Personality: Her cynical, snarky exterior hides a girl who really does want to leave a mark on the world through some combination of music and activism. She tries to keep a cool head, but is actually incredibly quick to anger and slow to cool down, particularly if someone hurts her emotionally. She's gotten herself in deep trouble more times than she cares to remember, but also developed some skills to get herself out of it.
Appearance: Slim and darkly pretty, dyed black hair and piercing blue eyes. Literally all her clothes are black, and she has piercings in pretty much every area imaginable.
Occupation: Singer/guitarist for "Social Transgression," a permanently touring punk-metal band.
Biography: Katya fell in with "the wrong crowd" at birth. Raised by Russian immigrants in the poorest neighborhood in her city, Katya learned at an early age that the world is a harsh place. Years of bullying and, later, trouble with the law only reinforced that image. Rather than spend her life working hard for no reward, she dropped out of high school, found some people who felt the same way about the state of the world, and formed a band so they could tell people about the way of the world at approximately 200 decibels.
Skills: - Guitar: Mainly speed metal, but she can play some surprisingly emotional pieces inspired by her own feelings.. - Vocals: Most of her songs involve more shouting than singing, but she can sing. - Electronics: Her band doesn't have the money for sound guys, lighting, or roadies, so Katya handles the brunt of the tech work herself. - Brawling: Yes, she weighs less than 120 pounds. Yes, she can still plant a steel-toed boot where it hurts. - Breath Control: When your best song involves an expletive being screamed for 20 seconds straight, breathing exercises are not optional. - Verbal Manipulation: Katya has a way of making other people just as emotional as she is, whether riling someone up or swaying their opinion. - Lip Reading: It's about the only way she can communicate after a show.
Personality - Sophia is a quiet girl who only speaks out where she feels necessary. Due to having a limited amount of social interaction outside of her family, she's very timid around strangers. At times she's mistakened to have a haughty and arrogant attitude because of her family's status, however she quietly overlooks those judgements and allows for rumors to be spread. In other words, she holds little concern for how she appears to others.
Appearance - Pale skin from a lack of sunlight and a petite build. Sophie has a frail body from living a sheltered life away from any harm. Her immune system is slightly weaker so she catches colds often.
Occupation - Home-schooled student
Biography - Sophia is a basic, sheltered rich-girl. Her doting parents have never allowed a stranger to inch less than 5 feet of her let alone speak to her. Her father owns a flourishing law firm and her mother conducts an orchestra. Because of their status as a prosperous family, Sophie was always held to high standards - which included academics. Although she was nothing close to being named a prodigy, she still maintained above-average grades in her home-schooled class.
Influence from her mother pushed Sophie to learn how to play an instrument. Eventually one led to another and as time passed, she learned to play as many as 9 different instruments. So even if her academics didn't push through, Sophie would still be able to carry her family's weight through her alternate talent.
Skills - Remarkable memory, concentration (more focus, less panic in situations), and heightened listening. Also an increased aerobic capacity from playing multiple wind and brass instruments.
She stands at 5"5, with a slim, yet slightly wiry frame. She was close to just skin and bones, but her unique bone structure allowed for decent curves, giving her a little substance to work with.
Alex had lived an uneventful life so far, with only a decent childhood to be thankful for. After being born into a middle-class family as the first and last child, she never experienced having to wait or earn anything by herself. Everything was given to her without a second thought, even when she did terrible at school and treated both her friends and family like shit. The girl was ungrateful, bratty and utterly spiteful. As the years flew by without much to recount, she'd finally stepped into the world of adulthood- unprepared and oblivious to the rapid changes around her. She'd graduated a community college with a degree in art and advertising. They were easy to achieve, but then again, that really spoke for her entire life.
Being brought up the way she was, Alex expected her parents to wait on her still, eager to serve at her beck and call. To her surprise, the very same people who allowed the toxicity in Alex to flourish had realized their mistake the moment she started demanding more from them. A rather long time ago, if you will. They knew something was wrong, but they never had the heart to decide for their baby girl otherwise, even though that was their job. They messed up, and they knew it. So that's why when she arrived home during the wee hours of the night, she found the house she shared with her parents empty, with the exception of a tiny slip of paper and a couple of her suitcases.
'We terminated this place's contract. Leave by morning.' Help yourself.
Signed, your loving cash cowsmom and dad
Behind the note was an address to a dingy rented apartment, one that her parents paid for her beforehand. The idea was solid: let Alex have her fun, and once the time was right, have her settle her life by herself in a stinky old shoe-box, with nothing but the bare necessities and a couple twenty-dollar bills. Although, she never knew when they'd ever come back. Alex half-expected for the whole thing to be a prank, or a wake-up call. Hell, even an intervention could've worked. Needless to say, Alex had a hard time readjusting herself to life's cruel ways- and by that, I mean getting a job and sustaining it. It wasn't long before she realized how highly dependent she was, but she was also hard-headed. As if two-and-two didn't go together well enough. Although she knew it, she didn't accept it.
Lex managed to scrape up a few hundreds by applying for a job she came across on craigslist. It was rather foolproof, despite the blinding amount of hate she got for doing it. At some point, the countless insults and criticism got to her, as it was something she was never fully accustomed to. Usually, she was on the other end of the stick. The hate finally drove her to the point of mild depression.
