[Sanctuaryforall1]

Do y’all ever just go back and reread your forms to refresh yourselves on your characters and then you see a GLARING spelling error or something like that and you are like “oh god how long has that been there? How many people saw that? The world now knows I’m dumb!”

TIME TO ANSWER THE QUESTION ALSO LOL!

Randi - Halsey or Melanie Martinez

Fable - Celtic Woman

Thorn - Shaman’s Harvest

Vex - Starset

Bloom - Pink or Florence + The Machine

Shayla - Regina Spektor

Hey quick question! Does anyone here watch the anime Fairy Tail? I have emotions I need to release lol!

 

[spyder]

i don't watch either show :c my anime watching has extended to most of the sports ones, jojo's bizarre adventure, both of the avatar series, and i'm almost 1/4th of the way through the 1992 sailor moon. i've recently been turned onto food wars, but im super sucked into reality tv rn between drag race and hell's kitchen so it might be awhile before i finish either of those :c

[Sanctuaryforall1]

Howdy friend! I have many babes to pick from for friendships and honestly relationships of all sorts! I am gonna give you some blurbs about each of them but there is sooooo much more to them than these little summaries.

Randi - Party girl / Professional arsonist who will give you some of the best damn life advice you have ever heard because she is very honest. She is seriously quite the firecracker who is loyal enough that she just took a knife for Ghost in rp then escaped the hospital to drag Mav out of a bad situation. She is in a flirtation/friendship with Cas currently and has romantic feelings for Mav which is hella scary for her because of her commitment issues. She is one of Blair's BFFs and has a growing friendship with Ghost. She is also Divergent.

Fable - Transfer from Abnegation who has the heart of a warrior and is currently going through major trauma because she yesterday (in rp) she had to shoot and kill her BFF/crush (only she, Blair, and Ghost know). She is so determined to be the person she has always wanted to be that she is pushing herself harder and harder each day but she also has a really good heart. She is adopted sister of Griffon and she and Chris have a growing friendship.

Thorn - This is one of the biggest beans/cinnamon rolls in the world and he will shower you with kindness and respect like you have never experienced before. He was destined for Amity but stayed in Dauntless out of fear of what his Father and Uncle would do to his mother when he left. He is a pacifist and it takes A LOT for him to get involved in a fight of any kind. He has a crush on/super wholesome friendship with Charlie, is BFFs with Chet and Griffon, and a growing friendship with Aubrey.

Vex - DEMON CHILD! She is dangerous as hell and no one but Kirby (and now Ghost) knows this. She is an Erudite human weapon posing as an initiate to try to hunt down and kill/capture divergents. She has already killed 2 or 3 initiates in secret as well as Mav's brother Caspian and pinned the murder on Charlie. Meeting her on the street you would never know this. Her closest "friend" is Kirby and she has a growing interest in Ghost.

Bloom - The person to come to if you ever need a smile or to be taken care of. She is a recently appointed instructor who is also a bartender and basically a professional mom friend. She will believe in you even when you lack faith in yourself and encourage you to move past whatever is holding you back because she can see your inner strength. She is BFFs with Charlie and has a history with Chet ( I believe) as well as Ghost (though they haven't realized that yet).

Shayla - The ice queen. She cut literally everyone, friends and family included, out of her life a few years back when she found out she has an inoperable and terminal brain tumor. Aubrey HATES her because they used to be BFFs before Shay cut her out. Shay did this in order to save those she cares about pain down the line. She is roommates with Lainey and friends with Chris. She is very reserved and seems cold but is actually not as bitchy as she may appear deep down.

 

[WanderLust.]

a z u l a Yay!! I'll give you a little run down on my beans in case you want to plot anything!

Blair - Divergent, Dauntless Born, head over heels for her boyfriend Christian though she often winds up in chaotic situations with Ghost regarding her divergency. Her older brother, Ajax, is very abusive and has left countless scrapes and bruises on her though it seems the general consensus believes Christian to be the cause of Blair's bruises (which isn't true.) Even her own younger brother, Beck, whom she adores, believes that Christian is responsible for Blair's recent withdrawing from friends/family. She has a tight friendship with Randi, and is trying to smooth things out with Christian - she's always open for more friendships and she definitely needs them as she is really struggling with an identity crisis on top of all her other divergent problems.

Lainey - An Erudite princess who transferred to dauntless as a way to get back at her family. She's estranged from her sister and parents, (her sister slept with her boyfriend, her parents never thought she was good enough). She loves fashion and socializing and honestly still holds a lot of her erudite tendencies. Although - she loves competition and hates losing so she's done well in dauntless so far. She's kind hearted but has a lot of walls up, convinced that all her relationships are surface level as anything more would leave her open to the risk of getting hurt again. She fostering a crush on Chet (though she hasn't fully grasped the seriousness of her feelings yet, she believes it to just be harmless flirting) and is very close with fellow erudite transfer Cas and amicable with her roommate Shay.

Maverick - Dauntless born instructor, cocky, ideal dauntless, loves flirting, drinking, recklessness, total adrenaline junkie. He recently lost his older brother, Caspian, and both his parents perished in a house fire years ago so now he feels completely alone. He has a bit of a friendly rivalry going with Ghost (though at the moment its more rivalry than friendly). He is also now seriously considering his romantic feelings for Randi - though it's completely new terrain to him as he's used to no strings attached hook ups. Despite his 'play boy' front, he's really quite kind and genuinely wants to help wherever he can - however he's prone to a little hot headed explosion every now and then.

I definitely see Raven getting along well with Chet and Beck, especially since Beck's aptitude test was Candor and Raven is previously Candor. Raven could help bring Chet out of his shell, she's pretty nurturing and would appreciate his openness and his kindness would be reciprocated, I think it would be easy for her to trust him and open up to him.

