Interest Check - Sleep is for the Wicked (A Modern/Fantasy RP)

[Renny]

Character Sheet


”Gotta keep living, gotta keep living. The outside, no, the whole world! It conspires against me.”

Name: Atlas Hargrave
Age: 17, seventeen.
Height: 5'9"
Build: Slim/Average
Reason for Insomnia: Ever since a tragic accident brought him dangerously close to death, he has become intensely paranoid of the world's dangers. Even sleep is defiled by his overactive terrors.

Personality: Plagued by day terrors and night terrors alike, Atlas just barely keeps himself on the shallow end of sanity. It takes all of his concentration to seem somewhat normal around others, so it actually makes him quite the reclusive being. Due to the strain that it takes to keeps his bubble of safety secure around others, he finds himself straying from humanity and becoming a hermit of sorts. School, however keeps him human, capable of interacting if only in the most quiet of ways.

Regardless of all of this though, due to his paranoia, he tends to have things planned several steps ahead in order to keep his terrors from coming true. Which shows a sort of intellect and caution. Even if others would go against him, Atlas is independent enough and more-so frightened enough, that he would do things his own way regardless.

Bio: (Will reveal in IC)

[Gareth]

Character Sheet

Name:Kai Grant
Age: 18
Reason for Insomnia: From an early age he has had a nightmare of being locked in a room with his sisters and ever since his mind fights off sleep, as a little of corner of it tells him that if he falls asleep again it will be another nightmare of being locked away with no freedom. This thought in the corner of his mind terrifies him, resulting in no sleep.

Personality: He's very active and is frankly afraid of being cooped up in any place for long.

He has a sense of humor. He also likes to try and make others laugh and hopefully they share a similar taste in humor... If not, well, they might not get what he's laughing about and this could make the situation get ugly.

He also possesses very high confidence in things he has done and if he hasn't done a thing-as long as he has an idea of how to do it-then there is a good chance he's gonna give it a go.

On the value side of things he tries to be a good guy in that he is: loyal.

Some values he could work on: Being more reliable, Being more generous, being honest all the time.


Bio: Kai lived a rough life. Since an early age his older sisters used to pick on him by calling him names, criticising what he did at home, taking away his stuff and other bullying tactics. He told his parents about it and they just said he had to live with it and be more mature, since he was the man of the house.

This upset him and later on that day he thought he could sleep it off. That only made it worse as sleep brought about the image of being locked in his room with his two sisters tormenting him with no way out.

After waking in a cold sweat the following morning, he decided from them on to take a daily walk around the block or around the town-he frankly didn't care which, he just had to get the hell out of the house.

These walks helped him meet new people, learn about new events: such as sporting events which he signed up for since the age of ten with his parents permission. He got to play basketball, football, badminton and floor hockey on competitive teams. It was a good experience for him and helped him build social skills and confidence in himself.

The boring side of his life was that he was enrolled in school since the age of five but most of it he didn't care for. English, math, science and whatever other written class subject he slept during-he still managed to pass. His parents weren't too pleased with his grades but he didn't really care because he was 'the man of the house' as they said and he could make his own decisions.

Now more recently-as in a couple years ago, he got his motorcycle license-got a job at a retail store and saved enough money to buy his own motorcycle.

What he does now is sleep during his final year of highschool and for fun he plays sports with his friends or cruise around with his motorcycle.

Appearance:

My Spoiler

[Kyrianei]

Accepted, Gareth! Now we just need two more CS sheets from the others.

[TalijaKey]

Hm, I am not sure about the reason for insomnia, would the one I put in the form work? Or shall I change it up?

Appearance:

He is on the taller side with 182cm but is build pretty thin. He wears glasses only when he reads, or use the computer.

Name: Simon Pagliaro
Age: 18
Reason for Insomnia: There are a few things that overlapped, his little sister not feeling well, having coughing fits and fewer. The stress from school as he tries to do the work in time of his lessons, and a anime he watches to cheer himself up, when he isnt by his sister side.

