Realistic or Modern 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕤𝕠𝕦𝕥𝕙𝕤𝕚𝕕𝕖 𝕠𝕗 𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕔𝕒𝕘𝕠 (character page) -- shameless rp

[Winona]

Hello! Here's the character sheet page for the Southside of Chicago rp. We're still accepting, so if you're interested, feel free to send me a DM. And you don't need to have seen the show to participate in the rp!

The basis of the rp is just life in Chicago, with a focus on those living in the Southside. There will be three different neighborhoods (Southside (poor), Eastside (middle class), and Northside (upper class)) that characters will be from, and then everyone will attend the same high school located in the Eastside. Of course, your characters don't have to be high school students -- young adults, adults, and children are welcome, too!

We will have a Gallagher-like family, called the O'Reillys. Siblings are still open for this family, but closing soon.

For your character sheet, feel free to add code or make it however you like. The minimum that needs to be on the sheet is:

Full Name: Kristina O'Reily
Nickname: Kris; Krissie
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Grade: Sophomore
Neighborhood: Southside

Face Claim: Dove Cameron
Eyes Color: Hazel
Hair Color: Blonde
Height/Weight: 5'3 / 132lbs
Tattoos/Piercings: tongue & belly button & ears pierced

Likes: shoplifting | money | clothes, jewelry, shoes, etc. | tea | the beach
Dislikes: being cold | most drugs | fake flowers | braces | turtlenecks
Fears: losing her family | getting caught stealing, etc. | drowning

Personality Traits:
+fashionable
+bubbly/cheerful
+flexible
-stubborn
-proud
-impatient

Personality: As a middle child, Kris has the opportunity that not all of her siblings do: to disappear. However, she is not good at it. She doesn't want to disappear; she wants to have all eyes on her; she thrives on the attention. She's not afraid to do whatever it takes to get said attention, whether it be good or bad. The older she gets, the less she likes getting in trouble and getting grounded (who does?) so she's learning ways to bring about that attention positively. Or trying to. She's got a bubbly, talkative personality-- sometimes too much of one.

When things don't go her way or she goes without the attention she so craves for too long, she starts to get cranky. She can throw a tantrum that a toddler would be proud of: foot stomping; screaming; crying; etc. She means well, but with such a large family, it's hard to have eyes on her at all times, which is one reason she likes having younger siblings that look up to her. She's not much of a caretaker, she can't cook, and she's a tad bit on the disorganized side. But she loves trying to help others-- in her own way, of course.

History: Kristina had a pretty uneventful childhood. She endured the usual stress of a large family, tried caring for her younger siblings. As she got older, it quickly became apparent that she was not babysitter material. No one ever made it to bed on time, and they were usually hungry because Kris can't cook unless it comes out of a box, and even then, it's iffy. She talks on the phone and texts all day; taking away her phone is the cruelest form of punishment there is.

She was fifteen when she got caught with a boy after hours, in her bra and a pair of shorts, in the park. She had been smoking a little bit as well when caught by her older sibling (can change). Basically, Kris was dragged from the park and told never to see that boy again. She never found that shirt either. She still saw the boy, too, for a while until he dumped her. Never one to stay down for long, Krissie moved on.

  Age: 25
  Gender: Male
  Sexuality: Heterosexual
  Job: Handyman
  
  Personality:
  Jack is a natural leader who has no problem taking on any and all responsibilities that come his way. As the oldest sibling, he learned from an early age how to be organized and get things done. He has a ‘take no shit’ attitude. He has little patience as is, but even less for bullshit and nonsense. He isn’t the smartest guy in the world, but he has a lot of common sense and picks up things quickly. Jack doesn't show many emotions, and he doesn’t share his real thoughts with many people. He had to learn to be strong and deal with whatever came his way from an early age. Jack does his best to not let things get to him, but he has a temper and will only take so much before letting it out, and he doesn’t shy away from a fight. Most people know Jack as a serious hard ass, but the people close to him know that he is a compassionate and caring guy who loves a good laugh. He is very loyal and will do anything for anyone he considers family.

