Yep, but at the moment, it'll be male. He has two sides. When dressed as a girl, he has the confidence and wants to be "her". When he can't be confident enough, he doesn't like correcting people, so puts up with male pronouns.

So, as the title says, I'm craving a cute little role-play, focused around the adoption of my character Lily, by either a male or female character. This will not be incest. It will be dark at times, perhaps overly so.. But.. I know it's basic, but it is hard to define a plot without both characters worked out, IMO. Credit goes to my friend, Exmedic for drawing me Lily. [hider=Lily][Img] http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/ag118/SoulSamAndHisRailwayPhotography/Lily_zpsb76cdfa4.jpg[/img][/hider] Born on December the 24th 2002, Liam is the shy and quiet sort of chap, much preferring to be in the background and not intervene in things going on around them. This is primarily due to his lack of self-confidence, not helped by the fact he harbours a naturally shy nature, lacking any form of assertiveness at all. This is due to the fact the young child was often shifted from foster home to foster home, never really settling in anywhere for very long. With just one exception. Only one person ever did attempt to help and support Liam. Her name was Rosie, and at 25 years old, she had discovered she’d never bare any children of her own. The news broke her heart, and she no longer felt like she’d ever have a family. Untill she found Liam walking home from school one night, lost and alone, scared and hungry. She felt the need to help him and took the young child back to the orphanage, where an idea struck her. Become a foster mom. At the recommendation of a worker, Liam and Rosie were paired together, and all seemed happy. The woman was as loving and protective of Liam as a birth mother would be, and though she’d spoil him often, she brought him up to be a loving and respectful young man, with a big heart. She even managed to get him out of his shell in public situations, an accomplishment previously thought impossible by others. He’d been living with her for nearly two years, and permanent adoption was well underway. Unfortunately, just two days prior to the official verdict, the young woman was kidnapped before Liam’s eyes, causing him to become an emotional wreck for months afterwards, and nearly silent for the best part of 6 years, hardly uttering a word to anybody unless he needed to do so. Thankfully after this, Liam didn’t end up in abusive or neglectful homes, but none wanted to deal with what they saw as a troubled child. They didn’t understand he couldn’t attach himself to anybody, scared of losing them like he did Rosie. They thought he was cold, unloving. Dreadfully frightened of thunderstorms, he doesn't really like to be left alone during them, and will usually remain wide awake and terrified when alone, not able to sleep through the noise or the sudden bright lights. As such, Liam often remains awake all night, crying in fear and a need to be back with the mother who loved him. Liam wants to be known, and identify as Lily-Rose, knowing he was born into the wrong body. To Liam, he is, and should be a female, not a male. Caught when trying on the dress of a foster sister, he was sent straight back into care by the father of the family, a strongly religious sort of person. Unfortunately for Lily, this news got out fast. Now the centre of ridicule and bulling both in school, and in the safe house, he has been forced to act like Liam once more, much to her dismay. All she wants is to be who she truly is, and to have Rosie back, the only person she ever called “Mom”. ___ Limping up the almost empty rain soaked streets, Liam wiped away the tears from his face, ensuring no more blood remained under or around his mouth in the process. He'd been set upon by a pair of classmates on his way home from school, in an attempt to "get rid of the gay!", as they put it. He knew he looked a mess, shirt torn and splattered with mud and his own blood, a tooth knocked out. His nose had been bleeding, and his glasses broken, leaving a cut in his nose. It hurt to put too much weight on his ankle, and he was almost positive he'd dislocated it...but he couldn't face up to the reason WHY he’d been attacked, feeling too ashamed to do so. Earlier that day hadn't gone too well either, with Liam making a fool of himself in front of his class.. /"Being born into the wrong body can be one of the worst things a person may ever have to face. Physically or emotionally. The struggle to accept yourself, and thereafter to be accepted by others. The hate faced by others towards you, just because you want to be who you truly are within. The comments, the spiteful behaviour, the kicks. The punches. Who you feel you are. Who you have the right to be. You all get to have that human right. But I don't. Because wanting to be a woman? That's "wrong" in your eyes. "Disgusting", "Evil"..." Shaking with emotion, Liam's tear-filled eyes had run back over the words on the paper in his hands as the words passed his lips, hoping that someone... /Anyone/ would take the words he spoke and think again about the actions they undertook. The words they spoke. But he doubted it. "You deserved it. I'm glad it happened to you!" A voice, deep and rough, had broken through Liam's speech, drawing attention to the newest speaker. "Freaks like you deserve it! Too bad you weren't killed!" A few cheers had greeted this acclimation, mingling with a few "Yeah!"s or "FREAK!" With that, Liam had ran from the classroom as fast as he could, looking to hide underneath the bleachers, where it was quiet. The rain had continued to thunder down upon him, drenching him, but he no longer cared./ He needed help now, from anybody. Spotting a small, local store, he took a deep breath and entered it. He’d heard some students talking about it, saying the staff were always professional and kind to them when they went into there, but he didn't know that, really.. He knew it was probably just them being kind to make more money, but… Maybe someone.. staff, patron, passer-by.. would help him. “Help me..” Liam’s voice was soft and frightened, the footsteps of his assailants coming behind him, knowing full well that they had followed him up there. People were in here, so maybe they’d leave him be…

I actually like the idea of a sort of forest hideout. Hanging around the campfire at night, going camping on occasion, exploring together, finding little treasures and the like as they do..

