Special Talent: Although she never really put too much faith in herself or got a high level of praise, Liz is a great cook- especially when it comes to noodles. She herself doesn't know why in particular, but hey, whatever works..
Profession: Unemployed at the moment
Bio: Liz grew up in Madrid, Iowa, a small town in the Midwest with a high school football team as the local pride. The daughter of a policeman and a librarian, she grew up looking up to her elder brother, who aspired to one day become the next Steve Jobs or Bill Gates. Liz didn't really know much about computers or business, but what she did pick up is that she wanted to see more than a sleepy, tiny town every morning. After graduating from a home economics class in a local community college, she moved out to Sol City to meet her brother- only to find that he had moved to Japan. With nowhere to stay, no job, and not much money, Liz is hoping to get her act straight soon.
Personality: Honest and straightforward, Liz prefers to do things neatly and clearly, without lies or complication, which she strongly dislikes. She is rather timid at first, but easily opens up to anyone who proves to be kind and trustworthy. She tends to be more of an introvert, although she is not afraid to speak her mind, when necessary.

Profession: Physical Therapist/personal trainer and part time Massage Therapist

Bio/Personality: Born to an African American/ Native American father and a mother from Barbados, Xia was originally born in the Virgin Islands where she spent the first 3 years there as a child. From the time she was born and through her life, Xia was quite a rambunctious one since childhood.

Usually in fights and in trouble, Xia was never afraid to stand up for herself. Going from fighting girl and then to guys who picked on her and then having a bit of a temper, she was a bit difficult to deal with. Her father was in the navy, mostly having to move around to different places her father was stationed. This allowed her to see different cultures such as Hawaii, Japan, and even Puerto Rico.

Despite her behavior problem as a younger child, she eventually got better with her attitude and began maturing a bit. She have big heart for people and very caring towards the children. To match her aggression, she took up sports, Capoeira, and MMA to channel that aggression into something positive.

When her father got injured from a car accident and the injuries caused him to not have a lot of mobility along with constant muscle pain, Xia wanted to take up physical therapy and massage therapy to try and help treat her father from his pain. Even with an outspoken nature, she is a sweetheart deep down.

She's had a few relationship problems through her teens. Most of her boyfriends cheated on her or just tried fighting her. She lost her virginity at 16 but then dumped a week later after being used by him. Since then, she's had many more relationship issues and at one time, dated female.

With all that she's been through, he mother noticed all the stress she's had living at home trying to help her father, dealing with relationships, and just being unhappy in general where she was living. As a suggestion, her mother offered that she should move away and start brand new and that's where Sol City came to play.

It have not been long since Xia moved to Sol City, maybe a month or more now and she is currently still getting used to such a lively city. No friends yet but she keeps herself busy while looking to find new work in her profession so to make the money she'd like. She have no idea what's to come but she will make the best of it.

HEIGHT | 163cm or 5'4" WEIGHT | 58 kg or 127 lbs

APPEARANCE |



She has a slender frame-- quite attractively proportioned with a smooth, shapely figure and flattering, but not overbearing, “endowments”.

Her skin is pale milky white and literred with a few beauty spots and moles around her right eye, as well as several others on her body. She has long healthy hair-- almost raven-- that's all one length and falls to her waist, straight but oftentimes with a mind of its own. Sky blue eyes are framed by dark expressive brows. Full lips peak into a delicate cupid’s bow.

When she smiles, her grin is wide and contagious and her teeth are straight, if not for her slightly more prominent canines; her father never had them fixed for her because he thought they had 'character'.

ZODIAC SIGN | Scorpio, but she doesn't really think about astrology very much.

FAVOURITE SONG |

Will go into a panicked frenzy if asked this question. For a brief moment she may look like she will explode with indecisiveness, but she won't hurt you-- it's just stress.

However, recently, she's been dancing/lip-syncing to "Brick + Mortar - Hollow Tune" and "Night Argent - Dreamcatcher" quite a bit.





TL;DR: Poppy moved to SOL city from Dublin and lives with her 15-year-old cousin, Liam, while working as a schoolteacher at a primary school. She's the kind of person you want to have as your friend, if you ever need to bury a body. On the other hand, she's the kind of person you don't want to piss off, unless you want to end up as the body that's being buried. Or in time-out.

Her father, Magnus, was Irish and met her British mother, Heather, in Dublin. Heather left Magnus shortly after Poppy was born, and he ended up having to raise his baby as a single father who hadn't the foggiest clue about anything concerning little girls. But Magnus made it his business to learn.

