[{Full Name} Victoria Dianne Evans
~Nickname/s~ Tori, Vicky

{Gender} Female
~Sexuality~ Heterosexual

{Nationality/ies} ⅓ French, ⅓ American, ⅓ Dutch

{Age} 17
~Date/Place/Time of Birth~ 3rd May/Manhattan, New York/9:36am

{Heightened Ability} Victoria possesses advanced mixed martial arts abilities, including a wide range of tae kwon do, karate, judo, kendo and many others, also a little kick boxing thrown in.

{Appearance}


(view spoiler)

*Height: 5"4
*Weight: 120 lbs
*Hair Colour: Dark mahogany, sometimes confused for an inky black.
*Eye Colour: Clear blue oculars
*Body Type: Victoria's body is envied by most women, her curvy figure the epitome of attention. Her waist is slim, hips flaring into lovely, slim legs. her chest is very developed, the big eye-drawer of men.
*Distinctive Markings: Victoria has multiple piercings studding her ears, two cartilage on each and three lobe piercings on her left ear. She even has a bar in her right ear. She has none on her face though, the thought of her features getting mutilated fears her.

{Personality}
The first impressions Victoria normally gives off at first is a confident, fun girl who radiates friendliness. She literally draws people in with her welcoming attitude, though to less than friendly people, she tends to return the favour. Victoria was always the rebellious child, only doing what she wanted when she wanted to. Multiple times she stole cars for 'joy rides' and to simply anger her parents, hang out with the school outcasts. She fit in to most cliques, not that she liked hanging out with the prissy, perfect girls. Tori has a very alternate sense of style, believing her own uniqueness is what defines her as a person. She likes people to see in her what she wants them to see, and though Victoria is a very confident young woman, she has many insecurities buried within her soul. As an example, her body shape. Over the years, she had developed a very muscular and toned body from her efforts in martial arts, yet people had teased her when she was younger about being the 'fattie' and overweight. Victoria hates speaking her emotions, and tries to show people what they want to see in her. She hates feeling vulnerable, and will not tolerate bullies. Her heart is like a one way gate- she allows others to confide and believe in her, but let's none get close enough to her to know her deepest secrets.

{Basic History}
Victoria was born into the upper class of Manhattan, New York, and was expected to abide to the veiled laws of the higher society. She hated every aspect of her spoilt life, the fact that many people in the same city couldn't even afford a home. Not only that, but her parents could never appreciate anything she did, especially her martial arts lessons. At the point where Victoria refused to attend her masquerade party, they disowned her from their household when Tori was fifteen. With a heavy heart, Victoria escaped Manhattan and found a home on the boundaries of Albany, finding a home with a fellow combat partner. During the two years, she developed a strange sense for justice that seemed to override any other sense in her passionate soul. When she received the letter inviting her to the convention, she was wary at first. It could have been one of her parent's conventions that they threw all over America, but with a closer look, she knew this could not be from them. Victoria decided to go, and when she arrived at the location of the convention, she was utterly captivated by it's beauty, drawn into the world of the Carnival.

{Relationships}
She has no romantic interests at the moment, her parents long forgotten from her mind.

{Strengths}
- Reservations
- Martial Arts
- Confident attitude

{Weaknesses}
- Sense of justice
- Cynical attitude
- Mentioning of her body shape

(view spoiler)

{Personality}

Quiet,Shy,Caring, Intelligent

When you first meet Delphine you will see that she is quite shy. You may have not even noticed her because she's so quiet. You see, this isn't because she's afraid of people or because she has a hard time communicating, it's because she avoids people. She dislikes everybody, mostly because she thinks that they are cruel. They use each other and when they don't need them anymore, they ditch them for somebody else who they can use. Delphine constantly tells herself that she doesn't need friends. That she'd get betrayed again in the end. She focuses on herself and on her studies,and nothing more than that. People think she's rather cold hearted, or that she's weird because she's different from people. They use her weaknesses against her, and she doesn't talk to people because of that. Some guys think that she acts all badass or something because she avoids people, and they find that attractive. Of course, she doesn't pay much attention to them.

Speaking about her studies, Delphine is very intelligent. She's very smart, almost too smart. She's always one step ahead of everybody, though she's trained herself to be so over the years. Delphine is very into hacking and she isn't going to stop it anytime soon.She may just make a job from it . If you're attempting to to get close to her, you may as well just stop because she doesn't let anybody in.


{Basic History} Delphine lived a happy life as a young child. She had one role model, and that was her brother. She didn't know it, but her family wasn't the happiest. Her brother also wasn't the best person. Delphine's brother was quite the criminal. He would hack into large systems, many of those being banks. Lets just say that Delphine's family didn't have much money. He had a good heart and his mind was in the right place but he was doing things the wrong way. He would often hack into the schools system and get the address' of rich students. He would go to their homes and steal from them, then later on provide his family with that money. This went on for quite some time, and although Delphine was young he began to teach her what he knew. Nick had many friends that would accompany him,and they also used hacking to do many things. One night, things didn't go very well. They had entered a home only to find that the student was awaiting their presence. He assaulted them,and though most of them escaped safe,Nick didn't have much luck. He was killed,and Delphine was devastated. Nick always told his friends if he ever leave them, they should teach Delphine what they know; which is exactly what they did. They taught her everything, and she excelled in hacking.

Not much after the death of her brother she began to get betrayed. Her family would gain more and more money from the steals, and although they weren't rich they weren't as poor as before. Though many of Delphine's friends were still quite poor. They would use her for anything she had,which wasn't much. Delphine would be excluded from everything even though her 'friends' would come over her house and use everything she had. She slowly grew sad and realized what they were doing. What was worse was that they would snicker and plan what they would do next at her house.They would even speak about using her when she was right in front of them. From then on, Delphine realized she didn't need friends. She didn't need anybody.

{Full Name} Breccan Evander Scharf
~Nickname/s~ He won't respond to anything but his name.

{Gender} Male ♂
~Sexuality~ Heterosexual - Attracted to the opposite sex.

{Nationality/ies} 50% Norwegian, 25% American, 25% Danish

{Age} Seventeen years of age {17}
~Date/Place/Time of Birth~
ღ July 5th
ღ Oslo, Norway
ღ 12:37am

{Heightened Ability}
Enhanced Memory: Breccan is able to remember every tiny detail of his life thus far as clearly as if he were watching it unfold in a film. He easily memorises everything, therefore his mind is incredibly crowded. However, remembering sometimes makes him feel tired. He has learnt to push everything to the back of his mind and pry each memory, fact, name and song lyric away when he needs it.

{Appearance} Face Claim: Jørn Jordhøy

(view spoiler)

[ Height ] 6'1
[ Weight ] 170 pounds
[ Hair Colour ] Light brown
[ Eye Colour ] Pale green/grey
[ Body Type ]
Breccan possesses a strong body. Standing at 6'1 he is neither too muscular or too scrawny. He has a body many guys envy and many girls would be willing to kill, just to get a touch of his abs. He's tall and his torso seems to fit the shape of his face and his legs perfectly.
[ Distinctive Markings ]
Breccan has a scar running down the left side of his body from where he fell out of a tree as a child. He also has a tattoo. He knows what it means, no one else seems to.
(view spoiler)

{Personality}
At first glance, Breccan comes off as someone who would have quite a number of good friends, like he'd be very popular. However, he's quite the opposite. Breccan isn't someone who "does" friends. Breccan is an aloof person, he is neither friendly, nor forthcoming and he generally keeps to himself, coming off as distant and cold. Breccan is the strong, silent type. He stands tall and he observes but he doesn't state his opinion very often at all. If he actually tried, Breccan could be incredibly social. He has good people skills, just doesn't use them for he simply doesn't see the point. He's so patient though. Nothing seems to phase him and he is not easily frustrated. He basically views everyone who does get frustrated easily and those who seem to do stupid things for the fun of it as inferior to himself. But he wouldn't tell anyone this.

