Current It's been three years since we lost Polymorpheus, a dear friend. It's felt like a lot longer, that time. I still think about Poly every so often, and how I miss them so very much. I won't forget them.

Bio

uhhhh, hi there

I am here and I sorta exist so yes this is my ‘bio’ and it will probably be rather brief and suck and be sloppy, just like me.
So, without further ado..

stuff about me

Most people call me Barti or Bart as well as a few other things since it’s just easier or meaner than the actual thing - I invite you to do so as well.

I’m a 23-year-old (bday June 20th!) Texan who enjoys thunderstorms and rain far too much, and likes anime, running, metal music, and copious amounts of DRUGS candy, among many other cool things - like DnD and MTG.

I enjoy group rps as well as 1x1s. For groups I have what I think is a decent array of interests, most of it being profusely weeb-y. I like Fantasystuffs (Modern especially), supernatural themes, pretty much all Japanese stuff - including historically accurate settings - as well as general dark/grim themes, comedic slice of life trash, academy rps, unique plots, etc. etc. As for 1x1s I pretty much do romance, but I can do non-romantic stuff too if you give me something to work with xP
The only genre I find myself not entirely comfortable with is really sci-fi stuff, but, if the plot/idea catches me enough it can hold my interest. Oh, and my writing level is high casual to low advanced.

I’m a sarcastic, snarky, bipolar-depressed, degenerate garbage can, but generally people seem to like me (I don’t know why in the hot hell you would) - but if you would also like to be my friendo lemme know.
I don’t bite.
Usually owo xd rawr

welppp...I guess that’s okay for now
thanks for reading, you potatoes

"Mmm, fine...but you owe me big time~"




Name: Katalya Akiyama

Nickname(s): Kat.

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Appearance: Katalya is slightly above average in height, standing at 5’5”, and weighs about 175lbs. Her light gray hair falls to about her collarbone, being just long enough for her to keep it up in a ponytail or do other small cute things with it, if she wanted - though it is very rare that she does. Her eyes appear to be a dark, watery teal, and are often very watchful of small details. She general keeps a rather neutral expression, but her friends can quickly change that.

Her wardrobe usually consist of duller colors - but you never know what fashion piece she’ll add to her outfit next, being that she’s often looking for new designs - though she usually tests these on her friends before herself.

Personality: When it comes to personality, Katalya is a rather reserved person. She prefers to watch a situation rather than attribute to the chaos, and is generally rather good at coming up with plans while others are discussing out loud.

However, that demeanor totally changes when she’s engaged with her friends. To them, she’s a playful, sarcastic, fun-poking companion who loves to make them smile, cry, and blush - even if she’s rather susceptible to that last one herself.

She’s quite slow to trust others, which makes her bond with her friends all the more special.

Short Biography: Kat lived a pretty simple life throughout her younger years up until she was almost twenty. She lived with her mother in a modest home in New Bark Town for all her life, making a few friends along the way. Her father was never around - in fact, she’s only seen him a handful of times. Something she still doesn’t understand and kinda resents.

In the later years of her teen life, misfortune fell upon the household when her mother began to fall ill. Katalya did her best to take care of her mother in any way possible, but her efforts were proven fruitless when she eventually became completely bedridden. Soon after she was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Yet, still her father did not come to visit. He sent money - but what good was that?? They needed him.

For almost a year Kat stayed by her mother’s bedside, fetching whatever she wanted even at the tiniest signs of discomfort. She often tried to comfort her by smothering her in her fashion creations - little costumes she made her Pokémon wear, specially-made scarfs, and other things. However, after a time, her mother beckoned her over to the bed. She wanted her daughter to leave her side. But why?

Of course, Kat refused - but her mother was persistent. She implored her daughter to travel the region - to follow her own desires and dreams. She knew how badly little Kat had always wanted to travel and discover new Pokémon to study and tailor her creations after.

After weeks of discourse, Kat reluctantly agreed to follow her mother’s wishes - which she said would make her very happy. But, she promised to have a letter for her every time her mother’s Bisharp came to visit. She didn’t like leaving her mother’s side, but if it would make her happy...she could understand that.

Pokemon:


Reason for Traveling with Main Group: Katalya travels the region with her friends in order to see new Pokémon - hoping to study and perhaps catch some, in order to gain new inspirations for her various fashion creations. Whether they be for people, Pokémon, or something other - she’s always intrigued when it comes to fun, cool, and cutesy designs.

Relationships:


Other:
  • Katalya’s speech color is C1CDCD.
  • Her Sneasel, Lily, was not caught by Katalya, but was instead caught by her mother and gifted to her when she was 16.
  • Being a mutual friend between the two, Cho Toyama and Dante DiAngelo met through Kat - something she’s very glad for.
Raine Provostus

Raine continued his next few steps toward the elevator as the other two members of the trio tried to bring themselves to their senses. At least until he drew closer and stopped, at Adelicia’s behest. He mentally paused - she thought he was going to hurt her. It was not a new feeling for him; his reputation as ex-Harrow preceded him, even if he didn’t talk much about it - but in the moment it has caused him to pause. He’d just saved her, but-

The words repeated themselves in his head.

“Please don’t kill me.”

