@alexfangtalon Transfer your finished character so I can add him to the cast!!

[reiko]

@Liriia GOOD CAUSE IM FORCING YOU TO STAY _{out of love} Yeah, probably. WE NEED A BACKSTORY TO THEIR MEETING They'd be so intimately platonic. Like despite the fact they constantly flirt with and check each other out they're two shallow fucks and do things like lay on each others stomachs and have seen each other half naked, when ignorant outsiders propose the idea of them together, both of them are like:

Hider

get out of my head i was thinking the exact same thing
Edit: Hm, maybe they met when Alex needed to style someone and take pictures of her work for a class and she saw Richard and went up to him and was all, "You're hot, be my model?"

[Emma]

Thank goodness it says 'always accepting'. I'm working on a character now. Does anyone have and wanted characters such as a best friend, girlfriend, sister, twin, enemy, rival, lover, or something for there character?

[SouffleGirl123]

@Emma Happy for Josie to have some connection to your character :). I'll read your CS when it's on her and we can discuss :)

[LovelyComplex]

@reiko@Liriia So is this gonna be like Jasper owns the place but Alex and King moved in a couple of weeks ago or the other way around? Or are they moving in today? Second year and up do not have to move in today since move in day is primarily for the First Years. But yeah, I want to get a grasp on how well those two know Jasper xD

@Emma Welcome! Usually people just dive in character making and discuss relationships afterwards :) so go in full speed ahead. Do you want me to reserve housing? Or do you want to wait until your character is done?

[cerozer0]

@reiko AW the modeling thing would be cute. King would totally do it cause [s]he likes being called hot[/i] and as the photo shoot goes on he's probably flirt with her a bit and then maybe it just becomes? A regular thing? And they become more friends than a couple.

Also @lovely complex maybe they moved in during the summer? Cause King totally wouldn't go home and idk about Alex but I expect she'd be down to party in NYC for a full off season? Thoughts?

Also I'll be making a director/screenwriter sometime today~ she's gonna be adorable

[LovelyComplex]

maybe they moved in during the summer? Cause King totally wouldn't go home and idk about Alex but I expect she'd be down to party in NYC for a full off season? Thoughts?

@Liriia@reiko I'm down with that. Summer shenanigans are always fun. Plus, they can be use to _{not really} Jasper's habits. I feel like Jay is like the forever third wheel when it comes to Alex and King xD

[LovelyComplex]

Question. Should I wait one more day for Character Sheets to come in or would ya'll want the wheels to start rollin' today? I'm fine with either or.

LEND ME YOUR OPINIONS.

[Viciousmarrow]

@lovely complex

I would vote for you to go ahead and start it.

[Carlsberg]

@lovely complex

I'd start it. People can join later if they need to.

[LovelyComplex]

@Viciousmarrow@Carlsberg

Okie dokie. I'll get a post in by this afternoon. I woke up too early so I need nourishment before I have brain power to write an intro post lol

[alexfangtalon]

@Emma What kind of character are you planning on making?

[LovelyComplex]

Reminder, my dear friends, if you have a WIP in the OOC, when you're done with your CS, repost it and tag me so I know you're done :)

[reiko]

@Liriia Yeah but they'd have this connection where they know they're just testing each other out and are some of the few people who see flirting as a sort of craft that helps you analyze someone because it says a lot about a person with the way they react and flirt back and they end up liking each other and their friendship just falls naturally from there. THEYRE AN ESTP-ESFP KINDRED SPIRITS DUO OKAY

@lovely complex Sorry I didn't get my two cents in before but maybe it's just Richard and Jasper over the summer and they get close so when Alex and Jasper first meet at the beginning of the RP when she's moving in, there's an unfamiliar air and hostile coming from the butthead because she's guarded to strangers and is competitive of being closest to Richard _{because she has abandonment issues and wants to ensure that she'll always have at least one person stay with her through everything} and they have to start getting to know each other.

*Throws in WIP because I'm trash and then can work on it while I'm at school.* _{I apologize. Just stare at her face. It's all she's good for anyways.}

║ Name ║

Alexandria Ellie Novak

║ Acceptable Nicknames ║

Alex, Ellie, Elle, Novak

║ Birthday & Age ║

04.04.1998 (XVIII)

║ Gender & Sexual Orientation ║

Female || Heterosexual

║ Occupation ║

Part-time, small time model || Currently not taking any jobs

║ Appearance ║

Ironically, the first thing noticeable about Alex is how normal she looks. Okay, so maybe not like an average person, but compared to most art students she would definitely be considered normal. Considered incredibly pretty by most and society, it's unfortunate someone so dependent on compliments and attention was placed in an environment where no one sees anything special about her. Majority of the students aren't usually interested in Alex, at least physically, because they find her boring; she doesn't have crazy, colorful hair or a whacked out, "independent" fashion sense.

