What? You want a character now? Okay fine.

Markus Roe [+]

Year at Camp : #1

Sex : Male

Camper or Counselor? : Camper

Age (15-19 for campers, 20-26 for counselors): 16

Appearance :

Markus [+]

Items (Special things your character brought to camp) (optional) : A large bag of chocolates, and various other sweets. A book full of sudoku and picross puzzles. A black binder with tabs for a variety of subjects and lots of paper. Various pencils, from 2h to 6B.

Personality (optional) : Markus Roe is a guy who loves to have fun, in his own ways. He enjoys laying about, reading and doing various problems in his head or with his hands. He considers himself pretty lucky as well. Markus tends to be pretty open to social contact, initiating most conversations or group events.

Short History (optional) : Markus was born to a moderately rich family, where he learnt the various jobs and tasks required to take on his father's business. Taking an interest in academics much to his father's delight, He found a love for knowledge. In earlier years he went to a smaller less open summer camp called camp shady brook. Sadly, the old camp was boring for a 15 year old, and asking his father to change summer camps wasn't too much of a difficulty.

That's Nico finished I think!

I'm working on my characters now.

Here are my characters... but Jesus Christ there's a lot of girls here. lol

Thought I'd balance it out.

Justin Liào [+]

---

---

---

---

Name:

Justin Liào (His Chinese name would be Jianjun Liào)

Year at Camp:

Year 1

Sex :

Male

Camper or Counselor:

Camper

Age:

17

Appearance:

Justin has a cool, confident, presence around him. Despite not being the most intimidating person around, Justin still has the look of a warrior in his eyes. Being raised in such a family tends to do that for you. He stands a little taller than what you'd expect an Asian male to stand at almost five-ten. He would be shorter, but his maternal family is tall (Like freakishly, his late grandmother was six-two). That makes Justin stand out compared to other asian males. Though, he doesn't exactly have a super high body mass, at least compared to westerners.

He carries himself with an assload of confidence. Keeping his hands in his pockets as he takes large steps. Usually being the loud, life of the party. Though, he doesn't speak with an Asian accent, since he's essentially American by all definitions except ethnicity. Only accent he has is a "big-city" accent riff with slang, and attitude. You can say that Justin is very energetic, however.

Justin is pretty thin, thanks to a lightning fast metabolism, and the fact that he does a bit of work. His mother didn't want a lazy slob of a son that sits around playing videogames, so she made sure that Justin went outside. Justin does martial arts, but he did more skating than anything. He has a bit of a muscle-layer developing because he's been working on getting rather buff. His legs are very strong from running, but his arms are getting there. He's also been working on some abs.

Items:

■ A Skateboard.
■ Several packs of cigarettes.
■ An iPod.
■ His cellphone.
■ A Switchblade.

Personality:

In terms of personality, Justin is often seen as the splitting image of his mother (Observed by close and personal friends). Strong, confident, good natured, snarky, and above all else passionate. Justin is very kind, and energetic, usually having a very confident smile on his face at all times (It really unnerves people!). Justin's intelligence is often brought under question because he's, at times, very short sighted, and doesn't think things through. The problem roots in the fact that actions come better to Justin than thought, so he has a habit of jumping the gun. The other problem is that Justin is blunt about his feelings, and generally acts on them, even if they are bad ideas. So that goes without saying.

However, Justin at times displays surprising moments of intelligence, and situational awareness like no other. So he's far from dumb. He's very philosophical due to many deep conversations with his grandmother, and has managed to incorporate her experience and line of thought into his own. Though, even though he is open about his emotions, one thing troubles him; his attraction to males. You see, Justin is a closeted homosexual because he fears what his family would think of him.

Short History:

It's a long story I'll try to summarize: Justin's mother, Meifeng Zhao, moved to America from China because of her mother's dissatisfaction with China. They spent quite a while in America (Where she had many adventures of her own) before Meifeng met another Chinese immigrant that she eventually fell in love with and married. Meifeng soon got pregnant, and gave birth to twins; Justin and Katie Liao. Justin was rather energetic, and a very active young man. His mother decided to take advantage of that, and sign him up for Muai Thai lessons much like she took when she was younger. This helped Justin build confidence at a young age, and definitely helped him build social skills to this day. A friend of his helped him get into the skater scene.

But, he hung out with the less than ideal crowd that lead him to be making some rather, say, idiotic decisions. Getting into fights, smoking, and vandalism. His mother was getting pissed off about it, but the last straw came when Justin talked back to his grandmother. Which made her go to desperate measures:

She sent him to Camp Wachata.

And Justin had to be dragged there kicking and screaming.

