Beaten Like a Red-Headed Stepchild

Update on the rules and such.

Sat, 26 May 2012 03:08:00 -0400

1. Please tag your pictures appropriately. I understand that sometimes you’ll forget to tag something, but if you cannot tag them, then please do not post them. There is a way to filter what you see and what you don’t see on your tumblr dash, so tagging is a MUST.

Gore needs to be tagged ‘gore’, porn needs to be tagged as ‘nsfw’. I don’t see any other types of posts that’d offend anyone, but if need be I’ll update the list.

2. Please don’t Godmod. I know how hard it is to play fair, but let’s all be decent and human; your character is not all supreme mighty lord of something or another.

3. Play nice, kiddos! Try to be decent to one another! If you have any problems, address them to the mods!

4. OOC posts are fine, but please please please try to post IC more than you do OC, alright pumpkins? That would be fantastic!

5. TURN ON REPLIES. Apparently this is very very important!

6. Try to interact with other people! It’s more fun If you do, trust me!

7. Also, if you are inactive for two weeks, you will be removed. Sorry. We need you to update okay! It doesn’t take long! If you have been gone for two weeks or more, then we will open the slot for someone else.

First off,

Re-follow Dylan

Unfollow Token

Secondly, HI. I know it must be really confusing for those who are left, with all the changes in mods and rules and everything else, but hopefully now it will calm down.

I am the new co-mod, and really I don’t plan on randomly leaving, or being a total hardass, or anything of that nature. I’ve already talked to a lot of you, so I am very sure we will all be able to work through this fairly easily. Me and the other mod are discussing rule changes, so head’s up! That’ll be posted, hopefully sometime later today, or tomorrow morning.

I’ll need you all to either update like mad people or shoot me an IM to let me know you are still with us! Inactivity for weeks is not acceptable unless you have given us a previous head’s up! Sorry for any confusions with previous mods, but you are allowed to post OOC as long as you LABEL it ooc. either in the header, or in the tags, it really doesn’t matter as long as everyone else can tell! I adore ooc posts and feel it is an amazing way to get to know your fellow rp-ers.

If you are unsure of what to do, or have any question, please feel free to IM me. My aim is xl0ckd0wn and I’m here pretty much all hours of the day.

Thank you for your patience in this very confusing time. I promise it’ll go back to normal now, okay pumpkins?

Co-mod here

Thu, 24 May 2012 02:05:00 -0400

Well I can’t get a hold of the regular mod. If I still can’t get hold of him in the next day or so, I’m gonna open up the position to someone else. For various reasons, I really don’t want to be a main mod.

Sorry about all this, I should have gotten on it sooner. Hopefully we can get this all started again if people are still interested.

ETA: Also I know people haven’t been posting much (myself included) with all the hoo-ha so I’m not gonna kick anyone or anything. Please let me know if you have any questions/comments.

Guidelines

Mon, 07 May 2012 20:45:13 -0400

All right, guys. I know the rules were stressful. And I’m sorry if I was a hardass earlier, trying to enforce them. It’s my first day. So I made a new set of ‘Guidelines’ which are much less strict and shouldn’t be stressful.

The mod has stepped down and will soon disappear, along with the mod of the late overblogging rp, off the face of the earth. The rp has two new co-mods. One is an unassuming, nineteen-year-old homosexual who has Asperger’s Syndrome and just adopted a stray cat. The other declines to be described. But also has a cat.

ACCEPTED: Token Black

Sat, 05 May 2012 17:07:24 -0400

OOC Time Zone: Central
Availability: Weekdays: 5:00-11:00pm Weekends: (vary but typically) 11:00am-1:00am
Desired Character: Token Black
Character Age: 16
Character Background: Token Black is the only black male in all of South Park. He really didn’t mind it so much. Yeah he would get teased for it, but again, he didn’t mind. It was fine. He liked being original. When he got out of elementary school, middle school was a breeze.

