__________________MEDICAL FACTSName: MSR-E-17506, formerly known as Kaden Waller Nickname(s): Katie, E-Purple, or 506 Age: 23; May 11 Gender: Female Sexuality: Didn't have much time to explore it Species: Human Ethnicity: Aedolian Height: 5’ 9” Residence: TRIM [Omega Wing]  "As far as I'm concerned, I prefer silent vice to ostentatious virtue."
Albert Einstein: Katie has medium brown hair that is almost always tied up in a simple knot (a bun) on her head, light skin, and her eyes are a very dark brown. Her face is oval-shaped, and it looks slightly gaunt, since she lost baby fat fairly quickly. She is fit, though with little visible muscle mass, and is not very curvy. She wears a standard TRIM experiment uniform. Personality: Katie was always a very quiet girl, but becoming an experiment made her even quieter. She follows her orders, but may improvise if she feels she must. She has very strong will power, and that is why she has kept her mind. Around people, she is polite to the extreme, never initiating a conversation, but answering as she would be expected to. Getting along with others is essential to her. She is both fair and well mannered. Katie is also intuitive and easily affected by other people; sometimes she is too delicate. She is stable, responsible, and loyal. She feels she is first, and foremost, property of TRIM. Magic/Abilities: Katie had weak telekinesis that has strengthened and warped due to experiments. She had the cellular resonance of her molecular structure changed, so that she is able to manipulate existing molecules around her with her own to a certain extent. This can be used for any number of things, theoretically even changing molecular structures, but she is unable to control it on her own. Most of the time, TRIM scientists have her try to create barriers. Everything she tries to manipulate ends up with a purple tint; this is how she got the nickname E-Purple. She has combat skills with long knives and has also shot pistols, though she is better with a sniper rifle. However, these skills have gotten rusty over the past five years in TRIM. Relationships: She loves her family to death, which is the only reason she went to TRIM without a fuss. She has a mother, father, and two younger siblings: a sister and brother. History: Katie was the first of her family to display psionic ability. However, her powers were very weak at the time, and after being pushed into the Candidate program, she continually performed far below average when in mandatory training. She was regarded as useless and shipped off to TRIM. She left home simply to keep her family living normally. She knew that if she did not cooperate it would have gotten her family involved. She was 18 at the time. Katie was not allowed to say goodbye before leaving, so her family was under the impression she was simply very busy with her work. Now, her family is unaware that the Aedolian government is watching them for further signs of psychic ability, though it is incentive enough to keep Katie under control. Other: She is actually incredibly shy, and I'd like to see someone be kind to her, if only slightly and awkwardly. She also needs a roomie. She almost lets anyone do anything. Especially if they are polite or calm about it, or even bother to ask. She most likely won't avoid anything. __________________VIDEO FEEDCurrent LocationsPast LocationsWho Does That Purposely?

__________________QUICK STATSName: Rambert Schuttmann Nicknames (positive and not): Raven, Macaw, Watcher, Rambo; Old Fart, “You with the Feathers” Age: 77; May 4 Gender: Male Sexuality: Asexual, but very much romantic for all genders Species: Human Ethnicity: Yoreiqi Height: 6’5” Occupation: Retired Pilot Noble Residence: Haviah, Aedolis [pic here] "The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called 'truth'."
Dan Rather __________________IN-DEPTH STUFFPhysical Description: Rambert has the usual dark skin of the Yoreiqi; a rich brown close to chocolate. His hair used to be black but has turned light grey with age and stress. The streaks of dark blue on the left side of his head have also lightened to a light pastel blue. His short mustache and goatee combination would be considered a salt-and-pepper color since it hasn’t bleached completely. He keeps his hair short and simple, usually combed forward, with a few short bangs and small side burns. His face is lined with age, his eyes are small and dark, his face is what people would call ‘square-shaped’, and he carries a serious expression if not a scowl. He is quite tall, but not lanky. His years of training gave him a good amount of muscle, even if he is not “bulky”. He sports a few scars across his body, like on his arm and back. He also sports two macaw-like wings on his back with feathers of green, blue, and yellow. They are fairly large; they reach from his neck to his thighs when folded, and have a span of 6 feet when unfurled. He typically wears his old uniform around the ATC, but otherwise has casual clothes. He likes to wear green sleeveless shirts, long black and dark blue sleeveless coats, white pants that flare but are tied at the end, and green boots. His common accessories are golden chain-like belts, a nice wristwatch, a small gold loop earring on his right ear, and black half-rimmed glasses. His shirts and coats all have places in the back for his wings to fit through. Personality: Gruff. That is a definite word to describe Rambert. He is serious, and doesn’t initiate conversation unless he has to get something done. Questions asked, especially if the person wants something, are likely to be answered with “no.” He values honesty to an extreme. Even people considered far below him in ability and rank can impress him and earn his respect by being honest with him and themselves. He doesn’t approve