Melanie

9:30AM

She smiled to herself as she clicked the orange sign out button on her screen. 'MelBelle has successfully signed out' greeted her pale green gaze before she comfortably clicked the little red x and powered off her monitor. Untangling herself from her sheets, she peeled them back from the over sized mattress that dominated the space that was her bedroom. Sunday meant house chores but, once that was over it also meant shopping. Melanie loved shopping.

With her arms filled with sheets and pillow cases, she opened the bedroom door with her foot, dropping the mass of linens onto the floor in the small hallway. Immediately, the chilled air from the AC caused goosebumps to ripple over her naked flesh. 'Damn. Has my AC always worked this well?' Rubbing her palms up her arms, she pulled open the closet door for the laundry center, deciding that the hot water of the shower was going to be more necessary this morning. As quickly as she could manage, she punched the buttons, turned the dials and poured the detergent until her sheets were safely on their way to becoming cleansed again.

Darting into the bathroom across the hall, she flicked on the switch and reached into the shower until the water was running full force and warming up. Almost autonomously, she seated herself on the porcelain to relieve her bladder, sighing as she did so. 'Good God! I haven't even had anything to drink today!' Blotting herself off and closing the lid, she resolved to flush after she'd had her fill of the hot, steamy goodness along her skin.

She hopped into the shower and methodically washed her skin, choosing the strawberry scented wash today among the apricot and coconut options it sat next to. She was oddly grateful that she still had the apartment to herself though, she was definitely starting to feel the strain financially with bills. 'Having roommates really couldn't be that bad, could it? Though... Where will I put all my lovely bottles in the bathroom if I have to share the space?' She idly matched her shampoo to her body wash and let all the suds find their way down the drain before lathering her hair with a neutral scented, color lasting conditioner. Out of practice, she braided her hair down her back and reached for the clip on the curtain to pin it up atop her head. Water off, she pulled the towel off from the shower rod and unceremoniously dried off her body.

Sliding the curtain open was always her least favorite part. Melanie groaned in preparation before ripping it back with a loud whoosh.

Once again, her skin resembled that of a freshly plucked chicken and she grumbled under her breath. She flushed the toilet and reached for the cabinet above it. Several bottles greeted her gaze and she found an odd comfort as she picked five from the collection. Moving to the sink, she lined them up in her preferred order and began applying them to her body. One for face only, one for the parts of her body where hair unfortunately grew, one for her most intimate parts, and the last two for absolutely everything. Despite the tedious process and amount of layers she'd just rubbed into her flesh, the process always left Melanie feeling refreshed. Clean.

Returning the bottles carefully to their shelf, she completed her morning routine; brushing her teeth, washing out the conditioner and leaving her hair to air dry while she adorned her face with a sharp line of eye liner and a bold red lipstick. She quickly tiptoed across the hall back into her room and picked out her clothes for the day, deciding on a cropped white shirt with her favorite pair of black shorts. Melanie squealed lightly to herself, glad that the shorts had survived the summer week and, despite it being laundry day, she'd get to wear them. As she tugged them on, her stomach growled and she grimaced. With new motivation, she grabbed her over-sized plaid shirt off of the hooks behind her door and threw on the closest pair of flip flops before heading out her bedroom and out the apartment. Cautiously, she double checked that her keys were in her bag before locking her door behind her.

Her chores would still be there when she got back from eating, right? It's not like someone else wanted to wash her clothes for her. 'Pfft. I wish,' she silently thought to herself, heading out of the apartment building and to 'The Queens Orchid' for a massive waffle and the tallest coffee she could afford.

Celestial Bonds: The Fateful Few

I'm actually going to remove my interest from this RP. I wasn't able to get my preferred partner interested and kind of lost my interest.

I'm sorry guys. Best of luck!

<Snipped quote by lovely complex>
@Zordon Athinar (Anthony Noll) is still in but he has to be away for awhile and will be returning when able so placing a new character related to Anthony probably isnt the best idea at the moment. Haha

@The Muse

I mostly meant that I was doing research on who she'd be closest to. Haha.

Also, now that I have your approval: I have posted Melanie in the characters tab.

Melanie Wyatt

Melanie Wyatt

10/31/1992 | Currently: 23

Appearance

Melanie stands an average 5'6" and sports a slender, feminine frame of a meager 117 lbs. Her complexion is milky white and she favors keeping her mid-back length locks a vibrant look-at-me red. Her eyes are a light shade of blue/green, the prominent color depending on the lighting at the time. She has two visible piercings; one on her right nostril and the other on the center of her bottom lip. She favors doing her makeup in ways that can be considered 'pinup'; a smokey eye or a bold red lip but rarely ever both at the same time.

Her fashion sense varies and despite the boldness of her hair and makeup, she favors neutral colors such as white, grey and black. It is rare to find her in skirts or dresses, though some of the shirts she pairs with her jeans can be considered quite feminine. She is obsessed with her skin care routine and often keeps her nails trimmed and painted in a lacquer black.

Position
New Resident. Apartment 2B.

Secret
♫ Better lock it in your pocket, 'm taking this one to the grave ♪

School
Milington University. Film Production Major. Year 2.

