Occupation
Florist at Hummingbird Creations

Personality
Chris is an enigma. His is smart, athletic, and very attractive, a perfect 10 to some. As a teenager he was quite the ladies man in school, and every girl basically had a crush on him. He took advantage of this and was quite the playboy, and oddly became even more well liked for this. He is honest, and charming. Chris is confident and completely at ease with who he is. He likes to go with the flow in social settings, but is a very good leader when it comes to work and sports. Overall he is a genuine guy, but easily annoyed by stupidity and ignorance. He is a good big brother and tries to set an example for Blake. Most describe him as Cool, Calm, and sexy.

Short Bio
Chris is the oldest of two children. He has a younger brother named Blake who he loves dearly. His life has been one of privilege and wealth. As a kid he was quite the cocky smart ass, but he became more mature as he reached his teenage years. His main focus as a teen was getting into his father alma mater, Princeton University. School always came easy to him, as did all forms of athletics. He was rather popular among the jocks, and rich kids of Millington, as he was in both those cliques. He basically single handedly got his soccer team to the state championships, and won. He was voted best overall player in Oregon, and was scouted by quite a few colleges. Chris ended up being valedictorian of his graduating class, and took the full ride to Dartmouth for soccer. He decided to go to Dartmouth rather then Princeton like his father wished cause he wanted to make his own path rather then follow his fathers.

Soccer became his life, it had always been a passion but when he started college he felt like he was on his way to being a professional player. his studies took a dive, and he ended up with straight C's in his college classes freshman year, as he was putting everything into soccer. His sophomore year ended in tragedy, and he has now come home to Millington to start his Junior year as a transfer student at Millington University. He works at the flower shop in town called Hummingbird Creations that his old Aunt Cynthia owns. He was majoring in Chemistry, but has change to liberal arts to his parents dismay. He is openly Bisexual, and has been since he was fifteen.

Catherine

Name
Catherine Labelle

Birthday
04/01/1990

Age
25
Appearance


Height: 5'11"

Weight: 145 lb

Known for her soft eyes warm smile, her students know all too well how that gaze can sharped and grin turn wicked. Still, she's known as someone who would look downright elegant if she ever bothered to put on that appearance. Instead she carries the air of someone wholly unprofessional, unrestrained and unashamed.

Position
Unattached to Millington aside from her students.

Secret
Oh, right, about that...

School
Masters of Education in History, contemplating going back for another degree in the future.

Occupation
Grade 9 Social Studies teacher.

Personality
Catherine isn't exactly an easy person to gain the trust of, but that doesn't stop her from being a genuinely friendly and social person. She wears her passions like a dress, and a little thing like humility won't stop her from breaking out into dance in the middle of the street, and heaven forbid you get her started on a lecture in history. She is both loved and feared by her students, lessons are fun and games compared to long lectures full of notes and speeches. It's quick reminder though that she's well read in torture methods across the ages if her students act up too much.

Short Bio
Born nearby in an even smaller town than Millington, Catherine has had a mostly uneventful life. She was always a voracious learner, excelled in school, married her childhood sweetheart, took out loans, and went to college at Millington University, deadset on becoming a teacher. Much like the rest of her life, the decision was a smooth and easy one for her. She had always loved the idea of being able to spread her knowledge around, and the nearby Millington University was both cheap, and well known for producing educators in Oregon.

However, it was at this point that her smooth and easy life began to break apart. She needed to work in order to stay in school, and the stress of that in turn ate at her grades. The relationship with her husband crumbled rapidly after a couple years, and she very nearly dropped out of school altogether. Stress evolved into depression, and long scars up her arms indicate a very real brush with death. Before she could make another attempt on her life something... changed. Slowly her grades recovered, and the woman seemed to find her smile once more. By the time she finally earned her degree, it seemed all traces of that period were gone for her, save for a few scars and a much more guarded view on trust.

Two years ago she started working at Millington High School, where she had also spent her time as a student teacher. Her... eccentricity when it came to the job had certainly ruffled a few feathers since her arrival, but overall it looked like she was there to stay. When she graduated from University she bought a house... right next to the Reese family. A decision that has filled her with mild regret ever since, as such she tend to spend her free time wandering around town rather than at home. It seemed she was always broke, so she did much more window shopping than anything else, chatting up the locals to pass the time. As such, she's become quite a well known face around town.

Wesley Harmon

Name
Wesley Harmon

Birthday
March 2nd

Age
26

Appearance

6’5”
198
His hair is dyed purple. His natural color is dark brown/black.

