plot it up, guys. i love torturing putting my characters in awkward and humiliating new and interesting scenarios and i'm basically open to anything you can dream up. shyness not allowed.


this is gala. she's always been kind of a stone-hearted, conceited, (but lyk, totally hawt) bitch. she was left in saffron all alone by her husband parker, the only person she was ever really close to, so she's kind of like a lost puppydog right now. an angry lost puppydog. with rabies. her temper is at its all time worst, she's sad when she's alone, and she's only happy when she's drunkenly playing the guitar in her home, alone. someone do something about her, yes?

goals for gala//
• catfight: it's bound to happen, right?
• non-committal one-night-something: she just lost a husband, she's upset, all that's needed is some vodka and a pretty boy.
• stormy weather: gala's drop-dead terrified of thunder/lightning, so it would be awesome if she were stuck somewhere with someone during one. the humility!
• get a job: seriously, i don't know how she's going to pay for her house if i don't find one for her soon. if anyone's got an opening...
• make some friends: she really needs some. REALLY. even just one friend.
• make some enemies: another bound to happen.
• spill sorrows: get drunk and spill her depressing, angsty, angry life story to someone.
• from way up here: she's terrified of heights. need i say more?

this is penelope. she's a blacksmith and a miner and pretty friggin' buff for a girl, which she totally hates. she was raised by all-male influences so she acts a lot like one (fails at talking about feelings, won't ask for directions, etc.). secretly, she's in love with stuffed animals, frills, and anything and everything cute, but since she has always been considered "one of the guys", she doesn't feel like she can admit that to anyone.

goals for penelope//
• bar fight: she's manly, she's burly, she's tough. getting in a bar fight (preferably with a guy) would be super fun (for us rpers).
• arachnophobia: penelope's deathly afraid of spiders. she won't admit this to anyone and she won't show it around anyone either, so walk in on her shrieking an stuff -- will be fun.
• mining incidents: could be a cave-in, getting stuck in a cave for the night for whatever reason, etc. etc.
• best fraanz: she needs to meet more people. girl friends and guy friends alike, though i'm hoping to get more guy friends to plop her into their "one of the guys" friend zone type thing.
• enemies?: if anyone hates masculine tomboyish girls, then be my guest.
• a crush: penelope's never actually had a boyfriend. her childhood crush lasted her until she moved away from home so it would be fun to see her be all fumbly around a guy. not like a huge almost-love crush, but a sort of OHEMGEE THAT GUY IS NICE AND CUTE AND EEE sort of crush -- it won't last forever and you don't have to make any commitments, i promise.
• ee, the horror: she hates horror movies/spooky/ethereal things, so if someone (a future friend, maybe) convinced her to watch a scary movie or go into the witch's house in the woods... yeah, i love exploiting my characters' fears.
• got an idea?: let me know, we'll make it happen.

this is elijah. he's super smart and logical and mathematical and was once a a big/mean/powerful banker figure in his old city. his history is tl;dr so in short: shit happened, he wasn't happy, was afraid that being successful would never make him happy, ran away from his materialistically perfect life and has come to saffron to hide. now, he makes peace as a lazy, lackadaisical and even seemingly naive and ditzy "retired" man. he likes to act dumb and spacey and talk about unimportant things because he fully believes that ignorance is bliss and that is exactly what he wants.

goals for elijah//
• new hobbies: the guy can only run around and sleep for so long.
• bonfire party: this may have to wait until summer, but elijah is totally the guy who would try to throw a hugeass bonfire party with marshmallows and alcohol and chocolate.
• get attacked by an animal: because they hate him. all of them.
• raccoon encounter: he's got this awful fear of raccoons, so walking home (or to the bar, whatever) one night and running into one? all hell breakin' loose. done! willing to do more in the future, though.
• friends: bunches and bunches of friends. he's super nice, super easygoing, and never gets angry -- how could you resist?
• people who don't respect him: elijah doesn't really show hate for anyone, but i can see a handful of people looking down on him for his inactive lifestyle.
• one-sided dislike: he's trying to turn a new leaf and be a naive, nice guy so the last thing elijah wants to do is make enemies. that means he'll (try to) suck it up no matter how annoying you are -- could be interesting.
• pretty gals: part of a laid-back lifestyle is freely messing around with women now and then, no?
• dying dreams: someone, preferably a future close friend, could witness him having one of his dramatic dying dreams. could make for a deeper roleplay.
• his past: should be revealed to friends or something eventually (meaning, sometime far, faaar into the future).

