Character Café!
Character Café!
In some part of the world that many have heard of, but probably never given much notice to, there lies the sprawling arms of a city that I'm sure you've heard of, but reserved little thought for. This particular average city has everything an average city is supposed to contain- towering skyscrapers, darkened allyways, well-trodden sidewalks with the occasional piece of litter catching the occasional breeze like a tumbleweed, and narrow townhouses with peeling façades squashed next to brightly lit storefronts advertising everything from mattresses to Thai food. Coincidentally, it is between such a down-trodden town house and a Thai food restaurant that a not-so-average building is nestled like a jeweled egg in a bird's nest. A structure with large, glass windows that many a tourist has tried to peer through, only to walk away thinking about the new shiny watch they are going to buy whenever they get where they are going.
But beyond those glass windows lies a café like no other. A place full of people that come and go from various imaginary dimensions- willingly or not. Sometimes it is a bakery, sometimes a coffee shop. Sometimes it serves spicy food that literally lights your tongue on fire, and sometimes you might receive a bowl of never-ending pasta. And in gold letters above the marble (or occasionally obsidion) counter, there are the words 'The Character Café'- established 1314.
****************************
Ok! This is basically a thread for any of your characters- they could be in an RP, from a past or current NaNoWriMo, from a random daydream you wrote down on a random page in a random notebook, just so long as they are your characters- to hang out at random café and interact with other people's characters! The café is constantly changing- depending on what day it is, it may become a coffee shop, an all-you-can-eat BBQ buffet, a fondue restaurant- you get the idea. Post your charries below. There is no limit to how many you can have. If you already have a charrie sheet for the character in question, just copy/paste it. We will start roleplaying as soon as six people (other than me) join, but anyone can join at any time after that. Happy Roleplaying!

Please top this Admins! It is such a good idea!
Amber~
I walk into the restaraunt, hoping that this won't turn into another 'Starbucks' fiasco. That was bad. The CIA and rogue magic in the same room.... Not good. I see a sign that says seat yourself and slip into a smallish booth. Maybe Rory and Moon will get my Wind-Message and meet me here. To pass the time, I practice using the Wind to levetate a small napkin in the air, and when that gets boring I start doodling images of an opal-chest moon owl. I think Pearl would like it. I ought to show her sometime.
Red~
I smelled the bakery before I saw it. The scent of fresh bread has always been one of my favorites- right up there next to pine and a new pair of sneakers. I slinked through the alleys, following my nose, until finally, I found it. I opened the door to hear the jangle of a bell and the chatter of voices, each speaking a different language and dialect, no two the same. I picked up a few familiar to me; Elvish, English, French. New Yorker. I saw a tall brown-haired girl sitting in a booth, somehow hovering a brown napkin in the air in front of her. Huh.

Can I join ?

Jarrrrrviissssss, where oh where have you been all this time, you wonderful person? Anywho, welcome back!
(l've always wanted to start one of these things, but l'm too lazy to write it out, ha.)
l'll be entering three characters, maybe a few more later on because l love writing large casts of characters. For some context, all three are from the same novel, a space opera-type sci-fi novel.
Name: Ikumi
Appearance: Tall, nearly six feet tall. Has eyes, hair, and skin the color of coffee. She is one-fourth alien, however, the only why you'd be able to tell was from her prominent horns. They grow slightly above her hairline, thick, curved to a pointy end and dull gold. Has a large frame and a stocky build, the kind of person you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley at night.
Personality: Somewhat resevered, serious and mature. Oddly motherly to everyone she meets--to the point of it beng kind of awkward.
Name: Finch
Appearance: Very orange hair, greenish, muddy eyes, normal height and build. Always, always wears black and a mostly blank, partly dead serious expression. Not really a remarkable-looking person--nor notable.
Personality: Dull, cold, tends to leave the impression of business-likeness even when it's not about business. Sharp. Observant. Can be a snarky, oddly nice in the strangest of ways--but only if he wishes to.
Name: Grey Bird. Goes by Grey.
Appearance: Slightly short, blond hair, grey eyes. Looks vaguely lost, out of palce or childish most of the time. Wears a knee-length black coat that looks like it's been found during the French Revolution.
