Being offered £500 to go on a reality TV show, with the chance to get £1000 more if you stick with it, sounds too good to be true, right?

Well, that's what happened to you one day. Five boys and five girls of all different ages, including you, had the offer above proposed to them. All they had to do was agree to live in a house together for half a year, with pretty much everything controlled and decided for them. Who they share a dorm with. What they eat. What they get to do. When/If they get to go out. All while being constantly watched by cameras that broadcast the footage to the whole country.

Couldn't be too hard, right?

Of course it is. This show is just a facade, designed for something else completly.

Every single person in this house has a secret, a problem, maybe even two or three. The people picked to come here were chosen because their problems and secrets are meant to work together, help them get them sorted and all happy and normal again. Think of it as almost like therapy. The cash thing is just to entice people in and get them to stick with it.

Or will they just clash and cause chaos?

Could you bare your soul to complete strangers - and the whole nation - for the sake of a big prize?

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Rules

- Goes without saying now, but basic RP and TT rules: no Mary Sues/Gary Stus, no Kawaiis, no godmodding, keep it PG-13 etc.

- This RP is literate, so no script formats here. I'm not expecting massive posts (although they would be cool), but I'm expecting at least four decent length sentences per post.

- I have to accept your form before you can start replying, and I reserve the right to kick you out of here.

- There are five boy spaces, and five girl spaces. No more, no less. When all the spaces of a gender get filled, I'll say, and please don't make any more of that then! That would be a bit daft, wouldn't it?

- Let's have some diversity between the characters: different ages, different secrets/problems, etc. Let's be orginal!

Form

Name:

Age:

Gender:

Looks: Pictures are allowed, but no anime. Descriptions, however, are loved.

Personality: Don't just put tags, e.g. shy, sweet, kind.

Secret(s)/Problem(s): Just to clarify, by 'problems' I mean like... mental problems. Anorexia, a tad insane, etc, not 'They have a math test coming up and they can't do it.'

Other: Anything else?

I'll post mine if someone else joins. Lazy Eleanor is lazy after all this thinking.

 
Form

Name:Alice Crusoe

Age:18

Gender:Female

Looks: Short dark brown hair with blue eyes, has beautifully long eyelashes and pointed pixy like nose.

Personality: Is shy, but opens up a while after getting to know a person. Can be wild at times. Is kind of a push over when she feels pitty for someone. Loves everything. Can make the best out of any situation.

Secret(s)/Problem(s): Has an almost extreme OCD, where she thinks the number 23 is following her and telling her what to do. You could catch her in her pj's hopping on one foot down the stairs because number 23 "told her so".

Other: Has an obsession with tamagotchis... :D and eating ice.

 
Name: Terrance "Terra" Rogers (He makes a comeback! Yay!!)

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Looks: Terra is a Caucasian male who is 5'9, 145 lbs and has a build halfway between a small build and a medium build. He has short, blond hair, and he uses gel to make this mini mohawk in the center of his head. He's not bald around the small half inch tall mohawk if that's what you're wondering by the way. Nor can the mohawk take out people's eyes since that would be stupid and too lol for a realistic RP. Terra has green eyes, and he doesn't really have any birthmarks or acne or any of that stuff. Terra wears the normal guy clothing- aka jeans, t-shirts, hoodies, and the like. Shoewise, he wears those Nike basketball shoes.

Personality: This guy is a potty mouth who comes up with the most awesome, loving nicknames for people and will cuss at least once a post. Terra is rash, and doesn't really care whether he hurts peoples feelings or not. Unless of course, he hurts the feelings of his closest friends and crushes, although he won't show it since he doesn't want to show any softness. He hates to listen to teh' problems of people, and will basically be completely inconsiderate to them (I.E, one time, his friend called him because his girlfriend dumped him. Terra's response: "Heh, you probably just ******* her off with your stupid romantic visions of *** and rainbows, I would dump you too.") Terra is that kind of guy who will tell you what he thinks, and he's basically a guy who supports realism. Despite all of this, Terra is a great friend who is loyal, and willing to help his friends. Just as long as they don't make him work too much. Schoolwise, Terra basically fails. This may lead you to think that he's stupid, but he's actually a genius. It's just that he doesn't really give a d*** about school.

