What are people scared of? Spiders. Snakes. The dark. Freddie Krueger. Yes, these are all fears; but ideally what do most people fear? The future. Most people fear the future, as it is unexpected. For years everyone tries to perfectly plan out what they will do with their lives. They create a plan of how their life is supposed to go, and try to stay on track. But what happens when mistakes are made and life unexpectedly changes? Goals are reset, plans rethought, and a new beginning is created.
And sometimes that is exactly what people need; a new beginning.
"This is a new year. A new beginning. And things will change." ~Taylor Swift

-You can send in more than one OC, but please do not be offended if they do not get picked!
-And the most important rule of all: Have Fun!
Now, here are all the couples and their backstories! I hope you like them, and want to submit characters!
PS. The form is on my profile. Thanks again :)
Jesse and Rachel St. James Berry: After Finn's tragic death in the army Rachel moved home to Lima to heal her broken heart as the two had finally gotten together again. There she met her old sweetheart, Jesse St. James and he helps her get back on her feet. After two years of silence Rachel Berry returns to New York and announces her engagement to Jesse and introduces their little child. Rachel finishes her schooling while Jesse opens a daycare for Broadway babies where performers can drop of their children and pick them up after shows, before their second child is born. Jesse's daycare is a success and Rachel triumphabtly returns to Broadway. They moved back to Lima to be closer to home as their oldest child started high school (that child is now a senior). Needed: One Child (a senior, reserved). Open for more children (Sophomore or younger)
Kurt and Blaine Hummel-Anderson: Kurt lived with Rachel and Santana in New York and was as devastated by Finn's death as Rachel was. He however, didn't leave New York, but turned to Blaine who had moved to New York after graduating and had gained Kurt's trust again. As their romance rekindled Blaine took Rachel's place in the apartment (Rachel and Jesse got their own apartment when they moved back). Being the silly romantics they are they both got engagements rings and both planned to propose. When Blaine finally built up the courage to actually do it Kurt burst out crying and shaking his head, scaring the crap out of Blaine who thought that maybe it was a bad idea. Then Kurt confessed that he had bought a ring too and was planning on doing the same thing, only about a month later. After a somewhat lenghty engagement the two finally tied the knot. Blaine became a playwright while Kurt tried Broadway, but thought that finding parts would prove to be too much of a challenge and became a costume designer (designing Rachel's dresses in Evita, for example). He and Blaine decided to start a family and had a pair of twins the same way Neil Patrick Harris and David Brutka did (one being Kurt's, the other Blaine's, but sharing a biological mom and birthmother). They move back just over the summer before the story because Burt has another heart attack and Kurt wants to be close to his father. Needed: Two children (junior twins, one is reserved). Open for more children.
Quinn Fabray and Sam Evans: Quinn stayed a beauty even as she grew older and is currently "in between husbands" as Santana calls it. After graduating from Yale she did a few movies, nothing too big, but movies nonetheless. She met Sam in LA (as he was trying to get his comic books printed) and the two got toether again. He got the honor of being husband #1. They had a child together before a somewhat quiet divorce (they simply weren't right for each other). Then she went on to meet husband #2, a movie producer named Harry. Another divorce and in swoops husband #3 and their relationship actually lasted for quite a while. They had a messy divorce and Quinn hasn't had a solid relationship since. While working her way through husbands Quinn did quite a few movies and a somewhat successful TV series. Needed: One child (reserved). Maybe open for younger children (for either of them).
Mercedes Jones: Then there's Mercedes who was in LA recording her album. With her drummer-boyfriend (possibly Matt Rutherford, but up to creator) she had two kids, but the relationship didn't work out. Her record worked out pretty well, though nothing too spectacular came of it. She's still heard on the radio sometimes and makes enough money to call herself a professional musician. She met Sam again two years before the story (he has gotten his comic books released and makes a living by that and owning a small store that sells comic books and CDs in Lima). The two are now engaged and living together, though their kids don't seem to be too happy about it (Sam's son mainly being jealous because it used be just him; and Sam and Mercedes' kids catching his negative vibe). Needed: One - two children. Not open for more children.
