After countless auditions across the United States of America, 20 lucky contestants were chosen to compete in the chance to win one million dollars! The contestants will be locked away in a house for a couple months with no other interactions besides their other house guests. This means no cellphones, no internet, no calling your mommy when things go sour!

Weekly the house will participate in competitions at a chance to win the title of "Head of Household" giving them the power to put up two house guests they would like to see go home. These competitions can be a test of wit, strength, and everything in between. The whole house will then at the end of the week anonymously vote and send one person packing. Enemies, lovers, and everything in between will be formed, do you have what it takes to defy the odds? Find out soon on the very first season of Roleplayer Guild's Big Brother!

---

---

Winners and losers of competitions will be chosen by random generated dice roll. Everyone will be able to write out everything that happens in between and during. Social game, making friends/lovers, enemies, and everything in between is the importance of the game. It doesn't matter if you win every competition- if no one likes you at the end of the day you might not be voted for to win the big prize.

If you have ideas for competitions please speak up in the OOC!

All basic RPG rules apply here. But this will be a mature roleplay.

This is just for fun, so don't take it too personally whoever wins/loses. It's just a game!

This will be a very active participation roleplay, you will be required to participate at least twice a week. Once for competition and once for voting. Everything else is up to you, but if you're not making relationships and friendships with other people- you will probably get sent home fairly early by others.

You are allowed to play up to THREE characters.

Answer the questions as if it were your character :)
Please keep the genders pretty even. Everyone is welcome here. Have fun, be creative!

Rhys' Audition Tape

---

---

What is your name?
"Name's Rhys James McCarthy, simple enough."

How old are you?
"Well I wish I could say I'm younger, but I'd be lying. 27 years of age; less than a month away from my birthday as well."

Looking for any showmance?
"I mean, it's always nice to have some, but I can't say I'm hunting for it. Whatever comes, goes, so I can't say I won't know until anything happens. Helps with the suspense of the show, you could say. Though I'm not really that special when it comes to romance, straight-up heterosexual. No quirks or cool factors about me in that field."

---

Where are you from?
"Well, that's a two part answer. I was born, technically, in Somerset down in the United Kingdom, but my family moved out when I was about 4. Stayed in Vancouver until I was 17 when the music career called and put me into Manhattan, New York. Lived there ever since."

What is your occupation?
"I did tease it a little there. I'm a musician, though that's a broad answer. I'm in three groups, though, two with my cello and one with a synthesizer. One of the cellist groups is my main job, a performing orchestra of modern songs, both original and covered. The other group is more of a sub-par side job, a quartet of cellists who mainly do covers for extra money. Very enjoyable, to say the least. As for the third group, that's more of something I do as a group. I like to experiment with the broad genres of music, so me and a few guys I met whilst touring in the quartet held an open position for a freelance producing group, consisting of mainly synths and other electronic instruments, that people could request for media projects. That has to be one of the more enjoyable factors of my working life right now, seeing as it allows me and a few other people to create what we want from scratch without a strict quota to fill in for."

Do you have any quirks or talents? What about weird facts?
"Talents, mostly trying to be humble about this, is music indefinitely. Been a passions of mine since the start, after all. As for quirks, it's hard to pinpoint. I do like to talk, if that counts as one. Rambling on and on about things that people enjoy, especially if its involving music, is something that I just find absolutely amazing. Funny thing is I used to be called out for being boring because all I seemed to care about was music, no sports or anything exciting.

As for weird facts, that's tricky to say as well. That's all dependent on what you think is weird and what you think is normal. The weirdest thing I can say about myself is my obsession with felines, having about 4 at home, but some people think that's completely normal. Feels weird to know that. Oh, and I also love to write. I've got a few unpublished novels back at home, mainly because I'm a bit too timid to publish them."

