Victoria T. Foster Female||20||Bisexual||Single||Empathy Assimilation
Hey! So I guess I'm here to talk about myself, huh? I'm not really good at that but I'll just list some things off for you. or something. My name is Tori- it's a pleasure to meet you. I have pet rats named Scitters and Scatters- they're my babies. I love them so, so much. Sorry if you don't like rodents... I guess just stay out of my dorm and you'll be fine. Uhm, some of my hobbies are photography and singing. Actually, those are my only hobbies. I hope that's not boring. Or lame. Wow, uhm, I really don't know what else to say. But, if you want to go for coffee or for a walk or anything just let me know. Thanks for listening!

*Bursts in*
Greetings and salu-*cough cough*-tations my friend! I am Wiz the Liz! And I bring with me an array of strange characters to totally attack yours!
I have the lord of nerds Barry, the sexy latin physics teacher Carmelita, the sarcastic/impassive Logan, the feral wolf Lupe, the for-some-reason obsessed over and stalked Riley, and my tiny badass Valerie.
All of these characters I bring to you today curtesy of the Squigglylizard Corporation to chose at your leisure! Here at the Squigglylizard Co., our main priority is our customer's satisfaction. We offer the service of creating custom threads to suit any of our customers' needs!

Hey there! Welcome to BA, Kenny. I don't know if we've been formally introduced but I'm Bards! Now that we have that taken care of and you've got a shiny new plot page to raid, on to the plotty ideas! As always, you can feel free to pick and choose which characters/ideas you want to go with and I'm always open for new situations to throw my characters into.
Going down the list, I've got Alex who's been sucking up much of my time lately. She's a little quirky, a little geeky, a little on the sometimes awkward, weird side of things but she has a heart of gold. She's a sophomore in college working toward her degree in music production and engineering. Music is her first love, followed closely by her beloved hometown sports teams and the occasional video game binge. She spends a lot of her free time in the music room talking about, listening to, and generally just being around music as a whole. She also works for a burlesque club in town as a performer where she sings during segments of the stage show. It's not only possible, but probably Tori and Alex know each other by virtue of being close to the same age and grade (Alex started school early, hence why she's a young sophomore). Maybe a meet up in the music room or perhaps in town while Alex is heading to work would be a good springboard for a starting thread?
Next up is my Irish import, Taylor. Taylor is the kind of kid in school who simply never took anything seriously. He's a bit of an enigma in that he's charmingly laid back while also having a horrible temper. Granted, it takes an awful lot to push him over but if it should happen, watch out. Taylor's a fairly recent transfer from Bellefonte's sister Academy in the UK, St. Bethany's. He's really only got one friend (if you could call it that) and his estranged brother to keep him company. If Tori ends up dragged to parties or anything of the sort, Taylor will certainly be there and he commonly walks up to strangers (or people he doesn't know well) and starts conversation. Alternatively, Taylor and Tori are the same age. They'd be the same grade or close enough to know of one another. Perhaps they get paired together for some early semester project in a mutual class?
Third on our odyssey is the first of my Academy staff members. Corey is a former soldier in the US Army who is recently returned from an unexpected deployment to the Middle East after he'd already left the military. He's a member of the emergency medical services staff, though when not responding to calls, overseeing a training event or tagging along any Academy field trips, Corey spends his time helping out in the nurse's office. He's a gentle giant of sorts who has surprisingly become sort of a 'papa bear' figure among the students. Corey's nothing if not loyal, understanding and protective. If Tori is in need of a mentor or adult ally, Corey has gone above and beyond the call of duty for the sake of the students he feels are under his care. Likewise, if Tori should happen to get sent to the nurse's office for any reason, she'd probably find him there manning the front desk.
But wait! There's more! We're just now approaching the halfway point of our journey. Next we have who is easily the most misunderstood of my menagerie. Drew is the type of kid on campus that everyone seems to know of, but no one can really attest to knowing him. He's a bit of an enigma in spite of his visibility at the Academy. Aside from a sudden (and very foolish) marriage to one of the Bellefonte (yes those Bellefonte's) clan, Drew had a reputation for having his fingers in many less than legal pies. He spent a great deal of time arranging for his fellow students to receive fake ID's, alcohol, changed grades, protection, surveillance, and he even dabbled in selling drugs. If Tory was the type to partake in any said vices, it's possible Drew could've been her go-to for such things. Going in another direction, Drew is also a college student starting his second year. Much like Taylor, it's possible Drew and Tori could be paired together on a project or meet at a party... though their interactions in either scenario would be much different...
