ALIXANDRE ROWAN DELACROIX - 24 - LOCAL - BISEXUAL - "I HAVE SCHIZOPHRENIA."
JEORDIE 'JEO' ANDRE BISHOP
Twenty Four. Local. Bisexual. Male. Best friend/Lover. Shy. Smoker. Insecure. Caring. Happy. Flamboyant. Musician. Artist. Guitarist/High school art teacher. "I try to help everyone because I can't be saved" Jeordie White/Twiggy Ramirez.
Jeo and Alix met a few years ago when Alix moved to Lipton. The two became fast friends, and Jeo seems to be one of the only people Alix is truly himself around. Jeo is the yin to Alix's yang in terms of personality. Where Alix is cold-hearted, manipulative and vindictive Jeo is caring, honest, and loving. Jeo is a caring who aims to please and is very insecure with himself. Probably why he befriended and fell for Alix. Jeo comes across as this happy-go-lucky person who feels it's his duty to help everyone else with their problems.
Jeo is hiding a big secret though. He went to the doctor several months ago and was diagnosed with an incurable disease called Addison's Disease. The doctors have tried various hormonal replacement therapies with no avail. His current doctor has said with certainty he will not live to see thirty. This is why Jeo tries to do his best to help everyone around him, because he can't be saved from the clutches of his disease. He has yet to tell anyone and has no plans to tell anyone because he doesn't want to be a burden. So he keeps his head up and a happy demenor despite his bleak future. Jeo knows Alix will take it the hardest because he knows he's Alix's best friend. But what can he do?
TRISTESSA MARIETTE DELACROIX
Seventeen. High school Junior; then Senior. Straight. Little Sister. Smug. Narcisstic. Schizophrenic. Violent. Demanding. Influental. "My mom tried to kill me because I'm mentally ill." Ambellina.
Tristessa, much like her big brother Alix, suffers from paranoid Schizophrenia. Her situation also ended tragically much like Alix's. No wonder she worships her older brother! Growing up the two were always extremely close and Tessa did everything she possibly could to emmulate her big brother. Even from the time she was able to walk she knew there was something special about Alix and listened to everything he had to say. By the time she hit middle school her anger had surfaced and sadly unlike Alix she couldn't control it. She regularly ended up in the dean's office for fist-fighting and keeping a terrible attitude towards her teachers. When Alix was nearly killed by their mother she had been the one to dial the cops and have them come to save him. Little did she know her grandeur delusions, her hearing voices and seeing things and her slipping into a fantasy world were indicators at the time of her own Schizophrenia growing. Of course, she's never been formally diagnosed.
But as soon as her mother began piecing together the duos personalities she flipped out. One evening she came in screaming about how she would not have another child of Satan in her home. And that she wouldn't raise another evil child. And that Tessa was a demon. And then her mother pulled out the knife...the same knife she'd used on Alix. At sixteen years of age Tessa was stabbed by her mother. And just like with Alix, her mother missed the crucial arteries needed to kill her successfully. Tessa and Alix's mother was promptly arrested. Alix rushed to the hospital to his sister's side. As soon as she had healed enough she moved with Alix to Lipton with him. Her Schizophrenia and anger have remain uncontrolled except when she is around Alix.
BECCA ABIGAIL FAYTHE - 17 - SENIOR - STRAIGHT - "I AM ADOPTED."
Fifteen. High school Sophomore; then Junior. Straight. Little Sister. Crazy/Kooky. Craves love. Outgoing. Charming. Writer. "I was raped and I'm scared no one will love me" Chloe Moretz.
Bre is Becca's little sister via her adoptive parents. After being told since her twenties she would be unable to have children, Sarah adopted Becca and then found herself pregnant two years later. Becca and Bre were extremely close growing up but as the two ventured down different paths they've become complete strangers. Bre was raped when she was thirteen by a neighbor and hasn't been the same since. It seems like she completely changed herself. And though she's still the eccentric, charming girl she was in the past she has become more out of control and has seeked out drugs and sex to fill the void in her life. She craves loves and feels like if she sleeps with a guy they will love her, but gets her heart broken every single time. She's bcome a person she completely hates and has withdrawn from everyone around her. Even her closest friends don't know the extent of her behavior. But how long before she self-desctructs or does something she can't fix?
LUCAS DEWAYNE HALL
Twenty. Local. Biological Brother. Caring. Protective. Goofy. Funny. Ladies' man. Energetic. "I hate my mother she was never there for me." Ashton Kutcher.