---

What has life been like?
"Well it's been somewhat successful, but that's not to say it's been easy. I passed education nicely. I comfortably live in a nice place and I do what I love, so that's a basic summary of what I'm glad I have. There's the constant stress though that sometimes is given off by my chosen career but, who doesn't live a life like that? As said before, I was born in the United Kingdom and hardly remember it, seeing as I was young. Every year I do go back for a holiday or two, but I can't say that I have any fond nostalgia from my childhood seeing as I spent all of it in Canada. Moving to Canada was a good change though, especially for my passion. Met loads of inspirational people who were willing to push me to aim high as a musician, learning new instruments to add to my wide range of preferred selection. Although, I never felt that I was truly at home, seeing as I moved at such a young age.

Once I was finally in the United States, I felt even more alienated. But, that's expected from someone who travels. I liked the movement though. It was a nice change from Vancouver as I felt there was a lot more to suit me as a person. It was a pretty place, sure, but it had so much more to offer in terms of facilities and musical organisations. To be honest, it was only a matter of time before I ended up in the United States. In summary, life's been nice to me, but not nice enough to make it perfect as it is with anyone."

Why do you deserve to win?
"Well, that can't be answered. I think the winner's chance is decided from their activity inside the house. However I act in the house will decide my fate, so right now no one deserves it."

Finally, if you won, what would you do with the money?
"I'd fund more musical projects of course, maybe release one or two of my books depending on how they are viewed. It's very dependent on what I need the money for. Anything I don't need might go to charity or in the pot for savings. Again, it's all subjective."

@LetMeDoStuff

Lovely character! He's great. Definitely will add interest to the house- my only problem is; and this is my own fault for not mentioning. I would prefer real life photos OR if everyone would like to agree to use digital portraits; I am okay with that. I just want everyone to have same look to them because in the character page I am going to put everyone's photos and like Big Brother style- as people are eliminated their picture will go from color to black and white.

Are you able to change?

OR

Is everyone okay with using digital portraits?

Charlie's Audition Tape

Charlie Bouchard

What is your name?
Je m’appelle Charlotte Bouchard.
*laugh, returns to perfect English* My friends call me Charlie.

How old are you?
Oh, man… I’m 25, aren’t I? Well, I guess there are worse ages to be.

Looking for a showmance?
Well, I mean, anything can happen, right? It’s not the reason I’m here, but I’m definitely open to it. I went through kind of a big break-up a few months ago - after two and a half years, my boyfriend told me he’s gay. Isn’t that crazy? *laugh* I mean, I’m happy for him, that he figured himself out. I’m straight, so I can’t even imagine how hard that whole thing must’ve been. Sucks for me, but I’m genuinely happy for him. *laugh* Y’know, it’s not the reason I’m here, but it would be kind of cool to find someone new.

Where are you from?
Well, I grew up in Maine, but right now I’m living in Philadelphia. It’s hella different, but in the best way possible.

Do you have a job?
I’m a database administrator for an e-commerce startup based in Philly. Nothing super glamorous or anything, but it pays the bills, and I love what I do.

What has your life been like so far?
Well, my mother is from Quebec, but I grew up in Lewiston, Maine. Got interested in computers when I was a kid, followed that interest to Northeastern University in Boston. Finished my undergrad and then kind of just, y’know, threw darts at a map, and the first city I hit was Philly. *laugh* I kind of wish I was joking, but no, that’s what really happened. My best friend did the same thing - she ended up Tulsa. Anyway, I found a house with like five roommates, and three weeks later I was in Philly. That was a crazy time - I sublet just in case, but we ended getting along perfectly. I’m still living with two of them now. Got a job, met a guy. Almost moved in with him but he came out as gay and dumped me. Y’know how it goes. *laugh* You just gotta roll with the punches.

Any quirks, talents, or weird facts about you?
I speak French fluently, so there’s that. Lewiston actually has a pretty big Francophone community, so I got a lot of practice growing up. Not that I had much of a choice. *laugh* I also know how to shoot a bow and arrow - I was in the archery club at Northeastern, I got pretty good at it. That was a couple years ago though, so I’m probably rusty by now. Oh, I play a mean game of table tennis. I know I’m not rusty at that. And I know how the internet works.

