    So! I’ve seen a thread like this a long, long time ago when I first joined KHVs, and it was a Kingdom Hearts based story. Instead of me creating a story with my OWN characters, I’m going to let the lucky YOU create a character to fit with the story. You’ll be able to follow along the story, see what happens to your character, and always wait in anticipation for the next chapter. So who wants to play a game of fate? :3 Go ahead and read below, and feel free to make a character layout.

    This world is brimming with many secrets. It’s scary to think that we don’t know all of them, they could be important. The Holocaust was kept a secret during World War II until the very end, and look how that turned out. North Korea censors their media so no one knows what’s going on in the outside world, if they even knew it existed.

    What about the myths about those modern and olden day fantasy creatures? Like avians, angels in disguise, werewolves, half humans plagued by the full moon, maybe even vampires, blood thirsty creatures and not the kind that sparkle in the sunlight.

    They don’t really exist, science has proven it. Or is there something we don’t know about because it’s hidden from us. Maybe we’re not ready for it, or maybe it’s something else…

    Chicago, a maze of lights and wonder, a little world of questions and present danger, a place of thrill and one of the big places where someone can start out fresh and be lost in the sea of people. Everyone one has their stories to share, but not everyone is willing to share it, or they don’t even know about their story yet.

    {P l o t}

    There will be five main character positions opened for starters (Now seven because of the people viewing the thread).

    The gist of this is that all of the main characters were born to parents who couldn’t have children, but all of them tried a little experiment presented by the science lab, Grimm Experts. They weren’t told what the outcome would be if they had their children through this experiment. The tested mothers were injected with different formulas; each of them containing the DNA of a mythical creature no one believed existed.

    Some survived the pregnancy, others did not. Some were terrified of the child that they conceived and handed them over to the awaiting Grimm Experts, others didn’t know that their child was abnormal until later in their youth and either worked around them or abandoned them. Some parents don’t even know their child has strange potentials and have lived in ignorance thus far.

    {C o n f l i c t}

    All of these characters will go through the story based on how you map them out. Maybe some were raised in Grimm Experts and now are the puppet of the scientist, while others have grown up in a normal life… Until Grimm Experts decided they wanted all of these kids that survived the experiment through their mothers back under their “care†for a little plan they have in stored for all human kind…

The door is metal and like the rest of the shed and is kept closed with a chain and lock. Lock from outside when she leaves, from inside when she goes in.
    • Parents?: A mother/father, still married. Apple stops by her parents' house to make sure they're okay and leaves her winnings for them but never talks to them. Her mother knows Apple leaves the money though because she sees her dropping in the mailbox sometimes. She never goes out to talk to her though.

But when he hit 13, he started to notice that he was different from the other kids at his school and his friends. His mother tried to explain things to him but Kyle, disturbed by what his mother was saying, denied everything. His relationship with his mother suffered greatly for it. When he was 16, he got his first job working for a video game store (a job he still has today). He enjoys video games because they explore different worlds and characters; and he subconsciously is trying to find something to relate to. When he was 17, his mother was killed in a car accident by what police told him was a drunk driver. That’s when Kyle finally decided to believe what his mother had told him: he was genetically engineered, and he was part faerie.

With all of the people around her telling her different things, she feels she's easily pulled into different directions. Eventually, my hope for her is that she'll find her own standpoint, but as of now--with zero character development--she's pretty impressionable and naive about a lot of subjects.
    • Basic personality: She is quiet, insecure and easily swayed. Even with this, she finds herself being extremely expressive.

    Index of Chapters

    Chapter One
    Dim neon lights, gleaming and blinking ominously here and there in her line of vision.

    Cold, shivering in the atmosphere of the room that smelled thickly of cleaning fumes and waste chemicals.

    Bound, no way to move, except her eyes and lips.

    Quiet, save for the sound of mechanical beeps and her own rapid breathing due to the fear she was feeling inside of her.

    “Tut, tut, you should know better than to run, number thirteen.â€

    Her pastel blue eyes shifted from the ceiling to a figure standing above her, cloaked in shadows. She couldn’t see who it was, but she knew the voice. She knew it all too well.

    Who was she? No one knew, not even herself….

    Except them, they knew.

    A sharp snapping sound made her jolt out of her thoughts, just in time to see hand a hovering in the shadows above her face, fingers wiggling into the cream latex glove. The mechanical beep began to increase from its steady pace to faster, uneven rhythm, matching the pulse of her quickened heart.

    “Oh ho, scared are we?â€

    A bright light suddenly shined in her eyes, causing her to gasp and shut her eyes to block it out, trying to stop the pain from burning them.

    If only at least her arms were free so she could shield herself from it, or what was going to happen next.

