Before I explain why I'm asking this question, I like to be perfectly transparent about the fact that this is something that I do, so it's not coming from a bad faith perspective. I don't RP very much, but when I do I pick from one of maybe three-ish characters that I've been using since forever...
Anaphora Purnata
Favonius Cathedral
Anaphora softened her footsteps as she stepped into the Favonius Cathedral. Before looking for a seat, she shuffled off to the side and admired the inside for a bit. The stained glass windows were quite to her liking, particularly the way they shone in...
...State, it spreads pollen that relieves fatigue and applies Dendro.
Takes on different states when it comes into contact with certain Elements:
* When coming into contact with Pyro, the Dream Flower becomes Scorched, and quickly shrivels up into a burnt husk that lingers for a short while.

Cairn Orias
Academy Six ~ Third Floor Hallway
Cairn had unconsciously accepted that not many of them would actually leave the classroom. Moving in the same hallway as people who could shoot at any moment did take some guts. He didn't feel very gutsy himself, though; more that this was just the...
Cairn Orias
Academy Six ~ Storage Classroom
Cairn felt a bit of unease upon seeing Machina take form in the side of his vision. After all, he was sort of talking behind her back. But at the same time, he was well aware that his feelings were a bit out of place. Should he be feeling that way...
Cairn Orias
Academy Six ~ Washed Up Hallway
Possibilities continued to bounce around Cairn's head as the others made comments. He nodded at Matthew's response, the idea of him being the 'mastermind' behind everything never appearing until then. "Yeah, there's no way Matthew did all this."...
Cairn Orias
Academy Six ~ Washed Up Hallway
Cairn listened to Lexi and immediately pulled his hands to his chest. "Oh. Okay." He felt it wasn't the safest idea to be moving about after that kind of fall, but he didn't insist anything - nothing implied she was putting on a front.
While the...
Cairn Orias
Academy Six ~ Washed Up Hallway
Cairn was shocked by two things. The first was Rin's hand landing on his shoulder. He jolted, despite it barely counting as an impact, sighing as Rin conveyed her plan. He didn't like that plan. It was unfair. She was the study group's leader, not its...
Cairn Orias
Academy Six ~ Scuffed-Up Hallway
Cairn hadn't intended to open Pandora's box with his comment on the cleaning punishment. Regardless, the lid had blown open, and a torrent had begun to surge. He kept his head down and listened quietly as one by one, the other members began to chime...
Cairn Orias
Academy Six ~ Scuffed-Up Hallway
(do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?)
Before his newly-acquired 'volunteer service', Cairn had never lingered at the academy very long past school hours. But the liminal nature of the hallways became apparent with everyone...
Cairn Orias
Flanagan's Bar ~ Front of House
Cairn didn't blame Raymond at all for what he tried to do, but he squeezed his eyes shut at the mention of being 'brave'. It was giving him déjà vu from earlier that day, opening Matthew's file. Granted, no one had called him brave that time - only...
Cairn Orias
Flanagan's Bar ~ Front of House, Bar
Cairn expected some catharsis from the kick. He imagined it would suddenly make it easier to pull Samuel away. Instead, a shot of pain recoiled back through his leg, making it feel stiff and weak suddenly. His attempt at gaining leverage had...
Cairn Orias
Flanagan's Bar ~ Front of House, Bar
Kyle's nod of approval was a momentary reprieve to Cairn. Like a confirmation that he had taken a step, however small, in the right direction to getting out of this mess. But it disappeared quickly as Kyle let out a stilted laugh. His voice...
Cairn Orias
Flanagan's Bar ~ Front of House, Bar
Cairn blinked and scratched the back of his head upon the new girl's reaction. Her expression was almost comical in its innocence, the kind of thing you might see on a fictional character in some T.V show. He smiled halfway, the confusion on his...
Cairn Orias
Flanagan's Bar ~ Front of House, Bar
Cairn's reaction to hearing Basil speak in full sentences for the first time was delayed. His mind initially brushed it off as someone speaking in another conversation, but he did a double take, his head swerving back the second time to confirm...
Cairn Orias
Flanagan's Bar ~ Front of House
In the background between Basil and Samuel's faces was a bartender observing them. It started with a short overlap of their lines of sight; Cairn quickly turned his head to focus on nothing instead. But in the corner of his vision, he could see the...
Cairn Orias
Flanagan's Bar ~ Front of House
Cairn was glad, even relieved that he received responses from the other guys. Thinking back to lunch time, there were barely any verbal reactions to what he had done. To open an unknown file from one of the most notorious tricksters in the class was...
...had the bravery to ask or tell them why. Oh, but maybe, just maybe, he could mingle at the dance area and get someone else to buy a drink for hi--
*CRASH*
The sound of several glasses shattering pierced the consistent chatter in the tavern for a few moments before returning to normal. His...
