Welcome to Gaia! ::

AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM

Name: Ingrid Fühler (German; if translated means 'The Beautiful Horned One')
Nicknames: Ingrid, Ing
Gender: Female
Age: Looks like a 15 year - old.

Faction: Monster
Race: Hippocerf

Natural Ability:
xxxxxxxxxx • Shapeshifting: A Hippocerf when in it's humanoid form, can 'transform back' into their original form, that is a full Hippocerf (or vice - versa).


Personality:
xxxxxxxxxx • Just do it faster! (impatient): Well, Ingrid is impatient about stuff. If you ask her to do something, and if it's an emergency, she'll do it in a hurry... Or probably won't do it at all. And if you ask her to wait for just a few minutes, she'll leave before you could even finish it. She hates waiting for others, as well keeping others to wait for her.
xxxxxxxxxx • I'll just do the homework later, i'll just go grab some snacks now... (convenience first): Do your homework? Total 'no way' for Ingrid! She hates doing her homework, as well being commanded around. When she's given a task by someone, she'll do what she wants first, then finish the task given. Oh yeah, and she also likes to eat snacks. But since she's a hippocerf, she only eats plants and herbs.
xxxxxxxxxx • Hey, do you know JD? His music tracks are awesome! I can't imagine he... blah blah blah (talks a lot): Ingrid really do love talking. And she could talk a lot, especially when it's about music, and food! She's also easy to get along with people. She always knows what to talk about with others, even with the ones she just met. Even so, some (or most) people might get bored and pissed off of her too much talking....
xxxxxxxxxx • Ooohh... What's that? (curios): Ingrid is always curious about the things that's new to her. But sometimes, curiosity could kill the ghoul (or so they say). She could act beyond imagination just to discover what it is!
xxxxxxxxxx • I heard there's this crime scene or somethin'.... Wanna' investigate? (adventurous): Being curious also makes her... Well, adventurous! By being curious, she wants to discover things. And that, influences her to be adventurous. She won't back down, and she'll keep going on. In the name of discovery and adventure!
xxxxxxxxxx • Hi! Nice to meet you. So, having fun today? (outgoing): Ingrid isn't afraid to get out there, and meet new people. Like i said before, Ingrid is a conversationalist; she always knows what to talk about even with new people. She can know it by inspecting how they dress, talk, walk, and react to their sorroundings. If you're new in Amityville, she'll quickly recognize you, and meet you. From there on, you could be her friend!
xxxxxxxxxx • Let's go for it again! (energetic): Actually, she is an energetic person! She'll do anything to keep herself busy. She can't just stay still, you'll always see her flouncing around the place!
xxxxxxxxxx • Pap pap rapap, pap~ (artsy): Who says hippocerf can't make art and music? That is just wrong! In fact, Ingrid's mother is a sculptor, and her father is a musician. What does Ingrid do? Well she likes drawing, of course. She doesn't inherit any sculpting skills from her mother, but she does inherit a little guitar playing skills from her father. Also, Ingrid always brings a sketch book and a pencil with erasers, which are stuffed in her pockets.


Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?
xxxxxxxxxx • She didn't really fit in. : In her last school, she didn't quite 'fit in'. The other students in her previous school are all mocking her (probably due to financial issues [Her family couldn't pay much money for her school, that's why they decided to transfer her to another, which is Amityville Academy. Her father has connections in Amityville Academy. Her family isn't rich, in fact, they're poor. This grants them the 'social status' (the 'status' you get from others when they only know you from your 'cover', not as your 'real you') as 'nobody'. They' aren't usually noticed by others.]; and also due to the fact female hippocerf rarely has antlers). Well, at first, she pretended that she didn't care about it. But after some time, she requested a transfer. If her father has connections, why didn't she enroll in Amityville Academy in the first place? Previously, her father didn't quickly enroll her to Amityville (previously she's enrolled in another school which she's teased on, like i stated before), because she figured out enrolling her to a 'prestigious' school might give her family a higher 'social status'. They thought they could pay for the expenses. Turns out, they could only pay for her school in her first 5 months. They would work harder to cover those bills, but eventually Ingrid requested transfer, and so they moved her out to another school, which is Amityville Academy. Well, she picked Amityville Academy since her father has connections there. So they figured out that people there might 'won't do much (bad things)' to her, rather than in her old school. Besides, it's kind of cheaper there than her previous school.
xxxxxxxxxx • Financial issues. : I did mention Ingrid is not from a wealthy family, right? Well, her school before is an elite, prestigious school. Which, takes up a lot of money to pay for it. Due to her family's financial issues (they can't pay for Ingrid's school anymore), they moved her to Amityville Academy.

