Hello! My name is { .Hannah. !
I am { .16.
I have been roleplaying for { .four years. , and here is a sample post of mine.
Sample:{ A soft, subtle sigh escaped through the part between her pink hued lips. Gatsby Park was her retreat from reality. Whenever she felt like getting away from all the drama, or her chaotic house, this is where she came. There was something relaxing about the cool breeze ruffling the leafs, or the light laughter coming from a few children playing. The park had that mellow feeling to it in the daytime. It was a more desirable time to be out than at nigh.
Brushing a wavy piece of her hair from her face, she strolled down the main Trail. Her cerulean voids danced over the surrounds. There wasn’t much happening at the park today. Only a minimal amount of people compared to normal. She has to admit though that it was nicer not having to walk slower because the puppy love couple in front of your cant keep their hands off each other, or being ran into by a bunch of kids playing games of tag and hide-n-go-seek.
Coming to the lake’s edge she stood gazing out into the dark water, The memories she had from the lake, both good and bad, came flooding back into her mind slowly. They only made her laugh to herself at how stupid some of the moments were. Of course these memories of hers came from different sides of the lake, none from she side she stood at now. Her mind and thoughts began switching over from the lake to the ocean. Oh, how she wishes to be back on the warm, sunny beaches of California. Those are what she grew up on until the last four years. Why did her grandpa have get sick and cause her family to move? Moving to Ocean View destroyed all her plans she had made out to accomplish in life. Like the college she wanted to attend and where she was going to live, raise children, and retire too. Now she stopped thinking that way, planning ahead. It only caused heartache and pain in the long run. Instead she took a new look on life. The only positive of moving. She sees live as carefree as possible, taking one step as a time or dealing with everything as it comes.
Pushing all the negative thoughts from her mind she moved again. This time she walked along the bank side. Her gaze stayed at the ground studying the rocks as they lay. Occasionally she would bend down, to examine the shape, before straightening back up and continuing on. Obviously not what she was looking for. As she did so, she let the words and tune of a song flow from her mouth freely. Unaware of anyone relatively close around. It was like she was in her own little world.
“If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died”
Her words softly faded out into a hum as something caught her attention. Bending down and picking it up she ran her fingers over smooth, shiny surface of the glass, then the sharp edge. The ship it had made it appear in a heart shape. She smiles to herself at the fact that she wasn’t looking for a heart shaped rock or glass or anything to be more specific. She was actually looking for that perfect skipping rock. It just made her think about how love falls on you randomly. Whether it is genuinely true love or that warm love from a friendship.
{ .Mercury Zahara Skylar Steel.
Name:Mercury Zahara Skylar Steel
Age:Eighteen
Gender:Female
Sexual Orientation:Straight
Social Standing: College Freshman
Physical Appearance:
Physical Appearance:
Hair:
Talking about not knowing what she likes Mercury, always wants to change her hair color or style. She is never satisfied with her medium-long, stick straight locks. That is how it has been all her life. Her natural brown color fits with her perfectly, but she doesn’t think so. At times she loves her color and is glad to have inherited it from her father, then other times she hates it dearly. She has wished before that her father had been a blonde just like her mother. Through high school she wanted to be blonde, but her mother never allowed it. Now that Mercury is an adult she changes her hair color, or adds highlights on an average about every 3 months, give of take. Now, every time she enters the salon she comes out with a different cut style. There has yet to be a time where she has had the same hairstyle more than twice. Lately she has died back her hair it’s natural brown color. Since she has left high school it isn’t as exciting anymore. You don’t receive as big as a reaction from people.
Eyes:
Mercury was actually happy about one thing that was passed down genetically from her parents. Her Eyes. They are not a bright blue, but more of a hazy blue/gray. However with her dark hair and skin tone they pop. They are hard to miss. Because her eyes already stand out on their own she has never been one to decorate her eyes with eye shadow. Instead she just adds mascara to lengthen and give curl to her lashes. Other than mascara she occasionally puts on a little black eyeliner to give a more dramatic look. Mercury knows only one downfall about her eyes. It’s about her emotions. The two go hand in hand. No matter how hard she tries to mask how she is feeling inside, almost anyone can look deep into her eyes and know what she is feeling. Like it as been said “A person’s eyes are the windows to their soul” that hold true.