It’d been a while since he’d felt a chill run up his spine. His cold eyes moved to hers - but, noticing her gaze was elsewhere, he followed it to the equally-as-cold weapon in his hand, held down to his side. The dark crimson lifeblood slowly dripping from it and quietly spattering onto the cobble below. His grip shifted slightly and the sound of metal shifting against metal could be heard in the silence after his companions’ words - a heavy drop of beast blood now flicking up to spatter on his shirt.

His gaze rose again as his other hand moved to his lower back, tucking in his firearm somewhere behind him. “I’m not going to kill you.” He said as he turned back his right shoulder and faced away from the lift again. “As Hunter Victor said -- we are protecting you.”

He began walking away, deliberate steps in the direction they’d previously been headed. He supposed he couldn’t blame Adelicia. He was a Hunter - a killer. A beast prone to bloodthirst. She was naturally desirable - and vulnerable - to such a beast. The truth was, he couldn’t smell the scent of the Saint as he walked away.

When he found himself a couple dozen feet away, he let out a weary breath, allowing his lungs to fill with air once again.

“We’ll have to expedite our movement. Beasts will have heard the gunshots.”

Katalynn’s smile held as Alura assured her that she needn't sleep on the couch. She lightly nodded in gratefulness to the girl, finding her muscles relax a bit - she hadn’t known how others would react to her before, but it seemed as if she didn’t need to worry.

She also nodded again in agreement to her next statement, but paused. A bit about herself? Well...what was there to tell? All she knew of herself was what had come to happen within the last year.

She took on a more contemplative expression, her head tilting ever so slightly. “Well, uhh.. I like reading,” She began, her hands in front of her lap as she twiddled her fingers subconsciously. “..and I like meeting new animals, too. And - Oh! - and TV! I do so love TV.” She said with a smile returning to her lips. She’d seen so many things from TV in her time at Mother’s house. There were people on the screen that told of so many tales and useful info. Dramas, documentaries, seemingly living drawings - all things she’d watched and been entranced by the magicality of.

As she listed off some of the things she enjoyed, the other two girls in the room seemed to now turn their attention towards her. Her eyes focused, now distracted from her previous thoughts as they greeted her.

She extended her hand to meet Kate’s, moving it up and down gently as she’d been taught. She tried to make sure to release at a reasonable moment this time. “It is nice to meet you also, Kate Carson.” She returned with a content smile.

She turned to the Candelabra, her smile turning down a little. “Why would it be a misfortune, room-mate Jackie?” She inquired, her eyes glancing about the exotic figure in front of her. Her gaze scanned over the girl - not probingly or analytical in the appearance of her eyes, but rather, curious. She extended her hand out to her as well, palm open and fingers relaxed. “You are from Canada?? Your brethren look way different on the TV-“ She said, encouragement seeping into her tone, “-but it is nice to meet you!”

Katalynn released her grip on her baggage as one of the girls in the room greeted her with a big smile - a welcoming gesture. She extended her arm to receive Alura’s hand, offering a modest shake. The girl’s friendly demeanor seemed to visibly put the Dullahan at ease - at least a little. “Greetings - Alura,” She said with less apprehension than before, “Mother has granted me the name Katalynn.” There was a hint of pride in her voice as she said it, as if she were telling of a gift she’d been given. But she seemed to falter a moment as a thought registered in her head. “Share rooms?”

She’d never shared a room with anybody before besides Mother. For a matter of fact, she’d never had a sleep over or anything remotely similar. She’d hardly even talked to people of her age before - even though she did sometimes go to the park or the mall - but Mother had always been nearby. So right now was something like another entirely new world for her.

Her unoccupied hand fidgeted a little with the seam of her skirt as she continued her conversation with the black-haired girl with whom she was still shaking hands. She’d yet to get used to the modern handshake, it seemed; she let go. Well...if sharing is undesired, I can sleep in the communal room. On the couch.” She offered timidly to the shorter girl.

Her eyes passed to the two other girls a little bit beyond the first - one wielding something Mother had called a “camera” and the second was a rather...foreign-looking person. One she didn’t recognize at all. She hoped they were as friendly as Alura seemed - which she was sure they were, seeing that their conversation appeared pretty cordial. They were apparently taking photos.

Kat had only had her photo taken very few times, something Mother had described as “saving memories” for later. One especially memorable one had been when she had first used the television. She’d been completely entranced, and the photo depicted a wide-eyed, popcorn-munching girl in a brand new pink rabbit onesie - her favorite bedtime attire. She wasn’t sure how she’d feel if someone else wanted to take her picture besides Mother - but it’d been fine so far. Her gaze turned back to Alura, interrupting her own thoughts.

“I don’t mind.” She finished with a slight, encouraging smile.
Eh? What a coincidence x3 I’ve always had somewhat of a fascination with Romania and some of the culture, so I’m glad I was able to incorporate some of that into the character(for the first time, woohoo) and make what I feel is a decent Bio. I have never done much traveling, but if I had the chance Romania would be a place I’d wanna go.
Thanks xP little typo there

Edit: Nice! ^^ thank you Caas
This seems like good fun. I’ll see what I can come up with, if you’ll have me.
