Welcome to Gaia! ::

IC

Name: Georgina Bethany Bonney
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Unsure. I'll just be safe and say bisexual.
Species: Human (Dream-corrupt)
Any Children?: Not technically, but I've taken care of Ollie for close to three years. He's like a son and a brother and a pet all in one.
About Me:
I am Georgina, here me roar! Okay, well, I wouldn't actually roar, but I'm happy that I am myself. Here are some tidbits about me: I walk on tiptoe whenever I'm not wearing shoes, I have a mild obsession with elephants and goldfish, I hate driving and cars, I think most reptiles are cute, and I can be pretty blunt when I'm talking. Sometimes I can get a little touchy-feely, and if I consider you a friend, I'm more apt to greet with a hug than just a hello. To earn my daily bread, I run an antique shop in Durem, with the store on the first floor of my building and my living-space up above it. There is also a hole in my head that you can see daylight through, just for fair warning. I think that should be it...
Hobbies:
Just about everything under the sun. No, really. The stuff I do most frequently in my spare time would be reading, knitting, and kite-flying. I cook, too, but even if I'm good at it, it's mostly because I have to make my own meals and not out of pleasure.
Talents:
I can sing a bit, but that's mostly for in the shower and when Ollie has trouble falling asleep and needs a lullaby. Oh, and I can make a mean pot of chicken alfredo.
Looking For:
A guy (or even a girl) that can put up with me and to share some good times. Perhaps even someone to settle down with and have children, but I'm not gonna aim too high. Dating services are dodgy like that.
Other
I haven't had the time or the motivation to actively get into the dating scene before. Whoever is out there, go easy on my ignorance!

OOC

Player: Korini
About Me:
I'm a young lady who should be doing something constructive and school-related instead of writing this! I can be bossy at times, my self-esteem is low, and my sense of humor offends the girls who sit around me at lunch time. According to reliable sources, I'm gullible and upbeat, and I won't try to make any positive observations on myself because I'm deathly afraid of coming off as self-centered. I let things slide pretty quickly, and if you're busy or you need to leave early when you're talking to me, I can just smile it off and take it in stride.
Likes/Dislikes (IN RP):
I like prompt replies and action that doesn't take fifty small-talking posts to start off. My attention span is a little lacking, though, and I can sort of let a roleplay trickle off if it lacks excitement. My biggest vice is that I can (and will) try to correct my partner's spelling and/or grammar mistakes. But besides all of that, I love roleplay, and I won't turn anyone down if they ask me. Oh yeah, and if you want sex, sure. I'm okey-doke with that.
Style:
Third person, narrative. Since I do a lot of reading, sometimes my style shifts a bit to mirror somebody else's (bad habit), and I have an urge to add in parenthetical bits and random large words. Those last two features I can blame almost wholly on my English class. I can get a bit long-winded when it comes to opening posts, but other than that I keep things short and to the point. Three or four paragraphs is me on a good day, two is my standard, one is when I am feeling particularly 'blah'.
Availability:
I'm on Gaia not-quite daily, and due to school/homework I usually log on around 5 PM EST or later on weekdays. Weekends will see me sometime around noon. With the summer, expect my activity to go way, waaay up. I'm on just about every instant messenger under the sun, so if you want to OOC chat with me or do a private roleplay, we can exchange screen-names any time.
What I want for the character:
Adventure! Romance! Entertainment! It's like a chick flick that me and another person get to write. <3
Other:
I wish I was cool, but I'm really kind of a nerd.

IC

Name: Jaelle Nicu Grastari
Age: 29
Gender: Female
Sexuality:
Species: Human
Any Children?: Two, now, non-biological. Male and Female. My sister is their main caretaker as I'm usually busy with work. However, I am the one listed on paper...
About Me: I'm a psychiatrist that is rather respected in her field, and also one of the Romani, gypsy, I suppose. I'm not a very emotional woman. I smoke cloves sometimes and I like a corona with lime after work. My work really is my life since I've given up the clan.

Hobbies: I work a lot. I also write regularly. I used to paint a lot.

Talents: Not many worth noting... I have good intuition.

Looking For: Well... If it comes to men, I really don't like them to be feminine or weak. I'm a take charge sort of woman and I like a secure man that's willing to... I don't know, be himself? But not too much himself. I hate vulgarity. Women, though... I can appreciate women. Real women, with curves and... Attitude. I suppose if I over think it, a woman with the temperment of my sister, Aishe would probably be good for me. Someone active.

Other I'm not interested in a nosy person, or someone who wants to get married right off the bat. My career is the first thing in my life.

OOC

Player: Indubitably, Indu, Dare... Lord Swishyclit
About Me: I ******** rock. I'm a independent young woman that lives by herself, is black, irish, native american and persian, and dates women. I also happen to be pretty foxy. 8D AND CHARMING.

