Name: Dylan 'D' Flues

Age: 17

Nationality: In west Philadelphia, born and raised

Picture: Posted Image

Personality: Dylan is quiet. He doesn't like raising his voice and is a hard person to get to know. Once you do know him, he's funny, light-hearted, and kind. His cold exterior came from being bullied throughout high school. He's usually sitting alone, either listening to his iPod, reading a book, or playing his Gameboy DS. To people he doesn't like, he's very blunt towards them. He'll tell them whatever he wants in a calm voice, which can usually piss off the others.

History: Throughout most of his life, Dylan was bullied. He has had very few friends (though they all died before he met the group). His parents divorced at a young age of 5 and he went to live with his dad. Him and his dad had a very close relationship. Dylan was always outgoing at home and he never got in trouble due to his dad raising him well. Then, before going on another hunting trip with his dad, he found him infected in his living room. His dad attacked him and when he took a bite out of his pant-leg, Dylan was forced to shoot his dad, much to his dismay. He then went outside and saw the whole world to shit. He was forced to take his dads car and drive away until he met the group in the RPG.

Acquired Skill: His dad usually took him on hunting trips. During which, he became very skilled with hand guns (He prefers using a Glock-17). Since his dad owned a shooting range, he allowed Dylan to come in and shoot targets on weekends after closing. His favorite gun to use was the G-36. He has learned to use these guns very well.


Relationships: WILL FILL OUT LATER

Colour: Blue

Strengths and Weaknesses: Dylan is very good with a gun. He knows how to operate them, fix them, ect. He's also very smart and can up with plans in a snap. But Dylan is quiet, and doesn't really talk much, which can annoy those with short tempers. He's also blunt, which can annoy everyone. He is also not a fast runner or a good swimmer.

Interests/Fears: He loves playing Pokemon Games on his DS (Pokemon: Emerald and Pokemon: Black Versions being his most played), listening to music and reading. His main fear are the zombies and deaths.

Extra Information: He wears a necklace that his dad gave him on his 10th birthday.

NAME:

Roisin Byrne


AGE:

18



Posted Image

"while you make pretty speeches, I'm being cut to shreds...."



NATIONALITY:

Born in Dublin, Ireland. Currently resides in Colorado, United States.


PERSONALITY:

Roisin is a very 'unique' individual. Most of the time Roisin is very much a introvert, but she does experience spontaneous moments of extrovertedness, especially when she passes over into what she deems to be "The Secret World". At random times throughout her life, Roisin's perception of everything and everyone around her will twist into a somewhat demented and warped universe that only she can experience. In this twisted world view the things around her will change into darker, more exaggerated versions of themselves, and they will change at Roisin's every whim. Of course the events in this "Secret World" aren't real, but simply a condition that plagues Roisin due to her fading mental state that was brought on by traumatic events as a child.

When Roisin inhabits this "Secret World", she feels as though is at peace with the world and she feels simply serene, as though she is on some kind of higher plane, no matter what is happening to her. Because of this, Roisin will often use her "Secret World' as a way to escape potentially harmful and under meaning circumstances. Of course these things are still actually happening to her, but her mind warps her perception of these things as a way to block out these traumatic events. The truth about these traumatic events still resides inside of Roisin's memory however, no matter how hard she tries, causing both her mind and her mental state to be gradually torn apart. Roisin has never told anyone about her own "Secret World", as she fears that those who find about it may attempt to corrupt it with their own personal darkness.

Roisin is a very, very introverted individual, often walking through the halls of the high school with her head down and her eyes on the floor. Roisin will always keep to herself and if another person tries to interact with her she will do her best to flat out ignore them if she can. This is the same at school, with Roisin only really interacting with her teachers, but even then these were only brief conversations about the work at hand. A few of Roisin's fellow students have tried to speak to her in the past, with varying degrees of success. Sometimes they have spoken to her while her perception lies within "The Secret World", meaning Roisin spoke in a different manner while also performing various over the top actions while babbling on about things that made no sense to those not in tune with Roisin's "Secret World". This has led to Roisin gaining the reputation of being 'creepy, twisted and insane".

