Hi. If you don't know about this RP, the idea is that you play as several college students from Brown University deciding that, on a month you all happen to have no classes, you'll head down to Vegas for a week or two, then head back. Naturally, things do not go as planned. Arrests, gangs, breakdowns, and everything else this side of Gallifrey will be in its way to stop you. However, you have the single greatest vehicle ever constructed for this great task, a car so mighty that nothing on earth can stop it:
It seats seven comfortably, and, if used in Smuggle Truck mode, 12 uncomfortably. Useful for sleeping, plenty of space for beer, and the back seat can be turned into a bed for some sweet, sweet lovin'. Plus, it only cost you, like, 4,000 bucks? but that is beside the point. Your quest begins today, adventurers; Make your ancestors proud of your drinking and fighting.

Rules are a bit more than normal for an RP, but I intend for a small group with lots of talent, and I'm sure that most people here can cope with these.
Rule 1. No superpowers, weapons, or anything offensive or special. You're normal, human college kids on normal, human Earth.
Rule 2. Please keep the posts more than just a few lines long. There really shouldn't be much of a problem with this; it's just that short posts can tend to be a bit low on quality. If you don't have much to say, then just wait until you do.
Rule 3. No "dumb speech" variants. I know this isn't many people, but some people will use something like how bad fan fictions sound when read aloud in a short post. No real problem, just want it outlined for if someone who will sometimes use it gets allowed in.
Rule 4. Don't make the tone too dark. This is a comedic RP, meaning you don't have to have some incredibly tragic back-story or anything. You're a bunch of rich kids at Brown going to Vegas. There isn't exactly much room for a dark story line, saying as your parents (and, subsequently, you) are loaded, and you are going to a giant city made of booze, stripers, and gambling.

Abide by these rules and we should be fine.

Name: Nikolai Radmilla

Age: 19

Major: Literature/English

Minor: Psychology

Gender: Male

Appearance: Nikolai is an extremely average 5'7,with a pale and sickly,almost deathly thin.His face is kind with plump cheeks and a thin lipped mouth held in a an always worried smile.His eyes are a striking shade of electric blue,and buried slightly behind his high and plump cheeks,and have a small array of bags beneath them.His hair is a mousy brown,and usually pulled back across his head,it seems to be slightly shiny,though it is unclear if this is from gel or grease.

His outside ensemble consists of a black waist coat over a white undershirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows,with a blue tie to go with the general theme,and a pair of black suit pants with black and white shiny dress shoes on his feet.If it is a cold day,he will wear his fedora and long coat,or go without his waistcoat on a hot day.When just hanging around inside or going outside for a bit of "Fun" with Jimmy,he wears a white shirt with the anarchy symbol emblazoned on the back,and a pair of baggy dark green cargo pants,with some slip on trainers.

Bio: Nikolai is the son of a wealthy and successful Russian industrialist,who had moved to America in his early 30s and married Nikolai's mother.In his early childhood,Nikolai was mostly confined to his father's manor,due to his sickly nature and fear of large crowds and people.Home schooled for most of his life,his education focused mainly on Literature and English studies,which he grew to love,finding he had a talent for it.When he came of age and moved onto college,his father gave him a hefty fund for later in life and to get him through College.

The Life proved more difficult for him than he had anticipated,the crowds of students suffocated him and battered his scrawny being.To avoid this,Nikolai began carefully scheduling his days to avoid the rushes,and finding different hidden paths through the college.It was on one of these searches that he met Jimmy Eldritch,with whom he talked and hung out with for most of his free time in the year,Jimmy oft convincing him to do dangerous or illegal things because he was too afraid to say no.

While he was working on his short stories one night in his dorm,Jimmy visited and convinced
him to join him on a road trip,naturally,due to his timid nature,Nikolai reluctantly agreed to go along with him.

Extra:Due to his hefty leaving fund given to him by his father,he is very rarely left behind in the technological states,and is usually suckered into buying the alcohol for the others,Jimmy in particular.

Name: Prudence 'Pru' Dresden

Age: 19

Major: Theoretical physics
Minor: Engineering

Gender: Female

Appearance: Standing at 5'11" and, shall we say, solidly built, Pru doesn't fit the image of the traditional lady. On the other hand, her build allows for some impressive physical assets, and her swagger and attitude are hardly fit the image of the traditional maths student. Ignoring the ever shifting fashions for loose jeans, figure-less t-shirts and an apparently bullet proof leather jacket, Pru wears her blond hair short and an almost permanent expression of sarcastic amusement.

