Name: Knightly Rose
Based on what character?: White Knight (sorta- or rather will be.)
Age: 23
Alliance: None at the moment.
Rank: Starving artist, and terrified mother to be.

Appearance: Knightly is a small young lady- only standing just 5' even. She's has a womanly figure that refuses to be hidden, so like any girl she plays her figure up.


Her hair is long and a deep rich auburn- it looks silky and seems to temp people to pet it. She often has it loose or just tide back out of her face. Her eyes are a clear oceanic blue/green- they always seem to be looking into a person.

Her complexion is pale and almost picturesquely perfect, no freckles or birth marks, except a tattoo she got when she was 18 just for fun- it was summer and she had fifty bucks to blow.

History: Knightly grew up in a small middle class family in a small town. Nothing extraordinary to say about her childhood. She was a good student, a shy girl in large groups and had a bad crush on the popular boy in her class- all very ordinary and usual for a girl with braces who was a little plumper then she'd like.

In high-school she found her creative voice in music. She wasn't a virtuoso, but she had talent and she had passion. She spent hours sitting on the roof of her home playing songs she heard on the radio or the sheet music she photocopied after shool.

It was around this time she began having issues with moments of seemingly to “check out” of reality. She'd just zone out for sometimes minutes at a time then all of a sudden blink and keep going from when she left off. It took a few long worried months before she was diagnosed with absence epilepsy and was put on meds, which controlled her seizures.

She graduated high school with average grades and was looking about for schools- which was hard because she had no idea what she wanted to do. Finally she told her parents she wanted a break, she wanted to go on a trip of self discovery. She told them she didn't know who she was yet. Who she wanted to be and she felt a adventure by herself was what she needed. They were worried as any parents would be, but they gave her their blessing and sent her on her way to “try her wings”

Knightly's journey of self discovery led her to Wonderland City where she got a job in a small book shop and made just enough to squeak by. She plays her guitar and sings on the weekends on the streets to try and make extra cash-this is how she met Rook.

Rook was a starving artist, a painter and photographer. He was young, blonde and full of passion and inspiration and hope for a better tomorrow. He heard her playing and stopped to listen and then just stayed- pulling out his sketchbook and drawing her as she played.

Every weekend this happened, he'd somehow find her and draw her while she played and sang- then about three weeks later he introduced himself and they struck up a conversation.

For Knightly it was almost love at first smile- and boy did Rook have a killer one. She found herself falling hard, he was such a nice boy. The kind of boy that made you think for the future, think of how the sun will come out tomorrow.

After nearly six months of this he asked her to model for him, he wanted to paint her. She agreed and only was a little shy when he told her it was going to be a nude piece.

Needless to say one thing led to another and very little painting was actually done. Knightly was madly in love with him- he as her everything and was really happy. He made her feel she was perfect in her own quirky way.

They were together for almost a year when Knightly found out she was pregnant, she was terrified but in his soft spoken way Rook convinced her they could do it. He wanted to marry her, he wanted to have a family with her.

But for once Rooks dreams of a sunny tomorrow weren't meant to be. He was killed, shot through the head in an accidental shooting- the killer was only a 14 year old kid who didn't realize his fathers gun was loaded when he pointed it at the living room window and fired- and fired into the street.

Knightly was devastated, Rook was her anchor, the person who made her feel safe and grounded and now he was gone. He was gone and she was alone and pregnant in a world that seemed to be ready to plunge into war again.

At the moment Knightly is 7 months pregnant, and struggling to make ends meat to pay for her doctors appointments. The old woman who owns the bookshop where she works kindly gave her more hours, just as a charity, but even with this knightly is struggling. She wants to go home- but has no money to go, and her parents have fallen on hard times and can't come and get her. And the worst part is that she can't take her medications that control her epilepsy while pregnant-and she is frightened something bad will happen to her baby if she has an episode.

Personality: Knightly is a optimistic, and tries to look on the bright side as much as she can, but now she is having trouble doing that. Shy, a wallflower she goes through life barely making ripples in the world around her. She isn't the kind of girl you'd notice on the street. And this always bothered her, she always felt she wasn't letting all of herself out to show the world- that she wasn't sure who she was.

She tries to just life her life in the quiet happy way she always wanted, how she and Rook lived. She is desperately holding onto what she always felt was safe- every last shred of Rook left to her. His clothes, his books, his paints- she refuses to get rid of them or sell anything. She clings to a past where she was truly happy and content.

She is good natured and even tempered- a motherly little thing with a big heart she freely offers to anyone with all the love her passionate soul has. She is empathetic and feels her emotions keenly, this compromises her good sense at times as she doesn't think before acting.

Usually a sweet and feminine girl next door type Knightly has a quirky sense of humor and acid sarcastic streak that often catches others off guard with her snappy comebacks.

Clumsy and blushy is one way Rook would have described her. She's not graceful- in fact she clumps about her flat in a way he found both hilarious and adorable. But his favorite thing about her was her blush- almost anything could set her off- and he loved making her do so. She has seen the worst in the slums of Wonderland City- but somehow managed to hold onto her innocence- something that is precious in a place like Wonderland City.

Weapon(s): None, she's almost completely helpless- even more so now that she's pregnant- she can't run as fast as she used, and being front heavy has thrown her balance.

Ability: She has a gift of endearing herself to almost everyone she meets- she can get past the toughest shell and walls people put up, snuggle into their hearts and makes herself at home.

