Skins [STUFF]

Okay, so I've given it some time to think it over and I've decided to move along without a few characters. This isn't anything personal because I like all of you and think each of you are very talented, but I don't have much of a patience any more and I desperately need to move the story along. Like many people before me have said, "Sorry, nothing personal, it's just business."

Anyway, so as I've stated before, I want to think of this rpg as a television show so in the way of doing this, I'm simply going to write characters off of the show. If you have any issues with that and can prove to me that you deserve to keep your spot then you'll must certainly keep your spot but be reduced to reoccurring until you can show me that you do have commitment to Skins. Right now, I'm going to post a revised list of the cast parts and the episodes.

-Cast List-

Nathaniel “Nate” Graham, played by Me.
Amara Jones, played by Me.
Collin “Cole” Ashton, played by Gina.
Elias Delgado, played by Hollie.
Jamie Waters, played by Eva.
Bedford “Ford” McKlennan VI, played by Landon.

-Supporting Cast-

Salome Yorke, played by Me.
Candice "Candy" Barr, played by Hollie
Clyde Sihanouk, played by Gafe.

This of course means I've cut Britney and Christian Loftin as well as Maylin from their lead roles. The only way they can be brought back is if I'm convinced they belong in the story any longer, but as for now I will be writing them off pretty soon or they're reduced to reoccurring. I understand things come up and people get busy, but I want to move ahead and not look back. So I've revised the episode list a few times now and I think I have something we can all work with.

-Episode List-

Episode 1: Everyone.
Episode 2: Amara.
Episode 3: Ford.
Episode 4: Jamie.
Episode 5: Elias.
Episode 6: Cole.
Episode 7: Nate
Episode 8: Everyone

I do have the second episode finished and written out, but I'm going to post it when I feel we've made it far enough in the first episode. Until next time, stay fab peeps!

Yay! So we're done with the first episode and we're currently in the process in beginning the second one. What I wanted to do first was post an updated relationship list for those characters who've taken on an important part in the first episode. These characters at the moment are the ones we will be referring to as the main cast. I know this cast has both dropped and added people in as much as any show on television, but I very much like the idea of having an ensemble cast as long as it isn't overwhelmingly large.

So now that we're through that, here's the synopsis for the next episode:

Episode 102 – “Amara”

Having been a boy’s girl all her life, Amara finally wants to know what it feels like to be loved by the opposite sex. Not really knowing what it feels like to be in a “real” relationship, the tomboy enlists in the help of an enemy to help spice up her wardrobe, give her a few pointers, and show her the ropes in what it’s like to reel in a man of her own. There’s just one problem though.. Amara doesn’t feel like herself. Will she lose her identity in the process of proving to the world that she can be sexy?

Meanwhile.. Cole is trying to get over the emotions and events of Halloween night. Did something more happen that he can’t call himself remembering? And what of his feeling for best friend Nate? Could it have only been the alcohol or something lying deeper within?

Everyone let me know what you think of the episode and if you have any ideas on possible scenes we can do.

Name: Lola-Saffron Dalisay (but just call her Lola)

Appearance:

Naturally, Lola has chestnut brown hair that falls to the middle of her back, but she recently dyed her hair jet black to dramatize her features. She’s admittedly also added a few extensions for fullness. Her brown eyes, covered in long and thin eyelashes, are all too expressive, but she tries to use them to her advantage. Having doe eyes make her seem much more innocent that she is and she can influence men all over to give her what she’s sure they both want. Her nose is slim and a bit bulbous at the tip and her cheekbones are high while her cheeks full, giving her a slight baby face. You’ll probably see her suck in her cheeks a little if she’s eying someone, or if she feels insecure, or – well, it’s become quite the habit by now and she does it without even noticing it. She was blessed to have been born with naturally shaped eyebrows. They’re thick without being bushy and add to the softness of her face. Lola’s got a naturally mild face and she doesn’t mind sprucing it up a bit with makeup. Her full lips are often painted peach, pink, or, if she’s feeling feisty, red while she silhouettes her doe eyes in smoky makeup. She’s not very picky about what goes on her face and almost every color works well with her medium skin tone. They are thick while not reaching the point of being bushy and long to the point of creeping past the outer corner of her eyes. Having danced for thirteen years, it’s debatable whether she has a “dancer’s body”. Lola stands at a medium height of 5’6 with an hourglass curvature – well almost. She is slim while her breasts are naturally full and often bring attention; at the same time,, her hips are stick-like and her ass non-existent in comparison. If someone looked long enough, it would almost look like she would tip over at the chest if she wasn’t careful. But as long as the gentlemen don’t complain, she’s happy. They love her ass… Also she’s got two piercings in each ear along with a belly button stud and a tattoo that abstractly resembles Clara Bow on her lower backside.

