Some people say that Evelyn looks a lot like ZOË KRAVITZ. Her faceclaim is semi-negotiable and she is currently AVAILABLE.

What was the most interesting thing about Evelyn Abebe? Well, what wasn’t? Armed with a mastery of all things architecture and design and dazzling mixed British-American accents that she can switch on and off at the drop of a hat, Eve has definitely made her place in the world.

Born an only child to her two, loving parents - her mother from upstate New York, and her father from Notting Hill, London - Eve has had dual citizenship since she was born. Her family lived prim and proper in the UK up until she was seven years old, when they made the big move across the ocean to live closer to her mother’s side of the family in New York. Her life was still lavish and sophisticated there; upstate New York is nothing if not known for the rich and haughty families that occupy it. In exchange for good behavior, high marks in all of her classes, and maintaining her extracurriculars (piano, violin, and competitive tennis), Evelyn wanted for nothing. She got everything she ever wanted, including two supportive-but-strict parents.

Come time for college, Columbia was the only possible option. Ivy League was the expectation. Architecture, however, was entirely her choice and it could not have been a more perfect fit. It was the perfect amount of exact science mixed with a healthy dose of creativity that, combined, managed to keep her satisfied. Since moving the the City, she has completed her Bachelors and Masters programs with ease, and now, she’s finishing up her internship in preparation for her licensure. She’s well-respected amongst her colleagues and coworkers; they’ve even offered a full time position once she’s licensed.

When she’s not at her internship, she’s earning her share of her rent money as an interior designer. Yes - she designs both the inside and the outside of her clients’ projects, and if you ask her, that only makes her all the more qualified for a position in the top design firms in the City (and yes, you can expect her to vie for those positions even with her current job offer).

And if that’s not enough, she still manages a rich and healthy social life. She visits her family upstate once a month, she’s got a small but close circle of friends, and nearly everyone who interacts with her has something nice to say. She’s bold, serious, and independent, and sometimes that comes across as being uptight, but everyone who’s taken more than five minutes to get to know her knows that boldness covers a natural, witty charm. She’s nearly got it all - a fulfilling career, a loving family, and loyal friends - and yet, she’s still plagued by the question... what’s next?

Upper West-Side Brownstone - It’s not a very big building but she quickly prioritised introducing herself to her fellow renters, unlike her busy-body roommate, Amanda Scott.

Some people say that Jake looks a lot like NICHOLAS HOULT. His faceclaim is negotiable and his is currently AVAILABLE.

Jake always knew he’d end up studying literature in New York at Columbia, but he didn’t expect to be teaching it. Here he is though: first official year as an English Literature professor, now working at the college he once dreamed of getting to attend as a student.

He really gelled with his own professor during college, and it was him that gave Jacob the opportunity to become a student-teacher. Having moved to town from Philadelphia, Jake has quickly fallen for the city’s charm and its people and swore he’d never go back. After several semesters of working under his professor as a teacher’s assistant whilst he himself was completing his master’s program, the day finally came when Jacob was invited to work alongside him as an equal.

He was one of the youngest professors to teach at the college and his older peers were full of praise. Jake took pride in his students’ grades; their averages higher than most other professors’ students, and he suspects he took a lot of the other staff by surprise with his success. He’s surprised, too, frankly; his climb to the top has been remarkably smooth.

...Except there is this one girl.

He truly hadn’t known that she was a student when he asked for her number, but it became clear after their fourth or fifth run in together that he was in a sticky, morally ambiguous predicament. He doesn’t know her name or age or even her major - it’s not as if she’s in any of his classes - although he suspects it has something to do with dance, if her usual attire is anything to go by. That, and the fact that he caught her in an empty auditorium once, gentle steps barely making a sound as she danced pirouettes across the stage. He’d swiftly slipped out of the large hall before he could be seen.

He doesn’t want to paint himself in any kind of way -the new young professor trying to hook up with college students- so, since coming to the conclusion that she’s a student, Jacob has spent more time avoiding her than seeking her out. The girl’s number has been left untouched in his phone, an especially sad circumstance given his usual timidness with women.

So what if part of his dream life is a dreamy relationship? He just needs to focus on establishing himself as a professional and distinguished professor, rather than getting mixed up in a student-teacher romance within his first year on the job. The romance part will sort itself out when she’s graduated and gone.

Relationships:

Amanda Scott - She was sipping coffee at a local park when they got chatting about something futile on a bench and eventually exchanged numbers. Jake didn't catch her name at their first encounter, but when he saw her in the auditorium and came to conclusion that she was a student, he couldn’t bring himself to delete the number, instead changing the contact from ‘girl from the park’ to ‘the dancer’. As Jake begins to avoid the dancer, trying his best not get involved with a student at such an early point in his career, Amanda is completely unaware of his mistake - she’s still waiting for that text he’d promised.

Upper West-Side Brownstone - The Upper West-Side brownstone is nothing lavish in comparison to some of the other accommodations in New York, but it’s far from standard living, every inch of the Georgian-style house having been fixed up and retouched. It’s not a very big building but, as he finds himself hiding around corners and rushing into his apartment more and more with each day to hide from the mystery dancer, Jacob is only just realising that she is living somewhere within the building, too.

Some people say that Erin looks a lot like ALISHA BOE. Her faceclaim is semi-negotiable and she is currently AVAILABLE.