Lucas is the eldest of the Hall children. He was the one to keep an eye on and help raise the other kids because of his mother's 'issues'. He was also the one to best remember Erica-- Becca, before she got adopted out. He was three at the time and had been the one who loved her the most, though she doesn't remember him. He has been on a search the last year trying to find his long-lost baby sister. He's very goofy and energetic but knows when to be protective and nuturing. Lucas will be the one Becca becomes closest to. His secret is that he hates his mother...as much as a person can hate another person. He acts the role of the caring, loving, concerned son when really he is disgusted by her and despises her for all the hell she's put the kids through. He up and moved when Candy did to keep an eye on the kids.
BROOKE JENNIFER HALL
Fifteen. High school sophomore. Biological sister. Attention seeker. Preppy. Rude. Demanding. Diva. Drama queen. "i am a prostitute" Lauren Collins.
Brooke is the next to last of the Hall children. She is the little queen bitch diva of the clan who takes after her mother's overdramatic whims. She will be the sibling Becca absolutely loathes because they're from polar ends of the spectrum. Brooke is a preppy attention seeker who has turned to prostitution because she likes the extra cash and loves the sex. At fifteen she has pretty much taken the first few stumbles to becoming her mother. She smokes pot, does speed on occasion, drinks, parties, has sex with lots of guys and is an all-around slut. But maybe Becca can bring her to her senses if they could ever get along..
XAVIER BRENT HALL
Eight. local. biological brother. highly intelligent. hates his family. funny. sweet. kind. "i just pretend to be stupid" Bradley Steven Perry.
Xav is the youngest of the Hall clan. Despite his mother's excessive drug use and alcoholism during her pregnancy with him he has proven to be a bright, highly intelligent young man! He actually has a tested 187 IQ but because he doesn't want his mother to try to make a profit off of his intelligence, nor his siblings to tease him he pretends to be an average, stupid kid. He has never really shown his true intelligence except in school where he flourishes and has been asked to skip grades. He has always managed to convince the teachers he doesn't want to skip and continues on his mundane life out of school. Becca will be protective over him and try to help him finally come to terms with his intelligence.
ELLIOT NATHANIEL MERRICK - 21 - LOCAL - GAY - "I AM SCARED OF FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN."
JAIDEN 'JADE' HENRY DUPONT
Twenty two. local. rival. selfish. cold hearted. manipulative. bitchy. rude. "i am black mailing my step father" Izzy Hilton.
Jade is Elli's rival. The two always act fakely friendly to each other out in front of people but have gotten into many private altercations. See Jade was the party monster before Elli showed up and took his crown. Now the two have a mutual hate for each other than runs as deep as the ocean. He is also black mailing his step father because the man has been sleeping with him. He's been sleeping with his mother's boyfriend on the side too, who his mom has no idea is gay.
Jade is loud, stuck-up, fake, and fierce.
JUDE RIVER STONE - 15 - FRESHMAN - BISEXUAL - "MY PARENTS ARE ON THE RUN FROM THE LAW."
LENNON FOREST STONE
seventeen. senior. older brother. straight. single. sweet tempered. funny. outgoing. athletic. artistic. "i make up stories so i won't be 'boring.'" John O' Challaghan.
Lennon is the eldest of the five Stone kids. He is a senior at the local high school and due to his love of sports he's easily adapted into the social norm. He is an outgoing and sweet guy who loves to be helpful and productive. He and Jude aren't terribly close and in fact, Lennon kind of resents his brother a little for being so much more talented. He's also gotten to where he makes up stories so he won't be 'boring' due to his uneventful life growing up on a commune.
RAIN STORME STONE
sixteen. junior. older sister. bisexual. single. fiesty. loud. rebellious. violent. angry. mouthy. rude. singer. black sheep. "i only rebelled to get their attention, now my family hates me." Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander.
Rain Storme could not have been given a more appropriate name. Growing up she was always the miniature black sheep of the family. Prone to angry fits and an almos unbearably bleak mood Rain was a walking storm cloud. This was a foreign and almost frightening concept for the Stone family. Rain has always been a little hellraiser, of course. Her personality completely changed in the last two years after moving to another new commune. Sunny Fields (a huge hippie commune outside of Toledo, Ohio) was a modern version of the communes the Stone family had always lived on. By modern that means they were allowed access to magazines, TV for an hour a day and popular music. Rain grasped this freedom and lost herself in it. She went from a rebellious brunette to a completely awol punk rocker with crazy, black hair who regularly snuck off the commune.
