Character Room Descriptions - Please Reply
Over in the new board I'm making the characters individual rooms (here) (much like the 'couple dorms' we had and still have here, which can be pass worded if mature writing is taking place) and this is inside the main Team dormitory forum itself, making it easier in some ways but a bit more cluttered I guess in the admins menu thingy.. which I apologize if that's annoying for anyone
For example (click) I've given each team their own list of rooms to save people getting confused, we'll try and work up descriptions for the main rooms themselves but it's time consuming and I'm lazy and tired and all this work is a bit much to do on my own. I figured it'd be great if people helped by making up their own room descriptions, just to flesh out the forum and help others in their team know what their team mates rooms are like should they ever happen to enter or see into them.
I'll work on the main team areas myself but later.. I want to also try and get some Brotherhood things fleshed out and hopefully we can get some life down there as well. I had an idea of having the brotherhood obtain Crystal, a mutant I made a while back who can create precious gems. She could help put in some much needed cash to help push the brother up in their finances and give them some extra ompf with their more commonly dismal cashflow. Without Mystique there they'll have no money and so I figure it could not only be a chance to help finance the brotherhood off the ground, but also get them another member who'll be pleasant and loyal to her fellow brotherhood members.
Anyway, that's so far off topic right there, I'm so proud of myself, I side tracked the topic of the topic before Ieven posted it xD Anyway... er.. I'll start up another thread regarding that, please trrrrrrry and focus on the descriptions of your characters rooms. Everyone will have rooms, even if you don't use it we'll add your name just incase there comes a time you want to post in your room...(hey, it doesn't only have to be shifty, you can have people over without the shiftiness ya know.. xD)
For Allan: Not exactly messy but there are a few clothes strewn about here and there. His hoverboard sits in its compacted mode propped up against his closet, his study desk is a mess of papers and random things. His walls have a few posters, one of Alien Ant Farm, one of Less Than Jake, one of Jimmy Eat World and one of Tenacious D. His dresser and closest are extremely organized and well kept, despite the fact that some of his clothes dont always make it into them. His computer sits to the side of the study desk with the moniter on the desk, these two thing may be the only thing Allan actually takes care of.
For Illidan(If Gets a Room): A pair of heavy drapes cover the window, allowing no light in, his bed is spacious and adorned with seemingly ancient though well kept sheets. There is also a large comfortable chair in his room that looks as old as his sheets. Thousands of books adourn his shelves and walls and deks. His fencing gear is kept in his closet amoung his souvenirs from all the places and time periods he had lived through. His clothing is kept in the dresser and underneath them is a painting of his mortal family.
Re: Character Room Descriptions - Please ReplyTessa Macneil:
Warm and with a distinct 'homey' feel to it is Tessa's room. Her walls are painted in her favourite colour, lavender, and around Christmas she strings Christmas lights around the top of her room that give it a pleasant glow. When weather permits her window is left open. Her bedside table contains her portable music player, a potted plant, and a good lamp so she has sample light to read. A picture of her adoptive parents is stuck into the frame of the mirror over her dresser. Tess can be a pack rat and several artifacts, including a friendship candle and a few stuffed animals, are neatly placed around the room, each one meaning something to her and making the room distinctly hers.
Murray Grey:
This sparsely decorated room belongs to Murray. He has few personal belongings of great importance and keeps what he does retain in organized files. Although the room has very little decoration and keeps to a dull colour scheme of blue-greys,greys and blacks and it does have many pictures. Murray keeps an album and a frame of pictures with his family on his table, although he tucks the album away when others come into his room. His guitar case is propped against the wall in one corner and his shelf contains books on myth, writing and languages.
Fred Mason:
Having not really lived on her own before much, and she counts this as on her own, Fred's room is a little disorganized. Although she doesn't need to eat a stash of junk food is kept in her bedside table drawer for when she feels a craving. A lone photo of her family from her last life sits on her mantle. She hasn't accumulated many belongings but she keeps everything she does get so her room has some decoration in the form of odds and ends. The one thing she does treasure is a bookshelf containing her favourites from childhood and her favourites now.
Jess Mariano:
This room contains photos, of an amateur photographer quality, of the sights in New York City (bagel stand included) yet the pictures never contain people. Jess is one of the few to not have any photos of his family. His room could be mistaken for a library for the majority of space is taken up by books, some secondhand and others so worn from use that they look secondhand. His music collection, also large, is displayed on a stand by the slate blue walls.
