Return from hiatus. [06 02 @ 2p]

natasiya
Because I was gone so long, I thought I should re-introduce and see what new lines came in while I was gone.

Nat is a 34-year-old publishing executive. She is local but went to college in New York before returning to London for grad school and then back to New York for work. She returned to London about two years ago now. Her personality is not for everyone. Nat is blunt, opinionated, and not apologetic about either of those traits. She works hard and expects a level of maturity in the people around her. Former/current connections include ~smoore (ex), ~esmemoore (ex' sister that was a friend until recently), ~rdal (currently engaged and living with him and his daughter), ~elliegibson (acquaintance since youth though they do not get along), ~blewitt (author with her publishing house), ~ziacenza (friend), ~el_rice (acquaintance)...

Anything I have wrong or have forgotten, please feel free to correct. Anyone interested in new lines / new characters that have come in, I would love to work something out.

So I'm trying to get motivated with Luca here. He's 21, about to graduate college with a business degree and single. He's looking for a full time job already. His hobby is soccer. Now I need to figure out what to do with him in game. He's Mimi's stepson. Any body need him for a line for something?

I'm putting together an application for Alex Gaskarth, and thought I would put the feelers out as I put all of the finishing touches together on his character and background.

So far I can only give the basics, as I am still working out the finer details of him before I apply.

  • His full name is Harper Lake Jackson.

  • He is 26 years old.

  • He was born in Durham, moved to Newcastle as a young teen, and came to London for college.

  • He studied for six years at the Royal Veterinary College, and graduated as a qualified vet two years ago.



  • If you'd like to set up some pre-existing lines, please let me know!

    Hello all! I was wondering if anyone would need Harry Styles for anything? Right now I only have his personality down. He is a bit rebellious and wild. Was thinking of giving him a rough past but that's about it for now. Anyone need anything?

    morant
    Hullo.

    Meet John Morant. Director by trade, entertainment lawyer by family decree. He already has some lines here, but more = ❤️. His bio is a pretty complete picture, but here are the bullet points.

  • LA native, but did a year in college at Goldsmiths.
  • A very casual laid back sort.
  • Surfs & runs marathons.
  • Was an excellent entertainment lawyer, but hated every second of it.
  • Also acts, but isn't all that great at it.
  • Has a history of insane relationships that he blames on his families complete inability to stay with anyone. His father is on his 7th soon to be ex wife.
  • Is currently directing an independent horror film and has picked up a few episodes here and there of shows on the BBC and ITV.
  • Lives in a Georgian flat in Shoreditch.

    His existing lines are:

  • [info]adelemay - His last relationship was a very serious one (they were engaged) with Addie's batshit crazy twin sister, Millijoy.
  • [info]elliegibson - Honey. Cougar extraordinaire. Enough said.
  • [info]willywally - Wills is one of his other close friends. He once dated Wills' crazy ex. He can usually be found at Wills' pub.

    I'm pretty excited that I have found a European community. With that being said I want to introduce a character I hope to bring into the mix.

    Shin-Tson Wu is a 28 ( maybe 31) year old footballer from China. Shin started his football career with Tianjin Locomotive's youth academy before he was spotted by the Chinese national youth program to study football abroad in a training program in Brazil ( or Italy) sponsored by a large cooperation . His lighting speed, cat like reflexes, and command of the box made him a popular, and successful goalkeepers in the super league, and on the international level. In 2012 he joined a premier league team ( wanna wait until I see if there is any other footballers before I pick a team. Cause teammates will be awesome ) and took the league by storm.

    Shin-Tson take risks, seek adventure and lead a interesting life. He has a rebel's attitude, say and do what he want, he is uninhibited and self-focused. He is also aloof, less reactive and not concerned about what others say and think. He say what's on his mind and speaks clarity about what he want. He command respect with social, intellectual, emotional and physical power. He is cocky to the point of brazen, he is one of the best and highest paid goalkeepers and plays at a high level. So that feeds his cockiness. However if he was a bus boy he still would be cocky. As far as relationship goes, he wants a woman to be purely a lover, not a partner. He likes the romance, passion, and the excitement of being with a woman, but doesn't want the headache that comes with a commitment .

