  • Anyone else wear glasses?

    [justify][font=Georgia]I first got glasses back in 2010, when I was in Grade 3. I had them until near the end of 2011 when I didn't need them anymore and they gave me headaches more than they helped me with my eyesight. So I haven't worn them for a fair while as I don't need them anymore.

  • do you use the blog?

    [justify][font=Georgia]I've only just had the chance to have a look at it to be honest, but from what I can see it looks like a great feature. I'll probably use it like people make audio diaries for their characters in the writing forum section of the site.

  • Anyone else's teacher do this?

    [justify][font=Georgia]This only happened to me during my primary school years, my English teacher at the high school has much more sense. Apparently she's meant to be teaching us to write like that but she doesn't like it anymore than the rest of us do so she teaches us to write something easy and lovely to read; not something horrible and junky looking with too many adjectives.

  • Anyone else's teacher do this?

    [justify][font=Georgia]I like adjectives but I think putting too many adjectives in, like three in a row to describe one thing, isn't my kind of thing. For example "The boiling, burning, sweltering sun was high in the blue, cloudless and empty sky."

  • what attracts/draws you away from the elite?

    [justify][font=Georgia]Honestly I'm going to have to agree with most of the others; the Elite seems a fair bit clique-ish, more than what I like in clans I roleplay in. Also they seem really fast paced and their super anti-clan ways can be a bit off putting for some roleplayers. But that's just me personally.

    Full name: Strings of the Marionette Primus
    Known as: Marionette Primus
    Nicknamed: Mari


    Gender: Female
    Sexuality: Bisexual


    Personality: [i]A quiet, well mannered rule follower.
    You stated in the rules for this adoption that these cubs would not be r.pists, kit machines or some psycho killer and that they'd be raised a lot better than that. Well little Marionette definitely was raised to be a hell of a lot better than anything like that, in fact she's quite the little angel. Softly spoken, well mannered and great at following order and rules she's literally like a marionette puppet. With that being said we should take little bit of a closer look at what makes up Mari's personality and her beliefs.


    Like I have said in the small paragraph above Strings of the Marionette is a little bit quiet, actually she's really quiet. Not being one to make a ruckus about simple things or join into many loud or rough games Mari is much more the type of person to watch. In fact she happens to be very observant, picking up on things that most others wouldn't even take a second glance at. Like the way the warriors position the prey in their mouths, not wanting to tear into it with their sharp teeth; or even the way that the healers hold their herbs. But her observant and quiet ways have a very simple explanation, she has somewhat of a stutter when she speaks and can be a little shy. Although the stutter doesn't happen all the time, because she manages to concentrate and push it down, the shy lioness still is aware of the fact that it's there.


    Manners are something of high importance when it comes to what makes her tick; with that said it's obvious that she loves people with manners. Or maybe she just loves manners because she herself happens to have manners and you wouldn't call Mari vain or pompous. As a young cub, and during most of her to-be times, she'll refer to people around her as miss or mister. Although she does it out of respect it wouldn't be surprising if it's a habit that one day people get out of her system due to the fact that it does get a little bit annoying. But outside of calling people by miss or mister she is always saying "please" and "thank you" to go with it. Even without these things she makes an effort to do at least one random act of kindness each day, making her one of the most selfless people around these days.


    Going hand in hand with her polite ways is her habit for always following the rules and orders that she gets given. With her dad being a high position and well respected member of the tribe she dreams to be just like him, someone other people can look up to even if it isn't in the same position as him. Looking up to the high positions she practically worships the very ground they work on, especially her dad and the tribe leaders. Through sharp hearing her observant ways she finds out a fair lot and is always up to date with whatever is happening in the tribe, although she doesn't gossip because she knows it's a horrid habit to have.


    When it comes to love Strings of the Marionette is actually bisexual; believing that there should be no barriers when it comes to love. Not age, race and especially not gender. Whens she falls in love it doesn't happen in stages and she doesn't love lightly, instead she falls in love in the extremes and all at once. Making it all the more disappointing when she gets her heartbroken, which doesn't happen all too often actually as she's not one to flirt and toy with emotions of others. But it still happens just like it does with any other person, whether they be male or female.


    Put this all together and you have practically all the important things that create the personality belonging to Mari!


    Appearance: A long legged white/palish lioness with blue eyes
    Like every other brother or sister that Marionette gets she belongs to a species called the lion, scientifically named Panthera leo as part of the big cat family. But if you want to be exact you wouldn't call Marionette a lion, because that means she'd be a male; you would call her a lioness. But enough on what you'd call her, let's get down to how you would describe her!


