APPLICATION

WANTS & LIMITS

The Basics:
•blind
•terrible wardrobe/sense of fashion
•amateur sleuth
•naive
•overly optimistic

Friends:
Olive longs for friends, but being home schooled up until Hammel means this is her first real chance at making some. She’s trying a little too hard and is definitely an acquired taste.

Lovers:
Hah. No. Olive has zero experience with guys. She only knows about dating from what she’s read in books, so the day she gets to go on a real one, it’ll be a disaster, a very entertaining disaster. She’s had plenty of crushes before but nothing beyond that, despite now being 23. Hopefully she’ll find someone to change that.

Enemies:
It would take a special kind of person to make an enemy with a blind girl, but I hope they’re out there. Olive has some one sided rivalries, usually with arrogant dudes who think they can pick on her, but even those hardly count as enemies. She’s a bit too pitiful for them I guess.

Writing Sample:
“What should we wear today? The radio said it’s going to get chilly tonight, so maybe a sweater?” Olive stretched out her hand until she felt her guide dog nuzzle against it. She didn’t know what she would do without Mr. Darcy. Besides helping her navigate traffic, run errands and get to school, he was also a very good judge of fashion. “This one, or maybe… this?”

She held up two of her favorites, both were soft and oversized and when she wore them she felt like she was bundled up in a warm blanket, though unbeknownst to her, they were both hideous. One had a giant light up Christmas tree on it, and the other was embroidered were a variety of curse words (which of course no one ever pointed out). Mr. Darcy tugged on the Christmas tree sweater.

“Good choice, I’ll keep it in my bag for later.” Olive slipped on a neon velvet polka dot sundress she found at the thrift store, as well as some tights that had turtles printed across them, before grabbing her things and heading out the door. In one hand she held onto Mr. Darcy’s leash, and in the other she clutched her white came. Today was going to be fun, she had a good feeling about it, or was that just indigestion?

Notes

I love plotting, so if you're struggling with an idea, don't worry, I've got us covered. Most of my plots tend to fall into either Goofy/Adorkable, Dramatic Character Development, or Dark/Spooky categories.

I'm also happy to rp with just about anyone, but I probably won't have time to do a toooon of threads at once so if I don't respond to you right away, don't feel shunned, I'm probably just waiting for one to finish up first.

As of right now I just have Scout, and she's most likely to plot well with a strong personality. I like a bit of conflict and resolution to my threads so if our characters are too similar I might pass until I get another one created.

[Dr. Sean Neville]

Pep, welcome to Hammel! As promised, I would love a thread with Olive.

In terms of what I have to offer, I only play one character: Sean Neville, the Hammel psychiatrist. He's 57 (he just had a birthday), he's a telepath, he's been in Pilot Ridge for 24 years, and he loves to spend time with former students once they've graduated so that they can have a more even relationship.

As for thread ideas, Sean is a somewhat serious character but I am a somewhat ridiculous person, so I am happy to do lots of potential plots. I shall think on it, and talk with you, but I wanted to stake a claim.

[Olive Delaney]

I'm sure you have a ton of threads going on right now since you just play one character. haha, so don't feel the need to stretch yourself on my account.

I can totally see her visiting him at really awkward moments to ask for advice, not understanding that he's not her psychiatrist anymore. Like he's out having dinner and she just sits down across from him and starts asking for his advice on boys, then proceed to eat part of his dessert and leave.

[Dr. Sean Neville]

Pep, I'm in the middle of closing some threads to make room for more threads (I closed one yesterday and hope to close two or three today because I am on a roll).

That said, your idea is hilarious. He eats out a lot, and so that is completely possible.

Also, we are in the middle of our Time Warp event until August 31, so if you wanted to do a thread that took place when she was still a student, this, too, is possible.

[Caelum Mitchellson]

Hey there Pep! Just your friendly neighborhood Jonnay here to throw some plots at ya! I'm absolutely terrible with plots, so I hope ya don't mind.

Olive is around the same age as three of my boys, so I figured I'd toss them out there first.

Henri & Olive: Okay, so Henri is a little rough around the edges for a lot of reasons, but they are the same age. I'm guessing they may have known each other in Hammel and may have even been friends. I'm actually thinking that Olive may have been one of those friends that Henri actually felt bad for pushing away. (he pushed everyone away) So there's that.


Geist & Olive: She's 3 years older than him, but Olive definitely seems the type of person that Geist would have been around in school. He's the type that would have carried her books and stuff, cause that's just how younger Geist was. Like Henri, he left after school, but just because he wanted to travel. He would have kept in touch with Olive though. So any ideas there? ((like i said..bad with plots...sorry))

Caelum & Olive: Though Caelum isn't her type for one reason, he loves to make people laugh and always smells like a warm breeze. He's another one that probably knew her from Hammel and they go to the same college. She's probably the one person he would never pull a prank on, laugh and joke with her, yes; but never prank. Caelum goes out of his way to make people happy, I'm sure Olive would be no exception to that. 

um...any thoughts or ideas you have, feel free to shoot them my way!

Hello! I'm so sorry this is such a late reply, I honestly did not see there was a post on my tracker! D: But as for Michael and Olive threads, I think they'd have quite a unique friendship! I would definitely like to check it out!

Cheers
