Kurt Moretti

Name: Kurt Moretti
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Clique: Punks
Sexuality: Straight, but questionably so.

Personality: Kurt is surprisingly tame. While not entirely "normal", he could have been a lot worse. Having mostly raised himself, he is probably the most responsible out of his friend group. Kurt isn't very outgoing or friendly. He tends to stick with the people he knows and won't venture out of his friend group unless pushed to. He's pretty secretive, never talking about himself or his family. His quiet nature, mixed with his grim attire and tall stature, tends to make people nervous.

He was mostly sorted in with the punks because of his wardrobe and wayward personality. He was raised by 80's punk rockers, so he's pretty comfortable around them anyway.

That said, due to the frustrations and general woes of his life, Kurt can be a bit touchy depending on the day. Some days he's pretty chill, others, he'd ready to fight literally anyone. He's not very nice, and unless you're one of his friends, he's generally unpleasant to be around.

Appearance: Most of Kurt's clothes were hand-me-downs from his dad. He wears a lot of dark colors, red, bright purple, and skeleton themed clothes, most of which are too big for him. His dad had a lot of money back in the day, so most of the clothes Kurt wears are name brand and very expensive. This leads people to believe that Kurt has money, which is false.

Body-wise, Kurt is very tall and a bit too skinny. He stands at 6'2", and still waiting on one last growth spurt. He is very lanky, and could probably use a little more protein in his diet. His knobby joints tend to stick out, and his face is sort of gaunt. He is very pale skinned, giving him an overall half-dead appearance. This, mixed with his messy, dark curls, almost automatically puts him into the 'punk' category. His eyes are dark blue, almost purple looking. Kurt has a faded scar across his throat. He won't disclose much about other than he got it in a car accident, and that it's the reason he doesn't talk.

Other: Kurt is a functional mute. While he can talk, scaring in his throat and vocal cords make it uncomfortable and very rough sounding. He's been this way since before he moved into town. He mostly communicates via sign language,
and really only talks out loud when he has to. His voice usually frightens people when they first hear it.

The internal scarring on his throat also makes it difficult for him to swallow solid food. For the most part, Kurt lives on a diet of smoothies, protein shakes, pudding, and custard-like textures. His poor nutritional intake probably attribute to his thin build.

Most of his clothes have this logo on them, from the band The Dreaming Dead. AKA his dad's band. People probably assume he's a big fan, but he really isn't.

History: Most of his friends enjoy rebelling against their parents, meanwhile, Kurt just wishes he had parents. His dad was a very popular punk singer from the eighties. His mother was a groupie. His mother was unfit to raise children, so Kurt's father was saddled with taking care of him. This usually consisted of him being dumped off on stage managers and other groupies. Kurt actually saw very little of his father. He was, instead, raised by punkrockers who really had no business being anywhere near a child.

In his younger years, Kurt was introduced to drugs and alcohol, which he dabbled with to evade the reality of being a rock star's forgotten child. He's mostly clean these days.

Kurt's father finally began to lose popularity and began to fade into the background of the music world. He bought a large house and settled down for a while, actually hanging around Kurt for a few years. This was around the time of Kurt's injury, and probably had to do with guilt. Whatever it was, it didn't last long. He decided to go and re-kindle his career and took off again, leaving Kurt alone at the house. Occasionally, money will appear in an envelope with no return address, but for the most part, Kurt is on his own. He avoids disclosing his family background or home situation to anyone but his closest friends, because he doesn't want to be taken away and put into foster care.

Relationships

♥ Romantic Interest
☻ Friend/positive Impression
☁ Acquaintance/neutral Impression
☠ Enemy/negative Impression

James Solomon Gershowitz: ☻ One of Kurt's closest friends; his better half. Just being friends with this guy has probably made Kurt a better person over the last year or so.

Briella "Bree" Dominguez: ☠ Being the judgmental asshole that he is, he just assumes she's a bitch at face value. He's never really interacted with her, and probably will never do so intentionally. Perhaps he'll change his mind. Who knows.

Lucifer Weston: ☁ This kid's weird. That's saying a lot coming from Kurt. He normally avoids any kind of social interaction with him. Once Kurt spilled some soda dangerously close to the kid's papers and legit thought he was going to die.

Sierra Christine Jameson: ☻ A few years ago, Kurt had a bit of a crush on her. Then shit happened, his dad took off, and Kurt had other things to worry about. But they're cool. He likes her as a friend and is always down for pizza, B-list horror movies, and weed.

Dominique Saunders: ☠ Another person Kurt dislikes because he looked at her once and figured she was awful. He doesn't hang out with the "popular" kids anyways, so he doesn't really run across her a whole lot.

Brody Sullivan: ☻ He didn't mean for Brody to learn about his family's dark secret. But once he found out, they became closer friends. Turns out, they have more in common than Kurt thought.

Mina Nicole Thomas: ☁ She seems nice, but she's not in his circle of friends, so Kurt avoids her like he does most other people. He doesn't have much in common with her, and he probably never will.

Brad Masters: ☁ Kurt is overall indifferent towards him. He's pretty sure he's seen the guy make out with a football, no lie. The whole competitive thing is kinda' lost on Kurt, a guy who would die if even looked at a football field.

Billie Jean Amano Jenkins: ☁ She's cool. Kurt doesn't hang around her much, but she seems alright. Out of all the other cliques the geeks are probably the least threatening.

Irene Meeks: ☁ She seems pretty chill. She's quiet, but Kurt's the last person to judge on that basis. She seems...unique? But anyways, he can't be bothered to introduce himself to the art kid circle.

Mina Nicole Thomas: ☁ Kurt doesn't like, nor dislike her. She seems to float around the edges of the sporty and popular cliques, not so much his type. Other than what he sees of her in home room and other classes, he doesn't ever really interact with her.

Calien King: ☁ He's seen her hang around with a few of his own friends, and she seems alright. He doesn't really give two shits about anime, but whatever. There's worst hobbies he supposes.

Katia Corriveau: ☠ She's just like the other jocks and cheerleaders as far as he's concerned. Shallow, bloated ego, and overall not his type. She cares a little to much about looks, which obviously Kurt doesn't give two damns about. He's like 75% sure she's the one that started the rumor that he was an anorexic.

Tanner Palmer: ☻ Tanner is the only jock Kurt will actually be seen with. He mostly likes him because he gives him protein shakes. Like, the good kind that Kurt can't afford. He's a little...white bread, and Kurt's pretty sure he would stop hanging around him if he knew the things younger Kurt used to get up to, but he's decent ally for now.

Innes Stingray: ☠ What a fuckin tool. Kurt feels like he tries a little too hard to be the 'mysterious' guy. He could care less what's under the cover of that book.

A P P E A R A N C E

To put it gently, Sol is kind of a beanpole — tall and skinny with long, spindly limbs that are surprisingly graceful when it comes to skating. Off the board, however, Sol is a mess. Bumping into people, knocking over stuff, even tripping over his own feet; it’s really quite a miracle how he hasn’t managed to kill himself yet. His brothers love to joke about how he walks around like a baby deer trying to figure out the correct way to use its new legs, but hey, he’s the one with a good five inches on everyone else in the family, so who’s laughing now?

Sol has a tawny, sun-tanned complexion, courtesy of the countless hours he spends at the local skatepark. His curly black hair is usually sort of greasy, and often tangled in impossible knots. Pretty much the only time he puts in the effort to look presentable is when his mom yells at him, but even that’s not a given. On the left side of his nose, a little ways above his mouth, there’s a noticeable mole present. It’s the first thing most people notice about him, and while he’s certainly grown tired of your typical smartass pointing it out to him for like, the millionth time, Sol almost thinks of it as his good luck charm.

When it comes to clothing, Sol couldn’t care less. As long as he can do a kickflip in it, he’s happy. That said, he dresses exactly the way you’d expect him to — that is, a lot of t-shirts, hoodies, and jeans. Most of it hails from Goodwill, or the bottom of the bargain bin at Target, though he does have a few band tees he’s quite fond of. His pride and joy – and you’ll see him wearing this a lot – is an old army jacket adorned with an assortment of patches that he’s gathered over the years. It should also be noted that Sol has been wearing the same shoes for the past three years, though to anyone with a working pair of eyeballs, it isn’t exactly hard to tell. What used to be a pair of black Converse have since faded into a sickly grey-green, the soles superglued back on.

P E R S O N A L I T Y

Sol has never met anyone that he didn’t, at first glance, consider a friend. The first thing most people see when meeting him is his spirit, and the wide, toothy grin that tips closer to psychotic than welcoming. He’s always been an energetic one, full of life and personality, almost to a fault. If he likes something, chances are he’ll let you know it, and if he doesn’t — well, he’s never been shy about voicing his opinion in that matter either. Try as he might, he’s never really had the best poker face in the world, and it tends to give him away more than not. His sense of humor, however snarky and crude, will never fail to bring a smile to people’s faces, and even if that doesn’t work, his laugh is deathly infectious. Sol is one of those guys you hate to love, and he knows it well.

At the very core of his personality, he’s kind of a bleeding heart, and often puts the needs of others above his own. It is his belief that when you’re good to people, people are good in return; what you put out is hopefully equal to what you get back from the world. If he’s bored enough, he’ll do anything for anyone. An incurable optimist, Sol has a tendency to see the glass as half full. Apart from that, loyalty is another one of Sol’s defining traits; once you give him a good reason to trust you, he’ll always have your back, even when he knows you’re in the wrong.

While Sol generally makes it a point to avoid confrontation – and believe me, he’s very hard to anger – he can get a little snappy when people start poking into his personal affairs. He hates being treated like a child, which unfortunately, as the youngest of the Gershowitz clan, is something he’s still unable to avoid. One of his biggest pet peeves is people helping him when he doesn’t need it. As with everything else, the majority of his teenage angst manifests in the form of caustic sarcasm. He’s the type of guy whose bark is greater than his bite, though he does have a penchant for pissing people off with his bluntness. Still, he’s never purposefully malicious, he just doesn’t like feeling vulnerable.

O T H E R

Sol has an unhealthy obsession with The Strokes, and often jokes about wanting to be Julian Casablancas when he grows up. Also, he’s allergic to peanuts.