Struggling through his Freshman year, it almost seemed like Token pulled away from everyone else there in the high school. Well, except for the constant parties he always hosted. And he hosted them for one reason really. To see him. He was in college, yet, he was coming to Token Black’s parties. One could say that Token was proud of that fact. Being Pansexual, it didn’t take Token long to go to the college guy coming and start hangout with him. Not long at all. Numbers got exchanged and that was how it started. Come Sophmore year, Token was still hanging with Craig, Tweak and Clyde, but more then that, he was still fairly alone…except when he went to see his boyfriend nearly every weekend. There was still parties at his parents mansions but other then that, Token had changed. He was someone new.

In Character Tumblr/AIM: Token-fucking-Black/The.Token.Black/(personal) NakedGunPowder
In Character Sample Paragraph: Token got up at the sound of a buzzing alarm clock. He moved and turned it off, groaning. It was nice being able to live above the work place, so he didn’t have to get up so early, but it didn’t change the dread of getting up at seven every morning. It could have been worse. Token was more than happy to go to work every day. It was wonderful for him. To surrounded by music.

ACCEPTED: Butters Stotch

Sat, 05 May 2012 16:49:15 -0400

OOC Time Zone: Eastern
Availability: I’m on tumblr every day
Desired Character: Butters “Marjorine” Stotch
Character Age: 16
Characters Background: Butters is a sweet and innocent blond boy with teal eyes and a big smile. His parents were both very abusive, never listening to what Butters had to say. Things got worse after the gingers arrived, especially because of his friendship with Dougie, a ginger. Things eventually got so bad that Butters ran away from home, and has been living by himself ever since. To pay his bills Butters has been forced to work whatever jobs he can including dancing at the local gay club in south park as his alter ego Marjorine where he caters to powerful ginger men. Despite everything Butters still tries to keep a good outlook on life and a cheery attitude.
In Character Tumblr/AIM: prettymarjorine.tumblr.com and prettymarjorine
In Character Sample Paragraph: “Oh hamburgers!” Butters yelled loudly to himself as he double-checked his shopping list, why was everything so expensive? He sighed sadly and put the bag of boloney back onto the grocery store shelf. He’d have to make a lot more tips as Marjorine if he wanted to eat more than bread and milk next week. Maybe he could think up a new act for next Saturday.

Walking up to the check out counter, Butters put his shopping on the belt. The clerk gave him the stink eye, staring closely at his ratty t-shirt. But Butters just gave her a cheery smile in return. She gave him his change and Butters pocketted it but not before generously giving her a nickle back. “Have a nice day, maam!” he told her before taking his groceries and walking home.

ACCEPTED: Application for Dougie

Sat, 05 May 2012 01:54:21 -0400

OOC Time Zone: Eastern
Availability: I’m generally on the computer at least once every day, mostly at night or in the evening. It’ll be a little unpredictable, but I’ll try to be as available as I can.
Desired Character: Dougie Stolz
Character Age: 14

Character Background:
Dougie is a red-haired, freckled boy with glasses (sometimes contacts). He’s been friends with Butters since he was in first grade; and he was General Disarray, evil sidekick of Professor Chaos, Butters’s alter-ego. He’s generally a sensible boy, and therefore he hasn’t been involved in as many misadventures as a lot of South Park’s other inhabitants; but his obsequiousness allows others to drag him into things, as Butters did. He’s long accepted the idea that he’ll never have many friends, but since the uprising of the gingers has begun Dougie and his family have been particularly mistreated. Dougie is currently being home-schooled. Naturally, the Stotches have reacted outrageously, and since Dougie and his only friend Butters have been incommunicado Dougie has turned to the internet. After everything in his past and with the present circumstances he’s become somewhat cynical and angry, but he tries not to go out of his way to be rude. Whether he is or not, he likes to think he’s still a nice guy.

In Character Tumblr/AIM: yeah-imaginger.tumblr.com / gnrldisarray23

In Character Sample Writing:

“Can I eat in my room?” Dougie asked not long after he and his parents sat at the dining room table. Pleasant dinner conversation was a thing of the past, and Dougie’s eyes never left his plate. It was his parents. He couldn’t look at them anymore. Not since his mother found a dead ginger cat in their mailbox. The faint sounds of mastication and silverware clanking on dishes discontinued. The silence stretched and undulated. Mutters (his mother?) unintelligible to Dougie were followed by a deep sigh (his father).

