Take It Off!

"There's a place downtown,
Where the freaks all come around.
It's a hole in the wall.
It's a dirty free for all.

When the dark
Of the night comes around.
That's the time,
That the animal comes alive.
Looking for
Something wild.

And now we lookin' like pimps
In my gold Trans-Am.
Got a water bottle full of whiskey
In my handbag.
Got my drunk text on
I'll regret it in the mornin'
But tonight
I don't give a
I don't give a
I don't give a

There's a place I know
If you're looking for a show.
Where they go hardcore
And there's glitter on the floor.

And they turn me on.
When they Take It Off.
When they Take It Off.
Everybody Take It Off.

Lose your mind.
Lose it now.
Lose your clothes
In the crowd.
We're delirious.
Tear it down
'Til the sun comes back around.

N-now we're getting so smashed.
Knocking over trash cans.
Eurbody breakin' bottles
It's a filthy hot mess.
Gonna get faded
I'm not the designated
Driver so
I don't give a
I don't give a
I don't give a.."
-Take It Off by Ke$ha


Now a days, it's hard to find a place where you can have some fun. There are always cops, parents and morals in the way of letting loose and doing what you really want to do. Well, if this fits in with you, you might have just been struck with some luck. You are now invited to join the scene of a secretive world, or more so an underground street. It's located under a Manhattan road, and can only be acessed through the stairs of one bar. The police don't know about it, or maybe they just don't want to get involved, but don't worry because you won't be bothered much by them. Here you can enjoy yourself where rules are non-existant, but is that really a good thing? Sure, this night spot is a fun free for all, where you can get away with smoking any shit, drinking your money away and gambling or stripping for it back, but it's a risky buisness. You'll meet thugs and murderers, crack heads and drunks. The good life of freedom seems nice when you're looking on from the outside, but is it really that great?

Rules;
-This is a realistic roleplay. It takes place in Manhattan, New York and it's basically a strip of bars and clubs that can only be acessed by going through the basement stairs of one particular bar. There is one "motel" which can house up to thirty people, but it is more like a home, because there are only four actual bedrooms.
-Please be literate. 250 words will be the minimum level for each post.
-I honestly don't care how far you go with drama, romance and violence, because obviously R-rated things go on in the real world, but try to stick to the site's rules; I don't want to get in trouble.

Signup;
Name:
Age: Fourteen and older please. If your character is going to be young, they are going to have to have a reason for being here and not just because they "followed their older sister". Be realistic.
Gender:
Orientation:
Occupation: You may be a prostitute, stripper, bar tender, drug dealer, etc., or be an average Joe who escapes to this world after his/her normal job to have fun.
Personality:
Background: Be literate here, but I don't need a novel. Let me know a bit about their family and living situations and why they end up going to the underground area.
Appearance: Realistic roleplay means realistic photograph or description.

EDIT

Name: Vala Anista Vallo
Age: 18
Gender: female
Orientation: bisexual
Occupation: stripper and sometimes bar tender
Personality: Vala was always the quiet girl in school. She never spoke to anyone and tried to keep her distances. When she in in the 'Underground', as she calls it, she is hyper and always happy. She is fearless and promiscuous. She is sweet, she is cunning. Vala is a mixture of things. Her main goal, however, is to be as sexy as she can be.
Background: When Vala was born, she had a twin. His name was Kamui. They were separated because of their mother's dead from giving birth. Their father took Kamui, leaving Vala to live with her aunt Jenni. Their father was scared to take care of a girl, since he didn't know anything about them and he was young himself. More than that, he had always wanted a little boy to play baseball with, to hunt with. To do all those father son things with.
In school, she did well but hated it. She refused friendships, seeing no need for them. She longed for her brother until in the tenth grade. Kamui took her and brought her back to Manhattan, where he lives.