FEAR Ability:
xxxxxxxxxx • Confusion: Like any other hippocerf, Ingrid can also produce confusion to 'distract' or confuse her enemies. Her form of confusion is somekind of telepathy. When her opponent is thinking of a next attack to use on her, she could 'dive in' into the opponent's head, and mess it up, so her opponent will be confused on what she / he should do, and who should he / she attack. How long does this confusion thing lasts? Depends! On the first year, it may only lasts for a mere few seconds (but no less than 30 seconds), giving her time to strike back or run away. On the second year, it can last up to 5 minutes. This gives her the time to either run away, or to plan a simple attack, then strike back. On her third year, it'll probably lasts for more than 20 minutes. Probably, depending on how focused she is. This FEAR ability requires great focus; so if she's bugged by something, even though it's a little matter... It'll ruin her attack!

Comments and Critics:
xxxxxxxxxx • From Proxility : Age (Is there an IC reason why she should be 50 rather than 15?) and personality (her personality [previously care - free] doesn't really fit in with the reason why she transferred).

Why? Is there a specific IC reason that she should be 50 rather than 15?



Could you get a little more specific? Why didn't she fit in? What kind of issues?

I'm not sure you understood what I meant by my first question! Is there a reason you want her to be older than she looks? Why would you rather she be 50 than 15? When I looked up information on hippocerfs, I didn't see information on them aging slowly, so I assume this is something you've added for the race in Halloween. Is there a specific reason for this?

For the second point, I don't really feel that that reasoning fits with her personality as you've described it. Would a character who's outgoing, curious, adventurous, and who doesn't care about what others think feel so harrassed by her peers at school that she'd feel the need to transfer to get away from them? That doesn't seem consistent.

Okay, on to the answers! :3

---> First of all, she HAS to be in the age for school :0 Since, well, this is an academy =u= I asked a friend before (who's a specialist in magical creatures and stuff... :0 She did some kind of research on these things), and she say they may age slowly. :3 Since it's a may, so i can't make sure that Ingrid is 50 C: I'm just going to put 'looks like 15 year - old'. C:
---> Personality fixed! >n< I just realized i wasn't really consistent on the personality! D: But anyways, changed the personality, but i kept the story (reason to move to Amityville) the same C:

Anyways, thanks for the crit! :3 Feel free to take another crit or another look at it~

Well to be honest, I just found hippocerf ‘accidentally’ when I was about to make a demon character XD But I thought, well, demons are… Common. :0 Hippocerf? Maybe not much of em’ thought of that XD Besides, they represent confusion! C: Something unique, if I do say so myself :3 And… I’m not sure she’ll be called a doe or anything XD For now, just Ing or Ingrid :3 Maybe when she became a student, others will give her nicknames… Related to her as a being of ‘part horse part deer’ :3 Okay, let’s start this up! >u<


1. Antlers! Well… :0 Think of her as something…’Abnormal’, an exception of her species. :3 Did I mentioned that she was mocked in her previous school? :0 Well, this was because of her financial issues, social status, and also her antlers :0 Female hippocerf aren’t suppose to have antlers (even if some of them does, it is very RARE). Yeah she may look like she is ‘part zebra’ or part okapi, since her legs are black… And it’s horse legs XD It’s also a funny thing that I actually wanted to create a peryton student before, but I finally settled down on a hippocerf :3 And for the other one, she is actually myth based :0

2. Diet Yep. She’s a vegan :3 She can’t eat meat, since she’s a hippocerf (horses and deers are herbivores). Even if she’s forced too, she’ll fight her way out from it. XD

3. Sketches Hmm… Well, to be honest, her drawing personality is kind of based from me :0 She rather doodles stuff, so it’s not really certain what she really likes to draw. She pretty much tries to draw what she’s currently feeling. Only when she’s in the mood. :0 If she’s feeling angr, she won’t draw anything. But if she’s feeling sad, she’ll probably pour it all in her sketch book. Like I said, she likes doodling stuff, so her work is mostly unfinished, and doesn’t really use color :0 Only a pencil, eraser to erase the lines made by the pencil, and a pen to finish it off. So only a clean sketch :3 What makes her sit long enough to draw? The atmosphere around her. If she feels ignored, neglected, or everything else that is related to negative feelings, she’ll probably pour it all on her sketch book. Her mind also affects this; if she finds an interesting object to her mind, she’ll make a quick sketch of it. If she’s happy, she’ll doodle pretty random derpy stuff XD

4. Fitting in Well, mostly due to the mockery. Well, her family’s financial is at crisis, so her parents decided to move her on to another school. They also knew that she is mocked by the people around her a lot. And to fit with the money they have, the best school they could pick is Amityville Academy. Well, actually, her father went to this school before, and still got some old friends contacting him. So Ingrid believes that there is hope for people to ‘notice’ her. And if people ignore her, she’ll try to stand out between the crowds, probably by making some mess… So, ignoring her is much more hurtful than mocking / making fun of her. :3