“Your mother wants you to stay.” A gentle plea rather than a command.

“I can’t eat!” Dougie said, and he felt a pang of regret when the harshness in his voice brought a weak gasp out of his mother. “I’m sorry. It’s just too stressful to be around you guys.” And now his mother began to sob quietly, her hands muffling most of the sound.

“All right. Go to your room then,” his father said, still quiet but more firm than before. Dougie looked at his parents then, wanting to apologize again. When he saw it wouldn’t do any good he walked to his room with a plate of food in his hands and a mouthful of bitterness.

Sitting on his bed with his feet on the bedroom floor and his food set beside him he stared at a spot on the floor a few feet away. He was considering heaving his plate. The plate was plastic, so it wouldn’t break. It would simply make a loud thudding noise, and all its contents would be ejaculated. The corn would be scattered everywhere. It couldn’t be digested anyway. Who needs it? He imagined that most of the mashed potatoes would plop onto the floor in one spot but that some of it would splatter. He could see some of it landing near his eyes and getting into his clothes. Why did they need two vegetables anyway? Fuck mashed potatoes. And the stupid meatloaf …

Then he would be down on his knees, crawling around the room. His father would storm in, and Dougie would cry out. I’m cleaning it up. It’s all right. I’m cleaning it up. It’s all right.

Dougie gritted his teeth. He wanted to throw the plate. He didn’t, however. But he couldn’t eat it either. He set the plate on the floor and pushed it underneath his bed. He wouldn’t face his parents again tonight. He would take his plate to the kitchen after his parents were asleep. He knew he wouldn’t be.

Suddenly he was just sorry. Sorry about everything. He thought about the time his weary mother had spent making dinner, and he was sorry he wasn’t eating it. She would never know, though; he would make sure of that. He was sorry about his anger. He was sorry about everything his parents had been put through by the people of South Park. But mostly, he was sorry about Scott Tenorman.

In Character Sample Paragraph: Bebe looked at herself in the mirror staring at her wavy blond hair and light blue eyes. “Another day at school.” She sighed and grab her signature red coat and headed towards her small blue car and turned up the heat. As she approached the school she saw everyone out on the steps. Wendy and Heidi talking about some work, Clyde and Craig talking either about guinea pigs or Clyde scoring on some chick the other night. Bebe stepped out of the car and walked towards Wendy hoping today would go faster than any other day. She stayed and chatted idle-ly for about 10 minutes before entering their small school putting her books away and sitting next to Wendy in AP English. Bebe chewed the tip on her pen mindlessly before butting her tongue and coming back to reality, she groaned and laid her head on the desk and wrote Wendy a long note before the bell finally rang.

ACCEPTED: Eric Cartman Application

Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:55:37 -0400

Application
OOC Time Zone: CST
Availability: 4 - 10 CST
Desired Character: Eric Cartman
Character Age: 16
Character Background: Eric Cartman is a self-declared genius at getting what he wants. He knows what he’s after and how to take it thanks to his mom who made sure that her little baby had everything he needed… even during the ginger uprising. As a result Eric is still a master of manipulation and is constantly trying to trick people into doing his bidding. Ever since the gingers came to town he has become even more devious and conniving and is hesitant to trust anyone in case they’re secretly a ginger spy. For many months he has been obsessed with a grand plan he has put together to rid South Park of the ginger menace. Nobody is sure what the plan is or when it will happen but Eric is completely confident that it will work.

