Into the Knight....

December 31st 2008
43 year old Ellen Knight kissed her children goodbye and climbed into a taxi ready for a night out with some girlfriends. Her younger children were staying with neighbour, and her three teenagers had requested a small get together. She hadn't been totally sure about this but figured her kids were pretty responsible. As for the older two, one was off travelling and the other probably propping up a bar somewhere.

The Knight's small gathering turned out to be the party of the year. Only trouble was, what was mum going to say when she got back? As the three kids surveyed the mess the next morning they began to panic. If only Ellen was delayed in some way, maybe she'd never know...

They needn't have worried. By late afternoon she hadn't arrived. And as the hours began to pass their was still no sign of her. Days went by with no word, and they all came to the same unsaid conclusion. Their prayers had been answered and their mother had been delayed... perminantly!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, basically this plot involves one family and what happens when their mother suddenly vanishes.... both in the sense of 'whats happened to her?' and the way they cope, the dynamics change and situations that arrise.
Hopefully it'll be fun!!!

There are seven kids in the family. Players choose names, ages personalities BUT around this sort of area.

**Oldest Kid 20-25. Recently Graduated and was away travelling when Ellen dissapeared
**College party animal. Age between 18-20.
** 3 Teens, aged between 13-18.
** 2 Kids, any age under 12.

Can also include other charries.... just ask!

Personality:

(( OOC: Haii, this looks like fun Here's my skelly;))

Name: Ali Knight
Age: 16
Appearence: (can use pics, or just briefly describe)

Personality: Ali is a kindhearted girl who tends to stick to herself. She could be very popular if she wanted, but she's the kind of person to lock herself in her room and blast rock music until the neighbours hammer down the door. Holds a few close friends, and values family above anything. She's very independant and is often given charge of her younger brothers/sisters.

Name: Ramona Knight
Age: 17
Appearence: (can use pics, or just briefly describe)
Personality: Nearly eighteen, Ramona anxiously awaits the day when she can move out of her house and move in with her friends at university. She cares about her younger siblings, tends to ignore her older ones, and doesn't really expect much out of life. Ramona has never really had a close relationship with her mother, or older sibs; she always immersed herself in sports and her social life. She dotes on her younger siblings, though, and would do anything for them.

Name: Shelby Knight

Age:10

Appearence:

Personality: Shelby is a very nosy little girl. She is always in her older siblings business, but she isn't a tattle-tale. Shelby is confident and brave and she believes that she is the best at everything. She can also have an attitude when things don't go her way, and when she can't hang out with the older kids.

Name: Streeter Knight
Age: 17
Appearence: http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg17 ... E/_emo.jpg

Character Claim!!!! (Copy and paste below to claim a character)

Name: Anderson Knight
Age: 20
Appearance: (can use pics, or just briefly describe)

Personality: Anderson is a twenty year old, college sophomore at a pretty prestigious university. Despite the fact that in high school he was a lazy slob, it appears to be that he's gotten his act together and has appeared on the Dean's List of the college for the past three semesters. Andy, as he is sweetly referred to by his family, is an athlete and an avid member of many clubs and projects at his university. Andy's been "home" for winter break but has spent the majority of his time at his "friend" Jeanette's apartment, only blocks away. He's pretty coy and slightly sarcastic, but overall has a charming sense of humor. His warm smile and frequent bouts of chuckling, make him appear to be warm and inviting. Goofy is an understatement, he's a crowd-pleaser and loves to be the center of attention. Much of his time at school is spent partying, and since he's been home, he's been with Jeanette often and has visited a local bar, Julius's, several nights of the week (thanks to a genuine looking fake I.D.) with college buddies and home-town friends. Since he's always the funny man, Andy is nearly never taken seriously.

Name:
Zoey Knight

Age:
21

Appearence: (can use pics, or just briefly describe)

Name: Mikey
Age: 8 and a half, and he will be mad if you just say "8".
Appearence:
Personality: He is always into situations, he always wants to be a part of everything. He likes to carry around a journal and a camera, writing and filming everything he sees or hears. He also drinks a lot of coffee. Yes, that is again, an eight year old drinking coffee. That could be why he twitches a lot...

Anyways, he's a sweet kid and sometimes a mommas boy.

Name:Dave Knight
Age: 16
Personality: Dave is outgoing, funny and fun to be around. His favorite thing to do is hang with his siblings and friends, but he also has a slight addiction to video games. He is smart, and sometimes, kinda nerdy, but enjoys his life a lot...that is, until his mom disappears.

((OOC: when are we gonna start? im just curious))

So, has there been a thread opened for this RP year, or do we just post in here and start?

OOC: Let's just start here, it's easier

"Come on guys, get--" A pause cued the intake of a deep breath, "--UP!!"

Ramona stood at the foot of the stairs, one hand on the banister and the other cupped around her mouth as she willed her sleepy family out of bed. It was a sunny Saturday morning--the second after their mother's disappearance--and yet her sleepy siblings were lounging in bed as the clock was striking eleven.

Urgh.

"Up, NOW, or no breakfast! I'll sic Jagger on you, too!"

Jagger, upon hearing his name, perked up and panted heavily at her side in true-canine fashion. He was a cream-colored collie, far too friendly for his own good, and very energetic when expressing his emotions. He was dying to go upstairs, but as the rooms were forbidden to him, it was all he could do to pace downstairs and wait until the kids were up.

"I mean it," Ramona added, looking down at the dog with distaste. She didn't particularly like animals, as she was allergic to most of them. Tolerating Jagger in the house required her to get high on Claritin quite often.

"YOU GOT TEN MINUTES!" Turning on her heel, Ramona headed back into the kitchen, slamming the door in her wake and narrowly missing Jagger as she did so. The dog pawed at the door handle, whuffing softly, before turning in a complete circle and returning to lay down at the foot of the stairs expectantly.
