The Midnight Train to Nowhere [Looking for 1-2 People]

[AlteredTundra]

Oh, I like The Nightmare Before Christmas. Tim Burton rocks. <3

[Enigma]

Tim Burton! Coraline! Now I know I'd fit right into this RP *gg* In fact when I first read the description post the images of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland began flooding into my mind =3 Anyone like Corpse Bride?

[Fox of Spades]

Alice in Wonderland is definitely one of the inspirations for this RP <3

Tim Burton is defo amazing *w* I remember watching The Corpse Bride back when I was younger. I've forgotten bits and pieces of it, but still remember the basics. It was pretty cool >w<)/! Coraline would have to be my favorite movie of all time. Have you guys seen Sweeney Todd or Dark Shadows :D?

Have some Flutterwacken xD

[AlteredTundra]

I own Sweeny Todd. A movie I have no regrets of buying. I also own 9, which is a Tim Burton film...sort of.

[Bear Boxer]

Sounds very interesting, I'd like to whip up a character if that's alright.

[Fox of Spades]

Sure, go ahead. If anyone is interested in whipping up a sheet then feel free to. We'll accept all sheets until the 12th of July, after that, submissions will be closed :)

Those ragdolls were cute ^^ and sorry if there are any typos, I'm on phone.

[AlteredTundra]

It seems the word "ragdolls" isn't a word. That's weird. I thought it was.

But yes, they were indeed pretty cute/super special awesome. It was definitely one of the few movies I don't mind re-watching over and over again.

[Fox of Spades]

I always thought it was a word as well xD

Oh well, guess we learn something new everyday ^^! I've seen bits and pieces of that movie, but I defo need to watch the full version sometime.

Jonny

Name: Jonny Davidson
Age: 17

Appearance:

Jonny is a short individual around 5'5". It's something that get's on his nerves quite often, because reaching that shelf or seeing over that guy in the movie theatre is a real pain. Thank god he weighs less than a feather so he normally sits on a friend's lap like a child to see that movie screen!

If his height wasn't enough, Jonny's body doesn't seem to know what testoserone is and his skin is rarely ever graced by body hair. Not to mention the fact he's had the comment before that he looks more like a lesbian than a boy. He could point out the obvious fact he has nothing up top though.

He wears clothing that shows off his arms and neckline, so most of his clothes are often sleeveless. Jonny sorta hates the fact that the sleeveless tanks he loves have found their way into popular fashion, however. When it comes to his legs, he HATES them for being so thin and bony, so jeans are always a thing, loose jeans, jeans where he needs a belt, it's almost comical sometimes.

In colder months he tends to wrap up in furry coats, scarves, hoodies, etc.

Personality:
"Get your hands off me asshole. I didn't say you could touch me."

Jonny is a recluse when you first meet him. He tends to shy away and turn a shoulder when adressed. Appearing to dislike crowds and people, most people don't take the time to notice he's silently crying out for attention. Those who do take the time, however, must be careful of their approach, as there is a reason we call him a recluse. (Spider puns, if you didn't catch that)

With a single word you could describe Jonny, that word is "sarcastic." But if you wanted to be super descriptive (which honestly, his sarcasm overpowers almost EVERYTHING else) you could also say he is snarky, testy, ill-tempered, firey, impregnable, insufferable, self-justified... Which again, is why you must be careful when paying attention to this recluse, as this is exactly what you will be confronted with.

Jonny does, however, have two major chinks in his personality. Poetry and romance, in the personality of a new friend, disarms him immediately. Feeling loved by someone--someone special-- causes the snarky, bitchy exterior to melt away and reveal the lonely child hidden inside. When it does melt away, you can hardly recognize Jonny, because when his true colors shine? He becomes the best friend you will ever find.

Back story:
"I know there's the whole 'Way back when we new there was something different about Jonny...' But if I ever catch you bringing that up, I will tear you limb from limb with a rusty butter knife and a cheese grater. I hate cliche crap."

Jonny was born to a rather poor family in the bad parts of town. He never knew what it was to be spoiled, never knew what it was like to own a phone, never knew what it was like to be able to spend time with your parents. The only thing that Jonny ever really knew, was that he was destined to be destitute.

He grew up trying to make friends, but his affinity for things like kittens and hairbrushes tended to brand him as a degenerate. Jonny never quite understood why nobody could ever try to be friends with him, and his repeated rejection slowly twisted his psyche into developing defense mechanisms that manifested as many a bad personality trait. The real Jonny was lost to the void of loneliness and only the recluse Jonny remained.

