Gender: Female
Birthday: June 26, 1996
Face claim: Nicola Peltz
Family/Housemates: Naomi Reid (roommate)
Address: Montero
Personality: Brianna would consider herself to be a very straightforward person. She knows what she wants, and she'll do whatever she needs to get it. She's very stubborn, and sometimes she can be manipulative and controlling towards others if it seems like they can't get her whatever she wants.
When meeting new people, she can either be extremely outgoing, or not interested in whoever she's talking to. Sometimes she can be judgemental while meeting new people, and if someone doesn't interest her right away, sometimes it can be hard for her to want to talk to whoever again. She tends to be really snarky and sarcastic around everyone. She's also a very opinionated person, and she can rant about almost anything.
History: Brianna Alexia Raine was born on June 26, 1996, to Iris and Noah Raine in St. George, New York. Her mother was a failed broadway actress, and her father was a chef at a small restaurant. The two met when Iris got a job as a waitress, and they got together almost immediately. After six months of dating, her proposed to her and only two months later, they got married. A lot of people on each side of their family thought that they were rushing into it, but they never cared. After three months of marriage, Iris got pregnant unexpectedly, and at first, the two didn't know whether to keep the baby or not, but after long discussion they decided to keep it, even though they weren't the most financially stable. Nine months later, she gave birth, and the rest is history.
Brianna's parents always tried to give her as much as they could while she was growing up. Her parents constantly felt guilty about not giving her a lot because they felt as if they were robbing her of a better childhood. Nevertheless, they carried on with life without any major bumps on the road.
When she first started school, she was always one of the quieter kids in class. She never really learned how to socialize with other people, so she didn't make that many friends. However, she was fairly smart, and she usually made good grades.
Brianna started to become a lot more outgoing when she started middle school. She didn't have that many friends in elementary school, so she wanted to try to make some in middle school. In her first year of middle school, she was always awkward with others, not really knowing how to approach them, but she got better with it as more time passed. During the 7th grade, Brianna started to become a bit popular. She had a lot of friends, and she usually got along with everyone. She often went out with her friends, and she liked spending time with them. She managed to get pretty good grades during middle school.
While Brianna was in middle school, her parent's marriage started to crumble. The two constantly fought, whether it was about something as small as what to eat for dinner, or as big as finances. They tried to not fight with each other whenever Brianna was home, but whenever they did, she just ignored them. She thought that whatever they were fighting about would just resolve itself, and she didn't want to get involved.
Since a lot of her friends in middle school were going to high school with her, she retained some of her popularity throughout 9th and 10th grade. High school was a lot harder than she thought, so she tried to focus more on her schoolwork rather than her friends. Since she also wanted to start making money, she got a job as well, which was another reason why she couldn't hang out with them. Sometimes she felt bad when she couldn't be with her friends because of school, and work, but that feeling always went away because she knew what was more important.
While Brianna was in 11th grade, her parents told her that they were going to get divorced. Brianna was obviously upset with the news, but she never showed her parents (or anybody else, really) that it bothered her. Her parents would still live together because of financial reasons, but after the divorce, living with both of them never felt right.
Since Brianna became isolated from her friends, and focused more on her schoolwork, and her job, she lost a lot of friends in the 11th grade. She never really cared, because she was more determined about her future, rather than just going to parties, or hanging out with people she would never see again in 4 years. Sometimes she would hang out with friends, but she would only do it if she was done with whatever she needed to get done. When she finally graduated high school she was proud of her accomplishments, and was positive that she was gonna end up in a good college.
Going to college was something that was very important to Brianna, so she applied to as many as she could. All of the schools she applied to weren't in New York, because she wanted to go out of state, even though she knew it would cost more. She ended up getting accepted to a few colleges, and she decided to go to University of Barfield. Since her parents had a savings account for her since she was born, tuition wouldn't be a problem, and since Brianna usually saved whatever money she made from her job, flying over there wouldn't be too big of a financial issue for their family. So by the end of the school year, Brianna was ready to go to Montero.
