Generally he'll keep his hair somewhat short, but has been known to grow it out when he feels like doing so, he religiously uses product in it however, he's a fan of his hair. Liam usually has a smirk of some kind on his face, and has been noted to generally look a bit smug.

Personality;
Inquisitive - Liam loves knowing things, it partly comes from being a journalist, and part just from the way he is. When Liam finds something that interests him, or has the potential to, he will make every effort to learn more about it, often going to the effort of many hours of research on an incident, topic, or person which has captured his attention. This generally applies for those he befriends as well, as he'll usually work to learn as much as he can about them without stepping over any boundaries.

Stubborn - Liam is very firm in his beliefs, and in what he knows is right and wrong. He is also very firm when trying to get information from a source, or in an interview. Often he will grill people, or be rather difficult to beat in an argument as he can get more and more aggressive to defend his position or push for what he thinks he will get. He is not very likely to admit whenever he's wrong, and sticks to his beliefs and decisions often even after he knows they were wrong.

Industrious - Liam is an incredibly hard worker, some would say too hard. He dedicates himself almost entirely to his work and is usually happy to spend his time at home working on a piece, or stay late at the office to do the same. He always meets his deadlines, and is quick to jump on any sort of task which is set before him without any sort of complaint.

Sarcastic - Liam cannot help himself when it comes to being sarcastic, or a smartass in any sort of way. While amusing to himself, it can be quite a source of irritation for others, as he answers some questions in a generally unhelpful and sometimes even patronizing manner. It can be hard at time to tell when Liam is being sarcastic, or genuine, as some of his mannerisms are generally the same either way.

Place of Origin;
Sydney, Australia

History;
Born down under in Sydney, Australia, Liam had a fairly rocky upbringing. He was the oldest of four kids, having a brother and two younger sisters. While his mother was a sweet, kind and caring woman, Liam's father was a drunk and abusive, he would hit Liam, his siblings, and his mother fairly regularly. Liam stepped up as he got older, and once when he was in high school broke a bottle across his father's face to protect his father. As Liam got older and stronger, he could defend his family against his father much easier, and his father began to drink and attack them less as a result. Despite this rather terrible relationship with his own father, Liam was always encouraged by his mother and cared for by him, and went on to do rather well in his own academic pursuits.

Liam built his fascination with journalism and the world of news at a young age. Shortly after he had turned thirteen, Liam stayed up throughout the night to follow reporting of the 9/11 attacks, Liam admired the reporters, and their dedication to the events as they happened. Moving on from high school, Liam went to the University of Sydney to study a bachelor of Media and Communications. He did relatively well in his degree, and grew close to a few transfer students from the United States. It was while at the University of Sydney that Liam also developed a love of literature, and a deep interest in public affairs. He got involved with the student press, and before graduating was one of the lead writers at the student newspaper.

Shortly after graduating, Liam chose not to search for work immediately, but following the example of his American friends, looked into studying abroad. Eventually, he settled on studying in the United States, and moved to do his Masters of Journalism at Harvard. Liam continued to involve himself with student reporting, and took up an internship at a few local news channels as he studied. Graduating, Liam had plenty of references and contacts, and was lucky enough to be able to secure a position as a new associate producer at CNN in New York. Moving to the city, he followed an ad relating to the Times Square apartments, and not particularly minding the idea of having a roommate, even one he didn't know, he took up the ad and moved in.

Misc.;
Liam is the owner of a male black cat named "Sancho"
The single exception to Liam's hate of country music is Tom T Hall's "That's How I Got To Memphis"
Germany or Switzerland would probably be my favorite places to visit

Name:
Joseph Edward Ripple

Nickname:
Sometimes, since his name is Joseph, people just call him Joe. Most Josaphs do like that, but this one doesn't. He thinks that he should use the full name he was born with.

Date of Birth:
5/17/1991

Age:
26 years of age.

Gender:
Male

Sexuality:
Heterosexual

Relationship Status:
Single

Sexually Active;
Yes

Occupation:
Joseph is an actor that was recently sued. He lost most of his money, having to resort to an appartment.

Room Number:
Room 500

In Depth Appearance:
Joseph is slightly taller than the average person, but his hair might count for a bit of that. His reddish brown hair comes off his head a small bit, but would definately add to his height. It's usually pretty curly, but sometimes he'll calm it down a little and do something else with it. His hair also brings out his ocean blue eyes quite nicely, his eyes being one of the first things people tend to notice.

