Ｗｅ'ｌｌ ｂｅ ｃｏｕｎｔｉｎ' ｓｔａｒｓ.

Everything that drowns me, makes me wanna fly. ---> You work in an aquarium in some part of the US. You love your job, but everyday has become routine, rather than an exciting experience. You need to do something crazy, enriching, beautiful, and wild. It's time to break away from the ordinary; Normal is just too underrated. You and a friend (whom you work with) decide to take a trip; one that will truly change you forever. You will travel to first to Iceland, then Norway, then Alaska, then Greenland, living on a expertly-crafted ship. Your lives will certainly be altered by the raw beauty of nature you will witness while on this journey. You will be able to admire your beloved marine creatures in the wild, and be left breathless by their spiritual majesty. Perhaps the pureness of the sea will be able to whisk away the pain of life, growing up, and simply reality itself. Life had come down hard on you in recent times, and you have learned what it is to be an adult; something you have prepared your entire life for. It's time to free yourself. Let it all go, dance in the rain, and count the stars.

Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be.
But baby I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Yeah, we'll be counting stars.

I see this life like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line, In my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye shall find.

Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told.

I feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing
I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Ｉ ｓｅｅ ｔｈｉｓ ｌｉｆｅ ｌｉｋｅ ａ ｓｗｉｎｇｉｎ' ｖｉｎｅ

Ｓｗｉｎｇ ｍｙ ｈｅａｒｔ ａｃｒｏｓｓ ｔｈｅ ｌｉｎｅ.

Note: This is a literate RP, and I do have expectations. I understand that we don't always have a muse, but please try to write at least 4 to 5 lines minimum. Also, your main character's age must be from 17 to 24.
If you aren't very active, then this might not be the right thread for you. I need devoted members c: Now, for the rules.


I don't have many rules; I'm sure by now you all know the basics.

x. all cs rules apply.

x. No god-modeling/mary-sues & gary-sues/drama queens/crush-stealing. It gets beyond annoying.

x. Please don't make your characters cutters, suicidal, anorexic, or anything of the sort. If it was something they went through in the past, fine. We don't need that kind of drama here. This role-play is supposed to be an enriching experience about rediscovering life, and realizing that the world still holds beauty. To put it simply, I don't want any heavy stuff bringin' me down D:

x. Please make your characters the appropriate age. Also, don't put a picture of a 10-year-old on your form and say that he's/she's 21 (believe it or not, it happens). That's not okay. Our general age range is from 17-24.

x. No explicit content allowed. Any cussing/gruesomeness/heavy drinking/sexual content, and I will expel you from the thread.

x.I highly encourage character relations! Your characters are definitely allowed to be friends prior to the trip.

x. I encourage the use of your own forms! However, if you don't really have a formal outline, I have one that I'd love to share.

x. Action is encouraged! I want everyone to have fun here c:

x. If you need anything at all, please PM me. I will do coding, answer questions, whatever you need c:

x. Feel free to RP in any point of view that you want! c:

x. No OOC fighting. I doubt it will happen, but you never know.

x. Do not kill off a character without the owner's permission. I honestly don't think that will occur in this type of RP, but you never know.

x. If your characters have crushes/enemies, let me know so I can keep track.

x. Have fun! I hope to make new friends! :D

x. Rescues don't happen every day. Please do not make them reoccur often.

x. Pay attention to the front page's updates.

x. Animals don't need a form. Just their name, picture, and who plays them. If you want to impress me, then including an overall personality will do it c; Please PM me for legitimate pictures.

x. Learn something! I love marine science, and spreading knowledge to others is what I want to accomplish! Eventually, I hope to work in the fields of marine mammal behaviorism and aquatic medicine.

x. Travel will occur every few weeks in RP time as well as real time. I want this thread to last as long as possible, so please try to go along with it. I will post updates every now and then about what's going on, where the boat is, what the weather's like, along with a brief recap.

x. **will add more as they come of need**

Please, no more PM reservations!

Avicii- Wake Me Up

Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start
They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
[x2]

I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
I hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans
Wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is the prize

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
[x2]

I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost

Personality:
How do I describe my own personality? Can't you take time to actually meet me?
I couldn't tell you a bunch of fake things about me if I wanted to lie. You're lucky
that I won't though. Anyways, let's see. The first trait is outgoing. I'm not afraid to
voice my opinion or talk to anyone. I could start a mob if I wanted to. Yell into a
crowd, scream in Walmart, run down the isles yelling "Batman!" I don't care. Doesn't
scare me. Another trait is confident. My body is great okay? I have a flat stomach,
so what. Do you think I care, no one has to be fat. Not that hard to work out.
Okay, back on track. I'm never afraid of anyone or their opinion. If they talk about
you it means you're on their mind. Self harm is stupid! Don't hurt yourself because
of something you could've changed or because of one persons words. You know
who you are, don't be what they make you!