Roisin has often been bullied by some of her meaner classmates. One such incident occurred when Roisin encountered one of the popular cheerleaders out of school. The other girl, who had a heavy reputation of being a bully, and noticing that she and Roisin were alone, took the time to both ridicule and physically harass Roisin. Roisin, who's mind quickly retreated into "The Secret World", did her best to block out the harassment and to collect herself with "The Secret World". Roisin's mind set her out the task of painting a beautiful portrait with watercolors into what was described as "The Lake of Tears", when in reality Roisin was actually carving into the bullying girl's face with a razor blade that Roisin always kept in her shoe. The girl's screams broke Roisin out of "The Secret World"'s trance, and she stopped her actions with the razor blade before she did any serious, non-superficial damage. Never the less, the victimized girl was traumatized and she soon moved away with her family after being pulled out of school. She never attempted to press charges against Roisin however, for fear of what the twisted girl might do to her next.

Roisin is a very vengeful person, and she isn't capable of forgiveness, nor is she able to forget what someone has done to her. Although it isn't always clear to those around her, Roisin keeps track of all the wrongdoing that has been inflicted on her, even going as far as to lock them away inside "The Sea Of Memories", a place within "The Secret World". In reality, "The Sea Of Memories" is actually a journal that Roisin keeps hidden under her bed. Roisin is simply waiting for the right moment when she can unleash her wrath and obtain revenge for all of the pain and suffering that has been inflicted upon her. Until that moment though, Roisin is content to keep that part of her psyche locked away inside "The Secret World" and the fragile mind that contains it.

"the best thing you ever had has gone away...."


HISTORY:

Roisin is originally from Dublin, which is located in the country of Ireland. She was born to Seamus and Grace Byrne, a young couple that lived on a farm together. Seamus and Grace ran the farm for a living and as soon as Roisin was old enough she was forced to do her part in helping out around the farm as well. Roisin hated having to do this, and she also hated the fact that she lived on a farm in what she deemed to be the middle of nowhere. Roisin dreamed of being able to explore her own way in life through a vast and far-away land.

Something that helped Roisin get through what she deemed to be a mundane lifestyle was her grandfather Eoin, who was Grace's father. Eoin was a widow, and not having any other family left aside from Roisin and Grace, he tended to visit a lot and help out on the farm, often staying for weeks at a time. Roisin absolutely loved her grandfather, and to this day she still feels as though she has never been as close to someone as she was to her grandfather.

Eoin was a veteran of World War II, a war that he was lucky to have survived, and he would regularly tell all of his war stories and experiences to his captivated granddaughter, leaving out a few gory details of course. Roisin loved these storytelling moments with her grandfather and it's because of this that she nows has a bit of a passion for History, as she will sometimes read up about many different things from the past in her free time. She believes that for one to explore the future, they must first explore the past.

The thing that captivated Roisin most about Eoin's stories was something that he referred to as "The Secret World", a place where he could send his mind away from all of the atrocities that surrounded him in the war. Eoin used to envision a much happier place in his mind, ones that usually involved Roisin's late grandmother Katie, whenever the stress of battle became too much for him and he was on the risk of a mental breakdown. Eoin used this many times to escape the horror of a close friend and fellow soldier suffering a gruesome demise right in front of him, something that he just couldn't deal with.

Roisin was fascinated about her grandfather's idea of creating another landscape where one's mind can run free, and so she began to try and create her own "Secret World" within her own mind whenever she could find time for it, but to no success at all. Seamus and Grace would become angry at their daughter for wasting all of her time 'daydreaming', instead of helping out on the farm like she was supposed to. Seamus would especially become enraged at Roisin as he was always a more uncaring and bitter parent.

Roisin hated her father Seamus, who was very cold towards his daughter. He always ordered Roisin around and never showed Roisin any parental affection either. He would also slap her around from time to time whenever she didn't do as he asked. Grace however was a much more loving parent and she would always try her best to make sure that Roisin was happy, to little success. Whenever Seamus would assault Roisin in front of her, Grace would do nothing, merely watching in fear before crying herself to sleep at night.

When Roisin was twelve years old, her grandfather Eoin passed away due to cancer and she was completely shattered. Roisin felt as though a part of her died along with Eoin, as her closest bond in the world was broken. She became a much darker individual after the ordeal, keeping to herself even more than before as she desperately tried to see her grandfather in "The Secret World", to connect with him and feel his warm embrace once more. But once again, no matter how hard she tried, she would always open her eyes to find herself still on the Byrne family farm.