All Erin ever knew was lights. Growing up in Las Vegas meant that she was surrounded by light, laughter and life – always. After sixteen years of lusting after the lifestyle she was forbidden to be a part off, the young lady got her first fake ID, and suddenly the city was hers. She wasn’t popular in high school -she seemed to anonymously simply co-exist with most of the people there- but outside of those walls, she had more than just a name – she had a meaning.

It was easy for Erin to lose touch with the real world. She’d be out until the early hours and return to her parents whom had grown immune to her antics after only a few months of repetition. That was, until she began to come home too drunk or too high or not at all for days at a time – escorted by the police on several occasions. She began to miss classes, lose grades, and lose interest in anything but the nightlife she’d always strived to be at one with. Her parents kept quiet despite their concern, which is why it came as such a shock when she was sent away.

Denver was nothing like Vegas. The juvenile delinquency center wasn’t close to her precious night life and there were no neon lights to send her to sleep. She would (attempt to) sleep in the dark and be forced awake at six in the morning for school. The girls there were hostile and had no interest in meeting new people in the way that Erin so naturally did, and it left her to wander alone from one day to the next.

With a tendency to lash out with frustration, Erin wasn’t released from the center until a little over a year later. Despite spending her time away just waiting to return to her hometown, the girl, on a whim, headed for the east coast. She had no money, no friends, no idea how she managed, but somehow Erin hitchhiked and bargained her way to New York in less than two weeks’ time. It wasn’t quite Vegas, but it was close enough, and so it was where she stayed and, over time, she made new connections and a place for herself.

Relationships

Employee at Othello - Spending most of her time out on the floor selling shots, Erin has one of the only jobs in the club that allows her to get a little tipsy. The owner had realised pretty early on that she had a knack for charming free drinks out of their customers so he decided that, if it meant more profits, he could look past her having a couple of shots on the job. This, she often thinks, is what I’m best at.

Some people say that Jessica looks a lot like ZOEY DEUTCH. Her faceclaim is negotiable and she is currently AVAILABLE.

Growing up in New Jersey, caught up in the grunge scene since the age of fifteen, Jessica always had a hard time taking things seriously. School was just a way to see her friends, with classes being a place to mooch around and waste time making snide remarks and cheap one-liners. She was never a cruel person, by any means, and you’d never find her making a joke at the expense of another’s feelings, but Jess couldn’t go more than a few hours without a little self-made entertainment.

You’d usually find her at the back corner of the class, chewing gum and flicking paper, - your typical ‘too cool for school, too scared to drop out’ girl – and her personality never changed, even after finishing school and later moving on to work at a club in town. There, she’d spend most of her time drinking on the job and dancing during shifts, never once getting called out for her lack of professionalism.

She moved East Harlem at the age of nineteen when she came out as bisexual to her parents and her relationship with them became a little strained, but she had plenty of friends to fall back on. Jess would always make friends with all the right people, making connections where she needed them in order to remain stable with her hotel bartending job, her landlord (whom she rarely paid on time) and her friends, who never seemed to get tired of her antics.

Jess has always been bold and likeable, even when she was dragging on jokes for too long or turning serious situations into a laughing matter. She had a way of making people frustrated, then charming them into forgetting all about it. Her friends would stand by her willingly, whilst somehow also knowing that if they were to ever wrong her, she’d be sure to have the last laugh.

Relationships

Ex-employee at Othello - Her employment at Othello didn't end on bad terms, but Jessica found that working most evenings when she could be out drinking with friends simply didn't fit with her lifestyle. It just wasn't as much fun behind the bar, but she and Jack are still on great terms and she often gets a drink or two on the house when she visits the club.

Employee at the Harrison Hotel - Having worked part-time at the hotel for a couple of months, Jessica still doesn't know a lot about the owner but is quite happy with her twenty-hour workweeks. You'd think she would've quit by now, what with the obnoxious wannabe elites that frequent the place and speak to her like she's a nobody. Honestly, though, she just loves getting to laugh about them later with her friends - and if she has to pull a subtle, harmless prank or two to get her through the day, then that's her business.

OI MY CROC IS IN THE LAKE.

[lefeuvre-academyrp]

Mina Hahn is a sixteen year old sophomore who originally attended Lefeuvre Academy. Mina lives in Patrice House & is on the culinary track. Her faceclaim is Arden Cho and she is available.

past ;

Born in Seoul, South Korea, Mina and her parents moved to the US when she was three years old. It was no shock that she never attended public school—her parents were a scientist and a doctor, why should they give their daughter anything but the best? As a result, Mina has always been driven to succeed. Everything about her childhood reads like an award ceremony: perfect attendance throughout elementary school, highest test average in middle school French, most improved performance in the tap class she took last summer. Although she does occasionally clash with her parents, the entire Hahn family does their best to always support each other. Seeing Lefeuvre’s excellent academic standing made her determined to attend and make her parents proud. While they don’t necessarily approve of her choice of concentration, they are proud of her achievements at Lefeuvre, whether those achievements are academic, athletic, or personal. Mina has found the school to be beneficial in reminding her that not everything is about the competition in life and more about enjoying the ride.

personality ;

Mina is very interested in other people. Either through  people-watching or interacting directly, you can always trust her to be alert, engaged, and very talkative. You can’t, however, trust her to be smooth. With a brain that works ten times faster than her mouth, Mina is no stranger to finding her foot in the latter. She will admit to being forced a bit flaky, but prides herself on her improvements where time management is concerned.
