I guess trying to skate in the snow wasn't a good idea. I'm freezing cold right now, and it didn't help that I faceplanted twice into a snow drift. I finally made it to class shortly after, but man...that teacher is a total control freak! She went off on some tirade about how being late for everything was gonna affect me in life and yada yada yada. I didn't really pay much attention to her. Fuck, I don't even know what her name was. Castro or something? I dunno. Either way, I just did my usual. Just nod and say gotcha. Heh, I wonder if I'll even be late to my own funeral...morbid thought really. Anywho, I'm starting to like it here, but I miss Sunstar Bay and San Fransisco. I understand Darren doesn't wanna be there anymore, but it sucks not being able to see the ocean or feel the sun on my skin every day. Either way, I'm coping...with the weather at least. As for the school uniforms...they're hella gay! Why the fuck do I have to wear a skirt in zero degree weather? Apparently that succubus Rosie took full advantage of it. God that girl has no shame! I can understand sexual freedom and all that get up, but fuck, some courtesy at least!
Well...I rambled enough. I better get to class. Till next time, diary. Cheers. ^__^"
White.... that's all she could see around her for miles it seemed, sheets of fluffy white snow stretching in every direction
Nestled underneath the tall, shadowy oak of the school campus, Liz spent her lunch as usual...away from everyone else.
Even with a thick black and red flannel jacket shielding her pale, ghostly complexion, the girl couldn't help but feel the chilling wind dicing through the dense fabric and piercing her frail skin....skin marred with several cuts, several red and black scars and bruises, the grisly results of her melancholy scraping across the fragile flesh in the form of either a fist or a lit cigarette, the searing...hellish agony she had endured those many years, going from one fucked up foster family to the next, until she found...or rather until Darren found her and treated her like a human being. She had covered the scars with various tattoos, just as she hid her tired, bloodshot eyes behind tousled strands of raven black hair, ugly streaks of red bristling around an orb of emerald green like crimson lightning. Thick, black chasms weighed deep under her eyelids as a result from countless nights left awake lamenting and trapped in lachrymose, and clenched between her lips was yet another cigarette already lit, bent and crumpled.
"Another year....." She muttered to herself in a sigh, an exhale of thin white smoke to follow. She really had no cares at all if smoking wasn't allowed is school. All Elizabeth ever cared for...was herself.
Her focus remained attentive on the sketchbook in her lap, barely even noticing how much time had passed at all as she was zoned out, entranced in two of her loves...art and music. Her pencil kept moving between her two fingers as Crosses by Jose Gonzales played softly in her ears, each stroke either broad or slender creating her masterpiece before her very eyes, a vision pulled from the confines of her imagination and spilled out unto the cream white page. Once she was done, she looked down at her creation, a detailed sketch of a girl sitting beside the ocean, rather pleased with it. Just a few more finishing touches on the shading and whatnot and she closed her book setting it aside and switching off her Mp3, stuffing it in the pocket of her flannel before resting against the thick trunk and yawning.
With the persistence of time to press onward and the ringing of the bell, her first few classes had gone by without a second glance, and really, it just felt like the usual day for Liz, more homework, more teachers pissed off at her for not turning in her homework, more detention hours for knocking out someone for calling her a name or two in scoffing, yep....pretty much the average day at school. But the bright side of it all was after the same old grind, lunch had soon arrived, just in time because she was already starving.
She treaded into the cafeteria, cutting in line per her usual style, snatching up a tomato and avocado sandwich with gouda on wheat with light mayo and an iced coffee. After she paid for her lunch, she decided to leave the cafeteria for the outside, where she sat here. Of course it was freezing outside, but Liz didn't seem to mind it. Not when she was off in her own little world.
Jocelyn glanced at the boy from the corner of her eye, a mischievous flicker of light in those mysterious emerald hues. "Splendid, but I must warn you, it will be quite the challenge facing off against ghosts. They're not like you and I, beings of physical material. Mortal weapons alone will not harm them, nor will any elemental magick such as fire, earth, or wind. You will need power that is far beyond the recesses of this mortal coil, an art that is drawn from beyond the void that separates both the living and the dead. Luckily for you, boy. Such a power I possess."
