Oscare · **08-18-2015, 07:35 PM**

Oscare would definitely be the quiet kid in the class. He doesn't talk unless he's responding to someone else, and doesn't make an active effort to volunteer. Not because he's shy or anything, but just because he's reserved. He'd be very smart kid though, easily someone who could graduate top ten in the class. Unfortunately he would just barely get there because of his low attention span. Spending extended periods of time reading off books or doing the same kind of work for hours and hours, or even days upon days, starts to bore him and he eventually finds other things to do. I could also imagine him being a very helpful student, helping and tutoring classmates if they were stuck on a problem or if they had a hard time understanding the text in English class. Heck, he'd even break out of his shell to do it on the board for the sake of one student.

Oscare's favorite subjects would be things like science, where there's always something new to discover and learn, and its abstract. Photography would probably be his all time favorite subject though. He like capturing the moments, or spreading the beauty of nature or of other people. Yearbook is where'd he be most of the time, and maybe even move up to major in journalism or other photographic careers in college. The nature has always interested him too, so he'd probably be invested in things like wild life prevention, fisheries, parks, etc. Music and learning other languages interest him too.

Oscare would hate English class. Too much reading. Art is boring. Feels neutral about mathematics -- it's not too bad. Sports and athleticism/gym is too easy and boring, he works out on a daily basis, not many match up to him. He's always picked first, which he always thought is lame and a little mean. History is boring too. Heck, most social sciences are boring according to him. Technology can be cool. Keyword is can.

Coatleque · **08-18-2015, 08:06 PM**

Coatleque would be that girl. You know the one I mean? Yeah, neither does anyone else. That one student who was always nice, friendly, kind of interesting but that was never seen after school anywhere. Who graduated with typical grades then dropped off the face of the earth.

When you look back in your class yearbook and find that one familiar face but you have no idea what her name was. That's her.

At the 30th year reunion, she's the most successful person in attendance as far as yearly salary and stable marriage goes. It's also the only reunion she attends before dropping back off the face of the earth.

Academically, Franz was that kid who never seemed to apply himself. He tested into honors and AP classes so he was scheduled in them. That kid who would take the B in a class if it meant he wouldn't have to work harder to get an A. He'd be ok for group projects, doing his part, but unless prompted, he wouldn't be actively giving ideas or doing any more than needed. If he managed to find interest in a subject, Franz would probably end up putting in more effort. Maybe a math or science class here or there. He usually scored well in language classes that focussed more on the grammar than essays, citing that having to write multiple pages of prose "took too long". If it could be kept short and concise, his answer would usually be better.

During class, he'd be on fairly good behavior. Maybe an occasional chat here and there, or if the class started to get loud from other people being disruptive, he might turn his seat back to talk to people nearby. He wouldn't go out of his way to be called on to answer questions and his classwork was normally half-assed.

Socially, he might've had a few friends. Mostly casual. He'd be that person who was generally friendly, but never attended any parties and didn't really invite people over unless there was a group project to work on. Perhaps a bit bland. Every now and then, some overly-social people would probably take it upon themselves to make him feel included, but it was never really a priority. School was simply something to pass the time until he could go home.

Physically, he matured a lot during high school, probably growing almost a foot and a half (~45 cm for metric people). He went from fairly average-sized to someone who looked like he should have been on all the sports teams. But during PE? Completely useless. He could never really keep up with his size and was pretty awkward at most sports. More likely to stand around kicking the grass than to actually try to learn how to play. He only took PE if it was required at the school.

After graduation, he came to his first real struggle: what to do next? Eventually, he decided to join the military instead of trying to get into a good university or finding a job immediately.

***Nero*** · **08-18-2015, 09:24 PM**

Kasrjin is the transfer student who speaks in the thick Eastern European accent and is unexplainably stricken with a slight foreign odour every day. Popular on campus for literally no reason other than being a somewhat exotic presence and pronouncing words in amusing ways. Easygoing and generally willing to go along with anything that doesn't seem fatal, and he once got carried away from a school basketball game in a stretcher because he somehow managed to tase himself in the neck with two potatoes and a pair of crocodile clips. When asked to teach people how to swear in his native language, he inexplicably teaches other students the phrase "car horse stapler field" and variations of it.