Position
“The Prince of Millington”

School
He has a Masters in Accounting.

Occupation
Underboss of the Harmon Crime Syndicate

Personality
A total asshole. He struts the streets like he owns the place, and he seems to be very misogynistic with his constant catcalls and unwanted touching. Wesley uses his power and influence as an Underboss to get what he wants. He definitely fits the definition of a thug and challenges those that oppose him, especially those rogue officers that attempt to stray from under his father’s thumb. There is a certain air of tact and cunning to him, making him an incredibly dangerous enemy to make. However, he does have a soft spot and will assist those truly in need, if he finds them worth his time anyway.

Short Bio
Wesley was born the first son of Dino Harmon, Boss of the notorious Harmon Crime Syndicate, in Zagreb, Croatia. He’s spent his life lavished in luxury and has traveled all over the world while learning what it takes to make a living as a professional criminal. However, the Harmons have based themselves out of Millington, a place they can do business and feel secure in doing it. Wesley, in particular, loves the town and has made personal donations to make the town more prosperous.

It’s hard not to spot the eldest Harmon, considering he and his posse have dyed their hairs colors out of the norm. Most people dislike his goonish personality, but respect the contributions he has made to the town. He can be seen most days in the clubs or buying expensive goods at the mall.

Blake Mitchell

BLAKE MITCHELL

Birthday
April/Fifteenth/Nineteen Eighty Seven
(Present year in RP: 2016)

Twenty-Eight

Appearance


-5'11"

-127 lbs

-A tattoo on her left shoulder, rarely seen as it's covered by a bandage.

-Wears a pair of black rimmed glasses, they always seem to just be on the rim of her nose and doing her little good for actual vision enhancement.

-Eyes are as muddy as the Mississippi...but still somehow bright and vibrant.

-Really enjoys wearing pants suits unless it's summer in which case she'll go casual even when on the clock.

Position
The Neighbor around the corner, whose house is always skipped on Halloween. A ranch house, a far cry from the other homes aimed for more familial living.

Secret
Yes, those are things that exist.

School
School, at this point, is a distant memory. And not necessarily a fond one.

Occupation

Though the office space is far from ideal, Blake is technically an investigator, operating a small, as in her and a secretary/assistant that rarely shows up, office in the heart of the town. The office in question is a small building sitting near the Palace Nine property. People in need of proof of an affair or proof their child is breaking curfew or not make up the majority of her cases, leading to a reputation as 'Millington's Paparazzi'. Though her name is on the sign, more often than not she's out of office and taking full advantage of the proximity to the mall and the Outerworld.

Personality

Blake doesn't have a good reputation with the community as is, because most people don't like glorified snoops right up until they need them, and she doesn't exactly donate to town festivals (though she'll always be on the lookout for injured sorts at those kinds of gatherings). But Blake is a personable sort, charismatic in a word, always one to finish someone's sentence out of a belief that she knows what they're thinking before they think it. Some find her to be offputting because of this, and her inflated ego over her largely situational career surely doesn't do much to help matters. Blake believes herself to be on a first name basis with the entire town...and will always be the one to get everyone's name wrong at a social gathering even upon repeat meetings.

While those little...quirks of hers contribute to the general feeling of annoyance that follows her around, no one can deny that when she does get hired for a job that she does get results. That combined with her willingness to divert truly dangerous jobs to the police along with her readiness to give the police her own records (with the names changed, of course) should they ask, is what has allowed her to stay in operation.

Blake doesn't exactly do...good for the community...but she's nice to have around for a rainy day.

Short Bio

Blake is an east coast woman at heart, despite being born in the dead center of the country and moving westward at a young age due to circumstances far beyond her control. She isn't a lifer in Millington, having arrived near around five years ago and becoming a 'fixture', such as it is, a year after that. She hasn't exactly been forthcoming with her life story, other than what's already a matter of public knowledge, such as her being born to a jazz singer in a night club and the humble bar tender that fell in love with the voice and didn't realize the person attached to said voice was not what anyone would call an overly caring sort. And her transcripts show that she did attend public schooling through to high school and her degree in criminal justice hangs in her office. The degree is ACTUALLY in photography but no one ever looks closely at it and the diploma is there just to add legitimacy anyway.

