(new)
Name: ChancellorAge: 19
Gender: Male
Appearance: Later?
Personality: Determined, everything a recruit should be, but outside of training he's quite... Resigned.
Position: Recruit
Skills: Driving. Sounds weird, but he can do anything with a car. He's pretty good at hand-to-hand combat as well.
Relationships: Twin sister, Chance.
Other: Don't ask him why his parents named them Chance and Chancellor. That's not their real names, but they had them legally changed when they were young so they could match. Chance and Chancellor were really close.
Name: Chance
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Personality: She immediately jumps to the worst case scenario in every situation, jumpy a little bit, but works to get over that by forcing herself to stay when she feels she should run.
Position: I'm thinking she should be a resistance, but the CIA is trying to recruit her despite the damage she's done.
Skills: Wicked aim, and quite good at getting away. Agile like you wouldn't believe.
Relationships: Chancellor, of course. She doesn't keep in contact with the rest of her family anymore; they'd turn her in out of fear.
Other:
Name: Shannon
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Appearance: Medium length, straight auburn hair with front bangs, large green eyes, long lashes, rosy cheeks, about 5’5", skinny (she’s half starved), ivory skin. (She’s an average looking girl)
Personality: She’s not afraid of anything, she’s been through a lot and thinks she’s seen everything. She has also learned a lot from all of her trials and hardships. She always rushes into things, and she’s not very feminine at all.
Position(Recruit, Trainer, Police, Citizen, Head Honcho, etc...): Recruit
Skills: She is fast and sneaky. (She’s been stealing food for her illegal brother so she has to be.)
Relationships(Family, Friends, etc...): Her mother and illegal brother. Her father died when she turned 16. Her mother was only allowed one child, but she had another one anyway, her little brother. (He’s 5 years younger.)
Other: I think I’ve explained everything I need to right now…
Name: Shawn Matthews
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Appearance: Blond, shaggy hair that’s always in his eyes, light blue eyes with long dark lashes, 5’8”, tan skin, lean and strong. angular jaw bone. I kind of imagine him like Alex Pettyfer only with a softer face.
Personality: He’s the guy everyone loves, romantic, charming, good at everything. He is easily swayed and can change sides in the blink of an eye. He’s kind of shallow and used to getting what he wants.
Position(Recruit, Trainer, Police, Citizen, Head Honcho, etc...): Trainer
Skills: He’s the “spy” specialist. He knows how to be stealthy, the perfect way to kidnap someone, and how to dispose, cleanly, of those who know too much.
Relationships(Family, Friends, etc...): Brother – Jordan and Uncle – Archer Matthews
Other: He’s the “big guy’s” nephew. His own parents died of unknown reasons.
Name: Archer Matthews
Age: 48
Gender: Male
Appearance: Short salt and pepper hair, the same light blue eyes as Shawn, 5’7”, Stocky and still as in shape as ever, angular jawbone, still very handsome
Personality: He’s the big boss guy and really greedy. He’ll get rid of anyone who stands in the way of what he wants.
Position(Recruit, Trainer, Police, Citizen, Head Honcho, etc...): Head Honcho
Skills: Everything basically. He was the best in his class, and thinks he deserves a better reward then babysitter.
Relationships(Family, Friends, etc...): Two Nephews, Jordan and Shawn
Other: He’s the guy who wants to be the ‘President’ and take over the new government.
It's going to be weird to be both Shannon and Shawn because for a while in what I've already written, their love interests...I also have a ton more characters, but these are all I'm going to put up for now.

It's a roleplay based off a book I'm writing. I thought it might be fun to do. Actually, the reason is a little more selfish than that, I got stuck and need idea, or at least to bring my characters to life...
Oh, Ratch, feel free to steal my characters. Anything in this roleplay--unless otherwise specified--is free game for you to use.
Thanks a lot! I like the idea, even if it is a little dystopian cliche...
Really? That's not what I was thinking at all. How so?
Same with me! If anything, charries, ideas, are good enough, feel free to use 'em! I know what it feels to have writing block, I had it once when I was eleven or twelve I think..... And I know that I want as many ideas that I can use (btw I won't use any ideas from here if you don't want me to) and ya. :)
Just the government controls everything type thing. There's the Hunger Games, the Shadow Children series, Matched...
Thanks too Dawn, and you can use ideas from here, but the plots all mine!!

