I think I'm going to have to drop this roleplay. I think I let myself fall behind in IC and I'm not sure I'll have the time to catch up and write decent posts for Dee. Thanks for understanding :)

_______________________________________________ Felix Alexander Brooks _______________________________________________ 16 | ♀ | Bisexual _______________________________________________ Physical Profile ___________________________________ [+] //Basics: • Height | 5'11" • Weight | 180 lb. • Ethnicity | White • Hair Colour | Dark brown • Eye Colour | Blue //Piercings/Tattoos/Scars: • Various scars | Felix has small scars along his hands that help portray that he's an active, handy person. He has blisters along the palms of his hands from weightlifting and his grip is course and rigid from strenuous use with his hands. Abilities, Skills and Resources ___________________________________ [+] //Abiliites: • Force Field Manipulation | Felix is capable of manipulating force energy from elements, the environment, or from the power of his mind and body to form shields, walls, and barriers. The force field can be created in various shapes and forms, but is generally created as bubbles, walls, and barriers to save from overcomplicating things or exerting too much energy. Thus, he's capable of binding, protecting, applying force, and creating fields along the surface of his body for increased power or strength. • Limitation(s) | Over exertion of Felix's powers can lead to him becoming weak physically and mentally, generally resulting in him passing out. Extensive force fields require a lot of focus and energy -- thus, bigger force fields will be harder to maintain. While damage to the shield first chips at Felix's psychic power, prolonged use can deal phsyical harm to his body. Multi-tasking while conjuring a shield is more difficult, ie. creating more than one shield at once or moving while forming shields. • Weakness(es) | Felix is weak to anyone, or thing, that can surpass his shields. //Skills: • Strength, stamina, and mobility | As a very physically fit guy, Felix maintains his strength by exercising regularly and staying consistent with a strict diet that promotes muscle growth and strong health. Being placed in sports from a young age, Felix manages to find himself to be pretty mobile with his evident heavy stature. //Paraphenalia: • Backpack full of things | As a result of being at the school more often than not, he carries around his backpack all the time. Within that backpack, he has his iPhone X, a bunch of various textbooks and notebooks, pens and pencils, random snacks, his MacBook, and a change of clothes for gym class.

