Chatterbox: Inkwell

K.N.I.G.H.T.S. Solo Write

KNIGHTS stands for Knowledgeable Nines In Graceful, Hazardous Tutelage Studies (if you don't know what tutelage is look it up). Hardly anyone knows about the KNIGHTS and their very training center is hidden away in the mountains and disguised as a girl's finishing school. The girls themselves train in groups of nine, traveling from class to class to learn about combat, agility, strength, loyalty, and disguise. I, Madame Charlotte, am the principal of the KNIGHTS Academy as well as a graduated KNIGHT at the top of my classes. I am the one who scouts out the girls and send their parents a letter like this:

To the parents of Miss (girl's first and last name here),

It has come to my attention that your daughter is doing quite well in her current curriculum. I would be glad to invite her to Knight's Academy, a place to finish girls and make them proud of being a lady. If you choose to send your daughter to Knight's Academy please send an acceptance letter to enroll your daughter and pack our daughter away to the address on this envelope in the coming fall. I have enclosed a list of things to pack as well as a personal note for your daughter. We hope you accept and that your daughter will soon join us here.

Sincerely,

Madame Charlotte

Madame Charlotte, principal of Knight's Academy

I will not reveal to you the note I give to each young lady, but I will include a form:

NAME: 
AGE (12-15): 
APPEARANCE: 
PERSONALITY (TRY NOT TO HAVE MARY SUE CHARACTERS): 
WEAPON OF CHOICE: 
STRENGTHS: 
WEAKNESSES: 
BACKSTORY (I REQUIRE AS ELABORATE AS POSSIBLE): 
MC, SECONDARY, TERTIARY, OR BACKGROUND? (FIRST AND SECOND CHOICE):

Other Notes:

I will be accepting a minimum of 9 characters but if you come in after nine you might be in one of the older training groups. No reservations.

Regarding the character levels,

MC stands for Main Character. The sections will be in third person, but mainly focusing on you. I will accept two of these.

Secondary is the next level down. You are likely good friends with the MCs and stand by their side. You will show up many times. I will accept four of these.

Tertiary not quite the last level, as I said if you come in after nine you will be in an older group. But Tertiaries are often the ones who comfort the MCs, are shifty and mysterious, or a person who is nice but the MCs might be jealous of you. Each Tertiary will have a small yet important role. I will accept three of these.

Background characters are either the people in the older groups, or the instructors. Please ask if you want to be a Madame, and if you are you will either instruct in combat, agility, strength, or disguise.

Sorry for any boys out there! If you want you can make a boy's training center.

There is a minimum of one character per person. 

Also, if you have read this entire thing, congradulations, and please incluse something about rain somewhere in your character sheet. 

And with that I will sign off.

I wish to join this!!!

NAME: Allyssa Julette

AGE (12-15): 13

APPEARANCE: Long brown hair, amber eyes, tall, lanky, athletic, always wears dirty neon-green converse

PERSONALITY (TRY NOT TO HAVE MARY SUE CHARACTERS): bold, rebellious, outgoing, can sometimes be overly optimistic, all-over-the-place, short-tempered

WEAPON OF CHOICE: hand-to-hand combat (if that's not okay, then dagger)

STRENGTHS: hand-to-hand combat, leading, optimism (that last one is a joke unless you want it to be real)

WEAKNESSES: focusing, takes nothing seriously, seems to not know that there is a time and place for everything

BACKSTORY (I REQUIRE AS ELABORATE AS POSSIBLE):Her parents were the CEOs of a clothing company.  She was always rebellious throughout her school life, being the class clown and the rowdy kid at the same time.  She had become known for getting into fights with bullies at the school to keep their attention off of other kids.  This usually got her in a lot of trouble, which made her parents really angry, since they ran a company together and expected her to carry on being the CEO as an adult.  But she always managed to keep her grades up, which made them a little happier.  They decided to send her to the school to ensure that she wouldn't be rowdy and obnoxious as an adult.

MC, SECONDARY, TERTIARY, OR BACKGROUND? (FIRST AND SECOND CHOICE: 1)MC, 2)Tertiary

Name: Holly Chase

Age: 12

Apperance: Short, curly black hair, freckles across nose, purple glasses

Personality: quiet and shy, if you know her she's loud and talkative. Good luck trying to get anything in between!

Weapon of choice: She's good with any small weapon, but she perfers the blow gun!

Strengths: she's calm and leval headed on the field. She swift and silent. Not to mention a master of disguise. She's an ace with long range weapons (bow, blow gun, throwing stars, ect...)

Weakness: She's not a good fighter. Give her a sword, she'll most likely cut her toe off. Also, she is cocky (most people don't know, she's not cocky like that) but if she looses a test or dosen't complete a misson she will have a serious blow. It probly won't show, but she won't be nearly as efective on the field. Also, her math is terrible, she can't do math. She's not a good friend maker, but she'll be a good friend if she ever does make one.

Backstory: She always was that wierd girl. You know, the one who hangs out in the back of the class eats alone at lunch. And strangly enough when you try and talk to her she's not there. It's just a red headed kid at the table she normaly sits at, or a  straight headed, slouching kid without glasses. But what people don't know is that they're all her... they just can't tell. She's determeaed not to hide when someone wants to make friends at this new school. She's going to do better! 

