Fairytale RP!
So Tovah had once made something like this, and I miss it, so I'm going to recreate it. I was thinking that you could either do a twist on a classic fairytale hero or heroine, or make your own. They go to a private high school to learn to fight aliens.
I'm going to go with the same character I had before.
Name: Gretel Rose
Appearence; Chin-length golden hair that curves in on one side and
curves out on the other. Dark, sapphire-blue eyes, slightly pink cheeks,
pale, small, at 5 ft. Commonly wears long sleeve camo shirt with denim
capris and lace up hunting boots. Or jeans, black t-shirt with Slay Your Own Dragons and a sword
on fire, black hunting boots. Oftenwears a cap. Whether navy blue or
camo.
Personality; Strong, quiet, observant, hard core, ready to fight. Loyal, open, and cheerful around her friends.
Story; So, this is a Hansel and Gretel in the modern world. Southern
girl! Her parents ditched her in the backwoods of Tennessee, in the
Great Smokey Mountains. A hunter thought she and her brother game and
accidentally shot him. (Explains what happens to Hansel.)
Power; She has a strong sense of direction, can see in the dark. Also can channel people's feelings well. Knows what they're feeling.
Weapon: Anything she can throw or shoot, except long spears. She can
throw knives, shoot a gun or bow. Whatever she can get her hands on.
So what do ya'll think? Good or bad idea?

Yay! My afternoon cleared up, so I got a break on the internet!!!
Gretel ~
I went to bed feeling really uneasy about today's mission. I wasn't sure how we'd done, and Alex hadn't seemed particularly pleased. Then again, she never did. But with Cindy, Meg, and Alice getting mixed up in it, I wasn't sure how she'd react.
***
"I said no," Alex said sternly, looking at Cindy and Meg the following morning. We were all lined up in the gym again, including Meg, the Mice, Cindy, and Alice.
"And I say yes!" Cindy snapped back. She looked at the rest of us to back her up. I gave a nod of encouragement, showing I agreed.
"And every time you throw us out, we'll just find a way to come back," Meg added, arms folded. Alex ground her jaw, looking like she was about let Meg and Cindy have it, when something changed in her expression. She got a mild smirk on her face that spoke a thousand words. Her eyes got a slightly more... cynical look to them.
"All right," she said smiling. "You can train."
Meg and Cindy grinned at each other.
"But," Alex said, lowering her voice, looking both directly in the eye. "One slip up, one fault, one thing that makes me doubt you, and you will never step so much as a toe in here again. Got it?"
Meg and Cindy looked at her solomnly, and nodded.
"Good," Alex said straightening, her voice returning to it's usual loud, sarcastic tone that we could all hear. "Now, let's get to training, shall we?"

*spins around swishing cape* Taday!

I'm probably way too late, but I'd like to join, if that's okay with you!
Name: Drizella
Age: 16
Appearance: She's Cinderella's ugly stepsister, so hold on to your hats! Long, stringy dark brown ringlets, small gray eyes, a mole above her lip, and her skin is sickly pale.
Personality: Horrible to everyone and anyone. Yeah. That's...pretty much it.
Story: You know Drizella and Anastasia, Cinderella's ugly stepsisters in the classic movie? Well, this is Drizella. Same old horrible, homely girl who is snotty to everyone because she's rich.

It's never too late to join, Lavender! I joined last week; my character's name is Alice. Before you start writing, I would recommend reading - or at least skimming - through all the previous posts on here so you know what's going on. Welcome! P.S. I love the story Cinderella, so I'll be sure to pay special attention to your character! :)
I've been waiting for others to write before continuing the story myself, but since noone's seeming to be writing, I'll go ahead and write tonight, or whenever I have a chance.

