((Thank you, Bee. ^^
Haha, I tend to change my name a lot~ Ah, I believe PG already has a character with 'nature powers'. Perhaps Aella could have another aspect of them?
Oh, and Smiley, I just remembered that Ten is tracking Purifiers. So if Lloyd is going to be there maybe he could be undercover or simply mistaken for one of them?))

{Oh, alright! Thank you! Let me think on that and then I'll change my starter Edit: actually, do you know if anyone has anything to do with animal communication? Because I can have her do that instead. (I really just want her to have some sort of nature power, but of course, I can always find something new)}

I have errands to run, but I can try to come up with starters for Seven & Lio...The former was meant to take Dotty's place but I hadn't established him as well then so I guess he'll be her twin...))

(I only joined this morning, so take my answer with a grain of salt, but after skimming the rp, it seems as though there's really no plot manifesting just yet. You and I joined at a pretty convenient time, as we can just jump in since nothing is really going on. At this point, our characters are just becoming associated with each other, I believe.
All of what I'm saying is excluding Smiley and Rockabye; they're working hard on a sub-plot that may influence all of our characters later.))

(what if Wyrsten is attacking Lloyd and AKili and Oakley stumble upon them through Akili's hieghtened senses? Those powers are really complex! XD I wish I hadn't toned Akili's down XD) Akili shrugged, "not particularly, with how most of my powers and abilities are inside my body or hieghten certain physical traits and skills. I don't really bond with my ice power either, it's like an extension of my body, not so much a kind of communication." (man, now I really wish I didn't tone down Akili's abilities. Would anyone mind if I add in the ones I left out?) (hey there everyone! i'm back! this may be the only post i can place here for the moment, but i can still try to chat. sorry, it's really early for me [like 2 am] and i got home from work not long ago [actually, it was like, 11 but whatever i'm tired] and i'll probably fall asleep, haah. xD anyway, thank thank thank you so so much for joining! i'm glad people are actually taking an interest in this rp when it was just something i wanted to do for fun, bahaha. anyway, all can join. i'll try to put some more emphasis on the front page for characters and members and such. also, i'll be making more characters for others to rp with, so stay tuned for that x3 ) tigercry: (that sounds like a good idea i'm all up for it! also, i don't mind at all!) "Oh...I never realized." Oakley said, thinking about how it would be like if she could push all her powers inward and towards her core. It would definitely feel strange, especially since she was usually so open with her powers, unless she was around other people. She could heal, which was a pretty external power, and she could communicate and effect nature, also a pretty external power. She had no idea what it felt like to hold all powers inside your body until the last moment. "Do you ever get effected by heat or flames strangely?" She wondered if that was too strong of a question, or too weird. "Uh, I mean, is there any powers out there that kinda...counteract with yours negatively?"

(Good night and happy Fourth. Don't stay up too late; you need your sleep! It's a shame you had to work on a holiday... but, such is life.
I look forward to writing with you!
On a completely different tangent, I wanted to inform all of you fellows that I am willing to draw your roleplay characters for you if you're interested. They're all very intruiging, and I have found myself in the possession of a surplus of freetime, what with me being too young to have a job. I've finished drawing Evanna quite a few times already, and I'd love if you'd allow me to experiment with your supernaturals.
Just thought I'd put that out there!
(The drawings would be traditional))

(Ohhh, thank you very much! I'll need to brush up on the descriptions of your characters, since I'll admit I never truly caught on to them, but I'll sit down tonight and work on some sketches. Do you have any specific details regarding their appearances that you haven't yet included in your story but would prefer in the illustrations?
Art is my forte. Writing is fun and all, but art is what I adore.
On a different topic: may I be so bold as to inquire as to what time zone you reside in? I myself am in the Pacific.
On a different different topic: this roleplay would benefit from having a second thread, both for the purpose of planning and keeping this kind of spam chat from crowding the actual roleplay.

On the topic of drawing, that actually sounds pretty cool. Of course, I haven't actually done any RPing so I haven't described my character at all... I've drawn my own OCs a few times too. (Well, ok, maybe more than a few)}

