Summary

Loraine happens to come from a Christian Family. But he has never been religious, and his busy life kept him detached from such things, so he’s not really aware of it well. And for that, he doesn’t follow or support any superstitions, is very open minded. And is a shameless flirt


His full name is Loraine Oliver Wellington.

Loraine doesn’t know but his name has a meaning. Loraine means - Famous Warrior/ more precisely, made famous in a war. And Oliver means - Peaceful.

He is in deeply in love right now with Regan, his fiancé.
But he has loved before and it was a girl named Violet who along with his sister’s ex, Carter has shattered both of the siblings’ hearts in pieces. Regan helped him a lot to glue the pieces back to their places, so he’s recovering.

Regan does not have a religion. She was raised with a slight catholic influence but neither her mother nor grandfather pressed hard on her using it as a way of life. It was more that if she wanted it herself, she would have a bit of understanding in the religious her family used to believe.


18.

Her full name is Regan Rosaline Redwood.

Regan is usually a male name and so her mother gave it to her as her ‘father’ walked out because she was a girl. What Regan doesn’t know is that her mother knew the gender of her miscarried baby and that he was going to be a boy. Philip and Christy had been arguing between Andrew and Regan as their son’s name. Christy (Regan’s mom) wanted Andrew as a reminder of her father, but Philip wanted Regan.
Though Christy will never tell this story to Rey, she named her Regan to rub into Philips’s face that ‘this is the child you always wanted, but it isn’t yours’.

Rosaline was the girl name Christy wanted to give her in case Regan didn’t like her name. She wanted to give her a name with more options. It could be Rose, Lin, Aline, Saline or just Rosaline.


19.

She’s been in love twice of which she’s currently in one that’s going to last.
Her first time being in love was, when she thinks back, just a one-sided love. His name was Chad and he didn’t like her, he just used her. He hoped that being her girlfriend would keep her from going to the police about their actions. After Regan’s grandfather died because of Chad and his friends being chased by the police, did Regan confront them and Chad took it upon himself to tab her in the back, both figuratively and literally speaking.

After that, she didn’t believe in true love anymore. All she has ever seen love do was hurt people and one part of the love walking away from the other, both to her mom and herself.

Only until she found Lor did she slowly start to open up to the idea of true love existing after all.

:joy:

I mean she discovered she loved it when she went to Taco bell all the time and she just liked the taste of it. She’s vegan so she it’s vegan burritos all the time.

I mean yeah, She’s a Christian and it affects the way she treats people because she has learned from the religion that you should treat people how you would treat yourself and always be nice to others.

Alexa Pirate Bowman: Alexa is her first name and her brother always liked to called her pirate so her parents just added the name because they thought it would be fun! Bowman is her dad’s name.

She doesn’t fall in love easily but she has been in relationships and gotten her heart broken yes. Which has made her have a different perspective of love in general.

Who is the closest person to your character?

Her brother is her best friend

World: Modern fantasy

Age: 19

  1. He’s not close to anyone. He’s the wanderer type, traveling from place to place looking for mostly redemption.

  2. The graveyard where his fiancée was buried. He would go, to simply pay his respects and mourn her. He would also struggle to make the decision to go because he doesn’t want to relive what happened.

  3. N/A

  4. Meeting his then girlfriend, he doesn’t like to talk about it, going on his first date with her.

  5. I would have to say his eyes, as for his body feature, his abs.

  6. His girlfriend would call him Bulwark, because he was like a defensive wall protecting the weak and bullied.

  7. He’s had a few busboy jobs at local restaurants, mostly just looking to make enough cash to get to the next town, where he repeats the process.

  8. With his military training and coolheadedness, he’s pretty capable of defending himself and others without using his powers. He gets in bar fights every now and then usually over stupid guy stuff.

  9. Calling people “kid”, he picked it up from his strict father who only called him “son” as a sort of reward. He will call people this even if they’re the same age or older out of habit.

  10. This one isn’t in his pocket, but he does always wear a little golden heart locket with a picture of him and his fiancée on one side and just a picture of her on the other. It was hers, so he rarely takes it off.

