they have their exits and entrances; each man in his time plays many parts So this is my baby, Knox Caesar Ketill. He is extremely shy, but he’s a sweetheart and always polite (even if you’re a thunder or a fire or scaring the hell out of him, in which he may just shut down). The boy’s a fast learner and really into writing, although he wouldn’t tell just anyone. He does have a few trust issues, despite his kindness, and tends to be careful with what he shares about himself. If you’d like to know anything more, click on the little pic up there and it’ll link you to his bio :3 If it’s not in there, just ask. I love plots and I'm almost always open for anything ^^
that which I would discover the law of friendship bids me to conceal. When Knox does manage to make friends, he likes to keep them close. He’s a very loyal one, and once you’ve earned his trust, you’ve got it. He can be the sweetest guy in the world. He’ll always remember your birthday. He’ll give you flowers if your boyfriend breaks up with you. He sends ‘thank you’ cards and ‘get well’ cards. He does prefer a small group of really close friends to a large group of shallow relationships. But of course, that means you’ve got to become friends with him first, which can be a bit tough due to his problems with trust and his insecurities.
'tis best to weigh the enemy more mighty than he seems These are most likely people who get irritated at his stutter or have a bad temper. Knox can scare a bit easily, and he won’t like people who yell for no reason (that he can perceive). Of course, he’ll still be incurably polite to you even if he despise you, but he won’t be quite as sweet as he would be to acquaintances or friends. I don’t think he has it in him to get really mean, but anyone free to try and break him ^^
love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is winged cupid painted blind Knox doesn’t like girls. He likes boys, but almost no one knows this. The only person who does is the girl whom his parents want him to marry (though there’s nothing solid), and perhaps a few close friends. He’s super oblivious to flirting and such, and he’ll blush at the slightest compliments. I feel like he wouldn’t be the type for flings unless he got completely wasted (which is unlikely, because he stays away from stuff like that due to his addictive personality) because random strangers are unlikely to have confirmation of potential interest. I wouldn't mind anyone who wants to give it a try, though :3
I love plots <3
the quotes belong to various plays by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE. this plot ad belongs to LALI @ AotE <3 she'd prefer it if no one stole it because she doesn't want to send an army of rabid squirrels after you :3

LARK & KNOX Okay, so I find this kid absolutely adorable. <3 Just had to put that out there. Anyway! Meet Laaark. My twelfth grade Fire. She is a traitor to her element, so she is sided with the Earths and Waters now. I really could see these two being friends, though maybe still starting kinda fresh since she only recently switched and what-not. She's actually a musician, plays the guitar and writes her own songs. So at least we would have common ground there! And she has NO idea how to dance...I would be forever amused to see Knox attempt to teach her how. XD She has two left feet right now and she would not be against learning a thing or two. She's extremely loyal to her friends and is somewhat of a kindred spirit in the whole "mistrusting" thing. She doesn't share much of her past and such with others. That might make them both feel safe. A reason for them not to pry too deep right off the bat. Lark is my main, so getting things going with her is always the easiest and the best.
DEVIN & KNOX Well, these two are in the same grade so I could see these two at least knowing one another! He's really social and friendly and enjoys having friends. A lazy bum, though. He's smart, but does not like to apply himself as he should. Loves video games and lounging about, as well as skateboarding. He's extremely non-confrontational (won't usually raise a fist, if at all) so they both might feel comfortable in the fact that there probably won't be many disputes or arguments between them. He works at the club as a DJ, and lives with his aunt and sister. He has -no- idea what he wants to do for his major in college either. Just...directionless. XD If you have any ideas, I'm up to hearing them!
ASHER & KNOX My Wind leader and mechanic! He's an adrenaline junkie and will try/do just about anything once so long as it's legal (like, he won't do drugs and shit). He's a bit reckless and doesn't always think before he goes and does most of the time. Bungee jumping, sky diving, rock climbing, you name it he's done it. He works at a garage in the Hollow, and owns his own 1969 Camaro. Talkative, rather upbeat (usually) and doesn't talk much about his life to other people. Kindof one of those..."on the surface" sorts of people where you know the basics and that's about it. They might click well, we would have to see? He's kinda flighty too when it comes to friendships while Knox is more loyal so that could conflict. Asher doesn't vanish from every relationship of course! It just depends.
ADAM & KNOX Yeah. No. This just. No. LOL Adam is such an ass hole. Not to mention he's a loyal Fire student and has a hot head with no filter and no hesitancy to fight if the occasion arises. He's not necessarily a bully but he is really harsh and shit. He's waaaay younger than Knox too which gives them less of a chance for a run-in. So a no-go on this one, I think.
If you have any ideas or anything, toss them at me! I'm open and up for just about anything. All my characters are available for threads and plottage. Because I love threads and plottage. <3

