Character Lounge

Character Lounge

For those of you who don't know: In a character lounge, we dump characters from stories we wrote in to one spot and watch them interact with each other.  It's great for learning about your characters.  Anyone up for it?

Location: Back alley in New York City, this will be especially fun for characters who don't even know what electricity is.  >:D  We all use the same location, ftr.

Character: Dyani Ather
Gender: F
Age: 15
Looks:  Long, black hair, green eyes, tall, thin.
Clothes: Forest green leggings and tight-fitting shirt.  She has a quiver of arrows over her back and a bow over her shoulder along with a sword at her side.

Character: Alistair Kioth
Gender: M
Age: Early twenties, late teens
Looks: Brown hair, brown eyes, taller than Dyani, average wieght.
Clothes: Brown pants and loose shirt.  He has a sword.

Dyani: ~poofs in and glances around~ Where the heck am I!?

Alistair:  ~also poofs in and grabs the hilt of his sword~  What just happened?

Dyani:  ~worried look~ Where's Durn!? 

-Dyani looks around as if expecting to find her spaniel running up from nowhere.

Alistair:  We have to get back to Iringar.

About people who can actually tell what each other are talking about, such as Draco and Elyana: should they be in the same group or in different ones?

I think maybe the same group. Because, at least, Shade and Myla, who are related in an odd way, will be sticking together, and Jesse does what Jesse does and nothing else.

Also, I am adding just one more character because it has come to my attention that WE HAVE TWO, count them, 2, BOYS. Out of Draco, Elyana, Shade, Myla, Celeste, Lily, Nico, Cara, Dyani, Ava, Demelza, Tala and Kaia, we only have Jesse and Alistair. SO, Jesse's lonely, so he's another guy. Only prob is that he's not that friendly.

Name: Kyrian Amiran

Species: Kree

Age: 17

Gender: Boy, duh.

Appearance: Long for a boy black hair. Black eyes. The rest below.

Physical aspects: Too tall. Too skinny. Torso too long and limbs too long. Teeth too sharp. Black hair and black eyes. NOTE: THere are no whites in his eyes. Not in the iris, not the pupil, anywhere. Big, black ovals. Ears slightly pointed and too big. Six fingers. Spikes. Spikes are kind of like special fingernails, except he has those. Kree can use a certain muscle and four inch spikes extend from their fingers, made of bone. Kree bone is very, very hard, and almost unbreakable. Spikes can be lethal. And wings. Don't fold onto his back. Kind of like bat wings.

Personality: Cynical. Slightly arrogant. Defensive.

Notes: Spikes can only extend when fingers are straight. There are two kinds of kree: meat eaters and vegetable eaters. Digestive system can't handle one. Lucky for our characters, Kyrian is a vegetable eater.

I think we should split up characters from the same story; the whole point of this is to see how our characters react around different people and settings, right?

K so post your character's name with what group you want them to be in. :)

Shade can be group 1 and Nico Le group 2.

 

Cara Coope; group 1

 

 

Haha spammy says fook. Sounds like spook. Are you scared spammy? Or book. Yes, I like books too :)

I will add two boys (to even out the genders) and a girl, but I'm not sure if i'll be able to play all of them. The first one (Vindol), someone else can play, or we can just have him be...in third person (meaning no one plays him).

 

Name: Vindol

Age: 17 Cindekian years (about 34 human years, but still a teen according to his planet's years)

Species: Cindekian (Cindek is the planet's name)

Appearance: looks human, but has unhumanly pale eyes that contrast with his dark skin and dark hair. also is slightly taller than an average human.

Personality: bossy, but also kind when it counts.

Clothes: his planet's equivilent of jeans and a hoodie. 

********

 

Name: Jay

Age: 16 

Species: shape-shifter

Appearance: short black hair, bright blue eyes, light skin, about 5" 6' in height.

Clothes: (cool) black jumpsuit; boots; (with blades that stick out that are useful for fighting and climbing) belt; (with flashlight, switchblade, miniature tranquilizer gun, high tech skeleton key, comms unit, and silver pendant- in the shape of a bird- on it) grip-gloves (to grab and/or climb up slippery surfaces).

Personality: stubborn, a tiny bit arrogant, uses sarcasm a lot, but she also has good leadership skills.

Other: belongs to a group of shape-shifter spies that works to protect shapeshifters and humans alike from evil creatures/people that want to hurt them.

