Christmas In New York {ooc} ( )

Postby BurningBridges on Mon Nov 01, 2010 3:40 pm

Nothing beats a Christmas in New York City.

Horse drawn carriages crowd the sides of the busy roads, pulling along bundled shoppers as they head towards Macy's or FAO Schwartz. Tourists flock the grand tree in Rockefeller Center or head that way to spend some time ice skating. The smell of roasted chestnuts and hot chocolate circulate throughout the streets as vendors work to keep up with the many people. There's Central Park too; normally covered in a blanket of snow this park looks like something out of a movie around the holidays. For many people, this spectacular scene is something that they will only see in movies.

For the Reynolds' family, it is a reality.

Michael* Reynolds {45}: He's a big shot investor, famous for his enormous earnings down on Wall Street. Michael works long hours and is barely home for his family, especially for the three last years because he has spent them without his wife, Elizabeth Reynolds, due to her death from breast cancer.{Played by BurningBridges} He did have five children with her:
-John* {19}: The typical 'perfect' guy. He was the star quarterback for his private school's football team and came in at the top of his class when he graduated. He is currently a freshman at NYU and is studying law. John has an apartment a few blocks away from the family's penthouse but stays there frequently to help out since his mother is gone. {Played by Chinchilla}
-Jane {19}: Michael's twin is also a successful young person. She has always had a passion for fashion and after graduating high school she went on to FIT. Jane is currently a freshman there but because of her family's money, she is already coming out with a line of her own. That isn't to say that she couldn't do it without their money though, because she definitely has the skill to. {Played by Cinderstella}
-Emily* {17}: Emily is more similar to John than she is to Jane because of her interest in sports. She's not as smart but gets by with average grades, as her focus is more on sports than it is work. She isn't into fashion as much as Jane but definitely dresses well. {Played by BurningBridges}
-Taylor {13}: Taylor has an attitude and isn't afraid to show it. She's Kylie's twin, older by just a few minutes but definitely is more of the voice between the two. She's probably the loudest in the family, not afraid to say what she wants, when she wants to. {Played by RaeRaeButterfly}
-Kylie {13}: Kylie is the youngest daughter of the family. She has various learning disabilities and is sensitive about them. Her main strengths are dance and gymnastics but her father isn't afraid to tell her that those won't get her anywhere in life. {Played by British}
-Jack* {6}: Jack is the youngest child in the family. He tends to act a bit girly, preferring to go out and shop with his older sisters than to play football at the park with John. He is very sensitive but has a bright personality that really only gets dampened when he's made fun of or called gay by his older siblings. {Played by Thunder}
Rebecca* Tolan* {21}: Rebecca is Michael's girlfriend and has been for the last three months. She is highly disliked by Michael's children due to her young age and tendency to spend tons of Michael's money. Most people think she is only here for the money. {Played by RaeRaeButterfly}

For many other families in the world though, this lifestyle is nothing more than a dream. For these five orphans, that dream is about to become a reality: Tyler{Played by RaeRaeButterfly}, Sean*{Played by Tyle Kalrian}, Nick*{Played by Wind Of Fate}, Julie*{Played by DreamingForever}, Erin*{Played by Chinchilla}. They have been adopted by Michael Reynolds in hopes that they might fill the missing place of his wife and bring cheer to the family, but with that they will be thrown into a new lifestyle where money is not a problem and doors to opportunities are opened.

Name: Ashley Reynolds
Role: Emily
Age: 17
Likes: Basketball, Softball, Track, Computer, Dogs, Horses, Ice cream, Dancing, Singing, Cooking
Dislikes: Rebecca, Sushi, Losing, Homework, Smoke, Cigarettes, Being Sick, Ships, Guns, Bugs and Insects
Fears: That her father will marry Rebecca and that she won't make it as a famous professional sports player
Dreams: To be a professional sports player
Personality: Ashley is an all around fun loving girl who likes and knows how to party and have a good time. She is extremely competitive when it comes to her sports and 100% commented and devoted. She is one who you can count on to be there in your time of need and whether you need someone to talk to or just someone to listen to your problems she can and will always be there for you especially if you are apart of her family. Like many and all girls Ashley has a bitchy and ruthless side and because of her short temper it isn't hard to get that out of her and when she does get in that state she can be a total bitch, she will be rude, manipulative, selfish, and absolute unforgiving.

