TWO YEARS AGO, A CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION GOING BY THE NAME TEAM IMUM WRECKED CHAOS ACROSS THE LAND, DAMAGING CITIES AND KILLING THOUSANDS OF CITIZENS. While Imum itself has long since been disbanded, however, the region remains broken: entire towns have been laid to waste and the Association struggles to find homes for those who were lucky enough to survive the attempted genocide. Reconstruction trudges on as usual... but with three factions - the Association, the corporations, and the people - each wishing to take the rebuilding of an entire region down opposite paths, how long will it be before Lyeant's last leg gives out permanently?

we're officially re-opened! come check out our event, the pokeathlon forever to enjoy some fresh restart activities. let leap know if there are any skin bugs, and they'll be sorted out accordingly!
Care to hear about our lord and savior Operation: Mindcrime? In all seriousness: Hello, hello! I'm Pharaoh Leap – or just Leap – local head admin and rock opera enthusiast. On the rare chance you catch me in a time when I'm not bawling about characters entirely written into song, you may see me actually doing work around the site, like skinning, making too many characters, and encouraging others to also make too many characters. I only know how to write angst, and in no fewer than six trillion words an app or post, so if you like dying while reading like I like dying while writing, I'm the girl for you. ;o
Howdy guys! The names Astro and I am your resident Brit & Red muse (you'll honestly see me more on him than any of my other characters). I'm a moderator and my main job is to make sure everything is running smoothly so the Admins can focus on other things, you'll often see me within the apps and shops, etc when I'm not on Red. What can I say about myself? Apart from being a Red fanboy I like music and games and yaoi huehue, I honestly never now what to put into these sort of things but ohwell, I'm more of a "ask me and I'll tell" sorta guy. Anyway, from my personally I hope that you enjoy the site and what we produce here but also if you're new, please look around and if you like what you see please consider joining for rad plots that everyone gives! :D
Hey there~ Nano over here! I uh.. Wait, I'm doing this right, right? Bleh. So I'm a moderator over here - fun, fun - who kind of just.. Keeps an eye on everyone. You know, the whole app thing and what not. Uh.. Lets see.. When I'm not doing school work (because I may or may not be trying to be a good student) I'm probably storming up new ideas like events and etc. Or plots. Plots are always good, too. As you can see, I uh.. Have the horrible habit of making way too many characters. I swear, I was tempted with plots, ships and angst. It's like, the holy trinity. Uh.. What else is there about me? Oh, right! Please excuse my obnoxiousness. I'm just really loud in general so don't be surprised if I start screaming as loudly as I can caps. So yeah. Nice meeting you!

I agree. Tae, how dare you say that to her face. She would have smacked you. [break][break]
Hell, she probably would have smacked you, but you're lucky you have such a nice friend. Oh, you are sooo damned lucky. Aurelie stares up at him before raising her hand, pressing her finger against the centre of his forehead before a coy smirk makes its way to her lips. "What? So just because it's me, you aren't busting your ass for apologies? Wooow Tae." The albino's smirk stretches a bit more, beginning to lean her weight onto one leg as the other arm slowly makes it's way to prompt itself against her hip. God, she felt like such a typical white girl. Just with that stance. Well, white girl, thottie, something like that. She just felt so damned sassy when she was in this position. But thankfully, it was all in good humour. Her hand lowers to her heart while her eyes roll that slightest amount. "Oh, I'm wounded. Like, seriously. I'm hurt. Ouch." She speaks in that feigned pain. Oh, woe is her, right? But in the midst of that act, she can't help but to quietly burst into a small series of quick giggles at her cringy, little act. The little act that she felt would probably send shivers up her spine; and not the good ones. No, not the good ones from horror. The ones that just make you go "really?" and tempt you to smack them. [break][break]
"Ten bucks say you'll probably still run me over next time around." and then she sticks her tongue out to blow him a quick raspberry. The young woman smiles before shaking her head a few times, casually shifting her posture to lean onto her back foot more than leaning to the side. "This is why I hate getting up in the morniiiiing.." Aurelie raises her tone into a near, childish whine before narrowing her eyes. She's briefly pulling her thoughts together before looking up with a small smirk on her face. "... Nah, scratch that. Twenty bucks say that you'll still run someone over. Not everyone is as tall as you--" She raises her hand up, beginning to wave it a slight bit before cocking her head to the side. "Living proof. Right here." [break][break]
Though she says that, his company was more than appreciated, especially in the morning. After all, she was absolutely terrible in the mornings. Like, someone kill her. She couldn't take waking up so early in the morning. That being said, his question was more than appropriate. What, with her being possibly the most bitchiest and angry people in the mornings for one reason or another. Partially because she would sleep in at like, four in the morning. Partially because she just doesn't have the time to sleep, partially because she was drinking the night before. Partially because hang overs were jerks, and partially because she just didn't want to put up with a throbbing headache the morning afterwords. Sleeping it off usually helped if she didn't have a glass of water the moment she wakes up, and thank god she has Angelica making sure that she doesn't crash into the wall thinking it was the door. [break][break]