Personality: Depressed. Always vaguely sad for no apparent reason. Not friendly, per se, but good with people. Humourous to the point of annoyance. Rarely actually helpful or serious. Scatterbrained. Overly dramatic.
(January 3, 2017 - 12:14 am)
I'm joining! Should we post a charrie sheet for our characters first?
(January 3, 2017 - 2:23 am)
Sure!
(January 3, 2017 - 5:30 pm)
Name: Kat
Age: 15
Description: tall with light brown hair tapering out to black at tube tips. Green sweatshirt and a black and red sword strapped to her back.
Personality: that's what I'm hoping to find out.
I may may post some more charries later.
(January 3, 2017 - 1:25 pm)
I'll join!
Name: Rex
Appearance: average height, flaming red hair, different style every month (currently a mohawk), bright green eyes that always seem to be laughing at you, wears bright colors that often clash unexpectedly with his hair, but always seem to work somehow.
Personality: outgoing, dare devilish, mischievous, clever, he loves learning and will often study or do homework at the weirdest moments. LOVES razberry pie. Also anything else sweet, but especially razberry pie.
Ill do do a few more characters later.
(January 3, 2017 - 6:37 pm)
Name: Raksha Lloyd
Appearance: Jet-black hair, deep, coffee-brown skin, brown eyes, hair is sleek and short, wears a white shirt with thin red and blue stripes, a magenta sweatshirt looped about her waist, skinny jeans that are too small, and lime-green high tops.
Age: 12
Personality: She used to be strong-willed and inquisitive, asking questions a lot. But certain experiences scarred her, and now she is shy, quiet, and reluctant to talk. She has learned that your questions can be answered easily if you just listen to people. Also, if you act completely silent, people begin to think you are dumb, and talk more openly in front of you. Raksha has a good memory and is a fast runner, but she isn't very physically strong.
Name: Magnus Crowbard
Age: 14
Appearance: Like all solar people (he lives in a colony on the sun) he has dark hair and copper skin. He is also tall and thin for his age, has dark eyes instead of the usual violet-red, slim nose, wears a pair of white jumpers complete with a built-in cooling system, has apron pockets filled with tools showing his position in the world of mechanics.
Personality: He has always been a dreamer, speculating about vastly complicated machines. He wants to be a renowned machanic like the rest of his family, but lacks the skill in math. He wishes he were the type of funny, humorous person everyone wants to be friends with, but on the sun colony, that isn't much of an option.
Here are my charries! One is from a RP and the other from a past NaNoWriMo. I might add more later...
(January 3, 2017 - 5:53 pm)
This is so fun!
Hm, what charries to use? I think I'll use Guiseppe and Piero, who are characters in Brooklyn's Newsies RP.
Also, I'm writing a story called The Rod Street Raiders, which is about nine girls who start this baseball team in the 40s when all the boys go off to war. One of the girls used to play baseball with the boys and isn't willing to give it up, so she finds other girls who will play with her. Maybe I'll bring them.
Name: Giuseppe (Giu) Russo
Age: 16
Backstory: Lived in Italy with his family until he was about nine, then came over to America so he could have a better life. He lived with his Uncle Edoardo and cousin Piero, who both worked in a factory in Lower Manhattan. He started out working at the factory. They then discovered that with his 'cute' face and small figure, he could make more money being a newsie. So, he started selling newspapers.
He wants to either go back to Italy or bring his family over to America someday. He misses them a lot, but doesn't want to leave Piero, who is like his brother.
Appearance: I posted a picture on Brooklyn's thread. Floppy chocolate-colored hair, warm brown eyes, olive-toned skin, young looking face. Short, scrappy, wearing usual clothes of the late 1800s (suspenders, collared shirt, trousers, boots) and his signature newsboy cap. Carries a bag with all his papers.
Personality: Charming, 'innocent', knows how to swindle people, cheats/steals, doesn't keep promises.
~~~~~
Name: Piero Capodicci
Age: 19
Backstory: His mom left he and his dad when he was seven, because his dad was going through some problems then and she couldn't stand it anymore. (Edoardo has changed, now) Guiseppe came to live with them in Manhattan when he was twelve and Gui was 9, and at first, he brought his cousin to the factory to work there. That didn't work out. Now, Piero works in a clothing mill with his uncle and a lot of the other Italian immigrants from Lower Manhattan.
