Name: Rafael Torop

Year: Senior

Major: Exercise Science

Gender: Male

Hometown: Cedar Hill, Texas

High School: Cedar Hill High School

Position (+ Number): Quarterback (1)

Height / Weight: 6'4 / 215 lbs

Known Bio: Rafa was born to Russian immigrants in Cedar Hill, Texas. Although he had no knowledge of American football, Rafa's parents thought it would be a good way for him to make friends and keep him out of trouble. He began in elementary school as a safety, and thoroughly enjoyed the competition and the rush that accompanied it. He never developed any sort of fandom towards professional football, but appreciated his own ability to play the game.

In his Freshman year at Cedar Hill High, Rafa made Varsity as a linebacker. He was proficient in locking down the offense, and began his Sophomore year as the starting inside linebacker. He was ranked among the top defenders in Texas high school football, and racked 30 tackles and 4 interceptions that season alone.

During his Sophomore year, he was allowed to fool around as quarterback, primarily during games with a large spread by halftime. Over the course of that season, his talent displayed itself and he was switched over to starting quarterback by his Junior year. During that season, he led Cedar Hill to the final round in the national championships. In his Senior year, Cedar Hill went undefeated during the regular season. He managed to keep above a 3.0 GPA throughout high school at the insistence of his parents, not wanting him to rely solely on football to get through life.

Rafa was recruited by Sentinel State as a quarterback, and got stuck on 3rd string during his Freshman season. Through a series of fortunate circumstances (for him), Rafa was able to see some time on the field and prove himself to Coach Carriel. His Sophomore year, he took over as starting quarterback, leading the Sentries to playoffs. In his Junior season, he led Sentinel State to win the NCAA Division I Championship.

Rafa has a 2.7 average GPA, and had hopes of becoming a physical therapist. However, with this being his last year at Sentinel State, Rafa has new hopes of being drafted into the NFL after graduation.

Personality: Rafa has made little mention of his past, seeing it as irrelevant to where he is right now. Rather, he focuses more on making his college life seem fulfilled and exciting in any way he can. It is reflective in his attitude towards his football career: he does not linger on his stats, rather on his feeling and thought during gameplay, and how to move forward in playing the next.

He's an extremely proud and cocky athlete, a party animal, and a womanizer. He's very charismatic, and sort of a bully in the ways he chooses to have fun. Sometimes, he can get violent and physical, but it does not take much for him to see rationality. Although he seems incredibly superficial in the way which he composes himself, he treats his team like a brotherhood and puts in the effort in keeping it all together.

Appearance:

Name: Colin Andrews

Year: Junior

Major (+Minor): Kinesiology (minoring in Film)

Gender: Male

Hometown: San Francisco, California

High School: Lowell High School

Position (+ Number): Wide Receiver (15)

Height / Weight: 6'4"/205lbs

Biography: Colin was born in San Francisco, California to a father who used to play QB for San Jose State University, and was the reserve quarterback for the Oakland Raiders for a little bit, before he was forced to retire due to an injury. Colin's mother was a nurse, but somewhat knowledgeable in football due to her husband. Colin grew up among two older sisters, and a younger brother. He started playing football at the young age of 4, playing a variety of positions.

His freshman and sophomore year on the high school football team, he was the starting quarterback for the JV team, his dynamic scrambling ability and speed being utilized to his advantage when he was faced with pressure. Said ability was able to take the team to the CIF (California Interscholastic Foundation) playoffs, before they were knocked out in the semi-finals both years of his reign as JV quarterback. However, his coaches realized he was better with utilizing his speed and such to score. When he transitioned to the Varsity football team, he was put as a wide receiver, where he found even more success. Him and the quarterback were a great mix, as the duo took the team to the CIF finals two years in a row, winning both years in a dominant fashion, and accumulating approximately 3,156 yards in those two years. Sentinel State recruited him as a wide receiver not too soon after his last high school game, and he was put on as the second string wide receiver his freshman year, being upgraded to starter and winning a championship as a result.

Personality: Colin is a rather reserved person, keeping his aggression and such for the field. His demeanor whenever he isn't playing football is calm, chill, and generally ice cold. He also has a knack for being able to focus relatively well on his academics, allowing him to hold a 3.5 GPA in college.

I'd like to play a role of girlfriend to a player who finds out she is pregnant during the season. I thought that could add a little something something dramatic and life changing for someone. Maybe the player has struggle with not knowing whether or not he will quit the team now; or if he will strive harder to make sure that he gets a good job for his family to be.

:D If anyone who is joining would like to take that plot line with me- just hit me up and we can work it out a little!

I'd be interested :)

Name: Jimmy Bustamante

Year: Freshman

Major/Minor: Business

Gender: Male

Position (+ Number): Cornerback #21

Biography: Jimmy Bustamante or Jay was born in Houston, Texas to an ex-drug dealer who means well and a cancer survivor. Along with a twin brother his mother alone raised him. Normally in the story this is when the the kid would play ball to stay out of trouble, but he didn't even start playing till 7th grade. It was a rough couple years, but after enough hard work he started for Houston High. It was hard to start as a freshman in a 5A school. Everybody was faster, stronger, and taller, that left a young Jimmy spinning in circles. He hated being that little freshman, but however little he was to them he was good. The following summer Jimmy grew 6 inches and that's when he was noticed. It was the last district game and the QB decided a short smash route. The receiver never knew what hit him and he dropped the ball. At that point its just instinct to pick it up and Jay did, he took it back for a 65 yard defensive TD that won. The next day the newspapers were ecstatic about "The Shot Heard Around the World." It took that little bit of media exposure for Jimmy to ignite. The following years were full of hard hits and an almost signature lock down man which led to being avidly pursuit for Sentinel State.

