Levi Astrauckas.

"Ruckus" and it's variations, such as "Big Ruckus" and "Lev Ruckus". The nickname "Ruckus" was Levi's nickname through high school, being an affectionate bastardization of his last name Astrauckas which came up simply for the sake of having a nickname in his peer group.

Male ♂.

June, 20.

Heterosexual. Public knowledge.

Levi stands at 5 feet and 11 inches with an average and somewhat toned build and light, clear complexion. His hair is a very dark drown which is kept mainatined on the back and sides with a swept top and fringe and accented by a stubble - which serves a double to hide his chin, which he's not happy with the shape of. Both his ear lobes are pierced and stretched to a considerable but not extreme extent and he has a collection of tattoos: including a right arm sleeve, a more minimal left-arm sleeve, and a tattoo across the upper back connecting the two; he plans on adding to his collection in the future, if he can source the money.

The staple-mark of his wardrobe is his glasses: He wears a pair of black, borderline hipster-esque prescription glasses, being significantly short-sighted; the glasses 'complete' his face, and he normally seems a little odd without them. As far as clothing goes, he rotates between themed crew-necks, button-up tops which are normally worn with the sleeves rolled up and the top button open, jeans, slim-fitting tan slacks, brown lace-up quarter brogue cap toe shoes, and black converse canvas shoes.

The shortest way to describe Levi would be "reasonably chilled" - he's all about staying calm and happy, taking it easy, and living day-by-day, but not using it as an excuse to get up to no good; he'll often get up needlessly early if he needs to be somewhere in the morning so that he can get himself ready at a slow and steady pace without having to rush. He prefers to get up and work hard to get any work out the way so it's off his plate and he can relax again. He's fairly patient and, reflecting his "chill" nature, doesn't pay mind to a lot of things - only a few things really gets to him. Even in stressful situations and the heat of the moment he's slow to stress, but when he finally boils over he becomes very highly strung and takes a long time to calm down again, even to the length of days or even weeks after it's all over. His primary interests include music, skating, tattoos, and socializing.

He's something of a social butterfly and prefers to spend his spare time in the company of others, preferably in pursuit of interests such as music, skating, and picturesque activities such as swimming at a pretty local river or camping at the top of a hill with a view. He's pretty socially versatile and is open to making friends with a broad array of personality types and tropes; even then, the few who annoy him he has the patience to tolerate in smaller doses. Ironically enough, for someone who prefers to spend his time in the company of others, he's not too fond of parties; by all means, he enjoys a party every now and them, but they're normally a bit too fast-paced for his chilled nature, and his sense of reason often conspires against participation in a lot of party festivities.

When intimacy is involved, his personality changes to some extent. He's unfamiliar with intimacy and doesn't really have his bearings about him when it's involved; he becomes a lot more impulsive, highly strung, and caring in moments of intimacy, but otherwise tries to stay as chill as possible.

Much as would be expected based off his personality, Levi is arguably a good roommate; he's easygoing and low-profile, often sleeping in, spending a fair amount of his time off outside with friends or just skating, and just going about his own thing; he enjoys spending time with his roommates indoors on the couch or in the spa, but prefers hanging out outdoors - unless it's jamming, in which case he's happy to sit in the garage studio all day. In his pursuit of aesthetics he's a bit of a neat freak, and whilst he has a habit of cleaning up after himself he also has a habit of cleaning up after everybody else, whether they like it or not; a sewing project might end up moving from a lounge chair to the coffee table, or a pair of shoes taken off on the dining room might end up moving to just by the front door. He also has a habit of doing th dishes or laundry on impulse if it's untidy enough, which can be both a blessing and a curse.

Levi considers his own room to be something of a personal retreat for moments of stress, spending time alone or in privacy however rare it may be, and otherwise doing his own thing and as such, his room is often given the care of a shrine and is kept in nigh-immaculate condition. If the door is closed the unwritten message is 'don't come in', whether he's in there or not; coming in when the door is closed without knocking or otherwise calling forward in advance is a fast way to annoy him, whether he hides it or not. It also drives him up the wall when people mess up his room. If someone where to both intrude and mess up his room, even the easy-going Levi would get upset.