Reading this… sorry to be late again.

OhSumana

Why not? How does that make you open-minded? Also, what keeps him busy and detached?

HEHEHE. The capital of New Zealand.


Meekepeek

If that’s what she was raised, why weren’t they pressed to have her follow it?

WOW! Now that’s a lot of detail behind that name.

What did he do?


Quinn32

Vegan burritos are a thing?


Bluecookies

He’s never ever been close to anyone at all?

That sounds like he was close to someone?

I like that. That’s a good quirk for a character.

Korbyn Walker from the X-men Rp

I’d say Korbyn relies on her vision, as she has excellent eyesight from the raven DNA.

Why does she rely on it?

It happens to be her strongest sense along with her hearing. Her sense of taste and smell isn’t that great, so she can’t really rely on those.

Why though?

She’s essentially part bird, and most birds have excellent eyesight to help them find prey. When her X gene activated, she discovered she could actually turn into a raven.

He has but I thought you meant living. Like close to anyone alive.

In their eyes a belief isn’t something you should force but something of free will. (plus that’s how I’ve been raised).

He’s a criminal. He was part of the ‘next generation’ for a gang called Red Lily which was an elite group of younger people who had a lot of potential to make it big in the gang. Regan wasn’t as involved so they feared that at some point she would betray them.


There isn’t a specific sense she uses the most. It mostly depends on the situation. She uses hearing and sight a lot when she’s in trouble but she uses the sence of feeling more in a different situation :smirk:
But without making it weird (or at least trying), for her feeling the person she cares about friends, family or lovers, is very important to her. Especially when something has happened, embracing them and feeling their presence close to her, is really important.

Jezebel Sloane

Question 1:
For a long time, the answer to that would have been her best friend, Daniel Parker, but currently… they aren’t on good terms and he hates her. So right now she doesn’t have anyone that she is close with in the same way.

Question 2:
Jezebel would probably go to Paris. She went there for the first time as a trip during winter break for her birthday with some of her classmates, but she’d love to visit and see more of the city.

Question 6:
Anybody that really knows Jezebel, that she gets along with, typically calls her Jez.
She does have one nickname that is more special to her. Tinkerbell. Her ex gave her that nickname because of how her name ends in “bel” and before their breakup she had started dying her hair blonde. He’s the only one that can call her that.

Question 7:
Jezebel’s never really had an actual job.

Question 16:
Jezebel doesn’t really have any family traditions. The closest she’s had to a tradition, was always hanging out with Daniel on her birthday, but for her most recent birthday he wouldn’t speak to her.

Question 17:
Jezebel is not a religious person at all. She’s not against it, but it just doesn’t mean much to her.

Question 18:
Her full name is Jezebel Mallory Sloane.
Jezebel means “not exalted” and Mallory means “unfortunate”
Her name was chosen in part due to the negative connotations, since her mother was not pleased to be having a child.

Question 19:
Jezebel has been in love, and had her heart broken from that relationship ending. It was on good terms, but it broke her heart.

Question 22:
Normally she will look someone in the eyes.

She thinks all seasons have perks and valleys. She loves the warmth of summer, the colors of autumn, the smell and cosiness of winter and the freshness and colors of spring.


Eyes, eyes, eyes. She sees it as a window to the heart. She will see little things like a playful sparkle, a hint of sadness, etc.

Alexa really likes the fall. It’s just a time where she can dress however she wants. She loves dressing up for fall and going out because it is windy and warm.

When talking to someone Alexa usually looks at the eyes. Unconsciously but she just stares at you and that is how she stares when she wants to know what you’re thinking or who you are.

Question twenty-one:
He doesn’t necessarily have a favourite season but he prefers summer. There is just so much he can do then and have a lot of free times to practice and play football. That’s why he loves sunny days without the rain - he can go outside and not be stuck inside.

Question twenty-two:
It depends. If he is not interested in a conversation he would simply look around and not at the person he is talking to but if he needs something/is talking to his friends he would look at the eyes.

Question twenty-two:
Eyes, always!
