Kevin loved stamps. Tiny, eclectic, collectible works of art, each and every one of them. Every week, the moment he deposited that pay check it was time to head to the collectibles shop down the road from him and see what new gems could fall into his clutches- then it was a direct route to the flea market for the real finds. He didn't care that he was middle aged, losing his hair, far too under weight, as long as he had his treasure trove stashed in it's lovely green leather suitcase. He didn't need that girl who always talked him up at the stall, he didn't need to pay his bills, he didn't need to eat that week, every dime feeding his obsession. Eventually he lost his job, too distracted, they had said. The apartment was soon to follow... but it didn't matter. So long as he had his lovely green leather suitcase.

Jacob is a grumpy teenager who doubles as a bully. He's a punk stuck in a lanky but strong body who doesn't know how to handle his strength or his temper. He just knows that he's right and the rest of the world is just trying to tell him what to do. He secretly just wants to fit in and be liked but his temper gets in the way.

Jacob was a tired kid. Tired of his parents, tired of not getting his way and tired of being yelled at. The teenager knew that he was smarter then all of them and he was going to prove it. He took one last look at his house with his green suitcase in hand and began to stomp out toward where his dad kept the boats. He was going on an adventure and going to be his own man.

George likes living in his bubble, and that's only the tip of the iceberg. You could call him a social pariah, often ditching away from others to avoid any unnecessary grief. There's a four foot range around George that must be observed in order for him to be comfortable with his surroundings, and even that might not be enough to satiate his insecurities. Timid in nature, he strives to keep his eyes to his own work and will go to great lengths not to derail his own ambition, even if it means allowing social interactions lay by the wayside. Avoidance is his greatest ally to attain said ambition. When that fails and confrontation ensues he has very little option rather than to curl into himself, cower and tolerate what may come his way until the unpleasantness subsides. To others this conveys a sense of snobbishness, which George adores. All the more reason for him to be avoided.

When not avoiding other living beings like the plague, George spends most of his time chasing after the next “perfect moment” with his camera which he stashes in an antique green suitcase passed down from his grandfather. It was said that his grandfather possessed a “great artistic soul” and it has driven George to attempt the same. It was these words that sparked the quest and the hunt for that moment, drilling down into his core a dream of destiny to which he cannot ignore.

Antsy in nature, George has a knack for traveling far and with little notice to when he's going. The freedom to move, freedom to be by himself with his photos is his true goal in life. Forever the search, but never the destination. Only when the “perfect moment” is reached and ensnared by his camera's lens will he be satisfied. But with seeking the freedom of travel and purpose, one must take great care and as George does not, there is no telling where he'll end up or what he'll find in his travels.

Leon simply was a brawler, he enjoyed the act of fist meeting face, especially when it was his own fist doing the hitting, or his foot doing the kicking, he wasn’t picky. It was something about the contact that just made him feel ecstatic. Maybe he had a bad temper that needed a healthy output or maybe he was a tad obsessed with violence, who was to say?

Sure his grades suffered from his addiction, that he trained from early morning’s rise and not long after his classes were done, but he was in it for the rush. He was direct, crass even and not afraid to say what he thought, or go after what he wanted, it was either you go balls to the wall or go home, and going home never sounded like a good option. All he needed was his fighting attire in the green suitcase strapped to his back, and a willing punching bag. It was a true man’s only essential in life.
How much of your sign up characters past, name, and history do they remember?: Not much at all, except how to fight.

Name: Petra
Gender: Female
Age: Older than the green suitcase she carries her peppers in.

Personality: Petra pied-piper'd some pickled peppers; paper pickled peppers positively popping with planned parenthood, proud paternity and prosperity. Pot-belled Papa Papacy, pretending passivity, promised Petra prayer protecting pickled pepper parents -- a pernicious ploy, Papa Papacy preyed on and partitioned Petra's property by persuading the protective patron on a promenade. Possessive, Petra persecuted Papa Papacy... by beating his face in with a brick.

And that was the end of the Pope.

(Note -- Although this is is the name I will likely be using for the real character, the below profile IS a dummy profile. Probably.

Also, considering this isn't really a decent example of my writing, if staff needs one, please let me know and I'll change my form ;;; )

How much of your sign up characters past, name, and history do they remember?: Very little, if anything.

Name: Rika

Personality:

Rika can pretty much be summed up as a cold, narcissistic b***h. "I'm better than you", must have surely been her first words. Behind her pretty looks are a firery temper and the need to always have her way. She has to be adored and looked up to: attention is what she thrives on.