Oh. Well so what if it's been done before? Think of how many magic books there were before Harry Potter. (:
True, and J.K. Rowling is rich now, with a best selling series, both the movies and the books...I like thinking that maybe MY book will be the next Harry Potter!
Yeah, same with me. I have fourteen+ sum books and I can relate them all to a different book...... :P I just make sure the story is different and the charries in the book have personalities that really come to life. Its getting harder. In my school every other person is writing it seems, from poems to short stories to novels. Tho, me and only like two other people will actually go thru to publish. At least I'm trying to get mine published right now... Gah.
That must be crazy trying to publish. I've never done it before, but still from what I've heard...
Actually not a lot of people write at my school, and it's a small school, or they're all closet writers.

Ah, yeah. I just have people who write one or half a chapter then don't know where to go with it..... I don't really get it, writing is so easy and extremely fun! Just.... the publishing part.... Gah!(2nd)
I love writing and it is fun and easy. My problem is that I can't get very far because I keep going back over what I've already written and being all, It's terrible, how did I write that, and then I change it...and then I change it again and get so caught up on the grammar and making it sound PERFECT and I don't just write.
Haha :D do you do longhand? Or type it?
Both, I have stories and ideas on like five different computers (one of which had my longest book and was destroyed by the elements :( ) and like a quadbagillion (that's a real number...maybe...) different notebooks/random pieces of paper.
Yeah. Writing longhand is kinda difficult cuz you gotta put it onto the computer, but if you constantly write longhand then you get your ideas out better, you can expand easier, take everything in and still give out more. I wrote longhand since I was eleven, then when I was fourteen I switched to computer.... Bad mistake. When I was writing longhand I got really good and kept getting better, but once I started typing instead I stopped growing altogether with my mind and the ideas.... I think I could still use the help of getting better, but now I'm just at the stage of boredom block. Writers block is when you don't have ideas, boredom block is my way of saying bluntly that I'm just not up for it, but I have all the ideas, I just can't put them down, can't sit at the computer or piece of paper and actually do it.
That's a good way to put it! Yeah, this story I really like, and have written in a bunch of scenes, but I realized the other day I've been focusing more on the romance part of it (yeah, I am a hopeless romantic) and less on the plot part of it, and I really want to get it developed because I like what I'm starting with.
Yeah. I know exactly what you mean. One of my books has a great plot to it, but I'm overwhelming it with the love part. At this point it's like a first love/crush type thing. It's a medieval setting. The charries are fifteen and seventeen. As the books continue they get older and such and ya, but I really loved the plot, and I know what I want to do with it, but like I said, boredom block, and the love part is starting to look like twilight. GAH!!!!! Anywho. There is one girl and two guys (aren't there always) and the guys are like black and white night and day, one is the really dark silent type and the other is always drunk on sunshine. So to keep it from being like twilight, I'm gonna do it the way it is already, where she likes them both, but the dark one she doesn't really like. She is totally fallen for the sunspot, and the dark has no relation to her that has to do with love, until a certain twist... Hehehehe.....
I love rants! Really, I do, maybe it's cuz I always rant...
Anyway, here's my spill (on this book...)
So there's Shawn and he and Ashley are totally together, and there's Jordan and Lillie who are totally together (Jordan and Shawn are brothers and trainers and Lillie and Ashley are just recruits) So Along comes Shannon and Shawn falls for her and she kind of likes him back, but she's never been in love before so she thinks she loves him. Ashley gets all jealous cuz Shawn dumps her and then Shawn betrays Shannon and Lillie dies (who was like Shannon's best friend) and then Jordan starts hitting on Shannon and she's like whoa back up Lillie just died. Although Jordan has been more her type the whole time...and that's all I got, it has a lot of hole and it sounds way complicated when I actually put it all down. Come to think of it I had another crazy love triangle type thing in another of my books...

And yours is definitely different from twilight. And I think the same love triangle type thing is ok as long as you just don't make it where the girl is obsessed with both guys.
That wouldn't be any fun. :DI really like what you've got so far, it sounds really good! Don't worry, I won't take it, I've got enough on my plate. :)
Haha, good! Yeah I think I have a thing for complicated love triangles...maybe it's cuz I don't want the girl to end up with the guy everyone thought she would, or I want there to be a controversy...I dunno, maybe it's cuz that's what I like to read. Heard of Janette Rallison's My Fair Godmother? It has a really cool love triangle.
Oh, dear. I thought these were all new characters. Imagine my disappointment when I saw twelve unrelated posts. Fine.
They're related, I used my characters names in...some of...the posts!
