No she didn't. Don't be silly. *more shifty looking action* Mari did say she'd make a new position for other people, you know.....but ah well.

But you're happy with your position, Ala aren't you? I hope so....
Okay, my character form....
Name: Maidie Gardner
Age: 13 (about to turn fourteen, it is close to the beginning of the school year)
Social Group: Yet to be decided
Ranking: Also to be determined
Description: Short, 5'1", with golden-brown hair that falls just past her shoulders and brown eyes. She's small and slight, and wears her hair up almost all the time. She likes plain, comfortable clothing, though she can also be very dressy. She's rather pretty, but doesn't believe it when people tell her so.
Personality: Maidie is talkative and lively, but when she's around people she doesn't know, or is in an unfamiliar situation, she can be very, very shy. She is rather susceptible to peer pressure, because she wants very much to be accepted, but she won't do anything she doesn't think is right. She's very caring and generous, and also very modest. Some may call her weak, but that's because she doesn't really have the heart for ruthlessness and cut-throat competition. This same weakness, however, may cause her to do these things to gain acceptance. Maidie is a very kind and generous person, and she always wants to give. Her yearning for acceptance prompts her to give perhaps more than she should, but her generosity is always genuine.
History: Maidie's parents are missionaries in a potentially dangerous place, and so they have sent her to boarding school to keep her safe and ensure her a good education. Before they moved to Dangerous Place von Doom, they lived in the Czech Republic, and Maidie learned to speak Czech there. She regards that to be her home, and feels odd being in America again, since she left America when she was six. She's never really spent much time away from her parents, so this change is very hard on her. Before she went to the boarding school she was homeschooled, so she has no idea what it's like to go to school with other people.

Approval! Huzzah! *huggles Elbie* ;D
Now, one wonders whether I'm getting into character or what.... It's funny that I wait for other people's approval on my own game, but mwat, I'm just like that, I suppose....
We still need character forms from Saphie and Firi, but I know you two will get those in, so I'm not too worried about that. All of the original characters have been taken, but if anyone else wants to join in, they can always be a normal member of one of the groups, a sidekick to either the prep leader or the geek leader (the goths have two leaders, so I don't think they need a sidekick), or maybe even an insurrectionist, who's also one of the above. (Ooh, an insurrectionist sidekick! Drama! Suspense!)

Heh... that's an odd transfer. I wonder what your character's motives for that are.... But very good! 'Twould seem that a weirder transfer makes for a weirder story! ;D

Okay, here's my bio...
Name: Ravyn Bishop
Age: 14
Social Group: Goths
‘Ranking’: Co-leader
Description: Ravyn's general attire is anything black, with safety pin decor on the cuffs or pockets. She always wears one or two heavy chains around her neck. Her dark hair is cut short. The only make-up she ever has on is decorative eyeliner, reminiscent of the leader in Clockwork Orange.
Bio: She's the quiet commander. She never has to raise her voice to get a point across; in fact, the quieter she speaks, the angrier or more frustrated she is. She doesn't really have a problem sharing power, hence her co-leadership with Lora Artapel, but considers her decision final, and anyone opposing her after this finality will face the consequences. She has nursed a deep hatred for the Preps, and has no mercy upon them.
History: Her parents sent her to boarding school when she was eleven to try to "straighten her out", but it didn't have the desired effect. She rose quickly through the ranks of the Goths, finally becoming the co-leader with Lora. She and Lora balance each other well, but Ravyn occasionally wonders exactly how trustworthy Lora is.
*~*~*
How's it sound, Marigold? So we just need Firi's bio then?

Most excellent. Very gothic. Quiet and creepy.
Yup, just Firi now, and p'raps someone else who shows up and demands entrance.... But I don't think we'll start right away, because we're all pretty busy. I hate to delay forever, but I know Firi's swamped until July... we'll see how things go.