She'd go missing for days at a time sometimes and always return home with shredded clothes, new piercings and smelling of liquor and pot. Sometimes she'd arrive stumbling out of a car nearby with a girl in the front seat or on the back of a rocker guy's motorcycle. She saved up enough money to pay for a dragon back piece which she shows off at every opportunity. Rain's personality also took a turn for the worse as she became rude and completely out of control.
Rain and Jude were very close growing up as he felt it his job to constantly defend her behavior. He often sought solace in his sister when things went wrong. But in the last two years things have been strained. Though he remains optimistic that he will be able to "save" his sister from her desctructive path somehow.
KASHMIR 'KASH' HENDRIX STONE
thirteen. freshman. gay. single. outgoing. sweet. gentle. caring. drama student. "everybody loves my blog, but they don't know that it's me." Zack Shada (younger)
Kash is the dramatic one of the family. Growing up he always put on little talent shows and plays with the other kids' in the commune from books he'd read. He was always the dramatic but eager and outgoing kid who provided light and laughter to everyone around him. He loves to be the center of attention and is totally at home on the stage. He's very gentle and caring, too. This has made him a bit of a favorite in the up coming freshman. He is excited to be a high school student and start in the drama club. Kash is quite obviously gay from his behavior, but he's not flamboyant about it either. Kash and Jude were not terribly close growing up, but Jude has become more involved with his younger brother's life.
Kash discovered the world of technology two years ago. After moving to Lipton he started up a blog for fun, noting various scandals going on from his adventures around town. His blog 'Secrets Are Never Secret' has become a hit in the community as everyone desperately tries to figure out who this person is that has found out so much about them. But no one, not even his family, knows it's him.
(Father & Best friend are WIP)
LEONIDUS 'LEON' HARRISON HARTWELL - 16 - HIGH SCHOOL SOPHOMORE - STRAIGHT - "I HATE MYSELF BECAUSE I HURT EVERYONE AROUND ME"
JOSHUA 'JOSH' MICHAEL LOFTY
sixteen. sophomore. best friend. hyper. violent. prone to anger issues. dangerous. flirty. immature. " i rapped a girl a party, and she still doesn't know it was me" Travis Barker.
Josh is Leon's best friend. The two bond often over their tastes in music and their temper problems. They've been best friends since seventh grade and both are totally out of control. Josh is a dangerous type of violent person who has no problems taking whatever he wants by force, probably why he raped that girl at that party over the summer. She was a tease who refused to put out...so he took what he wanted from her. He's flirty and immature which lures girls to him. He regularly beats up on his girlfriends and rapes them.
sixteen. sophomore. girlfriend. mischievous. violent. loves to hurt people. dangerous. intelligent. likes violence. "i tempt people then kill them" Jess Weixler.
Something wicked this way comes. Crissy is a really messed up person. She enjoys hurting people and seems to have zero regard for human life. She's beaten up several people so badly they've had to go to the hospital. She enjoys watching violence and participating in it, too! She's killed three older men but no one knows. Of course, if they were willing to have sex with a fourteen year old (at the time) then they deserved to die. She loves to win people over with her looks and her body. But usually after having sex with them she kills them. Especially the elderly perverts she specializes in. She's been doing this since she was fourteen and has killed at least eight people, but no one managed to figure out it was her. Her specialty is maiming their boy bits, seperating them from the body. Leon has been the only guy she's been serious about and hasn't had the urge to kill. Of course those two remind one of Bonnie and Clyde. She's a wicked girl indeed.
HALSTON JACOB HARTWELL
eighteen. senior. brother. outgoing. immature. funny/goofy. sweet. quiet. "I wish I wasn an only child" Mark Hoppus.
Halston is Leon's older brother by two years. The two were never close growing up. But since Leon went completely ballistic at fourteen he felt it his duty to love and care for him. He is the total opposite of Leon; sweet, even-tempered and immature. But where he has been trying so hard to help his brother and love him it's only made him hate his brother. He despises Leon whole heartedly but keeps on a happy, brotherly face for everyone. Inside he wishes he was an only child and wouldn't complain if his brother up and died.
