[size=1][font=veranda][color=indigo]I, personally, do not know any gay men. I do, however, know one lesbian woman, and plenty of bisexuals. Of course, being bi myself would help with the fact that I have no problem with it. A lot of people think that all people who think they are straight, are actually bisexual. But, as it is a social 'taboo', they have no desire to explore it, and thus, never discover their gay/lesbian side. Another thing: do all you(who don't like homosexuality) really think we have control over who we're in love with, and who are body is attracted to? Can I help it that I fell in love with another girl? This girl is straight, and I know she doesn't love me back like I love her. We're still bestfriends, but are in no intimate relationships with one another. Do you think I would volunterilly(sp?) fall head over heels for someone I knew would never love me back they way I loved her? That question is the same for any bi, gay, or lesbian person. DO you really think we have a choice? Rantage over. :) Rhian[/size][/font][/color]

She has very few friends, and does not usually assert herself. She has no courage, and meeting new people is very hard for her. Although highly intelligent, she keeps to herself and her books, and she never speaks to anyone. She will answer if called upon in class, but will not voluntarily give an answer. She falls apart whenever a guy is around, and can never talk to one. [b]Extra Notes:[/b] Kiri?s father was always apart of her life, and she loved him dearly. He died a couple years ago, and since then, her mother?s abuse has gotten worse. She fears her mother, and that someone will find out. She is also a new arrival to the Institute. [b]Love:[/b] Kiri knows no one, as she is a new student.[/size][/font][/color]

Of course, she still hangs out near them, and dreams. But, that is all she [I]can[/I] do ? dream. [b]Bio:[/b] Editing Hope this is okay.[/size][/font][/color]

[size=1][font=veranda][color=indigo]WHat they said. Mostly because I'm having a hard time getting my character to interact, but also for their reasons. ^_^ (Oh, and thank you, Morgon's player! APologies for forgetting your name, but thanks fo rincluding me!)[/size][/font][/color]

[size=1][font=veranda][color=indigo]You know I love yah. Meow. Heh, not bad. ^_^ I'm not very good at adding font to things, because I only have MS Paint. Thus, when I do use font, I add a solid bg. You could animate it? *thinks about it* You know, I dun think I"ve ever had an animated anything. And I'm not asking for anything specific; just Chii, lotsa red, and a dreamy feel to it.[/size][/font][/color]

[size=1][center][color=indigo][font=veranda][b]Lishka Firebranch[/b] [u]Middle Ages[/u] ?I never heard her say a word. But when she looked at you, you knew what she meant for you to know. It was frightening; her witch green-grey eyes haunted you. One would be warned to avoid her gaze.? ~*~ I was cold; dark chestnut hair whipped about my face as the wind bit through the heavy cloak slung over my shoulders. I bit my lip to keep from trying to curse (as it hurt to do so), and warm blood dribbled down my chin. I brought one slim, brown hand to it, and tasted the blood. It was salty. A small red drop fell onto my mare?s black neck, and she turned her head to regard me with dark brown eyes. What I read in that expression no one else would have seen. I patted her silky mane in reassurance, and she snorted, continuing her trot. I sat back, the reins looped over the saddle horn. I pulled the hood of my cloak tighter about my face, and kept my legs tight against the barrel of my mare?s body. We spotted lights in our path, and she sped up, doing a full out gallop. I guided her with my legs and shifting of weight. ?[b]Hail, lady![/b]? I took the reins in my hands, and slowed the horse. I nodded respectfully. ?[b]You the healer they sent?[/b]? I nodded again. The man looked up to me, and I was surprised to meet eyes the same color as mine. ?[b]You talk?[/b]? Despite being mute, I felt compelled to tell him who I was. To tell him everything. I shook my head. His eyes dropped to my hands, which started to move in sign. He watched for a moment, and then nodded. ?[b]You?re mute. Lishka?[/b]? I nodded affirmative. I signed something, and then his eyes widened. ?[b]Firebranch?[/b]? I nodded, curios about his shock. ?[b]That?s my last name.[/b]? Our eyes met, and I signed, ?[b]Micah.[/b]? He nodded, and I slid off the horse, into his arms. Brother and sister. ?[b]Farmer Bent told me about a girl. ?Never any good. Never said yes sir, no sir.? I never knew who he meant.[/b]? Me. He meant me.[/color] Whee! Fun that was. I think I will like this game.[/size][/font][/center]