of self-deception, and will try to disillusion anyone who is trying to do so. He doesn’t do it out of spite—he’d consider that a weakness—but because he actually wants the people around him to improve. He lives for when those he mentors or teaches rise to become a strong person both inside and outside. Fairness is also something he takes seriously. He gives people exactly what they need; no more, and no less. Because of this, he does not practice chivalry, as he thinks it is an insult to treat anyone differently than he normally would. Even so, he knows when to pull back and when to push harder in order to get the desired results from students and strangers alike. Magic/Abilities: His main skill is cryokinesis, and though he’s not as strong in pyrokinesis, he can use it as well. Rambert does better with drawing the heat/energy out of particles than pushing heat outward and into something. However, during his time as a Pilot, he was forced to use both, and has enough control to use both with nearly equal skill, even if he favors cryokinesis. He also has strong telekinesis but fairly weak telepathy. Rambert can fly for short distances, but his muscle bulk and height weigh him down a bit. Using pyrokinesis, he can push heat into the wind beneath him to give himself a lift and take some strain off his wings. He is trained in hand-to-hand combat, and keeps his skills up so that he can help teach future Pilots. He has also kept up his skill with firearms, though he does best with small, sleek models with little to no backlash. He also has a skill he cultured himself: skill with a khopesh, a curved, sickle-like sword. He mainly prefers to disarm opponents he fights, and helps teach others to do the same. Relationships: Swale is the name of his large, dark green dragon. The two get along as well as Rambert gets along with anyone, and Swale doesn’t make much of an effort to become closer. Rambert keeps in contact with a number of colleges and previous students. He also meets candidates from his classes and while watching some of the basic training. History: He was in the middle class of an Aedolian city (not Haviah) and was discovered to be a psychic at age 16. He went through training, became a Pilot, and eventually started mentoring. He had no aspiration to achieve higher than the 'Noble' rank. Later, he became a minister and saw to some of the administrative needs of Aedolis for a time, before retiring. Though technically retired from missions, he still works with candidates as an instructor for Aedolian politics. He is sometimes asked to help out with hand-to-hand combat exercises for Candidates. Other: He's been around a while, so I'd like to see anything! Be a previous student or mentee of his, some colleagues who know him personally or by reputation, or claim to be an illegitimate son! He's open for all weirdness. Trained killing machine. Will not hesitate to retaliate if threatened. That said, he has good instincts, and will likely be able to tell if someone is not hostile. Allows only a little affection, but can't act against naivete from very young people. __________________THREAD TRACKERCurrent ThreadsLearn to LiveComplete Threads

__________________QUICK STATSName: Llyr Dalca Aliases: Mina Mosca, Aster Argall Age: 236; April 4 Gender: Indeterminate Sexuality: Attracted to Masculinity Species: Eleionomae, Morfa Coblyn, or marsh naiad Height: 6’ 9” Occupation: Mechanic Residence: The Sassy Juice  “I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better.”
Plutarch: Llyr is tall and thin; he is very delicate and fragile-looking, and doesn’t have much in the way of muscle. He is still very resilient, as his skin is resistant to piercing. His hair is very pale blonde, styled in dreadlocks and pulled into a thick ponytail. His irises and pupils are an almost colorless blue-white, so it looks like he is blind, even though he is not. He has black skin with slightly glowing yellow dots along his arms, legs, and face. The dots are always in a straight line, and decrease in size towards the end point. There is one line per limb and three lines on his face: one longer down the center of the forehead to the nose, with the other two over the eyebrows. His face lightens to a pale yellow at the bottom, as well as on his ears. The same pale yellow lightens just below his navel to his thighs. He has a body structure that would be considered feminine, though he isn’t overly curvy. He wears brown short-shorts, cork platform-sandals which tie on via aqua ribbons wrapping up his calves, a black tube top that covers his belly, and a light blue “coat” that only barely covers his chest then splits in the front and cascades down his back over his shorts. His typical accessories include a brown belt with pouches holding extra parts and other accessories for fixing stuff, a brown and tan scarf, and what looks like half a white/aqua headset on his right ear. He uses his ear piece both to listen to music and communicate with whoever has its frequency. Personality: Llyr consistently identifies as a male, though technically he cannot equate to a human gender. He is incapable of bearing children for any species other than his own, though he can impregnate other species. He has a deep, soft voice that is inconsistent with his feminine appearance. Though most of the time he is quiet and straight to the point, he enjoys dealing out healthy doses of sarcasm. He cannot stand people who are complacent to stay exactly where they are for the rest of their lives. He thinks that having goals to do more, even if they don’t gain money, are important because they let you experience more of life. He is fearless about taking charge and grabbing the spotlight when he wants to give an opinion. If he becomes annoyed, he will not hide it. He sometimes acts