Personification Life OOC IX [CLOSED]

[The BranRiech]

TY GT.

It's mostly just getting into a rhythm. I honestly am rusty. I bowed out of RPing last year (obviously, going by my posts here) and I'm going through all my old writing notes to up my game.

I think Swith needs a montage of getting back into RP.

I wondered what I was doing wrong with dialogue, turns out it was everything. I suspected so.

Dialogue's a difficult thing to pull off. I struggle with it.

God damn, Fvaar. This beast of a riddle is really bogging my mind down like hell's high water. I may need to take a day to think this over.

Er. Sorry...

I appreciate the enthusiasm but holy shit. I'm still not sure if I even understand it all yet.

Hopefully the stuff I had Kwa'a mention helps somewhat.

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

You deserve the praise for that Fvaar.

[Fvaarniimar]

Thank you so much, NVE!

[Torsiedelle]

Me and bran probably have some of the longest-running Mundane characters in the apartment, don't we?

It's cool how a normal human character is still special in PL.

[The BranRiech]

Will post after work, sorry, Swith and Torsie!

[Swith Witherward]

Will post after work, sorry, Swith and Torsie!

No rush. It's a lazy night for me.

[Torsiedelle]

It's all good, bruh.

I got my sweet tea. It's a good day.

Indeed!

In preparation for a post, I'm trying to figure out who's in the group Gio and Sandy are going to meet. Marcus, Torii, Katya, Drova, and Yuna, yes? Anybody else?

Edit: fixed typos. Stupid keyboard I'm not used to.

Yep. Is it only Sandy standing with Giovenith?

Note: She did request definitions of some terms...in at least one case, providing those might be wise...

Application fixed! With that, I'd like to apply 3 more characters.

Do not remove this search tag: #PLAPP
Your NS Nation's Nickname: Crumb

Character Name: Cottura Fetta Salto (goes by Cottura)

Character Gender: Female

Character Species (nation personification, human, alien, etc): Crumb. The Crumb species is similar to a human, although it has a specific appearance (hence all Crumbs look very similar) and completely lacks red blood cells. Other than that, it is basically a nation personification only.

Character Physical Description (height, weight, apparent age, actual age):
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 90 lbs.
Apparent age: 30
Actual age: 25

Cottura Salto has the olive skin, large, black eyes, and curved nose of an average Crumb. Her hair is black-as-the-night naturally, although even at 25 it sports some gray streaks here and there from hard work. Cottura's hair is often pulled straight up in a dignified bun, although her eyes add seductive youth to her formal appearance. Although extremely slender, her limbs are slightly muscular, and she often dresses in well-worn attire in neutral colors such as brown and gray.

URL to Character Picture, if any: None (see description)

Primary Skill or Power: Scissor-like hands, able to slice through most materials

Power Weaknesses/Flaws: As this power is only reliant on her hands, any damage to these body parts will delete the power until remedied.

Secondary Skill or Power: Excellent cook (skill only)

Power Weaknesses/Flaws: She may become busy in the kitchen.

Character Background/Biography: Cottura Salto was, unlike her companion Oila, born to an extremely poor family in Salto who sold her to the wheat fields as a laborer at age 3. Cottura had to endure long hours of endless wheat-picking, and although the bosses were generous enough, the pay was very low, and the work was much too strenuous for a little girl. When discovering that her hands could easily chop through wheat, saving hours of work, Cottura had grown to be almost 15 and had used her salary to provide herself with a tiny house in the very same wheat field. The experience left a heavy mark on Cottura, who started the "Wheat Picker's Union" at age 17, encouraging the corporations of Crumb-Cashew to provide better care for wheat pickers, and to exclude children from their strenuous ways. The charity had succeeded, providing Cottura with a regulator's status and the money needed to travel to Bielefeld for a much-needed vacation.

Why the character is in Bielefeld/Occupation: Cottura is in Bielefeld for a vacation, plain and simple; as well as an enlightening cultural tour. She is travelling with her companions Oila Crumb and Cecil Cannellini, who recently met out of the blue when planning this travel.

Link to RP examples: (this MUST be a DIRECT LINK to your IC post in an RP, NOT a link to the RP thread itself. If you don't have examples, make your biography good.) None (we must start somewhere, after all)

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: After a poverty-loaded childhood full of unnecessary labor, Cottura Salto is now the successful founder of the Crumb-Cashew charity "Wheat Picker's Union". A strong woman of 25, Cottura enjoys eating bread, politics and activism, and is a rather good cook with a beautiful appearance. She also has a recently-discovered scientific malfunction, or 'power', allowing her to cut through objects with her bare hands- an unusual attribute that would have saved her much trouble during her unfortunate past.

Your NS Nation's Nickname: Crumb

Character Name: Cecil Cannellini

Character Gender: Male

Character Species (nation personification, human, alien, etc): Crumb. The Crumb species is similar to a human, although it has a specific appearance (hence all Crumbs look very similar) and completely lacks red blood cells. Other than that, it is basically a nation personification only.

Character Physical Description (height, weight, apparent age, actual age):
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 130 lbs.
Apparent age: 40
Actual age: 30

Cecil Cannellini looks very similar to Oila Crumb- with traits that enable them to pass for siblings. He is bald, in fact, from recent 'suspected cancer' treatment (in fact, he was not affected by the so-called 'cancer' one bit), instead of the Crumb baldness trend. Cecil sports a very large, curved nose, olive skin, and the big, black eyes seen on almost every citizen of his country. Although slim, he is fairly muscular, though not an exercise fanatic. Cecil has a very dignified appearance, resembling that of a stereotypical, handsome Italian waiter.

URL to Character Picture, if any: None (description provided)

Primary Skill or Power: Although mostly an average Joe (or Grano in the Crumb language), Cecil has a persuasive ability and marketing skills, which help him in the retail field.

Power Weaknesses/Flaws: Might recommend his own products to others consistently.

Secondary Skill or Power: None

Power Weaknesses/Flaws: N/A

Character Background/Biography: Cecil Cannellini is your average Crumb citizen- and has always been that way. Even his appearance is average in cultural standards, with the olive skin, large black eyes, and curved nose of a Crumb. Born to the middle class, Cecil was a studious student in school, which enabled him to receive a degree in Marketing at Sulphur University. There, he met Oila Crumb, although the two barely know each other. Renowned for his salesman's ability, Cecil works at the industrial superpower Cannellini Cars, in Crumb-Cashew. Cecil is also a follower of the Cipolle subdivision Sulpalcci, a pagan religion.

Why the character is in Bielefeld/Occupation: Cecil is in Bielefeld for a pure vacation, and for a taste of new culture. He currently works at Cannellini Cars as a salesman and is quite successful.

Nice to meat you Crumb, now I am hungrier than normal.

Are you sure that introducing so many characters so quickly is a good idea? I'm worried that you could end up pretty confused, or possibly overwhelmed if RL gets involved. It might be better to run one character for awhile, then introduce the others... But of course that is merely my opinion, and if your characters are just taking a short vacation as you've kinda implied then you should be fine. I think.

@NVE: Try a nice yellow fruit.
@Tilt: No, you are a beverage.

Gio, the italicized bit in my last post is a thought; maybe I need a clearer notation for that... No harm, though.
