This thread hates me -.- Like I just glanced at it to move stuff for the update and saw all theses posts.
Alright then *prepares deep breath*

@Prince Shattered Charming @Icystorm @Finhawk @andrew21234 @Charlie Vasilyev @OlympusBlood @Sasha Bliss

To prepare for the update everything is being placed in the first post of the thread page.

If you are alive please like this post or say something. (Some of you I know are still kicking, but I just need the likes for validation Confirmation. :D)

Character Notices
The Imagineer's character Zuri, has been removed on account of the users inactivity. For the sake of the story we will be saying that Zuri joined a 3 year juvenile Peace Corps group where she will be staying in a 3rd world village and studying the culture and people whilst helping them better protect their environment and values.

Cat is gone. T.T So...Max went to study abroad at a specialist trade school where he would learn how to weld professionally either that or he got arrested for setting something on fire.
And for Robert...UGH this is gonna be a pain in the ass...Um...You know what I'm just gonna make you guys choose;

Angelina and Robert got a divorce.

or

Robert had a heart attack after eating too much junk food.​

I would have said that he went on a business trip, but I think it would be nice to introduce the topic of step parents. Unless you guys want him to go on an indefinite business trip?

Moving on...What else was I going to say...Uh....

So there are 8 of us now...Do you guys want to make additional Ellington kids or allow new people to come in and if so, how many? Or do you guys just want to keep it with just us?
I was thinking about pinging you just in case the thread was still being a jerk. Guess I should have, and I will next time. ^^'

I like what you decided for the inactive characters. It is much more creative than just dropping them from the RP like they were never there. For Robert I suppose it depends what kind of drama everyone wants to add.
Death is sadness.
Divorce could lead to some of the children having father issues, which reminds me of the show Shameless (and the reason I have not posted yet..been binge watching since I am watching it on a free trial app).

I think one or two new people would be nice.

I am willing to make another kid! :-D

Also I think divorce would be better. That way if anyone goes on vacation we can say their character went to Robert's plus we do t have to go through a grieving process and funeral.

Anyway those are my thoughts. Glad to see that there wasn't a mass plague on Iwakuroleplay....

This is just a suggestion but what if we just did a do over? Scrapped the character who quit and replace Robert?

Just an idea....
 
I think divorce is a good plan, and I like your ideas about Zuri and Max. It's pretty handy that those two characters aren't on the exhibition.

Junk food option. Because I want Randy to have even more daddy issues for having the second one die on him as well.

For reals, I'm fine with either. Whatever seems best to you guys is gonna be cool with me.

I wouldn't mind new kids either if the house can handle them without bursting from the seams. :b

[bg=#475154]Appearance:
Tym stands at 3'6". She is very thin right now, barely weighing in at 30 pounds.

One of the girls at the girls home she was in last dyed her hair blue with white tips for her and Tym loves it. Her hair is naturally a mousey brown and slightly wavy. Her eye lashes are darker and thicker, but her eye brows are pretty thin.

Her skin is pretty light though it has a brown tint to it. She get tanner in the summer. She has many scars on her body from her childhood. Tym has a wine-stain birth-mark that spreads across all of her left shoulder blade, on a little on her left shoulder and stops right under her collar bone. (It's hidden by her shirt in the picture)

Her eyes are a deep brown.

Tym's nails are ragged because she chips them a lot and bites them. They are also normally pretty dirty looking.

Style:

Tym wears pretty much only boys clothes. She likes tank tops/muscle tanks and cargo shorts(denim, camo, or plain). Her version of dressing up is a plaid button up and a set of jeans with suspenders. [/bg]

Grade:

[bg=#475154]Occupation:
N/A.

Educational Focus:
None really, Tym has no plans of attending college. She wants to enlist when she's old enough and really wants to take shop classes in her new school.

Occupational Ambition:
She wants to be a construction worker or car mechanic. She also wants to join the military. Tym has also considering working in a Cross-Fit Gym or an MMA gym.

Criminal Record: She has a record of fighting in school and has many detentions, suspensions, and expulsions racked up despite her young age. Tym also has many absences racked up which means she behind all the kids in her grade.

