Gooseberry High (OOC)

HOWDY FRIENDS, it's cameron again (sorry). this is mercedes estrada (her fam calls her merche but unless your character speaks spanish, they probably call her mercy) and she is an azurecrest senior. her entire concept was inspired this ACTUAL CONVERSATION i had on the bus:

classmate: ooooh, cam, how you doing, boo? how ARE you? (good.) did you have a good weekend? (yes.) what did you have for breakfast this morning? (coffee.) do you ever think about death?

record scratch FREEZE FRAME

( actual character deets )

hi friends cameron again to say that im gonna be sporadically around today and then gone gone gone from friday thru monday (im going on a weekend trip w my gf and her parents LITERALLY pray for me pls) so

email/dropbox me anything i ought to see and also feel free to godmod my terrible two (ulysses and cash) into doing something stupid while im gone

HELLOO this is CAMERON i also have a character to intro bc yall dont see enough of me around here i guess lmfao sorry

this is cassius holcomb, coppertale sophomore. also known as cash, because cassius is a silly name. his concept is "overcompensating suburban kid shoots for the moon, lands amongst the dumpsters" and, well, that's it in a nutshell. he's here to join the OVERACHIEVERS CLUB, although, amusingly enough, not the goody-two-shoes club. cash won't push you under a bus, but he won't stop you from making a bad choice, either. he's perfectly willing to watch you eat shit so long as his face stays clean, especially if it helps him to get ahead. he's not a bad kid, though! he wants to be a nice boy, he's just acutely aware that it's a dog-eat-dog world.

cash comes from an almost parodically-suburban* nuclear family that was obsessed with keeping up with the joneses. cash inherited those sensibilities, but ruined it for his family when he came out as transgender at 13. his folks passive-aggressively ignore him entirely, and he's been essentially on his own ever since then. as a result, he's very into the concept of self-sufficiency; he never wants to have to scramble to figure things out again and he knows he can't rely on anyone else to do things for him.

he's always trying to make the grade, win the award, be the best... but sometimes his tendency to trip and fall into hijinx gets the way of his dreams. he might be trying to peddle you a pyramid scheme. c'mon, how can you say no to this face?

( oops forgot to add )

okay, immediately after i posted that introduction i remembered that i'm on call for the next 36 hours (and then i gotta sleep, unfort for me), so... freeze! nobody do anything until i get back! sorry!

Hey folks, I'm new. My name's Cameron, but since I take it you already have one of those in-game (it was my name first, kid, back off!), feel free to call me any nickname or variation thereof. I apologise in advance for any confusion, lmao. Anyway, I'm 24 and a graduate/professional student. I'm also falling off the wagon after 4-or-so years clean from RP, thanks to a little prodding by JJ. God help me.

I picked up 1 character. This little turdblossom is Ulysses Quayle, Ebonhide junior and baby bro to Cricket. Basically, his shtick is that he was everyone's precious baby angel until he went to boarding school and hit puberty and stuff, and then people stopped finding him cute and his whole world fell apart. Now he's like "WHO AM I" and because he's a teenager, this results in 50% melancholic navel-gazing and 50% Acting Out™. Expect trouble in everything but class, because he's terribly afraid that if he isn't effortlessly succeeding at school, it means he's lost his last identity token ("smart").

So, he's kind of a neurotic brat. Thankfully, he's also pretty charming, loyal to friends and fam, good with creatures (ask him about his blue tongued skink) 'n' kids, and somewhere deep down, a generally good guy. Ulysses is a chaser on the Quidditch team and very into it.

So yeah, that's Ulysses in a nutshell, I guess. Any plots or suggestions would be more than welcomed. I'm excited to play with you guys.

ETA: Oh, contact info! Feel free to email me at captainkickflips@gmail.com or hit me up on my CDJ, angoranimi. Sadly, I'm probably in a different time zone than most of y'all (GMT) but I'll do my best to be awake at odd hours, lol.
