Summertime

Introduction
(Relax and play this fitting music as you read.)
It's every adolescent's favorite time of the year. There's just something about the long summer days and nights, the hot sun, the beach, the music, the people know and meet that is irresistible. Or perhaps, you may just be glad to be out of the prison-like routine of school. Whatever reason you may have, everyone loves this time. The summertime.

The local high school students are no exception. Today marks the last day for John C. McCormick high school and the anticipation is practically buzzing in the air. Some people are looking forward to traveling and taking vacations to tropical islands, mountains, or other cool places, though a great deal of the young men and women are staying in town at Coral Shore and making the best of it. Many of the students are excited for a huge party that is being thrown at Lance Flynn's beach house. Apparently, his parents are out of town (as they usually are) and everyone is going to be there. Will you?

This is our story, and we are the authors.

Welcome
Hmm... That intro wasn't as good as the last one. Ah well. It gets the point across.

Hey everyone, and welcome to my thread.

I just want to forewarn all of you that this roleplay will deal with mature themes including, but not limited to, alcohol, sex, profanity drug use and abuse, and violence. If any of these make you uncomfortable, I suggest you leave now.

Rules

• Use your common sense.
• Play fair.
• Show respect.
• Demonstrate maturity.
• Keep the sex to the PMs.
• Try to include everyone.
• If you post a CS I am expecting your involvement. Don't disappear without telling me.
• Read the Welcome if you didn't see my warning.
• I reserve the right to change, add to, or alter these rules at any time for any reaosn.

Useful Information
In this section I'm just going to provide you all with some basic information about the roleplay and the ideas I have planned.

The roleplay takes place in Coral Shore, Florida. (No, there's no coral here...) This is a suburban town to the north of Tampa right on the Gulf of Mexico. There are four main areas: the boardwalk (...near the shore. There's stores, restaurants... all the commercial stuff is here. a bit farther away from the shore is the town hall, post office, etc.), the beach (...there's some palm trees... and sand... and water...), the beach houses (richer families live here, some are vacation homes. these are right on the water and very, very nice), and the neighborhood (average houses, farther away from the shore).

For the first night, I plan on everyone going to Lance Flynn's party at his awesome beach house mansion. Since most of us all go to the same school we should at least be acquainted with one another already. But this doesn't mean you can't make new friends. Now, since Lance's parents are gone, our characters can spend the night at the house. I'm not planning on having anyone getting arrest on the first night. When everyone wakes up, they all go to the local coffee shop to fight their hangovers and then from there, I'll let the story go.

Also, just so you all know, I'm making my character 16 and a junior. Just in case you want the characters to be in the same general age group.

[LetterA]

Rebecca Ahn-Chae

Nickname(s): Baby, Bee
Gender: Female
Age: Eighteen
Grade: Senior~

Appearance: Standing at a petite 5'1, most kids tower over over the senior girl, also often having her mistaken for much younger age than she actually is. With shoes at an american size four, she often has to either shop at the kid's section or get them abroad- the former for cheapness, the latter for adorable shoes.
Usual Clothing: Baby's attire consists of several different things, actually, and not just one specific thing. Her attire usually consists of the same clothes, just mismatched amongst one another, often small and from abroad, the sizes in america being too big for her. Her clothes consists of frills and ribbons on Sundays specifically, the other days open to anything in the ulzzang category- both feminine and masculine attire. Even with the manliest of clothes, all Baby has to do is fix her hair a certain way and ba~ng! Insta- cute!

Personality: On the outside, Baby's a very sweet and flirtatious girl, clinging to anyone nearby- and by "anyone", mostly guys. With large eyes and pouty lips, with a look of innocence she lures in unsuspecting victims. She trades kisses with both guys and girls, flirts with both genders as well, but most noticeably winks and presses herself against males the most. A stereotypical asian when it comes to academics, she loves to help any who need it and tends to be easily embaressed by the simplest of things. Inside, however, she's very, very calculative. Having trained herself in the ways of flirting at a young age (thanks to the internet), she now sees it as a game, how far can she fool a guy for how long? To act a certain way, to respond in a certain manner, all done in quick calculations in her head. More than that, however, she's very narcissistic. Though she may turn questions and interest into other people in a rather obvious manner, somehow she slips small facts about herself that light her in a brighter manner. When the going gets rough and the dirt gets muddy, Baby's a biiiiitch.

