Is this still active?

As of right now, no, it’s not. I had a busier couple weeks than I was expecting, and as a result wasn’t able to be on the dash as much as I would have liked to, which caused a lull in the movement of the dash until it ended up being a complete stop. There is a possibility of the group being revamped and reopened in the future, but as of right now, I think it’s safe to say that we’re closed for the time being. In general, it’s not exactly a thriving time for the GRPC, what with people only having just recently started going back to school, so maybe in a few months we’ll try again.

› Name: Jeffrey ‘Jeff’ Anthony Sterling › Face Claim: Riker Lynch › Gender Identity & Pronouns: Cis-male, he/him › Sexual & Romantic Orientation: Bisexual › Age & Birthday: 16, November 8 › School: Dalton Academy › Grade: Junior  › Extracurricular Activities: Football Team, Basketball Team & New Directions › Family: Mark Sterling (father), Stormie Sterling (mother), Jessica (15, sister), John (14, brother), Jace (13, brother), Drew (15, family best friend) › Personality Traits: optimistic, loyal, kind, stubborn, jealous, thin-skinned

CHARACTER BIOGRAPHY

Jeff can walk in a room full of people and light up everybody’s mood. Jeff is everybody’s friend, he is a great listener. He is faithful and loyal, he knows how to take care of people. He does his best to make people feel at ease, and as loved as possible. He can be quite shy at first, but he becomes the life of the party if he knows the crowd well enough.

He has a big family made up of his parents and his four siblings. They all live in Dayton, Jeff drives there as often as he can. He grew up taking singing, acting, and dancing lessons with his siblings. He loves hanging out with them and Drew, their neighbour and best friends, whenever he’s at home. He bakes with his mom, dances with his sister, and plays video games and guitar with his brothers. He has a very special relationship with his dad, and whenever they ask him who his hero is, Jeff always answers it’s his dad.

He misses home when he’s at Dalton, but he loves school so much that he considers it his second home. He is a brilliant student, he loves his friends – especially his Warbler bros – so much. No matter how badly he misses his siblings, he knows whenever he’s at home that he has another family to come back to.

He’s been studying dance in a studio in Westerville since he moved to Dalton, where he also teaches little kids ballet. Lately he’s been working on his ballroom skills to perfect them. Looking for a dancing partner, he found Allison. The two of them became good friends straight away, and it’s safe to say he spends more time at the studio than his parents think he would. He has people from Juilliard and Boston Conservatory sitting in the audience at recitals, at this point he’s not afraid to admit he dreams big. New York, London, wherever. He just wants to dance for the rest of his life.

Jeff tries to keep a positive outlook on life, even though he had a hard time dealing with bullying in his old school before he transferred to Dalton. He still talks to his old therapist, and most days he’s okay. He has his bad days, though, when he’s all but fine. He won’t show up to class, he won’t pick up the fork, the phone, his Dalton ties from the floor. He’ll disappear for a day and come back shiny and new the following one, like nothing ever happened. The bullying is the reason why he decided to join the Dalton Fight Club, growing up he realized he had to start standing up for himself, although he still struggles with self-confidence.

He adores travelling, he’s picked up the habit of visiting a different European country each summer since he turned fifteen. His favourite quote is “I have never met a person I could not call a beauty” by Andy Warhol. His family always makes fun of him, they tell him he falls in love with every single person he sees. He is the biggest Harry Potter fan, he can stay up all night reading those books over and over and never get tired.

› Name: Finn Christopher Hudson › Face Claim: Jeremy Jordan › Gender Identity & Pronouns: Cis-male, he/him › Sexual & Romantic Orientation: Bisexual, Biromantic (closeted/unsure) › Age & Birthday: 16, August 24 › School: William McKinley High School › Grade: Sophomore › Extracurricular Activities: Football Team, Basketball Team & New Directions › Family: Christopher Hudson - father (deceased), Carole Hudson - mother › Personality Traits: adaptable, lighthearted, charming, dimwitted, temperamental, insecure 

