This is for anyone wanting to test out their characters in the setting before the applications open, see what clicks. Multiples will be allowed for this post, and you can generally assume any threads are a self-contained continuity unless you feel like getting creative.

Just post a thread with your CHARACTER NAME and CANON NAME in the title with a prompt and others will reply. Prompts and threads can be action spam or prose or whatever. These threads can be used on the sample section of your application, as well. Go out and have fun! Feel free to consult the institute tour and dorm guide for setting info. We also encourage you to check out the "!!event" tag on the IC comms to brush up on the story so far.

Liir Thropp | The Wicked Years

[switchly]

1: The new boy came in a right mess. Cornered by pursuers, they say, he'd flung himself off a building to the bricks below rather than be taken alive. Or perhaps he'd been pushed. Anyway, thin and pale, he's as much scarecrow as teenager. Only a last minute transformation to imitate the physiology of a cat he'd seen on the way down had saved him from a messy, if dramatic death. He's sitting up now, awake in the infirmary. Tufts of catlike fur still mingle with his wavy black hair. His eyes are still slitted, ears still a little pointed. He has the wary, resigned look of an old stray too.

2: Liir hadn't counted on his secondary mutation manifesting so suddenly. Whatever he touched, deliberately or accidentally, just showed a vision of its history to him and he blushes a bright green, trying to conceal what he just saw. Was it the blanket you made love on? The photo of someone you cared for? The plate you threw in a rage then shamefacedly glued together? Whatever it was, he didn't mean to, but now he knows.

[Whether your character knows that's his secondary mutation or not is up to you, as are the circumstances which caused him to touch the object.]

3: It's been time enough to heal for him and now he's taken to the gym to resume certain habits he developed in JROTC. First he can be found at the heavy bag, hitting it over and over again: double leg takedown, jab-cross, thai roundhouse, the outer sweep. Then to the weights. For all, he mouths the number of each rep silently.

"Not bad!"

And leaning on the doorframe is a girl who was watching.

"Not bad at all."

Through the sweat pooling on his lashes and dripping into his very green eyes, he looks at the girl complimenting him. His slight blush is also green.

"Thank you...They only gave me a basic education on this subject in JROTC." Pronounced jay-rot-see.
