Anything can happen in New York City.
Heartbreak.
Romance.
Rejection.
Redemption.
We are all a part of the city; we are the pulse that comes from her beating heart.
We live.
We laugh.
We grow.
And we do it together.
So come in. Have a cup of coffee at the local bistro, or maybe give a dollar to that homeless boy on the corner. The one playing the violin? You never know; maybe he'll end up being your soulmate.
Anything can happen in New York City.

She can be cold and rude to certain people, very shy around new people that impress her, fun-loving, out-going, and sarcastic around her good friends.

She wears black rimmed glasses over her hazel eyes. At first sight, it may not appear, but she can be athletic and flexible, able to put up a fight and defend herself.
Bio: Erin owns a nice apartment because she could buy a house, but she wouldn't really need it since it's only her and her dog, Jaybird(JB), living in the place. She has six brothers that have spread out, but they keep close connection with each other. If Erin asks one to come, they'd be there within twenty-four hours. She is not the richest of people, but she does make good money. She is an artist. Her talents include: Painting, Photographing, Writing(Music and Books), Singing, and Playing Almost Any Instrument.

( Yes, I'd like a profile, Ravishing--and I'm probably going to go to college in New York City. ^__^ )
Basic info
Name: David Benison
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Orientation: 'cured' homosexual
Personality: Due to a traumatic situation in his past, David has closed himself off to reality and spends most of his time locked away in his head. He paranoid and bipolar, but you wouldn't be able to tell by looking--he has become very good at hiding himself. When he was younger, he was dreamy and passionate, felt things very strongly, and loved and lived with everything he had. Somewhere inside, the old David is trying to get out.
Appearance: His blue-black hair is curly when he leaves it be, but he hates the ringlets and so straightens it out every morning. It is cut in a shag, with the front piece streaked in blue and silver. Standing at six foot three, he got a recessive 'tall' gene from some obscure Swedish relative in the past; other than that, he looks and is nearly completely Irish. His skin is so white it looks as though he's spent the past ten years in a cave, and it burns to a crisp in thirty minutes if he doesn't apply massive amounts of sunscreen. His eyes are deep blue with long, dark lashes, his hands slender with long fingers, and his features delicate and nearly androgynous. His body type is willowy; incredibly tall ( as before mentioned ) but very thin.
Bio
History: Born of incredibly conservative parents, David has been told his entire life that being gay is a filthy sin. The fact that he himself might be never crossed his mind until he met a boy named James Whitestone and fell hopelessly in love, and even then it took him a full year to admit it. The two of them spent a long time having secret rendes-vous and hiding their love from the outside world, but even the most careful can be caught, and they were. David's parents immediately sent him to a reorientation camp, which is where he sustained the psychological damage. When he finally came out, he obtained this information--his Jamie, the love of his life, had been hit by a car and was now in a coma. Completely shattered, David renounced love altogether and spent all of his time working on his music--as a result of the pent-up anger and pain he refuses to deal with, the songs he writes come out as being disturbing and twisted.
Family: Two very conservative, yet well-meaning, parents; four older brothers, only one of whom is on David's side; a four-year-old sister he isn't allowed to visit for fear of 'influencing' her; a six-year-old nephew he isn't allowed to visit for the same reason.
Other: When he was a teenager, he was really into the goth scene--he still is, though he doesn't enjoy much of anything anymore. He writes music and plays the piano.
( damn that was a long profile. >< )

Name: Isabelle Barella. (Prefers Izzy, or Belle.)
Age: 19.
Gender: Female.
Orientation: Straight.
Bio: Isabelle had, in her opinion, one of the best life's possible. She lived in Spain until the age of six, giving her her strong accent and ability to speak Spanish fluently. She had a large, loving family and although she was spoiled never acted as such. Her parents decided it was time to move, and decided New York would be the best place for them; the streets were paved with gold-- yeah, right. After two years of living semi-happily her father got sick; cancer. He died within a month, and a year later her mother died of a broken heart. Isabelle, now at the tender age of nine was shipped off to live with her uncle, just a few blocks away from her original home. Her uncle wasn't a nice man, and took advantage of his nieces good body, and looks and beat her on a regular basis. She moved out only a month ago and is still trying to find her feet, living in a one bedroomed apartment.
Personality: Isabelle was once a happy, loving girl who believed she could take on the world and everything in it. Her past re-shaped her and formed a girl closed off, and un-willing to let anyone close enough to hurt her again. All of this said, Isabelle is still a very compassionate, caring person, and would give someone homeless her last dime, even if she had nothing. She can be very stubborn and sometimes ignorant to what's going on around her.
Appearance: Isabelle has long, wavy, rich hair that falls in a dark mass to her mid-black. Her eyes are a large, soft deep brown pair. She has pink lips, which can form the perfect pout, which isn't known to her, though her smile is a little crooked. Her skin is tanned, naturally, and her body type is slender and curvaceous. She stands at 5'4, quite short, but doesn't mind.

((gah, i was going to join this...before the ice storms hit, and i lost power -__-))
Name: Sarah "Boo" Tanyll
Age:21
Gender: Female
Orientation: Straight
Personality: Sarah, or Boo she likes to be called, considers herself like a bowling ball filled with cotton. On the outside to the public, she is funny, cold, sarcastic, mysterious, and tough. But if you are able to crack that outer shell, she is nice, kind, sweet, caring, and almost maternal. Her outer shell might be caused by that she is an extreme romantic and a dreamer.
History: She was born into an abusive family. Her mother was a prostitute, and left Boo with her drunk, abusive father at 6 months old. Her father was never home. And when he was, he beat her. She was near suicidal by the age of 12. But, one day she met a wonderful boy, William. They instantly fell in love with one another. He cared for her, listened to her, and understood her. They dated for 8 years, and planned to mary...Until one night, he and his friends raped and abused to her to the point she drove her beatened body to the hospital. When asked, what happened, she replied that she was mugged in a dark alley. When she was released, she immediatly packed her few belongings, and set off to NYC, for a better start.
Occupation(s) : (aspiring) Actress, Writer, Artist, Musician, book store clerk, waitress at local coffee shop.
Hair: Her dirty blonde semi-wavy hair falls below her shoulders to rest on her upper chest.
Eyes: Normally dark brown, nearly black, they sometimes change to a dark hunter green when she is angry, sad, or tired.
Appearance: Her skin color is hard to describe. In the summer, it is very tan; about as tan as any Caucasian can get. And it keeps its tan way into winter, though it does lose some of its darkness. She has a very curvy figure, but not to be confused with fat. Many of her friends and co-workers say she should model. She 'blossomed' early, giving her a larger than average chest. On her nose, is a simple sapphire stud. On her shoulder blade is the Japanese simple for 'love', 'serenity', and 'happiness'. On her lower back, is a flaming heart with wings, and on either side, intricate black design.
Other: In high school, every one considered her a goth/punk/rocker...which she was. She loves that kind of music. But call her an emo, she will flip.

( Whoo, ice storm? Lovely. x3 Can I take a vote? Do you guys think that four people is enough to start? I'd keep the RP open for others to slide themselves in at a later date, probably cutting it off at twelve. )
