Hello everyone! This is your friendly xXCrownofChaosXx and I'm here with another Victorious tale. This time, we'll be looking into the world of Trina Vega and her (somewhat) interesting journey into realizing her worth in life. But, what if it had nothing to do with singing or acting? What if Trina found an unconventional means of developing higher self-esteem? Follow her story as she makes new friends, allies, and enemies throughout her journey. This fiction focuses heavily on TrinaxOc with sporadic interactions from Tori and the others. They'll play a minor role here and there but mostly this will center around Trina and various other OCs.
If you're interested in having your OC featured (and I do mean as regular characters as well) just drop a PM and I'll message you the application directly so you can copy and paste rather than having to write out the whole thing. (Official results will be posted in a separate section which I'll put up after this chapter). Without going into too much detail, I'll be looking for fellow recurring characters as well as major characters to appear throughout the story. There won't be too many available slots but enough to be able to make a legitimate world.
Alright, without further ado, let's get into Trina's life and see how she grows from arrogant diva to confident young woman.
Shadows Dawn
Prologue
The other Vega.
Tori's annoying sister.
Talentless.
Worthless.
Stuck up.
Friendless.
All of those listed above was just the tip of the iceberg of what Trina would hear from her fellow students at Hollywood Arts. Whether it was overhearing murmurs throughout the halls or directly to her face, it was no less painful to endure. Her one-woman show tanking didn't help her mood either as she fiddled with the combination to her locker. In her mind, she replayed the boos that echoed in the Black Box theater when she'd begun her opening number; that was only five minutes into the show, mind you.
'What was that trainwreck?'
'I didn't think anything could be worse than that time we had to eat mystery meat... but, that takes the cake.'
'Who greenlit that hot garbage?'
'How did she get into this school with no talent?'
Those were the kind comments and reviews she'd read.
Aimlessly, she grabbed a couple of books that were needed for an upcoming exam and slammed the door with the tiniest of smiles resting on her lips.
Yes, despite the colossal failure of her performance, Trina Vega was indeed smiling which, predictably, earned her a few wary looks from anyone who happened to pass her by. Each step only made the gesture grow in strength as the brunette was now beaming just as she approached the orange 2002 Chevy Impala sitting in the school's parking lot.
She stepped inside, placing her book bag on the passenger side without delay. She was grateful that Tori had decided to carpool with Andre instead as she turned the key in the ignition. The last thing she wanted to do was delay her plans by dropping off her sister off at home.
Her heart was now pounding as she tapped the steering wheel as if waiting for something.
That something would come in the form of a familiar 'ping' from her phone, which she wasted little time in checking. Manicured fingers wrapped around the device, twitching slightly in eagerness. Her excitement was rewarded by a message she'd been anticipating.
Hey, the gang's waiting for you at the usual spot. 6th floor. Southside. :)
She rolled her eyes at the subtle traces of impatience behind the message and sent her reply swiftly before pulling off.
Several minutes passed, consisting of her jamming out to the newest Ke$ha song on the radio until she arrived at her destination. Turning off, she entered a parking garage, flashing an identification card to the guard who smiled widely in response. "Welcome back, T." he tipped his hat, resulting in a giggle for his trouble. "You ready for tonight's match?"
"Ready as I'll ever be, Derrick."
"Well, go easy on the poor chumps, their pretty green when it comes to this league." he frowned softly. "No need in you crushing their hopes before they've even got started."
Her response was a simple shrug followed by a devious smirk. "They should know what they're getting into before they qualified."
Derrick burst into a fit of laughter. "Spoken like a true warrior!"
Their conversation was abruptly stopped short when he spotted a few more cars arriving behind the girl. Noticing it herself, Trina took her card back after the guard ran it through the system to 'confirm' her identity. Once the rail lifted, she passed by without a care in the world only to hear her friend call out to her.
"Go easy on 'em!"
"No promises!" she yelled back, waving to him before heading up the ramp the upper level of the garage.
Several twists and turns later, Trina would find herself on the second highest floor where she was peering out for a place to park. With the sun going down, it would only be a matter of time before the lights would illuminate the place and help her vision. It didn't matter though as she managed to find the designated spot where a young man stood leaning against his dark blue Ford Mustang. He twisted his head in her direction, chuckling softly as she settled the vehicle into a parking space next to him while making various goofy faces at him.