Likes:
Bright colors, mud, cars/trucks/trains, exercising, the outdoors, boy clothes, animals(Most animals), any food

Dislikes:
School, girls clothes, being yelled at, beds, being restrained, small spaces

Hobbies:
Fighting, exploring, eating, hanging with the boys

Talents:
Not much at the moment. She wants to try mechanics and carpentry classes in hopes of finding something she's good at. [/bg]

[bg=#475154]Personality:
Tym is rough and tough. She has quite a temper and gets frustrated very easily. She has a hard time in school because she's high energy, has a very short attention span, and when she can't understand something she will get stressed out.

Tym can come off as angry and stubborn in school because of how frustrating it is for her and how hard it is for her to understand what's being taught. When she gets upset she doesn't cry or anything she start to hit and throw things.

Tym is high energy, she is always on the move. She is a total tomboy and loves being dirty and outside. She is wild and enjoys trying new exciting things. She wants to try to hunting sometimes along with building/carpentry, and mechanics.

Tym is odd when it comes to socializing. She doesn't trust people easily and will not open up to them, but she hates being alone so she will hang out around people. She is fine with playing with others, but always seems suspicious and like she's ready to run at a moments notice.

Despite being really rough around the edges Tym isn't a bad kid. She is very curious and extremely loyal once you gain her trust. She has her own moral code she lives by and likes to live by her own rules. She is head strong and can be very opinionated, but unless she's in a bad mood she is pretty polite. She doesn't judge people and is pretty laid back, except at school which stresses her out.

Tym loves animals, and not in the creepy way either. While she wants too learn to hunt she believes hunting is purely for getting food and won't hurt an animal otherwise. [/bg]

[bg=#475154]Biography:
Tym was found in a garbage dumpster by the garbage man. They took her to the hospital and judged her to be about 2 weeks old and that she was probably a pre-me.. Her family and her identity could not be found so she was turned over to CPS.

The nurses who helped take care of her while she was in the hospital worked together to pick out her name.
Tym has been through many foster homes in her 8 years and experienced a lot of abuse which is where her trust issues come from. She never seemed to stay long because she would either be thrown out, removed, or, as she older, she'd run away. This was problematic for her schooling too because she was always changing school or missing school due to the abuse she experienced in her various foster homes.

Tym's last foster home she was severely neglected. One of the most common punishments was too be locked in a small box with wholes in the top. Her foster 'parents' would sometimes kick the box down the stairs when they were especially angry with her and her other foster siblings.
Tym spent 3 months in that home before she and the others were removed. Non of the kids were fed a lot and Tym lost a lot of weight becoming severely malnourished.

She was placed in a girls home, which she hated mostly except for one girl named Danni who introduced her to dying her hair. Tym wasn't in the home long before Danni went back to her family and Tym found out she was being fostered again.

Room-mate: Delilah [/bg]

[bg=#475154]Extra:

She has ADHD, dyslexia/dysgraphia, possible dyscalculia, and struggles in school.

She also possibly has PTSD.

Tym prefers a roll out bed-mat or the floor to a bed. She really doesn't like beds, even just a mattress on the floor.

Tym doesn't have many earthly possessions. Anything she did own seems to get destroyed in her fosters homes either by her foster parents or by foster siblings.

Tym tends to hoard food. If she can get her hands on food she will hide it and store it somewhere other than the kitchen because she is afraid of being starved or having it taken away from her. [/bg] [/bg]



OK here's my new kid. I was think we start with her just getting picked up? I dunno If we're going to do a time skip a couple of month ahead to explain tha divorce or whatever....

Anyway what do ya'll think? Is she OK?

EDIT: Ignore the surfer in her hair...dunno why it's there...it was a good pic for her other than that though. :-P

ANOTHER EDIT: I will add feelings about family after she meets them...

I love her! :D And she would be in 2nd grade not 3rd. Hmm....Since it seems like people are leaning towards divorce (correct me if I'm wrong guys!), then we would be doing a timeskip after Ashley shows the 'surprise' or not, it's up to you guys. I figure that Angelina and Robert had planned to foster Tym together but after the divorce it was only Angelina who was able to since she got the house and the kids. Oooooh, I think I'll have to make Angelina get another job too to better support the family.

Anywhooos I'll be posting in the IC soon then the time skip will happen after you guys respond.

Also @Sasha Bliss you there? If not then Dante will be leaving too but maybe I'll have her go live with Robert.

