a few days ago we opened up the site the members of the discord, if you haven’t joined you can find the link a few posts back. those of you that haven’t joined us there and are still interested in the site (and might have a claim on the reserves list) should get in touch with us through pm’s on here to let us know that you aren’t a part of the discord so we can give you the link to the site. the reserves for tumblr / discord users will be expiring tomorrow night at midnight and we don’t want you guys to lose out on claims you won or got to reserve! keep an eye out on the tumblr, we’ll be releasing the link here later tomorrow night! <3
the link was given in our discord, we’re still working on finishing some important codes so the link won’t be released on here until we are sure we are done! basically, we decided to treat it as a soft opening as of right now! if you aren’t a member of the discord, be sure to join it! <3
ready for some exciting news? the site will be opened tonight! we are not releasing the time because we need to confirm a couple of “off work” times with other admins. in apology for that we are going to allow the reserves to be kind of a free for all. what does that mean? you can send in two reserves free of any restrictions so go crazy! please use the same format that was already posted to keep things uniform.
i am also going to release the freestyle app so that you can all start building your characters. there will be an interview and “ship” style as well but you’ll have to wait for those. follow this link to go to the pastebin -  https://pastebin.com/AgPZLBnf
i'm a little confused by the claims thing in regards to male faces. are you saying that we can send in two reserves as long as one of the two claims is male? i wanna understand before i send my reserve in.
hi there! what we don’t want is to have any ratio issues right out of the gate even though we don’t plan to have a ratio rule. so if you are reserving a female that would be your reserve. if you are reserving a male or non-binary face you could reserve two. that could be m/m, m/f, m/nb…the sky is the limit. it’s just an incentive to branch out no harm or confusion meant.
hello everyone!! in the spirit of starting off the new year with a bang, we decided to announce that our reserves are officially opened! typically you would be told at this time that you are only allowed so many claims, however we want to incentivize a second reserve. please pay attention to the following to avoid confusion.
everyone can reserve one claim at this time. however, if your first reserve is a MALE CLAIM, you are allowed to reserve a second claim. this is something that only happens once, so if you claim two males, thats the limit of your claim reserves!Â
you may also reserve for a friend, just send it in a different ask please! use the form below and send us in those reserves!
claim first last (backup 1, backup 2) for alias
if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! we’ll be accepting reserves all the way until the site opens!
hey guys, i was just wondering if you wanted us to refrain from using images of our (desired) face claims in graphics?
you are more than welcome to use your desired claims in your dev posts as long as you understand that its not reserving your face for you! <3 we hope that people seeing you use said claim understands that it means that you want it and won’t take it, however we can’t control the outcome unless you get an early reserve!
so, this is going to be a request for a group of friends who all live on the same floor of the same apartment building and are based on the main characters of the canadian cartoon 6teen (so basically 6teen meets living single/friends). i’ve posted little blurbs about each character on the show just to give you a clue on what that character is like, but you don’t have to make your charrie an exact replica. the things in italics, though, is set in stone. feel free to adjust to fit your charrie better and things can be interpreted in many different ways.Starr isn’t exactly a main character of the show, but why not throw her in too.Â
they don’t all have to be roommates. if you want your charrie to live alone or find some other roommate, that’s okay too. some are friends to one another prior to moving in and some became friends while living there. gender-bending is obviously okay. hopefully we can keep it somewhat as diverse as the actual show was. they’ll all be around 22-26ish. if you have any questions, feel free to inbox me or hit me up on site’s discord. Also, if you want to check the show out, all the episodes are on youtube and you can read more about the characters here (especially for the smaller little character traits like Wyatt’s coffee addictionn and Nikki being a wearer of contacts).Â
Jen Masterson - “the responsible one.” Jen work ethic is the strongest among her friends. She frequently sets or breaks sale records at work, and she considers her job one of the most important parts of her life. Despite this, Jen has occasionally goofed off at work and can be sometimes short sighted. Jen is very goal-oriented and considers herself a leader. However, as a consequence of this, she is often pushy and bossy. Despite this sometimes being a drawback, her focus on strict responsibility has helped at times. Jen is sometimes prone to envy and constantly feels like she’s always in her older sister’s shadow. Has known the Jonesy all her life. Taken by amberlynn
