Manchester Honors OOC

If you're ready, by all means begin playing! Some of us *glares at Ally*, still haven't finished our chracters completely.

Do us a favor, though, and introduce yourself because some of us don't know everyone. Put those up as a separate post in the OOC Journal.

We're so excited to get this game started! Thanks for all your support, guys!

♥ Mark and Ally

ETA: Also, because we're currently in the summer months of the school year, you may have to come up with a reason your character is still around. i.e. they're going to summer school, they have a job they can't abandon, etc. This will also give people a good reason to be coming on as we begin because a lot of new students arrive during the summer to check out their school, etc.

And because I'm not that bright, I forgot to add the OOC journal and RPG journal to the friend add. If you haven't done it, you'll need to friend them before you can see them on your flist. I've added them now if you want to do a quick update, otherwise you'll need to do it manually. Sorry! :/

I'm Ally, one of the mods. I take care of the website and mod journal for the most part. Any problems, spelling errors (cause God knows there are some), mistakes with your character info, etc. Just come to me and I'll get them fixed asap. My aim is livebythebone and my email is livebythebone[at]gmail[dot]com.

Just a little about myself... I'm old enough to be your mother. Okay, maybe not, but I'm old. I've been RPing for about 12 years all total. I started out on AOL in chat rooms and over IM. I moved to message board games briefly before I moved to journal games about four years ago. I've modded most of the games I've played in, so I have a lot of modding experience. I've been married for six years, I have no kids, but I do have two cats which is almost the same thing. I'm currently going to school for a multimedia degree (graphic design, photography, video, web design, etc.) and my passion (aside from RP) is music. I also have a habit of taking the limit in characters. I, of course, have the limit now, which is four. Let me tell you about them:

This journal is for Britta- she's an Eleionomae which is a marsh nymph. She's very flirtatious, especially around virgin boys (which is starting to become extremely hard to find). But she likes girls, too. She's majoring in Biology and likes the marshy places. She's a Sophmore this year. House Kemen.

her_own_skin is Marie- she's a selkie. She's very shy around humans, and doesn't especially enjoy big crowds. She's wary of getting to close to anyone, but she's really great once you get to know her. She works at an ice cream parlour as a waitress and is currently majoring in Oceanography. She's a junior in House Shae.

the_gymnast is Dannika- she's a human. She's in House Naur cause her sign is Leo. She's overly bubbly, loves gymnastics and music and is somewhat naive. She's adopted and thinks a crazy night is a sleepover with friends. She's a Freshman this year. Like other humans, she carries a talisman that keeps her from falling in love with every supernatural around. She's majoring in Applied Technology because she can't major in gymnastics.

demon_art is Isabelle- she's a demon. She's also an art professor at Alden. She hates to be around more than one or two people at a time and prefers to be alone if possible. She sort of suffers through her classes. She's old, around 260 or so and has been teaching at Alden for 100 years now. She controls a nasty disease called Porphyria. It affects the nervous system and the skin and makes the victim's urine and bowel movements purple! She also has the ability to figure things out about a person or object by licking and smelling them.

They're all mostly finished except for their backgrounds. But once they're finished I'll be ready to play! Looking forward to this game and playing with all of you!

Hello, everyone! I'm Jen, and I think I know most of you but probably not all. Anyway, let's see, about me. I have been roleplaying for far too many years now, starting off with pen and paper DnD campaigns, moving online. I started off with asterisks ages ago, which I'm sort of ashamed to admit, but there you go. We all have to start somewhere, right? Um, I'm in the PST timezone, and... I think that's about it. Let's move on to the characters!

First, with this journal, we have Keith Summers. He's from Northern BC, Canada, so he's got a bit of that small town thing going on. He has family issues and is more or less estranged from all of them. He's quiet and brilliant and in the pre-med program. Oh, and he's a water based witch, though the only spells he'll use are healing. He needs friends, and I'm considering getting him a job at least for the summer, so any suggestions for that would be great.