  Biography:
  Jack is the first born of the O’ Reilly family. From an early age, he was subject to the craziness, drama, and outright dysfunction that was his parents. As soon as he could walk, talk, and fend for himself, his parents stopped paying much attention to him. Initially, Jack didn’t mind being on his own and doing things for himself, he actually preferred it to dealing with his parents. Gradually over time, he began looking after his siblings. He didn’t even realize it was happening at first. With everyone of his siblings, their parents would care for them and act like good parents for a few months before slowly passing off more and more of the responsibilities off on Jack, until he was taking care of them anytime he wasn’t at school. Things got really out of hand with his family responsibilities when he was 13. That year, their mother left and their dad got put in jail. Jack actually stopped going to school to care for the youngest siblings and do side jobs to do his best to pay the bills. Unfortunately, it was too much for him to handle on his own, so he called every extended family member he could to borrow money for the bills. Once their father got out of jail, it was already too late for Jack to go back to school that year, so he waited until the next year to return, putting him back a year. From that time on, Jack always worked. He worked any job he could and tried to learn any skill he could to make money. Even with their father out of jail, Jack had to care for his siblings. Their father was a drug addict and alcoholic who spent more time out partying, than working or being at home with his kids. Jack always resented their dad for that and as soon as he was big enough, he stopped letting their dad come to the house. He figured the kids were better off without him. Jack barely finished high school because he had so much on his plate outside of school. With college never even being an option Jack saw, he just doubled down on working and taking care of his family.
  
  Extra Info:
  - Jack is a boxer on the side. He began training the year he was out of school, and started fighting when he was 15 to make some extra money. He is really good and would love to go pro, but it would interfere with his responsibilities to his family.
  
  - Jack is good with his hands and has worked any labor job you can think of. He can also build, deconstruct, or fix almost anything. The only thing he's not great with are engines and motors.

  TK Mafi

  

  Full Name: Tokoni Kaelo Mafi
  Nickname: TK
  Neighborhood: Southside
  Age: 24
  Gender: Male
  Sexuality: Heterosexual
  Job: Package Delivery Driver
  
  Personality:
  At first glance, TK doesn’t seem like a typical southsider. He is mild mannered, doesn’t do drugs or party, and he always has money. But what can’t be seen with one look, is his disregard for authority and his inclination for reckless behavior. TK doesn’t take well to being told what to do and doesn’t trust people in power. His lack of respect for authority is one of the ways that he justifies his criminal behavior. He does however, care about how he treats people, and only commits victimless crimes. He is a compassionate and empathetic guy who feels strongly for the people that he cares about. He also considers himself somewhat of a pacifist, and will only engage in a fight to defend himself. TK doesn’t trust easily and can count the number of people that he trusts in the world on one hand. He also doesn’t take criticism well and can be very defensive.

  Biography:
  TK’s mother died from complications of his birth. Because of that his father was left to raise TK on his own, and he couldn’t help but blame his son for his wife's death. At the time of his birth, TK’s family lived in the middle class part of town and while they weren’t rich, they were comfortable financially. But after the death of his mother, TK’s father needed help taking care of his newborn while he worked, so they moved in with his mother’s sister on the southside.
  
  TK was raised by his aunt. His father, unable to ever let go of his resentment from his wife’s death, didn’t really want much to do with him. While it hurt him for his father to basically ignore him, his aunt was an amazing force in his life. She was caring and loving, and she taught him how to be a good person. His aunt was the center of his world as a kid. Unfortunately, when he was 12 his world turned upside down. One day when his aunt was walking home from the grocery store, she was hit by a police car and died on impact.
  
  His aunt’s death hit TK hard and he was lost after. He spent that time alternating between anger and sadness. It didn’t help that the cop that killed his aunt was let off scot free. His father, who at that point had become an alcoholic, didn’t change his attitude for his son at all. Instead, he took on a very hands off approach to parenting, only supporting his son financially and making him go to school.
  
  Without the guidance of his aunt, TK was lost and began getting in trouble with the law. He barely made it through high school and as soon as he was eighteen, his father put him out of the house. On his own, TK didn’t know how to take care of himself, so he stayed with his best friend and began doing anything he could to make money, mostly choosing illegal ways. As soon as he was able to get his own place, he moved into the apartment next door to his friend.
  
  Extra Info:
  - TK and Jack became friends not long after his aunt's death. He considers the O" Reilly's family.
  
  - He doesn't know his extended family well, having only been around them a few times. But he did connect with his cousin online when he was 18, and they developed a close relationship even though they haven't spent much time together in person.
  