Then one day in high school someone finally decided to try and reach into Jonny's heart and find what hid inside. A boy named Jake slowly earned his trust and whisked Jonny away on ventures in the world of plenty. He bought him clothes, took him out to eat things you couldn't buy with food stamps, and taught him how to love again. But Jonny always knew something was going to happen, so when Jake was killed in a shooting trying to protect him, Jonny's heart was locked in a vault so thick that you could swear it died in there.

Extra: Give the boy some cake and he'll follow you around for a few days.

What did you wish for?:
"He was there, Jake was there. Sitting, smiling, he waved at me. There were tears in my eyes when I ran after him. I thought we could go back. But I knew he was dead, so when I stepped on the train and he was gone, I wasn't really surprised."

Name: Finn Crawford

Age: 13

Appearance:


Personality: Despite his age, Finn thinks like a 50 years old man who is disappointed with his life. Everything was better back then and now everything is just going worse and worse. In example, everything was great in elementary school, all in the class were friends together but in the middle school they started to try act like adults and started to be mean to each other. He has an almost unbelievable ability to see something negative in pretty much everything.

Finn sees himself as a mature person. He has a naïve idea that seeing something bad in everything, “being realistic” as he calls it, makes him somehow more adult than the other people of his age, who are only interested in having fun and try to act more adult than they are. Finn is not actually that different from them, as he also tries to act more adult than he is, just in a different way. The main difference is merely that while Finn tries to prove his maturity to himself the others try to prove it to others as well. That’s something he has never happened to think.

Finn rarely shows his negative attitude, though. Instead he acts pretty cheerful and criticizes others only inside his mind and with some closest friends. It is generally not too hard to become friends with Finn, as he does not really know how to keep people away and he rarely dares to hurt anyone’s feelings. This is not really because he would be extremely thoughtful but simply because a habit and wanting to avoid trouble.

Rabbits are Finn’s soft spot. They always manage to make him smile even though Finn never forgets to think that they’ll die someday. His secret dream occupation is to become a rabbit breeder, just like his mother. His oldest sister is the only one who knows this secret. The sister is the person who Finn trusts the most because she always acts so mature and rarely makes fun of people. The sister also respects Finn as the person who he is.

Back story: One could call Finn’s family full. He has three older sisters and one younger and, on the top of that, her mother is a rabbit breeder, so his house is filled with long-eared friends. It’s not a bad family at all, though. Sure, the siblings argue from time to time, but they still care about each other. Being the only boy had caused Finn a small dilemma about not fitting in, especially when his mother works home but father not, but aside from this his family is pretty great. Finn naturally has lately always found something to complain about it, though.

Finn was actually a mildly positive person till he turned ten. Well, at least more positive than he currently is. When he was on the third grade he did not used to think how great everything was back in second grade and how full of faults everything was right at the moment. Partly it was because everything was pretty well in the elementary school. His class had unusually strong team spirit and bullying was quite rare. Everyone helped each other and Finn become used to helping others without selfish causes. Finn had many great friends who tended to be so optimistic that Finn rarely had chance to be cynical for a long time period. Partly it was because Finn had not learned to be very pessimistic yet.

When Finn was ten, he discovered reading news from internet. Along it he started to read comments of news and discovered a whole new extremely cynical and pessimistic world. In the beginning Finn thought that people who complained like that were just idiotic, but slowly the new way to think started to affect him. It did not help either that his dear pet rabbit which he had had as long as he could remember died that year. Slowly but surely Finn learned to see a bad side in almost everything and to think that it was more important than the good side of the same coin.

As the middle school started, people around Finn changed. They started to try to be more adult and act cool. Some started to bully others and some were bullied. This did not really help Finn to regain his former a bit happier attitude to life. In order to not end up bullied Finn started to adept in the new social environment. He attempted to act a bit cool and though he never started to personally bully others or even encourage it, he did barely anything to stop it. He just thought how stupid the bullies were but kept this thought inside his head.

Extra: Finn has currently tree rabbits. They are Bullet, a grey mini lop, Narnia, the white lionhead rabbit and Juliet, a black polish rabbit.

What did you wish for?: Finn wished for the past to return. In the train he saw his elementary school class being happy together and his late bunny.
