riley taylor , SIXTEEN | MCKINLEY HIGH STUDENT | STRAIGHT | ADORKABLE |
[/div] This here is Riley, and he's sixteen years old, just livin' in Lima and doing his own thang. Riley's a really involved kid, so chances are you know him (or at least watch him get tossed in the dumpster every morning) from SOMETHING - he's president of the Celibacy Club, part of the AV club, a second baseman on the Titans baseball team, and is thinking about joining glee club if he can manage to get over his bad case of stagefright. Riley's not afraid to acknowledge himself as a nerd, but he's really friendly, so if you don't mind that he's not all that popular, he'd be happy to be your bud. As far as relationships go, he's straight and a little (a LOT) inexperienced. One of Riley's big morals is the whole 'wait-until-marriage' thing, so it might be fun to roleplay him having a girlfriend who pressures him....it's kind of reverse of the usual situation, with the guy pressuring the girl, so it might be cool *shrug* Riley tries to be nice to people, but for some reason, the big studly jocks tend to pick on him a lot. If you're one of those people, chances are he isn't too fond of you. Anyways, if you wanna plot with Riley, just post below - no form! - and wait for me to get off my lazy bum and reply to you (: [/td][/tr][/td][/tr][/table][/center]

quinn & riley, i worship you and this character because of it's play by. okay, now i've got that off my chest XD anyway, we have to make these two friends. i don't know how we'd set about doing it, i was thinking they bump into each other or something and quinn could be like 'do i know you from somewhere?' or something. i don't know. whatever you wanna do is fine XD credit to BABY DARLING ! @ caution 2.0

riley&quinn , YOU SHOULD WORSHIP RILEY xD Ahem...anyways - yes, Quinn and Riley should be friends. It's inevitable. Or something like that. I like your thread idea, because if Quinn was like "Do I know you from somewhere?" Riley would probably think it was obvious who he was (since he knew her from Celibacy Club) and just stare at her with one of those You-Must-Be-Crazy looks on his face. Which would be extremely amusing, haha. So, do you have an open thread for me to snag or does one of us need to start one?

riley + miki = miley riki?!
I am very, very excited that you've chosen Cameron as a play-by (even though he's not my absolute favorite GP cast member). This post is influenced by this character's play-by as well as his application. I would very much like to put these two in a romantic sort of deal, but perhaps ending with a friendship rather than a long-standing relationship. Miki's just as inexperienced as he is but I've always pictured her as being more eager. The only thing that I can see that might cause these two to clash, besides their different views on 'waiting', would be Miki's extreme bluntness (which often causes problems with other relationships as well). Also, they're both sixteen and I think they're both sophomores (I really need to re-read that app) so they might have some classes with each other.
^_^

riley&miki , First of all, THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT. I tried really hard to keep it to what I thought Cameron's character would be had he actually won The Glee project and I'm happy that it seems to have worked c: I agree that if Miki and Riley were to go about some kind of relationship, it would probably end on good terms rather than being an 'OMG I LOVE YOU FOREVER LET'S GET MARRIED' thing. I think Riley would be drawn to Miki at first, but then feel a little weird once things started to get a little serious, because I think he's the opposite of Miki in the sense that he would be a little awkward and shy rather than just eager. I think the different views on 'waiting' would probably be the dealbreaker in the end rather than Miki's bluntness because, as a teenage guy, he already finds it hard enough to want to stick to his morals without putting a willing girl into the mix. Thoughts?

Agreed! Part of the curiosity could be culture based. While being Asian-American, the Yashida family is still tied to the Shinto religion that is prevalent in Japan. Although it's more of a spirituality than anything else. If you'd like we could work on the basis that they've already met (or at least seen each other). I suggest this because in my thread with Hal (David K.) there are pictures on Miki's USB that are of several club activities and one of them is the promotion of thew Celibacy Club president. XD In any case, I'm willing to start whatever thread we agree upon and some of the places you'd most likely find Miki are the Astronomy Classroom or the Sanpuku (the Yashida's restaurant, which is sandwiched between a salon and a laundromat, with an insurance company across the street). Also, because she's a photographer for the Yearbook Club, maybe the two could work on some sort of slideshow for the graduating class of 2011-2012. It's early for that though.