We'll pause for a moment to take a detour to the macabre end of town. Ashley is, easily, my most erratic and disturbed character. She's only recently been cleared to join the rest of the students on campus as she'd been sequestered from the general student body since she was brought to the Academy 4 years ago. She's quiet and generally keeps to herself, though she's trying to break out of her shell. Be warned. Ashley is not you're typical 'shy girl'. She doesn't fear people or their judgement. She fears herself. Ashley is a girl who possesses a kind heart and an equally chaotic mind. She's looking into joining a club and mostly trying to figure out the best way to forge healthy relationships with people. Either a chance encounter in the student lounge or courtyard could kick off her knowing Tori or, alternatively, they could already know each other from around campus. Either way, I have a few minor ideas here if you're interested. It's also possible, given their backgrounds, the two girls could be part of a group therapy session (if Tori's still battling her demons, of course). Ashley could use a friend who understands and she's a remarkably adept listener for someone who needs to vent.
From Ashley, we move to the whirlwind of pure, unbridled emotion and passion that is Isaac. He's another of my creations that knows a thing or two about fighting demons. Isaac was an orphan his entire life and he grew up fighting. Everything. Everywhere. With few exceptions. Beneath an angry exterior beats the heart of someone who's simply confused about the world around them and how they fit into it. He's known for getting into fights and not attending classes, though he has his own reasons for the latter. The Academy has tried to push him toward therapy and seeking help, though he rarely shows up even when ordered. He's the quintessential rebel without a clue. Always fighting but never for any sort of cause. Regardless, he has shown to have a heart underneath his angst-ridden, sometimes violent reputation. He's not the brightest knife in the cupboard, but he wanders around the Academy exploring wherever he can making a chance encounter highly likely. He has a soft spot for those who had difficult times growing up as he feels he can relate to them far more than the 'normal' kids around the Academy.
If you've made it this far, I applaud your will and determination. Hang in there. We're almost through. Brad is coming up next. He's a simple concept to throw at anyone seeing as how he's a recruiter and power trainer at the Academy. If Tory is doing any one-on-one training with her power, it's possible Brad could be the one who's helping her out. He's a little on the... uh... 'quirky' side, though. He takes his job seriously and little else. He's a bit of a man child, though if Tori meets with a councilor, she's probably seen Brad's wife, Beth (shameless plug for my boo, Mel). He's also a former member of the NYPD so he does have a selfless, protective side, should Tori need someone to look out for her.
Finally! We've reached the last of my motley crew. I don't expect you to still be with me but, by the slim chance you are, congratulations! You've managed to put up with me longer than most and for that I have a special trophy and a set of stickers to give you. The final member of my cast of characters is Piper. Piper transferred from St. Bethany's a bit ago and is still trying to find her footing at Bellefonte. She's a soft-spoken, sweet, almost gentle girl who avoids confrontation at all costs. While she's a little younger than Tori, perhaps they met somewhere along the lines and got to know each other? Or, if you'd prefer an initial meeting, Piper makes a habit of attending social events or hanging around where other people are in the hopes of meeting someone who'll end up a friend. She's my newest addition so, admittedly, she has a ways to go before she's fully settled but she can always use more people to interact with!
Wow, the greats have gone before me, now I feel inadequate >_<
But hello! Welcome to BA, Kenny! I'm Nu. You can call me Princess Consuela Bananahammock if you're feeling fancy.
When I read your little blurb thingie, two things jumped at me because I've got two characters who share Tori's hobbies!
Ezra is my huge puppydog with boundless energy who would most likely latch on to Tori like a germ simply because they both love photography. He's majoring in that despite aspiring to become a fire fighter. Go figure. He's also a big nature buff and often goes hiking and trekking and all those stuff to release his energy. So hopefully Tori won't mind him slobbering and yapping all over her ^-^
If it's singing Tori's interested in, Addison, less a puppy than she is a scrappy street cat, is an indie artist who has her own label right here in Kalispell and she's always looking for recruits to sign so maybe she stumbles on Tori's performance somewhere and maybe asks her to jump on board her label?
Should Tori ever find herself in a compromising situation or in any situation where she might be the deer caught in the proverbial headlights, she might have to deal with Reid, Kalispell's 'friendliest' cop. I don't really know what shenanigans Tori could get into but be sure to look over her shoulder that this woman isn't the one who catches her in the act ^-^
Lastly, my Sam is a bit of a wildcard. She's neither friendly, nor happy, nor the most easy to get along with. She's rich though and she has easy access to loads of uh...recreational activity boosters, if ya smell what I'm smoking *winkwink* She's the type to love 'em and leave 'em and since Tori plays for both teams, they might have had a tussle in bed sometime.
