@TiredOtter?

Here!

Awesome! Just to clarify, are we doing this in Verona, or somewhere else, like America?

We can do it in Verona!

Alright! And as far as the whole ‘warring families’ thing goes, do you want to incorporate any of that, or just leave it out? We could always do a mafia type thing

Depends on how serious we want it to be, I’ve seen everything from warring families to rival restaurants😂

😂
I sorta want Juliet to be a badass crime boss’s daughter lmao, but again, totally up to you
Maybe the Italian mafia really hates this one specific family’s bakery…? Lmao

Lmao let’s do mafia style, the bakery can be the front of Romeo’s family’s business

XD sounds great
Want me to put up a template?

Sounds good!

Alright!
Also, are they going to die at the end?
Finally—Can I be Juliet?

Okay so I found this as a fairly good resource as far as summaries of the play go:

https://www.sparknotes.com/shakespeare/romeojuliet/summary/

But maybe we could do a slow burn romance instead, to make the rp last longer? And maybe start it off with a party that Romeo sneaks into instead of just a dinner?

Name: Juliet Capulet
Age: 17, high school senior
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Role: Juliet
Appearance: Rich brown hair falling a few inches past her shoulders, straight near her scalp but falling into loose waves and ringlets closer to the bottom, in a middle part with a widow’s peak. Deep brown, almond-shaped eyes shot trough with streaks of hazel and flecks of gold, long eyelashes, full lips, very ‘Italian’ features. Tan skin marred by countless small scars from various brawls throughout the years, the most noticeable markings being the long, jagged scar running the length of her back, as well as the similar one running from a between her left cheekbone and the corner of her lips up to a spot below the corner of her right eye closest to her nose. 5’8”, stronger and more muscled then the average young woman without being buff, or super lean and slim. Slight, softish curves, broad but skim shoulders.
General Attire: Anything easy to move or run in, prefers the traditional scarlet and crimson colours of her family, as well as the occasional browns. But when given the opportunity, enjoys wearing floor-length gowns with swishy skirts, a luxury her father does not often give her. Always wears her grandmother’s golden cross necklace beneath her top. Has pierced ears, and occasionally wears tiny, circular gold studs.
Personality: An excellent liar and actor, usually brave and fearless, not one to shy away from an opportunity. Prideful, will fight anyone who insults her family’s honour, quick to anger, but knows when not to be impulsive and stay in the background. Ambitious, resourceful, a survivor who usually makes her true emotions and dislikes being soft or showing weakness. Mostly introverted, isn’t great at small talk or making friends.
Info about their family/the mafia: Her father, Angelo Capulet, was hard on her since she was very young, always pushing her to live up to the family name. He never really showed much affection towards her, or treated her like a daughter, but did love her, just wanted the best for her without knowing how to express it. Her mother was his partner for years, whip-smart and absolutely capable of sharing the title of ‘mafia boss’ with him, always respected and treated with awe. She was shot by a Montague when Juliet was eight, the Capulets’ main rival family, which only fanned the flames of the burning anger and hate between the warring groups. Had a boyfriend near the end of ninth grade, who her father promptly frightened away and told her that she wasn’t allowed to have any relationships, since she would be married off to someone of power, someone who’s stance would benefit the Capulets (a huge family) when she was old enough.
Other: Secret love for baking…. idk?
(Is she okay?)

Sounds good!

Dw about it, don’t pressure yourself!)

Name: Romeo Montague
Age: 17, high school senior
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Role: Romeo
Appearance: Short and messy jet black hair that’s purposely styled to look effortless with hazel eyes. His nose is slightly crooked from being broken and his face is framed by a sharp square jawline. Romeo stands around 6’1” and has a muscled build from playing almost every sport he could get his hands on. His skin is olive toned, and his face is dotted with freckles, a few scattered on his arms and legs as well.
General Attire: Loose sweatpants, usually black or dark grey. His shirts are usually some shade of blue, but he can also be seen wearing his own sports jerseys. His number is always 3 for pretty much every sport he’s played.
Personality: Romeo is the ultimate prep-jock. He has a knack for troublemaking, but always manages to get out of any sticky situations with his wit and charm. He’s more likely to win a physical fight than a verbal one, but can’t stand when someone insults his honor. He considers himself a leader, but acts more like a follower, especially around his best friend Mercutio.
Family Info: Romeo grew up following in the footsteps of Rafael Montague, his father and mentor, learning how to be a leader. However, he spends most of his time with his mother, helping to maintain the mafia’s front as a bakery. For a child from the mafia, Romeo had it relatively easy. But he still resents the responsibilities his father has given him, and wishes he could be free from the mafia as a whole. His best friend Mercutio’s family are also involved in the mafia, which is one of the main reasons Romeo has refused to flee despite his misery.
Other: Athletically gifted more so than mentally gifted.
