IN THE NAME OF THE MOON! TRANSFER FORM!
Name: Gabrielle Ivanovitch
Current School: Meadowview
Gift: Paleontology - Gabbie's deepest passion in life is rooted in the deep and primal past. She was fascinated with dinosaurs as a small child and as a result, began to work at learning everything she could as soon as she learned to read. She's done a summer apprenticeship at the local Natural History museum already and is looking forward to applying when the museum sends out a team to do some digging.
Do you want your character to be eligible for a Zodiac seed? No thanks, she's already got one. :3
* Also, Natsu said to put down that Lizzy would be doing this if Gabbie got picked for transfering. So I am. XD

IN THE NAME OF THE MOON! METAKID!
DID YOU WIN THIS KID IN OUR LAST COMP Y/N? No, but I won your mom in our last comp, if you know what I mean (and I think you do).
Name: "Elaine" Sutton. (The actual first name on her birth certificate is Landscape Sutton, so you can see why.)
Nicknames: Laney.
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Fav. Food:
===> Anything with peanut butter on it. Vegetables dipped in peanut butter, gummi bears dipped in peanut butter, fluffernutters, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. She really likes peanut butter. (Note: smooth, not chunky. Chunky peanut butter is the devil's work.)
Hated Food:
===> Bubblegum. She has never learned to blow a bubble. She also gets perturbed by the constant urge to swallow something after she's been chewing it. She also chews gum like a cow with cud.
Gift:
===> Language of origin, please? Can you use it in a sentence? --
Three-time spelling bee champion in her youth, Laney can spell more words than most people can define. Flashcards are her best friends when studying anything. At an older age, this sort of excellence is less practically useful, but she remains a sharp, intelligent student with an incredible studying and work ethic: she's an editor and copyeditor for the school newspaper, a mathlete, and does the day-to-day updating of the Barren Pines website. As a result she also has the school lunch menu for every month memorized.
Virtues:
Focused -- A bit neurotic about disappointing her family, or getting in her family's way by not overachieving, Laney is an overachiever. When she's given a task, she will defeat that task if she has to rip out her own hair and strangle the task with it. She's not easily distracted, and can sit in one place reading or do the same repetitive task for hours. (She can also become lost for an afternoon reading TVTropes.)
Affectionate -- A bit perpetually affection-starved, once Laney is classified as a friend of yours, she loves you. She obsesses over learning your interests and giving the perfect gifts. She will hug you every time she sees you. She will remember your birthday and pay you lots of attention.
Flaws:
Cannot Cope, Going to Mordor -- When things go Laney's way, she's on cloud nine. But when they don't, she prepares with hysterical anguish to quit the internet forever. She doesn't handle her problems in the mature, responsible way of an adult -- she hides from them, gives people the silent treatment, and sobs into her pillow and eats Ben & Jerry's.
Oh, I Love Your Hair -- And if she says she loves your hair, then it's gauranteed that she is already touching your hair. She has very bad social skills, and chief among these, she has absolutely no concept of personal space.
Oh, ma'am, could you please not sit there? I saved a chair for my dad in the fourth row on the aisle, and it may take him a while, but when he gets here, that's his chair, 'cause my mother's in an ashram in India -- I saved a chair for her too, but it's merely symbolic, as daily she washes herself in the Ganges! -- and I live in a house where there's an oversized dictionary that I read as a girl on the toilet. -- Too much information. She will give it to you. She REALLY has bad social skills.

IN THE NAME OF THE MOON! METAKID!
Here's the form. Fill out all sections.
DID YOU WIN THIS KID IN OUR LAST COMP Y/N? NO LADIES I DID NOT
Name: Quinn Rowell
Nicknames: It's not very personal, but people who don't know him call him by the initials or gamertag he leaves in arcades.
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Fav. Food: He loves his mom's homemade-from-scratch chicken noodle soup like nothing else.
Hated Food: 95% of frozen dinners; he's used to delicious home cooking, so it's really just not the same.
Gift: WakaWakaWaka (video games) Quinn's mother was a front desk clerk at a small vacation hotel during the summer months when he was younger. Unable to afford babysitting for the long hours every day, she simply brought him to work with her and let him wander around the grounds. As most children would, he followed the bright lights and electronic noises to the arcade; when his mother found him, it took her over an hour to pry him away from the hotel's Pac-Man machine.
His intrigue of video games only snowballed since then - it's all he does in his free time. He breaks every game down into its simplest parts, and is usually able to play most anything no matter the learning curve.
He does not, however, enjoy playing MMOs or online co-op; the other "players" are unpredictable variables, and he gets far too frustrated when dealing with such trivial things that could so easily destroy the predicted outcome.
(More practically, it carries over into his "IRL WORLD!1" by fine-tuning his tactical understanding and by keeping him on his toes. Never know when a zombie's gonna be jumping on you to chew your face off, after all.)
Virtues:
Sniper, third floor! Even before he fell in love with video games, Quinn loved I Spy on car trips. He has a keen eye and is always very observant of his surroundings, to the point where he gets a little anxious when he's not sure what's around that next corner.
I have the Triforce of Courage, baby. Is that a dark tidal pool? THAT'S OKAY. He likes to think that he isn't afraid of anything - okay, death is kind of bad, but that's what started all of this. He's had to be strong for his mother since his father's death, which meant he couldn't be afraid of bugs, rodents, or answering the phone (it was a legit fear for her!).
Bedtime means bedtime. He is undeniably caught up in his gamer-life, but his respect for his mom (and any other adult/leader figure) comes first. If he's told to stop playing, he has no issues signing off, and that's that. The only time he snapped back at his mom he felt guilty for weeks, and it hasn't happened again.
Flaws:
Oh s**t, that won't respawn? Being so caught up in the video game world bleeds over to his reality. He uses the lingo and occasionally attempts keyboard shortcuts that are obviously not going to work. The fact that Ctrl + Z doesn't work IRL is extremely devastating to him. This wouldn't be so bad, if it didn't make him a complete social failure. Nobody wants to communicate with someone they can't understand.
Psst, the answer to 35 is C. Because he is so aware of what is happening around him, he tends to get nosey. Not on purpose - he just wants to be helpful, but he has trouble respecting personal space. He often interjects in conversations where he isn't really welcome, and never understands why people seem so offended by this.

