“If you're going to kick authority in the teeth, you might as well use two feet.”
― Keith Richards, Keith Richards: In His Own Words


Name:
Ryan Anastasia Reid.


Age & Grade:
Senior // 18 // January 4th // Capricorn


Gender:
Female.


Sexuality:
"Titties." She's extremely gay. Lesbian. However you want to put it, Ryan likes women.


Label:
Trouble.


Occupation:
Ryan smuggles illegal items into the school when she can and flips them for profit. These things include drugs and alcohol. She isn't an arms dealer. Her prices are fair, but they aren’t cheap.


Appearance Details
Hair: Dark brown, almost black || Waist Length || Ponytails, braids, buns, free-falling.
Eyes: Baby blue.
Height: Short bean. She's 5 feet even.
Body Type: Hourglass.
Clothing Style: Uniform || Although every fiber of her being doesn't want to, Ryan complies with most of the school dress code. Most girls wear solid colored stockings, Ryan chooses fishnets. She often wears platform boots or heels. Multiple bracelets, rings, and necklaces decorate her body at any given time. Her skirts are often too short, but she manages to find her ways out of detention most of the time. 
Casual || 1, 2, 3. Ryan dresses in a comfortable alternative fashion, usually wearing jeans, boots, and some sort of crop top or sweater. Her closet is full of various shades of greens, and reds, though the vast majority of her collection is black and/or white.
Makeup Wise: Dark eyeshadows, lip colors, etc. Ryan usually sports a full, yet light face of makeup. While Ryan’s natural lashes are beautiful by themselves, she often wears falsies with her eyeliner. Her nails are always painted and styled in a stiletto shape.
Scars, Tattoos and/or Piercings:Ryan's most notable tattoos are as follows:  
The year ‘1987’ is tattooed across her stomach. Don’t ask her why. She doesn’t know.
Her left arm is a blackout sleeve with various flowers and butterflies drawn in.
On her upper right arm, there is a Sailor Moon tattoo. While Ryan isn’t an anime fan, she got this as a dedication peace to her best friend that passed away some years ago.
Across her knuckles, the words ‘open mind’ are written.
Ryans legs are covered in tattoos in a patchwork sort of style. On her right leg, there’s a large spider web around her knee. You can also find a tooth, another butterfly, flowers and a bat decorating her right leg. On the left, she sports a crow on her thigh, and a topless mermaid on the lower half.
Various scars of different shapes and sizes on her thighs from years of self harm. Some of them are old, some are new.
Ryan has multiple scars ranging in sizes and severity decorating her back. These are from all of the bottles her mother used to throw at her during fits of rage. Just like everyone else, she has small scars here and there from childhood shenanigans.


Personality
Charismatic - Flirtatious - Intelligent - Quick Witted - Life of the Party - Loyal - Thrill Seeking - Aggressive - Guarded - Possesive - Anxiety Riddled - Hopeless Romantic - Attention Seeking - Anarchist


Acceptance Status:
Student Deference Program: Ryan has been kicked out of a total of seven schools in her lifetime. Most of the reasons involved vandalism (mostly graffiti and setting things on fire), sleeping with the teachers, attendance issues, and being caught with alcohol in her water bottle.


History
Born in Crystal Springs Mississippi, Ryan was the only child thank gods Georgia Reid was ever lucky enough to give birth to. The result of a one night stand, the only reason Ryan wasn’t aborted was because of Georgia’s heavily religious family. Georgia was a heroine addict, and constantly put her infant child in the middle of her bullshit. Ryan lived with her mother until the age of three, when her grandmother Willow had finally gathered enough evidence to prove that Georgia was an unfit mother. When Willow received custody of Ryan, she was underweight, and went through months of withdrawal from where her mother had cooked drugs in the house with her. If it wasn’t for Willow, Ryan is 100% sure that she wouldn’t be alive today.
Willow still cared for her daughter Georgia, and never threw her out on the streets. Unfortunately this created a hectic home life for Ryan growing up, as Georgia brought drugs and men in and out of the house as often as she could. Willow herself was prone to drinking most nights, and wound up in explosive arguments with her daughter while Ryan watched on the side lines.
Ryans early school years were great. She was labelled as a gifted child, read well above her grade level, and excelled in mostly all areas. Once middle school rolled around, Ryan began landing herself in detention for various reasons. Some of it was fighting, most of it was her smart ass mouth. She was kicked out of her first school due to attendance issues. After getting in contact with her grandmother, forcing her into summer school, and doing virtually everything that they could for her her sixth grade year, Crystal Springs Middle School kicked her out three months into her seventh grade year. Once Ryan had began school, the same issues arose. She had no respect for authority, never turned in her homework, and only managed to turn in the class tests to keep her grades at a barely manageable D-. Ryan was kicked out of this school for setting her report card on fire and tossing it into the trash can in the girls restroom. The rest of her expulsions came in a rather quick succession from 7th-10th grade. Ryan spent the summer of her sophomore year in juvy on violent charges and destruction of property - for taking a baseball bat to her math teachers car and the teacher himself. Tired of being abused at home, Ryan was fed up with no one believing her that the teacher was a creep - despite multiple reports from other students. Despite claims of self defence, Ryan still caught the charge and did the time. After being released from juvy, Ryan started her junior year at a local highschool before being transferred to Edgebaston.
Ryan always has been the problem child - her mother was sure to make sure she knew that. Growing up, Georgia always found ways to make Ryan feel small - which resulted in her having such a large personality now. Georgia was sure to let Ryan know that she was the biggest inconvenience. When Ryan reached around ten years of age, her mother fought her on a few occasions when Ryan refused to give her money. It seemed that Georgia didn’t want to admit that she was asking a literal child. There were multiple times that Georgia made Ryan take money from Willow to give to her, and when Ryan refused when she got old enough to understand (around the age of twelve) Georgia became even more violent. When Ryan would try to get away from her mother, Georgia would throw whatever was in her hands at the time at her daughter. When she didn’t have anything to throw, she would hit Ryan with her fists. The men that Georgia brought home weren't much better. Physically, sexually, verbally or mentally abusive - they were pretty much all the same. Willow was never a saint, but at least she drove down to the school houses to bail Ryan out, was there for her when she had to spend nights in jail, and to give her a stern talking to. For the most part, Ryan raised herself. The only person that Ryan stayed in contact with from her mothers past was one of her boyfriends sons named Eli. His father was abusive and fell in love with Georgia for a brief period of time before her death. Ryan and Eli quickly became friends, and snuck out of the house to walk around town with each other when the nights at home got to be a little too much. Eli was the only light that Ryan has ever had in her life. The young man died when Ryan was 17, causing her to get a fake ID and her first ‘legal’ tattoo - her Sailor Moon piece.
Georgia died when Ryan was fourteen of an overdose. Upon her mothers death, Ryan was affected a bit more than she would like to admit. She started sneaking into her mothers drinking cabinet, sneaking moonshine - and she hasn't stopped drinking since. Self harm began around the same time, and while she’s dialled back a bit - she’s definitely not in recovery.
Once getting kicked out of her seventh school, Ryan was 15 years old. She began Edgebaston when she was 16 - a few months into her junior year - and was told this was her last and final chance to "get her shit straight." Ryan being Ryan, she's still caused some trouble here and there - though she has gotten smarter and chosen to do most of her crap off campus.


