They all may have come from different places, but they share one thing in common. One way or another, they are all losers.
CHARACTERS
male - love interest: The Queen Bee
The Nerd, but mostly a loser, is an obvious target for bullying because of his social anxiety and for his blatant beliefs of something fishy going on in their town, something supernatural. He is the younger brother of the Jock, though, they haven't been close since their father left them at a young age. He spends most of his time at home alone because his mother is always working and his brother avoids him. The closest friends he has is the Freak and the New Kid.
female – love interest: The Nerd
The Queen Bee, the beauty queen, and boss. One could say she runs the school, being the biggest bitch around and the most feared. Really, she suffers from abuse at home and so she takes it out on others. Before she was the popular one it was her ex-best friend since kindergarten, the Outcast, who is her main target. Truthfully, she's a dork on the inside but has become so bitter and hateful.
03. The Outcast (OPEN)
female – love interest: The Loner
The outcast, "psycho", "mad hatter", "carrie" and her most popular nickname "blank". Truthfully, she is not the psycho people claim her to be. She used to be the girl large and in charge, being pretty, a cheerleader with top grades and steady background ... That is until her long time friendship with the Queen Bee ended in 10th grade. Ever since she has been suffering and became the closed-off weirdo, outcasted by the entire school thanks to the influence of the popular ones.
04. The Loner (OPEN)
male – love interest: The Loner
Like the Outcast, he has no real friends. The loner sticks to himself and makes it clear he isn't looking to be around anyone and no one wants to be around him because of how scary he can be. He comes from the poor and roughside of town, surprising people that someone like him was accepted into Ravenwood. What makes it worse is that he has no issue going up against the more privileged students of their school and even the rich adults. His cousin is the cheerleader, whom he is protective of and was once close to. But they aren't very close.
male – love interest: The New Kid
The jock is not the smartest book on the shelf but he is known to be courageous, determined and a total charmer. He is also known for going out and/or sleeping with every other girl and some guys in the school. He is the older brother of the Nerd, but he distances himself from his brother, blaming him for their father leaving.
male – love interest: The Jock
The new kid, who is also an introvert, but not at all shy. He moved into town to stay with his uncle, the town cuckoo, because his parents are fighting and don't want him around for the outcome, which is sure to end in seperation. He's just trying to fit in somewhere but most groups have already been formed and closed off. The only people who have bothered themselves with him is the Freak and the Nerd by association.
07. The Cheerleader (OPEN)
female – love interest: The Freak
Out all of the most popular kids, she is the most liked and hated simultaneously in spite of being the Queen Bee's companion. The cheerleader is known to be kind, but she gossips
a lot. Most of her gossip is lies because she just can't help herself, needing attention from others. She is neglected by her parents and isn't close to her cousin, the Loner. In Kindergarten, she was in mutual like with the Freak before first grade happened and the bullying came along.
08. The Freak (OPEN)
male - love interest: The Cheerleader
The Freak, being totally different from the others. But only because he thinks differently and is a total music(or art) prodigy. The Freak has been an orphan since his parents dumped him at the age of four. He chases after the Cheerleader, his first friend, and love, not caring that the two of them live in two different worlds. He is also the closest thing that the Nerd has to a friend and constantly drags him and the New Kid out.

RULES
01. All Iwaku rules apply, obviously. My word is law, and things like that ...
02. This roleplay is teen and up(PG13), containing violence, blood, and gore, suggestive themes, use of strong language, drugs and alcohol usage and different orientation. However, do not go overboard with the use of swearing, use it with class. If things get too sexual, take it to PMs or fade to black. And be reasonable with the blood and gore should it come up.
03. This is meant to be a small rp of four people, so we will be doubling, NPCs will also be allowed. I think this should be obvious, but you cannot play your own love interest.
04. Have proper roleplay etiquette. No power playing, metagaming, godmodding, Mary/Gary sue, etc.
05. Posting expectation is
at least once every fourteen days. I know how busy we all can be, so if you're busy, let me know. Also at least two full paragraphs a post. And if you're going to disappear for a while, let me know.
06. Please use real face claims.
07. Drama in IC only, keep OOC clean and have fun!
