Alright, so I thought I would put this up now that you all have had a little taste of Shawn Rhodes. Seems like things are going good so far, but it can't be all fun and games, right? I've introduced Shawn in Let's Boot and Rally and Girls on the dance Floor, but for those of you who don't really know him just yet, just look up his profile. There's a lot of information about him you may not know, but those of you who have already, here's a little more.
Shawn's been racing all his life since he was six or seven, starting with Go carts and has worked his way up. His father is a pro Nascar driver and has taught Shawn everything he knew. A lot of other things were picked up along the way in the underworld of street racing. Shawn's main focus is going fast and barely bothering to brake even for a second. Some women would even say that about him in bed, some others only wishing to get the chance. Shawn's picky about his woman, but still needs a dating life somewhere. What is he looking for you ask? He wants a girl who can keep up with him, someone who has all the right stuff under the hood, and one who doesn't need to stop to ask for directions. He likes them with a little bit of attitude and they have to know their cars. One of his biggest turn offs, is when a chick asks him, "What kind of car is that?" And she can't be afraid to get her hands a little dirty. If you think your chick could be the next contestant, then step right up.
As well as a love life, Shawn needs friends. There's nothing like having the right connections and the right kind of people, especially since Shawn can be a little risky, dangerous, and just plain out Crazy! Like the old saying goes, the few , the proud, the insane. Whoohah! Shawn's a likable kind of guy but can get a little arrogant and cocky at times, but he can back up whatever comes out. Whether it be a side job or a race or a fight, Shawn's your guy. He's loyal, trustworthy, and can race his ass off. If your stuck in a jam, Shawn' will be the first one there to get your back. The only thing he asks for in return is the same. He's got the skills, he's got the car, and he certainly has the will to do whatever it takes to win. So if you're looking to race, or just to go out and grab a brew, look him up. I'd be willing to bet his name will be out on the street in no time at all.
Shawn may be a well liked guy, but who ever likes to lose? Who likes to just hand over their money without spitting at the mouth? Whose ride did Shawn wreck in the process of winning and now demands retribution? even being well liked among some or even most, there is always someone who wants a piece of the action or a piece of his ass. Enemies are common in this aspect of the world and you can't ever walk out of your house thinking someone isn't watching you to see who you are and what your all about. Someone is bound to hunt you down and try to take back what you took from them. So if your one of those people, then come get it! Shawn ain't no push over and he ain't one to step down. He'll rumble with you no matter how big, how strong, how dangerous or even how many you might have brought with you. I guarantee, he won't be the only one going to the hospital when it's all said and done.
Now that we have lovers, friends and enemies out of the way, now comes the biggest surprise of them all. Secrets!
What? You didn't think I was actually going to tell you what his secret is, did you? You're going to have to find that out on your own. But let me tell you, If I play him right, it's going to be one hell of a doozy when it finally comes out. Only his family knows what it is....ok, maybe his good friend Jack too. And no, not Jack O'Conner, so don't go pestering him. But i promise, when the time is right, I'm sure it will blow your mind away.
So, if anyone wants to RP with Shawn, just reply here or PM me. I'm looking to get into some major plots and some minor ones. Maybe get him in with the Torreto crew and make some mad cash. He's definitely looking to reach the top and he doesn't plan on stopping anytime soon. So hit me up if anyone is interested.

Heya Shawn. This all sounds interesting. I have Piper and Letty who could fall into the "friend" department I suppose. Piper is Tessa's best friend and is involved with Jack. Well, Jack O'Conner, that is. Not Shawn's Jack, as we've established. Currently though, shes on the run with Jack and Tessa because she happened to find herself in possession of a USB drive that the mafia guys in L.A. want back really bad. I'm sure we could work your dude in if you are interested at all. Otherwise, the three amigos will be in the tropics for awhile and not really where they can interact much with anyone.

