Am I too late for the bandwagon?
I was going to not bother with one of these, but not doing one is like starting the new semester naked. So I give you, in alphabetical order:
Claire is pretty much your typical 18-year-old artsy girl from L.A., with an extra helping of sarcasm and pessimism. She has big-time trust issues and tends to react to anything that bumps up against them by acting like she doesn't care, probably smokes too much pot, and can be pretty much a bitch in the right mood. She's kindasorta dating Cal Stephanides right now, though she's being gunshy about jumping into anything serious. Her longer info is here.
The weird thing about her canon is that people have these incredibly vivid imaginations/hallucinations, which for Claire sometimes mean her dead dad talks to her. She's not psychic -- show canon says he's not really there and Claire doesn't think of it as seeing ghosts. But if the text goes italic and something weird happens midthread, Claire probably noticeably zoned out.
Romeo is 18, from Verona Beach, Ca., (and what is it with me and Californians right now?) and very much not dead. His speech has flattened out a lot over the last year, but it's still noticeably formal sometimes. Personality-wise, he is flirtatious, a little vain, moody, incredibly impulsive, and so spoiled he doesn't even really get he's being spoiled. But he is also loyal and brave, so it all sort of evens out. His original info post is here.
He's head-over-heels for Yurika Dojima and astounded they've now made it most of a year.
Sarah is a spy, and a good one. No, really. Her last assignment was in L.A. protecting someone who had stumbled into valuable government information; she got too personally attached and didn't take a shot that might have risked him, and right now she's been reassigned to Fandom as an object lesson in not screwing up like that. Her infopost is here and the opt-in/opt-out post for being spied on or recruited is here. I clear anything specific she does with the spying with the players involved -- the post is more for my reference.
She lies a hell of a lot, but we know she's 28(ish) and her dad is a con man, and she grew up helping him "work." The CIA offered her a job when she was like 18, so it's her life and her family. Oddly, my character with the highest body count is also the nicest, as long as you don't step on her issues or strike her as a threat. Just don't ask about her past and expect a truthful answer.
Tyler is also 28 thanks to some time travel, and from Wilmington, Del. He used to be from movie canon but that's a while in the past now. He's started to see chaos as less than desirable. I'm sure someday someone will smack him upside the head and he'll get over it. His info post is here.
And Tony Stark is not his boyfriend, even if they are sort of joined at the hip. Really.
As for me, I work 8-4 Monday through Friday and am usually around for SP then, and am back on after 7 most nights. Weekends get dicey because I have family things to do most of the day, but I am on as much as is humanly possible, if not a little more. I'm usually up for anything people want to throw at my characters.
And yes, both of my students are graduating at the end of the semester. Um, it means more new shinies this summer?
