(Sorry Chatty, I should say that it's not that I can't post because it's writer's block, I just don't want to get too far ahead without Simon, Kyro or Midnight tagging along in the timeline as well since they're important characters just as much as Archibald, Leslie, Kayden and Britt are, as Marcus, Lyon are, as Daina, Eiko, and Kakori are, as Grace and Nanako are, etc. Each story line is unique but very important to the overall goal of [insert the overall goal here, possibly uniting Humans with Sepers and Aberrants as equals].
In addition, out of my four characters, Hikyro is my favourite. He's the biggest character out of the four having the most mysterious history which no doubt everyone could find on the internet as a mix of present day facts, history, and myths and legends. He's spent 1000 years on earth. witnessed natural disasters, wars, love, discovery, and more. He could disclose hundreds of myths to being factual, accuse many historical facts to being falsified truths. He could do whatever he wanted for a career since he more than likely had 20+ years of experience in that field. He's travelled, well versed, could speak perfect French in Russian if he wanted to. However his life is very dull and he's more than likely out of practice to more than fourth fifths of his usual lifestyle, such as camping, hunting and gathering, tool making, wood carving, etc. the skills that we in the present day first-world country usually don't do everyday. He hasn't been to Russia in decades and half his Russian Slang terms he knew are outdated. His common languages he still uses to this day would be English, French, and Japanese. His voice is very North American rather than Asian due to the centuries of living among the North Americans and the British. I've rambled on for a lot of Hikyro's history, but this is still the light stuff, don't forget about all the wars he's witnessed, participated in, all the lives he's saved and taken when he decided that he wanted to do something with his life and the armies began to notice he wasn't changing in age. Then there's his finances and his money. I would say, due to the stock market, investing in businesses, working for probably 500 years, Kyro would be filthy rich. He's got funds in many businesses as a 1% shareholder to companies or the anonymous benefactor who donates $80,000 on research and development. Not to mention funding hundreds of thousands of dollars into universities everywhere using the money being paid back from those businesses. He probably wouldn't even need to work anymore now. but he does. because he's already lived his life in that era's social norm. why stop. He's spent 1000 years working. either gathering food, working as a slave, selling the slaves, working in the markets, working in palaces and temples and shrines. working on ships, with blacksmiths, in the war. you get the picture. Kyro's well funded, I would calculate his total networth at 6.75 quadrillion? give or take due to the Great Depression. and other declines in the finances.
So as a recap, Hikyro is smart, but he's no longer well-practiced in a lot of his old lifestyle. he's rich. And to prevent any cocky, flauntiness. His account is locked. Money goes in from businesses, money goes out to charities, universities and scientific research in medicine, chemistry, biology, and, what a surprise, the facility that Grace's brother is working in (That can be how the facility is funded without revealing any of their primary research) however Kyro cannot use a dime from that account, which is under his father's name Miroshi Shou (like it would matter, his father's been dead for centuries, no body would've noticed). Kyro uses his own working money to pay for his bills, lifestyle and food. (Hope that balances out his money). And also he's easy to find on the internet. Anyone could find that his name has been supporting people for centuries. Hikyro's response: "Oh that was my relative, I'm named after him,"
Anyways more to the point with you Chatty, since I just rambled about why I liked Hikyro and didn't want to proceed without advancing with him. I can post for Archibald, and I might anyways. but I don't want to leave my precious Kyro behind in the dusts of the rp. not until the day I decide that his time on Earth has finally ended. But that's not now.)

Impressive? no. this girl merely took notice of everything I had noted on the boy's performance. I could hear the shuffling of the crowd as interest began to spike. She started with talking about visual evidence. Addressing towards the audience with this statement. Not wise. other people have different experiences with Aberrants and Sepers. Drawing in a crowded view was ignorant of her. She made the same note I did about
flying humans and
aeroplanes. Good marks. Addressing the uncertainty of everyday is a good point too. She addressed his mixed facts. excellent. A jab at someone's facts is a great way to throw off your opposition from their points and leave their flabbergasted. She addressed the DNA issue with Sepers. This would be interesting if the Boy could actually say yes. but by the twitching squirming of his reaction to her words, I would say no. She brings in human abnormalities. Taking about how 100 years ago autism was rejected in society. A common fact. I stood and looked at the girl with both an approving smile, and daggered glare. She was either sassing the way I discuss myself to my class, or she was making her point. I disliked her rebellious style instantly. I turn to the boy, "Response, thirty seconds, go"
"I... There...Aberrants are horrible. the end." He said, the boy. and suddenly I had to end this debacle. "Enough, stop," I said standing and walking towards the two students. I looked to the boy. "The end? This is a university debate, not tea time with your grandmother. If this was a competition a judge wouldn't accept
the end in a response. Take your seat," I said watching he boy stumble in woeful sobs. I turned my attention to the girl. She stood in a defiant pose. She either hated me or hated my teaching skills. Maybe it was my views of students she disliked. I couldn't determine what it was. "You were well-versed, knew the proper use of the sneak attack, and even made contributions against his case. What's your name?" I asked. I was going to congratulate her, and scold her. Break her snarky attitude because determined and defiant do not go hand-in-hand.
(Hope that was good for Archibald...)
