Welcome to I'll Be There For You. This role play takes place in some city where our group of friends live together in an apartment building. The guys live in two apartments. The Scholar, The Foreigner, The Hero, and The Male Twin are roommates. The Jock, The Father, and The Ringleader are roommates. The girls live in two apartments as well. The Artist, The Shy One, The Female Twin, and The Social Butterfly are roommates. The Musician, The New One, and The Innocent One are roommates. They're young adults, having graduated college or still attending it. As of now, there's no specific plot, and it's just our characters as they learn to live, love, and work in the real world.

literacy: This is an advanced role play. That means I expect a minimum of a few paragraphs per post (maybe like anywhere from 3-5?). I also expect correct grammar. I don't mind typos or imperfect grammar, but they shouldn't be happened every other word. activity: Activity isn't the biggest rule, but it's still pretty important. I'm busy and know you can't be on 24/7, so I'm just gonna set the rule at a few times a week. If you don't come back, I will message you before deleting you. characters: Characters cannot be perfect. That's the main rule when it comes to characters. Perfect is boring. We want realistic, flawed human like characters here. You can also claim one or two roles, but if you claim two, they must be opposite genders. spamming: This one should be pretty simple. I don't see this being a big problem, just don't spam the thread.. respect: I want this to be fun for everyone involved. I need you to be respectful to one another, as well as me. No bullying will be tolerated at all. You must also respect and follow the forum rules. I don't want this deleted or anyone banned. So, try to keep stuff at a PG or PG-13 level. have fun! : Again, this one is pretty self explanatory. I want everyone to have fun.

note: The Scholar, The Hero, The Foreigner, and The Male Twin are roommates. The Jock, The Father, and The Ringleader at roommates. The Artist, The Shy One, The Female Twin, and The Social Butterfly are roommates. The Musician, The New One, and The Innocent One are roommates.
The Shy One [f] | [taken];; Aurelia Grace This girl is the quietest of the bunch. Though she isn't one to go out and start a conversation, everyone else knows she's a great listener when they need to vent.
The New One [f] | [taken];; Eliza Morelli This girl is new to the group. Though she's unaccustomed to their antics, she's fitting in well and becoming acquainted with her new way of life.
The Ringleader [m] | [taken];; Kane Degray This boy is the one that's always causing trouble. He's the one that convinces the others to do stuff that normally ends up getting them in trouble. He's got a good attitude, but doesn't know how to handle it.
The Twins [m&f] | [taken&taken];; Rowan James Ford & Kira Elizabeth Ford The boy and girl twins have always had a close relationship, so it was no surprise when they ended up with the same group of friends. They're always looking out for each other and are each other's best friends.
The Father [m] | [open];; name This boy is the leader of the group. He's mature, responsible, and knows how to get things done. If it weren't for him, the others wouldn't make it on their own.
The Innocent One [f] | [taken];; Amelia Ross This girl is as naive and innocent as they come. She can seem like an airhead at times, but she's got a big heart and always wants the best for her friends and family.
The Scholar [m] | [taken];; Kellan Kramer This boy is seen as the genius by his friends. He enjoys learning and spending his time reading books and going to different seminars and classes. While it may be boring, he's the one everyone goes to with questions and he has knowledge in many subjects.
The Social Butterfly [f] | [taken];; Maya Ann Kingsley This girl is a mastermind in social situations. Growing up, she was always Miss Popular, and she still has that attitude. She's got more social grace than the rest is covers up the blunders of her friends.
The Foreigner [m] | [taken];; Caspian Fox This boy is from a foreign country. He was quickly brought into the group shortly after he arrived because he was new and interesting. While he's still adjusting to American customs, he's seen as the cultured and well traveled one of the group.
The Hero [m] | [taken];; Noah Quil This boy likes to be the protector. He can be stubborn and have a bit of a temper, but he's always there when his friends have a problem. He's the kinda friend that will beat up whoever broke your heart.
The Jock [m] | [open];; name This boy is the athletic one of the group. He's up early every morning for a run before hitting the gym and still making it back before everyone else is up. He plays multiple sports and is always trying to get the others to exercise.
The Artist [f] | [taken];; Faith Zwane This girl is an artistic genius. She can paint, draw, and sculpt better than anyone else. Her room normally resembles an art studio, but it pays off with the beautiful works of art she creates.
The Musician [f] | [taken];; Sadie Brennan This girl is musically inclined. She can play many different instruments and finds it relatively easy to pick up a new one. She's recently gotten into songwriting and is trying to make it big.