I think I might be introducing Angelina's niece maybe....Just to cause drama

Thanks! :-) I changed the grade.

yeah I think divorce is better. It's easier to explain absences(Like players going on vacation, getting sick, etc). Plus it adds a different dimension. Death means funerals and sadness and stuff.... :-P

Hmm...I want the older girls to have their own rooms, so I think Tym will be rooming with the niece. I just have to find a good face claim.

[bg=#5EB533]Personality
Ashley is a very passive and pensive girl who likes to wander through life as opposed to rushing. She takes things slow not because she needs it that way but because she loves to take in her surroundings. She can stare at a tree for hours never getting bored because her mind is constant filling with questions. However this type of disposition and mentally often gets her into unpleasant and dangerous situations. She likes to daydream and sometimes she'll zone out in class or stop to marvel at something when she's crossing the street. When reprimanded for putting herself in danger or not paying attention in class, Ashley will become despondent and stubborn and will resent you for yelling or snapping at her. Angelica though rarely in a foul mood, gets upset when people try to baby her or are overprotective of her just because she's deaf.

Biography
Ashley doesn't remember anything before the streets. As far as she knows, she was always homeless, but she supposed that she lived in a house at some point, because she remembers her mom always telling her that one day things were going to be good again. So she supposed she was talking about that. Honestly, maybe it was because she was so young, but Ashley never really cared about where she lived as long as she was with her mom and brothers. She was never hungry and sure sometimes people were mean to them, but her mom and brothers always kept her entertained and it was rare for her to not have a smile on her face even when they had to move from place to place.

However one day it seemed like luck was finally shining on them, because they found a pretty field to stay in and they pitched tents and even had take out once. Her mom who was usually frowning, looked relaxed and would tell Ashley and her brothers fairy tales. But one day, their mother left to get supplies and never came back. Then Ashley's brothers left to find her and they never came back, but Ashley always believed that one day they would.

For a few weeks, Ashley lived on her own in the field eating the left over rations. But when the food ran out, Ashley was forced to venture out of her sanctuary, and that's when everything went wrong. It turns out that that field was actually the land that belonged to an elderly couple and when they found out about Ashley living there, they called the police and Ashley was taken into police custody, but soon turned over to the state and put in an orphanage. However nobody wanted to adopt Ashley because as it turns out, she was deaf and not many people were willing to take on the task of accommodating her.

Nobody except for the Ellingtons, that is. The Ellington welcomed Ashley with open arms and even though Ashley still believed her mother and brothers would come back, she accepted the Ellington as her temporary family. With the Ellington, Ashley better developed her sign language and was even allowed to get a pet. It was with the Ellington that she learned how to garden and was encouraged to explore surroundings.

(What really happened to Ashley's family: Her mother was kicked out of her apartment because a neighbor found out she was shooting up. CPS came to take the kids away, but she ran away with them. The entire time that they were homeless, she was struggling with a drug addiction and regretting not letting her kids be taken by CPS. However she couldn't go back because she would be arrested for child endangerment as well as for the drugs. She knew that the field was the elderly couples property and left them there in hopes of them being adopted. She herself went looking for a fix and died of an overdose a few months later. Ashley's brothers, Nick and Sam went looking for her and were taken into police custody. They were adopted soon after by a couple across the country.)

[bg=#5EB533]Relationships With Family

Angelica
"She's a wonderful mother, and I'll miss her when my mom comes back to get me."
>Ashley sees Angelica like she hung the moon, as she was the one to teach her ASL and help her better communicate to the world. She gets annoyed with Angelica's over protectiveness but appreciates the sentiment.<


Robert
"I don't really know what a dad is supposed to be like, but he's the best."
> Unlike Angelica, Robert is not as overprotective and let's her deal with her own issues as best as she can. He's her candy eating go to guy.

Scarlet
"I wish I could hear her sing."
> Ashley admires Scarlet's confidence, but steers clear when she's being a brat. <

Felix
"He's my museum buddy"
> They don't have much in common save for their love of museums and they've made it their mission to visit a different museum every weekend. <

Dante
"She's awesome and I wish I could be like her."
> Ashley sees Dante like some sort of rock star, she used to try and emulate her but stopped after getting into too much trouble and hating it. She still likes to imagine that she was like Dante though. She knows her iguana creeps her out, so she tries to keep him away from her, but the lizard knows what he likes.<

Max
*Giggles* "He's cute."
> Ashley has a huge crush on Max, so she doesn't really see past his looks and sometimes spies on him. <[/bg]​
[bg=#5EB533]