Likes/Dislikes (IN RP): I like mostly proper grammar, I LOVE things to be spelled correctly, and I like my roleplays to be focused on character development, rather than action. I really don't like one dimensional characters, perfect characters, or roleplayers who are unwilling to take risks or let their characters have bad things happen to them, on occasion.

Style: I write in paragraph form and break rules often if it suits my mood, like incomplete sentences for emphasis and such. I like to think my style is interesting! I know I'm a good roleplayer and I'm also highly realistic in my writing. I'd like to say that at least 1 out of every 3 paragraphs is usually devoted to internal feelings and thought. I write from a third person, selective god perspective.

Availability: Hrm, well, I'm less available than I'd like for a little while, but as Noz knows, I am usually online a LOT. Once my internet is finished installing, I'll be back to my regular amounts of online time.

What I want for the character: Jaelle needs to have FUN, as well as get back to her roots as an heir of her romani clan. Currently, she's removed herself as much as possible from her gypsy heritage, other than association with her younger sister, who is highly active in Clan activities. Her adoptive son, Nicolae, will become a romani seer, so, she needs to get back into the fold. biggrin

Other: Jaelle has quite a bit of romani magic, however, she doesn't discuss it or use it anymore. Her sister, however, has a smaller amount and does all she can ritually to use it.

IC

Name: Delucca Sunday
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Sexuality: I don’t know. What does “I don’t really care about gender” count under?
Species: Human, so far as I know
Any Children?: Um….no. Not unless one of the local kooky adoption agencies decides to foist some off on me.
About Me: I’m a 5’8” waitress with skin tattooed to look like a Kachina Clown. Don’t ask, I don’t think even I know WHY I look like that anymore. I think part of the reason had to do with dealing with idiots in high school, but at this point, my memories of any motivations I had at that point are kind of vague. That’s also when I got the rainbow dreadlocks and the majority of the piercings.

Anyway, I’ve kinda toned it down since I was a teenager. I still have the dreads-I like them, what can I say?-and the piercings-I just don’t wear them-and the crazy skin, but I don’t dress like I’m going clubbing anymore. Mostly it’s jeans and t-shirts, stuff for work really. That’s really one of the only times I leave the house. It’s not really that I’m a shut-in, it’s more I just don’t really have anything else to do and I enjoy my job. Some of the people I hung out with when I was younger were always trying to get me to go clubbing with them, and that kinda turned me off to going out in groups. I don’t get many dates-well what do you expect from a girl who looks like a punk and acts like she’d rather be working?-so that sort of company is out. That, and I’m picky as all get out, in both friends and dates. I’m not particularly social-I’m nice enough, let’s face it, you’ve gotta be with my job-but I don’t really want to bother with going out and trying to find people to spend time with, when I could have just as much fun watching movies or reading books by myself. It’s much easier to appreciate solo entertainment when you deal with people asking you annoying questions about your life day in and day out. I don’t really like talking about myself-be surprised you got this much out of me-and I especially don’t feel like divulging my past to anyone. It’s my business and if I felt like sharing, I’d tell you without having to be asked.

Blah, I really don’t feel like messing with this section anymore. I probably left out PLENTY of things about me, but honestly, I don’t care. If you can find someone who’ll date me at this point, I think the material I already covered should be the worst of what they’d have to deal with dating me.

Hobbies: Enchanted Glass Blowing. I’ve been doing it since I was in elementary school, and it’s kinda fun. It’s a weekend thing I go to. The school it’s taught at is a small magic school a ways outside of the town I live in. I wasn’t particularly into the magic scene when I was young, don’t really care about it, but Glass Blowing sounded interesting since I saw a documentary on it when I was seven and wanted to try it sense. The enchantment brings it to a whole new level of interesting, to say the least, and I don’t really have to bother with too many people for it.

I also collect and read books on mythology and fortune telling from around the world, and I’m starting to collect items that’d be considered magical in other cultures. Again, not really for the magic portion of it, but other cultures are simply fascinating. I like seeing what other people think, but anyway. Again, talking too much.

Talents: I’m pretty decently at the artistic design portion of the EGBing, and I can read rather quickly. I’m told I’m rather talented at being able to balance a large number of mugs on a tray and have them given out quickly to all of the right people, but I consider that just a byproduct of having my job for as long as I have. Oh, and I’m good with hair, apparently-though come on, with hair like mine, I have to know at least some about how to deal with the stuff. I work hard to maintain the upkeep on my dreads so they don’t get nasty and so the color doesn’t go sour.

Looking For: Someone I can have intelligent discussions with, I guess, who knows the value of a night spent chilling out with a good book after a hard day at work. And someone who won’t bug me about my past or appearance too much.

Other: –shrug- nothing to really fill in here at the moment.


