Wild Wastelands High - A Pre-War Wild Wastelands Spin off - Recruitment and Interest Drive

[Generic NPC 22]

[color]Wild Wastelands High School (A Wild Wastelands Spinoff) - Recruitment and Interest Thread[/color]
Attention Teacher and Students: Class is in session!​

War... War never changes...

"I need you to deliver the package. Can you do that?" Henry asked Thomas as they huddled up with the others, rain pouring down upon them like someone had placed a nuke in the Potomac River and detonated it.

Henry didn't immediately receive a response from his brother, the designated courier for their plans. He was to avoid contact with the enemy and deliver a battle ending blow. Looking at his brother, Henry saw that Thomas was busy looking over his shoulder, his eyes lingering on the form of one Lucy Black and her squad, the Smithford Dectuplets (Sylphee, Sunny, Stephy, Sherry, Shelley, Sydney, Shirley, Suzy, Sally and Sophy) as they prepared to go through their routine. The older brother sighed before giving the younger one a blow to the side of his helmet.

"Wake up! Daydream on your own time." Henry chastised him, the others in the squad laughing nervously, "Can you handle it?"

Thomas' attention was back, his eyes alert as he nodded eagerly.

"Right. Let's go." Henry McGee said as the squad broke up and went to their assigned positions.

This was the part the Thomas hated, the waiting. His muscles tensed under his uniform as he stared at his opponent across the line, a massive man clad in black, the numbers 209 prominently displayed on his chest, steam being exhausted from the depths of #209's helmet.

The signal was given and Thomas' muscles exploded into action as he retreived the package from his brother and broke through the front lines, evading a heavy assault from the side by someone Thomas could only identify as #556. A collision to his right signaled that Tombstone had made an opening for him. Threading the needle's eye between ally and enemy. Suddenly he found himself in the clear, the route to the delivery point appeared free of opponents.

CRAAAASH!

A bone jarring hit knocked Thomas to the ground, the package slipping through his arms before it was picked up by his assailant, #209. The world suddenly went black as #209's foot impacted against the side of Thomas' head.

"Fuuuuuummmmblleeeee!!!!" The announcer yelled, the last words Thomas heard before the world went dark. Springvale High had lost to Roosevelt Academy, 35 to 30 and it was all his fault.

Hello Mister or Miss New Resident of Springvale,

Thank you for purchasing a home in the newest and hottest development to hit the District of Columbia since the completion of Ten Penny Towers. I believe that you'll find that our town is shaping up to be a great community. If there's anything that can be done to make your settlement any easier, please do not hesitate to contact your local realtor. Included with his letter is an introduction to the shops and areas of interest around Springvale.

Sincerely,

Mayor Almodovar

Springvale Supply:
Run by the venerable Moira Brown and her father, Springvale supply is Springvale's alternative to the Super Duper Mart chain of Super Markets. Handling personal orders and consignment, their inventory is ever expanding and might include a few custom inventions of Moira's. Don't let her chipper attitude scare you, she's one of the shining beacons of Springvale.

Moriarty's Malt Shop:
An essential destination for your children and teenagers, Moriarty's Malt Shop is run by Colin Moriarty and his staff. Mister Moriarty is a shrewd business man and has become something of a self made man in Springvale. Nova Novachek, a recent transplant to Springvale and Gobtholemew "Gob" Ford are a few of the friendly faces that will serve you or your children the best sweets and shakes Springvale has to offer.

Vault 101:
Scheduled for completion in less than 5 years, the future site of vault 101 should be avoided by those without a role in completing the 101st Vault-Tec Vault. Many of your have opted to move to Springvale because of its proximity to the Vault and we assure you that we are working with Vault-Tec to open up tours of the facility for their current and future customers.

Vault 101 Internment Camp:
I know that with the outbreak of hostilities between our great country and those Communist Heathens in China, many of you have your concerns about the Chinese populace that reside within the District of Columbia. Never fear, working with the Federal Government, we have relocated many of potential Chinese spies to an internment camp where they will assist in the building of Vault 101. Please avoid any contact with the residents of the camp. You never know if any of those Commie Bastards could be a spy.

Springvale High School:
Located on the outskirts of Springvale, Springvale High is home to the Fighting Hawk Wasps. This school is located within close proximity to Springvale and offers an academic program that is on par with Roosevelt Academy (coincidentally the rival of Springvale High). For those of you who feel that Roosevelt Academy is more in touch with your economic or political standing, you will find that established Metro routes make the commute quite short.

Notes from the Co-GMs [user]Generic NPC 22[/user] and [user]Neuromancer[/user]:

Before we began following the adventures of the intrepid cast of the Wild Wastelands and their eternal and humor riddled quest to ... do whatever it is that they do... there was Wild Wastelands High School...

Welcome to Pre-War Springvale, it's a nice place to visit but it's probably not the place where you want your kids to grow up. Located just outside the proposed location of Vault-Tec's Vault 101, a thriving town has sprung up around the construction site where parents are free to raise their children, where children are free to make friends, where friends are free to grow up into teenagers and where teenagers are free to do... umm... teenagery things.[hr]

[HEADING=2]FAQ:[/HEADING]

Does [user]FalloutJack[/user] know about this?
Yes. Yes he does.

Why isn't [user]FalloutJack[/user] GMing this thing?
Because time. Between running the actual Wild Wastelands and London 2056 and being an Enclave Supersoldier, he's got very little time to run something such as Wild Wastelands High.

So, what is this all about?
It started with an idea, an idea that the already angsty adventures of the Wild Wastelands could be even more angst and humor driven with an injection of Teenage Hormones and melodrama. This isn't the Wild Wastelands as you know it. This is the pre-pubescent, combat light version of the Wild Wastelands.

I've played Fallout 3, there is no Springvale High... you're an idiot.
The proposed site of Springvale Highschool will be the future site of the town of Megaton... you know, that place near Vault 101 with the really high walls and the bomb? I'll give you some time to find it on a map... done? Yes that's the place.

If it's Pre-War Springvale and there's no Enclave, who are the primary antagonists going to be?
Good question. While the brunt of the Role Play is going to be the angsty interaction of the teenage and adult cast, there will be a place that will serve as the focal point for Enclave-esque trouble. It's totally going to be Roosevelt Academy, whose student body consists of the children of Vault-Tec, Nuka-Cola and Chryslus Motors executives and the children of Government officials.

Alright, I'm sold. How do I join?
Simply post a character sheet here and I'll let you know if you're in or if you're in. You're probably in.

Here you are, Arizona in High School Student form! I have another sheet on the way for Jenna.

Spoiler: Amanda Butcher AKA Arizona Red

Name: Amanda "Arizona Red" Butcher
Age: 18
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Grade: Senior

Physical Characteristic:
Eye Color: Green

Hair Color and Style: Dark Red, Rough Nite

Height: 4'9

Weight: 125 Pounds

Description: Amanda Butcher is a short, rather stocky young woman. Her skin tone is pale, her shoulder-length hair a dark red almost bordering on brunette, and her face is defined by high, sharp cheek bones, a pointed chin, and a crooked nose that has clearly been broken once or twice. Her eyes, narrow and clever, The way her hair is usually worn covers her left eye due to it's unruly tangles. In either ear, she almost always has a medley of earrings, most of them hoops.

Whenever she happens to be in school, she openly defies the school's dress code by wearing her leather jacket instead of the proper uniform jacket, and as a result is a daily fixture during Detention. She also refuses to wear a tie, instead keeping the top few buttons undone of her dress shirt, which is rarely tucked into the trousers she also opts to wear.

Whenever she isn't in a classroom, she tends to wear plain, short sleeve button-ups, usually white, blue-jeans that have clearly seen better days with a chain in place of a proper belt, a red bandana around her neck, and a pair of combat boots. She is rarely, if ever, seen without her signature black leather jacket, which is scarred in a few places and has a patch with the logo for Smith Casey's Garage on her left shoulder, and a blue bandana wrapped around her right forearm.

Personality: Arizona, known only as Amanda to particularly stubborn teachers and to extremely close friends, is very much a what-you-see-is-what-you-get kind of girl. Loud, in-your-face, and highly opinionated, she has a tendency to not only speak her mind, but spark fights in the process. She is a textbook definition of a troublemaker, and she takes great pride in it.

However, she doesn't let that affect her schoolwork overmuch. She doesn't see any point in making herself look stupid simply to spite Teachers, though she doesn't fully apply herself to studies. Instead, her passions lie in the hum of engines and the smell of grease, as well as working with her hands. That occasionally extends past working on the innards of a vehicle to starting brawls with other students, particularly those she considers too snooty, smug, or otherwise generally irritating to her.

Equipment:-One Customized Harlon Davids and Sons Motorcycle, painted black with a single red stripe down the middle. Named Lester.

-One set of Automotive Mechanic's tools complete with box, including one two-foot long wrench she keeps on her person almost at all times. Named Jackie.

