Fae Rogers
Her apartment, Central Slums
Beams of midday sunlight filtered through a wide, dirty window and illuminated many small particles cascading through the very dusty air within a certain small apartment. A few more small sun beams that had pierced their way through holes in another window, this one boarded up with pieces of scrap plywood, fell on the brightly colored petals of the lilies and pansies growing alongside marijuana plants in a makeshift greenhouse constructed up against one of the walls. A half-eaten bowl of cup noodles sat on the kitchenette counter next to a sink of dirty dishes, adding to the messy atmosphere of the room dyed sepia by years of sun damage and cigarette smoke.
Ripples moved through the coagulating oily broth in the Styrofoam cup as something hit the wall of the adjacent room, and moments later the door in the wall was flung wide open. A rather short girl wearing a tank top, torn up jeans and a pair of cracked chemist’s goggles came running out of the subsequent cloud of off colored smoke, coughing profusely and waving her gloved hands about her face in an attempt to dispel the fumes. She stumbled over to the window, thanking the Lord once again that there was no fire sprinklers installed in her hazard of an apartment building, and flung open the dirty frame. Once the smoke had dispelled, she slid the goggles up off of her eyes, which were smudged with their typical blue liner, and sat them on the plume of dyed hair atop her head. Looking a little dumbfounded by the occurrence, she stared into the small room attached to the main apartment space, wafts of smoke still flowing from the door. “Well…” She mumbled to herself. “I wasn’t expecting that.”
This was but another one of Fae’s failed experiments, not a particularly rare occurrence, but usually less spectacular. Resolving to try again tomorrow, she cleaned up as well as she was able, collecting pieces of shattered glass beakers and making sure that the progress of her working projects weren’t disturbed. Sure, this job was more than a little dangerous in more ways than one, but in her opinion it would always rank leagues above sitting in an office, working tirelessly to put money in some greedy snub's pockets.
It wasn’t long after this incident, that the young drug dealer threw on a thin hooded jacket and pair of boots with worn down soles, and decided to head out on her rounds. It was a bit of a daily routine for her to walk around the slums of Los Angeles, meeting new and regular customers, and just generally socializing as she pleased. There was something about the company of the people living in this area that made the experience of merely interacting with them a very interesting experience. Maybe it was the rawness of their personalities, or the fact that they always seemed to have the most interesting stories to tell, but it made the days more flavorful.
Her faded grey gym bag containing samples of assorted wares and a few of her personal belongings was the last item to be thrown around her small frame before the headed out the creaking door and down the perpetually dirty steps to the lobby. Upon exiting the building, she squinted into the bright sunlight and felt a thin smile appear on her chapped lips. “Such a nice day…”

Even in the darkest, dirtiest places on earth you will find that light exists, in faint glimmers of hope, brief camaraderies, and fleeting moments of happiness. Which is a good thing, considering that this is a pretty damn dark place...
Welcome!
To the underbelly of Los Angeles, home to the so-called scum of human society. Here in the dark alleys and shady backstreets you will meet many interesting characters, including, (but not limited to): runaways, drug addicts, black market dealers, prostitutes, local vagabonds, homeless people, gang members, aging transvestites, drunkards, insane hermits, sketchy loan sharks, and couple people who are really down on their luck. Even though they are looked down upon by the rest of the world, these outcasts and misfits exist in small communities of their own and do their best to make due. Beneath the chipping paint, rusting metal, and graffiti covered walls, a few glimmering gems of happiness exist for them.
This is a character-centric roleplay about the life and times of a few peculiar people living in the shady part of modern day Los Angeles. The story will focus on their situations and how they interact with each other during their day to day lives. This is meant to be a mostly lighthearted roleplay, but a bit of drama and tearjerking is always welcome~