Straight C+ student. Likes sleeping during power point presentations.

Aaron · **08-18-2015, 09:40 PM**

Aaron would be the guy who's school materials consist of headphones, chewing gum, his phone, and a psp or some other portable gaming system. And maybe a book bag to sell candy out of on the down low.
He'd never do his homework, and probably would barely pass every class because of his bare minimal take on life. And probably would be absent every time there's a math test.

His favorite class would be the 5 minutes you got to transition between classes before you get locked out.

Kalooeh · **08-19-2015, 06:32 AM**

Well at first she'd be that quiet shy new girl that tended to keep to herself and not really draw much attention (even going so far as to straighten her hair and keep it dyed brown, as it'd draw far less attention than a bush of red curls that never really want to cooperate), but was friendly enough... unless someone was being a bully and then she'd fly in and punch someone in the face. She'd do well enough in classes, or at least on tests even if it seemed like she wasn't paying much attention in class or sleeping, but be really bad at getting homework done and like halfway through a semester just stop bothering with it.
Over time she'd start to be more comfortable with people and give less of a shit if people like her or not. She'd even stop dying and brushing out her hair. Eventually even being brash, loud, and flirty, even if she's feeling insecure and shy because hey, fake it until you make it. Still be friendly. Would eventually stop caring about classes in general unless it was a subject she had an interest in and then she may even be assed to do homework enough to maintain a good grade. She'd skip class a lot though for subjects she found boring or hated. Mostly she'd do well in gym/sports and even take weight lifting.
By the end she'd be like a mix of the school tease and a lowkey friendly jockey type that'd likely get along with everyone unless you were an outright ass to other people around and then she'd fly in and punch you in the face or bully you. She's probably pick on the snotty snobs and nerds as well just for fun and "hell they're assholes anyways so it's karma or whatever".

Dheina would be in special ed and have a lot of difficulty with classes (especially because of her dyslexia), even though she'd try as hard as she could... Even besides the dificulty reading she's not stupid, but she's not too smart either... she's just.... slow.
She'd be excited whenever she managed to do well on tests and probably talk someone's ear off about something she learned and found neat.
She's also one of those people that are obsessed with cute, pink, glittery, and flowery things, but also be kind of childish and sensitive. She's not like the type of cutesy-obsessed person that's grossed out easily by dirty things or bugs or anything like that and actually a lot of things that "girly" types are stereotypically thought of as hating or being afraid of doesnt bother her at all unless it's something that can actually be dangerous... she would be upset though if something pretty of hers ended up ruined. She'd very likely end up being a target for bullies just because crybaby "precious cinnamon roll", or she could come across as being similar to the annoying little sister type of person. That and often enough she'd smell like a farm (which personally I don't mind and can enjoy, but I also grew up in an area with a lot of farms with cows, horses, and chickens), whenever she didn't smell like she rolled around in a flowerpatch. Would thive in botany and health/care-related classes, but would hate sex ed. Probably do pretty badly in gym except for anything gymnastics or swimming related, even if she fell on her face a lot and mostly just wanted to paddle around in the water because she likes being in it. Would be amazing at dodgeball and track just because of how flexible and fast she was, but unless there was someone else with her at the end of the game throwing balls back at the other team she'd likely eventually lose just from being ganged up on (and oh god, those versions where the winning team gets to move closer and closer over time), or the teacher would just have to call it because it's taking forever and it's clear she's not really going to throw anything back and is just going to run away/dodge so the other team may as well just be called the winners. Throwing arm is horrible. Baseball she'd just strike out all the time because "oh no painfully hard thing being thrown at me don't hurt me D;" and just cringe anytime someone pitched or the thing came flying at her when out in the field.

