Thanks, much better

Lol, ok

I don't think I'm going to get fourteen people so I'll cut it to five.

That seemed realistic, imao

Probably a bit late, but may I?

Yes you can. Just post your character and we can start.

Name: Theresa Hunt (Tessa/Tess)
Age:(18-27) 19
Gender: Female
Personality: She's an Aries, so she's obviously got a very fiery personality. She's also very independent and doesn't listen to just anyone, energetic (but not in the morning), and will plow through any challenge with her head held high. She seeks any sort of fun at all times, even at the expense of her peers, and considers herself very stylish. She always dresses to impress, though her natural beauty and intriguing persona are usually all she needs to impress others. She can be childish at times, though it's only around her closest friends. She's impulsive and forceful, which usually gets her into trouble. She's also very cocky and isn't shy about it. However, if someone can break through her walls, she's loyal to the bone and will risk everything to keep her friends safe and unharmed (and very cuddly). She's the first person to throw themselves into danger to prevent others from getting hurt, physically and emotionally. She enjoys setting things on fire and causing explosions, and she will put on multiple masks to keep her true self hidden and out of harm's way. Most of these masks make her seem cold and bloodthirsty, which no care about those she hurts or even kills. While she may not feel too bad about it, she does have a heart and will regret the losses of innocents that became collateral damage because of her.
Appearance: Dark gold eyes with little flecks of yellow that looked like sparkles; naturally thick and long lashes framing them. Her hair is a bright gold that isn't quite blonde but isn't brunette either–similar to the color of a gold ingot–and is long, wavy, and full of volume. She has a muscular body with a perfect mixture of curves and slimness that just enhanced her beauty. High and prominent cheekbones, full and soft looking lips, sharp and defined jawline. She has faint scars that marred her seemingly flawless, naturally light tan skin. Her one cheekbone is slightly caved in because it was shattered by a hit to the face with a crowbar. She's somewhat tall at 5'7.
Hobbies/Interests: Thieving (she'll give it back eventually), setting fires, exploding things, messing with people for fun, blasting rock and heavy metal music for all to hear (like 5FDP), dancing, singing, eating, hanging out with friends. She speaks fluent Italian.
Flaws/Weaknesses: Was once a drug addict and is currently an alcoholic. Slow to trust anybody, hard to restrain, was once a criminal, anger issues, haunted by a dark past. She has Cleithrophobia (fear of being trapped) and is afraid of going underground for a significant amount of time. If it's a stranger, she'll put herself before them.
Strengths: She doesn't back down from a fight (which could end up as a flaw, but whatever) and doesn't take anything from anybody. She'll face any challenge without complaint, and will even face her fears if someone she cares about is in trouble. She'll put her friends and loved ones before herself.
How does their house look: https://pin.it/xxjxb2qd4ljgyl

(If you've seen some of my rps, you'll probably know Tess. She's just really fun and easy to rp with, and I love her to bits.)

Great character! I'll start in a few minutes.

Dope!

It was one of those rainy but then shines again days. The ones where it would drizzle for a couple of minutes before the sky lit up for a few more. Zane hated those days with a passion. He would always hole himself up in whatever room he was in and carved into another wall that was yet to be designed. Unfortunately, it was another meeting day. The same meetings that would happen once a week for the past 70 years. The same meetings his parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents attended. He would have to leave his house and go to the same meet-spot, the neighborhood park, under the canopy of trees nearby in the treacherous weather. It wasn't like he could stay home, his family was the leader of such meetings so he had no choice.

When he stepped outside, he noted the sudden change again before groaning and walking to the area. They meetings were the same as usual, each house would bring one member to talk about moving forward, how to distribute the food and where to get it from or what jobs they were going to take on for the week. He chose a table although there weren't many to choose from and set it up. It was ten minutes until the meeting would start so he pulled up a chair and waited.

The next to approach was Udo. You couldn't really say he walked, for he did so much it wouldn't be enough of a description. He spun at random times to stare at nothing, he'd crouch to pick up stones just to throw them, and speak to himself in an aggressive manner. It began to rain once again as he "walked," but Udo didn't seem to care. Or even notice, really.