He typically wears nicer clothing, vests being one of his favorites. And that's not just for formal events, no. He'll wear them around the house, going shopping, just about anything. For the important events that he goes to, he usually resorts to a normal grey suit or something of the like. When he's feeling particularily lazy, he may throw on a flannel, sweater, or something else comfortable. He refuses to wear shorts, even for movie roles. Instead, he goes for either slim, black or blue jeans. One of his favorite things, however, are hats. Anything odd, no baseball caps. But fedoras and such, they are his favorite thing in the world. He could never go without them.

Habits | Oddities | Quirks;
Habits:
Joseph is a nail biter. Yeah, yeah, he knows it's bad for you, but he can't really help it, now. It's become almost a dependance when he's on edge. When he's in a good mood, though, he seems to hum and snap his fingers a lot. He's a very pleasant person, when he's in a good mood.

Oddities and Quirks:
Joseph has a tendancy to constantly find change in his pockets. He never really knows where it comes from, but it's helped him out of a pickle, so he won't complain. When he stands still, he finds himself rocking side to side. He also has no idea why he does this, but it's calming. Also, when he's working on acting for a character, he likes to live like that character would. If the guy's a crazy person, he'd act much more risky and strange. If he were a nice person, he'd act just like that, nicer than usual.

Hobbies;
Joseph has always been an actor, both on stage, and in movies. While he's never been in anything extrememly big, he's been found in many smaller movies. That being said, you'll even still find him in plays, this time in bigger productions. He's also big into music, always having some earbuds around, whether that be in his pocket of around his neck. He's dabbled in singing.

Secrets:
He was sent to juvy when he was fifteen. The whole story is unknown, even he has forgotten bits and pieces, but he does remember some. He'd been with some friends, and they decided it'd be fun to drive around one of their parents' cars. Well, needless to say, they didn't know how to drive, and they wound up getting into an accident. He drove it head on into another car, killing the driver. While him and his friends were alright, he shooed his friends away and took the blame for himself. It was his fault, of course, but the other kids probably shouldn't have been with him. He was treated poorly in juvy, but he learned his lesson.

There's also the story about him being sued. Rumors say that he beat a man half to death for no reason, must have mental issues or something. But the true story never got out into anybody's minds. In reality, a coworker had him by the neck, trying to steal from him, money or something. Joseph isn't one to just let things like that happen, so he struggled out of his grip and beat the living shit out of him. He's ok, he's not dead or anything. But he'll definately have some perminant scars. He's never done anything like that before, he was afraid for his life. But as I said, nobody actually knows the truth. He's tried to explain, but nobody ever listens.

Likes:
+Acting
+Listening to music
+Singing
+Whistling
+Money
+Attention (Though after being sued, he's change a lot. In fact, now he'd rather not be given much attention at all)
+Listeners
+Coffee
+Light rain

Dislikes:
-Jumping to conclusions
-Arrogance
-Tea
-Thunder
-Lightening
-Complete silence
-Drugs (He's tried them, but just can't stand them)

Fears:
The fear of completely losing his job is very strong. He thinks that he was born for acting, and if it's taken away forever, he may not be able to deal with it. The fact that he's lost many job opportunities due to his recent legal issues only adds to this. He is also afraid of being attacked, both verbally and physically. The way he handled it when it happened has him afraid that he may snap again. All in all, he's afraid of losing himself, who he is.

Personality;
Easygoing - Joseph is a generally cool and easygoing person. He's always down to relax, but he also enjoys being active and doing things. People who know him say that he can definately party hard, but he also knows when to calm down and cool it. He's been known for denying any form of drugs at parties though. He's explained to many people that he does not think they enhance fun at all, they just make you feel horrible the day after. Alcohol, on the other hand, is not a problem for him. He can't even explain why it's better than drugs, considering that he's had his fair share of hangovers.

Considerate - Joseph doesn't often do things without thinking about the people around him. If he's going to go partying, he has to have a list of everybody who will be going, checking what he can and can't do. He's very good at holding back parts of himself that may make others feel uncomfortable, being an actor and all. Acting certainly has it's benefits.

Quickly Aggrivated - He gets angry and annoyed very fast. When people start to act stupid, are selfish, or anything in between, he's had enough. He's also not afraid to say so, often asking people to leave if they get out of hand. He frequently tells peoples things like "Alright, alright, settle down now." or "Ok, relax a little, eh?".

Awkward - He's not exactly the most open person, especially when it comes to talking about his career. He has a hard time talking about himself, too, because sometimes he doesn't quite know who he is. He gets lost, mostly because he plays so many characters and sometimes even permenantly takes on a trait of that character. He doesn't really mean to, of course, but it's also a sign that he's good at his job.

Place of Origin:
Native to New York, New York.

