@LetMeDoStuff I had her complete for a while but before I could post it I fell asleep
I'm way too tired to check through the details, so if there's anything that's not matching up, let me know and I'll fix it up when I'm not drooling all over my keyboard in sleep.
Name
Camilla Tessa Hendricks
Nickname
Mia: Mia is her stage name, originally used as an alias but now loves the nickname as if it were her first name instead. Tessie: Something that her step-brother likes to call her affectionately. She's not the biggest fan of the nickname, however.
Gender
Female
Date of Birth & Age
August 19th - 22 years old
Nationality
English
Appearance
A true Leo, Mia emits confidence and power. Her walk is that of royalty: head held high and back straight with perfect posture. Mia looks good and she knows it, always found with a giant smile that threatens to split her face - however, whether its of pure joy, or faked, depends on the individual that its directed to. With a curvy hourglass figure, Mia loves maintaining her figure by daily walks and/or exercise. Mia is of relatively short stature: 5 foot 4, or 1.65 meters in height, Mia doesn't let her height stop her from being confrontational nor being controlled by others if need be.
With creamy skin, rosy cheeks and hints of freckles dusting her forehead, nose and upper arms, Mia has barely any blemishes on her body. She has a scar on her left elbow and knee, one that she received during her childhood after tripping. Her eyebrows are one that catches the attention of many: rather than being thin or delicately shaped, Mia's are thick and full, framing her almond shaped eyes beautifully. Her eyes are of a hazel shade, often shifting between browns, greens and specks of yellow depending on the lighting of the room, her eyes always spark with mischief. Her lips are of a pale pink shade, always curled into a grin.
Her hair is usually kept long and untamed, thick and somewhat frizzy. Primarily a chestnut brown colour, Mia's hair also has hints of reds when looked under certain lighting – mainly from experimenting with various shades of reds and blonde highlights from years prior, but most of the colour is faded, if not already gone. Her hair is layered and long, reaching past her chest in messy waves, giving her a low-maintenance look.
Whilst performing, Mia loves going all out with her clothes: bling, flashy and pretty. She often uses her performance as an excuse to get dressed up and wear dresses, skirts and the likes. As long as she looks pretty in it, Mia will wear it. It boosts her ego whenever she is complimented on her outfit, which often encourages her to do it more often, leading to a full cycle. Casually, however, Mia's motto is simply cheap and comfortable. If she doesn't have anyone she needs to impress, Mia dresses down and wears the bare minimum when it comes to styling and fashion. Her make-up also varies with the situation: if she's performing, it's a lot more glamorous, often with a hint of red lipstick to give her a sultry look but on a normal day, some simple eyeliner and lip balm is more than enough to keep the girl sated with her appearance.
Personality
✦ Confident ✦ Proud ✦ Passionate ✦ Sensitive ✦
As mentioned earlier, Mia is the perfect description of a Leo woman. She exudes confidence and is often aggressive when she's confronted. She doesn't believe herself to be a leader, but doesn't mind taking the position should no one take the job. She's headstrong and opinionated, her words often blunt and to the point. She rarely finds the need to lie, her poker-face needing to be worked on, so if you want the hard truth, Mia is the person to go to.
One way to perfectly describe Mia is that when she feels, she feels deep. Her emotions are easy to read, to the point that she can be compared to an open book - so its not hard for people to take advantage of her open nature to manipulate her. While it may be easy to manipulate her, once Mia finds out you can be sure that there will be hell to pay, a trait she's inherited from her father. Also, since her emotions are a big part of her, Mia is very sensitive. Harsh words can often lead to her feeling cornered, leading to her lashing out and acting aggressively in return. It doesn't happen very often, but once she's past the breaking point, she can end up hurting someone innocent even if they weren't her intended target.
Mia loves getting attention from loved ones. While she won't go out of her way to demand attention in the wrong way - never rebelling or acting out of place - Mia loves being appreciated for her talents or just simply complimented from the heart. If ignored, Mia can act out and may even become confrontational.
Her ego is huge. She hates taking orders and will not take to them very well. She's independent, damnit! Mia, while loves pleasing her friends and family, will not like being told what to do. But if worded correctly Mia will easily dance if told to do so. It's a trait that many take advantage of while manipulating her.

Background
Born on a warm sunny summer's day in Sussex, Camilla was always considered the sun in her family's eyes: radiant and bright. Ever since she was a child, she always commanded attention - a trait that she still has today. She was always a daddy's girl, and would often follow her father around wherever he went. So it was a blow to four year old Camilla when she was told that her father had passed away in an unfortunate car accident. Her mother struggled to take care of her, her salary not enough to sustain her along with a growing child so they had to move from their family home to save expenses. Now, Camilla stayed with her mother and her grandparents until life could return back to normal.
Which it didn't. Instead, not even a year later her mother remarried a single father and moved with him to London. At first, Camilla and James never got along. The two were both too attention-seeking and hated it when the other took their parent's attention away from them. This sibling rivalry even reached to their secondary education, the two often butting heads at every lesson and competition available to prove that they were better than the other. It was around that time that Camilla and James participated in the school's talent show, both as a musical act where they both eventually lost to another performance. During that time, the step-siblings understood the other's strengths and weaknesses, and with their combined love for music, they started a music channel on YouTube.
At first, it was simple cover music from other popular artists. They would post anything that could get them the attention from the community. They even posted a couple of their own original music - those getting a lot more hits than the covers - and by the time Camilla (now known as Mia) and James (known as Jesse) were nineteen, they were finally recognised by the community as a good duet. For the next four years, their YouTube channel grew as more and more people began listening to the step-sibling's - now officially termed as Violet Lanes, as that was their YouTube username at the time - music more often.
Of course, they're not popular enough to be known globally and be signed by record labels just yet, but Camilla knows that one day their music will be known by many.