Marley and Jake Rose-Puckerman: When Jake and Marley were in high school they seemed to have the perfect relationship. That perfection seemed to be confirmed when Marley got pregnant at the end of her and Jake's junior year and they kept the baby, raising it together. Through huge support from their mothers the two of them managed to get through it with Marley taking an extra year to finish high school and Jake working shifts as a waiter after school. They managed and got married before their child's second birthday (they got engaged the summer before their senior year). They got a little shoebox apartment and eventually a small house and expanded their family. The two of them work at a performance center where he teaches kids to dance and she teaches them to sing while he works part time as a waiter and she at Walmart. Needed: One - three children. Open for their oldest child (late 20's) and younger siblings.
Brittany and Santana Lopez-Pierce: Brittany went to MIT and though she hardly did the work and just about never found her way to class, she still graduated. Though because Brittany is Brittany she hardly knew what to do with her diploma and decided that moving to New York was her best move. As Santana had grown tired of living with the lovey-dovey Klaine she immediately moved in with Brittany when she came to the city. There Brittany worked with the other math geniuses (on some confidential stuff she really didn't know how to explain) and Santana finished her NYADA education. Because all the noise of the city scared Brittany and the tall buildings confused her, the two decided to move away. They moved to Orlando, because Brittany wanted to be close to Disney. They found a small, but good dance company where they became dancers and taught dance to kids (both becoming like Abby Lee Miller from Dance Moms). At some point in all the moving the two got back together again and through teaching the kids they realized that they wanted a family of their own. They also realized that they didn't want a family in Orlando, they wanted it back in Lima, Ohio. So they moved back and through sperm donations they both carried children. Needed: One to four children. Open for younger and older siblings.
Artie and Sugar Abrams: After graduating Artie needed to find a good script for his movies. So he moved to LA, because he felt like he had seen most of what New York had to offer and needed a change of scene to get a better view of the world. There he met Sugar who was busy spending her father's money on whatever she could. When Artie settled for doing a script Puck had written that he thought had potential he was looking for producers and Sugar offered, seeing that she had nothing better to do with her money. Her only condition was that she got to be in it. Artie needed the money and couldn't refuse. The movie was a flop, with terrible (Sugar) to mediocre (the comedic sidekick) performances by the actors and odd locations, but all in all a script with potential and a new and interesting angle from the director. Sugar agreed to produce Artie's next movie, but didn't insist that she got to be in it this time. She had gotten enough bad reviews to finally realize that the people "weren't ready for her talent". However she realized that Artie might be everything she wanted in a man and they had a huge and extravagant wedding. They moved to Lima for a quieter life and tried to have a family. Apparently though, that proved to be harder than they expected. After trying for a couple of years they eventually settled for adoption. After their second adoption Sugar got pregnant. They didn't have more children before adopting a baby a couple of years ago. Needed: Four children (two adopted high school/college students. One biological son, reserved. One adopted toddler)
Kitty Wilde and Ryder Lynn: Kitty was pretty lost after high school. She spent a year at Disney world, working as a face character (she did Belle in the Beauty and the Beast show too). Then she hitchhiked with her Italian boyfriend (who had worked at the Italian pavilion at the Epcot centre) across Europe before ending up single in LA. She worked as a bartender for a while and caught up with Artie again and was invited to his and Sugar's wedding where she hooked up with Ryder. With her luck it wasn't a surprise when she got pregnant. Feeling like this could finally give her life meaning she kept the baby, though she refused to date Ryder (he did get to be a part of the kid(s)'s life though). Kitty became the guidance counselor at Mckinley and though her methods are "different" she does help a lot of kids. Ryder became a firefighter and they both live in Ohio though Ryder lives closer to Westerville. Needed: One child (reserved). Open for more children (preferably with a different father).
Sue Sylvester: Sue had her daughter, Robin, just like in cannon. Like Sure herself Robin grew up to be the cheerio coach. The two lived in Lima all their lives, but Sue never had another child. Needed: One daughter (Robin, mid-late 20's, cheerleading coach). Not open for more children.
Shelby Corcoran: Still like in cannon Shelby adopted Puck and Quinn's daughter, Beth. The two lived in New York, but Beth couldn't find a teaching job in New York so she moved to Lima. Shelby still lives in New York and has taken over Jesse's daycare. Needed: One daughter (Beth, late 20's to early 30's, Glee club director).