Hobbies: The little Baby likes practicing her make-up skills in her free time, as well as trying out new hairstyles. She secretly also studies when she has a day reserved for it- hey, contrary to popular belief, Asians aren't smart at everything. When she's procrastinating on things, she frequents the web and goes online shopping, as well as join chat sites to, yes, roleplay. Outside of her house, she's often found in someone else's house, either smoking a joint, a pipe, or doing the nasty in bed.
Likes: There's something irresistible about strawberries and grapes to Baby, as well as the colour combo of pink and blue. She also secretly really likes science, even though if she showed it she'd look like a total dweeeeb. Let's not forget parties, the irresistible highs of both drugs and adrenaline rushes, and sex. She has a special box stored with letters complimenting her or letters declaring her love, and she's pretty intent on keeping it.
Dislikes: She's annoyed by people that are socially awkward and don't know it. Like, honestly, she just wants to swerve basic bitches for not knowing when to stop talking. More than that, she hates when people talk behind her back and say shit online that they can totally say to her face- and after posting all that act all normal and sweet irl. Like excuuuuse me bitch, swerve.
Fears: Although a decent enough swimmer, Baby's still pretty afraid of drowning. She's also terrified of heights, and naturally, spiders.
Imperfections: She's very easily jealous. When Baby's friends' attentions are stolen by someone else, Baby will instantly hate them.
She also has a birthmark on the end of her spine, but it looks pretty cool- or so everyone says. She acts confident and proud about it, but is secretly rather conscious about it.
In middle school, she used to play GuyGal games on her PSP.
She has a PSP.

Short History: (Woww I hate bios) Baby's lived a normal enough childhood- rich pretty girl with always busy parents. She matured quickly enough and warmed up to her assigned nannies, busying herself on the internet at the wee precious age of seven. From then, she discovered forums where she pretended to be something she wasn't- happy, older, smarter. As time went on, the personas she came up with slowly transformed her into whatever she wanted. Soon, she was as outgoing and crazy as the characters she pretended to be on screen, bottling up anger and directing questions at others to try and act more mysterious. By the beginning of middle-school, she was one of the first few girls to get their hands on some make up and try it out. She tried different styles from different magazines, but what really caught her eye was the unique Ulzzang style of koreans from a magazine her ulzzang gang wannabe babysitter bought. From then on, she immersed herself in the unique style of ulzzangs- and asians as a whole, actually. BB creme, circle lenses, clip on bangs, dying her hair on the different ranges of browns, that was her. And, due to a bet which included her wearing short shorts year round, her nice legs were shown off. And that, is how she became uber popular by the end of the seventh grade.
During middle school, however, was when she also got into her obsession about attracting as many guys as she can. To do some research, she decided to play a GuyGal game. And...accidentally got addicted. Around grade eight, when she finally realized she was along the top places of the popularity food chain and came to the conclusion that she didn't want to lose the spot, dropped her GuyGal games. Of course, she has yet to sell them, keeping them hidden away in the attic, along with a few other videogames she never got to playing on her PSP.
Now at high school, her parents became separated. Not exactly divorced, no, her mum moved elsewhere for her job, and her dad didn't want to move because life here was treating him pretty well, so they decided that separation would have to do for now. Not that it mattered to her- it just meant that her mum wasn't there during the weekends when she usually was, and Baby didn't really mind that too much. She got a circle of friends, a number of guys that want entrance between her thighs- life is good~

Other: (Will also Edit.)

Alec Blane Taylor

Nickname(s): Fish, Fishy, Alec
Gender: Alec
Age: Seventeen
Grade: Junior

Appearance: Fishy stands at a lanky 5'10, with a slightly underaverage weight, but thankfully, that's the "in" look now. His locks are a dirty blonde, brown around some roots and lighter at the ends.
Usual Clothing: The usual hipster-rich boy attire- brand name tees and jeans, all ripped and styled to make him look shit-poor, but at the same time, brilliantly rich.

