it's a bittersweet symphony, MR. DARCY.

[Prosper Darcy]

Mr. Prosper Darcy

friends.
because the average individual does not usually possess the patience to socially court a certain telekinetic arts teacher, it is safe to say that mr. darcy most likely will, in this field, be lacking in comparison to his peers. however, winning him over is certainly not as ‘‘impossible’’ as it may seem. people excelling in this area will probably be just as adamant as the man himself, if they don't surpass him. he particularly adores others of his own passions and attitude (by human nature; a social creature that seeks refuge with like individuals) - creative, old-fashioned, et cetera. anyone able to overlook his low tolerance level and blunt attitude are the most likely to succeed; and, once his companionship is attained, one may find just how loyal, affectionate, and pleasant he can really be. friends, after all, are family - loved to death, and granted the ability to get away with a lot more otherwise undesirables without too much fuss from him.[/font][/color]


enemies
in truth, despite his reputation for being rather ill when it comes to disposition, prosper is not actually as mean as others (and himself) make him out to be. quite the contrary, he is just trying to get by without too much discomfort - and the general population just happens to be one of his peeves. it is likely that he will not have many ‘‘true’’ enemies; however, this is not to say that he will never have them at all. if inflicted (mentally or physically) too severely, or repeat offenses are made, it's likely he'll openly flaunt his dislike, one way or another - from which mutual oppositions may be born.[/font][/color]



acquaintances
logically, mr. darcy may end up possessing these more than anything. when he hasn't known someone for long, and only sees them rarely, it isn't likely that he'll develop any specific affinity or dislike for them. in this case, and in their presence, he tends to be laid back and appears nonchalant, polite, or even pleasant ( no, he doesn't go around scowling 24/7). of course, in this case, the relationship can either teeter, or remain in the neutral. [/font][/color]



significant.
in this case, prosper is not a person who believes in excessive dating. he is entirely monogamous, a defender of the romantic notion that when someone really loves another, they will never fully lose that luster. he is completely devoted, affectionate, protective, et cetera. however, he also has the tendency to be possessive, and though not usually violent, a little iffy with obsession and manic habits. if someone were to really desire this position in his life, they would most likely be a long-time friend who knew how to deal with his faults.


he's a bit on the high-maintenance side to most; but in the end, it takes merely patience and social skill to worm into the casing he's surrounded his soul with.[/font][/color]

[Clarisse Prideaux]

I believe I have three characters who would mesh interestingly with Prosper.

The first is this lovely woman here, Clarisse Prideuax. Both experienced the cruelty of the French government in regards to Metahumans, and both spent time living in Paris. I have a feeling the terror they both experienced across the Atlantic would help them bond as friends and perhaps something more romantic in the future (despite a slight age gap).

The second is my other teacher, Morgan Tonaya. He is just...impossible to deter when it comes to friendship. Much like a puppy, that one. These two would probably remain acquaintances, as I can see Morgan's unending perkiness getting on Prosper's nerves a bit.

Finally I have a student named Alice Perette-Johnston who could use a creative outlet like Prosper's class. Her unique power gives her an interesting spin on the way the world looks, so photography would suit her very well.

I'd love to cook up a thread or plot idea with you sometime!

-Lynxie <3

[Prosper Darcy]

Woot, plottage! :3

...Aherm, SO! Here goes.[/color][/font]


Clarisse y Prosper ;;[/font]
this sounds perfectly logical to me. they've been through hardships, they've got things in common. i think because of her patient and serene attitude, prosper will most likely open up and be comfortable from the get-go. a probable relationship further than friendship sounds like something that could be worked for, too (psh, age differences ;] if it does happen, it's not that big a deal).[/font][/size]

Morgan y Prosper ;;[/font]
yes, his ‘‘perkiness’’ would most likely tend to get on pros' nerves; but generally, and contrary to popular belief, he isn't as much of a scrooge as others may think. while he may outwardly display annoyance, he might be amused and accepting of morgan's establishing himself in his social agenda. acquaintanceship may be all it could amount to, but as long as morgan isn't overbearing or obnoxious, chances are prosper will consider him just on the border of friendship, too. [/font][/size]

Alice y Prosper ;;[/font]
of course! a teacher is in need of pupils, after all. judging from her character, i think alice's eccentricities will serve well in helping to bring pros a little bit out of his shell; and he could provide that creative outlet class. [/font][/size]



Now that that's all cleared, I think I'll leave it to you to decide what you want to do, as far as posts/plots and such go.

Fwee!

x's && o's,

[Sidra Cotton]

Hey! Okay, so Sidra's my artsy chick, she could totally be a student. Not quite sure how they'd feel about each other, but she loves how he dresses. Even if it's toned down, she loves the military coats.

Honestly, art is probably the one subject she turns her work in on time for. Her sketchbook is filled with designs for the custom corsets she sells, and pencil drawings of her family (to which she'll never admit aloud to them).

Think you can work with that?

