We have another event... gathering... taking place so a time skip would negate it. Ogoti, Tasia, Hans and Chrys are also doing stuff in the clinic but we need to get Ray on board so we could end that part, let Tasia float, and pick up the next day. That's up to Tilt and Cer.

We can do Valentine's tomorrow. It means getting the Teens to go home or else attend the gathering. The Aegis story is encapsulated.

In any case, reading on through the IC right about now. Is everyone doing alright?

No worries. It's freeform play. *nods*

Yeah, but the more confused the chronology gets, the more confused I get. Best to keep that in the minimum so I can keep confusing other people.

Character Powers (if any):
Plant Manipulation: 8
Character Weaknesses/Flaws:
Lacking in physical attributes
FLAW: Reckless. Overdoes things. Often causes 'Unforeseen Consequences' like raging plant minions or rampant uncontrolled growth. Possibly gets more paradox when it is gained.
Character Background/Biography:
Born and raised in Confederation (short name for my nation IC), the wooded hippy paradise. Kale learned she had powers at a young age when she accidentally turned the family acacia tree into a treant. Both shocked and awed by the power she displayed at her age, she was immediately sent to Roseward Academy for the Magically Gifted. There is where she lived for the rest of her time in Confederation. Though powerful, she was intellectually inept. She would take hours to learn the simplest of manipulations. But she eventually learned. She was at the bottom rung when it came to grades, but nobody had a doubt in their mind that she was the most powerful manipulator in the Academy.

Kale herself is a colorful person. She is absentminded and ditsy, forgetting tasks, names, and sometime basic functions. She is clumsy, no sense of balance at all. She is reckless, never thinking of the consequences and often overdoes things. Shes also not very smart, slow to learn things and often screws up. But she is friendly, kind, and open. She loves friends and would die for them. She loves experimenting, even with her subpar intellect. This often causes "Unforeseen Consequences" but sometimes there is a breakthrough. She is diligent and determines when she sets her mind to something. She likes gardening, even if she is an amateur at it. Like her people, she prefers not to wear clothing. She only wears it when out in public only to not shock others. She is an big environmentalist and a vegan. She is naive to big city life.

She likes nature, the outdoors, friends, people, and experimenting with her powers. Her favorite food is quinoa.

Why the character is in Bielefeld/Occupation:
Running away from the Academy. Didn't like how the Academy was restricting her from experimenting (even though they were right in doing so). Most would say she was going through a rebellious phase. She doesn't know what she'll do in Bielefeld.

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:

Kale is a ditsy, clumsy, but incredibly powerful plant manipulator. While not showing the utmost skill and discipline, she can turn you into fertilizer. She is friendly and caring though, showing much love to friends, even willing to die for them. She loves to experiment with her powers, even if it causes "Unforeseen Consequences". Doesn't help that she is not the brightest bulb in the box. Far from her woody homeland, Kale is new to Bielefeld and big city life in general.

P.S.: Tell me if I should adjust some of the attributes.

This character is charming! I like her.

Cer will want examples of what you mean by plant manipulation. Is it akin to Poison Ivy where plants can suddenly explode into attacking tendrils, etc?

(I love quinoa. I make a mean quinoa tabbouleh.)

Automatic must-see.

To paraphrase SidewaysThinker, you have an awesome hat.

The Carlisle wrote:Yes. She's basically Ivy, but cuter, nicer, and less graceful.

Two definitions to explain this:

Crowdfunding is when a company asks a crowd of people to donate money in order to allow that product to exist. The company is typically independent, and could not afford to do it otherwise--or else they're a company who are trying to find out how viable an idea is, in which case they'll typically only ask backers for a portion of the total cost.

Kickstarter is, by far, the most popular Crowdfunding website out there.