    “Layla has been filling your head with nonsense,†the deep voice crooned. “The world out there will never accept you for who you are, number thirteen. Your own mother abandoned you at birth because she thought you were such a freak. I’m surprise you have a pulse for what you are.â€

    Suddenly, she heard air hissing above her and her eyes snapped open, widening in fear. Coming close her mouth and nose was what seemed to be an oxygen mask, outlined with some kind of nonsticking gel, but she knew better. The mask was soon fitted over her nose and mouth and was pressed against her skin so the gas wouldn’t escape. She couldn’t move her head, her arms and legs struggled against her metal bounds, but she couldn’t get free. All she could do was whimper in fright as she tried to see past the blinding light and to perceive the shadow man’s eyes.

    “Sleep, my child. Relax… Breathe in the oxygen. That’s right.â€

    Her throat already felt dry and her vision was already starting to blacken around the edges, her limbs were starting to slacken against her will, her eyelids were feeling heavy. She had to sleep now, but she didn’t want to. This was wrong.

    “Soon, you’ll forget about this and start your life anew once again. You’ve done this before, you know what it’s like… Dream, my child. Sleep.â€

    Darkness.

    ~Kristin "Apple"~

    “Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, good evening, good morning, time to-please, your telephone is ringing, please pick up, it is most important ,please, thank you, thank you, please, goodbye, thank you, galloh*!â€

    “Ugh… Seriously…?â€

    Kristin, or Apple as she liked to be called, rolled over on her straw woven mat and snatched up her vibrating slender dark green flip phone as it repeated the message once again. Groaning and blurry eyed, she flipped it open wondering who on earth would call at such an ungodly hour on a Saturday morning only to find out it was her alarm clock, ringing at six o’ clock. Right on time. Exasperated, she pressed the red button to turn it off, and then let her arm fall over her eyes, still clutching the phone in her hand.

    The sun was barely peeking in through the small holes of Apple’s little home, indicating that indeed it was six in the morning. To everyone else, her “home†just looked like an old beat up metal shed, which it was. But Apple really didn’t have any other place to go, and home was the last place she wanted to be. Her shed home had everything she needed from a “bed†to a radio sitting on a wooden crate, so she was set.

    Of course there wasn’t a shower or a toilet built in the shed, but the owners of the restaurant below let her use theirs. After all, for a humble abode, she was rich and she paid good cash. In fact, along with letting her use the bathroom for hygeine needs and the shed to live in, the owners also gave her meals throughout the day, along with pay for her room and board. Coming from China, fifty bucks a month was heaven to the old couple.

    Speaking of showers…

    Apple wiggled her nose as she was invaded by a foul odor and lifted her arm only slightly so she could look around the room to pinpoint that awful smell. She didn’t have to look too far though. If she wasn’t dreaming, it was coming right from the armpit of her raised arm. Scrunching her eyebrows together, she lifted her head up slightly while turning her nose to the supposed source, and sniffed.

    “Whew! That’s gross!â€

    And indeed it was coming from her armpit.

    She sighed out and then sat up on her mat, letting her white bed sheet roll off of her. After stretching her arms outward instead of up, she flung the sheets off of her and stood to her feet. “I say it’s time we hit the showers,†she spoke to herself before she looked down at herself and scoffed. “Seriously? I slept in my clothes… again.â€

    It was a rough night last night she remembered. Some new guy heard about her fight club and wanted to score one with her that night. He couldn’t wait till Tuesday, oh no. Apple didn’t mind though, money was money. The newbie went home with a broken nose and empty pockets by the time she was done with him anyways.

    After searching the floor and finding her green cap, some jeans, some unmentionables, and a decently clean shirt among the growing pile of clothes, she kicked the rest of the pile to the side to make a path for herself and grabbed for her iPod by her radio.

    She seemed like the normal kind of runaway. She found a place to call her home, she had the money she needed to survive, and she could get whatever she needed when she wanted it. Except she wasn’t normal like everyone else in this world; she could probably compare herself to the tree man but at least she could disguise what she really was from the rest of the world.

    Apple stuffed the green earbuds in her ear, cranked up the volume, and then pressed play. She smirked as her favorite song was playing, and then went about to collect what she needed to shower to rid her from her stink.

    “I wanna look good everywhere that I go
    I wanna be the lead part in the chipK freakshow
    I gotta have the best stuff just like everybody else
    I don't wanna be another clone stacked up on the shelf
    'Cos that sucks
    .â€

    She couldn’t carry a tune to save her life, but she didn’t care. She was just singing to herself after all, no one else would be listening to her up on the roof, except the pigeons. They’d have to suck it up though and hear her out, because she was in a good mood today.

    With a towel in hand, her bag with her shampoo, soap, and conditioner in it, her blue flip flops on her feet, and the key to her house hanging on a chain around her neck, she opened the lock, swung the door open and walked out in the sunshine. The sky was a bright shade of red and orange mixed with the gray smog from the city, a perfect Chicago morning. It made Apple want to sing louder.

    “Don't keep puttin' us down
    No messin' around
    We're standin' our ground
    We'll keep on makin' this noise
    The girls and the boys
    We're changin' this town
    â€

    ~Kyle and Nix~

    Another quiet room, but this one was bright and cheery. Nothing was threatening or daunting about it, and Kyle could leave whenever he wanted. It was his apartment after all.

