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

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

- A good bar crawl
- Making movies

- Seeing old pictures of himself
- Being reminded of his dad
- Romance novels
- Romance
- Beets

Fears;
- Death
- Dying alone
- 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.

Cafe Server

Room Number:
Room 501

In Depth Appearance#9e5f5f
Atsuko has always been a petit girl ever since she was young. she stands at five foot four inches, and weighs a good one hundred and twenty pounds. if it had not been for her constant dancing and playing sports when she was much younger, then she may have been a little chubby. however, she has managed to maintain her slim and toned build.

currently, Atsuko's hair is 14 inches long and drops to just below her shoulder blades in a mix of soft curls and waves. after previously experimenting and dying her hair, she prefers to keep it black as she has such a fair complexion. she either styles it in a low ponytails or keeps it out, depending on her mood.

like many other japanese, Atsuko has the typical, dark brown eyes. the lightest her eyes will ever be is in the sun, though she doesn't think much about the colour as it's boring. she's always envied those with hazel eyes. her lips, however, are naturally a dark pink/red colour and tend to stand out more usual.

Atsuko does not have either any tattoos or piercings, other than the two in her ears - which she tends to accessorise with cute earrings. her usual clothing attire consists of mainly light colors such as baby blue, white, pink and light red. she tends to wear cute outfits, also depending on her mood if she feels like it.​

Habits | Oddities | Quirks;

• Tends to bite my lips or chew on something, when I'm lost in thought
• Rocking back and forth. I'm not always aware that I'm doing it, it's just a tic. Sometimes it's kind of soothing.
• Whistle/Hum interchangeably when amused by something vague/trivial
• Either not looking at a person when I am talking/listening or staring them down as I am doing so.
• Usually can't remember people names, but remembers their faces so usually gives them nicknames

Hobbies:

• Reading books from the library and leaving notes in the books for others
• Traveling around the city to try different places to eat
• She is a night owl, so she love to party
• Dancing

Secrets:

• She likes to bake things and leave them in her neighbors mailbox for them to enjoy. She doesn't sign her name though or leave anything that could be said that she made them. She doesn't know if they really eat it, but if they do she hopes they enjoy it.
• She likes to pretend that she nothing more than a cafe server. But the truth is the cafe she works at was given to her by her grandparents as a congratulations on graduating college gift. She owns and runs it, but she has family friend who pretends to be the person in charge. the other employees just think she has worked there a long time, that is why she knows the cafe so well. Not that she was essential to bring the creation of the cafe

Likes:

• Loud music
• Chaotic spaces
• Baking
• Her friends
• Being creative
• Dancing
• All things spicy

Dislikes:

• Guys who don't text or call the next day
• Early mornings when she hasn't slept at all
• People who bully others
• Wasting food
• Drinks with long names
• Horror movies, Which is odd because she likes horror tv shows
• Stick-in-the-muds

Fears:

• Astraphobia – The fear of thunder/lightning AKA Brontophobia, Tonitrophobia, Ceraunophobia.
• Living a boring life
• Never finding someone who truly loves her

Personality:
Atsuko is a smart, care-free and down to earth girl. she has a soft and warm exterior. however, she can can be very friendly or snarky when she chooses to, but usually that depends on what mood she's in. she can be very closed up at times as she tries her best to not let anyone besides her best friends get close to her to keep herself from getting hurt emotionally and physically. at times she has this energy inside her that oftentimes thrusts her into the spotlight - but that isn't always where she wants to be; she would rather prefer to stay low-key.

luckily, Atsuko knows how to relax, and is perfectly capable of switching from a passionate, driven idealist to that imaginative and enthusiastic free spirit on the dance floor, often with a suddenness that can surprise even her closest friends. being in the mix also gives her a chance to connect emotionally with others as she believes everyone should take time to recognize and express their feelings. however, she needs to be quite cautious. if she relies too much on her intuition, assume, or anticipate too much about a friend's thoughts, she can misread the signals and frustrate plans that a more straightforward approach would have made simple.

but everyone also has their bad side. when in an emotional wreck, Atsuko can become very reckless; not considering anyone's thoughts and feelings. the first thing on her mind will be spoken, no matter how bad it is. once she's let it all out, she'll resort to blocking herself from everyone and reality. give her a couple days and she'll be back to normal.​

Place of Origin:
Urawa, Japan

History:
Atsuko Mari Hartley was born in Urawa, Japan on the twenty-sixth of March to a lovely young couple, Minami Watanabe and Leonard Hartley. They had met, when her father Leonard Hartley came to Japan to study japanese cuisine and hard started working at her mother Minami Watanabe's family restaurant, They soon fell in love with each other and married. They took over Minami's family restaurant and worked hard to raise money for their small family. Though as Atsuko grew up, she stayed with her mother's parents most of time due to her parents being too busy running the restaurant to earn money; they looked after her well and treated her as if she was their daughter too. however, at the age of nine years old, they both passed away due to a random attack from a stranger in the middle of the streets. the two had simply refused to give up their special belongings which led to their death. till now, the murderer has not yet been caught, and the case has been dropped. it caused a great burden on the whole of the Hartley family.

