Name: Marc Antony Shamrock Gender: Masculine
Sexuality: It's a mystery. He doesn't really think along the lines of 'oh i like this person' it's more like 'oh hey this person is fun!' but he never really stays with someone long enough to turn it into any sort of physical relationship. So it's just hard to guess what kind of person he's interested in.
Age and Grade: He's 17, a Junior
Date of Birth: October 11th
Appearance:
Marc has lovely coal black hair in a messy sort of way. Always sticking up all over the place. He's of a tall semi-athletic build and he's definitely got some sort of toning in his muscles. His eyes aren't anything too special, just a creamy chocolate brown color. Nothing to swoon over. It's his smile that most people notice first, and his confident little strut that he likes to walk with. People usually aren't all that surprised if he wears a boa when he walks, just to add dramatic flare to things
Distinctive Markings: Ummm none? Oh wait...he does have a tattoo... It's on the back of his neck and all he remembers about it is that he was in some sort of parlor raving about how 'that's so deep man!' obviously drunk out of his mind.
(view spoiler)
History: Marc has always known about the Brotherhood, after all his father was part of it back when his father went to highschool and to college even. But then after his brotherhood days were done his father became like this little ugly bump on a log. Worthless and without a purpose in life. So Giovanni took to drinking, but he did cultivate a certain disgust for the high ranking members of society. Especially those damned Quintons, I mean. What made them so special that they got everything they ever wanted in life practically handed to them on a silver platter. Especially that Alexis.
Ever since he started gradeschool he's despised one member of the populars above all others. That idiotic Aeryon Hollis, I mean honestly the girl is the most annoying thing he's ever come across since like Alexis. In fact he tends to think Aeryon is worse than Alexis, because Alexis is bound by class, but Aeryon just seems to send off those 'come hither' looks to anything that walks past her. He has his own theories about her trying to act like she's interested in girls just to get more popular.
All throughout his life Marc has been that easy going guy. He's the class clown, the one that makes everyone laugh and when there is a substitute? He's the one that distracts him so that the class gets off with less work and gets easier days in school. He's that nice, 'hey we should all go bowling' kind of guy. And he is definitely fun to have around at parties. But he never takes things seriously, which is why he isn't part of Alexis' circle. I mean to be Popular you have to be willing to take some things seriously. And Marc doesn't take one single thing seriously. Or at least he appears not to.
He's not completely under the radar at school, mostly because he's basically the best guy to go to if you want to get some kegs at your party and not get caught. I mean, Marc just calls up Jarred and gets some strings pulled so that if there are any complaints Jarred gets the call and then says that everything was fine. Turns out lying and being a good actor are traits that run in the family. Who knew?
Reason for Being in the Brotherhood: It's a family legacy thing. Not to mention he wants to tear that stupid attention whore, Aeryon's reputation to pieces.
Assigned: Messenger (He delivers info); Aeryon!
Family:
Caroline Milica Shamrock: She's a waitress. At Hooters. But if you say any sort of crack comment about her you might just find yourself to be Marc's next target. She may not have the best job in the world, but she does what she does to provide for her family.
Giovanni Marc Shamrock: Drunken wastard of a father he spent his life drinking and spending Caroline's money. When Marc was ten Giovanni tried to rob a bank....ended up shooting his own foot, but he still was sent to jail anyway.
Kaylee Annabelle Shamrock: She's one of those super sweet smart girls. Marc is constantly trying to get her to stand up for herself. She's only in middle-school.
Jarred Lucas Shamrock: He's about 26 now, a full time police officer, and a former member of the brotherhood. Although he wasn't nearly as devoted as Giovanni and he didn't really care if Marc was a part of it or not. To Jarred it was just some silly legacy thing.
Personality: Marc is quite the playful adventurous type. He's outgoing and is apparently fearless about everything he does. When he speaks to people he'll tell them exactly what is on his mind and he's definitely not afraid of the opinions of others. Marc is the kind of guy who would be able to walk into school in his bathrobe and boxers and still look professional. He oozes confidence. It's just a part of who he is, don't like it? well he honestly doesn't care.
Marc isn't really one to do the chasing when it comes to romantic things but every now and then he does enjoy a good chase. He likes attention though. He likes to be noticed and when he's not noticed well....it can put him in a sour mood sometimes. While he's been described as moody he prefers to say he's emotionally truthful. He's not going to put up a mask of BS in front of you and pretend that everything is perfectly fine if he's upset about something. But when he gets upset he's more like a spoiled child complaining about things. While his flirtatious nature gives off the appearance he's fickle with his affection that's definitely not the case. When he falls for someone he falls hard and he won't ever give up on them.
He's very loyal and he'd follow his trusted friends to the end of the world and back, but break that trust and chances are you'll never ever get that trust back. He's not one to forgive easily, but perhaps with time it might occur. Haha yeah right. You break that trust and he's going to treat you like your some little cockroach on the bottom of his shoe. Completely worthless and disgusting.
You do not want to see Marc when he's mad. If you are actually a big enough ass to get him upset it's not a pretty sight. He'll say hurtful words and prey on the weaknesses of whoever got him mad and he'll stew in his anger for quite awhile. Once you get him mad he's not one to let go of his anger too easily and will instead most likely hold a grudge. Of course if you get him mad, he most likely will just stash away this hatred and wait until years later and then when you least expect it? he's going to crush you.
Strengths:
❅ His Confidence, when one is as confident as he is. It's hard to see faults in them, when someone is so certain that they are great or wonderful it's very hard for people to find something that gets a negative reaction from him
❅ His seeming inability to take things seriously. I mean any insult thrown his way? Expect it to be greeted by an overly gallant bow and a very 'heartfelt' "Thank you"
❅ His acting skills. He's spent all his life acting confident so acting like anything else? Oh yeah it's a piece of cake.
❅ Patience. While he may seem the opposite, that kind of guy who is always on the go and that sort of thing, he can be very patient.
❅ His brother. With a cop for a brother he's not completely worthless to the popular kids, but he's not their friend either. He just has some sort of pull on the parties and stuff. A small pull no doubt. But a pull.
❅ His personality. While that may not seem a strength. Everyone knows Marc as a goofball. So if he slips up now and then and someone sees his vengeful side? He can just break out in a grin and laugh it off saying he was kidding and with that personality of his? Oh yeah people will believe he was 'just kidding'.
Weaknesses:
✖ Alcohol. He likes it. That's not his fault, it's another issue of the family. But the thing is...get a few shots of pure alcohol in this guy and he's willing to tell you anything. That's why he has to be careful to limit himself to a few drinks
✖ His parents. God it's embarrassing coming from a family of so little and surrounded by all these privileged brats. Still he would stand up for his mom in a heartbeat. his dad? ehhh not so much.
✖ Cats. He likes them. So sue him. And if someone ever gave him a kitten for any sort of occasion? Oh yeah. Putty in their hands.
✖ School. He doesn't like to do his classwork. People consider him lazy, and he is. He really hates to do the school work and he's that guy that at the end of the quarter turns in like all these assignments just to pass with some C's.
✖ Hatred. He really...really, really hates Aeryon. And you know what he might lose his patience if he gets a moment alone with her. Just being around her makes him want to gag sometimes.
Likes:
❅ Cats. He loves them. Soft and cuddly and they fit in your arms. What's not to love? Not to mention they have a habit of showing up where you least expect them...like in your sink.
❅ Snow. He loves the snow. And the cold weather. Basically he just loves winter. Sledding is the bomb. Not to mention that he's a skilled ice skater. Not like figure skating. Just that he knows how to skate.
❅ Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. The authentic stuff. None of that low fat or reduced fat crap.
❅ Holidays. He really just likes holidays in general. I mean hello?! The best parties are during the holidays. Oh yeah, any sort of holiday? Any sort of party really and he's there. Whether you want him to be or not. He's a bit of a party crasher, but people don't usually throw him out.
❅ Drinking. That warm fuzzy feeling of being buzzed is the best. And when things get a little blurry and your tongue feels kinda heavy and you start saying funny things? Somehow that only makes things more fun and exciting.
Dislikes:
✖ Aeryon. Dislikes is a little too light of a word though. He hates her. More so than all those other snooty popular bitches and bastards.
✖ Hangovers. Man they suck.
✖ That black out period after you drink too much. When you wake up and you can't remember what happened? Oh yeah that is weird and it sucks too. Especially when you wake up wearing a ballerina tutu out in a field with your hair dyed pink and a unicorn drawn on your chest. Yeah that is the worst....or so he's heard. Not that that has ever happened to him...Psssht.
✖ Cows. Satan's creatures man. They are just plain old creepy. I mean he doesn't know how to explain it. But he really just doesn't like cows.
✖ Homework. There should be a law against it. Kids go to school to do work. Why does it have to follow them home as well? Nope. He just despises it. There is no reason for homework to exist.
✖ When people make smart comments about his mom. I mean yeah she doesn't work at the best place in the world. But it's a job and that is all that really matters.
Other: People in the brotherhood know him as simply Lucky.
Mask: A golden dragon is lucky. no?

Mod
Gender: Masculine
Sexuality: It's a mystery. He doesn't really think along the lines of 'oh i like this person' it's more like 'oh hey this person is fun!' but he nev..."
He shall get assigned as a. . . .
Messenger!
Pretty self explanatory, yes ?
And his subject is:
Aeryon!
Basically meaning, whenever he finds out anything that could be considered useful for revenge means, he's expected to give it to higher authority. AKA a Big Brother/Sister.
Name: Vivienne Noel Soreto Nickname:"Viv" "ViVi" Or "Noel" by her foster mother or her son.She was given her full name when her parents were murdered.A police officer gave it to her,by reading a weather worn birth certificate to her.Vivienne used to be called Angeline Raquelle for years.She sometimes signs her name that way,unconciously.Who can blame her? She signed one of her paintings that way,and it could be what she is called under her alternate personality.Viv doesn't know for sure,as no one told her.
*Called Noelle or Gray and the Latin word for it,which is Canitia.(view spoiler)by The Brotherhood.
Gender:Female
Sexuality:Straight
Age and Grade:16 and a Junior.
Date of Birth:March 17th
Appearance:
Vivienne's eyes are one of the most interesting aspects about her.They are blue,but not quite.They are blue tinged with dark brown,and no one can avoid them.Once she looks at you or vice versa,your'e under her spell,so too speak.The rest of her is something.Light blond hair and blue brown eyes.Vivienne has some muscle on her,as she is somewhat athletic.Her smile isn't like any other,as her foster mother puts it.Vivienne is 5'3,slighty taller than her foster mother.She has some freckles from being in the sun so long.Also,Vivienne looks like someone you can mess with.
But her appearence is decieving in many ways.You could end up dead when,if,you meet her while she is in her other personality if you are not careful.
Distinctive Markings:A tiny tattoo as a birthday present on her right shoulder.It is a pale blue star superimposed on a moon.Ironically,she shows it to no one.Not even Henry.
History:To fully understand Vivienne,or at least try to understand,one must go to the begining of her story...
Vivienne was born on a somewhat cold March.Where? No one,even her,knows for certain.Her parents kept it a secret from her.No matter how hard she pressed them,they wouldn't tell.It seemed strange at the time,when she was just a small child.Then it all changed when she was 12:Cops rushed into her house in the middle of the night,and arrested her parents,right on the spot...Or at least that was what she thought at the time.She got it all wrong.
Her parents were murdered soon after she was born.And the people raising her wern't even related to her.They kidnapped her as a baby then killed her parents in cold blood.That is what she was told,and it devestated her.The first 12 years of her life were lived with total strangers.Then another twist comes in,two years later:They were serial killers,her parents victims of them.At 14,this was even more of a chrushing blow.She lived with serial killers as parents most of her life.After her "parents" were arrested,she was sent to live in another town with other people.An orphannage,basically,but she went to public school.People avoided her,but not for reasons many would think.They were afraid.They were afraid she could kill them,that she picked up 'tips' from her serial killer parents.People believed anything about her.Long story short,she got kicked out of that school and subsequently the orphanage.Only she knows what happend,that she scared a teacher and kid senseless one day,casuing the teacher to die for reasons unknown and causing the kid to twitch uncontroably and eventually being put in special care.Vivienne tells no one about the incident.Ever.No one needs to know in her opinion.There is a twist though:She barely knows anything of it,and the memory is a vague blur.
Added on 2/4/13-Vivienne also has a serum,given too her secretly by the orphanage,that controls her alternate personality even further.She uses it every two weeks to keep the alternate personality at bay,and it worked for years.It is also the only surefire way to get her back to herself when the other personality becomes extremly violent,and the orphanage delievers it to her house and she injects herself with it.But there are a few problems with the serum:The alternate personality is becoming resistant to serum and Tina and Henry are becoming extremly suspicious of her.
Now,in Salem,taken care of by a foster mother and living with her son due to the above incident,she is going to try to forget the past and live a normal life,despite being in the Brotherhood.
Too late.And so very wrong.
Reason for being in The Brotherhood:She is cunning but sweet,and Vivienne somehow found her way in a high position.Her alternate personality helped also,maybe.Vivienne entered it also out of hidden guilt.Of what,she doen't know.She feels guilty for something though.All that is certain is that she entered it at the very end of her freshman year and rose in ranking.
Assigned: Internal Spy
Mask:Since she is a high ranking Little Sister and a Internal Spy in The Brotherhood,Vivienne decided to get a mask.It is somewhat fancy gray mask,and she wears gray contancts to disguise herself even further.(view spoiler)
Family:
Gwendolyn Andrea Soreto Vivienne's murdered mother.Viv only knows that her mother was a doctor,and that she her only daugther.She was found with wounds police couldn't identify.
Stephen Thomas Soreto Vivienne's murdered father.A construction worker and computer enginer who was there for the birth of his only daughter.Days later he was dead of stab and gunshot wounds.Those were the only wounds police could identify.
Tina Peliete Her current foster mother,the one who let her get a tattoo.She is a free spirt,an old soul,and a collecter of perfume and old rugs.Tina keeps Viv in check,in terms of personality and in discipline.
Henry Pelite-Scriton Tina's son,whom Vivienne has developed a close relationship too.He is a "Worker Bee" in the school,and they keep each other's secret of being in The Brotherhood.
Personality:As you can probably see,Vivienne is a tortured soul.Being raised by serial killers had that effect on her.They kept her sheltered,and never let her go anywhere during the day.For obvious reasons,she kept to herself more than usual people do.Vivenne has developed an alternate personality,and that personality got her into the Brotherhood.Cunning,Manipulative,Dangerous with a hint of Deception.Her other personality is completly the opposite.Caring,Helpful,Happy,Generous.Vivienne's alternate personality is uncontrolable,and she has no way of keeping it in check.Vivienne didn't make any friends or even tried to fall in love for that reason only.It would only hurt someone,maybe kill.The Brotherhood help her to an extent,and they and her foster mother and her son are the only people she can associate with.
Strengths:
->Her Strength and Stubborness.Vivienne is strong willed,and gets what she wants.Mostly.She is also strong willed and doesn't let things go easily.
->Her Eyes.Already explained.Oh,one more thing:They change color when she is under her alternate personality.They turn near white,almost translucent.But she doesn't know that,though.
->Her Imagination.Vivienne could possibly the most creative person anyone could meet.Being sheltered did that to her.And now she has an insane imagination,so to speak.
Weaknesses:
-> For one thing,her dangerous alternate personality.It is near uncontrollable,and she remebers nothing while she is in it.Her first bout of it was when she was 13 years old,when she fell unconcious and came to with screaming around her.
->Her sweet other nature.While when she is herself,she can let her self be fooled too easily.
Likes:
->Reading.Vivienne wasn't allowed to read much as a child,being restricted to a newspaer.Now she reads religiously,even though she isn't the best at it.Vivienne keeps stacks of books her room,classics including but not limited too: Romeo and Juliet,The Catcher in The Rye,The Great Gatsby, and The Grapes of Wrath
->Painting.Something Tina taught her.Vivienne has a gift,as Tina puts it,and paintings adorn her room in almost every corner.A self portrait.A landscape.Common things.Uncommon? Her parents,painted from a picture the police gave her when they were teenagers.She painted it when she was 15 years old,and it hangs right near her door.
->Perfume.Something from Tina also.Tina let Vivienne keep some of her old perfumes in her room,but not extremly rare ones.Viv believes it is one of the only things keeping her personality in check.
->Music.The first time she heard a song was in the shelter,coming from a T.V.Vivienne never heard it before,and it comforts and entertains her.Another thing that keeps her in check.She also plays guitar to some degree,something Tina insisted on.
Dislikes:
->Her alternate personality.Self explainitory.She only knows it exists by going into unconciousness and remembering nothing inbetween.
->Her isolation.She isolates her self a lot,even now.She can't help it.It was how she was raised.And she hates it with a passion but can't stop it.
->Her past.Also self explaintory.The shelter had to lie in some way to get her a foster mother,and guilt bites at her daily,not telling Tina that she was raised by killers and in The Brotherhood as well.She cannot get over it.
->The Populars.They get all the attention,and she hates it.Yet she isolates herself,somewhat subconciously,Vivienne still hates them for an unknown reason.And that makes torturing them more reasonable.
Other:Wears a necklace.But not just any necklace.The police gave it too her.Her mother was wearing it at the time at her death.It had some of her blood on it,and it is stained.The necklace itself isn't fancy,it's chain is made of some kind of wire.But it is different.It's once charm is a purple rose,and that part is speckled with her blood.

