2. Bullying will not be tolerated (interactions between characters do not count as long as both parties are okay with it)
3. Please give your best effort to make posts at least one good paragraph if not more like two. (I am not one to always enforce this but if short posts start getting in the way of the rp flowing I may have to mention it to you.)

[Algatrine549]

Name: Benjamin (Benny) Hilton


Age: 16


Gender: Male


Sexuality: straight


Appearance: Benny is blonde, 5’10”, has green eyes, and normally wears clothes like: t-shirts and shorts. His hair is a managed mess if that makes sense. He normally just brushes it flat after a shower and then shakes his hair, so it’s not sticking up but not exactly in a certain style. He also has a huge black burn (more on this in bio) on his chest but of course most people don’t see him shirtless so not many people know about it. Also adding to this. He always wears a shirt when swimming as to hide the burn scar.


Likes: Benny has a love for romance, he adores all types of romance media. Books, movies, tv shows, and especially music. He also likes to sing himself. He likes baking, drawing, and sewing. He loves cute things and underneath everything he’s actually pretty girlish, he likes a lot of things considered girly, for instance his favorite color.


Dislikes: Benny hates horror, sad stuff so like every dog movie ever, he also dislikes people who act arrogant. Benny doesn’t like people touching his stuff and/or getting in his personal space.


Bio: Benny grew up in a good family until he was 12 when his father started drinking. His dad slowly started getting more and more aggressive, until one night his father burnt down their house. This killed both his father and mother, and almost killed him. He miraculously survived but not without a huge burn over his chest. By the time he arrived at Santa Monica the burn had stopped hurting and had essentially become nothing more than a scar. He arrived at Santa Monica 2 months ago.

Personality: Benny is a pretty nice kid. He respects his elders and other children (or at least the ones he thinks deserve respect). He’s also a pretty nice guy to be around.

Benny is a pretty girly boy underneath though. He likes girly things (read his likes) and in private he’s actually really girly, but of course he keeps this his personal secret as he finds it embarrassing. To most people he acts pretty normal for a 16 year old.





Extra stuff:


Birthday: May 18


Favorite color: Neon pink


Favorite food: Burritos


Least favorite food: Pizza (yes pizza)


Desires: he desires to be loved. This can be a girlfriend, a family, or just a best friend. He just wants someone to care about him.


Fears: he has an intense fear, or maybe it’s more like PTSD, of fire (which I’d say is understandable) he can handle electric stovetops and ovens, stuff like that. His fear is specifically triggered when he sees actual flames. He used to freak out but he’s slowly gotten better at staying calm, but he still hates going near fire.

[KaiMedia]

Name:
Diego Mateo Vargas
Age:
14
Gender:
Male
Sexuality:
Gay (though he is kinda unsure as of yet)
Appearance:
As shown above but a few notes. Diego tends to dress very casual in a wide range of colors and types of clothes. Though he is rarely seen without a shirt/something covering his torso as he does have a number of scars and is fairly self conscious about them.
Likes:
Soccer he often calls it his first love
Video games
Spending time just chilling outside
Dislikes:
Being alone to much time to be in his own head
Sushi (cant get past the texture)
Authority figures (not in a doesn’t want to follow rules cause he is a rebel way, more of a he has learned not to trust them way.)

Bio:
Diego Mateo Vargas was only three years old when his life was upended. He doesn’t remember exactly what happened to his parents, only that they were suddenly gone. The memories of that time are fragmented—flashes of confusion, fear, and the strange, sterile surroundings of a child welfare office. He entered the foster system with no answers and no one to truly care for him.

The early years were a blur of unstable homes. At first, Diego thought each move would bring him to a better place, but that hope faded quickly. Some foster parents barely acknowledged his existence, treating him like a burden rather than a child. In others, he was exposed to things no child should ever see: physical and emotional abuse, rampant drug use, and violence between caregivers and other foster children. At one point, he lived with a man who lashed out in anger over the smallest mistakes. Another foster home was little more than a hub for drug dealers, and Diego often went hungry when money meant for food was spent elsewhere.

By the time Diego was eight, he had learned to be invisible. He kept his head down, his emotions locked away, and his body braced for whatever might come next. He avoided making attachments because he knew they wouldn’t last. On a few occasions, he was briefly placed with families that were kind, but those homes were temporary placements, and Diego was always sent away before he could settle in. Trust was a foreign concept.

School became a battleground for Diego’s mind. He wanted to succeed but carried too much trauma to concentrate. His grades fluctuated wildly depending on his circumstances at home. There were teachers who noticed the signs of his struggles, offering support, but Diego rarely accepted it. It wasn’t that he didn’t want help—he just didn’t believe anyone could truly help him. Still, there were glimpses of who he could be. He found brief comfort in the school library, escaping into stories of adventure, and soccer gave him a rare outlet for his bottled-up frustration.

His teenage years brought more hardship. In one particularly bad foster home, he was beaten after defending another child from abuse. He spent weeks recovering from the bruises and broken ribs, but he didn’t let anyone know how much pain he was in. It became just another trauma to carry. Despite everything, he held onto a small ember of hope—though he wasn’t sure why.

