That would be a safe choice

While I was struggling to come up with how to explain this to you I said something that I think actually carries my point pretty well, so Ima go ahead and toss that here and maybe that will carry my point better than me trying to explain the politics and social ramifications of the Lines

[21:16:14] +Kuro von Einzbern: Sketches doesn't realize that he's basically having his character do the equivalent of saying "hey, I joined al qaeda but I don't actually think suicide bombing will get me anything in the afterlife"
[21:16:29] +Kuro von Einzbern: And IDK how to carry that point across to him

Pff you were definitely understating the Laylites in the OP if your now comparing them to al qaeda. I thought the Laylites were people that used fear to their advantage to gain power, like blackmailing someone to get what you want. Obviously that's not what they are then.

Well, they're not terrorists, but they're socially equivalent to an extremist group like Al Qaeda. They're not a group you want to be openly associated with and even those who aren't actually cultists but actually believe in the true Layla get lumped in with the cultists and have to follow the cult rules, so even then it's a risky join

This was something I failed to properly communicate with Lilith's announcement of her chosen Line during the last iteration of this RP too >_< Everyone thought it was just "weird" when it was more like "unheard of"

Forum Name: Jory

Character Name: Hailey Rivers (goes by "Riv")

Age: 16 (March 14, 1023)

Personality: Hailey puts her studies first. She cares a great deal about school, and this shows through her highly inquisitive nature as well as her relentless classroom participation. Despite her studiousness, she manages to be very laid back and friendly. Although she's not always around for social events, she's an amicable girl and given the opportunity loves interacting with people her own age. Going with the flow often, she tends toward the bubbly side. She is quite easily excitable. This combined with her inquisitiveness often leads her into situations both interesting and awkward. Although she's quite book smart, she tends to be equally naive and is often the last to get a joke (making her the butt of some of them). Lastly, she is an extremely loyal friend. Although not combative by nature, she will fight to defend those she cares about.

Appearance: Hailey is by no means a large girl. Standing at a below average 5'3", she has to look up to most people. She is thin and does not have a large chest. She usually wears a pair of small glasses with silver frames along only the top to read; however, her vision is good enough to see without them (they are reading glasses, after all). Her eyes are a deep sapphire blue and her hair is a dark raven color that, in the right light, seems to have deep navy blue tones. However, she has dyed it a royal blue (kind of like my bold text actually).

Line of Belief: Practicing Nayrist

Modifier: Adept


Figured I'd hop in on this since my only female character right now is Bianca. Also, seems like a solid crew of oldies but goodies.

Sheet's done. Have at it.

Forum Name: Stalkerkain

Character Name: Esyllt Morrianas

Age: 17. Born on October 17th, 1022

Personality: Reckless often without reason, Esyllt has always believed taking risks, so long as the odds are in her favor. Whenever something goes awry, she’s able to maintain a perfect cool; enough to manipulate everything around her to her own tempo. Her confidence tends to reassure those around her, but tends to get people involved with whatever she has going at the time.

Appearance: Standing at 5'8", Esyllt has black, wavy hair which falls a little past her shoulders. She always wears a warming smile on her face, but often times or not, people think she’s just plotting something mischievous. Caring not for what others think of her, she wears simple and comfortable clothing. For her, simple is best.

Line of Belief: Nonpracticing Alexian

Modifier: Vine

Other: Enjoys running, and often times wakes up early to run through the sleeping city.

This is quite interesting, I'm in. I'll be posting my Character Sheet Below.

Character Sheet:

Forum Name: K_H

Character Name: Anita Lotensio

Age: 16; July 5, 1024

Personality: She's a "type 2" kuudere, and she's both intelligent and quick on her feet in terms of thinking, though she can be a bit rash when under pressure. When making decisions, she's a bit stubborn at first, but she's able to change her mind about something if one tries hard enough to convince her that something is not a good idea.

Appearance: 6' 0", jet-black hair, and purplish-blue eyes that are so dark that they verge on being black.

Line of Belief: Nonpracticing Alexian

Modifier: Shield

Other: Her mom sent her to OI for both of the reasons stated. She wants her daughter to be extremely well-educated, and also dislikes the government. Not enough to openly voice her opinions, but she still dislikes it nonetheless.

