Digging Deeper/Task

Does your character have any nicknames?: Juliette Elizabeth Rhee- Juliette means youthful, Elizabeth means oath of God, and her surename Rhee means from a place. She was named by her birth mother and her adoptive accepted it. She is often called Jett though because she was very quick as a kid.

Post a picture of your character or describe what they look like in detail. Note any distinguishing facial features.

Describe your character’s personality.: Jett is social and upbeat for the most part, but she bottles up the things that bother her the most. She loves cracking jokes and making things a competition. She’s hard headed and stubborn to a fault, but also a determined hard worker otherwise. Jett is a loyal friend though, and willing to be a shoulder to lean on when need be. The girl has her reckless side as well. Looking for love in all the wrong places.

What is your character like in relationships? Are they clingy? Faithful or unfaithful? Do they jump from one relationship to the other?: Jett is loyal though has a fear of abandonment for sure. She’s not overly clingy but likes to keep them close. Certainly faithful, and she does get a bit flighty in her relationships depending.

What kind of things does your character like? What do they dislike?: Jett loves tacos, sunny summer mornings, star wars, horror movies and comedies, obsessing over her favorite celebrities, watching movies, coloring in adult coloring books, sports, camping, and swimming. Some dislikes are the color yellow, a cheater meaning in a relationship, today’s pop music because it’s too upbeat in her opinion, has a fear of fire and is triggered by blood meaning she would pass out at the sight, early mornings, and when she runs out of coffee.

How does your character treat their friends and family? How about strangers? Enemies?

What kind of people does your character surround themselves with? Why?: Jett left her family behind, but they weren’t that close when she was at home. She treats her friends with respect and expects the same in return. As far as enemies go she can be snappy and push them away. She likes to keep the lesser at a arms length of course.

Where was your character born? Where have they lived since then? Where is the place that they call home?: Born in Tempe Arizona and lived there the first few months of her life. then moved to Chicago to live with her adoptive family, and then moved onto Montreal where she calls home.

Where does your character go when they are angry?: Her own apartment. Hides away, throws things, has her own pity party.

Has your character ever been in love? Have they ever had a broken heart?: Never been in love but she has her heart broken by a boyfriend before when she was in high school.

Does your character have any flaws? What are they?: Jett keeps things bottled up and hidden well. She also always puts people above herself to the point she can get harmed.

Then dig deeper by asking more unconventional questions:

What is in your characters refrigerator right now? On their bedroom floor? On their nightstand?: Jett has a few take out boxes and condiments in her fridge, but not much else. She buys on the go on what she can afford. Her bedroom is neat minus a few tossed about cloths and books. Nightstand would hold her phone, a small lamp, and her planner that she needs to use more.

Your character is walking home in the dark when they hear some noises around the corner. What do they do? How would they react if they heard someone crying out for help?: Jett would cautiously investigate then try and help if she can. If it is above her means she would call the police right away and try to proved a distraction.

When your character thinks of their childhood kitchen, what smell do they associate with it? Sauerkraut? Oatmeal cookies? Paint? Why is that smell so resonant?: Jett recalls the smell of chocolate chip pancakes in the morning. Her father’s coffee, and the lemon floor cleaner her mom used.

Your character is doing intense spring cleaning. What is easy for them to throw out? What is difficult for them to part with? Why?: Jett doesn’t hoard so most things go if it has no value. She likes a neat place really. She only hoards photographs that she takes with her polarid camera.

It is Saturday at noon. What is your character doing? Give details. If they’re eating breakfast, what exactly do they eat? If they’re stretching out in the backyard to sun, what kind of blanket or towel do they lie on?: Jett is only just getting up at noon to be honest. She would get up and take a quick shower. Laze around in only a baggy t-shirt with her wet hair down to curl naturally. She won’t straight it on a Saturday. She gets a cup of coffee with peppermint creamer if it’s the holiday’s, but caramel otherwise. She likes to browse instagram and facebook from her phone and make a post or two. Then she eventually gets dressed and texts some friends to go hang out.

While driving down the road, your character hits a dog and swerves off the road into a tree. Do they get out to see to the car first, or the animal?: Animal. Absolutely the animal.

Your character is in a relationship and they come home to find their partner in bed with another person. How do they react? How do they feel?: Jett would be pissed first. Throw something at him, scream and shout. then she would cry in her own place and hide out. She would be devastated.

What is one strong memory that has stuck with your character from childhood? Why is it so powerful and lasting?: The visits with her birth family since it was an open adoption. She got gifts and spent a good amount of time with them. They were a second family deep down.