Sam wouldn't really be too noticeable at first. Mostly blends in even after more people got to know them. They'd get along well enough with most people but doesn't make much of an effort with making friends either. Any friends they'd have just kind of happened and they're ok with it, though they'd probably not do much with most of them outside of school. Decent enough grades for most subjects but just be about average due to sometimes just forgetting to do homework often enough, but what they did turn in plus doing well on tests would be enough at least to keep from failing or getting D's... most times. Pretty lowkey and friendly enough overall, but would have issues with teachers often enough too if they didn't agree with a view of theirs or felt something with a subject was wrong. Questions authority too much to just go along with anything they said and would get pissed off about those types of teachers that have the attitude of "I don't care if I'm wrong I'm the teacher and in charge, don't question me". Gets mad at those in power who are unfair or abuse their positions. Bullies would also quickly learn not to mess with them because even if they were chill enough with most their peergroup they have a short fuse as well and has little problem with physically fighting back, and fighting dirty. Interest in various martial arts and taking lessons just adds to the ass kicking. Wouldn't be one to really start fights with people but sure as hell not shy about slamming someone's head into the floor if they started shit with them or others around them that were being bullied. Very opinionated but mostly just sighs and silently fumes over people being stupid or saying stupid things.... mostly.

Armimi is a goddamn nerd and strive to get A's and get annoyed about any B's. She's the type to even try to find ways to bring her grades up if they're "falling behind" or harass the teacher about redoing an assignment to try to get a better grade. Would love science classes in general and do decently enough in gym despite being short and kind of chubby/stocky, but would try to get out of gym whenever she could, especially for shit like basketball or volleyball.... or really anything that'd involve things flying at her... or a lot of running. Wouldn't have much interest in making friends, just in learning science shit. If she made fellow science nerd friends then cool someone to geek out with, but otherwise eh all good on her own or at home buried in books or a little makeshift lab or greenhouse. Would be surprisingly strong for being a short little nerd and would probably get in trouble more than once for getting in fights for people starting shit with her.

Cardea is that weird effeminate boy that openly wore heels, skinny jeans, and showy/feminine clothes that purposely would likely make people uncomfortable while still managing to be "school appropriate" and give no shits if people had issues with him. Probably get picked on by the other boys but wouldn't be afraid to stab a bitch and eventually people would probably be terrified of him because good god is he a creepy twisted little shit that will probably find a way to poison you or get you put in the hospital because they stabbed you in the kidney and somehow managed to make it look like an accident. Be somewhat of a kiss ass to teachers and act like yeah he's a strange one but sensitive and "harmless", but even for them would try to find sneaky ways to screw them over if they pissed him off. Friendly enough with peers people for the most part if they don't start shit with him, especially if they didn't have any issues with how he presented. Probably hang out sometimes with those mean "popular" preppy girls, but would take no shit from them either and probably be "top bitch". Would absolutely love girls like Dheina and be protective of them. Any friend he'd manage to make would have an amazing ally that will fuck up someone for them in a sneaky underhanded way and make it look like an accident or manage to get away with it just because they likely couldn't prove it was them and they may play in to discrimination because of how he liked to dress. Later on as they where nearly done with school would start actively transitioning to look more female and want people to use female pronouns instead, though would likely not have surgery until later because "Well don't particularly have an issue with my bits... course not really attached to it either. Suppose I'll figure it out later. But hey, check out my amazing tits. Sweet right? It's ok to be a bit jealous"

