Her name has a meaning in Italian, and I translated it for those who are interested name: Carina (=Pretty) Capriccio (= Whim) nicknames (if any): Cara (=beloved, mostly used by her father and brothers currently) age: 17 type: earth gender: female body color: red hair color: dark brown cut short eye color: indigo symbol: white kitten personality/temperament (how they act: quiet, daring, etc.): Carina isn’t exactly unfriendly, but she doesn’t like to put herself forth much, and doesn’t feel comfortable with too shallow people, and thus her social circle is rather small. She likes to stay in the background, but might put in a comment or two sometimes, and can be drawn into discussions fairly easily, if she finds the topic worth her while. She is fearless and would probably appear rather secretive than shy, as she has the air of confidence about her. She has high standards when it comes to boys, and some evil tongues claim that she is frigid, but in fact she merely brushes off those boys she feels are not for her. She values honesty and earthliness, and is not interested in trendy or popular guys nor about sexiness. She is not easy to flirt with, as she is mostly interested in what is inside, not about what you can see on the outside. In addition, she is bisexual, so boys are not the only thing she is interested in. clothes: sporty clothes. Her usual clothing consists of either shorts or a short white skirt (like a tennis skirt), sneakers and open tops or loose sports jackets etc. When she wears a skirt, she usually wears long, socks that go a little above the knee (stockings?). pets (if they have any): parrot named Nonno (means “grandpa” in Italian) history: Carina was born into the family that owns the pizzeria Little Italy. She has had to take care of her father and brothers as the only woman in the family since her mother died when she was twelve years old. She has three older brothers and an elderly father who tends to the counter and the bar of the restaurant. Her brothers also help out at the pizzeria, although her eldest brother is in the military, so he doesn’t work there much. She has little plans for after high school, since she knows her family can’t afford to send her to any good school afterwards, but she still works for her grades, at least enough to keep them at a tolerable level so that in case any opportunities would arise, she will not miss out on anything for her grades. She’s very sports-oriented and athletic, and is part of the cheerleading team. She does most of her other exercising outside school activities, however, and she can be usually seen running in the evenings her practice rounds. She keeps her body trimmed in top shape, but health is not her only interest. Her passion is dancing and singing; she dreams of a career in music business. She is thus part of the choir, but doesn’t attend the band because she doesn’t have the money to get herself any sort of an instrument (but if there would be a place for a vocalist in the band, she might be persuaded – only she doesn’t believe she has a very good voice). Nowadays she is quite lonely, but as she isn’t into gossiping about boys or being trendy or anything like that, she doesn’t really care to be part of the popular groups, anyway. She considers Sweetheart her friend, but hasn’t really talked with anyone besides her. birthplace: this town

hehe, I thought up this guy some months back but felt like getting him over here only now. Bear with me - I like everything Scottish. name: Rowan MacDamon nicknames (if any): Rowie age: 18 type: earth gender: male body color: dark green hair color: fiery red eye color: dark blue symbol: a rowan tree wrapped in the MacDamon clan tartan (which is green, red and blue by colour) personality/temperament (how they act: quiet, daring, etc.): Rowan has a feisty temperament and lets no one push him around. He is easy to get into a fight due to his strong sense of pride – you insult him, you pay for it. Strangely enough, he doesn’t go looking for action, however. He rather prefers to make friends, and in truth he is very shy, though he manages to hide it well beneath a loud exterior. The girls he’s dated would know the real him, however, since his shyness comes out when he goes out with girls. He’s proud of his Highland Scottish roots so he does his best to live up to his proud clan name (and no, there is no such clan in real life Scotland). clothes: a tartan. Yes, you heard me. He wears his clan tartan despite the possible – or eminent – ridicule he might receive from doing so. Beneath the tartan – well, he does wear underwear for the most of the time. But other than that, nothing. He doesn’t like wearing shirts, so whenever it’s warm enough he goes without. (In case there are real winters – meaning temperatures going below minus 10 degrees Celsius – he will probably wear something beneath the tartan, but if not, he tells you you’re a wussy if you can’t take it.) He wears rather traditional Highland clothing in general and has a silver medallion with his clan emblem on it (yet to decide on the clan emblem). pets (if they have any): he’s got a mean big ugly shepherd dog with long white fur and pointy ears. It isn’t of any special breed and it’s called Brùideil (which means “beastly”, “barbaric”, “cruel” etc in Gaelic if I’m not completely mistaken). Or some just call him Brute. history: Born in the Highlands of Scotland, Rowan was taught the old ways by her family, which is one of the last to uphold the proud clanship tradition of the Gaelic ways. His first language is Gaelic, though he learned English alongside it, so he is actually bilingual. Rowan’s family moved out of their old clan lands because of a job offer. Rowan's father died only five years ago into an unexpected heart attack, and his mother was left alone with four children. Though the clan helped as best they could, living wasn't easy for anyone back home. Therefore, Rowan’s mother seized an opportunity to work abroad for a travelling agency, and now his family lives in [name of this town]. Rowan has three siblings – two brothers and one sister – but he's the only one of the four children to actually wear a kilt. His father used to be very proud of him, of course, but his younger sister (age 12) tends to laugh at him. His brothers are only five and six years old, so they don't much understand what's going on. They are always dressed in their clan tartan coloured clothing. Rowan's sister does wear her clan colours in her skirt, but she tends to like more modern clothing than Rowan, which has caused a bit of a scuffle between the siblings as Rowan insists on pride of tradition. He would even carry a sword if he could. Currently, Rowan knows no one here. The family's moving was delayed due to a set of accidents and setbacks which appear quite frequent in Rowan's family. Consequently, Rowan is starting up school only on Tuesday, a day late. The furniture is still out of place but at least they have mattresses. birthplace: Beinn Dearg – a mountain in the Highlands of Scotland. Her parents were on a hike there when he suddenly decided he wanted out of the womb.