Name: Rachel Harris
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Orientation: Heterosexual, but showing off for a group is alright.
Occupation: Bar tender and heckler
Personality: Straight forward, and only holds back when she feels it is necessary or will benefit what it is she wants. She may be a woman but she won't take shit from anyone and knows many interesting ways to get back at someone who has one-uped her. If you are on her good side, she can be fun and helpful if she thinks you deserve a tip of surviving the underground. She's not a fan of kids, but can't stand to watch them walk right into death without a fighting chance. She really does have a heart under all of her scales, shells and poison.
Background: All in all, Rachel is a bastard child. Her mother made her living by stripping for a club in the Bronx, and Rachel hung home trying to maintain the home and helping out when she could. At a young age she quickly learned how to take shit since almost everyone knew who her mother was and what she did. In response she would rip out a fist full of hair. As she got older and after being kicked out of 4 schools, she just smiled and told them that their fathers pay well. Growing up with a life like that, Rachel learned how to control others and to read them. When Rachel turned 18 she left home, and school. She checks in on her mother from time to time, like a good daughter, bringing food, money and liquor. It didn't take Rachel long to find the Underground, and made herself a life there.
Appearance: Rachel stands at 5'7"; her red hair falls in choppy layers to just under her shoulder blades, but the layers are long enough to pull back into a bun or ponytail; she has vivid green eyes with a faint yellowish brown tinge around her pupils; As any red head, she has fair skin that doesn't handle the sun very well, but she still has a healthy glow about her; she's usually found in tight low cut black t-shirts that show just a quarter inch of her stomach and fitted jeans that range from ripped and tattered to not a stain on them. She will wear nearly any types of shoes, from chucks to stiletto boots that she'll usually match with her teal corset to draw in more tips.

Name:Oliva Mona Blaise(READ BACKROUND---Blaze)
Age: 20
Gender:Female
Orientation:Straight
Occupation:Bartender
Personality:Oliva is a major flirt. She is, however, very good at her job. Perhaps the flirtatiousness adds to this? She's also very sexy and has a great alluring attitude to all. She's a major tease to all. Also, she can be smart and technical if need be. Since she has been living on the street she's an independent, hard-headed bitch(for lack of a better word) She holds a "wall" in front of her because she trusts no one. Yet, if you do break her shell you'll see her sweet,trustworthy, respectful, and broken yet loving character.
Background: Oliva was born to a mother who couldn't take care of her. Her mother was enable to do this because she had Oliva at age 15. Her mom wanted to have a regular life, so she dropped Oliva off at the nearest orphanage. So, she was adopted by a happy couple. They took care of her, loved her, and gave her everything she needed. Oliva never did very good in school and was kicked out of most of them. She was expelled from all the public schools due to drugs and most of the private schools due to violence, threats, bad grades, and disruptive behavior in class. So, once she hit eighteen her "loving" parents kicked her out. She was then living on the street. Here she would bed hop for a place to live. Drink,party all night, smoke a joint and avoid the police. Then, she found the "Underground." Here is where she changed her name to Blaze....Just Blaze. Now, she works 24/7 at the bar for money so she can eventually go to college. Yet, she hasn't change some of her old ways such as partying, drinking, and flirting. However, she has tried quitting her drug usage.

DONE. Hope you like it... It was really really rushed.

Name: William "Will" Olsen
Age: Twenty-three
Gender: Male
Orientation: Heterosexual
Occupation: Awkward and shy history teacher by day, suave and smooth-talking bartender by night.
Personality: Will is timid and shy and would be often seen in the corner of the room, possibly enjoying the time alone. He likes to curl up with a book and a nice cup of coffee or hot chocolate and just stare out the window. He can entertain conversation pretty well when he is caught alone, but when he's in a group he doesn't talk much, preferring to listen instead. He hates being forced to talk when in this state. He is very kind and fond of children. But when he's in the bar, he shows an entirely different personality; one that he keeps hidden inside. He is smooth and suave towards the ladies, and can be harsh and vulgar to people who disrespect him. He can give one hell of a tongue-lashing if he wanted to, but he just doesn't really have the guts to see anyone suffer.
Background: Will was born in Muskogee, Oklahoma on November 9 to Theodore and Samantha Olsen. Growing up, he didn't have the courage to play with the neighborhood boys. Somehow, unexpectedly for a young boy, he didn't like to play or roughhouse. He just wanted someone to take care of and protect. He just wanted to feel needed for once. He felt like that as a young boy until he got his wish. He had a little sister to take care of. Ever since, he's been volunteering to take care of children in their neighborhood, often becoming the babysitter, though he found that when he was becoming a teenager, more and more girls were sitting next to him. This sort of lowered his self-confidence and made him a little withdrawn. His parents then decided to move to New York in hopes of getting the confidence out of him with the exciting prospect of the bustling city. It did work somehow. It had a sort of charm that Will liked very much, and from then on he considered New York as his home.
He lives in Manhattan in his own small apartment, working as a history teacher for a public school not far away from the bar entrance.
Appearance:

Will covers up, don't worry. He can often be seen wearing jeans and a t-shirt and some comfortable sneakers.




