Default Sweet Sixteen: Back to Brooklake (Student/Prof Spots Available!)


It’s most likely your junior year of high school, and you’ve finally hit that notoriously significant age: 16. You’ve made it through the first two years, and have settled in to your own particular group of friends. It is from these groups of friends that cliques have spawned, forcing students to distance themselves from one another in certain cliques. Brooklake is not your average and boring high school—fights, break-ups, make-ups, outrageous field trips, and parties are always occurring, and there is never a lack of drama. But with the hostilities and alliances between cliques, many a time you will find yourself caught in the crossfire. Whether you make friends, or make enemies—you will have to find a way to survive high school, or your sweet sixteen won’t be quite so sweet after all.



- All Forum and Roleplay rules apply.
- Must be a teen sim (all sims are assumed to be the same age, so the classes will be mixed if they are a student. Must be an adult/elder sim if you want them to become a professor.
- May be either Male or Female.
- You may apply for two characters maximum.
- If you haven’t posted once in a week (without providing us with a reason beforehand as to why you’ll be gone) you may be removed to make room for members more willing to participate.
- No double posting! Please be patient and wait for a response before posting again.
-Try and keep separate posts for OOC down to a minimum.
- Cursing is permitted, but don’t overuse it. If it gets too profane, you will be warned. Please be certain, however, to censor the use of the F word.
- You may RP as much as you like (meaning, there is no limit on the number of posts per day) but please DON’T SPAM.
- Be courteous to other members; even if your characters don’t get along, you still can. Remember, we’re here to have fun!!



((Just a little note before you begin; you can choose to enter as a student who has been attending the school all along, or as a transfer, if you'd like. It’s not mandatory, but if you’d like to have a better idea of how this RP has functioned in the past, I would suggest just quickly skimming over the older RP here. This is time-consuming, however, so I don’t expect you to do so. It’s at your own discretion. Also, I require that students be Juniors so that they can all be in class together; if you all would rather be able to have separate grades, we'd have to deal with only having three kids able to RP in a class. Let me know what you'd prefer. If at any point you have questions, feel free to contact me!))

Cliques: (feel free to suggest a new clique!)

Jocks - Your typical athlete. Participates in a varsity sport, is well-liked and popular, and has practically everything handed to them on a silver platter. The guys are regular Casanovas, with girls tripping over themselves to get their attention. However, they have a reputation for being a bit on the duller side, and are seen as meat-heads who never use their brain.

Preps- They are the fashionistas, the most popular kids, the cheerleaders, the rich kids. Known for being very beautiful, very well dressed, but also incredibly shallow and manipulative, as well as self-centered and egotistical. Furthermore, they’re often outrageous flirts and teases, constantly playing with the emotions of others.

Trouble-makers/Badasses- These are the kids you don’t want to mess with. Tough as nails, they walk around with a huge chip on their shoulder, prepared to strike at anything that dares to cross them. They are known for being somewhat antisocial and aggressive, but they posses the smarts that the equally brawny jocks may lack. However, unlike the jocks, when they start fights—they are almost always the ones to get the blame. If you’re a Badass, chances are that you’ll be spending a lot of time in detention.

Achievers – These are the brilliant kids; the ones who will be owning the multi-million dollar corporations when they’re older. They ace all their tests, get practically all A’s, and never miss a day of school. Despite their impeccable work ethic and standards, they are often given the label of nerds, geeks, and teacher’s pets. Although they may be picked on in high school, they’ll probably be the ones having the last laugh.

Skateboarders/Surfers – These students a the most laid-back, relaxed kids in school. With their mellow and calm attitudes, they hardly let anything phase them and never go out of their way to create drama. They’re known to be the slackers, and this is often revealed through their grades. While they may not be stupid, they certainly aren’t geniuses, and they’re notorious for being extremely lazy and a bit of the class clown.

Goths – The perpetually troubled, deep, emotional kids. They don the darkest clothing they can find, wear thick, heavy, and dramatic makeup. Often, they are incredibly pale. These are some of the most artistic kids in school, however. Be it poetry, painting, or music, one thing is for sure—they’ve mastered one type or the other, as a means to express their angst and deepest emotions. Sadly, they are often given the label of freaks, because they can be misunderstood.

Normies – The average kids. They don’t really stand out in any particular thing. They’re not over-achievers, but they’re not under-achievers either. They show up to school, make their way through the day, and maintain a balance between school and their own lives. Because they are labeled as boring, they often blend into the background, not really fitting into any one clique. The normies are often the wallflowers, but when you get to know them, they often bloom before your very eyes, or shrivel up and prove they’re as boring as they seem.

