Casimir Desjardines –– age tbd Hailing from the country of France, Casimir is quite out of place in the Grecian kingdom. He was born into a poor family in France, but his parents shipped him away to the far away kingdom of Greece to try and make a better life for himself. Growing up in France, French is his native language, though he has an arsenal of languages that he knows and has learned over time, so he can communicate properly in his new life. He was chosen as a squire when he was young, and has completed his necessary duties, working his way from squiring for lowly knights to lords to the future king of Greece. He even looks out of place, with pale skin, slightly tanned from working long hours, but still pale enough to be out of place. His hair is a strikingly light blonde color, that looks almost white. With blue eyes that are equivalent to the sea, Casimir could be considered quite handsome. He uses these looks to get his way, charming the servants into doing doing this and that for him. He was a hard-working boy, but as he rose in rank, he has begun to get lazier and lazier. He is skilled with a sword, and sometimes spars with the younger Pavlis boys. He is good friends with the future king of Greece, and tends be considered a bad influence on the prince, much to the King’s dismay. He has always openly considered himself bisexual, not seeing the fault in that, though he tends to be shunned by others for his openness about his sexuality, but he lets it roll off his back because he honestly doesn’t care what others think.

Do any of these interest you?
In the future, time travel is offered to normal citizens. It becomes extremely popular, but comes with specific rules. The most important rule is that you cannot mess with the timeline. You must blend in and just observe. Doing anything that may mess with the future is considered breaking a major federal law and will result in lifelong imprisonment. My girl is traveling back in time to do research for a history paper. While there, she sees your guy about to be hit by a car. She pushes him out of the way, saving his life. In the original timeline, your guy was killed and the driver went to jail when evidence found in his car revealed that he had robbed a bank. Because of my girl, the evidence is never found and he's never arrested. The driver goes on to be one of the most notorious serial killers in history. The Time Authorities see this and come to arrest my girl. Knowing she could get in trouble for this, my girl tells your guy that she injured her shoulder when she pushed him out of the way. Out of guilt, he takes her home and let's her spend a few days there. The two become extremely close over the next few days and my girl eventually tells him the truth. Everything. Where and when she's from. What she did. The Time Authorities. Her punishment. Trusting that she's a good person, your guy agrees to help her. He helps her fit in in his time period, avoid the Time Authorities, and eventually face them head on. (So this one is an idea I just recently came up with. It's still a bit foggy, so I'd like to clear a few things up and discuss this with whoever claims it.) Girl: Kit Willis (Eq) Guy:
Our two characters go to the same school. They're extremely competitive and extremely smart, both fighting for the top of their class, especially going into senior year. Because of this and the rewards they could get (scholarships, bragging rights, etc), they don't get along. At all. So what happens when their parents get married and they become step siblings? Will they be able to survive? Will they set apart their differences and get along? Will competition get fiercer? Me: Reggie Marks You:
Over summer, they fell in love. A two month vacation in Hawaii and they couldn't be kept apart. Until the vacation was over. They decided to break up, knowing a long distance relationship would never work. Fast forward to the beginning of the school year. Her family moved, forcing her to switch schools. They're both surprised to find out that her new school is his school. The problem? He's captain of the football team, popular, and is known to be a player. He refuses to settle down with one girl. She learns this quickly, and they avoid each other. But Hawaii is fresh in their minds. The feelings are still there. Are they destined to end up together again? Or to silently watch each other from across the room? Girl: Sarah Miller (Eq) Guy:
And I just copied and pasted them from my plots page

