A Second Chance at Life... semi-lit romance - Full

[Cuckoo]

You’ve never really been the nicest person… not a bad person, per say, but not a good one either. Some have said you are selfish, arrogant, and even a bit self-righteous. You have your family, your friends, but you also know what they really think of you. And honestly, you don’t care. If they don’t like it, they can leave… right?

It is the middle of winter, late one night. You are walking home from work, or just walking down to the store for something to eat when you come across an elderly homeless man. He is sitting there on the sidewalk, seemingly lifeless as he sits with his back against a brick wall, his few possessions scattered around him. You barely give him a glance as you walk by, and jump when he suddenly leans forward and wraps his cold boney fingers around your ankle. He looks up at you with the brightest blue eyes you have ever seen, making you pause for a moment, caught in their gaze. “Please.” The old man says, his voice hoarse as the winter cold sends a shiver through him. “Please, could you spare your coat?”

Your coat? You snap out of your startled gaze and kick the old man’s hand away. “Get a job.” You snap back, spinning around and going on your way. You stomp down the street, your hands shoved into your pockets as you mutter to yourself. “My coat, what a joke. It’s cold out, I need my coat.” But as you walk you hesitate, a pang of guilt making you pause and glance back. The old man is gone, and suddenly, your world goes black.

You’ve been hit by a car, mugged, whatever it was you are dead. You’re alone, surrounded by darkness. You remember your last few moments of life, and a scream begins to slowly build in your throat. You are about to let the scream loose when you hear a voice. The voice is smooth and quiet, but yet somehow familiar. For some reason, it reminds you of the old man. The voice confirms your fears, you are dead. It tells you what you already know, that you have lived a selfish life. But then it goes on to give you a choice. You can accept your fate, and live on forever, alone in this darkness, paying for the life you had lived, or you can go back. You can go back for one year, in which time you must find love and be loved in return, you must find forgiveness, and you must help someone in need, no matter the cost to yourself. Someone who is down on their luck, has learned about life the hard way, and knows what it is like to be the old man. You will find this all in one person, an angel, trapped on earth living the life of a human.

You make your choice quickly. You don’t even have to think about it. You choose to go back, and suddenly the darkness is gone, and you wake up in your bed. The sun is streaming through your window, and your clock tells you it is the next morning. Your year starts now.

The only way to tell an angel is to look at their eyes. They are a bright blue, almost too blue to be human. They do not know they are angels; they have no memory of their other life. All they know is that they have had a hard life. They are good people, kind and selfless, that have been kicked around and looked over by those who are fighting to get to the top. They are the jewels among the stones.


Not everyone is chosen to get a second chance at life, so the humans who have been chosen have literally received a saving grace. The question is, can they get their life together and meet their end of the bargain within a year’s time and continue living? Or will they fail and die again, only to be stuck in a world of darkness, alone?



There will be 6 characters in this role play, so three couple’s total. There will be three humans who were given a second chance, and three angels ( I may add more spots if enough interest is shown). The role play is set in modern day New York.

1. This is a semi literate role play, so good spelling, grammar and sentence structure are a must. I am also expecting and good paragraph per post at least. Feel free to do more.

2. As you probably already noticed, there are some homosexual characters in this role play. All I am saying is be nice. That is all I should have to say.

3. All of CS rules apply here, so if you don’t know them refresh your memory.

4. The age group I am looking for is late teens early twenties.

5. Umm... Yeah. We are all mostly from the semi lit club, so I am not worried about putting down every little thing in the rules. Just be respectful, play nice, and have fun. If I feel the need to add more rules I will do so.

[Cuckoo]

ɴαмe:

Christian Cipriani. He hates the nickname Chris, so for now, it’s just Christian.

αɢe:

20. Doesn’t really look it, does he? Don’t tell him that. He hates being told he looks younger than he actually is. He knows it’s true, but the poor kid is in denial.

ɢeɴder:

Male

perѕoɴαlιтy:

A good word to start off with would be devoted. Once you have earned his trust and friendship, you have it for life. He does not usually keep a large group of friends, so those he does have he is very loyal and attentive to. He is the type of friend who will get up at three in the morning to help you with your flat tire, or listen about how your boyfriend left you. He is the kind of person that would give you the shirt off of his back in a blizzard if you asked for it. He rarely does things for himself, always concerned about others and what they want to do. However, sometimes he can be too quick to trust, or he doesn’t ask the right questions, leading to him usually getting hurt. He likes to think everyone is a good person and everyone deserves a second chance. He is very forgiving, both a good and bad trait. Christian is always willing to forgive, and will rarely hold a grudge. He will often think of excuses for other people, even sometimes turning the blame on himself somehow in order to forgive someone.

A gift given to Christian is never wasted. He is grateful for every little thing he gets, and doesn’t skimp on the word thank you. The most hideous eye sore of a tie is a prized possession if given by a friend. Open-minded and tolerant , you could walk up to him with blue hair and a purple face and ask him if he wanted to listen to polka music with you, and he wouldn’t bat an eyelash. It takes a lot for him to judge someone. In his mind, as long as it makes someone happy and it’s not hurting anyone else, go for it. He can always find the bright side of things, and even if he can’t he still tries. He loves problem solving, and he is very good at thinking outside the box. He can find solutions to problems that most people wouldn’t think of, and he enjoys making things with his hands. He is hard-working, once he has set his mind to something it will get done, even if he has to run himself ragged. He cannot leave a job uncompleted. He is always full of energy especially when he is around those he loves and trusts. Sometimes he can be downright manic, with a smile plastered across his face a mile long. He loves to laugh and make others laugh, and he loves to see people smile.