Blake was married for a hot minute, or in more understandable terms for just long enough for her daughter, Felicia, to be born and her realizing she wanted to have nothing to do with the one night stand that went on for far too long. The marriage was spur of the moment anyway, done in a ceremony-less service and ended with just as much fanfare; that was seven years ago. The hardest part, Blake discovered, was getting her degree with a child to care for, but the right room mates and associates at her university took some of the burden off.

When Blake arrived in Millington it was with daughter at her side and into the lowest priced house on the market while still technically being part of the more savory side of town.

Felicia:

Her daughter attends the grade school and is known among her peers as 'the girl that draws on desks'. Some might call that vandalism. Blake considers it artistic expression. Either way it winds up with Blake having to attend far more parent teacher conferences than she cares for.

Ashley Annabelle Andrews

Name: Ashley Annabelle Andrews
Age: 23
Birthday: January 23, 1993
Appearance:
5'7"
115 lbs
Scar on Right Shoulder
Occupation: Seeking Employment
Education: Bachelors degree ITT Tech Computer Science, emphasis on Coding and Computer Forensics.
Position: Outskirts
Secret: It's something for me to know and you to never find out.
Personality: Ashley is a normally quiet girl, but if you ask her about her computer she opens right up and is all smiles. She will talk to you like you just became her best friend and she'll tell you everything you need to know about them. She is intelligent but she tries to be modest. She is not without her quirks though, and is very distrustful of people, even friends, especially when it comes to her computer's software , so much so that there are security measures in place to protect "Frank." So many that it borders paranoia.

Bio: Ashley moved to Millington last year, and before that she grew up and worked back East. An incident back East is the reason she moved out to the town of Millington. She claimed to want to get away from the memories, and to get a new start. As a small side job to have some income, she works on computers, fixing and upgrading laptops, though her best work, a full computer which she calls "Frankenstein's Monster", is the result of a mad genius and is her most prized possession. It's capabilities, in terms of conventional use, is nothing short of overkill. She doesn't say much about what it is for, but she says it works miracles and is perhaps the world's smallest supercomputer, though many consider it to be just a hoax or an exaggeration.

The house she lives in, in the Outskirts, is a great size... For four people, but she lives in the house alone at the moment. It had solar panels installed when she moved in, but what makes it strange are the miniature wind turbines that she had installed to further reduce the strain on the energy bill. It was modified by request with a contractor making a safe room in the basement.

Frankenstein's Monster (Frank): This monstrosity of a computer is probably the most powerful computer on the planet in civilian hands, or at the very least, one of them. This custom Desktop computer has 36 Terabytes of memory, 352 Gigabytes of RAM, 6 x GeForce GTX Titan X 12GB Video cards and has ten Intel Core i7-6700K processors and is liquid cooled to keep it from overheating when active, and all that, with the exception of the cooling system, is completely enclosed within a customised casing. But what's even more frightening than the hardware to run it, is the safety measures built into it to protect the software. First it is behind a steel door with a deadbolt lock. It is in an interior room in the basement lined with inch thick steel on all sides and two air vents one letting stale air out and the other letting fresh air in. In order to even turn the machine on, it requires two keys, one kept in a lockbox in the room, the other on Ashley's person at all times, even in the shower. In order to log in it takes a fingerprint scan, a retinal scan and a password and even at that point the files are not only password protected, but also encoded in such a way that it appears that the devil himself overhauled Enigma.

Zoey Reese

Name
Zoey Renee Reese

Birthday
October/28/2000

Age 15

Appearance

5’1
108 lbs

Position
Second Youngest of the Reese Family

School
Millington High School - Freshman

Occupation
No job

Personality

Isolated and alone is where Zoey feels the most secure and comfortable. Whenever in public, she tends to give off vibes of being burdened or annoyed but she simply doesn’t care about most things. Anything practical or socially accepted ideas go over her head and she is constantly out of touch with trends and conventions. Zoey simply finds those things to be irrelevant and worthless. The entire school system and her do not get along very well. She frequently skips class and when she does decide to come, she’s not even really there.

Very few things attract her attention but one of the few she does care for is her violin. Most of her time and energy is spent on practicing and she’s come to be quite talented. She hopes to learn guitar as well. Zoey tends to be self-absorbed within her own world and rarely pays attention to others. She’s extremely forgetful about things she doesn’t care much about. It’s easy to become frustrated with Zoey but she’s chill in the fact that she simply doesn’t care what other think of her. The idea of hating someone also sounds rather impractical to her. Zoey tends to stay neutral in everything she participates in.

