So what's the roommate situation looking like?

We have Anastasia and Max

I think the rest of us guys are good whichever way that breaks down. Someone just has to make a call on who they want.

What are the girls thinking? :D

I'm back - M looking for RP Partner - Open to lots of things

Hello,

Hope you're having a good morning! I love the idea of an assassin/target RP. I'm also a huge fan of A Knights Tale! I'd be game for either setting if you're up for it! I really like the pirate/royalty idea too, but someone beat me to it haha. :)

So for the record, flightless and I had no collaboration or conspiracy on how we both chose to view Marcie. I think we were both working on those posts at the same time in fact. I think it's kinda funny how similar Spence and Matt seem to think.

Yea no one wants to be the Ross....

Matt's Relationships

Rafe Guttierez
Relationship towards them: Highly respected friend.
How does your character personally feel about this person?: I think secretly Matt looks up to Rafe. He just seems to have everything together. Regardless of how much he actually does, he always seems like it.

Avery Rydell
Relationship: A little stand-offish.
Feelings: Doesn't fully trust Avery. He's ran into girls that look like her before. There's something intriguing though. Something he can't quite figure out. It's that thing that allows him to try to build a friendship.

Maximus Santos
Relationship: Friends
Feelings: Max seems to be a very understanding fella. He helped Matt out, and it's a debt that Matt intends to pay back. In the meantime, Matt's going to do all he can to crack Max's fairly serious demeanor.

Alexei Malakav
Relationship: Friends
Feelings: Matt is excited to learn more about Alexei. He has a bit of a disillusion of grandeur about him. In Matt's mind Alexei is a trained assassin, or a brutal bare knuckles fighter, or just an all around rough guy.

Johanna Sanchez
Relationship: My sister from another mister...
Feelings: They fight, they get on each others nerves, but at the end of the day there's a connection that's real. Matt working for Warren in the past may occasionally bring out some hard emotions, but Matt enjoys knowing that Johanna trusts him.

Anastasia Carver
Relationship: Good Friends
Feelings: She's beautiful. When Matt pursued his bet of going out with a model, Stas wasn't anything like he thought she'd be. Although the attempt was unsuccessful, Matt kind of sees himself as a protector. He does what he can to keep Stas away from the wrong kinds of people.

Luci Becker (Haven't discussed anything so this can definitely change!)
Relationship: Great Friends
Feelings: Luci is the kind of person Matt can hang out with and shut his mind off. There are a lot of natural similarities between the two, and that has always put Matt at ease around her. He wishes maybe she'd slow down a bit, but there's better than sitting with her with a beer in hand, and nothing going on.

Marcie Belmonte (also haven't discussed, just a guess)
Relationship: Friends
Feelings: Matt can't help but find Marcie funny, even when she's not trying to be. He finds himself apologizing to her a lot! He doesn't purposely try to annoy her, but some of her mannerisms are just so uniquely amazing in his eyes, he can't help but laugh.

Spencer Rivera
Relationship: Best Friends
Feelings: Spencer's hours may not leave them much time to actually hang out, but when they do it's as if they both take on different personalities. There's a comfort, and a freedom that lets them be themselves. Which in general is pretty carefree and happy. When hanging with Spence, everyone around them is going to have a good time whether they like it or not! (Note for me: Shared interests play a part too)

So yea I was thinking either Rafe or Spencer for a roommate, but I'm open to whatever! All of this is open to change too! Some of those feelings about people will obviously change as the story advances.

I totally missed the "Sharing apartments in groups of two" part... Geesh now I have to pick a roommate! I agree, I think Max should live with a female. The possible interactions I'm imagining are awesome!

So I'm just getting the next ball rolling and throwing around ideas. I know there's 2 more coming.... Ya'll know your characters, and these are just opening thoughts. I'm open to anything!

Spence - So I feel like Matt knows Spence from a hospital visit. He did something crazy, and they bonded over a T-shirt Matt had on or something similar. Matt thought Spence was attractive, and based on Spence's conversation about his yorkie thought maybe he was gay too, or at least bi.... they went out and became instant friends.

Max- Like most people, Matt sought after Max needing money. They met in a comic book store, or something similar as Max was checking out Anime, and Matt was more interested in foam swords or something to that sort. They got talking, eventually Max gave him a loan, the rest is history.

Rafe- I think Rafe and Matt hit it off at a pub. Maybe their relationship even started with a drunk fight, and wound up with a deep friendship.

Johanna- I think they have kind of a love hate relationship. They pick on each other, but only they are allowed to pick on each other. My thought is Warren knew Matt. Maybe an old boss. When things went badly, Matt took Johanna's side.

Stas - On the wrong end of a bad bet perhaps. A bit cliche, but Matt made a bet with his friends that he could get with a model. Despite his best moves, it didn't work, but a friendship came out of it after all.

Avery - I struggle with this one. I love the character. I think it's one of those relationships where on the surface they seem like complete opposites, but as they get to know each other they realize that the other isn't that bad.... Maybe they just know each other through everyone else? Totally open to you!

Alexei - I'm open to ideas. Not sure where he fits in this craziness, but I'm excited to have him on board!

Matt Thorn

Name: Matt
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Race/Ethnicity: Caucasian
Sexuality: Bi-Sexual

Appearance:

Personality: Matt is a bit of a nerd. He loves all things Super Heros, Star Wars, and even Pro Wrestling. He's a big video game player. He's good at a lot of things, but not necessarily great at anything. He is as outgoing as they come. He doesn't know what embarrassment means. His heart is always on his sleeve which leads him to act first, and think about it later. It's this flaw that usually gets him in the most trouble. He's very emotional, very trusting, and always honest.

History: Matt grew up in South Bend, Indiana, just about 90 minutes from Chicago. Life was fairly simple. His hometown wasn't too big, but it wasn't small. His parents were very supportive. There was enough to do. He had friends, not a lot but a few close ones. He never really knew what it was like to struggle. His biggest issues were high school girlfriends. When the time came to go to college he knew he had to get out. He had to go somewhere bigger, somewhere with limitless possibilities. College kept him busy, but now he's ready to see what the city is really all about. He's ready to take on the challenge of life in the Windy City, but first he has to find a job.

Other: A little off beat, but I hope it fits!