Mod
Court is assigned as a Hitter, for Felicity. This means he's in charge of making sure all the pranks and cruel things aimed in the direction of Felicity go smoothly.
Name: Margarete Lilian Proctor [Mar-ga-reet]Nicknames: Marge; Lily; Witch Proctor (Because she is a descendent of the John Proctor who was accused of witch craft and hanged. And there are rumors that she is probably a witch. [Yes there are people who believe they are witches].)
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight. No she has no interest in experimenting, although it's the joke of the school that she might because of the whole Marina incident.
Age and Grade: 17; Junior
Date of Birth: February 29th
Appearance:
Margarete has long, silky, chocolate brown hair which almost reached the end of her back, it's only about three inches short. Normally her hair is kept in a braid, left hanging down her back. Or on those rare occasions she leaves it open, but keeps it out of her face with a hair band. She is one of those lucky girls whose hair doesn't frizz or easily get knotted. She is also lucky enough to have curly hair. They aren't small, tight unmanageable curls. They were larger wavier curls which could be easily straightened and styled.
Her eyes are a beautiful deep chocolate brown. They can either show every emotion and feeling, being 'open' with the world. Or they can be 'closed' and show no emotion, blocking out the world from her inner self. The whole 'eyes are windows to the soul' thing. Yeah, that's like BS because her eyes are never like that. At the most, any glimpse of herself her eyes will give anyone are the fake emotions she wants the world to see.
She has a very thin frame, the type of thin that is on the brink of looking anorexic. Down from her long, slender fingers to her perfectly flat stomach. Though, her frame is completely natural. It's a genetic thing. Her older sister (who's in college) has the same thin frame and is constantly ridiculed for being too thin. It isn't their fault that they're so thin.
Overall, she is a girl who has been gifted with beauty. Though she herself doesn't acknowledge it, and because of that no one really notices either. She usually wears loose, long shirts over simple skinny jeans and converse shoes. Among the population of Salem High, she's just another pretty girl shot down the by the populars.
Eye Color: Deep Chocolate Brown
Hair Color: Dark brown (pic)
Height: 5' 6"
Distinctive Markings:
(view spoiler) This is her newest newest tattoo. She got it only a few weeks ago, during spring break. She loved the design and pattern and it sort of spoke to her. It reminded her of spring and spring is like a sign of growth and rebirth. The idea that something can be started over. She just likes that philosophy and wanted to represent and show it somehow.
(view spoiler) This was a tattoo she got at the beginning of the school year, sometime in September. It symbolizes how she feels about herself and all those held in the grip of the populars because they are too fearful of the consequences of what will happen to them. After the whole Marina thing, people learned to stay in their place. This is her way of saying that she is free and is no ones captive prisoner. She has freed herself.
(view spoiler) This was her first tattoo. She got it a week after her sixteenth birthday. It was a quote she read somewhere in a book and it really stood out to her. Its sort of a life motto thing for her. She's not entirely sure why it speaks to her so much or why she loves it. But it has some meaning so why not ink it on?
History: Oh, so before anything else is said it should be know that as mentioned before, Margarete is a descendent of John Proctor. For those familiar with the Crucible, her many greats grandfather was the son of the unborn child of John Proctor. Now, many may not be fully familiar with the Crucible so here is a short and vague synopsis about the play, which isn't completely accurate but gives a vague idea what happened three hundred years ago.
It all starts when the Reverend catches many of the towns girls dancing, a few naked, in the woods. When girls start to fear the true consequences they blame it on an innocent slave, Tituba, and say she forced them into witchery. After being whipped, Tituba 'confesses' to witch craft, and the girls see this as a sort of way out for other things and confess and start yelling put names of woman they saw with the devil.
Fast forward and John Proctor's wife, Elizabeth, is accused and arrested. She doesn't confess but is pregnant so she is safe, for the time being at least. To save his wife, John convinces one of the girls (who is a sort of servant in his house) to confess that it was all a joke. Mary Warren finally agrees and does but all the girls turn on her and say she is sending out her spirit against them and she becomes frustrated and says that John is a witch and forced her to lie in order to save herself. John is then arrested.
Flash forward a bit and he is given the choice to confess or die. He does sign the confession, but then he finds out that it will be put on the church door. And he says that he has lost everything and wants his name at least. So then after a big internal conflict he rips the confession. And soon after ward is hanged. This was an extremely vague synopsis and only shows little parts of Proctor's role. I would recommend watching the movie.
Flash forward three hundred years and the direct descended of John Proctor, John (yes, he was named after his ancestor) is falling in love with his college friend, Danielle. Both were sophomores of Boston University and had only just started to date. But both fell for each other hard and fast. They dated, on and off for sometime, until finally John asked Danielle to marry him. Three years later they had their first child, a son. Two years after that a daughter. Then five years later they had an unplanned child, and yes that child was Margarete.
Margarete was constantly compared to her older siblings. It was horrible, ever since she was little all she would hear was "Why can't you be more athletic like Michael?" or "Why can't you be smarter like Georgina?" Even for the littlest things she would he ridiculed then compared to them and would get the whole lecture of how she could be more like her older siblings and that she wasn't even supposed to be born and maybe they wouldn't mind raising her if she could just be a little more talented.
It may seem that her siblings would take advantage of this and be more arrogant and haughty towards their sister but they were actually more supportive of their youngest sibling. Despite the age gap of seven and five years they were all very close. They all knew that Michael didn't want to major in genetics, but wanted to go into business. Or how Georgina wanted to go to art school instead of med. And they all knew that Margarete was gifted with music and how she had a beautiful voice and wrote these amazing songs. For her twelfth birthday, her siblings had gotten her a guitar. She had already been staying after school and learning with her music teacher but now she had her own instrument and she loved it.
Overall her life was okay, that was until seventh grade. Her best friend, Carrie, had committed suicide. She hadn't said anything to Margarete about it, nor did she leave a note. She just killed herself just like that with a reason which no one has been able to discover to this day.
After Carrie's death, she spiraled into deep depression. She had started cutting herself to direct her pain somewhere and the only place she could think of was at herself. It wasn't until her mother discovered her covered in blood in the bath tub did anyone find out about her depression. They all thought she was just grieving deeply.
Though, it was then that her parents stopped with the verbal abuse. They felt, they knew that their words were cause for what led to their youngest daughter's near death situation. They did everything they could to fix that. They started to interact with her more. Do more things as a family with her. At one point all three of them even went to family therapy together.
It helped sort of. Though in eighth grade she was k own as the crazy girl because she had to see someone for her depression and was on meds. No one looked at her as the girl who had lost one of her closest friends. Nope she was just the crazy girl, which led to rumors about her being a witch and led to her new nickname: Witch Girl.
By high school all that had sort of died down and no one really cared for her past. She joined the brotherhood. And then the party thing happened. She met her best friends. And then the Felicity thing happened and Marina had to move away. And she almost spiraled back into depression, but her other bestie helped to keep her sane. And they have been there for each other since.
Reason for being in The Brotherhood: There is a list of reasons why Margarete is apart of the Brotherhood. She joined in freshman year. It was as a joke at first. Something to do just for fun. Really there was nothing more too it. It was like a side little hobby. She never really took it seriously.
But within the year things changed drastically. It all started with a Christmas party. Some popular senior invited her to his house for a party. Without thinking she had said yes and made plans to go. Her first party ever. She was super excited and couldn't wait. She ignored her fellow brotherhood members warnings and went anyway, thinking that maybe this was her chance to becoming popular. Little did she know, the party was more of an initiation of sorts. It was all the popular seniors teaching the freshman what the 'real world was like'. It was humiliating for her and these two other girls who were at that party. Each of them had been horribly ridiculed and humiliated.
One good thing did come out of it, the three girls bonded and became best friends and rejoined the Brotherhood with a new purpose. They took their oath against the populars much more seriously, vowing to destroy them.
Her view of the populars changed. They were no longer the people who were just there and had everything she wanted. They were like the accusers of her past. Those girl who cried witch against half of the village years ago. The people who destroyed the reputations of others for their own benefit. All the populars were just like that, working only for their benefit.
And then her urge to take down the populars became stronger after a particular incident in sophomore year. One of her best friends, Marina, had told off that girl, Felicity. Neither can remember why Marina did that, but it looked like she hit a soft spot when she called Felicity a whore and said she was nothing more than the school's prostitute. People still argue whether or not she deserved what Felicity did to her. For those who don't remember, Felicity hacked into Marina's account and posted a confession that the girl was coming out as a lesbian and then posted pics of girls in the locker room. And then, she sent an email from Marina to another popular girl, that Marina loved her. Because Marina could prove nothing against Felicity, she was suspended and eventually moved away because of the humiliation her family faced.
Since that day Margarete and her other best friend, Ashlynne (better known as Ash), have been determined to make Felicity's life miserable. They know that they can get the Big Sisters' status next year and they will have everyone go after, at whatever cost.
Assigned: Messenger for Everett Christopher Darling.
Family:
Father: John Proctor
Mother: Leah Proctor
Brother: Michael Jay Proctor
Sister: Georgina Elizabeth Proctor
Personality:
Margarete isn't as complicated as people make her out to
see. She finds herself a very simple person, if people put the effort to see,people can easily see her for how she is. Though, it's unfortunate to say that Margarete is lying about this. There is much more to her than meets the eye.
She is a girl of many shades and colors. Depending on whom she is interacting with, the shade will always be different. Towards populars, she is harsh. She will go head to head with them and not really care. Though that's only when they really piss her off. Normally she'll just ignore them. Though she isn't one to get out of their way if their walking in her direction. She'll get thrown into a locker before she moves out of their way. Sometimes she'll even shove herself into them when walking.
To most others around the school she is carefree and friendly. She will go up to most people and ask them how their day is going etc. Most people like her because of this. To them she is an easy person to get along with.
To teachers, she is that quiet girl who needs to learn to participate more and have some self confidence because most of the time she will have the right answers but just won't say anything.
To her parents, she is that quiet broken girl who lost two of her best friends and has (had) depression. To them she is a broken little girl in need of help and fixing. It's her wy of getting their attention. So what if she's not really depressed anymore? She's still a bit broken inside, healing but still broken. And this way they'll actually notice her.
To her siblings she is that goofy little sibling who is absolutely annoying or fun to have around. They both just ignore it when she's annoying though. From her siblings perspective she is just their little sister who just has a lot going on but is pushing past it and they admire her for that.
To the Brotherhood, she is the quiet girl with the menacing look, always awaiting orders and waiting to strike. To them she is sly and clever waiting for that day when they can take down each and everyone of those damned populars. Her enthusiasm is encouraged.
Though to everyone she is that girl obsessed with music as she always seems to have her head phones on and iPod in hand. And then that notebook she supposedly writes songs in. And most often her guitar with her as well. She is that one person who can recognize most musical artists, past and present. She's also that girl in choir with a beautiful voice, though most don't know that last part.
She is also a huge history nerd. If anyone were to catch her with a book it would be a history book. Though she is very obsessed with the witch trials of Salem. It's her biggest interest in history, followed by the Greek and Roman times, then women's rights movements and the list goes on.
Overall, Margarete has many sides to her. Most will only know one but there are those select few, like the Brotherhood, who know more than one. And then her best friend, Ash, who knows them all.
Strengths:
Determination: She will get what she wants no matter what it takes. Challenge her and bet she can't? All the more encouragement to go after whatever it is she wants.
Patience: She isn't as forward as other brotherhood members. She is willing to wait to achieve what she wants. Whether she has to wait hours or days, she will wait until the moment is perfect before doing what needs to be done.
Singing: Her voice is beautiful. There's no other way to put it. It's soft and sweet and stands out among the many choir students. She has promise, as her choir instructor says.
Composing: Margarete is very talented in music and has composed a few pieces. She wishes one day to be among the music composers and song writers of Broadway.
History: As mentioned before she is a huge history nerd. She can state historical facts like what happened when and why and involving who off the top of her head. But this knowledge isn't limited to common history taught in schools. She's also educated herself with the history of the brotherhood.
Weaknesses:
Temper: There are some things that will trigger her temper. These include but aren't limited to talks about Carrie, Marina, her having to visit a psychiatrist for her depression.
Guns: Carrie was said to have shot herself with a gun. Margarete was in the bathroom when it happened. Having heard the gun shot and then discovering her friend dead has scarred her and made her fearful of sudden loud noises. People can easily see her tense and bump in her seat.
Fireworks: Loud and sudden noises. It just brings back those memories of seeing Carrie dead and makes her want to run away and hide. During the fourth of July if anyone wants to find her, she will be hiding in her closet trying to block out the noise of the fireworks.
Trust: She has huge trust issues. She has this fear that she'll just be left alone and abandoned if she opens herself up to someone. Hence the broken little girl act. She needs to keep their attention so they don't leave her.

Other:
Name: Ashlynne Radiance BlackNickname: People just call her Ash, or if anything they call her Ray. Those in the brotherhood call her Fox.
Gender: Feminine
Sexuality: Straight. But sometimes she likes to play it up like she's a lesbian just to get a rise out of people. Although it's so obvious she's using sarcasm.
Age and Grade: 17, a Junior
Date of Birth: October 18th.
Appearance:
While her hair isn't very long, Ash's hair is the color of ebony. Dark, thick and unruly. She's constantly that girl running her hand through her hair to push it out of her face. And her skin is pale, not sickly pale. Just pale. She doesn't like to get tan, hell-o skin cancer. She doesn't have as many tattoos as in the picture though. But her eyes are always done up dark and thick. She tends to wear quite a bit of black. Black shirts anyway. She'll wear regular denim jeans like anyone else but she loves the color black. She's not goth though. Oh and she is almost always wearing a pair of black chucks. Ash stands at about 5'7" but it's hard to describe her body. She's slender....but not super skinny, she still has that layer of pudge on her tummy but she's not overweight either. She's just average.
Eyes: (view spoiler) The palest shades of green with brown flecks.

History: Ashlynne wasn't really all that different from other kids when she was little. Okay well she was, but so what if she liked to watch Dracula and Chuckie movies when she was a kid? Surely there were plenty of other kids that liked them. Of course...not all little girls announced to their class that they wanted to be Frankenstein when they grew up, guess Kindergarden teachers think that they have to send a note home to parents when that happens. Either way, Ash has always been on the outskirts of popularity.
She's a sketch artist. She started drawing when sixth grade started and she found that she loved to use charcoal. To get her hands black with her work and have something turn out so.....contrasting. Although middle school was also when she was going through a bit of a goth phase and liked to make the popular girls flinch when she came around. Ever since she was little she'd always liked the whole Salem Witch thing.
Enter High school and needless to say that getting invited to some popular skanks party? Not the highlight of her life. However when she heard that Margarete was going to be there, the decedent of a witch? Well that was the only reason she went. And good thing too. The party was a total disaster and humiliated herself, Margarete and one other girl (Marina.)
Afterwards through the girls became thicker than wool socks. Immediately bonding over the experience and realizing that the only way they would ever be able to find some sort of peace, was to get their revenge. So when the whole Marina scandal suddenly showed up thanks to that troll, Felicity,? Well it just fueled the hate fire. Ash is going to get her revenge if she dies doing it. She can't wait until next year when she'll finally be picked to be a 'Big Sister'.
During her Freshman year, her older brother, Elijah (Who was a senior) died of a drug overdose in the school bathroom. While her brother and her had always been fighting rather than close, it was still painful to learn about. Not to mention that she ended up finding out when some snotty cheerleader was gossiping about it. Talk about hurtful. Not to mention it was embarrassing. To have your brother die...in the school bathroom from drug overdose.
Reason for Being in the Brotherhood: To exact revenge upon the populars for hurting her friend and embarrassing her back when she was a little freshie. She's going to make them all pay.
Assigned: Hitter for Darlene Poisson.
Family:
Nicholas Ethan Black: Her dad...and the cousin to Jeff Quinton. Yeah....the black family got disowned a while ago. Two months before her dad got chucked in jail for life after holding five people hostage in a bank down in Carolina.
Trinity May Black: Mother of the household. She's a Realtor and she's a bit of a heavy smoker. Honestly she doesn't care much about her daughter, or really she never cared about her kids.
Personality: Sarcasm is Ash's first and only language. She speaks it like it's completely natural and it's the first thing she ever learned in life. So be warned that when she speaks to you, you probably shouldn't take her words all that seriously. Unless of course you're one of her friends....which is like....Margarete. Other than that? Get ready for a full blasting of sarcasm from the weapon that is her mouth. This little quirk of hers tends to make her seem a bit catty, and fierce. She's the type of girl to smirk at a popular across the room and mouth 'I love you' with a big exaggerated wink. And if she gets called out by the teacher? She'll confess to the whole class what she had been doing.
She's got the whole, 'I'm already going to hell, might as well have fun with it' attitude going on. And to be quite honest, Ash doesn't care. She just doesn't. She stopped caring a long time ago. The whole reputation thing? It's stupid and insignificant. Well okay, it's not totally insignificant. After all if you get a bad rep it can effect the way everyone views you. Even the way that the teachers view you. So it is important. But you'll never hear Ash admit that. She'd rather die.
Ash is an incredibly loyal person. She's the type of person that once you earn her trust it's impossible to lose. She's going to always stick up for you and she'll always make sure that you're doing good and that you feel satisfied with life. She's the type of friend that it doesn't matter the time of day she's going to be there in order to help you. She's a very easy going person once you get to know her, she's always willing to take things a joke. She's not one to get all irritated easily. But don't mistake her to be a pushover. When she takes a side on something she's incredibly stubborn and she'll dig her heels in until she gets what she wants. One thing is sure. Ash is never the first to apologize.
Ash can be super sly. Her sarcasm that she uses 24/7 makes it impossible to tell when she's pulling your leg. Not to mention she sets things up so that while you think she's doing one thing she ends up doing something else. Needless to say she's pretty good at messing with other people's heads. That's the whole reason she got her fox tattoo. For her sly nature.
Strengths:
☯ It's hard to get under this girls skin. She's gained a tough shell over the years and getting past that is a pretty big feat. If you do? Well I commend you.
☯ Oddly enough, she's an excellent cook. Like superb. She just seems to always know just what to add and just how to make something taste good. Not to mention recipes just stick in her head.
☯ Her tricky nature. She always seems to be able to get out of any sort of rough situation. Odd as it may seem she can even smooth talk her way out of detention. She's not a big charmer or a flirter but she's good when it comes to negotiations and the use of fallacies? Hell yeah she's good.
☯ Forgery. Yeah yeah. Not the best skill in the world to have but hey....she's good at it. She can see a signature once and replicate it almost perfectly. She can sometimes sign other people's names better than they can.
Weaknesses:
✂ Brown eyed boys with contagious laughter. She can't help it. Those guys with the brown eyes and the friendly smiles....well she just can't help but feel like a melted puddle.
✂ Sports cars. Oh man......they just are so wonderful and attractive and she can't help but get all giddy when it comes to sports cars. Or really any car with speed or with the lack of a top.
✂ Finances. Her family isn't rich by any means and it's always a sore spot for her when she can't buy something because she doesn't have the money to do so. Especially when Alexis parades around with her $700 jeans on.
✂ People talking about Marina in a trashy sort of way. Or when people talk about her brother. It's painful to hear others insult her friends. That's one of the sure fire ways to get a rise out of her.
Likes:
☯ Mint gum. She loves the taste. The scent, and overall it's just a wonderful thing to have and it's always on her.
☯ Music. She likes to play drums. She can play guitar as well but she likes drums better. Beats and damn.....it's just amazing to feel the bass so loud it's like the music is literally beating through you.
☯ Mash-ups. She loves to listen to them. The beats. Oh wow....it's just....wow.
☯ Headphones, they are so much better than earbuds. They are comfier, more expressive, and not to mention that they have less chance of damaging your earbuds. Besides.....headphones are just awesome.
☯ Popcorn and outside movies. She loves to watch movies outside. Having a campout in her backyard and watching movies on the portable dvd player is one of her favorite things.
☯ Seeing the populars screw up. It's just better that way.
☯ She has one pair of earbuds and they're designed so that they look like those huge dangly feather earrings. When she has them in it's impossible to tell that they aren't real earrings.
Dislikes:
✂ Wanna-bees. Those people that watch the movie series and think they are an expert on the subject. AKA, like those Harry Potter people that like to pretend they know everything.
✂ When she can't figure out the answer to one of her many iphone games. It's so frustrating!
✂ Jell-O. She just doesn't like it. It's slimy and jiggly and it's see through. Not to mention it leaves a huge layer of sugar residue on her teeth.
✂ Birthdays. She really dislikes her birthdays and things. One of the things that she hates most is when people sing that stupid birthday song.
✂ Yellow. The color just doesn't look good on her at all and often times it makes her look sick when she wears it. Talk about gross.
✂ Ducks. She got bit by one when she was little, so that kinda traumatized her and she really dislikes ducks now.
Other: She's distantly related to Alexis. Surprise Surprise.
Mask: (view spoiler)
She wears blue contacts as well
----LET'S PLAY A GAME OF RUSSIAN ROULETTEname: Cale Aidan Wolfe
nicknames: His real name is actually Caleb; call him what you want.
gender: Male
sexuality: Pansexual. He's genderblind.
age: 18 years old
grade: Senior
date of birth: 12 September
----I'LL LOAD THE GUN, YOU PLACE THE BETSappearance:
If you say that you think Cale is ugly you're lying.
(view spoiler)
Okay, not really---it's true that he's not everybody's cup of tea.
First off: he's fairly tall at around six foot two and has the thin, streamlined physique of a runner or a swimmer. He lacks any sort of powerful muscle but he's stronger than he looks; which isn't saying much, considering he's slim and looks like a beanpole with his narrow shoulders and protruding ribs but comparatively, he really is. He's probably a little underweight especially for his height, but it's not like he can help it. Cale eats like a pig and yet he never seems to gain weight---whether that's good or bad he hasn't decided yet.
He has soft hair that's cut in such a way that it's pretty much always laying flat whether or not he's straightened it, sweeping across his forehead and over his ears and the hollows of his cheeks, though when he's just rolled out of bed it can get unruly and flare out in all directions. Its color tends to vary, in the summer it becomes a little lighter, a deep chocolate brown color from sun exposure but for the rest of the year it's mistaken as pitch black with coppery streaking here and there.
His eyes are wide and quiet, the kind of eyes that are so innocent and doe-like that one look pretty much has everyone melting. Like his hair, the color of them seems to change; you could classify it as hazel, technically, since they never stray from greens and browns, but sometimes they'll appear a golden brown and other times they'll look greenish and others they'll look both and under really dim lighting, they'll look endless and black with the pupil practically disappearing into the iris, which is unnerving. Not to mention that he conveys a sense of blankness, like he's seeing right through you, when he's feeling particularly angry.
And you can't just mistake the tattoos. He has a rose on his throat, his arms are covered from his fingers to his shoulders, and he's got one on his chest; likely he'll get more.Cale's sense of style is... unpredictable, really. He hardly dresses up, but he's not quite casual either. He's got a liking towards blazers if he's feeling dressy and loose sweaters when he's not. Skinny jeans and low-rise Vans are basically the only way he goes, too.
Also, he has a killer smile and a thick British (Yorkshire) accent that sometimes makes him hard to understand if you're unaccustomed to the way he pronounces certain things.
----TELL ME WHO WILL MAKE IT OUT ALIVEhistory: Born on a rainy, dreary fall day, Caleb Aidan Wolfe was not wanted; that much was clear. His mother's labor was a difficult one, and an emergency C-section was required. Something had gone wrong, though---when exactly it had happened, no one could pinpoint, but the woman died due to complications; his dad had always blamed him.
You wouldn't have known there was anything wrong with them; from the outside they appeared to be a simple two-person family, a father struggling to pay bills while coping with the grief of losing his wife and taking care of a newborn. From the inside, though, there were problems. Small things; Cale's father would "forget" to feed him and leave him crying in his crib all night or he'd "accidentally" leave him alone to his own devices and doctor's appointments were rare at best, why waste money on something you didn't even care for in the first place?
The boy grew up listening to the only person who was meant to care for him tell him he was worthless. That he meant nothing. That he was a murderer who didn't deserve to live; that everyone would be happier if he'd just disappear. "You don't matter; you never have. You wouldn't, though---because you're scum, Caleb." You'll find that no matter how much you fight it, when all you hear from as far back as you can remember is how bad you are and how little everyone cares, you begin to believe it. Repetition was meant to kill the meaning behind those words, but instead it made them worse. And 'worse' was hidden beneath his sleeves and under that bright smile of his.
He wanted to tell someone, but the problem was, who would listen?
There was nobody who would believe him because verbal abuse was a nonexistent thing, wasn't it?
As long as the man wasn't laying a hand on him it was all right. Isn't that how it went?
So he kept silent. Silence was safe.
Everyone has a breaking point; and it was just before he turned fourteen that Cale found his. He just snapped, was so finished with being treated like dirt. He sneaked out one night and stole some cash, got a ride over to the next town and to say that the "family friends" he'd gone to were surprised to see a drenched, shivering Cale on their doorstep at two in the morning would be a gross understatement.
It was hard, but he managed to choke out his story to them; and by some luck of the draw, they understood. They helped him. Cale was 'officially' taken from his father on accounts of neglect and mental abuse after a arduous trial. This was supposed to be the end. It wasn't.
He was sent to the States to live with his grandparents, his last surviving relatives on both sides of the family. They passed away, however, when he was fifteen, and Cale was thrown into the turbulent foster care system in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people. Most did not want to deal with someone like him---a damaged, troubled teenager. Some just wanted the monetary gain. He lost either way. Eventually he found a nice family, though; they were kind to him, didn't pressure him to act like he was their son or anything. He was fairly happy.
He grew incredibly close to their older son, Dean; at seventeen he was two years older than Cale and basically became his anchor. He was like the older brother that Cale had never had and for the first time he felt needed---like he wasn't just the boy who'd somehow killed his own mother (even though it was past his control, not that he saw it that way) or the boy who meant nothing. They loved him, didn't they? Life was good for a while. For a long while; almost two years in fact. But changes had been cropping up over those two years. Dean had started acting strange, babbling, acting anxious, paranoid of things that weren't even there. No one was sure what was happening. He'd go out and come back smelling of pot. Sometimes he'd be on harder drugs, heroin if he could scrounge up the money for it. Slowly but surely Dean was going downhill and he was diagnosed with a moderate form of schizophrenia. The drugs were only to help him escape for a while---not that he told anyone that.
After two suicide attempts, Dean was put into a mental rehabilitation center though relapse seemed to be imminent; soon he'd be moved to the psychiatric ward. Cale was lost after that, once again he had no one there for him---call him dependent, but Dean had been his everything when he had nothing. He's not sure what to do anymore, but he hides it well.
reason for being in the brotherhood: Because chaos is Cale and Cale is chaos. He lives for it. Maybe he's a child, but some people just deserve to be taken down a few notches and what better way to do it than through what he loves to do; stir up trouble.
assigned: Hitter for Collin Perry Gallows.
family: Allen & Teresa Gore are his adopted parents. Dean Gore is his adopted brother. Josef Wolfe is his biological father. Hallie Wolfe is his biological (deceased) mother.
----CUT ME UP & WEAR MY SKIN, SHOW ME HOW TO LIVE.personality: If mischief was ever personified there is no doubt that it would look like Cale. He is, to put it simply, a troublemaker; he lives for playing the devil and he stirs up shit because he finds it amusing. Sure, you could call him childish or immature if you wanted to but in his eyes, he's spent enough of his life feeling sorry for himself and acting like an 'adult'---Cale could give less of a shit what you think about him, and though he isn't emotionally detached in any way he's definitely the type of outspoken guy who'd smile and send a sarcastic retort your way if you try to insult him. It's almost as if he's got a skin of steel, hardly anything can get to him and he's so good at hiding his emotions that you probably wouldn't be able to tell even if he did care.
Cale is proud, but he is far from arrogant. To some he may seem overconfident to the point of being cocky about himself, but really he isn't. It's hard to be, for obvious reasons. To be quite honest Cale thinks he's a piece of shit but he's so done trying to change himself to please others that he just does what he wants at this point.
The thing he's most afraid of is instability; of change. You'll find that he'll fight change tooth and nail and avoid it as much as possible, only because he's had enough of it. He likes everything to be definite and dislikes being unsure of anything; he's a control freak in that way. It's not that he likes things to go his way, exactly, it's just that he can't stand doubt.
People tend to see him as unapproachable; he's not particularly friendly. He can carry on a conversation but he doesn't make an effort to be nice, and seems to be closed off from everyone who doesn't mean anything to him.
Rebellious is probably an understatement. There are few exceptions he makes to the rule that he bends to no authority but his own; this is the most notable reason as to why teachers hate him. Somehow, though, he's smart enough that his grades are actually fairly high.
It takes a while to get past his sky-high walls; because he only ever trusts a few people, and least of all himself---he thinks that he screws everything up and he hurts everyone around him so he just stays away. Really though he's quite caring, protective if not a little reckless with how defensive he can get. He's spontaneous and fun-loving, which is obvious to everyone. His conscience is lacking at best, but when he loves he loves hard. He gets attached, and because of that he gets hurt.

