Biography

Bryan and Katherine Bedford were born and in the bustling city of Chicago and they eventually raised their only child Quinn- there as well. Quinn's father is a lead pastor for an urban church and her mother is an elementary school teacher. With her parents in the profession they chose, the type of upbringing Quinn had brought many challenges. Some would say it was almost too controlled and strict. However, it did bring a lot of opportunities for the young girl, giving her a very mature out look on life and a good head on her shoulders.

Quinn excelled in school, and took up as many extracurricular activities that she could. She graduated in the top percentage of her class, and had a great group of friends, and even a boyfriend throughout her four years at the school. Her parents were at first very against the trip, but after promising she'd call every day while she was gone- they eventually gave permission for the trip, even letting them borrow the family's caravan to take the long drive up to the lodge.

Relationships Between Friends

Harrison John 'Harry' Roosevelt
"Are those my...my underwear in your bag?"
• Quite aware of Harry's thoughts about her, Quinn is a bit creeped out by it. She has expressed to him a few times before that she wants to be his friend and enjoys his company as a person but she doesn't like his perverted thoughts. She worries about Harry and doesn't want to hurt his feelings one day when something goes too far.

Sean Anthony Bale
"It's okay to be scared, I'm scared sometimes too."
• Though Sean is a newer member to the group, Quinn accepted him with open arms. They share a lot of extracurricular activities together, despite Sean dropping out of most of them. Hopefully they can find something to really bond over and become closer during this trip.

Booker Alphonse Sharp
"Did I ever tell you how lucky I am to have you?"
• Meeting at her father's church originally, Quinn was a bit overwhelmed with emotion when she first met Booker. On one hand she really liked him and found him to be a great guy but on the other hand she was afraid to put so much of her heart into something that wasn't exactly promised to her. Over time she has become a bit more confident in her relationship and would even say she has fallen in love with Booker. She wants to have a future with him, and is happy to have him on her side during this trip with their friends.

Amelia Hess
"Birds of a feather flock together."
• With many similarities, it wasn't a big surprise that Amy and Quinn became friends right away. The two have one another's back and being the only two girls in the group have bonded them in more ways than one. The two hang out without the guys often, so they share many memories without the entire group being involved.

Ryan Shaw
"I don't know what is going on with you."
• From being too quiet to being too loud, Ryan is sort of the wild card of the group, giving Quinn a bit of an uneasy feeling about him sometimes. They have never had any problems with one another, but they have never been entirely close either. Maybe that can change during this trip.

Biography

Harry was born and raised in Chicago, going to school there and eventually attending high school. At the age of seven, he had a near death experience when he almost drowned while swimming, and he came out of it with hydrophobia. Anyhow, throughout elementary and middle school, Harry was bullied and became a social outcast until his sophomore year. It was then that he met most of the others in the group, and started to socialize more. As he hung out more with the group, his personality grew. He began to think he was better than most other people, even his friends, but still proved to be a good guy to hang around. Even if they don't want him around, the group is just stuck with him now...

Relationships Between Friends

• Quinn Kathleen Bedford
• "Nice girl... Nice hooters, too."
• Harry, being the pervert that he is, couldn't take his eyes off Quinn when he met her. She could most likely easily tell he was undressing her with his eyes, and she, presumably, didn't like that. Quinn probably doesn't really like Harry much, but Harry loves Quinn, for the same reason he couldn't keep his eyes off her. (more TBA as the RP goes on)

• Sean Anthony Bale
• "He's an alright guy, not much else."
• Harry read some of Sean's lyrics one day, and the two continued to bond over writing. Although he never understood songwriting, even though it's quite similar to poetry, he and Sean bonded over the passion and the effort it takes to write. Harry does think that Sean clings to Booker a lot, but dismisses it. (more TBA as the RP goes on)

• Booker Alphonse Sharp
• "The only thing that stands between me and Quinn... Damn him."
• While he is friends with Booker, Harry doesn't like him as much as the rest of the group, mainly due to the fact that he's Quinn's boyfriend. (more TBA as the RP goes on)

• Amelia 'Amy' Hess
• "Not as good as dear old Quinn... But I still like her."
• As with Quinn, Harry pervs over Amelia as well. Though he knows that neither will take him, he finds enjoyment in doing it. (more TBA as the RP goes on)

• Ryan Ander Shaw
• "A fellow writer, I enjoy his company."
• Harry, mainly due to Ryan also enjoying writing, tried to be his friend when they met. They became good friends, even collaborating a few times to write things together. Beyond writing, Harry also enjoys talking with Ryan. (more TBA as the RP goes on)

Biography
Booker grew up, living with his uncle Virgil, a police officer, in Chicago. His parents were not a good influence in Booker's life being drug addicts and on the other side of the law. Being related to a police officer made things difficult and left him not allowed to get involved in anything that could get him in trouble, but...that never stopped him from sneaking out to have fun. Booker, throughout his youth got involved in many sports. Football, Basketball, wrestling, boxing, baseball, you name it, more than likely...he was involved but that was to "keep him out of trouble" as his uncle puts it. Virgil was the closest thing to a father he's had.