Appearance: Tanner skin than Giu, rough hands, tallish, wiry. Has shiny black hair, dark eyes, and a bit of a rasp/cough because he smokes.
Personality: Honest, can keep a secret, opinionated but does not express his opinions often. One he is set on something, it's hard to get him to change his mind. Snarky around certain people, like Guiseppe.
Also: Sometimes he wanders around/leaves Manhattan with no warning. It's really scary to Guiseppe and Uncle Edoardo because they never know what could be happening to him.
(January 3, 2017 - 8:34 pm)

Apperance: About five and a half feet tall,thick chocolate brown hair, mostly loose with four small braids becoming one,light green eyes, pale skin, a faded pair of blue jeans and a dark green T-shirt, white socks and dirty blue and white running shoes, and dark blue jacket. You wouldn't look twice if you see her in the street
Age: Looks about twelve or thirteen
Personality: She is with a small band of theives, but she doesn't like to steal that mutch. She would rather spent time in quiet places and work on the specil book she is trying to write. She doesn't like fighting and will do almost anything to avoid bloodshed. She likes nature, but doesn't like cockroaches, spiders or deep water.

My charecter is the charrie from a solo write, but I was to late and (not pointing fingers) but they didn't accept it and told me the whole process of people making solo writes. But to make it a little bit mixed with my imagination I am "twicking" it a bit. Here my charrie is:
Name: Sophie

Wepons: She has two blasters that blast out fireballs. The blasters are the colors of fire.

Here are more:

Always has a sword strapped to her back, and knives hidden in her boots. A peregrine falcon sits on her shoulder. His name is Zante.
Personality: Kind and thoughtful, generous, impatient, athletic, cautious, quiet, a good leader, patient, a fierce fighter and competitor. Won't allow anyone to call her Prellia except her best friend Lessa and adopted father Laster.
Backstory: her parents were King Macmillian and Queen Marillo of Starrdale. They were killed and her home Castle Balan destroyed when she was a baby by the Fel people who wished to take over Starrdale. Her older sister hid Prell inside a secret hiding place within the castle walls. Laster later found her there and took her to his home in The Heart of The Great Forest. Laster is The Great Forest's protector. He is a large koala who wears golden eyeglasses. They live in a grass hut in The Forest. Prell grew up there, knowing that one day she must set out to conquer the Fel King and reclaim her rights. But, the Fels will know when she leaves The Heart of the Forest and will pursue her. This is for my NaNoWriMo.

What Just Happened?
(January 4, 2017 - 4:32 pm)
Name: David Michael Cambent (from Spread Your Wings, if anyone on BaB has read it. *cough* Major spoilers in this post if you have.)
Age: Well, he's made to look about 14. More on that later.
Appearance: Scruffy ginger hair, lots of freckles all over his face, green almost-gold eyes, pale skin and short and skinny, wide brown-framed glasses, wears things like plaid polos and soft pants, has two enormous golden-red phoenix wings on his back. If you look very carefully, on the side of his head is a thin gash that looks somewhat like a scar, but isn't tecnically one. His wireframe (inside his shell) looks like a metal skeleton, with lots of wires snaking up to his blue and green data chips and mainframe.
Personality: Artsy, shy, very nervous and jumpy, tends to get scared very easily, cautious and careful, never rushes into a situation headfirst, enjoys painting and sketching and will shrink into the back of a crowd. Doesn't like loud noises. Very gentle and understanding with friends, a good listener.
Backstory: David Michael used to be just like everyone else in middle school, a normal kid. However, an secretive medical organization kidnapped him and a few others kids, both friends and enemies, and experimented on them with a new brand of cell, Apto Potericyte. While most effects of the STEM cell are thusfar unknown, it gave all four of these kids wings, and other... enhanced features. When David Michael was captured, though, it was revealed to him that he was never flesh and blood, or human at all--he only appears to be. In fact, he's a robotic creation of the syndicate. At this café, though, let's just say that he's on his own and not struggling with any of the problems in the book, but David Michael is aware he's a robot (it'll be kind of a sensitive subject).
