HI THERE. My name is Jenny. I am absolutely a human and not a sentient neural network comprised of tumblr porn bots and smart refrigerators. I am freshly 31 and a professional intern wrangler and technology facilitator for physicians. I like cats, video games, making gifs and Sameer Gadhia's delicious voice, which is like the voice version of hair in a shampoo commercial.
I will be playing senior Ribbonfin meathead, Xavier Lewis. These creaky old bones are 8 years out of practice for online RP, so I appreciate your patience while I remember how to interact with other people. I AM REALLY EXCITED TO GET STARTED. Here are some KEWL FACTS about Xavier:
I will be playing senior Ribbonfin meathead, Xavier Lewis. These creaky old bones are 8 years out of practice for online RP, so I appreciate your patience while I remember how to interact with other people. I AM REALLY EXCITED TO GET STARTED. Here are some KEWL FACTS about Xavier:
+ Zav is a mathematical genius. He is...not so great at most other things. But, by golly, if you need some large integers quickly calculated by a human being instead of a calculator, he's your man.
+ He is in the following classes: Hermeticism, History of Magic, Potions, Transfiguration, Astronomy, Magical Rudiments, Animagus Studies (Pangolin), Independent Study - Arithmancy
+ He is in the following clubs: Quidditch (Reserve); Boating; LARP; Dueling & Fencing; Gaming
+ He is constantly sustaining serious injuries because he is clumsy, distracted and not just danger prone but, like, idk, consciously re-enacting that "Dumb Ways to Die" video from Australia's transit authority.
+ He is originally from Huntington, WV but currently resides in Long Island, NY. He has an Appalachian accent. If you listen to any of the MBMBAM podcasts, Justin is the most likely to swing into it.
+ His mother is the MACUSA representative for WVA and she is A SHARK. Figuratively. His dad is basically a wizard CPA. He has a little sister named Nisha and he is pretty sure he hasn't actually seen her face in 5 years because it is always glued to a phone screen.
+ He is always eating.
+ Personality-wise, Xavier would make a good stand in for Pauly Shore in an 80s teen movie. He is very nice, fun loving, eccentric, a bit of an airhead and easy to manipulate. A little bit of a doormat.
JUST SOME PLOT THOUGHTS:
+ Xavier gets some amount of tutoring in every class but Transmutation (and Animagus Studies), so if anyone is interested in being a tutor...TADA.
+ I mentioned in Xavier's history that he has "found himself in relationships" via having an inability to say no to people and then was immediately completely miserable so it probably fell apart within a week. Suuuper fun, I know. If anyone is interested, let me know.
+ Xavier has been campaigning since September for a "Senior Jorts Day" in the spring, where all the seniors wear the top halves of their uniform as normal but also wear jorts (preferably cut off with the pockets dangling out of course). He keeps calling it "The THIGHlight of the year."
OKAY I HAVE RAMBLED ENOUGH. I'M OUT.

Diego is a senior Azurcrest, who's a ditzy but very warm-hearted musician who just has a knack for making all his problems way worse than they need to be. Impulsive, overemotional, empathetic, intuitive. I'mmmmmm excited about Diego and Xavier being close buddies hopefully maybe? Diego and Zav have a lot in common (airheaded, social, a little quirky, not great judgement). I feel like they'll create a really great ("great") infinite loop of emotional validation and bad ideas.
I'LL COME BACK WITH MY OTHER 4 IN A BIT I JUST WAS EXCITED???

...like ok TO BE FAIR sometimes the IC/OOCs get really crowded or there's 10+ new posts in one day but none of these things hit 1000+ comments in one day USUALLY IT'S SLOWER THAN THIS
no subject
I would say that that is a definite yes on Diego and Zav being close pals. Infinite loop of emotional validation and bad ideas is perhaps the most correct possible way to put it. XD I look forward to all the terrible things they will talk each other into doing.

Rafael Ramirez (
Calvin Evercreech (
Mackenzie Prince (
Reid Wainwright (
no subject
Xavier loves all Ribbonfins even the ones who used to be bullies. He is probably just kind of like "AWW" at Calvin.
I could totally see Xavier being like *HOMER SIMPSON SCREAM* *HIDES IN NEAREST ROOM* every time he sees Mackenzie coming. Especially if they had like a 4 day "tryst" in the past and by "tryst" I mean Mackenzie jokingly came on to him and he said "Okay I guess???" and then promptly turned into a wooden plank. Zav is probably very intimidated by her. XD
And IDK if Reid and Xavier would interact much although I'm sure Xavier has tried to take advantage of Reid's being spiderman to enact one of his strange plots.

