Maya Baker – who they think they're getting

Name: Maya Baker

Age: 24

Gender: Female

Appearance:


Personality: Maya is a sweet pharmacist who's always eager to please. Though intelligent, she can be a bit of an airhead and is probably too trusting for her own good. That's yet to get her down, though. She's also much more responsible than her sister, always lecturing (nagging) her whenever Kimi does something they know their parents would disapprove of. So basically, all the time. Maya has no idea about this prize or company because she was in the shower when some squirrelly little man knocked on her apartment door. Kimi was the one to answer.

Kimi Baker – who they're actually getting

Name: Kimberly "Kimi" Baker

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Appearance:


Personality: Kimi was that girl you knew in high school who charmed everyone around her with a pretty smile, and passed mocking looks with her friends about you behind your back. She's clever, but unmotivated. She'll cut any corners she can, usually manipulating someone else to do it. Kimi's ego is only slightly larger than it should be and while she's not as naive as her sister, she tends to overestimate her ability to always land on her feet. She dropped out of college after a semester. No one's exactly sure what she's been doing since then, but everyone's certain it's nothing productive.

Whatever else you want to add: Kimi had just arrived at her sister's apartment, and was planning on staying there for a night or two when a man knocked at the door and handed her a curious (tacky) envelope addressed to Maya, planning prizes, fun, and no scamming of any sort. Right. Kimi could just see Maya obliviously trotting into some back alley with a smile because someone told her she'd won a random contest. Of course, there was also the possibility that this was legit, slim as it was.

Curiosity peaked, (tempered with a heavy dose of skepticism) Kimi decided that there probably wasn't any harm in investigating… If it looked sketchier than the letter already was, then she'd be gone. And if there was anything worthwhile, then hey. Kimi was bored anyway. And she looked enough like Maya if she told these people she dyed her hair and was wearing colored contacts. Decision made, she swiped Maya's ID card and slipped it into her purse, along with a can of mace and a pocket knife that she's surprisingly proficient with.

Personality:

Upon first meeting her, Aja is easy to categorize as "that friendly girl with good grades." And indeed, this is an accurate description. She's helpful and empathetic, has a warm, welcoming air about her, and never fails to achieve impressive marks on her assignments and tests. But while Aja seems like all smiles and sugary sweetness, she's actually rather introverted. She'll wave to people she knows in the halls, and chat with her neighbors in class, but if asked, no one would be able to say who her friend group is. In fact, no one would know much about her at all. Aja is a private person who prefers to reveal only superficial things about herself to others, though she's fine with others confiding in her. The constant smile she wears throughout the day keeps everyone out of her thoughts, and if she was upset about something you would never know.

Many would be surprised to learn that Aja has a very calculating nature. She knows how to assess a situation (or person), how to pick her battles, and how much she can get away with. That's not to say she's ever malicious or outright manipulative – she's just always measuring everything around her. Aja often uses these skills to understand others and put them at ease, though sometimes she does manipulate just a bit to get her way. Aja knows it's easy to be charmed by a young, friendly girl and that people often underestimate her. In her opinion this isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Aja's lack of any real friend group is likely why she gets such good marks – that, and the fact that she's still absolutely fascinated with magic and has some perfectionist tendencies. Because she's often left to her own devices, she spends most of her free time in the library or garden, learning new spells or finding other ways to entertain herself. Aja loves a challenge and has a hidden competitive streak a mile long. She is adaptable and can thrive in most environments, but is surprisingly stubborn when it comes to certain, more personal beliefs and practices. This applies to the few people she truly cares about, also. If you manage to win her loyalty she is fiercely protective and unendingly caring, but thus far only her family can claim this status – her big brother, Ollie, in particular.

Biography:

Growing up the middle child of nine was chaotic, to say the least. The Kays are a high-income family from Chicago, though you wouldn't believe it from the state of their house: while big enough for eleven people to live comfortably in, it's always in a constant state of disrepair. Most of the money goes towards things like food, electricity, food, water, clothes, school, and food. Aja's childhood, while always a clamoring mess, was a happy one.

Though a Muggle-born, she knew about the existence of magic long before she received her acceptance letter to Salem's – her oldest brother, Olorun, got his own letter when Aja was just five years-old. The entire family was astonished, of course. Not only was magic very much real, but little Ollie was a wizard! While surprising, this also cleared up several mysteries surrounding the boy; the uncanny way he could quiet his siblings when he was trying to do homework, how he somehow got his sister's flower to bloom for her after she pouted that it wasn't "waking up yet," how easily he fixed his brother's action figure after it was launched out of a second story window… suddenly there was an explanation for why the eldest child was so gifted.

Once the family finally knew the rhyme and reason for these strange events, they began noticing the same pattern with Aja. It wasn't until Ollie came home for winter break, however, that their suspicions were confirmed. Of all her siblings, Aja had always been the closest with Ollie. She adored her big brother, and Ollie doted on her even more than their parents did. When he'd left for boarding school, Aja'd been devastated to lose her brother, but all the more devoted to him when it was revealed he could do magic. When he finally came home, she all but tackled him with a hug, and wouldn't leave his side for hours. She babbled on and on about all he'd missed at home, and peppered him with questions about magic and his new life as he unpacked. Her eyes lit up when they fell on his wand, and like the curious little girl she was, she picked it up. Unfortunately, the moment her fingers closed around the hilt, all the lightbulbs in the house blew up.

