Modern!Verse May’s “Caretakers”

So, as I’ve said, May pretty much grew up (after her parents died) taken care of by any and all of the homeless that were in the same area as she was. As such, she has picked up some lingo from different groups. I need to do more research, but I do know army veterans are one type. So, sometimes she may use army lingo. I’ll do this post later because internet is being horrible and it’s taking forever to type this post.

Do they like telling scary stories?

Question for the whole team.

Do they like telling scary stories?

Sam

    Noooo, ah no. This is just not fun for her. She doesn't like horror stories to begin with. Now the exception here is for the normal_life!verse or apple pie!verse where Dominic, Sam’s brother, has had a bigger influence on her. She’ll like telling scary stories to scare people, even making dramatic noises to try and creep them out.

Danny

       Well, first off he’s not very good at them. However, he does like hearing them. He’s tried to tell them before, but after realizing the little effect he had as a story-teller he didn’t really care to do it anymore.

Balder

       Yes. Ann and him would tell scary stories to each other all the time, although as they got older they started to drop out of that habit. Well, except for when they were out at night hunting or patrolling. He tries to make his up on the spot, but sometimes this leads to really long pauses in the story.

Ann

       Yes. She loves telling them. One of her favorite things about joining the team is when they’re out at night and nothing is happening so she starts telling a scary story, usually one she read earlier on creepy pasta or a similar site. She’s actually the best story teller because of how she adds dramatic pauses and changes her voice for certain parts.

Vincent

       No. He just doesn't like telling stories, and he’s especially not one for telling scary stories. However, his flat delivers can actually be pretty creepy when the story is really grimacing and the whole time he just keeps this monotone throughout it.

May

       Hmm, kind of. She does like telling stories in general and can have fun telling a scary story. However, she won’t tell several in a row because the genre tires her out. She gets emotionally invested in the stories she tells, which will make her pretty good at them, but the more stressful or scary the story the more easily she gets tired out from telling them. She likes telling them, but she doesn’t like being the sole entertainer for everyone else.

0 5 . 1 8 . 1 4

I am really done.  With you, who won’t even notice my absence since “I’m so important for you” that you might need days to realize I’m gone. With everyone, because I can’t handle to feel so tied up by what people think or may think of me. With myself, a never ending source of disappointments since the day I was born. I’m just really not meant for this world, no matter how hard I try to mold myself to fit it. I just can’t. I can’t go on feeling the overwhelming weight of everything that happened around me; I can’t even get out without feeling everything that’s around me, be it people’s emotions, thoughts, their imperceptible actions, their secrets, the crisis, the wars, the politics, the injustices on every social level, the reflex of the sun blinding my sight, the heat, the cold, the abyssal difference from a place to another even if they are just few miles apart, the need I feel for people to be around me and the need I feel to be free. Everything. I think I should just learn to cover my eyes and my ears and live like most of humans do, letting what does not concern myself slip away without even touching me, leaving me impassible and selfish but I can’t. I don’t know how to end this, it’s like an unceasing murmuring of the world speaking to me, it’s strong and I can’t stop it. It’s hard to cope with it. I’m done with everyone. I’m done being taken for granted by the ones I gave the most to. I’m done giving the wrong impression just because I don’t want to speak using too long sentences because people gets quickly bored to listen. I’m done having to control everything I do because it could be wrong by any perspective you look at it. I’m just done. And tired. My body feel so heavy right now. I don’t know what to do.

Quick AboutMay

So, yes I've established earlier that May is Indian.

What I left out is that her first name is actually Maya. In Hindu philosophy it means "Illusion." Which you know, is why I picked it for her name.

What?

....

You want to know her LAST name?

Pssssssssssh, I haven't figured THAT out yet.

May's Origins

Just about her nationality and appearance.

So here's kid!May.

And after going through a brief history review of Europe around 1850, I now remember that she is from India. Basically after how poorly the Indian Rebellion of 1857 went her parents moved with little May to the UK. Where they then died pretty quickly, and May became a conniving, thieving kid living on the street.

This is a big story that I'm not getting into now, but basically that is how May looks and her nationality.

NOW

Modern!May is different. She still looks essentially the same, although her features are a bit more from Latino or South America rather than from India.

