HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Or not.
Or not.
In District 9 there is a group of children with the most peculiar names. The children are rather queer themselves, doing the strangest things that no one understands. Their obsessions are well known in the District, and their names just make them weirder. They live together in a little house at the edge of the District. The house isn’t the prettiest thing, but the younger ones try to make it look better. They spend many nights without food, but the older ones work to bring it home. They work together to keep eachother alive. If one went missing, they’d probably fall apart. No matter how much they hate on eachother, or even just annoy eachother like normal people, they still know they have to stay together. What happens if they ever do fall apart? Well first the younger ones would begin to fall apart. Once the younger ones were gone the older children would evenually get too fed up and leave. So they do stay together. Why starve when you can count on someone else to help you get that food? Why sleep on the street if there is a bed waiting for you? Why should you have no friends in the world, if there are plenty just waiting for you to come home. Well, there is no reason. So they do stay, always.
The children are named after ancient holidays, but they, nor their parents, nor do their great grandparents know that. “It’s a nice name” they would say, and use it. Each has taken on the personality relative to their holiday without noticing, and it’s a very interesting outcome. Once the family was gone, they had only themselves and the people who were willing to take them to that house. That house were their lives continued.
*Note: This isn’t meant to offend anyone who celebrates any of these holidays, merely for the purpose of a fun RP.
*Note #2: Yes, many of the holidays have had changed meanings, but it’s assume din Panem they have no specified religion, so the “true meaning” of Christmas couldn’t be used, the “true meaning” of Easter couldn’t be used, and to tell you the truth Bastille Day was pretty difficult. Nonetheless, I was trying to use holidays from as many countries as possible. Yes I know the plot is a bit big. I obsessed over it since I was working on it for quite a while. .-.
*Note #3: They came together two years ago, so subtract 2 years from their age for the age they were when they met.
~Characters~
[/size]Year Newton – Age 19 – Open – Male – Year is the oldest of the friends, and not quite a child. His holiday is New Year’s. He thoroughly believes he can correct anyone and anything, and encourages people to change their dirty habits. He likes parties, and can often be found sneaking away from the house to go sneak into some random party. Only the older members of the house know where he is going, the younger ones just don’t have a clue.
Christmas Mistletoe – Age 18 – Sher – Female – Christmas is a very considerate person. She is always trying to give things to her friends, or trying to help out. Sometimes it goes a bit insane and she over-tries helping, but she is the type of person to always bring a bit of joy to their hearts. She loves telling stories and doing everything she can to make people smile. Her holiday is Christmas.
Bastille Eiffel – Age 17 – Open – Male – Bastille is a very rebellious boy, well, when it comes to the capitol. He isn’t actually very rebellious around his home, only around peacekeepers and whatnot. He doesn’t find the idea of Avoxes or anything of the sort very fair at all. He actually prefers to be very quiet, and listen to what other people have to say. His holiday is Bastille Day.
Midsummer Long – Age 16 – nofo – Female – Midsummer is referred to as Summer by nearly everyone. She, as you can tell, loves the nice heat in summer, and to play around outside. She believes fairies are real, and witches to. She is very superstitious, even creating her own superstitions from time to time. She is very imaginative. She loves roses, especially ones found near the end of spring, or the beginning to middle of summer. Her holiday is Midsummer’s Day.
Saint Alling – Age 15 – Open - Male – Saint goes by Sam, and is very respectful of his elders. He is a bit like Christmas in the way he is kind, but he is a double-sided boy. To people he thinks he can trust, he is very sweet and honest. To the people not, he is much like a nightmare. He can be nearly any personality, depending on the personality of the person he is talking to. Sometimes he can be a bit judgmental. He has a crush on Summer, and wonders if she likes him back. His holiday Is All Saints Day.
Teacher Brooke – Age 14 – Open – Female – Teacher probably has the strangest name of them all, being called after a Teacher. She lives up to that name, as well. She is a genius, and very cunning as well. She is very good at explaining things, inventing, or discovering new things. She helps all her friends with their homework if they need it, and is very much appreciated by others. Her holiday is Teacher’s Appreciation Day.
Halloween Ghost – Age 13 – Open – Male – Halloween is just as superstitious as Summer. He has a different imagination though. Wild, yes, but different. He imagines ghosts and goblins, vampires and monsters everywhere. He isn’t scared of them though, he loves to talk about them and tell scary stories. He’s a bit of a trickster, and love splaying pranks. He’s bit hard to calm down when he’s really in the mood to scare people. His holiday is Halloween.
Maya Cinco – Age 12 – Open – Female – Maya is constantly reminding people of the time she kicked someone’s (a 14-year-old’s) butt. She likes retelling how she managed to get away from the girl, who was trying to steal her food. It was very brave of her. In general, Maya is very brave, and good at taking care of herself. She’s stronger than you’d think of a 12-year-old, but her parents had wanted her in the Games before they died. Her holiday is Cinco de Mayo.
Valentine Heart – Age 11 – Open – Female – Valentine goes by Val. She is a bit of a hopeless romantic, always getting a crush on a different person. Almost every week it changes, and she is much like a confused preteen. Well – she is a preteen. She likes talking about who likes who, or wondering about who she’ll marry and what he’ll be like. Her hormones are a bit serious. Her holiday is Valentine’s Day.
Child Velazquez – Age 10 – Toni – Male – Probably the feistiest of all the people in the house, Child hates the way he is treated like a little boy. His name doesn’t help much, and he wonder what the heck his parents were thinking. Nonetheless, he is still attached to the people in the house. The older ones he likes talking to, and the younger he likes making feel happier. Sometimes he himself needs help feeling happy, because it isn’t hard to make him angry or snappy. He often must be reminded by Year or Christmas to watch his tongue. His holiday is Children’s Day.
Earth Greene – Age 9 – Open – Male – Earth is an outdoor enthusiast. He loves going outside and planting food or plants, or just growing anything. He hates wasting and tries to reuse whatever he can. He’s a very sweet boy, but a bit obsessive. His holiday is Earth Day.
April Fool – Age 8 – RESERVED FOR TIMTAB – Female – April loves bonding with Halloween in pranks. She is quite the trickster like him, and adores surprising people or hiding things that make them go insane. She is very sly and cunning, very capable of doing things on her own. She is very good at hiding as well. Her holiday is April Fool’s Day.
Easter Rabbit – Age 7 – Sarella – Female – Easter is very nice, and likes listening to people. Easter is very good at finding lost things, and helping people to get over their problems. She doesn’t care she’s looked at as the youngest in the house, but rather thinks of it as a way for people to trust her so she can help them. She is sweet beyond her years, but still naturally going with that well-known childhood innocence. Her holiday is Easter.[/blockquote][/justify][/size]