The Oddballs - The exact opposite of the Normies, the Oddballs stand out like a sore thumb. People can point them out a mile away, with their eccentric clothing and their loud mouths. Lighthearted and outgoing, they talk to anyone and anything that crosses their paths, not fearing social boundaries. While their free-spirited nature and unique ways can be a good thing in its own light, they are often looked down upon by others and labeled ‘obnoxious’ or simply 'out-there'.

Default Application: Natalie Cardew - Student
Name:

Natalie Cardew

Age/Class:

Sixteen/Seventeen, Junior

Clique:

Achiever (ex-prep)

After School Activity:

Editor of School Paper (also photographer and occasional writer for paper)

Brief History/Personality Description:

Natalie Cardew was absolutely perfect. She was beautiful, charming, popular and very clever. And of course, she had the perfect life, rich, doting parents, the school idol as a boyfriend, Parker, and a bright future.

Now, just as most of the people whose lives fit that description, Natalie was very shallow and self-absorbed, everything that meant anything to her was always centred on her; there was simply no room for anyone else with an ego as big as Natalie’s. And she played games, cruel, manipulative games with those less that her – of which there were plenty. She relished in her apparent superiority, she took pride in the desperate envy she incited and she knew exactly how to make it last.

Or so she thought.

With a steadfast mind like hers, there was no hope for redemption in her iniquitous ways, not without something so rarely dramatic. However, Natalie was either very lucky or very unlucky, for that very unlikely quandary played itself out to teach her a very precious lesson.

Parker was a year older than Natalie, and very talented at basketball, with an equally dazzling future ahead of him; he’d managed to snag a scholarship for Duke’s for the forthcoming year. However, it was such the case of Natalie’s mind games that they were simply inescapable, especially for those close to her. Having led him to believe that he’d simply lose her interest once the school year was over, Natalie, not realising she’d actually struck a raw nerve regarding his fear of drastic change, soon grew bored of the game while Parker had taken it to heart.

They were at a house party; some random teenager’s parents had gone away for the weekend and thus had inadvertently left the place to turn into a jungle hosting teens running amuck. Of course, Natalie was invited, practically the guest of honour and she made it a point to tease Parker by deliberately avoiding him in favour of others’ company. However, whether it was because he truly wasn’t dealing with stress in general all that well or whether Natalie had truly hurt him, he managed to delve into a drunken stupor and then stumbled upon a medicine cabinet.

He didn’t take the pills, not right then. Instead, he found Natalie, rather managed to corner her in the bathroom and decided to brandish the bottle at her in an attempt to get her to see things his way. The problem was, Natalie was too wrapped up in her own world to actually see what it was that bothered him, and in any case, given his reaction over it, she’d have probably hurt him some more over it. However, having him, drunk and aggressive, confront her alone truly wasn’t the best of ideas for both of them.

So, either out of fear or callous frustration, when Parker threatened to overdose, she simply egged him on, only to find, to her utter dismay, that he actually did go ahead with it.

She just didn’t know what to do. He was already drunk and adding Lord knows what drugs to the mix was just…. She had to do something fast and, being rather inebriated herself, she yielded to irrational reasoning.

First off, no-one could know about it, a suicide attempt, deliberate or otherwise, could cost him his scholarship, and she’d already messed him up enough. Secondly the ambulance might not actually get here fast enough and it’d be terrible for both of them if this got out. And thirdly, it was just shame, because she felt it was her fault because she played with him until he hit breaking point and then egged him on with his cry for help. She didn’t want anyone to know. The only option was to drive him to the hospital herself.

And so, she did, with Parker falling in and out of consciousness and continually requesting, begging and demanding that she pull over so that they could ‘talk about it’ while she was busy trying to save his life. In a sudden moment, he grabbed the steering wheel, wresting it from her control – Natalie’s reflexes a little dampened from her own alcohol consumption to react appropriately – sending the car hurtling into a ditch.

She was fine, a few stitches, bruises and sprains, but Parker ended up in a coma. His liver managed to give up on him and made his condition worse before he was eventually stabilised, still in a coma. His parents refused to give up on him and Natalie, facing charges of reckless endangerment, was only given a three month driving ban and group therapy over alcohol abuse, all thanks to her lawyer father passing the circumstances off as a young girl acting under duress – which, granted, wasn’t far from the truth.

It did change Natalie. She was horrified at her behaviour, disgusted by herself and her friends, at the inconsiderate manipulation running rampant in their lives. It was uncalled for and its effects were devastating. Worse was the fact that Parker’s friends and family were doing her no favours over it and thus, her parents decided to move from Illinois, uprooting Natalie right in the middle of the year to transfer to a new school.

