In Temptation, everything is available to you, for a price. I want to welcome you to a role playing thread that deals with everything you've ever wanted...

And everything you've ever feared.

Weakness and pleasure, desire running alongside danger, and even a little intrigue thrown in for good measure.

We have most of our characters set. A common housewife with a happy but mundane life, who is content but drastically missing something. A husband who provides and is faithful, but can not see what is right in front of him.

And a stranger... a man posessed, who can make any dream come true.

All we are missing is another female part. That is what we are asking for in here. Would anyone like to play as female lead opposite of our little dysfuncional family of writers here?

We have several options available for a female to come into the mix.

A secretary to the husband, who has desire in her heart, ready and willing to make a man unfaithful.

Perhaps an assistant to this Stranger with the magic touch, a willing accomplice who worships him and will do whatever he wishes.

Or, someone who has been jaded before, and knows that the Stranger speaks only in lies and can not be trusted. She will do what she can to stop him from getting what he wants, or anyone else from falling victim to his exploits.



I want this part to be open to just about anyone... but as the cast is filled with diverse and well written writers, at least in our opinion, we want to reserve it for someone special, someone who's writing we can enjoy and who can bring to the table something fun and dynamic.

So, of those three choices, (or if you have a fun and creative idea to put a female role in the story as well, maybe a neighbor who has a secret desire that can not easily be fulfilled, or something of the like) please pick one, and expand on her further. Give her life, breathe into her a character we can enjoy and have fun with.

Write up a short piece about a special time in her life, something fun, or sad, happy or tragic. Write a secret fantasy she wants, but will never speak aloud. Tell us of a dark day in her life, or why she cries every time she hears a certain song.

Nothing too long or ellaborate, just something where we can definitely say Yes to bringing you in and having some fun.

I look forward to reading the responses. Thank you.
 
Candace Evans

OOC:

Candace Evans is twenty-eight years old and stands about five-foot seven. She has shoulder length brown hair, usually kept in a ponytail. She has blue eyes and is medium framed. Freckles across her nose and a few dotting her arms and chest.

She met her husband during a birthday party that her sister, Bonnie was throwing for her daughter at the local RollarDome. At the time Candance was twenty and not seeing anyone steady. She’d dated most of her high school years as well as her college ones, but she’d not settled down or gotten serious with anyone since her senior year in High School.

She’s currently employed with Farm Bureau Insurance as an agent. She has a degree in Music and enjoys teaching piano as well as singing lesson to all ages. Her and her husband are entering their eighth year of marriage. Around the second year they decided to start a family. After two years of trying, Candace convinced her husband that they needed professional help in trying to conceive a child.

Her husband’s sperm count was low, but they were able to fertilize some of Candace’s eggs as well as freeze some of her spouse’s. After several attempts over the next four years, all which failed, the young couple decided they would stop their attempts and adopt. This fell through when the birth mother, whom they had paid all expenses for, gave birth and then backed out of the agreement.

Candace longs for a baby and is thinking of trying to return to the clinic in an attempt at fertilizing more of her eggs with her husband’s sperms. However, finances are strapped tight now and they are already on their third mortgage.

thank you for that, Red. A very good introduction.

I have received a couple of nibbles, hints of interest, but nothing else. A shame. I am interested in starting this as soon as we can.
 
Thanks.

We'll see what happens, it is too early to tell if someone might jump in later today or this evening.
 
Joseph Evans hadn’t been planning on falling in love that night; it had just been another night of work for him. There was a big birthday party as often there was on the weekends. Joseph didn’t mind, he liked seeing the happy families though it did remind him of what he didn’t have. An orphan from the age of seven Joseph worked at the RollarDome trying to earn enough money to put himself through law school. It was that night he met Candace and fallen in love with her. Six months later they were married. It was a quick courting, but Joseph knew she was the one for him.

Now age Twenty-nine Joseph works as a low-grade attorney for the city. The pay isn’t as good as a private firm would be, but the work was more fulfilling. Unfortunately fulfilling didn’t pay the bills and finances were tight between the house payments, the cost of his loans and the medical bills they had incurred. Joseph wanted nothing more than to have a family, to raise children and give them all the love he had been denied by his parent’s untimely death.

Unfortunately nothing they tried seemed to work, and their marriage was starting to suffer from it. He knew Candace didn’t blame him, but he often felt a failure in her eyes for his inability to father a child. He had been told that with new techniques in artificial insemination his odds were very good of getting a child, but so far nothing had worked. He was slowly sinking into depression as the debt piled up and the repeated attempts to start a family failed. He wondered, despite her assurances, how long Candance would be willing to stay with a man who couldn’t produce an heir.
 
OOC: Dr. Alisha Morgan, 5' 5", 120 lb, blond hair, blue eyes

IC: Dr. Alisha Morgan, a well to do specialist in the field of artificial Insemination has opened a free clinic in the town of Temptation. Dedication to her specialty has been professionally satisfying but social destructive. Her only sister has tried to match her with every available bachelor in town and out of town. Alisha manages to find every excuse in the book to miss the introductions.

When her long days are done at the clinic, she goes home to her spacious home outside of the town and relaxes with a book in front of her fireplace. Or soaks in a tub until the tensions of the day drains away. Her only companion is a large tabby cat named Tiger. Her answering machine is filled with messages from her sister inviting her for this or that. One a month she answers the phone to listen to an excited Caroline about a guy from here or there and wont she come to dinner. The conversation has become her penance for not making any attempt to make it to her sister's house.
