Introduction
"Congratulations to the Class of 2003!" The crowd cheered loudly and the graduates shouted with excitement. All at once, caps were thrown up, tears were shed, screams could be heard from miles away, and happiness surrounded the grassy area. Couples kissed, friends posed for pictures. The entire scene was the picture of pure, unadulterated joy. The success of finally getting out of high school filled the hearts of many and the sense of freedom lurked in their brains. No longer were they the same nerdy or popular kids in high school. They were now adults - ready to face the adult world and handle all of the responsibilities and privileges. They were going to get out there and make their dreams come true.
That was ten years ago.
At some point, they realized that not all dreams were going to come true. Not everyone was going to be the next big actress or rapper. Not every couple was going to stay together. Some broke apart, some are still holding on to a flame that died a long time ago. Friends have lost contact. Souls have been lost to the fast-paced world no one was prepared for. And so many have changed from the kids they once were. Now, some are coming home to stay - some never left. And with this reunion coming up in a few days, everyone's lives are hectic. Who are you? Who did you used to be? Were you the popular jock or social outcast? Have you changed? Did you hook up with your prom date? Are you still with your high school sweetheart? Or did you finally make a move on that crush of yours? It's been ten years.
Who are you?
Meet The Characters
Josh Taylor-28 -Former Basketball Team Captain/Lawyer - Taken by Makaay
Back in high school, he dated Girl 1. They were best friends first that evolved into more. They were the golden couple and she is his first love. They broke up right after graduation and for the first year after, he was really hung up on her. He even took a few months from school, but eventually went back to be a lawyer like his father. Now, he's home for the reunion with his new girlfriend, Pamela, who he loves deeply. But will old feelings resurface when he sees Girl 1? Or has he truly moved on with Pamela?
Name-Age-Former editor for high school newspaper/Editor for Magazine - Reserved by LittleMissGeorgia
Formerly the other half of the golden couple, she was madly in love with Boy 1 when they were children. The only child of a single parent home, she worked hard as a young woman to not live the life her mother had to endure. She got the best grades and graduated at the top of her class in college. She's been married for three years now and she hasn't told her husband she's pregnant yet. Is it really nerves as she says? Or is it because she's still in love with her ex?
Name-Age-Former Basketball Team Co-Captain/Married Girl 4 - OPEN
Has always been Boy 1's best friend and has kept in touch with him through the years. Married right out of college to the rich girl on campus that he'd been dating for the last two years. He is currently unemployed with two children and although he's happy in his marriage, he knows his wife isn't. But, at this point, he refuses to let his marriage go. He has everything a man could want - a sexy wife, big house, great kids, and money to blow. Why would he want to leave this?
Pamela Gilbert-25-Pediatrician/Dating Boy 1 - Taken by me
Pamela only wants to be here for Boy 1. She fell in love with him when he brought his niece to the clinic and ever since, they've been attached to the hip. It was love at first sight, he says. She wants to get to know his friends and see how he was in high school. Like every other girlfriend, she just wants to know more so she can feel close to him. However, despite the fact that he's been honest about mostly everything in regards to Girl 1, some part of her fears that there's something there. She has faith in him, but will he be just another male disappointment in her life?
Name-Age-Former It Girl/Mother of three and working as Phone Sex Operator - OPEN
She was the girl every girl wanted to be and every guy wanted. She always joked that her looks would be the end of her. It was. She was pregnant within the first three months of college and returned home without telling anyone. The child's father pays child support. Her next two children are twins by a man that she can't even remember and even though she was never thought of as a whore, that's how she feels. And she'll be damned if anyone in her class sees how fucked up her life has become - even her best friends.
Name-Age-Tech Geek/Computer Programmer-OPEN
Teased mercilessly by Boy 2 for having feelings for Girl 3, he only remained one of her best friends. Even through the last ten years, they have kept contact. But she always seems to keep the conversations away from her private life. She reminds him of his flat in New York and the new car he sent her a picture of. All he's concerned about is the sudden distance she's put between them. But that has nothing to do with his old crush on her. Right?
Name-Age-Indie Rocker/Talent Agent-Reserved by Phoeni
He was always considered the next big thing. He had a love for music that no one could destroy and he always said that all he wanted was for there to be great music in the world. However, when he went to college, he discovered a love for wanting to find the greatest music, not just create it. So, he's become a talent agent and with three up-and-coming artists with a platinum album each, he feels pretty accomplished in almost every aspect of his life - except his love life. But now, his former crush, Girl 6, is back. Maybe now he can make a move?
Name-Age-Corporate Analyst/Married Boy 2 - OPEN
She's only participating in this stupid reunion crap because she doesn't want her husband to make a fool out of himself - or her, for that matter. He's done enough of that with his drunk episodes. She loves her husband and she wants to believe that he's truly loved her too. But she's beginning to question if he's been using her simply for her money and she'll be damned if she stays in a loveless marriage. And her co-worker is starting to look really good to her? But is she ready to give up years in her marriage?
Name-Age-Beauty with Brains/Model - Reserved by akjadestar
Another best friend of Girl 3, she always thought that they told each other everything. They'd been close since they were five. But lately, it feels like Girl 3 has pushed her away to the extremes. But, who is she to judge? She's a model, yes. But for Playboy! If her classmates could see her now, ha! They'd all be laughing at her in the face! But she can't feel too ashamed. She has student loans to pay and the modeling helps - even if it means she has to degrade herself. At least she's not playing the pity game!
Aria Larow-27-Loner Girl/Journalist-Taken by bandgeek
No one really remembers her except for Boy 4 and she's genuinely surprised. Looking back on that crush she had on him, she chalked it up to childish fantasies that would never come true. After all, she was the girl with the different neon highlights in her hair every week and a journal filled with random poems. Now, she's let go of her childhood ways and has become a more confident, beautiful journalist. But she's still quiet and the shyness from high school has returned with thoughts of seeing the first boy she ever truly liked. What will happen now that they're both back?
Name-Age-Politician-OPEN
Married to Girl 1, he wishes she'd stop being so secretive. He asked why she broke up with Boy 1, she didn't answer. He asks her if she's still in love with him, she brushes him off. He asks her about the father who emailed her a few months ago, she blows up at him. And he knows she's keeping something else. He hopes that this reunion will make her open up more, but he can't help but feel threatened by Boy 1. He trusts his wife, truly, and knows that she loves him. But, after all this time, was he really just the rebound?

