The Losers Club
They will never be good enough.
Even when the impossible happens.
Story
The Nerd, the Queen Bee, the Psycho, the Outcast, the Cheerleader, the Freak, the Jock and the introvert new kid. Eight teens. One huge mystery.
When eight teenagers from different cliques, backgrounds, and families get Saturday detention, the whole lot of them are stuck together for hours. During their time together, they encounter a demon who came along to snatch the soul of a late classmate of their's who wandered the halls. The eight of them are the only ones to witness it.
After seeing what they have, there was no going back to their "normal" lives. They can only start to become more aware of the strange things in their town.
In spite of being from different worlds, they gather together to investigate the local mysteries of the paranormal forces and supernatural creatures of Acadia Bay. However, they are not only forced to come to terms with and face the issues of their town but also with their own problems.
Rivalries will be made, but not without friends and blossoming love.
They all may come from different places, but they all share one thing in common. One way or another, they are all losers. Losers who will never be good enough.
Characters
"You keep a lot to yourself, because it's difficult to find people who understands."
If you have any ideas you want to add to characters, just let me know. I am totally open to that.

The Geek - male - love interest: The Queen Bee [OPEN]
The Geek(also a bit of a nerd), but mostly a loser, is an obvious target for bullying because of his social anxiety and for his blatant beliefs of something fishy going on in their town, something supernatural. He is the younger brother of the Jock, though, they haven't been close since their father left them at a young age. He spends most of his time at home alone because his mother is always working and his brother avoids him. The closest thing he has to a friend is the Freak and the New Kid.
The Queen Bee – female – love interest: The Geek [ @neptune ]
The Queen Bee, the beauty queen, and boss. One could say she runs the school, being the biggest bitch around and the most feared. Really, she suffers from abuse at home and so she takes it out on others. Before she was the popular one it was her ex-best friend since kindergarten, the Psycho, who is her main target. Truthfully, she's a dork on the inside but has become so bitter and hateful.
The Psycho – female – love interest: The Outcast [ @winnie ]
The "psycho", "dike" and her most popular nickname "Mellow Yellow" for when she was on a 3rd-grade camping trip she allegedly peed on herself. Truthfully, she is not the psycho people claim her to be. She used to be the popular one until her friendship with Queen Bee ended in seventh grade. Ever since she has been suffering and became the closed-off weirdo.
The Outcast – male – love interest: The Psycho [OPEN]
A social outcast, like the Psycho and Nerd he has no friends. He is a frequent drug user and often gets into trouble of any kind as well as causes it. No one bothers him because of how mean and aggressive he can be, they dub him as a sociopath. He is especially verbally abusive to his family and others when he is high, without anyone knowing he's suicidal. His younger sister is the Cheerleader who he is fiercely protective of despite not being close to her.
The Cheerleader – female – love interest: The Freak [@Violet]
Out all of the most popular kids, she is the most liked and hated simultaneously in spite of being the Queen Bee's companion. The cheerleader is known to be kind, but she gossips a lot. Most of her gossip is lies because she is a pathological liar, needing attention from others. She is neglected by her parents and isn't close to her older brother, the Outcast. In kindergarten, she was in mutual love with the Freak before first grade happened and the bullying came along.
The Freak – male - love interest: The Cheerleader [ @MaryGold ]
The Freak, being totally different from the others. But only because he thinks differently and is a total music(or art) prodigy. The Freak has been an orphan since his parents dumped him at the age of four. He chases after the Cheerleader, his first friend, and love, not caring that the two of them live in two different worlds. He is also the closest thing that the Nerd has to a friend.
The Jock/player - male – love interest: The New Kid [OPEN]
The jock and player is not the smartest book on the shelf but he is known to be courageous and determined. He is also known for going out and/or sleeping with every other girl and some guys in the school. He is the older brother of the Nerd, but he distances himself from his brother, blaming him for their father leaving.
The New Kid – male – love interest: The Jock/Player [OPEN]
The new kid, who is also an introvert, but not at all shy. He moves into town to stay with his uncle, the town cuckoo, because his parents are fighting and don't want him around for the outcome, which is sure to be divorce. He's just trying to fit in somewhere but most groups have already been formed and closed off. The only people who have bothered themselves with him is the Freak and the Nerd by association.

Rules
1. All Iwaku rules apply, obviously. My word is law, and things like that ...
2. This roleplay is teen and up(almost mature, but not quite), containing violence, blood, and gore, suggestive themes, use of strong language, drugs and alcohol usage and different orientation. However, do not go overboard with the use of swearing, use it with class. If things get too sexual, take it to PMs or fade to black. And be reasonable with the blood and gore.
3. This is meant to be a small rp of four people, so we will be doubling, NPCs will also be allowed. I think this should be obvious, but you cannot play your own love interest and try not to pick two characters of the same gender if you can.
4. Have proper roleplay etiquette. No power playing, metagaming, godmodding, Mary/Gary sue, etc.
5. Posting expectation is once every twelve days. I know how busy we all can be, so if this doesn't work, we can talk. Also at least two full paragraphs a post. And if you're going to disappear for a while, let me know. I am very understanding.
6. Please use real face claims.
7. Drama in IC only, keep OOC clean and have fun!
