Because Simba was the true king anyway.

More than one app for King Bee o.O

@Wintergrey

aaa i didn't see you were working on one until a few minutes after i finished mine. D;

<Snipped quote by Symphoni>
Contrary to the kind of characters I have in The Mundane rp, I have actually pulled off a King/Queen Bee-type of character. To be honest, any writer can do a king/queen be-type character. Hell, just as many can pull it off. I think, when it comes down to it, is if they would be able to get into the mind of that kind of character? I can definitely do it. I simply gather my intelligence on such a character(AKA watch teen dramas and study the King/Queen Bee characters) and mimic them in how they act and all that jazz.

That being said, you are right on the point that it doesn't really suit me. When it comes down to it, my types of characters I like to play are either the following three: The free/wild spirits(Jenny Humphery from Gossip Girl), total assholes(my character Harvey from Olympus Academy), or the shy/reserved types(Jay from OA, Grant from Mundane, me from me).

@Altered Tundra

Also, I don't like to hit a character archetype exactly, so I tend to like to subvert a lot of character types when I set my mind to it. *looks at sterling* He's a king bee, but he's a king bee who's kind worried about what he has after all is said and done. What's left after high school for him? And I think I'm going to enjoy that development as he finds himself in something other than the opinions of rich snobs (because he's a rich snob omg).

But, mostly, he's a snake and, though he is compassionate, he has no qualms with trampling over others to keep what he's built. topkek. I'm going to enjoy toppling that, though. A lot. time for the angst

As well, he's mostly in the closet because people expect a straight dude to be king bee right? i dunno it's mostly for his dad, who he's idolized.

In terms of what type of characters I play the most? Mediators. I play a lot of people who sit on the fence, who like to stop conflict instead of start it or choose a side. I've been trying to make more aggressive characters lately? I dunno. Not really. Fox from Mundane is anything but aggressive. Heh. HEH *Sweats*

Maybe I'll make Josiah aggressive/kinda assholish. ;D

<Snipped quote by HalfOfLancelot>

WHAT POSSESSED YOU BRUH!?

@Altered Tundra

*SWEATS HARDER*

OKAY HE'S NOT TOTALLY STRAIGHT

_{okay so he's not straight at all i'm sorry}

CLOSED.

<Snipped quote by HalfOfLancelot>

@HushedWhispers Tentatively finished, but may change a bit depending on the whole two king bees things aaaa

Name:

Sterling Errol Rochester

Nickname:

Chester

Birth Date:

March 10th, 1997

Age:

18

Gender:

Male

Sexuality:

Hetero but he's actually homosexual/in the closet, woops

Relationship Status:

Single

Occupation:

Model

Classification:

Senior

Role:

King Bee

In Depth Appearance:

Tall. Imposing. About 6'2" if one really wanted an accurate depiction of his height. Genes do an astounding thing when one's mother is an actress and their father is among the better—much better—looking directors in the Hollywood business. And the way Sterling holds himself, it's to remind people just where he got those genes from (and those jeans, because they're Valentino. Don't forget). Honestly, it didn't take long for Sterling to fill out, with his sunburst, freckled cheek bones prominent on his face and lips sculpted to fit perfectly under that pointed, defined nose. Talk about a man specifically designed to knock anyone's socks off.

Looks for a guy like him is kind of a requirement. Not a lot of places he can go without being recognized as a Rochester child. That's kinda difficult, like intensely difficult. Sterling, of all people, tends to stand out with his filled out figure, and imposing height (how's the weather up there Valentino?). And, for a guy, Sterling likes to dress up nice and he has the absolute budget for it too. Though spoiled in that regard, Sterling's earned a lot of what he's got with an unbelievable diet, hard work, and quite the determination. His father's almost skin and bones and his mother hit the lottery with her body type and the fact that she has to be a vegan. He, on the other hand, couldn't have been chubbier as a little kid and, going from middle school (and thus, puberty) to high school, cute little freckled menace turned into beefcake stud. Huh, guess that's how puberty works for some people. Genes. Damn them.

A salacious wink and a charming smile, that's all the kind of power he needs.

• Tugs at his ears when he's nervous.
• Doesn't like his shoulders touched; he'll get incredibly nervous and uncomfortable.
• Rubs his nose when he's deep in thought.

• Loves to bike (like literally kinda crazy about it)

• Reads Shakespeare extensively

Likes:

• Morning Jogs, watching the sun rise)
• Warm clothes (sweaters, coats, scarves, etc.)

• The occasional solitude; being at home alone
• Simple, easy conversations

Dislikes:

• People touching his things
• People touching him without prior consent
• Change (and like money change)
• Ice Cream (lactose intolerant)

Fears:

• Not knowing what he wants to do with his life; being stuck the way he is, in the place he's in
• Disapproval from his parents; he's highly dependent on them.
• Disapproval from his peers; like his parents, he's highly dependent on outside opinion.

Personality:

♦ Compassionate ♦ Unwavering ♦ Clever ♦ Ignorant/Naive ♦

A sheep with a crown knows not a wall from a picket fence, nor rising steeples from pastures and fields. And yet they sit on a throne made of hay and wear glasses not meant for them, heavy in denial and ignorance. For fear of judgment, loss, time wasted, the king refuses an audience not specifically tailored to his exact increments; more sheep to follow the black lamb. And, most of all, scared for the wolf at the end of the tunnel.

