Just an idea I had... (Foxcroft Preparation Thread)

[Felina Noctis]

I guess students won't be allowed to run around in NY City anyway. I like the third school, beautiful name, beautiful pictures. And we can go for weekend trips to the mountains!

[Felicat]

@Foxx: Well, you're right. Seems we're starting to learn .


I vote for Foxcroft. Beautiful Maine, quiet Maine...full of horrors like talking cars or evil hotels. The perfect playground for my little satanist gal.

[Felina Noctis]

My parents had the great idea to call me Stefanie. At least it’s written with an “f” but still I do hate this name, because it is not a name, but a collective name for most of the girls of my age. I gave myself the nickname “Cat”, which has been adopted by most of my friends. My second name is Rosenberg. No, you made a wrong guess, we are catholic Christians! I am 15 years old, going on 16.
I’m not really what you might call pretty. My hair is quite long and kind of reddish or blonde… I like to call it red. My eyes are hazel, like the eyes of an animal. Sometimes I wear glasses, but I don’t really need them, only for very far distance. That’s the two things I like about me, eyes and hair. My skin is nearly white, you might take me for a Goth or a Ghost. And I’m really fat, well, my friends say I’m not, but I think I am! I mean, I’m not very tall, only 1,62 metres, but my weight is about 70 kilos even if I try to keep my diet very strictly. No boy would ever be interested in me, the way I look.
I have a sister who studies Chemistry at the College of Northfield Minnesota. I rarely see her. Since my parents have a lot of stuff to do, they send me to a boarding school. I kind of like it here, even if I do not have many friends at all. The school has a great library though!
What else is there to tell you about my person?
I’m pretty shy, especially concerning boys. And I can be a bitch, if someone bothers me. I’m very good at hurting others with my words. Guess it’s my zodiac, which is Scorpio. But basically I don’t believe in zodiacs.
I like reading, especially fantasy books, such as “His Dark Materials”, or Garth Nix. But also the classic, I do love Shakespear. My results are average, not the best, but good enough to hope for a good college afterwards.
I usually wear blue-jeans and big, woolly jumpers. My hair is mostly fixed as a ponytail, I’m too lazy for experimenting in the mornings, I never use make up for that matter. I would like to have a school uniform, because I don’t like the hype over all those brands and so on. But no one would consider my fashion ideas anyway.
Most of my time I spend at the library or in extracurricular classes such as extension English and Choir. I do hate sports, but I like swimming, dancing and cycling a lot. I also like going for a walk or hiking a little bit, in the beautiful countryside close to our school. Would I had friends to join me.
My wishes for this year are to open a P&P RpG Club based on DND or Shadowrun, loose some weight, sing the leading voice in the school band and find a boyfriend. None of this will happen, I guess.

____________________________________

Here we go, my character.. No Mary Sue and no Monster. I hope you all like her, I will maybe improve the profile during the game (like cutting the hair, or something). I didn't bother to use English messuring.

[Peace]

Hey, I´m Billy... yeah, like Billy Idol! My second name isn´t that cool, ok in a way it is, it´s Gibson, like the Guitars, and if you turn it a little its Billy Gibons like, Billy from ZZTop. Ok he has one more B, but who cares??
I don´t think that names stand in some relation to the person but in this case it´s like a perfect played solo, I love music, I play the guitar( the Bullseye- les paul of Zakk Wylde, that man is amazing, hopefully I´ll play on an gig together with him, someday) and I´m a pretty good singer, not as good as I want to be but I practise every day. I play many things( Pantera, BLS, Metallica, ZZTop, Billy Idol, Black Sabbath, Devil Driver, Eric Clapton, Tenacios D, Santana....My stuff) new-scool and Old-Scool, Rock and metal. I also try to learn from other styles, Jazz, Blues even Country. I Just want to become that famos that I get my Equip. for free, all around is just the cherry on the top. For sure I will drive fast cars( some of these monsters, called muscle cars), date hot women ( what isn´t a big change, yesterday I´ve got a real sweet one... one night stand, nothing for real) and party hard. ääähm... I´m 16, got long blonde hair, normal weight for my 1,70, My face is... Öhm... many girl say I look a bit like kirk hammet. I wear Jeans or Leatherpants, all kind of shirts which look good in my eyes, some of them have no more sleves because they look better this way, southstate-rocker-style like Pantera.
I go to a Boaeding scool, its boring, I´m not good at all, hope I pass this year. Today some Dork has taken my guitar without asking, there was a little fight(I won), The principal thougth I was the one that has started it, he send me home and wants so talk to my dad. What ever! The only thing I realy need is a band, some drums, bass, maybe an second guitar who can sing some backings. At the moment I work in a Coffee-bar, cause I dream of an second Amplifier, an Engl( an german brand) to get some kind of ultimate sound (I´ll mix the sound of my Marshall and the engl over two volumepedals). So now I have to go, asking my dad for the Car, it´s much cooler to pick up a girl by driving a car.


