hello hello
Hey folks, I'm new. My name's Cameron, but since I take it you already have one of those in-game (it was my name first, kid, back off!), feel free to call me any nickname or variation thereof. I apologise in advance for any confusion, lmao. Anyway, I'm 24 and a graduate/professional student. I'm also falling off the wagon after 4-or-so years clean from RP, thanks to a little prodding by JJ. God help me.
I picked up 1 character. This little turdblossom is Ulysses Quayle, Ebonhide junior and baby bro to Cricket. Basically, his shtick is that he was everyone's precious baby angel until he went to boarding school and hit puberty and stuff, and then people stopped finding him cute and his whole world fell apart. Now he's like "WHO AM I" and because he's a teenager, this results in 50% melancholic navel-gazing and 50% Acting Outâ„¢. Expect trouble in everything but class, because he's terribly afraid that if he isn't effortlessly succeeding at school, it means he's lost his last identity token ("smart").
So, he's kind of a neurotic brat. Thankfully, he's also pretty charming, loyal to friends and fam, good with creatures (ask him about his blue tongued skink) 'n' kids, and somewhere deep down, a generally good guy. Ulysses is a chaser on the Quidditch team and very into it.
So yeah, that's Ulysses in a nutshell, I guess. Any plots or suggestions would be more than welcomed. I'm excited to play with you guys.

angoranimi. Sadly, I'm probably in a different time zone than most of y'all (GMT) but I'll do my best to be awake at odd hours, lol.

CLEMENTINE: Sorry, Ebonhide Quidditch team, Ulysses and Clem hate each other. And not in the cute way that Clem hates most people. They're long-standing rivals since their days at Ilvermorny (was Ulysses also on the Ilvermorny Quidditch team? Probably since then), where they frequently got in trouble for beating each other up. Since Clem's at Gooseberry on scholarship she tries not to like, deck him in the face anymore, but they still verbally get into it on the regular. Getting them to work together as chasers is a huge ordeal.
ALSO! @ Wilde, Dominic, and Kenzie: Ulysses is another junior former-Wampus. FUN GROUP!
REECE: idk if I mentioned this to you Cam but Reece's mom is a family friend of the Quayles, so they'd know each other from, like, life. They were probably made to sit at the kids' table together at Christmas parties. They probably got along better when they were kids than they do now. KINDERGARTEN PALS MAYBE? Now that he's having his Teenage Angst Phase, Reece is just like "lite avoid". He's ALLERGIC TO DRAMA.
ARIADNE: Ari sucks but she's in the same house as him and she likes weird animals so she's possibly asked him about his Blue Tongued Skink before. She doesn't really ~get~ American pureblood culture but the whole muggle-prejudice thing is super ingrained for her so she probably would just be kind of a suck-up in general.
IVY: They probably don't interact much but if you wanna do an ass pull thing to make a plot for them I'll allow it
no subject
Ohhh, no I don't thinl you mentioned, re: Reece. I would love for them to be kindergarten pals. Honestly, Ulysses was a genuine de-lite back then, so if Reece is a good kid, they probably had a blast, idk, doing puzzles and looking at bugs together. And now, Ulysses is terrible. Sorry, Reece.
Lmao, Ari seems kind of hilarious, honestly. Ulysses pretends he's Too Cool to talk about Skink Facts, but he would deadass appreciate anyone who was like "hey.... nice lizard...." Also, anyone who would suck up to him. They might (might) get along.
Please, I only write the finest, all-natural, organic asspulls. We'll see if they're any fun together, lol.

I don't know if we can figure anything for Bianca and Ulysses.
no subject
What can the two of them doooooo... It's too bad they're in different years, because I bet they'd have a great time working on a project together. Although Ulysses is kind of confrontational, so maybe not, haha. I guess we'll just have to see how they interact in the group setting.

