Due to RL constraints and a quiet muse, Candice is going RP only. I've pulled her from the couple of prompt communities she was in, and while I may post the occasional ficlet or meme that interests her here, she won't be responding to the prompts on a regular basis anymore. I don't really have the time to keep up the way I should and there are louder voices in my head at the moment that are screaming to be heard, so -- Candice's been pushed to the background a bit. Plus, she's never really been the prompt type anyway.

If she comes back, better and louder than she was before, I'll maybe pick her up and put her into some communities again, but otherwise, she'll only be available for RP.

If you would like to RP with Candice, don't hesitate to poke me -- I'm sure she'd love to feel useful.

Okay, so -- over the past month I've been doing some thinking about the whole psychotic thing. I came to the realization that I really don't want people thinking of me in that way, so I decided to get help and see where my issues are. It took some time, and a lot of pride swallowing, but I eventually enlisted the help of a shrink for counseling and all that shit.

So, I went to the Doc, and he said that the root of why I may feel the way I do about people is that I have a lot of repressed anger issues, and I've never really had anyone who I can really talk to. He said it might be helpful to have me start talking to the people currently in my life about who I am and where I came from, no illusions, no smoke and mirrors. Just me.

Look, this is really hard for me alright, and I know that most of us aren't exactly the best of friends, but -- you're the closest I've got, okay? So just let me do this.

As I'm sure you all probably know, my name isn't really Candice. ( So I guess I should probably start off by saying that my real name is... )

You know, it felt really good to get all that off my chest. Thanks for listening. If any of you actually bothered to read all of that.

What are five ideas/concepts/etc you keep in mind while writing your character that you believe are essential to accurately depicting them? Why did you choose them? How do they relate to the character’s over all persona?

I figured while Candice is feeling uppity and chatty, I'd do this now. This also meshes the verses a bit, but it works. I think.

1. Candice is a bitch. In the "I'll get you before you get me" kind of way. She doesn't like being one-upped, she doesn't like being stabbed in the back, so she'll often strike before she can be struck at. She's not loyal to anyone but herself unless you've paid or earned hers in some way and trust me, earning it doesn't happen often. It's also the reason why she doesn't have a lot of friends, but she tells me she's happier that way. Less people for her to hurt to screw her over.

2. And while we're on that point, the only person she's absolutely loyal to, no strings attached, is Micah. Why? Because Micah was nice to her when he had absolutely no reason to be. That and she likes kids under the age of thirteen (once they pass that, they enter the realm of whiney brats and she wants nothing to do with them). She won't screw with kids because she knows it's not their fault the world is fucked up. So she goes after their parents instead.

3. Candice is asexual. She's not opposed to using sex as a weapon, mostly because she knows it works, but as in romantic relationships, sex for sex's sake, all that other fun stuff? She's really not interested. I have yet to get to the root of whether that's because her self-worth is nil or she just genuinely doesn't have a sex drive, but she'd rather mindfuck you than actually fuck you -- her words, not mine.

4. Candice does have a conscience. She just doesn't use it often. Death/murder/killing doesn't really sit right with her. Vegetative states, yes. Actual death -- not so much. And she really only tries to mess with people to that extent when they deserve it. (Eden!Candice, however, has kind of abandoned that principle, because the alternative was just too much fun.) Harmless little illusions when they annoy her -- yes. She gets there rather easily. However when it comes to the big my-victim-may-not-come-back-from-this stuff, it takes a lot for her to really get there.

5. Aside from her illusions, Candice is not a big fan of herself. Which is, in part, why she hides behind them so much. With her illusions, she can be anyone she wants. When she's herself -- she's nothing, or at least that's how she feels that she is. She's only really had one friend as Betty, and she accidentally caused his death. It's somehow gotten into her head that that was a sign, somehow, and obviously who she is, isn't good enough. She has walls higher than the Great Wall trying to keep people from seeing who she really is, and the poor girl is in desperate need of a shrink, but for right now -- she's making due.

Special Talents:

- I can make you see whatever the hell I want.

The others aren't really that important.

90. TEN TV shows you are addicted to and why you like them.

1. Big Brother
2. Survivor - I like these two because it's entertaining to see how shallow and self-centered these people are, and how they stab people in the back.
3. The Apprentice - It's the Donald. What can I say? I have a thing for the hair.
4. Candid Camera
5. Punk'd
6. Pop Fiction - Basically for all the same reason -- I like to see people getting screwed with.
7. The Surreal Life - Celebrities acting like idiots while they try to relaunch their career? Why not?
8. Fear Factor - Money makes people do crazy things.
9. The Jerry Springer Show - Classic trashy TV.
10. The Amazing Race - It's actually pretty good -- I don't watch to mock.
