Secrets of the Heart (semi-lit troubled teen/romance rp)

Postby ZephyrWolf » Sun Oct 31, 2010 11:28 am

~Plot~

An alarmingly large amount of students at the local high school are troubled and the community was so concerned that they got together and created a plan for a clinic that those students could go to for help. While it is the students' choice to go to the clinic or not, for some exceptionally troubled teens, the principal mandates that they must attend. For half of the school day, those students attend the high school, but after lunch, they head over to the clinic to get help. From problems from depression to drug or alcohol abuse, this clinic can help resolve very nearly any issues.Oddly enough, a common trend is seen in all of the troubled teens, who seem to fall into two distinct categories:

1) Those who claim to be straight, but either hide or deny the fact that they are of some other sexual orientation for various reasons. This usually results in depression or substance abuse because of their repressed feelings, but it isn't usually as bad of an issue as the second category presents.
2) Those who accept and aren't afraid to show that they aren't straight. Because these students are often taunted, teased, and pranked excessively, they often have low self-esteem and depression, and many resort to using drugs or alcohol to help with the pain. These students' problems are often the most severe and pose more of a threat to their own health.

Because of these two categories having one main thing in common, this clinic is trying a new type of therapy. The professionals who run it believe that love is the answer to these kids' problems, and so they run the clinic almost like a dating service, although it is much more personal and each student's needs are catered to individually to provide the best chance for their recovery. Some take longer than others to find another person they love, but if they remember that love is from the heart, then each one of them will find who they were meant to be with...their true love.


~Rules~

1) All of Tess' rules apply, no exceptions!
2) Romance is encouraged, but keep it pg-13
3) Please fill in all areas of the form. Do NOT leave anything blank or say anything to the effect of 'will rp it out'
4) This is a semi-lit rp, so at least one well-developed paragraph for each character is the minimum. The only exception is an occasional writer's block
5) You may have as many characters as you can handle
6) Please try to keep genders even
7) You may not have your own characters fall in love with each other, as that takes away the fun
8) If you become inactive for a week or longer without saying so before hand, I reserve the right to delete your characters, although there may be some exceptions
9) All characters must fall into one of the two categories listed in the plot. No exceptions
10) Have fun!

Name: Kai Owens
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Grade: 9th Grade/Freshman
Sexuality: Category 1
Kai knows and accepts that he is gay, although he fears what will happen if anyone finds out, so he hides his secret from everyone, including his father.
Reason for Attending the Clinic: Inflicting self-harm, occasional bouts of lashing out in anger, and moderate drug use
Crush/Boyfriend/Girlfriend: Open
Appearance:
Kai is quite tall for his age, almost reaching six foot. He sports a six pack and his messy brown hair is actually quite attractive. His deep blue eyes hide his secret.
Personality:
Kai has a bit of a bad-boy attitude, usually doing what he wants, when he want, which can sometimes get him into trouble. Despite his bad tendencies, he can be nice sometimes if he feels like it. He has been known to dapple with drugs a bit, but not excessively like some of his friends. He is a bit pushy though and will often do whatever he can to achieve what he wants.
His father doesn't know, however, that Kai is gay, because he is afraid to find out what would happen if he knew. In fact, nobody knows the truth that he is hiding. Although Kai accepts it, he will never tell anyone, afraid that what he sees happening to other teens would happen to him, only worse because he is a freshman.
History:
Kai was raised by his father after his mother was killed in a car crash when he was in middle school. He was brought up to be tough and to not give in to others, to achieve what he wanted however he had to as long as it was legal, although sometimes, that didn't happen. Kai was given almost anything he wanted from his father, playing him for a fool, using his mother's death as an excuse for almost everything.
Other: None

Name: Hazel Caldwell
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Grade: 10th Grade/Sophomore
Sexuality: Category 1
She keeps telling herself that she is straight, denying the nagging truth that she may actually be bisexual
Reason for Attending the Clinic: Low self-esteem and mild depression
Love Interest: Open
Appearance:
Hazel is slim at 5'5" and 125 pounds. She has long, chestnut-brown hair that falls past her shoulders in ringlets and she also has hazel eyes.
Personality:
Hazel is naturally quiet and shy, much preferring to keep to herself. She is very book smart, but lacks good street smarts because of her sheltered life. She is introverted and tries not to draw attention to herself. Because of this, it is often difficult for her to make friends, but once she gets to know someone and trusts them, there isn't anyone that could be a better friend than Hazel. She would do anything for her friends, but her one major flaw is that she doesn't believe that her friends could ever betray her trust. Although nobody has yet, it is only a matter of time until one of her friends turns on her, as is the nature of high school girls.Hazel is naturally quiet and shy, much preferring to keep to herself.

