Young Writers Society

Hey everybody! This is a new storybook me, PuffSammy, and RedBird are kind of doing together. We all came up with the idea together, I just said I would post it for us.


The idea is, there's this circus called The Misfit Circus (obviously) that is run by these teens. They all have powers, and are all orphans. They also have circus acts, but not all of them. There are some nicer Misfits (as they call themselves), and some...not as nice Misfits. These two groups WILL eventually clash.

The way they where orphaned has to do with their powers, but no one knows that yet. It's just some secret info to keep you all from getting too confused . For now they are all trying to survive off their traveling circus and from getting caught by the authorities (they ARE a bunch of freaky teens who own a traveling circus, after all).



Rules:
All YWS rules

PG-13 rating here!

erm, no killing off other characters without mine (Nutty's), RedBird's (Oreo's), PuffSammy's (Sammy's), or the other character's permission

Appearance: Petite, pale, short hair (straight dark brown with red streaks), chocolaty brown eyes, freckles. Wear a black corset with a black tutu and white point shoes. Even if she doesn't wear the tutu everywhere, she wears the point shoes everywhere.

Personality: Alura is sweet deep, deep down. On the outside, however, she is stubborn, sassy, sarcastic, and never too worried about one subject (or at least she doesn't show it). She is scared of people she doesn't know too well, but she hides it behind a defensive wall. She loves to smile, and loves her friends and family dearly.

Possible character for possible member of YWS:

Name: Elizabeth

Age: 13

Power/Act: manipulates water, communicates with aquatic animals, coldness doesn't affect her/ "mermaid" and magician's helper

Appearance: Average height, curvaceous, tan, long, wavy brown hair, bright green eyes. Wears a pearly white tunic styled dress and no shoes.

Personality: It's hard to describe without being redundant with the rest of the profile. So, just read on and you'll get the gist of her personality.

Weaknesses/Strengths: Very sweet and innocent, very smart, panics under pressure, would do anything for her loved ones, and comes up with plans quickly (although she almost never shares them).

Likes: Sweets, swimming, fishies, warm places, reading, music

Dislikes: Mean people, rude people, people who underestimate her, really loud noises, feeling scared, being the center of attention

Other: Alura's sister, hair and eyes turn light blue when she is submerged in water or when she uses her powers.

Of course you can have a spot! If you really think you can handle it...


My character:

Name: Ophenalius "Fee", "Fey", or "Fenny"

Age: 15

Power/Act: Can turn her skin into any substance she touches with her hands (besides plain cotton)/ started/runs the circus with two others

Appearance: average height, slender, pale, has a fantastic mass of curly, wavy, messy long ginger hair, catlike grey eyes. Wears what ever she feels like.

Personality: Fenny is very serious when it comes to anyone in the circus. She doesn't take other people lives lightly, even if it's the enemy. She is very sweet, but she has a hard outer shell. She is really funny, and a great friend once you get her to trust you.

Weaknesses/Strengths: She is a great fighter, but her inability to kill makes it hard for her to do so. She is great with throwing knives or arrows, and also at hand-to-hand combat. She can be stubborn, and she never thinks about herself. She is the Mama of the circus, and can often be a bit too controlling. She thinks before she talks, unless she's really upset. Then she blubbers every thought that comes to her head.

Likes: Food, fun, watching the circus, her friends, music, playing guitar, dancing, laughing, and people watching (she's good at that with the whole camouflage skin thing).

Dislikes: Killing people, seeing people get hurt, stupid people, arrogant people, losing people (not like people who lose, people who she loses), feeling sad/scared/caged

Other: Up for love. Best friend is Alura.






Hey, I need two other people to be the circus runners with me!

Did I miss anything?

May I post a character?

YES, YES! Please post! At this point, any one who wants to join can.

Hope you like it! Let's not let this die, OK?

I am so Exited! Can't wait to play my character of Alura......Woot Woot!

Heehee, yay PuffSammy! Did you see how I said the plot, then the rules, then the example for the character profiles? Learn, young grasshopper. Learn...

I can't wait....Has Little Red Ridding Fro come on? oh and did you like my story a lot of errors I know. When are we going to start storybook?

You have to wait until you have a good handful of characters. We'll probably start late Saturday or sometime Sunday. That SHOULD be enough time. After we start your storybook, you want to keep character applications open for a little while longer, just in case. Unless, that is, you already have tons of characters. And no, Oreo hasn't come on yet tonight.

OH.......ok
