NAME: Charlie W.

SPECIES: Human (Homo sapiens)

JOB/TITLE: Sprocketville, Southwest Kyngdom

APPEARANCE: Tall for his age (13), average build, curly dark brown hair always needs a haircut (except right after he gets one)

PERSONALITY: Never the first to speak up, but always the first to notice something

HOME: His parents' house, which his mom likes to say has the most natural light of any underground bunker in Sprocketville, thanks to its many skylights

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: The machinist wing of the Cypher Labs dormitory, where he lives on a hall with the other gear-nerds. Needless to say it's not the cleanest wing in the building.

FRIEND OR MENTOR: Dr. Sheepshank was the first adult he felt really took him seriously.

ENEMY OR RIVAL: Marcus R., the best machinist at Cypher--and a full year younger than Charlie.

FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: His titanium sprocket wrench set, a 13th birthday gift from Dr. Sheepshank.

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: Er, did you try hitting it with a hammer?

STRENGTHS: Inventiveness--at age 8, he built a working dishwasher from scratch.

WEAKNESSES: Confidence--he has trouble standing up for himself sometimes.

BACKGROUND: Charlie grew up in Sprocketville, a small bunker town in Southwest Kyngdom. He was lonely there, since there weren't many other kids around--but that gave him plenty of time to tinker with the smashed-up machines that lined all the roads in town. After he built an entirely new set of household appliances from scratch, word spread across Kyngdom. Eventually, Dr. Sheepshank recruited him to be part of the Cypher Labs team. His parents were sad to see him go, but he didn't think twice: this was his big break.

NAME: Blart Blartrid 

AGE: 60ish
PRONOUNS: He/him
SPECIES: Human (Homo Sapiens)
JOB/TITLE: Scientist/anthropologist at SOCKS (Not to be confused with SOCS, more about SOCKS in the OTHER category). Formerly worked for BIG.
APPEARANCE: He’s average height, with graying brown shoulder-length hair, and wrinkled pale white skin. His eyes are a vibrant blue, and he has a long scar over his right eye. He walks with a bit of a limp. He has a splendiferous handlebar mustache and a stubbly beard—normally I think mustaches are gross, as they’re really just extra-hairy mouth eyebrows, but this character is just begging to be mustachioed.
PERSONALITY: He takes pride in being a persnickety, grumpy, ornery old man, mostly just for the fun of it. He uses his appearance to his advantage—you think the old man isn’t a threat until he pulls a hidden phase gun out of who knows where and evaporates you. He seems unassuming and boring, but he knows more than he lets on, and he’s got a finger in every pie. He’s also a little bit full of himself—you’ll see files “written” by him show up in Myths + Legends pretty soon, and he can’t help mentioning himself in every one.
HOME: A town house in the city of Mer, squished between a bookstore and another house on a big city block.
MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: Resistance HQ, the Bog + Burrow. Although he has a way of somehow traveling around Kyngdom very quickly and always shows up in places you expect him not to be.
FRIEND OR MENTOR: He doesn’t really have any relationships with any other current Kyngdom characters or NPCs yet. He’s open to them, though—if anybody wants to RP with him, let me know.
ENEMY OR RIVAL: SOCS and Catastrophe
FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: His mustache.
MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: When life gives you lemons, freeze them solid and build a trebuchet to launch them at random passerby from your rooftop (he may or may not actually have a trebuchet and a freezer full of lemons on his roof).
STRENGTHS: He’s smart, surprisingly strong, and has a fierce sense of right and wrong.
WEAKNESSES: He’s grumpy and not very good at being humble.
BACKGROUND: He worked at BIG, starting in its very early days—before it got involved with the Powers and FAFA and was just a random science firm startup. He mostly led expeditions to explore the far reaches of Kyngdom and catalog the various flora and fauna he found. He worked for BIG for about a dozen years before it started to go bad, doing unethical tests on animals and the like, and eventually absorbed the remnants of SOCS, and he left soon after that out of disgust for the things it was doing. He ended up finding his way to the resistance, where he started SOCKS—Society of Compassionate Kyngdom Scientists—an organization of scientists allied with the Resistance.
OTHER: He founded an organization called SOCKS, or Society of Compassionate Kyngdom Scientists, an organization of scientists doing research for the Resistance. Positions at SOCKS are open—anybody is welcome to make a SOCKS scientist charrie.

