[ Appearance ]




[ Face Claim ] Logan Lerman

[ Eyes ]
Behind his glasses are a pair of wicked green eyes, they are holding a lot of secrets and plans. They are the kind of eyes that can seep directly into your soul without a word to you.
[ Hair ]
Thick mop of black hair that can hardly stay nice, he’s given up trying in fact. It goes how it pleases and is inky black like his soul (as he likes to say).
[ Body Type ]
He’s lean, nothing particularly special. His body is healthy and he goes to the gym to keep it that way. Apollo isn’t about getting jacked or whatever guys are into. He just wants to look good naked.
[ Distinct Markings ]
His glasses are an integral part of his face, they are only off when he’s showering or sleeping. He also has a prosthetic leg from the accident, though most people don’t know because he doesn’t seem clunky about it nor does he share the fact that he has one publicly. Most of the time, this is discovered just before sex, but the girls never seem to mind.

[ Personality ]


[ Biggest Strength & Fatal Flaw ]


[ History ]
Apollo and Artemis (view spoiler)[pictured in the gif (hide spoiler)] Percival had always been inseparable, the twins were closer than most and knew it. They loved being paired together in conversation and in life as well. Growing up with each other meant growing up with your best friend. The two did practically everything together, knowing that they would always have each other’s backs. Life was great for them in New York, they loved the rich history of the area and always went exploring to discover something new. It was Apollo who truly loved seeing what build their city, but Artemis loved her brother so she was supportive to a fault to help him see what made him the happiest. She loved dance and was damn good at it too. She wanted to dance on Broadway one day.
That day never came for Artemis. Both of them were intoxicated, not terribly, but to the point that driving should have never even been in the picture, even if their house was only a few blocks away. It was cold outside and neither of them wanted to walk home. Apollo slipped behind the wheel of the car and the last thing he remembered was the crunch of metal and the smell of blood. Waking up without a leg was bearable, waking up without Artemis was like death for him. They were both only 16 at the time and had life forever altered. The hardest part of it all for him was the fact that it was completely his fault. His parents lost all respect and trust for him, almost disowned him even, but they knew what he truly needed was help.
Apollo spent a good portion of his sophomore year in a rehab-type facility that took care of teaching him how to function without his left leg and how to stay far away from alcohol. It proved to work well for him, he is now two years sober and running with his father in the mornings. The trial of losing his sister eventually brought the family closer together and when his parents had an accident baby the next year that helped as well. Yet the nightmares still haunt him on occasion and he has never truly forgiven himself for killing his best friend.

Family:
Father: Ethan Fortin
Mother: Mallory Fortin
Brother: Jason Fortin
Sister: Reese Fortin

History:
Unlike most of the population at the Aurelia Auburn Academy for the Arts, Neil already has a career. Or had on to be technical. See while most of his classmates were off doing algebra or English, Neil was on tour with his brother and sister with their band It Doesn't Matter (the name was meant to be a joke, but it caught on before they had time to change it to something serious).

Wait, what? A band? A tour?

Let's rewind a bit, shall we?

Neil Harris Fortin is the third child to Ethan and Mallory Fortin, two years younger than his sister Reese, and four years younger than his brother Jason. It was obvious from a young age that all three of the Fortin children could sing. Like actually sing. And not just sing but also write some great catchy songs. Homeschooling had it's benefits in that sense.

So the three siblings were close and spent most of their time singing and writing songs. And one day all of a sudden the band began to catch on. Like their songs were on the radio every two minutes, people came to their concerts kind of catch on. And life was great. The three siblings would go on tour and do their thing. Sure Jason would be picky about every little thing Neil and Reese did that had the potential of "ruining everything they had worked for" but the younger Fortin siblings ignored Jason's jibes and taunts. They formed an alliance against their older brother actually. So in Neil's eyes, life was great.

But then Reese left for camp. And Neil was left alone with Jason. Yeah, Jason was Neil's brother. But that didn't mean he had to act like one. Without Reese, Neil had no one to stand up to Jason with and Jason took full advantage of the fact that Reese was no longer there to protect Neil. Whatever frustrations that Jason would have, he would take it out on Neil. He would downplay Neil's accomplishments, insult his singing, sometimes he would even smack his brother because he "sang like a donkey f*cking a horse." (He wasn't that bright when it came to insults). And when he wasn't yelling at Neil for being a failure? He was either getting high, feeling up some fangirl who was crazy enough to come back to the hotel room with him or both.

Every tour night was a repeat of the preceding one. Insult Neil. Get high and do it with some fangirl. Nothing like walking in on your brother doing it with some random fangirl. So when Jason got caught with drugs and was sent to jail? Neil was more than relieved. He was getting tired of the "glamorous" life with Jason.

Neil was more than happy to drop out of the spot light and actually go to a real school. Not just visit a tutor the day before a gig. And Neil was more than happy to be back with his sister, Reese. Sure they had grown apart in the years after she left the band, but he still looked up to her like any younger sibling did. More than anything, Neil is just happy to be leading a "normal life."

