Meridian, Washington is near of Forks, Washington where it faces the Pacific Ocean. Facing the south of Forks, about 4 hours away to be exact. The beaches are cold during the winter but the brave solders that are known, as the local surfers will throw themselves towards it. It is not that far of a drive (maybe 10 hours, 14- depending) of Seattle, Washington but it’s closer to Tacoma.
It’s an upcoming town, known for it’s fresh fishing; it’s granola like way of living. Although there is a Starbucks, a Wal-mart is kind of hard to find. Most people find it the perfect place to raise kids.
But don’t think it’s exactly ‘small town’. Meridian is known for it’s posh record shops (locally known Pet Sounds which has been around for years) and the up and coming cleverly known ‘The Record Shop’. Jitterbug the local coffee shop that rivals Starbucks- for if you’re in Washington, there has to be one. It holds a variety of shops, mostly locally owned. The community as a whole stands firm and very apart of Washington. But as any up and coming town it’s had a boom of youngsters, either moving across the country to discover the place or born and rose near or in Meridian.
Some reasons for Washington not having state taxes taken out of checks, for better education system and public health-care. Other can be because it accepts everyone or any background or culture.
It’s one of those places that if you wanted to reinvent yourself or discover who you are, it’s the place to come.

I'm Meghan and I play Claudia Stoker and Nico and John Bradshaw. I'm open for lots of plot with any of them. Claudia is a junior, ex drug addict (though only a few people know that), she's fairly nice but tends to hold most people at a distance. Nico is a sophomore, very quiet unless you know her, and likes her rock 'n roll. John is my college character, he's 22 and trying desperatly to finish up an english and teaching degree and while looking out for his sisters and watching his dad's record shop while he's sick.
I'm reachable though pm and by Aim - target0target msn - target0target@hotmail.com
I am Amy, otherwise known as Bez. I am administrator/moderator of the board. My job allows me the freedom to bring my lap top, so I'm always puttering around.
I play Sunshine Robertson , Georgia "george" Askeland, her mother Renata Askeland (mhs teacher), Lily West, Rachel Jericho, Luke Walker and Jeff Halloway. Everyone knows, if you didn't by now that I'm usually open to any plots, or twists, or whichever someone comes up with to add me of the drama.
I'm mostly on:
MSN: vertigochylde@hotmail.com or Skype: amy.stewart.is.awesome
I'm Gina. I started out roleplaying in the MHS'verse when I was uhh...*thinks* 12? Yes. Twelve. So, now that I'm twenty-one, that'd mean I have been on and off doing this particular brand of RP almost 10 years.
Holy-crap.
Anyhow, it's safe to say I've *definitely* improved since then (iwasprettydamnawful) and now I play: Arden Heisler Zoe Hammond and soon to be Lacey Colburn.
I can be reached VIA MSN piano_fiend@hotmail.com
or AIM (if you give me your name first) at - one neon day.
I'm always looking to plot, and a love a good twist - high school soap opera for the fun (and often funny).
I'm Marshal. I've been RPing for just about a year now*officially one year in June* and have greatly improved my writing in that time. I raided Ari's photobucket, and that's how I came to know about the then dead MI7 and Meridian. Then a few weeks later, they were back! and I had to join them. I play Carter Lyons, and Eri Simpson over here.
Hey, Kyle here. Been a friend of Ari and Marshal for almost a year now. Known Gary since just before the new year too... Joined the boards and am enjoying them, (Folklore and Meridian).
Hello! I'm Betsy. I'm horribly busy since I am a teacher (and a first year one at that). Right now, I play Celeste, but I'm hoping to revive more characters. I play on Folklore and MI7 as well. I enjoy music, long walks, and the occasional bottle of chardonnay in one sitting.
I am totally up to plotting and planning and general deviousness. Be friends with my characters!
Skype me - Betsyboo84 MSN me - angelgirl_snoopy@hotmail.com
I'm Jade i've been rping since the original MHS..One of the old school kids I guess. I could still use improvement but hey i'm getting there but boy did i suck at first as well.
I play Gwen Baptiste, Paige Whitlock, and Natalia Valentine.

i'm nikki, and i've been in and out of this fine rp group for nearly 8 years (i think? it's been a long time, i know that, lol). i'm super busy during the months of august-may b/c i'm a teacher; i'm also a new momma to a beautiful baby girl named molly. she's 6 weeks old today.
i don't play anyone yet b/c i'm still trying to read all the rules and such for this new incarnation (which i'm loving so far), and i'm also still trying to finish up grading stuff (even though i'm on maternity leave for the rest of the school year), as well as trying to figure out my daughter and get her into some sort of routine (not to mention getting her to sleep somewhere other than my arms).
so, all that said, i hope to be fixing up some characters soon but probably won't be able to get seriously involved until later this month.

I know I do all these things late. I am Ari and I be dragging people from other places into Meridian like no one’s business. I am usually around and about but if you’re going to wonder if I am paying much attention, think about I tend to space out.
I am here for your entire Meridian needs.

I'm Steven. Those of you from Chathouse should be able to remember my handle as Steven #2. Been doing online RP since the fall of 2000. But back then I was almost exclusively in the Castle of Chathouse. With my brain being wiped from trying to save peoples' houses all day (I'm a mortgage collector for one of the big dogs) and my Saturdays almost always taken, my posts will mainly be on Sundays, but I will try to post when I can during the week. I'll just be playing the a$$hole Wade Grace for now.
almost always on MSN omegaredtimmer@hotmail.com
AIM is Omega Red Timmer
Oh...and I think that Dawn is the one to blame for me actually starting a character in Triple Play years ago. I think she's the one...not sure though.

Ari and Kyle got me. I cannot deny the animal magnetism of a Puerto Rican and a Canadian combined. Been here for about a week, close to 2 now, and loving it. Awesome set up, awesome writers. I'm dead impressed, needless to say. Writing has never been so flowed, so easy for a long time.

I'm Chris. I play Jack Tristan. I, uh... I don't really know for how long I've been roleplaying, I have a really horrible memory, but the seeds of what would become my roleplaying addiction were sown when I was like, 13 or so. I'm 18 now, so I guess five years, technically. I've only been active, though, since, like, I was 17, and that was at NMA and shit like that. Anyway. I guess, you know, that's it. Pretty straight-laced cat.
