Flat Tail: The Students

[Kingdoms of Cal]

Quick notes

Open to all and feel free to recycle your chars from the old flat thread if you have one (I'm bringing two back as I had way too many before) or create a new one. I reckon a limit of two per player would be fair. Even if you haven't got round to setting up your nation don't worry, dive in. All races/species are welcome, but bare in mind that anything too large might have trouble as the university and city are built on a, give or take, human scale.

I am keeping the university roughly the same (Liye Andrac University) and it's two centres of excellences will remain, being Queen's Collage of Art (Art, design, fashion, etc) and the Acime Institute (CS, AI, software engineering, etc) though the university does offer a full range other subjects.

As always feel free to ask questions as always and I'll try and get some maps done, etc. All suggestions more than welcome.

First Year 'throw away' subject: It's common in Scottish unis (which I'm basing the commonwealths unis on) to take a subject in first year (some times the first two years) that is just done to make some credits along with the main course requirements. Strickly speaking no one is tied to their degree till third year so sometimes people wined up graduating something totally different from what they started out to do (If they have the prerequisites to get into the third year of the course). Note I can have nothing what so ever to do with what they are studying.

This is the flat:


The flat isn't perfect, thus cheep, look at the side view of the rooms


Note the two corner rooms have more windows.

[The Union of Tinis]

Name: Raypez Mra Noot
Age: 19
Sex: Male
Species/Race: DOWN WITH SPECIESISM! (Ferret)
Hight: 1.86 m
Physical Description: Natural fur patterns of the ferret 'panda' type. Brown nose. Typically has dyed fur to neon coloration. In cold weather wears full on pants, but keeps to shorts otherwise. (unless its really hot ;-) ) Typically only wears a vest on his torso and nothing more.

Bio: Born in the city of Zanthro, Raypez spent most of his life in the city of Saga with his mother. His father spent most of Raypez's youth on a foreign work program but came back when the ferret was in his early teens. Raypez completed standard schooling at age 15 and then specialist schooling by age 17 with merit proven in computers, music, and biology. He then took two years off to backpack through the eastern mountains of Tinis with a group of friends.

Despite excellence in school, Raypez was seen as a trouble maker by teachers and his fellow students. As such, he was suspended a number of times almost every year. The longest of which was a month long suspension for flooding a gymnasium when he was 14. Working with his parents proved unhelpful. At specialist school Raypez's behavior calmed a bit due to his work load, but he did achieve one suspension for graffiti in an unauthorized school venue. (its alright in some areas, but not in class rooms or offices)

Raypez never had many close friends, but did have a few circles of people he wandered through over the years.

[Kingdoms of Cal]

Name: Tea Ah en
Age: 17
Sex: Female
Species/Race: Hybe (Teerie/vulpine)
Hight: 6 ft
Physical Description:
Ah like all hybes has the green and white skunk like fur colouring of a teerie skunk. She however has the facial characteristics, ears and more rounded body shape of a vulpine (she has breasts that are larger than a b cup and curves). She is quite fit due to her cycling but tends to look scruffy as she pays little attention to her appearance this is not to say she is unhygienic, infact she washes more than most. Here eyes are green and usually wears glasses, due to poor eye site and well claws and contacts are a bit of a tricky combination. Though she is now old enough for them to repair her eye sight it has never occurred to her to have it done.

Bio:
Ah had a fairly normal upbringing (well for a hybe), though she did spend her early years trimmed and dyed to appear like a vulpine, before her family moved to Sanctuary. One they moved she stopped dying and trimming to appear as her normal self (there was still some discrimination against hybes when she was younger, though they are far more accepted now some racism about her type still exists.)

Her father (a vulpine) runs a small ISP that specialises in running nets in areas of sparse population. The business makes just enough to provide for the family but not much more, but it was from being surrounded by tech that she honed her not inconsiderable skills and love of technology. She has two sisters, one in the navy, the other younger than her and still at school.

She was jumped forward a few times at school due to her high intelligence and almost expelled a few times for her pranks (but they could never prove it was her). Most of her pranks were to cause computer errors and get teachers arrested, black listed, declared dead, cars crushed for not pay road tax, etc. None of them were sorry to see the back of her. She has spent the last few years working in her father's ISP as her parents thought her too young to leave home...well more correct her dad did.

Her mother is a teerie and the business brains of the ISP and is very logical. Where her father is the tech and very emotional. He worries about her and if she will be able to take care of herself. Her mother is not that worried as she knows that Ah is more than capable of doing so, heck Ah might not be a teerie, but is enough of one and that's enough for her.

Ah is however a geek and makes no bones about it, never being far from her netbook that she almost always carries along with her com (iphone/blackberry/etc thing), both hacked to work they way she wants (and in ways the manufacturers probably wouldn't want and the cell phone company certainly wouldn't want). She love anime, roll playing and is utterly immersed in geek culture.

She is also a serious audiophile and posses a hifi that could probably do structural damage to some lighter buildings. She also cycles, partly because she enjoys it, partly as a practical means of transportation (most commonwealth cities are not built for cars and tend towards gridlock).