MC, SECONDARY, TERTAIRY, or BACKGROUND: 1. MC 2. Secondary

NAME: Roberta Ellen Schafer
AGE (12-15): 13 1/2
APPEARANCE: Dark hair, about mid-back length, a little over average height and blue eyes. Usually wears dark colored clothing, (particularily dark green and black), jeans, and prefers either hiking boots or dark blue converse high-tops. 
PERSONALITY (TRY NOT TO HAVE MARY SUE CHARACTERS): Smart and funny, but also a bit too quick to anger. Brave. Sometimes she blurts out stuff that she's thinking or phrases things wrong which makes things awkard. She hates waiting, and is a bit of a tomboy.
WEAPON OF CHOICE: Dagger or Sword
STRENGTHS: Climbing, fencing, and math.
WEAKNESSES: Clumsiness, spear-throwing, waiting, anger and  getting in  trouble.
BACKSTORY (I REQUIRE AS ELABORATE AS POSSIBLE):  Her parents are divoced, and she and her sister spend time with both of them. Roberta is definetely not happy about the divorce. Her sister doesn't help, because she gets more attention since she's the perfect 'Mary Sue' sister. (Smart, beautiful, outgoing, generous, you get the idea.) Her sister rubs it in, and because of this, Roberta does her best to get back at her by messing with her stuff or pulling pranks. Which usually ends up with Roberta getting in trouble.
MC, SECONDARY, TERTIARY, OR BACKGROUND? (FIRST AND SECOND CHOICE): 1. Secondary, 2. Tertiary

NAME: Cecilia Whittemore

AGE (12-15): 14

APPEARANCE: Short and small, but carries herself as if she were at least a foot taller than those around her. She has a waist-length blond braid and deep blue eyes. Wears a black sweatshirt and denim jeans, which are ripped, but more because of wear than fashion.

PERSONALITY (TRY NOT TO HAVE MARY SUE CHARACTERS): Very spunky, a daredevil who's quick to attempt anything, but also has a very easy temper and tends to hold grudges. Very loud, talkative, rambunctious and hyper. Sweet and loyal to the few friends she has. One of those people who act like, If-you-dare-do-that-I-will-seriously-kill-you. She is a bit insecure and tries her best not to show it. Basicallly, an introvert trying to be an extrovert.

WEAPON OF CHOICE: Bow

STRENGTHS: Fast and agile, fairly good fighter, good survival skills, loyal to her friends, eager to please.

WEAKNESSES: Quick to anger, not very friendly(except to a few select people), can't see very well, extremely terrified of small spaces.

BACKSTORY (I REQUIRE AS ELABORATE AS POSSIBLE): Her father died before she was born, and her mother died giving birth to her. She was sent to live in an orphanage, which she escaped from at the age of seven with her only friend, a girl named Marie. Sadly, Marie died of illness after living on the street for three years, and a depressed Cecilia slunk back to the orphanage. She was then adopted by a strict elderly woman who soon tired of her rebellious ways and sent her back to the orphanage, where Cecilia acted even more rebellious. The orphanage manager then sent her to the KNIGHTS school, so she could become less rambunctious(and possibly just to get rid of her).

MC, SECONDARY, TERTIARY, OR BACKGROUND? (FIRST AND SECOND CHOICE): 1)MC 2)Secondary

(July 4, 2017 - 9:09 am)

Name: Alexandria Neige

Age: 12

Appearance: Loosely curly red hair always pulled back in a French braid or the sides are pulled back. Light freckles, pale skin, and an agile and athletic body. A small mouth, nose, a bit bigger ears, and big turquoise grey eyes. Her expression is always a straight face, with no emotion. 

Personality: Doesn't have any emotion. If she were to kill someone, she wouldn't care. She's very fast and agile in everything she does, and she is can perform at a high skill in everything. Her biggest weakness would have to be the fact that she doesn't care. She doesn't really comprehend human emotion or reactions well, so if she were to hurt or correct someone, she wouldn't be able to tell if they were hurt. It is also beneficial, because people call her a psychopath, a sociopath, and many other things, and she doesn't let her emotion show.  

Weapon of choice: 1) Bow and arrow 2) throwing knives (she has good aim.)

Stregths: Intelligence, combat

Weaknesses: Human understanding, compassion, and empathy

Backstory: Her mother died a few months after she was born, so she never had another female figure in her life. Instead, she grew up with her father (who never remarried) and her three older brothers. She grew up only learning that after she tried to act like a sweet kid she would be rejected by her brothers and bullied by being locked in closets and kicked and locked out in the pouring rain. When she went to her father, nothing happened, because of the grief that clouded his senses from the day her mother died. From the age 5, she's learned to take care of herself. She had three meals a day, but otherwise she had to tell her dad herself about the things they needed, and by the time she was 8, she was actually helping her 16 year old brother with dinner. One day her father was charged with child neglect, so her siblings were all separated. They tried to force the kids to have therapy, and the sons did, but Alexandria didn't need it, because she was already used to it. She went to live with her aunt and uncle in London, the place where she was born and lived before her mother died. From that point, her aunt and uncle gave her a regular life and treated her as their own, but she never acted like the girl she was again. 

MC, etc.: MC, but Secondary is fine. 

Other notes: None
