So I think
So I think I found an RP idea. It's a bit odd, a bit experimental, so y'all don't have to do anything with it if you don't want to, but I'm interested to see what you think.
THE PREMISE: everyone fears the alien Empress. everyone is bound together by their fear of her, but simultaneously, always alone because of it. everyone is a distorted reflection of the first person your character really and truly lost. scabs / scars / blood are marks of honor. almost all poetry is viewed as propaganda for one's own dreams / hopes. augurs / prophets / oracles are rarely right; often ridiculed for their own teachings. the characters meet through a Romeo & Juliet-style feud, but instead of families, it's political factions (royalists vs. rebels). the scene is set in URSIA.

Here's my character sheet:
NAME: Adara Ziva Sokoloff
AGE: 17
GENDER: female
APPEARANCE: pixie-cut black hair, grey eyes. short (as in about 5'1").
PERSONALITY: easy to anger, but also easy to forgive. has very major memory problems. sometimes is literally paralyzed by her emotions. when she doesn't take her meds, she's overcome by nausea / dizziness / fatigue / paranoia / delusions / something similar to a head cold. is a prophet (in the real world she would be considered to have multiple personality disorder/dissociative identity disorder). she has very violent mood swings, but she's most often sad. she forgets to eat without reminders, and her room is plasstered with art she's created / her own poems / reminders that FOOD IS LIFE. due to a traumatic experience with a boy when she was younger, she feels very uncomfortable around mostly all boys/men. her father is the only man she trusts. her mother is one of the only women she doesn't trust, aside from the Empress, if she could truly be termed a woman. she has nightmares involving that boy sometimes. she has very few close friends, but her close friends are all trusted with her deepest and darkest.
BACKGROUND (do they oppose or obey the Empress?): "rebel for life," her parents called her. both sides of her family and all of the kids she grew up playing with are rebels; whether they're open about it or not is irrelevant. her mother has some royalist blood, though, and slaps adara if she acts like a (political) rebel in front of her. the thing with the boy happened when she was about 11. she's been spitting on the faces / doors of royalists since she was young. ("like father, like daughter, right, adara?" her father said to her once when she was 13.) she's nice to the royalists at school, but only because she knows all of the school officials are royalists as well, and would have her expelled in an instant. & also, she's graduating in a year, so what does it matter?

I'll join!
NAME: Larinia Pasmos
AGE: 14
GENDER: female
APPEARENCE: longish curly golden blonde hair, piercing blue eyes, usually wears a dress that compliments her blue eyes.
PERSONALITY: kind, LOVES animals, tomboyish (loves the outdoors, climbs trees,etc) she has a pretty bad temper, and will always stand up for what she believes in. Free spirited.
BACKGROUND: Larinia grew up in a large house, with a large yard and plenty of room to roam. She loved animals and the outdoors since a young age, and opposes the Empress. 'She isn't the boss of me!' Is how Larinia puts it. Her mother wanted Larinia to be more lady-like, like her sister, but she wouldn't have it. She can climb trees better than any boy in the neighborhood, although they don't have many close neighbors since their plot of land is so big. She also has a horse named Saphire, and three dogs she found as strays. She plays with the wild animals, and they all trust her.

Can we start soon?
Name: Li Bina
Age: 13
Gender: Female
Appearence: (Asian) Dark brown hair, light brown skin, and thin and long brown eyes. Wears bright, neon colors.
Personality: Untrusting. Sometimes has urges that she can't control, like to punch someone or to run away. No one has figured out how to stop it. She will only take people as friends who she has known for some time and she is sure that she can completely trust them. Li is very smart, but people don't know it. Li lives in tents put up in random places, teaches herself everything, and is always on the run.
Background: Used to obey the Empress as a young child, but the Empress killed her family, so she really hates her. Li doesn't remember her parents and older brother, because they were murdered when she was only three.