  - His job is just a front for his illegal hustles. Those hustles include stealing (but only from companies, not people), selling stolen goods, and selling drugs whenever he gets a good hook up on some. He is the guy in the neighborhood that people go to if they need something, cause he either has it or can get it.

  Personality:
  Malia is smart, but stubborn. She thinks she knows it all, but not in a smug way. She is also very determined, and once she sets her mind to something, nothing can stop her from achieving it. She thrives under pressure and loves a good challenge. She will also go out of her way to prove people wrong, which sometimes gets her in trouble. Malia is extremely comfortable in her own skin and carries herself with confidence. She is outgoing and social, a natural conversationalist. She values truth and honesty and can also be very blunt at times, especially when she drinks.

She was taught to never throw the first punch, but once a fight is started with her, she has no problem finishing it.

  Face Claim: Veronique
  Eye Color: Brown
  Hair Color: Brown
  Height: 5' 7
  Weight: 145
  
  Biography:
  Malia was born and raised in Los Angeles. The apartments where she lived with her parents also housed a large number of her extended family, with many other family members living close by in the neighborhood. Her family has a long history of gang involvement, and growing up she watched her father, uncles, and cousins go in and out of jail, even losing some family members along the way. But it was all normal for her, and she always knew that she wanted to follow in their footsteps, much to her mother’s dismay.
  
  When Malia was 13, her father was sent to prison with a life sentence, leaving her mother to raise her on her own. And while she was loving, her mother was a strict disciplinarian who always tried to steer Malia away from gang life.She instead tried to get her daughter interested in other things. And while Malia did find interest in music, rapping in particular, her intent to join the gang never wavered. She spent her high school years hanging out with the neighborhood kids, most of which were either in a gang or planned to be, and making music. Out of respect for her mom, she stayed out of trouble as much as she could and really just put her focus on music. Malia is smart and always got good grades, so graduating high school was easy for her.
  
  Once she was eighteen and graduated high school, Malia finally joined the gang. Her mother immediately threw her out of the house and Malia went to stay with her cousins. Malia took great pride in being in the gang and didn’t flinch when it came to any of the illegal activities, she saw it as just being a part of the job. There were perks to being in the gang though, she was never broke and always had people that had her back. After joining the gang, music became less and less a priority for Malia, until she eventually stopped rapping all together.
  
  Things turned sour for Malia one night randomly at a fast food restaurant. Some members of a rival gang were there and they started taunting and causing problems for Malia and her crew. One thing led to another and a shootout popped off. It ended with one of her cousins dying in her arms and her being arrested for gun possession. She got 18 months in jail.
  
  After getting out of jail Malia went to visit her father and much to her surprise, he begged her to leave the gang, telling her that he didn’t want her to end up like him. She already knew her mother felt the same way, and this time she cared about what her mother thought because it matched her fathers thoughts. Not long after visiting her father, Malia reached out to her cousin TK who lived in Chicago and asked if she could come stay with him. He didn’t hesitate in saying yes, and she packed her car the same day. Malia has just arrived in Chicago and has no idea what to think of the southside where her cousin lives.
  
  Extra Info:
  - Malia's father taught her to box when she was little because she was a small kid and go picked on a lot. After learning to fight and warding off her bullies, she started to pick fights just for fun.
  
  -Malia loves music and is a good rapper. She hasn't made any music in a few years and hopes to get back to it now that she has moved.
  
  -She is not totally set on staying in Chicago. She wants to be home, but knows that if she stays, she will end up in jail or worse. But if Chicago is bad enough, she may head back home.

  Height: 6' 2
  Weight: 173
  
  Biography:
  Jeremy was born into a family of old money and high prestige. From birth he was treated as a prince, like all of the men in his family. He was raised by a nanny, barely seeing his parents who kept themselves busy away from their home. He grew up not wanting for anything, able to do whatever he wanted, and with little to no discipline. The only time he would get in trouble with his parents, was if he did anything that made the family look bad. The Parkers are held in high regard in their high society circles and their image is very important to them.
  
  For the elementary school, Jeremy was sent to a private school, but when it came time to start middle school, he persuaded his parents to let him go to public school. His entitled attitude made his transition to public school difficult, he got into trouble with his teachers a lot. Nut once they realized that his parents didn’t care how their son was in school, the school staff stopped disciplining him. When he entered high school, Jeremy started playing sports which he was really good at. He is a natural athlete and that became his focus. He was never a great student, but in high school he stopped trying all together, instead paying other kids to do his work.
  