DID YOU WIN THIS KID IN OUR LAST COMP Y/N? No
Name: Claudia Jensen
Nicknames: CJ
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Fav. Food: Take-out Chinese food
Hated Food: None, CJ will eat anything, she’s like a garbage disposal
Gift: CJ has a gift with domestic animals, she seems to understand them and their body language much more than other people. If an animal’s hurt she can usually figure out what it needs to recover. Domestic animals seem to like her, even grumpy ones will warm up to her eventually. Non-domestic animals on the other hand she knows to treat with respect, her gift doesn’t extend quite that far.
Virtues: Animal Lover – CJ loves animals, and she loves anyone who loves animals. While she’s not gung ho enough to consider herself an animal activist, she does greatly care for the welfare of animals. She spends much of her time at the local shelter volunteering.
Energetic – Claudia’s full of energy, but it’s usually kept inside. She’s always ready to go do something, whether it’s playing a game or volunteering more hours at the shelter. Although if she gets around caffeine she can get bouncy.
Flexible – You want to go the movies? Sure! Oh wait, you wanna go to the park instead? Alright! CJ is very flexible with her plans. She’ll do whatever the majority wants to do. She’s also very non-confrontational so she’ll concede to whoever has the strongest opinion.
Kind – CJ is truly kind, she tries to be nice to everyone, even those who don’t like her. She’ll go out of her way to help people, sticking around until she’s sure she’s done everything she can.
Flaws: Sentimental – CJ gets attached. To everything. She’s a complete pack rat, unable to throw anything away. She has trouble distancing herself from the animals in the shelter and whenever one has to be put down she can usually be found in the bathroom later that day crying her eyes out. She gets especially sentimental about gifts given to her by her friends, since she doesn't have that many and so, to her, that makes each gift much more special. She even keeps gifts from friends she doesn't talk to anymore, not being able to bear the thought of tossing them out.
Door Mat – The bad thing about being flexible is that people tend to take advantage. CJ doesn’t have any kind of spine, allowing people to walk all over her. She has horrible difficulty saying no to anyone, especially if they say please. The only things that she will stand up for are animals. If someone’s hurting a defenseless animal she’ll step in no matter if the offenders are bigger than her.
Shy – Claudia is extremely shy, she likes to sit in the back of the class trying to not attract attention. She doesn’t make friends very easily, completely awkward around others. She never knows what to say in any given situation and she usually resorts to babbling about animals she’s taken care of at the shelter.

DID YOU WIN THIS KID IN OUR LAST COMP Y/N? N
Name: Aracelia Croose
Nicknames: Ari, Celia
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Fav. Food: Beef
Hated Food: Cheese
Gift: Fencing! By no means the greatest at it, it’s still a sport in which she knows more than the average person does about how to wave around a metal stick. Celia’s learned a lot about fighting with a weapon in hand from this, as well as how to react around someone who does. Which, you know, totally wouldn’t happen in this day and age, but WHO KNOWS.
Virtues:
Empathetic – Celia cares. Celia will listen to your problems. She will laugh at your jokes and cry when your pet fish dies. She really does want to help, but most of the time being a shoulder to cry on is the best she can manage in a situation.
Superwoman – Celia sees herself in a heroic light, defending her friends (and, uh, herself) from the forces of evil even in everyday activities. It’s a confidence booster and a worldview. It is selflessness in a sense, as Celia will go to great lengths to help those she cares about, but then again, only people SHE cares about.
Flaws:
Don’t You Love Me!? – Celia doesn’t ‘let go’ easily, once she’s invested time and emotion in something. If she can’t be with you, friend or lover, NO ONE CAN. Did you cancel on plans to go to the movies because you were sick? Impossible! It’s just a ploy! Someone is taking you away from her! And Celia will HUNT THEM DOWN AND PRY YOU FROM THEIR VILLAINOUS GRIP.
Spontaneous – Celia doesn’t think too much about what she’s going to do before she does it. This tends to happen a lot in fits of passion, driving her to do things whose consequences can be pretty awful for her in the long run even if they make her feel better in the short term. That huge angsty letter she wrote on your best friend’s locker this morning in lipstick? Oh. Oh right. THAT.

DID YOU WIN THIS KID IN OUR LAST COMP Y/N? No
Name: Ophilia Monsoonia
Nicknames: SCARZY B***H!
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Fav. Food: Mango's
Hated Food: Soup - ITS A DRINK NOT A FOOD!
Gift:
Story Writing - Ophilia has some weird dreams, some of them involve things that people could not even imagine, she writes these down into stories which can blow peoples minds. Most of them are horror stories or murder mysteries. They shock peoples holding them through the pages, wrote in the most effective way possible. Her books are even on sale! of cause under a false name, only the teachers know she is the author, to protect her from fan mail and in some cases death threats.
Virtues:
Girls Just Want To Have Fun - If she wants to do something she will do it. Regardless of the consequences as long as she enjoys herself who cares? its all about living, life is meant to be fun so what's the point in living if you if you limit yourself? not enjoy yourself. If you want to listen to loud music at 3am and dance and sing into a brush then do it!
NEVER FEAR - Ophilia does not really have that sense which tells you to not do something you might get hurt. This can be a bad thing but for the most part it gives her to do things most are scared to do. It has showed her a new world of things, like climbing to the highest point in the city, who else can say they have seen that. Of cause sometimes things like this go horribly wrong... however she can say she is not scared to try anything.
Flaws:
Creepily Obsessive - Do you ever feel like you are being watched? Ophilia is the kind of person who follows others, sometimes even records them, steals little items like pens and note books. Some times in extreme cases she even sits in tree's looking through windows.
PERSONAL SPACE PLEASE! - She has no sense of it, she is the kind of person who will sit next to the one person on the bus if the rest of it is empty, she will hug people to greet them and hold on a little too long. Stand way too close to random strangers and stare at people. Even look right over there shoulder to see what they are doing.
Hallucinations - Ever thought the shadows where coming to get you? walls closing in and hearing things, seeing things that are not there. So much so it sends you into panic attacks, breathing heavy as you hit the flaw and scream, crying your eyes out hoping it will go away. Why would this be a flaw? well when you see a girl that does this often, would you want to be her friend? or would you just count her as a freak, maybe it would even scare you, making you avoid her at all costs.

