I am honestly the WORST at summaries. Anyways, hi y'all. I decided to jump on the bandwagon and write an OC story with the whole "decision influential" stuff, it seems like a lot of fun. I've been thinking about doing one for awhile, but finally decided on it. It's my first one so I hope I don't disappoint '^'
So here's the deal, I will be incorporating people's OCs into the story I can only handle a probably max of 10ish OCs though. I will choose them based on detail and how well they are portrayed in the sign ups. My standards are very low, so I don't expect perfection, just well thought out OCs. This means no Mary Sues, "perfect" characters, or characters with powers. This also means descriptive signups, so no one word response (except name and stuff where only one word is necessary. I'm referring to personality, likes, etc.)
Submissions through the PM are preferred, but if you would rather submit via review, I will be okay with that.
OC SIGN UPS ARE CLOSED!
Here are my OCs for reference :3
—
Name: Zoe Richards
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Personality: She is very sarcastic no matter who she's around, but tends to stay quiet around newer people/not-as-close friends. Around her closer friends she is a lot more talkative and bubbly and is actually a nice and kind-hearted person when you get to know her, but still a genuine smart ass. She's typically flexible with tasks, changes, or sudden events, but finds it hard to stay calm when she's under pressure
Background: She was born in a city in Ohio. She lived there until she was about 12. Her dad works as a mechanical engineer and her mom is a pediatrician. Her dad got a job offer, so they moved to Colorado.
Appearance: Zoe has long, dark brown hair that comes down a little past her shoulders, light skin, as well as bright blue eyes. She is very short compared to everyone else (about 5'1") and has a thin build.
Typical Outfit: Typically, she wears a pink sweater with a lime green scarf and dark blue jeans in colder weather. Underneath, she wears either T-shirts or tank tops.
Likes: Doodling on occasion, writing, stargazing, traveling, fairs (gotta love that fair food), gelato, 80s music, though she hates to admit so.
Dislikes: Being in large crowds, spiders, really loud people, being cold, she likes sweet children, but she wants to drop kick the bratty ones (which makes babysitting a challenge so she doesn't usually babysit other people's kids).
Strengths: She's pretty smart, especially with science, she is also pretty good at math and English. She is also a bit of a medical nerd. She tends to be very logical and usually thinks with common sense.
Weaknesses: Probably her biggest weakness is being very short. She's always shorter than everybody else and has gotten teased because of it in the past. It's mostly a weakness because she can't reach things...She is really bad a social studies...like REALLY bad. She knows about 6 presidents and only really knows that there was a World War. She is really bad at running too.
Fears: Spiders, heights (a little), losing the ones she cares about/losing someone because of her, car crashes.
Physical activity and stuff 1-10
Running- 3
Climbing- 6
Fighting- 6
Agility- 4

Family: Mom- Anastasia Richards

She is very close to her twin brother, Derek, whom she was nearly inseparable from growing up.
Friends: After moving in for the first time, Wendy almost immediately adopted her into the girls group. Zoe mostly hangs out with her and Bebe, along with the other girls. She also became very good friends with Patty Nelson, who shares a similar dark sense of humor and sarcasm that she has (at least thats how I portray her .3.). Whenever Stan invited Wendy to hang out with him and the guys occasionally (even though Cartman hates this) she often brings Zoe with her so she can socialize with boys against her will. She gets along well with Stan and became pretty close to Kyle and Kenny. She talks with Kyle a lot because he's one of the only sane people in the town that she can relate to, and Kenny because he's just fun to hang out with in general.
Enemies: She does not consider anybody an enemy, but will argue with people who piss her off.
Crush: Eh
Random Facts: She is very cuddly despite not liking very much attention. Her favorite colors light and dark blue, and hot pink. Being that her mother is very Italian, she was taught the language early on and can almost fluently speak it. She hates it when people (besides her mom) call her by her full name, which is Zohara(her mom wanted to name her after her grandma). She enjoys singing but doesn't do it in front of people very often, and is currently learning how to play the ukulele. She has a cat named Oliver and a parrot name Tyrone.

