NEWS: Major reconstruction undergone, check out the changes and the Qi. Also note proper pronunciation of "Cuthbert;" it's not what you might think it is.
Basic Information[/u]
Name: Alice Cuthbert (Pronounced Al-liss Kyouth-brrt)
Age: 15
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 115
Blood Type: O-negative
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Eye Color: Blue
Hair: Blonde, shoulder length
Pass Time Information
Hobbies: Rock climbing, street-ninja, playing music, photography, writing, Legos, finger-painting
Talents: Piano/organ, Drum-set, hunting, running, jumping
Favorite things: Thunderstorms, waterfalls, nature, food
Mental Information
Personality: Alice is a good natured and fun-loving individual, and if there is something fun going on she will totally want to be there. Alice is thoughtful, wouldn't hurt anyone, and seeks compromise in disagreements. Alice is a little shy but loves people. She is distinctly aware of her smallness and imperfection in relation to the sweeping expanse of time and space, but she is at peace with this. Alice is often lost in thought, and sometimes seems distant and unaware of her surroundings. Some people are put off by this, mistaking it for arrogance. Alice doesn't mind being disturbed from this state, so just get her attention and she'll be pleasantly responsive.
Mentality: Alice is a very positive thinker, but is also a realist. She follows a 'live for the day' policy but retains a perspective on past and future as well. Alice tries to find the best in people and bring it forward. Alice deeply appreciates everything, even the smallest things.
Ideal: "Don't let the little things get to you; they don't matter in the grand scheme, and neither do we. There's nothing we can do about that though, so theres no reason to do anything less than live it up best as we can, and enjoy our fleeting mortal glimpse at this fantastic world."
Belief: Agnostic
Physical Information
(painted in Flash for the win!)
Build: Slender, curvy, slightly tan
Head: Blonde straight hair falls to her shoulders and frames a lively face with cute features. She has a small, cute nose, smooth cheeks, and lips that are neither too full or too thin. Her eyes are sharp and inquisitive, and their irises are a remarkably bright blue with a hint of green, making them turquoise or teal in some lights.
Torso: Alice is perfectly proportioned and has all the right curves for her size and body type. Her musclulature is slightly toned, but not extremely obvious.
Arms: Alice's arms are not too thin or too thick, and her muscles are slightly defined. Her hands are neither too large or too small.
Legs: Alice's legs are very smooth and straight.
Feet: Alice has small cute feet.
Apparel Information
Head Gear: Alice doesn't usually wear hats, except sometimes when dressing up. She wears earmuffs in cold weather.
Shirts: Alice wears all sorts of stuff. Tees, collared shirts, sweatshirts, coats of all sorts, blouses, dresses; you never know what to expect.
Pants: Alice rarely wears pants, it's usually skirts. Shorts are another story; she often wears shorts in warm weather.
Shoes: Either tall socks and running shoes or sandals/dress shoes without socks. Alice spends a lot of time barefoot as well, especially when out in nature.
Misc: For some physical activity, Alice wears fingerless gloves to protect her palms and knuckles.
Fighting Information
Fighting Style: Shaolin Boxing
Years Practiced: 7
Description of style: As part of a therapy regimen, Alice was put through basic martial arts training in an attempt to help her focus her violent energies and exercise control in a confrontation. Alice's normal self does not like violence and has little interest in fighting, but revels in exercise, so she learned it willingly and will spar with others willingly.
History Information
History:
Homo Sapiens, also known as humans, are creatures of nature, just like any other species of kindom Animalia. Birth, eat, sleep, breath, reproduce, age, die, decay. Instinct drives us to pursue the fundamentals of life and species proliferation. However, there is one thing that sets humans apart from other creatures, and that is the ability to reason. The ability to mentally form concepts such as right and wrong and distinguish between them. The ability to write music and fantastic tales, and also to comprehend these and other sorts of delicate, seemingly unneccesary fluff that men and women create. The idea to look beyond the individual, beyond the immediate surroundings, and also the ability to look deep within, that is to be human.
Why humans possess such a trait when other animals do not is much speculated upon by religion and science. It is called 'original sin' in Christian and Jewish teachings. In that oldest of old stories, it was the fate of Eve and then Adam to be gifted with this quality by disobeying God and eating of the 'Tree of Life,' at the urging of the serpent, Satan. Their punishment was to be turned out of the paradise of Eden, and to work the soil for sustenance, and to bear offspring through pain and suffering.
Science, as of yet, cannot even confirm or deny conclusively the existence of a god or gods of any sort, let alone the credibility of this somewhat fanciful story. They instead choose a more pragmatic route for examining the question of human reason. Specifically, it is believed that the answer lies in the brain and in genetics.
One particularly well formed theory states that a genetic mutation is the source of the trait. In short, it is speculated that random mutation in one specific generation, perhaps one single offspring, produced a gene responsible for developing cognitive reasoning abilityes. This trait turned out to be a dominant trait, and eventually the recessive, animal genes were bred out entirely.
This theory is further supported by the idea that the old recessive gene resurfaces occasionally. Chromosomes come in pairs, of course. Your average human has two dominant reasoning genes, BB. The original, beastial humans had double recessive genes, bb. What happens when you have one of each: Bb? It is possible that such a person would show no evidence of the recessive trait, as it would be dominated by the other. However, it is possible that a dichotomy would be produced in the person's nature: extreme humanity and intelligence at times, extreme beastlike behavior at others, the degree of this would be based largely on surroundings and development on an individual basis.
Some societies in the past seem to have been full of such genetic combination. The Aztecs, for example, were mathematically well developed, they had a 365 day calendar and made precise astronomical calculations, made great works of art and built magnificent structures. However, they also violently sacrificed members of their own people and performed other atrocities. It may be that everyone of that people had one dominant and one recessive gene.
More proof exists for this theory than just guesswork about ancient peoples. There is also Alice.
Alice was born into a loving family who were not rich, but not struggling either. She exhibited strange bouts of uncalmable wild behavior as a toddler, but her parents figured that it was a phase and she would grow out of it, and she was quite a brilliant child at any other time. One day, she went berzerk in a classroom and wrecked the place, so they were forced to acknowledge that something was amiss.
Upon examination and study, it was determined by leading doctors and scientists that her behavior followed exactly what was predicted by the theoretical model above. She was admitted to a psychiatric ward, where she was observed at all times, and had to be escorted by orderlies when out of her room. By no means was she mistreated or kept holed up; on the contrary, she had the best education and recreation opportunities available anywhere.
Alice was a remarkably brilliant child, and faced frustration due to a lack of intellectual challenge with her educational material. She filled that particular gap in her life with creative hobbies, such as painting, construction toys like Legos, and music. She is now an accomplished pianist and organist due to massive amounts of practice and passion put into the instrument. For the times when she could not find something to mentally stimulate herself with, physical extra-curricular activities such as gymnastics, acrobatics, and martial arts were the stuff of choice, losing herself in mind-numbing exercise. Her episodes of switchover are not frequent, and are brought on by intense emotion for the most part.
Finally, as Alice reaches the age where most kids attend high school, doctors developed a medicine from studying her that would act to suppress her condition to a degree satisfactory enough that she would be allowed to live a regular life. Thrilled, her parents send her to a certain highly acclaimed PHS in the area for her reinsertion into free society.

Admittedly, previous moderators have ignored this fact and allowed the player to RP this, and making a rule on it wouldn't affect you, being ex-post facto, more than likely...
