PLEASE ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF
Nicknames: Mike Age: 43 D.O.B. November 1 Gender: Male Sexuality: Bisexual Occupation: American Lit. Teacher
DON'T STARE AT ME
Michael is what many would call "ruggedly handsome". He's a wild-haired, dirt-under-his-finger-nails kind of guy. His strawberry blonde hair reaches a little past his ears and is always in disarray, getting in his eyes and looking like a tornado just went through it. He has deep blue eyes that get stormy when he's angry and even more liquid-looking when he's feeling a strong emotion. He has a strong jaw and a wide, bright smile that he isn't shy about sharing with anyone.
He's very fit from weekly exercising at the gym, and his constant jogging everywhere he goes. He has a golden tan for most of the year, even if it dims a bit in the winter time.

WELL I AM WHAT I AM WHAT I AM
Alias: Fredi Age: Gender: Female Experience: A couple years Contacts: PM Secret Word: admin RP Sample:
Marigold almost left without listening to Cerise, but she stopped after she considered all the pros that went along with doing so. Pros and cons often played in Goldie's mind. She was a gambler at heart, but she was a smart gambler, and making sure she knew all the risks and rewards was part of what made her smart. The pros outweighed the cons for the moment, so Goldie waited to listen to what Ceri had to say.
"Okay...that right there. I didn't understand half of what you just said," Marigold commented with raised brows. She was kidding, sort of. She really didn't know what an ancient genealogy was supposed to be, or how you majored in it, or what it was supposed to do, but otherwise she got Cerise's gist. The rest of the stuff, the pretty words and intellectual crap, didn't really matter.
"I accept your offer to help me." Cause lord knows I need it. Marigold smiled again, her previous anger lessening as she thought about how many answers and tricks she could get from Ceri on how to make A's. In Goldie's mind, she figured geniuses (she still thought Cerise was genius-level smartness, no matter what the girl said) must have all sorts of tricks they used to be so smart and make such amazing grades, so Marigold thought she could get some of those from Ceri.
"I'm Marigold, by the way. Marigold Fontaine," the blonde introduced herself, realizing Ceri might not even know who she was. She offered her free hand politely to the other girl, trying to wear a convincingly friendly smile that was only half-acting. "So...how do you plan to help me make good grades?"
