[Enrollment] Lyle Rigby, Theater Haunt ~ accepted

[Smerdle]

AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM

Name: Lyle Rutherford Rigby
Nicknames: n/a
Gender: Male
Age: Eighteen

Faction: Ghost
Race: Theater Haunt; he is drawn to theaters and performance spaces

Natural Ability: Besides the usual levitation and intangibility, Lyle can naturally project his speaking voice well beyond normal range if he chooses, like many talented thespians only wish they could. There's nothing super magical about it, his voice just gets loud, carrying about as far as a voice magnified through a megaphone at half power.

Personality:
courteous
Whether he's genuinely trying to be nice or just making nice in the hopes of getting something out of you, Lyle is unfailingly polite toward others, even when he's being rude.

easygoing
Lyle is generally okay with many of the questionable things you might do or prefer, many of the things you might want him to do, and many of the things you might think of him. He has a very open definition of personal space and is a surprisingly good listener for one so self-centered, as long as you aren't boring.

confident
Once Lyle has decided to do or believe in something, he throws all of himself behind it, or at least gives it his staunchest verbal backing (see unreliable and lazy). His cause is the most worthwhile, well... because. He doesn't really have a reason why, he just knows it is. He won't begrudge you your wrong choices and opinions, he's just right. You'll see.

narcissistic
Lyle's pretty great. He's well-dressed, charming, intelligent. You don't need to tell him! The worst part about being a ghost is all of this grey nonsense. He's almost 39% sure his hair wasn't always so dull. And his skin. Ugh. At least he's still got the whole handsome thing going for him.

unreliable
He might have an excellent shoulder to cry on and be a generally helpful young man when he's standing right in front of you, but without someone to remind him of his responsibilities, good luck getting Lyle to take a hold of them. He often has something better to do than keep to his commitments, and that better something often involves staring into a mirror.

lazy
Lyle is so happy he no longer actually has to walk.

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? Formerly a semi-decent acting major in his first year at college, Lyle passed away when the blade of a surprisingly functional yet completely broken prop guillotine sliced him in two during a dress rehearsal. He was subsequently born into Halloween fairly close to the school and lacking a better place to go, he asked if he could stay.

FEAR Ability: Yo Mama (Tainted Fang)
Even when his disses are embarrassingly awful, Lyle's scathing words have the potential to physically injure his opponent and leave them with an uncomfortable burning sensation long after he's spoken. (He doesn't actually tell yo mama jokes.)

Physical Description: y helo

Height: 5'11" (hovers at 6'4")

Clothing: He is most comfortable in the clothes he died in (surprisingly realistic costume armor with new Halloween-induced embellishments, though anyone who knows armor can obviously tell it's not authentic), but as it begins to wear out (or he fears it's going to) he will swap in average business casual items as determined by RP.

Accent: Lyle initially speaks with a rather decent posh London accent even though he used to be American. Over time it will fade slightly, but he'll always have a bit of a Madonna thing going on, if only because he doesn't realize he isn't actually from England. Not that he knows what England is, but yeah. I guess he's just subconsciously lying to himself? Whatever, it's never going to come up in RP anyway.

/tuch (ຈل͜ຈ)~

Believe it or not, I actually did mean for his FEAR to have a more physical effect, even though I didn't word it that way at all. Sometimes I don't know what my fingers are thinking derp dorp

ALL FIXED AND THANK YOU <3

re: age
~ I'm not sure what it was before, so just to be safe, the age cap is just for maturity (physical/mental/skillset) not necessarily actual years of existence.
