Georgia Field -- She has fair skin, green eyes, and straight auburn hair past her shoulders. Her heritage is Scottish-American. She speaks English and Gaelic. She is 21 years old in 2014.
Georgia took a Get a Life Year after graduating from high school. She visited places with the most spectacular nature: Costa Rica, Brazil, Peru, Iceland, Switzerland, Italy, Tanzania, Madagascar, Maldives, Indonesia, Nepal, Japan. In each country, she sought out beautiful parks and art displays, along with art workshops when available. Currently Georgia is working toward a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art Studio with a minor in Adirondack Studies at the State University of New York-Cortland. She specializes in landscapes, although she also does some other nature art like botanical and zoological illustrations. She also belongs to the Art Exhibition Association, Biology Club, Female Force, International Club, and Role Playing Games. As part of that, she is taking a Worldbuilding course in fall of her junior year.
Georgia wears practical women's clothes, often in bright clashing shades of orange, pink, purple, and yellow. She doesn't pay much attention to them, because she's so messy -- she always has ink or paint all over herself and her clothes. She enjoys spending time in the wilderness. After graduating from college, Georgia hopes to join a 10,000 Hours program to develop her artistic career, instead of going to graduate school.

Caeru (Karsyn Catmull) -- Ey has fair skin, aquamarine eyes, and shaggy teal hair cut short. Ey is intersex, genderqueer, and sapiosexual. Eir heritage is American. Ey speaks English, Esperanto, and Latin. Ey is 20 years old in 2014.
Caeru is working toward a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design and Digital Media with a minor in Computer Applications at the State University of New York-Cortland. Ey also belongs to the 20CSTV filming club, Curly Kinky Coily Hair natural hair club (by special invitation), Outdoor Pursuits Program, Pride Club, and SUNY eSports Leagues. As part of that, ey is taking a Worldbuilding course in fall of eir junior year. Ey contributes not only digital art but also much of the work building the website, alongside Howard Emerson.
Socially, Caeru shifts between several groups including computer geeks, bohemians, and queerfolk. Ey is flexible enough to go with the flow in any of them, bringing artistic flair to the logical computer side and organization to the whimsical expressive side. This makes em pretty popular. However, Caeru stands out wherever ey goes, which is sometimes a nuisance.
Origin: Karsyn was born with ambiguous genitals and faintly tinted hair. At puberty, eir genitals developed further, definitely orgasmic and possibly fertile in both male and female modes. They don't look quite like ordinary genitals of either, and different or additional effects are also possible. Doctors aren't sure, not even the SPOON ones. At the same time, Karsyn's hair brightened to a vivid teal that gleams iridescent in the sun with flares of blue, green, and metallic tones. Ey took the cape name Caeru as a result.
Uniform: Caeru wears unisex clothes (like T-shirts or jeans) or genderfuck combinations of masculine and feminine ones (like a suitcoat with a flowing skirt). Eir base colors are gray and white, often accented with teal, orange, or purple.
Qualities: Good (+2) Computer Geek, Good (+2) Flexible, Good (+2) Genderqueer, Good (+2) Graphic Design, Good (+2) Logical-Mathematical Intelligence
Poor (-2) Conspicuous
Powers: Expert (+4) Crayon Soup, Good (+2) Intersex
Ey has the enhanced vision that often comes with crayon colors.
Motivation: Self-expression.

Georgia Field -- She has fair skin, green eyes, and straight auburn hair past her shoulders. Her heritage is Scottish-American. She speaks English and Gaelic. She is 21 years old in 2014.
Georgia took a Get a Life Year after graduating from high school. She visited places with the most spectacular nature: Costa Rica, Brazil, Peru, Iceland, Switzerland, Italy, Tanzania, Madagascar, Maldives, Indonesia, Nepal, Japan. In each country, she sought out beautiful parks and art displays, along with art workshops when available. Currently Georgia is working toward a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art Studio with a minor in Adirondack Studies at the State University of New York-Cortland. She specializes in landscapes, although she also does some other nature art like botanical and zoological illustrations. She also belongs to the Art Exhibition Association, Biology Club, Female Force, International Club, and Role Playing Games. As part of that, she is taking a Worldbuilding course in fall of her junior year.
Georgia wears practical women's clothes, often in bright clashing shades of orange, pink, purple, and yellow. She doesn't pay much attention to them, because she's so messy -- she always has ink or paint all over herself and her clothes. She enjoys spending time in the wilderness. After graduating from college, Georgia hopes to join a 10,000 Hours program to develop her artistic career, instead of going to graduate school.

As part of that, ey is taking a Worldbuilding course in fall of eir junior year. Ey contributes not only digital art but also much of the work building the website, alongside Howard Emerson.
Socially, Caeru shifts between several groups including computer geeks, bohemians, and queerfolk. Ey is flexible enough to go with the flow in any of them, bringing artistic flair to the logical computer side and organization to the whimsical expressive side. This makes em pretty popular. However, Caeru stands out wherever ey goes, which is sometimes a nuisance.
Origin: Karsyn was born with ambiguous genitals and faintly tinted hair. At puberty, eir genitals developed further, definitely orgasmic and possibly fertile in both male and female modes. They don't look quite like ordinary genitals of either, and different or additional effects are also possible. Doctors aren't sure, not even the SPOON ones. At the same time, Karsyn's hair brightened to a vivid teal that gleams iridescent in the sun with flares of blue, green, and metallic tones. Ey took the cape name Caeru as a result.
Uniform: Caeru wears unisex clothes (like T-shirts or jeans) or genderfuck combinations of masculine and feminine ones (like a suitcoat with a flowing skirt). Eir base colors are gray and white, often accented with teal, orange, or purple.
Qualities: Good (+2) Computer Geek, Good (+2) Flexible, Good (+2) Genderqueer, Good (+2) Graphic Design, Good (+2) Logical-Mathematical Intelligence
Poor (-2) Conspicuous
Powers: Expert (+4) Crayon Soup, Good (+2) Intersex
Ey has the enhanced vision that often comes with crayon colors.

20CSTV is a student-run organization that plans and creates television shows and programs brought forth by the student body. CSTV is also involved with filming campus and community events.
(Caeru was invited into this club for eir naturally teal hair, despite it being straight. Since it has the extremely fluffy texture that crayon hair sometimes does, ideas on how to manage it are very helpful.)
Curly Kinky Coily Hair
Curly Kinky Coily is a club where we all can come together to have a good discussion about hair and just to express your view point on the various topics that we will be talking about. Let's use our voices to be heard and to learn from our many experiences that we receive while living in this society as young adults with natural hair.
Outdoor Pursuits Program
Outdoor Pursuits (OP) strives to be the vehicle for Transformational Education by bringing the outdoors to the SUNY Cortland community. We believe life was meant for good friends and great adventures.
Outdoor Pursuits consists of three main program areas:
7. Gear and Rental Center, which includes the Cortland Bike Project
8. Tripping Program, which includes Adirondack Trail Blazers
9. Rock Climbing Wall
Pride Club
Pride Club is Cortland's LGBTQIAP community on campus. We welcome everyone including allies to come to our meetings. Each week we focus on an educational topic related to the LGBTQ+ community. We also do many collaborations with other clubs on campus to raise awareness and promote social justice and diversity. Some meetings will be very informational while a few others might be more social so we can make new friends with similar interests on campus.
SUNY eSports Leagues
SUNY Canton and League Spot have organized SUNY wide leagues across a wide array of games. Some games are specific to a platform, such as Super Smash Bros. and Overwatch. Others are cross-platform, such as Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Rocket League.
