Name- Rowan C. James Gender- Female Age- Seventeen; not the youngest there, but certainly not the eldest Element- Earth; -The ability to create and control golems This is probably her most powerful ability. Golems are somewhat humanoid creatures created out of inanimate objects (in her case, she can only create them out of rock), and can only be controlled by the creator. However, in order to move, the golems feed off her own life energy and therefore it is very difficult for her to keep one running for a long time. She can usually just create smaller ones, as the larger ones are quite hard to control. Although they start off being powerful, they grow weaker and weaker the longer Rowan has to keep one going. -Can separate pieces of sediment from the ground Not huge chunks; usually nothing more than a rock the size of perhaps a large dog. They're heavy and hard to manage, so she can usually only keep one up in the air for a very short period of time. Most of the time, one is all she can do, but she can handle a couple or even a few at a time if she tries hard enough. -Can change the state of rock Not over a huge area; could probably only convert the earth in a patch the size of an average bedroom floor. She can change any type of earth material to any of the variants of the igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rock groups, although some are harder to convert than others. -The ability to make small splits in the earth Very small; definitely not big enough to engulf a person. The cracks come in handy when she need to trip someone, but they couldn't seriously hurt someone. If she really concentrates, she can create a crack wide enough for someone to get their leg stuck in it.
She has to have some type of connection to some type of earth material in order to preform most of these actions, which is why she wears the necklace (stated in "Looks"). If she grips the rock tightly enough, she can use any of her abilities, whether she's on the ground or not. However, her powers are significantly weaker if they are powered by the rock and the rock alone. The more earth she's in contact with, the stronger her powers will be.
{If Dusty is kind of lurking at all, I'm terribly sorry if I copied you at all! D: I didn't intend to, I swear. uwu} Looks- Rowan has more of a masculine build than a lot of females. She isn't tall, only about 5'5", but is more filled out by muscle. She isn't extremely physically muscular, but she definitely isn't petite. Her skin is a darker shade of olive, and brown freckles are splashed onto her shoulders and around her cheeks and nose. The freckles are fairly dark, and are rather visible at almost all times. Her skin is rather unusually dry, especially around her hands, so whenever she's doing anything physical she has to wear finger-less gloves that cover her palms and prevent them from drying out further. Her chocolate-colored hair used to fall to her mid-back in gentle and enviable waves, but she found that her thick and inconvenient hair was hard to manage, so she took a pair of scissors and cut it all off herself. She cut it up to the very nape of her neck, leaving nothing but the equivalent of an average boy's haircut. She never does much with it, but it's short enough to retain a sort of spiked-up shape most of the time. Her eyes are primarily an oak brown, flecked with many splotches of dull olive green and even tiny specks of a goldish color. She refuses to wear a dress as she finds them very restricting, and does just fine in a simple black t-shirt, boots, thick pants and her gloves. She also wears a necklace with a smooth gray stone strung onto it, which is explained in "Element".
Also, since I don't have a model for her, here's an HA I made for her, ahaha. http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa472/Rescreatu/RowanJames.png Just so you can have somewhat of a more clear visual. Personality- In short, Rowan doesn't comply to the society's definition of "female", exactly. Aggressive, competitive and head-strong, she certainly isn't the type of person who's afraid to get her hands dirty. She has an attitude focused on getting things done, and if she's determined to do something, there isn't a single thing that could possibly stand in her way. She's very hard-headed, and sometimes has difficulty understanding vague things. Therefore, she is very blunt herself. Humor doesn't seem to click with her much, either. It's not that she's not intelligent, because the girl's got brains, but she simply doesn't understand communication quite as well as others. Although rowdy and rather "rough-and-tumble", she's generally a nice person. She certainly doesn't sugarcoat things and doesn't see much of a need to spare a person's feelings, but she never intends to harm anyone. Despite her lack of elegance and femininity, she doesn't lack manners. She doesn't eat with her hands and knows how to sit properly, but slips up considerably more than the average person. She's somewhat of a control freak and has a desire to be in charge at all times, so she tends to shove herself in front. She isn't that type of person that'd be anything to be leader, but she certainly prefers it. Other- Straight, but somewhat "open-minded", if you will. Still kind of confused on her sexuality, and figures that she has plenty of time to figure it out. Occasionally drinks, but it's not like it's a problem. She gets extremely loud and is very likely to provoke a fight when drunk.
Another song I like is "Carry On My Wayward Son" by Kansas. c:

