Personification Life OOC VII [OPEN -Sign up and Planning]

[Tiltjuice]

Someday, when I have earphone-related hearing loss, you all can blame my father. I need to drown out his singing and I don't have noise-cancelling headphones.

@NVE. Librarians are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

That is the Dewey gland that all librarians grow for stealth and efficiency.

[Fraire]

I think I'll join




BTW what would my apartment look like (for the app)? Can it just be anything?

Basically, yes. I think there might have been an informal unspoken rule about no duplicating other people's pictures, but I'm not sure. Ask Cer, our IC OP.

Back after dinner!

I was recommended this RP, so.........
Your NS Nation's Nickname: Fraire/Friare

Character Name: Tsanis

Character Gender: Male

Character Species (nation personification, human, alien, etc): Sand-Crawler (A demon of who can control sand and materials like it)

Character Physical Description (height, weight, apparent age, actual age):
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 131 lb.
Apparent age: 19
Actual age: 1,073

URL to Character Picture, if any: On flag

(12 points to spend, no single power over 8. FLAWS must be applied to characters with powers)
Physical Attributes (if any above normal mortal human): Has 4 tentacle-like extra limbs coming out of back (points: 6)

Character Unique Skills(if any): N/A

Character Powers (if any): Basically Sand-Bending (points: 5)

Character Weaknesses/Flaws: Cold temperatures affect Tsanis greatly. If a day is chilly, there is a chance that he could die.

Character Background/Biography: Tsanis had no childhood. He spent most of his life underground. When he came out, he did nothing but eat and sleep. Tsanis was basically a hermit who lived in a cave. Until one daywhen he woke up in a magic library. For an odd reason, he's always somehow managed to get sucked into another universe every once-in-a-while, through a town full of giant talking spiders to another man's dream. It usually happens when he takes a nap, then wakes up in another universe, just like that.

Why the character is in Bielefeld/Occupation: He woke up there one day. Tsanis is a psychiatrist.

URL to Apartment Picture: Only one room

Link to RP examples: Direct Link

IMPORTANT:
One paragraph that sums up your character. This paragraph is what we'll use on your player tab on the first page of the thread. This MUST be brief. Your tab will contain a link to your application so people will have full details:
Tsanis is a demon without any demon-like traits. He likes engineering and helping people out, although he makes enemies quickly. Tsanis thinks that weird is normal and the ugly is beautiful. He likes dark places and to hot environments. Tsanis likes to be random a lot. He is also quick with a comeback, and loves to make puns. Although Tsanis doesn't like fights, if someone challenges him, he'll give them something to think about on the way to the hospital.

And for my psychiatry business.....
Business Name: Bielefeld Psychiatry
Character that owns it: Tsanis
What services does it supply: Psychiatry-we cure fears, insanity, and much, much more
Where is it located (Agricultural District, Industrial District, Market District, Downtown District, other district or location): Downtown District

I'll need some more info.

You have to appoint points to his sand bending. We do this to determine outcomes if fights between characters break out (which is seldom).

His physical attributes would be the tentacles. His knowledge of psychiatry would be skill points.

You'd also need to explain how he's licensed to treat patients. We bend the rules a bit with magic but the day-to-day nuances (business licenses, etc) are based a bit on reality. How did he become a psychiatrist?

We'll need the "One paragraph summation" for a tab. Swith handles the coding for those.

My concern, however, is that the majority of your IC posts are one-liners. I'd expect more (take a look at our IC) and you'd need to put effort into crafting them so they contain more than dialog. There are times when we bend the rules about "dialog only" posts but that's because our players are capable of doing better but are only posting to unfreeze a scene or else because the nature of the flow between players lends to a single-line reply. PL challenges players to improve. Would you be up for that?

[Fraire]

Yes, I'd be up to that. I'll get to fixing it up.....I guess didn't do a very good job with the App, I'll admit....

[Zarkanians]

Psychiatrists don't advertise themselves like that. At least, not ones who did their full eight-year term. It scares patients away, and it belittles the disorders an individual might be suffering from. I had appointments with a psychiatrist two days a week for three years; I had a lot of time to ask mine about things like that.

EDIT: Not trying to put you down or anything; this is just information, not information and an accusing glare.

It's good info, Zark. Not something I'd thought about.

[Fraire]

Also, he went to psychiatrist school or something. I really am too sleepy to figure it all out.

[Zarkanians]

In the United States and Canada, as well as most other developed countries, psychiatrists go through four years of university followed by four years of medical school. I'm not sure whether Bielefeld would accept any less, but it's possible.

[Tiltjuice]

Ollo, back.

He could be a therapist.

NVE plays a shrink but his documentation is masterfully forged. I believe he played part of it out in the IC back before Vafflehelm was destroyed. Can't recall too clearly.

[Tiltjuice]

Outpatient clinic, maybe? Specialized in a subfield of psych? Or, yes, an MFT is possible. I think that'd be pretty hilarious to do, actually, given all the issues all our chars have.

[Swith Witherward]

Drive-by Swithing. I'm only up to eat something and to hammer out that reply. GT's probably going to be offline this week due to military crap. I was hoping to get it done before he went to sleep.

Such is life.

Goodnight Peeps!

[Tiltjuice]

Swithers' silver hammer.

Goodnight fennec. *warms up the vent*

The line would stretch around the block.

GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP.

Don't they also have to do four years of residency?

Yes. And then more, for subspecialty.

Yes, the majority of their credentials are fake, and Arthur was absolutely terrible actually practicing it, even though he understands the human mind quite well. He just prefered using his skills for personal gain.

[Zarkanians]

Yes. And then more, for subspecialty.

And then there's the practicum...

Basically, they don't want anyone screwing around in anyone else's head unless they've spent a long, long time learning how to do it first.

And yeah, I think the majority of characters here are the kind of people a psychiatrist would be able to retire off of.

After all that school they're going to be the ones needing professional help. *ba-dum tis*

It's like having a whole apartment full of Bob Wileys.

You'd taken the time to make it plausible though. I believe the only legit business they're tied to is the one operated by Johnathan.

Lancet galore.

Practicum? Never heard of it.

I needed it after only a year.