She turned to the others, "Now then, I must be off to gather my scythe and whatever else will be necessary in combating creatures of the abyss. I shall meet with you soon after." A curt nod given and she was off climbing the stairs of the Guild Hall to her personal quarters. There beside her bed lied Grimsever, its sharp, obsidian blade glinting amidst the peaceful, warm rays of sunlight basking through the open window. She grasped the weapon by its oak wood handle and gave it a fanciful twirl, a pleasant smirk crossing her lips. Then, from a cabinet resting against the other wall, a few glass vials she gathered and stuffed into a burlap satchel, the vials filled with some bizarre gray dust, and...there appeared to be bone fragments mixed within them.
"Then it's settled." Jocelyn nodded in agreement with them. Good to have some company upon this endeavor, but she wondered how the few would fare when faced with denizens of the long forgotten abyss. Facing monsters, that in itself was simple as they were physical beings, flesh and blood. A ghost....it would be different to say the least, and not necessarily easy. "I will need to gather a few things from my quarters before we disembark. I suggest you three prepare as well." Three she said as another had apparently joined their hunting party...or two since it seemed the other necromancer was backing out. Impatient he must've been and yearning to head out. Jocelyn smirked. "Are you sure you do not wish to join us, boy? We could use your...talent in dispatching of the restless dead."
Nicknames: Liz or Lizzie is fine, but never call her Lizard. She hates it. Age + Birthday: 16 (Currently), born October 13th, 2000 Relationship Status: Single Sexuality: Hetero
General Appearance:
Elizabeth stands about 5'1'' and weighs roughly 135 lbs. She has a fairly slender build with a bit of curve to her and her bust size is a b-cup. Her long raven black hair drapes over her shoulders with a few bangs always hanging down in her face, and her eyes are a piercing shade of ice blue. She's not too big on fashion either, but then again, her clothes are always frayed and grungy looking. Most of her books and stuff, including her camera, she carries around in an olive green messenger bag.
History:
"People lie all the time, even when they tell you the truth..."
Moving from the Midwest, Liz failed to fit in and make friends, usually choosing to exclude herself from certain people, but when she did consider having a friend, she was cruelly rejected and ostracized by the other students, leading her to recede more and more into herself. Liz was born to her mother and father in Des Moines, Iowa on October 13th. Her mother worked as a receptionist for a hospital while her father was a sheriff's deputy. However Elizabeth wasn't her father's child but the child of her mother and another man she had an affair with behind his back. Once her father, a cruel and abusive drunk, discovered the truth, he tried to kill his wife and child. Liz's mother escaped with her from Iowa, and together, the two tried to start a new life.
It was rather easy for her mother, but for Liz.....it was Hell. Elizabeth was constantly bullied by the children in her class, the ridicule and ostracism proceeding till she was twelve, when her mother fell gravely ill with cancer. It wasn't months later, her mother passed away.
For the next few years, she was sent from foster home to foster home, barely able to adapt to any and running away from a few due to....things she doesn't want to talk about.
Currently, she's living with Darren Welshire, a renowned photographer who takes photos for major music magazines such as Rolling Stone. He adopted Liz eight months after his wife and ten year old daughter were killed in a fatal car accident as a means to help him cope with the family he had lost. Liz has learned alot from him about photography and sees Darren as more of a close friend than a father figure, despite the man trying to act as more of a parent to her.
When she leaves school, Liz is hoping that she too can become a professional photographer. Till then, she just has to grin and bear it for the rest of the year.
Personality:
"Yeah, I'm a bitch. Deal with it."
Cynical, moody, and sarcastic, rarely does Liz speak, but when she does, she's not afraid to tell you what's on her mind. She's usually a cool and collected person, but you rub her the wrong way, you only have yourself to blame for that black eye you got. She hates bullies and absolutely despises snobby, stuck up people. Liz is a music lover at heart, but only certain types of music since she absolutely despises pop music. She also occasionally smokes marijuana. There is a kinder, more gentle side to Liz, but it is rarely seen since she distances herself from people most of the time.
