Just Your Average Interest Check

Hello and welcome to the Not-so-Average Average Interest Check! I am Average, but I'm not average. Confused yet? I am. But, then again, you'll find that I'm confused ninety percent of the time. Anyway, this is my 1x1 Interest Check, so welcome to it and thank you for reading so far. As you can probably already tell, I get distracted pretty easily, so if I go off-topic at any point, I apologise in advance.

I am an eighteen-year-old student from Scotland, and I have been roleplaying for a good six years or so. I would consider myself as being a fairly open person, but I am not a people-pleaser (meaning that I most likely will not go out on a limb to impress my partner, and nor will I flatter you to the point of kissing your ass. Sorrynotsorry.). That brings me nicely onto my next little point: I swear like a sailor. It's pretty unladylike, and at times it can be inappropriate, but most of the time I cuss to lighten the mood - I'm not ashamed of it, because most people do like a good swear every once in a while, I'm just forewarning anyone that's sensitive to the F-word or whatever that I'm not a stranger to using them.

I would say that I'm a high-casual to advanced roleplayer - my average post tends to consist of four to five non-speech paragraphs. I am not a huge fan of intense plot development OOC, and I find that I much prefer diving straight into the writing once setting and characters have been established. When it comes to characters themselves, I'm open to playing any type as long as they are realistic and in-depth, and I expect the same from you. One of my biggest pet peeves is someone wanting to roleplay, yet starting off with 'I only play female characters and yours have to be male'. Yes, I understand that it is often a comfort thing, but please don't give me restrictions when it comes to my characters. I will most likely tell you to p*ss off. Politely, of course.

ⓡⓤⓛⓔⓢ

Now, I know most people skip this bit so I'll try to keep it short and sweet. I'm requesting that no one posts in this thread just for the sake of neatness. If you do post below, there is pretty much no chance of my roleplaying with you. Not only because I probably won't see your reply, but also because you've either not taken the time to fully read this, or you've just decided to ignore me completely.

Please don't expect me to be super-duper happy all the time. Sometimes I'll be enthusiastic about writing and super eager to share my ideas, but other times I'll have little to no motivation to write. In addition to that, please respect the fact that I have a life outside of the Guild - I am a part-time swimming coach and full-time student; my replies may be slightly slower than average, but I will make sure to let you know if I will be absent for any extended period of time.

I am not overly obsessive about the age of my partner, as long as you are 18 or over if you're interested in exploring mature themes. I myself have pretty much no limits, excluding the obvious like rape and weird stuff like incest, as long as it contributes to the plot. I love exploring darker aspects of writing, but I have no problem with my partner not being comfortable with stuff like that.

I shall conclude with my last, and most important rule: communication. If you are not comfortable with something, if you are losing interest, or if something I said doesn't sit well with you, tell me. There have been countless occasions in which I have roleplayed quite well with someone, and then they just dropped off of the edge of the earth. Even worse, I've had partners that completely cut off communication with me but remained active around the site I had been roleplaying on. Don't do it.

Jesus, that's a lot of writing. Here, I'll show you a gif from one of my favourite episodes of TV in general...I'm not even a huge Doctor Who fan, I just found this particular episode beautiful and, embarrassingly enough, I cried my eyes out:

_{It's the episode named 'Vincent and the Doctor' if you want to check it out}

ⓖⓔⓝⓡⓔⓢ

Now that you've seen that, let's talk about genres! Below, I have compiled a list of genres that I like. Of course, as I have mentioned before, I am open to anything, really. So hit me up even if you have something in mind that's not on the list. The only thing I'm not fond of is sci-fi; I find it boring, and too complicated for my tastes.

- Survival; something that I have not had a chance to properly explore yet. Whether our characters are stuck on a desert island, or it's the post-apocalyptic type, I'm up for it.

- Fantasy; particularly historical fantasy, I have a few ideas regarding this genre - so hit me up about those.

- Romance; I am a big fan of romance as long as it happens naturally. When it's forced, or our characters have no chemistry, I'm just not interested. However, if you're wanting to purposefully play the awkward relationship-thing, like through an arranged marriage or something, then that's cool.