Ok, here's the two lovebirds. name: Meadowlark Vaillant (maiden name Springling) nicknames (if any): Lark age: 27 type: earth gender: female body color: pink hair color: yellow eye color: blue symbol: a ballerina shoe on top of a yellow star personality/temperament (how they act: quiet, daring, etc.): Meadowlark was always very romantic, kind and mature. She never seemed to get jealous at anyone, nor angry at anyone, and always found it in her heart to forgive, no matter how badly she had been offended. This means she was easy to manipulate. Nowadays she still retains her good nature in many respects, but she has become a little neurotic and insecure from inside. On the outside, she appears the same Meadowlark she always was, but on the inside she has reached a breaking point. clothes: Meadowlark always wears designer clothes that are not too extravagant or flashy or revealing but not too common either. She is still the belle to be noticed, and she never leaves the house unless she is well dressed. She loves jewellery and has a wide collection. Her usual clothing includes skirts and high heels, other than that she hasn’t any particular style. pets (if they have any): none history: Meadowlark was always very successful. She was a natural talent in dancing, and became a star at the age of 20 or so. Her family was very loving and happy, though with a slightly nervous mother. The whole family is very artistic, as her father is an artist and she herself became a ballet star. Her little sister Clover used to take dancing lessons as well, her dream to become as good as Meadowlark. Back then Meadowlark and Clover were still rather close, or at least close enough for Meadowlark to know what was going on in Clover’s life approximately. Nowadays Lark has grown away from her family. For the past seven years or so she has been mostly absent. Her company toured far away around Ponyland and Europe, and she gained even more fame, never letting it get into her head, however. Eventually she got offered a role in a film in France, together with Cheval, and they accepted. Since then nothing has been the same for her. They became a huge hit in France along with the film, Cheval especially. He was offered a spot in a French soap opera show, and he accepted. This meant he stayed in France, and Lark chose to stay with him. She turned to theatre and started starring in productions there. She has become very famous of her name role in a French production of Romeo and Juliet. Cheval himself starred as Romeo for a time before his acting for the TV-show consumed his time. Lark changed during her years in France. She was always the one to make sacrifices for her loved ones, especially her husband Cheval. This was why she gave up her ballet career to stay with him in France. This was why she never complained when he started to change. But this was why her mental balance began to falter. He started to ignore her and they started to see each other less and less even though they lived together. He would stay out late and offer no explanation. Lark would let it slide. He would start bringing his friends over to their home and close Lark out, and she would just hear them laughing behind closed doors and not know what was going on. Still, she would not confront Cheval. His behaviour became ever more distant, until Lark realised that in truth, she had never known him at all. He had never been as close to her as she had wanted to imagine. He hardly ever spoke about herself, he merely gave her gifts and was very charming, and she had fallen in love with an image of him she wanted to see. His proposal had made all her dreams come true. She never questioned it, never suspected it, never wanted to see anything more than what she wanted to. Now she’s paying the price. Her dreams are shattering about her, and she doesn’t know what to do. She has finally attempted to confront Cheval about it, but he denies anything being wrong. He wouldn’t answer to her at all, he simply sent her a dozen roses the next day and has acted as though nothing was different ever since. Desperate, she has given it up and tries to go on like nothing is wrong, but it is becoming harder all the time. Now she and Cheval have been offered a place in a Romeo and Juliet production in [this town]. They accepted – Cheval’s accepting was a slight surprise to Lark – and now they are arriving home, to stay at least until Christmas. Secretly Meadowlark is planning to stay behind when Cheval returns to France. She would want to tell her family of her troubles but she doesn’t want to shatter the illusion of being the “perfect daughter” and therefore she tries to act as though nothing’s wrong. birthplace: believe it or not, she was actually born in the theatre. name: Cheval Vaillant nicknames (if any): Chevy (dislikes this) age: 30 type: earth gender: male body color: tan beige hair color: dark red eye color: blue symbol: black