    “Inhale… Exhale…â€

    Kyle was sitting on a bamboo mat in the middle of the living room, legs crossed like an Indian from an American story book, sitting up straight with his hands folded in his lap, and his eyes closed. The Zen Gardens by Kokin Gumi played softly on Kyle’s stereo, helping him keep his concentration as he meditated.

    This was part of his daily routine. In the mornings, he would get up, do a couple of stretches, and then meditate for about an hour. In the evening, he would train himself with thirty minutes of martial arts exercises. Thus he wasn’t the complete gaming nerd who stayed indoors all day, ate potato chips, drink some Pepsi, and got fat. He kept himself pretty active. And when he wandered the dark alleys at night to grab some groceries or just go on a walk, he was grateful that he wasn’t a full-fledged couch potato like the people at his work thought he was.

    He already had his breakfast out in front of him; cold pizza, right from the fridge. It was sitting there on a paper plate, waiting for Kyle to take a little nibble out of it. But this was part of his training today. He wanted to see how long he would last his mediation exercise with temptation right in front of him. So far he was doing pretty well, even though his stomach was growling at him to eat already.

    Someone wasn’t going to wait though. In fact, he didn’t have to wait for Kyle to be done with his meditating because he didn’t understand why in the world his master would just sit there in the middle of his living room with nothing but his pants on doing diddlysquat but breathing. It was boring, and he was hungry.

    A golden shiba inu puppy with a white belly sat three feet from Kyle, watching his master intently. Every time his master took in a deep breath, the puppy, or Kaze as Kyle had named him, would tilt his head in curiosity and wait until Kyle exhaled, going back to his regular position. It was strange to Kaze, and when he tried to paw at Kyle to pay attention to him, he would be pushed away, leaving the pup to do what he wanted.

    And that piece of cold pizza was looking dreadfully good to him right now.

    Kaze knew that if he made any false moves, he would get in trouble. He quietly laid on the floor, eyeing the pizza carefully as he glanced up at Kyle every so often to make sure he still had his eyes closed. Kyle seemed deep in his training right now, so Kaze began to crawl inch by inch across the carpet, his snout getting closer to his goal. Kyle took in another deep breath, pausing the puppy’s progress as his beady eyes looked up at his master to see if his eyes opened at all. They didn’t. By now, Kaze’s nose was touching the cold pizza, and very quietly like a ninja puppy he began to nibble no it.

    The apartment door suddenly swung open, but Kaze didn’t growl or bark, let alone look up to see who it was. He didn’t need to; he'd felt the familiarity of the intruder only a minute ago.

    Kyle, on the other hand, opened one eye to see who it was, slightly irritated that he was interrupted. But when he saw who it was, he smirked.

    “Well, look what the cat dragged in, Kaze. If it isn’t Nix- HEY! That’s MY pizza! You’re going to get FAT eating people food!â€

    What was left of the pizza was abruptly snatched from Kaze as he licked the tomato sauce off of his nose. Instead of cowering in the corner, he panted with his tongue hanging out, looking up at Kyle as if to say ‘Well you left it there for me didn’t you?’

    “Hm.†Nix, a freakishly tall seventeen year old boy with light brown hair and intense green eyes, stepped in through the door and closed it softly behind him, watching Kaze wag his tale as Kyle held the plate high above him. “You should really keep your doors locked. For all you know, I could’ve been a creeper, KF.â€

    KF was Kyle’s nickname, due to his first and last name. After watching some super hero shows on Cartoon Network together, they decided that Kyle was almost a clone of Kid Flash. With Kyle’s last name being Ferryar, the nickname worked perfectly for him.

    “Ah come on, Kaze would’ve let me know there was a bad guy at my front door. Especially if it was a Pedo Bear.â€

    “That’s not the point…â€

    Kyle chuckled as he set the half eaten cold pizza on the counter to figure out what he wanted to do with it later. “I know, I know. I’m a big boy though, I can handle myself!†Kyle turned around and flexed his arm muscle to show it off to Nix, who was obviously more fit than he was, when he noticed the sleeping bag and backpack in the other boy’s arms. His smile faltered, realizing why Nix suddenly dropped in out of the blue.

    “Uh oh… Got in another fight with your parents?â€

    “I don’t want to talk about it.â€

    Nix flopped on the red sofa, letting his stuff fall to the floor. As usual as Kyle’s routines were, this was normal too. Every time Nix got into a disagreement with his parents, he’d either come to Kyle’s house, or disappear somewhere Kyle, his best friend, didn’t know about if Kyle wasn’t home.

    Kaze, sensing Nix’s frustration, abandoned his quest to reach for the little morsel of pizza left on the counter and hopped on the couch. He then climbed up on Nix’s stomach and sat on it while looking at Nix and tilting his head.