Extras:
Luggage:The basics. Her electronics. Her makeup bag. Will add more later.
Extracurricular Activities: Ryan was told that she had to do something to look like a productive member of school society, so she signed up for the debate team. She also fools around in the school's greenhouse.
The only thing she's allergic to is bullshit.
Has ‘required’ therapy sessions with the school counsellor twice a week.
Is a pescatarian, though is a sucker for a good burger on rare occasions. She'll also eat turkey, but only at Thanksgiving.
Is actually a very intelligent girl, but has no desire to apply herself to anything productive.
Plant mom AF.
Second year at the academy.
Carries around a black leather journal full of her deepest thoughts, spiciest fantasies, crappy poetry, and doodles.
Has no respect for anyone or anything's authority.
Is very handy in the kitchen.
Has a natural aptitude for science, with her main interest being in biology. Deep down she hopes to become a surgeon one day.
Is prone to PTSD flashbacks of her childhood. She doesn't talk about her past much at all.
Obsessed with Cherry Coke.
She's recently found a local cocaine dealer, and if anyone knows Ryan - this isn't a good thing.
Ryan is an artist - a painter, to be specific. She also works heavily with charcoal and recyclable pieces. Her graffiti can be found around campus and town - though no one knows it's her artwork but her. Ryan chooses to do street art more than anything, though finding times and locations are difficult around campus.
She can usually be seen carrying her skateboard around as well. Ryan’s preferred method of transportation is her skateboard.
Nothing is ever good enough for Ryan. An extremely ambitious girl, she knows exactly what she wants - but she’s never quite satisfied when she gets it.
Very volatile.
It’s a very rare thing for Ryan to be sober.

Acceptance Status:
She tells everyone she got in on an academic scholarship 

Melicia is part of the Student Deference Program

History
Melicia would tell you that she is the second and youngest daughter of an accountant, Xavier Gibbs, and his wife, Maya Gibbs, who works in marketing for a large fashion company. Funnily enough, Melicia doesn't seem to wear any of their clothing, she claims it's simply not her style so she didn’t pack any.

Her parents were present but very busy in their jobs so they taught Melicia and her older sister, Attica, how to cook at care for themselves for those busy evening. Still, they were a right knit family. They weren't super rich but they were very much comfortable. 

Melicia notes that her father sparked her love of studying. Although he was an accountant he held many degrees just for the sake of learning. He encouraged Melicia's thirst for knowledge and helped her deepen it. Her sister, however, took more after her mother, getting into the arts. Attica eventually decided to be a body piercer and tattoo artist. Melicia happily let every body modification she wanted be done by her sister in the name of practice. Her mother was not impressed when she found put about the tattoos so the pair mainly stuck to piercings. Attica moved to LA a couple of years ago to pursue her craft.

Earlier in the year, Melicia found Edgebaston while looking for schools that would offer her more academically. She applied for a scholarship and was notified that she was a recipient a few months before the start of the year. Eagerly, she awaited her next adventure.

Those are the words she'll feed you... and hope you don't question it

Melicia is indeed a daughter of Xavier and Maya Gibbs, in fact she is the only child of Xavier and Maya Gibbs. She's been told they once had upstanding jobs, even a few months after her birth. Melicia doesn't know what they did, nor does she care. What she did know is sometime very early in Melicia's life, long before her memories begin, they figured out they made a lot more by producing and supplying illicit substances to the many dealers of Raleigh's streets. The pair flung into a duality of a busy 'business' life and the high life of luxury and partying. They cut off their family and their old friends and left Melicia to partially raise herself

In a cry for help Melicia resorted to lashing out. At first it was temper tantrums whenever they'd leave the house or return to their 'study'. One time she knocked over one of their pieces of equipment, that made her parents real mad and she got severely punished for that one. Despite this they still didn't invest in her. Melicia then took to the streets. She founds a 'gang' of sorts of other tweens and young teens in similar situations. Initially they started with graffitiing walls then graffiti turned to vandalism then became petty theft. When Melicia was 15 she finally got caught breaking into and joyriding a police vehicle. During her trial a lot of her previous crimes were aired and Melicia was given 3 year imprisonment with the chance to spend 2 of those years with parole. 

