I gotta say, I love Cas and definitely want him to be friends with my Jesse!  >:)

[diarmuid]

Ooh, I'd be nice if Alex and Cas could become friends!  ;D

[la dame en noir]

Damn. I think my girl is going to end up being the only lesbian again lola

[Lady Sakura]

Keep the faith love. You never know.

Jfc. That's Cas' baby's name. xDDD He brings up things about his baby and confuses everyone.

I gotta say, I love Cas and definitely want him to be friends with my Jesse!  >:)

Jesse looks like trouble hahahah. If she runs a lot of parties though then maybe that's the kind of thing Cas ended up haunting with Noah. Noah was a senior of two years over her so he'd more than likely know Jesse and probably introduced them in the first place. (Cas probably didn't find trouble naturally himself until Noah influenced him. Too many stereotypes about how x group is dangerous from the parents.)

[Ana 1360]

I like your CS Shobogun. Tommy probably knew Casandra and is confused a bit by Cas but he's a sweet enough guy that he would want to try to get unconfused.

Cas would appreciate that greatly. *w* Probably end up thinking he's funny whenever he slips up rather than hurtful and making jokes about it.

Your right he would slip up but it would never be malicious or intentional.

[Jason Hunter]

Sorry for the silence on my side guys, work has been a real pain. I am open to all kinds of drama and connections if anyone wants. Ari, are you still keen on the romantic interest between our 2 characters?

[Lyron]

Because I couldn't resist...although I might drop one of them, depending on how plotting goes, and that's assuming both are given the OK.

NAME: Trenton Isaiah Bugg
AGE: 18
HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 5'7", 140lbs
HAIR COLOR: Blond
EYE COLOR: Blue
DISTINGUISHING MARKS:

Face Claim: Hunter Hayes

BEST KNOWN FOR: Nerd, charity nut
PLANS: A university in the state for computer science
DREAMS: Game Developer
CAR: A blue '05 Toyota Echo that used to belong to his mom.
PARENTS: His father works in insurance and his mom waitresses in the mornings at the diner. They aren't too comfortable with certain "lifestyle choices" and don't want to hear about it, but he's close to them.
HOME: Green Acres
HOBBIES: Board and video games, computer programming, volunteer work, swimming, camping, canoeing, watching porn

ABOUT: Sweet and outgoing Trent, the boy who once dreamed of being the hero but would wet himself at the thought of standing up to a bully, who otherwise acted selflessly toward anyone...as long as they weren't, or looked like, a jerk or a troublemaker. He came from humble beginnings, his parents moving into one of the smaller but comfortable homes in Green Acres to start their family. Wesley, his evil brother, came first, and then, two years later, Trent. His mom did volunteer work whenever she had the free time, and the whole family went to church every week--for several years. Wesley stopped around middle school. Trent didn't, not even after he came out, despite the isolation and "I'll pray for you"s.

Yep, Trent's gay, and some people probably suspected a little before he did, with his subtle-but-not-really sideward glances at other guys. He came out late freshman year, first to friends, then to his parents, and then to everyone else. It was one of the most stressful things he ever did, and it had its downsides, but not hiding it any longer than he did left him content.

Trent existed somewhat comfortably as a socially awkward nerd, but the summer before senior year, he desired to be a little more than that. He, for the most part, shirked the bedhead 'do that dominated his first three years, started lifting weights, not at all to the point of being a stud, but enough to make a difference. Oh, but he was still that socially awkward dork. That didn't change, although he made some attempts to change that with varying levels of success. No parties, never anything too wild, but this summer, part of him wants to let loose a little, just to enjoy this summer before "the beginning of the rest of his life".

MOMENTS OF GLORY: Helped put together a coat drive junior year.

MOMENTS OF SHAME: That one time junior year when he knocked over his drink and had to walk around with a wet spot on his pants for the next couple hours. When he swiped a few bucks from the church bake sale because he really wanted to buy a game that just came out. There was also that time he developed feelings for a friend, or someone friendly, and became too attached: started appearing at the same places as him, sometimes sat a little too closely, and to top the awkwardness off, when things were already probably going south, he kissed him. Trent has kept his distance from that point on and can still bareley look him in the eye.

BIGGEST REGRET: Freshman year, when he tried dating a girl just to see if he could like it, but decided that he didn't after only one date, but he didn't want to hurt her feelings by breaking up with her so he tried to stick with it and hope that she would quickly lose interest, but that plan didn't last long because he started to outright avoid her and her texts, eventually leading her to get the hint. He tried to apologize, but he never explained why. She probably understood once she received the news later that year.