Thats my dude, I think he´ll Rock da house!

[Blue Lion]

(Do we have to write our bios that way or is a simple character sheet good enough?)

[Apoc]

Since I read Stephen King I always wanted to go to Maine, so why not do so in a rpg. I'm still not sure if there is any time left in my all-day-boring-life but since I want to use my englisch I should take this chance before it's gone. So if you're really doing this, I'm in... as the... most popular... handsome... rich... captain of the football team... Hahahaha, just kidding. I'm not sure yet what part I'll take.

[Felina Noctis]

@Peace: Wonderful! But could you please put a stress on the important informations such as name and look. It would be much easier to see, if someone had to look something up!

@Lion: Well of course, you could just say "Name: Lion, Age: 16" and so on, but don't you think the practise is far greater if you write a little essay? Your practise, your choice! Don't disappoint me, I believe in you!

@Apoc: You? Here? Wow? Never even dreamed of meeting you in a game again. But for sure, we are glad to let you in! Ideas for the character sound good... But don't walk the "Green Line", will you?

@All: Maine is fine with me. I thought maybe I could guide a little bit. Like red twist in a maze! My idea is to start of with the first day in term. Some are new at the boarding school (maybe Peace, thrown out at his old High for killing a boy using his guitarre... ) Some have been at this school since they can remember! (e.g. my character)
With guidance I mean give some circumstances such as "You got detention, for (whatever) and have to be in the detention room in the afternoon!" or "The director decided on a mountain trip, and you are not supposed to sneak out" or something like that. Situations that bring our characters together and give us some action. But if you want a "classical" Master, who plays NPCs and gives instructions to each single player, don't vote for me!

[Felina Noctis]

I vote for Foxcroft. Beautiful Maine, quiet Maine...full of horrors like talking cars or evil hotels. The perfect playground for my little satanist gal.

Thank's to Apoc a know now, what you were talking about...
But, please, we don't want this to be a horror, thriller (what ever) RpG. Do we (well you, but I for sure do not and Stephen King is kind of the only author I am really of!)

[Felicat]

Don't worry, Felina, no real ghosts, vampires or such, just the imagination of my character.

[Blue Lion]

@Felina

ack, no, turn it away! Arrgh! No! These puppy eyes, I can't stand them... they will get me... noooooooooO!
-_- okay, how could I disappoint you?
But it's really hard for me because usually my charas start breathing with their first appearance... also it's hard to describe self-caring characters in purple prose without sounding like mary sue >.<
---