Once she arrived in Montero, she had an issue. She realized that she really didn't have a place to live, and she was nervous because she knew she couldn't afford an apartment. Luckily, she found an ad for a person looking for a roommate, and once the two met, they immediately clicked. After getting to know each other, the person said that it was okay if Brianna moved in, and that they would split paying the rent.
Once the school year started, there was almost a sense of comfort because no one knew who she was. It felt like when she first started school, and she could be anyone. She usually tried to stay focused with school, but she did end up getting invited to parties a lot. Feeling like she missed out during high school, she went to them so she could socialize with people, and sometimes she might've hooked up with random guys or girls. She tried her best to try to balance her education, and her social life, but it proved to be challenging. She ended up barely passing at the end of the school year, so she decided the next year she would stop going to parties, and spend all of her time with school.
When the next school year came around, she became determined about school. Sometimes she couldn't help herself, and she went to a few parties, but for the most part she focused on whatever was important to her. A lot of her friends that were partygoers often wondered about her, but Brianna never really cared about them. Currently, she still attends University of Barfield where she majors in journalism, and is a waitress at The Tiki Grill.

Gender: Female
Birthday: January 15, 1996 (She's 20 years old)
Face claim: Willa Fitzgerald
Family/Housemates: Samara Nadvi (roommate)
Address: 35 Kelmscot Court, Barfield.
Personality: Gillian is a difficult person to talk to. She is kind but very emotionally distant. She smiles and cries just like any other person, but will often prefer to give a smile instead of cheering over something happy or stay completely stoic insted of crying over something sad. Some people can view her as seeming emotionless and cold.
She has difficultly opening up about her feelings and talking about her life. She has an extreme desire to please people, often hiding her true feelings about a subject unless it's something she is passionate about. Gillian believes in honesty and thus prefers to say nothing instead of lying about herself.
Gillian is insecure in her own identity, often wishing she was someone else instead. Her insecurity translates in how she interacts with people on a day to day basis. She means well, but she often says awkward and strange things, turning off the exact people she tries to impress.
Despite all of her flaws, Gillian is a very kind person, if not slightly uptight. She gives her all to the people she loves and would do anything for them. She is selfless, often donating her time to volunteering and helping out others.
Gillian is an extremely passionate and hardworking person, often giving her all into what she's been told to do, no matter how mundane the task at hand may seem. When it comes to talking about something Gillian is passionate about, such as music, she'll often start rambling and then stop herself mid-tangent in order to keep her cool.
History: Gillian was born in Los Angeles, California to Cassidy Parrish and Gordon Scott on January 15, 1996. She was an only, but she was always accompanied by her cousins, because most of her relatives lived within a one-hour radius of where she lived.
Gillian's parents were extremely uptight and rigid with their daughter. They both loved their daughter, but often couldn't show it in the way she needed. They never really said "I love you" to her, but preferred to show their affection by buying nice clothing and toys. Her aunts and uncles, and their kids, were slightly more relaxed and thus Gillian spent most of her free time with them.
The majority of Gillian's cousins were older than her, which led her to practically idolize them as the cool big siblings she never had. She desperately wanted to be like them and tag along on their adventures, but she was never allowed to do anything more than hang out at her cousins' houses. Gillian saw herself as boring in comparison to her cousins, and thus tried to do whatever she can so as to seem interesting.
When she was 9, Gillian asked her parents to let her pick up an instrument, so that she could impress one of her cousins who had picked up the electric guitar. Her parents let her begin the violin. Despite her initial thoughts that the violin was boring, Gillian kept these to herself and faithfully went to lessons. She eventually grew to enjoy playing the violin and want to make a life out of it.
When she was 11, Gillian's father got a new job in Barfield and thus took the family away. It was the closest Gillian had gotten to a temper tantrum since toddlerhood, screaming and crying and refusing to go. Gillian had difficulty talking to the other kids in school and had become practically dependent on her cousins for social interactions. She couldn't bear to see them go. However, eventually, Gillian's mother convinced her that the move to Barfield wouldn't be all bad, and thus she went.
Gillian spent middle and high school in Barfield. Because of her lack of social skill, Gillian dove into her studies for the first time and further into the violin, eventually becoming first chair violin in both middle and high school orchestra. Her first chair status made it easier for her to talk to people as a result of a common interest, and thus Gillian made some of her first friends in Barfield.