Personality: Fishy's a dick. That's his honest to god outer personality. He's the guy snickering about other kids, the guy that calls out the things girls are super embarassed about, the guy that wears sunglasses at night, and maybe sometimes indoors. What makes him twice as bad is that he's smart- and he knows it. He's observant about things, and when someone makes a mistake and nobody notices- Fishy will no doubt call them out on it. He seems to carry on well this way, surrounding himself with a pack of similar minded folks and snagging a similarly minded lady. Behind closed doors, he's surprisingly quiet. Using up all his energy in entertaining others and himself, he likes to spend the rest of his time thinking, daydreaming, trying to strengthen his mental abilities. Well, that and trying to figure out ways to style his hair in different ways. In all honesty, he's afraid of doing things that others don't approve of. Being mean to others makes him aware that it can work the other way, too.

Hobbies: As a surprise as it may come to others, Fishy's an artist. He likes to draw in his free time, sometimes dabbling with watercolours when he gets hands on them. Though his talent in realism and landscapes are to die for, he tends not to display it, hiding it away. He knows first hand how mean people can be sometimes. He's intrigued a lot by science though he won't admit it to others- especially stars. There's something about them that Fishy wants to capture on film or paper, but can't seem to. Other things he frequents are sports, be it ultimate frisbee, soccer, football, and though not having tried it yet, he really wants to do some sky diving.
Likes: Fishy likes eating meat. His favourite food would have to be one of them girl scout thin mint cookies. Whenever Girl Scout Cookies Season rolls around, the dude stocks up on the shit. He doesn't really have a favourite colour, being a tad bit colour blind. He likes the cool colours, though, like blue and green and violet. They give off a nice feeling. He doesn't really have a personal object that he favours, but he has been wearing the same studs for five years now...?
Dislikes: As ironic as it is, Fish has a distaste for fish. And other sea food, for that matter. Then there are those girls that copy the popular gals to try and sneak their way in- easy to bed, but GODS they're so fuckin' annoying. He hates when someone fights back after he makes a remark, because that turns the playful atmosphere into a serious one- and Fishy fuckin haaaates being serious. The guy also doesn't like it too much when people chew gum with their mouths open. Or chew anything with mouths open, actually.
Fears: Car crashes. Reckless driving, basically he's scared of killing himself because of doing something stupid. It's because when you die doing something stupid, that makes it to the news and then gets spread around Safety Ed classes. He doesn't wanna be remembered that way, yo.
Imperfections: His dick's not as big as he brags it to be. He notices things too much- it makes him easily distracted, and thus, a terrible listener. Not that he has a rep as a listener to defend, anyways. Fish also tends to get angry when on a certain kind of weed. He also shouts a lot when playing videojuegos. Is that an imperfection?

Short History: Fishy's on the alright side when it comes to life. Mum works as a nurse, dad works in construction. Not enough to get them a mansion, but enough to get them by with some Apple products and brand name shit. He had an older brother, but the guy died when Fishy was six, due to an automobile accident. Fishy used to be called Alec up to fourth grade, when he was making faces with a popular girl named Trisha. She squeezed his cheeks till his lips formed a fishy face to which she giggled, "Awe! Cute Fishy!" From then on, he was called Fishy. It doesn't even matter that the girl moved right before sixth grade- the name stuck. Not that he minded, the girl was his first crush after all. Because of that nickname, he placed a spot on "most popular dudes at school", filling the spot of "pack leader of mean guys who are dick faces". It was a spot he easily filled, and was revered for by other gangsta-slash-hipster wannabes. Eighth grade swung around, and soon he was getting into drugs and drinking. Age fifteen, he lost the V card.
Don't know what else to say derp

Other: He's dating Marley Hodges. He also drives a cute little accord.
Drugs, sex and bitches, baby. He tends not to drink, but hit him up with a joint and he'd happily smoke it.
Got a homemade tat of an anchor on his right buttcheek.

