Character Name: Dolphin
Series: DC Comics
Gender: Female
Age & Canon Point: The morning after issue #39 of The Titans. Age by physically or mentally? Physically, she's about twenty-one. Mentally, she's supposed to be at least over forty, but she's so naive and innocent that she's rating in twenties.

Requested Sponsor: No sponsor.
Entry position (Cadet, SeeD, Instructor, other): Dean's Secretary.

History: assessed history.

Abilities & Physical Abnormalities: Dolphin has gills on the sides of her neck. They appear in water, and disappear on land. She's capable of spending long increments of time upon the surface, but needs at least two trips to the water every week, or else she dries out and becomes ill.

Dolphin also has a Dolphin Cry, where she can scream at such a pitch that it can both damage hearing, and shatter objects, such as glass or in certain cases, plastic. She cannot focus the damage of the attack, so all those in the vicinity can suffer damage as well.

Personality: Dolphin is not sure herself what her personality should be. To be truthful, she's shy, naive, and she sometimes has trouble understanding what's happening. But this has never stopped her from rushing into a fight for the greater good. True that, when she became pregnant, she became bonded with the sidelines, but she still tries to be of help.

She's a bit skittish due to her instincts, turning this way and that and starting at the tick sound of a pin dropping. Her heightened senses don't help her paranoia either. She's more than alert when in a general setting, and even if it's just a whisper or sigh, she can hear everything within a few yard radius. Thanks to this, she can be very insecure with herself, reflecting on how other's view her presence. In Atlantis, she was very aware of the whispers and gossip surrounding her moving on from King Orin to Prince Garth, and while she cares not a jot for the opinions surrounding her love for Garth, she cares very much for how those opinions reflect upon her husband. Dolphin strives to be more aware of the society Garth was raised within, through learning fun facts and basic land-dweller trivia, to how to use a stove or computer like her fellow Titans females, Donna and Lilith. While Dolphin knows that she is just as lovely as either woman (or even more so if vanity pops into her brain), she envies how comfortable the women are with living upon land, while Dolphin still struggles. However, she is aware that, should the women come to Atlantis, they would have just as much trouble adapting.

While she's still very young mentally, Dolphin has strong maternal beliefs and works with great effort in her role as mother to Cerdian. She fears for his safety, and doesn't like to be away from his side for too long. This has been humorously called "First Time Mother Instincts", something of which Dolphin takes seriously. She is trying to put more trust into the Titans, regarding their childrearing skills, and looks especially to little Lian Harper for hope. She wants desperately to be a part of the Titans' family that her husband grew up within, but she also dearly wants her son to be free of all the dangers that the Titans' families face. It's a tug-of-war, and it usually ends with Tempest having to pull his fretting wife to the side, and remind her that the Titans won't let anything happen to their child, and if something should happen, that they will always bring Cerdian back into Dolphin's arms. With a shaky smile, she agrees and prays to Poseidon that her baby will be safe.

That all aside, Dolphin is a very happy young lady. When she's comfortable, and can find her soft place to relax, she can cater to common chores and be casual without anxious issues. She enjoys movies, games, and day just reading and writing and drawing. She enjoys participating in the kind of casual "normal" activities that the dwellers of the surface enjoy. She doesn't mind a day of doing nothing, so long as she has the ability to still do things.

What are your plans for the character in-game?
I would love for Dolphin to work as secretarial management, organizing books, filling out papers, talking to patrons, and also move about campus and communicate with students and faculty alike. She works best when she can feel comfortable around other people. Back home, Dolphin is still technically a newcomer to the surface world, so she's still unaware of various cultures and subcultures that exist on land. It would be good if Dolphin can get know all the different cultures that exist above her water paradise.

Anything else?
Nothing really.


i) IC Questionnaire
What do you prefer to be known as?
You can call me Dolphin. Just Dolphin, please.

How old are you?
Uh, [a chuckle] You're gonna laugh at this because...I don't really know.

Do you have any history in combat?
Yes! I do! I used to help the King of Atlantis defend our Atlantica. But then I came to the surface. Also. My husband is even a crime fighter. His name is Tempest and he works with the Teen Titans upon the surface.

If so, have you ever killed?
I've...really not thought of it in a while.

i) How do you feel when you get involved in some project that calls for immediate and rapid activity?
It needs to get done! Like right away! You can't put it off or else things might get more complicated. I mean...if you get it done right then and there, then you can move on and do other stuff! It's just...just so dumb to ignore something.

ii) Do you organize and initiate leisure activities?
I try to. Usually the other girls in the Tower do that, but I like to help and cater when things start moving.

iii) What role do you take when working in a group?
Whatever...role I need to take. I don't like taking charge. I'm not a natural leader, or a leader of any kind, unless you count being a mother to my son, Cerdian.

iv) How talkative are you around other people?
I admit that I can be shy and don't really respond in huge, loud gatherings. Like those dance clubs...the other girls in the Tower love going to those clubs, and they always have a wonderful time, but I don't really feel comfortable in those settings. It's always so loud, and there's some weird smells and people who aren't really sensitive to personal space.

v) What three things would you want to have with you on a desert island? State your reasoning.
A deserted island? I wouldn't really need anything. I'm sure I could just get back into the water and swim away to nearest land and then get back home.

vi) Is it important to be liked by a wide range of people?
I think it's important to have some friends. But you can't befriend everyone. There are going to people who don't like you. And there isn't anything you can really do about that, except tolerate them.

vii) When the odds are against you, is it worth taking a chance?
It's important to be able to take a chance. It's a necessity in life.

viii) Do you consider yourself to be an impulsive person?
Sometimes! I'm not really a good judge of that, though. I think my husband would know far better than me. Because...you don't really remember how you really act after a while, right?

ix) Would you agree that planning things ahead takes the fun out of life?
Well, sometimes it isn't exactly exciting to plan everything out. It does take "the fun out" sometimes, but it also helps people avoid any extreme issues or deflect any faults.

x) Do you like surprises?
Uhm, sure! So long as it doesn't jump out of the dark alley at me.

xi) Do you sometimes wonder if there is something wrong with you?
I'm sorry. I don't feel comfortable answering that. Can we skip this question, please?

xii) Do you consider yourself to be smarter than your superiors, and disagree with their decisions?
Not...really.

xiii) Lastly, how do you feel about cabbages?
...that is food, right?

iii) Bracket/Commentspam RP sample (can be general or a response to the post's prompt).