after the loss of Atsuko’s grandparents, things became a lot more difficult for her parents; she rarely attended school and helped out in the restaurant instead. because of this, she lacked incredibly with her studies though managed to skate-through quickly. but it didn't help much that her grades were low and she herself wasn't as intelligent as her parents had thought. it shocked her father the most as he had wanted her to grow up with perfect grades in order for her to be successful. so, he decided that it would be best to move to the family. packed up their bags and the three of them left for america.

As soon as Atsuko and her family moved to New York City, They moved in with her father's parents and she attended private high school. Her lack of studying from the previous school had caused her a lot of struggle with her classes and now it seems like she rarely puts in any form of effort to achieve high. With encouragement from her parents and grandparents, She worked hard to catch up in school and graduate with high marks. After she graduated high school, She became more independent from her parents. Sure, she would go to her parents and grandparents every once and while if she needed anything she couldn't get herself. But usually, She could afford anything she needed from working in a cafe close to the apartment where she lived.

I N D E P T H A P P E A R A N C E:

Bora is an Asian girl of average height, being five foot five and weighing a healthy 123. 4 pounds. She is of Korean descent, both of her parents having been born in South Korea. The teenager prefers to keep her hair long and of a darker shade, though she will lighten her hair time to time with a dash of dyed red, and is overly concerned with her personal hygiene. Before she goes to breakfast or goes to bed, Bora performs a regiment skin care ritual on her face in order to keep it clear and soft and places protective hair products in her strands to keep it silky and shiny. When Bora was fifteen, she was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) which affects her body weight and menstrual cycle. As such, Bora can only have a small amount of sugar a day and tends to obsess over the amount of calories she intakes.

When it comes to her physical appearance, Bora treats her fashion choices with care and dons only designer brand clothes. She prefers to wear lace and cotton when it comes to her clothes and she has a predilection for dresses. Her personal style could be described as a sophisticated preppy fashion style with her trendy, simple dresses or high-waisted skirts. Bora likes jewel or peter pan necklines over any other neckline and downright refuses to wear a sweetheart neckline. Bora is careful to balance her expensive clothes with only a light amount of jewelry, usually simple earrings - her favorite are her pearl earrings - and a silver necklace with one ring on her finger. Her nails are always perfectly manicured with French tips and her makeup is more natural and light than heavy or gaudy. Bora's hair is almost always down, with the occasional bun or braid here and there. The only time she will be caught dead with a ponytail is if she is working out or sleeping. Bora loves silk and as such will only wear silk pajamas and undergarments.

P E R S O N A L I T Y:

Many claim they hate Bora, even though they don’t know her. When asked why, they provide the typical answers: arrogant, spoiled, shallow, stupid. Some of these traits are important pieces of Bora’s personality, but a great deal of them aren’t.

Negative Traits -

There’s no point in lying and saying that Bora is not shallow – when it comes to material items, Bora is as shallow as they come. She has an inner need for things to look visually perfect: pristine clothes, silky hair, organized pencils. Money helps her buy items that make her world visually perfect: Gucci, Prada, Versace. Bora wants to look, and feel, her best and so she has a tendency to see others that don’t look their best as a) insecure, b) lazy, or c) clueless – but never ugly. Furthermore, it is not much of a stretch to say that Bora is spoiled. At a certain point, she stopped asking her parents for something and just got it with her credit card. Worse still, Bora is the type of girl that when she wants something, she will get it and she is thoughtless in that she never thinks of how her ambitious and indulging will affect her later on or others. As such, people see her as careless and childish rather than the sophisticated, careful woman she emulates to be. Her playful nature and emotional outbursts furthers others' opinion of her as immature and juvenile. Adding to her shallow and superficial image, Bora is hot-tempered and, when she believes she is wronged, will hold lifelong grudges, even if it is over something completely petty.

Positive Traits -

However, Bora is not without her virtues. She possesses a light character, playful and with an odd and soft sense of humor that is oddly endearing to others. When she begins something, Bora throws her whole self into it, showing an admirable dedication to her endeavors. She, overall, is devoted to truth and justice and the pursuit of intelligence. She is very hard-working and friendly, with an ambitious arm reaching for anything she can get her hands on. Bora is friendly and always tries to include everybody; she also retains a refreshing, liberal open mind that leads her to fighting for what she believes is right in the world. Plus, Bora is rather smart and studious, enjoying learning about the world and sees schooling as fun rather than a prison - though she hates homework and tests with a passion.

