Aiming To Reach The Stars

@Amaralyn Thank you for the interest! I am looking forward to it!

Aiming To Reach The Stars

February 8, 2031. While we were celebrating that we had won the war against the aliens, they were preparing themselves for a rematch. We didn't see it coming... at all. We thought that they gave up and went back to where they came from, but we were wrong... so wrong. They came back... and even harder then before. Since they knew our strengths and weaknesses, it was easy to prepare a strategy to win the next war. For us... it was difficult. They not only changed their strength, their power and their resources. They had also changed their appearances. They knew our language and how to behave. We couldn't make the difference between humans and aliens. The only thing we noticed, was that they were present. Innocent people were dying without an obvious cause. People were fighting against each other, while they were actually friends. The aliens had taken control of our bodies and our minds... and there was nothing that we could do.

At least... that is what we originally thought. Some of our young adults actually saw the difference between aliens and humans. It was as if they could see through the human skin... It seemed that they could see the creature sitting on our brain and controlling us. They were a new kind of species. They looked like humans, thought like humans and behaved like humans. However, they were stronger... and smarter. At first, the young adults were grouping together and isolating themselves from the second war. Were they going to support the humans or the aliens... or weren't they going to support any of the two? They didn't know the answer to that question, they didn't know what to do. Until the aliens came with a very good proposition. They didn't tell what their goal was, but they said that they could teach them how to become more powerful, how to win against any kind of species... and the young adults agreed to it.

Was it rude to not choose the side of the humans? Was it rude to destroy the kind that had produced them? No, they thought. Humanity was destroying the Earth, so they had to be destroyed so Earth could be saved. What they would do afterwards, they didn't know. But they had decided what to do and weren't planning to back off. They would support the aliens.

With some kind of special airplane, they travelled to the planet of the aliens. It didn't look much different than Earth did, so they immediately felt at home. The only thing different was that their planet didn't have as much buildings, they had more nature. The air was nicer to breath and the sun was shining brighter. It felt so nice to live there. But they couldn't enjoy that fantasy forever. They had to train. They had to become the army that the aliens needed to win the war. Every day they had to go to some kind of school. Every student was trained to be so strong that they would reach the stars. They had to become the Zodiac Signs themselves.

Some had to swim for hours every single day. They needed to become one with it, to feel the movement and be able to control it. They would become the reincarnations of Aquarius. Others had to learn more about gravity and how to change it. They had to feel the difference between all kinds of grounds. They had to gain control of earth. They would become the reincarnations of Libra. And at the end of every day, every student needed to fight another student. They had to become stronger and if the aliens didn't see improvement... Well, you don't want to know what happens in that case.

The OOC

Circus of the Supernatural

The Fire Breather

His True Name
Shane King

His Stage Name
Satan's Flame

The Date He Joined The Circus
February 5, 2001

The Act
As he can control fire and its flames, his role in the circus is the fire breather. Lately, he is learning to turn fire walking and fire eating into new acts to perform. Right now, his only act is that of a fire breather. However, he doesn't only makes fire appear out of his mouth, he also makes it appear from his sleeves.

The contract he has with the demon makes him unable to enjoy the company of men or women. The fire he breaths keeps a certain distance from him and other humans. When they come too close to him, they'll get burned.

Why He Joined The Circus
When he was little, he lost both of his parents. As he lived in a poor neighbourhood, there wasn't anyone who had enough resources to take care of him properly. Most of his family members had died early because of some illnesses. That's why he taught himself fire breathing. That way he could perform on the streets and earn some money from the people passing by.

At one moment, the Ringmaster noticed him. He was one of the first persons to actually start a conversation with the boy. Shane was so impressed by him, that he agreed immediately when the Ringmaster asked him to come to the circus. He was finally going to have a place to live and people who care about him. The only condition he had, was that the Ringmaster helped him with one last show to say goodbye to the people in his neighbourhood. Afterwards, he followed the guy to the circus.

His Behaviour with other people
When he talks to other performers, one is never going to see him smile, get angry or show any other emotion. It's not that he won't be nice and polite or that he will say something rude, but he simply will keep some distance from the others. He won't start a friendship with them, mainly because of the contract.

