Out of Character

No plans tbh. If Eva and Pierce were still around it might be a different story but I'm at a blank. Maybe vee can drag Abigail into attending tho.

Alright that sounds good. I tried to incorporate half of them since I'm not sure what the plans are for others. @Kingly I did slightly move your characters ish a little and if you want me to change, add/remove anything, just let me know. I didn't want to control Hunter too much but I wanted to incorporate some of Xav's friends into the post so that we're already there.
 
@FirePolaris How's this one?

He looks awesome! Thank you. ;D
 
Just popping by to let you all know that my wifi at home stopped working last night, which is why I couldn't get back to anyone. Hopefully it'll be back up and running today but that won't stop me from sorting out relationships - then once they're done, I'll be able to think of an idea about how to get Zak to the auction.  :)


@FirePolaris You can use the first picture on my character sheet for Zak's relationships. (I would post it here, but I'm on my mobile.) Also, loving the summary of our character's relationship! ^_^  
 
Without further ado, I present Nathan's relationships (minus Zakary for now, but his is coming soon!):


Aivree & Nathan


"She thinks my hobby is cool. I am immediately suspicious of her." - Nathan

Aivree and Nathan didn't meet until Year 3, while working on a production together. Aivree had been contracted to design a backdrop for an upcoming performance which, for the first time, brought her and Nathan together in the theater. For a while, the two peacefully stayed out of each other's way, occasionally offering pleasantries. It wasn't until Aivree caught Nathan on one of his ghost hunting sprees (after hours in one of the school's oldest theaters) that the two finally started to talk. She teased him at first, then began asking questions. After a couple weeks of Aivree's pestering, Nathan finally handed her an EMF reader and told her to make herself useful. Since then, the two have been friends by hobby.



Hunter & Nathan


"I suppose it's only natural that assholes are friends with other assholes." - Nathan

These two never traveled in the same social circles. They were only brought together because their respective tracks were within the drama department. As a student of production design, Nathan regularly saw Hunter in small-scale productions to large-scale shows. As a diligent actor, Hunter took the time to learn the names of both the cast and the crew. While the two have no personal beef with each other, they're not particularly friendly either. Hunter finds Nathan's quirks odd while Nathan assumes the worst of Hunter for being close buddies with Xavier. At best, their relationship is uncomfortable.






 






Abigail & Nathan


"I'm Sherlock and she's Watson. Though if you ask her, she'd probably tell you differently." - Nathan

Since Year 1, these two have been on each other's radar, scoping out the competition. Initially, Nathan had developed a slight crush on Abby, but soon found a kindred soul in her instead. Realizing they were equally matched in academic prowess and intellect, the two soon struck up a friendly camaraderie. They mused about theories, debated techniques and discussed a variety of entertainment, but more often than not they just argued. Over the years, they'd bicker loudly in the dining halls and quietly in the libraries. They'd bicker on the way to and sometimes in class. But it was always good-natured bickering. Almost always. The two consider each other their closest friend at Arlington. 



Vivienne & Nathan


"I obey Vivienne the way a robot obeys its creator: involuntarily." - Nathan

Vivienne and Nathan first met in Year 1, while Vivienne was still in the acting track. She'd flirt with the other actors and Nathan would roll his eyes and carry on with stage prep. She'd stick with her kind and he'd stick with his, as was the way of the animal kingdom. Out of the blue, however, she approached him with a playful smile and some pretty words. Though Nathan didn't have feelings for her, this kind of attention from a girl so striking was completely alien territory for him. Almost immediately, he wanted to please her. On and off, she'd ask for a backstage favor (Could he please make sure her costume is dry cleaned prior to every show? Would he be a dear and grab her an Evian from the crew fridge - the actors' fridge wasn't cold enough). The favors were infrequent, but Nathan couldn't say no. After Vivienne transferred to the business track, the two abruptly lost contact, not that their relationship was close by any standard. Now that Vivienne is back in the drama department, only time will tell if they fall back into their old ways or strike up a new kind of alliance altogether.



Madeleine & Nathan


"Ladies and gentlemen, may I present the real Cinderella?" - Nathan

Over the years, Madeleine and Nathan's relationship is friendly but superficial. They haven't spent enough time with each other to have really gotten to know one another, but whenever their paths cross, Maddy will always offer Nathan a pleasant hello. While programming the lights or setting up the sound equipment for her concerts, Madeleine would, without fail, stop by to greet him and wish him a good show, knowing full well that he was part of the stage crew. For this reason, Nathan's always liked Maddy. When he found a moment, he'd chat with her and gossip a little. Their interactions have always been brief but there's no denying that their relationship has been anything but amicable.






 






Everyone (for some reason, my tags won't work), I know I didn't share the quotes with some of you in our PMs. I hope the overall description can be used for both our characters (but, of course, feel free to write your own description of our characters' relationship if you'd prefer!). The quotes are just to give a little insight into Nathan's head. I hope I didn't miss any important details! 


Anyway, that's all for now, folks! :D

Awesome! They look great. I'll go ahead and update the page. And omg. Lol poor Hunter. Only dislike because of his friendship to Xav. 
 
Well, Nathan has strong feelings where Xavier is concerned, as you well know. It'd be fun to see Hunter and Nathan surprise us with a strangely friendly relationship later on, but as of now it's hard to picture. :P

Haha this is the best time to see if everyone can settle the differences (or go to war). Oh just one thing, for the relationship between Abby and Nathan, there's a part that reads "the two soon struck up a friendly camaraderie (and Nathan's feelings." I'm not sure if you were planning to continue that or it was a mistake. ;D Let me know.
 