History:
Ever since he was a little kid, Joseph has always been interested in acting. He was in little kids plays, often taking on a large role, and even was put into some larger productions, playing a kid, obviously. He grew up with parents who significantly supported his plans. Actually, they were failed actors, so the fact that he was getting deals as big as they were was quite exciting for them. Something to give them closure, knowing that somewhere down the road, their family had done it.

Just after he'd gotten a big deal, he and his friends got into a bad car accident. They crashed head on into another car, killing the driver. While he did take the blame, he regretted it once he was sent to juvy. He was there for three years, got out a little early for good behavior. He knew that he'd messed up big, and was thankful that it didn't affect his acting as much as it could've. He even kept practicing while he was in juvy, ignoring the other kids who made fun of him. He would use the books to come up with characters to play, and become immersed in them within his cell.

When he got out, he set on a mission to take on his dreams again. He fought long and hard for a deal in a smaller movie, eventually getting the part. The movie bombed, but he was paid pretty well. With the money he'd made, he invested in making himself look the part. A year after his first movie, he got another opportunity. This movie, much unlike his first, took off in the theaters. He made tons of money, and his role as a small supporting character landed him bigger roles in the near future. He was never a lead, but he was given some bigger supporting characters.

In his latest movie, he was attacked and eventually sued for fighting back. While he doesn't understand how his story was unbelievable, he had his upcoming roles taken away. Nobody wanted to deal with a man who "beat his coworkers". He had most of his money taken away, but still had enough to pay rent. This brought him the idea of staying in an apartment, still in the city, where he could practice and become better. Maybe he'd become so good, people would ignore his past.

Misc.:
His parents are very clingy, always wanting to know what he's up to next. He's lied the past few times they'd called, saying he's gotten a few roles. Unfortunately, he's gotten none.

An occasional smoker, one can find him at the local cigar lounge from time to time. He also will no turn down a drink, though he prefers a nice glass of scotch.

Personality;
Positive Trait
-Daniel is very kind. He looks out for others before he looks to take care of himself. Oftentimes he gets hurt because of this fact. He isn't exactly gullible. But he has a hard time saying no to people who ask. He is also very genuine. He makes a promise, he keeps it.
-Daniel is very faithful. To those who he have committed to, he will remain so. His last relationship lasted 4 years. In those years, he remained faithful to the woman who he thought was the one. However, the same cannot be said about her. He discovered her exploits and confronted her about it. Through arguments, then pleads, he took her back. Not before long, she was back to her ways, and yet again he forgave her. The third time however, was the last straw. She struck up a relationship with his best friend at the time. Needless to say, neither of them are in his life anymore...

Negative Trait
-Daniel is quite impatient. He understands the old adage of 'Patient is a virtue'. However, when he needs or wants something, he expects them to be brought to him, or made available, as efficiently as possible.
-Daniel, though not outwardly rich, can be a bit frivolous with his spending at times. Coming from a background where money was in no short supply, he has grown fond to the better things in life. His parents, who came from nothing, instilled a sense of frugality in him. He has taken it to heart but he has bout of frivolous spending from time to time. One can see this from his odd collections of things in his apartment...
Place of Origin;
United States, Minnesota, Minneapolis

History;
Growing up in the Midwest, Daniel had the quintessential American childhood, except one thing. He was adopted. However, that fact did not hinder his formative years. He went through the public schooling system, growing up with the same group of friends throughout the years. Playing sports, chasing girls, all the while making sure his grades where in order. Through his parents, he learned how to do business. How to do business shrewdly. However, that was not where his heart was. He loved sports. His parents did not. They saw sports as nothing more than a hobby one used to pass the time. They tried to get their son into the same line of business as they were, and he refused.

Bearing the love for their son, his parents let him be and set him on the right course to be successful in whichever field he so choose. He choose journalism. Deciding on attending Syracuse University, he packed his bags and his parents sent him on his way.

After graduating with a masters in journalism, he sought out the numerous opportunities in New York, landing a junior staff writing gig at the local newspaper covering the more obscure sports. That brought him to where he is now...

Misc.;
-He loves to travel. He really wants to visit Asia as that is his birthplace
-He speaks fluent mandarin and Taiwanese. It was his parent's native tongue and they made sure he spoke it as well

Daniel knew Bora growing up. Their family were close friends and thus they grew up as friends. Being the older one, Daniel never thought much of Bora besides her being a bit shy and quiet around him. It has been years since he saw her last. It was definitely odd running into her at his new apartment. He didn't recognize her at first but the more he looked at him, the more he thinks about how pretty she has gotten over the years...

Name:Archer Tyler Longfellow

Nickname: Archie, AT-AT

Date of Birth: June 23rd, 1989

Age: 27

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Relationship Status: Single

Sexually Active: Yes

Occupation: Public Information Officer at the United Nations Headquarters.

