<span class="bbc_u"><strong>Finished Character Profile:</strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Name: </strong>Marianne Hall<br/><strong>Concept:</strong>Unlikely survivor<br/><strong>Age: </strong>17<br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Female<br/><strong>Powers/skills/abilities: </strong>Marianne was never good at sports or her studies.  She possesses an unusual recollection of 'pointless' facts, and is impressively cunning for her age.  Marianne can also arrange a mean bouquet!<br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>(http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp342/1Clutz94/Anime%20School/school-girl.jpg)<br/><strong>Background:</strong>Marianne was born as the fifth and last daughter to her hardworking parents.  Due to most of the families finances being expended toward her four sisters, not a great deal of capital went toward Marianne and thus, she never became involved in extra-curricular activities or other personal avenues of enrichment.  Compared to her older sisters, most of which were now business women, medical professionals, or legal representatives, Marianna showed little promise and was much more likely to live a common life of typical labor like her parents.  The teen never let such things get her down, however, and despite not having the same chances as her older sisters, she was still happy to simply try her best and walk her own path.  This was often easier said than done, however.  In school her grades, despite her best efforts were merely average, and in physical education she certainly wasn't a force to be reckoned with.  Clumsy and even a bit absent minded, she spent a great deal of her time watching the History and Nature channels, and has picked up a surprising amount of information that most consider 'meaningless'.<br/><br/>Now, at seventeen, she prepares to graduate from her high school and jump into the world as best she can.  To this end, she managed to pick up a part time job at a small flower shop, being the only employee beyond the elderly owner.  As her parents didn't have the money left over to help her purchase a car, she still relies on her old bicycle to get her from place to place, and walks when the wizened piece of scrap metal breaks down.  To this end she has maintained a decent physique.<br/><br/><strong>Motivation/aims:</strong>Before the invasion, figure out what she wants to do with her life.  After the invasion, figure out how to make it until the next sunrise.<br/><br/>Character creation questions: Feel free to go into as much detail as you like.<br/><strong>1,</strong>Where was your character born? (What part of the city of Babylon?)  Marianne was born to the lower income section of Babylon.  As all of her sisters have since moved out either to college or due to purchasing their own places, the previously crammed house is now much more airy and open, only possessing her and her parents.<br/><br/><strong>2,</strong>What is your character’s main motivation?  Marianne isn't good at a great many things, and she knows it.  Her parents have constantly apologized for being unable to fund her College as they did with her sisters.  To this end, she wants desperately to understand exactly what her place in life is.  She often talks about walking her own path, but being young it is still cloudy exactly what that is.<br/><br/><strong>3,</strong>What is your character’s greatest strength? Greatest weakness?  Marianne doesn't know it, but she has a highly receptive memory.  Although it is not quiet eidetic, but she is extremely competent at remembering information.  The reason for her barely passing grades hinges on her overall laziness toward school in general, which is one of her largest weaknesses.  Marianne would much rather learn about topics she has an interest in, such as science and history.  Even though she takes science and history in school, the topics discussed in class are often not what she has an active interest in, and thus her attempts to learn the information are minimal.<br/><br/><strong>4,</strong>What is your character’s greatest hope? Greatest fear?  Her greatest hope is to make herself and her parents proud.  Her greatest fear is becoming a total letdown, and never truly finding anything in life that makes her happy.<br/><br/><strong>5,</strong>What are your character’s favourite and least favourite things/possessions?  Her favorite<strong>and</strong>least favorite thing is her bicycle.  When it's in working order, it highly cuts down on her travel time.  When it doesn't work, she curses it's existence as a piece of useless scrap metal.<br/><br/><strong>6, </strong>What about your character’s emotions? Is there anything that ‘pushes his/her buttons?’  Marianne is very much a typical high school girl.  She likes boys and shopping, although she often doesn't have enough money to do the latter.  Though a bit flighty and absent minded, she has an uncanny knack for reciting pointless facts, causing most of her friends to somewhat playfully mention how she should try out for Jeopardy.  Fairly kind and caring, she has a soft spot for plants and animals.  Marianne recognizes both her situation and her frailties, and although she stands out in no real fashion, she still has a great deal of pride in herself.  Thus, those that insult her directly cause her the most distress.<br/><br/><strong>7,</strong>Is your character aware of the demonic in the world? If so, why?  Not at all.  Ignorance is bliss.<br/><br/><strong>8,</strong>If you could, what advice would you give your character?  Take care of yourself first, then worry about others.<br/><br/><strong>9,</strong>What is your character’s sexual orientation and sexual proclivities?  Bi curious.  She has never done anything with a female, but has fantasized about it.<br/><strong><br/>10,</strong>If your character had one wish, what would he/she wish for? (Pre demon invasion)  Spontaneously become amazing at something,<em>anything</em>, so that she could follow in her sisters footsteps and be highly recognized for her abilities.
