This is the OOC for Temple of Praise (located in the All-Christian Realistic/Historic RPG forum).


In short, it is about musically talented people (hence the name Temple of Praise) bringing their church back to life. There may be non-music-related characters.

To join, PM me.

UPDATE: I'll be using this thread to post links or videos to the songs that will be used in the thread, if I can find them.

my character

Name: Kirsten Montgomery
Gender: female
Age: 17
Personality: Stubborn, rebellious, often doubts her faith, loves youth conferences. She LOVES music, plays the piano, only a tiny bit of Clarinet, and she doesn’t consider herself a good vocalist. She does specials for church, but tries to keep it traditional and not bring it too up beat; otherwise she’s afraid that the congregation might be alarmed. When she’s not in school, it is most likely you will find a book in her hands and headphones on her ears – she’s not the most social when she’s like this, but without them, she’s quite the opposite. (scary. Hahaha) She’s easy to get along with, and usually outwardly content. She’s quietly disapproving when her parents gossip about others. She usually wears figure flattering clothes. She truly appreciates the nature around her, and has often confessed to God because of it.
Background: She’s gone church all her life, and such, never had a personal relationship with Christ, that is until she went to her first youth rally two years ago, when she was 15. Her parents don’t really fight, but she winces whenever her mom raises her voice – even if it’s not directed at her. She’s lived in the same town ever since she could remember, but she was told that they moved when she was a baby. When she was about 10, she started piano lessons, but after two years, because her original teacher moved she took two years off, before resuming them with another teacher.

Wow. You really thought that out. Post whenever you like.

Name: Chad (known as Chab by some)
Age: 16
Gender: Male

History: Having been the youth pastor's son all his life, Chad knows the Bible better than most his age. From a very young age, and all through first grade, he would misspell his name; instead of writing 'Chad,' he would accidentally reverse the letter 'd,' and it became 'Chab.' Since, "Chab" was his nickname. He, his mother, and father moved overseas as missionaries, planning to stay only a month. Chad reached the age of 15 two weeks after they first left America. That same day, as his father was preaching, someone broke into the house that the church met in, and threatened the congregation. The man held a gun to Chad's mother's head, demanding she denounce her faith. When she refused, he shot and killed her. More than half of the church was killed before the man shot and killed himself. Being an only child, Chad was left with only his father, as they returned to the United States one week early, upon the church's insistence. Almost a year later, he and his father moved to Mountain View.

Physical Appearance: Chad is strongly built, having lived in several different countries as a missionary alongside his parents, building houses, carrying tons of food to places that needed it, playing with the native children, and other such things. He has dark gray eyes, and dark brown hair that almost appears black at times. His skin is rather tan due to long hours in the sun, though he is still distinguishably Caucasian.

Personality: Before the death of his mother, Chad was overall an optimistic person. Following her death, however, he fell into a depression in which he would not speak very often at all, or even read his Bible, which he tended to do oftentimes, indicated by his Bible's worn appearance.

We can't have this thread without having Testify to Love (by Avalon) somewhere in it.:) In case you haven't heard the song, I found a video of it, but it's while they're in concert, keep in mind. There's a bit of talking before they actually get to singing.

Black2blu, I'm not going to approve your profile as it is currently. I have some problems with it.

1. The pastor is terribly boring and has no sense of humor as far as anyone knows, unless your character attends a different church.

2. Your character seems too perfect. Could you specify some big flaws? Make her more realistic?

3. If she was loved by everyone she knew, her parents wouldn't look down on her, and she wouldn't have had reason to run away in the first place.

I don't mean to shoot down your ideas, but I'm going for a thread that is as realistic as possible, with completely normal people.

Sorry. For some reason or another, the control panel wouldn't show this thread. That, coupled with the fact that I was gone most of July prevented me from approving your profile, Sapphiraleoht. Since black2blu has lost patience, and left, I suppose there's no point in approving her profile.