-One length of heavy steel chain, often doubling as a belt whenever she isn't in school.

-One small Radiation King radio, slightly battered.

-One black leather wallet with ID and business card for Smith Casey's Garage. Usually devoid of cash.

[Neuromancer]

I shall be working on Jonathan's sheet.

Spoiler: Edward 'Eddie" Callahan

Name: Edward "Eddie" Callahan
Age: 18
Ethnicity: Irish/American
Grade and/or Occupation (If School Staff): 12th Grade/Senior - Part-Time Mechanic

Physical Characteristic:
Eye Color: Emerald Green
Hair Color and Style: Dark Brown, Wavy long hair, halfway down the back and chest
Height: 6'6 feet/202 cm
Weight: 229 pounds/104 kg
Description: Broad, muscular and well known for his ...charming cheeky smile and bright green eyes, Eddie is one of the larger students, and certainly one of the more intimidating, if only by virtue of physical appearance. Eddie looks very much the deliquent, and his school uniform shows heavy signs of neglect: littered with motor oil stains, crumpled and even ripped at places. He further shows his indifference to the school dressing code by bringing along his black cowboy hat, easily recognisable by the grinning pin button it has, along with round sunglasses.

Out of school and when not working, Eddie dresses up like your typical metalhead. Leather trenchcoat with band patches, spikes on shoulders and sleeves, fingerless gloves, hat, sunglasses, torn jeans and boots. When it gets too hot, he usually wears his battle-vest instead, which has not a single spot without a band patch.

Personality: Manic and spontaneous, Eddie is a youth uncaring for the future, focusing instead living in the moment, following his whims, doing what he feels like doing.

Which, more often than not, means having fun.

Fun is a complex term when it comes to Eddie. It can mean any number of things, from something as mundane as playing the guitar, to fucking around (literally and figuratively), to getting into fistfights. There are few things that, under the right circumstances, he wouldn't call fun. Like, bullying, for example. There's a couple of reasons that bullying rates in Springvale High have taken a dive, and he's one of them.

Despite his highly self-indulgent nature, Eddie is mindful of friends and people he cares about, and is willing to lend a hand (though, much like with his whims, there's always a chance that he won't), and, as he treats helping people as serious business, it's at those times that he shows him more responsible and thinking side.

Equipment:
-A heavily modified, "hot rodded" Chryslus, painted black with flames at the wheels.

-A white Gibson EDS-1275 Double-necked guitar, along with assorted music gear.

-A green guitar pick, resembling a demon's head.

-A pack of cigarettes and a box of matches.

Perks/Traits (Existing or Custom Accepted):
Traits:
Social Butterfly - You are a socialising machine! You know everyone, and are known by everyone. As a result, you have good standings with all the various school factions. However, for the exact same reason, it is difficult for you to increase your standing with any faction, and any attempt may have catastrophic consequences with rival ones.

Childlike Faith in Childhood's End - Being a grown-up doesn't have to be depressing, right? You always maintain a chipper attitude even at the face of adversity, but should that happy charade be penetrated, your mood won't be improving for a while.

Perks:
Ace of Spades - You win some, you lose some, it's all the same to you! The bigger the odds, the greater your luck, and as a side effect, multiple choice questions are a breeze!

Symphony of Destruction - Your power chords aren't the only thing bringing down the house! When listening to music and for a period after it, you get a bonus to Strength, Agility and DT. Bonuses are doubled if you play the guitar


Rockstar Rising - You love it when the spotlight's on you! You get a Charisma and Speech boost proportional to the amount of people that are actively paying attention to you.

Mechanix - There's nothing like the feeling of hammering a thick, sturdy screwdriver into a well-greased socket. When it comes to crafting and repairing your skill is difficult to match, even if at times your methods are... unorthodox.

Born to Raise Hell! - You know how to do it and you do it really well! As if your stature wasn't intimidating enough, you know just the things to say and the gestures to make to come off as a sociopathic serial killer. You get a bonus to Speech when it comes to intimidating people, and that bonus increases if the person you're intimidating is shorter than you.

SPECIAL(Optional):
Stength: 8
Perception: 4
Endurance: 8
Charisma: 5
Intelligence: 5

Luck: 7

 

[Texas Joker 52]

Spoiler: Jenna Sorenson

Name: Jenna Sorenson
Age: 17
Ethnicity: Mixed Race (Black)
Grade: Sophomore

Physical Characteristic:
Eye Color: Green

Hair Color and Style: Black, Bobcat

Height: 6'1

Weight: 155

Description: Jenna is a girl that is, usually, easily overlooked by most of the student body at Springvale High. What little skin that she shows is a dark, freckled brown, her hair is black and styled in a long bob haircut that reaches to the nape of her neck and has bangs that cover her eyes completely. She is also easily one of the tallest, as well as one of the bustiest girls in the school, with a slightly thin build. The only part of her face that most people see are the shadows of sharp cheekbones, and a slender, pointed nose.

Either in or out of school, Jenna is rarely seen out of a turtleneck sweater of some kind, with the high collar usually covering the lower half of her face. Otherwise, she wears the rest of the standard Springvale girl's uniform, complete with miniskirt.

Personality: Due to suffering from mild social anxiety, Jenna has a tendency to seclude herself in dark classroom corners and otherwise tries to keep interacting with other people to a minimum. As such, not many people know her very well, but those that do know that she is a kind, soft-spoken girl, usually willing to help someone who asks when it comes to study and schoolwork. She doesn't have much in the way of friends, but those she does have she holds dear. Meanwhile, she does what she can to keep on good terms with the teachers, which is usually easy thanks to her quiet demeanor and good grades.

An unfortunate side effect of her being one of the curviest and most statuesque girls in the school, she tends to garner a bit of unwanted attention, particularly from guys. Thankfully, she manages to avoid this for the most part by being as unnoticeable as possible.

If Jenna has a passion of any kind, it's regarding science, particularly computer science and medical science to a lesser extent. As such, she's rarely ever seen without her Pip-Girl v0.8, occasionally tinkering with it in her spare moments.

Equipment:-One Jury Rigged "Pip-Girl v0.8" wrist-mounted personal computer, looking like a knockoff Pip-Boy 3000 with some exposed wiring. Painted black with red display, glitchy.

-One Vault-Tec Junior Chemistry Set, expanded with additional tools, vials, and chemicals to make a wide variety of concoctions, from Homebrew Nuka Cola, to Med-X, to Cherry Bombs.

-One heavy book bag, full of Science, Computer Science, Biology, and Math Textbooks, among others.

-Several packs of bubblegum, often being chewed behind the collar of her turtleneck.

Perks/Traits:
Traits:
Very Model of a Modern Honor Student - "Your grades are so good, you're on the honor roll! While speaking to Teachers or other School Staff, you get a bonus to Charisma and Speech whenever it involves schoolwork, but suffer a permanent penalty to same when interacting with other students."

Shrinking Violet - "You don't like to grab attention, so you stay at the back of the classroom. Your Reputation is automatically locked in a neutral state with all Factions."

Perks:
Computer Whiz - "RobCo Termlink Code is your second language, and electronics of all kinds dance to your tune! You get an automatic bonus to Science, and when dealing with any electronic devices or computers, you get a small bonus to Repair when applicable."

Flatfooted Genius - "When it comes to problem solving you're a natural, but no one can call you graceful. You get a bonus to both Intelligence and Perception, but you get a penalty to Agility."

Living Anatomy - "You paid a lot of attention during Biology Class. You can usually tell how badly someone is hurt just by looking at them and what can be done, and you get a small bonus to Medicine."

Junior Chemist - "While other little girls played with dolls, you had the Vault-Tec Junior Chemistry Set! You get a bonus to Science and Medicine when it comes to making chemical concoctions."

Unwanted Suitors - "No matter what you say or do, some guys can't help but like you for your big 'brains'. Whenever someone happens to be attracted to you, you get a bonus to Charisma and Luck when interacting with them, whether you like it or not."

SPECIAL:
Stength: 3
Perception: 10
Endurance: 3
Charisma: 6
Intelligence: 10
Agility: 3
Luck: 5

 

[Rip Van Rabbit]

Spoiler: Tessa - NPC

Name: Tessa "Rabbit" O'Hare
Age: 18
Ethnicity: Irish/American
Grade and/or Occupation (If School Staff): Senior/Grade 12

Physical Characteristics:

Eye Color: Dark Brown

Hair Color and Style: Straight, shoulder-length hair. Dyed-black with prominent red highlights. Worn in an asymmetrical fashion, Loosely clipped behind one ear while concealing her left eye.

Height: 5'9/175 cm

Weight: 125 pounds/57 kg

Description:

Tessa would very much fall into the "goth girl" label if appearances were any indication, so every inch of her disposition is geared towards giving off an air of someone that is not to be trifled with. With a hypocritical hatred for rules & regulations, Tessa's appearance is...deliberately aggressive, to say the least, especially with heavily tattooed arms and a lip-ring on proud display. Tessa looks like a teacher's worst nightmare and a delinquent through-and-through.