Jude Lizowski - “the hoarder of free-time.” Jude is introduced as a skater without much of a sense of responsibility. e is remarked upon as being irresponsible, but also shows that he has a lot of free time and an affinity for counting things. Jude also quickly shows that he’s generally honest. In addition to being naive about when to lie, Jude is also shown to be very inexperienced romantically. Jude’s interest in goofing off is frequently seen, as in many episodes he does not go to work at all. His interests are aided by his jobs, though, as three of his four jobs were performed without any supervisors. As a result, Jude is often able to goof off and not do much work, although he has occasionally shown himself prone to bursts of work ethic. Jude is generally absent-minded and views the world in a different way and has a tendency to get involved in his own little world, and often carries a subplot by himself because of it. Open
Nikki Wong - “the tomboy-ish one.” Nikki is constantly depicted as an irreverent and snarky girl and took the longest to warm up to the Caitlin who became her roommate a year go. Nikki works at a retail establishment which she absolutely loathes due to its commitment to conformity. She works there because it was one of the only stores that was both hiring and willing to take her on as an employee. While working, Nikki is often lazy and surly and is generally regarded as one of the worst employees there; in fact, she somehow managed to have -5% productivity over the course of a week. Despite this, she has shown an ability to get shit done fast and efficiently when she puts her mind to it. Nikki’s attitude is also somewhat appreciated by her coworkers who like that she leaves all of the commissions to them. In addition to being snarky and sarcastic, Nikki is not much of a romantic. In part, this is attributable to bad experiences in the past. Has a slightly toxic off-and-on relationship with the Jonesy. Despite her sarcastic and often aloof manner, Nikki has been shown to care for her friends deeply, even to the Caitlin. Open
Jonesy Garcia - “the irresponsible slacker.” Jonesy is portrayed as a lazy, irresponsible slacker with a penchant for women (or me…or both). He can never hold a job, despite being able to keep his bills paid and have fun. His jobs are often lost through his laziness, dishonesty, or ignorance of rules. In addition to being unable to hold down a job, Jonesy is also frequently depicted as not very good with women. Despite being able to frequently get women to accept his invitations to date, he is often single. Has a slightly toxic off-and-on relationship with the Nikki. Despite often appearing shallow, Jonesy cares deeply for his friends. Jonesy is also an inveterate prankster. Has known the Jen all his life. Open
Caitlin Cooke - “the new girl.” Caitlin has only moved into the apartment in the past year or so and is roommates with The Nikki. she used to being spoiled and getting whatever she wants, but recently, her parents cut her off and she is forced to actually get a job, an apartment, etc all on her own. She initially shows no work ethic and very little grasp of how life works as still tries to live a materialistic lifestyle despite not exactly being able to afford it. Caitlin’s two obsessions are shopping and boys/girls/both/whatever. She was a massive shopper before she was cut off and even after having to get a job, she kept track of several sales and was often seen shopping for clothes. She loves keeping up with fashions and looking nice. Caitlin seems very in love with the idea of love, frequently referring to her newest flames as “The One." Despite Caitlin’s frequent self-absorption, she has frequently proven herself to be a good friend, even to the Nikki who is the least fond of her. Open
Wyatt Williams - “the aspiring musician” As a young man who fancies himself somewhat more mature than his friends, Wyatt quickly shows himself to be a musician as he mentions that he can play guitar on the subway for quarters, and reveals that he is rather compassionate. Wyatt also shows that he is not as close to Jude or Jonesy as they are to each other. He is an accomplished songwriter, singer, and guitarist. Although Wyatt is a musician and considers his music one of the defining traits of his character, he is also one of the most responsible members of the gang, often acting as the responsible one of the guys just as Jen is the responsible girl. Despite being very responsible, this responsibility leads him to occasionally act uptight. Whenever Wyatt starts being more uptight than normal, however, his friends often point out how he’s acting, and Wyatt takes steps to correct it. Wyatt’s sense of responsibility extends to his relationships and he often has a hard time asking women out. When he does get into relationships that stay steady, Wyatt falls very hard and takes break ups even harder. In addition to often staying in steady relationships, Wyatt has worked the fewest number of jobs of any of the guys. Due to being the most responsible guy in the group, Wyatt is closer to the girls than Jonesy and Jude–and, consequently, not as close to either of them as they are to each other. As a result, Wyatt is frequently left out of Jonesy and Jude’s schemes, and he is on occasion portrayed as being closer to Nikki than he is to either of his male friends. Despite this, though, Wyatt is still very close to his male friends, and spends plenty of time with them. Open
Starr - “the new age enthusiast” Starr is a vegan and a New Age enthusiast. She’s somewhat of an oddball with a strange outlook on life, like Jude whom she is most close with. Starr enjoys telling stories, despite being perceived as boring by most of the group. Like Jude, she is interested in skateboarding and watching fountain diving (the act of falling into the fountain head first), as well as yoga, poetry reading, and is into spirituality (along the lines of crystals, oracle, tarot, etc). Very outdoorsy, despite the rain, and enjoys rollerblading everywhere. She and the Jude have dated (she was his first kiss), but they remained close friends after the split. While she deeply cares for the Jude, she no longer has feelings for him, even though he still does. Open
Request for Mikayla’s sister** and love interest.
(if you want to rp an unrequited love polt, this is the request for you).
