NeoAJ's The Ones

Aleksei Kask - Streets of Moscow (June 2, 2009-July 8, 2009)

Name: Aleksei Kask (can go by Alek)

Age: 21

Nationality: Estonian

Appearance: Fairly tall, at 6'4" but also fairly skinny weighing in at only 180 pounds. No real defined upper body muscle, but has got it in his legs. Has medium-long blond hair, deep blue eyes, and can't grow a beard for the life of him.
Usually seen wearing blue jeans and a t-shirt with either a KHL or RPL team's logo emblazened on it. Often tops it off bright red and yellow hat with a Watford F.C. crest on it. For formal attire, he has an all black suit, with a white shirt and sky blue tie.

Personality: Aleksei is a hard-working kid, always hustling to try and prove himself to his superiors. He will not give up a fight, no matter how high the odds seem stacked against him, especially when it comes to protecting people he cares about. However, he is still young, and easily falls into the traps of a 21 year old. He loves to party and he can drink with the best of them. Also, if someone makes him angry, very hard to do mind you, he can completely fly off the handle, and curse the soul of whoever set him off. He may be Estonian, but he can let a vendetta simmer with the best Italians.

Background: Aleksei grew up in Viimsi, a rural community just north of the capital Tallinn. His parents pushed him into soccer, and Aleksei quickly become one of the most promising talents in Estonia. He entered Levadia's youth academy and become on of their star players at age 16, attracting attention from abroad. One such man was CSKA Moscow manager Valery Gazzaev, who purchased the young midfielder for 500,000 Euros.

Aleksei's talent grew at the club, and it was looking like he would be a superstar in no time. However while playing for the Under 20 squad in a match against cross city rivals Lokomotiv, he was the victim of a vicious and dirty tackle by Ivan Starkov, and he crumpled in a heap. His knee was shattered, his cartilidge torn to shreds, he was out for a year and a half rehabbing and just trying to get back to where he once was. But in the mean time, CSKA was taken over by the Konstantin family, as a part of their growing empire. Soon after he was cleared for on the field training, he was summoned to Gazzaev's office.

He was told that the new owners wanted to cut any players who were deemed dead weight, and a player who hadn't stepped on the pitch in 18 months was considered to be pretty useless. Aleksei pleaded his case to Gazzaev, but it fell on deaf ears. He was told to pack his locker and get out of the arena.

With no where else to turn, Aleksei joined the Petrenko family, in hopes of getting his vengeance on Starkov, Gazzaev, and the entire Konstantin clan for dashing his dreams before they had a chance to get off the ground.

"What are you going to-" Jade never had a chance to finish that thought. Before she could inquire what Joey could possibly regret aside from the chugging of the bourbon, the giggly neon girl was on her lips.

Oh fuck. Oh shit. I'm kissing Joey. Why am I kissing Joey? I thought Lottie was the only one that kisses Joey? The soccer star's eyes were still wide open at this point. Is there a reason that Lottie wouldn't be the only person that kisses Joey? Did they fight? Is this a revenge kiss? The same analytical mind that allowed her to make split-second decisions on the pitch was not prepared for this. I shouldn't be partaking in this. Should I? I mean, it is Joey freaking Hart. The Neon Minx herself. She started this. Is Lottie going to come at me for this? ...I can take Lottie. Fuck it, I've earned this. Her brain finally came to a decision and leaned in, putting a hand at the nape of Joey's neck as she pressed her lips more firmly, eyes closed as she relaxed and enjoyed this for... whatever the hell this was going to be. I came here on the prowl anyway. I guess this is as good a way to start as any... Probably shouldn't go too long though. With that thought, she hesitantly broke away from Joey for the moment, eyes opening again to try and figure out exactly what was happening.

"Joey... that was lovely... but I don't understand. I thought you and Lottie had a thing? Is that why you are going to regret doing that? Because honestly, I don't think I regret that..."

Hey are you guys still accepting?

@josephb

We are! If you would like to submit a sheet either here or via PMs you may do so.

The Road To Indigo (Kanto-based Pokemon RP): Chapter One: Starting With a Clean Pallet (Accepting Sheets!)

Kanto was proving to be something of a disappointment so far. Between the supposedly most learned man in the land proving that things as complex as his family member's names and basic etiquette were elusive in his advanced age, and the toughest gym leader proving to be as insecure as a 16-year-old birthday girl with a zit on her face, it was frankly comical. Still, Lilith got what she came for. She got a Pokedex, she got an official start on the Indigo League journey and she got proof that Unova is much better than this Arceus-forsaken land. There was still a master thesis to be completed, but still, the ego boost from the events so far outweighed a potential reveal of her dreaded birth name.

