Hello fine gentlemen and woman of Fanfiction, and welcome to my humble story. This is my adaption of the greatest romantic tragedy the world has ever produced, Romeo and Juliet, set in Bullworth. It will begin in the next chapter; this is a prologue to clear the air and to answer likely questions. The story will be adapted into modern speech, but the meaning of the original text will not be changed. Below is a list of the characters and who will take their place in this adaption:
ROMEO - Johnny Vincent. Male Lead. Goes from mourning his loss of Rosaline to falling for Juilet. Heir to the Montague title.
BENVOLIO - Peanut Romano. A leading Montague. Level headed, friend of Romeo and someone who tries to keep the peace.
The Montague Boys - The Greasers. The "Men" of the Montague household. They hate all Capulets and love a fight.
LORD MONTAGUE - Father of Romeo (OC, Johnny Vincent's parents). Head of the Montague family, hates Capulets.
LADY MONTAGUE - Mother of Romeo (OC, Johnny Vincent's parents). More pragmatic than her husband.
JULIET - Pinky. Daughter of Lord Capulet. Female lead. Has just come to a marrying age at the time of the play.
TYBALT - Bif Taylor. A leading Capulet. Unlike Benvolio, he tries to start fights with the Montagues.
Capulet Boys - Preppies. They hate all Montagues and love fighting them.
Rosaline - Lola. Romeo is in love with her but she rejects him, putting him in a state of depression.
LORD CAPULET - OC, Father of Pinky. Head of Capulet family; hates Montagues. Wants to see his daughter married.
LADY CAPULET - OC, Mother of Pinky. Also wishes to see her daughter, Juliet, married.
NURSE - OC, Pinky's maid. The loving nurse of Juliet. More of a mother to Juliet than her real mother ever was.
MERCUTIO - Jimmy Hopkins. Romeo's best friend. A larger than life character who always jokes around. Not a Montague or a Capulet but is friends with the Montagues.
COUNTY PARIS - Derby Harrington. Wants Juliet's hand in marriage.
PRINCE ESCALUS - Dr Crabblesnitch. Keeper of the peace. Passes punishment and provides justice.
FRIAR LAWRENCE - OC, the local church minister. Has a deep knowledge of potions.
For those of you who have read the play, I needn't say anymore. However, for those of you who haven't, there is a brief description of the main characters by the list. There are some parts of the casting which were regrettable; I would have liked Peanut to be Mercutio and Derby to play Tybalt but neither were possible. Besides that, I feel this adaption will work. PLEASE DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT CHARACTERS IN THE GAME BEING OUT OF CHARACTER, AS FOR THIS ADAPTION TO WORK, THEY HAVE TO BE.
Well, I hope to see you for the first chapter. Follows, reviews and favorites are all appreciated. Feel free to ask any question in the reviews or PM me.
Oh, and all characters will be called their names in the game. The list above is purely for reference.
