[OOC] Creating Our Own Lives; A Road Trip, Slice of Life Roleplay!

[Dio]

BACKGROUND

---

Content, Ohio is a small city known for nothing much. Life is easy and satisfactory for almost everyone, but that's the thing. Living a satisfying life isn't as satisfying as you would expect if you've never had anything else happen. The most exciting things to happen in Content are the small town festivals and high school graduations. Most seniors head off to college and return back once graduated to Content to live out the rest of their lives peacefully, but not for this years group of graduates. They are all aiming for bigger dreams to give themselves some excitement and hopefully live out their lives with a sense of fulfillment.

They just need something to happen.

Rumor has it that Sam has been planning a big road trip out to California for the Lovely Sounds Music Festival. The festival itself is one of the hottest events, with cool people, and even cooler music. Seats for the ride there are limited, or so the rumors say. Even if it is just a rumor maybe it's worth a shot asking him?

History & Info of Content

Content was first known as Constance Town, named after the wife of Benjamin Russell Content who first settled the town in 1815 with his two brothers Wesley and Lyle. The brothers led the town to boom in the coming years as they created and fully funded a paper mill, Content Papers, which became the stepping stone for the growth of the town. Throughout the years along with the mill, this allowed for the town to change into a booming town which allowed for the change to a city, and with that the name of Content was given in honor of the Content family who first settled it.

In the upcoming years many more families and business began appearing in Content and life became a constant growth. To this day, the city itself is in a content state, with it slowing down in modern growth, but still keeping up with the times. The mill has turned into an innovative technology and computer manufacturer, holding down a steady source of capital for the city.

There is one high school in Content, but the school is divided into two campuses. One, known as Wesley Central Campus, that is for freshmen and sophomores, and the other, Lyle Content North Campus, for juniors and seniors.

Life has become easy for most, with the city thriving, but the youth of Content are always yearning for more.

County: Franklin
The Current Estimated Population: ~25,470

RULES

---

GENERAL
Follow the standard rules and regulations of the Guild. They can be found here.

RESPECT
Please respect everyone and truly just be kind. We're all writers trying to have fun and grow their craft together, remember that.

If I ever do anything to offend you or if you have a question, feel free to let me know or ask me. It's out of respect for the both of us that you do, sometimes things go over my head without realizing it. Don't hesitate to say something that doesn't make sense. I'm all for constructive criticism.

POSTING & COMMITMENT
We're aiming for a casual to high casual roleplay, and in turn that means no one-liners. Also please consider the amount of effort the others in the roleplay put into their posts as you should read theirs before posting yours in case the posts don't align. This goes with respect as you should respect the other writers in their efforts as they should do to yours as well.

If you have any issues with the posting rate please let me know. I myself know that life can hit at any time, so just keeping us in the loop will help everyone and the flow of the roleplay keep steady!

COLLABORATIONS
I'm all for collaborating posts, so if you and another writer have something in mind then go for it. I know for you shippers this is a fun thing to do.

MATURE THEMES (+18)
Our characters are of that age where drugs, alcohol, and other mature themes are more involved in their lives. Scenes to a certain degree are going to be fade-to-black, if desired y'all can bring it to the PMs. Think of it as a movie, it doesn't go into super detail, just touches on whatever is needed.

CHARACTERS
Use the sheet provided, you can of course add more things if you'd like. Approval of characters will be given, makes it so I can understand who is all going to fit in with everyone. We're looking for a unique and collaborative effort and with that comes variety. Also color coding is important, use text colors. I like using this to find colors.

Sam is super friendly and fairly open guy. He is a very happy-go-lucky person who just wants people to feel welcomed. He is known as a go-getter who is always wanting to experience as much as he can, but deep down Sam is more afraid of letting down his parents than anything. There are a lot times that it seems as if Sam has a plan of action, but most of the time, if not all of the time, he's actually just winging it as he goes.

One of the things that defines Sam though is his extreme stubbornness. Once he commits to something he usually sees it to the end, even if failure is the only option, because he believes that trying isn't really failing, failing is if you give up. That is a trait that he has to overcome though, as a lot of his actions can have dire consequences. He just hates the feeling of being and admitting he is wrong.

Samson was born and raised in California as his parents immigrated from South Korea to open a small Korean barbecue restaurant. Both his parents were professional chefs but dreamed and yearned for more. Competition in California was tough on his family and their restaurant and that's when his dad came up with the bright idea to move to the Midwest. Sam's family moved to Content when he was in the sixth grade and has been there ever since.

