None

▾ Happy go Lucky ▾ Can be a troublemaker ▾ Responsible ▾ Has a drive to prove himself the best at everything ▾

▾ Personality:

Mat as he prefers to be called when away from home is a typical tween boy who is obsessed with video games, and getting into trouble. While many children are close with their families Mat seems to be the outcast so to speak, preferring to stay away and spend the night with his friends instead. In fact, the only sibling he can stand is Tatiana as he feels she's a role model. Very bright, Mat does well in all his classes without really having to apply himself, evidence that he is in the wrong classes though he would probably commit murder if someone tried to move him out and away from his teammates and friends. A true team player, he plays on the Baseball team, football team, and basketball team and the sense of responsibility and sportsmanship is deeply ingrained inside him.

▾ Hobbies & Interests:

A sports fanatic, Mat has a passion for anything requiring him to get sweaty and get that thrill of competition. Football, basketball, baseball, soccer, swimming, wrestling are just a few. Other than that roaming the town and the outskirts with his friends and teammates takes up most of his time. His one hobby outside of sports is video games.

▾ Biography:

As the last child born to the Díaz family, Mat is the one that seems to be the one that got away. Brought up much the same way as his siblings with the perfect expectations and constant parental supervision it wasn't hard to begin getting rebellious. He defied his parents most of his early childhood even, though he always knew how to toe the line, bringing both his mother and father to a boiling point and then finding a way to simmer it back down. A major point of contention and one that almost got him beat by his father was his ignoring schoolwork to play sports, and taking lower academic level classes to be with his friends..

▾Creative▾Kinda Rude▾ Empathetic▾Selectively Apathetic▾

▾ Personality:

Sawyer is definitely an interesting character. He was handed a very bad hand in life and plenty of daddy issues. He’s definitely a guy with a lot of internal anger that he doesn’t always know how to deal with. He finds his release in skating, smoking, vaping, weed, etc. Sometimes, however, his anger expresses itself through him shouting at walls and hitting things. He’s not a bad guy, though. He does care about his friends, but he just doesn’t always realize how much. At first glance, especially to those who don’t know him well, he can come off as a total jerk. Those who are friends with him know he’s not too bad.

▾ Hobbies & Interests:

• Skating
• Hanging out with his friends
• Vaping

▾ Likes & Dislikes:

+ Alternative Music (TOP, P!ATD, etc.)

▾ Biography:

Sawyer's life was unfortunately never a contender to be made into a hallmark movie. His mom was only 17 when she had him, and she'd had a horrible addiction to cocaine. When she gave birth, both of the almost died, but the doctors managed to save Sawyer, though not his mother. His mother's family had long since disowned her, so Sawyer's much older father, Jacob Riter, was left to care for his son by himself, as his family was across the country. Naturally, Riter was not the picture of maturity and fatherhood, and quickly fell into an addiction to all things alcoholic. He constantly slept around in his younger years and often came home with a random girl.

This lifestyle was obviously not a great environment for Sawyer to grow up in, and he was practically forced to raise himself. His dad made sure he had food, but that was about it. On more than one occasion came home wasted and aggressive, and Sawyer became best friends with his dad's strength and often his belt. This led to many fights between them, and when Sawyer was old enough, he decided to fight back for a change. He hit his dad over the head with a whiskey bottle, but his dad was still bigger and stronger than him. He beat him to a pulp, and used a studded belt to put a long scar across Sawyer's back.

When police were alerted to this Jacob Riter was immediately arrested. Being 16 at the time, Sawyer chose to file for Child Emancipation, and was granted it. He was allowed to live by himself instead of going to foster care. About six months later, he was called by his estranged aunt Rachel, his dad's sister. She moved down to Dixie Inn to help him, even though he was legally independent. He on Wednesdays and Sundays cleaning tables at a local diner.

Leith

Leith

_{Wait, you mean you didn't know Italian Spiderman was actually made in Australia?}

---

---

▾ Name: Leith

Leith Matteo Meyer

▾ Age:

19

▾ Gender:

Male

▾ Sexuality:

Homosexual

▾ Piercings, Tattoos, Scars:

Nope.