I demand entrance!!! Er..wait... ^^
I'm at a friend's house right now..invading her internet soo.. I can't post my full description now as I have it saved on my computer at home. Yes. I might change the name around. Leo tells me that Dagmar should be the first name..in which case I need a last name..and Mari should know one. *nod nod*

You demand entrance, and you have it, Dagmar Maly! And the award for promoting non-Mari-Abuse, and making her feel spiffy! *presents award* Anyhow, I've been forced to choose a location. A dagger was held to my throat, and as Mip knows I'm not too fond of that position.... And Firi demanded that I choose a location. I tried to resist her power, but I didn't quite make it, unfortunately. Thing is, I would have defeated the power she invested in me at the same time, so I suppose it's all good. I've never felt oppressed by Firi before, but now I do. Mwat. Anyway, it's in New England. In a smallish city. Say 30,000 people. There. That's all you get to know. Please don't name the city, I don't feel like having a specific location. Vagueness is your friend. And besides, when you do venture into the city, 'the city' will always suffice, won't it? For those of you who haven't done world geography, the six New England states are Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Hampshire. Indeed. So, forest, low mountains, sea. Perfect. Dead Poets Society! Huzzah! Flying desk sets! ;D ;D "For only in his dreams can man be truly free!" Desk standing! Um... Neil! And Todd! "Then I saw the Congo, creeping through the black, winding through the forest with a gol-den track!" And yet more flying desk sets! Huzzah huzzah huzzah! This has concluded your Mari spazzing session.

My official revised post!!!
Name: Dagmar Maly
Nickname: Dagger (Call me anything else and I’ll Bludgeon you!)
Social Status: Drifter
Rank: Out of place Brit
Description: Dag is a rather tall British female. She’s got uber-dark brown hair that’s layered immensely, and brilliant, glareful green eyes. She wears mostly black, but isn’t a Goth, and has been known to wear kilts a lot. She wears various rings including Nenya or the ring of the Witchking, and has been caught wearing headdresses (unfortunately they set off the metal detectors) She always has a tie with a British flag on it, and is a bit of a Ringie. She’s got a lovely English accent, as well.
History: Dagger comes from an English family, as you know. She moved to the USA when she was 12 and has been a social “outcast” ever since. She doesn’t really mind it, though. She was always a bit of a loner back home in the UK. She wears said Brit-Flag tie as a reminder of her roots, and is rather obsessed with Scotland; hence the reason for the kilts. Her mum is Amelia Susanne Maly and her father is John Maly the Third. Dagmar, (she really doesn’t mind her name but because of her rather abusive personality, she was labelled “Dagger” which she is very fond of) truly doesn’t understand why her family moved to the US anyway, but she doesn’t like it all that much. She is, however quite grateful that she can return to England every break she has from school. Dagger has no other siblings, but she has a cat named Beruthiel, because she’s convinced that her cat must have been one of the cats of Queen Beruthiel in its previous lifetimes. As an outcast, Dag tends to give the preps and the Goths a hard time, but generally leaves the Geeks alone. This could be because one of her earliest TV memories was watching Star Trek. With her rather mean disposition, many kids believe her to be a stuck-up Brit, but Dag doesn’t really care. She’s been known to carry a Dagger concealed in her pocket, but ever since the school got their new Metal Detectors, she’s left it at home. Dagger’s mum seems to think that the reason kids don’t really like her is because most of the time they can’t even understand what she’s saying – not that Dag really cares in the first place. She wouldn’t say she’s got a best friend, if any friends at all, but she does have a pen pal in New Zealand whom she visits occasionally. This is another reason that Dag leaves the Geeks alone, they seem to have a few Ringies too, who naturally understand the immense importance of a place like New Zealand.
Personality: Er… Well, as you know, she’s got an abusive and mean disposition for the most part, and is a tad insane, has been called ‘stark raving mad’ by a few people and generally scares most of her teachers. She likes cats, and pain – for this reason some of the Goths once tried to convert her, but she didn’t give. And she also likes Scotland, and Travis – of course. She likes rambling on about things only a Brit would know, and loves having the advantage of knowing things that no one else in her school knows.

Well, reading Mip's most excellent character form prompted me to tweak my own. I've made some substantial additions, so you may want to go see. I've not changed anything that was already there, but I've expanded upon it somewhat. Partially because Mip put me to shame with hers, and partially because I decided more things Maidie's character, and partially because it would be an awful shame to have a character with a Czech name and no one who speaks Czech. How else is Maidie going to call her Dáša? Will Dagger let her, I wonder? She should.... but I don't get the impression that she will.... We'll see, I suppose. ;D