Appearance Details ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ A broad physique with exceptionally toned muscles help to give Felix his 'hot jock' indentifier of his school. He stands tall and proud, walking with confidence, conviction, and motivation while unintentionally intimidating any acquaintences that he comes across. A stern expression seems to always be present, masking any underlying emotions that he may have. A small, yet consistent habbit of clenching his teeth bring attention to his chiseled jawline that frame his otherwise soft features. Felix's blue eyes display vividly between dark eyelashes, often being depicted first when facing most people. Felix's style typically consists of his varsity letter football jacket, but as of late, he sports more casual clothes. He chooses to wear clothes that are plain and not loud, the majority of his wardrobe being that of neutral colors to pair with jeans or chinos, topped off with either white or black sneakers. Aside from a more mundane way of dressing, Felix is always sure to leave the house with his hair styled nicely, taking pride in his hair cut that he gets from his barber nearly every two weeks. Character Synopsis ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Felix was raised by parents who believed that everything needed to be placed within a system, whether it be as simple as household chores or as complicated as finding control within unmonitored societies of people, all in hopes to ensure prosperity and security in the end. Almost everybody knows of his parents and their influence throughout New Hampshire since they held so many titles such as: business people, social activists, founders of donation organizations, etc. The list has become much too long to cite every professional title that they take great pride in -- thus it is safe to say that they are, in fact, undoubtedly strict. With an ambitious and motivated personality developing within Felix, he was placed within competitive sports and activities at an early age to help construct good traits for future success. His parents were very hard on him, expecting more than just his best, which caused Felix to begin to grow with a lot of self-discipline, but also a need to continuously impress his parents to try and win their sparse acceptance. As he went through his childhood watching his parents boast in their success and their movements within societies, he began to become so immersed in trying to live up to their potential until he began to drown in a sea of rigorous classes and intense sports. Suffocating by the need to improve more substantially, Felix's body began to change with his motivation to rise above the adversities that seemed to kill him. In this case, he needed a way to be better than his best and these changes took him to the football stadium on a cold October night in which they were facing a rivaling team. The chances of victory were slim and as quarterback, the pressure was placed on him to succeed -- which became easier with the dawn of his hyperhuman abilities. As the game began to conclude, Felix utilized these new found powers by casting transparent force fields around the surface of his uniform, causing him to ram through everybody that attempted to tackle him. Although that particular game was seen as a huge victory at the time, Felix illegally used his powers covertly to take the team to bigger and better things. This, in turn, gave him praise from the school population and many schools surrounding the town -- his name being known for his many victories. On the contrary, Felix had other intentions by this. The strictness of his parents became more at ease since they saw Felix thriving instead of struggling. His mind began to free itself of the painful anchors that held him back -- but it would all come to a halting stop once he was discovered as a cheater. An opposing team monitored that particular game until they became suspicious of his nearly sudden boost of strength. They suspected his hyperhuman abilities, so they enforced a screening that displayed the usage of his powers. In Felix's defense, he claimed that he was clueless of performing such acts, but he was still undermined, belittled, and forced to quit, losing any chances at scholarships and acceptances by ivy league schools, but it didn't end in his own bitter defeat. The school lost their lead with football and were forced to quit the season due to an inaccurate presentation of true skill, forcing an abundance of blame onto Felix. In turn, everything began to resurface as harsh as a barrage of nuclear warheads upon a small target -- his self-hatred, the disappointment of his parents, the loss of his popularity, the loss of his opportunities. Thus, Felix goes about his days with a harsh and seemingly chronic depression as he volunteers to join the Hyperhuman Social Conscience Program in hopes for a destiny that could contain even just a sliver of light. Personality ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Since birth, Felix has held a competitive personality much like his parents, finding himself to perform best when he's faced with a challenge. Due to the lack of love given by his parents and family, Felix finds himself trying to impress them at all costs, but from recent events, he has come to a standstill with putting his efforts towards just that. This resulted in the creation of his, now, rather mundane and depressed personality that opposed his once motivated ways. A once hardworking individual has become lazy, serious, and untalkative, and since the loss of his friends and girlfriend, Felix interacts with very few people while he maintains this very dry, colorless personality. The days go by slow for him as he's lost in which direction to steer his life, secretly hoping for something to give him purpose again. Miscellaneous ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ • Felix is the middle child of two siblings which strongly influence his continuous internal battles. He's subject to be better than his dead beat elder brother, while being a strong role model for his fourteen year old younger sister. • Felix has had one long relationship with a beautiful blonde babe that matched his social status at his school, but due to the fall of his popularity, they have recently underwent a harsh break up. Aside from this, Felix has hooked up with a handful of girls, and has experimented with one or two guys. Random Accumulated Facts - Takes his coffee with a little cream - Loves the sausage biscuits from Joe's Cafe: a local cafe that makes their own pastries every night. A super trendy spot. Also enjoys their peppermint mocha that they offer in the winter time. - His favorite colors are the colors of the foliage. Fall colors. - Loves nature and outdoor activities: hiking, jogging, snowboarding, camping, etc. - Used to be in boy scouts: was actually decent at it. - Really enjoys soft acoustic music. Can also play guitar, but not very well. - A little below average academically

He has blisters along the palms of his hands from weightlifting and his grip is course and rigid from strenuous use with his hands. About Felix ___________________________________ [+] //Occupation: • Stripper | Felix works at a stripclub that is tucked into a corner of Rebecca’s Hole. Though the windows are tinted dark and the advertising for the business is minimal, it’s clear what services they provide to the public. Felix finds some sense of shame in this occupation, but nonetheless executes his job effortlessly. The job entails what many imagine a stripping job would be, but also finds himself prostituting informally. Although he wouldn’t refer to it as prostitution, he has sold himself to many people for money. • BA in Music Performance | Despite Felix’s persona of being a typical frat boy with countless secrets beneath the surface of his masculine exterior, he has a proud passion for classical music. Felix is honing his talent of music performance with his cello, hoping one day he’ll be able to play for many companies, orchestras, etc. //Occupancy at Redwoods: Recently moved in