History:
Crack baby. That's what people used to call Annabel when she was a little girl. Her mother was a screw-up, the queen of mistakes. So it came to no surprise to people when she ended up pregnant with Annabel and didn't know who the father was, or that's what she told everyone at least.Fast forward eight months and a half Annabel was born premature. She was instantly put on life support so sh would be able to breath properly and be able to function when she was older. Although no one did think she would live but months later she was releasing. Yet her mother was drowning in debt from the hospital bills. And once again she made a big mistake. She went back to being a prostitute at night and took baby Annabel with her. But when she was almost arrested for prostitution she was afraid Annabel, the only good think that she has done right, would be taken from her. So she got her pimp to send her clients to her one-room, cramped apartment. Where she was "sure" Annabel would be "Safe" but as the years went by she was more and more tired from taking care of Anna. By the time Anna was five she wasn't able to perform much to satisfy her clients. Then the day came hen her pimp was drunk and angry and he came by the apartment. Storming in, he yelled at her for the lack of money. Grabbing her by the hair he shoved her to the ground and began to beat her. Hearing the commotion Annabel came from the living room, hugging her teddy bear tightly to her chest and slowly walked over to her beaten mother. "Mommy? Are you okay?" She asked her softly. Sitting down next to her, she held her ,mother's hand and with the other she held her bear.
Not sure what to do she did her best to stay with her mother and comfort her. She had no idea that the pimp was still in the apartment. Nor did she notice when he came back into the room and walk right behind her and grabbed her by the hair. It wasn't too long before she was beaten as well. Leaving her on the floor he moved back to hurt her mom once again. Now she was such a quiet girl, never making a sound when he beat her and she never did cry as a baby. However the moment he neared her mother again she let out a bloodcurdling scream. The neighbors heard and called the police, and not wanting to get caught he ran but was caught a few days later. Anyways once the police got their they rushed both of them to the hospital. Annabel was okay but her mother had some broken ribs and some head trauma. Once again she was already drowning in debt so Ana's mom took her when no was watching and went back home. Not being able to deal much with the stress of all her debts she took Annabel to the park where she goes to think. However knowing she needed money,she called some clients and offered her services.
Playing by herself at night, she waited for her mommy to come back from being with her "friends." A man who had been watching her, approached her. Nervous at first, she was playing and having fun with him hours later. And that's when mommy decided to come back and she ran towards her thinking the man was someone bad. She remembers her mommy and the man staring at each other. "Trisha." "Rick." It was then when she found out who her father was. Soon enough though, after that day they were no longer in debt with anyone. They also moved into a new house but as they moved she heard people whispering,"What rich guy do you think she screwed?" Her mother told them to ignore them so she did. Not to long after that Rick started visiting her twice a month and spoiled his little princess. Everything was perfect until her mother got into a car accident when she was thirteen. Rushed to the hospital, Annabel and Rick waited in the waiting room to hear on Trisha. Now while her mother was stable she was also in a coma and no one knew when she would wake up.
Rick was the only person who could take care of her so she had to move in with him. Another new place and house caused her to be at his side a lot. That is until Meredith, his wife, came home from some long vacation. Turns out that her mother was the other women and he had an affair with her which resulted in Annabel. Not wanting to lose his wife, Rick panicked and told her that Anna was his niece from his sister's side and that she had to much on her hands and asked him to take care of her. Hurt, she slinked away quietly and left to the new room which she locked since it was now her's. Hour's later she was tired of listening to her father at the door trying to apologize, check up on him her, and get her to come out she climbed out the window and ran as fast as she could. It started to rain soon and her hair got plastered to her skin as she went inside the nearest store she could find which ended up being a music store. Looking around, she found that they had a lot of music that she liked. And that's when she saw him. Later she would find out his name was Nathan. He was so handsome and she felt like she was disturbing him just by watching. Spending hours their she tried to build up the courage to talk to him. When she finally did he was already leaving, much to her disappointment. Every night after that she would go to the store every night and try to get the courage to talk to him for a month One day she finally did get her chance however it was only to apologize for spilling her drink on him. Blushing and embarrassed she also knew it was a way to talk to him.
Fast forward two years they were best friends. However she had grown to love him, and so she wanted more. Although she had tried to keep her feelings a secret she felt like she was going to burst after a while of hiding it. So she was going to do her best to try to tell him. Trying to get up the courage to tell him every day she was with him, she remembered the days years ago when she first saw him and tried to get the courage just to talk to him. Finally she hatched a plan to tell him on Valentine's day which as coming up real quickly. Casting it out of her mind she grew nervous come the day. When the day did come she received dozens of chocolates and heart, after all she "is" one of the popular's. Being a sweet girl she took all the things given to her but put them and left them in her locker. All day she was nervous and as the day came to an end she practically ran to the parking lot where they met. Usually it was at er locker but due to her being ambushed by boys wanting to give her their gifts he would meet her outside for the holidays. grasping tightly at the heart shaped chocolate she made which was in her hands she went towards their spot. But as she got to him, she ran into someone. Almost as if it was in slow motion she watched as her chocolate smashed into pieces on the ground. Eyes turned sorrowful as she looked helplessly at the broken pieces of chocolate. Her feelings erupted. "I've had feelings for you for so much time and I wanted to confess to you today but.... my chocolate broke,"She whispered softly. "I feel like such an idiot now but I just wanted to tell you I'm in love with you," Cheeks blushing she turned away but he pulled her close and closed the gap between them. Arms wrapping around each other she meted into the kiss. They've been together ever since.
They were good together and they've never had a fight at least, not until junior year. It was about Mather when she had left class to hang out with him behind the gym. She had only lost track of time and he had only meant to reprimand her. However with everything going on; such as her mother finally waking up from her coma. After a few week she was healthy enough to leave the hospital but she wanted Anna to go with her. But when Rick caught wind of this he confessed the truth to Meredith about Anna in desperation that Anna would not leave, after all there relationship had been strange ever since he told his wife she was his niece and it was no secret that she was close to her mother. However Meredith was understand about the entire thing especially since she's grown to love Anna as is she was her own so she wasn't upset much. But she had already known, figuring it out by herself, Rick and Anna were just to much alike to keep it hidden. Anyways the fight escalated quickly because of everything she had going on she blew up on him. And with that she agreed to go with her mother. By the next week she was checking out of school, and when she saw him, she couldn't meet his eyes. That night it was raining, and though she did love the rain and found it calming she couldn't sleep. Putting on a hoodie she went out her window. Not sure where she was going until her legs took her to the music store. Going inside, she saw Nathan at the same place, their place. Once again her legs seem to move on their own, taking her next to him until she was sitting next to him. Laying her head on his shoulders she was quiet for hours as they listened to music together. Neither spoke a word the entire time. "I'm sorry,"She murmured to him quietly. After that she didn't remember much but the next day she was in her bed. Turns out he took her home after she fell asleep on him. Calling her mom, she told her she wasn't going anymore. However when she told her dad she was a bit harsh with him. "I didn't stay because of you,"She murmured. She stayed because of Nathan. She loved her dad but he hurt her and caused a wound that would take a while to heel. After that she met up with Nathan and spent the day with him, forgetting everything but him.
Reason for Joining the Brotherhood:Annabel remembers all the times she was called crack baby and her mother a crack whore or a slut. The name calling hut but once she came into Salem High she was instantly a popular since no one knew of her past. However she hated how the other popular's treated everyone else like trash. Knowing how much it hurt she decided it was time for the popular's to get a taste of their own medicine and know how much their feelings can get hurt. And who better to do it then a popular? Someone who knows their secrets and every move?
Assigned:
Spy for Haydn Ezekiel Beauclerc.
Family:
Trisha- Annabel's mother as well as ex prostitute and an old drug abuser. At thirty two she's a secretary and a beautiful one at that. However she has no interest in getting into a relationship due to past experiences. She's quick witted and a smart woman so it was no surprise that she got a job quickly so she can stay near Anna after she declined to leave with her. She is also not one to lose a battle of words.
Rick- Annabel's father and currently a successful businessman. When he was only dating his wife a while back they were having some problems. So he went to Trisha for help, a close friend of his in high school before she dropped out. Seeking advice from her soon led to them in bed. The next day he told her it was a mistake and left, never knowing she was pregnant since he had cut off all ties from her. That is until he saw a little girl with the same green eyes as his, playing in a park alone, near Trisha's place. However after the niece incident with Anna and their relationship is strained and he's doing all he can to fix it.
Personality:
Anna is an easy going girl that simply just gets along with everyone. Everyone loves her. The way she's so kind and sweet to everyone, it's no wonder they do. It's like she attracts people to her so to speak, even some people that shouldn't be (view spoiler). Maybe it's her laugh and humors sense that people like. The soft and melodious laugh of her is infectious, making everyone who hears it join along. It makes people want to make her laugh and lucky for you she laughs easily and is very ticklish. Almost as much as she is gullible.
Tell her anything she she'll believe it without a doubt until someone proves it otherwise. Tricks always work on her as well, even the old classics. Such as,"You have something on your shirt,"And then you get flicked, or the,"There's something on the ceiling,"And then there never is. Innocent and naive at times but no one thinks of taking advantage of her. And even if you do they never try anything especially with Mathew and Nathan watching over her. As well as the others she helped out, like listening to people and giving them advice. Almost like the classic girl next door, she finds small things cute or adorable. Sees a cute animal or something and it's like she's in love.
That's what everyone else sees at least, an innocent, lovable, and cute girl that can't cause anyone any harm. How would anyone suspect her of being in the brotherhood? But it's because of who she is that she's in the brotherhood in the first place. Her need to protect people even from her own friends. But there is a big part of her that can not agree with what she's doing and her emotions are constantly on war with each other. One of those emotions being anger. On one part of her anger, it's directed at her friends for picking on everyone else. It's like they wanted her, drove her to do this. The other part of her anger is directed to herself. No one but Nathan knows of her past so how can she be angry at her friends? They didn't make her join, she did it all on her own.
The other emotion that she constantly struggles with is guilt. She's betraying her friends, the people who trust her and tell her their secrets. And even if she wanted to, she can't seem to find the will to make herself get out anymore. Because a part of her which she won't admit to doesn't want to get out because she knows they deserve it. However most of her guilt is due to the thrill she gets out of all of this. The danger and knowing she might get caught fuels her. The adrenalin rush feels good to her even though she knows she won't get caught. Whenever she gets assigned a task or a new person she can't help but fee mischievous. Being small and slim it's easy to get around especially when everyone thinks your a popular no one ever asks what your doing. And it's like she's a bit addicted to the adrenalin when it pounds through her.
However aside from this she really does care about her friends, she just thinks they need a reality check. But the one person she can never do anything to is Nathan. Being a popular and being together with him kind of puts him into the "in" crowd. However luckily for her he really isn't one of them. Never would she want him hurt, if they did target him there's no doubt in her mid that she'll leave and do whatever it takes to protect him. She loves him, and it's as simple as that. Never has she felt so strongly for anyone before him.
Strengths:
* Wordplay, just like her mom. She just has a way with words.
*Everyone loves her so no one suspects her of anything bad
*Being small let's her sneak around a lot.
*She can deceive anyone quite easily especially since she's so charming.
*Stubborn, always wanting to prove people wrong.
* Intelligence, she is in AP classes after all.
*Languages, she speaks several of them.
* Surprisngly, forgery.
*And one of her favorites, the ability to eat whatever she wants without gaining weight.
Weaknesses:
*Her emotions, anger and guilt, sometimes seem to grab at her.
*Nathan, she just can't say no to the boy.
*Mentioning words such as crack babies, drugs, sluts, whores, etc.
*Drugs, because of her mothers pimp she steer's clear of them.
*When her emotion's such as guilt seems to be happening people's temper scare her because of the beating she got as a child. Otherwise she's fine with people's anger.
*Biggest fear is losing Nathan and becoming a druggie as an adult. After all her mother was one so she has a bigger chance that others. Or even just giving into the temptation and try drugs.
Likes:
*Rain
*Nathan
*The smell of drugs, especially weed which her mother used to smoke a lot so she's used to the smell but never tried one.
*Animals
*Babies and little kids
*Writing
*The thrill she gets from being in the brotherhood.
*Music
Dislikes:
*Beer
*Drugs
*Spinach
*Alexis to an extent. As a person she likes her but why can't she control the people in her group? Some of them are extremely mean and some of them like her have become spies.
*The thrill she gets from being in the brotherhood.
*Hospitals

