HI THERE. My name is Jenny. I am absolutely a human and not a sentient neural network comprised of tumblr porn bots and smart refrigerators. I am freshly 31 and a professional intern wrangler and technology facilitator for physicians. I like cats, video games, making gifs and Sameer Gadhia's delicious voice, which is like the voice version of hair in a shampoo commercial.

I will be playing senior Ribbonfin meathead, Xavier Lewis. These creaky old bones are 8 years out of practice for online RP, so I appreciate your patience while I remember how to interact with other people. I AM REALLY EXCITED TO GET STARTED. Here are some KEWL FACTS about Xavier:

+ Zav is a mathematical genius. He is...not so great at most other things. But, by golly, if you need some large integers quickly calculated by a human being instead of a calculator, he's your man.
+ He is in the following classes: Hermeticism, History of Magic, Potions, Transfiguration, Astronomy, Magical Rudiments, Animagus Studies (Pangolin), Independent Study - Arithmancy
+ He is in the following clubs: Quidditch (Reserve); Boating; LARP; Dueling & Fencing; Gaming
+ He is constantly sustaining serious injuries because he is clumsy, distracted and not just danger prone but, like, idk, consciously re-enacting that "Dumb Ways to Die" video from Australia's transit authority.
+ He is originally from Huntington, WV but currently resides in Long Island, NY. He has an Appalachian accent. If you listen to any of the MBMBAM podcasts, Justin is the most likely to swing into it.
+ His mother is the MACUSA representative for WVA and she is A SHARK. Figuratively. His dad is basically a wizard CPA. He has a little sister named Nisha and he is pretty sure he hasn't actually seen her face in 5 years because it is always glued to a phone screen.
+ He is always eating.
+ Personality-wise, Xavier would make a good stand in for Pauly Shore in an 80s teen movie. He is very nice, fun loving, eccentric, a bit of an airhead and easy to manipulate. A little bit of a doormat.

JUST SOME PLOT THOUGHTS:
+ Xavier gets some amount of tutoring in every class but Transmutation (and Animagus Studies), so if anyone is interested in being a tutor...TADA.
+ I mentioned in Xavier's history that he has "found himself in relationships" via having an inability to say no to people and then was immediately completely miserable so it probably fell apart within a week. Suuuper fun, I know. If anyone is interested, let me know.
+ Xavier has been campaigning since September for a "Senior Jorts Day" in the spring, where all the seniors wear the top halves of their uniform as normal but also wear jorts (preferably cut off with the pockets dangling out of course). He keeps calling it "The THIGHlight of the year."

OKAY I HAVE RAMBLED ENOUGH. I'M OUT.

heeeey I'm Roz

So first and foremost, the most active character in this game and 90 percent the only character I play (which is how he got to be so active, I have no life but a massive neglect problem with every character but him; it's a real problem; ironically, he's not at this journal)

Is Christopher Park. He's a senior coppertale. Chris is like the personification of a grumpy cat meme. He was WAY grumpier when this game started but these fucking losers have just ... worn him down with compassion and feelings and they keep calling him nice now, it's a real problem.

He's a beater on the coppertale quidditch team (the coppertale quidditch team has lost every game they've played this year, and they're about to play the only team that's won every game this year, if you care about quidditch, you picked a great time to join), and is in duelling and fencing and larp and gaming and also four of Xavier's classes. So the thing about chris is that he's super prickly, but he's literally all bark and no bite, except for the people he don't like ~~And also the people he does like that like to be bitten~~.

So I think he and Xavier should have this weird friendship, where Chris just lured them into a friendship one day in like freshman year, with tacos, and then too much time passed and it would be weird to stop being friends because they're already here so they're just friends now. Chris also does tutor, so he could help Zav with history of magic, potions and Herm.

I also felt like that comment was getting way too long so i decided to make a second one for the rest of my characters lmao (I forgot to add that in larp. Chris's entire character is Healer Mufferaw. He emulates their school healer to the point that he lectures anybody who gets "injured". It's great)

So AT this journal is Solomon Webb. He's a sophomore Ebonhide. He's on the quidditch team as a chaser. He and xavier probably won't have a lot of overlap because of age and year, but Solomon does enjoy interacting with people, and he's a walking encyclopedia of useless shit, so he probably finds Xavier fascinating. He's also in literally every activity Xavier is, I'm pretty sure. I signed him up for nearly literally every group. I don't play this kid enough, it's depressing.

Then I have Olivia Sanchez, who's a junior coppertale. She's in a few of the same activities as Xavier, and she's also a prefect, so they might have more overlap. Olivia was raised in a family reliant on boxing. So she's pretty badass, but really as a prefect, she just wants to help people be their best self, so she's not like a super enforceful prefect. She likes to award points to people when they tell a clever joke tbh that's her highlight here.

And LAST I have Matteo Diaz, who is actually a ribbonfin and who I probably should've started with. He's a junior. He's also in some groups that Xavier is, I think. Matteo is a little weird. He's - okay like I just realized yesterday that Matteo is basically Professor Trelawney. A lot of the shit he says doesn't make sense; it's a lot of hippie bullshit. But he's super loving, and he embraces people for exactly who they are or who they want to be, even if they're actually assholes. So he probably loves Xavier. So they're not in the same year, but they could be bros. Teo could be bros with a park bench if I'm being completely honest. He could have quite a lovely conversation about whether matter is destroyed in the process of reincarnation or not with that park bench.

So that's what I have. And I'm open to literally anything. The weirder the better.

	I'm sure Solomon, Olivia and Xavier have some basic interactions. He is very much a kill-you-with-kindness kinda person so he would get along with both of them. Matteo may bring out some slack jawed awe in Zav, who probably totally does not understand anything the kid says, but that's okay you do you my dude live long and prosper. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	ROFL This is why you shouldn't leave food out. You attract teenagers. I kind of love that idea. Xav is a fairly chill person so as long as Chris doesn't push any of his highly specific buttons I imagine they would continue to get along. (Reply to this) (Parent)