Ravinder Dhaliwal (

Sylvester Stoker (
Micah St. Clair (

UHM HELLO DADVINDER DADLIWAL Xavier is here to be your most disappointing son and he loves you very much. Based on the fact that they have so many overlapping clubs and classes and a shared history back to Ilvermorny I am sure they are good friends!! Ravi is exactly the sort of having-it-together person that Zav would look up to. Xavier probably tries to bring Ravi over to the dark side from time to time (the dark side being the side that does questionable things in the names of SCIENCE! and FUN!) although I am sure Ravi is always like "No Xavier slip n' slides should not have ramps, nor should they be indoors." HE CAN BE THE CHAOTIC SORCERER TO RAVI'S LAWFUL PALADIN.
Zav is probably terribly intimidated by Mina and would absolutely be an easy target for being steamrolled. The fact that she probably finds him distasteful makes it worse, so if she ever does seek him out for her own purposes he would fall over himself trying to at least make her not look at him with ANGRY DISGUST EYEBROWS. Mina if you ever need boxes schlepped, Zav is your man. I'm going to go ahead and check her off as a "no" on Senior Jorts Day. ALAS.
Sy is...yeah Zav probably tries to stay off of Sy's radar. Of course, Zav is not above stoking the fires of quidditch rivalry.
ROOFL OMG. If Micah asks Xavier to do something stupid for his movies Zav will absolutely be there with bells on.

AND WELCOME
i am kay and here are my three children:
Zoey Valentine (
then there's Laurel Templeton,
last is this journal, Jonathan Wilde, who xavier would know from dueling/fencing. anywayyy wilde is an aloof, pretentious dude w a competitive streak who likes to write ~secret poetry~ and do sick skateboard tricks/risk his life for the daredevil lulz. reserve keeper for the ebonhide team. hides insecurities under a prickly too-cool too-smart exterior, or at least that is his intention. is actually kind of a good friend if he likes you. so many dumb feelings.
no subject
Xavier loves his fellow fins so I am sure he and Z are pals. He can definitely relate to feeling pulled in multiple directions but if he tried to give voice to that it would probably come out not the right way at all so, HE IS ROOTING FOR YOU ON THE SIDELINES, GURL. He would absolutely be involved in study group.
I could see Laurel and Xavier having "dated" for a week as freshmen and then promptly drifted apart. Xavier would probably get along really well with Laurel, otherwise, I'm guessing!
I'm willing to bet that while Wilde and Xavier probably don't interact much outside of club, Xavier can definitely appreciate the need to be a daredevil.

So first and foremost, the most active character in this game and 90 percent the only character I play (which is how he got to be so active, I have no life but a massive neglect problem with every character but him; it's a real problem; ironically, he's not at this journal)
Is Christopher Park. He's a senior coppertale. Chris is like the personification of a grumpy cat meme. He was WAY grumpier when this game started but these fucking losers have just ... worn him down with compassion and feelings and they keep calling him nice now, it's a real problem.
He's a beater on the coppertale quidditch team (the coppertale quidditch team has lost every game they've played this year, and they're about to play the only team that's won every game this year, if you care about quidditch, you picked a great time to join), and is in duelling and fencing and larp and gaming and also four of Xavier's classes. So the thing about chris is that he's super prickly, but he's literally all bark and no bite, except for the people he don't like
And also the people he does like that like to be bitten.So I think he and Xavier should have this weird friendship, where Chris just lured them into a friendship one day in like freshman year, with tacos, and then too much time passed and it would be weird to stop being friends because they're already here so they're just friends now. Chris also does tutor, so he could help Zav with history of magic, potions and Herm.
no subject
So AT this journal is Solomon Webb. He's a sophomore Ebonhide. He's on the quidditch team as a chaser. He and xavier probably won't have a lot of overlap because of age and year, but Solomon does enjoy interacting with people, and he's a walking encyclopedia of useless shit, so he probably finds Xavier fascinating. He's also in literally every activity Xavier is, I'm pretty sure. I signed him up for nearly literally every group. I don't play this kid enough, it's depressing.
Then I have Olivia Sanchez, who's a junior coppertale. She's in a few of the same activities as Xavier, and she's also a prefect, so they might have more overlap. Olivia was raised in a family reliant on boxing. So she's pretty badass, but really as a prefect, she just wants to help people be their best self, so she's not like a super enforceful prefect. She likes to award points to people when they tell a clever joke tbh that's her highlight here.
And LAST I have Matteo Diaz, who is actually a ribbonfin and who I probably should've started with. He's a junior. He's also in some groups that Xavier is, I think. Matteo is a little weird. He's - okay like I just realized yesterday that Matteo is basically Professor Trelawney. A lot of the shit he says doesn't make sense; it's a lot of hippie bullshit. But he's super loving, and he embraces people for exactly who they are or who they want to be, even if they're actually assholes. So he probably loves Xavier. So they're not in the same year, but they could be bros. Teo could be bros with a park bench if I'm being completely honest. He could have quite a lovely conversation about whether matter is destroyed in the process of reincarnation or not with that park bench.
So that's what I have. And I'm open to literally anything. The weirder the better.
no subject
Matteo may bring out some slack jawed awe in Zav, who probably totally does not understand anything the kid says, but that's okay you do you my dude live long and prosper.