CHARACTER BIOGRAPHY

Born on August 24th, Finn Hudson came into the world tall and ready to go. Really, though. Finn was big, even as a baby, and he’d had a lot of energy from the get go. It didn’t matter that the only adult in his life was his mother, because Finn loved her and knew he’d always do whatever he could to take care of her. He was young when he began to ask questions about where his father was and for a while Carole explained them away, changed the subject, and at one point bought him a drum set as a distraction. Still, he pushed on. When he was eleven, his mother finally explained that Christopher Hudson had died at war, a thought that sat with Finn the rest of his life. Why? Because Finn wanted to be that kind of person. The kind of person who could risk their life for something they believed in so whole heartedly. So that’s how he tried to live his life. He tried to live in order to be half the man he believed his father to be, because after Finn learned of his father’s fate, he had big military dreams as well. Granted, Finn was never the smartest or most in shape that he could be. He took faster to music than he could any other subject in school and while most people hadn’t know about his love for music, they all knew about his ambition for football… half of which only came so he could give his best friend, Noah, a hard time. Of course though, being so tall and a little wobbly on his feet didn’t always fair well for him in the sport, something that became evident when Puck ended up being a football team captain and Finn felt he might as well sit on the sidelines. He was salty, very salty, but hiding it.Not only did he lose out on the captain position, he lost his girlfriend, and a crapton of dignity. So what did he do? He went out to date someone people would expect him to date. He followed the social norms of high school, decided to be a little more shallow, and used his popularity to help him. Except, you know, Puck got the girl and once again Finn knew he was never going to be half the man he wanted. At that point he’d resigned himself to being second best, to not being able to be anything like his father. Which is why he’d started dating Quinn. They both wanted the attention. They both knew a relationship would help them feel better about themselves. And while it wasn’t a relationship on the best of pretenses, they were comfortable with it. You know, even though they were rather certain it couldn’t last when neither of them thought of the other anything but a sibling.

CHARACTER SELF PARA

This is an excert from right before Nick started his Freshman year, so this would have been a year or so ago, since he’s a Sophomore now. It kind of was a turning point in his life:

Nick let out a long breath and looked around his room. This was ridiculous. His mom was really leaving them, for real. She just…decided she hated it there. Though, he couldn’t say he was surprised; they’d been fighting for ages it seemed. His mom always had something negative to say; always. Nitpicking, starting fights…Nick knew his dad wasn’t the best guy in the world; he forgot things just like everyone else, but he always thought his dad was pretty amazing. There was more to the story, Nick knew that. He couldn’t help the tears welling up in his eyes. He was supposed to leave for school tomorrow; his Freshman year. He’d be boarding – living on campus for the entire year – and all summer he’d been incredibly excited about moving in, getting to know his roommate, and hopefully auditioning for the school acapella choir. Now all he could think about was leaving his dad alone in the house without anyone but maybe his little sister – if she got to live with him and not their mother. Nick picked up some of the clothes he had lying out, folding them into one of his suitcases. He still wanted to go to school, more than anything. His dad was tough, Nick knew that. He shrugged a little and smiled to himself, looking at the photo of him and his dad on his desk. No use being negative about all this. Maybe his dad would be happier, his mom wouldn’t be nagging him all the damn time. Nick tossed the rest of his clothes into the bag without folding them. He felt a bit of his excitement grow in him again when he saw the Dalton blazer hanging on his closet door. This year would be about a new start; a new beginning. Nick couldn’t wait.

A (@bowtiesandbooty) has always been my favorite Blaine, and I’m so excited to get to write with her again over at Gleedo! The group’s only just started, but I’ve already fallen back in love with him! (@gleedorp)

Can we play more than one character?

As stated in our rules we will be allowing second characters after two weeks of solid activity. We may change the amount of waiting time, and possibly the number of characters people are allowed to have in the future, but for now it’s two weeks, and a cap of two characters. We want to focus on quality, not quantity here.

Chace Crawford was Biff McIntosh. Wouldn't it be weird to make a FC that was already a Glee character with an established first and last name the FC of another character?

I’m going to be completely honest, I forgot he was even on Glee, since it was for only one episode in one of the later seasons, which I didn’t really watch. However, you’re right, just dismiss that suggestion.

[gleedorp]

fc suggestions for santana?

