! introduction, player: cameron

hello hello
Hey folks, I'm new. My name's Cameron, but since I take it you already have one of those in-game (it was my name first, kid, back off!), feel free to call me any nickname or variation thereof. I apologise in advance for any confusion, lmao. Anyway, I'm 24 and a graduate/professional student. I'm also falling off the wagon after 4-or-so years clean from RP, thanks to a little prodding by JJ. God help me.

I picked up 1 character. This little turdblossom is Ulysses Quayle, Ebonhide junior and baby bro to Cricket. Basically, his shtick is that he was everyone's precious baby angel until he went to boarding school and hit puberty and stuff, and then people stopped finding him cute and his whole world fell apart. Now he's like "WHO AM I" and because he's a teenager, this results in 50% melancholic navel-gazing and 50% Acting Out™. Expect trouble in everything but class, because he's terribly afraid that if he isn't effortlessly succeeding at school, it means he's lost his last identity token ("smart").

So, he's kind of a neurotic brat. Thankfully, he's also pretty charming, loyal to friends and fam, good with creatures (ask him about his blue tongued skink) 'n' kids, and somewhere deep down, a generally good guy. Ulysses is a chaser on the Quidditch team and very into it.

So yeah, that's Ulysses in a nutshell, I guess. Any plots or suggestions would be more than welcomed. I'm excited to play with you guys.

ETA: Oh, contact info! Feel free to email me at captainkickflips@gmail.com or hit me up on my CDJ, angoranimi. Sadly, I'm probably in a different time zone than most of y'all (GMT) but I'll do my best to be awake at odd hours, lol.

I've told you about my characters already but I'll post it here for your and everyone else's reference.

CLEMENTINE: Sorry, Ebonhide Quidditch team, Ulysses and Clem hate each other. And not in the cute way that Clem hates most people. They're long-standing rivals since their days at Ilvermorny (was Ulysses also on the Ilvermorny Quidditch team? Probably since then), where they frequently got in trouble for beating each other up. Since Clem's at Gooseberry on scholarship she tries not to like, deck him in the face anymore, but they still verbally get into it on the regular. Getting them to work together as chasers is a huge ordeal.

ALSO! @ Wilde, Dominic, and Kenzie: Ulysses is another junior former-Wampus. FUN GROUP!

REECE: idk if I mentioned this to you Cam but Reece's mom is a family friend of the Quayles, so they'd know each other from, like, life. They were probably made to sit at the kids' table together at Christmas parties. They probably got along better when they were kids than they do now. KINDERGARTEN PALS MAYBE? Now that he's having his Teenage Angst Phase, Reece is just like "lite avoid". He's ALLERGIC TO DRAMA.

ARIADNE: Ari sucks but she's in the same house as him and she likes weird animals so she's possibly asked him about his Blue Tongued Skink before. She doesn't really ~get~ American pureblood culture but the whole muggle-prejudice thing is super ingrained for her so she probably would just be kind of a suck-up in general.

IVY: They probably don't interact much but if you wanna do an ass pull thing to make a plot for them I'll allow it

CLEM SUCKS AND IS A BULLY! How very dare! Also, yeah, in my app I wrote that Ulysses discovered Quidditch at Ilvermorny, so I guess that's when it all began, probably. I feel sorry for the other players on the team, because I feel like Ulysses will throw a goddamn tantrum whenever Clem gets, uhh, anything. He's not being spiteful! She's just wrong all the time forever.

Ohhh, no I don't thinl you mentioned, re: Reece. I would love for them to be kindergarten pals. Honestly, Ulysses was a genuine de-lite back then, so if Reece is a good kid, they probably had a blast, idk, doing puzzles and looking at bugs together. And now, Ulysses is terrible. Sorry, Reece.

Lmao, Ari seems kind of hilarious, honestly. Ulysses pretends he's Too Cool to talk about Skink Facts, but he would deadass appreciate anyone who was like "hey.... nice lizard...." Also, anyone who would suck up to him. They might (might) get along.

Please, I only write the finest, all-natural, organic asspulls. We'll see if they're any fun together, lol.

HONESTLY SHE IS LMAO. She probably started it. They both got on the team the first year they were eligible and Ulysses was like "HI NICE TO MEET YOU" and clem was like "i fucking hate this kid" and punched him in the face for no reason. I bet he reminds her of her shithead pureblood cousin/original foe

They definitely looked at bugs together and it was deeply adorable

THIS IS IDEAL because the Slytherin Mean Girls taught Ari that being into weird animals is not cute or attractive so she pretends not to be. I'm just imagining them having a belabored conversation about Skink Facts while they both pretend to be deeply uninterested in Skinks and then Rex bleps and they're both like "omg... :')"

	okay i just realized that even though they were on the same ilvermorny team they didn't HAVE to be in the same house at gooseberry and clementine probably threw a temper tantrum after ulysses got sorted. I GOT HERE FIRST (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This is so great! I love this! I've been trying to figure out how to get Clem and Cricket to talk/get along because it always seemed weird that they weren't passable friends, BUT NOW IT ALL MAKES SO MUCH SENSE. Quit torturing my brother, Clem! [Plz keep torturing him] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yeah she thinks he's the devil incarnate basically lmao. and i can't imagine cricket was super into how ulysses suddenly started getting in a ton of trouble after he met her. SORRY, QUAYLES. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This adds a whole new element to Cricket's near mental breakdown at Ilvermorny. WHY IS MY LIL BRO SUDDENLY BEATING UP GIRLS?!?! WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?! She's probably gotten MOSTLY over it by now, but I imagine she does think Clem deserves it somehow. This is my excuse for why bad mom Aleena never made an effort to have Cricket be more invested in the junior girls. (Reply to this) (Parent)