Clearly not one for rules (Yet rarely punished for her lighter indiscretions), Tessa's uniform is in complete disarray: Shirt untucked/rolled-up sleeves/black choker adorning her neck/studded leather armbands and knee-high black leather boots. One of the few personal touches of femininity that Tessa would allow is the light use of black eyeliner & red lipstick. (Although the infrequent use of lipstick serves a purpose beyond merely that of being a cosmetic choice. It's a signal to those that she is taking requests for acquisitions service.)

With a pale skin tone and a sharp gaze, Tessa's appearance inspires curiosity/uncertainty in others. While being easily recognisable, every aspect of her appearance is designed to give off a message. Who are those messages for? We'll get there in a moment...

Personality:
"If you're talking, you aren't paying attention."

Lets get to the point:

Tessa is a leader among thieves. Extortionist. Con-woman. Fraud.
And as such, Tessa runs an "acquisitions service" for the right price. The prices varies according to the order, but payment can be monetary or a slew of favors. Those that are under Tessa's thumb are in that position because of their considerable debt owed to her.

Despite the loud appearance, Tessa is actually a rather reserved individual, preferring to observe others from afar. However, this being school, interaction with others will be inevitable. Valuing loyalty & trust among the few that are close to her, Tessa knows that her notoriety is a weapon to be used, and this is one particular blade that she swings well. Frequently flitting between social groups, sometimes without even talking to the people (or leaving someone under her thumb to report back to her), Tessa is always on the lookout for business opportunities/new angles to work.

In spite of all that, she does show a softer side to victims of abuse. And in those rare moments an ex-boyfriend or a terrible friend will receive a taste of their own medicine. Not without a moral compass, Tessa judges rather harshly whether or not to take on a particular job, the request may backfire on the former customer if the request goes against her own particular set of rules:

- No chems.
- Fear is a greater tool than bloodshed.
- We're thieves, not bullies.
- There is honor among thieves.

Tessa is sarcastic, calm & collected among friends. Prone to nicknaming her own heists/techniques, even they can't help but groan whenever she proudly delves into a detailed explanation of the plan.

Outside of school, Tessa is either holed up in her room busy reading or blasting the metal music. Although she severely dislikes being at home, she is more prone to attending music gigs or staying out late with one or two friends.

Brief History:

A shattered teacup may be glued back together, but it will never quite be the same.
That's how Tessa felt after her parents got divorced at a young age. Their divorce was sparked by the pressure of having a second child, Mercy, Tessa's younger sister. During their separation, Tessa fell into her neglectful father's custody. It wasn't long before Tessa started acting out, amplified each time by the mother's increasing distance. It came as a greater shock when the parents had remarried, in a desperate attempt to bring the family back together. Too little too late...

Narrowly avoiding juvenile detention, Tessa decided to be rethink and redirect her frustrations. If life was taking from her, well she was sure as shit going bite back. Besides, there were smarter ways to put her talents to use...

Equipment:

- Bobby pins (worn in her hair, clipped onto her skirt) & lockpick set.
- Switchblade, hidden in her boot. Brass knuckles propped inside a thigh-holster hidden under her skirt.
- Modified schoolbag. False bottom, hidden compartments, you name it...
- Books, often comic books, to keep herself entertained during her downtime. She's quite the avid reader.

Traits:

Quiet & Reserved - "People find it tough to get to know you. Maybe people think you worship Dairy or perhaps you don't look as cool as you think you do while wearing an eyepatch. Regardless! People have trouble approaching you, but hey, those that stick around are greeted with your immense loyalty."


Perks:

Master Thief - "A Master Thief has a one-time bonus of +10% to the Sneak, Lockpick, Steal and Traps skills. Rob from the rich, and give to you."

Pickpocketing, mini-heists, gaining sensitive information to use as leverage over someone else --- Tessa prefers to combine a tactical approach to her more practical skillset, making her something of a mentor to other delinquents, while also solidifying her status as an acquisitions specialist.

Notorious - "Inspire fear, forge respect, get a gang, make enemies --- your name is out there now! A Notorious individual gains a large Reputation Boost/Penalty to the initial reaction of another person."

Tessa's status as an "honorable" thief tends to receive something of a mixed reception. Most openly avoid her, some view her as something of an anti-hero vigilante, others tolerate her until they have gotten what they wanted, hilariously there are those that attempt to defy her.

Untouchable - "Two wrongs don't make a right, but it gets the job done. The Untouchable is the guy-behind-the-guy-behind-the-guy using unorthodox methods to fix a problem. Receives a boost to Luck & Charisma but receives a Reputation Penalty to targets & Bonus to those that benefit from the act."

With a soft spot for those in trouble, Tessa is the bully who bullies the bullies. It's rare for Tessa to directly get involved in any sort of schoolyard conflict, but the third-party people involved that put an end to the conflict can always be traced back to Tessa. She might make a few friends, but she gains a greater amount of enemies.

Lucy will be on her way. - Done!
I am a little reluctant about Kristin. We'll see... - Can't think of anything concrete, so nope. (I miss her already)

 

[Rip Van Rabbit]

Spoiler: Lucy Black - NPC

Name: Lucy Black
Age: 18
Ethnicity: Isn't that, like, racist or something? Whatevs, I'm like totally white. Ugh! "Caucasian". Isn't that, also like, not true. I'm not chinese. These questions suck...
Grade and/or Occupation (If School Staff): Senior, duh!

Physical Characteristic:
Eye Color: They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. My eyes are blue, like the ocean you know? So I'm all deep and stuff.
Hair Color and Style: Long, straight blonde hair tied into twintails.
Height: 5'11/180 cm
Weight: (umm, rude!) 118 pounds/53 kg

Description: HBIC - Head ***** In Charge.

Tall, athletic, attractive, dextrous, joyous, gossipy and spoiled - you guessed it! Lucy Black is Springvale High's Head Cheerleader! (Wooo!) Due to her rigorous training, Lucy is noted for being quite athletic and dextrous (It's written here twice because she wrote it twice on her application form). Her good looks and penchant for manipulation charming others with her winning personality has made Lucy a rising star amongst the school.

Personality:

Born as an only child, Lucy knew no voice or opinion but her own and it was from a young age that she discovered that with enough kicking and screaming, you could have your way. Of course, she was too mature to stamp her foot or anything, but that doesn't mean that screaming has to be eliminated. Daddy, being a busy businessman, Isaac Black, working for a company still unknown to this day, had left his little princess in the care of several housekeepers. On the rare occasions where he would take his holiday break for the year, his daughter had grown up without him, without knowing how to effectively communicate with his daughter --- he spoiled her and gave in to every single whim. Lucy Black grew up content, happy & materialistically fulfilled.

This happiness, however, didn't stop short at herself though. Everyone had to know about how good her life is. At first, people attempted to discredit her, but the fact that Lucy could flaunt her money/strict diet/pampered lifestyle & an army of personal trainers meant that her ego was quite possibly the largest aspect of her personality --- second to her breasts of course.

Being the envy and adoration of every other girl that had sought validation through others, Lucy quickly discovered that the only thing more interesting than how good she looked in practically every outfit, were the lives of other people. Being at the center of attention and at the height of popularity, Lucy had access to the school's entire information network: gossip. (For example, I hear that Tessa girl has a little sister. Like why? She could have just given her away and bought clothes with real colors!)

Seemingly vapid and selfish, the Spoiled Princess knows something about everyone. Even if you're new, it won't be long until the queen bee knows who you are and what you're about, whether you have something she needs or if you are worth talking to. There is a place in her heart (somewhere) where she genuinely cares --- and that's her cheerleading team: The Springvale Sylphee's! (The name had undergone many changes due to the indecisive nature of the sisters short two eggs of a dozen. Besides, Lucy had a favorite) (Woo!). And also her oh-so-totally-hot-boyfriend-who-has-this-I-am-so-deep-and-misunderstood-thing-going-for-him. And he's on the football team! (Woo!)

Totally intending on marrying Thomas and like moving into a mansion with her cheerleading sisters, add part-time lingerie modelling and Lucy had secured a future career for herself.

Life was pretty much settled.
Nothing could go wrong.

Equipment:

- Good looks
- Daddy's money
- Daddy's car
- Gossip Endless supply of information

Traits:

Sex Appeal - "You've got the "right" stuff. Members of the opposite sex are attracted to you, but those of the same sex tend to become quite jealous."
Fast Metabolism - "Your metabolic rate is twice normal. This means that you are much less resistant to radiation and poison, but your body heals faster."

Perks:

Gossip Girl - "You are the first to hear the news and twist the story. As such, you are skilled at using your status as a platform for manipulation on a grand scale."
Center Of Attention - "You don't have friends. You don't even have a fanclub. You have a cult that worships you. If any damage is inflicted upon you, you can count on your legion of dedicated followers to back you up."