    As far as lines goes, I am open to anything. Would love to find teammates and people who are involved in the sport. Friends, a baby mama, they can't stand each other, but he does take care of the kid, a woman that he spoils, they go out to clubs, and nice restaurants, and even take trips together, but either she done the girlfriend/ wag thing before and is over that, and he knows he wouldn't do right by her. So rather then ruin their friendship they both take what they want and need from each other then move on, until they need each other again. This post was done on my phone since I am in the middle of moving so please forgive any mistakes or typos.

    I would like to bring a Daniel Radcliffe in to the game. Anyone want/need him for anything? I will find a journal code and make a journal once I find out if he's needed for anyone's family.

    So far I have no path for him so he is more or less an open book, minus the face and even that's negotiable. Ha.

    This is Vincenzia Sorabella--aka Zia Cenza, a fashion model who grew up on an olive farm in the province of Florence and currently lives in Lancaster Gate in a very posh penthouse. She was knows for years mostly as a WAG but she's lately been the --something--to [info]blewitt (she's currently residing with him in Paris but they'll be back very soon). She's very flighty, very Italiano, very Gemini and a hobby astrologist. She pretty much is starting from scratch so have at it. Her bio can be found here

    Re-introduction [10 08 @ 9a]

    nedcar
    I should probably re-introduction this character. I've been away a long time, even if he hasn't.

    This is Edmund Carlisle, more commonly called 'Ned', pb'ed by Tom Hiddleston. He's 33, London (well Crofton Park a suburb of London) born and raised. His mother is a dentist, his father is an investment banker, he's the middle of three children (Olivia - the recently departed [info]livcar and younger bother Henry - the not so recently departed [info]henrycar). He's the husband of [info]adelemay, his bride of eight months and the adopted parent of her brother Asher, aged nearly 12. He is a graduate of Goldsmiths, a rabid Chelsea fan and current man of leisure--if leisure means running a massive household with wife, son, bulldog, two cats and juggling school and football practices with his own voice work work and Adele-May's horse jumping schedule.

    He is a former radio PA/Voice Actor/Announcer for the BBC and currently only does voice work due to an unexpected turn of fortune when he lived Stateside that left him with much more money than he has any business having and co-owner of a flat in New York City. He spent time in LA and New York but surprisingly met his wife while he was working the BBC's coverage of the London Olympics. He has been a friend of Honey Gibson-Moore ([info]honeygibson) since he was a teenager thanks to his sister's former involvement in horse-jumping. He is an avid runner, doing a minimum of 5K a day but usually more around 10K. He currently lives right behind Greenwich Park, close enough where the marker for the Prime Meridian actually runs through his front and back gardens (that's front and backyard for us Americans).

    He is acerbic and can be very outspoken when he feels the need arises. Even though in his youth he was as libertine as they come (and still is to tell the truth, he and Addie have routine date nights down at the local 'gentleman's club'), he quite enjoys his calm and comfortable family man role. He loves being a father and the only reason he and Adele aren't littered in children of their own after being together for three years are due to problems in conception thanks to his least favorite person, his father-in-law Ashby Calder and his horrific abuse of his daughter. Not much sticks to him, though he will take you to task if you insult his family. He made a career of being a smug, charming sexually predatory bastard in the past and doesn't shy away from it. He also has a very quiet and fairly well undealt with past of abuse from a former teacher that he completely blames himself for happening and his parents and family weren't much better about dealing with it either (which is why is his hyper sensitive about listening to anything Asher tells him and dealing with it)

    Ned comes with a passelful of connections: besides his wife [info]adelemay, [info]honeygibson and her husband [info]smoore, [info]willywally is an old mate of his from his LA days, [info]esmemoore & [info]mrclark are friends, [info]miavincent is his son's favorite babysitter, [info]pwalsh is Asher's social worker, and [info]rfmartinez & [info]bradygotback are old friends. I'm hoping that though I'm not at nearly 100% (try mostly 60%) I can be around more often with this idiot.

    bcarey
    Thinking about bringing this guy into the fold.

