RYAN LOCKHART

18|SENIOR|THE HEART

"Love is a ghost I fear to touch, but I am surrounded and suffocating in its cruelty."

ADDITIONALLY

Ryan comes from a rich family who pretty well disowns her, and they pay her to stay away from the house.

She is a very reserved person, and she really only opened up to James, who kept her secrets from everyone.

She fell in love with James because he became a light in her darkness. They shared a sort of secret relationship, but after a while it became not so secret, though they did deny it.

Always saw Hailey as a sister.

Has a younger brother who she never sees.

JOSHUA BROWN

18|SENIOR|THE BRAIN

"I cling to logic because it makes sense, so why am I suddenly feeling so much pain?"

ADDITIONALLY

Joshua is an only child, coming from a set of divorced parents and lives with his father.

Isn't normally emotional, because he never really had friends before the group.

Used to get picked on for being scrawny, but filled out the summer between the freshmen and sophomore yers of high school.

Can graduate early if he wants.

Hailey Wilson

18|Senior|The Mystery

“Self-pity becomes your oxygen. But you learned to breathe it without a gasp. So, nobody even notices you're hurting.”

Additionally

Though her parents didn't really want children and they were twins. Hailey always felt despite the fact they loved her, they preferred James over her.

Many people think Hailey is shy because she is quiet. Though in fact she is just introverted, she prefers to either be with her close friends or by herself, mostly herself.

Has had a crush on Joshua for years but knows he is far too smart to like someone like her.

At first didn't like Ryan, but she quickly grew to see her as a sister, and best friend. Because of this she had mixed feelings about the idea of Ryan and James being together at first.

Blake Miller

18|Senior|The Rock

“If you try to get rid of fear and anger without knowing their meaning, they will grow stronger and return.”

Additionally

Blake’s father left him when he was eight, he learned to be tough to protect his mother and his little brother.

He would often drop plans with his family to go hang out with the group.

He has a problem keeping his thoughts to himself, and is often in fights because of it.

Blake was offered a spot on the football team in freshmen year, however his mother was to worried he would get hurt and wouldn't let him play.

Beautiful lovely. =)

Why thank you =) your characters are quite lovely as well. I really like that I can't pick a favorite just by their info because their both equally interesting.

Aww. Thank you, I will get us started shortly. However first...

Should we have had it be a pre existing condition that he died from or a car crash, and should it be at the funeral, or when they are all finding out.

Also, if we went with the medical condition, should it be at the hospital just before he dies?

Hmm well I think it should be a pre-existing condition in my mind, that maybe he never told anyone about. It could have been his own dark secret that he was sick. For that matter James parents might have even kept it from Hailey as well? Yeah I think that before he dies in the hospital would be a pretty good place to start because I figure that the whole group would come to the hospital to see him.

Alright. Got it. I will get us started tomorrow probably because I have to figure a few things out.

Alrighty sounds good can't wait. I'll try to be on tomorrow. My mom is staying the night to be here in the morning for mothers day. =) That's why I just lately replied here.

It's fine, I understand if you can't be on.

If by any choice I don't get on during the day, I will be on at night time after she leaves for sure.

Still, I understand, so its no big deL.

Finished up the post. Hope you like it.

Oh gosh how did I miss that?! Going to read right now =)

Its okau, kinda glad you didn't catch it before I added Joshua in. =) But yay.

By the way, that was such an awesome intro!! I'm gonna try to post tomorrow!

Thank you, and that's fine. =)

I'm thinking about finding a picture reference for James... do you have any particular ideas in mind as to who I should use?

Edit: How is this?

I hadn't really thought of how he would look, though I'd figure that he had brown hair like Hailey

The picture isn't working dear :/

God damnit... gah! I shall find a new piccy.

Edit: Does this one?

Yeah that one worked, he looks perfect for James! And he looks like he could be Hailey's twin. I'm working on my post right now by the way :)
