Throw Me One

Journal Entry: Mon Nov 9, 2009, 10:13 PM



As a side note, I think I found a skin I kind of like (and matches the skin well enough).

Anyway, I'm deciding to throw this out to my watchers and friends for kicks. Like with what I did with absolutexSKY, I'm asking for some character ideas for FORTS (still needs a name). Except this time, feel free to come up with all the bells and whistles for 'em and whatever. You're free to leave any section blank, but if more than 6 options are blank, I'd rather you not post it.

BASIC FORMAT +++
Name:
Codename:
Age:
Gender:
Ht:
Wt:
Appearance:
Animal:
Ability:
Weapons:
OTHER?

++++

NAME:
Self-explanatory; give 'em a name. I'd prefer actual names as opposed to titles and aliases and whatnot. These are supposed to be once-normal people.

++++

CODENAME:
Optional. One word. Must relate to the ability or animal; hopefully both if possible.

++++

AGE:
Self-explanatory; any age works, but you have to be able to explain the how and why if they're really young or really old. I'd like to keep young and mid-teens to a minimum, though.

++++

GENDER:
Well, I guess anything goes as long as it's related to the animal or power. I'd prefer straight up male/female, though.

++++

HEIGHT & WEIGHT:
Once again, self-explanatory. Let's try and make 'em realistic, please. Metric or US is fine; I can convert.

++++

APPEARANCE:
The looks: hair, eyes, skin, clothing, etc. Just a general description is fine. I'm probably going to be slapping extra stuff on them (or taking off; depends).

++++

ANIMAL:
Standard animals are preferred. Basically any animal that exists naturally on the Earth is acceptable. Hopefully, some geography will be taken into account when picking. No mythological creatures, no hybrids/chimaeras, and no microorganisms, please and thanks. Unless there's something totally awesome going on, then I might give it a thought. Otherwise, standard. Please.

++++

ABILITY:
Like a superpower. This ability should relate to the animal selected in some way. Please try and be original and creative. For example, rather than having an eagle or something and having the ability to sprout wings and fly, I'd prefer something strange, like a vulture and having the ability to tell when somebody died by the taste of their flesh or something. Go nuts, basically. As long as it isn't super overpowered or outrageous, I probably don't mind.

++++

WEAPONS:
Modern -> semi-futuristic setting. Hand guns are standard. I'm kind of leaving this one open as long as it doesn't get weird. Think realistically.

++++

EXTRA/OTHER
Anything else you'd like to add, like personality, etc. Just add in your own option.

++++

EXAMPLES+++
This relates to the FORTS characters I've been doodling up recently. Feel free to check their refs here:
[ Robin | Yu | Trina ]
Other Related Characters: Dorimar, Rook, Kearsta, Renee

ANIMALS USED+++
Porcupine, Fish(general), Horse, Swallow, Brahminy Kite, Slow Loris, Dog, Red Lacewing Butterfly
Possibly: Leopard, Quetzal, Gecko, Octopus

CODENAMES USED+++
Wire, Scarlet, Swim, Rook, Dream, Ash

++++

That's about it. Have fun.



...

Actually...
Anybody want to give a shot at renaming FORTS? FORTS doesn't actually mean anything. >>;

Another Number Meme 2

Mon Nov 2, 2009, 10:56 AM
Stolen from :iconlumoroske:

++++

Chose 10 of your OCs or your favorite people (friends, family, celebrities; anyone you think is cool – just not yourself) and put them in the number slots below.

[ 01 ]
Robin
[ 02 ] Yu
[ 03 ] Trina
[ 04 ] Fire
[ 05 ] Keet
[ 06 ] Sidney
[ 07 ] Rhihu
[ 08 ] Mitsu
[ 09 ] Amara
[ 10 ] Audra

1) 4(Fire) invites 3(Trina) and 8(Mitsu) to dinner at their house. What happens?
Mitsu probably ends up cooking some kind of fresh-caught meat with Fire’s…well, fire. Trina’s probably really interested and really uncomfortable around the heat at the same time. In the end, there are plenty of well-roasted hunks of meat and some odd, happy folks. :]

2) 9(Amara) tries to get 5(Keet) to go to a strip club.
Amara: Hey, Keet, let’s go over there. Maybe they have drinks.
Keet: ‘Kay!
Oh, gosh, lolz. I’m willing to bet that neither of them have any idea what a strip club is, and that they’ll both end up dashing out the door the moment they see what’s inside.
…but considering as they’re both underage and short, I don’t think they’d even be allowed in.