NAME: Adine Silry Rilnar

SPECIES: Human, homo sapiens

JOB/TITLE: Currently enrolled in the BCA, no title

APPEARANCE: Smooth, straight chestnut hair, brown eyes with flecks of gold, small (slightly built)

PERSONALITY: Slightly bossy, intelligent, easily interested in anything, friendly; her character will probably go getting a bit more complex as I RP her

HOME: The BCAftV. Her family lives in a city near East Whetston, in a fairly large house since they're well-off but not rich, and she lived here with them before she became a Valiant. She still loves it because of the memories she has of it.

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: somewhere in the BCA, usually in her best friends' rooms or in her own, or outside having fun

FRIEND OR MENTOR: Maybe her aunt, who she used to know very well before she went to the BCA; they had similar personalities and were very close. They still see each other sometimes.

ENEMY OR RIVAL: Anyone who is unkind to others. At the moment she doesn't have one particular enemy, unless maybe it's one of the other students in the BCA.

FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: Her notebook where she jots down her thoughts and ideas, which her parents gave her as a gift just before she became a Valiant. In general, though, she doesn't become very attached to things; she likes ideas and people better.

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: "The storm will come, so enjoy the sunshine."

STRENGTHS: She's good at running, decision-making, having ideas, archery, and being a good friend if she's given the chance.

WEAKNESSES: She's a bit reckless, and has a dislike for failing at something that can lead to difficulties. She doesn't always stop to think things out, but plunges straight into them.

BACKGROUND: As I mentioned, Aldine comes from a middle-class family and had a fairly peaceful upbringing, going to school, having friends, and never really questioning Catastrophe's rule; her parents have always been content to let power belong to whoever can get it, but keep themselves out of any politics or turmoil going. She has one older brother. Her parents decided to send her to the BCA when she was fourteen, as in a year ago at present, since they think that she'll be safest and happiest there.

 

NAME: Relven Sirion

SPECIES: Human

JOB/TITLE: A Valiant, enrolled at the BCA

APPEARANCE: Teasing hazel eyes, curly, unruly hair somewhere between brown and black, strong chin, generally good-looking (does he know it?), likes to wear hoodies and jeans

PERSONALITY: Brilliant, talented, a "golden boy", comes from a fairly rich family, a steadfast friend to the people he likes, cocky, warm

HOME: The BCA, but on holidays he goes to his family's house in a rich southern Kyngdom city; he grew up in another place, but his parents have moved since he went to BCA.

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: The BCA, since he lives there. He likes to hang around the amphitheater and the rooms where the students generally gather.

FRIEND OR MENTOR: He's friends with Colin Windward, but has a group of other friends as well; his mentor has always been one of the teachers who was at the BCA when he arrived, but by now has retired.

ENEMY OR RIVAL: I have a feeling he'd have one of these, but I'm not sure who it is yet... Like Adine, anyone who's unkind or domineering.

FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: A bow that his mentor gave him; it's an old one, of hazel wood inlaid with patterns in silver and topaz. He hardly ever uses it.

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: "Let tomorrow belong to tomorrow."

STRENGTHS: He's good at most things he sets his mind to; he has fairly good combat skills, and excels at languages, archery, and some sports, as well as at flirting, having fun, being popular, and knowing whe people need help. He's also excellent at getting matriarchs and old women to like him; and, of course, his warm personality is always helpful.

WEAKNESSES: Oddly, he's a bit too quick to trust, and he also has a tendency to think that he's in charge or on top. Inwardly, he always wants to have fun, which can lead to trouble.

