Wow....
I took a few Liberties, X, I hope that's OK.
No worries :)
What should I do in terms of relationships for my character?
Just message the other players and discuss with them how you think your character will get along with theirs.

Also, it was a bit unclear where we're meeting, At Paul's grave, or inside the church?
We don't necessarily need to meet right away! You can go about your day before having to meet up with anyone else, its entirely up to you.
Would it be just the stars? I was wondering if Ali could bring her son.
Yeah she can bring her son in!
No worries guys, take your time. We're in no rush.
2006
Paul rested the case on the park bench and began to unhook the latches when he noted a distinct absence from his group of friends. Turning he saw his little brother walking off. “Eli? Where you going little man?” He called after him. Eli turned and smiled at his older brother as Jenna sat on the bench next to him. “Unlike you lot I’ve got stuff do in the morning” Paul looked to his girlfriend, his friends and then back to his blood. “At least stay for one song right? Home can wait a few more minutes” Pulling his guitar from the big black case, Paul began to strum in tune.
Someday
As always Paul and everyone around became immersed in the song, Jenna looked on lovingly, consumed by an undying first love for her beau. Ali and Liam sat at the back on the swing set, deep in some philosophical conversation about the next party they would attend. Diante lying on the grass looking up at the fading blue/red sky, bag of weed in in his closed fist. The twins James and Thomas speaking in twin speak as Angel watched them from afar.. Everything was right and quiet in that moment. The world, its troubles and everything melted away, that was the magic inside Paul. He made everything better. A small smile crossed Eli’s lips, the setting sun sparkling in his intense blue eyes. “See you Paul”
He spoke softly, the camera span from his face and did a go around of the park, each piece of park equipment fading and decaying over time, Paul and the gang vanish, to be replaced by an emptiness as the camera comes full circle on Eli again, now twenty six years old.
10 years later….
Theme Song: City and Colour - Friends
“Hi, my name’s Nick Dempsey. Ten years ago, I arrived in Thornhill, Philadelphia to make a movie. My movie soon turned into a series and that series evolved into Nowhere. In Nowhere we followed some unique individuals for a year of their lives and during that time we experience so many amazing things. We rediscovered as a unit what it was like to be a kid in 21st century small town USA. Now we’re back to see what life is like as an adult in 21st century small town USA. No glitz, no glamour, everything is real, true and astounding”

His iphone was vibrating to no end. Even after months of working together, none of his business partners had taken the hint that Eli would not answer his phone before 9am, he always had something more important to do during that time. Besides, it was a Sunday, technically this was a day of rest; that shit was in the bible. Placing his hands in his pockets, the light eyed man took some steps away from the park when the heavens opened and the rain started. This was far from unusual in Thornhill, very rare was the day at the sun appeared from behind those dim grey skies. Every street held a memory, one summer of love, laughs, heartbreak and everything in-between. A magical year caught on video for the world to see. Eli had done everything in the intervening ten years to get past what once was, he had all but succeeded.
The walk to the church from the park was not a long one, a direct path along the train tracks made the journey about five minutes. He hopped the fence in one movement, gracefully landing in a pool of mud, his once clean converse shoes now covered in brown mess. Eli moved onto the path, the grave sat near enough alone on a small rise of grass. It had been ten years since Paul passed away. It was cruel twist of irony, fate, circumstance or chance, whatever it was you believed in really. Two weeks, that’s all he had. Two weeks after that documentary was released Paul was set to be the biggest star of them all, handsome, charismatic, he would’ve been so loved. The driver of that car stole all of what was to come from him. He has stolen his life and Eli’s innocence.
Today was the anniversary.

Biography:
Then:
Nicholas Dempsey was born in Raleigh, North Carolina thirty odd years ago. His parents owned a small movie theatre which was a popular destination for many of the kids of the city. It was in these moments, somewhere in the darkness of those rooms that Nick’s life-long fascination with movies and the human condition would surface. He would sit for hours watching the films on screen and the people in the crowd, doing everything he could to understand them, building stories for them all in his head.
As he matured, Nick soon set his sights on becoming a film-maker. After graduating high school he went to UCLA to study film and the hopes of breaking Hollywood. Whilst still at college, Nick’s roommate decided he wanted to go home for the weekend to a place called Thornhill in Philadelphia. With nothing to do, Nick decided to tag along and almost immediately enamoured by the small town and its people. Inspired by his trip, Nick drew up the idea for a documentary series about life and growing up in a nowhere town like Thornhill. Returning upon his graduation, Nick began filming on a zero dollar budget and with little help from the unaccepting town.
The result of his endeavour was “Nowhere” which he premiered at Sundance to rave and controversial reviews. Regardless, he had become a star.
Between:
With his name now known across the country, Nick followed up “Nowhere” with a few more documentaries before finally graduating to full on movies just as he had always dreamed. After ten years at the top of Hollywood’s young directors lists, Nick had become disenchanted. Everything was a reboot or a remake. Movies now were loud and crass and lacking in something unique. Sitting in his home theatre, Nick made the decision that he wanted his next project to be a quiet voice, one that would cut through all the noise and show the true heart in filmmaking. Discovering the original cut of “Nowhere” in an un opened box, the young director decided that if he went somewhere else, he would be able to find the magic that was missing.
After tracking down some of his former friends, Nick decided to return to Thornhill for a follow up series.
Now:
Nick is now in Thornhill and preparing to film “Somewhere” in the hopes that in this magical town, he will be able to recapture the essence of what came before and build on it to creature something spectacular.

Should an IC and a CS for Nick up today guys!
<Snipped quote by Xtreme>
I can't wait to get one or more people and then begin!
An IC will definitely be started this weekend but the rp will remain open to new players as we go along as with our format, I think its pretty easy to incorporate new people.
I'm slowly making progress on my guy, going with the more quiet and reserved type of person. If all goes well, should be done by friday at the latest.
Looking forward to it!
Question guys: even though he's NPC would you want to see a CS for Nick too or do you think we could get away without having one?
