Ian Harding
First off, Ian is just an underappreciated fc and I will fight anyone who says otherwise. But of course my first thought when I see him is my dear sweet Declan Everett. For real, you taking my wanted connection has been one of my best experiences. I had this idea of what kind of guy I had in mind for it but then you messaged me about it and as we went back and forth about his, bouncing off of each other’s creativity and next thing I knew you had created exactly what I wanted so perfectly for him. Like even more so than I first thought. The thing I love about Declan is his maturity and I know that sounds like a funny thing to say, but it’s actually more rare in male character’s than you would think. Because I think that mature can make people think boring when creating a character but you have done such a great job at establishing him as this mature man but making it interesting and just seeing how he handles situations because of it. Just through hc of their past and what we are currently writing now I love the balance you have of him showing his heart while trying to hold on to his emotions at the same time. I love how gentle he is in everything he does. In his kindness and his anger he still has this grace about him. I’ve loved being able to write opposite of him and just having the way the character handles things be a challenge to my writing because again you’ve just done such a great job at showing that having a mature character can still be exciting to write/read.
Emily Vancamp
I have had a couple experiences with Emily before and nothing negative, but again Vera Rollins is what comes to mind. Wow. Wowwww. Let’s just say I never thought that Vera would become what she did to my character Flynn. I was expecting immature fights and fun, but instead, it has turned into nothing but heartbreak and I absolutely love it! I’m going to echo a little bit on a thought I wrote for Zach that fits Vera as well and that I loveeee that you are consistent with her. Again you have the “bad girl” character that didn’t just all of the sudden change because of love. No instead you showed that Vera has this very fragile vulnerability that comes in sparse moments while still having this harsh tongue and hardened way about her. I like that you don’t change her for threads or plots. When you think she might cave she comes back swinging and for Flynn that is frustrating as heck but for me, as a writer, I think it is so great. She is a wild card but in a way that makes sense for who she is. She is two sides of a coin with her harsh outlook and yet her deep unspoken desire to feel the softness of love. Each thread is such a joy to write because it’s unpredictable with her.
Torrey Devitto
I have two Torrey opps and I love them both so much.
First is @onehopthistime Michelle. While most of what we have done with that character is hc, I adore Michelle. She is the kind of character that I root for to do things that would be deemed bad but it’s because I want what is best for her, which is Oliver, okay?? But for real she is the kind that you want to scream at to be selfish but understand why she isn’t. I really suck at 1x1′s but I’m excited to get more into her character because of those reasons.
Then there is Vienna Ricci. Tripp’s sweet darling fwb. I had random interactions with her, and we had the friendship between them that was amuseing but yes it wasn’t until me bringing Tripp back that I have gotten the chance to know Vienna more than just the “nice character”. I mean, don’t get me wrong, she is nice. Her heart is one the beats with kindness and she treats everyone she meets with the sweet nature, but I have loved being able to get past that into more. I love that she battles with her own desires and morals. Making sure they line up before she gives in to something that she wants. I love her playfulness that comes out subtly at first but the more comfortable she is with someone she stops holding back. I love that she can be open and not so open at the same time? Like she is willing to talk about things and how she feels but it always feels like she only allows that to a certian point. I feel like there is so much more left untapped in this character that I have yet to discover and just like Tripp I am eager to know more about her and what she really wants for herself.
Jessica Parker Kennedy
I’ve always liked this fc but anytime I was in a rp with her the character was so short-lived that no impression was ever made but oh boy did all that change. @weryourlegacy has stolen my heart with Willow Deighton, okay? Another great wc that I received even if I don’t play that character anymore (or lets be real for right now) I am so so so happy that I had that character there so that I could have Willow in my life. I’ve been able to play against Willow as someone who just met her and someone who has known her for years and it has been so interesting to me that way because I get to see the surface level and the deeper level all at the same time, and Liz has done such a great job in distinguishing who Willow is in those interactions. They are so different but it’s all the same Willow and all makes sense for the character. I love Willow’s struggle with loyalty to the family, staying true to herself, and also questioning what her future life should be. She is like that friend that you have who when you first meet seems reserved then comes out with this sarcasm that takes you by surprise, but fits right into who she is. She has more love in her than she gets to show, and I just want her to have a happy life with Noah and Hope.
Jessica Lowndes
If I have ever rped with a Jessica besides Jordyn Daniels, I don’t remember. Jordyn I first started writing against in a 1x1 with @onehopthistime but I’m so glad that she brought her to Rockford because I have been able to really get a better feel for the character. Jordyn has this way about her that she kind of just seems like the fun girl. She’s a good time, a goof, and a great person just to joke with. On the surface level she is this sarcastic food obsessed a bit lazy girl, but from seeing other interactions (just cause my guys are always jerks to her) she has this unbelievable heart. She just wants to be there for people and she is. Whether that be in a way of talking with them through it all or just simply offering her time with them, she has such a subtle way of really being a selfless character. I am just excited to see her development and possibly see how she handles things when she is the one that will have to go through stuff and how that plays out with who she is.
Emeraude Toubia
Technically I have never rped against her yet butttttt @claurps is bringing her into my life as Catalina Abbott and I am already in love with this character without even writing a reply to her yet. I just love the sweet, authentic, genuine character that Clau has already created, and I am so excited to dive into getting to know her. To see the heart for people that I know she has played out in different interactions with others. How her story looks as she holds on to her background and her past home while continiously looking to what her future is. She is already this strong fierce character but fierce in a way that isn’t always depicted because she is that in the most gentle way. She is an example that being strong can come from being meek and I am so looking forward to writing against her.