They opened the only Korean barbecue place in town and their restaurant managed to be received well and thrived in the Midwestern city. It took Sam some time to get accumulated to Content as the state of Ohio was nothing like the hustle and bustle of California. He kept to himself as the years went on but began coming out of his shell in high school. Sam began joining more clubs, most of them were for academic and resume building purposes, never joining any sports, but making sure his grades were up too. He learned quickly that in Content everything becomes a constant if you let it and nothing really interrupts that routine.

His family is happy and they live a happy life in Constant, but that doesn't change how Sam feels. He wants more than just small town kindness, he is looking for some fire to play with because he doesn't know the feeling of anything else.

Sam's parents want him to be a nurse, a doctor, or some kind of businessman but the young man honestly wants to take after his parents and become a professional chef, but in California where his parents had left. He believes that he can make it big there in the restaurant industry.

Sam has applied to three colleges, two in California (The Art Institute of California - Sacramento and the University of California, Berkeley) and Ohio State.

For his graduation his parents said they'd buy him one big thing since he graduated and was going to college and he never really asked for much growing up. He asked for a repurposed short bus and is using it to take a road trip out to California for the Lovely Sounds Music Festival.

There are three layers to Samantha’s personality:
Layer I: From The Outside- The first impression one gets about Samantha Kingsley is that she’s utterly and completely talented at blending in with the crowd. She tries to remain as low-key as possible, and it has worked to her favor throughout all of her life. Sam appears to be this quiet, reserved young woman with very few friends, and there’s an aura of simplicity and innocence to her that keeps people thinking that she can do no wrong.

Layer II: From The Inside- Her mother and the few close friends Sammi has are the ones who have seen beyond her inconspicuous first layer. When you truly get to meet Sam, you find yourself spending time with a girl who’s got a quick sense of humor, a sweet, outgoing personality and a bright smile on her face. Her close circle can vouch for how loyal, hardworking, patient and diligent she is. Even if she’s a woman of few words, you can always count on her to give you advice after listening to whatever problems you might be facing.

Layer III: From The Wild Side- Only the person who gets to be with Sam intimately will have the opportunity to see this side of her. As a lover, Samantha is this sensual, intense, passionate, loving and devoted woman doing everything in her power to please, as long as she gets to be pleased herself along the way. She’ll lure potential lovers with incredible and irresistible magnetism that you never thought was there in the first place, and the innocent and inexperienced charm could be the cherry on top of this sundae.

Samantha’s mother Eleanor Kinglsey had been kicked out of her house as soon as her parents learned of her pregnancy when she was merely seventeen. To add more fuel to the flames, they had always disapproved of their daughter’s relationship with the baby’s father, her high school sweetheart and Content’s resident bad boy at the time: Lenny Harris. Lenny was your typical lazy teenage bum: the one guy who always boasted about what a badass he was but who resorted to stealing as a way to obtain easy money that would be spent on everything besides his girlfriend and daughter. After three long years of constant arguments, living in poverty and suffering, Lenny decided he’d had enough of it. While the women slept in a small cot of their dingy one-bedroom apartment, Lenny had packed his things and run off to another state with a girlfriend he’d found a few weeks before.

Now alone, broke, with a toddler to care for and absolutely no help, Eleanor and Samantha were forced to live in a shelter until Sam’s mother finished her nursing studies via scholarships and a part-time job at the local community college. By the time Samantha was 7, the Kingsley girls were finally able to afford to leave the shelter and start their own life on a two-bedroom apartment on the decent side of Content, in which they have lived in right to this very day. Eleanor works as a nurse in the local hospital while Sammi works part-time at the local coffee shop to save money for college and help out her mother.

At school, Samantha was thankfully too good at being invisible and blending in with the crowd to be noticed by any bullies. She met her two inseparable best friends in elementary school, and since then they have always been there for each other. In terms of academic themes, Samantha is considered a good student, but nothing excellent or out of the ordinary. It was really by a stroke of faith and an outstanding interview and recommendation that she was able to score a spot on the Art History and Archaeology Department of the prestigious Columbia University.

Samantha plans to attend Columbia University this upcoming fall, to get a degree in Art History and hopefully land a job at a prestigious museum. She would also like to be a published short story author (or even for a book of her own). In terms of romance, Sammi would love to finally meet that special person that rocks her world and get involved in a serious relationship.

LOL I debated on changing her name (this is a character I've had for like a year now that I never had a chance to really use), but since they call her Sammi and not Sam I thought it would all work out so that there wasn't confusion.

Nathan is what you would call a mothers dream. He is tall somewhat handsome and gets good grades. If he still had a mother she would probably be bragging about him to everyone who would listen and Nathan would of course sit red faced and deny every bit of praise shot his way, because such is Nathan humble to the point of delusion of his own worth. He refuses to put himself over anyone else because he believes that his triumphs is solely based on luck and great timing, rather than his hard work and diligence. The one thing he took away from his father was that if you wanted a good life you had to work hard, nothing was ever going to be handed to you. So therefore Nathan almost never slacks of when it comes to work or school which can be to the annoyance of his friends when he says no to the second party in a row.

