General Info: - Humantuck in a small apartment complex - If rooming, please keep it to two people per room - if you want a third, please ask! - Also, please establish a room number if you're creating a new room, there are two floors with 11 rooms on each, floor#room# (ie 202, 110, 103, 211, etc) - Genderbending is A-OK - No canon relationships required! Ship to your hears content! - Please be respectful of other people's preferences, though.
When talking about relationships OOC, relationships can be described as troll red romance - if John and Dave are best friends, I'll mark it as John<>Dave. If they're dating then it's John<3Dave. Blackrom ain't no thang in human culture as we all know, but if you would like to do something of the sort please PM me so that I know.
Also, PM me your characters do begin dating or are best friends, because I will not search out relationships just to mark them. I will only mark if you officially PM me of the relationship. If there are any spouts about who-gets-who, then work it out in PM, please, or have your characters fight about it or something - drama is fun when its fake!

Damara: Rufioh: Mituna: Kankri: Meulin: Porrim: Latula: Aranea: Horuss: Cronus: Meenah:
Application (filled out as an example):
Name: Karkat Vantas
Age: 19
Occupation/Program Name: Advanced Degree in Business Administration. Works at Subway. Appearance: Karkat tends to wear black and grey, sometimes adding red in to the mix. No matter the weather, Karkat always wears grey jeans. Always. He'll either wear a black t-shirt or long sleeve, usually with stupid sayings on them. The only colorful clothes he has were gifts to brighten his wardrobe, or the uniform for his job. Red or black converse complete every outfit. His eyes are a rusty brown, usually hidden behind his mop of black hair.
Bio: His mother left when he was young. Bringing her up tends to make the boy fall nearly silent, responding with one word answers. She tried to get in contact with him - to apologize and see if he would go live with her - but his sadness had turned to anger, and he pretty much told her to fuck off. Okay, he actually told her to fuck off. Karkat never stayed in one place for too long, considering his dad's lack of ability to keep a single job. As such, he's used to having to move, so the transition from living at "home" to on his own was an easy one. Once he turned fifteen, he started working at his neighborhood subway, and has transferred to the nearest one to his home every time he moved. Sometimes he'd make friends and swap handles before having to move away, only able to talk to them online - money was tight - not that he was online often anyways. Now he's on much more often. With the money he saved from working, he's putting himself through school, planning on starting a business to help people in a similar situation he was in one day. But that's way off in the future. For now he's just working at the Subway down the road, trying to make ends meet. He can be a little hard to talk to unless you can deal with insults left, right, and center.
Apartment/Floor: 203
Note: Since he has lived all over the place, any given person in the building can know/remember him, while he may not remember them. Do with that what you will.

NAME: Aradia Megido
AGE: 20
OCCUPATION/SCHOOLING: Majoring in Archaeology and Paleontology, she works as a barista in a very small coffee shop just around the corner from the complex.
BIO: You know that weird kid in the fifth grade that brought in their pet tarantula for show and tell? Yeah, that was Aradia. Except, her 'tarantula' was the dried and dusty skull of a ram. Close enough. She never knew her father, but Aradia spent most summers out of the country since she was just a little girl. Traveling with her mother, a seasoned Archaeologist, Aradia aspired to be an Archie herself. And also Indiana Jones. God, she loved Indiana Jones. The pair went on expeditions in all sorts of places, and her mother even pulled her out of school for a few weeks at a time for very important digs. At thirteen, her mother died when an old structure collapsed and the both of them were inside. Aradia almost died herself, and was comatose for a short period of time before rather miraculously recovering, and even prospering. Deciding to follow in her dear mother's footsteps, Aradia wears her mom's old pocket watch around her neck at all times, hooked on a chain. She is sweet and patient and forgiving and makes the most out of everything she can - and as odd as she may seem at some times, Aradia means well.
APPEARANCE: Approximately 5'4", she isn't exactly the tallest. Aradia has dark, freckled skin, and whiskey brown eyes - all rather plain, but nice enough. She always wears her hair down, a mess of auburn curls to her hips, and she is lean but soft in body. She wears what is comfortable, most often in long skirts an off-shoulder blouses or jeans and t-shirts or shorts and sweaters. Always sneakers, never heels (except for dates, but even those are rare). She has a wide smile of bright red lipstick and straight teeth from years of braces, and Aradia frequently forgets to tie her shoes.
APARTMENT/FLOOR: 103
NOTE: Aradia is forgetful - she could have met your character before and just not recognized them! You can do whatever you'd like with that. Also, she is very inept as far as technology goes. Seriously. She sucks at that stuff.