Lol all right. I gotta work on my character soon too

[PrettyLittleLia]

Alexandria Joselyn Buckingham
Nickname(s): Axie, Blondie (All of the guys give her this nickname)
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Grade: Junior

Appearance:

Usual Clothing:
Dresses, skirts, boots, heels, knecklaces and rings. Everything really. Her style is usually quite bohemian. (I'll post a picture of her outfit everytime I post a new one.)

Personality:
Axie is a sweet girl. The sweetest, in fact. There isn't a mean bone in her body. She has a heart of gold. She's the one all of her friends come to when they need a mediator because no matter what, she always tries to see both sides of a story. It's part of who she is; she hates to judge someone before she's heard their side of things. You only get one chance with her though. She's lovely when you meet her, the nicest person, one noone would ever want to hurt because she's got a smile like sunshine and a personality to match. Thats why if you do hurt her, there's hardly ever a return from that. She wouldn't be hostile towards you, she'd simply lock you out of her heart. Sure, she'd smile and talk to you, but that as close as you're ever getting again. So don't cross her, because Axie is a friend you don't want to lose.
Axie is the kind of person who has to try everything. She can't sit still for a moment, she needs constant movement and something she can be working on because if not, she bores pretty easily. She may have a soft, cushy personality when it comes to her friend but when it comes to a project she's working on or a skill she wants to master, she won't give in until its done.

Hobbies:
She reads, she sings, she plays guitar, she cheerleads. She draws (not very well) and she rides horses. She's tried to cook in the past...and quickly learned that she shouldn't ever be allowed into the kitchen. Cooking is the one thing she gave up on because she almost gave her entire family salmonella one time when she tried to make Chicken.

Likes:

Food: Fajitas
Color: Red
Personal Object: Pendant, which she always wears.

Some other random stuff:
Cuddling
Hiking
Her horse, Winter
The season Winter
Shoes
Reading
Writing
Cheerleading

Dislikes:
Liars
Two-Faced people
Vodka
Cigarettes
Alarm Clocks
Hospitals
Arrogance
Laziness

Fears:
Spiders
Failure
Losing her friends
Losing her parents
The future and what comes next, once High School is over.

Imperfections:
The way she obsesses over making sure everything is perfect. Axie has to be perfect. Perfect hair, perfect clothes, perfect everything. And everything around her needs to be perfect. Perfect relationships. Thats her major flaw, and it's all her mothers fault. She suffers from major OCD.

Short History:

Axie was born into a loving family. She was the youngest of four children by six years and by the time she enterred high school, her siblings were a doctor, a lawyer and studying dentistry at Cambridge in London. No pressure, right? Right.
So Axie did everything she possibly could to try and live up to her siblings, but it was never good enough. Her mother was always; "Oh, Victoria saved a mans live the other day." or, "Johnothan won a case the other day. He's not lost one since he enterred the firm." or "Elizabeth got yet another exam back. Top marks, as always. She't top of her class at University.". And, as if her mothers expectations weren't enough, Axie had been automatically shifted into the populars due to her older sisters and her older brother having been top of the school while they were there.
The Buckinghams practically dominated the school; her sisters and brothers had all graduated with highest honours and everyone was expectingthe same of Axie. Lately, though, the pressure has been getting to her and she's been letting things slip. Thats why she's so pleased it's summer. She can finally let go, let herself be herself and just enjoy the sun with her friends.

Other:

which her mother does not know about.
She has her belly pierced.

Marley Abigail Hodges

Nickname(s): None
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Grade: 11th

Usual Clothing: Marley enjoys warm, earthy tones and flowery patters. Her clothes usually reflect this. She's never been one for bright colors and can't stand skirts. Her clothes are all about versatility. Most of the time they're fancy enough to be worn out in public, but remove a few of the frilly extras and they're great for working as well. She's partial to boots and sandals as well, depending on the weather. Hats are another thing she likes. Her outfits usually consist of short or jeans and a pretty, yet not to over done top. Her hair is usually pulled back into a braid or ponytail, as its long enough that it gets in the way a lot if its left down.

