Hello! I have a couple of ideas I'm looking to do with some of my characters. A little about them: Eva and Kennedy are trans women and drag performers who fell in love several years ago. Several years later they took in three queer teenagers who were living in abusive homes (Jupiter, Hugo, Ronan). I have several ideas, some of which are similar, so I consolidated them all into one thread.

My requirements:
  • Please don't join the RP, and then drop it right in the middle. It bugs me when people only post once, or post a few times and then just leave.
  • Please be advanced. At least four paragraphs per post with good spelling, grammar, and detail. I can make exceptions at times. This is a big thing for me. I get annoyed when people can't similarly match my post lengths. If you 'typ LIek diss' and don't use decent capitalization and punctuation, or use long run on sentences I'll most likely drop the thread or ignore the request to RP with me. Everyone makes mistakes, and I understand that, but if you can't manage basic grammar then please don't ask to RP with me. If you can't think of what to reply with, PM me and I can add a bit more. I would prefer you to match my length. Also, so I know you read this, tell me your favorite color when you express interest. Otherwise you will be ignored.
  • Be active PLEASE. I'm online most every day. I haven't Rped in a while due to real life issues, and I understand you might need to drop. If you do please PM me first.

My Plots:

Kennedy had a brother two years younger than her and the two were never close—quite the opposite, in fact. Logan frequently bullied and abused her, and eventually drove her to flee her home shortly after coming out to her family. The two remained estranged, only seeing one another on the rare occasions when their mother desired to have the whole family together. Their relationship never healed, and seemed to get worse as time went on. Logan hardly spoke to his mother or his sister.





One night, on one of the few occasions the pair of them were in the same house together, Logan raped Kennedy after following her into the bathroom. He was caught by their mother, and permanently abandoned by his family as a result, and though Kennedy refuses to admit it, she remains terrified of him to this day. She told no one else about what he did to her aside from her mother and her wife, and rarely mentions it at all, as the experience left her traumatized.





When Logan was in high school, he got his girlfriend pregnant, and shortly after abandoned her without telling any of his family. This resulted in a daughter (your character, age 11-13) who he had no interest in caring for. The girl stayed with her mother up until her mother died in an accident, and she was sent to live with her father, who treated her just as badly, if not worse, than he had once treated his sister.





3 years after that, and a year after being cut off from his family, just before Christmas, Logan was arrested, and his daughter is being sent to live with Kennedy and her family, who knew absolutely nothing about the girl’s existence up until a few days ago.

I would play the parents (Eva and Kennedy) and their adopted children (Jupiter, Hugo, and Ronan), and you would play the twins that they adopt.

Eva and Kennedy met nearly ten years ago. Two transgender women who performed as drag queens in a local bar, Kennedy had fled home to get away from her abusive brother, and Eva was kicked out by a father who didn't support her transition. They fell in love, and several years later, took in three queer teenagers who had been abandoned by their families, Jupiter, Hugo, and Ronan.

Deciding that they wanted to adopt again through a more traditional route, and a few weeks later they visited with a social worker at a foster home. The couple took a seat, and explained to the agent that they were looking to adopt a young child so they could enjoy the experience of raising a child. The agent had pulled out the files of multiple children and was discussing which one they thought would fit the best in their household when the door to the woman's office opened, revealing two children.

Approximately twelve years old, they appeared to be twins, mangy and dressed in flimsy clothing that was barely suitable for the cold winter winds blowing outside. While the agent quickly moved to talk with them (it appeared that they'd been left with a new home a month or so prior and had ran away to come back to the facility), and Eva and Kennedy knew immediately that they needed to take these children, whose timid demeanor reminded them so much of Hugo, their youngest son.

The social worker explained that the pair had been rescued from an abusing household many years ago, and not a a single household they'd been placed in since had been suitable. They were close to needing to be separated to find homes. She warned that the twins might be difficult to care for due to all of their issues, but Eva and Kennedy signed the papers anyway.

The next week, the twins arrived at their large house, looking just as ragged and dirty as the last time the couple had seen them. The children were timid and wary. The couple were determined to help the children work through their trauma and provide them with a good proper home where they could finally be safe and loved.