In her first month or so of juvie she fit right into the scene. She'd join the occasional brawl, helped collect bits and pieces to make makeshift tattoo guns and got a couple of tattoos herself. Over her first couple of months Melicia had way too much time alone with her thoughts, way too much time question what she was doing with her life and way too much time to recognise the path she was headed may not be the best. With encouragement and assistance from the juvy's psychiatrist and her case worker she worked to change herself. Now with hole left from no longer having the adrenaline rush of the fighting and thought of her next petty crimes she was encouraged to pursue education.

Initially Melicia was well below the curve, she rarely went to classes after she started middle school but even before then she was an average student at best but she found herself finding intrigue in science, math and literature and wondered if she actually went to school after those years she may have discovered that intrigue earlier. Melicia would say she was lucky there was a good teacher at the detention centre but more accurately very few inmates cared about their education so even in a room full of students she was getting near specialized attention. With very little else to do Melicia committed herself to studying. She started her journey sitting at best at a 6th grade level and it took a lot of work but with very little to do except study Melicia was able to to sit at her sophomore grade level after a year of throwing herself into the books.

Unbeknownst to Melicia at the time but her case had opened up a child protection case against her parents. On investigation they were found to be unfit parents and custody of Melicia was to be given to the state after release. They were also busted for the manufacturing and distribution of illicit substances and given 25 years imprisonment.
 
Approximately 15 months after being incarcerated Melicia was approved to spend the rest of her sentence in the outside world with parole. The state were initially unsure what to do with Melicia but her case worker advocated for her to be put into the student deference program at Edgebaston, citing that her progress would be hindered with the education at most of the residential schools kids in her position are sent to. It was approved and the state ordered her release for her first day of school at Edgebaston.

Extras:

Luggage: Clothes + toiletries, her phone, a couple of books
Extracurricular Activities: Debate club, she also frequents study groups a lot
Ethnicity: Melicia's father is African-American and her mother is Caucasian
Melicia's piercing holes were all done with sewing needles either by herself or her friends before she was incarcerated. A couple closed up in prison leaving little marks
Melicia doesn't really know what she enjoys doing if she's asked, with her one activity taken away from her all she has really had is reading and studying, perhaps that's why she invests so much time in it
Both her tattoos were done in prison using makeshift tattoo guns out of pens and CD players.
She 'has to call her parents' 4pm every Wednesday, they are inflexible about that date or time That's her appointment time with her parole officer

Asuka Aki.


Age & Grade:
Senior 18


Gender:
Female, was born Male


Sexuality:
Demisexual


Label:
Geek, Crafter, dancer


Occupation:
works at the computer Lab after classes.


Appearance Details
Hair: Black with light purple highlights
Eyes:Teal
Height:5' 9" 
Body Type:Average
Clothing Style:

So She'd have the standard girls uniform and tie, though the tie would be more lose fitting. and on days where it's not to hot she'd also be wearing tights to coordinate with the uniform, and a has a few different shoe styles. Also it's quite common for her to have hair ties or a hair band in the school colors. and since she can't put the pins on her uniform, she's got a lanyard for that she'll sometimes wear that is full of pins with various anime and video game characters and logo's on it, the pins to change every so often but one that's always on there is one of a calico cat with pastel pink and blue spots as it has special meaning to her.

When not in uniform She's usually in a dress or skirt set. and colorful cutesy patterns, or even Sweet or strawberry Lolita style, or if she's more lazy it'll be some anime or video game shirt with a long skirt.
The closest you'll ever see her in pants, would be when she wears leggings and she has a bunch with cutesy designs on them. but they don't get near as much use.

Makeup Wise:She doesn't often wear it, but more because she hasn't had a chance to learn it, she trying to fix that
Scars, Tattoos and/or Piercings: She has her ears Pierced


Personality
Happy, a bit goofy, Creative, Technophile.
when she starts cracking bad jokes and puns you know she likes you as that means she's comfortable enough to start being silly.
She's more of an introvert, so while she does like meeting new people, being in social situations can be draining on her unless she's really comfortable with everyone she's with.
has more of a Glass is half Full mentality, tries to find the good, or at least give benefit of the doubt.
is almost always up for playing video games, or watching anime, will often be up to going out places.
Not a big fan of going to the beach as she always felt out of place, hasn't tried it since she transitioned so if a friend asks she'll go but she won't bring it up on her own.
She is Friendly and is trying to be outgoing though how much depends on how comfortable she is in the group and area. And being in a room of people she's never talked to before does make her nervous. That said she loves to meet new people and hang out with those she does know.
if she's talking or debating about something is really interested in she can talk for hours.
Enjoys helping people out, when she can
is usaly working on several side projects.


Acceptance Status: 
How did your student find/arrive at Edgebaston? Are the part of the student deference program, can they afford tuition, or did they get a scholarship?

She got Scholarships, and sees arriving here as a chance to make a fresh start of things.

History
Is a Transfer student, when they qualified for the scholarship it enabled a lot of changes, this school being one of them, her gender and wardrobe being other big ones. although she'd only admit to the first unless she trusted you.