LARK && KNOX
Now that you mentioned it, I cant get the image of the dancing lesson out of my head xD I'm a bit torn about how to draw it about, because he'd be hesitant regarding her status because she is still a fire elemental. Otherwise, it sounds a little like they could have that really comfortable silence if they ever hung out together. I dunno if Knox would learn to trust her necessarily, but it might still work on that base level. Although I just had an idea for the dancing thing. If there was a competition, it'd make him practice (even though he wouldn't enter) and it might have potential for a thread or something if she caught him doing so :3
DEVIN && KNOX
So more potential humor: Devin might be able to get Knox into video games xD He'd fail at skateboarding if he ever tried, I imagine, because dancing is the only thing for which he manages the slightest athletic feats (although it does take quite a bit of endurance). Other than that, Knox (once he's comfortable around Devin, which he might already be if they've know each other for a long time through school) might be able to help Devin find some direction in his life or at least with his major.
ASHER && KNOX
I think we'd have to try this out to be sure of anything. Asher seems a bit adventurous for the kind of person Knox is, although he could try to tempt the addictive side of his personality with the adrenaline thing. That would only work, though, if Asher managed to get past Knox's cowardice on that front. Their initial meeting might be a bit hard to bring about considering Knox doesn't club, nor does he own a car. But once we get past that, it should be fun to try :3

* joshua&knox ,LINK TO BIO. Josh is my main character, thus the one I have most threads with, and he was the reason I asked about Maple Hollow xD His parents are rich (his father owns a hospital, his mother's a politician) so if Knox's parents are also wealthy and successful I could maybe see them knowing one another? Perhaps Knox and Josh met as kids but never really formed a friendship or anything like that? It might give us a reason for them to come together in a thread since I otherwise couldn't see anything much. They're both smart but Josh is his total opposite in some ways -- he's confident, he's proud, he's not a pushover in any sense of the word. I think it'd be funny to just see a thread with them xD Oh, and for the record, Josh is engaged to an Earth elemental and on their side in terms of alliances, so there's no worry of alliance-related dangers.
* ashton&knox ,LINK TO BIO. I think these two might make really cute friends if Knox would be receptive to Ashton. He is incredibly outgoing and friendly to the point of being overly persistent and he totally would not hesitate to talk the ear off another person no matter how shy they were. They're the same age and in the same grade, too! And element! xD We could say they had a long-term friendship or we could have them just meet, if you're okay with a friendship that is? If not friends, Ashton would still be incredibly nice and all. He's just not an unfriendly guy at all xD
* rowena&knox ,LINK TO BIO. Ro probably wouldn't bother much with him. If she started a fight and he didn't fight back she'd get bored pretty quick and give up, so I'm seeing avoidance here.
* caterina&knox ,LINK TO BIO. Can't see Rin bothering with someone so shy unfortunately o.o I think she'd just completely ignore him </3
* annabel&knox ,LINK TO BIO. Age difference makes this one hard but if they were to meet, she's really cheerful and friendly xD I can't see much, though, 'cause age differences.
I think Ashton and Josh are probably my best bets for plotting with Knox and I'd be willing to thread with either or both!

JOSH && KNOX
I feel like it's pretty likely that Knox's parents dealt a lot with Josh's mother (they could even work for her, if you want) so them having run into each other as children works for me, too. A thread might be amusing because that would make it really obvious just how much they could clash, although it doesn't feel like they'd outright argue. Knox would still be a bit wary of Josh simply because of the elemental difference because he wouldn't know how to handle it and his lack of trust might make him subconsciously suspicious of Josh's motives >>; but he wouldn't let that be obvious. Mostly like it would be awkward x'D
ASHTON && KNOX
So, it might be good for Knox to have a friend just because everyone needs one, and I don't see why he wouldn't be receptive to Ashton. He seems like the kind of person who could maybe get Knox to relax a little bit, which would also be good for him, and I'm talking myself even more into saying yes to the friendship~ I like the long-term idea better partially because I feel like they might have met earlier at the academy, and sort of tagged through school together, if you like? and meet-and-greet threads can get a little tiresome >>;
I'd definitely love to thread and I'm cool with whichever -not helpful- If you want, I can start one and then you can decide whether you'd like another?