"Eh.. Alarm clock went off at like.. Six in the morning." Aurelie shrugs, but there's a hint of distaste within the bright, crimson hues of her eyes. Damn it, Angelica. "Angie ended up setting the alarm for six in the morning. And hell, is it killing my head. Doesn't help how I couldn't even get my morning coffee--" Because yes, she needs her coffee. Coffee was literally what kept her going through the day, otherwise she'll probably die of exhaustion. Aurelie shrugs her shoulders once again, lowering her hands to place them in the pockets of her hoodie. Now, she would ask him what he was up so early for, but she knows that he was already an early riser. Lucky bastard, being a morning person. But asides from that, she takes a quick once over on the streets just to see if she could catch any other familiar faces. Shortly after that, Aurelie glances back up to him in a near curious manner. "So have you seen Vi? Steph told me that she usually takes morning jogs-- One of the few times she actually leaves her room and all."[break][break]
That is, she's assuming that Vivian managed to leave her room when he went to go and visit that one savage kid. Like, the kid was vicious.
Now Aurelie barely took the time for herself for photoshoots. Hell, she was a DJ, she was the last person someone would call over for a photoshoot. But lo and behold, the albino found herself being dragged into the ordeal. It wasn't anything that she hadn't been pulled into before and.. This was usually a change that she openly welcomed. Hell, she had a blast showing herself off, despite how her outer and near cold exterior may let off. Aurelie sits herself in the dressing room, back straight as the albino lets the woman brush around her face and the like. The usual amount of make up, but there didn't need to be too much done. Thankfully, she didn't have to worry about her skin tone. Rather than looking a ghastly, pale white, she thankfully retained enough pigment in her skin to add that peachy hue to it. At least then she wouldn't look like she came out of a black and white photograph or - even more insulting - born from the womb of a skeleton. Aurelie glances upwards at the woman, who was taking care to arrange her hair in a neat fashion. The woman flashes a small smile down to her, which was returned with the same gesture. [break][break]
For the time being, Aurelie allows the woman to play around with the locks of white. Though there was volume, she personally couldn't find the appeal in her hair and her eyes. Bright, blood red eyes that stared straight into the mirror, paired with the deathly white hair framing her face. Still, she doesn't understand what people found so attractive about it. Did they like the mystery? The near dead glare that she gave with those vibrant, red eyes? The near blank stare that she gave to the camera? Mmn.. Apparently they tended to associate someone like her with mystery. With silence, with calm and mature. Gods.. Could they get even more wrong? Aurelie calmly awaits the woman to finish with whatever she was doing, only to flash a small smile before standing herself up. "We're finished~" The woman chimes, which is responded with a small smile and nod from the albino woman. With that, she stands up onto the ruby red heels of hers. Ruby red heels, paired with a light, white summer dress and a white hat. White hat that was topped with a ruby red ribbon. Red and White, all the time. Red and White were two colours that she loved. [break][break]
Loved and loathed. [break][break]
The colours of death, in flower language that is. Not exactly the most loveliest of meanings, but the younger and clueless ones thought that it meant romance and weddings. Love and wedding dresses. Love and purity. While separately, the colours certainly meant it, they weren't meanings that you should put together, but then it no longer means a pure love. The death of love, perhaps, but certainly not a pure and innocent love. Mmn.. But to be fair, for her to deny it wasn't the same for her would be a desperate attempt to ignore reality. Hence why when she was handed a white rose to hold, she pensively stares down at it's thornless stem and clear, white petals. "Thank you~" The albino chimes with a petite smile. Modest and kind, but straight to the point about it. The type to fib about her image, specifically if it wasn't a close friend. But even then, it was difficult. You know, trying to keep things up while also being friendly and chatty. Two completely opposite traits that she had to somehow work out. [break][break]
Aurelie holds onto the single rose in her hand, examining it a fair amount before giving the woman a dismissive smile. She was supposed to meet her partner for this specific shoot, whom she was told will be given a red rose. However as she exits her own dressing room, she catches wind of a female's voice, more bothering a male in the room. Out of sheer curiosity, Aurelie sneaks herself past, only to find her trying to hit on yet another guy. The moment her eyes catch her figure, she nearly flinches and scowls to herself. Her chest tightens a fair amount as she lets the scene sink in, eyes narrowing while the blood in her hands begins to boil. For each empty chime, Aurelie feels herself getting all the more irritated. Stop acting like such a sweet girl; you're a damned bitch. The albino thinks to herself. Thankfully, the male Reagan's trying to hit on is less than intent on entertaining her. If anything, the girl seems like she's trying to hit on him. With that, Aurelie casually strides into the room. [break][break]