Mod
Nickname(s): Ariel, Mel, Isa {More of her friends call her Ariel because she is obsessed with The Little Mermaid, and she reminds them of the red-headed mermaid from the movie.}
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight {but isn’t opposed to messing around with a girl at a wild party. Get a few drinks in her and she won’t be opposed to a lot of things.}
Age: 16
Grade: Sophomore
Date of Birth: March 23rd
Appearance:
Distinctive Markings: Melissa doesn’t have any tattoos on her flawless porcelain skin, because she prefers to keep it flawless. She doesn’t think less of anyone who does have a tattoo; you’ll just never see her getting one herself. Although, Mel does have a belly piercing, but that was her only act of rebellion against her uncle, who doesn’t care anyways—actually, not her only act, but the only one where she ended up getting a small souvenir to remember it by.
Mask:
(view spoiler)
History: On March twenty-third, at three-twenty-three in the morning, a sharp piercing cry penetrated the tense silence that filled room three hundred and twenty-three. A baby girl had been born to a weary woman and a man that appeared to be overjoyed with the new life that had come into his world. And for that single moment, things had been good. For that single moment, when that baby cried to let everyone know she has finally arrived into the world, everything seemed brighter and more beautiful. Just for that single shining moment.
Melissa never had the chance to know her mother, but doesn’t give a damn anyways unlike most kids who would mourn never having known their mother, the woman who had given birth to them. The bitch had left when she had still been a baby, so Mel didn’t exactly care what has happened to her or what she had been like, but she has hoped the woman was rotting somewhere in a ditch. Moreover, it wasn’t as if there hadn’t been a strong female influence in Mel’s life, she had and it had been her Aunt Meredith. Though the old woman had smelled like prune juice and her house had been filled with cats, some of which were hers and many of them probably strays that had come in just to get a free meal. It had all been a little strange to Mel, but the cats had been nice to her, but it had been absolutely insane at the same time.
She had lived for six years with the crazy cat lady, who also had been bipolar as far as Mel could tell. It had been one hell of a strange childhood for the young brunette, but she wouldn’t change it for the world even if she had the chance, since it had been a unique one too. After all, how many people could say that after their mother had left their father, they had been sent to live with Miss Crazy Cat Lady because their father wouldn’t have been able to cope if she had stayed at home. In fact, Aunt Lucy had saved Melissa’s life by raising her for most of her life, up until her aunt could no longer support her and her cat obsession. Being a crazy cat lady, was it ever a question who she was going to choose?
Perhaps it had hurt Mel that her Aunt had chosen the cats over her, but Melissa had really cared all that much because she was back home with her brother. Moreover, her Aunt would come over to care for Melissa when her brother was gone at school and her father was at work—not that she had ever given a fuck about where her father was. As far as Melissa was concerned, Lincoln had been more like a father to her than anyone else in her life.
Oh Lincoln. Now there was her true savior. If it hadn’t been for him, Melissa was sure her childhood would have been much worse. In fact there was a chance she wouldn’t have had a childhood if it hadn’t been for him. There was no doubt that if Linc hadn’t protected her the way he had, and still does, she would have died when she had been a baby. After all, there was a chance her father would have shaken her a little to hard to make her stop crying or possibly just leave her to die in her crib. Thankfully, Lincoln had been around to keep anything like that from happening. Melissa literally owes her life to her brother.
Obviously their father had been nothing more than a demon that resided in the house, turning anything beautiful into something dark and sinister, but Melissa never had the misfortune to suffer at his hands because Lincoln had always been there to shield her from any slaps or punches that were intended for her. Although, Mel was sure that their father had only ever acknowledged Lincoln’s presence in the house because Melissa had reminded him too much of that woman that had left him, so it was better to believe she never even existed. Whenever they were at the breakfast table, the demon would look at her but see right through as if she wasn’t even there. And to him, Melissa hadn’t been there. She had never been born in his mind. And if she had tried to exist in his world, the demon would lash out dangerously and strike anyone who was nearby.
After trying to exist in his world once before, because one of her stupid friends had put it in her mind that reaching out to the devil himself would be the best way to mend the bridge between Mel and her father, but she couldn’t mend something that wasn’t even there. There wasn’t even a bridge between the two, no connection at all, and once Melissa had realized this, she had regretted the notion, and returned to living a life where she hadn’t even been a blimp on the devil’s radar.
Although, you would think that not really having a father there—not mentally at least—would work in the advantage of most kids, that it was her gateway into slacking at school, going to crazy parties, drinking—basically doing whatever the fuck she wanted, but that was far from true. Since her father wouldn’t ride her ass about school, Lincoln had. He would make sure she had done her homework every single night, and made sure she studied for all her tests so she could always do her best. He couldn’t control everything she does, but since she owed everything to him, Melissa does try to do her best in school, but she has the tendency to act out if things become a little too overwhelming for her. Things were often overwhelming for the young girl, but she has tried to rein in her attitude and disregard for rules and her safety, but seeing what she was becoming, there was no doubt that there was no such thing as control when it came to Melissa.
Family:
Lincoln Wayland Arrington: Lincoln wasn’t only Melissa’s older brother, but her best friend, a father figure to her, and her protector. She worshipped the ground he walked on and believed he was better than just about everyone in the world. He kept her safe and helped her when it came to the hard decisions. She could always count on him for always being there for her no matter what. He was the only family she ever needed. The only person she considered was important enough to call family. Everyone else came and went, but Lincoln was in her life from the day she was born and would be there until she died.
They had a very strong connection, and Mel made sure that nothing ever destroyed it. Although they would have their fair share of fights, as it was common among siblings, but nothing tore them apart or ever severed the bond that kept them so close.
Reason for being in The Brotherhood: Melissa thinks it’s fun. She’s in it only because of her brother. She doesn’t care about carrying on the Arrington name, but she does a good job of that without meaning to. If someone crosses her, Mel loves getting back at them however she can. Plus it was very fun being part of a secret little group even if she wasn’t a senior member yet, but there was a chance that would happen once she was a senior, but until she was just fine where she was.
Assigned:
✩ Messenger for Mathew Steele
Personality: Out of her group of friends—what few friends she does have—, Melissa is the first one to volunteer to try something new, whether it was to try some new strange drink or food, or trying some new thing. Melissa is always searching for new ways to have fun that she’s always ready to experiment without really thinking about the consequences. It turns some people away from her, believing she’s some freak, but she’s simply a daredevil who is ready for any kind of fun thrown her way much to her brother’s annoyance. Sure Linc is happy that Mel is making friends and having fun, but sometimes he wished she wasn’t too wild when it came to having fun—mainly concerned about her safety. However, Mel cares very little for her safety, which is a bad thing, but she just…wants to enjoy her life.
Some might frown it upon, but Melissa isn’t one to care about what others think of her, or so she says. She tends to brush it off, or at least act like she’s brushing it off as she gets back up on her feet to appear like she doesn’t give a damn when that was hardly true. Mel does care what people think of her, who doesn’t?
Words still hurt.
Actions hurt even more.
Yet, Melissa keeps her head up and smirks devilishly as she figures out what to do to get back at the person who has wronged her in some way. It doesn’t take a lot to rile Mel up, but Linc has a way to calm her down so she doesn’t go completely psycho on everyone at Salem High, and that’s possibly best for everyone’s sake. If Linc wasn’t around to keep Mel calm and collected, there is no doubt that there would have been a bloodbath at Salem High and Mel would have been locked up in some psych ward for the rest of her life. Not a good thing either. There weren’t very many good things about Melissa because she isn’t a very good person. She is openly crazy so that it worries a lot of people, but no one really does anything about—possibly because no one can do anything about it.
Melissa does have a few good qualities such as being extremely caring, and very protective of the few people she allows herself to be close to. Sometimes, when she’s protective someone, she takes things a step too far and immediately ends up looking like the bad person. She doesn’t mean to go too far, but she doesn’t have the calm composure down like her brother, but she is trying. As much as she is a wild child, Mel does try to make her brother proud of her by trying to be more like him. However, Melissa is a little too emotional to really contain everything in her for too long, but that's where singing, dancing and writing comes in.
Lately, she has been controlling her wild side better since she joined the school's choir and a dance team outside of the school. Dancing helps get rid of all her excess energy, and singing helps her stay composed when she's around people, which helps in making them believe that she's actually normal instead of batshit crazy. Sure, she will always be a little hyper, loud, and just plain mental, but that's just who Melissa is.
She'll always be liar.
She'll always put up a shield to keep people from coming too close to her.
She'll always be crazy.
She'll always be wild.
She'll always plan some kind of prank to knock someone down a few pegs.
She'll always love her friends.
She'll always worship her brother.
She'll always be Melissa Johannes Arrington.
No one can change that. And quite frankly, Melissa isn't looking into being changed. If someone can't handle what she's really like, the darkness in her heart, her poisoned mind, her tainted view on life—feel free to fuck yourself with a cactus.

Mod
❣ Lying. Wearing a mask. Pretending to be someone she isn’t. She’s an Arrington; it’s in her blood.
❣ Singing. Back when her father had been alive, Melissa would do anything to stay a little longer at school, anything so that she wouldn’t have to go home only to feel worthless and invisible. So she joined the school’s choir and found she’s actually really good at it. Her teacher even said she was a natural.
❣ Writing. She has penned a few songs by herself, but keeps them to herself. Not even Lincoln knows about them.
❣ Dancing. It helps get rid of some the energy that overflows her system.
❣ Advice. As mental as she may be, Melissa does give sound advice. If someone just wants to sit and talk, Mel will just sit and listen without saying anything if that’s what they want.
Weaknesses:
♣ Rhett. Melissa is pretty much obsessed with him, and loves him, and thinks he’s perfection—aside from her brother. If he told her to do something, he doesn’t even have to ask, she’ll do it without a moment of hesitation. Except Mel doesn’t leave him alone, constantly chasing after him.
♣ Lincoln. He’s her brother, without him she wouldn’t even be alive. She could never imagine anything happening to him, or imagine herself hurting him.
♣ Chocolate. She goes gaga over that shit.
♣ Coffee. She can drink it all day long, and she has. And she has become a complete jittery mess.
♣ Anyone in need. If someone needs help, Mel has this urge to do go to them and do whatever they need her to do. Even if it is a popular.
Likes:
❣ Rhett. *cough*
❣ Starbucks.
❣ Wreaking havoc. (view spoiler)
❣ Sweets.
❣ Cheesy movies.
❣ Flowers. Spring. Warm weather.
❣ Having the time of her life while she’s still young
❣ Music. Who doesn’t?
❣ Dancing in her underwear. Clothes can be so very constricting.
❣ Life
Dislikes:
♣ Some people.
♣ Abuse. She won’t stand for it. If she sees someone abuse someone, whether it’s physical or verbal, Melissa will walk over and take care of business herself.
♣ Girls. Mel has an easier time making friends with guys. Girls tend to be backstabbing bitches, so she stays away from them whenever possible.
♣ People who push her buttons to rile her up. Um no. Don’t do it, at least if you want to live to see the next day.
♣ Morons.
Other: Melissa has a kitten that an orange ball of fur named Lord Cheetos. One day, on the way home, she had found him in one of those Family Size Cheetos bag without a collar on the side walk by a dumpster. Immediately she took him home, washed him, fed him, and then dubbed him Lord Cheetos. It fit him.

Name: Devin Nicole Evans
Nickname: Casey
Gender: Of The Girly Type
Sexuality: Straight
Age and Grade: 17, Junior.
Date of Birth: December 21st.
Appearance:
Eye Color-Dark Brown
Hair Color-Blue&Purple. See Picture!
Height-5'6''
Body Type-Fragile.
Distinctive Markings: http://data.whicdn.com/images/4535129...
Mask: (view spoiler)
History: You might wonder why Devin is the way she is... and well, I'm not sure you're going to find your answer here. Nothing extremely dramatic or life changing has ever happened to Devin. She's never lost someone she's been close to (although she'd have to get close to someone first), she's never had a terrible heartbreak, she's never been publicly humiliated every day of her life. She's just a small town girl with really big dreams and ideas.
The only bad thing about her life is her family... which is probably the most selfish thing Devin could ever possibly think. Really... it's her worst quality. She loves her family, she really does. It's just... Devin has never really felt like she could be herself around those she loves. Her family, they seem to expect a lot of her. Instead of letting them in her real personality--she's just become exactly what they expect when she's around them. Devin has just felt like she could never let them down.
Therefore, she's pretty much become the golden child they are always proud of. But it's really not her. The Evans family are the rich trophy type family... do you really think Devin would ever fit into that? She doesn't do sports, she's not above average intelligence, she's certainly not socially adequate. Therefore, she's faking it until making it. To her family, Devin is extremely polite, bright, and socially amazing. Too bad she's choking on her words before she spits them out in public with her family... props to her though, right? I mean she hides it well.
Reason for being in The Brotherhood: Her family. It's a tradition. It was just expected for her to join and be an active member, so taddaaa. Here she is. Secretly praying the name Casey is never called into order. Like seriously... in all her three years she's never been asked to do anything. She's just hoping it stays that way.
She wouldn't be able to say no to the Brotherhood... she wouldn't want to risk hurting her family by being kicked out. But then again... she couldn't easily say yes either. It would go against all her morals as a person.
Assigned: Mason Jack Wilson/ "MJ"
Family:
Mother-Annalise
Father-Kenneth
Brother-Quincy (17)
Brother-Adam (19)
Personality: The first thing we should probably address here is Devin's hair. It really isn't that big of a deal... she's not going through some terrible emo phase--it's nothing like that. She's just... nothing else really fits her. Her natural hair color is blonde, that wasn't really her personality by far. Brunette or black felt a little to dark; red was a bad decision from the get go. So she's come to this--it feels natural. Sort of otherworldly. It reminds her everyday she's different.
Devin has always been different--which is very common, I mean no one's really the same, right? But Devin is different in a way that others are usually not. Her kindness is what really sets her apart. She's not nice because she has to remind herself to be... it's just what instinct comes first. Whereas other people might think self preservation, Devin would think of other people first. It's not something she tends to act on a lot--it's just always there.
She's not like an extreme animals rights activist or something, that'd be a little much for her. Devin isn't that uber amazing citizen--the best person ever! She's just nice. She's not overstepping any boundaries, or striving to stop world hunger. She's not a very outgoing person... but she's kind nonetheless. What I'm trying to say here is... she's polite--but she's not in your face annoying about it.
Devin is also fairly sensitive. She's not going to burst into tears or something if you call her ugly, but the things people say can take a toll eventually. She might not always show it when someone hurts her, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt. Devin's a smart girl, she knows why people lash out, so if she knows you well enough she might try to help. She won't take it all that offensively if you push her away, I mean most people do.
With Devin's personality qualities, it does sort of lead to people judging her a lot. She's quiet most of the time and doesn't stand up for herself. She really doesn't know what to say when people insult her, so she sort of just takes it. Despite how some people see her, Devin is still very optimistic. She looks for the best in people, and even if someone hates her--she'll try her best to see the best in them. It's how she keeps from getting angry with people, she'll be determined to see their good qualities to block out the anger.
Dreaming... that's a very big part of Devin's daily life. She's always daydreaming about a realm of magical things. When she's drawing or letting her mind wander, nothing is off limits. It's sort of an hidden obsession of hers, everything is all fantasy--it's all under her control, everything can have a happy ending. It's a nice escape from this school, especially because nearly everyone is rude all the time.
Strengths:
❤ She's a fairly good artist.
❤ She can be compassionate when people give her the opportunity.
❤ No one would suspect Devin of being in the Brotherhood.
Weaknesses:
✗ Devin really can't stand up for herself. She'll just stand there blushing while someone is humiliating her--not knowing what to say. She's intimidated by most of the general population, maybe that's why she's so nice to them.
✗ Could she really hurt someone?
✗ She's easily manipulated, she sort of trusts people to easily.
Likes:
❤ Random peaceful places. When it gets quiet Devin is completely lost in thought.
❤ Art--all forms of it, though she's especially talented when it comes to drawing.
❤ Books, she'll often draw her favorite scenes or characters.
Dislikes:
✗ Public speaking. She just gets that vibe of being judged.
✗ Partner assignments.
✗ The Brotherhood.

History:
Born in England, Melissa was put up for adoption a week after her birth. Was adopted and raised by two members of an underground chaos society, but moved to America at the age of 14. She is a child prodigy in music and writing, but her family has kept it a secret. Her family has been one of many revolutionaries, but only those who work in the shadows, so not to be remembered in history. Her mother now works for the mayor as his unseen helper and mistress while her father works to become a state senator. Melissa herself is often considered untouchable, she has dated many, but none of these relationships have been substantial. Because of her past, Melissa is incapable of trust and is a downtrodden pessimist who cannot see the good in others. She has always believed she is unwanted. Though she tried, as a child, she was never told that she was loved or shown any form of affection; this led to her being so cold and calculating. She worked so hard, becoming a child prodigy with the help of genetics she has yet to discover, but still she was left in the dark. She has become a perfectionist, to the point of being OCD, when she makes plans, they rarely, if ever go wrong. She was sent of to multiple boarding schools during her time in England, most of whose curriculum is a year ahead of American schools, leading to the fact that she is 15 and in her junior year. She taught herself to notice every person's attitude, demeanor, and nervous ticks to know how to approach them in order to play them the best. Due to her past, even in a room packed to the brim with her acquaintances she will be chronically lonely. She will never show this loneliness to anyone, and very few recognize it for what it is, leading to her being widely misunderstood.
Reason for joining the brotherhood: to cause chaos and become as powerful as her parents. To try and inflict the feelings of hatred and loneliness she has on others. She also secretly wants to get more information about the town and how much of her parents' affairs are known to the town.
Family: Mother and Father, two half brothers and a cousin who lives with her family.
Personality: Manipulative, very smart, sly and secretive. She wants a relationship, but cannot trust anyone. Very put together and very beautiful. Has a locket inscribed with the words hope she always wears, though no one knows its meaning. When she is alone, she tends to be quiet, secretly composes music and sing. She often will sit in her closet, and cuts, though she is an expert at hiding it. She often compares herself to tragic stars such as Marilyn Monroe.
Strengths: Music and writing, forgery, acting, secret keeping and playing with people's emotions.
Weaknesses: often arrogant, does not often take orders, cannot trust anyone except herself and tells no one anything significant about her, her biggest fear is to have no one at all care about her, which is why she won't get close to people.
Likes: Music, soft spot for Mozart, singing and playing piano, writing, keeps an explicit diary. Spying. Melissa also likes to spend time alone in order to try and relieve the stress she's constantly under and help stop anxiety attacks, which tend to be rare, though sometimes do happen.
Dislikes: People being overly friendly, those trying to gain her affections, quirks such as foot/pen tapping, constantly playing with hair, stutters. CANNOT STAND SEXIST MEN. She also dislikes fat people and people who cut because she struggles with both of these things. She is envious of people with whole families. She has always wanted real blood siblings, but the two siblings she calls half brothers aren't related to her at all. She also hates people who commit suicide because she has been considering it for six years but could never build up the courage to do it.

