yeah, who are you? yeah, who are you?

history:

Olivia was adopted by John and Natalie Ward. Her birth mother was simply too young, and gave her up. When she was younger, she used to want to find her and meet her. But as she got older, she felt it was only fair to let her birth mother move on with her life, just as she had done. Her life as a child was uneventful. Her mother often complained that Liv was a hard child to keep up with, and that she hoped one day she would settle down. She has always loved the arts, and wanted to travel the world being on stage acting.

When she got older, thats exactly what she did. Or tried to do. She traveled around to some major cities, exploring and working small time jobs to pay some of the bills, hoping to get a break to the big stage. Making friends along the way, breaking hearts, working her fingers to the bone, and of course dreaming of bigger things. About a year ago her parents got a divorce, and the news shocked her. She always thought they loved each other, and would never part. Thats when she started living life a little more cautiously, but her mother always chastised her for it. "Don't take baby steps." She'd always tell Livy, "Jump." She hasn't spoken to her dad since.

She has yet to jump, but her baby steps are becoming a little bigger every day. Maybe, she will find that one person that inspires her to jump, and then fly. So what is she doing today? Working at a small dinner, looking for someone special, wanting another dog for company, and her only relationship in the past year has been with her canvas and paintbrushes, whom she loves dearly.

Jocelyn was flat on her back, book in hands, feet crossed at the ankle totally unaware of what was going on around her. She was so into the book that even a tennis ball flying right by her head from two rowdy boys didnt cause a flinch. Eyes still flying across the pages, she reached her hand blindly into the basket to pull out a few grapes. She loved making a picnic in the Gardens, a good book, sweet fruits and a juicy sandwich. She pulled her sunglasses down over her eyes to shield from the fierce sun, eyes never leaving the pages. She turned the page and reached the start of a new chapter, she let the book fall to her lap as she took a breath and looked around the beautiful garden.

She had picked a spot that was away from most people, among the mazes of bushes and flowers, the small pond filled with goldfish off to her left. Birds chirped and squirrels picked up any food left behind. She smiled and closed her eyes, taking in everything. She flicked the book back up to her eyes and continued reading about dragons and dragon riders in Eragon. She loved the fantasy, it was her favorite type of book.

Okay, I can't accept this just yet, but I will walk you through to help you out so you can get to fixing this up asap.

1. Don't forget this is a Victorian era RP, so 1986 isn't going to work as a birth year. Actually, you don't even have to include the year because the forum doesn't have a set year. It's just at some point in the Victorian era.

2. That being said, a lot of other things need to be changed. You don't need to be a Victorian era whiz(I'm certainly not), you just need to have a general idea of what it was like back then. So she wouldn't have been going to high school or college and she certainly wouldn't want to be in a movie because chances are, she wouldn't know what a movie or a camera was. A great alternative to this would be her wanting to be in the opera or just an actress on stage. And instead of working class, you'd be better off saying upper, lower or middle class.

3. Also, up at the top, the images need to be 100px by 100px. This is a very common avatar/icon size. Also, the title of your app should be WARD, Olivia. And the name at the top, below the images should be all in caps. Basically, wherever I put caps, you should have caps(does that make sense? I can show you an example if you want).


If I notice anything else, I'll let you know. Your character has great potential, you just need to bring her back in time. If you need help, don't hesitate to ask, we all love to help. I would suggest maybe looking up some info on the Victorian era. Like I said before, there's no need to be a whiz, a general overview would be good enough. A great book to read that takes place around this time period would be Libba Bray's A Great and Terrible Beauty. If you need any help, let me know.
