On this forum, people have stuff to do. For instance, I just jumped in the shower. That doesn't mean I'm off for the night.

Considering I'm at the campfire, and you're at the entrance, I'm not sure that'd work.

Well a person did just faint over there, you could come to help. But do your own thing, RP is about choice.

My nightmare guy is at the campfire as well, could be an interaction there.

[Scroobland]

Is there going to be a conflict?

No open conflict. But be ready for some... heavy bruising this Friday.

Friday is Capture the Flag.

The son of death is ready.

[Vaquas]

Name: Alexander Wright
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Godly parent: Athena
Powers:

Enhanced Learning - Alexander's inherent ability to learn has been present since his creation, with his intelligence and quickness to pick up skills such as reading and writing being the immediate indicators of something special. He particularly has an affinity for languages and the arts, being proficient in most major instruments and having mastered 13 languages (Latin, English, Greek, German, Italian, Norwegian, Russian, Dutch, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, Indonesian, and French) and having basic knowledge of most others creating the nickname "The Human RosettaStone" among his Pre Camp-HalfBlood Friends.
His writing and Painting are phenomenal, and he won several mortal awards for it, which ultimately led to his first true encounter with a monster.
He is also great at puzzles and interior decorating.

World Knowledge - Any fact not swiftly accessible to the common mind is likely at the tip of Alexander's tongue, and it shows, for better or worse. This leads to his extreme and almost obsessive interest in both Mortal and Olympian world events and politics, about which he is extremely passionate.

Strategic Combat - What Alex Lacks in pure physical strength he makes up for in planning and precision, giving him knowledge of the best tactics for a particular situation, particularly ones that seem hopeless. His skill with bows and handguns typically make up for his lack of sword fighting capability, but one of his greatest combat assets is his ability to disarm and disable his opponent with martial arts, something he is extremely proficient at.


Appearance:

Personality: Alexander is typically soft-spoken and persuasive, and is the bastion for much knowledge, causing some, particularly children of Ares, to see him as extremely pretentious, though he does not intend to be seen that way. Sarcasm and Satire are words typically associated with those who are semi-acquainted with him, though caring and insightful would be a description from someone who had more than a basic relationship with him. He does not anger easily, and often laughs or maintains a neutral expression in times of worry or even pain. While he is not particularly fond of actively seeking friendship, those who approach him with good intentions will likely leave the conversation with at least a new acquaintance.

Biography: (Please have it be at least one or two paragraphs) Alexander was "born" from Athena and a United States Professor of Anthropology turned Diplomat, who was met with Alexander's existence during his first assignment in New Zealand. Athena was drawn to his father, Randall Wright, due to his intense thoughtfulness and desire to improve the human condition through knowledge and logic. Randall, due to his career, was enlightened by Athena about the situation and granted the ability to see through the mist in order to protect Alexander, who she regarded as "Special". He was instructed to avoid at all costs an assignment in Italy or Greece, and to try and avoid Europe all together. By the time Alexander was 4, his father had been assigned to the Australian Desk, allowing another four years of relative peace and tranquility as Alex distinguished himself from other children.
At 8, Alex's father was assigned to the desk in Moscow, which proved to be a struggle for Alex, who was consistently singled out and called a faggot for his interest in History and the Arts. At 10, things boiled over. An extreme bully by the mane of Ronov attempted to kill Alex and his father after Alex continuously made him look like an idiot and a weakling via pointing out his academic and mental flaws, resulting in the crippling of his father and the death of Ronov at Alex's bare hands. This incident eventually led to the interest in proficiency in martial arts. After a quick and non-revokable transfer, the two ended up in Norway, where his father worked for 2 years before his appointment by the US President as Ambassador to the United Nations in New York City.
Alex at this time, realized how unique his gifts with language and the arts were, and he quickly made himself known to the New York and National Art Scene and, Unfortunately, the Monsters and Forces of Evil.
At 14 years old, on the way to accept his reward for Most Promising Young Metropolitan Artist, the car was ambushed by a gigantic bull, seen by mortals as a drunk driver. This crash nearly killed him, and the bull intended to finish the job, and likely would have if his father had not been gifted the sight and able to stall the bull long enough for a nearby Satyr to pull him to abrupt safety and find him transport to Camp-Half Blood. On his way there, he was informed during a visit by Athena that his father was killed, causing only the second moment in Alex's life in which he wished to mutilate and slaughter something. This rage was subsided by Athena's explanation of the situation and promise of great things to come, claiming that he was always one of her most interesting children. She gifted him a Gray Necklace Depicting the Scales of Balance, atop of which perched an Owl. Alex has since had 3 conversations with his mother, 1 each year, and maintains relationships with many on camp grounds, including his Current Boyfriend, a Son of Ares, Max.