"What the hell, Trina?" he snorted when she managed to contort her face into something resembling the girl from the ring.
Turning the engine off, she stepped out, heading over to her trunk. "Gotta keep my favorite guy grinning, don't I?"
"Mhmm..." he crossed his arms then mirrored her actions as well. "So, how were classes?"
"Blah..." she huffed, removing her designer top, exchanging it for a fitted t-shirt that had 'ChaotikRogues' spelled in red on the front. "I bombed in my performance, today."
"It couldn't have been that bad."
"It was horrible, Liam!" she chocked, pulling the top over her head.
"Okay! I'm sorry..." he held his hands up defensively. "We'll work on things later if that'll make you feel better."
Silence fell on the two, smothering them in awkwardness while they continued to get dressed. While Trina wasn't willing to admit it, she was grateful for the concern displayed by her best friend (yes, she had a best friend). Once she finished getting ready, she spared a glance at the guy, noticing how well he was built, a fact made all the more obvious when he got the shirt fully on.
"Trina?" she blinked a few times to find Liam snapping his fingers in her face. "Earth to Trina!"
"What?" she blushed out of embarrassment.
"I asked were you ready to go? The others are already inside."
"Oh, right... Let's do this!" she pumped her fist in the air.
Liam raised an eyebrow, skepticism oozing from his pores at this moment yet, figured this was his best friend being her usual weird self. In fact, outside of the knowledge given to him, he never truly knew the other side of Trina Vega. In front of him stood a young woman with medium length brown hair, very little make-up, and bright honey brown eyes that popped when the lights hit them.
There were no traces of the pompous girl who felt entitled to everything, instead, he was looking at a simple girl with a natural beauty and a magnetic personality that he couldn't help but love.
"Alright, well, let's give these posers hell and punch our ticket to the big leagues." he then leaned forward, stretching an arm out in a mock bow. "Shall we, your majesty?"
She rolled her eyes in response but returned with a messy curtsy. "Thank you, Wolfy!" she resisted the laugh that tickled her throat upon watching him shudder at the mention of her nickname for him.
"I told you, it's Fang..." he whined, pointing to the back of his shirt.
"Sorry..." she smirked softly. "I just like calling you that."
"Whatever..." he muttered, playfully sticking his tongue out. "Come on. The others should be downstairs waiting for us."
The pair made their exit, each content with the other's presence while making their way to the elevator. Once inside, they took turns cutting glances at one another until they reached the underground floor. Muffled sounds of Techno music pounded against the metal doors, matching their heartbeats. Liam could tell that his partner was extremely focused now. He smiled inwardly, knowing that the time for talk was over, now, only their actions were needed as he took several deep breaths before hardening his emerald orbs.
Soon, their patience would be rewarded as the elevator doors split open, allowing the full brunt of the music to flood the tiny space they occupied. Accompanied by the various screams of the crowd, Liam and Trina entered with a purpose, neither looking to show any sign of weakness. The only thing on their minds was winning. Their path led them to a small area where multiple chairs sat in a circle, their gazes soon noticing the headsets resting in the seats.
"You ready?" he heard her whisper, despite the roars surrounding them.
"Yep..." he allowed a confident smirk to grace his full lips.
They took a moment to survey their surroundings, the sounds of the Dj on the mic soon filling their ears.
"Welcome one and all! Welcome to the ESPCon!"

OC Gamer Information
Gamer Tag (ex. TempestGaleXx):
Team/Guild Name (ex. ChaotikRogues):
Is your guild exclusive to one race or multiple ones?:
P.S. Guilds are first come, first serve and I'm only allowing 3 or 4 created guilds. So, if you want to have your idea turned into one of the major guild or teams, then you'll have to send in your application to me asap. If you don't make it in time, you can either have your guild as a minor one, be a solo player in the story, or join one of the four established ones. If you want to know if yours made the cut then check the other area (link will be posted soon) or check in with me via PM or review. The team name will be used when the setting is in the real world.
In-Game Character
(This info is for the OC will be portrayed similarly to Sword Art Online. Below are seven races for you to choose from. I will list a short description so you can see what to expect upon your choice. Keep in mind, all races have can have different color tones unless stated otherwise. There are also limitations in order to keep things fair when writing your OC. Every race will have a humanoid appearance but defining features of whichever race you chose.)