Name Taylor Bethany Reynolds
Role Taylor
Age Thirteen

Likes Her twin, having a twin, Dancing, When people stick up for her, her little brother, presents, cupcakes, milkshakes, Taylor Swift, singing, getting what she wants, the fact that her big sister Jane is a fashion designer (or going to be), Christmas, candy canes, clothes, kids that aren't meant to her and when her mother used to do her hair for us.
Dislikes Being ignored, Rebecca (she just generally doesn't like the idea of her mother being replaced), bees, being called a snob, having to wait for ages, school, when she doesn't get to see her father (which is a lot of the time) and when her siblings tell her off.
Fears Rebecca replacing her mother, never getting out of high school, heights and creepy crawly bugs.
Dreams To be a dancer one day, and to make her father proud, so he'll spend more time with her.

Personality What you get is what you get when it comes to Taylor. She's rather childish and never seems to be fully satisfied. Sure, at times she's extremely happy and sort of thankful, but there's always something else that could be improved, according to her. She's whiny, and that comes with a full attitude which never seems to go away. Taylor's temper, pops up quite a bit, but her siblings know how to calm her down. Her father used to know how to calm her down, but now, he just really can't be bothered to put up with her whinny attitude. Taylor tends to tell people that she's not interested in doing something, then get annoyed when the start doing it without her. Taylor doesn't understand sarcasm. Sarcasm confuses her and she doesn't like it when people use it. Taylor has a large collection of soft toys in her room, and if anyone touches any one of them, she'll get hysterical and demand that they put her toy back and get out of her room now. When Taylor's in a good mood, she'll actually snuggle up to you on a couch and give you a hug. Yes, miss whinny, 'I-don't-want-to', actually likes hugs. If Taylor's sulking, just give her a hug and don't let go, until she stops being whinny, which actually works. Or tickle her, she is super ticklish and practically everywhere on her body, is ticklish.



Image

Name Tyler James Benson
Role Tyler
Age Seventeen

Likes Little kids, sleeping, eating, pretty girls, having somewhere to live and be looked after, playing guitar, lemon and lime, pretty names and painting.
Dislikes Rich snobs, being laughed at, his alarm clock, girls that act dumb on purpose, avocado, salty food, fancy technology and fashion obsessed people.
Fears That he'll have to live on the street, that he'll never start a family and rats.
Dreams That he'll get famous with his guitar playing.

Personality Tyler's a sweetheart. He is caring, he doesn't like to see people down and isn't afraid to act like a fool to make you laugh. He is a fantastic friend, you just need to ensure him that you aren't going to laugh or make fun at him. He loves to play soccer, and loves to run around with little kids.It takes a while for Tyler to trust people, only because of what's happened in the past, but when he does, he seriously trust you. He's great at keeping secrets but he get's rather hurt if you don't keep his. Tyler's not afraid to tell you to do something, if it needs to be done, or ignore someone's who's generally being whiny until they stop. He likes to make everyone sure of the rules but likes to break them sometimes.

He's very patient but when people ignore him, and are rude, you better watch out. Tyler can have quite a temper but he hates to yell at girls and would never think of hitting a female. He doesn't get bored easily, and when he does, he'll just go and play guitar. Tyler doesn't have many belongings, but his guitar is one he'd never leave behind. It keeps him sane and hes' quite good at it.
Background From the day he was dumped on the orphanage doorstep, trouble was going to begin. Tyler's parents weren't allowed to have him. They were only young and the mother said she'd come back for him. Well she didn't. Tyler was a cheeky and terribly loud baby. He'd never let anyone get any sleep, and when he finally got to sleep, everyone else would be doing something else so they couldn't sleep. He'd throw his food around and make a mess. He was this naughty and cheeky, until someone adopted him at the age of five. They only had him for about two months, and then they returned him. Apparently, they couldn't handle him. Tyler hated the fact that they didn't love him and started become quiet, and patient, and just generally caring. Only a few more people took him in in the next ten or so years, but when they returned him, they promised to visit and take him out on outings, which they did.