Room Number: TBD

In Depth Appearance:
Archer is a gangly 6’4”, with very dirty blonde hair with blue eyes. He likes to keep his hair short since it makes it easier to style and he has a bad habit of forgetting to shave for days at a time which usually leads to a decent amount of stubble on his face. He is always a constant 150 pounds which is probably due to his constant amount of running.

He always has at least one suit available at all times due to the likelihood that he will get called into work at any time to work on an important press release. His favorite one though is a gray suit he got from his grandfather before he passed away. Anytime he has a chance to get out of a suit he takes that opportunity. His favorite is any t-shirt he can possibly find with gym shorts. They grant him a freedom that suits never could.

Habbits/Oddities/Quirks:
Archer runs like no tomorrow. His job creates a lot of stress for him and he finds it is the best way for him to release the stress. The other way he is able to release his stress is by smoking. His intake fluctuates between a couple cigarettes a day on a stress free day to a whole pack over the course of a work day.

Archer flips his pen whenever he thinks or is sitting still for too long. His skills in this ability would be Olympic level if there was such an event. He has a major Jekyll and Hyde complex. Anything that involves his work causes Archer to have a completely anal personality. He takes his personal life a lot less seriously and it usually causes him to forget important things, such as eating, cleaning, and even his own birthday.

Hobbies

• Running
• Watching the news
• Traveling
• Eating

Secrets:
He used to be totally addicted to opiates back when he was in college and he was only able to wean himself off one addiction by replacing it with another. He smokes because he fears if he stops it will lead him back down that dark road.

He is currently working on a press release that United Nation peacekeepers have opened fire in South Sudan and it might lead to direct military intervention by world powers.

Likes:

• Running
• A good smoke
• Doing nothing in his free time
• Star Wars
• Writing an awesome press release
• Sunny days
• Public Speaking

Dislikes:

• Suits
• Drugs
• Talking politics with friends
• Thunderstorms
• Stubborn people
• Starbucks
• Sushi

Fears:

• Falling back into his addiction
• His career stagnating and he never moves up past his current position.

Personality:

Positive Traits:
Whenever he is tasked with a job to get done he tackles it head on, but not without a thinking of a plan that is the most efficient or effective. His industriousness is what caused him to move up quickly through the ranks and it has won him praise throughout the United Nations. Even with these high praises, he stays humble due to the fact he knew how low he could get. He does not allow praise to get to his head. His humbleness allows him to see situations more clear since his actions will not be determined by how others will praise or see him.

Negative Traits:
A positive can also be a negative, his ability to focus on a certain job will lead to blinders that block out other parts of his life. This tunnel vision will usually lead to Archer forgetting important things about his personal life. This makes having a stable relationship difficult, since he will accidently forget dates or get called into work at odd times. Another flaw in Archer’s ability to have a stable relationship is the fact that he can be lustful. He doesn’t mean to fall into the same trap over and over again, but he finds that he can’t say no. His sister always tells him that the right girl will settle him down, but he doesn’t know if that’s true.

Place of Origin:
Missoula, Montana

History:

Archer was born to a family of ranchers based in Missoula. This made his family one of the most prominent in the city. He has an older brother, Castor, and an older sister, Irene. That meant his older brother was most likely to inherit Longfellow Ranch, and his older brother was always more inclined towards that kind of life. They are now the same height, but his brother has a solid 80 pounds on Archer. Archer needed to find out what he wanted to do with his life and he found it during high school.

Archer ended up being a natural in Model United Nations and he fell in love with the whole process over the course of his high school years. He figured since being an actual representative was harder to obtain, he would focus on actually work for the United Nations. He was also the editor of his schools newspaper, so he decided to combine his two loves by setting his aim on the Public Information Office within the United Nation Public Information Office. He worked hard and even graduated a year early to make his dreams come true.

He went to Northwestern University to study Journalism. What his college friends didn’t know during these years was his massive addiction to opiates that he got through a friend. His life was mostly a blur whenever he wasn’t in class, but he was still able to focus on his classwork it needed to be done. He was naturally gifted, so he always felt that no matter what he would get everything done. Unfortunately he did throughout his college career, but when he went home for the summer between his junior and senior year he got high on codeine instead of looking after the horses which caused them to escape. A storm struck, many of the horses died and it almost caused his family to lose their ranch. He realized he needed help, so he went to his family and they were there to support him.

He was able to graduate Magna Cum Laude and he moved on to a Masters in Communications at Northwestern University. He also minored in Mandarin and Arabic, on top of the Spanish he took in high school to try and boost his chances of getting hired. This caused Archer to be in large amounts of debt, so he has been forced to live a frugal life.