So that's my menagerie. If you have any other ideas, feel free to catch me on Chatango at nuaiabear or PM any of my character accounts or just post your reply here or on my own plot page! I'm easy

Greetings Kenny! I have comes to maul your plot page the way I know how.
Of course if you think any of the ideas that I suggest don't work, that is fine. HERE is where all my other characters can be found in case you think up something as well.
Victoria Foster and Devyn: Pretty much Devyn just likes to meet pretty much everyone; especially the shy ones, because she likes to try and help them come out of their shell. Other then her flirting, alpha like behavior, and very much spontaneously showing up to drag her friends off places. She is a very nice and protective person.
Victoria and Roxana: I think these two could possibly get along in the fact that Victoria likes photography, which is a form of art and Roxana is all about the arts (well she would like to be all about them). Anyways, Rox is one of very few words but she is certainly an ally one would want to have and since she is going through this whole 'understanding emotions I think it would be interesting for the both of them. There is also the possibility Rox would possibly later one keep her distance from her because she is wry of any power related to empathy.
Victoria and Erin: While because Victoria is female; which means Erin will crush on her, I'm seeing her also wanting to introduce Victoria to her friend Quinn. Since he likes photography and Victoria likes photography, that seems idea to Erin. Mostly cause she is still getting a hold of the whole friendship thing and would want to try and be a wing-man.
Victoria and Jun-Aaron: They are both college students pretty close in age and he is taking a photography class along with being a professional model. He knows he is a better model then photographer so I could see him going to her for help on photography projects and just better understanding the way his camera works.

Hi there, I'm Bobby and I'll go and attack whatever has been left of you to attack after all this.
First of all, since they have very similar abilities, let me present your François. Franck is an overall sweetheart who shall do everything to make Tori feel good at all times, even if that means going a bit out of character for that. He won't like her only because they share the same power but because he just loves everyone. He can be her confidante without any problem. He can also be funny and encouraging when he has to so he could tell her to keep goign with her passions or just get her out and have some fun, he's ready. He also happens to work part time at a coffee shop in town.
You mentioned love of photography. Well Quinn loves it just as much if not more than she would ever. And he also knows what it's like to have few hobbies in life. He is, however, harder to befriend. In fact, he's not likely to ever consider her that. But he might end up chatting with her. Being a really tough nut to crack, it might not go any futher than that.
I also have dangerous playboy Akeem, doctor (and healer) Jason and the sexy yet grumpy dorm monitor Tamara if you want to have a look at them and thread with them as well.
Post by Victoria Foster on Sept 1, 2015 17:49:59 GMT -6
Oh gosh, so many people want to plot with me <3 Well, I'm open to all sorts of ideas and I'm really bad for choosing just one... so I'm just going to list the ones that I'd like to thread out and (hopefully) you guys can help me pick and choose just a couple each so I'm not killing myself with too many threads right off the get go haha.
I definitely think Tori and Valerie should meet! Valerie is a complete cutie from what I can see and I want her and Tori to interact. I think Tori would try and befriend her after seeing how shy/socially- erm- challenged she is. Tori likes helping people out and she would want Valerie to have a friend who can be there for her and (maybe) teach her about flirting. Ha! The only problem is, I'm not certain where the two could meet. Ideas? Definitely nowhere a track or dumbbell is. Tori is allergic to exercise.
I'm also interested to see how a thread with Logan and Tori would turn out. If Logan is as dismissive with new people as your plotter indicates, it could either put Tori off completely (and, quite honestly, make her feel bad about herself) or it could cause her to try and figure Logan out. Meaning Logan would have to deal with a curious Tori hanging around her and trying to strike up conversation in a clingy fashion. Hey, sometimes we all need threads that could be not-exactly-ideal for our characters.
Riley and Tori should have a thread together at some point but we can always plan to do that in the future.
Yes. Yes! Alex and Tori are meeting. Tori may become infatuated with her knowing that she is into music and does burlesque. Hey, what can she say, Tori loves ladies who entertain. That being said, it's quite likely that Tori would know Alex from school and see her at the Burlesque club. I can't go pretending Tori hasn't been there before.. because that would be lying. It's actually her go to when she wants a night out. Why don't we get them to run into each other by or at the club? That would be a good intro, methinks.
For Taylor and Tori, what class would they share? Tori is more into the arts- particularly art history and photography. Well, that and psychology. But she does go to parties when she's feeling it. It may be better if we thread them at a party but they know each other from class. What do you think?
