The Perfect Neighbourhood [OOC and Signups] ( )

Postby BehindMyMask on Sun Nov 29, 2009 7:28 am

The Perfect Neighbourhood


Image
Location: YOUNGTOWN, ARIZONA
Population: 100
Description: Perfect family town. Neighbours friendly and welcoming. Always enjoying new people arriving in the area. People describe the town as perfect. 0 crime rate, 0 trouble. A lot of people have described it as run like a military base, but it's the perfect environment for a family to bring up their children safe and protected from the harsh realities of the world. The perfect community.


But... could it be a little too perfect? Yes. In fact, it is. Youngtown has a deep dark secret. The adults of Youngtown have a deep, dark secret. In the night, they go out and kidnap children from all over the state to add to their perfect families. The kids taken are between 5-15. They are taken and brainwashed into the community, brainwashed into being perfect. You don't act perfect, you get punished and the punishment isn't good in the slightest. The brainwashing starts in a particular way:

Brainwashing the new kids

1. The new person is not allowed out in public until they can be trusted.
2. The new person serves the others until it can be proved they are worthy of moving up the chain.
3. Punishment involves going into 'the cage' for a day with no contact from others.
4. The second stage involves the new kid having proved that they can follow orders.
5. Allowed out in public, but with their fellow siblings.
6. Final test to show their obediance to their new 'family'.

The kidnapped person's looks are changed, like hair and eye colour, and of course hairstyle so that outsiders don't recognise them. Personal details like name, age and birthday also get changed. This town is just one big conspiracy and the leaders of this 'cult' are Daphnine and Craig Sinders. There are four main households in Youngtown.

The Households

These are the characters available to play in the roleplay.

So, they are the four households and the people living their. Please reserve a spot for who you want to be before filling out a character sheet. Also, please read everything below to.

Character requirements:

  • If you are an older sibling, you ARE brainwashed and between the age of 16 and 21.
  • If you are a younger sibling, you ARE brainwashed to and between the age of 10 and 15.
  • If you chose to be the new kid, you are not brainwashed at first and between the age of 5 and 15.
  • ONE character is needed from EACH household that appear to be brainwashed, but aren't and trying to figure out how to escape and alert the authorities, but also trying to watch out for the new kids.

Rules

  • Read these rules.
  • Reserve your sport first, stating which character you want to be and if you are one of the kids 'appearing' to be brainwashed.
  • Romances are allowed but keep it PG-13
  • If I don't accept you, please no hurt feelings. I have my reasons which I will clearly state.
  • I am the GM, what I says goes.
  • No godmodding or controlling othe people's characters.
  • This is not a master/slave roleplay so don't turn it into one.
  • No arguing.
  • OOC talk is to stay in this thread. Any questions post them here or PM me. Do not put them in the IC thread.
  • Post at least once a day.
  • NO one liners. Be literate and detailed. I'm expecting at least a couple of paragraphs for each post. Give every character something to work off of. This also means proper spelling and punctuation.
  • If you need to disappear, drop out, or whatever, let us know.
  • Have fun!

I like this idea, I like it a lot!

[center]Name: Mr James Gemstone
Age: 45
Appearance: Mr. Gemstone is a tall, almost imposing man. His belly a little bloated from a lack of excercise but his arms, buffed like a wrestler's. He often wears semi-formal clothing but like a contradiction to his look, he hates to spend money. His hair is short and dark brown, a little messy but not too much. On his pale face is an equally brown beard with a few signs of aging in the form of Grey hairs. His eyes are a dark, deep blue that somehow seems cold and without emotion.
Household You Are In?: 4
Which Character: "father", man of the household.
Brief Personality: Appears kind and caring, but can be emotionally distant, and estranged at times.
Biography: Mr. Gemstone has spent his whole life on the neighborhood, at least, as much as he can remember. He grew up, a smart boy, and easily fit into the 'perfect' lifestyle of the surrounding place. He was quick to befriend the families and knew that he would never want to leave. When two children from other houses vanished without a trace he was told they grew sick and died in the night, strangely, there was no funeral. He has almost completely forgotten that day, and frankly, no longer cares. When he first learned of the brainwashing, or 'teaching' as he prefers to call it, he wasn't at all suprised. He didn't bother phoning the authorities, and he simply continued as he was. To this day he has nightmares that resemble 'teaching', but he was sure he had never gone through it was born on the street. Though it haunts him. It truly, truly, haunts him.
Other: Seems to not care about the brainwashing, but secretly hates himself for not doing anything about it. He fights this with alcoholism.

