[OOC] Camp Turtle Shell ~ (Still accepting and in-progress)

[Roecoon]

Camp Turtle Shell

(This is Shellers, the mascot.)

(Welcome role-players! For Camp Turtle Shell, interaction is the key. To help out with that I have made a few locations for your character to explore and find others. All of the information on them and the staff is down below. AT certain times there will be different activities to participate in if you are kind of lost or don't have anything better to do. However you don't have to go to them if something else interests you more. I shall be playing the staff in order to keep things rolling in events and around the camp. Since this is a casual roleplay I only expect a few paragraphs per post, though I will understand if there isn't much going on. I will announce cabin mates and who goes where when I see how many people are interested. You are very much welcome to do as you please, get romantic, or not, make friends, completely mess stuff up, break riles, but mostly have fun.)

Welcome campers! Here at camp Turtle Shell, our goal is to get our campers out of their shells. We will not only occupy, but we also hope to teach them. Exactly what do we want to teach them you ask? We hope to teach them skills and hobbies that they can enjoy for the rest of their lives. We want to teach them about friendships and give them memories and lessons they can take home. Camp Turtle Shell provides it's campers with a good dose of fresh air and socialization. We do not allow the campers to have their phones or any other electronic devices but there is a phone in the main building and parents can always contact their children through letters.

Areas!

Turtle Shell Lake

Info

One of the most active areas in camp is the beautiful Turtle Shell Lake! So named after the good amount of friendly box turtles that live around the area. With it's pristine water and great view, what isn't there to love? Here is where campers can get swimming lessons, learn to kayak, and learn to fish. We also encourage a bit of friendly competition with the occasional race. All of the various activities held here will be supervised by counselor/lifeguard Ellis Stokes.

Cafeteria

Info

Here is where all of the meals are eaten. Every meal is prepared with love and care by Chef Erick Shaw. We take care to include many vegetables and fruits as possible. Junk food is something we don't serve to the campers and we would encourage you to not bring anything with you. One of our missions is to energize everyone by detoxing their bodies. Only fresh healthy food is available! However there are marshmallows for desert at night during the bonfire and birthday people get a small cake for the occasion. We also do not permit snacking or entering the kitchen unsupervised.

Crafting Cabin

Info

A place to let your imagination go wild and get messy! If campers are feeling inspired they can go here, to paint paper mache or just draw. Our own crafting master Minni Allison aka Min will be teaching crafting classes. Campers will be taught how to make dolls, jewelry, and various glittery things. Basic skills like sewing, weaving and crocheting will also be taught if necessary.

Sports Feild

Info

What point would there be to a good diet without a healthy dose of exercise? Here is where campers can join in or start a classic game of soccer or dodge ball. Classes in skill are taught by our physical education teacher Olivia Mitchell. Classes include tree climbing, archery, tumbling, etc. kick ball tournaments are pretty common and the prizes are usually fun sized pieces of candy. So much fun to be had here!

Cabin Area

Info

This is where everyone sleeps. Every cabin has campers and a counselor. Each counselor is responsible for their cabin mates. Camp Turtle Shell must be completely safe, so in order to make sure that happens, everyone must be supervised. Counselors have the authority to assign tasks to campers if they misbehave and will also deliver their mail. Each camper will be assigned to their cabin when they arrive at camp.

bonfire area

Info

Every night we hold a large bonfire to help clear away debris and end the day on a good note. We roast marshmallows and tell stories. Sometimes we even have singalongs. Don't worry we always put out the fire before bed.

Stable

Info

Here at camp, we believe animals to be very important. To anyone whose interested, horseback riding is available. Learning to care for others is essential to making friends. Several horses are available and they are all friendly and tame. Campers are encouraged to spend time here to learn a thing or two. All of the horses are cared for by Russell Parker

Rec Room

Info

Sometimes we all just need a break. This area isn't very big but this is a good area to relax. However campers shouldn't spend too much time indoors when there are so many fun things to do!

Nurse's Station

Info

The well being of our campers is the most important thing. Here we are fully equipped to deal with any situation that may arise. Any and all medications must be left here upon arrival. Also all medications must be administered by the Nurse Lynette Brooks. Be sure to leave a list of all allergies and ailments with her thank you.

→ Quirk:
Dyed hair pink just for attending camp.

→ Biography:
"When you grow up Dawn, what do you want to be?" The question came across her mother's lips like any concerned parent. "A turtle." the young girl replied, her big, bright eyes gleaming with joy. "You can't be a turtle Dawn, that is impossible." her mother discouraged, shaking her head. "Nothing is impossible. I'm going to be a turtle" Dawn replied, determined to show her mother what life was really about.

Fast forward 10 years, 5 schools, 8 homes, and 7 stepfathers later, Dawn had not become a turtle, but she had escaped her shell. Growing up Dawn was an easy going kid, her father hadn't been in her life much but he seemed like an okay guy when he was around. Her mother had always been there, working hard, trying to do what seemed like the best for herself, and sometimes Dawn. The constant moving wasn't very helpful for the young girl's growth, but hey- if it pays the bills, it pays the bills.

Dawn found refuge in her artwork, drawing, dancing, painting, the works. It was in her art she could be anything, she could create anything.

On the eve of her 16th birthday her mother announced she had fallen in love once again, and that they were to be moving, as to be closer to the man's work. "Great." Dawn spat out, packing up her belongings once again. "Honey, I promise this will be the last time. I promise." her mother assured her, her petite frame barely taking up the door way of Dawn's empty room. "Mmmhmm." she mumbled. It was the last time every time.

