School: Hillworth Grammar School

Hobbies:

Sport: Oscar is heavily into sport, his main favorites consisting of basketball, football and baseball. He plays all three (when they're in season) for his school, and wouldn't be adverse to trying other sports out.He's also in the know of a lot of sporting info. Think of him as a Sports!wiki, knowing win/loss records, game margins and player stats (even some heights and weights). If it's relative to sports of a player, chances are he's got the info. Oscar also likes to watch highlight reels on youtube. He has a soft spot for injury clips. Sports is just something that comes naturally to him, like some are with singing, or maths, or drawing, Oscar is like that with sports.

Working Out: Oscar loves to keep in shape. He spends a fair chunk of his spare time in the gym, working out, or jogging. A guy's got to look good right?

Girls: Oscar likes girls. A lot. He'll often be distracted in conversation if a pretty girl walks by, and he will almost always feel the need to hit on any piece of good looking a**. He finds it hard to have a girlfriend, just because there are so many options out there. He also collects certain 'sporty' magazines.

Console Games: Oscar is an avid videogame player. Whilst not highly skilled in any particular genre, he can pretty much adapt to any game and can give most people a run for their money. Forget Nintendo, he's a hardcore Xbox/Playstation fan. If given the choice, he would much rather play a shooter than an RPG, especially if there are others around to play.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIParties: Oscar loves to party. If there's going to be a party he'll be there. Don't worry, he brings his own drinks.


Virtues:

Charismatic: Oscar has the looks and the moves and he knows how to use them. He's a sweet talker and will try anything to talk his way in, or out of a situation with relative ease. Oscar will attempt to use all of his looks to his advantage and is a pretty smooth talker. Wink.

Independent: Oscar likes to work things out by himself, he's used to doing his own thing, because his parents never really bothered. He's mostly capable of handling things his own way, so he doesn't need to involve others all the time, if at all. He is willing to offer others a helping hand, but he likes to and is used to doing things himself.

Trying: Oscar tries his best at the things he's interested in. Even if they don't work out, as long as he's interested he'll be determined to give it his all.

Outgoing: Oscar is easy to talk to in general, it doesn't matter if you're a stranger, Oscar has not trouble talking to you if you strike up a conversation, as long as he finds you interesting, whether it be to talk to or to look at, he'll be involved.

Flaws:

Vengeful: Oscar has a vengeful streak. Because he's so used to things going his way thanks to his smooth talking, when something doesn't go his way and truly pisses him off then he feels wronged, like he was cheated, and so would want to get back at whatever or whoever had made him feel this way by any means necessary. The depth of his revenge would be dependent on how he was originally wronged, he would want to make the other feel how he felt. He also likes to keep things between him and the other person, there is no real need to bring anyone else into the equation (but, say, if there was ever a situation where this might be the only possible way of getting back at someone, Oscar would consider it).

Stubborn: Oscar can be extremely stubborn. Because of his independence, if something doesn't work out, he has to prove he can do, and so refuses to budge, even if he might be making things worse.

Guilt Tripper: When the charisma doesn't work, Oscar can go into guilt-tripping mode, where he tries to use guilt to get his way. This is something that he doesn't know he does, and is sort of a defense mechanism if his charisma doesn't work out.

Attention: Unless it's interesting to him, Oscar probably wont pay much attention. He's often in the back of the class dozing whilst the teacher lectures about 'junk'. Chances are there is something he would much rather be doing than whatever it is that is taking up his time, like girls, or blowing something up on his Xbox, or going for a run, or girls. The same principles apply to his social life, if people are uninteresting, or if he ends up stuck talking to some butt-ugly chick then he's out.

Oscar's parents met when they were both still in high school, and at 16 years of age, Calliope found herself pregnant with 17 year old Jackson's child just 6 months into their relationship. Convinced they were in love and it was the right thing to do, they both dropped out of school to care for their unborn child. Both their families found their decision to keep the baby and drop out of school so disgusting, they both abandoned their children. Oscar was soon born and the couple seemed happy, a year later they were married and everything seemed fine, but soon, problems started to make their way into the happy family. With their lack of education, both parents found it hard to get much work. His father grew to see him as more of a burden than anything else and so cared less and less for his son as he grew. His mother, fearful of abandonment from her one true love, tried whatever she could to please her husband, adopting the same attitude towards their child. With neither parent really caring about him, Oscar was left to bring himself up. He soon began acting out, causing small incidences with the police in the hopes his parents would take more notice of him, but his actions were fruitless, and as time wore on, he decided to not bother with his parents anymore and concentrate on himself. With some minor misdemeanors under his belt, it wasn't long before an offer to attend Hillworth Grammar arose, and Oscar, noticing it was a boarding school, was quick to pack his things and move into the Halls on an athletic scholarship, leaving behind his parents, and not wanting anything to do with them anymore.

