Haha! Made it today!
Okay, so, now that I'm done with the victory dance about my triumph over laziness, I think I'm going to write now. Only I don't know what to write about.
Well, I want to write fiction some day, so maybe I could write some fiction? Yeah...I could profile each of my RP Characters for you, if you don't mind. I've been needing to get more in touch with them anyway. (and it will help me make like a week's worth of posts)
List:
Roger Gillespie[FFU]
Alfonso Quesada[FFU]
Morgan Pendragon[FFU]
Akhila al Serq[Sphere]
Morrigan Nephthys[Avaren]
Lethe and Mnemosyne Kaligaris[FFU]
Toby Treuleal[FFU]
Skullwhite Windgallop (aka: Ryder Munro)[FFU]
Tonight, It's going to be Roger Gillespie, because he's first on the list. I like Roger a lot; he's pretty screwed up.
Okay, so description. He's a fairly big guy. Maybe six foot four, and about two hundred fifty pounds. Which is funny, because as a kid, he was always shorter and skinnier than everyone else. He's Irish, so he was pale when I was young, but age and sunlight have tanned him. His skin is rough, and scarred in places. No really disfiguring scars or tattoos, but he is missing the little toe from his left foot. Since the age of twenty-two, He's had these 'episodes', where he loses his mind. Mostly, he goes out drinking, sometimes randomly curses people, and occasionally he'll kill someone while he's like that. Furthermore, these episodes cause him to not feel pain as acutely as he normally does, and turns him into something of a masochist. He remembers only faintly things that occur during these episodes.
Oh, yeah, he's on Firefox University [FFU], a Harry Potter-based RP.
Anyway, He's the son of a squib/whore and some unknown wizard. When he was born, his mother gave him up for adoption, since she didn't want the job of rasing a kid.
He was passed from one muggle foster family to the next. At first, he genuinely hoped that someone might accept him into their family, that someone would love him as their son. Eventually, he figured that no one would ever see him as more than a freak, so he began to systematically torture the families he was placed with. When he was ten, the family he was with had him committed to a mental institution. He stayed there six months, never spoke a word, never moved except to eat and use the bathroom. After six months, he used his saved up energy to break out. He'd heard one of the other men there babbling about magic, and he(the old man) inadvertently gave him(Roger) the address to the Leaky Cauldron in London. Once there, he washed dishes and bussed tables, and did anything else he could to earn his keep. He was thrilled to finally find a world in which he belonged. He worked hard, and when he was eleven he got his letter, and spent the next seven years at Hogwarts. He was sorted into Gryffindor, and it was truly the happiest time of his life. He studied hard, and got good grades (He wasn't the best student, but his effort showed). He had friends, was made prefect, and fit in. He even had a girlfriend.
When he graduated, he went into Auror training. He was twenty-two when it happened. He was scheduled to be shepherded on a routine call by a couple of old hands. No one thought anything would happen. Anyway, one spell or the other backfired, or hit him, no one involved really remembers what happened. Three months later, he woke up in St. Mungo's. The healers had tried their best, but the incident left him with sporadic 'episodes', for lack of a better term, where he sort of blacks out and act irrationally. The Ministry wanted him to stay in St. Mungo's indefinately, but Gillespie wouldn't have it. He was discharged, but he was no longer fit to be an Auror.
He got married to his girlfriend, and he worked at a shop for a while, and had a son, but during one of his episodes, he hit his wife, and she left with their child. He was so depressed after that, he quit his job. Eventually, he met up with Count Scorpius's Society of Shadows, and joined them out of nothing else, but bitterness for his ruined life, and an intense desire to belong somewhere. The Shadows moved from Britain to Spain, Gillespie along with them. When Count Scorpius fell, after the battle of Firefox, Roger went into hiding for a while, but was picked up by the Spanish officials during another of his episodes.
He spent quite a few months in prison, and he reacted about as well to that as he had to the mental institution and St. Mungo's. That is to say, he hated it. The dementor prison gaurds dragged up some of the unpleasant memories from his childhood that he'd tried to forget. This caused him to have worse, and more frequent episodes, until they moved the dementors away. He was on the same cell block with a number of other Shadows, all of whom, he found repulsive, as he was convinced they were leaking information to the Spanish Ministry. Also on his cell block was one Atra Alveus, French Shadow, and one of Scorpius's trusted lieutenants. There were even rumors that she and Scorpius might be more than just cohorts.
One crazy night, some Shadows who'd avoided capture joined up with the freshly patched up Scorpius, and they broke Gillespie, Atra, and the others out of jail. That night, he fell in love with Atra. However, after the jailbreak, they returned to the Secret Base, only to discover that it wasn't secret, but crawling with law enforcement. There was a brief confrontation and everyone was forced to scatter. Roger went into hiding for a few more months, until he decided one day that he was done with receiving orders; he wanted to give them. He poisoned the stone of the fountain in Drakborough, to terrorize the town, but was stopped by Julian Forbes, unofficial head of the Ministry, and Talon Windwaltz, headmaster of Firefox University.
Now, he's back in hiding, nursing his wounds, and hoping to run into Atra.
Next time, it'll be Alfonso!