Name: Paige Olsen
Age: Twenty-one
Gender: Female
Orientation: Heterosexual
Occupation: Literature student and barista at Jem's Coffee, a local coffee business not far from the bar entrance.
Personality: Paige is quiet like her brother, but she is tough-as-nails, a little stubborn and rebellious, preferring not to listen to anyone except her older brother and her parents. She doesn't quite like being ruled over but she doesn't mind as long as it's her family.
Background: Paige was born in Muskogee like her brother. One of the first things she remembers seeing is a little boy bending over her cooing and crooning little lullabies over her, making her sleep. The next was the big city, and how fascinated she was with the tall and beautiful structures. Then the suburbs. Then she grew up. It was a happy start to a happy and well-balanced childhood. Her brother taught her a lot of the life lessons she knows now, and she remains ever close to him even if he's busy with work. She tries to contact him while he's not busy being a teacher, but he mysteriously doesn't pick up. Little does she know that he has another job underground. And has a whole different personality than what he's showing everyone.

Name: Colin Hershire aka Razor
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Orientation: Straight
Occupation: Officially a Street Performer he is actually a peddler of Sin. For Cash he'll sell you drugs and for more he'll sell you clients of his. What you do with them is up to you. Many a Pimp has filled their homes with Girls and Boys sold to them by Razor. And should you desire it he has 'toys' of bloodshed. And last but not least by any means he is the Head of the Edge Syndicate his own personal army as it where.
Personality: Some would call Razor cold after all he profits from the suffering of those too weak willed to resist the drugs he sells and they would be right. A life of poverty and having to fight every single day for what he wanted has given him a Looking out for Number 1 attitude. He won't hesitate to kill or mess up anyone who thinks they can muscle in on his territory. And many a client has learned to pay up front instead of taking the credit he offers sometimes. After all he does have a tendency to ensnare would be addicts with such offers. And there is always someone who'll take them off his hands and show them true street life.

Cold and intelligent with a vicious streak a mile wide Razor is the embodiment of lawless corruption and what anarchy really is. To Know Razor is to know what evil really is.
Background: Born in the Bronx he ways from a young age aware of what happened when the cops weren't around. Gunshots, and Police Sirens where his nightly Lullaby. The Gang wars gambits he had to run daily and bodies things to avoid and not report. And to make matters worse his Family was dirt poor barely able to pay the rent and put food on the table.

And yet here where these gangbangers and pimps. The Scum of Society, the lowest of the low living like kings. While honest hardworking people like his parents could barely afford the basic necessities of life.Colin as he was still known then could barely control his outrage. But instead of the despair of his parents he adopted a plan that could only be the product of a child's mind. So simple and obvious it was. He would join the scum of Society, would come to rule it in fact.

Days where spent at the public school where his first lessons in trying to rule where taught to him. He was small and weak while the scum as it where large and strong. His first lesson was a beating that barely left him breathing. After two weeks at a hospital he vowed to fix that. His days where then spent in training as it where, thankfully the school had a work out room. Weights, Treadmills these became his only friends. After a few years he put on muscle, grew in height, and develop stamina that saw him Captain of the Basketball team.

And his second lesson in ruling was taught to him. The benefits of the C sewn onto his letter jacket proved a lure for the whores of his school. And thus his second lesson was the pleasures that a life could offer. Now confident in his strength and his position in the social ladder of school came a renewed attempt at climbing it.

And with lighting fast fists and a unshakable will he came to rule the underground of his school. And then the possibilities of ruling where taught to him. His third lesson was thrown his way. Drugs, Weapons, Whores of both sexes. Thus his third lesson was that Money was King. Ruling his little Cliche of Drug Dealing, Weapons Sales, and Sex wasn't enough for him. Sure he had money but the streets where still largely closed to him.

After Graduation he declined a scholarship to Yale choosing instead to conquer the streets. And Conquer them he did. Becoming officially a Street Performer he scoped out Neighborhoods. Earning the nickname Razor because of his knife wielding tricks he adopted it as his new name. Using what little dumb muscle he had Razor lead a coup against a East Bronx KingPin. The battle though bloody was brief as his will proved unshakable once more.

Then Came his cementing of power, dealing with holdouts in East Bronx. Eventually using tactics and the drugs he conquered the Whole Bronx. But the piss poor neighborhoods of the Bronx couldn't sate his hunger. Turning to Manhattan and the Mafia run streets he waged a bloody war against their waning power. The Families while politically powerful had lost much of their influence on the streets. Their Soldiers and Capo's couldn't compete with Razor's will and his loyal muscle.

Now 22 Razor controls the Bronx and half of Manhattan waging war with Mafia, Yakuza, Tirads, and numerous other gangs and two bit crime lords. White,Black,Chinese, Australian it didn't matter to Razor. They where all enemies and he was going to prove himself top dog. Money after all was a powerful weapon and so where the drugs he shipped in, and the weapons he was buying from his own countrymen didn't hurt either.

