Personalities:


    Riley

      Sarcasm
      Riley is a rather snarky girl. By snarky, she's usually a just sharptongued. When people make stupid comments, or ask stupid questions, she'll reply with a sarcastic answer. For example, if someone were to ask the question "How do you know you're gay? Have you ever been with a girl?" to someone, her response would be somewhere along the lines of: I know this isn't directed at me, but the same goes to you. How do you know you don't like porcupines? Have you ever been with one?" She's not always sarcastic, however. When she's just hanging out by herself, or if she's around people she knows, she tends to just ignore stupid questions asked by them. That's not to mean she doesn't joke around with them, though. She just doesn't feel the need to make them feel like an idiot.

      Intelligence
      Riley is also really smart. However, her intelligence sometimes gets the best of her, and it gets her into trouble. When someone says something that's clearly incorrect, she corrects them. "The movie based on the game series Resident Evil, is exactly like the games and follows the same characters."
      "UH. No. The movies involve a few characters, but it's a different set of characters all together, following a similar plot." Not generally video game related, but sometimes! She's quite well read and video game-d. Her favourites are puzzles.

      Holidays
      Her favourite holiday is also Christmas, and she hates Halloween. Halloween scares her, she doesn't like the things that go bump in the night. She had a close encounter with one and it scared her as a child, and she never recovered from that. The Halloweener tried to grab her and scare her, he didn't grab, but he did manage to scare her. Christmas isn't scary. Christmas allows for hot apple cider, Christmas trees, ugly sweaters, warmth, and snow! And she adores all of those.

      Night-Owl
      Riley is a bit of an insomniac, and as such, she ends up staying up rather late. Sometimes she just doesn't sleep. So, as the night goes on, and finds herself sitting in bed, she decided she needed something to do when that happens. So she took up knitting. She can only make scarves, but she likes doing it. It makes her relax as she sits there, and eventually, she's able to fall asleep.



    Harlem

      Think Before You Speak
      The title is ironic, because Harlem doesn't think before he speaks. He just lets whatever he thinks flow out. It's a good thing that the only person who can hear him is Riley, or else he'd probably be killed by one of the hunters for merely speaking his mind and not thinking before he spoke. Riley thinks it's funny, for the most part though. She's glad he doesn't filter his speech. Makes his advice a little easier to listen to.

      Video Gamer
      He loves video games, and that's great because it's something that him and Riley have in common. His favourite kinds, however, are horror games. He's not quite as versed as Riley is, and so when she talks about a game he's never heard of, she often times will sit down and play it so he can see how it works. The same goes for his, but Riley hates horror games, since they scare her. But she tries to humour him.

      Desperate
      Before he became a weapon, Harlem desperately tried to get ghouls to notice him, but nobody ever did. It's a shame too, because he wasn't a bad looking boil, he just didn't have any striking features. Riley feels rather bad for him about that, and whenever he sees an attractive lady, he'll see her and constantly try to get Riley to talk to her for him. But she knows nothing can happen. And she always has to remind him that he's a weapon. But he doesn't care. He's just continuously trying. It's as if he'll never stop trying to get the attention he never got.


Why did your human character choose to become a Hunter?

    Riley chose to become a hunter after being in a close encounter with a child of Halloween. It was when she was little, and it wasn't normal like seeing a ghost. She'd seen those before. This was different. This was a group. The group seemed to be a group of Barghests, of course she wouldn't have known that at the time. One of them in the group had reached out and touched her. And she didn't like that. At all. It frightened her. After living for years with that fear in her mind, she decided she didn't wanna be afraid anymore. So after hearing about the program, she quickly accepted and joined.

Crits~

NGL, Personality wise I'd say she needs a lot of work. You have a basis, but the wording is weak, making the character come off as flat and cliche. The reason behind this is rather a simple one; by stating facts without providing evidence it becomes a one sided statement.
Riley is snarky- well, how is she snarky? When is she not a sarcastic b***h? How smart is she? (as a side note, saying 'because she is smart she loves reading' is a fallacy, since reading necessarily doesn't make a person smart, nor, does a smart person always enjoy reading. By saying 'it is her escape however IS the reason- 'She enjoys reading, as it allows her to escape reality.' Becomes a must stronger statement and provides a better contextual depth!) By providing a context to exceptions, generals, the character can come off as much more dynamic and engaging.

The same goes for Harlem- Examples and context. And like with Riley, 'As a loud guy, he's also relatively offensive at points.' Be careful of fallacies.

Overall, I can tell a general basis, but what would help is expansion, providing examples and elaboration. If you have any questions just ask me (im p sure u have my AIM)