Ok, I'm a little confused since Piper was in the Lets Boot and Rally thread. Also, I don't mind the trouble but I really wasn't ready for him to go hiding right away. kinda wanted him to get used to LA first before he went running. So if Piper is gonna be off in the tropics, I don't see that working out too well.
Letty on the other hand.....
If you wanted to go that route, that would be good since I want Shawn to get involved with the Toretto gang. Just not sure what Letty would like about Shawn except the fact that he is fucking crazy and a good driver. But if we could come up with something for an introduction, it would at least get his foot in the door so to speak.
On the other hand, the vacation in the tropics does sound good, but only if it involves Tessa and Shawn somehow. Do you know if Tessa is involved with anyone? Might give him a reason to go along with it. I'm just saying he wouldn't want to tag along for something long term like that unless some sort of feelings were to develop. Not that Shawn has any of those feelings now, but it would definitely come about if time was spent with the three of them. He'd definitely make a play for her if there was that chemistry.
All in all, its up to you and Tess if we go that route. I'm game for either one.

I am reading your whole profile/history to trying to understand the Shawn character better. I would love to join as well as Piper, the thing with Mia is that she´s the opposite of Dom but she´s a Toretto. Even though her father was in the racing world same as Dom (she´s not a big fan of racing and btw I suck at writing race scenes!)I am curious about your character wanting to get involved with the Toretto gang.
Mia is so sweet but that Toretto temper can come out if she´s provoked, I don´t know how Shawn can bump into Mia same as Piper, now that Piper is starting to get involved with Jack, as far as Mia, she just got back with Brian. Bottom line, I would love to get involved in this Shawn/Piper plot too! That is if it´s okay with you two.
BUT if you go straight to Bora Bora then I wouldn´t fit into the story that you (Shawn) will be creating with Tessa and Piper....

Shawn, Tessa would be happy to take Shawn to the tropics... Tessa will be on the run, but maybe he just comes with for some reason. I'm sure we can work something out. Tessa is not attached.
And she isn't looking forward to being a third wheel. >,>

Sounds good to me. Just have to figure out why he gets dragged along. Maybe Tess needs him for something. As loyal as he is to friends, he'd do just about anything. If he were to go, Tess would be the one to get him to go. And I'm ok with Mia getting involved but its up to Piper and Jack since it's their plot.
I just can't see Shawn going unless Tess gives him a reason.

Just a quick 2 cents from me regarding the tropical vacation:
Tessa and Shawn (or anybody else for that matter), you're always free to start a thread(s) that takes place before the USB plot if it helps creating/fleshing out relationships between characters.
As for who's going to Bora Bora, personally I'd say the more the merrier so it won't limit interaction between people. I'm sure we can find ways to include anyone who wants a character of theirs to come along.

I'm sure we can figure out something for Shawn and Tessa. I'm just brain dead right now as I didn't really sleep. I'm about to try and see if I can sleep here now as soon as I finish lunch. But... like we can figure out some reason why Tessa needs Shawn's help or asks him to come or somehow he just ends up coming. I dunno. And then later, when Shawn's ready to get into trouble of his own and needs to go on the lamb, Tessa can help him out or something. LOL. For that. I dunno why exactly but I see a cross country high speed chase going on. Think, Cannonball Run or Gumball Rally. I know those are some super old movies but, Gumball Rally is hilarious. If you've never seen it you should check it out.