((I should be thanking you. ^^ I love art for original characters and I appreciate your taking the time to create some for us~
Let's see- Wysten is 6'0 and broadshouldered. I'd say he has a fighter's build, muscular without being bulky. His features are more English than his brother's, with almond-shaped odd eyes and a strong jaw that he forgets to shave on occasion. His right eye is golden when using his powers and a more muted hue that can be mistaken for hazel when his usage is more passive. Ten's left eye is steely gray and never seems to have as much emotion to display as his right. His hair is a burnished bronze, cut shorter on the sides while remaining longer in the front in a less prominent form of an undercut. A deep crescent-shaped scar runs from the corner of his right eye to curve along his jaw. Another crosses the bridge of his patrician nose, longer on the left than the right. He's tanned from spending a lot of time in the sun, and has quite a few other scars mainly centered on his arms and the backs of his hands. He has some tattoos, but they're usually covered so I don't think they matter in this case? As previously mentioned, he's a nerd who loves sweater vests and often wears them over collared shirts. He pairs them with bomber or biker jackets that tend to give an entirely different impression. He generally wears jeans, his combat boots, and ever present black leather gloves. Wysten also wears military dog tags around his neck and/or wrapped around his waist or arm. Aaand his favorite colors are Red & Gold Gryffindor colors so he wears them often. He does clean up and wear suits or more sophisticated clothing, but reverts to the above when on a mission.
And for Sylvius:
Wysten's opposite in more ways than one. Three, even. He's nearing 5'6 with a much more svelte build, almost lanky, although his fair share of combat has earned him muscles normally attributed to a runner. Sylvius looks a bit more Turkish, with paler skin and more scars than even Wysten. None that are readily apparent, however. Sylvi freckles easily despite the pallor of his complexion, with them being most prominent on the lower half of his face and high cheekbones. He has prominent eyebrows, an angular face, and cat-like eyes a shade of green so dark they regularly appear black. His hair is actually black, usually an ink colored mess because he doesn't bother with it much. I'd say it's around medium length? It remains clear of his eyes and doesn't go past his ears, although it's notably fluffy in the front. The darkness of his hair is broken by silver streaks along his temples a la Doctor Strange. He usually tries to conceal them with knit caps or a hood. As long as he keeps his dark-colored trench coats closed, Sylvius can pass for being a lot more mature. Ordinarily seen with a bronze and blue scarf covering the lower half of his face and gloved hands shoved into his pockets. When that's not the case, it's revealed that he wears brightly colored converse patterned with food- usually candy or cake- his jeans have way too many tears in them, and he wears graphic tees featuring sarcastic quotes or fictional characters under his coats. Sylvius is also never without his 'Bag of Tricks' a black leather satchel held together with safety pins and stained with the blood of multiple people.
Er, hope this helps. ^^' I never really came up with a bio/form for them so I just listed things as they came to me. Just let me know if you need more!
That's amazing. ^^ You can write and draw~ Two different forms of art!
I don't mind at all. I think I'm Central time? Ahaha, I confess that I'm not very certain but it's 5 in the morning as I write this so perhaps that helps?
Do you mean a 'general' thread where we can communicate without interrupting the roleplay? I'm actually still kind of new here, but I think I see what you mean.))

(Gah! Thank you so much for those! I wish I could write something longer, but I'm at a loss for words. Those bios are just what I needed to get started on your characters... although, I am afraid I'm going to have to hold off until tomorrow. It's four am and I should be asleep, unfortunately. Although I suppose this is for the best, as my art skills weren't up to par with my usual standards today anyway.
Thanks again for the bios. I can't promise I'll produce anything near your mental picture, but I'll try not to disappoint.
I wouldn't say I can actually write, darling, but I guess you are correct in saying I practice two forms of art. ^^' Though your writing is the true art here... and your characters. I have fallen head-over-heels for them already, and they're not even my own creations.
How old are Ten and Sylvious?
It does help! Thank you. I figured it'd be of use for me to know what time it is on your side of the screen. You're an hour ahead of me, by the way.
Yes, I suppose. I really just think that chatting and plotting should not take place here, on the original roleplay thread. It crowds and overwhelms and gets in the way of those who are trying to write.
Good luck with your art, Web, and goodnight to both of you! I enjoyed chatting greatly with you guys today, and I hope to do the same tomorrow. My apologies for being a blundering chatterbox all day.
Goodnight, since I'm getting less coherent and I keep going off on tangents as I get more exhausted. Also, kids, remember to never write all conversations on a mobile device with no autocorrect. It does not end well.