She is almost a different person, more depth and better principles cultivated for atonement if anything. She had had every idea of what she wanted to do – to basically be famous, an actress, a fashion designer, whatever – but now, she wasn’t so sure. She liked writing, photography, acting and design, that was all she knew and well, she has a little time to figure it out.

Though no longer quite as exuberant and sparkling as she used to be, she is certainly not shy nor reserved, simply more observant, thoughtful and philosophical than most and still as appealing as ever, though now with a more enticing nature than glamorous intimidation.

However, personalities are never truly shaken off and when pushed to it, the dangerous Alpha girl makes a reappearance... so getting on her bad side - though far more difficult to accomplish these days - is an invitation to be destroyed.

Anything else you might want to add:

New transfer, loves Wasabi and has a grand fear of birds, especially pigeons, in masses, stemming from a childhood incident in Trafalgar Square. She is a very talented actress and photographer. Has a Siberian Husky dog named Cartier.

Default J.D. Harper
Name: John David "J.D." Harper (though few know his real name, but those who do usually know better than to call him by it.)

Age/Class: 16/Junior

Clique: Troublemaker

After School Activity: Drama club. He'd rather shoot himself in the foot than actually act, but lighting, he can do. When he feels like it. (Hey, if you can hotwire a car, you're usually good with electricity. *LOL*)

Brief History/Personality Description:
J.D.'s always been a quite troubled kid, but didn't really start acting out until hitting his teens. His parents are divorced. He's living with his mother, and hasn't seen his father in the past couple of years, by choice, as the father has a serious drinking problem. When facing the choice of who to live with, J.D. figured that living with his mother was the lesser of two evils. His mother doesn't quite know how to handle him, and J.D. would prefer it if she just left him alone altogether.
In school, J.D. is far from the nicest person around. He's an ill-mannered, bad-tempered hothead, who will often resort to violence to get his point across. He's also got a problem with authority and anyone opposing him, which has earned him the spot as everyone's #1 scapegoat. If something can be pinned om him, chances are it will be.
He despises preps and jocks.

Anything else you might want to add: He's quite good at sketching, but keeps it mostly to himself as he has no need to be seen as anything but what he believes himself to be: a jerk and a delinquent.

Default Katie Byrd- App
Name: Katie Byrd
Age: 16, Junior
Clique:Achiever
After School Activity: Cheerleading
Personality/Bio Katie grew up with one expectation: she would go to Princeton and be a millionaire before age 25. Her parents had no further demands on her, and didn't pay any attention to her other than to occasionally say, "When you are 25 you will be a millionaire, and have graduated from Princeton."

For most people, being ignored like that would make them despise thier parents, or rebel against a system that didn't seem to care. Katie is not most people however. Ever since she was four she wanted, longed desperately for her parents love, and figured the only way to accomplish that was to be a genius. She had read Euclid by the time she was 6, gotten a paper on ornithology published under a pseudonym when she was 10, completed an internet BS in physics and special relativity when she was 12, and published her first novel when she was 15. Still her parents didn't give her any acknowledgment, saying only, "Good job, why aren't you at Princeton yet?"

After her paper was published, and became the preeminent work on the subject with no parental acknowledgment, Katie became desperate for some human contact and praise and made her first friend in junior high. Since then she has blossomed a bit, still being extremely clingy, and very easy to manipulate, but now she will talk to people about things other than birds and physics. She is still an insufferable know-it-all, but once one gets past that she is extremely kind and mind numbingly loyal.

At the end of middle school purely on a whim she went out for cheerleading, and much to her surprise made the cut. She hopes not to be teased mercilessly or some such, but she is a mind bogglingly good dancer and she figures the joy that that brings her cancels out the hell the other cheerleaders put her through.

Anything Else?: She has been in the Brooklake school system her whole life. She is referenced in the school's biology textbooks, though she keeps that quiet. She is a talented programmer and graphic designer, makes no secret of it. Less well known is that she is a skilled dancer.

Thank you very much to robokitty for making this sim, and to gears7667 for taking the picture

I'm open to storylines/backstory with anyone.
Also, I know that this seems a bit overmuch for a high schooler, but at the magnate school I know people who have credentials like this by senior year. They are scary, but they exist.

The humor of a story on the internet is in direct inverse proportion to how accurate the reporting is.

Name: Marie-Elisabeth Normandy

Age/Class: 16/Junior

Clique: Preps

After School Activity: Cheerleading (Is head cheerleader)

Brief History/Personality Description: In every highschool, seeming since the dawn of highschools, there has been that one girl. The girl who is the prettiest girl in school, and is always the best dressed and impaecibly made up, with never a hair out of place. She's the head cheerleader, and the msot popular girl you'll ever see. Girls are jealous of her, and boys want to be with her. If you're a popular kid like her, she's your best friend. But annoy her once, or do anything to make her mad, and you had better join the witness protection program and fast.