he was Born in Minnesota and lived there all though elementary school and 6th grade, before he moved south to Florida, and lived there up until he came here. Was Bulled a lot at elementary school, and a little at Jr high so is a bit reserved. Played a lot of video games, having a preference for base builder type games, and some rpg games. In high school she got into crafting wanting to build things from the games or movies he's playing so has been working on the skills needed to make the attempt. Also got in to anime when she stumbled across some old shows when looking for something to watch and enjoyed the plot and character depth those shows had, and so has collected other animes that also scratch that itch. Between the bullying and his introverted nature he only had a small group of friends and spend more time studying and working on hobby projects. He's bounced between the Merrit and the Honor rolls doing great in the math and science type classes and not so great in the English and gym ones. He's also gotten good at finding ways to get out of gym class at his old school. there was this time where the class would be going out to a hockey rink, what he'd do is go to the library just after his last class and get into a debate about some current topic he knew the librarian was into and get them so into the discussion that it would last well past when the class left, and then get a pass because it wasn't his fault and then get sent back to the library, and the next day do it again. he got good at researching news topics because it always seemed to work and he enjoyed the debates way more then gym class. It also meant more time away from the bullies as that's where they where the worst. He also loved to collect cute things and kept his stuffed animal collection and has even added to it as some of then wore out from over use.  Hates Jeans with a passion they always felt like sandpaper until they got broke in and even then i wasn't the best he did sneekly try his sisters clothes a few times and was amazed by how much nicer they where, also he always thought the female characters in the games, or the shows he watched always looked nicer, and was upset when he couldn't get those same outfits for himself, he never learned how to swim as he hated the fact all he got was a pair of shorts after seeing all the shows about them coming off he's way to worried that will happen. he did once get a hello kitty set because he liked how it looked so much and a friend gave it to them, but then he was teased about being to girly in school and had to get rid of it.  He tried to remain upbeat and still found things he could enjoy with what friends he did have, but it made it super hard for him to socialize outside his friend group.
his parents where fairly strict about how he should remain a boy so he didn't have much Choice in the matter while he was at home.

he wasn't originally going to come here but when was encouraged to look into scholarships for college, he ran across one from Guilford Green Foundation, and it turns out they also had a high school program as well. What really got his attention is that it wasn't just a pay for school and board but also the resources he needed to make the changes he wanted so badly. So he put a ton of effort into getting the scholarship and when he got it he was finally able to make the change, and going to an out of state boarding School means that she will be able to get a fresh start away from the bullies and anyone else that would try to hold her back.


Extras:
Luggage:What did your character bring with them to Edgebaston?
She brought, her computer, her Switch, a collection of stuffed animals, and a mix of Kpop and Anime posters for her room.
Extracurricular Activities: Is your character a part of any after school programs, sports, or clubs?
  Dance club, Gaming club, and Archery club
anything else such as what classes they are good at, their hobbies and interests, allergies, etc.
Algebra and Science classes are the ones she's the best at.  English is hit and miss, She's good at coming up with stories or with arguing a point but actually writing it down with all the grammar and other rules that seem to only apply to these English courses is where she fails hard. She's pretty good at Home Ech too, least when it comes to the practical parts.  Though Gym is probably her worst class for a number of reasons.

A few pointers:

Quite a few of the guides like Character Name / Image header etc are still on the sheet. Probably best to get rid of them. 

What text colour does your character use? There is no hexcode next to the FC and the sheet itself has a smorgasbord of colours.

For gender: Female, Now? Care to elaborate on that slightly? It has me confusion. 

There is quite a few points in the sheet where it jumps from She to They, which is somewhat confusing to read. 

The history is far too short. As a DM I don't do those 'Don't talk about my past' histories. You can have it so that characters don't know by default, but it has to be on the sheet. Two sentences is not going to cut it I am afraid.

Heterosexual


Label:
Queen Bee


Occupation:
Unemployed. Who needs a job when you have daddy's credit card?

Eyes: Light brown
Height: 5'10"
Body Type: Slim
Clothing Style:
Uniform || Persephone wears her uniform well kept and opts for a tie. She pairs it with closed-toe heels and a cream blazer she got the school's logo embroidered in pastel pink. She pairs her uniform with silver rings on most fingers and bracelets on both her wrists, one being a charm bracelet that jangles as she moves. She has necklaces she rotates, all silver with precious jewels, some in intricate designs. She tends to wear big hoop earrings.
Day to day || Persephone obviously dresses for fashion over function. She wears almost exclusively dresses and skirts, pairing them with tights and a cashmere sweater on colder days. Most of her clothing is in gentler colours such as pinks, purples and baby blues.
Makeup Wise: Persephone never leaves her dorm without a full face of makeup, including a multistep skin routine before applying it. She tends to go with somewhat gentler looks with light pink blush and lipstick and coloured eyeshadow that coordinates with her outfit

History
Persephone is the younger of the LaRue twins. Much like her brother, she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and handed everything on a silver platter by Alistar Bastion LaRue II himself. Being her father's little girl and brother's younger sister (even if only by mere minutes), Persephone is used to being protected and praised. She very quickly learnt how to have someone wrapped around her finger and how to play them for what she wants.

Knowing she would always have enough money to live off and that she'd receive shares in some of her father's companies, Persephone never aspirated toward a career. Despite this her father insists that she get a good education and in Freshman year sent her to Edgebaston alongside her brother. She quickly used her charms and control to climb the social ladder to be the queen bee she's known to be today. The only classes she's organically passing are textiles and home ec but that's nothing a good threat and a few grand can't fix


Extras:

Luggage: Designer clothes, shoes and bags; sewing machine; laptop; TV; Massive collection of makeup and perfumes; a vanity
Extracurricular Activities: Fashion club- she coordinates a lot of the shows, cheerleading squad
Allergies and intolerances: Is lactose intolerant
Is know to try (and sometime succeed) to steal dating men in the school from their girlfriends, part of her just loves the thrill and validation of taking something someone that she shouldn't more than man himself

Oliver James Grundy

Ollie | "Lazy Hero"



((Faceclaim: Jeremy Sumpter // Color Code: f7941d))
"A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men." - Roald Dahl


Name:
Oliver James Grundy


Age & Grade:
17 years old. October 18th, Libra
Junior


Gender:
Male. He/Him


Sexuality:
Hetero, maybe a little bi-curious


Label:
Nerd/Gamer


Occupation:
Busboy at a local restaurant


Appearance Details
Hair: Wavy, brown, short cut.
Eyes: Blue
Height: 5'8
Body Type: Slim, scrawny, decently muscled legs
Clothing Style: In uniform, Oliver wears his tie loosely and doesn't tuck in his shirt unless scolded. He then untucks it at the next convenience. He wears grey converse high tops. He does make sure to keep it clean and undamaged though, he wouldn't want his family to foot the bill for extra uniforms. Outside of his uniform, he likes to wear hoodies and graphic tees, usually with anime or video game characters on them. He likes loose fitting jeans, but not too baggy, and wears the same converse he wears while in uniform.
Makeup Wise: None
Scars, Tattoos and/or Piercings: None


