Awnser = 58
My completed SU. I know the sample was supposed to be for this thingie, but it's faster if I just spit out something I have. It's from a little excercise I did with my pair. The stuff in spoilers is Mira's share. One segment seemed too short so I put in two.
I hope the SU is alright @-@ Just tell me if there's anything to change around. The last paragraph of the history is pretty different too.
Name: Daniel Catrone (Will be refered to as Danny, but can go by anything at each character's discretion.)
Birthdate: August 19th
Gender: Male
Personality: Danny quite frankly is a bit of a loner, although, he does it in his own way. He isolates himself from others by being a coward, a braggart, and a prankster. Rather than being serious in a given instance, he'll most likely laugh it off and run away. It's not a big problem, so why should he get involved? Danny's aloofness also serves to protect his heart. After losing everything, he doesn't want to get close to people so he can lose it all over again.
Danny does, however, have a weakness for damsels in distress. If the situation is dire enough, he may get serious. Especially if it touches one of his soft spots. Once readied, he's no longer as unreliable and actually tries for a change. Danny will eagerly help whomever he has to with a smile on his face. One of the most noticeable triggers of this change is when the event involves water. He has lost a family member to the ocean and nearly drowned himself. Danny doesn't trust anyone, but himself to deal with water because they might end up hurt.
Overall, Danny takes his past quite seriously. He may snap if it is aggravated too much. Although usually too goofy, he may become violent when given enough stress.
History: Danny was adopted by a modest family that lived on the outskirts of Sunnyshore, Sinnoh. The family consisted of a mother who stayed at home to look after the children, a father who left every day to work in the city, and their biological son who was two years older than him and suffered from birth defects. Although the parents legitimately loved both of them equally, their biological son's ailments forced them to coddle him more than Danny. This is something that he has always been jealous of and is why he spent most of his younger years being a brat who begs for other people's attention.
The summer of his seventh birthday was when he recieved his near-death experience. The entire family took a day trip to the beaches around the City. When his older brother had a fit of violent coughing and Danny was no longer a center of attention, he swam far out into the ocean and pleaded for everyone to praise him on how far he had swam. A vicious wave swept him under and he nearly drowned. When Danny recovered, he cursed his luck and wished that it was his brother who had been in his place instead.
Danny's life at home became progressively worse for him. Now that he was older and more able, he had to help take care of his brother. Danny hated watching over him and would often forget to feed him, bathe him, and clean him. His parents frequently yelled at him for his lack of love and Danny increased the distance between himself and his family. Soon he was out hanging with his school friends more than with his family. Danny enjoyed his school life and became a bit of a social butterfly
When his brother's sixteenth birthday occured, Danny was at the mall with his best friend. His brother, mother, and father had all gone down to the beach to celebrate. His brother's innertube had a leak and it was impossible for either his mom or his dad to rescue him as he was too far away. His brother's death crushed him and he regretted having wished his brother dead. The remaining four years of Danny's life were spent reforming. He boldy declared his life's purpose as to live on for his brother and he mellowed out around his family. For once he recieved the attention he desired and he was closer than ever to his family. Danny also picked up a few volunteer jobs and actively participated in neighbor hood events. It was a shame that it had all been trashed on his 18th birthday.
While participating in a school-related carwash, Danny coughed up bubbles. At first it was just shrugged off as something from the soap, but after the third time it was confirmed. Danny wasn't a normal human and his parents feared the discovery of his secret. After the war, Sunnyshore had become a major port and soldiers flooded the city. What if they got word of the mysterious bubble boy? So as part of their agreement, they told Danny about his birth. They also planned to have him escape by going along the beaches. His guardian spirit could help him along the way they assured him, but Danny was still terrified. He could no longer see his friends nor family and he questioned his purpose of "living for his brother." After being forced out on his own, Danny reverted back to his former self.
Appearance: Danny stands well below the average height at 5'2" with a petite and muscle-free build. His black hair is combed forward with a few spikes in the front and a blue stripe that runs down the middle and matches his eyes. His skin is moderately tan from the days spent on the beach and he has a few pimples on the left-hand corner of his face and a small scratch on his nose.
Danny's attire consists of what's light and what's needed; he wears a thin grey hoodie over a blue t-shirt and black gym shorts. In response to his water-related abilities, he also carries rain poncho and his gym shorts may double as swim trunks. Danny also wears nice and loose flip-flops of which he has gained some mastery over after a few years of experience. As far as accessories are concerned, he prefers to not wear any as they might drag him down. He does, however, own a small pack of which contains mostly snacks and a Frogger keychain.
Pokemon Spirit: Politoed
RP Sample: A tree. A bush. Ooo, two bushes. A stream?
Justin was curiously examining his surroundings for anything with shape. The flatness and the grass disturbed him. It almost felt unnatural. His eyes ran up the stream, eager to escape the flatness. He became fixed on the many curves of the river.
Up. Down. Up. Down. Up. Girl. Down... Up... Girl?!
His eyes returned to the girl. Yes, it was indeed a human girl. He looked her over. She sure was pretty, but then again Justin was at the age when most males rediscovered girls. His heart thumped (or at least he convinced himself that it did), his cheeks reddened slightly, and his body warmed up.
"How are you doing?" he mouthed out. A hand clawed out to her despite the obvious distance and he found himself waving awkwardly.
I hope she comes over here. I really hope that she does.
Justin clutched where she had kicked him. Tears swelled in his eyes. He looked up and stared at her."M-m-meanie!" He flapped his arms wildly for a while before completely understanding what she had said. He paused in thought.
She doesn't know? I don't know? Neither of us knows? Then does that mean that we're lost or in danger or something? He glanced around, looking for anything that might be familiar. His eyes wandered up and down the river and then, after turning around, all across the plains. There really wasn't anything familiar at all. He turned back to face her. Tears began swelling again. He sniffed obnoxiously, hoping that it'd stop the tears from falling. He was a man so he needed to be tough even if he hadn't really ever been on his own like this except when he was leaving home to catch the bus. He suddenly regretted having to need to go to school.
But, still Justin couldn't help but be afraid of this woman (he dubbed her that sometime after the kick). She was terrifying and mean. He opened his mouth to speak, but hesitated. At last the words squeaked out of his mouth. "You don't know?"
Please don't kick me.