Personality: Marley is the kind of person who loves to get the last laugh. Pranks are her specialty and she puts her heart and soul into them. She's very personable as well, being able to engage in rather deep conversation. She's a bit sarcastic and cynical, but not to the point where it gets too annoying. She likes to point out when other people are wrong, and prides herself greatly in doing so. That said, she gets very upset when she ends up being wrong or people don't realize that she was right in the long run. Deep down, she's not all that trusting, but its not like she's completely shut other people out. She's lazy and loves to procrastinate. Marley is never afraid to say what she actually thinks, no matter who she's around. Her motto is societal norms be damned, I'm doing whatever I want.

Hobbies: Mechanics, homegrown science experiments, reading, getting into arguments on the internet, watching other people and pointing out their flaws, sleeping, playing string bass
Likes: Marley really loves the color green and lobster. Her prized possession is her upright bass. She's also partial to ferrets, has an odd love for monopoly, and the literary works of Machiavelli. Her combat boots are pretty high up there on her list as well along with her complete set of Dickens novels. She's also got an old Volkswagen Beetle that she fixed up by herself that she loves to death.
Dislikes: Marley can't stand air heads, mostly because arguing with them is the definition of boring. She also doesn't like most modern literature, unless its exceptionally good. Electronic music annoys the crap out of her, along with bright colors.
Fears: Horses are the stuff of nightmares to her. The dark and death are also other things that scare the hell out of her. Besides that, thunderstorms are terrifying to Marley as well.
Imperfections: She's sarcastic and cynical, as previously stated. She also has a scar on her forehead that she got from falling out of her bunk bed at a young age which she covers up with her bangs. Her disregard of societal norms makes her come off as rude. Marley's laziness would also be another downside.

Short History: Marley's parents are freelance artists who live off of some lottery winnings from years ago. They're pretty well known in the art world. Smart investing and a bit of luck means that they're set for life. She's an only child, mostly due to the fact that she was terrible as a baby. Her parents decided shortly after she was born that they had no need or want for anymore children. Luckily, she mellowed out as she grew up. Her parents moved around quite a bit, looking for the perfect place to find their muses. Luckily, Marley was never really too concerned with having long term friends, and those that she did make she was never to sad to say goodbye to. They settled in Coral Shore pretty well when she was eleven and have been there ever since.

Other: Marley partakes in some recreational drugs from time to time, mostly just weed though. She's tried harder stuff before, but none of it ever set with her right. She keeps it too weekends only though. Her education is important enough to her that she wouldn't want to risk messing it up. She's also dating Alec Taylor, more commonly known as Fishy.

Oliver Ryan Rivers

Nickname(s): Ollie
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Grade: 10th

Usual Clothing: Oliver loves things that are comfy. He's not one to ever get dressed up and adores bright colors and unique designs. Boring clothes are his worst enemy, so his t-shirts always have some kind of vibrant design on them. He doesn't like full length pants much, usually preferring shorts unless its abnormally cold or raining super hard. He hates shoes in general and can often be seen going bare foot. If he does have to go somewhere with shoes though, he's got a nice pair of flip flops that he likes.

Personality: Ollie is an extrovert to the extreme. To him, a day without hanging out with someone is a day wasted. He gets bored easily and doesn't like sitting around too much. He will stay seated if he's watching TV though, which is about the only thing that can keep him inside. He does like to have someone with him when staying inside though. Oliver is all over the emotional spectrum. He can go from happy to sad in a second and is often over dramatic about it. Recently though, he's started doing this as a sort of a comedic thing along with when he is being his usual over dramatic self. When he's alone, which is rarely, Oliver has the odd habit of talking to himself to fill up the silence. Clingy is another word that could describe him as well, though he tends to stick to guys more than girls for some reason. He's not the brightest, but has a way with words, letting him talk his way out of most situations. That being said, he can get annoying and is no stranger to being bullied because of that. He's also been known to try a bit too hard to fit in.