He is a terrible liar, so he doesn’t even try anymore. It is written all over his face when he tries to lie, and he feels terrible about it, so he usually ends up telling the truth right after anyway. However he will tell the occasional white lie to make someone feel better, like the question, ‘does this dress make me look fat?’ He cannot take a compliment. Someone tells him he looks nice, they are just saying that. In his mind he is average, nothing special, and definitely nothing to take notice of. He doesn’t need to take credit for the things he has done, or have his name recognized. He has an easy time putting himself in someone else’s shoes, and he wears his heart on his sleeve. He is easily upset by others pain, and will go to great lengths to avoid it. He is a very good listener, whether it is instructions to do something or just listening to a friend. His feelings can be hurt extremely easily, and he does not take criticism well. Yelling or loud noises put him on edge, as does any sign of anger, such as throwing something or facial expressions. He really can’t stand it when he knows someone is mad at him. He will beg and plead to get a chance to fix it, and he won’t be able to sleep until things are right. What many people find surprising is that he can be quite the green eyed monster. He can become very jealous if he feels a loved one (usually a boyfriend more than anything) is favoring someone else, though he will rarely act on it. It is more likely that he will just pout and be grumpy for a little while.

He has a hard time making decisions, and tries to avoid them by passing them on to someone else. Questions like, where do you want to eat, are always answered with, it doesn’t matter to me, and it’s up to you. When forced to make a decision he feels pressured and stressed, and is always worried he will pick the wrong thing. When he is stressed he can become very scattered and absent minded, and will make little mistakes that will make you wonder if he hit his head or something, like forgetting to turn the oven off, or forgetting to look before crossing an intersection. You can see how this could be problematic. He gets stressed easily, and will get extremely tense, leading to back and neck pain, and he can become very jumpy and nervous.

He has very low self-esteem. Lack of self-confidence, insecure, and passive, he will not stand up for himself. He is very non-confrontational, and will back down at the sign of a fight. Communication skills are a problem for him. He has a hard time expressing emotions, and has a hard time finding the right words in order to comfort a friend. He is more a listener than a motivational speaker. He is definitely not the leader type. He cannot tell people what to do and he really can’t enforce it when he does, leading to people just ignoring him. He cannot speak in public or in front of a crowd. He will freeze up and eventually faint under the pressure. He is rather clumsy, so he is not the greatest dancer. He will trip over his own feet if there is nothing else available.

deѕcrιpтιoɴ:

Though Christian is very clearly male, he does have some traits about him that one could call a bit more on the feminine side. His large eyes, for one, and rounded heart shaped face give a bit of an innocent air, and his lips are full, more rounded than the average males. While subtle these traits all blend together to give him a younger, more feminine and innocent appearance. His skin tone is fare, and burns easily when exposed to intense summer sun. He has a light scattering of freckles across his nose and shoulders, and he particularly hates each and every one of them. His hair is a very light blonde and perpetually messy, always hanging in his eyes and doing whatever it wants. He is of average height, if not a bit on the shorter side, standing at 5 feet 6 inches. His weight is also average, at 140 pounds. He has little muscle definition, since he doesn’t really care or want it. He has long fingers, perfect for playing piano or guitar.
His eyes, as stated before, are large and wide, and are such a startling blue that most automatically think he is wearing contacts. He has no poker face, as his eyes are always giving away his emotions and thoughts. He wears his heart on his sleeve, and because of this he is a terrible liar. His nose is straight and narrow, and will wrinkle like a rabbit when he is annoyed.

нιѕтory:

He had a pretty uneventful childhood. He had a mother, a father, and older sister (by 3 years) and a younger brother (by 1 ½ years). His mother tried her best to give equal attention to all of her children, but she leaned more towards her only daughter, and his father had always favored his younger brother, so Christian was the classic middle child. And with his naturally timid personality he didn’t demand much attention so he was easily overlooked, even if it wasn’t on purpose. He didn’t mind, he got along fine with his siblings and rarely got in trouble, since he was always just the tag along. He did ok in school, though math almost did him in sometimes. He was always close to the music teacher, and took extra music courses whenever possible. It was around the time of his freshman year of high school that he figured out that he was gay, and he quickly came to terms with it himself, but kept it from everyone else all the way through high school. And though his father wasn’t happy about it he went on to go to art school, earning himself an associates in the arts in two years. During this time it was inevitable that his parents found out about his secret, tired of hiding he started dating. His mother, though caught off guard, wasn’t all that surprised, and neither was his father, however shaken. Once he was out of college at 19 and with no interest in further schooling, he moved away. He hated the small town he was in, and went for New York. He still talks to his parents a bit, though connections have gotten smaller and smaller.

αɴɢel or нυмαɴ?

Angel

orιeɴтαтιoɴ:

Homosexual

eхтrα:

He loves to sing, and he just loves anything involving music in general. He is a very talented singer, and good with a guitar and piano, but if you ask him he sounds like a cat in a well. His iPod in attached to him, and he has a collection of CD's and records that warrant a room to their self. He also has a cat named Jinx.