I would suggest the following FC’s: Bianca Santos, Becky G, Diane Guerrero, Camila Mendes, Heather Hemmens, Francia Raisa.

[gleedorp]

Do you accept OCs?

We do. Please read take a look at our banned list, as well as possible schools for your original character to attend. Abby and I have talked about it and we’ve decided to only accept a few OC’s at McKinley, as there are tree other schools to choose from as well.

[gleedorp]

Would I be allowed to change Santana's FC?

Yes. We won’t accept Naya’s FC in this roleplay due to her arrest.

[gleedorp]

Could you please give me some fc suggestions for Puck?

Of course! We’d love to have a Puck join the roleplay. My suggestions are: Chris Wood, Grey Damon, Robbie Amell, Paul Wesley, Cody Christian, Brant Daugherty, Chace Crawford or Daren Kagasoff. However, you’re welcome to apply with any FC with the exeption of our banned ones of course.

CHARACTER SELF PARA

Rachel loved the stage. It was where she felt the most at home and she loved it. It was the place that she felt most herself. It was the one place where she felt truly confident. It was hard for her to find a place like that at her age. She was a teenager who wasn’t necessarily considered to be “popular” and with the constant facial slushies and the mean comments, online and in person. Not to mention the crude drawings in the bathroom. But, when it comes to the stage, when it comes to singing. She was home. She was happy. She could do anything the moment she opened her mouth. So, when she started feeling pushed aside by Sandy Ryerson and felt as if he were running their club into the ground, she had to do something. So she did, and she couldn’t begin to regret it.

Now, they had a new director, Mr. Schuester. While he was just the Spanish teacher and she wasn’t sure that he had any real talent, she had hope. Hope, that he would see how talented she was and let her do the thing she was best. Sing. Perform. Even though she had to audition just like everyone else, she knew she would get in. She would say there was no doubt in her mind, but as she approached the center of the stage, she could feel the beat of her heart start to pick up. What if the Spanish teacher didn’t think she was talented enough? What if she wouldn’t get to live her dream and show everyone that she was a star? 

All of her fears seemed to disappear, the spotlight was on her and she could pretend that she was on a stage in New York. She could pretend that she was belting her heart out to thousands of people. People that had paid because they wanted to hear her sing. Her eyes closed as she took in a deep breath, lips curving upward. “On my own, pretending he’s beside me..” she started singing. Rachel loved the stage. She was home.

› Name: Kurt Elizabeth Hummel › Face Claim: Chris Colfer › Gender Identity & Pronouns: Cis-male, he/him › Sexual & Romantic Orientation: Homosexual, homoromantic › Age & Birthday: 17, May 27 › School: William McKinley High School › Grade: Senior › Extracurricular Activities: New Directions, the skanks › Family: Burt Hummel, father. Elizabeth Hummel, mother (deceased) › Personality Traits: Independent, creative, ambitious, manipulative, closed off, superior complex

CHARACTER BIOGRAPHY

Kurt Hummel was born an only child, which didn’t give him much interaction with anyone close to his own age. Majority of those he interacted with growing up either turned on him because he was seen as too different, or because the parents poisoned their child’s minds as Kurt was always seen as more ‘too feminine’ for a boy. This forced him to entertain himself, which he put energy and time into with his love for fashion, musical theater, and anything involving cooking and baking. While growing up, his mother helped guide him to succeed in every path of his life before she suddenly passed when he was eight-years old.

Without his mother, Kurt closes himself off from the world even more. This could be the reason he prefers the company of his sewing machine compared to anyone his own age in school. And although Burt sees his son struggling, his attempts of help get ignored or pushed to the wayside. It upsets him when he sees that Kurt doesn’t make any friends in his freshmen year, but it upsets him more when his flamboyant son turns everything on its head his sophomore year. He dresses different, as if to close himself off even more, and starts hanging around kids whom Burt doesn’t deem as positive influences. Things only seem to look up when Kurt joins the New Directions, even if he does keep the edgy look. Little does Burt Hummel know the reasons behind the actual change of his fashion choices is more than just teenage rebellion, but a shield against the bullies of McKinley High.