like the old man he claims to be when he gives advice, though in naiad years, he is actually young. He is roughly equivalent to a 30-year-old on a human lifespan. With his wealth of knowledge and experience, he values people with committed lifestyles. He would never come on to someone who was truly uninterested, and finds it distasteful when others do. Llyr has a secret place in his heart for old sci-fi/fantasy collectibles and literature. Magic/Abilities: Llyr has illumokinesis, though it’s very difficult for him to use it. When someone near him is feeling very strongly for another person, he can subconsciously pick up on it and create a life-like illusion of that person. Otherwise, he can only shift the brightness and intensity of the surrounding light sources. He can also cause a chemical reaction within his own body that causes him to release a specific smell. Among other eleionomae, this would be a signal of readiness to mate. Other species—like humans—may simply take note that Llyr smells more enticing than before, and may or may not subconsciously recognize the call to mate. He sometimes uses this as an unfair advantage while negotiating something, along with flaunting his own body. He cannot be impregnated by other species, but he can do so to another person. This is done through contact between mouths, therefore he won’t kiss frivolously. Llyr also has a talent for fixing and maintaining many different components of a ship. He specializes in the little details, as his hands are long and thin, and therefore perfect for handling smaller pieces. He has moderate programming skills as well, since many parts of a ship are run on particular algorithms and he must know how to fix bugs that might pop up while he is repairing. Relationships: He has met many people, and remembers few. Those he does remember, such as Ykan, he remembers for a very specific reason. Mostly, he tries to forget. Having such a long life leads him to cut ties with people fairly often because he knows they'll die far before him. History: He has been around for quite some time, and has slowly traveled to almost everywhere. He refuses to go to Aedolis though, since he does not want to be discovered by another psychic and forced into Pilot training. He figures that even though he is technically far over the age requirement, that they would consider him too valuable to leave alone. After spending quite some time on Edanith and then Cancer, with the occasional foray to other space stations, he found himself aboard the Sassy Juice, and is currently a mechanic there. Other: He's lived for a while, and traveled around, so if you want your character to have met him before, that's fine. I'd like for people to hit on him and see the results when he claims to be a man. (he's technically not either...) Not very cautious, so he won't see much of anything coming. He'll probably give incredibly rude reactions though. Feel free to torment him! He's pretty sturdy, and just takes things as they come. __________________THREAD TRACKERCurrent ThreadsGotcha!New Day, New MedicComplete Threads

Dust was forever ingrained in every conceivable part of Maite's mind. It stubbornly stuck to the bottom of her bare feet, clung to her clothing, and nested in her hair. It was a near constant on her travels, swirling over the landscape and dusting everything red. No matter the lighting, even if it was sunset as it was now, the landscape stubbornly stayed red, and refused to be any other color. Maite relished in its simplicity.
It was cooling off significantly with the approach of night, not that there hadn't been cool breezes earlier, so Maite was using this time to travel to the closest town to her. It would likely be small and worn with use, with little technology; just the way she liked it. Thanks to the cool air, any weariness she might have had over the past few days was washing away, and she no longer had to resort to panting to keep energy levels for cooling down. Regardless of how well it worked for her, she found it down right embarrassing. Average humans, as opposed to mixes like her, never used such methods.
Shaking her head, Maite brought her thoughts back to the present. She made sure to mentally mark any areas that looked promising so that she could journey back this way and search thoroughly. She planned to stay in the small town for at least a week before moving on; the area had potential for revealing some smaller plant life she hadn't yet seen. Her funds were dwindling quite a bit, and she estimated that simply buying hot meals would not be an option. She might even have to help with some menial labor about the town to pay for a room.
Maite closed her eyes as a gust picked up and tossed some more dust about. It didn't look to be anything too worrying, but Maite knew the dangers of the wilderness well enough. She didn't want to get caught out in the open if something big decided to blow through. She pulled the collar on her used-to-be-brown trench coat higher, blocking some of the debris from reaching the sides of her face.

