Obligatory Awkward Intro of the year goes to....
Hi Guys!

It's been a while since i've done one of these, so if i'm super awkward bear with me. I promise I get better with time. Anyways, you can call me Oddy. Roz introduced me to the game concept and I was sold once she got to American Wizarding School so I just had to take a break from my break ~~because muses get loud when they're persistent.~~

Basics about me: I'm 25, currently attending college for a computer science degree (so you'll probably hear me squee about technology at one point if/when we talk outside of game) and I get super awkward in new places ~~(obviously)~~. I've been RPing on and off for the last... oh ... lets just say I've been around since the days of AIM rps. Currently my fandoms include a great many things that I'm horribly outdated on but I'm cool about spoilers.

If you want to contact me for pottage, Roxie's drop box is probably the best place to start. Otherwise, you can email me at xmary.greenmanx@gmail.com. Just make sure to include that you're from the game and which character you play because I'm horrible at keeping up with who plays who (sorry, please don't take it personally).

Also just a small note, but I'm not allowed to take on anymore characters until after December, when this semester ends. So mods, if you could do me a favor and help me keep that promise to myself I'd appreciate it (because I'll no doubt get more muses as time goes on).

ANYWAY. ONTO THE IMPORTANT STUFF.

I bring you Roxanne Barringer (but call her Roxie, the only people who actually use her full name are her grandfather and mother. sometimes her dad if the conversation is a serious subject matter).

She's a half blood who hails from Los Angelus, CA . She grew up in the muggle world hearing stories about the Wizarding World from her mother. Her father is a stage magician (muggle magic, not the "real" kind) and her mother is a pureblood. The family currently lives in the hotel where her father performs under a sort of Employee Discount. Basically, they're a close knit family of con artists. Cross one, and you cross the whole lot.

Roxanne is the only other family member who is a witch. Her grandfather is sponsoring her education in the hopes of producing someone he can proudly call heir. She puts a lot of pressure on herself because of this and nearly everything she's active in is to further her chance of procuring the wealth that he's offered.

Most people probably see Roxanne as a friendly, amiable, approachable person but she's quick to twist things to her advantage. She's a bit of a loud mouth, who hates losing. At this point in her education, she's probably too preoccupied to deal with new people on the chess board.

She sings, but it's her money-maker not her passion. She's performed on stage at the hotel where her family lives before, and it's definitely something she cultivates because a girl's gotta eat right? That said, Quidditch is the one thing she does for herself, for the sheer fun of it.

She's extremely passionate about Quidditch and is taking the recent loss pretty hard. Which really translates to staying out as late as possible for her own, independent training (which she'll likely drag her partner into at some point).

She's running on empty fumes at this point, so between classes, Quidditch Practice and Choir, if you see her without caffeine it's going to be ugly.

It should be noted that Roxanne tried out for Quidditch every year, at first trying to snag the spot of Seeker, then eventually landing a spot as a Beater.

Plotwise, there's a couple of things i'm interested in.

SY: I really feel like these two would have met at some point before Gooseberry high. And if you're cool with it, I can totally see a frenemies sort of thing happening here because they have potential for a really interesting dynamic.

CHRIS: Roxie's probably pestering you to join her after Quidditch practice, so that'll be fun. She's really hard to scare away (something both Sy and Chris have probably seen throughout their time at Gooseberry). Other details can be sorted out I'm sure. I'm game for just about anything, so if you have any particulars, let me know!

So this was really long and awkward but everything you need to know about Roxie can be read here at her profile.

Don't mind the journal itself please, it's still under construction. But yeah. nice meeting you all!

~~I promise I'm not always so freaking ramble-y~~

Hey Oddy! :) I'm Meggie, one of the mods. Welcome to the game! I'll try not to be a horrible enabler about more characters. ♥ I have four characters in descending order of relevance.

Reid Wainwright (this journal) is on the Coppertale Quidditch team with Roxie, and they're in the same year too. Reid is an ice prince, but Roxie will know that he's actually just awwwwwkwaaaaaaaaard. He has a really hard time articulating himself or understanding people, and he's really emotionally stilted. He loves the team, though, so Roxie's a default friend.

Rafael Ramirez (

firstposition) is a strict senior prefect in Coppertale. He'll probably like Roxie most of the time, but if he catchers her trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes, he'll be quick to lay down the law. In general, he's outgoing, poised, kind, and likes to joke around, but he's also authoritative and a control freak.

Diego Morales (

morale) is a pureblood senior Azurcrest musician. Music is 100% his passion. He's in Choir with her, and he's a staple of the music room. He has a pretty voice, but it's better suited for his chosen genre of folk than for choir. Chances are he ends up drowned out in most performances. He's a very friendly ditz who is desperate to be loved. Fun but high maintenance, thoughtful but dangerously impulsive. He's sure to be warm with Roxie, and he's easy to manipulate if she can figure out his buttons. It's somewhat common knowledge he cheated on his girlfriend, Tabitha Ogletree, last year.

Calvin Evercreech (

firstposition) is a sophomore Ribbonfin exchange student from hogwarts. Calvin's also in Choir with Roxie, but they probably won't talk much outside of it. He's prickly and has a very bad attitude, but he's an academic whiz kid. Last year he was extremely unpleasant, but this year he's eased up a lot and is trying to be a better person. Success is hit and miss. He's a regular target of Sylvester Stoker's bullying, and tends to default distrust Coppertales, especially ones who are at all friendly with Sy.

Re: Reid. Roxie's really hard to scare away anyway, and was likely seeing him as her one competition during try outs. So he probably didn't phase her on that end, mostly just annoyed her with the fact that he made the team before she did. She'll take that personally. But she puts up with him because he's a teammate and he probably motivates her to train harder when it comes to Quidditch.

Re: Rafael: Roxie will be on her best behavior around him but secretly hates his authority-complex and probably tries to get him to loosen up a bit.

Diego: She probably keeps in her pocket just in case because easily manipulated people are useful. She'll end up getting him into trouble probably.

Calvin: Prickly and bad attitudes don't phase Roxy, but she doesn't really have much use for him. Maybe they end up having to work on a duet with each other at one point? Either way, Roxy wouldn't like the way he deals or talks to her team captain, so she'd butt heads with Calvin for sure. Which could be fun to play out.