((Sounds cool Webdew. ^^ Is it an original character? Can I see when you're finished? I never really tried new styles of drawing and I love to see how others differ~ Do you plan on drawing your character too, Aurora? Aah thank you again! ^^' I thought I wasn't coherent because I've been awake all night. And I can assure you that you cannot disappoint me. You could draw a lopsided circle with two misshapen ovals for eyes and a crooked line for a mouth and I'd be so grateful. But you can! Descriptive writing, the kind that can evoke emotions even if by likening one thing to another or using such phrases as 'the skyscrapers leaned in to hear what she said' is honestly something I've been struggling with. That's why I try to begin every roleplay post with something of the like- I focus too much on characters otherwise. I admire writers who can set a scene~ Ahaha, I do have a record for crushworthy characters, however.. Ten is 20 and Sylvi is 17. They're about to be 21 and 18 though, they share a birthday 'cause I'm cute like that. I have not slept and I spend way too much time thinking about fictional characters.Ah, I see~ We can ask PG if she'd like to make one when she returns. ^^ Good night morning! And you really weren't, Bee. ^^ We all had fun chatting, yeah? I learned my lesson when I tried to write an entire chapter on a mobile device with no autocorrect. Gah. I'm going to sleep now. I mean it this time...Also it might take me a while to get back to you guys today because I have some homework to make up for. And I'd like to see what I can do about introducing the Quintons- Cousins to the Kingsleighs and also a pair of brothers because my muse will not allow any different. ^^' Also I'm probably going to sleep 'till noon. Tsk, I really need to start sleeping at night...))

{Alright! Hello, it is 10am here and I just woke up!
Aella is currently 17 years old. She has a slender body and stands just over five feet tall. She doesn't really exercise, but there is some muscle there, mostly from how she runs around a lot. Her features are rather fair and soft, actually. Her skin is oddly pale for how often she's outside (can this be contributed to her past???? Who knows....) Her hair is black and straight and reaches to about her waist. She usually just lets it hang freely like that. Her eyes are dark brown. (Not much else to say there) She usually wears pretty, flow-y dresses that can occasionally get dirty since she likes messing around in trees and dirt. They're typically really simple colors like blue and pink and white, and occasionally they're sparkly. She just really likes flow-y dresses (Honestly, I kind of imagine her looking like some sort of forest sprite with the dress and the fair features lol. I should draw that too) She doesn't actually have any other distinctive markings or scars because she tries not to get involved in anything, but there is an old, narrow scar on the side of her head hidden under her hair.
I'm really bad at descriptions I am so sorry.
Also, please start sleeping earlier oh my god. ...I say as though I have a right to talk. I think I was actually awake at 4am too}

Webdew: I would really love seeing your character! If you're comfortable with making your art public, could you possibly share it when you've finished? Aurora: your little lady sounds absolutely lovely! You needn't worry about your coherency; I believe I understand what you're visualizing here... Although you made the mistake of comparing her to a forest sprite and I feel like I'm going to really go overboard while having fun with that. You've been warned. Loose and flowy dresses are my favorite style of dress to draw. I'll probably get her done before the day is done! I am far more practiced in females than in males. I hope Rockabye doesn't mind if I warm upby drawing her... Thank you for giving me permission to draw her! Regarding your last note: I don't sleep and probably won't until I have a job that makes me. Rockabye: Well, even exhausted, I can inform you with complete honesty that you type more articulately than anybody else I have met. I understood exactly what you were trying to say :3 As for disappointing you, I'm still going to try my best as though I could, even if it's not possible. Although it is nice to know there's no pressure ^^ Er, thank you. Hey, your style is so much more than just descriptions of enviornments, though. You set the stage with your choice of words alone, and your pacing... wow. Your pacing is simply magnificent! If only I had your extensive vocabulary so that I could express my admiration in a way that would do it justice. Just... your use of sentence length in different situations adds tension when needed and comedy and everything is always in the right place and gaah, I think I've gone off tangent to just gush about your writing. Sorry. Maybe you need to practice in setting a scene with similes or whatever, but I'm just pointing out... for... some reason... that your writing is awesome and you do well even lacking in certain areas. I think I was unconcsiously looking for an excuse to tell you what I thought of your stories. Sorry. I can never stay on one tangent. Dang, yeah. I adore your characters. Thank you for the information! Sharing birthdays is a really original touch that I honestly haven't seen a lot for non-twins in stories. It's more common in reality than one would think. Join the clubGood morning/afternoon, all!