__________________QUICK STATSName: Kotone Mori Stage Name: Sono Nickname: Coco, Tone, Nere, Momo, and other similar pet names. Age: 16; February 14 Gender: Female Sexuality: Bisexual Species: Human Ethnicity: Libran with a little Aedolian Height: 5' 1" Occupation: Upcoming Idol and member of That Band Voice: Like Haruna Ono from Scandal >>Ex: [X]Residence: Aedolis, upper levels Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. ~Plato __________________IN-DEPTH STUFFIt hasn't just been about me since then... Physical Description: Kotone is short and petite, but also rather curvy. She has pale skin and dark eyes with delicate features. Her medium brown hair is usually worn in two messy buns on either side of her head, and she has dyed a section of her left bangs pink. Her style of dress is incredibly feminine. She wears many different outfits, but she particularly enjoys lace, ribbons, belts, and showing off skin. She appreciates combinations of black and pink with small accessories of electric blue, green, or orange. She also accents her eyes with bright eye shadows and puts soft pink colors on her lips. ...I tried to hurt you just a little... Personality: Kotone tends to drawl rather than just talk, as though she is annoyed at having to speak in the first place. She lets her eyes wander away as though uninterested –even though she usually is, why else would she still be in the conversation?—and sighs just for effect. That tends to be mostly just an act though, and she drops most of it when just around closer friends or people she simply trusts. Though she may purposely move about slowly, she thinks quickly and has intense emotions on the inside. Kotone loves taking risks; She craves excitement and thrills and is driven by her passion. Impulsive and off the wall, she doesn’t take life too seriously. Unfortunately, she sometimes ends up regretting her snap decisions. Though she may have a wild streak, she also enjoys learning and experiencing life. She is naturally creative and artistic. She likes sweet stuff like ice cream, soda, and french toast. She doesn’t really value honesty. She does value getting her way, no matter what, and if a little lying is required to do that, no problem. A few white lies never hurt anyone, right? She also doesn’t hold much esteem to humility, at least while in the company of fans and the media. She believes that she doesn’t have much to be humble about and that she might as well promote herself, because no one else will. She thinks she is a pretty special person, and she lets everyone know it. As such, she tends to be easily attracted to fads and fashions; she is showy and wants to be noticed. Kotone is the type of person who assumes that the world revolves around her. She acts incredibly confident, blunt, and honest to a fault, but people find it to be part of her charm. She is outgoing and engaging, with both strangers and friends. She truly enjoys being with people and brings energy into any situation. However, she tends to dislike criticism and avoids any conflict. Secretly, Kotone also has to watch for her self-destructive streak; she can get depressed and moody. When alone, she will constantly bombard herself with criticism and has the exact opposite of confidence, unlike when surrounded by people. This is one of the reasons why she constantly strives to be in the company of others. ...Doing that with sweet words... Magic/Abilities: Singing and dancing are Kotone’s main talents, and she practices often. She tries out multiple styles to keep herself well rounded and has leaned a large amount of music theory. She has also practiced on several different instruments, such as flute and electric guitar, but her skills on each are basic. Being mostly Libran, she feels she should have some magical talent, but she has discovered nothing so far. Just in case, she tries once a week. ...Don't deceive me- Relationships: She keeps in touch with a few childhood friends, but most of these relationships are long distance. This is usually due to either the caste distances, or the restrictions put on Pilot candidates. She never speaks to her family, as they weren’t close, and she doesn’t even think of them as related. On the other hand, she is always visiting her current friends in the upper levels or inviting them to her place. She may not shower them with gifts, but her presence is better, isn’t it? -I can't believe you... History: Her mother was a fairly typical Aedolian citizen, even being of a little Libran persuasion herself, and slept around often. After Kotone was born, the still little girl had to deal with being alone quite often. She made friends with other kids from all over the middle levels of Haviah, and went out visiting to keep from being alone in her mother’s apartment. While growing up, some of her friends were discovered to have psionic abilities and started candidate training. Kotone was desperate to join with her friends, but never had the potential. Since she was never one for anything ordinary or boring, she decided not to take up a different job within the military, and to catapult herself to the upper levels in a different way. She became an idol. It took work and time on her part, as well as flattering the right people, but she started gaining popularity around 15 years of age. Soon after, she was asked to join 'That Band' as the singer, and accepted. She has been part of the band for around 4 months. ...Don't try and show off~ Other: She needs people from the idol/music scene to interact with! Body guards, fans, managers, fashion consultants, and other idols. She also needs some childhood friends, whether currently in Aedolis or not. She tends to keep people at arms length (idol fans can get crazy), but she is completely comfortable around her friends. Acquaintances will probably get shoved away, while friends can do pretty much whatever. Her reaction time is awful for combat. Surprisingly enough, she has rather high standards, especially for an Aedolian, so she might smack people who come on too strong. __________________THREAD TRACKERCurrent ThreadsBubblegum vs PoprocksFriendship Founded on BusinessComplete Threads

__________________QUICK STATSName: Qiu Dvorak ( tsu da-vor-ZHAK) Nickname: Casey Age: 19; June 23 Gender: Male Sexuality: (don't know yet) Species: Water Sprite, or Nix Ethnicity: Originally from Edanith Height: 5' 6" Occupation: Structural Engineer and Inventor Residence: Small room in the Cancer’s Red District [pic here]
"The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination."