[Random Fella]

Spoiler: Robert Ghast

Name: Robert "Rob" Ghast
Age: 16
Ethnicity: English, Caucasian
Grade and/or Occupation (If School Staff): 10th Grade, Sophmore


Physical Characteristic:
Eye Color: Deep Blue
Hair Color and Style:
Height: 5'10ft / 178.2cm
Weight: 159 ponds / 77.2kg

Description: Rob has a rather medium build, not being overly large nor small in mass, though he has quite a bit of definition to himself, at least compared to a completely average body.
His face is soft in complexion, with a small smoothed nose between small blue eyes. His skin is not quite pale, but not olive, somewhere inbetween.

At school he generally dresses by code, mainly opting to wear the school jacket over the shirt. On both of his forearms just below the wrists there are markings, spreading about 10cm each in a random, yet almost artistic fashion. These markings are burns from a mistaken reaction, yet Rob often claims them to be tattoos or birthmarks, depending on who he's talking to. At any rate he usually attempts to cover them up. Sometimes he may even be covered in soot, depending on how he was spending his free time.

During his free time he usually dresses in casual wear, opting to wear hooded jumpers and tracksuit pants overtop.

As far as his expressions go, Rob is rather emotionally obselete, often leaving his face completely blank, or pretend to show emotion when he think's it's needed. Often times he'll stare from a far, but only by a notion of various quick glances, as not to attract any unwanted attention.



Personality:
Quiet and reserved, but still enjoying of fun at others expense. Raised a middle child, he became used to getting little attention from parents, teachers, and peers, often times having only a few, if any, friends. Often times he won't say a word unless spoken to, and rarely speaks out, especially in a group.

His accent is a slight English one, mixed in with the common accent in the town, having moved at quite a young age. In conversation some may pick it up instantly, or by certain words.

If he doesn't like the look of someone he'll often stay completely out of their focus, often finding the best way to deal with bullies and the like is to simply avoid the first contact. Though this has it's flaws, he rarely introduces himself to new groups, and socializing overall is somewhat of a pain to him.

However he does find fun in pranks, often visiting Al's Joke Emporium to pick up things such as Stink Bombs and other strange items. Generally he has the speed and guile to pull these off without being noticed, when things go wrong however, he is a rather good sprinter.

Rob also has a love for the old Chinese martial arts flicks, and growing up attended various different martial arts classes casually, on and off and on again basis. He also has a great interest in the more reactive side of chemistry, enjoying creating small bombs and noisemakers for his entertainment.



Equipment:
-A handful of Thunder snaps
-Micro-adjustment tools, for delicate work
-His lucky box of matches, the strike has clearly been overused
-A Power Fist his came across in his parent's bedroom, though it's too obvious to be carried around at most times



Perks/Traits:
Traits:
Socially Inept: It's not that you're an outcast, it's that you fear becoming one. Your skills increase when alone, or around very few others, but the more people around you, the worse your ability to react.

Out of Sight, Out of Mind: Kids these days will pull a straight 180 to claim that you're in their way, so best just to avoid their notice. You have a naturally high skill in sneak, as well as a reputation among less popular groups to knowing how to get out of trouble, however this means your reputation with groups such as greasers and sporties is almost non-existent.


Perks:
Act of Maturity: You know how to put on a straight face around adults, and to act like you care. You gain a bonus to Charisma and Speech around adult figures such as teachers, parents, and policemen.

Practice... Almost... Makes Perfect: Your experience over the school years playing around with different kinds of explosions (Items such as Stinkbombs and Crackle bombs are no exception) Have given you a permenant resistance to explosives, as well as a bonus to your explosives skill. However you have a permanent lingering oder of this, which becomes apparent if you don't bathe regularly.

Night Person: All those nights of staying up late have made you excel during the dark skies and cold temperatures. You gain +2 Intelligence and +2 Perception between 6:00pm and 6:00am.

Paralyzing Palm: Watching all of those Old Chinese flicks taught you a trick or two, before they were outlawed anyway. You have a small chance to land an unexpected attack to temporarily paralyze your opponent, this chance is increased if you are undetected at the time.

[Rip Van Rabbit]

Sorry Gen-Gen!

I have that itchy "kill Tessa + everyone else" feeling whenever I have too much on my plate. So due to time constraints lately, I'm relegating my characters to NPC's. Use 'em, kill 'em, whatever.

Spoiler: John Jacobs

Name: John Jacobs(in before Jingleheimer jokes.)
Age: 18
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Grade and Occupation: Senior, and Nuka Cola Delivery Driver.
Physical Characteristics:
Eye Color: Brown
Hair Color, and Style: He has medium length brown hair(Dark brown, near black), messy during the day, but combed, and slicked to manageable levels when he's on the job.
Height: 5 foot 9
Weight: 170 pounds
Description: A very average looking guy. He's got a nice square chin, and a cheery face with a bright smile... That sort of complacent cheeriness that all delivery men seem to have. He's fairly muscular from all the lifting of Nuka Cola bottles he has to do, and sports a very slight tan to him.
While in school he tends to abide by the dress code, and all. He usually takes time to make his clothes look presentable(Despite the fact that he puts very little effort in his hair), but it's not unheard of for him to come into school in quite a disarray after a harder day on the job.
Out of school he's almost always seen working in his uniform, his Nuka-Cola hat always being cocked slightly to the side. Due to his job he's also a well known source of free drinks in the town. If he is ever seen out of work than he's probably wearing some a cheap plain T-shirt, with some equally cheap jeans, and being all around unremarkable.
Personality
John tends to be a rather laid back man, taking most of what the world throws at him with a shrug, and a joke. He's very level headed in situations where others would panic because of this. He's a very reasonable, and responsible man in most situations... And yet somehow he always seems to get roped into the craziest schemes and situations. Maybe he picked a choice in friends, and but if his friends rope him into a plan , he always sees it through to the end despite his frequent protests otherwise, and will even go so far as to take the fall for his friends. He often acts as the voice of reason in any group he's in, and helps them stay out of TOO much trouble. He also takes great pride in the fact that he has a steady job, and has had it for several months, and is very work oriented most of the time.
Equipment
-A Delivery truck which inside of it is a dolly, a tire iron, a pair of jumper cables, and a jack along with a small stack of Grognak the Barbarian comics, and a bag of peanuts.
-One Nuka Cola uniform, that contains his worker ID, and a set of keys to the warehouse in town that houses the Nuka.
-A small, and rather dingry apartment that he owns. Only had it for a month, and his parents made sure it was close to them, just in case.
-Twenty bucks in a wallet.
Perks, and Traits
Traits:
The Cola Dilemma: "He who controls the cola, controls the world. You have access to nearly half a city's worth of Nuka. A great bargaining chip in most any situation... But that doesn't mean you can get away with giving it away all the time."

A Good kid: "You seem to be get off easy because your reputation. For whatever reason people teachers just seem to think of you as a good kid, you have a bonus in speech when you are caught by a teacher, but your reputation also gives you an equal penalty when talking to other Deliquents"
Perks:
Shop Provider: "You make routine trips to near every shop in town. You know most of the shopkeepers by name, and Vice Versa. You have a friendly reputation to the group Shopkeepers."

Lead Foot: "Your reflexes and driving ability combine to make you a very fast driver. You gain 25% speed when behind the wheel."

Work Oriented: "You can't get your mind off of work. If you aren't distracted you tend to get good grades"

The Voice of Reason: "In situations where others panic, you remain level headed. You get a bonus to Charisma, and Speech while trying to convince people to not panic."

[HEADING=2][color]Attention Students of Springvale High![/color][/HEADING]
A note from Principal Smithford​

[hr]

It looks like it's going to be a wonderful school year. We're currently awaiting the curriculum vitae for our Science Teacher (Jonathan McKenna) as well as another of your future teachers. Also, we're currently awaiting transcripts for a few other students.

The Fall Semester will be starting within the next couple of weeks while we get these items delivered into our hands and processed into our system. A few things to take note of.

The Homecoming theme for this year has yet to be determined. Please talk to Constance Sorrowfeld, head of the Homecoming Committee if you have any ideas.

Please note that disciplinary actions will be taken against students not in the school uniform while classes are in session. That doesn't mean that this school is all drab like those Roosevelt Academy kids. We encourage you to express yourself by tailoring your school uniform with any manner of alterations.

Please be careful on your way to and from school. There have been a number of disappearances recently in the D.C. area associated with the so called Pint Sized Slasher. If you suspect anyone strange, please report it to Sheriff Simms.

Finally, The Junior Enforcers of National Constitutional Law Against Various Enemies or Enclave are looking for members in Springvale. The application forms and personal background forms can be located at the office.

Have a wonderful rest of the summer and see you at the start of the school year.