Appearance Details ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ A broad physique with exceptionally toned muscles help to give Felix his 'hot jock' indentifier at Silvervale University. He stands tall and proud, walking with confidence, conviction, and motivation while unintentionally intimidating any acquaintances that he comes across. Felix generally has a smirk or smile on his face, whether it be genuine or not, in an attempt to hide his threatening guise. This makes him relatively hard to read, since he will bottle his emotions and release them in other ways than his facial expressions. Occasionally, he’ll flash a smile that’ll reveal the deep dimple within his right cheek, mostly in attempts to charm whomever he’s conversing with. Although, the mixture of his flirtatious mannerisms and his near-perfect, symmetrical facial features tend to do the trick. It is true that Felix does spend precious time maintaining his chiseled, prepossessing body, but it’s a false rumor that he spends time tanning. Somehow, Felix has a natural tan that is relatively even from head to toe that compliments his light-colored hair and hazel eyes. All these factors help to add to his bronze look, helping his muscle tone appear that much sharper and his teeth that much whiter. Felix's style varies depending on his mood or the event he’s going to. Since he lives a busy schedule, he’s often wearing comfortable, sporty clothing. Joggers, cotton shirts, and baseball caps dominate his wardrobe while his preferred, preppy clothing remains nearly untouched. Character Synopsis ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Felix was raised by parents who valued image over all else. Being the only boy of the 5 children they had, a lot of expectation was placed on him. It was instilled in him that he was to grow up in an extreme, masculine way. Blood, sweat, and tears were shed throughout his childhood to fit a mold that was so carefully sculpted by the influences of his life -- primarily the influence of his parents. Since he could remember, his father spent a lot of time teaching him the many things it was to become a man by society’s eyes, harboring in him many talents. Sports, self-defense, handiwork, survival skills, and other traits were introduced into his life, leaving him with a busy schedule revolving around self-development towards a respected man. While an upbringing such as this was stressful, it was also beneficial and made up a lot of who Felix is today. But Felix could only be secluded so much from the strong, feminine influence of his home. Music progressed it’s way into Felix’s life and he was in awe of this foreign realm of expression and beauty. It wasn’t long before it was woven securely between the masculinity of his personality, and he spent a lot of his time learning and listening to music. This is what he decided to do in his free time, something that he genuinely enjoyed and wanted to pursue with his life. The softness of music contrasted everything he was born and raised to be, finally finding a sense of balance within his life. Oddly enough, this helped him in countless ways. Pressingly, he confessed to his parents that he wanted to pursue music after high school. Despite playing well enough to actually have a successful career, they denied this dream of his and requested that he choose something else for his life. Felix spent weeks of mental battles with himself until he eventually broke the mold and ensured his decision on his future. His parents refused to provide any financial support for his career path, but he continued anyway. It was then that he auditioned for Silvervale University and was accepted into their Music Performance program. It was scary at first for him, but he found his independence through making his own path, despite standing alone with his decision. He gets by through hard work and dedication, doing his best to be somewhat financially stable while trying to master his talent with the cello. Felix lived in the dormitory for the first three years, meeting new people and making a lot of new friends. Many parts of the world began opening up that were once sheltered away from him. He became well-liked, appreciated, understood, and valued. The support that surrounded him at the university was unlike any he had before. Coming up on this new year, he decided to move into an apartment to press onward to a new stage of independence. Personality ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ • Protective • Independent • Flirty • Nonchalant • Hard Working • Funny • Since birth, Felix has held a charming, humorous personality that generally vibes well with many people he meets. Although the early years of his life were full of minimal contact with people due to his rigorous schedule, he picked up on social ques and events very quickly. Felix now enjoys meeting new people since he hadn’t had the opportunity to before attending the university. But, traits from his childhood are still knit within his mind; it is instilled in Felix to be a protector to those he cares about, being very defensive of those that he befriends. Felix is often times seen as the tough guy of the group that has a soft heart -- somewhere in between a lover and a fighter. Being a guy that has once faced many mental battles and struggles, he is very understanding to those that suffer from things alike. Felix tries to be as kind-hearted as possible, and doesn’t take well to when people dislike him. So he will go to great extremes to try and repaint the picture that people wrongly see of him. Miscellaneous ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ • Felix is the youngest of 5 children, all of them being his older sisters. • Felix has had one long relationship with a beautiful blonde babe that matched his social status at his high school, but due to the turn in his life and his newfound independence prior to college, they split up. The relationship was rocky anyway and he conformed way too much to her craziness. • Felix was popular in his high school, but has recently detached himself from that lifestyle of being the treasured football jock hottie. He is much different now than he was before, so those from his childhood would have different feelings towards Felix. Random Accumulated Facts - Takes his coffee with a little cream - Loves the sausage biscuits from Bert’s Bakes and Coffee.

Abhainn

| Alliance |

Alice puts her efforts and her loyalty to King Maddox of Abhainn, being quite fond of him and growing up to admire him. Though she was only able to become good friends with him, she has a lingering physical and emotional attraction towards him since her childhood. Alice associates herself with all those that follow him, but resents those that go against him or turn their back on him. She has a love for Abhainn and takes pride in her heritage, doing her utmost best to provide care and protection to all the people.

| In Depth Appearance |

Alice is broad, containing masculine features, but still having a curvy, feminine figure. She is tall, standing at 5'10 with long, thick hair showing different shades of blonde through each straggly strand. With fair skin and a clear complexion, her expression is generally the same regardless of what she's feeling, showing little to no emotion through her face. Her mannerisms, on the other hand, are different depending on the situation. A ball calls for noble and feminine mannerisms, delicate and elegant, while the battlefield calls for more barbaric mannerisms. Being a participant in fair amount of battles, Alice is marked with scars on various parts of her body. None of them show any great damage, the majority of them being mere cuts from a blade. She has a small scar along her cheek that is incredibly subtle and often covered with makeup.