this is leo. he always has a half-frown on his face and people often fall into thinking that he doesn't like them. this is untrue. the fact of the matter is, he is just constantly bored. he has a bland-as-dirt job, no incredible feature of which he can see, and he basically doesn't feel like there's any excitement in his life. though he isn't a pushover by any means, his "i don't care" mentality leads leo to basically going with whatever people want. you wanna be friends? start a band? date? cool. anything goes.

goals for leo//
• new job: he's a mailman -- the most unexciting "profession" on the island. one day, i want him to grow out of this.
• clowning around: i don't know where a clown can be found on the island, but leo is one of those few with an unnecessary fear of them. and i love to expose my characters' fears, buahahha.
• sisters: he has three very girly, very horrifying sisters. i would love for them to visit sometime and have threads where they pester him and the other islanders.
• date misunderstandings: if a girl were to ask leo on a date, he'd say yes. if she asked if they wanted to make the title "official"? yes again -- he's a bit of a yes man and that can cause some awkward tension when it's all found out.
• friends: leo needs pals. he's a good guy to be around and he never really dislikes anyone, so.
• people that don't like him: there are bond to be a few scattered throughout the island.

this zuleika. she was born on saffron island but was a rebellious, stupid, and trouble-making 15-year-old and ended up running away with an older guy. five years later. she's still as dumb-witted as she always was, still impulsive, but much more crude and informal. she's a good person at heart and naturally accepts and gets along with everyone, though i doubt all the villagers' are going to share her perspective seeing as she's kind of out there.

goals for zuzu//
• last cig: she smokes, but she's jobless, broke, and homeless so she's bound to run out. perhaps another fellow saffron smoker will care to help her out?
• bees!: her biggest fear, though it's pretty irrational as she's never had a bad encounter with them. will be fun to have her freak out sometime.
• we party everyday: no job, no home, she's basically what we in today's world would call a "f#ck up". her solution? get drunk. go party.
• washing up: while she's still homeless, i really want her to take a bath at the hot springs while drying her clothes on the tree limbs. could be fun.
• one-sided friendships: although zuleika isn't exactly pushy, she does her best to make everyone feel accepted. i can see her liking someone who isn't much interested in her.
• disrespect: i'm expecting that she'll be judged for her way of dressing/talking.
• pals: cuz everyone needs 'em!
• pretty boys: crushes, flings, drunken decisions, throw 'em at me. zu's got no sense of personal space or awkwardness.
• old friends/enemies: people who grew up on saffron island -- definitely hit me up to plot with whether they would've gotten along or not!

cherry popped.

jason & gala

because i found their earlier interaction to be hilarious xD i think he'd probably annoy her, being the whole pushy, egotistical, grinning jerk he is. with his casual attitude about everything, i can see him pissing her off if they were ever stuck together. obviously gala's a very pretty lady as well, so i can see jason shamelessly flirting with her, despite whatever attitude she has towards him. and, um, i dunno what else to say. thoughts?

ella & gala

ella, being the nosy girl she is, would probably find gala to be like, one of those tragic romantic heroines and all. i don't know if gala's romantic history is common knowledge, but either way ella would probably want to bring some romantic spark to this bitter, angry young woman (her opinion). ella would probably either end up bugging the crap out of gala, or they could become friends in some twisted, mixed up sort of way? idk.