Name: Arthur Age: 18 Sex: Male Gender: Female His” name is Arthur, and he is 18 years of age. Bubbly and cheerful in nature, he is a loving and friendly young man, who lives with his older sibling. He adores and loves them with all his heart, and will do anything he can to make them proud of him, not wanting to let them down after they have been so good to him for so very, very long. He always knew he was different to most boys when growing up. He hated sports and the rough and tumble games that most males played, much preferring playing with the girls and their dolls. When it came to dress up play, he didn't want to be a firefighter or a policeman, or in the army, he wanted to be a pretty princess, or a fairy, or a nurse. As he grew older, he never seemed to "grow out of the phase", much to the disgust of his highly religious and old-fashioned mother and father, who followed the "men should be men" and "women should stay at home" train of thought. As a result of this, he was disowned at the age of eleven by them, and put into care.... But.. This proved to be the best thing that ever happened to him. He ended up in the care of his older sibling after they rediscovered him, know wanting to be known as her/”Ruth”. They were more than accepting of his crossdressing tendencies, and his want to eventually identify as female. They bought him dresses, skirts, make-up, etc, and made him feel loved and accepted. No image for Ruth/Arthur. ____ Arthur stood apprehensively in front of the new school he was due to attend, turning to face his older sister as he bit nervously on his lip, causing it to bleed slightly, though this stopped as soon as he ran his tongue across the cut, swearing under his breath. "Sis? I really don't want to go..." Looking down, the brunette glanced back up at the older of the two siblings, eyes... sad and nervous. He was dressed in baggy jeans, off-white sneakers and a slightly over sized black and red checked shirt, open over a blue t-shirt, a Superman logo on the chest. These were among the only masculine clothes he'd wear, and even then, it was rare he did so. See, Arthur wanted to be known as "Ruth". He wanted to dress as, act like... be a girl! Not a boy. He hated his gender. He hated having to be masculine around strangers. He wanted to be feminine. To wear skirts or dresses, pretty shoes and make-up, to be as pretty and as close to a girl as he possibly could, pre-transition... But.. He didn't have the confidence to be like this around anybody but his sister. ___ I am mainly looking for three possible characters, though am happy to double up and accept one player, with us using two characters each. Obviously, I am looking for someone to play Arthur/Ruth's older sister. I do not care what their personality, etc, is like. All that matters is that they love and care for their sibling. Next, I'd like someone to play a new friend for Arthur. Again, personality doesn't matter. Nor does gender, social standing, and so on. I personally love the idea of a "popular" guy/girl falling from grace, (perhaps s/he bullies Arthur at first), and the two finding the good in each other, making friends that way. Arthur likes both genders, so romance is fine, but must me drawn out. Lastly, depending on what the person playing the sister likes/wants, a best friend/partner/wife/husband/whatever for her. That is up to them, though. Two line minimum, please be literate. Posts will be taken in turns. I.E: Me, The sister, the best friend, the 4th character, and repeat. Thanks. Plot will depend on characters, etc. We can create a plot together, as I feel brainstorming things like this work better. I'd like a writing sample, like I have attached to mine, and a character before we discuss plots, with these things transferring to the actual RP at some point.

If you have an RP you want someone for, feel free to ask me. I play BOTH genders. I have my own plots/characters too. So, going to sum it up.. I am a Slice of Life writer, with a primary focus upon characters whom are not often seen in role-plays, from my experience. (Characters whom may be, say.. Blind, or mute, or deaf. They may be trans-gendered or identify as no gender. They could have learning difficulties/disabilities, or be wheelchair bound. So on and so forth, you get the drift.) I only really write with others capable of providing a 4 line minimum, and my main focus tends to be upon simple friend or family bonds, less so on the romance front. (Though, apparently, only romance exists as far as MOST slice-of-life writers are concerned. So...) But, yes. Effectively: Looking for LITERATE writers. Ones whom are happy to not do romantic plots. People happy to write with characters whom may, or may not, fit in the "Perfect Percy" or "Irresistible Ivy" cliché that most people seem to want from roleplays. Yes, my guys might be prone to tears when upset or frustrated. My girls may be rude and snarky, and more tomboyish then pretty, giggly types. Yes, they may not be able to walk, or talk, or see. But why shouldn't they be allowed to get a roleplay or two focusing on them? -Sam

We'll have to confirm with DSW if using his character's apartment would be accepted. It works, but..

That works. What if Morrigan's apartment was the meeting point?

As Lily will be unconscious for a while, I'll come back in later. So, DSW is next, then it'd be me. HOWEVER, I feel it'd be best to give her more to react to if she woke surrounded by people/in hospital/in her own room, in her cousin's apartment, whatever you want. So... I'll skip a turn, then post when it would be mine usually.

All accepted.

I'm waiting for you to shift it over to the character tab before I accept it.