@ Bloss ;;
Levi Gosselin // Sunlight sifted through the clouds, the buildings of New York City casting criss cross shadows across the pavement. It was Levi Gosselin’s very first day working at the [insert name of law firm here (probably something we should have decided whoops! ^.^)]. Sure, Levi was a bit out of his depth here; I mean, what’s a biochem major doing working as a paralegal? Well, sorta. He was mostly doing secretarial work, for now anyways, but he hoped to eventually either move up the ranks to become more specialized in the forensics side of the law, or, if he decided that the law field wasn’t “for him” he would move on and consider this an exceptional learning experience.
And yes, in a very Levi style, the young man was running late, though he did have an excuse. He has spent hours last night “patrolling” as his superhero alter ego, Lightning. Stopping petty crime, bank robberies, the like. Just doing his duty to keep the streets safe. It has taken him a while to “recharge” and he ended up sleeping straight through his alarm, found himself having to wait for the subway, and running (short of breath) into the law firm just as the clock switched to nine o’clock. Not late, just by a smidgen. He took a few deep breaths, regulated his breathing and walked up to the front desk.
“Good morning,” he said to the receptionist, slightly out of breath. His hair was a little bit tousled, visible dark circles beneath his eyes, and his glasses slightly askew on his nose, “My name is Levi, Levi Gosselin. I, uh, got a job here, and today is my first day. I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction?” He gave her a quick and easy smile, trying to mask his sudden nervousness.
The receptionist glanced at Levi over her glasses, then looked back to her computer, tapping a few buttons. Levi leaned against the counter, finally catching his breath. He ran his fingers through his dark hair, trying to tame the stray locks.
The receptionist looked at him again and gave him a smile that didn’t look natural on her face, “Good morning, Mr. Gosselin,” she finally greeted, “Ms. Johnson is expecting your arrival, I paged her to come down to reception and meet you, you may take a seat in the waiting area and Ms. Johnson will be here shortly to show you around.”
“Thank you,” Levi responded gratefully, making his way over to the plush chairs in the waiting area. He took a seat and picked up a random magazine (Time) and set about waiting, trying to push aside his nerves.

A character for equine ;; Oliver “Oli” Douglas | 18 years old Hailing from a rich family, Oliver has always been the best at everything. Or so he thinks. Private school was a must from his parents, and he only ended up going to public school for high school, where he already had friends from doing football at the rec, and he begged his parents to allow him to attend a public school instead of a private school. So they sent him to the most prestigious public high school in the area. He loves his sports. Football in the fall, ice hockey during the winter, and track during the spring, and gymnastics year round, but no one else knows that. Football is his #1 sport, he loves it more than life itself. Because he grew up in a rich family, he grew up getting everything that he wants. This quality makes him quite arrogant, and sometimes cocky, but still a suave and charming guy, who, does get everything (and everyone) that he wants. He is quite tall, standing at 6’3’’ and weighing in at about 180 pounds, he has an average body type. His skin is tanned from living on the southern coast of California for his entire life, and knowing a perpetual summer. He has medium length chocolate brown hair that is usually styled up, with bright and mischievous green eyes that tend to betray his lack of maturity. FC: Grant Gustin circa The Flash

@ Raven ;;
Calista Pavlis — A sudden burst of morning sunlight spilt into the room when Calista’s handmaiden, Kareena, pulled open the curtains of the princess’s bedroom window, “Good morning, princess,” the young handmaiden said excitedly, whisking to and fro around the room, readying Calista’s outfit for the day, setting her breakfast down at her desk along with a flagon of mulled wine to begin the day.
Calista only groaned and covered her head with her feather pillow, trying to block out the imposing brightness. Yes, she was excited for her brother. Today was the day that Prince Reuben was meeting his princess today, the future queen of Greece. Excited, sure, why not? But was she really necessary to all this useless hubbub? Not really. A point that she tried to argue with her father, though the King would have none of it. So here she was, expected to wake at an ungodly hour to welcome the other princess and the rest of her family to the castle. What a joyous day.
Resigning herself, Calista rolled from the bed, ate a few bites of her breakfast (she wasn’t really that hungry, truly) and allowed Kareena to bathe her, dress her in her undergarments (for now) and begin working on an elaborate updo for her hair, and applying minimal makeup to her face (at the very least what they had). After a while of being readied, and endless chatter from Kareena, it was finally time for Calista to don her gown, specially made for this very occasion. It was a light, silken dress, made of nearly see-through material (you couldn’t actually see through it though) that was wrapped and draped around her body and secured with a pin that held their Kingdom’s sigil: the eurasian lynx. The dress fit her perfectly, and accentuated all the curves of her body. In short, she looked like Aphrodite herself.
There came a short knock on the door, then the sound of one of the servant’s voices coming from the other side, alerting Calista to the fact that the rest of her family was waiting her her in the courtyard. Their guests were expected to arrive at any moment. Calista thanked Kareena for all of her hard work, pulling the young girl into a quick embrace and a light kiss on the cheek to show her appreciation, before exiting her bedroom and making her way down to the courtyard to greet their guests.

