Realistic or Modern Hollywood (1986) Character Sheets

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop to look around once in a while, you could miss it."
A Slice of Life RP
About
A laid back slice of life RP, inspired by a plenty of 80's media, but mostly akin to Netflix's Glow/Hollywood but set in the 1980's. We look at the lives of a group of young people, who aspire to be something in the glamorous world of Hollywood. We follow their journey, struggles and ambitions, and see how their lives interconnect with one another. This will mostly be a character, story driven rp, without any strict linear story line but mostly dependent on character development and the interaction between characters and the world. The rp will be set around a number of key places in LA, and probably one area where the players will gather at some point in the story. (A party/event perhaps?) For now that's the gist of the rp, I will probably add more details and plots in the future.
Roles
I wont be too nitpicky on the roles, though I'd prefer having a variety of careers, personalities and aspirations. A wide eyed musician from a small town, an overpriveledged actor/actress, an overzealous wrestler, a discreet part time porn star or a contemplative screenwriter. Just to name a few examples. But mostly, I'd prefer to leave everything to the player's creative freedom!
Rules
- Follow RPN rules
- I am quite nit picky on face claims. To have the full 80's experience, and maybe add a little twist to this rp, I will only allow realistic FC's from 80's 90's.
-RP may contain mature content.
-Respect other players. IC drama is the only kind of drama allowed.
-A minimum of 2 paragraph post per week, ideally.
-IC and OOC will be on discord.
-Just to make sure you've read all the rules, what is your favorite 80's/90's movie? Post your answer in the Others section.


Character Sheets

Also, please make sure to read the rules first and foremost!

(insert a realistic image. FC should be a celebrity/model/person from the 80's/90's.)

Joey. ❞

Drama is life with the dull bits cut out.​
❝ cursory information. ❞

full name— Joseph DeLuca.

nickname(s)— Joey, Jo.
age— 23.
gender— Male.
birthdate— December 2.
hometown— New York.
sexuality— Bisexual.
occupation— Freelance Photographer/Videographer.

❝ visage. ❞

height— 5'11.

hair— Brown.
eyes— Green.
dist features— Piercing almond shaped eyes, generally laid back disposition.
build— Swimmer's Physique.
face claim— Morten Harket.

❝ psyche. ❞

vices— Smoker. Indulging. Womanizer. Liar/sarcastic. Distrustful.

virtues— Wanderlust. Creative. Ambitious. People' person. Resourceful.

fatal flaw— His extreme distrust for others, despite his seemingly open and friendly attitude. He would lie about things he wouldnt want others to find out especially about himself and his past. Therefore he has difficulty in letting others in.

happiest memory—The moment he left his destructive life in New York., and the moment he felt the excitement for his new life. Being a blank slate he felt like he could be anyone he wanted to be.

a secret— One of the many reasons he ran away is because of his abusive father. Joey is als, by law, legally married.


❝ background. ❞


Joey grew up in a rather, problematic household. His father being a abusive, alcoholic deadbeat, his family struggled with poverty in the harsh concrete jungles of new york. With his mother struggled to work as a clerk in a laundry shop, the family has barely enough to get by let alone support all 6 brothers. Joey never had positive role model growing up, and struggled to maintain betterment in his life. He hung out with the wrong crown, did petty crimes, and overall became a chaotic and unruly young man with no real and positive direction in his life.

His passion for movies was the only good thing that kept him grounded. In a way it became the light that guided him out of that dark place. He secretly recorded rolls on his spare time; at school, in the streets or just behind their yard. He had the ability to mold something amazing out of the films that he would record.

During his highschool years, (which he dropped out a year after this event.) He became involved with a girl. They say love tends to make people do spontaneous things, yet in this case, it could only be the thrill and excitement of it, specially something that is young and naive. After few weeks of dating they both ran away and decided to marry in a church, just after 3 weeks of marrying. Of course the marriage didnt last as their vows would tell them otherwise, and Joey as quickly as he made his mind up to marry, had found someone new. And another. And another one.

Joey one day decided he wanted to start fresh. Somewhere where nobody knows him, so he could be someone else. His intent was also to pursue his dreams, so he packed up his bags and made his way to LA. Surprisingly, he made a rather, cozy life living there despite the harsh competition. Sure he may have lied his way in a few screenings, Joey managed to get his big break in Hollywood as a cinematographer.

Name: Makoto Surigawa
Nickname : Makoto, prefers to be called Mack nowadays.
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Birthdate: January 19
Hometown: Osaka, Japan
Sexuality: Pansexual. She likes who she likes.
Occupation: Part time derby nightclub(er) clerk, part time back up dancer.

Height : 5'5
Hair: Jet Black
Eyes: Dark brown, Almond
Build: Fit, Athletic
Dist: Features: Bunny smile, Sunny demeanor
Face Claim: Kiyoko Koizumi

Virtues:
Energetic, She can dance the night away, and usually is the last woman standing on the dance floor. Her energetic nature ties in with her sunny personality, as she can never seem to get tired of socializing with people. If given the chance, she will never stop talking and would never seem to run out of topics to talk about.
Friendly, she's good at forming worthwhile relationships, without her being too pushy. She likes the company of strangers and the excitement of getting to know them.
Optimistic, she rarely backs down on failure and can easily move on from the destruction. Rolling with the punches is one of her strongest virtues.
Vices:
Absent Minded, She easily forgets trivial things, she often misplaces her apartment keys or say a person's name wrong/ the place she'd just recently visited.
Easily distracted, Has a hard time paying attention, and often jumps from one topic to another. Her train of thought is easily cut off when something, however it may be small, catches her interest.
Devil may care She's the type to go with the flow, wherever life takes her. She rarely thinks through the consequences, and is the type who'd act before she thinks.

Fatal Flaw: Her energy can be too draining for others. She lacks a solid direction due to her absent minded/easily distracted nature. Consistency is not her strongest suit.

Hopes: After years living in LA, Mack never really settled for anything dramatic, a dream or a life that she could feel secure of in the long run. She's not the type to settle down nor aspire to be know and be bigger in life, definitely not in place like LA. She was only in it for the adventure, the locals and the prospect of living in a new place, the experience of being a full fledged American. A life that is definitely a far cry from her more traditional and sheltered upbringing in Japan.