With this final confirmation that Aja was a witch, she began playing more and more with her magical abilities. Eventually she actually got pretty good at directing her magic – at least, as good as she could get without a wand or any real knowledge of spells. She learned to entice wild animals to come to her, make her mom think her room was cleaner than it actually was, and change the colors of her toys, among other things. She was, and still is to this day absolutely delighted with magic. At first the other Kay siblings didn't know how to react to their magical brother and sister. Some were jealous, others were enthralled, but eventually everyone just accepted them as more quirks in their eclectic family.

Aja's first year at Salem's was also Ollie's last. She was sorted into the same house as him, and throughout the year the two could often be seen together at night in the common room, working on homework or teasing each other. Ollie had a friend group of his own that he'd have fun with, but whenever Aja wasn't with her brother, she was alone. When the two went home for break, Aja took full advantage of having a seventeen year-old brother. Ollie was no longer underage and thus could freely use magic outside of school – which meant that as long as Aja practiced her spells near him, the Republic of Magic wouldn't be able to tell which of the two was casting outside of Salem's. Ollie (and their parents) was disapproving at first, but he'd never been able to deny his little sister anything, and if there was one thing Aja was good at, it was getting her way. She even got Ollie to teach her some of the more advanced spells.

This continued even after Ollie graduated, as he continued to live in their family house to help take care of his younger siblings. He currently works in Chicago's wizarding world in a vet's office for magical pets. As for Aja, she's continued her studies at Salem's without her brother. By all accounts, she's a friendly girl and a good student, but no one seems to know anything about her besides that.

could i make a character who wasn't actually chosen? like, her sister was, but the two look enough alike to pass for each other to people who don't know them, and for one reason or another the character goes in her sister's place?

Virtual Reality: Or How I Learned to Stop Thinking and Love the Bob-omb! (A Comedy RP)

I'm interested. This still accepting?

The Gifted: A Fast Paced Superpower RP (Relaunch)

Aya's first instinct was to flinch away from Owlman as he came up to her, talons reaching and a series of agitated hoots escaping him. But she managed to stop herself as understanding passed through her. He wasn't angry – not at her, at least. He was distressed. Confused. Aya scrunched her eyebrows together and gave a small shake of her head.

"I'm sorry, I don't…" she trailed off. She had no idea what he was trying to tell her. Sure, this was a stressful situation, but Owlman hadn't been like this just moments ago. What had set him off? Aya went through the scene in her head again. Her eyes widened then as realization suddenly struck her.

He doesn't know about the Reformists. About Cedric.

That was right… Owlman had been unconscious when the base fell. He'd gone down after her – after Sebastian's attack. A giggle very nearly spilled out of Aya at the thought. Hah. The poor sap.

Aya brought the heel of her hand up to her forehead and massaged, gritting her teeth together and squeezing her eyes shut. She opened them again and looked up at Owlman with new understanding.

"It'll… it'll be ok, alright? Everything'll be ok." She had no right to promise that, but this really wasn't the time to drop potentially earth-shattering news on Owlman. "We'll sort everything out when we get off this ship, I promise. But right now we have to move." Aya hesitated a moment before slowly curling her fingers into a loose grip around the base of Owlman's hand and giving a slight tug towards the door. "Please." With that, she followed after Light.

Well, if he's a meta then he was abducted. I assumed your side story thing was like a flashback to what he was doing before the aliens happened, and he's just sleeping through the space battle thing.

Aya had to stop herself from sighing in relief when it seemed like everyone actually managed to calm down. There were still some tensions but honestly she'd expected everyone to be at each other's throats by now. She flinched when she heard some sort of demented roar echoing down the hall. Camille spoke up and Aya paused when she saw how the smaller girl's eyes lit up. She raised an eyebrow, immediately distrustful of anything Camille thought was a good idea. On instinct, she snapped to the astral plane, eyes widening at what she saw.

Tentacles. Thick, white, and probing, coming from the direction of that inhuman screeching. Memories jumped back to her, both her own and Sebastian's, from that day that seemed so long ago. The day the Reformists all but fell. She jumped back to her body.

"Oh hell no," she said, unable to stop herself. "We are not going towards that thing. That mindless freak leveled the Reformist base like it was nothing! And no one can control it but Isabella, and it sounds pissed." Aya didn't like the idea of going up against anything that couldn't be reasoned with. Or maybe it was just anything she couldn't talk herself around. "We head that way, we'll be lucky if it doesn't kill us, or even blow a hole in the side of the ship."

Aya scrunched her eyebrows together and ran a hand through her hair. "We do need to keep moving though… Why don't we go and look for the control room? Ships have that, yeah? If you're right and a bunch of the aliens are gonna head towards that sound, then we can just let your Boogeyman take care of them. I don't think we wanna get involved in that crossfire."
