2 requests. 8D

[jaeda renée cohen]

So before I make a new character, I want to see if anybody will pick up the two character requests for her plot. (Cause I really don't want to put the time into making her profile if the requests are never filled, because then she's just a useless character taking up a face claim.) Anyway, here you go:

the history ,

5 years ago...

MYSTIC (who I will be playing) is a sweet girl, incredibly shy. Really, she's scared of people. She's easily startled... blah blah blah. Anyway, she's not one of those boy-chasing girls. In fact, in sixteen years she has not had a boyfriend, ever. She has lived in Miami all her life, with her former SEAL father, and older brothers. The summer between sophomore and junior year in high school (10th and 11th grade), she turns 16 and decides to get a part-time job at a little cafe` so she can help out a little when she graduates and goes to nursing school. She doesn't expect the job to really be all that significant to her. As far as she can tell, all she'll need to do is smile and take orders. Can't be that important, right? Enter GUY 1. He is 18, and just graduated a week ago. He went to the same high schools as MYSTIC, but because of the difference in year, they had no classes together and he always only got fleeting glances of her in the hallway. He didn't want to seem like a creeper, so he never said anything to her. And now that he's enlisted in the Army, he thinks he's never seeing her again. Today, he is killing time until he has to report to the recruiter's station, and then be hauled off to basic training. So he goes to the cafe` where, lo and behold, MYSTIC is his waitress. He is clearly nervous, so she starts talking to him, and is generally very sweet to him. He asks to meet her after she gets off, because he has five hours before he has to go. She agrees to meet him when she gets off, which would be in half an hour. Sure enough, when she gets off, instead of going straight home like she normally would, she meets GUY 1 at the small pier located close to the cafe`. They have a rather lengthy conversation, getting to know each other quickly, and GUY 1 promises to find her when he gets back. Sure enough, once he gets back, he finds her, and they are officially dating, even while he goes to advanced training. Shortly after coming home from AIT, though, GUY 1 gets the news- he's going overseas. It was the summer between junior and senior year (11th and 12th grade) for MYSTIC, and she's just turned 17. They spend the next month together practically attached at the hip. The day before GUY 1 is supposed to leave, he takes MYSTIC to a secluded area, where he asks her to marry him, even though she's not 18. She says yes, and they decide to get married when he comes back home- it was supposed to be about a year, so it was good timing. Then, he decided to do something crazy- something that would prove he meant everything, that he loved MYSTIC. It was late, and only one place was open- a tattoo parlor. He got a tattoo on his wrist saying "forever". The next day, GUY 1 left. If was emotional, and MYSTIC was clinging to him for several minutes, just crying and wishing he could stay, but then she let him go so he wouldn 't get in trouble. As promised, they wrote letters as regularly, and called whenever GUY 1 could get to a phone. Then in one letter, GUY 1 informed MYSTIC that he wouldn't be able to write for a while, but not to worry, because he'd been fine so far. But the next letter MYSTIC got wasn't from GUY 1 telling her that everything was okay. It was the "If you're reading this..." letter. GUY 1 was dead. Or, that's what the Army thought. There was a clerical error. He wasn't actually dead- but pretty damn close to it. For a month, he was in a hospital in Germany, completely unconscious. His family flew in, even though he'd made it clear, previously, that he wanted nothing to do with them. Thus, they had no idea about MYSTIC, which was why they didn't call to tell her about the mistake. GUY 1 eventually woke up, but he wasn't the same. Physically, he was scarred. There had been an explosion, and he had burns on his back, as well as a cracked skull. He had no recollection of his past, or anything at all. Once he was well enough to go home, his family took him home, and helped him build a new life. GUY 1 had completely forgotten MYSTIC, who was now heartbroken over his supposed death. GUY 1 found a new set of friends, a new career (the Army discharged him), and rebuild broken relationships with his family, who collectively decided to not tell him about the fighting they'd done before the accident.

One year ago...