There have been times when Booker got into fights because of the rumor about his parents or how someone insulted his girlfriend or people being disrespectful in general. His Uncle and Girlfriend had to talk to him a couple times about his temper but it stems from his parents not being good parents.

Booker was average in school and with the help of his girlfriend, he's managed to survive the high school but he did have worries about college. Booker have always wanted to travel and this trip was just what he was looking for. With himself and his friends and girlfriend by his side, this should turn out memorable.

Relationships Between Friends

• Quinn Kathleen Bedford
• "Where would I be without you, babe?"
• Booker met Quinn at her father's church, thanks to his uncle Virgil making him go to socialize. What he thought was a waste of time, turned out to be worth his time when he met Quinn. After getting to know her from talking a few times, Booker found out that she was not only beautiful on the outside but also on the inside. Throughout the years of courtship, Quinn have always managed to comfort Booker and vice versa. He only fears what will happen during college but he can't imagine being with anyone else and plans to have a future with her.


• Harrison John Roosevelt
• "I know we are friends and all but bruh...stay away from my girl"
• Booker and Harry....you can say they're friends but their relationship is a little wishy washy at times mostly because of personality clash, involving Harry's rude comments and his smoking which Booker frown upon. The primary problem between them is the regards to his girlfriend, Quinn. Booker is indifferent about Harry's pervy quality as long as it's not pointed to his girlfriend but, other than that, Harry is still part of the group and someone Booker would be there for if needed.

• Sean Anthony Bale
• "You're my bro for life!"
• Since the first time they met on the court, Booker have made quite a friendship with him. Booker have seen him before but didn't talk to him until he was getting cut from the team. After seeing his potential to get better and taking up for him, he help Sean get better as a player. Off the court, Booker found himself befriending him because of how different he was compared to the other assholes on his team. Easy to talk to and hang out with, Booker invited him into the group but Booker have always felt in the back of his mind that Sean was a little too close to him but nevertheless, Booker have always been there for him and considered him one of his best bros and someone he can trust.

• Amelia Hess
• "She's a sweetheart."
• Booker took a liking to her because of her motherly and helpful nature she displays. He likes her company even if she tags along when Booker and Quinn go out on dates. Booker usually tries to get her to liven up and not be so shy being around him. He could go as far as to say, she's like a sister he never had.

• Ryan Ander Shaw
• "One of my bros I can't figure out at times"
• Ryan is officially a friend that Booker could not fully understand. Yes he's cool to hang with but he's either get him involved in something that could get them arrested, which Booker found a little funny but dangerous. Other times, he'd be too quiet and distant. He have had situations where his jokes did seem to border disrespect but then again, Ryan would come back the next time and redeem himself. He's a complicated one but Booker finds that it can be a good thing at times.

Biography
Sean grew up with two loving parents who during his childhood gave him most things he pointed at. His family weren't rich or anything, but having a lawyer for a mom paid the bills and was enough to make sure their boy was happy. Sean got the toys he wanted and as he grew up and found an interest for singing they paid he got the singing lessons he wanted as well. But having a mother who was a lawyer also meant that he quickly learned to follow rules. She was strict, but most of the time Sean didn't mind. It taught him to appreciate everything he was handed in life.

In school he was mostly liked and quickly found friends. Or at least other people viewed him as such, he just didn't reciprocate their feelings. It felt more of an obligation to be the one others wanted to be around, like he was the pillar of the social hierarchy in school. He joined all the clubs someone with his status should join, and though he didn't dislike them, he didn't really feel passionate about them. Except his singing of course, and basketball which he quickly took a liking to.

After the coach almost kicked him off the team for his lacking skill in the sport, Booker, one of his teammates offered to help. The coach gave Sean one more chance to prove himself at the next game. And with the help of Booker, who became his first genuine friendship, he slowly improved and when the game approached their team won and the coach, though barely, let Sean stay on the team.
Booker introduced him to his group of friends and Sean quickly found his place among them. But not everyone in the group was welcoming , which he quickly noticed from the glares and small comments thrown at him. He couldn't really do much about it, since, he by that time, not only had found more friends in the group, but also fallen in love with Booker. He knew how fragile social structures could be, after all, he had been the center of a few himself, and didn't want to do anything to disturb that balance.

But now, years later when the group have decided to go on one, last roadtrip together, Sean knew that time is running out and soon their little group of friends will go their seperate ways. Maybe it is finally time to reveal his feelings before it is too late...?

Relationships Between Friends

• Booker Alphonse Sharp
• "You're the best. Never change."
• Booker is kind of Sean's anchor to most things, and he's the one who introduced him to the rest of the group. They met when Sean joined the basketball team and bonded when Booker helped him become good enough to stay on the team. He's one of the few people who have been there for him and despite seeing Sean's weaknesses, still wants to be around him. Booker was Sean's first friendship and eventually also became his first love, though Booker don't know this yet.