Clothing Style: Clothing wise, Lola usually dresses what she calls ‘understated boldness’. Lola favors femininity and moderate sexiness when it comes to style. She prefers bolder colors - such as black, deep blue, forest green, royal purples - when she feels adventurous, plus they make her skin glow, she feels. Her favorite, though, is red. On a lighter side, she enjoys summery pastels. Despite the fact that her legs aren’t as long as she’d like them to be, Lola loves to show them off – mainly in tiny shorts. She prefers to be show herself off in some sort of form fitting clothing. Not exactly to the point of being an all out slut, just to show that she’s very comfortable with her body. Surprisingly, jewelry is used minimally with her as she usually opts for simple hoop earring and a ring or something of the like.

3 Personality Traits: Seductive. Carefree. Overly expressive.

Interests: Her main concerns are sex, dancing, and whatever drug she's going to be under the influence next. She's very concerned about her friends, too. Usually when she does the things she does, she doesn't care who she hurts, yet she doesn't go out of her way to hurt anyone either. She prefers to just live her life without anyone outsider's commentary. However, she's extremely loyal to people who care enough for her to care about them (Yes, she pretty much loves anyone who loves her.) and Lola will do anything to keep from betraying them.

Dislikes: Being used - Lola's worked on her strategy since practically birth. She thinks she knows exactly when to be forward and when to tease and play hard to get, so for the player to get played really gets her agitated. Being smothered - just...no. Don't try and play mommy or daddy. Females - with some exceptions. She's just never gotten along with the majority of them. Not just because of jealousy over boys, but it's been like that since she was elementary school. It may surprise you, but she doesn't care where you got your shoes from and, yes, she talks about sex. A lot. And YES, she just gave 'the eye' to your crush because if you don't do anything about, she will. Boredom - 'Only boring people are bored.' She's not one of those people. She doesn't care if it's just her, a padded room, and a string. Lola better have something do or else she'll show you what crazy truly looks like.

Brief History: Lola’s mother had her a quite young age, 19, as the product of a small over-sexified fling. Surprisingly, her mother actually kept her and vaguely, decently cared for her and also, surprisingly, she remains in substantial contact with both her parents. Her father isn’t exactly the most financially stable guy, and they both agreed she’d get full custody. Her mother, Mari, makes a nice living off of planning events and such though she’s not exactly a model mother. She is quite the promiscuous one herself. For years Lola watched her bring home men in and out, usually never more than twice. Lola usually had nice things and clothes, but she became a distant concern when they came around. Used to being ignored, she soaked up the attention the grown men would give her. They’d give her presents and say things like “You’re such a pretty girl. One day, you’ll grow up to be as beautiful as your mom.” As a little girl she really admired her mom and how she always made men fall to her knees. Determined to be like her, she became a bit of a flirt at a really young and had more guy “friends” than girls.

As for her dad, she remained close to him as well. While her mother provided for her, Lola often went to him when her mom needed Lola out of hair, or if she needed advice that her mother didn’t want to give her. She never actually saw him as “dad”; really, she even calls him by his first name, Charles. He’s more of a friendly uncle to her than a father, which is good because he isn’t exactly living large. They don’t talk about everything of course, but he’s the only adult figure who’ll give her the time of day. In another method of getting Lola out of her hair, her mom put her in dance classes when she was four. She took everything – ballet, jazz, tap, even Fun Bop (the kid friendly version of hip hop). At first, she only went because Mari wouldn’t let her quit, but she grew to love it and use it to her advantage.

I watched as the sun crept over the trees outside of my bedroom window. The clock read 5:47 AM. Heh. I had only been home for two hours. Wanna know something better? My fucking mom got in an hour after me. Fuckin' hell... My teased hair was a messes and I went from smoky eyed vixen to soon-to-be hungover raccoon. Still who cares when Molly and Mary Jane are on your side? To be honest, all I wanted was sleep, but I was due for morning beckoning and a little over an hour and if I had to attend the shit-hole, I wanted the buzz of last night/this morning to accompany me.

Ah, my bed is so soft...

Ebony hair spilled over the side of my bed as I watched the sun rise from my upside down position. The smell of vodka hit me every couple of minutes. Some girl thought it'd be funny to throw her drink on me after dancing with her ..."boyfriend". He said he didn't know her. Even more so, she thought it'd bother me. It was sort of pathetic, especially seeing as she halfway missed and only got my shoulder. But the best part was seeing some broad attempt to give a guy a lap dance and throw up - in his mouth. Ha! I laughed for days. Wait. I'm laughing now!

My giggles grew more ferocious as I clutched the duvet. I'm going to laugh forever!

Shit...now I have to throw up.