Jaden Elijah Othello [+]

---

---

---

---

Name:

Jaden Elijah Othello

Year at Camp:

Year 1

Sex :

Male

Camper or Counselor:

Camper

Age:

18

Appearance:

Quite gruff at first glance, Jaden, despite his rather short height, has a serious case of resting bitch face. His face is always an unamused scowl as he moves about life. He isn't the type that talks a lot either, he tends to keep his mouth shut unless he has something to say. Because Jaden is a man that's incredibly driven, and is hard to distract. That shows in his demeanor. That isn't to say that Jaden is unemotional, he sure has one hell of a smile, and a devilish laugh. But he tends to stay generally focused on the task at hand, rather than fool around. He takes small steps, and keeps his hands in his pockets.

Jaden is African-American (Primarily Nigerian, and Angolan, but he has a little bit of Afro-Caribbean in there), fairly well-built from working out, and playing sports. He has the build of an NBA player, or one in training, with firm legs, and rather well-built arms from shooting hoops (and lifting weights). Though, Jaden definitely isn't the tallest for a basketball player. He is around five-six... which is literally an inch taller than the female average. He is ridiculed by some for his short stature, but he can feel glad that there are some people out there even shorter than him. Some day he'll surround himself with short friends.

Items:

■ Jaden's drawing tools.
■ Spray Paint.
■ His Cellphone.

Personality:

Jaden is the kind of reserved individual that doesn't really talk unless he has something to say, or a snarky comment. He's generally the type of person that keeps quiet... but don't take his silence for any kind of shyness, or social awkwardness. He's just fine in social situations, just that he doesn't talk a lot. At that, he's generally quick to the point, and doesn't waste time. Jaden is fairly composed, and level-headed, thus, it's rare to see him act rashly. Though, it's very easy to get on Jaden's nerves, and that causes him to lash out a bit. Jaden is the kind of person that wants to be blunt, but holds his tongue for the sake of taking people's feelings into account. He's only blunt when the situation calls for it. Jaden is a realist to his core, and would rather see the world for what it is, and pretending it's something that it's really not. Despite his crassness, and rather grumpy attitude at times, Jaden is ultimately a good natured person that wants to be remembered, and deeply cares about the people around them. He really does want to see them succeed, and he wants to help them, but he wants to do it in his own, realistic way, rather than pretending to be a superpower.

Short History:

Jaden, like most, had two loving parents... well, not quite. Jaden's father, Wesley Othello, loved him quite a bit, and only wanted the best for him. However, Jaden's father seemed to have a strange complex where he wanted to live out his glory days through his son. You see, Wesley was an NBA player waaay back in the day for the Lakers, before he suffered a severe back injury while playing and had to put up the towel.

Jaden, on the other hand, had little interest in sport, and instead, was born with an imagination like no other. He had a love of media such as movies, comic books, and animations, and wanted to make his own. Instead of sports, Jaden would rather spend time drawing, and writing stories that he would perfect through his ages. His father didn't like that, he wanted Jaden to succeed where he failed, whether he wanted to or not. Jaden declined, but his father was always a bit of a control freak. He practically forced Jaden to give up his arts, and sent him to Basketball camp, and whatever Basketball team he could.

No matter how hard his father tried, he couldn't make Jaden give up his passion and innate-talent for art. It just became something that had to be kept a secret. The plus side to this is that Jaden had many friends that helped him develop proper social skills... though, it was always held back by his disdain of his father. He lashed out at the world because he can't lash out at his father. And he did that through some good old civil disobedience! Vandalism in the form of spray painting shit. It was the greatest form of modern artistic expression!

Rather than just punish Jaden, his mother decided to send him to Camp Wachata to give him a change of pace.

Zoey Casey Gray [+]

---

---

---

---

Name:

Zoey Casey Gray

Year at Camp:

Year 3

Sex :

Female

Camper or Counselor:

Camper

Age:

19

Appearance:

Zoey perfectly fits the "punk girl" mold. She died her hair, has plenty of tattoos, and just has that attitude that just reeks rebellion. Older folks are quick to judge a book by the cover and immediately classify her as a problem-child just off her looks alone. Other youths are more receptive to her. Zoey carries herself with an air of confidence, but rather than just being a screaming wreck as people assume her, she is actually fairly chill and laid back. Taking slow and steady steps with her hands in her pocket, a cigarette hanging from her lips, and generally relaxed demeanor. Though, that demeanor can switch at the blink of an eye when things get a little out of control. She can either become screaming rage, or scared as a deer.

Though, she's also a little rough, that might just be because she's a bit of a tomboy. Zoey grew up around boys, and appears to be a little rugged, slightly masculine. It shows a lot in her attitude and demeanor. She smokes, she’s loud, and she drinks. She tends to attract attention with her tom-boyish streak. Her voice is a little rough from cigarette smoking, and she has a few scars and old wounds from previous injuries.