tristan & penelope

so i think these two could potentially get along. tristan's a pretty friendly guy in general. he also kind of makes it a point to know everyone, since he's the police officer here on saffron. while he's not the best with strangers, i can see him taking a liking to penelope. he'd probably think of her as a strong, independent woman. and... as one of the guys (it was going to happen). i think it'd be funny to see them get drunk together since tristan's a lightweight... but um, yeah.

d'oh, nala. i wouldn't have wanted to give it up to anyone else <3

gala + jason

YES. i'm so sad that we never got to finish that thread in that creepy ass house, but it was definitely super amusing while it was alive. i would love to see these two interact again. as far as specific ideas go, i can see gala temporarily using him (and v0dk@) to drown her sorrows/romantic blues. they don't have to do anything super serious if you're not up for it, but it might make for a funny/awkward hangover thread. buuut if that sounds kind of eh, i'm still down to just throw them together in a topic and see how it turns out.

gala + ella

this idea rocks of my socks off. anddd i've never actually thought about whether the townsfolk would have noticed what had happened with her, but i could totally make a rumors thread for that (always wanted to do one of those >__>). i can definitely see ella bugging gala to the point where she just gives up and is like "FINE i'll tolerate you." or something, and that would make for a cute/strange friendship. would be amusing to see ella try to "fix" gala's romantic issues. plus their names sound good together, galaellagalaellaellagala.

penelope + tristan

YES, a dudefriend. skimmed over his profile and he definitely seems like someone who pen would get along with. she would have a good amount of respect for him for being hardworking and such, and i can see them going jogging together or something since they both gotta be in shape. plus he can spill all his sorrows about victoria to her.

ANYWAYS. i loved all your ideas and every single one of these pairs sound fun to me. do you have a preference for any specific thread you'd want first?

asdfghjkl so, major approval to all of that C: i'm i'm glad i got to share such a special moment with you, hur hur um, in terms of threads, i'm fine with whatever but i'd saaaaay... go with gala + jason first? jason's not in any threads lonely bugger, so, um yeah.

:black:/:green:Gala & Yvonne: Yvonne and Gala are like whiskey and a lit match when together. Whether it's a glare, a hiss, claw swipe, or Gala making up a song at 10 at night outside of Daybreak singing at the top of her drunken lungs about how much of a bitch Yvonne is. The two are like the hell raiser version of Thelma and Louise. But despite their oil and water differences there is one thing they can BOTH agree on and that is MEN SUCK. The girls can be found crossing to the opposite side of the street to avoid walking on the same one the other is OR sitting together laughing while getting smashed at the bar or out in the forest while Gala plays her guitar and the two become a set of birds that sound like they need put out of their misery. Before cussing out each other when they wake up at the crack of dawn in a misty cow field on their backs staring at the sky before stumbling home swearing that they'll never drink again but make plans for the following Saturday night.

stormy weather Can totally see Gala getting stuck out in the storm before darting into either Yvonne's house, or the shop. Their bitter tongues causing the fear to ebb slightly as they are placed in the most impossible friendly position while sober.


:green:Penelope & Yvonne: Penny could easily get with Yvonne as a part time employee as Yvonne teaches her how to make pretty dresses and what looks good on her so she feels more feminine. Yvonne could even ask for Penny to make small buttons for her with her black smith skills. They could get along really well for girl talk and Yvonne teaching her how to become a girl without losing herself into changing who she is.

And I can also see Yvonne being the one getting Penny drunk at the bar slightly and then she see's what she thought was a spider and panics. You see her grab the nearest thing to kill it with which is Travis. Who is get picked up over top of her head in this bar fight with a non existent spider and nearly throws him before she topples backwards and lands with him on top of her like a +. Something funny that would leave Yvonne staring and Gala cackling about it.