However, when he is doing his performances, he actually does show emotion. He smiles a lot and shows actual happiness. When he is alone, he does it too.

His Audition
The male in front of me had a bright smile on his face. His arms were raising into the air, showing the empty space between his arms and the long sleeves of his vest. At first, nothing seemed to happen. However, when his face started to form a grin, I started to notice the dark red color appearing. It slowly grew larger and larger until a flare filled the whole room with a heat and excitement. My eye lids were partly covering my eyes from the bright light in which the male was bathing. Flames were coming out of his sleeves in the form of wires. They were forming circles into the air, until they went for his mouth after a couple of seconds. He opened his mouth and blew the fire wires away, so they turned into a shower of sparks. The sparks formed the image of the wings of the devil before disappearing completely. The guy didn't say a single thing, he simply grinned and raised his arms into the air. "Did you enjoy Satan's Flame?" He asked with a loud voice, clearly enjoying the enthusiasm of the visitors. The public answered with loud cheers.

Café Crème, the Catmaid Café! ♥

Megan nodded as she was told to be a waitress that day, while Jet was forcing a soft smile on his face. However, it may have looked a bit creepy even as he wasn't used to smiling. When the first customers were walking in, they were both taking a deep breath. It was time to get into character. They looked at each other for a moment before turning to the customers. Although they were both working there for quite some time, Jet still had a hard time getting into the character of a friendly cat. He got used to it though after serving some customers.

Jet went towards the table that Amelia signed at. He put on his fake smile, which he always used when he was working. It wasn't a bright one like the others had, but he guessed that it was good enough. He ignored the complaints about it and simply enjoyed the compliments about him being a bit different. "Good morning, miss! What do you meow?" A smile appeared onto the female's face, that meant that he was doing well. "Well... I would like a coffee and Breakfast Set B, please." He winked as he answered the woman: "Whatever you meow."

Megan meanwhile went from table to table with a bubbly attitude and very bright smile. Her working personality was very different from her normal personality, she had had those two personalities for so long that neither of them felt fake anymore. At first she was a bit shy, like every day, but after serving several customers, she got into her second personality. "Welcome at Café Crème, what do you prefer, mister?" She said with a soft voice, her head a bit tilted to the side and smiling at him. "A green tea and the Strawberry Shortcake. Thank you, miss." Megan nodded as she answered him: "Of course, mister. That's a meow-tastic choice!" Then she noticed that Naomi was looking for her, so she went towards her. "Were you looking for me? ... Oh, and which customer was it?" She asked while staying in her working personality. She got one of the ones the customer had asked for and brought it to them. "I'm sorry for the wait, miss. Enjoy!"

Jet went to another table with several females. They were laughing as he arrived, so he wanted to sigh deeply as those were the kind of women that he hated the most. The popular ones with a lot of make-up, laughing all the time and not smart at all. "Good morning, misses. What do you meow?" He said with a wink, but a straight face. He couldn't force himself to smile, but he simply looked like he always did. Not angry or sad, but without emotion. The women seemed to like it as they answered with a smile: "We want two Breakfast sets A, three Breakfast sets C and one Breakfast set B... Oh, and six coffees." He nodded. "Whatever you meow." He says before leaving the table and going to the kitchen. "March, two Breakfast sets A, three Breakfast sets C and one Breakfast set B... Oh, and we need six coffees." He said to March as Minkyu was doing the interview with the new girl.

Jet looked with a straight face at Amelia, but one could clearly see that he was disappointed. He put his left hand in his pocket while rubbing the ear with his right hand. "Alright, alright. I won't..." The first part of his sentence came out very loud, a little too loud for his usual behaviour. The last part came out as a sad whisper.

"Isn't it?" Megan said with a soft smile on her face as March complimented the kitten. The kitten looked with a sad face at Megan, which made her decide to adopt it. "Well, we can't let it die on the streets. I will adopt it and it's a good idea to use it as a mascot!" A bright smile appeared on her face as she went to put the kitten on the patio. It seemed to feel comfortable out there. The sun was shining and the wind was blowing to prevent it from getting too warm. It was perfect. Her hand grabbed some leftovers from her breakfast out of her pocket. It was wrapped in some paper, she didn't know where the paper was actually from. "I know I shouldn't feed you my food, but you look so skinny." She whispered while standing up again. After looking at the kitten for a couple of seconds, she went back to the others.