Breccan doesn’t talk. He's been mute by choice for quite a number of years, for he can't be bothered to deal with anyone who he views as inferior to him, or those who are just too stupid to waste his precious time on. Which is basically everyone. Another reason for his silence is that he has been hurt to many times in the past for his, or anyone for that matter's liking. He doesn't trust easily at all, meaning that he refuses to befriend anyone unless he has been able to get to know them well and understand who they are and where they are coming from. Which doesn't happen often at all because, when others find out that he is mute, they don't go to the effort of hanging around him because they can't properly get to know him. However, Breccan is not always distant and refusing to befriend others, because when he meets someone he finds particularly interesting, he cannot help but take an interest in them. Whether it be that he actually approaches them and mills around, or he simply observes them from a distance.

Despite the fact that it appears that Breccan could never be a likeable person, he is actually a rather humble being and he truly is giving and above all, sensitive. Breccan is an insecure soul and he hides his true self beneath his silent demeanour. If people gave him a chance, and he them, they would find that what lays beneath is one of the kindest and most trustworthy people anyone could ever lay eyes on. Breccan is daring, loyal and adventurous and he's an amazingly strong will. However, Breccan fears for what would await him if he became more open, more likeable and more loving. He doesn't trust that others will treat him right, so he prefers it that no one give him a chance because he's happier that way. If he makes himself come off as unforgiving and cold, then he has no chance of being hurt by those he cares about. He has become a truly lonely person, but he's ok with that.


{Basic History}
Breccan was born on July 5th in the city of Oslo in Norway at approximately 12:37am in the year 1996. He was born to Karl and Ruby Scharf and was the youngest son out of the six of them, each boy only one year apart.
Breccan's family never had a lot of money, but his large family managed to get by all the same. The first few years of Breccan's life were good. He and his brothers would rough house like every boy, they'd play games in their large garden like hide-and-seek, tag and things like cops and robbers and capture the flag. Life was simple, though not entirely easy. His parents both worked at least three jobs each, trying to earn enough money to support their children. But in the end, they could no longer handle the stress. They couldn't afford to supply for their children, so they had to put all six boys up for adoption. It hurt them more than anything, it pained them to see their boys go. The children they had worked so hard for. But, it was what was best for them.

Breccan and his brothers all ended up going separate ways aside from the twins, William and Douglas, who could not be separated, no matter what. One would end up falling apart without the other, so they were adopted by a nice couple in their thirties. Breccan was adopted at first by Simon and Mary Wilson, who were a couple living in London, England. He had to pack up the life he had so loved in Norway and move all the way across to the other side of the world to live in London. It was a huge change for the then six year old boy and he could not handle it properly. He didn’t behave, was constantly getting himself into trouble and he just didn't like Simon and Mary. So in the end, they too had to give him up for adoption.

Once Breccan was adopted by Thomas and Saskia Larson, he moved over to New York where he managed to live for about a year and half, but soon he came to realise that he didn't want to live there. So, he was shipped off to yet another new family, adopted by Carla and David Thompson, ending with Breccan living in Toronto, Canada. After that, he was moved again to Ireland, then he was shipped to Scotland, London again, California, Oregon, he even led a stint in Australia and one Russia . Throughout the whole ordeal with his movement, Breccan became mute by choice.

The last family he ended up with after Russia was Tori and Logan Walters in Texas. He managed to keep his then thirteen year old self in Texas for two years, but in the end, he could no longer live there. So instead of being shipped off to yet another family he wouldn't be happy with, Breccan picked himself up, gathered the few possessions he owned and left. He decided he would be better alone. He would be happier alone. So he travelled the US, living in dingy motel rooms, the streets, shacking up with people his age for certain amounts of time, but he never ended up staying in one place for longer than a month. His goal was to land himself back in Oslo, back with his true parents. Back to the only life he had ever remotely enjoyed. But he never reached his goal.

At the age of seventeen, somehow, from somewhere, Breccan received a letter inviting him to a convention for ten days. At this point in time, he'd been living in an old warehouse, so he decided to take the letter up on it's offer so that he could live in luxury for a few days. Anything was better than the old, run-down, dirty warehouse.

☯ ƒ ι η η у  ☯ | 58 comments {Full Name} Allister Cameron Scott
~Nickname/s~Cameron,Cam,Cammy

{Gender} Male ♂
~Sexuality~ Heterosexual

➳ 1/3 French

{Heightened Ability} Cameron has quite the silver tongue. He can persuade you to do and or believe almost anything. He can get himself out of almost anything, though he doesn't use it for anything bad. What allows him to do so is mostly because of his appearance and personality.

{Appearance}
*Height: 6'2
*Weight: 175 lbs.
*Hair Colour:Golden Blonde
*Eye Colour: Dark Brown
*Body Type: He's toned, not so muscular. Cameron plays lots of sports so it's not like he worked to hard to be where he is.
*Distinctive Markings: He doesn't have any tattoo's or piercings but he does have quite some stubble on his face that adds a lot of sex appeal.

{Personality}

Womanizer,Popular,Kind,Caring,Funny

Cameron is quite the womanizer. No wonder though. With looks like his you could get anything you want. Although he flaunts it off at times,and he may seem arrogant or egotistical, he really isn't. Seriously. Cameron has some major insecurities. Like his name for instance. He hates the name Allister, so he's fooled everybody into thinking it's Cameron. Even the teachers call him Cameron. He knows that many people think he is attractive, he himself doesn't think so. Though there is a reason for this. Though we'll talk about that later.

Along with his great looks, Cameron is popular among everybody. Teachers,Parents,Guys,Girls; everybody loves him. It may be because he's good looking, it may be because he's actually very caring. Cameron is somebody who can't leave 'loners' or quiet people alone. He doesn't know why, but he feels compelled to speak with them. Cameron especially loves when they get that small gleam in their eyes, showing that he had made them happy. He's a great guy. Not only is he caring, but he's kind. Cameron's the guy who makes a girls day by telling her she looks beautiful even though it may be one of her bad hair days.

Cameron's somebody who will tease playfully just to annoy you, although he doesn't mean anything mean when doing so. It's mostly towards girls who he's close to, or just girls who he thinks that are cute. He likes seeing how frustrated they get, mostly because it shows they aren't fake. They don't go along with it and act like everything's okay. He especially hates fake people. He calls them plastic, mostly because their whole appearance and personality is fake. Cameron prefers natural beauty. Cameron is also sarcastic,though not in a bad way. He likes to make a sarcastic joke here and there, but he never uses it to hurt somebody. Cameron is overall a great guy, to other people that is.


