Coastal Daytona Academy: The High School RP [OOC|DEAD]

[Axis Asteroid]

Just don't forget to post. ^-^

Trying to figure out what Megan Carrollton would do, and an appropriate response, after that back-and-forth.

I'm working on a post right now myself. Writer's block has been a killer, but I should have it up around nine.

EDIT: I'll give Megan something to respond to lol.

[Imperial Esplanade]

Hm, alright. I suppose I'll hold off until that post is made.

[Axis Asteroid]

Hm, alright. I suppose I'll hold off until that post is made.

Don't restrict yourself on my account lol. Expect it to be up at 9:30 just about at this rate lol.

I'm not in any rush. In fact, I'm about to post the second half of the collab between Flatt and I.

(Re)Posted! Had to clean up some minor errors (with the height), but it should be all good now.

Hopefully I gave you guys something to work with.

[North Daecon]

Now to wait. Maybe figure out how I can link around here.

Now to wait. Maybe figure out how I can link around here.

If/when your application is approved. If you want to link up, maybe join the tour with Ryo? I have been looking for a way to get him involved. Both our characters would be attending the Academy for the first time. I should have just stuck Ryo in the line in the first place!

Sure. Once the approval comes, Melissa can probably join up with Ryo, maybe somewhere near where the tour hold up is?

Thank you! I think it is supposed to be in the cafeteria where it starts. But I was very vague with Ryo's location, because I was not sure at the time. You can basically do it anywhere I guess. Just say the tour has started and it is halfway through etc.

Name: Selena West
Sex: Female
Gender: Cisgender
Grade: 11th, Junior
Role: Boarding Student
Birthday: 16 years old. July 12th, 2001
Hometown: Daytona Beach, Florida, United States
Appearance:

Height, Weight, and Body Type: 5'6", 137 pounds, rather average body type.
Personality: Selena is generally pretty laid back as a person, just wanting to hang out and have a good time. That doesn't mean that she just casually sits around at parties or anything. At parties she's actually usually rather engaged in the activities of said party. It isn't that she's not a social person. She very much is. Just she doesn't typically go all absolutely wild. But then there are times where she is just chilling on the beach around a campfire, chatting to people that she knows, be it from school or elsewhere. Or even just merely by herself, chilling on the beach. She isn't the nicest person you'll ever meet, but she makes up for what she may lack in super proper manners and friendliness by being about as loyal of a friend as you could wish for. While she doesn't go out of her way to be super polite, if she likes you as a person, she will be there for you when you need it almost always. Need some advice about something? She will do what she can to help you. Having an emotional breakdown? She will also be there for you. There may only be a select few friends that she would be loyal to on such a level, but you should consider yourselves lucky if you're among them. It seems like she rarely gets angry about things, though she is likely scary when she is actually angry. More often she defuses stupid from people with sarcastic comments instead of getting angry about it. A lot of the time, she rarely engages with people like that, anyway, though sometimes it does happen. Isn't a huge flirt, but isn't not a flirt, either. Kind of depends on the situation at hand. Seems to be fairly open to sexual encounters, and just physical intimacy in general. Doesn't really shy away from intimacy in public. There are various other little quirks about her, but those tend to be more interesting to find out about in the RP itself.
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual. Has dated males and females about equally. Literal 3 on the Kinsey Scale.
Moral Alignment: Lawful Good
Personal Skills: The biggest thing would probably be surfing, as she's a rather prominent surfer. Swimming as well. Also good at just identifying things related to sea life in general.
Personal Vulnerabilities: Seems to get easily impatient when something she isn't enjoying takes too long, though is rather patient when it comes to anything else. Occasionally let's her thoughts get the best of her and ends up unnecessarily arguing with people. Gets a bit carried away with things sometimes, usually when she wants to do something and others might not want to. A bit jealous at times, though doesn't seem to get super jealous.