Albert Einstein __________________IN-DEPTH STUFFPhysical Description: Casey is fairly short and wiry, though his arms have muscle from working with machines all day, and his fingers have calluses. He has pale skin with dark eyes and hair; His hair is short and messy and his eyes and other features are fairly small. He is very light on his feet, courtesy of his species, and his skin will luminesce slightly when he is exposed to water. He generally wears dark blue rumpled pants, a black no-sleeved undershirt, a yellow vest with white trim, black boots with a yellow trim, and a belt that holds various tools. He also has a pair of yellow tinted safety goggles —usually used while welding— and black straps tied around his hands to function as gloves or hold small parts. Personality: Casey is rational, and tends to analyze everything. This can get on people’s nerves, especially when he analyzes things that they think are completely unnecessary. Intelligence is important to him. Most things in his life are organized and planned well; But he borderlines on being a total perfectionist. He enjoys being around smart people. In fact, Casey is often a little short with people who don't impress him mentally. A lot of the time, he won't think before speaking - and often regrets it. He is very honest and direct, and others usually don't take his criticism well. On the other hand, Casey is generally a friendly and trusting person. He does have a healthy dose of cynicism; He will get along well with others as long as they play fair. He understands people quite well and can often tell what others are thinking by watching their sub-conscious body language. Because of this, he can sometimes manipulate people to do what he wants. Casey is naturally curious and even a bit of a snoop. He likes to have dirt on everyone - both enemies and friends. Only the greatest setbacks upset him, and he bounces back quickly. Overall, he is typically calm and relaxed, hoping to make others feel secure. Though he is flirtatiously playful, he never plays games. Casey just likes to be the one who keeps everyone laughing. Magic/Abilities: Casey has abilities similar to hydromancy; He can direct and summon water. His control of water is almost instinctual, and he sometimes does it without noticing. Being in clean running water improves his overall health and energy. However, as a fae, he has a slight aversion to iron. Direct contact with iron causes Casey to feel weak and nauseous; Continued exposure gives him a light fever. Lucky for him, pure iron is not generally used anymore, due to its lower strength and tendency to rust. Only pure iron gets a reaction out of him, so steel and other iron alloys are safe. Designing whole ships, or individual parts for the vessel, is his main source of income. Thus, he has knowledge on how ships of various models are put together. Casey is also proficient at discovering how machines work, and specializes in smaller digital gadgets that often integrate into larger units, such as his ships. He can use some of his tools as weapons if need be, especially if he has a pair of 1-2/3 wrenches. Casey also has a talent for music, though he doesn’t use it much. He will sing in the shower, or sometimes practices on his four-stringed Liuqin. Relationships: He knows other engineers, as well as people who hang around his area of the Cancer often. He visits his neighbor Arius and consequently her "Aunty", Keagan. He also has a few regular customers for ship repairs, such as Kit, though he tells them he is better at thinking and construction than repairs. Most everyone he knows he treats as acquaintances rather than friends. Few people would know him from his first lifetime, as they would have to be over 139 years old. He has a small trimmed shrub in the shape of a fish that sits in the main area of his room. He calls it Mr. Fish and frequently speaks to it or plays music for it. Kit regrets ever giving Casey that gift, but still comes by to trim it when necessary. History: As a Nix, he is capable of living incredibly long. However, he will live the average of one long human life before “hibernating” in a large fresh water body for another lifetime. Each lifetime is completely separate to him. He is currently only in his third lifetime, including a hibernation. He used to live on Edanith for about 8 years before deciding to go somewhere he declared “more exciting and lively.” He got off a ship onto the Cancer and hasn’t left since. Somewhere along the way, he discovered his love of machinery, and after enough tinkering on his own, finally got a job doing it. Other: My only character who is firmly stationed on the Cancer! I'd love some buddies for him, especially other engineers or mechanics. (yes, there is a difference) He's also fairly young, so some romantic experience wouldn't go amiss either. Average reaction time, so even though he won't dodge much in a fight, he'll certainly try! He's comfortable with friendly physical contact though, and flirting doesn't phase him much. __________________THREAD TRACKERCurrent ThreadsHelp me or else!Complete ThreadsJust Doing Some Business

Kit walked--not ran--briskly through the crowded streets. Every now and then he'd use his naturally deep voice to his advantage and quietly ask Kay for directions, but other than that, he kept his attention on the surrounding crowds. Of course, he knew where the space port was, having come from it not a few days ago, but having Kay lead them past some of the more popular spots as they slowly made their way that direction was a good cover.
As his eyes scanned the crowd, though not too hurriedly, he kept himself close to his companion. Kit did this both as a way to keep her calm and to give the illusion that they were just another couple.
After another small stop, they were walking into the area marked as the space port. They hadn't reached any security yet, only some information areas and a large mass of people who were either rushing or milling about. Blending into the crowd easily, and certain they would not be overheard by people who were intent on business, Kit turned to Kay. Though his thoughts were masked by his mental recitation of parts he wanted to replace on his ship soon, he knew Kay would understand his question of escape.

__________________QUICK STATSName: Masekios Prieto Nickname: Maite Age: 28, December 30 Gender: Female Sexuality: (possibly pansexual?) Species: Half Human, Half Humanoid Mutant Ethnicity: Edani on the human side, Aedolian on the other Height: 5' 10" Occupation: Artist and observer of natural science Residence: Edanith [pic here] "Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair."
