[cincinnatiburn]

I see you've swapped out Spencer for Mason but would it be possible if someone was still interested in Spencer to app him and join this lovely group?

Yeah absolutely. Right now Jesse is our only open bio but I’d be happy to tweak some things around to make it fit for Spencer if you are interested! All I ask is that you come off anon and talk to me about it!

I’m Bobby, I’m in Brisbane, Aussie. So that’s a GMT+10 timezone. Which can be a bit of a bitch at times. I’ll admit.  My skype name is Christopher_Frost1 but I’m not generally on there. Though, if the group uses it. I might be more active.

general statistics

POLITICAL AFFILIATION:  Left leaning/democratic RELIGION:   Atheist/agnostic BELIEFS: He tries to be a good person but growing up in Montana he’s leaned to take peoples religions for what and who they are. MISDEMEANORS:  Drunk driving FELONIES:  none TICKETS AND/OR VIOLATIONS:  A few parking tickets that have been piling up in his filings DRUGS:  Sometimes SMOKES:  no ALCOHOL:  All the times, prefers to drink wine but still goes out to the club most weekends to destress DIET:  Healthy

interview section

“ you asked for your interview to be done under a psydeunom, is that because you aren’t out of the closet?.”

I prefer to think of it as not…out of the closet or in the closet.  I just prefer to keep things separate, you know? My work life and family, as well as everything else on one side and my sex life, and everything else on the other.  And with the internet nowadays, you never know what might turn up when you google your own name. I’d prefer not deal with any reactions or fall out of dealing with one part of my life spilling over into the other. You know?  I’m well aware I’m gay. You just don’t need that old country friend you know being aware of it when he looks you up and then tells the whole town you like being deep dicked.

“ this specific community has such a divide of sex versus relationship, how do you factor into that debate? ”

I prefer sex over relationships. I prefer that passion of the first time, when you’re finding out just how to make a person moan in your ear and curl their fingers into the bed sheets.

I’m not saying I don’t have fuck buddies or a regular hook up. I just think sex is mostly fun and if you start complicating it with dates, parents and the crushing weight of actually “doing it the right way this time.” You’re fooling yourself. You don’t get a Disney prince at the end of the movie.  

But you can have a lot of fun without all the trimmings, you know?  

“ lawyers are sort of a different breed of people, how does your professional life play into your person life? ”

A different breed of people? You mean we’re driven, determined and awesome? My work is my life and I don’t pretend to hide that. If I’m not in the office I’m either thinking about a case or texting a client on the phone while hanging out with friends. I get that it can be…well, a lot but this is my life and I don’t apologise for how much work it takes to be a kick ass lawyer.

“ there has to be one relationship in your life that means more to you than any other one, can you tell us about it? ”

I think this question might be a bit mean to all my friends but…I think my father? At least for most of my life.  He wasn’t always the…easiest man to grow up with. When you’re from a small town, you don’t really ever see the world beyond that small town. It was a bit of a growing pain to get him to accept that I wanted my life to be a certain way and have a certain future. Still, I call him a lot and loop him into my life. I think he’s proud but it’s hard to tell sometimes with him. He’s very much a “this is my horse ranch and that’s all we talk about” sort of man.

“ easiest question of all, what comes next?”

Partner, hopefully and then named Partner in the next few years.

“Johnston, Stenn & Clarington” does have a really, really nice ring to it.

Unless you were expecting something different?

role closed

we have closed the role of hunter clarington and will post an acceptance and follow shortly.

[cincinnatiburn]

Would you accept a trans character? And I don't just mean would you read the application and consider it like any other, I mean would it be possible to join the rp as a trans character and be accepted by the other players and characters after joining? I ask because it seems that in all rps, trans characters are ostracized and transphobia is allowed both ic and ooc. Especially in gay/lgbt rps.

My dear anon, I am incredibly genuine when I tell you that a trans character would be accepted, welcomed and loved in this roleplay. Both by the characters and the players. I can tell you with absolute certainty that transphobia is non-existent in the group and our ooc chat. If you want to apply for one of our open characters as a transgender character, go for it. You don’t have to worry about being ostracized here.