Jason
"My shopping buddy bear!"
> She loves 'talking' with Jason, mainly because sometimes he inadvertently signs curse words, and that's pretty much how she learns her curse words, cause she looks up the motions afterwards, if she doesn't understand. She likes to explore with him and find lizards outside.<

Jack
"He's like Hermione Granger!"
> She loves seeing his magic tricks and can imagine him as a magician on Broadway. She's secretly trying to learn how to do magic and is eager to show him if she ever perfects a trick.<

October
"She always makes me feel awesome."
> Daisy is the ultimate ego boost for Ashley when she feels down, because no matter what Daisy will still follow her around and copy her, which she loves. She sometimes gardens with Daisy and takes her on her 'adventures', although she won't climb or go too far when she's with the younger girl.<

Randy
"I don't understand why other people avoid him."
>Ashley adores Randy and considers him one of her go to adventure guys. Sometimes when she finds secret places outside, she shares their location with him, because she knows he likes to be alone sometimes.<

Zuri
"She's my science buddy"
>Ashley goes to Zuri for science help if she needs it. Zuri also taught her how to swim.<

Phillip
"I wish he would play with Daisy and I."
>Ashley has tried to be friends with Phillip but he avoids her and that makes her sad, but she has long since chosen to give him his space and do her own thing.<​

Personality
Angelica is a bold woman who only minces her words when it comes to children. When dealing with adults, she will tell them exactly what she thinks of them if the situation calls for it. She absolutely abhors bigots and ignorant people and if you cross her or her family you will be on her shit list forever. When she's with her children, Angelica is patient, understanding and caring and does her best to help them overcome their obstacles, but sometimes she can get a bit carried away and fight for them instead of beside them. She's the type of mom to intercept a bully's parents, without letting her kid try and solve the problem first. She can be a bit impulsive sometimes which ultimately gets her into a lot of trouble, but she does her best to fix things.

When it comes to her children, Angelica can be a big goof and likes to see her kids laugh. However she also believes in unorthodox punishments when her kids do bad things or get into fights with each other, so it's not uncommon for her to make her kids put on a one act play or a mini concert after they've had a big fight.

Biography
Angelica was born to two Ivy League graduates who only wanted the best for her. So naturally they force fed her STEM education ideals and sent her to ritzy boarding schools filled with kids that she could never get along with. It was their intent for Angelica to graduate with a medical degree so that she could complete their successful lineage goals of having a lawyer, a state senator and a surgeon all in the same family at the same time, and Angelica did end up granting their wish for about three years until the day of the INCIDENT. On the day of the INCIDENT, a social worker contacted Angelica's father and told him that a woman named, Bailey Walter's had died in a terrible accident and that he was given custody of their daughter. Naturally that was a huge shock to Angelica's mother because she had always assumed her husband was undeniably loyal to her. So Tabitha Walters came to live Angelica's family and the two sisters hit it off immediately. Unfortunately the same could not be said about Angelica's mother because seeing Tabitha's face every day was just a reminder that her husband was a cheating bastard. But the two never got divorced because they were pretty well known in the neighborhood and they couldn't let another 'fiasco' like divorce, tarnish their reputations. Angelica's mother started drinking heavily and when she got drunk enough she would chase Tabitha through the house, throwing plates and just anything she could get her hands on. She would curse at the girl and call her a 'disgusting little bastard'. And Angelica's father let this happen because he knew that his wife had the capability to destroy him publicly and he wasn't willing to risk that. While this was happening, Angelica wasn't at home very much. Technically she still lived there but with her demanding job, she often stayed at a friends house that was closer to her job, but when she heard about what was happening at home she started putting plans that she hadn't intended to implement until at least two years later, into action. With a surgeon's salary, Angelica was able to get custody of her sister under the guise of wanting to allow her parents a smoother transition into early retirement. Angelica then purchased an two bedroom loft apartment where the two lived together for a few years until Angelica met Robert Ellington at her sister's friends apartment 'christening'. They hit it off immediately and soon they were engaged. It was their plan to move to North Dakota, and with great reluctance, Angela left her sister who was practically shoving her out of the nest due to graduating college and getting some big lawyer gig and 'needing her space'. In North Dakota, Angelica and Robert adopted their first child, Scarlet and Angelica was suddenly inspired to change career paths and so she became a writer of children's and YA books. After their fourth child, the house started getting cramped, so the Ellington's moved to Theodore National Park, where they purchased a sizable log cabin that would be a better environment for the growing number of adopted and foster kids.



