Carmine

Carmine's mood wasn't at its best, but she was still happy overall. She'd met the cutest little girl in all of Aincrad; actually, it was the only child she'd met so far in-game, but they were still extremely adorable nonetheless. There hadn't been a day, yet, that Carmine disliked in Sword Art Online, surprisingly. Even when meeting Kiru, Carmine still could care less about the other's attitude towards her, and instead began to like the female even more than before. What there wasn't to enjoy, Carmine had no idea. Unless, of course, a loved one were to die-much like in the situations wanted to be avoided she discussed with Piera-which was a good reason to be down.

After hanging around in a cafe, with a group of people she didn't know, all day Carmine got tired of talking to strangers and took a look at her friends list, hoping that maybe someone would be available. Even if they weren't, she'd bother them anyways of course. Hearing music close by, even if only for a few moments, Carmine was intrigued and headed the way that she'd heard the sound. Though, she was even more excited to see someone she was friends with, and found good company. "Jomei!" She skipped towards the person giddily after calling his name out, stopping next to the male when she noticed he was surrounding other. Still Carmine always loved it when more people were around her; one of which she happened to know, vaguely remembering said person was marked with an orange cursor. So she simply crossed her arms and smiled. "What's up?"

Carmine raised a brow at the girl's attitude, it was interesting alright. And not to mention, desirable; Carmine never would be able to be like that. There were no words to describe how she was, she just did whatever and went with it. Or so that's how it seemed. "Ah~ but you see," Carmine began, glancing over at the stranger. "that's exactly why you should engage in conversation with me. We can talk about whatever, and when this rain ends... forget it all and never see each other again. That's it. Forget formalities, insecurities, problems; just pretend like I'm a lifelong friend." Removing her gaze from the other female, Carmine leaned her head against the wall behind her and ran a hand through her hail, letting out a huff without a care in the world. Not a care, that is, except for if this person would like what she said or not.

Completely oblivious to the menacing glare the stranger flashed at her, Carmine began talking and emoting without really thinking about what she was saying or doing before showing her true self. There was never much thinking for Carmine, only doing. And now, she was doing because that's what felt right. "Are you alright?" The twenty-six year old now turned her whole body to whomever this was, focusing on her as if trying to scan her. Which, in a way, Carmine was trying to do so. "I had a finance once myself, and we loved each other a lot. If Va-he ever went missing during that period, I'd be... devastated." Carmine bit her bottom lip, staring at the ground. "Do you wanna talk about it? I'm not your best friend or whatever, but getting feelings out helps a lot. Plus, I'm only your five minute rain pal...so..." The woman cleared her throat, attempting to rid of the lump forming in the tight space, and instead smiled though the grin proved to be very weak, and obviously faked.

"But that's none of my business." Carmine kept her voice positive, even if doing so was becoming difficult. "You don't like rain?" She changed the topic quickly, acting as if what'd happened had never even occurred.

Passion and Trust~

That Sebby FC tho O3O i just died

Thorrissia is a Goddess, and very worthy of the position. She has been since the day she joined this site.

Thanks! I think so too~~ :>

You are beautiful. I love your confidence, only makes you look even better. <3 Loving the outfit btw it looks great.

Oh my goodness gracious.... I was told I should post a real life picture of myself here, by my best friend Cho, but then, She beat me to it! looks like you already got a picture of me! But I will post a different one! This is the most recent one on my phone or laptop... I hate taking pictures of myself, unless I am with other people... I still hate pictures, but Here you go! (Literally I have taken NO pictures by myself) Oh, and that is not my Boyfriend, that is just my friend, he asked me to prom, so now you know, how rarely I take pictures! Cho probably has dozens of ones with us two, she is always taking pictures.

 

Hasai, you look astonishing I would def ask you to prom O3O Plus, you've got a bubbly personality that I absolutely adore~

You all look poppin'-lockin' fresh!

Is there no NORMAL people?? Jeez stop loafing around a forum and get back to your modeling careers...

Meanwhile in Nerdville, McGeekton:

Back when my hair was shorter.

And look at this cutey patootie!

j

NOTHING I didn't expect from you (okay, maybe the snake was a surprise) but you look beautiful, and incredibly cute! Love your glasses, I couldn't rock circle rims like that if I tried.