- Crime; this is more of a sub-genre for me, but it is certainly something that has caught my eye recently.

- Slice of Life; not something I would typically go for - but it has the potential for a good story, I think. You'd have to really convince me with this genre, but I'll give it a shot.

ⓕⓐⓝⓓⓞⓜⓢ

I'm going to say this right from the start: I am crap at playing canon characters. I much prefer to focus on the world of the fandom rather than the characters themselves. However, there are a few fandoms that I am not typically against playing canon characters in, which I will highlight in blue.

- A Song of Ice and Fire / Game of Thrones; I am not 100% up-to-date with the books, but I am a huge fan of the television show.

- The Great Gatsby; on a broader scale for those not familiar with the movie or book, 1920's America. It is a world that I would love to write about.

- Gosspit Girl; go ahead and judge me, but you’re lying if you’ve never wished you could be an upper east-sider who’s life If full of parties and gossip sites and glorious drama.

- Shameless; this is the kind of slice-of-life I would love. Also it's the US version I'm referring to, not the British one. _{one of the very few TV shows in which the US version is better}

- Mad Max; a fantastic post-apocalyptic setting, I think, and there is a wide range of directions that the roleplay could go in with this fandom.

- Legend; to be perfectly honest, I’m not that interested in the plot of this movie or what actually happened in real life events, I just want someone to play Tom Hardy as a mob boss with my character xD

This is still a work in progress, hence the reason why it's a hot mess, but I wanted to post it now before the end of the day. If you're already interested, PM me any ideas or whatever... Thanks for reading!

Clarke Jenson

"Who?"

---

---

"Whats the point in even being here if you don't at least try to do something remarkable?"

---

---

║ Name ║

Clarke Marie Jenson

║ Birthday & Age ║

August the 8th, 16 years old

║ Gender & Sexual Orientation ║

Female, Hererosexual

║ Occupation ║

pretty much unemployed, but she writes a somewhat popular blog, basically an anonymous diary of sorts.

║ Appearance ║

Clarke isn't typically pretty like most of the girls at school - the one word that would be used to describe her is striking. She stands at roughly 5'5", although she'll insist it's 5'6", with a somewhat-curvy-somewhat-athletic figure. She isn't paper thin, but neither is she obese. Yeah, real specific. Clarke is a healthy weight, and that's all that can be said - the rest is up to you.

The first thing you'll probably notice about Clarke is her hair. Good thing, too, because it's the one thing about herself that she's actually proud of. A mass of thick, dark curls reaches her mid-lower back and pretty much has the volume you see in the ads. Y'know, the ones with the flawless girl's winking at the TV? Yep, those ones. It's rare to see her hair up - instead it's left to do it's thing. Truth be told, it's a mess most of the time, but it's a hot mess.

She has very prominent features - icy blue eyes, a sloped nose and flat lips. She wears minimal makeup, but is no stranger to black eyeliner or a dark lip every now and again. She's in no way gorgeous, but she's been blessed to have a collection of complementary, eye-catching features that certainly stand out from the crowd. If you were to get to know Clarke, it would be easy to say that her looks fit her persona to a T, and it's practically impossible to imagine her any other way.

Her style is basically just a wardrobe of black. She's not an emo or a goth, at least she hopes so, but she definetely prefers the darker side of clothing instead of the vibrancy associated with spring and summer. She's not quite cold enough to be winter, no, she's a solid autumn girl.

"There's an art to life's distractions
To somehow escape the burning weight
The art of scraping through
Some like to imagine
The dark caress of someone else; I guess any thrill will do"

║ Personality ║

The Positive:

• Ambitious
• Innovative
• Compassionate

The Negative:

• Distrusting
• Stubborn
• Apathetic

What You See:
The first words that come to mind when people think of Clarke tend to be 'blunt ass bitch'. And that pretty much sums up her outer character perfectly. Upon first meeting her, you will most likely find just a walking shitload of sarcasm, honesty and swearing. Truth be told, however, is that not many people actually know who she is. She has mastered the art of blending in, resulting in her commonly being referred to as 'that moody chick' that no one actually knows the name of.