Alice's attire ranges from plate armor to beautiful gowns, having a very diverse wardrobe. Neither of which she favors more than her regular townswoman clothes that she'll wear whenever the situation calls for it. Although, being a lady in court requires a very presentable look, calling for noble gowns regardless of the discomfort, and thus leaving her favored outfit unworn. Alice's makeup fluctuates from heavy to light, depending on her mood. Her version of heavy only consists of heavier eye makeup opposed to the overly-powdered face makeup that many noble woman fashion.

| Habits |

• Restlessness || Alice will begin to shake her leg when she's sitting or rub her hands together. This is a cause from having too much energy or simply being impatient. Although she's a noble lady, her very active roots can only be suppressed for so long.
• Humming || Alice will hum when facing boredom or performing tedious tasks to try to make the situation better.

| Hobbies |

• Swordsmanship || Alice has strong enjoyment in the art of swordsmanship, being a very useful asset to the battlefield.
• Tactics and Strategy || Alice enjoys strategizing battle tactics and war plans, but she doesn't exercise this hobby very often anymore since her coming as a noble lady.
• Painting || Alice has a big hobby on painting, especially since it's relaxing and she doesn't partake in battle as often as she used to. Something about the similarity of the brush and blade satisfies her desire for combat.

| Personality |

Generous ✯ Opinionated ✯ Protective ✯ Brave

Alice is a strong-willed, fearless, opinionated, and demanding individual, usually expressing respect only when she's respected. She is a big dweller of the past and holds grudges over people, choosing to not forget the faces of her enemies, especially those that cross her or humiliate her. Alice will relive moments in which she's embarrassed, humiliated, powerless, or weak and turn it into anger, resulting in a strong desire to get revenge on those that cause such feelings. Along the lines of remembering actions of rage, she also remembers acts of generosity and makes it certain that she expresses her gratitude properly. Alice is also an incredibly sore loser when it comes to certain situations such as losing a bet, failing to learn or understand something, or being one-uped.

Alice is also very defensive of those that she cares about, sometimes going to extents of making great sacrifices for the safety of an individual. While Alice does have a very hard-headed nature, she is a very generous person, enjoying the feeling of giving to those in need and being honored for it in return. Being a protector to the people of Abhainn, she shows no fear to a threatening enemy, regardless of their stature. She holds a different kind of respect for those that are beneath her than those that are of or above her level, or rank, being kinder to those that are lower and being more stern with those that are equal or better.

| Background |

Alice grew up as the daughter of Abhainn's military strategist. Her mother, being a fair lady of the kingdom attempted to raise her as a typical lady of court. With much failure, Alice walked in the footsteps of her father for as long as she could. Being a kid, the freedom to become who you want was granted and encouraged, but taken away once the child reached a primitive age in which it was required for the child to become who they're born to be. For Alice, that was a lady of a royal court, in which she never fit well as. It was strange for a girl child to be so fascinated with war and military politics, but Alice proved to many that she was different in this aspect.

It would be safe to assume that Alice's only interest was the work of her father, but her child-like nature would find it's way out and the enjoyment of other children was much appreciated. Although, one in particular was always enjoyed more than others. The Prince Maddox, charming and handsome to Alice ever since she laid eyes on him, the one boy that would make Alice feel as if she were a normal girl. It wasn't just his appearance and his mannerisms that would draw Alice in, but the respect that he had was something to admire, especially with how awkward and different Alice was. She did everything in her power to be near to him, but there came a time in which, not just them, but all children were required to grow up to become the succeeding generation of noble men and woman. Alice would sneak out to see him sometimes, not to fancy him or seduce him, but to enjoy his company and laugh as if they were still children.

Aside from love interests, growing up for Alice involved the hilt of a blade in one hand and the handle of a buckler in the other, her loving father unable to take this strange hobby from her. This hobby became stronger which eventually turned into a dream to become the next military strategist for Abhainn, regardless of the gender boundaries that morality brought. At this point, Alice had no interest in learning the mannerisms of becoming a lady, but as soon as she began her teenage years, her lack of knowledge for proper woman etiquette became apparent and disrespectful. Thus, she was limited to the war room and was forced to wear the uncomfortable dresses that she loathed. Alice longed for the day that she could go back to her old ways, struggling to learn the many skills a noble woman possessed, but those childhood days were over and a new type of strict training was presented.

