Hello!

[amberhearted]

Hi, Save the Earthers! I'm Mini and I'll be playing a not-yet-vampire named Alexander Varista. He simply goes by Alex. In his original life, he was a human who rose from the dead as a vampire after nearly two decades of rolling in his grave, worrying about his wife and child. In Locke City, he is a 4-H volunteer at a/the(?) public school by day and a paramedic by night.

I'm unaware if the school system the 18-years-old and younger characters are in is a K through 12 or split into elementary/intermediate/high school. If nothing has been established one way or the other, I'd like it if the system was a K through 12 so that it's easier for the students to have CR and so that Alex can possibly have CR with more students. Yes, I am greedy!!

But I'm totes fine if the schools are split. Likely, Alex would be with the elementary middle school, then. In 4-H, he helps with animal husbandry projects, like raising goats or building chicken coops. He was raised on a farm, so he's familiar with the topic. He's been volunteering for four years.

As for being a paramedic, Alex has been on Locke City University Hospital's EMS team for five years. He loves what he does, but sometimes he gets frustrated by the restrictions of paramedicine. I'm thinking the hospital itself is a teaching hospital so any future medical student characters can do their rotations there if they want. Alex running into LCU students there is probably slim, but definitely possible. He works night shift, 7p-7a, not counting overtime which is common. It's possible he has responded to your character's 911 call if you like!

His app is here, his info post is here and my HMD is here. I can be reached through PM or plurk (applechai).

I'm excited to be in the game and play with you all!

Hello there, Mini and welcome to our little crazy place! I'm Misty, playing a reincarnated Toushirou Hitsugaya from Bleach. Who is currently eleven years old, which I'm sure is relevant to Alex.

And as far as the school system, I don't think we really laid it out, but I'll let everyone else decide on that one. In either case, there should totally be CR for these two.

[amberhearted]

Yes! :> Would Toushirou be in the 4-H club?

[icy_heavens]

Probably not. But they totally could have seen each other around. And Toushirou is a very serious, kinda grumpy kid who a lot of people probably think needs cheering up. Which seems like it would lend Alex to want to include him and talk his ear off to the point where the kid just doesn't know what the hell to do with him. :D

[amberhearted]

Yes, that's definitely something he would do! Drum up conversation about his day, how is he liking classes, why aren't you in the club, it's really fun!

Also Alex probably calls him Toush now. Sorry, Toush.

[icy_heavens]

HE HATES ALL NICKNAMES!!! Meaning, of course, that I encourage their use by everyone ever.

... And now I'm imagining him headdesking when Alex shows up on the network. Because geez, man. Can't he have anything resembling peace? (Let's nevermind the crazy werewolf stuff, right?)

[amberhearted]

(You can learn horseback riding, Toush! Get some height up there! Or maybe we'd start you off with a pony...)

^example of Alex being an obnoxious jerk

No, Toushirou, you are too young for peace.

[icy_heavens]

Oh, wow. That'd tick him off so bad. The height is a sore spot. Fortunately, he has no problem telling people to shove it. :D

He's also too young to go hunt werewolves and he's still doing that. So there!

[amberhearted]

He'd feel pretty bad for ticking him off and apologize the next time he saw him.

Toushirou what would your grandparents think!!

[icy_heavens]

And then accidentally tick him off with something else. The cycle would never end.

Hey, he only has one grandparent! And no way in hell is he letting her know about this, nope! Look, he's got a frost power and a sword he suddenly knows how to use, and he's on a team with a cop and a doctor. He'll be fiiiiiiine.

[amberhearted]

Pretty much. (He'll wonder how an eleven year old can be so grumpy...)

smh at u rn toush. AND THE ADULTS THAT ALLOWED HIM.

[icy_heavens]

It's a special gift, this grumpiness.

And he's keeping this secret to protect Granny, thank you. And a sizeable chunk of the cast ain't happy that he's there and are side-eying the guy who organized it all.