[cincinnatiburn]

and we are open for play!

we’ve got the majority of our accounts in, connections set and more! so with that, feel free to start posting starters, paras or whatever other interaction you want! we are still actively seeking our last two roles to fill as well!

when it came to finn, the applicantion we had was a perfect fit. oli, please view the checklist for the next steps and welcome to the game!

out of character information I’m oliver, i’m in est, and i am 20. I have been in the glee community for almost 6 years now, so there’s that. My favorite word is rad and i love dogs more than life itself. general statistics BASIC NAME: Finn Christopher Hudson NICKNAMES: Hudson, Finny-D, Finnster, Finn Huddy, Mr. Hudson AGE: 31 BIRTHDAY: 06-27-1986 GENDER: Male PRONOUNS: He/Him ZODIAC SIGN: Cancer MOTHER: Carole Hudson FATHER: Christopher Hudson PARENTS: Carole and Christopher Hudson FAMILY: Henry Hudson (Son) SIBLINGS: N/A LIFESTYLE BORN: Coventry, Ohio RAISED: Cincinnati, Ohio VEHICLE: Honda CR-V PETS: N/A POLITICAL AFFILIATION: Democrat RELIGION: Loosely Christian BELIEFS: Believes in God and in fate that things will be the way they’re meant to be. MISDEMEANORS: Hitting a Postal Worker with his vehicle at 15 FELONIES: N/A TICKETS AND/OR VIOLATIONS: Ticket for backing up at a red light after not making a full left turn, then causing to block traffic during busy street hours DRUGS: No SMOKES: No ALCOHOL: Sometimes, when he’s with his friends and they’re having a good time together. Doesn’t drink much on his own though. DIET: Way too many chili cheese dogs from the Speedway down the road after a long day at work. interview section “ thanks for taking time with us. just start by telling us a bit about yourself? ” Uhm, right. Well, I’m Finn Hudson. I’m named after my dad – not my first name, my middle one. Oh wait, I didn’t tell you my middle name - it’s Christopher. Yeah, sorry. Uh, well…I like watching football on TV, and I like trying to flip an egg and not break the yolk. I…I like helping people. Teaching is the best job in the world, and sometimes it’s super tiring, but I think that it’s worth it in the end. I like babies. Well, ones that smile a lot. Sad babies make me sad. …I like cool cars and rocket ships. …I got off track. “ which is more important to you, sex or a relationship? ” Is both the right answer here? I feel like you’re trapping me somehow. I think…doing that is fun, and I like being intimate with people. But relationships are on like, a whole different level. I haven’t found that somebody yet that I wanna, you know, take over the world with and all that other stuff they write love songs about, but I have hope that maybe I might be lucky enough to in the future. “ do you think there are more challenges in being a gay single father than just a straight single father? how do your friends feel about you being a father? ” I don’t want to say that it’s like, harder or anything, because I don’t really know what it means to be a straight single father. But, I do know that it is hard to be a single dad at all. Shout out to the guys who do it, because it’s never going to be easy. Most people are cool with the whole ‘proud’ thing, but I know that having a gay dad could definitely have some effects on my son in the future. People aren’t nice. They say hurtful things, and they make you doubt people that you love. I hope he likes me anyway. Not being too hard on myself is a challenge enough. I try to be a good dad though. Hopefully it’s working. My friends say I’m doing a pretty decent job, and they’ve all been super supportive of my ‘journey’ I guess. “ what are you feelings about the gay community here in cincinnati? it’s it a positive environment or does it need to change? ” For the most part, everything is really awesome! Being around so many gay people is a little overwhelming sometimes, but most people have been super welcoming. There are always going to be things that aren’t so great in every kind of social group, but I’m happy with where I am right now. I’ve got awesome people in my life who accept me for who I am and that’s all I’m really worried about so far. “ you are a successful man so what is the next step in your life? ” …Does anybody know how to answer that? I have no idea. Whatever happens, happens. Things will do whatever it is they do for whatever reason and I’ll just be there, enjoying the ride. Tomorrow I could be invited to go into space and step foot on the moon, or offered a job at NASCAR as a professional driver – or the flag waver. Who knows? I plan on finishing my degree and then… waiting for it after that. I don’t know what it, is, but I will find out.

out of character information

general statistics

BASIC

NAME: jacob elijah puckerman. NICKNAMES: jake, megastud. AGE: twenty seven. BIRTHDAY: 07-07-1990 GENDER: male. PRONOUNS: he/him. ZODIAC SIGN: cancer.

interview section

“ it might be strange that a gay magazine wants to interview a straight guy but you have a unique perspective, can you tell us a little about yourself.”