Samhain would be that problematic wild child punk girl that was always starting fights (especially with boys) and causing problems in class if she was bored. Would have way too much fun bullying people. Loves Halloween just a little too much and her malicious pranks would just increase tenfold because "hey it's the season, suck it up you fuckin' babies. You wanna go? I will beat your face in with a pipe. Yeah didn't think so"
She'd be particularly brutal in fights and no problems cracking heads of breaking arms. Most likely would end up juvie or expelled. Later in life, granted she wasn't in jail for killing someone or seriously messing them up, would end up in some kind of career that allowed her to fight others and get paid to fuck people up. If not some kind of sport than something illegal.
Friends? Probably not unless it was with other asshole delinquent types. Not those gangster wannabe badasses. She doesn't have patience for those people and makes a point to beat the shit out of them because oh they wanna be hardcore but they run away from fights and just a bunch of shits that wanna seem tough but can't actually handle shit. If she's being friendly to someone she usually wouldn't be she probably just wants something. Unfortunately hard to avoid giving her what she wants unless one didn't care if they got beaten up or have a friend than can back them up so she backs up. She doesn't mess with the other kids that she knows can fight back well enough, but if drawn in to a fight with them she wouldn't be afraid of trying to kill them by stabbing the shit out of them either if she can't get them to back off or they prove to be capable of doing a good amount of harm to her. She may try to avoid a physical confrontation if she can get away with leaving without looking weak to prevent harm to herself, but then plot ways she may be able to take out the threat. If her and Kal went to school together there'd be frequent fights and Samhain would probably try to avoid Kal if she could because Kal can be just as brutal with her fighting as Samhain, but has far more physical strength behind her hits. Samh would be more than happy to work with Kal in a gang or even work for her because she respects her strength and brutality when fighting, but Kal would much rather put herself between bullies and others, especially since she can defend herself and she finds it a "good" way to channel her violence and more questionable traits (Think of Kal being like Dexter. Can be a pretty nasty person themselves but goes after other nasty people to "make it acceptable".)

Oli! · **08-19-2015, 07:21 AM**

Ada would be the quiet person that stays in the back of the room and doesn't talk or raise their hand, and somehow manages to play for every sports team.

Oliwat would be the guy that skips school to go do the things that they were going to talk about in class that day, survive somehow, and then tells all his friends about it over the weekend.

Gegenji · **08-19-2015, 08:49 AM**

There was definitely another thread or two like this one in the past... still, it's been a while and I feel I have a bit of a better grip on my characters since the last time, so maybe the answers will be at least a little different.

Chachan is likely the sort that would be struggling in a few of his classes - especially in the more academic ones like the various sciences and mathematics - mostly due to comprehension issues. He tries his hardest, though, to fight for every C he gets. Due to his physique, he could possibly be scoped out to be on the school football team's defensive line - where he does surprising well considering being so much shorter than everyone else - and this could lead to some more passes than not on a few tests in order to keep him around for the team. They likely keep this on the down-low, though, since there was certainly an incident once where the fact became common knowledge and he got pretty upset about it and redoubled his study efforts to show he could do it himself... resulting in the kid being all burned out for a big game.

Born to a family who is relatively famous for making a selling firearms, there would probably be rumors going around about how someone shouldn't upset him because he'd totally cause the next school shooting. Instead, he's just an awkward teen who is nervous around girls, wants to have friends, and is more content than anything either making things in shop class or working on his car. The little musclebound lunkhead who, despite what most people would think, stops to pet dogs and will totally help you out if your car breaks down.

(08-18-2015, 01:27 PM)Sylentmana Wrote: This is actually a large part of my character's backstory. She comes from Sharlayan and was the top student in her class. She's always been the quiet type and while she wasn't openly smug about her intelligence, as you described, she does have something of a superiority complex. She is also prone to do this:

Gogon would likely fall under this sort of thing too, actually. Top of his class, especially in mathematics, and likely taking several AP courses at once. However, he's much more aloof about his intelligence and thus his superiority complex would be so much more obvious. Due his lack of physical strength, you'd figure he'd end up shoved in a locker more than once...

But he "weaponizes" his intelligences as well. If there's a dirt on a student, he probably knows it and makes sure they know he knows, just so they show him the proper respect. Never anything openly overt, but the signs are usually there that he has some sort of hold on folks since even the local gangs will not harry him (though they'd certainly grumble about him). Oddly, he also serves as a tutor and is generally a good source of information if you can both pay the prerequisite fee and deal with his condescending attitude.