I couldn't find a good picture of the right skin tone, it should be darker, but oh well. My point is, she should look like she's from Central or South America, but at the same time she barely looks different from the normal version of herself (who is Indian).

I have changed her genetics making her from Latin America. Because I want where she's from to represent something in relation to the country she is currently in.

Being Indian is important to the normal version of her because of the whole being a colony of Britain and also how the women got portrayed as exotic.

And Modern!May being Latin American is also important because okay, while I may not be exactly sure on how heavily the sexual exotic-ness of Indian women were in the 1800s, I DO know that in America today Latino women are portrayed as some sort of exotic sexual object because of being Latino.

NOTE NOTE NOTE

MAY'S SKIN COLOR DOES NOT CHANGE, HER SKIN COLOR IS SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN THE COLORS OF THE TWO PEOPLE ABOVE. (And the flash on the second picture is really whitening that persons's skin color, so keep that in mind as well.)

About Sam's Friends

Alright so this is going to be a basic rundown on the 5 of them and what you should know about them.

Georgeann (Ann) and Balder are siblings.

You all should have sympathy for Danny because Danny knew Sam before she lost her memory and dangit Sam makes it really painful on Danny.

I ship May and Vincent, but that's not going to be in the story for a while. HOWEVER, you all know how I always have the true love story ending in death- well plotting wise those two are still alive which is impressive.

Balder is super smart and amazing.

May is possibly the most dynamic character in the story. Also the most cunning/sly.

Vincent has a mental issue, but I'm still working on that. He is also a great strategist/planner.

Danny is kind of the leader of the 6 of them, at the very least he's the organizer.

Also out of the 6 of them...one of them has been plotted to die. Okay, okay. I already said May and Vincent hasn't been plotted to die yet so revision.

Out of Ann, Balder, Danny, and Sam....one of them has been plotted to die. Honestly, I don't think anybody knows who. But that may be because I haven't put the first chapter up yet...so.

So, I am going to start tagging the rest of group with stuff. If you don't care about the group at all don't worry.

So, as the one or two people reading this probably know by now. Sam was travelling with 5 other people, but left due to a fight and is now travelling alone. Which is where Sam is currently placed for roleplay.

I am going to start tagging the rest of the group. In other words, I will start putting out things about the group and everyone else in it. For example a 'Things About May' post would have - May, aboutMay- as the tags, while a 'Things about Group' post would have all their names and aboutNames in it. Also I will be having a music tag for everyone + the group as a whole.

Special Note: Georgeann will become 'Ann' and 'aboutAnn' in the tags.

Now at this point the whole group is close enough to call each other friends. There is, excluding Sam, 5 of them: Danny, May, Vincent, Georgeann, Balder.

Georgeanne and Balder are siblings and I'm having trouble with picking a surname so their first names may change.

Now I generally just call them the group, but a quick summary on how close everyone is to each other since the summary of them on my page is probably very bad at the moment but if you want to actually KNOW about them then you can go there. Now, at this point they are all close enough to call each other friends.

May- most close to Vincent, but she is still close to the rest. Prior to group she only talked to Vincent as he worked at the Organization building. After Vincent she is likely to talk with Georgean and Sam.

Danny- At the current timeline he is dynamic in how he interacts with everyone since he was the one who had a fight with Sam. Some things for reference- he brought the group together, he has known Sam for like 4 years, but Sam doesn't remember him. Before the fight he would try to talk to Sam, but after a bit he talks to Balder or Vincent.

Vincent- he is reserved, but close to May. Everyone else he is not that bg talking wise. After May he is likely to talk with Danny or Sam.

Georgeann- Most close to her brother, Balder. However this doesn't detract from her interacting with the rest of the group. After her bro, she is likely to talk with May or Sam.

Balder- I don't want to say 'most close' but they(Balder+Georgeann) have an unbreakable bond that you can feel in the air. He generally talks to Vincent about strategical stuff, but on a personal way- after his sis, he is likely to talk to Danny.

However just because they are likely to talk to certain people doesn't detract from the group as a whole. Generally they all talk together as a group, but you know how groups will sometimes split up in a store, that's what I mean.

Oh yeah, I should mention that Sam and Danny were dating before she got Amnesia.