Penelope Vargas over at
Second is Avery Davenport at
Last and newest (intro'd her today!) is Isabelle Sargent on this journal. She's a Sophomore in Ebonhide. This is her first year her, she did not come as a freshman because she was home-schooled that year while getting treatment for her OCD/Eating Disorder. She's ALSO very preoccupied with how people see her and highly anxious. I'm not sure how well they would get along but she's likely easily charmed so there's that!

I have Maggie,
Levi here is a rival Chaser for Azurcrest who's probably a bit too chummy to be declared a "rival". He acts out for attention, half-asses his studies in favor of Quidditch, has more of a focus on doing what's ~fun~ and what ~makes him happy~ and neglects other responsibilities, and is a general bad influence if you want one of those for Uly.
Thennn I have Ennis
no subject
I feel like Ulysses will absolutely roll his eyes and be a total asswipe every time Maggie moms @ him, but secretly, he appreciates it. Expect absolutely ZERO thanks for her friendliness and efforts, though, since he's trying so hard to distance himself from the role of Quayle Baby. There will be aggressive pouting, possibly outright douchebaggery. Nonetheless, he probably loves her.
BAD INFLUENCES ALWAYS WELCOMED.
Aww, Ennis. Unfortunately, Ulysses has a touch of the ol' compensatory masculinity, so he probably thinks he's too cool for Ennis too. But maybe they'll find the opportunity to ~bond over animals or class or something. Just not Divination, which Ulysses loudly believes is mostly a load of hogwash. (I can't believe people tell the future with mice? Badass, lol.)

Mackenzie Prince
Reid Wainwright
Diego Morales
Rafael Ramirez
Calvin Evercreech
no subject
TERRIBLE FRIENDS! Also, his sister (gasp) went to a dance (gasp) with a girl (gasp). I suspect that Ulysses is worse in Mackenzie's company, which should be absolutely hysterical to write.
Diego and Ulysses would absolutely be a trashcan fire, since Ulysses is also impulsive and is way more likely to make Bad Choices while in the company of others. This should be great. (GET A LOAD OF THAT SKINK!)
Ulysses thinks Rafael is evil, probably. Not really, but he'll loudly moan about how Totally Unfair he is. I suspect that for some reason, deep in his entitled, teenage, squirrel brain, he feels like he should get special treatment because of the dating sitch. I don't know why.
Oh man, I'd love to see how Calvin and Ulysses get along, since I actually think they have a good amount of personality overlap. Except Ulysses isn't on a reforming trajectory yet, haha. They'll probably snipe at each other, which I always enjoy.
no subject
This guy is Dom Tremblay, Coppertale Junior, pretty cool guy and prefect because some asshole in that dorm has to be! He's Quebecois and proud of it and has Auror ambitions for the future.
I also have Tabitha Ogletree, Ribbonfin Senior, who is a childhood friend of Cricket's. Her dad is also a MACUSA state rep, for Pennsylvania, and she is cheer captain and aims to be a professional musician or actress.
Will Chase, Azurcrest sophomore, will not have much for him. He's basically an all round dork and good kid who loves soccer and is adopted into something of a rainbow family.
Finally, I have Jo May, Ebonhide sophomore prefect, NYC native, Italian American badass.
Welcome!
no subject
Well, Tabitha and Ulysses will definitely know each other. Dunno how cute she'll find his recent antics, lol. And I suspect he would find Dom pretty interesting, since he thinks being an Auror is eminently respectable. Ulysses probably rolls his eyes at his activism, though.
no subject
also my name is kay & i have threee kids here :
Zoey Valentine (
then there's Laurel Templeton, this journal -- she's an azurcrest senior, super into drama & theatre & costumes and clothing charms, dancer, nerdy lil bookworm. she's kinda just a silly, straightforward, cheery type who thinks everything is funny and has a hard time taking anything seriously except her sincere interests. she also has an identical twin in ribbonfin (ivy!!), which is fun. she's generally pretty easy to get along with too i think, if a bit of a weirdo. i don't know that she and ulysses have much in common/run into eachother much, but she's all over the place and i'm sure they've had some interaction in the past.
last is MOST RELEVANT, Jonathan Wilde, (
no subject
also, holy shit. wilde. first of all, bless him, he is exactly the kind of guy i wanted to be when i was like 13. Sick Grinds, Dude. secondly, oh no. oh no. they're gonna be glorious/disastrous. they fit together in the most Teenage ways. i am very excited.