---

H I S T O R Y

Sol had a pleasant, if rather unremarkable upbringing. As the youngest of four children, he’s always been treated with a certain degree of preciousness, though his parents were careful not to spoil him. Together, the family of six lived in a nice house in the suburbs, complete with a white picket fence, a crisp, green yard, and a yapping black labrador. Sol’s father, Lev Gershowitz, was chief rabbi at Vinehurst’s very own synagogue. Mrs Gershowitz, on the other hand, taught social studies at a local elementary school. Suffice to say, he never wanted for anything. Every year, along with a sickeningly sweet birthday cake, he would get a nice present wrapped in garish colors, usually some kind of video game.

As luck would have it, on his ninth birthday, Sol found himself captured by one game in particular — Tony Hawk: Shred. He couldn’t quite believe his eyes when he first tore the package from its cocoon of wrapping paper. The game came with a motion-controlled board you could actually ride on. To Sol’s young, nine-year-old mind, it might as well have been magic. That summer, he and his brothers spent far too much of their time on that game, though as is typical of children, they soon grew tired of it. Eventually, his brothers moved on to other things, but for Sol, the seeds of interest had been sown. It wasn’t easy, but he persisted; begging, wheedling, pestering his parents until they finally gave in and got him a skateboard the very next year.

His parents thought it would be nothing more than a passing fancy, but Sol proved to be surprisingly dedicated. Everyday after school, he would run off to the skatepark, watching bigger kids do tricks that he would then attempt himself. He didn’t always succeed, of course, but he never failed to pick himself up and try again. Even on the day of his Bar Mitzvah, he could barely stay in his seat. All Sol wanted was to get out there and skate with his friends again, and he ended up rushing through his reading of the Haftarah like he was spitting bullets. Needless to say, his father wasn’t very happy about the whole affair.

When Sol finally got to high school, he quickly realised that his life motto of ‘skate is life’ wasn’t going to work out. All of a sudden, he found himself having to prepare for SATs, college, blah blah blah. His parents even made him get a part-time job at the local smoothie place to teach him ‘the value of hard work’. Nowadays, what little time he has to spare is spent skating, hanging out with friends, and smoking the occasional bowl under the bleachers.

Hey, he’s seventeen, alright? When else is he going to have the chance to get up to some good-old fashioned teenage rebellion?

Sol’s Relationships

^{┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
♥ Romantic Interest
☻ Friend/positive Impression
☁ Acquaintance/neutral Impression
☠ Enemy/negative Impression
┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛}

Kurt Moretti
♥ | ☻ | ☁ | ☠

Kurt is Sol’s brother from another mother, his sib from another crib, his dude from another brood, his — you get the idea. The two have been close friends for quite a while now, and it all started because they were assigned the same table in chemistry one day. He’s even managed to pick up a bit of sign language after getting Kurt to teach him.

Briella Dominguez
♥ | ☻ | ☁ | ☠

Sol would never admit it – a man still has his pride to worry about, after all – but he’s actually a little scared of Bree. They don’t really move in the same circles, though from what few interactions they have had, Sol gets the impression that Bree isn’t the type to pull her punches when things go south, and he doesn’t fuck with that.

Lucifer Weston
♥ | ☻ | ☁ | ☠

Sol hasn’t really had a chance to interact with Lucifer, though he wouldn’t be opposed to doing so if the opportunity presented itself. He can kind of understand how some people might be put off by the guy’s creepy stare, or even his inexplicably ominous moniker; seriously, who names their kid Lucifer? But hey, he’s Jewish. He doesn’t believe in the Devil, anyway.

Sierra Jameson
♥ | ☻ | ☁ | ☠

Sol thinks Sierra is ‘chill’, which is a highly-regarded term of address he reserves for the people he’s closest to. Most days, it just feels like Sierra is one of the guys. Whether they’re skating, at a gig, or just sitting in her bedroom playing video games, hanging out with her is always something he looks forward to. Oh, and he actually finds it kind of cute when she gets all huffy after losing at a game, but you didn’t hear it from him, alright?

Dominique Saunders
♥ | ☻ | ☁ | ☠

Okay, don’t get him wrong, Sol doesn’t believe in judging a book by its cover, but he just thinks that Dominique can be a little too high-strung sometimes. Unlike her, he’s happy to sit back and take things as they come. There’s really not a lot he can say about Dominique, except that he goes out of his way to avoid her whenever possible. It’s probably for the best, anyway, or at least that’s what he tells himself.

Mina Thomas
♥ | ☻ | ☁ | ☠

While they haven’t had many opportunities to interact, Sol gets the impression that Mina would be fun to hang around, and he always digs when someone is passionate about what they do. All in all, he just thinks that Mina is a genuinely nice person; maybe one he could even be friends with, if given the chance.

Brad Masters
♥ | ☻ | ☁ | ☠

Brad is something of a role model to Sol, mostly because he wishes he could get swole like him, and the guy’s only sixteen! But alas, Sol loves pizza a little too much, and couldn’t bench 80 if his life depended on it, so he’ll just have to content himself with staring wistfully from afar, wishing he was him.

Brody Sullivan
♥ | ☻ | ☁ | ☠

Given their interests, it’s no surprise that Brody and Sol get on like a house on fire. He’s the one Sol can always count on when he’s looking for a friend to skate with. Heck, sometimes he thinks Brody might like skating even more than he does, which is really quite impressive considering the number of spare bearings he burns through a year.

Billie Jenkins
♥ | ☻ | ☁ | ☠

Billie, Billie, Billie… What can Sol say about Billie? Ever since he saw her cycling to school, the wind in her hair, he’s kind of had a crush on her. Yeah, it’s kind of stupid, like, he hasn’t even said anything to her other than a passing ‘hey’ every now and then. Still, he can’t help but feel a little shy every time they pass each other in the hallway. Maybe he’ll finally approach her after coming up with a pick-up line that isn’t related to comic books.

Irene Meeks
♥ | ☻ | ☁ | ☠

Sol knows Irene simply as the ‘art chick’. She always seems to be painting… something, he’s not really sure what. Granted, Sol doesn’t know a lot about art, but from what he’s seen her paint in class, he thinks she shows some real talent. Sol just wishes she would speak up more.

Calien King
♥ | ☻ | ☁ | ☠

Few people are as much of an enigma as Calien is, and it doesn’t help that the two of them are in different grades. All Sol knows is that she has cool hair, and how there’s a bunch of rumours circulating about her personal life; the latter of which is kind of annoying. Why can’t people just mind their own business?

Katia Corriveau
♥ | ☻ | ☁ | ☠

In truth, he doesn’t really care for Katia, and while he doesn’t quite go out of his way to avoid her, he tries to keep their already infrequent interactions short. Maybe it’s because he hasn’t gotten to know her, but her domineering personality has left Sol reluctant to do so.

Tanner Palmer
♥ | ☻ | ☁ | ☠

From what Sol can tell, Tanner just seems like a nice, wholesome dude; the type of guy who’s perfectly capable of shoving nerds into lockers, but doesn’t because it’s not what Jesus would do. If Sol didn’t like to spend gym class blazing it under the bleachers, he’d probably be friends with the guy. Probably.

Innes Stingray
♥ | ☻ | ☁ | ☠

Sol thinks Innes has the name, look, and personality of a rockstar. Other than that, they haven’t really talked much. Most of the time, Innes seems intent on keeping to himself; not that there’s anything wrong with that, of course, but Sol thinks he could do with being less of a downer.

Satan

🌲 Name
Lucifer Weston.

🌲 Nickname
🌵 Lucy.
🌵 Morningstar, (from the show).
🌵 Lightbringer, (from the bible).
🌵 Nerd, (from the reality).

🌲 Age
Sixteen.

🌲 Gender
Male.

🌲 Role
Art Students, (Author).

🌲 Sexuality
Homosexual.

🌲 Status
Single.

🌲 Popularity
1/10.

🌲 Friends
2/10.

🌲 Social Presence
2/10.



🌲 Personality
🌵 Relaxed.
🌵 Laid back.
🌵 Dreamy.
🌵 Creative.
🌵 Chilled out.
🌵 Confident.

One would be a fool to consider Lucifer a shy, reserved and withdrawn outsider. Indeed, an outsider he is, but all too comfortable within himself to be considered insecure. Being openly gay does come with its fair share of social confrontation within the battlefield known as high school. However, Lucifer, a boy with a name edgy enough in itself, quickly learned to distance himself from the strife otherwise circling his everyday life. Insults, glares, and remarks tend to roll off his back as if water on a duck, and the boy maintains a relaxed disposition through it all.

Of course, this isn't to say that Lucifer has reached a form of absolute self-esteem. He is often, if not always, overly critical towards his work and a bit of an elitist when it comes to writing. Publishing his stories online, the boy does have a following of fans whom he tends to communicate with far more than the students physically interacting with him on a daily basis.

Mainly lost in thought, Lucifer finds himself walking a different path from most. Thinking on the ever constant shift and tide of his writing, it is safe to say that he doesn't pay as much attention as he perhaps should, considering his surroundings.

It would be a stretch to claim that Lucifer has an impressive level of friends, but if asked he'd simply shrug and claim that anyone's fine to be around. With a pair of headphones constantly on his ears, and those large, brown eyes always set in the notebook in his hands, it's no mystery why he's considered an outsider.

Even so, Lucifer has nothing against going to school, and does manage decent grades, mainly in literature and creative writing as one might suspect. It is no secret that he is part of the writers' club where he often spends some time after school.

🌲 Appearance
🌵 Skinny.
🌵 5'5".
🌵 80lbs.

There is little to be impressed over, considering Lucifer's looks. He is small, especially for his age, standing at a mere five feet and five inches, which tends towards the smaller scale of more feminine frames. Indeed, his slight weight of eighty pounds would clearly reveal the petite nature of his form, with scrawniness being front and center. Pale skin easily contrasts the thick black hair atop his head, tracing its way down his face in bangs often branded 'emo'. He doesn't appear to mind.

As for clothes, one could claim that they reflect the boy's personality quite well. Cargo pants or jeans along with unzipped sweaters are the most common sight brought to light. He is commonly seen in a row of leather bracelets along his forearms, adding just a hint of exotic flavor to his repertoire. Like most, the ever mainstreaming converse shoes are a comfortable choice which he tends towards. Black and white in color, of course, with a high ankle collar.