DID YOU WIN THIS KID IN OUR LAST COMP Y/N? N
Name: Pearl Hunter [... based on Jamais without the full 'medical' knowledge... so sorry, I had to figure out how to get her in this without screwing her up too much. **Just for this contest** XD]
Nicknames: Pearly
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Fav. Food: Green Pepper and Ham Pizza
Hated Food: Carmel by itself.
Gift: Sword Fighting, Pearl is a ‘master dancer’ in sword fighting terms as classified by her family. There’s not "many" moves she doesn’t know. Her favorite past time is engaging in fights and suddenly pulling a blade from her many “hiding places” seeing if she can intimidate her foe. Occasionally she’ll spin on one foot [or peg leg as the case might be] and juggle her sword. [As thin as she is it’s amazing how many swords she can hide on her little body.] Her family enjoys the sport of spitting out insults to see whom they can make crack first when training. She enjoys applying this practice when she’s fighting, throwing insults to see if she can break her foe’s concentration enough to get them to try to bicker with her.
Virtues:
- Caring Pearl’ll do things for the good of the neighborhood if she’s stone bored. That includes starting up a place for kids to hang out. However, she's not always seen as Kind and Caring. She tends to keep her face as serious as possible and just in general be indifferent to everything. Nevertheless, she does help people when they need it. Toss them a few bucks or whatever the case may be and push it aside like it's no big deal. Even the occasional 'helping the old lady across the street' or 'saving a cat from a tree' normally gets pushed to the side as. Something she was going to do in the first place. She hates coming off as Kind and Caring but somewhere in that stone heart of her there is a soft spot. Specially for kids she just makes excuses as to why though.
- Willing to Listen One of Pearl’s weak spots is she's a good listener if anyone comes in ranting she sit there looking rather uninterested and when they've finally calmed down she always have some sort of words of wisdom. Be those words of wisdom smart assed or serious.
She may not work officially in the medical field but as she knows what kind of 'scars' facing weapons can be, and she realizes that people sometimes just have that need for someone to listen to them and she tries to give advice as helpful as possible. While it isn’t Pearl’s most favorite past time she does listen, and she does give advice, however the form it comes in may not always be considered ‘advice’ but sometimes an insult. Because let’s face it, it takes a little while to understand Pearl speak as it’s kind of priatey.
- Savior Complex. Pearl is hell bent on returning favors be it big or small. One of the most important things anyone can ever do for her is ‘save her life’ or otherwise helps her out of a tight spot. She becomes obsessed with the person and does anything in her power to protect them or help them without looking completely creepy or "OMG STALKER!" doing it. Normally the more naive someone is to such things the better. In other words Pearl needs a “Savior”, be it unfortunate for her or for the other party. Pearl finds it impossible to seemingly enjoy being around people unless she has some reason to be around them, like paying them back for a favor.
Flaws:
- Expects the Worst in People Pearl expects the worst in anyone and everyone, making her savior complex a rather explosive thing. While Pearl plays covert ops she also still expects some sort of gratification. When she doesn’t receive said gratification she tends to go off on a rant of sorts, yelling at the suspect, sometimes even causing minor property damage, in forms of throwing the nearest lamp or mirror or some other breakable objects, “I hope that wasn’t your mothers’ priceless vase I just smashed,” Vengeances. After all that is done if the person were to ask “… are you okay?” Pearl goes into another fit of “OMG YOUR SO STUPID I HATE YOUR ******** GUTS MAN!” And storms out occasionally leaving a clueless victim/savior scratching their head trying to figure out what they said wrong. Of course, sometimes this can be amusing and other times downright scary.
Pearl also carries the cane sword and a few daggers with her for this very reason. Since she expects the worst of everyone, she expects some idiot to try to rape, rob her, or do even worse. Heck she even expects them to try to do it to other people in front of her. So she tends to carry the extra protection, even extra swords when she's not going any place in particular to make sure to ward off any idiotic people.
- Selectively Caring While Pearl does thing to help some people. She also often ignores those around her when being directly asked for help. [Unless she's at her "job" then she has to listen but you'll know she “hates” being asked for help.] Some little old lady could ask Pearl to help her across the street and she'd just scuff and walk away. She doesn't like doing nice things that are expected of her and she'd rally just rather kill you and eat you if you expected too much of her. But she has morals and that’s cannibalism so she won't do that.
- Drunkard [WHAT PIRATE DOESN’T DRINK!?] Pearl loves to drink [screw drinking age!] when not working, which at times can be a minor flaw in her programming. Many times however she is the happy, drunk the one you’d much rather be around if you had to spend any real amount of time with her. However she does get pissed off, it’s a little harder to do, but once pissed off when drunk she’s a little hard to handle.
Pearl when in angry drunk mode will go on about “what the hell is wrong with the world and why people shouldn’t be allowed to live”, and which people. Sometimes those happen to be the wrong sorts of people to mention that they shouldn’t be allowed to live because of stature or whatever you’d like to say these people have. However she also goes on randomly punching things and wildly swinging around whatever she has with her, mainly the Cane sword since ‘real’ swords aren’t allowed in most places. The only leave minimal damage but they can still leave a heck of a bruise. However she does hide other swords the best she can, she knows there’s places people won’t search for sharp objects and she finds it amusing.

DID YOU WIN THIS KID IN OUR LAST COMP Y/N? N
Name: Pearl Hunter [... based on Jamais without the full 'medical' knowledge... so sorry, I had to figure out how to get her in this without screwing her up too much. **Just for this contest** XD]
Nicknames: Pearly
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Fav. Food: Green Pepper and Ham Pizza
Hated Food: Carmel by itself.
Gift: Sword Fighting, Pearl is a ‘master dancer’ in sword fighting terms as classified by her family. There’s not "many" moves she doesn’t know. Her favorite past time is engaging in fights and suddenly pulling a blade from her many “hiding places” seeing if she can intimidate her foe. Occasionally she’ll spin on one foot [or peg leg as the case might be] and juggle her sword. [As thin as she is it’s amazing how many swords she can hide on her little body.] Her family enjoys the sport of spitting out insults to see whom they can make crack first when training. She enjoys applying this practice when she’s fighting, throwing insults to see if she can break her foe’s concentration enough to get them to try to bicker with her.

