I was in the last one too, but I'll post my sheet again:

 

USERNAME: Joan B. of Arc

APPROXIMATE AGE: 17 1/2. (But I'm 5', so you can make me a little younger if you want, like 14 or 15.)

CB APPEARANCE: (So, I have a "fall/winter" appearance and "summer/spring" appearance, so this is my summer/spring appearance:)

Short wavy brown hair that goes to my shoulders with blond streaks and is very messy which is often pulled into a ponytail, brown breeches with brown boots, DARK blue/grey eyes with gold flecks, but often when I'm thoughtful my eyes turn to a light brown, or a lighter blue, white shirt, maroon scarf/hankerchief around my neck, brown leather jacket with short sleeve. Smallish scar on my left cheek. Has a belt that goes across my chest over my leather jacket to carry my weapons. 

PERSONALITY: Loyal/trustworthy, quick temper, not really patient. Likes to laugh often, but is very self conscious of myself. 

WEAPONRY/OFFENSIVE MAGIC/GADGETS: 2 daggers, 1 in each boot, a sword at my side. Recently added a bow and arrow to my weapons-so I now carry a bow and arrow on my back.

DEFENSE TECH/MAGIC/ARMOR: I wear a ring that can turn into a shield if needed. I have no helmet, but my leather jacket can turn into armor if absolutely needed.

MISC POWERS: Has a great knowledge of herbs and healing, if weapons get to heavy to carry, has the power to shrink them down to the size needed. Carries some of my AEs itching powder smoke bombs in my pockets. 

PERCENTILE CHANCE OF A DRAMATIC ENTRANCE: 45%

PERCENTILE CHANCE OF DOING SOMETHING DUMB BUT ALSO GREAT: 40%

OTHER: I'm very anxious, and have degrading thoughts about myself often, so I have to put on a brave face and get through them through the day. I've learned to shove the anxiety thoughts away until finally they become to big to ignore. 

When it comes to thinking fast, and making choices quickly, you can count on me to do so. I will protect my friends to the death if needed. 

Uses the knowledge of battle strategies read from books quite often. Can run really fast.

I’m back again!  I keep thinking of things to add once I hit the submit button.  Could someone tell me what “Misc powers” means?

submitted by Peregrine, age Many moons, The Aerie
(June 3, 2020 - 10:25 am)

It means miscellaneous powers; in this case powers that aren't protection or weapons.

Luminesence, you can choose to have your AEs and CAPTCHA all be side characters.  Or pick two to be main characters and one to be a side character.

Thanks for answering my question, Luminescence!

I’ll wait a couple days to see if anyone else wants to join.  Then I will officially close the main characters spots.  Give me a few more days to write and type the first installment, then we should be started!

(June 7, 2020 - 12:55 pm)

Here are my AEs and CAPTCHA. Feel free to either choose two to use as main charries or use them all as side charries. Your choice.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

USERNAME: Midnight*. 

*Formerly Shadow, but then, because several other people’s AEs are named Shadow or Shadow variants, it got changed. Also, Midnight is just a better name for him. 

GENDER/PRONOUNS: Male. He/Him/His

APPROXIMATE AGE: 11

Um he’s an AE…

Shh. 

CB APPEARANCE: A hippocampus.

(half horse, half fish.)

Luminescence! If they don’t know what a hippocampus is, I see no reason to enlighten them.

MANNERS, SHADOW!!!

Anyways. I’m a blue roan (front horse half), and midnight blue. (back fish half)

PERSONALITY: I’m told I’m pessimistic, but I don’t think so. I don’t even know why we're fighting. The CB is already lost. 

Ahem. See what I mean? Pessimist.

I am energetic, I guess, and I can be bossy. (or so says Luminescence.) 

It’s true!! 

Ha. I also don’t lie. Most of the time.

WEAPONRY/OFFENSIVE MAGIC/GADGETS: My hooves are all I need… hehehehe. Just kidding. I have the ability to send shadows at people (which blinds them) and I can also manipulate large bodies of water to go where I want it too, but only if it’s nearby.

DEFENSE TECH/MAGIC/ARMOR: Ha, I don’t need armor. 

*Luminescence raises eyebrow at this statement*

Fine. If you must know, I use a protective gadget in the form of a band around my front left hoof.

MISC POWERS: Well, I am a hippocampus, so I can breathe underwater. Unfortunately, I can also only breathe underwater, unless I use a breathing gadget. On land, I just look like a blue roan. Then people mistake me for a horse. SO annoying.

That's 'cause it makes you look like one!!!

Whatever. 

PERCENTILE CHANCE OF A DRAMATIC ENTRANCE: Uh, 90-100%. I enjoy dramatic entrances.

PERCENTILE CHANCE OF DOING SOMETHING DUMB BUT ALSO GREAT: 80-90%. I have flawed common sense, but not that flawed.

OTHER: I have a *really* annoying younger sister named Blaze.

