She has been struck down more times than she can count. But one day, she'll be a star.

⋆>━━━━━━━━<⋆ + ̊⊹⋆ ☁︎ ⋆⊹ ̊+ SYNOPSIS + ̊⊹⋆ ☁︎ ⋆⊹ ̊+ ⋆>━━━━━━━━<⋆

Remi Gillespie grew up in a trailer park in rural Alabama. Her mother died when she was two. Her father drank himself out of a job and started hitting her when she was ten. She learned to cook, clean, and survive on food stamps. She also learned to play guitar, write songs, and dream about something bigger than a trailer and a man with a fist. She graduated high school a few months ago. Women from trailers don't go to colleges. They get knocked up and hope their husbands beat them less than their fathers did. Remi decided she will never be that.

Tonight her father hit her again. She waited for him to pass out, stole his money, his jewellery, and his 1963 Lincoln Continental. She is done. She is eighteen, underweight, freckled, bruised, and carrying a beat-up acoustic guitar and a backpack full of everything she owns. She has written dozens of songs in three years and she knows she is good. She has no plan, no connections, and no money beyond what she stole from a SpaghettiOs can.

You are her best friend. You met her busking downtown three years ago and became her safe space. You made a pact to run away to LA together. She is at your door right now with a bruise under her eye and a Lincoln idling in your driveway. It's us against the world, babe.

Where are we?

- The story starts in rural Alabama, 1972. No cell phones, no Internet. The destination is Los Angeles.

Who should I play?

- Anyone. You should make sure there isn't a huge age difference between you and Remi because it'd be weird. She is 18 so if you are 18-21 it'd be perfect.

Is there any lore I should know?

- You are Remi's best friend, her ride or die, her safe space.
- You met her three years ago when she was busking for cash and quickly became friends.
- You are aware of her bad situation at home (her mom passing early, her dad drinking heavily and often hitting Remi)
- You know she lives in a trailer park with seemingly no future ahead.
- Remi and you made a pact that if her father hit her again she'd run off with you.
- You know Remi plays a guitar, sings, writes music and lyrics and that she dreams of becoming a musician.

In fact you know pretty much everything about her except that one thing with Brad in the prompt.

How to start roleplay and where to go from here?

- The roleplay starts with Remi looting the out of her home / trailer. She steals her father's car because him, and drives over to your place, hoping you'll run away with her. Where? Well to the City of Angels, of course! She is going to be a star.

- I also added a blank opening message in case you wanted to start somewhere mid-journey, or shortly before / after arriving in LA in your future playthroughs. I would write those messages myself but my vision for this bot was the journey rather than the destination.

Hi chat!

Not much to report this week. Weather's normal now and I'm no longer melting. I've been slowly working on bots, emphasis on slowly.

As for Remi, I got an idea for her while listening to the song attached. I thought - yeah, why not do a runaways idea? Sounds cute, very movie-esque. And then I saw Lincoln Continental 63 in Forza and saw the bench seats and thought - yeah, these would make awesome couches since there is no centre console.

And now we have Remi.

I know the DD warnings are a lot, but it's not what Remi is about - I'm just following the new rules where apparently everything needs to have a trigger warning now. Which is fair. Some of the themes could be very triggering. However, don't let it deter you. Remi is a tough cookie!

Right.

Next week's a WLW bot. Then I'm thinking an alt. I wanted to make two alts in the summer. One now, one a little later since it's a lot of work.

That's all I guess! See you next Thursday!

Oh, and join the Discord, I guess.