At the age of thirteen, Diego was transferred to Santa Monica Home for Displaced Youth, a place unlike any he had ever been. The home wasn’t perfect, but it was stable, safe, and filled with staff who genuinely cared. For the first time, Diego had access to therapy, something he’d always been too afraid to engage with before. It was slow going, but over time, he began to unpack the weight he had carried for so long.

Now, after a year at Santa Monica, Diego is still cautious but no longer ruled by fear. He has started forming tentative friendships with other residents and has even opened up about his love for soccer. Though his scars remain, both visible and hidden, Diego is beginning to believe that he might have a future worth fighting for.

A few more things:
Diego has a “girlfriend” though it is clear to most people who spend much time around them that he doesn’t really have romantic feelings for him. Though he swears he does. This isn’t a conscious deception on his part its mostly just a deep rooted need to deny his feelings for guys that drives it.

sudden loud thuds or crashes tend to trigger panic attacks related to his abuse in the past though he is learning to manage these and they aren’t usually to bad unless he is already stressed about something.​

The Sun-Kissed Dots On Her Nose...

Aspen Stone

★★★★★★

Female / Sixteen / Bisexual

Likes: Astronomy, Coastal Scenery, Autumn

Dislikes: Frogs, Rap Music, Dirty Water

Appearance

Aspen has hair the color of ginger, or in other words, red sand. It runs just past her shoulders, but seems to show no sign of waves or curls. Her skin is pale, freckles lining the tip of her nose and flourishes on her cheeks. Her eyes could be considered a charcoal-brown. She likes to wear more a bit more of baggy or oversized clothes-not too much that'd she'd drown, but enough that's she'd feel comfortable with what she's weaing. Her ears are pierced, and almost always has her signature crystal-clear butterfly earrings on. 5'5" In height.

As one of her most prized possessions, Aspen has three golden rings that go he right hand. She doesn't like when her things go out of place, which is why she gets fidgety when people try to touch her stuff. The color palette that always tended to suit her more were through the red's, blue's and the green's, since it honestly complimented her hair shade. She has a natural distaste for overly neon things though, which is why she's rarely ever seen with such things on.

Personality

Aspen has always found solace in the beauty of the world around her, with the beach being her favorite place to unwind. She finds the most joy in watching the sky change colors during sunrises and sunsets, feeling as though nature itself is putting on a private show just for her. Her appreciation for scenery extends beyond just the beach—she has an eye for picturesque landscapes, autumn forests, and vibrant flower fields. However, while she enjoys the serenity of these places, she doesn't always find peace within herself. There is an ever-present flicker of irritation beneath her calm demeanor, as her short temper makes her quick to frustration, especially when things don't go as planned.

Despite her quick temper, Aspen is neither overly aggressive nor submissive—she is simply independent. Having had no real role models to rely on, she learned to fend for herself from a young age. This self-reliance has shaped her into someone who doesn’t easily back down, yet at times, she struggles with knowing when to engage in social situations and when to distance herself. As an ambivert, she hovers between social and solitary moments, uncertain about when she should contribute to conversations or when it’s best to stay quiet. Crowded spaces make her uncomfortable, as she prefers smaller, more intimate gatherings where she can truly connect with others without feeling overwhelmed.

Aspen's love for nature is strong, but it comes with a limit—she adores plant life and the changing seasons, especially the crisp air and warm hues of autumn, yet she detests certain creatures within the wild. Frogs, in particular, disgust her, and she would rather admire a field of flowers than deal with the unpredictable critters that roam the forests. When she does have time for herself, she enjoys indulging in action and sci-fi books, though she often finds herself too busy to read as much as she would like. Whenever she feels the need to escape from reality, her first instinct is to retreat somewhere scenic, often the beach, where she can clear her mind without interference.

One of Aspen's biggest struggles is her inability to say no. She often finds herself caught between wanting to put her own needs first and the guilt of letting others down. Even when she knows she should refuse, the idea of disappointing someone eats away at her. This internal conflict has made her more reserved when it comes to making commitments, fearing that she’ll either overextend herself or upset someone in the process. While she may not always know how to navigate social complexities, Aspen is sure of one thing—she values her personal space and will always seek comfort in the quiet beauty of the world around her.

Background

Aspen had always thought she lived in a family that loved her, but that clearly wasn't the case. Sometimes she'd wake up in the middle of the night and overhear her parents talking when she was younger. The topic was always about her-the things she did, how she was, and who she spoke to. She always shrugged it off, since a child's brain could only go so for.

Once her days in Middle School hit, there was a time she was called into the office. The stares she had gotten had irritated her, but she bit back any words that tried to come out. The news was that Aspen was going home-which joyed her since not many really liked education at school. But, to her dismay, she had come home to not anything special. There had been a clear argument between her parents, something about who was going to start taking care of her from now on. The problem was, she actually understood what was happening now.

Her mother nor father wanted to take care of her, and because of that, they practically disowned her. For the time after that, she had always questioned what in the world was wrong with her. Aspen knew if she asked anyone, they'd say "Nothing!" because they did know nothing. There was a place that had come up and took her in-the Santa Monica was what it was called. Eventually, her stay had grew to around one month, but she still had some feelings of unease as she went around.