Levi always has been fairly active on social media but was chilled as he is in all things, so there's a fair amount of information hidden away. It wouldn't be hard to find out that he was born on the US West Coast near Bainbridge Island, Washington State. He attended local public education through to earlier on in middle school, where he moved to the location of setting and finished his education. There'd be a lot of photos with him and his guitar set from late elementary school through to present day as he continued to develop his passion.

Towards the end of his time in middle school, he put together his first band that ran through until half way through high school, with some gigs here and there around the local community. The band eventually fell apart when a few of the moments got swamped in their school work and efforts to replace them were unsuccessful. Until the formation of a new band he's made himself available as a session musician, for which he has a personal website and YouTube channel showcasing some of his works for potential clients. It's public information on his website that he plays guitar as music is his passion, and for that same reason he pursues membership in another band. His website also shows that he's familiar with a wide array of styles and genres and is fairly versatile in that regard. Levi has pursued no further education at this point and is currently working part time at a grocery store and as a session musician.

• Levi dabbled into smoking whilst he was in high school, although he's seem to have kicked the habit within the past 3 months.
• Whilst Levi is slow to stress, when he does finally boil over he gets quite badly stressed, and takes a long time to come back down - days to weeks, even.

• Guitar. Levi has played guitar since elementary school and stuck to it, only briefly dabbling in piano in early middle school to drop it to focus entirely on guitar; as such, he's a quite talented guitarist.
• Music Theory. Levi has spent most of his life reading tabs, but is capable of understanding traditional sheet music and music theory elements given a bit of paper to work it out on.
• Driving. Levi is a good driver, and often drives a van around to carry all of his gear.
• Supportive. Levi's passive and relaxed nature naturally help him support others in positions of trouble, and on top of that he has a bit of a knack for it.

• Levi owns an American Vintage '58 Telecaster, a Joe Satriani Ibanez JS2400, and an Epiphone EJ-200CE. The first two are electric with a primary white secondary black finish and the latter is a primary black accented white electric-acoustic which was also his first guitar he bought for himself. He also owns a nondescript 20W Vox amplifier and an array of pedals, although he normally uses the venues amps at gigs.
• Levi also owns a white second-hand 1997 Mitsubishi Express, which he uses to cart around his gear. He often carries some gear for other he's hired to work for as a session musician.

Mackenzie Erika James

Kenzie, when people, including her, are too lazy to say the first syllable of her name. This is what she usually goes by. Max, another variation for the lazy, but reserved for best friends. Puppy, because she is one.

Female

December, 19

Hetero… no, wait. Bisexual? Probably. She's still figuring it out.

Those who don't know any better would think Mackenzie a pillar of elegance: slim and shapely, bearing almost regal; steps light and airy, movements deliberate but delicate. She seems to have an eye for fashion as well (really just a side-effect from religiously watching Gossip Girl when she was younger) and despite standing only at an average 5'4, she looks like she could have been a model. But in truth, this supposed elegance is superficial, something she learned during her two-year dip into the pageant scene. That is to say: she's beauty, she's grace, but only until she accidentally walks into a glass door and smashes her face. Then the magic's gone.

Her light chocolate hair is styled differently every day of the week; she can't have a repeat--that's just being lazy. She had chopped it off recently on a whim, and it now only reaches her shoulders. Part of her regrets it, because there's a bit less she can do with her hair now and she misses her crown braids. Her hazel eyes are big and expressive windows to her soul, more often than not crinkled with happiness and laughter. Mackenzie has been planning to get a tattoo for the longest time, but hasn't quite mustered the courage (needles, ugh).

On and off stage, Mackenzie has accurately been compared to a puppy. It's not a difficult connection to make. Enthusiastic is her default state and she takes on the world with a certain joie de vivre that probably exasperates cynics to no end. She likes to laugh and smile and would shamelessly invade personal boundaries so she can playfully pounce on you. Physical affection and Mackenzie go hand in hand, and it's almost like an addiction, really. She can never seem to spend a day without once sidling up next to a friend. If you stare hard enough, you might be able to see when her tail's wagging—which turns out to be quite often. It doesn't take much to get her excited or pumped up, and she has energy to spare. Unflinching loyalty, definitely to a fault, is one of her most puppy-like qualities. She does anything and everything for friends, even more for family, no questions asked. It doesn't matter if you're in the wrong or when the going gets tough; she'll stick by you through thick and thin, and will share the blame or the burden if need be.