[Prosper Darcy]

Sidra y Prosper ;;[/font][/size]
chances are, pros will feel positive, passive, and laid-back when it comes to his students; so, unless she's a total delinquent, or otherwise disrespectful (around him, that is), i think they'll probably get along fine. he'll appreciate her artistic flare and ability to be responsible at least in his class. plus, like alice, she's eccentric, and could also assist him in crawling from the hole he's dug for himself. yeah, sounds like something i could definitely work with. :][/font][/size]

[Dr. Sean Neville]

I have Sean Neville to offer. He's the Hammel Institute psychiatrist and emotional jack of all trades. He's been with Hammel for twenty years, and depending on how stable Prosper was - considering everything that happened to him, I'd say perhaps not so stable - when he first arrived, he would have had sessions with Sean. If not, he's a coworker, and he's fairly easy to get along with: friendly, up for conversation but usually not crowding; he had a hard time with his powers back in the day (he's in his early fifties now) and so he's sympathetic with other people. He also likes to throw block parties and barbecues in the summer.

[Prosper Darcy]

Sean y Prosper ;;[/font][/size]
prosper was not stable at all when he came to hammel. he was fairly animalistic in his anger, much less composed than he is now, and just an emotional wreck. so, if he has had sessions with sean, their terms of a relationship might be a touchy subject. perhaps sean assisted in reforming him, but he's far from ‘‘cured,’’ and it's likely that, although he respects mr. neville, he doesn't necessarily want a close friendship. considering he is a psychiatrist, which is close enough to a therapist in his opinion, prosper would feel awkward regarding him as a companion. he wouldn't be antagonistic, though. acquaintances, most likely. perhaps sean could even be, to prosper, the sort of distant and intimidating father figure, despite his sympathetic and easy nature.[/font][/size]

[Dr. Sean Neville]

That sounds good to me. If I were in Prosper's position and had to be "reformed" by Sean, I wouldn't want to be close friends with him either. Sean does have a paternal side with his patients, so I can see a sort of distant father-ish figure relationship.

Depending on how well he's doing, Sean might want to check in with him on occasion.

[Dr. James Campbell]

Noor&Prosper
Noor is another student, and a little bit younger than Alice or Sidra. She isn't particularly artistic, but she would try her hardest in his class. However, she would probably start goofing off and making her camera sentient. (Her power is Animation, and she can give sentience to inanimate objects for a short time.) Undoubtedly, the pictures from her camera will be better than the ones she takes on her own, but perhaps that debate is best left for their class?

I have more characters, but I'm having a hard time thinking of plots for them at the moment, as I really should be going to bed soon. If I come up with any, I'll add them.

[Prosper Darcy]

Noor y Prosper ;;[/font]
sounds like a plan. prosper's getting a good gathering of students now, i see. if noor does any extreme goofing, it might hurt her a bit as far as the class goes; but, as said before, he's understandably more lenient on kids concerning what they can get away with. as long as she gets her work done, it should all go smoothly.[/font][/size]

[Evangeline Covington]

PROSPER & EVIE
Oh I think these two would get along famously. They're both the same age, they both teach art, which could/could have been a good way to introduce them to each other. I don't have any specific plots in mind, but the two of them are alike in many ways. I just couldn't resist. =P Do you have any ideas? :]

[Jared Park]

*poofs in*

Huzzah Noelle. Jam here. :3

Mr. Darcy&Zac
While I don’t see Zac signing up for photography anytime soon, he might be surprised to find that class in his schedule as his ‘nanny’ has a habit of pulling pranks at him by signing him up for elective classes that is far from his interest. He does have a bit of an attitude and if he does happen to stumble into Mr. Darcy’s photography class, he might be a handful, seeing that he’d rather be in front of the lens than behind it.

Come to think of it, I think Zachie might just drop in on Mr. Darcy’s class. *shifty eyes*

- Jam

[Prosper Darcy]

Zach y Prosper[/font][/size]
<chortle> have at it, jam. ;] i think it'll be amusing to see what happens here. eye twitch moments, for sure. and in that case, maybe darcy'll be a smartass and assign zach as just one of the models... or, a tripod. who knows? bahaha.[/font]

[Prosper Darcy]

Evie y Prosper[/font][/size]
Oh wow, they are very alike! Well, if I may say so myself, I fancy they could get to become close friends. Darcy doesn't distinguish between ‘‘best’’ friends and ‘‘regular’’ friends, because to him each one is close to him - so, as far as he'd be concerned, she'd be among the little cluster he has comfortably situated. Since she's easy going, yet stubborn and loyal, I see no room for any turbulence... Not sure about romance - I don't plot things like that ahead, really. It just happens for my characters, depending on if the other person likes the idea, or has their character show further interest. <shrug> Yeah! Get in touch if you're wanting to start a thread, have another idea, or something. I'm game. absolutely. :3[/font][/size]

[Evangeline Covington]

PROSPER & EVIE
Excellent! n__n Why don't we have a thread for them somewhere? Any ideas where you would like to set it? I was thinking maybe the staff lounge for an introduction thread? Up to you. :]