    To start off with let's go to her structure and basic body frame/build of the body. Like any lioness she's built to run, to hunt and climb with great speed and efficiency. Her head sits upon a pair of slightly broadened shoulders, although nowhere near as stocky looking or broad as that of a proper lion. Extending from these shoulders, and her hips at the back, are long and leanly muscular looking legs. These would be great for running, which they are, and have large paws attached to the ends of them; which have sharp ebony claws on them. Her main figure isn't fat or rotund in the slightest, instead it is skinny, long and willowy, giving her a certain type of grace that is lost during her time as a young cub.


    Apart from these things there's a few other defining features in Strings of the Marionette's appearance that we haven't quite gotten to. For example there's the colour and texture of her fur, that we shall get to right about now actually! Mari's fur is what some people would call "white" when it comes to the lion species, but in reality it isn't white in all. In fact it's just a paler version of the usual tan-like colour of the lion, which is quite obvious when one gets up close to her. Although she may appear white at first she's actually more a grey colour, little bits of tan highlights showing up throughout her fur though. This fur we're speaking of isn't of a very long length, in fact it's actually quite short; although it does it's job well. If you were to reach out and run your hand across the expanse of fur that covers Mari's large body you'd realize that it isn't silky smooth, not that it looks like it. In reality it's slightly brittle feeling and is very thick, covering her already thick skin.


    Apart from these main defining features there's a few other things that make up Marionette's appearance. For example her oculars aren't a blue like one might expect for a "white" lion; instead they're actually a deep chocolate brown, mocha coloured one might say. These eyes are wide and almond shaped and are rimmed with black, making them stand out against her fur. Like most creatures she does have ears, although hers aren't as pointed or straight standing as that of a regular feline. They're a bit more rounded and stand on a little bit of a lean, not to mention the fact that they're fluffy with tufts of fur on them. A long and curved tail streams out behind her and ends like a little hook with a large tuft of fur at the bottom, almost like that of a cow one might say.


    Putting all this together you have the creature that is Mari.


    Comments:
    ❋ BEEP BOOP. Sorry but that reminds me of a robot.
    ❋ Good luck to any other applicant who happens to be reading this.
    ❋ This application is completed.
    Plot ideas:
    ❋ Love. As she's raised to be better than r.pists or to be better than to have a one night stand the lioness will end up with a lovely lion. This shall be a relationship made only of truelove, although as she's bisexual she may just end up with a lioness... or someone that isn't a lion at all! Only time can tell.
    ❋ Promotions. I know it's not something that I can count upon happening and there's no way to make it happen either. But as she looks up to the high positions and wants to be just like her father I'd really like to keep her activity up to a high enough standard to have her promoted one day.
    ❋ Honestly I don't like preplanning all my plots very much. Partly because you never know who she'll meet and because plots and her life can change/be affected by things so easy I prefer to make plots as I go along.

  • How HPR is 'highly/majorly' HPR?

    [justify][font=Georgia]Honestly the first time I had a look at the site I really wanted to have a HPR character and I thought that having such relations would be amazing. But now you take a closer look and because of the amount of r.pists, r.pe litters with HPR cats, and even numerous other litters, there's just so many around. I mean a fair amount of people on the site have, or have had, a HPR cat, right? Awhile ago it might have been amazing and something big to have a HPR cat but now, when practically every adoption thread is HPR, it's not a very big deal.


    I'm not necessarily sure what most people would count as major HPR but I think having the classic relations that all HPR cats have now isn't enough. But then again when you go into an adoption and you look at the HPR's they've copy and pasted it seems a bit odd. So when I had a look at a few and really studied the relations half of them weren't related to the Cougareyes tree, or the Sabretooth/star one. And even if they were they'd be like 9,007304th cousins ten times removed or something to anyone who's actually closely related to either of these trees. The relations listed are so distant that in real life I doubt we'd even count it as being related to be honest. To me being a highly HPR cat I compare it to real life. If their relation to these cats is so distant that no one would count it as a relation or bother about it in real life than it isn't a highly HPR cat.

  • ADD-A-WORD! A FUN GAME - PLEASE PLAY!