Now that he is seventeen, if he had money, he'd go out and start a better life. But he can't. Infact, he is going to the Reynold's family. Yeah..that's right, the rich family. Their mother died three years ago, and Tyler feels sorry for them. But, the father has a girlfriend and the father thinks that if five orphaned kids come in, that they'll get over their loss. Tyler was picked, so he's being sent off now, with a bag, a guitar and the clothes on his back. He can't wait, but he is also just a little scared.

Name Rebbecca Anne Tolan
Role Rebecca Tolan
Age Twenty-One

Likes Michael, the Reynolds children (even though they hate her), warm showers, pretty things, comfy beds, little children, going for at least one jog every day, keeping fit, yummy food, exotic things, chocolate and her collection of mugs.
Dislikes When she feels like screaming her head off at the kids, being woken up early, when people play tricks on her, being late, being accused of just wanting Michael's money, sexist people and insects.
Fears That Michael will dump her and that she'll never be a mother.
Dreams To be finally accepted by the Reynold's children, to have her own kids and to marry Michael one day.

Personality Rebecca's a nice, friendly and caring person. She's a vegetarian, and a very sweet one at that. She'll still cook meat for people and clean up meat, she just won't eat it. She hasn't eaten meat since she was eleven, and doesn't want to eat it now. Rebecca is extremely well mannered, but doesn't like to enforce all the rules she's learned. Not everyone has to do things her way and she respects it, all she asks for is a little respect back. Bec has a lot of patience and her temper is rare. She's not afraid to show tears but the last thing she want's to do is completely humilate herself and be a sobbing mess. Bec loves to hang out with little kids and see if there anything like she was as a child. Rebecca is very curious but she knows when stop intruding. Bec loves to party and sometimes parties a little to hard, but lately, she hasn't really been partying much. She'd love to, she's just scared of losing Michael if she does.

Bec is rather energetic, and she hates people sitting around doing nothing, when they could be joining her for a jog or a nice swim. But, she can also be a hypocrit and have lazy days where she feels horrible or she just generally can't be bothered. One thing Rebecca can't stand is whiny kids with attitude, like Taylor. Sure, it's the way she is, but it just irrates her. Bec likes to help, and she really want's to help Kylie with her school work and reading and writing, but she's not sure that she's that welcome around Kylie or her twin, Taylor.
Background Born to Anne and Mark Tolan, Bec was the first daughter and the last child they would ever have. Bec had to spend two weeks in hospital, as she was too small when she was born. When she arrived home, it was chaos. Her older brothers were all trying to hold her, some didn't know that it was easy to hurt her and she made them barely get any sleep. As she grew up, she was a shadow to her older brothers. Whenever they went out, she'd crawl or slowly walk after them, until they realized and tried to make her go back. But she didn't want to go, she was too stubborn. She'd throw tantrums and pull sad puppy faces, and soon enough, they'd just carry her along with them, to the park or shops. Bec was always a daddy's girl. Always has been always will be. But when she hit her teens, the one she needed was her mother.

But soon enough, she was glad that she had spent time with her father. He passed away when she was seventeen, due to a problem with his digestive system. It was sad and Bec actually fell depressed. She was like that for three years, until she agreed with her mother that she needed help. And she got help, and a year after that, she bumped into Michael on the street, and bam..love was in the air. She soon moved onto the Reynolds home and found that she was hated. The five kids hated her for many different reasons. But she loved their father and wasn't with him for the money. And she certainly wasn't to replace their mother. Infact, her mother actually found a new husband, but Bec refused to think of him as a father, just a male carer, who is nice and looks after her sometimes. Now that orphans are coming, Bec is rather excited. Maybe a child might actually like her.

