Mazdak ‘Maz’ Dresden

Unsure and planning on keeping it that way.

Single and staying that way.

Maz has yet to come into his full height and stands only at around five and half feet tall. He normally doesn’t do his hair these days as his baby blue helmet would mess it up on the way to most places. His helmet often hangs from his tan messenger bag that he takes where ever he goes. For the most part he likes to dress in brighter colors and really only dresses in black when forced to. The majority of his clothing is t-shirts, jeans and whatever the teen finds comfortable.

Loud. Sarcastic. Self-Deprecating. Irreverent. Quick Witted.

Maz is always the first person to laugh at his own jokes and really doesn’t care if anyone else thinks he’s funny. He’ll make jokes at pretty much anyone’s expense be it someone else or his own. Even if it’s something hurtful he can’t seem to stop himself from opening his mouth. That said, he’s quick to apologize if he hurts someone’s feelings and is generally just looking to have a good time. This is true even when he should really be taking things seriously, which he probably won’t do.

Father – Alexander Dresden- Deceased/Locksmith
Mother – Nasrin Avesta - Lawyer

He lives in a very nice house with way too many rooms, five, for just two people. The home has been tastefully decorated by his mother, excluding his room which has been transplanted from his old home. Technically he owns his father’s old home in a less nice part of town. This house is much smaller, but actually looks lived in. Maz still spends time there now and than.

Does a Blue Vespa GTS 300 Super ABS count? If not he has his father’s 87 Buick Grand National and a license, but his mother won’t let him drive it.

Nasrin didn’t want to be a mother. Her romance with Alexander had been a whirlwind of passion, but she had some serious doubts after she got pregnant. She tried to stick it out, though. The couple got married and did their best to raise Maz, or at least Alexander did. Once the boy turned two years old Nasrin was positive that she had enough. The couple still loved each other, but Nasrin wanted to give the boy up. Alexander refused, even though he wasn’t too sure about how to be a good father, and would not put the boy up for adoption. They got divorced, with Alexander getting the boy and child support, and went off to live separate lives in the city of Arrowsmith.

Alexander was right about not knowing how to be a great father, but he gave it his all. For the next decade his son grew into someone he would happily call his best friend. Maz was a bit too independent from an early age and often took in equal share of the responsibilities around their home. This was why he got an instruction permit at 14 and a restricted minor’s permit after that. It was so that he could pick up groceries and even drive himself to school if his father happened to be hungover. It wasn’t a constant thing, but Alexander was happy to have the option. Life was good, even after Maz found out that Alexander and Nasrin where seeing each other again. Alexander had a policy of being as open with his son as possible so he never hid the reason for his divorce from his son. However, before the pair could seriously discuss getting married again Alexander dropped dead one day at work from a stroke. It had been a freak occurrence, but a lethal one nonetheless. The man had left everything to Maz with Nasrin as the executor of his will and once more mother to her son.

The moped was a gift from his mother to pacify him after she made it clear that she would not allow him to drive until he was eligible for a proper license.

Jessica “Jess” Janet Grossman

Who the fuck needs ‘em?

Jess is an imposing person; she’s 5’11, with a lithe frame that has modelling agencies just begging the Grossman family to get Jess into the industry. She dresses to the part of spoiled New York City rich girl on a rebellious streak. Her outfits very often get her in trouble with dress codes at school, but her father’s a smart and rich enough lawyer to pressure the school with accusations of sexism and let Jess dress how she wants.

Independent, Confident, Irresponsible, Sexual

Jess’ personality benefits from a very loose leash maintained by her parents; they are of the mindset that Jess is fully capable of exploring who she is as a person by herself. Their job is to keep her out of legal trouble and teach her how not to get herself killed.

As you can imagine, giving a young girl a lot of money and a lot of room to operate doesn’t exactly make her a model citizen. Jess is already a smoker, both cigarettes and marijuana, and she’s more than willing to explore everything for the sake of “understanding more about herself.” The world is a playground, and Jess has the keys to it.

It’s a mystery whether Jess sees other people as people at this point, or just tools for her enjoyment. She doesn’t really have a lot of respect for anyone besides herself, though she knows where the line between plain rudeness and complete bigotry is. Jess doesn’t pretend to know what it’s like to be on the wrong side of a power dynamic, since her confidence and family wealth almost always give Jess the upper hand.

She’s wary of people that are drawn to her, largely because she knows her reputation often precedes her, and most people just want her for a quick fuck. That’s not how she operates, but most people don’t seem to get that. As such, Jess doesn’t really have any real friends, but most people know who she is.

Mother - Erica Grossman - Stay-at-home Mom
Father - Ben Grossman - Lawyer
Older brother (age 23) - Eric Grossman

The family opted to move back into Eric Grossman’s childhood home, a medium-sized three-bedroom in Creekview Residential. For three people, it’s quite spacious, but the Grossman family has more money than it knows what to do with. The house is decorated as such, so while it blends into the neighborhood on the outside, anyone that walks into the Grossman home knows immediately that this family has money.

Nothing yet, but Mom’s already looking at getting her a BMW 328i when she turns 16.

This isn’t the first summer before freshman year Jess has had; just a year ago, Jess was living in the Hamptons in New York City, preparing to start her real first year of high school. Of course, when you get caught sending pictures of yourself to an older man over the internet and having phone sex with him, that can derail those high school plans pretty significantly.

She’s spent the larger part of the last year sitting in a room with lawyers working out a lawsuit settlement between her parents and the man she had been talking to. Jess skipped that year of high school, and when her family realized that there was absolutely no way to escape the media attention that came with Jess’ case, they relocated to her father’s hometown of Arrowsmith, South Dakota.

Not that this was the first sexual incident Jess has been involved in; by her count, she’s made out with enough people to fill a bus, and she’s fucked at least seven of them. Call her a slut, call her a rebel, Jess doesn’t quite give a shit; she likes the feeling of empowerment that sex gives her. Moving to South Dakota hasn’t been the most thrilling time of her life, but she’ll make it work. The only question her parents have for her is if Jess can avoid another incident.

Anything else you wanna say.