Gunner was making his way calmly out of the hall when something grasped firmly at his butt. He snorted, startled, whirling round to face his attacker, only to see a streak of red hair dash past him into the barracks. He stood there for a full minute trying to figure out exactly what happened, when it all suddenly clicked into place. He chuckled softly to himself, shaking his head and passing a hand across his face. Poor girl. He considered briefly going after her, but after seeing Oddessa in pursuit, decided against it.
He'd probably just embarrass her further anyway. Shrugging to himself, he dropped by his room to pick up his leather jacket -- it was a cold morning and he didn't want to lose too much heat before the day really began. Shrugging on the slick black material, he stepped back outside no less chipper than he'd been when he'd woken up. Spotting Emily across the hall, he dashed forward to stick his foot in the door before she shut it. He pushed it back open halfway, leaning against the door frame as he shot her a friendly grin.
"Any idea what's on our schedule today?"
-- Back in the mess hall, Darryl blinked as Jasper wiped something off his face. He wrinkled his nose at the sensation, running a hand back over his nose and chin just to double check that there wasn't anything left, before giving Jasper a sheepish smile.
"Thanks. M'just still a little.." he paused to yawn, fingers scratching at the mess of red curls on his head, "...sleepy," he finished.
He flexed his shoulders back, trying, to get the kinks out of his back. They seemed to be perpetually settled between his 5th and 6th thoracic vertebrae. He reached a hand back to rub at his neck, also a bit stiff from having fallen asleep at his desk again.
"I was trying to update the data system for the results from the biotests, but the coding was off. The data glitched and I had to recover some of the backlogs and reinput them once I was finished actually fixing it."
He rambled on with a small frown, hands waving animatedly in the air as he explained the problem, eyes not focusing on anything in particular, deep as he was in his thoughts. Out of paranoia he'd ended up making another 5 copies of the backlogs last night, afraid of what would happen if he lost the data.
"I think the problem is in the coding for the interpretation sequence but I'm not sure exactly which one it's in. I could probably get rid of it if I just simplified the ing but streamlining it is gonna take a bit of work and I don't know how I'm going to resolve-..."
He continued to rant to himself, occasionally pausing to chew on the tip of his thumb -- a bad habit he had yet to curb.

Patsy Susanna Rhode was on a mission.
A mission that involved her baking, and just making, lots of sweets. Caramel squares for Connor and Martin, taffy for Maxwell, peach candies for Keegan, some fruit to dip in chocolate to give to Emily after a little while, assorted hard candies for Darryl, cookies for Kyre, and a wide variety of other things in case anyone else wanted something they liked.
Being the sweeheart she was, Patsy felt the need to deliver the sweets she was sure off, starting off with delivering a nice batch of chocolate chip cookies to Kyre with a wide smile. "Kyre! I made some cookies for you!" she called, holding out the carefully wrapped package, meant to help keep the cookies as fresh as possible. "I know you like cookies, and I had a lot of free time the past couple days so I went about making thins for everyone!"
__________________________________
Okay. Time to go find Maxwell.
Which, once he made it to the boys' area, wasn't that hard.
"Maxie, there you are. Had me worried for a bit there," he said as he moved to stand near the water-element, making sure there was no skin contact. He didn't need to give the poor guy frostbite overtop of his stunning mental health issues. Xander felt bad for the poor guy, so he figured he should try to help the guy whenever possible.
________________________________
Jasper blinked after tossing the napkin into the trash, tilting his head a bit. "Uh, hey Darryl? I don't...speak tech," he said gently, looking confused. "I honestly don't have a clue what you're talking about, but I'm assuming it's really important or you wouldn't be getting this worked up about it, right?" He crossed his arms over his chest, trying hard to understand what it was Darryl was going on about, but...he had never really trained in that area. He was a medic, not a technician, after all.
It seemed important to the sleepy guy, though, so he wanted to try to understand..at least just a little bit.
((SORRY THIS IS TERRIBLE))

