If it ain't got that swing! Lately I've gotten wrapped up in the movie Swing Kids, based on a group of kids in Germany during WWII who were really into the American swing music from Harlem,they dressed in the latest fashions from London including zoot suits and fedoras, swing danced illegally in dance halls to hide it from the Nazi's because Swing Music was banned because it was performed by African American's and Jewish people. They made fun of the Nazi's slogans by shouting "Swing Heil" at each other in the streets, the girls wore flashy dresses and kept their hair long as did the boys leave there hair long......SO.... I want to Rp about it! You can make up a character or use one from the movie if you've seen it, if you want more info on this since I just wrote it from the top of my head, here's the wikipedia page on the movement: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing_Kidshope you join! I'll get my character's info up soon. |

Yes...I do.lol. Christian's like the second man for me besides Johnny.lol, and lately i've been in a really bad Balehead mood,guess cause with Dark Knight coming out Friday over here.SO JOIN PWEEZE? If you love me *pouts,looking all pitiful* lol. And here's my characters info: Character Name: Thomas Berger Nick Names: Age: 17 Gender: Male Occupation : Swing Kid/Hitler Youth Physical Description (pictures don't cut it, EXPLAIN how they look): Hair Color: Dirty Blonde, wavy Eye Color: Brown Weight: 146 Height: 5’7” Picture of character: img.photobucket.com/albums/v84/Bonnielass9/99.jpgimg.photobucket.com/albums/v84/Bonnielass9/normal_PDVD_174.jpgimg.photobucket.com/albums/v84/Bonnielass9/168.jpgPersonality: Thomas is a bit of an asshole,to put it as nicely as you can. He’s not that bad and doesn’t mean to be, it just happens. He can be charming, intelligent in some things, and a very good swing dancer, too bad he gave it up for marching. You never really know what he’s thinking unless he out right tells you, he usually does that too, he’s outspoken and impulsive. History: Thomas comes from a wealthy family in Germany, he’s an only child ,his dad didn’t approve of him being a Swing kid so that when his friend Peter got forced into the Hitler Youth he went with him to keep his friend company and to prove to his dad that he could do something other than dancing. He thought that would appease his father but it didn’t. As he started doing things in the Youth, like running and things, he got deeper into it, he rated his father out for talking bad about Hitler, causing his father to be taken away in the middle of the night. It only got worse, Thomas went on a raid to a Swing club and nearly choked his best friend to death with a club. He stopped in time and told him to get out of there, Peter didn’t and got taken away to a work camp. Thomas still couldn’t forgive himself and now he was stuck in the Hitler Youth, the very thing he hated, he’d become, he soon snapped out of it, finally returning to his theory of "H.J by day,Swing Kid by night" hoping to make up for what he did to Peter. |

Sounds awesome, I have to think of a character first. I am leaning towards a guy since my current obsession is David Tennant.
