It's pretty much as @PrinceAlexus described. You just imagine your characters as every-day people, but as he said, you're also free to make them famous or poor. It's your preference. If you have time, read some of the old thread and you can get a feel for what we mean.

Last time we had everyone from a billionaire to a wanderer with little money.
The limit is your imagination and the setting, you can be a dolphin massager if you so wish!

And that is why I went for someone who is financially stable and attempting to reach full media notoriety. Though I have a strong suspicion Oscar is gonna flop and fail in his field of profession.

The following is not required, but we strongly encourage you to at least put a little something. In the past we have found that when players get to know each other as real people, not just as names on a screen, it helps the longevity of the game. Seriously, please get to know your fellow players.
Tell us about yourself:
*Your age: *What part of the world are you from? *How many years have you been writing/roleplaying: (if you're on your first year, that's totally fine too) *How often do you have time to post? (this is just a general, honest question, no judgment) *Anything else you want to mention? What you do for a living? How much do you work a week? What do you enjoy doing besides writing? Put as much as you want.
"These are the things that make a good story great and good writers even greater."
I sent a PM to @PrinceAlexus yesterday asking if the RP was full, but would like to show my interest in a more official capacity. Even brought a character for consideration!
Thanks!
Name Kurt Nichols
Age 26
Appearance
Height 5’4” (162 cm)
Weight 150 lbs (68 kg)
Description Kurt is a short man, with a stockier build. He keeps his somewhat messy hair in a small ponytail, but over the course of the day some inevitably gets lose and finds ways to fall around (or in front of) his face. Always clean shaven, he can normally be seen wearing a smile. His style can be described as somewhat bland, normally wearing some comfortable slacks and a jacket to combat the chill that always seems to grip the Northwestern areas of North America.
Likes Music: While not the most original interest in the world, Kurt does enjoy a fair bit of music. While he can tolerate almost anything, he has a soft spot for most rock sub-genres. That being said he abhors new-age Rock-a-Billy/Pop County.
Reading: Kurt has been reading all of his life, which is what landed him in his current job. Books were his constant companion growing up, and was his first companion when he first moved to Sol City.
Cooking & Food: From being the person who took care of his household from a young age Kurt's two options were to either learn how to cook or not eat. From there it evolved into a genuine love of cooking and Kurt became fairly good at that. Stemming from this is a love of good food and the company that it brings.
Cool Weather: Kurt doesn't handle heat well at all, which was one of the attractions of Sol City in the first place. Plus jackets and other clothes for cooler weather are simply more stylish than summer-wear.
Dislikes Spiders: Spiders terrify Kurt to know end. He takes this phobia quite seriously, with most spiders being killed on sight regardless if they actually meant him any harm.
Overly Boisterous Personalities: Kurt can understand the need to cut loose every once in a while, and he's even known to act out if you get some alcohol in him. However, people are just going all out 100% completely drive him up a wall.
Hot Weather: Mortals were not meant to exist in the heat. Kurt doesn't handle heat well and on particularly hot days it takes every ounce of willpower he has to leave his home.
Physical Pain: Kurt has an extremely low pain threshold and doesn't handle pain well. This manifests as a general aversion to pain, up to point of abandoning hobbies/interests after they've caused him some sort of harm.
Zodiac Sign Virgo, but he doesn't place much stock in astrology
Special Talent Kurt is very good with people. Whether it was from having to mature faster than most or some natural disposition people seem to trust Kurt more quickly than most. Kurt wants to use this to help others, but right now that seems out of reach.
Profession Works in a small used book store, also takes online classes for a counseling Masters.
Bio/Personality Kurt grew up in a small town in central Illinois. The name isn't important, no one would have heard of it anyway. For years it was only him and his mother. Kurt's father and mother were never together and he left for greener pastures well before he was born. He didn't mind this though, as his mother provided for him as well as she could. This meant working at a dry cleaning shop most days, and working as am overnight custodian most nights. This left Kurt alone to his own devices for most of his young life. When he was really little this meant exploring the woods around his home. However, after a nasty fall from a tree that resulted in a broken arm he most of his time indoors.
With his mother out of the house most of the time Kurt had to learn to take care of himself from a young age. This wasn't a bad thing, as it allowed him to be more independent from a young age. Kurt had a largely uneventful young adult life, graduating high school in the middle of his class and attending community college on some income-based scholarships. He managed to get a psych degree in three years and spent some time as a case manager in a center for at-risk adolescents. Kurt spent the half-decade after college like this, working in the center while helping take care of his mother whose smoking habit had gifted her with a nasty case of lung cancer. She fought for longer than the doctors said she could, but Kurt's mother passed shortly after his 26th birthday. With the last thing tethering him to his hometown gone he pulled up stakes and headed to a hopefully brighter future.
Kurt has been in Sol City for only a short time, only a few months. He works in a small used book store and is also taking online classes to make progress towards a Masters degree in counseling. When not at work or taking classes Kurt likes to take in the night life that Sol City offers as well as relaxing in his small apartment.
