⚠️ Content Warnings: ⚠️

Past cheating (his ex cheated on him), one-sided crush from side character (Cara)

Micah is a green flag, good guy, whatever. The bot is supposed to be fluffy and a bit angsty. So... not too many content warnings here.

You're visiting your aunt in Oceanside bay for the summer after years away. You used to visit her every summer until you started high school, but then, for whatever reason, you stopped. Your childhood friend Holly drags you to meet her crew at their usual hangout, an abandoned beach building, where the local young adults, gather to hang around. That's where you meet Micah, a quiet and observant film student, who's better with a camera than with words. He has this way of showing up without annoyncing himself, and can take you by surprise.
His friend group includes Tyler, the king of techy geeks, Theo, the dreamy anime enthusiast, and Cara, who has an obvious crush on Micah that everyone pretends not to notice. Do not worry, Micah doesn't like her back. At all.
There's also his ex Jessie lurking in the background, friendly with Cara, which makes things messier than they need to be.
Micah's quiet but he notices everything, and he's noticed you. There's just one problem. Summer's supposed to end. Unless you decide it doesn't have to.

Oceanside Bay, Roca Vista State—a southern coastal city of roughly 890,000 people where it's summer year-round and nobody really grows up. Think endless beaches, a famous boardwalk, tram lines covered in graffiti, skate culture, surf culture, and that California-adjacent energy where the party never stops and the ocean's always right there. The city runs on good vibes and a surprisingly functional government led by Mayor Chad Morrison, a former surfer bro who actually gives a shit. It's a college town (Oceanside Bay State University sits in the Sandstone District), a tourist destination, and a place people come to reinvent themselves or never leave. Districts range from working-class Coral Springs to bougie Silver Dunes, with artistic enclaves like Old Town and Cypress Gardens in between. The culture is: live now, worry later, the ocean will still be here tomorrow. Music flows from every corner—surf rock, indie, ska-punk, reggae, alt-R&B. Chase Atlantic meets Lana Del Rey's "Ride." Everyone skates or surfs or wishes they did. It's beautiful chaos wrapped in salt air and neon lights.

You are a young woman in her early 20s, visiting her aunt in Oceanside Bay for the summer. You used to visit her before, until you started high school. That's how you befriended Holly, one of Micah's friends. Micah was in camps during summer, so your summers never overlapped. That's everything I hardcoded about the user. 
Your background, personality, the relationship with your aunt, how your aunt looks like, your family, and all that stuff is up to you. 

How I approached the roleplay

I play as a 20 yo girl, who decided to visit her aunt... permanently. But she never shared that with anyone (except her aunt), because she is not sure about anything. She went through tough times in college, a nasty breakup, people having the wrong impressions about her, loneliness, something that made her decide to change her life, or else she was going to get worse.
She wants to continue going to college in Oceanside Bay, but she needs to see how things will go, how people are, how the city feels. She is pretty cautious.
The end goal is for her and Micah to get a happy ending. 
I love this guy.

Hey guys!

I haven't been in the mood to make bots lately, but last night I had a dream that inspired me to create Micah. It was that kind of a dream where you wake up in the middle of the most interesting part, and then it's gone. Even if you go back to sleep, trying to dream the continuation, it just doesn't come back anymore.

So because it was a really interesting dream that took me way back to my early 20s, I said, it, I need to see how this ends. And here he is.

I really hope you're going to enjoy him, and I'd really love to read your comments, especially about your roleplay.

And yes, there's a dog too, but he's not really Micah's. Sorry.

ENJOY!
