[OOC] The Coffee Shop of Whiteboroughs University

[QueenNugget]

The Coffee Shop of Whiteboroughs University

Being in college is tough.

From all the expenses, to, well, the expenses, racking up debt is as easy as falling asleep, especially at a spend thrifty campus like this, where there are many different stores that happen to attract the eye of the college student. Whiteboroughs University is your average sized community college located in the hot and dusty Arizona, accepting those from all over the world who major in many different subjects, a place where diversity thrives, and the students are well known for being eccentric and quirky, and not to mention, kind of broke.

There is a variety of different jobs offered on campus, from Uber drivers to librarians, it ranges terrifically, but by far the most popular place to work is the convenient, and open 24 hours, coffee shop of Whiteboroughs University. Being only a small hole in the wall business, this coffee shop is surprisingly known across the area, bringing in all sorts of customers that lead to many different interactions, to where it creates its own rather unique community, but the best times are those you have with your other fellow employees, and even better, while working the night shift.

From 10 to 3 A.M, you and several other people work this small but cozy building, taking orders from random college students that you couldn’t fathom why they are up that late at night, but money is money, says the manager, who you never actually see. It’s pretty quiet at night, there aren’t too many people bustling around at this time, so it’s basically just you and your small crew of staff members, there to take on the night.

Ursula

Name: Ursula Dratch

21/female

Ethnicity: Canadian, Recently moved to America

Sexuality: Openly Questioning

Year: Year 2

---

Appearance: Ursula is more or less your basic college girl who never seemed to grow out of her highschool goth phase. She stands at around 5'6, and has an average build with a weight of 130lbs. She has fair skin, from living in the cold climate of northern Saskatchewan, however her skin gains some freckles when touched by the sun.

Her hair is bleached blonde, and falls just above her shoulders, it's minorly shaggy, but not unkempt. She always has a thick eyeliner wing, and a dark lipstick colour to match. Her clothing and accessories are dark as well, almost always wearing some form of black with a secondary colour.

Have a Reference

Personality: Ursula is quiet, often keeping to herself. She would prefer a good book over people any day of the week, though she's not afraid to insert herself into a conversation if she hears something she doesn't like. However she's friendly enough, people just need to get to know her. She's your average lazy millennial, glad to take the graveyard shift because it means she can make money for slacking off, even if she has to sacrifice sleep to do so.

Backstory: Ursula was born into a nice nuclear family, with herself, brother, and parents. In her young age her father soon became deadbeat, and at best she heard from him a few times a year, which was less than pleasant. Her relationship with her mother was strained, and while she can now recognize it as a misunderstanding on her part, she always felt patronized and babied by her mom. Her family stayed in Canada most of her life, only moving once or twice. It wasn't until finishing highschool her mother decided it was time for a change, and being financially dependent on her mom, Ursula had no choice but to follow. She decided to study literature at Whiteboroughs University in spite of her mother, though she never really knew her mother's view on literature in the first place...

Other: Usually found carrying a large, almost tome like book.

Vinh "Jules" Do

Vinh "Jules" Do

_{Keep on runnin', runnin'
5'11 ◆ 19 ◆ Male}

Ethnicity

Vietnamese

Sexuality

Pansexual (because the colors are cuter than the bisexual ones)

Year

2nd

Appearance

Years of track and other regular cardio activity (with added healthy gymming) has developed Jules out into having a lean and sinewy physique with a deep tan. He keeps himself clean shaven (not that he could grow any decent hair anywhere besides on top of his head anyway) and has lately been sporting an undercut style, dying his ear-length fringe with whatever happens to take his fancy which currently is a lovely lavender. When walking, he tends to stay on the balls of his feet, lending a muted and natural sway to his hips. When standing, he often keeps most of his weight on one leg, shifting it around when necessary.

His clothing style is fairly urban and genderfluid, throwing together crop tops, skirts, and thigh highs in the same outfits as t-shirts, flannels, and jeans. He also makes frequent use of make-up, often preferring a natural style with some eyeliner flair, but he does have several palettes for whenever he wants to be just a little bit extra.

His voice is a deeper baritone and when he sings, he loves a good crooner

Personality

For the most part, Jules likes to keep himself fairly calm, cool, and laid back with a ready and trained smile for everyone. He's always open to a good debate and is always willing to change his views except for a select few that were uncompromisable. That being said, he gets very annoyed at indecisiveness and people who refuse to take any stance on an issue, no matter what that stance may be. He also can also be blunt and often takes people and their words at face value not so much because he's naive, but more so because he doesn't like spending energy and time around people who don't mean what they say and say what they intend.

Background

Born to loving, if strict, Vietnamese parents, Vinh didn't grow up wanting for much. He had a roof over his head, clothes to wear, and a warm meal every night. His house may have been small and cramped, he may have never seen his parents much, he never really felt close to either his older or younger sisters, and he may have never had his own room, but Vinh always figured that a person couldn't really control where they started in life anyway.

And so that was how he spent most of his early life, meandering through school, taking his piano lessons, going to Boy Scouts, and hanging out with friends that always seemed closer to each other than with him. It wasn't until his summer before entering high school where he decided everything would change. There was no big catalyst, no this-is-it moment for him, he just wanted to change.

