Name: Lyss[/color][/center]
Age: 13, but turning 14 in a month!
Previous experience: None, yet, but as I said in the last staff search, me and my friend are currently working on creating our own proboards site, but we haven't made it public yet.
Why should we choose you? I've learned so much about how proboards are made and how to create a successful one by trying to create one with my friend. I understand where and how to fix certain things on the site, and I now know so much more coding then I did before I started creating my proboards site. I love to organize things, not only on sites, but in real life too. If I got a staff position on this site, I would love to do organizing jobs, such as moving threads.
I haven't been here a year yet, but I love this site so much and all the people who are here. I come on here almost everyday and post as much as I can. I know I don't get on the cbox much, but I feel that if I was chosen, I would get on frequently so I could help out new members. I know this site very well now that I could direct members, new and old, to the right places and threads. I don't get angered easily, and I usually have a positive outlook on most things . I like everybody on the site; everybody is really great!^^
I love reading bios of other members, whether it's for fun or because I'd like to have a thread with that character. I've loved to write stories since I was really young, so I feel that I can decide what is enough detail and what isn't. I've always done well in English/grammar classes, and I know it's important to have good grammar to be a staff member so everybody can understand you.
Roleplay Sample:
Rowan Springer
.·.·.·.·.·.·.·.
When all that you've tried, leaves nothing but holes inside,
It seems like you're wired, to stay here held in time,
Cause nothing seems to change, oh no.
No nothing's gonna change, at all.

[/i]He had never saw it coming.
They had been making their journey through the woods, hand in hand. They had been talking about their first kiss, how it wasn't Rowan's first, but it had been Nee's first. She had told him it was her favorite; it had been something special. When she had told him that none of the boys ever liked her, he almost interrupted, wanting to remind her that he had liked her longer than she had probably thought. He had let her continue, though, with her tales of falling hard for boys on several occasions.
It seemed that her questions had triggered it.“So come on, how long are we spending out here? We can’t be romantic runaways forever.”
He was about to tell her he didn't know. They didn't have enough supplies to last them forever. He planned on heading back when their supplies were running low. With his appetite, he knew it wouldn't take long to finish off his stash of food. Suddenly, a hovercraft had appeared over head, out of nowhere. Panicking, he had given Nee all the backpacks as quickly as possible and told her to run. Maybe if she could hide, they would only take him, but it only took five seconds to snatch up Nee. The worst part was that they were so far away from each other in the hovercraft. They bound his hands together in metal cuffs, and that's when Rowan knew how screwed he was.
The hovercraft had most likely been a search one, for it dropped off Nee in her neighborhood and then Rowan in his. For the embarrassment, for the pain, he thought. He kept glancing at his front porch, not being able to hold the image in his head long enough. His parents were propped up on the door frame, their heads titled at dangerous angles. Sunglasses had been laid over their eyes even though it was late at night. He could barely make out his brother, Oliver, in between them. His arms were snaked around his parents bodies, keeping them from falling over. Rowan knew that his parents had been filling themselves to the brim with alcohol earlier, only stopping when sleep overcame them.
Rowan knew Oliver had dragged his parents up to their bed earlier. Lately, Oliver had been so much more of a big brother than he had been. He hoped Oliver had made sure their little sister was still curled up in her bed covers. He didn't want his little sister to see the disgrace he was bringing his family.
Rowan had stopped being careful, taking long glances at his front porch. A Peacekeeper had lashed his whip out, the woven strands slapping hard against his back. The pain he was experiencing now was a pain he had never felt before. It had been too much for him, and he had blacked out.
Rowan had no idea where he was. He could tell it was deep, deep, under the ground. He couldn't see much. He knew that he was in a cell, and that there were some objects in there that seemed to be beds. He saw something big, something lumpy. A companion, perhaps.
Across the hall was another cell, and he could make out the shapes of two bodies. He prayed one was Nee's. At the same time, he prayed on wasn't Nee's. He had a feeling it was somebody in Nee's family that had given out information of their location. Nee was always careful of leaving goodbyes; she was always careful of her words. He knew that she had most likely left her family a descriptive note to make sure they wouldn't be worried, unlike he had.
He knew he shouldn't be mad at Nee, but he was. He tried not to let the tears slip out of his eyes once again, but it was hard for him. He had gone through so much recently that he couldn't bare it anymore. Tears slide down his dirt caked face, making tiny little lines all around his cheeks. He reached to wipe the tears away, when he found his hands cuffed.
He had been struggling to get out of the cuffs since the moment he had awoken. He had been yanking and pulling and struggling to get his wrists out. The cuffs had dug into his skin several times, leaving a plethora of gashes on his wrists. Blood seeped from all of them, making trails on his wrists that were similar to the ones that must be on his face.
Rowan let a moan escape through his barely parted lips. He had no idea why the Peacekeepers had brought him out here. He had only been in the woods once. He had been in there for thirty minutes at the most; there was no reason to imprison him. Of course there had been his drinking, the over-dosing, but that was nothing to arrest him for.
A guard had been walking between the two cells back and forth for what seemed like eternity. He knew Nee had to be in the other cell now. The guard would have been notified that a girl who has wandered into the woods more times than she has fingers has her desperate lover across the narrow hall. He knew there was no way he could communicate with the mysterious figure he assumed was his beloved Nee. All he could do was ball his hands into fists and try to tear his wrists from the wretched cuffs.[/color][/size][/justify][/blockquote]

I can see it in your face, the hope has gone away.
If you hold tight, shadows will be lost in the light.
Oh cause sometimes, fate and your dreams will collide.