Now, this isn't to end the guy's misery; this is of her own spite. [break][break] "Reagan, is that you?" Aurelie chimes with a near modest smile, maintaining that generally calm and composed demeanour. Even though she was practically blowing up in the confines of her mind, she at the very least, wanted to come off as pleasant. Though, she made sure to take a quick look over her surroundings to ensure that they were the only three in the room. Right now. Because hell, Aure had a lot of things to say to this woman. She had a lot of things to say, to do. She had a lot of things against her, and what she wouldn't give to call her stupid, slutting ass to the curb. What she wouldn't give. But - for the sake of formalities - she was trying her hardest to at least look civil. So if anything, her fake smile broadened as she approached her before cocking her head over to the red headed male. "Hrm.." Admittedly, Aurelie took a quick look over the male that Reagan was trying to get with. Well.. She can't lie. Hell, he was hot. Like, attractive. Smoking. God damn. Buuut that doesn't excuse her for her behaviour. "... Jeez.. Reagan. Have some decency." The smile slowly began to transition into a small smirk, and the young woman shrugs her shoulders before cocking her head to the side. "After all, he did tell you to fuck off, right?" And with that, the girl held the white rose towards the stupid young woman. More in a taunting manner if anything, with the low smirk and lower voice. [break][break]
"So kindly, fuck off. I'm sure you have some other poor smuck you should be screwing around with, anyways."[break][break]
... See, this wouldn't be surprising if the young man knew how she was. On this end though, the odds are he was told he'd be working with a generally mysterious young albino. I mean, that was her image anyways. Composed, mature and all that stuff. But even then, her words were laced with the venom intended to sink all her fangs into the girl's pride. Well, whatever pride she had left.
[attr="class","partynotes"] Fancy running into you
[attr="class","partytriangle"]
[attr="class","partycontent"]
Good morning world. A very, very good morning to you. [break][break]
No it wasn't. Damn the mornings, she says. Damn them to hell. If she didn't have to get up so early, she would have grabbed the blankets and pulled them over her head. You can only imagine her as she's reaching across the bed, lazily reaching for her alarm clock with a groan. Typical white hair, fallen over her face as sharp, ruby eyes glared at the arms of the clock. The woman grumbles to herself as she's planting the palm of her hand against the surface of her bedside, pushing her body up before running her fingers through the thin, white strands of her hair. Thin strands, but an abundance of them made it look thick as all hell. She looked like a damned Mareep, if we're using analogies. And even if she doesn't like to get up - even if she doesn't want to get up, there's nothing she can do against it. Hence, the woman can only sigh as she's pulling out the closest pair of clothing from her closet. Lazily throwing things on, lazily getting ready, but not lazy enough to still look like a mess. A yawn escapes her lips as she's getting ready, and then she's passing down the stairs and to the kitchen. Of course, Angelica was already up at the time. Early a bird as she always was. Small talk was nice, yeah. They had some small talk, up until Aurelie found the clock behind the other Kalos-native woman. [break][break]
...[break] The damn woman set her to wake up at damned six in the morning when she thought it was eight. [break][break]
And to make matters worse, she couldn't go back to sleep. She couldn't go back to bed after waking up, and the brunette cousin knew about her schedule. Hell, she could practically growl at her cousin for playing such a crude prank on her, but thought otherwise after watching her smile the way she did. It was hard to argue with that, thus the albino could only go quiet and comply to her michevious tendencies. But now she was awake, and there was nothing to do before work. There was nothing to do; she was going to be bored out of her mind. Usually, she would be using this time to talk to Elizabeth. Usually, she would be using this time to talk and probably mix some music with her. Usually, she would be using this time to help Angelica cook with Elizabeth. Usually, she would be using this time to have Lizzy fix up her hair, make up or whatever. Usually, she would be spending some more time with her cousin. You know what? Maybe she would be. She would like to be-- If she weren't dead. [break][break]
The thought of it is gruesome enough, and even more so with what she found in the dead girl's room. Just moments before her death, and this thought prompts her to casually glance over to Angie with a near pensive and thoughtful look. But things went by as they usually did and would; a smile, a wave and a laugh to brush off any and all underlying concerns. She knows that even if she told the young woman, she wouldn't believe her. Even if she wanted to believe her, she doubted that she would act on the information. Not to mention that the video was live; there was no way to save it, because it wasn't recording. Aurelie grumbles to herself in distaste - these unpleasant thoughts were clouding her head and her better judgement. "I'm gonna go out for a jog, 'kay, Angie?" Her voice chirps from the door, responded with a smile and a "have a safe trip". Heh.. She's like a mom, she thought to herself. But overall, she was grateful to have something like a mother figure. Even if she was a beautiful model and all, she was still Angie. Sweet, angelic Angie-- Who.. Probably wasn't as angelic as she first anticipated. Regardless, she was still envious of the young woman's purity.[break][break]
