Oh yes. Year three of university? And you're finally home for the long, four month summer. What could go wrong? Nothing! You'll be with family, see old friends, and that's right - hang out at the diner! Oh how you missed that place. So many memories....
___
Okay hi. What a cheesy and short intro. Wow. This is a six person rp about the lives of of unruly young adults coming home to their small town after a few years away at school. They will be encountering old friends, lovers, and whatever else.
___
A few rules:
The rp is only for six 'main' people, preferably 3 girls and 3 boys - but this can change if need be. In addition, join with as many side characters as wanted.
Let this be reasonably literate. If all you can post one day is one small paragraph (7 sentences) thats a okay, but dont go under that please <3
umm - be nice, no bullyin or anything
lgbtq+++ and all that is a heck yes so. yes.
Be as active as you can - especially if youre one of the six. but honestly, this will hopefully be chill enough that we can slowly progress things. So no pressure.

|Emily Walters|Female|24|
Em is short tempered. An Aries – to the T. She is very motivated, and goal orientated. Yet, she rarely finishes what she starts, as she sets her heart on new endeavors. Quite often changing her interests. She often gets burst of what seems to be her being extremely rude, yet she has simply fallen in the slumps – having a burst of uncalled sadness. Her hard exterior and determined mind set has helped her get through school – allowing her to be on top of her courses, she dreams of owning her own sports store one day, though now she is simply studying business management. Em is true to her program as she dresses business casual always – she’s in the now of fashion, always wearing sleek jeans (or dress pants), heels and blazers. She has long brown hair that is almost always in a bun, unless she has time to relax – in which case it’s in a ponytail. Her family isn’t too big, her being an only child. It’s the classic daddy’s little girl situation, yet she isn’t quite as close with her mom. If anything, they say hi sometimes. It may have to do with Em being a lesbian, or maybe her mom is just wondering why Em still comes around if she’s a “professional business student”. Whatever it be, she’s still kind of happy to be home.

He is full of optimism and always sees the best in everyone. Drake was a jock back in high school, so he managed to get a scholarship by being good at football. He doesn't currently have a job or seem to really know where he's going with life and a job, mostly because he never suspected to be in college.

|Riley Capps
|Age: 23
|Female

Riley is a rather short woman, standing at only 5'4. Despite this, she has a powerful build and an athlete's body. Her skin is somewhat pale and she burns instead of tans, causing her to slather on the sunscreen the majority of the time when she goes outside. Riley has bright blue eyes and somewhat short golden blonde hair that doesn't fall far past her shoulders. Her skin isn't marred by many marks, though he has a scar across the back of her right hand and a few smaller ones on her wrist from surgery. Riley has a tattoo of a cross on the front of her left shoulder that's occasionally visible depending on which shirt she wears. She got it at the age of 20
. What Riley lacks in size, she makes up for in personality. She's stubborn and competitive and isn't one to let others tell her what to do. She's got a bit of a temper, but had learned to control it. She's always up for an adventure. Riley can be reckless and doesn't always think about consequences, but when someone is there to remind her to slow down and think about things, she can actually be very good at coming up win plausible ideas. She's good at lying, but can be blunt and honest when with her friends. Everyone that's close to Riley knows they can count on her to give her opinion without sugar coating it. She's deathly loyal to her friends and family, and threatening or hurting them will make you a permanent enemy of hers.
Riley grew up near the middle of the pack in a family with seven kids. She was always one of the leaders of her and her siblings, so nobody had realized that she was working on her little writing project. Her first book was published at the age of 16. The second at 18. And the third at 19. Her family is one of the biggest influences in her life and played a big part of making Riley who she is. She's also ridden horses since the age of 12 as a side hobby that she was able to do in exchange for work since her parents refused to pay for the lessons. She moved around a few times as a child, but around middle school is when her family decided to stay where they were. Riley is currently in school to be a vet as well as writing on the side. lives with her older brother, Finn. Heterosexual

|Clara Dover|Female|Sexuality: Demi|Age: 23 1/2|
Clara is short and has a baby face, which means she's often mistaken as being younger than she actually is. Her hair is cut short so she doesn't have to bother with it and her tanned skin is left untouched by makeup. She doesn't deny that she has a slight chub to her. Her hair is a light brown and eyes are gray.
When she gets nervous, Clara acts very childish. Otherwise she usually keeps to herself, writing stories or day dreaming. She is usually very patient unless you're insulting something or someone she likes.
Her family lives on a ranch, and she'll most likely be living in one of the cabins they usually use for camps. She has a horse named Quest.

|Simon Levinsky|Male|Age: 23|
Simon is a little tense, more on the jumpy side and has pretty bad anxiety, to the point where he can rarely talk to strangers outside of his work. However, if you can get him used to you, you quickly find he's a sweet guy who can even be pretty sarcastic at times. He's a stubborn as a mule, though. If he doesn't want to do something, there is almost no chance that you can get him to do so. He's lanky, with a build of about 5"7'. Despite him being rather short he does have long legs for his height, and is pretty lean, with a slight muscle tone. He has palish skin that is lightly freckled and wide blue eyes that had behind glasses. He has wild black hair that cannot be tamed, it's thick and curly. He has a few scars, and is missing his leg, although it's hard to tell because he's mastered the art of walking as normally as possible. He does like poking fun at it, sometimes, especially with his halloween costumes, or freaking people out by "accidentally" dropping a knife on his fake foot.
Has a cat named Ajax, and works as a photographer. He will go into the city for his job, and to him the daily commute it worth it. He works for a few companies, taking photos for their year round conferences and makes enough to live comfortably. He has a little sister named Layla, who is currently twelve. She lives with their uncles, Cecil and Marcus. He showed up in this town their eighth grade year, during his cancer treatments to live with his uncles, along with his sister, but he hasn't told anyone why he ended up living with them. He hasn't left the place since. He's definitely gay.

|Hudson Sawyer |22 |Male | Pansexual
|
While Hudson is lean of body and an tall at a height of 6’3”, he doesn’t have much to show for muscles. He comes from a mix of European ethnicities, making his skin slightly tanned, yet still light in color. Although his natural hair color is black, the top of his head is dyed pastel blue with lavender tips. It is normally tamed under his favorite cap colored with thick black and grey stripes, turned backwards, and his bangs swept to the right side of his face. His eyes are a dark grey color. Both of his ears are pierced with circular black studs. Freckles dot his cheeks, the bridge of his nose, and his forearms. Hudson practically lives in dark colored sweatshirts and loose fitting clothing.
Hudson is quite courteous and generous, he'll often surprise his favorite customers with a milkshake from his pay check. His ambitions and thrill-seeking tendencies have been kept in check in taking care of his adopted mother. He always has a sense of curiosity, and is plagued by social anxiety. He puts his trust in the wrong kinds of people, but wants to see the good in people. Some may call him naive or oblivious, seeing as he's always willing to forgive someone. He prides himself in being honest and loyal, and is a hopeless romantic.
When Hudson was little, around the age of six, his mother was killed in a car accident with an eighteen wheeler on a highway. His father, incarcerated for murder was unable to take him in, so he was placed in a foster home. Hudson was lucky enough that the first woman to foster him, an elderly widow, fell in love with his charm and adopted him. He grew up happily, until his mother began her battle with lung cancer. Instead of chasing his dreams to get a higher education and become an engineer, he found a job to provide for his adopted mother. It was then, at the age of 16, he found himself applying for his first job at the diner. It wasn't the perfect job, but he fell in love with the late night shifts that brought high school students to bond over milkshakes and burgers with fries. Recently, his guardian passed away, leaving Hudson to figure out how to tie up loose ends.