((M just hoping that we're all at the same time by now |D))
Spotting a specific pair of cargo pants, Kyre nearly- never mind, actually- squawked in indignation. That little thief was making off with his pants! And his shirt! ... Wait, his shirt too?
This was crime. Crime.
Jerking himself up from his about-to-sit position, the Wind elemental bolted up- and promptly met face to floor. Kyre swore it was just like in the movies when they show the slow-mo of the protagonist heroically falling somehow. Except it happened more in half a second and less in five minutes, and it hurt a lot more and was quite a bit less heroic. Prying his face off of the floor, the Elemental managed to catch a glimpse of orange curls before they disappeared.
Piper had escaped.
Kyre refused this ending, and scrambled to his feet, ready to dash for his precious pants when he felt his feet lose traction (again). Arms windmilling, he gave a cry before collapsing gracelessly to the ground (again). He glared down at the thing responsible for his fall from grace.
Ohyeah. He forgot. It was that wood panel.
Fists balled he glanced back up at the exit from the mess hall.
Climbing up to his feet, Kyre was just about to make one more attempt at salvaging his attire when a familiar voice called out to him.
Nary a second later, the scent hit him.
Warm, chocolaty... Baking.
He'd retrieve his clothing later.
Letting his nose guide him, he eventually came to a familiar Patsy.
Puppy eyes full on, he said "Cookies?"
((Yay! In which Kyre shows his true clumsiness, makes a vow to pants, begs for cookies, and reveals his true nemesis- that wood panel.))

{My brother was critically ill and possibly dying (he's alright, thank god) and a "friend" of mine has mentally broken me down to a point where I haven't had the motivation to do anything. I apologize that this took so long.}
Levi had finished his breakfast and handed in the dirty dishes within a couple minutes. He ate quite a bit on a daily basis as he had a rather large stature, but he ate quickly. Everyone seemed to be slowly migrating towards the bunks, so he tagged along with the other male soldiers and followed them.
The semi-familiar sent of freshly-baked goods drifted by him though, so naturally, he decided to break away from the group and follow it. He figured that Patsy had stopped by to deliver the treats; who else would bring actually decent food to the military grounds?
He ended up in the boys' room anyway, as Patsy had gone to deliver something to the insane little water boy whom he believed was named "Maxie" or something like that. A boy he recognized as Kyre was looking expectantly at Patsy, probably waiting for his cookies.
Levi, knowing that he was older and larger than this boy, figured there was nothing he could do if he decided to snag one of his cookies. Levi never had anything brought to him, but that was likely because he actually wasn't partial to sweets. Despite this, however, he never really ate enough for his larger body, so even after a meal he was still hungry enough to eat just about anything.
Without uttering a word to either Patsy or Kyre, a used one hand to peel off a bit of the wrapping protecting the cookies slide a cookie off the plate and his free hand to ruffle Kyre's chestnut-colored hair almost as if to say, "Yeah, I stole your cookie, and what are you going to do about it?" To avoid being caught for his thieving ways, he wandered off in a totally random direction, searching for something to do until something important happened.
He found himself back in the mess hall, although he wasn't sure why. He supposed that he was just avoiding his responsibilities and the mess hall was the only place he could think to do so. He found Keegan in the back, and although he couldn't remember ever speaking to the man, Levi wandered over anyway.
There wasn't any empty seats nearby, so he settled for sitting himself down on Keegan's knees. He wasn't flirting with him, oh heavens no; Levi was far out of Keegan's league. No, he simply wanted to see if he could get a reaction out of the usually-silent man. He simply sat and ate his cookie without saying anything to Keegan.
He had sat down just as Twitch came over. "'Ey Twitch," he said, looking up and grinning at the other corporal. He had finished his stolen cookies by then and wiped the crumbs off on his pants. "I could run the errand for ya want me too," he offered, completely ignoring the fact that he was sitting on a man and not a chair.
{Levi stop being a bum 8( Um, was Rowan accepted? :o If so, I'll post an intro for her on my next time around.}

((Oh noes. Kyre gonna CRY xD
He'd do his huge cartoon sad kicked puppy face. And it's such a sad kicked puppy face that EVERYONE would feel guilty that someone took his cookie.
Tho he'll just pull an extra nasty prank on Levi later with his windsees.)) |

About half an hour after the 'Butt-Grabbing Incident' - she was going to call it BGI for short - she opened the door to her room, and peeked out, one large brown eye and a couple of strands of orange hair were the only thing visible. She had seen, rather, heard Odessa call out to her, and briefly wondered why she was talking to her, before getting back on topic.
Nope. No-one was outside. Piper opened the door fully, before stepping out, only to have someone run into the back of her. She tensed, before looking upwards and backwards slightly. She suppressed a groan when she saw who it was, and then turned around fully, before doing a weak salute, like the happy-go-lucky soldier in front of her.
Jimmy was a private in the army, and he was stationed here to keep everyone happy. It didn't work. Everyone hated how happy he was. ALL THE TIME.
Jimmy grinned broadly at her, which made Pipe wince and instantly drop her arms, before slowly stepping backwards. "Oh no you don't missy-moo! How did little Piper get some pants, and a top?" He crooned at her, and Piper could feel her irritation rise in her. "I got the pants from Kyre. I made the top with my light." Jimmy loved talking about her powers, and he was forgetful anyway, so really, she wasn't purposely taking the conversation away, she just gave him the idea. Piper really was more cunning than she let on.
As Jimmy babbled on about how he wished he had powers, and things like that, Piper slowly took bigger steps, and when she reached the end of the hallway, she turned and bolted away...
...into Kyre. Damn.