At first, it would seem as though Mackenzie is incapable of taking anything seriously. She's all fun and games and even more fun. But those close to her know that she considers her craft sacred. Mackenzie pours her heart and soul into her music, dedicates hours upon hours every day just perfecting her craft.

Interviews become almost like a game of Russian roulette when Mackenzie's involved. On one hand, she's nothing if not genuine, and it's become part of her charm. She's expressive and candid and you could probably get a folderful of varied reaction gifs from spending three hours with her. People seem to respond to her authenticity, think it's refreshing even. But in this line of work, being a very open book has its risks. Mackenzie is unabashedly herself, has no pretenses whatsoever, and there are times, so, so many times, when that backfires.

The general rule is: when there's controversy, keep Mackenzie out.

Mackenzie is the perfect partner-in-crime. She is literally up for anything, as long as it sounds remotely fun. 3am drive to the only open McDonalds to satisfy some craving? She's there. Need a buddy to watch that horror movie with? She's your girl (but she'll be half clinging to you for most of the movie). Going through a shit day and need someone to vent to? There's no better choice than expert cheerer-upper and problem listener Mackenzie. She's hard to frustrate or piss off, and her affable and jocular nature often helps diffuse some of the tension.

More than anything, she likes spending time with her friends. That's the thing about living with a human puppy: she needs attention and affection on a regular basis. Mackenzie is good at reading people and she knows when they need their space, but sometimes she can't help herself. When she's in one of those moods, she'll do her best not to be a bother, but she needs to be within proximity of another human being. At night, when it gets too quiet and lonely and her music doesn't help, she might ask to sleep next to you. Or at least on your floor, just as long as she has company.

Mackenzie's the sort that the more maternal types can't help but coddle. Something about her general carefreeness (actually, it may be her puppy-ness) seems to tug at and activate people's nurturing instincts.

Also, she stress bakes! It's probably safe to anticipate lots of delicious baked goods days before performances.

For someone who's not just an open book, but one written in giant font, bolded and highlighted, her family life is surprisingly kept private. There's a Wikipedia article written about her after she won Miss Teen USA three years ago, and though it goes into detail about her school life and her one year reign, there's little about her family besides the listing of her parents' names. Her half-siblings aren't even mentioned, and she'd much rather keep it that way.

Mackenzie Erika James (born December 9, 1996) is an American singer known for her covers of hit songs by contemporary pop musicians, and a beauty pageant titleholder who held the Miss Teen USA 2012 title. Born and raised in Leavenworth, Washington, James is the daughter of Jenna Byron and Anthony Eric James. After winning the state pageant in 2011, she moved onto represent Washington in the national Miss Teen USA 2012 pageant held in the Bahamas, and was ultimately crowned the winner.

Her stint as pageant titleholder has given Mackenzie some public exposure in the form of television guest and public speaking appearances. Before this, she used to collaborate with YouTubers and sing covers, earning her a bit of internet fame. And before that, she used to join and mostly win local singing competitions. An old video floating online called '6-year-old wows judges with her powerful voice' is as far back as Google knows about her. Mackenzie would be really surprised if anyone knows any tidbit about her that's older than that.

Although Mackenzie is active on social media, rarely can people get relevant information about her through it. Her twitter is 50% puntastic jokes, 50% excited fangirling about celebrities and movies and television shows. Her Instagram: 1% selfies and 99% cute animals she passes by. Her Facebook had the most personal information, but she hasn't updated in two years now.

♪ During downtimes, she gets sporadic urges to binge watch shows and movies she's already watched.

♪ She easily loses track of time when's caught up in a video game; it would be the next day, when her stomach's grumbling and her eyes sting, that she realizes how much time has passed. Then she quickly amends her all-nighter by sleeping through the rest of the day.

♪ Touch, companionship. It's almost like she craves touch and physical affection. Mackenzie immediately feels upset if she goes without for more than ten hours, and the one thing she can't stand is being alone.

♪ Idealizing possible romantic partners. She wants to see the best in everyone, even if it might not be there. Mackenzie can be easily taken advantage of, and though she's experienced it before and should know better, she still desperately clings to the hope that people are inherently good. She'll give anyone who shows interest a chance, because she thinks everyone at least deserves that.