    Nix looked up at the small puppy, and smiled little. He then reached up to Kaze’s head and started to scratch behind his ears. This was one of the reasons why he liked coming to Kyle’s house. His parents wouldn’t let him have pets because they were afraid of his… abnormal side. Why couldn’t they see him for who he really was?

    Kyle’s eyes softened as he watched his puppy interact with Nix, trying to get the guy to feel better. Though Nix was much taller than him, he was older than him by a year. Still, he felt kind of like a little big brother to Nix. He had to get his friend’s mind off of what ever happened right away. “Hey, do you want to play some SSBB*?â€

    Without even looking at Kyle, Nix reached for his backpack, unzipped the zipper, stuck his hand inside of it, and then pulled out a Wii remote to show Kyle he came prepared.

    Grinning, Kyle turned on the TV that was in front of the couch and then sat down in his spot after Nix sat up with Kaze in his lap.

    “Prepare to loose,†Kyle smirked, reaching for his Wii remote that was resting on the coffee table and turned on the TV with the remote.

    “I come in peace, you leave in pieces.â€

    The shorter boy could only chuckle as he browsed through the menus of the game to get it set up. “Later when we get bored, do you wanna head out to the aquarium? I’ve never been there before, and the price for getting in is half off. If not, we can just head to the mall and get some Starbucks.â€

    Nix sighed, petting Kaze’s fur as he laid comfortably in a ball on his lap. “Yeah, sure. We can do both.â€

    “Cool.â€

    Kyle picked out Ness as his character, while Nix picked out Lucario as his. With a click of a button, they began to duel.

    ~Adreana~

    Adreana sat on a stool in the dim light of the living room, wooden palette in one hand and a red sable round brush in the other hand. In front of her was a Blick Studio traditional three by four inch profile canvas, already painted on. Underneath her was a brown artist tarp, ready to catch any spills or drips that could occur and ruin the cherry wooden floor, but not even a spec of paint could be found on the tarp.

    Adreana was a nineteen year old graduate, and a very rich one at that. She liked things her way, and believed that she was the perfect being of the world. No one else could ever hope to match to her superiority. She decided to take the time to study her parent’s position in the family church instead of going to a University. Someday, she hoped to be able to take it over and modify it herself.

    Her fingerless black gloved hand gracefully flew over the canvas, creating a masterpiece which usually took the average person many years to master, but she wasn’t the average person. She was superior.

    The door to the living room slid open, and in stepped Wesley the bald butler. She could tolerate him although he was a simpleton from time to time. At least he entertained her more than her parents.

    “Yes, what do you want?†Adreana demanded with a little edge on her voice as Wesley slid the living room door shut, not taking her eyes off of her painting. She did not like to be disturbed, especially when she was in middle of doing something she actually liked to do.

    Wesley calmly walked to Adreana and stood two feet from her. He then folded his hands in front of him and bowed his head in respect. “Miss Adreana, your parents have expressed concern for your wellbeing within these last few days.â€

    “Oh? How so?†Her lips pressed in a thin line, not liking the sound of this at all. She liked to be indoors most of the time, and the only time she loved the fresh air was when she was able to ride her horse. But there had been heavy rain showers within the last few days, and today was the first day they cleared up. She knew they would be back though, and she did not wish to be caught in the middle of it.

    Wesley cleared his throat, clearly uncomfortable where this was going. “Well, Miss Adreana, they’ve told me you’ve been spending a tremendous amount of time indoors these last few days-“

    “It has been raining in these last few days; I didn’t want to get wet.â€

    “Yes, I understand Miss.†Wesley then fished his hand in his pocket. “The weather man has forecasted that today would be a beautiful day to enjoy the sunshine before the rain comes back. Your parents want you to leave the house for a day and spend some time at the local mall. In their words, quote, ‘She must be like the other girls and spend money on useless and useful things that make her happy.’ End quote… They have given you one thousand dollars to spend for the day.â€

    Her brush paused in midstroke.

    As she looked to Wesley, she could see that he held money out to her on his hand, but it was resting on a silk handkerchief, tied with a white string.

    “They said to at least spend five hours at the mall. Then you may come home.â€

    Although going to the mall was the last place she wanted to go, she would have to now. If she didn’t, she would be disobeying her parents’ wishes.

    ‘Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days maybe be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee…’*

    Adreana set aside her wooden palette on a petite portable table, covered it carefully with plastic film so that the paints would not dry out while she was away, cleaned off her brushes with a red cotton cloth and set them neatly by the palette, and then she arose to a standing position.

    “Let’s be on our way then.â€

    But Wesley hadn’t moved right away. He was busy examining Adreana’s work, picking out the different shades and trying to pinpoint what it was. “If you don’t mind me saying Miss Adreana, your painting of that angel is coming along nicely. I see that you are using the romantic style, very dramatic it is and religious too.â€

    Adreana turned to see her painting as well. It was that of a man with lean muscles with shaggy long ginger hair. His eyes were that of a strange rosy color, and his body was wrapped in red robes. Instead of looking up to heaven where he should’ve been, he was looking down to the ominous shadows painted in the corner of the canvas.