That's not to say that she's entirely dislikable upon first impression, however, which is apparent in the handful of friends she actually has. I wouldn't call it charm, but Clarke has a certain aspect of charm to her that is somewhat attractive to others. She's hopeless at flirting for sure, but she isn't afraid to go up to someone and tell them that she thinks they're hot. Her bluntness, in a way, is one of her best and worst qualities. It can either put a smile on your face, or make you cry.

What I Know:
Actually getting to know Clarke is a different story. The truth is, she is far more vulnerable than she may appear. Cliché as it may seem, you will find a much warmer, and more fragile soul behind the seemingly impenetrable walls she presents. It's not as difficult to break down these barriers as it may seem, but few have experienced this side of her thanks to her ability to push people away. She's your textbook 'damaged' character, really, although she hates that. The softer side to her is unquestionably loyal, endearingly compassionate and far more open than she'd like most people to believe.

║ My Dreams ║

To travel with her camera - capturing everything good in the world. She's not a bad singer, either, so she might give that a go. Unfortunately, she's a believer in the fact that there's way too many singers in the world, and not enough artists.

║ Fears ║

• Tight spaces (claustrophobic)
• Spiders (ew)
• Looking weak (lil' bitch)

║ Likes ║

• Her camera; an impressively old Canon given to her by one of her brothers
• Parties; although she is rarely invited
• Wallflowers
• Piercings
• The colour black, of course
• the rain
• The Beach
• Coffee
• Smoking
• Sweet perfume

║ Dislikes ║

• 'Bubbly' people
• People-pleasers
• Her sister
• Orange
• Dancing. Nope.
• Tea
• The dark

║ Brief History ║

Clarke was the third child in an excessively large family. After her, came three others. That's six kids, in case you couldn't count. Her parents, Clover and Marcus Jenson, were never short on money, so bought a huge house and started popping out kids like there was no tomorrow. And, unfortunately, this resulted in a childhood of being forgotten for Clarke. She was the middle child and that's how it worked.

Clarke's older sister, Alexis, was the favourite child by far. She was two years older than Clarke, and an absolute star to everyone except her younger sister. She would dimple sweetly, flick her blonde curls, and get away with anything; while Clarke was the moody, dark-haired child that never quite fit in. In fact, her whole family were known for their gorgeous blonde hair, and then there was Clarke - literally the black sheep of the family.

When it came to school, Clarke fit in surprisingly well for the first few years. Being the sibling of Alexis Jenson was something that was not forgotten. She found herself to be on the popular side of the 'class' system, with plenty of friends and even a boyfriend after a while. However, at one of the many parties she had gone to, she lost her virginity at fifteen years old and, of course, everybody found out. There was a solid four, maybe five months of being relentlessly slut-shamed before everyone lost interest and moved on. Many would say that it was 'only teasing', but it hurt Clarke in a way that she would never allow to happen again.

Clarke then started coming into school wearing mostly black, telling everyone to piss off and focusing more on her photography. Her 'screw you' attitude has somewhat worn off in the past six months, and she has been mostly forgotten about - much to her relief.

║ Extra Curricular Activities & Sports ║

Former cheerleader
Film and Photography

║ Reputation ║

Some still know her as the slut, but the majority of the school population have no idea who she is any more. If you were to mention 'Alexis Jenson's sister', Clarke is positive that a scary amount of people would be convinced she had moved school.

║ Best subjects, Worst subjects ║

She doesn't really have bests and worsts, really. She's awful at maths (who isn't?), enjoys art, and excels at English. She's liked by the teachers a fair amount, however she isn't a stranger to being sent out of class every once in a while.

║ Extra information ║

- FC is Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor, aka Lorde

@lovely complex, @Universorum, @Silent Observer heyyy I've never really been part of a forum roleplay here before but I had to apply for this one- it looks so good. Hopefully she's okay <3