Although nobody has yet, it is only a matter of time until one of her friends turns on her, as is the nature of high school girls.
Hazel appears straight to everyone, although she is too shy to let guys know that she likes them. But she does tell her friends who she has crushes on. What she doesn't tell them, however, is something that she herself won't even accept. She has recently begun to feel differently about certain girls than she used to. Although she doesn't want to admit it even to herself, she is afraid that she is being attracted to girls, as well as boys. She figured out that she occasionally gets bi-curious, but not actually bisexual since those feelings go away after awhile. She is convinced that is is just a phase and she will be able to get over it, so she hides her feelings for girls, hoping nobody will notice. Deep in her heart though, she wonders if she might be bisexual, although she won't admit that to herself.
History:
When Hazel was younger, she was louder and more outgoing, more expressive, even when her parents got divorced. But when her mother got remarried, her new husband treated Hazel like a pet rather than a child. Anytime she was being annoying, he would punish her, sometimes physically abusing her. She quickly learned that she wouldn't be beaten if she was quiet and stayed out of his way, so that aspect of her personality is still very noticeable in her.
Other: None

Name: Thane Collins
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Grade: 11th Grade/Junior
Sexuality: Category 2
Thane is bisexual and accepts it, although he gets crap for it all the time from people he doesn't even know, and worst of all, his former friends.
Reason for Attending the Clinic: Moderate alcohol use and very mild drug use
Love Interest: Open
Appearance:
Thane is handsome, lean, and muscular. Just shy of six feet tall, he is quite attractive with his jet-black hair and dazzling green eyes.
Personality:
Thane is considered one of the 'popular' kids in school and acts accordingly. He acts cool and indifferent about a lot of things, except for girls. Thane, like most guys in high school, can't resist a cute girl and is is rare if a day goes by without him trying to impress one of them or flirting. He hangs out with other popular kids as well, mostly jocks. His charming smile makes it hard for the girls to resist him, and his 'too-cool' attitude gets him most of his guy friends. Despite his seemingly uncaring personality, Thane is quite romantic, always trying to impress the ones he likes. He is very sweet and kind to them, although he puts up a tough front for his friends.
Thane has known that he is bisexual since almost the beginning of high school and he has accepted this fact. However, he knew that the people that he hung out with would shun him if they knew this, so he hid it from everyone. He only showed affection toward girls, keeping his feelings for other guys to himself when he is around anyone he knows. Until one day, it became too much and Thane couldn't keep it a secret anymore. As he predicted, he lost almost all of his friends and he frequently gets crap because of it.
History:
Thane grew up in a normal, supportive household for his entire life and because of that, he has excelled through life. He is smart, handsome, athletic, and popular. What more could a guy want? He has had several girlfriends before, but never one that he has been in a steady relationship with. Perhaps this is the reason that he accepts his bisexuality. He has admittedly tried smoking before, although he didn't like it at all. Surprisingly, he has always denied drugs, never using an illegal substance in his life, although he does occasionally drink. Other than that, Thane is a very successful teenage boy with everything going for him.
Other: None