Hey, Scout! I'm working on Jennifer, care to give me some insight on what you were thinking for Tabitha?



also: someone should make this a thing

[dyanne]

scout + shad; omg i love ittt
i love arend
if shads cool with it we should def have a trio

[rose]

omg haha yas

and I just mean like the relationship Tabitha and Jennifer would have? like did you want them to be close?
Jen is going to be a really charming girl that doesn't ever really get angry
like she just chills out immediately and handles herself very well
She lets everything roll off of her like she's not affected, and she would spend most of her time dealing with other people's problems
I want her to be the future President type -- very eloquent, kind, and understanding
She'll be really good at getting what she wants, but she doesn't play dirty to get it type deal?
idk if I'm explaining any of this in a conveyable way
Like she's just going to be really down to Earth and relatable
and I feel like I'm going to have her hate someone because no one can be that nice

[dyanne]

anD OMG SCOUT ALREADY VOLUNTEERED
but wth i volunteer as well

here's Jen
I have to leave for work, so
(view spoiler)[

∞Name: Jennifer Marie Zahav
↳Nickname: Jen, Jenny, the works
∞Gender: female
∞Age: 18

∞Occupation: CE
- Political Science
- Adjudication & Law Proceedings

∞Grade: 12
∞Years of Attendance: 4 years, baby.

∞Appearance:


∞Hair Color- ginger
∞Eye Color- grayish/green
∞Height- 5'7''
∞Body Type- see picture
∞Distinctive Markings-
∞Faceclaim: unknown
Jennifer has yet to master the whole poker face thing... and she is still very far from it. She's very expressive, and more often than not her facial expressions contradict her words. As hard as she might try to be nice, her eyes will betray her disinterest in a geeky Sophomore explaining to her the exact rotation of the planets around the sun... bleh.

Though it's not all bad, Jenny is most infamous for her binder and smirk, two things she never leaves home without.

∞Personality: Jennifer is a bit of a people-pleaser... she's not a pushover, she just knows how to work people to get what she wants. The difference between her and a lot of people at Ridgeport though, is that her motives aren't self serving. Jen really just is a kind person (more than anyone else at Ridgeport, at least), though she isn't selfless, she definitely puts other people before herself. She has always been the friend to listen to everyone else's problems, just sort of offering advice and sitting quietly while they vent. She just eats back snarky comments and tries to understand where other people are coming from.

It's actually sort of comical how quiet Jenny can be... not in the way that she doesn't talk a lot, but if she said half of the things out loud she thinks in her head. Yikes. Her words are always very thoughtful, and well worded. Her expressions? Ha. hahahahahaha. Oops. Even so, when she's joking around with people, she still has an air of eloquence about herself. She's pretty professional, always dressed nicely and all that jazz. Golden child. Yay.

Though it can be quite exhausting, Jen tries to maintain a happy-go-lucky, easy going demeanor. Unlike most people at this school, she actually socializes in a positive way with other students she encounters. You would probably hate being around her if it wasn't so genuine. She just sort of lets people's attitudes roll off her skin, not letting people affect her. One might say it was product of how she was raised -- high expectations, being the bigger person and all that jazz. She likes to think she's above all the drama and whatnot here at Ridgeport, only because she chooses to ignore it, not because she's not involved in it. One can only try, right?

↳Biggest Strength:
↳ Jen is an organization goddess. She's fabulous at planning things, which is why she's the Student-Appointed Activities Director.

↳Fatal Flaw:
↳ Jennifer cannot live without her binder. Her flaw isn't necessarily the book itself, but everything she puts into it. She is incredibly controlling... she always needs to write down her plans for the day, the week, and the month. It's the ritual she has, and she literally cannot stop. Never once has Jennifer just let things fall into place how they may -- she has to have a hand in everything she does or she feels like it's a complete disaster.


∞Family/History: A description of its members and the roles they play in society.

∞Biggest Fear: Isn't it obvious? That book is her life. Do. Not. Touch. It. She will literally murder you.

∞MEM: So like... Enrichment. That class? Literally fucking hell. Jennifer is very intelligent, pretty good at most things. But you know what she's not good at? Fucking sports and art. Why that class is even necessary is beyond her. Every time she rotates through the sports and performing arts sections of Enrichment she wants to shoot herself in the face just to get out of it. Like she's so bad it's continuously embarrassing.

Though one moment stands out in particular in these lovely little guinea pig experiments. Sophomore year, she was in the rec sports rotation (fuck), and they were playing some German version of handball, where for some stupid reason there were three balls in this game? There were sticks involved, it was all really confused and awful. Jennifer was perfectly content to stand away out of the action, and Leonal Fucking Anderson was perfectly content not to let her. Jennifer still holds a grudge to this very day.

Long story short, she tripped after he ran into her (for the second time, mind you), and when she tried to catch her fall she caught his gym shorts instead. Like if that wasn't awful enough, he fell on top of her. She screamed bloody murder so loud, she could have gotten casted for a murder movie from three miles away.

∞Other: Jennifer's binder:


It's black on the outside, and the inside is completely flooded with everything Jennifer has crammed into it over the past four years. Her entire life is in that book, and anytime someone asks her what's inside she just says "Homework" In reality, she's just a control freak, and its contents include but are not limited to: schedules, goals, nutrition lists, bucket lists, doodles, future events, all things planning... the works.