She has always believed that her parents have tried to supress her obvious superiority to everyone else. They're obviously jealous of how awesome their daughter turned out compared to them. So there's only one solution really: leave. She packed her green suitcase (better than yours, of course), and set out into the world. No one has seen her since.

Wysteria Fenns woke on the bed in the white washed room, and sat up to try to discern what was going on. The room had little in it other than a be with black sheets, and a black dresser. The walls and door were white. She wasn't exactly sure how she got there, or what was going on outside of the room, but she knew she didn't want to stay. No matter what had gotten her into the room, Wysteria decided she was going to figure out what was going on.

She didn't like not knowing what happened to her memory, or why she was in this room, this colorless room. Standing from the bed, Wysteria opened the black dresser, finding clothing. All white blouses and black pants or skirts. But there was nothing to do with the clothes, she was already wearing something nearly identical to what she was finding. Turning to the closet next, she opened it to find the only thing with color within the room: a green suitcase.

Now that there was somewhere to put the clothes, she filled the suitcase with everything she could find that would be useful outside of the room. With that finished, she stood facing the door, not sure what came next. Taking a deep breath, she decided to face it anyway, and opened the door to enter the world.

How much of your sign up characters past, name, and history do they remember?: Nothing before this moment.

“I like Star Wars!”

Kevin wasn’t sure anyone had heard him. His brow furrowed as he looked around the densely packed subway car, the other passengers wrapped up in their personal business, apparently unaware of his love for the popular sci-fi franchise. His fingers drummed impatiently against the green suitcase sitting on his lap, anxiety creeping over him as he began to worry that no one would ever know that he liked Star Wars.

“I like Star Wars!” he repeated, voice a few notches louder, tone a touch more aggressive, more insistent. This was a very important fact, perhaps the one that defined his very existence, and if other people didn’t know it how could he be sure that he was a real person? Kevin attempted to focus on Star Wars characters in an attempt to calm himself, mentally rifling through Chewbacca, Yoda, Darth Maul, but finding that not a single one helped him. Not even Obi-Wan.

“I like Star Wars!” Kevin practically screamed, a cold dread filling his chest as his fingers tightly clutched the edge of his suitcase. People purposefully avoided looking at him, his gaze shifting from person to person as they tried desperately not to meet his eyes. Finally, he briefly caught the attention of a young boy sitting across the aisle, who nodded quietly. A moment of silent understanding passing between them.

“That guy knows what I’m talking about!” Kevin smiled, giving the boy a thumbs up before sinking back into his seat in relief.

(To be clear, I am well aware this isn't the character I'll be using to RP. It's just a writing sample.)

Name: Cidney

Personality & History:

Cidney is a young man of a thin stature and fair complexion. He looks as though he's never had more than half a sandwich a day, with clothes seeming to hang off of him like rotting skin that falls off of a zombies bones. He has been known to follow random strays to see what adventures the critters go on, neglecting to remember he had been sent out for milk or what have you. No place was too high or too far for his wanderlust.
The sandy haired boy might be mistaken as slow , but he is more the patient type; or maybe thats an excuse for being laid back.
Slow in the mind he may be, but his body is more skilled than it looks. His main pastime was imitating stunts he had seen on TV.

Girls in his class once braided his shoulder length hair into a series of small braids, and he never bothered to take them out. The girls thought it was because he liked them. In reality, it was too much of a pain just getting one of them out, so he left them as is.

"Go with the flow, and you'll swim in a lake eventually." Good or bad, he takes this motto with him through life's journey. He has been without a place to call home and living out of a green suitcase on the streets. No matter, he uses his break dancing skills to impress people passing by, hoping for some spare change to get by. What does he spend this change on? One would imagine food, or liquor, but this boy seems to be saving for something, only spending enough for one meal a day.

How much of your sign up characters past, name, and history do they remember?:

Nothing.

Jackson is your average...oh alright so he isn't quite your average seventeen year old. Yes. Yes he does only have one arm. Is there a problem with that? No? Good. He didn't think so. What's that? Oh you don't think he can play that game? Fine. He'll just have to prove you wrong. Over ambitious. Like really. He knows he has a handicap. And he knows there are many things people will say he can't do because of it. This doesn't stop him from trying. Because Jack damnit he is going to succeed! Failing means he has to admit he has a handicap. Admit that no, he can't do it because of that handicap. He's also very touchy about this subject and can have quite the attitude about it. It is recommended that you just...don't bring it up at all. Otherwise you might find a very rambunctious and heated boil in your face. Flaws aside, Jackson can be surprisingly friendly. Most of his sour attitude seems to stem from always being told he can't do this or can't do that because he's missing an arm. And the fact he can't actually remember how it happened. Only the haunting nightmares.