MARKUS DANIEL KIEDIS - 24 - LOCAL - BISEXUAL - "SHE OVERDOSED AND IT'S ALL MY FAULT"
JACKSON 'JACK' MICHAEL HARROWS
twenty-four. local. best friend. musician. Adderall addict. hyper. crazy. caring. loyal. funny. "i am addicted to adderall" Flea/Michael Balzay.
Jack is Markus's best friend. The two met in high school and became best friends almost instantly. They both have this hyper but loveable personality that makes you want to hug them then run away. Jack is almost as hyper as Markus only because he snorts Adderall which hypes him up. He also plays a filthy mean bass line. Jack is a bit of a nut and people jokingly call him 'Tweak' cause he reminds them of the South Park character that can't stop twitching and seems insane. Of course he would say he's more like Beavis. He has his moments of sheer insanity but otherwise he's just a loveable goof. He's very friendly and loves to make people feel welcome wherever he goes. He has a mischevious streak a mile long, though, which leads him to often pull pranks on his friends. He's a music lover of course as anyone can tell when they hear him play bass. People don't seen to notice that he's addicted to anything, they just assume he's crazy.
DARREN -MIDDLE NAME- -LAST NAME-
twenty-five. local. best friend. drug dealer & guitarist. outgoing. funny. sweet. nervous. generous. loyal. "i sell drugs to provide for my child" Dave Ghrol.
Darren and Markus also met in high school. Back then Markus was looking for someone to play guitar for him and Darren more than jumped at the opportunity. During their high school years he, Markus, and Jack became known as the Terror Trio at their school because they caused havok and were best friends. After high school Markus moved off to Seattle where he became a drug dealer. Eventually he moved to Liption around the same time as Markus and they've become best friends again. He even helps provide drugs for the band. Darren has a very laid-back attitude towards life and comes across as somewhat shy. He seems perpetually nervous but only in like he's always waiting on something to happen. Somewhat paranoid. He does seem to love life and have a hold on it for the most part. He's very generous which earned him a lot of monetary loss over the years by giving away drugs to his friends. Little does anyone know, not even Markus and Jack, that he has a daughter with a girl in LA. He actually picked up selling drugs around Lipton to pay for his child support.
DANIEL 'DANNY' MATTHEW KIEDIS
sixteen. high school junior. nephew. antisocial. rowdy. rebellious. skater. hyper. "i'm hiding a heroin addiction" Emile Hirsch in Lords Of Dogtown.
Danny is Markus's nephew. When Markus's brother passed away Danny and Danny's sister Bliss came to live with him. Danny is going through his rebellious stage right now and pissing off everyone around him. He's a skater punk who loves to take risks and has a lot of anger issues from his dad's death. He hasn't seen his mom since he was three, and no one even knows if she is alive or not. He loves to be loud and rowdy. After seeing his uncle shoot up so many times (without Markus knowing of course) he decided to see what all the fuss was about. After his second time shooting up he was addicted. He's been trying to keep it a secret.
VIDA ALEXANDRA MORRISON
twenty-two. local. lover & baby mama. Hyper. Sweet. Sneaky. Attention-seeker. Heroin addict. "i hate my sister and am glad she's dead" Heather Christie.
Vida is the late Vivian Morrison's little sister. And though there was a four year age difference the two could have easily passed for twins. Vida is almost exactly like her sister in looks and even quite alike in personality. After Vivians death Vida was there to console Markus which eventually led to their getting high together and their having sex. After that every time the two got high together sex was always involved and most of the time Vida got called by her older sister's name. Eventually Vida kind of became a reincarnation of her older sister, shocking everyone around her. The once hard-headed and 'non-conformist' Vida had become her sister all because she was jealous. Of what you may ask? Well, originally Vida had a crush on Markus and they were friends, having known one another from skateboarding. But when Vivian came into the equation Vida was a third wheel. Her older sister, who'd always taken everything she wanted and was the 'perfect child', had stolen Markus from her. Vivian didn't know and didn't mean to, but Vida never forgave her. So after Vivian's death she sought to get what should have been rightfully hers. Becoming Vivian in the process.
When Vida and Markus would hook up before Vivian died (always because he was so high he thought she was Vivian) it never progressed. Eventually Vida got pregnant though at the time told Markus she was positive it wasn't his. After Vivian's death and Markus moving away Vida felt he needed to know the truth. She moved to Lipton six months ago and told him the truth; that Colton was his child. As if anyone who knew Markus and knew Colton couldn't tell! Colton was a minature of Markus in terms of mannerisms and personality even if he does resemble his mother more. So now she's trying to put the family back together again and start a new life with the man she loves.