Face:
Mercury has one of those faces that you don’t fully remember every detail, yet can’t forget at the same time. It is almost mind boggling to a person as they try to vividly picture her exact features. However, in a group of people she is easily recognized by acquaintances. Besides her eyes she only has a few feature that stand out. Like her lips, which she usually has coated in gloss or her defined jaw line that gives that model effect. All her features work together to create a gorgeous, soft look to fit her lovely, facial structure.
Body:
Every wish you had that drop-dead, bomb shell of a body? Do you want that body to just to come natural in your genes? Yes, and Hell yeah. Along with almost every other girl in the world so does Mercury. Even though she already has that above normal height for a girl, standing at five ten, she would kill to never worry about gaining weight. Everyone is always telling her to eat more because she is already skinny. If only they knew that weighing 120 was not easy work for her. It is her everyday obsession to watch what she eats because she knows her limit on intake of food. Mercury was only lucky to be born with a semi-speedy(on the fast side) metabolism. Unlike some girls. She has to work hard to keep the weight off and in shape. Her body is more the skinny/athletic type. Every single morning she is up early for a jog and sometimes at night she takes a brisk run. In the past she has tried being Bulimic. That didn’t work to well because she could never get past the gagging herself part, then tasting that bitter taste that burns on its way up. When that failed she tried being anorexic. Once again there was a fault. The working out part was easy, but starving herself is something she couldn’t do for more than a few days.
Piercing && Tattoos:
Mercury has a pretty good tolerance for pain, but she doesn’t use that to tattoo and pierce herself up. Besides two holes in each ear she only has one other piercing. Her belly button. It was a sixteenth birthday present from her mom. She didn’t exactly get the piercing on her birthday, but a month or two later. It was fine with her though. Mercury doesn’t have any tattoos yet. She is thinking about possible getting one in the feature, but she doesn’t know what yet. Part of her wants a full back piece because she has the awesome idea in her mind. There is just a few problems. She has no money, no time and if she ever want to make it big in the modeling world a tattoo like that will not fly.
Style:
Mercury Style is easy to identify. To understand where she gets her style either do three of the following:
Number one; open up the latest fashion magazine and identify what they are wearing. She likes to get ideas on what is ‘hip’ in the fashion world, and bring them to her own wardrobe. Number two; observe what other people in the real word are wearing around town. Most of the time Mercury doesn’t take people’s ideas because she likes to be her own person. However, she likes to see just how other people are dressing in her community. Number three; just walk into an Abercrombie and Hollister. Those are Mercury favorite places to hit up on her shopping sprees, which she goes into every so often. They were her favorite clothes in high school and still are today. That is Mercury style in a nutshell. Take your pick because whichever one you choose you probably can catch her wearing.
Other:
Mercury is a pretty sport orientated person and with that comes injuries. She has a few big noticeable scars on her legs from accidents. Mainly running. For three years before entering high school she never had a bruise or cut on her body. To her that meant she wasn’t being active enough. Then freshman year came and kick started her accidents. There is a scar on her hand, and a few on her knees from a treadmill accident. Everyone has seen those commercials, videos, or movies where people fly off the end of the treadmill. Well, to make a long story short that happened to Mercury.
Personality:
Outgoing:
Mercury is the type of person that is the first to make her presence in any room. Not because she is trying to, but because she has this natural glow of bubbly personality. She doesn’t have to be loud or obnoxious to get attention because that isn’t what she craves. She just likes to make small talk with everyone so no one feels left out or shadowed. Her friends secretly envy her because she chats with everyone especially boys she likes, and makes it sound natural. Sure there is that sense of shyness in her body, but that Mercury is rarely seen. Why be bored because your why? She makes new friends wherever she goes because of this personality trait. Mercury tries to explain to her friends the secret, but they don’t always get it. It is all about making a person feel comfortable not awkward around her. She has the gift of great speaking skills.
