Garrus Vakarian - 1redfirelightMarch 25 2011, 23:02:18 UTC
Name: Red Age: 24 Journal: redfirelight Contact: AIM @ thisismyomnitool
1. Character's Name: Garrus Vakarian 2. Fandom: Mass Effect - circa Mass Effect 2 3. Time Frame: Just after the destruction of the human Reaper, as the platforms begin to collapse, before the Normandy crew escapes the Collector base. 4. Age: Canon never states -- estimated at somewhere in his late twenties to early thirties by the time ME2 rolls around.
5. Background:Not much is known about him before his adulthood. He was born on the planet Palaven--the turian homeworld--and grew up in a culture heavily valuing civic duty, and honor. According to his Shadow Broker dossier, he has a sister, called Solana, and his mother is currently undergoing hospitalization and treatment for a degenerative mental condition. His father was a highly respected and decorated officer for Citadel Security, or C-Sec, which was, essentially, a highly qualified police force for a massive space station

Background:The efforts of Shepard and her team, however, appeared to be in vain, as Saren learned the location of the Conduit, the artifact which could bring the Reapers back, locked away on a planet called Ilos, and made his way there while the Commander was stranded on the Citadel. He arrived first, and used the Conduit--a backdoor mass relay onto the Citadel itself. From there, Saren could access the Citadel's true function--itself a giant relay, the Citadel bridged the gap between the Reaper's prison, and normal space

Garrus Vakarian - 3redfirelightMarch 25 2011, 23:06:57 UTC
Background: After finding and installing the special drive salvaged from a derelict Reaper, the Normandy was attacked, once again by the Collectors. Shepard's team was not aboard, but the crew was, and all, save for the pilot, were abducted by the Collectors. The Normandy and the team set off after them, engaging in a firefight in the center of the galaxy, before docking with the Collector base itself. Shepard's team split into groups, and fought through wave after wave of Collector troops to reach the heart of the base, rescuing the crew, and coming face to face with the reason for the human disappearances.
The Collectors were building a Reaper. And, since that couldn't very well happen, the team proceeded to destroy it in the most spectacular fashion. However, while the Reaper was, quite literally, exploding, the narrow platforms the team was using to attack it collapsed, sending them all running for cover.
Garrus, instead of making it across, ended up somewhere else entirely.

Garrus Vakarian - 4redfirelightMarch 25 2011, 23:14:19 UTC
Personality:His mission goals are of the utmost importance in his mind, above all else, even the needs of others--save for those in his squad. Duty is important to him, and he is easily frustrated when he can't do what he has deemed to be his. His turian upbringing dictates that he places the good of the many over his personal goals, which could likely have been a contributing factor in his sudden relocation to Omega-combined with his need to follow in Shepard's footsteps

Name: Shanus of Uranus the Saint of Screws, Shanetor the Barbarian, or just Shane if you prefer Age: 22 Journal: da_putts Contact: DaPutts @ AIM
1. Character's Name: Garrett Hawke 2. Fandom: Dragon Age 2 3. Time Frame: In between Act 2 and 3 after he killed the Arishok but before the tension between the templars and mages came to a boil. 4. Age: 30-31
5. Background: Garrett Hawke is the first child of Malcolm and Leandra Hawke. After they fled from both the Circle of Magi and Leandra's family in Kirkwall, they settled in Fereldan in a small town named Lothering. It was there that Hawke spent most of his life. While his sister Bethany began to show skill with magic like their father, Hawke found that he had great skill with a blade. Eventually Hawke joined the king's army alongside his little brother Carver. Unfortunately their first taste of real combat came during the battle of Ostagar against the Darkspawn. After the king was betrayed by his most trusted general the army was all but destroyed. Hawke and Carver barely escaped with their

