( HOVER OVER THE ICONS FOR EXTRA INFO AND IMPORTANT LINKS. ) characters will be added as they are made. i'm pretty much game for any plot! [atrb=border,0,true]--------- rhiannon z. chou female • 19 • student • bisexual • ambitious • petty • quixotic a second year fashion design major at otis college of art and design, rhiannon dreams of becoming one of the biggest names in fashion someday. she is of taiwanese and french-american descent, and even on her worst days, she will try dress herself to the nines. a tad naive, but her stubborn streak is a mile wide. rhiannon has had many friends growing up growing up, though many of them have gone out of the state for college. she also has a few friends at otis, but if there is anything rhiannon has learned in fashion school, it's that even "friends" will backstab each other if it means getting ahead. needless to say, rhiannon probably has more enemies than she is aware of within her immediate vicinity, though that isn't to say that there aren't people outside of otis who may or may not have a bone or two to pick with her. after all, she isn't exactly the sort of girl to be quiet and demure. her aim, after all, is to get noticed. with such an outlook on life, it's no surprise that she has been in love before. but of course she has, how could she not with all of the pretty boys and girls out there? that being said, she has never been on a date though -- her father is one of those traditional types who will put prospective suitors through the nine circles of hell before he deems them worthy of his daughter. as such, rhiannon has no final for the time being and is open. | [atrb=border,0,true]--------- gabriel m. kingston male • 22 • student • demisexual • conflicted • esoteric • remorseful a fourth year history major who is also minoring in classical civilization at ucla, gabriel seems to be a typical ball of cheery sunshine. however, this englishman is not as he appears, and hides some of his deepest and darkest secrets behind his smiles. a young man full of regrets with a very, very guilty conscience. gabriel is by no means a shy boy, and has over the years gained a great many friends. most of his childhood playmates are likely to still be back in england, but you never really know in these parts! it is also extremely likely that the young man has made friends during his time at ucla. don't worry, he still has a trailing semester left to finish after the current one, and hopefully will be sticking around for his graduate studies. while he makes an effort to win most everyone's hearts, there are some out there whom gabriel considers as enemies. in fact, if you're one of the select few who are in on that one big secret of his, the boy is probably already wary of you as it stands. when it comes to love, gabriel's heart is only available for capture to those who can connect to it on an emotionally intimate level before the first kiss is even shared. while romantic is not quite the term, he is only comfortable with having a relationship with someone he is already extremely close to. at the moment, gabriel has no final, at least not definitively. | [atrb=border,0,true]--------- bailey s. whelan male • 20 • student • heteroflexible • practical • tolerant • possessive a soon-to-be third year architecture major at usc, bailey is one of those third culture kids who have lived all over the world, or at least a good part of it. his blood is an eclectic mix of irish and thai heritage, and he might just care a little too much for his friends. blessed by common sense, but also cursed by jealousy. bailey doesn't exactly have many friends, though he supposes that it's at least partially his own fault because he's not one to go out of his way to socialize with others. most of his friendships were the result of someone else approaching him first. it isn't that he refuses to associate with those around him, it's just that he prefers sticking to a small group of close friends to having a wide circle of acquaintances. that being said, his jealousy streak does tend to cause him to perceive people who get even a tiny bit too chummy with is friends as enemies. needless to say, a his negative views on some individuals are often nothing but one-sided. not that he is too keen on admitting to that little tidbit, but alright. on the other hand, there is love too. in terms of romance, bailey has up until this point only ever felt attracted to girls, but makes a point of keeping his options open just in case he ever does find himself attracted to another male. however, do beware -- he is a fairly possessive lover. at this given point in time, bailey has no final. | [atrb=border,0,true]--------- konstantin a. lenhoff male•27•artifact hunter•homosexual•dutiful•contemplative•reticent an artifact hunter working for the impedio society, konstantin is both a dedicated and fairly private individual who speaks little of his thoughts. born from an entirely german bloodline, his own ideals are at odds with what is expected of him. a kind heart trying to decide what to believe in when it is all said and done. considering konstantin's background, his upbringing didn't exactly allow him time to make friends with people outside of the impedio society all that often. within the society, however, there are some that he could calls friends -- though acquaintances would be the more accurate term for most of them. according to society protocol, those who are known or suspected to be awakened, claimed, identified, or otherwise having a connection to fate are automatically considered enemies to konstantin on principle. for better or for worse, it's a part of his job description, and it does sometime lead to a fair amount of personal conflict. his line of work affects him in most aspects of his personal life as well, and love is no exception to this rule. that being said, even if he weren't involved with the impedio society, konstantin's love life would still be a rather complicated affair -- he is, after all, severely tight-lipped about his exclusive attraction to other men. this one is still hiding in the closet. at the given time, konstantin has no final. | [newclass=.plot]transition: 0.5s; -moz-transition: 0.5s; -webkit-transition: 0.5s; -o-transition: 0.5s; height: 114px; width: 400px; margin-top: -107px; overflow: hidden;[/newclass][newclass=.plot:hover]height: 300px; width: 400px; transition: 0.5s; -moz-transition: 0.5s; -webkit-transition: 0.5s; -o-transition: 0.5s;[/newclass] |