 

[CrystalShadow]

Huh... Fun as this sounds, my familiarity with the setting is nonexistent, and I can't make much of what anyone has aritten so far...
I wouldn't have a clue about something like this...

 

[ServebotFrank]

I'm almost done with my characters, both will be submitted tomorrow at the latest. I'm kinda just editing them at the moment.

EDIT: I have literally four times now accidentally forgotten to save my work on my student character. Good job me.

Spoiler: Antonio De Leon

SPRINGVALE HIGHSCHOOL STUDENT FORM

Name: Antonio "Toni" De Leon
Age: 18
Ethnicity: Hispanic
Grade: Senior

Physical Characteristics:

Eye Colour: Teal
Hair Colour and Style: Black with a touch of grey at the temples. Medium length.
Height: 6'0''
Weight: 161lbs

Description:

Antonio is a tall male, with a lean build and narrow shoulders. He has a medium tan skin tone, raven black, medium length hair with a premature touch of grey at the temples which gives him a degree of sophistication, or so people say. When at Springvale High his hair is neatly combed, but becomes more ruffled throughout the day. His face is defined with a oval-shaped jaw line, high cheekbones, a slightly pointed chin, and a aquiline nose. The eyes, teal coloured like his mother, show a look of deep thought and concentration.

During school hours, Antonio is seen wearing the standard uniform though with slight modifications made to include some additional pockets for holding pens, pencils and occasionally notes. When the weather is colder or out of school; or when working on one of his many projects, he wears a white lab coat.

Personality:

Antonio acts most often in calm, polite and thoughtful manner, speaking with a clear voice that denotes confidence; though he isn't exactly what you'd call a social animal, preferring to work on one of his many special projects than attend social functions, unless of course presence is mandatory, so he isn't exactly what you'd call one of the popular students in a high school sense, but is respected by his teachers and some of his fellow classmates for the degree of work he puts in.

Whilst not considering himself an artist, his sketchbook contains some exceptionally detailed technical drawings and blueprints which help to explain how some of his projects work, something that people have noted on which is something he appreciates. He takes pride in his work, thinking that one day a creation of his will help the world. Although he is considered to not be a social animal, he is a friendly person when you get to know him better; able to lend a hand if needed.

Equipment:

- One Satchel Bag containing numerous Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Mathematics textbooks.

- Sketchpad containing designs and blueprints for various school and personal work projects, example of which is a custom-built Eyebot. Pens and Pencils included.

- Copies of Nikola Tesla and You, Big Book of Science and Dean's Electronics.

- Tool-kit for repairing robots and electronics.

Perks:

Robotics Expert: "You have in-depth knowledge regarding the inner workings of Robots. With this you can craft your own mechanical constructs, and even know how to properly disable them if the need arises."

Mathematical Savant: "For you, complex calculations are as easy as Pi! You have a better chance to get a higher grade in Computer Sciences and any class that has to do with Math, while getting a slight bonus to Science."

Intellectual Superiority: "When it's a battle of the brains, yours is bar-none the biggest. When dealing with others with Intelligence below 4, you get an automatic Speech and Intelligence bonus when arguing against them."

Tech-In-Training: "You may not be certified yet, but you know just where to find the parts you need for your next robotics project. When searching through machinery, you have a better chance of finding unusual or rare components, and have a slight boost to Science."

Traits:

Brains Over Brawn: "You prefer the company of clever people like yourself. As a result you gain a Reputation Bonus when interacting with members of the Intellectuals/Geeks faction, but suffer an equal Reputation Penalty to members of the Sportos faction."

[Neuromancer]

Spoiler: Jonathan Aristotle McKenna

Name: Jonathan Aristotle McKenna
Age: 46
Ethnicity: American
Grade and/or Occupation (If School Staff): Science Teacher

Physical Characteristics:
Eye Color: Brown
Hair Color and Style: Graying black hair pulled back, with a widow's peak
Height: 186 cm
Weight: 70kg
Description: Jonathan looks like a man way past his prime: Gaunt-faced, slim, and ever hunching forward, borderline malnourished, often with black circles under his eyes. One can't help but wonder how a man like him could ever teach a class.

But, when he enters the classroom, he's a different man. He stands straight, confident, with sharp eyes full of wisdom and an air of authority, commanding respect.

Jonathan's attire is formal, even out of class; Black vest with a red tie and a dress shirt, with the sleeves usually rolled all the way up to his elbows. When in public, he always wears a pair of black gloves.

Personality: If you were to ask the adult population of Springvale what Jonathan Aristotle McKenna is like, everyone, except perhaps for Isaac Black and a few choice others, would describe him as a nervous wreck. A reclusive, pitiful man that can barely make ends meet.

If, however, you were to ask the student population what he is like, everyone, except perhaps for certain good-for-nothing jock types, would say he is a most workable of teachers. Kind, understanding and undestandable, lax when he needs to be, but also stern when he feels his hand is forced.

Both accounts would, to some extend, be correct. Jonathan McKenna is a man that has been through a lot and is going through a lot, and it's often difficult for him not to collapse under the pressure. When he does, it's rarely pretty, though thankfully they don't last too long.

Jonathan takes his duties as a teacher with immense responsibility. When it comes to teaching, he has a way of pushing all of his baggage at the back of his head and focusing exclusively on his work, though there are times where his baggage may spill in. He takes the time to read through the folders of all the students he teaches, and pays attention to their maneurisms to switch up his methods to better suit their needs. In general, he likes to be involved with the students, especially those that are in his homeroom, and is more than willing to offer advice when asked for it, be it for school or not.

Equipment:
-A Pip-Boy 3000

-A leather bag filled with books, pens and other teaching apparel

-A hunting rifle, still functional, etched on the wall next to his bed.

-A pair of orange round sunglasses.

Perks/Traits (Existing or Custom Accepted):
Traits:

Mid-life Crisis! - You've grown old and weary! You get an Intelligence bonus and are wise enough to give good advice, but you crack quicker under pressure, and you often suffer breakdowns.

Neurotic Romancer - That divorce sure did a number on ya! You get a charisma penalty when it comes to the early stages of romance, but once you get to know that partner, that penalty becomes a bonus.

Perks

Spirited Teacher - Despite the meagre pay, you love your job! You get a large Charisma and Speech bonus when teaching, or talking about things you are interested in.

Beast Mode - Some buttons just shouldn't be pushed. There's a chance that you'll get a large boost to Strength, Endurance, Agility and DT during one of your breakdowns.

Lovable Sadsack - You are such a loser people just can't help but pity you! You get a bonus to other people's disposition of you, which increases the more miserable you look.

In Layman's Terms... - PV=NRT? E=MC[sup]2[/sup]? Keep it simple, stupid. When tutoring, you can describe complex terms simply, and your student ignores their Intelligence score when it comes to learning from you.

Empathetic - It's the gift that keeps on giving! You are adept at reading into other people's emotions, and get a Charisma bonus when it comes to making them open up.

[ServebotFrank]

Spoiler: Jason Douglas

Name: Jason Douglas
Age: 17
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Grade and/or Occupation (If School Staff): Senior, 12th Grade.

Physical Characteristic:

Eye Color: Green
Hair Color and Style: Brown, medium length curly hair.
Height: 5"11
Weight: 160
Description: Jason possesses a relatively average build with exception to the slight definition to his arms. His hair goes down about halfway down his neck and curls up at the very end of the strands. His shoulders are broad and he walks with a rather brisk pace. He is pale and he will be one of the first to remark that he seems incapable of getting a tan. His nose is slanted sideways due to being broken several times.

In school Jason wears the normal school uniform with a few differences. For one, Jason wears an exorbitant tie, far nicer than what the school expects the average student to wear. Despite wearing the a tie, he keeps his top button undone in order to relieve pressure of his neck which looks odd.

Outside of school he wears a striped plaid shirt with the sleeves rolled up alongside a designer wrist watch, blue jeans, sneakers, and a light grey jacket for when it gets cold. When working on his computer or car he wears a light t-shirt and black cargo pants.

Personality: Due to his family ridiculous wealth and their massive donations to the school, Jason is able to get away with way more than he should be allowed to. Though he is relatively extroverted, most of his friends hang out with him because of his wealth even if they do legitimately enjoy their time with him. During the school day he hangs around his group of yes-men and studying, because even though he probably could slack off with homework he decides not to. Though that won't stop him from getting one of his friends to help him cheat on an assignment if he's feeling particularly lazy.Despite his insistence that he doesn't let his wealth affect who he is, he does bully random students. He enjoys the odd power trips he gets from being above random students.

When he's at home, at the house that his parents bought him for while he was in school, he works in his garage on his computer or his car. While he's in there time just seems to fly by. In his home he is a complete neat freak and very few people are invited into his house and most of his parties are held at other people's homes.

Equipment:

-A smooth leather wallet.

-A small switch blade.

-A random assortment of tools.

-A journal filled with small, cryptic notes, used to keep track of potential blackmail.