He started out as a Principal Public Information Officer, so he was forced to work in the field all around the world. He has been to every continent (except Antarctica) and has been forced to sleep on the ground in tents in order to report to his higher ups. This caused him to get use to traveling with the press corps and rooming with people around his age.

He was finally promoted to an officer position at an office and he was lucky enough to be moved to the actual Headquarters. When he heard about Time Square Apartments he realized that it would be the perfect place to live. Especially since it was cheap so he could save up to pay off his student debts and also to pay for his travels around the world. It would also give him an opportunity to meet new people and experience city living that he hasn’t experienced since his college years.

Misc.:
He is fluent in English, Spanish, Arabic, and Mandarin.
He has always had the dream of moving to New York City, and he thinks this will be the most amazing experience ever.

Name;
Theresa Rosine Sparks

Nickname;
'Tessa' - she prefers if everyone calls her this as she sees her full name as being too formal.
'Tess'- her closer friends will call her this, but less so than her other nickname.

Date of Birth;
8th February, 1996

Age;
20 years old

Gender;
Female

Sexuality;
Pansexual

Relationship Status;
Single

Sexually Active;
Not really, most people aren't interested enough in her

Occupation;
Hotel Maid

Room Number;

In Depth Appearance;
Standing at only 5"1, Tessa has a petite, dancer's body. Her thick mahogany locks fall down to her mid-back is loose waves in which are found to be pretty much untameable in the early hours of the morning. Her angelic features include wide, chocolate-brown eyes framed by dark lashes, a dusting of freckles across the bridge of her nose, and full pink lips hiding her pearly white teeth. Her clothing usually consists of pastel-coloured summery dresses and tops that flaunt her ballerina's physique; and she wears next to no makeup excluding special occasions. Tess tends to stay away from high heels, thanks to her clumsiness, so likes to wear ballet pumps or Converse.

Habits | Oddities | Quirks;
Daydreaming; Tessa is seemingly always in a world of her own, she'll often zone out of conversations and people often view her as being too distracted to manage.
Labelled as mute; making her voice heard is not something that Tessa is used to. She just doesn't talk. No one really knows the reason for it, but she is perfectly comfortable staying quiet most of the time.
Nail biting; a nervous trait she has picked up over time, her hands are often bloody and her fingernails torn and jagged.

Hobbies;
Dancing; this girl is truly passionate when it comes to her dancing. It is when she is dancing that she is most comfortable, more smiley and clearly more open with others.
Hairstyling; Tessa's long hair is rarely seen is being in a plain ponytail or simply left down, there's almost always a nice-looking twist or braid in there somewhere
Cleaning; being a hotel maid, Tessa likes everything to be spic and span. She takes pride in cleanliness, which is why the state of her nails is such a shock to most people.

Secrets;
- She keeps a diary, expressing whatever she cannot vocally onto the pages of an old red leather book.
- Is a virgin, although nobody has ever thought to ask, she still sees it as being quite an embarassing aspect of herself.

Likes;
- Dancing, especially ballet
- Flowers in her hair
- Long names
- Disney movies
- Solitude
- sunshine
- Her job

Dislikes;
- Being so quiet
- Heavy music
- Her nails
- Romance
- Scarlett Johansen
- The dark
- Smell of cut grass (hayfever)

Fears;
Public Humiliation, especially if it involves her appearance.
Betrayal, very much due to her parents' relationship.
Personality;
Amicable - Tessa will do whatever she can to keep the peace. She despises any sort of conflict, resulting in her putting other's happiness before her own. She is never truly comfortable unless everyone else is at ease around her and she makes it her priority to put a smile on their faces. In this way she is very selfless, almost to the point of being destructively so, but selfless nonetheless.

Innocent- Tessa has a purity to her that is very much rarely found these days. Her vulnerable mental and physical state is something that brings out the protectiveness in most people, as well as tempting out the goodness in others. Her happiness is so remarkable that one smile could be enough to brighten a day, and her sadness enough to make anyone feel helpless. Because of this innocence to her, she feels things much more powerfully than what is seen as normal, which is mostly the cause of her need for others to be content.

Enigmatic - Because of her lack of words, most find Tessa's mystery to be infuriating. Her silence leads a lot of people to view her as a stranger, someone always on the outside of things. Few even just regard her as an object rather than an actual person, perhaps ignoring her completely or underestimating how smart she actually can be.

Naïve - Her innocence often does lead to her vulnerability when it comes to trust. Tessa tries very hard to find the good in everyone, even if it is not necessarily there. She can be tricked easily in that sense, and, seeing as she does experience heightened emotions, the effects of her being conned or mislead could have a great toll on her emotional state. She is very much like a precious crystal glass; she is extremely valuable, yet once she has been broken, it is near impossible to return her back to the way she was before.

