In The Ravens Nest

[AmyGotScared]

Welcome Everyone!

So reservations last for forty eight hours! If you need any help with your characters, or if you have any questions at all feel free to ask them!

And remembers, I do have a character Skeleton if you would like to use it, just ask if you want! I also have a bank of face claims I use if you need help deciding upon that.

For my character, her power is Mindlinking, and so the description I have for that is " -Causing extreme pain to ones head, To access memories of that persons past,to read the thoughts of that person, or communicate with them through the link, to be able to walk through said persons dreams, and to be able to create a mind block in her mind, to block others from getting into her head."

Just make sure you have a general idea of what you can do, and branch off of that.

[Ever]

Hello ^^ May I please reserve Resident 3 with Cryokinesis, please?? ^^ Thank you~

[AmyGotScared]

Of course! Glad to have you join~

[Makenna Young]

Could I snatch up resident two, with human shape-shifting and mimicry?
It's a set of abilities I often use, and his eyes will be an unchangeable purple, his tell-tale sign.

[XShishioX]

Amy you tease! You always make such fantastic RP's!

Ahh, a rhyme. Unintentional but still awesome...

Would you allow me to take the last male role?

I'm thinking that I won't use a beast-like power, as my other characters in your games always were, and I would like to be different from Makenna's character. I know that it says not to double up on powers in the Rules, but I, personally, don't like seeing stuff that's too similar.

Instead, I was thinking of using something akin to the Fire Dragon Slayer Magic that exists in the Fairy Tail universe. In short, he would be a pyrokinetic of sorts, with a basis in physical combat.

Would that be ok? If not, I can think of something else.

[AmyGotScared]

@Makenna, that's brilliant! I'll put him down for you. ^^

@Shibang, Oh you flatter me so! And with me, flattery gets you everywhere so of course I will allow you to take the last role!
That power sounds fantastic! (I am on around episode 10 of fairy tail, so I actually understand it, haha.)

Can't wait to see all your guy's characters!

[XShishioX]

Ahh!! I didn't know you were into Fairy Tail!

Seriously Amy... stop getting more awesome the more I get to know you.

In all seriousness though, I wouldn't say such things if I didn't believe them to be absolutely 100% true.

I mean, come on. The list of evidence supporting my claim is nearly endless. You're awesome, you're funny, you come up with super fantastic ideas, you're a genuinely good person, you watch all the same shows I like, and...

And... and I think I love you.

...



Yeah... That's about right. Just like that.

[KOKIA]

Hello, Amy! :3

Would it be alright with you if I reserve The Parapsychologist I had to copy and paste that word. I can't spell it. D:, please?

[AmyGotScared]

Haha, yeah sure thing Kokia! :3

If you have any questions at all regarding the role, feel free to ask me~ ^^

EDIT: Oh! Also guys, once you figure out your FC let me know and I will add a gif of them up to the front page. ^^

[XShishioX]

If no one else plans on using him, I'd like to use Colton Haynes as my FC.

He has the necessary... fierceness and rugged sort of ambiance I'd like this character to possess.

All my other characters, despite their bravado, are just big softies at heart.

It'll be refreshing to play someone who sincerely doesn't give a flying f@#!.

[Makenna Young]

I usually don't like doing this, but I MIGHT need a slight extension.
I have softball practice for the majority of the night everyday this week, so I'll probably have to work on my charrie a little at a time... /).(\

[AmyGotScared]

Don't worry about it @Makenna, I totally understand!
If it helps you at all, feel free to send your charrie in as a WIP and work on it bit on bit. ^^

[AmyGotScared]

All right, I wanted to get Roman (my character) done by tonight, and I will keep trying, but I am not sure I will. But, I have accepted her in all her WIP glory, just in case any of you wanted a reference on how I am laying mine out and stuff. ^^ (@Shi I copied the way you worded yours, because it was a brilliant idea to have the whole "Subject was shown..." stuff. I hope you don't mind. D:)

She will be done by tomorrow and I am just about to get the personality finished.