Ivy's also a senior Ribbonfin! She's also super academic and studies a lot so she'd make a good tutor (maybe for hermeticism? It's one of her strong subjects). She's also in some clubs with him (boating, dueling & fencing, gaming). She's pretty laid back and kind of a people pleaser at heart so she gets along with most people unless they're like, actively unpleasant towards her. She can be a little bit of a busybody but she's generally good people.
Reece (
Clementine
no subject
I'm sure he causes Reece plenty of headaches. XD Also, some of the MACUSA-affiliated kids may be aware of the rumor that Xavier is not at GB because he's a smarty pants but rather because he's an embarrassment to his family and this was as far out of the way as they could get him.
no subject
Ok first of all I literally just brought up Sameer the other day because in my head he's pretty much this loser character's singing voice so?????? I clearly also am in love with his voice I just want to listen to him all day wtf. I am literally listening to Young the Giant right now. So.
Now actual real person: I'm Rin! I'm a software developer! I too like cats and video games! And that gif is one of my favorite gifs of all time! :D
I haaave 3 peeps. This dude being the most relevant.
He's YOUR ROOMMATE, Asher Guthrie (
My other two are pretty much irrelevant to you mostly but whatever here they are.
Jaime Castillo (
Hazel Keating (
no subject
HECK YEAH FOR ROOMMATES. I am pretty stoked about coming in to a full cabin. Xavier can be weird about people talking to him about his future but he definitely appreciates Asher's support. Zav would totally participate in Ribbonfin karaoke or impromptu Ribbonfin dance parties. He would probably be great for Asher's goofy side but not so much when things get serious. ALSO, he would be SUPER SUPPORTIVE of the newsletter and may guest contribute articles forecasting like quidditch results using Arithmancy.
As for your other two, Zav is very friendly and has a reputation for being an oddball. He is probably passingly kind to both.
no subject
Yeah!! Welcome to the well-behaved cabin lolol. I'm so glad they'll have Zav to help mix things up a bit. But yes yes good, karaoke, dance parties, all the good stuff. Asher won't push the serious stuff most of the time but may occasionally be like: SO let's talk about impending real life. And any boosts to dorky Asher are greatly appreciated. ALSO NEWSLETTER STUFF!! I'm so pumped ♥
no subject
THIS ONE is Adeline Foster-Hayes, she's an Azurcrest Junior from Richmond VA . Her parents are each from really fancy families; her mom on the magic side, her dad on the muggle side, but Addy is the opposite of fancy. She loves Potions, parties, not listening to rules, adopting people who are probably perfectly capable of taking care of themselves, neon wardrobes, and textspeak on journals. She's very friendly and warm but she will totally yell at people if they need it. She will inevitably like Xavier a lot and talk at him even if it's annoying and not be sorry.
Then I have
My third is Ferdinand Ayers over at
no subject
Xavier is a MACUSA kid that has specifically been targeted by the press in the past because his mother used to drag him around and show him off for being "gifted" but then he kept struggling in school and acting out and became an embarrassment. This was generally at the local level and not huge news, so I'm betting Ferdinand's mom was way more interested in high level stuff, but Zav may still be a bit wary of him.
let's see if i can do this while very not sober. (ha ha i never can but i'll always try~~~)
HEY JENNY, I'M KAS! WELCOME~~~
the most relevant connection would be quinn cunningham! this journal! (the difficulty i had in typing her name should have told me that i should not be doing this now! lol! no chance! ok! carrying on!) she's an azurcrest in his year, in some of his classes, also quid reserve (SAD.) she's an academic overachiever who studies HARDCORE and WAY TOO MUCH, but also spends way too much time obsessing over athletics and partying. :| basically she has no off switch? idk. she's a serious prefect (parties excepted, they are sacred) and has a very sarcastic sense of humour that may be misinterpreted as being mean. :( but she isn't always mean, i promise. :( idek. this isn't helping. she's at goose on an ~academic scholarship~ so if he needed a tutor in hermeticism or astronomy she'd be there! (don't ask her to tutor you in potions, xavier, it's a b.a.d.i.d.e.a. -- also the name of my new hip hop group.)