Perks/Traits (Existing or Custom Accepted):

Traits:

Rich Boy: Who needs friends when you have money! You have an easy time getting groupies together but it's significantly more difficult to make real friends.

Popular!: Your reputation is sky high already! However, this means that people take notice of your more negative traits more easily. It's harder to stifle any gossip.

Perks:

Mr. Franklin says...: You have a much easier time getting others to except bribes! You will do all right here.

Mechanic: Hours of working with a wrench has taught you the intricacies of knowing how to work a simple lever. You now require less parts to fix more complex machinery.

Any Hole: Wow you have absolutely no shame do you? Also how brave of you! You love hitting on both genders and gain unique dialogue options to show your interest.

Computer Whiz: You know the ins and outs of computers and how to make them bend to you will. You have an easier time hacking than normal.

Fucking finally, I've done it!

Spoiler: Isaac Campbell

Name:Isaac Campbell
Age: 58
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Grade and/or Occupation (If School Staff): History Teacher

Physical Characteristic:

Eye Color: Green
Hair Color and Style: Mostly grey with hints of light blonde.
Height: 6'1
Weight: 185
Description: Isaac would be seen as imposing by all accounts. Serving in the military for over 40 years and eventually becoming a General, he was forced to retire after an unfortunate incident occurred under his watch. He still walks with a limp but most simply do not notice.

He has a strong masculine jaw and a crooked nose. Though his age is starting to show, his face appears rough and commanding. As if he simply ordered his body to not display weakness. While talking to subordinates (Students) he makes an effort to be the most important person in the room and to look like he towers above his students. To Teachers he adopts a more defensive stance to lay on a ruse of submission.

In school he wears black slacks, dress shoes, a grey buttoned shirt, and a black tie. Outside of school he dresses more casual, but barely, he just lacks the tie in favor of a black jacket. When reading anything he typically wears reading glasses.

Personality: Campbell is what would happen if an abusive parent had any power outside of the house. Throughout his military career he gained a reputation for expecting nothing less than perfection from his subordinates and that behavior has transferred to both his home life and his teaching career. Since a teacher's reputation is dependent on how well their students perform, he doesn't tolerate students who slack off during his class.

Though his children are relatively successful and owe their lively hoods to him, they all remain distant to him. The only person he ever showed anything other than contempt towards was his wife, Leslie. Her presence kept the children from cutting off contact from their parents altogether. When she was murdered during a robbery however, Campbell's behavior worsened and his children still possess lasting psychological trauma from his parenting.

During class he possesses contempt for any trouble makers and anything lower than a B is considered to be a failing grade by his standards. Any form of disruption is cause for immediate dismissal.

Equipment:

-A broken silver watch, an old present from his wife.

-A .357 magnum.

-Old issues of Conan the Barbarian, issue #1-20.

-Cuban cigars. Just recently banned.

Perks/Traits (Existing or Custom Accepted):

Traits:

Early Bird: Hey early risers! Enjoy a +2 to each of your SPECIAL attributes from 6 am to 12 pm, but suffer -1 from 6 pm to 6 am when you're not at your best.

Nepotist: It's amazing what you notice about people you don't like! Gain +1 Perception when talking to delinquents, but -2 when talking to Honor Students. (+2 to Perception from Early Bird does NOT negate the -2)

Perks:

Alertness: You've learned to keep your senses alert to any danger. When crouched and not moving you gain a +2 to your Perception attribute to help you find enemies before they find you.

Terrifying Presence: There's just something menacing about you. You love nothing more than scaring the folks around you!

Petty Grudges: Nothing's better than abusing your powers just to mess with a student who irked you once five months ago. You know how to best embarrass students in front of their peers.

Machiavellian: It is better to be feared than love! You get away with much more than you really should be allowed to.

[CrystalShadow]

Alright then. I kind of have this sorted out... Kinda. XD

Spoiler: Ayana Watkins

Name: Ayana Watkins
Age: 14
Ethnicity: Mixed - Japanese / caucasian ((english) American )
Grade and/or Occupation (If School Staff): 9th grade / Freshman

Physical Characteristics:
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color and Style: very long, black hair (it reaches at least the middle of her thighs), usually dyed purplish-red with pink streaks, and worn up in twintails
Height: 138 cm / 4'6"
Weight: 30 kg / 68 pounds

Description: Small even for someone as young as her, and exceptionally frail, Ayana is often ill.

Her often brightly coloured and very long hair, and generally cute appearance generally make her stand out in a crowd, even though she often tries to hide.
She would likely be considered very pretty if she didn't look so ill most of the time.

Her Japanese heritage is quite visible, dominating any white influence, and she is often regarded with suspicion as a result of people frequently assuming she is Chinese.
Her bright blue eyes are the only obvious clue to her mixed parentage.


She usually dresses in an unmodified standard school uniform, and generally obeys the dress code, though sometimes stretching the rules somewhat when it comes to hair accessories, often wearing excessively large, and cute ribbons, bows, hair pins, clips, or other more peculiar objects in her hair.

Outside of school she tends to wear a variety of skirts and dresses, most of which she brought with her from Japan.

Her childish nature and appearance is most visible in the cat doll she carries around almost everywhere, and the matching cat-ear backpack she usually has with her wherever she goes


Personality:
Ayana was born to a Japanese mother and American father, though they broke up when she was still little.
Up until recently, she lived with her mother in Japan, but her mother died unexpectedly, and much to her dismay, she was sent off to live with her father in America.

She had always been rather shy and withdrawn, but the combination of culture shock and trauma from losing her mother rather suddenly has made things considerably worse.

Her Father, Adrian Wilkins is in charge of a moderately sized international trading and shipping company. Though business has suffered as the number of international conflicts and resource wars have increased, the family is still quite a wealthy one.
Adrian does not have any housekeeping staff, though this is largely by choice rather than any financial reasons.
Adrian largely works at home, and his personal assistant, and various senior management staff of the company are frequent visitors to their house, though Ayana mostly ignores them.

The relationship between Ayana and Adrian is rather strained.
They never spent much time together, and barely know one another.
To make matters worse, Ayana reminds him of his former wife, both the good, and the bad.
He keeps his distance partially as a result of being unwilling to confront his feelings for his dead wife.

She knows she can get almost anything she wants from her father, but rarely makes any outrageous demands.
Though, often feeling rather homesick, she frequently asks for things to be imported from Japan which may well be quite difficult to get hold of locally, and expensive or difficult to import.

Aside from being painfully shy, she is also exceptionally childish for her age.
All together between her shy, withdrawn nature, suspicion caused by her asian appearance, odd habits, and rather childish behaviour, she has struggled to make any friends, even when people do take the trouble to talk to her.
Though few are openly hostile towards her, they usually don't want to hang around either, so she just gets left alone.
The most frequent reaction people have to her is either pity, or curiosity, but few people have the patience to stick with her odd, awkward behaviour for long enough to get to know her better.


Ayana is very intelligent, but pays no attention in class these days, and is at risk of failing most academic subjects.
Her exceptionally poor health also means she rarely takes part in any athletic events, or much of anything else that requires physical exertion.

She does however, have an excellent attendance record, in spite of her poor health.
Frequently she has come to school so seriously ill that the staff have suggested she go home again.
She almost always refuses, and stubbornly insists on staying.
The only time anyone has been able to send her home is when she has been too ill to offer any real resistance.

She frequently stutters and stumbles over words, and rarely speaks more than a few sentences, if at all, though this is entirely due to anxiety. She is quite capable of speaking English fluently, and language issues are not usually the cause of any of her social problems.

She did however learn her English almost entirely from some very expensive private tutors. While her English is near flawless, these tutors were all English, and as a result, she speaks with quite a strong English accent, rather than an American or Japanese one.

In spite of being so frail and sickly, she has impressive reflexes and acrobatic abilities. At least, on a good day.
What she lacks in stamina she makes up for in the sheer variety of crazy stunts she is capable of performing, though few people ever realise she can do such things, because she hardly ever demonstrates it.
It would be hard to imagine a tiny, sick little girl that at times looks as though she struggles to stand up, much less walk, would be capable of performing flips, cartwheels, rolls, huge leaps, and other acrobatics with ease.
That is, when she feels up to it. Which is hardly ever.


Though not a loner by choice, she struggles interacting with others, and has largely given up trying to make friends.
She can sometimes be seen staring at groups of other students, perhaps observing what they get up to, trying to understand how to better fit in, but not particularly succeeding.
Few people notice her doing this, but at the same time it is very difficult to hide anything from her. She is very observant, and usually spots the tiniest detail, though rarely mentions this. Nothing much gets by her, from the mundane to the unusual, to things hidden in plain sight.

At school, she often sits quietly in the back of her classes, or outside in the shade of a tree, reading a book (often these are Japanese books), or playing with an assortment of dolls and toys she usually keeps in her bag.
She may sometimes be seen with a lunchbox containing rice and other things, though she has become more self-conscious about this recently after noticing how unusual it was.