Now I'm not a babe like Carmine, so don't raise your expectations. At all.

U r a veteran *bows down* ;D I'm decent with drawing, and yeah I agree. Do whatever you enjoy even if what you're trying to do is so terrible it makes ppl tear their eyes out. I know this from experience, I've tried dancing before as a hobby. 

For you, Thorrissia:

:D :D I'M A SETTER TOO <3 <3 SETTER'S UNITE. Also a server~  I name all my titles after songs as well, or lyrics, it's a habit. Drawing, anime, pizza, icecream, music, etc. Dang girl, you're like a replica of me.

OH. Thanks for clearing that up ;3 Not very far in the anime, and prolly wouldn't have caught that later on too. I always thought Erwin's eyebrows were uber-gorgeous... It seems there's not very much Japanese voice actors for anime, and I'm just saying that cause a lot of actors play multiple charries.

For you:

*returns bro fist* 

I love how you said that xD It's weird though, that they all mention he's sweaty and his clothes reek but then Hiyori thinks "oh he smells kinda nice" like wtf. And ohmigosh I freakin' love Levi <3 <3 Had no idea they were the same voice actor. In Japanese or English, though? I don't watch dubs. ((Will always love Erwin's eyebrows and Jean in SnK more than Levi))

Noragami, you say? Dibs on Yato >.> Good choice of anime, though. It has interesting details and the plot is like wow, the charries aren't too bad either.

We should totally RP together cause judging by your status update I'm going to liek you <3 PM me~ There's no choice...

"Right. Duly noted." Carmine replied, blinking a few times to register what was happening. She then took one huge step away from the door, to the other side of the opening so the next time someone walked through she wouldn't be crushed and flattened into the wall. "Oh yeah, it's raining. Might wanna stay under here for a while." Carmine tilted her head, staring at the female. Her attire was interesting, along with matching hair, though Carmine was sure she got compliments all the time. 'One of those perfect girls I suppose...' She thought, liking whomever this player was almost immediately. 

"We could talk and pass the time." Carmine suggested, chewing on her bottom lip wondering if the other would accept. Judging by her reaction towards the droplets coming down heavily, Carmine knew there was little chance she'd reject being protected from the weather until it ceased or blew by. "I'm Carmine." She waved, flashing pearly white teeth. "There was a lot of loud noises coming from there. What was up?" Carmine leaned against the wall of the building behind her once more, crossing her arms under her chest, exhaling contently. She'd inspect the weather system later, first came making a new friend. And hopefully, the type of friend she desired.

@Piera Oh yes, yes, yes. Honey Lemon is such a pretty gal. _{^{them powers are freaking rad}}    I swear, you're so nicee, you make me smile <3 <3

@Lee U LISTEN TO HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD? *dubs Lee as slightly cooler than before* Congrats~ Mmm, Katarina is too hawt to pass up, I would go for her myself x3 Haven't played LoL all too much, though.

It was... raining. Carmine didn't think such nasty weather was possible in the game of Sword Art Online. I mean, the past few days had been oh-so beautiful; your typical paradise, really. And then, as she was walking around idly without much to do especially since Carmine despised the thought of combat, out of nowhere the sky darkened and clouds rolled in. "What the fu-" She stopped mid-word and diverted her attention from the sky, searching for a place to hide for cover.

The systems, well, they were still confusing to the twenty-six year old. How did rain work? Did you even get wet, and soaked if standing to long with anything to protect you from harsh conditions. Sure, she'd felt the warmth of the sun's rays when it was sunny, but that didn't mean all weather would act the same. 

As soon as Carmine reached the hangover of a building, some people still outside walking enjoying the rain while others camped indoors, she leaned against the wall and it began to pour. She didn't want to go inside just yet due to immense curiosity in the way the game ran. How something could feel this real, could be so beautiful, yet only be a billion letters, symbols and numbers of coding, was beyond Carmine's comprehension ability to perceive.

Holding out a hand, fingertips slowly moving out from under the protection of the hangover, Carmine felt surprisingly giddy at what would happen. Though, before that could happen someone opened the door from the building behind her, slamming the solid piece of wood right in Carmine's face. She brought her hand back and gasped. Pain levels were low, that was a fact, but a slight ping of pain surged through her body.