Vocal prowess: Mackenzie has been told that she goes by raw talent more than anything. She has the power, the range, the emotions, the innate feel for tone. But she's untrained, and it shows in her lack of proper technique. She still has a long way to go in learning to control her gift.

Drums: It's the only instrument she can play well, surprisingly. She can try playing the piano and guitar, but she'll sound super rough. They just don't come as naturally to her as the drums had when she first tried it. She's only been playing for two years, but she can hold her own with it.

Dancing: Mackenzie's been dancing for as long as she's been singing, but she's not quite as passionate about the former. It's more for fun. She's good at picking up choreography, though, and has a great sense of rhythm.

Charm: A lot of it has to do with her genuineness. She's approachable and affable, and her infectious personality goes a long way.

♪ Needles and clowns scare the living hell out of her, and she doesn't even know why. She has a recurring nightmare where she's captured by a Dr. Bobo—half doctor, half clown armed with a giant syringe and size twenty blood red shoes—who keeps her locked in some dingy basement.

♪ Every end of the month, she likes to marathon sad movies for cathartic purposes. Mackenzie sees it this way: you get all the tears and sadness out of the way, and start the next month baggage-free.

♪ Hopeless romantic, hapless romantic. Loves love, but love seems to hate her.

Jackson William Miller

Friends have a habit of calling him 'Jax', a name he usually begrudgingly responds to. Those close to him, including his significant others, usually give him a more affectionate 'Jackie' - Unless you're pretty close with him, calling Jackson this is a pretty sure-fire way to upset him.

Male ♂.

November, 21.

Heterosexual. Public knowledge.

Jackson is a little over 6 feet and 2 inches, with a fairly average build. He exercises regularly enough to have somewhat of a muscular build, but he's certainly no body builder, if anything, he'd only be a little above average in terms of muscle mass. His skin is partially tanned, hinting to his European heritage. He keeps a thin beard, neatly trimmed and groomed to be just a little more than stubble, apart from his hair, it exists as the major focus of his style choices. His hair is generally kept short, but long enough to be styled every which-way. His jawline is reasonably sharp, and apart from a few, very small and light moles on his face, he has no real marks on his face.

The entirety of Jackson's arms up to the wrists are covered in long sleeve tattoos, which connect to a large tattoo on his back, running down to the middle of his spine. The tattoos themselves have little connection or meaning, ranging from images of Dragons and Skeletons to notable video game characters. Jackson's wardrobe varies significantly depending on whether he's working or relaxing. At work, he generally wears a pair of cargo pants, generally tucked over his large black combat boots, and somewhat of a tight black t-shirt, along with two hoodies when it's cold, one from the University of Sydney, Australia, and another he wears more frequently styled from the game Starcraft.

To sum up Jackson's general personality, one would probably use the term 'Joker' - he's sarcastic, witty and generally finds a way to laugh off any situation. Unfortunately, his timing isn't the best as a result, and he has some difficulty taking total responsibility in a serious situation, when it's easier for him to make some joke or laugh about it. He always means well though, and generally attempts to use his sense of humour to make others happy or to cheer them up if they've been having a bad day. Overall he's a very friendly, helpful guy, he's often happy to lend a hand in whatever way he can and has somewhat of a habit of handing out far more favours than he calls for, always without any form of complaint. Generally, Jackson is a fairly charismatic individual, and is pretty easy to get on with, Jackson's enemies are essentially nonexistent, and usually becomes friends with anyone he spends enough time around, usually able to see the good sides of anyone.

Considering his capability to get along with others, Jackson is almost impossible to anger. He maintains that he has not been properly angry since 2007, although there are a few specific things one can do to piss him off. When he's upset, generally Jackson will avoid making an issue out of it as long as he can avoid it, generally preferring to stay quiet and wait things out as opposed to risking the issue being made worse. He is no coward however, and can and will take the initiative to deal with an issue head-on, if there is no other alternative. Despite being fairly charismatic, Jackson's somewhat of an introvert, and prefers to avoid being at the center of attention in a party, he never holds parties or get-togethers of his own, but will usually go along to them without incident, as long as he can stick around his closer friends.

When it comes to relationships, Jackson usually is of a one-track mind. Usually, Jackson avoids intimacy to a significant degree, due to a fear of commitment. Many of Jackson's past relationships have lasted a few months, a couple of sexual encounters, and then a fairly dull breakup, apart from a few more dramatic instances.