Short Bio

Born as the second youngest into the Reese family, life was simple for Zoey. While she was very troublesome for her parents, they still accepted her odd personality and cared for her. She’s never been interested in typical things teenagers are supposed to be in. Instead, she prefers to be alone and do her own thing. Most of Zoey’s siblings can be quite frustrated with her or ignore her altogether. While it might not seem like it, Zoey does care for her family, she just isn’t the best at showing it. She tends to fade away in the background and most people hardly notice her presence when she walks into a room.

School has not been Zoey’s best experience. Frequently skipping, she has gained a bad reputation for being a delinquent and many people stay away from her. While she doesn’t care much for other’s opinion, she would have liked at least one friend. The only person within the school she enjoys being around is the music teacher. Zoey doesn’t participate in orchestra and she simply plays violin for her own enjoyment bu whenever she needs advice on things, she will go to her.

Most of Zoey’s time is spent within her room, where she will often play violin or just think. Long walks alone in the park at midnight are also things she enjoys and can be found doing. Zoey has trouble telling people where she’s headed whenever she leaves and often causes worry within her family.

Sadie Hill

Name
Sadie Hill

Birthday
May 23rd

Age
13

Appearance

5'3"
113 lbs.

Position
Past best friend of Olivia.

Secret
Secrets? Oh, I don't have any. Heehee.

School
8th Grade

Occupation
None

Personality
Sweet, innocent, and caring. Sadie is a natural caretaker. It is just who she is. Whenever she sees anyone hurting or in need she can't help but try to take care of them no matter who they are or what they've done. Although she does at times neglect to take care of herself and if anyone mentions it she will get upset. She makes friends easy, but she won't abandon her closest friends. Recently though it seems as if she is just depressed. She always shrugs it off and acts like nothing is wrong, but if things build up for to long she will breakdown and start crying even if what pushed her over the edge is something extremely small.

Short Bio
Sadie and her family lived in the other house beside the Reese home when Sadie was growing up. Because of how close in age Olivia and Sadie were their parents would set up play dates between them and the two became friends really early on. During Kindergarten they were inseparable. First grade had started the same way until something happened.

You see Sadie wasn't born a Hill. She was adopted into the family at the age of six. She was orphaned when her family was killed during a kidnapping gone wrong. Her father and mother tried to stop two men who were attempting to kidnap Sadie and her younger brother. They were killed by the two men and Sadie and her brother had received serious injuries, but before the kidnappers could get away the cops showed up. The men were arrested and the two children were rushed to the hospital. Unfortunately Sadie's brother died during treatment and when Sadie was stable weeks later they moved her to the children's wing. The long process of figuring out what to do with her began. She had no close or distant living relatives and they were most likely going to put her in the foster program. However, there was a teen who had happened to be volunteering at the hospital at the time and Sadie quickly became attached to him. The kid knew they were going to probably make her a foster child but he couldn't let it happened. So after days of constant begging his parents decided to undergo the adoption process. She doesn't remember much before the incident, but loves her new family all the same.

Of the few things she remembers before the incident is the Reese family especially Olivia. Occasionally they would send letters back and forth about what was happening in their lives. Sadie and her new family would even come to visit some. She had two new older brothers, Alex and Oliver, and a younger brother, Micky. Her new parents were Nathan and Taylor. Her life was getting better until something happened a few months ago around November. She stopped sending letters and didn't contact Olivia or the other Reeses at all. Can't let you know though because secrets, yeah. But for some reason they recently moved into Millington.

New neighbor to Nana and Jude.

Miriam Pryde

MIRIAM PRYDE

---

---

Name

Miriam Mireille Pryde

Birthday

August 11th, 1997

Age

18

Appearance

Miriam is a girl who has a quiet, but warm charming look to her appearance with dark black hair and gray-blue eyes. To put it simply, Miriam holds subtle if melancholy expressions as a standard which has gotten many people to presume that she is depressed, antisocial, or odd. When it comes to her preferences in appearance she is much like her physique— modest, unassuming, and simple. She finds little sense in overzealous fashion and due to her lower income-based childhood she finds little reason to change now. You will find her clinging to the same shirts, jackets, hats, pants, and skirts she stuck to in high school.