Re: The Reunion: We Are Still Young
I'm planning to submit my character tomorrow. I have the day off so she'll definitely get done. And depending on who you need filling, when she's finished I might take another character?
Re: The Reunion: We Are Still Young
Not good.
All: I will be taking down reservations for those who have not submitted their characters

Re: The Reunion: We Are Still Young
Josh is fine, @Makaay.
I'm still learning too. This is my first roleplay as a character and as a creator. Just provide a somewhat brief history to him and then you and I can discuss what our characters are doing before the reunion stuff occurs. The first post will be the day before the reunion schedule

Re: The Reunion: We Are Still Young
Sent in my character application. Hope you like. I'm kind of new so still learning. If you have any feedback i'd welcome it.
Re: The Reunion: We Are Still Young
All: They are all being reserved for you.
@bandgeek, I'm about to accept her

Re: The Reunion: We Are Still Young
Could I reserve the indie rocker/talent agent please? The faceclaim will most likely be Tyson Ritter, George Finn or Xavier Samuel. George and Tyson both have the same kind of look about them, although George is younger. Favourite character? I'm not sure if you mean RPG but if you do, none really.
Re: The Reunion: We Are Still Young
Please may I reserve Girl 1: Former editor for high school newspaper/Editor for Magazine? I'm not totally sure about FC yet, but I'll let you know as soon as I decide :)
And, I might be being really stupid here, but when you say favourite character, do you mean like favourite character in this roleplay, character we've ever played or character from TV/book/movie etc? :p

Re: The Reunion: We Are Still Young
Could I reserve the model? Girl 5, I believe? For a face claim I can't decide between Taylor Cole or Amber Heard (with her hair dyed dark) but it will for sure be one of the two ... What do you guys think? and this is actually my favorite character so I'm glad she was open!! (:
Re: The Reunion: We Are Still Young
Could I steal the Loner Girl/Journalist? Will probably use Lights P. as my FC[ Though I'm not entirely sure, when I'm positive I'll be sure to tell you though ], and I don't have a favorite character[ love them alls, I suppose I favor my boys though. XD ]
