There are the ones that know where they are going, what to do with their lives. They are the ones with the plan. We are the free spirits, the stubborn ones who make decisions on a whim with no plan in sight. We are The Lost.

The leader, the love interest, etc. Some of them have moved away over the years, only to come back to their roots. They're the outsiders. After taking in years of peoples taunts and bullying, they're finally forming some sort of plan together. It's the beginning of summer break, and a road trip has been planned. Will some of them stay, will the others go? How many deep hidden secrets will come out?

Jarvis Hugo Moore
Nickname:
Jar.
Birth date and age:
November 1st, 18.
Sexuality:
Heterosexual.
In Depth Appearance:
Jarvis keeps up with his appearance; his hair is always styled and his outfits are always picked out with intent. He prefers wearing t-shirts, be it graphic tees or colored v-necks, he is usually seen in a nicely fitted t-shirt; he's a jeans guy, sometimes skinny jeans, other times boot legged jeans, just depending on the t-shirt he chose that day; he doesn't bother with anything special on his feet, usually a pair of tennis shoes that might be a bold color or something toned down, again just depending; he stands at 5'9, with usually a lighter skin tone and an average build; he always has a watch on his right wrist and he does wear a necklace, a plain black string with a round, dark stone at the end, however he always keeps the necklace tucked into his shirts, and he very rarely takes it off.
Personality:
• Geeky • Thoughtful • Intelligent •
Jarvis is a sweet soul. He's someone that extends a helping hand and doesn't expect anything back; he's someone who listens and tries his best to give advice; he's selfless and wears his heart on his sleeve. He gets hurt easier because of his kind and open nature but he doesn't let that shut himself off from new people. He enjoys meeting new people; he's very sophisticated and smart; he attempts to not let his negative emotions get to him, but of course, it happens; he tries to not snap at people, though, and tries to keep a level and cool head in an argument. He prefers talking things out in a calm manner rather than yelling or throwing insults around. Jarvis can be quite funny, making puns and playful sarcastic comments, and he often makes references to things people consider "geeky" or "nerdy"; he's talkative, too, and can get quite loud when talking about something that excites him or he enjoys.

Biography:
Jarvis grew up in an unhappy household for some time. His parents argued a lot when he was a young child and when he was seven, it was found out his mother was having an affair. They divorced and to young Jarvis' confusion, his mother didn't even want custody of him, and shoved him onto his father. Who didn't mind one bit; he raised Jarvis the best he could, introducing him to things he loved today, such as geeky things and science and Marvel, everything he loves and enjoys today, and helped form the person he is today. His father was an amazing single dad as he was growing up. He never saw his mother again and to this day, he doesn't understand how she just left him so easily. While his father tried his best, they did struggle with money as Jarvis was growing up. He didn't grow up on home-cooked meals, he rarely went out to eat; he grew up on sandwiches and TV dinners and frozen pizza. It shows he grew up on an unhealthy diet because he still eats the same, his naturally fast metabolism keeping him slim. Growing up poor was hard, the neighborhood they lived in was sketchy and he could never go outside, he didn't have the nicest clothes and got teased/bullied for it in school. When he was old enough to cook for himself, his father began working extra shifts at the local warehouse, and it was rare for he and Jarvis to see each other. His father knew it hurt Jarvis to rarely see him so he gave him the necklace that Jarvis wears all the time, it had been his own and his father wanted Jarvis to feel like a part of himself was with him always. His father worked hard for the money that did come into the household and the only reason Jarvis got an allowance was for food; yet, he sometimes went without a couple meals, so he could buy comics or something of the like for himself.
He knows the feeling of going hungry, because sometimes, his father didn't get in enough hours and all the money went to bills and the loans his father had taken out and owed back. It was a rough childhood; at first, he saw a lot of his father, but then when he was old enough to take care of himself, he rarely saw him, and when he did, his father was either sleeping or dead on his feet. Jarvis got a job as soon as he could, at the local coffee shop, and while he didn't make much money, since he couldn't get in extra hours between balancing the job and school, it did help a little. Sometimes, he would skip school to work, any way to try and help his father. He was smart and so his grades didn't suffer too badly, because while he wanted to help his father, he also wanted to go to college and try to get a secure job that paid well. He went on through life, never feeling quite like he belonged anyway.
Secret:
Sent to the GM. Shame on you for looking! lol.
Theme Song:
Aftermath - Adam Lambert You feel the weight, Of lies and contradictions that you live with every day, It's not too late, Think of what could be if you rewrite the role you play.
Other:
He attempts to stay active, though playing a video game and eating a whole large pizza by himself is a lot funner than taking a run in his opinion.
Yeah, true. Sadly, his secret is in his history too! I'll just put it in a hider (a hider within a hider - hiderception!) and hope everyone is nice and doesn't look until we hear from the GM!

