Secrets in an Open World (Kali, Fang, Myself c:)

[EmLenore]

So I'm rushing to make this real quick. I'm not sure what to say. I have a lot of homework for the next few days. Due to my forgetfulness, I fell behind on an assignment and things have pilled up. I'll try to reply to this periodically this week.

[Kali2]

Clara

Spoiler

Birthday: February 15th, 1995
Gender: Female
Sexual orientation: Heterosexual
Turn ons: Strong personality, Facial hair, Height is taller than her, Viking looks. (She loves historical romance and has a great imagination.)
Turn offs: Bad smells, anything unhygienic, long stares, obesity
Hobbies: Exercising, cleaning, reading, walking, swinging in the park near her apartment
Job: She’s a night maid at a few near by hotels
School: She is in online schools with an undecided major.
Family: Her mother and brother live in the suburbs of the city and call often. Her brother, Nikolai, is only 13 so he stays with Tyren, her mother. Clara’s father walked out on them a few weeks after Nikolai was born. They weren’t soulmates so it wasn’t that big of a surprise. Her mother took up a few more jobs and relied on Clara to help with her brother and the money issue. She still sends money home but she moved out due to the commute that her new better paying jobs took. They were still only a few dollars over minimum wage but it was enough. She liked her job because it was a night position. No one saw her outside of the other employees and they were already used to the blankness of her arms.
Bio: When she was a little girl her mother would tell her stories of the joys of the names that were written on the arms of all adults that surrounded her. She said that with the name came a person and with that person came unconditional love, affection, and acceptance. Someone who perfectly fit her and would be there for her through just about anything. As Clara grew older she fantasized about her soulmate, reading romance novel after romance novel and imagining the perfect man to take her away from the home that was literally falling apart around her. How ironic the world was as she never got a name to show up, she just inherited an aversion to food and an obsessive need for exercise leading up to a massive weight loss over the span of the first year of living alone. Only the beautiful find their soulmates and she knew that only the skinny were beautiful. She was determined.
Looks:
Home: She lives in the top floor of an old apartment on the southernmost side of town, technically her room was the old maid’s living quarters as the building was over 100 years old. She counted the steps and she could take about 5 long strides from wall to wall not including the closet that held a toilet and a small shower. The sink was in the kitchen that held far outdated appliances, a wood burning stove was one of them. The floor was a water stained tile like material, although she has never been able to determine the exact type used, while the walls held a peiling beige wallpaper that had been darkened by years of smoke damage. She herself didn’t do anything of the sort but she knew the previous owners were heavy smokers as everything was practically stained with the scent no matter how many candles she had constantly lit. She has a window that looks to the building next to hers and her single bed is rested right underneath it, books and plants are splayed everywhere in a sort of makeshift green space.

Just gonna post so this is bookmarked for me and to say hello.

I haven't thought too, too much about my character so far but he'll be a male.

If we wanna talk possible plot points or character relations pre-RP-start (whether they're existent or not), I'm down.

Also, like Lenore I have a TON of homework in the next three days so my activity may be spotty. It's my finals week so I'm a bit swamped.

[EmLenore]

So here are few things we should discuss.

Firstly; the world in which we reside? How alike is the world to our world? Is the history the same besides the soul-mate on your arm? Is the world farther along in technology than we are? Is this set more in the future? Somewhere where we would consider the past?

Secondly; which relationship would we want to pursue. Polyandry or polyamory. Polyandry is where my character would only have both of your names on her arm, but you two would only have her name. Polyamory is where we all would have each others names.

Thirdly; what ratings are we going to have on language, maturity, sexual content, etc.?

What plot points were you guys thinking about?

Fang what do you mean by "character relations pre-RP-start"?

[Kali2]

My character, she seems to be leaning towards heterosexual as a sexuality. and is this RP centered around your character or is it a free form kind of deal?

[Kali2]

Sorry to double post but she is up maybe the male has two names? I don't really know, I'm willing to try whatever though. Also! I'm thinking more of our world kind of thing with present day technology just because it will be easier to understand and write about. I'm okay with all levels of maturity I just won't write extreme smut. As in it stops for me at insertion. Long story short I had a bad experience and get panicky and anxiety when it comes to it.

[Fang]

I'm in agreement with Kali about the time period for the same reason, it's easier to write about. And as far as maturity goes, I'm very comfortable with virtually everything. So wherever the limits are for you two (I have already mentally noted yours Kali!) then I'll adjust my writing to fit that.

As for the relationship, I'm alright with anything really because Joe Shmoe (that's not his actual name I promise, he just doesn't have one yet ) is extremely undeveloped. As in, I know he's a male who identifies as a male. And that's about it. So whatever we decide on, I can adjust the ideas floating in my head to fit. If Kali's character is strictly heterosexual then maybe her suggestion makes more sense? But we can dabble with a bunch of different ideas, maybe exploring sexualities or something like that?

Also, what I meant by "character relations pre-RP-start" was deciding whether or not any or all of them had met or not before the start of the RP.

[Kali2]

I kind of like the idea that they don't know each other but since Clara is a blank arm maybe she hasn't met either yet? If you want you two could start as a couple or have met? And I don't think anyone is really 100% set for one gender but she is very far on the male side of the scale.

[EmLenore]

Perhaps the reason for her blank arm is due that she was born from non-soulmates? That blankarms is becoming a rising issue as more and more people are having problems finding their soulmates?

I agree as well that Fang would then have two names upon his arm.

I also like the idea of having them not know each other before the RP starts. Maybe perhaps they meet up via some sort of convention or program within the community? Or maybe an online thing that is designed for people to search for their soulmates?

I was also thinking about those with common names how they can tell them apart from all the others out there. A symbol will appear next to the name, a very unique symbol, and the person will have to find the symbol on their soulmates arm. Does that make sense?

We can definitely dabble in sexuality, I mean that's kind of one of the things I would want to explore within the role-play.

As for maturity, I'm all up for whatever you guys can handle. I mean, I do not want this to be smut driven or have that be the main focus, but that will definitely be apart of this. So we should exchange emails eventually. Also, if you guys know what proboards is, I can set up a site just for this role-play so we are not limited to the format of emails.

[Kali2]

I feel like email would be a bit of a hassle so if we want to set up a different form for the more Rated R plot points I'm up for it. But I kind of like this forum set up so would we be able to use this most of the time? And im cool with it being like a bit get together, but maybe they dont find each other all at one event? That seems like it would be too big of a coincidence. I love your blank arm idea though! and the symbols!