Biography: Selena has lived in Daytona Beach her entire life. Daytona Beach is her home in every way imaginable. She knows the city by heart at this point, seemingly knowing where everything is by memory. Same can be said about places nearby, as well. Besides, say, random houses, but anywhere of note, she knows right where it is because she has been everywhere throughout her childhood, and now as a teen. She's wandered around freely through town on multiple occasions, especially in her teens. Her parents seem pretty accepting of their children wandering freely, as long as they bring their phones, maybe some basic protection just in case, and typically don't stay out too late. Or if they do, inform their parents beforehand that they're staying out late. Though once you're an adult and out and about, then whatever, they just have to hope for the best. Even for Selena, they kind of have to, since she is now boarding at a school, though she still tends to keep them informed, and does come around home often. She was excited to turn 16, because that was when she felt like she could increasingly be independent. She got her learners permit when she was 15 1/2, and got her license as soon as she turned 16. Like, on her birthday. Then, she got herself a car, or more like her parents got her one and she picked it out, which is a Land Rover Defender 110. It felt like a good beach adventure vehicle, and it could hold lots of supplies for trips and traveling, while also holding her surf board.

As far as her family went, they seemed to be quite a close family, all of them getting along with each other quite well. They have a lot of family events, like gaming night and such like that. Or just going out and doing stuff together. There seems to be a rather lax view on what their children do, too. They aren't about overly restricting them, by not allowing them to do so until they're a certain age. Wander town? Just be careful. Go around and party? Don't drink too much, don't do hard drugs, don't do anything too stupid, don't drink and drive, and just generally be safe. Become sexually active? Well, it's only human nature. Just make sure you listen to all of the sex education they taught you and be safe about it, or don't get caught up in it all too much and get stupid about it. They've all been taught endless details about all of that. Their thoughts seemed to pretty much come down to "Your dad and I had sex at 16, then married and had you guys at 18. It is only natural you'll experiment no matter what we tell you to do even if we cared", or something along those lines. They seemed to simply carry on with various things like this when it came to what their children did, like don't commit any major crimes, drive safely, yadda yadda, making their children quite open to things in the world, no matter what it was. And really, it seemed to be a good approach for their children, at least most of them. Lastly, their family house looked like this

Now for more on Selena herself, she seems to like just having lots of fun. She's always wandering around town, as implied above, going to various shops, food places, events, and so on. She seems to love just enjoying a cities culture, and exploring it, finding things to do. But of course, she spends a large chunk of her life on the beach itself. She is a swimmer and surfer by heart, so it makes sense. Has spent many days and nights on the beach, lounging, having campfires, partying, whatever. The beach is practically her life, and she wouldn't know what to do without it. The beach is probably where most of her first kisses with dates have happened, and likely her first kiss period, though that was more of a test and they quickly decided that they lacked chemistry, and kept with just being good friends. That would be Eric. Since then, she has had various dates and short term relationships, but none really clicked. She seemed to have a thing with not really minding dating, though, so if one didn't work out, she tended to just move on with her life and eventually go for the next person. She never seemed to bother dating too seriously, though did hope for something nice to happen. But so far, there has been nothing very long lasting, and currently, she is single. Beyond this, she was a long time friend with Eric, them knowing each other for quite a while. They even attempted to see if they felt anything for each other once, but it did not work out. Instead, they're just real good childhood friends who are probably there for each other when they need it. And she had been at this school since she was 14 years old, this being the start of her 3rd year, and hopefully, her best year yet.
RP Sample: An adventurous girl just trying to make the most out of life and enjoy her time here while it lasts.
Other: 1 of 3 siblings, and two parents. Her parents were Lora and Gabriel West, and her siblings were Landry and Richard West. Smokes a bit of pot here and there, but that's generally about it and doesn't do it all the time, just recreationally here and there. Wants to be a marine biologist. Likes vacations and road trips, and chilling to some nice road trip music at the same time. Seems to have a thing for psychedelic music, but isn't exclusive to that in the least, though does tend to have a general style.

[Kwadai]

I really like that character!