Theodore James Lincoln
Nickname:
Theo, Link, T.J, Teddy...Everyone seems to have a nickname for him.
Birth date and age:
March 12th, 18.
Sexuality:
Heterosexual
In Depth Appearance: Theo stands 6ft tall, with dark skin, brown eyes and neatly styled hair. Physically, he is surprisingly well built. He often wears baggy clothes that conceal the fact that works out regularly. He is by no means musclebound but he is muscular in a compact sort of way. His fashion sense seems to be an odd mix of fashionable and quirky. He's less of a trend follower than some people think and his style seems to change depending on the day and his mood.
Personality:
• Quiet • Confident • Adrenaline Junkie •
At first and on the surface, Theo seems like a quiet and sometimes even shy kid. He is by no means shy however. He simply doesn't enjoy talking as much as others seem to. When he has something to say, he'll say it but it will more than likely be in short, succinct bouts of speech. He does occasionally get a little hyper when he's had too much sugar and when this happens, he's more likely to actually chat with someone. That's if they can keep his attention for more than thirty seconds. Theo is also known as an adrenaline junkie. He loves extreme sports and has been known to be reckless in his pursuit of adrenaline in the past. He is very self assured but it's really more of a quiet confidence that actual arrogance. Although he has bordered on being outwardly arrogant in the past. Theo isn't the most empathic person ever and is less likely to give you a shoulder to cry on than he is to give you a smack across the back of the head and tell you to get over it. He's the friend you go to for help with a bully, not the friend you go to for emotional support.
Likes:
Music - Seeing Theo without headphones is a rare sight.
Art - He creates art at every opportunity and is usually the person most likely to draw on your walls.
Animals - To the point where he has been volunteering at an animal shelter for the past year. He may actually like animals more than people.
Movies and TV shows - He's quite the movie/tv show aficionado and this is one of the few things that can get him talking.
Climbing - Theo is fascinated by getting high...No, not that way. He likes to climb things, be they trees, buildings or tall friends.
Dislikes:
Fake friends and phonies in general - Nothing is likely to raise Theo's ire more than friends who are only pretending to like him.
Math - Theo has no head for numbers and feels kind of dumb when he has to do complex math.
Constant negativity - Theo doesn't like being around people who bring him down with their bad attitude.
Racists and homophobes - Self explanatory.
Snobs - Theo firmly believes that having more money than someone doesn't make you better than them. Not everyone agrees.
Fears:
Needles
Betrayal
Death
Biography:
Theo spent much of his formative years bouncing around the foster care system. The families he was placed with rarely seemed interested in actually having him around. Sure, there were a few that weren't just interested in the paycheck that came with housing him but those families were the minority. For the most part, his foster parents were disinterested or just downright abusive. Theo used to dream that his real parents would come back for him and they'd live happily ever after.
His real parents never did show up but he did find happy. When the Lincoln family took him in, Theo realized immediately that they were different. Not only were they wealthy in their own right, which meant they didn't care about the money he brought, they actually seemed to give a damn. Sure, they were hard on him from time to time but that was only to motivate him to become great. They didn't want him to become some statistic. Just another foster kid who met an untimely end or faded into obscurity. Theo appreciated this and he finally began to feel like he was part of a family, albeit a strict and demanding one.
Eventually, the Lincoln's chose to legally adopt Theo as their own. Things began to look up for Theo. He finally had a family that loved him, he was doing well in school and he made a bunch of friends. Another thing he never really had before the Lincoln's. Sure, his friends were hardly the popular crowd but he liked that about them. They liked him for who he was, rather than for his family's money. Some of them became so close they were like family in their own right.
Theo put thoughts of his real parents aside. He had a family now. And they were all he needed.

Secrets is secrets.

Personality:
• ISTP • Caring • Loyal •
To most Alex appears cold and standoffish, but those who know him well realize he is just a quiet guy. He can seem rude but that is only because he is very direct and rarely lets bias change how he deals with things unless he REALLY dislikes someone. He is fiercely loyal and if someone hurts or wrongs someone he cares about he will defend them, but he rarely defends himself. He loves bringing characters to life and enjoys making people happy despite not seeming like it.
Likes:
Acting - Every since Alex was 8 he has enjoyed acting. He loves to make characters come to life.
Making people smile - He loves feeling the joy of having made another smile. If it is a genuinely happy smile he feels he accomplished something.
Taking care of the less fortunate - He really enjoys going to orphanages, retirement homes, and Children's Hospitals. He volunteers his time whenever he can to make them happy.
Anime, Manga, Comics, Video Games - He is a geek. End of story. He loves going deep into thought on these topics even creating worlds in his mind that continuously run when he daydreams.
Solitude - Being an introvert he does need his alone time. He enjoys going into the woods or the country and just being alone for long periods of time.
Dislikes:

Bullies - Alex just despises people who purposefully make others sad or hurt for seemingly no reason.
Racists - Despite being white Alex can't help but disliking racist people. In his mind there should be no reason to categorize someone by their skin tone. He won't let someone get away with making a racist remark while he is around.
Anyone who disrespects Soldiers, Police Officers, or Firefighters - They risk their lives for the normal free person. He can't stand when someone says anything negative about them.
Hurting others - He doesn't like it when he inadvertently hurts someone or upsets them.
Fears:
Large crowds - Too many people make Alex extremely uncomfortable. Even to the point of possibly having an anxiety attack. The only time it doesn't affect him is when he is acting or playing a group game with people.
Needles - Pretty much anything that can be stuck into the body makes Alex freak out or cringe.
Being forgotten - He really believes people will forget about him.
Biography: Alex is the second oldest of his siblings. When he was younger he connected fairly well with others, but eventually someone really close to him betrayed him. Also almost all of the friend groups he has ever been in tend to have a large falling out leaving him to have to decide which side he would join. He never could choose so he always got left behind. He has never had a real relationship either. The only occurrence was in fifth grade he rode on the bus home and sat beside a girl. The whole year they got really close even to the point of having a secret 'boyfriend/girlfriend relationship'. Alex thought it was real but over the summer they lost contact and when they met up the next school year she acted like she had never known him.
Over the next couple of years he was constantly bullied yet never stood up for himself. Over this time period he closed himself off to many things primarily when it comes to how he feels. He rarely opens up to anyone now. It takes a long time and much kindness. He is fiercely loyal and will always stand by them but in reverse effect if they break his trust he will never be on their side again unless they go to great lengths to get his forgiveness. Only once starting high school did he start opening up, but what he opened up was really a colder side of him.
Secret: He participates in a underground fight ring.