    “He’s a fallen angel,†Adreana merely corrected.

    ~Elliot and Kaida~

    “Hey! Good morning, Elliot!â€

    The dark red head looked up from cleaning the windows of the dolphin arena and down the hallway to the direction of the voice that startled her. When she saw who it was, Elliot sighed out in relief and placed her cleaning cloth in the bucket next to the window.

    It was none other than her friend Kaida, the delivery girl. She was fun to talk to because she was interested in oceanography, just like Elliot was. But that wasn’t the only thing Kaida was interested in; she was interested in the whole world. They were the same age, and after a few run-ins at the shark arena, they became fast friends.

    When the black haired girl came closer, Elliot smiled gently. “Good morning, Kaida. How are you?â€

    “I'm fine,†Kaida said with a grin. “What about you? Are you okay?â€

    Elliot nodded her head. “Mm-hm! Just making sure the place is clean enough for today. We’re expecting a lot of customers since today is the Half Price Off Admissions Day.â€

    “Heh, sounds like it’s going to be a busy day for sure!â€

    Elliot giggled, tucking a loose strain of hair behind her air that was poking at her eye. “So what were you delivering today?â€

    Grinning, Kaida folded her arms and then looked at the dolphins swimming around the tank, making underwater rings and doing summersaults to show off. “Eh, just important documents and some fish feed. Got here under ten minutes this time!â€

    “Oh, congratulations.†Elliot understood that in Kaida’s line of business, it was important to deliver things as fast as possible. The faster she delivered it, the more money she was paid, and the closer she got to her goal of seeing the world. Elliot felt envious of her; Kaida knew exactly what she wanted to do with her life. Elliot on the other hand had no idea what she wanted, if she could have it anyways. She believed she was good in writing, but what else could she do besides that? Kaida seemed to get along with just about every person she came in contact with. Elliot on the other hand had a hard time with that. Kaida was one of her first real friends that saw what Elliot could be.

    “Hey, what about your writing?†the dark haired girl asked with curiosity. “Did you come up with anything new yet?â€

    Funny how Elliot was just thinking about it.

    “Yes, I actually have. Do you want to hear it?â€

    The girl scoffed and raised an eyebrow at the red head. “Psh, duh!â€

    Feeling a little more confident now, Elliot reached for a pocket notepad that was tucked away in her uniform and brought it out into view. She then carefully opened it, trying not to bend the other pages and then found the poem she was looking for. She glanced at Kaida who was waiting with anticipation, and then back down at what she wrote. Elliot then took in a quick breath and hesitantly began to read.

    “It's been a while since I've seen it,
    A real one, I mean.
    There have been many replicas,
    But none with that gleam.

    The spark in your eyes,
    The crease in your cheeks,
    It's so far away,
    But still in my reach.

    I needed to see it,
    Before you were gone,
    Your memory faded,
    Not outlined for long,

    I want to remember,
    That curve that I've missed,
    The one that I've longed for,
    The one that I've kissed
    …â€**

    She trailed off, not sure if she should share the rest of it with this girl. Sure, they were friends, but they still didn’t know each other that well.

    “What are you doing? Don’t stop, I wanna hear the rest of it.†Kaida was being very truthful. She loved it when other people shared their talents with her. It made her feel like someone anyone could trust.

    Elliot gave a small smile as her eyes flitted back to the page.

    “You know I still miss you
    And wish you had stayed,
    It could have been easy,
    If it were displayed.

    The heart of my passion,
    The light in my dark,
    Your smile should link us,
    When we are apart

    If I cant revive it,
    Then find one who can,
    Just soften your voice,
    And give me your hand.

    I've tried hard to help you,
    Been all I could be,
    I hope that she'll see it,
    And make you happy.

    I'll leave you alone now,
    But think for a while,
    Would it have been different,
    If I made you smile?
    â€**

    There was a long silence for a moment. Elliot was beginning to fear that her poem wasn’t good enough; that if Kaida didn’t like it then no one-

    “I loved it!†Kaida exclaimed, catching Elliot off guard.

    “R-Really?†Elliot was dumbfounded. She never heard anyone say this to her before, but then again she really hadn’t shared her works with anyone either.

    Elliot’s friend nodded her head, and then beamed. “It sounds so sad, yet so happy; Like the speaker of the poem is trying to figure out if they made their lover happy or not. Overall, I say great work!â€

    Elliot felt her cheeks color in embarrassment. This was obviously too much to her, she didn’t think she deserved this kind of positive critique.

    Kaida’s watch alarm sounded off suddenly brought Elliot out of her thoughts. “Oh, do you have to go?â€

    Sighing out, Kaida brought her watch in view to look at the time. “Yeah, I have to get back to get more assignments. They’re just piling it on me today, but it’s okay! The more jobs, the more money, and the closer I’ll get to see Paris! Or even China. I heard their noodles are the bomb.â€

    This girl always knew how to cheer someone up, even if they didn’t need it. “You better hurry, or they’ll get mad at you,†Elliot said with a slight smile.