Kind at heart Nathan will always be the one to listen to your stories good or bad because he is a people person who cares deeply for social interaction and he likes to have a large network of contacts and keep those bonds as strong as possible. He is to his own fault sometimes to trusting though as he likes to see the best in everyone even if they clearly doesn't have his best interest at heart and he has been let down because of this a lot of times. Though he feels like an positive outlook on life is what creates a great one and he will stick to that until the day he dies.

He has a kindness to him which makes him extremely approachable and that might be why he always gives a cheery "Hello!" at you when you pass him in the hall. Though his cheery exterior is somewhat hard to crack since he keeps his chewy personal center mostly to himself, only his closest friends know about his family situation and he likes to keep it that way.

Nathan always wanting to always make the right choice not only by him but for the people around him makes him very indecisive and that often results in him missing out on things that could better his future or others. This is a trait he is trying to shake of by being more carefree and take risks, but even in this he is unsure of what that is and when to be carefree. He is an notorious over-thinker and will focus on one small aspect and obsess over it until it's fixed or vanishes somehow.

He is also quite rancorous, if someone had been mean to him or otherwise done something that he does not agree with, he will hold it against that person until he is proven wrong. He can be a loyal friend but he can also drop you without a backwards glance if you piss him off enough.

Nathan was born in to the middle class family of Liam and Molly Matthews and had a normal childhood and even had the great pleasure to have a cute baby sister enter his life. So he and his sister Addison had the start of a quite normal and happy childhood until tragedy happened when he was six, his mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at a routine checkup. And though she put up a good fight for a year or so she eventually succumbed to the demon growing inside of her and she passed away. Naturally the family was broken down in despair Molly Matthews was the guiding light for so many people and mostly so for Nathan's father Liam who took the death of his darling wife so hard he went in to a depression so deep that he was not recognizable, he lost his job as an high school psychology teacher and subsequently lost the house in which they had been living in, which meant they had to move in with Nathan's grandparents.

His father never really recovered from his wife's death and spent most of the day lying in bed being unreachable and while Nathan would never go as far as to say that it was neglect, he cannot say that his father raised him. That lot fell on his loving grandparents. But as time wore on his grandparents grew weary of Liam's behavior and eventually made him go back to his teachers job, which meant they had to move away to Content, OH where a new school graciously hired his father. Uprooting Nathan just as he was about to enter high school, so when they arrived in this small town Nathan had a chance to start over and he was hell bent on creating a better life for him and his sister here! Fortunately Content High had some really awesome people and he got a few friends he was certain he wanted to keep for life.

With his father working all the time now to provide for them Nathan now had to take care of not only himself but also for his sister Addison, and why he would never say that this was a bother to him. He was robbed of his childhood as he had to grow up far too early than a normal boy should have to. Now in his late teens he is very protective of his sister and will go through anything to aid her in whatever she asks of. But his relationship with his father is forever tarnished and Nathan can't see a way that this could be mended.

Nathan dreams of seeing the world, he wants to make up for always being stuck at home to look after his sister. He wants to take a gap year before college to travel but he is unsure if that is the right thing for him to do, this trip is his way of testing the waters.

Elena is a very tranquil and calm person. Nothing phases the girl. Not even getting in her face and screaming obscenities at her. It's impossible for her to get very angry at you. In fact, she is the very essence of chill. Her demeanor and overall aura is something that could be considered very contagious. People around her tend to become a lot more chill as well.

Overall, Elena is a very easy person to get along with. If you're chill and not an asshole she'll have a good opinion of you. And if she has a good opinion of you, she'll tend to want to stick with you or at least flash you a smile every once in a while. Very friendly gal, salt of the Earth.

Elena Beverley is an only child. Born to Thomas and Rochelle Beverley, Elena is all too familiar with the idyllic town of Content, Ohio. The entire town was her old stomping grounds as a kid, and today she knows every single nook and cranny like the back of her hand. Growing up, she was the delivery girl for her parent's restaurant. For whatever reason, bringing southern soul food up north was a very good idea. It was wildly popular among the folks of Content. One could say that they were very content with the Beverley's Soul Food.

When she wasn't busy tearing up the streets of Content on her bicycle, Elena was very fond of hip-hop. Biggie, Nas, hell even Wu-Tang. She listened to all of it, which lead to her love of music. When it came time to decide on colleges, she decided to enroll at THE Ohio State University. It wasn't a bad choice at all. The music program there is very solid, and the campus was diverse and soulful enough for Elena's liking. She currently is hoping to get her Bachelor's in Music Production.