Lucifer enjoys vanilla scented perfumes, which go well with the more nature-inspired look he ever so often blankets himself in. If seen undressed, the boy has clearly lived an active life where root and branch have each come in contact with his skin, leaving the marks of experience in the form of smaller scars.

Facial hair doesn't seem to have blessed him yet, to his relief, as most boys his age frantically shave to keep up appearances. He'd thank his father's genes for that.

🌲 History

Relationship Sheet

🌲 Kurt
🌵 I still have a stain on the page he almost ruined...
🌵 I'm sure he's a nice guy but he comes off as a tad.., bipolar, and irritable.
🌵 It might be because I almost stabbed him, that one time. Really, I have one trigger, don't touch my notes.
🌵 Don't know if we'll ever grow any closer, not that I care too much, though.
🌵 He doesn't really like me.
🌵 He makes for a good smoker character who hangs out on the fringes.

🌲 Solomon
🌵 I like his name.
🌵 Uhm.., he's kinda' cute, I admit.
🌵 He's a good guy, I guess. There isn't really anything to redeem.
🌵 Sol makes for a good best friend for the main character.., oh, an idea. Nice.

🌲 Bree
🌵 I can appreciate a steadfast personality.
🌵 Mh, I can't really decide if she's a bitch or just.., really opinionated.
🌵 I'm pretty sure there's something else, there.
🌵 Bree makes for a good character with an attitude who you eventually warm up to, maybe in the later seasons.

🌲 Sierra
🌵 I like her, in a way. She doesn't take anyone's shit, and has a backbone. That's good.
🌵 She could be the main character, for sure. There's a lot to work with.
🌵 Every good character has a mix of drama and harmony in them. Sierra seems to balance that out, well enough.
🌵 Video games bring people together.

🌲 Brody
🌵 You're friends with the mute skeleton? Huh, the choices we make.
🌵 I won't lie, Brody, you're an interesting character. There's a lot of beyond that smile, isn't it?
🌵 You'd have to fight Sierra for a place in the spotlight, I admit. I'm sure there's room for you both, though.
🌵 It's charming, the whole skater persona, just don't let masks smother you, yeah?
🌵 You are quite impressive, on that board.., if you're going to fall off, make it a good read.

🌲 Billie
🌵 There are times where the girl does manage to make the gay boy think of an alternate reality.
🌵 Perhaps we can trade words, sometime? Seeing you from afar is only interesting for the first three chapters.
🌵 If anyone here ever had anything in common with me, I think it would be her.
🌵 Do you want to draw my stories into life, Billie?

🌲 Irene
🌵 If Vinehurst ever did have a muse in its halls, it would be you.
🌵 Yes, I heard you speak through your art, a language with more words than words could ever manage.
🌵 There is a strength inside of you Irene, one I admire.
🌵 Never yield. Art glows the brightest in a steadfast soul, and yours is clearly a brimming sun.

🌲 Brad
🌵 Even your name is a stereotype.
🌵 When you think, I can hear a puppy die.
🌵 What is it you see beyond the trivial pursuit of perfection?
🌵 If there is anything beyond that shell, it would take a chisel to break it loose.
🌵 Jocks. You're a castaway character designed for the development of your betters.
🌵 One scene. You get one scene.

🌲 Mina
🌵 You remind me of Cerberus, he also brings the party with him.
🌵 I'd say you've mastered the art of social convention, well done.
🌵 One mask for every opportunity, huh?
🌵 You'd make an interesting villain. Those layers are deceiving, yet comforting to have in one's presence.
🌵 You'd require several chapters to truly shine, and I'd love reading every second of it.

🌲 Dominique
🌵 You're entertaining.
🌵 I admire the fact that you've mastered words as a weapon.
🌵 A tactical person will go far, in life.
🌵 I'd say.., anti-hero. Yes, you'll make a good anti-hero.
🌵 How come all the girls are more interesting than the guys? This school sucks.

🌲 Calen
🌵 Huh.., you vex me.
🌵 It's like staring into a mist. You see shapes moving beyond the obfuscation but you can't.., be sure.
🌵 That smile, the friendly nature, yet the air of mystery makes you.., the most interesting person here.
🌵 Most definitely an important character. I'm eagerly waiting to see what your chapters reveal.

🌲 Katia
🌵 I can't.., stand bossy people.
🌵 You blend in well with everything else I see.
🌵 You could say that's a good thing, but honestly, it just makes you forgettable.
🌵 There are strengths there but so far.., eh.., I'd star someone with more emotional color.

🌲 Tanner
🌵 There are two types of jocks, one's an eventual love interest for the main character, the other, a plot point.
🌵 Which one are you? Think with your muscles, or your brain? I can't hear puppies screaming in agony yet, so, either you haven't gotten that far or.., there's more beyond the surface.
🌵 The way you look at me, Tanner, it's endearing.., and annoying. What do you want?
🌵 Yes, the weird outsider might be able to help you find yourself.
🌵 If there is something down there.., bring it out. I can't stand spineless men.
🌵 Right now? You're the background jock with a slightly more compelling character arc, than Brad. We'll see what happens.

🌲 Innes
🌵 Being a zombie must be exhausting.
🌵 That aside, any novel you're in would be about you becoming.., human.
🌵 Admittedly, your archetype usually ends up being a psychotic killer.
🌵 However, that's just lazy writing, I'm curious to see just what's under that armor of complete and utter disinterest.

Sierra Christine Jameson

_{FC: Bella Hadid | Color: Dark Red}

Sierra Christine Jameson

Si
The Nightingale (her PlayStation Network and Xbox Live alias)

Birth Date & Age:

July/13 | 18

Age:

18

Gender:

Female

Sexuality:

Bisexual

Relationship Status:

Single

Appearance:

The first thing one notices about Sierra are her big blue eyes, inherited from her mother. She has wavy black hair with blue streaks that is constantly loose, pale skin, a straight nose and small lips. She keeps a face bare of makeup and only wears flavored lip balms or dark lipstick and (occasionally) black eyeliner. Her personal style is described as grungy: tank tops with band names or movie/comic/anime references, dark colors, combat boots/Vans/Converse sneakers, lots of flannel and plaid shirts or dresses, jean shorts and skinny jeans. She stands at 5'8", with a body that's neither too skinny or overweight: just a perfect balance between the two than can be said to be an 'athletic build'. She has four piercings on each ear, a nose ring, an eyebrow piercing on her left eyebrow and a few small scars on her knees from the few skateboarding accidents she's had.

Habits:

• Rolls her eyes when annoyed (which is pretty much like blinking to her)
• Only hangs out with Punks, Sceners or Gamers.
• Has a tendency to impulsively say whatever she feels like without really considering the consequences.
• Indulges in a weed and pizza night every weekend.
• Has a very colorful sailor's mouth.

Hobbies:

• Playing Video Games
• Watching movies or anime
• Drawing
• Playing paintball

• Following the masses

Fears:

• Losing her sister or her stepfather.
• Not being able to join the military.
• Falling in love.

Personality:

Sierra is often described as the quirky half of the Jameson sisters: a complete opposite from her older sister Chloe. Upon first impressions, she comes off as a rather cold, serious tomboy that is never amused. In reality, she's a ball of energy that's easily annoyed. Sierra's also the type of girl that's very sarcastic, blunt, skeptical bordering on rude at first, but is really friendly, outgoing and crazy once you battle your way through her barriers and gain her trust. The rebellious part of her comes from the fact that her mother dotes on her older sister and constantly criticizes Sierra, which only makes their relationship more strained and causes Sierra to act up.

When being confronted by someone or something she doesn't particularly like, or when being told what to do or how to think, Sierra will immediately lash out at the culprit without giving a damn about anything. In fact, she lives every aspect of her life without a single care. She's never been interested in being part of the 'it crowd' (too much drama going on), and instead prefers to keep a low profile having fun alongside her fellow sceners and geeks. She is also one to get anything and everything she sets her mind to by doing whatever it takes. Though she likes to go out occasionally to concerts, rock shows, and such, most of the time you can be sure to find Sierra in her room either watching anime, reading manga or playing video games online with her friends.

Once you battle your way through her barriers and gain her trust, Sierra is really friendly, outgoing and crazy. She is loyal to the core, and will defend her loved ones like a fierce lioness. The side of Sierra no one has seen before lies in the romance aspect. As a lover, Sierra is sweet, passionate, intense and very affectionate. She perceives showing this soft side of her as a sign of weakness that can be used against her, so she keeps it to herself.

History:

Born on July 13th of 1998, to kindergarten teacher Sonya Jameson, Sgt. Charles Jameson of the US Army and older sister Chloe Desireé, Sierra was welcomed into the world with much enthusiasm: she'd been the missing piece to make the Jameson family complete. The Jameson girls were raised with much love and attention (and the occasional spoiling) in a big, comfortable middle-class home in the suburbs of Westworth: a quiet, closely-knit town. Though they showed very distinctive personalities since they were children, Chloe's and Sierra's differences became more evident as they grew into the tween and teen years, but weren't an obstacle in the girls growing up tight. This tight bond would only strengthen when tragedy struck the Jameson family in the form of Charles' loss in combat when Chloe was thirteen and Sierra was eight.

A year after their father had passed, Chloe and Sierra were introduced to their mother's new boyfriend: a high school English teacher by the name of Shawn Tomers, which she married a year later. While Chloe wasn't too impressed, Sierra was instantly smitten with the dark-skinned man: she'd been the daddy's girl of the sisters, and finding another father figure to look up to now that her hero had passed came as an absolute blessing to her. Since she'd been introduced to him, Sierra and Shawn had become inseparable, to the point in which he spoiled her as his own. This, combined with her mother's constant preference of Chloe over Sierra, caused the mother-daughter's relationship to be extremely strained. Shawn and Chloe often found themselves in the middle of the arguments between these hot-headed women, but there's not really much one can do when two people with such strong opinions clash.