STORY ARCS: Open to virtually anything, but some ideas: someone he can let loose with, corruption, someone he let down (or will let down) in their moment of need, developing a friendship with someone he might have otherwise avoided due to their reputation or appearance. Anyone who wants to be the girl he dated back in freshman year or his awkward crush could also be cool.

NAME: Sean Micheal Acker
AGE: 18
HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 6'1", 153lbs
HAIR COLOR: Light Brown
EYE COLOR: Brown
DISTINGUISHING MARKS: On his left pec, he has in script: "I love you, you were ready, the pain is strong and urges rise / But I'll see you when He let's me / Your pain is gone, your hands untied". Instead of having an eighteenth birthday party, that was how he celebrated. These other two shortly followed: on his right and on his left.

Face Claim: Chris Green

BEST KNOWN FOR: The occasional hallway performance in which he sings obnoxiously loud, and purposefully off-key. Metal/rock head. Class clown. Drifter.
PLANS: To go to Chicago and join a band.
DREAMS: Rockstar
CAR: Black '99 Pontiac Sunfire
PARENTS: His mom is a graphic designer for a local company. Their relationship is like a roller coaster. His real dad is in a one-hit single rock band who had a sound similar to The Offspring. They haven't talked, and no, it's not something he's told anyone else. He has a step-dad, whose last name Sean never took when his mom tied the knot with him. His last name isn't his mom's maiden name either.
HOME: Green Acres
HOBBIES: Music, singing, playing drums, playing guitar a little less, partying, basketball

ABOUT: Sean was always a little shit, from gaining his best friend after making fun of his big ears to making his mom lock herself in her room one evening after playing Torment the Boyfriend one too many times. He was born in Chicago, and was only seven when his dad, the man his mom was a hundred percent certain she would marry, ditched them to go on tour with his band. Sean barely understood it at the time, since no one really explained it to him, but later understood why his mom always changed the station whenever this one new song played. They left the city shortly after and went to live with his grandparents while his mom went back to school.

That was when he met the best friend, Josh. They became like too peas in a pod after that incident, and later they tried to start a band that Sean was kicked out of after pissing off their singer. Josh, that loyal puppy, left, too, so that they could do their own thing for a while, like Twenty One Pilots, but only more awesome, because it was them. They even had their own YouTube channel, BrosWithAxes. It was a dumb name. Sean didn't know why he picked it. The duo was doomed for failure. His mom had been dating this one man pretty seriously, and they finally decided to tie the knot the summer before his freshman year. Good for her. Only problem was, she wanted to move in with him and his kid in some rinky-dink little town called Greenfield. That was an hour away. Sean and Josh tried to make it work, staying over at each other's houses on the weekends when they could. That was fine for a while, until, junior year, Josh decided he didn't want to live anymore.

Sean was always a guy with a huge sense of humor, often to the point of using it to avoid utter seriousness, that kind where someone wanted to talk about their deep troubles. Sometimes that humor could be a little pointed when someone could handle it, and occasionally he could go a little too far, but he tried to balance it out with the way he was openly affectionate with friends, because, ultimately, to him, words were shit, actions meant something. After the incident, his humor found new heights, where he became twice as annoying and far more insulting, until he pushed many people away and someone finally knocked some sense into him, quite literally. Then it was a matter of getting through the rest of the grief.

Now that he's free from mind-numbing school, he's still set on joining a kickass band, but he wants to enjoy the summer first.

MOMENTS OF GLORY: Senior year, when he streaked down the hall with Mr. Stickler, the principal, chasing after him, his clothes covering his crotch, his pert buttocks flapping in the stale air. There was also that time he made someone spit coffee out on one of the biggest bitches at the school.

MOMENTS OF SHAME: That time in junior year when he pissed off one of the biggest guys at school and got knocked flat on his back. When he was trying to put the moves on this girl who was stoned out of her mind. She was already giggly, and apparently his penis was downright hilarious.

BIGGEST REGRET: Not being able to stop Josh.

STORY ARCS: Pretty much anything, but a couple ideas: anything dealing with music, rebuilding a friendship, could have maybe bullied someone for a brief period. If anyone wants a step-brother or wants to be the guy to punch Sean, that's cool, too.

[Lady Sakura]

Because I couldn't resist...

I can't believe that little hamper trap with the Skittles under it actually worked. 😄 Welcome! They look like they'll be fun to mess around with and cause trouble.

[diarmuid]

Having more LGBT characters is always fun! ;D Alex could take Trent partying, queer boys gotta stick together ;p

Tommy Mulvaney surely would have been the guy who punched Sean.  Great Character Sheets by the way.

