Ｔｈｅ Ｃｉｔｙ ｏｆ Ａｎｇｅｌｓ -- Ｎｏ ｐｏｓｔｉｎｇ.

[farewell]

Welcome to The City of Angels, also known as Los Angeles. Los Angeles is filled with experience for not only adults, but teenagers as well. What mischief could a young male or female get into in Los Angeles? Becoming something in Los Angeles is not all that difficult, but becoming the RIGHT thing in Los Angeles is a whole different story. What kind of life could a teenager/adult pursue in one of the biggest enough cities in the United States? Model, actor/actress, singer, writer, etc. What you make yourself out to be is who you're known as in this city. They judge you based on not only your accomplishments, but failures as well. Be careful of your choices, darlings. Any wrong turn could result to be your biggest nightmare. How in the world are you going to handle yourself in this life? Will you wish upon your future to come closer so you could escape California, or will you remain in Los Angeles and see where fate takes you?
Good luck...
You'll need it...

1. You must be aware of these rules before joining.

• These are Tess's expectations, which means they are mine as well.
• The rules I have linked you to are the most important rules you should follow when using this roleplay.
• Anyone seen breaking these rules posted by Tess should be reported. You do not need to alert me, report their post and a moderator of Chicken Smoothie will deal with it.

2. Do not exclude anyone.

• I know how it is to accidentally miss a post; it happens a lot.
• It is noticeable when you are repetitively ignoring someone.
• This is extremely rude and we are not going to tolerate anyone feeling unwanted on this roleplay. Everyone is welcome and should feel welcomed.
• If you are seen excluding someone frequently, you will receive a warning.

3. Be active.

• I cannot begin to tell you how frequently I see someone join a roleplay, and go missing from it within a week. It is very aggravating, especially to the person who took the time out of their day to create the roleplay.
• I spent a good amount of my time creating this roleplay to be appealing and a place to resort to if you are having a bad day and/or bored. Respect this place and stay active or do not join.
• Do not join if you plan to never come back.
• If you are going to be away from the roleplay for a while (taking a break, going on vacation, etc.), you must PM me. I will not check your signature/profile.
• If you notice someone is not active, feel free to send me a message letting me know.
• Members that are not active will be permanently removed from the participant list.

4. No arguing out of character (OOC).

• If someone is trying to start something with you in OOC, do not argue back. Report it to a moderator of this RP, or a staff member on CS.
• Getting involved and fighting back will result in you being given consequences as well.

5. Do not come on just to talk in OOC.

• You may talk in OOC, but that should not be the only thing you're doing here.
• If you only want to talk, individually PM people.
• Posting saying "I'm here, can I have a recap?" or "I have to go, I'll be on later/tomorrow" is acceptable as its own post.

6. Your character must be at least 18-years-old to have a baby.

• Your character cannot already have a baby when you join.
• No teenage pregnancies allowed.
• Do not detail sexual activity that will lead to pregnancy.
• Do not detail sexual activity in general.
• Do not detail birth.
• Do not overly detail breastfeeding (it's a site rule, sorry).
• Do not imply your character got pregnant by force.

7. You must ask if your character could have a baby.

• If you want your character (that is 18+) to have a baby, you must PM me and ask (please include their form).
• If I reject your request, do not start an argument with me. I will give you a legitimate reason.
• You must wait a real, full nine months.
• I will pick the due date.
• Due to the fact that having a girl baby is very much desired among RolePlayers, I will choose the gender of the baby. If you are against that, do not have a child.
• If you already have two characters, do not ask to have a baby.
• Giving the child up for adoption is not allowed.
• Miscarriages are not allowed.
• You cannot adopt a child.

8. Do not argue with the moderator.

• If you are against something I said, offended by something I said, or simply want a further explanation, feel free to PM me about it. I would love to hear what you have to say, but do not be rude about it. Chances are, I did not mean it in a rude way, and I will apologize if I feel it is necessary and if you show me that you're not trying to start an argument.

