So my new character Skid is currently awaiting acceptance, and he's got a lot of "siblings". Although it's easier to understand if you read his history (which you probably should do to get a better understanding of the characters' situation), basically the gist of it is these are all former orphanage kids, but when the orphanage was about to be shut down due to bankruptcy the senile old woman who runs it took a handful of the children and ran off with them, changing their names so the authorities can't find them. So they aren't actual blood related siblings - they just pretend they are.
I'd like to have some other members create the five other McConnell kids, so that I actually have some sort of incentive to RP with Skid. I'd prefer it if you have some sort of RP experience, and be at least a moderate level RPer - just be able to post consistently a couple hundred to a thousand quality posts, please. Other than that I'm not picky^^
Here's a brief description of each of the siblings - other than the brief things specified here, the character is left up to the creator's discretion^^Hornet McConnellTaken by South - (FC Grace Phipps, 17 years old) Hornet is basically Skid's partner in crime; she's sneaky and cunning and not particularly ladylike, unafraid of getting down and dirty to get what she needs. She has a knack for sarcasm and a bit of a temper when provoked - or even sometimes when not. Though she's incredibly street smart, her book smarts are extremely lacking; even reading simple passages gives her trouble, and her handwriting is about as neat as a nine-year-old's. To bring some sort of money in for her family, she's resorted to prostitution more than once; absolutely no one knows this, however, not even Skid, and she's not keen on anyone finding out.Wheels McConnellTaken by Aya - (FC Freddie Highmore, 15 years old) Although rather small and scrawny for his age, Wheels is by far the smartest of the bunch. No one knows where these smarts came from - perhaps his birth parents had been extremely intelligent, but seeing as they dropped him on the doorstep of the orphanage when he was only five months old, there was no way of knowing. He loves to read, so his two older siblings often bring him back stolen books - he wouldn't dare go out and get them himself, for he's particularly awkward in social situations. Confrontation is definitely not his forte.Kit McConnellTaken by Danny- (FC Abbie Cobb, 14 years old) True to her district industry, Kit aspires to one day work with fashion, which might be possible if she weren't a stolen orphan in hiding. She's got a knack for sewing, knitting, and embroidery due to her extreme patience and meticulous working nature. In addition to this, she's got a genuine motherly nature, particularly when it comes to her littlest foster sibling, Bird - in short, Kit is quite the polar opposite of her elder sister, Hornet. She's the calm, rational sister that often holds the dysfunctional family together when nothing else can.Sparky McConnellTaken by Nofo - (FC Dakota Goyo, 13 years old) Sparky's got more energy than he knows what to do with due to a mild case of ADHD - because of this, staying inside is difficult for him, so more often than not this young teenager is found running around outside in the street, playing some sort of sport with whatever kids his age he can find. He's the friendliest McConnell by far, and the most carefree, but he isn't stupid; he's old enough to know that he has to watch what he says around other people, or things could go horribly wrong. He tends to get angry easily, and is easily provoked.Bird McConnellTaken by Steffenee - (FC Lara Robinson, 12 years old) Since she remembers nothing before her life as a McConnell, little Bird has an immense fear of strangers. She's skittish and shy and hardly says a word to anyone who isn't from home; her siblings, particularly Kit, watch over her carefully because of this. Bird's knack for dancing became apparent when she was very young; the small, skinny adolescent can move with grace and poise and loves to twirl around the run-down apartment; when she's dancing she feels free, as opposed to confined by her fear and crippling shyness.
So that's them^^ Feel free to take whatever liberties you want with them, as long as you stick somewhat to those outlines xD If you're interested in creating/playing one, then just say here and give me an RP sample, maybe?^^ It's NOT going to be first come first serve, so if you like one of them but someone else was interested, you can still say so and I'll pick who I think is best. Thanks!
