I guess you could say, what I’m looking for in such a story is a bit of romance (not over played) a tiny bit of comedy, and a bit of drama and sadness… all rolled into what I’m hoping will be an awesome rp.
“The story line is basically about a girl named Sarah-Jane who has been diagnosed with a terminal type of cancer called (are you ready for this) “non-hotchkins lymphoma” (I’m picking this type of cancer because I know enough about it to get me by (as my mom has it)). As of yet there is no cure in this world and treatment will literally take Sarah’s last breath away, and over time with life draining hours spending her time in a hospital bed, Sarah has just thrown out her last dying wishes next to the garbage pale in her hospital room.”
What I’m aiming for is your typical, “romantic” bucket list… She will die in the end, and I would rather no one else be sick in this UNLESS you can argue with me a good descriptive bio and a case.
There will need to be a hopeless romantic for Sarah, but any of Sarah’s girlfriends and guys interested in them can have romances as long as most times the story is one sided. Ex. Other couples can break off into there own story line and have their own romance, but it needs to lead back to the main story.
I guess here are a few characters I would need, and then some I would want.
Sarah’s Romantic Interest: Thomas "Gage" Elliott (Angel_of_Music)
Sarah’s Brother(s):
Sarah’s Sister(s):
Sarah’s Friends: Samuel "Sam" Miller (Lake)
Sarah’s Best Friend(s): Nicky Taylor (Chairy Larington)
And whoever else I suppose….
Anyway here’s the story
Oh and this is not some one liner, post when I’m bored story idea, I really want this to go somewhere… thanks ^_^

Name: Nicky Taylor (lol that's my teacher's name)
Age: (I dunno how old Sarah is but I'll match her age)
Sex: female
Personality: Nicky has her days. Some days she is bubbly and friendly. Other days she is withdrawn and would prefer to be alone. She has a bad temper and can be violent at times and is witty and sarcastic. She loves nature, even if you may not expect it from her, and she loves animals aswell. She can be very mean sometimes, but most of all she is a caring, sensitive person. And she is secretly very easily hurt.
Bio: Nicky came from a pretty normal family, or so everyone thinks. She has many secrets that few now. All most people now is that her parents never married, her mother remarried, she got a step sister, two new baby sisters and a step dad. Some people know that she doesn't really like him, but not many people know that. The only person who really knows is Sarah-Jane, her best friend

Name: Samuel "Sam" Miller
Race: Human
Age: 21
Occupation: Waiter, Bell-Boy, The Inn's Resident Clerk, Exterminator, Night Time Security, and the Valet.
Appearance: Sam is at a modest 6'0, and weighs about one hundred and fifety five pounds, most of it muscle. Sam has dark black hair which is typically in a messy fashion. He is rather pale, and has a couple of light freckles on his cheeks. Sam has emerald green eyes. His eyes are rather droopy, more than likely because of lack of sleep. He can typically be found wearing loose demin jeans which fit tightly at the waist, but become large around the shoe. He wears a variety of shirts, ranging from polo's to hoodies, etc.
Personality: Sam is a bit on the quiet side with new people he meets, around girls however he is a bit of a flirt (this usually comes back to bit him.) Around his close friends he's a bit of an eccentric, but they can tolerate him. Sam usually will find himself the life of the party, but would rather not be. He'll also usually find himself explaining his troubles and tardiness to his boss. He is a good-natured person though, just usually down on his luck.
Biography: Same was born in London, England, and spent most of his life there. His mother worked at an electronics store and his father was hopeful innventor. Sam was also an only child, which he didn't really mind or care much about. He led a normal life, that is until he recieved a letter from his aunt living in the United States to see if Sam would like to come and rent out an old house while they were away for the summer and he was preparing for college. When Sam arrived, he read a note that told him the house was actually his, seeing as his relatives had moved to Australia, and provided no real reason why. Sam didn't mind though, he had a place to stay. Sam next had to find a job, and worked at a small hotel in a rural farm town, and fell in love with the place. He eventually sold his house, and works in the inn for room and board, collecting tips when he works some of the hotels odd jobs.
Hey, this sounds interesting. If I'm accepted, I'd like Sam to be a friend or a brother to Sarah.

Here's my character bio, sorry my internet was having problems
Name: Sarah-Jane
Age: 20
Sex: Female
Personality: Sarah is a fairly easy going person who tries her best not to throw her burdens or sad feelings on her friends. The occasional pity party will escape her mood, but for the most part she tries her best to hide it. She always had wild dreams and crazy ideas, and was the most exuberant one of the group, but when the cancer hit she fell into a slump of what some might say “unadventurous boredom”.
Bio: Sarah-Jane was adopted at the age of 2 into a very small family of just a man and his wife. The man (Arthur) left his wife (Helen) when Sarah was only 8 years old. Her mother died shortly after her 18th birthday and from then on found a new life in the city with new friends. Nicky seemed to be her only best friend who truly understood her, more then any of her other friends.
Appearance:
Both of you are accepted, Lake I'm going to have you as a friend for now, unless you want to find a way to match our bios together... if so then pm me and we'll edit things up, if not you are a friend... let me know.

Its been a while since I've played a guy...so I think I will!! Hope you don't mind if I play Sarah's romantic interest.
Name: Thomas "Gage" Elliott
Age: 21
Sex: Male
Personality: Gage normally keeps his distance from others, but was stricken by Sarah and is now devoted to her. He waits on her, hand and foot, and would do anything for her. He portrays the "hardcore", stubborn type, but around Sarah, his tough exterior melts and his true feelings emerge.
Appearence: CLICK ME!
Bio: Gage grew up in a broken home, living with his father his whole life. His mother left the two shortly after she gave birth to a girl, who died stillborn at the hospital. She blamed the death on her husband for not producing a healthy child, although she smoked heavily and often did heroine. Gage wasn't too devestated about his mother's leaving, but lived on, helping his father whenever he could. He always has admired Sarah from the first day he met her their freshman year in high school.

Yes I am ^_^
I love the Phantom of the Opera, I've seen it on Broadway in New York as well as seeing both the 2004 and 1986 movies.
I loved every captivating second of the Broadway Musical!!

Wow, lucky angel! I'd kill to see it on Broadway! I absolutely love the play! So brilliant!
Okay, I'm going to say either next post, or the post after your next we move it into the next day, get everyone out of that silly hospital! Don't worry about the note yet, we'll bring that up later in the rp when Sarah's cancer gets more serious... I want to give it some times to know the characters personally and relating to each other.
Also if anyone finds my character's romantic interest being too one sided and paying no attention to the other characters let me know, I love a good romance in an rp, but when it centers the rp, it's just horrid! Let me know okay!

On Broadway? Wow, I've only seen the movie. XD
A time-skip would be fine, and tell me if my post was a little out of wack- I can edit it if need be. If you do not want them to have dinner at the hotel's restaurant, that's fine by me.