Tori is definitely the type for drugs and fake IDs and the likes. If Drew is the provider at the academy, it is 99% likely that the two of them are already well acquainted. Tori joined the academy when she was under age after all, right? Same question for him as I had for Taylor- what class could they potentially share? Not sure what Drew is into. But when in doubt, we could thread a party seen where both Drew and Taylor are in, if you're up for it. Why not hit two birds with one stone?
Ashley and Tori are a must! Tori would probably not go to group therapy unless she was forced to. Which is very possible, actually. She never liked talking about her problems and she only started going to counselling when she joined the Academy. Okay, yes, that's 4 years of counselling but when you're forced to do something you don't want to do, do you really expect to get better? Helping yourself requires willingness which she never really had until recently. So yeah, a group therapy session would be a neat idea. She doesn't want anyone to know she struggles with PTSD, though. So maybe a meeting with Ashley would put her on edge. She would want security in knowing that Ashley wouldn't tell anyone that she saw Tori at the group session. What if they both end up in the student lounge and that's when Tori approaches Ashley with the issue? But give me your ideas with these two, I'm dying to hear them~
Isaac and Tori need to meet in the future. Likes attract likes! Wait.. not if you're a- never mind. What I mean is people like to be with people who are similar or who have experienced similar. No ideas are conjuring up for a thread with him at the moment, but I'm certain I want one eventually.
Since Tori is crap at controlling her power, a one-on-one with Brad is very likely. She's definitely a troubled soul but she does her best to hide it. Maybe this trait can play into how their relationship develop?
Ezra sounds like he'd be so much fun to thread with! Is it possible they could have met/meet at the photography club? Tori likes her hobbies to be hers, meaning she doesn't like having people around when she's snapping photos (unless they're in the photo, but her focus isn't people), but it's still likely she'd head to the club to discuss techniques and ask for tips so she can improve on her skills. It would be nice for her to have a friend to talk about that stuff with.
Oh man, if Sam's got the dope then you know these two are gonna smoke. Not to mention the fact Tori likes a little bit of... uhm... late night fun. She's the type to sleep with whoever she finds attractive, especially when she feels she needs to release some tension. Or she feels insecure about herself. Erm, she pretty much is interested if you are. Ha! I'm ready for these two to meet. What sorts of things does Sam do? Like, her hobbies, where does she hang out, etc? If I know, it'll be easier to come up with a place and situation in which Tori and Sam can run into each other.
Tori's a part time troublemaker when things get bad for her. It would be amusing for me for Reid and Tori to get well acquainted thanks to Tori's silly actions. Maybe she catches her smoking dope? Maybe she sees her committing some form of vandalism? It is a grand possibility.
Tori and Roxanne should thread. I love those friendships that are built up only to be broken down. Or have the threat of being destroyed due to things such as fear. It's very exciting. Do you have any inkling of an idea as to where these two could meet? Or would they already be acquainted? It is possible that the two of them could share a class together. Hell, we can even run with the theme here and say they have photography class together- but only if that's a thing Rox is taking.
Yes! Erin and Tori need to thread! I want them to be buddies. A possible thread idea can involve Quinn Wiley~ Why not get a thread going where Erin and Quin are already together and Tori happens to join the picture through whatever situation we decide to throw them in. Thoughts? And if Quinn doesn't want to jump into this idea, I still want to think up a thread with Erin.
If Jun-Aaron is in a photography class with Tori, or if he's part of the photography club, then let's get these two acquainted! I'm sure if he kept asking for her advice and talking with her he'd make her feel very special and good about herself and her photo-taking abilities. That would be a nice slant into a nice friendship.
For Tori and Quinn, see my previous paragraph regarding a possible three person thread (Yay!). If that doesn't work for you, is Quinn apart of the photography club?
I love the whole empath meeting empath thing! A possible thread could be Tori showing up at the coffee shop François works at and that's how the two get acquainted. Maybe François discovers Tori's ability is a form of empathy by feeling her emotions change from whatever she was feeling at the time of arrival to feeling exactly the way Franck does. I just think it would be a neat idea even though his profile says he doesn't like reading people's emotions willy nilly. Just let me know if that would be in character for him or not. If not, we can totally scratch that idea and just roll with something else.
Oh. My. God! We need to thread Akeem and Tori, man. I don't know how and I don't know why, I just know my answer is yes.
Post by Devyn Solway on Sept 1, 2015 18:52:29 GMT -6
Victoria and Roxana: The two of them could meet pretty much anywhere, but I figured we could have a thread with them getting out of a class together. Possibly meeting up for a project they have been put together in a group for photography or something. They would most certainly have few classes together and if you want I would be up for the two of them knowing one another a little bit. Still acquaintances of sorts but having at least talked about a project or class a few times. Rox is not a big talker unless it is about art in general and even then does not say much all the time. I could start something up for them or you could if you wanted.
