Revenant: A Sci-Fi Adventure (Always Accepting!)

@Crossfire

That's fine. I never introduce a character unless I see an opening anyway.

Revenant: A Sci-Fi Adventure (Always Accepting!)

I hope so too! This looks really cool!

Revenant: A Sci-Fi Adventure (Always Accepting!)

Taleste Jot-Anne

Name: Taleste Jot-Anne

Age/Race/Gender: 24/Human/Female

Appearance:

Taleste

Occupation: Thief, scout

Weapons:

-Camelid PP10 handgun, silencer attached. Non-automatic, ballistic.

Camelid

-Much more impressive tech than her 'old trusty' handgun is her knife, which is retractable, and has battery powered laser edge capabilities to allow it to damage powered armour.

Knife

Armor:

-Taleste does not wear metal or powered armour, preferring the lightweight, mobile approach of not getting hit in the first place, but her clothes themselves are made of a special, super-dense carbon fibre which will protect her from a light ballistic attack, such as stray bullets. It will not work against concentrated fire, stabbing or bludgeoning weapons, explosives or for, or lasers, however.

Items: Taleste's effects are as follows (besides weapons); One lockpicking multitool, one miniature yet powerful drill, binocular sunglasses, and the usual toiletries, clothes, make-up, ect, which would usually not be worth commenting on but for Taleste, can be tools of crime also.

Skills: Taleste is an accomplished thief who can flawlessly pickpocket, pick mechanic locks, crack safes, and is very good at being light on her feet and unnoticed. She's also a very good actor, if the need ever arises for her to go undercover. Related to this, she has a talent for makeup, able to make herself look like she's spent her whole life in the slums, or in the aristocracy, or young and pretty, or old and ugly, merely by clever presentation of face, hair and fashion.

Powers:None

Other: She speaks in a heavy, strange dialect, possibly from one of the many multiracial slums around the galaxy, where humans and aliens live side by side and pick up each other's vernacular habits.

Shawn's post gave me the idea that if Heidi's power ever gets repressed or removed, she'd become really slow and stupid because she's been using her power as a crutch. What's the point of studying properly when you have a memory so photographic you can read something once and that's you mastered it?

Also I too am having trouble with thinking up a post right now, but I have been busy so I will have more time tomorrow

Balbasorus Academy

Is this definitely casual? Because I'm not sure I could keep up with a fast-paced free rp, which it looks like from reading the IC.

Shawn's suspicions about Heidi were completely correct. She had already finished her project two days after receiving it, writing about 'The King's Speech', a movie she had seen only once, at the cinema when it came out, and had never seen since. She had a soft spot for that movie because she also had problems with public speaking, but for different reasons. Heidi hadn't handed in her project, though. She hated doing things that drew attention to herself in a social environment, because every time she did so, a wave of jealous students used to accuse her of showing off or flaunting her intelligence. So she had taken to, well, not exactly hiding it, because everybody knew she was super smart, but just never showing it in a class environment. Missions were another story. Partly because there were no longer any social boundaries of the academy, and partly because she wasn't nearly as smart when she was stressed and scared. In fact she wished she could be smarter in those situations.

She noticed Shawn was looking at her. Should she make conversation? But it's the middle of class, but she couldn't just ignore him, could she? But if she did respond to him and got noticed, that would be embarrassing...She decided to do nothing for now. Maybe there would be an opportunity later in the class where she could talk.

Gah, what should I do? All the posts I make are like three sentences long of just...Heidi going to class

X-Men: The New Era

I like mowing the lawn lol. Any excuse to go outside when there's absolutely nothing worth leaving the house for within two miles of you.

The X-Pendibles

I've checked the schedule. It seems fine to me!

In case anybody's interested for their own timetabling needs;

Shawn's Timetable: Free, Philosophy, Math, Science, P.E., Lunch, Am. History, Language, Free

Heidi's Timetable: Free, Philosophy, Free, F. Lang., P.E., Lunch, Am. History, Free, Music

Bonny's Timetable: Free, History, Math, Business, Free, Lunch, Science, Language, Music

In fact, the only time all three have something different is fourth period. There's a lot of continuity here!

"Just because there are people in greater need of medical attention than you doesn't mean you're not in need. You should check back in at the end of the day once all your classes are finished, unless you get any serious headaches. Then go right away. In fact, I want you to promise me you'll do that."

Heidi didn't even notice that she was acting like a concerned mother towards Shawn. She was just giving practical advice that she strongly wanted to give. To her mind, a careful, analytical approach was natural, so in a way, she was too short sighted and socially inept to see anything unusual about this worrisome doting of her classmate.

She saw him look at the clock and deduced that he was thinking about second period, which was coming up soon. None of the first period classes would benefit Heidi. In fact, she'd stand out in them and people would think she was showing off just by doing her best. The prospect of toning down an important field skill just to fit in didn't exactly enthral Heidi either. Bringing forth from her memory the timetables for her class, she compared hers with Shawns. "We're in the same class next. I have Philosophy, then a break, then Foreign Languages, then P.E., then American History, then a break, then Music." Heidi didn't take mathematics or science at this school, but instead used one of her breaks a day working on her online Bachelor's Degree in Bio-Engineering.
