Height: 5'5"
Weight: 123lb
Eye Color: brown
Hair Color: black
Build: slim but with muscles
Scars: no
Piercings/Tattoos: ear piercing and the following tattoos. 1 2 3 4 5 and finally 6
Personal Style: Jennah's style is pretty artsy and stays consitant all year. She wears a lot of tank tops and skinny jeans with either boots or flip flops. Sometimes she'll wear a headband or a t-shirt with a vest. Sometimes she'll wear a little dress or something cute with a pair of boots. She prefers bright colors over blacks and grays. Her makeup is basic...she doesn't go into extreme detail with it.
Appearance: Jennah likes tattoos. Jennah has six tattoos. Jennah has so many tattoos because it's one Chinese custom she decided to throw out the window. Since Jennah thinks before she speaks, she lets her tattoos be loud for her. The tattoos on her arms are in German and they translate to: "Now and always have the blessing of the father ... and remain innocent until He comes".
She has long, black hair that she pretty much let do what it wants. She brushes it, but she rarely will pull it back. She always runs her fingers through it, trying to keep it neat, but that rarely works out for her so many times a day, she has to push her hair out of her face (much to her annoyance).
She's of average height and she's thin, but Jennah is strong. If one grips her arm, they'll feel the muscles beneath her skin and her legs are also toned. She's thin, which is kind of nessecary when you're an acrobatic in the circus like she used to be.
Jennah has a heart shaped face hiden behind her long black hair. Her eyes are a fudge brown her smile is perfect and white. When Jennah smiles, her whole face lights up and it's contagous.
HOPE AND HORROR
[/font]MIXED IN BLOOD[/size][/center]
Likes: almost all animals...specifically cats, heights, acrobatics, sunshine, intelligent people, reading books, tattoos, falling (and landing on something soft, of course), trampolines, colors, performing, popcorn, cotton candy, fencing, video games, trying new things, food <3
Dislikes: people who pick on the smaller people, politics, unfairness, blatant stupidity, constant moving, people who are overly emotional, too much public displays of affection, people who don't know when to shut up, animal cruelty, giving up, snakes
Dreams: to one day be reunited with her real family
Fears: losing latika or bhuvan, snakes, failure
Habits/Hobbies: acrobatics, martial arts, reading, yoga, belly dancing, gymnastics, sword collecting, sword fighting, volunteering at homeless shelters
Secret(s): she has no idea who her real parents/family are. she just lies and says latika and bhuvan are
Personality: Due to her upbringing, Jennah is a bit of a dare devil. She's no Evel Knievel, but her circus life has left her pretty fearless. Heights and small spaces don't bother her and she likes almost any type of food. Jennah loves the rush of adreniline she gets when she's performing a risky stunt.
But her daring ways is no way an implication towards her intelligence. Jennah is highly intelligent and enjoys passtimes such as reading and chess. She carefully examines a situation before she speaks. She doesn't lie often (only about her parents, really) and she's not one to speak ill of others. She tries to use her words for only the benefit of others, such as standing up for herself or others. However, if pushed, her wits are sharp and she can cut down someone with a powerful insult.
The only thing she's not very good at talking about is her feelings. Due to her past life, it isn't proper for a Chinese woman to be love sick. Though it's the 21st century and Jennah has done away with some of the customs Wang clung to, that's one of them she has not. She doesn't publically obsess over guys and she isn't a fan of public displays of affection. Hugs are okay and maybe a kiss...but any hardcore making out or...anything else must be done in private. However, if she does fall in love, she would give that man everything and be forever loyal to him.
But despite her tendensies to be quiet or hesitation before speaking, Jennah really is a nice and friendly person. She doesn't judge anyone at first. She's willing to help out anyone who needs it. She has a mischievious side that loves immature humor (at times) and practical jokes. She loves the rush of wind on play ground merry-go-rounds and swing sets...and she likes jumping off of them even more.
PRETTY BOY, PRETTY GIRL

Mother: unknown
Father: unknown
Siblings: unknown
Other: Latika and Bhuvan Advani, acrobatics in the circus
Pets: none, but she wants a kitty
Hometown: no where. she moved a lot
History: The sun rose, warming the grounds on August 13, 1993. Latika got out of her tent, yawning and leaving Bhuvan sleeping in their bed. She wandered out, taking an early morning walk before everyone else rose like she'd been doing ever since she could remember. She wondered what kind of crowd would come to the circus today. She wondered if her husband's knee would hold up since he injured it in a fall, recently. Latika walked to the edge of the circus grounds, taking a deep breath or fresh air...when she heard a baby crying. It was close by. Confused, Latika began to follow the sound of the child sobbing and in the tall grass in the field next to the grounds, she found a baby girl wrapped in a blanket, her face twisted and red as she screamed and cried. Latika, who was unable to conceive, scooped up the girl in her arms and began to thank God for the girl she had found. She and Bhuvan had prayed for a child and here was a girl, abandoned in the grass. Latika took the baby back to her tent and she and Bhuvan adopted the baby as their own, seeing her as a gift from heaven. And thus they named her Jennah meaning 'heaven' and Raine which means 'strong' due to the baby's healthy condition.