Place of Origin;
London, England

History;
Tessa was born into a rich family and, being an only child, was given everything she wanted. In her early childhood years, it was clear to see that she was a spoilt brat. In nursery, if she was not happy, she would hold her breath until something was done about it. She would frequently be ill after suffering fainting spells because of this habit. Her bratty behaviour and infuriating attitude got her kicked out of many schools across London until it got to the point in which her parent had had enough and off to boarding school she went.

In this new school she was harshly disciplined and a completely changed girl emerged six months later. This new start, however, could not change the fact that Tessa's parents were struggling. During her second summer break when she was fourteen years old, Tessa walked in on her father screwing another woman. It had been the last straw for her mother, so they packed up and left to stay with relatives in New York.

The events that had unfolded and the mess that was now her life took a huge toll on Tessa. She lapsed into becoming 'selectively mute', as diagnosed by a counsellor. As soon as she reached the age of eighteen, her mother told her to leave. The excuse was that she 'looked too much like her father', with her large brown eyes and fair skin.

Not many landlords were interested in housing a 'psychologically damaged' girl such as herself, at least, not until she met Mister Black. He set her up with an apartment without much fuss and she now has been settled in for just over a year.

Misc.;
- In case you don't already know, Tessa is selectively mute.
- My favourite place to visit is by far Disneyland.

Aspiring filmmaker/actor and a bartender at a small pub called the Lion's Den

Room Number;
Room 509

In Depth Appearance;
Tousled blonde hair and a smile that should be illegal, Reed is quite the looker. His teeth have that trademark look that comes from years of having braces, and are pearly white, a result of having a dad who's a dentist. His eyes are a deep blue, and have led many a girl into his bedroom. He's slender though not lacking in muscle, due to the time he puts in at the gym. He's not too short either, standing at about 6 feet, with shoes on, closer to 5'11 without. While he doesn't have any piercings, his wrist has a tattoo with the coordinates to his home town, 38.8027° N, 123.5778° W

Fears;
- Death

- Growing up

Personality;
Creative - Reed has an amazingly creative mind, and can find art in anything. Wherever he looks, he sees a potential scene for a movie, or a potential picture. This has led him to become quite the artist, mainly behind the camera, but it also gives him quite the party planning skills. A night out with Reed will always be memorable, and if he was one for romance, he'd be quite amazing at planning them.

Promiscuous - Everyone knows that Reed is a man-whore. He's a flirt, a floozy, a dirty skank. He just can't seem to settle down, which is most definitely related to his issues with letting people in. Said promiscuity can often rub people the wrong way, as he has a tendency to flirt with just about anyone and everyone.

Closed Off - Any woman that's tried to start a relationship with Reed will tell you the same thing. He's not good at letting people in. Sure, he makes friends easy enough, but he rarely tells them much about his past. He doesn't do well with sensitivity, a fact that he hides behind a large wall of sarcasm and humor.

Loyal - When you're a friend of Reed's you become something akin to family. He sees friendship as something sacred and would never do anything to jeopardize it. In fact, he's one to go above and beyond for his friends, and would never betray them. He's been known to get into fist fights in bars, just because some shitty dude tried to hit on one of his female friends.

Place of Origin;
Anchor Bay, California

History;
Lucas Riley met Sarah McDermott on a rainy Wednesday in a diner just on the outskirts of her hometown of Anchor Bay. He sat down for a milkshakes, and one thing led to another, and two years later they were married. Theirs was truly a fairy tale romance, complete with love letters and everything. It was adorable. And then they graced the world with Abraham Reed Riley. Or as he likes to call himself, God's Gift to Man.

Reed grew up in Anchor Bay with a population of 340 people. About 100 of those people were his age, which didn't lend itself to very many social situations unfortunately. Despite these limitations, Reed was always extremely sociable, and he became known around town as quite the talker. Always the character, the whole town couldn't help but love him. He'd talk your ear off while his dad drilled into your teeth. Such was his way.

As he grew older, Reed's sociable nature led to his entrance into the world of alcohol and rebellion. As he entered his teens, he became quite the drinker, a fact which was not lost on his parents. But, despite repeated groundings and numerous scoldings, he refused to give up his life of teenaged debauchery. The only thing that he truly had a passion for was film, but even that didn't keep him from going out late at night and getting black out drunk with his friends. And as his grades plummeted, his life took a turn for the worst.

