Post by Bri on Aug 29, 2017 0:33:59 GMT -6I just made something unexpected Something sharp   Something new It's not symmetrical or perfect Name: Maya Rivers Gender: Female Birthday: September 15th Age: 15 Orientation: Straight Status: Single Play By: Renee Herbert But it's beautiful and it's mine What else can I do?  I grow rows and rows of roses By the mile I make perfect, practiced poses Outgoing- Maya is a social butterfly. She blends in with the popular crowd and always has a smile on her face, it's what is expected of her. She is friendly towards everyone but at the same time won't befriend just anyone. She doesn't get too nervous about things and doesn't mind being the center of attention. She has the confidence to shine. Perfectionist- Everything about her from the hair to the make up and to the outfit needs to be perfect. She is expected to be the perfect girl and won't leave her room until she has met her own standards. That means she is never seen without a full face of make up-even when working out. Critical- With being so focused on perfection Maya is extremely critical of herself. She always checks her reflection to make sure it is up to her standards and her school work most always be done on time and get the best grades. She can't just be pretty, she has to be smart. She has to go to a top school so slacking isn't an option, although it often feels like she will crack at any minute. Two-Faced- Having portrayed herself a certain way to the people around her and comparing it to who she is when she is away from them and with people like her siblings-who she can be goofy around-Maya considers herself two-faced. Something she isn't proud of. Conceited- Being critical and having to be perfect, Maya isn't blind to her looks. She has confidence in her looks and does love herself. She does check herself in mirrors whenever she comes across them-part of her being critical-but also part of her just taking the time to admire herself and find pride in her looks. So much hides behind my smile What could I do if I just grew what I was feeling in the moment? What could I do if I just knew it didn't need to be perfect?  It just needed to be? And they let me be? I wanna feel the shiver of something new Maya doesn't remember much about her childhood. What she knows is that her parents were drug addicts and left Lewis to raise her and her sister, something she is very thankful for but wouldn't admit. She doesn't remember their time in foster care and she barely knows other members of her family outside of who she was raised with. All she knows is that they weren't willing to help and she despises them for it. Maybe if they had helped her parents would still be alive and she wouldn't be forced into this life of perfection where she must walk a tight rope and follow the strict rules given to her. When her parents had passed away she and her siblings were left in the system as social workers tried to find family to take them in and though they were hesitant at first, they took them. William and his wife bit the bullet. They had the money and the huge house but did they have the gene that made them good parents? Maya would say no. In that house everything had to be perfect-like a magazine. The kids were forced to stay in their rooms, they could only play there and if any toys or mess were found outside of those rooms they were punished. William and Estella wanted perfection and to accomplish this they categorized each child. While Lewis was defined as the athlete, Maya was crowned as the perfect one. I'm so sick of pretty I want something true, don't you?  You just seem like your life's been a dream Since the moment you opened your eyes From the moment they came into that home Estella took Maya under her wing, throwing her into acting and modeling classes for children and dressing her like she was going to be photographed for a magazine and Maya obeyed. She contained her energy-getting mad if she got dirt on her clothes and refusing to go outside unless she was in play clothes. She wanted to please her aunt and uncle, she was determined to be the perfect daughter she was meant to be. She did not speak out, did not argue, followed every single rule and took on every extracurricular. Her future has been planned out. She is going to stay slim and go into an ivy league school where she will get a business agree and will then take over a branch of the family business. There hasn't been any room for her to be herself except for in her head or in her room where she can scribble in her notebooks and indulge herself in practicing the violin-something she hides from her friends. In school her friend group is the popular girls. You know the mean girls in the movies? She's part of that group and though on the inside it makes her feel bad, she conforms to their expectations. She is constantly shopping, going to parties, and doing everything expected of popular girls. She believes that she enjoys this, though there are parts of herself that she keeps hidden from her friends due to fear of ridicule. Maya believes that her sister Sasha is just like her, so much so that she doesn't notice when her friends make fun of Sasha or intentionally leave her out of their get togethers. Maya is easily manipulated by her friends into believing that whenever Sasha does bail it's due to her own choice-not because her friends have bullied her to the point of not wanting to be around them. All I know are the blossoms you grow But it's awesome to see how you rise Family:
Crush:
Friends: Enemies:
How far can I rise? Through the roof, to the skies Let's go!

Welcome to Tidewater!
This is a sandbox style role play that is based in a Southern Californian named Ocean City.
This town is home to a prestigious high school and university that students from all over flock to. The school is home to the best teachers in the state and hosts an eclectic variety of students from all over the world. Students have the option to live on campus and in between classes on the weekend are able to roam the town. There is always some kind of event going on. In this role play you can role play high school students, teachers, college students, and the town residents! We encourage character development and being able to follow your character through different stages of life encourages that.
This town is on the water and offers many events for every season along with the schools offering their own events as well. There are many chances to foster positive relationships between characters but this is a slice of life so drama and enemies are bound to be made!
Also, don't think your secrets are safe because there are those who patrol the tides of gossip and report all the going ons in the town gossip blog. Here everyone’s dirty laundry is presented, it’s up to the characters to believe it and do whatever they want with it.
Our members are funny and brimming with sarcasm, we look forward to our new members so we can add to the student and staff populations while further growing our characters and challenging ourselves in our writing skills. Most of our conversations happen off site in our own chat room, which we have a link posted above in the toggled section, until then if you have any questions go ahead and post them in the CBOX, we will get back to you as soon as possible!