Although he was born in the Bronx Razor has come to enjoy living in Manhattan as a symbol what he a mere 22 year old has done. And his favorite hang out spot is the ally under the city. These place where even the cops fear to think about.Although not in his turf Razor has proven himself a shrewd diplomat by enlisting the aid of other People like him. He likes newblood after all Razor himself is newblood.

Name: Kira "Koffy" Monroe
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Orientation: Straight
Occupation: Stripper. That's her hustle.
Personality: She just goes to the strip club, does her business, and comes straight home, just to survive. Outside of the strip club, she is portrayed as intelligent and having leadership, especially since she is taking care foster children. According to them, she is like a second mother. She teaches them mainly about murals in life, and getting a better future than what she has now.

Inside of the strip club, she is erotic and seductive, and her performances prove that. She can seduce any man that she pleased.

There will be times where she doesn't give a damn about anyone, but her foster children, and her immediate family (her mother, and her living grandparents). When someone asks her for a fight, there is a 60% chance that they will receive it, but that other 40% of her gets away from the situation, just for her foster children.

She has never had a relationship with her father, as he was supporting her when she was born, but when he and her mom separated when she was 7, he was enrolled into the Navy. She does have a good relationship with her mother, who has been in rehab for more than a decade.

Background: Kira was born and raised in the slums of the Bronx in the Soundview neighborhood, an area populated with low-income citizens, witnessing murders occasionally.

Kira's problems, however, were inside the apartment. With her father separated and drafted into the navy (a seaman at the time), her drug-addict mother began to date a man that she loved, when Kira was 11. 1 year later , he moved in with Kira and her mother. While he lived there, his true colors began to show, displaying alcoholism and physical abuse all over the house, forcing her mother the take even more drug, until she overdosed on pills when Kira was 14. Luckily, her mother survived the incident, and made a promise to her daughter that she will attend rehabilitation, leaving the abusive boyfriend in the house with Kira.

This constant pains that Kira suffers from her mother's boyfriend kept going, until finally he became a victim of homicide, and died instantly at the scene. Many do not know how it happened, and who committed the crime, but Kira didn't care. She just wanted him dead.

Kira was glad at that moment. In his funeral, many family and friends were crying, saddened of his death, and only knowing his "fake" personality outdoors. Kira, however, sat on the pew with an angry feeling inside, yet was calm on the outside. When the time was for everyone to walk up to his casket, she was last to walk up. She looked at his suited corpse, spat on his face, and ran out of the church, leaving everyone astonished, while one woman (his aunt) fainted.

After that, she had to live with her maternal grandmother in Queens, NY, working at a local McDonald's at a young age, so she can keep all of her money, and have her own apartment once she turns 18. That dream did come true for Kira, but not as expected when it came to success, as she didn't attend college, nor still have her job at McDonald's (she quit that job). She moved to Manhattan with enough money to buy an apartment in harlem, and while she didn't have a job, she decided to go to what could accept her: the strip club.

At age 19, she decided that she wanted to influence other kids who have been through that same amount of pain a suffering that she had been through, so she went to foster training. One year later, she became foster kids to two children (4 & 2, who are now 7 & 5).

Name: Nathan Drake;

Age: Twenty-Three, 23

Gender: Male

Orientation: Straighter than a straight guy in straitsville

Occupation: By day: Artist named Nathan. By Night: Pool shark/Hustler/Addict going by his last name, Drake.

Personality: The best drunk driver you will ever meet, and the only guy who can kick your ass in pool whether he's intoxicated or not, Nate is a total joker and smart ass. He's the type of guy you never seem to get a straight answer from. He loves to laugh, and make other laugh, it's just his nature. Seeming drunk when he's sober, and sober when he's drunk, Nathan is quite a character. He has his own quirky kind of charm about him, and can be quite the smooth talker when he tries. Honestly though, he's broken hearted, and is constantly swapping masks to suit the situation. He abhors showing his more personal emotions, seeing it as a weakness, thus he covers up any and all pain with a well trained smile or a well time wise-crack. Before the shit hit the fan though, he was a playful, constantly smiling guy, who loved to cuddle and act like the little kid he is at heart.

Background: Nathan's life was great, and he had no complaints. His art was selling like cupcakes at a weight watchers convention, and he honestly loved his wife. They were expecting a child. A son! Nate was excited as all hell to be a father. But, nine months later, that son, Alexander, was found to be stillborn. Not long after that it seemed, Nate found his marriage..changing, but he couldn't exactly describe it if asked. Elizabeth was simply..different. He thought she needed time, as did he, to deal with their child's death. They could try again he kept telling her, trying to comfort her as best as possible.

