This Hurricane's Chasing Us All Underground

I haven't written anything since I did English last year (almost a year exactly now), but I know exactly how you feel. Higher exams are swelling and all I'm doing is writing. Thanks for the nice words though.

This Hurricane's Chasing Us All Underground

I liked my first paragraph, trying to set the scene and all which took a while to write, but after that I lost the writing techniques and resorted to 'Let's just get this thing out quick'. Since we've got this thing going though, I'm going to try and be more consistent. You're post was great though, kept the same high quality throughout.

Thanks! :D Will post IC as soon as I can. Don't have access to a computer all the time, much like you it seems.

@Tancuras

Great! Yeah, I'm fortunate that way. Thanks for letting us know though, just so we don't get mad and understand what's going on if you haven't posted in a while.

Good stuff guys! You're all free to post in the IC whenever you want now. Post your intro and we can wait and see if everyone else posts. If they're taking too long we can skip their turn basically. After the first intro posy cycle, post whenever but only after two people have posted since your last one.

Name: Cecil Ambrose

Age: 20

Appearance: Cecil is a broad youth, standing at six feet three inches with somewhat developed muscle and a large bone structure. He has tanned skin and thick black hair cut within an inch of his scalp. His eyes are a pale green, sharp in a perpetual frown. His nose is straight and slightly bold, and stubble often coats his jaw. He favours dark clothing, often wearing bluejeans with a black shirt and sports jacket and black runners.

Year of Education: 12

Favourite Subject: Physical Education

Personality: Cecil is first and foremost an isolated individual, unskilled and inexperienced with other people. As he grew into adulthood, his social fear diminished, leaving behind bluntness and stark disinterest. He is often numb to the energy around him, and strongly independent. Another side-effect of his introverted nature is his quick temper and violent anger, and he is prone to physically lashing out when in distress. Usually only inanimate objects are targeted by this habit, but it can stem to other people in the worst of times. In the best of times Cecil is a clear-headed and thoughtful individual, quick-learning and wilful with strong coordination and problem-solving capabilities.

Background: Cecil grew up in a relatively untroubled family, though his livid outbursts quickly made others wary of him. He never had an easy time in school, and at a young age was often the target of aggression from his classmates. In his 10th year, Cecil altogether ejected himself from the school system, finding seclusion in his bedroom deeply more comfortable. He returned to school after accepting it as a hurdle he needed to overcome, joining a local highschool in a special degree that permitted him to attend until his 21st year.

Significant Relationships with any other Characters: No developments.

@Tancuras

Accepted, interesting character! Post it in the Characters tab!

Might write up a CS, if you'll take me.

@WilsonTurner

I won't ever say no to that. I'll take you, Mr Turner.

Name:
Valerie Peterson

Age:
17

Appearance

Year of Education:
11

Favourite Subject:
Mathematics

Personality:
Valerie is both organised and self-motivated. She is opinionated, quick to question - she tries at school, but is certainly no natural genius - and has a strong inner sense of justice. She is optimistic, with a quick, quirky sense of humour. She would not consider herself to be shy but is emotionally reserved and whenever an emotional situation arises, she prefers to brush it under the carpet with a short, nervous laugh.
She has a rather black-and-white view on the world and finds it hard to accept things that don't have a definitive answer.

Background:
Valerie is not one to elaborate on her home life.
Her parents are fairly wealthy and she has three elder brothers and two older sisters, all of whom were high achievers - it all looks good...on paper. She has learnt to live in their shadows and content herself with her slightly-above-average grades.

Significant Relationships with any other Characters:
Not currently

Other:
Although not overly sporty, she does like jogging - it calms her mind and helps her think, when she becomes overwhelmed.

@Andromeda

Great CS, accepted! Pop it in the Characters tab and you're good to go in the IC!

Slice-Of-Life, Young-Adult Age, Lake-Side Cabin Summer Vacation (Interest Check)!

Definitely, I've been looking for something fun and light-hearted like this for ages without having to start my own.