BLISS SKYE KIEDIS
five. local. niece. hyper. outgoing. friendly. sweet. kind. "he's the only dad i know" Honor Marie Warren.
Bliss is Markus's niece. She is his world and he has basically taken on the daddy role with her. He loves her very much and it's evident she basically inherited he and Jesse (her father)'s personality. She is bubbly, friendly and loves to be friends with anyone. She is also very stubborn like her father was. Bliss has been Markus's world until he found out about Colton. Even after Markus found out he had a son Bliss has still been his baby girl. He acts as though she is his gravitational force and had been the reason he'd tried so many times to give up the heroin.
DANIELLE 'DANI' MARY KIEDIS
Twenty-six. Local. Straight. Sister. Stern. Caring. Realist. Sober. Talented. Worrisome. "i refuse to lose control again" Alanis Morissette.
Dani is Markus's older sister by two years. The two weren't extremely close growing up but were always very competative. After high school Dani moved off to NYC to persure a career in acting and singing. After the death of Jesse she was willing to take custody of the children. But in the will Danny and Bliss were left to the care of their godfather, her brother Markus, which enraged her. Dani has known about Markus's struggle with a heroin addiction and even though she believed he had quit she still felt he was an unfit gaurdian. When Danny called her and said that Bliss had found needles and syringes in the back of a cabinet six months ago Dani freaked. She called Markus and said she knew about his continuing addiction and wanted to meet with him. They met up at Dani's apartment in Brooklyn and Markus broke down. He confessed he'd still been doing heroin and that he was responsible for Vivian's death and that he felt terrible and was a failure. Dani was startled to see her bright, optimistic older brother seem so lost and depressed. She offered to move to Lipton to help take care of the kids. She has begun moving and spends her weekends in Lipton and weeks at home in NYC.
COLTON MARKUS KIEDIS
four. local. son. hyper. outgoing. risk taker. friendly. courageous. "i have ADHD" Everly Bear Kiedis.
Colton is Markus's four year old son with his on again-off again girlfriend Vida. The last six months have been hectic for the little boy since his Markus is just getting to bond with him. Markus was originally told by Vida that Colton was not his child despite everyone adamantly saying how much he looked and acted like Markus. Even Markus had his own suspicions, but took Vida at her word. Six months ago Vida felt Markus needed to know the truth and Colton deserved a father. So she moved them to Blue Woods and told Marlus the truth. Ever since Markus has been trying to spend every second he can with the little boy. And surprisingly to everyone Colton acts as though he never doubted in his four-year-old mind that Markus was anything but his father. The duo are almost parallel in personality and even highly resemble each other in facial expressions and mannerisms.
Colton is a hyperactive but friendly child who loves to meet new people and like his father is very outgoing. He's got that same cali-boy personality as his dad and enjoys spending time with loved ones. But like his father he also has a mischevious streak and is prone to behavioral issues on occasion.
NIVEK ALESTAIR DIESIRA - 20 - LOCAL - BISEXUAL - "I HATE MYSELF FOR FAILING MY FAMILY"
WISTERIA SPRING DIESIRA
seventeen. high school senior. sister. shy. timid. sweet. caring. pascifist. easily frightened. sensitive. "i am emotionally abused by my parent(s)" Emily Browning.
Wisty is the middle child of the Diesira kids. Like her sisters and brother she's seen far too much abuse for her seventeen years. Her father has continued to emotionally abuse Wisty since Niv and Arwen left. It's only increasingly gotten worse since her big brother left, actually. She shows the signs of an abused child often being timid, skittish and very shy. She's easily spooked by loud noises or fast movements and is highly sensitive to the criticsim of others. But growing up in such a volatile household has shaped her into a total pascifist. She refuses to ever hurt anyone, lift a hand to anyone or otherwise make life uncomfortable for people. Despite being so abused and a mess she's made her way in the world taking care of kids. Kids and animals have become her two biggest passions in life and she spents her weeks working part-time at a daycare and her weekends doing any volunteer work with the shelters and nursing homes as possible. If one had to compare Wisty to anything they would think Bambi.
ENVER 'EN' JOESPHE' EASTON
twenty two. local. best friend/bromance. Flirty. Man-whore. Funny. Hyper. Competative. "i'm a manwhore because i am scared to commit" Joel Zimmerman/Deadmau5.
