  Let's get this shiz done.
  
  Save the drama for the IC. Duh.
  You can have up to 3 characters, but I suggest you be sure you can handle it first
  Posting rules are like this: If you're posting with someone and that person doesn't respond in a maximum of 3 days, you can post and just move on without them. Not saying take control of their character, but move on to where you are no longer stuck waiting for a reply. Make sense?
  Also, if you're going to disappear in a matter of a few weeks, please don't even bother posting a cs.
  Speaking of posting, there is no real order to it. The first post of course will be mine.
  I wanna try doing these in chapters. So the first will be a topic and then the next and blah blah to flourish the story. It'll be (or rather should be) great and very interesting.
  Please make your characters diverse from race to personality. Diversity makes the rp a fun place to be.
  All post are required to have 2+ paragraphs. Totally necessary.
  Last but not least, I reserve the right to boot ya from my rp if the rules aren't followed.

Quinn Beckett

Spoiler

Appearance: 5'5 110lbs Brown Hair and Blue Eyes

Name: Quinn Beckett
Age: 19
Grade: Freshman
Chosen Art: Photography, Band, Acting

Personality:
Quinn is a fairly chill human being. He isn't one for loud displays of violence but he will defend you if it's needed. He seems to be what someone would assume a hippie to be like, down to earth and all for love, but he is in no way a hippie. He is heavily opinionated and will make sure you know about it. He likes rock music and everything about the punk subculture.

He is also very stubborn. Once Quinn has made up his mind about something then that is his final decision. When on stage his chill and calm persona almost fully goes away and he turns into an excitable puppy who wants to show everyone what he can do to make the show fun. He just wants to be happy if anything at all.

How They Think:
With Quinn, there is little he really cares about. When it comes to cliques, what's in and out and trends, he doesn't really care. He cares for the serious stuff, as in the things that will effect his life, like politics inequality and his schooling. His family are the people that he cares for along with the few people he actually liked in high school. Apart from that life could take his boot up the ass.

Brief History:
He was born in California to a Mexican woman and British man. She couldn't care for him for long and the two seperated, the more financially stable parent getting custody of the child. Quinn and his father moved north to Minnesota after that but due to his father's job as a freelance lawyer they couldn't stay there for long. They went where the wind took them and Quinn became a lonely child.

He got into creating as a teen, taking Polaroid photos wherever he went and sticking them in scrap books with little descriptions of all the things they did while there. Whilst in New Jersey, he found the punk scene and music that was around it. He soon became obsessed and learned guitar due to his new found love. He found more and more genres, from his father's precious Sinatra and Queen to high school preferred rap and pop. They settled down for two years in NYC and the Broadway culture lifted Quinn into another passion, acting. He performed in his high school's version of West Side Story and he fell for musical theatre. He just loved every second of it. He knew he wanted to go to an Arts school so he tried all he could to get in. He learned piano and kept practising guitar. He got into other genres of music and took his photography more seriously. He wanted in no matter what. And so when a letter came back from an art college he couldn't be happier.

Melissa Palmer​

Name: Melissa Palmer
Nickname: Lissa
Age: 18
Grade: Freshman
Chosen Art: Singing, Songwriting, Dance (usually modern)

Personality:
Melissa, growing up, learned quickly to stay out of her parents way. She would get chastised and punished for being "excessively loud" or bothersome in any way. Luke was her best friend, her rock, and she went to him for everything. Most of the time she would wake up in the morning in his room, having snuck in there in the middle of the night after her parents passed out. He always managed to keep her safe and make her smile, and what kid doesn't like to smile? She was a handful, and very inquisitive, always asking Luke what was wrong with mommy and daddy. Overall, she was pretty even-tempered, and when he would shush her and move onto something else, she would shrug and follow along.

It wasn't until his death that things went crazy. Her moods volleyed back and forth all the time, from crippling depression to burning rage. Since she's medicated now, and has been for over a year, she's evened back out but there's always a risk if she doesn't take her medication every night. She's very afraid-- afraid of losing those she cares about, so if you happen to be/become her friend, she might be a little possessive and/or overbearing. She means well, at least. She doesn't really initiate conversation, preferring to keep to herself. But she's a totally different person onstage. Once she's performing, she takes on a whole different persona, one that might leave you wondering if it really is the same girl.