Ps. Me being a dork, I added random/weird facts about myself to fill in the space. Laugh at me if you will~

[XShishioX]

No worries! I thought it was cool, so I'm glad you share my sentiments! Please, if I really cared THAT strongly about it, the worst I'd make you do in apology was send me some cute gifs or something...

Please, Amy. I'm not insulted in the slightest. We're buddies, right? Buddies share and stuff. :P

On a similar note, I too am almost finished! I need to find one or two more pictures and fill in some more details, but that should be finished up shortly! :D

So jazzed to start playing with y'all.

EDIT: Alrighty, so, I've got the personality, physical description, a picture, and a few other odds and ends left, but the history section is complete, as is the power section. I am simply too exhausted to finish tonight. Amy, I'm dreadfully sorry, but would you allow me to finish up tomorrow? I am, after all, mostly done.

[Makenna Young]

By the way, face claim for mine is Skandar Keynes. ;-)

[AmyGotScared]

@Shi, Yeah that's fine! Don't feel like you need to ask, you are working so hard on your character (you all are) and it makes me so glad. ^^

@Makenna, awesome! I'll put that down on the front page!

By the way, I myself am pretty much all done Roman, just gotta do her History really, but the majority of her is all there.

[XShishioX]

@Amy, I'm all done now. So, after re-reading the intro, I realized that Kayden's history was WAAAAAY more involved with the RIST than it had to be. I've had him there since he was three years old. Oops. XP I hope that's ok? If not, I can change it.

After making this character, I kinda realized why I don't play peeps like him anymore. Kayden's an @$$hole and I'm, generally, not.

That being said, I do like his character, and I am excited to begin play! I look forward to our character interactions! That is, if Kayden ever manages to be well-behaved enough to get out of Deep-Cold Solitary Confinement. (His permanent quarters in the basement.) Or get his muzzle removed.... No promises there. XP

This brings me to my next point! Getting Kayden out of the basement.

I thought that a good way to get Kayden out of the basement would be to have Kokia's character, the Parapsychologist, introduce some kind of, "deal," to Kayden. Kayden gets to take off his muzzle and live with the others like he used to, but, he has to behave himself and give willing participation in the tests. He has to, not only, refrain from maiming/killing the attendants, guardsmen, and other staff, but he has to give his all in the tests administered by the RIST officials. Obviously, Kayden would accept, but he would still have to be very closely monitored.

This would allow Kayden to be an active part in the RP, which brings me to another point! Kayden's thoughts on the others!

Kayden is, sort of, a Veteran at the RIST. Therefore, by the time the others arrived, or so I imagine, Kayden would have already been at the RIST for some time. The would have had a good amount of time to already form some kind of rapport between himself and the others. That being said, according to Kayden's history section, which is in literal shambles, he's been spending increasingly longer amounts of time in his chambers, the Deep-Cold Solitary Confinement. As such, he'd be generally a lot more apathetic with the others, and may not even like them as much as he used to before. That being said, what follows depends on Kayden's history being approved or in need of change. Obviously, I'll post again to re-define my points based on possible changes, if and when they happen.

For now, however, let's proceed as if my history section IS ok. Before I start, it should be noted that Kayden doesn't do friendly things very well. He would definitely respect the others, and be calm and mildly apathetic around them, but he would definitely NOT be trying his hardest to piss the others off or become instant best friends with them either. While he'd like to be friendly with the others again, he's not quite sure how, so to speak. Kayden's been treated pretty horribly during his time at the RIST. This isn't anyone's fault per say, but the RIST itself is just full of bad memories for him. Therefore, it'll take some time before he can fully trust people. That being said, I shall now create specific reactions to each character!

@Amy, I think Kayden and Roman would have a sort of unspoken agreement to be pleasant around each other. Kayden would definitely respect her fiery personality and her willingness to put up with the harsher tests in order to save the others from them. Kayden's not that noble, and he would really respect that about her. There's a strong possibility for romantic love here, but it would take a good bit of time and effort on Roman's part, if she even wanted to. Obviously, Kayden's open to love from anyone, but I really see him truly loving and admiring Roman as a person.