IN THE NAME OF THE MOON! METAKID!
Here's the form. Fill out all sections.
DID YOU WIN THIS KID IN OUR LAST COMP Y/N? nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Name: Rune Chronos
Nicknames: Rue, but nobody calls her that.
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Fav. Food: red velvet ice cream
Hated Food: hamburgers
Gift: Fashion design- Rune aims to be the next big fashion designer, as Project Runway usually states in its openings. From sketching ideas as a child to designing her own outfits, Rune aspires to be on said show one day, and to make it to New York Fashion Week.
Virtues:
Prompt -- Rune likes to be on time for things, even early, whether it's classes or something like the movies. She's a believer in "the early bird catches the worm", and has been sighted at least once camping outside a store in preparation for a big sale.
Fashionable -- Perhaps this comes hand in hand with being an aspiring designer, but Rune always makes sure her wardrobe is up to date with the current trends, her designs or not. She'd die if she was caught wearing last year's shoes, seriously.
Flaws:
Pompous/arrogant -- Rune likes to think of herself as being above everyone else, or at least anyone not attending Barren Pines. After all, if they're not here, they're obviously not good enough to have been accepted, right? Although she holds a tiny amount of respect for her fellow classmates, she can't help but look down on everyone else.
Impatient -- Rune doesn't like to wait for things, or for other people. She can and will ditch people that take too long to catch up to her, and really just has no patience to wait around for someone to, say, finish working on their part of the project they're working on.
judgemental of others' fashion tastes -- Rune won't hestitate to tell you that those shoes look dowdy, or that you have no business wearing short shorts with that sort of figure. She sort of more or less fails to understand how people can get this far and not realize they're a victim of bad fashion, or how they can not take the time out of their day to catch up on the latest trends.

DID YOU WIN THIS KID IN OUR LAST COMP Y/N? No
Name: Constance Blair
Nicknames: Connie
Gender: Female
Age: 13
Fav. Food: Jelly donuts, string cheese, and rose tea
Hated Food: Tomato soup, Brussels sprouts, and pasta
Gift: Sewing/tatting bobbin lace - Her grandmother, who had learned it in her home country of Germany, taught it to her when she was 8. She thinks it's amazing taking thread and creating the soft, delicate lace. When she was 11, she made a small heart pocket and sewed it onto her Aunt's wedding dress, turning the simple dress into an elegant one.
Virtues: Humor -- Albert Einstein said that 'Humor is more important than knowledge' and though Connie doesn't know he did, she has a very good ability to perceive and express things that are funny. She'll laugh at the dumbest joke, or worst pun, and uses it as a defense mechanism when she's in an awkward situation or when she feels nervous. Connie also just loves laughing and smiling.
Generosity -- Although it takes her some time to complete a piece of lace, she wants to share it's beauty with everyone, and so often gives it to the first person she meets. She doesn't often have extra money, so when someone needs help, she gives them as much of her time as she can if it's a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on or a companion for a shopping trip, she'll do it all.
Intuitive -- One can't hide things from Connie, she's very good at perceiving the feelings of people and being able to tell when they are upset and trying to hide it (or even when they have a secret they can't share). She's very tuned in to the feelings of her close friends, and even some strangers. Connie sometimes is empathetic when she keys into the emotions, and mirrors them back to the person.
Flaws: Self-conscious/critical -- Connie doesn't hate her glasses, but she feels like she looks odd and stands out with them. She'll pick an outfit to wear out, but the second someone looks at her longer than a second, she starts to nit pick it, or find flaw in how she looks. Connie knows she's not fat, by any means, but it bothers her when she sees other girls her age starting to develop, when she hasn't yet.
Honest -- Sometimes she's too truthful. She has trouble lying to someone to protect their feelings, and if she thinks something is wrong in a situation, she'll always speak her mind.
Innocent/Naive -- She wants so desperately to believe that there's good in everyone and that no one ever acts maliciously that she creates stories in her mind where all their actions are justifiable or they just didn't know what they were doing.

DID YOU WIN THIS KID IN OUR LAST COMP Y/N? No
Name: Macie Juniper
Nicknames: Mace, Mac, Jun
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Fav. Food: Anything fast food, especially tacos
Hated Food: Mt. Dew
Gift: Microscopy - Macie has always had an eye for detail, and found that she really liked her biology class, especially when they involved cutting things up. But more then dissections, she loved looking at the things under a microscope, where she could see the item blown up. She puts everything and anything under the light microscopes and has mastered the Kholer illumination technique. She's heavily researched the larger microscopes, and has decided that the Scanning Electron Microscope (Or SEM), which uses electrons to scan the surface of things like pollen (and smaller!), is the most amazing machine ever, and worked a summer in the local college in their lab, to learn about it firsthand.
Virtues:
Recycles everything -- "You're not going to throw that AWAY, are you?" Not only does Macie buy the reusable bags, she also makes her old t-shirts into bags, or coasters or anything else that she needs at the time. She reuses anything in her house that she can (water bottles, pop bottles, etc) and keeps a close eye on her friends to make sure they're doing the same when she's around. She even goes so far as to pull recyclable things out of the garbage and hang onto them until she can recycle them herself, if they're on top.
Tact -- Macie has mastered tact to an art. She knows exactly how to avoid saying things that give offense in difficult situations.
Local Produce Junkie -- When she's not eating at the taco stand, Macie is going out of her way to buy anything and everything that's locally grown, locally owned or locally raised. She's quite ademant about it, and tries to convince other people that they should as well. She not only likes helping the environment by buying local, but she also likes helping support the local, small time, growers.
Flaws:
Nervous popper -- She just can't help it! When she's bored, or nervous, or irritated or overly excited or even just to hear that sweet sweet POP!, she pops things. Her preferred mode of pops are bubble wrap, but as that isn't always readily handy, she also pops gum (since it's much easier to carry in her pocket) or her plastic bag that she brought her lunch in. She does, however, have a desk drawer in her room full of bubble wrap.
Eyelash batter -- Who knows why she does this, other then that she thinks it makes her look totally adorable. Macie overly bats her eyelashes. Once when she was very young, she did it in front of her mother and mother's, who thought it was the most endearing thing ever, and has batted her eyelashes ever since, as it got her several pieces of candy when she did it the first time. However, it hasn't worked since then, and most people thinks she just has a twitch.
'What's interesting is...' -- Macie seems to know random factoids, and likes to work them into any conversation she's having. However, everyone knows when they're coming, as she precludes it by saying "What's interesting is..." Her friends have told her how annoying it is, but she doesn't believe them and continues to do it.