Khalil Gibran __________________IN-DEPTH STUFFPhysical DescriptionMaite has dark hair that goes to about mid-back, bronze skin, and brown eyes. She has a slightly angular face accompanied by a strong jaw. Standing about 5' 10", she is also fit and agile, only partially due to her father’s gentics. She did not adopt very obvious exotic characteristics from her father. Her backbone protrudes slightly more than most Edani humans, as do her shoulder blades, and her skull is a bit more obvious underneath the skin of her face. Both her finger and toenails are extremely resilient. They are not, however, claws, they only grow tougher. Her jaw is also much stronger. Similarly, her teeth are more durable, and almost all of them are canines. They are not razor sharp. She also has a small pouch underneath her tongue. She wears a half-mask in the shape of a skull that covers from her eyebrows to the end of her nose, as well as two wide, fitted white bracelets and two anklets. Otherwise, her clothing is simplistic, and is usually hidden under a brown thigh-length coat. It consists of a black, fitted, half-sleeved shirt and black pants. She does not wear shoes because of her toenails, but opts for sandals when she has no choice. PersonalityMaite is rather serious and usually takes conversations literally. Most of the time, she appears to be only partially paying attention, as though the one she is interacting with isn't worth her time. When the person is someone she perceives to be better, she focuses intently on everything they say. Maite is constantly looking to do something, and doesn't enjoy standing around. If made angry, she will vent her emotions on the cause, usually in a physical fight. Despite this, she doesn't usually announce her presence, and instead skulks around with a mission in mind. She has a strong sense of loyalty that has only grown with age, and is content to take orders from those she deems worthy. Magic/AbilitiesShe has good endurance, and heightened senses of smell, hearing, and loyalty. Her nails and teeth are extremely durable. If she loses a tooth, no matter how many times, it will eventually grow back, and she is able to tear through leather with ease. She must file her nails down by tearing hard materials apart every so often. When the pouch under her tongue is rubbed, it will secrete a dangerous substance that she can mix with her spit. It can be deadly when ingested or exposed to an open wound, though it would take a large amount. Maite is immune to her own poison. She is also good in physical fights, partially because of her natural talents, and partially because of the training she has done to increase her body’s reflexes and flexibility. RelationshipsShe has a strained relationship with her mother, a pure Edani human. Maite ended up looking too similar to her father, who her mother met on a trip to Aedolis. Maite believes that her mother regrets the one-night stand that gave Maite life, and so tries to visit her as little as possible. Regardless, she cares for her mother, even if she doesn’t show it. Maite has never met her father, only heard vague descriptions. Her father is a humanoid with features more pronounced than the ones she inherited, though that's about all she knows. As of now, Maite is slightly curious, and will visit Aedolis to find him in the future. HistoryMaite was born in a smaller city on Edanith. Her only family was her mother, who often didn’t have time to spend with her. As a child, Maite would always be playing in either a nearby cave or the surrounding wilderness. She watched the wild animals and explored the terrain, often for hours at a time. As such, she didn't have many friends; most of the children would be playing elsewhere. She didn't mind though, and soon began to note the differences in the animals she watched. This slowly snowballed into full-fledged scientific observation. Her room would always be filled with journals of her notes, as well as samples of various animal-related items she had collected, from feathers to broken teeth. In school, she was fascinated by the life-sciences, and often tested her knowledge on unsuspecting wild animals and plants. The wildlife was not likely to get hurt, but those animals that did she caught and took care of while they healed. Maite left the city at age 14, feeling as though she couldn’t stand being around her mother any longer. She wandered much of the frontier, still noting all she could on the meager wildlife she observed. She didn't have a steady source of income, but she was able to buy just enough food and journals with the money she earned from selling whatever she could steal from bandits. She now finds herself selling off her observations as art or to various laboratories. OtherSince she travels almost all over Edanith, she should have met many people, both in megacities and small towns. She's used to people skirting her, for her frontier look in cities and general suspicion on the frontier. Surprise her with niceness, or pick a fight. I'd love for her to have travel companions though, even if only temporary. She'll fight back if attacked, since she's tough and has good instincts. Things without malicious intent she doesn't see coming, and probably won't know how to react to them anyway. __________________THREAD TRACKERCurrent ThreadsNot so Lonely TravelingComplete Threads

PLAYER WANTS What types of plots are you interested in playing? I really enjoy adventures, romances, rivalries, etc. I especially enjoy strong friendships. So, pretty much anything with good character development. Of course, I'm okay with fights, escapes, captures and such, but only if my characters have at least some history with the other characters or situation. I also applaud anyone who can make my serious characters feel awkward. It's harder than it looks. Otherwise, just bounce ideas off me. What types of plots are you not interested in playing? While I enjoy a good romance, brief flings are not super appealing to me. I enjoy longer relationships, even if they only stay platonic and business-like. I'm open to any suggestions, but I will be incredibly sad if our characters aren't going to ever see each other again. I'd like even one-night stands to leave some impact on our characters. How often can you reply to any given thread? I try to respond as quickly as possible, and my schedule is consistent for now, but most of my free time is at night before I go to sleep. Sometimes I will miss time due to relentless real life issues. If I ever have to leave for an extended period, I will let you know or leave a note in my signature. Are you open to RPing over instant messengers? If so, what's the best way to contact you and what times are you generally available? I am open to IMing, but be warned that I generally don't have a block