    Brian Carey is a manipulative, oversexed footballer in his late twenties who always wears a suit, likes women with "daddy issues" and is frequently willing to offer his (sometimes hypocritical) opinion. He is an opportunist who manipulates any situation so that it goes his way. He is also highly competitive, and will take on "challenges" to complete outlandish tasks in order to prove his worth. He is proud and stubborn, and attempts to stand by his word. He loves expensive suits, pub crawling, smoking, and gambling. In his life he has only had a few serious relationships, and has a child with a woman from a one-night stand.He was born in England ( not sure which town let) started playing football at an early age, and is considered one of the best goalkeepers in the sport. Most of his career has been spent in England, but he did spend a year in America.

    As far as lines goes I am looking for a best friend, the type of friend that gets in and out of trouble with him, family members, cousins, siblings whatever we can work out. A intense will they/ won't they type of relationship. The two of them push each other buttons, hate to admit how much they care for each other, and just drives each other crazy. Also a baby mama, we can combine the two lines together. And finally teammates.

    Hi everyone! I just put this girl on hold and thought I'd throw her out there and see if anyone wants to work out lines. Her name is Audrey James, she's 25 years old, and an actress on the West End. She's married to [info]thatcherjames who's a lawyer. As far as her personality goes, she's charming and fun, with a natural flare for the dramatic (which is to be expected), loves to shop, and has an affinity for the old Hollywood glamour of the 1940's and 1950's.

    So that's pretty much all I have on her so far. Let's see what we can come up with, yeah?

    fiona
    Hello all!

    This is Fiona Ashley-Cooper, a minor Youtube/Twitch celebrity known for her somewhat decent ability to play video games. She's a geek working for the Youtube collective Polaris by way of English Youtubers, the Yogscast. Though her office is based in Bristol thanks to a rather messy somewhat public and harsh break up from her ginger fiancee, Fiona ran to London to try and drown her sorrows in whiskey and smog. Plus, the break from seagulls night and day is welcome as well.

    She doesn't exactly get on with people, Fiona is for lack of a better title, a sarcastic bitch. She swears like a sailor and speaks quickly with a cigarette in her hand. Her waking hours are either spent bothering the few people she considers friends or talking into a microphone to a bunch of people that may or may not think she's all that great. Fiona is an artist at heart, her scribbling is what gave her a job to begin with and though she was born in America, she became a British citizen two years ago after graduating from the University of Manchester.

    Fi is a tough friend but once she decides that you are trustworthy, you can't exactly get rid of her. Just hopefully she'll find someone she can shout random Game of Thrones references at or Max Mad quotes. I'd love to try anything and hopefully someone will to! Feel free to respond to this or pm me, or really send a smoke signal. We can figure something out.

    Hey, everyone. This is Jason Carr, a conde-nast style photographer I'm trying to moving in from the US. I hope you haven't seen too many characters come through with the same face thus ruining the appeal and my chances of plots.

    One may read his bio here... After breaking up, he's decided to run a little further away from the harsh memories. London being the metropolis that it is and fashion mecca would be a great choice, he's decided. Granted he's impressive enough to get accepted, I'm cool with just about any kind of sl. Dark, light, etc. He's an old character who can best be described as gruff. His humor is twisted and somewhat inappropriate but I think that's what makes him the funnest character I've had. He's rubbed as many people the wrong way as he's charmed others.

    Feel free to PM or drop a comment below if you're interested.
    Looking forward to your responses.