In Brooklake highschool, that girl is Marie-Elisabeth. The only and much spoiled daughter of a wealthy oil tycoon, and a French ex-model, she's used to getting what she wants, when she wants it. And lord help the person foolish enough to get in her way or say no.

Anything else you might want to add: She drives a baby blue sportscar that was given to her on her 16th birthday, which was featured on the show "My Super Sweet 16".

Age/Class: 16/Junior

Clique: Normie

After School Activity:
Drama Club

Brief History/Personality Description:
Kim had always been a city girl. You could imagine the shock she endured when she and her family moved here to "start anew". She came from a kind of broken family, her mum had suddenly disappeared one morning when she left to go to work and never came back. All the police searches and leads had given up nothing until her father could take no more and moved them to the small town to get away from the bad atmosphere. Kim hardly thought they could ever get away from a bad atmosphere with a dad who was practically clueless about raising them and a family who would be lost if not for her running things. Still Kim was greatful for her family even if she sometimes wanted to run away in frustration, and she kept up hope that one day her mum would at least be found, naive as it might be. Still, Kim can be described as the glue that holds people together, a sweet, compassionate girl who is quite fierce underneath the whole exterior.

Default Hayden Alba
Student Application

Name: Hayden Alba
Age/Class: (automatically 16/Junior) i guess 16 then lol
Clique: Prep
After School Activity: Cheerleading

Brief History/Personality Description:
Hayden was born in a rich family, also very well-known and very popular. Being exposed to this at such a young age, Hayden grew up selfish and naive who knew that she could get whatever she wanted with a snap of her fingers.

She is nice most of the time making her down to earth, fun and easy to get along with. Hayden is smart and super pretty ... but is constantly being told she is not working to her full potential.
Given her beauty and personality, Hayden enjoys a steady string of admirers.

Hayden is a girl who finds it extremely easy to make friends. Most people look up to Hayden due to her positive and easy going attitude. Hayden isnt high maintenance but likes to look her best.

She is a trend setter and likes to shop alot. She gets spoiled alot by her parents which makes everyone think she is a spoilt brat - this isnt true she is just spoiled alot and is good at getting her own way without making a huge deal about it.

Although Hayden might have a beautiful exterior and may look innocent - she has her times where if you cross Hayden's bad side you would wish you had not. Due to fact she can be extremely malicious, bitchy and manipulative towards overs.
Hayden is the type of girl who can handle herself whilst making others agree with her reasoning. Hayden does not like to argue, but if someone was to start on her she will not be a push over or back down, as she likes to have the last laugh - a flaw on her bahalf. She can hold a grudge and won't allow you to be friends with her unless she made you feel bad about how you annoyed/upset her.


Anything else you might want to add:
Hayden is also surprisingly vulnerable, despite seemingly having it all together on the surface. This is because Hayden has transferred from many schools before, from different countries. So although she may look extremely confident on the outside, she doesnt like getting to close to people due to getting her hopes up of staying in schools she likes.
She sings as a hobbie, has a great voice. Can dance well, and is currently learning to drive.

Default Loren Dasen-App
Name: Loren Dasen
Age: 16, Junior
Clique: Oddball
Extracurricular: Drama
Personality/Bio: Loren is quite accurately described as loud and obnoxious. He will fearlessly speak to anyone about anything with no fear of offense, even though he is often rebuffed as a freak. This does not concern him at all, he generally sees people that call him "freak" as ones that just can't express their affectionate amusement at him. For the record, he is very very wrong.

Underneath the fearlessly oblivious exterior lies a pretty fearless pretty oblivious interior, Loren is not the sort to ever play games pretend to be something he's not. His ambitions change with the weather, at the moment his ambition is to be a museum curator, last week it was to be a street musician. Whenever people ask him what he wants to do after graduation he just tells them he wants to have a huge party.

It has always surprised Loren that not very many people like him beyond the of course affectionate "Freak" connotation, because he is extremely active in drama club and has been the lead in more than a dozen plays, most recently playing Fred Graham in Kiss Me, Kate where the lead actress insisted the director rewrite the scenes where they kiss and dance. Loren assumed it was because she was rather feminist and Lilli Vanessi's character was rather insipid and weak in those scenes. In actuality it was because said preppy actress didn't want to get within four feet of him.

Though Loren sometimes suspects that he's wrong about people liking him, he consciously decides not to act on that, and goes about in a cheerful and annoying way.