History: Caroline grew up in a town just twenty miles outside of Salem. She was raised by her parents, Christine and Roland Crosswell. They lived in a tiny run-down apartment on the rough side of the town on a street that nobody wanted to be walking down on a dark night. Despite their meager circumstances, Caroline adored her parents and thought they were the greatest people in the world. In her mind, they could do absolutely no wrong. She looked up to them and aspired to be just like them one day. It was because of this that she didn't question them when they told her that the family had come into an immense sum of money and that they would be moving to a nicer neighborhood. Caroline was only seven at the time. She suspected absolutely nothing.
Their new house was gorgeous. It had two stories, huge front and back yards, and was immaculately furnished. Compared to the tiny space Caroline had lived in for years, it was a castle; something right out of one of her fairy tales. She was enrolled in a new elementary school and made lots of new friends. Her parents made sure that their daughter got the best education possible; no expense was spared for their little angel. Caroline loved her new life, she never looked back and she never questioned how she had gotten there.
Caroline moved smoothly through elementary school and into middle school. It was soon apparent that she had a great mental capacity. She was in all advanced classes and her grades were always wonderful. Her parents wanted her to do well, but they never put any pressure on her for perfection. She was just naturally gifted when it came to learning new things. It was this natural intellect that helped her to notice how strange her parents acted when she brought up a certain topic. This particular topic was money. Caroline finally realized that her parent’s jobs, although well-paying, didn't bring in nearly enough money to support their lifestyle. When they did their taxes in the spring of her last year of middle school, Caroline managed to sneak a glance at their expenses and returns. It took her less than a minute to see that nothing at all matched up. Later that day, she confronted her parents about the extra money that they seemed to be receiving. They made up multiple excuses, but Caroline knew that they were all lies.
A month passed and Caroline still hadn't forgotten about the mysterious extra money. One night, she got home late after spending the day at her friend’s house. She was walking past her dad’s office, which she was forbidden to go inside, and overheard a phone conversation that he was having. She stood at the partly open door and listened carefully. She could only hear her father’s side of the call, but she heard enough to put two and two together. Her parents were con artists, running an elaborate scam to funnel money from a prominent company in the area. Caroline couldn't help letting a small gasp escape from her lips. Her father heard it and opened the door. It was clear by the expression on his face that he was furious. He asked her how much she had heard and she told him that she knew everything and that if he didn't stop, she would turn him in and move away with her mother. To her dismay, her father informed her that her mother was also a part of the scheme. Caroline insisted that it didn't matter, that she would turn them in anyway. That was when her father lost it. He grabbed her by the shoulders and slammed her hard against the wall. He told her that if she ever tried to tell anyone what they were doing, he would make sure that she never spoke again. Caroline managed to twist out of his grasp and ran to her room. She locked her door and sobbed herself to sleep.
Caroline’s father never laid a finger on her again, but she lived in constant fear of what he could do if he got angry, so she never told the secret. Her trust and faith in her parents was completely gone though. Instead, she invested that trust in her first boyfriend, Logan. They started dating at the beginning of her freshman year. Logan was a junior at the time and he was attractive, charming, and treated her like a princess. Caroline thought she loved him, she thought he was her entire world. That was, until he started to get bored with her. He pressured her to take their relationship further, and Caroline, thinking this was the only way to make him stay, obliged. It was on the night that she lost her virginity that she realized that Logan didn't care about her at all. She was much too weak to break up with him though. She let him do whatever he wanted with her. Logan was the one to finally call it off. He found out she was pregnant and didn't want anything to do wither or the child.
Caroline’s parents were surprisingly supportive when she told them that she was pregnant. She decided to keep the baby although her parents thought it best to abort early. It didn't take very long for people at school to see her baby bump. She was called every name in the book. It got to the point that she would break down in tears, begging her parents not to make her go to school. The baby was born in the middle of her sophomore year. It was a girl and she named her Annaleise. Caroline didn't spend much time with her daughter, she put her up for adoption as soon as possible. After all of that, her parents finally agreed to moving during spring break.
That was how Caroline ended up in Salem. She got a fresh start at the end of her sophomore year. She made up a new name for herself and shook off all of the crap from her past. She rebuilt herself from scratch and became the person that she’d always wanted to be: well-liked, popular, the kind of girl that everyone wanted to be friends with. It was soon after she moved that she met Romeo. Caroline was much more guarded in this relationship, she didn't rush into anything. For a while, she was completely closed off. She cared about him, but never revealed too much. As their relationship progressed, Caroline became more relaxed and comfortable around him, but she still never let him in. In was on one summer night after having a bit too much to drink at a party, that she spilled everything. She told Romeo about her parent’s scam and how they conned companies out of their money and about her previous boyfriend and the baby he had left her with. It was only after she told him the name of her daughter that he stopped her. Caroline found out that Annaleise was adopted by _______’s family, a girl they went to school with. She knew that her carefully constructed web of lie was about to fall apart and she made Romeo swear that he would never tell anyone what she’d told him. A few weeks later, they broke up. When she got back to school that fall, The Brotherhood picked her up.
Reason For Being In The Brotherhood: Caroline agreed to join The Brotherhood mostly out of protection. The spotlight of being in The Brotherhood took the spotlight off of her personal life. She likes the attention, she prefers being the girl that everyone wants to be rather than the girl that she knows she actually is.
Assigned: Mason Jack Wilson/ "MJ"
Family:
Father: James Clayton Crosswell
Mother: Amy Lucia Crosswell
Continued...
Personality: Caroline is quite an interesting girl. She has multiple layers, each with their own specific complexities. Nobody ever gets to see all of them at once.
Level 1: The Girl She Is At School- This is the first layer of Caroline’s personality and the one that the most people see. To her peers at school, she is the epitome of a stuck up attention whore. She will do whatever she can to make sure that everyone’s focus is on her. She has perfected the “devil-may-care” attitude, and as far as anyone around her can tell, she has no problems with being the brat that she is. Caroline isn't one to show weakness or admit that’s she’s wrong. She rarely apologizes and has a habit of shoving people off of the rungs in order to climb further up the social ladder.
The one person at school who she is even relatively friendly to is Romeo, her ex boyfriend and her closest friend. But even he doesn't have the privilege of seeing her true nature. Her mask may crack a little when she’s around him, but it never breaks. Caroline is used to all of the rumors about her and all of the gossip that spreads throughout the school, but she never lets it get to her. The truth is, it really does hurt her, but the benefit of this is that everyone is too busy spreading lies to pry into her past.
Level 2: The Girl She Is At Home- The second she steps into her house, the proud, vain person she shows off at school retreats. Caroline practically collapses in on herself, trying to take up as little space as possible and wanting nothing more than to be left alone. Her desperate attempts to go unnoticed are usually in vain though. Her mother always insists on asking her how her day was and Caroline always replies with as few words as she can manage. She often manages to keep the conversation short, then withdraws to her room. The worst part of the day is always dinner. Her father makes them have dinner as a family almost every night. This wouldn't sound like too harsh of a demand to most people, but the problem s that Caroline doesn't see them as a family. She doesn't trust either of her parents and sitting across the table from two people who she feels absolutely no connection to is incredibly difficult. Although her parents never outright threaten her, Caroline knows that her mother would have no problem kicking her out onto the street. And her father, well she’s absolutely terrified of him. He’s quite fond of drinking and while he has never shown any signs of violence except for that one night, it would only take one small slip of the tongue for him to snap.
While in her parent’s company, Caroline is completely submissive. She doesn't speak unless spoken to and tries not to do anything that may provoke her them.
Level 3: The Girl She is When No One Is Looking- This is the one side of Caroline that she would never reveal to anybody. It’s also the side that cares her most. It’s the part that winces whenever someone says a harsh word about her, the part that wishes she was born into any family but hers, the part that wishes she could tell somebody about all of her secrets. Caroline has thought about taking her life a few times, but never actually came close to doing it. She feels like nobody would notice if she died, and if they did, they wouldn't care. Plus, she didn't want to die without knowing that she had shown someone who she really was. Romeo had come close to being that person, but she didn't have to strength to be so completely vulnerable.
Caroline knows that she’s not widely liked by the people at school outside of The Brotherhood, but she figures that being disliked is better than being overlooked. She longs for the day when she can get away from it all and start fresh for a second time. She thought that coming to Salem and getting way from her pregnancy and Logan would be enough, but it obviously wasn't. Pain just seemed to follow her wherever she went. It was like a darkness that never disappeared, no matter how long she stood in the light.
Strengths:
∞ Hiding her emotions
∞ Pretending like she’s listening. If she listened to everything that everyone said, she’d explode
∞ Her stubbornness. She’s not gullible or easily swayed.
∞ She’s a fantastic liar. If only she could lie to herself.
∞ Acting superior even though she feels completely inferior.
∞ She’s physically a lot stronger than she looks.
Weaknesses:
≈ Her fear of her father
≈ Though she acts cold and isolated, she is very sensitive
≈ She doesn’t take criticism very well
≈ Fear of being ignored or not noticed
≈ She doesn’t trust easily
≈ She’s afraid of letting people get too close. She doesn’t want to be hurt.
Likes:
√ Being the center of attention, it makes her feel like she’s needed.
√ Shallow people, she never has to worry about them actually caring about her
√ The rain, it feels cleansing to her
√ Dogs, she’s always wanted one, but her parents never let her.
√ Hanging out with Romeo, it when she feels the most relaxed
√ Math. You never use trigonometric identities in the real world, but then again, advanced calculus is much simpler than her real life.
Dislikes:
◊ Having to constantly lie to everyone around her
◊ Her parents
◊ Not being able to talk to people about what’s really going on
◊ Seafood. In her opinion, it should stay in the ocean
◊ Physical contact
◊ People who ask too many questions

♠║▌ Name: Aven Acone
✧ As a girl's name is of English origin, and the meaning of Aven is "mountain avens". Name of a plant with white, yellow or reddish flowers. It is pronounced | Ah - ven |.
✧ His surname is pronounced just as the simple phrase...a...cone.
♠║▌ Nicknames: Under The Brotherhood, he goes by Corona. No not after the beer, it’s actually pretty symbolic. A corona is a type of plasma "atmosphere" of the Sun or other celestial body, extending millions of kilometers into space, most easily seen during a total solar eclipse. The word "corona" itself derived from the Latin, meaning crown, which in turn came from the Ancient Greek κορώνη, meaning "garland" or "wreath".
♠║▌ Gender: ♂ Masculine
♠║▌ Sexual Orientation: Originally believed he was a heterosexual. It was only a couple of months until he realized he loved his best friend. His other relationships never worked out, and resulted him ditching girls with disinterest. His best friend is gone now, so this is rather conflicting for him. (Guidance Counselor: How is your first relationship going?
Aven: It’s so bad, I fantasize myself dying of some sort of disease so I can avoid breaking up with her).
♠║▌ Age and Grade: Sixteen [16]; Sophomore
♠║▌ Date of Birth: 5 July 1997
✧ Astrological Symbol: ( ♋ ) Cancer
✧ Was actually due on Independence Day, though arrived a day late.
♠║▌ Place of Birth: Miami, Florida
✧ Moved to Massachusetts when he was about five years of age.
✧ Of Estonian, and Italian descent.
♠║▌ Appearance:
People would say that dear Aven looks like his beloved mother. He has short, and messy chestnut brown hair which is strikingly similar to his mother’s short, curly, chestnut - colored locks. Aven does not care much for hair styling, feeling that this generations kooky hair coloring and styling is just too much for him to handle. He just simply runs a comb through it in the morning, then he is on his way. Aven also shares his mother’s light grey eyes. They are of the color of a cloudless rainy morning and possesses the slightest trace of an icy blue in them. His eyelashes are not as long as Ricardo’s, though long enough to be considered so. What he hates most about his appearance, however is how it appears pale in comparison to the very tan girls and guys in the sunny Miami climate. His skin complexion is naturally a light olive, toned slightly in various parts of his body in a nice glow. But for once, he would like to blend in with everyone else. His skin also seems unwilling to get a tan, and if he ever attempts in getting a tan it would most likely redden and peel as if he had a sunburn. Aven believes he isn’t ugly, but doesn’t seem to realize how beautiful he might appear to others on the outside. He has fairly expressed cheekbones and jawline and a slightly turned up nose. Every time he is nervous, his cheeks always darken but does not bear any physical reaction when it comes to lying. When it comes in terms of stature, Aven stands at about five foot ten, and mostly leads to the lean, and athletic side when it comes to fitness and health. Surprisingly, he has never worn braces in his life, and his teeth are pearly white and straight. When he laughs it’s hearty and meaningful. A distinctive feature a person would notice are the small, scattering moles that lightly sprinkle the skin of his back (view spoiler); they are noticeable but it would seem kind of odd seeing him without his shirt wouldn’t it? Aven is no fashion expert, so he dresses what he believes is not unbecoming. And he is not particular fond of formal wear like dress shirt, and ties because well...he never learned how to tie a tie.
♠║▌ Mask: (view spoiler) - Aven’s mask was his idea. Even though he was never the artsy type of guy, he is actually proud about how it turned out. It’s a white mask, that is actually quite simple. It covers the top horizontal half of his face. The face is similar to that of a wolf, the sides of the mask tied with red satin ribbon to secure its place on his face. It’s designed with various red, black and grey markings. A long red strip down the middle which forms a circle, then continues until it reaches the above the snout of the mask. Long, wavy red lines decorate around the eye area and black and grey swirls make the other features come alive. It’s simply beautiful and the mask actually refers a lot to his alias - Corona.
The mask is actually quite thick, and is rather hard to destroy, though if a person stomps on it, that could do the trick. It is a depiction of the deity Amaterasu. She is the goddess of the sun, but also of the universe. The name Amaterasu derived from Amateru meaning "shining in heaven."
♠║▌ History: Play me a song," the nine year old suggested and he sat close to his play mate. Another boy, only eight years of age that accompanied his partner wore an anxious expression - fiddling with his fingers nervously, and his pale eyes trailing over to the piano that was placed in the corner of his room. The environment, was bare of personal objects. The ones he had were hidden either under his bed or in his closet; the only gift from his parents was a large, auburn teddy bear with a satin bow tie that rested on his messy bed. Despite how normal the room seemed it kept many unknowing secrets that were preserved, and kept from the burning touch of the destruction of the outside world. The young boy looked at the older one and nodded slightly. Slowly he stood from where he sat and slowly made his way to the beautiful ebony colored instrument. Small fingers brushed on top of the keys and he sucked in a breath. As the nine year old waited in anticipation, he watched his friend prepare himself as he began to release a beautiful melody that filled the room. His masterpiece was carefully crafted, and the notes were jotted down on a single piece of crumpled paper. Albeit it’s messy appearance, the song proved otherwise. The last line of the song was crossed out with the same pencil that brought it to life. The ending of the song was yet to come, but it was clear as the sadness woven into the melody....
A boy like no other, was born; and would face challenges that destined him to conquer.
Aven was raised in an awkward household - with a klutzy and naive mother ( who is currently expecting ), an eccentric aunt, and a father who is completely succumbed to the chains of labor. He was the second born out of two, being raised with an older sister named Blake. Aven was born 5 July in the sunny Miami climate, with an adequately wealthy family. His father’s roles in the enormous editing industry has saved the family from collapsing into nothing. It was his mother’s idea for the young Aven to partake in various activities in hopes her quiet son can get a boost in his confidence. Twas a shame when none of them kept his interest for long. The family eventually moved to Massachusetts when Aven was five years of age to aid him in experiencing changes of external environment.
Barbara Acone is depicted as the essence of cheerfulness. She tries to face hardships with a positive attitude while being extremely compassionate to everyone around her. However, while in the midst of this, it kills her inside. Her parents' approach to family life and parenting is informed by their own failings as members of destroyed families, and the result is exactly the kind of family that would produce someone like Barbara. She is polite, selfless and optimistic; she is often concerned about burdening others, for he hates doing so. Perfect woman are not real, and real woman are not perfect; evidently expressed in Barbara’s clumsiness. Barbara was born in a cold household. Living with her sister Thalia, and abusive father. Her mother died when she was only fourteen, in a car accident when the family moved to the United States from their small town in Estonia. After the incident, her father was never the same. She was constantly a witness of her sister’s abuse since Thalia reminded her father of himself rather than her mother ( i.e: appearance and personality ). As a result, Thalia also changed. From then on, Barbara vowed to keep Thalia the most important person in her life. Sometimes feeling distressed whenever she feel "unfaithful" to her Thalia. For example, when she falls in love with Chandler and her son, Aven. Barbara eventually realizes that her vow was an attempt to cling to the past, and probably Thalia would want her to move on. Sadly, it was too late. For she could not get through to her son - who was engrossed with other people and interests at the time.
It was only then Aven discovered his true talents and true friend. Though discovering his talent of the piano came first. It was when he was only in second grade, when he found and old piano in the school attic. The room was bare, so the young boy decided to have a go at the dusty instrument. Ever since that day, the same piano caused him to go up in his personal find everyday, and practice . . . and practice. Soon Aven became a pro at the piano, and the young prodigy found his love for other aspects of music such as the violin. Every time he would play the piano, he did not appear as the awkward boy that was tossed in the sidelines. And to his luck, he also met a third grader, Jude Dalton. A sweet, and over protective young lad who was terribly impulsive. Aven was a victim of bullying in the school’s playground one morning. Jude came to his rescue, and from then on, the two would stay by each other side. Dubbing each other as practically brothers and promising to remember one another whenever they part. The lack of a father figure, and sibling bonds bothered him, though it was bearable because he still had a dear friend to turn to in his doubts.
Over the years the friendship blossomed.
But everything good never lasts forever.
It was over summer vacation, Jude told Aven that he would be visiting his grandfather’s home for the rest of the summer. Jude was distraught, not knowing how he could survive an entire summer without seeing a single smile from his best friend. Sure, there was calling. Though Jude’s grandfather was very old-timey and clinged to the old ways. That meant no television, nor phones - but only a radio and the outside for entertainment. Something happened that changed Jude. He completely ignored Aven after he returned. Aven could not help himself but notice changes in Jude. The way dark circles began to form under his eyes, and how he would always skip school. Did Jude hate him? Was he not good enough? Losing a friend you’ve known forever crushed Aven’s stability. Coping was out of the question. He returned back to his quiet self, writing music pieces in his bedroom and not socializing with anyone. He was a wallflower, has always been a wallflower. No one seemed to care about his wellbeing. So much for feeling infinite.
Continuation *points*
A few months later, he began creating a journal. A small leather book that kept him sane besides his music. He would write letters, or recordings of his life and dreams he would undergo. Aven was hoping to eventually show this book to Jude, so his best friend can learn what happened from their long time apart. For he would do anything to see Jude’s smile, or hear his laugh again. It was a librarian’s idea for him to start a journal that is written in a series of letter entries:
( he even might consider publishing it. He has a stack of new journals, because his first one is nearly finished. )
Dear friend,
Breathing was something I nearly forgot to do. I hoped that I wouldn't witness it, but hope was always a bastard.
He doesn't care, Jude forgot about. Or is trying to.
I remember walking with him, and feeling as if I belonged somewhere for the first time.
Dear friend,
I just want to let you know how special you are. Even if you don't feel like it. There's a strange feeling that tells me you're just like me.
No one has ever told you this.
Freshman years was what Aven dreaded. It was just a series of irrelevant events that just added to his misery. Just as when he though he would never face these problems again, they happened to resurface. For one, bullying. Many of the popular students at Salem High would constantly abuse him verbally, and physically. The freshman would also watch Jude live his life without him. Jude would date other people, laugh at other jokes...
and it was obvious he tried his best to avoid Aven as best as he could. Jealousy began to form within Aven’s conscience. Strange feelings towards Jude that he did not yet understand. Since Jude was living his life, he figured it was his turn to do so to. Aven tried various things privileged seniors would do - going to intense parties, trying out drugs. It was a depressing state, but what was left of him to do? He would attempt MDMA and LSD constantly, which helped relinquish him into a sense of euphoria. This resulted him to pass out one winter night in the snow, nearly dieing of the intense temperature. From then on, he made sure to avoid drugs and cigarettes, always visibly uncomfortable when someone does it in his presence.
It was around the middle of his freshman year when Jude died. After his successful attempt in committing suicide, only a small tape recording was wrapped in a bow and left on Aven’s doorstep. A small note was attached to it, and Aven has not yet glanced at it once since it’s arrival. He taped it in his journal for a special time, when he believes he’s ready enough to face the truth.
Do you know how the main character in movies always have some sort of flashback after an experience?
That has happened countless of times. Aven would remember the good memories he had with Jude, but also had his fair share of nightmares. He realized that he has always loved Jude, causing him to an unknown conclusion about his sexuality. He has come in terms that whenever he moves on, it would be with someone he feels whose happiness is more important than his own. In his sophomore year in Salem High he came to a final decision in joining The Brotherhood.
For Jude.
And for everyone else.