At the moment, there's no major plot. We can discuss if we want one and what it'll be when all the spots are filled.

Kellan Jude Kramer | 22 | Male The Scholar | Ethan Dolan Kellan isn't a typical nerd. He likes to say he's just a normal guy with a love of learning. He goes to the gym and baseball games. He's out with his friends a lot and he just likes to goof off. Kellan's very sweet. He's a constant supporter of his friends. While he's outgoing and a bit of a comedian with his friends, he can be shy around others. He also seems to pick up knowledge wherever he goes. He has a degree in biology and a minor in Spanish and is currently in vet school. Kellan speaks English, Spanish, and German and is beginning to learn French. He's a bit of a know it all and isn't afraid to rub it in people's face that he's intelligent. He has a tattoo of a paw print on his back, and the words 'He walks with me' on his right foot. Kellan grew up in a small town, working at his parents' bookstore since he was twelve.
Ariat Wip Kira Elizabeth Ford | 21 | Female The Female Twin | Shanley Caswell Kira is always on the lookout for adventure. She's level headed, independent, and stubborn. One more thing about Kira is that she's competitive, almost too competitive at times. She never backs down from a challenge or a dare or bet. On the side, Kira is a photographer and writing a book. Kira grew up with a pretty normal childhood. She's always been close with her twin brother.

If you posted them on the planning page then I can just move 'en over. If not you need to post them here. You posted yours already right? I think I was planning on moving them over so I can do that if you want.
Btw do you guys think it should be summer or winter? Like summers cool and all but like winter break and Christmas and stuff.
And what state? Cause like weather and stuff differs. I was thinking like Wisconsin or Minnesota or something

mk -thumbs up- summer, perhaps? I think it'd be a little hard to rp a winter setting atm, that's all.
oregon whatever state you want is fine, doesn't really matter to me.

Here's mine ~ !
Caspian Fox | 24 | Male The Foreigner | x // xCaspian stands at 5’10” and possesses a trim but athletic physique. He has striking features and a strong jawline, often set in a condescending smirk. His hair is jet-black and styled in a side parted comb over, and his eyes are startlingly blue. He’s very fair skinned and tends to burn rather than tan, and gets spectacularly rosy when he blushes. He usually wears flannels in cool colors with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows and black jeans. Cas is a stolid, cynical young man with a sharp wit and a dry sense of humor. He has a certain way of lacing everything he says with sarcasm so you can never really be sure if he’s being serious or not. He’s a master of understatement and will rarely be straightforward with you, especially if it involves expressing his emotions. That said, he can be hard to read. But don’t be put off by his aloof exterior; he's actually surprisingly empathetic, and is capable of being quite gentle and patient when it comes to people he cares about. Caspian hails from northeast England and came to the US to study abroad. indecisive Amelia Ross | 22 | Female The Innocent One | x // xOften mistaken for a 12 year-old, Amelia stands at exactly 5’, with a delicately-framed body, small chest and button nose. She has green eyes set in a smooth, sunkissed face, and wavy blonde hair that stops just below her shoulders. Her bangs are side swept and she has one stubborn curl that always sticks up from her part. She mostly wears flowy, off-the-shoulder tops with jeans and chucks. Though she might look cute, don’t you dare say so; and don’t mention her height or call her babyface, either. Amelia will quickly put you in your place. She’s feisty and strong willed, and as the Shakespearean quote goes, “though she be but little, she is fierce.” Loud and bubbly with a touch of dramatic flair, this girl is the kind of person that will either charm you or irritate you to no end; there is no inbetween. Even though she acts rather ditzy, she’s not stupid. Just very innocent. She’s about as naive as she looks, which makes her pretty oblivious to others’ feelings at times. But her heart’s in the right place, even if she can be a little tactless about it.indecisive