Things, so far, have been simple and Sterling likes simple. It makes his life smooth and, so far, worrying about the various things in life haven't yet caught up to him. For a man, living in bliss, ignorance be damned. It's quiet on the horizon and he attributes that to the pleasant morning, yet knows what the year ahead truly has in store for him. That scares Sterling, to the point where naivety seems to be the only option. Honestly, fake it til you make it works for the short term and that's all he wants, just a few more months of not having to deal with what the future has planned. Because once high school ends? What happens to the man who sat on his throne all those years?

What if these years are the best that he had coming?

And in that, Sterling sets himself. Yet, he's grown ever more cunning in the ways he keeps his order, something he's learned to do in years of weaving through kid after kid and teacher after teacher. People have something they want, it's just a matter of satisfying that until their wants are his wants and his needs are there's to fulfill. Now it's just a matter of preoccupying everyone while he picks up the pieces of himself to rearrange into something he's happy to be.

Change, wow, change is hard. He's had to learn that over the years and most of it isn't change, but putting on another layer. And another layer. And another. And being nothing but adamant that the face you're showing is yours and not something you made on a whim, or out of obligation. Because obligation is something very evident in children. Kids require a natural order of things, a hierarchy that dates back several centuries. They need a purpose, something that matters now to take their mind off of the future ahead. That's what matters until the illusion breaks and—

lo, on the horizon, dawn breaks.

History:

Father and mother expect a lot of a boy raised in silk and finery. Expect a child to grow to exact specifications and, perhaps that remains the reason why Sterling become so hard strung in his ways. Of course, that's, in all matters, makes sense in the long run. Genes gave him a head start, the push in the right direction Sterling always needed as a child. From there, life became eventful, full of various wants and desires given and spoiled.

But the biggest reward, emphasized by his father, was earned, not received. The shiniest light at the end of the tunnel drove a nearly ceaseless determination into the boy at a very young age. Until, finally, Sterling molded and shaped himself into the man he currently is today. Driven hard by a father who only knew the praise of his fellow peers and audience, Sterling craved that appeal most of all. Oh, boy, getting to see his father on the stage, winning best film, receiving Oscars for directing blockbuster hits. And suddenly, Sterling wanted that and his father made certain it was within his grasp, but not enough to where he wouldn't have to jump for it. That drove Sterling to seek approval in more than just that, in more than just his father and mother, but others, as well. And thus, that meant more to prove and standards to appeal to.

Ultimately, Sterling didn't quite hit the ground running, it took stumbling and righting his direction before people caught on. Next big thing maybe? An intelligent, strong, handsome young man that soaked in the attention. Yet, he'd reached a little too far a little too soon, finding out quickly that covering all the bases at the age of 10 didn't quite make one a master of it all. Thus came his brain and his desperation. Intellect over young minds, knowing what buttons to push, knowing how to manipulate a person correctly, in his high school years, that skill meant everything. And, though Sterling didn't always pass with flying colours, nor did he find himself the best at sports like some of his peers, Sterling had a knack for knowing people. For a kid looking to find his way to the top, that meant just about everything. And with money, style, clothes to back up his silver tongue, well, who could resist that charm?

In the end, Sterling worked for his throne in less conventional manners. Or, well, maybe it was pretty conventional. How else is someone supposed to get to the top without driving is shtick hard until someone believed he was the real deal. And, looking back, maybe he should have focused on something more practical in the long run. Unfortunately, Sterling has very deep regrets for how he chose to spend his high school career. Instead of looking toward the future, he set himself too deeply ingrained in the present and the people around him, people he'll likley never see outside of these damnable halls, anyway. That's the unfortunate circumstance and, sadly for Sterling, he's stuck in it.

On the Horizon: A Modern Day God RP

What's up?

@murdoc

We've just been a tad bit busy. ;3; Miso's having some writer's block with her Nemesis and Apollo post, so I've been helping her with it.

@Undine Not sure when to expect the post, so sorry for the delay. D; After her post, hopefully we'll be able to get more interaction with everyone in.

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

I should tag everyone in here *cough*

@Undine, @impervious, @murdoc, @Lady Amalthea, @GoddessSophia, @McHaggis, @Gowi, @Liriia, @Subject Zero, @Dirty Pretty Lies, @Ex, @Symphoni

I'm mainly doing this because we're still stuck in the beginning, and while I'm fine with this being a slow RP, I don't think it's wise to make it stagnant, if you catch my drift. ;o

Also, it's very hard to do a 4 man collab cause people have lives, live on the other side of the world *cough* haggis *cough* zero *cough* or simply don't feel comfortable writing a collab with people they don't know? *Shrug*

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

You all seem stuck, I think?

Time zones *shakes fist*

So, I think, what I'm gonna do, and bare with me, is ban collabs for a little while. Until we can get this train rolling because all these ginormous posts and we've only gotten to the plane. ;(

So, I'm gonna have the plane ride be no collabs, and when they touch down, I think it'd be wise for all the characters to unwind in their respective rooms with their plus ones [where you can begin collabing], and then we'll separate the Carringtons from the guests. ;D How does that sound to everyone (minus @Lady Amalthea for her first post with her new dude bro friend, but afterwards, yeah).

I think, for any big events Miso and I plan on doing, we're gonna put this collab ban into action and then after the events are over, we'll drop it. Does that sound good for everyone? Yes? No? Maybe?
