So quiet little communities out in the wilderness then, sounds nice.

Possibly. Just a starting idea :P

Unless that person can convince the dragon that they are a bagel.I jest, but I figure they must have some form of retirement plan for Shifters, even the best soldiers can break under the strain of war, and most Shifters have enough power that they are capable of killing on a mass scale, sort of like how the Finnish machine-gunners frequently got PTSD after a couple of hours simply because they were killing so many Russians.

I don't have anything planned for a retirement plan, but when you mentioned it I had an idea: If/When the war is over, they can be sent to a sort of camp in the wilderness where some Mythics live away from society. Sort of like Camp Half-Blood in Percy Jackson, but much calmer and not a place where you're trained. Just a place where you can live among equals. Or, well, superiors if you're just a Shifter.

So what about the unmanagable ones? do they lock them up somewhere like a high security prison and keep them isolation from the public?

They have a dragon twice the size of a villa. I think he has enough intimidation factor to make them go "Alright... I'll listen. Please don't eat me!" xD
But seriously, it's a millitary facility, so every one is trained to become a soldier. There aren't very many unmanageble ones because they are broken and then built back up. Just like any soldier.

True. But my character was still on good terms with her parents. I imagine she'd kind of like to keep that relationship intact, and returning to the Academy probably wouldn't exactly be great for that. Aside from pressuring her not to, no, they wouldn't actually be able to stop her. But they could definitely try. Unless of course, like Eldritch mentioned, there's something that says students are obligated to complete the three years. There's probably some sort of liability issues with just creating human/mythic hybrids and letting them loose on society. XD

pretty much... :p They're not likely to just let you go. As it is, you are bound by contract to stay, more or less. Not only is it expensive, but they aren't going to just let someone as powerful as your characters run around on your own :p It's quite a danger, plus the Mythics are going to be pretty miffed about giving some of their being only to have the person run off :P

It's a bit sad, really. Once a Shifter, always a Shifter. As far as the humans & shifters know, you'll be bound to the Academy for as long as you live.

I work them together, but I always work out how he'll be like, first. It's a sort of guidelines, and as I make a personality, I make a story with it. Then I just elaborate and extend on the little version I make

Alright. That works :)

Anywho, guys. I'ma head off. Night!

I'd always thought they'd and left her on the street. If they're still alive and left her because they didn't want her... damn.Wait, if she never had any parents was she grown in a test tube? It's the 'Luminati! They're the ones behind this!But hey, it seems that all of us have a lot of suck in our backstories, no clear winner there.

Lily does have parents... but why she was orphaned. Who knows? Perhaps Max is her biological dad who just lost his home and did his best to take care of her? :p I actually don't know, but eh xD

Yeah, there is huge psychological abuse happening there, but thats also present in Alice as well, plus Lily's parents never brought about a situation were one of her limbs had to be replaced with cybernetics, which Alice's did. Overall though, I'd say you both had pretty shit parents. Sindri's were nice, honest people, but they died way too early for him to not feel some psyche trauma over it, especially his Mum who basically gave up on fighting the cancer after the death of her husband and left him alone in the world, he's pretty insecure about that.Personally I don't know whether to consider Lily calling Ikari "Mom" would be cute or just kinda disturbing, depends how you show it.

Both did indeed have shit childhoods, so let's stick with that :P

As for the whole mom thing... I'm not sure if she'd outright say it, but she might view her as a motherfigure simply because of how much they are alike (the nine tails and that), and because she has never really had anyone she could call a parent save perhaps Max.

I'm still unsure about the personality of my character. Vicious? Simply silent and cold? Idk. He'll be distanced, for sure, but there will be two things for someone to get him if they want him to be friendly: Fruit mixes, like a bowl of pineapple and strawberries and stuff, and desserts. :3Food bribes = good with my character.Maybe he'll be more like the lazy type, but once he gets going he doesn't stop

You shouldn't make up a personality. The personality should be a byproduct of his background: Why did he become as he is?

Depends whether you consider a lack of parents worse than a parent who is training you into single purpose tool of war, I'd argue the latter was worse simply because its prolonged and physical abuse rather than Lily's non existent parents who aren't there to abuse her, despite leaving her in an ultrashit situation.

I'd say Lily would argue against it, saying that being abandoned like that, to watch with envy as all other kids were picked up by their parents while knowing that she herself would never experience that, was worse than parents who pushed you to the edge and beyond. At least they had parents, she'd argue.

Which makes me think... I wonder how Ikari would react if Lily started calling her "Mom" xD Might make Ikari a sort of mother-figure for her, or rather, have Lily see her like that.

Probably, the stuff Alice's dad did sounds like the parenting shown in HANNA.

Monochromatic Rainbow said
Does that mean I get to reclaim the sucky parent award for the RP?

Just ignore the orphaned girl who never had any fucking parents and left her to rot on the street :p

I think my shifter is more of a Demon: the Manticore. More sneakiness and cleverness and speed than strength. Jabs with his tail, for sure, but they aren't going to be like punches; it'll rely on lightning-speed and penetration to get the job done, than bashing the enemy's skull in.

You may go for that, but unless you make it rather small (humanoid sized, a great dane-bear-sized thing) it'll be a Titan. If you make it that small, it can go under Demon.