My main character is Eva, a transgender woman. You would play her father, a military man who kicked her out ten years earlier after she came out to him, as well as his new wife and stepchildren (ages 13-17 and maybe one younger one that's biologically Eva's half sibling, I don't care about the amount. Could be two, could be four).

His wife found out that he hasn't talked to or seen Eva (who he still knows as Eric) in ten years and has been pushing him to talk to her again. He has so far been adamantly refusing. Part of my idea was that maybe his family has run into some sort of money trouble and are on the verge of being homeless, and he had no choice but to go to her and basically beg for a place to stay until he gets back on his feet. She eventually agreed and his family ends up staying with her own (she has a wife and several adopted children). I was also thinking that maybe one of the kids could be trans or some other variant of queer and hesitant to accept themselves/come out because of their stepfather's stance on such things, and they wind up pretty close to Eva as a result.

My idea is that my character (Eva) is a transgender woman. You would play her mother and her mother's second child (11-14). When Eva was a teenager her mother, an army nurse, contracted a strange illness after she accidentally pricked herself with a used needle. During this time she grew extremely weak and wouldn't allow Eva (who she then knew as Eric) to touch her for fear that she might contract the same illness. A few months later, she was sent to a specialist far from her family in hopes that they might be able to do something for her.

Eva was told that her mother had died near the end of the year, when in reality the woman had slowly begun to recover. Eva's father, a military man of high rank, took his son and fled the house, giving the excuse that it reminded him too much of his wife. In reality, Eva's mother had recovered, and her father had decided to abandon her along with their only child. Her mother attempted to contact Eva through letters, none of which she ever received.

A few years after her husband abandoned her, Halle married again and had a second child, but she never stopped searching for her first child, hoping that one day she would see him again.Eventually, her new husband died in an accident (the type of accident is up to you).

After receiving no response from "Eric" nearly fifteen years, she began to suspect that something was up and threw herself into her search before turning up on Eva's doorstep with her child in the start of the RP. The pair haven't seen one another since just after Eva's mother got sick, long before Eva's transition. She had no idea that Eva was transgender, as Eva never even hinted at it and by the time she came out she was under the impression that her mother was dead. In the period of time since then Eva got married and she and her wife took in 3 queer teenagers who were rejected by their families.

I don't have much that's already set for Eva's mother aside from what I mentioned in the description, the fact that her name is Halle, she worked as a military nurse for at least the first fifteen years of Eva's life and some time before that, attempted to teach Eva piano at one point, and she probably looks somewhat similar to Eva. Also, if interested, tell me your favorite color so I know you've read this. Everything else is up to you. Any takers?

My idea is that my character (Kennedy) grew up being raised solely by her mother. You would play her father and his children from a later relationship. Her parents were only sixteen when they had her, and her father got scared and ran off. She has never met him. He came to regret not raising her and went searching for her. He found her phone number and called her, and during their phone call revealed that he had recently lost his job and he and his children from a later relationship were on the verge of being homeless (probably two kids around 13-17) and Kennedy, being a compassionate person, hesitantly offers to let them come stay with her family. One of the kids is queer/trans and closeted. Kennedy's father doesn't know she's a trans woman as she didn't tell him, and as far as he knows, she still is and has always been Keegan. How he and his kids react is up to you. Any takers?

My idea is that our characters would be neighbors who are polar opposites of one another. My characters are a group of performers and trans people that have lived on their street for several years. Eva and Kennedy took in their children from abusive households. The entire group is pretty much just as out there and queer as you could possibly get. My idea for your characters is, well, the opposite! I was thinking maybe really strict no nonsense religious parents who of course, think my characters are completely backwards. What I'd like is that if your family had at least one kid in their teens who is queer but can't be out because of their parents (though they suspect it and aren't happy, with behavior bordering on abusive). The teen befriends my characters as their family is moving in, and they start spending time with my characters, much to the extreme disapproval of their parents.

Your character eventually comes out to their parents, and things get worse at home. After a night when things become particularly brutal, they escape to my character's house, and we can go from there.
My characters:

DSei6q4UIAAxAer.jpg


Age: 30

Occupation:
Drag/burlesque performer, show director

Gender:
Transgender woman

Sexuality:
Unlabeled, prefers to answer the question by simply saying "Kennedy"

Physical Description:
Her eyes are light brown. She is 5'11. Her hair is light brown, straight, and reaches the middle of her back,

Personality:
Eva is soft spoken. She is gentle and patient, but easily bruised. Rather than yell, she tends to cry when she is angry.