Jackson is not the best roommate, to put it bluntly. He is committed enough to keeping communal spaces, like the living room and kitchen, fairly clean, though he doesn't really have much of a problem with leaving out last night's Chinese takeout until it starts to stink. When it comes to his own room, it's a much different story with Jackson, his mother continues to describe his bedroom as a 'hive of scum and villainy', usually a total sty, with clothes and empty bottles and cans scattered all over the place. The only area of his room that is kept clean is the area of his desk where his computer is, kept in almost impeccable condition so that he can work and play at it much easier. Jackson usually needs a little push from his roommates in remembering more important things, like when the rent is due, and when there might be an inspection, as he usually has no initiative in the more administrative aspects of living.

Generally, Jackson tries to make as little trouble for his roommates as he can, and with a little pushing and prodding, he will happily clean up any mess he's made, however he does have a habit of staying up to ungodly hours of the night playing video games and commentating on e-sports games, which is a habit he's taken up as somewhat of a second job. He doesn't really care about people coming in and out of his room, provided they knock first, after a few awkward incidents with an old roommate. He's very relaxed when it comes to his own room, and never really thinks anyone could make it worse than he already has.

Born in Sydney, Australia, Jackson spent much of his young life as somewhat of a miscreant, his father a police officer, and so an authority figure he always liked to defy. He regularly got himself into trouble at school and with the police, and much of his childhood at school was spent in detention, or the principals office. After 8th grade, his behaviour and grades began to improve significantly, and Jackson eventually was awarded dux of his class in 11th Grade, doing well enough in the final year of his high schooling to go to the illustrious University of Sydney. Having always held a love for music, but too much stage fright to really perform himself, he took a course in audio-engineering and musical theory. Completing the course, he began to contact people he'd met during the course and online, searching for work, eventually managing to secure work at a fairly big venue in Los Angeles.

Moving over to the US, Jackson struggled at first to find somewhere to live, and for the first few weeks in LA he lived in a rental van outside his work, eventually managing to get an apartment with some co-workers. In the two years he's lived in LA, Jackson's had a number of different relationships, the longest lasting roughly five months, and he's begun to involve himself in the scene of professional gaming. Jackson has a Youtube Channel for gameplay and commentary on shooters, and works every now and then as a commentator of esports events.

Jackson 'Infern0' Miller (Born 5 November, 1994) is a StarCraft II commentator from Australia, currently residing in the United States. Jackson first became involved in StarCraft II after entering the WCS California regional qualifier and achieving second place, after this incident he began his Youtube channel under the name 'Infern0' to focus on providing gameplay for StarCraft and Counter-Strike. He regularly commentates for WCS and ESL.

• Jackson is a casual smoker, generally he'll only smoke at parties or when he's had a particularly rough day, but he almost always carries a pack of cigarettes on him, usually he'll be fairly antsy if he doesn't have it with him.
• Jackson has what some would consider a mild drinking problem, he regularly has one or two beers with dinner, and spends a reasonable amount of his salary on beer and whisky, though he tries to avoid getting drunk when he does drink.

• Bass Guitar. Jackson has been playing the instrument since he was young, though he mostly does it as a hobby, being far too much of an introvert to actually consider performing with it, despite any skill he really has with the instrument.
• Mechanics/Tech. Jackson knows his way away around most aspects of the musical trade, generally able to fix most if not all problems with most instruments and peripherals. He also has this skill in relation to cars, having spent some of his time during University working at a Car Repair company.
• Resourceful. Jackson's charismatic attitude and his ability to make connections has allowed him to meet with some fairly important figures in the scene, and makes him a definite 'in' for any aspiring band looking to make it big, he's good for helping to get people together, particularly managers and venue-owners.

• Half of Jackson's bedroom is essentially a workshop, usually scattered with parts of amps, guitars and microphones which he works on modifying, fixing and just generally screwing around with.
• Jackson won a 1967 Chevrolet Impala in a random draw a few months after coming to the US, and he treats it especially well. It is his main way of getting around, and he never lets anyone drive it but himself.
• Jackson is also a huge momma's boy, and generally tries to call his mother every night he is able, usually, he'll be fairly upset if he is unable to.
