      i n t o__t h e__o c e a n . . .

      I'm just a normal boy
      That sank when I fell overboard
      My ship would leave the country
      But I'd rather swim ashore

      Without a life vest I'd be stuck again
      Wish I was much more masculine
      Maybe then I could learn to swim
      Like 'fourteen miles away'


      Now floating up and down
      I spin, colliding into sound
      Like whales beneath me diving down
      I'm sinking to the bottom of my
      Everything that freaks me out
      The lighthouse beam has just run out
      I'm cold as cold as cold can be...
      be...

      I want to swim away but don't know how
      Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean
      Let the waves up, take me down
      Let the hurricane set in motion, yeah
      Let the rain of what I feel right now come down
      Let the rain come down


     
                                                    the plot

                                                    Once upon a time, there was a forlorn American girl who going nowhere in life. She, along with her twin brother, lived with their mother who constantly overworked herself to exhaustion as a brain surgeon in downtown Chicago. Her twin was the only thing keeping the girl alive. However, her luck changes when she and her family get the chance to move all the way over the big pond to Dover, England. Little did she know that soon her life would be filled with more and the little amount of adventure she was looking for and possibly even more surprises. For in this little town called Dover, there lives a dangerous boy with powers so uncontrollable, they could destroy whole cities in one outburst. All he wants is revenge on the father who ruined his whole life, but will he demolish more than just one person? And will she end up saving this treacherous villain or become a victim along with the rest of England? You’re the one with the power to decide.
 
     
 
                                                    the characters

                                                                        the heroine


                                                                        Always the hopeless dramatic, she dreams for something more meaningful to her life than just motherless days with nothing except a blank easel and some instruments. Sure, art is great and everything, but she eventually runs out of inspiration. That's why she's excited to be in England, so maybe something great can find her and she can finally leave her grey, boring bubble of a life.

                                                                        female | taken | maroon | Maisie Barrett | Itchy Wool Sweater




                                                                        her twin brother


                                                                        He was never as needy as his sister. In school, he always fit in with the crowd. He's a smooth talker, loyal, and just an all-around good friend. That's why he's always there for his sister whenever she needs him. But when he moves over to a new place, he fears a bit that his powers may not work on the oh-so-classy ladies of England. But not to fear, girls won't be the first thing on his mind.

                                                                        male | taken | teal | Stephan Kaige Barrett | The Lickle Duckie




                                                                        their mother


                                                                        She's a workaholic who almost has no time for her children what-so-ever. But she tries to be there when she can. Hey, at least she can support her children with plenty of money to spare. Then what happens when excitement and things start to pick up? She tries to stay home, but duty calls. Her workaholic habits have caused her to be a bad mother, but she still expects her kids to be normal. When she finds out what will happen, how will she react?

                                                                        female | reserved | darkkhaki | Marilyn Barrett | Itchy Wool Sweater




                                                                        the accused villain


                                                                        With the amazing power of technology and the mind of a mad Scottish genius, he was actually the first human ever to be created instead of born. But the scientist took it too far with his experiments and eventually ended up thinking that his experiment had died. So what happened next? He disappeared into the ocean for years until he finally re-emerged angry, gained a power to freeze people's souls, and grew full of vengeance for a ruined childhood.

                                                                        male | taken | orange | Wesley Fulford | Hakuna Kakuna




                                                                        the best friend


                                                                        She's lived in Dover all her life. She knows the region better than herself. She's a really down-to-Earth kind of girl with a very very wild imagination. Most can't handle her vision of the world, except for our heroine and her brother, which keeps her from going crazy (or at least more than she is already).

                                                                        female | taken | paleblue | Bethwyn Marie Kingsley | its b l a s p h e m y




                                                                        the real villain


                                                                        He's a mastermind with a great job and prizes galore. But what does he really want? Only to be known as the smartest man who ever lived. But his biggest fear is time. For he's already in his late 30's, and even though he has made one of the world's greatest and worst creations, he just wants to go down in history. But how far would he go to do that?

                                                                        male | open | color | name | username




                                                                        his son


                                                                        At the scientist's greatest times of peril, he had a son to help him coax it through the rough times. But the son of a mad genius can only take so much. With the whole creation and the anger of his father after he left, the poor son couldn't even stay in his own home anymore. So he and his mother bought an apartment on the south end of England to try and escape the horrors of the scientist's fury. But when both the scientist and creation find them again, his son has a newfound fear that might haunt him.

                                                                        male | open | color | name | username




                                                                        the victim


                                                                        For years, she had been a quiet, out-of-the-way girl until the supervillain came to town. On his first attack, the first to die were both her mother and little sister. So now not only has she become one of the scary quiet kind of girls, but the one who is starting to focus her life on taking revenge on the supervillain and what he did to her life.

                                                                        female | reserved | slategray | Abbey Jones | nevershoutnoor
     
                                                    the rules

                                                    Alright, I'm keepin' the rules short and sweet. Got any questions? Ask me.

                                                    1. overview

                                                    So here's the dealio, my fellow roleplayers. This is a roleplay based off of a story I'm trying to write, but I've got absolutely nothing so far. So I thought you guys could help me out. So no ******** around, please. You can make your character fun, but don't be mean unless it really calls for it. Kaythanks.

                                                    2. literacy / posting

                                                    I'm not asking for Moby d**k here, but seriously...if you've never flipped through a dictionary, then get out now. I really hate advanced literate, but if you MUST write out a page of words and make me look illiterate, I'm not holding you back. At the least, I ask for 2 or 3 good paragraphs. But it's really more about quality, not quantity. I also enjoy colorful posts, but don't overdo it with a crapload of borders and icons, etc. Be simple, but nice.

                                                    3. profiles / reservations

                                                    Send your reservations to me with your main color and your character's name and title it with the name of your favorite band. For profiles, you know how to fill that out and s**t. So just title it with your favorite song name.

                                                    And that's all I think is important.

                                                    2. Hakuna Kakuna for being the first to post on page TWOOOOO.

                                                    day: 28

                                                    what's going on: It's mid-day, so everyone's up and doing things. There hasn't been an "attack" from our villain, but he's been planning some things since he heard Daddy's back in town.

                                                    announcements

                                                    1. We're open! Start posting, my lovelies! o:

                                                    2. Oh, and I better explain some things. In my head, I imagined Wesley having a split personality, sort of. One, he's just a normal ol' boy living out life like he was the rest of the crowd. The other, he's a REAL super villain blowing s**t up in a costume and everything. So just to clear that all up for you guys. |:

                                                    3. Sorry, one more thing. I'm making the mom a minor character, so you won't be seeing her around that much. I didn't want her character to feel unloved.
 
     

and when they tell us


that love is a


primitive biological


attraction.
