<center>One winter day, the senior class of Gallagher High School has decided to take a trip to Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, to experience just what it was like back in 1777, when George Washington and his troops made camp there. A group of six teenagers strays away from the group and suddenly finds themselves lost in the blizzard. Through a snowy patch they march, until they come to a clearing in the pine trees. Upon crossing, they find themselves right in the middle of George Washington’s Camp - thrown back into 1777. Now they must find their way back to the present day, while trying to survive the Revolutionary War and experience history up close and personal…

Naked and starving as they are
We cannot enough admire
The incomparable Patience and Fidelity
of the Soldiery

–George Washington</center>


<center>They must survive the Winter at Valley Forge, or risk being trapped in the 18th century forever...</center>

That's fine, and welcome Revenge!

I don't see this RP as being extremely identical to actual history. :no: But I will help guide you guys though it, since it's an area a few hours away from where I live. [[Wikipedia works too if you need extra information ;-)]]

phew, here's my charrie's bio for ya, Ara! :-D

Name: Clinton Chase Phillips

Nickname: ever since he was born people called him Chase. (which he doesn’t mind at all)

Pictures: http://s3.tinypic.com/2mfm14y.jpg

http://s3.tinypic.com/2sb3egx.jpg

http://s3.tinypic.com/25k5ume.jpg

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Date of Birth: May 19th

Hair: dark brown roots with tinted blonde ends

Eyes: green

Apparel: Chase normally wears his black jeans, printed long sleeve T-shirts or normal looking short sleeve shirts, black hoodies/jackets, sneakers

Personality: Chase loves the ocean, which he and his family lived by for several years before moving to Pennsylvania. He used to be an open, fun kid who led a pretty laid-back life, however now he only confides his closest feelings to his little sister. He’s become quiet and sad to everyone else since his father died. He is proud of his father and brother serving and fighting for their countries. Even if it cost his father's life and sometimes he finds himself asking "why?" "why did it have to be his dad?". He feels the pain of the loss acutely since he was the closest of the three sons to his father. Chase has also sunk into his quiet habit because of their move. In his old school he had lots of friends and was popular and now, no matter how long he’s been attending Gallagher he doesn’t fit in as well even though he’s a very bright student.

Background/History: Clinton Chase was named after his father, so since birth they called him by his middle name to avoid confusion. Chase grew up wherever his family was stationed by the military. He is the third son in the family, followed only by a younger sister. His father and brother both serve(d) in the US military proudly. The Phillips family are proud and loyal Americans. However, a few days after Chase turned 17 they got the news that his father had been killed overseas while serving. The family have been forced to carry on even in their grief and with Chase’s brother remaining overseas. Several years before that, however, when they moved to Pennsylvania Chase was just beginning high school so ever since then he has been attending Gallagher High School.

Other Notes: nope

Personality: Lynn has an opinion of her own and very decisive and at times stubborn. She's an explorer and wants to see the world, live a wild life. Her happy personality allows her to make friends quickly [though not with her foster parents]
Background/History: Lynn lives in with foster parents ever since her parents died when she was 8. She was a difficult girl who always wanted to do things her way and didn't listen. That's why she switched from foster parents alot especially in her teen years. Because she spends more time outside than in school her foster parents used to restrict her from all the things Lynn loved and made her even more desperate to get out. At the moment Lynn lives with her current foster parents for a year and attends Gallagher Highschool whenever she feels like it.
Other Notes: None