9. I expect at least eight sentences a post.

• This is a literate RolePlay.
• I won't nag you if this happens once or twice, I'm not that stubborn. However, if it appears it is becoming a habit that you're not posting a good amount of sentences, you will receive a warning.
• If you are suffering from writers block, please take a break from RolePlaying here. Let me know you are taking a break and I will understand.

10. No discrimination of any sorts.

• If you are seen discriminating someone for their sexual orientation, race, religion, body modifications, special needs, etc. you will be banned immediately. I do not tolerate any of that rudeness, everyone should feel equally welcome here.
• This goes for in-character and out-of-character.

11. Do not change anything on your character form without permission.

• The only exceptions are crush, relationship status, sexual orientation, religion, appearances, body modifications, and little things that aren't a huge change on the character's overall view.
• I accepted your form for a reason and it would be pretty stupid to go back and change something to get around the rules.

12. The maximum amount of characters per person is two.

• It is not required that you have two, you could have one if you prefer one.
• Genders do not matter.
• If you already have two characters, do not ask if one of them could have a child.

13. Keep cussing to a minimum.

• Words such as "damn" and "hell" are not bad. I don't care if you use them.
• Please do not use any cuss words (except 'damn' or 'hell').
• Starring out letters will not get you around this rule, we all know what you're trying to say.

14. If your character is 18 or older, they cannot date anyone younger than 18.

• I understand this rule is very controversial, but it must be a rule.

I will determine the punishment of rule-breakers.
If you do not want to suffer the consequences, do not break the rules.

If you have a problem with any of these rules, feel free to let me know through PM.




None.




None.

I have gathered the majority of these questions from past experiences of moderating RolePlays.




Why not Los Angeles? It's one of the most popular cities in The United States of America. Being that I live on the East Coast of the USA, visiting Los Angeles has made its way on my bucket list. I also like how it is "The City of Angels" and I feel like it tied together quite efficiently with the plot.




Unfortunately, due to the family-oriented theme of this website, we have to alter reality a bit and pretend that this RolePlay is 100% suicidal and self-harm free. Sorry about that... I know those things are matters that occur in lives and it's unfair to limit you guys from expressing your characters but it's not really up to me.




You are limited to two warnings. If you break further rules, you are permanently banned. However, if you do something severely unacceptable then you could skip warnings and go straight to a ban.




Of course. You could always speak up, but do not confront them yourself. Please let me know through PM and I will handle it. Thank you.



If you have FAQ suggestions, feel free to PM me(:

Please read:

I want this RolePlay to be as realistic as possible. Whatever date it is today (in Los Angeles) is the date. Whatever the weather happens to be in Los Angeles right now, is the weather. The time will be the West Coast timezone. If you do not know what the weather is, time is, or date is (if you live in a country who is a day ahead depending on the hour), type in "What is the weather in Los Angeles?", or "What time is it in Los Angeles?" into Google.

PLEASE CREATE YOUR OWN FORMS!

Make sure to use all basic, necessary information. All information must be literate and detailed. It is important that you thoroughly express your character's personality and history in order for us to completely get the feel of what your character is like.

I am also a lover of neat, organized, and pretty forms. This isn't necessary but it would be nicer and more appealing to read.

[farewell]

---------------------------------------

---------------------------------------

My first name is Esperance. I could not have asked for a better name. The meaning of Esperance is 'hope', and the word 'hope' means a lot to me. However, if my name were to be just plain 'hope', I probably would despise it. Esperance has a classy, Victorian sound to it.

As for my middle name, it is Marie. The meaning of Marie is 'bitter'. Growing up, I hated my middle name, but now that I think about it, it suits me quite nicely. I do have a slightly bitter side to my personality that seems to appear in the most strangest ways. After a long time of disliking the name Marie, I have grown to be quite fond of it.