Jackson Thwaite: Older than his wife by one year, he truly believed that dropping out of school to raise his child with his partner was the right thing to do, at the time. With the abandonment of both their parents, as well as the difficulties of obtaining a job thanks to his lack of education, Jackson began to put the blame onto his son, resenting him for what his life had become. His feelings to his wife did not alter, still believing that they're truly meant to be together. The struggle with jobs lead to struggles with money, and more inner turmoil for Jackson, looking for some kind of salvation, he turned to alcohol, and even dabbled in drugs, anything to get his mind off of his derailed life.

Calliope Thwaite (nee. Anders): There were big red hearts in the eyes of Calliope when she first met Jackson, and there have been ever since. Believing her husband to be a wonderful man, she's gone on with his every idea and wish, not once thinking for herself. When times got tough and Jackson began to slide, Calliope became scared that her soul mate would leave her and so, would do anything to please him, even adopting the same attitude he had towards their son.

Oscar's views and relationships towards his parents are the same, that they aren't worth his time, and that he is glad that they're out of his life and (hopefully) he wont have anything to do with them again. His upbringing has made him more than capable of looking after himself, and found that leaving his home for Hillworth Grammer was the last thing tying to the rotting life of his parents.

Janus is an inner satellite of Saturn. It is also known as Saturn X (Roman numeral X = 10). It is named after the mythological Janus.

Discovery and orbit
Janus occupies practically the same orbit as the moon Epimetheus. This caused some confusion for astronomers, who assumed that there was only one body in that orbit, and for a long time struggled to figure out what was going on. It was eventually realized that they were trying to reconcile observations of two distinct objects as a single object.

The discovery of Janus is attributed to its first observer: Audouin Dollfus, on December 15, 1966. The new object was given the temporary designation S/1966 S 2. Previously, Jean Texereau had photographed Janus on October 29, 1966 without realising it; Dollfus named it at the same occasion. On December 18, Richard Walker made a similar observation which is now credited as the discovery of Epimetheus.

Twelve years later, in October 1978, Stephen M. Larson and John W. Fountain realised that the 1966 observations were best explained by two distinct objects (Janus and Epimetheus) sharing very similar orbits. Voyager 1 confirmed this in 1980.

Janus was observed on subsequent occasions and given different provisional designations. It was observed by the Pioneer 11 probe when it passed near Saturn on September 1, 1979: three energetic particle detectors observed its "shadow," Janus was observed by Dan Pascu on February 19, 1980 and then by John W. Fountain, Stephen M. Larson, Harold J. Reitsema and Bradford A. Smith on the 23rd.

All of these people thus share, to various degrees, the title of discoverer of Janus.

Name
Janus is named after Janus, the two-faced Roman god. Although the name was informally proposed soon after the initial 1966 discovery, it was not officially given this name until 1983. Epimetheus received its name at the same time.

According to the OED, the adjectival form of the moon's name is Janian.

Physical characteristics
Janus is extensively cratered with several craters larger than 30 km but few linear features. The Janian surface appears to be older than Prometheus' but younger than Pandora's. From its very low density and relatively high albedo, it seems likely that Janus is a very porous and icy rubble pile.

Ring
A faint dust ring is present around the region occupied by the orbits of Janus and Epimetheus, as revealed by images taken in forward-scattered light by the Cassini spacecraft in 2006. The ring has a radial extent of about 5000 km. Its source is particles blasted off the moons' surfaces by meteoroid impacts, which then form a diffuse ring around their orbital paths.

What's done is done.

Battle. A battle story is where two powered-up individuals (senshi or Negaverse) enter into battle, whether it be between themselves or a monster who will be played by the roleplaying team. These stories need to have a definite beginning and end -- you actually have to finish these suckers, not just let them dwindle off into a ??? ending. That's why it's better to plan out how it goes between every participant beforehand. These are the stories in which fighting happens, and a youma's dusted! Or someone else gets dusted! Dust happens.

PLEASE INFORM THE ROLEPLAYING TEAM/THE MULE IF YOU NEED A YOUMA, AND WE WILL PLAY ONE FOR YOU. (IF YOU ARE WILLING TO PLAY THE YOUMA FOR SOMEONE'S STORY, WITH ACCEPTANCE FROM THE RP TEAM, YOU WILL GAIN ITEMS)

Regular. Although you can be in your senshi form, a big battle (three or more) does not happen. A small battle between two contenders can, but it needs three or up to become a battle story. This is also where normal RP between two or more people happen. This is your day-to-day life or your senshi patrolling.

Solo. This is a solo story with just your character. It can either happen diary-style or a "slice of life" story. Solo stories must be at least 450 words.

You cannot swap down battle stories (as in, you can exchange battle stories for other things, but you can't exchange other stories to count as your battle tally). You can also exchange regular and solo stories as part of your tally. Three solo stories count for one regular. One battle story counts for three regular or three solo (not six solo, sorry!).