Hobbies: Being with other people, seeing movies, watching TV, partying, and pretty much whatever his friends do.
Likes: Peaches and blackberries are his favorite food and purple is his favorite color. He also has a fondness for vanilla flavored things, parrots, and sunny days. His favorite personal belonging is, and shush don't tell anyone, a teddy bear that he got from his family. Being close to other people is something else that he enjoys a little bit too much.
Dislikes: He's allergic to strawberries, thus he can't stand them. On top of that, he hates being yelled at, romantic-comedy movies, and math.
Fears: Fear of abandonment tops the list of things he's afraid of. He's also afraid of dogs, particularly very large ones. He can't do heights to well either. He's also afraid that he'll never live up to anyone's expectations.
Imperfections: Oliver is clingy, needy, and overly emotional. He tends to throw himself into things without thinking as well. Physically, he's on the shorter side, which he's always viewed as a downside.

Short History: Oliver was adopted when he was seven by a very rich couple who couldn't have children of their own. He doesn't really remember much before that, other than the fact that his life seemed to be relatively normal. Despite his life being great by every definition of the word, he's always had abandonment issues. His thought process has always been that if his real parents gave him up there must have been something wrong with him. He's never once given thought to the idea that they were having problems that had nothing to do with him. Apart from that, he's lived at Coral Shore since he was seven and has had a rather good childhood. He spent the summer after ninth grade in France with his parents, and fell hard for someone while he was there. By the end of the summer though, both agreed that a long distance relationship probably wouldn't work out. They still keep in touch from time to time.

Other: None as of now!

James Enjay
Nickname(s):
Jay
Gender:
Male
Age:
16
Grade:
Junior Appearance:

6'2", grey eyes, and a thin- if fit- figure.
Usual Clothing:
Jeans, hiking boots, and a t-shirt most of the time. As well as nearly always present ear-buds.
Personality:
Depending on who he's around, James can hit two sides of the spectrum. Around those he isn't familiar with, he's the quiet guy. Sits back, reads, listens to hit tunes, and generally tries to stay out of trouble. He's found that ghosting it out and avoiding the big trouble-makers is what will get him through school and keep him on the teachers good-side. At least, that's what he likes people to think. In the presence of friends, however, he can be quite open and.... kind of a walking comedy act. And a monkey. He's loyal to his friends and a bit shy around girls- Unless he knows them well, at which point he's a bit of a flirt. Joking most of the time. But a flirt. Hobbies:
Again- This depends on who's around. Alone, he'll just read. While hanging upside down wherever he is. Around his friends, he'll do whatever they feel like doing. Or drag them all along to go climbing somewhere generally dangerous and high.
Likes:
Food- Belgian Waffles
Color- Orange
Personal Object- A slim, whitegold chain necklace.
Dislikes:
He simply can't stand perfect symmetry. For reasons he doesn't understand himself, it just irritates him. If your house is neat, you can bet it won't be when he leaves.
Fears:
He can't do needles, he can't do spiders, and he has a very, very nasty fear of fire. Not small ones, like candles or camp fires, but if something actually goes up in flames? You'll be carrying him out of that building in a state of shock. He never says why...
Imperfections:
He doesn't go to lengths to hide it, but if one were to ever catch him with his shirt off a large burn scar would become visible on the left half of his ribs, and a good part of his back. Perhaps this explains his fear of fires? He also has the bad habit of muttering to himself. Usually not very pleasant things, either...
Short History:
I'm horrid at these- So I'll keep it to a summary.
He had a decent life, mostly. Good parents, an awesome brother. Raised well and kept active. Riiiight up until his families home burned to the ground. HIs brother died in the fire, he received scarring from his own burns, and his parents were mortified. Things returned -mostly- to normal once he reached highschool. Mostly. He gets on now without too much issue in public, at least.

Other:
*Flail* I like turtles. And sorry for the shitty history. Not my forte. Oh, and did I mention he has a motorcycle license? And a motorcycle? A nice, cross country Harley, at that. And who said driving age and "Buy his love" parents doesn't pay off?
