The Mad Hatter

The Gifted Grounds (just click on this and read.. Im bad at titles)

With this being posted up in casual I really only expect about 2-3 paragraphs but they can be as long or short as you wish... I will set the standard hopefully with my intro IC post.

Hope this helped :)

@Drazah

Actually, I meant how often you expect posts. I can't manage a post every day, so there's that...

My Character

Name:
Katerina "Kira" Talanov

Age:
Twenty-three years of age (27)

Height:
5'10" - 178cm

Weight:
176lbs - 80kg

Appearance:
Kira is considered a very attractive young woman by most; with her soft features, almond-shaped eyes, button nose,and plum lips, it is easy to mistake her for that sweet, innocent, and lovable “girl next door” type. Her hair is sandy blond with soft, wavy curls and is cut rather short so that it only reaches the top of her shoulders. Her eyes are a rich violet with a certain shine to them, like a sparkling amethyst, and framed by long, white-blond eyelashes. Although her face would in most cases be classified as pretty or beautiful, Kira has gone to great lengths for her body to be perceived as sexy. She was by nature blessed with a round type of body, with wide hips and generous breasts, but would also be rather chubby, were it not for her strict diet and exercise plans. As long as she sticks to those, she keeps a lean form that would be described as “hourglass”. She has very smooth and almost flawless skin, with very few scars or blemishes to show. She is very pale, though.

She favors tank tops and hot pants or sundresses during the summer, while she usually wears tight-fitting jeans and cardigans in the winter. She never wears heels, but has several different kinds of pretty flats for her different outfits.

Personality:
The best way to describe Kira's personality with one word would be “Confident”. Kira is a person of strong beliefs and she will not waver from her path no matter what anybody says. Despite her somewhat gray morals when it comes to her personal interests and preferences, Kira has a very strong sense of what she feels is right and wrong and will not stand by to see the weak and poor abused.

Background:
Born and raised in Russia, Katerina set off to a brighter future in America the day she turned eighteen. She worked as a stripper by night to afford going to school during the day.

Ability:
Kira has noticed that her emotions seems to affect others more than usual and that people oftentimes comment on her scent, despite her not wearing perfume.

Fun Facts:

• Although originally from Russia, she actually has better grammar in English than Russian.
• Despite being lean and fit, she still feels fat and was actually close to developing an eating disorder in her teens.
• Her favorite color is purple and because of this her favorite part of herself is her eyes.
• She handles sunlight very badly and burns like a ginger.
• Her hair was white as snow when she was born and got gradually darker through her childhood, hitting the same shade as it has now by the time she hit puberty.
• The name “Kira” was what her mother called her when she was a child.
• Despite being so obsessed with her own appearance, she actually cares very little about others'; she believes that it is what is on the inside that counts.
• Despite being a pretty blond, Kira is actually quite smart. She has an IQ of 145, making her a near-genius, if not an actual one. She also have Master degrees in both Biology and Physics.

I've got 4 questions:

1. I already sent you a PM about my idea for an ability, so that is my first question.
2. Do our character have to be 18?
3. How will this "university" function? 'cause I know next to nothing about how American universities/colleges work - I'm European (danish).
4. How much posting is expected/required? 'cause I'm a mother of 2 studying medicine and have limited free time.

Sure, I'll give this a whirl. Might be good to get back in the game after a long hiatus.

I'll start work on a CS when I see more people giving interest here; I don't want to waste my time making a CS that I'll never use.

Rose

Name:
Alicia Rose Sanders, but I usually go by Rose.

Age:
Twenty-eight

Gender:
Female, though I do have androgynous days and days where I feel like I should have a penis.

Sexuality:
Pansexual, but I usually just say I'm bi, since everyone knows what that means.

Number of kids:
Just the one. A daughter. She's 10.

Where do you live?:
A rented house with a big yard in the outskirts of town. 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, living room and kitchen.

Favorite things?:
I like running and drawing. I also like collecting things. Cooking, and especially baking, relaxes me. I like cartoons, too. And comics. And I'm an amateur photographer.

Least favorite things?:
Cleaning. Dealing with my baby daddy.

Dog or Cat or Other:
My daughter has a bunny, but I like all animals.

Eating habits?:
Other than not eating lamb or veil, my eating habits are normal, I suppose.

Occupation:
(Certified) Personal nurse to a disabled man.

Zodiac and how you feel about it:
Virgo. I do not really feel anything about it.

Activity Level:
Pretty active, I'd say. I run 3 miles every day.

Smoker?:
Ex-smoker. Stopped the moment I knew I was pregnant and haven't touched them since.

Would you date a smoker?:
They'd have to be damn perfect, but I suppose I would not be completely opposed to it.

Describe your perfect date:
Something casual, but personal. Something where we can talk. Not a movie, because we cannot talk and not a dinner, because we have to wait till the end of it to get away if there's not chemistry. Definitely something where we meet there, so there's no picking each other up. But I don't know. Maybe just a walk in the park and getting some coffee or something.

Give us how you would describe your personality:
I think I'd describe myself as reserved or shy, but also as open-minded, helpful and loving. I'm very protective of those I love and very loyal, too. I'm not sure what else to tell you.

Might as well give this a go.

Is this happening or not?

Naruto : Gobigakure no Sato

There we go! Finally! A post!

It's terrible and I should be shot for writing this, but I guess it gets the job done in FINALLY getting on with things. Also, this was an awfully hard post to write, 'cause I had no clue how she should react to any of it.

Naruto : Gobigakure no Sato

Haruka released a breath she did not quite realize she had been holding, along with a strained chuckle. She was absolutely livid, but tried her best not to let it show on her face. She really wanted to literally smash the laughing guy's face in or maybe just kick him really hard in the nuts, but she repressed her murderous thoughts in favor of replying to what seemed like a sincere apology from the male prostitute that had now stepped in front of her and was looking for the offender. When his gaze stopped and landed on a man who stood, winded and looking like he still wanted to keep laughing despite his coughing fit, Haruka released another breath, but rather than being accompanied by an awkward chuckle, this one came with a soft sigh.

“It's fine,” she assured with a wide grin, trying to save some face despite her earlier obvious discomfort, “I was just … I wasn't really … I mean,” she tried, but failed to come up with a reasonable explanation as to why she, a trained ninja, would freeze up at something as innocent as a hug. Her face was burning by now and she decided to forgo the explanation and just answer the question she was asked, “It's Haruka,” she blurted, “My name, that is. It's Haruka.”

The slight crowd that had gathered due to the sudden, bombastic laughing fit of the stranger was starting to dissipate and before she could embarrass herself any further, Haruka took a slight step back, just enough to make it clear that she was making distance between the two of them, but not enough to make it seem like she wanted to get away from him. She did not really mind him. However, instead of engaging in further self-humiliation, she turned to the one who had laughed and felt her anger flare again. She was pretty sure the slight twitch of her eyebrow was visible as she, with a slightly strained expression on her face, asked the simple question, “Can we help you with something?”