Aurelie takes the first few steps outside, breathing in that fresh, open air. "Now this,--" She takes in another deep breath, before releasing a relaxed and satisfied sigh. "Is what I call, quality air~" Because yes, folks. Air can be quality. A++ air, to be exact. The woman snickers at her comment before her feet take her outside. Rising sun, few people on the streets. There was little need to put on a disguise for the sake of her DJ occupation, especially when there was too few people to actually know what you did when the sheet of twilight covered the city. A smile curls to her lips as she begins to drift in thought. But though she loved the sounds of nature, it was probably going to drive her crazy if she didn't listen to some sort of music to begin with. That being said, her fingers curl around the white wire of a pair of ear buds before sticking them in and planting them in her ears. Her eyes momentarily glance down to the powered on screen, fingers flicking to choose a song from her vast playlist. Man.. She should clear that out. [break][break]
And she's about to tap on the song she was in the mood for. So close, actually. Just had to click it until--[break][break]
She suddenly heard a muffled - but very familiar - near scream. A shadow made itself visible as she's slowly looking up, only to find the figure of a towering male literally running towards her. Like, running. Like sonic the hedgehog running. The Albino's eyes widen in surprise and - unfortunately - she failed to epically dodge that. Instead, she looked like a graceless hitmontop tipping over. Her body shifted until she literally fell onto the ground, using one hand to catch herself while the other was holding onto the MP3 player. It was held up and from the ground, thank god because she'd probably freak out if it broke. What? It'd take forever to sync the songs down on another player, after all. "Arceus..! Watch where you're going!" Aurelie starts, nearly hissing because.. Again, she wasn't a morning person. Her brows furrow in distaste, up until she can look up and finally get a good idea as to.. Who it was. [break][break]
Because lets admit it; only one person wears a face mask like he's some sort of serial killer. [break][break]
"Tae?" The woman starts. Her hand plants into the ground as she pushes herself off, brushing her backside from any dirt that may have gotten on her pants. "Arceus, watch where you're going. You could have run someone over with your height." The albino snickers at her comment as she maintains that gaze. That being said.. Eh. He knows that it was all fun and games. Or.. Rather, she hoped that he knew.

She was never a serious person, but she's always been undeniably loyal. [break][break]
Meet Aurelie - or more commonly known as R or Lee. Aurelie is someone who's bright, chatty and definitely someone who you can have a nice conversation with. She's the type of person who you'll see walking down the streets like she owns the place, she's the type of person who will give you a sly smile when things go right around her. Aurelie is a social girl, someone who's more than willing to hold a conversation and the odds are, you'll both leave with each other's numbers to come into contact another time. That being said, she's undeniably street smart. She retains a genuine, silver tongue that has helped her with making friends, connections and etc. But as though that's not enough, she's also quite the little devil. She's a daring and a sassy young woman, who's more than willing to take risks and take the initiative to approach and greet. That being said, it doesn't mean she doesn't know how to act formally. For whatever reason, in the event where she will have to act for the sake of formalities, she will be able to pull it off with relative ease. The long story short is that she's a person who will say what you want to hear, and the thing is that she more often means it than not. The majority of people would find her frighteningly trustworthy; especially with how few people are capable of questioning any otherwise, possible ulterior motives. [break][break]
But as social and pleasant as she can be around others, the same majority will find her to be pushy and uncomfortable to be around. Uncomfortable, only because Aurelie lacks shame in every shape or form. She will wear racy clothing, she will try to convince you into doing something with her. She will push and pressure you, and she will drag you. Even if she isn't obnoxious, Aurelie has very little sense of boundaries and the worst part? She's fully aware of it. Aurelie is a very provocative young lady, who comes off tactless sooner than not. But even then, no one can deny that she's persuasive and charming, resulting in a manipulative trait that most wouldn't be able to seek out. If anything, she hides behind the deception that she's an innocent young woman.The best way it can be described as is two-faced; by day, her personality is generally sweet. In the face of it all, she's pleasant to be around. But underneath that, and in the darkest of nights, Aurelie isn't afraid to show herself off and act considerably more conceited than she normally does. [break][break]
Unfortunately for her, however, Aurelie has immense trust issues towards others. Aurelie is faithless, such that she has very few expectations of those around her. Having been disappointed beyond repair in her past, Aure finds it difficult to trust again - entirely with her own heart. To top that off, Aurelie handles stress poorly; she's an escapist. She dislikes facing her own problems, and would sooner escape into another world. In this case, Aurelie escapes the world through alcohol and drinking which - in most cases - can be considered excessive. Though she will never admit it, drinking has turned into her habit of coping - her way of escaping a world that she wants to permanently escape. Whereas she's fully aware of the damage it does to her body, it doesn't stop her. Eventually, she grew to lack self-preservation and eventually learned to loathe herself for her own actions; constantly pinning a blame unto herself for her poor decisions in life. But even then, she becomes contradictory when she does it time and time again. Despite having tried to quit drinking years before, she finds herself going back when the stress has gotten unbearable. [break][break]