Vivian is a very pretty lady that has some...well, issues. You can check her profile out by clicking on the title underneath my lack of icon. We were picked for the RP Swap, so I'm thinking the two should meet somewhere they could actually bond. Vivian desperately needs friends, and I think the two of them would get along. Each would likely have some difficult times with each other (being so headstrong and all) but I think they would most definitely be great friends.

RHIANNON AND VIVIAN mkay, so i took a look at vivian's profile, and my first instinct was to say they meet at king's mall or the third street promenade in santa monica. or just some other shopping centers within driving and/or busing distance from los angeles, such as the americana in glendale. that, or the los angeles fashion district. that might be fun, actually. just somewhere where they can probably sit down and complain about ugly fashion trends or something, or disagree about whether or not a current clothing trend is lovely or hideous. but definitely, seeing as how they both have an aversion to supposedly ugly things, i can see them bonding over that. feel free to bounce off of that or go off in a completely different direction, anything's cool with me! also, do you prefer i started the thread, or do you not mind starting it? either way, no pressure, this is just so i know if i need to write an opener. c:

Poking you as I said I would~ <3 \o/ I've already talked to you some about possibly being DARN YOU NEW YORK friends. Personality-wise, Kyu-Sik is difficult to get to know at first, but I think there's potential for friendship in that they're in a similar boat. He's still inner-moping about his own rejection from Juilliard, but having someone to talk to could be motivating for the both of them! Even if they are both doomed to fail again anyway, because lol gotta stay in LA. Having someone who can relate to a problem is always a great push.
Also, aside from being a similar age, Kyu-Sik is currently working as a tailor's apprentice. Sewing may not be what he really wants to do forever, but it's something he is really good at and he's a perfectionist in his work. If she ever has to sew a lot of things together, he's a good friend to have around to help out? \o\ Or it's at least something else they could get to know each other through.

RHIANNON AND VIVIAN will do, will do! i'll try to have the thread up before i head off to a friend's birthday party tomorrow, but at the very latest, it'll be up sometime on sunday. but i'll do my best to get it up as early as i possibly can, i promise! update! so, as promised, here's a LINK to the thread! hope it's alright~ c: RHIANNON AND KYU-SIK
yep, the DARN IT NEW YORK friends who will never ever actually make it to new york lolol. :'D actually, bringing together both those points you mentioned! i was just thinking about the fact that kyu-sik works for a tailor earlier today, and i was wondering if the store sells fabrics or patterns? because if it does, i can see rhiannon hearing about the store from either a friend or a professor, and going there to check it out, and busing out there to take a look. and while she's loitering around the store looking at things that she possibly wants to buy to use (hence fabrics and patterns) on her projects, bam, she meets kyu-sik. and maybe ends up talking his ear off. entirely a possibility. he'd probably find her rather annoying at first, ngl ;;as for how they'd end up actually getting to the point where they both find out about DARN IT NEW YORK, maybe rhiannon can find that the store to basically a treasure trove of materials she needs, and ends up going back there a lot? like every week to every other week or so. and since kyu-sik works there a lot, she probably runs into him a lot, keeps talking his ear off until he starts to talk to her, etc., etc., etc. i'm almost tempted to have her spend a chunk of cram week or something before finals at the store and working on her stuff there so that she can basically have instant access to any supplies she might need in the process, and during that time, she'd likely ask kyu-sik to help out at some point. yes, he is free to go wtf at her.