[Andre Parker]
Name Andre Alexander Parker III
Nickname Dre, AP, AP3, or Ape (hates it, but gets thrown around)
Gender Male
Age 23
Nationality American
Appearance Andre stands at about 6'4", his height usually the first thing people notice. The second thing people notice are his cool, gray eyes. He has short, black hair with tight curls and he usually keeps his hair hidden under a baseball cap or other hat. Andre has an athletic body, his muscles visible. Andre's least favorite feature on him would be the mark above his lip on the left side of his face.
As for clothing style, Andre likes to rock new and trendy clothing. Most of which is very expensive. He likes flashy, unique styles the most, always taking a risk. He likes to wear black and red colors the most on his clothes. He dresses like most rappers and hip-hop artists and feels most comfortable in these clothes. However, it isn't a complete surprise to see Andre in more "school" like looks. He has been known to wear dress shirts and pants while he performs.
Personality Andre is Mr. Confidence. Confidence, confidence, confidence. He's full of confidence. He knows when he sounds good, looks good, and feels good. Of course he'll have his days where he feels like he doesn't look or sound too good, but that's rare. Andre can be aggressive with his music, always trying to spread his name around some way. He will not stop until he's a legend. Andre is also a bit of a flirt. He'll come off as sweet and kind first glance, but once he feels like a girl has fallen, he'll turn into Romeo. He isn't a womanizer, however, and respects women at all times. If he feels bad vibes of is told to back off, he'll respect the request.

Group Name AP3 (as Andre goes solo, he just goes by his nickname)
Music Genre Rap, hip-hop, R&B, and soul
Members -Andre Parker, as the only artist (as of now) -Nick Lane, as his manager
Extra Information
Likes/Advantages Being a rapper as well as singer, Andre loves to hear rap and R&B. If he knows the song, he'll sing along. Andre can be seen singing more than rapping, liking R&B more than anything. Aside from music, Andre likes to stay active. Being tall, he excels at basketball and football. If Andre stayed in school and kept playing sports, he had a good chance at going pro. Andre loves California Bay Area teams, and will follow his hometown teams all the time (San Francisco Giants, 49ers, and Golden State Warriors).
Dislikes/Disadvantages Andre is afraid of rejection and death. With rejection, he can become depressed and unproductive when major things are rejected (i.e., record label signings, music collaborations, himself with a girl, etc.). Andre can't stand the harsh reality of being rejected, so sometimes he'll avoid encounters to save himself a rejection. This has led to him missing out on things. With death, he can't stand to hear or see loved ones go. Andre can't handle deaths after the loss of his father and brother, so death isn't something Andre is too fond of. Criticism is a tough topic for Andre. He can understand some constructive criticism, if it's said in a nice and relaxed way. Other than that, he takes it personally. Andre is also prone to fight people. This has landed him in jail a few times.
Background Andre hasn't had the best childhood. He was born into a very poor family in Fairfield, California that struggled to put food on the table. Andre grew up knowing the struggle, having to steal to survive and fight also. He looked up to his father, the man working three jobs to try and provide for his family. At around twelve years old, Andre heard his older brother rapping with friends after school. This immediately grasped Andre's attention and he rapped with his brother.
Andre and his brother, Alexander, were a well-known rap duo in the area. The two were the strongest bond ever, no one ever able to separate him. Sadly that changed when Alexander joined a gang in the pursuit of the rap game and money. Alexander neglected his family, disappointing his father and mother as well as hurting Andre's feelings. Andre decided to go solo, not really getting anywhere. At around 15 years old, Andre gave up rapping and focused on school. He seemed to have a set life with his 3.5 GPA and he was getting scholarships, too. This would no longer continue after a family crisis.
Andre returned to school one day to see his father held at gunpoint and robbed. His father complied and everything, even giving up the family necklaces he'd pass down to Andre and Alexander. Andre watched in fear as he saw his father being mugged. When he saw them finish, he thought it was all over. He was sadly mistaken. His father was then jumped, beaten down and left for dead. The group that robbed him escalated everything and killed Andre's father right in front of him. The murderers would then speed off in a car. Andre approached his father and tried to help, only to realize he was no longer with him. Andre was heartbroken, mad at the world, and lost. When Alexander learned about his father, he set out for revenge.
Andre followed his brother to find the killers. The two left late at night to track down the killers. Alexander knew who the guys were. They were members of a rival gang. As Alexander pulled up to the house the killers were at, he gave Andre one command: "Stay put and don't leave." Andre did not listen and got out the car in case his brother needed help. Alexander fought the group of 3, somewhat handling himself. The fight would turn sour as Alexander was stabbed. Andre yelled for help, alerting the killers and forcing them to leave. A bystander would call for help, an ambulance arriving shortly. As Alexander arrived at the hospital, he'd lost a massive amount of blood. Doctors worked hard to try and save him, but Alexander would die of blood loss.
Andre couldn't take this anymore. He became quiet, unproductive, and violent. His mother couldn't take the pain of losing a son and husband and the combined new attitude of Andre sent her over the edge. Andre's mother sent him to a new school and tried to get him out of his new found ways. This move was successful. As Andre was in his senior year of high school, 2 years after the loss of his brother and father, Andre began to make music again. He found music to be a stress reliever. Andre also discovered his voice, a new weapon added to his musical skills. Andre would master rap and R&B after graduating.
After high school, Andre was faced with a heartbreaking decision. Would he go to college and pursue a basketball career? Or would he go with his dreams and be a musician. After a long time thinking, Andre decided to follow his dreams. Surprisingly to Andre as well as his mother, Andre made somewhat of a name for himself. He met someone to manage him, Nick Lane. Mr. Lane was the same age as Andre and could connect more. Andre now performs in small venues in an attempt to make it big.

