I need good roleplayers, who can use story posts, make them long, and don't mind creating an entire new character for a roleplay.

Okay, for my newest RP, I need people who are willing to play NORMAL teenagers. No enhancements. No weapons, unless it's almost realistic (i.e. some thug at the school having a switchblade might be accepted, depending)

I need people to play.

The RP will happen in March of a school year at high school.

# of people needed - Description
An Optional tag means if not enough people join, these roles can be dropped. A semi-optional tag means it's best if they do exist, but in a pinch they can be dropped.

Me - The 18-year old (Birthday's in February) horribly depressed main character. More will be shown within RP

1 - The girlfriend of the main character, who's struggling desperately to maintain the trust and relationship she once had with the main character. She's 17, and her birthday is in a few days. Lately the main character's been entering withdrawl, not just from her but from the rest of the world. She's trying to get him to open up and talk to her about what he's struggling with, but to no avail. She'll do almost anything for him.

1 - Enemy of the main character. Someone who's been the main character's enemy since childhood. He's also eighteen (Birthday in January). He bullies smaller kids at the high school, and is basically the typical thug. He hates the main character, and will do anything he can to try and trip him up or sabotage the main character's dreams, ideals, and work.

1 - Friend of the main character. He's the character's best friend. Been best friends since they were about three. He's seventeen (Birthday in September) and graduating from high school, like the main character, his girlfriend, and his enemy. The best friend is kind of like the idealistic optomist of the group. He's cheerful and happy almost all of the time, although at his house it's a different story. His parents are in the beginning of a very horrible divorce, and at home he's terrible. He vents off. Once, in a fit of rage at his father, whom he considers a bastard, he threw his father's favourite dining chair out the front window. When his father yelled at him for it, he replied, "It's your problem. It's your window. It's your chair." and walked upstairs. He's cheerful, happy, and tells jokes at school, but at home he's surly and aggressive, although he tries to stay optomistic. Things don't always work out.

1 - Girl the friend's got his eye on. She hangs out with the football team, which the friend tried out for and failed at. She's currently going out with the football star, although she doesn't believe in the relationship and will end it whenever she feels is right. She's pretty, and the friend (See above) wants to ask her out as soon as she's done with the football star. However, she seems not to like him very much, at least probably not enough to go out with him. She's a nice enough girl, she just doesn't know how to pick good relationships.

1 - Football star. The classic arrogant sports star. He's good at every wport he tries, and chooses football because he likes to beat up on people. He plays hockey, but not seriously, and not in a league or anything. He's friends with the main character's enemy, but not close enough friends to help him beat up on anyone or anything of the sort. The football star is going out with the attractive girl (See above) and he's a little too thickwitted to realize she doesn't mean what she says, and that she'll break it off rather soon.

1 - Football kid (semi-optional). Good football player. Hangs out with the football star (see above) a bunch. They like each other pretty well, get along well. The football kid's smarter than he lets on, and has spotted that the football star's girlfriend is just playing with him. However, the football star'll hear nothing of it. This kid likes to think of himself as a realist and points out the flaws in everything.

2 - Bully friends (Optional). The friends of the main character's enemy. They hang out with him, help him bully freshmen, and other such things. They dislike the main character, but mostly because their friend( :roll: ) hates him. They're followers, not leaders. They would rather sink than swim.

1 - Smart Kid (Semi-Optional). The kid who's always getting A+'s, 100'2, whatever you call them. Perfect scores. (S)He gets picked on a lot by the three (or less) bullies, but (s)he can't help being smart. (S)He gets along okay with everyone else, but most people tend to ignore them because they're too smart. They try their best to make friends, but get brushed off because 'Oh look, it's Brainiac again'.

1 - Pretty girl the bullies are always teasing (Semi-Optional). She's really pretty, but she's somewhat shy. The bullies like to pick on her because she's pretty. She tends to just try and walk away from them, but it doesn't always work. She's nice, if quiet, and she's everyone's friend. She's the only friend the Smart Kid's got, although in no way are they in a relationship. She quite often gets teased for being friends with the Smart Kid.

Up to 10 - Assorted other characters (optional). These are the most optional characters. Just people they go to school with. Since these will be small roles, don't be surprised if you egt ignored posting something that doesn't directly involve someone else's character.






So come on, people! I need joiners!
12-10-2003, 14:55
Oh, come on! Nobody?

And even though it's my a billionth citizen festival roleplay no-one signs up? Makes me mad ...

I mean ... Uh ...

Bump.

I'll look at this, gimme' a second, the idea is neat.
Troon
12-10-2003, 14:57
I wouldn't mind RP'ing with the Smart Kid. Just as long as you don't do your usual self and do romance CONSTANTLY!
Rave Shentavo
12-10-2003, 14:58
OF course I will....but which character do you want me to play? (preferibly a girl)

(main characters g-f?)
12-10-2003, 14:59
Well, Rave, go ahead and pick whichever one doesn't specify it has to be a guy. Troon, go ahead and take the smart kid. Make ti a guy or a girl, up to you. And this is NOT a romance thread. Any romance that happens will probably be the very end of the thread, if it comes to that, or stuff out of my control (i.e. random students making out).
Kecha
12-10-2003, 14:59
I'd do the role entitled "Pretty girl the bullies are always teasing".
12-10-2003, 15:01
Okay ... I'll make a list.