Weird facts? I’ve never seen Star Wars. I’m low-key obsessed with Sentinels of the Multiverse. I’ve never actually been to Quebec. One time I accidentally got drunk with the headliner at a house show, and then I almost went home with him before his band got a chance to play. *laugh* That was a good night.

Why do you deserve to win?
”Deserve” is a strong word… but it sure would be nice.

And if you do win, what will you do with the million dollars?
Pay off student loans, buy a condo… I want to bring Maman to Philly, but she won’t come until I have my own place, so that’s pretty high on the list. I’ve been thinking about grad school, too. It would be pretty cool to do that without having to worry where the money’s coming from.

Tommy's Audition Tape

---

---

What is your name?

My actual name is Tomera Aibileen Nile, but I've gone by Tommy since I was a child. I played football in elementary school, so the guys on my team would call me Tommy or Tom.

How old are you?

I just turned twenty a couple of days ago. Happy birthday to me.

Looking for a showmance?

I am a bisexual female, but I typically lean more towards girls. I've always been a big flirt, and I don't think that will ever change. However, I am not actively looking for love while in the house. Whatever happens will happen, but I came to win this money, not to find a boyfriend or girlfriend.

---

Where are you from?

Well, I was born in Pittsburgh, but I've lived in Brooklyn, New York since I was three years old. I consider NYC to be my true hometown since that's where I spent the majority of my life. I know Brooklyn like the back of my hand, but I've only one memory of living in Pennsylvania.

Do you have a job?

Well, as of right now I work part-time as a waitress in this cute little vegan cafe. Thankfully Sal, the owner, is holding my position until I get back. When I'm not at work, however, I'm a college student. I'll be entering my Senior year after break is over. I'm a pre-med student, so in about a year or so I'll be going off to medical school and continuing my long journey towards becoming a licensed psychiatrist.

What has your life been like so far?

Well, as I said before, I was born in Pittsburgh. Both of my parents were eighteen when they conceived me, and no one on my mom's side of the family was really surprised when my father took off. When I was three years old, my mom's family packed up and moved to Brooklyn. There, I lived in an apartment with my mom, her parents, and my aunt. My grandparents are Jamaican immigrants, so I'm pretty close to my roots. Everyone in the house worked during the day, so before I started school, I spent most of the time with my neighbors next door. I was glad when I started school, though. I didn't like that strong tobacco smell that lingered in their apartment.

School was easy for me. I breezed through elementary school with a sixth grade reading level, and was at an eleventh grade reading level before I finished middle school. I was on my elementary school's football team until eighth grade since our middle schools don't have a football league. I tried to continue my football career in high school, but the coach didn't believe in letting girls play. Although high school was a lot more challenging than my previous years of school, I put in the work to keep my grades high. I took a bunch of advanced placement classes and somehow managed to participate in a few clubs here and there. I wasn't interested in DECA or Key Club in the slightest, but it was something to put on my college applications. I got into NYU on scholarship, but my family still had to scrape together some money to pay for things like housing and meal plans or whatever. I'm the first person in my family to go to college, so that's something.

---

Any quirks, talents, or weird facts about you?

Well, I guess one of my talents would be my physical ability, if that even counts. I've always been active, even after I quit playing football. I frequent the gym, and I have a group of friends that I still play basketball with in the park. I'm not ripped or anything, but I'm definitely in good shape. Another talent of mine would probably be how observant I am. I tend to notice things about people, especially, that others may not notice at first. It's one of the reasons why I'm pursuing a career in psychiatry. I can read people.

As far as weird facts go, I'm not really sure. I can fit my entire fist into my mouth, so that's something. I'm also left-handed, which is pretty weird, right? Sometimes when I get mad, I start speaking quickly and in Jamaican Patois so it may be a little hard to understand me if you're not used to hearing it. Also, I've sort of been obsessed with Doctor Who since I was a child. I've seen just about every episode there is of the show, all the way from the first episode which aired back in the sixties.

Why do you deserve to win?

I'm not sure how to answer this. I think we all would like to believe that we deserve to win this money, but at the end of the day it all just comes down to how you play the game. Play it smart, and maybe you deserve to win.