Up for Love?: Straight and yes. She's still grieving her boyfriend but her heart is the kind that yearns for love.

Other: She is terrified of dogs, strong perfume makes her morning sickness kick into high gear and her tee-shirts are getting too tight to cover her baby bump.

Okay, SB is up! Now I just have to get Vyper and Veer to write their opening posts, then we can start *cough*

Can I ask something? Why is everyone getting the idea to make there character pregnant? Blair's practically the only female character here who doesn't have a baby on the way.

8D

Bahaha, LH, I was thinking the exact same thing.

For the record, Regina was first <.<
..actually now, I'm making babies all around in this SB.

So many jokes just waiting to be made.

Kind of proving my point about making babies :3

Spoiler

~Name: Rook (more of a self-given nick because it felt right)
~Based on what character?:
~Age: 25
~Alliance: Hearts
~Rank: Diplomat

~Appearance: He's a slender, blonde guy with rather symmetrical and pleasant-to-look-at features. His hair, as much as he managed to tame it, is tied with dark blue string at the back of his head, curling a bit at the end, and his eyes are gray, sometimes seeming blue. He's often seen with a smile, and almost always with a pen (or something of the sort) in his hand. He has a little scar on his forehead.

~History: Well, he was born in Wonderland City, and learned of his love for drawing at very early age - around the same time, he also learned about his ability. He had a happy childhood, with his parents in middle district. They worked in a circus, his mother taming animals and his father being a fire dancer - Rook more or less learned both, but he always preferred quiet drawing over showing off.
He traveled Wonderland and neighbour countries, always curious about seeing something new, but he always wanted to go back and see his hometown. As he was thirteen, they got back to Wonderland City, and the next time the circus was moving, Rook decided to stay behind. Over the years, being an artist and not having practically anything, he got to know the city, it's streets and hidden places where one could spend a comfortable night when it'd rain outside.
One day, he heard someone playing the guitar and singing - eventually, he met Knightly, and he fell in love with everything on her. They were happy together as a couple can be, and Rook loved his life. Even without Knightly knowing, he drew tens of drawings of their future together, including how he imagined their kid to look like.

Rook, however, remembers none of it.

He remembers waking up with killing headache, freaking out as he found himself in a darkened room with coffins all around. Rather disoriented, he found his way to the mirror to even see what he looks like - at the time, he still had, well, a hole through his head, so he draw himself to somewhat decent appearance.
After that, he spent time wandering the city's streets, getting to know town again, though this time he kept away from people. Eventually, he accidentally stumbled across the Hearts' HQ, and managed to talk his way out of Yamani killing him. He stayed by her side ever since, though he isn't often seen in their HQ - he much prefers the city, where he knows how to stay below the radar.

~Personality: Rook is a free spirit and a charismatic person - people quickly grow fond of him, and he rather easily grows fond of people as well. He's optimistic and always believes in better tomorrow, and is very good in comforting people and making even the worst things sound good. He often smiles, and sometimes acts rather recklessly and disregarding orders, but once his loyalty is acquired, it's nearly impossible to make him switch sides.
He loves music and he always sees some kind of talent in people. He's generally calm and doesn't get mad easily. He also likes to tease a little, and sarcasm is like a native language. When he cares about someone, or even only if his intuition is telling him so, he is very protective and caring.
He never killed a person and never would, for as long as there's any other possible way to solve the situation.
He does, though, know how to sneak up on people, and even steal whatever needs to be stolen.

~Weapon(s): Rook carries a small knife, but uses it more for slicing fruit than anything else. Other than that, he has his pen(cil) and paper.

~Ability: Whatever he draws, no matter how unrealistic it seemed, will happen one way or another - but only for as long as he's in the picture. If he'd, say, draw Yamani on the throne with Lordie and Miranda at her feet, it would mean nothing. If he'd draw himself next to them, then it would happen, seeing that he'd be there to see it - but it's tricky, for it can mean that it'd only happen for a moment, and that the happenings before and after could lead to any possible other future.
He drew himself and the baby before he died, and since he could hardly see his child if he stayed dead, he came back.

~Up for Love?: Yes. He's straight, though he can handle experimentation.

~Other: He met Thorn as he was rather young, and Thorn helped him go through his first "alone" years. Rook thought of him as friend, and vice versa, but he doesn't remember that now either

Blair, Minerva, Miranda, Luna, Tabitha (if she counts) and also Yamani in the beginning. That's 5,5 out of 7 females xD

Veer, now it's your turn

Oh, Vyper you totally stole the opening I left for Minerva xD Well, my bad, I didn't write her name. I'll come up with something else in my next post.. Or if megsug do

EDIT: Oh, and I love all the stars in your post. Someone has indeed read the rules xD

Do we have to wait for Veersies' post if we don't have characters in the Thrones?

I think yes, for the Trio are, like, the leaders, and should post first. To give it all background and so.

*sighs* Yeah... That's what I thought. Just wanted to make sure.

If anyone is going to be at Lordshire's Harbor, tell me before like tomorrow or Monday depending on what happens so I can include your character in my post.

Oh! And YWS is being really dumb for me. Chat's gone. I can't 'like' anything. And the only way I can post is to "quote" someone else, and then type what I want. So, for anyone who can't find me on chat (@megsug), it's 'cause I can't find me on chat.