    “Yeah, I guess so… Hey! After I get off work and you get off work, wanna head to that new Chinese restaurant down the street and get a bite to eat? They have noodles.â€

    Elliot was surprised by this offer. No one had ever asked her to do anything with them before, not until now.

    This was an offer Elliot didn’t want to miss out on. Maybe this was her first step to finally fitting in.

    “Sure, I’d love to hang out with you after work.â€

    Kaida just finished resetting her watch, and then began to back out of the dolphin arena. “Great! Well I gotta run! See you later, Elliot!†And with that, Kaida took off down the hallway as if there was not going to be another tomorrow.

    A sigh escaped Elliot’s lips as she gazed at the dolphins swimming around in the tank. Sometimes, she felt like those dolphins behind the glass; content with the way their living was, but knowing there’s probably something more out there than people staring at you through a seven inch glass window, or doing fancy tricks for onlookers. What would life be like outside of the glass tank?

    Elliot wished she knew the answer.

    ~ Zeni ~

    Thud.

    “GRAH!â€

    Zeni Charm struggled with the gray bed sheets, trying to untangle them from his body. He fell off the bed and on the floor, again. But at least it woke him up from his nightmare. Now if only he could get out of fluffy sheets that seemed to want to cling to him.

    “Get… OFF!â€

    Finally pushing them off of him, Zeni stopped struggling and just sat there on the floor, panting. He had woken up in cold sweat, due to the strange dream he was having. It felt so real though.

    ‘I’m just freaking out,’ he thought as he ran his fingers through his red hair, making it stand on end. ‘That’s all. Probably ate some bad meat last night.â€

    But even he knew that is was impossible to get sick off of raw meat, bad or not.

    A cool breeze suddenly touched his bare back, making him shudder and pull the discarded sheets around him again.

    “D… d… d…†He couldn’t get out the curse word. He was freezing.

    Zeni grumbled as he stood up, scratching his head frustratingly around one of his horns as he went to the heater to check on it. It was all the way turned up, but why was cold air coming out?

    ‘It broke… again.’

    Growling in frustration as his teeth chattered, Zeni snatched his red Converse, a gray T-shirt, his white sweater, and his black and red checkered scarf. He already had his pants on; he slept in them.

    Taking in a quick breath, Zeni shed the gray sheets off of him and bolted to the door with his clothes in hand. His pale hand struggled to unlatch the lock as he shivered, he started to curse under his breath. Finally undoing i, he flung the apartment door opened and sprung outside while slamming the door behind him, and jogged forward until he was bent over the railing. The sun was shining on him and warming his skin, causing him great relief.

    “Ah…†He stood up straight while clutching his things to him, turned around, and leaned against the railing, letting the sunshine warm his back.

    Suddenly feeling a pair of eyes on him, Zeni looked over to his left and saw an old woman in her nighty, staring at him. She had a leash clutched in her hand, and at the other end of her leash was a little yappy brown Chihuahua, which growled and barked at him from where he was standing.

    Feeling awkward, Zeni pulled his clothes closer to his body, putting his gray T-shirt quickly on his head to hide his horns, and then saluted in the lady’s general direction. “Morning ma’am. Wonderful day, eh?â€

    The woman, seemingly offended that Zeni actually talked to her, frowned at him and then disappeared in her own apartment next door. There was then a click, specifying that she locked herself in. The Chihuahua was still yipping at him through the door.

    Zeni sighed out before dropping his things on the ground. He first pulled on his shirt, then his jacket. He was then wrapping the scarf around his neck when suddenly he felt something rub against his leg. He looked down, seeing his tabby cat, Alan arch his back against his leg again.

    “Hey there, buddy,†Zeni said with a slight smile as he crouched down so he could pet his tabby without having to bend over. “I was wondering when you were going to show up.â€

    The cat looked up at Zeni with its dark blue eyes, and then mewled at him.

    “Yeah, we kind of got frozen out of our apartment, Alan. Hey, by the time we get back from the mall, it’ll probably be fixed.â€

    Zeni then pulled on his red Converse, stroked Alan one last time, and then stood up.