Other: Homosexual, Has a disgusting love for Puns. Follows Mortal Politics and Identifies as a Moderate Republican.

RP example:

The honey glazed evening set the tone for an event far different from the one sure to be experienced by Alexander that particular afternoon. That damned woman was not going to let up was she? Her incessant badgering was abnormally close to bitching in his book, and it was apparent to anyone who knew him that the threshold was dangerously close to being erased entirely.

"I mean, that makes sense doesn't it? If Jason and you were dating you'd tell me about it? Alex, you know how much that would irritate me-"

Oh boy did he.

"If we were you'd be the last to find out about it, thats for sure. I'm not sure I could handle more than 20 minutes of you speaking at any given time, my head may explode."

There was no weight to the statement in Alex's mind, but it was clear that it equalled an anvil in Jane's.

Alex took a deep and slightly exaggerated breath in an attempt to brace himself for whatever backhanded comment was headed his way, but his wait was in vain, and the silence was more icy than one of annoyance.

He turned to face Jane, and immediately recognized what she was glaring at. The Beast.
The damned thing must've been 15 feet tall at the least, and the copper smell was certainly not garnered through mineral extraction. Its mouth was one of an animal accustomed to ripping, a fact that registered at about the same time Jane mistakenly inquired-

"Thats a big ass bear isn't it Alexander. Didn't know they got that big."

Alex decided that keeping Jane's sanity intact was more important than telling the truth in this particular instance.

"Yeah. Thats a big ass bear."

Edited, again.

Apologies friend, but you don't seem to grasp the essence of this RP. Everything's just... off, and this is about the 5th time you redid your app. I conferred with Sahara for a bit, he agreed to let me pass judgement on you. I want to say this in the least rude way possible, but I think you need to do some work before you're ready to join this. Also, you don't have an RP example, which leads me to not trust you, at least without someone vouching for you.

Therefore, I regretfully ask that you leave, and I wish you good luck in other RPs.

[Peridot Best Gem]

Name: Axel Hampson
Age: 11
Gender: Male
Godly parent: Hypnos
Powers: Able to make one sleepy/go to sleep, he can tell what dreams people are having.
Appearance: Short, dark brown and short hair, big eyes, a pointy nose and pointy ears, a small mouth, an egg shaped head, a long neck, skinny figure, thin fingers, pale skin.
Personality: Mischievous, sleepy, likes to annoy people, helpful (sometimes), shy.
Biography: Axel was born in a rural town in Pennsylvania, somewhat close to Pittsburgh. His mother, Gale Hampson, had not known that Axel's father was a god, and therefore had no knowledge on what Axel was or Camp Half-Blood. At 8, his mother had slowly gotten abusive because of the absence of his father and the isolation caused by living on a farm. Axel, trying to stay away from his mother as much as possible, spent a lot of time at home with his cat. This is where he first learned he could set people to sleep, as he could will his cat to take a nap. Shortly after this, a satyr named Zeke. Zeke tells him about Camp Half-Blood, and how he can tell that Axel could be in danger. Axel, wanting to escape from his mom, eagerly accepts Zeke's offer. When they get to Camp Half-Blood, Axel pulls the golden fleece off Thalia's tree, wanting to sleep in it. Zeke, looking shocked, forces Axel to put it back. At Camp Half-Blood, Axel gets claimed by Hypnos when he is 10, and placed in the Hypnos cabin. Axel seems to be terrible at almost all camp activities, making him feel even more isolationist.
Other: Brought his cat with him to Camp Half-Blood.
RP example: King Eric Holcomb of the Indiana Empire confidently and proudly struts into a small, poorly lighted room in South Bend, where the negotiations for the alliance between the Indiana Empire and 5years shall be discussed. He plops down in a small, spinning chair and two servants come out from behind him and pull his robe out, and set it over the back of the chair. He gives a confident smile, and begins in a strong and confident voice.

"Hello, those who represent 5years! As you know, I have thought it would be in our best interests for us to work together as nations. I believe that when we leave this meeting, we will both come out as stronger nations! Now, let us begin." King Eric claps his hands, and a servant rushes to Eric and readjusts the crown on his head and readjusts his robe.

"I believe that trading will be a big part of negotiations. Now, here in the Indiana Empire, we have many types of resources to offer. Fish, corn, in fact, pretty much any livestock or food you can imagine! We have a large sector of automobiles, and several other resources. What does 5years have to offer, resource wise?

No offense intended, but I don't think Vaquas understands P2TM character RPs, just judging by the RP Example.

I apologize if I did something wrong, typically the Roleplays I participate in are less character based, and thats the one I typically use for all Applications. Its very generic I know, Its just the one I have on hand.
I've participated in the Washington DC Roleplays and am looking to get into more character-centric experiences. I'm always happy to learn.