Also...he is not sure what to do with a green suitcase. Why is it green? Couldn't he have blue? Or black? WHY GREEN?! Maybe he could make it red? Hit a few people with it. Like those idiots that called him gimpy?

How much of your sign up characters past, name, and history do they remember?: Only his first name and nightmares about how he lost his arm.

Matt is a coward. He would release involuntary discharges of pee into his pants when he was young. Now that he's gotten too big to hide behind his mom, trees and elephants, Matt would curl up in the corner of the room, holding a hugeass bat so he could swat those terrifying ants away. To others, well, that just made him look like one SCARY, malicious and horrible troll.

Despite his looks, Matt has a heart of gold. He is really fond of kitties and would give them bone-crushing hugs (that would explain all those claw marks on his arms). (Though it was only a matter of time,) Matt woke up one day to find all his kitties gone, so he packed his green suitcase and headed out of the door. Alas! Everything was so ghastly and intimidating out there. So he closed his eyes and hurtled straight ahead, mowing over whatever was in his path.

Much like Charlie Sheen, Magnus is winning at everything he does. He wins there, and he wins there because he's bi-winning. He has fire breathing fists and only one speed, "Go". I'm just kidding.

Magnus is your typical undead boil for the most part. He has no hair, it fell out long ago so pierced his head with eight inch spikes giving him a semblance of a mohawk. He is broad shouldered and has a fairly small waist. His spine pokes out the back and his skin is very taut and emaciated. He has pale blue, almost white eyes and usually wears something simple like old biker shoes and worn jeans. He comes across as apathetic unless he is angry or playing the drums. He keeps his drumsticks on him at all times.
How much of your sign up characters past, name, and history do they remember?: He recalls nothing before becoming undead.

Name: Shihab
Personality:Shihab is arrogant, a womaniser, vain and quick to temper.
Shihab has come from a well off background with a long proud lineage and this breeds arrogance, not just within himself but his whole family whom all posses and air of superiority about them. Although he proclaims to be open minded to new experiences the hindrance of dissociating himself from those he deems below himself of course contradicts this.
Shihab much prefers the company of women, of course he likes a laugh and a joke with good company from the same class as his own but that can't compete with the company of a woman but of course he has high standards, again always associating with women he ranks within his own social grouping, which are few and far between. He likes slender attractive women, not always possessing a sharp minds for he likes the idea of being superior to them, seen and not heard. He likes the chase and is a master of being a true gentleman, showering his affections and giving multiple gifts though once he snares a women he quickly losses interest in them.
Shihab will spend ages preening himself like some prize cockerel. He has a weakness for mirrors and will always be found carry at least one at all times in the green suitcase he carries his personal belongings around in. He likes his hair to be just so, though you'd think mastering that 'just got out of bed look' can't really take that much time.
The last predominate characteristic is that Shihab is incredibly quick to temper and will not think twice before letting lose on anyone present at that moment. Messing with his hair is a major offence as well as even looking at the woman he presently has attached to his arm.

Every morning, Harold Freeman went to the Corner Stop to get ham and eggs. He was a man of habit, always had been, and since his first trip to the dingy diner around the corner, he knew that he would be coming there for breakfast for, well, ever. It wasn’t that Harold was incapable of preparing his own ham and his own eggs -- his mother had, in fact, been something of a local Julia Childs in the stuffy suburb where he grew up -- but food cooked in his kitchen lacked a certain spice that made his mornings extra bright.

Her name was Julia.

With his green suitcase in hand, Harold sat at the sticky counter day after day staring longingly at the flat brown back of his lady love. He was a champion of meaningful sighs and dreamy stares, and Julia brought them out in him tenfold. And then a miracle happened -- one fateful morning a burly dishwasher lifted Julia from her display in the front window and promptly dumped her in the garbage. One man’s trash, Harold remembered his mother saying, is another man’s treasure.

It took some digging, but Harold managed to recover his Julia from the dumpster with only marginal grease stains wrinkling her painted blue dress. She was a vision, even there in the garbage, and he could not resist stealing a kiss. Harold didn’t even mind that she tasted like cat urine and potato chips. He could learn to love that taste; he could learn to love anything.

From that day on, Julia and Harold were inseparable.

Most people balked to see a man walking hand-in-hand with a cardboard cut-out. But Harold knew the truth. Of course those gaping passerby couldn’t understand what he and Julia had.

They had obviously never been in love.

How much of your sign up characters past, name, and history do they remember?: Nothing! Tabula rasa.