3) You need to stay at a friend’s house for the night. Do you choose 1(Robin) or 6(Sidney)?
._.; Those are both pretty bad choices. Sid doesn’t really have a house, and Robin dorms with another woman, if you know what I mean. >>; Uh… I think I’d be safer with Robin, though. If all else fails, I could probably find an empty bunk over there somewhere.

4) 2(Yu) and 7(Rhihu) are making out. 10(Audra) walks in. Their reaction?
Oh, goodness. XD This is probably the most crackatized one yet. Forget interracial; it’s interspecies now.
Yu & Rhihu: *smooooooch*
Audra: .___.; … >>; … *walks out immediately*

5) 3(Trina) falls in love with 6(Sidney). 8(Mitsu) is jealous. What happens?
XD I love this. It could totally almost work.
Trina: Hey, cutie, wanna hit the town fer some fuuuun~?
Sidney: M-me…? I… I s’ pose so…
Mitsu: ]< Nah without meh, tha’rn’t.
Sidney: ._.; Eep. Y-yessir.
Trina: >:< Hey now, you, butt out. Me’n’mah cutie’re gonna go ‘lone, see?
*glaring contest ensues*
*Sidney tries to hide*

6) 4(Fire) jumps you in a dark alleyway. Who comes to your rescue? 10(Audra), 2(Yu), or 7(Rhihu)?
I think I’m pretty safe as it is. >>; If Fire’s jumping somebody, she’s probably literally jumping on them out of friendliness. I’d probably need an Audra to carry her, though. I’m kinda small.

7) 1(Robin) decides to start a cooking show. 15 minutes later what is happening?
The set is completely devoid of life save for Robin. She probably forgot she was being recorded and decided to use her tendrils to ‘help out’ around the kitchen. >>; Beware; viewer trauma ahead.

8) 5(Keet) is in a car crash and is critically injured. What does 9(Amara) do?
Amara: DDDDDD8OMGKEETAREYOUOKAYHOLDONIHAVESOMES UPERPOTIONSHERESOMEWHEREITHINK-
DON’TWORRYI’LLTAKECAREOFYOUOMGISTHEREAPOKEMONCENTERA ROUNDHERE?!D8
Keet: X_____x

9) 3(Trina) has to marry either 8(Mitsu), 4(Fire) or 9(Amara). Who do they chose?
Probably Amara, seeing as she’s a Ranger and understands about nature and possibly about fish. And she kind of looks like a boy, too.

10) 7(Rhihu) kidnaps 2(Yu) and demands something from 5(Keet) for 2's release. What is it?
Rhihu: ]< Drop th’ kun, kiddo, or th’ pinkie girl gets it!
Keet: B-but…I-I dunno wot kuns is!!
Rhihu: ]< ‘At’s wot they all sez, matey.
Yu: … >>;; Please release Yu.
Rhihu: ]< Pipe down, dar—
-- WHOOSH --
*both Keet and Rhihu go flying*

11) You get to meet either 1(Robin) or 6(Sidney). Who do you chose?
Robin would be cool, though Sid might be more fun to hang out with since he’s good with cats. …though Robin’s good with cats, too. Urr… Sid. He’s halfway normal and probably won’t be as paranoid around other people.

12) 10(Audra) challenges 4(Fire) to a chariot race. Why?
She’s probably interested in seeing how her horses fare against infernequines. Iono. ._.;

13) Everyone gangs up on 3(Trina). Does 3 have a chance in hell?
Fire would toast her. Literally. So no, no chance, and no chance in hell, either. It’d just be too damn hot for her no matter what.

14) Everyone is invited to 2(Yu) and 10(Audra) wedding except for 8(Mitsu). How do they react?
Mitsu: D| Baaaaaaw, bu’ Ah wannae goooooooooooo…!! Ah thaught we were fren’s! D|

15) Why is 6(Sidney) afraid of 7(Rhihu)?
Because Rhihu was the King of Rogues! Every self-respectin’ thief fears an’ loves th’ great King! (Especially the lowly ones, like Sid.)

