[OOC] It's An Awful Life: A Complex Family Reunion Roleplay

[GoddessSophia]

@Undine I'd like to reserve 19-21

Wow. Those family spots filled up fast. Anyway, I think the character I have in mind may be better suited as a +1. A struggling artist who's never had a "real" job her entire life. No doubt the family, or many of them at least, would see her as some kind of gold-digger. Whether or not she actually is, I'm not saying yet.

So...Anyone want to be a sugar daddy?

[WilsonTurner]

@HalfOfLancelot
Same guy from the previous [failed] roleplay- Jamison. I just need to make one or two edits to fit this roleplay, so he can be dragged along.

[GoddessSophia]

@Avanhelsing Hey, Just letting you know I am making Mari a bit younger than the last rp. So she'll be 20-21

Also I've been thinking off a few ideas of ways that she and Peter met. Feel free to toss around some ideas too, if you had any.

• They knew each other since they were kids. Or depending on age, he could be one of her brother's friends-so she knew him from one of her older siblings. Kind of a forbidden to be with each other scenario maybe
• Meet in school/highschool and been with each other since then.
• Meeting through a mutual friend...or job...or something else?

[Avanhelsing]

@GoddessSophia
That's fine. I was going to make Pete however old you were going to make Mari.



I like either of the first two options. You can choose whichever one you want. Pete can be placed just about anywhere.

[GoddessSophia]

@Avanhelsing You sure? You can make Pete bit older if you'd like. I don't mind.

I think I like the second one for those two.

[Avanhelsing]

@GoddessSophia
I usually like the ages to match. So it is fine. I will say Pete is 21.

Basic ideas for Pete:
Sort of gruff but a nice guy.
Way over his head since Mari is much higher class than he is.
Grins and bears life's hardships for the people he cares for.

I am going to make Pete first since my twin needs the other twin to be made first.

Oh how long do you think they should know each other?

@Undine@HalfOfLancelot Okay, CS done, still working on relations

Tatiana Carrington

Tatiana Carrington

"I beg you take courage; the brave soul can mend even disaster."
-Catherine The Great

---

Name

Tatiana Lobov Korvo Carrington

Nickname

Solovey - It means nightingale in Russian, was given to her as a small child by a local poet. She adores the nickname.

Age

28-30

Gender

Female

Occupation

Tattoo Artist

Sexual Orientation

Bisexual

Relationship Status

Technically single but that isn't what she tells her parents.

Appearance

Tatiana stands at around 5’4” in height and is beyond thin, seemingly undernourished in her appearance at times even though she is very athletic and strong for her size. Her pale skin seems to bring out the lines of bones and the brightness of her emerald eyes. She has naturally brown hair but she keeps it either bleached blonde or dyed vibrant red. The cut of her hair varies, one year it may be down her back, the next she will show up with it all cut off in a pixie cut. One never knows. Currently it is just passed her shoulders, layered and crimson in color.

Tatiana tends to wear an odd cross of 50’s rocker and bohemian. Worn jeans, spike heeled boots, corsets one minute; the next she will be in a flowing skirt you would think a flower child of the 70’s would wear with far too many layers of tank tops and t-shirts over it. Whatever strikes her fancy at the moment. With the colder weather she will usually be seen loose sweaters with wide open neck lines, soft leggings and the ugliest uggs she can get ahold of, as well as a fur lined trapper hat.

For a tattoo artist one may think she is covered head to toe in ink but she only has one piece to date but it is a large piece that took years to have completed. Spanning the width of her shoulders is a single nightingale that is flying over a decaying city; the tattoo itself looks like it would be seen on an ink blot test.

"I may be a Korvo but I am still a Carrington!"

Personality

Tatiana can be a very quiet individual much of the time and can come off as shy to those that don’t know her but when push comes to shove she is usually the first to snap on someone and give a very boisterous opinion that can tend to create a scene. This side of her usually comes out when she sees someone she cares about being put down or judged.

She is very guarded of her heart and her past, not wanting to open up about either of them unless she fully trusts someone, which is a rarity in and of itself. Much of the time she will feign not understanding the English language, even though she has mastered the language, just to avoid having to deal with people if she feels like it.