Bio:
Eva was born Eric Robins. Her mother Halle was a military nurse and Eva was extremely close to her. They did everything together. Eva's father was much stricter and no nonsense and was a military man--how he met Eva's mother. Eva was forced into strict gender stereotypes by her father, and they never felt quite right to her. It didn't hit her that she was transgender until she was around fifteen, when she finally found out that there were people like her in the world. Even after that, she was hesitant to come out. After all, no one had ever explicitly told her she was different. She had to figure that out on her own, and the idea terrified her. Shortly after she had finally accepted herself, her mother contracted a strange illness from pricking herself with a used needle, and was dead within a year. She wouldn't even let Eva touch her for fear that she would catch her illness. Poor Eva was absolutely devastated. She kept her identity bottled up until she was around twenty and already living on her own, often putting on makeup and going to gay bars to watch drag shows. She then finally came out to her father. It did not go well. He cut her off and stopped speaking to her completely. Eva began performing to make money, and shortly after met another trans woman called Kennedy Piane. The two quickly bonded and became best friends, even moving in together. Their time performing allowed them to befriend a small group of queer kids who also had poor home lives. Eva and Kennedy took pity on them. The small group of three became very close to the women, and were basically adopted by them. Now they all live together, Eva and Kennedy being surrogate parents to them. Eva is very motherly and protective over her adoptive children.

Age: 29

Occupation:
Drag/burlesque performer, show director

Gender:
Transgender Woman

Sexuality:
Lesbian

Physical Description:
Her skin is brown, as are her eyes. Her hair is thick and curly, and she keeps it long. She passes extraordinarily well. She is tiny, at just barely five feet tall, a result of her mother's side of the family. All of the men were small, which ultimately helped Kennedy post transition.

Personality:
Kennedy is fiery, and has a sharp tongue. She is more likely to stand up for herself than Eva is. She can be gentle when she needs to be--she is usually the one who Hugo is the most calm around. She is patient with her children.

Bio:
Kennedy was born Keegan Piane, and was raised solely by her mother. She had a brother named Logan, who was younger than her by a year. Kennedy took no interest in anything masculine, and her mother never had any issue with it. She teased Kennedy often, calling her a little diva and suggesting that maybe Kennedy would be a model someday. Kennedy's brother was not nearly as accepting of her. He was embarrassed of her, ignoring her at school and in public, but at home he treated her like trash. He kicked her, punched her, and destroyed her things. Kennedy had never been a fighter, and fighting back often only got her hurt. He wouldn't stop, no matter what their mother tried to do to stop him. When she came out at nineteen, things only got worse. Her brother continued to hurt her. She saved up money, and once she had enough, fled the house, fearing for her life. She began performing, and shortly after, met Eva. The two became incredibly close and moved in together. Kennedy does not speak to her brother anymore, but is still close to her mother, and the two talk often. Upon meeting Jupiter, Hugo, and Ronan she became incredibly close to all of them, and now considers them her children. She loves them all equally, but is closest with Hugo. Shortly after her bottom surgery on a visit to her mother, her brother cornered her into the bathroom and sexually assaulted her. Eva is the only person who knows other than her mother, who caught them thanks to Kennedy's screaming and struggling. She doesn't talk about it, but suffers PTSD as a result.

Age: 17

Occupation:
Student, performer

Gender:
Agender

Sexuality:
Asexual

Physical Description:
They are about 5'8. Their hair, when left down, goes across their forehead in blonde bangs. More often than not it is styled into a blonde quiff. Their eyes are blue. They always have a girlish edge to them, and it is not uncommon to see Jupiter dressed in full femme just for casual daywear.

Personality:
Kind, Responsible, flamboyant, protective of their brothers.