Secret(s)/Problem(s): Terra's problem is that he's violent and sort of has trouble managing extreme anger. At one point, he got a gun and almost killed this one guy he got mad at, only narrowly missing the guy's chest by like an inch. He has this terrible habit of always carrying some weapon, refusing to never go out without something- most of the time, he at least carries a swiss army knife. Terra refuses help- Even though his family sent him to a counselor once, he just spat at them and then found lots of sarcastic answers to their questions, and he also trolled the counselor which lead the counselor to ragequit. Basically, long story short: Never tick off Terra or you risk death.

Other: Nothing else, except he has a dark sense of humor, sort of like Rat from that one comic in the paper. He likes boxing since punching people is fun. And educational. Not.

(Runner, accepted~ Yay for Terra! Maddox... I'm gonna have to deny it. Too short, especially with looks, plus the problem... well, OCD isn't being told what to do with a number.)

Name: Gloria Night

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Looks: Gloria is a blonde, no doubt about it. Her hair is also very long - it's not quite at her waist, but she's aiming on getting it there. Because of this, it's normally left down, but every now and then she'll either tie it up in a messy bun or a very long ponytail. If she's feeling 'radical', she'll put it n a plait (which actually amuses her greatly, as she only has to turn around to hit someone in the face with it. Hard.). It varies from being straight as an arrow to loose and wavy, depending on her mood or if she was bothered enough that morning to pull out the straighteners. She's about average height for her age, but she always boosts it by wearing very high heels. Her eyes are a dark green colour, and she almost never covers them up with sunglasses or similar. Make up, however, that's a different story. Gloria's always wearing make up - not too much that she looks completely fake, but enough to change her normal appearance considerably. Clothing wise, she wears as little clothing as she can get away with around here. Her out-of-school wardrobe consists of very short and revealing tops, with short skirts as a side order, and she always wears her high heels and often quite a few bracelets, no matter what she's wearing. That's mainly to show off her wealth though. Well, her dad's wealth anyway.

Personality: Gloria seems like nothing but an innocent, dumb, giggly blonde. She's always very sweet and nice to everyone she talks to or bumps into, and almost every thing she says will have a giggle somewhere, whether it be at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of her sentence. She doesn't do it because she finds everything funny, far from it - it's just a habit. In short, she seems to be very childish, what with the giggling and the simple things she often says. She also appears to be very careless, and can't ever resist a dare. However, this whole personality is just an act, an act to cover up the real Gloria. It may seem that Gloria has a split personality, but it's not that. She created the giggly personality herself. The real Gloria, in case you haven't guessed, is a cruel and cold hearted girl. If someone gets in her way, god help them, because she will happily do whatever it takes to 'deal with them' and remove the problem from her seemingly perfect life. She's actually a very violent girl, albeit a skilled one, in the sense that she'll get it done quickly and with as little attention received as possible.

Secret(s)/Problem(s): Gloria has a disorder known as erotophonophilia, which basically means 'getting a kick out of killing someone'. Yes, she's killed before, and she was caught, but a combination of her fake personality and her dad's position and wealth got her out of most of the 'side effects', as she called them. But's what to stop her doing it again?

Other: Nope.

 
(Yay! Anyway, is it fine if I go and make an edit to Terra's personality? I realized I left some holes in there, which I need to fix.)

 
(No problem! I'm gonna wait for other people to join - if we get anyone else, haha - before I start anyway, so... yeah)

 
(Alright. I added in some stuff :3 Looking forward to Terra giving everyone awesome nicknames, :DDDD)

And yes it is an OCD...a rare one, but it is one. It's an OCD that's so out of hand that the mind creates another object or person that is actually saying to do such things, and it becomes more like voices in the head telling you bad things will happen if a thing is not acted upon...but ok. And my description is short, yes. But I don't need to write a book to describe what my character is...but whatever. You're looking for a character w/ problems but maybe you should do your research first before saying something isnt real...tata

 
Name: Kayley Barker

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Looks: Kayley has light blonde hair, almost lookin white in bright light, that is very wavy and hangs down to her chest. She has pale blue eyes, not very bold or eye-catching, and they are always narrowed when the rest of her face is screwed up with anxiety. She is very small and thin for her age, and her face is childish enough for her to be mistaken for someone much younger. She usually wears very pale, fitted clothes, making her fade into the background most of the time.