Kaitlyn Davies:
The walls are adorned with framed posters of stage shows and broadway musicals. This neatly kept room has few personal touches in way of photos or belongings except for copies of plays and books she has read or performed in and the posters which show her passion for the stage. No remembrances of family and she keeps anything of perceived value in drawers away from curious eyes. A container of money, not that there is much, sits in her top drawer as do a few newspaper clippings, reviews of the shows she has been in.

Armaan:
Clean and sparsely decorated, Armaan's room reflects the Afghan's need for an airy, open living space. Very few items are left out in the open, as most of his belongings are either packed away into his closet, or are stored inside his drawers. He has no posters on his walls, and he has kept the room in basically the same condition it was given to him: white walls with the basic furniture pieces. He has a dark blue quilt over his bed and a few pillows, along with an Afghani patch shawl. In one corner, upon his chest of drawers, rests his Quran, his prayer mat and his other religious books and items.
(Im guesing this would be his new Gen X dorm room, yes?)
Re: Character Room Descriptions - Please Reply
One look inside Torrie's dorm and you'll probably be too scared to enter for fear that you'd drown in the sea of clothes, books, and other random items scattered across her floor and bed. Torrence's personality is very evident in her bedroom as it is in her appearance. Unkempt, disheveled, though not necessarily unclean. Her bed is a small twin size, but just big enough for two people to lay on their sides together on it, and Torrie figures that's good enough for her. A small desk with papers, pencils, and her laptop sit at the foot of her bed, and there's a green dresser on the other side of the room. Her walls are a dark green color, and when you actually see it, the carpet is matching.
There are posters everywhere. Her favorite bands, movies, people. Pictures of friends, distant family, Olivia, teachers. Anyone that has ever meant something to Torrie has a place on her wall. There's a window on the opposite wall from her door, with an inner ledge just large enough for Torrence to sit on and stare outside, and there's an odd assortment of feather pillows placed there for comfort. Christmas lights are stapled neatly and decoratively where the wall meets the ceiling, and when the regular lights are off, they make the room glow almost magically. Overall, the room just screams 'Torrence', and it's a very homey place for those that are there often enough to not be shocked by the mess she leaves.

Uz - Yeah, his Gen X dorm room -nods
She who deprives the Angie of Torrie Posties - I'd definitely not accept any longer, lol. but I'm sure no one will mind having that amount of detail. lol
I'll put it up later, I'm waiting for more guys to write out their room descriptions so I can do a few at once on a day I have off. Thakns for those who are taking that time to write things out!
Re: Character Room Descriptions - Please Reply
Short OT note before I'm gonna try and think (and we all know how hard that is for me XD): wouldn't this topic be a typical RP Talk thing? Just asking coz some players might shun General Discussion because they aren't into random babble *shuns them in return* XD
I think I've stated bits about some rooms, but fortunately people are moving to the team dorms anyway... so yay!
Ororo Munroe - Storm: As one of the older members, Storm has been lucky to claim the part of the mansion that suits her needs best. Although her claustrophobia has become so much better over the years, living in the attic with its high ceiling and large roof windows is still so much better than knowing several floors to be above her. It is in fact much like sleeping out in the open, underneath the stars.
The apartment itself is decorated and furnished in a way that speaks of her ethnicity. Warm earthtones, woods of different shades and the red of autumn leaves - it all creates the atmosphere of a pleasant September's day without being 'ethnic' in an exaggerated way, but rather in the subtle impression it grants.
Anna Marie - Rogue: Framed photos of friends present and past, memorabilia - you can tell whoever lives here values memories highly. The room is furnishes in a rather simple way, but somewhat cosy nonetheless with its country house charm of wood and linen.
A bunch of flowers is almost always sure to adorn the plain table that has apparently very recently taken to being cluttered with books as its owner tries to do something against her lack of higher education. A bookcase is missing yet, just a wardrobe and some shelves... that's it.
Aurora Garnet Ferelle - Circe: Don't be fooled by the apparent simplicity of this room. It may not be of baroque splendour but the furnishing is most-likely comparably pricy, only second to the combined high-tech computer/sound system fitting in seamlessly.