DID YOU WIN THIS KID IN OUR LAST COMP Y/N? Nope!
Name: Pepper Keene
Nicknames: PK, Dr. Pepper , Dr. Doom
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Fav. Food: White chocolate truffles
Hated Food: Blueberries
Gift: We’ve got a MacGuyver in the house! No, she can’t make a bomb out of a half eaten strawberry, a paper clip and a pack of Bubblicious gum but you can bet she can make a stellar science project out of it. You might not know what it will turn out to be but teachers tend to look forward to them. From a young age, she had to be thrifty about what was around her because of the constant paranoia that she would be unprepared for any situation. This evolved into a talent for being able to use common household items to fix problems that should require heavier machinery. Not only can she think them up but they normally seem to work. Though most are a temporary fix just to give Pepper enough time to go get the heavy machinery but precious seconds are still saved. It’s the difference between a flooded sink cabinet and a flooded dorm room.
Virtues:
Prepared – Pepper tries to have an abundance of supplies in her bag whenever she leaves. Need a Swiss army knife? She’s got one in her pocket complete with a mini nail file. Need a band-aid? She’s got one and some ace bandages along with that. She always has a stapler for every essay and a paperclip for every report. Definitely someone to get lost in the woods with considering that she probably keeps road flares in there too.
Workaholic – Pepper can sit down and get what needs to be done, done. It seems that she spends most of her time just finishing her projects or assignments. She’s never without something done. Most of the time, her homework is complete mere hours after it’s been assigned. If you need any sort of project done, it would be a good idea to have her as your partner. She’ll probably do all the work too. Pepper leaves no stop unturned when working on something. Any activity or project she does goes through a long assessment before she deems it complete. Any of her fixes are as strong as possible and she prides herself on it. She takes pride in every little painstaking detail she renders on anything she touches.
Creative – Pepper certainly has to be rather creative to make her gadgets and fixes on the spot. She can dream up just about anything and find the tools to make it. Anything that’s necessary or possible is doable in her opinion. It just takes a bit of time to do. She can often be found reveling over designs for new random tinker toys or random looking crap that makes no sense but looks like it could be important.
Flaws:
IT’S A TRAP !!!!11! – She is paranoid about everything and everyone. Everything is a conspiracy and everyone isn’t what he or she seems. They are all CIA agents, Russian spies and aliens hostiles. Even these supposed, “costumed terrorists” are probably a government experiment to create stronger soldiers gone wrong. There is very little trust in the world for her unless you happen to get close enough to her that she. She always thinks you’re up to something if you speak to her. She sees herself as the weird girl so, in her head, why would anyone talk to the weird girl? Don’t expect a warm welcome if you catch her off guard. She’s got mace. Pepper constantly frets that she didn’t lock her door, that she forgot something back in her dorm. She’s always looking over her shoulder to make sure that guy walking down the street really isn’t following her. It can be hard to get her to leave at a specific time due to her having to double and triple check everything. Even leaving the classroom takes two sweeps back to make sure she didn’t leave anything important. Nothing freaks her out more than being unprepared. If she can’t go through her bag and pull out something to fix the problem, she will be a nervous wreck and not much can calm her down unless she gets away from the situation in question.
Passive Aggressive – She always has this aura of sarcastic b***h around her. Nearly everything she says to people is just a parade of sarcasm and bitterness. She never seems angry or upset. Most of the time it's actually hard to tell when she's genuinely mad. Though you may not realize it at the time, yes she was angry about that one time with the thing and the other thing that you did. No. She doesn’t need to be specific. You know what you did and you should apologize. NOW.
Take and no give – She is definitely someone who doesn’t believe in paying it forward. She’ll certainly take something from you or expect something in return but if you decide to give her a birthday present, don’t expect one on yours. There is no common courtesy, no paying someone back and certainly no sense of what an IOU is in her head. Most of the time, you have to actually tell her to do something for you if you need something done and suffer through the big WOE IS ME speech before she goes to do it and you better believe that she expects a favor sometime in the future. Ask at your own risk.