Friendly. Outspoken. Silly. Unreliable. Athletic.

Usually the first one to greet you and the last to tell you goodbye; Morgan is considered friendly until you make her feel in anyway threatened or unwanted. Once a seed is planted in her head or heart to put you as a bad guy, it will take a lot of energy and convincing for her to think otherwise. If you're not on her priorities she won't make an effort to keep promises or plans, making her appear to be unreliable and aloof.

Morgan did not have a very strict upbringing. Her parents were busy with priming and primping Morgan's older brother to go into law school. Morgan is not really modest in clothing attire, the way she speaks, or often acts. She is often seen as silly and making light of most situations. Despite having a lot of freewill in her choices, she doesn't feel a need to rebel and go crazy; however, she definitely isn't afraid to drink, smoke, and let her hair down now and again.

Work was all that Morgan's father knew, work and the bottom of the liquor bottle. The bottles came each and every paycheck. Despite his addiction, he climbed the ladder and got lucky with a few well known law cases and got his family out of the trailer park and into the town home they live in currently. Her mother stays at home and keeps an unusually very tidy household. She loves to cook and has always kept her family well fed literally and spiritually no matter their circumstances.

The move to Content, Ohio hasn't received any complaints between the Nelson children- both now experiencing new and exciting opportunities. Fredrick Jr with his travels and journey into law school and Morgan with her- well, just living a high school life and trying not to be in anyone's way.

Taking Sam up on his offer, Morgan feels California would really be the place for her. She has never been there, but every thing she has seen and heard about it sounds right up her ally. If something really catches her eye there she might not even return back home.

Morgan is passionate to pursue something in the line of sports, but both of her parents would rather her focus on something more concrete, and realistic. They put so much work and effort into making her brother's life worth something. She feels it would be a huge disappointment if she were to let all that hard work go to waste, but knows that she has to live her own life and pursue her own dreams.

Johnny is, in colloquial terms, a space-case. He doesn't appear to have a firm grip on reality, often caught up in his own fantasy world inside his head. He is particularly quiet and his self-inflicted lack of a social life has limited his social skills. He can be blunt and a little rude, though not usually intentionally. Though he doesn't pick up on social cues, when he sees he has offended somebody, he will profusely apologise. His absurd work ethic is also rather noteworthy.

To those who do not know him, he's an eccentric weirdo who might just be permanently high. To those who do know him, he is unexpectedly passionate when it comes to things he cares about. He has been known to ramble, sometimes for hours, about something that has exited him. His sense of humor is dry, and quite dark, giving him the gift of story-telling. He can get so involved with his passion projects that he alienates people, and he sometimes his pride gets the better of him, but he's really just a lonely kid who wants to share his unique view of the world with those around him.

Johnny was born to Clive and Sheila Baxter, both originally from Oxfordshire. His parents had moved to Content a year before his birth, as they both desired the kind of warmth and sense of community a small town could offer, setting up a bakery when they settled. He had known, and been perplexed by, Content since birth. Johnny desired to live in a big city from a young age, but liked the safety net a small town could provide.

At school, Johnny seemed to thrive. He was very intelligent and enjoyed the intellectual stimulation. His parents were less pleased. They wanted their son to be kind an sociable with a large group of friends. They would have preceded it if he spent his time hanging out with kids his age. However, he spent most of his time alone, choosing to shun the majority of his peers. He made one friend, by some miracle, Maxwell Roberts. Max was Johnny's first true friend, and eventually, at age 14, his first love.

But all good things must come to an end. Max's parents found out about the two boys when they were 16 and immediately moved away, disgusted by their son's behaviour. Johnny's heart was broken. He tried his best spent the next two years away from people, deeply upsetting his parents, who decided that Johnny needed new friends. They told him to talk to Sam, who was supposedly setting up a road trip to go to a music festival. Johnny, reluctantly, agreed.

Johnny wants to make films, to show people how he sees the world and too explore ideas that interest him, like his idol Paul Thomas Anderson. To that end, he has applied for a place at the Sundance academy and New York film school. If that fails, he'll have to work in his family's bakery. A fate worse than death.

Also, considering the fact that our characters all know each other, if anyone wants to discuss relationships feel free to PM me!

@spooner & @MissCapnCrunch looking good. You guys can throw them into the Character Tab.

@Bee I figured they all be just graduating high school and not in college yet. After that little fix-up, Elena should be good to go.

@Erklings25 the only thing that might cause a problem is the text color. Maybe a lighter shade? The Steel Blue is a bit close to the blue that is used for Sam. After that should be a-OK.

Also Erklings also brought up a good point. I'll find time to make a relationship chart of some kind. Hopefully I'll have some time later today.
