This is a reboot of a role-play I love but sadly, Starlight is going to be inactive for a certain amount of time so I'm rebooting it. Yeah :)

Oliver White thought he had a perfect life. He had friends who loved him, a family who cared for him and a boyfriend who treated him like he was a prince. An aspiring and up and coming singer in the UK, he thought that nothing could go wrong… but life is a roller-coaster.

One day, his boyfriend, James, started to become abusive. At first it was small things, getting into his head or the occasional slap but soon it became worse. James manipulated his friends and soon they left, his mother passing in a 'car accident' shortly after. Even though he loved James, he knew he couldn't stay. So after years of being with him, he left to America, with the help of his father, to start fresh and go back to school.

Now in New York City and truly by himself, Oliver couldn't have felt more out of place. He had a few people he knew but wasn't quite friends with in his collage but no one to really be there for him.

This is Oliver meets (Your character) Dragged to a party by one of his friends, and forced to sing in front of a massive group, he nearly has a panic attack afterwards, only for (Your character) to help out. This sparks a spiral of events that causes drama to ensue. Hopefully Oliver and (your character) can stick together.

Yeah, people should know my rules by now, main ones is that you're nice and post at least two sentences.

This will be mature for possible smexy stuff, dealing with depression, abuse and stuff like that and gay if you couldn't tell.

I'll post a temp if anyone is interested.

Also, Oliver is a major twink and sub so uh, if your character could not be that, that would be very much appreciated. Otherwise go crazy with what you do with 'em.

Heya! Can I hop in?

Sure! Also welcome back :)

Thanks lol, template?

Name: Nico Harden

Age: 22

Sexuality: biromantic

Appearance: https://pin.it/ppwcwhh4xywodt but with one blue and one green eye

Personality: Nico likes to study people's actions to get an idea about them. He likes to laugh and is usually smiling, despite his childhood. Nico does have depression and puts up facade in public however he doesnt let himself get too close to people which is why he doesnt keep many friends. He has a habit if vaping when he is stressed and will occasionally head to the nearest bar/club when he is under too much pressure. Nico loves playing cricket and is on his college cricket team. He is passionate about many things and loves to try new things. One of his new hobbies is writing. Nico cares about people he loves and will not hesitate to protect them.

Backstory: Nico doesn't have much experience with affection because he was placed in the system when he was 7 because of abusive parents. Since then he has been placed in many homes. The first two homes he went to, he was still abused. He was placed in another home but ran away. At the age of 13 he was adopted by a wonderful 48 year old woman, Mrs. Aliya Foster (Uh‐Liya) but she got into a car accident and passed away, the day of his birthday. Nico became depressed and was moved to a few more homes until her ran away for good at the age of 17. He lived at a group home until he was 19, saving up a little money to move to New York.

(nice! He's lil Ollie)

Name: Oliver White
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Sexuality: GaY
Appearance: Oliver has very pale skin with light freckles coating his cheeks and skin. His also has very blonde, fluffy hair. It isn't platinum white but it's very close. He has bright baby blue eyes, rimmed with a dark blue. If you look closely you can see what looks like squiggly lines inside of them, almost like they've been cracked and glues back together again. He was a small button nose and his bottom lip is slightly bigger then his top, making it look like he's nearly always pouting or sad. He's a skinny boy, having little muscle on his body but he isn't under weight and is actually very fit. He is small, too, around 5'5/ 5'5 1/2 if you're really pushing it. He tends to wear a lot of skinny jeans and converse, the jeans in black and sometimes a dark denim. His shirts consist of over sized, grey sweaters with little logos or writing up the arms. He wears gold rimmed circle glasses but sometimes he wears contacts.
Personality: Oliver is a kind soul, always offering help when he thinks people need it. He will always be kind to everyone no matter what they've done to him, hence why he stayed with James for so long. He's a shy and timid person because of the stuff he's been through but when he opens up he's bubbly and excited, much like a puppy that has just been adopted. He always tried to cheer people up and always puts others before himself. He will neglect his mental and physical health to care for a person and make sure they are okay before himself. He is very sensitive, always taking things to heart and sometimes it gets the bets of him. He's very insecure and hates to sing in front of people because he is easily embarrassed. He blushes easily and when he does he turns a bright pink and hides his face in his hands. He is very much a kid at heart but battles with anxiety and depression. Though he tries to hide it, he has his days where it is very obvious something is wrong but he'll just wave anybody off who tries to question what it's about.
Backstory: Oliver was born a single child to the parents of Mary and Daniel White in London, England. he grew up there all his life and never had a single thing wrong. He had friends who liked him and even though he wasn't popular, people still knew him and waved and said hello when they saw him. He met James when we was sixteen, James being in his last year of school at the time. Oliver was dealing with discovering himself and James helped figure out he was gay. His feelings grew and soon enough the two were a couple, his friends and family supporting them. When he was seventeen he started to post videos of his singing on Youtube and became popular really quickly. It was then that James became abusive and manipulated his life. Oliver didn't leave until he was twenty two and those years with James were the worst of his life. A part of him still loves the old James but he needs to let go and knows it. His dad and agent helped him move to America and start a new life there, though his dad stayed in England. His agent is planning on moving to America soon. He enrolled in collage to forget about everything.
Likes: Tea, libraries, cats, peace and quiet, fairy lights, over sized jumpers, singing/sing writing
Dislikes: crowds, loud noises, James, manipulative/mean people, small and cramped spaces

