Character:

Spoiler

Name: Lisa Waite

Planet of origin: Random earth, one where no weird things would ever happen (right?).

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Appearance: 5'8'' tall. Looks relatively plain, with long brown hair and grey eyes. Is nearsighted and wears larger, round glasses. Tends to dress rather conservatively.

Investure: N/A

Skills: Decent scientist with a lot of knowledge of physics. Bad at more practical applications though. Fast runner. Has a decent amount of experience with horror movies, so knows the tropes.

Personality: Soft-spoken and introverted. Dislikes horror movies, and hates jump scares. Gets scared and panicky easily. The type that when frightened by something hides in a corner with a candlestick, only to brain the first person to try and help her because she confuses them for something scary. Very curious when coming across new things, when they're not scary at least, and she has finished panicking.

Weaknesses: Scared quickly, and tends to either panic and run or crawl into a corner when scared. Has difficulty saying no to people.

History: Originally living in new england, she had a number of friends who really liked horror movies, and always dragged her off to see new ones, with her being unable to say no even though she didn't like the movies. After graduating, she went on to study at the Miskatonic University, aiming for a degree in physics. However, at one point something bizarre happened, sucking her into the alleyverse. When she finally managed to stop panicking she found out about magic and (after another panic attack) decided to go and study it to see how it figured into the normal laws of the universe.

[Voidus]

Approved for all three.

[Lunar Blessing she/her]

Well that’s good, as I’ve started RPing with them

[Kidpen he/him]

Is there still time to join this? I probably won't be able to make a character until tomorrow. 

[Voidus]

Should be time, I'll be starting the meeting proper sometime tomorrow (My tomorrow, so like 8-18 hours from now depending on how my day shapes out)

[+ZincAboutIt she/her]

@Element of Chaos how old is your character? Trying to decide what kind of flavor of irritated Renata will be at the flirting, and age will be quite the determining factor.

[Kidpen he/him]

Spoiler

Name: Tishyl, goes by Tish.

Investiture: Chromium Ferring

Weakness: Compulsive desire to always be storing and never to tap. It's gotten to the point where it is a nervous tick, so sometimes she will increase the rate of storing when she gets nervous, which is often. It would take a very exceptional situation to bring her to tap any of it, probably one where she had to help a friend.

Age: 15

Appearance: Short and dark haired. She carries dozens of chromium minds all over her body. She wears traditional Terris attire, which I forget the specifics of.

Personality: Very shy and careful. Generally doesn't like getting too close to other people.

Backstory: She was originally from one of the Terris villages in Era 2 Scadrial. She lived a peaceful life there, storing and tapping chromium normally. However, one day, she was out in the city with a close truesoul friend when she wasn't supposed to be. She was carrying metalminds, but had recently used up her Fortune doing some light gambling. They decided at one point to take a shortcut through a backalley to a bar. As they walked, a shady man walked up to them, eyeing the couple of Aluminum metalminds her friend was carrying. And, to a lesser extent, hers. She didn't realize this, but he was a DA operative (do the DA do this kind of stuff? Just a freelance crazy hemalurgist if not) who was looking for powers to harvest. He kidnapped them and took them to the Alleyverse. Tish managed to escape before he could get the spikes he needed and take her powers, but she didn't bring her friend with her. Since that day she's been unable to go back to her village out of shame of what she did. At some point she went to the Keepers, but they consistently just pitied her and didn't really know how to deal with her. At some point she saw the missive for the expedition and thought it might serve as a fresh start for her.

Character here. I'll post a visiting RP within the hour.

Edit: Forgot some. Changed it.

Looks good, I like the concept

And yes, some DA denizens at the least would definitely do things like this.

[Snipexe he/him]

Is it too late for me to sneak in a character?

[kenod]

Not yet, I think. Just post one now and see what Voidus says tomorrow.

Ok, thanks! I’ll have one up in a bit

[beantheboy12 he/him]

So investiture is allowed? It didn't seem that way at first.

[Lunar Blessing she/her]

It is, as we have multiple invested characters 

[Voidus]

I'd prefer we kept it to a minimum. And be forewarned that combat abilities are not going to be that useful.

[beantheboy12 he/him]

So... what exactly is a horror RP then?

Name pretty much says it, it's an RP that takes place in a horror genre.

My point about combat abilities is that generally speaking in a horror genre, you are going to be vastly underpowered compared to whatever it is you're fighting. A Shardblade isn't really going to bother a Cthulu.

[beantheboy12 he/him]

Ah. Kay. I'll not make an extremely combative character like I usually do.

You can if you want, there's just a high chance that they'll die if they try and charge into things, Shardblade held high and expecting that to work.

EDIT: But it is a nice horror trope so I would quite enjoy if someone actually tried to RP the guy who decides to go out on his own to check out that strange noise they just heard.

[beantheboy12 he/him]

I would love to have that guy be me! RPing my very prominent idiocy! I'll make a character like that.

Oh yes! Willshaper!!!!

Character:

Spoiler

Name: Zib

Gender: Male

Investiture: Willshaper of the 1st ideal

Skills: Can play the snare drum so incredibly well, he will blow your minds. He can literally blow one's mind if he hits you with his drumsticks. He can throw the drumsticks with perfect accuracy, and swing them so fast that the eye can barely notice them.

Equipment: A snare drum and carbon fiber drum sticks. Each drum stick has infused gemstones along the length of it. 

Weaknesses: Is a little too curious and is very weird. He sometimes whacks people with his drumsticks for no good reason.

Appearance: Extremely short. 4'10". But he doesn't notice/mind. Ocean Blue eyes, Blue hair, Blue eyebrows, and dark tan skin. 

Theme song: The Flash

Backstory: He was a Rosharan musician from Alethkar, but didn't care what other people thought of him so he just went along banging random things with his drumsticks. Drums, trees, people, etc. He was a social outcast and eventually was kidnapped and sent to live at the peaks so he wouldn't bug people he was around anymore. There, he bonded his spren and eventually, made the terrible mistake of whacking the leader's bottle of horneater white. He was tied up and thrown into the springs and ended up in shadesmar, then here.