While the other trainers who had assembled were chatting, Lilith turned to her partner. The little candle Pokemon was still calm as ever, smiling on her shoulder as if it didn't witness that utter shitshow inside the laboratory. "Hold still for a sec, Sia."

"Litwick?" But why?

Pokédex Entry: Litwick

#607: Litwick ♀
Candle Pokémon

Height: 1'00" / 0.3 m
Weight: 6.8 lbs / 3.1 kg
Ability: Flame Body - If a Pokemon makes contact with Litwick, there is a chance that the attacker could end up with a burn.
Moves: Astonish / Smog / Ember / Haze
Level 5
At first glance, Litwick appears to be a helpful Pokemon illuminating pathways through the darkness. However, it is only leading travellers astray to be able to leech off their life force to fuel its flame.

"Huh... Lilith looked back up at Sia. "Is that what you've been doing all this time? Just tricking me so you can suck the life force out?

"Lit! Lit! Litwicklitlit..." No! No! I mean, it's a nice perk, but...

"Look, I'm happy to keep you fed with all the life force I got. Just don't lie to me, OK?

"Litwicklit!" I never would!

"OK then..."

"That certainly just happened to all of us. I suppose our next move is to travel north, then? Perhaps as a group?"

Hana wanted to get out of town, and that sounded like a great idea to Lilith's ears. "The spirits seemed to have aligned us that way. We might as well." The Unovan looked around. There wasn't much to look around at, and it was pretty easy to spot a path that would lead out of this quaint little town. Lilith couldn't wait to leave it behind. "This way. You lot can keep yapping as we move.

With a place as small as Pallet Town, it wasn't long before the path opened up to an grassy plain. There were sure to be Pokemon in the area.

Palm Beach Royals: Senior Year

_{A collab featuring Shawna @NeoAJ & Sunshine @HaleyTheRandom}

During her months here at Kings Academy, Sunshine just couldn’t get used to all of the assemblies. Granted this one had all of them cramped in a classroom with some awkward staff member, but still. Why did the administration want to try and control every little thing about their senior year? We’re the students really that bad? Sure, Sunshine had heard stories. The Halloween party, Kavi’s nose getting broken at homecoming, the baseball bat to the car incident. Okay, sure. Kings Academy's class of 2019 could use a little supervision. But getting them to bring their friends instead of significant others?

Stupid.

Leaning to her right where Shawna was sitting, Sunshine couldn’t help but scoff. ”They do realize just how stupid they sound everytime they do this, right?”

“You would think that,” Shawna answered, “And yet it still keeps happening.”

And this was the stupidest one yet. This was supposed to be a coming out party. A big romantic spot where Shawna could officially come out to the world and embrace the girl that she was falling for.

Instead, she was going to be expected to take a friend? Bullshit. Sunshine was a friend. Granted, she was more than a friend. But still. The relationship was less than a month old. It should still count.

“I will say that this is a new level of stupid. I mean, not that I gave a shit about Valentine’s Day before, but even back then, I’d say this was asinine. Now? Now, I’m just kinda pissed," Shawna admitted.

"I wouldn’t say that it’s the worst one, but probably the dumbest. If they think that all of our problems come from romantic relationships they’re deadass wrong.” Rolling her eyes as she stood up, Sunshine grabbed her bag off the back of the chair while waiting for Shawna to grab her things.

"I had our outfits almost planned out and everything,” she groaned. ”Who would I even take? I mean, there’s Chanel, but she’s probably going with Julie or April.”

“Awwww, you had planned outfits for us?” Shawna asked as she grabbed her bookbag and followed Sunshine’s lead to get the heck out of the classroom. “Probably too classy-looking for this school anyway, hun. I mean, given the uniforms, I know that is not a high bar, but still. I’m sure we can find some place fun for them.”

The past couple weeks continued to see a noticeable uptick in Shawna’s mood. The fact that she was wearing the school uniform willingly again was proof of that. The new relationship was easing into itself, and things were being taken slow this time. It seemed to work out. There was no rush to get into things like there was with her previous target of affection. With Sunshine, there was no worry about that sort of thing.

It was why Shawna wasn’t that worried when Sunshine quickly trotted out Chanel as a potential target for the dance. It made sense. They were both on the cheer squad, they might as well tag team for this event too. However, it did throw Shawna’s lack of options into sharp focus.