* joshua&knox ,LINK TO BIO. Josh wouldn't argue with him, I don't think. He's got anger issues but mostly they're over really stupid things that I can't predict (and I always WTF over) or justified things like someone going after Nell (his fiancée) or a friend. But it would definitely be awkward and awkward threads are hilarious xD
* ashton&knox ,LINK TO BIO. I prefer long term as well because it allows for more dynamic without having to go through sixteen threads to get there. Maybe they could have met back in ninth grade or something? I really like these two as friends <3
I think we should do Ashton/Knox, perhaps, since they're friends and it might be easiest to start with that thread? (: Would you mind starting? My muse is flagging since I'm exhausted after that huge posting spree but it always returns in the morning xD Well, it'll be mid-day when I wake up but same difference--

I'll just hope that Knox's stutter isn't one of those tiny little things then since he won't have to worry about Knox going after Nell for any reason xD Awkwardness can be very amusing -nodnods-

KNOX&&NELL nelly here, joshy's fiance who appreciates him not touching her. =D she's an earth college sophomore, and is basically just a happy-go-lucky, loving kind of cheeky. and very friendly, so she'd like to try and make friends with knox. it would be kind of funny because she's a ball of energy and outgoingness, and he's all cute and shy. lol. she's his antithesis.
KNOX&&SAMSON thunder freshman graduate. who's a mute. don't see anything here other than some classes maybe. sam tends to keep to himself, though he likes to torment enemy alliances sometimes. for shits and giggles.
KNOX&&ALTAIR altair is ro's sister. she's a twelfth grade fire and she hates earth. she's also violent and a total bitchy hoe bitch. she wouldn't like knox here for both his element and his personality. tough luck, guy. i don't know if it'd end up in confrontation, because knox is just so adorable.
KNOX&&YEAGER yeager is a twelfth grade water student. he works for chinese delivery and can be quite the spectacular douche bag. of course, only when he's being the class clown. which is always. i was thinking that he could be a close friend of knox's and might know about his sexuality. my reasoning is he might feel more comfortable with yeager since he comes from a two-daddy home. it's pretty common knowledge (like most of his life) and he doesn't try to hide it. idek, something that i wanted to throw at ya.
KNOX&&THOMAS thomas is a calculus professor for juniors and seniors in college, so yeah, they have probably just seen each other in the halls. maybe exchanged a few words. xD

NELL && KNOX
So it may be because it's 8 am and I haven't slept, but I find it incredibly amusing to say "Nell and Knox" over and over -tiredcrazy- I think if she tried to make friends with him, he might not know how to handle her and just sort of sit there and let her be herself~ It'd be really sweet of her, though, so she's welcome to corner him chat him up ^^
ALTAIR && KNOX
Although Knox would do his best to avoid actually fighting with her, I think she would probably scare the crap out of him xD So i'm not sure how that would go much farther unless you want to see him silenced or have her have that kinda power over him ^^;
YEAGER && KNOX
This sounds like it would end up being really interesting. I like the idea of them being friends, but I feel they'd need a really solid base. Knox would be drawn to him just to see his dads interact, but I don't how well he'd handle Yeager himself because of the whole douche bag part, and he'd be a bit conflicted about that. Despite that, it feels like Yeager might make a good friend for him in the sense that Knox might never really know what to think of him, but still grow to trust him enough to reveal his little secret eventually.
THOMAS && KNOX
Knox doesn't like math much, so he might not be very eager to chat with the calc professor ^^; They could have seen each other around, but otherwsie I don't see much interaction here either...

MATTHEW hmmm. matt is my water student! he went to the academy for high school, but decided not to stay for college and instead just lives in maple hollow still, but they're still only a year apart, so i can imagine that they'd know each other, especially since they're in the same alliance? i'm not really sure how close they'd be, though -- matt's super patient with people and a lot less obnoxious than his water counterparts, but he's outgoing as all hell so long as he feels like he's not bugging anybody, and he'd probably mistake knox's shyness for not wanting to be bothered. unless they randomly keep running into each other somewhere, like if they see each other every morning getting coffee, and finally end up talking because matt is super awkward and finally would just start making small-talk because if you know someone's coffee order, you might as well be friends. :| ...he's kind of weird. -_- but either way, it's up to you to see how knox would react around matt, so. :D let me know! we can roll with anything!
NALA nala's become my staff mom or something, idk, but knox is like the student that nala wants to hug and give milk & cookies to or something. :< lol i know that sounds weird, but there are some people that just bring out the motherly nagging side of her, and i think that's knox. XD she teaches history at the academy, and have been for the past two years, so if knox took history in 11th or 12th grade, then she probably would have had him as a student, thus incurring all her maternal instincts. nala's just...nala, though. she's a little quirky, but she's really easy-going and somewhat laidback, and generally behaves in accordance with what she feels is most right, subjective as it may be. so knox can be just a student that she gets along with, professionally, or i can see them being pretty good friends, though mostly if knox ever feels like he needs an adult's view on life/whatever he's going through? idk, idk, it's up to you!