Nah, it’s cool, man. i’m an ally, remember? My name’s Jake. i work the ER. No, I’m not a doctor. No, I’m not gonna be a doctor. i’m a nurse, an all male nurse.

“ how does it feel being in such a male sex strong environment? ”

I can’t say I’m head of the rights movement or anything, but I could maybe pass as honorary gay. I’m scrubbed the fuck up one hundo percent of the time, but if i ditched the after hours b-ball shorts, definitely. Plus, I saw the movie did my research; every girl’s got a gbf. And I don’t wanna say it’s a piece a cake cruising Babylon for chicks, but when you’re the lone het in a pack of homos; it’s kinda like the babies are giving you the candy. And nobody’s around to get butthurt about it.

“ helping people seems to be your calling, what does it mean to you? why spend hours in the er? ”

I feel like my whole life my mom’s been holding her breath for my fuck up. My dad’s a dirtbag. My big bro’s a dick. I’m the man of the house, and I had real shitty shoes to fill, so I did what i could to stay on track and go the distance. Is that gay? I’m like the half black Hercules of this shitshow, getting gainz and proving the world wrong one twelve hour shift at a time.

“ you are proof that straight men and gay men can be friends. is there anything about having all gay friends that is hard though? ”

I can’t wear socks with sandals.

“ now that you are here in cincinnati for awhile, what do you plan to do next with your life? ”

Channel my inner McSteamy and save some motherfuckin’ lives.

accepted - mason mccarthy

there was only one applicant for mason mccarthy but it was the perfect applicant. so julie, please head over to the checklist for the next steps. excited to have you!!!

