Tethys
Immaculate with soulless eyes.
Hot - 1 Cold 0 Volatile 1 Dark 1
Better than nothing Mimicry
Tethys was formed from the grief and pain of a set of parents that had lost their child.
While Tethys keeps the rough appearance of that lost child the eyes reveal that it's humanity is far away.
Tethys is always down to try new things, almost as if it is trying to fill itself with as many experiences as possible, as quickly as possible.
Ooc: I feel like the creation was a sort of wish/ritual thing vaguely ala full Metal alchemist. The intention was good, but the result is... off. I feel like one of the parents is totally fanatic that Tethys is perfect, and the other is generally creeped out by Tethys.

Everything for your PCs look good Probie Tim and shadrack, but you need to pick your look and eyes, Probie Tim. shadrack, it's totally your choice how involved Tethys' parents are, though like most media focusing on teenagers, the default is them being minor characters. I've updated everyone's name and character sheets on RPoL.net, so were almost ready to start with Backstory and assigning Strings. Has anyone heard from gina? I'm guessing she's busy, which is a shame. The Mortal does Backstory last, but we'd still need to know if there's a sixth character. In the meantime, could everyone write a short introduction for their character? Just two or three sentences. You all go to the same high school (I imagine there's only one on the island) and so everyone knows each other. At least superficially. You don't have to be friends or anything, or even know that much about one another, but you all know each others names and faces. Write two or three sentences about what everyone else knows about you. Stuff like where you hang out at school, if you're always dressed up nice, if you're the new kid who arrived last year, if you always have a crowd around you, etc. Stuff that would be obvious to everyone else at school and in the town. You can be as general or specific as you want here, and can revise things based on what other people say. After everyone knows a bit more about everyone else, we'll start assigning Strings.

Katrina moved into town a few years ago, but around school she's mostly know for her position as captain of the swim team, and having recently set a new record for the high school.
She became widely known for being involved in a boating accident this past summer, in which it was thought she was drowned but luckily had been found washed up on the shore, whereas her boyfriend at the time, Carter Stanfield, has yet to be found.
She generally dresses nice, mixing in a hint of old world fashion into her apparel.
[Her creation occurred during the boating accident, in which she had fallen overboard while drinking with Carter, and something inside of her snapped, blaming him for her drowning. When she resurfaced, he was relieved, until she dragged him under with her.]

for Ilina, even though she is an Alt. she is a Transfer Student from a much larger first world landmass. and well, her mother sends her frequent checks to cover her expenses. and yes, her mother is a doctor. doctors tend to be quite loaded. so well, thanks to her mother, she has good grades in first aid and mathematics, but her P.E. grade sucks and well, she tends to have trouble in the Drama class due to her small frame and sweet personality limiting the roles the teacher feels they can assign her. but in primary school, she played the most adorable Tiamat ever.

Is this a freeform, descriptive thing? Or did I miss something from the rules/playbook?

Is this a freeform, descriptive thing? Or did I miss something from the rules/playbook? the look and eyes are purely descriptive, but the playbook has a few suggestions that generalize around a specific theme generally a short descriptor for look and a short descriptor of a key eye detail.

Yeah. Each Skin has six or so looks and eyes to pick from next to your name choices. You need an origin, too. That's near the bottom of the first page.

Even rich parents have bad kids. And Arabella's not a good kid. She can be found out behind the gym at lunchtime, suckering the wannabe greaser kids into forking over their lunch money either in a game of cards, or a game of craps, or whatever.
She spends a lot of her "free" time at the bakery, the latest in a series of small-to-midsize shops around town that her family's bought since they got here. Her family's pretty new, but not new new, you know? She joined the rest of the class around grade 4 or 5. The odd thing about her family is that aside from her and a couple (presumably) siblings, nobody from her family mingles much. Her parents haven't attended parent-teacher conferences in the past 4 years, for example. If they weren't seen fairly often (in the bakery, in the yard, or otherwise in places that don't generally leave them susceptible to random conversation). The rumour is they either don't speak english... or maybe they're just assholes.
While her "friends" like to try to dress like a bunch of tough hoodlums, she decidedly does not. She likes to be tailored, sleek, and smooth in her dress. If anything, she is almost overdressed for a school day: she loves a good suit and vest.

Has anyone heard from gina ? I'm guessing she's busy, which is a shame. The Mortal does Backstory last, but we'd still need to know if there's a sixth character. There is, there is! (day off got eaten by a bear or by having to work on said effing day off because one of my managers was sick, one of those things) All rpol'd up, posting Mortal char schtuff today...

All right. So that's everyone. I've added you to the game and made a character sheet for you gina. As soon as you detail your Mortal and pick their moves, I'll update your character sheet.