She will never drink in public; not anymore. Despite being a public drinker in the past, she's found herself slowly trying to stray away for the sake for her own safety after numerous other, accidental encounters. Aurelie has grown to be cautious - nearly paranoid - about her surroundings. Her shamelessness and nearly vain attitude is to mask her own insecurities, along with her own discomfort when others look at her figure. In this case, most people would view her as a hypocrite on all levels. But even then, that doesn't stop her from trying. The way she sees it is that if she is capable of expressing and exhibiting an excess of what she viewed to be "evil", it would no longer be "evil", in some twisted sense. This is the thought that has kept her going over the years; this is the thought that has stopped her from doing anything stupid, along with an unexpected, protective and caring side of her towards close friends and family. [break][break]
Under the effects of stress, however, Aurelie is prone to bouts of depression. This depression can and will lead to her own isolation, which leads to her getting snappy when she's not drinking. She's considerably less willing to talk about her problems when sober, only because she holds the intent belief that people will only listen to her words if and when she's no longer in the right mind.
I know I’m nothing more than a wandering ghost[break] An empty shell that’s nothing but a void at most
[attr="class","taketwoapplicationtab2bot"]
[attr="class","taketwoapplicationtab2bot2"]
Although “NO” is what I meant
✎ She was born in Kalos, Anistar City if we're going to be more precise. The cousin of Angelica and Elizabeth Frasier, and an only child. Her childhood, in a nutshell, was generally quiet. IT was pleasing, it was uneventful. It wasn't anything that she couldn't ask for, and it wasn't anything that she could say she hated. Even if she was born the only albino in her family, her parents never seemed to dislike the pasty white female in any shape or form; in fact, they adored her. Aurelie was spoiled from birth as the only child, only a few number of years younger than Angelica. She was seen as pure and clean; she was seen as beautiful in their wholehearted opinions. Hence, she was spoiled. She was doted on by her family, and she was beloved by the rest of her relatives. [break][break]
✎ But this love was suffocating, and it was only given to her as their way to coax her into being a certain way. She was expected to fit a certain stereotype; her family was sexist. They wanted her to act feminine and polite; pleasant and lady-like. Just like Angelica, and she hated it. Though she loved Angelica to bits, she couldn't find it in herself to obey. As she was growing up, she became an increasingly rebellious, tomboyish girl who preferred to wreck havoc in the house, rather than clean it up. Her parents grew increasingly frustrated with the little girl, but that never stopped her from doing whatever the hell she wanted. Though her family attempted to contain her, she'd only rebuttal with even more resistance until her family couldn't take it anymore; until they ultimately alienated her from the household itself. [break][break]
✎ In her earlier years of school, she eventually moved over to Lumiose City to study in an exchange program. There, she found a petite Skitty gijinka who was being severely bullied for being a gijinka, something that didn't sit well with her. Though small, she was a rebellious and violent little one. In those few weeks of her exchange program, she became close friends with the gijinka in spite of their age gap. The gijinka she eventually learned to be named Vivian was a bright little thing. Unfortunately, the girl suffered from numerous bruises; all of which she brushed off as her chasing things and doing her own thing to bump into things. Aurelie was unaware of the abuse that Vivian suffered from, and ultimately brushed it off. The two of them were too young to exchange contact information at the time, and therefore the two never spoke again after Aurelie returned to Anistar. [break][break]
✎ Thinking back on it, her parents weren't a big part of her life because she didn't want them to. Aurelie had always been an intelligent and independant child, which explained why she wanted so little to do with the mom and dad. The mom and dad who tried tried to mould their daughter into the person they wanted her to be through masked kindness. She could practically feel the toxic kindness, the passive aggressiveness that was directed towards her. For the majority of her earlier years, she couldn't stand the feeling of being oppressed in her own home. With that, she often went out to do her own things - but as a result? She ultimately started to skip out in school and.. Found less and less interest in it. By the time she hit her early teenage years she was.. Doing some pretty stupid things out of peer pressure. Things that she's not fond of, and friends whom she would rather not talk about. [break][break]
✎ By the time she turned thirteen, her household and her community in general became too toxic for her to handle. As a result, she resorted to isolating herself from them even more to stop herself from engaging in more.. Dangerous activities. Unfortunately for her, said "friends" broke into her house and ended up attacking her without a warning one night, being deemed a "traitor" amongst their group. This was how her parents found out, and their passive aggressive gradually shifted into full out physical and verbal abuse. The transition was far too large and hard on her, and in a a year it fuelled her depression and sentimentality all the more.
