Slice of Ghetto

Personally I feel it'd be just a bit insulting to try (and inevitably fail) to RP a modern day "ghetto" setting realistically. I'd prefer a futuristic setting.

The Path Ahead

Looking through the characters the only person I'd imagine Bee would want to be friends with at first is Henry. She's pretty judgmental herself as of now and will pretty much hate everyone right off the bat. But I'm sure running across the country from a government conspiracy after everyone you've ever known dying will change your outlook on things.

It was a lazy Sunday afternoon. The church had just dismissed the townspeople. Most weren't in the worshiping mood anyway, since it was near-unbearably hot, and one of the older members of the church nearly fainted mid-prayer. The children ran through the streets, relishing the short time they had to play before their parents found them and put them to work. People returned to their shops, their farms, and their homes. Most people just wanted to wait out the heat wave, except for Young Tom Young.

Young Tom Young was the village troublemaker. Nobody really liked him, but his father, Old Tom Young, was one of the richest men in the town with his tavern. Young Tom would often get drunk and harass the elders of the town. Today it was Millicent Grant, the elderly widow who lived in the small house on the edge of town, near the forest.

Young Tom threw bottles at the old woman's house, laughing each time they shattered. "Ancient devil," he called out in a slurred speech. "She shleeps with them Shavages 'cross the forest she does! She's workin' with Shatin!" He proclaimed loudly.

Millicent poked her head out a window, trying to protect herself from the bottles. "Get away from here, you ne'erdowell!" She called. "You'll regret your actions some day, young man! I swear it by God you will!"

By now, many people around town heard the exchange and talked quietly among themselves. What should they do? Technically if a citizen accused another of witchcraft, the accused had to be put to trial. But Young Tom was drunk, and rather hated. Maybe someone should investigate?

The Path Ahead

Have literally the anti-character for these normal teenage roleplays. Can't wait to play her.

Bianca "Bee" Lewis

Name: Bianca Lewis
Age : 17
Gender : Female
Sexuality : Bisexual

Personality : Bee is quiet and reserved due to years of bullying. She doesn't want to make friends, mostly preferring to be left alone. She tends to dislike most of her classmates, either for bullying her or ignoring her being bullied. She also has a tendency to envy people around her and has next to no self esteem. She tries to ignore people making fun of her therefore had a high tolerance regarding her anger, however the explosion has threatened to push her over the edge.

History : Ever since she could remember, Bee has been obese. It meant she was ostracized from everything in school. Nobody wanted to do anything with her, and once she got the reputation of the "unpopular kid" it was hard to shake. She found solace in things such as books and movies, and the Anime Club at her school, where she met one of her only friends, Sierra. One day she was being made fun of when staying after school by a guy named Vinny. He was harassing her and she tried to ignore him, but he followed her. He was making fun of her weight and her family, and when she got to the stairs, he pushed her. It was soft, but it set her off and Bee threw Vinny down the stairs. He broke his arm and blamed Bee, and the majority of the school took his side. She became even more ostracized as the girl who beat up one of the most popular kids in school.

Bee's family includes a mother who travels for business, and often leaves her with a nanny. Her mother was in town during the explosion, however. Bee herself was out at the old pond on the outskirts of town during the explosion, just getting away from it all.

Clothing : She tends to wear whatever she can find, including t-shirts, sweat pants and jeans.

Skills & Weaknessess: Bee is a very smart girl. She had applied to two Ivy League schools, Brown and UPenn, but hadn't heard a response back yet. She doesn't work well with people, however. She is very good at blending in to a crowd, ironically, and keeping her head down, therefore she has learned to eavesdrop on people and observe situations very well.

I'm excited too, I have a good idea for the introduction, which will jump into the story for anyone interested, or you could ignore it for a while. I'll post it in a few hours, on my phone right now.

Land of the Chained

My steam isn't lost, I'm just waiting. I'm at that point where I don't really care about the 15 page essay I have due in 12 days that I haven't started yet, so I can still be into this.

Into the Fire (travelling, modern day, young group on the run) (working title)

I'm in, and I have a character in mind.

Slice of Ghetto

Would there be a main plotline? We could go normal streets or full on dystopian, gang/warlord controlled streets like for example in Deus Ex.

Warren Horrors

Both of your characters are accepted. I'm going to officially start the roleplay on Friday. Meanwhile, you can post introductions and develop your characters IC if you want.

Land of the Chained

I think Michael looks good. Also I'd be more than willing to make a Combat oriented character. As he's my second character he or Temitope could die, which could increase the tension.