top hat and a gentleman’s cane(I think) personality/temperament (how they act: quiet, daring, etc.): Cheval is always very politically correct and knows good manners. He never lets his outer calmness and politeness fail. Inside, however, there lies a very confused man who doesn’t himself know what he wants or who he is. clothes: very refined suits and elegant clothing. Changes by the day, but is always very dignified and gentlemanly. pets (if they have any): none history: Cheval was born for stardom, you might say. His parents were very rich and aristocratic and gave him everything he could ever dream of. He got a gentleman’s education from very early on and you might say that in many ways he lives still in the 19th century along with the rich elite which his family was part of. When he was young, he took acting lessons and dancing lessons and was always very artistically oriented. He is, however, what one could call a one-character actor. His skills in acting have never allowed him a vast array of different characters, and so his interests eventually turned to dancing and ballet rather than acting. He became a common hero figure in productions, and was a ballet star already when he first met Meadowlark. Meadowlark was a promising young talent and Cheval took her under his wing. Eventually the two ended up going on dates and before Cheval knew it, he had proposed and Meadowlark had accepted. It was all like a dream, though mostly just for Meadowlark. Cheval felt himself a part of a dream he couldn’t quite grasp. He continued the act of a wonderful gentleman from the stage into his personal life. What went on inside Cheval during the early years of the marriage is difficult to describe. He had been raised as a gentleman and a nobleman who never lets his emotions show and who never forgets his manners, and he had trouble ever rising beyond that education. He did as his parents wanted most of his youth and when he became a famous ballet star and married another famous ballet star his parents were happy. When he got the role in the soap opera and returned home to France, he still lived his parents’ dream. He bought himself a luxurious villa and threw parties the way they wanted him to. In his heart, however, he began to distance himself more and more from the lifestyle he was caught in, and also from Meadowlark, who he felt was just another part of the gilded cage that was holding him. He enjoys the fame, at least on the outside, and parties with his (male) friends privately, living the chauvinistic aristocratic life his parents gave him an example of. When Lark confronted him once, he brushed it off, mostly because he himself didn’t really know exactly why he was behaving that way towards the lovely woman he had married. He is now following her into her old home mostly to keep up the appearances, though in his heart he worries that it might all come out, and he wouldn’t know what to do. birthplace: an old mansion in France

Will I never stop?
name: Bright Eyes Preston nicknames (if any): Bee age: 17 type: earth gender: female body color: light aqua green hair color: orange eye color: pink symbol: red notepad with pencil personality/temperament (how they act: quiet, daring, etc.): Bee was always the brains of the crowd. She is obsessed with reading, has been reading ever since she was five years old, and has probably gone through every single classic ever written in the English language. And then some. Secretly she loves fantasy and medieval role-playing, but as she fears she might be thought a geek for it, she doesn’t dare to speak about it to others. She is quite ok with not being with the in-crowd. She’s never been “cool” and she knows it. She rather likes to be smart and has a terrible fear of failure, and a pressure to over-achievement. She has to be the best in everything, science, literature, math, you name it. She works hard for her grades but never seems to get them high enough. She has a load of insecurities and has developed a set of neurotic patterns. She is struggling with bulimic tendencies, and is probably one of the skinniest girls in school. clothes: currently: spring green sweater with pink and aqua blue stripe decorations, dark brown mocca skirt a little below the knees and matching brown belt with decorated buckle and dark olive green mocca boots. She believes she is fat, and therefore the sweater is of the loose type, to hide her body formation better (in fact it serves to hide the fact that she’s too thin to be healthy). pets (if they have any): none; she’s mildly allergic to most history: Bee lived a relatively happy childhood, without anything too exciting going on. Her mother is dead, but as she was too young when this happened, she hardly remembers her. His father works at the local newspaper, and has always encouraged Bee’s natural writing talents, hoping to see her become a reporter one day, even pressuring her a little.