Grace was also shattered by her father's death, and she quickly shut down into a shell of her former self, leaving most of the farm work to be left to Roisin and her abusive father. Grace would spend most her days sitting inside the house, staring blankly at the wallpaper as she daydreamed of the better times spent with her deceased father. This made it difficult for Seamus to get his 'rock's off', so he eventually took his abuse of Roisin to a higher level. He began to sexually abuse and molest his very own daughter, he didn't even try to keep it discreet around Grace, claiming that it was her fault that this was happening to Roisin.

The first incident occurred on a cold evening in December, when Roisin, aged twelve, was helping her father load some hay into their barn. Seamus called Roisin into the back of the barn to help him with something in the back of the barn, and when she followed him into the back room Seamus pounced on the unsuspecting girl. Roisin smacked her head hard on a near-by wooden panel as she fell, causing a concussion. She also fell onto a pitchfork, causing her left arm to be cut open.

Roisin screamed at the top of her lungs, unaware of her father's intentions but frightened and in pain due to her injuries. Seamus did his best to try and keep Roisin quiet. He tried smashing Roisin's head into the hard barn floor a few times in an effort to knock his daughter out, but this failed. He then removed his belt and wrapped it around Roisin's throat, despite her best efforts to fight him off. Seamus kept his daughter pinned to the floor as he choked her for a few moments. With her life fading and the most traumatic moment of Roisin's life about to occur, this is when it finally happened....

Roisin's mind entered "The Secret World", her eyes wide at the sight of the beautiful landscape that lay before her mind's eye, oblivious to what horrible things were happening to her and her body back in the real world. She was enraptured by her newly discovered mindscape and all of the creations within it as she blocked out all of the pain and suffering for that one moment. Seamus was unaware of his daughter's absent mindedness and took her lack of eye contact and non-responsiveness as simply her doing her best to block out the ordeal. When Seamus was finally finished with Roisin, he flipped his daughter onto her stomach, grabbed a near-by sickle, and carved his initials (S.B.) into her back, making sure that Roisin would never forget the ordeal. Roisin eventually snapped out of her mind's journey to find herself half-naked, bloodied, in pain and violated, lying in her own blood on the cold, hard barn floor....

This abuse eventually went on for years, with Roisin's mind escaping deep into "The Secret World" each time, though her body was still physically affected by the abuse, often leaving her covered in scars and bruises and sometimes forcing her to walk with a limp. Her mind wasn't left unaffected either, as even though "The Secret World" helped Roisin to block out the horrible things that were happening to her, the memories of these traumatic events still existed deep within Roisin's fading mind, gradually causing the young girl's grip on reality and her sanity to rip apart.

Seamus took no notice of any of Roisin's "Secret World" antics at all and her fading health and sanity did nothing to stop him from molesting his own daughter. Grace still did nothing to stop her husband, and simply watched as Roisin was violated over and over again, sometimes even in front of Grace as a way to punish her for what he deemed to be 'selfish behavior'. The years of abuse turned Roisin into a darker person, even when she isn't in "The Secret World", and her outlook on life became very grim and bleak, often finding the darkness and negatives in things. She even went through a self-harming stage when she was fifthteen.

Close to her seventeenth birthday, Roisin's mind delved even deeper into "The Secret World". So much so that she started to negatively effect the real world around her without even realizing it. She would break down fences and destroy farming equipment on occasion, believing herself to be accomplishing tasks in "The Secret World". Once again, Roisin's parents took no notice of this and carried on in their usual manner as well as berating and abusing Roisin for the damage that she had started afflicting upon their farm and their belongings. None of this fazed Roisin though, as she still did this quite frequently.

One fateful night, on the eve of Roisin's seventeenth birthday, she went for a stroll around the farmhouse. She had just been molested once again by her vile father and had gone outside for some fresh air and to find some comfort with the animals. While walking through the outside area she overheard her father yelling at her mother, so she decided to succumb to "The Secret World" as a way to put her mind in ease. As soon as she entered it though, she was quickly approached by a friendly native (a cow in the real world) and informed that a horrible darkness was overflowing the land and that Roisin was the only one who could stop it.

Roisin quickly set about running around the farm scavenging supplies for what Roisin's guide deemed to be a 'Light Bomb' that would explode into a firework like spark that would spread glorious light all across the land of "The Secret World", cleansing it of all of it's darkness and corruption. When she finally managed to obtain all of the required pieces, she set it up at a part of the land called the 'Black Hole', a dark, wooden structure that conjured the heart of the darkness within it. Roisin set everything into place, started it with a 'Light Wand', and watched as the sparks set off and engulfed the 'Black Hole' in flames.