Anything else?: Loren is working on his own screenplay, which is a jealous secret, and has been in Brooklake since grade school.

Pic:I don't have my game at the moment, and I'm starting to hate the pic that was up, so I provide for your reference a
Description: Loren is rather skinny, and shorter than most guys, taller than most girls, somewhere in the region of 5'8 to 5'10. He has blonde hair, typically messy, though rarely longer than ear length. His eyes are green, and during the week immediately before a show opens or the two days after a show ends he seems to have massive raccoon eyes due to his stage makeup. He has a somewhat upturned, and very narrow nose, and small feminine lips.
Loren is also open to any story lines

Default Roxy Wiles - Student.
Name: Roxana 'Roxy' Wiles.

Age/Class: Sixteen/Seventeen, Junior.

Clique: Normie.

After School Activity: Music Club.

Brief History/Personality Description: Roxy is a good-natured teenage girl, most of the time. She knows that a person needs fun in their lives, and she takes those opportunities when ever she can. Roxy is neither reserved nor the life of the party: she is someone that just attracts a wide range of friends. However, she is also exceptional at holding grudges and is unhealthily bitter about certain things. If someone tries to dissuade her against her preconceived notions of such, they will be trying for some time. If anyone gets on the wrong side of Roxy, it would be safest to prepare for quite a lot of anger and resentment. Her motto is, "You can either be my best friend or my worst enemy," and she fully means it. While her parents are still married, they tend to argue fairly often; she is their only child.

Anything else you might want to add: Her two closest friends are Eeric Kinsley and Lila Kavanagh, she is also extremely afraid of spiders and just about all insects.

Default APP - Colbert, Jennifer.
Name: Jennifer Colbert (Known mostly as Jen)
Age/Class: 16, Junior
Clique: Normies
After School Activity: Drama Club
Brief History/Personality Description:
Jennifer, apart from her excellent singing voice and acting skills, is a quiet girl that usually stays away from major cliques and whatnot. Jen’s father is French-British, hence her slight accent, and her mother now lives in Taiwan with a teaching job. They aren’t legally divorced, simply taking time away. This proved to be hard on Jen, however her incredible boyfriend of two years, Jordan Fairview, helped her pursuing her career and life. She came to the school around five months ago, and she’s made a few close friends. Whether or not to trust, therefore keep them, or let them go will be a difficult choice for her to make in the year to come. Now at the age 16, she desperately seeks a chance as an aspiring actress and singer. In the school Drama club, her talent is inevitably hard to hide, however she usually isn’t picked for lead roles as some teachers see her as ‘softspoken’, although any sober student knows how fierce or loud she can get onstage. Apart from the school Drama club, she has received voice lessons for three years and started a band, which fell apart after she moved. Lately her boyfriend has been acting a little strange, but Jen isn’t overly worried. If anything, he is her silver lining and she would trust her life with him. Jen is, simply put, a quiet and modest teen with strong views on life. She may seem nice to everyone at first, but will prove to be defensive and will sting anyone who takes the wrong idea and badmouths anyone she is close to. Once she has a reason to dislike someone, it’s near impossible to change her attitude. She’s a reassuring shoulder to cry on and trustworthy with the biggest of secrets.
Anything else you might want to add: Her favourite fruit is a pear, and she plays guitar and used to play the cello. Jen has one half-sister, who is the same age as her but haven’t seen each other since the age of nine.
Oh, and she is naturally blonde.

((The apps look OUTSTANDING everyone! I'll update the list and everything today, and submit my characters, but I'm a huge rush at the moment (class, ew). Anyway, just a quick note--your character can only be in one afterschool activity-- i.e. band, not band + art club, because the clubs all meet at the same time and there wouldn't be a way for your character to go to the two meetings at once. Just a heads up! I'll check back later, great work everyone! Can't wait to get this started! ))

Age/Class: 16/Junior

Clique: Prep

After School Activity: Track & Field

Brief History/Personality Description:
For all of his (so far rather short) life, Matthew has belonged to the in-crowd. Born the youngest of two sons, to wealthy socialite parents, he's always had the best of the best, whether it's been lavish birthday parties and an excess of toys, or as has been the case in most recent years; expensive clothing of the latest fashion, all the newest gadgets, and even a wicked car. All that, helped along rather nicely by his charming good looks, ensured him not only a place among the most popular kids, already from day one in school, but as one of the more prominent ones of his clique as well. He's not a leader type per se, yet has been made one due to possessing all the 'right' qualities. Seen by many as the suave prince of Brooklake High, he quite thouroughly enjoys the 'adoration of the unwashed masses' as well as that of many of his prep friends, and has over the past couple of years been known to start quite a few trends, as far as school fashion goes.