Out of respect for Charles and the memories that they had built in the old home, the Jameson-Tomers family moved into a similar house closer to where Sonya and Shawn worked but none of this affected Chloe and Sierra. What did affect Sierra greatly was the loss of her father. She had always been easily angered, but after Charles' passing Sierra grew even more intolerant and often got into fights with people who bullied her. Soon enough, kids in the playground knew not to mess with her, and she was pretty much shunned out. Sierra didn't really care about this, and found solace in the world of video games instead. It was back in middle school when she finally made a few friends (gamers, skaters and rockers like herself), and when she decided to do other things besides play games or watch anime. Soon enough, Sierra was a regular at the paintball fields and the skateparks, and was absolutely adored by her friends and said communities. Finally, she found her place, people who understood her and liked her for who she was.

The day that Chloe had to leave for college was one of the few days in which Sierra had been a mess. Her older sister was everything to her, and knowing that they'd have to be away from each other for so long really upset them. On the good side, Sierra thought that this would mean a cease in her mother's criticism, but she turned out to be wrong. Now that Sierra was the only one left in the family home, it made it easier for Sonya to find further faults in her younger daughter. While Chloe was at college doing great things, back home Sierra and Sonya got into near-daily arguments that always ended with them storming their separate ways, doors slamming in the process and a helpless Shawn being stuck in the middle.

Brody Sullivan

Theme Song:Here's to Life - Streetlight Manifesto
"And I don't know much, but I do know this: With a golden heart comes a rebel fist. But I can't help agreeing with those that would not quit."

Name: Brody Keegen Sullivan

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Straight

Role: Skater/Stoner


Appearance:
Brody stands at about 5’9 with an athletic build although he hides his physicality under loose fitting clothing. His skin is tanned both from spending a good amount of time outdoors and a refusal to put on sun screen, like ever. His shaggy brown hair is a wild mop that’s almost always hidden under a hat and seems to be almost untamable. His eyes are bright blue and he’s got big broad smile. He’s got a few scars, one along his left forearm from a bad break, another over his right eyebrow from a gnarly wipeout, and has broken quite a few bones in his time, a cast of some kind seems to be almost an accessory for him. As for clothing, he shops almost exclusively at thrift stores, and a lot of times goes to ones in the nicer part of town to find better stuff. He prefers jeans, usually a little loose fitting; it can be hard to always find your exact size when you only buy second hand, t-shirts, and hoodies. As for accessories, other than casts and injuries, he’s almost always in a hat and with a skateboard.


Personality:
“The saddest people smile the brightest.” -Author Unknown. Words that can kind of sum up Brody. As a man who has gone through a lot in his short time he manages to always look on the bright side; as long as he’s still alive there’s always a chance for things to get better. He’s no quitter; hard work and perseverance have gotten him far in life, and he’s more than willing to put his all into something he cares about. He doesn’t take shit, and won’t stand by and watch others take it either; Brody is more than willing to stand up for anyone he sees getting bullied even if it means taking a beating, he has, after all, been through worse. He won’t hesitate to back a friend up in a fight either. Although he hates to admit that he has that side to him, Brody likes to fight and he has a quick temper. His willingness to resort to violence sometimes worries him, mostly that he’ll be like his father and ending up like him is his biggest fear.

Overall at school he seems happy go lucky, he likes to joke around and have a good time. Brody never appears to take anything other than skating seriously. He doesn’t care to burden others with his problems, and can’t stand being the guest of honor at a pity party. He plays everything off like it’s no big deal, he keeps a lot of things bottled up and generally has a very unhealthy way of dealing with life. Growing up he was deprived of attention a lot, which lead to him absolutely craving it, he’s willing to do almost anything for attention from his peers, even if it’s dangerous or makes him look stupid, it’s better than nothing. This tendency can lead to him coming off as annoying or immature to those around him.

He's never been comfortable completely letting his guard down with anyone, a lot of people have let him down in his life and so keeping people just far away enough that it’s okay to lose them just makes sense to him. He doesn’t often give second chances to those who’ve let him down and doesn’t trust anyone lightly. Questioning authority is basically a reflex for him at this point, adults have always failed him and trouble is attention. He hates being treated like he’s stupid. He hates anyone who grew up too easy, rich kids, seeing them as spoiled and entitled. He hates anyone who he sees as a bully. While he tries to be a good person, stand up for those who need it, ultimately he has a lot of hate and anger in him and fighting or skating seems to be the only release for that.


History:
“I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth!” -The Who (Substitute). Words that Brody can certainly relate too, growing up in one of the poorer areas of the city and raised by an alcoholic father, and a depressed, and pill addict mother, didn’t give him the easiest of upbringings. His mother worked as waitress, she was rarely home before his bedtime and saw her for maybe an hour a day if he was lucky. His father was constantly losing jobs mainly because of his heavy drinking. As a kid, he was always starving for attention, trying so hard for his parents to notice him at all but they were either too busy or too fucked up on something. He ended up spending a lot of time with his older cousin Zack who was a bit of a skate punk himself. Zack bought him his first skateboard when he was six and taught him everything he knew and it wasn’t long before a young Brody was out-skating kids twice his age.

His life changed when he was twelve, found his mom hanging in the bathroom overdosed on pills. He’s more than certain it was intentional; she’d taken way too many for it to have been accidental and she’d been gone far too long for the paramedics to do anything. He does feel guilty about how long it took him too call 911, but he’d been frozen in shock for a long while at the sight of his mother, blue, and lying lifeless on the bathroom floor. His dad blames him, he waited too long, if he hadn’t been such an idiot they could’ve brought her back and sometimes he really believes that. His dad got worse after that, drank more, got violent, and normally took out his anger on Brody whose hospital visits were often assumed to be from skateboarding.

Brody was a scrawny weird kid, picked on all the time for being poor, being weird, and for because back then he was just such an easy target. Eventually it inspired him to work out, he was going to make sure he wasn’t such an easy target, that he would be capable to fight back, against bullies and his father. By the time he reached high school Brody was capable of defending himself. His family business he keeps to himself, the other kids don’t know how his mom died and back then he went to a completely different school anyway. People who ask get told it was a car accident, and he tries not talk about his dad but most people know he’s a drunk just from gossip. He keeps all the times they’ve been evicted, eaten at soup kitchens, or stayed in shelters to himself, he already gets shit for being poor no reason to make that worse.

Brody likes to work out at the school gym, in fact he looks for just about any reason not to go home; never knowing what mood he’ll find his dad in, or whether or not they’ll be another eviction notice on the door. For a while he could crash with his cousin Zack but a couple years ago, his cousin went to prison; stabbed someone over a drug dispute guess he wasn’t quite the role mode Brody thought he was. For money, his dad collects some welfare and every now and then has a job, Brody works at a skate shop and sells weed and occasionally other “party drugs” to help out but generally stays away from anything too hard.

As for school, Brody usually has more pressing matters on his mind than homework or studying; like if he’s gonna have any dinner or even a place to sleep, so his grades aren’t great usually in the C or D range, passing by the skin of his teeth. He’s not dumb or lazy though, he wishes he could do better and actually really likes his science, english, and history classes. He feels destined to end up in shit jobs like his parents, he doesn’t really think he has the grades or money for college, but sometimes dreams about what it would be like to have a job that really matters; maybe a scientist or lawyer or a teacher. He’d like to make a difference in the world, be something better than his humble beginnings.


Other:
Absolutely loves classic rock, punk, ska, hip-hop, reggae, metal, and grunge music. Catcher in the Rye is both his favorite novels and one of the few he's even read more than once. He'll eat just about anything and will finish your food if you're not going to eat it. Brody loves hot sauce and will put it on almost anything. He'll do stupid stuff to impress people, especially girls; once at lunch he ate a Carolina Reaper and spent the rest of lunch puking in the trash and violently hiccuping until he was sent home. Most people think he's cheap as he tries not to let on just how poor his family is, and will try and avoid spending money things while at the same time he refuses to accept handouts. He hates math class, staying still for too long, and he's terrified of needles. He'd chose weed over booze anytime, though it took him a while to be able to try alcohol after so many years of seeing what it had done to his father, but now a days he's willing to indulge a little. He works at a skate shop a couple days a week, mostly for the discount and the chance to talk to people as obsessed with skating as he is and makes decent money selling mostly weed and the occasionally other "party drug."

More than anything thought, Brody loves skating, it's almost like the only therapy he's ever had. Skating is meditation; focusing his mind only on the present, the action and the muscle memory, his escape from thinking or worrying about his life and future. It taught him that when you fall you get back up and keep going and that there is reward in that. It gave him an identity, friends, and people he could be himself around. Without it he'd be much worse off, and he might not have had an outlet or escape. Any day he doesn't have a chance to skate is hard for him, he gets restless, temperamental, and makes it so much harder to deal with things. It's not just a hobby for him, it's his lifeline, the one constant thing he's had that makes things better.

Irene Meeks

Name: Irene Meeks
Age:16
Gender F
Role: Artist- Painter
Sexuality: Bisexual

Personality: Irene, who was advised by her parents her name was derived from the world of Sherlock Holmes, has tried to understand the world the same way her namesake has. By observing, understanding, and reacting to it. The results in her often not speaking much, but listening the world around her.

She realized her observations gave her a great insight into art, often painting things she's not exactly sure how to say. Often commenting on subjects she's experienced, witnessed, or even things she wants to understand for herself. Losing her mother at a young age resulted in her often becoming absorbed in other worlds, books, art, and lately graffiti. Choosing to take her messages to people who can see the beauty in her art, even if they choose not to go to a gallery.

Often has gotten herself into trouble with the adults who believe art should be one thing, and she needs to have a specific message. Irene's message was simple, she liked painting beautiful things...and if it gave people hope with just that, she was fine.

History: Irene grew up the child of a Librarian and a Comic book artist. So she was exposed to countless forms of literature, and art, so naturally when she started to do her own art. Her parents were only ecstatic to encourage it. She loved the idea of art creating these fantastic worlds where anything is possible. Her positive outlook was always something her peers found endearing about the fledgling artist.

Then the accident happened, and her attitude changed. Her mother was lost in the car crash and Irene just kind of drifted. Her outlook became much more withdrawn, often listening to instead of suggesting. Her father wasn't much help, he just went through the motions. Leaving Irene to try and keep the household going. She lost her gallery opportunities, the administrator politely telling Irene she just wasn't conveying anything worth saying.

