Biography:
If you go to the 1200 on block of 17th Street Birmingham, Alabama you will find a quaint white home with green trim around the windows. You would look at the house. Perhaps thinking it was cute. Though the story of what laid inside is a story of racial discrimination with many events that might turn you away. Addiction. Abuse. Abandonment. Inside, the second bedroom down the hall on the right, lays a giant. That giant never had his father at home. His mom, though a sweet caring lady, was caught up in the business of his father, thus causing her to be sent to prison. She was a glutton for punishment. She herself, did nothing wrong, besides fall hopelessly in love with a bad man. Marcus’ father was a thug, a crook, drug dealer, thief. All words you can think of. Probably fit. Marcus’ mother knew he was those things, but she wanted to “fix” him. Thinking one day he would change. He didn’t. Now taking care of the giant is little old sweet Louise Miller.

When his parents would fight. His grandmother was there to fill his stomach with food, and his heart with love. With no shortage of love from his grandmother. It seemed Marcus was going to turn out alright. For awhile this was the case. He grew quickly and found a love for the game of football. Everything was ok until he hit around the age of 10. His father came back and had nowhere to live so he found his way into the basement, where he got started with his old ways. To gain the trust of his young impressionable son Marcus’ father would bring home gifts regularly, bought with what would later to be discovered as drug money, for Louise and Marcus. He disguised his earnings as good investments and an honest working man’s wages. Which some of which were true. It fooled everyone, Marcus’ father did seem to be rehabilitated. One weekend Louise was sent away on a riverboat casino trip while Marcus and his father bonded. They went to the pool. Got ice cream. Everything seemed to be fine. Then later that night as they watched cartoons. His father told him of a treasure chest filled with money if he ever had to go away again. An hour later. A knock on the door. How harmless. As Marcus’ father went to open the door. It was kicked down. A group of swat men flooded into the house. Yelling and giving orders. Marcus just hit the floor and did as the members of the swat team told him to. As his father was dragged he told Marcus. “I love you son, Daddy will fix this. I love you” His grandmother Louise picked him at the police station a few hours later. She swore his father off and told Marcus he better not get involved in that life. He kept the treasure chest location safe for months

One day he overheard his Grandmother talking to his Great Aunt Alma about money problems and he then told them about the treasure chest his dad had told him about. Alma and Louise having no other plan for the cash decided to entertain this idea but primarily thought of it as a way to keep Marcus entertained. Much to their surprise. About 30 minutes of digging later they did find an old wooden military ammo box. Inside was jewelry, and stacks of cash. They were overjoyed to say the least. Marcus would be taken care of all the way up to college.

A few years down the road Miller was headed down the path of his father. He was staying out late, skipping school, drinking, doing drugs. His grandmother never knew of most of this but when she did find out. She tried to coddle him into changing. Knowing of his history she didn’t want to push him away. He and her were best friends and her “little” Marcus would always be little to her. When he was expelled from school Louise knew she had to do something. She tried Scared Straight programs and other things. She then as a last ditch effort used part of the money to send him to a boarding school in Florida. Will this help him? We will find out...

As mentioned via Discord, a few certain things have been delaying progress, but I intend to advance things ICly no matter what by tomorrow to ensure a healthy amount of activity remains.

On a side-note, nearly everyone has conglomerated inside of the lobby thus far -- but have just been waiting around for some sort of interaction.

For those who are comfortable with doing so, particularly veteran roleplayers, it is highly suggested that you take the initiative to have your characters interact with the others.

It will help with the Co-OPs and myself as we try to make sure everyone remains engaged rather tremendously, thank you.

Cool will get another post up soon

[Alaroma]

I was told to prepare a post, am I in the green?

[Corrian]

And I've just been gambling work and RPing. Haven't really managed it yet because I'm so tired after work. Especially now that my cashier training is done funny enough, because I seem to have been doing more hard labor stuff But I am going to get a post or two up today.

[The V O I D]

I am going to try my hardest to get my post ready before I go to bed, so at the very least I'll have posted before tomorrow.

Name: Yanna Laawngthanganhidikhun(เยนนะลองทำงานให้ดีขึ้น)
Sex: Female
Gender: Female
Grade: N/A
Role: French Teacher; Teaches Mandarin Chinese and Thai as extracurriculars
Birthday: 05/06/1978(June 5, 1978)
Hometown: Bangkok, Thailand
Appearance:

Height, Weight, and Body Type: 5’4”, 114 lbs, on the slim side
Personality: Yanna is generally a rather polarising teacher, as, while she is generally considered rather nice and tolerant towards her students, the rules are a thing that she does not take lightly. One moment, she may be lending a student money to pay for a snack and expecting nothing but a future favour in return, then the next, issuing a disciplinary report to any student who to make a sound out of turn in her hearing range during an all-school assembly. In general, while quite relaxed in most other areas, and very much amiable, Yanna is certainly not one to dare participate in or tolerate deviance from the appointed protocols, which occasionally causes issues with fellow teachers who hold standard practices in a somewhat lower regard.
Sexual Orientation: 0(Straight)
Moral Alignment: Lawful Good
Skills: Yanna is a woman of keen intellect and, while occasionally slow to react, has an excellent memory, capable of remembering not only the vocabularies and workings of four languages, but a multitude of other matters, most notably who she can draw upon for favours for aiding them in the past, and exactly what she did for them if a reminder is needed. She has a knack for utilising older technologies as well, as her schooling experience was rather outdated technologically.
Biography: Yanna was born in Bangkok to two parents from Taiwan. As a result, she grew up with a very much mixed cultural upbringing. While in most social and education aspects, her upbringing was scarcely different than any natively born Thai, her home life was not unlike what one would see back in Taiwan. For, while her parents had fled Taiwan to escape the White Terror, in their attitudes, it was if they had never left. Throughout her childhood, Yanna was imbued with the same dogmatic sense of adherence to the rules that pervaded her parent’s thoughts even after having abandoned their native land in which the White Terror still reigned, bringing her to, even today, have a near spiritual reverence for the law of the land. Thus, with this attitude, her school experience was very much stressful, but nonetheless quite successful.
Primary and secondary school came and went, and a college education came around. Having adored french as a schoolgirl, Yanna decided that she would go on, and study the language further. In college, she met a fellow Chinese Thai, and the two fell in love. One thing lead to another, and, as Yanna finished her college education, the pair married and had their first child. As the years progressed, it became apparent that they were not meant to be, and, as their child neared the age of 10, Yanna and her husband divorced, Yanna adopting his surname to remain close to her daughter. After winning custody of her sole child, she set out to find work far from her homeland to begin anew. It was then she found her current job as a french teacher at Coastal Daytona Academy. With all of her affairs in order, Yanna and her child set out to begin anew in America, and, with all the changes that have occurred, have remained vigilant in their new home, even as her child now enters high school.
RP Sample: I could find something better, but this should suffice.
Other: At the moment, I don’t think I have anything to add here.

[Imperial Esplanade]

Name: Mongkut “Luann” Laawngthanganhidikhun(มงกุฏ“ลูอัน”ลองทำงานให้ดีขึ้น)
Sex: Male
Gender: Female (Transgender)
Grade: 9th
Role: Student
Birthday: 29/04/2003(April 29, 2003)
Hometown: Bangkok, Thailand
Appearance:

Height, Weight, and Body Type: 5'7”, 125 lbs, slender in build
Personality: Luann, much like her mother, has two distinct sides to her. While referred to as “brilliant” by even some of her teachers, and usually quick to help classmates of her own volition, she is rather lazy in comparison to most of the other “smart kids” in her grade, resulting in a lower GPA compared to what other, particularly her mother, expect of her, although she herself sees no issue with a weighted 4.0 GPA, and much prefers dry humour and sarcasm to actually studying in a group. She is not, by any means, an extrovert, which does result in her other side showing its face when she becomes tired of seeing other people, or is just already in a bad mood. Her foul-tempered side is most marked by her irritated mumblings in a mishmash of Thai, English, Mandarin, French, and pure gibberish, and seemingly heavy and jerky bodily movements. When she happens to be in an off mood, as others who aren’t close friends of hers are quick to learn, trying to bring her out of it by interacting with her tends to be a particularly bad idea, and has gotten her very near to trouble in her middle school years.
Sexual Orientation: 3(Bisexual)
Moral Alignment: Neutral Good
Skills: Much like her mother, Luann has a sharp mind, though unlike her mother, she lacks quite the same drive for success and strong long-term memory. What she lacks in long-term memory, she more than makes up for in other ways, as she can quite easily juggle making multiple plans while reviewing with few problems, so long as she does so when fully awake and in a short enough time span. As well, she shares her mother’s knack for languages, and, unlike her mother, is not as content with Thai, English, Mandarin, and French, although she is not as fluent in the latter.
Biography: Mongkut, if anything, had a very much normal childhood for a Thai kid, although she, then he, had little interest in the outdoors, which sometimes caused some difficulty with making friends as a young child. Despite this one issue, most other aspects went relatively without issue. Then the divorce occurred, and, within a year, Mongkut was in a new nation, surrounded by new people, and speaking a language which before had been relegated to the classroom.
Sixth grade and seventh grade came and went, with the chief issue being English practice, and then finding friends, but the summer between seventh and eighth grade proved to be far more earth-shattering than anything Mongkut had dealt with before. In Thailand, her aunt brought her to see a local Kathoey beauty pageant, and, after having the opportunity to speak with one of the contestants, something seemed to inexplicably click within Mongkut. On the outside, nothing changed, but, deep down, something stirred within Mongkut, as if a new part of her soul was awoken. A summer research later, and Mongkut came out to her mother upon returning to America.
As her final year of middle school progressed, with the help of her mother, Mongkut began to lay the foundations for her tentative transition, and was even able, with some difficulty, to get a hold of puberty blockers. As eight grade drew to a close, Mongkut’s English nickname became Luann at home and outside of school. The summer before high school proved to be one of great progress, and coming out to most of the immediate family was rather simple, though her grandparents had some trouble quite understanding the concept of an individual being either trans or a kathoey. Upon her return to America, just before her enrolment at Coastal Daytona Academy, Luann was surprised to find that her mother had managed to punch through the healthcare system’s bureaucracy and get her daughter placed on a waiting list to perhaps be prescribed Female hormones. With such news in hand, Luann now begins her first year of high school with an optimism unusual for her.
RP Sample: Link to a RP, or a post, is preferable, though a written example of talent-level is acceptable - no shorter than a three or four sentence paragraph
Other: One way to tell Luann’s mood very easily is by her handwriting. If her handwriting grows sharp and angular like runic writing, then it’s a surefire indicator that her mood is a foul one.