Huh. I don't remember writing the "and Nathan's feelings" part at all! Man, my memory is going already! Sorry about that. That shouldn't be there. I really have no idea what that was supposed to say... Hahaha!
 
@shygirl3 Hey! Would it be okay if we wrote Abby and Nathan into the same scene for our first posts? Nathan will have been setting up before the auction officially starts, but now that the party is starting, he's technically off duty. We can have our characters meet up outside the auditorium and go from there. How does that sound? 
 
@Kodiak


sure! I'm about to head to work so I'll try and make a post afterwards.  But feel free to include Abby however you'd like!
 
Sounds good! Thank you! :)  I'm about to go to lunch, but when I get back, I'll start putting together a post. Woo hoo!
 
Aaaah I'm back here baby I'm ready to go. I have to say I was crying in class when I read about Xav sneaking a stripper into school for Hunter's birthday. That literally defines their friendship.


Also thanks @Kodiak for posting up our relationship everything looks good.


I also have the relationship for me and @constellation here


Zakary L. Price @constellation- It all started with a fall. Hunter was whistling through the halls of Arlington before the sound of a human crashing cut through his tune. It wasn't long before a crowd began to form around whatever had just came crashing down and the sound of laughter began to ring throughout the halls. Hunter being the curious freshman that he was shoved his way through the crowd to the front of the line to see a boy sprawled out on the floor with his books askew. If it was current day Hunter, odds are he would have been among the crowd laughing before he continued on his way. Though freshman year Hunter had a kinder heart, and ignoring the laughter and eyes planted on him he helped the boy named Zakary up and into what was a close friendship, for a time.


As time went on what was a close friendship started to drift further apart as their personalities began to develop even more. Suddenly their traits became more and more different from each others with each passing day. Hunter who was always confident suddenly seemed to get a whole 'nother burst of it after what he had done to Jessica, and once word of that hit Zakary's ear he had begun to think that Hunter would become too much to handle and didn't want to hang around someone like that and so the drifting began. Hunter's increasing thirst for partying, sex, drinking and lack of care for success didn't serve to help it either. Suddenly to Zakary, Hunter seemed to be doing too much, Whilst to Hunter, Zakary seemed to be doing too little. The bad habits Hunter had kept their friendships from continuing and currently they are mere acquaintances. Could this be the year they return to their former friendship? Or turn into worst enemies.
 
LIKE I TRIED TO CODE A SIMPLE BORDER WITH ALL THE TUTORIALS AND IT JUST DOES NOT WORK.


Me and coding are not compatible, it took me so long to finally get good with BB Code and then everything changes. @Aster
 
[SIZE= 12px]Oh man. I hate it too. D: What kind of layout were you looking for? Did you click source before inserting the HTML?[/SIZE]


[SIZE= 12px]and yes. LOL Xav is willing to do anything for his bro. Even risk detention and suspension. Their trio was so nice since I feel like Pierce even out their craziness. [/SIZE]
 
Zakary @constellation


"He's not as bad as they make him out to be."


They say first impression matters, although that wasn't the clear case for Vivienne and Zakary. Having joined Arlington the same time (as everyone else), Vivienne was one of the few to notice the stair-jumping incident (jumping because from Vivienne's POV, he seemed to stumble his way down uprightly more than roll). Given the time then, the blonde had not been able to help the male up, but the image of him did stick with her as she left for orientation. Later on through that week, the title "clumsy" was bestowed on none other; and not knowing any other name to refer him by, it was not surprising to see her slip his nickname out when she bumped into him. The cringe on his face made it clear to her (though even without the facial nuance she should've assumed that no one liked being called a klutz) that she had said something wrong. Apologizing and leaving on a sour note; Vivienne had once more failed to get his name.


"Zakary L. Price." She had learned of that name when fate (named Pola) made it so that the two were in the same living accommodations. Having returned to Arlington a week early during break, the audacious blonde had snuck her cat in to keep her company for the week. Under the assumption that the dorms would be empty, the plan seemed fool-proof to her - that is, until she realized Zakary too had came back from break early. She coaxed him into an accomplice, begging asking him to keep things hush. To her surprise and great relief, the male obliged and to this day, had kept her secret. Heck, he even helped her clean up the cat hair before the others came back; which greatly changed her opinion of him.


Nathan @Kodiak (There's nothing I can do to better describe the relationship you put up for Vee & Nate so here's just Vee's POV of things)


"He's cute if you squint, and honestly the brightest one here out of us lot."


Although the two were in the same course in their first year, Vivienne did not notice the male until one particular production took place. Being an actor, Vivienne took her role (surprisingly) seriously. She's been passionate in all the roles she's received, big or small, and for one particular rehearsal, the lighting was adjusted differently but in an intentional way to not only spotlight but draw out the character's ambience. It captured the mood of the character perfectly, and that was something Vivienne greatly appreciated.


That was the first time someone back stage had ever caught her attention.


Curious, Vivienne sought out the genius behind the idea. It was to say that Vivienne's compliments towards the male could have easily came off as flirting - especially since she had straight up questioned (reconfirmed) if he was in charge of the lighting system and gushed on smoothly on how impressed she was. Talking to Nathan was easy and she enjoyed his company. That is not to say she did not take advantage of Nathan's inability to refuse her requests. He had ideas yet to explore, ideas which she hopes to incorporate in someday. Though that day was not in year 2 or 3 of Vivienne's time in Arlington. Having swapped tracks, the two inevitably grew apart, though not so much where friendships couldn't be rekindled.


Her personal opinion of him is rather high and she is probably one of the few (or many) who thinks Nathan has the potential to act; not because of his looks or skills (lack of thereof) but rather due to his ability to understand scene ambience.