Irene took that advice to heart, the next day, painting a furious muse on the gallery wall. Needless to say, the gallery banned her and blacklisted her in their town going forward from any showings. Her father, deciding to start again in a new town packed Irene up and moved. Yet Irene found something in street art that the gallery didn't let her feel, angry, she'd continue to paint the angry muses in their new town. She just made sure nobody caught her this time..

Her positive attitude began to slowly return, even painting on canvas' once again. Yet, the angry muses still appeared through her new town. Her father hopes maybe she'll eventually quit going her nightly "paint the town every color" activities before she's caught...

Brad Masters

Name: Brad Masters
Age: 16
Gender: All man, baby
Role: Football player (offensive lineman)

Personality: Brad is a winner - nothing else matters as long as he is the best, and the other person knows it. Brad goes to extreme lengths in order to secure his position as "the best," and if he can't be the best, he usually doesn't even try. His poor grades and the fact that he was nearly held back last year show this very well. This focus on being the greatest overshadows most other aspects of his life, to the point where he doesn't know what he wants to do when he's an adult, and he refuses to try anything that would hurt his image or challenge people he feel he has a chance of losing to.

His main outlet to try his best and earn the adoration that teenagers crave so much takes the form of football, which he has been doing since elementary school thanks to his father's encouragement. Every facet of his life not meant to improve his reputation around school is devoted to weightlifting, practice, and finding ways to put on more muscle mass. He plans all of his meals, and he only has two rest days a week, with people being able to find him in the school's weight room or the football field the vast majority of the time.

While he has an intense drive to be the best and it makes him a bit cocky when it comes to things he works at, Brad tries his best to be a kind person, especially since he is all brawn and little brain. It's less that he's charismatic, and more that he is always respectful and helpful to people - well, he is when they aren't on the field. While this initially started as a way to make himself popular and liked, he has found acting this way to be very enjoyable, and it has went from an act into an attitude. If you need help moving some furniture, just throw a 20 his way and Brad will help out. If you offer to do his homework or help him with a project, he'll do pretty much anything. Just don't try to do anything competitive, or he'll quickly change his tune.

While Brad is very protective over the things he is good at, he is more than willing to help people train - especially if they are far weaker than him and don't pose a threat to his status. Or, better yet, they ask for help in something he doesn't care about. He may suck at it, but he'll put in just as much effort into the group project as anyone else.

Other: Brad, while far from intelligent, carefully counts his calories and is very attention focused when it comes to finding ways to get stronger. He also is very adherent and disciplined, able to stick to a strict training program.

Brad is not necessarily attracted to women - he is instead interested in femininity as an ideal. He would rather date a cute trap that wears a skirt than a girl that wouldn't be caught dead in a dress.

Appearance

Brad typically dresses in either tank tops, form fitting shirts, or jerseys. They are all bright colors, and he especially favors greens, as those are the colors of the school. He usually wears jeans, but he carries a pair of sweatpants in his backpack at all times. His wardrobe is fairly small, all things considered.

Brad stands at 6'5, being especially tall for a kid his age - a needed asset when someone plays lineman. The picture above shows him during the summer, where he was on a cut in order to show off his musculature. He now weighs 260 pounds, and while he has a fair bit of body fat now, he is incredibly strong. His voice is deep, but it lacks any real edge - similar to what someone would expect from an old time radio announcer.

History: Brad Masters was born to a family of champions - and he was always the black sheep. While his older sister and brother skipped two grades (his brother even getting a scholarship from an ivy league school), Brad had always been below average academically. Even his younger sister, a middle schooler, has an easier time doing algebra than he does. As such, Brad was always seen as different from his siblings, and while they didn't feel that way, Brad always thought that they were disappointment in him. He lived his early elementary school years trying to hide his report cards and always hiding when the school calls home because of his grades.

It wasn't until he saw his father's football trophies when he realized that there was something he could try and go after, to prove himself. Every day, he would do body weight workouts and after a few months, he finally worked up the courage to ask his father to join the elementary school football team. Very rapidly, it was shown that Brad was very big for a kid his age - he was positive that football was his way to become popular and liked.

Brad adopted his "Nice guy" persona the first year of middle school. By this point, he had gone to dozens of games, and he was rapidly getting a big sense of pride. It wasn't until his second year of middle school that he lost a game, against the strongest team in that years league - the West Side Middle Tigers. The final score was 20-8. It was the final game of the season, and the loss had easily shattered Brad's sense of invincibility. His father was of course disappointment, but he never raised his voice or got angry with Brad. For some reason, that only made Brad feel worse.

It was then that he decided - if he ever lost as badly as he did that day, Brad would give up on football. More losses came, but the wins always exceeded them, and all the losses were extremely close. Brad's relationship with his siblings and parents grew better by the day, and his younger sister looked up to him as a role model. After winning a state game in his sophomore year of High school on the football team, Brad's father bought him a used truck, a precious tool that Brad treats with the utmost care. Now, it was time to start his Junior year.

Mina Thomas

_{{ "Growing up is losing some illusions, in order to acquire others." }}

---

Full Name:

Mina Nicole Thomas
_{└ Also known as Nickie}

Clique:

Jocks
_{└ Women's Basketball Team Captain}

Gender:

Female

Age:

Eighteen

Sexuality:

Bisexual

---

---

---

---

Looks:

Dark, thick locks of hair cascade down Mina's back and curls around her youthful face. Her skin is the color of peanut butter, and speckling her nose are freckles that are a darker brown than her skin. She'll usually cover these freckles, as well as any other blemishes, with a thin layer of concealer and foundation. She has a prominent nose and full lips that always look poised to speak something important. But her most compelling feature is her piercing brown eyes that can change from affection to aversion without notice. Mina stands at five feet and eight inches tall, and weighs in at around one hundred-sixty five pounds. She is also very toned and athletic, thanks to spending a good portion of her time exercising and playing ball.

Mina carries herself elegantly with good posture, long confident strides, and her head held high. Due to this and her love of high heels, she often looks taller than she really is. When smiling, you can see that she has two rows of perfectly white teeth, a slight overbite present. When it comes to her fashion sense, Mina surprisingly likes to keep it simple. When she isn't sporting her basketball uniform or track suit around school, you'll usually see her wearing pants or jeans, a plain T-shirt, and a pair of sneakers or heels. When it's cold, she'll swap the T-shirt out for a solid colored sweater or wear a black, leather jacket over top of it. Mina does not have any visible scarring, but does have one that does down the length of her thigh from a childhood incident.

Personality:

It is very clear that Mina is a genuinely friendly young woman. On the surface, she proves to be a very energetic and lively person. When she's with her friends she is rarely seen without a goofy grin on her face. She can be described as the bright ray of sunshine in a group, always trying her best to make others happy whether it be by giving them authentic compliments or cracking jokes. Many of her friends also describe her as adventurous and spontaneous; she's usually the one trying to get people to step out of their comfort zones and try something new. What most people don't realize, however, is how little they actually know about Mina. She has a tendency to be a bit "two-faced," and is great at socially accommodating when around different groups of people in an attempt to be liked by everyone. Some call it "fake," while Mina just calls it adapting.

Mina's intelligence is mostly based on her determination to succeed; all throughout grade school, she has studied more than the average student in order to "stay ahead of the game," as she likes to say. She's very articulate and observant, tending to notice things about people that they may not even be consciously aware of themselves. With the aid of her eloquence, Mina is very manipulative, like her mother, and finds joy in getting others to do as she pleases. Another trait she inherited from her mother is her love for the finer things such as flashy jewelry and expensive shoes. As a result, she is a bit of a kleptomaniac and takes things without thinking. She does not like to talk about her own personal life, instead preferring to hear about the lives of everyone else. She's very blunt and straightforward, and doesn't hesitate to put someone in their place. She also has anger issues and a bunch of pent up frustration; when pushed to her limit, she will blow up at whoever is nearby.

Other:

She's in love with old school Hip-hop, always wears bright orange nail polish, and is deathly allergic to raspberries.

History:

Mina Thomas was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, the youngest of three girls, to single mother Andrea Thomas, a community college professor. Because of her mother's busy schedule, Mina and her sisters spent most of their time being looked after by their Grandmother in Harlem. Because of this, the sisters never quite formed a strong relationship with their mom, and always preferred to chill with Grandma rather than awkwardly "hang out" with their mother. While her sisters eventually grew out of this phase, Mina never really did. While the two older girls were out partying on Friday nights, Mina would be curled up in the house with her Grandma watching old episodes of In the Heat of the Night, Good Times, and Sanford and Son.

Unlike her older sisters, Mina was extremely introverted growing up, and never made friends very easily. She'd spend most of her time, if not with Grandma, outside at the basketball court shooting hoops. It wasn't until she was eleven that her Grandmother finally convinced her to try out for the school basketball team. It was after making the team that she finally started to break out of her shell. As she grew older, her basketball skills improved greatly, as well as her social skills. She'd started to spend more and more time playing ball or hanging out with her teammates, and less time staying home with Grandma. When Mina was fourteen years old, her grandmother passed away from a heart attack; The whole family was crushed, but nobody was as upset as Mina was. It it wasn't for that wise old lady, she wouldn't be who she was today.

The Thomas family moved upstate right before Mina's freshman year of high school; her mother had received a job offer that was too good to pass up. To say that the young lady was nervous about the move would be an understatement; part of her was worried that she would go right back to being the shy, timid girl she was in elementary and middle school. Thankfully, this did not happen. Motivated by her grandmother, Mina tried out for the women's basketball team, and soon earned a spot on the varsity squad. Now, in her Senior year of high school, Mina has not only earned the spot of team captain, but has also received multiple offers from colleges all over the country.

She stands about five foot seven and weighs approximately one-hundred and twenty-two pounds. She has a butterfly tattoo on her wrist and a heart with devil horns on her ankle. She has two piercings in her two lower earlobes and a belly button piercing, too. She has a one of a kind style and dares anyone to match her when it comes to fashion. She tends to wear anything of the latest fashion trend, everything being colored coordinated to her taste. She wears blouses, mostly and you'll never find her in anything other than that. Along with her blouses, she has an array of skirts and pants along with heels to match.