Game character name:
*[Race]:
Human- The most balanced of all the races; They excel in no one category yet are typically the most adaptable and have the most potential in skill-set. While bland in appearance in the beginning, they are easily the most customizable as well, making them very popular with first time gamers. They are also the only characters who can utilize all the elements in their arsenal while the other races are usually restricted. [No Advantage/Disadvantage.]
Drailk (Dragon-like features)- By far the most powerful in pure attack and fire magic within the world of Vlagand. Those who choose this race have scale-like tattoos that adorn certain parts of their body and either have tails, hind legs, or wings (sometimes a combo). They are relatively slow when faced with physical combat, but are exceptional in battling groups and from afar. [Strong against Fenris/Umbral. Weak against Gunama.]
Gunama (Merfolk features)- Where Drailk's are the masters of fire, Gunama's are the rulers of water & ice. This races advantages lie in their magic rather than their physical skills, though they are capable fighters. They have the highest health but, similar to their elemental rival's they are slow in combat and rely more on attacking in groups or guilds rather than alone unless they're strong enough to endure an onslaught. On land, they move around with legs but, in the water, their limitations are ALMOST non-existent. They specialize in healing and protection spells but are absolutely deadly in the offensive when surrounded by water (the more the better). [Strong against Drailks. Weak against Ithuri]
Ithuri (Cat-like features)- While the other races strengths lie in direct combat, Ithuri's are by far the fastest race in the game (at least on land). They are typically stealth users whose advantages lie in utilizing their surroundings while in combat or otherwise. They beat out any race with their speed, but their overall health and physical power leave something to be desired as they can be taken out in groups or in one-on-one situations while out in the open. Instead, they choose to lure their opponents into crowded areas and cluttered surroundings in order to take them out with swift precision, making them the perfect assassins. [Strong against Gunama. Weak against Ayissi]
Ayissi (Bird-like features)- If Gunama's are the fastest in the water, and the Ithuri's are the fastest on land, then Ayissi's are the masters of the skies. The ultimate hunters, this race are the perfect marksmen/snipers when dealing with combat. Unlike the other races, their power stems more from poisons and one-shot kills to finish the job and should they be discovered, they are practically sitting ducks. This is usually why they only pick their spots in terms of finishing enemies and are normally the support crew on teams and guilds. They are late game characters that can do heavy damage but only if the tides of battle are in their favor. They can fly either to cut off escape or to escape themselves should they need to. They are the second bet scouts in the game as well, right behind the Umbral and Fenris races. [Strong against Ithuri. Weak against Fenris/Umbral]
Fenris/Ulbralm (Wolf/Fox-like features)- While limited in elemental damage, the foxes and wolves of this race are the strongest in skill and physical combat. Instead of using magic directly, they are known to channel what little they can into enchanted weaponry. This allows them to hunt and scout their prey throughout battles and normal gaming life. Their only competition in the assassination department are Drailks who can hide their scents from them. They are the ultimate counter-attackers which give them a slight edge over Ithuri's and a massive one over the Ayissi. As far as appearance goes, they have clawed/furry forearms and hands, fox or wolf tails, and large hind legs (imagine weregarurumon) that give them huge bursts of acceleration when they're about to strike. [Strong against Ayissi. Weak against Drailks.]
Normal Player or PK (Player Killer):
Race appearance (eye color, Fur or scale color, etc.):
Romantic Interest? (Aside from Trina & Liam):
Canon characters or OC relationship? (If you chose yes above):
Lastly, do you have any details that you'd like to add? (if so, please let me know via PM so that we can discuss and modify your character to your liking. I cannot stress that enough.):
Alright, with all of that done, I would like to reiterate that the application will be posted in a separate fiction that I'll try and put a link to below once I've put it up. That will be for the official roster of characters and guilds so that I can keep up with everything while I'm writing. Basically, it's an organizational tool so that I don't forget about your character or I don't have them in a way that's not true to how you put them. All characters have an opportunity to be featured, so don't worry if your guild idea isn't a major one. You'll still be involved in the story especially when it gets to the good parts.
Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this idea and feel free to give your input as well. I'm always looking to improve my skills as I'm working on a novel using this idea as well.