Bee’s problems began when she started high school. She had always been hard-working when it came to school, and always a nice girl. She didn’t do make up or hair-dos or anything else like that. In high school she started to feel pressured about her appearance, however, and became more and more self-conscious. Also, her school achievement became even more important, as she realised she was headed for the most important crossroads of her life – the decision of what she would do for the rest of her life. She laid on her a lot of pressure, thinking that her father wanted her to follow up on his footsteps and trying on the other hand to pursue her life-long dream of becoming a vet. This dream shattered, however, when she found she was allergic. Her allergy isn’t especially severe, but bad enough to seriously influence her chances of becoming a vet. The falling apart of this dream made her fall apart in other ways as well. Suddenly, she was without a dream job, and without any idea of what she was going to do, or what she wanted to do, for that matter. She developed insecurities about herself that had never been so bad before, and began to think herself fat. Downhill began from there. To the surrounding world, she still seems to be the “perfect Bee” she always was, but inside, she is going through turmoil and problems she feels she can’t talk with anyone about. birthplace: Meadowbrook

Drums, please! *lol* Here's the psychopath-serial-killer I mentioned in the journal. Anyone who wants to offer their characters out for him to kidnap may feel free to meet him once I put him in gameplay. I promise he won't kill anyone without permission. name: Cole Callaghan nicknames (if any): age: 32 type: earth gender: male body color: black hair color: blue eye color: golden symbol: golden feather personality/temperament (how they act: quiet, daring, etc.): creepy. Cole looks like your average, likeable, good-humoured, easy-going guy. And on the surface, he is just that. Beneath, however, he has a horrible secret. Cole is, well, simply put, a psychopath. He doesn’t really care about anyone. Or anything. To him, all that truly matters is his own wellbeing and his own comfort. He doesn’t hesitate to take what he wants, no matter the cost to others and no matter the method. He has obsessions and needs that control his life and motivate his actions. He can be awfully charming, however, and can talk like no other. He could probably persuade a leopard to part from its spots, if he really decided to. This ability to mask behind an honourable and likeable and convincing role is what makes him so dangerous. No one would ever guess there’s a killer behind those appealing golden eyes of his. He’s as smooth as a feather in his moves. clothes: comfortable college shirts and jeans and the like. Nothing that would especially attract attention but always black and grey and blue and gold in tones. pets (if they have any): none history: Cole is always remembered first and foremost as a charming, good person. He always has managed to give everyone the appearance of respectability, even when he’s been straying to the dark side. And that he has done a lot. His very first crime was the murder of his parents fifteen years ago, at the age of seventeen. The details shall be spared here, but the reason he was never caught was that he staged a fire that burned his parents’ bodies and all the evidence. Since then, he has leaned on his uncle Badge, who has taken care of him financially all through his high school and then college. Cole achieved exceptionally well through college but, to his uncle’s dismay, dropped out on his last year, and wrote to his uncle he wanted to try out his wings. Cole has been going through a multitude of jobs and career attempts, but none of them has really stuck with him. Miraculously, he still comes across as not a drifter but a determined man who has simply had bad luck. Throughout all this, Cole has lived a secret double life. One reason why he won’t stay in one city for too long is because he doesn’t want the local police to get on to him. He is a murderer, and worse – a serial killer. He kidnaps young girls between 15 and 25 years of age, and takes them to his home, either by charming them or by drugging. There he keeps them for a while, as he is “looking for that Special One”, as he himself puts it. Never having yet found a girl that would in the end not disappoint him, he has killed them all in the end. I won’t go into detail here. Now Cole is arriving back “home” to his uncle Badge, having yet again fallen on his feet after another disastrous, ambitious enterprise. His uncle has got him a job on the local car shop, and he has sworn to his uncle, once again, to mend his ways and become good. But he does seem to hang out a lot at the favourite spots of the local kids. birthplace: somewhere in the south And here's Cole's uncle... he's actually based on the nameless police officer in Tales show who tells Patch that the Pony Point is off limits in the episode "Up, Up and Away". Ace might find his colours interesting. name: Badge Callaghan nicknames (if any): Baddie age: 70 type: earth gender: male body color: tan hair color: creamy tan eye color: blue symbol: badge with a star inside personality/temperament (how they act: quiet, daring, etc.): Badge is a law-abiding, very responsible and utmost nice guy. He takes his job or any other duty very seriously, however, and doesn’t like bending the rules for anyone. clothes: while still working, Badge