During Alice's late teenage years, she was back in the war room and only eying the coming King Maddox from a distance. It wasn't long before her father became ill and the war officers were in distress to find a replacement. As many heroic tales would go, Alice would be the assumed successor for the role, but the sexism that existed strongly in this era casted that dream aside, though she was still welcomed to the table for strategic input. Instead of one person making the calls, it worked more like a democracy where the war officers voted on what actions were best, but Alice's talent with strategy became incredibly useful and her persuading words often lead to the better decisions, resulting in many victories. During these years, Alice finally partook in battle and even lead a legion of men once she became comfortable with the harshness of war and killing. It was kept quiet among the nobles since her victorious actions and her incredible battle prowess were seen as unladylike, but the rumors of the people spread and now it remains unknown whether Alice was the true battle-maiden that the people praised.

As of late, Alice is cooped up in the kingdom since a new military general was welcomed into the war room and Alice was ruled out of the military. It was a rough time being casted away from something she was so successful at, but she now tries to enjoy the noble life. The only positive part of becoming a full-time noblewoman is being closer to King Maddox, a childhood love interest whom still holds Alice's heart. Her beautifully crafted battle equipment lays unused in the corner of her chambers, and the noble gowns that were carefully sewn are now making an appearance. With a change in lifestyle, Alice hopes to find balance and enjoyment in whatever it is that she should become.

| Extra |

Alice commonly dreams of the future, wondering what kind of advances would happen hundreds of years down the line. Hopefully a better form of travel than horses...

Alice's father is still alive, but bed-ridden from a terminal illness.

Alice becomes uneasy when she's faced with situations that confuse her, resulting in loss of sleep until she unravels the truth.

Alice is also very defensive of those that she cares about, valuing the protection of others in and out of the battlefield, but also finding difficulty in making decisions requiring sacrifices. While Alice does have a very hard-headed nature, she is a very generous person, enjoying the feeling of giving to those in need and being honored for it in return. Being a protector to the people of Virtiron, she shows no fear to a threatening enemy, regardless of their intimidating stature or title. She holds a different kind of respect for those that are beneath her than those that are of or above her level, or rank, being kinder to those that are lower and being more stern with those that are equal or better.

Alice grew up as the daughter of Virtiron's greatest military strategist, Sebastian Allaire. Her mother, being a respected lady of the kingdom attempted to raise her as a typical lady within her footsteps. With much failure, Alice walked in the path of her father for as long as she could. Being a kid, the freedom to dream and become who you want was encouraged, but also taken away once the child reached the primitive age to become who they're born to be. For Alice, it was planned for her to be a stunning young woman with typical talents of a lady, but that lifestyle was never meant for her. It was strange for a girl child to be so fascinated with war and military politics, but Alice proved to many that she was different in this aspect.

It would be safe to assume that Alice's only interest was the work of her father, but her child-like nature would find it's way out and the enjoyment of other children was much appreciated. Although, one in particular was always enjoyed more than others.

Alice would sneak out to see him when they reached their teenage years, not to fancy him or seduce him, but to enjoy his company and laugh as if they were still children. Those days eventually dwindled until they merely passed each other in the halls of the court, or dealt with political matters.

Aside from love interests, growing up for Alice involved the hilt of a blade in one hand and the handle of a buckler in the other, her loving father unable to take this strange hobby from her. This hobby became stronger which eventually turned into a dream to become the next military strategist for Vertiron, regardless of the gender boundaries that morality brought.

Artemis is an ever-changing woman. For years, she was commanded, ordered, and trained to become a mold crafted by a system of leaders who relentlessly strived for control. Once bound by the chains of manipulation, she has broken free to become anew with bursting emotions that she can freely express without fear of consequences. The next chapter of her life unfolded into a complex chain of new beginnings, granting her the key to unlock so many doors that she never realized were available to her. Whom was once compliant and unresisting to her fearful overseers, has become a woman of fortitude while retaining the might of her zealous heart.

A soldier, a spy, a killer, an elite—they demanded it all. All in which she longs to forget, but stains her body and mind worse than the blood of her victims. Of the titles she collected, her pride remained on one—a protector. Although it came from sinister origins, the title sparked within her a hope for independence in which she now relishes in. Artemis is truly a protector, defending those that cannot defend themselves, or those that she deems worthy of protection. She rises from the ashes of the past, seeking nothing but to be greater than the woman she was yesterday, while remaining present to avoid her haunting roots. Eyes forward, she only glances back to realize the distance she’s traveled and the adversities she’s overcome.