Outside of school she spends most of her time alone in her room, or sometimes sitting in the corner of the malt shop, hidden behind huge piles of sweets and desserts. Very occasionally she'll wander off looking for unusual mysteries, trying to see if there's anything about this place that can make up for feeling so out of place.


Equipment:

- Kitty Doll - No! Keep your hands off nekochan! She's my only friend! Well... You can hold her a little if you like... Just give her back, OK?
- Kitty backpack - It matches nekochan. I keep important things in here. Like my toys, and books.
- A Father's promise - "Hmm? Yes. Anything you want, Ayana. But Daddy's busy now. Just tell them to send me the bill or something."
- Bamboo sword - I suck at kendo, but this sword is my mother's, so it's important, OK? I Leave it in my room most of the time though.
- Lots of medicine - Essential for any sick girl. They might even work just a tiny bit. Who knows?


Perks/Traits (Existing or Custom Accepted):

Traits:

Chronic illness: You frequently suffer from illness or poor health, and everyone knows it. When suffering a bout of illness, you suffer a -2 penalty to all stats other than luck. However, people are more likely to excuse your poor behaviour, and let you get away with skipping otherwise compulsory activities.

Beautiful as the Rising Sun: Your exotic appearance and 'foreign' behaviour makes some people suspicious of you. The more paranoid members of society might even think you are one of the enemy. On the other hand, other Asians, and those fascinated with asian cultures will look upon you more favourably.


perks:

Child at heart: You are still in touch with your inner child, Improved charisma when interacting with children.

Acrobat: You can perform flips, tumbles leaps and other acrobatics. You can performs feats others can only dream of, and make them look effortless to boot.

Exotic interests: You read books others have never heard of. Wear fashions from far-off places, know facts and figures that others do not. Have unfamiliar hobbies, and generally act differently from those around you. You have a chance to know certain things others do not, and some are fascinated by you and your interests.

Unwanted Suitors: Being cute and pretty is all well and good, but it sure does attract some creeps and weirdos. Whenever someone happens to be attracted to you, you get a bonus to Charisma and Luck when interacting with them, whether you like it or not.

Cute and vulnerable: For whatever reason, you look as though you just can't take care of yourself. This brings out the protective instincts in many, who will attempt to look after or protect you, but also makes you the favoured target of people with more dubious intentions.

SPECIAL(Optional):
Strength: 3
Perception: 10
Endurance: 3
Charisma: 4

Agility: 10
Luck: 5

Huh. Did not realise it was that long. ~shrug~ Oh well.

I have in fact created a character sheet for her father too now.

Spoiler: Adrian Watkins

Name: Adrian Watkins
Age: 39
Ethnicity: caucasian (English American )
Grade and/or Occupation (If School Staff): N/A (CEO of trading and shipping co.)

Physical Characteristics:
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color and Style: Blonde, well styled moderate length
Height: 182 cm / 6'0"
Weight: 79 kg / 174 pounds

Description:
A tall, slender, stylish man, with striking deep blue eyes, very pale skin, and pale blonde hair in a fashionable style. His hair is a moderate length for short hairstyles (5-8 cm, 2-3 inches)
Usually seen wearing a very expensive suit and shoes. The model of a formal, elegant businessman.
The suits are usually dark, in muted, respectable colours, except for a brightly coloured tie of some sort.
Often purple, or bright red, or sometimes mint green, or other bright, bold colours

Underneath the suit he is surprisingly well toned, and his has a slim, attractive physique.
He is almost never seen with any facial hair, taking great pains with his appearance and presentation at all times.

Personality:
Adrian Watkins was born in England, to a wealthy family, who owned a moderately sized international trading and shipping company known as Transnational Trading and Shipping. (TTS international)
Showing an early aptitude for business, he started working at the company by the age of 21, and soon became a prominent figure in it.
Presently he is CEO and President of the company.

He speaks with a mild English accent, though it has significantly weakened over the years he's lived in America.

When the business moved it's headquarters from England to America, he followed, and moved along with it.

When he was 23, On an early business negotiation he was involved in, he met and fell in love with a Japanese woman. Miyu Shibata. They soon started dating, and got married, to the strenuous objection of her family, a rather formal, traditional japanese family, that strongly dissaproved of their daughter marrying a foreigner.
Ayana was born soon after, and they divorced only a few years later, when she was 3 years old.
Continued pressure from her family, and the associated stress proved too much, and finally succeeded in breaking them apart, even though they still loved one another.
His wife moved back to Japan with their daughter.
He took the news of her death rather badly, though he had rarely seen her since they seperated.

Now, as CEO he is faced with the increasingly volatile situation internationally. Shipping and trading goods across borders has become something of a dangerous, difficult task at times, and the company's finances have suffered somewhat as a result, though nowhere near enough to risk the company collapsing.

Adrian does not have any housekeeping staff, though this is largely by choice rather than any financial or other reasons.

He largely works at home, and his personal assistant, and various senior management staff of the company are frequent visitors to their house, though Ayana mostly ignores them.
This was a decision he made after hearing of his wife's death, so that he could better look after and support his daughter, who he was forced to take on at the insistence of the mother's family.

The relationship between Ayana and Adrian is rather strained.
They never spent much time together, and barely know one another.
To make matters worse, Ayana reminds him of his former wife, both the good, and the bad.
He keeps his distance partially as a result of being unwilling to confront his feelings for his dead wife.

Adrian does feel a strong obligation to care for his daughter, part of the reason why he now works from home.
However, he is emotionally distant, and in practice does little other than take care of her material needs.
She knows she can get almost anything she wants from him, but rarely makes any outrageous demands, though, often feeling rather homesick, she frequently asks for things to be imported from Japan which may well be quite difficult to get hold of locally.
With little understanding of how to behave around a daughter he has barely known for most of her life, he struggles to do much else for her, and often just shrugs, and leaves her to her own devices.
He worries about his daughter, seeing how bad her health is, and how she seems to struggle with everything these days, and the obvious fact that she would much rather have stayed in Japan. He simply does not know what to do for her, or how to connect with her properly

He is known for his charm, business skill, and talent for making difficult negotiations and trades work somehow.

He takes his work and responsibilities very seriously, sometimes, perhaps, too seriously, since, even though he chose to work from home, all he ever seems to do is take care of an endless stream of problems related to the business.

Known to be rather popular with the ladies, he can lay it on pretty thickly, and get many of them to do almost anything. However he lacks any real desire for such things, still being caught up with his dead wife, in spite of it all.


Equipment:

- locket. - One half of a pair. The other belonged to his wife. Ayana might possibly have the other one now.
- Laser pistol - Sometimes, you have no choice but to defend yourself.
- Trading connections - It's handy being in charge of a trading company. Whatever it is, you can probably get hold of it.
- Private aircraft - Call it an indulgence. Or a hobby. I like to fly this thing. When I have the time. Which isn't often.


Perks/Traits (Existing or Custom Accepted):

Traits:

Hard to read: You keep your feelings locked deep inside, rarely more than the tiniest sliver escapes without your permission. This gives you a bonus in situations where showing emotion is a liability, but a penalty when people expect you to show some kind of feelings, compassion or be emotionally supportive.

Unshakable grief: Something happened to you in the past that you never got over. There is a subtle air of sadness around you all the time, and any reminder of the cause of your grief makes it all the more apparent. People may show sympathy to your plight, but they may also wonder why you can't just get over it, and get on with your life. It was ages ago, right? So why do you dwell on the past?


perks:

skilled negotiator: You get bonuses in any kind of negotiation, trade, or deal. You can make things happen even when they seem hopeless, and get a good deal out of even the toughest of people if there is an exchange of some kind involved.

Well traveled: You've been everywhere, and then some. If it exists, you've probably been there at some point. You may not know it in detail, but it's surprising what you remember, and what you are familiar with.

Cultural sensitivity: Pretty much no-one's habits or customs surprise you. You know the basics of how to properly interact with nearly anyone from anywhere. This puts people at ease, and makes them think of you more favourably.

Stylish charmer: Lots of people are attracted to you. And if you felt like it, you could get many of them to do just about anything. All you need is a smile, and the right words.

will of steel: You are much tougher than you look. Nothing can break your will. It is nearly impossible to manipulate, blackmail, torture or otherwise forcibly make you change your mind.


SPECIAL(Optional):
Strength: 4
Perception: 8
Endurance: 5
Charisma: 8
Intelligence: 7
Agility: 4
Luck: 5

Further update:
I have a third character. Might be a new teacher. But don't expect to see her until much later on.
We'll see. XD

 

[Silence]

Character sheet! Probably the hardest thing in thread! D:

Spoiler: Violet Meyers

Name: Violet Meyers
Age: 17
Ethnicity: Caucasian (German-American)
Grade and/or Occupation (If School Staff): 11th grade
Physical Characteristic:
Eye Color: Grey
Hair Color and Style: Blonde, long, loosely tied together in a single ponytail
Height: 1,77m / 5'9 ft
Weight: 60 kg / 132 pounds
Description: 'Average' is probably what described Violet best. Neither small nor really tall, neither particularly thin nor thick, she was quite content in being what she was, minding her own business, learning for school, meeting with friends, occassionally having a crush on someone ? not ugly, but neither incredibly beautiful, using make-up would probably really let her shine ? if she wasn't too lazy to apply it most of the time.