#mrp: task

Vera Nixon, local fashion designer and active member of the community, was found dead this morning in her black Mercedes. The other driver involved in the crash, an unnamed teenage boy, was brought in by police for questioning.

Nixon, 49, was returning home after dropping her children off at school. Officers believe she hadn’t seen the driver swerve into the opposing lane until it was too late. Marks at the scene suggest she attempted to maneuver out of the way, but was unsuccessful. The car was struck on the driver’s side and Nixon was pronounced dead at the scene.

Nixon is survived by four children; both parents, Lucas and Annabelle; and two siblings, Logan and Coraline. Our reporterss have reached out to her estranged husband for comment but haven’t received a response.

“Anyone that knew her loved her. She was a piece of sunshine,” Logan Black, Nixon’s brother, commented this morning. Black and his wife recently moved to Montreal to be closer to his sister, and are devastated with the news. “We can’t believe she’s gone.”

A public service will be held on Monday at 10 AM followed by a private service for close friends and family. A lunch in her honor will be served at an unknown location. When we receive more details, we will update.

That was her life?

Almost fifty fucking years old, and that was it?

No one wanted to talk about how hard she worked to franchise her store, the impossible efforts she went to for her fashion line, or the countless hours she dedicated to her children? Bullshit. It was all bullshit. There’s nothing real there, nothing that tells people who she was.

She wasted her entire life on being sweet, agreeable, doing whatever it took to please people... and that’s all she got for it? What a fucking waste.

#mrp: task #this is bad #don't read this either #:3 #tw death #tw car accident

Hey everyone! So we’ve decided to bring forth our fourth development task. This task is a writing task, think of it as a self para or a future look on your character. The topic is a little grim, but in my own experiences I learned I always had a head canon about this when writing my character. It doesn’t have to be canon, it can also be written in an AU sense of style. So you can go crazy, set down worst case scenarios or best case scenarios. You can even write multiple ones if you’re in the mood for it! It’s not mandatory, but it might be fun to explore that area a little.

DEATH OR REBIRTH?

In this writing task you will be figuring out your character’s death. Very grim, I know, but I know plenty of people who found inspiration from writing their muse’s end, also to find out what they have missed in their life which can eventually perhaps lead to more ideas for threads while alive. Like said above, this can be canon, but it can also be an AU. If you want to write your character dying in a violent act while you actually just want them to die comfortably in bed of old age, you totally can! It’s to test your writing skills. Writing your character’s death is a great boost for angsty writing.

Don’t feel like writing your character’s death? You can also write about what happened after. Did they put someone in their will? Will they be remembered by a child or a relative? Will someone stumble upon their grave one day and think about what kind of life they would have lived? Go crazy with this one. There’s no time limit, so take all the time you’d like.

READY TO POST?

Then when you’re ready to post tag your creations and writing with MRP: Task! This way everyone can see them and read what you wrote! If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask us! Enjoy!

Sex & Intimacy Questions

Would you consider yourself straight, gay, bi, or something else? Why? Straight

Who was the first person you had sex with? When did it happen? What was it like? How well did it go? It was a co-star in Hollywood. She was a little bit older than me like seventeen, and I was fifteen. It happened one day after work in her trailer and it was pretty awkward. She wanted to lose her virginity before she turned eighteen and I had no clue what I was doing. I think we both thought it was amazing that night, but the next morning we acted really weird with one another. Needless to say most first times suck.

Have you ever had a same-sex experience? Who with, what was it like, and how did it go? No, but I wouldn’t be against it. A guy kissed me once for work, but that’s not the same thing.

What is your deepest, most well-hidden sexual fantasy? Would you ever try it? I can be just a little into a girl dominating the hell out of me-- alright a lot into it. But then I like to do the same in return to her. Also, public sex can be kind of a turn on. I don’t know if I have a huge fantasy I’m hiding. I’m game to try anything at least once.

What was the wildest thing you’ve ever done, sexually? Who was it with and when did it happen? Some things should be kept secret for legal purposes, haha.

Is there any sexual activity that you enjoy and/or practice regularly that can be considered non-standard? (Bondage, Fantasy Play, etc.) Why do you like it? Nah, like I said I enjoy a mixed bag and will do anything once.

Is there any sexual activity that you will not, under any circumstances, do? Yes, anything with human body fluids. That’s gross and I will never be into that.

Do you currently have a lover? What is their name, and what is your relationship like? What are they like? Why are you attracted to them? Nope.

What is the perfect romantic date? I’m not giving away all my secrets. But I usually tailor it to the girl and what she likes.