As the sparks set off in front of Roisin, she started to feel an intense heat upon her skin, something that caused Roisin to lose her
concentration and come back to the real world. It was then that she saw that she wasn't actually bringing light to the 'Black Hole', but that she instead set fire to her family's home, with her parents still inside. Seamus and Grace's screams echoed out of the burning house, but Roisin did nothing to aid them. Instead she stood in front of the inferno and watched with wide eyes as the parents that she hated died right in front of her. For the first time in a long time, Roisin smiled. The clock struck midnight, and for the first moments of her seventeenth birthday, Roisin watched her parents burn to death by her own hand.

Apparently Roisin had done enough while in her "Secret World' phase to make the fire look like an accident, as the police investigation into the matter ruled it one. Roisin was never a suspect and was instead made out to be a innocent victim who retreated into her own little world as a way to cope with the tragic passing of her loving parents. Instead of being taken into the system and sent to an unknown family foster family, Roisin was sent to live with her aunt Abby and her family who lived in America. Abby was Grace's younger sister, and the two hadn't spoken in almost 20 years, meaning Roisin had never met her aunt. While things were a bit weird at first, Abby welcomed Roisin into her home with open arms and compelled her own family to treat Roisin like one of them.

Roisin has lived in the US for almost a year now, and while it took some adjusting, she has somewhat settled down in her new home country. Her accent, her weird personality and her often dark demeanor has made her stand out at school and she has found it hard to make friends, though this hasn't really bothered Roisin that much as she has found it difficult to trust people after all of the abuse she suffered at her father's hands. Roisin sees her current situation as being a transitional period. She is currently studying both Art and French at school, and she is hoping to one day move to France and to make a living there as an artist.

"somethings will never wash away...."


ACQUIRED SKILLS:

Roisin's "Secret World" and the pure escapism that it provides her are both a blessing and a curse. Roisin's ability to escape the trauma that plagues her allows her to 'heal' herself in her own special way. This helps her to hold on to her fading sanity for a while, and it also helps her to manipulate the traumatic memories of her past that could otherwise cripple her emotionally. Because of all this Roisin is something of a 'tough' person as she is able to keep her mind away from things that would most likely destroy her humanity after everything that she has been through. Roisin is a very creative individual, of course she would have to be in order to have created "The Secret World" and it's contents that lie within her mind's eye. She finds words to be useless and much prefers to express her creativity through drawings and paintings, something that she is very good at doing. While she isn't very strong when it comes to handing out pain, she has a very high tolerance for pain that is inflicted upon herself. Due to her constant walking she is quite fit and can be very fast on her feet. Unpredicatble.


RELATIONSHIPS:

(Hold off on the rest until I have selected the active characters).

"you, me and everything caught in the fire, I can see me drowning, caught in the fire...."


COLOUR:

Roisin's favourite colours are Green, Black, Red and Violet. Her love for the colour Green stems from the fact that Roisin was surrounded by nature and wildlife while growing up and she always found that the colour Green represented nature for her. Roisin loves to dress herself in Black as she feels as though it somewhat resembles what she feels inside of her, something that is dark and devoid of life. Ever since burning her parents to death Roisin has become almost obsessed with fire, starting small ones here and there when she can. Whenever she does she sits still and lets the fire burn within her eyes. Her love of the colour Red represents this. Roisin has always found Violet to be a beautiful colour, so much so that she managed to convince her aunt Abby to allow her to paint her room completely Violet. Roisin doesn't know where her love for the colour Violet comes from, as she is just naturally enraptured by it. Roisin's favourite colours to paint with are Black, Red and Violet. Her selected colour will be Green.


STRENGTHS:

Roisin's "Secret World" and the pure escapism that it provides her are both a blessing and a curse.

"and if you get too far inside you'll only see my reflection...."


WEAKNESSES:

"The Secret World" is something that also affects Roisin negatively. It stretches her mind apart, hindering her ability to tell what is real and what lies solely within her own mind. This hasn't become apparent to Roisin yet, as she keeps using it to escape reality and the harmful situations that lie within it, oblivious to the toll that it is taking on her fading sanity. Having used "The Secret World" for so long, Roisin has become somewhat reliant on it. She will use it at any given opportunity and it has caused a breakdown when it comes to creating relationships with other people, especially her new adoptive family. If Roisin gets into a fight, she cannot win it on brute strength alone, as while she can take a great ton of physical abuse, she isn't very good at dishing it back out on others. Roisin isn't very good in social situations, and when she is put on the spot, such as when a teacher forces her up to the front of the class to give an oral presentation, she can come across as quite awkward and nervous, much to a few of her classmates amusement. Roisin doesn't work well with others, and may let herself and those around her down if she is put into a situation where she has to work together with someone.


