*rolls in*
Name: Shannon Walsh
Sex: Female
Gender: Female
Grade: 10th
Role: Student
Birthday: 10/04/2002
Hometown: Salem, Oregon
Appearance: Height, Weight, and Body Type: 5'5, 117 lbs, slender
Personality: Shannon is generally quite cheery and nice, especially for someone who's only just started at a new school. Sometimes she'll stutter or repeat a word, or seem a bit nervous, but that's really only to be expected from someone in her situation, surrounded by strangers, isn't it? She's a bit of a geek, though she doesn't show it openly, and a music lover, but if one examines her interests more closely, they'd find she has a bit of a taste for the morbid and creepy, making an interesting contrast to her outward 'cute and happy' appearance.
Sexual Orientation: 2
Moral Alignment: Neutral Good (Lawful)
Personal Skills: Shannon's talent lies in music and art--she has a lovely singing voice and plays piano well, and is an excellent sketch artist. She's quick and agile, though neither of those traits are developed to their full potential. And she's good at making friends, due to her bright personality... even if she can scare them a little. And she's a good cook.
Personal Vulnerabilities: She seems to be easily distracted, and has a hard time focusing on one thing for more than a little while--probably one of the main reasons that her grades are only so-so, rather than truly good. Additionally, she has an exaggerated (and sometimes even violent) startle response, which can be troublesome in otherwise-innocent situations. Occasionally, she'll have episodes of suspicion and paranoia, which can be set off by the smallest of things.
Biography: Shannon's past is... very fuzzy. In fact, if one were to search for information on her, it would start in the previous summer, and no sooner. Due to this, it appears as if there are no records of her at all before the summer of 2017, which is a bit odd, don't you think? Anyone asking questions will almost always be met with suspicious glances and noncommittal answers, usually with a decent amount of stuttering and repetition thrown in... Something's definitely up with that one. But
what?RP Sample: But you know me. (So do two of your co-OPs, for that matter, but you know me from the most recent thing, now, don't you?)
Other: Liar.Name: Ryan Carter
Sex: Female
Gender: Female
Grade: 10th
Role: Student
Birthday: 03/16/2002
Hometown: Daytona Beach, Florida
Appearance: Height, Weight, and Body Type: 5'7, 125 lbs, wiry
Personality: Somewhat of a delinquent and most certainly a tomboy, as far as anyone knows, Ryan does her best to keep her reputation alive and is generally rather likable due to her cheerful personality and athletic prowess. What most people aren't aware of is what lies under her outward actions--Ryan has her girly side as well, although she doesn't allow anyone to see it. After all, she has a reputation to uphold, and her hidden interests don't exactly enhance it.
Sexual Orientation: 6
Moral Alignment: True Neutral (Good)
Personal Skills: Ryan is a skilled athlete, with excellent speed, strength, hand-eye coordination--you name it, she can excel in it. It's a point of personal pride for her that she rarely loses in a physical contest. She also has a keen eye for fashion and is quite good with art.
Personal Vulnerabilities: With surprisingly low self-esteem for one who is generally well-liked, Ryan is far too easily upset by her own failures. On top of that, she has a sharp tongue and is quick to snap back if she feels disparaged, which can easily get her into trouble, and she struggles academically, to the point that she often doesn't bother to complete assignments out of fear that she'll fail.
Biography: Ryan's life has been somewhat difficult, a fact which she does her best to hide from others. Her mother died giving birth to her, leaving Ryan with only a father to raise her--the main thing which shaped her life. Her father meant well, but didn't know how to raise a daughter, so that Ryan was only able to indulge her more feminine side alone, quickly growing to feel ashamed of it when she saw how positively others responded to her outwardly tomboyish appearance, believing that, if they liked the tomboyish Ryan, they wouldn't like the girly Ryan at all. She also grew to believe that her father would have been happier if she had been a boy, and did her best to be what she thought he wanted. It's due to that that her life was devoted to sports and her more feminine side repressed, hidden from everyone out of shame. This is also the reason for her low self-esteem, as she considers herself a failure to her father if she can't be what she thinks he wants her to be, when the truth is that he wants her to be herself but doesn't know how to tell her that.
It's due to this hyperfocusing on what she believes he wants, combined with general learning difficulties, that her grades have suffered. In short, had Ryan's mother survived, her life would most likely have been radically different, but as it is, we can only know what we are able to see; that is, the present, under the current and true circumstances.
RP Sample: See above, please.
Other: She adores candy. Especially gummy bears.
Name: Eleanor Moran
Sex: Female
Gender: Female
Grade: 11th
Role: Student
Birthday: 12/14/2001
Hometown: London, England
Appearance: Height, Weight, and Body Type: 5'6, 135 lbs, thin
Personality: Eleanor acts somewhat aloof and tends to distance herself from others. Besides just being antisocial, however, she really
does seem to be too busy--she's never seen relaxing, and is usually found doing schoolwork or studying...
something. Another notable thing about her is that she can often be found pacing back and forth as if trapped in a box, muttering urgently to herself and moving away whenever someone gets close enough to overhear. The last of her most obvious idiosyncrasies are the two ornaments she always wears in her hair. There must be some significance to them, considering that she's never been seen without them, but what exactly that significance is is unknown.
Sexual Orientation: X
Moral Alignment: Lawful Neutral (Good)
Personal Skills: Academic excellence is something that has always been attributed to Eleanor, which is hardly surprising considering that she seems to spend every minute of the day working or studying. When approached by another person, she seems to speak with perfect politeness as well, suggesting skills in etiquette, though she is distant and can't be called 'friendly' by any real stretch of the imagination. Skilled martial artist, though not athletic in any other way.
Personal Vulnerabilities: Well, she
does work too much.
The more time that passes, the more she wears herself down, over and over and over again with no relief. On top of that, there's what seems to be a lack of any real interpersonal skills. Her hair ornaments seem to be another vulnerability, and she appears to be sensitive about them. She's rather judgmental, of both others and herself, and holds everyone to ridiculously high standards, to the point that it would be close to impossible to measure up. Yet her standards for herself seem to be even higher, leading her to push herself constantly in order to reach them. This is exhausting and frustrating, which only makes her push herself harder in hope of relief, and feel even worse when she inevitably fails. It's a never-ending cycle. In short, she's very, very stressed out, and worn almost to the breaking point.
Biography: Eleanor spent much of her childhood in London, and was enrolled in a private school for several years before an undisclosed incident led her family to hurriedly remove her from said institution, at which point she was sent to a boarding school in Connecticut for another few years. During this time, she was reported to be psychologically unstable, and anyone who knew her at the time would easily be able to report this as the truth. Whatever it was that was bothering her, it drove her closer and closer to the edge, until she finally cracked. A violent outburst ended in three other students being seriously injured, and led to her being expelled from the school and placed into therapy for a good while. After transferring to CDA, she became withdrawn and studious, seeming to have completely changed from the unstable girl who had left Connecticut. However, since it's still not entirely clear what caused her breakdown in the first place, it's entirely possible that she may have another outburst, especially with the pressure she seems to put on herself. Time will tell.
RP Sample: ...
Other: She has a rather faint accent, which makes itself more noticeable when she becomes emotional. She is also rather wealthy.