Personality: Because of Kayley's obbsessions, she acts very panicky and anxious all of the time. She rushes from one place to another, making sure everything is in order, and there is nothing to do with the dreaded number three. She is also very panicky around people, so this probably wasn't the best choice for her to make, but she wanted to face up to people and not be as shy.

Secret(s)/Problem(s): Kayley has a very severe case of OCD. She hates the number three, because it is half of six, and 666 is the Devil's number. Her condition takes over her life. If she has quite a few of anything (e.g., pens, keys) there can't be three. She will drop one, or grab another, just so there isn't that number. She counts to three with every step she takes, and freaks out if he steps on any crack in the floor on the number three. In this case, she has to stamp on the crack with her other foot, just until she feels 'right'. She has to flick light switches on and off three times, check a room three times before she can leave, and just about every other aspect of her life is controlled by her aversion to the number three.

Other: Uh...nope.

Oh, and Maddoxsmommy11, read the PM I sent you.

 
(Accepted Beth~ Note: There's 3 girl places and 4 boy places left)

(Kso, I'm just gonna start now.)

Gloria had been the first one inside her new home, and she'd been here for around half an hour now. It wan't like she'd done much - all she'd managed to do (or been allowed to do, however you wanted to view this current situation) was dump her luggage in the corner of the room (the dorms weren't even open yet, which sucked. She'd been hoping to claim the best one.) and grab some food from the fridge. Well, what little had been in the fridge. And so here sat Gloria Night, staring at a TV screen with a bowl of ice cream, waiting for her other 'housemates' to show up. As Friday nights went in Gloria's life, this wasn't exactly her best or most exciting one.

 
Terra had just arrived at his new home, and there he stood, glaring at the front door. Grabbing the door knob and kicking the door with his foot, he slammed it shut behind him. Then he let out loose with a stream- actually, an ocean of cusses. "****. **** this ****ing ****. *****." Terra threw his gym bag by the stairs, and then he stormed his way to what was the kitchen. Well, at least he had been able to take a knife with him, secretly, smuggling it in his pocket. The last place on Earth he wanted to be was here, in this little ****hole of a place, with people gawking at him like he was some circus monkey. This made him even more ****ed, so he gave the fridge a nice kick.

 
Name: Antarctic Dream Skye Bloom

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Looks: Antarctica has short 'dark blonde' hair that reaches her shoulders, it is always messy. Antarctica's eyes are a darkish blue with a black outline. She wears custom-made camouflage jeans (she's got heaps of them) and a t-shirt with a witty saying on it (the wittier the better). Her skin is white and refuses to tan. She is about 5'7 and has a lean figure. She likes shiny things.

Personality: Antarctica tends to like proving how much better she is than anyone (as in competitive like; 'Yeah? Well my snakes are smarter than both of your dogs put together.'). She is very witty, but hardly ever swears. She puts her two pet snakes, EchoSong and SilverStream, above herself. She likes to give advise. If your nice to Antarctica you've got a new friend, if you aren't nice to her you have a new enemy. Antarctica has a habit of ignoring whoever (friend or not) for weeks afterwards. She won't be the one to make the first move.

Secret(s)/Problem(s): Antarctica can't eat, sleep, or drink if she doesn't know where her two snakes are. She cries, blames herself and acts negative if this happens.

Other: SilverStream.

EchoSong

(Aquangel... I'm going to have to reject your form. I'd have to say the problem's a bit weird - like, anyone would feel worried and insecure if they didn't know where their pets were. Also, the name sounds a bit Mary Sue-ish - have you ever met anyone with a name like that?)