History

Tatiana was born in Russian during the tail end of U.S.S.R. and was forced from Kirov to many other places in Eastern Europe throughout childhood as a refugee. During this time of hardship she began drawing as a piece of paper and left over burned wood was one of the few things she could carry around. This continued for years and put her through the hardest years of her life, ones she does not speak of but when mentioned one can clearly see there is pain behind her vibrant eyes.

At her tenth year her family was killed in a skirmish and she was the only one to survive. The Carringtons were for some reason touring the local orphanages and took notice of Tatiana as she played and tended to the younger children. They liked her personality and thought she would make a fine playmate for their children. She was quickly adopted and thrown into the life of the Carringtons.

This life was nothing she had ever known and while her newly adopted parents did not pay attention to her much she wanted for nothing. She quickly grew to love her siblings and took care of them in any way she could, though she feels like she gets the cold shoulder from some. She isn't a true Carrington after all.

She studied ballet and excelled at it until an injury caused her to put away dreams of becoming a Prima. Since then she has focused on her art, eventually leaving home and studying in New York. She fended for herself, not accepting anything from her adoptive parents once she moved out.

Taking a receptionist position at a local tattoo parlor to help pay her way led to a door opening into the world of skin art. She has done this since and travels the world working at various conventions. She stays in touch with her siblings, some more than others but has not spoken to her adoptive parents in years due to a fall out between her and them.

Education

After High School Tatiana attended Art School in New York city, she finished her bachelor's degree in fine arts with a minor in Russian; an easy task. She is currently working on her master degree through the universities online program so that she can still travel when not in New York City proper.

Favorite memory

Tatainas most treasured memory happened long before she became a Carrington. It was before the fall of the U.S.S.R. when her father took her to see her first ballet. She fell in love with the dance when her eyes fell onto the Prima.

Least favorite memory

Watching her parents die, it is something she refuses to speak about but it still haunts her dreams from time to time.

"I don't know Papa, I guess I am still trying to find myself."

Tatiana loves her adoptive father and respects him, he has done a lot by bringing her into the family. Yet she feels like a disappointment due to her injury keeping her from ever becoming a Prima. He wasn't exactly pleased when she chose to go to art school in New York and they had a falling out, she hasn't spoken to him since.

"Hey, if you think it is so easy, why don't you try prancing around like some show pony on your toes!"

Loath? Is that the right word? Tatiana cannot nor has ever been able to stand her adoptive mother and she will only play nice because of her father; that never lasts long. She feels that while she was lucky to be adopted that Cassiopeia needs to pay attention to her children instead of ignoring them. She refuses to call her mother and frequently snaps at the woman, calling her Cass instead of mom. She will sometimes call her mother but it is always seething with hatred.

[GoddessSophia]

@Avanhelsing I see...fair enough. I don't mind either way :)

He and Mari will sound like an interesting couple, since he's lower class...

Umm 5-6 years maybe? :)

[Avanhelsing]

@GoddessSophia
Roger that. I will have him done in a few hours.

They definitely will make for some drama which is so needed.

[GoddessSophia]

@Avanhelsing I'll work on my cs soon :)

Yeah totally...I mean she might be high class, model but she might not act so posh like the rest of them lol. Just the perks coming from such a family.

[GoddessSophia]

@Avanhelsing Oh where shall we have him and Mari live? state wise...etc?

[Avanhelsing]

@GoddessSophia
You choose. Maybe New York?

[GoddessSophia]

@Avanhelsing Mhh...New York sounds good...which probably makes them a bit closer than some though.

[Lady Absinthia]

Okay, updated previous post for relations with parents.

If anyone wants to get together with the "adopted sibling" and figure out how close they are, let me know, I'll be in chat. ^^

[HalfOfLancelot]

For anyone working on a CS or have completed one: the sheet didn't update when Miso put the ooc up, so make sure to take another look at it to put in your occupation and education in there!

And you might have to change the relationships with the parents depending. Apologies on not having the dad up yet. Miso won't have hers in a few days since she's working on her finals!

Which reminds me: if you see her posting in here, feel free to yell at her since she should be studying *cough cough*

[Lady Absinthia]

@HalfOfLancelotNow you tell me! Lmao

[Subject Zero]

Actually, scrap my last idea. I think I may want to reserve the youngest spot.

[Lady Absinthia]

@Undine@HalfOfLancelot Okay, updated and such.