Reason for being with The Brotherhood: Many people join The Brotherhood for all their different purposes. Whether it’s some sort of inner justice, closure or revenge. Aven seems to be all those three. Hence his convoluted social and family living, they all seem to be valid reasons why he would join such an association in the first place.
➳ Stand up and protect people just like him...wallflowers, outcasts, loners....
He wants to make a statement that they are just as important, and all have talents that deserve to be heard. Not to be put down by disgusting popular kids that assume they’re are of greater importance because of their ties with famous people or great wealth.
➳ Get revenge on as many popular students at Salem High as possible. For one reason is his inner drive to remember his long since deceased friend. He won’t stop until he kills them, and by starting out with a few of the popular students, then heading forward to the most popular kids at Salem.
Assigned: Information not yet available.
███ ♛ ███ ❛ ❝ Sometimes the quietest people have the most words to express. They are just afraid of doing so. ❞
♠║▌ Personality: Aven is depicted as the quiet and timid one. The one who barely reveals any of his personal lives. The cranky one, that clings onto things that already left him.
Indeed Aven is a poor, and dark soul that needs to be directed in the right path. Some deem it too late....for he has already joined The Brotherhood. Aven doesn’t care if it’s fair for the Populars, he is doing what he is blinded by being right.
Howbeit, he may seem shy. He takes no shit from anyone anymore. Aven can be a dick in more ways than one when he wants to be. All the timidness would disintegrate, and he would come off as rude and impulsive. Such that, it shows how much of an effect Jude had on Aven and how much of himself is still truly there. In keeping with the crabappleasshole theme of his personality, he is not particularly patient when explaining himself, making even his most sound advice appear to be insults. Somewhat similar to his father, he is ambitious and will grasp at many opportunities he can handle. His real strength is to shepherd his boneheaded Little Brothers and Sisters into following a plan, which just gives him another excuse to go off the handle when something does not go according to it.
As a real person, Aven possesses many talents that many people don’t know about. There is his performing arts abilities, and then there is his ability to draw in people. Of course, not socially but when he writes his letters. There is much more to him than simply talent. For example, he has never experienced an actual romantic relationship, nevertheless confide his feelings towards his first crush. He never even kissed someone. But Aven is capable of cracking a joke or two when he becomes more comfortable, even causing some insane antics that might make someone laugh. Overall, Aven is just a broken and lost soul, that has lots its way.
♠║▌ Strengths:
✔ Languages - Aven was always good with learning languages including the ones he was raised to learn.
✔ Performing Arts - Pertaining to mostly factor instrumentally related. He can also whistle. that might seem irrelevant, but its good for making secret calls and crap.
✔ Lying - it’s practically breathing to him. But he would never use it to inflict grief.
✔ Blending in
✔ Astution
♠║▌ Weaknesses:
✖ Jude, his first weaknesses.
✖ Sharp objects - It was a traumatic experience for him. If you come close to him with any sharp tool, he pales and nearly faints. When he is in its possession, however, he's okay.
✖ Nightmares - Usually has nights when he can't sleep much, sometimes not even at all.
✖ Weak immune system
✖ Cooking, he never learned. Unless you’re willing to teach him.
✖ Obsessing - Let’s say you happen to be close to him. If you’re sick, he would willingly go to take care of you. He would do everything for it to please you and make it perfect. Even remake a whole entire batch of soup if he thinks it’s terrible.
♠║▌ Likes:
✔ Organized messes
✔ The ocean
✔ Writing letters in his journal
✔ Music
✔ Animals - especially cats
✔ Reading any books pertaining to contemporary or fantasy
✔ Being appreciated
✔ Rainy days
♠║▌ Dislikes:
✖ Drugs - Before you make any goody two shoes assumptions, he actually tried them before. It caused him to pass out in the snow one night, and he nearly died in the cold temperatures. He avoids them as much as possible.
✖ Publicity for the wrong reasons
✖ POPULARS
✖ Cruelty
✖ Formal attire... - He does not know how to tie a tie. That's the main reason why he hates it.
✖ Close minded people
✖ Taking medicine
✖ Cold weather
✖ Being sick
✖ Mondays and Thursdays
♠║▌ Other:
✮ Aven hides a journal in the drawer of his nightstand by his bed. He doesn’t consider it a diary - they’re more like letters. He also has a blog, but it does not real as much as his journal. His journal does not contain secrets one can exploit, more like recordings of his nightmares and his day to day life. Inside the CD recording of Jude’s tape is in the back of the book, taped inside the cover.
✮ Aven is mostly afraid of things from the past repeating over in the future and someone snooping in his journal.
✮ He has endless stashes of sheet music he has written himself in a cardboard box in his closet.
✮ Because of Jude’s influence, Aven swears like a sailor.
███ ♛ ███ ❛ Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Nickname: Though her older brother is really the only one to call her this, she prefers Vi to her real name.
Brotherhood Name: Under The Brotherhood, she goes by Amissam, which can directly be translated from Latin to mean 'the lost one.' It's rather symbolic, if you ask her.
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight, though she no doubt appears to be asexual due to her disinterest in people.
Age and Grade: At sixteen, she's one of the older sophomores. And one of the youngest Little Sisters, of course. This is due to her high ranking family, able to work as a silent spy. Able to tear things up from the inside out, close to the Populars because of her brother and his position.
Date of Birth: August 3rd
Appearance: Upon first glance, Violet would be the last person to ever be assumed as the infamous Perry's little sister. While he more so resembles their father, Violet's mother has been mistaken as her older sister on more than one occasion. With dirty blonde hair that clashes with her older brother's dark brown locks, the only trait she possesses that even vaguely resembles his are her natural waves. Of course, she often keeps her hair pulled back into a messy bun. Her eyebrows are naturally arched on her clear face, set above a set of the clearest blue irises possible. Dark lashes rim her wide eyes, often times lined in thick kohl liner. Since her family is so high up in the food chain, she has gotten accustom to doing her makeup nearly pitch-perfect, with the exception of the eyeliner. When she smiles, which is a rare thing, the act exposes small dimples along her defined cheeks, sculpted along with her high cheekbones. Her lips are plump and pouty, shaped in a small cupid's bow. Violet's frame is small, yet not to the point of seeming frail thanks to her curves -which she often times keeps hidden behind baggy sweatshirts if possible. She stands at 5'6", a little bit above average height.
Mask: Instead of wearing an actual mask, Violet does her makeup in the theme of the Day of the Dead, also known as Skull Candy makeup, before every meeting. It's a bit teadious, but it does stand out more so than the regular mask most in The Brotherhood have been known to wear.
Distinctive Markings: Violet has a freckle on the outside of her eyebrow highlight, the only one she has on her face. She also has a tattoo of the infinity sign on her hipbone, the only place she could really think of that her parents would never see it. It was sort of a spur of the moment thing, a way to say 'screw you' to anyone who thinks they own her. The only one she listens to is The Brotherhood- and occasionally Perry.

History: The Gallows have always been the choice family to be victims of the rumor mill. It's a constant, never-ending cycle and gossip and lies when it comes to them- Maybe that's because they're a family that's already pretty dramatic to start out with? It's easy to spread gossip about something that's already pretty out-there. It's almost as bad as it is with the Quintons, whom, everyone knows, rules the social latter with an iron fist. And the fact that they're friends -at least, a family- with the Quintons probably doesn't help much either. Kelsey, Violet's mother and perhaps the one in the family she clashes with the most often, is one of those mothers. You know, the type who are never pleased with anything you do. Who are constantly pushing you to do better, to be better. At one point in time, Vi had even striven for the approval of this woman. But when the straight A report cards, being the best in ballet, and working to clip those few extra pounds of chub simply wasn't enough, Violet eventually gave up. Pleasing someone who, quite clearly, isn't capable of ever being pleased, is a pointless effort. She'd run herself into the ground trying to be everything Mrs. Gallows wanted and it still would never be enough. Despite all of this, Kelsey is that woman you'd see at a social gathering going on and on about how her child won the award for this and that. It's the backhanded way of bragging, as horrible as it is to say it like that.
As for James, her father? With a husband like him, is it any wonder her mother's a bitch? This top notch lawyer is the typical shark in the courtroom who can never seem to keep his eyes on his own well-aging wife. It's been said that he's been spotting with numerous younger women, too many to count, really. While his wife doesn't need to work, it's a rare sight to actually see him home. Thank God. As a way of thanking his family for sticking around even during his absence, it's a welly known and accepted that over-done gifts are typically given to the rest of the Gallows. Gifts in which have nothing to do with their actual tastes. He'd once given her a pair of top-notch ballet slippers.
Two years after she'd quite ballet.
The only one in her family that Violet can actually stand is her older brother, Perry. In fact, he's something like her best friend. The one person she can trust, the first one she'd come to when she's in trouble. Despite what's commonly thought of about him, Vi knows better then anyone that he actually has the biggest heart in their family.
Because he's sure as hell a better person then she could ever be.
As for Violet's past concerning Salem High and her peers? Well. It's widely known that during the beginning of freshmen year, she had been the student following the Populars around like a lost puppy. The girl desperate to be included in the Inner Circle, willing to go through countless amounts of hazing just to get accepted. She followed Alexis and her croons around like the most loyal of bloodhounds, almost that little freshmen that was snickered about when she turned her back to them. Unbeknownst to her at the time -and to this day, she still doesn't know it- Alex was actually the only one who didn't quietly make fun of her. After all, she's Perry's little sister and, contrary to what Violet now thinks, Alex isn't that much of a bitch.
As you can probably guess, Violet eventually found out that she was just one of the many lower classmen seen as nothing more then a joke. It broke her spirit for a little while, humiliation beyond belief. It was a little like auditioning for American Idol and having the judges laugh in your face before sending you packing. And still showing you on the actual television, just so the rest of America could have a nice long laugh as well. Eventually though, she grew out of her slump and by the summer before sophomore year, was ready to head back in.
This time, dead set on taking them down.
Reason for being in The Brotherhood: Seeing as how Violet is the type of person where nearly everything she does has an endgame and/or a reasoning behind it, she has two main reasons for being in The Brotherhood. In her vibrant blue eyes, they're both of equal importance, both ingrained into her to the point where they're practically mixed into her blood. Little does she realize that, in doing one, she'll be screwing the other over:
➳ To protect her older brother, Perry. Everyone knows the whole point of The Brotherhood is to harm the Populars and, in working within the group, she'd be one of the first to find out if they were planning to harm him next. What would she do, if she were to find out that they were planning to hurt him? Well, she has a feeling the words abort, abort would flash across her vision and she'd take whatever actions necessary to prevent him from coming in harms way.
➳ Getting revenge on Alexis. Little miss privileged, the girl that's somehow seen as perfect when it's clear to Violet that she couldn't be farther from it. That is her ultimate endgoal: This bitch has had it coming to her for a long time now and it's about time someone knocks her down a peg. Or ten.
Assigned: Spy. Though she was assigned to Les, -to whom she doesn't have that much of a problem with, despite the fact that he is an arrogant asshole- she's secretly plotting her own revenge against Alex. That whore will get what's coming to her.

Her family is something like middle ranked. High enough to be important and recognized, but not quite the Quintons. Of course, everyone comes second to that damn family.
Kelsey Anne Gallows: Wife of James Gallows, though, according to the rumor mill, that might not be the case for long. Even as her mother though, Kelsey is quite the master of words. She is after all married to highly successful Lawyer.
James Barnabus Gallows: A highly successful lawyer with a fancy for the younger ladies. It's disgusting and skeevy and even Violet herself will admit her father is something like a man whore.
Perry Collin Gallows: Violet's older brother and basically the only one Vi's close with. The only one she can really be herself around. She knows him like the back of her hand, though she quite honestly doesn't understand his choice in friends.
Personality:
CAN YOU HEAR THE SILENCE/ CAN YOU SEE THE DARK?
Violet’s sort of a complex person. She has many different colors, if you will, that make up who she is. Different people see her as different things and, if you were to ask the whole population that makes up Salem High how to describe her in one word, you’d likely get a whole array of different answers. Most would agree –besides maybe her brother- that Violet could never be considered fragile. Nor a necessarily sweet or subdued person. In fact, she’s quite brash and bold, to the point where she’s really unafraid to voice her opinion. If she doesn’t like you? Trust me, you’d be the first to know it.
CAN YOU FIX THE BROKEN/ CAN YOU FEEL MY HEART?
After all, it’s really not like she has much to lose by being brutally honest. One of the perks of being a wallflower, you could say. If you successfully manage to piss her off, she’ll forever be that one person in your life who’s constantly kicking you while you’re down, harsh and unrelenting. Because that’s just the type of person she is: If someone has managed to hurt her or someone she loves, then they can be sure they’ll be eternally sorry. For as long as she’s able to make them regret it, she will. And it doesn’t matter if mercy is one of the greatest strengths- Label her as weak if that’s what the one thing that will make you happy but she can assure you who will get the last laugh.
CAN YOU HEAL THE HOPELESS/ WELL, I’M BEGGING ON MY KNEES.
If you looked hard enough at Violet –and by hard, I’m talking, really really closely- you would probably notice something. Despite the laughter she’s learned how to fake in front of those she calls friends, despite the smile she puts on for her older brother, there’s something about her ice blue eyes. They’re dead inside. As a matter of fact, they’ve been deceased for a long time now. Something deep inside her has long since expired, passed away to a place far too unreachable now. Call it being numb, broken to emotion. You can call it whatever you like: Either way, the facts remain the same.
CAN YOU SAVE MY BASTARD SOUL/ WILL YOU WAIT FOR ME.
The only thing able to make her feel any hint of anything really, is the thought of getting revenge. Of making someone reach the breaking point that she had long since met up with, to look it dead in the eye and introduce yourself. The thought of that –well, that and her big brother Perry- are the two things keeping her sane.
But , of course, you’d never notice this by looking at her. You’d never be able to peg her for one about to lose it, struggling to remain calm under her icy exterior. The Brotherhood and everything they stand for is her one truly saving grace. She depends on it like a scuba diver depends on an oxygen tank once submerged under water.
THE HIGHER I GET/ THE LOWER I SINK.
People don’t realize she’s drowning with the need to snap. To make the Populars pay, to hurt them like they’ve made her hurt for the past year. If she doesn’t, she’ll surely lose it. Completely and utterly this time. It just waiting under the Day of the Dead makeup, circling like a shark to tug her beneath the temptation. It’s the type of thing that’s pointless to deny, stupid to fight. Because her self-will? Yeah, it’s virtually none-existent at this point. Like it was never there at all.
I CAN’T DROWN MY DEMONS/ THEY KNOW HOW TO SWIM.
So fall for that trap her rather innocent looking face has set for you. Fail to see the vixen look upon her expression and get tangled in the web she’s laid out for you. Let yourself get ensnarled up in her net of lies and deceit. Let her company take you away from your problems for a few moments, like the calm of the ocean, before she suddenly surfaces from under, wraps her soft hand around your mouth, and drags you under.
Don’t worry- It will only hurt for a moment.
Strengths:
☦ Secrets. Oh God, if you only had an idea as to how much this girl is aware of. And she's like a padlock, able to keep them all bottled up inside her without batting an eyelash. It's her own version of a talent, sort of like being able to hold ones breath for an extremely long time. But of course, this is something like her job.
☦ Blending in. She's extremely good at it, something like a fly on the wall at how easily she can go by unnoticed. On the opposite end of the spectrum though, she doesn't really know how to not blend in- She can't demand attention when/if need be.
Weaknesses:
☨ Guarded. If you got this somehow misguided picture of her being one to open up to someone, -and stay open- then you are definitely in for a surprise. If Violet does manage to slip up for a moment, you can be sure it will be just that: A moment. A second of weakness, of failure, before she goes back to being her normal, stoic self.
☨ Vengeance. The need for it is so strong, something she emits so much so that it's nearly palpable. When Vi's been burned, she'll do nearly anything to return the favor, to the point where it practically robs her of any and all common sense. Making her nearly the perfect member for something like The Brotherhood. Burn her once and she’ll never forget it, keeping it buried until just the right moment.
Likes:
❦ Horror movies. Don't ask her why, it's just something about them. Something about watching a 'villain' get revenge on all the seemingly innocent victims. Yeah, it's a little twisted- Does the presence of popcorn help ease your mind?
❦ Make up art. Maybe it's the fact that this is how she stays concealed in the world of The Brotherhood, but it has become a favorite hobby of hers. Amongst the few friends she has, she has been known to do the makeup during Halloween and she'll occasionally do it for Salem High's theater productions if they call for such.
Dislikes:
☣ Ballet. Despite the fact that she used to love it, it’s now just a reminder of the girl she used to be. The one who hungered to please everything and everyone in her life. Sorry to say but Violet is no longer that girl, not concerned with what anyone wants. Seriously, she could not care less at this point, as sad as it sounds.
☣ The Populars. I mean, that should sort of be a given, right? If you haven’t caught on that she can’t stand them, hates the very air they breathe and everything they stand for, then you are either ignorant or just plain stupid.
Other:
Name: Christanna LeRoyella Glory, but she's got about a million different nicknames (Leroy, Gloria, Christi, Anna. . . )
Gender:
Feminine, of course!
Sexuality:
She claims to be asexual - - but everyone's heard rumors that say otherwise.
Age and Grade:
She's a Junior, which makes her seventeen
Date of Birth:
Just a normal March 29th
Appearance:
Distinctive Markings:
Christianna always wears her longer hair down, so that it covers a tattoo on her neck, but you wouldn't know it's there, and you wouldn't know why she got it.
History:
Christianna is the kind of girl who has lots of rumors, but you'd have to do some digging to find out the truth.
For one thing, she has way too many siblings--but you never see any of them. Do they really exist or did she make them up? I mean, her parents are divorced, so maybe she does have some sisters, but it's just a bit strange.
Salem has lots of things that are strange, of course, but Christianna's rumored to be an actual witch. Not that bitchy kind of witch who's words can bring you down about a million different way, but someone who's tried voodoo dolls and necromancy.
You have to figure that High School's full of rumors, and why would the Brotherhood let anyone in who wasn't sane. . . But how well do you really know her?
Christianna moved here her Freshman year, just before the summer ended and school started. It wasn't her idea to live with her father, but that's what ended up happening. Of course, the underage (and possibly drunk) driving while at her mothers' might have been a factor; but both her parents claim that it wasn't anything she did to put herself in this situation. . . Sure, that's why all her sisters aren't here suffering with her.
Christianna knows that if she changes her behavior her mother will take pity and let her get out of this crazy town, but that's just never going to happen. She's not going to change, and bribery is the least effective method of changing how things are.
So, she's here to stay, and make some friends. I mean, obviously she's never going to be a Popular who everyone knows, but it takes some effort to get into the brotherhood. Did she know that? I mean, The Brotherhood doesn't just ask anyone to join. . .What makes Christianna so special? What did she do to stand out?
Again, you'd have to do some digging. . .
Reason for being in The Brotherhood:
You could say she has it out for the Populars. . . There's a list of reasons, it's not just one thing. Ask her, and she'll give you a different answer depending on her mood. Of course, you'll have to know she's part of the Brotherhood to ask her why in the firsts place.
Assigned:
This will be given to you by a mod.
Family:
Triplet sisters not in this town, and divorced parents
Personality:
Christianna. . . She's not one of those redheaded girls who get embarrassed when people call her a ginger or anything. She owns up to it, and flaunts her looks. You often see her wearing something that isn't quite dress code, but close enough that giving her detention is a bit pointless. Not that she hasn't had her share of detentions, of course.
Seeing her without make-up is quite rare. . . As in if it ever happens you better stay away. That's one of the first things you should know; Christianna relies on her appearance quite heavily to let people know what kind of mood she's in. The more bracelets clinking together on her wrists, the more she'll smile. If she's wearing lots of layers you should not ask for any favors--it's a sign she's not going to be very helpful.
The expressions on her face are also quite obvious for the most part. If she was one of those people who could wear a mask, she probably would. . . But she gave up on that a long time ago.
Christianna keeps things real for the most part. She doesn't really lie, since she has too many tells and it never works. If you lie to her? Well, it depends on how serious it is, but it'll take a lot of groveling to earn her forgiveness. She's not stuck-up about it though, so don't think she doesn't have reasons for being the way she is.
She doesn't really have a big ego, so if you compliment her. . . Well, you'll likely see her deny whatever you said or turn bright red and overreact. She's not very sentimental, but she does keep track of things like the dates of anniversary's and whatever.
Christianna spends a lot of time doing her own thing, listening to music or drinking coffee. She's not totally addicted. . . Although that might be because she can't afford any more Starbucks until she pays off some other stuff.
Strengths:
- Her emotions. She admits them easily enough, instead of being in denial such as most people
- Bribery. She's good at staying her ground on almost anything, so don't bother trying to find something to hold over her head.
- Positive attitude. Even if she doesn't always look it, she's optimistic.
- Sports. Well, the indoor ones at least. Swimming and track are her favorite, the rest are okay.
Weaknesses:
- Silence. It would make her go crazy.
- Fights. She might actually pass out if she's near one. . . Bad experiences
- Driving. She doesn't have a car so. . .
- The heat. She doesn't do that well being hot. Ew.
- Bad music. That's why people invented iPods; so you can change the song to something amazing.
- Her vanity. She admits it's a bit much, but there's just no changing some things.
- Bugs. She's not the tomboy who's going to step on them. Just no.
Likes:
- Cold weather. It's the best!
- Dresses and skirts. . . The short kind, that you get dress coded for.
- Hot tea and coffee. Anything warm.
- Music--As long as it's catchy.
- Bracelets. It's a girl thing.
- Coffee. Just keep it black.
- Italian food. Or really anything not from the freezer.
- Disney. Movies preferred, but the theme park is cool too.
- Winter. In case you didn't pay attention she likes the cold.
- Hot chocolate. Just because she likes the cold doesn't mean she's willing to freeze
- Dogs. They are very loyal.
- Ellen. She's a crack-up.
- Makeup. Doing someone's facial makeup for theater is like a real-life canvas, so much more rewarding than simple paper and paint.
- Running. It's a form of release for Christianna that she's used since before she could really remember.
- The ocean. She can often be spotted with sand on her feet and speckling her skin from her jogs along the water.
Dislikes:
- Hot weather. Ew.
- Summer. Where's the snow?
- Silence. It's a habit she can't stand.
- Violence. It's a big deal to her.
- Spiders. Of course.
- Fighting. Verbal or physical.
- Ramen Noodles. There's only so much you can eat.
- Large crowds. She gets a bit overwhelmed.
- Arguments. Especially intense ones.
- Judgmental people. Unless she agrees with them...
- Cheaters. Sure, she's all for competition but if you start cheating just to win? Then you've got issues.
- Soda. He just doesn't like it. Don't know why. Get over it. It's not the end of the world.
- Puddles on the ground. They just make everything dirtier. When you step in them, when someone splashes them, when a car goes through them. Just no.
- Theme songs to most tv shows. Most of them are rather annoying and get stuck in her head, causing a bad mood.
- The spotlight. There's nothing that makes her more nervous- Unless she has a whole speech thought out and rehearsed, she's been known to flush and stutter under the pressure.
- Silence. Instead of simply working in the quiet, she always has her headphones in to get lost in the music.
- Confrontation. It feels exactly like being put under the spotlight -only with a harsher glare. She