Eric’s best friend is Kenny McCormick. Kenny easily sees through Eric’s lies but despite this Eric feels that he can tell Kenny just about anything. Sometimes he gets extremely frustrated with his lack of vision and wishes that Kenny would take a bigger hand in his plan for getting rid of the gingers… but at the end of the day there’s nobody else he’d rather chill out with while drinking a double diet dew. Eric still hangs out with Stan and Kyle sometimes too even though he thinks he deserves more praise than he gets from them. As a result he goes back and forth on whether or not he should let them in on his schemes, sometimes changing his mind every other day. Even though he’s gotten burned before he has a habit of sharing things with Kyle even when he shouldn’t. He finds something weirdly addicting about the arguments he has with his on and off again friend.

Eric’s paranoia sometimes means that he can’t trust anyone. He is a borderline sociopath who prefers to use other people as stepping blocks when they get in his way. Even though Eric is top dog in his mind experience has taught him that networking is the best way to pull strings. He has a large group of townsfolk that he’s tricked into thinking that he has a plan to save them from the gingers. It’s not a total lie since Eric completely believes that he will be the savior of the town and one day they’ll rename it in his honor. He also believes that he is complete cool and totally not fat. Even after ten years Eric still doesn’t take care of himself and the only thing keeping him in better shape is that his mom can’t afford to stuff their house with food anymore ever since the gingers took over. It’s just one more reason why Eric is determined to beat up Scott and end this once and for all.

In Character Tumblr/AIM: http://imsoseriouslyyouguys.tumblr.com and imsoseriouslyguys

In Character Sample Paragraph: Eric Cartman clasped his hands tightly behind him as he walked purposefully into the room. He carefully checked out the group of seated kids. The gathering for his anti ginger rally wasn’t that bad and he cleared his throat loudly. “You guys I’m seriously. I am sick and tired of these no good goddamn ginger rats. I’m the one who’s supposed to be in charge around here, who do you think came up with the Ginger separatists in the first place?” Eric glared angrily.

Not everyone was impressed. “What makes you so qualified, fatass?”

“Because I’m half ginger, you stupid hippie!” Eric tried to cross his arms tightly before giving up and going for a sandwich. “Now who’s with me?!”

Published: 4/25/2012 11:34 PM

SOUTH PARK— Residents reported strange behavior-altering effects starting early Monday morning. Concern spread that these behavioral anomalies may have been the cause of a virus. It now appears this is not the case.

Officer Barbrady declared Tuesday that Park County had a suspect in custody. He further went on to say, “It appears that they treated the water with some unknown concoction [in order] to convince the town to view their political goals more favorably.” Who the suspect was and what these goals were were not specified.

When pressed for developments this afternoon, Barbrady merely stated that this event was “a doozy”.

No charges have been filed.

ACCEPTED Kyle S. Application

Thu, 26 Apr 2012 00:35:53 -0400

OOC Time Zone: Central

Availability: A LOT. Like almost every day, usually at night.

Desired Character: Kyle Schwartz (AKA Cousin Kyle)

Character Age: 16 (17 in June)

Character Background:

Kyle Schwartz is Kyle Broflovski’s cousin on his mother’s side. He was born in Hartford, Connecticut and sent to South Park in fourth grade to stay with the Broflovskis while his mother was out of commission. He didn’t really like it but he didn’t say anything until he left, telling the boys they were a bunch of stereotypical hillbillys. Part of the reason he said this was because he realized they wanted the investment money he made while staying there.

He went back to Connecticut with his five million dollars and put most of it away, using the rest to keep investing. He’s very well off and was able to pay for the best medical treatment available for his mother. She has been cancer-free for five years now. Unfortunately for him, she and his father have decided to spend the rest of their years in South Park, bringing him along. He still despises his cousin and his friends and has never forgiven them for the Antarctica incident.

Kyle isn’t exactly a social butterfly but he won’t object to being around people—too much. He’ll usually just begin daydreaming or reading if he has a book with him. He can get bored and/or distracted easily though and after a few chapters will move on to something else. He’s bright in school but doesn’t like doing homework so his grades hover around a C average.

He’s still as sickly as he ever was, though his asthma is a bit more under control than it used to be. He wears glasses most of the time but his mother bought him contacts and makes him wear them for picture day and special occasions. “To show off that beautiful face,” she says.