  After high school, Jeremy didn’t want to go to college so he decided to travel for over a year. Only recently has he returned home. His father had enough of his traveling and called his son home to start learning the family business.

  Leo Walker

  

  Full Name: Leandro Walker
  Nickname: Leo
  Neighborhood: Eastside
  Age: 20
  Gender: Male
  Sexuality: Heterosexual
  Job: Manages a Laundromat
  
  Personality:
  Leo is a quiet guy who rarely says much. That coupled with his stoic look makes it hard to know what he is thinking and many perceive him as unapproachable and intimidating. And he prefers it that way, allowing him to keep from opening himself up. Even though he doesn’t speak often or share his thoughts, it doesn't mean he doesn’t have opinions, beliefs, and thoughts about things, he would just rather keep those things to himself. He is a go with the flow kind of guy, as long as it’s not something that he firmly is against, finding that the easiest way to avoid unnecessary conflict and not draw attention to himself. He has no problem standing up for himself, he is no push over. While he is not easily offended, he cannot stand disrespect and doesn’t take criticism well.
  
  There is another side to Leo though that very few people get to see. He is very understanding, compassionate, and empathetic. His lack of communication usually hides those traits. He doesn’t trust easily, but once someone has earned his trust, he is very loyal and would do anything for them. While he portrays confidence, he is actually very self conscious. He is also uncomfortable in his skin, and he has a hard time accepting parts of himself. His problems with his inner self are a large part of why he is so quiet and guarded.
  

  
  

  Face Claim: Nathan Maillard
  Eye Color: Brown
  Hair Color: Black
  Height: 5' 9
  Weight: 165
  
  Biography:
  Leo was born in Columbia. He had a very rough childhood there, one that he doesn’t share the details of with anyone. But it was all put behind him when he was 5 and adopted by an American couple, the Walkers. The transition to his new life in the US was difficult for Leo. At home, he had a hard time trusting and connecting with his new parents. And at school, his lack of English kept him from making friends.
  
  When he entered the eighth grade everything changed for Leo. He had a major growth spurt and found his natural talent in physical activities, sports to be specific. That coupled with his now strong English, he was launched from quiet loner to popular kid almost overnight. And while Leo wasn’t a big fan of the newfound attention he was getting, he liked having friends to hang out with.
  
  Sports became a large part of Leo’s life. They were an outlet for him to get out his emotional and mental conflict, and he enjoyed competing. He joined every sport he could in high school. That became his primary focus. Academically, he only did what he had to in order to keep his grades high enough to be an eligible athlete. Personally, he only hung out with his teammates when they really pushed it and he wasn’t a huge fan of parties. He didn’t really date either, his reason being that he was too busy and focused on training.
  
  Leo was offered a full ride scholarship by many different universities, for multiple sports. He decided to take one for wrestling that took him to school in California. His first few months at school went great. Leo loved the level of competition he was seeing in the wrestling room and he got along with his coaches and teammates. But all of that was ruined one night when he finally gave in and went to a fraternity party with his rommate. That was where the incident happened. An incident so big that it not only got him kicked out of school and ruined his athletic opportunities, but he also had to do 6 months in jail in California.
  
  Upon his release from jail, Leo returned home a different guy. He no longer had his athletic career to look forward to, he was angry with himself for ruining his future, and he struggled even more with his self identity. He started hanging out with some of his old high school friends and started partying with them, getting high and drunk almost every night. Those things replacing training as his new outlet.
  
  Extra Info:
  - The Walkers own a pair of laundromats on the Southside.
  
  -Since returning home, Leo has been managing one of the laundromats.
  
  - While Leo doesn't consider himself religous, the Walkers (including Leo) attend church every Sunday.
  
  -More to come on "the incident" later...

  Job: Police Officer
  
  Personality:
  Dominic is a very intense guy. He takes himself and everything he does very seriously. He believes in respect above all things. He is pretty quiet nowadays, spending a lot of time in his thoughts. His personality now is very different than before his father died. In high school, Dom was a fun loving and easy going guy. He almost alway wore a smile and was everyone's friend. He was caring and wore his heart on his sleeve. While he is still that guy, those characteristics are now hidden under years of resentment and pain. Everyone grieves in their own way right?!