Actor or Actress who play your Character in a movie Honestly, I don't know O.o
Your age 22
What part of the world are you from Midwest United States, on Central Time.
How many years have you been writing/roleplaying Writing has been a hobby as mine for as long as I can remember. However on the roleplaying front I started tabletop roleplaying in 2010, and started my career here in 2014. However college kept me away from the guild and now that I have graduated I'm eager to return to the world of RPs.
How often do you have time to post? As of now I can post fairly frequently, as I have plenty of free time. However as my job search continues my free time may shorten. I'll be sure to keep people posted if my ability to post changes!
What you do for a living? Nothing as of now! I just graduated with a Psychology degree, with minors in Criminal Justice and Counseling.
What do you enjoy doing besides writing? I enjoy reading, playing vidya & board games, music & podcasts, and generally being a nuisance.
Just to move things along faster, if we approved your completed CS here and you did not make any changes, you are free to move it directly to the character tab.
Name: Alexander James Wood Just call him Alex Age: 21 Appearance: Alex only just recently started Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). His features have started to change a little, but not by much. Slowly but surely his face is becoming more masculine. The fat on his face has started to move to other places, leaving a slightly sharper jawline and cheekbones. The fat on the rest of his body has also started to move about him, thinning his thighs and arms, but sadly it's all going to his belly. Testosterone can't help that he only stands at 5'7", but he's come to terms with that. He doesn't have top or bottom surgery yet, but his binds his chest to give a more masculine look. His style ranges to and from everything now that he can wear what he wants. Alex loves to be "dressy", he doesn't really need a reason to. Dress shirts, skinnies, and his Doc Martens are his go to, but on days he isn't feeling it he often wears American Eagle and Adidas. He can go from preppy to a complete lad in no time. Height: 5'7" Weight: 180 Likes: Fruity drinks, shut up they're manly as hell Photography Music Tattoos Flowers Cake Decorating His YouTube Channel Dislikes: Stuck up people Beer His birth name Gender Rolls Zodiac Sign: Aquarius Special Talent: Singing Druming Piano Guitar Ukulele Profession: Works in a bakery as head cake decorator, however won't touch a wedding cake Bio: Alex was born to a Christine and Ron Wood as their second child, their "beautiful little girl" named Taylor. Her parents split when she was just four months old. As a baby she was always in put in dresses and skirts. When she turned two she put her foot down and said no. Her mom payed no attention to her and continued with the dresses and skirts. Taylor went crying her grandfather about it and he put a stop to it. She was bought jeans and tee shirts and loved the new found freedom. Around this time her father left, he couldn't take Ashleigh anymore. Fast forward a few years and she wore dresses when she was forced to dress up to make her mother happy, but always hated even looking at them. It wasn't until the summer after her freshmen year of high school that she found out what transgender was. She didn't think she meant to be a girl. She started looking more into it and watching people on YouTube who were also transgender. Rolling forward a few months and Taylor fully realized she was a he and while Taylor is a gender neutral name, wanted it changed. It was just a reminder of his sex. Alex came out to his close group of friends first and they accepted him with open arms. With their pushing he decided to tell his mother. He wrote a letter fulling outlining how he felt and put it in her purse before he went to band camp. Not the best way to go about it, but he couldn't handle the rejection right to his face. When he got picked up he was nervous to say the least. Christine went on about how much she loved him, but he was always a she and would always be his little girl. He wanted to jump out of the car because of ow awful he felt, his own mother didn't accept him. This lead to years of his mom bulling him at home, making sure to call him by his birth name and use the wrong pronouns. He hated his life and fell into a depression. He began self harming to make his mom's word hurt less, it worked for a little while until he couldn't handle it anymore. He attempted suicide at age 17, but it didn't work. He doesn't like to talk about that much. With his attempt his mother started treating him worse, making fun of him for wanting to kill himself. She knew that clothes would make him more comfortable so she limited what he could wear to gender neutral shirts only and women's jeans. He hated getting dressed in the morning, he hated coming home after school, he hated his life. He got a job to keep him out of the house as much as possible. His mother demanded half of his paycheck each week and he hated it, but it was either that or the streets. It took him 4 years to save up and move out. Sol City seemed to be the perfect place to set up life. He got situated with a crappy single apartment that's barely big enough so he could afford his hormones. Personality: ♦ Flamboyant ♦ Responsibly Irresponsible ♦ Outgoing ♦
Alex tends to keep to himself and is a little awkward. That is until he gets comfortable with you. It took him a couple of years to even show his face on camera for his Youtube channel, but he loved singing and wanted to share it with the world. Once he's comfortable around you he's always talking and is very animated. Alex is very much a person who talks with not only his hands, but his whole body. He struggles to stand or sit still while telling a story. While he's very talkative he knows when enough is a enough and when to listen to a friend. Your character's favorite song: It's forever changing, at the moment Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus Actor or Actress who play your Character in a movie: Not an actor, but Louis Tomlinson of One Direction. Alex's sleeve is the same as his current one, but on the left arm. He also has the chest piece Louis has.