FantasyLife, there were a decent amount of errors in your profile so I'm going to have to say no. Thank you for applying though!

Rae, could you pick one or two characters to play? I love all three but for now I only want people playing one or two. If you could save the third sheet, it would be great, in case we end up needing people to take on three characters.

Name: Sean Mumble Grumsby

Role: Sean

Age: 17

Likes:
Cigarettes,
Bitter (Beer),
Books, mostly old stories like H.P. Lovecraft’s works,
Stupid, loose drunk girls,
Crisps,
Any and every type of Metal, The Blues, and Industrial music,
VNV Nation, Mind.In.A.Box and Hollywood Undead,
Old movies.

Dislikes:
Tyler James Benson (With Raes approval of course, just say no and I’ll remove it :P),
The idea of Family,
All the new movies that have more action than a story,
Books that don’t have a true plot,
Relationships in general,
Rap, RnB, hip-hop,
People who pointlessly start fights,
Snobby rich kids.

Fears:
Claustrophobia, but it’s more than just a simple fear of being trapped physically for him, he is forever fearful of being trapped in any way, shape or form, but most of all in a relationship or family. He also has an innate fear of heights and finds it hard to stand on a second floor balcony without his stomach turning and his head beginning to spin.

Dreams: To become a writer.

Personality: Sean isn’t necessarily a bad guy, although you wouldn’t be able to work that out by talking to him, it’s just that he prefers to have a tough guy, easily annoyed and not very emotional masquerade surrounding him as a moat surrounds a wall surrounding a castle. Although it’s a lot more complicated than that, the moat is more of a pile of mud, surrounding a wall of near impenetrable steel which pointlessly protects a ruined broken castle that is falling apart, and to complicate it further this broken castles exists in an upside down floating rock of a world that is forever changing, the wall becoming broken whilst the castle is reinvigorated and the moat becomes a bloodied, impassable sea. The truth is that Sean can be an extremely nice person, caring, helpful, happy, fun and insightful, but after the abandonment issues it’s become a little broken and messed up, most of this kindness isn’t seen, rather it is hidden behind the curtains of the play where it is used to secretly help.

In reality he comes off as an easily annoyed, unhappy and less talkative person that will always try to keep the conversation based on someone else rather than himself and is more than happy to make insights about others but will never let anyone start a conversation with him about himself. Sean has a hell of a lot of problems, a hate of family, the idea of family, relationships, closeness, having any kind of connection tying him to anyone, the list goes on and as his shrink which he is forced to visit once a week keeps telling him it is the cause behind his implausible claustrophobia. Of course he’d never let anyone know this. He’s much happier to keep his problems to himself and work them out on his own whilst alone in a room reading a book, or working on the plot for his own than to work it out with another person. Although it would likely be hard to believe Sean hate’s people who fight and start arguments, he’s used to men fighting around him and causing trouble but it’s different when it’s directed at a woman. An unknown force simply swells up inside him the second he witnesses it and the reaction is near immediate with no thought behind it, however none of this counts when it’s Sean and when the woman in question is in the wrong, or at least in the wrong in his mind. This is yet another problem that his shrink relates to his domestic violence ridden past.

Background: Sean Mumble Grumsby was born to Mary and Jack Grumsby in a small hospital on the outskirts of London before being whisked back to their tiny house just outside the estate. Sean rarely saw his mother during his short-lived childhood as she was forced to work two jobs to keep the required supplies incoming and the rent paid. His father on the other hand was a lazy drug-addled asshole, who spent most of the day pulling the babysitter and most of the evening pulling off her skirt. It’d be no real surprise to hear that the household was rife with domestic violence and whenever his mother was around there were fights to be had. These unfortunate circumstances stayed with Sean until his sixth birthday, upon which a truck hit his father. As Sean understands it his father was on his way home in a drugged up state and walked in front of a speeding truck, never to be seen again. Although Jack was no saint he loved Mary and she went into an immediate depression after hearing the news of Jack’s unfortunate demise. This depression lasted for a year, it got so bad that Mary ended up quitting all her jobs and drinking scotch from the time she awoke to the time she went to bed. If not for Sean it’s extremely likely that Mary would of taken her life then and there, instead she straightened herself out and went to a psychiatrist.