:purple:/:blue:Eli & Yvonne: Retired at 24?! Yvonne looks over at Eli with a flat stare. Something isn't right in Saffron with that statement. Yvonne has a clue that the young retiree is hiding out on the island, the way he acts a dead give away that something deeper lurks behind his lofty goofball presence. He's hiding something, much like herself, making them two peas in a pod. They can stand on that pier looking out at the sea and know the trouble and turmoil they left behind on the other side of it and hope that it stays there. Friends, crutches, fellow runners from their pasts and card buddies when it comes to a game in the bar. Can see Eli working for Yvonne as delivery man when he's desperate for some coin.

gala + yvonne

ohmigod yes. i can definitely picture a very strange friendship forming between the two. like they hate each other, but at the same time they love each other. because gala's a bitch and that's probably the best sort of friendship she can afford. i don't know how vocal gala is about the fact that parker left her (i mean, she's kind of a prideful thing) so it may take a while for her to admit THAT, but... she doesn't really hate all guys? it's more like, she hates all people but especially parker 'cause he ditched her. but since she IS so full of hate, she would definitely join yvonne in parading around about how much men suck, and maybe harass some of the local residents? ;]

penelope + yvonne

hrmm... that's a cute idea, but penelope already has a full-time job. with mining and blacksmithing, there isn't too much time leftover to sew buttons and such. but i do like the idea of yvonne trying to help her achieve a more feminine self, though it would take penelope a longggg time to fully break apart from the mindset that she'll always be seen as "one of the guys". i can also see penelope being intimidated by yvonne at first because she seems so fashionable or something, and maybe having a sort of "friend crush"~

elijah + yvonne

to be completely honest, i don't want anyone finding out anything about elijah's past for a while. i really want to develop him as a character before anything more is revealed about him >__<; plus, i'd like to think that he has a convincing (but naive-sounding) way of talking so it wouldn't sound too suspicious. BUT i will totally take you up on the part-time delivery thing because eventually, he will probably need a way to get more money. before that happens, though, i'm definitely down for him and yvonne having drinks and playing cards and just being overall buddies c:

also, just going to announce (even though it's totally obvious now, but i just want to announce it ok don'tjudgeme) that...

Kiran and Elijah

BFFS. No, really. They're both easy-going and Kiran is pretty unassuming, so I think they could be friends. :D

Elaina and Gala

If you ever want to fufill that catfight. I think they'd just hate each other, both being powerful bitchy women xD Plus Elaina is palsies with Penelope so we should have characters that hate each other. xD

Gabe and gala

They could have the interesting relationship of people who were recently left by someone they loved. Gabe's wife divorced him to go see the world so even though Gala isn't nice, I think Gabe would totally get where she's coming from and be more patient. xP

holy crap, pandy! i totally did not see that post until last night >__<; i'm so sorry. i wasn't ignoring it or anything.

elijah + kiran

yes! elijah needs some male buds and kiran seems to fit the bill quite nicely. let's have them meet sometime, definitely.

gala + elaina

this sounds fun, definitely. i don't know if they should be drunk for it or not, but either way i can see them getting into a pretty heated fight (probably over nothing). so long as you wouldn't mind elaina getting a bit scratched up? you can eff gala up as much as you want, lawl~

gala + gabe

yes, PLEASE. i need people who might get along with gala to some extent, even if it's bonding over something like that >__>; maybe she could get drunk (why is this where all my ideas go, wtf) one night and bump into him, thus ends up spilling her sorrows? 'cause i can't imagine her telling anyone straight out in a normal state of mind.

also just going to stick this here~

penelope + kiran

they've got a thread/rp/thing going on at the flower festival right now and though it hasn't gotten very far, penelope feels kind of intimidated with him. 'cause he's elaina's brother so she feels the need to win his approval? something like that. so it could be fun to stick the three together in a group sometime and rp that. also, kiran is a pretty attractive guy -- and nice, too, so i can picture penelope sort of developing a puppy crush on him. not anything serious, but just kind of like something that spans a few rps before she realizes he's homie.

let me know if you're interested~ don't hesitate to drop me a pm to discuss more ideas and such.


ALSO GUYS, leo has been added to the list. I REALLY WANT HIM TO MAKE FRIENDS AND MEET PEOPLE. most of those he'd met on the island before my absence poofed, so now it's like... he doesn't know anyone. and it sucks.