The few pieces of furniture that are in there have a very modern look to them, the old-style painting standing in such strong a contrast to the rest that it's already fitting again. The curtains are light, friendly and a little sexy - just like Garnet. ... well, ok, maybe that's a bad simile.
Despite its decor, the room is not cold, though maybe not the definition of warm and welcoming either. It's somewhere it between, subconscious status symbol, protective cloak and refuge. Not everybody will be allowed in here...
Matthias Evans - Contrast: It's obvious that whoever is living here doesn't have much money, but tried to make the best of what he's got. The bed isn't exactly kingsize but two people can still lie in in comfortably, luxury that Matt couldn't refuse himself to have.The bedclothes tend to be black, but since they are rather expensive, he's only got one set and those have to go in the laundry every now and then.
The stereo system is simple but sufficient, like everything else in the room. A few art prints, nothing well-known, decorate the walls of this overall quite cosily furnished room. Curtains in an unobtrusive shade of red tint the incoming light a pleasant colour when they're drawn shut, increasing this feeling of home that if slowly building up in this room's occupant.
Oh and don't forget the CDs! Lots of CDs... actually that, the number of books and his laptop are already telling more about him than anything else. It's a little sad he's so easy to figure out..
Kane Munroe - Tempest: Spartanic is the only term that can describe this room. Afraid of giving away anything about him, Kane changed nothing to the generic set-up of his room, except for the few clothes he possesses and neatly stored in the wardrobe and the items he got as an X-team member in training, like the power inhibitor he dares to take off more often these days.
There is nothing much to say about this room other than it seems as if somebody had either just moved in or was about to leave again. Either way there's not much in it giving away that it's occupied...
And so she bowed to what she thought was fate and neglected the last of humanity's ancient lies
Re: Character Room Descriptions - Please ReplyIsaura da Costa-Heavy shades in dark green over the window, bordered in yellow stripes. Her unmade med is draped with a comforter green on one side and yellow on the other while her pillow seems to be from a completely different bed set, white with blue spots in comparison to her blue sheets. In truth, the sheets that match the comforter are somewhere dumped in one corner, buried in a few forgotten articles of clothing. Clothes are usually stacked up on the floor or in a laundry basket, all ready to wear straight from the dryer.
Funny enough, her dresser seems to be full of anything but clothes. She jams everything else in the closed spaces. A soccer ball and cleats usually lie on the floor, and her posters are mostly of soccer players and movies.
Lenora Delaney- Meticuliously kept neat, even the pencils in the cup on her desk have to match. On her walls hang a couple pictures of some pretty landscape, but her room is otherwise pretty bare. Framed photoes neatly line the top of her dresser, and not even a sock hangs from hastily closed drawers. It all looks a little dull, but it's orderly. She even made sure her pale green curtains matched her bedsheets.
One of my usual questions- For Kiana, would she be sharing rooms with any of the younger kids? Or anyone WANTS to share with her?
Re: Character Room Descriptions - Please ReplyKylora Spens Chambers: Kylora's room is both almost cluttered and mostly tidy. Her walls are lavender with airy and light crinkled cotton curtains in a sage color with silver curtain rods that have a single ivy leaf at both ends. They are tied back with vines of an ivy plant that sits in the middle of window sill. There's a window seat underneath her window, with a light greenish blue cushion on top, that holds numerous books, her sketchbooks, and such. The top of her walls has Christmas lights that she turns on at night before she turns off her lights. She has a clothes hamper in a corner for her dirty clothes.
She has a tall antique lamp that stands on one side of her bed, while a night stand sits on the other with her radio alarm clock and a flower fairy laying down to read on a clear riser beside it. Her bed is an extra long full with a silky purple quilt with wide stripes of shades of purples and flowers embroidered on it in shades of pinks, lavenders, silver, creams, and greens. The sheets sets that she uses are of a high thread-count in shades of cream, mint or sage green, light blue, and lightest petal pink.
Her walls have a collage frame set with various pictures and sketches, of all the friends she's had from all around Europe and the U.S. and of the places themselves (really of her favorites spots and such). The silver collage frames, that sit on branches of a silver oak tree, are centered on the walls and branch out to about a yard from the ends. They all compact into a small frame (that weighs about five pounds) if you press down the middle root of the tree. Her shelves hold a few flower fairies, scented candles, and some of her favorite books. Various assortments of plants hang from hooks in a corner where the sunlight streams in and also on a corner shelf. A single photo album sits on her desk next to her computer and portable music player.