I think Jack is right. I think doing a past thread for the two of them might be a good idea. Maybe the Mafia gets wind where they are and since they're looking for Piper, they come after Tess who just so happens to be in the same place at the right time as Shawn. Things get a little rough and shaky, and Shawn helps her out of the jam and helps her escape. (Does Tess want a new car? I have an idea, but it involves her car blowing up) Anyway, the two escape the scene and from there on out she trusts Shawn and has to convince Jack and Piper, he's good. But throughout the entire Bora Bora trip, Jack and Piper are constantly keeping an eye on Shawn just to make sure he's the real deal. I can't see Jack and Piper just letting him in on a whim just because he looks trustworthy. I know Shawn's gonna have to prove himself and I have no problem with that.
Also, does that mean I'll have to store the Challenger for a while and drive something else while in Bora Bora?
Either way, that scene would get Shawn involved and since he's helping Jack,Piper, and Tess, now he's become an accomplice and number four on the hit list. Maybe after that scene, Jack and Piper could jump in so introductions could be made. Maybe Tess tells Shawn where they can go for safety and Jack and Piper are already there. They'd be surprised to see the new face behind Tess, I'm sure. I think it would create for lots of drama and suspense. But that's just me.

I'm ok with whatever. Having others along would make Tessa feel like less of a third wheel anyways and there's all sorts of possibilities to play off of. I generally don't plan things out to far and just let it roll however since things have a way of taking a life of their own. Plus, with others involved or whatever, we can break it up into threads and everyone can write at their own pace or whatever too.

Yeah, we could do another preceding thread with Shawn and Tessa. I never got Tessa back into the Boot and Rally thread. I hadn't intended to not put her back in... I'm so lost with that now. I could try to put her back in. Say she took off when the cops came, has everyone's money. LOL . I dunno. But, anyway.... Then like you said he can show up with her. I had thought Tessa's family could set up a safe house for her. She has some outlaw elements in her family. So, we can do some kind of prior thread with them. Then we could do a thread afterward where Piper and Jack are already set up in the safe house. Hmmmm... How could she run into Shawn or call him from the point where they are now in the Bad Luck thread. They have to get the money from the accounts. But... maybe they don't want to do that yet or until they are somewhere safe. I dunno... just trying to spark something here. She could have to go out to meet her uncle or brother or something. Or to go get what money she does have or can get her hands on to get them started and on their way. Then she either just runs into Shawn or she could call him to let him know she's in trouble or something and she has to leave town for awhile. As far as the car blowing up. I don't have a problem with that. That would be dramaz. Tessa won't be happy but... at least she'll have money for a new one. If you wanna start a preceding thread for them, feel free. Whatever ideas you have will be fine.

I'm the same way Piper. I like to plot so far and then roll with the punches. That's why this will be my last post for this plot. I don't want to give away to much cause then it just feels so redundant to post it.
Here's the plan I had:
Tess leaves wherever and is tailed by some Mob goons. Of course she doesn't know it, stops to get some coffee or something to eat. While she's in there, the goons wire her car. Shawn enters the scene, then the goons. Maybe they try and take her or tell her that she needs to come with them. Shawn notices the look on her face and steps in. Things go wild from there and Shawn and Tess have to make an escape. We can go from there and see what happens. I kinda have the whole scene in my head, its just the start of how they meet up that needs to be worked out.
Anyways, if thats good so far, then I can start it, no probs.

Wait....that's it! Maybe they never met up that night of Boot and Rally to give Shawn his money back. She knows she's in trouble and texts shawn to meet him somewhere for his money but before she can explain why she's in such a hurry, the goons that tailed her come walking in and we can pick up from there.....
(Ok, so I lied, it wasn't my last post to this. Sue me! LOL)
I think that's what we should go with. I think that would make things make sense a little better.

Yeah, I think that's a good idea. They never got back together to give him his money back. Excellent. If you wanna start it off, that would be awesome.

Shawn has traits that Dom values in a person - loyalty, trustworthy, and a racer (; Of course, they'd need to thread but I don't have any hesitation from Dom's end about potentially making Shawn part of the crew. He needs guys he can trust and who are loyal - they get the same thing from him. Maybe a race to let Dom see what sort of driver Shawn is?

I'm game for anything. Which crew is she trying to become part of? If its the Toretto crew, she's searching in the right place. Shawn could help her get in, but its a crew vote, so just a suggestion, she might want to RP with all or most of the crew to gain favor.Just Shawn isn't enough. Other than that, I'm game for anything.