Ready to start?

It was early in the evening, the moon was just rising over the horizon but it seemed like the party had been in full swing for a while. Luckily it was already dark so the party lights and glow sticks were very obvious, as was the music that was blasting from inside the massive house.

Drunk men and women were littered around, either drinking or grinding on each other. Ollie, well, Ollie was currently trying to find some way to not have a panic attack. This party was currently ticking off a few of the things he disliked and he was not okay with that. Nevertheless, he couldn't leave and that was due to the fact that his ride didn't want to leave yet.

Liam had already tried to convice Ollie to use the karaoke machine that he was currently using. Even though the singer had denied the offer, he knew Liam was going to make him sing soon. If not after he'd finished.

Nico laughed at a joke his friend told him and scanned the crowd, planning out his escape before the female population decided to try and hook up with him. He waved to a rand person in the crowd and left his place beside the counter, to get some air

Soon enough, Ollie was dragged onto the stage, anxiety rising to whole knew levels. He knew he was good, yes, but he hadn’t sang in front of a group this size for a while. Swallowing, he took up the mic and began to sing, words effortlessly following from his lips even though on the inside he was slowly panicking.

Nico stopped short, hearing the most beautiful singing voice he had ever heard. He turned towards the stage and looked at the boy singing, he looked like a mouse who had seen a cat and had no escape. The boys voice cracked and nico sighed, trudging back towards the stage and taking the microphone from the boy "alright that's all we have from this one, can anyone beat his singing?" He called, asking the boy a silent question with his eyes are you ok?

Ollie released a breath, answering the boys question with a subtle shake of his head. He needed to get out, he needed fresh air and space. The room felt too crowded and small and he just wanted to go home before he started crying. Though he was grateful for whoever this man was for getting him out of this situation.

A random drunk came and took the mic from Nico and he started singing off beat. Nico groaned and put a hand on the boys back and led him out, theough the back gate. "Are you ok? You seemed like you were trapped and I had to take you out of there." He said

Ollie shook his head, wrapping his arms around his stomach, taking some deep and shaky breaths. He was still freaking out a little, heart rate speeding up and slowing down. He was still trying to get air into his lungs properly.

(Oh yeah I forgot to say, magic is totally okay if you want to use it)

(Woo!)

Nico sighed and lightly grabbed the boys shoulders and made looked him in the eye, his different coloured eyes glowed slightly and Nico sent a thought of safety in his way.

Ollie blinked a few times, breathing evening out and heart rate slowing down and settling back to normal. After a second, he looked away and blushed lightly, “Thanks…” He said quietly, “F-For getting me out of there…”

"Yeah…dont mention it." He muttered, holding his head in his hands and trying to stop the world form moving.

Ollie tilted his head to the side, taking a small step closer to him, “Hey… you okay?” He asked, hoping that the other was okay.

Nico waved a hand "I'm fine, just a headache." He faked a smile and stood up straight "why are you here? If you're so scared of people, why did you come?" He asked

Ollie shrugged and looked back towards the house, “My friend kinda forced me to come… wants me to get to know people and stop being a, and I quote, ‘sheltered British boy.’”

Nico laughed "a place like this isn't where you go for fun or to met new people, you go down to Rickey's for that!" He grinned

Ollie looked back and tilted his head to the side, looking a lot like a confused puppy, “Rickey’s?”

Nico smiled and led the boy into the front yard "Rickey's is only the best late night diner. They have coffee and tea with muffins and bagels or lunch and dinner if you feel like it. A lot of college kids go their, needs, jocks etc. You can meet a lot of new people there." Nico frowned and faced him "I'm Nico by the way and I'll tell you this, dont believe any of the rumours you hear about me." He said walking to his bike.