Describe the perfect romantic partner for you. Someone that understand the high pressure or my job and knows that I would only have eyes for her. Someone that could be my best friend, wants to travel, but also wouldn’t mind settling down at some point in the near-ish future. I’m a simple guy at heart and so I’d want that girl with a good heart to match.

Do you ever want to get married and have children? When do you see this happening? Yes, I want both. Sometime within the next 2-5 years.

What is more important - sex or intimacy? Why? Both, I think sex is one of the best ways to connect with your partner. It keeps you connected to one another. Also, the intamacy is great and it has you connected emotinally and sharing everything sometimes without words. I think both are equally important.

What was your most recent relationship like? Who was it with? (Does not need to be sexual, merely romantic.) It was with a girl named Holly and we went out for a while. It didn’t end that well and that’s all I really want t say about it.

What’s the worst thing you’ve done to someone you loved? I think I got scared and I didn’t let myself fully get involved in the relationship.

Drug & Alcohol Questions

How old were you when you first got drunk? What was the experience like? Did anything good come out of it? Did anything bad come out of it? Fourteen and I hated myself the next morning. Yeah, I had a great time with some friends. Yes, vomit and it was terrible.

Do you drink on any kind of regular basis? Yeah, I guess so. Just socially though or to unwind after a long day.

What kind of alcohol do you prefer? I’m not picky.

Have you ever tried any other kind of “mood altering” substance? Which one(s)? What did you think of each? Just weed brownies. It was fine, but I mean nothing to write home about.

What do you think of drugs and alcohol? Are there any people should not do? Why or why not? I’m not a fan of drugs and alcohol is pretty great. Yes, those that have a problem with it.

Morality Questions

What one act in your past are you most ashamed of? What one act in your past are you most proud of? I would say I’m most ashamed of sometimes pushing people away. My career and how I’ve used what I have to help others through charity and etc.

Have you ever been in an argument before? Over what, with who, and who won? Who wasn’t been in one? My mom and she probably won. It was usually over my career.

Have you ever been in a physical fight before? Over what, with who, and who won? Nah, only on set, but that’s for work.

What do you feel most strongly about? People. I like people and I wish I could protect all of them from the bad things in this world. I like getting into their heads as far as acting goes and getting to know the characters I play.

What do you pretend to feel strongly about, just to impress people? Nothing.

What trait do you find most admirable, and how often do you find it? Compassion, true compassion for others and their issues. Very rarely.

Is there anything you think should not be incorporated into the media or art (sex, violence, greed, etc.,)? If so, what and why, and if not, why not? Nope, i think it should all be in there. We need to know what is out there and if anything I don’t think we include enough-- we can’t censor the kids or anyone forever. If we can shed light on these issues in a respectable way-- it might be for the better.

Do you have any feelings in general that you are disturbed by? What are they? Why do they disturb you? I guess feeling alone or seeing someone get really angry messes with me. It just rubs me the wrong way to see people act out like that.

What is your religious view of things? What religion, if any, do you call your own? I guess I would say Christianity. I’ve never thought too much about it, but my mom said we were Christian. We went to church every Sunday until I was five.

Do you think the future is hopeful? Why? Yeah, I do. I always think better things are coming for us.

Is an ounce of prevention really worth a pound of cure? Which is more valuable? Why do you feel this way? This is the first time I’ve heard this so I don’t know what I think, haha.

What’s the worst thing that can be done to another person? Why? Way too many things so I can’t list any. Anything that hurts another human being is pretty awful.

What’s the worst thing you could actually do to someone you hated? I’ve never truly hated anyone. I guess it would be just to hate them, maybe say some bad things about them? I don’t really act out on my anger very often.

Are you a better leader or follower? Why do you think that? If you think the whole leader-follower archetype is a crock of shit, say so, and explain why? Leader I guess. I’m not afraid to take control or the lead if needed, but I don’t mind staying behind either if someone has it handled.

What is your responsibility to the world, if any? Why do you think that? To portray the characters I am given to the best of my ability and to leave a good mark on it. I just do, it’s an honor to get those roles and because we should leave the world a little better than we found it.

Do you think redemption is possible? If so, can anyone be redeemed, or are there only certain circumstances that can be? If not, why do you think nothing can redeem itself? Yes, but you have to want it and work for it. You also need to accept that not everyone will be able to forgive you and you have to live with that.

Is it okay for you to cry? When was the last time you cried? I don’t really cry very often, I guess. I don’t know-- for roles I do-- for me, not so much. A while ago.

What do you think is wrong with MOST people, overall? They can be too into themselves and it makes them act arrogant.

