Name: Ryland Morris Age: 19 Appearance: [img]http://gracelefay.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/zooey-deschanel-thesocialnewspaper-55.jpg[/img] This rests inside/under her nose, unfortunately: [img]http://cache4.asset-cache.net/xt/78783248.jpg?v=1&g=fs1%7C0%7CFUS%7C83%7C248&s=1[/img] Nickname: Ry Scars: Self harm scars line her left wrist, and the bend of her elbow is heavily scarred from blood tests and IV's. Tattoos: none Outfit: She's wearing a white and pink sundress with frills peeking out of the bottom. Her feet are adorned in Dr. Marten combat boots (white) and she's wearing a 'too large' hoodie to cover her sensitive skin from the air conditioning and sun (if she ventures outside). Because of her condition, she's also carrying a small bag, which doubles as a purse and an oxygen transporter. Problem/Addiction: Cancer (in remission - former stage three brain, which spread to her lungs and kidneys). Biography: Ryland came to this town after her family was forced to leave their 'riches' behind and move closer to the cancer treatment center she was a patient at. The doctors worked hard to cure whatever it was that was eating away at her brain, but it had quickly spread to her lungs and kidneys, and for a while, they feared that it had spread to her bones. After a good bill of health, Ryland fell into remission, her lungs scarred and one kidney missing. She holds scars of someone much older and wiser than herself, and holds great pride in her life, now that the darker days are over. Her hair has grown back to a normal length, and although she's forced to wear an ugly ass mask on her face, she finally feels beautiful and healthy, like a normal girl. However, her doctor referred her to Miller Valley Counseling, to connect with others, in hopes that she can help them appreciate their life a little better, if nothing else. ------- Name: Adam Baker Age: 17 Appearance: [img]http://static.tumblr.com/a6885008783c1fb042761b609103f647/omlsiab/rTAmg4vz3/tumblr_static_600full-logan-lerman.jpg[/img] Nickname: Sugar (by the guys at his school that are of his status) Scars: Only ones that can't really be seen anymore from his childhood. Tattoos: none Outfit: Most of the time he's in a simple black t-shirt, a pair of worn but expensive jeans, converse sneakers, and sometimes a blue slouch beanie. He wears a leather jacket over his tshirt during the colder months, or when the counselors decide to turn the air down to 'freeze your balls off'. Problem/Addiction: Clinical Depression (according to the doctors) Biography: Adam's one of the rich kids. His family is the wealthiest family in Miller Valley, and always have been, since it's founders day. Because of this, he has certain expectations all around, that he's supposed to live up to. He's supposed to be regarded, and pristine. He's supposed to hold his head high, and shame those that are beneath him. However, when he started high school, he began to sympathize with those he was supposed to be shaming, so hard. He began to see the good in some of them, outside of the fact that they had nothing, and according to the town, were nothing. After a while of hanging out with the 'low life' crowd at his school, his mother and father had him checked out by a doctor, who, possibly under the tension of his parents, diagnosed him with clinical depression. He's here at the center on orders from the doctor, and on advisement of his school counsellor, who agreed with his parents on every aspect of his life; and agreed he was throwing it away on people who would never matter...