Aldrea Hawk: Aldrea's room is a soothing seafoam blue. She has an assortment of various bits of tech around her desk, along with a silver toolbox decorated with butterflies by her friends. She has various articles of clothing strewn here and there around her clothes hamper. A tall bronze lamp stands on the right side of her bed while a white side table stands on the other side, holding her projector lamp that usually projects the shapes of fish in various colors around the room and a radio alarm clock. Various photos adorn the walls. Some are electronic and change pictures every other minute and some are in various odd shapes. Her curtains are an airy crinkly cream color with mint green ribbons holding them back and the curtain rods are bronze with fish tail tips.
Her fluffy sateen light cyan-colored quilted comforter with matching shams goes over her durable moderately high thread counted sheets (all bedding always found on sale) this week in a shade of light greenish blue. The rest are in cream, pink, lavender, and mint. A single light bluish-grey dolfin sits on her bed in front of a small velvety teal accent pillow with irredescent beaded tassels at the corners. Her shelves have various books of various wear. Some are how-to books, and some are old favorites and new. She also has various scented candles here and there around the room. In a corner by the window, she has a small rocking chair upholstered in a dark aqua blue with a green stripe going down the middle and dark wood on the sides and the legs.
Elaina Griffin: Elaina's room is a creamy white with sheer pale turquoise curtains that are held back by tassels in teal and green. Most of her books are in her office, but a few of her absolute favorites adorn her shelves, along with various angels. A few pictures of family, friends, articles, and places she's been are scattered in frames along the walls in various frames and such. Her desk is neatly organized with stacks of papers she's graded and those she hasn't. The space above her desk holds various drawings from her previous students and the desk itself has a knick-knack here and there given to her from one of her classes over the years. Above her bed, she has a single collector's edition painting of Aslan standing with the four Pevensie children and Mr. Tumnus on a grassy plateau overlooking the Lantern Waste with various tents in the background dotting the countryside.
Her bed is adorned with a sateen cotton light bluish turquoise comforter with a ivory solid section in the center and ivory border. The turquoise framing edges have an intricantly done elegant flowery ivy-like embroidery in ivory and center is quilted in a swirly pattern. The edges of her matching ivory sheets have the same embroidery in light turquoise green as the comforter and it has matching embroidered shams and pillowcases in various combinations of the color scheme of the bedding set. Her other sets of sheets are creamy or sage green and even white, in high thread counts. She has a tall silver antiqued lamp with a cream colored shade on her left side and a night stand on the right side with an alarm clock and a stack of books on which a Disney's Beauty and the Beast musical snowglobe stands (the one in which the two are looking at the glass rose [it lights up!]). There are a few pieces of clothing shoved in a corner here and there (jeans worn only a few hours) and a clothes hamper within the moderately neat room. Nadia Mennes LeBeau: Does Nadia share a room with her father (maybe a corner has her bed?) or does she have her own room, Uzi?
Re: Character Room Descriptions - Please Reply
Neutral without being bland Michael’s room is comfortable even if it isn’t exactly what you would call homely. Once he gets some money together he should be able to personalise it but at the moment, apart from the inevitable books (from the library) sitting on the desk the only really personal object he possesses is the bed light that his team mate Scott gave him. This is really remarkable, a crystal globe of fairy origin set on a delicate sculpted stand. When it is lit it transforms the room making it almost beautiful. And distracting you from the adaptations made to accommodate Michael’s physical problems.
Rails, set at hand height line the walls. The light main lights have switches but are also voice activated. All storage space is easily accessible for him meaning that he doesn’t have to bend down either to put away his clothes…not that he has many of those either, or to store his school stuff.
Set on the far wall is another door, leading to a bathroom larger and more spacious than normal giving him the room he needs to manoeuvre on the awkward crutches. The walk in shower is also voice activated, and has helpful rails all around to keep him safe from falling plus a pull down seat which folds up against the wall just in case staying upright proves to be too much of a challenge after a full day at the Institute.
Michael’s room is normally tidy… definitely nothing lying around the floor….unless he dropped it and can pick it up.Otherwise… clutter is dangerous when your not all that mobile and he doesn’t take chances.
