everything goes numb --semi literate|accepting

[aberdeen]

"...and the story goes like this: everything went numb

for the money and the guns, and everytime he'd think it out:
"there's nothing to worry about; get in the van, don't deviate from the plan. If everything goes smooth then you'll walk away a rich man"

I never planned for my life to turn out this way. I don't think anyone ever plans to end up as a criminal but it happens and that's just the way it is. After a certain point there is no turning back.

With the barrel of your gun pressed up against a bank tellers forehead you don't think about what you could have been, what had happened in the past, who you thought you were, or even what you are becoming. Your whole being goes numb. To everything, the terrified faces of innocent bank workers and the shocked sometimes begging and crying citizens as you threaten to take away their lives. Sometimes you might even have to act upon your threats but we're thieves not killers, most anyway. In the end it doesn't matter what you as you are. You have to do what you have to to safe yourself.

In this line of work there is no loyalty, no friends, no love. Just guns, money, and numbness.

"so it begins, everybody walks in.
Could this be the way or the day that the underdog wins?
I think not. So i bet on the feds because
the black hat men never win in the end."

This roleplay is the story of a group of bank robbers; four men and two women. They have made quite the name for themselves and stories of their infamous heist cover the front pages of almost every newspaper in the country and they have no plans to stop anytime soon. The police are getting rather fed up with a bunch of young adults escaping arrest time after time. The banks they target or seemingly random and spread across any of the states in America. They are the most wanted in country by far; the slightest mistake could end it all. With a group of most likely unstable young people it seems like only a matter of time.

The group fight among each other and if there was any friendship between them to begin its starting to crack under the intense pressure that the law is putting on them. Not to mention the lifestyle of being on the run and living a life full of violence is bound to take a toll on anyone. The only question they have is how much longer do they have left before the police and karma will caught up to them.

"Ski mask! (check!)
Sawed off! (check!)
Guilty conscience, fear of death!
(check! check! check!)

Everything went numb when he stumbled upon what he thought
was going to be another means to the end.

It all went down like his nightmare the night before...

[Aniki]

Name: “What’s up? My name is Rebakah Rae Cooper. For the most part people call me by my middle name Rae.”
Age: “I’m at the wonderful age of twenty.”
Gender: “I'm very much a girl. I have all the correct female body parts.”
Orientation: “I’ve fooled around with both sexes once or twice before, but found myself enjoying the touch of a guy more so.”



Flaws: “Besides the fact that I run in a bank robbery gang?” She cocked her head to the side and gives you a blank expression. “Next question.”
Height & Weight: “I’m about five foot seven and close to hundred fifteen pounds.”
Hair color & Length: “Dark brown hair that goes close to the mid back. My bangs are dyed a creamy white. Why? I love Rouge from the X-Men.”
Skin color & Marks: “Pale skin and freckles. Enough said.”
Eye color & Shape: “Almond shape and my eyes are chocolate brown.”

Clothing style: “I’ve been told I dress in a punk style, but I honestly wear anything that I can easily move in and works with all-weather types. I hate shopping. And the color pink.”
Personality: “I’m known for my quick come-backs and sharp tongue. I may come off as a bit snobbish, but I can often be a smooth talker. Bold is an understatement… I have the ever so much fun habit of pushing limits and even breaking them. To get respect from my peers I have to be willing to go over and beyond what would stop others. I’m creative for the most part – being myself no matter what the job is. My friends are more like family then my actual blood family members; at least some of them. I have a rough style about how I dress and act but inside I’m just a regular girl with amazing friends who just loves music. Oh and if you tell anyone else this I will have to kill you, but I'm a hopeless romantic...”
History: “I’m the black sheep of the family. My two older brothers are my parents pride and joy. Curtis was the head of our high school’s debate team and is studying law at Yale while Tommy was the captain of the football, basketball, and track team during high school. He is a freshman at the University of Texas in Austin on a sports scholarship. Then they had me… mom wanted a girl she could dress up in frilly dresses and be the head cheerleader… But that isn’t who I am. Ever since I was a toddler I was different than my family. I know that deep, deep, deep down they all love me, but they don’t show it. After seeing I was a more rocker chick they did just about everything to keep me hidden from sight.”
Likes: “Music, thrills, classic horror movies, dogs, snakes, spiders, the color black, etc.”
Dislikes: “Pink, shopping, cops, boring jobs, anything that is considered to be girly, bees, wasps, and idiots.”
Fears: “Not living life to the fullest… oh and getting caught too soon.”
Hobbies: “Does robbing banks count?”

Crushes: “When I first met Trevor I thought he was cute, but now he is like a brother,” She shivers and makes a sick face. “That’s just…. Ew.”
Exes: “Yes.”
Relationship status: “Single. Not looking for love or anything like that.”

Other: “I use to take gymnastics and I am a pretty good guitarist.”

---{{. name
Petra Reagan McCall
Petra has an interesting middle name. She is the third child of the McCall family, and her parents were struggling with relationship problems when she was conceived. It was after a fight that they made up, and then her mother was pregnant with an unplanned third child. During the pregnancy, all the couple needed was a rock to keep the family together, and that's how the spunky girl got her first name. In Greek, the name means 'rock'.
The girls middle name was of her brothers doing. When he was seven, he was obsessed with presidents. Johnathan wanted to know everything about them, and his favorite president at the time was Ronald Reagan. He talked about him all the time, and then name grew on the parents. This is how her middle name was formed.
The surname McCall is of Scottish origin. Ages ago, the family immigrated from Scotland to America, and then the family tree was born. It is a simple last name, but it suits the girl just fine.