[Segral]

Name: Josh Turner
Sex: Male
Gender: Male (Binary)
Grade:10th
Role: Student
Birthday: June 15, 2002
Hometown: Jacksonville, Florida
Appearance:

Height, Weight, and Body Type: 6'0, 160 lbs, athletic
Personality: Josh is a guy who likes to have fun. He always questions why the world is so boring and bleak and depressing, and asks why things can't be light-hearted and happy. Needless to say, he's a child at heart, always getting super-excited about stuff and showing childlike enthusiasm. He's also a little sheltered, which was kind of a big punch in the face when he hit high school. He has a lot of energy, always needing to be busy or he'll go crazy of boredom. Get past all of his manic energy and craziness, and he's a very good friend who's very loyal, friendly, and kind. He's very social...sometimes to the point of flirting a lot, but that's just why his friends love him.

Like his best friend Larry and girlfriend Amy, he's a big hipster and minor media nerd, despite the jock appearance. He'll talk with you about weird rock music, new trends, and counter-culture all day. He doesn't care for TV and literature much, aside from shows like Spartan UTC, Sasuke, and Ultimate Beastmaster, which he often watches with Larry all day. Mostly, he loves video games, particularly JRPG's and platformers.

Sexual Orientation: 0 on the Kinsey Scale
Moral Alignment: Neutral

Personal Skills: Good athlete, specialty is baseball. Good at drumming. Very kind and loyal. Decent with children. Somehow really good at cleaning.
Personal Vulnerabilities: A bit clumsy and slow-witted, not always being the sharpest knife in the drawer. Isn't the greatest strategist. Can have a quick fuse. Has insomnia and sometimes requires sleeping pills.

Biography: Josh was born on June 15, 2002. He was always a very active child, often fussing and crawling and walking at an early age. Despite the fact that he picked up walking fast, it took longer than normal for him to start speaking, and when he did, it was somewhat erratically. It turns out, he had a stutter and was having trouble speaking.

When he was a little older, he started attending speech therapy to correct his stutter and help him speak better. This therapy continued for quite some time in his early life. But speech therapy wasn't the only thing giving him hassle. His parents divorced when he was five, and he never really got over it. He was absolutely devastated, and struggled for a while to adapt. He would have to change houses every month, and would have to deal with a new step-parents, and some new half-siblings. His mother married a new man that became Josh's stepfather, and his father married a new woman that became his stepmother. While he got along decently enough with his stepfather, sharing some common interests and acting cordially to each other, he despised his stepmother. His stepmother was a clear and obvious gold digger, who clearly married his dad for his lucrative job as the COO of a large start-up, and acted horribly to Josh behind his loving, but misinformed dad's back. He was cussed at, treated like scum, and even hit a couple times.

Compounding his struggles was his new half-brother Lucas who was born when Josh was 8. While he wasn't evil or anything like that, care of Lucas was generally handed over to Josh, basically just making him the caregiver of the baby. While he did love his little stepbrother, he was frustrated with how much responsibility was on his shoulders and how his freedom had been "taken away from him". He turned to video games and sports to relieve the pressure, going everyday to the local diamond to practice with friends, and exercising in his mother and step-father's new basement gym. This helped carry him through elementary and middle school, until he got some more hurtful news: His father and stepmother had died in a plane crash. And as the cherry on top, his mother, stepfather, stepbrother and him were all moving to Daytona Beach

Josh had a lot of difficulty adjusting to the move, but high school at CDA was made better by a couple things. The sports, those were always great. Band was tons of fun, and most of all, his two greatest friends in the world: Larry Fisher and Amy West. Josh and Larry met while Larry was trying to form an indie-rock band, and him and Josh met at auditions. After that, they were inseparable, doing sports, band, and basically everything together. Josh met Amy at homecoming, and the two hit it off, cementing their small circle of friends. In May, Amy and Josh decided to try dating, to which Josh was ecstatic. He had minor doubts because he thought Larry would be upset, but these fears were quickly dismissed.