Personality:

When you hear the name of Dominique Saunders, you wouldn't think that she'd be the successor of the Queen Bee role but even her popular friends were a bit surprised, too. She is a very ambitious and confident individual and aspires everyone to be the best that they can be and don't try to impress someone just to fit in. She cannot stand someone who tries a little too hard to fit in somewhere they don't. She doesn't hesitate to share valuable advice to anyone that asks though as she will be as honest as she can be even she does have to be a bit brutal with her words. When it comes to talking to Dominique, you better be ready for a quick comeback because she is very quick witted with her words. Dominique will say something that will leave the simplest minded person astonished.

Ever since she stepped within the halls of Vinehurst high, she always had to perfect mix of sass and sweetness towards others. She is very cunning, always lurking in the background and acting like she didn't hear anything when she really did. Though, she doesn't spread the gossip until asked or if she truly hates the person that it is about. She doesn't like to treat people like shit and is actually pretty nice towards others - Just do not touch her and you'll be fine and survive within Vinehurst High. Dominique will not make her friends or any other popular feel less important than what she is. If she if isn't bored by your presence then she'll be your best friend for life, your ride or die chick and there is nothing her friends, especially the popular, can ask for that she will not give them.

History:

Dominique was born on a bright and beautiful day, seventeen years ago. She was born to two wonderful parents, James Saunders, who is a politician in New York and her mother Heather Saunders, who is a Lawyer in New York. Dominique was the only child for about a year and had received almost everything parents could get a few months old babies. It was ridiculous now that she thinks about it as a baby doesn't need as many things that she had gotten. Her brother, Tristan was born that year and though she wasn't jealous or anything, she liked the idea of having a younger sibling. Dominique and Tristan were and still is equally intelligent and bright for their age. Dominique has always shown a passion for fashion so her parents didn't hesitate to let her creativity show by taking her to the local fashion studio, where she expressed some of her original ideas. A well-known fashion designer soon came about and signed her to their label. She was stoked and ecstatic and immediately accepted the offer. Her parents and brother were proud of her, too until they realized how much she'd miss because of constantly going to fashion shows and other modeling events so they hired her a teacher to help her out on the road and such.

As the years went by and they were fun from all of the fashion shows, even some acting gigs and even hanging out with a few friends, she finally told the fashion designer that she wanted to enjoy her teenage life within the high school. Her high school years were and still are some of the best years of her life and she will not hesitate to tell anyone that. She adores being around her peers and fellow Royals and it surely shows as she was always inviting them over her house and even hosting parties on the beach and such. She was picked for the Queen Bee role by the previous Queen and King Bee of Vinehurst High. She was a bit surprised since she didn't think that she was the perfect fit for the role. But the senior and graduating Royals accepted her as if she was already the Queen Bee of the school. Dominique is finally a Senior and enjoyed her Summer, partying and laying back but also taking a trip to the beach and even hanging out at the shopping outlets with her friends.

Though when she came back home, she was stunned by the news of her mother and father getting a divorce. She eventually went and stayed at a nearby hotel for a while, hoping that it was all a dream but it wasn't. She returned home to accept the news again and she was to stay with her mother as her brother was to go with his father. They both were crushed and devastated but had to accept reality right before their eyes and just go their separate ways. Dominique doesn't intend on letting this news crush her or her crown as she still walks with her head held high at Vinehurst High.

Calien King

↫♛↬



♛ Name ♛
Calien King

♛ Age ♛
15

♛ Gender ♛
Female (MtF Transgender)

♛ Role ♛
Weeb

♛ Sexuality ♛
Lesbian

♛ Personality ♛

Calien is pretty easy to get along with. No matter who you are, she’ll gladly hang out, or smoke with you, or hook you up with someone who’s got good weed. She’s quiet and kind of introverted, but very friendly when you talk to her. Spending time with her is a laid-back affair; she’s happy to just talk, play video games, or get high. Despite her low-intensity nature, she can absolutely go off talking forever if the topic is something she’s passionate about, like music or anime.

You may not notice after meeting her once or twice, but Calien is kind of an enigma. She rarely talks about her life outside of school, doesn’t have any close friends, and doesn’t invite anyone over. This has led to plenty of theories spread around about her personal life, none of them either confirmed or denied. She just never really talks about herself. She’s the kind of person nearly everyone knows of, but no one really knows.

♛ Other ♛

↬ She’s not out to anyone (as gay or as trans). It’s kind of easy to guess but she’ll deny it to the death.
↬ She has a huge love for anime, manga, J-dramas, and Japanese culture in general. She attends conventions as much as time and budget allows, and she’s even trying to learn Japanese so she can visit eventually.
↬ Her favorite anime series (at the moment, at least) are My Hero Academia, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, and Mob Psycho 100. She’s a big fan of action and adventure shows.
↬ She sings and plays ukulele as a hobby. She does it a lot at home but is too shy to play in front of anyone.
↬ Another hobby of hers is drawing, mostly comics and character designs. She’s not a master, but she has a passion for it.
↬ She has a cat named Tuxedo Mask. Naturally, he’s a tuxedo cat.

Good Boy

♛ Appearance ♛

Androgynous is the operative word when describing Calien’s looks. She looks like the exact midpoint between a guy and a girl, basically. She’s not particularly short or tall, with a thin, lanky build and soft, youthful features. She has pale skin with scattered dark freckles. Her eyes and hair are both dark brown, but her hair is bleached nearly white and dyed pastel pink. Her hair is cut short and has a wavy texture.

Wardrobe-wise, she dresses very simply; sweaters, skinny jeans, bomber jackets, beanies, t-shirts (usually with band or anime logos), etc. She almost always wears neutral colors or earth-tones. The brightest colors you’ll usually see her wear are part of the designs on her shirts; everything else will generally be black, grey, olive green, or the occasional dark red. She's also got piercings in both ears and her nose.

Sick Look

♛ History ♛

For a good portion of her life, Calien was a pretty normal kid, if a bit introverted. Really, the biggest problem she had to deal with was the fact that, back then, she was a he. She never really felt like she related to the boys she knew, and being called a boy didn’t feel quite right. She pretty much ignored her feelings until she was in middle school, when she learned that being transgender was a thing. Suddenly, it all made sense.

Unlike what one might expect, after making this discovery about herself, Calien only withdrew more. While she was more confident in who she was inside, anxiety about her social life only grew. This anxiety led her to avoid building relationships deeper than the surface level. That leaves out dating completely, of course. Her plan is to wait until she’s publicly out of the closet before trying to get close to anyone.

Her home life, again, she keeps a secret, but it may have been part of the reason for the death of her social life. Why else would she be so cagey about it, right?

s e x u a l i t y

closeted homosexual - tries too hard to be straight

r o l e

football captain - go vipers!

»»————-　★　————-««

»»————-　★　————-««

p e r s o n a l i t y

Tanner feels like he has an image to uphold. Being the captain of the football team, and the local pastor's son, a lot of eyes are on him. Mostly, the eyes of his peers, and his teammates. Being quite religious, though, he feels like he holds himself to a certain standard. As a result, he doesn't like his teammates or any of his other friends being assholes. Tanner is actually very sweet and caring, though because of some of the ruder jocks he hangs around, almost nobody thinks he is. He doesn't bother with fighting the rumors either, because he feels like there's better things he could be doing. Like keeping up with his grades, or practicing football.

Tanner will speak up when his friends are being assholes, especially if things get physical. Surprisingly, even though he's captain of the football team, he blends into the background among his fellow teammates. He's more on the quiet side, though he has a funny and witty side. He can be a very playful and charming individual, the one reason he's such a good captain. He's able to connect with people, and it helps that he's good with words and at communication. Though, that charisma tends to go away when faced with somebody he actually likes. He finds it hard to speak properly, and may have a red face when around a person he's crushing on. Which is why he has to avoid any crushes at all costs.

He's also very driven and determined. Once he puts his mind to something, he won't quit until it's done. He does not procrastinate at all. He hates waiting to finish something that needs to be done. As a result, he's academically successful, and responsible. He's always on time, and most of the time, early to everything. He's pretty sure of himself, but there is some doubt and insecurity, because of his sexuality and religion. Once he feels attracted to a guy, he'll try to avoid that guy at all costs. Which is hard, since some of his teammates are very cute. It's a struggle.

If Tanner sees somebody upset, or struggling with something, he won't hesitate to help. He doesn't care who is around or who sees. He feels like his place on Earth is to be a good person, and part of that is caring about others. He tries his best to do the right thing, but everybody makes mistakes. He tries to not get hung up on the fact he's attracted to guys, but his pastor father does sometimes get into his head, and he wonders if something is wrong with him. He'll deny vehemently that he's gay, fearing that maybe, God won't love him. The weird thing is, he accepts everybody else, but he struggles to accept himself. He tries really hard to not "act gay" or to be straight, so, he may go along with gross comments about girls/women his teammates make, or even make some himself. He never feels proud afterward, but he fears somebody finding out the truth.

a p p e a r a n c e

Tanner looks like the charming boy next door type. He has a boyish smile and grin, his eyes always smiling along with his mouth. He stands at an even 6'0, with broad shoulders and a small waist, giving him a dorito-shaped torso. He's very fit and lean because of playing football for most of his life, and his skin is an almost contact tan color. He has short, dirty blonde hair that he parts to the side, his bangs fluffing enough that they never touch his forehead. He has shocking blue eyes, only being made more noticeable by his long, dark eyelashes and his light-colored eyebrows.

Tanner likes to wear jeans, graphic-tees, button-ups, hoodies, and sneakers. He almost always has his varsity jacket on, no matter the weather. Sometimes, he'll go without it, but it's rare. He's proud of being the captain of the Vipers football team and he enjoys showing that pride. He keeps his clothes casual and comfortable. The item he always has on, no matter what, is a plain golden cross necklace. He has a couple scars from being too rough as a child, and a nasty one on his right arm, from where he broke his arm during a game a couple years ago.

h i s t o r y

Tanner's life is a reflection of a middle class white boy's. He grew up with a father who's the pastor of the local church, and a mother who was a stay at home mom. When he was eight, his mother gave birth to a girl, giving him a little sister named Tabitha. She prefers Tabby but Tanner likes to call her Tabitha to poke fun at her. They even have a golden retriever. The only thing they lack is a white picket fence. Obviously, Tanner grew up in a very religious household. They went to church every Sunday and he watched his father spit words of fire and brimstone, they prayed before every meal, and before they went to bed. They were involved in every church program, and Tanner went to Sunday school three nights a week.