"Ouch." Carmine groaned loudly.

@Piera I LOVE TALL GIRLS. They're rare, and gorgeous ;D "Think out of the bun." Girly, I liek you. You've proven to be cool, but now you're just cooler. Join me and Kiru's rank, you're worthy.

@Sakuri Orcs are way more beautiful than unicorns, unicorns can't even compare. Their teeth are freakin' amazing though if mine were sticking out of my mouth all the time I'd have some issues. Oh Coop, besides my iron skull I'm fragile as well so I'll refrain from harming you. Or at least I'll try.

@Yami Much thanks~

I'm not going to be buying a signature, but just wanted to let you know I took a look at your's and used it as a little inspiration for mine that I'm working on.Hope you don't mind~ ;D

Those vans are prolly mine, I like to keep my eyes open for potentia- Ahem. I mean, thank you~ Do not fear the vans... go towards them.

Hello there, kiddos~ :3 

I play Carmine, obviously, and could use some RP buds that are cool enough to match my level. Which shouldn't be hard, because most of the members on the site already seem pretty amazing. I've been roleplaying for four years, and I'm currently managing three other sites at the moment but I can handle it. One of those sites is for advanced roleplayers only, which is honestly what I classify myself as. 'Cause I can. >.>

My hobbies consists of rekking ppl with my headbutts while jamming out to Hollywood Undead and Imagine Dragons, drawing, and sitting on the couch being lazy during my Summer off. Luckily, I found this site's layout and rules to be very clear and understandable. In fact, I already understand some of the basics, which is strange for my tiny brain. So being lazy hasn't been a problem at all.

My favorite pick-up line: "If I had a van, I would lure you inside with some candy."

Nice meeting you people, thanks for being so kind in all of those status updates I've been posting.

PERSONALITY

Carmen has always been a loose cannon; full of flamboyance and never-ending surprises for those who are around her. She's loves to live life to the fullest, even in the most unpleasant of situations much to the dismay of most. It's not because she doesn't understand emotions and whatnot, but because Carmen wants to make the sad happy, no matter what. Even if she fails, Carmen will keep on trying. Why not? It seems that everyone quits after failing at least once, but the twenty-six year old feels the desire to finish what she's started, meaning you can bet Carmen won't end a job or personal mission until she know for sure there's no way she can succeed. But the word "impossible" is rendered useless in the woman's mind to an extent where anything and everything can work out so long as you keep trying to her. Usually those who tell her otherwise get a boot to their rear end, and a slap on the cheek with a short, motivational, scolding speech and shove forward towards the direction they were originally going. There's no escape from Carmen, not ever, if you tell her you quit someone or feel the need to. In fact, don't even mention doing so in front of her. M'kay? 

This "devoted" trait seems to extend even to the point of revenge. Being a friendly, warm person, it takes plenty of hate for Carmen to even release vengeance on anybody. But when she does, it's a world of pain coming their way. She'll do anything she has to in order for you to feel the pain you inflicted on her, no matter the cause of effect of the situation. Most would be scared of this ticking time-bomb, though there's really no reason to be unless she's made it clear she'll hunt you down in the dead of night, because Carmen's heart is rock solid and bent on making anyone and everyone her friend. Cliche popular girl? Maybe. But anyone just talking to Carmen, even if it's just for directions to the nearest gas station, will make her day the best there ever was and heart sore into the sky. Carmen truly loves and cares for every kind soul in the world. But it has been proven from time to time that many don't approve of Carmen's childish hopes, and slight immaturity. Those people have been proven that they were wrong about her, however, after so long because you eventually realize that Carmen is mature about many things and at the perfect times. Life isn't all fun and games, and never will be.

So you could imagine how easy it is to become a friendly face in Carmen's eyes; But are you really her friend? Probably not. Carmen is so socially skilled, it can seem she truly likes you and would do anything for you, but that just isn't the case. She used to be that way, to be so naive as to think everyone that told you they were your friend actually was, but those days are over. Acting is one thing and meaning it is another, after all. To be a true friend of Carmen is to have her back no matter what, to love her unconditionally, and she likes those her are honest enough to tell her that there's gunk in her teeth or a stain on her shirt. Or even those who point out her flaws, because in Carmen's eyes that's just the ideal friend. Forget all those men and women who criticize themselves aloud, for sympathy or just because they do naturally, because Carmen dislikes anyone who is a drag and hangs around to personally take someone down with their depressing ways.