5. FEAR Why thank you :3 *blushes* Okay, let me answer this~ Ah, that’s a good suggestion! C: Doing both would be great. But maybe that’ll be in the second year. :0 In the first year, maybe she’ll just focus on one thing. :3 The type of things she might say is the thing that she think her opponents are most proud off. She’ll insult them. For example, her opponent is mostly proud of her punk – goth fashion style… At least that was Ingrid could see from the opponent’s clothes. Well anyways, she’ll try to insult her opponents, saying her sense of fashion is bad and all. :0 But if this doesn’t work, she’ll probably analyzes the opponent’s appearance (and also personality) to find something the could blabber about XD She could also compliment their fighting stance, but she’ll most likely insult them :3 And yes, she needs to focus to break other’s focus! XD Oh the irony! XD

6. Appearance Cloven hooves. :3 Looks like I didn’t really add that in the reference! D: I FORGOT ASDFGHJKL---- Yes, I know Ingrid is more of a ‘mixed – up’ hippocerf :0 Traits? Well, the ones that belongs to horses are probably the impatient, adventurous, and the outgoing one C: The ones that belongs to the deer is her ‘convenience – first’, and her ‘always being curious’ personality. :3 She also seems flighty enough, which makes that another point for the deer’s trait. :3 Well, the differences of her being part horse part deer is actually… Really confusing people ;0 Due to the fact she has horse ears, deer antlers, and horse legs… With cloven hooves, which is usually deer’s. :l At first, people will mostly think that she is a horse, and the antler is just some accessory XD


Oh, and on the true form reference, I’m still editing it! D: It’s just for color reference… Probably :3 I’ll try to think more of it. :3 Thank you for giving a crit on her! >u<

Hmm yeah, you're right :0 There are a lot of monsters here in TiH XD And about the 'doe' thing , i laughed real hard! XD LOL it was so funny~!

1. Antlers and social status. Ah yes! XD Okay, i'll add it in after this~ :3 Social status... Well, she has financial issues, like i said before :0 Her family couldn't pay much money for her school, that's why they decided to transfer her to another, which is Amityville Academy (refer to the previous post about this C: ). Her family isn't rich, in fact, they're poor. This grants them the 'social status' (the 'status' you get from others when they only know you from your 'cover', not as your 'real you') as 'nobody'. They' aren't usually noticed by others. :3 Am i explaining this clear enough? :0 Because i'm not sure how could i explain this XD

2. Legs. Well, actually her legs are just plain black .__.'' I kinda' changed her 'true - form' thing a few days ago, days after you commented D: Sorry!

3. Diet. Yeah, i'll mention about it later on after this. :3 What's frightening? :0 Does ripping out flesh brutally (i mean by her mouth, and her hooves; by that i mean ripping it with her mouth, but holding some part of it with her hooves, that'll make it easier) sounds... Frightening enough? :0 Well she is a vegan. :0 Actually, she could eat meat if she wanted to, but she can't digest them, due to that she is a hippocerf :l But putting them in her mouth (of course, not eating it, just ripping it out with her mouth) is a - okay... I think .__.'' Forgot the detail that her teeth is a bit 'sharper' than most hippocerf =u= Oh, and she'll clean her mouth afterwards XD

4. Sketches I'll go get my thinking cap and explore more on that o_o'' Well yes, but to her negative feeling which isn't... How could i say this.. Umm... 'Wrecking'. If she's sad, she'll do nothing else than pouring it to her sketch book. When she's mad, well, she'll go after the people who made her angry. :0 Anger is certainly a negative feeling, but Ingrid seems to have a way to kind of 'differentize' it, between sad and angry :3

5. Fitting in I really need to make a huge revamp on this o.o'' Anyways, let me respond to your crit~! C: Well, she picked Amityville Academy since her father has connections there :0 So they figured out that people there might 'won't do much (bad things)' to her, rather than in her old school. Besides, it's kind of cheaper there than her previous school XD Previously, her father didn't quickly enroll her to Amityville (previously she's enrolled in another school which she's teased on, like i stated before), because she figured out enrolling her to a 'prestigious' school might give her family a higher 'social status'. They thought they could pay for the expenses. Turns out, they could only pay for her school in her first 5 months. They would work harder to cover those bills, but eventually Ingrid requested transfer, and so they moved her out to another school, which is Amityville Academy.
I agree with you on this :0 No rivalry or enemies means not much fun in RP's XD Anyways, what do you mean by her father's influence? :0 Does it mean that her father kind of bribes, or asks the school to accept her? If yes, well, actually, her father only suggested her to go to Amityville Academy, since he has connections there, and told her maybe they won't mock her there. Ingrid agrees, and was enrolled in the academy after the test. So yeah, she got in 'purely'. :0

6. FEAR. Love this crit! >u< Probably the last sentence could be placed somewhere in her future plot XD Anyways, fueled rage does make their attacks even stronger, but they lose their patience too C: So probably they won't get their accuracy right, and probably go straight at her.

7. Appearance All 4 - cloven hooves :3 And the horse legs are all 4. On her tail and her face, i modified the physical appearance part on the profile :3 Look on the link~

Alright, thank you! C:
