THE PLOT

[Lorelai]

It's all about you

Name/ Nickname - > My most commonly used name online is Aethubryn, but feel free to shorten that or give me another nickname.
Roleplaying experience - > Oh... I'll say about 8 years, off and on.
Any other characters on this site? -> Nope
Tell us something about you, go for it :3 - > I'm a senior in college, so I'll be pretty busy. Honestly, I'm not sure how much time I'll have to RP, but I thought I'd at least apply so that I COULD RP if I get the time! xD Also, I suck at creating my own characters, so I'm blatantly stealing one of my favorites... with a few necessary changes, hehe.

What it's really all about:: {At least 3 paragraphs}
Lorelai is an extremely strong - and strong-willed - woman. She can take on all sorts of problems and work through them, which is what makes her amazing at her job. She is also able to get through rough times (and she's had quite a few!) with the support of her daughter and her community. Lorelai loves to have fun, too, especially with her daughter. She can be a tease at times, and some might even call her a bit crazy - but you get used to it if you know her long enough. Most people who meet her learn to love her.</span>

Lorelai looks very young for a woman in her 30's. She keeps herself well-dressed and looking good, and she's quite attractive. Her hair is on the long side, and is worn in various ways. Her smile is contagious.

HISTORY

Update us {At least 4 paragraphs} ::
Lorelai grew up in Hartford under her severely formal parents, Emily and Richard Gilmore. Her whole life was basically planned for her from the start and she hated every second of it. At age 16, however, she threw things way out of whack by getting pregnant with her boyfriend of the time, Christopher. Lorelai kept it quiet as long as she could, drove herself to the hospital to have her baby on her own, and then ran away with her newborn to the nearby town of Stars Hollow.

Desperate for a new start, Lorelai ended up at the doorstep of the Independence Inn. The owner there, Mia, took her in and gave her a job. They lived in an old potting shed, and there Lorelai raised her daughter, Rory. Eventually, they moved to their own house, but Lorelai continued to work for Mia. She loved her job and dreamed of one day opening her very own inn with her best friend and fellow employee, Sookie St. James.

Being exceptionally bright, Rory had dreamed of going to Harvard for as long as she could remember. To accomplish this, Lorelai enrolled her into the top-of-the-line prep school, Chilton. But to pay the hefty tuition, Lorelai had to ask her parents for the money, bringing a contract into the picture where she and Rory were required to have dinner with Emily and Richard every friday night.

Eventually, Lorelai's dream came true, and she is now owns the Dragonfly Inn with Sookie. Rory has gone off to college, and doesn't get many chances to see her mother anymore. So when the ever-picky Sookie says she absolutely NEEDS the latest kitchen gadget, which is only found in Chubu, Lorelai takes some time away from work to get it for her. She didn't realize she'd have to fit into this new region in order to get what she needs. But at least she has her cell phone. And there's coffee in Chubu, right?

THE RP SAMPLE

Show us what you've got :: Here's a quality post of mine from another Pokemon RP forum. It was a while ago, but I still think it's good. It's also slightly inspired by the Gilmore Girls... so it kinda fits here. xD But, uh... don't come to expect posts like this from me often. I'm just showing what I'm CAPABLE of, heh.

--------------

Pale gray clouds wandered across the morning sky, pushed forward by a steady breeze. Colorful leaves soared aimlessly through the air without a care in the world, teasing those still clinging helplessly to the trees. Sunlight poured through breaks in the cloud cover, shining warm light upon the world and creating beautiful shadows all around the land. In short, it was an absolutely perfect late-autumn day.

“…and thus the hypotenuse is 25. Isn’t that right, Jess?”

Rows of students in front of him perked from their own dreariness and rapidly turned to face the boy in the back row. Finally, a break from the monotony! The corners of their lips ascended smugly, awaiting the verbal beating to come while inwardly thankful the spotlight had passed right over their heads.

Forced to pry his gaze from the scenery beyond the classroom’s only window, Jess Martinelli glared at his instructor with the utmost annoyance. Professor Madeino nearly always chose to bother Jess over all the other students, even though the majority tuned out the lecture just as much as he did. Maybe it was the way he dressed – always in his black biker jacket and tight, ripped jeans – that was seen as a sufficient excuse to continually torture him. Or, it could be that Jess never failed to claim the back-left desk to sit in, as well as the empty seat next to it as a footrest, which was a magnet for teacher’s disapproving eyes. No matter the reason, Jess knew he was more intelligent than the rest of the idiots in his class combined, and he’d had quite enough of this undeserved mockery.

“Actually, SIR,” Jess said with a satisfied smirk, “you forgot to take the square root of C.”

