Hey there everyone, No Vacancy Motel here with my new idea for a role play. It's going to be a teen drama (I can see you trying to back out now, please don't let the teen thing turn you off.) with plenty of the main aspects of drama. Namely it will be heavily driven by the characters and the way they want to go with it.
Its going to be set in a small town, specifically one that has a lot of close-minded individuals who don't want trouble makers in their town. But of course, no small town is complete with a few token bad apples and those will be the main characters of this role play. I don't have anything fleshed out in a defined form yet but I do have a few character roles set up already and a little bit of information written out.
Mayberry, I know it doesn't sound like the name of a town but believe me...it unfortunately is. Population? Maybe 700, so in the span of a year its easy to get to know everyone here and learn who to hang with and who to avoid. Our little town is outfitted of course with only the best - by the standards of the older generation at least. If you walked up to any random Peggy-Lynn or Deborah-Anne on the street and asked them about the place its likely you would get two answers.
"We've got the best school around these parts, Father Augustine helps to run it alongside the Church, he is such a great man for all he does."
And
"Its best you stay away from the kids that hang out down by the lake, they make all the trouble around here."
Those kids are us, and if it isn't already apparent we are pretty infamous around here. For nothing more than being who we are. I know, utter bullshit right? I would disagree with their views on us, but I'm not going to lie, because we are trouble makers.
There are a few character roles already laid out.
[Boy 1]|Age: 15-16| The New Boy| Younger brother of [Girl 1]| Taken already.
[Boy 1] and his sister are the new kids and town and find out pretty quick that things aren't the same as they were in L.A. where they lived before. But to [Boy 1] it seems that his older sister is having all the luck when it comes to making a good impression on the towns folk. Like a trouble magnet he makes friends [Boy 2], [Boy 3], and [Boy 4] almost immediately despite his parents worries.
[Girl 1]|Age: 17-18| The New Girl| Older sister of [Boy 1]
[Girl 1] was not happy at all when her parents moved her to this little backwoods town without even a shopping mall to its name. She met [Boy 3] in the first few weeks and decided he would be the type of boy to piss her parents off and started dating him. However she is definitely not friends with his friends, and usually hangs around [Girl 2] the most. She and her brother get along just about as well as a cat and a dog.
[Boy 2]|Age:16-17|The Sheriffs Son
Has lived in Mayberry his entire life and has been best friends with [Boy 3] since he was old enough to talk. He is always doing the baddest things because he figures he can get away with more. He has a sort of bitterly respecting relationship with [Girl 1] only because shes dating his best friend. He is friends with [Boy 1], [Boy 3], and [Boy 4]
[Girl 2] Age: 16-17| The Innocent One |
She is Father Augustine's niece and is under his care while living in Mayberry due to certain discrepancies her own parents have been accused of. She has a crush on [Boy 3] but knows that because her friend [Girl 1] is dating him it will probably never work out. She is friends with [Boy 2] but because he is known for trouble they are never seen hanging out together in public.
[Boy 3] Age: 17-18 | The Stoic Leader |
Spends most of his time skipping class to hang out with his friends [Boy 1], [Boy 2], [Boy 4] or his girlfriend [Girl 1]. He is usually the one who leads in the antics, and is the number one name on everyone lips when things go amiss in Mayberry. Its hard to say how many times he's had a visit from [Boy 2's] father.
[Boy 4] Age: 19-20| The Dangerous One |
A drop-out who lives alone with his reclusive father down by the lake. He was friends with [Boy 2] and [Boy 3] before he dropped out which meant he kept his relations with them to this day. Just recently he has made friends with [Boy 1]. He has his eyes on [Girl 2] most of the townspeople fear him and his father.
(Of course there will probably be a lot more roles added in, but I figured why not start with a few and see how much interest it gets before adding in more to the tangled web.)
