It isn't too late to join.
lemondropsngumdrops, I'd like you to make a skeleton for John and then if it looks decent, you can play him :].

I think I'll let Ellerie go outside and panic, trying to find more eggs and maybe she could sneak out to the store..Unless she wants Avery to get in trouble..Huh. But going outside would be a good way for her to get closer to Rowdy..Urg, so many ideas.

Aby is smart and clever; she enjoys a mental challenge as much as anything else. She is fiercely loyal, caring, and loving to her friends. She is outgoing, always wanting to talk to anyone she sees.

Aby was born 3 months premature and not many thought she was going to live longer than a couple weeks since parts of her had not quite finished developing. Miraculously, however, she lived and went home with her mother, father, and her sister D.J. Her mother and father kept a close eye on her, always afraid something might happen since she had been born premature and they were not going to risk anything.
When she was five years old, her baby brother Blair was born. Shortly after his birth, their father left without an explanation. Aby knew had a feeling that her mom knew something but wasn't going to tell a soul. It was then she became fiercely involved with helping her siblings with any problems they may've had.
Five years later, when Aby was ten years old, her brother Blair was kidnapped and held for ransom. The family didn't have much what with there being three kids and only one parent but they were prepared to do whatever they had to. After a couple of months, the police were finally able to bring Blair back to his family and put the kidnapper in prison.
At age thirteen, Aby's family had the worst happen: their mother got laid off from her job and they lost the house. It was then they had to move in with their grandmother; their mom's mom. Aby didn't like this new arrangement since she had to share a room with both of her siblings but she sucked it up and dealt with it.

I don't think there are any stores to go to. I took it as this place was surrounded by miles of fields and stuff. You could always have her go outside to the barn type of thing and pass by where Rowdy was working.

Thank you(:

Name:
John Patterson (he never married Laura)

Age:
42

Personality:
John is the nicer of the two "parents", being the more mild-tempered one. All he wants is for everything to be perfect, like back in the good ol' faming days. He mostly stands back and lets Laura do all the ordering, but occasionally he does throw in his own 2 cents. Mostly he just watches and makes sure everything runs smoothly. He's pretty quiet and will often be the one to sneak up on you when you're doing something wrong. He doesn't get worked up too easily, but when you happen to hit a sore spot with him, manage to make him lose his patience, or even if he's having an exceptionally bad day, he gets violent. To the ones he deems "good" he usually gives extra little benefits to, for example more food or less work or a random trinket he found somewhere. He's unusually strong, especially for his looks, and he could easily win a fight with any of the boys at the house. The whole kidnapping thing was Laura's idea, but he was the one who put it together, even built the house himself.

This is how he justifies what he does:
John is the perfect father. All he ever wanted was to raise the perfect family, and what better way to do that then to raise children on a traditional farm setting? He’s the perfect father. To keep them in line and productive they could all work in the fields, and the girls would learn to be perfectly old fashioned ladies while the boys would learn to be hardworking. He’s the perfect father. He only beats them when they’re not doing it right, whatever ‘it’ happens to be at the time. He’s the perfect father. It’s not like he doesn’t reward the ones that are good. He’s the perfect father. Sure he has favorites, but it’s the bad ones’ fault for that, not his. He’s the perfect father. The rest of the world just has it all wrong…right?

Appearence:

I think I might drop out... Sorry.

Awww! Why, Marias?! ):

*shrug* I'm just not really that interested in it.

{{Aw, sad}}

Hey guys. I was just talking to Miserable on AIM. She saw your character sheets but cannot login to Roleplaygateway until Tuesday. As far as what she said, Stallion Duck, you were accepted and lemondropsngumdrops, I think she said that she wanted John to be the harsher of the parents.

I apologize for my abscense in posting. I will be able I pick up again tomorrow.