  
  

  Face Claim: Chase Mattson
  Eye Color: Green
  Hair Color: Brown
  Height: 6' 2
  Weight: 180
  
  Biography:
  Dominic was born into your normal middle class family. His father, a second generation police officer and his mother, a loving homemaker. He also had a large extended family. His childhood was a normal one, he was an average student, he played little league, and hung out with the neighborhood kids. And while his parents weren’t rich by any means, he never wanted for anything and they never stressed about bills.
  
  In high school, Dom was on track to have a typical high school experience, that was until his whole world changed. One day during his junior year, when he and his mother were eating dinner waiting for his father to come home from work, there was a knock on the door. It was his father's lieutenant. As the man spoke, Dominic suddenly lost his sense of hearing as his mother fell crying into his arms. His father had been shot and killed during a routine traffic stop on the Southside. And just like that, Dom was different.
  
  He spent the next month and a half at home caring for his mother, who couldn’t bring herself to get out of bed. When Dom did return to school, everyone treated him differently and he couldn’t stand the pity, while at the same time he just wanted to be left alone. He stopped playing baseball, hanging out with his friends, and broke up with his girlfriend. He stopped caring about anything but his family. He spent his free time at home with his mom or visiting his other family members.
  
  After graduation, Dominic decided against college, choosing instead to work at his uncle's grocery store. While he was content just existing, his family was constantly trying to get him out of his funk and encourage him to live life to his potential. Dom ignored their attempts and had no plan to change until he ran into his father’s old partner. He hadn’t seen the man since his fathers funeral, but the man invited Dom for coffee and he obliged. That cup of coffee changed Dom’s life and not only gave him a fire for life, but also set him on a new path.
  
  Dominic signed up to join the police academy the next day. He went through the academy no problem and then took the necessary classes at the community college the next couple semesters. When he was sworn in as a police officer, it was the happiest day of his life. Not only was he following in his father’s footsteps, he was also looking forward to cleaning up the city...starting with the southside.

Grade: n/a
Job: Mechanic
Neighborhood: Southside

Face Claim: Chris Zylka
Eyes Color: Hazel
Hair Color: Blonde
Height/Weight: 6'0 / 197lbs

Likes: working on cars | sushi | his family | women | hoodies
Dislikes: most social media | reality tv | not being able to fix something | losing | being told what to do
Fears: not being able to provide | losing the ability to work with his hands

Personality Traits:
+ passionate
+ hard-working
+ intelligent
- hot headed
- temperamental
- cold

History: As one of the older O'Reily kids, Ryan ended up with alot on his shoulders as the kids just kept coming. Things were never easy on the southside, but the O'Reily family managed. Ryan wasn't the smartest person in his class, but ever since he was young, he figured out how to work with his hands and fix things. His temper got him into trouble alot, but thankfully he had his family to back him up (or slap some sense into him if he needed it). He was decent with the ladies, thankfully never ended up a dad though because he was smart about that. He does tend to go for the crazy ones though.

He ended up dropping out of high school to get a job to help make money for the family. He lied about his age and got a job at a mechanics shop, the same place he works at now. He spends his time usually there or at home, though he does like to go out when possible and spend time with his friends. He's got a bit of a chip on his back about providing for the family, and would protect any of them in any way that he could.

  【sexuality】— Homosexual
  【neighborhood】— Eastside
  【occupation】— Barista at Mugshot Cafe

  
  ❝ background. ❞
  

  
  Phoebe Faraday was born into a rather small family, the youngest child of the household in Southside, only two years old when they moved. As a result, she was spoiled a bit more than her older sibling. She developed more slowly than her older brother, Finnegan. However, that never stopped her from getting into trouble. She quickly became a problem child of the family from the moment she could walk, always getting into things she shouldn’t. She’d climb wherever she could, at one point getting stuck in the laundry hamper. Sticky situations practically called her name for most of her life, most of which her older brother Finnegan would get her out of. Whether it was by his own choice or their parents’ prompting, she honestly had no clue.
  
  As she grew, so did her problems. While she got better at school and was barely above average once she reached high school, she was definitely out of her parents’ control. She’d sneak out frequently, starting in middle school, going wherever she pleased. She definitely favored going to the Southside, since her family avoided it so much. She either never really understood why or didn’t care. Ever since middle school, she has frequented the area. She’d wander there a lot without telling anyone, easily bored at home in the Eastside. Every time she’d come home, she’d end up grounded and getting privileges taken away. After a while, she noticed her older brother started showing up there as well and couldn’t help but find that entertaining; he probably hated the Southside more than either of their parents.
  