And so, Jennah Raine Advani was adopted and joined the circus. She became the third member of "Advani Acrobatics", being trained for stunts since the moment she could walk. She wowed Latika and Bhuvan with how easily she picked up the art of acrobatics. From other circus members she learned others things. From the ringmaster, she learned to read. From the lion tamer, she learned all about animals. From the sword swallower, she learned how to fence...and swallow things she shouldn't. She also awed him with how natually sword fighting came to her. Latika and Bhuvan figured they were just lucky for finding a baby who was just a natural for the circus life.
But when she was eight years old, they realized this girl was more than she seemed.
The son of the snake charmer was often cruel to Jennah. He knew her fear of snakes so one day, he decided it would be funny to pick her up and throw her in the cage with the giant python. She screamed and cried as the snake drew closer to her and the cruel boy who threw her in there laughed at her. Someone eventually heard her cries and got her out of the cage right as the snake tried to wrap itself around little Jennah. Once Jennah was on her two feet, she fled the scene. The boy laughed at her and went on his merry way. Later that day, Jennah returned to him with two swords she stole from the sword swallower, one in each hand. She screamed at him in Mandarin and ran at him, attacking him with various kung fu moves. When Jennah was pulled off of him, the boy was unconscious and she was still speaking in Mandarin.
Latika and Bhuvan were confused with Jennah's actions. Where had she learn Kung Fu? And where did she learn Mandarin? They only taught her English and Hindi. She was acting like someone different. And then their teachings from their religious pasts came back to them. What if Jennah was a reincarnated soul?
That night, when Jennah had calmed down and went back to speaking English, her adoptive parents tried to ask her why she attacked the boy and where she'd learned how. She wouldn't answer them, remaining quiet, but they could see in her eyes that she was pondering an answer for them. Finally she asked, very calmly, "Why are you calling me Jennah?"
"Because it's your name," Latika told her daughter.
Jennah calmly shook her head and gave them a smile, "My name is Wang. Wang Cong'er." And then she told them all about how she was a Chinese female warrior, rebelling against the corrupt Qing regime.
Latika and Bhuvan tried to get Jennah to forget that she was someone else. And for a while they did. She was busy focusing on getting her stunts right and homeschooling herself...
But at night, when she was alone, she would reflect on her past memories and remember what they did to her...and her husband...and her soldiers. Those memories couldn't be erased.
While the circus was touring in North Carolina, Jennah heard of a high school from someone who attended the circus and had known of her for a while. The audience member told Jennah the gods had told her (the audience member) all about Jennah (apparently this woman had been a Pythia in a past life). There people like her had their own alliance. Reincarnates of all kinds, together, where they could be their true selves. The RSOR. Jennah went to her adoptive parents and asked them for their permission to attend this school. She told them it was time for her to join the rest of society and get a real education past the one she gave herself. She chose to leave out the part of other reincarnates since they thought she, herself, no longer believed in it.
But she believed. She believed with all of her heart. It was the only thing that made sense to her.
Her parents gave her permission and she left the circus, all on her own. And now, Jennah was free to be Wang once more.

Name/Alias: Tina
Other Characters: Natalia
Age: 16
Time Zone: central
Post Sample:
Talia pulled the skirt of her tight, off-the-shoulder sky blue dress down a bit and ran her fingers through her hair. She had checked her makeup in the bathroom mirror earlier to make sure it was perfect and made little, unessecary changes when she deemed it horrible. She was nervous. There were butterflies in her stomach. She had to remind herself to breathe. Her knees were shaking. Never in her life had Talia felt like this.
And she didn't know why she felt like this. She was Natalia fucking Kruske. She was an independent bitch and she got what she wanted. She was also Bonnie Parker, expert theif of the 1930s. So her nervousness was completely irrational.
Yet...she still felt it as she looked at him across the parking lot with his beautiful hazel eyes and perfectly curled blonde hair. Talia had been crushing on him since she first saw him, but the more she observed him, she noticed he reminded her of someone she once knew in another life.
He reminded her of her beloved Clyde. And it gave her hope. Maybe, just maybe, her Clyde was out there. And maybe, this was Clyde. But she wouldn't know until she took a chance. And that's what she was going to do. She didn't think it was exactly against the rules of the RSOR. After all...only she and the potential Clyde were here in this parking lot. No one else would know if she revealed her true self to him.
But, oh God, what if he was just Carter and not Clyde? That'd be so awkward. She closed her eyes as she imagined the embarrassing situation. She could see herself strolling up to him and being like 'Like, Oh my GOD! Clyde? Is that you? It's Bonnie!' and then he'd blow cigarette smoke in her face and be like '...Who the fuck?'. Then she'd probably have to pretend she was tripping on..........something. And run away. And, of course, she could get in a lot of trouble if some RSOR member found out.
...But she was more worried about her reputation being trashed.
If she didn't take this chance, though...Clyde Barrow could be walking away from her forever. And that was something she couldn't live with; she couldn't live with knowing she'd let him go a second time.
So this was it. She took a deep breath and dropped her cigarette on the ground before stomping it out under her bronze gladiator sandals. She gathered up her courage and walked over to the boy. The attractive, bad ass boy. Her dark eyes looked up into his hazels.
Oh crap...She didn't think of what she was going to say...
"Hi," She said, mentally kicking herself for being so damn awkward. She stood in front of him, one hip cocked to the side, her arms crossed over her chest as she looked up at him.
Okay. Now what?
"Can we talk?"
Way to go, Talia. Way to be on a role.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
