Character Name: Ryan DiAngelo

Character Gender: Male

Character Species (nation personification, human, alien, etc): human

Character Physical Description (height, weight, apparent age, actual age): 5'11"/160 pounds, looks about late-twenties, nobody (including him) has any idea how old he is actually.

URL to Character Picture, if any: N/A

Primary Skill or Power: Can teleport himself up to five miles away.

Power Weaknesses/Flaws: Often accidentally teleports himself into the air and hurts himself on the way down.

Secondary Skill or Power: A "5", maybe lower, in Physical. Can jump, erm, up to a second story balcony from the ground. (original description is original, I know.) Olympic-level fast as well.

Power Weaknesses/Flaws: Okay stamina, but not very strong.

Character Background/Biography: Ryan woke up one day in a nice apartment with two thousand dollars in a pocket and no idea of how he got there or what he had done with his life previously. He asked around to make sure he didn't have amnesia, but nobody else knew where he was, and this was a problem. Eventually, with the help of many a linear math error during late-at-night calculations, he worked out that he was from another dimension and had accidentally gotten to Bielefeld in a terrible accident. He opened up a small business and settled down, still looking for clues about where he was and a possible way back. His previous life is a complete unknown, but he's determined to find out all about it, although if his math skills are any indication, he's screwed.

Why the character is in Bielefeld/Occupation: Why he's here? He just woke up here - he honestly has no clue. As for what he does, mostly drinks tea and runs a business that sells those weird socks with individual toes, which are all the rage in his home dimension (worked out using math, somehow).

Vettrera 0, Royals 1: Llamanean U-21 side continues unbeaten run

STARBLAYDIA -- Another day, another win: the Royals of Super-Llamaland are on an absolute roll.

Things got out to a slow start for our home side as the Royals prepared to face the Wild Herd of Vettrera. The Bermudan Triangle of Valdevic, Player, and Guzmán, but this time it was Aidan Ferguson playing to unite them all. The Wild Herd, who were playing as aggressive as Farves set on fire, began to attack the Royal defense. It was Malvoy playing the best on the left striker side, attacking Herman at will. But it wasn't until the eighth minute until a cross-field shot hit an attacking Christie Pratt, who pounced and slapped it off the crossbar and into the ready hands of Jared Finch.

Vettrera continued to play aggressive ball until a turning point somewhere in the vicinity of the thirteenth. Valdevic took one from Pratt and went along the left side, drawing defenders and then slapping one upfield to Anthony Player. Player continued to charge up the field before going across to Ferguson, whose header barely missed the mark. A botched goalkick later and the 5-1 part of Llamanea's 4-5-1 were swarming across in waves.

It was Valdevic, playing far past midfield, who recovered the kick. From there, shoddy defense by the Wild Herd allowed him to go back-and-forth with Player through the defense, but it was Carter who made it back in time to send his shot flying off a shin guard and into the stands.

Cartwright and Alexion then drove through the left, but around minute twenty, Vettrera began to push back, lead by Carter, advancing up the field and peaking in two brilliant plays by Finch to block shots from each Pratt sister in turn.

Things quieted down, with neither midfield really allowing ground and the ball never hitting the final third. Each team got another run out of the first half, but in the end it was nothing that really happened, a nil-nil standfast after forty-five plus two.

And then came the second half. It began as the first half had ended. Boring, midfield-centric play, with a slight edge to the Royals and their bigger, better halfbacks.

They broke through in the sixty-eighth, Valdevic running up and passing to Player, who continued up the left side and slammed one off the eighteen-yard over the hands of DeMare and into the goal.

From there on, it was the Royals keeping it on their offense and passing around, with Vettrera only a handful of times getting it out to their offense. Finch was on all night as the Royals continued their winning streak with a one-zip victory.

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:

Ryan DiAngelo woke up in his apartment with no idea of how he got there or of his previous life. After working out that he must have been transported from another dimension in a terrible accident and becoming addicted to green tea, he began to settle down and opened a business selling the most popular items in his home dimension - those weird socks with individual toes. Will his cash reserve, found in his pocket when he woke up, last him long enough for him to find a way home? Or will his lack of talent for math doom him to stay in a foreign world?