OOC
Player: [Dg]
About Me: I’m pretty chatty really. I like to talk but I don’t always have the right thing to say. I’m pretty nice I think, and cheerful most of the time. I’m not too sure of my abilities but I’m trying my best. I don’t like being yelled at or pushed too much at stuff. I also haven’t got a clue where I’m going with this section so I’ma just leave it alone. XD (copypastaed from Hatty’s profile since my preferences haven’t really changed)

Likes/Dislikes (IN RP): Well, I’m not up for much OMGACTION! in RPs. I don’t really do fight scenes well, and I’m squeamish about Rping sex, so I’d prefer to just stick strictly with fade to black. I don’t think the characters shouldn’t be allowed to have intimate relations and I don’t mind establishing OOC that it did happen, but I’m not too keen on Rping it out is all.

Style: I tend to do about 1-2 small to medium paragraphs per post. That number can fluctuate depending on the situation. There’s only so much I can do in some situations, and a ton I can do in others. I tend to not go into exact detail with my character’s thoughts, or if I do, I don’t notice it. I tend to only RP in 3rd person, past tense. First person gets a little weird for me, which is probably why I don’t describe thoughts in detail. However, I do highly enjoy describing my character’s appearance and saying how the setting looks is a bit fun too. :3 I have no actual problem starting RPs other then the fact that I’m lazy and don't want to do it XD But if you actually don’t want to and we have stuff worked out, I can start.

Availability: I’m usually on for a while every day. Unless I’m really sick, but even then I’ll show up for at least an hour.

What I want for the character: I think what I’d like for Delucca is a person who she can actually have a good time with-she doesn’t get out much mostly cause there’s nothing much to do ‘out’. Someone who can give her a reason to go have some fun instead of just hanging around her apartment would be highly appreciated.

Other: Since Delucca isn’t really the type to properly describe herself, I’m just going to put a quote of what I entered on her contest form for her description and personality. You guys may have a record of it somewhere, but I’m forgetful so yeaaaaaaah…..anyway.

Description: 5 foot 8 inches of lean mean coffee delivering machine, that’s what Lucca is. Working at a waitress at a rather prominent café has left has left a mark on her fashion-her clothes tend to look like her work uniform, lest that be inappropriate for the occasion. Blue jeans or Khaki shorts adorn her lower half, down to her comfortable black sandals. Her top half is usually sporting a simple t-shirt-usually in shades of grey or blue-that usually has a notepad of some kind in the breast pocket.

Most first time customers of the café Miss Sunday is employed at tend to gawk at her appearance, and for good reason. Her plain attire tends to be used to tone down her almost exotic looks, though that doesn’t work as well as some would hope. For no reason she cares to explain, Delucca has chalk white skin, with thick black horizontal stripes that look rather sleek and feel quite smooth in contrast to the chalky look of the tones of the rest of her skin. The stripes cover her entire body, save her hands, feet, and head. Her right arm has a large colorful tattoo of a rose upon it, giving most that see her arms the impression that the stripes on white may just be natural.

Delucca’s hair is styled in thick long multi-colored dreadlocks, a style she acquired when she was 13 and wanted to piss off her parents and ended up liking too much to get rid of. Her hair could, in several ways, be considered her pride and joy, so she takes ample care of it, washing it regularly and making sure the coloration is kept up properly. At work, her mass of dreads is kept up upon her head in a rather thick ponytail, but when hanging lose, the rainbow mass extends to about her mid-thighs.

At work, Delucca’s makeup is simple-a light coating of lipgloss on her thick pink lips (how they managed to not be white too, one can never get out of her), gentle lining of black upon her eyes, and a bit of rouge and blush on her cheeks for effect. Outside, her lipstick tends to be electric blue, and she wears a large silver lip ring on the left side of her lower lip. Each of her lobes has two spiked studs in it, and she has a ring in her left eyebrow. Her nose-whether at work or home-bears a small round silver stud on the left side. Her body looks rather strange in conjuncture with her clothes, but it really never was anyone’s business whether or not their waitress looks pretty, so long as she’s presentable, now was it?

Personality: For a woman who looks like she belongs in a night club at all times, Delucca has the personality of somebody who would never be caught dead in one. Not much for crowds of people, overly loud atmospheres and club music, Delucca likes a nice night at home watching movies on the couch in her pajamas all by herself. A pleasant person, with a cheerful demeanor and a patient attitude gained from years of dealing with rather irksome customers, she tends to take pride in a person who doesn’t grate on her nerves just the same. A lady who enjoys her privacy and likes to focus on the here and now or on the future, she isn’t one to go into her past very readily. What has happened, has happened, and it has marked her in some way or another. To her it isn’t the importance of what happened so much as what it’s affect on her was. She is who she is, why is none of your business, and you will just have to deal with it, thank you very much. Now, do you want another refill of that latte, something else, or shall I just bring your bill?