He was seventeen and had come home with three D's. His worst grades to date. He was drunk, he always was, and his dad came in to his room, fuming. There was a fight, not that he remembers most of it, and harsh words were exchanged. And then, his dad left, saying he needed to drive off his anger. His mom was crying in the living room. His dad didn't come home. The police came the next morning, and gave them the news. It was hard, and Reed blamed himself. It kept him from drinking for a while, but he took it up again, and right after high school, he moved to New York, and moved into Room 509, unable to deal with the guilt of his hometown.

Since then, he's made a few movies, nothing too great, but they've been featured in small indie film festivals. He's really hoping to get something accepted into something like Sundance, with bigger exposure, or to even act in something really great, but for now, he's just a bartender.

My favorite place to visit is the mountains :)

Personality;

She doesn't hate anyone for just hating them, they have to actually give her a reason for her to hate him.

She hates being distant and times but most people don’t even know that she is distant, considering her other personality traits.

Place of Origin;
Manhattan, New York.

History;
Roxanne grew up in a very wealthy lifestyle. Whatever she wanted was basically dropped at her feet within minutes. She liked growing up rich and having everything she wanted despite what others might think of her. She wasn’t raised to be stuck up like also all of Manhattan is so she made friends with everyone in the neighborhood – Even the poorer people. She didn’t care and found out that the poorer people were the best people to hang around so she did for quite some time. Soon, she parted ways with them due to a wrong place, at the wrong time incident that her mother and father didn’t hear about until a week later.

She found other ways to make herself have fun as she asked her parents to sign her up for singing and dancing lessons, which they did and even paid for a full time advancement without her knowing. Her parents even signed her up for Manhattan Magnet School for the Performing Arts. She excelled in her level of expertise and quickly got noticed by her peers, most who absolutely hated her.

Roxanne’s parents sent her to performing arts camp at the age of thirteen to see if she’d have better luck at making friends and she sure did but of course, she’d make some enemies as well. She loved being at the camp and even asked her parents if she could return there the following years. As time rolled on, she became and grew into an intelligent young woman even moving out as soon as she graduated high school. She still lives in New York, getting a job not too far from her work place, Village Coffee, where she is now the head cashier.

She loves being in New York at Times Square Apartments more than she loves being at home or in school and hopes that this year will be like the others in the past – Fun and full of life. Hopefully, no drama will surround her this year though.

In Depth Appearance;
Ida's a petite young lady, standing no more than 5'3, with definite curves in just the right places. She has a revealing vertical scar on her chest w/c she got from a heart surgery when she was 12. Because of this, she would wear shirts that would conceal the most part of her chest, usually to avoid people asking about it (w/c gets really tiresome to explain overtime). Although at some occasions she doesnt mind wearing V-necks or shoulder bare clothing, specially during her work hours. After highschool, she used to have long mid-length hair but, recently she decided to chop it off, for a change.

Ida is somewhat a fashion nut to the point where she gets too overdressed, as she has a fascination for pin up so most of the time she gets her style from there. She also has a fondess for dresses and cateeye make up, in a way earning it as a trademark. When no one looks, however, she has a lowkey fondness for silly graphic shirts and flannels.

---

---

Personality;
Positive Trait - Although a practical and straightforward person professionally, Ida's a free spirit, a complete opposite of the life she grew up in. A creative young woman and a good story teller, it's never dull when people hang out with her. She likes to socialize with different groups and collect a variety of ideas and opinions that she incorporates in her artistic works as a copywriter, w/c she is also very good at due to her outgoing nature. She aspires to be the best in what she does and would often take long nights of studying and research, a perfectionist, as some would come describe her.

Negative Trait - She pushes herself too hard to the point that its too much for her to handle, as if she always wanted to prove something, to prove she's a better person than what people initially expect of her. She has so many insecurities that she'd shut people out when they get too close to her, and would mask her true feelings with her outgoing demeanor. Almost none would notice it, but someone who knows her well has no problem in seeing through the cracks and leaks.

Place of Origin;
Manila, Philippines.

---

---

History;
Ida was born to a rich and controversial family of a political Dynasty. The Mercados were known for their power in the political seat during the 70's. Though the glory days have long been over, the family has always kept their reputation by squeezing in to fame through social publicities or politics. Ida hated it so much.

She has 2 siblings, an older brother, Manuel, and a younger one, Alphonso, who were brought up to their parents strict standards, in both their public and private lives. Ida rarely had the freedom to enjoy childhood, with her every move watched and corrected by her mother, w/c more than once landed in harsh punishments. Ida hated her mother as much as she feared her. She never truly felt, therefore considered her as a maternal figure, but her caretaker, Nanay Edna, was more than a mother to her than she'll ever be. The kids are fond of Edna, and Ida always enjoyed her stories of fairies and dwarves as a young child who spent her years bedridden due to her heart condition. Overtime, Ida's heart condition worsened w/c immediately got her into surgery, and got that huge scar on her chest. Her condition was remedied for a time but hasnt really fully recovered. By recommendation of the family doctor, Ida still has to be monitored regulary and as much as possible, avoid possible triggers that would endanger her current stability.