{Basic History}

Cameron hasn't had the most pleasant of pasts. As a young boy, he lived with his father because his mother passed away giving birth to him. He was blamed for her death,and although when he was a young boy he would cry and deny it; when he grew older he started to believe it. His fathers verbal abuse started off as only that. Though as the years passed and Cameron grew older, his father slowly began to get physical. He would hit him and throw him across the room while he called him worthless and many more hurtful things. That is probably one of the reasons Cameron is so self conscious about himself. At times Cameron tried to defend himself and fight back, though that would always end in him getting beaten worse. Soon Cameron stopped resisting all together. He started to wound himself by believing the words his father threw at him. So, it's nothing new if Cameron shows up with a new bruise every few weeks. He always has an excuse for it, and everybody believes him.

『 〓 』• Pronounced | n-WA-r | KRIS-toh-fer | BU-cha-nan | 
• Nior is of French origin, taking the meaning of "black". Translated over to English, it has an entirely different meaning. The three most prominent definitions are: 1.Of or relating to the film noir genre; 2. Of or relating to a genre of crime literature featuring tough, cynical characters and bleak settings; 3. Suggestive of danger or violence.
• Christopher is of Greek origin, and the meaning of Christopher is "bearing Christ". From Khristophoros. Popular among early Christians. The legend of Saint Christopher as the patron saint of travelers grew from the story of a giant who made his living carrying people across a river. According to the legend, one day he carried across a child whom he discovered was actually Christ. Revived in the 1940s by the popularity of A.A. Milne's "Winnie the Pooh", whose human hero is called Christopher Robin. Christofer and Christoffer are German forms. Christophe (kris-TAWF) is French. Explorer Christopher Columbus; actors Christopher Plummer, Christopher Reeve; architect Christopher Wren.
• Buchanan is a Scottish surname. It means two things: 1) One who came from the district of Buchanan, a location near Loch Lomond in Scotland. From the Gaelic elements buth, meaning "house" and chanain, meaning "of the canon." 2) An anglicization of the German buchenhain, meaning "beech wood."

【 Eʀʀᴏʀ 】Nɪᴄᴋɴᴀᴍᴇs Uɴᴀᴠᴀɪʟᴀʙʟᴇ
Noir is aware that is name is unusual, and doesn't much take a liking to people trying to find a way around it. Just because it's feminine and sounds like a cute name for a pet doesn't mean it's not his name.

Not everyone has a widely adapted sense of empathy for other people, and most psychopaths and sociopaths don't have it. With the arrival to The Carnival, Noir's already strong empathy has been heightened to where he's even more able to put himself in other people's shoes. He knows how others feel on a level that he doesn't quite understand.

¤ᒪᗩﬡᗴ૪¤ {Full Name} Joshua Thomas
~Nickname/s~ Josh

{Gender} Male ♂
~Sexuality~ Bisexual, with a preference toward men.

{Nationality/ies} A distant mix of English, Russian, and Italian.

{Age} 17
~Birthday~ March 8

{Heightened Ability} Problem Solving. He can almost automatically see every possible way to reach a solution, whether it be a math problem or a real-world situation. Then, it's up to him to pick the most effective and appropriate path.

{Appearance}


*Height: 6'2"
*Weight: 180
*Hair Colour: Dark brown
*Eye Colour: Hazel
*Body Type: Lean, kinda lanky
*Distinctive Markings: Nada.

{Personality} Josh is a total goofball. He's almost always joking around and tries not to take anything personally. Although he's always lighthearted and compassionate, he's not very trusting. He acts nice enough, sure, but he's secretly suspicious of everyone. He also hates not knowing the plan and doesn't like being in a 'follower' role. He is a natural leader, who needs concrete evidence of things. Joshua won't believe something until he sees it himself. He trusts in using logic and reason and thinks that every situation has a good solution, if you know how to find it.

{Basic History} Growing up with very Catholic parents is pretty hard when you're gay (for the most part) and don't believe in God. He first knew he didn't believe in god when he was very young. His parents had this blind faith that he just couldn't understand. He questioned everything, until finally he was punished for it because he started asking questions that no one had the answers to. He stopped going to church when he was fifteen, and on top of that, came out to his parents. They pretty much both had a conniption fit and disowned him. Well, actually, they threw him out and he emancipated himself. He's been living on his own ever since.

{Relationships} He has a very strained relationship with his family, but he does see them occasionally.

{Strengths} Problem Solving
{Weaknesses} Insecure
Unsure of himself

{Other} I'll add more to the strengths and weaknesses later.

~Nickname/s~ Danny

{Gender} Male
~Sexuality~ Heterosexual

{Nationality/ies} 100% American

{Age} 18
~Date/Place/Time of Birth~ November 11/South Carolina/ 2:02

{Heightened Ability} A bit cat like, he can land almost any fall, unharmed. This does not just apply to short falls, he has tested it at great heights and it seems to always hold true. Someday, he might get to confident and try too high, who knows?

{Appearance}

(view spoiler)

*Height: 6'1
*Weight: 180
*Hair Colour: Dark brown
*Eye Colour: Dark brown
*Body Type: Danny has a tall, broader build. He is quite muscular, but not bulky.
*Distinctive Markings: A scar on the back of his shoulder is very visible. Over the years it has turned into a faded white line.

{Personality}

Flirtatious can't even begin to describe Danny. A common word used to describe him would be "casanova". He knows how the ladies work, and he is quite good at seducing them. What most people don't know, he is just trying to find the right one. Someday he hopes to settle down and live a simple life.

Overall, Danny is a very optimistic and happy fellow. He can always be seen laughing, grinning, and most commonly, smirking. It is a rare and special moment when anger or any other emotion occupy his features. Danny is the kind of person who can brush off other peoples problems with him and move on. He doesn't enjoy fighting, and most likely will avoid it at all costs.

Those who know him well, are able to see the soft side of him. He can be a true gentlemen, if he really cares for you. Plus, he has a secret love for children. His family has found him cuddling a newborn, holding a toddler, and playing tag with other children. He hopes to have many of them in the future.

{Basic History}

Danny came into this world at 2:02 am, in the smallest of cabs in the Beautfort area. His parents had been thrilled to have a little boy at such an unexpected time. Even more thrilled to find out he was healthy. It had been a hard pregnancy and the doctors had told them there was a very high chance their baby wouldn't make it. They treated Drew as their little miracle and raised him with all the love they could offer. They gave every opportunity in life, letting him choose his own path.

Everything began to change after the triplets were born into the family. Danny had been 12 years old when the fighting started. He would hide in his room to try to block out the yells, but it was never enough. The unhappiness of his parents, rubbed off onto him. He would choose to bury himself in music and books to hide from it all. Soon both of his parents began to spend most of their time out of the house, leaving the three young girls and Drew all alone most days. Drew began to care for his sisters to the best of his abilities.

When his parents finally decided to get a divorce, it had almost been a relief. Drew's dad took over the house and his mother took Gracie, Bella, Lizzie and him away. The fighting stopped completely and things started to look better. The girls still prefer to be with Danny over his mother, due to the long years he had to care for them by himself.

To this day, Danny promised he would not end up like his parents. Anything, but them.

{Relationships} Has a terrible relationship with his father and an okay one with his mom. He loves his three sisters very much and believes he would be lost without them.

{Personality}

Sydney is a bit of a silent, watchful type. She would much rather be found observing a situation then actually be apart of it. She will not go out of her way to talk to you, nor will she try to become your friend. Life to her, is not about the friendships you make, but about what you accomplish. When she sets a goal, she will follow through with it.

Do not be deceived by your first impression of her. Once you begin to talk to her, you can see she is quite pleasant and easy to make conversation with. An amused expression always seems to reside on her face, and nothing seems to physically bother her. Sydney has a charming laugh, but uses it rarely. Those who can make her laugh should feel accomplished.