A year later Mary was fit enough to work and had decided that it was time they had a change. Following her dream Mary took Sean and caught a flight to America. When they arrived Mary found a small flat with a tiny rent which could easily be paid, still that didn’t mean that she’d get to work one simple job and stay at home with her son, in fact she ended up getting three jobs once more in the hopes that after a couple of years she could save up enough to get a proper flat in a nice area. Sean was alone from the time he woke up to the time he went to sleep, having to get himself breakfast, prepare lunch, get to school and time and make sure he had a good dinner in the evenings. To most this seems like a horrible existence, but Sean isn’t most people and he loved it, the freedom was brilliant not to mention that it made all his friends at school jealous, well that and his British accent, which he somehow still holds. Mary never got to buy a nice flat; instead in two years time she ended up dieing of cancer. As it turned out Mary had known about the cancer for quite a while but she couldn’t afford the hospital bills and had no health insurance, so rather than upsetting Sean with it she simply kept it a secret. With his only uncle meeting an untimely end a short while after Sean was born and three of his grandparents being dead, the fourth being hospitalised on life support, Sean ended up being sent to an orphanage.

With no need to fit in and no care what people thought of him Sean spent the better part of three years walking the orphanage as a ghost that nobody saw or cared about. After which he finally just gave up on it, he had no reason to be depressed, he was the not the dead one, he still had himself, it was not like he had truly had anyone other than himself before, why should it be different now? There was no real point behind being sad, it was better to simply get over it and move on with his life so that he might actually find some form of happiness one day. After he finally snapped out of his ghost-like state the orphanage workers thought that things were turning up, in hindsight they were simply turning worse and he was putting on a masquerade that hid all his problems and refused to discuss them. Over time he grew to hate family, to hate the idea of being connected to anyone that much and relying on them, soon that grew into any form of connection and the only thing worse than family was a family with no blood ties. When he was fifteen it was decided that he should be sent to a shrink, this wasn’t exactly insightful or helpful, the shrink merely told him what he already knew. Still, however much he hated the idea he played along and the orphanage workers were relieved to have a “professional” telling them what was wrong with him, why he would not allow anyone to adopt him and why if they tried he would make their life a living hell. One last chance at redemption was offered to Sean in the visage of the Reynolds’ Family. Nobody really knows why Sean decided to accept the offer, most think it’s for the money, some think that’s it’s because he actually wants a family, and a rare few say it’s simply to get away from the orphanage. What everybody does know though is that there are certain conditions for both parties, well condition rather than conditions. For Sean it is that he must not cause trouble for them and must actually try to fit in, for the Reynolds’ it’s that they’ll keep making him visit his psychiatrist weekly.

I was only going to play 2 characters but they were both girls and I'm not sue if that would be alright. So If I'm going to get a rid of a character, it would be Tyler. Is that okay? I'm just super connected to Bec & Taylor, and I'm better at playing girls and I can easily take him on again if needed :)

Name: Kylie Rose Reynolds
Role: Taylor/Twin
Age: Thirteen

Likes: Jewelry, clothes, bright colors, clothes, shopping, shiny things, Sharpies, drawing on her hands, the beach, summer, autumn, sunny days, school vacations, UGG boots, skinny jeans, jeggings, jogging, water bottles, nail polish, attention, smiling, makeup, Taylor Swift, pop music, dancing, gymnastics, cotton candy, sugar-free gum, water bottles
Dislikes: Rain, frizzy hair, people who wear pajamas out, public transportation, public restrooms, humidity, when it's too cold or hot, being told 'no', school, tests, reading, homework, knock-offs, sugary gum, anything greasy, bugs, rodents, raccoons, cats, 'emo' people, people who are different than her, being called dumb
Fears: Kylie's biggest fear is disappointing her father. She feels like she is the only one out of her siblings who isn't good at anything and is scared that she won't go anywhere in life.
Dreams: Kylie dreams of becoming a fashion designer like her older sister, but doesn't believe that she can due to her low grades in school.