[break][break]
for some reason “YES” is what I said
✎ At the age of fourteen, she ran away from home to live with her cousins; Angelica and Elizabeth. Seeing how the two of them chose to live separately from the rest of the family, she thought that it would be best for her to.. At least go with someone she knows. Hence the girl found herself hiding out with the two of them in their apartment. At the age of fourteen, Aurelie began to look for potential jobs - after dropping out of school, of course. Unfortunately for her, the fact that a young teen stopped attending school was less than desirable as a worker, and hence she suffered from financial difficulties, along with the other two cousins. Thankfully however, with Angelica's occupation as a model, they were.. At least capable of making a living. Elizabeth began to act as a make-up artist to make a decent penny at school, and eventually she began to work from home, as well. [break][break]

The bad thing ‘bout having regrets
✎ In her pursuits for a job, she was introduced to Sophia Bell through Elizabeth, who taught her how to play around with music and sounds and the like. From there, Aurelie developed a growing interest and eventual passion in the musical arts - quick to pick it up an begin composing her own music and remixes. With Sophia's help, she began posting these remixes and the like online - which rapidly grew in popularity. At the age of fifteen, she was offered a position and job in a recording company - one of which she was quick to accept. From there, Aurelie has been able to support both herself and her cousins through the money she makes with her music. [break][break]
✎ It was in this time where she met a young woman named Reagan - someone who worked in the same field as she did as a DJ. The two began creating their own remixes and collaborations more often, and eventually the two grew to be very close friends. This was also the age where she met Reagan's boyfriend; Tae Seung, along with his siblings. And as usual, Aurelie was able to make quick friends and get along with the group rather easily. Even though they were all doing their own things, Aurelie always ensured to make time to hang out with her friends without any qualms. At the age of Seventeen, she met a young boy who was just a couple years older than her. He, too, was part of the music industry and the two of them hit it off rather well. From there, she gradually began to develop feelings for him and the two of them ultimately started a relationship. The two of them seemed nearly inseparable and hell, she often went over to visit him for the night and etc. [break][break]
✎ He got along with Angelica, however Aurelie could feel that Elizabeth didn't.. Like him. Not in the slightest, in fact. Aurelie always brushed off Elizabeth's warnings and sneers towards her boyfriend, along with Reagan, and usually deemed it as a teenager being a teenager.
[break][break]
is if you can fool them, then you’re innocent
✎ The relationship was stable and seemed to be going pretty well. Aurelie was able to see Eric once every few days and went out on dates; the two of them had a good balance between interaction and solitude, and the two of them really did get along. It was clear that Aurelie adored him, and it was clear that Eric returned the love in it's full extent. What irritated her if anything, however, was how he always seemed to forget when her birthday was. Though there were the petty arguments here and there, they would ultimately make up and move on with their lives. They seemed inseparable. They seemed like a perfect, adorable little couple. They seemed that way, but there were so many things wrong with it. Things that were wrong with it, that she should have picked up. She should have picked up, but she didn't. She didn't, because she her judgement was blinded by her love. [break][break]
✎ Behind the closed doors, Eric sexually abused her. He would push himself onto her without consent, but eventually got her to give it even when she was screaming no in her head. At one point, he actually gathered many other men - or as he called them, "friends" - who would all enjoy themselves with Aurelie. She did.. Many things that she wouldn't usually do, but all she knew was that she loved him, and therefore she should try her best for him to love her in return. Hence, she quietly complied and agreed. Though at first she was reluctant, the sad thing is that over four the four years they had been dating, it became a normal thing for her. She thought that by doing this, he would stay loyal no matter what. Even if she was committing the act with numerous other men under his order, he would know that her heart only belonged to him. [break][break]
✎ On her twentieth birthday, Valentines day, she was intending to go see Eric. She finished work earlier and went out to get him a Valentine's Day present, keeping in mind what he liked and what he wanted. For once, she did pay closer attention on what she should wear so that they could go on a date later that day, and she was practically giddy over her head. She was just about to approach his apartment until she saw Reagan standing out there; which she found odd. Earlier that day, Reagan had told her that she was too busy, but they would be able to hang out later in the evening to celebrate her birthday. Curious and skeptical, she slowly began to close in on the two of them using her Zorua's illusion - more to conceal her presence. [break][break]