[Amarlo]

I'm just going to repost what I posted the other day, in case some people missed it. :P

So I'm glancing through all of the characters and here is my list of people that were more glaringly obvious potentials in my eyes of who my Jesse could know/hang out with/be friends with - and the circles they may have in common

The list:
Tommy - Band Geeks, Stoners, Goths TBD
Leanne - Her work on production customs for the Theater, I'm guessing.
Jonas - Nerdy with a streak of delinquency >.> (Jess probably had a lil crush on him at some point)
Alex Brioschi - Stoners, Arts - She likely could have been very protective of him (To the point of possibly overdoing it on a few occasions) with his journey into Trans.
Sarah Winters - Goths, Band - Likely respects her capabilities in a fight, very liable for a potential close friendship.
Cas - Outcasts - His pregnancy, and them potentially knowing each other through Noah, likely has Jesse pretty pissed about him ghosting.
Sean - Metal/rock heads, Class clowning TBD
Viktor - Jessie was a part of little league when she was in middle school and late elementary. She played with the boys and was a pretty talented player. She could have been on a team at some point with him.
Isis -

I am so sorry Dame! I don't know how I missed it. I'm fairly certain Isis's connection to Band and her hobbies in video gaming has potential for her and Jessie to know each other. However, I'm fairly certain at this point that Jessie could be considered a bully to her.

Isis is extremely talented, and seems to have that 'perfect life' that kids like Jessie would just instantly be jealous of. She's not very good at zipping her lips like she probably should, so she's probably said some rather insensitive things towards Isis out of pure jealousy. I can see her calling her "Miss America" - as if that's a bad thing - and "The next god damned Martha Stewart." :P

If that doesn't suit you, I'd be more than happy to discuss other possibilities as well. ^^

If anyone has any disagreements, ideas or additional notes, please don't hesitate to speak up! Also, if you weren't listed and have some thoughts/plot bunnies, feel free to poke at me as well. ^^

I am unashamed to admit that I fell for it hook, line, and sinker. :D Roxy sounds fun. I'm always up for having my characters being toyed with, or anything else, really. Trent would have been more like child's play, probably. Sean's happy to give what he gets, although probably not as cunning, and rarely mean-spirited. Any retaliation from Trent would be, if given the right motivation.

Having more LGBT characters is always fun! ;D Alex could take Trent partying, queer boys gotta stick together ;p

But of course they do! ;D A friend will certainly be welcome for helping him dip his toes in the water, so to speak. And Trent absolutely loves that Alex put together a Spectrum group. The only thing that makes him frown is that they can't be a part of it longer. Trent could have been supportive of Alex after his coming out, and could have even sought him out directly if they weren't already talking at the time.

And how would Alex feel about being called Broski? If for no other reason than because it doesn't sound all that different from his last name. Sean says he's tempted.

Tommy Mulvaney surely would have been the guy who punched Sean.  Great Character Sheets by the way.

Certainly can't disagree with that. Tommy looks like a guy who would leave a lasting impression. Depending on when the car accident happened and your own interest in the idea, Sean could have run his mouth about that, or maybe about Tommy's dead brother (totally overlooked that they share the same name--my bad XD). I'd just need to think of a good why for such attacks, aside from maybe actually wanting to get his head knocked off. I suppose there's little more socially destructive than picking a fight with the star quarterback, especially if it might have led to undesirable consequences for Tommy. Could have happened during that year's football season, if you want. Also open to discussing other angles.

Thanks! All the characters in here look like a lot of fun.

Sean - Metal/rock heads, Class clowning

Ooh, might need to see Jessie in action first, but she could be one of Sean's favorite people. There could be potential for an unhealthy friendship, maybe. At the very least, maybe something that involves them being nasty to each other on occasion, in a way that might leave them simmering for a while, but it's also weirdly cathartic. There might be a limit to how far he can go 'cause he's not a delinquent, but I'd be open to discussing other potential relationships or backstories.

O: I love those kinds of relationships! She's sort of the type that'll walk up to a friend and be like "Sup, whore. -upnod and tough guy act.-" or yell from across the cafeteria "SKAAAANK!" and flip them the bird as a greeting, fully expecting something along the same lines in return. Lmfao.  We definitely need to plot. >D

[la dame en noir]

My girl could use some connections as well. Cause as of right now, she's the only lesbian and black girl in this entire roleplay lol

Sarah does swing all the ways. If ya know.

Hey guys.  Sorry for my silence over the last few days.  This last weekend didn't go like I thought it was and instead of having the free time I had planned it turned into something crazy and hectic.

Regardless, I'll be continuing the PMs I started Friday, and I'll be PMing everyone else who submitted a character sheet since then.

Thanks for your patience.