When it comes to herself, Bora is a rather private person and prefers to keep her thoughts unknown. She doesn’t like being an open book, it makes her feel rather exposed, and so she tends to keep her feelings to herself. However, Bora has no problem expressing her confidence. She understands she is pretty and is secure in her appearance and intelligence – she doesn’t take other people’s words to heart and though she will react negatively to insults, it won’t affect her in the long run. Overall, Bora is an optimistic girl that, in some ways exactly as how people think, but in others completely different.

P L A C E O F O R I G I N:

Las Vegas, Nevada.

F A M I L Y:

The Park Family is an influential family located in Nevada near Las Vegas. They made their fortune through inheritance as well as the family patriarch's successful conglomerate corporation. They live a semi-public life, showing up in the news every now and then considering that the matriarch is an influential socialite.

45||Jay Park – Father:

Jay Park is from the elite Park Clan that immigrated to America from South Korea in order to gain more prominence. Despite loving his kids very much, he is distant from them and tends to not give them the time of day because he is obsessed with leaving a legacy. Jay and his eldest son, Geun, have an estranged relationship due to Geun being a bastard. Jay Park might also have a bit of an anger problem.

41||Ji-yeon Park – Mother:

Ji-yeon was born in South Korea and lived their mainly. She was a very ambitious young woman who, despite not coming from a wealthy family, understood the workings of the upper class due to her experience as a maid. When Jay married her, it caused a stir in the family because she had been his maid at the time and it caused a scandal. For a long time, she was not accepted in the family. However, the extended family acts nice to her face and in public because of her upstanding reputation amongst socialites.

23||Geun Park – Eldest Brother:

Geun is the first son of Jay Park, but not Ji-yeon. He was born from an affair and in order to hide it, Ji-yeon accepted him as her own and raised him. Many of his grandparents insult him behind his back and his father avoids him because he is a deep reminder of his mistake. However, Ji-yeon, who may not be his biological mother but has always been his surrogate one, has always been by his side, cheering him on and even threatening to leave his father in order to protect him. He had plans to go to culinary school, however he has been meeting obstacles in the form of his father who does not want him to pursue such a career, instead wishing him to go to college for business.

H I S T O R Y:

Bora grew up in a rich, traditionally conservative household in Nevada near Las Vegas. Growing up, Bora never really received a lot of physical attention from her family, but instead was showered with material items when she felt lonely. As such, Bora always felt like she was being ignored. Her older brother, on the other hand, never really had that problem. He was the bastard child of their shared father and a random affair with another woman. Because of his lineage, Bora’s parents often showed most of their attention to him – negative and positive. Their father, who was ashamed of his affair, was often very critical of Geun and spent most of his free time (which was already few and far between) lecturing Geun and ensuring that he followed an impressive path. Bora’s birth mother spent most of her time doting on Geun in order to make him feel a part of the family, despite the fact that he was not hers by birth – unwittingly making Bora feel like an outsider in her own family. Due to this upbringing, Bora relied too heavily on material items and less on other people.

Bora never had any friends, probably a few acquaintances, but never any close friends. She spent most of her time by herself or by having ambitious social climbing teenagers follow her around while she was shopping. Either way, Bora was a bit of an outcast because of her shallow personality and was often the brunt of everyone’s gossiping. In high school it was especially bad. While she was never outright bullied, it wasn’t rare to find horrible messages of her sharpied in the bathrooms or hear snippets of gossips through social media. Bora tried to remain solid and unwavering, but there were always bad days where she refused to go to school and lay in bed with her silks and technology and money – her parents still didn’t care though.

At that time in high school, in such a terrible and insecure point in her life, Bora had seen that boy’s affection as a blessing and a gift. Though she acted cold to him, he still came after her and it only took a week or two before Bora decided to enter a relationship with him. It was her senior year, after all, and she had no experience with boys – she thought it was about time. In the beginning, he was sweet to her and bought her flowers and chocolate and Bora felt like she was in heaven (though it irked her that the flowers were handpicked from someone else’s garden and the chocolate was Hershey’s). However, after a month or so, the boy became manipulative and emotionally abusive. Throughout the relationship, Bora’s insecurities became worse as the guy played on them. He was very possessive of her and always kept track of where she was going and if she even glanced at a male waiter, he’d become irrationally jealous. Though Bora was scared and depressed, she thought that he was the best she would get because of her insecurities and stayed with him. She was even bullied into sleeping with him.

When the school year was over, he dumped Bora easily and left without care, not worrying about the damages he caused. Maybe in a bid to escape seeing him at the university they both wanted to go to, Bora decided to go to a school in New York – away from him and her family so she could have time by herself. The first year of college spent in New York was in the dorms of the University while working towards a degree in Fashion Design and Marketing. However, she decided to move out of the dorms after her freshman year and instead moved into a certain apartment complex.

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.