“Fuck, I don’t even know who I’d line up for this sort of thing. Least you got those cheer hookups,” she told Sunshine. “I mean, I could ask Ari, at least then I know the drinks will flow. But she’s probably going with one of her other friends. Kavan or Archer or something. Then there’s Chrissie, but I don’t know if she wants any reminders of what happened with Jason… I don’t know… maybe Carter? Do dealers count as friends?”

Sunshine couldn’t help but laugh. ”I mean…. He’s better than some of the other options, and I’m pretty sure drug dealers can count as friends. Though to what extent, I don’t know.” Taking a moment to think, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes again. ”You know - this really, really blows. Like… I had plans. I’m sure a lot of people did. Now we just gotta toss them and do platonic bullshit.”

“That’s one thing you learn about this school, Cookie. It doesn’t give a sweet fuck about your plans,” Shawna confirmed. “Although, another thing I’ve learned, is that there will be someone foolish enough to have a separate party at their own place to make up for the school’s terrible ones. So I’m sure we won’t have to worry about platonic bullshit for too long.” The former honors student grinned at Sunshine. “Worse case, we can have our own little soiree back at my place after.”

”I freaking hope so. No doubt that they’ll want us to freaking leave room for Jesus and all that other shit,” she said, waving her right hand dismissively. ”Oh well. It is what it is. I just like to complain. I’m gonna go and see if I can find Chanel real quick before class.” Doing her best to balance on her tiptoes, Sunshine placed a quick kiss on the other girl’s cheek. ”I’ll catch you later?”

“Not if I catch you first,” Shawna said, a slight blush appearing on her face. She was getting better at controlling it now, but it still appeared under Sunshine’s touch. “And for the record, liking to complain is another thing we have in common. So, just a heads up on that.” Shawna gave Sunshine a finger gun that she thought was appropriate. Knowing her though, it probably just came off as lame. However, it would have to do as the two went their separate ways for class.

The cabin was getting stuffy. It was time to go out and mingle among the people. At least that was the reasoning for Jade to step outside of the shack and let the waning summer air drift over her. Of course out here, ice was going to be a necessity for her beverage.

Hence the Golden Girl's return trip to the tables, where coolers were plentiful and could easily spare a couple of cubes for her drink. A quick lift of a lid revealed the frozen paydirt. Meanwhile someone was having themselves a time slamming down some shots on the table above. Holy shit, Screams McGee, pace yourself. You have a whole night to go, and screaming is unnecessary... She plunked the ice in her cup and returned to her upright position.

Then pain.

Granted, Jade had scored enough goals with her head that she could take a hit there no problem. But skulls are harder than balls, and the forehead-on-forehead clashes were never fun. She managed to avoid losing her cocktail in the process though, so that was a win, and it sounded like the gave better than she got.

It just sucked when she found out who she gave it to.

"JADE!"

The neon piping and pigtails could only mean that Jade just conked the heck out of her sorority sister. Joanna Hart. Rare to find Joey by herself. Usually she was stride for stride with her roommate Charlotte. Anyone with half a brain could tell those two were a thing. Not that Jade disapproved. Hell, she had looked at their relationship close up with just a twinge of jealousy that no one compared to her and could offer the sort of bond those two had.

But here Joey was, now likely concussed and by herself. What else was Jade to do? Especially with her sorority sister now holding onto her like that Brazilian guy clutching his fake World Cup. She put her free hand around Joey and patted her on the back. The lioness on the prowl persona was temporarily put away. "Hey girl, what are you doing going around headbutting people like that? You know that's silly, right? How are you feeling? You hurt bad?"

Palm Beach Royals: Senior Year

---

Hmmm... guess I sounded more hostile than I thought..."

Granted, Shawna was out of practice when it came to sounding happy, or even neutral really. The eight months of drugs, booze and apathy had really settled into a world-weary cynical voice. Clearly she had been watching Natasha Lyonne too much.

Still, she wasn't intending to offend the jock in front of her. At least not at this time. But he seemed so shocked by the notion that one could choose to not be at school. It was pretty straight forward in Shawna's mind. You just don't go to class. You do literally anything else. It was fun. All those bad influences from the PSAs had that right at least.

Meanwhile, Jack was expressing a disdain for classes that was very familiar. He was correct that he didn't need to know when George Washington... conquered America. The internal sigh in Shawna's mind was deafening. Even the most expensive schools in the land couldn't teach some people. A low-level ACC university was going to be very proud to have Jack's grades to make up for. The football star was right. Society had made sure that he needed to know absolutely none of those things to succeed.