You might not know what it will turn out to be but teachers tend to look forward to them. From a young age, she had to be thrifty about what was around her because of the constant paranoia that she would be unprepared for any situation. This evolved into a talent for being able to use common household items to fix problems that should require heavier machinery. Not only can she think them up but they normally seem to work. Though most are a temporary fix just to give Pepper enough time to go get the heavy machinery but precious seconds are still saved. It’s the difference between a flooded sink cabinet and a flooded dorm room.
Virtues:
Prepared – Pepper tries to have an abundance of supplies in her bag whenever she leaves. Need a Swiss army knife? She’s got one in her pocket complete with a mini nail file. Need a band-aid? She’s got one and some ace bandages along with that. She always has a stapler for every essay and a paperclip for every report. Definitely someone to get lost in the woods with considering that she probably keeps road flares in there too.
Workaholic – Pepper can sit down and get what needs to be done, done. It seems that she spends most of her time just finishing her projects or assignments. She’s never without something done. Most of the time, her homework is complete mere hours after it’s been assigned. If you need any sort of project done, it would be a good idea to have her as your partner. She’ll probably do all the work too. Pepper leaves no stop unturned when working on something. Any activity or project she does goes through a long assessment before she deems it complete. Any of her fixes are as strong as possible and she prides herself on it. She takes pride in every little painstaking detail she renders on anything she touches.
Creative – Pepper certainly has to be rather creative to make her gadgets and fixes on the spot. She can dream up just about anything and find the tools to make it. Anything that’s necessary or possible is doable in her opinion. It just takes a bit of time to do. She can often be found reveling over designs for new random tinker toys or random looking crap that makes no sense but looks like it could be important.
Flaws:
IT’S A TRAP !!!!11! – She is paranoid about everything and everyone. Everything is a conspiracy and everyone isn’t what he or she seems. They are all CIA agents, Russian spies and aliens hostiles. Even these supposed, “costumed terrorists” are probably a government experiment to create stronger soldiers gone wrong. There is very little trust in the world for her unless you happen to get close enough to her that she. She always thinks you’re up to something if you speak to her. She sees herself as the weird girl so, in her head, why would anyone talk to the weird girl? Don’t expect a warm welcome if you catch her off guard. She’s got mace. Pepper constantly frets that she didn’t lock her door, that she forgot something back in her dorm. She’s always looking over her shoulder to make sure that guy walking down the street really isn’t following her. It can be hard to get her to leave at a specific time due to her having to double and triple check everything. Even leaving the classroom takes two sweeps back to make sure she didn’t leave anything important. Nothing freaks her out more than being unprepared. If she can’t go through her bag and pull out something to fix the problem, she will be a nervous wreck and not much can calm her down unless she gets away from the situation in question.
Passive Aggressive – She always has this aura of sarcastic b***h around her. Nearly everything she says to people is just a parade of sarcasm and bitterness. She never seems angry or upset. Most of the time it's actually hard to tell when she's genuinely mad. Though you may not realize it at the time, yes she was angry about that one time with the thing and the other thing that you did. No. She doesn’t need to be specific. You know what you did and you should apologize. NOW.
Take and no give – She is definitely someone who doesn’t believe in paying it forward. She’ll certainly take something from you or expect something in return but if you decide to give her a birthday present, don’t expect one on yours. There is no common courtesy, no paying someone back and certainly no sense of what an IOU is in her head. Most of the time, you have to actually tell her to do something for you if you need something done and suffer through the big WOE IS ME speech before she goes to do it and you better believe that she expects a favor sometime in the future. Ask at your own risk.

IN THE NAME OF THE MOON! METAKID!
Here's the form. Fill out all sections.
DID YOU WIN THIS KID IN OUR LAST COMP Y/N? Nope 8D
Name: Aislinn Deirdra
Nicknames: Linn
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Fav. Food: Chex Mix. Store brand, homemade, whatever - she loves the party mix and can't get enough of it. Tends to prefer original and the chocolate types to, say, the spicy or cheddar ones. All are still totally amazing her book though.
Hated Food: Salads. Lettuce is rabbit chow, thank you very much! No problem with the other veggies like green beans, green peppers, cucumbers, or heck, even carrots when solo! Just something about having them all jumbled together with lettuce and dressing makes her nauseous.
Gift: Do You See What I See? - A photography lover, Aislinn can never be seen without a camera on hand. From the small digital cameras, to the large 19th century studio variety, she finds them fascinating and mystifying like no tomorrow. Every time there's a new update on technology, techniques, new ways to alter photos digitally or traditionally, anything, she pounces on it.
Might this love of capturing the world as she sees it, have something to do with her particular... talent?
Linn is, without a doubt, one of the most observant people she knows. You know those annoying puzzles were you've got two pictures of the same scene, only one's slightly altered and you've gotta figure out why? Yeah. Let her glance at them for a minute and she'll have all the flaws picked out and then the ones caused by printing errors. Do you have small bits of short, curly, white hair on your pant leg? She'll happily bring up the subject of your dog, and ask the best way to make scrambled eggs once she spots the bits stuck to your shirt.
While not a robot able to detect the slightest detail in the room, the girl's got logic and five senses of which to utilize and piece together a great deal of information in a relatively small amount of time. Tire tracks in the dirt? Give her a laptop and she'll figure out what they belong to via the almighty Google and bluntly point out the jock's boots have the same gravel stuck in them, visually matching the shoe patterns also found at the scene of the stolen soccer equipment. Again, nothing like the so-amazing-they're-totally-fake equipment they've got on shows like Bones and CSI, but hey, does the trick for her.
Besides, being so skilled with your natural five senses that you can make some people believe you've got a sixth... please tell me Linn wasn't the only one who thought of some fun ways to use this~