• Quinn Kathleen Bedford
• "Stop laughing...I can't breath."
• Quinn was quick to make Sean feel welcome in their little group of friends and they clicked almost instantly. They rarely have a dull moment when together. Sean know he can always talk to her and highly values her advice. Still he's keeping a huge secret, the one that he actually needs to talk about, but can't. He's in love with her boyfriend, and because of that he sometimes pulls away. He really would like to become closer with her though.

• Harrison John 'Harry' Roosevelt
• "I like your writing and you're cool...when you're not all weird and creepy and stuff."
• Sean had a hard time to understand Harry initially, and still does sometimes, but after Harry found some of his lyrics he wrote on his phone, they both bonded over writing. Maybe songwriting really wasn't his thing and Sean didn't really understand poetry and novels that well, but they still understood the passion for writing. Sean trusts Harry since they are friends, but he's worried that the lyrics he shows him maybe have clues of his feelings for Booker and he doesn't really know what Harry would do with that information if he figured out his secret.

• Amelia Hess
• "She is like a mixture of a great friend and a mom, but I guess I need it."
• Amelia was the one that Sean had a hard time to get to know in the group. She was quiet and well, he was not. But as time progressed and they became more comfortable in each other's company he noticed this caring, though a bit smothering at times, side of her. And let's face it, without her, who would stop him to do stupid shit?

• Ryan Ander Shaw
• "You always gets us in trouble, but heck, it's worth it."
• Ryan has this ability to convince Sean to follow him into almost any kind of mischief he's up to. Sean likes Ryan's adventorous side and that he doesn't seem to be bothered by all the insecurities that he is suffering from. But then again, when Ryan aims one of his occasional insensitive comment towards him, Sean has a hard time to not get hurt by his words.

Ryan, to the other friends of the group. Was always kinda there. He was never not there. With Ryan just talking and acting like they were already friends. Whenever he was asked questions about his life he would always wave his hand in his face and comment about being 'Mysterious'. While eager to share stories about his life, they never told too much about his life. The only facts that were sure was that he was raised by a single mother and that he had two siblings.

Ryan seems excited for this trip, while the others may worry about this being a end of their little group. He seems practically unfazed by this problem.

Biography
Growing up in a relatively rich family, Amy never had to worry about losing the roof over her head. She had an overly comfortable childhood, with parents that cared well for her. Her sheltered childhood resulted in her never exploring new opportunities, including making new friends, so her social life was already at its low. At the age of nine, her mother died while giving birth to her younger brother, forcing Amy to try and ‘mature’ so that she could ease her father’s tensions. Trying to take responsibility, she began looking after her little brother, Nate, after school so her father wouldn’t have to pay extra for a nanny while he tried working overtime to ensure that his children lived in relative comfort.

Soon, it became natural for Amy to be overprotective and motherly to her little brother, often seen fretting and worrying about him even while she joined high school years later. During her freshman year of high school, her father remarried again, surprising Amy as she was never aware that her father was looking to get settled again. Feeling almost betrayed, Amy slowly began distancing herself from her father and stepmother, all while taking full care of Nate while worrying about the next chapter in life.

Amy was an average student, her time outside school eaten by the responsibility of taking care of a younger child so she never had the chance to do extra-curricular activities alongside her already difficult school work. Currently, Amy works at the local bar as a waitress, trying to earn enough money to fund college herself.

Relationships Between Friends

• Quinn Kathleen Bedford
"We're like two peas in a pod."
Amy got along with Quinn pretty much straight away. She looks up to the girl not only as a friend -maybe even a best friend - but as someone to be motivated by. Amy is very glad to find someone like Quinn to get along with, and she wishes to never lose her friendship.

• Harrison John 'Harry' Roosevelt
"I don't quite approve of his habit..."
Amy, being the mother of the group, is quite alarmed by how he pursues Quinn even after her refusal against the matter. She almost pities him, but is always willing to lend him an ear if he needs it. Whenever she does catch Harry's wandering gaze, she doesn't hesitate to scold him like a child.

• Booker Alphonse Sharp
"He's truly a wonderful guy"
Being a big lover of all things romantic, Amy almost envies the relationship Quinn and Booker have. She thinks that they're a wonderful pair and finds Booker to be very inspirational, given his background.

• Sean Anthony Bale
"Sean's so much like my brother, I can't help but worry for him"
Amy finds Sean's and Nate's mannerisms to be quite similar, so much so that Amy acts the exact same way as she does to Nate, to Sean, which she understands that it could be quite annoying.

• Ryan Shaw
"I'd love to get to know him more"
Amy is quite curious about Ryan's 'mysterious' demeanour and background. Even after four years she's quite surprised she doesn't know a lot about him, and so she hopes to use this trip to try and get to know him more.