Sitting in the new room of the unfamiliar house that belonged to an unfamiliar man, Dawn held a stale cupcake to her lips. "Happy Birthday to me." she sighed, taking a bite. Closing her eyes she wished this year would be different, that this year wouldn't be another repeat of the last. Eating the rest of the cupcake, she paged through the informational brochure of the summer camp her mother had signed her up for to make new friends in the area.

"Maybe this won't be so bad after all."

[Roecoon]

ℓιкєѕ:
Hot drinks. Sweets. Stars. Animals.

∂ιѕℓιкєѕ
Air pollution. Opposite of neat.

qυιякѕ:
-Clumsy.
-Loves to snack on chocolates.
-OCD. She will fix anything that bothers her.

вισgяαρну & ρєяѕσηαℓιту:
If you had to describe her in one word, it would be kuudere. She is blunt, cynical, and looks like she isn't interested in anything. But deep down, she is actually nice and caring. People often mistake her for someone who is cold, but really, she is just socially awkward and does not understand how emotions and human interactions work.

She was a normal teenager who was brought up by two loving parents and had a good childhood. She doesn't have a dark past, family problems, and she hasn't experienced any kinds of hardships in life. The only tragic event that has happened in her life was the death of her older sister, which she has no memories of because she was only two years of age. Her parents signed her up for camp out of love and concern. They wanted her to make some friends and interact with different people, hoping that she would learn a lot from this trip.

σтнєя:
Loves to eat but sucks at cooking.

@Winter05 interesting, can't wait to see her interact. go ahead and put her in the character tab

@RoecoonThanks! ^^

NAME:
Elizabeth "Eli" Cassidy

AGE:
17

LIKES:
Rain | Music | Coffee | Running | Anything that gets her blood pumping

DISLIKES:
Sitting still | Sweets | Being underestimated | Being ordered around | Silence

QUIRK:
Eli always carries a ring with her (often placed on a necklace) for good luck. The ring was her brother's class ring.
Eli has a number of tattoos around her body, most of which are quotes or lyrics.
Eli is a very quick learner.

BIO/PERSONALITY:
Everyone who knew Elizabeth Cassidy would tell you that she is absolutely crazy. Eli is a risk taker verging on the point of being reckless. There isn't a dare or a challenge that Eli has turned her back to. This has often gotten her in trouble before - with authorities and from suffering a few broken bones - but Eli loved the thrill of it. When her peers cheered and cajoled her into doing something, she just knew she had to give them a show.
Eli isn't sure when her addiction with adrenaline rushes started, but she knew her brother was a big influence in it. He had taken her on his motorcycle for the first time when she was nine and she loved the feeling of the wind against her skin. Even before that, she'd been jumping cliffs with him. Eli savored those memories - screams of both terror and fun as adrenaline pumped in their veins - because that was all she had left. Memories.
Her brother died when she was fourteen. She supposed she should have learned from him. She should have learned to stop being as reckless as he was, but she couldn't help herself. That had been the only way she saw to honor his memory. And it was destroying her.
When her friends cornered her and gave her the brochure for Camp Turtle Shell, she laughed in their faces. They said it was to help her - that maybe slowing down would be good for her. Eli didn't listen. She didn't want to get stuck in some camp where nothing happens. She wanted to feel her blood pumping under her skin. She wanted her heart to beat so fast it was close to bursting. Ready to give up, her friends moved to let her escape. It wasn't until her childhood friend piped up, daring her to survive at least three weeks in camp. Eli knew it was a trap - that she was being manipulated - but the smirk on her friend's face irked her.
That was how she found herself packing her things and heading for Camp Turtle Shell, hating every second of it.

Quirk:
never one to draw attention to himself, John tries to make himself seem smaller than he really is.

Biography:
John was a surprise to his mother, a mistake for his father, and life was generally split between two extremes. Warmth, love, and affection on his mother's side while his father was cold, harsh, and distant. These constant fluctuations played havoc on the young mans life as he inherited his mothers kind nature but also gained his fathers size and strength.
Because of his size and timid nature, his father forced John into boxing. While he found the exercise incredibly rewarding he found the actual act of boxing much less so, unfortunately John quickly found out that his father did not tolerate failure.

Bio/Personality:
Kalliades was born on a farm. Living on a country side he had the privilege to enjoy nature. Having little friends he spent most of his time helping his father, or playing round the farm. when he reached ten years he moved to his grandparents that live in the city.

At first Kalliades was a cheerful guy. And for the first time there was allot of people his age around, he wanted to meet them and play with them. But because of his work at the farm he was bigger and more rugged then the other kids. Since he had little social experiance from home, his way of making friends was running towards them and try to join in with what they were playing, or simply just starting a friendly conversation. But most boys and girls got scared when he ran up to them, and within weeks almost every kid on the block thought him weird, and so they kept his distance.

At this point Kalliades had little to nothing to do. His grandfather thought him how to fix clocks and hand watches, he also bought him skates, as in means of transportation. Once Kalliades joined high school Everyone kept away mostly because of the rumours that were spread among other students, who knew him since he came to town. So again he spent most of his time alone. One thing he was missing was the work on the farm. He spent most of his time skating through town or fixing watches, but he still missed physical exercise like he had at his farm. He even started to carry a suitcase around, with in it he had many different tools for fixing watches and his Rollerblades.

At the second half of his first year in high school, some guy came to Kalliades asking him about his suitcase. After two hours of talking Kalliades had his first actual friend. Since then they spent their time together whenever possible. Kalliades even joined the dog brothers martial arts club because of his friend. Though he didnt like it at first he came to love it. Everyone there was laid back and friendly, also it offered the physical exercise that Kalliades longed for. Kalliades eve changed teh way he dressed, so he and his friend looked more like brothers than friends. Couple of months later Kalliadess friend moved to another city, leaving him alone. Deciding he had enough of being alone he asked his father if he can join some camp, and the answer was yes.