Jet watched how Naomi entered the café. He answered her with a "Morning." while Megan was more focused on the girl who walked inside the café after Naomi did and fell. "Are you alright?" She asked with a straight face, but a soft and caring voice. She put out a hand in front of her to help the girl stand up. "You have to go to Amelia and Minkyu for the interview." She said while pointing to them as she probably didn't know who they were. "Welcome..." Jet added in a silent voice.

Extraordinary

The birds were falling to the ground, which was heavily shaking. There were cracks that made the Earth tear itself in several pieces. Everyone was panicking, screaming, crying and searching for others to hold against their chests. Humanity was close to extinction at the moment. It was after a couple of weeks that everyone had calmed down and started to look for the cause of the disaster. Apparantly a meteorite had landed on our planet. Scientists were searching for days to find others, but it seemed like we were not in any danger anymore. Everyone was relieved and started to rebuild their houses, their relationships with relatives and loved ones, trying to follow their daily routines again. However, the meteorite had a special... effect on humans.

Everyone who was too focused on one particular activity seemed to have changed. One who loved to run and was planning to take part in national and international competitions changed into a cheeta or an antelope. One who was a national champion in jumping high changed into a bird, so that they could fly as high as they wanted. One who was extremely focused on fashion and beauty changed into the symbol of grace and beauty, a swan. But the changes were not limited to the physical form of the humans. Some were so focused on martial arts that their personality changed. They became so violent that they could not think anymore. It was as if they had lost their conscience.

Luckily not everyone changed. Most of the ones who did, were teenagers and young adults. Very young children, adults and the elderly stayed like they were. Scientists were so shocked by the events that they gathered some of the teenagers and young adults. They wanted to experiment with them, search for their new boundaries, look how far they would go. They would test them, but... is that still ethical? How long is it until the teenagers and young adults are going to protest or flee?

---

The rules:

- The minimum age of a character is 12 years old and the maximum age of a character 25 years old.
- Your character does not simply love what they did before they changed, they were obsessed with it.
- Not everyone who has changed goes to live inside the laboratory, so your character has a reason for going there or someone who pushes him or her to go there.
- The changes can be limited to ears, tails, wings, etc.
- Romance is allowed, but do not write out erothical scenes in the thread.
- The minimum length of your post should be 1,500 char(acter)s, which is approximately two paragraphs (you can see how many characters you have in the right corner).
- The minimum frequency to post is once a week.
- Title every post with the name of your character.
- More than one character for one player is allowed.

Let me know if you are interested, I am looking forward to start!

While the sun was trying to find its way through the curtains, Megan was still asleep. She didn't move and was completely silent. Arriving on time wasn't her greatest talent. As usual Jet had to use his key to enter her house and later on her bedroom. "Morning", he simply said. However, Megan woke up immediately. "I overslept again?!" She yelled. She didn't wait for his answer to take her clothes and disappear in the bathroom for twenty minutes.

Jet was waiting in a calm way. Well, it looked that way for someone who didn't know him. Someone who knew him well enough would notice that he was pretty stressed about being on time at work. It was the same routine every day, but he couldn't help worrying about it. After Megan was ready in the bathroom, he went down the stairs without a word and opened the door. "Just take the food with you. You can eat it on the way." And with that the two left the house.

On their way to work, they came across a little kitten who seemed to have no home. There was a sign with it that one could take it with them for free, so Megan didn't hesitate and simply took it in her arms. "It could come with us. Our café has cats as theme, so..." She didn't finish her sentence as she knew that Jet wouldn't argue with her at all.

When they arrived - right after March - Jet opened the door for her as she couldn't use her arms while holding the cat. A soft smile appeared on Megan's face. "I picked up the sugar like you asked, Amelia." He whispered while looking for the cat headband. The moment he found his and Megan's, he took them, gave the pink one to Megan and put the green one on. "And I found a homeless kitten, why don't we use it to promote the café? Our theme is cats anyway." Megan said with the smile still on her face.

Jet didn't seem to care about the cat anymore and went towards the sweets that where made for sale. "They look so good." He said while staring at the sweets, almost drooling.