Huh? What? Describing myself? Uhm, well, so, the name's Marilyn Marjory Joy, but usually I'm just called "Joy".
I'm not really a living being, at least I don't feel that way at that point of my life.
I'm 16 years old, but I feel far older. Although, for heaven's sake, I don't look that way. I'm a small person, around 5'3" (that's 1.60m), I have very long, white blond hair which I'm proud of and careful caring for. My eyes have that shade of green, algae plagued scotish' seas like most females in my family. Oh yeah, I'm of scot's heritage, although you don't hear it on me, just on the accent of my mother's born McGintiy. From her I have that very white skin which is not even near flawless -_- I care very much for my outward appearance, the bathing room is full of shampoos, waters, creams, masks and so on, but my skin seems to be hopeless. People say I have a sweet face and beautiful eyes, fact is, my eyeliner-line is PERFECT. I'm really good with make-up and I love to help other people with their's. I'm dreaming of a career as make-up artist or FX-specialist or both. But I have to mind, long time neither make-up nor hair helped me to get attractions because I had some pounds save for hard times, y'know?
Now, that the vacations are over, I've lost all that pounds, but I still don't feel any more graceful or something, I'm even more cautious because I tend to believe people don't care about me changing at all, and I've done a hell of a lot for that...
Yeah, I really have a problem with myself, and not just with *my*self. I'm not nearly self-confident, just self-caring. I care for myself to look great and be useful for society to give my life some sort of meaning, as I fear for the pressure of my school comerades.
Maybe that's why I turned out to be the freak I am.
Seriously, it is not like I'm not popular in some belongs, but I'm NOT popular. Not for myself.
Point taken, I have very strange interests - medicine, psychology, history, mythology, language... all that kind of stuff other people hate or what would bore them to death. That makes me kinda' nerdy but fact is, my grades are great, well, not everywhere, but everywhere I care for, and that's where nobody else cares.
I also have that kind of big momma- kharma. Everyone comes for me if they have problems, need help or just want to cry out to someone.
But that's nothing real, after they feel better, they "vanish into the night" and are gone. There is nobody really caring for me, I'm a loner and not a chosen one.
It's not like I couldn't get friends, it's just I'm not used to them and so they lose interest far quickly. It's also no problem to get a boyfriend, that means, if I would care for egyptian, libiyan or ecuadorian guys - let's be serious, my family would cut my head off and put in on a stake to fear everything away that's not pure white as snow, yeah, that's my family.
I'm an only-child so I would have nobody to hold my back.
So yeah, at the moment I'm preparing for the next tests as I want to get the best grades this year, I will need them to get stipendia for my college, 'cause my parents won't pay it. Not because we are poor but because I shall do it for myself. I'm dressing elegant as it should be in the class of my family, but mostly black. I also have a taste for silvery and at least optically I'm looking like a goth and the rest of the people who get on my nerves will back off soon... I hope so.
Have I missed something? Nope, don't think so, as I said- I have no life.
I live for school and future, I don't do anything more than learning, reading, listening to music and playing the emotional junkbox for anyone.
What's left to say? It's what everyone except the glamour-girls and football-club-presidents would say: Highschool is Hell!
And I'm happy when I'm finished with it.

[Felina Noctis]

Very nice! Really...

I'm sorry, it's much harder to look for the mistakes, than I exspected it to be. Wow... I'm just not quite sure and will study my grammar book very hard in the next few days / weeks. Thanks for showing me my lacks, which seem to be huge!

So we have three Chars done, three to go. Halfway through! I can't wait! I am sooo happy!

[Foxx]

While still waiting for my own character to evolve, I tought I might just do justice to my reputation as a smartass.
(At least I got that this was the sense of all this - if anyone should be annoyed by me, just... er... hit me! )

[...]it is not a name, but a collective name for most of the girls [of] my age.

[Felina Noctis]

Shakka! I'm not that bad!

"Would I had..." is an older expression, same as "I wish I had..." I DO like the classics!

Oh, I forgot to mention music: Hard and Heavy, Musicals and other stuff...

[Blue Lion]

@Foxx

I have to mind = I have to (re)think this/that = germ. "ich möchte anmerken".
So it would be more like "I have to mind, for a long time..."

[Peace]

Maybe the things techers say are not just something with the meaning of blablabla....
I think I´ll learn a better English in here than that one of my( why ever trusting in my ability to talk english[not to write english] ) teachers have teached me.

I like the äähmm it´s like dings... without it some happenings, things, and persond can´t be described the rigth way.
but give me the english äähm and I´ll try to use it.

[Foxx]

That would be "er".

[Felina Noctis]

Er.... Dear Mister "I know everything 'cause I'm so perfect", what about your character?
Same to Miss "I kill everything black as a sacrafice to my Lord S***, anything else as an enemy to my religion!"?!

Or who ever you are going to play...

[Felicat]

@Felina: Working on it. Will come this week.

[Felicat]

Well, my name's Samantha Mulder. No, I wasn't abducted by aliens nor were/are my parents fans of the X-Files. I was born and named before the series came out. I'm sixteen years old and I'm visiting a boarding school. Oh, and I'm a Satanist. No, I'm not sacrificing animals or humans, I just scare away annoying persons with bloody descreptions of Black Masses.

I've got no patience for idiots...or crazed Jesus-loving freaks.
Satan gave humanity wisdom and knowledge, he's the Geometer and he brought the light. God wants all of us to be as dumb as sheeps. I'm not going to become anyone's meal.