Garret Hawke 2/?da_puttsMarch 25 2011, 23:15:57 UTC
Background:Not wanting to loose Bethany like he lost Carver, Hawke told her to remain behind which she did reluctantly. After the expedition made its way into the Deep Road, Bartrand betrayed Varric and Hawke as he didn't want to split the profits with them. Despite being stabbed in the back, they survived, found treasure of their own, and made their way back to Kirkwall. Bartrand was long gone by that point however. Eager to share the good news with his family, Hawke immediately headed home to find them, only to find that during his time in the Deep Roads Bethany was discovered by Templars and forced to join the Circle of Magi. Hawke could do nothing for her now

Garret Hawke 3/?da_puttsMarch 25 2011, 23:17:17 UTC
Personality:After years of climbing his way up to the top and facing trials that would make even the bravest soldier's legs quake, Hawke is quite confident in his abilities and those of his friends. Outside of losing his little sister, the only family he has left, there is little that scares him anymore. In fact, losing anyone he cares about is the only thing that keeps him up at night. After witnessing the death of his little brother and the tragedy that befell his mother, he's grown quite protective of his ragtag family. Still, despite his confidence, he's aware that his failures are just as grand as his successes and can never forget them

Garret Hawke 4/?da_puttsMarch 25 2011, 23:18:19 UTC
10. Languages: Common
11. Items: A pack with dried food and supplies, a pouch holding a few health poultices, another pouch with holding some vials of poison, a waterskin, and the armor he's wearing.
12. Weapons: A pair of short swords that will be blunted and a couple of combustion grenades. These won't last long as he can only get them through his contacts in Kirkwall.
13. Writing sample - Third Person Prose: Pain. It was the first thing that Hawke noticed as consciousness returned to him. His side was in tremendous amounts of pain. The second thing that he noticed was the pungent odor of rank dog breath. Hawke slowly opened his eyes, momentarily blinded by the brightness of the room. Once his vision cleared he found himself lying in bed in his room of his estate. Beside him was his mabari, fast asleep and taking up half the mattress. Its mouth hung open as it snored and snorted in its sleep

Princess Odette | Part 1 of 4unactiveMarch 25 2011, 23:18:41 UTC
Name: Sparky Age: 23 Journal: unactive Contact: strongmeka.chan@gmail.com | Mods have my AIM
1. Character's Name: Odette 2. Fandom: The Swan Princess Trilogy 3. Time Frame: During the first movie, after her father's death 4. Age: 19
5. Background: Odette is the only child of King William. When she was born, her father and Derek's mother, Queen Uberta, decided that their children would be the key to uniting their kingdoms. And so from a very young age, Odette was forced to spend every summer with Derek. The two hated each other for most of their lives and dreaded the months they would have to be together. Eventually, however, when they had grown up, Derek and Odette finally saw each other in a different light. They had fallen in love with each other and Derek was eager to have their marriage arranged
( ... )
Princess Odette | Part 2 of 4unactiveMarch 25 2011, 23:19:51 UTC
6. Personality: Odette can be considered a typical fairytale princess. She's got the curse thing going on and the evil wizard holding her hostage in exchange for her kingdom and of course we can't forget her prince charming, Derek. But that's where the typicalness of her situation ends. Odette is very generous, kind and caring very considerate of those around her. She's level headed, to counter Derek's impulsiveness. So instead of waiting for Derek to come to her, she went to him and led him back to Swan Lake, where they could plan how to break her spell
( ... )
Princess Odette | Part 3 of 4unactiveMarch 25 2011, 23:21:03 UTC
8. Appearance: Odette stands at about five feet, six inches. She's slim figured and her features are very feminine. Her eyes are blue and she has blonde, waist-length blob like wavy hair. She wears a number of different dresses, but the one she arrives on the Elegante in is a light shade of green and form-fitting with a green sash tied around her impossibly tiny waist. The sleeves are long and ruffled and she wears green slippers. Upon arrival in Holloway's Keep, Odette is not wearing a dress, instead a pair of breeches and a too big, loose white shirt, and around her wrist a hair tie that once belonged to Phoenix. She will now have scars, most noticeably a thick scar across her left forearm. She also has a thick scar trailing across her back and her midsection, where a cardinal tore through her during the party.
As a swan, Odette resembles a mute swan. The majority of her feathers are white save for her wing tips and tail which are a light gray. Her bill is a reddish-orange color bordered with black. If ever there are swans around