Alright, and then we have Dr Kathryn Munroe scientific_kat, a lycan, more specifically a panther. She's a science lover, particularly astronomy, that had her dreams of working at NASA crushed and has turned to teaching as a secondary career. Her doctorate is in physics, and she's brilliant, cold, and controlled. Um, what else... oh, she's Wiccan. So while she might consider herself a witch, she has no magical powers outside of what was given to her by lycanthropy.

I think that about covers it! I can't wait to start playing, and if anyone would like to contact me for plots, I can be found on AIM at Vox Aequora, or by email at aloniel[at]yahoo[dot]com.

Hi Everyone! I'm Mark (Mod #2) and I've been Role Playing for awhile. The White Wolf games, Sword & Sorcery, etc. I've played in several journal games, mostly ones I've modded, along with Ally and our friend, Jase. We've modded a variety of games, vampires, werewolves, panfandom, gods & Goddesses, etc. We've even done the fey/supernatural, but not quite in this format, with the university and human awareness and all, so I hope this one is as successful as the others have been.

I know some of you and those I don't know, I'm excited to meet!

Now, let's meet my characters:

Brandon Kane apollo_son is a demigod with the power to emotionally affect others with his singing; he is the son of the Greek god, Apollo, and a human woman. He has only met his father twice, but both meetings were memorable. His mother raised him to be kind to others and to be humble about his paranormal abilities. Eleanor Kane was successful with her boy; he never treated a human like he was better because of his superior strength, speed or intelligence, but one thing Ms. Kane couldn't train out of her boy was his godlike libido. He is a junior at Alden University and well known on campus.

Whippersnapper whip_r_snapper is a pixie with all of their abilities and flaws. He's a caring, thoughtful sort, devoted to his younger brother, Raggamuffin, and fond of helping humans he deems worthy of deserving help. He also is quite fond of pranks and that is pranks on a grand scale; he's not just fond of pulling these pranks, it's actually a compulsion. Whip makes sure to find those deserving of such pranks before he lets loose though. He's in his freshman year and very excited to be at Alden U. To make his name fit on the forms, he has altered it to Whip R. Snapper.

Tanner Koskinen just_tanner is a human boy beginning his freshman year at Alden University. He comes from a family where he is the eldest of six children and his father left them when he was nine years old. Tanner tried from that point on to be the man of the family, getting a job as soon as he was able and working hard, turning his full check over to his mother. He continued to pull straight As at school while he worked and never bought anything new for himself. He is at Alden, due to a special deal worked out with Dean Alden himself. Tanner is looking forward to attending the University, hoping his insecurity and shyness won't hold him back.

Gideon Whyte prof_witch is a Professor of Anthropology and a witch with earth-based powers. He was raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, England by an English father, who was also a witch, and a Chinese mother, who practiced Chinese Traditional Medicine. He was quiet and studious as a child with a ravenous hunger to learn; he is still the same. Gideon is kind and helpful to his students, especially to those who show a real interest in learning. To those who don't take his classes seriously, he has no patience.

Ummmm, What else? Oh, My email is kitsune_2@hotmail.com and my AIM is MarktheKitsune.

I'm really excited about this game!

I almost forgot today was opening day. Bad me.

Anywayyysss . . .

Some know me, some don't. I'm Cailin! I play a vampire (Are you shocked? Pretend you're shocked.) named Autumn. I'd like to say I'll just be playing her, but I've sung that tune before *pokes at dead!Cerah and dead!Jesse*

But, yeah, Autumn. She's only nineteen with the body of a sixteen-year-old. As a human, she was adopted by everything's-got-to-be-perfect parents, and then when she was turned, she ran away to live with her sire, Erick. Autumn has zero interest in attending school or being social, but Erick, who's a big contributor to the school, wants to get her involved in the world instead of hiding away from it. She can be dark and moody, and is a bit self-destructive when she's alone and frustrated.

I know, she probably doesn't sound very fun, but I plan on having her get a grip sooner or later.