En is pretty much Nivek's other male-half. The two have this awkwardly competative bromance. They are best friends, for sure. The two often to shows together and spend a lot of time hanging out off-stage. They've done remixes and 'vs' and mash-ups together. People joke that they are so opposite and yet so perfectly alike. They are both hyper, bright personalities on stage. En is a funny, flirty manwhore. He loves to be the center of attention and be the best at whatever he does. He has a competative nature that can sometimes borderline on obnoxious.
The two met at Nivek's first DJ gig over-seas in Germany and have been best friends ever since.
MARCELL 'CELLO' SEVAN TOROSIAN
twenty three. local. friend. Fiesty. Flirty. Hot tempered. Musically obsessed. Volatile."i can't help but drink every day" Daron Malakian.
Cello, as he's been dubbed by his friends, is the kind of guy you want to party with all night long. He has a wild and crazy streak that makes it hard to find something he isn't willing to try once. He loves to party and be out and about; a total social butterfly. But, as with any great guy there's a catch. See, one cannot allow Cello to get totally shitfaced, or else. Cello has a major problem with his anger, attributing to why his arrest record is a mile long, and it often gets him into a lot of trouble; both with friends and legally. Let us not forget the one time a few years back that some heckler kept mouthing off to him, resulting in Cello grabbing the guy and half-strangling him with a microphone cord. He spent eight months locked away for that one. Surprisingly though he can be the coolest most fun guy in the world when he's not drunk, but just remember the 'evil Cello' lurking beneath. He is volatile, though, having an issue with respect and with drugs. Cello becomes totally unhinged and paranoid when he does certain types of drugs, plus he comes from a Middle Eastern country where women are beneath men. This results in a lot of domestic abuse issues when he gets angry. He can't help but drink every day though, for a number of reasons. He tries to escape the pain of his past, in which he killed a pregnant girlfriend and caused another one to miscarry also severely injuring his own father,he's managed to keep hidden and also to keep the world out of his head.
Nivek and Cello met at summer concert in Armenia a few summer's back and became close friends.
KATRIN 'RIN' LIV SONJE AKA DJ KAT SCRATCH
Eighteen. Local. Straight. Female. Friend. Hyper. Funny. Sweet. Pretty. Child-like. Naive."i crashed into the tree on purpose" Alexandra Stan.
Katrin is a very sweet, loveable person. It just seems to come with her child-like and friendly personality. Indeed, Rin is known as being very innocent and child-like, almost bordering immature. No one seems to know exactly why she acts this way, but she's like everyone's little sister. They all bother with keeping an eye on her, watching over her, and caring for her, Nivek especially. She loves to have fun and be around people she likes, though comes across as wary and almost bashful around new people at first. But once she gets to know you she becomes your best friend. Due to her child-like innocence she's also quite naive and prone to getting herself in sticky situations. Four years ago Rin was in a bad car accident where she lost control of the car and crashed into a tree, resulting in several months in the hospital and over two years of rehabilitation before she could even walk again. Part of her child-like naitiveity is due to this car accident. Everyone assumed her car had hit a patch of black ice and spun out of control, only that wasn't the case. It did hit black ice and crash but it was by Rin's own hand. At the time she was depressed over recently losing her big brother to a drug addiction, her mother's depression, and her own issues of self-worth. She decided to end her life by crashing into the tree. To this day everyone believes it was an accident and that she's always been happy and a ray of sunshine. But her mental health as well as her physical health (she still walks with a mild limp in her right leg and has many scars over her stomach and chest) has suffered.
Rin met Nivek at a DJ event in Sweden last year and his protective, caring personality led him to befriend her.
TOVIA JETTE ALTENA
twenty one. local. complicated relationship/crush. Distant. Moody. Closed-off. Hurting. Addict. Guilty. "i could’ve stopped him from killing her, but i didn’t." Skylar Grey.