{Basic History}
Sydney was born in a little house in the country of Maine. She grew up with her brother and her mom, living a modest life. Both her and her brother had been one night stands for their mother. Jessie Allen does not like to talk about the past with her children, so Sydney ignores how she was brought into the world. Only having one parent make money for the household, they always suffered a bit in the money department. Despite this, they still lived a happy life. She went to a small school and had some wonderful memories. Much of her high school year were spent with her older brother and that was how she liked it. Simple, yet perfect.

Melissa {Full Name}
Franchesca Michelle Beaumont
~Nickname/s~
Frannie or Fran

{Gender}
Female
~Sexuality~
Heterosexual

{Nationality/ies}
French/Danish/English/Irish

{Age}
19
~Date/Place/Time of Birth~
Frannie was born May 23 at 2:37am in a small hospital outside of New York city.

{Heightened Ability}
Expert Escapologist

{Appearance} (view spoiler)

*Height: 5'2"
*Weight: 94lbs
*Hair Colour: Brown
*Eye Colour: Brown
*Body Type: Small and lithe

{Personality} Frannie is shy and doesn't like talking to people face to face. She wants to be courageous like a heroine from one of the many novels she reads but when faced with a situation which calls for such courage..... Well she chickens out. It may have something to do with the death of her parents and essentially raising herself, or perhaps it's got to do with not having any close friends in real life. Either way she considers herself a coward. She has strong opinions about bullying or picking on the weak but keeps them to herself since she rarely sees anyone being picked on anyway. She keeps an extra pair of glasses on her at all times, usually in her bag because she's paranoid that something will happen to the ones she wears and she's blind as a newborn naked mole rat without them. She has contacts but hates wearing them because she's scared they'll get stuck in her eyes. In all she considers herself a small, clumsy, scared girl who couldn't stand up to a mouse if her life depended on it.

{Basic History}
After a traumatic experience she can't quite remember which killed her parents, Frannie stays inside and has become essentially a shut-in. Her parents were quite wealthy and left her a hefty trust fund which she barely touches. Her 'legal guardian' was technically her aunt Vivian but Vivian never spent much time with her niece, instead choosing to travel the world with the money which was left to her by her deceased sister and brother-in-law. Frannie lives in the mansion she grew up in with her parents. She ventures out of her home once or twice a month to pick up new books and splurge on junk food. She has groceries delivered and Skypes with friends she met online. She lives vicariously through novels, How To books, and the exploits of her online friends. She has quite a repertoire of odd talents but she wouldn't say she was particularly good at any of them. When she received the invitation to the convention she had at first been hesitant but her friends had been encouraging her to go out more so she thought this might be her chance to gain more confidence in herself.

{Relationships}
Parents~ Margaret & Michael Beaumont, Aunt~ Vivian DuPont
{Strengths}
Building models, escaping sticky situations, and spitting watermelon seeds at balloons.
{Weaknesses}
Crowds of people, talking to boys in person, and understanding pop culture references.

{Other}
Frannie doesn't understand sarcasm and will often become confused when people use it.

*Distinctive Markings:

General Style~
(view spoiler)
Emory likes her clothes to be as dark as her thoughts. She has a fascination with skulls and can often be found in dark leggings, thick boots, thin shirts, and long cardigans. She has a skinny body that lets her pull off the baggy, fashionable shirts. Her hair is usually down in a matted fashion or in a braid. She wears her eyeliner thick and wears lots of jewelry, usually bangle bracelets and long necklaces.

{Personality}
[ENFP] Extravert Intuitive Feeling Perceiving
Emory is outgoing, social, and has great people skills. She's excellent at getting people to come out of their shells and have fun, and she knows how to loosen up a bit. She's physically affectionate and loves crowds, and is known to be an attention seeker. Em is also known to be seductive and mostly open about her life, and she'll tell you just about everything she's been through if you ask. She's easily attached to things by sentiment, and can be clingy if you let her. Due to her past, she's become empathetic towards lost teenagers though not so much that she's willing to volunteer for charity work. Her ideas are creative and idealistic, so much so that you can't help but be a little enthusiastic about her crazy schemes. If Emory is interested in something, she's able to do it, whether it be painting or swimming or cosmetology. She's excited by new things, but gets bored when it comes to details. Shes also open-minded and flexible in the mind, with a broad range of interests and abilities. Emory needs to live life in accordance to inner values, which at this point need a little reconstruction. She's extremely disorganized and prone to losing things, which gives her the title irresponsible. She often acts without thinking and has also been dubbed a rule-breaker, or a rebel. Emory is easily distracted and gets uncomfortable in unfamiliar situations. She's attracted to strange things and trinkets, as well as counterculture. She's non-punctual and likes to stand out. Emory has built herself a fantasy world where things aren't as bad, and she's very gullible and is easily talked into doing stupid things. Emory is spontaneous, wild, pleasure-seeking, risk-taking, and adventurous. Her hyperactivity is considered a negative trait, along with her unconventional, impulsive, and irrational ideas. She's disliked by most parents because she's frisky and immature, but she doesn't mind because she's not the one who has to deal with them. She's extremely paranoid about things, and will sometimes twitch if it gets too extreme. She has a short temper if things don't go her way, and has the ability to ruin oneself if the opportunity arises. She has a very laid-back persona, and curses a lot because at some point she just stopped caring.



“If you look in the mirror and don't like what you see, you can find out first hand what it's like to be me."


{Basic History}

Early Years

As a toddler, Emory had it all. the airplanes, the princess spoons, the teething rings. Her family was incredibly rich, as her father worked in business and was constantly taking trips. Emory's mother placed Em in daycare because of her full-time modeling job. She was fast to develop, as she spent most of her time around other adults and older toddlers. Her first two years are a distant memory, as she wasn't around anyone considered blood relatives.

At the age of three, Emory's sister Novalie was born. Now, Em could share her daycare days with someone she could teach. Bridget, their mother, went back to modeling yet again. After about a year, Emory began to grow jealous of her sister, as her father spent more time with Nova on the days he was home. It was at this age that Emory began to rebel, knocking things over and blaming her sister, or cutting up the curtains and blaming the cat.

When Emory entered fourth grade, she weighed in at 105 pounds, almost as much as your average sixth grader. At the prep school in which she attended, she made little friends because of this. Later that year, she had been suspended for slapping a boy who had called her fat. Her braces, bob cut and bangs had left her with the title "Ugly Fatty Emory", as most childhood nicknames went.

The next year, in fifth grade, she had met the gorgeous Cornelia, whom had a name to match her illustrious beauty. They had been paired together for a "Global Awareness" project, and all throughout Emory had admired Cory's sense of creativity, despite the fact she had been called Ugly Fatty Emory every time she was needed. After the project, Cornelia had never spoken to Emory, and Emory tried next to everything to get her attention and prove she was badass enough to be in her clique. At the end of the school year, she had pulled the fire alarm and made sure everyone knew it was her. Needless to say she was out of school until the next year.

Sixth grade was another fatty disaster, when Emory discovered twinkies. She had three for lunch everyday, as she would often steal Nova's in the morning when she wasn't looking. Sixth grade was also when Emory had her first crush, on a guy named Adam in her grade. By the end of the week she knew where he lived, when his birthday was, what his mother's maiden name was, and what he dreamed about. Unfortunately he moved the next year, ironically after Emory had given him a love letter that expressed her feelings profusely.