    So, Ollie has been around here for quite a while, but seems to be less then active so I figured I would try to see if anyone is interested in any lines with her. She's married to [info]sonnyb and currently in her 4th year of Med School, just having got into the surgical program this past year. She is currently pregnant, due in November. She's silly and awkward, but has a big heart and will be a great friend if you get to know her. She is the type of person who goes out of her way to make others happy. She loves to laugh. Lately she's been having difficult go of things do to a lot of reasons, but Im hoping that having more people who actually want to talk with her will help.

    I have a kind of crappy schedule, but I am online most of the time, if I have an away message up I am not available, but I am a huge fan of customs or random threads. I am willing to work to make lines work if anyone is interested.

    Anyone looking for more lines around here? Let me know!

    Good Morning, people of greaterlondon.

    I'm looking to bring in Braden here. He's part of the Marine Embassy Guard at the US's London Embassy (obviously). He takes his job pretty dang seriously but is otherwise laid back when not on duty.

    I haven't fully written him up yet, so aside from him being an American, part of the USMC, and his family (who do live in London also), I'm open to anything that anyone might need or want :).

    Hello lovely people of London! I was looking to bring in this Julianne Hough here.

    For the most part Savannah is an open book. She works as a radio DJ, hosting a morning show as a relationship/sex guru. She works her radio show though under a different name (name to be determined) because she doesn't broadcast to the world that that's her show. She usually tells people she's a radio DJ and leave it at that, always giving vague answers to any questions about her job.

    I'd love to fill any lines or just to brainstorm with everyone before I start writing her up tomorrow. Let's be friends!

    Darren Smith is a over confident, egoistical, southern boy from South Carolina. He spends more time picking out his clothes, and fixing his hair then most females, he is charming , has a good sense of humor, and wits that seems to get him in and out of trouble. At 28 he is a successful footballer, and one of the more recognizable names in the MLS. In a effort to help legitimize, and bring more popularity to the sport in America, he turned down a few chances to play overseas. However he feels like he can never call himself a great player until he achieve success in Europe. When his contract was up with the Sounders, he receive an offer from Chelsea, and jumped at the chance to play in one of the top leagues in the sport. He is out of his element in London, the British accent, the food, even the weather, and the way people drives is taking some getting use to. But he is here to prove that this southern yank can keep up with the best of them. He been in London since the start of the 2014-15 season.

    As far as lines goes , I am all about throwing Darren into situations and seeing what happens. I would like for him to have a few friends that he parties and hang out with, maybe some more Americans to befriend as well. I am looking for a female for a fwb/ WAG type of line. It won't be full of fluff.

He was born in London and later moved to the states because that is where his father's job took them. He went to college in San Fransisco which is where he met Dani. He's a freelance photographer and loves everything about the arts. He grew up with a lot of diversity in his life. His mother taught him Russian, English and Spanish. She even taught him some of the slang from back home in London. He's very approachable and super friendly. I'd love some guy pals for him, anyone who he'd know through Dani would be cool too!

    blacknblair
    Hello all! Sorry I've been missing. I did notice there's a bunch of new people so I will take this time to make a plea for lines!

    This here is Blair, and he's a transplant from the US, Detroit, Michigan mainly. He lives with his best friend girlfriend who he grew up with. He was in a band and has been on hiatus with them for a couple years now I do believe, due to the death of a band member and friend of theirs. He's slowly but surely trying to make a comeback in the music scene. He doesn't have much for lines, other than his girlfriend that he would talk about endlessly if he got the chance.

    Then I have Connie ([info]conartistdylan). She's also a transplant from the US, but mainly from LA. She's originally from Texas and has had a somewhat rocky childhood. She lost her father to an illness before she was born. She constantly fought with her mother until she grew into a teen and then it was nothing but notes on the counter to each other. Anyways, after her same battle with the illness, she came to London to seek treatment, currently going to school, and yeah.. that's about it.. Oh, and she's really HAPPY. Haha

    So I need some major lines here.

    Hi All!