The young woman now spends her days wasting away on the couch, lazily browsing through TV channels on her shoddy DLP television. At this point, she'd tried almost every form of escapism there is- from writing, to playing around with hookahs and LSD stamps. One-night stands were not uncommon for the woman, either. Especially on those late, late nights when the haters retired to bed. Those were the rare times they left Alex alone to do whatever she wanted. There were no bounds for Lex, even though her actual world usually had her confined within the safety of her flat. The drugs took her to a world further than her own - to a reality where she maybe hadn't taken a turn for the worst. Or been a giant bitch.
Due to her upbringing, Alex has this 'get-what-I-want-when-I-want' attitude, and she makes this clearly obvious by demanding for something after asking for it nicely. The girl tends to spout venom every now and then, at anyone and everyone who gets in her way. In order to get what she wants, she does anything she deems necessary; such as pretend to be a friend or offer help, which she quickly retracts once the situation calls for it. Lex is manipulative, pragmatic and has a quick temper to match. Although she is far from kind, she does have the ability to hold people close to her non-existent heart - although it is rather rare, considering even her parents haven't ever crossed that threshold with her. Ever.
>Alex can read and write pretty damn fast. >She can articulate a clump of ideas in her head, allowing her fast reaction times.

He traded the little knick knacks and deformed dolls for the occasional dollar and whatever snacks the others had set aside for later. Inspired by his success, the boy seeked out the knowledge he'd need to make more things. It was always satisfying to finish something, and trading it for something you wanted, even more so. He sought out books and whatever time he could ge ton a computer researching how electricity worked, how to work with wood, etc.
After turning 18, the young man resolved to go to college. He paid for it through government grants and a job fixing electrical appliances.

Names: Sierra Barkley. Online, known as @Girls.Love.
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Personality: Sierra is a creature of isolation, a girl who doesn't place too much value on her social interactions, or in her connection to the real world as a whole. She has always distrusted men, and cannot truly find herself comfortable in their presence, although she is able to at least function as a human being around them. When it comes to social interactions, especially with men, she is extremely short-tempered.
She has a great weakness for cute girls, who are usually the only people who can crack her out of her anti-social shell, even if only temporarily. Her need for closeness, as well as an intense, sexual thirst motivate her interactions with members of the same sex. This can, at times, make her seem a little bit perverted (probably because she is), but she can usually manage to keep these impulses within tolerable levels.
She is prone to carrying grudges for long periods of time, and slights easily, although she might not show it.
As a whole, she may seem quite calm on the outside, but she is very vulnerable to the strength of her emotions and her general disconnection with reality. She places much less value on the rules of the real world than most do, and this can make her seem almost malicious to those who don't understand her twisted mentality. She often zones out or daydreams, sinking into her world of delusions whenever things get too troublesome.
She really likes mystery-themed stories, but she honestly was never really that into the genre as a whole.
Occupation: NEET
Biography:
Much of Sierra's early childhood consisted of day-to-day tedium, and nightly pain, blood and suffering beyond what her young mind could handle. The only defense she could manage against it all was to pull inwards, and surround herself in imagination to protect her from reality. Even after the pain stopped, and the person who had caused her all of it had left, some part of her never did leave her shell. It stayed behind, in a world where the only company was delusions, and wishes.
This is what the word "Memories" meant to her.
Her salvation came from the screen. First, it was a television screen, but later on, once she got older, it came from the Computer screen. That was where she spent most of her life, and going into her teenage and adult years, it pretty much WAS her life. School was always a sideshow with her, a place where she would attend, just to fill the time between the nights spent playing games and the afternoons spent chatting with her friends.
Her father left home for good. Sierra dropped out of school, and entered a lifestyle wherein she engaged in virtually no real-life social interaction. There were times when her mother, the meek creature that she was, tried to get her to go back to school or leave the house to hang out with her friends. Online imageboards and forums became her home.
It never really worked, so eventually, she gave up trying.
At some point, she discovered a certain brand of foreign culture. This opened up a whole new world for her, as well as making her more aware of her sexuality, as she discovered a wide range of concepts that she had never even considered when consuming her culture's media. At around this time, she began to have an online relationship with a girl she had been friends with since sixth grade.
Her mother started to bring men into the house. When this began to become the norm, Sierra was slowly being driven back into a state of torment, as she found she was unable to sit peacefully while there were males in the house, so close to her only sanctuary.
At about this point, she met a certain guy on the internet, and had been speaking to him for a while. Their relationship was not truly friendly, but the guy was desperate for his affection, and she found it pleased her to torture him emotionally.
One of the men who was dating her mother made an approach on her. This drove Sierra over the edge.
She does some research, and finds the workplace of a guy that she used to go to school with. She approaches him, and the two of them go on a date.
He is drugged, and killed.
Sierra is content.
From this point on, whenever Sierra was starting to feel like she was going to break, she did this again. She was smart enough not to be caught, at least in the few times she actually went through with it, although is is possible that she may have eventually been found out in the long-term.
This is the end state of the life of a girl who hated men, and shunned reality.