Being a fun girl most of the time, you'd think that gets tiring. Well, it does. This persona of her's, something she does happen to get bored of, is half-true and half-fake. Meaning, sometimes Carmen is truly in a good mood, and other times she's hiding her sadness with a painted smile. Mostly because Carmen doesn't want to be a hypocrite and make others feel bad for her, bringing their mood down with her's. She prefers to just chill out on the couch like any other female does in a chick-flick, and delve in junk food and watch sad movies. Except, Carmen tends to bring her sorrows to her mother or a very, very close friend from time to time just to lift the heavy weight of whatever's wrong off her shoulders.

HISTORY

Carmen, much like everyone, wished for the "American Dream" as a child. She wanted to be free to do whatever she wanted, to marry the perfect man that would sweep her off of her feet, and to live in a lavish home full of expensive furniture; but most of all, Carmen wanted a child.

This would prove to be such a silly, silly dream in due time, but Carmen didn't think so. She was raised in a home of 3 other children, being the eldest of them all. So, from the very beginning you could imagine Carmen having to help her mother and father tend and nurture all of these kids, which made her gain such a giddy, friendly nature and the want to have a child of her own. She'd draw pictures of her "future family" and use a magnet to hang the papers on the fridge, along with talk to her friends about how amazing her life would be once she was older. The young girl surrounded herself with a small group of good friends, true friends, ones that would have her back until the end, and had a completely stable home with two loving parents. Of course, every sibling believes they hate one another, and has those childish feuds, but it seems Carmen's family was the exact opposite. Every night a "family meeting" would commence where all members shared their feelings, troubles, wishes, and whatever else need be before hugging and parting to do as they wished. This proved to be worth the grueling meetings, because after a while each sibling softened and became more in touch with each other. So, if Carmen wanted to play football with the boys', her two younger brothers would vouch for her. If she needed some makeup, or wanted to go somewhere late at night without her parents knowing, her younger sister would help without a moment of hesitation. A little unrealistic, you might say; but a little mental contact with those you are with every day of your life can go a long way.

Due to such a spontaneous personality, it was obvious Carmen was going to be a little difficult to handle. Every night she'd come home far too late, with parents sitting at home and waiting for her. You know, basic "rebel kid" actions. Carmen probably kept up with this because she knew her parents would never truly punish her, only scold the girl and tell her why it was wrong much like they did to every one of their children. It's unknown why they never changed this method, but it was likely that the parents felt a family meeting would do good on its own in the near future. Carmen never had tough parents after all, but don't get confused they were as loving and caring as could be.

Perhaps more scolding should have been used, because at the age of sixteen Carmen had become pregnant with a good friend of her's, Vance. Though disappointed and a little ashamed of their eldest daughter, after a while of arguing and separation Carmen's parents couldn't have been happier for their little girl. Vance was the highlight out of all of this, of course. They'd proven their love for each other, and were always so happy in each others presence. Vance's parents, however, had pretended as if their son never existed and kick him out of their home in a short three months since the big news. The solution was rather obvious and simple: Carmen's parents let Vance move in. He did get their daughter pregnant, after all. A few arguments here and there, a pleasant life at home; well, you'd think this family came straight from an old television show with how perfect they were. 

Things weren't so perfect for too long. Eight months into pregnancy, Carmen had a miscarriage that would soon reveal it was impossible for her to have a child. This wrecked Carmen emotionally, someone who'd always wanted a child of her own... of course this would ruin her life. Soon after, Vance became more and more distant until he mentioned to Carmen that he wanted a child and if she couldn't provide it then they should get divorced. Carmen complied instantly, completely understanding the need for a child, and got divorced from Vance while taking back her original last name at the age of seventeen. Now, Carmen was just a lump on a log sitting at home all alone, with no place to go, everyone sympathizing her so much it was nearly pathetic. What was a woman to do in this situation? Not to mention, she'd dropped out of school early for the sake of her child. There was nowhere decent Carmen to worked, and she sure as heck wasn't going to begin high-school all over again.