Sorrento is my last name. It is of Italian origin, making me an Italian young woman, though I am not fully Italian, unfortunately. Even though I am not certain of the meaning of Sorrento, my last name does inspire me to take a trip to Italy one day.

The only nickname I accept is Esper--but only if we are close. Family and close friends have permission to identify me as 'Esper', but if you're a stranger, and I tell you my name is Esperance, I expect you to call me Esperance.

My name is pronounced Ess-purr-ince Muh-ree Soar-en-toe.

I am a female.

I am nineteen years old. Do not find humor of my young age, I am very intelligent and not fooled easily.

I was born on September 10th, 1994. It was a Saturday morning, precisely 8:16 a.m. I was six pounds, four ounces.

My nationalities are Italian, Puerto Rican, and German. My father is completely Italian, and my mother is half Puerto Rican and half German.

The only language I am fluent in is English. I have the 'American accent' of English. Even though I took years of Spanish class when I was in school, I still cannot speak it for the life of me.

---------------------------------------

---------------------------------------

I was born in Michigan, not exactly sure where. We moved when I was two years old for reasons my parents refused to tell me. All I know is we are from Michigan.

I currently reside in Los Angeles, California.

---------------------------------------

---------------------------------------

I have never been one to put much thought into religion. Therefore, I identify as 'Agnostic'. I do not think it is possible to prove God, and I do not think it is possible to disprove him. In other words, I have no idea and I never will until I die, so I stay neutral.

It would be humanly impossible to describe me in a paragraph because my personality tends to change often. I have a strong tendency of being overly blunt with what I say. Some people describe me as 'socially awkward' because I say the wrong things at the wrong time. Even though I appear rough and aggressive, deep down I do have really strong emotions and sympathize quite often. I will never admit it, but I am a complete softy. I love people, I care about people, and I would go out of my way to make someone happy. To make a long story short, do not be fooled by my arrogant attitude, I really, truly care about you. As for love, that is something that comes very rarely. It takes a lot to win my heart due to trust issues and being used in the past. Every second of every day is lived in pure fear of being manipulated again, making it very hard for me to actually love someone. With that said, if I ever happen to love you, consider yourself special.

Like I said before, I was born somewhere in Michigan. I don't remember Michigan, I was only there until age two. My parents forcefully moved me away from my birth state for reasons they never wanted to tell me. We moved to San Diego, and I lived there until I graduated. School was always very difficult for me because I was a very shy kid. I really disliked being around a large amount of people and they often thought I was mean because my neutral expression. According to them, my neutral expression makes me look angry, and I was often asked "Are you okay?", "Why are you mad?", "Are you upset?". It got annoying after a while because nobody understood that it was just my face. High School was slightly worse yet slightly better. I wasn't as bothered in High School, which was a good thing, but I did not exactly have that many friends. It was kind of upsetting to sit alone at lunch but I got over it. School is over for me now. I'm nineteen, living alone in an apartment in Los Angeles, and I'm very happy for my independence.

I have a very strong passion for writing. I could write for hours and hours and never get bored. My mind never stops going and I only feel content when I'm able to put it down on paper to reflect on later.

---------------------------------------

---------------------------------------

As for my sexual orientation, I identify as heterosexual/straight. I support the LGBT community with my entire heart. I will always fight for their rights.

I am currently not in a relationship.

I am not engaged.

I am not married.

I do not have any children.

---------------------------------------

---------------------------------------

I am five feet, three inches tall.

I weigh 136 pounds.

My natural hair color is light blonde but I dyed the bottom half a dark brown and the top half a pastel pink.

My eyes are blue.

I am Caucasian and Puerto Rican.

I have my ear lobes pierced as well as snake bites.

I do not have any tattoos.

---------------------------------------

---------------------------------------

I have never gotten any body modification surgeries.

I am not physically disabled.

I suffer from an anxiety disorder and a depression disorder.