    [justify][font=Georgia]Gray grass dew ate a very large hippo and fries with sprite and ice that froze because it was good water and amazing cats screeched for stuff because it was amazing because who guessed that pigs were cool and hot like chili that was radical, but giraffes didn't explode into chocolate showers that made a sonic the coolest in the cool of rick roll because of the teenage girls danced to the tune. What could be the cause of the dramatic fat guy running like a happy hippopotamus family was eating perfume that smelled beautiful like roses after a shower so much magical coldness rainbows in cats that ate pigs who farted out cheese and lemons spontaneously whilst kicking **** that was exploding pancakes everywhere but mud crackers ate donuts full of darkness pie shining straight at panda's that juggled gumballs filled with cheese doodles and onigiri. Tomatoes are are awesome, but would they defeat the POTATO! So Mr. Doodles decided his zebra George should climb a cloud that was made to sing while dancing break dancy-like and saying "MUFFINS!" while dancing excitedly like gorillas eating mad Jamaicans that juggled kitties heads like custard donuts' pillows on Christmas spaceships singing like Hannah Montana at treadmill wonderland eating pineapples' laptops and biting like Nicki Minaj on a trampoline. Afterwards the unicorn ate Nicki Minaj, Justin Beiber, Harry Styles and Taylor Swift. Bugs danced casually. Children fell screaming EVILLY while knifing random Mockingjays sadly because Hollyleaf evolved enough to actually transform into PIE which awkwardly rehearsed her butter because there was a Brokenstar who ate a Graystripe elephant fart that tasted mangoes because she loved mochi covered dove wings screaming like JB stuck in unicorns, rainbows and jelly because fluffy kitty hated RAINBOWS so she ran into portals stabbing blahgababadups and kissing RAINBOWMUSTACHEDUNICORORNS weirdly because Nanners was AMAZEBALLLLLLLLLLLLLLZ <3 and peri like PIE heaps awesomeness, Slyfoxness ate poptarts excitedly while watching TV and playing Black Ops with Tigerstar at California rental unicorns and pie faces that squealed because wolves cooked hotdogs at midnight hate of POOPNUGGETS made stuff out of Cucumbers that danced while talking.... "Yuck, Popular pies conga bump" because Ty's puppy pee'd on a rhino. More magical Pies danced majestically while camping outside in Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis land inside a pill made of pancakes dusted with FairyPie glitter and syrup. Justin didn't answer the phone, because he was jumping on taco enchiladas made with sundrops and purple beef which had mold on it with sushi-with-kimchi and fluffy pillows making candy farts because of magical fairies and pixies who danced happily and nommed milkshakes and fries and played happy ever after and giggled and sang 'The Wild Child' whilst juggling grapefruit smoothies during THE RAINBOW GUMMY BEAR APOCALYPSE! Singing 'Pontoon' and naming everything Bob so that Nyan cat died. Later Neon Pikachu walked AND DIED A HORRIBLY DRAWN DEATH, into Narnia! like a boss While SNEEZING OUT HIS BRAINS! Luke Skywalker SHOWED UP AND KILLED HIMSELF WITH A LIGHTSABER! WHICH was juggling chainsaws awesomely. SO PIKACHU CAME BACK TO LIFE with A CHEESEBURGER, AND CHOKED ON IT AND DIED. GEORGE LOPEZ WAS SWAGGIN AROUND WHEN A NOODLE exploded. So George Lopez went to the hospital and died because he was too awesome to live. Sloth GOT VICIOUSLY EATEN BY AN ANTEATER and was then intercepted nto the world of cookies where a bunch of 13 year old whales were having a party and stuff happened. Wait why are we talking like this only now. Said the inanimate object in a potato's head. But none of this ever happened because potatoes don't have heads. Potatoes are dumb especially while Lisa Simpson farted cupcakes with strawberry frosting. Peter Pan flew across pale unicorns. Wolves breathed candy fire that killed my potato. Crying Pegasus poop caused avalanches too rumble turbulently. Dragons ate ice-cream while pomegranate man flew epiclly towards tiny dolphins. Yesterday balloons chewed bubblegum and ate squirrels that manned lions on zoos with ice-cream sandwiches that flew on hummingbirds so puppies could play catch and looked weirdly like Billy Mays and Micheal Jackson. Charlie Brown used PK.THUNDER and died. Ariana Grande was eating Selena Gomez while planking. Unicorns surfed fiery lava tacos while eating #jinksy.PEWDIEPIE farted while cursing MoMo apple pie with Wildfur, Tobuscus then killed Nightcloud while I was screaming "YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS! NIGHTCLOUD ISSS DEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAD!" We prayed to Artemis while singing #swiftywashere because she's cool, the hunterss of the moon is obviously cool because she is a maiden UNICORNWAZHERE when swift said please stop doing what i'm doing it's annoying so actually do what you want it's technically one word i'll just delete them after unicorn replies great because I wasn't copying and copying is overrated, but I'm tired and merry christmas! Daleks are swaggy not though. Potatoes sing Constantly in quire and cannibalize stupid detective Sherlock. Why would Hollyleaf hang out with Crowfeather, Jayfeather, Bob the Builder, and Carol? They are ice-creams like dragons. They dance the night away while dragons build spiraling portals to Mars. They grow on vines made of twisted potatoes singing 'call me maybe' with three blue unicorns. And, hey, who is that obnoxious chick sashaying down the golden taco? She didn't win Xboxes, wine, or tickets to the Warriorcat theatre 'Firestar's Song!'. That definitely

  • has anyone ever noticed

    [justify][font=Georgia]Honestly I see it a lot; in fact it's a slight pet-peeve when it comes to things that simply tick me off. Like I personally don't get how you get "OCC". Like... Out Character Character? But I don't look down on anyone, like Murkrow said, or hate anyone who does it, I'm just not a big fan of these false abbreviations.