[size=1][font=veranda][color=indigo]Heyla! If someone could mess around with my current banner and avi (or create a new one), I would greatly appreciate it! [b]If changing the original:[/b] could you make the background swirling and misty, and add my name on it? With the avi, just make the edges misty. [b]Creating a new one:[/b] Could you make it sort of a dreamy picture, with a lot of red on it, and just Chii? My name would be preferable, but other than that, go crazy with it. Not overboard, though. And with the avi, Chii's face, and my name. DO what you want with them. I'm wanting something to match my mood, which is 'Hi I'm not here right now, but I still love you' type of thing. LMAO. Please and Thank you! (You will get cred in my sig.)

[size=1][font=veranda][color=indigo]OOC: So sorry for hardly ever posting! I wasn?t expecting all the crap that got dumped on me! IC: Erika watched, eyes half closed, as Sarek and the others made plans for Li?s burial. She felt out of place, and felt slightly guilty for making Sarek accept her. ?[b]Erika?[/b]? The girl?s head snapped up, and she looked straight into Sarek?s eyes. ?[b]Anyone home?[/b]? She dropped her eyes in respect. ?[b]I?m sorry, Sarek. I didn?t mean-[/b]? Sarek cut her off with a short bark-like laugh. ?[b]Sorry? For what?[/b]? Gold eyes lifted to meet his. ?[b]For burdening you. I shouldn?t have insisted. Maybe then your friend would still be alive.[/b]? Sarek looked at her. ?[b]How could that have prevented it?[/b]? Erika sighed. ?[b]One small thing can overbalance the whole system.[/b]? She shifted, and then stopped leaning on the wall. ?[b]I?m going to wander.[/b]? She left them, her mind wandering before she was even out of sight. [I]What about that girl? Li? ? She was important to them? And what does that matter to you? I feel as if it was my fault. Why? If I had been able to kill that woman ?[/I] The voice in the back of her mind sneered at her. [I]You couldn?t have, and you know it. I know this. But I wish I could have.[/I] Erika found herself in a blank, dimly lit hallway. ?[b]Great, now I?m lost.[/b]? She muttered to herself. She sat down, up against the wall, and closed her eyes. She sent her mind out, trying to take hold of another mind; Erika knew she had telepathy, if only she could figure out how to use it? [I]Sarek?[/I][/size][/font][/color] You can choose if she was successful or not. Again, apologies for not posting.

[color=indigo][font=veranda]OOC: *pokes* Yesh, I live, but I won?t post often. IC: Cassie smiled sleepily. Connor?s arm was wrapped gently around her waist, and his body was firm and warm against hers. Their knees were bent, locked together. Cassie whispered, before Connor fell asleep, ?Love you?? ~Dream~ Cassie dribbled the basketball down the court, and passed to a girl on her left. ?Shoot it, Maddison!? The brunette shot the ball, and it flew into the hoop. ?Yes!? The two highfived as the buzzer went off. Their team had won. Cassie smiled at her team mates, and then looked over at the bleachers. A boy looked back at her. He was about 10, but very short and skinny. His dark blue eyes and sandy blonde hair stood out in the crowd. She ran over to him. ?Did you see the goal I scored for you, Mikey?? The younger boy hugged her tightly. ?Thanks, Cocoa.? The boys parents watched them, smiling. ?Cassie, we really appreciate what you?re doing for Mike.? The blonde smiled. ?Aw, its nothing. He?s a really cool kid.? A day later, Cassie was at school. A teacher took her aside, and told her. The girl was devastated. Mikey had been killed by a drunk driver, on the way to school with his mom. His mom was in the hospital. Cassie watched the scene play over and over in her head, the tires screeching on the pavement, the screams of the young boy and his mother, and the limp bodies. She watched the accident on the news, and now it stayed with her forever. ~End~ Cassie woke with a gasp, and her body was shaking. She had broken out in cold sweat. ?No?? She curled up tighter, and Connor woke halfway to hug her reassuringly. She snuggled down next to him again, but couldn?t sleep.[/color][/font]