And oh, how much fun they had. It was difficult, sure, but nobody could be fonder of one another than the goofy dad and his adoring daughter-- they were best buds and essentially inseparable. Poppy was raised there, in Dublin, for the better part of her life-- 15 years (thus, she does have a slight lilting accent and it is recognisable as Irish).

Tragedy struck when Poppy was 14, and Magnus was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The loving father died within the year.

It was his decision that, should something happen to him, Poppy would move to SOL City, where his younger sister, her aunt Eleanor, lived, in the hopes that perhaps the woman could take care of her and also support her in the areas he felt he had neglected her over the years-- the areas that required the mother's touch he lacked.

As fate would have it, Poppy's aunt Eleanor had a child of her own-- a seven year old boy named Liam, who grew up as fatherless as Poppy did motherless, but whom the girl grew to love more than life itself. As she flowered into a young woman, the trio only became closer and closer, until… the cycle repeated itself.

One day, while Poppy was at college, Eleanor and Liam got into a car accident. Although Liam was badly hurt, he recovered slowly and surely, but his mother was dead before the paramedics ever came.

The 12-year-old boy was orphaned and, at the tender age of 22, Poppy was left alone to care and provide for them both. With the financial aid her father left for her and countless menial jobs to get by on, Poppy managed it, working everywhere from reception desks, to tattoo parlours, to coffee shops, and somehow still successfully completing her college studies.

It seemed being a nurturer and a caregiver was like second nature to her, but, even after becoming a schoolteacher, it was never a simple matter for Poppy to adopt the role of being her teenaged cousin's legal guardian when she was barely in her twenties. It was an easy decision, of course, no one else could take care of Liam and, regardless, she adored the boy so much that she wouldn't have it any other way, but as a result, Poppy never had much of a life of her own. Friendships outside of work were few, and her love life was even more stumped-- it wasn't like most guys her age were all for a serious relationship with a girl parenting a grown-kid of her own. She couldn't exactly blame them, of course, but that was her reality and she embraced it. Liam was anything but a burden-- she had never tried to replace Eleanor in his heart, instead acting as a guide and a sister, as opposed to a mother.

Even despite the curveballs life throws at her, though, and no matter how much her experiences have matured her, Poppy is still every bit the curious, witty dreamer she's always been. Full of life, it is impossible for her to hide how she feels about anything-- Poppy is an absolutely atrocious liar when it comes to her opinion-- and even when she tries to, her treacherous eyes give her away every time. Like everyone else, though, she can be kind of a wreck, only she's horrible at hiding that too. The woman is clumsy, anxious, swears like a pirate, and has a botched up verbal filter that usually ends up in her communicating the first sound that pops into her head, whether it be appropriate or not.

Ultimately, she's an absolute firecracker of passion, feeling everything to the max-- loyalty, glee, compassion, grief, fury... Inner balance is something she'd always struggled to achieve, but at least (if only to her own psychological detriment, perhaps) this gives her great intuition when it comes to empathising with people-- Poppy is the absolute boss of putting herself in other people's shoes. She tends to ramble when anxious, overthinks things to the point of disgust (and borderline paranoia, actually) but at the end of the day, it all makes it so that she is incredibly sensitive to the feelings of people around her.

… Until someone pisses her off, or acts like an inconsiderate dipshit. That's when the kind, day-dreaming schoolteacher turns into a volcano of boiling rage. Put simply, Poppy has very low tolerance for ignorant people.

ABOUT ME |

~My name is Flor and I'm 21. I come from a little island called Cyprus.~

How many years have I been roleplaying? Um, properly? Like with real writing? On-and-off 4-5 years. Since I was 17.

I work freelance and so I make a lot of my own hours-- I have the freedom to post quite frequently. On the other hand BECAUSE I work freelance, the amount of work I have fluctuates depending on my clients, and so there will be times when I am busier, and times when I am more relaxed. I'm going to commit to posting at least once every 2-3 days, if not more.

But yes. I am a freelance comic illustrator, simultaneously working to finish my degree in Classical Animation. I like singing-- a lot. I play the piano and hope to one day pick up the bass.

I live and breathe the music I listen to and the stories I create, both on my own and with other people, because they fill me inspiration for my drawings and films.