"What do you even have next, anyway? Something just as boring? I feel that, dude. School totally SUCKS."

Shawna had to actually think for a second. It had been a while since she gave enough of a damn to look at her schedule for the second semester. What did she have? Some Biology course she could fake her way through? English? Did she sign up for Drama while high? She should probably check her phone or something. But Jack was still standing here, still asking questions. The man who catch balls good probably deserved some manner of an answer.

"I'm gonna be honest with you, Jack, I got no clue what I have next. I have not checked out my schedule yet, and I kinda forget what's on there. But you're likely right. It's going to be boring as hell. And that's why I wonder if I should have tried to find somewhere else to be other than school right now."

Shawna thought for a second. She could still get out of there. Time was still on the clock for that great escape to one of the bridges or to WPB or some place that didn't remind her of failure. Her Audi was still in the parking lot. She still had a rolled-up joint tucked in her wallet. That would make for a pretty peaceful session.

But that wouldn't be fair to Sunshine. It wouldn't be fair to Lia. It wouldn't be fair to... to herself even. This weird floating feeling. It was starting to affect other things she was thinking about. It just confirmed that even with the break that Jack and his lackey's presence provided in that sheer warmth that was permeating through Shawna from her picnic-table conversation, it wasn't some temporary high.

"But, I guess I finally got a reason to stay here for a bit. At least enough of a reason to go in there and pay a bunch of lip service. Maybe rattle off the year James Cook discovered how to make a sandwich or something. But you know what, Jack?" Shawna put her free hand on Jack's arm, that very well-toned arm of his, firmer than she was expecting. But it was a momentary distraction. "It's gonna finally be worth it for the reason I got." The warning bell rang out telling students to get their act in gear. "Anyway, try to survive that history lesson, brah." Shawna smiled as she let go of the football star and headed inside to try and figure out where the hell she was supposed to go for first period.

Meadow University

As his roommates seemed to fan out amidst the growing party on the lakeshore, Kieran was content to let the party come to him. He quickly confiscated one of the provided bottles of Jameson for his own person business, no cup needed. A true son of the Rock took his pulls where he could get them, and left nary a dirty dish in sight for the host to clean. Besides, you can cap a bottle and keep the flies from getting into the booze. No need for extra protein getting in and ruining a good game of drink. Settling in at a random picnic table, the left winger took a long sip from the bottle and set it back down on the outdoor furniture.

Kieran was studying the party with an athlete's eye, looking for a target much like he looked for a weak spot in a goalie's movements. It was tough to pick out people even with the light provided by the mysterious host. However, no one could miss the neon blur that was quick to emerge from the corner of his vision. He had enough time open up his stance in preparation thanks to the excited cry of his favorite girl at Meadow University.

"KIKI!" A blur of blonde hair and technicolor piping suddenly landed in his lap before stabilizing in the form of Miss Charlotte Diedrikson. Not that Kieran would ever call her that to her face. No, they had a strictly nickname relationship at this point, the Lottie to his Kiki.

“How’s my favorite viking doing? Did you miss me, K-Bear?”

Lottie was much better at the nickname game than Kieran was. Dieder didn't carry the same amount of affection that it felt like it should. Still, the Canadian had a couple that he could turn to. "Of course I missed my little munchkin! How could I not? Especially with the neon outfit you're rocking tonight! I like it!"

For all the time they had spent together, it was a great relief to Kieran that things never seemed to get too serious. Lottie was an athlete like himself. She knew the work that had to be put in to maintain both athletic and academic superiority. That's why Kieran was more than happy to keep things casual with the tennis star the way they had been since they started hooking up. It suited him just fine.

Still, Kieran wasn't going to let the balance book on kisses be outweighed against him. He planted a quick peck on Lottie's cheek, light enough to not smudge any makeup she might have on for tonight's festivities. "And of course I'm doing better now that you're here! But hey, enough about me! You just get here? Are you set for drink? Or are you good to split the Jameson with me?

Kieran was tempted to ask where her roommate was. It was a well-known fact that where Lottie Diedrikson went, Joey Hart wouldn't be too far behind. The Canadian appreciated that kind of closeness between roomies. It was something he was proud to share with Mac and Eli, even given their wildly-different backgrounds. For two girls who seemed to have a lot in common, it made sense that they would have the same kind of bond. But still, that didn't make either of them their roommates' keeper. Surely MacKenna and Elliot found other things to do at the Bash. Joey would as well. So he let that thought slip as he basked in the feeling of his primary squeeze getting cozy on his lap.
