WHY THEY ARE NOTABLE: 

The Hopeless Hero can account all his recent fame to being at the right place at the right time. Okay so sure, he saved someone from a rip, but really he'd just been sitting on his board, waiting on the a wave, when he'd seen someone struggling for help. He'd paddled over, and helped the young teen onto his board. Of course, when her wealthy parents had found out what had happened, he was automatically labelled a hero, and all of a sudden the story turned into a harrowing tale full of danger and risked lives. The hype around him was nice. So nice that he just, didn't correct anyone when they started talking about the exaggerated version of events. It was good for business, with everyone wanting to get surf lessons from a real life hero It was good for his love life too, seeing as 'hero' was a rather attractive trait. A few months later, and he's desperately trying not to let the hype end, taking any chance he can to stay seen as a big darn hero.

character someone should totally play on free falling:

prominent, young, new york socialite reveling in his lush lifestyle deals with sudden loss of his family’s fortune and has to adjust from being the highlight of page six to reading the cape may classifieds when his only option is to move to new jersey and live with his aunt while his family fumbles to regain what they once had - pretending this is just a lackluster vacation. plus there’s plenty of eye candy (see: nate avery) to occupy his time.

what's a skeleton character?

A skeleton character is a bio that doesn't give you all the details, just a base to build on. Here at Free Falling, we like to do things a tad different and instead of giving a name and an age, we give an interesting hook. For example, the current series we are working on are all notable figures. We tell you why they are notable, and you fill out the rest.

WHY THEY ARE NOTABLE: 

Newly appointed as Cape May's Police Chief, The Sacrificing Shrewd has already run into some controversy. There are some people, both residents and colleagues alike that seem to be under the impression she might not be the best for the role. While no one has come out and said as much, she knows some of these hesitations come from the fact she is a female. It's nothing she hasn't dealt with before though, in her masculine dominated profession. Honestly though, there are a lot of people who support her. Finding her incredibly clever with good judgement. Which are both things to be valued in her line of work. She isn't one to let the negative opinions of others affect her though, and works hard at her job. Besides, she knows she's deserving of her new position. She's spent years dedicated to the Cape May Police force. At what cost though? She'd never been good at juggling, and often times, things in her own personal life get ignored over work.  

possible face claim(s): Emily Deschanel

A note from Nikki

Off to work again today. I didn't get as many skeletons as I wanted done last night, but there is one in the queue. I should be home much earlier tonight to get more things done. Have a great day/night xox

[freefalling-rpg]

A NOTE FROM NIKKI

Hi all. I'm about to get ready for work, and then after work I have a meeting, so by the time I get home most of you other continent people will be asleep. However I promise to read any apps and answer any questions Kayla and Jess can't after work. Your patience is appreciated =). I will also be working on my skeletons after work, so look forward to that.

Sorry, just wanted to point out that on the graphics for The Bitter Beauty and The Accidental Activist college is only spelt with one L. Also, in the Accidental Activist "gender roles" is spelt like "rolls"

That's what happens when I do things at 3am. Fixing it now.

[freefalling-rpg]

WHY THEY ARE NOTABLE: 

It wasn't supposed to go this way for The Bitter Beauty, but then, when did it ever go the way anyone planned? She'd had it all worked out, and was determined things would go her way. As much as Cape May was a great place to grow up, she had bigger college plans than community college. She had the grades and recommendations, and all she really needed was the money. Which was where the Miss New Jersey beauty pageant had come into it. She'd planned to use the prize money for college tuition. Sure, it was a long shot, but it was a shot worth taking. Luck seemed to be on her side, too, because she'd won. Then, luck never seemed to last, did it? Just months after the pageant, she was accused of bribing a judge. Some stories say it was with money, others speculate it was with sex, but either way, she was stripped of her title and her prize money was rescinded. Leaving her with very few college options, and a barrage of bad press.

possible face claim(s): Janel Parrish, Grace Phipps 

[freefalling-rpg]

WHY THEY ARE NOTABLE: 

The Accidental Activist had no intention of creating such a social justice splash, She had simply been trying to live her life the way that everyone should be allowed to, regardless of their gender. When she'd stepped into the female bathroom at Atlantic Cape Community College (because female was the gender she identified with and the boys room made her uncomfortable) she had not been making a statement, she'd been trying to go to the toilet. None the less, her actions had sparked something within the community, and an on-going debate at the college about genders roles. She was not only interviewed for the school paper, but the story appeared on local news mediums. Some even attribute her bold actions to the school's girls swim team accepting a Trans* female. Honestly though, she's not even sure she likes all the attention. 

possible face claim(s): Ezra Miller

CHARACTER REQUEST FOR: Emma Lifton

CONTACT INFO: send character account an ask for my skype

CHARACTER REQUESTED: Emma's mother, Cecelia 

DETAILS: I know this might be a long shot, as Emma is thirty five, so her mother would at least need to be fifty five (but older would be better), but I'd love to play out the dynamics between the two. The woman currently lives in new york, but having her move to Cape May for a specific reason would really be fun to play with. 

SPECIFICS: I suggest reading Emma's bio as it gives details of her from Emma's point of view, but I am happy to discuss ideas. 

FC SUGGESTIONS: Meryl Streep, Diane Keaton, Bette Midler

The activity check was due on Tuesday the 17th and many of our players made sure to have their posts done before that time. However we did have a few who didn't. At this time we'd like to ask you to please unfollow:

Sophie Lockhart (Due to personal reasons)

Cyrus Nichols ( Due to Personal reasons, has already deactivated)

Dane Wilson (Failed to post for the activity check)

Thank you to everyone who participated in the check and we look forward to the continued advancement in plots and story lines with your characters!

[freefalling-rpg]

I apologize for the slowness.

Jess, Kayla and myself have all been snowed down with work and some real life things lately, and have been struggling finding time and motivation. However we've all talked and we don't want to see Free Falling fail, so we have all vowed to try harder, and also thought up some things to get more interest in the game. We are also going to be putting out an advert for a new admin. We feel that finding someone with some fresh motivation and ideas might be just the breath of life we need, so keep an eye out for those details. 

Here's what I hope to achieve today: 

Clean up after the AC

Finish the wiki

Post an advert for a new admin

Fill the promo queue

Roll out the new 'notable figure' character skeleton series.
