Soundwaves -Character introduction-

[SeaAndSunshine]

This has something to do with that Cosmic thing I was trying to write a year ago. Ever since then, I have re-thought and re-written the whole thing, and instead of focusing on one character, I want to include a whole group. (Kinda like that cosmic children role-play that failed so miserably.)

A few things I need to tell you before I start this off.

1. My grammar is.... well, shit. I've taken classes and stuff, but the rules and stuff are just not sticking. So, be expecting a lot of that.

2. My writing is mediocre, and best. I do try hard to create relate-able characters, as well as believable characters, but I've never taken classes before to help hone those skills to create them.

3. it's a work in progress, so it IS going to kinda suck. I'll try to re-write and fix things as I go.

Ok, lets cut this turd loose and start this shit storm.


-----------------------------------------------

Do you ever feel like you are completely different from the people around you? I don't mean the whiny, angsty, teenager-not-fitting-in kind of different. And, I don't mean the 'Super special snowflake' kind of different either. I mean, Genuinely, uncomfortably different. The kind that, no matter how you act, dress, or what your upbringing is, you still stick out like an ugly pimple on the ass-cheeks of the world. The feeling of constantly being judged over something you can't control pushes you deeper and deeper into a state of Paranoia.

I'm sure most of us go through this in some stage of our lives. Sometimes it's short, sometimes it's unbearably long. But, for an unlucky, small number of people, this feeling stays with them throughout their whole lives.

And, this ever-growing paranoia and feeling out of place, connects them together in ways they never imagined.

-Soundwaves-


Katie Jones is a very pale, and sickly looking young lady of 17 years of age. With her unnaturally thin and tall stature, and brown eyes so dark, you'd swear they were black, she looks like the poster child for the strange and surreal. Her appearance is the root of why she feels so out-of-place. But, she found ways to cope and ease the feeling of never fitting into society. One way was to adapt herself into the style of goths. Her already pale complexion and raven-dark hair, she was a perfect fit for the style.

But, her positive personality and indifference to the feeling of angst and depression made her the white sheep in a black flock.

The frustration of the disability to truly connect with another human being can build up, especially in the ages of teenagers, where the smallest problem has the potential to cause huge drama.

Luckily for Katie's frazzled nerves, she found a way to find release for that pressure and frustration; Music. But, not in the ways most people assume.

Lets face it, when most people think about others expressing themselves through music, they assume they do it through the lyrics and notes, matching them in harmony. But, for Katie, it was neither the lyrics or the music itself. When she strums her Spanish guitar, she listens to a certain pitch, an exact sound wave that she feels matches her emotions. It doesn't have to sound great, it just has to feel right. And, she knows this, because the lingering echo left behind from the strummed string, feels just like the resonating emotion that beats through her heart. When she finds that sound, the relief she feels completely consumes her, almost making her feel like she caught some kind of wonderful high.

Katie could never explain why she feels the why she does when she plays. All she knows, is this blissful and simple activity makes putting up with her social awkwardness worth while. Like, even though she can't connect with people, at least she can connect with sound.

She's still terrible with that damn guitar, though...