Mmm I imagine the tailor's place to not be that huge of a store in terms of size, but they could definitely have some quality fabrics and such for sale along with access to ordering more for a good price. So sure! It could work! As an apprentice, Kyu-Sik is mostly there to do the stuff the actual tailor doesn't want to do, lolol. So he'd definitely be the one dealing with her questions and stuff. And it's easier for him to make friends with someone who talks his ear off I think. *^* Even if at first he's just quietly nodding along. /FORCES HIM TO MAKE FRIENDS
Her being regular costumer sounds great! He'll have no choice but to get to know her better, bwahahaha. And I like the idea of cram week whenever that happens, too. For the beginning of it he would be wtf and wondering why she isn't leaving, but he'd help her out in the end. He can understand wanting to do something well and he likes to keep himself busy anyway. <<

RHIANNON AND KYU-SIK
lolol sorry kyu-sik, but you're gonna be seeing rhiannon's face a lot for the next two-and-half to three years at least. :U because quality fabrics for cheaper than what she'd find at a retailer like joann's? yep, she's there, so very, very there. |: at least the store's getting good income shhh -- >>;; and actually! the cram week can probably happen this rp month, since otis' spring semesters end in early may. or if that's too soon, maybe we can hold it off to the rp month of december 2012, the beginning of which would be when the fall semester cram week would be? i also had this silly idea of rhiannon needing to have a model for an end-of-the-semester fashion show then, and the model for her men's collection flakes out literally two days before the show and... well, if she and kyu-sik are good enough friends by then, she could possibly beg ask a really, really, really big favor and have him be her last minute model. she'll owe him food for a year or something like that, idk. and that there is my really silly 5:30am idea. |D;;

alsdkfjasdlkfj I just almost spit out my orange juice at the thought. But I like all of this! I don't think May would be toooo soon. It would give her more of a reason to seek the store out perhaps? Unless we're assuming she's been there before or something. >> Which is also fine with me. And we could break up the two ideas maybe? Sooo, cram week for May if you don't think it's too soon either, and then asking him to model in December? Even if they're good enough friends by then he's just going to quietly stare at her like she's crazy for a good five minutes and say no a few times before he gives in, lolol. yarn is always a good way to bribe him unless something else comes up He will hate it, but at least he has the build for it. He will just have to deal. \o/

RHIANNON AND KYU-SIK
ooh, yes, splitting up the ideas would be best too, i thnk. we could say that she's been to the store a few times? not too many though, like three times tops or something. a recent development, basically. enough times so that there can be an oh-hey-it's-you sentiment going, but not enough times that they consider each other as anything other than casual acquaintances, maybe? having the modeling thing be in december would actually be very good, i think, since that is when rhiannon would probs be considering re-apping to parsons either during the spring or the following fall, and what better way that to say that she's had her stuff in a fashion show? poor kyusik is gonna have pictures of his face sent to new york though shhh -- if she knows that he likes yarn, she'll probably fish out a catalogue from her bag and tell him he can pick as much yarn of any kind from it and she'll order it for him if he models for her, even if it's like... idk, $500 worth in yarn, because desperate times call for desperate measures. she'll just... tell her parents she needs the money for an extra credit project, yeahhhh. and they'll believe her because fashion school is expensive like all whoa. orz;;

Sounds great!! He wouldn't ask for too much especially since it's for a friend, haha. But he is going to be very " " the whole time. sob he should never be told about the pictures shhhhhhLet's seeeeee, for the cram week, should we wait until the in-game month of May begins to start it? *^* Also, they're in the same stage of the site-wide event! <3 That's not too far off from starting I think.

[atrb=border,0,true] | ◄ | DARRIN "MOOSE" MOORE Man your plot page is super busy. Okay so I briefly pitched it but this is something that won't happen until end of may so it's a bit off. Basically Moose and Rhiannon end up sort of friends with him escorting Rhiannon to the fashion district to help her carry things in exchange for money/food/a shower. Only then she gets a bit too comfortable and gets assaulted by a little gang and Moose would go berserk and feel responsible. ;; Oh my big dumb baby you are so big and dumb. |

RHIANNON AND MOOSE
why thank you, i do try. at the very latest, this thread will happen in early june, but rhiannon will still be in los angeles because next year semester, she'll be renting an apartment near otis instead, and thus just moves in during june. it all depends on how may goes, since there's a lot planned for may already, i think. but if late may can be done, then late may it is! but sdkgsglk OMFG MOOSE YOU BIG DUMB BABY OMG I JUST lskdgsl -- what a sweetie pie amg. ; o ; but yes, yes, i like this plot, it must happen. |: i also really, really like the idea of them becoming friends because i think that being friends with moose would be good for rhiannon in that it would force her to face the more ugly parts of reality and overall become a less... bratty person as she learns to be kinder to the less fortunate? something like that. either way, she's making him a winter jacket someday. |: and buying him lots of food. also, her poor roommate having to deal with moose using their shower. c| she'll owe so many people explanations oops.