Among these friends was Haleigh. Haleigh was second chair violin and Gillian practically adored her. During freshman and sophomore year, Haleigh and Gillian were practically joined at the hip, doing everything together. Gillian would often help Haleigh with her schoolwork, and thus discovered that she was a good teacher. Subsequently, she signed up for Barfield High's peer tutoring program.
During her junior year, Gillian met Peter through tutoring him. Peter was a bit crass and rude, but Gillian thought that he was funny and fell for him. One day, after he showed her a math test that she helped him ace, he kissed her and they began a relationship. However, because Peter was her first boyfriend ever, Gillian began ignoring Haleigh to spend her time with Peter. Haleigh got mad, and subsequently made Gillian choose between her and Peter. Gillian chose Haleigh and broke up with Peter, though she said that they'd still be friends. However, both of these relationships remained strained until they all went off to college and subsequently lost touch. Gillian still harbors guilt over how she treated the both of them, and has sworn that she will do better next time.
In senior year, Gillian and her peers began applying for colleges. Most of the ones she applied to were far away from Barfield. However, in October, her father lost his job, which made her unable to pay for college. Gillian was accepted into her two top choice schools, Columbia University and Oberlin College, but had to decline in order to save money. Thus, she decided to go to Barfield Community College for two years and transfer out to UMB/UoB (idk i saw that you guys were gonna move some things and locations around and i don't know when you're going to do that so i just put both just in case?) afterward.
During this time, Gillian's father found another job and wanted to move the family to Georgia. However, Gillian wanted to stay in Barfield, not wanting to start over again. So, she found someone needing a roommate on craiglist and moved in with them. The apartment is farther from her college than Gillian would have liked, but to her, it's better than nothing. Gillian is currently double majoring in Psychology and Music Theory. She hopes to become either a concert violinist or a teacher in the future.

Im just bored so I'm going to rp with your character :-)

Hey party people,
I'm actually rlly excited and also nervous to reveal this but I'm gonna go ahead ANYWAY. Basically, over the past few weeks I've sort of had the idea to move this RP to tumblr so we could get more users and plots going and all sorts of stuff. I eventually told this idea to Blub who also agreed, and then after another week, we got Tanni on board in our cult. The end result? This blog.
Basically, on the first of July we're going to start advertising and stuff around Tumblr, hopefully finding some more users and stuff. If you're not familiar with tumblr roleplaying, we totally understand and get that. We'll try our best to be as helpful as possible in transitioning over, but they can be plenty of fun, I promise! We're not going to close the wiki or officially end the RP here, and you're definitely more than welcome to just RP here all the time. We're definitely not trying to stop you there.
If you are interested, you can apply, at the moment for up to five characters (until you get used to it). If you're interested but really unsure still, you can comment on this and list any FCs you wanna reserve while you think about which characters you wanna bring over. They'll be reserved for a week so you can make up your mind.
The PLOT?
Is almost identical to the plot here. Well, sort of. When we spoke ages ago about changing the neighbourhoods around? It's pretty much that. There are four neighbourhoods within Barfield. Blackwood Mountain remains the same, Lebeaux is the rich, gated community, Miduna Beach is the suburban beachside town, and there's CBD which is just what Montero was going to be with all the businesses and stuff.
Also, there might be occasional plot changes (like storms or something), which we have here on occasion anyway. ALSO, the final difference is that earlier in the year, there was an earthquake which has caused property prices to go down. Your characters don't need to change (although if they're under 15, they might need to be aged up a bit - sorry).
Any other questions?
Obviously, I can't anticipate every question, and this is definitely going to be a learning experience, but if you have any, please leave them. Also, if you would like to reserve any FCs, please post them here. (Note: If you try to reserve an FC that someone else is currently using as a character, the other person will still get first preference).
Anyway, let us know your thoughts.