I HAVE FOUND THE SUPER SECRET PLOTS!


Jareth & Gala

So, I think it would be awesome if Jareth is Gala's friend, but the only time they're friends is when they're both at the bar and she just sits next to him, gets drunk and just starts to gush to him. He'd be all like, omfgthehell!? And whenever he saw her sober he'd probably be totally unable to speak at all, if she even remembers talking to him that is! xD

Bonnie & Gala

They can be drunk buddies, they may or may not have the potential to get along sober, I'm still unsure about that. But I can see them both being at the bar, getting plastered and bitching about men.

Jareth & Penelope

I love Pen, but I'm unsure how these two would get along, we should thread them sometime to see what happens! :D

Bonnie & Penelope

Oh, Bo so wants to find out about Pen's girly habits, because she'd totally extort it and try to make her get girly. Bo's not afraid of tough women, Colette Laroque is her bff and she's been punched by her before. She would totally try to con the two into letting her give them makeovers and all that girly crap. Also, idky, but they should play softball together.

Bonnie & Elijah

Totally one of my favorite guy names ever. OFF TOPIC. They can be FRANZ? IDK. But she'd probably totally find him hot and love his easy-going attitude. She'd probably flip shit if she ever found out he was pretending to be someone he was not, nothing makes her more angry than that. But Bonfire party on the beach, Bo's totally down for that! NEEDS TO HAPPEN!

Bonnie & Leo

They need to prank shit up, just needs to happen. They can get arrested together. FUNSHIT. They should also have like this, prank war going on, to see who can prank the other the best. Also, Bo would totally love his sisters, she grew up with three older sisters so she knows the feeling, though she's the hellion out of all three of them. CHAOS ENSUES.

BUAHAHA WELCOME TO MY LAIR 8D

gala + jareth

hahaha, i really like this idea! gala has been getting drunk a LOT (or at least, its been implied) lately so it would work out. would be hilarious if the first few times they met she was drunk and happy and nice, and then one day she's sober and she's all crankybitchwhut. poor jareth, but it sounds like it would be an interesting thing to do if you're interested~

gala + bonnie

yeah, i feel like just depending on the flow of the thread they could either become awesome budz or just like... hate each other. but either way, it would be fun to thread with them sometime and just see how it goes!

penelope + jareth

that sounds good to me! i'm wondering how jareth would react to penelope (like whether he would feel shy or not) since she's really not the image of femininity and beauty. i can see them getting along though, personality-wise, if he isn't. anddd i'm sure we could find some interesting thing to shove into a thread to make it exciting >D

penelope + bonnie

OMG YES, penelope totally needs this. i've been hoping that someone will take her and try to shove her into dresses and stuff and make her feel all awkward and exposed. so um... not much more to say but IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

elijah + bonnie

OMG YES SOMEONE TO DO THE BONFIRE WITH ME I LOVE YOU. also, i love the name elijah too i hope no one looks at it and just thinks of elijah wood >__>; but anyways, hellyes, they need to get together and it somehow needs to be mentioned and they will DO IT >D and if they end up becoming close friends and she finds out how fake he is (for lack of a better word~) it would make for some interesting dynamic and tension.

leo + bonnie

pranksters, yeeeayy <3 i really want one of my characters to be arrested AT LEAST ONCE, and if they've got a partner to go down with them? -- just that much better. they will tear this town apart >D

so basically, all of the ideas are awesome and i want to do them ALL. let me know which idea you want to do first and we'll get a thread started and all that jazz <3

Agh! So many different choices! THEY ALL SOUND SO AWESOME I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE TO CHOOOOOOSE! Drunk!Gala and Jareth sounds like it'll be fun, also wouldn't mind doing something with Eli & Bonnie! <3

fssskshh i have way too many threads going on right now, BUT when they start clearing up we're going to do one of those >D preferably eli and bonnie because they need to throw a bonfire party while it's still summer -- ff yeah.

ALSO added my latest character, zuleika, to the plot page. shamelessly plugging here and stuff, k bye.