History:
I was born and raised in the ghetto. To a crappy mom and a good dad. Lisa
and Tim. Not too hard to remember right? My brother Ace and I lived in hell. When
I was ten years young my alcoholic mother known as Lisa died of kidney failure.
In my opinion she deserved it, but hey people would think I was insane if I told them
I wanted her to die. I don't miss her though. I always had Ace. Anyways when I was
sixteen my father was killed during a poker game. People take things too seriously!
At that age Ace was twenty one so he let me live with him. He joined the Marine
Corp. at the beginning of that year and a few months later when he was deployed.... he
was uh- he was killed. That killed me. I had nothing left so I started an online college
course and moved to Florida from New York to work here at Mote. Not much to it and
I don't want to bore you with too much detail that you won't want to read.

Hi,I'm Dakota...Its nice to meet you.. I guess i'll start with my name,I was named after nobody.But my name is native american,from like the tribe times,yanno? It means friend,or forever smiling..Hah,isn't that funny? What a joke it is for a name like that for someone like me.

Piercings; Snake bites,and his septum.Also he has gauges.
Scars;One on his neck from a attempt of suicide.And a whole bunch on his wrist and legs from self harm.

Well now down to my body,yippie..Well,i'm somewhat short in my eyes since my family is all really tall.I am 6'2.Though they are much on the big side,I work out and take care of my body so i'm more lean and built then they would ever be.Haha exactly 138 pounds baby!For body mods,coming to tattoos don't even ask,I got so many i can't remember! Just kidding you,though I have a lot of tattoos they all have a meaning to me,they are all special and have something to say about me or whatever else they mean to me.I have gauges,2 inchers..and proud,so don't make fun of me.My septum is pierced,and along with both sides of my lips,snake bites. I have long dark brown,almost black hair. My eyes are crystal blue.

You want to get in huh? On my past?My beat down broken past,its a story to tell but go for it.
When I was little my aunt was diagnosed with cancer,of course I lived with her,so her death was hard on me. So I moved back in with my parents.along with my brother Louis.I had a hard time dealing with all this,but soon enough it was better and i got over it. But then my mother tried to have another child,our baby sister Lea,but she was still born and our mother died at birth.I was only 12 and my brother was 16. At age 17..he couldn't do it anymore.Our dad abused us,he would beat us and down grade us. When my brother killed himself.He blamed the deaths of the family on him,and thought they were his fault,so he ended all the suffering and guilt.Now his suicide hit me hard,and i'm suffering from the same thing,if only i was there with him that day,if only i wasn't in school.He would be here with us today...Maybe even..better.Now I see life as it is and its hard to go thrugh things but it will get better.

Personality;
Quite
Shy
Timid

I am shy annd quite,i tend to keep to myself then go towards others first.I have had a rough past and become anti social.I don't trust very well and i try not to be around anybody unless needed.I dont show many emotions and barely spaeak,I speak with my actions not words.