✎ She was able to sneak in with her Zorua before the door closed, and though it was wrong, she found herself spying on her boyfriend and her best friend. While initially, things were nice and platonic - things took a drastic turn. It was such a drastic turn that.. She didn't know what to think of this. In the next moment, she found her best friend and her boyfriend making out like no tomorrow. She was there, listening them whispering to those sweet nothings and dissing her without another thought. Aurelie was staring in utter silence as she watched the two of them expressing whatever love they had for each other, until it became too much for the poor girl to handle. In a fit of rage and grief, the girl recalled her Zorua to turn down the illusion. Aurelie confronted the two of them on the spot, watching as they attempted to throw the other under the bus with their lies. Of course, Aurelie didn't take any of that. The albino woman dumped her boyfriend on the spot and cut her ties from him, taking the initiative to delete him from her life, along with Reagan. [break][break]
✎ What hurt her the most was how she found out Eric was only using her; he was using her as a side. He was toying with her; for the past four years, he was only toying with her and making fun of her. He was using her to get money out of others guys; he was selling her out to prostitution when in reality while maintaining a partner affair with Reagan. She was introduced to him through Reagan and.. Finding this out? That her boyfriend only got with her because he wanted to use her for money, and her best friend was partially in on this..? Partially, because Reagan didn't know to what level he would go. But in the end, he was capable of exploiting money and he shared the spoils with her ex-best friend.
[break][break]
I only know how to lie
✎ But she was heartbroken; for the next few months, Aurelie closed herself off from the world. After finding out that Eric was cheating on her, - and on her birthday no less, - she was less than willing to open her heart up to anyone else in the fear and paranoia of being used as a "side" piece. Though there were many times he attempted to contact her again, Aurelie blocked him out without hesitation. Not only that, but her once closest friend - Reagan - continuously attempted to contact Aurelie in hopes to "apologize". Unfortunately, the albino woman was far too filled with heartbreak and rage to respond. [break][break]
✎ Thus, she suffered from the betrayal of an old friend, and her previous love. In attempts to forget her pain and drown away her sorrows, Aurelie began to engage in drinking and alcohol consumption to leave the reality; even if for a little while. Unfortunately for her, she found that her high alcohol tolerance resulted in her having to consume large amounts before finally feeling a haze - hence started her unhealthy drinking habits. As though that wasn't enough, she eventually found out that her drinking until she was wasted at bars led to her doing.. Less than desirable acts with complete strangers in bars. There have been countless times where she had been assaulted. To this day however, she's barely able to remember any of them. After learning about this, she started to drink from home.[break][break]
✎ However one night, after a sudden depression spike, she found an anonymous video that was sent to her. Said video contained a recording of.. Earlier mentioned event. It had been taken without her consent, showing an indecent side of her while wasted. Along with the video was a threat of blackmail, while truthfully scared the albino out of her mind. For the next week or so, she was too scared to leave the house or to show her face in general. Thankfully it hadn't been released, however. After finding out about the threat and video, her younger cousin Elizabeth used a tie she had with a hacker friend to remove the video and ensure that it never existed in the first place; but even after that, Aurelie has always become much, much more cautious in public. Though she doesn't come off as such, has an underlying paranoia around cameras.
[break][break]
I guess I really can’t dodge it this time
✎ After the events with Reagan and Eric, Aurelie was compelled to tell Reagan's current boyfriend at the time - Tae - about her actions behind both their backs. This was an act of both revenge and concern for Tae, because she pitied him. She didn't want him to go through the same surprise and shock that she had gone through, hence why she had no qualms in pulling him aside to spill the beans. Whereas he was skeptical about her claims at first, that didn't change the fact that he couldn't brush her words like they were nothing. True to what she said, Tae eventually found out that Reagan had been cheating on him for the past six years; leaving Tae devastated. [break][break]
✎ After that series of events, Aurelie attempted to support Tae the same way he supported her. She grew closer to both Tae and Ji-Yeon, visiting them both more often with that regular smile on her face. Aurelie however, was intent on keeping her drinking habits a secret from the both of them. When she was invite out to drink, she'd often turn the offer down due to previous issues and the like. However one day, she found that Tae had been acting off. It wasn't long until she found out that he was still seeing Reagan; much to Aurelie's disdain. Many scoldings were given on that day, and as time went on, she began to defend Tae from Reagan the majority of the time she was there. Seeing that the two of them were in the same industry and shared the same profession, the two of them developed an intense rivalry - along with a mutual dislike and tension. [break][break]
✎ Later on that year, she and her cousins moved over to Lyeant after the war had ended. This was both because Angelica's husband - Christopher - had work in the recently recovering region and Angelica herself found his intention to be noble; noble enough to follow him.
