I think it'd be fine if "The Seekers" and your group were affiliated. After all their ultimate goals may not be exactly the same, but they're close enough that they'd probably be willing to work with eachother. Plus, that'd provide a good way for Miley to know your character, so yeah, I think it'd work. :)
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

I'm going to go ahead and start this, but we're still open for characters if anyone else wants in. Also, everyone feel free to contribute to the NPC army, even if you just want to make up a name and a VERY basic face/stereotype instead of a full bio type thing.

OH! And the official abbreviation of Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely is Apaca (see APCA = apaca). If you really want to be lazy and boring you could call it AP I suppose...

Is this inspired by Serial Experiments Lain?

I would like to make a contribution to the NPC army, if that's okay. :]

Name: Claustopher Winslow
Age: 56
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Russian/American

Appearance: Blonde-tinged grey hair and a short white beard. Blue eyes and a sharp nose.

Personality: Nosy and inquisitive. Loves to know what's going on and butt in where he doesn't belong.

History: Claust had a Russian mother who married an American missionary and returned with him to the United States. His father started a church in a small town in Illinoise. Claustopher became an accountant when he was 28. He retired at 52 and has been living quietly by himself since then.

I wasn't really sure what an NPC army character should be like, so let me know if this is okay.

No I've never seen that before... I thought up the idea on my own (though it's not terribly original...) The name Lain comes from a radio dj in my area... I just like the name.

and YAAAY a nosey old guy!! *adds him to the NPC army*

Here are my two student characters~ ^-^/

Name: Aaron Terrance

Absolute or normal: Absolute

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Appearance: Unkempt, wavy, blonde hair, which always seems to droop over his bright blue eyes. He stands to a height of 5’8 and his thin yet muscular limbs make it obvious he plays sports. Can be seen wearing just about anything and has the ability to look natural in whatever outfit but he commonly ruins that attribute with something goofy or completely unnecessary.

Personality: Playful, witty, and teases to no end (much to his sisters annoyance), sensitive to friends, but stubborn and naïve in many areas.

Views on Lain: Thinks she’s evil and that’s about it.

History: Found out he had special abilities at age ten when he saved his fatally injured twin sister, Olivia, in a family car accident. Later someone told both of them about absolutes and told Aaron specifically about Lain. Over the years after he and his sister grew very close and with her he made a resolution not like the other absolutes.
Over that time Olivia had succeeded in convincing him, after many incidents, from influencing her with his abilities. At first he completely respected her wishes but suddenly he had found her memory of absolutes and him being one had been completely erased. After many tries he managed to find a loop hole and restored her memories. Since then, without Olivia’s knowledge, he put up, what he would call, barriers around her to protect from other absolutes trying to control her, read her mind, or erase her memory. (If your character is a more experience absolute or creative they can probably break the “barrierâ€

Sorry for double post but here's a picture I drew of Olivia. ^_^ I also apologize for the coloring. I have close to no skill for coloring on the computer much less then shading and putting up backrounds. XD; I put the sad excuse for a backround to give it depth and so Oli wouldn't be floating in mid air. This is actually the first of my pictures I decided to color on the computer \o.o/ ....*really needs to learn how to use layers* XD; enjoy~

EDIT: and I decided to put up the unfinished picture of Cleotia :3 I'm so proud of it and thankyou Danya for rotating it and cleaning up the contrast so nicely for me~ *huggle*

Alright I'm going to pull a Laura...

No one is allowed to apologize for late posting, lack of posting, short posts, long posts, or whatever. And for the record, I WANT people to make things happen, so don't worry too much about godmoding or what I think.

And no problem DM. I'm sure you'll be able to catch up fine. Good luck with the college search.

Another picture of Olivia! Yes she plays the guitar, but probably doesn't write music, just...likes to play...yeah.

Her hair was so HARD! So poofy and curly...gees it makes her head look giant! Even when I tried to cut it down it always looked too small =o= *siighh* but I'm still proud of this regardless. ^_^ *must do Aaron...eventually*

It looks awesome, as usual >0</ and I love the hair XD

Linda wanted me to post some of my pics, so I will.

First is Craig and Olivia glaring at eachother. And Craig is. . . hatless? Odd. . .

Craig as a chibzee.

And a very quick, very badly proportioned Craig, looking quite pouty.

Name: Samantha "Sam"
Absolute or normal: Absolute
Apparent age: 14
Actual Age: 14
Gender: female
Appearance: Pictured
History: Sam is half American half French. Her mother having the French genes; and her father American. She has a very small French accent.
Her family is quiet wealthy and well known at least in the business realm. Her father is the president of a high-class company that deals with things Sam has no interest in knowing about. Her mother works with her father and they are often away on business meetings. When they leave they have a caretaker that watches Sam and her foster brother.
When Sam was four her parents close friends were killed in an accident leaving there nine-year-old son orphaned. With no close living relatives they took him in and raised him as their own. He and Sam get along and in their eyes they are real siblings.
Both of her parents are Absolutes they keep knowledge of their ability’s from her brother.
Personality: She seems very reserved and graceful. She always seems to think before she speaks and always takes her time to do things…The truth is she’s just lazy as heck.
She looks graceful cause she’s lazy and slow. She always looks like she’s half awake or just waking up. She always takes her time to think so she can say as little as possible. Her voice is very quiet and dull, as if she just woke up from a nap. She sleeps whenever she can including school, meetings and every other place she can. She’s even learned to sleep with her eyes open.
She doesn't always her Absolute power because of this, and when she does use them she uses it as an excuse to sleep more. Saying it took too much out of her.
She loves the cold and even wears shorts out when it snows. She does not do well in the heat. When it’s hot the only thing she can do is look for cool spots to sleep.
She is nice, but usually doesn’t go looking for friends.
View on Lain: ...She must have slept through that.

Name: Jason
Absolute or normal: normal
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Appearance: 5’ 9, Nicely cut brown hair, Brown eyes.
History:
His parents were killed in an automobile accident when he was nine he went to live with his parents close friends. He immediately fit in with them, and though he misses his family he doesn’t let their deaths keep him down. Knowing his family would want him to move on with his life. He is interested in becoming a doctor.
Personality: Curious and intelligent, but like Sam reserved. (though not because of laziness)