So he did.

He started introducing himself as Jules (his mother told him once that he would have been named Julie if he turned out to be a girl) and started branching out with his clothing and social circles, which would lead him into the life of hard studying and even harder partying. He carried these habits all the way into his first year of college where he also picked himself up a sugar daddy and then later moving out of his house after his first semester. Then his second year ended, he had a summer road trip to California with a couple of friends and realized that he was still the same lost and meandering boy that he always was.

The only thing that radically changed this time was that he managed to amicably break things off with his sugar daddy and picked up a new part-time job at his campus cafe, wondering where he'll take himself next.

{Name}

Farahnaz ‘Fara’ Deljou

{Age}

23

{Gender}

Female

{Ethnicity}

Persian
^{(American born)}

{Sexuality}

Lesbian
^{(In theory at least. Guys do nothing for her, but she never actually had a relationship…)}

{Year}

2

---

{Appearance}

Fara is not an overly large presence, standing only about 5’5” and coming in at 120ish pounds; with shoulder length dark brown hair and deep brown eyes. If it wasn’t for her obviously Middle Eastern complexion in the predominantly Caucasian Arizona, she’d be a rather anonymous face in the crowd so to speak. (“No, I’m not ‘Arab’, I’m Persian! Yes, there is a freakin’ difference!”)

Clothing wise, she lives in variations of the classic ‘T-shirt and jeans’ combo salvaged from local thrift stores, adding long sleeves or shorts and such depending on the weather. The closest thing to ‘fashion’ she gets is a few pieces of jewelry; a pendant from her mother, earrings, and a re-sized ring that was once her older brothers.

{Personality}

She’s certainly friendly enough at work, but on a personal level if she doesn’t know the people around her she’s usually very quiet and reserved, rarely one to draw attention to herself; on the other hand around friends or if there is a subject that she is passionate about being discussed, she can be very talkative.

{Backstory}

The youngest child of two Iranian emigres, she grew up in Nevada with her older brother, leading a pretty standard and boring middle class life. It was rocked when she was fifteen, and her brother was killed in an accident; another driver ran a red light and broadsided her brother’s motorcycle. That left her rather shaken for quite a while as she and her brother were quite close.

Aside from that, her life has been pretty average. A personal realization about who she truly was led to some complicated times/feelings later in high school, but then as now she was far to timid to to act on said feelings. She has ‘come out’ to both her few friends and her parents, and while they’ve all been supportive, they also have all quietly despaired at her continuing ‘single’ status.

Post graduation, she just sort of ‘hung out’, working a couple of part-time jobs while she tried to get herself in order. Always a bit of an artist, she gravitated towards WU for two reasons; one, the courses she wanted, while considered top grade, were being offered cheaper than many other universities or colleges, and two, (most importantly in her mind, if not her parents) they were heavily on-line. That meant, as a borderline insomniac, she could take them on her time table. She does have a couple of actual classes, but they’re at civilized times (after 12pm).

{Other}

She’s a big sucker for most anything ‘post-apocalyptic’, surprises a lot of people when they find out she’s both a dedicated gamer and a huge metalhead (she has a bit of a crush on the lead singer of Arch Enemy), she has a tattoo of her brother’s name on her left wrist.

Billie

Billie Jenkins

| Name |

Billie Jean Amano Jenkins

| Age |

24

| Gender |

Female

| Ethnicity |

Japanese/Cherokee by blood. 100% American by heart.

| Sexuality |

Bisexual

| Year |

7, dropped out twice.

| In-Depth Appearance |

Billie stands close to 5'8, considered to be fairly tall for an average woman (which she has her dad to thank for). With a slender frame, an intimidating composure and that hint of natural swagger in her stance, people seem to get a cool chic next door vibe off of her at first impressions. Billie's dad is of Cherokee descent, and her mom a native of Osaka, giving her a soft, yet angular facial structure. Her hair reaches to her lower back, a dark shade of brown like her eyes. Her face slightly riddled with freckles, a blemish here and there showing her natural bare-faced beauty. Billie doesnt go far as to making fashion statements when it comes to planning her wardrobe. She prefers comfort over style although it wouldn't hurt to get a lil bit flashy every once in a while. She has a fondness for goofy graphic shirts, and would avidly shop at thrift stores.

---

---

| Personality |

♦ Creative ♦ Oblivious ♦ Carefree ♦ Blithe ♦

The very first time Billie's dad brought her to a local comic book convention, she instantly fell in love with the culture. Though frankly, still far from becoming the next Jack Kirby of her generation, it hadn't stopped her from doing the thing she loves, working her magic with a pen and a piece of paper every time she gets a chance. Or in some occasions with a piece napkin, a paper bag, a coffee cup, toilet paper, people's bare skins, you name it.

Billie can get a little bit occupied at times, forgetful of the usual everyday things. In instances where she had put her phone, what she was about to say or do, or getting to her next class would be forgotten instantly in a matter of seconds.