16) 10(Audra) gathers everyone around to tell them a fairy tale. How does it go?
Audra: … *grunt*

17) 1(Robin) arrives late for 2(Yu) and 10's(Audra) wedding. What happens? And why are they late?
Robin was probably having an emo “why did she leave me” moment, then plucked up and decided to crash the wedding after all and interrupt in the middle…and all that cheesy romantic jazz.
Sexton: …speak now, or forever hold your—
*CRASH*
Robin: D< —I OBJECT!!
Yu: o_o!!
Audra: T_T; *grunt*
It was a lot funnier in my head. >:

18) 5(Keet) and 9(Amara) get roaring drunk and end up at your house. What happens?
WHY were they even drunk in the first place? O_o?! They’re both terribly underage.
…oh, wait, that’d explain it.
Keet: 8D *hic* Amara, I foun’ shumptin’ *hic* good t’drink!
Amara: Uh… Keet, are you okay?
-- FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER; AT MY DOOR --
Both: *hic* 8DDDDDDD Hey, Anon, we hash shumptin’ gewd t’drinks~
Me: T_T; Aw, heeeeeeell no.

19) 3(Trina), 8(Mitsu), 6(Sidney) and 4(Fire) all go to the zoo for 8's(Mitsu) birthday party. How does it go? What presents do they get 8?
Trina: D< What IS this? Why do they have animals locked up like that?
Mitsu: DDDDD8 THAR TRAYIN’ TAE KETCH MEH!!! *runs*
Sidney: … *stares at sloths* …that looks kind of fun…
Fire: ._.;; ?

20) Everyone gets together and start protesting something outside of your house. What are they protesting? What do you do?
Me: ]< *erases their mouths* Shaddup. You’re noisy.

21) 9(Amara) murders 2(Yu)’s best friend. What does 2 do to get back at them?
Oh, goodness. XD Yu’d go totally nuts and tear Amara apart. Then again, I can’t really imagine Amara going homicidal. That’d be kind of scary.

22) 6(Sidney) and 1(Trina) are in mortal danger. Only one of them can survive. Does 6 save themselves or 1?
I think Sidney would try to help Trina out, but end up inadvertently saving himself only. He’s a little clueless, and he’s a lot better at getting out of things.

23) Which one of them is most likely to fail at life?
>: They’re all pretty failful. I think Trina wins this one, though. She’s not even human, first off, and because of that, her idea on culture totally clashes with everybody else’s, and everything just kind of falls apart from there.

24) 5(Keet) is trapped in a cave. 10(Audra) comes to rescue them. What happens?
LOL Perfect. Keet’d be scared to death, and Audra’d come stomping in like a big ol’ hero. 8D
Keet: ;_; *saved*

25) 3(Trina) starts a day camp. What happens?
More like boot camp. >>;
Trina: D< I SAID two hundred laps, yew fishguts! C’mon, move it!

26) 4(Fire), 6(Sidney), and 7(Rhihu) are doing the Hokey-Pokey. 8(Mitsu) walks in. What happens?
Mitsu: …eh? Ah, th’ wee Rai’u. What, noo prithee, would ye be doin’?
Rhihu: S’called th’ ‘okey Pokey! C’mon over, Mitsu; we’s jes’ gittin’ started!
Fire: …? Right hand?
Sidney: I think so. Then the left hand. Is this some kind of exercise?

27) 1(Robin) starts to write a fan-fiction where 9(Amara) and 10(Audra) are going out. What is 2(Yu)'s reaction?
Robin: *typing* Shyly, the girl reached out to clasp the larger woman’s hand, a gentle blush tinting her tanned cheeks. “Audra, I…”
Yu: o 3o Robin is writing?
Robin: D8 Uh-uh… Um…
Yu: *reading* … o_o … Is both…girls…?

28) 7(Rhihu) makes an apple pie. Is it any good?
If it’s any good, he probably stole it. >>; Sneaky fingers.

29) 8(Mitsu) and 3(Trina) go camping. For some reason they forget to bring any food. What do they do?
No problem! Mitsu’s a wilderness guy to begin with, and Trina can probably catch something in a stream or whatnot. As long as it isn’t fish.
Mitsu: Ah’ll be back soon, lass. Spotted ah deer back in yon’ glen.
Trina: Sure thin’, honey. I’ll go get us some crawdads right quick, then.

30) While they are camping, they run into The Blair Witch. What do they do? (If you haven't seen that movie pretend they ran into the Bogeyman or something like that instead.)
Mitsu: ]< Who’re ye, an’ wot ‘ave ye t’do wi’ us!
Trina: I don’t really care who you are, but nobody ruins mah suppa’.