Teen Years

Emory turned thirteen in seventh grade, and it was also the year she turned anorexic. She had moved to a different city after sixth grade, and decided to use the opportunity to her advantage. Her mother, being a model, for some reason encouraged Emory's decision to be skinny. After many failed attempts at eating right and exercising, Emory started to stop eating, disgusted in herself. She lost about half the weight she wanted to before a school counselor noticed something was up, and Emory collapsed in school and was taken to the hospital. When she returned to school, people began to give her weird looks, asking Why would she do that to herself? when those skinny bitches were the ones who caused it. Emory began visiting the counselor's office frequently, as recommended by her doctor.

That same year, she started a fist fight with one of the more popular girls because she had snickered at Emory's newfound darker style. She was suspended for the third time in her life, and when she came back it was already the end of the school year. She finished seventh grade with a C average, whatwith her being out of school and in the hospital.

When eighth grade came along, Emory had begun eating food again, but instead of waiting for it to digest for twenty minutes before resuming activity, she just coughed it up after every meal. This became known as bulimia, and was actually quite popular for eighth graders at her school. In the middle of the year, she was called out for her bad breath, and she learned to start brushing her teeth after vomiting. By the end of the year, she was skinny as a stick and kinda sorta popular. Her sister, who only hung around her friends because Emory's friends thought she was adorable, had begun to look up to Emory. Needless to say that changed when Nova entered middle school within the next two years.

Come freshman year, Emory and Novalie had to move back to their original city, and Emory had to attend the same school she was to attend if she had stayed. On her first day back, three guys asked her out, and instantly she was the most popular girl in all of the school. Her wardrobe changed, and for a while so did she. Emory became prissier, bitchier, and wilder, if that was possible. She was invited to senior parties and occasionally dances. When it was found she was Ugly Fatty Emory, no one blinked an eye.

Sophomore and Junior year were a breeze. Her grades were simply average but she was passing everything, and her popularity was at an all time high.

Senior year, things got real. People began looking for colleges and jobs, but not Emory. Senior year, her parents got divorced, and her father was diagnosed with leukemia, and she was just wallowing in her own devastation. This was when she started the drugs.

After High School

Emory began abusing substances early on, and when her father died, it only got worse. Instead of going to college, she lurked in the streets and lived off of her father's insurance policy. She fell into a dark place, not showering for days and sometimes not even eating. She would wake up next to someone she didn't recognize, do anything she could just to feel that relieving high.

After about a year or two of wearing the same dirty sweater and using the same syringe, she met someone. Another drug addict who went by the name of Derrick. After sixth months of dating, which mostly consisted of them getting high together, they got married. The week before, they decided they would quit together. On the night of their honeymoon, Derrick got high, one last time. And in the morning, he wasn't breathing. Emory found him lying next to her, dead. She loved him, and he loved drugs. A month later, she discovered she was pregnant. Early on in the pregnancy, it was discovered the baby had anencephaly, meaning it would be born with no brain. Emory couldn't deal. It took everything for her to decide she would give birth to it, and have the doctors take it's organs to save other babies. She dubbed this child her "Unicorn Baby", as when she was a child she adored unicorns because they were magical and could do great things, and that's exactly what this baby would achieve. The birth was never found by her family, and they have no idea that Emory went through this much.

Jaidyn | 19 comments After several failed interventions in the past, Emory was finally ready to make a commitment and go to rehab.

After sixth months of being clean in that retched facility, she received a letter. The fine print told her to keep it to herself, and so she locked herself in her room in order to read it. At first, she thought it was a scam. But then she realized it was also a way for her to be free of the counselors and therapists and the annoying receptionists with their long nails and ratchet weave.

She left the next week, and after a few days of complete boredom she decided "What the hell?" and packed her bags for the convention. It said it was the opportunity of a lifetime, so she guessed it was just what she needed to get her mind off of things.

Ian is kind and relatively unaffected by his cruel upbringing. He loves his sister takes care of her despite the fact that they don't live together anymore. Ian is a bit socially awkward and keeps his nose buried in a comic most of the time. He doesn't have many friends because of this. The friends he does have are more like acquaintances he hangs out with every once in a while. None of them know what kind of torment he went through growing up. He doesn't like bullies and often stands up to them, resulting in him getting creamed on more than one occasion. He is usually quiet though oddly enough hates silence and will to ramble just to fill it.

{Basic History}
Ian lived in a small house with abusive parents and a younger sister for most of his life. Often, for no reason at all his parents would lock him in a dark room for days at a time. Rather than develope a fear of dark enclosed spaces, Ian relished his time locked away. It got him away from his parents. Away from their insults and fists. His sister was usually locked in with him and he would come up with creative ways to entertain her and distract her from their rumbling stomachs. Eventually a social worker came by to investigate claims of abuse and took Ian and his sister away from their parents. He finished high school while living in a boy's home and recently has been trying to get custody of his sister. When he received the invitation he was hesitant to go but got into a fight with his sister and decided to go to blow off steam and have a good time.

{Full Name} Meadow Heenan-Delacroix
~Nickname/s~ Bird-girl, from childhood bullies

{Gender} Female
~Sexuality~ Pansexual- Whoever she is attracted to people regardless of gender or activity

{Nationalities}Russian, Ukrainian, German.

{Age} 17

Date~
December 11th
Place~ Nikolayevka, Ukraine
Time of Birth~ 11:13 pm


We all start from humble beginnings.

{Heightened Ability}Animal reading
She is able to tell the feeling and thoughts of animals, just by their basic body language and habits. She can tell what the animal is thinking by its actions based on the animal and its situation, and also knows how to display her own emotion to the animal through body language that the animal will understand, creating a crude understanding between the two. She is able to do it to almost any animal she meets, and if she has never met the animal before she usually gets the hang of communication with it by mimicking it's movements.
Downfall: She is extremely antisocial to people and can't read human emotions well, even when they are obvious

{Appearance}

(view spoiler)

*Height:5'4
*Weight:116
*Hair Colour:A honey blonde that becomes very dark brown at the roots
*Eye Colour:Grey
*Body Type:Curvy
*Distinctive Markings: Little scars all over her body, nothing serious
*Voice:Her voice still has a slight German accent in it from her father. Her tone of voice is low pitched, and that mixed with the accent makes for a intimidating voice when she is mad.

Overall Appearance
Meadow is a stout girl, standing at about five-foot four, meaning that she is used to looking up at people. She isn't the skinny type, as people her height usually are, she is curvy, with a muscular build that creates a larger bust and hipline and smaller middle, which she always covers up. Although her body type has a few downsides, there are some good things that she loves about it. She is able to build muscle much faster with her body type, and regular workouts in the forest made her very muscular in the legs and abs, even though her arms aren't strong. She wouldn't be considered a 'pretty' girl to her facial features. She has a wide face with wide set eyes, a strong jawline and prominent cheekbones that give her an odd look that might not be considered pretty to some people, mostly because it is never seen on billboards or magazines. Her hair is a platinum blonde that cascades in curls down to her waist. It grows gradually darker in the direction of the roots, where at the roots it becomes a dark brown. This is her natural hair colour, it just lightens up so easily in the sun. She usually never messes with her hair, like straightening it or dying it, but once she straightened and cut it to her shoulders, and it was a decision that she greatly regretted. Her skin is naturally extremely pale, and no matter how much time she spends in the sun, she never tans, she only gets a freckle or two. Her eyes, despite them being just a normal grey, are her most treasured feature. Her father tells her that she has her mothers eyes, and for that she loves them. Meadow, with her love for vintage things, is always wearing an old band shirt and shorts. Not exactly the most trendy things, but she loves them.


Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return

{Personality}
Meadow has a personality that you don't usually see on a person. Meadow has a ‘get up and go’ personality. She has a hard time standing still, and if she stands still for too long she starts to fidget. She isn’t too much of a talker, but she loves too listen, especially to stories, gossip or tales one has to tell. When she does open her mouth, however, she can be described as witty and sarcastic, with a very, very blunt tongue that is honest to a fault. She will tell things as they are, and doesn’t sugarcoat anything. She is very stoic about body language and her face it being unreadable, giving away no emotion or thoughts that she may have inside her head. Due to the fact that she is a boy to society she has become used to not showing emotion, but she does bottle it up inside of her, and sometimes she snaps, losing her temper, and when she does it is bad. Meadow has a white-hot temper that could compete with the sun that can involve throwing things, holding people at weapon-point, or just leaving and waiting for revenge silently. She gets anxious really easily, and can’t stand to be around too many people without feeling uncomfortable. She is able to be unseen and quiet, blending into her surroundings and being unnoticeable. She has a bad habit of not liking people she doesn’t know, and can be mean to them based on an image of them she has in her mind, even if they haven’t done anything to her. She get frustrated easily, especially to people that don’t cooperate with her, but she tends not to listen to orders as well. Sometimes she even does the opposite of what she is told to do to prove a point. She has a habit of talking down to people, even people of much higher a social status than her, and she usually is punished for that. She is proud, too proud for her own good and she refuses to admit it. She fears the things she can’t control (Like natural weather disasters), and fires, but refuses to tell anyone, fearing she would look weak to people.
She hates opening up to people, and gets anxious and shaky when talking to most people. She connects far better with animals, and will usually find an animal or two to carry with her, just to make her feel like she isn't alone. She loves night time, it is cooler and gives her an adrenaline rush and a sense of freedom. She would rather be too cold than too hot, she hates heat because it cuts her performance and makes her sluggish and slow. Despite what it may seem, Meadow is very smart. Not math smart, she hates math, but she is a great problem solver and a writer, she used to write about her experiences with animals every day. Rarely does she ever have feelings for another human being that aren't acquaintance, but she is never able to communicate with such a person without getting so nervous that she has trouble forming words. That is the only time where she can't control concealing emotions, when she has special feelings for someone. She hates it, it makes her feel girly and stupid, but she can't help it and usually she crushes on that person for a long time, and most the time they don't even know that she exists. It is easier for her to talk to certain people, just based off of first impressions and how they approach her.

This is what the water gave me

{Basic History}
On a chilly December evening a woman named Albine went into labour. Albine was a rather promiscuous woman who had no intention of having a child, Albine herself being an accident. The small town hospital in Nikolayevka didn't offer much, they didn't know what they were supposed to do when the baby came two months early. The child was born incredibly sickly, and almost died, but somehow survived. The doctors said that the child would probably struggle with health its entire life, mostly due to the fact that the reason the child was born easy was the alcohol the mother was consuming during pregnancy, it was nearly a certainty that the child was going to have problems. The mother looked down on her child, however, and felt love for it, love that she hadn't experienced during pregnancy. She looked into the child grey eyes, they were the same as her own, the colour of the sky right before s storm. Other than that, the child looked nothing like her, but also like no one she had ever seen or bedded with. Although she loved the child, she knew that it was a sick dream that she would be able to keep it. Her father, a very strict man who owned a university in one of the larger cities, would never allow something as bad as his daughter having a child out of wedlock. The situation looked hopeless until a man came in, a man that she knew very well. It was her boyfriend from a few months ago. The only man she knew was not father of her child. She was pregnant before dating him, but she told him that it was his child. He didn't believe it at first, but it was obvious that he came because he changed his mind. He was about to leave the small town when he got a sudden urge to see the child, and urge that he couldn't control. He drove over to the hospital, thinking that he was going to see the child than leave. When he walked in and sighed, seeing the girl in distress. He offered to take the child, and she would never hear of it again. She unwillingly accepted it, but first wrote a note to her child, one that she said no one was to read until the girl was twelve. With that Meadow left her mother forever, the only memory of her left is the note.
Meadow grew up in a city. Not the place for her. She couldn't talk to anyone except her father and her aunt, who had become her mother-figure for her life. Every day Meadow got worse and worse. She wasn't talking to anyone at school, and was always too afraid to go outside the apartment complex outside. She only ever went outside at night, when the streets were less busy. She found no entertainment in the television or games, all she had to do in the apartment was sleep all day. Psychologists had no idea what was wrong with her, they couldn't figure out why she was behaving so. Pills did nothing to help her, they only made her sick and tired. Meadows father, August finally made the decision to move out onto a farm, where hopefully it would bring her peace. Within six months they were moved out to an extremely rural farm surrounded by large forests. Within weeks Meadow improved emotionally. She spent her time in the forest, sometimes not coming home for days. Her father, who turned out not to be her father at all, let her do it as much as she wanted, he was busy doing his job online. Meadow was hiking one evening when she came across a pack of wolves. They growled and she did the only natural thing she knew how to, growled back. It threw the wolves off, they didn't know what she was doing or why she was doing it. She took a step toward them, challenging them. They jumped back, afraid. After that she simply left without another word. The next day she came back to the wolves, who greeted her kindly this time. She realized her gift as she sat in the middle of the pack of wolves, gingerly scratching the alpha males pelt.
Meadow was fifteen when she was walking in the woods. The pack of wolves had long left. She was about to turn around and go back home when she heard a cry and a large crash. Upon finding the scene she found a dead hawk of some kind and a small chick. The mother had obviously been killed in some kind of arial fight, and she lost. Meadow felt terrible about the baby chick, who's wing was severely injured from the fall. She looked it in the eyes as she picked it up gingerly and tucked it in the breast pocket of her jacket, hoping that her beating heart would calm the terrified chick down a little.
The chick grew, and boy did it grow. Within two weeks the first of it's rust-brown feathers started to show. She somehow made sure that it was always always quiet, she never let it cry out. She did her research and it was a ferruginous hawk, the larges of its species. She loved the bird and it seemed to love her too, there was just one problem. Her father knew nothing about it. She had kept it a secret, fearing that he would say no and she would have to send it into the wild with it's wing, which by this time was horribly disfigured. She wouldn't be able to let the poor thing go, she was going to name it soon, and once she named it she would have to have it forever.
One day, when the hawk that was now a large bird that barely fit on her shoulder, Meadow finally had to go to school. She was afraid of her father sneaking into her room and seeing it. In a last minute decision she took it to school, put it in her backpack. She had to completely empty it out first, but it would do. She quietly made her way to school.
It was mid day through the school when someone saw movement in her backpack. They confronted her and she denied everything, until one of the students opened her backpack and the large hawk came fluttering out, flapping furiously to fly with it's deformed wing. The entire class was shocked, but then broke out into fits of uncontrollable laughter. Meadow was embarrassed and upset all the same as she had to drive home early with her fuming father.
She was told by her father to let the bird go or it would be killed. Of course, Meadow refused and went to her room immediately with her bird and her new name, Ominous wind. In the middle of the night August set the bird free without Meadows knowledge, and when she woke up the next mourning and couldn't find her, she ran into the woods, only to not find the bird anywhere. She angrily went to school, trying her best to ignore all of the 'bird-girl' teases. By the end of the day she was reduced to tears as she ran into the woods. School was bad enough for her, it was so cramped and full of people that she never really learned much, she mostly just tried to stay away from them, but when they came after her she couldn't take it. She ran into the woods with the intention of staying there for the rest of her life, no matter how short it might be. It was her third day straight in the woods where she communicated with the animals, any that she could find. She knew her father and possibly the police were searching for her, but she was too deep in the woods that she knew that she would never be found. One night she was greeted by a warm flurry of feathers at her face, and knew that she had found Ominous wind again. She was a bit happier now that she was reunited with her old companion, and thought that maybe things would be better from then on.
A few weeks later Meadow got a letter addressed for her. She had been sleeping on the ground for her time in the woods, and never expected that she would be found by anyone, but she woke up and there the letter was, laying on the floor. Normally she wasn't one for events, but it made her all too curious about how the note had made its way to her and why she would be asked to such a place. She made a last minute decision to go, but sadly couldn't take her Ominous wind with her. She gave the bird one last goodbye and left to this mysterious meeting.