Now, onto her appearance, Zoey is pretty pronounced due to a mixture of her hair, and her height. Her hair is dyed a cyan-blue color, and it’s kept in a rounded bowl-cut. She usually keeps her hair underneath her beanie, where it’s somehow more noticeable. Zoey’s hair is a straight texture that is kept clean - but is a bit damaged from all the hair-dye, and a few mess-ups. The other thing that makes Zoey stand-out is her height. People like to call her a Goddamn Amazon because she’s six feet tall. Because of her height, people loved to shaft her into sports teams. It wasn’t anything that she enjoyed, but it kept her in shape.

She’s bony as hell, being skinny and without any sizable amount of body fat or muscle. She has like a thin layer of muscle if you squint, but there isn’t much there. A lot of her exercise comes from hauling ass from people she pissed off, because she spends plenty of time lounging around. She certainly does have a little sex appeal. Her bust is a 34C, and her hips are slightly prominent. She doesn't pack a lot in the ass area, though. Her body is a rough-square build rather than the famed hour-glass build.

Zoey is mixed-race, actually. While she looks fully Caucasian, she is Scottish, French, and half-Brazilian. She is more directly descended from the Portuguese settlers, but she has a bit of African through her veins. Her skin is a little pale because she spends a little bit of time indoors. It can't be clear, because Zoey has a few tattoos, and various scars.

Items:

■ Weed.
■ Her laptop.
■ Her iPod.
■ A pack of cigarettes.

Personality:

While she may look like a punk, Zoey is more of a free-spirit than anything. She would rather goof off than study. She likes to see herself as fun personified, as she always loves to light up a situation. Normally, Zoey is pretty relaxed, and somewhat brooding, until she gets around her friends and turns into a total goofball. While good grades don't drive Zoey, there are plenty of other things that will ignite the fire of determination in her. Give her a goal, and you bet your ass that she'll see it through to the end. That is her dreamer, determinator lifestyle, and there ain't anyone that can convince her otherwise. It's childish, but it's what helps Zoey get up in the morning. Though, I have to say that she is stubborn as hell, it's impossible to convince her to stop - especially when she's driven. Zoey is snarky, quip-witted, and loves to talk to people and explore new things. Zoey is willing to try, well, anything. She is willing to try the same gender as much as the opposite, just because she loves to explore and find new things about herself.

Short History:

Zoey was born as the oldest child of a pair of girls. The daughter of two illustrious scientists. A native of a small town, Zoey grew up watching TV shows and movies... and always wanting a little bit more. Zoey felt like home doesn't have what she wants, or needs, and never will. Which is why Zoey always aimed to leave, but was always swatted down. Once she was of age she turned into a sports-playing tomboy the moment she reached sports maturity.

She was raised following dreams, and had a love of different brands of music. Zoey played around with instruments, but they weren't her thing (they hurt the shit out of her fingers). But, she was drawn to electronic music... and eventually, she figured out how to make music, and it became her obsession. Her grades plummeted as she aspired to become a techno artist. She dropped a few hot LPs on Soundcloud, but barely gathered an online audience. However, she finds her true audience by preforming at parties.

Once Zoey matured, her father wasn't very receptive of Zoey slacking. She graduated highschool by the skin of her teeth, but she was kicked out of her house when she refused to get a job. Zoey had to stay with a friend... and get a job. She got a job as a barista at the local Cafe, but she still indulges in her childhood fantasies, and parties a lot.

Just wanted to give you a headsup, though. There's quite a few campers (and some counselors) that smoke, but it's considered to be a tobacco free campus. Most people sneak away to smoke, and a lot of counselors and staff will get will get worked up if they saw a camper smoking. (However, it seems like Zoey would do that on purpose. :P)

<Snipped quote by Sightles>

I missed that when skimming the sheets. lol

But, I think I won't change that, since it does tie into their respective characters.

Got a post up!

<Snipped quote by Orange Juice>

Awesome! I'm going to let a few other people get their posts up before I post with Shayne responding to Nico. Hope that's okay. :)

@Sightles Do new counselors need to be interviewed by anyone? how does introduction process work for them?

@Sightles Is it cool if I write that Shayne starts walking with Nico towards the cabin? Just so it makes more sense for Nico to begin talking while walking haha.

Time to get started on my own post. After I shift through the current posts and decide where to stick my characters.

Geez, up to 13 posts here already!? Talk about breakneck speed! XD

Hello again, @Sightles, just looking things over here as part of my scouting things out.