  Despite her family’s protests about her visits to the Southside, she continued even after high school. Now at nineteen, she still does so and works at a small coffee shop called the Mugshot Cafe. Her family was against it, wanting her to get a more “stable” job at some company, but honestly she couldn’t stand cubicles and decided to work at the cafe until she could figure out what to do with her life.

  【age】— 20
  【sexuality】— Bisexual
  【neighborhood】— Southside
  【occupation】— Caretaker at the organic greenhouse Organic Organisms

  
  ❝ background. ❞
  

  
  Samuel Quinn Sharp was born to a farming family in Wisconsin through artificial insemination, due to his father being infertile.
  
  His parents, having already spent years to save up just to have him, couldn’t have anymore and so decided to start fostering children.
  
  Samuel grew up with a fluctuating number of foster siblings, usually around 8 or so.
  
  Growing up, Samuel did his best to accommodate his new siblings, sometimes trying too hard.
  
  After some time passed, his family fostered two boys who Samuel grew very attached to and was very passionate about teaching. Though, time flew and he didn’t see them again after that.
  
  He had a fairly uneventful life aside from a few farm-related injuries. He nearly died once when he was bucked off a spooked horse and hit his head on a fence, but he survived thankfully. He still has a scar on the back of his head from that injury, though since it wasn't his only time nearly dying from something he thought was harmless at first, he learned to be much more cautious.
  
  
  He moved to the Southside only recently after coming across an ad for someone looking for a new bandmate. He loved music, singing especially, so he responded after securing a job and discussing it with his family.

  • He's not one for conflict, and doesn't like to "stir the pot."

Full Name: Alexandra Marie Foster
Nickname: Allie [do not use. she prefers to be called by her full name]
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bicurious
Grade: Junior
Neighborhood: Northside

Face Claim: Leighton Meester
Eyes Color: Brown
Hair Color: Brown
Height/Weight: 5'7 / 132lbs
Tattoos/Piercings: This butterfly; left shoulder

Likes: shopping | her father | bangles | expensive restaurants | running
Dislikes: being told no | losing | getting dirty | most pets | small, cramped cars
Fears: losing her social status & money

Personality: Spoiled and selfish are two words people use to describe Alexandra, and they're telling the truth. She's used to being put first, and putting herself first. A bit reckless at times, she's always prepared to lay down her father's name and her own privilege to ensure she doesn't get in trouble. She loves to party and have fun, sometimes a bit more than is called for. She hates sharing, and doesn't get along with others well sometimes. She can be sweet... sometimes. Usually when she wants something.

History: Alexandra was born and raised on the Northside of town, and to say she's led a privileged lifestyle wouldn't be a lie. Being an only child, she was the light of her parents life, and the apple of their eye. She had everything she ever needed or wanted, and never had to worry about a thing. Everything seemed to come easy to her-- friends, social status, even school. Now she wasn't the smartest around, but having your own private tutors helped tons.

Then the accident happened. She was still young when she lost her mother, and it became just her and her father. Adjusting to life without her mom was hard, but eventually, she managed. Sort of. Basically, she got comfortable in her life with her father, even if he was absent alot due to work. That was just how things were for years. But then he met her, and brought them into their perfect picture. Alexandra isn't used to sharing anything, much less her fathers attention.

Face Claim: Stephen James
Eyes Color: Brown
Hair Color: Brown
Height/Weight: 6'0 / 225lbs
Tattoos/Piercings: Yes

Likes: money | women | playing pool | whiskey | fast cars
Dislikes: losing | pointless fighting | texting, mostly | betrayal | fish
Fears: losing his spot as leader | being killed/death

Personality: He's pretty similar to his best friend Ryan, especially when they're together. Despite being a gang leader, he does like to laugh and have a good time, but only when hes around people he knows and trusts. Otherwise he can come off cold and unforgiving-- which he is. He's a smooth talker, especially when he knows you have something he wants.

History: Carter was born and raised in the Southside. His parents weren't worth a damn, so his uncle took him in. He wasn't much better, being the leader of one of the gangs running around the neighborhoods. Carter learned how to sit back and observe from a young age, and began running drugs a short time later. It wasn't long really before he was selling himself, most of the money he made going back to his uncle.