Name:Gamzee Makara Age:23 Occupation/Program Name: Guitarist/None Appearance: If you're familiar with the 4Chords AU, he looks like that.
Bio: Gamzee is a very easy going guy. He does his best to make those around him happy despite being a bit of a strange character. He used to live with his family but due to the financial issues they always had, he moved out as soon as he could to relieve some of the burden. A couple years ago he got in a bar fight trying to stop someone from sexually assaulting another person which resulted in gaining three scars across his face. After the scars started causing people to give him looks and sometimes even be afraid of him, he started wearing face paint to keep the scars covered up. He is never seen without his face paint on.
Apartment/Floor: 203

I do kinda have somewhat of an idea the could happen in the roleplay if Gamzee is Karkat's roommate, but Karkat is your character and it's your choice if you want to go with it or not. I'm not here to force anything down anyone's throats.

I'm not here to force anything down anyone's throats. Oh hush, I'm fine with them living as roommates. I'm intrigued by this idea of yours, too, hehe. I'll write it out later then when it's not 1:43am and I'm wanting to sleep but I woke up because I'm hungry. EDIT: I am now fully awake and here is my idea. I know how everyone is familiar with the 4Chords AU. It was created much longer than a year ago and hasn't updated for over a year so of course it's popularity has sank. With no updates why should anyone bother with it anymore? I however like the character designs very much so and what story there was of it, and form it into roleplay plots. So here's my plot based off of 4Chords. Gamzee was on tour with his band, it being quite popular, more than he ever expected it would become since it originated as a cruddy high school band as they usually start from. Him and his band mates were getting the munchies and stopped at a local Subway, the one Karkat just happened to work at. It was the late shift and there weren't any other customers at the time of Gamzee's arrival so the clown managed to swindle Karkat into a conversation since he is a talkative guy after all. The teen must've had a particularly bad day since he revealed that he lived alone and his job at Subway was barely covering his needs. Gamzee had never met anyone that talked in such a color language before, besides himself of course, and was instantly interested in him. After talking with his band mates for a few days, they agreed he could stay in the town and the bassist's cousin could fill in for his absence as he has done many times before since Gamzee on occasion is a no-show with no explanation because that's just his nature. If his heart tells him to do something, he'll drop everything and go do it. Helping Karkat pay for the things he needs was one of those things. Money is no issue, Gamzee just lives and looks like it is since it's more comfortable for him to not have many belongings. So then a week after his encounter with Karkat, despite the apartment manager advising him to get his own room due to the teen's unfriendly behavior, Gamzee waved it off and gained Karkat as a new roommate. So now he lives with Karkat, and he took the smaller of the two bedrooms with no questions asked. He has paid the full rent for both of them without ever talking to Karkat about it, and also occasionally buys meals and items that both of them could use. Right away he discovered Karkat isn't much of a conversationalist unless he wants to be so Gamzee tends to leave him be unless he can tell Karkat is just bottling everything up inside and just needs to say something no matter to who it is. Only then will he invade his personal space, intentionally pissing him off until the point where he lets it all out of his system whether he wants to or not. Though sometimes he does strange gestures without warning like ruffling Karkat's hair or kissing the corner of his mouth then act like it's normal for people who don't really know each other to do those things. And that is a LONG ASS explanation, but that is my particular idea.