Kellan was in the middle of a fantastic dream. It was something about him being a world famous actor starring in the biggest movies of the year. He knew this was something he could never accomplish, due to his stage fright. It wasn't incapacitating, it just made him uncomfortable being in front of a large crowd. In his dreams, however, anything was possible.
It was his alarm that ripped him from this unattainable fantasy. The harsh beeping noise practically haunted Kellan's nightmares. He reached over, sluggishly, and tapped around his bedside table before finally hitting his target. The beeping stopped. With a groan, Kellan rolled over and pushed the blankets off of him. He was not a morning person. The young man stood up and made his way into the bathroom, staring at his only half conscious reflection.
"Ugh" was all Kellan could manage before stepping into his shower. He needed his morning shower. Once he was out and dried, Kellan was in a much better mood. He grabbed the clothes he had brought into the bathroom with him. He sniffed the red shirt, making a face when he realized it was dirty. "Idiot," he muttered to himself. Instead, he just pulled on the shorts. He left the bathroom, dirty shirt in hand, and made his way back to his bedroom.
"Dirty," he muttered, tossing it into the basket next to his dresser. "Clean," he said, grabbing a green shirt. He pulled it on, running a hand through his still wet hair. He returned to to the bathroom to brush his teeth and floss. Once he was done with that, Kellan found himself ready for the day. At least, as ready as he could be.
He left the bathroom, somewhat surprised to see that he was the first one awake. He made a pot of coffee before pouring himself a mug. He generally enjoyed sweet things, and black coffee was much too bitter and strong for Kellan. When he opened the fridge to find out that they were out of creamer, he made a face. "Great start to the day. Dirty shirt. Black coffee," he said. Kellan talked to himself when the others weren't around. Not in a creepy way, more of an 'I'm bored and there's no one else around' kinda way. He added his favorite creamer to the shopping list hanging on the fridge. Taking a sip of the steaming liquid in his cup, Kellan grimaced. Ah, he was too much of a poor college student to waste a perfectly good cup of coffee. He downed the rest (as quickly as one could truly down coffee), making another face as the liquid burned his throat. He went for the orange juice container, only to find it empty. With a small growl, Kellan added that to the list and finally managed to pour himself a glass of apple juice instead. He finished the glass in one drink and refilled it.
"I'm sure it'll get better," he said. Kellan walked into the small living room and relaxed on one of the couches, grabbing his book. He was currently in the middle of Night. It was a simple read for him, but one of his favorite books from high school. His copy, bought new from his parents' bookstore, was now worn and well loved. He opened up to the bookmarked page.
He was disappointed when the book came to an end. It was always too short. He slipped back into his room, placing the book on his desk. He'd reread it yet again, he knew, he just didn't know when.
Kellan paced the length of his bookshelf, touching the spines as he decided what to reread next. He didn't have many new books. He tended to wait to buy books until he went home, where he'd get a huge discount at his parents' bookstore. Books weren't cheap. He finally settled on 1984. He had a section of his bookshelf devoted to Shakespeare. Those books, however, went largely undisturbed. Kellan just couldn't make sense of the language in those books. He preferred to stick to books written in the last century or two. There's a reason he didn't major in English.
Kellan went back to the couch, opened up the curtains on the window so he could see better, and opened up to the first page. This was another favorite book of his. The half empty glass of juice sat on the side table next to Kellan as he read.

