[OOC] The Milton Hillside Library

[SaraiRayne]

The Milton Hillside Library is the oldest standing building in the Milton Hillside area (dubbed Milhill by locals). While the impressive brick structure towers above the smaller town buildings, the library itself is not a common attraction and is quite often found nearly empty. There is a small study area in the back and wall-to-wall bookshelves complete with a rolling ladder, but it's charm cannot compete with the lure of more modern areas of Milhill.

A small group of unrelated students who covet the quiet resource of the library has slowly arisen out of sheer need. While their intentions were set souly on using the Library for their own purposes, this lot of teenagers finds themselves becoming an unlikely group of friends.

Location in this roleplay is not restrained to the Library, this is simply a place for the group to meet and build relationships. There is no set plot line, and the characters we create shall guide the story.

There are only going to be 5 slots, not including myself. If someone wanted to play a teacher/librarian/parent or less permanent character, we could definitely work that in.

SLOT 1:

JoLynn

Name: Joyce Lynn Levendence, but got stuck with the nickname JoLynn
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Age & Grade: 15, Freshman
Appearance:
Background/Home life: JoLynn father died when she was young and she's been reading ever since. Her mother is verbally and physically abusive but she doesn't let it show, she stays strong through it all and spends everyday besides Sundays at the library.
Personality: JoLynn is bubbly and sweet. But she tends to steal things so she's a bit of a kleptomaniac and she lies if she's asked about bruises.

SLOT 2:

Mo

Name: Monet "Mo" Brooks

Gender: Female

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual

Age & Grade: 16, Sophomore

Background/Home life: Mo grew up with her single father and her nanny, Rosa. Rosa has always been like a mother to her, basically because she's never met her mom. She died right after she gave birth. Growing up, Monet has never really had many friends. Whenever there were kids playing outside, she would just stay inside and make up games by herself. When she turned nine, that's when she started to love reading. She especially loved fairy tales, and how they always had a happy ending. Now, in high school, she's still a loner. Sure, there are a few people that may know her name, but none of them take the time to speak to her. She has read all of the books in her house, but hasn't gone to the library until now. She has to go to study for Spanish class, which she is failing.

Personality: Monet is quiet and reserved. Everyone thinks that she's shy, but that's not the case. She can socialize, she just chooses not to. She's surprisingly funny and loves to tell jokes and play pranks on her nanny. Being a very smart girl, she always gets A's and B's in all of her classes except for the foreign language. She's a goody-two shoes.

SLOT 3:

Cat

Name: Caterina 'Cat' Valentine

Gender: Female

Sexual Orientation: Straight

Age & Grade: 18 and the 12th grade.

Background/Home life: Cat was born into a rich family. Her parents were both big time politicians. They were described as classy people with the perfect son. Then, she came along. The surprise. Her parents decided to use her birth to their advantage and they tried to prick and prod her into the perfect daughter. But she wasn't. She loved metal and electronica. She loved playing the electric guitar as loud as she could. She loved blaring lyrics at the top of her lungs. She loved black and she had her own fashion. It was her thing, she was her own person. So, her parents practically gave up on her and just tried to ignore her. You probably think she didn't care right? Since she is such a bad ass? Nope, she cared alright. She got angry. So, she began partying and tried to ruin her family's name. You may be thinking 'How could she do that to her family?' What would you do if the people that were suppose to support you and love you want you to be someone your not? Try to change you into a freaking barbie doll? Cat wouldn't have it.

So, this is how she lives her life. Living it to the fullest and enjoying it. Also, dealing with school. Even has a little reputation. 'Bad ass loner'. She doesn't deal with people. Except for if she is out at clubs and partying. But, other than that, she does her own thing. But, if you mess with her....she won't hesitate to kick your ass. That's her. Basically.

Personality: Cat is a nice girl inside. She just hasn't fount the right person or people to reveal it to. Or, no one has bothered to try and get to know her. All people see is some quiet girl with this whole dangerous air around her. But, inside she is a very good person who does her best to help people. She has her own sense of humor, which can be dark at times, and she is actually very loyal. She never betrays her friends. And if she makes a promise....she keeps it. She is a very honorable person. Which is quite rare in her generation. But, Cat is a complex person and there are many more pieces of her personality just waiting to be put together. But, that will have to wait.

SLOT 4:

Henri

Henri Ji Hyung
Male
Bisexual
17; Senior
His life at home is by no means horrible. It's pretty normal, actually. They're well off, living in a small home a few miles away from the school. His mother and father split up sometime around the time he entered high school, but that was just officially. They lived apart for many years prior. He has a half sister who is about the same age (That was the catalyst for the split), but she's a bit of a troublesome girl. Henri prefers to spend most of his time in his bedroom to avoid interaction with the family. It really isn't that he doesn't like them, it's just easier to concentrate. He enjoys silence, and being an artist, he utilizes the time to draw and think up what to do next. He's almost too dedicated to his hobby (as his father says). Henri spends all of his time doing this, and thus hardly ever studies. His grades weren't ever the best (earning him stereotypical asian jokes from both his peers and half sister), and his father is always worried, and sometimes a little irrational. But, what can you do? Henri spends most of his time alone, using school as an excuse to leave the house just long enough to get away from the impending stress of his family. Of course they don't mean harm. However, he can't help but wonder. The only other thing aside art that he cares about is baseball. He might look a little skimpy on the muscle side, but he doesn't really play competitively anymore. He gave up his sports in order to pursue his hobby. He would say it's better this way.

Henri is a very soft spoken boy. He prefers to do things his own way, and usually only when he feels up to it. He prefers the company of himself, to stick to drawing and reading. He rarely ever speaks to anybody out of sheer unwillingness, and won't speak during class unless he really has to. Not that it really matters. It seems to others that he's a lazy person, being that he doesn't do well in school, and he hardly remembers anyone's name (no matter how much you talk to him, nothing personal), but Henri is actually quite the opposite. He has a great deal of motivation, but his downfall is that it only extends to things that he actually really cares about. Henri's a very honest person, no matter the situation. He'll tell you what he honestly thinks, only if you ask though.

Ah, I usually don't write these kinds of things. I prefer to leave things up to the course of the rp. I apologize if it seems a bit awful...

SLOT 5:

Jeffery

Name: Jeffery Woods
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Age & Grade: 16 Sophomore
Appearance: the one on the right

Background/Home life: Jeffery was never liked at school or at home. His parents almost completely forgot about him, he was bullied at school, his life was definitely not fun. He had very few friends since he usually keeps to himself. He turned towards reading to occupy his time, and ever since he started he couldn't really stop. He started coming to the library to get away from his life and hopefully find others like him.
Personality: He doesn't usually talk to people and when he does he is very nervous and shy. He is extremely clumsy and usually trips over nothing or drops things that he's carrying. He is very friendly and caring if you get past the nervousness.
