Name: Torchwood "Torchie" Lastnameunknown
Age: toddler
Species: Frickin' Timelord

Torchwood is in ways a ridiculous handful, and in others, a deceptively easy baby. He's ridiculously kind, and fairly even tempered. He likes everyone, which is kind of a blessing and a curse. He loves strangers, especially, and takes to them just as well as his guardian. Coupled with his innate and insatiable curiosity, this spells trouble with a capital T (that rhymes with P that stands for pool!) whenever Raife's in any crowded public area. That said, however, it's kind of hard to tell whether he really bonds deeply with anybody above others. He's the type to have a lot of good friends, but not really any great ones.

The rare moments where he's calm are where he really shines, however. He seems to have kind of an "old soul." And in odd moments, will show wisdom behind his meager years.

It's hard to keep him focused on any one thing however, and he hates to be forced into things. He prefers to go his own way. Independent, stubborn.

Powerwise, it's hard to tell what he can or can't do at this stage, being, well, a baby. He's got the signature two-hearts of a time-lord, and he came out of the cabbage with some ridiculously complicated zappy doohickey, but Raife's got that locked up in a chest for right now.

Guardian

Name: Raife
Age: Unknown

While Raife may not be wiser (or seemingly older) than when he first moved to Gaia, he's settled down a lot, and he's certainly a lot wearier. Torchwood is his fourth adopted kid (all boys!), but it doesn't make it any easier, it seems.

He's generally a kind and patient sort, to a fault, as he's more likely to let the kids run wild, naked in the yard, before reining them in in any way. This sort of passivity is a result of his dealings with Mikhael, his first charge. After that (continuing!) stress, everything else seems fairly negotiable.

He's a genderbender, switching at whim between male and female, but, while their personalities are a little different (female Raife seems to be sharper than male Raife), their general histories are the same, and they ARE the same person.

His past life remains largely a mystery.

It's been a year or two since the ranch house has had the pitter patter of tiny feet echoing through its rambling halls, but it's no less the forgiving, just like Raife.

Family

User ImageHead of house, Raife is often absent minded, but fairly goodhearted. He does what he can for his family, and, seeing as he's the sole support, that's a lot.




User ImageShiftless, kind and good with kids, Trance is an ersatz babysitter, when he's not drifting and causing trouble. Everyone somehow loves him. Except Lana. Guardian of Connor. He's not around as much anymore, and is trying to raise the boy in his own apartment.




User ImageDeclan is in his late childhood, and probably the most prominent young presence in the house. That said, he keeps to himself mostly, and is not much for human interaction. He appreciates his young brother's sense of curiosity and innate intelligence, however, but finds him mostly a bit of an oddity.




User ImageSweet and friendly, nobody dislikes Connor. He's a little thick headed sometimes, but young enough to make it work. Wherever Trance goes, Con goes, so we see him around occasionally.




Mikhael, Raife's oldest child, is currently not in residence.

RP Requirements
(This is for me, not you.)


Solo Entry » Any story or diary entry written by you alone. May be a story, or "Dear Diary" format. 400+ words.
Closed Roleplay » A roleplay between you and one or two other people, conducted privately. 1000+ words
Open Roleplay » A roleplay which is open for anyone to join, or a private roleplay involving four or more people. There is no length requirement for Open RPs, but you must personally write at least 500 words and post at least three times. (This is to prevent anyone from making a single post in an Open RP just to try and get growth credit.)

All growth requirements are flexible. If you prefer one type of roleplay over another, you can exchange requirements at the following rate:


4 Solo Entries » 2 Closed RPs » 1 Open RPs

The requirements given for each stage are minimum requirements. You are welcome to write more than what is required. In fact, we encourage it!

Because most people find roleplaying a cabbage or baby to be frustrating, the growth requirements for those stages are intentionally small. Child, teenager, and youth stages are considerably more involved, to allow for the full character development possibilities those stages represent.


Stage One » The Cabbage
Requirements » 2 diary posts of any type (diary entry, solo story, or joint roleplay)
All children begin as cabbages, but roleplaying the cabbage stage is optional. You can find more information here. At least one of your posts must be:

A » Caring for the cabbage plant, X
B » Making the decision to adopt an infant, and/or
C » Introducing your primary guardian character(s) X


Stage Two » The Baby
Requirements » 1 Closed or Open RP, 4 Solo Entries

Stage Three » The Child
Requirements » 5 Open RPs, 6 Closed RPs, 8 Solo Entries

Stage Four » The Teenager
Requirements » 8 Open RPs, 10 Closed RPs, 19 Solo Entries

Stage Five » The Youth
Requirements » 6 Open RPs, 10 Closed RPs, 15 Solo Entries

Once you have reached Youth, you have a choice as to how to proceed.

Option One » Young Adult
Requirements » 2 Open RPs, 4 Closed RPs, 9 Solo Entries
With this option, your Youth art becomes your official Adult image. Your character is "officially" a twentysomething adult.

Option Two » Full Adult
Requirements » 8 Open RPs, 14 Closed RPs, 24 Solo Entries
With this option, you receive a new piece of official art for the Adult stage. This could indicate a final character age of 25+, meaning a character in their thirties, forties, or older is possible.

Rules

1: Posting
You may only post here if you are affiliated with the Cabbage Patch (Owner, Staff), if you're Star, or if you have direct permission from yours truly. When in doubt, ask! I don't bite. Also, please turn off your sigs. Just as a courteous gesture.
2: Concept
The concept of the Cabbage Patch shop and Torchie's art belongs to Em. Don't steal it. This particular concept is very obviously adapted from Doctor Who. All other art in the thread belongs to each respective artist.
3: Breeding and Sale
The answer is no. No, I will not sell him. No you cannot have his babies. He's a baby himself, for chrissake.
4: Other
These rules are subject to change and grow or shrink at any time if I feel the need.