Openness:
Mercury has a mind that has forever been open to new ideas. Sure, she does close it to some things, but that is beside the point. She doesn’t see the need to be narrow minded and closed to new ideas or experiences. They are what create a good person. Because she is able to be open and unbiased her friends are always talking to her about their problems. More than just relationship problems. At times she hates being their diary, but then she has to reevaluate the situation. She has never told a thing, and her comments are always true and out of the pureness of her heart. When people criticize her, most of the time, she takes it as a stepping-stone to her own greatness. She doesn’t like to be judged and that is why she is open to every kind of person because she is sure they don’t like it either.
Adventurous:
Just because a person says they are adventurous doesn’t mean they like to go out into the woods and hike. Mercury likes that, but that isn’t the complete definition in her case. To her being adventurous if just living everyday life. It is full of new adventures that she is unafraid to overcome. The most common dating. That a whole new experience in it’s own. She likes that feeling of discovering something new about someone. Deeper than a friend basis could go. It is thrilling to her. Dating I not her only common adventure that she partakes in. Parties, where anything could happen. Dreaming, when your mind goes to farther places that the body can take you. And heading out the front door; you never know what will happen next. Mercury could come up with a long list of adventurous activities. As you can see she is never afraid of a challenge and actually greets it with open arms.
Wild:
Mercury plays that sweet, innocent, naive girl role really well around her families. Everyone has heard of the girl that you can take home to your mother, well…she might seem like she is it, but take a second guess. She will put that sweet mask on and greet your parents with a grin. At the same time though, you need to watch her because she is the one that be touchy-feely under the dinning room table as everyone sits down to eat knowing completely what she is doing. That might be Mercury’s flirty wild side, but the real wild side only comes out when she has had an abundance of alcohol and/or is at a party. A lot of guys she went to high school can say they have seen body parts without even taking her to bed. Alcohol puts her into another mindset where she doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her because you only live once. With that her wild side has opened doors to many different experiences.
Rebellious:
With being wild comes being Rebellious. Mercury has never really been one to follow the rules to a T. She is okay with both toeing the boundaries and stepping over them with full knowledge. Basically she likes to see what she can get away with. Always pushing buttons, which can put people in mad moods. This usually happens with people she doesn’t like or authority figures. It is a bad habit of her that was never broken when she was young, and continued on with her through life.
Stubborn:
Mercury is hard headed. When she doesn’t want to do something she wont and her views or opinion are open, but never changed. She has never used her stubborn trait to get things she wants. Her mother never let that fly, nor did she let the ‘not doing that’ attitude. However, that was harder to break and has yet to be broken. Mercury likes to say she is like a wild mustang. Her spirit can never be tamed. She knows what she wants, especially in life, and wont let anything stand in her way.
Hot Tempered:
Do not get Mercury mad. It is hard to do, but when it happens all hell breaks loose and all you can really do is sit back to let her simmer down. It is easier than getting involved in the situation because when she is in this state you will never win. When she is mad she hit low with hurtful comments. She has a sharp tongue and runs her mouth like no tomorrow. That is where a lot of her troubles lie when she is mad. While she is telling you off without thinking about the words she is saying, she is making impulsive decisions because she is pissed. What a girl. Once she has finished burning you alive she will ignore you in every possible way. What a girl. Like said it takes a lot to get Mercury mad, usually really hurtful unnecessary comments.
Emotional:
Whenever Mercury is finished being in a fight or argument she will sit there and cry. Everything she said she never meant to say and most of the time she doesn’t truly feel that way. It is just a way to get back the only way she knows how. She can tell you she cries a lot. There is some things that should never be said around her because they hit the wrong spot. Especially about special needs kids because he cousin is disabled and the best person Mercury knows. Her mother tells her that she has emotion waves that hit, but only shortly. Mercury can control it, kind of, but she is easily swayed from one emotion to another.