I’m not that annoying, Midnight. 

You totally are.

Hey!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

USERNAME: My name is Blaze. I’m one of Luminescence’s AEs

GENDER/PRONOUNS: Female. She/Her/Hers

APPROXIMATE AGE: 11, although again, I am an AE

CB APPEARANCE: A hippocampus. In other words, my front half is a horse, my back half is a fish. My horse half is white, which is technically called grey. My fish half is pink-yellow-orange, sunset colored, I guess.

PERSONALITY: I’m ever the optimist-

Honestly- you could tell her something terrible, and she’d find something good about it.

I’m usually very calm. I try not to boss people around, but sometimes it can’t be helped. I try to be honest. 

WEAPONRY/OFFENSIVE MAGIC/GADGETS: People can’t hide from me- I can see everyone’s hiding place. I can also change water into different forms: steam/water/ice.

DEFENSE TECH/MAGIC/ARMOR: Same as my brother, except I’m not going to pretend I don’t need it. Also, it’s on my right instead of my left. Hoof, I mean.

MISC POWERS: Breathing underwater. The downside is that as a result I can’t breathe above water without a gadget. Also, I don’t know if this is normal for hippocampi, but when I’m on land I turn into a pretty much normal horse.

PERCENTILE CHANCE OF A DRAMATIC ENTRANCE: 70%. I don’t think I EVER have dramatic entrances, but Luminescence says it happens all the time.

PERCENTILE CHANCE OF DOING SOMETHING DUMB BUT ALSO GREAT: 50%. My common sense is fine, but if something needs to be done, I’ll do it.

OTHER: I have an older brother- though only by a couple days-  named Midnight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

USERNAME: I’m a CAPTCHA. My name is Kiwi

APPROXIMATE AGE: 11, in human years (I’m a sugar glider)

CB APPEARANCE: Like a regular sugar glider, I guess?

PERSONALITY: I’m kind of particular about who I hang out with. I HATE it when people think I’m a flying squirrel. I love the color green, especially kelly green, and my favorite fruit is kiwi, but you probably already guessed that.

WEAPONRY/OFFENSIVE MAGIC/GADGETS: My specialty is dropping things from midair. One actual POWER I have is I can borrow other people’s powers for short periods of time. (with their permission of course)

DEFENSE TECH/MAGIC/ARMOR: Well, it’s kind of hard to hit me either way, because I’m fast and small, but in case of emergencies, whenever I’m supposed to be fighting I wear a thin green ribbon around my neck (loosely, obviously, I’m not trying to strangle myself) which somehow protects my entire body? I’m not entirely sure how it works. *Looks at Luminesce questioningly*

I’m not sure either, so don’t ask me.

MISC POWERS: As a sugar glider, I can “fly” up to 55 ft. This isn’t really a power though.

PERCENTILE CHANCE OF A DRAMATIC ENTRANCE: Um, does gliding count as dramatic entrance?

 I think so… 

Then I have a 85% chance.

PERCENTILE CHANCE OF DOING SOMETHING DUMB BUT ALSO GREAT: Depends on what the thing is, obviously. But maybe 60%?

OTHER: I’ve never met another sugar glider before… unfortunately. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

@Admins, sorry for the length, I probably should have split this up into several posts. I still can if you need me too.

May I reserve a spot?  Provide that is they haven't all been filled yet.

Yes, you may!  Please post it soon please.

( Have you read the Swallows and Amazons series by Arthur Ransome?  Just curious because I saw you’re from England and the author was English ).

Thanks, very much! I'll post my character forum as soon as possible. Though, what with school work, it will doubtless be submitted on the weekend.

 

As for your question: I have not, as of yet, read Swallows & Amazons though I've been told it's a good series. My sister Pied Piper always tried to emulate the characters within childhood games, given the absence of a boat this was difficult. While, regrettably, England is just a place holder for my actual location. Just as John F.Q is a nome de plume. Both however suit my character given that I enjoy British entertainment. Though I haven't listened to enough Sherlock Holmes to count as a classical fan, yet.

 

May I surmise that Peregrine is a reference to Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children?

 

(Yet another book I have had the pleasure of hearing about but not, yet, reading.)

Appologies there should be a space between asfor, alwaystried, isjust,theabscence, enjoyBritish, SherlockHolms, MayI,ForPeculaliar, & Yetanother.  Anway, this mistake bugged me slightly, so I  though I'd mentioned it.

I think I just added all the spaces.

My family bought two small sailing dinghys.  Mostly because I went through this obsessive Swallows and Amazons phase.  I still love the books and they are still my favorites,  but I passed through the obsessive phase.  Both need new paint so we haven't gone sailing in a while, though I hope we can find time to repaint them soon.

England is an amazing place.  I hope to visit it someday.

I actually named myself after the Peregrine Falcon.  Like you I have never read Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.  Though I have heard of it.