Summer was fast approaching, though the weather apparently had yet to accept this. Thick cinereal clouds choked the sky and obscured the sun, shading the newly awakened city below in monochromes to match the dreary lifeless buildings and stained alleyways. The air was wet and muggy, carrying a scent that only teased at rain to either relieve or worsen the humidity. People shuffled by on their own solitary paths to starting their day. Shared but separate.
A man stretched and yawned as he flipped the sign on his diner to 'OPEN'. A harried businesswoman clacked by in heels with phone pressed to her ear and narrowed eyes on her watch. Two teens slouched into an alley just as a patrol car rolled by. And all of this was depicted in varying shades of gray. As if everyone and everything had been shaded in with a dull pencil whose artist didn't feel the need to bother with color. So dull and unimaginative. Tsvetan would hate gray if he didn't connect it, even obliquely, with the man he saw as an older brother.
The man who was the sole reason he was languishing in such a place when he could be enjoying a pina colada at the beach house- 'And that's enough of that.' Tsvetan chastised himself, clicking his tongue in irritation as he ducked his head to hide what he feared was a frown on his usually gentle visage. While he'd always been a 'city dweller' at heart, Tsvetan was accustomed to brilliance and color. To friendly faces and a connection to one's neighbors that went deeper than brief grunts when you happened to cross paths. He loved people, but big cities and the gray of it all tended to intimidate him. Not that he couldn't brave them- he'd just rather not. Also he was willing to blame at least part of his current mood on Wysten and his tendency to make enemies almost as quickly as Tsvetan could collect allies.
It wasn't that dear Wysten was the kind of person who readily inspired hate, he reflected as he wove his way through the crowded intersection, it was simply that he was one of those dreaded 'go big or go home' types. He couldn't just have someone he'd bumped into at the coffee shop mildly dislike him, oh no. He had to blow up the property of a million dollar corporation and curse them out in three different languages as he did so. -They had it coming, but still-
And so, Tsvetan, being of sound mind and mild temperament, was designated the trying neverending vocation of cleaning up after his fiery boss. He was the gentle one. The diplomat. The gentle diplomat who should be sipping a fruity drink on sunny shores and catching up on his Netflix right now.
'Ten. I love you and I love my job, but if you brush off another anger management class I'm afraid of what I'll do to you.'
The previous night's assignment of smoothing ruffled feathers and making potential allies had ended in success -he would accept no less- but at the cost of his sleep. And apparently his mood as well. Perhaps this was why his reaction to a near collision with the hooded figure wasn't handled with his usual grace- not that one could easily discern the difference.
"My apologies." His soft voice hardly carried over the hustle and bustle of the city, but the barest hints of steel lent it more weight than it usually possessed. "I shall endeavor to more closely 'watch where I'm going' when it comes to encountering those who walk through shadows instead of in areas that make them easier to differentiate from the gloom of the street." They had paused on the cracked sidewalk closest to a looming building, both apparently attempting to avoid a crowd. But while his stance was loose and only slightly angled toward her to suggest whom he was addressing, her body had tensed up shortly after her outburst. Apparently an uncharacteristic one, if her posture was anything to go by.
A few heads had turned their way at that, and Tsvetan felt his ire drain from him at her obvious discomfort. He stepped forward and turned as if to look into the storefront window, blocking the particularly irate gaze of a suited man on his phone from her view. He abruptly felt horrible at his words, stopping just shy of biting his lip when he turned to apologize, but found her rapidly retreating form beginning to coalesce back into the shade of the buildings and her 'don't notice me' hunch.
'What's wrong with you? That was entirely uncalled for! You don't deserve a vacation if you can't handle a little stress.'
She obviously didn't want to be approached, but he resolved to at least amend his words before leaving her to her own devices. However much he didn't quite like the thought of it- Tsvetan had encountered many others with such guarded miens, and for reasons that usually involved the Kingsleigh's enemies. There had been more as of late. More victims. More attacks. More of everything that Wysten was stubbornly attempting to protect others of their kind from. Tsvetan wondered briefly if he might be able to get a look at her face and find out whether she needed to be added to their recovery list, but was forced to push that thought aside in favor of his current mission when she turned a corner and disappeared from view.
"Excuse me." He trotted to catch up to her, remaining at a respectable distance with hands free of his slacks and in clear view, one threading through the silken sloe locks escaping his ponytail. "I apologize for my earlier words, that was very rude of me, especially when I was entirely at fault." The corner of his mouth twitched upwards. "Or rather, I almost was. Your reflexes are obviously far better than mine."

Aaah thank you so much! Again! If only I had a more extensive vocabulary so that I could express my gratitude in a way that does what your words mean to me justice~ I credit all of the spectacular authors I've been privileged to come across over the years, they've really influenced me and helped me develop my style. And honestly I can't write anything without injecting a smidge of humor. Even if it is dry. -Also I failed similes, metaphors, & poetry in grade school so I'm trying x3-
Aw, I'm glad you like them~ ^^ I try to do right by them.

((Yay for inspiration! And being charming is his job. On another note, I am so glad I managed to get that across because I have difficulty portraying certain aspects of characters. I'm afraid to write anyone explicitly charming or flirtatious because I feel I wouldn't be able to communicate it properly. How do you even flirt? What is charm? Questions like those are the reason Ruaidhri and Oleander exist only in my Mind Palace. And a few snippets. Aaah, she's so awesome, Webdew! How did you get the soft effect on her fur? And the dust/sparkles- stardust?- is so wonderfully done. ^^ You did really well on her proportions too. Your pride in her eyes, is it in the shading? Look at me acting like I can actually critique art x3))