— McQueen, 28-32, open face*, open membergroup. open
So this is Mikayla’s older sister**, lets call her Camryn. they two were never really close since they’re at least 5 years apart (Mikayla is 22/3). Growing up, Camryn has always been known as “the golden child.” She was active in school and out of school with sports, leadership positions, work, etc. She has always had a massive amount of friends, always the life of the party. Accepted with full or almost full rides to every college she applied to and has an amazing career. Mikayla always felt like she lived in her Camryn’s shadow, like she had to catch up to her perfect” older sister. There’s definitely resentment towards her.Â
Of course, Camryn’s life wasn’t as perfect as Mikayla and everyone else believed it to be. Why it isn’t perfect is up to you, of course. She probably even had a little envy towards Mikayla growing up because there wasn’t as much pressure to be perfect on her little sister as it was for her. Her best friend (which is the guy requested below) has been in her life for yearssss. Lets call him Jace). Maybe even starting from when they were younger. (He’s pretty much her other half in a platonic way…or at least that’s how it’s always been, despite what majority of people have believed growing up. That changes for Camryn, though, after her best friend starts dating her little sister.Â
At first, it was just a “whatever, don’t hurt my little sister or ill kill you”, but after it starts to seem more serious than what the two are saying, it starts to bother her. I mean really bother her. After she and Mikayla get into a fight that about Jace, (Mikayla accusing Camryn of having feelings for him), she starts to wonder if that’s true. She’s never looked at Jace in that way, but maybe, somewhere down the line, she did start to see him that way. And if Jace had dated someone, which obviously he’s done before, she was always indifferent about them. Not rude, but also not overly polite either. But her little sister? That definitely struck some cords she didn’t know were there.
* Mikayla’s face will be Zendaya Coleman, so this character should have some resemblance to that.Â
** Also, this could DEFINITELY work if you want to make “Camryn” a “Cameron” (male character) who has always identified as straight, but became aware of his feelings for his best friend after Jace starts dating Mikayla.
— —-, 28-32, preferred playby: bob morley, open membergroup. open
So this here is Jace (name is changable) and he is Mikayla’s sibling (in the section above)’s absolute best friend. He also is Mikayla’s love interest***. He’s always been around and has known Mikayla for as long as she’s been born, however, he never paid much attention to her when they were younger. She was always “Camryn**’s annoying little sister.” Now that she’s older…well…Mikayla’s grown up…at lot. They run into each other randomly (possibly grocery shopping or something very mundane) and its all “I haven’t seen you in years, how have you been, what have you been up to, etc.” One of their phone rings and they have to cut it short.
Later that week, Jace randomly stops in to Mikayla’s job (she works at a bakery…that also sells edibles) and they chat while he’s picking up an order for ____. As he’s leaving, he turns back and asks if she wants to get drinks later (under the gist of catching up) and she accepts. When they go get drinks at a bar/club, it goes really well. The drinks are flowing, they’re chatting it up and they even dance…closely. they end up going back to his place (wink wink). Mikayla’s phone goes off the next (late) morning and she’s running late for work. As she’s re-dressing and about to head out the door, they say they have fun and exchange numbers.Â
They text, snapchat, etc constantlyyy and go out a few more times before Jace tells his best friend, a little nervous about the reaction, especially because of the age different. The best friend is oddly cool about it, except for the whole “hurt her and i’ll kill you” speech. Jace and Mikayla keep it exclusive but casual. They don’t date anyone else, but they don’t label what they’re doing. Definitely more than friends with benefits, but there’s not boyfriend/girlfriend label, which neither is pressed about. Its fun and takes off the pressure.Â
Things get a little strained between him and his best friend as Mikayla and Jace continue to date. Jace isn’t exactly sure why but he definitely doesn’t like the tense air around them. They always seem to get into little arguments that fizzle out just as fast as they flame up. They do built up, though, and he can definitely notice how his best friend’s attitude is affect Mikayla and his relationship with her. (read the last paragraph of the request above to see what the whole issue is).
*** Jace and Mikayla aren’t exactly finals (though I do want them to last). Of course, things happen, though, and break/break ups are bound to happen (if the plot heads in that direct, of course). I picture Jace as heterosexual, or at least does not see his best friend in the same way s/he does him. (Sorry Camryn**) So, if you want to place him somewhere else on the binary, feel free to do so. It’s just him reciprocating feelings for his best friend is not a part of his life prophecy. (soz)
So yeah, they’re pretty much open as far as age, occupation, membergroup, etc. they’ve both definitely lived in cypress, washington all their lives, though. I’d really like to keep the love interest’s face as bob morley (unless he gets snagged then feel free to give suggestions or i’ll find some more). feel free to hit me up in my ask or on discord (simplyambyy#4221) if you are interested or have any questions