Main character - Haraki
Main Character's Girlfriend - Rave Shentavo/Katie Versai
Main Character's Best Friend -
Main character's enemy - Dregruk/Roadkill
Girl the friend's got his eye on -
Football Star -
Football Kid -
Bully Friends - Famicon/Switchblade - James Adams
Smart Kid - Troon?

Random Students/Extras

Big dumb kid - Slutbum Wallah
Friend of above - Slutbum Wallah
Dregruk
12-10-2003, 15:02
I'd entitle it "Carnage-fest at the academy". Has a neat ring to it, doncha think?
12-10-2003, 15:03
It's not a war/slaugher thread either, Dregruk, it's not an academy, and I already have a title for it. But thanks anyway.
Rave Shentavo
12-10-2003, 15:03
I'll take main characters girlfriend
12-10-2003, 15:05
All right. Thanks, Rave.
Dregruk
12-10-2003, 15:05
"Chainsaw Charlie"? "Attack of the mutant nerds"? "Brain-sucking hyper-bullies from planet X"?

Oh BTW, I want bully boy. Grr.
12-10-2003, 15:06
All right, you got it, Dregruk. By the way, you're all allowed to give your characters names. I specifically left that open for you.
Dregruk
12-10-2003, 15:07
Is a nick-name OK? Like, SwitchBlade, or, FlickKnife?
Kecha
12-10-2003, 15:08
All right, you got it, Dregruk. By the way, you're all allowed to give your characters names. I specifically left that open for you. Very well, my character's name is Azaria Peters, the name has meaning, I think it's cool.
12-10-2003, 15:09
Yeah, sure, Dregruk.

Oh, and BTW, just a heads up to everyone ... Only joining this RP to try and spoil it in some way (i.e. killing the main character) won't be allowed. This RP is not about violence! There might be a little bit in it, but nobody gets killed! Nobody goes into a coma, etc. Broken bones may be allowed, depending.
Dregruk
12-10-2003, 15:09
I think I'll call the bully "RoadKill".
Kecha
12-10-2003, 15:18
All right, you got it, Dregruk. By the way, you're all allowed to give your characters names. I specifically left that open for you. Very well, my character's name is Azaria Peters, the name has meaning, I think it's cool.

(for some reason...azaria sounds familiar... :lol: ) ??? I just like the name, whyfor does it sound familiar to you?
Rave Shentavo
12-10-2003, 15:21
lol. Oh I know. I have a character named Azari. :D
Kecha
12-10-2003, 15:23
Oh, OK then.
Rave Shentavo
12-10-2003, 15:27
Should I choose a name as well, or is it preset?
12-10-2003, 15:31
Nope. No names are rpeset. Make your own.
Dregruk
12-10-2003, 15:34
Good Good. Haraki, you should probably go back to Wanted: Grimzag 2. If you still want in, that is.
Rave Shentavo
12-10-2003, 15:39
Katie Versai, I beleive.
Troon
12-10-2003, 15:44
Oooo... a name... toughy. I'm useless at coming up with names. Any thoughts guys?

BTW, will this RP be done in this thread, or will Haraki start another one?
12-10-2003, 15:44
I'm thinking it'll be in this thread, but I'll change the title and make it a closed RP.
James Adams
12-10-2003, 16:29
ill do a char if u dont mind, maybe the main chars anemys best friend of something....
12-10-2003, 17:08
I'll be Switchblade, one of the enemy/bully's cronies :twisted:
Dregruk
12-10-2003, 18:05
Hey cool! Someone used one of my names! James, wanna have "FlickKnife"? And Haraki, you never answered my question...
12-10-2003, 19:16
Which question? Wanted: 2? I'm just waiting for the opportune moment to step in. And it looks like we have two bully cronies.
12-10-2003, 19:19
Can I do the forigen exchange student from Brave New Ford World? As this person would already be 16 years old and graduated from the State Conditioning Centres this would be an experiment to see how a person from B.N.F.W. could interact with people from outside.
12-10-2003, 19:25
Well ... COnsidering it's not an exchange program, you can be a kid who just moved from BNFW. I'll put you down as an extra.
Dregruk
12-10-2003, 19:44
Which question? Wanted: 2? I'm just waiting for the opportune moment to step in.

There has been one just recently. In fact, you could jump in at any time you like. You're meant to be hunting Grimzag. Why not talk to the Troonites?
15-10-2003, 13:30
Switchblade
Male
Age: 16 (birthday in December, so one year younger than the rest)

Yearns for the day that Roadkill graduates so he can be the main bully in school in stead of having to listen to the moron. Hides his feelings of disgust for Roadkill out of fear.
Slutbum Wallah
15-10-2003, 13:40
DAMMIT! Someone already took the bully.

DAMN YOU DREGRUK! DAMN YOU TO HELL!

Hmm...

Can I have 2 "Optionals"? Just a big dumb kid and friend. I would take the football player + friend but (being a resident of the British Isles) I have no idea how American Football works.
15-10-2003, 13:49
yeah I wanted to be the bully too ... but maybe betrayel will be more fun :twisted: :twisted:
Kecha
15-10-2003, 13:50
Still here *Waves freakishly*
15-10-2003, 13:58

bumpidy doodah
18-10-2003, 13:41
Alright. Wallah, you can have the two you want.
18-10-2003, 13:43

18-10-2003, 13:46
Whenever we get the non-optional characters filled.

He's angered quickly in which occasion he starts hitting random people shorter than him with random objects lying around.