Home Town: Houston

High School: Houston High

Personality: Jimmy is quite carefree outside of the field, he passed with a 2.3, but its all good. Now on the field he's a pissed off 6'6" man angry at any personal mistake.

Height: 6'6"

Weight: 220

Appearance: Jimmy has tanned skin covering an athletic build, dark brown eyes, and black hair that normally is put up. He also has a Houston Star on his shoulder.

Made some minor additions to the character sheet. Added a place for Hometown, High School, Height / Weight, and Major / Minor.

Sorry if it poses any inconvenience, I just thought it would make it all a bit more clear.

Naw, you're allowed to be a cheerleader, or any other student really, so long as you are involved in the football program in some way.

Edit: Sorry! Read that the wrong way, but my statement is still applicable.

I actually made a jersey if anyone want to see.

Name: Scott McKenna.

Year: Freshman.

Major (+Minor): Criminal Justice (+ psychology)

Gender: Male.

Hometown: Spartanburg South Carolina.

High School: Spartanburg High School.

Position (+ Number): Defensive line/ 99

Height / Weight: 6´4"/ 255

Biography:
Scott was raised in the backwoods of South Carolina, where his father was the local sheriff. An avid outdoorsman, Scotts father taught him the skills needed to hunt and survive in the isolated woods around their rural country home. Scott enjoyed being outdoors so much that schoolwork never came easy. It took being threatened with being kicked off the team for him to knuckle down, ending up with a 3.0 GPA. After graduation, Scott jumped at the chance to go to Sentinel State, more for the fact that the school hired a former Bureau Chief for the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit to run the Criminal Justice Department, the full ride Athletic Scholarship to play football was a plus.

It is rare to see a defensive lineman dominate opposing offenses, but Scott has all the tools to do so. He will float from his natural defensive tackle spot, out to defensive end and may even line up on the guard or center from time to time. Scott has the speed to play end, the instinct to read and react at the defensive tackle spot and the brute strength and force required to play on the middle of the defensive front. He also has great open field speed for a big man, as shown by his 40-plus yard fumble return for a touchdown during the last game of his HS Senior year . He racked up a total of163 tackles, 37.5 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, one interception and three forced fumbles and was named to the US Army's All American Team.

Personality:
.When not on the football field, Scott's country upbringing shows in everything he does. He is quiet, and polite, never forgetting his manners. On the field, Scott transforms into an intense, no nonsense, defensive monster, who enjoys nothing more then sacking the opposing teams QB or tackling their runningback, behind the line of scrimmage.

Yeah, haha. Seems appropriate so far, but hopefully our defense and tight ends size it up.

▸ Name: Ivy Villao.
▸ Gender: Female.

▸ Year: Junior.
▸ Major: Fine Arts (+Music).

▸ Hometown: San Francisco, California
▸ High School: Lowell High School

▸ Height: 5ft 1.
▸ Weight: 125lbs.

▸ Personality: Feisty. Stubborn. Outgoing. Happy-Go-Lucky. Sarcastic. Loyal. Goofy. Supportive.

▸ Biography: "When you grow up Ivy, what do you want to be?" The question came across her mother's lips like any curious parent. "A turtle." the young girl replied, her big, bright grey eyes gleaming with joy. "You can't be a turtle Ivy, that is impossible." her mother discouraged, shaking her head. "Nothing is impossible. I'm going to be a turtle" Ivy replied, determined to show her mother what life was really about.

Fast forward 10 years, 5 schools, 8 homes, and 7 stepfathers later, Ivy had not become a turtle, but she did escape her shell. Growing up as a little Midwestern girl Ivy was an easy going kid, her father hadn't been in her life much but he seemed like an okay guy when he was around. Her mother had always been there, working hard, trying to do what seemed like the best for herself, and sometimes Ivy. The constant moving wasn't very helpful for the young girl's growth, but hey- if it pays the bills, it pays the bills.

Ivy found refuge in her artwork, drawing, photography, painting, the works. It was in her art she could be anything, she could create anything.

On the eve of her 14th birthday her mother announced she had fallen in love once again, and that they were to be moving to California, as to be closer to the new man's work (A plastic surgeon). "Great." Ivy spat out, packing up her belongings once again. "Honey, I promise this will be the last time. I promise." her mother assured her, her petite frame, minus the large breast implants barely taking up the door way of Ivy's empty room. "Mmmhmm." she mumbled. It was the last time every time.

Ivy's mother had become employed as the hospital secretary soon after the big move, and through the job came the meeting of Ivy's mother and Colin's mother. It wasn't too long before the women became friends, coming over to one another's houses to have a few cocktails and gossip about how work was going.

Soon, Ivy met Colin.

Meeting Colin was the best thing that could have ever happened to the girl. Colin was her stability in a storm. Her lighthouse in her darkest of days. He balanced her out with his calm and collected state of mind, even if she did know how to perfectly press his buttons. It would take their whole freshman year of high school for him to ask her out. It was most likely because of his focus on academics and his busy schedule with football. At least that is what Ivy likes to think was the case! Years came and went as the two grew together. There were some rough times, but for the most part the two were pretty confident in their relationship lasting for the rest of their lifetime.

Tying a bracelet around his wrist before his big final game their senior year she kissed him gently on the lips, "Good luck my love." she said, watching him as he help brought the team to victory. She couldn't be more proud, though the glaring eyes of scouts for schools across the country made Ivy nervous to the say the least. When the news of Sentinel State recruiting Colin to the team came soon after the victory, Ivy was scared to lose Colin in the transport.

It was then, that for the first time in her life that her mother came through for her. Her mother had been saving up all this time for her one and only daughter to go to any college she wanted, and of course Ivy put her sights with Colin at Sentinel. The two moved to the campus quickly and with no complications have been continuing to grow in both their own paths as well as the one that intertwines them.