Right now he has no friends, obviously, and he isn’t going out of his way to make any. His mother did convince him to sign him up for Tumblr though, as ‘all the kids at school are on there.’ So his life now consists of looking at things on Tumblr, reading, watching science fiction television and daydreaming about boys and the future.

In Character Tumblr/AIM: iamfussyaboutmypants.tumblr.com/kyleschwartz99

In Character Sample Paragraph:

Kyle sat in the front of the classroom (his mother annoyingly had arranged this seat for him with the teacher) doodling on his homework sheet as Mr. Garrison’s words went in one ear and out the other. He was thinking about what he had to do when he got home, running it all in his head over and over so he wouldn’t forget anything later; get off the school bus, check the mail, make a snack, feed the cat, 4:00 is Jeopardy. He was missing something. He knew there were 6 things. And did getting off the bus count? Maybe if he wasn’t in class he could concentrate on the important things he had to do.

Suddenly the room fell uncomfortably silent and he snapped out of his thoughts to see what was going on. The rest of the students were staring at him and Mr. Garrison’s hands were on his hips. “Well, Mr. Schwartz? Can you tell me what evidence there is that Jack Tripper was actually a gay prostitute and not having a threesome with his roommates?”

Kyle pulled on his sweater neck and coughed. “Uh..because of that one episode? Where he..oh Jesus. You know what I’m talking about.”

“No, Mr. Schwartz, I don’t know. And you’ve failed today, again.”

Kyle sighed and went back to his drawing. Now he’d lost his train of thought. Crappy redneck stupid teacher.

Character Background: Dylan’s a bitchy male who grew up in a bitchy family where his bitchy mom was just bitchy. He now lives in a piece of shit trailer that doesn’t even have heat; he tries to make a ‘living’ doing body piercings and tattoos, but lets face it. There isn’t that many people in south park who are lining up for it. He makes a habit of hardcore cutting, and is fighting a more or less abusive relationship with Evan because yes, I totally ship that.
In Character Tumblr/AIM: xZombifiedd
In Character Sample Paragraph (Note: This isn’t the wrong char, I said they could use previous rping examples):     Christophe didnt expect him to wait for a signal of some sort, an ‘okay you may attack’ or whatever. If he had, Chris would have kicked him off the roof. Not thrown, KICKED. He would have less respect for the fact that Ken was acting like a child waiting to be told he could ‘tee-tee’ in the ‘little gentlemens’ before pissing. All the same…when Ken punched, Chris leaned back and just focused on the kick. The arms could only go so far- kicks were more threatening to Chris personally.

    When the kick came again, Chris grabbed the heel of his shoe and twisted, using his own boot to kick Ken down on, what should be assumed, his hands and face. He didnt let go of Ken’s heel. “…Zat waz a poar attempt.” He snickered before pushing the his shoe away finally. “Trie again.”

    Christophe was more ready this time, still taking a deep drag of the cig between his teeth. Come the second rush, he had been a bit of a show off, letting ken get close enough to barely miss a punch before grabbing his forearm and pulling him closer. Why? So he could use his other hand to press the hot end of the cancer stick to Ken’s cheek. “…Again.” He growled before shoving him away.

Everyone please unfollow Cartman

ACCEPTED: Eric Cartman (lemme know if anything needs to be changed)