Talented as Artemis may be, her charm doesn’t match her captivating beauty as her serious personality stays firm as steel. Her threatening blue eyes, that give both salvation and fear, glisten with ambition and pierce like a bullet. Her long, blonde hair shines even in the midst of combat and her body remains strong and toned while possessing a feminine curve. Romance has never been her strong suit, valuing her closed walls too much to protect her dignity and her new-found independence.

“They called me the valkyrie.”

Soaring in various aircrafts, her escape has always been within the sky. Becoming a pilot of the Devlon Industries was always an honor, but Artemis strived to master this skill set, craving the high altitudes in times of stress or pain. The way the earth looked so small and the ability to travel far away from her troubles created the perfect outlet for a confined girl. Although she could run, she would always return, but with readiness to face her problems head-on. Artemis’ love for flying was soon noted, and what was a hobby was predictably turned into a way of killing. So she learned the controls of a much different aircraft, ones with complex components that dominated the skies and really placed the union’s name within the domain. With careful learning, they soon built her a signature war jet in which people identified as her pegasus, which made the jet adopt it’s winged aesthetics. Within it was her—Artemis, the Valkyrie.

"I did it all for him. I did everything for him."

The title made her father proud, the man that steered her life into a twisted, robotic destiny that was predetermined since her birth. While their connection was built on a foundation of fear and authority, she held onto the faint love tighter than her gun, despite its sparse existence. This caused her to obey for the sake of the bond she struggled to have, causing her to obediently become a needed weapon for the Devlon Industries. Artemis trained hard with mixed emotions that were bottled up beneath her soul, aching to unleash them, but burying them harshly.

"At times I felt like a robot, incapable of being my own person. And still, I did it for him."

Thus, Artemis proceeded with her life, doing as she was demanded, and performing her best with every task. From spying, to sending messages, to killing without reason—her life was made for her, but with only darkness to look forward to. Since the day she could remember, she had never made a choice of her own and held her opinions back, moving like a pawn in an army, utilizing her combined battle prowess with her eonic powers to become an icon of both hope and destruction for her union. She was known by many, and respected by many, yet the respect from her father was harder than wrestling a lion. Still, she fought, with strength and vigor, until her eyes could see beyond the darkness that adhered to her fate. What lied ahead was nothing but a repetitive life full of blood on her hands and knives in her back.

"Selfish as I was, I finally demanded my life back."

So Artemis opened her mind and unchained her soul, casting out her emotions and accepting the consequences of doing so. Her disobedience was accounted for, and her life was grasped tighter than what it was before, restricting her freedom in anyway that they could—but she evaded. Slipping through their fingers like water, like she was trained to do, Artemis broke free of their painful grip and attempted to lead a rebellion against the Devlon Industries. Although she wreaked havoc upon her controllers, she failed to overthrow the union and came out alone, despite the many followers she was able to muster.

"But does my fate lie at the point of his gun?"

Amidst the rebellion and behind the demolished buildings and ruthless killing, she came out with her treasured independence, but also her self-blame upon failing her loyal advocates just for the sake of, what she considered, a selfish act. So she escaped—soaring on her pegasus and through the dangerous skies, only to be shot down after a long chase through neutral terrain.

"I've accepted death long ago, but I somehow manage to flee from it's crosshairs."

Artemis, reluctantly, made it out alive, finding refuge in Helston. There, she kept her head low, and lived minimalistically thereafter. She got a job at a bakery and learned to love the art, soon taking it over from the elderly lady that opened it.

The tape continued to play among the broken and shattered parts of her pegasus, Artemis’ voice shaking with emotion.

“I remember being captivated by the colors of the field my father took me to when I was a little girl. I was so afraid to release the euphoria that encompassed my body, but he could see the shaking smile that I just couldn’t hold back. So he told me it was okay. Pink—that became my favorite color. The way the lotus petals danced around me pulled the strings of my condemned spirit, causing me to run around in a fit of joy, but I remember constantly looking over my shoulder at him to make sure that he didn’t have a change of heart. It’s a memorable moment for me, from the innocent happiness that I could finally let out. . .but also from the beauty turned evil.