{Age}18
~Date/ Place/ Time of Birth~ August 4th/ NYC, NY/ 10:10pm

"The only problem with seeing too much is that it makes you insane." ~Phaedrus

{Heightened Ability} Poetic Paranoia~A form of schizophrenia that is caused by post traumatic stress disorder. Character sees words and names or short phrases floating in the air around her. This words often form a sort of prophecy, a glance into what is going on around her or in the near future. The downside to this is that she is clinically insane, and cannot tell reality from paranoid delusions. The words or visions cannot be shut off without heavy medication, and are very rarely completely accurate. This means that she often gets herself into tricky situations.



{Appearance}

(view spoiler)

*Height:5'8"
*Weight:110pounds
*Hair Colour:Dirty Blonde
*Eye Colour: Dark gray-blue
*Body type:Very slight, seems to be just skin and bones.
Distinctive Markings: Extreme severe discolored scarring on her back and shoulders from a childhood fire.



{Personality}

"Of course I'm crazy, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong."~ Robert Anton Wilson

Lucy isn't exactly your average teenager, not by a long shot. She tends to keep to herself, doesn't often confide anything in anyone. Anyone who talks to her quickly realizes that she is...well... less than sane. In other words, she's raving mad. She can't really help it, not when she sees things, that no one else sees.

"I may be crazy, but it stops me from going insane." ~Waylon Jennings

She is often found murmuring to herself. Random words, what she sees, and she often wanders off without warning given what she sees. She is spontaneous, not very social, and shy. She cannot stand being touched. Mostly because she can't tell the difference between reality and delusion, so she doesn't always see people right in front of her, nor hear people around her. People tend to think she is just ignoring them, or that she is high or drunk, but that's just Loopy Lucy for you.

{Basic History} Lucy was born in New York City in the very peak of the summer heat. The first four years of her life were normal, she lived in a happy three story duplex with her parents and brother, on the outskirts of the Bronx. Her father was a police officer, her mother an NYPD investigator. On Lucy's fourth birthday, the family had a large celebration. For her parents, it was a relief that the gang case that they had been working on weeks prior was now settled, the offender in question had been sentenced to life in jail earlier in the week. For Lucy, it meant gifts and friends and attention. When the family went to bed that night, the whole house slept soundly. It was later that night that the exterior of the house was soaked in accelerant and the house was engulfed in flames before the fire alarm could even go off. Lucy's brother, Michael came to her room and carried her out, through walls of fire, leaving them both severely burned, coming face to face with the people who had set the house alight. Their parents weren't so lucky, having been trapped on the third floor of the building, their bodies were found at the bottom of the stairs on the first floor when the fire was finally put out.

"Crazy people don't sit around wondering if they're nuts."~Jake Gyllenhaal

Lucy and Michael were taken from the scene and to the hospital, kept there for weeks as their burns were treated. Lucy was left with extreme scarring all over her back and shoulders, Michael on his arms and chest. It was soon after that Lucy began seeing things. At first it was just flashes, blurs of color, a word or two hovering around the perimeter of her vision. She confided in her brother and one of her doctors, but they just put her on medication that left her barely conscious, and often made her ill for long periods of time, so she lied and said they went away, but from that time on, the visions, or rather, the delusions only got worse.



They became words, groups of words, flashes of things, and more often than not, she would find herself slipping from reality. Now, she rarely confides in people, rarely speaks to people, more murmurs to herself, trying to make sense of the things she sees. Now she lives with her brother, who seeks help for her behind her back, but leaves Lucy unaware of just how insane she has become. She thinks it's natural to see the things she does, thinks everyone sees them. She doesn't know that she has severe schizophrenia, and is not on medication.

{Relationships}
Lucy only has one true relationship, and that is with her brother Michael, who is now 25 and still lives in the city. He is also Lucy's primary caretaker, since she has a hard time supporting herself, and has recently failed out of high school due to her lack of attention in classes. They share a high rise apartment in Manhattan, where Michael works as an interior designer with Lucy's help when she can provide it.

"The Edge, there is no honest way to explain it. The only people who know where it is are those that have gone over."~Hunter S. Thompson

~She's athletic, and can run for a long, long time
~She doesn't take anything seriously.

{Weaknesses}
~She doesn't take anything seriously.
~She's rarely lucid

~Nickname/s~ Nick or Nikki to family



{Gender}Male
~Sexuality~Heterosexual

{Nationality/ies} 3/4 Romanian (gypsy), 1/4 American

{Age} 19
~Date/ Place/ Time of Birth~November 1st/Bristol, England/ 12:00am



{Heightened Ability}

Character has the ability to put people in a trance, and thus be able to control their actions for a short period of time. He can put people under with his eyes after years of practice, meaning that if you meet his eyes, he can put you 'under his spell'. People with strong minds can break this hypnosis, but they will find themselves feeling extremely dizzy and lightheaded for a period of about an hour. However, people are extremely opposed to being put under, and he cannot always control when he puts people under. He sometimes does it without meaning to, so he believes they are in control, when he is really controlling them. If he tries to control people for longer than a half hour, he also becomes physically ill.

{Appearance}

(view spoiler)
*Height: 6'2"
*Weight: 160 pounds
*Hair Colour: Blonde
*Eye Colour:Green
*Body type:Muscular and well built.
*Distinctive Markings: A tattoo around his left wrist reading "Don't believe what you see."



{Personality} On the surface, Nick appears to be confident and a very outgoing, but appearances can be very deceiving. Nick is a quiet boy, an observant one. He takes not of everything around him, and though upon later recall, many details often slip his mind. He tends to be the one on the outskirts of the room, biding his time, waiting to see how things turn out. He can take charge though, especially when he loses control of a situation. Nick is one of those that needs to be in control of his surroundings, or else all bets are off as to what he will do. He mostly does this when someone is in danger, whether it be himself or someone around him. He is very protective, especially of young women, given he was the only brother of six younger sisters. He is most definitely your strong and silent type.