Personality: Growing up as the youngest child for seven years allowed Kylie to have as much attention as she wanted. Her twin sister and her had always been close and since Jack wasn’t around, her mother spent most of the time taking care of Taylor and Kylie. After Jack came into the picture though, Kylie felt like she had been pushed to the sides and slowly drifted away from her bratty, all-attention-loving self. She began to try to do more things by herself and took up the sports of dance and gymnastics at age eight. She does have a few learning disabilites including dyslexia, dyscalculia and ADD, so school has never been her thing. It's hard to get her to focus on anything for that matter, whether it's a book or just a simple conversation. Her mind is always wandering from thing to thing, so when she is in school you can expect it to be a problem. She has never done well in school, despite the numerous tutors and top-quality teachers that she has, and currently has the reading and math skills of an eight-year-old. That being said, she does get frusturated rather easily and is sensitive about her disabilities. She feels lower than most people her age and although she does have friends, she doesn't have nearly as many as her twin sister and many of her friends are from her dance and gymnastics classes. She is a happy girl most of the time, honestly because she is ignorant to most of the things going around her. Simple things like the television, rubberbands and Sharpie markers can keep her occupied, but when she's given more tasks than one you can expect her to totally drift away. Kylie doesn't have much of her own mind so when it comes to opinions on anything, she'll normally follow whatever other people are saying or doing.

Heheh British, epic name, love it. XD We Brits are ftw. :D

Oh and Rae I didn't know if you were gonna keep Tyler or not, I ain't gonna try and sway ya so that I can have his name on my dislikes list, if you don't wanna play him i'm fine with it no need to feel guilty or anything, all it requires is me changing the name slightly on the dislikes and asking someone else if they're okay with it. And on a secondary note, how dare you hide in ma cookie jar! *gets shotgun and blows it into little bits and pieces of broken glass.*

Tyle, it's totally fine if your character is from Britain if he is an orphan.

Rae, that would be fine to play two females. Since British is trying for Taylor now as well, maybe you should just keep all three until she finishes her profile and I decide on Taylor. If you definitely want Rebecca, you can have her spot now. Just let me know so I can edit it into the first post.

British, it is totally fine if you try for Taylor!

Okay, Cinderstella :).

*Just a side note, I would like a 250 minimum word count per character per post.

Likes: Sewing, fashion & design, spending time with her friends, sketching, She & Him, carbonated beverages, bright colors, and flowers.
Dislikes: Humid & hot weather, which is ironic because she loves the beach, chocolate treats, idiocy, red lipstick, hairy men, girls with high-pitched squeals instead of normal voices, the country (she'd rather live in the city), and pointed-toe shoes.
Fears: Not being successful in her career, being cheated on in a relationship (because it's happened before), and birds.
Dreams: To be a famous fashion designer, more widespread than she is already.

Personality: Jane has always been an extremely persistent individual, going to great lengths to acquire what she wants. She is rather cunning, but attempts to remain an honest person especially when it comes to work, for she dislikes those who lie and cheat their way to the top. She can be blunt, mostly when it comes to her opinion on people's appearances. Having a hard time not "judging a book by its cover", she is often mistaken for a snob. Don't butt heads with her; she is always prepared to come back at whatever you say or do with a witty remark or action. That being said, she is also rather sarcastic, but not in an annoying sense... well, maybe annoying to some people, like her father. Overall, she is a strong, independent woman with her own opinions and a creative energy about her.