Because of her parent's harsh upbringing it was no surprise that Ida rebelled against them, well, mentally at least. She was too good, too scared of defying her parents, until during her firsy year in college as an accounting major (by her parents wishes of course), someone, a good friend, had helped her get out and see the world. This is where she put her fantasy rebellion into reality, going to parties, skipping class(she hated math btw)and, oh yeah, coming out of the closet to w/c her parents, as the final being the last straw, banished her to New York with her Uncle Felipe. It's been three years since those events. She barely have any news of her family back in Manila, only through TFC or news articles and occasional calls with her younger brother, Alphonso. It seems like they dont even care and had completely forgotten her, w/c Ida is more than fine with as long as they dont bother her. At least that's what she tries to tell herself.

Personality;
Positive Traits
- Observant- Dex is very observant. He grew up reading a lot of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and grew up with Sherlock Holmes as a role model. Many people have noted the similarities he has to him. Despite this, Dex knows that the legendary detective was leagues from where he is, although there's not much that he misses.

- Open-minded: Dex is a very open-minded individual, able to accept people for who they are. He doesn't believe in labeling people by societal standards. Instead, he prefers to observe them and make his own judgements based on facts. Because of this, he is able to accept people for who they are, not who they were.

- Driven- Overly so. Dex knows that he's good at what he does, and he does his best to excel at his job. He would rather lose sleep than see a criminal get away for their crimes. However, Dex takes a few days to rest in-between cases, knowing that the can't stay driven if he doesn't stay rested.

Negative Trait
- Blunt- Dex is rather blunt in social situations, usually speaking without concern for who's feelings get hurt. He believes more in saying things as they are instead of sugar-coating the truth. In the end, he believes it does more harm than good to try to make things "easier to swallow", instead preferring the blunt and honest truth.

- Messy- Dex is a rather messy individual, preferring messes so he can "connect the dots" with his cases that he works. However, many others have complained about his messes, although he just pays them no mind. In the end for him, what matters is catching the criminal.

- Cynical- Dex thinks only the worst of humanity as a whole. He feels that people will never really be able to turn society around. He feels that there will always be someone out there willing to exploit or kill someone for their own selfish needs. Not that he minds too much. Job security and all that.

Place of Origin;
London, England

History;
Dex was born in Londan, England to a upper-middle-class family. His father sent him off to boarding school when he was seven, in the hopes of his son becoming a lawyer. However, Dex despised the school, as he was often picked on for his intelligence. After graduating, he bounced from job to job, trying to find something he could actually be interested in. However, he usually quit the job within a week. He also declined several invitations to various law schools, refusing to follow in his father's footsteps, whom he'd come to begrudge.

After a year of bouncing from job to job, he happened upon a crime scene. After being interrogated, Dex proceeded to help with the investigation, being partnered with one Capt. Johnson of Scotland Yard. Seeing his talent, Johnson hired Dex as a consulting detective with Scotland Yard. It was during this time that he met and fell in love with one Elizabeth Grant. After being lovers for a year, Dex came across some clues that she wasn't all she seemed to be. Lo and behold, it turns out that Elizabeth was really the notorious "G", who was the head of a criminal organization that specialized in smuggling, black market dealings, and murders. Realizing he'd been tricked, Dex fell into depression, turning to drugs.

After he was asked to step aside from Scotland Yard, his parents found out about his addiction. He was sent to rehab and completed his six months. After being released, Dex decided to move to New York. After he arrived, he jumped from job to job again. After another year or so of that, he encountered Capt. Jameson of the NYPD Homicide Dept. Jameson remembered Dex from a trip he took to London, and offered him a place as a consulting detective. It was shortly after that Dex moved into Time Square Apartments. He's lived theere for nearly two years now, and has been sober for nearly three years.

Misc.;
He is very well-rounded with his knowledge, having a wide variety of topics that he regularly researches. Believe it or not, it usually helps him in his cases.
He will only take cases he deems "interesting". As such, he's seen as a troubleshooter for NYPD Homicide. He will even tackle cases that have gone cold. It's not often he takes a fresh case, unless the police know there's something unusual.
He keeps a literal library in his room, with two of his walls being taken over by bookshelves he installed himself. He also turned his closet into a library, and even has several books stored around the apartment.
My favorite place to visit is Japan (hope to, haven't been yet)