---{{. age
22
Petra was born on August 17th, 1990. It was a hot day when her mother went into labor, and since Petra was her third child she was only in labor for three hours before the youngin' was welcomed into the family. She almost didn't make it into the hospital, but she was able to be checked into the room at 1:53, just a mere 19 minutes before Petra was born at 2:12 p.m.

---{{. gender
Female
That's what is on her birth certificate, so she is yes indeed a female. She would not mind someone coming to check, though.

---{{. description
"Just take a picture."
Petra isn't the most physically attractive person, but she has an aura around her that draws people to her. She has grey-blue eyes that change color with her mood. When she is angry or sad, they tend to lean more towards the grey scale. When she is happy, excited, or flirty they tend to be more blue. They also change colors depending on what she is wearing.
The girl has brown hair that is naturally frizzy, but she can style it to be either straight or curly, depending on her mood or outfit of the day. Her hair comes down past her shoulders, and stops in the middle of her chest when it is curly. It looks a bit longer when it is straight, though. Her bangs hang down on her forehead and she usually keeps them so they cover up her eyebrows, but sometimes she'll push them back or to the side to expose her forehead.
Petra stands at about five foot six, and she will wear clothes that accentuate her height. She weighs about 140 pounds, and her weight is distributed evenly all over her body. The girl will wear a lot of make up, usually eye liner, eye shadow and some type of red lip stick. It's her own thing, that makes her stand out to the boys around her.
Petra wears all sorts of clothing, but she liked dull and neutral colors the best. In the winter, you can see her in skinny jeans, a pair of boots or her favorite vans, and a tee-shirt with a band name on it. Her favorite thing to wear is her black jacket with a furred hood. In the summer, she accentuates her long legs by wearing very short shorts and a tank top. She likes to wear loose tops in the summer but she will really wear anything that looks cute on her.

---{{. likes, dislikes, fears
"I'm not really a picky person."
Likes; the color purple, nature, drinking, partying, flirting, having a good time, doing crazy stuff, eating, sleeping, not obeying authority.
Dislikes; having to do something someone says, the color yellow, snobs, boring people, shy people, dumb parties, running, broccoli, not having money, school, working, learning, staying inside for too long.
Fears; someone she really loves dying, spiders, death, overdosing on drugs, getting caught by the police.

---{{. personality
"I'm lovely, don't cha think?"
Petra is a very interesting young woman.
This girl has a lot of attitude. She is not afraid to get snappy with you if you get on her nerves. Sarcasm is this girls first language. If you give her a stupid remark, she will not hesitate to give that person a sarcastic or rude remark back. She doesn't deal with stupid people.
Rebellious is another word that comes to mind when people are asked to describe Petra. She usually does what she wants, not caring what others think about her. She really doesn't regard anyone else around her when she makes a decision. Its all for her and that's it. Being rebellious, she doesn't listen to authority and she will break the law if its worth it. This has caused her to drink and do drugs. She is all about living her life up to the fullest.
Another one of Petra's less desirable traits is her inability to make decisions in a reasonable amount of time. She is one of the most indecisive people you will ever come to know. She sits in front of her closet and tries to decide what to wear, and that process usually takes her at least a half an hour. Any big life choice will cause anxiety and stress for this girl, and when she finally makes the choice she will stress herself out worrying about it til it proves to be the right thing.
Petra is also a pretty good liar. Her face never reads much about her emotions but she is especially good at putting on a false face and lying to whoever needs it. She usually lies to get things out of people, but sometimes its to cover up her tracks if she was caught doing something illegal. Her eyes never tell anything about what she is feeling, so it makes her a prime liar.
One last undesirable trait for this girl is her ability to be a pessimistic realist. She always looks at situations from a real level, not ever trying to sugarcoat anything or tell herself things aren't as bad as they really are. When faced with a difficult situation, Petra always expects the worst outcome possible. She always expects the worst, so she is never disappointed and always pleasantly surprised when things actually go her way.
Now for Petra's positive traits. She is very mature for a woman her age. She rarely surrounds herself with petty drama and she handles herself with the maturity of an adult. Many people look up to her for this fact, though her own choices may no reflect her maturity. She is always willing to give motherly advice to anyone who may need it.
Another good quality this girl has is her open-mindedness. She never judges anyone based on what they have done, or who they've done. She isn't the most innocent, pure girl herself, so she can't really judge anyone. Petra also doesn't judge anyone on sexuality or race since she thinks that is wrong.
Petra is a self confidant young woman. She walks around like she owns the place. Some might say she is stuck-up, but she just doesn't let people get her down for stupid stuff. When she does something wrong, and people put her down for it, she just shakes it off like nothing happened. Her ability to bounce back is phenomenal.
One last good trait this girl has is her ability to adapt to change. She is one of the most flexible people you will ever meet. She is willing to go along with whatever happens if she is out with a group, and she usually doesn't care if plans get changed. This girl does not orient herself around schedules and would much rather go with the flow than have set times for everything.

---{{. relationships
"So what if that makes me a cheater?"
Petra has a pretty large family. She is the third child, yet she isn't the youngest. Her parents were a high school couple, but they were on-and-off for the time they were dating. Her father, Kendrick Theo McCall, married her mother Naomi Ophelia Paradis when they were twenty-one. The couple had their first child at twenty two, a boy they named Declan James. Their next child came just a year later, a girl who they named Kassia Grace. Petra wasn't born until four years after Kassia was. Her parents were suffering a rough spot in their relationship at the time and that's how Petra got her name. The couple conceived one more time before they divorced, a girl named Tuesday Jane.
The girl's parents divorced three years after she was born, but they continue to remain friends. Every other weekend the girl goes to stay with her father, but her residence is at her mothers. Her mother and herself are pretty close, though she lies to her regularly.