Character Theme --
I skimmed through it, and I'll properly look at it tomorrow.
Sorry, it's my habit. But I'll try to fix it- maybe you should fix your signature then too
The difference is, my signature is a short phrase that no one needs to read for any important information. Along the same vein, bits of italicized text in writing for emphasis are fine as well. Unfortunately, entire OOC posts in italics are very straining on my eyes to read (it's hard to focus on). Hell, default text (white on black) is bad enough as it is. It glows and smears in my vision, and the italics only make that problem worse. I'd really appreciate the effort.

Gender Male
Age 24
Nationality(bit long with some explanation XD) Country of origin: Denmark, however he was born to American Parents and moved to America at 2 Possesses a legal 'citizenship' in England where he has lived since he was 15.
Appearance Tall and relatively well-built Jackson stands at 180cm (approximately 5'11"). Jackson's hair is a dark brown and relatively short with a fringe-like part that reaches his chin (Refer to picture; it's hard to explain). He possesses almond eyes with chocolate brown irises. His skin in a light golden colour from his time living in Florida. His chin has a small bit of stubble that creeps up his face and around his lip, however, he shaves it before it becomes too long.
When it comes to fashion Jackson isn't too fussed either on or off-stage. He prefers to where whatever makes him comfortable. This generally means he's wearing a short sleeve shirt and a pair of denim jeans, usually on the skinnier side yet not quite tight, and a pair of converse. He also wears an iron ring on the ring finger of his right hand. He will often wear a few snap bands up his arm or some random item of such. Generally his clothing choices are of more darker or natural tones and black is often a feature colour-wise,
Personality Unlike his musical partner Jackson is more introverted and reserved. He isn't a huge fan of big parties and prefers to stay home and strum at his guitar or such. Although he is reserved he isn't exactly shy. He's not a bucketload of confidence but he has no problem approaching or talking to strangers. On occasions he can almost enjoy big crowds however they are only in certain circumstances. Jackson is very thoughtful of his actions and is careful to analyse the results and consequences instead of spontaneously plunging into an action headfirst.
Jackson is quite open minded and likes to hear from both sides of the story before coming to a judgement. He cares deeply for his friends and family and is very trusting. He is quite mature and responsible and doesn't often push the boundaries.
On stage, however, Jackson comes completely out of his shell. He enjoys the stage and performing and, when it comes to that time if it ever happens, he enjoys performing for large crowds and has troubles staying in one place when he's performing for them. Music Career Duet member

Background Jackson was born to an American couple in Denmark as their first child of 3. His father, Michael, had acquired a job in Denmark only months before Jackson's birth which promised to be beneficial to his career so, with no plans to stay for too long, Michael and his wife, Pauline, who was 5 months pregnant at the time, moved overseas.
Jackson holds no memory of Denmark despite what he had been told or seen on recordings. His parents ran true on their promise and moved back to Florida, America when Jackson was 2, just before his mother fell pregnant with yet another child.
Throughout his childhood nothing too noteworthy arised. He was quite average student in school and wavered between interest with his group of friends until his 13th. His mother brought him an electric guitar and it quickly grew on Jackson. He would spend a his spare moments playing it.
At 15 his father's job dragged the family overseas to London. Leaving his life behind was tough on Jackson so that marked the point when he started songwriting. He still own a collection of his songs in a small black box, very few of them have been shown to anyone though.
When Jackson's 19th year was approaching his family moved back to America, however, Jackson had grown to love England and stayed behind. He started a teaching degree but fees were looming over him and his slowly lost interest so he bounced from job to job until he ended up at a pub where he met Harper Cole