Personality: He is a happy person, smiling most of the times and being overly polite. At times even falling into a bad habit of saying sorry for things he isnt at fault. What always cheers him up even when he feels alone and down is his own imagination. Loving to create stories and adventures for a different more free life.
He can be extremely geeky over some topics and when introduced to a new idea, for example a tv show that peeks his interest, he would spend hours and hours to watch every single episode. It wouldnt let him think straight until he is done with it. And do that in time he should be sleeping, as day is mostly planned out. Than with great enjoyment use the world introduced to him to create adventures on his own.
He is somewhat forgetfully when it comes to daily task, mostly to his habit to actually not hear them in the first place. As his mind is deep in space or far away on the sea, time traveling or who knows what. But there are things he never forget, and that are his day dreams and thing he read/watch that fulled his imagination.

He has a childish fascination with cats and pirates, even only the really close to him would notice the later one. They home doesnt have a pet as his mother is allergic to fur.

When he dreams he is nearly always exploring or traveling. But even when he is having a nightmarish or gore fulled dream because of something he recently watched or imagined, it lacks the feeling of fear. When he wakes up he would write his dreams down, enjoying to remember them.

Bio: From early on he was always relayed on. His father one day disappointing, leaving his weak mother and sickish sister alone. Him being the man in house took it upon himself to help in the household and everywhere else. Learning to cook and do house work, looking after his family. His mind wandering into imaginary worlds while he was doing the work machine like.
Still as he grow older his mother relayed even more on him to the point he felt he couldnt do everything that was asked off him. It felt like a burdened, coming from school directly home so he could tackle all things needed, at times skipping school to go to the doctor with his sister or dealing with administration and papers. He was the one who took care of the money and paying all the bills. Often making him feel like spending any money on anything beside the bills food and house is a sin.

When it comes to school he was always around the middle or just down the mid line. His grades varying on subject. Mostly depending on if he had to do lots of task home or not. Simon enjoys school. Finding it a place where he can sleep, relaxs, day dream and organize for when he comes home. When it comes to friend he doesnt have many, because he just doesnt find the time to spend with them, never finding the time to go to parties he is invited or to enjoy the return home walk with others. As he always has to hurry somewhere the moment the bell rings the end of school time. Only a few people over the years stayed his friends. The one who understand his situation.
He had a few part time jobs, but is always on look out for a better one.

[Kyrianei]

Accepted! Will add both Character Sheets soon.

[Kyrianei]

So I was thinking of maybe adding some more spots for others to join - They could be creatures who are slaves of the Sandman himself or even just other students with sleeping trouble too. However, we can start the RP as soon as eyesonlyhacker writes up the CS for The Haunted Mind.

[Gareth]

I like the idea of having more spots open because that enables more things to happen because there are more creatures/characters to interact with.

[Kyrianei]

I think I might do that. Going to go with creatures and open at least five more spots.

EDIT: Added 5 Creatures to the list for people to choose from and I have sent PMs to the other two members who showed interest in this RP. And now we wait.

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

May I join as the Sweet Shape-Shifter?

[Kyrianei]

Sure. I'll put it as reserved for you ^^

And Might I add, love your signature, Haruki.

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

XD LOL, Thank you.

I shall get to work on the CS, immediately. ^_^

[Kyrianei]

Awesome. Though I have sent you a PM on some rules about the Shape-shifter just to make a few things fair (Or I'm sure I sent it. The white blank page doesn't tell me whether it went through or not)

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

O_O....
I didn't get a PM.

Could you try and send it again? ^^"

[Kyrianei]

Resent. It's lucky I copy and pasted it then huh? XD

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

Oh yeah. XD

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

Alias: Kit

Name: Ayame Tamamao

Age: Unknown. However, compared to the other spirits who help the Sandman, she is relatively the youngest out of all of his helpers.

Personality: Ayame is a cheerful, energetic, and outgoing spirit who looks at things from an optimistic, and almost, an idealistic viewpoint. She is a very dutiful and loyal spirit as well, always doing her job as best as she could. However, she can be somewhat childish and ditzy at times, forgetting to think about the consequences of actions. She also tends to let her mischievous tendencies get the better of her, and she would pull some pranks here and there. However, if something horrible happened to anyone because of her actions, she would feel remorseful and guilty (and cry, sulk, and talk down on herself in response), for how long depends on the severity of the consequences. Underneath the childish personality, there is something deeper that is well hidden.

Bio: To be revealed

True Appearance:

[Kyrianei]

Accepted! I will add your CS to the list~
