When You Start To Fall Apart, You Find Someone To Hold You Together

Lets face it....

Life sucks.

Yes, there, i said it. Maybe you were stabbed in the back, maybe you were cheated on or lied to, maybe you just want to curl up and die, or maybe you feel smothered, need to break free. But for whatever reason, if you're here, its because the world's broken you down. All the happy people, they dont get it. They say they understand, offer sympathy, but it just doesnt work. Because you cant truly understand what its like to be broken until someone or something comes and breaks you. So here we are, we lonely broken few. Will we be able to find someone to put us back together?


So, obviously, this is a chat where everyone's well..... going through a very rough patch. For some reason (that reason being to aid the plotline), all of us broken, depressed, or generally sad individuals have gone out for whatever reason. We all live in the small town of Blackthorn. Its a tiny place, a coastal region (think like, British Columbia. Lots of woods and ocean and stuff). A small town out of the way, and there arent too many places to be. So pick a place and go find your saviour.....

---> The Beach!
Yes, yes, the wonderful beach. Waves, sand, and lots of nice secluded caves and cliffs off the beaten path on this particular night, there's a small party happening since everyone's on summer break and noone's got anywhere to be. Are you there to try and cheer yourself up, or do you just have no better place to be? Whatever the reason, you can come here if you wish - every teen in town is automtically invited.


---> The Local Club
Yes, there is one local club/bar place. Its a fairly decent hotspot for teenagers, although there're sometimes adults here too. But there's also live music and a nice back alley almost noone ever really uses...


---> The Woods
So, maybe you've just decided to go for a walk? There's lots of woods around. There's not much chance of you running into anyone, but maybe if you're lucky......


---> The Park
Yeah, there's a small park with a few open fields and some more trees and benches and a few monuments and stuff. Sometimes people like to hang out there. Worth a shot.



So who are you going to meet? A mysterious stranger? A long-time crush you've never had the guts to talk to? An old friend? Who knows! Just get out there, oh wounded character, and find another wounded. Together, you can stitch each other's wounds, and who knows? Maybe your life will get better


*** Oh, and obviously, we cant have too too many people in any one place. There's room for lots of people at the Beach or the Club, but the Woods and Park are more secluded and not as many people are liable to go there. Also, please try to write posts that are as long as possible. I know sometimes its hard to write a lot, so i can understand if its a bit short, but please try to avoid one liners and quality is a MUST, please, try to use proper spelling and grammar (i dont mind typos since i make lots of them, but try to keep things as literate as possible)

Background: Her dad left the picture when she was very little, and her mom became an alcoholic. About two months ago, Luna came home to find that her mother had committed suicide. She was placed with an adoptive family, but her adoptive parents try far too hard to be nice and make her feel good. She knows its strained and that they really have no idea what to do with her. Since her mother's death, she's become far more quiet and reserved, disconnected from everything. She's either wandering aimlessly around town, at the barn to see her horse, or locked in her room. They've been having problems getting her to eat and she hasnt been able to sleep much either. Was prescribed sleeping pills, but ignores them.

Background: His parents always wanted him to become a lawyer or go into politics or something, to be neat and respectable. They already disapproved of him because of his hair colour and were always trying to get him to dye it a 'normal colour' or cut it decently, trying to change him, make him study. He was always fighting with them and finally they kicked him out of the house. He has no money and nowhere to go, just whatever he could pack. He has no clue what he's going to do now.

Name: Trintan
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Hair: Brown hair cut relatively long. He keeps it back in a low pony tail most of the time.

Background: Trintan lives with his mother and younger brother. His father acquired alzheimers at an early age and at the moment is being cared for at their local hospital.

After some convincing, he agreed and packed his bags.

