Sorry about almost forgetting this but I'm glad people would actually like to join. If its okay with the ones that have chosen to try this, please post again to let me know. But so far, I've edited the character list and hopefully, I can get a couple more guys.

 

[Fayos]

Role: Page (Tess)
Age: 18
Petite and partly malnourished.

Dark brown hair that she keeps in a long braid down her back and hazel eyes

5'3
Her skin is tanned light brown from working long hours outdoors.

Her family works on a farm and she works in the city to support them.

 

[TheScarletBlade]

I would be REALLY intrested in joining.I don't know whether I should be Mercutio or Tybalt,I could play either really well and wouldn't mind playing either.

Mercutio
Race: African-Italian(mother was african descent, father was italian)
Hair: Black Hair keeps braided
Apperance: Muscular, Hazel Eyes
Age: 19
Status in society: Friend of Romeo, as well as a "bodyguard", partier and seducer.
Apperance: Mercutio stands at 5'9, his skin tone is that compared to caramel. He is quite built and his eyes are like that of a cat when seen under the moon light. He keeps his face shaven and his hair cut. Ladies love his eyes and his accent, a combonation of italian and slang. He always wears blue, it reflects his mood, calm. He is extremely relaxed in any situation, peaceful but can become extremely angry when the time comes for it. He hates to fight and will only do so if it is the only way a situation can be solved.



((Is this like the modern day romeo and juliet? if so my chr is black, if not then i can change his race back to white...))

 

[TheScarletBlade]

Well since your Mercutio,I guess I get to be Tybalt.Thats one hell of a way for someone to pick for me.

Name:Tybalt Capulet
Alias:The Prince of Cats
Race:Italian,Born in Verona(like most of the characters)
Age:21
Occupation:Son of House Capulet,Trouble maker and Gang leader
Status is society:Troublemaker,Duelist and Ladies man
Appearance:

Tybalt is above average height.The common height of the time was around 5'8 when Tybalt stands mybe 6'0.Despite being large,he was sleek.Skinny yet with some degree of strength,Tybalt is the cousin of Juilet.With a slightly tanner skin than white,he has a think black mustache but is well shaven.With a handsome face yet an always serious or mischievous look on his face.With beautiful august sky eyes,he wears the mark of the true hunter,always on the prowl.Wearing dark red clothes that seem to reflect the passion and fire of his personality,Tybalt is extremely volitle and gets angery at every little thing.Before the laws in Verona banning street brawls,he would always be seen fighting against those of Montague.Hating all Montagues,he is constantly found raising hell in the house yet never starting a fight,so he stays within the law.He always wears a pair of pistols.One a dark black pistol with a white handgrip with one cat engraved into it,one with small rubies for eyes.The other a silver pistol,with a dark black hand grip that has a cat with shapires in the eyes.

 

[Marcus2]

Yes it is modern day and also, welcome to the thread! AND thank god we have more guys, lol. If you would like, we can start soon just need confirmation on two characters.

 

[TheScarletBlade]

conformation from who?

 

[Diamondbarrow]

Ooo... I like the idea. Would you be following the story of Romeo & Juliet, or will this be more freeform? Either way, i'll take Benvolio, if he's still available.

Name: Benvolio Montague
Alias: Lord Marro
Race: Italian
Age: 23
Occupation: Enforcer of House Montague
Status is society: Gentleman, Follower of Chivalry, Sensualist
Appearance:

Bevolio stands nearly six feet tall, with a lean frame. He has light brown, slightly unkempt hair, and inquisitive eyes. He wears a well-trimmed goatee upon a firm and defined jaw. He also seems to wear a perpetual smile, one that is pleasant in social situations, and menacing where necessary. His eyes are a unique hazel, divided into three circles. The outer circle is green, the inner circle is blue, and there is a thin circle of gold inbetween.

He generally wears loose-fitting clothing consisting of jeans and a long-sleeved t-shirt, all covered by a long, dark grey trenchcoat. Hidden under the coat is a small arsenal of pistols, which are sometimes necessary in family business. When not over-seeing family deals, he is usually womanizing, though not in the way you might expect. Instead of engaging in one-night stands, he prefers to remain in a group of women he truly feels for, always telling him of his polygamous status. Of course, he is always interested in meeting new women wherever he goes.

Delicious Maiden & Lovely_leila

 

[DeliciousMaiden]

Hi all,

Apologies for delay, I've not been around much this week.

Yes I'm still in ... unless we get a Lord Capulet I could write in "my husband" also if it suits?

DM

 

[TheScarletBlade]

Don't you mean Lord Capulet? what is going on here:A interhouse affair or something? Well,thats for you to decide.

TSB

 

[Marcus2]

Well, I think we can get thigns roling but we still kinda need a Juliet. Since Lovely_Leila hasn't sent me a message, the part is open, so if any of you could find someone who would be willing to play Juliet, then we can begin.

Sorry about all this confusion

 

[DeliciousMaiden]

Don't you mean Lord Capulet? what is going on here:A interhouse affair or something? Well,thats for you to decide.

TSB

OOpps ... silly me! Wrote the post in a rush ... no of course I mean CAPULET ... my bad! I edited... sorry!

DM

Mind you ... might be an interesting twist!

 

[TheScarletBlade]

I think it would be a good twist. Whoever said the two star crossed lovers would bring the two families malice to a close.Just a little bit of affair here and there wouldn't stop much.

 

[Fayos]

Where is our Julie?

Any news from Lovely_Leila? She hasn't seemed to be on for a while.
I could take it untill she comes back, but I really don't like taking a character from some one and I'm sure Lovely_Leila really wants it.

heheh DeliciousMaiden you should have Lady Capulet hit it off with Lord Montague. that would be priceless.
I hope we find a Julie soon I can't wait to start I love Shakespeare.

 

[Marcus2]

Fayos, for now, be Juliet, I'm gonna see if I can find a Julie but since all of you have waited patiently, I'm going to start it off here, so, Fayos, be Juliet for now but be prepared for someone else to take it.

 

[Fayos]

Okay I'll be the understudy,

Hopefully some one else will take the part soon then I can come in as the Page girl. I'm not planning on getting comfortable with the role so I'll try to leave it open for some one else to jump in. I go on the stats Lovely_ Leila gave.

~Romeo walked down the street, cars passing by ignoring him like he would usually ignore the passer byers. He sighed and placed his hands in his pockets. Romeo had light brown eyes with dark black hair. Today, he wore baggy shorts since it was quite a hot day out and a comfortable shirt that showed his muscular frame. He took sword fighting classes for school, it was supposed to help his self esteem, well, that's what his parents said.

He suddenly realized that he was passing by his cousins house, Mercutio, he decided to stop in and say hi...~

That's how it starts in my mind, if anyone else has any ideas or has any confusion, let me know and please, let this thread be that area for OOC talk, thanks.

 

[TheScarletBlade]

Where is the main thread at,is it up yet?

 

[Fayos]

yep..Here it is

 

[DeliciousMaiden]

OOC note:

He suddenly realized that he was passing by his cousins house, Mercutio, he decided to stop in and say hi...~

Benvolio is the cousin. Mercutio is best friend and kinsman to the Prince.