If there was one wildcard in the 'round table,' as Udo called it, it would be him. This was the first time in….ever he had shown up on time. A cause for celebration, really, if the sound of cheering wouldn't scare the poor man. Everyone knew he had lost his mind, but no one ever mentioned it. It put him in a horrible mood, and no one likes a 20 year old man whining like a 5 year old.

"I don't remember your name, Zane," he said, sitting down on his spot and fiddling with his fingers.

"I am… confused with that sentence." Zane replied, puzzled about the fact that he didn't remember the name but still said it. He didn't feel like dallying on the subject for too long though since all he wanted to say was what was to be said in the meeting and that was it. There was no time for small talk.

Tessa lazily flipped a gold coin on her thumb as she walked, catching it and flipping it once again. She hated meetings–she would much prefer just living alone and surviving without having to rely on the others. But, alas, that was not to be.
She sighed to herself for perhaps the thousandth time, deciding that she had stalled enough. Showing up early wasn't exactly her usual style, as she typically showed up late and with a flourish. But she was in a mood today. A moody mood. It made her not give two shits about anything and practically numb to the world. The rain slid down her skin, as her open jacket with a lack of shirt–she had forgotten to grab one today, and she was too lazy to go back and throw one on–did nothing to protect her from the weather. At least she had jeans and knee-high boots…
Udo and Zane were already there, and Tess threw herself into her chair on the opposite side of them with her usual dramatics. "Ciao."

"Hello." Zane uttered, once again rolling his eyes at Theresa's antics. Growing up with only seven kids and 13 adults in the town did that to him. It closed him off to everyone even his own family. It wasn't like he could change either, there was no way for him to even know anyone else since the world was destroyed a little over a decade since he was born.

She offered him a toothy smirk, then pulled her feet up so she was sitting cross-legged. It was one of her more child-like actions that made people underestimate her ability to ruin their day. She dug into her jacket pocket and brought out a small notepad and pen, humming softly to herself as she read over something she had already written, then scribbled more as she continued to hum.

"Did the fancy words get wet?" Udo asked, pointing a finger at the notepad. "Can't have that, you know. The pigeons will get upset and shit on your head."

Tessa flicked her eyes up at Udo and gave him a look that clearly said, 'What the fuck is wrong with you?' She just shook her head and shifted a bit, her hair acting as a curtain over her face and notepad as she pretended Udo hadn't said a word.

Liam sighed and hopped out of his window and took a non traditional path out of his house and towards the park. Walking at an even pace, he looked at the trees that had water droplets rolling off the leaves and dropping almost gracefully into small puddles below them. He loved weather like this, it made for beautiful artwork. He sighed again, thinking about all the things he could have been doing but this meeting had been called. He walked over and saw three others, Zane, Theresa, and Udo. He did a sarcastic two finger salute and sat in one of the seats

"I tried to warrrrn youuuu," he said in a sing-song voice, rocking back and forth in his seat. "But you're lucky the sky's mad right now."

Tessa looked up and returned Liam's salute with one of her own, just as sarcastic with a smirk to go with it. "Ciao, Liam. Don't mind Udo, he's being odd again."

Liam nodded "isnt he always?" He asked

"I'd be mad if you weren't right," he said, sticking his tongue out at the two of them.

"At least he admits it." Tessa flashed a toothy grin at Udo, then pocketed her notepad and pen since she had lost her inspiration. She counted the people present. "Uno, due, tre, quattro… We're missing one."

"Oh, yeah, that one person….with the…..hair?" He'd obviously forgotten everything about the last person who still hadn't arrived.

"Everyone has hair, Udo. You're gonna have to be more specific than that," Tessa said, rolling her eyes. She kept one leg tucked beneath her as she moved the other so that she could wrap her arms around it and rest her cheek on her knee. She had pulled off her boots at some point–they were now lazily tossed to the side of her chair.