Personality
Oliver's personality type is ENFP. He enjoys anime and video games immensely. He is a pretty smart kid, but only really applies himself to things he's interested in. He can come off as lazy, preferring video games and the internet over homework, and even has trouble getting homework done. His true talent lies in computer science. He has knowledge about programming and hardware, and enjoys doing both. He likes to think he's funny, but he can often say things at the wrong time, making him a bit awkward. He is a caring guy though and tries to make people happy, and be on good terms with everyone. He also loves biking, and it's his main mode of transportation. He is protective of any friends he has, and enjoys being around others. He is also empathic, being effected pretty heavily by other peoples moods and always does his best to empathize. He has a tendency to be goofy, and not take things (other than if someone's upset) seriously. He likes to mess around and values fun, family/friends, and free time, over most things.


Acceptance Status:
He was accepted on a computer science scholarship


History
Oliver was born in Greensboro, North Carolina. He's the second of 4 kids, and succumbs to middle child syndrome. His parents are about as average as you could get. They both have steady jobs that make ends meet. His father, John, has a factory job, and his mother runs a daycare. His older brother is named Simon, and his two younger sisters, who are identical twins, are named Chloe and Rebecca. He did well in elementary school, but in middle school began having issues turning in assignments. He'd still ace all of his tests and projects, so he got through with C's and D's. In high school he took every computer class he could. He excels in computer classes because it's something that he's actually interested in. Outside of classwork, he likes to post on forums and play the occasional MMORPG, where he uses the handle "Lazy Hero". 

Oliver ended up getting a scholarship to Edgebaston in computer sciences during his freshman year, and attended Edgebaston the year prior as a sophomore. His parents were proud to send him to such a nice academy, and he was happy they were. He has set up to have the same job he had had near the end of the previous year.


Extras:
Luggage:Nintendo Switch, a 32 inch tv, a playstation 4, a laptop, a suitcase filled with anime, a bag of several trading card decks and table top games, his bike, and his necessities such as clothes and hygiene items.
Extracurricular Activities: He's in the gaming club and computer club
Can be especially awkward around people he is crushing on or attracted to
Bikes almost everywhere
Allergic to bees so is jumpy around them
He's decent at literature and history classes, since he usually finds the stories cool

Mother's money


History
The only daughter to world-renowned Cardiothoracic surgeron Marabeth Arison, she grew up knowing her mother never really wanted her. She has never met her father. Sabrina was raised with nothing but the best of everything. Her mother had worked hard to build a solid reputation for herself and made sure Sabrina always knew how fortunate she was to have a mother to dote on her. They would always attend the best fashion shows, country clubs, and lived the life that only money could offer.

At a young age Sabrina's mother met the Larue family and quickly became associated with them. She made sure her daughter grew up with the children and is always at the family's beck and call if any medical emergencies ever presented themselves. Wanting to be seen as the best, Sabrina has always been pushed to remain at Persephone's side. That resulted in Sabrina always being part of the girl's entourage, no matter where they went. Her every thought and action has always been wrapped around Persephone's finger.


Extras:
Luggage:Designer clothes, heels, handbags. Tons of vintage jewelry.
Extracurricular Activities: Helps run the fashion club with Persephone

Acceptance Status:
Claims that he got a chemistry scholarship, but is actually a part of the deference program.


History
Kevin's mother, Ms. Wu, was a beautiful woman, and she knew it. Like a butterfly, she danced between men in the high society of Hong Kong, ones she could gain favors from. She never prostituted herself, of course. Selling oneself for a set price was below her. It all ended when she fell in love with a certain married man and intentionally bore his child. Her true love couldn't and wouldn't ruin his marriage, being a political one in nature, and she knew that as well. So, she picked one of her other suitors, also well-to-do and powerful, to settle with. Of course, she lied about the father of her child.

The man, Kevin's non-biological father, thought what they had was true love, but he grew suspicious after a hospital visit when Kevin was 3 years old. Upon DNA testing, the cat was out of the bag. Within a year, the divorce proceedings went through, and the mother and son were exiled to America. Kevin was also stripped of the man's last name and now bore his mother's.

The man was generous enough to leave the two of them a decent sum, but Ms. Wu was used to the high life, and it wasn't long before their fund ran low. Ms. Wu obviously resorted back to her old ways, but she was growing old and had a child. She eventually had to become the very prostitute she once looked down upon.

Kevin grew up watching different men come and go in their home. He was taught by Ms. Wu how to use beauty and sexuality as a weapon. He was taught the importance of money and power, which he could only obtain through other people. He was also taught how to endure pain, mental and physical, as she took out all her anger and frustrations on him. Not to mention, the particularly depraved would ask him to take part in Ms. Wu's work as well. Of course, Ms. Wu was all about appearances if nothing else, so her customers weren't allowed to go all the way with Kevin and marks were left only in areas unseen by outsiders. The most useful skill she taught him was how to hide and deceive. 

Living in such an oppressive environment, Kevin had considered seeking help, but Ms. Wu had scared and guilted him into never taking action. It was only after her death when he was 14, that he was finally freed. Well, "freed" would not be the right word, since her teachings had already been etched into his very being.

Social services had let him finish middle school where he was (he wasn't very affected by Ms. Wu's death), but when it came to high school, they wanted to relocate him. Their plan was originally planned to put him in another school. Once Kevin overheard about Edgebaston, where a lot of rich kids were attending, though, he worked the charm that Ms. Wu had trained and landed himself where he wanted.

