Her name was Rose Henley, and she died last week. Before her death she wrote a letter, it listed names of those responsible. They were the ones she blamed or more so those who were behind her ending act, as she considered it. Rose was a friend to some, otherwise she went throughout life almost unnoticed. She was sweet, kind, mysterious, and dark. The death of Rose came from left field, causing a ripple in the pond of Brennen. The name's listed were classmates from all over the social ladder, causing a stir-up and frenzy at the high school as somehow the letter was leaked.

Something had gone on between Rose and each person listed, something the people of Brennen had no clue of. Rose Henley might of not had a great social life or family life, but she had money from her father Thomas Henley, as Brennen's only town accountant and an up-and-coming candidate for mayor. The controversy came from his status and from the kids who were connected to Rose. No one would be so interested in the matter if those listed were of just bad blood, but each were known enough in the small town of Brennen as someone.

Why did Rose kill herself? Why was your name listed? What was your connection? Who are the others listed?

This is just an idea I had around my head, thought it might be fun to do for now. It's suppose to be very detailed and plot driven. Something happen to the girl that caused her so much pain and grief, or someone tried covering it up with a suicide. Each character has their reason to be afraid that it might have been them who done it. What is your reason for being so afraid, what did you do to Rose?

You don't have to throw up how you're connected yet. We'll expose those things IC.

Name: Junko Pham
Age: 17
Gender: Female 
Appearance:


Personality:
Junko is what a lot of people would call a rebel. She does whatever she wants and doesn't care about peoples judgments. She's rather confident in herself, but not as arrogant as some usually think. Junko is generally aloof, cold, and enigmatic to everyone around her. She'll shrug you off if she thinks your a waste of her time and doesn't consider most people close friends, let alone allow someone to get close to her.

Junko spent a good portion of her life very insecure, so she has always tried her hardest to stay far away from people as possible. Her own toxic feelings about herself tend to influence how she treats people, which is not always the friendliest.

History:
Out of the most profound things in Junko's childhood, she could only remember her parents divorce when she was six years old. She spent a lot of her time moving from Brennen to various cities, bouncing from her mother to her father. Junko never quite felt she fit in anywhere, and especially not Brennen, where in her early ages she was bullied in subtle ways that had a huge impact on her.

Junko was just barely able to survive middle school with a couple of close friends, but by the time she got into high school they had all grown apart. Junko fell in with the wrong crowd and joined a gang called the “Black Horses”, resulting in many unwanted fights, low drops in her grades, and a completely different attitude, if there was any semblance of innocence left in her. She has long grown apathetic to the world around her, and would usually not care about the suicide of a student, but her name ended up on the list of the girl Rose Henley...and she can't shake an eerie feeling about it.

Misc:

• Her mother is Vietnamese and her father is Japanese-American


• She enjoys playing basketball


• She's been in the Black horses for three years, and many around the school have nicknamed her the demon.

Okaaaay got my sheet done! Please let me know if there's anything I need to change.
(By the way, if any other characters want to be in the same gang as Junko that'd cool with me!)

Name: Nat Harper
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance:


Personality: Nat is a quiet boy, but don't let his appearance fool you. Though silent and nerdy in school, outside smokes, drinks, and wears several piercings. He is actually quite chatty when freed from the confines of an academic environment, but doesn't want people to find out about this side of him, because he prefers being unnoticed in school.

History: Nat grew up in a normal neighborhood, with a relatively normal family. His parents owned a bakery, and his older brother played in a band with dreams of becoming a rockstar. Nat was younger than his brother by eight years, and always looked up to him, even modeling his fashion sense and music tastes after him.

And thus, it came to him as an enormous shock when his brother Anthony committed suicide, in Nat's first year of middle school. Anthony had been relentlessly harassed and bullied because of his punk-like appearance and alternative music, often being accused of being a drug addict and a drunk. And so, not long after he graduated, and learned that all of his applications to his choice of colleges had been turned down, based on rumors that he had been involved in a hit-and-run, he killed himself.

This incident made Nat wary and distrustful of school life, and from then on he always made certain that no one found out about his secret life, following in his brother's footsteps.
Until he met Rose Henley.

Present Life: Following Rose Henley's death, he became slightly more erratic, smoking in secret on school grounds and sleeping in class, showing up to school looking like he hadn't slept in months. When his name came up on the list, he began skipping class, and spending more time wandering around the library, becoming more careless about keeping his two live separate.

Misc.: He is very frightened of both dogs and cats, and cannot swim well.

Name
Raina Jones

Age
16

Gender
Female

Appearance


Personality
Raina is a strange girl to say the least. She’s a very quirky person, seeming to live in a different world. She’s very artistic, preferring to express herself through her artwork or music. She’s usually seen carrying around a sketchbook, and often seen doodling in it. She also plays a variety of instruments and can be heard singing all the time. Her artistic and musical ability is incredible due to her spending her time with those two activities rather than socializing.

She’s very observant and perceptive, and has the ability to tell when someone is lying. Due to this, she loves people watching, and often able to catch the subtle clues and inner turmoil. When someone acts like they’re okay and they’re really not, Raina can see right through their tough exterior. Fortunately for that person, Raina is a great listener and is more than willing to help people work through their problems. Even though she doesn’t spend a lot of time trying to make friends, she’ll go out of her way to go cheer someone up.