{Basic History}Nick grew up the oldest of seven and only boy in a gypsy family roaming the hills of Europe with a carnival affair. And as a gypsy, from a very young age, Nick was taught to hone a craft, his craft of choice, hypnosis. He started in the cliché way, a pocket watch, a couch, people who wanted to be hypnotized, who believed it and wouldn't fight it. Though as he got stronger, the pocket watch became obsolete, and he began to get more powerful, he could put people under with just a few words, and then, just by direct eye contact, so much so that people would be unaware of him doing it, they would just bend to his suggestion. His sisters took over the carnival after his parents settled down in retirement, He set off hitch hiking, making bets in bars with drunk men to earn his living, having learned more than a few cheap slight of hand magic tricks that eventually landed him on a ship to a conference that had somehow contacted him, even with his lack of permanent residence.



{Relationships}

~His sisters, I will group this all in as one, given they are all always together, and their relationship to Nick are basically all the same. They are the only people Nick keeps constant contact with, and the only people he would jump on a plane for at their smallest whim.

~His parents- Nick is wary about his parents, for in their eyes, he is a disappointment that he did not follow the family tradition in working for and in the carnival. Their contact is limited, and Nick only get news about them through his sisters.

{Strengths}
~Smart
~Quick Witted
~Observant
~Good with his hands
~Good liar

{Weaknesses}

(view spoiler)
{Personality}

Kind,Caring and Quite Stubborn

Kylah is very kind.Yes, most people are kind and sweet but this girl couldn't hurt a fly. Literally. Kylah is also very caring. Like overly caring. Some people may think it's a very good thing,others may think otherwise. Yes, her being so caring gets her hurt, quite a lot. Mostly because people don't care for her as she cares for them. Though that doesn't mean she'll hate you. Oh no. She could never hate anybody. It doesn't matter if you've hurt her or if your a nuisance, she'll lend a helping hand if you need it.

Just because she may be caring and kind doesn't mean she can't be stubborn or sarcastic. You won't get this girl to change her mind once it's made up. She also won't give up on you. She has a strong will, and she'll crack you open so that she can see you as your true self. Seriously. Don't even attempt to get Kylah to let you alone,because you'll just be wasting your time. She's also quite sarcastic. She can throw snarky and playful remarks right back at you if you want. Sybil has two sides to her,the one where she'll be pushing your buttons and trying to get you to cave, and the one where she's loyal and kind to the end.

Lastly, Kylah knows how to have a heck of a good time. Seriously, the girl knows how to party here and there. This doesn't mean she goes out all the time, though it also doesn't mean she's a boring square. Kylah is a mix of many things, though they just make her who she is. It may take you some time to get used to her, but soon you'll warm up to her.

{Basic History} Kylah once lived the high life. Her family had money, mostly because her mother worked as a dancer. She toured the world and did her shows. Lucky for her, they were popular. Though this meant that Kylah didn't see her very much. She missed her mother greatly as weeks turned into months. As time passed by, her mother grew less and less popular until it was as if she was never even famous. Her family soon lost their money, and her mother grew depressed.She was angry, frustrated,and sad which made her a horrible ass mom. She began to drink, to get away from her life. Her mother couldn't really grasp the thought of not being famous. She had grown accustomed to not doing anything that she was lost. Though when Kylah's mother was drunk and had gotten into a problem at a bar or club, she was the one that had to get her out of her problem because her father was always out looking for work.At least one parent was doing something right. This is where Kylah's problem solving went. She knew she had to use logic because if she didn't she'd get herself in the problem as well. Though it's not like she wasn't already in it.
As she grew, Kylah was the problem solver out of her friends. She was the mom of the group, always protecting her friends and family. Though she never turned bitter, she always had a radiant smile on her face.Did I forget to mention she also took care of her sister? Yes her father helped when he could, but it was usually just Kylah and Jeanie.

*Body type:Long and lean, well developed though, with just the right amount of curves on her.
Distinctive Markings: Nothing notable, except for the calluses on her hands from her musical training.

{Personality}


Mel has always been the type to push her limits, her endurance, mental and physical. She doesn't like being told she can't do something, and she sought to find something to excel in, and she found it at the age of six, music. She doesn't like attention though, she would rather be left alone to do as she pleases. She is also extremely scarred and doesn't want to talk about why, she flat out won't, so she doesn't even want to talk about anything.


Mel isn't a real flirty type, she has an old soul, as the expression goes. She doesn't really care about boys, not even now at her age. She is a serious girl. She focuses on the things she needs, and offers himself very little time to relax, ever. She needs something to be doing, something to occupy both her mind and her hands at the same time. Otherwise she gets antsy, starts pacing or hovering, twitches. She also has major trust issues. She rarely truly trust people, she doesn't want to be betrayed.


{Basic History}

Mel was born the daughter of a modern rock star and a classical cellist, a strange combination with a volatile relationship. Their schedules often conflicted, sometimes they were in different states, other times on different continents. So it was, that Mel grew up all by her lonesome, more often with her father's rock band than her mother's orchestra. Surprisingly enough though, when her parents asked her if she wanted to play an instrument, she said she wanted to play the violin. Her mother was proud, her father just shrugged and took her to buy one, telling her the only thing he knew about music, and the only thing he told her he would ever know.

It was also the last thing her father ever told her. Early the next morning, his band took off on a plane to England for the start of a world tour, but the band never arrived, it went down in the middle of the Atlantic during a freak storm they encountered. So Mel started traveling with her mother, her distant, cold, and hell bent on begin the ice queen, mother. Mel started listening to music, and learning slowly and painfully how to play it on her violin. When one of the violinist in the orchestra saw her struggles, he began giving her lesson, and once she had some direction, she excelled in music. She found herself there, but there were many things missing in her life.

Mel didn't have any friends, no companions on the road. She was all by herself, left to her lonesome with a company of adults. It made her very solitary, and forced her to grow up fast. So she spent time with the music, mastering first stringed instruments including the violin, the cello, the viola, the guitar, and the upright bass. Then she learn the piano and the saxophone. She would spend hours each day playing, the rest of it studying, running, working out with the orchestra's trainer that traveled with them for those members who wished to make use of him. She rarely spoke to anyone except for the members of the orchestra who had agreed to teach her various instruments. Until one summer day when she was fifteen, things changed.

A new clarinet player was brought into the orchestra, a normal occurrence, musicians came and went with the turning of the season, but for Mel, this one changed everything.  He came with a son who was seventeen, and handsome.  Sam was outgoing, smart, kind, at first they were pushed together, but then it became natural, they were both lonely souls, and Mel fell for him more quickly than she could have ever imagined.  He was quite the charmer too, he took her out on all sorts of romantic dates, bought her things, took her around to explore every city the orchestra stopped in, and he played the cello, so they would play together.  It was with him she realized what she could do with her violin.  She could make him feel happy when he was sad, could sooth him without saying a words, but she also found she could send him into uncontrollable rages.  It took a year before Mel really opened up to him, bared her soul to the boy, and ultimately told him that she was in love with him.   The day after she professed her love, Sam told her that it was over between them.  He said she was too clingy, to closed off, that he had never really felt anything more than friendship with her.  It killed Mel to know that she was used.  He had been her first date, her first kiss, she had given him things she could never get back, and he had used her.

Mel learned a lot from Sam.  Mostly about herself.  She learned that no matter how much she thought she needed someone, that she had always been better off on her own.  She left the orchestra, ran away in San Diego one night with money equal to four of her mother's paychecks and started playing in the streets with her violin case open for tips, which she got many of.  She settled down in an apartment that was little more than a loft.  Her mother never came after her, her family amused she was with her mother, no one wondered about little Melody, no one ever had.

~Doesn't trust anyone