Tue, 17 Apr 2012 20:52:22 -0400

OOC Time Zone: EST
Availability: Mostly evenings, afternoons.
Desired Character: Eric Cartman
Character Age: 15
Character Background: Cartman is a devious, facetious kid and beyond the overweight exterior leads to something far more cunning and even at times downright genius, going beyond that into a manipulation that calls through his childhood, an aspect that still remains good and alive today. He hasn’t changed a whole lot since a child, however has become a little more grounded in some ways, and sometimes, when the moon is right and the wolves howl a perfect pitch, Cartman will actually show some responsibility on, and majorly in, the efforts that lean towards his favor. He’s a bit of a sociopath, but in a lot of ways falls beyond that, falling again into a kind of emotional area that tends towards his downfalls. His is actual background and story obviously begins with his father, or lack thereof, during his childhood and his half-brother of course, whom he was not aware of until much later. After born, he was raised by a single mother, that being Liane Cartman, where he grew up in a town with three other boys as his close, and honestly main, friends. He’s still kept close with them, not much changing on that front, even through the ups and downs and every other which way all the boys have had. During their childhood and up, they hung out with each other, bickered, argued, and occasionally saved (or nearly destroyed, on Cartman’s part) the world as well as the town. Cartman is no stranger to the nonsensical of course, and takes it with a kind of easy stride, usually never shocked or surprised (albeit quite often frightened if his actual life is being threatened) but still he still can find reason in even the most unreasonable places; *even* when sometimes a good chunk of the time the reasoning can be seen as flawed and incredibly prejudice. No matter what side Cartman’s on, he has a fantastic ability to somehow wind the truth, a true little politician at heart, into creating an appearance in the light he sees it, which is more than not, typically not to good. Even in the nonsensical nature of it all, Eric always manages to justify, and even beyond that, make the most ludicrous ideas sound incredibly reasonable on some twisted level; tending towards not even seeing the real flaws his friends might and sticking by his words. He’s friends with Butters and the others, and he still manages to be and hang out with the usual gang, and if anything else, his intellect, as well as capability to try and wind and manipulate other’s up for whatever purpose seems at the time rather important, has grown over time.

As it stands, and really as far as Cartman’s concerned, winning up on Kyle is still to this day, probably one of the more important aspects on his life (whether admitted or not), bringing the word “rival” to a whole new level. Somehow all the boy’s lives still end up working though, in spite of the chaotic nature of South Park, and Cartman continues his general role in doing whatever’s necessary for that given situation. In reality Cartman probably wouldn’t rest if anything was all too different, lest it benefitted him (and even then not seeing passed the temporary score to the long haul of his own psychology); the town as well as the boys, most over Kyle, are a fundamental aspects on his life, something he’s grown too accustomed to, to at least subconsciously, let go.
In Character Tumblr/AIM: tumblr: http://the-goddamn-coon.tumblr.com/, AIM: respectmygoddamnauthority
In Character Sample Paragraph: The TV exploded to life with a colorful mixture of sounds and images of people cheering in the side lines. “Alright Kahyle. It looks like we’ve got a battle on our hands…” It was a smooth, succinct voice that said this, something in the line of a fluent statement rather than a challenge, and he took a second as he held the mic in hand, waiting for the lyrics to show up. In the background billowed smoke from the bar, the strong scent of alcohol clearing in toward the two as they stood at the all but broken down rock band, readying themselves for the battle. In all truthfulness that entire rivalry was entirely pointless in the situation, but someone was going to win those fifteen bucks, and Cartman depended on it being him. They were lost, currently, out in the wilderness, in the center of a pressing mission. Cartman, determined to go to what was clearly the far better approach, the far more reasonable, and of course Kyle messing it up with whatever he liked to call his conscience. Typically Cartman might try and work through this in a way that could appease the other’s sense of well being, but today it, as it so often did, simply came down to butting heads and placing down bets.

And so they began. The music appeared on the screen; Kyle playing the broken down, plastic guitar in such a way and speed that called back to their childhood, whereas Cartman worked away at singing the lyrics, both enveloped in the scene of two fifteen year old kids having a spat in the middle of an open bar; sucked in on the moment and battle, determined beyond doubt to prove the other wrong and win this fight once and for all. There was a certain ferocity, as well as die or win mentality that fell behind these kinds of spurts sometimes, Cartman only ever able to balance it out when he agreed to only an extent and kept some kind of background plan out in the back of his mind. As it stood, he rarely ever won *these* sorts of battles with Kyle, and if he was, again honest here, that made the entire thing incredibly, if not extremely, unfair. By all rights they should be facing this down with logic, or some form of it that he could pull out, not by a kid’s game for the right to choose said destination, and by rights the measures to how exactly they were going to solve the issue at hand and get the hell back home.
