@Renny Your character sheet is fabulous, lovely selection of tropes! The character reminds me of Squall from Final Fantasy 8, as already mentioned. The model you chose even looks like him, except for the hair. Overall, there’s nothing that I feel like ‘this doesn’t quite fit’, so you’re all good!
I have drafted Olivia’s memories for the characters that are listed in the character tab, in order. Please read them and let me know if they’re okay, then I will add them to my sheet. @Whoami@JJ Doe@Halcyon@clericbeast@Renny@DJAtomika
Memories When tragedy struck Helston, Olivia was fast to take up the mantle left in the dirty by Samuel. If someone would ask her about it, she would probably not perceive it in that way. It was a gut feeling for Olivia, a subconscious calling, something that made perfect sense to her. For the last fifteen years, she has functioned as a mother or sister figure to many of her friends, the unofficial leader, and the glue that keeps them together. However, Olivia has always honored Samuel’s memory by putting herself in the background in order to allow her friends to grow and shine.
Kade Sicario Usually, Olivia avoids openly talking about Samuel. She would rather be infected with Stigma. This is not the case with Kade. She is one of the few that know the extent of Olivia’s love for Samuel, or more specifically, the love for her idealized imagination of him. However, in another time and universe, Olivia and Kade would probably be worst enemies. Kade had a relationship with Samuel that came dangerously close to that of Olivia’s, which has caused a sense of competitiveness to linger between the girls. Together they from a doubled edged sword, loving and hating each other with a passion. However, Olivia tries to attend all of Kade’s performances whenever and wherever they may be, as she admires her singing.
Rui Liú Olivia is the way she is because it comes naturally. When she sees Rui put on her show of two distinct sides to herself, Olivia becomes a bit distraught. She feels as if ‘Dark Rui’ is a bad influence on the group and everyone around, which is why Olivia does everything in her power to promote ‘Angelic Rui’. Olivia has taken Rui to a petting zoo for Moa Birds and other small and fluffy animals, played video games with her for days on end, and indulged in the fan-girl train at Oakridge. Olivia does find Rui to be extremely cute, so she is a member of an actual committee that creates fan art, takes photos of Rui, and conducts a blog on the Oakridge network about Rui’s everyday life.
Elvira Ravenwood Olivia is officially a person who looks out and cares for Elvira. There is an actual Sanctum contract that states the aforementioned, and both girls have signed it. So, one can imagine that they have spent quite a bit of time together over the years. It has gotten to the point where Olivia is more of a mother figure to Elvira, rather than just a friend, even if Elvira is two months older than Olivia. A lot of their interaction is through their shared interest in weapon dancing. Elvira practices ‘gun dancing’ and Olivia turned her ballet into ‘sword dancing’. They have spent countless of nights and many hours on their practice, and performed at several ceremonies at Oakridge, especially graduations. At this point, Elvira is very much a daughter to Olivia, and nothing will ever change that.
Scout Olivia can be firm and strict, even if she is an overall caring person. It may come to no surprise that Scout knows that side to Olivia quite well. She has probably heard “go clean your room,” “don’t do that,” and “watch your language” more than any other student at Oakridge. Olivia sees Scout as a diamond in the rough and with a bit of tough love, she will be able to form the little rascal into a graceful woman. However, it is a process that comes with quite a bit of frustration. Olivia has on more than one occasion stormed out of Scout’s dormitory at the academy, muttering or shouting, only to come back twenty minutes later and in silence braid Scout’s hair.
Alabaster Zabek Olivia would lie if she denied being attracted to Al. The boy has an air of mystery to him that complements what Samuel was. However, being an utmost extroverted person, Olivia fervently attempts to convert Al into something that he is not. She has on more than one occasion invited him to outings with her only to be rejected by excuses a dozen times. But, it has not stopped Olivia from kicking down the door to his dormitory and forced him out of there. She masks her true intentions by playing the Helston-friend card. Knowing the son of and heir to a prominent modeling agency, who has an in with all the current trends and fashions, can have its benefits. Olivia has no intention of squandering such a friend.
Eric Wormwood As the leader type, Olivia knows when an invaluable resource is available to her. Eric is such a resource. Even though Elvira is utmost clever, her and Olivia’s relationship prohibits Olivia from seeing her in the same light as she sees Eric. He is the right-hand man, the long arm of knowledge that Olivia does not have, and the intellectual hitman that she puts to use as a weapon. She will often glance at him for a sign of approval or disapproval in matters of arguments or decisions concerning others. Out of all the friends, Olivia feels as if her relationship with Eric is strictly platonic, which in itself becomes special, as such is not the case with anyone else. She feels as if she can trust Eric’s judgement, even in times of disagreement, without the fear of emotion manipulating the situation. Her favorite moment with him is when they hit the local coffee shops of the city for chocolate pudding and vanilla milkshakes!
Also, I just want to thank all of you for putting this much effort into your characters! Your work is absolutely fantastic so far, so the pressure to make this roleplay super awesome is really coming down on me, haha!
Edit: Also, here is a TitanPad for the roleplay. It can be used for a variety of things, chatting included. I'll try to be on it in the evenings as much as I can!
@Halcyon Yes, I do! I have to write the codex entries for each continent, though. They're pretty much written already, but I have to go through them a few more times, and then get that map into photoshop and add some text. Phew! This is all on my list of things to do!
If there is any kind of technology that you would like to see in the world, please post some suggestions or your own codex entries (100-300 words or so)! The same goes for locations, traditions, denominations in Etroism, whatever. It's optional, of course, but would add great detail to everything!
I think you guys can post your sheets in the character tab. I doubt that there will be anyone that I have to ‘deny’ or whatever. It’s also easier to work with character relations if all sheets are on the same page.
I updated Olivia’s sections with some additional info, slowly getting there. I’ll get to everyone’s relations once everything else about her sheet is done.
@Halcyon Character sheet looks good so far, hon! I was thinking that maybe Elvira and Olivia would’ve danced together at the academy, you know, her ‘gun dance’ and Olivia’s ballet/sword dance. I imagine that they would practice at the same location after school hours! Perhaps worked on some routine together, and then preformed at some celebration at the academy? Could make for a fun flashback in the story!
@JJ Doe Haha, first of all, I think that Olivia would definitely be part of the fan-girl train worshipping the teen idol of Oakridge! There’s no doubt about that. However, as a friend, Olivia would probably try to make the ‘angelic’ Rui become the permanent face, because it’s the side that resonates most with how Olivia is herself. She would do everything in her power to promote that behavior in Rui—take her to some petting zoo with small furry animals, play video games with her, and so on!
The memories are just to get us started, though. The real freedom to explore relations and past events will come in the in-character through flashbacks.
@Renny You can write Memories in any way you want, really. They could be your character's thoughts, answers to questions asked by someone about the others, out of character voice like the rest of the sheet, or something else.