Most relevant is Roxanne Barringer over here who is a Junior Coppertale. She was raised in what pretty much equates to Magic Traveling Circus and walks tightrope when she's not at school violently beating on things during Quidditch games. So she'll see him on the pitch. Where hopefully Coppertale will stop sucking at life. They have a lot of classes together too!
The other two are baby Sophomores. Frankie Noble (

Mina scares me already. I love it.
SIGH, what's with all these BORING prefects. Ravi sounds adorable, but yeah, Ulysses will probably know him as a total bummer who needs to get out more.
Ulysses sometimes likes to pretend he's fun and exciting and Azurcrest-esque, but he's really not, so if they interact a lot, Ulysses will probably pretentiously roll his eyes or something. Whether or not he does that in front of Micah or passive-aggressively waits until he's just around the corner is TBD, lol.
no subject
HELLO CAMERON! This is the best! You're the best! Ulysses is the best!
I'm so PUMPED to start playing them together. Cricket is inevitably going to baby him, but she's definitely toned down the fawning since it started to make him uncomfortable/annoyed (at least where he can see it). The only thing that will legitimately piss her off is physical fighting but I love to torture my characters, so BY ALL MEANS have him brawl like crazy.
My other character is JESSE MCBRIDE! He's the Azurcrest Senior prefect. Super math/science gifted, but comes across like a dumb bro. He's very difficult to ruffle, a total troll, and generally speaking... a pretty typical gross teenage boy. He's in a baaaand that he talks about a lot. And he's going to break the space-time continuum with his senior project (a teleporter for muggles).
no subject
I'm pumped too. Also, in the interest of full disclosure... I read Cricket's app as I was writing Ulysses (obviously) and I thought to myself, "Gosh, this fighting thing will definitely upset Cricket." And then I wrote it in anyway. Because I love causing problems.
Also, lmao, Jesse is on the level. Like, just generally someone I would've want to hang out with back when I was a wayward youth. (Minus the, uhh, burgeoning alcoholism thing anyway; poor kid.) Anyway, I feel like Ulysses is pretty easy to spin up, so the contrast there could be amusing and fun!

Now with 3% fewer stupid errors
This one is Leonardo Fiori, Ebonhide Senior, most relevant to Ulysses because he's the Ebonhide Quidditch Captain. So this is the part where I apologize in advance. Leo is competitive as hell in every aspect of his life, and he takes Quidditch Very Seriously. He's reserved, collected, and tries to run his team in as an efficient/drama free way as he possibly can. (That feud between you and Decourt better never see the light of day on this field, Quayle etc). He demands a lot of his team, but he views them all as his responsibilities/ younger siblings/ yes some of them are the same age as he is. He will inevitably be frustrated at Ulysses' rulebreaking, and make it up to him by having him run a hundred drills. But he'd be there too, and it's all so the team can win. Also, Cricket is his good friend, but he would have made SO VERY SURE that Ulysses knew that wasn't the reason he made the team this year. He doesn't believe in entitlement :|
I also have Adeline Foster-Hayes over at
And then my third is Ferdinand Ayers, Junior Ribbonfin Prefect, over at
no subject
Hi, I'm roz
Most relevant is Solomon Webb (which never happens I'm so excited). He's a sophomore Ebonhide but also a chaser on the team. Solomon is a super chill kind of dude who is super understanding but he also talks a lot about a lot of things and that's probably gonna be annoying. I foresee him attempting to mediate between Clem and Ulysses without actually taking either side because he's Switzerland. Things needed to know tho - during Christmas break Casper (a beater on the team) and Solomon got into a fist fight so Solomons gonna be weirdly quiet for a while.
Then I have Teo Diaz, who is a junior ribbonfin but also went illyvekdgirn (that's how we spell that now), and was a thunderbird. They've got some classes in common. Teo is probably cooler than Ennis only Bc he looks cooler but he's a complete weirdo who Ulysses probably hates? Teo won't hate him tho. Teo loves everyone.
Then I have Olivia Sanchez who is also a junior but a coppertale. She should share some classes. She's a slightly intimidating prefect Bc she was raised as a boxer but if she ever finds Ulysses breaking any rules she prolly just tried to have a heart to heart with him. Multiple times.
And at this journal is Chris Park, the resident most active character in this entire game by over a thousand comments (I'm still living off that high because I'm fucking winning) so you're probably gonna see this asshole everywhere. He's a senior coppertale beater and pretty aggressive. He's also a terrible influence but he can be funny sometimes. He has this weird relationship with cricket where he appreciates her half the time and gives her shit the other half but he also hates people from wealth who act like they're from wealth (ironically he's very recently dating Rosy Stoker) in addition to brats who throw tantrums so dependent on how publicly Ulysses does any of that, Chris probably hates him.
AND ALSO Chris and Quinn started a hockey league called shinny that I don't have the link for but kas probably does so if Ulysses wants to take part in that just tell kas, their next game is January 22nd. I apologize for any possible typos