*********

 

Name: Jonathan David (nickname: Jadie [get it: J.D?])

Age: older than the others, around.....oh, i don't know....probably about.....641 years old!!! But still looks 19 (he was 19 when he died and was brought back by a vampire/turned into a vampire)

Species: VAMPiRE!!! XD

Appearance: medium-brown skin, dark brown eyes and hair, about 5" 10'.

Clothes: changes with the times. now, probably tennis shoes, a grey T-shirt, and khaki cargo pants.

Personality: usually friendly, but when hungry (for blood) you should definitely steer clear of him.

Other: can run insanely fast, can jump insanely high, and when he tries really hard he can sometimes read other people's minds (but it makes him super tired to do it).

I"ll add a boy!

Name: Tavven De Wazor

Appearance: Black shiny hair, smooth pale skin, short and thin

Clothes: Blue robes, black boots, hood

Personality: Quiet and shy, loves traditions. Sometimes doubts that a girl can do something that's usualy done by men.

Other: Wants to be a wizard. He is technically a character in a story that I'm writing for this month's story contest.  

Tavven: *poofs up in a cloud of green smoke* Oh, no!!! I'm never going to be a wizard if I'm that bad at teleporting!!! Where am I??

Snake: Be warned that Myla, Shade, and especially and Jesse will not be that friendly to Jadie. Long story involving Holly Blackthorne.... considering that Holly keeps trying to kill them, she's something close to a vampire, and she nearly did kill Shade...

Tiffany: Myla and Shade really don't appreciate the whole notion that girls can't do stuff that men usually do... considering that the Police, the bad guys in their world, are actually all guys, no girls admitted... Tavven is quite near to getting his but kicked.

Another thing about Kyrian: Feet can curl around things and pick them up. Is missing and eye and has an eye patch due to an incident involving, questers, swords, and something that were quite like fireworks...

So....

Shade's Group, Group 1: Shade, Cara, Draco, Kyrian

Nico Le's Group, Group 2: Nico Le, Lily, Myla, Jesse

Undecided: Ava, Demelza, Vindol, Jay, Jadie, Tavven, Elyana, Celeste, Tala, Kaia, Alistair, Dyani,

(Just to let everyone know if no one wants to take Vindol I’m ok with just getting rid of him.)

(nd sorry if it seems like i’m taking over your characters in this post.)

 

Jay: *poofs in* What the heck? Is this......New York?!?!

Jadie: (or J.D, if you want to call him that.) *poofs in* Whoa. How'd I get all the way to New York City?!

Jay: Who are you? *reaches for her tranquilizer gun*

Jadie: I should be asking you the same thing! Did you bring me here?

Jay: No! Last thing I remember I was in the middle of...erm...a...meeting. And then, "poof" i'm here!

Jadie: *Doesn’t realize Jay’s a spy* Well, I was in the middle of a....erm....a...meal. *clears throat nervously and wipes his mouth, thinking there might be blood on it.*

Jay: Whatever. Let’s just figure out what happened. *doesn’t realize Jadie is a vampire*

Jadie: Fine by me. *Doesn’t realize Jay is a shapeshifter*

*Both hear voices*

Jadie: Hey, do you hear that?

Jay: Yeah. Let’s go see if it’s someone who can help us.

*Both walk over to the others*

Jay: Hey, people! Can you help us?

Shade: Not if you yell at me.

Jay: Sorry. (<-- sarcasm) Can you help us figure out how we got here?

Nico: Only once we figure out how we got here.

Myla: It appears you’re in the same predicament as us.

Jadie: *clears his throat* So you don’t know how you got here, either?

Tala: Nope. None of us do.

Jay: Well that’s just wonderful!! (<-- more sarcasm, if you couldn’t tell)

Kaia: It could be worse. At least we’re not in the middle of a desert or something.

Jay: I could survive in the desert as long as I wanted to if I got stranded there. It would be you guys that would be dead.

Tala: (also being sarcastic -->) Wow, you're great at making friends, aren't you?

Jay: Oh, be quiet. *glares at Tala* 

Jadie: *continues conversation to avoid the girls fighting* I would be alright in the desert too.

Shade: And why is that?

Jadie: umm........

Shade: What's that?

Jadie: well, I can't.....really.....die.

Jesse: so you're immortal?