The thing is, Tanner loves the religion. He's in the choir and he goes to every event that he's able to. He's a devout Christian, something his parents, especially his father, are very proud of. Yet, there's a big secret he keeps: he's gay. He realized it when he was young, when he was in the locker room and couldn't stop staring at the other boys. It resulted in an embarrassing situation. He has kept his mouth shut about it ever since, because he doesn't want his family finding out. He has read the Bible more times than he count, and what he has taken away from it is that God is loving and accepting.

Tanner doesn't hate himself, but he does wish he wasn't gay. It would make his life easier. He fears his family finding out, so he pretends to be straight the best he can. He also avoids anything feminine or any feminine mannerisms, in fear his dad would notice. His father is the type of pastor that believes any sin is going to get somebody into Hell, but especially homosexuality. Tanner doesn't like that at all, but the one time he was fourteen and told his dad God is accepting of everybody, his Dad sat him down and forced him write multiple Bible verses a hundred times. The next day, his hand was so stiff, he couldn't hold the football. After that, Tanner doesn't challenge his dad, but he is getting tired of his father's judgmental and hateful ways.

Tanner's Relationships

»»————-　★　————-««
♥ romantic interest || ☻ friend/positive impression || ☁ acquaintance/neutral impression || ☠ enemy/negative impression

☻ Kurt Moretti ☻
"Kurt is... Kurt, hahaha. He's kind of a butt-hole, but that won't stop me from helping him."
Tanner has experienced Kurt's unpleasant attitude, but that doesn't deter him from talking to him during their shared gym class, or slipping him protein shakes and other little goodies during the day. Tanner likes Kurt, and stands up for him against the people who are prone to bullying.

☁ James Solomon Gershowitz ☁
"Sol is... he seems pretty cool, honestly. Funny dude."
Tanner doesn't know Sol all that well, but when he does see him, he's usually smiling and making somebody laugh. That makes Tanner like him. While they haven't really talked, Tanner wouldn't mind befriending him one day. It's just hard, considering high school exceptions of different cliques.

☁ Briella Dominguez ☁
"I admire Bree for the fact she can step outta her own group."
Tanner hasn't talked much to Bree, just passing greetings and small talks. He knows a lot of people think she's kind of a b-word, but he tries to not take people at face value. He'd have to get to know her better but, so far, his impression of her is leaning more towards the positive side.

☻♥ Lucifer Weston ♥☻
"Ahaha, his name... even with my religious ties, I kind of love it? Or, uh... like it, I mean. But, I don't like anything else about Lightbringer! Or... Lucy... ugh, crap."
What a freaking crush Tanner has on this little Satan. Which is completely ironic, considering his name and how religious Tanner is. Tanner greatly admires the fact he's out and proud, and he'll go out of his way to say hello to him if his fellow teammates aren't around.

☁ Sierra Christine Jameson ☁
"I don't know Sierra all that well. I've seen her in passing, and she's almost always rolling her eyes... which is kind of funny, actually."
Tanner doesn't have much of an impression of Sierra. He hasn't really talked to her, and only has heard rumors, which he doesn't listen to anyway.

☁ Brody Keegen Sullivan ☁
"Brody seems really funny and chilled. I've seen some of his skate moves, too. Pretty sick."
Tanner doesn't know Brody that well, but he has seen him acting up, and skating. Those two things alone makes Tanner think he's a pretty cool dude.

☁ Billie Jean Amano Jenkins ☁
"I've seen some of Billie's artwork, and wow."
Tanner doesn't know Billie at all, but he has caught a glimpse of her artwork. It was amazing. He was very impressed, telling her that, but that's about the only interaction they've had.

☁ Irene Meeks ☁
"Irene is another amazing artist, like... I sometimes wish I had that type of talent."
Tanner has a similar view of Irene as he does Billie. Tanner sees Irene as another amazing artist, having caught glimpses of her artwork, and letting her know it. He admires somebody who has creative talent like that.

☻♥ Brad Masters ♥☻
"This guy is my best friend. He's freaking awesome. One of the best players on the team. Probably the best, honestly."
Oh, man. Tanner considers Brad his best friend ever. They do spend a lot of time together, and they have a common love of football and keeping fit. Tanner goes to Brad often for tips on staying healthy or the right form for a new move. It helps Brad is really cute... but, Tanner loves him as a friend and brother, and nothing more. Seriously.

☁ Mina Nicole Thomas ☁
"I don't know Mina well, but she seems really sweet. Oh, and she kicks butt at basketball! I've been a few games, and wow!"
Tanner immediately has a good impression of anybody who can play a sport well. Especially somebody who appears very nice and friendly. As a result, he has a more positive impression of Mina, and has no trouble giving passing hellos or having small talk with her.

☻ Dominique Porsha Saunders ☻
"Domi is my girl. I love spending time with her. She's just... really amazing."
Tanner likes Dominique and her strong personality. He enjoys her sass, and it often makes him laugh, even when it's directed towards him. If he wasn't gay, he knows he would have went for her. He wishes he was attracted to her like that, but alas. He enjoys being her best friend. Domi is his girl, and he adores her.

☁ Calien King ☁
"The few times I've passed Calien in the hall, she seems friendly. She is kind of quiet, though."
Tanner wouldn't mind getting to know Calien better. He thinks she seems nice, and laid back, though he isn't so sure. He has passed her in the hallways many times, but has never done nothing more than just smiled at her if he caught her eye.

☻"♥" Katia Corriveau "♥"☻
"Katia is... wow. I adore her. She's my best friend, and... I'm lying to her. I don't deserve her..."
Tanner is using Katia as his beard. He's dating her to benefit his image, to prove he is not gay, and that he's completely straight. So straight, he's dating a hot cheerleader. He feels super horrible about it, because he truly does care about Katia, and sees her as a sister. Which makes this all so much worse (and awkward). He doesn't want to lose her, but he feels like he's leading her on, too. He truly believes he doesn't deserve her.

☁ Innes Stingray ☁
"Uh, Innes... really gives "keeping to yourself" a new meaning. I rarely see him, and when I do, he smells like cigarettes."
Honestly, Tanner doesn't know what to think about Innes. He doesn't see Innes often, and when he does, Innes is by himself. He has tried to say hello to him, and got a cold shoulder in return. He doesn't let that affect his opinion of Innes, though, and instead, is mostly confused by him.

[BlackDragonSol]

The Stoic

Name: Innes Stingray

Age: Eighteen

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Asexual

Romantic Values: Heteroromantic, although may just be Aromantic.

Role: Aspiring Actor, Stoic Loner.

Personality:
Cold as ice, Innes isn't the kindest sort of person and goes about every day in an apathetic rotation. Tedium is oft something he finds himself encountering, not through lack of a challenge, but due to a nihilistic view of life. Personally believing that effort is meaningless, he never gives anything 100% unless it does truly interest him, and thankfully he does seem to have hobbies just like any other sort of normal human being. The majority of which running into occasionally gaming and looking over old play scripts, specifically that of Shakespearean origin. Besides all that, he keeps to himself, generally being a bit more of a shadow in the background than the whole being in the foreground. His quiet nature is sort of a detriment on being a target for bullies, and more often than not they won't get much of a reaction.

When it comes to problems, Innes overall just views it as tedious: either finding some unorthodox way of dealing with it, or by sleeping it off. When it comes to a repeated problem that can be solved by getting violent, Innes will fight - particularly with the aim to leave as much scars, physical or mental as possible provided school faculty doesn't help or peaceful solutions don't work. So if pushed far enough, Innes' released fury could be the last stand to a manner of defense. Academically overall, his worst class is math, and his best is the rest overall, but the most shining examples would be history, reading, and chemistry.

Other: His preferred brand of cigarettes (yes, he smokes) is Marlboro Southern Cut. On occasion if he's late to class, it's likely that he asked to walk just outside of campus to light one.

He's fond of: Some goddamn peace and quiet and people who understand the meaning behind it.

He hates: Squealing girls, and pep rallies because of them. People with their egos bigger than their actual range of abilities.

Appearance:
Artist Credit: Range Murata
Innes stands at an average build weighing it at roughly 175 lbs and standing at a taller-than-average height of 6'2. An "early bloomer" as folks would put it, he has already shown signs of growing facial hair, and looking roughly older than most of his classmates. On occasion to some of the meeker students, he could be credited as an imposing or intimidating figure and has the looks to him. With jet black hair and eyes reflecting the icy attitude and demeanor he possesses. He has no distinguishable features, and were it not for his tall height, he could easily blend into the crowd. Commonly Innes' style of dress would be formal to semi-formal, wearing a nice suit which makes him seem more rich and spoiled than a bit of a hardened delinquent.

History:
Special Note: I have sent Innes' rough backstory to OP, and I will keep his backstory secret to others 'lest they wish to be spoiled.

Growing up in the Midwest initially before moving to New York with a family friend after getting expelled for a fight, Innes is a bit of a new person that nobody has known about. The injuries he caused in the fight included a shattered left ribcage and some trauma dealt to what was his fellow student, who according to Innes has shaved his head and changed his name and transferred schools. How Innes came to blows with him, it was never said, and he had gotten off lightly due to having influential and somewhat wealthy parents. They hoped sending him to New York would mellow him out due to his fondness of Broadway productions. The plan had worked to a degree, with Innes having shown an appreciation for the arts almost as much as having a fondness for getting into fights. Considering he hasn't been open about his past, what other amount of time before he came up to New York is yet to be found out.

What he did tell however, was plain and simple. He grew up in the Midwest, had two parents, and a few sisters. He didn't make a lot of friends, if any when moving to Vinehurst High School for education

(This will be updated the more people learn of his story.)

[Metronome]

Luca Petulengro

Age: 17
Gender: Male
Clique: New kids
Nationality: Romani / German
Sexuality: Asexual

Personality: Luca is a sweet kid, but he's very timid and shy. His meek demeanor makes it difficult for him to stand out in any kind of crowd, or to be heard in a sea of loud, teenage voices. Luca's tone of voice is almost always just barely above a whisper; below the normal volume but loud enough to be heard in a quiet room. That, mixed with his German accent, make him difficult to understand.