Bio: Prudence is pragmatic when dealing with her own past. It has been ascertained that she grew up in the locality of Brown University, and that she came from a relatively poor neighborhood, of which she speaks little. Her drive for knowledge allowed her to continue to learn in adverse conditions and terrible school, and eventually won her a scholarship tot he university.
As soon as she hit campus, she cut all ties with her past. She never visits her family, neither sends nor receives mail, and dodges questions bout them. On matters concerning her life at the university she is open (or as open as Pru gets, at any rate) but for all intents and purposes, she has no outside connections.
Due to this, she jumped at the idea of joining the road-trip, presumably desiring to get some time away form university.

Extra: She will drink anyone of the others under the table (or fold out bed) and is surprisingly good company, despite her black humor.

Name:Connor
Age:19
Major:Film Production
Minor:philosophy
Gender:Male
Appearance:Tubby, would have football player resemblance if weren't for his fat.
Bio:Born of a poor Bronx family, this young freshman barely got into Brown due to his low grades yet his extremely high SAT scores, along with a high PSAT score in 11th grade, giving him scholar ships that most of his demographics would not get. Interested in film all his life, he knows what he likes, and can pull facts out of his ass, unless their related to actor names, he's very bad with names. Plays a lot of BlackJack, and wanted to spend less time reading into things and more time living, so he chose to try to come along on what he expected to be a trip of a life time. However, things aren't always as nice as they sound...
Extra:Traits;
Tends to be more lucky than most, but ends up messing things up by accident.
No one knows that he's poor or an underachiever, so play along for at least a few OP updates if your in.
Can't drive, but thinks he can cause he played GTAIV.
Hobbys;
Video Games, Movies, Cartoons(My little secret), listening to The Who.

Edit: Oh yeah, just to clarify, I'm white.

Name: Jimmy Eldritch

Age: 19

Major: Philosophy

Minor: Acupuncture

Gender: Male

Appearance: Slight and gangly, though with a presence that could fill a room. Jimmy has straw-blond hair and wears a collection of those cool shirts which look like they're a t-shirt worn over a long-sleeved shirt, but actually they're just one shirt with weird-looking sleeves; he also wears faded jeans and a pair of tennis-shoes he's probably owned since he was 12.

Jimmy's eyes are a startlingly bright shade of blue - looking at them for extended periods of time could potentially damage your sight - and he wouldn't be recognizable without his trademark serial-killer grin on his face.

Bio: Jimmy grew up in a big house on a crop plantation his parents owned; they raised him the best they could to be a thoroughly decent young gentleman, and it almost seems as though he turned out the way he did deliberately just to spite them for this. He fell in with the wrong crowd as soon as he could and embarked on a long career of screwing strangers, consuming things he probably shouldn't and roping those foolish enough to associate with him into things which could almost he classified as "schemes", if it weren't for the fact that there was never any thought put into the things he did whatsoever.

Extra: Anything that moves. Has an affinity for chaos and sharp things.

Major is what your degree in collage is, minor is your secondary class. For example, if you take engineering as your major, you get an engineering degree, but you don't get a mathematics degree even if it's your minor. However, if you switch mathematics to your major in your school year, you get to keep the credits you got from it as a minor.

Name: Peter ter Heijde

Age: 19

Major: Biology
Minor: -

Gender: Male

Appearance: Standing at 5.9, Peter has a broad build thanks to the rowing he has done at the student rowing club Njor. Peter also has brown hair and green eyes. Peter wears most of the time a white shirt, brown pants, beige shoes and the tie of Njor.

Bio: Coming from a town near the city of Leiden, Peter went to the university at the age of 17. While there, Peter was approached by some people of Njor who were searching for new members. Joining it, Peter quickly learned how to row and also learned about the other side of being a student. Becoming an active member there, Peter managed to become one of the barmen at Njor. There he also learned about all the tradition from Njor.
When Peter started his third year, he had the opportunity to study abroad for a couple of months. Taking the chance, Peter got himself in to Brown University.

Extra: A student from abroad, Peter still is getting used to the new age limit for drinking and always has his passport on his person.

Oke here is my sheet. Thought it might be fun to play a foreign student.

On the whole master minor thing, here you just study something like biology, decide there which direction you are going and after getting your bachelor, you can go and study for your master.

The crisp ocean air drifted over the university early in the morning on the cold mid-winter day. Five people, three students and two grad students, were packing a van. Clothing, beer, food, a tent, beer, sleeping bags, beer, beer, and beer were all stuffed into the van, with many of the boxes of beer being marked "made in Fucking, Austria." The oldest male of the group climbed in the drivers seat of the van and, with the smooth motion of putting the key in the ignition and turning, sputtered the van to life. The other four hurried in out of the cold, and possibly into a great adventure.

Okay, huh, it seems that we are going to be moving to a new Thread, as it seems that this one has turned into a trainwreck of people not looking before posting.