out of character information

I’m Julie, I’m from the Middle of the Midwest and reside in CST, I’m 23 and I’ll gladly fork over my Skpe over IM since that’s where I live 90% of the time. Mason’s my first and most-loved Glee muse, with most of the other newest-bies (and the rare Kitty Wilde) also filling my time in my past two-and-some years in the GRPC. I’m excited to see how this plays out! general statistics BASIC NAME: Mason Ichabod McCarthy NICKNAMES: Mase, MaseFace, Mc-C, Em-Squared, Numba-Five, Five of Nine. His twin sister calls him Ich, which is rude and uncalled for, so he calls her Hairy in return. AGE: 26 BIRTHDAY: 12-02-1990 GENDER: Cismale. PRONOUNS: He/Him/His. ZODIAC SIGN: Sagittarius. MOTHER: Lauren “Lola” Theresa McCarthy, nee O’Brien FATHER: Richard Irving McCarthy PARENTS: Rich and Lola. Typical Irish-Catholics from Boston; loving, loud and too much personality for too little space. His father is a professor of 19th-century literature at Harvard, and his mother is a personal secretary for a legal firm. FAMILY: His paternal grandparents, Theodore and Jane, died before Mason was born, but the whole McCarthy cohort still treks down to visit their graves a halfdozen times a year - their birthdays, deathdays, Christmas and Easter. His maternal grandparents, Stuart and Catherine, live in Florida, and he didn’t see them nearly as frequently growing up. Both his parents also come from big families - he has more aunts and uncles and cousins than he can keep track of, most days. SIBLINGS: In order from oldest to youngest: John Darcy, lawyer, 37; Peter Nathaniel and Andrew Hawthorne, a biographical writer and a veterinarian, identical twins, 33; Madison Harriet, wedding planner, and himself, 27; Elizabeth May and Catherine Emily, high school chemistry teacher and graduate student for Student Affairs, identical twins, 24; Thomas Samuel, 21, unemployed/parental monitor/professional slacker; Joan Sydney, high school student, 17. LIFESTYLE BORN: Boston, Massachusetts. RAISED: Boston, Massachusetts. VEHICLE: 2012 Honda CR-V, which older brother Andrew passed down to him when he traded up. PETS: A Dalmation named Lucky. Mason really liked 101 Dalmations growing up… POLITICAL AFFILIATION: Apathetically liberal. Don’t be a dick. RELIGION: Raised Irish-Catholic, semi-practicing, semi-agnostic, semi-probably-going-to-Hell. BELIEFS: Mason believes that MLK Jr. had it right when he said the arc of the universe trends toward justice. There’s so much bad crap in the world, and he mostly just tries not to add to it. Aside from that, he believes in good music, good people, good books, in that order. Because he can’t not, he believes in God, but in the more vague way - he doesn’t think there’s a right or a wrong way to worship, as long as it doesn’t hurt anybody else; God, Buddha, Allah…whatever makes the universe line up, Mason can get behind. MISDEMEANORS: Mason’s got more charm than he knows what to do with, so of all the stupid, minorly illegal things he’s done, all but three incidents never officially made it to his record. Once, when he was 18 and some creepy 45-year-old tried to grab at Madison, which in turn caused Mason to bust out those self-defense moves and dislocate his shoulder; once, for public intoxication during his freshman year and once for vandalism. He’s still mad they painted over his graffiti. FELONIES: None. TICKETS AND/OR VIOLATIONS: Mason has the worst luck in the world when it comes to parking meters running out of time. DRUGS: Okay, listen. Mason did the whole party scene, the whole recreational drug scene, the whole waking-up-in-the-hospital-with-eight-siblings-ready-to-kill-him-as-soon-as-they’re-sure-he’s-alive scene. No more, no thank you, not ever. SMOKES: We get it, he vapes. ALCOHOL: Frequently. DIET: Mason still pretty much eats the same way he did when he was 17 - that is, like someone else is gonna beat him to the punch. Given that he’s trying to make ends meet, Mason resorts to cheap and easy over healthy, but he gets enough exercise and has an active enough lifestyle that it doesn’t really show. Life’s too short for bad food or bad sex. interview section “ we know that when you were a young and fresh faced kid, you were the party monster of the scene so tell us what you are like now ” Man, I’m never gonna live that down, am I? I’m older, I’m smarter, I’m now found behind the DJ booth instead of wasted in the bathroom with someone I’m never gonna see again. It’s not a crime to have fun, and I refuse to be buried before I’m dead, but I look back at some of the choices I made back then and just…cringe. I still know what’s happening and I’m not about to buy a sweatervest and move to the suburbs, but that sorta lifestyle isn’t maintainable. At least not without being like, a gazillionaire with no friends. “ we’ve asked everyone and now it’s your turn, sex or romance? ” What kinda question is that? Is this a “which do you want right now” question or a “which would you prefer if you had to only have one for the rest of your life” question? Jeeze, I dunno. I’m great in bed, and I really appreciate people who are the same, but lately…I mean, I dunno. I don’t necessarily believe in soulmates or ‘true love’ or anything like that, but…sometimes it might not be so bad, having someone to come home to, y’know? It might not be so bad, having someone to wine and dine. I dunno. I guess if the right person came along, I’d have both, right? “ rumor has it that you plan to be the biggest dj in cincinnati but in the meantime what are you doing to support yourself? ” Hey, get it right. I plan to be the biggest DJ in the world, but yes, Cinci is the first step, and I’m supporting myself with my art–playing local gigs and mixing tapes for people, getting the name out there, showing people a good time. I do some part-time, fast-cash stuff…oh, wait, that sounds awful. I’m not a hooker. I’m a waiter sometimes, sometimes I go do those like sleep studies at the University, sometimes I do some freelance writing, sometimes I grab my crappy electric keyboard and play streetcorners. We all gotta get by. “ it can’t all be good music and good times, so what’s the hardest part about being an openly gay man for you? ” The hordes of beautiful women who want to date me. …I’m kidding, ish. The hardest part is worrying about discrimination - and, like, the actual discrimination and stereotypes that follow you around when you’re gay and okay about it. So many people want to know about your “coming out trauma” and it’s like, dude, first of all, back off, second off, why do people think being gay automatically equates to something terrible having to have happened to you?? This is just who I am and I love who I love and people want to make such a big deal out of it. “ in order to become the next great dj, what’s the road map for the future looking like for you? ” It’s looking…well, I’d love to say it’s looking easy like Sunday morning, but I wasn’t raised to be a liar, so it’s looking challenging, at best, and like a fool’s dream at worst, but…well, a liar I’m not, and whether or not I’m a fool is still kinda up in the air. The game-plan is to get my name out locally as much as possible, get good social media coverage, get some devoted fans, score a big gig or two…someday I’d like to maybe get some of my own music out there, but I’ll fight anybody who tells me being a DJ isn’t ‘real’ work or isn’t being a ‘real’ artist, because until they’ve sat in the booth, they don’t know a dang thing. Is it bad that aside from having fun and helping other people have fun, my biggest goal is just, like, being self-sustaining? Talk about setting the bar low, I guess, but you gotta start somewhere, right?