IC

Name: Jezerah Silverman
Age: 37 years old.
Gender: Female.
Sexuality: Bisexual.
Species: Human. Mostly. At least, I'm pretty sure I'm mostly human.
Any Children?: Yes. If that's going to be a problem, do us all a favor and stop reading.

About Me: Still here? Well then. I'm a single mother who works an erratic schedule that usually has me out most nights and during the day while Samantha's at school. I don't do much else aside from working and taking care of Sam. I guess I fell into a rut or something after her father a while back. So, I'm trying something different. My daughter's making me. Samantha's my world, so again, if you don't like kids, but for whatever reason, you're still reading? Seriously, put this profile down, go on to someone else.

I don't know if I can assure you that I'm nicer in person then not, you'll have to meet me to find out.

Hobbies:
I don't think I really have any of these, I don't have much free time.

Talents:
I can take apart a gun and I can get Sam dressed, fed, and on the school bus in four minutes if I have to.

Looking For: Someone who's not going to bolt the first time they meet Samantha. Face it, if we're going to be dating, it'll be inevitable. Someone who's not gonna run at all I don't like liars, cheaters, scammers, or thieves. But don't get me wrong, I don't want some goody good guy, either. I want someone with faults, like everyone else in the world. It'll help if you're cute.


Other
I really have nothing to put here.

OOC

Player: Adona Benedicta, Adona, AB... If you call me Benny, it might take a while before I realize you're talking to me. >.> No one ever makes a short name out of my last name. It emos about it.
About Me: I'm erratically hyper, odd, and I tend to shy out of big threads because I get nervous about being ignored. I tend to rant, so if you don't want me to rant at you, just say so. Especially about stupid things my family will do at least one time out of the day. I am stepping into my foray of full-time working, so I'm not sure of my schedule just yet, but I'll be finding that out relatively soon and will have a more definite time to be on. Until I get my schedule, I tend to give out notices if I won't be on because I'm a Temp. Worker, which pretty much means I go wherever I'm sent. XD! Also. I am 18. :3 (I'm excited, damnit, it took a lot of years to get here. :< )

Likes/Dislikes (IN RP):
I like to see my characters changing from one RP to the next. Gradual or straight away. I don't mind dramatic scenes, but I like funny stuff, too. Whatever the plot calls for, let's do it. I especially want to see Jezface here start to trust people again. She has issues. Also, I have an issue writing out violence/action. I don't know why, it might stem from my inherent dislike of movies based on violence and/or action, but I can't write it very well. I don't mind playing out sex, but I don't see the point in it unless it's a big plot movement. (Especially since it can't be posted on Gaia anyway.)

If there's something specific you want to ask me about, because I am very certain I left out a whole bunch that I just can't think of at this present moment? Go ahead and ask! There are no stupid questions. :3

Style:
I can punch out two-three paragraphs easily, fairly good sized ones too, not two or three lines. At a stretch, I can do three paragraphs and more, but I tend to burn out after a few posts of those big ones and won't reply for a day or two. And since I like a speedy RP, I'd really prefer not to burn out. I will try to match my partner's post in length, but I can't always gaurentee that. I can, however, gaurentee that it will NOT be a one-liner or one-paragraph post. I always try for at least two. I RP in third person past-tense, because that's how I've always done it, and it's just weird for me to switch into third person present or first person. XD I am capable of doing AIM logs if you want, but obviously posts will be dramatically shorter. Again, I'll try to match the response I'm given, but... I prefer boards, because they're just easier for me to reply to in the event one of us has to leave.

Availability:
I'm on a lot. Like I mentioned before, I'm not really certain what my work schedule will be at this point in time, so I can't put down days I'm available, but until I get my schedule and actually start working? I am on... a lot. I'm an Eastern Standard Timer, but I'm usually on later in the day/into the night.

What I want for the character:
Jezerah's history has given her a hard time trusting anyone. Men, especially. I want someone who, gender be damned, will help Jezerah to start trusting people again. She won't speak of her past, she won't speak much of her present, because she is a firm believer that whoever she happens to be seeing will see Samantha and bolt. She doesn't blame Samantha, she blames the person who runs.

Someone who likes kids is necessary. Jezerah's first concern is and always will be Samantha. If Jezerah finds someone who tries to push her into revealing more about herself, she will push back. This is someone who needs someone to take it slow and not push it. She's new to the dating scene, and she's putting one foot after the other instead of just diving in. XD

Other: I would love it if you have AIM, YiM, MSN, or something so we can chat and plot over a messenger. Also, if I forget to reply, just poke me, because I do tend to forget to check and see if it's my turn or not. I'm usually on Gaia and in a multitude of threads, even if I'm not posting. (I are lurker ninja, y0.) So odds are, I'll see it. XD