Miscellaneous Questions

What is the thing that has frightened you most? Do you think there is anything out there that’s scarier than that? What do you think that would be? I don’t want to talk about it.

Has anyone or anything you’ve ever cared about died? How did you feel about it? What happened? My mom. I felt awful, how do you think I felt? Car accident, I was the only one that survived.

What was the worst injury you’ve ever received? How did it happen? Several fractures, lacerations and more from the car accident.

How ticklish are you? Where are you ticklish? I’m not answering this, it gives you incentive to tickle me.

What is your current long term goal? To continue to get roles and make a difference with them. On a personal level it would be to find the one.

What is your current short term goal? Settle in and make Montreal my home.

Do you have any bad habits? If so, what are they, and do you plan to get rid of them? I bite my nails and stay up way too late. I try, but they both always comes back to bite me in the ass.

What time period do you wish you had lived in? Why? (Looking at this as an attempt to change history doesn’t count.) What appeals to you about this era? The 20s seemed like a cool era, but I like where I’m at.

How private of a person are you? Why? Pretty private. People don’t need to know about my personal life. A lot of my life is already in the public eye and honestly they don’t really want to know, trust me.

If you were to gain an obscenely large sum of money (via an inhertiance, a lawsuit, a lottery, or anything else) what would you do with it? I would save it and donate a good chunk of it. I know that’s boring, but it’s the truth.

What would you wish for if you found a genie? I honestly have no clue. I guess I would wish to find the one, to continue to have a successful career and save the last wish for when I really need it.

What do you do when you are bored? Read, watch Netflix, hang out with some friends.

What is the most frightening potential handicap or disfigurement you can conceive of? What makes it so frightening? I guess not being able to use my legs again or losing a limb. It would make things so much harder and that would be pretty scary. I don’t know that I would do well with that type of change in my life.

What is her biggest fear? Who has she told this to? Who would she never tell this to? Why?// Failing basically. Failing at life, failing at work, failing as a friend and so on.

What makes your character laugh out loud?// Silly jokes like knock knock jokes or dirty jokes.

When has your character been in love? Had a broken heart?// John was the love of her life before his death, and she was completely crushed when he died in the car accident.

What is in your character’s refrigerator right now? On her bedroom floor? On her nightstand? In her garbage can?: The fridge at the moment has some asparagus, milk, butter, defrosting chicken she means to cook tonight, bagels, strawberry cream cheese, all kosher hot dogs, a few bottles of water, oranges, lettuce, fat free italian dressing, fat free blue cheese dressing, ketchup, strawberries, and left over tuna casserole. Bedroom floor would be a couple books, magazines, that mornings pajama’s, and a few pair of shoes. Night stand has a skinny lamp with a maroon shade, day planner, phone charging station and blue tooth speaker. The garbage would have the half a bagel she couldn’t finish before work, coffee grounds, Chinese take out boxes, and empty blueberry container. She doesn’t usually let it get too full.

Look at your character’s feet. Describe what you see there. Does he wear dress shoes, gym shoes, or none at all? Is he in socks that are ratty and full of holes? Or is he wearing a pair of blue and gold slippers knitted by his grandmother?: Lori wears a pair of classic black high heels for work, comfortable pastel pink flats for her casual off days or even the plain flip flops on warm days, and jogging shoes that are white and blue for when she knows she is going to the park or walking the trails.

When your character thinks of her childhood kitchen, what smell does she associate with it? Sauerkraut? Oatmeal cookies? Paint? Why is that smell so resonant for her?// Mostly burnt food smell. Her parents weren’t the best cooks, and if not that then paint and sawdust when her step dad liked to renovate.

Your character is doing intense spring cleaning. What is easy for her to throw out? What is difficult for her to part with? Why?// Old paperwork can go as well as old cloths. The hard things to part with are trinkets from trips or dolls from her childhood though she has far too many to be healthy.

She has oatmeal with strawberry slices in and a cup of coffee in it. From there she gets dressed for the day and takes her coffee outside with her laptop to get some work done before the weekends over. After that she goes out to lunch with a friend but if not she goes to a favorite cafe downtown to eat. After some errand running and shopping, Lori goes home to watch some movies and relax. If she isn’t tired than that’s replaced with a quick change at home so she can go walk the trails at the local park. The night ends with a bubble bath and comfy pajamas at about midnight.

What is one strong memory that has stuck with your character from childhood? Why is it so powerful and lasting?// Splitting her time between her mom’s and dad’s. It was always so crazy to switch on the weekends or on some holidays. She remembers the constant back and forth.

Who will she be with?// A girls night out means her favorite black dress and a good high heel that gives a splash of color. Typically blue or pink.
