After long consideration, we’re sorry to say that Ali and I have decided that we feel it’s best that we close King’s Terrace. We’ve noticed a pretty big drop in the activity -- and we’re also part to blame for that. We really aren’t sure what to do about the current state of the activity, and even if we could figure out a way to pick up the activity, we aren’t really sure where our muse lies for not only our characters but the roleplay itself. Some of you have at least tried to stay active, and we really appreciate that. Thank you so much for keeping this roleplay alive even when we really couldn’t. It was definitely one of our best runs yet, and we’re really grateful for all of you that have auditioned and stuck by us and sad to see it go. Again, we’re very sorry. And we hope you have great roleplay adventures in the future!

--- Ali & Kate

BIOGRAPHY.

** TW: Death mentions, small mention of depression**

Daxton doesn’t recall staying in one place for more then a few months, with his father being in the Coast Guard they were constantly moving, he hated it until he got older and realized the work his dad put into life. He never really found many friends because of the fact he never got to stay in touch with them after he left the town. Watching his parents work together to raise him and his sibling(s) right made Daxton proud to call them his parents. He did as he was told and never back talked them, they had enough of their plate with moving and his fathering going on multiple deployments.

He was thirteen when the soldiers showed up at their doorstep in California with news his father had died. Things tore apart for their family, his mother fell into a depression and had trouble caring for the family which lead to them moving back to the town his hometown Jacksonville, FL. His mom’s family and some of his dad’s family welcomed them home with open arms. Living with grandparents for nearly three years, Daxton never had to ask for a thing. If he needed something, he was provided it, if he asked politely for something, he was given it. They weren’t rich by any means but they never wanted Daxton or his sibling(s) to go without whatever they needed or wanted.

In high school Daxton was the captain of the Lacrosse team, he had the popularity, everyone knew of him if they didn’t know him personally. Daxton’s down-to-earth, happy, and go-lucky personality gave him the friends he well deserved. Sophomore year he met Lauren and instantly fell in love. There was no stopping his heart, after months and months of asking her on a date she finally gave in and said yes. Daxton was thrilled, he took her to the nicest restaurant in town and then to the beach where they sat and watched the waves just talking. Things never changed, the two were never not together apart from during classes. Lauren became his muse, he was consumed by the thought of her.

Graduation came around and Daxton made the decision to go into the army, Lauren backed his decision up against his families disapproval of his decision. He found the nearest recruitment center and signed up the day after graduation. Daxton and Lauren backed their bags together and headed to Fort Bragg. They made a vow together, they would never abandoned the other. Two years into his career, one tour down he was transferred to Fort Jackson, he enjoyed his time moving around as it reminded him much of his father and the time he spent sharing memories with him. Daxton went on tour while stationed in South Carolina. It wasn’t until a year later he was transferred again and sent on an additional tour.

A few months ago he was transferred to Garrison - Fort Devens, it has become his home though he and Lauren have an apartment at King’s Terrace, he hardly is home unless he’s on leave. Daxton fell in love with Boston within a week of being there, the people he met on base and in general were warm and welcoming, he never questioned his fellow soldiers loyalty and he knew that he had Lauren back home waiting for him. Daxton decided to take things further in his relationship and has since moving to Boston, proposed to Lauren, they have yet to set a date for their wedding but are not in any rush.

Daxton is currently on leave and is spending much time at home and in Boston just having a good time. He’s not ready to go back to work and is looking forward to the much needed time off. He loves Boston and has found himself a home, he doesn’t think he wants to leave the city or the people he’s met around King’s or in the Boston area but he knows that a transfer can occur at any time as well as a deployment.

IN CHARACTER QUESTIONNAIRE.

WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST STRENGTH? HOW DOES IT COME IN HANDY?

I don’t have one specific greatest strength, all my strengths come together and work together to make my life steady.

WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST WEAKNESS? HOW DOES IT AFFECT YOUR DAY-TO-DAY LIFE?

Can’t say I have a weakness. Though loving too hard can be considered mine. Each day is a new day and something different happens so loving too hard can mean a great deal of pain for a loss.

WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN TEN YEARS?

Hopefully a Colonel or Lieutenant Colonel, whichever I’ve made it to by then I’ll be fine with.

WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO KING’S TERRACE?

It was convenient to my base and it looked to be in nice condition, the rent was doable and so thus finding my way to moving in.

IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME AND TELL YOUR YOUNGER SELF SOMETHING, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Moving around isn’t so bad, you meet some awesome people along the road, I know you have to leave them behind eventually it’s  nice to know you do make friends. Hang in there, bud.

BIOGRAPHY.

