[OOC] Eden Gardens - Love Where You Live

[Knight of Doom]

This RPG is a slice of life about young adults living in the same apartment complex. It will be filled with lots of drama and romance. Taking place in a modern day American city named Hartford, Eden Gardens is an affordable but charming apartment. It’s popular with college students because it does not require a down payment and is located near Skyline University. However, if one pays their rent even a day late, they will be kicked out immediately. One thing about this living area is that the owner of the Eden Gardens has remained a secret. Several rumors circulate around the premises about the identity of said owner, but nothing has been confirmed. Some have even claimed that the owner lives in the apartment.

Hello, and welcome to this roleplay! I will be GMing this RP and @BlueAjah will be Co-GMing. We’re planning on having this be a low advanced/high casual level RP, so around two paragraph with good spelling and grammar. We also expect quality interactions, which means that not everyone will be in one place unless specified and most characters will interact frequently with others. In order to make this experience fun for everyone we would like for people to submit their character sheets via PM. That way we can have a more personal discussion about how a character can reach their full potential and what role they will play in the RP as a whole. Along with this CS we would like a sample writing of your character getting caught in the rain.

Rules:

Have fun! - There’s no point in roleplaying if everyone isn’t having a good time :) Try not to be too serious and just enjoy the drama that’s about to unfold
No Fighting - Please don’t fight; it’s as simple as that. Try to keep all drama within IC or take it to the PMS if necessary.
Keep it PG 13 - Do I even need to explain this? Once clothes start coming off, fade to black or take it to the PMS.
No Godmodding - This is obvious, please don’t do it. If you don’t want someone doing it to you, you shouldn’t do it to someone else. It’s fine if someone have given explicit permission to control their character, otherwise, just don’t it.
(If you have read all the rules, make sure to put your character’s spirit animal. Here is a quiz if you need help deciding)

In-Depth Appearance

Alex has very striking light blue eyes, they're usually the first thing people notice. That and his white/silvery hair. He likes having his hair long, but it bobby pins it out of the way when it gets in the way. His skin is fairly pale since he was always inside when he was young. His parents never liked being outdoors more than they had to. He is taller than most at 6'2", and sometimes he teases those who are shorter than him if he gets a good reaction out of them. He's fairly physically active because his sister drags him to the gym every once in a while. However, he does prefer to binge watch Netflix and play music, so no six packs. Sorry ladies. If it makes you feel any better he does have fairly big feet. Alex wears a large variety of clothing, but he has a good sense of fashion from being out in the public quite a bit. He on a casual day, he'll wear fairly classy clothing.

Habits and Quirks

• Frequently flips his hair
• Bounces his leg a lot, especially when he's bored
• Runs hand through hair

Likes

• Chocolate
• Music
• Playing Guitar

Dislikes

• Cleaning
• Homework
• Allergies

Biggest Fear

Alex's biggest fear is losing his sister. They've spent their entire life together through thick and thin, and he couldn't imagine his live without her. Especially now that they're so reliant on each other.

Personality

Alex is quite a people person, unlike his sister. He is fairly comfortable interacting with all types of people and is persistent in making friends. He's a nice guy who really just wants to get to know people better. However, if you say anything bad about his sister, he become very passive aggressive. It's a very slow transition. Usually, he'll give a warning to the person who did it, but if they continue he gets more and more savage. Many people perceive him as a player type person, but he teases everyone equally and it doesn't necessarily mean he has a crush on someone. He's also unintentionally good at attracting females, but he can be really dense when it comes to actual romance.

Background

Alex and his sister, Abby, are the twin children of two very prominent politicians. As young children, they'd move a lot and were in the public eye. So, they only really had each other since all their other friends left. Some parents even warned their kids to stay away from the twins because of their parent's political views. Alex is 17 minutes older than his sister and enjoys teasing her about it. He was always the one who dealt with people verbally. Abby was the one who dealt with people physically if it came to it. Once the two got to college, their parents decided to send them to Evergreen Academy. However, one day Abby got a hold of information and documents that their parents tried to hide. Their parents had just hosted a fundraiser for a charity. However, Abby found out that a large majority of the proceeds actually went into the Clarke's own pocket. After a large debate, the twins came to a conclusion that they needed to release this information. Since the charity was very well known, the scandal was devastating to the Clarkes. Alex and Abby were basically disowned by their parents because they were so furious. Since Evergreen received a lot of support financially from the Clarkes, they twins were kicked out. They ended up going to the cheaper college, Skyline University, and living in the best apartment they could afford. Now they both have to work hard for money, something they've never really done before. They are well known around town and in the university because of the scandal, but the two don't regret their decision.

If you'd like you can tweak your character a bit. Me and Blue will look through it, but if they're too similar, we may have to ask you to change. Sorry.

[Fabricant451]
