Love or Run (oc/ sign up)

[Andy]

1: I want to make it clear that you can come and talk to me or any of the other gm's about any concerns or questions you have. we all would rather have an issue brought to attention right away then letting it cause drama. the three of us have seen quite a few rp's end because of this. we are understanding and reasonable people we can talk and compromise.
2: we will leave it up to you to decide how you want your relationship to work. we will look at everyone's cs and then make partners out of the characters that we think would make a good couple or simply just to make the rp interesting. It is up to you to follow that pairing or to go off and try to make something happen with a different character. however when it comes to the challenges you will have to work with the assigned partners there is no switching! ​

1. to join the rp either myself or @Poetic Justice need to approve your character if we don't get to it right away I'm sorry but we may be busy working out things with other rps we're in.​

4: If you have your own ideas to make the rp better PLEASE talk to one of us we are all willing to take any ideas to make it better or more enjoyable.
5: for now I am only allowing two characters per person if it comes down to the fact that we need more and no one else is signing up I will allow people to have more then two characters if they want
6: I would like at least a MINIMUM of one paragraph if you have two characters then it becomes a minimum of two paragraphs.
7: this is not! i repeat not! a sexual rp. this is a game show. yes your characters can make out and kiss and all that but if your getting into more adult situations fade to black or time skip or whatever. if one of us or all of us feel you are going too far we will warn you to stop. if you continue to break this rule we will decide together what will happen but don't be surprised if it is to simply kick you out of the rp.
8: normal Iwaku rules apply
9: have fun :) ​

Welcome one and all to reality TV's new game show! "Love or Run!" in this game show 20 everyday high school students have been selected and paired up with a member of the opposite sex where they will compete together to win a cash prize of one million dollars! the contestants will live together in a tropical island resort on an isolated Island in Jamaica where they will have no contact with the outside world except for their fellow contestants. The couples will compete in all kinds of events to prove to the world that they are a couple that deserves to stay together and that deserves to win the cash prize! What will our contestants compete for? love? money? both? or will they just simply run and forget the whole thing!? The only way to find out is to watch "Love or Run!"

A girl sat amongst a large pile of books and papers, covered in scribbles, a few drawings and she was shifting awkwardly. She looked shyly away from the camera, her honey brown hair falling over her eyes, which were rimmed with blue glasses, before she brushed it away. She coughed slightly and looked at the camera, adjusting her hat and her long sleeves of her sweater before clearing her throat. "H-hello. My name is Aria Macantosh. I'm not really used to talking to a camera, so this is a little new to me. I uh, like to read and, do a lot of other things, but mostly, I want people to be happy."

[~DirkJake~]

Question: Am I allowed to have my old character andmake a new one?

 

[Andy]

your more then welcome to do that Aranea

 

[~DirkJake~]

Name:
Lamont Justice

Age:
18

Appearance:
Even known Lamont's sex is considered male, he dresses as a female and wants to be a female but never will have the money for sex reassignment surgery. His eyes are a dull olive green that matches his long hooded coat, complete with a pair of blue cat ears on the hood. His skin is very pale, and he tends to have a feminine look to him. Underneath the coat, he wears a tight fitting black t shirt that shows a bit of his lower chest. Covering his legs is a light grey skirt over a pair of black leggings. His hair is shoulder length and the colour is a pale blonde. The style of his hair is a bit shaggy. He tends to be a shorter guy, only being about 5' 5". His "breasts" are fake, and his eyebrows are slightly darker than his hair. He has more of a feminine build, and a few freckles on his face. Along with his outfit, he is wearing a fingerless black glove.

Gender:
Lamont is a male, but dresses as female. Therefore, (according to this show) this character is male.

Archetype/Clique:
The Cross Dresser

Personality:
Lamont is more on the positive sides of things, but is not overly positive at times. He tends to get sad a lot, and shares many personality traits with Nepeta from Homestuck. He only really gets sad in results of death of a friend. He only makes friends with people who tend to care about him deeply, and can keep a secret pretty well. He avoids giving out personal information, but will spill it all out if people are kind and honest. She is honest and keeps a fair point.

Strengths:
Lamont can keep secrets very well and makes friends quite easily. He can very easily be mistaken as a girl, which is an advantage on his part. He is not allergic to animals and knows a little bit on the trumpet (he knows B, A, and G). He can cook basic dishes.