Although he's known as a charismatic and fun loving young man, a regular party animal and notorious serial dater, he's also known to only rarely venture outside of his own particular clique, where making friends is concerned. He sticks to his own crowd, and like many of them, considers himself just a tad bit better than the rest of the other students, and just the world in general, really. If he does venture out of his own 'comfort zone', it's usually to mess with the head of some poor unsuspecting victim in one way or another, as just like many of his friends, he enjoys a good game of manipulation. 'Dance puppet, dance'. However, on the surface, he's usually nice to everyone, though you'll never know if there is an eyeroll to follow as soon as your back is turned, and there is the occasional exception when someone is just too darned 'annyoing' or 'pathetic' for him to even bother hiding how he truly feels about them. More often than not, the one on the recieving end is either an oddball, or a goth, for a variety of reasons.

But... As is the case with so many other things, not everything here is what it appears to be. Matthew might seem confident and self-assured, but truth be told, he's rather insecure and like anyone who puts their identity in a certain crowd of people rather than themselves, cares perhaps a little too much about what his peers think of him. He knows his status directs the eyes of others onto him at all times, as it's him and his friends that are constantly looked to for hints of what's hot and what's not, and with it comes a ton of expectations for him to be everything that is the teenage ideal; rich, popular, good looking and carefree. He's deathly afraid of not living up to these expectations, of falling from grace, being pushed from his pedestal, and will go to serious lengths to try to ensure that it doesn't happen.


Anything else you might want to add: usually goes by 'Matt', or even 'Sidle'. Has done a bit of modelling ever since childhood, and still does every now and then. Has dated Marie-Elisabeth Normandy, Sienna Gentry and Natalie Cardew (though the latter with ulterior motives), among many, many others.

Is active in both sports and drama. He's got quite a bit of acting skill, and is one of the school's top sprinters (his main distance being 100 metres).

Has one older brother by the name of Liam, who is currently in uni. His father is a television producer, and his mother a pure-bred socialite who has never worked a day in her life, and spends most of her time and effort planning, organizing and hosting charity and/or entertainment events.

Default Application: Josh Brennan - Student
Name:

Josh Brennan

Age/Class:

Sixteen/Seventeen, Junior

Clique:

Jocks

After School Activity:

Football – Captain/Quarterback of football team

Brief History/Personality Description:

Josh Brennan is awesome.

To say that he is the school’s idol would be an understatement indeed, for Josh fulfilled the Hollywood stereotype of high school hunk and then some. He's gorgeous, funny, charismatic and irresistible to the girls… and he takes full advantage of that, earning himself a good reputation of a Lothario with the ladies. He doesn't even pick wantonly on the other cliques, unless they get in his way, in which case, the game was on.

However, Josh’s true passion lies in football, to which he has almost completely devoted his entire life. Although he’s passionate about it now, Josh had to admit that it wasn’t really where his inclination first was. He, ever since a young age, was interested in art and design, and whenever he got time, he’d make up sketches and concepts for various things; buildings, automobiles, anything and everything.

Now, the most important driving factor in Josh’s life was his father. Daniel Brennan was a media magnate, who’d initially been sponsored by an Ivy League college for varsity sports. However, in his first year, Daniel sustained a serious knee injury that prevented him from playing again. Feeling that he’d had his opportunity stolen from him, he did everything to push Josh into living the life that Daniel had wanted.

Hero-worshipping his father from a young age, Josh had not objected and simply did what he was good at; sports, keeping his interest in art and design secondary to what he thought he wanted more; to be an athlete. And in all fairness, he was excellent at that.

While most people assume he’s a little on the dim side, Josh is a bright boy, though not the brightest of them all. He, like most people, has subjects he excels at and subjects he struggles with. He’s very polite and chivalrous to the ladies, even if he does play the field, he does not cheat with other girls if he’s in a relationship, however short. He makes everyone he’s with feel utterly special… and hey, someone girl out there’s gotta tame him sometime, right? Why does it have to be later on in life?

The truth of the matter was that Josh wasn't ever doing what he wanted to do; it was more pleasing his father than following his own dreams. Even though he appears effortlessly cool, he feels crippled in his own skin and he knows everything that he has now, popularity, adoration and fame, is a result of following his father's dream rather than his own, but if he had the courage to do it, he'd break through, he certainly wants to.

He’s the James Dean of Brooklake, the girls all want him, the boys all want to be him and still, no-one can truly know his secrets... well, not unless they try....