The Bookworm

David “Davey” Brighton

★★★★★★

Demiboy (He/They) / 14 / Bisexual

Likes: Books, Comics, Fireplaces, Water, Writing, Being Alone

Dislikes: Crowded Spaces, Talking, Uncleanliness, Spiders

Appearance

Davey is a boy with dark hair, glasses and usually a hoodie. Davey usually has messy hair, but on some days his hair is fixed to one side. Davey usually wears shorts no matter the weather, he doesn’t like wearing cargo or long pants because he doesn’t like the texture. Davey has 2 pairs of glasses, he wears either big glasses or short glasses depending on his mood that day. Davey has freckles and acne, whenever you mention the acne he’ll just avoid the question and bring up a different topic. On some occasions, Davey might wear a t-shirt but that’s only when he feels happy or something good happened that day.

Personality

As mentioned before, Davey is pretty moody and wears different stuff related to his mood. You can usually find him in the library/book corner catching up on his favorite novel or comic, he prefers novels though. If you do decide to read with him, you can expect to see him reading a romance novel every once in a while but Davey says that “it’s only because i like the characters”, and he’ll usually just ignore you if you do decide to question it more. If you’re close friends with him, he might be willing to talk about his favorite novels and/or comics with you but that’s only if he’s in the right mood. If you talk with him somewhere that’s not the library, he would walk to a secluded place and then start talking with you because he doesn’t want to get embarrassed and have other people eavesdrop on your conversation with him. If he is forced to go somewhere with a lot of people, he’ll just take his favorite novel and go somewhere where it’s the least crowded.

Backstory

Davey was born into a poor family who couldn’t afford even the smallest margins of food. So, every day David’s parents would go outside and start begging on the streets only bringing a couple of pennies back inside. This would only give them a few seeds at the most, so his parents decided that it would be best to put David in a youth home for the time being. David originally didn’t like the idea of leaving his parents but he was forced to. David was only 9 when he was first moved into a youth home, then that’s when he started becoming more reserved and found comfort at the library. It felt like the books could hear him and his emotions, slowly turning the pages was therapeutic to Davey. He was engulfed into the stories that the local author wrote up and delivered to the library, and then whenever he finished a series he would ask if there was another series. He loved when he would get recommended a new book title, then he could get hooked into a new story. He was in that youth home for 4 years till he went to Santa Monica at 13, he’s been there for a year ever since.

 

[Ticl]

Name:
Jude Fowler
Age:
16
Gender:
Male
Sexuality:
Questioning
Appearance:
Stringy blonde hair, watery grey eyes, both knees and elbows are scarred and he has a handful of small, ugly stick and poke tattoos. He’s about 5’10” and lean with a permanent scowl and slouch.
Likes:
Being Lazy
People Watching
The Ocean
Dislikes:
Snow
Deadlines
Disloyalty

Bio:
Mean Spirited | Secretive | Nosy | Careless | Carefree | Impulsive | Playful

To the naked eye Jude is a self destructive youth trying to find his place in the world but more often than not running from points in his life that aren’t fun or content. Landing in one destructive environment after another.He lacks a vocal filter, and is known for being sharp, this mixed with his callous tendencies make for a hot temper that often highlights the more negative aspects of his personality, such as being flat out snappy.

Jude’s existence is based on indecision and easy rides and it’s an undeniable fact that he doesn’t have the tools to create a stable existence. A terrible mix with the fact that he has absolutely no sense of caution and will fight for freedom without a sense of what freedom actually is. He is boyish, abrasive and rude but also fun loving and rebellious to his core.
-
It started with a mistake.
Alright, let’s go back a bit – technically it really began years ago. But the point remains, If you ask about Jude today, one of the first things you’ll hear is “Bad Kid” A mistake.
It seems to be a popular view, and maybe that shouldn’t be a surprise; he’s often compared to others his age. The thoughtful, reliable type. When people see Jude they don’t see composure or stability, instead, they see his push-pull lifestyle which forms much of his basic characteristics.
But, why isn’t Jude actually just a bad kid?

It can be tempting, and often the default, to stubbornly refuse to hear a story from more than one perspective. The protagonist is the protagonist precisely because it’s their perspective, and mainstream motives don’t always ask people to switch it up and look at the world upside down. But Jude is one of those rare creatures, a runaway train with a hundred onion layers to peel away, and the most important of those onion layers is in where he came from.

Jude was kinda… neglected.

While he is not blameless in his actions, his parents kicked off his descent. From a young age, Jude was trapped in a cycle of maltreatment without the tools to recognise it. His Father wasn’t exactly present and when he was he was switching between barking orders or physical violence. And his birth Mother… She often reminded him of what a terrible child he was. Both were usually too preoccupied to care otherwise and weren’t cut out to be good parents anyway. Or maybe the fact that they had plentiful children made them so bitter. Jude had four Brothers and two Sisters to compete against in his youth, most of whom disappeared with time. So, it was safe to say the floor plan offered to him wasn't exactly ideal.