---

---

▾ Humble ▾ Indecisive ▾ Generous ▾ Unassertive ▾

▾ Personality:

Leith is a mommas boy at heart. A real sweetheart, he likes to help people out and most would say he's honestly the sweetest boy on earth. He's not without his shortcomings however. During his teenage years, Leith was disruptive in class and a bit of a troublemaker. His acting out was largely due to his conflicting feelings regarding his sexuality as he began to discover he wasn't attracted to girls. When he finally came out and learned to love himself a little more, he returned to the sweet boy he'd been before, heck, moreso even, he was now more humbled.
He's a bit of a prude in a way. Not that he's utterly virginal, but he absolutely can't stand foul language and can't help but cringe when someone swears, he himself never cusses. He generally keeps to himself but is also quick to offer a helping hand and be outgoing. He loves his friends dearly and he's a soft, old-school hopeless romantic at heart. His biggest issue is probably his indecision. Leith tries to please everyone and often fails to satisfy ANYONE by trying to keep everyone happy. He's easily manipulated because he tries to be a people pleaser. His relationship with his step-father is tense. He tends to have conflicting emotions regarding the men in his life and at times his rejection at the hands of his biological father rears its ugly head and threatens his relationships.

▾ Hobbies & Interests:

Repairing engines. He doesn't care about fancy new models or luxury cars, he likes fixer-uppers. He likes reading comicbooks and watching low budget "awful" movies (the worse the movie, the better!). He's outdoorsy and sporty and would happily spend every weekend swimming in the creek or camping and singing round a campfire with friends.

▾ Likes & Dislikes:

+ comics
+ cars
+ cute boys
+ outdoors

- swearing
- taking sides/fights
- bad coffee
- stepdad (sometimes)

▾ Other:

He's left handed, bears a striking resemblance to his biological father, works in the local auto-repair garage. He was somewhat close to the victim (Olivia) because sometimes after school he would sit in Nicky's while his mom worked and she would help him with his homework and she was probably the second or third person he came out to (after his mom) because she had such a warm, kind temperament. He's been very unsettled by her gruesome and untimely death.

---

▾ Biography:

The end-product of a teenage pregnancy ... Leith had a pretty decent childhood though, his mother Jessica, done a good job and she was heavily supported by Leith's maternal-grandparents.
His father (who was from an Italian family, hence Leith's half-Italian heritage) didn't stick around and this rejection at the hands of his father has always lingered with Leith.

Leith was about 12 when he began to think he was different and by 14 he was 100% sure he was gay and that made him miserable.
He was troublesome in school even though he was quite popular in his class and well liked by his peers. His mom didn't know what to do. Teachers said he was clever but kept causing disruptions and didn't do his homework. He fought with his step-dad and was disagreeable, so much unlike the sweet, quiet child Jessica had once known.

Things got a lot better when Leith finally confided in his that he was gay and was scared she'd kick him out and reject him like his father did, afraid his friends would turn on him and his life would be ruined. She accepted him and supported him although it wasn't always easy on her, especially in a small, religious town. Regardless, Jess put on a brave face because deep down, even though she didn't mean to get pregnant at 17, she was happy with her life, her family, and she loved Leith to death.

After coming out things began to look a lot better for Leith. He lost some friends in school, but surprisingly, he had a few supporters and homophobic bullying didn't really harm him. While he studied, he became an apprentice mechanic at the local auto-repair shop and thoroughly enjoyed it. Jess wanted him to go to college, she'd had a chance and lost it and didn't want it to happen to her son, but he seemed content Dixie fixing cars. It was his own real serious interest he didn't have any huge ambitions. She urged him to consider college, perhaps he'd like engineering. In the end, he was awarded a sports scholarship, but he could defer it for a couple of years.

She's not as mature as other mums, at least, she wasn't when Leith was young, but now she's older and wiser but sometimes she still finds herself out of her depth. She relies a lot on her husband for support, advice and insight. Sometimes she can be a bit of a soft touch, particularly with Leith because they have a unique bond. She loves her family and her home and is very house-proud. Sometimes she can be a bit bratty to the neighbours, they are roughly the same age, except instead of having teenagers and young adult kids, their kids are just starting school (in the 2-10 age range), she feels she has a lot to prove because she's still trapped in the 80's when people looked down on girls getting pregnant at a young age, or having kids with different fathers.

