Title: All Bets Off
Disclaimer: We own nothing to do with Roswell, its characters or its storylines. We just want to have some fun borrowing the characters for a while.

Summary: Liz Parker is a happy-go-lucky rich girl who always gets what she wants. She’s beautiful, smart, flirty, has a great sense of humor, and isn’t afraid to go after what she wants. She also is blessed with a good heart and a handful of great friends, not to mention a good relationship with her father, a widower who is usually busy on business. There is only one major fault that can be found in her, she loves games. Normally this isn’t a fault and lord knows that her friends find her ways entertaining, but her playing these games has left her wondering if she is capable of finding true love and recognizing it when it comes along. She is constantly making fun wagers, usually for stakes a lot more fun than money, flirting with all the good looking guys, and playing practical jokes on people, though they are harmless, and she never turns down a dare. Her fun ways leave her friends and the guys she dates doubting her sincerity in matters of the heart.
When Liz is at a classy bar/club with her girlfriends (Maria, Tess, and Isabel), she makes one of her famous wagers that she can make any guy fall in love with her, to the point of wanting to marry her, within a month. She says it because one of her friends brings up that she’ll probably be the last of them to get married because she never takes anything seriously. Her conscious sort of pricks at her that she would make a bet that normally she would consider cruel but her girlfriends insist that guys would not take her seriously as anything other than a fun time and a couple of fun dates. She is so sure that she can win that she allows the girls to look around and pick any man in the club. She’s never met Isabel’s brother, who has been away at college and then medical school ever since she’s known Isabel. Therefore, when Isabel sees her brother in the club, she knows that he will be able to help her win the bet and chooses him as Liz’s prey.
Max Evans is a renowned surgeon (or some kind of doctor, I’ll let the player choose) who has no time for a real relationship. He’s rich and handsome and likes a good time but is usually pretty serious minded. His friends tease him that he is the only man they know that goes to clubs and bars avoiding relationships. Admitting that eventually, when his life calms down, he would like to have a real meaningful girlfriend, he is content for now to keep the serious females at bay and to enjoy the good times he has with the flirts. So when he and his friends (Kyle, Michael and Alex) are at a classy club and he gets approached by a beautiful brunette, he is quick to try to avoid her until Kyle sees who it is that he is talking about and assures Max that she is exactly his type and will never get serious about a relationship. He relaxes at this as he is attracted to the girl and she seems like fun.
The other characters, I’d like to leave who they are and what they do and their personalities up to the people who want to play them. I think it would be cool to have Michael and Maria seem to dislike each other and obviously argue a lot but they end up going out because of a lost bet or something. Just an idea. Also, I’d like to make this RP a little different in that it’s ok to throw in a couple of surprises if it’s something small that won’t make a big difference in the storyline. I’m not sure how to word this correctly. I guess, see the rules for RPG’s and see the example of not moving other characters without checking to make sure it’s in character. I hope you’ll get the idea of what I’m trying to say.

Rules to play:
1. You must send me an audition (a sample post of the character you want to play) by PM or email.
2. You must be willing to post using a couple of paragraphs preferably per post. No one sentence posts please.
3. You will be expected to help us get to know your character when you are signed up to play them, beginning with a bio of them, you don’t have to include a picture but you can if you wish.
4. Please be around to post at least once a week. If something comes up, and RL usually throws something at us often, please don’t hesitate to let us know but if you know you’ll be in school and won’t be on for months at a time, please do not take the character away from someone else who wants to play. I will be lenient on this if you are a regular but if you are signed up to play and we don’t hear anything from you, either letting us know what’s happening or whatever, in a month’s time, your character will be recast.
5. I insist that we all have fun. LOL!
Hopefully, these rules are not too difficult to live with. I feel like they will simply make it more fun to play together.
EDITTED TO ADD:
Ok, madroswellfan sent me this PM:
So for that reason, I'm posting this to help the couples get together.Ive spoken to a few people about your roleplay and generally people like it, but they think they need more to go on regarding the couples storyline. Liz and Max is great, but it might be an idea to have a small part of there storylines explained just to create more interest.
Michael/Maria: It is hate at first sight. The problem is that they are attracted to each other but neither wants to admit it first so they argue and pick at each other. Sometimes it sounds more like flirting, much to their dismay when they realize it. Further to their disgust, they often are paired together or opposite each other in the future at Liz's parties or during games.
Alex/Isabel: Seeming opposites, they are both romantics at heart and are the first of the couples to really admit to each other what they are looking for. They enjoy hanging out with the groups but have fun getting to know each other as well.
Tess/Kyle: Kyle knows of Liz's reputation and even went out with her a couple of times. He's a pretty big flirt too and is the one to seemingly match Liz closest, but they are only friends and he knows it. Unfortunately, Tess isn't so sure and rejects Kyle's advances at every turn, but never really tells him why. His pride and the hurt from Tess' rejections sometimes cause Kyle to do foolish things or to act like he doesn't care.