Judge, even in this situation, would be too old to be a student. He's either that strict elderly teacher who is very by the books or, possibly more likely, something as high as the vice- or full-on principal. He'd be the sort prone to giving lengthy and confusing lectures on what students should be doing at assemblies and having a strange probation method that baffles even the other staff. Double-Secret Probation? Sounds like something Principle Jredthys would set.

Don't be fooled, though. Even with all his oddities, he's very much in favor of seeing the student body succeed and will go to great lengths to ensure that. He's willing to put his own neck out on the line to ensure a safe, orderly learning environment and - while oftentimes confusing - his punishments for infractions are always fair and scale appropriately to the issue at hand. Plus, he is quick to let you off the hook if it turns out you weren't at fault or were set-up.

Leggerless · **08-19-2015, 12:22 PM**

This took longer to think about than I care to admit.

Elise (Lynx) would be the type of student who adheres well to authority yet is secretly exploiting the rules for her benefit at every chance she gets. Her grades would be a combination of A's and B's; A's in sciences, mathematics, and law and B's in all other subjects. She doesn't have many friends but she doesn't avoid socializing every now and then. She's not the most attractive person out there, but she isn't very ugly either. Elise doesn't actively seek out trouble; it either comes to her or is a by-product of her actions. A dark sense of humor lines her words, which can put off most people trying to know her better. In reality, it's her way of coping with a lot of violence in her past. She also carries a concealed switchblade on her person at all times.

Other students look at her like a quiet authority figure; even the hoodlums, troublemakers, and other kids prone to showing off their strength display grudging respect for her. The goody two-shoe students aren't any better as they're on guard and wondering if she'll backstab them. Students who are mostly indifferent, got plenty of other things to do, the military type, or are carefree won't mind her presence as much; they may even welcome it. She refrains from exercising authority unless necessary, lest she is seen as openly abusing her power.

If there were a phrase to describe her, it'd likely be "a lynx with glasses."

A'kos Saiyal · **08-19-2015, 05:26 PM**

Just joined Vyldbrand Academy IC, so I guess we'll see!

(...though for a rl sort of High School....)

A'kos would be the transfer student people didn't quite know what to make of at first. He'd be reserved until someone struck up a conversation, then he'd be pretty talkative. Tall and exceptionally athletic yet have absolutely NO interest in joining a sports team, and thus be hounded by coaches and varsity players alike. You might be able to catch him working out in the school weight room or practicing gymnastics after school though.

He'd try to hang with the smart crowd, until he was turned away for not being brainy enough and/or being mistaken for a jock. So he'd be something of an outcast by midyear. He'd probably have one or two very good friends that were also on the outs. He'd be cool with that, and probably be their protector from school bullies. Probably have a crush on a certain girl, one that was tough and an anti-bully bully herself, backing her up in fights and enjoying them but probably not spill his actual feelings.

Classes he'd try hard, but would probably top off as a B student generally, with a couple A's depending on the class. Not doing so well on tests, but making up for it with extra work outside of class, or on projects. He'd love classes he wasn't so great in, like literature, and be more bored with classes he was great in like certain sciences or PE. The class he'd shine most in would be machine shop and mechanics. By his junior/senior year, he'd get a reputation for being a grease monkey, maybe a biker, which would be fine, since he's been working on the sickest motorcycle that school ever saw. With a certain fondness for video games and anime, it'd probably come out looking as close to Fenrir from Advent Children as possible without breaking too many laws. Only it would have a side car attachment for his best friend who still couldn't drive, because, well, that's his buddy.

Years later, he'd show up at the reunion riding that bike's evolved descendant (and, it'd probably have a Cylon monoeye or Kit's tracer) a highly paid engineer and top martial artist. He probably wouldn't worry about seeing his buds from school because, they'd still be in touch anyway.