[color=indigo][font=veranda]Cassie was sitting stock still with shock. She had to absorb what he said, and before it could process, Connor bolted. He turned, and was out of the house in a flash. Cassie was on her feet and after him in less than a second. The last thing Cassie missed on her way out was Charles? heartbroken eyes following her. Connor was running down the path, and she managed to speed up long enough to catch up. The blonde was thankful that she was wearing jeans, a spaghetti strap shirt, and tennis shoes instead of a skirt. The long-legged teen easily caught up with him, and spun him around to face her. It was a bad move; their momentum sent them sprawling on the ground, and the two rolled to a stop at the edge of the lake. Cassie looked down from on top of Connor, her hands (one either side of his shoulders) placed palm down on the ground. Her blue eyes were desperate as Connor managed to stutter something. Cassie stopped it abruptly ? her lips gently pressed to his. Connor?s eyes widened with shock, and then Cassie lifted her head from him, and managed to whisper, ?Connor, me too.? OOC: Tag![/color][/font]

[size=1][font=veranda][color=indigo]Well, I absolutely am in love with every single song by Amy Lee. ^_^ Those are definitely deep. But one I would say is pretty good is Whisky Lullaby, by Alison Krauss and Brad Paisley. Another good one would be Still Holding Out For You, by SheDaisy. (If you?ll notice, I like country music.) [b]Whisky Lullaby-[/b] She put him out Like the burning end of a midnight cigarette She broke his heart He spent his whole life trying to forget We watched him drink his pain away A little bit at a time But he never could get drunk enough To get her off his mind Until the night He put the bottle to his head and pulled the trigger He finally drank away her memory Life is short But this time it was bigger Than the strength he had to get up off his knees We found him with his face down in the pillow With a note that says I?ll love her till I die And when we buried him beneath the willow The angels sang a whiskey lullaby La x 7 La x 7 La x 7 La x 7 The rumors flew But nobody knew How much she blamed herself For years and years She tried to hide the whisky on her breath She finally drank her pain away A little at a time But she never could get drunk enough To get him off her mind Until the night She put the bottle to her head and pulled the trigger And finally drank away his memory Life is short but this time it was bigger Than the strength she had to get up off her knees We found her with her face down in the pillow Clinging to his picture for dear life We laid her next to him beneath the willow While the angels sang a whisky lullaby La x 7 La x 7 La x 7 La x 7 La x 7 La x 7 La x 7 La x 7 [b]Still Holding Out For You-[/b] Never thought I'd be in this place It's someone elses life im living Wish I were living a lie The hardest part is when the bough breaks Falling down & then forgiving I'm choking on the words i didn't get to say & pray I get the chance one day I still run I still swing open the door I still think you'll be there like before Doesn't anybody out there know to never come around some things a heart won't listen to I'm still holding out for you I can hear ya smile in the dark I can even feel you breathing When the daylight chases the ghost I see your coat & I fall apart To those hints of you I'm clinging Nows when I need them most I should get up, dry my eyes & move ahead At least that's what he would have said I still run I still swing open the door I still think you'll be there like before Doesn't anybody out there know to never come around some things a heart won't listen to I'm still holding out for you Faithfully, I trace your name while you sleep It's the only true comfort I feel I still run I still swing open the door I still think you'll be there like before I still run I still swing open the door I still think you'll be there like before Doesn't everybody out there know to never come around Some things a heart won't listin to I'm still holding out for you Holding out for you[/size][/font][/color]