I'd like you to lengthen the appearance section, outside that I don't see any issues here

Forum Name: Shadow Sketches
Character Name: Jasmine Lee Rose (Most call her Lee)
Age: 16. May 7th 1023
Personality: The first impression most get when they meet Lee is that she's very passive aggressive, she only does things when she gets something out of it. Everything she does must benefit her in some way, she wont see a point in doing it otherwise. She can seem very cold as she doesn't pay attention to others unless she wants to. She doesn't care what others think of her or do unless it affects her directly. Rarely will she talk to others and when she does it'll be blunt and to the point, she doesn't dance around the topic. Fights aren't a common occurrence for her but she's not afraid to stand her ground when push comes to shove, though most will leave her alone rather than antagonize her. For the most part she'll be doing her own thing and not bothering anyone. Headphones in ears as she's lost in her own world.
Appearance: Lee is slightly tall, her lean body being around 5'8. She's pretty skinny and barely has any chest to speak of, it's not completely flat but nothing to write home about either. Her skin tone is noticeably pale with little to no blemishes. She keeps her dark purple hair cut short, her bangs slightly falling over her pale blue eyes but not completely covering them. Her face is decorated by piercings with a silver ring pierced through the left side of her bottom lip, a silver ring piercing through one of her nostrils, as well as three silver ring piercings near the top of each ear.
She is always seen wearing very lax clothing, mostly just t-shirts, hoodies, and jeans. Her trademark outfit is a grey hoodie over a black shirt, as well as dark blue jeans that hug her legs with black combat boots on her feet.
Line of Belief: Nonpracticing Alexian
Modifier: Blade
Other: Don't be a bitch annoying and you'll get along just fine.

I've still got a few issues with this. But you seem to be a reasonable person so I'm going to accept it and let you try to patch them up as you write and develop her more

So, there's nothing actually wrong with this. It's just that, um, there's an NPC named Haley who has blue hair. I don't have an issue with that, but I thought I ought to bring it up. If you don't mind that then this sheet is perfectly fine

I'm slightly confused as to why she looks plotting if she's always smiling? You don't need to change the sheet, just explain your logic. EDIT: Grr quotes breaking >_>

Alright, the Appearance section has been lengthened.

TY, accepted

Edited in a nickname.

Ah, perfect solution, accepted

And with that, I do believe all sheets have been accepted. I shall start on the IC immediately

Yay~

EDIT: And the IC is up. I've got each goddess's theme accompanying the scene she's participating in. Keep them in mind while considering the mood of your responses

so yeah, sorry for this bit of mocking amusement mixed with subtle undertones of genuine loathing, disgust and distrust from Arya that will most likely probably, ok, screw it, definitely not help Lillith's self-confidence...

but uh... you're pretty damn adamant about this whole "Laylites are just bad, M'kay?" concept... and Arya honestly kinda views them as social enemy #1 given that... well, her personality kinda makes her a literal antithesis of sorts for their practices and methodology.

so yeah. Sorry but not so sorry. I can't really let the kid be as nice to her right off the bat as she was the last go around... But no, I really am sorry about this...I genuinely kinda like Lilith as a character

Sorry, wat, why? That's like, exactly the sort of reaction I was hoping for. One of my big issues with the last iteration of this RP was how I failed to convey that people were supposed to hate Lilith for being a Laylite. I mean there's the whole thing where Laylites declare in private so only their roommates and teachers know what they are (and schools have very strict nondiscrimination policies for teachers)

Although I think you may have used the word bitch a bit much. A few times emphasizes anger and resentment, a lot of times starts to replace that effect with "oh, they just curse a lot." Not a huge deal, but I recommend dialing it back in the future so it has greater impact instead of just being expected

Sorry because like I said, I really do kinda like Lilith as a character... for alot of the same reasons I really liked Lana as a character in the original Ymora

But I like, literally only included it in the whole post twice(At least in the current version of it... granted, I do admit that I was a bit more liberal in the raw, original that first went up a while ago... but then again, there were quite a few things different between the original than the fine-tuned one up now, such as how certain things were worded and certain descriptions, including explicit alterations to clean up the parts containing to 2 or 3 extra bitches that were present)

Hmm, I thought it made the most sense that it was Rein that punched Lee (it being the first day, it's not totally unreasonable someone that doesn't know Rein called her Purity which got her annoyed enough to punch her in the stomach.)

Though if either Kushor or Acqui have a problem with that (had a different idea in mind or what not) I wouldn't mind changing it.