▾ Biography:

Jessica was a pretty, popular young girl. She was the cheerleader with the hot (Italian) quarterback boyfriend and the whole world ahead of her was gleaming with promise. She was going to get a cheerleading scholarship and go to a fancy city university and everything would be just dandy ... Until she found herself pregnant at 17 ... She had her first child, a boy, Leith, when she turned 18.

Jessica found it hard to bond with Leith at first, but her mother and father were supportive, they insisted she stick it out and be proud and raise Leith to the best of her ability. Leith's father stuck around for about 8 months before abandoning them and disappearing to another state or europe or WHO KNOWS WHERE, never even sending a card or a penny of support. This made Jess furious, but it also made her very protective of her little boy.

Although they had a rocky start, Jess became an utterly devoted mother and gave Leith the very best life she could, with the help of her own parents. When Leith turned 5, she was able to work again, taking part-time hours while he was in school. She developed a bit of a social life and some independence. When Leith was 7, Jess's father took a stroke and eventually had to be taken into residential care. Her mother left to go to the next town over to stay close to her father and the title of the house was turned over to her. With a part time job and a busy young son and now a house to do up all of her own, Jess found herself very busy indeed.

Eventually, waitressing at the Nickys restuarant she'd worked in since Leith was 5, a regular, a cop from the city, finally worked up the courage to ask her on a date. For the first time since she was a teenager, Jess was getting dolled up and going out on dates. Leaving Leith with a child minder on date night, she enjoyed the attention and the brief feeling that she wasn't all alone. This man was successful, hardworking and kind and he didn't even mind that Jess had a child.

After a few months of courting, Jess introduced him to Leith and the couple began considering moving in together, if he could find a way to work closer to Dixie. SUCCESS!!! and so Leith got a new "dad", although he didn't really take to him much, after spending his entire childhood with only Jess, he was standoffish and distrustful of suddenly having a father figure. Regardless, Step-Dad tried his best.

When Jess found herself pregnant once again, she feared she'd be left alone with the child again and asked Step-Dad where he stood with this "family" she had. Fortunately she got a much deserved happy ending and they got married very quickly and then Jess's daughter, Apsen (vertigh0st's char), was born. Jess left her job in the diner to raise Apsen and become a full time house wife, her husband could comfortably support them, especially since they didn't have a mortgage to worry about. Now, Leith is a man (though he's still her baby) and her daughter is quickly growing up too, Jess happily maintains her home, keeping kids and husband happy and instead of work, she gets involved in various community projects and parent groups. Although he is long in the past, she still painfully remembers Leith's father, since he looks so strikingly similar to him.

▾ Friendly ▾ Naive ▾ Energetic ▾ Short Attention Span ▾

▾ Personality:

Micky is an extremely active kid. He has always been highly energetic. He loves exploring his surroundings and meeting new people. He is one of the friendliest people one could meet. He considers everyone around him a friend even if they make a point that they aren't. He is very trusting nearing on the edge of gullible. He isn't even that complex of an individual. He knows what he wants, says what he wants, and has no screen between his brain and his mouth. Just talking to him for about 10 minutes and you'll be able to understand him fairly well.

▾ Hobbies & Interests:

Being a Hill, Micky's blood is practically infused with competitive spirit. He loves all sorts of games from sports, video games, board games, party games, and the likes. He also will do his absolute best to win even if he doesn't stand a chance. He loves the games but he just kinda sucks at them. Another hobby, if you can call it that, is the action of just doing what a little brother should do. Being aa pest to his older brothers and sisters is something that he'd wake up early to do.

▾ Biography:

Micky was born as the youngest child to a fairly sizable family. His parents are Nathan and Taylor Hill. He has two brothers and three sisters even though one of his sisters is adopted. Micky grew up in an extremely loving home. Everyone looked out for another and cared for the other. Whenever his parents weren't around his oldest siblings seemed more like parents at times because of how much they looked out for their younger siblings. It was such a nurturing environment and his family protected him and the other youngest child from all the bad in the world. This protection is the main reason for Micky's naivety and gullibility. Yet, this is all that can really be said about Micky since he is so young. His history is short but the pages are written each day.

