Our Story

@ Irish Prince Nialler
@ Bangarang!

My vote's for the UK for setting, in Chester or even Cardiff.

If we do set it in the UK, I was thinking of having one English character and having one Welsh one because technically they're from different countries that reside in a bigger country, and there could be this rivalry every football and rugby season, especially when England play Wales.

@ Mr. Darcy
I vote for UK too. And as for the city, I'll let you decide. Because if it were up to me, I'll probably pick one of the One Direction boys' hometown because bias.

And the sports rivalry angle is brilliant!! And I think it can happen between all of the characters since they come from different countries. Like Olympics. Or the World Cup!

@ Irish Prince Nialler
@ Mr. Darcy

Sounds good...
Both of mine are gonna be from Aus.

@ Irish Prince Nialler
Haha, understandable. Chester's right on the border so I lean towards that one for setting.

England v Wales rivalry is so mad. I don't think I've ever see rivalry like that other than Man Utd v Liverpool, because they hate each other. But World Cup and Six Nations would probably be big events for these people.

@ Bangarang!
Anndd...forgot to reply to you. Sounds great!

@ Mr. Darcy
haha that's cool
I should have my information up soonish

Here they are... i changed my male a little so he is originally from the US.

Ryder Leighton

Ryder is a 22 year old guy who hasn’t had to work a day in his life as he is fed money by his parents, his life is easy, all he had to do was complete school and then do whatever he wanted his parents never pushed him to be anything great not because they didn’t care but because they thought it was best for him to choose in his own time.
Ryder was born in New York and lived there until his was 13 until he dad had to take a position in outback Australia. From the ages 13-21 he lived in the rural township of Wudinna, his mother got a job as a primary school teacher while his father constantly worked away in the either other small townships or in the big cities. Ryder hated it.
Wudinna was where he met Kenzi, she was a local girl and the two formed a friendship and through high school feelings began to change into more than just friendship however Ryder moved back to the states leaving a broken hearted Mackenzie behind.
And now at 22 he has become somewhat of a ladies man, constantly out partying and enjoy the company of other people. However when things get crazy with his parents he decides he needs to move away and the best place is the UK.

Mackenzie “Kenzi” Tyson

Mackenzie is a 21 year old woman who is aspiring to go further in her life then her parents did, she doesn’t want to end up married and living on a farm like most of her friends have done, she wants to get out and explore the world. She is an aspiring fashion designer and received the highest marks in school for her creations. Her parents are proud of her and encourage her to pursue her dreams.
She is studying her career further and has been to several expos where she has displayed her designs which she made herself. It was when she was in one of the cities she was sighted by a larger named designer, Keira McCallum that said she would take her under her wing. Since then Kenzi has been working for her ever since and she has been given the opportunity to continue her work with Kiera over in the UK she couldn’t say no to the opportunity so now here she is. Little does she or Ryder know that they are both staying in the same vicinity

@ Irish Prince Nialler
@ Mr. Darcy

^^ forgot to tag you both

@ Bangarang!
Ah! Both Ryder and Kenzie seem so awesome already!

@ Mr. Darcy
The Liverpool vs. Man Utd thing is very big even where I'm from. My cousin (a Man Utd fan) and my bro (a Liverpool fan) trash talk each other's team all the time whenever there's a match. It's crazy because otherwise, they're attached to the hips.

@ Bangarang!
Ahh, so they're going to know each other from before! That's great.

@ Irish Prince Nialler

I grew up with two brothers, one who supported Man U and one who supported Liverpool. It was a common occurrence to hear "Liverpoo!" when matches would happen or there'd be a mention of the team in the papers or something. My dad didn't support either (he's a Wimbledon fan) and if something had the Man U emblem on, he'd be like "I can't see anything beneath that pile of poo" and football is just crazy.

So! Here's my characters. It's kinda short at the moment but I have less than an hour on my laptop before I have to board the train back to uni. I'll come back to add more late tonight.