riley&miki , I think Riley could have at least noticed Miki before or something, and I definitely agree that part of his curiosity could be culture-based. He has such strong beliefs that I think it's hard for him to imagine believing anything else, so that could definitely draw him to Miki and give her a sort of 'air of mystery,' if you will. I kinda like the graduation slideshow idea - Riley's in AV club, so maybe they could've gotten paired up so he could help her with FX and techy stuff like that? And then one of them could ask the other out, or something? Wow, I say 'something' a lot... xP

terry & rileyHello, only member of our baseball team! XD Well, like I said in the Cbox briefly, these two have to thread, since Terry is coaching and Riley is playing. See, I make plotting so easy. XD
As for aspects of their personality, I can see Terry being slightly annoyed by the fact that Riley lets himself get thrown in dumpsters. I don't know if the issue of Terrance's sexuality would ever come up in mixed conversation between a coach and a student, but if it did, it could be a point of discomfort. Otherwise, Terry would do his best to protect Riley, since he's protective of all his kids on baseball. dave & rileyI assume that Dave used to throw Riley into dumpsters prior to his whole nervous breakdown in junior year, and hasn't thought much about that since. It could be another one of those things where Dave is so blinded by his Kurt obsession that he barely realizes how much he annoyed/confused/hurt/your adjective here Riley until directly confronted with it. Since they both seem to be vying for a spot in Glee club, it might make things interesting.
EDIT: AND I just noticed that Riley might be dating Miki later. Well, Dave will try to be supportive, and probably come off scary as hell. XD

riley&terry , I think it could make for some fun threads having the whole coach-player heart-to-heart thing about the dumpster issue...Riley's not really the type to go up and confront people, so it could definitely be annoying that he just lets himself get picked on all the time, from an outsider's perspective. I can definitely see Riley being thankful for Terry's protective nature, though, because I'm sure he would've broken up at least a couple of one-sided fights by now. As for the sexuality thing, I'm not sure if it would come up in teacher-student/coach-player conversation or not, but if it ever became an issue, I think Riley might feel a little uncomfortable but try not to give it too much mind. riley&dave , Since Riley has been bullied by most/all of the members of the football team, I'm assuming Karofsky would have been a chief offender in the past. Riley believes in forgiveness, but I think it might be hard for him to try and look past the faults of one of the chief people who picked on him. There would definitely be a lot of tension between them, regardless of how much Dave has reformed or tried to reform. With what you said about glee club, I think that the two could maybe bond over that after eventually working past their issues (something that sounds like it would be a LOOONG process, haha) or it could just be an excuse for the two to run into each other. Oh, and with Miki and Riley's relationship, I can see Dave trying to play the overprotective big brother role....I'm laughing just thinking about it xD

Samantha&&Riley;; Hmm lets see, Samantha is really quiet and her personality comes out through her singing, so i was thinking that maybe they could "bond" over that, if she ever opens up. Up to you, also if you think of anything else, I'm up for anything.

terry & rileyJust came up with an idea: Riley blew a few catches the other day. Terry, in his infinite hyperactive wisdom, decides he's going to just hit balls at the kid all afternoon while talking about how he keeps getting shoved in dumpsters. It makes no sense, but it does explain why the two of them would be the only ones practicing. Like, literally practicing, not Blaine and Kurt 'practicing'. dave & rileyOh God, overprotective big brother Dave would be a ball of hypocrisy. "I know I used to shove you in lockers, but would you please refrain from being too physical with my best friend over there? I won't hurt you, just... glare."
As for their Glee club thing, it would be interesting if they managed to tolerate each other, based on their own attempts to overcome their problems. I doubt they'll ever be on good terms, but Zoe and I were talking about it in regards to Quinn and Dave - Dave is so centered on what he did to Kurt that he's oblivious to what he did to everyone else, and needs people to remind him that he has a HELL of a lot of explaining to do to EVERYONE, not just Kurt. The looooooong redeeming period will give us time to do that, if you want to go that route.

riley&samantha , I think that sounds like a great idea, but the only problem would be that Riley is also a little shy, so until they start to get comfortable around each other, it might be a little awkward trying to thread. Maybe the two could have a sort of past event to work off of, like Riley walked in on Samantha singing one day and just ran off all scaredy-cat-like, or something. That way they'd have something to talk about and wouldn't just be like, "Um, hi...hehe, I have no idea what to say. This is so delightfully awkward." xD riley&terry , You have succeeded in your homework, Hal...I congratulate you. xD Would you mind starting the thread? I would do it, but I feel like Terry would have to be the first one on the field...I can't see Riley being early when he thinks he's in trouble, haha. riley&dave , Oh, dear...Riley would be so terrified. He'd be mentally preparing himself to get punched in the face, the poor kid. Haha. I think that it would be cool if they had sort of an unlikely understanding eventually. Obviously, it would take a long time for Riley to forgive him since he was such a major target for Dave's bullying, but I think both of them wanting to audition for glee club but having their own concerns about it would be something that could awkwardly bring them together.
