go back and forth between the realms. Which, we might have to put a few guidelines on, like doorways can only be used once per key, or something like that. o.O I should have a post up in a little bit. I'm making cookies. lol