Victoria and Erin: Awesome! I could see a thread with Quinn and Erin are hanging out and Tori can show up, but me and Bobby don't really have one of those with the two of them yet. I'm sure me and Bobby can do some talking and come up with something if that is what you want. Of course I'm also up for the two of them meeting one on one to give even more reason for Tori to show up in a thread with Quinn and Erin. I have an open thread with Erin HERE, if you want it. If not I can come up with something else or if you think of something you can let me know.
You posted a thing on Tori and Reid, but Reid is Nu's so just point that out to Nu in case she missed what you had planned for Reid and Tori.
Victoria and Jun-Aaron: He is indeed in the photography class and I'm not sure if he signed up for the club yet or if he ever will. All the same, these two would have met one another at some point at least once I'm sure and he would have most certainly asked her for help and pointed out her skill in photography (he likes to be smooth with the ladies from time to time). I could start something up for the two of them as well or you can. Let me know.
Yeah, let's have it that Roxana and Tori are in the same class. They would be acquainted which makes things a lot easier. Let's say they get paired up for a project that requires them to come up with a theme and take pictures that depict said theme. They have to make a portfolio for that or something. Tori would definitely invite Rox to get dorm so they could plan their theme and how they wanted to present it. I am willing to start the thread and will link you when it's started.
I think you have a good point and a good idea for Erin and Tori. We should get these two friendly with each other before doing the three-way thread. I'll just shove Tori into your open thread with Erin and that will be that.
As for a thread with Jun-Aaron, let's assume he's in the same class as Tori and Rox. She would know of him (probably just his name) or, if he has already complimented her work, Tori would be interested and friendly with him. I'll let you start a thread for these two if you're interested in threading these two right now.
Post by Valerie Law on Sept 1, 2015 23:03:31 GMT -6
My dearest Kenny,
But of course! I'd love to rp both Valerie and Logan with you!
On Valerie: Daaawwwwww thank you. I love my little Val and she definitely needs to meet some more friendly people and gain some confidence in herself! It would be a joy for her and Tori to meet. As for where, well classes are just starting up so they could meet in the classroom perhaps and then just meet elsewhere after that. It's a basic plan, but it just might work!
On Logan: WOOOO! I would love to see a thread between Logan and Tori. It would be great and hilarious if Tori starts hanging around Logan a ton. Who knows? Logan might warm up to her eventually. Although it'll take a few threads to gain such an' "friendship." With logan, but I digress.
As for Riley, just tell me when you're ready for her! Lemme know who'd thin
Post by François Laffont on Sept 2, 2015 6:20:47 GMT -6
The same can be said of Quinn and Tori if you want, although she still has more chance to befriend Erin than Quinn, so we can just make her know him once we reach this thread. He is part of the photography club so if she is as well, they can know each other's face and name from there.
I love the idea for Franck and Tori.It is true that he does not like to read people's emotions but he also cannot help it so it would be hard for him not to sense the strange changes of emotions coming from her. It would, at the very least, confuse him and since he has already meant with an empath in the past, he knows what that usually means. I can start this thread, unless you have an idea for it.
And I can do one for Akeem and Tori too if you want. Just be prepared if you want it, because even I can't tell what he can do xD.
François Laffont: let's hold off on the Quinn and Akeem threads for now. If you have want to start the thread with Franck and Tori, then by all means! I didn't really have an idea with it, I was just gonna jump right into the coffee shop haha. Just let me know when you have it up
We can totally space out our threads because I am the worst if I have too many threads all at once xD
So Ezra and Tori definitely need to meet at Photography club and Ezra will always entertain her if she wants any tips or just someone to talk to, be it photography or anything personal! Ezra's a really nice guy and super enthusiastic. Like...hyper enthusiastic xD
Sam definitely has them dopes. They could definitely just sleep together and then smoke after. Or the other way around, I'm none too fussy. So long as Tori doesn't expect Sam to care for her beyond that, they'd be solid. Sam is essentially a homebody and a loner but she's involved in a LOT of extra-curriculars so Tori can find her literally anywhere. Coming out from the girl's locker room, the swimming pool, after lacrosse practice, the basketball court, the football field in her cheerleading outfit...it's exhausting. But should Tori go looking for her, she can be found everywhere.
Maybe Tori's seen her fair share of lockup and Reid's always the cop that sends her there. I know we'll think of something for them. YAY PLOTS!