Tovia started out as Nivek's project. As terrible as that sounds, it's the truth, since he wanted nothing more than to help her. She was this withdrawn, closed-off, addict singer. He saw a potentinal in her to be something amazing and wanted nothing more than to fix her. So he befriended her, even if it did take several months, and the two became very close. Tovia relied on Nivek to get her through so many bad times, including a near-overdose. She always seems so sad and quiet when she's off stage. She's a cutter, an addict, and a total mess. But he loves her, truly loves her. All he wants to do is protect her from the bad in the world. But it seems she keeps slipping farther away. Tovia is depressed and socially withdrawn, but at least she knows she will always have Niv. They've never really bothered to say they were dating, but it's so obvious to outsiders. Almost as obvious as the fact she resembles his sister Arwen both physically and emotionally.. but that's just a coincedence, right? Tovia has so many guilt issues it's unbelievable. See, in their junior year of high school she and her best friend Marima had been involved with a bad crowd. Marima had told Tovia that her boyfriend was planning on killing her that weekened because he had caught her with another man. But after she had confided in Tov, she made her best friend swear to tell no one. And instead of going to the cops like a good friend should have she kept mum. And that weekend she recieved a call from Marima's sister telling her they'd found Mar stabbed to death by her boyfriend. And Tovia has held herself responsible ever since, though telling no one why.
Tovia met Niv three years ago in Germany at a concert. They were good friends and became a complicated 'item' last year.
RHINE AVERY FITZGERALD - 20 - COLLEGE - STRAIGHT - "I AM PREGNANT AND MY GAY BEST FRIEND IS THE FATHER"
CORREN SETH VINCENT
twenty. college. baby's father/best friend. Fierce. Flambouyant. Fiesty. Mouthy. Smug. Fashionista. "i am gay but i am falling for her" Michael Cera.
Corr is Rhine's best friend. The two met back in Seattle in high school where they became best friends through a chance meeting. The two have been inseperable since the first day of ninth grade. Four months ago Rhine's then-boyfriend broke up with her leaving the poor girl an emotional wreck. Corr had her come stay the night at his dorm and the two got drunk and ended up sleeping together, even though he is gay. It was a one night thing the two vowed to never speak of again but ever since Corr has developed confusing feelings of love towards Rhine. Though he'd never tell her that. Two months went by and Rhine called Corr to tell him they needed to have a serious talk.
Corr showed up at Rhine's dorm where she broke down sobbing and handed him a positive pregnancy test. Rhine was now two months pregnant with Corr's child. The two formulated a plan and Rhine convinced Brent, the ex who broke her heart, that it was his child and he excitedly agreed to be there. Corr is secretly elated that Brent has nothing to do with her. He is 100% gay and has been since high school. But Corren slowly finds himself falling more and more in love with Rhine. To keep from further complicating things he's taken the role as 'Uncle Corren' and keeps his opinions to himself.
Corren has a light-hearted but dramatic personality as well as his height of only 5'5" making him an ideal target for bullies. He is a very friendly, outgoing, and hyperactive person who welcomes new friends. He's eternally optimistic and believes that everything bad results in some good at a later time. He is known for being a fashion student and drama student, he hopes to become a designer for broadway or act on broadway someday.
twenty. college. twin brother. Highly intelligent. Nerdy. Shy around girls. Thinks highly of his intelligence. Excells at science, biology, and mathematics and technology. "i act like i am experienced, but i'm still a virgin" Rhett Fitzgerald.
Rhett is Rhine's twin brother and family genius. He displayed an above average intelligence all his life which grew as he got older resulting in his 205 I.Q. He is a brilliant person who, despite being so intelligent, is majorly lacking in the social arena.
Rhett doesn't know how to communicate well with non-geeks or brainiacs, having little to no interest in most of the movies, tv shows, and music that today's kids listen to. And since he has an advanced vocabulary it comes as no surprise that he has a hard time just communicating his thoughts sometimes. He's still very friendly and eagerly tries to make people feel welcome and accepted. He is also very shy around girls, especially pretty or popular girls. Rhine often tries to set him up with girls from her classes but nothing really becomes of it. He excells at math, biology, and science in particular and his goal is to someday become a famous scientist as well as a science professor at Columbia. Rhine is very overprotective of her twin brother and spends a lot of time with him.
Rhine is proud to have such a smart brother though sometimes becomes irritated when he uses large vocabulary and scientific terms to explain things. It's not as though Rhine is stupid, in fact she has an above average IQ and is quite the brainiac herself. Rhine knows that it's hard for Rhett to fit in but thankfully her small group of friends has folded him into their conversation. Everyone assumes poor Rhett is totally as experienced as any other college kid. But to be perfectly honest the poor kid is still a virgin and hasn't even gotten to second base except once by accident. He brags like he's had a load of experience, his share of sexual adventures, but they're all lies.
BRENTWOOD 'BRENT' ANDRIEUS HAMLITON
twenty two. college. ex boyfriend/thinks he's the father. highly intelligent. artsy. moody. indie. funny. cheater. hypocrite. "i act like i hate her, but I still love her" Nick Zano.
