Tomberton // Teens with powers // Semi Lit

[rothbart.]

Welcome to Tomberton, stranger!

The name of the town you live in is Tomberton. At a glance, it seems like a completely regular Maine neighborhood. Things that happen happen slowly, but news spreads like wildfire, much like in any other small town. There's a small residential area, a community library, a few family run restaurants, a bakery, the usual assortment of things for a community its size. But...



Tomberton is different than other towns. Surounded by a thin veil of- well, nobody knows, really; the locals call it magic, the seasons never change in the town. In a constant state of autumn, the air is crisp, the apple trees are always ready for harvest, and leaves coat the ground year 'round. Nobody, not even the long time residents, knows why it's like that, or how the town defies science like it does, but they have noticed something...

People in town are special, too. The "magic" somehow rubs off on them, giving them subtle powers. A boy who can influence the weather by concentrating hard enough, a girl who can change the mood of a room just because she wants the atmosphere to feel a little different, the place has made it all. Even if you weren't born in the town, once you live there for a while, you'll notice changes. Things you can do that you couldn't before.

Rules:
1 - All of Tess' rules apply.
2 - Please, dears, don't fight OOC. While I encourage a healthy dose of drama in the RP, I don't want to see any elsewhere.
3 - When speaking out of character, use brackets. ( ) [ ] { }, you know the drill.
4 - Try to be active, but if somebody's fallen behind in their posting, don't go and write a book so they'll be lost when they return. It's sort of rude.
5 - Your characters can't be perfect. They need flaws, insecurities, secrets. And their powers can't be anything too strong.
6 - This RP is semi literate. I expect at least 4-6 lines in a response per character, even with writer's block.

Name:
Opal Lindsey Sierra

Age:
17

Picture:


Physical description:
Opal's a short girl with a high metabolism, so she's pretty tiny. Eyes are a greyish hazel, and they lighten up a little bit in sunlight. Her skin doesn't like to tan, so she's pale, as well. Her outfit of choice is something along the lines of a dark, long sleeved top and fitted jeans. She avoids dressing in anything fancier at all costs, unless it's for a school dance.

Personality:
Opal is quiet, but she marches to the beat of her own drum. She finds it hard to trust people to the full extent, and she's tentative when it comes to relationships. She tries to see the glas as half full, especially when looking at other people's problems and helping, but a slight inferiority complex keeps her from seeing her glass like that hald the time. She's seen as somewhat eccentric in how she speaks and acts sometimes, as she gets her feelings across in a confusing manner, but it's not always a bad thing.

Sex:
Female, plain and simple.

Gender:
She identifies as a little bit of both, sometimes neutral. That said, to keep things simple, she'll call herself a girl and doesn't really mind what people refer to her as. She, chee, him, she doesn't really have a preferance, though she'd draw the line at "it".


Resident or newcomer?:
Resident. Her grandfather was both in Tomberton, and her family's been there ever since.

A short history:
Born and raised in Tomberton, Opal doesn't know anywhere else. She lives with her father, because her mother ran out on them years ago. The event has sparked some trust issues and made her doubt love, but in the recent years, she's learning to open up a little again. She started working in her aunt's bakery when she was 15 and has worked there ever since, though she's not particularly fond of the job. Overall, she's had a pretty uneventful life.

Likes:
Plants, birds, reptiles, and quiet people, to name a few things.

Dislikes:
High contact sports, closed minded people, big dogs, the colour pink, and really loud places.

Their special power:
Opal can make plants grow a little bit better with her mere presence, and she's got a talent with gardening and flower arrangement.

Flaws:
A serious introvert, she gets nervous in social situations, especially when it's with a big group of people. Along with that, she's pretty indesicive and even simple choices are pretty tough.


Orientation:
Pansexual. Her motto's "Hearts before parts," though recently, girls have seemed a little more appealing than guys.

Crush:
She's probably got one, but what are the chances she'll tell the likes of you?

Relationship status:
Single. Has been for a while now.

Full name ;~; Bayside Harding
Common name ;~; Bay
Gender ;~; Female
Birthday ;~; March 15th
Age ;~; 18 years on the dot

Personality ;~; Bay is very, well in one word, placid. She is not one known to talk, and she barely takes offense to anyone who may think her strange for it. She is rather quiet, reserved and rarely talks to others, but she sometimes surprizes people when she does talk because she mainly only does so when told to. Bayside is also not one to hurt others intentionally, and tries to be nice to those whom are kind to her.
Memoir ;~; History is the hardest subject to discuss with her, but here goes. Back when she was first born, her father murdered her mother in cold blood, and given that, he was killed by some of the people living in the area, mind you, it wasn't the most stable community. But once they had found out that she was now without parents, they put her in foster care and she was soon adopted by a married couple who couldn't have their own children, and brought her here, to Tomberton when she was five. Bay was a mistake, or at least according to her real father. This was the one thing she was ever told by him and remembered. She has thrived on that very statement, always trying to prove herself to her deceased father, whether he is in hell or heaven, or somewhere else, she would never want to let him down, even though he hated her, she loved him down to every last rotten bit of him, but, she feels as though no matter how hard she tries, the gap between them could never be filled. She keeps her past hidden from most, and this is the first time she would have ever told anyone of it.
