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!
Have fun looking around, we hope to meet you soon!

Name: Elyna Karson Birthday: September 25th Age: 17 Gender: Female Orientation: Straight Status: Single Play By: Jade Thirlwall
But I ain't tryna hook up with nobody
I took nine shots, I like the way they hit me
Fun Loving- She is always one to enjoy life. She loves to party and explore what life has to offer. She doesn't want to have someone else tell her what do, especially now that she is away in boarding school. In her eyes if someone can't live up to their promises than she doesn't need to hold up to hers and does whatever she pleases. She almost self centered in a way, she is more concerned with her happiness, though if she considers you a friend she will do all that she can to make you feel happy.
Irresponsible- She can hold down a job at the local pizza place like no ones problem, but outside of work her social life and wants are in control. She'll procrastinate homework so she can go to the next party and sleep in and miss class. She already fails her families expectations so she doesn't see a reason to waste away her life on things like classes and homework.
Life of the Party- Once in a party Elyna doesn't care whose watching, she is going to dance and drink and do everything she can to have fun. She will dance and flirt with whoever she wants whenever and is one of the first people to arrive to a party and the last to leave.
Energetic- Whether it's the drugs or coffee fueling her, Elyna is always ready to go and get something done. She goes a mile a minute until finally crashing. Her energy is often seen as positivity.
Avoidant- When it comes to conflicts, Elyna will either explode or just ignore the situation all together. She often resorts to the silent treatment or acts like nothing wrong had happened at all.
I'm in this club and everybody tipsy, yeah
I was gonna take it nice and steady
But now I feel like getting kinda messy
One drink away from saying what's on my mind
Only just a drink away from
Please don't touch me, just keep off me
The youngest of three and the only girl you would think that Elyna would be the apple of her parents eye. Frankly it was the opposite. Her parents focused on her older brothers, wanting to strengthen their education so that they could be successful outside of school and bring honor to their family and carry on their name with pride. Her parents were always watching her brothers while Elyna did whatever she could to get their attention. She would work her hardest on school projects and try to show her parents her straight A report cards, but nothing seemed to work. The constant rejection and lack of love drove the girl to stop caring. The only bright thing in her life was being able to going spend the night at her cousin Scarlets house. The two were nearly inseparable. If there was anyone she could count on it would be her cousin, but they were separated by distance. Both going to different schools and so they developed different interests. Elyna developed an interests in partying once she got older, she figured, if anything this would get her parents attention, but even with her coming home late they didn't seem to notice or care, well, until her grades slipped. Then they seemed to suddenly take notice. Coincidentally at this time both of her brothers had enrolled in colleges far from home. With their main focuses out of sight one would think they would turn their attention back to their daughter who was out acting like an adult with three of her closest friends.
Dont go asking for no favours
I've been nice for long enough but
Now I'm on my worst behaviour
But inside her parents busy work schedules kept them further detached from their daughter, she was able to continue with partying and living off of the money her parents gave her monthly in the form of an allowance. She had a brand new car and always was available to fund parties and shopping sprees until one night, while her parents were gone, she threw a massive party in her family's usual empty mansion. It was her birthday and she wanted to go all out and she did. Elyna drank so much she passed out on one of the couches in the main living room while the party raged around her. Windows and decorations were broken and a fire broke out. It was mass panic and yet Elyna couldn't understand what was going on. She woke up in a daze and choking on smoke. Everyone was focused on saving themselves and she sat there in confusion with smoke in her eyes until sirens wailed in the air and firefighters came, pulling herself and multiple teens from the fire. This got her parents attention. They came down on her in her hospital room, berating her for being irresponsible and an embarrassment. Instead of trying to help their daughter, they decided to send her to boarding school after she recovered and that she would have to make her own money, cutting her off from her allowance and any form of support with the exception of a second hand car. The only upside to coming to this school is that her cousin Scarlet would come with her, even though it meant leaving all of her other friends behind, though even with her old life behind her old habits are hard to break.
