Occupation: Currently in College Pre-Med and a part time assistant to the local library.
Interests: Reading, Writing and Darklings
Fears: Heights, being strangled and cockroaches
Skill: Seer
Misc. Info: Her favorite animals are dogs, and though her sarcastic nature often rubs people the wrong way she is rather bubbly and can be fun to be around. Very kind and caring but tries to hide that side of herself. She doesn't want people to know she actually cares. She spends more of her free time with her pet dog, Jurisprudence or '"Juri", in the library trying to find more Lore or doing her school work. She took a first aid course when she was 16 to help take care of the other Midnighters, whom she enjoys to cart around in the Daylight hours.
Sample:
Aerii rested her head on her pile of books with a sigh. There wasn't a single stitch of Lore about what she had seen in the mountains the other day. It had been hideous... and old... very old. Older than dirt old. Her long black hair was messed up and tangled from trying to rid herself of the pounding headache she had from reading so long. Her eyes blurry not from lack of "focus" but because they were tired. Her thick square framed black glasses sat lonely on the far side of her bedroom desk. Open and a little crooked from all the nights she had fallen asleep with them on.
Juri her black lab was by her feet his tail thumping against the hardwood of the floor in a lazy happy beat. Her makeup had long since been washed away and it was now close to midnight. The familiar feel of the impending blue time was a comfort. She didn't have to wear glasses or contacts... her eyes wouldn't hurt from the sun or the too bright moon. She sometimes wished it was like that all the time. Reaching down she pat her dog a few times on the top of his head causing him to roll over asking for a belly rub. Which she freely gave.
"Who's a good boy?" she asked the dog in a playful tone, Juri barked as if to reply just as Midnight rolled in the earth seemed to shudder to a stop and all the nighttime sounds were silenced. "Time to get going I guess." She said to the frozen dog picking up a crowbar she had named "Incontestable" and her back pack full of her first aide supplies and notebooks to write Lore down in.

My next response to @sk0m will round off normal time and start up at the gathering at the Cafe fifteen minuets before Midnight. So, when you guys are all done, speak up and I'll set the stage for Midnight! ^-^
Darklings don't really like numbers in general. Math is too new an invention for them to adjust to. They can't think in complex numbers like that. But, for some reason they like the number 12. It's never explained as to why, but my best assumption is that it's even and in nature symmetry is key. 13 and multiples of it just seem to work the best because it's an odd number after 12. So words with thirteen letters or groupings of thirteen letter words become weapons themselves. You could speak them out loud to harm a something as weak as a Slither, but naming weapons does more effective damage especially against Darklings. In the Midnighters Universe there are 25 hours in a day. The 25th hour is compressed between 12:00 and 12:01 AM, Darklings only live in that compressed one hour so change doesn't come easy to them. They're frozen 24 out of 25 hours of a day so it takes them almost a whole month to live a single day in their incredibly long lives. Change is hard enough when you live in normal time, but imagine if you couldn't keep up. The first cave man discovering fire, you'd be frightened of it.
