Our Story So Far...
Nothing as of yet, but watch this space.
[center][b]Our Cast[/b][/center] [quote=Nemesis] [b]Name:[/b] Daniel [b]Personality:[/b] A quiet soul, Daniel is not fond of socializing with other spirits. This is primarily because he finds understanding their motivations as well as predicting their actions to be difficult. They never seem to be quite straightforward enough for him, whereas he always prefers to be direct. That does not mean he will entirely avoid conversation, however. The most certain way to reel him in is to begin a discussion on a more technical subject. While initially hesitant, he’ll eventually offer up his own opinions on the matter. When faced with more forceful personalities, Daniel often lacks a spine. He finds himself petrified to voice any disagreement in their presence. The louder they are, the more likely he is to bow to their will. He is far too aware of this problem and usually resents himself later for giving in to pressure so easily. When tackling a problem, he will always opt for what appears to be the simplest solution.

They are always searching for more knowledge, always wondering how things work. Sheridan is fairly observant, often making note of details. Sheridan is an introvert, happy to be on their own, though they do get lonely sometimes. When interacting with people, they enjoy having conversations, learning about people and the way they think and view the world. Sheridan especially enjoys discussing scientific subjects, hypothesizing about whatever catches their interest at the moment. Sheridan doesn't like when people say mean things about other people for no good reason, and will usually try to avoid people who are regularly mean. They may try to defend the person who is being picked on, unless it could be dangerous for them, in which case, they will remain silent and keep their anger inside. When a problem arises, Sheridan will try to think of all plausible solutions, and choose the best one for the situation. Sheridan is always happy to learn something new, even something seemingly useless.

Self-righteous and rude, he despises being looked down on or underestimated, especially by those he considers beneath him. Though he talks a big game, he is remarkably mediocre in everything he attempts and only ever succeeds due to the graces or sympathies of those around him For all his stubbornness and ego, Sims is very aware he has no talents and does not measure up to the impossibly high standards he imposes on others. He desperately longs to be liked and exceptional, and is obviously and very insecure about being neither of those things. This only makes him meaner, especially in the presence of others who are liked and skillful. While Sims isn’t exceptionally intelligent, he is very observant and has good intuition regarding other people’s motivations and feelings. He can be remarkably cruel when he wants to be and he enjoys having power over others/harming others when the opportunity presents itself-- which is not often, considering that he is 2 inches long.

Peggy is often regarded as brave and outgoing, but also stubborn and relentless. She is very decisive, and rarely takes no for an answer when her mind is set. She has an energy that commands attention, and has no qualms being the center of everyone’s interest. She can be sassy, and will often reply to derisive remarks with some quick witted insult. In the grand scheme of things, she’s not exactly a team player, instead focusing on the philosophy of helping yourself before helping others. To her, the ends justify the means in almost any situation. If there’s something that in her opinion needs changing, she’s not afraid to change it, no matter how many people she has to step on to do so. Trust isn’t one of her strong suits, and she tends to veer away from men whenever possible.

Almost always smiling, he speaks in a commanding tone to draw attention of his listeners. He is constantly joking and telling stories, often of himself, and some would say he is the jester of any group. He's not one to shy away from difficult situations, as long as someone is watching to notice his deeds, as Tadhg has a ravenous ego. He flourishes under attention from others, and will pout when he is ignored for too long. This dramatic display can turn to anger if he isn't stopped quickly enough, and results in short outbursts of bitter words and shouting. Despite his outward mannerism, underneath Tadhg is much smarter than he appears. Though he may often play the part of fool, he is smarter than he looks, and plays dumb to get information on others. Tadhg is a notorious gossiper, and loves to sprinkle in other peoples business into his stories to create strife. When questioned, his excuse for doing this simply for fun, but in reality he does it to fuel his own ego, feeling better about himself when others appear lower on the social scale. Relationship wise, Tadhg rarely gets close with people, preferring to remain distant so he doesn't feel bad when he eventually gossips or snaps at them. On the rare occasion Tadhg does make a closer bond with someone, its often a short one. He has a tendency to be clingy, and while he has the benefit of always sticking up for you, it comes with the downside of Tadhg always wanting your attention. Only a stronger personality, or someone Tadhg views as a "bigger fish" could make him act like a responsible person. Or at least a less clingy one.

If that wasn't enough she's as headstrong as she is idealistic. It's a rare thing to see Arabella ever take no for an answer after springing to action, especially if the matter is something she dreams of having for herself. She is well known in many circles of every type of spirit, flying around like the social butterfly, or bat in this case, that she is. That's not to say Arabella gets along with everyone, in fact her ideas are too disorganized and unrealistic for most spirits to tolerate for more than a minute but she has a knack for getting others to open their mouths long before she opens hers. It would be safe to assume that Arabella is sensitive in the way a poet might be. For all her uncaring when it comes to others' judgement, she seems to glow from the inside out when in good company. Her friends are a constant source of happiness to her, and she strives to do the same for others. She surrounds herself with the theatrical and exciting, drawn to music like a moth to the flame and always eager to hear another story or two from whoever she might come across. Arabella has an impressive amount of patience for someone so rarely found sitting still when it comes to other spirits, but she does have a breaking point. If push ever comes to shove her adamant streak springs into action, usually accompanied by the brilliantly petty display of flying into the offender's face while angrily noting their usual lack of opposable thumbs.

Okay, discussion goes here. Use it for whatever sort of chatter you like.

It'll take a while to write things up for the IC, but I should be able to get things really started in a reasonable span of time. Few days at the absolute most, and that's if finals complicate matters for me.

Anyway, I look forward to beginning this journey with the rest of you!

I didn’t realize that they only remembered their first names when I posted my official application, so could you please remove Margaret’s last name from her application? Sorry about that.

Did you want our characters to be meeting for the first time or could we potentially develop in-Home history with them?

If you want to, and whoever you want to build history with is on board with figuring it out, then I don't see any particular problem with doing so. It'd be a contribution to the group dynamic if there's prior interactions as well as first meetings.

Working on the first post for the IC right now. It's looking like it'll end up being rather wordy, so apologies in advance if you have to read through a lengthy set up.