▾ Empathic ▾ Doesn't think before she acts ▾ Outgoing▾ Stubborn ▾

▾ Personality:

Courtney is a very outgoing person, she's the kind to pull up tired moms and dads at her son's daycare and offer to take their kids to preschool and back for the next few days or take the weary parents out for coffee. The woman seems to have a rather odd amount of energy but, honestly, she's just good at hiding tiredness. (Her love of coffee's a big help). She's rather open and can be easy to talk to. She's been through quite a bit and finds it easy to relate to particularly teens going through those experiences. She's an empathic person.

Courtney is rather stubborn, once she has a view on something it's almost impossible to change her mind. Sometimes she dives head-first into something without looking further into it or thinking. This results in her getting frustrated and stressed, which she usually accidentally takes out on her friends and family. She then has a lot of trouble finding another way or trying another approach. Courtney doesn't know when to give up.

▾ Biography:

Courtney grew up with a rather average home life in her younger years. Her mother, Michelle Peters, had a condition that gave her a very slim possibility of conceiving children so Courtney grew up an only child.

Little could be said about Courtney in her early years. She was a 'normal' kid. However, as she got older, this didn't stay the same. As she got into middle school Courtney started hanging out with the wrong crowd. From there her life was very much a 'good girl gone bad' story. She became known in the town for her 'Gothic' look and, particularly, her addiction to drugs. Particularly Ice and Heroin. She would be high extremely often and her home life became shattered because of it.

It was when she was 17 Courtney OD'd on heroin and was found passed out at Lafayette Bayou. Luckily she was found in time and the doctors able to save her. However, with medical proof if illegal drug usage, Courtney was put on trial.

In the end, due to her young age and the fact she didn't harm anyone physically while she was high, Courtney was given a 24 month sentence as long as she attended weekly therapy sessions and drug test (starting at biweekly but becoming further apart if she had no sign of drugs every time) for 3 years proceeding the sentence. Shortly after the sentence Courtney then went through a 'drug court' and successfully changed her prison sentence to time at rehabilitation institute as long as the preceeding therapy and drug checks were maintained afterwards.

In her early months particularly, Courtney found rehab tough, extremely so. She commonly experienced withdrawal symptoms but, in hindsight, Courtney considers it the best thing she's done. When she returned to town she was seen to be completely transformed and complied with the rest of the court's rulings.

Only months after starting therapy she met David Nightingale, the son of her therapist. He was only a year older than her and the pair became fast friends and, eventually, it blossomed into more.

Courtney was 21 when Peter proposed, with Courtney giving a positive response. Knowing his partner's love for music complete a song despite the fact he had no musical ability whatsoever, nor a decent singing voice, but Courtney found it sweet. The pair got married a year later, the day after her sentence was officially complete.

After their honeymoon Courtney, wishing to help others overcome problems she had gone through before it goes too far, decided she wanted to become a school counselor so she went straight on to doing a uni degree through an online course. She finished her master's degree only at the end of the year before and started working as a counsellor at the local high school the year just gone.

When Courtney was 25, and halfway through her bachelor degree, she found herself pregnant with a boy. The couple waited anxiously for his birth, over preparing in every way (only to find they could never really be prepared). Courtney was 26 when she she brought Tyson Jai Nightgale into the world.

Only about a month before the murder Courtney discovered she was once again pregnant. Only a week and a half prior she found put she was expecting twins and the couple soon told their son.

NPC: Tyson Jai Nightingale

Tyson is the 3 year old son of David and Courtney. He is a very cheerful funloving child and gets his energy from being around others. He is, or likes to think he is at least, very observant and in the last few days he has made it very clear to his mother she's 'getting a bit fat' before consoling her that 'It's ok because there's babies growing inside her tummy making her fat!' Tyson is very proud to be a brother and tells practically everyone he meets he's going to be 'big brudda' soon. He's eager to grow up to do things like drive a car and buy toys by himself and will often tell his parents it won't be long until he can! (Ah, the naive mind of a child)