Jadie: Not exactly....... 

THE END!!!! :) Cliffhanger ending! Sort of! Someone else can continue if you want.

Tavven and girls... the thing about that isn't that strong. And he hardly ever voices his doubts. Also, he'll be in Group 1.

How' bout everyone just writes as their own charrie? That way the charries are written properly and everyone knows what's going on?

Oh, and guys, your protrayals of Ava are pretty awesome.

submitted by Olive
(October 1, 2011 - 6:01 pm)

Elyana: Group 1

Celeste: Group 2

 

@Olive: What do you mean by "writing as our own characters"? I'm kind of confused about how that would work.

submitted by Alexandra, age XII, Never Land

I'm pretty sure Olive means that we write like we would in a normal RP, each person writing from their character's point of view. (Right, Olive?)

Depressing how threads die when nobody wants to post.

OK peeps. Let's get moving.

Writing in first (or third) person only! Your characters, not others! It's time to learn! Not to mess around with other people's characters!

We should split it into two new threads because people posting from one group here and another group there will be confusing.

SO...

Group/Thread 1: Shade's group: Shade Cara, Draco, Kyrian, Tavven, Elyana,

Group/Thread 2: Nico's group: Nico, Lily, Myla, Jesse, Celeste

Undecided: Hurry up and choose, peeps! Ava, Demelza, Jay, Jadie, Tala, Kaia, Alistair, Dyani

So... how we got here...

Myla Saurini, Hunter, lost in City 5N

Jadie was far too much like Holly. Besides the path that Holly was insane and blood crazy, and so far, Jadie, well, wasn't, he just moved too fast. I've seen Shade move, mind you.

Oh. That makes sense. Immortal, a bit like Holly, yes, yes, that would make a lot of sense. That means any minute now Jesse is going to start screaming. And possibly freezing things and making everbody into ice statues. I put my hand on his shoulder, waiting for him to figure out what I had already figure out.

Jesse watched Jadie and Jay and just about everybody except Ava carefully. Suspiciosly. Not his fault that he was suspicioius. Shade can do that to you.

And Jesse worked it out. Jadie was just a mite to pale,

Will post more later.

Sorry I was cut off earlier.

.

I will always remember this line, it's Ava talking about cars. "Do they talk? Jesse: *facepalm*" It makes me smile every time I think of it.

.

Myla Saurini

And Jesse figured it out. Jadie was just too pale, just too fast.... and reminded Jesse just too much of Holly.

Jesse let out a little cry of despair. Even here, Holly's ghost followed him. I grabbed his neck in a headlock, and held a dagger against his stomach. When he's afraid, he's a horrible fighter. When he's terrified, he's a worse than horrible fighter. But when he's calm, he's good. When's he's angry, he's better than good.

Jesse grabbed my arm with both hands and tried to get free. He tried stepping on my toes. He tried beating his wings against my stomach. But it didn't work.

Shade, like the idiot she was, immediately assessed the situation and then shrugged. Jesse could deal. She's so heartless sometimes.

The rest of them just stood there, puzzled. Ava tapped Demelza "What's wrong?" she asked.

Demelza put a finger to her lips. "Shhh. I'm not sure."

"Jesse," I whispered into his ear. "Stop. It's not Holly. It's not Holly's twin. It's not Sasha 1 or Sasha 2. Stop. You're making a scene. Think about Ava. Don't make her scared." After a few seconds, what I said finally sunk into his head. It's not Holly. She's not going to hurt you. It's a boy, for Trafen Klaj's sake. Don't make a scene in front of Ava. She's a little kid. She's seven. She doesn't need to be scared.

That's Jesse's problem. He has a soft spot. In our world, you don't have soft spots. Soft spots get you killed. But having one is okay, I guess. For him. He's still technically my prisoner, and he can shoot ice and water. He can have a little soft spot. That doesn't go for the rest of us though. I had a soft spot, when I was nine, for my little brother Charlie. Not anymore. He's dead, you see.

And Shade makes a decision. Just like I knew she would. Some reckless, stupid decision that would look like an amazing choice in the end. And at the same time, Nico Le was making the same decision, but a bit subtler. They're very similair.

"I'm out of here." She said it so simply she could have been asking for another piece of pizza.

****

Oh, ugh. Dinner again. I'll try to finally get to the last part after dinner. Is anyone actually reading this?

 

I am.