31) The quiz is over. What does everyone do now?
All: *tackle me* D< WRITE WITH US MORE OFTEN, DAMMIT. D<
Me: DX Too…many… people…

Leafy's OC Meme. ONE MOAR TIEM.

Fri Oct 30, 2009, 4:26 PM
Actually, it's just Halo's again. It's an edit of this slightly older version to reflect some changes to her character as Anne: [link]

++++

~~~~INTRODUCTION~~~~
~What is your name?

I am formally addressed as Lady Anne-Marie of House Lierageren of Elden; however, since my marriage, I am now considered a lady of House L'Karr. On the field, I am addressed as Captain Lierageren.

A/N: Her full name is Halo Anne-Marie Lierageren-L'Karr. She only goes by Anne-Marie (usually just Anne), though.

~Your gender?
Female.

~Your age?
It is considered impolite to ask a woman her age. Regardless, I am twenty-four.

~Your species or race?
I am a human of the Aldien subculture.

~What is your hair/eye color?
My hair is black, and my eyes are amber.

~Your skin color?
I am fair skinned.

~Anything unusual about your appearance?
Pardon?

~Describe your personality in one or two sentences.
I consider myself a respectable, rational, and just individual with high moral standards.

~What do you do for a living?
I am a combat instructor at the paladin academy and a personal advisor and accountant to my husband.

~Tell us more about yourself. (If you want to.)
What would you like to know? If you have any more questions, I will try to answer them to the best of my ability.

~~~~PREFERENCES~~~~
~What is your favorite kind of clothing?

Modest dress, especially with high collars, long sleeves, and long skirts. While I do enjoy wearing dresses, they are highly impractical for riding and combat.

~Is there a particular accessory or article of clothing that you NEVER leave home without?
Such habits are childish and impractical; there is nothing I own that I cannot live without.

~Do you have the tendency to wear certain colors more than others? If so, what color(s) is that?
It is customary for paladins to wear the colors of one's patron deity; in my case, it is the blue and gold of the Sun God, Thanas.

~Is the above color your favorite color? If not, what is your favorite color?
Not in particular, but I have little preference when it comes to color.
-whispered-
...shades of grey, perhaps.

~Do you have hobbies? If so, name them.
Equestrianism, swordplay, and some light reading now and then are all I have time for nowadays. However, with the coming of the War, I am doubtful that there will be time at all for pastimes of any sort.

~Do you prefer cats, dogs, both or neither?
A feline would be a more logical house pet, although a dog may be more suited for companionship for an individual. Overall, I hold no preference; Hector is more than enough for me.

~Is there a particular eye or hair color that attracts you to others?
Nothing in particular. I make an effort not to judge others by their appearances. Furthermore, I am in no way interested in any form of courtship.
- whispered -
Although...hair...I...I think...long...dark hair...

~What is your favorite type of weather? (or season?)
Elden summers are mild and warm, with clear days perfect for riding. [small smile] Novices complain the most then, as they would much rather be out gamboling than training.
- whispered -
...n-no...that...isn't right...a grey...early spring...

~Do you prefer to be outside during the daytime or nighttime?
The day. Even with the ingenuity of magic and technology in this day and age, we still cannot operate without the blessing of the Sun. As Thanas entrusts the heavens to the Twin Goddesses, I, too, choose to retire at night in favor of a brighter morning.
- whispered -
...he...
- normal tones -
...have I...said anything strange?

~What is your favorite food?
I am partial to bitter foods, but hold no preference to any one dish in particular.