Mod
Name: Cassidy Grace EdwardsNicknames: Cas or Cassie are her most common ones, though there has been the occasional Edwards or Grace.
Gender: Feminine, if you couldn’t guess that by the picture, and name and….
Sexuality: Straight:
Although Cassidy only harbors feeling for those of the opposite sex, she has no problem with the idea of people of the same gender being partners and mates. In fact, she is a true believer of the saying of how love is love, and truly is an advocate of gay and lesbian rights. Her standing up for bisexuals and such has led to several nasty rumors about her being a lesbian as well, but she chooses simply to ignore the gossip-hungry jerks who spread these untruths, staying firm in her beliefs.
Age and Grade: 16; Sophomore
Cassidy has been emitted into the brotherhood at such a young age due to her connection to the school through the school newspaper. Due to her respectable journalism talent, she has become the New Editor of Salem High Press, giving her the ability to access files held under lock and key, decide what stories will be put into the paper, and keep tabs on everyone attending Salem High.
Date of Birth: April 23;
Cas was born on a soaking wet, humid day where everything was drenched and the entire ground was one giant puddle. The lake down town overflowed and flooded several of the homes residing near it, evergreen tree’s fell over as if they were merely toothpicks in the ground, and the entire city had been made powerless. It was if the world was foreshadowing the chaotic little child that Cassidy Grace Edwards would be.
Appearance
Cassidy is a girl who stands at an average height of 5’7, with a normal stature and an average build. She is a slender one with tightly packed muscles that reside underneath her creamy ivory skin, making her arms and legs rather thin and her stomach flat as solid. Although she is most definitely not a body builder, she does have meat on her bones. The girl is lucky to have such a fast metabolism, for she eats like a beast, seven meals a day and snack in between. She doesn’t think twice about eating whatever she wants, not really caring what others think about her. Cassidy has long lengthy legs that seem to stretch on forever, making pants shopping practically impossible and resulting in her having a pretty short torso.
Cas’s skin is a milky cream colored, though in the summer months it tans to a more golden honey hue. It is blemish free asides from the few freckles that are splattered across her nose. She has an oval shaped face, with a bird like bone structure. The angles of her face are smooth, giving her a more feminine look. On top of her head sits a wild mane of stunning blonde curls, the color rather pale and almost looking as if it had been bleached by the sun. The wild curls never seems to fall into place correctly and fly out from around the crown of Cassi’s head, like a messy halo of sorts. No matter what poor Cassidy tries to do to tame them they just won’t have it, so she has given up attempting to control them and just lets it fly free, however it wants. She is often times claiming that her hair has a mind of its own.
In the middle of cassi’s face rest two bright gem-like eyes, easily compared to the sparkling Peridot. The hue is a lovely pale green that is more faded near the pupil and progressively
turns darker as it reaches outward. They often times change shade depending on the light, becoming more of an emerald color when Cassidy is immersed in darkness. The lashes that frame her eyes are long and thick, a pale tint not unlike the shade of her hair. Cassidys nose is quite small and button like, a common-looking one that is just the right size for her face. Her lips are full and a deep rosy color, never needing any lipstick to coat them for their stunning crimson shade is natural.
Distinctive Markings:
The night of her brother death, Cassidy had drunken a few too many bottles and happened to stumble into a tattoo parlor that didn’t really put an age restriction on who they administered ink to, glad to get any bills they could receive. Cass has a simple ebony cross on her shoulder blade in memory of her little brother and as a symbol of the promise she made to avenge his death.
History: Poor little Cassidy Edwards was born in the depressing little town of Salem, born right into the prison of a town where she would spend the rest of her miserable life in, trapped and caged like a wild animal. She was the offspring of Victoria and Drew Edwards, a rather economically unstable couple who were inexperienced, intimidated, and not really intelligent. They were far too sweet and scared, not knowing how to discipline their chaotic little girl. Mrs. Edwards, one Miss Victoria Ferns, had fled from her wealthy family in New York when they forbid her relationship with Drew, running away like a frightening little thing with only the clothes on her back and a small suitcase. The poor woman barely knew how to work a stove, let alone run an entire household. Mr. Edwards had lived in poverty his whole life, and had learned that the only way he was to get anything in life was with hard work. Not having a college education left his job options slim and he was forced to take several working positions at once, resulting in him never being home.
Cas’s childhood was rocky and unstable, for her mother was too busy willowing in her own sorrow to take care of her baby. She was often times forgotten, her stomach always rumbling and her hygiene lacking. Three years after her birth her mother welcomed another child into the world, a small little boy with the palest blonde hair and the brightest blue eyes. Yet still Mrs. Edwards was filled with sadness, often times sobbing all day until she ran out of tears to let out. When the poor girl was only eight her mother fled, running back to her parents’ home to beg for forgiveness and hoping to be welcomed back into their home.
At the young age of eight Cassidy was forced to take care of not only herself, but her five year old brother as well, thrown into the position of caretaker of her sibling. Life was harsh and depressing at that time, though somehow she managed to survive and eventually grew into her role as the motherly figure. Her brother, Caleb, and her were extremely close, attached at the hip and most of the time inseparable. Mr. Edwards continued to work day and night, barely interacting with his children. He had gone from a hardworking loyal man to a dejected drunkard, spending his money on bottles of booze instead of groceries for his family. Cas was forced to begin working at 14 to take care of her and her brother’s needs, the low wage barely buying them food for the week.
In freshmen year Cassidy was recognized for her astounding writing talent, being given a job at the school newspaper that her proud English teacher ran. She was given a lower position at the time but quickly moved herself up and became one of the most valued people in the organization. She was the youngest girl to have been given the job of news editor, a title she was honored to hold. She was even paid a small wage by her professor, who knew about her financial troubles and did his best to help his student. Life was good for some time, though with all her time being spent of the newspaper, she began to drift apart from her brother.
The summer of sophomore year, right after Cassidy’s sixteenth birthday, Caleb Edwards committed suicide. At the young age of thirteen her brother had taken his own life after a year of cruel bullying by a few older kids as well as ones in the same grade as him. Cas’s heart was broken and her entire world shattered, the one person she ever cared truly for now gone. She grew enraged and vowed to herself and her brother that she would take care of whoever lead her brother to make this horrific decision. She would avenge her brother’s death and make each and every one of them pay for the innocent life they stole.
Reason for being in The Brotherhood: To avenge her deceased little brothers death. She vows to make every one of her brother tormenters pay for the innocent life they robbed, planning to do whatever it takes to go through with her promise.
Assigned: This will be given to you by a mod.
Family:
Victoria Ferns: Mother; Victoria fern is a young, idiotic women who was born to a wealthy family and lived a lush and lavish life. She happened to fall madly in love with the cunning charmer Drew Edwards, and ran away with him when her parents forbid their relationship due to his financial state. She gave birth to two children, Cassidy and Caleb Edwards. She was a horrible mother and caretaker, too selfish and sorrowful to even think of the needs of her children. When Cas was eight she fled and left them, running back into the arms of her wealthy parents.
Drew Edwards: Father; Drew Edwards was quite the charmer when he was young, a ladies man with a silver tongue. He grew up in poverty and never knew what it was like to own a single toy. He fell in love with Miss Ferns and was somehow able to convince her to run away with him. Mr. Edwards worked long a tiring hours and had to have several jobs at a time due to his lack of a college education. When his lovely wife Victoria fled, he was distressed. He turned to alcohol to relieve his pain and was soon a jobless drunkard.
Caleb Edwards: Brother; Caleb Edwards was a sweet boy who loved with all his heart and had a kind gentle spirit. He was never known for causing trouble like his sister, who he was very close to. Caleb had a calm demeanor and a very soothing effect on the people around him. After being bullied for a year when he was thirteen years old, he took his life.
Personality:
Cassidy has been a chaotic little troublemaker from the day she was born, a sly little trickster with a fake air of innocence. She’s like a wild tornado of trouble, destruction following behind her wherever she treads. She seems to have the ability to attract mass chaos, as well as the power to somehow get herself into the most insane situations. She’s got a silver tongue like her father, often times using her slick words to get herself out of trouble. Her acting abilities are quite grand, for she is easily able to play any role thrown at her, which results in her being quite the liar and deceptionist. Although she would like to claim she doesn’t enjoy the madness, she simply can’t, for that would be a complete lie.
Cas is a girl who will take no bullshit from anyone, not afraid to stand up for herself and the ones she holds close. She won’t listen to your crap, and will speak her mind when she feels like it, the thought of consequences never even entering her mind. She has little of a filter between what she says and what she thinks, so get ready for the gods honest truth. She doesn’t believe in sugar-coating and will promptly tell you like it is, even if it may cause someone pain. Although cas is quite the talker she is rather good at keeping secrets, for she’s been keeping some for a pretty long time.
Although Cas may seem like your average bad-ass rebel, she is quite the clever thing and has a sharp and cunning mind. She is clever and intelligent, not a quality that she inherited from either of her idiotic parents. She has a way with words and is an amazing writer, a talent that she has been cultivating since she was in grade school. Her gift is one of the main attributes she values about herself and is something she takes rather seriously.
**continued down below**
Continuing Though her main talent lies within the boundaries of English, she has little trouble with any of the other subjects of school. Being a virtuous student seems to come easy to her and is something she doesn’t even have to think about.
Cassidy has lost just about all her childlike innocence after her brothers passing, leaving her to be just an irate girl set upon her brother revenge. Although she has always been one with a short tempter and a minute fuse, she finds that her rage has intensified dramatically. She is determined on her revenge, and when Cassi sets her mind to something nothing will get in her way.

† Cass is really good at taking care of herself and other, being a very independent girl who doesn’t need to rely on anyone.
† She is actually really good at playing piano although she has never had the money to take lessons. It seems as if she can hear her old melody and can easily replay it on the white keys of a piano. Though after about two years of taking music classes she quite for she prefers to play her own music instead of someone else’s.
Weaknesses:
Cassidy has quite a temper, and at times she lets this affect her decision making. This can lead to getting herself stuck in horrible situations and creates some enormous problems.
Cas sometimes doesn’t know when to shut her mouth, with gets her into trouble all the times. She says what she thinks, for there is little of a filter in her brain between that.
She doesn’t allow people to get close to her, for she has major trust issues. She believes it is just her in this world and everyone else is just an outsider.
Cassi is fearless and sometimes just takes foolish risks for kicks, which lead to someone being hurt most of the time.
Likes:

Populars. She hates how fake they are and how cruel they treat everyone under them.
The Queen Bee Bitch. Honestly she just can’t stand her.
Her brothers tormentors. Her hates goes WAY beyond dislike.
Her mother. She left them when they needed her most, for her own selfish reasons.
Mexican food. Its just a no no in her book.
Getting her picture taken. Most of the times she skips out on school picture day.

For her personality and history, you are going to need to write at least a solid paragraph (5-10 sentences minimum). Tell us a little more about her past, why does she want to get revenge? Revenge on who? The popular kids, one in particular, or the brotherhood themselves? Because right now, I can't tell at all. Also, for personality, you need to give us a little more what she's like. Right now, I don't really have a good feel for your character. Just a little more detail and she'll be perfect.
>>UNDER CONSTRUCTION<<PART I
Name:
Guy Grimm
Gender:
Masculine
Sexuality:
Previously closeted bisexual, but due to an incident with the populars, it is no longer closeted.
Age and Grade:
Age 17 in the Junior Grade.
Date of Birth:
1/13/1996
Appearance:
Guy has sandy blonde hair that is frequently high-or-low lighted to bring out the brightness or darkness in his hair. People say he has hair like his mother... not exactly the best compliment since his mother is wearing a wig and doing chemo for cancer. His hair is usually quite shaggy and hangs in his eyes.
His eyes are a deep penetrating blue, a mixture of cobalt and ocean water. His eyes are almost always shiny and full of tears, although he isn't crying. He knows his eyes are like those of his father, but he doesn't like that since his father isn't exactly the mostly gentlemanly person in the world to his mother or him for that matter. Some people wonder if he wears contacts because his eyes are so shiny, but he doesn't. He has perfect 20/20 vision and has never needed so much as reading glasses.
His facial structure is rounded with no clear definition in his jaw line, giving it a more boyish or feminine look. He is rather bony in general really. His elbows and knees sticking out at odd angles like shards of glass in a pile. His shoulder blades puncturing through the fleshy bag they call skin. He has muscle definition in his legs and arms at least, but nothing will cover his spike elbows and knees.
His body type is like that of a runner at the most. Since he runs cross country and track & field, this is to be expected, but it still isn't much. He has the outline of abs and muscle, but it isn't really filled in since it is all lean muscle, built one on top of the other. The other juniors and seniors shove him around in the locker room since he isn't strong enough to fight more than one off at once.
The way he dresses is mildly fashionable, but nothing like what the populars wear. He looks good, but not great. Their favorite way of "mocking" him is stupid when it comes to clothes.
"Did you get your clothes out of a dumpster...
from LAST SEASON!?!? *laughter*"
Distinctive Markings:
-He has his ears pierced with "diamond" studs.
-He has belt marks along his back and chest from his dad's "lessons in respect", which involved a lot of beatings for incorrect answers or refusals.
- Random scars all along his body that hide with the belt ones, but these he can pick out every time. They're from his shower beating from Freshman Year.
History:
Guy was born in Hanau, Germany, the birthplace and the formative years of his last namesake "The Brothers Grimm." Despite the fact that he was born in Germany, he is not of pure German descent. His father, Heinz Grimm, was German and worked as an administrative assistant to a diplomat for Main-Kinzig-Kreis. His German grandparents both died during the British airstrikes of World War II. His mother, Alev Acar, is Turkish-born and raised. Her father died of tuberculosis, but her mother is still alive and is currently in Bursa, Turkey. After Alev and Heinz met, they instantly fell in love and were married within the year. Alev became pregnant the next year and they moved to America, "The Land of Opportunity" as Alev had heard it said.
Guy was born in 1996 to two loving parents and one doting grandmother who lived in the house. She couldn't speak English very well, but she was learning. Alev and Heinz had broken English, but spoke it around Guy as much as possible so he would grow up on the English language. When Guy turned five, they enrolled him in Kindergarten where he did average in most things. The most important thing that happened to him was that he learned English from the other children and the teacher. He also achieved his first friendship. No, he didn't get one; he achieved it. He excelled so much at being kind that he achieved friendship with one of the popular kids. It's Kindergarten so it's not much of a success, if any, but it was nice.
Then they moved.
They couldn't afford the house anymore and he left at the age of eight (3rd Grade). Arriving at this point in life at a new school is not... good. People have had four-five years to develop friendships already and new kids were ostracized because they didn't have a niche yet - being new and all. He had no friends and went home straight after school every day for the next few years. He was never invited to parties, never involved in the playground games, and never asked to come over. This "shun" had a profound impact on his life though. He became introverted. He began to create imaginary worlds where he could thrive and rule over. He had friends and allies and enemies and princesses. He flew into the world of the written word, into the world of books and poetry and writing. In fifth grade, he started writing - poetry, short stories, lyrics, anything that took his fancy. This would be fine usually, but this is fifth grade.
Kids are cruel.
They don't understand.
They never did and never will...
Instead of ignoring him, it got worse as he started trying to show them his inner-self. He stopped after it started, but the damage was done. They knew. He knew they knew. Nobody liked it.
They grabbed his stories, his dreams, his worlds... and tore them apart in front of him during recess, shouting things like:
"Only girls read!"
"Ooh, look at me, I'm a poet. Roses are red, Violets are blue, Why don't you leave, no one likes you!"
"I bet he's gay!"
Yes, that was when the rumor started. The rumor that he would watch the other boys when they showered for gym, that he would wear dresses when he got home, that he wanted to kiss the popular boy in the class. (Remember, these are fifth graders; not the brightest bunch).
It was around this time his father died and his mother remarried a new man named Merle. The great American thing known as alcohol was his favorite thing. He drank excessively. When he did, he would take out his belt and teach him "lessons" about his heritage. If he got a question wrong, he got a whip. He tried to never get one wrong. Twins were born when Guy was ten - Jessie and Jackie.
They moved again when he was eleven (6th grade).
This new school wasn't any better than the last one. Being new once more and at the time of puberty, he was heckled and abused by the other kids. He wanted to leave, but this time it never happened. This is the current school he is at. The rumors of his being gay started in 7th grade when he got his ears pierced. The popular kids had their ears pierced - boys and girls both - but for some reason, when he did it, they assumed that meant he was gay. Around 8th grade though, it went back to being a low thrum of noise. It just stopped all of a sudden... like he had reached the eye of the storm randomly. People started talking to him too. There were two people he thought were his true friends who he could tell anything too. They were popular, he was in the middle. With their help, he might fall over the fence and land popular!
At a party Freshman year, they invited him to a party where they pressured him to drink. He refused, saying it was against his personal rules. They finally chipped away at his wall and got him to have "just one"...
but that was all it took. They had spiked it with something. Rohipnol (roofies), LSD, Ecstasy, drugs, something he couldn't tell. What it did was get rid of his inhibitions.
He made out with a girl...
and a guy.
The populars got it on video (both of them) and put it on Youtube. It ruined his reputation or whatever little bit he had left.
He went to the misfit table. They were some of the nicest people he ever met; it was lovely. He had friends. He was just bullied everyday by the populars who now knew he was bisexual.
His sisters were taken away Sophomore year as well because his mother was diagnosed with cancer and his father was found out by child services to be a drunk and abuser. He went to prison after something unrelated happened at school...
Something happened Sophomore year.
Then he joined the Brotherhood because of it.
PART II
Reason for being in The Brotherhood:
One instance happened to him Sophomore year caused him to join the Brotherhood.
It was Wednesday, eighth hour gym class. Gym had just ended and they were showering. He walked out and a fist slammed into his stomach, doubling him over where an elbow slammed into his back, knocking him to the ground.
We don't take kindly to your KIND *kick to the back* around here... a voice had growled down at him. He looked up to see the popular guys standing around him.
Look, he's looking at our junk AGAIN! *kick to the stomach*
They were fully clothed; he wasn't. They took his pants and shirt and ran off, leaving his bruised body behind.
Take a hint, faggot!
He went home with two bruised ribs and a black eye.
"Oh honey, what happen?" his mother asked.
"I-" should he have told her, "I- fell down the stairs at school."
"Clumsy dummkopf..." his father had murmured. "Probably looking at some guy..." he continued murmuring.
His father never did understand.
The next morning he found a note in his locker from a Brotherhood member...
"Are you sick and tired of them?
Meet me in computer room if you are.
Ever since then, he has been part of the Brotherhood.