Quinn Cunningham (this journal) is my least relevant. Senior Azurcrest, Prefect, splits her time between working too much (distracting her in the library is not recommended), trying to break people's noses in sports, and partying more than she should. She's fairly sarcastic but isn't mean
most of the timeand Ulysses has probably met her no-nonsense Prefect side more than once.Kurt Wolfhart (

Nathaniel Bird - (dis guy) - Ebonhide senior prefect and ONE OF CRICKET'S BESTEST BUDDIES. They dated for like a hot minute back in Ilvermorny, now she's just his mom along with Maggie. He's like super non-confrontational and awkward and quiet. He spends most of his time studying. I don't even know what actual interaction he will have with Uly because
I never fucking play himhe's BUSY STUDYING but there's 0% chance they don't know each other.Riley Stamper - (

Saira Raza
Isaiah Covington
Gabi Flores
And finally and most importantly, Regan "Ree" Hobbs here, who is an Azurcrest sophomore and also Ulysses's cousin! She loves him even if he's being a neurotic brat, promise. She's an artist/party girl-turned-prefect/flirtatious mess who is compulsively honest but somehow manages to get along with most people? IDK but she's incredibly outgoing, flirts with all and sundry, gets into trouble without actually getting into trouble, and is a lot of fun. SHE WANTS FAMBLY TIMES.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER, RIGHT?
I have some character summaries here.
Obviously, the most important to Uly is Cameron!
Cameron grew up in Olympus too, and he went to elementary school with Cricket and Ulysses, so we've been playing Cameron as a sort of family friend. He and Cameron can have any sort of relationship you like though!
Re: BETTER LATE THAN NEVER, RIGHT?
ALSO LATE TO THE PARTY
This journal is Pippa Nightingale, a Ribbonfin sophomore and Hogwarts exchange student new to Gooseberry this year. She's a vegan and a pacifist and is on a so-far-unsuccessful mission to get herself a CUTE AMERICAN BOYFRIEND. This basically involves giggling and blushing around boys.
Henrietta Gray (
Coralee Wong (
And lastly, I have Irene Lovelace (
Re: ALSO LATE TO THE PARTY
- PIPPA IS SUPER CUTE idk how much she'll interact with ulysses going forward but im very much enjoying seeing her squeak on the ghost posts
- etta looks like boatloads of fun and probably gets on with ulysses pretty well, i'd say. he's less of a partier than her, but he does like impulsive good times, so they'll probably get into trouble a few times together, lol.
- coralee is a MONSTER :O jk lol she seems hilarious but ulysses is super easy to antagonise so he's probably an easy target for her
- and last but not least hello irene i'm sure ulysses is friendly with her if she gets on with horses and his sis, two things he very much likes lol
