so, what's the story so far?
joshua wellington was a star in his hometown.
he played almost every sport, he was cast as the lead in the school play, he was the life of every party. there was hardly a soul alive whom he was mean to, and almost everyone knew his name. there were six students in particular who were closest to him, and despite some differences among them all, they would all agree that their high school life wouldn't have been the same if they hadn't met joshua, and they sure as hell wouldn't rhave emained a group of friends for those few years.
when they all graduated and went their separate ways, most of them lost touch. even joshua hadn't been heard from for a while. nearly five years had passed before they all thought of joshua again, and that was only because they'd gotten a call one day, informing them of their high school friend's death.
the news came as a shock to them all. some of them want to just accept it and try to move on, while some of the others think that the reason behind his death seems a little off. in any case, the six friends, once all close to joshua, find themselves coming together again, not just for the funeral, but also to carry out one of joshua's final wishes.
he'd always talked about loving the beach, and his family owned a house near the coast that the group of friends often used during summer break in high school. the six of them, choosing to put past troubles between them all aside for the time being, agree to spend a week at the beach house in memory of joshua.
but after all that time spent apart, all the unresolved issues and feelings from high school seem to be bubbling to the surface, and to add to the tension, there's still an aura of mystery surrounding joshua's death that some of them just can't quite let go of.
a week at that beach house sounds like a recipe for disaster β but at least it's going to be a week none of them will ever forget.
and who are the people involved?
the broken ace
many see him as one of the most popular guys in school. being friends with joshua and captaining the football team was easily what gave him that title. he comes from a rich household which is led only by his father since his mother died many years ago. he's lived with a lot of responsibilty on his shoulders since his father always expected him to grow up and take over the family business (even if there were some dealings involved that were a bit below the belt). he's never really been interested in the family business though β truth be told, he's not really sure what he wants to do with his life because he never had much of a chance to explore his interests outside of sports. he's been raised to believe that having money is the most important thing, so despite hating his father while growing up, he knows his best chances of surviving this world would be to work with him β even if it's turned him into something of a workaholic now. he and his sister, the loose canon, always stood together against their father, so things are a little tense now since he went back on his word and started working for the guy. he is the former boyfriend of the prima donna, though he's not totally happy about how things ultimately ended between them. he and the cultured badass never got along.
role status: open.
the prima donna
she's always been known as the golden girl. great grades, stunning good looks, captain of the cheerleading squad and always walking with purpose. to anyone who looked at her, it seemed like she had everything figured out, and she carried herself with the kind of confidence that wouldn't allow anyone to question that. all it really did, however, was hide the fact that she came from a broken home. she was once very well off because of a father who doted on her, but things changed when her father left the family for someone else who already had a younger daughter. when both him and his new wife died in a tragic accident, she ended up with the fragile butterfly, a step-sister she never asked for, and a perfectionist mother who emotionally abused both of her children because of her own bitterness toward her late husband β even though she was the one who chose to take in the orphaned child that wasn't hers. having to constantly maintain a perfect image to please her mother has turned her into a bit of a bitch, but can you blame her? she and the broken ace have a romantic past and things didn't end too well so there's a lot still left to sort through β including lingering feelings. she and the loose canon have never really gotten along, and it's primarily because she thinks that the sister of her ex-boyfriend had a role to play in their messy break-up.
role status: open.
the cultured badass
trouble seems to follow him wherever he goes. it's not like he asks for it, but he's never been very good at controlling his temper, and he's passionate about certain things. he spent most of his childhood bouncing from one foster home to the other. he never settled anywhere because he always seemed to cause trouble. by the time he entered high school, he'd already built up a reputation for himself, one that caused most people to stay away from him out of fear, but joshua knew there was more to him than his stony exterior. truth be told, he's a fun guy, with interests that would shock people. most that meet him barely give him a chance to let that side of him shine. he struggled for money a lot, and as a result, he's done some things he's not totally proud of, but at that point people had their assumptions of him so he figured, why not prove them right? he's on a different path now though, but he's yet to determine if it's actually helping him or not. the only other person who ever got through to him was the loose canon, but there was something that kept him from pursuing anything further, and ultimately it forced him to stop talking to her altogether. he and the insufferable genius are surprisingly good friends though they're terrible wingmen for each other. he and and the broken ace have some longstanding beef and it probably hasn't helped that the hotshot doesn't think he has any business being around his sister.
role status: open.