Unfortunately for Nathan, that was the least of his problems. Later he found out, that it wasn't the outcome of their child's birth that had changed her, it was the fact that she was having an affair. Needless to say, the guy was devastated, and when she handed him the divorce papers, he was in shock. Why couldn't they work it out? During the entire legal 'battle', Nate was numb and simply signed his name on whichever line he was instructed to do so. By the end of it, they sold the house and split it fifty fifty, since Elizabeth was 'trying' to be civil and fair. Ultimately, Nate's inspiration for his art seemed to have disappeared, and he began living off his savings until one night, whilst coping with his alcohol, he found that either being drunk, or pretending to be drunk and kicking people's asses at pool payed the bills.

emoneko, I find a problem with your character because she is sixteen, as is her twin, and yet her brother lives with his friends and he just takes her to live with them? Obviously I am allowing illegal things to happen between the characters, but sixteen-year-olds just can't totally ditch school and their family, but an apartment in Manhattan and go out every night. That just doesn't seem logical. Bump the age up to eighteen and it would work.

You're accepted, FromTheAshes.

lyssaisanaeroplane, can you add a bit more detail to the personality, and include why her mother couldn't take care of her and why she got kicked out of so many schools. Also, what are the "old ways" that she didn't drop? Sorry, I know I said I didn't want a novel but those are just some details that I would be interested to know about.

Let me know when you are done editing, wednesdaysun.

As long as you can keep up with two characters and you seem literate enough, you may play two characters.

Derek Smith, can you just read over your profile and add in commas where necessary. It's hard for me to read things without the proper grammar. Sorry!

You're accepted, Jaybt9.

Name: Linette Maricia Jossen, prefers to be called Lina [LEE-na]
Age: Twenty-One
Gender: Female
Orientation: Straight
Occupation: Gogo Dancer at Club Ravage during the nights, Tasting-room Attendant at a Winery during the days.
Personality: Lina is probably one of those girls that are seen sitting at the bar, alone, minding her own business, while every man in the room is too intimidated to approach her. The very way she presents herself is intimidating; she won't go and talk to the man if she isn't interested, unlike some of the ladies that do that. She's quiet when she's alone, and one of the most party-hard people when she's with her girlfriends. Lina will try pretty much anything for fun, but she's strong willed and doesn't just go with the flow. Wild and untamed, but there is another side of her, the caring, sweet, maternal side when she is with her daughter. She would give the world for her little girl.

Background: Lina was born to an Italian immigrant family in Brooklyn. She was the middle, unimportant child; having an older sister, an older brother, and a younger sister. She went though school as if in a daze, her grades never averaging past C. When she was a freshman, her mother divorced and immediately remarried, someone new; an American, and so Lina was forced to take his last name. All throughout the last years of high school, Lina was hanging around with the wrong crowd, much to her mom's dismay. She was getting drunk, smoking, eventually began going to clubs, and coming home at 5 in the morning. It was all a teenage haze, and by the time she graduated, her life was upside down. Her step-dad talked her mother into kicking Lina out of the house; they'd pay for college, because that was the only good thing she had going on for her life.

Eventually, Lina moved in with her boyfriend, Liam, while going to school. But the girl only lasted through half of the first semester, quitting. Liam demanded that Lina pay for half the rent, and so the money that was arriving from her parents wasn't used for college but for her dead-beat boyfriend. When Lina became pregnant with his child, he dropped her out of his life like a rag. Neither her parents nor he ever invited her back into their homes to help her out, and she moved in with her best friend Gerda. Gerda helped Lina get a job at a winery she worked as a waitress at, and it was a job that got Lina back on her feet, even if she was pregnant at the time, she worked long and frequent hours. When her child was born, Lina was able to move out to her own apartment, get a second job and acquire a cheap babysitter. Now, Lina has the only person that she ever needs love from, a one-year-old daughter, Jenny.

Appearance: Lina is dark-haired, like the lot of her Italian family, but she bleaches it into a bright blond. She's got large, brown eyes that look almost black, thick lashes that surround them, a slightly larger nose, blame her ethnicity, full lips, and a darling, petite face. She's 5'0, weights a little under what she should weigh, with a lean, petite body; clearly indicating her dancing experience. Her hips are slip, which is a shocker since hips fan out after the first pregnancy, Lina was in luck, she still had a body she did when she was a blossomed teenager. A tattoo adorns her left shoulder-blade of a black and green chameleon.