@Makenna, I think Kayden and Varius would get along rather well. Both of them aren't big talkers, but I think that they would tacitly come to some sort of agreement to be pleasant with each other. I don't think that Kayden would enjoy the flowery kind of way that Varius talks, but I don't think that it would make Kayden dislike him either. Rather, I think it would serve more as a way to initiate a friendly sort of rapport, opposites attract and all that. They'd be like... pretty much every paring of best friends in Shounen Manga ever: Naruto and Sasuke, Ichigo and Uryuu, Toriko and Sunny, Natsu and Grey, Zoro and Sanji... The list goes on and on. This relationship lends itself well to romance, if Varius is homo/bi/pan-sexual, but that, once again, depends on Varius. Kayden's not the type to be romantically attached all that easily.

@Kokia, I wrote some biz about Kayden, my character, being sort of friendly with the Parapsychologist in my CS, and I think that still stands, even though I haven't seen your CS yet. Obviously, if your character is a total psychopath, then Kayden won't like him, but I believe, from the intro, that the Parapsychologist is supposed to, at the very least, feel some sort of sympathy for the kids in the Raven Institute for Specialty Teens. Therefore, I don't think Kayden's hatred will be an issue here. If you read Kayden's Personality Section, you'll notice that he treats the Parapsychologist like a parental-figure, but their relationship isn't very close. Kayden respects him/her, but doesn't trust them. This gives us a little bit of rapport, but allows us to become closer or more distant over the course of the RP. A neutral starting point, if you will. Unfortunately, within love, there must be equality, and at the end of the day, the Parapsychologist is still higher on the ladder than Kayden is. Kayden won't be anyone's servant or anyone's second-choice. I don't see romance being established here. Sad day. D:

@Ever, I feel that a possibility exists, between Alice and Kayden, to form a hilarious, comical rapport. He's so stoic and relaxed, and he barely even talks, and Alice is, kind of, all over the place. I don't think that Kayden would hate Alice, but she would definitely be able to get him flustered, and out of his own pace quite easily with a well-placed question or two. I see some real hilarity growing here, and I think that it should be explored. As with the others, I can see Kayden becoming attached to Alice, and developing romantic attachment to her, but it would take some effort on her part. However, given her flirty and curious personality, I can definitely see that romantic attachment happening much quicker than in the other cases, as such violent... stirrings within Kayden's heart would get him out of his doldrums much quicker that the slower burn that would be established in the other cases.

That's all I've got for now! I can't wait to start playing! See you (hopefully) soon!

@Shi, the best thing about playing an a-hole is the fact that you can do so much more with them, you don’t really have much to hold back on. I find whenever I have writers block, I can still freely play angry characters and you can really do just about anything~
Anyways I will get to the character stuff as well! (With added gifs.)

So yeah, I was thinking the same thing @Shi. But I also thought of a cool little plot thing? So I decided that Roman came to RIST on March Seventh, so a month ago, and this was on her birthday. She probably heard about Kayden, but never met him as he had all the stuff going down. Roman is very interested and is always one to want to help others and despite probably hearing all the bad stuff about him shes interested and ultimately wants him to “let her in” so to speak even though they haven’t been able to meet. So this is where her power comes in, I thought it would be cool that once and awhile (probably accidentally) they had dream interactions, and she might even just talk to him through the link once in awhile, maybe read books, but I don’t know. This would be cool because when he finally gets all the stuff off of him and he’s allowed interactions they would already have known each other but never really “met” until that point. This is just an idea though so tell me what you think. ^^ But otherwise yeah I totally see her just respecting him and despite her always helping people, I feel like she wouldn’t care about all the stuff he’s done to the officials, as she doesn’t blame him at all. I could also see the romantic interest spark up, but like you said it would take awhile for that whole relationship to get to the point, not only because Roman probably wouldn’t be expecting to get a love interest in RIST and would be oblivious to such situations unless spelled out to her, but I am open to having the love interest there. Roman also has trust issues despite that fact she always wants to gain other people trust, but that being said Roman would most likely trust Kayden better than anyone else so that point doesn’t really matter.