Weaknesses:
Lamont isn't as strong or tall as most guys, and isn't as smart in the genre of general "male" knowledge such as football and video games. Lamont can't sing or dance for that matter, so don't even ask. He is not good at physical activities.

Fears:
Lamont fears being hated by everyone in the world and dead pets.

Audition Video:
You can see Lamont standing in front of a full body view camera, and it looks just like a normal girl that doesn't have a secrets. He is smiling a bit, and he waved to the camera with a black fingerless glove on. "Hello... uh..." he seemed to forget the name of the show, as he rips out a piece of paper and studies the name. "UH... screw that." He sighs and drops the paper, and returns to the positive attitude. "Well anyway, my name is Lamont and I really want to be on your show! Why you may ask? I think it would be fun and that I would enjoy this and so would viewers at home." His voice is a bit high for a male, so most viewers at this point think that Lamont is a female and that his parents were terrible at picking out names. "So, if you look around, you can tell what I am interested in." He walks towards the camera, and picks it up off what seems like a dresser and moves it around to show his bedroom. The dark blue walls are covered in cat posters, and there is a pink chair off to the left by an array of plush cats. His bed is barely shown, but you can clearly see dressers with pictures of cats and random stuff thrown across the top. His face shows again from a selfie POV. "That's me, and I hope I get picked!"

Extra:
Lamont used to smoke cigarettes, but dropped the habit. However, when he is alone, very rarely he will light one and only use half of the cigarette.

 

[SirDerpingtonIV]

Name: Leo Lance
Age: 17
Appearance:

Gender: Male
Archetype/Clique: Nerd
Personality: Supririsingly outgoing, Leo is quite social. He loves a good laugh, and loves helping people even more. He tries to be there for his friends whenever he's needed, although he feels that no one is there for him. He heavily dislikes jocks and popular people, as well as those who abuse their looks. Although he may seem social, he is awkard around girls he has romantic feelings for.
Strengths: Intelligent, honest, supportive, humor.
Weaknesses: Can be ignorant of the feelings of others, overly sensitive, holds grudges, automatically judges people based on first interactions.
Fears: The Dark, Heights, People
Audition Video: A tall, red-headed male stands alone in a dark room, his amber eyes staring at the camera. He wears heavy furs, and a large sword is in his hands. He has the tip on the ground, hands on the hilt. He looks at the camera and sternly states, "Winter is Coming." The video fades out.
Extra: Sorry for taking fucking forever.

 

[AlidaMaria]

Hey there, is this still open? If it is, I'd love to join! ^_^ (If you'll have me of course)
Edit: For some reason, the spoiler hates me. Excuses for that.

Name: Francesco Presicci (nicknamed Franc)
Age: 19
Appearance:

Francesco stands 192 cm (6'3) tall and is one of those people that somehow manages to keep fit while failing to sport regularly (bloody unfair genetics).
Gender: Male
Archetype/Clique: The seriously talkative musician/ the cool exchange student
Personality: Francesco is an attractive young man who tends to abuse his looks rather often. He is quite intelligent, loves acting and is currently on an exchange program from Italy. Due to his looks, his cute accent and his charisma, he can easily manipulate others -especially women- if he wishes to do so. He has however never really shown interest in pursuing romantic relationships and to anyone who knows him, his participation in "Love or Run" has come as quite a surprise. To anyone who has just met him, Francesco would appear to be a friendly, lighthearted and somewhat absent-minded young man. Deep down however, Franc is calculating and -as any other human being- afraid of getting hurt.
Strengths: Franc is incredibly talented when it comes to his cello, he is almost fluent in English, Italian, French and Spanish and has a keen interest in philosophical and historical matters. To maintain his image as the cool ladies man however, he keeps the later two somewhat of a secret.
Weaknesses: Franc is extremely bad at sports, the only ones he doesn't fail miserably at are dancing and archery. Moreover, he becomes simply petrified at the sight of guns, hates mirrors for some reason (he is fine with seeing his reflection in water) and is really bad at any exact subjects (science, math and all of those fun things) finally, he gets sick rather easily and really can't take gory situations.
Fears: Any sort of modern weapon, being injured, blood, becoming unable to play the cello, mirrors.
Audition Video: "- this thing even work?" With a shudder, the darkness lifts from the screen to reveal a close-up of a young man. His deep, dark brown eyes, slight tan and black hair give away his Italian roots. As he takes a few steps back and sits down on a chair, a small apartment becomes partly visible. In one corner a neatly made bed can be spotted next to what appears to be a cello, carefully placed on its standard. The little that the viewer can distinguish of the sparsely decorated room can only lead to construct the image of an orderly young man's room. That is, without taking into account the pages of music sheets that lie scattered around the floor.
With a soft cough, the Italian clears his throat and forces the viewer's attention to his attractive features. "Hey there, my name is Francesco Presicci. Although my friends tend to call me Franc. Apparently that's easier for them because of this pronunciation thing Ameri-" A hissing sound escapes from the invisible person attending the camera, reminding Francesco that he shouldn't be his airhead-self for once and stay focused. A slight smile crosses his face as he is kindly reminded of all of this. "Oh, yes. Audition. Right. I'd be a perfect candidate for your game show Love or Run because I-" At this he halts for a moment to point a finger at the camera "am going to win both your hearts and your money." He finishes with a wink that supposedly would make the hearts of teenage girls melt, that is, if they wouldn't be put off by the cliché-ness of it all. Just as the vision fades to black, a loud laugh can be heard, as well some soft mumbling in the background.
Extra: Mind you, Franc isn't the stereotypical wimpy guy that relies only on his looks to get things done, but more about that will hopefully be revealed through IC.

@AlidaMaria of course your welcome to join :)

 

[Andy]

And yes your accepted :)

 

[~DirkJake~]

Name:
Roxy King

Age:
19, almost 20

Appearance:
If you take a look at Roxy, you don't see much besides a girl with black hair, shorter arms, and different coloured eyes. Her one eye is blue, while the other is orange- odd combo if you ask me. Her common outfit is a simple coloured, yet diverse top with a dark coloured jacket that is either dark brown, grey, or black. She wears a pair of black jeans, and a pair of black and white striped dress flats with little bows at the toe. However, she had seem to be short all her life and suddenly grew a lot, and is 6' 5"... yeah. Along with that, she has a few physical disorders causing her feet to sometimes bend in unatural ways- I am noting that here because it has to do with appearance. She is a bit chubby, but it doesn't bother her- BECAUSE SHE IS KAWAII!

Gender:
Female

Archetype/Clique:
The Inadequate Dreamer

Personality:
Roxy is the last person you would talk to about giving up. She is always setting new goals and hopes and all that crazy shit. She is mostly always sitting around hoping that she will be able to do a bunch of different things, but sometimes a wave of depression can go over her because she realizes that she will never be able to complete these goals. Once her mind is set, her mind is set. She loves asking questions, and doesn't care about what others think.

Strengths:
Roxy can come up with scenes and prompts really easy, for she has a cache of them set in her mind. Need creativity? She's there. She won't give up, which is a good thing for her team mate. She has the ability to stay in one place for a while and keep calm. She can speak some Latvian, but couldn't speak much more due to her lack of memory. She normally gives off good vibes to team mates.

Weaknesses*:
To be honest, she has more weaknesses than strengths. She has short term memory, weak ankle disorder, asthma, minor panic attacks, lack of humor, unability to understand basic sarcasm, and she has an allergy to diary products, peanuts, and cats.

Fears:
Having all of her dreams fail, and being eaten by cannibals.

Audition Video:
"Roxy- calm down, the camera's rolling," a female voice says from behind the camera. The girl turns around wearing a pale blue ruffled top and a black blouse. Her short hair is down and she is wearing a cheesy white fedora. She takes a deep breath before stating some simple facts. "Hi, my name is Rox-" the voice behind the camera cuts her off. "OH MY GOD NO DUH I DIDN'T KNOW THAT!" Roxy seems angry, the green screen behind her still staying as the woods for some reason. "Well, I always wanted to actually win something, and if I get the money I can possibly enter into something- and I also want to get into college." She puts her head down, not being able to think of anything. The camera falls as the voice cusses. The screen goes black.

Extra:
Roxy is more into the crazy anime guys who try to be cool, but never are.