MATTHEW && KNOX
I'm not sure about coffee, necessarily, but Knox takes a morning jog like clockwork, so they could run into each other like that. He could buy water where Matt buys his coffee xD He wouldn't start the conversation, but he's too polite to diss Matt if he were to start one, so they might get chatting and stuttering together, though I think we'd have to work that out to be entirely sure how they'd work out...
NALA && KNOX
I'm having a similar deal as I had with Nell. Say it with me now: "Nala and Knox." It's fun to say. Either way, Knox enjoys milk and cookies, so he wouldn't necessarily mind that she's treating him like that, partially because he never got that kind of attention from his own mother except on vacations. I think he woulda enjoyed her history class, and he definitely wouldn't mind being around her a little more if he did begin to see her as a friend and/or mother figure (which I have to admit I didn't originally expect him needing, but it might be cute :3).

MATTHEW hey wait, i just realized...what if they were just friends from high school? lol i completely forgot that they would have attended the academy around the same time for high school, and maybe they knew each other a bit from then because of classes or whatever else. it would definitely save us time on the whole 'how do they know each other?/how do they get a conversation going?' aspect of things, lol. and yeah, don't worry about conversation starting, matt would do it all for him. so maybe they were sort of friends in high school, but maybe drifted once matt left? idk.
NALA oh god no, i didn't mean for nala to actually BE a mother figure (that thought is making her run screaming because she's not old enough to be a mom omg D8) but probably just worry about him more than most of her other students, and someone he can talk to if he ever wants an adults opinion? ...and feed him in the process. i guess a mentor is a better word for it? just someone who looks out for him and whatnot, and will help with whatever he needs so long as he asks for help. something like that. idk if i'm making any sense, but there you go. xD

KNOX&&NELL they should start a business together. knox and nell's something or other. LOL. that is just amusing. she'd be one to try and drag him into doing crazy stuffs. or whatever she can get him to do.
KNOX&&ALTAIR she would be satisfied with intimidation. xD she gets bored easily if someone doesn't fight back. at least she's better than most bullies, i guess. >>
KNOX&&YEAGER maybe they have a long-standing friendship, then? because then he'd know that all of yeager's douchiness is really just him being a goofball and he's a really honest person. sometimes too honest. and he treats his friends well. overbearing mother, well. if they met a while before, then i feel this could work. especially if knox sees the type of family he comes from. they're crazy, but they love each other. xD

MATTHEW && KNOX
Fair point xD But you have a good idea there<3 They coulda gotten along well before and then sorta lost contact, so a reunion might get interesting. Knox, for one, might be a bit tense at first because he wouldn't know how to handle seeing someone he he used to get along with because he wouldn't know if he can still get along with Matt, if that makes any sense o.o;
NALA && KNOX
I'm sorry, Nala, that was entirely my mistake xD Knox has a bit of trouble asking for help because he's shy, for one, and because he doesn't like to bother people with his problems, but he might use it as an excuse to occasionally talk to her if they've grown close. The mentor is a nice position that should work for him, too xD He likes being fed o3o Food is good. -toddles to get food-
NELL && KNOX
She may be a bit limited as to crazy stuff because Knox is naturally cautious and might get a bit frightened depending on what she has planned. Or she could not tell him and just drag him into it blind xD
ALTAIR && KNOX
So Knox got lucky xD Although people who're bullied are never really lucky
YEAGER && KNOX
Long-term friends works fine for me -nodnods- Knox would certainly be way more comfortable around him if that was the case, and he might be able to hold a more cohesive conversation with less stuttering xD Knox would love to see the family because he'd love to compare it to his own, and the crazy-lovingness might make him even more willing to be friends with Yeager because he says no bad person can come from that environment.

KNOX&&NELL lolol if she knew he had problems with it, she'd back off. she just wants people to be happy. <33
KNOX&&YEAGER ...knox is so cute, i can't-- yeager can more than make up for conversation, he talks absolutely non-stop. about everything. even things he should not talk about. xD it would be funny to see them together in a thread at yeager's house. it really is a great environment...most of the time.