Billie despises the trivial responsibilities of highschool life and would rather sleep her responsibilities away till the next morning. She yearns to seek something worthwhile, believing that life is absolutely too short to even bother brooding over the most pettiest of things. Having this viewpoint, there are times Billie would go overboard on her opinions. To the point of simply just not giving a fuck of the world, cheerfully indifferent of reality even if the consequences constantly slaps her in the face.

| History |

Billie's parents had her fairly late in their life, finally settling down in their late 30's. Her father works at an auto shop a couple of blocks away from their place, where she would mostly hang out after school helping out or pestering her dad's co workers. Her mom was a teacher before she had Billie, becoming a stay at home mother until her daughter was old enough to attend school. Though growing up as an only child, suffice it to say Billie had fairly normal childhood, if not lonely one at times.

During Highschool, she was far from a model student, though not reaching to the negative extremes. Like any other adolescent she hung out and played hooky with friends, had smoked a joint more than once in the girl's bathroom, during classes she'd sit with the math dorks and talk about the latest comic book issues whilst making fun of their weird teacher. When her father got sick, Billie got herself into making a few quick bucks through small weekend jobs as a delivery girl at the local grocery. Pay was obviously shit, so she asked some help with a couple of her smoking buds and turned into selling weed. Her parents had no idea about this, and she'd rather have it stay that way.

College isn't as equally exciting, if anything it pressured her into growing up. After her father got sick Billie had to more than once drop out and work full time to pay for the medical bills. after a year or so, Billie re-enrolled in college for the second time, and hopefully graduating this year whilst working part time to pay for her trivial needs.

Gender: Male

Ethnicity: Dutch

Sexuality: Bisexual

Year: 3

His smile is a common occurrence, but it’s known for spreading. His eyes are a pale green, almost blue. But they show love for all around him, and curiosity.

Personality: Jakob is a listener, quick and witty in conversation. But where he shines is where there’s music around, you can almost see his head working, analyzing the music. Turning a seemingly average song into a formula. For a quite background pianist Jakob is very outgoing and confident. Jakob is fast to a joke, and very inviting. Jakob is very laid back... He lives by the motto on time is late. Meaning he finds himself with a lot of downtime.

Backstory: Jakob grew up in and around Amsterdam. One of his first memories was listening to Dave Brubeck in his room over and over. He achieved average grades, but excelled in his music life. Working hard and getting a scholarship to Whiteboroughs. He’s at school in the performing arts program and is planning on doing piano for a life.

April Bellcore

April Bellcore

~Age~
20

~Gender~
Female

~Ethnicity~
African – Zulu
(American born and raised)

~Sexuality~
Bi-curious

~Year~
2

Appearance: Full, glossy lips and a bold brow are part of April's signature everyday look. She's attempts to keep up that effortlessly natural appearance by applying just a touch of mascara and letting her dark locks be unabashfully curly. Framing her angular face and deep brown eyes, her hair fall just past her shoulders. It is very rare that she ever bothers with any sort of foundation, as it is difficult to find the right shade for her warm sepia skin tone. When she does, it is often more money than she can justify spending. April just barely hits the 5'6" mark, though that last half an inch could very possibly be chalked up to the volume of her hair, and her normal attire generally consists of high-waisted jeans that hug her ballet toned legs, a fitted t-shirt, and a cardigan. However, if the weather permits, she's guaranteed to be seen sporting a fuzzy sweater to keep her feeling warm and cozy.

Personality: Being the youngest in a house full of girls, April became The Peacemaker of her family. Sporting a cheerful disposition, she was able to defuse most situations by distracting her family with silly dances or singing songs off key. As she grew up, this happy go lucky attitude became routine. She often hums to herself while she works and tries to make a game out of everything.

Backstory: As the youngest of 4 girls, April was babied and sheltered all her life, and has experienced little that the world has to offer as a result of her sisters' mistakes. College is her time to shine. It's finally her chance to exist without being under the watchful eye of five older and "much wiser" women.

Being the youngest had its perks, though. April was never at fault for anything, even when it was blatantly something she did. It always ended up being somebody else's responsibility because they "should have been watching her." She could do no wrong, and much to her sisters' dismayed, April got everything she wanted because she was the baby. Using their clothes, their makeup, their toys. Everything.

By the time she was 10, she had mostly grown out of that mentality, and that was all thanks to her ballet teacher. Being selfish and overstepping one's bounds was not something that going to fly at Miss Hedge's Ballet Academy. Despite her family's less than ideal financial situation, April's mother was able to scrape together enough money to pay for classes, at a considerable discount thanks to Miss Hedge's kindness.

April never really understood how much they were scraping by till she was much older. It made her feel guilty for all those years of dance lessons. She wants to give back by getting a well paying job to help support her mother and thank her for all those years of raising the 5 of them on her own. As far as her family knows, she gave up her ballet dream in pursuit of a medical degree instead. In secret, however, she still practices in a dance club in college.

Other: April sometimes practices dance routines in the back. She also may or may not have a weakness for anything peanut butter. (She definitely does.)

Just so I know what my expectations should be, is Whiteboroughs is a regular 4-year university and not like a 2-year community college right? I only ask because I have the latter image in my head, but it seems like everything is point towards the former.