Name: Alexandria (Alex) Jacobs
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Grade: 12th Grade/Senior
Sexuality: Category 2
Alex is a lesbian and doesn't care if anyone knows. She is not exactly in the popular crowd because of her openness and she is insulted a lot, but she still won't hesitate to openly express how she feels about a girl she likes, knowing that she can't keep her emotions hidden for long.
Reason for Attending the Clinic: Bouts of moderate to severe depression and quite heavy drinking
Love Interest: Open
Appearance:
Alex is a little on the short side but her slim figure and black hair is quite attractive, especially when she wears makeup, accenting her bright blue eyes.
Personality:
Alex is a bit of a tomboy and she is definitely not shy. She has close friends of both genders and her outgoing nature helps her to make friends with almost anyone, although sadly, her openness about being a lesbian often deters many people from wanting to be her friend. Although she isn't the smartest kid in school, Alex has a lot of common sense, which is good because she knows what is appropriate to say or do at certain times, and what isn't. She has a fiery personality and can get worked up quite quickly about certain issues, but for the most part, she is easy to get along with. She also doesn't hesitate to speak her mind or offer her opinion when she feels that it could be useful.
Alex has known that she was different than most girls for as long as she could remember. While her friends spoke about cute guys, she would always wonder why they made such a big deal when she didn't think that they were actually that attractive at all. For awhile, she had no idea why she didn't feel the same way about guys that other girls seemed to, but then she began to figure it all out. They way they felt about cute guys, she began to feel for cute girls, she realized. As soon as she learned the word 'lesbian' and what it meant, she knew instantly that she was a lesbian. For awhile though, she hid her sexuality, but after some time, she began to find it difficult to keep her emotions for girls secret as she felt more and more attracted to them and decided that she could no longer keep it a secret. Since then, she has been very open about her sexual preference and isn't afraid to tell other girls if she likes them, especially if she thinks they may be bisexual or lesbian. She often gets a lot of crap for it, but Alex usually just lets it roll of her back. She has been raised to know that it's only her opinion that counts.
History:
Alex grew up in a kind, loving family, until one day, she came home from school and instead of her parents, she found police in her house. With a brief explanation that her parents were dead, they took her to live with her next of kin, her aunt and uncle. Both alcoholics, she suffered years of abuse and mistreatment from them. They only thought of her as a nuisance, and never bothered with her except when it was to discipline her actions. Things only got worse when they found out that she was lesbian because, being hardcore religious Catholics, they shunned homosexuality. They make Alex go to therapy sessions every week in hopes of "curing" her, although she knows that there is no way that's going to happen.

Name: Anne Darke
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Grade: 12th/Senior
Sexuality: Category 2
Anne is openly bisexual, and for that, is often insulted and made fun of, even through all that, Anne doesn't hide her sexuality, acting as if the insults don't hurt and often keeping to herself.
Reason for Attending the Clinic: Has mild depression and low self-esteem, sometimes inflicts self-harm, abuses alcohol.
Love Interest: Alexandria Jacobs (if you're alright with that, of course)
Appearance: Her being slightly underweight shows, her limbs are bony and thin. Her hair is dark brown, nearly black, and curly. Her ends are split, and her hair reaches just past her shoulders. Her eyes match her hair in color, and are often masked by her black rimmed, square-shaped glasses.
Personality: Anne is pretty much the definition of "the girl next door", she is shy, and doesn't talk much. Anne was always self-conscious, but figuring out that she was bisexual had a big impact on what she thinks of herself. Anne had been fairly popular and social up until halfway through her ninth grade year. Anne had a boyfriend when she figured out her feelings for her close, female best friend, and confessed to her. Her boyfriend called later that night to break up with her, and the next day at school, her locker was spray-painted with the word 'lesbo' in big, red letters. Anne became very quiet after that, and tried to disappear from everyone's radar, but couldn't quite. As the insults got worse, her grades got worse, even if she was intelligent, as did her self-esteem. Anne began self-harming and by junior year, she was abusing alcohol to escape her pain. Anne gave up on being social and popular and has fell from her high status on the social latter.
History: Anne was raised by her father, as her mother left when she was young. Her father was bitter and abused her both physically and verbally, hitting her, yelling at her, and getting so drunk he didn't remember anything he did. Once Anne came out about her being bisexual, her father lost it and attacked her in a drunken fit. Anne escaped, narrowly, and was taken into a group home. Anne was taken in to a family with six other girls, and developed a crush on one of them. Anne was taunted by the girl, and once Anne turned eighteen, left the foster home, knowing pursuing the crush was hopeless. Anne got herself a tiny apartment, and went back to school after a long break. By then, the principle had made it mandatory for her to go to the clinic, where she met Alex.