At least that is what described her best until the last summer, which was not a happy one. Instead of spending holidays with her family, she spent it in the hospital, after having an accident she does not want to speak about, which led her to lose her right arm. Her main arm, that is, which means she has to learn writing anew, with her other hand. While being able to come back to school, she constantly tries to hide the fact that she is an amputee, meaning, she wears as much clothing as possible, jacket over school uniform and stuff.

Personality: Being average means ? staying out of trouble, in all ways possible. While not bullying herself, she stood back more than once, letting other people deal with the conflict. She is respectful towards the teachers, and argues more with the average student, if it's not doing any real harm. She is/was not picked on herself, and is respected somewhat, but not anyones favorite. She's very unsure what will happen after the accident, which changed her personality somewhat. She's more shy now.

Her parents support her in all ways possible, now, which more than annoys her, and if she doesn't just stay in her room, she tries to get away as often as possible, seeking someplace where she can feel normal again.

Equipment:
History books. Lots of them.
A useless arm prosthesis.
Jacket with all kinds of little things, like bubblegum, other sweets, pens, money, keys
A gun from her father ? in case of emergency. (more like in a bedroom drawer at home)

Perks/Traits:

What a pity: "People are more likely to help you, if you ask them to do something for you. At the same time, they sometimes don't take you serious enough.?
One hander: "You have a bonus when using things you only need one hand for. Two-handed? Forget it.?
Fast metabolism: "Your metabolic rate is twice normal. This means that you are much less resistant to radiation andpoison, but your body heals faster.?
History buff: "Learn the past to know about the future. You are more likely to correctly predict what is going to happen. Not foolproof, though.?
Paranoia: "You think people and things are out to get you. You often sense danger, when it is approaching. You also sense danger sometimes when there is nothing to worry about.?
Average: "Nobody really has a reason to mean you ill. But nobody has a reason to like you, either.?

SPECIAL(Optional):
Strength: 2 (4)
Perception: 10
Endurance: 4
Charisma: 5
Intelligence: 8
Agility: 2
Luck: 2

[HEADING=2][color]Attention Students of Springvale High School![/color][/HEADING]
A note from Principal Smithford [user]Generic NPC 22[/user]​

[hr]

Hello future students of Springvale High School, Home of the Fighting Hawk Wasps. We're rapidly approaching the opening of the RP. Thank you for you patience in waiting for this Role Play to start. Due to some real life work related things, I'm looking for the thread to be posted on August 31, 2015.

Before that, I'll be adding people to the WWHS User Group. During that time, you can get to know your fellow players and plan your starting points. I have a few ideas for each of the characters already so don't stress if you can't think up anything.

Thank you for all the hard work that you've put into your character sheets and thank you for your interest in this Role Play. I hope we can all have a fun and productive school year.

Sincerely,

Gen Gen the GM

Spoiler: Kristin Cream - Lunch Lady

Name: Kristin Cream
Age: 25
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Grade and/or Occupation (If School Staff): Nourishment Technician AKA Lunch Lady!

Physical Characteristics:

Eye Color: Hazel

Hair Color and Style: Golden blonde hair, shoulder length, semi-straight and styled into elegant curls. Often tied up into a messy bun while working.

Height: 6'1/185.5 cm

Weight: 54 kg/119 Pounds

Description: Sporting a pair of fashionable black reading glasses, a form-fitting white summer dress, complemented by a black sun hat and finally ending with cute black ankle boots. Kristin holds herself in a graceful manner, often unconsciously posing in a photogenic manner.

Tall, attractive, proud to a fault, and (if you can avert your gaze from her magnificent chest) endearingly eccentric. Kristin takes immense pride in her work and can be found donning an apron and a silly chef hat.

Personality:

Former lingerie model turned reality tv star turned junior chef! Kristin is a person of passion, ambition and haughty pride!

At the height of her modelling career, Kristin, with a love for culinary art and baking delicious treats, decided to use her popularity as a stepping stone in order to enter the public eye. At the time, the largest reality television show was hosted by none other than the BlamCo Corporation, leaders in cheese technology that held a monopoly over the dairy industry as a whole. Being sponsored by BlamCo was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so Kristin entered the "So You Think You Can Bake, Huh!?" competition. After a gruelling 7-day challenge that whittled down the competition from 50 contestants down to 2 finalists, Kristin's final dish dubbed "The BlamCo Bee Sting" scored a whopping 98.2 %. Unfortunately her competitor had scored 98.4 %. This would simply not do! Not in Kristin's eyes! Recognising her culinary efforts, BlamCo was kind enough to offer a consolation prize: an internship as a Junior BlamCo Chef! Bah!

Initially, Kristin requested time to think about the offer. A second place prize was far too insulting. Upon returning to her modelling agency after taking a month's worth of vacation to clear her head, she was devastated to discover that her modelling agency would no longer accept her anymore. Apparently, she had failed to pass her monthly requirement check: Due to her irregular diet during the competition, she weighed 54kg, instead of 53kg...a full kilogram over the requirements for the lingerie department. This could only mean one thing! Interference from the Agents of BlamCo!

To add more fuel to the corruption scheme, the following day her former competitor had "Accidentally tripped on a rolling pin and turned into a puddle of plasma goo in his workplace. Somehow." - according to BlamCo officials over the news. She was contacted by BlamCo shortly afterwards, following up on her final decision to join the workforce or not.

Her work was flawless and clearly BlamCo was corrupted by outside forces, or heaven forbid, they were corrupted themselves! Second place had not crushed her spirits as one would think, instead it had forged an impenetrable shield of willpower and drive to prove them wrong! Her motivation had changed when she was not recognised as the absolute best: She would join the ranks of BlamCo. Become BlamCo. ONLY TO CRUSH THE SOURCE OF THEIR CORRUPTION UNDER HER HEEL WHEN SHE ULTIMATELY REIGNED AS THEIR QUEEN! There was no possible way that her work could be considered "second place" material!

---​

Obvious corruption aside...

There is one thing bigger than her boobs: Her love for cooking, socialising with students and filling in for various volunteer roles throughout the schools. She preferred to keep busy. Inexplicably popular amongst the boys while receiving something of a disgruntled reaction from females, the well-known former-lingerie-model-turned-junior-chef has her sights set on the more nefarious activities going on at Springvale High. Still, there was no reason that she couldn't enjoy her time there...

Due to her distrust of anything associated with BlamCo. Kristin refused to live in a house. As they were built with bricks...with contained the letter "B", an obvious BlamCo ploy to ensnare the masses in concrete cells disguised as houses. Kristin instead ops to live in a somewhat spacious caravan outside of the school.

Equipment:
- Abundance of personal clothing and styling products.
- Apron & Chef Hat.
- Often found carrying her own trusted assortment of cutlery.
- "Mini-Microwave Version 0.87": for small instant snacks.
- A luxurious caravan: Perfect for a model-on-the-go!

Traits:

Paranoia Paradise - "You see signs, symbols and omens everywhere! Is it all in your head? Are you actually on to something? A paranoid individual gains a boost to Perception with a penalty to Intelligence! Values intensify as the delusions get stronger."

Sex Appeal - "You've got the 'right' stuff. Members of the opposite sex are attracted to you, but those of the same sex tend to become quite jealous. With a few exceptions."

Perks:

Princess - "Your beauty isn't just for show! As a Princess, you tend to inspire or make others feels privileged simply by associating with them. You gain a natural boost to Reputation/Notoriety depending on the crowd. (You can't please everyone)"

Eccentric Egg Logic - "You...say the strangest things sometimes. Oddly enough, there is a nugget of wisdom for others in your strange logic and weird observations. You, oddly, gain a boost to charisma when rambling about nonsense."

Bosomy Baker - "You make wonderful meals with rudimentary ingredients while looking good in the process. You gain a boost to Charisma, but a penalty to Perception since your focus is solely on preparing the food and nothing else."

SPECIAL(Optional):
Strength: 4
Perception: 7
Endurance: 6
Charisma: 8
Intelligence: 6
Agility: 7
Luck: 2

Here's the Kristin sheet, Gen-Gen! :3

Since I've got three characters, I'll be flip-flopping between them if it becomes too taxing to manage them all at once. So one or two can reasonably be put into "NPC-mode" for other characters to freely interact with in the meantime.

Currently, the priority for each would be:
- Kristin Cream: High
- Tessa: Medium
- Lucy: Low