[Kingdoms of Cal]

Name: Oi
Age: 20
Sex:Female
Species/Race: Teerie
Hight: 6" 2'
Physical Description:

Oi like, almost, all teerie is tall and thin with little in the way of curves. She has the normal green fur with white skunk like markings of the teerie. She normally dresses, when she remembers, comfortably in combats and a vest top. Her eye's a green and her hair comes down to the base of her tail. She has little in the way of fat about her and is mostly mussel due to her some what high materialism. She is fairly flat chested but very much female in her gait.

Bio:

Oi was an orphan who was adopted by a childless couple, they never hid this from her and she never showed any interest in finding her biological parents. As far as she is concerned the people that brought her up are her parents no matter what DNA she has.

She is friendly and generally a happy person, sometimes to annoying level . She could be accused of being hyperactive as she is rarely still and always has to be doing something. Her adoptive father is a carpenter come joiner and her adoptive mother is the same. She has worked at the family business where her skill with wood became apparent very young and she started working with other mediums (which got her sent to bed early from the dinner table on more than one occasion).

Her fur is usually full of splinters and saw dust due to her somewhat over active carving technique, not to mention she tends to work nude.

Along with her artistic abilities she can generally fix most furniture, heck she can make furniture from scratch. She is not exactly a technical person, anything beyond wiring a plug is beyond her, but she can use a computer, but only if she has to, preferring to use paper.

[The Union of Tinis]

Name: Ig Xovip
Age: 18
Sex: F
Species/Race: Big Horned Sheep
Hight: 1.69 m (5 ft. 7 in.)
Physical Description: Homely looking big horned sheep for the most part. Fairly average build for her height. She does enjoy running but does so only to keep fit and not much more. Her manner of dress is typically a blue set of robes and on occasion a long skirt and color complimentary hoodie. Though not usually visible as she is almost always seen dressed, she has several scars on her abdomen that have left small bald spots in her fur.

Bio: Ig was born in Pargalo during the reign of terror of the Two Houses. She was lucky in that her parents were educated and able to teach her without being caught by the various secret police*. During the short liberation war Ig's family found their way to the liberated side and were well taken care of. Shortly after, Ig and her two brothers emigrated to Tinis on an education visa where they achieved high marks in the Centralis School for Refugees.

Though her family was forced to practice in secret before the liberation, they did bring Ig up as a member of a small Glorvanist sect called (after translation) Those That Smile. Ig takes the philosophy to heart and in addition to having a general positive outlook on life is seeking to follow the other ideas of the sect, such as engaging in enlightened metaphysical debate, creative works, and living life to its fullest every day. As such, she rarely speaks of the darker days of her youth.

*the different secret police groups in Pargalo at the time competed against each other, which at times lead them to be ineffective. Some kept 'outing enemies of the state' whom were in the other organizations...

[Nova25]

Name : Sarya Foxhog
Age : 18
Sex : Female
Species/Race : Hybrid - Fox and hedgehog (Foxhog)
Height : 5'' 9'
Physical Description : nova225.deviantart.com/art/Sarya-Foxhog-119307134

ROOM : 4th Level, West side.

Bio : She was born in the high-tech city of Minia in the Nation of Suikodan. She's the only daughter of the present Science-Mind, Nina Arrowny. She was sent to this University, along with her best friend Lyra Kirsanov, as way to open up, for the Hive-Mind, toward the science of other countries and in a show of trust toward the Nation of Cal.

Her dad mysteriously disappeared only a year after her birth and was never seen after ; Which left her with an emotional scar toward men, that she compensates with a rebel attitude in general and by being cynical toward people she doesn't trust, especially men.

That said, she's the kind of people that will always come to the defence of people in need or those victims of injustices and racism.

She's an expert in various forms of martial arts and she loves to eat fishes.

Species/Race : Hybrid - Tiger and hedgehog (Tigerhog)
Height : 5'' 11'
Physical Description : nova225.deviantart.com/art/Lyra-Kirsanov-130026966

ROOM : 4th Level, West side.

Bio : She was born in the fine, artistic city of Katze in the Nation of Suikodan. She's the only daughter of a smart and energetic pink Hedgehog and a rich Siberian Tiger, who is at the head of the main art galleries of Suikodan and a good private financier for the space program. She's the best friend of Sarya Foxhog.

She's a well educated girl, very polite, but she has a frivolous behaviour, due to the fact that she usually takes many things for granted, since her dad is rich. She's the kind of girl that like to do strange and funny things all the time and that would try everything, that she considers fun, at least once.

One of her favourite hobbies is to dye her hair, she REALLY likes that !

[aatuylva]

I'll join it...eventually.. >.>

Name: Yiro Anselm
Age: 19
Sex: M
Species/Race: Wolf
Height: 6'4''
Physical Description: A black furred wolf. Physically fit, but has a noticeable prosthetic leg and burn scars on his face and arms. Is blind in one eye. The viable eye is a gold color.

Bio: The son of Lord Commander Anselm, an artillery commander, Yiro had many advantages when growing up in the city-state of Tetra. The first of many was a position away from conflicts. This did not stop the accident, however, when Yiro had the misfortune of rediscovering an old minefield the hard way.

This experience has left him bitter, and he was banned from the university in Arvor after an incident with military grade explosives and a professor's car.

Like many of his people, he prefers to be left alone, seeing others as possible assets at best, enemies at worst, making him fairly anti-social. Unlike them, he does seem to actually want to know about the outside world, and is quite inquisitive.