    “It’s show time.â€

    • Body shape: Well built, thin.
    • Hair color/skin color/eye color: Golden eyes, dark red hair, pale white skin.
    • Typical outfit they wear: Faded green cap is almost always on her head. She only removes it to sleep/bath. A baggy dark green shirt is her favorite, doesn't wear it to fights though. When she does wear it though, she normally wears dark blue jeans with it. When going to fights she has a black tank top on often and a bigger dark blue on it and cameo or black cargo.
    • Moral views: Everyone should be able to do as they please so long as it doesn't get in the way of someone's else dreams. And everyone should be free, no one should be caged or locked down, figuratively and literally.
    • Basic personality: Smiles often and loves to play around. Likes jokes and rarely is ever seen serious, even in fights. Only time she is calm and serious is when her or someone's life is in danger. But even then she will put on a brave face and try to act like she always does.
    • Favorite Sayings: "What, that's all you got?" : "Oh, come on, I was only joking." : "Seriously..." the last one is when she talks to herself mostly when things go wrong like she drops something, trips, etc.
    • Do they or do not have a job? What kind if so?: Fight Club.
    • Method of transportation: Walk in public, fly around sometimes but very rarely does she use her powers. Will sometimes get a bus or taxi.
    • Favorite genre of music: Likes anything with a good beat, normally a fast one too. Rarely listens to slow music but loves it just the same.
    • Their theme song: This.
    • Favorite place to be: Sleeping in her makeshift house, in the park where the fights happen, or at the graveyard. She doesn't know why she likes the last place though. Perhaps it's cause she wishes to see/hear a ghost some day, but it's also strangely relaxing to her.
    • Goals for the present: Don't miss the match on Tuesday, in the park. Win, get paid one hundred. Lose...losing is not an option.
    • Long-range goal: Besides winning fights she has no goals.
    • Do they go to middle school/high school?: No.
    • What kind of place do they live in?: Better explained in the bedroom section.
    • Any kind of pet? What kind if so?: No.
    • Favorite food(s): Fruit, ice cream, and ham.
    • What is their financial situation?: Homeless [cause her living space isn't technically a home, lol] But has enough money to buy whatever she wants, which is much besides food and to keep phone, radio, and such working.
    • Hobby: (List one to as many as you see fit)
    • Normal Skill: Hand-to-hand combat, gamer chick, very good at dodging, stuff.
    • Supernatural abilities: A half dragon form [wings, some white scales on her body, claws, fangs, the works], ice breath, control ice [ice only, must freeze water].
    • Favorite book and/or last-read book: Last-read: Hunger.
    • What is the bedroom like?: A metal shed on top of a tall building. It has a mat in the corner with one pillow and sheet, both white, a battery-powered radio across from it laying on top of a wooden box, much clutter on the floor. It's not very big, and no windows. The door is metal and like the rest of the shed and is kept closed with a chain and lock. Lock from outside when she leaves, from inside when she goes in.
    • Parents?: A mother/father, still married. Apple stops by her parents' house to make sure they're okay and leaves her winnings for them but never talks to them. Her mother knows Apple leaves the money though because she sees her dropping in the mailbox sometimes. She never goes out to talk to her though. Her father joined Grimm after learning what Apple was and says he is helping them find a cure but he really wants to find a way to use the supernatural beings for his own good.
    • Fears: Losing her family/causing them pain, being locked up, being human.
    • Other things that weren’t covered here: Hates being ditched. Can't cook, can't dance, can't sing. Has a slender dark green flip phone, her contacts being people involved in the fight clubs. Has an iPod too.

    Wow! Great description of your character! I can really work with this. :3 She'll be fun to type out when her time comes up in the chapters. You are in, lovely! :glomp:

    There's only one opening left, so who ever wants it better speak up now. Also, we need more guy characters. We're going to have a ton of girls in this story. Eh, if it ends up being one guy and several girls, I'll figure out some way to work around it. So far I have in two profiles. Waiting for the others to drop on in.

    • Other things that weren’t covered here: Kyle happily grew up with his mother as any other single-parented child would. But when he hit 13, he started to notice that he was different from the other kids at his school and his friends. His mother tried to explain things to him but Kyle, disturbed by what his mother was saying, denied everything. His relationship with his mother suffered greatly for it. When he was 16, he got his first job working for a video game store (a job he still has today). He enjoys video games because they explore different worlds and characters; and he subconsciously is trying to find something to relate to. When he was 17, his mother was killed in a car accident by what police told him was a drunk driver. That’s when Kyle finally decided to believe what his mother had told him: he was genetically engineered, and he was part faerie.

    Awesome idea. :D

    • What is his/her name: Elliot Sky.
    • Gender: Female.
    • Age: Seventeen.
    • Half Species Type: Mermaid.
    • Height/weight: 5'7". / 127
    • Body shape: She is average, for the most part. Her waist curves in, and she's rather slender, but she finds herself self conscious about her legs for some reason. She can fit into a pair of jeans fine, but there's something about them...
    • Hair color/skin color/eye color:Dark Red//Bright Green.
    • Typical outfit they wear: Simple in appearance, she prefers to wear a dark shade of either skinny jeans, or leggings and a skirt. She loves plaid, and bright colors. Ironic for someone who likes to blend in.
    • Moral views: She has a bit of trouble figuring out what is right, and what's wrong. With all of the people around her telling her different things, she feels she's easily pulled into different directions. Eventually, my hope for her is that she'll find her own standpoint, but as of now--with zero character development--she's pretty impressionable and naive about a lot of subjects.
    • Basic personality: She is quiet, insecure and easily swayed. Even with this, she finds herself being extremely expressive. One day she might say and defend one things with all her being--where the next day she can completely change her mind. While most see it as being two-faced, she's honestly just trying to find her way.
    • Favorite Saying: "...This is confusing."
    • Do they or do not have a job? What kind if so?: She does indeed. She works at the Aquarium, though she refrained from choosing the more personal experience of being the tour guide, and instead cleans the windows, sweeps around and feeds the animals from time to time.
    • Method of transportation: She takes the bus everywhere she goes.
    • Favorite genre of music: She's a big fan of classical music, though she also loves to dance, and can adapt to most genres.
    • Their theme song: Everything is Alright - Motion City Soundtrack.