I hope that's okay. Also, I looked at the population, isn't 4,000 a little much for one neighborhood? Doesn't that many usually cover an entire town? Wouldn't 60, or even 100, be a bit more realistic?
And on the first day Man created God in his own image.

Real Name: Amilia Santana
New Name: Marie Cafner
Real Age: 14
New Age: 17
Old Looks: Blonde, Straight and to her hips, Blue eyes
New Looks: Curly dark brown hair, A few inches below her shoulders, Hazel eyes
Household You Are In?: 2
Which Character: Older sister
Brief Personality: Amilia has always been stubborn and tricky, so when changed to 'Marie', she went along with it, simply because she didn't want to go through the hassle of arguing.
Biography: Amilia grew up in a small house hold, having only one sibling; her older brother, Erik, was 2 years older than her, and always protective. Her mother was a petite, quiet woman; her father a stern business man, who was rarely home. Through the years, their mother became withdrawn, rarely coming out of the room to do anything but what was needed to stay alive. The children practically raised themselves.

At the age of 14, she was kidnapped. The people took her to what looked like a nice neighbourhood, and forced her to cut and perminately curl her hair, dyeing her blonde hair a dark brown, and always wear colored contacts that made her blue eyes look hazel to the outside world. Not wanting to go through the trouble of fighting it, she went along with everything they did and told her to do; eventually, she figured out exactly how they wanted her to act, and acted that way, pretending to be as brain washed as the other people in the neighborhood.

Other: She has a small tattoo just above her belly button that says "Dream";; Her uncle was a tattoo artist, and did the job himself. No one but her, her uncle, and the girl that was her best friend before she got kidnapped know about it. The Cafners never found it, because she obeyed them enough to let her alone whenever it came time to bear that much skin.

Sure fennec. Junebaby33, I need a little more detail to the biography before I accept and to everyone, if I could have a few more details when it comes to the new looks. The old looks I just need hair, eyes, and style changes, but on the new looks a good description with stuff light height, weight etc would be good. Thanks.

Real Name: Jessica Sally Larue
Image

New Name:Amanda Lily Cafner
Real Age: 15
New Age: 16
Old Looks: Curly strawberry blond locks that fell just above her shoulders, and striking green eyes.
New Looks: Wavy brown hair that falls down her back,faded blue eyes...
Household You Are In?: 2
Which Character: Older Sister
Brief Personality:"Amanda" was always a conformist. Having an older sister at her previous home, she tried to do everything just like her. She's sweet, kind, and easily trusts those who she thinks can be trusted.
Biography: Jessica was a sweet little girl born into a small family. Her mother had made bad choices in her life, so, neither of the girls (Jessica and her sister Michaela) knew their father. Their mother worked a lot, and Michaela was the only role model that Jessica had ever had. So, she followed her every step of the way. Doing what she did, eating what she ate, wearing what she wore. Her whole life, she's been a carbon copy of her sister, with only a little bit of her true self showing through.
At the ripe age of 15, Jessica was taken in the night. Not knowing what was happening until the next morning when she awoke. The strange man and woman who had taken her away from all she had known fed her lies. Made her trust them. From that day on, She's believed that Mr. Cafner was her real father, who was trying to take her away from the bleak life her mother gave. They made her change her name to "Amanda Lily", cut her hair, change the color, and they made her get treatments for color pigmentation in her eyes. This she didn't understand, but her 'father' told her it was for the best, so that her mother couldn't find her and ruin the new life she was going to have. The perfect life.
After all these changes, she easily fit into the community, never speaking a word of her old life and only looking to the future.
Other: She honestly believes that Mr. Cafner is her real father and that Marie is her half sister. She would do anything for her new "family".