Name: Derek Richards
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Personality: Derek can be described as a pretty chill guy. He gets along with most people and can be very dorky. He tends to be somewhat of a jokester. However, he can also be very serious, especially from being VERY protective over his sister. He can get very defensive at certain times, as well as emotional, but this is shown very often. He can rarely have moments of insanity.
Background: Pretty much same as Zoe
Appearance: Derek has dirty blonde, almost light brown hair at about medium length. He also has blue eyes that are similar to Zoe's. He is very tall (6'2") especially when standing next to his much smaller sister. He has a quite thin, muscular build.
Typical Outfit: In cold weather, he wears a grey and blue jacket as well as an occasional red scarf, and brown jeans. In warmer weather, he wears your average graphic tees and shorts or jeans.
Likes: Sports, mostly football, cars, spending time with family, video games, the outdoors, occasionally working out.
Dislikes: Shopping, any movie involving animal deaths, responsibility
Strengths: He is a pretty strong person, typically allowing him to have no trouble with big tasks. He is also very smart with technology and is quite innovative.
Weaknesses: He tends to let his emotions get the best of him, which often leads to him not being able to think straight. These things can sometimes spiral out of control to the point where he becomes hysterical.
Fears: He is freaked out by clowns and mascot costumes.

Friends: Derek talks to the main boys occasionally, especially Craig and friends, but his best friend is Kevin Stoley. They had somehow become friends after he appealed to Derek's hidden nerdy side. Though he finds him a total geek at times, he still enjoys hanging out with him and playing video games on occasion. He is also very good friends with Clyde as well. Derek also surprisingly gets along well with Cartman.
Enemies: None
Crush: I dunno
Random Facts: He is older than Zoe by 3 minutes and 48 seconds. He has a German Shepard (whose name I haven't decided on ._.). While his sister is fluent in Italian, he picked up a few words, but taught himself some German and Russian on the internet for his own amusement. His favorite colors are blue, red, and green. He broke both of his arms in an incident on the merry-go-round in 2nd grade.

Okay… Now here's kinda a prologue I guess. It's in 1st person for now, but next chapter I will make it so it's 3rd person. This is just kinda easier for me to start off the story .3.

My stare couldn't seem to leave the light blue paper that was in front of me. I received it several hours ago and within that time nothing had changed on it. My gaze traveled to the neat cursive that made up my mother's signature, a reminder that she apparently trusted me to be on my own for an entire week for some reason. I looked back up to the top of the page, reading the header time and time again, still shocked that the sentence actually existed; "South Park High Senior Vacation".
Why so shocked? First off, I didn't actually think our school had any money to spare anymore. We couldn't afford new auditorium chairs let alone an entire goddamn boat. But apparently, we received quite a bit of money as a grant from some company allowing us to be able to have a senior trip. Lucky us right? Secondly, all of the trips I've taken with this class since moving here several years ago have been extremely lame. It's basically their thing. So having a vacation that my middle class family probably couldn't even afford for a field trip is a little suspicious if you ask me.
I let out a sigh and finally decided to fold up the paper and put it into my bag. Not long after, I heard loud footsteps as my brother came barreling down the stairs. "Heyo Small Fry!" I could hear his voice before he even came into view. "Did mom or dad sign your permission form yet?"
I rolled my eyes and whipped my head around to look up at him as he turned he corner into the kitchen where I stood. "Yes I did… I take it you just got yours signed?"
"You bet Zo! Wow I didn't think we would ever get to go on a senior trip. Isn't this so amazing? I mean, you'd think if anything we would take a trip to like, a cabin in the woods or the museum, but we get to go on one of the best cruise ships in the country for an entire week!"
"Alright Derek, maybe try toning it down a bit. I read the paper, so I don't need the commentary." I said as I lifted my backpack off the floor and threw a strap around my shoulder.
Derek frowned. "Wow you seem excited…"
"I'm bursting with joy, can't you tell?" I replied sarcastically before maneuvering around him to walk up the stairs. At the top, I turned down the hallway to our room and practically tossed the bag across the floor. I jumped onto my bed and rolled onto my back, pulling out my phone to browse one of my several trash social media accounts. Derek apparently followed me up the stairs, because he appeared in my door way the second I laid down.
"So, are you going to pack stuff up?" He asked, walking over to his dresser on his side of the room. "You need to have it all ready for the trip."
"It's not for another week Dare… I'll do it the night before…" I said, not bothering to look away from my phone screen.
"Oh well, I'm going to start right now so I don't forget."
I glanced at him for a minute. "Since when are you so enthusiastic about field trips?"
"I've always loved field trips. Even the bad ones, since you don't have to go to school."
"True…"
"Plus, how could you not be enthusiastic about this one? It's a-"
"Freaking cruise. Yep you've said that already…" I finished his sentence, smirking when I saw him roll his eyes. I laid my head back down, staring at my phone. I would be lying if I said I wasn't excited. I was a little, since this would defiantly make up for all of the shitty field trips we've taken in the past, especially the one where we broke down and we spent 5 hours at the gas station playing eye spy for the duration of the trip. Yet for some reason, I felt like there was something about this one that made it too good to be true.