Luca is very easily intimidated, particularly by men, and even more particularly by men bigger than him. Being that he's not very big himself, this means almost half of his peers. Part of the reason he's being enrolled in public school is to help him overcome such social anxieties. Having never had the chance to truly be socialized in his short life, Luca majorly lacks the ability to cope with his people-induced fears. He is also somewhat emotionally stunted from the years of abuse and lack of socialization. There may be some instances where he seems almost childlike; typically when he's afraid. Which is always. Luca has all the bravado of a trembling chihuahua.

Another one of his glaring personality issues is his lack of self esteem and sense of worth. While this is something his adoptive parents have been working on with him, it's still easy to see in his day to day interactions. It's not something he's bound to get over quickly.

Appearance: Luca is 5"6' with a lean, muscular build. Having spent the past several years of his life doing hard manual labor on a farm, he's in pretty good shape. He has short, dark brown hair, brown eyes, and copper tone skin. He has a little facial hair, which is usually kept neatly trimmed. Luca doesn't have any piercings or tattoos, but his back and arms are marred with scars from beatings he took while working on the farm. Because of this, he often wears long sleeves. If it didn't get too warm in the summer, he would probably wear sweaters all year round. As it is, he can almost always be found sporting multiple layers of clothes.

Other: Luca doesn't like being touched. The only people he's comfortable coming in contact with are his adopted parents, and that took several months to achieve. If someone puts a hand on his shoulder or hugs him, he'll freeze up like a statue. It's something he's working on, along with many other things.

Luca is bilingual. He speaks German and English fluently. He can also kind of muddle through a few other European languages, having traveled around in his youth.

Luca's adoptive parents are very active in the local church. So, naturally, Luca is as well. He was a bit of a celebrity among the congress for a while, as the church had been donating hundreds of dollars a month to get him into the states. His story was blasted all over pamphlets, handouts, and posters asking for help. The attention was pretty jarring at first. But, luckily, it died down.

History: Luca was a happy, energetic child that lived among a large family of oldschool traditional, traveling Romani. They made a living by selling wood workings, crafts, hand made pottery, and other novelties. His family could get a bit rowdy with a few drinks, but they were good people.

Unfortunately, not everyone saw it that way. Luca learned from a young age not to stray from his family's campground. The locals of the towns they visited, which were typically small and rural, didn't always appreciate their presence. Most places put up with them until they left, but it was when they reached a small town in Germany that their band was met with retaliation. The mayor of the town called immigrant authorities on them, having them rounded up, arrested, and deported.

Some of Luca's family fled, and some were captured and removed. But in the chaos, Luca was separated from them. At the tender age of 9, the boy was left to fend for himself. He was fortunate to have the basic survival skills needed to travel alone to the nearest significant city. There, he lived on the streets until he was 11. The two winters he suffered were long and hard. Then, one spring, a farmer approached him. He offered him work in return for food and shelter. He had no intent of paying Luca, making the transaction completely illegal and slavery by definition. But Luca was a desperate, naive child, so he agreed.

Luca worked long, grueling hours on the farm. He did anything asked of him, from herding livestock to picking crops, to clearing the crawlspace under the barn. He was never allowed to come into the house, and was made to sleep in the barn, with one of the supply rooms serving as his quarters. Although he was no longer freezing to death or starving, he was still miserable. The farmhands took to tormenting him, calling him a dirty gypsy boy while he did the work they refused to. If Luca ever tried to defend himself, he was beaten until he learned to keep his mouth shut.

It was during these hard years of his life that Luca reflected on his mother's teachings of God. Before, he had never given it much thought. But laying in the straw that was his bed, aching from the day's work, faith made it possible to pull through. He snuck off of the farm one day to visit a bookstore in town. He had scraped together just enough money laying around to buy a Bible. He would hide it under the hay in the barn loft, because he knew if the farmhands found it, they would take it from him. He would only read it by moonlight. It was difficult, as he was practically illiterate, but over the years, it got easier.

Reading the Bible helped him endure years of abuse at the hands of his 'employers'. He was 15 when a couple of Christian missionaries happened to come to the farm to buy fresh produce. They saw the boy in such poor, filthy living conditions. After pulling him aside to speak with him, hearing his story, they couldn't leave him there. By this point, Luca had become so accustom to his loss of freedom that when the farmer refused to relinquish him to the missionaries, he didn't even fight it. It didn't occur to him that he didn't actually belong to the man and his awful farmhands.

The missionaries went to the law. Police came to the farm and demanded that Luca be set free, eventually arresting the farmer for unlawful imprisonment and several workers for their treatment of the boy. Knowing that Luca was destined to wind up in an already overloaded foster system, the missionaries decided that they would, somehow, take the boy home with them.

It wasn't easy. Getting the papers together to migrate an undocumented minor across the ocean took months. Luckily, the Pearsons didn't give up. Mr. Pearson, an engineer, went back to the US to work up enough funds to, aided with donations from the church, make it possible. His wife, meanwhile, lived in Germany with the boy until they would finally make the adoption official and bring him to his new home.

The Pearsons had never been able to have children of their own, so when Luca fell into their laps, they felt as though it was destiny. Getting the boy accustomed to a normal life had it's bumps in the road. He was desperately behind on his education, and had to take long classes with a private tutor to get mostly caught up. This was accompanied by staggering medical and therapy bills. The Pearsons knew they wanted him to be able to live as normally as possible, and that meant getting him to interact with people his own age; his peers. They decided to try sending him to a public school once they felt he was ready.

Luca ended up joining in the middle of the semester, as he still had a few academic tests to pass before he could be properly enrolled. As it is, almost all of the classes he's taking are remedial. But, he's anxiously looking forward to the first day of Big Boy school. (and trying not to shit himself)

Hannah thinks she's the hottest thing to ever walk the halls of Vinehurst High. She walks with confidence, knowing all eyes are on her. She's gorgeous, after all. She has soft, brown hair that falls in waves down to her shoulders. Sometimes, she'll make the waves more dramatic with a curling iron. She has big, brown eyes, with long lashes, that she has to simply bat to get what she wants. Her skin is a dark tan all year around, smooth and free of blemishes. She makes sure she never has acne or a hair out of place. She takes amazing care of herself, working hard to keep her body lean and fit, and her work shows.

She makes sure her outfits are always on point. She wears the newest styles, with colors that go with her skin tone and makes her eyes pop. She's almost always in heels, unless she's cheerleading, but even then, she has a pair to put on after. She doesn't believe in flats or sneakers, until it's cheer time. She always has her hair down, because putting it up pulls at the skin on her face, which could cause wrinkles sooner. She wears light make-up, but prefers her natural beauty to show through. She knows all the guys want her, and all the girls want to be her.

𝓟ersonality

If somebody looked up "mean" in the dictionary, Hannah's face would be scowling back at them. She has a sharp tongue, that lashes backhand compliments like she's mentioning the weather. She acts like she's sweet and somebody's friend, but it's all an act. In reality, she's scowling behind their back, being the two-faced cunt she has always been since middle school. She even goes as far to hug and kiss people's cheeks, pretending to be something she isn't in an attempt to get them to spill their secrets to her. So she can spread them around.

She gossips a lot. Usually, it's in the form of a "concerned friend," so nobody catches on to her lies. She loves drama, and feeds off of it. She will spread a fake rumor, just to start a fight between two girls, or to make two guys punch it out. She loves knowing she caused a friendship to break, or a couple to break up. Especially if she wants the guy for herself. Hannah goes through guys like used tissues, and when she sets her eyes on somebody, they are hers. She will do anything to get the guy, and if he has a girlfriend, she will find a way to break them up to snatch the guy up. She loves to have a new piece of arm candy monthly, sometimes bi-monthly.

She is very controlling and bossy. She has to lead, and if she isn't, she's pissed. Being part of the cheerleading squad, and not being the captain, really pisses her off. For now, though, she's smiling, but she will have that position. She can't stand other girls who think they're hot shit. Because Hannah is the best of the best. She loves boys, and will laugh at every stupid joke, and touch them a lot. Though, any boys that aren't jocks or preps, she looks down on. Though, she likes to tease them. She'll pretend to be interested in guys she thinks of as lesser, leading them on, before crushing their hopes. As for girls that aren't preps or jocks, she's just outright mean to them.

If she isn't the center of attention, she gets very upset. She loves all eyes on her. She will be the loudest, or sexiest, or smartest, just to get attention. Which, actually, she's really smart. But, she doesn't show it a lot, because guys like dumb girls, right? She will change her behavior just to catch a guy's eye. She's lazy, too, not wanting to do physical work unless it's working out. She might break a nail, after all. She much prefers paying somebody to do the hard work, while she sits back and takes the credit. In a group project, she will take control, and she will do the least amount of work. Overall, Hannah is all about herself. She's selfish, she wants everyone to fear and love her, and she hates people who won't talk to her, or talk bad about her. She is a mean girl.

𝓗istory

Hannah hasn't had many problems her whole life. She grew up in a big city, Los Angeles to be exact. Her father was a hotshot lawyer, providing their family with enough money to live lavishly. Her mother didn't have a job, yet she was gone a lot, resulting in Hannah being raised by a nanny. Hannah never had a close relationship to her parents, yet she got any and everything she asked for. As an only child, she grew up very spoiled, and didn't understand what it meant to go without. She always felt like she was better than everyone else, going to the best private schools, having the newest and latest fashions in her closet, and the newest and latest cars in her driveway before she was fifteen.

At thirteen, she moved to NYC, her father's job demanding it. It was a pretty upstate town, and she hated it. Sure, it had a view of the ocean, but it wasn't like LA. With its sunny beaches and private schools. Now, she had to share the halls with... poor people. She was none too happy, and complained a lot to her parents, until finally, her father told her to shut up, that she wouldn't get her way this once. She pouted, and for her efforts, she was given the shiniest BMW money could buy. She adjusted, slowly, and realized she enjoyed taking advantage of people lower than her. So, she began to make "friends," spreading rumors about them in secret, controlling the halls, and being mean to the girls she didn't like. In Vinehurst High, she only got worse, and began stealing guys from other girls. She enjoyed finding out who a girl liked, and taking that guy away from her. Now, she hasn't changed a bit, and she's still just as mean, if not worse.