** HOMOPHOBIA TW, RELIGION TW **

Growing up in Dallas, Texas, and in a particularly conservative part of town, Daniela—who pointblank refuses to go by her given name, and instead opts for Dani—has always stood out as different. It may seem cliché to say so, but for Dani, it really is the truth. Her mother, Renata, was born into one of the only Latina families in town, with her very traditional father, Duke’s family completely not accepting of their interracial relationship. It’s truly a wonder to Dani that her parents were even okay with their own setup, given how close minded they are in general. Evidently, their love for one another was enough for Duke to allow his family to practically disown him, and the two were married in their mid-twenties, with Renata falling pregnant soon after with their twins.

It’s important to note that the twins were not planned. Neither parent was sure they ever even wanted children, so the positive pregnancy test wasn’t exactly well received, but both raised highly religiously and with the understanding that God has a plan and you must follow it (when it suits them, of course), they opted to continue the pregnancy. By the time the twins were born, Duke and Renata had come around to the idea of parenting them and truly did love them, but not enough to let them be their own people. They were raised to follow the same dedicated Catholic religion as their parents, and to be good, upstanding citizens in their backward little community. They weren’t supposed to stand out, so it was a problem for the two when by the tender age of four, their first born twin, Daniela, had started marching to the beat of her own drum.

Enrolled in ballet classes, it became apparent that Dani was not like the other little girls in town. She hated the very idea of putting on her ballet pumps, and trying to get her to keep her tutu on was about as easy as finding a needle in a haystack. While the other dancers were busy perfecting their pirouettes and routines, Dani was happy to hang out in the corner, playing air guitar and sliding on her knees. She was every bit the tomboy her parents had never wanted, and despite being very well behaved, they considered her to be a problem child for that very reason. She wasn’t one at all, of course. Dani was polite, respectful and very well mannered. The very worst thing she was ever guilty of doing as a child was drawing on her bedroom walls in sharpie, and it wasn’t as an act of maliciousness. Dani just had a very keen eye for anything artistic, and she felt restricted with only paper to work on. Her wall was like a big, blank canvas to her. Her parents didn’t see it that way, but they did have to admit, her drawings were pretty darn good. They still reprimanded her, of course.

While dance classes had been a bust, an extra curricular that Dani did both enjoy and excel in was Piano. She was enrolled in classes at a young age, and picked up how to play very quickly. It was her piano teacher, in fact, who discovered her voice. For a child of only seven, Dani had the voice of an angel, and while her parents were thrilled that this meant their daughter could sing in church, they weren’t going to let her pursue anything else with it. Singing was a wasted talent, as far as they were concerned. Had they managed to get her to sing classical, then maybe they could’ve gotten behind it, but rock was more little Dani’s style; something her parents absolutely hated.

As she grew older, she begged her parents to buy her a guitar, though they refused. It wasn’t like they couldn’t afford it, having always been pretty well off financially, but they didn’t want to let their daughter’s crazy obsession with music go too far. Fortunately, a friend allowed Dani to take one of her old ones, and the teen taught herself to play using online tutorials. She still has not attended one actual guitar lesson to this day, but through practices and helpful videos, she can play like a pro.

Flash forward a couple years, and a fourteen year old Dani, guitar strap over her shoulder, was attending her first ever high school party. Behind her parents’ backs, of course. Being only fourteen, she knew to stay away from the alcohol provided by the older attendees, and instead just had a blast playing music and hanging out with her friends. It occurred to her, however, that she didn’t get as much joy out of watching boys as her friends did. In fact, while they were all looking at Joseph from homeroom and swooning, Dani found herself much more interested in Sophie from her English class. She thought nothing of it to begin with, but a year later and Dani would have her first ever relationship. Not with Joseph from homeroom, nor Sophie from English class. Instead, she would date a girl named Michelle from a different school.

Dani had heard plenty of times throughout her lifetime that being gay was a sin, but it just didn’t bother her. She didn’t even think of herself as gay, she simply thought of herself as someone who had a connection with someone else, and it just happened that the other person had the same parts as she did. Still, not wanting to upset her parents, she decided to keep her relationship to herself. Her first relationship ended pretty quickly, and before things had even really had a chance to begin with her next girlfriend, Rebecca, it all came crashing down around her. The two were hanging out at Rebecca’s house, and making out on the couch under the assumption that her parents were at work. Unfortunately for them, her dad came home early, caught them, then marched Dani to her house and told her parents. That was the last day she heard from Rebecca. More importantly, it was the last day she heard from her parents, too.

Disgusted by her “sin,” Renata and Duke didn’t even give the fifteen year old the time to explain herself. In fact, they thought they were being generous by giving her twenty minutes to pack her bags, then Dani was being told to leave. It was fortunate for her that she was still in touch with Michelle, whose parents were much more accepting, and allowed a now homeless Dani to crash at their place. The moment she turned sixteen, she got a job and begun saving every last penny. Michelle’s family would treat her like she was their own, and fortunately had the money to do so, but it wasn’t like they were going to pay for college for her. The idea of being stuck in Dallas after graduation terrified her, so Dani applied for scholarship after scholarship, most around the Boston area where Michelle would be going to school, and eventually landed herself one at Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Ideally, she would’ve liked to pursue music, but financially independent now, Dani had to be practical. While neither paths seemed entirely reliable, art was the more realistic of the two, so Dani decided to follow it.