He told me about the lotus flower, how it’s bloom used to be celebrated by many because they only survived for so long. Everything has meaning. Just like my purpose on this earth, the flowers, too, had a predetermined meaning. 'The shortness of life' he said. The flowers resembled the shortness of life, the lives that I would end, the insignificance of survival without purpose—all shattering the beauty I saw in the moment and turning my smile back into my frown. And yet, I remember this so vividly, even as I pressed the barrel of my gun against the head of my father, the commander of the Devlon Industries. I soon realized that he wasn’t the one that kept me aflame, but instead, he ignited the fire in my soul and I learned to nurture it.

Who knew I would be the one to send him to his grave. But still—I love him.”

Meredith Evans - The elderly woman that generously took in Artemis. Artemis hasn’t shared her history with her, but Meredith always said she could see people’s colors. Almost like a fortune-teller, Meredith always tells Artemis that her future is bright, and her aura is warming. The sweet woman is as sharp as a tack and still moves freely despite her aging body. Artemis has a very high respect for the woman, and would do anything for her.

Venser Sitol - Artemis owes a lot to Venser for helping her keep her identity hidden. Artemis was able to find the talented hacker after searching around Helston shortly after her arrival. After carefully explaining her situation, while leaving out details of her specific heritage, Venser agreed. She pays him with credits, yet she feels as though she owes him a lot more than just mere currency. Venser is a budding friend to Artemis, considering he knows more about her than anybody else in Helston, but she tries to keep an arms-length distance to avoid unintentionally revealing information about herself that she likes to keep confidential.

Steven - A bartender at a local pub that she visits often. Although she befriends nobody, she enjoys the company of the kind, burly man that serves her alcohol after a long day. Their conversation usually brightens her mood and helps her to forget her constant pain.

Jayce - A loyal customer to the bakery, coming in more times than he should in a week. It’s obvious that he has a crush on Artemis, but he knows that he’ll only face rejection.

Pushing to unfold his destiny, he tries to be careful as he treads through his life, making sure that he doesn’t turn a blind eye to any possible opportunities that are offered to him. His greatest aspiration was to become a man of bravery, honor, and valor. In doing so, he found himself joining the marines in hopes to maximize his strength and help make a change in the world. Sadly, he was stationed for awhile and was left disappointed and unfulfilled since he was never mobilized, nor called upon for any instruction. While many would prefer this, Sebastian never intended to join for rapacious reasons, but rather for the thrill and rewarding feeling that would come with the job. Since his return from being stationed, he’s left lost, becoming stagnant in his life. His aspiration still remains, but it is veiled by a thick fog. -

life at ritman high Sebastian came to the hierarchy much later than the rest of the students at Ritman High. Moving to the United States was a culture shock for him and he took a lot of time by himself to further learn the language and culture, as well as taking time for himself to properly cope with the events of his life. His father, a wealthy, mad scientist, and his mother, gone, had left him living in an unhealthy environment, exposed to the strange obscurities of his father’s work without any other family to call upon. In his own independence, Sebastian negotiated with his father and they agreed to allow him to move to the U.S. There, in the isolation of a large home with an unassertive, yielding nanny to care for him, he began anew. He lived with few rules and all the freedom he could’ve ever wanted, but never abused it for he has always had a dedicated complex embedded in his character. Sebastian had always lived headstrong, even when he resided in Germany, so his predicament had changed little. In spite of his private, undisclosed childhood, he found great distraction within Ritman High. Upon entry, he was already given the indentifier as the ‘Hot Foreign Jock’, even before joining the varsity football team. In the beginning, he talked very little, paying more attention to his academics and his extracurricular activities that he signed up for. As time went on, his nerves calmed and he felt more comfortable within the atmosphere, and he began to cycle in with the hierarchy of Ritman high, becoming involuntarily placed at the high-end of the pyramid. Sebastian engaged more with his classmates and spent a lot of his time bonding with his teammates, but all-the-while still adopting his quiet demeanor. His increasing involvement had led him to joining the NHS and it further amplified his determination with his academics and his sports. As he maintained his respectful and calm attitude, he was known to be the nicest of the jocks and a well-liked person all around. Except nobody ever got close to him and he remained a mystery to the student body. He didn’t have a single relationship, nor did he grow fond of any particular individual. As his highschool years passed, he eventually befriended a group of classmates that he would still consider his closest friends, despite still leaving them distant enough to not feel the need to expose himself entirely. For Sebastian, they were like his saving grace to his increasingly bad mind set. Growing up is hard, and for Sebastian, he could only mask his loneliness. Life for Sebastian during his time at Ritman High was all the things that it should’ve been—fun, eventful, productive—but he still felt the underlying emptiness that he tried so hard to fill with meager, teenage antics. Although such antics would be deemed as completion and accomplishment, he couldn’t deny the haunting feeling of his past that hung over his head like a dark, growing cloud of thunder. As he anticipated it’s strike, he fervently decided to join the marines for hope of purpose, assuming it would satisfy his aspirations and eliminate his self-hatred and developing feelings of worthlessness. And as he graduated with high hopes, he became recognized by his school for making this decision. His high school years were then seen as a huge success within his life, but such feelings are now swayed, believing he followed the wrong path for his life. Returning six years later, without any notable achievements during his time in the marines, his feelings of self-hatred and issues of self-worth resurfaced. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ power Sebastian possesses the power of Force-Field Manipulation. Sebastian can create, shape, and manipulate force-fields, a field of energy without mass that acts as a barrier. Objects affected by the particular force relating to the field are unable to pass through the field and reach the other side. Sebastians most common usage is forming shields, barriers, and bubbles around things he wishes to encase or protect. In combat, he can also be seen creating strong force-fields around his arms, fists, or legs to increase the power of his strikes. He is moving on to being able to move/lift objects that he encases within his force-fields. As he progresses with his powers, he has the potential to unlock several more aspects and usages with the power.