Beck and Raven are somewhat similar, which could go really well or really badly. She's not as reckless as him, she used to be and it didn't end well for her, so I think that might bother her. I think they'd get along great besides that, they're both friendly and warm in every aspect.

I'm obsessed with Kirby and I feel like she and Raven could be friends, which would be interesting since Kirby's a spy and I think if that ever came out Raven would be distraught. She could potentially understand, since she went on the run from her own faction, but she's very emotional so I think she'd take it really hard.

Mostly, Raven needs friends and people to grow with. I am always down for romance plots, but Raven is pretty closed off on that front so it would be a very interesting dynamic to workout with anyone.




I will respond to the rest of you guys later! This is all I could get typed up for now

 

[Aviator]

a z u l a Ghost is a maniacal chaos monkey who lives life on his own terms, social norms be damned. He loves the mental stimulation of strategy games and philosophical debate, and whenever he encounters someone else's strongly held belief, he can't resist challenging it just for the sake of competition. Together, his insatiable appetite for risk and healthy defiant streak are driving him to oppose the faction system in secret, looking for ways to sow political unrest. He's formed an alliance with Blair in order to uncover the truth surrounding Divergents and wrest power from the hands of corrupt leaders. With Charlie he has a burgeoning romantic relationship, but Ghost's fixation on his ambitions and issues with showing vulnerability make it difficult for him to be emotionally close with her. At the moment, he views Maverick and Vex as his most formidable opponents, low-key dislikes Aubrey but is trying to greet her with an open mind for Charlie's sake, and is developing friendships with Bloom and Randi.

Thought I'd quote this since we were giving rundowns of our characters. This is basically that and still accurate though maybe not as much info as everyone else gave.

And I'm really sorry guys but I can't reply this weekend, at least not today. We came home last night and my 6 month old kitten/cat was half paralysed and died an hour or so later. So I'm really struggling with that and don't think I'm up to replying at all today.

 

[Sanctuaryforall1]

I am so sorry Nerdy! A loss like that is never easy and I am so so sorry that you are going through such loss.

So sorry to hear that pets are family and it’s so hard losing them. I know it’s a rough situation. If you need anyone to talk to I’m here

 

[Nerdy.]

Hey guys, just wanted to say I'm going to reply with hopefully most of my characters tomorrow. Still having a rough time and life just got a bit busy. But I need to reply I know ❤

 

[Aviator]

a z u l a As for a brief recap of where we are in the RP, we're in the middle of Phase 2, which focuses on fear simulations and initiates having to calm their vital signs in order to pass. However, today training has been canceled because there is a faction wide party being held for one of the leader's birthdays. Since there's no training today and therefore no scheduled group activities, feel free to run wild with plots! Today is all free time, and how you use it is very open ended. Pretty much anything goes, and I would strongly encourage you to form plots with other RPers to make the most of it.

Does anyone have an idle character who would like to interact with Raven?

 

[spyder]

Kirby is technically free, even though she's following Vex around!
I'm hoping to finish Anne soon, as well, but I'm undecided on having her come to the party if I finish her on time.
Will hopefully be posting soon!

 

[Aviator]

WanderLust. You're due to reply with Blair, please!

She is very reserved and seems cold but is actually not as bitchy as she may appear deep down.

I feel like Raven would appreciate Randi's honesty, but lowkey I think she might intimidate her a bit. Raven is a very hesitant person, so Randi's 'impulsiveness' would scare her.

Fable and Rae have shared trauma so that's a cute little trauma bond for them. I definitely see them getting along, maybe even helping each other through Phase 2 depending on how close they are? Thorn and Bloom would also get along super well with Rae I think!

I think Raven would be a little sus of Vex but probably has no real reason, so she might just keep her distance.

Shay is so interesting, I think Raven and her would either get a long well or not at all. Rae also has a bit of a martyr complex but for a much different reason.They're kind of like that spiderman meme lol, except Rae doesn't push people away, she'll be a good friend to them but won't let them return the favor.

a z u l a Yay!! I'll give you a little run down on my beans in case you want to plot anything!

Despite his 'play boy' front, he's really quite kind and genuinely wants to help wherever he can - however he's prone to a little hot headed explosion every now and then.

I think Blair and Rae could get along, but seeing as Raven's sister was abused I could see this being a super tricky situation. Raven would be extremely protective of her whether she wanted it or not.

I don't think Rae would necessarily be friends with Lainey or Maverick, so I could see some potential tension between them. At least on the surface level I think they would clash, but could compromise when it comes to friends and important things.

 

[Nerdy.]

Sorry guys, I am hopping on now to try start replying, but I have work soon and I've spent all day cleaning the house for an inspection so I'm really exhausted (mostly mentally). But I know I need to reply so I'm going to ask my husband if I can use the computer after I get home from work. If not then it'll take me a little longer and I might have to do it tomorrow

I really am sorry I don't like being so unready to reply, but I'm really just not in the mood for anything at the moment if y'all understand

I'll be replying with Aubrey and Chris first so WanderLust. I will get Chris' reply up asap so you can have an easier time responding with Blair.

Also, Charlie is technically free, in the VIP area of the party, and she will be free until Aviator Ghost is ready, I'm not sure when that will be, so she's very... stagnant right now if anyone wants to RP with her.

Sanctuaryforall1 and Wander. Was Randi the person who walks in on Maverick and Vex? I just want to know because if it is would it be okay for Cas to also go with Randi to the bathroom or would that be getting in the way of any plots? Sorry if I'm being a bother, I just want to make sure I make the right calls when I'm replying with my characters. TBH as cool as the party is to roleplay, I'm not quite sure what all my characters are doing right in this moment haha. ,3

I personally don't mind if Cas comes along. WanderLust. what about you?