Elizabeth Miller was not a happy girl. Just a month before the beginning of her senior year, her parents had forced the girl to move across the country. She was forced to leave behind her friends, her job, the stable she'd been riding at her entire life. The charming little town in southern Minnesota. She had begged for a chance to stay where she was comfortable. She begged to live with her best friend, Sarah. But no. Her parents were forcing her to leave her life behind and start over in California. This had been the reason behind that trip to Hawaii over the summer. Her parents had blown a lot of money on it, but at the time, Ellie hadn't thought of what their motive was besides a nice family vacation. Turns out they had wanted to soften her up before breaking the news the day after they got home. That trip to Hawaii had been the best of her life, not that her 18 years was a long time. She still missed the boy she had fallen in love with. He had seemed so sweet and kind. He made her feel like she was the only girl that mattered. She wasn't sure if she could consider Oliver her boyfriend, but she'd never had a relationship like that with a guy before. And that had been ripped away from her too, once they both had to return home. The twins hadn't minded the move, surprisingly. Jordy had been a bit upset, but Josh had convinced him that California would be cool. That meant Ellie was the only one the despised the move. And listening to the twins bicker and laugh during the whole drive hadn't improved the girl's mood at all.
Their new house was right off the beach, which caused the boys to go crazy. They were already talking about learning to surf and impressing all the pretty girls, not that that meant much when you were ten years old. Though Ellie didn't like the move, she had to admit the house was much nicer than their small one back in Minnesota. She woke up to the sound of the boys running through the hall, their barefoot slapping against the wood. First day of school at her new school? Not excited. By senior year, everyone already had their friends picked out and weren't interested in making new ones. Due to her quiet nature, Ellie would become a loner. Senior year was supposed to be filled with parties and fun and the last bits of relaxation before college and the real world came around, but this girl would never get to experience this. And she didn't think she was being over dramatic. She took her time getting dressed in a brand new outfit specifically for today. She took her time in the shower, standing under the hot water and trying to clear her mind. She took her time organizing her backpack. She took her time finding her keys and walking out to the car that morning. Her parents had attempted to talk to her, but Ellie wasn't much in the mood for conversation. Even in the car. Jordy had claimed the front seat, making Josh sit in the middle and lean up between Ellie and Jordan. She attempted to drown the twins out, blasting country music in the air conditioned car, but nothing seemed to dampen their excitement about a new school and new friends and new teammates and a new house. Of course, being in fourth grade was different than being a senior.
Once she was alone in the car, she let her frustrations out, growling and resting her head on the steering wheel at a red light. In this traffic, it was taking forever to get where she needed to go. Back home, she'd just speed down the empty road, reaching school in ten minutes or so. Here, she crawled at a snail's pace, just one of many cars. When she finally reached the parking lot, the first thing she noticed was all the kids. There were so many more than her small high school back home. Instead of a school where you know everybody, it looked like a school where you didn't even know everybody in your grade. Their were friends hugging and joking as they filed into the tan stone building. But Ellie just threw her bag over her shoulder and went in, heading straight to her locker. She and studied the school map at home, refusing to get lost on her first day. Have that happen and she'd be too embarrassed to actually have a chance at making new friends. She made it to her locker as the warning bell rang and looked once at the pictures she had hung up. Her and Sarah at the lake last summer. Her last show with Diesel. The twins and her playing soccer in the backyard. All things that reminded her of home. With a sigh, the girl shut her locker and made her way to her first period math class. She sat down, hoping the teacher wouldn't call her out to introduce her, and looked around the room. Students continued to file in, knowing they had five minutes before the final bell, and Ellie watched. To her surprise, a familiar face entered the room. The boy sat down a few seats away from Ellie and she leaned to the girl next to her.
"Who's that guy?" Ellie whispered, nodding towards the boy in a way he wouldn't notice. It couldn't be him, yet he looked no different than the boy from Hawaii. The boy that she had her first kiss with. The boy that she stayed up with all night, sitting on the beach and talking. He had seemed like one of the sweetest guys she'd ever met.
"Oliver Douglas. But don't even think about it. First, you don't have a chance. All the girls have drooling over him all morning. Second, I heard a rumor that he was bad news. Thinks he owns everything. Moves from girl to girl. Doesn't stop the rest of them," she said, nodding to some girls whispering and giggling as they pointed in his direction.
Could it be true? Was it really the boy from Hawaii? Even though the girl's description didn't sound like the Oliver she had met, Ellie was sure it was him. Plus, he guy could just have a reputation to uphold. Something he didn't have the pressure to do when they met over summer. Could there be an upside to this move? Could it be true love? Ellie reminded herself to try and catch the boy when he was alone and see of he remembered her.
