I was so blown away by the eclipse. I even got to pretend it was entirely hidden here in Michigan, when the clouds covered the peak. :P

That be necroing, which is a non fonz cool thing.
At the rate you post topics, you wouldn't be necroing anything.
I recycled her from a book I recently wrote. The young professor hasn't seen a roleplay before, and I thought this would fit her nicely.
And I think our characters could find each other interesting, based on her area of study and his background.
Though I must confess - the topic of her dissertation was actually the topic of my own senior research. I cheated and recycled that as well.

Oh wow, cop dead in the first phase. :/

Wait so is this just a general supernatural setting, or is it based off that TV show? If it's the latter, I won't be participating as I know nothing about the show.
It's based off the TV show. Sorry.
Nat, why not just stick to your pointless thread, and post anything you want to say there?
It will still be bumped to the top of the page where people will see it.

I'm here!
I think I am going to have to bow out of this one. Good luck with it though.
Full Legal Name: Melinda Anne Reynolds
Date of Birth: January 3, 1985 (Age 29)
Gender: Female
Race: White/Caucasian
Country of Origin: United States
Fluent Languages: English, German
Professional
Education: Ph.D
Previous Employment (Past 10 years): Student, until three years ago when I graduated with a Ph.D and was hired by a university.
Weapon Training: A very basic understanding of small-caliber firearms, as I shoot recreationally. My father introduced me to the sport of competitive shooting when I was still in high school.
Other Notable Talents: I consider myself to be a well-spoken individual. I hope this does not come across as malicious, but I do have a way of making people listen to me. Perhaps it is my soft nature, or the way I can make a person feel as though I can truly relate to them, but I am quite persuasive when I need to be. Simply put, I am likable. That has served me well in the past. Something that may come as less of a surprise is my seemingly endless supply of historical facts. I generally use them to impress students and colleagues, but I can see how they might be useful in this line of work.
Personality Evaluation
List Three (3) Likes: People, jokes, historically-accurate romance novels.
List Three (3) Dislikes: Ignorance, cruelty (in any form), anything superficial.
Tell Us About Yourself: Truth be told, my childhood was quite average. My family consisted of my father, my mother, and myself. I would consider us upper-middle class, as money was never a problem, but I was still taught the value of hard work. My parents, my father especially, also emphasized the importance of helping others, a lesson that has had an enormous impact on the way that I choose to live my life. I did a bit of everything in high school, from theatre to track and field. I thought being well-rounded would help me get into an ivy-league school, though I did not know what it was that I would study there.
Everything changed when my father died suddenly in 2002. He was struck by a drunk driver on his way home from the office. My mother, an only-only child like my father and I, had no one to grieve with but her own elderly parents. I volunteered to take a year off after graduation, but my mother insisted I go to college immediately, as it would have been what my father wanted. Despite my acceptance to Yale, I chose instead to attend Michigan State University. It was closer to home, and it was my father’s alma mater. There, I drifted for a while, my major undecided. It was not until my second semester that I took my first history class, HST 201. It introduced me to the subject in a way my high school classes never had. I fell in love immediately, and decided that I wanted to help other students find joy in history the way that I did. I enrolled in the College of Education, and even in my senior year, I thought that I would be a high school teacher. But my love for researching finally won out, and I chose to pursue an advanced degree. I completed my degree a few years ago, and I wrote my dissertation on the rehabilitation of boys orphaned during the Holocaust. It was quite a change from my usual love of American history, but I was captivated by the stories the survivors told.
Recently, I found out about Dr. Frank’s work through a friend. Truth be told, I do not think I would find great enjoyment in traveling just for the fun of it. Granted, it would be incredibly interesting, but I would have a difficult time studying it. As a historian, it is essential that I see the big picture. I need to be able to “zoom in and zoom out” on certain aspects of a period. I fear being completely immersed in the history would make this nearly impossible, as I would spend more time running from raptors or avoiding being convicted as a witch than making observations. However, I would be honored to join the team, as the dangers of changing the past are incredibly apparent to me. Should my application be accepted, I would not be opposed to taking a leave of absence from the university. I hope that this has answered all of your questions.
The Test
1. Who were the leaders of the countries involved in the Cuban Missile Crisis?
John F. Kennedy, Fidel Castro, and Nikita Khrushchev
2. True or False? The Musketeers were the elite forces of the Spanish Military in the 1700s.
False. “Musketeer” can refer to any infantry soldier with a musket. Certainly, the Spanish used them, but I would said the French Musketeers are the most renowned.
3. What is another word for tired?
Exhausted.
4. Solve for X. 4x-2=6
4x-2=6
+2 +2
4x=8
/4 /4
x=2
I think that is correct. I apologize if it is not - it has been a long while since I have taken a math class.
5. What is the standard issue weapon of American troops during World War II?
M1 Garand
6. Where did the Battle of Normandy take place?
Normandy. Are you looking for a more specific answer?
7. What is the name of the noble warriors of Japan?
Samurai.