[break][break]
Mayday! Tell me who I really am, did you figure out-
✎ More recently however, is news regarding her youngest cousin; Elizabeth Chastain. Aurelie grew closer to Lizzy as the two of them shared a concern over Angelica's ever wavering mentality, working together in attempts to help her. However she noticed that Elizabeth had been paying close attention to her screen, so one day she went into her room to take a look while she wasn't home. There, she had found out various notes scribbled on note pads and papers, containing information that was gathered on one person. The woman learned that her youngest cousin had been spying on Angelica's husband, Christopher. And say; the things that she found were baffling to say the least. [break][break]
✎ It was among this information that she found out Angelica was living in blissful ignorance. Whereas Aurelie was aware that her heart was broken from a boyfriend cheating on her, she found that Christopher had been cheating on Angelica for years on end; for the past fourteen years through their dating phases and even through their marriage. Aurelie could only stare at this information in near disbelief until she turned on a screen. There, she found a camera that was bugged onto Lizzy's necklace - a precious gift that was given to her from Angelica. The moment that she turned the camera on, however, she found the face of Christopher getting alarmingly close to Lizzy. She witnessed the man attempting to assault the young high schooler, and Aurelie could already feel her blood boiling. [break][break]
✎ Then she heard a crash through the feed. In Lizzy's hand was a broken beaker that she used to attack the man with to defend herself. It wasn't long until she found the girl leaning back, and she could see through the feed that she was leaning out of a window. With a strong shove, the man snatched the necklace and held it in his hand. With final, taunting words, he directed the camera over to Lizzy, who was being held just outside the window. The sight horrified Aurelie and before she could get up and do anything else, she watched as her little cousin fell to her death. [break][break]
✎ And though Christopher broke the lens, she could still hear through the tiny speaker. She was able to hear the talking as the man slipped the necklace into his pocket, spouting lies and slander to his co-worker, Vivian. What pissed her off was how Vivian could believe him so easily, but at the same time, she found herself taking a deep breath before redirecting her anger onto the man. When night fell, however, she learned that he was using the other teacher as just another side piece. As she listened in, she grew to believe that the younger teacher genuinely loved Chris-- Which only prompted Aurelie to dislike him all the more. But even then, she knew that Angelica possibly.. Wouldn't believe her. Therefore, Aurelie focused more on trying to stabilize Angelica while doing her best to keep her away from her husband.
[break][break]
the me you knew was just a sham?
✎ Currently, Aurelie has aligned herself with the Republic and is still living with Angelica; more to pay closer attention to her mentality. It was there where she started to learn why Elizabeth was so worried about her. She learned that Angelica suffered from severe psychosis and schizophrenia, and was suspected to show signs of an ever-growing psychopathy. While it wasn't apparent through interaction, she was quick to learn that Angelica wasn't the little angel that the majority made her out to be. Knowing this, Aurelie was even more determined to stay by her side; especially with what could happen to the poor girl when she found out what Christopher was going. In fact, the only thing keeping Aurelie from saying anything is because she knows about the mental toll it would take on Angelica. She doesn't know when the woman will snap nor what will happen when she does. [break][break]
✎ Aurelie began acting on her own as a freelance DJ, however she has worked with other musicians in Lyeant. She's trying to make a decent living with her career, while also balancing out her social life an her own personal issues. Though the war hasn't affected her as much - nor has her alignment - her values are still there and - surprisingly - she's willing to fight for her cause should the event demand her to.
there is nothing left to take, but i still try to reach. try to swallow it all down, yet i can't seem to breathe. just a single pill of mine, nothing else would suffice - i take it in, now i'm alive. my phone is set on lock, and i don't really care. there's a tangle and a knot that i cannot repair. i'm a tragedy, i'm ugly, i'm trying to hide. i say "hello", then wave "goodbye". see me fall down - let me die here slowly. nothing goes right, not a trace of honestly. i'm to blame, so i'll remain. black, white; day, night; it's all the same. see it run down - cut away, no worries. say no more. i can surely say that i've had enough. i still refuse to believe.

PLOT IDEA #2 lay me right down, let me sleep, i'm restless. cover my eyes. when i'm up, i'll finally fade away, here, today. give me a reason: then i'll stay. if i could fly, if for only a moment, there wouldn't be such a need for casualty. i'm alone, and that is how it'll be.