Gloria hadn't been expecting any sudden loud noises, and as a result jumped rather violently when she heard rather loud cussing and banging sounds from behind her. Slowly lowering her legs off the sofa and putting her feet down hard so her high heels made a loud noise, Gloria stood up and looked over at the boy that must have recently just entered the house. "Hey there. What did that fridge ever do to you?" She asked, giving a small giggle as she put her ice cream bowl down and moved around from the sofa she had been sat on, running a hand through her blonde hair - currently wavy - out of habit before offering it to the boy, giving a small giggle at the unfamilar action. "I'm Gloria."

 
Terra took it and shook her hand, looking directly into her eyes. His glare didn't really disappear at all, his gaze staying as sharp as it had been for the last 10 minutes. "That ****ing fridge deserved it because it ****ing is in this ****hole. Gloria, huh?" He put his hand down from the handshake and then gave a rather nasty, evil looking smile. "I could give you a nice nickname if you would like."

 
Gloria, not at all fazed by the boy's almost constant swearing, simply lowered her hand, resting it on her hip. "Am I able to stop you?" She said in response to the nickname comment. "I've been called a lot of things in my time. Let's see what you've got." Smoothly sliding past her companion, Gloria reached out and opened the fridge again, frowning at the contents - or rather, the lack of them. "Hm. There's not much, is there?" She giggled, turning to face the boy again. "I didn't get your name?"

 
Kayley walked slowly into the room, muttering under her breath as she did so. Every so often, she took a giant step, almost a leap, breathing heavily. She didn't look up at the others in the room, barely even noticing they were there, as she was too wrapped up with counting. She leapt over another line in the floor, landing on the sofa and curling up. Instead, she turned her attention to her clothes, adjusting her t-shirt.

 
Name: Clarence "Clancy" Ziegler

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Looks: He is 5'7, and average weight. He comes from a rich family, so he dresses quite nicely. His hair is usually slicked back. He hit puberty at a young age, and as a result looks older than he is. He has a pointed nose, which considerably adds to his rich boy look. His eyes are a dark brown- they look black in some lighting- and his hair is also a dark brown, though lighter than his eyes. His lips are rather thin, so his smile is a little odd looking. He dresses in very nice clothes, and is a suit kind of guy, though sometimes he will dress in a sweater or t-shirt, depending on the mood he's in.

Personality: Clancy is very polite. He's very smart, and seems to always know what answers people expect of him when it comes to morality. He's a little distant, however, and doesn't seem comfortable when others show grand displays of emotion. He doesn't really talk about himself much, and instead listens to others. He can spend a whole day with someone, and then completely ignore them the next day. This isn't exactly him being rude, however- it's just part of his 'rules'.

Secret(s)/Problem(s): He has Antisocial Personality Disorder- in other words, he's a sociopath. He can't feel empathy. Seeing as the majority of sociopaths become serial killers, Clancy has rules that he follows. He particularly enjoys the thought of killing girls, so one of his rules is that he isn't allowed to think about girls. When talking to them he looks at their face, not their body. Another rule is that he is not allowed to pay to much attention to one individual, otherwise he will begin stalking them. He has many, many rules to keep himself in check, but sometimes the urge to kill is extremely strong- in which case he may kill an animal, or an insect. Lately, though, they haven't been satisfying him as well as he would hope.

Other: Not really, no. Oh, just a quick little note- he is also a bit of a pyromaniac, as that is one of the symptoms of being a sociopath.

 
"Oh, you really wanna hear what I've got? Well, the nicknames I've got would be.." Terra stopped to allow a dramatic pause. "****ing blond, and ****ing giggles-to-the-point-that-it's-pretty-much-fake. I've got more, but I dunno if you'd want to hear them. Anyway, out of those two, which one seems better?" Terra wished with all his heart that he had a bottle of booze right now, the urge to have some made him feel like he was drowning. But there was no way in h*** would they have a bottle of alcohol in a house like this.

 
Can I reserve a girl spot if I promise to make it later (a)?? This darn renovation gives me no time to post on here but I clicked on this and fell in love and I will also reply again to the other rp soon I promise, I posted something yesterday afternoon but it sort of sucked.

Anyways, can't really talk, must go back to flooring -.- / :(