[size=1][font=veranda][color=indigo]I want plane tickets to Illinois. -.- One of my friends moved up there this year, and so I want to visit her for Christmas. (Like that's going to happen.) Let me see... I do want a scanner, though, and plenty of CD's. ^_^; And manga's. Can't forget those.[/color] [color=orange][b]Best gift:[/b] Last year my mom got me a really expensive, real leather jacket. It's really warm, and I wear almost everytime I go outside! I saw it and my jaw dropped. Of course, I got hardly anything else, because she had used so much of her money on it, but I was really happy.[/color] [color=indigo][b]Worst gift:[/b] Hmm... a toughy. I'd have to say, though, that the Christmas booklets my great-grandmother gave me one year was bad. -.- Pretty boring, too. I've never had a weird gift, to tell you the truth. And I've liked a lot of my gifts. So yeah. >.>[/size][/font][/color]

[color=indigo][font=veranda]OOC: >.< Sorry, J-chan! Really good idea, Wicked! *hugs* IC: Cassie managed to smile at Drake?s antics. ?Sure!? She reached for the mike, and Drake gave it to her with an encouraging smile. The blonde riffled through the karaoke CD?s, and found one. She slipped it in the machine, and flipped it to number seven; ?Genie in A Bottle? by Christina Aguilera came on. The girl finished the song, and stepped away from the machine, handing Beth the mike. Her face was flushed lightly. She stepped away. Cassie flashed Drake a smile. ?You sing really well. I like the way you did ?Lavita Loca.? Your accent and pitch was really nice.? Drake returned her smile. ?Thanks. You weren?t bad yourself, though I?m not really a fan of Christina.? Cassie?s nose wrinkled in mock disgust. ?Meh, she?s okay. Its her music that?s good.? Drake smiled, but was watching Beth. Cassie sat down against the wall to watch, and the appearance of Connor in the doorway caught her eye. She didn?t turn to look at him; they had been avoiding one another all day. OOC: Tag, dork! ^.~[/color][/font]

[size=1][font=veranda][color=indigo][u]Sign-up[/u] [b]Name-[/b] Jennifer Thompson [b]Age-[/b] 17 [b]Gender-[/b] Female [b]Sterotype-[/b] The poet- Passive and blissful, liberal and understanding. [b]Appearance-[/b] See attachment [b]Issue/Secret-[/b] Jen maybe be a sweet, cool person to hang out with, but she is not the best friend you could wish for. All her poems and songs and stories are morbid, depressed, and if she lets you, you may even see a scar or two ? where she cut herself with a razor from suicide attempts. (She is also slightly scared of her crush on another girl in her science class.) [b]Bio-[/b] Hi, everyone! It?s me, Jen! I?ve lived in Hallow?s Point since I was two, when I moved here for my dad?s new job. I go to Hallow?s Point High, where I am editor of the school newspaper. I also do Drama, and half the plays we produce, I wrote! I love writing plays, and musicals. I?m not much of a sports person, but I love watching my older brother, Marcus, play soccer. I also (kind of) admire C.J. She?s a really good photographer, and her stories for the paper are amazing. [center]~*~[/center] Jennifer moved to Hallow?s Point when she was two, from Atlanta, Georgia. She lives with her mom (Becky), her dad (Andrew), and her brother (Marcus). Her best friend, Nathaniel, is one the same soccer team with Marcus, and, secretly, Jen has a crush on him. Of course, she knows he would never go out with her, and that is part of the reason she gets depressed easily. Jen grew up with animals and she has four cats (two tabby?s, grey and orange, a black, and a calico; Jasmine, Devin, Lucas, and Mirage), two dogs (a terrier and a lab; Corbin and Kiki), and three birds (a cockatiel(Tai-bin), a parrot(Couscous), and a finch(Kiwi)). Her family lives in a large house, and she grew up in that house. She has great friends, but none of them can even come close to what haunts her. For Jen?s 16th birthday, she was going to go to the movies with her boyfriend(now an ex). Jen decided to pick [I]him[/I] up in her new car, and so that evening she got ready, and drove to his house. When he opened the door, his hair was a mess, and Jen caught a glimpse of a girl ? on the couch, naked. She got in a huge fight with him, and never spoke with him again. To him, she looked angry; but she was torn. When she got home, she locked herself in her bathroom, and slit her wrists. The pain was enourmas, and she screamed. Marcus broke down the door, and got her to the hospital before she bled to death. Jennifer was traumatized. After that, she only ever cut herself when she was more than hurt. But never to the extent of suicide. Admittedly, she does think of suicide every now and then ? but she won?t attempt it unless it?s really bad. Nice, Annie! ^_^ You know I like your RPs.[/size][/font][/color]