My favourite colours are green and red, not black. Please don't confuse me with those pathetic goths who write overly melodramatic poems about their oh so sad lives and the beauty of death.
I've got some friends, real friends. I know that because they didn't leave when I started to worship Satan. No, they aren't Satanists.

I'm about 1.60 metres tall and weighting 58 kilogramms. I've got black hair (not dyed), blue eyes and a much too pale complexion. I could blind the sun, my mother says. I'm normally slim, not too fat and not too thin.

Well I've got no clue which career I should persue but there's still time until I've to decide. My grades are average except for my favourite classes History and Art. There I normally get As and Bs.

I also have a adopted black rat called Dracula.

[Hinata Hyuuga]

Cool Idea

[Sac]

If Foxx will correct every mistake I do... but no, im not able to do... I would sitting with my dictionary all the time... too much time, too much time... Lio know... I am just reading... And looking the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

But your charakters... Can I see some facts of the real person? I think, I do.



Sac

[Felina Noctis]

I would prefer it, if Foxx could finally make a character to give us the possibility to start the game! Go ahead nerd!

[Foxx]

Go ahead nerd!

You wish! :P Here comes the jock!

(By the way... I did not really get along with that style... are we going to do it this way all the game?)


Hi, I'm Ben, which goes for Benjamin as you might have guessed. Last name's Walker. And, oh right, my parents gave me one of these popular but useless second forenames, that are all „Oh look, I'm so special“. So Benjamin Lewis Walker it is. But let's just stay with Ben, OK? (And don't you dare to call me „Benji“! )

What shall I tell you about myself? I'm 16 years old, about 5 ft 19“, my eyes are of a very dark green and my hair is short cut and of a light brown. I dye it, though, to make it appear blond, since I don't like the natural color of my hair. In general I'm very into my good looks: I do a lot of sports to keep me physically fit and for that I'm quite built. And yes, I have I smile that girls die for!
I, as well, take very well care for my clothing, as for me clothing tells a lot about yourself and I want mine to say "This guy's got style!". I never buy bargain articles, only branded ones, to me it's just pathetic seeing everyone walking around with the same jacket or pants, just because they were cheap on the local mall (and don't get me started on freaks). I mostly wear tight tee-shirts that fit my frame, sweaters and jeans, leather jackets, sneakers.... you get it, I'm the sporty type.

At school I'm doing well. No, really; in fact I'm doing better than most people expect me. It's like, when they see me, they are all „Look at this sonnyboy, considers himself to be the greatest, may be good at sports, but that's it, he won't even be able to add one to one“. The more I enjoy their amazement when they realize, that I'm not the dork they thought me to be. Especially at the science classes and maths I'm quite pleased with myself. And as for the humanities, well, I'm OK with those, not stunning but upper indermediate, I'd say. And as I'm hardly doing anything for school, I think I can be quite content with that, can't I?

So, what's left? Leisure activities. I already mentioned I'm good at sports. I use to go to the gym at least three times a week and moreover I'm playing baseball. I know they want me at the school's football team, however, I'm not very interested in that. It's baseball or football, you know, and I know which one gets me on!
Apart from that I prefer to spent my spare time with friends, getting around, drinking (only soda of course! ), having fun and so on.... y'know what I'm talking about.
Oh, and.... well I sing. Yeah, you heard that right, in fact I'm a rather good singer. I can play the guitar, too. Acoustic guitar, I'd like to add. I'm into country and melodious rockand there's not much I enjoy as much as a relaxed sitting, playing the guitar and singing. Plus: the girls go for it!

So, that's pretty much me. We'll see each other at school, right?

[Felina Noctis]

Oh my God, you make me sick! I hate you, for sure I do... Have you been sitting in front of the mirror writing this? Why can some people have the perfect looks and brains and I can't? Just get out 'a here, I can't stand you... You're killing me with your perfect appareance! I need chocolate now, you ruined my day! *pah*

What style do you mean? The "I am, I do..."? Would you prefer "She / He is, She / He does"? We should stick to the style you can't do!

[Peace]

Lol Benji, I´ll remember that one!

playing the guitar and singing. Plus: the girls go for it!

Thats why making music is the best thing on earth, you do what you love to do, If you are good in it you´ll get money for it and and the girls have a crush on musicans.

we could call the band Boss hoss And their Artistnames could be Big Ben and Billy Boy ..... or better not!