HITTER for Collin Perry Gallows
Family:
Guy has both a stepfather and a mother.
His stepfather, Merle, is abusive of both of them, but mostly him since his mother was diagnosed with cancer. He drinks most nights at the nearby bar, going there at nine P.M. and coming home at three in the morning, making a loud racket as he does so. His father's main version of abuse is physical - usually with a belt of some kind. It is usually the leather side, but if he's been drinking a lot, he switches to metal.
His mother, Alev, was diagnosed with cancer last year, breast cancer to be specific. She is now bald and wears a blonde wig due to the chemotherapy she endures every so often. She tried to just wear bandanas and scarves, but people kept staring at her. Her first husband is Guy's true father, but he died in a terrible car accident when a semi-truck ran a stop light. She married her current husband, Merle, who was nice at first. After marrying him though, he started becoming more forceful and telling her she kept doing things wrong. Then it turned to beatings with incorrect things. Guy always thinks, "I bet you never thought you'd cry so much since Dad died" but he never says it aloud for fear of breaking her more.
There were two other child in the family born of Merle.
Jessie and Jackie. Twins. They were put into foster care after Merle went to prison and Mom was diagnosed with cancer. They thought she couldn't handle three kids without breaking. After she's cured - because she WILL be cured, she has to be - Jackie and Jessie will come home and they'll be together again. Well, Jessie will come home at least. Jackie has been very sick recently. She's been lying in bed with an awful fever (104) and she's been throwing up a lot. She can't eat, she hardly ever sleeps, she can barely sip a glass of water. She's been to the doctors but they can't figure it out. Jessie stands by her bed for hours at a time, sometimes a day if Jackie's really bad. Her heart stopped once. She got over it. She's better now. She's going to be fine. She's going to be fine. If he repeats this in his head enough, it has to be true. She's going to be fine; she's going to be fine.
Personality:
Depends on whether or not the person is a popular.
Intelligence
Not only does he act more intelligent around non-popular people, he becomes downright devious. He enjoys planning tiny pranks and mishaps on the populars that spike right into their emotions. No little pranks here; he goes straight for weaknesses. A bit of gum in the narcissist's hair, a broken finger or toe from a falling object for the jock, and a cleverly placed bag of weed while the cops perform a lockdown. Okay, the last one he hasn't done yet, but that's because he doesn't want a money trail going back to him from buying weed. Needless to say, around the populars, he acts "dumber" than he is. He still gets good grades and answers questions better, but just by looking at him, the Populars feel like nothing is going on up there that could pique their curiosity. His intelligence comes mostly from reading. Any book will do. A fantasy first book in series about an elf, a dwarf, and a human trying to destroy a ring; a girl and a boy fighting for their lives in a forest-y arena; a non-fiction book about improving one's self-worth; a book of booby traps and medieval torture devices...
The only thing to be wary of if you are popular is if something seems too easy. Guy has a way of turning things into a Rube Goldberg Machine or sorts...
Knock over the can of paint and it'll hit a peg that releases a rope that is holding a jar of glue upright that then tips over, spilling it over you and pulls a second rope with it that turns on a fan that blows feathers all over you. Yes, those are the kinds of traps he would love to set. Yes, that was read correctly. The kinds of he traps he WOULD love to set. He hasn't set one up in years for people. FOR PEOPLE... he's set these things up in theory in his house. One got mildly violent and involved an ax being held up over a doorway. It was a model version though and the ax was plastic and the size of a thumb. Still kind of scary that he thought of it though...
Confidence
A clever ruse he thought up after joining the Brotherhood. When something goes wrong, people suspect the confident leader-type people for doing it. "The King of the Nerds must've done it!"
That's why whenever he is around the populars, he is shy and quiet and doesn't laugh or even move really. If he's in a hallway, he moves quickly with his head down or he walks behind others.
However, when he is away from the populars, it's like a whole 'nother person. He laughs at jokes, he TELLS jokes, he talks with everyone, and he smiles almost constantly... until a popular is mentioned, especially the male populars. He still hasn't gotten back at them yet... but he will. One of these days, he will.
Animals/Nature
Since he can't trust humanity as much anymore after his step-father and the populars, he has turned to nature as his guide and savior. He enjoys walking through fields or forests, even just sitting or walking around in circles in tiny copses of trees. He likes the darkness of the forests and the mottled light that penetrates the treetops; it's easier to hide and disappear in there. Flowers are another favorite of his, especially roses because of the thorns. He likes the thorns.
He has a special place in his heart for the "reject" animals that no one seems to really enjoy. Raccoons, squirrels, crows, ravens, and the like are some of his favorites. That doesn't mean they randomly swarm him if he starts singing, but he doesn't chase after them or throw rocks at them. They stay away from him, but they put a smile on his face. At home, he has a pet mouse named Fawkes. No, not after the phoenix. He named it after Guy Fawkes, the bomber...
Creativity
Guy's level of creativity is a 4/5. He can sing, play piano, sketch, and write, but he can't play any other instrument, paint, or sculpt to save his life. Well, he might be able to paint to save his life, but nothing more than that. His sketching ability is pretty good actually with his drawings looking somewhat like the real person, but the eyes and hair always look different... and noses look weird on almost any picture. His singing and piano have gotten him to State a few times, but nothing major after that. His writing, however, is where he excels. He has won contests, gone to writing conferences, and gotten a few poems published online and in books. Pretty cool right!?! Not to anyone at school. To them, it's meh at most and gay at worst.
Strengths:
♥ Speed. Being one of the fastest members of the cross country team has its perks. He can usually run away from any trouble that chases him after school. During school, no such luck usually.
♥ Agility. Since he runs hurdles during track, he has the ability to vault over most obstacles in his way. He has also learned to dodge blows better and twist his body out of harm. They grab his arm, he squirms away like a fish.
♥ Dexterity. His hands are fast and useful in tight situations. His fingers usually fly across keyboards and he has a high rating for words/minute. He can type a three page essay in an hour max.
♥ Intelligence. He is so far one of the top five in his class. He'd be number one if he'd stop reading and writing poetry during class, but oh well, this is what keeps his sane.
♥ Creativity. Poetry and short stories define him. If he is mad, you can find out easily by reading one of his poems. If he is depressed, there will probably be a short story about suicide (he's not suicidal, but this gets rid of negative emotions that might lead to it). He is also in the second-highest art class offered at the school and is an expert sketch artist who can copy faces almost perfectly... almost.
♥ Besides writing, mathematics is one of the few things to keep him sane. He is currently enrolled in Calculus. The reason math keeps him sane is because it's bounded in by rules and order. Everything always makes sense if you know how it moves around and changes. It's never different. Because of this love for mathematics, he always magically knows the exact time of day without looking at a clock - give or take a minute or two, of course. Come on, he's not magic.
Weaknesses:
♣ Romantic Relationships. How can anyone take you seriously in a relationship if you like both sexes? They don't. They think he's cheating on her with HIM and vice versa. His romances last about three weeks and then break off. It has only ever gotten physical twice: one girl; one guy. No "sex" with the guy... but it might as well have been.
♣ Emotions. He used to be able to keep them in perfectly, not letting any hint of sadness or extreme joy out. If it's let out, someone can destroy it or use it against you. Sadly, this wall he had has started to fill with holes drilled in by taunts and jeers. Now it's more like a strainer minus a few holes; it's getting harder to hold it in. He now leaves poetry in library books.
♣ Physical. He has lean muscle, but that's it. The other popular guys are almost all stronger than him and show him that they are by beating him up.
♣ Fear. He used to be brave, but that was beat out of him by his father, his schoolmates, everyone.
Part IIILikes:
☻ Contemporary Rock Music. Specifically bands like "Linkin Park"; "Paramore"; "Icon for Hire"; and "Shiny Toy Guns." This doesn't mean he hates other music but... these are his favorites.
☻ Books and reading and writing. For the obvious reason that it is an escape from reality and the fact that he can put his heart and soul into writing to get rid of the "negative" feelings inside of him. It isn't working so well recently, which is why he joined the Brotherhood.
☻ In-Ear Headphones. It is much easier to block out the taunts and jeers if your ears are stuffed... plus he can secretly listen to music during class easier.
☻ Colorful things like clothing and backpacks and hair. He has dyed his hair blue, purple, and red at different occasions, and he wears colorful clothing that is mildly popular to school.
☻ Romantic Comedies because they are hilarious and Horror/Thriller movies. Specifically ones that involve the nerd surviving and winning.
☻ Cooking. Nothing is better than food, especially his favorite type. SWEETS. DESSERT IS THE BOMB!
☻Coffee/Caffeine. A small addiction of his that includes McDonald's "Frappes" ; anything with the word "Starbucks"; and black coffee.
☻Running. It's the only sport you can do alone really...
☻ Singing. Whether it's to his favorite songs or in a musical, he loves it.
☻Violins and Pianos. Although he can't play a violin for crap, he loves the sound and the feel of a violin. Pianos he can play and his favorite songs to play are "Christmas Canon" and "A Farewell to Ireland" along with "Moonlight Sonata".
Dislikes:
☺ The Populars, but that's a given.
☺One of Guy's main dislikes is homophobia or people just not understanding why he likes both sexes. I mean, you're attracted to him and you're attracted to her. He's just attracted to both! He finds the body beautiful along with the personality!
☺ He dislikes spicy foods with an intense passion; anything even resembling chili peppers or curry is OFF his "To-Eat" list.
☺ Bullies. There is no reason to pick on another person. We all have faults and differences and we must live together with them, not tear each other apart for them.
☺ Pity Party People. Yes, you have it tough. So does he. It's those who rise above what has happened to them and fight back that are the strong ones and the ones who deserve to survive!
☺ Gym class. For the obvious reasons and the fact that it is a subjective grade based around whether or not you were born with the ability to throw, block, or dribble a ball.
☺ Romance Music. Just... ughhhhhh... it's too sexual for his liking.
☺ Western Movies and Purely Romantic Movies. Sexual or boring.
☺People who take advantage of him, obviously.
☺Alcohol, Drinking, Drugs, Smoking, etc. They're such filthy habits that just destroy your beautiful body.
☺ In-Your-Face Confrontation. Physicality has never been his strong suit.
Other:
He has opted out of gym class by writing papers ever since then...

Me, Myself, and I, You have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve
(new)
Mod
Name: Gage Ryker
Gender: Masculine
Sexuality: Pansexual
Age and Grade: Seventeen years old and a Junior at Salem High
Date of Birth: December 18, 1995
Appearance:
Gage Ryker used to be a very tall and lanky person. Over the years his body has grown to be slightly muscular, but not overdone to a degree. His not tan, but not pale complexion makes him look slightly sickly or gray in weak flourescent lights. He always seems to have a calm look on his face no matter what the occasion, even when he's in distress or pain. He's not emotionless though, he's full of emotion and passion, but he just doesn't show it very often. His lip might turn upwards for a second or he might raise his eyebrow, but almost never is it in a fulfledged smile or frown, it's just not his way. His fingers aren't regular for a man's fingers, they are slender and thin, they almost look like lady fingers, but not very much so. His legs are strongly built, but with the type of clothes he wears you can't really tell that. He aims for sweaters with collars and dark jeans that outlines his thighs. He has very dark brown hair that at times can look as black as Death itself in the right type of lighting. He has a thin layer of hair on his arms, but it barely shows through at all. He has very light hazel eyes, always mixing colors between light brown to dark green. It often reminds people of misty mountains with a little bit of rain dripping down their peaks. He has thin lips that are often pursued and a very light pink color. His cheeks are always rosy no matter the weather, becoming splotched when he is sad or a full on blush when he is embarrassed.
Distinctive Markings:
Gage has a silver lip ring on the left side of his mouth.
Also he has a very small tattoo in the curve of his back detailing a butterfly for sentimental reasoning.
History: Gage Ryker was born into a very poor family in a lonely suburbs in New York. The clouds never seemed to clear the sky in that little town. Gage's parents were Walter and Rebecca Ryke. Both of them were very loving creatures and would never do anything to hurt their only son. Gage wasn't a planned pregnancy, it just sort of - happened. They didn't mind though, they took it as a blessing to hold their own darling child in their arms and share with him life.
The Ryke family didn't have an easy life. Not an easy life at all. Money was constantly an issue with everything and most nights they had to sleep on the streets or in an abandoned apartment. At one point they were lucky enough to find an abandoned cottage to the north part of New York. Quickly they stowed away in that small luxury. Gage was only 9 years old when his only family was taken away from him. Every once in a while there were others like their family, but somehow they were different. Gage's family was tormented daily for food and shelter by these people. In Gage's mind there was still the memory of nights shut up in a closest, the only light coming from a small crack in the doorway, hearing the sounds of the damned being beaten until reluctance. Since that time Gage had grown very quiet and his parents had also gotten very emotionless, going from day to day life with nothing, but just the will to survive.
Soon that small fire ran out and there was nothing left to do except run. Run from all the pain. Run to the place where you belong. Run from the ones who torment you. Walter and Rebecca Ryke had gotten to their ends wits. They just simply couldn't go on any longer. On one of the nights where Gage was tucked safely away in his closest, darkness shrouded his eyes and hears, preventing him from the depression that was about to come with a full force. Walter grabbed a gun that they had salvaged from an old cop's body at an abandoned crime scene, loading the trigger very slowly. Tears streamed down Rebecca's cheeks, afraid of what was about to happen in the future. Walter pointed the trigger at the intruders, shooting without relent or grief. After, he put the gun to his wife's head and his own, pulling the trigger softly murmuring his son's name as if to pray to God he would be safe and sound. How can a small child be safe and sound for the rest of his life after what had just happened to the only ones he loved? Surely Rebecca and Walter had thought of that. Maybe they had thought of that and they simply just did not care. That night was the start of something so catastrophic that it would influence every bit of Gage's actions in the future.
Gage was found by the local police scrounging the city's dumpsters for food one night not long after the death of his parents. He was wearing rags and dark circles were under his sad eyes, the malnurished body threatening to fall apart right in front of the authority's eyes. He never spoke once to the police or anyone from that matter. He was transferred to an Orphanage where he lived in content, nothing bad really happening to him. He never talked, ate only the minimum amount of food and slept all day. The Orphanage could care less of what happened to Gage, he was just another mouth to feed to them. Soon, Gage was adopted into the Queen family. The family consisted of a man and woman who couldn't have children on their own. Gage didn't go with a fight, but he didn't seem particularly happy to belong somewhere either. Gage spent around 2 years in that new home until he talked to his adoptive parents. His adoptive parents (Ellie and Ryan) taught Gage to learn how to love again. Slowly, but surely he recovered from the traumatic experience that caused him to seclude himself for so many years. He would do anything for Ellie and Ryan, even if it meant sacrificing himself for their sake.
Gage started school with his new life, not knowing what to expect from it. He didn't make friends very well, but had a few here and there that were brave enough to try and dig deeper into Gage's personality than what he had showed on the outside. School was rough for Gage, he wasn't strong necessarily, always being the victim in games that the other students had liked to play with him. It was only until High School that he learned how to ignore those certain bullies, never giving them a second thought. He had been an outcast, and always would be an outcast, but he would protect his fellow outcasts from being victimized by the ones who beat them down.
Reason for being in The Brotherhood:
Gage has many reasons why he is in The Brotherhood. He uses the 'populars' as a motivation and symbolism for the tormentors that killed his parents and made them choose to kill themselves. He views himself as a victim of their hurt and wants to protect the ones he loves if it steals away his life then so be it, he would gladly sacrifice himself for his family and friends. It is his personal mission to rue upon the 'populars' what they had done to the only people he has ever truly loved.
Assigned: [TBA]
Family:
Mother: Rebecca Ryke
Father Walter Ryke
Adoptive Mother Ellie Queen
Adoptive Father Ryan Queen
Personality: Gage likes and needs to spend time alone, because this is when he can sort things out in his minds most clearly. He absorbs large quantities of impersonal facts from the external world, and sort through those facts, making judgments, when he is alone.
Gage is action-oriented people. He likes to be up and about, doing things. He is not a person to sit behind a desk all day and do long-range planning. Adaptable and spontaneous, he responds to what is immediately before them. He usually has strong technical skills, and can be effective technical leaders. He focuses on details and practical things. He has an excellent sense of expediency and grasp of the details which enables him to make quick, effective decisions.
Gage avoids making judgments based on personal values - he feels that judgments and decisions should be made impartially, based on the fact. He is not naturally tuned in to how he is affecting others. He does not pay attention to his own feelings, and even distrusts them and tries to ignore them, because he has difficulty distinguishing between emotional reactions and value judgments. This may be a problem area for him.
Gage, if he is over-stressed may exhibit rash emotional outbursts of anger, or on the other extreme may be overwhelmed by emotions and feelings which he feels compelled to share with people (often inappropriately). Gage, who is down on himself will foray into the world of value judgments - a place which is not natural for him - and judge himself by their inability to perform some task. He will then approach the task in a grim emotional state, expecting the worst.
Gage is excellent in a crisis situations. He is usually a good athlete, and has very good hand-eye coordination. He is good at following through with a project, and tying up loose ends. He usually doesn't have much trouble with school, because he is an introvert who can think logically. He is usually patient a individual, although he may be prone to occasional emotional outbursts due to his inattention to their own feelings.
Gage has a lot of natural ability which makes him good at many different kinds of things. However, he is happiest when he is centered in action-oriented task which require detailed logical analysis and technical skill. He takes pride in his ability to take the next correct step.
Gage is usually optimistic, full of good cheer, loyal to his equals, uncomplicated in his desires, generous, trusting and a receptive person who wants no part in confining commitments.
Strengths:
+ He can be a very loving and caring person in the right enviornment
+ He is well trained in the art of hand to hand combat fighting, but chooses not to apply it
+ He is a very, very creative person that chooses not to have many outlets for that creativity, but instead puts it into sadistic works in his mind.
Weaknesses:
+ Is not a very open minded person to say the least. The discrimination that followed him through the years made him to believe that almost no one is nice and it will take a lot for him to get on the right track to open mindedness.
+ Takes things to heart and holds a grudge for far too long and never lets it go for as long as he lives, but only through passoniate love and forgiveness will he learn to forgivet he ones who ruined him
+ Defiance grips him to his very sides. He chooses his own path and no one can make him choose any differently, it would take a miracle to make him follow you to the world's end. If he wants to though he will surely do it with loyalty.
Likes:
+ He loves 80's classic rock music, such as 'Red Hot Chili Peppers', 'Billy Joel', 'David Bowie', and 'Green Day'. It's his vent to where the music really connects to the soul of the person listening.
+ Animals, Gage feels he can connect to more than humans. By following this rule, he has come to love every animal that has come to pass his way, knowing that they have very own stories like his own.
+ Colors. Colors mean everything to Gage, the way things appear in his eyes, dark, bright, light, dull.

Dislikes:
+ Populars, but as so many other people have said, that one is pretty obvious!
+ Country music is something that Gage cannot and will not tolerate. He simply just does not care for that type of music and he won't have anything to do with it.
+ Cotton clothing. It's a weird phobia, but cotton clothing is something that catches fire very easily and he has always been scared that if he wears it, it might catch fire in a kitchen or anywhere really that fire is a possibility.
+ Guns. He hates guns. It's the thing that took his parents and so many lives away from animals and humans, his distaste for them really shows at times.
Other: He owns a small cat that he named Jovi after one of his favorite bands 'Bon Jovi' :)