INTERESTS:

Radiohead. Roisin is a massive Radiohead fan, so much so that she rarely even listens to any other band or musician other than Radiohead. She can often be seen walking around town with a hood over her head and Radiohead playing into her ears courtesy of her treasured Radiohead filled MP3 player. Because of this, sometimes when Roisin's mind occupies "The Secret World" Radiohead will play over the landscape as the music is playing into Roisin's ears, taking her even further into her own little world. Roisin is a huge fan of art, and whenever she isn't at school and isn't in "The Secret World" she will be locked away up in her room, listening to Radiohead while painting a large amount of pictures that she hangs around her living space. Most of these images are that of "The Secret World", offering others a rare glimpse into the bizarre and dark world that resides within Roisin's fragile mind. Roisin loves to go on long walks to nowhere. Roisin has a random passion for Strawberries and she will snack on them whenever she can, often sitting in the cafeteria at school with a bag full of them that she eats from.

"I'm not living, I'm just killing time, your tiny hands, your crazy kitten smile, just don't leave, don't leave...."



FEARS:

Roisin's greatest fear is that somehow, someway and some day she will eventually lose her connection with "The Secret World". It has been the one thing that she has been able to rely on throughout most of her life and losing it would cripple the young girl emotionally as all of the horrible memories of her childhood would come flooding back into her mind without something to filter them or block them out for her own wellbeing. Ever since an incident that occurred on the Byrne family farm back when she was eight, Roisin has been deathly afraid of spiders. Just the sight of one alone is enough to cause her to freak out and lose her concentration. She knows it is impossible, but Roisin fears that one day her deceased father Seamus will return from the grave and inflict even more abuse and punishment upon her. The memory of Seamus's abuse and Grace's neglect still haunt Roisin's dreams, the one place where Roisin can't protect herself with "The Secret World". Roisin also fears that she will one day encounter someone who will abuse her just like her father used to, making her very cautious of opening up to people, especially her new foster family as she isn't quite sure whether or not she can trust them just yet.



EXTRA INFORMATION:

Roisin always keeps a razor blade hidden away inside of her shoe. She hasn't self-harmed for nearly two years now, but she feels as though the blade gives her a sense of security, so she has kept it with her just in case she finds herself in trouble at any time. Roisin is never seen without her MP3 player that is filled with songs by Radiohead, as well as her sketchbook, in case she wants to draw a portrait of something that she comes across throughout her day. Roisin keeps a picture of her grandfather Eoin with her as a baby in her wallet. Roisin loves to eat fruit and she is a sucker for apple juice. Roisin is usually seen wearing a hooded jumper that she can use to conceal her face, another thing that she does in an effort to keep to herself.

"this isn't happening, I'm not here...."


Zodiac Sign:

Roisin is a Taurus, having been born on the 5th of May. "Astrologers classify Taurus as a negative or passive (introvert) sign. This gives the characteristics of being reflective, receptive to the ideas of others: typically, a 'thinker' rather than a 'doer'. But being of the earth-triplicity, Taurus is considered by astrologers to be a highly practical sign which is happiest when involved in some kind of creative process. Although generally considered easy-going and placid, as a fixed sign Taureans are likened to the bull in being slow to show anger, but capable of raging if pushed too far. And they take time to eventually act on their anger and basically when they (Taureans) do, be rattled, because there's no telling what they'll unleash upon you. It is also said Taureans enjoy basic 'creative comforts' and don't allow others to disturb them easily, but they don't forgive and forget easily."


Religion:

Religion is something that has never played a part in Roisin's life, as neither she, her deceased parents, or her adoptive family have ever had any particular interest in the topic. Roisin's parents however didn't push their lack of faith onto Roisin and they let her be free to pursue her own beliefs. She soon decided that she had no care for religion and is something of an atheist or an agnostic. Roisin has no ill judgment towards those that do have a place for religion in their own lives though and she believes that everyone is free to believe whatever they want to. People who try to push their religion onto others annoy Roisin however. In fact, the closest thing that comes to being a religious belief for Roisin is "The Secret World", as it is one of the few things that she believes in.