Since she was a child, Liz has suffered from depression, mostly because she kept moving from place to place with her mother, and she barely made any friends at all. It doesn't help either that she's afraid of everyone around her and doesn't like to meet new people since she's scared of getting hurt.
When it comes to speaking to boys, especially those she finds attractive, Liz can be quite shy, bashful even.
Skills: Other than playing guitar and taking photos, nothing really. She's kinda good at skateboarding, but she ain't no Bam Margera
Likes: Skateboarding, playing guitar, drawing, getting high, listening to music, photography, napping constantly, drinking lots of coffee
Dislikes: Bullies, snobs, pop music, meat (she's vegetarian), being called a hipster

-Not only can she can play guitar. She can also play piano.
"Okay, now that you know everything about me, go away."
Character Theme:
"Leave you here. Wearing your wounds. Waving your guns at somebody new. Baby, you're a lost... Baby, you're a lost... Baby, you're a lost cause..."
"September 15th, 2016. Hello Brunswick Private. I can't believe just a few weeks ago Darren and I were already packing to leave San Fran, and now we're here in the middle of winter. Yeah, winter, in September. First time I've ever seen snow since I lived in Iowa. Still, it made for some killer shots. I posted them on my tumblr a few days ago, but no reblogs yet. Sad face...
Darren got me a new camera too, kind of an early birthday present since he's gonna be in Europe taking tour photos for a festival there. Wish I could go, but with school, well...you know the drama.
Oh speaking of school, I happened to meet a few of the new students there. Guess it's time to rank them from "I totally wanna be your bestie" to "I totally wanna smash your face in with a brick.""
Melanie Timere:
"I met Melanie when I was signing up for enrollment. She's...well....kinda uppity-uppity. Really puts off that vibe that's like "I am so better than you." Wouldn't say she's a total bitch, but I'm not too keen on her. Plus if you ask me, I think she's totally crushing on her bestie Gigi. Hello obvious lesbo."
Alex Hill
"I've seen the guy going around looking mad as fuck at the world, so I didn't really think approaching him was the best idea. Then again, I'm that way with everyone. I kinda wonder why he looks like that all the time."
Genevieve Hazel Young:
"This chick would talk to a fence post if it could talk back to her."
Darian Green
"Don't get me started on Darian. I already want to punch her lights out. I thought shit was fucked up in Alex's life? Please, this bitch makes Freddy Krueger look like a teddy bear. If I ever see her picking on another kid again, I swear to God I will hit her."
Matthew Stephens:
"Nerd alert! Sorry, was that rude? Matt....I dunno. He's kinda cool. I mean I've hung out with the anime crowd before and watched a few myself, but I could never get totally into it like him. He's got some sweet comic books too, some I haven't even heard about. My only qualm....t-t-the stu-tu-stuttering." *slaps self* "Okay! Okay, I'll stop trolling him, jeez! The stuttering is adorable I'll say. Maybe I could be friends with him....maybe..."
Lena Williams:
"What is she trying to be Ronda Rousey or something? Pretty sure she'd kick my ass if she heard me say that, so I better just steer clear of her. She'd break my scrawny ass like a toothpick."
Mackien Ackerson:
"Never met him, but I hear he's kind of a Casanova. Yup, avoid that player."
Beryl Cantrell:
"Oh uh...that...other shy kid. I tried to talk to him, but he...well he seems so distant. Still, he's totally cute, in a shy, adorkable sort of way. I'd date him." ^__^
Antonnia Smith:
"Yeah...I'm totally sure she's a shapeshifter or something. Girl has a new hair color each day. Plus I don't really like that she copies off other people's work just to get by. Fo' shame."
Rosa Krasnoff:
-____- "Ugh! If Satan ever raped one of his succubus whores and got her preggers, then I'm sure Rosie would be their offspring...and Darian was the afterbirth. Seriously, what's with all these delinquent bitches running around on constant PMS?! The only thing she's got going for her are those massive gazongas, cause her personality's about as charming as a praying mantis in a Waffen SS uniform! Gag! Xp Sweet bike though."
Octavia
"Uh....can someone call an ambulance now? I'm pretty sure this chick is dead." O___O;