Anything else you might want to add:

Josh's greatest fear is disappointing his father, for so far, the paternal influence has been the most defining factor of his life.
He drives a sports car given to him as a present from his father for making it as Captain of junior football team and being already approached by leading colleges. He has a little brother called Julian, who's 10 years old and hero-worships Josh the way Josh hero-worships his father.

He knows full well of the names he gets called by the 'lesser people' - Chisel Chest, for one.

He's currently dating Marie-Elisabeth Normandy in what's really a fairytale, and to drive home the celebrity glitz of it, they're actually known collectively as 'Josabeth' - he'd like to find the person who came up with that.

Default Eeric Balfour Kinsley
Name: Eeric Balfour Kinsley

Age/Class: Sixteen/Seventeen, Junior

Clique: Goths

After School Activity: Music Club

Brief History/Personality Description:

Eeric is not loud, and he is not emotional. He is not a hurricane of rage and teen angst. No, far from it, actually. Just because he has tattoos, a lip-ring, and wears dark clothing, that does not mean that he is like every other whiny teenage 'emo-kid' who will try to dress like him. Eeric is mellow (almost apathetic) and composed, and his dry wit and sarcastic sense of humor give him an odd charm. Although he has the typical pale skin (ivory, or porcelain, thank you very much!) and dark hair of your average goth, he does not try to be out there and 'different' from everyone else. On the contrary, he couldn't care less about the differences between people. If you're a goth and you piss him off, he will treat you with the same amount of anger as he would if you were a prep.

Eeric was an only child, the son of two loving, supportive parents. So no, you won't hear any of those "I-hate-my-parents" diatribes coming from him. That's why his choice of 'alternative dress and accessories' was never selected as a means of rebellion: he dresses as he does simply because it is a style that appeals to him. He loves his family, and was raised by a high moral standard. Also, he's fiercely loyal and somewhat overly protective of those he cares about; he tends to take on the role of big brother, and has the propensity to consider it his job to look after those that can't look after themselves.So while he may bend the rules and come across as a bit rough around the edges, he's really a decent guy deep down.

Anything else you might want to add:
He's a closet classical music junkie. Trained in the classics from age three, he can play piano, violin, and cello. Although he is gifted in these instruments, he rarely mentions such talents-- instead, he only speaks of his guitar. He's also a whiz with accents. He grew up down the street from Lila Kavanagh, and they've been good friends since they were both in preschool.

Default Lila Kavanagh
Name: Lila Kavanagh

Age/Class: Sixteen/Seventeen, Junior

Clique: Normies

After School Activity: Drama Club

Brief History/Personality Description:

Lila is a girl of many complexities, a living, breathing paradox. While she is quite spunky and unafraid to speak her mind, she is equally self-conscious and unsure of herself. Ever the optimist, Lila is convinced that there is some good in everyone, and every situation. Sometimes she may come across as a bit naive, and too idealistic, but she is a loyal and trustworthy friend who never falters in matters concerning those she cares about. Perpetually smiling and giggling, her compassionate demeanor makes her easy to get along with, and makes her fast-friends with almost everyone she meets. Beneath her ever-happy facade, however, she masks any pain she experiences, because she doesn't like to burden others with her problems.

She is actually a twin, something many people forget about because her brother is no longer in school with her. A year or so ago, her brother developed a debilitating illness that Lila rarely speaks about, and one that often calls upon her to aid him in any way she can. She has undergone several surgeries to help her brother, but rarely complains. This is one of the few things about her home life that Lila attempts to keep secret, and very few actually know about her brother's situation (save for her closest friends).

In spite of the many obstacles Lila has been presented with, she strives to overcome whatever adversity she may face. She is always ready with a laugh and a smile for anyone who may need it, and rarely hesitates to breach the clique-lines in order to make friends. Lila prefers to blend into the background, and standing out only makes her nervous, so she is quite satisfied with her role in the clique of students who tend to never get noticed.

Anything else you might want to add: Lila is deathly afraid of spiders and tinfoil, has a fascination with trees and staring out windows, is extremely ticklish, and loves quotes.

Default Let it begin!


The campus is clean, pristine, and devoid of life--that is, until today. While all the students were away on winter break spending the holidays with family, the school was resting in quiet peace for the brief respite. But now winter break has come to a close, and the first week of January has rolled around to welcome the students of Brooklake back on the sprawling campus. The lawns are well-manicured, many classrooms received a fresh coat of paint, and even some new students have enrolled to begin their journey at the school. There isn't a cloud in the sky and the air is still chilly, but that should raise the spirits of those students who are dreading the return to the books and homework that await them upon their return. So get to school, get to class, and get to work!