And if you do win, what will you do with the million dollars?

Well, the majority of the money will be saved and invested so that I can continue to make money, you know? A little chunk of it will go towards paying off whatever school loans and debts my family and I have, and some will go towards paying for med school. Whatever is left over, I guess I'll use it to buy my family a bigger house.

[MissCapnCrunch]

@mercenarius@Ejected

Nailed it! Wonderful ladies, excited to see the shenanigans they get in, in the house.
Both of you are accepted and feel free to add them to the character bin when you're ready!
Also if you're interested in making multiple characters feel free as well- everyone is allowed 3 :)

I'll update the accepted characters list as well!

[Jeep Wrangler]

@MissCapnCrunchSorry for the lack of change today, been majorly ill so I've been unable to. I'll aim for tomorrow if I feel better

Oh no! :( No worries, please take care. You've got plenty of time.

Zayn's Audition Tape

Zayn Walker

Name of Contestant

Zayn Walker, friends call me Aquaman

How old are you?

32 and counting

Looking for a showmance?

I mean if it happens it happens I have no real expectations on it, however wont turn one down if its starting to form. I love the ladies no shame in my game but i hate feeling tied down so no relationship lasts very long. Now that i think about it a showmance would be perfect for me...You know what lets just play it by ear.

Where are you from?

Cali born and raised baby, warm weather, beautiful women, and a hell of a night life what more can anybody ask for.

Do you have a job

I actually have a couple jobs and am damn good at them both, getting the time off i needed wasnt to much of a hassle but it did take some convincing. Im a chef at the Boxwood Cafe and also im 1 of 5 home health aides for my mom and pop. Im a pretty big breadwinner for the house but all the sibs pitch in. they provide backup in taking care of the mom and dad.

What has your life been like so far?

it hasen't been a cakewalk, but a few people take a look at you and automatically assume things.
I learned the value of both hardwork and a dollar at a very young age. That is all thanks to the people that i know take care of. I watched my mom and dad break their necks and bodies struggling to provide for 5 kids. My dad was a mechanic and worked down at the docks, while mom was a nurse practitioner she had an uncanny ability to remember to take care of everyone else but never paid much attention to her own health. She's a diabetic and has already lost a leg due to it. Dad is in chronic pain due to him fucking his back up. but throught it all we were all raised and instilled with the same beliefs, "FAMILY IS LIFE, AND LIFE IS FAMILY" its a saying that i believe so strongly in i got it tatted on my back.

When everyone else was working or busy i spent time teaching myself to cook so it was one less thing that my parents had to worry about. Eventually me learning how to cook led to me taking a few classes and before i knew it going to school full time for it. I love it though it puts a smile on the houses face when i start to burn. especially my moms it would be nice too...

Any quirks, talents, or weird facts about you?

im a speed reader, I notice everything but speak very little, I can dead lift 450lbs.

Why do you deserve to win?

Deserve? Probably not

And if you do win, what will you do with the million dollars?

If i did it would be nice to pay of student loans and pay for the college fully for all my bros and sisters, get a decent prosthetic for my mom, and the necessary surgery for my dad so hes not left in as much pain.

[Jeep Wrangler]

@MissCapnCrunchChanged the image! I'll move it onto the character tab.

[MissCapnCrunch]

@Howilng Zinogre

My man Aquaman! Looks great, send him to the bin when you're ready.

@LetMeDoStuff

Thankyou hun!

[MissCapnCrunch]

This is just a friendly side comment to everyone- that I kind of hate to say; but if we don't get ATLEAST 10 people; whether people double up or we have other roleplayers put in a character; we probably won't be able to go on with this- just because it'll be far too short and uneven. So we will shoot for the original 20 of course, but at the very least we need 10. :) Got a couple days yet here so fingers crossed. If not, I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

---

[mercenarius]

Totally blanked and forgot to move my character over... oops.

I'm working on a second character as well, but it's kind of slow-going since my class picked up. Hopefully I'll have it done tomorrow or the day after.