Maybe it's just how her genetics worked out or people are wrong for saying beauty is skin deep while ugly is bone deep, but from first look, Alex looks unfriendly and judgmental no matter what her expression is. Even when she smiles, it feels very deceitful or cruel. However, she was lucky enough to be born with many of the features deemed very desirable such as a fine nose that comes to small point and a small body. Despite that, she obtained thin lips rather than pumped up ones and fell a little short of the necessary height to qualify as an official supermodel. But she doesn't let her natural fortune make her lazy; whenever Alex is notified of or takes on an upcoming modelling job, she'll become anorexic until then, wanting to impress any potential big time recruiters that might be there rather than to look even better for the photos being taken.

Alex is rarely found without makeup on and usually furrows her defined brow or widens her green eyes in incredulity when interacting with others in judgment or sarcastic retort. She has long, wavy tendrils of light brown hair that frame her sharply featured face and fall around her small shoulders that contrast nicely with her pale complexion. As far as style goes, Alex is always in the loop of the latest trends happening in the fashion world and will immediately go out and buy the necessary items to "complete" her never satisfied closet. You'll have to teach if you can't do. As far as marks on her body, she rarely has any since modelling regards only perfect bodies. She doesn't have any tattoos that she's sure she would eventually regret (if not for the meaning or look then definitely when her skin starts to sag with age) and keeps it simple with two pierced lobes. However, she does have a certain affinity for jewelry.

║ Personality ║

The Positive:

• Passionate - Despite not really know what she wants to do with her life or having a clear plan in front of her, Alex still has somewhat of a goal, and although it might not be constantly present in her mind, she recognizes that going to Mortimer is an essential part to achieving that purpose and strives to do her best for it every chance she gets. A very live-in-the-moment type of person, the brunette tries to make the most out of each instance to what she thinks is best, whether it be for her or for her beloved.
• Caring - Love is a difficult concept to open up to for Alex. She believes that's since she's the epitome of normal and isn't concerned with helping others first, that's the way majority of people are and therefore can't leave herself to become that vulnerable. Plus, she figures it's easier to not get attached when everyone always leaves whether it be voluntarily or not. However, when she does begin to make an intimate, emotional connection with somebody, her forefront of selfishness is pushed away for the other's regard and all she has left is compassion, sympathy, and thought for their well being. Although it's rare, this girl could love someone with everything she has, even if she's not good at showing it.
• Resourceful - Some people might consider this to be a negative attribute to which Alex would respond to with that they're idealists. Despite not being the deepest or putting much forethought in their life, Alex is still a realist who realizes that life isn't fair and a fighting struggle in whatever realm you're placed in. In order to survive, you must know how and to do so.

The Negative:

• Naive - It's not difficult for someone observant to conclude that Alex is easily impressionable. She'll believe anything as long as the salesperson exudes confidence in what they're saying since she's too focused and mesmerized by the perception than the actual content.
• Manipulative - Even though it's possible to be resourceful without the negative traits, when coupled with paranoia in the form of a selfish, immature girl, manipulation and whole ton of other messy attributes come out as well.
• Selfish - This one shouldn't come as much of a surprise to anyone who has gotten a glimpse of any other aspect of Alex's personality. It seems like so much of her bad stems from her hardly justified, irrational distrust for others.

What You See:
A grade A bitch; a cliche, prime example of a spoiled, rich brat. People's usual first impression of Alex is a diva who's shallow and stupid. And although she may rub many people the wrong way during first impressions, there's very few people who can deny that she's an attractive girl. As far as with "creative" artists, most of them brush her off as boring and just another product of society, demeaning her worth and figuring they're better than her because they're unique. Yet in the same breath they'll judge her for being weird. She's too upfront and uncaring of other's opinions and arrogant for her own good.

What I Know:
It's not that majority of the adjectives others use to Alex aren't accurate, they're just not encompassing the whole complex picture that is known as Alexandria Novak. While generally thought as negative characteristics, not many people give Alex a chance to get to know her and see her execute her traits in a positive way. They don't see that her spoiled nature can be turned into a passion because she hates losing or that her affinity for fashion has her own little taste in it that makes it hers. However, probably the hardest thing for people to try to tolerate or accept is her pushy nature which is just her unsophisticated, frustrated attempt to convey feelings that are too exhausting to dissect.