I think my favourite thing about role-playing is the chemistry and nuances of what connects the characters-- how natural they feel when responding to each other. There's also the great feeling of when someone hits you with a great twist and you have to go along with it, because life itself never asks you if you want any goddamn lemonade before it gives you lemons, and it sure as hell won't take them back after.

Name: Raechel Ann Corvin (Rae or Rae Ann)
Age: 22
Appearance: Rae
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 130lbs
Likes: Life, music, anywhere near water, and books (mostly fantasy novels but loves most any genre)
Dislikes: social media, hypocrisy, conflict, and stereotypers
Zodiac Sign: Leo
Special Talent: guitar and singing (though she will always argue the latter)
Profession: Caretaker at a petstore
Bio/Personality: Rae's family was abusive, not just 9ne person or two but most all of it. Her father died when she was young so she was raised by an addicts that made up her mother's side of the family. Not just drugs gripped these hearts but gambling, sex, drama, shopping, strife, anything you could be addicted to. Rae fought to graduate and keep hold of any sanity she could but years of pain left their marks and she mostly now just blocks out those around her while doing her best to cope. She is usually quiet with a soft smile and gentle voice but she has only her walls keeping in all that rage and pain.

At 16 there was a point when Rae found herself wishing for death. She stopped eating and started doing pointlessly reckless things. This went on for a little over a year before she was caught after a high speed pursuit without a license and buzzed with alcohol. A year in juvenile detention let her out on good behavior only for the judge's pity to her situation. Her mother never once appeared in court with her only child.

Raechel went home on the bus to find her mother had moved, left with no word to her. Instead of disappointment however Rae only felt a relieved sense of freedom. Now 4 years later she has emancipated herself, graduated high school, gotten her drivers license and of the past week rented a small apartment in Sol city far from her childhood home finding a job at a large chain petstore and decide to live life with everything she does.

Zodiac Sign: Leo
Special Talent: Helen writes as a hobby, and, as such, has quite a way with words; she can rhyme on a dime, and her puns can give imitators a run for their money.
Profession: Helen works as a nurse at Sol Memorial Medical Center.

Personality:
Helen is a very cheerful and friendly individual, and definitely a social butterfly. She's always making new friends, all of which she cares for deeply, just like a mother would. Whenever the situation calls for it, she's willing to lend a helping hand, a shoulder to lean on, and an ear to listen to the other person's woes. She absolutely, positively cannot stand any sort of negative behavior, be it bullying, bigotry, or just plain sadness. As a result, she's always the first to intervene whenever something goes awry.

During time off from work, Helen likes to write stories, get a drink at the local bar, or visit the arcade to get her gaming fill. She has an affinity for horror and sci-fi themed works, with her favorite film of all time being the very first Alien, all the way back in 1979.

Bio:
Helen was born in Montpellier, France, and is the oldest of two siblings. Her mother works as a nurse and her father is an artist. Her younger brother is an artist, like his father, and demanded a lot of attention when he was still a baby, which Helen and her mother were very happy to give. Growing up, Helen admired her mother's kind and caring demeanor and aspired to be just like her. As a result, once she turned 21, she decided to travel abroad as a nurse, eventually ending up in Sol City at the age of 26.

Aside from her cheerful and friendly mien, some people also remember Helen for her stories and poetry, often inspired by her favorite shows, movies, books, and video games. Her writing covers a variety of themes and topics, ranging from horror to adventure to survival to romance. She dreams of one day becoming a published author, and is currently working towards achieving that goal during her time in Sol City.

Age: 30

Height: 5’4”

Weight: 110

Likes: Being with her friends, Classic Rock, Sci-Fi, movies, “The Daily Show”, the music of Bruce Springsteen, Murder Mysteries, Sports, working out, and of course her job.

Zodiac Sign: Libra

Special Talent: Doing various voices and accents.

Profession: The 7PM-12AM DJ at 92.9 The Bull.

Bio:
Caroline was born to a working-class family in Pittsburgh, PA. Her dad (Nathan) was a construction worker and her mom (Kate) was an RN and grew up with 7 siblings (4 brothers and 3 sisters). Her love of Classic Rock was born at an early age because her parents listened to it constantly especially the music of Bruce Springsteen (they met at a Springsteen concert in 1977 on a blind date). While Caroline loved her family there was a drive for her to one day leave Pittsburgh and see what went on beyond the Steel City. This drive was further enhanced when her mom died of cancer during her 8th grade year. She realized that no one lived forever, and Caroline wanted to make the most of her life. However, with her family financial situation the chances of going to college were at best slim. While in High School Caroline tried out for the Cross-Country team and discovered that she had a real gift for long distance running. So much so that she was awarded a four-year scholarship to the University of Pittsburgh.