also kurt wolfhart (
and finally, casey patterson! (
Re: let's see if i can do this while very not sober. (ha ha i never can but i'll always try~~~)
Xavier is probably just sort of 8O at Quinn and her ability to do all the things and keep going. He finds it a bit intimidating. I'm sure she has had to dole out some PREFECT JUSTICE to him in the past. I would love to have her tutor him in Hermeticism!
Considering both Kurt and Xavier have a history of being dragged to MACUSA events they don't want to attend, it is possible they have bonded from time to time when stuck at those sorts of things? Xavier would happily listen to Kurt talks about bugs and horses and stuff.
AND YES XAVIER WANTS TO BE IN YOUR GAME CASEY. HE WANTS TO LAUGH MANIACALLY WHILE DROPPING 28d6 FROM A FOOT OFF THE TABLE FOR A SINGLE SPELL. Oh yes the delicious sound of scattering plastic cubes.
no subject
hurray! tutoring it is! and don't worry xavier, the end result is probably a lot of stress, dealing with it in unhealthy ways, and crashing and burning. yay. :3
yes, that sounds rad! kurt's also close to xavier's senior fin tabitha for the same reason, so there's probably been a fair amount of chances for them to hang out on breaks due to Stupid Stuffy Events.
AWESOMEEEEEEE he takes that as a CHALLENGE!
no subject
Nathaniel Bird (
Riley Stamper (
Rosemary Stoker (
Robin Youngblood (
AND FINALLY Jefferson Key (THIS ONE) - is a sophomore Azurcrest Quidditch Chaser, and he's loud and excitable and just thinks seniors are so super cool. Like. So super cool. And he loves bad ideas. Do you have a bad idea? Jeffy is down for it. Or for watching it, IT JUST SEEMS SO COOL.
OK LOOK THAT IS ALL OF THEM WELCOME TO THE GAME & ALSO OUT OF ONLINE RP RETIREMENT, THIS IS EXCITING ♥
no subject
Xavier could totally do with some tutoring from Nathaniel. They are sort of opposites since Zav is more of a floaty "if it feels good, do it" kinda person so they may either balance each other out or drive each other crazy?
Zav is probably completely oblivious to Riley's being a mean girl.
Aaaand Xavier is ALWAYS LOOKING TO CORRUPT THE YOUTH INTO BAD IDEAS. WELCOME TO THE FOLD JEFFY.
no subject
YEAH, so, hello hello, welcome to this game. i'm cameron and i'm turning the new player baton over to you. also, fun fact, i'm a professional intern, so probably the kind of person who you wrangle on the semi-reg.
i only have one wee childe and it's ulysses quayle. he's an ebonhide junior and there's not tooooo much overlap, although both are in boating club and also ulysses is on the ebonhide quid team, so they might see each other out on the field. they probably do know each other, though, because ulysses's dad (and therefore big sis cricket's (
anyway, ulysses is a dumb baby who always trying to ~find himself~ and pretend he's cool and tough by doing ill-advised things and getting into shouting matches. he's a brat with Feelings, which is the worst kind, imo. luckily, he's pretty smart and sometimes entertaining and also look at that face! cute as a button. xavier and ulysses may or may not get along, lol.

This journal is Pippa Nightingale, a Ribbonfin sophomore and Hogwarts exchange student new to Gooseberry this September. 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 (
no subject
Pippa is adorable and Xavier will respond to any giggling and blushing with an awkward smile.
Xavier is very pleased to hear that Etta is on Team Jorts. He is not a heavy partier but will follow the crowd. They probably get along pretty well!
Xavier has probably learned to steer clear of Coralee at this point but I imagine he was a pretty easy target for manipulation in the past.
And lastly, Xavier is pretty big into (the number crunchy side of) LARP, so I'm sure he and Irene will have plenty of stuff to talk about!

A++++++ PB choice btw XD