Gender: Male
Birthday: August 28, 1995
Face claim: Dudley O'Shaughnessy
Family/Housemates: Mannie O’Nadrick
Address: 172 Harlem Road, Miduna Beach
Personality: Faust is a very calm person- he has a gentle voice, gentle movement, and a gentle approach to most things he does. Faust is for the most part kind and caring to others but if he is crossed, he stands up for himself. He doesn’t let rudeness pass by him. He will however stay relaxed when addressing it. He tends to get excited easily but he tries his best to hide his excitement so others don’t see him as too vulnerable. Faust is known by all his peers to be gentle and calm. However, his rough side comes out when he gets riled up, usually sexually. Intimacy turns Faust into a lion and he even admits himself that it’s his biggest weakness.
History: Faust was an accident to his single mother, Mannie. As much as she wanted an abortion, her parents would not let her as they believed she had to pay for her actions. Faust had to be held in a surrogate because his mother had scoliosis and was not going to be able to carry him. Because of the cost of the surrogate, his mother had to drop out of community college and work two jobs. Faust was born a whole month before his due date, August 28, 1995, but still healthy. As rough as Mannie’s life had been the last eight months, she didn’t feel ready to take care of Faust and highly considered putting him up for adoption but when she looked into his eyes holding him after his birth, she felt a connection with him and decided she wanted to keep him.
Mannie began to take care of Faust with the help of her boyfriend at the time, Fredo, who was a drug addict. Fredo told her that once he got clean off drugs, he and Mannie could start a family with Faust so Mannie stayed hopeful. As Mannie began to take care of Faust more and more, she realized how much work a baby really was and began to really dislike her. With the stress of two low-paying jobs, her relationship not showing any growth, and taking care of her baby, Mannie began to grow a lot of anger and she blamed it all on Faust.
Ever since Faust’s birth, tons of people talked about his appearance and said he was such a cute baby. His green eyes, fluff cheeks, and sweet smile. However, with Mannie’s disdain for her son, she never saw this- not until she realized she could profit off of it. Once Faust was around 2, she got him into modeling. It took Mannie some time to understand the modeling world but once she found her way around it, Faust became a hit. With his happy baby personality, he got many gigs and a lot of people liked him. As money rolled in, Fredo got closer to Mannie and quickly began to talk about marriage. Mannie was head over heels for him.
Faust’s modeling world became his foundation- his agents became parental figures to him, his work environment was his learning ground. Having Faust in school wasn’t a priority for Mannie, if he needed to be doing something for modeling she’d pull him out in a heartbeat. For the next 7 years the world of the O’Nadricks was like this. Faust didn’t have a close relationship with his mother. His mom worked a night job and used the money she and Faust made for herself and Fredo. Fredo continued to hint at marriage but never actually initiated anything. Eventually, Mannie found out Fredo was with her for her money and had numerous other side girls. This sent Mannie on a craze and she began to start drinking and partying more and more. She hired a nanny to take Faust to and from. Faust worried about his mother so at age 8, he called the cops to see if they could do anything. This only made Mannie angry and she threatened to put Faust out on the street if he got involved with her life again. The cops arranged for Mannie to get some help from a therapist. Because of Mannie’s condition, Faust was removed from his agency.
Faust began to focus on school while Mannie focused on herself. Faust’s babysitter looked after him most of the time, charging little as she knew Faust needed proper care. By the time Faust was 13, Mannie felt that she was ready to truly be in his life and mentally she felt healthy. Faust, more surprised than ever, was very excited for his mother to come back in his life. Faust then signed to a new modeling agency. The first year with his mother was very successful and the two began to grow close. But, once Faust turned 14, Mannie started arranging for him to do modeling gigs that were on the raunchier side but paid a lot. Faust didn’t exactly feel comfortable doing these gigs, especially because the new agency he was signed to was very unknown and he believed they were breaking some laws. Mannie however insisted that Faust do the gigs and soon became forceful about it. Faust fought his mother and agency on numerous occasions but always lost. When Faust was 16 he became very adversarial towards mom. Mannie kicked Faust out of the house and he went to live with his old babysitter in Nebraska, across the country from his mother. From there he finished high school, graduating a year and a half late due to all the time he missed in school.
At age 19, Faust filed a lawsuit against his agency and his mother. He won the case, putting a thick dagger in his relationship with his mother. He now resides in Miduna Beach where he plans on finding his path.