~Meg and the mice~
I woke up at five, headed to the showers, and went through my average moring routine. There was something I didn't do, however.
Execpt, said a gentle inner voice, you always touched your father's study door fondly, back at home.
I know, but that was a whole year ago. Before he died, I responded.
Meg, you still wear mouring black.
Please don't bother me, I said. I didn't need reminding. When I got back to the dorm, the boys had also washed and armed themselves properly for a day of training. Pip smiled.
"You look really pretty, Meg. I like your hair," he sqeaked.
"Oh, thank you, Pippie," I stroked my messy braid. With one deft scoop, the mice were in my cupped hands.
**************************************
"And every time you throw us out, we'll just find a way to come back." Even I was surprised at my boldness. I folded my arms for emphasis.
"All right", Alexandria affirmed,"you can train."
Cindy and I grinned.
"But," she stared us down,"one slip up, one fault, one thing that makes me doubt you, and you will never step so much as a toe in here again. Got it?"
We nodded.
"Good. Now, let's get to traning, shall we?"
Some of the others exchanged whispers. Alice, who was even more shy than I was, stood observing from a distance.
"Um, Miss Alex? What about her?" I pointed to Alice.
"Yes, her too. I said that in the hall yesterday," Alex said, irritated."We are going to be sharpening our powers today, class."
(March 6, 2014 - 11:13 am)
Alice~
I followed the others back into the dorm.
"Ummm, Gretle," I began nervously. "Did I get you in trouble last night? I mean with that mean girl -"
"Alex," Gretle cut me off. "Well, you did kinda -"
Meg nudged her. "Of course you didn't get her in trouble last night," she finished in a kind voice. "That's just Alex's usual personality. Never mind her."
That's the problem - I have to mind Alex, despite her cold demeanor. I threw my shoulders back.
"Well," I said. "When are we going to do our next test?"
"Alex didn't say when our next test would be," Gretle said.
"But right now we have training to do," Meg said.
We all hurried into the training room.
Alex met us in the door.
"For today's class," she said, "we will see how well we can avoid flying objects. Especially you." She looked at me, Meg, and the mice. I felt myself blushing.
While we newbies stood off to the side, the more experienced girls went through the routine. Each of them passed.
I glanceed nervously at Meg. "I'm not sure if I can do this," I whispered hoarsly.
Alex heard me. I swear she has alien-hearing. "If you do not want to train, Alice," she said with a sneer. "You can go back to where you came from. You come here, you come to do this."
"N-n-no, Miss Alex," I stammered. "I'll be fine."
"Good." She turned to Meg. "Your turn."
Meg stepped forward. At the same time, Alex reached and punched her in the stomach.
"Oof," Meg grunted.
"Still want to do this, Miss Meg?" Alex asked in a most sarcastic voice.
Meg nodded.
Just then, Alex reached out to punch her again. This time, Meg was quick enough, and managed to jump out of the way.
Alex gave a short nod. "Good," she said shortly. "You learn quickly." She turned to the mice. "Your turn."
All three mice stepped forward. At the same time, Alex bent over and made a sweeping movement with her arm, knocking the mice down.
Meg cried out. "That's not fair!"
"That is too fair!" Alex retorted. "This is training, kid. And they need to learn."
Over and over again she made a sweeping movement with her hand. Finally they jumped over it.
Meg jumped up and down for joy.
I stepped forward. After getting punched several times, I too finally got the hang of the routine, and passed it.
"After a short break, we'll continue our training," said Alex.
(March 7, 2014 - 11:32 pm)
Gah, sorry, been busy!
Gretel ~
"After a short break, we'll continue our training," Alex said, striding out of the room.
"Finally!" I gasped, throwing myself backwards onto the training mat, splaying my arms and legs out like I was about to make a snow angel. The others sat down as well.
"This is agony," Cindy said where she too lay on the ground.
"You're telling me," I snorted, pulling my camo cap over my eyes.
"Does it seem a bit odd to anyone else she just left?" Elle asked.
"Yes, it does," Ash said. "I've been thinking about that myself. He glanced around slightly.
"Maybe it's another test," Meg suggested.
I sat up. "Well, if we're going to be tested, let's be prepared." I jumped up.
"Think fast!" I shouted at Jasmine, grabbing a ball, and hurling it at her. She ducked out of the way.
"What's the big..."
"Cindy!"I shouted before Jasmine could finish her question, and threw a ball toward her. Cindy too, dodged. I picked up more balls, and started hurling them in random directions. Everyone immediately jumped in on the idea, and before we totally knew it, we had the most lethal and deadly accurate game of dodge ball ever to be played. Ever. I was quite sure we would be covered in more welts and bruises than if we'd let someone go loose with a paint ball gun on us.
Through this game, we utilized every available thing around us. The whole gym was put to use as cover of vantage points, forcing us to bend our bodies in ways we hadn't thought possible. Finally, we all collapsed to the floor in a cross of panting and laughing.
"Hey," I said to Cindy, Meg, and Alice when I'd finally caught my breath. "Not to shabby for newbies."
Suddenly slow, deliberate clapping echoed through the room. Alex strode to us, smirking slightly.
"Excellent," she said, standing over us. "Excellent." She suddenly threw a punch toward Alice. Instead of getting hit, she dodged. Alex then threw one toward Cindy and Meg. They both dodged, grabbed her wrists, and shoved her away. Alex looked at us for a long moment.
"Perfect," was all she said, then she turned, and left the room.

What should we have for a big mission? Like, fight aliens, or deal with some evil, organization, or what? I'M OPEN TO WILD IDEAS!
(March 9, 2014 - 9:00 pm)
We could fight aliens! That would be soooooo fun!
(March 9, 2014 - 10:21 pm)
I thought that'd be kind of fun too! Maybe a sort of Ender's Game type thing. What does everyone else think?
(March 10, 2014 - 5:59 pm)
I've never read Ender's Game, but I searched it and (I hate to be mean) it didn't sound like what I thought this RP would become. I was wondering if Gretel's parents could lead the aliens?
(March 11, 2014 - 5:47 pm)
Yeah, not quite what the RP would probably be. I thought of Ender's Game cause of the school training, like Battle School, and how a special group of kids was chosen to fight the Buggers.
Gretel's parents? Hmm, I'd never thought of that. That's actually a really unique idea! A chance to fight and blast out her parents... What fun! *maniacal giggles*
Sssooo, peoples... We have formed our group. Next question... what kind of aliens shall it be? Like, space aliens, mutant creatures, or... what? Where shall we fight them, how shall we fight them? Maybe mission type things, with the school as our base and cover? Like spies type thing! I dunno.
SUGGESTIONS!!! I want this to be fun, not just traditional. THROW THINGS OUT THERE!