Anita Sim
Born and raised in Singapore. Her grandparents were from China that came to the Malayan archipelago during the World War II and her family had resided in the country ever since. She loved food so in high school, she started blogging about the food around her neighbourhood, sold by the street vendors and local food stalls. As she got older, she started travelling all around Singapore for local cuisine's food hunt all the while her blog gaining more readers and followers, especially for tourists that are coming to Singapore in search for Asian cuisine.

By the time she graduated university, her blog had managed to grab the attention of one of the leading publication company in Singapore. She was called to write for their web magazine that was based in the UK and without looking back, Anita packed up her bags and ventured off to the foreign land.

Jasper Cassidy
(I still have to construct a bio for him. I'll get back to you guys later )

@ Bangarang!

@ Mr. Darcy
Liverpoo. My friend would go mad if she heard that.

@ Mr. Darcy
they sure are...

@ Irish Prince Nialler
Well Jasper is hot and Anita sounds great!

@ Irish Prince Nialler
@ Bangarang!

Characters sound great so far. Still need to faceclaim mine, which I absolutely loathe.

And just to be clear, they know each other before the story begins, right? Friendship is established and whatnot? Also as they're living in the same block of flats, some are going to live together, right? To make it more realistic because christ is rent high in certain places.

@ Mr. Darcy
Yes. By the time our story starts, they already know each other. Maybe the girls in the same flat, the dudes in the same?

@ Irish Prince Nialler
@ Mr. Darcy
Sounds good to me

@ Bangarang!
@ Irish Prince Nialler

Sounds good!

Here's my two! What's the age range we're doing? I've left mine blank!

Sean Brenn

Sean comes from a small village in North Wales. His parents divorced when he was seven and his mother remarried while his dad has a long-term girlfriend. He's got one full brother and a sister from his dad's girlfriend and another brother from his mum's husband. Despite all that, both his parents encouraged him in his education even though he preferred to spend his weekends getting drunk in fields with his mates and standing outside shops to pay over-18s to buy him fags. He managed to get into sixth form barely and applied to study Accounting and Finance in university and got into Chester though clearing. Despite his heart belonging in Wales, he stayed after graduating and went into consumer banking. He's a huge rugby fan and supports Chelsea.

Kelsey Roberts

Kelsey comes from Nottingham, with a family that consists of younger twin sisters and an alcoholic older brother who no one ever sees. When her nan moved in with them just before her fifteenth birthday, she knew that she had to go to uni further away from home. Deciding that English was her favourite, she chose to study English Literature at uni and Chester was her firm choice. She graduated with no firm idea of what career to pursue but instead became a full-time retail worker to continue living in Chester. She loves tennis and supports Tottenham Hotspur.

@ Mr. Darcy
@ Irish Prince Nialler
Love it they sound great!
I did mine early 20's so maybe around there? Does that sound alright Lina

So do we have any title ideas and posting order references?

@ Bangarang!
@ Mr. Darcy

Hey! Sorry for disappearing. I finally got on my laptop.

Okay so here's the bio for Jasper.

Jasper Cassidy

Jasper is considered the 'brain' of their group. He is pursuing his postgraduate study part-time while also working as a research assistant for his professor. Despite him being the smart one, Jasper is gullible when it comes to real-life situation that often gets him in trouble. His mother got pregnant of him when she was in her late 30's and had given up on the prospect of ever having a child so he's considered as a miracle. Hence, he's been spoiled by his parents ever since. He can be considered as the 'mummy's boy'. His friends make fun of him about it all the time but he doesn't really mind because he loves his mum and he sees nothing wrong with it.

And I make my characters both around 24-25. I don't want them to be too young but it's up to you guys how old you want to make your characters.

@ Mr. Darcy
@ Irish Prince Nialler
You're character sounds great Lina

Okie dokie awesome :)

So now we just need to figure out a title, story page and posting order yeah?