the loose canon
for as long as she can remember, she's just been an inconvenience to her father. he's the type of man who loves to be in control and have all the power and she honestly couldn't care less. ever since her mother died, she began to act out and her relationship with her father has been tense ever since because he believes she's just acting out to spite him and tarnish the image he spent years building for himself. ever since she found out that her father's money wasn't all made completely legally, she rebelled against him even more by staying out late and always doing the exact opposite of what she was told. meeting joshua was good for her at the time because she didn't have a lot of friends or people she could trust before that. since she's quick to jump to conclusions though, and largely guided by her emotions, she somehow never stopped causing problems for those around her β whether she intended it or not. it's part of the reason her brother and the prima donna broke up, though she's never particularly liked her anyway since she always thought she was just dating her brother for money and popularity. her best friend for most of high school was the cultured badass and though she harboured a crush on him, her self-esteem took a bit of a blow when they stopped talking. she's not the smartest person around, at least academically, so she was tutored by the insufferable genius a lot, and it was sort of a love-hate relationship.
role status: taken.
the insufferable genius
he's not your average nerd, that's for sure. he's smart and he knows it, and he tends to make sure everyone else knows it too. he won't take insults sitting down, and he doesn't tolerate bullies. of course, his quips and the fact that he has no filter has gotten him in trouble in school many times, but that doesn't really stop him. he used to tutor kids for a little bit of cash on the side, but it wasn't really enough to pay his mother's medical bills, and since he had a deadbeat dad and also had a younger sibling to take care of, he's always felt the need to take charge and make sure his family was always doing okay. his vast amount of knowledge was put to better use when he was with computers, and for a handsome fee, he could find pretty much anything anyone wanted. in a high school full of nosy kids, it was a pretty good business, and joshua happened to be one of his first customers. while most predicted that he'd be the least successful of the group, he's ironically the most successful thanks to an app he recently developed. despite constantly boosting his own ego and making people know how clever he was, the one thing he was never confident with was expressing how he felt for the fragile butterfly. and while he somehow gained the cultured badass as a best friend despite many differences between them, he remains a little intimidated by the prima donna. whether it's true or not, he's been led to believe that she's not very nice to her sister, and that doesn't sit well with him.
role status: open.
the fragile butterfly
she's easily the most quiet one in the group, and many of the other students that looked at them often believed she was out of place among them all, but joshua didn't think so. in fact, he helped break her out of her shell a bit. the truth is, she's always just sort of hung out in her older sister's shadow and she's always felt like an outcast since she isn't biologically related to anyone she's living with. the kind of reputation that the prima donna had was something hard to live up to, and while she was also pressured by her step mother, just like her sister, it affected her differently. for most of her time in high school she dealt with a lot of anxiety and struggled with various insecurities. to everyone else, she was the kind one, the one who wouldn't harm a fly and had an almost infectious smile despite her shy demeanour, but much like her sister, all it did was hide the fact that she always felt like she didn't belong. the only one who made her feel differently for the longest time was the insufferable genius. she and her sister have a rocky relationship, because while she does love her and look up to her, she's unsure if the feeling is returned. she also became friendly the broken ace while he dated her sister since he was always nice to her. the relationship between her and her sister became even more tense when it seemed like she took his side instead of hers after the break-up, even if that wasn't necessarily the case.

what else do i need to know?
01
i think i'm rebooting this rp for... the third time. BUT, it's an idea i love and it's got a plot that i've mapped out quite a bit of so i'm hoping that this time around it'll run more successfully!
02
all rpn rules and regulations apply! along with this, please also keep in mind that this rp will deal with themes such as violence, addiction & cursing, so if these topics don't sit well with you then i'd advice you against joining.
03
roles for this rp are not first come first serve. if i garner enough interest, i'll open a cs thread for you to submit characters for the role that you want, and once the deadline passes, characters best suited to the roles will be selected! ooc, once characters have been selected, will be in a discord server, so keep that in mind before applying.
04
some basic rules β no godmodding, no perfect characters (although, judging by the roles, it's pretty clear none of them are perfect), and please keep all the drama to the rp!
05
in terms of writing, this will be semi casual but detailed. posting speed will be relaxed since i know everyone has lives outside of rpn. in terms of characters, we will be using only realistic face claims! i'd also love to get people that can remain committed, since i intend on running this rp for a while.
i think that's about it, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask! i'll post a sign up thread once (if) this gains enough interest.
p.s, isn't this code so awesome????? my queen uxie made it so go see her talent!!!!