[size=1][font=veranda][color=indigo]Well, here's mys econd try(can you tell I'm happy to see you?). ^_^ Personally, I don't think it is as good as the first set(considering trying to do anything fancy with MSPaint is very stupid. -.-;) [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=21546&stc=1[/img] [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=21547&stc=1[/img] Here you go![/size][/font][/color]

[size=1][font=veranda][color=indigo]OOC: So sorry for the lateness! My internet went down! IC: Erika backed up, gold eyes narrowed. She hated this. [I]This is what I get for stopping someone killing someone; a massacre.[/I] She straightened, her muscles still ready to spring into action. Then the raven-haired fighter raised her voice. ?Traitors? You call [I]us[/I] traitors?? The advance stopped slightly. They had expected fighting back, not a lecture. Erika launched into a string of nonsense, but things that would keep them distracted. Sarek hissed, ?What are you doing?!? Erika didn?t stop, but let her eyes dart to an opening. She stopped suddenly, and launched forward, fans whirling. ?Go!? She sliced at a couple people, and then ran after Sarek and Maya. The trio ran along the edge of the lake, and Erika said as the mob gained, ?Guys! I can?t kill!? Sarek had protested to running, but common sense overrode it. Three to God knows how many was suicide. The girl flung a razor-sharp fan backwards over her shoulder, and it thunked solidly into someone?s shoulder. She clenched her eyes, and let out a small cry. Erika sprinted out in front of Sarek and Maya. She was nearly insane from killing that one person. [I]Calm down, Ri-chan?[/I] OOC: >.> So tired? can I go to bed now?[/size][/font][/color]

[size=1][font=veranda][color=indigo]The girl?s dark gold eyes narrowed, and she released him. Standing quickly, she watched him as he also stood, and looked back to see how far behind his friends were. She did a couple backhand springs, to get distance from the man. When she settled, a couple meters away, she said, in a soft voice, ?I?m Erika.? The man stood up. ?Sarek.? The raven-haired teen watched him, and soon heard people running. Erika had to stop herself from fading into the landscape, and running. Her breath caught in her throat, and she turned to watch the people emerge from the trees. ?Did you-? The boy in the lead stopped, breathing hard as he saw Erika. ?Who are you?? Erika?s calm, closed tone held an obvious accent. ?I?m Erika.? She nodded towards Sarek. ?I?m an friend of Sarek?s.? His name rolled off her tongue as if she had been saying it for a while. Sarek seemed to take a sharp breath, but only Erika noticed it. The boy turned to Sarek, seemingly satisfied with her answer for now. ?What happened to that Crewman, Sarek?? Sarek said, ?I lost him. I wasn?t expecting Erika, and when she stepped out, I was startled.? Erika noticed his eyes flick to her every now and then. She made no comment. ?He disappeared.? Erika was leaning against a tree, gold eyes watching the rest of the party. ?And don?t bother going after him.? The boy looked at her through narrow eyes. ?Trust me on this. If you?ve lost him in the woods, you?re not going to find him.? OOC: *takes a deep breath* Gah.[/size][/font][/color]