RP Sample: ....
Other: Really likes psychedelic and space rock for some strange reason, as well as liking ambient.

[Eeri]

I don't see any issues with this application, per say, but could you expand a bit more as to the tomboy/girly dichotomy in her personality?

I suppose she's concerned with her appearance, likes wearing makeup but likes to garden as I mention. She's fine getting dressed up but mostly wears simple stuff like jeans, overalls, tees and tanks. I should mention she's been hunting and fishing too. That being said she's not very sporty or athletic. That what you're looking for, or do I need more?

[Corrian]

I really like that character!

Thanks!

--snip--

APPROVED.

[Imperial Esplanade]

Posing the rest of the apps to the Co-OPs as we speak.

[Imperial Esplanade]

Weak.

I've claimed twenty two, and I still have room for dessert.

I got sixteen mains myself. Already used five. Not counting minors.

Anyway, here is my app, sorry for the short bio but needed to get this out before I go on my trip.

Name: Melissa June Walraven
Sex: Female
Gender: Female (Binary)
Grade: 11th
Role: Student (Army JROTC Cadet)
Birthday: 17/02/2001 (I use DD/MM/YYYY)
Hometown: Bridgeport, Connecticut, United States of America
Appearance:

Height, Weight, and Body Type: 5'6, 120 lbs, very toned and fit but slightly bulkier than slim
Personality: To say the least, Melissa is a dedicated and focused teenage girl looking towards her personal future at heart and at a first impression, comes off as a serious but when in certain circumstances, she often leaves a personal impression of being a very icy character, too straight laced and way too serious for her own good, and that is normally the case when you encounter her during her events, such as JROTC and her sports, mainly swimming. However, she kind of opens up when she is relaxed and then switches to a friendly and open personality, and often can talk about various topics and events for a good session of time, although she is often noticeably guarded about several things mostly relating to her home life and her personal issues
Sexual Orientation: "0" on Kinsey Scale
Moral Alignment: "Lawful Good" Alignment
Personal Skills: Very athletic, well adjusted to sports, hiking and other long distance activities. Excellent swimmer. Intelligent and socially savvy. Good at reading and writing. Knows a bit of Krav Maga martial arts and knows how to fire a gun, mostly through shooting lessons and her dad teaching her.
Personal Vulnerabilities: Susceptible to following blind orders without question, even when it is wrong. Susceptible to peer pressure. Has a wound up and strict sense of black/white morality and actions, which sometimes leaves to big misunderstandings and logic gaps. Not very good at reading or taking jokes. Sometimes freezes up and has a brain scramble when stressed and under heavy pressure. Flippant and selfish at times. Suffers from severe abandonment and loneliness issues due to her dad's long deployments when he was in the military. Also thinks and laments too much about things in the past and present.
Biography: Melissa was born February 17th, 2001 to a middle class suburban family with a long history with the US military in the seaside city of Bridgeport, Connecticut, the heartland of the New England region of the United States. She was brought up in a loving, stable household, and had grown a strong connection to her younger siblings, Quentin and Jackie when they were born a few years after she was born, Quentin in 2002 and Jackie in 2004 respectively. Melissa, from a young and impressionable age, had a strong interest in academics, reading, fiction stories and swimming and those interests developed into her hobbies over time. When she was old enough though, started taking regular swimming lessons and as a bonus when her dad came home on leave, taught her how to fire a gun and went to lessons on how to fight, mostly with the Israeli martial arts Krav Maga when she was 15, and grew to be excellent at swimming and decently knowledgeable in the martial arts. She, although she didn't want to admit it at first, was a straight laced daddy's girl.

