Board Thread:Connection Requests/@comment-3503487-20160125034531

Hi, it's me again. Or actually not again, since I've never made a connection request, but again in the sense that I'm back to lumblr and excited to rp again.

So for a while I've had this idea for having a bunch of adults around 30 years old in Barfield, but I didn't have time to really work on it until recently, so here I am months later.

Basically all these people are in very different places of their lives, some have never been in serious long-term relationships, some who got out of marriages, some who just found new things about their sexuality, some who just changed careers, etc. They all lived very differently in their early adult lives, but they're coming to terms with the idea that they have to make some changes, so they're trying new things now.

I don't know if anyone will be interested in this, but let me know if you are. I have a couple of characters written already that I'd like as connections, but if you want to make any other adult characters to connect (or maybe you already made one and want them to all know each other or something), that'd be cool too since there aren't a ton of adults here.

So far I've created Amelia Cruz. Short summary of her is that Amelia just got divorced because her ex ended their marriage because he was gay, and she's now just moved into an apartment with one of her only close friends and coworker. I'm looking for someone to create her. Also, I'm looking for someone to create one of her friends from high school in Atlanta - he's been a professional athlete since halfway through college but never really made it big, so he's deciding to retire from playing and get a different job, and his first job lands him in Barfield.

Characters Involved: Amelia Cruz

Connection Type: Close friend/Coworker

Character Name: UTP (I've named her Karen for now, but you can definitely change the name)

Gender: Female

Age: 28-35

Occupation: She works for a newspaper. UTP what specifically she does.

FC Suggestions: UTP

Brief History: UTP except that she's never been in a long-term relationship.

Personality Traits: UTP but she's flirtatious

Additional Information: She's attractive and is kind of a serial monogamist. She and Amelia are the only females working at their office, so they're really close, but while Amelia has been with one man this whole time, this girl has been dating around, including numerous coworkers. She and Amelia will kinda have this dynamic where she's teaching Amelia how to date/flirt/etc now that she's single for the first time in her adult life and Amelia's teaching her how to have longer relationships and other stuff.

Characters Involved: Amelia Cruz

Connection Type: Friend/Possible love interest

Character Name: UTP

Gender: Male

Age: 29-31

Occupation: Former professional athlete (which sport is UTP), new job UTP

FC Suggestions: UTP

Brief History: He was born in Atlanta, Georgia and lived there his whole life until now. He became a professional basketball player in Atlanta. However, he never got really big in the professional leagues, so he decided to retire recently (around age 30) and find another job (UTP). The first job he got was in Barfield, so he decided to move. The only friend he knew in Barfield was Amelia, who he had been good friends with in high school before she moved to Blackwood Mountain, so they're getting back in touch. Yeah so he's new to the area, and the rest of his history is UTP.

Personality Traits: He's extroverted, easygoing, sociable, and a talented athlete. He also had many friends in high school and is one of those people who makes friends really easily. Anything else UTP.

Additional Information: He was in the same year as Amelia in school.