Brent is exactly the type of guy Rhine would normally fall for. And under better circumstances it would seem Brent and Rhine were made for one another. But you see, Brent has this terrible fear of comittment due to his parent's divorce when he was six. So when the topic came up of Rhine moving in with Brent he totally freaked out. He went out that evening and slept with some random college freshman who meant nothing to him. The supposed one-night stand turned into something that happened three more times before Rhine finally caught the two in the act. Brent was heartbroken but in his mind if Rhine would have stopped pushing the commitment then he would have never cheated, so it was her fault. Brent tells everyone he hates her and that she was clingy and pushy. But really he's still madly in love with her and wants her back...but can't risk hurting her again. When she came to him and told him that she was four months pregnant he was excited but scared to be a father! But who wouldn't be, right? So instead he said he'd help pay for the child support and care, but wanted nothing to do with her.
Now the highly intelligent artist has to make some tough decisions. But even he can't figure them out just yet.
ALLISON 'ALI' -MIDDLE NAME- FREDRICKS
nineteen. college. best friend. Has nightmares. Tortured artist. Anxious. Quiet. Shy. "i know who killed my family" Fiona Apple.
Ali is Rhine's friend through the fact they both share a similar tragedy. Ali's grew up in a poor neighborhood where gunshots served as her luallabyes. One night her mother stumbled in drunk after a night of prostituting when Ali was six years old. This was not an uncommon occurance in the Fredrick's household. Ali's father had come in and told everyone to hide. Her mother began to argue with her father as much as he screamed at them to go hide. The next thing she remembers is the door being busted off of it's hinges. Ali hid under the staircase as two men, dressed like thugs, came in and argued with her dad about money. Her dad shoved the guy and a physical fight broke out. Ali hid, silent, under the stairs as the fight escalated and her parents were shot infront of her. It took three days for the cops to show up and take her to be given a psych evaluation and then rehomed in a foster home. By the time she was ten years old she'd been in 12 foster homes, thrown from family to family. Finally an couple took her in and formally adopted her. They got rid of Ali's bad habits of physical violence and anger and turned it into something productive by giving her a camera. Photography became Ali's obsession. It was a way to keep each of the good and bad memories she had and be able to get rid of them when she wanted to. Ali and Rhine met their 4th years at Sven. Ali is eccentric, sweet-tempered, socially withdrawn, smart, anxious, and a tortured artist.
See, Ali sort of knew about all of this. Ali had been hearing for weeks, from her secret hiding spots around the house, that her dad was planning on killing her mother. He hired the two guys to come in and kill his entire family after his drug use had become out of control and he'd lost his mind entirely. But little did they know that he was going to fight back....and he died along with them. She doesn't tell anyone she knows, or that she knows exactly who the two men are. And that is something she's even kept from the police as the case went unsolved and into the archives.
SALEM ALARIC BURROUGHS - 19 - COLLEGE - BISEXUAL - "MY MOM KICKED ME OUT WHEN SHE FOUND ANOTHER GUY IN MY BED."
MATTIAS JANNE KORHONEN
nineteen. college. best friend. Suffers from selective mutism. intelligent. musical. shy. sweet. " i'm not in love with her anymore, but i'm scared of what she's going to do if i break up with her." Mikko Linde Lindstrom.
Mattias and Salem are best friends. The two met back in Finland at school and became quite close. Mattias came from a poverty-stricken family comprised of a drunken, addict father and an addict, dealing mother. Six months after the friends met, Mattias's parents were arrested and put in prison for felony trafficking. Mattias moved in with the Burroughs family and has remained with them ever since. Mattias and Salem are more like brothers than just best friends and can always rely on one another when times are tough. Mattias drug Salem out of the dark reccesses of the Finland goth scene and was there to help make him see the light, and to support him. The two play music together where Mattias's gift of guitar and bass are evident. Mattias suffers from selective mutism in large crowds or in public settings.
Mattias has seemed overjoyed to be with the girl he's with. If only it were that simple. Only Salem knows the real truth; that his current girlfriend threatens to kill herself every time he suggests breaking up. In fact he even tested this theory once and his girlfriend ended up in the hospital after trying to slit her wrists. Mattias is miserable with this girl but there is nothing he can do. He can't have the responsiblity of someone's suicide weighing on his shoulders.[/size]