Gabriel & Arthur Soooo, Gabe and Artie. If you have room for a thread, want to stick them together and see what happens? Friends, enemies, awkward acquaintances, I dunno. Arthur would probably make Gabe uncomfortable I think, what with his seeming inability to think about consequences + drinking habits, and Arthur would think Gabriel entirely too full of guilt and start to poke around looking for the reason, because that's just who Arthur is. They could meet each other on campus, in the library or something. Or off campus. Arthur is currently looking for a place in LA to stay over the summer so he doesn't have to go all the way home. He could wander into Gabriel's building easily enough.
Rhiannon & Arthur Now as for these two... God I suck at plotting. I just imagine her passing him by one day and him stopping to stare at all the pink, half horror, half awe. I think they could be friends. He'd poke fun at all her gross food habits, but still try and cheer her up with some animal-style fries on a bad day, and she could help him dress himself better and take advantage of his car and driver's license. So long as she doesn't expect him to wear pink.
If you've got any ideas, lemme know.

GABRIEL AND ARTHUR
i do have room on gabriel for one more thread, actually! never really know until we try. the drinking habits would really make gabriel uncomfortable, especially if arthur tries to get him to drink. he's going to have a hard time trying to explain himself out of that one without giving away the real reason why he refuses to even have a single sip. i'd be curious as to how arthur manages to find out about gabriel's guilty conscience though? i'd definitely like to see arthur catch on and keep prodding at it until he unearths the reason though. it won't be easy, but i kinda do want to see what arthur's reaction would be. gabriel is definitely staying over the summer, so he can definitely take arthur in as a roommate. as for how they meet... either they had the same class, or gabriel could have been dragged to a party arthur was also at? the former would be typical, while the latter would make for different first impression of gabriel than usual. :U RHIANNON AND ARTHUR
ah, yes, my little pink terror lol. actually, her little brother took that title. i do think that they would make very interesting friends though. kind of like, the pair of friends who at first glance, no one would think they were friends, but they kinda have this snarky-ish banter going on between them? he could be that one friend who talks her into buying all of the gross-but-tasty junk food stuff that she loves to eat, but 9/10 times would not touch if someone was with her, and thus him making fun of her secretly gross food habits / cravings? and just saying, arthur might want to prepare for quite few bad days in the upcoming month or so. i mean, there's that whole thing with snakes at a masquerade at the moment and then a future destiny creature attack. fun times, he'll get to hear her complain about things that don't really make sense. :'D and can wonder if she needs to go see a doctor or something. and lol, yes, ride-mooching will happen, and he'd probably get enlisted to help be one of her fashion models / human mannequins a lot. :B and don't worry, she doesn't think pink is his color. |D Rogue requests to have Rhiannon try to attempt to pluck Arthur's eyebrows.

Gabriel & Arthur XD Meh, Arthur wouldn't really PUSH him to drink. Not seriously anyway. As for picking up on the guilty conscience, well if Gabriel's not very obvious about it I figured it'd just be one of those things that Arthur starts to recognize once he gets to know Gabriel better- over time. Or if he just wears Gabriel down and the poor guy slips in some way. Also, I didn't necessarily mean roommates. Arthur is the kind of guy to start living with someone he's just met yes, but I wasn't sure if Gabriel was or not. They could be neighbors or something if he's not. *shrugshrug* Meetings-wise, I could do the party thing easily enough. Normally Arthur would be mingling and whatnot, but he hasn't actually done a lot of partying and friend-making during those first two quarters. Now he's trying to make up for lost time, and would probably notice Gabriel off on the sidelines (where I'm assuming he'd prefer to be, AWAY from the drinks and all).
What if they ran into each other (literally?) during Arthur's apartment search the day before or something but didn't say a word to each other then, but when Arthur recognizes him at the party he comes over to say 'hello'? "I KNOW YOU!".
Rhiannon & Arthur ARGH. I feel like I shouldn't steal away both of your characters with just my one, but I love both of them so much! XD All you said sounds good. As for a possible meeting... Well l was thinking she might catch Arthur's rude staring, snarks at him in some way (implies he was undressing her with his eyes or something?). He denies denies denies (it really is just all the PINK), and the two strike up a not-quite-friendly yet conversation from there.