Ahahaha~ Yes, that kind of thing can really only happen in a porno, a bad joke, or a roleplay! >w<
Mhmm, it makes sense that everyone would know Olivia, since she's probably the only doctor around~
I also planned to have my character at least mildly acquainted to most of the other characters, mostly because it's less fun if your character is all alone without a single soul to talk to, so if anyone is having trouble finding interaction, I'll be around~ ^.^
Also, Gabby, your sheet is accepted~ ^.^ Such a nice character!
Hopefully I'll have the IC up a little while~
Ah, and finally I get to post my sheet~ I'm sorry for the length, since this was prepared before I realized that everyone else was posting shorter ones. >.<"
Name: Fae Rogers
Age: 26
Height: 5’ 3”
Weight: 126lb
Occupation: Drug Dealer
Personality: Possessing a disposition composed of pleasantness mottled with cynicism, and a constantly present humor that is lightly satirical and sardonic, Fae is pretty easy to get along with. A natural businesswoman, she is outgoing and willing to talk to even the shadiest characters under the right circumstances. A slightly more subtle aspect of her person is the fact that she doesn’t seem to treat anyone like they’re of a lower status. The way that she acts, all humans, no matter how young or old or clean or dirty, are equal. Due to her profession and nature, she’s acquainted with many members of the Los Angeles slums, in passing if nothing else.
Bio: Miss Fae didn’t exactly live the kind of life one would expect from someone who currently spends their days manufacturing and distributing illegal substances in order to finance a life within a bad part of one of the worst slums in America. The majority of her young life was spent within a big white house at the end of a lovely little cul-de-sac, complete with a white picket fence and a cute boy next door. She and her two older sisters had a very pleasant childhood. Father was a politician perpetually in good public favor, mother was an elementary school teacher. All in all, life was good.
Her school years were passed in a rose colored haze, within a series of prestigious schools inhabited by similarly privileged kids and the best teachers money could buy. With her natural intellectual prowess, the politician’s daughter never had any trouble with her subjects and excelled in many areas of study. Now, the fact that she was such a good thinker might seem like just another trait that would set Fae on a course to owning a big hilltop house of her own, but in reality it would lead in the opposite direction.
After finishing high school, she decided to broaden her horizons and attend university in a different city. Financed by a scholarship and fueled by a desire to learn, she leapt headlong into a series of new experiences. Living away from home was incredibly different from her previous, overly sheltered lifestyle, thus she was experiencing many things for the first time. Many of these things were pleasant and funny and great, but others were of a different variety. For the first time, Fae learned that there were people who lived on the street because they didn't have enough money for a home, and people who worked all day and all night to avoid such a fate, and people who hurt and killed other people because they had never known anything else.
Any other rich snob would have merely turned their head and looked away, but to the little girl from a neighborhood where everyone had at least three cars in the garage, it was the beginning of a revelation. As time went on, she was plagued by questions. Why did the top earning one percent of the country earn more than the bottom forty percent combined? Why were there people who had to resort to selling themselves for a enough money to survive while pop stars and celebrities could afford to buy diamond studded toilet paper?
Even after attempts to help the community and be as charitable as possible, Fae continued to become increasingly disgusted with the ‘upper class’ and their ignorantly righteous lifestyle. Nervous breakdowns, panic attacks and recurring cases of manic depression became the norm until she graduated with a scientific degree. For some time, she had planned to become a pharmaceutical scientist and give back to the community by developing medicines, but upon being introduced to the severe corruption within the country’s medical system she could no longer stand to be around people who only sought to help themselves at the cost of other’s pain.
Eventually she moved back to her home town of Los Angeles, she lives deep within the city’s underbelly in a dingy apartment. Now that she’s away from the corruption and politics and fake smiles that lacquer the upper crust of the city, her physical condition has improved significantly, despite the fact that the water quality in her home can be questionable at times, and her mood and outlook on life have become better as well. That pharmaceutical training came in handy upon being introduced to the illegal drug trade, and she finally settled into a job that in no way contributes to a capitalist agenda or puts money in the pockets of the rich. Most days she can be found wandering the slums and socializing, or holed up in her spare room, cooking up a new and interesting recipe.
Other:
-She owns a car, but almost never uses it.
-She often feels guilty about the fact that she was able to enjoy such a nice childhood, while most other people that she knows have had it hard all their lives.
-Like a chocolate maker with a sweet tooth, she's been occasionally known to 'sample' her own goods.

Thorgilli- Yep! There is still tons of time to jump in! We haven't started yet~ ^.^
Snippy and Major Ursa, your characters are approved, and I must say that I love them both to bits already!! >w<
Ahh, this makes me super excited~
So, I think we have enough characters to get this show on the road if everyone is ready. ^.^
Sometime tomorrow I think will post my sheet (if anyone is wondering why the heck I haven't posted one already, I prepared a few of different genders and occupations so that I could add to the lacking gender/occupational groups in an attempt to help balance the cast), then I'll post the info page and a starter post in the IC and we can officially start!
This won't be until a little later in the day though, so new players are free to sign up and submit more sheets before we start, and the existing players can do some planning for relationships and courses of action~

Ah yay~ Another player! Sure, we already have an established mafia scene, and an underground fighting ring, so gangs are more than welcome!
The only thing I would ask you to keep in mind is the one character to start rule, though you may control as many NPCs as your heart desires!

Thanks manapool! ^.^ I like the picture, since Murdoc of Gorillaz has always been a favorite character of mine~
Madame and GreenOlive, thank you for the lovely characters!! And to think I was worried we might not have enough ladies for this roleplay! ahaha ^.^"
That's a good question Star. Uhm, I was thinking about six characters, not including my own, would be a good minimum to start the IC. Because of the nature of the story, it will be pretty easy to integrate new characters if we get some later on, so if everyone is eager to get going, I think that we could easily start the IC thread with these five characters. If all of the players are ready, that is. ^.^

Ah such cute characters! I like them a lot!
I have only one teeny tiny qualm, being that manapool, your sheet is missing a picture. ^.^"
You can use a real photograph or a drawn one, or if you really don't want to use a picture you can just write a brief description of how your character looks.
Thanks!
