History

Born to 2 actors Eric has been born and raised surrounded by fame and fortune, some predict that is why he has such a childish nature. He 'lived' in Manhatten, New York, but often travelled with his parents for their films, often becoming an extra in them also. Despite his flamboyant, extroverted personality it was obvious from a young age Eric would never be an actor.

Growing up Eric was a mischievous young boy, he would often get in trouble. In high school particularly Eric was more set on making his peers laugh than doing well in school. In result he continually failed and continually didn't care. After an opportunity can for him to guest host a show 'by teens for teens' he was found to do well and offered job after job.

In his early 20s he was known, among his fame, to have a string of lovers but he got over that in his late twenties. He now remains partner-less and childless but enjoys his live to the full

Questioning

Appearance

Kaiden is a small kid, only a little taller than 4 feet. He doesn't weigh nearly enough for his already small height, giving him a frail appearance. Aside from his small, delicate frame, he has quite large light brown eyes that stand out in stark contrast to the rest of his narrow, fragile features: His small, upturned nose, his thin pale mouth, his slightly pronounced cheekbones.
He has long, thin fingers, perfect for precise movement. His hands are almost spiderlike in appearance.
Because of his mental state, he often dresses haphazardly, not buttoning his shirts up correctly or having his shoes on the wrong feet. He tends to prefer to dress a bit warmer than the weather demands, and almost always wears gloves.

---

Inner Workings Of The Mind

Personality

First off, Kaiden is nonverbal. Though he's technically capable of speech, he never talks and prefers to use sign language or writing when he has to communicate.
Kaiden is clingy and quickly becomes uncomfortable around strangers. Crowds and intense social situations really seem to bother him. He doesn't seem to get lonely, and is often perfectly content to just spend a whole day locked up in his room. He doesn't take care of himself very well and relies entirely on others for support.
He's extremely jumpy and easily gets startled. He's often anxious and very difficult to calm down once frightened. He's also very easily frustrated and often gives up on projects without completing them.

Strengths

• Great artist
• Fast and good with his hands
• Generally a clever kid, though he doesn't do well academically.

Weaknesses

• Kleptomaniac
• Skittish and fearful
• Nonverbal

History

Kaiden, after receiving a couple of neurological diagnoses from the family doctor, was largely ignored by his parents. He never attended normal school, instead being tutored at home. His father, a rich businessman, could easily afford treatment for his son, but for whatever reason he could never seem to afford the kid any time. This bred in Kaiden a strong sense of boredom, and he took to sneaking out late at night and stealing things from his neighbors. Nothing of value, really. Just a whole lot of pencils, a box of paperclips, some jewelry and other items that had little to no value for him.
At the age of six or so, his little problem with kleptomania had grown exponentially, but he'd also discovered a talent for drawing. Really there was nothing unique about that per se, but his particular style of artwork, a disturbing sort of surrealism, seemed to capture the attention of his parents and tutors. The next six years were spent honing this skill to the point where Kaiden kind of hates drawing now. He doesn't want the attention, but his parents were so dead-set on him being famous that he was forced into this program and he can't even really communicate that he wants to leave.

Audition Summary
A portfolio of his best work was collected and displayed. Judges noted that Kaiden seemed nervous and distant during the whole procedure, but they were relatively impressed with his work. However, not quite enough to earn him a place. A generous.... "donation" from Kaiden's father is what really got him his position here, but let's keep that on the down low, shall we?

Miscellaneous/extra
Kaiden has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and a mild case of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

History

Norwegian-born, American-raise. Erica was the firstborn to a Norwegian mother, Freya, and half-Norwegian half-American, Michael, father late one stormy night- or early if that's how you wish to look at it. Her father was a dentist and her mother an accountant. Erica spent her first 6 years in Oslo, Norway, learning basic English through her father alongside the tongue of her homeland. During this time her mother conceived 2 more children. Erica was quite a cheerful young girl and would show affection to her siblings everywhere, she was proud of them. At 6 Michael got a better job offer in America after being recommended by his American-dwelling brother. Erica was excited for her next adventure, not realising the challenges she'd face

Initially, America was scary. Everyone talked so differently, and so fast, Erica wasn't that skilled at English yet. Because of he language barrier Erica was home-schooled through her younger years, her uncle and father teaching her English and taking her, and her siblings, out into situations where she was forced o listen to and sometime communicate in English such as church and shops and even one of her dad's meetings. Eventually she got the hang of English and went into a public middle school. Over these 4 year her mother conceived twice more- 2 girls.

During middle school Erica's eyes were opened to much of the temptations and problems of the world around her and abroad- outside the bubble she'd lived in for so long. At that young age she decided she wanted to do something- to make a difference- something more then throwing some mealy coins into a donation box. Her passion drove her to write songs armed with her keyboard and voice. She'd often perform little performances for her family and close friends one occasions.

Going into high school her mother, just having her 6th child, became victim to breast cancer. In this time Erica's loud opinions made her the victim of bullying. Eventually she feel into the hands of depression. For a while she gave up on everything altogether, hope and her beloved music. At the time she felt her life a curse, bad stuff piled upon her as she had to often become a carer with her father out working a lot to earn enough for the family of 8 and cover her mother's medical fees. She even worked to earn some money for the family for a while. Eventually, though, she learnt to change her pain into music-helpful music. What she once saw as a curse she now sees a blessing- she now knows how to approach these problems through music. Her mother's still fighting cancer and Erica is still on the recovery route from depression but loves how much it drives her music. That was when she decided to sign up for Fame Manor.

Audition Summary
The day was coming to a close and the men and women chosen to select the 24 young people were getting tired. Tired physically but also tired of the continuous flow of young 'singers' with their guitars or pianos attempting to be the next 'Taylor Swift' or 'Justin Bieber'. A couple stood out but for the most part the sappy love songs and amateur pop melodies wee getting old so when Erica come in, synth keyboard in hand, they wee doing all they could to not grown at what they assumed to be another attempt to become a pop star. Then she started and they found themselves very wrong. Bringing an electro-influence rock song to the tables alongside her impressive, although many had been as impressive vocally, what really impressed them what she sang about. Her first song about making a difference despite the human will o stay in your 'place' and pretend you have not place to change anything and the second about pushing through the trials of life- her uniqueness in her music and lyric made her stick in their minds and she got in