Relationships With Family
Robert
"My debonair, darling sexy pants!"
> Angelica has never connected with someone like she did with Robert. She considers him her one true love and cherishes him daily. <


Scarlet
"My little doe eyed bambi-wambi duchess!"
> Scarlet was the first kid, so Angelica spoiled her a little...Okay a lot. She blames herself for her daughter's brattiness, and tries to make her tough it out sometimes, but ultimately fails. Scarlet is Angelica's karaoke go to partner. <


Felix
"My little devil turned musical angel baby!"
> In all honesty, when Felix first came into their lives, Angelica started second guessing herself. The first few years with Felix was rough, because he always found away to insult the family and was making icy waves at the retirement community. But after his change, Angelica was finally able to see the sweet boy who was underneath all the rough edges. <


Ashley
"My future explorer honey bunny!"
> Angelica was the one to teach Ashley ASL and is in charge of teaching the other children if they don't already know it. She is highly protective of Ashley because she knows that some kids will take advantage of her disability and mess with her. However sometimes the two butt heads because Ashley prefers to solve problems on her own and Angelica just wants to protect her 24/7" <


Dante
"My red coat renegade sweetie-kins!"
> Although Angelica is more of a debater and a yeller than a fighter, she sees a lot of her fire in Dante. When Dante first came to them, Angelica used to get worried sick when the girl kept running away and in a fit of mother's hysteria she actually considered putting a GPS tracker in her phone, but didn't when she realized that Dante could hold her own. Even so, Angelica makes it her mission to slather her daughter in hugs and kisses every chance she gets and sometimes tries to get her to wear an entire armory of safety equipment. <


Max
"My modern age blacksmith-boo!"
> Angelica is still trying to find common ground with Max and she's still trying to dissuade him from playing with fire when not under proper supervision, but she thinks she's making headway. <


Jason
"My shopping buddy bear!"
> Angelica knows that something isn't quite 'right' with Jason, but she loves him all the same. She's been trying to find a child psychologist for him, but hasn't actually brought the matter up to her son for fear of him rejecting or lashing out at her and ending their good relationship. Angelica does most of her shopping with Jason. <


Jack
"My abracadabra darling smooshie pup!"
> She loves seeing his magic tricks and supports him in his quest to master the magical arts, but like Jason, she believes that he needs a child psychologist. <


October
"My sweet baking honeysuckle cheese cake!"
> If she could, Angelica would take October everywhere with her. However she knows that if she constantly keeps her by her side, October will never achieve the little independence that she's allotted. Angelica does however bake with October, even though she has no cooking or baking talents and pretty much just helps with lifting things...And okay, she's basically just an assistant. <


Randy
"My skittish Randy-bear!"
>Angelica wishes that she could have a better relationship with Randy but the kid seems to hate her either way. She tries to find common ground with him and even offered to take him shopping for a pet, but he keeps saying he doesn't want anything. The only time things are relatively nice with them is when she makes him a homemade hot chocolate and leaves it in the kitchen for him, but even then his pleasantness is indirect.<


Zuri
"My mermaid baby ball of sunshine!"
>Honestly Angelica fears for Zuri a bit because of how happy and a pleasant she is and often wonders if it would be beneficial to sign the girl up for Krav Maga classes. But aside from that Angelica loves hanging out with Zuri and getting language lessons from her. She also loves to watch her swim.<


Phillip
"My little brainiac bubby-boo!"
>Angelica is painfully aware of Philip's past, so she doesn't force her presence on him, but she can see that he's slowly opening up and that makes her happy. She likes buying him puzzles and wishes she could see him solve them. <
 
Guh the stupid code broke in the first post, so relocating my characters to this post. -.- I'm so pissed I don't even feel like fixing the darn div thing. -.-
Sorry it messed up for you. :-(

Anyway my character Mat will no longer be in the story since Zuri isn't. Um yeah....if that's fine with you.

EDIT: I added something to Tym's form. I forgot to put her birth mark in. :-P
Only small harmless ones, like mixing skittles in a bowl of M&Ms.
I didn't notice this before...this is not a harmless prank! I repeat not harmless! :-P :-P It is cruel....just plain cruel. :-P