MYSTIC has moved on... sort of. She finished off her senior year well enough, and got into nursing school. She threw herself into the course work, and passed with flying colors. She had always wanted to be a nurse, and was glad when, because of her high scores in nursing school, the local hospital hired her in a heartbeat. Unlike the cafe`, this job she did expect something to come out of it. She would be saving lives, or at least helping to save them. Maybe she would make a difference in someone's life by giving them the smile or kind word that they needed. What she didn't expect was GUY 2. He was another nurse, and even in months of MYSTIC working at the same hospital, they had never met because of their shifts being weird, and the fact that GUY 2 was in a different nursing unit within the hospital. So they'd never actually had the chance to work together. The meeting was a chance encounter- MYSTIC could not reach a mug that was on the top shelf in the nurses' lounge, and was climbing onto the counter to get it just as GUY 2 was walking into the room. He helped her out, and they had a short, slightly awkward conversation. His beeper went off, and GUY 2 had to go back to work, and he did- but not before asking MYSTIC for her number. She gave it to him, and that night GUY 2 called her and asked her out. She accepted, and soon they went out on their first date. For the first time in almost four years, MYSTIC was able to start letting go of GUY 1's memory, and allow herself to love again. She fell quickly- they both did- and after only a month of dating, they were engaged. A month after that, they were married.

present day ,

Married life has been great for MYSTIC and GUY 2. They've been together just two months shy of a whole year, and have yet to have any major fights. In fact, the only time they've ever had anything close to an arguement was when GUY 2 wouldn't wear his seatbelt and MYSTIC was afraid for his safety. But that was just a little tiff, and they weren't even that mad about it. That's not to say they haven't had problems, though. Almost right away, they both wanted to start a family- they wanted to start it soon, have one, and then maybe one or two more a few years down the road. Three months after getting married, they found out MYSTIC was expecting. But it didn't last long. At just 8 weeks, MYSTIC miscarried, and they were both devastated, and too scared to try again right away. A few months later, they started trying again, and so far have been unsuccessful. But they are still happy together, and know that whenever it's meant to happen, it will happen.

GUY 1, one day, was reading the newspaper. His memory was still gone, until when he just so happened to be reading a certain section of the paper with wedding announcements, and pictures of the happy couples. They weren't in a picture, but one of the couples listed was MYSTIC and GUY 2. All of a sudden, his memory came flooding back. Not really all of it, but major pieces- he was once engaged to the woman in the paper- he was sure it must be her, simply because nobody else had that name- he still loved her, and an accident overseas had taken it all away. Slowly, over the next few months, he regained almost all of his memory. But there was still an obstacle- the woman he loved was married. He loved her too much to purposely put her in a position to have to choose, and so he made a tough decision. He would leave her alone. He would act as though he had never regained his memory as far as she went, or never met her in the first place. It would be hard, but it was what he felt had to be done.

Meanwhole, GUY 1 and GUY 2 met one day, just a chance encounter on the street. They started becoming really good friends- best friends, even. A kind of "bromance", if you will. Anyway, GUY 1 knew that GUY 2 was married. Hell, he probably should have recognized the name from the paper. But he didn't make the connection. And so far, he has not had the chance to meet GUY 2's wife- MYSTIC.

the plot ,

Obviously, this is a request, so there will be some interaction between the three characters. Plot-wise, I was thinking MYSTIC and GUY 1 would run into each other one day. She would be shocked and refuse to believe it was him, until he showed her the tattoo. Then they'd end up back at his place and, just because it was so shocking to see him again, they'd... do things. Yeah. *ahem* Anyway. She would feel guilty, and act weird around GUY 2, because she loves both of them. She would continue hanging out with GUY 1, but refuse any more "adult" encounters, because she's just not the kind of girl to sleep around behind her husband's back. Then one day GUY 2 would invite GUY 1 over to where he and MYSTIC live. MYSTIC would know GUY 2 was having a friend over, and GUY 1 would know GUY 2's wife would be home. But they don't know it's each other- until they end up face-to-face. Then, of course, MYSTIC would spill the beans, because she's incapable of keeping massive secrets like that. What happens directly afterward, we can discuss. I was also thinking GUY 2 would die. Yes. Just figured I'd tell you now. (Probably, following the confrontation, he'd get upset, go driving, and take a turn too fast or something.)

Nevermind. Since I already have four characters, I can't make the necessary one for this plot. I'd like to keep this thread up, though, because I'm eventually killing off Jaeda, which would open up a spot for Mystic. Sorry, guys, gotta follow the rules. /=