[Imperial Esplanade]

Due to the growing overabundance of Asian characters present in this roleplay, we are putting in place a temporary ban on new Asian/Islander character applications effective immediately. Current submissions are NOT affected by this decision. We highly encourage more Latino characters.

[The V O I D]

I really am just going to drop the post as-is pretty soon. I think I may have overdone it, I dunno. I'll try to finish it or crunch it down tonight.

[Imperial Esplanade]

Some news of the unfortunate sort, that I had shared with some of you already -- my computer had died on me, which means my activity may very likely nosedive for the foreseeable future (being I do not post on my phone). Thus, I highly suggest that you all interact with each other for the time being. I may be able to get off an occasional post from my laptop, but one should not expect much from me for the next week or so due to this technical difficulty. Thank you for your understanding, and I apologize in advance for this inconvenience.

Name: Olympia Akhanteros
Sex: Female
Gender: Female (Binary)
Grade: 12th
Role: Student
Birthday: 09/11/1999
Hometown: Egypt, Texas, United States
Appearance: See Top Right Spoiler (Links to higher resolution).
Height, Weight, and Body Type: 5'11, roughly 195 lbs. Heavily Athletic frame.
Personality: Amiable, willing to aid anyone in any situation, and with the stereotypical 'southern hospitality' mentality that those from the Southern US have, Olympia is somewhat of an altruist, seeing the route of causing physical or mental anguish in another person as the absolute last resort.
Sexual Orientation: 4
Moral Alignment: Lawful Good
Skills: Open Water Dive certification, First Aid certified, exceptionalknowledge of animal husbandry.
Biography: Olympia was born to an ethnically Latvian mother, and a Greek father on a ranch near Egypt, Texas. Her early life was one spent mostly in the great outdoors, either swimming in nearby lakes or helping out around the ranch where she could. As she grew older, her responsibilities on the ranch expanded, as did her capabilities, both physically and mentally. Spending a good deal of time split between academics, and farm life, Olympia's rather expansive family of 4 other siblings -her being the eldest- kept her social life somewhat stable, having more than enough interaction with peers of a similar mind frame and demeanor. She also spent a lot of time with her extended family, either at get together or out on her aunt and uncle's boat, snorkelling -and with time- Scuba diving. Olympia became quite the swimmer, an instinct that remains even into her late teens.

As Olympia entered her teens her middle school was visited by a US Navy recruiter for career day, and as a result, Olympia became infatuated with the praises of those who serve going new places, meeting new people, and becoming hometown heroes. So she started looking into it. She started honing her body beyond what normal farmyard work caused. After a few months, her body started to rival that of her brothers in size, the habits and lifestyle having been quickly adopted by the young woman. Soon after she started researching the requirements to become a US Navy Corpsman.

As she entered into highschool, she'd become a bit wiser, realizing that the military wasn't too good of a career choice, her habits and physical aptitude withstood the age of skepticism and insecurity. Regardless of her career choice, she figured she could use a change of locale for a year. Eventually enrolling in Coastal Daytona Academy for her senior year. Thoughts of a military life still stirring in her head, along with uncertainty and second thoughts.
RP Sample: Already been accepted.
Other: Owns and drives a 2003 Nissan Xterra.

He grew up and is in the upper-middle class lifestyle. When he was 4, the family moved to Daytona Beach, since his mother had gotten a better job offer at a local business. At the age of 5, he fell in love with baseball, and is a great player, especially for contact and fielding.

RP Sample: In a bar in downtown Stonebridge, people were partying.
Wait, isn't that most bars?
Anyway, the handball die-hards in Stonebridge were all gathered at The 4th Street Bar and Grill, celebrating the fact that North Prarie had clinched a spot in the HBWC20 knockout stages. North Prarie didn't have a handball league, so the players on that team were from college teams, semi-pro, or even just neighborhood teams. Some were even like the partiers at 4th, the self-proclaimed Eagan Hills Handball Associaton. There was many associations like that around North Prarie, from Loon City to East Lake. Should North Prarie make it past the round of 16, the associations planned to gather in a convention center and form a official North Prariean handball association. These partiers at the bar were the future of hanball in North Prarie

I have written longer RPs, but people think that this is my best one.

[Segral]

Prairie, while I'm not an OP, your app looks a bit like a Gary Stu, in the way that he appears to be good at everything. Music, theater, academics, sports, everything. Maybe you should tone him down a bit.