Despite her dad, who was in the US Army, often being deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq because of the War on Terror and the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, she appeared on the outside to have managed that aspect of being the daughter and child of a serving US Army solider serving overseas, usually expressing hope that her dad is defending her country and in addition to her hobbies of reading and swimming, her biggest dream from a early age to follow in her dad's footsteps of joining the United States Army. Privately however, away from her mom and her siblings, she lamented about not seeing her dad for long periods of time and this overthinking eventually developed into her fear of abandonment and loneliness, as she grew a outright fear of losing her dad, as she loved him dearly and couldn't imagine living her teen life without him physically or mentally by her side, even after he was honourably discharged from the US Army in 2015, after major combat operations ended in Afghanistan.

In the meantime, she went though middle school and the early part of high school in Connecticut pretty well, and despite her doubts about the entire experience, managed to gain valuable insight into what high school was like both academically and socially, and combined with her heavy studying, managed to succeed quite well and get good grades, while also managing to keep up with her hobbies, mainly swimming and homework. However, her overthinking also led her into other issues that she developed in her early teens, which was that her sense of moral compass was a bit too straight, her too serious public face, her lack of joke taking skills and her tendency to follow people's suggestions and authority orders too fast. However it was the good grades and her increasing independence that lead her parents to decide to send her to a boarding school, and after seeing a few choices, decided to send her to Coastal Daytona Academy in Daytona Beach, in the sunny state of Florida. Although she thought about being away from her parents and home for too long, she accepted that she was going to a new school.

After she got accepted, she quickly joined up with the Army JROTC program at the school when she found out about it, and it was the first step to follow her big dream of going into the US Army like her dad was. Now, it was the first day, and it was about to be her first year in Coastal Daytona Academy.
RP Sample: Blake Holsey
Other: Daughter of Patrick & Jainie Walraven (Patrick a former US Army Specialist sent to Afghanistan and Iraq and now a Connecticut Army National Guardsman & Jainie a former US Navy Petty Officer that served on several Arleigh Burke-class destroyers in the 1990s). Older sister of Quentin and Jackie Walraven. A member of the Army JROTC Program at Coastal Daytona Academy.

- Seems to be a bit of a conflict, regarding her personality strengths and flaws. She goes from being socially savvy to some rather significant social detriments. Either clarification or some cleaning up on that front ought to suffice.

- If this is her first semester at CDA, she would not have been able to sign up beforehand for the JROTC program as it would have been her first day. This can be easily remedied by, say, having her sign up for JROTC after the fact.

- Personality states he has lived a sheltered life, yet his application goes on to state he has lived quite a difficult one due to his mother's abusiveness toward him and the fact he was such a hands-on big brother. His generally naive outlook to the world's gloominess also appears to be rather unnatural as a result, yet that is a far more minor concern.

I need to get off discord and get on here more. How is everyone?

[Imperial Esplanade]

After reading the IC for the first time since my last Carrollton post, I've noticed a bit of an innocuous issue and potential meta-gaming.

Larry may not have known that Carmine bullied Timothy, assuming that is who he is referring to, for the reason being that it is the latter's first year at CDA.

I would clarify this with Axis first, however, as Carmine and/or Bethany may have talked about him.

Um, Timothy is supposed to be a sophomore though. He's in the same grade as Carmine and Bethany in the original app.

The way I read the IC seemed to suggest they were surprised to have seen Timothy at CDA, suggesting he was elsewhere for his freshman year.

Ah. They were surprised because they didn't expect to see Timothy at that precise moment. Since Carmine didn't spot him earlier, she assumed he must have managed to avoid her by checking in earlier or by just hiding in the crowd.

Also, I kinda intended for Timothy to have arrived before Megan, which was why it mentioned he "wasn't last in line, though he certainly wasn't the first" in the original post.

In that case, neither would be an issue.

Also, I will edit the post to change the direction that Megan is viewing Carmine, Bethany, and Timothy accordingly.

Always happy to clear things up.

Just wanted to let you know that I added a bit more detail in my previous post too. Nothing changed plotwise, but I mentioned the two girls noting how Timothy is rooming in CDA this year (since he commuted last year). I also added a bit of personal commentary by Beth in her section since I felt that was a little thin before.