Occupation:

Roisin is currently a full-time student as she is yet to acquire a job in the US. She is no rush to find one either as for the time being her aunt Abby and her family are more than happy to look after Roisin and to pay for her in an effort to help support what they deem to be a 'child broken by the tragic loss of her adoring parents'. Roisin knows that she will eventually have to set out and find a job for herself though if she ever wants to achieve anything in life. Roisin is hoping that she can someday become a full-time artist and spend all of her time painting while also getting paid for it. Her dream is to move to France in the future and take up a living as a renowned artist.

Tries to be as sweet as she can to people but unfortunately her kindness is often interpreted as 'being fake.' She's a virgin, something that she is proud of and ashamed of at the same time. She's proud of herself for not giving in and sleeping with random people and becoming pregnant at an early age. She's ashamed because well, not many guys have ever made a move or shown any interest in her whatsoever. She's very self conscious and sees every flaw there is to see regarding herself but is able to hide that easily. It's hard though, making others believe that she sees herself as beautiful when really, she doesn't.


HISTORY:
Victoria has had an average life for the most part, usually only complicated by the things that end up complicating most people's lives. At an early age, she became somewhat obsessed with art and literature and it became a lifelong goal to pursue a career in that field. A while ago, her father was diagnosed with cancer. Treatment failed to do much of a difference and he eventually chose to live out the rest of his days in his home. Victoria is terrified that she and her mother will come home to find him dead one day, and she knows that that is most likely inevitable.

ACQUIRED SKILLS:
Drawing, cooking, has learned to use a bow & arrow after losing the machete she had with her for a short while.

RELATIONSHIPS:
Preston's best friend. Doesn't get along with Chance, never has. (Will be completed when sign ups are finished)

COLOUR:
Purple.

STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES:
She's talented when it comes to drawing and is good at identifying with people's problems and working with them to solve them as long as they are caring and cooperative. She's not good at making peace with people who have done harm to her, a thing that has caused many conflicts in her life to become larger than they ever should have been.

INTERESTS/FEARS:
She loves nature and the outdoors, spending as much time around streams, rivers, trees, trails, and so on as she can. She finds peace in those surroundings easily and prefers that over the city, where she's often stuck in unfortunately. She likes romance novels and actually plans on writing a few when she's completely done with school. She babysits often, finding children more tolerable and less manipulative than many of her peers. It's another favorite pastime of hers, as odd as that may be, especially when the kids aren't brats and she's able to have time to work on school work or draw in her sketchpad while she's watching over them. She likes movies from the 50s-70s and is a diehard fan of Pam Grier and Marilyn Monroe, posters of both lining the walls of her bedroom.
As much as she adores nature, she can't stand bugs and spiders. Snakes don't bother her TOO much but they do sometimes make her uncomfortable. She's often weirded out when total strangers approach her and talk to her, especially if they try to get super personal right away. She can't stand people who are overly bitchy and rude to others, especially when they have no real reason to be that way. She likes the rain but is sometimes thrown into a minor panic when a small rainstorm turns into a thunderstorm, thanks to her fear of tornados.

EXTRA INFORMATION:
She hopes to have a family of her own at some point, though it's not really a priority of hers at the moment. She wants to have her drawings recognized and appreciated by people, even if it's just someone flipping through the pages of her sketchpads and commenting on her work. She would love a job working around animals or children, but doubts she would be a good teacher or a veterinarian. She may get around to writing a couple of romance novels and if she does, getting those published would be a dream come true for her. She has a tattoo of her grandmother's name on her ankle, along with a tattoo of a cardinal on her left arm. She has a scar across the back of her head, under her hair from when she cracked her head open in a car accident when she was a kid, and several other small scars from minor accidents caused by her clumsiness.

I'm really loving the characters guys <3

Although I do need more diversity when it comes to their ages. Everything else is great. (zombiethumbsup)

Closing on 12/12/12.

With or without more characters will decide whether this RPG will actually happen or not. It's in your hands now.
Actually nvm. Take your time if you want. Sign-ups will be left open indefinitely. I'm going to start writing now. I'mma do something different...

Whenever you want to jump in, just create a character. You may create however many you want, just don't expect immediate introductions.

I just don't want ANOTHER Rpg to die before even starting. Srsly. Done with that. So yeah. It's gon' be like that.