Occupation
Student

Personality
Melanie can be described as an introvert in her day to day life. However, she is by no means weary of being social. She can be very vocal in her classes and in things that she carries a strong opinion towards. She is hesitantly friendly, desiring companionship but not knowing who she can truly trust. Because of this, she will rarely let herself enter one on one social interactions with others, preferring to limit it to class projects or idle group chit chat. Melanie is happiest locked in the solidarity of her bedroom.

Short Bio

It's kind of dark in here...

Melanie is the only child to Julia and David Wyatt, an east coast couple who was blessed with a child well into their older years making them surprisingly elder and in unfortunately poor health. Miraculously, Melanie was born with no health issues or birth defects, despite the concerns of her mothers doctor.

It is a well known fact that Melanie is the survivor of rape, having been kidnapped on her 18th birthday and missing for 12 days before police were able to find her. For nearly two weeks, Melanie was bound and taken advantage of on camera being cast over the internet in some sort of black market. The highest bidder got to dictate what would happen to her next. 288 Hours of Torture.

She suffered through the paperwork, the press, the gossip and the sideways glances for the remainder of her senior year of high school. She was also forced to endure therapy, which mother had insisted on. It should be noted that her therapist saw no indication that Melanie suffered any PTSD and seemed to take the horrid experience in stride. Following graduation, Melanie took the following 2 years off to build up funds for her parents, whom had fallen terribly ill and were in need of expensive medications not covered by insurance.

David Wyatt had come down with an intense strand of the flu during this time that his brittle body could not handle and passed on August 8th, 2012. Julias medical condition degraded as steadily as her emotional condition. Melanie had no choice but to submit her to hospice care while she tended to the funeral of her father. He'd been cremated.

Melanie decided to enroll at Millington per her mothers suggestion. Her medical state was improving and though she missed her husband, could be found smiling most days. Melanie was weary about moving west at first but, Millington was a reputable school and her mother was right, she certainly did have a natural talent with the camera.

Mother is always right.

Anna Louise Parkes

Annie

05/07/1990 | Taurus | Currently: 26

Appearance

Anna, or Annie, is quite short at a tiny 5'2" but makes it up for it with her plump figure and a weight that she refuses to disclose. Her eyes are a dark oak brown except in certain lighting when they can appear nearly hazel. Her hair is also a shade of dark brown nearing almost black. She is slightly fair skinned, though she tends to tan easily during the summer. Annie like to wear over-sized shirts to hide her belly as best as possible. Her breasts, hips and bum are larger than she cares for.

Position
Student living on campus. Dorm C-1.

Secret
What? I, erm, don't know what you're talking about?

School
Millington University (Freshman). Studying Culinary with a focus on Pastry Arts.

Occupation
Unemployed (looking to apply at the Queens Orchid and the subsequent other dining options in town if turned down, but she would really prefer the diner!)

Personality
Annie is a complex person. On the surface, she seems quiet, reserved and extremely kind. On the inside, it is mostly the same though she can be much more bubbly and outgoing with a select few friends that she has. She can be described as a 'foodie' and will sometimes ramble on if the topic of food comes up. While she may not be super talkative, much of what she says portrays that she is quite intelligent, even witty. Inexplicably, she has moments where she comes off as incredibly timid and nervous.

Short Bio
Anna did not necessarily have a tough life growing up. Unless you count that her parents were never around. In fact, at the ripe age of 6 months old, her paternal grandmother was granted custody of her. Anna doesn't know the specifics of the story but, she imagines that it hadn't been difficult to convince her parents. After all, they were both 18 at the time of her birth.

Growing up, she never saw them except for birthdays and holidays where they would arrive with gifts in their arms and smiles on their faces. Buying her love. It wasn't as if they were incapable of being a part of her life. They lived in the same city; sometimes as close as only a few blocks away.

But, they had split. And each had families of their own; siblings that got her parents attention instead of her - despite being their first born.

She was not without her resilience and her grandparents had raised her well, teaching her to focus on her education and be the first of their family to not only graduate high school (a feat that had been achieved by her aunt) but to also go to college and obtain a degree. Immediately after her high school graduation, Anna attended a private college for a year, then a technical college, and then a trade school. She had no degree to show for them. Life was not kind to her and something always came up to make her stop attending.

Her family was disappointed and while she was still living at home, they would make her help out in other ways. Each request laced with an underlying tone of "you have failed us all". It was a difficult pill to swallow each day.

Anna found her comfort in food when sad, upset, angry, happy or bored. Basically, she just found food. And life was better. Dying to get out of her home and unable to bear anymore thinly veiled ridicule from her family, she began to research school far from her eastern home.

She discovered Millington and fell in love with the small town feel the pictures exuded online. She imagined that in the best case its inhabitants would feel like a tight knit family and worst case? Well, hopefully there wouldn't be a lot of people she'd have to avoid. She applied and despite her already growing student loan debt, was accepted and scheduled to begin her classes in the fall.

Due to a lucky timing with vacancy in the dorms, she has come to move in during the summer session.

@Bourgeoisie

Perfect, because I'm sculpting my dirty little secret and having quite a bit of fun.

Edit: I was debating on placing my character with Anthony Noll but wanted to read up on the character first. unfortunately can't find anything? I found him in the NPC references but, it only mentions his mother.

Summer Secrets - Closed

I'd like to squeeze a character into this world, as long as that's alright.

I'm looking for a partner and I'll be creating a mage, if you're still accepting.