BACKGROUND: His family are avid Catastrophe supporters, and his older cousin went to the BCA before him, so it was the obvious choice to send him there too as soon as he was old enough. He's an only child, and he's never been very close to his parents; his early childhood was spent with his friends or on his own.

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: BCA (he lives there after all). He enjoys the amphitheater and the general outdoors, but can also regularly be seen at the library and in his dorm.

ENEMY OR RIVAL: I don't think he has any at the moment.
FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: his violin
MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: "Okay, but I need to practice violin first."
STRENGTHS: smart and good at the academic stuff. Skilled violinist. 
WEAKNESSES: not particularly good at combat. 
BACKGROUND: he wants to do science for BIG someday, so he's going to BCAftV and has been since he was eleven. His mother lives in a village some distance away from BCA; he only sees her on holidays but writes her letters from time to time

Is there a thread for the Sociey of Compassionate Kyngdom Scientists or anyone else who has joined SOCKS, or is it the Resistance group thread? I'd like to make a geneticist charrie who works there.

(April 15, 2024 - 12:23 am)

NAME: Stella Willowsong, she/her, 16
SPECIES: half-human, half-Piper (a Piper is a magical being who are skilled in magic, especially in musical magic, and their music is far more beautiful and powerful than any that humans can make)
JOB/TITLE: none
APPEARANCE: bright golden hair, sage green eyes, vivid coloring
PERSONALITY: sunny, generous, optimistic, passionate, talented, friendly, generally likable
HOME: a small farm in the most beautiful part of Southeast Kyngdom
MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: travels from place to place, but she's more partial to Southeast Kyngdom because it's her home
FRIEND OR MENTOR: her brother Neirad
ENEMY OR RIVAL: none for now
FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: a thin gold chain bracelet
MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: "The world is only beautiful when you realize it. And it is especially beautiful when full of music."
STRENGTHS: singing, reading, writing, designing, making friends
WEAKNESSES: impulsiveness, easily trusts, conflicting feelings sometimes, not the best at combat
BACKGROUND: Stella's mother is human and father is Piper. Traditionally, since Pipers are few, they marry humans, and in a half-Piper half-human family, they tend to have two children, and the older one is almost always a pure Piper, and inherits the Piper surname, while the younger one is human, inheriting the human surname. However, Stella is instead half-human and half-piper (which may be due to the fact that her mother is a talented musician), meaning she has a really good musical gift---singing, but her magical properties are lacking in comparison to a full-fledged pure Piper (like her brother Neirad). She travels with her brother place to place performing music magic and helping others, as well as getting news on the latest things like Catastrophe and the Resistance. They tend to know exactly what's going on at Kyngdom at the given moment, but remain neutral on conflicts and are more like travelers.

 

NAME: Neirad Shadowtune, he/him, 18
SPECIES: Piper
JOB/TITLE: Neirad the Piper
APPEARANCE: dark hair, warm golden-brown eyes, taller than average, ears with the slightest points (as of a Piper)
PERSONALITY: a serious and mysterious air, but actually lighthearted and fun, charismatic, caring
HOME: a small farm in the most beautiful part of Southeast Kyngdom, but he doesn't feel as attatched to it as Stella, so really doesn't have a home
MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: with Stella, traveling
FRIEND OR MENTOR: Stella, his sister, as a friend, though mentor would be more his father
ENEMY OR RIVAL: none for now
FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: a silvery wooden flute
MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: "Music is really magic of itself."
STRENGTHS: music, especially singing, though also plays instruments like piano and flute, empathy, knowing what to say at the right times, basic combat
WEAKNESSES: too cautious, archery, not the best at teamwork (except with Stella), can feel lost sometimes, feels pressured
BACKGROUND: Similar to Stella's, except because he is pure Piper, he has a lot more pressure, though he knows that he has it better off as well. He was taught music almost immediately after he was born, and music came naturally to him as a Piper. Does his best to care for Stella and travels with her.

And thank you so much Poinsettia for making these charries!! <33