Taking time to bask in his triumph, Jess casually removed his feet from the neighboring desk and brought them to the floor. Swiftly, as Professor Madeino’s face dropped from a display of arrogance to one of having just fucked up grandly, Jess rose and swung his backpack around his thin body in one fluid motion.

“That’ll be all for today, kiddos,” the boy continued, this time addressing his classmates. “Class dismissed.”

And with that final touch of superiority, Jess sauntered out of the room a lesser martyr. He could never go back in there again after that scene. Not that he’d ever WANT to, of course, but he would have to eventually. Algebra for Retards, as he called it, was a required class for his major, and the only way to override the requirement was to get special permission from – you guessed it – Professor Madeino.

That man is absolutely INCAPABLE of believing anything could be learned outside of a stuffy classroom! fumed the twenty-one year old as he pounded back to his dorm room. I bet I’ve read more about math in one year than that bastard’s learned in his whole life.

It wasn’t an exaggerated statement. Jess had been highly interested in computers from a young age, and as soon as he could read, he devoured every book even remotely related to his subject of intrigue he could get his hands on – including complex math. This obsession lasted him all through elementary school, and continued albeit at a slower pace in high school and college only because finding a book he hadn’t already read became difficult.

But no, you CAN’T learn anything significant from reading alone! The piles of scrap computer parts in my room must have magically manifested into fully functional computers in my sleep! And all the websites I coded for my friends last summer? Pure luck, obviously, that I was able to type in the correct combination of characters to make working code!

By then, Jess had reached the side entry to his dorm building. After fiddling with the finicky lock which didn’t like his key, he trudged up the two flights of stairs to his room and quickly turned the knob. The door, roused from its slumber and angry about it, gave a high pitched squeal as Jess pushed it open. Inside, a younger boy was sprawled across a bed which looked as if it hadn’t been cleaned in a decade, completely immersed in video game on his DS.

“Yo, Jess. You look pissed,” he said, without so much as a glance away from the screen. Logan had an uncanny knack for knowing exactly how people around him felt. Jess thought it was a bit creepy, but the ladies loved it, and that was really all that mattered. “Whatever it is, I didn’t do it,” he added.

Closing the door behind him, Jess stepped further into the room and stopped at the side of Logan’s bed. He’d made a snap decision after finding out Logan was home, and wasted no time going for it. “Let me borrow your Poketech, Logan. I need to get away for a while.”

This statement caused the blonde boy to pause his game and face Jess. “You know as well as I do, they’re programmed for one person only – the owner.”

“And you know as well as I do,” Jess spat back, “that I can easily hack the coding to make it work for me. So quit wasting time and hand it over.”

Logan shrugged, then rummaged through the mountain of items haphazardly tossed onto his desk until he found the device. “Have it your way, man.” He handed off the machine to Jess and returned to his game. Having been best friends with Jess since grade school, Logan knew his Poketech would come back in one piece, still working as well as it had before.

“Thanks, I owe you one,” replied Jess. He then flopped down on his own bed, taking care not to mess up his brown, gelled hair too badly. Oddly, he found it easier to tinker with small electronics while lying on his back. Too easy, almost. Within twenty minutes, the Poketech was all set to take Jess into Poketechopia – the virtual world Jess had always heard talk of, but never seen for himself. It was supposed to be restricted to Trainers and their Pokemon, but that was going to change shortly.

Logan was roused from his game once more by the sound of Jess standing up. “How’s it goin’? Did you hack it yet?”

“Yup,” he replied simply. “Catch you later, Logan.”

With no further ado, he pressed the button on the Poketech. For a second, his body color faded and was replaced by a silhouette. The next second, the black outline became pixilated. One more second, and he had disappeared.

Excellent app so far, darling, I'm rather excited about the quality of your RP sample. (Not just the length, I mean, i post really long posts in my app which is no where near what I'd normally do, I mean the quality which shines through ;D)

Now I'm truly sorry for this, but yes you need to write a personality section, just to show how much you understand the character. But, don't tell anyone this, I'll let you off with one simple paragraph, only because of the quality of your history and your RP sample.

If you need help with it, just expland on what you put for her likes and dislikes ;D

[Lorelai]

Well, that's at least better than 3! Thanks for letting it slide. ^^

Though, actually, I was surprised to find it didn't take me very long to edit in that one paragraph. I guess I'm just horrible at writing personalities for characters I make up. x__X

[Arceus]

ACCEPTED

Very good application, as I've already commented. Thank you for adding the paragraph, which is good, so I don't understand why that was a problem for you xD

I'd write more about how much I liked the app, but I already commented on it, so yeah, awesome application and have fun Rping and all that jazz. ;D
