I belong to too many of these so I need to make one.

Plot

Thomas Scott and Samuel Morris were best friends for their entire lives-birth and up. After collage, though, they went separate ways due to the fact the other’s dreams bored the others. (best friends are SO much fun) Thomas (Tom) went into the music industry and Samuel (Sam) went into business.

Tom wasn’t a very successful musician (money-wise), but he absolutely loved what he did and felt very content. He lived near a run-down (but still functional) school and rendered his services to helping the kids (who are ages elementary through high school and don’t have a lot of money) find the experience the beauty of music for little or not money. He made many friends out of the older kids and their relatives.

Sam became successful (in many different ways) when he opened his own business, (a thrift story) The Crow Feather, since crows found some very good objects (fun reasoning). It became very popular very fast and grew. It started out as a thrift store but he and some of his new business buddies made a magazine and sold it cheap. The subscription became very popular and the group had to expand. So they bought an office building near the thrift store and started printing more copies.

The magazine (just for a side note) was about how people can change the world. It turned out that an engineer read it and designed an engine that (if you haven’t guess it yet) that could drive 64 miles to the gallon in the worst conditions. Sam invested in this engine and it was found that was adaptable to most motor vehicles. All the car companies were soon buying these engines and Sam became a very rich man. Every Christmas, though, he sent Tom a gift. This year it was an Iphone so they could be in touch for as long as they wished.

To help him with his new success, he hired a man called Ronald Phillips to help him get organized. This man put powerful thoughts in Sam’s (who just wanted to make a difference) head. Sam listened, too trusting, to Ronald and started the road down corruption even while he was trying to save the world. After creating other things, he decided to run for President.

He ended up winning by a landslide and Congress loved him. He passed a bill though the House that Ronald had “accidentally” slipped in a clause that would make Sam more powerful. Sam soon controlled a country that was close to a dictatorship. No one could speak out against Sam, since the entire U.S.’ military was protecting him.

All the while, Tom saw what was happening to his friend and, with the passing of this bill, knew the world was in trouble. He told Sam so and Sam got mad at him. Tom then started up a rebellion called The Surviving Dove and vowed to make sure his friend realized what he was doing.

I’m sorry that beginning was so long, but I felt the history was necessary.

So basically you choose a side you want to be on and their fighting against each other (the crow feather for domination, the surviving dove for freedom)

Rules:
No god-modding
No killing other peoples characters, without their consent (obviously, some people are going to die)
Limited swearing
No gross sex scenes, I mean, come on.

There’s going to be a limited amount of characters because too many gets WAY too confusing.

This is what character profiles should look at.

name: Thomas (Tom) Scott

Age: 34

Gender: Male

Side: Surviving Doves (leader)

Appearance:
Messy, dirty blond hair and dark, almost black, eyes. He also has some stubble, just because he can. Tom always wears second-hand T-shirt and jeans (usualy with holes) and, when it gets cold, a sweatshirt.

Personality:
He is outgoing and warms up to people easily. He's easy to talk to and listens more than he speaks. Tom Believe there is good in everyone and will readily hand out second and third chances, though he will disicpline as well as forgive.

Tom tends to stare off into space a lot and has a minescule attention span. He loves to spend time with kids. He also loves to make people laugh and smile. When Tom is serious, he will contemplate a problem and will only decide on a plan when all the facts are given to him.

History:
He grew up quite happily with his best friend, Sam Morris. They did everything together (pulled pranks, got into trouble in every possible way...stuff like that). When they graduated from high school, they promised each other that they'd stay friends to death. And they followed through, every holiday, they got together with their families and were just like they were in high school.

This went on for years and years until Tom started to notice the corruption that Sam was falling into. Tom told Sam exactly what he though, just as he'd always done. Instead of listening to Tom, though, Sam blew up and told Tom never to speak to him again.

Soon after, Sam was elected President and Tom started up The Surviving Dove, a peaceful resistance, and they became enemies.

(by the way, Jade, the president has to be at least 35 (giggles) Pay attention in Government, young lady)

Name: Ashley Herse

Age: 22

Gender: Female

Side you’re on: Crow Feather

Appearance: [URL]http://www.srm-solutions.com/Portals/3/Young%20woman%20wearing%20glasses%201.jpg[URL]

Personality: Calm, Caring, Kind

History: Loves Sam, but Sam doesn't notice her in his greed for power. She is Sam's personal assistant (kind of like Iron Man) and would do anything for him. She occasionally flirts with him, but it goes unseen. She feels hurt time and time again, but persists. She eventually starts seeing his wickedness, but is blinded by love. She has known him since he started his business, and though she is at a high rank in his "empire" and trustworthy, he runs a one-man and overlooks her.

I'm going to start this right now but anyone can join whenever they want to!

By the way, Jaden talked to me and she totally messed up on Sam's age (*giggles*, the president has to be at least 35--so that's what age Sam is)


{{Tom}}

I ran my hand through my thick hair and made a mental note to take a shower soon- my hair had enough grease for a banana slug to be jealous. I wonder if I smell bad, too? I looked out the window out into the busy street. A soldier patroled the streets and the civilians ignored him. The President had told them it was for their safety, so it was okay-right?

Oh Sam, what happened to you? The image of us celibrating our escape from high school came, uninvited, into my head. What did the world do to him? I opened the drawer to the desk I was sitting at and picked out a broken Iphone. His last gift to me. I'd thrown it after our big fight. Right now, I wished I could just call him and apologize for being so stupid but that couldn't happen now...now that we were enemies.

"You'll always be my best friend if you need me, Samuel Morris." I said into the air.

"Tom?" I tossed the phone back into the drawer and watched as music spilled to the floor before turning around.

If you want me to, I'll make a DT, just ask. :)

“So we’ll need to choose an approach for this minor problem...”, I ranted about the current rebellions to Samuel and he never seemed to listen. He just waved his hand in an abstracted manner. His mind was always filled with other thoughts and he never seemed to think of anyone but himself. I didn’t mind. Every now and then he would dimly show me his heart, but then get caught in his career the next moment. One day he would see...
“I hate complications.”, Ronald stated. “What kind of drawback is this again?” He turned his piercing blue eyes to face mine. I never knew why Samuel liked Ronald as his business partner, other than that he mentioned how he “gets the job done”.
“Simply a few gathered rebellion groups. We don’t want any interference with our plans. The names of these groups have not been discovered yet, but will be looked into. Also, there seems to be oil in Nevada...” I prattled away on the current events while Samuel stared at his perfect fingernails in utter boredom. Well, I had to do my job and do it well. My speech to the head committee took about an hour and then we began our discussion about the good of our ever-increasing empire.
Since our bill had been passed the business blossomed into a money-making machine. The power of it all seemed to consume some of us, yet strengthened at the same time. It was intoxicating. We were all treated as celebrities and could wish for anything and have it soon granted. Everyone came to work everyday to be fed that power and greed for more. Some people in that room would happily kill for it.

"umm.. what are you up to? What you up to tonight?" asked the young girl who usually hangged with the same person as him. She was in his house because she and a few of his other friends had stared over.

"Umm.. i dunno, what about you?"Said Tom

"I'm unsure, what other people are doing"