At Edgebaston, he fabricated a whole new backstory and personality, hoping to get into the "right crowd" and maybe attract the attention of one or two rich boys. His sexuality stemmed from his loathing of Ms. Wu -- despite not hating all women, he would feel nauseated thinking about them in a sexual manner.

He managed to get himself a job at the sketchy gay bar the summer before high school started, to finance his fabricated lifestyle. He was only a waiter for the first 2 years, but becoming a performer meant more hourly pay and the chance of getting requested for "outings". So, this summer, he trained under a current performer, and was now a drag stripper.


Extras:

Luggage:
The basics
Secret duffle bag: hair nets, tights/stockings, various tapes, heavy-duty makeup, NSFW toys and accessories (his drag clothes, heels, and wigs are provided by and stored at the gay club)
A gem necklace that was Ms. Wu's most treasured possession, presumably a gift from his birth father
Extracurricular Activities: Science club, debate club
Was a light-weight, but got used to drinking with working at the club, and gradually built up his tolerance

History
Growing up in a poor community of Los Angelas California, Marabeth always had to fight for attention and to get whatever she wanted. Her single mother, Gweneth, always taught her that no matter what happens to them, somebody else always had it worse. Seeing her mother's positive attitude in any situation taught Marabeth that there is always a silver lining to every cloud. 

As she got older, she grew an affinity towards technology. She learned how to hack her mother's bank and soon they were rolling in money. Marabeth loved the feeling of easy money, but always held a bit of guilt of taking from others. So, any time she hacked a company, she would make an anonymous donation, usually to animal shelters. When she was fourteen she was busted for the first time. She was sent to Juvy and given a light sentence. That didn't stop her hacking days. After three more busts her mother decided the best idea would be to send her to a boarding school where she could be watched. So, she ended up at Edgebaston her sophmore year. She has been here ever since.

Name:
Noah Park

Age & Grade:
Junior // 17

Gender:
Female

Sexuality:
Bisexual

Label:
Athlete undercover painter

Occupation:
Server at a diner, on the running team

Appearance Details
Hair:  Dark brown, often in a ponytail
Eyes: Darkbrown
Height: 5.4
Body Type: Athletic
Clothing Style: Uniform with bow tie & black shoes. When not in uniform, comfy tracksuits with blazers and jackets, and running shoes. Going out? Comfy jeans, blouses with prints.
Makeup Wise: Soft make up, pink/red lip stain, brown definition around the eyes, mascara.
Scars, Tattoos and/or Piercings:  Two anti-helix and a helix in her left ear

Personality
Noah is according to her, straightforward, doesn't beat around the bush. Others would maybe describe her as rude, but she means well. She's not the best at expressing emotions, but expresses affection in other ways, mainly by taking care, and small acts of service. If she doesn't cuss you out, she doesn't love you. She has a tendency to keep busy, always, wether it be working, running, training or doing her studies to keep her scholarship. The only time she gets her head empty and relaxes is when she paints.

Acceptance Status:
Athlete Scholarship

History
Noah is mediocre. Average, middle class and never really stood out at anything. Her parents couldn't have any more children after her, so Noah got sufficient attention from her mother, in both the good ways and the bad. Still, she couldn't complain. When her father's company went bankrupt, things changed. He garnered a hyperfocus on young Noah, who until then, liked running for fun. Her father convinced her she was destined for greater things. Unable to find a job due to some.. questionable decisions with his company, his hyper-focus on Noah kept him busy. At first, Noah liked the attention from her father, who before that, was always busy working. But then, it began to take more extreme shapes. Signing her up to a team, signing her up for competitions, and waking her up to run. He changed her diet, pushed her to be good. Noah ran for fun, but it became running from her problems. Still, she didn't want to let her father down. She liked the winning, she liked being good at something. Besides, running was healthy. Noah was also a mediocre middle schooler, and when her father caught word of a scholarship to send Noah to a prestige school, he bit onto that dream like it was his lifebuoy. At the moment Noah found her true passion, painting, it was too late, and she didn't want to let her father down. 

Getting that scholarship made her father proud. So proud he threw a party. Noah finally felt some relief, hoping that she could talk to him about her other passions. Especially when moving into the housing at the school, she thought things might go better and she would be able to pursue other interests at well. 

But that was foolish thinking because still asks for her times, and her food regimen, and texts her detailed workout plans.

And all Noah wants to do is paint.

While she's on a scholarship, her family's financial status has dropped since the company issue, and Noah works quite some shifts at the diner with her best friend, who also works there.

Extras:
Luggage: A MacBook, ereader, earbuds and headphones. A funky analogue alarm clock. Her iPhone. a Switch console. A couple of pairs of running shoes. Assortment of yoga pants, sweatpants, and tracksuits. Her clothes. Athletic tape. A set of expensive paintbrushes Noah saved up for. A sweater stolen from her friend Erik.

“She was proof that broken things can still be beautiful.”
― R.H.


Name:
Daphne Laurelle Valmont


Age & Grade:
Junior, Age 17. Born July 28th at 11:31am.


Gender:
Female // She, her.


Sexuality:
Heterosexual, for the most part


Label:
The It Girl


Occupation:
Are you kidding? The Valmont family has enough money to ensure that Daphne never works a day in her life.