wore practically non-stop his officer clothes, but now that he’s retired, he’s turned to check-shirts (those Scots-checks… I’m not sure what word to use) and jeans and other relaxed, country-kind of clothing. He’s always been a country cop at heart. pets (if they have any): German Shepherd called Buddy history: Badge used to be a cop. He comes from the countryside somewhere in the south, and asked to be transferred into Meadowbrook when his wife’s job brought her here. He rose in rank as Chief (is that some kind of police rank? O.o I hope so) fairly quickly. “Baddie” and Buddy were known as one of the most efficient cop couples in the district. His wife dead twenty years, he never moved away from Meadowbrook, finding friends here, and not having many relatives anywhere anymore. Since his retirement, he has been living in a comfortable, relatively large house in the neighbourhood together with his old dog Buddy, who has lately shown some signs of growing too old. Badge expects his best friend to die within the next two years, and thus treats the dog with special care nowadays, saying if someone’s earned a luxurious pension, it’s Buddy. More importantly, since his younger brother and his wife died fifteen years ago, Badge has been taking care of his nephew Cole Callaghan, living on and off in his house. Badge loves Cole like his own son, and would do nearly anything for him, even if Cole’s been disappointing him time and again by never staying in any job and always chasing impossible dreams. Now that Cole’s returned again to Badge after another bummed-up enterprise, this time in the used car business, Badge has found him a job at a car shop whose owner he is especially good friends with. Badge knows many people in town, and practically everyone likes him. He knows the Rosacci and the Tirano family especially well, and has been known to go to dinners at their place every now and then. (Obviously he has no idea they’re actually criminals ) birthplace: some small town somewhere in south Oh, yeah. Just temps for now.

Eh-hehe... ummm, yeah, so I have many characters. But this guy popped up, and he won't go away.
name: Rooker Cash nicknames (if any): Rook, Rookie age: 17 type: earth gender: male body color: light grey hair color: dark grey eye color: green symbol: a dark grey tower personality/temperament (how they act: quiet, daring, etc.): very quiet, very shy, very withdrawn and very easily teased. Though extremely intelligent, Rook is your typical less-than-confident though sweet guy who ends up watching at beautiful girls from aside and hoping that one day he’d be noticed. He’s usually seen in some corner of the school or other, reading a book, or sitting alone in the cafeteria, doing his homework or something like that. clothes: jeans and loose t-shirts and warm but not so cool jackets when its cold. Oh – and he has glasses. pets (if they have any): fish; he’s got a very large aquarium. history: Rook has actually a rather happy home life. Aside from the fact that his father is hardly ever there. His mother is extremely fussy and behaves as though her son is the centre of her universe. This may well be true. Rook’s father is practically never home, as he’s always away on business trips to this or that part of the world. He tends to send home presents and sometimes at Christmas he’s nothing more than a postcard and a huge parcel under the Christmas tree. Thus all Rook’s mother really has is her son. She always makes sure he leaves home in warm clothes and is worried if he doesn’t come home at the exact time she’s used to seeing him coming home, and she doesn’t see there is anything wrong with Rook being shy and withdrawn, she believes he’s just her sweet little boy, who shouldn’t get involved with bad kind of girls, so it’s good that he doesn’t get involved with girls at all.
This, obviously, has damaged Rook’s social skills considerably. His main outlet is in fact the internet, where he has some friends, and where he plays games with other people the same way socially handicapped as he is. At school he does his best to keep out of everyone’s way, though he’d love to participate in activities there more. The only extra-curricular activity he’s active in is the chess club, where he’s the chairman (an unofficial one, at least) and the best player there, in fact. He has a slight crush on both Starlight and Bright Eyes, who attend the club as well, but it’s pretty much the same stage of a crush as he has on just about every girl in school. He’d never dare to make a move or say anything, though. He is sort of friends with two other guys in the chess club, but not enough to really hang out or anything. He doesn’t do much exercising outside the gym class in school, but not so much out of laziness as about a bit of a phobia for public places (and obviously team sports). birthplace: Meadowbrook

^-^ Thanks, I love him too, heh. I'm actually better at playing these guys than I am at playing more, uh, Bambi-Princess types, so I wanted to give it a go. I've already created a journal for him, I just need to go and add him some friends, heh.
I have no idea what kind of interaction I'll get for him though. He's too shy to go and participate. Any ideas are welcome!

Maybe he can be Princi's next project. *lol* She'll probably be teasing him at least. She loves teasing the shy boys. >:) I wonder if that says anything about the type of person I am if I'm better at playing horribly cruel characters? *lmao* We all have our strong points I suppose. ;)