Caroline wasn’t sure what she wanted to do with her life when she at the University. She bounced around from a couple of majors, but nothing seemed to click for her. Until one night in the middle of her sophomore year life changed forever. Caroline was up late working on a history paper and was listening to the radio station on Campus. She loved the way that the DJ made her feel relaxed and helped her with his music choices push through a paper that was proving to be a problem, and she called to thank the DJ. He noted that she had a great sounding voice and he was impressed with her music knowledge and invited her down to the station. Caroline was blown away by what she saw, and Caroline impressed the program director with how at ease she was having a mic in front of her but how quickly she caught on to technical aspects of the job. Caroline was hired to be the late-night weekend DJ and very quickly developed an almost cult following. She adopted the name “Caroline Macmillan” because the name “Macmillan” was her mom’s maiden name, so it is her tribute to her mom.

Caroline’s time at the University of Pittsburgh was just about done and trying to find a job in radio was proving to be difficult. She still had the hope of leaving Pittsburgh, but no one was returning her calls. Caroline was looking at the prospect of working at an all jazz station or an all-news/talk station, but then two months before graduation her roommate came through for her. She had an Uncle who lived in the Northwest and was good friends with a radio station owner in Sol City. Her roommate sent Caroline’s air check to her Uncle who sent it onto the station owner. He heard it and knew he had a star in the making. The only reason he didn’t call her sooner was because he didn’t have an opening for her. A shift working overnight opened up and he flew Caroline out for an interview. Her charming and friendly personality quickly won over many of the station staff and the owner. He offered her the time slot and with that Caroline’s adventure to the Northwest was underway.

Her roommate’s Uncle let Caroline stay with them until she had enough money to afford her own place, and eventually she did move into her own place. Caroline has been living The Light Lane area for the last six years. She loves the small shops and the cozy atmosphere. Caroline’s career is moving along very nicely. She is the number five rated DJ in the market and more than a couple of stations have been trying to contact Caroline to hire her away.

Personality:
Caroline comes across as very outgoing and friendly which she is for the most part. She enjoys being the one in a group setting to make a joke and keeping things light and easy. Caroline is very smart, and she uses her intelligence in her sarcasm (which she uses frequently). She driven to do the best that she can but not at the expense of hurting others. Much like her astrology sign Caroline likes things balanced.

For all her outgoing aspects Caroline does enjoy times of just being still and quiet. She still misses her mom and her family more than she will admit.

Special Talent: Drawing, but she doesn't like to show it off.

Profession: Graphic Art Designer. Mostly creating logos and other marketing material for a variety of companies.

Bio/Personality: Josephine grew up with a mother who only loved her because she had to and a father she never truly knew. At the age of 4, her father died in a car accident and her mother was paid off handsomely through his life insurance. Josephine quickly became a status symbol, an object to show off to other well-off families with nothing better to do.

Around 6th grade, her mother's beloved "Josie" stopped caring about her mothers "needs". She no longer wanted to impress, to be the perfect child her mother envisioned. She trashed all of her frilly dresses and became more of a tomboy, preferring to play in the dirt over playing with barbies and tea sets. Her mothers affection was a gradual decline from then on, until Josephine was able to move out of the house on her own at the age of 17. She didn't care about her life of luxury, she had to leave that love-less house. By that time, the house had become a cesspool for her mothers toxic attitude. The life insurance money was beginning to run out, and her mother refused to stoop herself back into the workforce.

Josephine became something of a transient for a couple years, until she met Evan Reid. She was 21, he was 25. He immediately swept her off of her feet and they were smitten instantaneously. For two years he was a good boyfriend, but his alcohol usage eventually grew out of hand and from there on he became abusive. Mentally, verbally, and physically. Nonetheless, Josephine stayed. She endured his abuse for four more years, believing he could change. She could help him. He was good once, why not?

It didn't work. The last straw, finally, was when he stabbed her in the forearm in one of his drunken rages. She had finally woken up, realizing she was alone with no friends, family, and she had been living with a borderline psychopath. Angry with herself, Josephine packed up everything she had (not much) and moved to Sol without a word to anyone. She disappeared in the middle of the night, while Evan was blacked out on the couch.

Sol would be a new start for her. She was determined to make this a better life.