@Ever, I feel like Roman would really adore your character, but also have a slight jealousy over her. Roman had an abusive father growing up, so was never really the “innocent” child. She had to mature up and take care of her alcoholic father after her mom died. I feel like Alice would remind Roman of what she probably would have been like if all that had not happened. But that being said, this would lead Roman to probably view her as a little sister almost and would try to protect her from more harm than anyone. She would want to preserve whatever innocents and inquisitiveness she has left as she views it as a treasure of some sort. She would probably laugh at how curious she was, and find it the only enjoyable thing. But in the end, it would be ultimately the whole motherly instinct type thing, and always try to keep her out of harm’s way.

@Makenna I feel Roman and Varius would get along just fine, no drama there. Just kind of a straight flat out friendship. I could see her however in the beginning, due to his quietness, be very curious about him, which would lead her to try and get him to let her in. She would often quote a lot of Shakespeare to him; due to his belief peoples words should be beautiful and meaningful.

@KOKIA, I am not too sure how she would react to your character as your CS is not filled, so I will let you know after ward. ^^

[XShishioX]

@Amy, you're the smartest person I know. I had been thinking about the dream walking and had been meaning to ask you about it. That seems like it would be a super good idea and I'm really interested in playing that out.

I had an idea for this really touching moment between the pair of them, that would have happened the first time Roman encountered Kayden's dreams. It would probably happen during one of Kayden's nightmares. He often dreams about his parents, and how they abandoned him at the RIST. I had this thought that at the end of his nightmare, after the other visions are gone, and it's just him, that's when she meets him. Kayden as Roman would still be dreaming, and when she enters the dream, it's nothing but darkness. Roman would hear the sound of a crying little boy. He's not sobbing loudly, or screaming, just crying quietly. She would, knowing Roman, probably approach the little boy and ask him what's wrong. The clichéd scene ensues and the little boy tells him that he wasn't crying, and all that jazz. Roman cheers the little boy up, and he asks if she wants to play, causing the scene to change to the layout of the RIST. Perhaps it's just a simple game of hide-and-seek, but the little boy asks her to catch him, and runs off into the RIST. Roman would go looking for the little boy, following the sound of his laughter to the Deep-Cold Solitary, where the real Kayden is. At that, Kayden would start to wake up, and this begins to sever their connection. At the end of the dream, right before they both wake up, the little boy tells her his name is Kayden, and that he hopes to see her again soon, so they can play some more.

My guess is, after that, Roman would do some digging and find out that Kayden is a real person, who still lives in the RIST. The next night, she might find him again, but instead of the little boy, this time it's the 18 year-old Kayden who's dream she entered the first time. They probably talk for a little bit, and before they both wake up again, Kayden asks if she'll bring a book for him next time. This results in the sort of, "regular," meetings between Kayden and Roman, which are responsible for their close relationship, even though they haven't seen each other in real life.

That was just how I imagined it happening in my head anyway. If you wanted to actually play out the night before the first, "day," of the game first, that would give the others a way to introduce themselves with a first post. Then, Kayden and Roman can have their last meeting before Kayden gets freed from Deep-Cold, I think it might be a great way to start the RP! :D

Otherwise, I agree 100% with your other statements. Their romantic relationship wouldn't happen right away, if at all, and I really just see them sharing a deep bond of friendship and respect. I too also see their relationship being very strong, regardless of where we decide to go with it, though I think platonic is the way to go here. I feel like they might just be beyond words, that they don't even need to speak with each other to get the point across. This would only be strengthened by their dream interactions.

Those are my thoughts on the matter anyway. Thanks for the earlier encouragement! As I said, it should be fun. It's very out of character for me, so I hope I do alright. :P

[Makenna Young]

In response to both Shishio and Amy, it sounds good to me. :-)

.....

Ugh, I'm so awkward, incapable of thinking of anything else to say. /).(\
