In the Summer of 2021 a young man (age 20) won a VERY large Powerball jackpot. The jackpot had been at 1.765 billion dollars and he had the Powerplay option. The Powerplay hit the 5x. In that instant the young man became 8.825 billion dollars richer than he had ever been. Oh, sure he was going to end up paying taxes - a LOT of taxes. And as they say a fool and his money are soon parted…

He had no car, no permanent address, and no passport. But he has already begun to up his game. He has new clothes, a haircut, a limo and driver.

Our young man is a geek, but an athletic geek. But he was never much into team sports. He tried out for a few in his early high school years, but a series of injuries kept him off the field. He’s tall, really tall, standing a solid 6’7” with dark black hair and blue eyes. His interests are in Physics and Chemistry first, with hobbies in just about everything else that isn’t biology or medical. He’s an avid science fiction fan.

He is also rather socially introverted. Oh sure, can open up a ‘stimulating’ conversation about quarks guaranteed to put you to sleep. But can he talk about anything normal?

++++++

Enter our young lady. She’s poor. And I will stop there. She might be street smart - or not. She should be vastly more sociable than our young man. She’s … normal - if there really is such a thing. Maybe she is an undiscovered genius. But she grew up in an environment where she learned to work with people - real people.

Why she is poor … is up to you. Maybe she had to drop out of school to take care of her kid brother and had to take whatever jobs she could find. Maybe she was trailer trash. Maybe she ran away and has lived on the street. But it is up to you.

+++++++

How our characters will meet will depend on the lady’s background and recent history. Our young man can travel a bit. It DOES need start within the continental USA. (No passport yet and he starts in Albuquerque, NM. He doesn’t even have a driver’s license. But a limo or public transportation can get him wherever he needs to go.)

++++++++

The RP is to be Detailed / Advanced for post quality. I am looking for someone who can post 3-5 times a week, if not daily. I prefer someone not subject to the rigors of academia if that is going to prove to be an issue for them. I prefer posting via an RP forum, not PM’s. A CS will be needed. No special requirements for the format except please no animated gifs.

@Mitheral I am working on a reply now. Been out of town for a week and had an OOPS with my tablet.

Cool deal. I actually got a notif. Thought they weren't working for forum based stuff. Maybe just the ooc works ... who knows. But looking forward. I am on one of those loads I hate to a place I hate. Still waiting for another driver to bring me the load. I am expecting him to be late.

Speaking of tablets, I need to update mine.

Had my own Oops today - sort of funny. I had been letting my beard grow out. It finally bugged me too much, so I decided to shave it off. I got half way through ... literally halfway ... and my electric razor died...

Been working on getting a second RP started to keep myself busy. It is based off ours, but assumes Duncan never met anyone before heading off on a solo yachting cruise. Then he gets shipwrecked in a freak Bermuda Triangle like storm. For him it is simply an annoyance. I mean, there are worse places to get lost than a tropical island ... right? Sort of a forced vacation.

I have no idea what the kids did to mine but it was a 5 yr old nook so I might just buy a new one.

Almost managed to hit another driver ... and that was with me being careful. He was good enough to hit his horn. He didn't realize he wasn't parked straight. And the trailer on the other side of me was parked too close to my side as well. But it was the only spot left. That ... plus there was someone parked directly across from us sticking out too far. But I thanked the guy for blasting his horn and embarrassing me ... far better alternative than exchanging insurance info and taking accident pics. (Yes, I was serious about the thanks.) This is THE worst place I deliver to. They need a staging lot.

But I got put in a dock right away. So there's that. Looking on the bright side.

@Mitheral Sorry it took so long to get a post up. Got back from Houston, had to move and been working a 60 hour week on top of it. Just got home and had a chance to sit down infront of a keyboard.

Yes, I saw your post. I'd write up a response right now, but I have a sneaking hunch that I need to lay down and get a little extra sleep before I get a load that runs me all night.