Kira was getting up only minutes after Kellan. Like him, she was the first of her roommates to wake up at this hour. Unlike Kellan, however, she woke up this early due to choice. She turned on the light, careful to make sure she closed her door and didn't disturb her roommates. She picked out her outfit and set it down on her bed before changing into her gym clothes. Kira liked working out while most other people were still tucked snugly in bed. There was less traffic at the gym and she wouldn't miss out on anything fun her friends were doing later.
Kira was happy to see the only other gym occupants at the time were a high school boy and his friend lifting weights, a personal trainer flipping aimlessly through a magazine, and two soccer moms on the treadmills. Kira set herself up on a treadmill near the soccer moms and listened as they talked about how awful Erica's brownies were at the last PTA meeting and how little Anthony deserved to be the MVP of his soccer team and how Linda's husband Brent was cheating on her with his younger secretary. How scandalous! They shot Kira a glare when she giggled at the red head's comment about how the principal wouldn't reverse his decision about Samantha's suspension for starting a food fight. 'She's a good girl. She doesn't mean it. That one suspension will ruin her life,' the woman had complained.
"Sorry. My, uh, brother told me a joke this morning," Kira said, embarrassed that she had been caught eavesdropping. She turned off her treadmill and went to jog on the track instead. There was no one else on it, and she wouldn't have to worry about the soccer moms glaring at her. When she rounded the last corner on her first lap, she saw red head still glaring in her direction. Kira just put her earbuds in and turned up the volume as she continued to run.
By the time she finished her workout, Kira was covered with the sleek shine of sweat. She noticed one of the teenage boys wink at her as she walked by, but she rolled her eyes when she heard his friend say, 'Connor, you have a girlfriend.' Kira walked past Connor and his friend, waving to the zombie like teenager at the front desk. Clearly, she hadn't chosen to work the early shift today.
It was a more normal time by the time she got back to the apartment. Kira unlocked the door with her key and made her way immediately to the bathroom, only stopping to grab her clothes from her room.
Kira spent her time in the shower. The hot water relaxed her muscles and by the time she was done, steam hung thick and heavy in the air. Her mom would kill her for that back home. Hopefully they wouldn't get mold here as well. She glanced warily at the corner where the wall met the ceiling and was glad to see a distinct lack of mold. Most of her showers really weren't that long or hot. Kira wiped away the condensation on the mirror and got dressed.
She stayed in the bathroom until her skin was completely dry. Though the girl was already dressed, she leaned forward to do her makeup. It didn't take long. Kira didn't wear much make up, just enough to cover up any pimples or unwanted marks on her face and a little mascara.
She plugged her blow dryer in and dried her hair. This took a little longer than the makeup. Kira's hair wasn't super long, but it was thick. She had always complained about how hot her hair was and how hard it was to brush it and how long it took to dry it, but it did look nice. She finished drying her hair and pulled it back into a ponytail. She always did that. Kira tended to get hot very easily, and having her hair down always made her even more hot.
She pulled open the door, letting whatever was left of the steam dissipate into the hallway. Kira dashed into her room, closing the door behind her. She threw her dirty gym clothes into her hamper and caught a glimpse of her alarm clock. Wow. Only 7:30, she thought. Her friends would be getting up soon.
She made her way back out of her room and into the kitchen. Humming, Kira messed around in the kitchen. She grabbed a couple different pans and a bowl and began mixing ingredients. She loved to cook, and had most of the things she cooked in her memory. This morning, she'd be making cherry crepes with sausage links and hash browns. She grabbed the sausages from the freezer and emptied them into one frying pan, listening to the satisfying sizzle. Again, the hash browns were already frozen in a bag and didn't take much work. They just needed to be warmed up. Once those two were going, she turned to her bowl. The crepes would actually be made her. And she still had some tart cherry syrup she'd made in the fridge. She'd used it in a pie, but what was left had been refrigerated. She'd warm that up and put it on the crepes.
She began mixing ingredients as she hummed, hoping the smell would wake up her roommates.