    • Favorite place to be: She's actually quite fond of her job. She enjoys being around water.
    • Goals for the present: She wants to fit in and save up lots of money for her first car. She would also like to organize a trip to the beach.
    • Long-range goal: To find her place, find her voice--and figure out where she stands. She wants to have enough self-confidence to move forward in life without regret or second-guessing her actions.
    • Do they go to middle school/high school?: She attend a public high school.
    • What kind of place do they live in?: She lives in an apartment.
    • Any kind of pet? What kind if so?: No pets.
    • Favorite food(s): She has a love for pasta. All things pasta.
    • What is their financial situation?: She is middle class.
    • Hobby: She enjoys reading, cooking, swimming and jogging in the mornings (on weekends.)
    • Normal Skill: She's a pretty good writer, but she's not sure what she's really good at. She hasn't really found a passion.
    • Supernatural abilities: She can hold her breath under water endlessly. She's also able to manipulate water, to an extent.
    • Favorite book and/or last-read book: The Magician - By Lev Grossman.
    • What is the bedroom like?: She has a fairly small room, with a twin size bed. Eh. I don't know what else. xD She has a closet and a bookcase, and a small desk with a laptop.
    • Parents?: She lives with her father, but they barely speak.
    • Fears: She's afraid she'll be left behind or forgotten about, because of how confused she gets under pressure.
    • Other things that weren’t covered here: Good luck.

    Woot, we have another guy character! ^^ I think you missed a few things though, like what his special abilities are. D: That's the most important one. And also his eye color (Added that in when you were gone) Other than that, you're set for now. 8D

    And yush Britishism I got your character. There's still one spot open if anyone wants to take it.

    EDIT:

    Hm, very interesting character. It'll be somewhat of a challenge, but I enjoy to try new things. ;D I think we're waiting on two people now to respond to me.

    We have a lot of characters with attitudes. Lol, this will prove to be entertaining.

    Oohoo! Another little challenge for me! ^^ You are in the story Plums.

    So! We need to get a couple things straight before I write the first chapter: Do any of you guys want to be friends with any of the characters listed above or do you wish to be alone in the beginning then meet up with someone later? Yes, even though I'm the writer, I still want to appeal to those who took the time and effort to make their characters. Also, this doesn't apply to Garxena since she already put something in her profile, do any of you want to have any ties with Grimm Experts or find out about it much later? Answer these for me, and then I can formulate the story better.

    P.S. We have a lot of short tempered, fighting characters. xD lol

    I can change Kyle's temperament if ya'd like. Having a bunch of people who are willing to fight might cause a lot of problems. Unless! Unless they are buds and therefore wouldn't want to fight each other. It could be something known as group polarity or group-think in psychology. It's a cool effect where people who hang out together a lot act like each other or adopt the same kind of personality. But that could have downsides to the story as well. I think it'd be best if not everyone knew each other. Maybe a couple, but not all of them.

    EDIT: Then again, it could be frickin' hilarious to watch them fight all the time! And then slowly grow to accept each other. Now I've got ideas scrambling around in mah brain!

    Indeed we do. I think instead of being bad, though, it'll be kind of awesome.
    I mean, they're all different kinds of fighty.
    I'm incredibly interested now. Incredibly interested.

    However, it's up to them but I think that it would be nice to see the characters meet eachother throughout the story.

    Because of my characters personality, she could be the...wanderer. Maybe not have a close friend at the start, but not mind interacting with all of them, until she finds her place. I don't really care. xD Also, I'd rather find out later.

    Well I said my character's dad works for them. Friend wise Apple would know some people in the club but no real friends. Perhaps latter on she can befriend the others.

    ...Least Apple isn't short tempered XD lol

    Haha! mines not short tempered at all!!! i dont think i mentioned anything about fighting though.

    Kaida (my character) has probably seen the other characters around (because of her delivery job) but doesnt really interact with them until the story starts.

    EDIT just realized, i never answered your other question. the Grimms one. hmmm... she escaped when she was 4 and only has vague memories which she currently believes is just a childhood nightmare and not a memory. hope this doesnt mess with anything!

    When I read your profile I got this idea in my head where she has to delivery something to one of the other characters and gets caught up in some conflict. Since I'm selfish when imagining things randomly it was my character who had to run from the cops since of the fight club thing. But it can be anything, and is up to Maka in the end. c:

    Is there still space in this? I would like to make a character, but if there is no space then that's fine :). My Banshee will just have to sit on the shelf, wailing away ...