Position

Neighbor // The Pryde Residence

Secret

---

School

Millington High School [Graduated]

Occupation

Record Store Clerk

Personality

Miriam has “girl next door” written all over her from her head to her feet. A quiet yet kind girl, her siblings believe her to be impossible to make spiteful or angry. Though despite her amusingly long fuse it is clear that she does have emotions and feelings as much can be heard by her output through her music. Though as much as she is kind, tolerant, and supportive— Miriam is introverted, fearful, and sad beyond her facade of surface appearances; but she doesn’t view that she wants to burden anyone with the knowledge she isn’t completely happy on the inside as it would do more harm than it is good. Additionally, Miriam has a sort of quirky sense of humor that while it rarely comes out due to her lack of a “real” social life does exist— of which can be occasionally heard in her lyrics.

As aforementioned, Miriam’s has a passion for music and this goes beyond her own songwriting but also on sounds she surrounds herself to cope with her inner feelings— sometimes going into a solitary safe zone in her closet with a pair of headphones and a blanket. Perhaps it is a point that due to her lack of a huge group of friends, no romantic relationships, and a lack of social aspirations that she connects with music in the way that she does. Her siblings say she is talented in “playing, singing, and knowing”. Whilst she is far from a music critic or historian, she has poured over books and articles to give her a comprehensive understand of her preferred styles and groups of artists who inspire her as well as comfort her. If there was no music, Miriam would not know what to do.

Due to her father’s sense of overbearing safety, Miriam has been taught with how to defend herself with fist or handgun— a fact that may seem odd given her demeanor and appearance. Her small frame might strike a bit harder than whoever attacks her may presume. Though despite this “training” Miriam is not privy to handguns, she doesn’t like holding them and she certainly doesn’t care for shooting them; the same extends to brawling. But if the fight is forced out of her, perhaps she may find herself thinking differently.

Short Bio

Miriam was born in Millington eighteen years ago, the third of a bundle of six. But much like many families in Millington, the Pryde Family had a legacy although small.

As far as anyone can tell, Miriam’s childhood was mundane and quiet. She grew up surrounded by music and books and was never a considerably active child as she preferred her thoughts and space far more than engaging with other children. There were exceptions of course that forced her to break out of her “shell” but generally she’s always been the quiet girl next door who was bookish and shy. Some of her family and friends have attempted to get her to be more active in her passions but for the most part she has kindly rebuffed the chance to do so— this passion being of course songwriting, composition, and analysis of music. Whilst she has lacked the drive to perform in public or show others her body of work there is an inkling inside her that wants to but she has reservations that are far stronger than such desires.

The fading enterprise of her family’s business always in the background, Miriam tried to focus optimistically on the present as her childhood passed her by— the contents of it as mundane as any other. Following High School she ended up a full-time employee at the family business. As she sells records during her regular shift she tries to move through life one day at a time.

Pryde Records

Established in 1972 by her grandfather, Theodore Pryde Sr., Pryde Records started as an enterprise to produce records in the Millington area to be the voice of a booming west coast brand of country-tinged folk, soul, and blues artists that became prominent in the area. Much like Muscle Shoals in Alabama— there was a sound and a recipe for art blooming in this small town. However, that legacy would not last forever— a fact that became obvious long before Miriam’s birth when the “peak” of the Millington Sound and Pryde Records ended around 1985. But while Pryde Records became less relevant it did not go bankrupt nor did the Pryde family end up with nothing. A fact that would be fortunate by the time Miriam was born and her grandfather was on his last legs.

The Pryde Family

Theodore “Ted” Pryde, Jr: The patriarch of the family, and Miriam’s father— runs the family business, a music studio and record store called Pryde Records; a small independent outfit. The business hasn’t been run very well following the murder of Ted’s brother, Jim, fifteen years ago. The business is currently profitable but not to so much that the Pryde family lives in luxury.

Rebecca Pryde (ne. Jamieson): Miriam’s mother— works at the studio/store as a manager.

Jeremiah Pryde: Miriam’s eldest brother, works with his parents at Pryde Records.

Jeffery “Jeff” Pryde: Miriam’s second oldest brother and a waiter at “Giovanni’s Italian Restaurant”, went to college for the culinary arts and is trying to move up the ladder.

Jessica Pryde: Miriam’s younger sister, a junior in High School.

Alexander Pryde: Miriam’s younger brother, a freshman in High School.

Edward “Eddie” Pryde: Miriam’s youngest brother, is in the seventh grade.

The Jamieson Family

Alfred Jamieson: Miriam’s grandfather on her mother’s side— a stodgy old man who refuses to retire from his post as a High School teacher. Teaches Literature to the 10th Grade students.

Michael Jamieson: Miriam’s uncle, works as an acting agent in Hollywood.

Evelyn Jamieson: Miriam’s aunt who is a dentist.