    Just apped this girl, Phoebe Moore, little sister to Esme and Sebastian. She's 20 years old, heterosexual, a model and personal shopper, and about to leave her guy (NPC) who has been getting a bit physical with her lately. She's a bit flighty, kind of gullible, but a real people person and so very social. Also, she's kind of daddy's little princess Peanut, she's a bit of a kleptomaniac just for lols (no one really knows that), she's a bit of a fitness nut (jogs, eats well, takes care of herself, has some control issues), and she also tends to go for bad guys.

    She lives in a quirky Victorian house with 5 other people (2 girls she met through modelling) and although what most people know of her is that she likes to shop, look good, go out, have fun, etc, she also really loves animals and spends some time horseback riding and volunteering at shelters. She's not as shallow as she seems, but certainly does squander some of her potential. She's smart, but has little interest in education, even though she comes from a (well off) family who encourages that.

    Um, not sure what else to say! Her full bio is here.

    If she gets in, she'll have a few family and almost-family connections (Es & Thomas? Bas & Honey?), but will also need friends, exes, maybe even housemates, etc? Open to all lines! Anyone interested?

    Hello everyone! So, this girl just got in and I thought I’d toss her out for some lines.

    Her name is Rory Walker and she’s the younger sister to Charlie Walker [info]charliecwalker and older sister to two mixed twin boys. She has some serious daddy issues that will probably never get resolved, as well as a love for anything dangerous. She works currently as a skydiving instructor and loves every single second of it, which is cause for concern with her family.

    I’d love to brain storm any sort of lines. She needs friends that are willing to do some of the adrenaline junkie games with her. She absolutely loves bungee jumping, sky diving, rock climbing, and has her eyes set on swimming with sharks. I’d love to also find some flings here and there. She hasn’t dated much since her engagement to her ex was broken off. I don’t know if I could find anyone to pick him up or fill the spot but you can read more about that in her biography which you can find here

    I look forward to playing with all of you!

    Alright, this is slightly late coming but it's better late than never.

    I'd like everyone to meet Alfie. He's in need of some lines.

    Alfie is a 27 year old gay man who's working as a chef at The Bloomsbury Hotel. He was born in London but at 13 his family was uprooted and headed to New York. Alfie was never happy in America and moved back home as soon as he had saved up enough cash to do so and has been living here ever since. You find out more helpful hints and random tidbits here

    Line wise he's pretty bare. He has his ex-wife [info]lolaturner and sister in [info]fayturner. For a brief moment he dated [info]titan_trandon but it ended fairly badly. The two still talk but mostly because they have Fay in common.

    I guess from here I'd like to find him more lines. He can always use more clients, he sells pot on the side and can typically find you any harder drugs you might want but tries to avoid keeping them around. He can use old friends that let him crash on their couch until he was able to support himself financially or just old friends/new friends. I'm rambling, whoops! Sorry!

    I've applied this guy, and since he's a local, I wanted to cast a net and see if there are any lines out there. He's a gay 30 year old sou chef that lives right on the border of Camden, Westminster, and London City. He has a pretty large family, a history with drugs, a billion tattoos, and loves anything that has to do with food. He's a really chill, laid back dude that avoids drama religiously. I'm looking for cooking mates, friends that he's grown up with or has currenty, or to see if there are any lines around that need to be filled.

    wrena
    Hi there, I am interested in bringing this character into the game. I've written a bio about her, but I am not sure how much I like it. Basically, Wren is a 34 year old Neurologist (a field I am very interested in), but was basically hired by the hospital to be the face and to schmooze. She's very cerebral (go figure) and up until this point in her life has only focused on academics/being the best. She's now having a quarter life crisis and realizing that she's 34, unmarried and has very few friends outside of the hospital. I would love to brainstorm about potential lines! I'm also pretty flexible with where she's headed and where she's coming from. As I said, her biography/my vision for her is just a skeleton.

    Thanks!