Appearance Details
Hair: Dark Brown | Mid-length | Often styled in soft, carefully-placed waves.
Eyes: Light blue with specks of hazel green.
Height: Five feet, seven inches.
Body Type: Slender, hourglass shape.
Clothing Style: 
Uniform || Daphne's uniform is always impeccably pristine and perfectly pressed. She takes great care in ensuring that her tie is neatly placed and her blouse is perfectly tucked in. Her plaid skirt is deliberately situated just below her mid-thigh, showing just enough skin to draw attention without being too provocative and landing her in the principal's office. Daphne's attention to detail extends to her choice of stockings, preferring white or nude with delicate lace detailing that adds a touch of elegance to her ensemble. In terms of footwear, she opts for designer closed-toe pumps - Louboutins or Prada, if being specific. To complete her look, Daphne wears dainty jewelry - usually, a diamond bracelet and earrings to match.
Casual || Daphne's casual style can be described as chic, tailored, and feminine. Her wardrobe is designer-heavy, featuring luxury items from Birkin bags to La Perla lingerie. While she doesn't stick to one look, it's safe to assume that she'll wear a dress or skirt paired with a blazer- you would rarely catch her in jeans or sweatpants, however.
Makeup Wise: She prefers to keep a natural, dewy look for day-to-day affairs; rose tinted lips, sheer foundation, subtle highlighter, neutral eyeshadow, and false lashes. However, she prefers stronger make-up looks on night outs or special occasions, such as galas and nightclubs.
Scars, Tattoos and/or Piercings: Single ear piercings on each lobe.


Personality
Daphne is a bittersweet and complex entity. From her perfectly manicured nails to her prim posture, there's no denying the magnitude of wealth this beauty holds. Opulence is not only found in her outfits, but in her entire lifestyle. Never could she be spotted with a strand of hair out of place or a chipped nail, unless she's in the middle of a great party. One would expect her to be able to steer clear of trouble, given her privileged background and refined appearance, but looks can be deceiving. Beneath that polished exterior lies a girl with a hatred for boredom and an inability to resist temptation. Daphne is a notorious socialite who is known for her party girl antics. She’s effortlessly confident, impulsive, and charming - simultaneously unpredictable and captivating to the public eye. Usually the one instigating fun (or drama), there’s never a dull moment around her.

As a result of her affluent upbringing, she can come across as superficial and entitled, an elitist to be more precise, but don't mistake her for a rich fool, her mind is as sharp as her looks. Even if not excelling academically, she is particularly observant of her environment and she is able to notice subtle changes in social situations. If she has something to say, she will say it without blinking, regardless as to whom she hurts. When it comes to her inner circle, Daphne is fiercely protective and will do whatever it takes to ensure their success and happiness, even if her methods are questionable at times.


Acceptance Status:
Parents paid for her place in Edgebaston Academy.


History
From the moment Daphne Valmont enters a room, her elegance and grace are palpable. It's impossible to ignore the aura of luxury that surrounds her. Born and raised in Manhattan, New York to a blue-blooded family with wealth dating back centuries ago - she is practically considered American royalty. William Valmont - business magnate, real estate tycoon, and father to Daphne - is most widely known as the owner and CEO of Valmont hotel and resort enterprise that extend around the globe. Whereas Lena Valmont, his beloved wife, is a Spanish-born heiress and celebrity chef - owning a chain of Michelin-star restaurants.   

Doted on hand and foot, there's nothing that Daphne could ever be in want of, nothing that she could ever desire that wouldn't be hers the moment she told her parents she wanted it. However, she often found that the "flawless" world she lived in was actually immensely flawed. Regardless of what their lives were behind the cameras, the Valmonts were expected to portray the perfect family in the public eye, whether it be in philanthropic auctions, movie premieres, or business galas. 

At age thirteen, she found her father in the Egyptian Cotton adorned California King Bed with his personal assistant. Daphne felt obliged to tell her mother, who immediately wanted to file for divorce. Her father, however, knew exactly what strings to pull and her mother emerged the following evening wearing glistening Harry Winston jewelry around her creamy neck and a boarding pass  with Daphne's name in her manicured hand. Her father found it was best if Daphne wasn't around as he pursued relations with his assistant. Thus began her forced enrollment at Edgebaston Academy. The transfer was devastating for Daphne, who had to leave behind the Big Apple for a small rural town in the middle of nowhere. 

Her mother wasn't a saint, either. She was equally disengaged from her daughter's life, more interested in her own pursuits than in nurturing a relationship with her child. She spent most of her time jetting off to exotic locales on private jets or lounging on their luxurious yachts. Whenever she did spend time with her daughter, she would push her into becoming the fakest, most "perfect" version of herself. She would serve less food on days where she looked “a little flabby”, and even personally coordinated a plastic surgery consultation for her “Dumbo ears”. Because of her mother's erratic behavior, Daphne's quest for having the perfect appearance was cemented into her mindset, even if her actions didn't quite match her pristine exterior. Her obsession with her image extended to social media, where she unapologetically posts at least once a day and obsesses over the smallest details in her content. 

As the years passed, Daphne became accustomed to life in North Carolina. She has become notorious for being the quintessential socialite and has hosted a multitude of academy events (plus underground parties) for students at Edgebaston Academy.

Couture-oriented, if fashion were a talent, she’d definitely be a professional. She also sketches her own designs and sews elaborate gowns. She hopes to see her own fashion line at the MET gala one day.
In contrast to her celebrity chef mother, her cooking skills are subpar at best. However, she does enjoy baking pastries and sweet treats. Her crowd-favorites include hazelnut chocolate chip cookies, raspberry lemonade cupcakes, coconut macaroons, and whiskey-infused cinnamon rolls. If requested, she can add special ingredients as well.
Hosted the memorable "Kiss and Tell Party" where a selected list of students in attendance had to kiss someone by midnight. In addition, she hosted the infamous "Risqué Soirée", where rich students arrived in their most intimate apparel for a night of chaos and debauchery. She is a sucker for theme or some sort of twist in her parties.
Enjoys photography (yes, even if it's not pictures of herself for social media posts). She likes to capture moments in a frame, and even has her own journal dedicated to recollecting her pictures.
Classically trained in the harp - her father used to make her play for guests during her childhood.
Regularly frequents the Edgebaston Country Club to play tennis or have brunch with her friends.
Daphne would never admit it, but she did have cosmetic surgery on her ears, nose, and chin.
Speaks Portuguese and Spanish - thanks to her mother's side of the family.
Annoying habits include: subtly rolling her eyes, playing “Devil’s Advocate”, and trying to dress up her friends.