Bio:
Jupiter's mother left when they were around five or six, and Jupiter was sent to live with their maternal aunt and uncle, both of whom were very strict Catholics. They both forced the kid into things they showed no interest in, all in attempts to make them more masculine. Their uncle often beat them in an attempt to toughen them up. Jupiter rejected nearly all of them, and always felt different from the other little boys in their class. Upon hitting puberty, their discomfort only heightened, and Jupiter realized that they didn't neatly fit into either box, not just in terms of their behavior, but in the way they felt about their body as well. They often longed to be rid of their genitals, and desired the feminine curves that almost all the girls they knew seemed to be getting. They didn't feel male or female. Around sixteen, they began sneaking out, putting on makeup, and going to drag shows to watch the kings and queens perform, hiding this from their aunt and uncle knowing that they would never approve. They befriended a few queens and began performing under the name Jupiter Bowie. They practically abandoned their birth name, Kevin, and all of their friends (most of whom were drag queens) began calling them Jupiter (or Jupe, Jupey, etc.) and referring to them with female pronouns. Jupiter finally felt accepted. The blissful period didn't last long, and Jupiter was caught sneaking out one night. Their aunt and uncle threw a fit, and even though Jupiter tried to explain how they felt, neither adult listened. They constantly nagged at Jupiter for "turning his back on god and choosing to be a sinner." They refused to call Jupiter by the name they preferred, and practically drove the poor kid insane. They no longer treated Jupiter with the kindness they had always shown them as a child, and became extremely cold toward them. Jupiter spent more and more time out of the house, and eventually just chose to leave their family behind, not that anyone really cared. They were taken two transgender performers, Kennedy and Eva, and the two became Jupiter's substitute parents.

Age: 15

Occupation:
Student, performer

Gender:
Cis Male

Sexuality:
Gay

Physical Description:
His hair is dark brown, left long on top and shaved on the sides. He is 5'4 and thin, on the lower side of average. His eyes are gray.

Personality:
Optimistic and cheerful, often too much. He sees the best in people. His optimism leaves him with a habit of sometimes not realizing other people's stress or hurt. He has mostly recovered from his abuse, but still flinches somewhat frequently.

Bio:
Ronan and his twin brother Hugo spent their entire childhoods being shifted from foster home to foster home, never knowing their real parents. Many of the foster homes treated them poorly, and the brothers were often separated even though they were supposed to be fostered and adopted together. He and Hugo are both very close, practically joined at the hip. Ronan is the more upbeat, positive twin. He and his brother are both gay, and this wasn't sitting well with their foster family at the time--strict evangelical christians. Ronan began to spend more and more time out of the house, experimenting with makeup and going to drag and burlesque shows. He began going out as a drag queen called Kyra Currie, and one night decided to take his brother out with him. The two felt at home at the shows, which was where they met Jupiter. Shortly after they met Eva and Kennedy, and were the first two to be taken in by them. The twins were grateful to be off the streets and with people who seemed to care for them. Ronan has mostly recovered from his abuse, but there are signs that he has been hurt, such as flinching when Eva or Kennedy reach for his face to fix his hair or his wigs. Other than that he is generally happy and very attached to his new family.

JOAN-WATERS.jpg


Age: 15

Occupation:
Student, performer

Gender:
Cis Male

Sexuality:
Gay

Physical Description:
His hair is dark brown, left long on top and shaved on the sides. He is 5'4 and extremely skinny as a result of malnourishment in his former homes. His eyes are gray.

Personality:
He does not take to new people right away, and has a tendency to automatically view others as being out to hurt him. He is very attached to his family, and is terrified of losing them, to the point where he has developed crippling separation anxiety. He panics when around unfamiliar people, and is afraid of being shunted back into a life of uncaring foster families and abuse. He has been known to run off and hide when things get too tense, or when he feels an argument brewing. Otherwise, he is very kind.

Bio:
Hugo's many years in foster care affected him deeply. He is not as positive or optimistic as his twin brother, and is incredibly cautious and hesitant. He has cystic fibrosis, which went undiagnosed until he was nearly ten as a result of neglect. He was unsure when his brother first began to take him to drag shows, but after a while he blossomed and became very social at them. He took the drag name Kasha Currie, the same last name as his brother's. Their foster parents at the time were much harsher on him than they were on his brother, beating him when his brother was out. He formed no attachments with any of his foster parents or siblings, and all he really cared about was his brother. He is still scarred from his abuse, both mentally and physically. He was this way with Jupiter at first, then Eva and Kennedy, but they showed him kindness and empathy, and he slowly opened up to them. They took him in along with his brother, and Jupiter soon followed. Hugo is very close to both of the older women, but is most attached to Kennedy, as he met her first.