With help from Michelle’s family, at eighteen years old, a newly graduated Dani packed up once more and headed for Boston, to begin her freshman year at MassArt. She’d received a decent enough chunk of graduation money from a grandparent to hold her over somewhat, but she still needed to find work. At first, she got herself a job as a greeter at a clothes store, and while she couldn’t afford to quit, she hated it. It was so not Dani’s pace. Landing a job at a tattoo studio in town was much more up her alley, though, and despite her age, with her artistic ability, the managers of Got Ink? were happy to take the nineteen year old on.

Now, at twenty years old and living in a small apartment in Kings Terrace with roommates, Dani has still not had contact with her parents. She’s an out and proud lesbian, with no desire to hide it despite the way people may have reacted in the past, and focusing hard in both school and work. She wants to pursue tattooing as a career, but still hasn’t let her musical dreams die. Whenever she has the time, and if the opportunity arises, she’ll play her guitar and sing her own, original music at open mic nights, with the hopes of one day being discovered. Forced to grow up at a young age, though, Dani knows that it’s likely just a pipe dream. That won’t stop her, though. As is evident, it would take a lot to ever truly stop Dani Harper.

IN CHARACTER QUESTIONNAIRE.

WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST STRENGTH? HOW DOES IT COME IN HANDY?

I feel like the ability to actually detail your strengths is a strength in itself, right? If you’re like, “Oh, I’m awesome at everything,” then you’re going to look like you’re coming across as arrogant or self-congratulatory, so some people will choose to keep it to themselves, but I personally dig that kind of honesty and confidence. So, I’m gonna be that person and tell y'all that I have a bunch of great strengths. My ability to adapt is a huge strength that came in pretty darn handy during high school. I had to adapt to being someone I’d never expected to be when I was coming to terms with my sexuality. I also had to adapt to a brand new life, because the sexuality deal totally wigged out my parents. All of the above is how I know independence is another huge strength for me, too.

Getting out of my head and more into the physical, though, then Art is a strength of mine. Both the canvas kind and the body canvas kind, but also the musical kind, too. I’m a fast learner, which helped in all of those areas. I taught myself to play the guitar when I was still pretty much a kid, I play piano like a total badass, and I draw some mean ink on anybody who comes to me with an idea for their body canvas. All of that comes in handy as far as work. I could keep going, but I feel like this is getting out of hand, and I’m probably totally boring y'all.

WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST WEAKNESS? HOW DOES IT AFFECT YOUR DAY-TO-DAY LIFE?

This is a loaded question, and it’s going to make me sound like I’m contradicting myself since I was just talking about how awesome confidence is, but I can be kind of insecure at times, which probably seems ridiculous, considering I don’t really give off that vibe. I mean, I’m proud of who I am and I like to think I’m a total badass, but there was a lot of self-doubt instilled in me at a pretty young age, and that’s something that sticks with you, you know? It makes me second guess myself sometimes, so I guess that’s how it affects my day-to-day life, but I tend to coast on through it.

WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN TEN YEARS?

Are we talking where I want to be in ten years, or where I realistically think I’ll be? As far as what I want, I’d love to be living in some flashy LA house or apartment, playing my own music for the world and at least comfortably dating someone. I totally want to get married, but by thirty? I don’t know about that. Realistically, though, I see myself probably staying here in Boston, and maybe owning my own tattoo studio. That’d be pretty freaking sweet. I’m hoping I’ll still be writing and playing music, regardless of what kind of level it’s on.

WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO KING’S TERRACE?

School, first and foremost. I’m a student at MassArt, and after a year in the dorms, I wanted to get out there a little more. I’d heard about King’s Terrace through a friend who apparently loves the place. He told me it’s an awesome place to live, so as soon as I could pool enough money together, I figured why not try the whole living independently thing? Or, as independently as I can… I have roommates. I don’t think I’d be able to afford to live without those. And my dog, Drummer. My second parents gave him to me as a moving present, and he’s a total little badass. But now I’m getting off topic. My bad, y'all. I do that.

IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME AND TELL YOUR YOUNGER SELF SOMETHING, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

To stop apologizing. I mean, not completely, but for things that don’t deserve an apology. Being your own person and expressing yourself are two things that should be celebrated, and the fact that my younger self spent so much time saying sorry for doing both of those things honestly makes me feel so sad for her. I wish I’d had someone to tell me that it’s okay to be myself, and what better person to do that than future me?