Default J.D. 'not a morning person' Harper, arriving at school
(((ooc: Alrighty, guess I'll go first then. Come on people, let's get this show on the road. )))


Some might say that a semester that started with pigs flying and hell freezing over, was a sure sign of a very interesting upcoming semester indeed. Those very same people might also be quite excited to find that this was one such start of one such semester.
The reason?
J.D. Harper, notorious troublemaker known to skip quite a few classes and to send people flying into lockers just for looking at him funny, arrived not just in time, but early; something that would make Halley's comet passing in the sky seem like a regular everyday occurance. Though unlike aforementioned people, J.D. himself was far from thrilled about it. He could think of few things he hated more than mornings - and he had quite a few things on his list - and would have much rather just stayed in bed and ignored the fact that the winter break was over. Unfortunately, his mother was the exact opposite; an early bird with a tendency to suddenly realize she just 'had' to vacuum the second floor, where J.D.'s room was located, before she headed off to work, on every single day that J.D. was proving more of a challenge than usual to drag out of bed. For while she might not care much for the muttered curses and sometimes even angry growls that would emit from the bed where only a tuft of gossamer hair sticking out from underneath the covers would reveal that her son was actually there, at least if she managed to coax him out of bed, there was the possibility that meeting up with his friends would appeal to him enough to actually drag him out the door. And if she was really lucky, those friends would actually have chosen that particular day to attend some classes.

This morning, she had started vacuuming extra early, and paid extra detail to J.D.'s room, forcing her son to realize that yes, he did indeed feel like meeting up with his friends, one in particular, today. Consequently, he arrived at school alot earlier than usual. He could even stop on his way from the parking lot, where he had left his sorry excuse for a car(*), and have a smoke or two at the spot where he and his friends usually hung out during recess, and still make it to class long before the bell went.
Not that he really intended to be there on time, but for once, the option was at least there.

However, considering the chill of the winter morning air, and how it always made the tired J.D. freeze his butt off, he actually made it through the main doors with a whole quarter of an hour to spare, and with little else to do, as his friends had yet to show up, he headed for his banged up locker.


(((ooc 1: * imagine it a little bit more rusty and dented)))

(((ooc 2: Grumpy, but approachable. :D)))

Default Adam Weathervein and Lorene Davis
First rp on this forum! *is nervous*



Name: Adam Weathervein
Age/Class: 16/Junior
Clique: I hate to lump emos with goths but that seems the most approipriate...
After School Activity: If he isn't in detention then he's in the music room after school.
Brief History/Personality Description: The most notable thing about Adam is his mood swings: Light rain slightly disturbing the delicate balance of his hair painstakingly achieved by and hour of straightning and 3 cans of hair spray, spells a bleak rest of the day for Adam; failing a class and being grounded for a month because of that can be forgotten with a pack of oreos.

Adam isn't a bad student, more easily distracted and has a tendancy to fall asleep in class (keeping his myspace and live journal as up to date as possible as well as his 4am scheduled cigarette so that mummy doesnt find out, leaves little time to sleep) as well as doodle on any loose slip of paper which usually gets him into trouble.

He's pretty quiet and can be pretty hostile to people he doesn't know but willl usually talk to anyone if they are so inclined to approach him.

Anything else you might want to add: Adam is naturally dirty blonde, his present hair colouring is in honour to his black and white cat, Macaroni St. Clement II (there is no Macaroni St. Clement I, he just thought it added to the name). Adam plays guitar and thanks to the lack of bass in his voice, can do an excellent whiny emo scream. He is never without eyeliner, his ipod, filled with mostly woeful songs though he is particial to some Alphabeat, or a sharpie marker to draw with.

Name: Lorene Davis
Age/Class: 16/Junior
Clique: Oddball
After School Activity: Foreign Language Club
Brief History/Personality Description: Lorene discovered long ago that she just didn't have the patience to fit in anywhere. The unnecessary high school politics that fuelled people to ass kiss, back stab, stuff their bras and spread rumours seemed a whole lot harder then being shunned by her classmates, she find her own company more amusing most of the time anyway...

Lorene is loud, rather open and will usually talk to anyone whether they wish to associate with her or not. She doesn't rate herself promiscuous but knows she flirts shamelessly with anyone: boys, girls, teachers, mostly for giggles. She rarely worries about the consequences of her actions.

Anything else you might want to add: Was born and has lived in Lithuania till the age of 10 so still has a slight accent and speaks perfect Lithuanian. Has naturally reddy-browny hair and has been drawing on her eyebrows since she was 14. Her greatest fear is going bald yet tries to dye her hair a different colour atleast every 6 weeks. She feels she would have made more sense if she'd grown up in the 80s.