of time to sit down and respond continuously. I'm up and down all day. If you want a quick back and forth, feel free to work out a time with me though. As I mentioned, I'm more available at night. (PM me for my Skype name) Are you open to post volleying? As stated above, PM me to set this up, as I have to set aside some time for this that I won't always have. But yes, I love doing this. Anything else? I actually enjoy creating characters for specific purposes and then letting them grow. If none of my current characters suit your needs, ask me to make a new one! I'll see what I can do. Also, I love getting PMs! Even if it is just to point out some sort of mistake I made, or if you recognize the design of my character's skin, that's okay. Bug me! PLAYER LIMITS What are you limits regarding powerplay/godmoding? Some of my characters won't allow others to touch them without determining what they are doing first. However, so long as you ask me before hand, I'm perfectly okay with my characters getting manhandled. If it's extensive, (like someone disarming them and then pinning them down and then tying them up and then...) as opposed to something quick like a hug, just ask me so we can work out the details. I love it when my characters are surprised, but not when I am. What are your limits in regards to romantic situations? I'm totally okay with whatever. If you want to pre-plot, great! If you just want to try hitting on one of my characters, go for it! I will warn you that they aren't going to just fall all over everyone they meet though. And since they may reject yours, feel free to dash my characters hopes and deny their crushes as well. If you want really odd combinations, sure! So long as it's feasible for my character's personality and tastes, I'm okay with it. What are your limits in regards to sex? Sorry guys, I don't do anything beyond ‘R’. It's not my favorite thing to write, as I'm really poor at it. I'm completely okay with it happening, but I'm probably not really going to write much when it happens. I mostly imply. What are your limits in regards to pregnancy within plots? Pregnancy with my characters involved is okay, but only after planning. Lots of planning. After all, I'd have to change around what my character is going to be doing for a while. So, while it may end up being random from my character's POV, I'd like to figure it out ahead of time. I do enjoy threading with other characters who are pregnant, too. What are your limits in regards to violent scenes? I'm okay playing out violence, but any permanent character damage needs to be discussed first. Also, I don't want torture to go on forever. I do enjoy fights, so if you want to pick on a character of mine, just let me know! What are your limits in regards to abuse/rape in plots? Eh. If my character can shrug it off afterwards then it's alright with me. Again, permanent harm to my characters - physical, mental, or emotional - should be discussed with me. Rape is not something I want to play out, but you can try to convince me anyways. I'll think about it at least. However, it makes me pretty uncomfortable, so I won't write out anything graphic. Are you okay with characters being transformed against their will? Yes, transformations are okay, whether my character is ready or caught off guard. But, as before, ask me first! It would make a significant change to my character. What about healing? Go right ahead. My character may try to resist, but you can push them to accept or try to persuade. If there is something I do not want cured, I will either PM you or make it incurable in the first place. Anything else? Essentially, I just won't write anything overwhelmingly graphic. Anything else is fine so long as you ask first! I may say no, but that would likely be if it would require my characters to be OOC. If you want to know specifics on a character of mine, what I'm looking for or how they'll react, visit their profiles.

Alright then, I'm Flakeblood! Flakey is a totally fine nickname. I was recruited by Sibby, who's post is probably below mine.
I'm still working on a few character ideas, getting them fleshed out and stuff, but if anyone needs a compliment (or opposite) to their characters, let me know! That's how I get my best inspirations.
I swear I'll have my wants and limits up soon as well. I am determined!
That's all I got right now. Laters!

Kit was wandering about an area full of shops and, consequently, shoppers. It was brightly colored and gaudy, both from the shop signs and the people moving about. He was currently trying to gauge the usual activities of the citizens of Aedolis and determine if it would be profitable to start picking up jobs from the area. Of course, most of these people looked pretty well-off, if not a little drunk or high on drugs here and there. Most people also seemed to appreciate material things, as he had been warned by other wanderers like himself. Still, all the better for business, if that were the case. Doubtless these people would be interested in things that they seldom saw.
But what might those things be? Better to ask a citizen themselves. They would be more likely to know exactly what it was they wanted to see more of. Officials who kept track of goods could only give him estimates based on what everyone bought.
Still, everyone appeared busy. Well, either that or they leered at him like a piece of meat. For not the first time, he cursed the law that didn't allow him to carry his pistol with him. How were visitors usually expected to protect themselves? Especially with psychics that were probably lurking about... He tugged his white scarf a bit higher up, covering his mouth. Regardless, he continued to look casually over the people he saw and tried to keep his thoughts contained. Maybe he'd get lucky and find someone who'd listen to him.

Okay, my friend and I are planning on sneaking her character out of Aedolis. We are trying to get Kay onto the ship that my character, Kit, owns. (see signature)This seems like a rather hopeless prospect without some help. So, we invite all citizens, guards, malcontents, visitors and anyone else who wants to help and/or hinder us to join! Mostly helpers, but what's escape without a little drama? If you have any ideas on how this might be accomplished, lay them out! We've gone over several ideas ourselves (mostly involving boxes and sneaky exits) and have actually come up with questions of our own. *How tight is security at the space port? Mostly for leaving with cargo or things you've bought. *In that line of thought, do they scan? And how far away can they detect an ID chip? Must they touch the skin? *Do they have psychics there, or just usual guards? (This may also be dependent on who wants to RP) Brainstorming wanted! EDIT: Thread here! Feel free to jump in.