Princess Odette | Part 4 of 4unactiveMarch 25 2011, 23:23:01 UTC
13. Writing sample - Third Person Prose: (Recycled!) It was cold here. That was the first thing Odette realized when she opened her eyes. She turned in a circle, to survey her new surroundings. Her webbed feet paddled expertly in the water, as if she had been doing this her entire life. She shivered, her feathers rustling as she did so. Why was it so cold? She looked down, gazing at her reflection in the water

1. Character's Name: Thumbelina 2. Fandom: Don Bluth's Thumbelina (1994 film) 3. Time Frame: Just after Thumbelina says she will marry the mole 4. Age: Physically she looks about 16. Though technically, she's only been alive a few months.
5. Background: Once upon a time, there was a lonely woman who longed to have a child to call her own. So she paid a visit to a good witch who gave her a tiny barely corn. The lonely woman was instructed to plant this barely corn. So she did and by and by it began growing! The rose bloomed and the tiny girl stepped out into her new mother's hand. She aptly named the girl in her palm Thumbelina
( ... )
Thumbelina | Part 2 of 3onlyonemysizeMarch 26 2011, 02:18:22 UTC
Background continued:Thumbelina's journey resumed, but it became clear that she had no real direction and was very very lost. Winter was upon her and to stay warm, she slipped into an old shoe and wrapped herself in the sock. By this point, she was convinced Jacquimo was wrong. She was never going to find her way home. Thumbelina falls asleep and wakes up underground in Ms. Fieldmouse's home. Ms. Fieldmouse was very blunt with Thumbelina and told her that Cornelius had died while he was out searching for her. Thumbelina was heartbroken but agreed to go visit Ms. Fieldmouse's neighbor, Mr. Mole
( ... )
Thumbelina | Part 3 of 3onlyonemysizeMarch 26 2011, 02:20:04 UTC
9. Abilities: Thumbelina has no magical abilities on her own. She's not a fairy. She doesn't even have wings. So in every sense, she is nothing but a human being, aside from one tiny thing. She's no bigger than the average human thumb. Thumbelina can very easily fit into the palm of anyone's hand, and among other things is very easy to hide. She's seen sweeping and helping her mother care for the house and farm. So I've always assumed she can cook and clean, but is limited because of her size and simply being unable to lift certain objects because they are too big and/or heavy. Thumbelina is also described as having an amazing singing voice in canon and she's also very beautiful. At least to the little woodland animals she is. That's all subject to the opinions of others here in the Keep.
10. Languages: French
11. Items: Nothing but the clothes on her back and the ring Cornelius gave her.
12. Weapons: n/a
13. Writing sample - Third Person Prose: She had made a promise and she intended to keep it. But Thumbelina was apprehensive

5. Background:Once upon a time, there was a planet called Cybertron. There were a lot of awesome robots there. Some of them liked to blow things up. Some of them were really pretty.

11. Items: Himself, and his gun.
12. Weapons: The actual specifications of his weapon aren't really given. It's a gun. Canon differs on whether or not it's actually a part of him, but, for this game, it won't be. Considering it's a robot's weapon, it's going to be fairly large, and do a lot of damage. However, since that just won't work in this setting, it will be restricted to a stun setting, in which it will only effect the portion of the body the bolt hits -- such as an arm or a leg.
13. Writing sample - Third Person Prose:For a second, he could hardly believe his luck. They were really throwing him up against an untried recruit? And a tiny one at that. Just how pathetic did they want this fight to be