Hello, My name is Jason Andrews.I do have a nickname that even people I don't know-or barely know- call me, and that's Jay. I don't mind nicknames as long as you are right in using them.
I am twenty-one years old. Yeah, I'm an older guy, so what? Im not nat much older than the people graduating high school!
I am a guy, in case that wasn't obvious. I actually checked this morning, and guess what I found out? I don't have boobs! Amazing right? I know, I thought so too.
Anyway, I suppose I should tell you a bit more about myself. I would say that I am a fun loving guy who is pretty much a jokester. I don't take many things seriously. However, when I am angry, the jokester takes the bench and I can do some bad damage. I've broken bones before, and I've been suspended from school for doing it. Yeah, I would say I have a bit of an anger issue. It's a good thing that I don't get mad too often. Anyway, back onto the good stuff about me. I am that kind of guy who can make you smile on the worst day of your life. I really don't like seeing people upset, and so, I do my best to keep them happy!
Alright, on to my past. I grew up in a catholic home where we went to church every sunday and prayed with those stupid beads. Yeah, not for me. Any way, my household was a pretty good place for a kid to grow up in. Not like one of those homes where the dad beats the mom up, or they are alcoholics and pay no attention to their kids. I was always fed, always had shoes on my feet, and never had to walk in the snow. I did have an older brother, don't ask me where he went. He got into all the drugs and alcohol and never came back. Alright, back to the happy stuff. My mom is still alive, but my dad has passed away, wait... that isn't too happy. Well, after high school, I went and studied at a community college for politics and crap like that. However, it didn't suit me. Instead, I joined the military. Yeah, some what of a frank decision, but, it worked. I went on my first run and found that the military is the place for me. I am a Marine, and just got back not too long ago. At first, I thought about joining the Air Force, but, I decided against it. Yes, I have been wounded in battle before. In fact, I have a scar on my lower abdomen where a bullet pierced through my vest. I took it well. That day, it didn't matter that I was injured, because I had saved someone else. A little boy that had been caught in the lane of fire.
I have a couple of tattoo's. On my right shoulder, I have a tribal in black that completely covers my shoulder blade. Then, across my right peck is part of Invictus. Basically, it says Invictus in a tribal font and underneath it says Master of My Fate. Then, I have two masks (the theatre ones) on my left shoulder with a quote that says Never laugh when no one's around. Im thinking about getting one for my girlfriend, but, I kind of want to wait until we are married to do that. God forbid we break up, and I have her name tattooed on me.
Ex's? Alright, yeah, I've had a few. Sophomore year I dated a girl named Julia. she was alright, but she was too clingy and needy. Always asked me when I was going to give her things. Junior year I dated a girl named Danielle and that lasted for about a week, when she broke it of because she wanted to date someone else.

@S y k e s ;; I hate to be such a rule-nazi, but if you could please refer to the third rule :c

@peace. ;; accepted :)

[idyllic]

Jeremiah Cornelius Dufort
Hi, my name is Jeremiah, Dufort. Spelled J-E-R-E-M-I-A-H. Please don't call me that though, I like Jeremy better. I don't like my name a whole lot, it's too complicated, but that's what you get when you have English parents. Also don't you dare call me Jerry, don't you dare.

Well, I am 18 years old and 8 months, I will be 19 in the summer. Most people say I look quite young, I am though! Jeez, it's not like when you turn 18 you immediately become old. Also, I'm a guy, in case you didn't notice.

How would I describe myself? Well, I would call my height average, I'm 6'0 feet tall, I enjoy my height. I like my eyes too, my mother always said they were a piercing, icy blue. I also have dirty blonde hair, though I always wished I had dark brown hair, but you always want what you can't have, right?

Well, if you want to know about my family ask my mom. She's one of those people that has a huge family tree and knows all about her ancestry. I just know that I lived with my mom, since my father was killed in war when I was 1. I don't remember him, but my grandfather was like my second dad. He was great, so was my grandmum, I loved them both a lot. When they died a few years ago, it-t affected me. But that's in the past. So anyway, my mom. We lived in a small flat in London until I was 14. We then moved to Vancouver and I went to high school there. I was always the new kid, the outcast, but hey, at least I had a few best friends. I'd rather have a couple best friends than 10 'friends' that will stab you in the back the first chance they got. Ever since I was little I wanted to study Marine Biology, so when I got a scholarship to the Vancouver School of Marine Biology and then got sent to the Vancouver Aquarium to work, I was very excited. So there, that's my past. Oh, and I still have English accent.

Crushs? No, nobody. Also it may be surprising to some, but I'm still a virgin too. Ex's? Well I dated one girl back in High School, her name was Ruby. We broke up after a year though.

Some likes? Well I enjoy Marine Biology obviously. But I also like write, I have a few unfinished novels saved on my laptop. I'm also a huge tea addict. Cliche, I know, but it's really good. I like it better than coffee. If you can make good tea you've found the way to my heart.

My personality in a nutshell? Well, I'm a Virgo, since my birthday is on August 26. This website I looked at earlier said 'Virgo exists in the mind, everything is inside. To the world, Virgo presents a calm and collected exterior but on the inside, nervous uncontrolled intensity in the mind, trying to figure things out, how to improve everything, analyzing and thinking. Virgo can tire itself out without even moving!' And I think that's a pretty good explanation. In my words though I think that I can be very analytical, I am always trying to figure out who, what, where, when, why, how etc. I have a constant drive to improve and perfect it, this can lead to me being extremely picky and finicky. I can sometimes be inflexible, I don't like changing plans to accommodate other things.

What it's like to date me? Wow, personal question. But fine, I would say I have a cool exterior with a sensitive interior. I have tremendous respect for a woman and will always treat her like and equal. I prefer woman who stir my emotions because I am quite reluctant to express my own. So, dating me and what attracts me in a nutshell.

I think that's it, so, that's me. If you have a problem with me, I don't care.