║ My Dreams ║

To find someone who'll always stick through with her no matter how self-destructive or unlikable she's being during that time

║ Fears ║

• Being alone - Everyone has this fear and with Alex it's only amplified much worse with her indifferent facade and guarded personality
• Aging - Growing old means a loss in beauty and a loss in beauty means a loss of interest because Alex believes that's all she's worth

║ Likes ║

• Fashion
• Excitement
• Freedom

║ Dislikes ║

• People underestimating her
• Not being good enough
• People

Alex is too independent to want to spend extra time with pretentious artists and be seen as an outcast any longer than she needs to, especially when she thinks there's nothing she can learn from them.

@reiko@Liriia
The dynamic of our apartment is kinda awesome haha.

1) Two Second Years and a Fourth Year - this could get weird
2) Two Males and a Female - that is a recipe for disaster
3) The flirtatious asshole. The bitter bitch. The sarcastic drunk.

Okay so let me make sure I have this right. Rich & Jay become bros during the summer then Alex comes along first thing in game. And.... Alex and Rich know each other, yes? So that would mean... Rich is the mutual friend of Alex and Jay?

[cerozer0]

@lovely complex @reiko That sounds about right to me! haha, welcome to hell Alex and Jay, cause here's ur fucking room mate

At First Glance

║ Personality ║

The Positive:

• Extreme Optimist
• Hyper Friendly
• Super Competitive

The Negative:

• Gets angered easily
• Slightly Gullible
• Loves to tease people

What You See:
Some geek gamer girl. She waste to much time in her room playing those games. She should be more like her brother. She does seem to be very passionate about things. It would do her good to talk to others she doesn't know.

What I Know:
Gaming has always been an escape for me. Whenever I feel sad, mad, or hurt I could just pick up a game and feel better. I'm kinda scared to leave my room in case I have another panic attack. It freaks me out. My brother is super out-going. I hang out with him and his friends mostly. When I have my cross-hairs on something I will get it done. I don't want to risk talking to new people because I don't want to have an attack and they think I'm just some loser who can't control her emotions.

║ Brief History ║

She had a fairly normal early childhood. Her brother was a musical prodigy so she was often compared to him, but she actually liked being compared to him. Her parents were very poor and hoped that their children could pull themselves up to a higher level despite how poor they had been. Unfortunately the father had gotten fired for something that he didn't do and he started drinking. Heavily. He beat his wife and Lindsay's brother and would sexually abuse her and her mother. One night the father went to far and accidentally killed the mother. He was arrested and Lindsay and her brother were put into the custody of their grandparents. This is when Lindsay started having Panic Attacks. Due to her attacks her grandparents had her homeschooled. She became a recluse and spent a large amount of her time playing video games because the stories and characters made her feel like she could do anything. Even beat her fears and attacks.

However, due to the public's view on gaming as a detriment to the youth, Lindsay's grandparent's became concerned. They almost took away all of her game equipment until she and her brother convinced them that gaming wasn't like what the public thought it was. All of this still made Lindsay upset that many misunderstood the thing that help her through some of her hard times. Her brother gave the brilliant, a rare occasion for him to be brilliant, advice that she do something to show them otherwise. So Lindsay, when she wasn't doing her schooling or recording for YouTube, took the time to study the different ways to make video games. She had a really difficult time at first with the coding, but the design aspect was amazing. Since she couldn't draw to well, she used what she could to make intricent looking scences and oddly blocky characters which added to the appeal. Her games had excellent soundtracks because her brother did those for her.

Unfortunately, the first few games fell flat. She started to become discouraged in her endeavor until one of her subscribers commented that the story of one of her games had touched him on a deeper level. Starting with that one comment many of her fans expreesed their love of her stories and characters. When saw these comments it encouraged her to stick with it. She sent one of her games into a competition being ran by a professional game developer. She didn't win, but the host of the competition gave tips and pointers to the top five games. She had been fourth place. She took the advice and implemented it into her games and started getting better.

Two years layer and her brother, whose name is Oliver, has been at The Mortimer School of Arts for a year for Classical music and Lindsay has come to the school a year after to get better at creating games. She still has the occasional panic attack but it is not as bad as it use to be. She is super excited to be a part of the school. She is still compared to Oliver at times, but she doesn't like it as much now. Mainly it is because they compare the two's mediums rather than their individual skill in the said areas. She wants everyone to see gaming the same way she sees it, but as long as they compare it to Ollie's music it is going to be an uphill battle for her.

║ About My Audition ║

She sent in a recording of her doing a live stream where she created twenty-five five minute games for a game jam. All games were pretty well done for what they were. Bugs were minimal and there weren't many issues with the coding. The graphics were alright and audio was done well.

When they had some people play through the games, the majority said that all the games had one big story, but some got different stories than the others. During her interview they addressed this.Lindsay told them that she didn't create the games with one story in mind. She created them so that depensing which order they were played in one would get their own story.