Done. I can add more if you like. The site is acting up, though, so it's hard for me to keep editing. /: I added more. (:

Name: Lacey Jo Finnegan
Role: Julie
Age: Seventeen, 17

Likes:
- Her camera
- Cooking any type of food then devouring it.
- Real coffee.
- The movie Inception (her big craze right now!)
- Singing loudly in the shower.
- Taking photos of people not paying attention… It’s interesting to catch people being natural.
- Speaking French.
Dislikes:
- Pigheadedness.
- Valentine’s Day – what a waste of a day. Couples just get to act stupider than usual.
- Starbucks coffees – they just taste so fake to her.
- People with bad attitudes… She really doesn’t want to deal with your crap.
- Sad movies… Life is sad enough, no?
- Alcohol for obvious reasons.
- Men. She flinches around any sudden movement by males still.
Fears:
- Dying slowly (too many horror films).
-Thunderstorms.
- Becoming too attached to people.
Dreams: To be a famous photographer. Here are a few of her shots: Two brothers, A darkening sky, and Endless Sky.
Personality:Lacey has a strong love for beautiful things in life, noticing the little details most wouldn’t. A slight hesitation as a young boy reaches for his girlfriend’s hand, heated looks shared by lovers, or even a mother’s worried frown as her child hangs upside down from the monkey bars. All the little details add up into a masterpiece she has to capture with her camera. Her eyes can read people like books, which comes in handy when being placed with a new family. She doesn’t enjoy being told what to do or being talked down to – but who does? Far too soft hearted, Lacey willingly helps anyone in distress; this leads to problems because of her inability to say ‘no’. Lacey lets herself be pushed around for the good of others most of the time, much to her dismay.

Lacey has never loved nor been in love. Sure, she might’ve loved her mother and father at one point in her life and she adores her pictures, but that’s it. An emptiness has settled inside her chest causing her to feel hollow and unworthy of ever being loved.

She doesn’t like being around males because they make her very nervous – every move from them causes her to flinch back in fear. After she gets used to being around new males, she becomes very comfertable with them.

Background: Lacey Jo Finnegan was born into the parents of Michael and Jamie Finnegan on the first of March. The first few years of her life were rather uneventful, living in an average home with her happy parents. The Finnegan family doted on their ‘little princess’, giving Lacey her first camera when she was three (one of those kiddy ones where they are practically indestructible, of course). Her whole world was swept out from under her when Lacey was seven.

Jamie was overjoyed at finding out she was pregnant a second time with a baby girl to be named Sarah. The pregnancy went fine for the first six months, but she miscarried, causing her to fall into a depression. Slowly sinking in her own dark thoughts, Jamie purposely over-dosed on prescriptions drugs a week from Lacey’s eighth birthday. Her goodbye letter was short and sweet: “I’m sorry for everything. I’ll say hello to Sarah for you.” Michael dived headfirst into alcohol, hoping to make the pain of his wife’s loss disappear.

However, the alcohol caused Michael to become very violent and angry. He began to beat Lacey almost nightly. The eight-year-old child accepted the beatings up until the age of fourteen when her father ended his own life, apologizing to his only child for ruining her life.

Thus, Lacey was shoved into an Orphanage until the Reynolds adopted her. She doesn’t want to be a damn charity case, but it could be worse, right? At least she has a nice place, a warm bed, and her camera. Life is good.

The name seems rather ironic if I’m an insomniac, doesn’t it? :3

Cinderstella- Could you add another sentence or two to the personality, and maybe two or three more likes and dislikes? Thanks!

Emily & Abby- I love both of your Taylors so I was thinking that you guys could play twins. One of them would be dyslexic but a lot nicer, and the other would be an average student with the attitude. You guys can work it out on which person gets which character and then one of you would just need to change the name as well. Just let me know what's happening.

Okay DreamingForever and Chinchilla :).

Sorry for working this out in the thread, Erica. I would've PM'd Rae, but it doesn't seem to be working D:. Rae, I don't mind taking the quieter version of Taylor and changing her name, but it doesn't really matter to me which one I have, so just let me know which one you would prefer.

Finished! I hope that's alright. If it's reassuring, I put more length & detail into IC posts than I do my profiles. I just would rather reveal some things in the RP.

British, I'd prefer to have the one with the attitude :) If that's alright, I'll change my character sheet when I get home.
