Elfen High 2 (OOC 8, Closed, Will it Hurt?)

[Liriena]

Well, six more days and I'm off to Paris. That means two weeks with barely any time to get online and get back on track with EH.

EH has tracks? Why haven't I ever seen them?

Well, those tracks were paid for, but never built. Why? Because the construction company was Argentinian.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

Name: Snowflake the Elf (Fleurette Rietveld)

Age (Actual): 374

Age (Appears): 13

Race: Elf

Appearance: Snowflake is a petite being, closely resembling a thirteen year old human. An unruly mane of chestnut ringlets cascades down to her waist, while her twinkling green eyes are resplendent with Christmas cheer. She weights in at about seventy pounds wet, and stands an impressive four and two inches tall. Like most elves employed in the capitalistic hellhole of the North Pole, Snowflake wears a green and red uniform, complete with bells, which rings whenever she takes a step. Oh, and pointy ears!

Powergrid/Powers:

Powergrid

INT: 8
STR: 1
DUR: 1
SPD: 8
FS: 1

Powers

Practical Jokes: 4
- Snowflake thinks that she is Loki reborn, and it is admittedly funny to see one of your mates fall for a practical joke. Unfortunately, she doesn't really control this ability, and often makes use of it at inopportune moments, like when she shot off fireworks in one of the wartime factories, setting back production of the first elvish tank by more than a decade. So, yeah, she's kind of annoying.

Teleportation: 5
- Snowflake can teleport, but this almost always takes her to an unintended destination.

Perception: 0
- She lacks perception, or common sense.

Weaknesses: Having spent most of her life at the North Pole, Snowflake is rather naive about the world in general, often mistaking people's intentions or misunderstanding certain pieces of technology. She also dislikes heat, dreary colors, and tall people. If a person steals one of her shoes, Snowflake is bound to their service until it is returned. In general, she also happens to be rather incompetent, leaving one to wonder if the USFE sent her into the world as a diplomat or just to get rid of her.

Personality: Snowflake is a cheerful, earnest little elf, fully dedicated to the proletarian revolution and the emancipation of her people from the shackles of destitution and wage labor. Often, this commitment manifests itself as grim resilience, though one should expect her gravitas to be sabotaged by childlike laughter every few minutes. Snowflake also happens to be quite mischievous, casting spells to cause mayhem, with scarcely any motivation.

History:

Fleurette Rietveld was born in Holland, to a pair of loving human parents. As a young child, she always loved Christmas, snow, and pranks. Fleurette grew up in a small, working class district of Amsterdam. Her father carved and shined shoes for a living, while her mother was a washerwoman. Due to the family's financial difficulties, she never really attended school, but rather helped with chores around the house, sweeping and dusting and whistling happy songs. Despite the tedium of her existence, Fleurette was never sad, until that fateful Christmas night...

It was stupid. Even a simpleton would have known better. They had all heard the tales of Zwarte Piet, and his sharp-biting whip. Every child that side of the Rhine had been warned against naughtiness. Still, Fleurette had somehow mustered the courage, the unmitigated stupidity, to venture outside against the explicit instructions of her parents. A friend of hers by the name of Edwin organized a snowball fight that night, and five other children came. At first, Fleurette laughed and hurled misshapen balls of snow at the other children. But then, a bone-chilling chant reverberated through the brooding forests of the Low Countries, a macabre call of a "ho! ho! ho!". They scattered like a flock of quails under the hunter's watchful, inescapable eye. Fleurette ran headlong into the woods like a frightened rabbit, never glancing back. In the end, however, Santa caught her, like he did with all the other wicked children.

When they reached the North Pole, Santa turned the children into elves and sent them to work under his manager Zwarte Piet, never bothering to pay them for their services. Such was the punishment that awaited children who misbehaved. Snowflake, as she was now called, was given her bells and beaten whenever she cried for want of home. Why? Because Santa is a jolly fascist, and something of a sick fuck. Zwarte Piet was much kinder, and more able, embracing the human resources approach to business. Snowflake grew fond of Piet, coming to trust him as a second father. She also managed to stay in contact with Edwin, who had been transformed into an elf too.

Years passed, and gradually the North Pole modernized. In the eighteen hundreds, a cabal of British Magicians compelled Santa to abolish chattel slavery in his dominion. He also industrialized, causing many elves to lose their jobs. Snowflake, while horribly incompetent, somehow retained her position in the factory. As such, she opposed the actions of the Elvish Luddites, who rampaged and destroyed valuable manufacturing equipment. Despite her misgivings, Snowflake was aghast when Santa responded by brutally executing the agitators, one of whom was her old friend, Edwin. He had them impaled on candy canes. Candy canes. Have I mentioned that Santa is a sick fuck yet?

In the twentieth century, things changed dramatically. The advent of Marxism in Europe gave many of the disenfranchised elves of the North Pole hope for a better future. Radical leaders such as Twinkle and Sugarplum wrote manifestos urging their brethren to rise up and cast down their oppressors. Collectivization of the means of production became a hot topic, one which interested Snowflake immensely. By the nineteen eighties, the situation had reached a boiling point. A series of strikes were called by the illegal unions, prompting Santa to initiate a crackdown. A civil war ensued, and everything went to hell in a hand basket. Caught in the middle of all these events was Snowflake, a low-ranking member of the USFE (United Syndicates of Free Elves). Her superiors characterized her as a chronic failure.

Within the span of a decade, she was transferred between the propaganda, military production, knitting, and rations departments, something seen as extraordinary in elvish society, as most elves don't manage to fail at existence. They still have no idea how she succeeded in accidentally giving an entire battalion salmonella. Elves are immune to salmonella for crying out loud! Eventually, the elected leaders of the USFE decided to send Snowflake as a special diplomat to the nations of the world, in an effort to acquire outside support against Santa's fascist regime. And that explains why she's about to pop into the story.

RP Sample: Really? Is the biography not enough? Why do you ask so much of me!?

Approved.

It is now official. Santa's new headquarters is Elfen High's sewers. *nod*

I tried watching FMA: Brotherhood again.
It frustrates me to be unable to like something I know is good.

It's fine- everyone has different tastes.

As a heads up, I'm going out with Aliana and Arjun to an amusement park, since I get a day off. I'll likely be busy with that and then sleeping.

I'd probably love it if I'd never seen the original show.

Elfen High is dead to me.

[Condunum]

So this morning started off terrifying for me, as I woke up from a nightmarish realistic dream that I was a prison inmate in a NK labor camp, specifically camp #22, the 'missing' one.

Upon waking up, I found my family and told them I loved them, and to never let me be taken away by strange Asian men offering me a one time deal for much wealth.

If there's any place the North Koreans would randomly go to buy American slaves it would be Baltimore.