__________________QUICK STATSName: Kit Fionn Roux ( fin roo) Age: 34; November 18 Gender: Male Sexuality: Bisexual Species: Human Ethnicity: Edani Height: 5' 8" Occupation: Trader; will also take odds jobs and requests Residence: Originally from Edanith; Pilots his small ship, the Jaeger Jaques, and stops by Cancer frequently [pic here] "The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand."
Vince Lombardi __________________IN-DEPTH STUFFPhysical Description: Kit has red hair swept to the right to cover his right eye, though his hair has started growing in white at the roots from stress. His hair is practically split between the two colors. He is fairly pale, like other Edanis, and has blue eyes. He does not have an excessive amount of muscle mass, but he has enough to be reasonably strong and fit. He generally wears black pants, a navy blue long-sleeved undershirt, a leather tunic of several shades of blue, red boots with a black stripe and buckles, and a black sleeveless overcoat with red trim that goes just beyond the waist. He also has a black belt over his coat that holds a pistol, black fingerless gloves, a white scarf, a grey field cap, and a pair of blue tinted goggles that he rests on the brim of his cap. Personality: Kit is a quiet person, and rarely speaks. When he does, it is usually brief and direct. He does not engage in small talk. Simple, shallow praises also tend to irk him, as he knows they are not genuine. Any comments he makes tend to come across as harsh and cold, even if they weren't meant to be. Since he doesn't spend much time speaking, he is very observant. He is logical and rational, and always thinks through available options in every situation. His emotions are contained behind impassiveness, and he hardly lets anything show on his face. Any judging or calculating he does is within his own mind. This does not mean that he is incapable of expressing emotions; he will often do so simply because he knows that the person he is conversing with expects certain reactions. He is awkward at expressing his true emotions vocally, and often uses actions instead. Kit is hard-working and determined. Once he has put his mind to something, he puts effort into doing it effectively. He is also trustworthy, and does not give out other people's secrets if he can help it. Kit believes that other people's business is just that, and is content not to mention it to anyone else, especially if it is not pertinent. Though he doesn't try to pry information out, he tends to pick up on small nuances that people let slip. Magic/Abilities: Though Kit's family consists of mages, his own abilities are negligible. He can create very small flames, similar to those from a lighter. He is also a good shot with his pistol and accurate with the small throwing knives he keeps on his person. He sometimes carries a sword on his back and is rather skilled with it. However, since bringing a sword to a gun fight is generally not a smart idea, he only uses it sparingly, usually in one-on-one duels. He prefers not to fight without a weapon, so when faced with a fight without one on hand, he usually redirects opponents attacks until he can find a way out of the situation. He has a small plant growing hobby, and is skilled at identifying and growing many kinds. He puts great meaning to flowers, and enjoys trimming bushes as well. He can also speak one of the old languages of Earth (otherwise known as Spanish). Relationships: He has a strained relationship with most of his family, and tries to avoid them if possible. His family is well off, and apparently has been for many generations. They claim to be of noble descent, though the only proof they have is old texts and their consistently red hair color. Kit finds their attitudes overbearing. The only one he truly gets along with is Acherno, his youngest brother of 19 years. When he visits, he teaches his little brother some of the skills he has learned, such as knife throwing. He is protective of Acherno due to their similar circumstances and his young brother's child-like psyche. He frequents an engineer, Casey, while on Cancer. Kit finds the engineer to be rather air-headed at times, though he trusts him with additions and repairs to his ship. He gave Casey a plant as a thank-you gift and has regretted it ever since. He has a pleasantly awkward relationship with Kay, whom he met on his first—and self declared last—trip to Aedolis. Despite he natural reservations of psychics cultured from growing up on Edanith, he doesn't seem to mind when Kay ends up answering his surface thoughts. Saves him the trouble of speaking, after all. History: Kit grew up on Edanith with his mother and father, both mages, four sisters, and two brothers. Two of his siblings, one sister and one brother, are older than he is and have started families of their own. Kit doesn't get along particularly well with most of his family, as they regard him with pity. Out of the entire family, only he and his youngest brother did not inherit their parents' skill in magic. Around the age of 20, Kit became tired of his life and left on a cargo ship bound for the space station Cancer. From there, he did odds jobs on the station and various ships before finally acquiring a ship of his own. He has continued doing almost any jobs that he comes across, from shipping and smuggling to ferrying passengers. He has even transferred dubious messages between people, though he tries to make it clear that he is not otherwise involved. Other: If your character needs some random task done, or if they need a temporary job, ask Kit! He'll generally take on help for his ship on a basis of need. He's also kind of a prude. I would love anyone to stick him in an awkward scenario. Also, anyone willing to play a member of his family, that would be excellent. He's cautious bordering on paranoid. He's not used to being in the spotlight, so if someone actually notices him, he'll be on guard and only make physical contact with them if necessary. He'll fight back and move back if other characters make a move for him. Once he's determined someone is not a threat, his guard drops, so he won't see friendly hugs and stuff coming. __________________THREAD TRACKERCurrent ThreadsAwkward Times in Outer SpaceKit keeps his promise to take Kay to another planet, but getting there is... well, awkward.