The strong density of the force-fields can withstand heavy blows dependent on his concentration.

The power is best utilized with a quick reaction time, requiring Sebastian to be light on his feet when the time calls for it. To be able to conjure makeshift force-fields that are more complex than an average barrier or shield requires a more complex concentration. -

psyche Growing up, Sebastian has always had a determined, independent, and impenetrable personality. He is as productive as he is independent, finding himself to prefer doing things on his own. This leads to his introversion and his avoidance of help when it comes to tasks he is required to do. Even from working as a team when he played football, even from learning cooperation and alliance from the marines, he still remains independent, but thanks to the two, it is much less extreme. On the contrary, he is a man that keeps to his word and doesn’t make promises unless he is sure to keep to them. In the small instances where he has failed someone or not seen a task to its completion, he is very hard on himself and generally doesn’t let go of his mistake. This aside, he is very productive and chooses to fill his time with things that will better him rather than fill it with enjoyment. Sebastian is often found thinking a lot, and he is more perceptive than judging. He tries to see things from all angles, regardless of how small the scenario may be. Sebastian tries to treat others the way he wishes to be treated. He doesn’t treat others with distaste and he is always respectful as can be. A lot of people call him old-school for his strong feelings towards respect and responsibility, but he appreciates this aspect of himself. Sebastian is also very observant and curious. He tries to learn as much as he can, ranging from the most minimal events to the biggest lectures of his life. Ritman High has taught Sebastian to enjoy life and friendship and happiness. But his character flaw is that if he invests too much time into enjoyment, he will have nothing to show for himself than the temporary feelings he creates in those instances. As of recent, he has been lost in a vortex of emotions, social constructs, and philosophy—he more commonly struggles with his views of himself more than he has in the past, unable to find the balance. And as time continues, his tired mind juggles more than it can handle. Sebastian doesn’t smile often, but when he does, it as genuine as ever. The majority of the time, he keeps a straight face and it is near impossible to determine what he’s thinking, for his mind is generally scattered with thoughts. The close friends he has made at Ritman High are what pull him away from his solitude and uplift him to a place where he feels the warmth of happiness, but he struggles to hold onto it. Sebastian values them strongly and there isn’t anything he wouldn’t do to ensure their safety and sanity. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

Here is my character! Let me know if I should make any adjustments to him. I tried to incorporate the foreseen bonds the created characters would have. If I should change this then let me know!

—OBLIVION.

Quick questions:

How big is Ritman High? Are they in the class A bracket for sports? And do they have the stereotypical high school setting with the different cliques and hierarchy?

—OBLIVION.

Interested in this! Will keep my eye on it and potentially post a character! :)

btw, if anyone wants inspiration for locations or a general feel for the town, delton is directly modelled on freeport, maine (basically its freeport but with its own name and the buildings have different purposes, so i can make up my own culture and whatnot for the town). give it a good look around on google maps, its what i did

@hawkins

I live an hour from Freeport and I go there all the time WOW. They have good shops

EDIT: A question that I'm sure you've already answered and I skimmed over poorly: So, to clarify, all of our characters are going to be the friends coming to meet 7 years after high school graduation? Also, this must mean that the RP will start off with already established relationships I assume.

@Danvers Ahhhh I see. Yeah, I would add all of that to her CS, that way you can refer back to it if need be!

I'm thinking that her telepathy can probably better bypass a mind that has been made vulnerable or stripped of it's barriers. So maybe these instances would occur when someone would drink a potion or something like that. This way she's still well within the playing field!

Let me know when you've added to the CS!