And that is a LONG ASS explanation, but that is my particular idea. That sounds good, I like it uwu Of course, Karkat's going to deny any offers of help, and when he finds out the rent is already paid for he'll flip out and try to pay Gamzee back - something along the lines of "take the fucking money you dumbass clown, I'm not letting you pay for me." - and he'll fight Gamzee paying for anything more than what would be used by him and him alone.

Name: Vriska Serket Age: 21 Occupation/Program Name: Vriska works at the somewhat sketchy-looking pub across the street as a waitress and barista. When she barely graduated high school, she said she'd take 'a year to figure everything out'. It's been three. Appearance: Vriska usually sticks to casual, comfortable clothes most suspect she purchased from the men's section. She usually wears black or dark colored jeans, and tee shirts with long sleeves layered over or under. It's a theory that she makes this wardrobe choice to hide a grossly scarred arm (from shoulder to fingertips), but no one can say for sure, as it seems like a tender subject, and she can be quite a frightening individual when she wants to be. The occasional blue, red, or even orange ends up in her clothing. She is thin and lean, of average height, and has the typical northern European blonde hair-icy blue eyes combo. A strange obsession with arachnids and the number eight is also apparent in her accessory choices- most noticeably a magic eight ball belt, and plastic earrings with actual dead spiders encased inside them (normally worn alongside any sort of dress or formal wear, just to freak everyone out). Bio: As mentioned before, Vriska was only allowed out of high school on what she calls a 'pity-pass'- something she had been abusing for ages. Extremely manipulative, Vriska would often use her broken home life as an excuse for her poor work ethic and overall hatred for school. Upon receiving a bad physics score, she would begin to cry, and spill that her mother was making it impossible for her to study. She would have the bruises to prove it. After all, she did prefer manipulation to flat out lying, but she was stronger than she let on. Whereas everything concerning her mother was one hundred percent true, it never disturbed her work. She just hated school more than she hated her mother. Her father was a tyrant as well, always shouting and drinking, but he left very early on in Vriska's life, leaving her con-artist mother to do the lasting psychological damage. She likes to pretend her situation never bothers her, but that is quite the opposite. She puts up a confident front to compensate for the fact that she actually believes everything her mother ever told her about how terrible she was, and how she doesn't deserve love. She moved out the second she turned eighteen, finding this cramped little apartment, and just the right shady jobs to keep her going. Now, some of her favorite pastimes include smoking on the stoop and sneering at people, lighting small, flammable things on fire, and stealing newspapers from her immediate neighbors. Needless to say, she is just adored by her neighbors. ((wow angst)) Apartment/Floor: 208 NOTE: Unlike some of the others, she always remembers a face, and can easily name every wrong they have done to her since the beginning of time. Bottom line? (literally) Don't fuck with her.

Name: Sollux Captor
Age: 21
Occupation: Works at an electronics store while attending school for Bio-engineering.
Bio: During his childhood, Sollux lived with his father and older brother. They lived an average life, or as average as they could have considering his older brother suffered from severe brain damage from a car accident that killed his Mother. His Father found new love in a women who drove him from Sollux and his brother. Sollux ran the household, taking care of his brother, managing to get by the money his Father sent through the mail. When at school, Sollux was much more happy though he had trouble making friends. He found his interest in biology but excelled in physics and computers as well. In his Junior year of high school however, a police man came to their door and told them that their Father has passed away from a supposed brain aneurysm. Now newly orphaned, Sollux got his job and worked between before and after school. He graduated high school with flying colors, receiving a free ride to a university. His brother found love with a nurse at the local hospital and moved in with her when Sollux started attending the university. After his first year in the dorms and seeing no purpose to go back to his childhood home, Sollux sold the house for extra money and moved into his current apartment.
Room: 211
Note: Although he has been living here for nearly two years, Sollux barely talks to his neighbors.
