Though he's not dumb, nor is he stubborn, nor is he unwilling to learn, Grant just really hates people telling him what to do. Usually he just accepts orders passively and then does fuck-all to actually act on them. He's never confrontational about it, though. When he is able to choose what he wants to do, he is actually pretty bright and excited to learn. He suffers, though, in highly rigorous, structured environments.

Somewhat ambivalent towards the whole match thing, but passively.

| Biography |
After struggling through his first years of regular schooling, his mother pulled him out of class and homeschooled him. In this environment he was much more successful, though he grew exponentially in some areas and suffered in others. He loved reading, writing, and speaking, (foreign languages especially) but found little joy in algebra, geometry, and physics. During his first year of high school, his mother was diagnosed with a brain tumor, and so, for her, he decided to head off to school (real school, he calls it). His mother is recovering now, and says he can return to the way it was soon, if he wants to. He likes the social environment of the school, though, and is still figuring out what he wants to do.

Modern Shakespeare

We could easily diversify from the whole R&J two families conflict if we want! King Lear, A Winter's Tale, and The Merchant of Venice all have some similar conflicts with different twists. I feel like R&J is going to be a popular choice for characters so it might be good to stick to that, but there's a lot of potential for side plots to mix up some characters!

Modern Shakespeare

I am so down for this. Count me in.

EDIT
re: plot - we'd need something to bind our characters together. high school? popular drama competition? a small-town tragedy?

I'm also interested, if you have room!

One Goal: Survive

Name: Romeo Nieri
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Power: Fire manipulation
Appearance: Romeo is about 6 feet tall and slouchy, with long limbs that he hasn't quite grown into. His skin is pale and his face is somewhat acne riddled, concentrated mostly on his forehead. His hair is dark and curly and his eyes large and brown. His eyes, along with his soft face that hasn't entirely thinned out all of its baby fat, give him an overall 'youthful' look, which is both a blessing and a curse.
Other: Romeo teeters. He's right on the brink of adulthood, and he strives to prove himself daily. He'd do anything for responsibility and self-sufficiency--but his naiveté tends to show through at inopportune moments as well. He always thought he liked girls, but who really knows.

Name: Micah Darwish
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Power: Officer
Appearance: Micah is dark-skinned and petite, with short hair and dark eyes. Her features are thin and somewhat pinched, giving her a deadly resting bitchface. She is all muscle and no fat; her body has been cultivated for combat. Her arms are thin and ropy and her legs toned from running, climbing, and crawling. She has scars on her hands, arms, face, and torso, all imprints of a lesson learned--what she calls stupidity.
Other: Her hard life growing up has left her athletic but hurt. Her hands are stiff from all the scars, she experiences chronic pain in her shoulders, hands, and knees, and she is hard of hearing in her right ear. Despite this, she's got wicked hangman's humor and a bravado that borders straight egoism. Pansexual and proud.

That's fine, I was just making sure! Thanks!