Appearance Details
Hair: Black with light purple highlights
Eyes:Teal
Height:5' 9" 
Body Type:Average
Clothing Style:

So She'd have the standard girls uniform and tie, though the tie would be more lose fitting. and on days where it's not to hot she'd also be wearing tights to coordinate with the uniform, and a has a few different shoe styles. Also it's quite common for her to have hair ties or a hair band in the school colors. and since she can't put the pins on her uniform, she's got a lanyard for that she'll sometimes wear that is full of pins with various anime and video game characters and logo's on it, the pins to change every so often but one that's always on there is one of a calico cat with pastel pink and blue spots as it has special meaning to her.

When not in uniform She's usually in a dress or skirt set. and colorful cutesy patterns, or even Sweet or strawberry Lolita style, or if she's more lazy it'll be some anime or video game shirt with a long skirt.
The closest you'll ever see her in pants, would be when she wears leggings and she has a bunch with cutesy designs on them. but they don't get near as much use.

Makeup Wise:She doesn't often wear it, but more because she hasn't had a chance to learn it, she trying to fix that
Scars, Tattoos and/or Piercings: She has her ears Pierced


Personality
Happy, a bit goofy, Creative, Technophile.
when she starts cracking bad jokes and puns you know she likes you as that means she's comfortable enough to start being silly.
She's more of an introvert, so while she does like meeting new people, being in social situations can be draining on her unless she's really comfortable with everyone she's with.
has more of a Glass is half Full mentality, tries to find the good, or at least give benefit of the doubt.
is almost always up for playing video games, or watching anime, will often be up to going out places.
Not a big fan of going to the beach as she always felt out of place, hasn't tried it since she transitioned so if a friend asks she'll go but she won't bring it up on her own.
She is Friendly and is trying to be outgoing though how much depends on how comfortable she is in the group and area. And being in a room of people she's never talked to before does make her nervous. That said she loves to meet new people and hang out with those she does know.
if she's talking or debating about something is really interested in she can talk for hours.
Enjoys helping people out, when she can
is usaly working on several side projects.


Acceptance Status: 
How did your student find/arrive at Edgebaston? Are the part of the student deference program, can they afford tuition, or did they get a scholarship?

She got Scholarships, and sees arriving here as a chance to make a fresh start of things.

History
Is a Transfer student, when they qualified for the scholarship it enabled a lot of changes, this school being one of them, her gender and wardrobe being other big ones. although she'd only admit to the first unless she trusted you.

he was Born in Minnesota and lived there all though elementary school and 6th grade, before he moved south to Florida, and lived there up until he came here. Was Bulled a lot at elementary school, and a little at Jr high so is a bit reserved. Played a lot of video games, having a preference for base builder type games, and some rpg games. In high school she got into crafting wanting to build things from the games or movies he's playing so has been working on the skills needed to make the attempt. Also got in to anime when she stumbled across some old shows when looking for something to watch and enjoyed the plot and character depth those shows had, and so has collected other animes that also scratch that itch. Between the bullying and his introverted nature he only had a small group of friends and spend more time studying and working on hobby projects. He's bounced between the Merrit and the Honor rolls doing great in the math and science type classes and not so great in the English and gym ones. He's also gotten good at finding ways to get out of gym class at his old school. there was this time where the class would be going out to a hockey rink, what he'd do is go to the library just after his last class and get into a debate about some current topic he knew the librarian was into and get them so into the discussion that it would last well past when the class left, and then get a pass because it wasn't his fault and then get sent back to the library, and the next day do it again. he got good at researching news topics because it always seemed to work and he enjoyed the debates way more then gym class. It also meant more time away from the bullies as that's where they where the worst. He also loved to collect cute things and kept his stuffed animal collection and has even added to it as some of then wore out from over use.  Hates Jeans with a passion they always felt like sandpaper until they got broke in and even then i wasn't the best he did sneekly try his sisters clothes a few times and was amazed by how much nicer they where, also he always thought the female characters in the games, or the shows he watched always looked nicer, and was upset when he couldn't get those same outfits for himself, he never learned how to swim as he hated the fact all he got was a pair of shorts after seeing all the shows about them coming off he's way to worried that will happen. he did once get a hello kitty set because he liked how it looked so much and a friend gave it to them, but then he was teased about being to girly in school and had to get rid of it.  He tried to remain upbeat and still found things he could enjoy with what friends he did have, but it made it super hard for him to socialize outside his friend group.
his parents where fairly strict about how he should remain a boy so he didn't have much Choice in the matter while he was at home.

he wasn't originally going to come here but when was encouraged to look into scholarships for college, he ran across one from Guilford Green Foundation, and it turns out they also had a high school program as well. What really got his attention is that it wasn't just a pay for school and board but also the resources he needed to make the changes he wanted so badly. So he put a ton of effort into getting the scholarship and when he got it he was finally able to make the change, and going to an out of state boarding School means that she will be able to get a fresh start away from the bullies and anyone else that would try to hold her back.


Extras:
Luggage:What did your character bring with them to Edgebaston?
She brought, her Gaming Laptop, her Switch, a collection of stuffed animals, and a mix of Kpop and Anime posters for her room.
Extracurricular Activities: Is your character a part of any after school programs, sports, or clubs?
  Dance club, Gaming club, and Archery club
anything else such as what classes they are good at, their hobbies and interests, allergies, etc.
Algebra and Science classes are the ones she's the best at.  English is hit and miss, She's good at coming up with stories or with arguing a point but actually writing it down with all the grammar and other rules that seem to only apply to these English courses is where she fails hard. She's pretty good at Home Ech too, least when it comes to the practical parts.  Though Gym is probably her worst class for a number of reasons.