Keegan froze. What the hell was Levi doing. He quickly grabbed Levi by the hair and, using some of his force, flipped the man over his back and onto the ground. Today was not the day for Keeg to be messed with. He leaned down and hissed in Levi's ear. "Try and pull that crap again and ill Kill you." And he meant it. He was rather glad he did not have his combat knife on him, or he would have taught this man a lesson. He silently sat back down, looking at Twitch without blinking. He really didn't care if he got in trouble. Actually, he preferred doing exercises and courses. It gave him something to keep his mind focused on. ((Souda should have mail.)) |

Clear. Perfectly, beautifully clear. In some ways, it was almost haunting, how such a unique thing could simply disappear at a moment's notice. It really gets you thinking about life, about what it's all about, doesn't it?
Connor's light breathing broke into a contented sigh as he sprang up onto his feet, grabbing a towel off his terribly messy bed. It wasn't actually his bed, but it was as close as he usually came to it. As the boy quickly brushed the towel over his face and neck, cleaning the droplets of sweat he had been transfixed with moments ago, he glanced around the dimly lighted room.
The floor was a slightly off white tile, all but one wall made of a thin blue fabric. The wall to the head of the bed was the only solid one. God only knows what it was made of, and Connor certainly wasn't God. He threw his towel over his shoulder, grabbing a handful of the fake blue fabric wall and pulling it aside. He stretched to one side, then the other, popping his back in about three different places.
The room Connor now looked into was what served as the Hospital of the base. Of course, it wasn't the best hospital, but it served the purposes of the base quite well. He wasn't supposed to be here at this hour, but Connor hated the assigned rooms with all his heart, so he used any, and every, excuse he could to stay in the Hospital. Besides, what if there was some midnight emergency and he had to be there?
Connor trotted to an off section of the Hospital where the bathrooms and a shower were located. He quickly stripped off the tight tank-top and underwear he had previously been using, throwing them in the bottom of the shower. His body was hot from the two hour workout he has just done, and his skin was sticky with sweat. He turned the hot water valve all the way on, which, of course, meant the temperature was slightly above freezing.
After a brief shower, Connor quickly got dressed and stalked down to the mess-hall. He passed a few other people, but none of which he cared enough to stop and say "hi" to. His stomach was still pretty full from the glass of milk he shared with Kenke and Moro earlier in the morning, but he figured it would do him good to eat breakfast every once and a while.
He served himself a medium bowl of brown mush and a cup of water, then worked his way over to a trio of boys who seemed to be either arguing or doing something a bit more inappropriate. Of course, it wasn't the later, but Connor had to let his imagination make a few jokes now and again.
"Good morning ladies," he said in his ever-wonderfully-happy-but-obviously-fake voice, a little smile playing on his face. He slipped onto the table next to the other three boys, sliding his plate down with him. He lifted a spoonful of the brown mush to his nose, inhaling much louder than was necessary. "What the heck do they put into this stuff, anyways?" he asked nobody in particular. He glanced around at the other people, noticing for the first time who exactly they were. Levi he got right off, along with Twitch, but it took him a moment to recognize Keegan. Oh, well, not his favorite bunch, but it would have to do for now.
((//so lame omg// I'm sorry it's short and lame and probably has a million mistakes, but I'm uber tired and just wanted to get this over with. lD also I imagine Connor as being one of those kinda snotty characters that everyone loves because they have to. And, of course, he loves everyone and makes jokes and steals their candy and all that fun still xD))

((I'm sorry, guys. My parents found my iPod, I'm /this/ close to being thrown out, and I have no idea when I can really come back. Late January, sometime in February most likely.
If you want to keep going, please do so. I really, really don't want to see this RP die. D: (So yeah you can totally kill Emily/Max/Twitch. Or like, fight for control idrc) So yeah, I'm really sorry. Hope y'all have a merry Christmas and a fantastic new year!))