Name: Fable
Age: 18
Gender:Female
Hair: Mid-neck length, curly blonde hair.
Eyes: Dark blue
Skin: Ivory
Height/Build: She's short, about 5'1", with a feminine build. She's curvy despite her lack of body fat. She has short limbs that are somewhat stocky rather than slender.
Piercings/Scars/Tattoos: Fable has her ears pierced and is contemplating getting her belly button pierced.
Personality: Fable is a fun-loving friendly girl and she loves drama. Some people think she's too innocent and question her motives, and sometimes they're right to doubt her kindness. She can be conniving when she wants to be and she knows how to stand up for herself when necessary.
Background:A natural born actress, Fable, never got a chance to show her talent to the world. Her father and mother tried the best they could to make her happy, but never could fully succeed, making Fable the wild, unsettled, chica she is now. Her father is a rich ranch owner in Texas, but they are originally from the New England states. Fable has just broken up with her boyfriend, who had been cheating on her. In a depressed, trance-like state, Fable made a spur of the moment decision to go on a vacation.
Other: Fable has traveled all over the United States and is now wanting to venture over seas.

Name: Mai (Plain and simple :3)
Age: 16 (Looks about 13-14)
Gender: Female
Hair: Waist-length, chocolate brown
Eyes: Grayish brown with a tint of warm cinnamon red
Skin: Pale but not albino
Height/Build: 5'2, slender to the point of being almost frail, but not disfigured. Delicate.
Piercings/Scars/Tattoos: Small, but still noticeable scars everywhere on her body, with a fair amount being on her hands and wrists
Personality: Mai is, and always has been, a fairly quiet and introverted girl. She doesn't express much in terms of emotions, so her face tends to stay blank the majority of the time. She doesn't necessarily like being alone, but feels out of place in the company of others, so she finds herself being by her lonesome quite often. Not much is known about her aside from the fact that she's quite the student, being smart beyond her years, and she tends to get teased due to the fact that she appears so young, as well as because of her condition.
Background: Born blind, Mai lived with her father-her mother dying shortly after giving birth to her-up until about three years ago, when the man was murdered in a house robbery gone horribly wrong. She lives on her own (unknown to anyone) with her wolf-german shepard hybrid, Yami. She doesn't have any luxuries (TV, cable, ect, ect.) due to a limited income with just trying to keep the water and electric on, along with keeping food in Yami and her mouths. As a result, people see her as sort of the shut in type.
Other: She's blind, takes Yami everywhere with her, and works at the town's bookstore.

Name: Ashton Bryers
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Hair: Short, emo cut with bangs often falling in his eyes. Natural raven black with dyed red streaks
Eyes: Dark navy blue, appearing almost black
Skin: Fair
Height/Build: 6'1, lean, muscular
Piercings/Scars/Tattoos: Has a massive, jagged scar down the center of his chest. Has multiple piercing in his ears, and a few studs on the piece of flesh just below his nose. Has a tattoo cross at the top of his arm by his shoulder with 'Emmalee' scribed in elegant writing across it.
Personality: Is primarily closed off, with an explosive temper-often triggered by the simplest things-that can easily turn violent. He has a tendency to insult those around him, and has an extremely hard time being social and expressing himself. However, if by chance someone is able to get through to him, he possesses a surprising soft side to him.
Background: His parents died when he was thirteen months, leaving him in the care of his older brother Marcus. He was rarely paid attention to, and had multiple death experiences growing up because of this. It didn't help that his brother was a drunk, and often beat him in his alcoholic daze. The only thing that got him through his life was Emmalee, his best friend/little sister that Marcus had decided to take in after finding her outside his regular coffee pit-stop. She had a condition that left her paralyzed from the waist down, but that didn't seem to stop her. She was outgoing, fun, and just as sweet as they get. She wormed her way into Ashton's heart, being the only thing to make his true potential shine. They did everything together, were inseparable, and Ashton soon found himself falling in love with her. But...everything turned upside down when it was revealed that Marcus had been raping Emmalee. His brother was sentenced to 25 years in prison, but that did nothing to stop the damaged that had been inflicted upon the two left behind. Emmalee's health was rapidly fading, and she was in and out of the hospital-both psyche ward and emergency room-which lead Ashton to begin reverting to a cold, hard, antisocial once more. She died two years ago...and now he lives alone in the same house of horrors, doing nothing but drinking away her memory and working as a carpenter in the neighborhood.
Other: Smokes, drinks, is a pyromaniac, and works as a carpenter
