Chatterbox: Inkwell

Have we forgotten the beauty of everyday life?

Caught up in our fantasy worlds, we focus on magic and war, but the sun peeking through the trees is just as magical. The death of a friend just as shaking.

We consider our own lives boring. Uninteresting. Unworthy to write about.

No.

In this RP, we will prove that even realistic stories can be moving, magical, exciting. That the best writers (like us) can magnify something mundane into something huge. Wonderful. Extreme. Terrible. Our character will interact by: School, friendship, family, anywhere. Your character must be connected with at least three others.

My first charrie:

Name: Hania Samara

Age: 13

Grade (if in school): 8

Nationality (let's get some diversity): Syrian refugee

Any disabilities or disorders? She doesn't, but her sister has PTSD.

Personality: She’s really quiet at school, but she talks at home. I’ll develop her much more later on, don’t worry.

Backstory: She and her family fled Syria in 2012, her sister getting PTSD from all the terror. She had many friends who died, and lost her personality as a result.

Appearance: As I said, she’s Syrian. She wears a headscarf. Not much else to add. Average height and everything.

Other: Not really much

My second charrie:

Name: Anna Bergen

Age: 30

Grade (if in school): She’s a teacher.

Nationality (let's get some diversity): German Jewish.

Any disabilities or disorders? No

Personality: Much better than normal teachers. She connects with the students on a deep level, and always offers advice. Again, I’m not saying much here, I’ll develop her more later.

Backstory: Her grandparents fled Germany during the Holocaust. After the war, they both returned to Germany, having forgiven the country (they were extra special and kind, okay?)

Appearance: Pretty average teacher look, with light brown hair and modest clothing.

Other: None

 

This RP is very different from normal RPs, which is good for creativity, so please join!

Great idea!

Name: Gabriella Talbot

Age: 13

Grade: 8

Nationality: From London, England, even though she was born in Thames.

Any disabilites or disorders?: She has high-spectrum autism. It isn't noticable in the way she looks or really acts, but sometimes it is in her personality. She might freak out over small things or be socially awkward.

Personality: Definently socially awkward, so she doesn't have many friends except for her older brother. She is sensitive, but the only thing she really connects to and is herself around is the violin. She loves the violin and is, to some people, suprisingly good at it given her situation. She's fairly quiet and she's way smarter than she is given credit for. 

Backstory: Her father was French and her mother is English. She is fluent in French and in English. She lived with her mother, father, and older brother but her father was killed in a huge bus accident one day. Her mother changed but tries to be positive around her children. Her older brother by 2 years, James, goes to the same school as her. Her school teaches grades 6-12. (Mei, can Gabriella and Hania go to the same school?)

Appearance: She has curly blonde hair that has blonde streaks in it that goes down past her shoulders. She has sharper features that also look sweet at the same time. She has big hazel eyes that look sad sometimes, and she's very pale, has freckles, and is slim.

Other: Her brother is kind of the opposite of her. He always seemed to be the perfect child, and he's quite athletic, being the captain of the football (soccer) team back in England and being the soccer captain in America on the school team also. He's fairly protective of his sister, and is social and has friends.

If anyone wants to RP as James, they can. If you do, you can also develop his character more.

I'm actually going to save the autism for another character, so I have to re do something about Gabriella. 

She used to be on a football team back in England, but the same bus accident caused her leg to be amputated, and now she has a prosthetic leg. She still tries to be active and likes football, and she is still quiet.

I'm new to the RP environment, and was introduced by my real-life friend, who goes by the name of Killim on this website. If possible, I'd like for my character (Aspen Payne) to be friends with Gabriella and Hania. Thanks!
