They Say You Can't Run From Your Problems, But Can't I Still Try?

A Role-Play Story by The Solo Hero and Black Rose

Plot

Griffin and Vanessa both have very good reasons for wanting to run away from their lives; Griffin is dealing with his new ability to transform into a wolf and Vanessa is balancing having two different families that hate each other. It really isn't a surprise that find each other in the woods, attempting to run away from their problems, and they will share the dearest secrets there. Griffin isn't as care-free as he would like everyone to think and Vanessa isn't as strong as she pretends to be. With both of them on emotional edges, they form a shaky friendship despite their previous bickering and disagreements, but are a few shared secrets enough? Both hold the power to save the other, but they can also help each other destroy their lives even more...

Main Characters

Vanessa Flynn
Griffin Thompson

Other Characters

Sophie Bray
Allison Harrison
Dimitri Young

I'd love to add some more minor characters like Griffin's friends, Vanessa's friends, Vanessa's family, and maybe some more werewolves depending on Griffin's back story. We can give them smaller bios and such since they will appear and disappear often, but I definitely would like some more characters!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Full Name: Vanessa Stacey Flynn

Preferred Name: Nessa

Nickname(s): Ness or Nessie

Age: 17 (senior in high school)

Gender: female

Appearance: One///Two///Three

Crush/Dating: small crush on Griffin that she tries to stamp out with all her might

History: Her parents, Johnny Moore and Lera Flynn, had Nessa when they were just getting out of high school. Lera put off a year of college to birth Nessa and take care of her during the first few months, and Johnny and her shared an apartment while he went to school. Unfortunately, their relationship went down hill and Lera had moved in with her parents before Nessa was even a month old. After that, it seemed that Lera had gained full custody, though her parents mostly took care of Nessa while she went to school. When Nessa was six, though, and after Lera had just moved out of her house and in with her new boyfriend, Johnny came back into the picture. He had a wife and a baby already on the way and he wanted Nessa to be part of his family. The next two years were filled with custody battles until Johnny and Lera finally gave up on full custody either way and split their time with Nessa. Throughout the passed few years, Nessa has been pressured by her father to change her last name to Moore while her mother, newly married, wants her to change her surname to Cooke. Nessa refuses either and sticks with the name she was born with: Flynn. She often switches back and forth between homes depending on who is less on her nerves that day, but she has never known what it is like to have just one, permanent home.

Personality: To put it lightly, Nessa is independant. She hates someone trying to take care of her and would rather do the protecting then being protected. She is stubborn and refuses to ever admit she is wrong even if it is rather obvious. She definately has a firey personality and isn't afraid of the hard, brutal truth, no matter who it hurts. She is a natural rebel and won't let anyone or anything contain her, especailly a boyfriend. Even though she tends to be quite a presence in the room, she turns away from any male attention. She has her perfect guy picked out already in her mind and although she has yet to find this perfect blonde, blue-eyes, polite gentleman who is sure to sweep her off her feet, she will not waste any of her time on these immaturem egotistical college kids. In a word, she is the most hard to get girl you will ever find. Even though she is searching for that knight is shining armor, she hates every guy who tries this tactic on her. Her friends have tried to point this out, but Nessa obviously won't admit that she is searching for the wrong type of guy for her. While searching for true love, Nessa does take care of herself. Whether in a physical or verbal fight, Nessa will use any slick move or cheat to win. She is highly competitive and also very fit, so she isn't used to losing. Emotionally, Nessa isn't the most stable girl in the world. She rolls her eyes at touchy-feely moments and gags heart-to-hearts. She does have a very lost and lonely soul, though, that deserately needs someone to talk to, but Nessa just won't open up to anyone.

Other: wears a Claddagh Ring on her right, ring finger




Full Name: Sophie Taylor Bray

Preferred Name: Sophie

Nickname(s): Soph and sometimes Fee Fee by Nessa

Age: 17

Gender: female

Appearance: One///Two///Three

Crush/Dating: none

Personality: Sophie has a sweet and tender heart that does not enjoy bringing harm to anyone, not even those who deserve it. She is the one who will keep giving out chances even if she is let down each and every time. She tends to be a bit of a people pleaser and will do anything she can to keep her friends (or just a stranger) as happy as they can be. She is known to give out false hope and always tells someone they are right. She would rather simply agree than risk an arguement. She is not the most courageous soul, and even though she woud never leave a friend behind, she would not be the first to protect them. She is rather self conscious about, well, everything and beams at even the smallest compliment. She also has a horrible habit of becoming giggly and clumsy when a cute boy comes around.




Full Name: Allison Juliet Harrison

Preferred Name: Allison

Nickname(s): Alli

Age: 18

Gender: female

Appearance: One///Two///Three

Crush/Dating: none

Personality: Allison is a hard and determined worker, involving herself in any activity she can including FBLA, Honor's Society, the community service group, along with being on the swim and soccer team. She is extremely organized, which is the only way she is able to keep up with all of her activities and being the newly elected class president. She keeps her stress low unless something in her plans go wrong which results in her frantically trying to get herself back on track. One of her greatest strengths and flaws is her eye for detail which feeds into her perfectionism. She always knows when something is different, and she has a curiosity that will keep her tagging after a person even after the issue has been seemingly solved.