Another notable thing about Raina is that she believes in the supernatural. She claims that she can see auras, ghosts… Things of that nature. Even skeptics will give a double-take about Raina and her peculiar tendencies. Stemming from her perceptive nature, Raina can seem like she’s staring right into your soul, and at times will remark a spot-on detail that will give chills to believers and non-believers alike.

History
Raina was always a bit different from anyone. It’s said, that babies can see the unworldly, and that’s why they often stare at seemingly nothing, crying or laughing. Most infants grow out of it, but not Raina. Her peculiar “sight” has never faded away, however, the things she saw and experienced seemed to not be detrimental in any way. For the most part, she was a happy child, and her parents brushed her strange tendencies off to imagination.

She never had many friends, her skills not lying in the social aspect whatsoever. However, the mystery surrounding her has coaxed many people to try to understand her, and to each one Raina has allowed a glimpse into the complexity of her life. Though she has very few friends that she can count on, Raine is well-liked for her kindness, her artistic ability and the respite she offers from the mundane-ness of life.

Despite the aloofness she radiates, all Raina has ever wanted was a friend who wouldn’t judge her. A boyfriend would be nice too, but she has developed an insecurity about herself due to people referring to her as a freak when she was younger. In high school, there are people who wouldn’t have anything to do with her, but even they are endlessly intrigued by her.

Misc
--Raina is a romantic
--Her favorite song is “When You’re Gone” by Avril Lavigne
--She’s fluent in four languages: French, Spanish, Italian, and English

Name: August Franklin West the Third
Nickname: Auggie
Age: 18
Gender: Male


Personality: Auggie is one of Brennen's golden boys, coming from one of the founding families and being at the top in both academics and athletics. He's known as a sweet, energetic, charming, and charismatic youth, who's got a bright future ahead of him. In front of people he is known to be very down-to-earth and social, but outside of school and of the public's eye is a very arrogant, narcissistic guy who believes he is a lot better than what the town deserves. Charming and witty, Auggie is also very full of sarcasm, having a good sense of humor.

When out in the public he has a strong sense of equality and just, putting up a facade that makes others believe he is truly a genuine, nice guy. He just needs to act that way until he is able to leave Brennen and be who he really wants to be. The real Auggie strongly believes that the world is only made for those who are capable of handling it, believing that the world is really the survival of the fittest.

History: August West the Third was born to the West family, coming from the direct lineage of one of the founding families of Brennen. His family has had a history with the town that dates back centuries, along with his name. He is named after his grandfather who was named after his grandfather, meaning the next August was going to be his grandson. He is an only child to Franklin and Mary West, a local politician and elementary school teacher respectively. Always having the time and attention of his family and of the public, Auggie has always carried himself high, making sure to never mess up. He grew up joining in every sport, every club, every volunteering opportunity he could get his hands on, just so he could keep up his image alongside his family.

Once high school rolled around Auggie was at the top of his class, getting a 4.0 grade-point average and being a three-sport athlete, joining in football, soccer, and swimming. He also was the president of five different Brennen High clubs, the Chess club, the Philosophy club, the Art club, the Music club, and the Poetry club. Being one of the few golden boy's of Brennen meant he had to keep up the image of being pure and involved, hiding his true nature away from those in Brennen. Everything came crashing down though when his name was listed in Rose Henley's letter. His family and her's went back centuries, with her's being one of the founding families along with his. He considered himself pretty close to the girl, always making sure to keep special attention to her, as she was one of the oddballs of Brennen High. With him being so nice to her, it helped him keep his good guy image, but when his name was listed people questioned his image.

People noticed a darker lining and aura to Auggie that they didn't before, even Auggie noticed it. Rose put him out there to the world and he had to figure out why she did. It didn't bother him that his name was listed, it bothered him that she made it public. There was a reason he was on there, he had a feeling he knew why, but there was no certainty that it would be right as the only source to find the true answer was gone.

Misc:
- Auggie is a musician, being able to play the guitar and piano. He also sings.
- Auggie is a wide-receiver for the Brennen Lions, wearing the number 87.
- Auggie plays midfield for the Brennen Lions soccer team, wearing the jersey number of 23.
- Auggie is the captain of the swim team, being the only team he was captain of.
- Auggie can't draw to save his life, but he has a knack for pottery and ceramics.

Hello..? Anyone in this roleplay still alive..?

It is, Damon said he's making the IC today or tomorrow.

Awesome, I'm excited for the roleplay to begin, its such an interesting storyline

So... are the characters accepted?

Yeah sorry I've been so distant. I'm taking full responsibility for the slow pacing at the moment. Once again, sorry I'll be making the IC post later today.
And as for Mizuho's question yes, everyone is accepted.

I posted up a simple intro, one day before the incident. I might add more tomorrow depending. But nonetheless, let the posting begin!

So when in the story line are we now? Before the suicide or after? How long after?

As in, at what point should we make our introductory post?

It's totally up to you. I just felt like I wanted to throw in a bit before Rose off'd herself. My next post will be in the present, otherwise I might add that in the post too.

Well when is the present?

I was thinking a week after the funeral. So two weeks after her death.

Yaay! Posting time! -cracks knuckles and posts-

Uhm, is this roleplay dead..? I hope not...