Besides, being so skilled with your natural five senses that you can make some people believe you've got a sixth... please tell me Linn wasn't the only one who thought of some fun ways to use this~
Virtues:
- An Eye for Beauty - Camera in hand, she can go into a grubby, dirty, disgusting room and walk out with at least one roll of film full of what she believes to be stunning, breathtaking shots of it. Given the right angles, light, shadows, centering, shots, she smiles to the thought of having a knack for finding the hidden beauty in her subjects provided she works hard enough at finding it. This has undoubtedly stemmed - or perhaps it was vice versa - her belief that everyone has a good side to them, you've just gotta go at them with the right angle, light, shadows, centering, shots, to find it. Get down in the dirt and go through the hard times with them, and you're sure to find a diamond somewhere in all that gunk!
I'll Wait Forever for You - Girl's got some mad patience both socially and artistically. All good things come with time, and she has no problem standing around waiting for them to happen. Not the best visual set up with those birds in the tree? She'll stand there as long as she needs to to get the perfect shot. Wind's blowing and making a mess of things? Waiting it out is totally fine to her! So she wants some oh so specific information from ya concerning a missing diary, information you don't want to give out oh so willingly. She's okay with striking up a seemingly unrelated conversation, watching with all due interest to your facial expressions and physical responses to various things, taking her time to learn all she can about how you react to things you like, don't like, know are true, know are false, etcetera, taking hours and even days or weeks to get what is to you useless information... but hey, wanna know the catch? Wait till she brings the subject of the diary back up, and she'll use all that fun knowledge she just gathered about your reactions, and use it to the best of her ability to catch you in a lie and drag the truth out of ya. As they say, good things come to those who wait.
Make art not war - While not exactly a saintly pacifist, Linn does find violence to be a pretty lowly aspect of society. If someone attacks her physically, she will respond back in self-defense, but never will she be proud of this act. Was it necessary? Yes. Does she like it? Never in a million years. So to see people openly and willingly engage in such barbaric acts... she shutters at the thought. She much prefers talking things out, though that might have something to do again with her liking to pay attention to people's reactions, and oh hey... totally doing everything she can to just talk herself right on out of that bad situation. Doesn't always work, especially if the other person is able to follow what she's saying and doing, but hey. She's not complaining so long as it works now and again, and it's still the thought that counts, right?
Flaws:
- Devil in the Details and Tyranny - You think it's just raw talent, built up skills, and flat-out luck that lands Aislinn such awesome photos? Well, maybe, but she sees it as just being amazingly patient and willing to do whatever it takes to get the shot. The rest of the world sees it as just being amazingly picky and willing to show off just how much of a perfectionist she is. If something isn't just right with how the fabric's falling, or how the wind's blowing, or if that deer isn't in that one perfect spot in the grass, she'll set her jaw firm and go at it again and again until she gets everything to look just how she wants it to. This has a nice tendency to also flow into her daily life, though thankfully not to such a high degree as with her projects and art. She can be lenient with people, giving them all the time they need to complete the desired task. Just... y'know, so long as it's eventually done her way. Even if it takes days, weeks, months, and occasionally spanning over a year when dealing with those she's especially close to (family mainly), she'll just smile and intertwine her hands behind her back oh so sweetly and wait. The way she figures it, she'll get her way eventually. Just need to be patient~
It's not as good as who's now? - As patient and understanding as she is, Linn is fully aware of what lengths she'll go to to get that perfect shot, make that project look absolutely flawless... so to hear someone else did it.... better? She'd be stunned, she'd be flabbergasted... and above all, she'd be pissed. Should she discover her "rival" - according to her view of the world in that moment - went to similar lengths or had similar difficulties making their project as fantastic as everyone says it is, Aislinn would digress, suck up her pride, and give the winner a strong "Congratulations!" however grudgingly she might be feeling about it on the inside. However, that being said, should she come to find out that this person did it better than her and didn't suffer on some level for their work, she shall be vexed and cursing and more of a Medusa than a smiling little cherub she at least tries to be. Almost always she returns to spending hours and hours fuming over her cameras, taking thousands of rather interesting and very much symbolistic shots to calm herself down, if only to try and calm herself down to avoid needless drama.
And we're walking away now... - Again, not a conflict kind of person. Any time there's a huge problem with someone, she hates talking about it, hates involving herself further with the drama; really, anything that makes her have to deal with the horrible sad truths of life (not all friends are loyal, people talk crap about you, not everyone has a good side to them...), she tries to avoid. Instead, she prefers to let foul subjects drop, hush-hush negative topics and brush them under the rug - and take a million photographs to relieve her stress and other not-so-nice emotions she might have building up over the situation. Sometimes she will slip and a very public display of her bottled up emotions with come out, but oh the embarrassment and shame... a million apologies to all who were even partly involved is very much guaranteed in the near future.
Con-artist and gold-digger, at your service~ - You know those shows of people claiming to be psychic, able to speak to the dead, being able to read minds, things like that? If she could, Linn would be all over that in a heart-beat. Being so observant as she is, keeping a track on everything from facial expressions, tone of voice, physical responses and movements, sighs and other often seemingly minor reactions to the world around them, the damn girl can very quickly start building a scene to make herself appear... not so normal. Oh, hush! She hears something! And maybe she does, but it's certainly not your dead mother or favorite pet who died when you were five. Nope, she'll over play everything and anything to drag more responses out of you, saying things and wording questions just right to let you fill in all the blanks she needs to make her act all the more convincing. Now, why would such a sweet girl do something so horrible? Easy - cameras cost cash. She has none. You, her unfortunate target, do. If it means making a buck for that shinny new digital camera with more functions than would seem logical for a camera (omg, it can access THE INTERNET~!), she'll twist as many heartstrings as it takes to get it. Patience, observation, perfectionist - she will have her way and get what she wants from you in the end, one way or another...

IN THE NAME OF THE MOON! METAKID!
DID YOU WIN THIS KID IN OUR LAST COMP Y/N? Nope
Name: Cora Castino
Nicknames: Cora. No ifs, ands, or buts. Just Cora.
......But....don't tell her I told you this...around her pals she's called Mama Castino or just Mom.
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Fav. Food: Chicken Parm. Honestly who doesn't love chicken? Especially if it's smothered in sauce and cheese?
Hated Food: Shrimp. Yuck....
Gift: Voice. Although Cora does not have the ability to use her voice to enrich speeches and debates, instead she uses it to give life to songs. It was a way to keep the kids calm at night and since then she's developed an interest for improving it. Every night, in no particular back hall of the school, some students may stumble across this little songstress. She joined the choir freshman year and is one of the most hardworking of the group with her severe desire to be the best.
Virtues:
Motherly- As the oldest child of five this young lass is used to looking after people. Since her parents were busy out making money to support their hungry flock of kids, Cora took over the reigns of raising all the youngsters before she left for school. Even though she is away at school, her maternal spirit continues to wrap around her pals. Even when her and a group of friends are out on the town, Cora doesn’t mind leaning over and adjusting a hair or dusting away smutz on someone’s face. The lass is regularly teased by friends as being their mother due to her constant fretting over their health and risky actions. Whenever trouble occurs though, mama Castino is always there to banish the pain and wipe away the tears.
Responsible- Cora is the type who keeps a planner filled with important dates, is always on top of assignments, and can tell people where they can find a forgotten keychain. She just has a hitch for being on top of things.
Courageous- Cora will tackle any challenge big or small. Nothing is too tough, least when you’re trying to the first time. If someone needs something done, she’s a good person to go to for it to be accomplished.
Flaws:
My way or the high way- Of course holding power over four youngsters can make someone used to being obeyed. Cora still struggles with not having control over her friends, teachers, and classes. Thanks to being out of as a brilliant leader by little siblings Cora has developed a case of the big head syndrome. It has been proven by many incidences that when someone does not listen to her “words of wisdom” Cora becomes infuriated. Since she can’t send the person to their room, she’ll tell them what she thinks of them and then follows it up with a good stomping off into the distance.
Don’t Rock the Boat- Alright, so the lass can handle children but peers? Ah…her patience was not made for that age level. Idiocy and Immaturity by those of sixteen and up can drive her bonkers. As said before she normally goes into a fit if she sees someone doing something stupid and cannot correct them of their ways. Hopefully she’ll learn soon that everyone develops in their own way and that it is not in her power to change how a person is.
Critical- Nothing is good enough for Cora. She may be motherly but she expected the best out of her siblings. Never in all her years of walking, has Cora ever settled for anything in life. How far she’s gotten in life is all thanks to her own determination. Sure she has offered her help but very rarely has she accepted it. The times that she has accepted help has gone missing in her memory nowadays. Stuck on her high horse, Cora believes that everyone should possess a determination like hers. If they don’t well…then they just aren’t trying hard enough.