So then came online school, which Carmen slightly enjoyed. Her childhood friends were still in contact with her, and they'd go out for a fun time when none of them were working, so Carmen was never lonely. Especially with her younger siblings still out and about around the house. She put those computer skills to use, and finished far earlier than she could ever even imagine. After a few years of simple online jobs to earn her money, Carmen was asked to become a paid intern for a business that developed advanced computer programs and helped people out with their technical issues; Carmen couldn't ask for more, and felt like this job would be a little fun once she was used to it. The pay was what got her attention the most, and she gladly accepted. With a paid flight to Japan, a free apartment rental for three months, and even a gift placed in her new, temporary home, Carmen felt like her life was finally on the right tracks.

That gift, however, was what stopped her from going to work early the next morning, and what changed her life more than she wanted.

VIRTUES

» Understanding - Carmen, due to being the eldest sibling, can understand and feel most emotions that people experience, and is very tolerant when having to listen to the problems of others. She's able to forgive and forget, so long as you talk the issue out with her or at least attempt to; because if not she'll plan dire revenge on you. Still, if you act the right way and prove you're attempting to do good, she'll be able to understand. Or at least try to understand, and make her revenge a tad bit less painful than originally planned.

» Nurturing - No, she doesn't over-sympathize people like most would do, Carmen just can't help but care for others because it's in her nature. She won't cry over your issues, or go "aww", instead she'll talk the problem out with you in order to come to a conclusion, and even offer advice like a real mother or sibling would to their own family members. Being over-emotional in someone else's emotional times is just overrated. 

» Hard-working - Not believing in the word "impossible" or knowing how exactly people quit on things, it's not abnormal for Carmen to put everything she's got into what she believes in or what she's working on, because once her goals are set she goes for the gold. It's crazy to think how hard one woman will work even for things so little, but Carmen puts 100% into everything she does no matter what. Don't even try to hold her back, or she'll lash out at you.

FLAWS

» Immature - Being someone who still participates in childish games, and a girl that enjoys playing the rare prank on any individual she desires, Carmen could easily be dubbed "immature" by the likes of anyone around. She'll be the one to take stupid dares or bets, and carry out with them even if it consisted of tattooing your head. Her comments and ideas of fun are also odd for someone of her age, but she could care less because what others think is nothing to the twenty-six year old.

» Reckless - Most of Carmen's actions are thoughtless and irrational, she doesn't stop to think before she does mostly anything. Whether it's breaking the rules or making fun of that player-killer, she'll do it so long as her mind conjures the deed up. Carmen thinks you should always go with your gut instinct as soon as it hits, and lives by the motto, "What's life without a few surprises?"

» Stubborn - There's nothing, nothing that can move Carmen from her current goals or adjectives. You'd better not get in her way, or try and get her to quit on something, or she'll show you how determined she really is to get things done. Carmen doesn't care if her goals are silly in your eyes, or even pointless because to her that's never the case. Usually when Carmen picks out something she must get done, it isn't dumb or for an idiotic reason at all.

» Soft-hearted - Because of those "family meetings" all of her life, Carmen has developed a caring, motherly part of herself that feels the need to tend to anybody in an affectionate matter. She has deep understanding for about everything, and will do anything in her power to make you feel better or to just see a smile on your face. This also happens to be one of her traits because she'd always wanted a child, and knows she can't have one. This is a flaw because she trusts everyone with her life, and can put herself into dangerous situations where she can be used and/or mistreated. Though, that won't last for long because Carmen isn't one to take abuse, though she doesn't realize what's happening until it does.

» Emotional - Carmen's emotional needs have been intensified ever since her child mishap, and if not cared for she can get a little moody. Rudeness also tends to get to her fairly quickly, though she doesn't show this on the outside, and she hides when her feelings are hurt with a spunky attitude and wide smile, along with a few remarks to "show" she's truly okay. Carmen finds it easy to cry and becomes very, very embarrassed when seen doing this. So, just because she doesn't act like it, doesn't mean she isn't feeling anything on the inside.