How They Think:
Melissa would like to believe that people are innocent until proven guilty, and she feels that is true with some people. Like her brother, for one. But then she's reminded of her parents and she's not so sure. She knows the world is a big and scary place, but she somehow feels at home and safe onstage. Writing has always been an outlet for her, and as she got older, she realized she liked dancing as well. It was a good way for her to forget everything, and just be in the moment. She thinks of herself as an overall good person, albeit a bit on the timid side, unless pushed past her limits.

Brief History:
TW: SUICIDE
Melissa grew up with an alcoholic father and a drug addicted mother. She had an older brother, Luke, who swore to always take care of her. He protected her when their parents got into fights, and held her as she cried herself to sleep. Living in that house was hell, but Luke made it okay. He made sure she had clothes on her back and food in her belly, and as she got older he made sure that she finished her homework and helped him with the chores. It wasn't his job to be a parent to her, but he took it upon himself to do.

Maybe that's why he committed suicide. Lissa came home from school one day at the tender age of twelve to find that he'd hung himself, right there in his bedroom. He'd left a note that she still has to this day, although nobody knows about it. Her screams caught the attention of her parents, who rushed in to find their son dead and cold, and their daughter trying to tear him down and bring him back.

His death straightened out her parents. For a little while. Lissa started dealing with depression mood swings and was diagnosed as bipolar at fourteen after her mood swings became so much that not even her parents could handle them. They spent months fighting with her to get her to take her pills, but it wasn't until she became friends with one of her brothers old friends towards the end of her high school career that she got back on track. He told her about Ivory School of the Arts, and now here she is.

[Emotional Enigma]

Name: Noella Thompson
Age: 22
Year: Junior
Art platform: Pottery and photography

Personality: Noella is rather closed off and finds it difficult to communicate with others but not for lack of trying. She attempts to make connections most chances she's given but ends up overthinking her interactions and thus the cycle starts again at closing herself off. She rarely feels comfortable interacting with others, but she was an envy of many boys despite her quiet persona. The loss of her mother and father contributes to her self consciousness and guarded personality. When she calms down or is finally comfortable with someone, she is very nerdy and quirky. She loves video games, mythology, horror story lore, comics, and poetry. She was regarded in her younger years for having a talent with paints just as her mother had, but she had given it up for something more hands on and thus pushing a wedge between her and her mother. Her two siblings were older than her and moved out before she was ten, cutting her off from some important and essential relationships. She lives with her older brother now in an apartment close to the school, but he is a stranger to her and she is normally under a little stress upon coming to school. Art is her only escape.

History: Noella grew up in a loving household but things took a turn when her mother started drinking heavily. Her family started to fall apart at the seams and her mother was prone to aggression. Pictures were smashed and memories were destroyed. When Noella reached the prime age of ten and her siblings promptly moved out, she was left to the aggression and broken pieces of her father. Eventually, bad luck struck even harder. She lived on a farm with her parents; taking care of cows, chickens, dogs, goats, and rabbits. A few of the family's animals had gotten sick and died and her mother fell ill with cancer. Her mother passed after five years of fighting it and her father committed suicide when she turned seventeen. As a result of her past, she is a walking catastrophe of emotions and walls. She now lives with her brother, Scottie, in an apartment near the school. He moved back to help her but they don't seem to know each other at all.

How Noella sees the world: Noella sees the world like a big, black hole. To Noella, everyone leaves her and she can't trust many people if any at all. She prefers to watch people from afar because she believes true love can only really be seen, not felt. When she sees what deems as true love between humans it's like catching a glimpse of glow in the big, black hole of a world. It's rare and beautiful and warm and will always be so far away from her. Noella worries that her outlook is more dangerous than she realizes but because of how grimly she sees the world, she's willing to fight to keep the rare glow of true love between people alive.​