IN THE NAME OF THE MOON! METAKID!
DID YOU WIN THIS KID IN OUR LAST COMP Y/N? ... maybe? I'M NOT SURE YOU GUYS TELL ME ;.;
Name: Tara Shannon Kavanaugh
Nicknames: Tara's been called everything from Space Case to o'Hara, but would prefer being called by her name, thank you.
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Fav. Food: Pizza. In Tara's opinion, the person who invented pizza deserved a Nobel Prize. She's also fond of breakfast sausage and canned cake frosting.
Hated Food: Curry, chili, and hot foods that set her mouth on fire. Also cold foods like most kinds of mint, or ice cream.
Gift: Astrobiology: Ever since she can remember, Tara has been fascinated by what lay beyond her scope of vision. When she was ten, her parents got her a telescope and a microscope, and she found wonders with both of them. Her interests are varied and include chemistry, botany, and meteorology in addition to astronomy and biology. Astrobiology is Tara's passion, however, and she is convinced that not only is there life in the universe, but that aliens are among us. In addition to her studies in more "normal" sciences, she writes articles about her alien theories for astronomy blogs that have earned her attention from fanatic UFO chasers and serious scientists alike.
Virtues:
Cool Under the Collar: It's virtually impossible to get Tara to lose her temper. To her, arguments are chances to match wits with others and either prove something or learn something. While her volume might increase if the other person's is, she doesn't invest any emotion in her debates and almost never gets angry, even if she's proven wrong. This makes her come off as detached sometimes, when really she just enjoys a good conversation and doesn't want to let anger ruin it. Anger's about the only thing this applies to; with other emotions, Tara runs the gambit and is terrible at hiding her feelings.
Adventurous: Need someone to try something new? Ask Tara! Whether it's taste-testing homemade cookies or trying a potentially dangerous experiment, she's the girl for the job. As a researcher of the unknown, she considers it her duty to put herself in new situations, even if they're potentially threatening, and she is good at keeping her head even in unfamiliar territory. That said, Tara isn't totally courageous; she has fears just like anyone else, but the unknown is not one of them, and she's always up for new experiences.
Helpful: It's important to be friendly, especially when you're trying to change the world. Tara realizes this, and does her best to make herself useful. People who come to her find that she's an excellent listener who's always willing to lend a hand- to people who come to her. Not that she's unfriendly towards others, but they're more likely to get an earful on UFOs from her. People who seek Tara out for any reason- even selfish ones- give her the support she needs without knowing it. With them, she's more likely to be open and natural, and somewhat more likely to stay on-task.
Unconventional: Tara has a knack for thinking up unusual solutions to problems. When the usual doesn't work, she always has at least one more thing to try. She's also an excellent sounding board, and loves to help people work through problems they're having, whether they want her help or not. One problem that goes along with this is by ignoring conventions, Tara finds herself in sticky situations when it might be better to just play along.
Flaws:
Shameless: "All publicity is good publicity," or so says Tara. As such, she does things that other people would find hurtful or embarassing, without really thinking of the consequences. Usually, her stunts merely serve to damage her reputation and make people think she's a kook. Since she doesn't quite get those facts, she's willing to go to just about any length to get attention, or to find something out. The good news is that since she doesn't think what she's doing is wrong, she isn't embarrassed. The bad news... well, judge for yourself if it's your skirt she's lifting up in order to prove a point.
Skeptic: Forget seeing is believing. For Tara, believing doesn't happen until she experiences proof in triplicate with multiple senses. A healthy amount of skepticism is key to discovery, but Tara's skepticism goes beyond what's healthy, and she argues with just about anyone who tries to spout "facts" at her. Weirdly enough, Tara is more likely to take subjective or unproven claims seriously, which leads to her own interest in sciences that deal more with theory than fact.
Lazy: While Tara loves to work on things that interest her, getting her to do anything else is difficult. Her grades are near the bottom of the class because she refuses to do homework. She doesn't study for tests, she doesn't clean her room, and some days it's too much trouble to even take a shower. If Tara doesn't see the point in doing something, or she isn't interested in it, she won't do it, end of story.
Scatterbrain: Forgetful is one word often used to describe Tara. She is known for forgetting where she leaves things, when and where events are happening, and even how to do certain tasks. Tara's trouble is not just with memory; she has difficulty focusing on any activity for long, and feels the need to jump from one activity to another frequently. If she isn't adequately stimulated, her forgetfulness spikes dramatically. Having her help on a project requiring long-term committment is a bad idea, since she'll either bail out part way through or try to keep going and end up in such a frazzled state that she'll be more harm than help.

Name: Emmaline Graham
Nicknames: Emma
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Fav. Food: Taco’s.
Hated Food: Tofu. Who would want to eat a tasteless sponge?
Gift: Emma is an amazing writer. She’s written everything from short romance and science fiction stories, to writing film scripts. She always has her computer with her, and even in class she’s been seen writing down plot ideas instead of copying notes from the board.
Virtues:
I need to get this done… -- Emma is a very determined girl. Once she sets her mind to something, she’ll finish it no matter what. Whether its writing a new novel, or finishing her projects for class (though rarely it’s the later)
Does this make my butt look big? --Emma will always tell you what she thinks, even if it’s something that you wouldn’t want to hear. She’ll tell you if something looks bad, or her thoughts on your relationship.
Flaws:
I’m sorry, did you say something? -- Emma has a very short attention span. It’s hard for her to keep focus on just about anything but her writing. Her mind always wanders from thing to thing.
Ugh! I hate choosing! -- Emma is very indecisive. It takes her forever to pick anything, from her outfit, to what she’ll have for dinner. Thankfully she has to wear the uniform to school so she doesn’t have to worry about that.