~What is your favorite thing to do with your extra time?
I believe this question has already been asked.

~~~~PERSONAL~~~~
~What are your strengths? (The things you are good at?)

I excel in combat and most areas of academic study, as well as in music, equestrianism, and business management.

~What are your weaknesses? (the things that get the best of you?)
I must admit to having a bit of a temper, as I have very little tolerance for injustice and lawlessness.
- whispered -
...m-men...

~Do you have a love interest? If so, name them.
My husband, Rayell, of course. While our marriage may have been one of convenience, we do, in fact, love one another.
- whispered -
...isn't true...don't...

~Tell us your biggest secret.
Pardon my frankness, but I believe that sort of personal information is none of your business.

~Give us a little of your background. (or a lot, if you want to.)
I was born and raised in Elden. As a child, I was privately educated in various curriculum by the best tutors my parents could afford. I entered the paladin academy at the age of eleven out of selfish impulse and informally graduated at the age of fifteen.
- whispered -
...you...forgot...
- normal tones -
...forgot? Ah, pardon, I did not mean to cause alarm. I simply...recalled something.

~What is the one thing you desire most?
- whispered -
...love...
- normal tones -
Pardon, but did you say something?

~Have you ever broken the law?
- whispered -
...always...never...
- normal tones -
[paling, strained] Mmgh... Forgive me, I...am not feeling well. ...but, Thanas forbid. I consider myself a perfectly law-abiding citizen.

~Are you renowned for anything in particular?
- whispered -
...so many...forgotten...we...
- normal tones -
...this is...very distressing. Would you mind if I took a moment to... [trailing off]
- whispered -
...people...

~Do you get enraged often?
[bold] I must apologize for my previous behavior. I...I don't know what came over me. To reiterate, I have always had a bit of a short fuse

~Do you have a rival?
No, I see no point in rivalry. It sparks unnecessary animosity.

~Do you have any artistic talent?
I may have at some point or another, but my skill with paint and brush have largely fallen to disuse over the years.

~What is your most-used quote?
Pardon?

~Tell us one or two of your bad habits.
I haven't any habits to speak of.

~Do you have any brothers or sisters?
None. I am an only child.

~Do you have any pets?
Save for my familiar, Hector, I've never once owned a pet.

~Who is your best friend?
[slightly uncertain] ...Tr...Trysta. Trysta Nightingale.

~Have you ever kissed anyone?
[small, wavering smile] My husband, o-of course.

~What is the meaning of life to you?
[uncertain; quietly] ...I'm...not sure...

~Do you behave differently in public than in private? If so, how?
[almost a whisper] ...no. I mean... No, never mind...

~~~~WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF~~~~
~Somebody was intentionally bothering you?
[straightforward] I would pay him no heed. Anyone so petty ought put the effort to better use.

~Somebody random told you they loved you?
That would depend on the situation and the speaker. Should it be a man, I would find the situation most undesirable. I am married woman and a faithful wife.

~Somebody random told you they hated you?
There are several approaches to this situation, although I believe the simplest way would be to ignore the person in question.

~Somebody angrily shoved you for no reason?
I hope this sort of situation would never come to pass. No gentleman should ever touch - much less than jostle or shove - a woman unecessarily, and I should hope no woman would be ruleless enough to shove another.

~Your love interest was murdered? (If you don't have any, pretend you do for the sake of this question.)
Sorry, but I have mixed feelings about this question and would prefer not to answer.

~Your most desired wish came true?
[a little confused; uncertain] I suppose I would be overjoyed, or at least relieved.

~Somebody stole something precious from you while you weren't paying attention?
I have little that is precious to me, and most material posessions can be replaced easily enough. I would be upset, however.

~Somebody locked you in a dark room?
... [tense] I would...try to find a way out.

~You were about to be arrested for something you didn't do?
If my testimony is not enough, then I will accept my arrest without argument. I believe our judiciary system will make short work of the mistake. If I am innocent, I will firmly stand beside my beliefs, even if the very Realms deny me.

~Somebody offered you a drink?
Politely refuse. I do not drink while on duty.

~Somebody asked you out on a date? (can be your love interest)
I would gladly accept his invitation. We spend little quality time together, and I have no reason at all to refuse.

~You were to meet your creator?
[flatly] I hope this is not some kind of joke.

~Some overwhelmingly powerful foreign army takes over the land where you live, making life hard to live in your country. Do you...
A: Lead or join a rebellion
B: Flee to another land
C: Live life the same way as you have been
D: Explain

I would much rather die in combat than face oppression.

~Your loved one is about to die! You have just enough time to prevent the death...but it could possibly mean sacrificing your life for theirs. (or you could live, but with great injury.)
~Do you go for it?

[quietly] ...yes.

++++

I'm rather tempted to change some of these questions, but I've already filled it out. Next time, perhaps. Anyway, as for the beats, that's just kind of for reference. I'm trying to work with the Anne/Halo multi-personality deal, so I figured I'd give it a test run here and see how well it worked. I kind of lost muse towards the end, so her voice kind of broke. /: More than figuratively.
