Hello everyone! It's Meggie (Diego, Calvin, Reid), here with someone I'm really sorry exists.

This is Rafael Ramirez, a senior Coppertale prefect, who everyone will probably at least know as being a mercilessly strict rule enforcer who enjoys his position way too much. Here are some other things about him, though!

Excellent social graces, very confident and authoritative. Knows all of your names and at least a few things about you. Does the fox proud, i.e. always wants to be in charge. Playful, good sense of humor. But he kind of has a lot of sharp edges that make him just a liiiiiiittle uncomfortable to be around sometimes.
Really cares about people. If you're his friend then he's super nosy and getting him to BTFO is hard. HE JUST LOVES YOU SO MUCH. LET HIM HELP YOU.
Ballet prodigy. Unfortunately, right after sophomore year, Rafael had a severe knee injury that ended his ballet career prematurely. He says he's over it. (He's not over it.) He's still a fantastic dancer, though, and every morning gathers with other students to practice. Anyone can join in, but if you show up to ogle the dancers he's browbeating you until you leave or join.
STRICT PREFECT. Rafael loves being a prefect, as in he thinks it's really fun to track down rule breakers. If you are one of these naughty children, Rafael might very well actually like you, since he sees his PURSUIT OF THE LAW as actually just a super fun competition. He has no moral objections to illegal activity.
Speaking of which, he's horribly competitive. Any time someone is in opposition to him, Rafael gets ruthless. He's waaaay into winning. He's a min-maxer in D&D, and pretty awful in LARP too. He's terrible at the role playing thing and does not get attached to his characters, but he's really good at building killing machines.
When there's a party, he publishes PARTY RULES which are just a new set of rules that allow everyone to have an awesome time while Rafael still feels in control. He's going to be making wards to the prefects all the time and I'm so sorry.

And there are a couple relationships people might be aware of:

Rafael is the son of Lorenzo and Anita Ramirez, who are a very well known celebrity couple in the Spanish-speaking wizarding world. There's always a tabloid story about their inevitable divorce or a cheating scandal.
Ricardo Ramirez, Rafael's dreamy older brother, just graduated. He was a founding member of LARP, and he was known for getting into really intense IC romances. Ric and Raf (lol very funny mom and dad) did not get along very well. Senior LARPers, feel free to say Ric flirted with your character while "in character", and then was like HAHA IT'S JUST A GAME I'M GREAT WITH BOUNDARIES. Ricardo is getting married to his high school sweetheart soon, so if anyone would like to say that this is their older sister or cousin, that would be really cool!
Sophomore to junior year, Rafael was dating Quinn Cunningham, and they were a terrifying rule-enforcing power couple that you didn't want to see on rounds together. However, Ricardo decided he didn't like Quinn, and nitpicked that relationship until the couple split last year.
CLASSES: Charms, Hermeticism, Potions, Transfiguration, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Occlumency
CLUBS: Duelling/Fencing, Gaming, LARP, Event Committee

Cecil and Maggie: Rafael totally tries to exert more power than he ought to sometimes, but he will toe the line if you tell him off. HE KNOWS WHO HIS BOSSES ARE. He's also your bad cop enforcer, and will eagerly be the mean prefect you can sic on people. ;*

FRIENDS! ENEMIES! PEOPLE WHO WANT TO ENGAGE IN HIS DETECTIVE VS. CRIMINALS GAME! His full bio is here, and I'm excited to get started.

We both know how I feel about Rafael and Quinn existing in the same universe: I'M SO STOKED YOU CAN CALL ME "SY." ~~please tell me i'm the first one to use that line, please please please~~

I don't think we figured out how they are now! I think it would be a shame if they hated each other forever. :( But I also think Ricardo picked at their relationship that it ended poorly, and they were Enemies for a while. There are two ways this could have gone in my mind, but they come back to the same thing: (1) they have already made up, and (2) they should make up this semester. Regardless of which happens/happened, I humbly request that the peace offering on Quinn's side was her attending the barre classes. Not speaking a lot at first and "just here for the workout," but developing the patience to actually work on a physical activity that requires restraint, not nosebleeds, and her taking directions from Rafael.

Kurt probably doesn't know him much. He probably tries to break as few rules as possible. Hurray!

mod announcement: kas is now banned from the game for that horrific pun

ok no i can't do that because i'd definitely have to ban ali first. like. fifty times. the next fifty mod announcement posts just start with "fyi ali still banned for puns"

but number 51 is "btw kas now banned for worse puns"

mod announcement: everyone unbanned for puns. all players who make puns get a kiss on the forehead from me.

i love puns

rafael loves puns

LMAO I FUCKING LOVE PUNS TBH sorry i just like to bully people /HIT

please everyone rest assured that gooseberry is a safe place for puns

Thank goodness.. Charlotte's username is a permanent pun fixture.

smooch

see, you say I am banned for bad puns

But what I see

Is that I win for worst puns

So in the end I won

I will sleep easily tonight

Knowing that

I won

(omg it looks like poetry)

i'm being PUNished and i've done nothing wrong.

I'm soooooo excited about Rafael and Quinn~

And I agree, I would rather have them on speaking terms now or soon! :C And I think it would be really awesome to have her at the barre classes, and Rafael trying really hard not to make it another competition thing because their relationship is so fragile. Maybe we could say she's recently started and they're caaaaautiously trying to rebuild their friendship now that they're free of Ricardo?

Rafael thinks Kurt is a GOOD BOY. He's going to tease him when he sees him at a party, and then immediately feel bad if Kurt thinks he's seriously disappointed in him.

Yas! I love that, let's do that! Do you think she knows anything yet about him having come out to his family as gay/that he is gay/etc.? (Did the first part before or after they broke up? Feel free to just make up a breakup time if it helps, it won't really mess anything up with Quinn.)

Kurt's teasing skin is growing thicker! ONE DAY HE WILL EMERGE ANEW FROM HIS COCOON OF SOCIAL NAIVETÉ AND DISCOMFORT. but, you know. not today. or tomorrow. or next week. BUT ONE DAY!

I imagine... Quinn probably knew he was some degree of not straight for a while since they were close. After they broke up he took it hard and was kissed by Ravi (http://asylums.insanejournal.com/goose_ooc/16893.html?thread=1054205#t1054205) and was REALLY ANGRY ABOUT THAT. And that was probably what caused him to try and come out to his family. At school he'll insist he's not gay and still likes women, but at home it's just easier to talk to his family about being gay than being bi/pan/etc.

Kurt is a darling angel.

suuuuuperb!