The man was killed when Carter was a teenager, and Carter was almost forced to take over. But someone else stepped in, claiming Carter was too young. Carter challenged him, and ended up as leader at seventeen. Ever since then he's worked his way up in peoples eyes, earning the respect he has now at 22.

[Nightblade]

Name: Alyssa Redfield
Age: 21
Gender Female
Grade: 3rd year college degree
Job: None
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Neighborhood: Upper Class
Face Claim: Dianna Agron
Description:
Personality:

Alyssa is a shy quiet type. Soft spoken she tends to be a follower rather than a leader. Unlike her older siblings, Alyssa tended to fade into the background. A Daddys girl in most senses, she does not fit the mould in that she is not vain or vapid. Her parents used to joke that she was the easiest of the three children to raise. She hates upsetting people or rocking the boat so she tries to do whats right and be there when needed. The problem is that this means people will assume she will go along with their ideas and plans. She has a hidden back bone that rarely surfaces but when it does, its scary to see.

Backstory:
Alyssa grew up as the youngest of 3 children to Eric and Tayna Redfield. With her older brother Christopher primed to take over their fathers business and her older sister Alexia married off to some Tycoons son, Alyssia was left to forge her own path in what she wanted to do with her life. a smart child, her parents gave into the whims she had in terms of learning and what she wanted to do. She was quietly popular in that she was popular for being nice. She grew up sheltered, dating but gaining a reputation for being "Pure" in that she never slept with her boyfriend.

Apparently that was not enough and her popular boyfriend had decided to warm another girls bed in their first year of college. Upset, she had hidden herself away finding herself in some diner in the poorer part of town. That would be the night she met him, a pure gent he made sure she was ok and spent the evening sitting with her as she vented. It was at the end of the night that she kissed his cheek and gave him her number as he had been such a friend. An unlikely friendship began to build and naturally romance followed.

Over the next 2 years the romance built slowly, naturally it was not smooth. Him being stubborn in that she deserved a rich guy to give her the life she wanted, and Her saying she had all she needed with him. Life seemed good, until she told her parents. The reaction they gave was not great (to put it mildly). After days of arguments, tears and upsets it all came to an end when her parents tried to forbid her from seeing him. It was then she heard they planned to marry her to some Business mans son for her fathers business dealings. It was then she dropped the bombshell she held onto, She was pregnant.

In a fit of anger her father gave her an hour to get out of the house and never come back. Packing her things with her siblings help, she left her family home picking up her mobile phone she gave him a call and said she needed to talk....

[Bloodshed]

Name: Richard Marshmann
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Grade: 12th (Senior)
Job: Internship at a Corporation on the Northside, Criminal
Sexuality: Not Openly Revealed
Neighborhood: Northside, Upper Class
Face Claim:

Description:

• Personality: There's no real persona here because he is simply a mix of two fake ideas of people. Richard has always had something to prove. He doesn't want to be himself. He wants to be something different. He wants to be a Southsider, a member of the lower-class. Richard acts like this brutal thug on the outside, ruthless, seemingly able to do whatever he needs to to get what he wants. He walks with a swagger in his step. There's no class to his words, and he is as foul as they come in language as in spirit. To most people who meet him, he gives off the vibe of some kid raised in poverty. He'll steal, trash people's homes without remorse, and generally wreak havoc in the community. None of that is Richard though. He is this sweet, kind, and caring kid on the inside who wants to belong to a community. There's intelligence hidden behind the poorly presented surface, an ability to speak like a poet, and the tact of the richest people on the Northside. Still, he never felt at home on the Northside, but pretending to be someone he isn't has cut him off from this Southside community too. The boy doesn't belong to the North nor does he belong to the South. He's someone without a home, empty as he shambles as a corpse through life. He parties, but it's never alive. He drinks, but he's never drunk. He smokes, but he's never high. He's a boy that can't figure out how to belong to the world and be a man.
• Background: Richard comes from the cream of the crop: the owners of a non-profit on the Northside with wealth beyond the wildest dreams of electric sheep. His childhood was uneventful really except for parental neglect. They never cared for Richard. They made sure he did enough to not sully the family name, but they showed him no affection at all. He was isolated at home. To impress them, he became a strong student. They still didn't care when he came home with the straight-As or the admissions letters. Why the hell would that matter? It was a clean childhood from the outside, but a loss of community from the inside. There's not much to it; he lived this life until, at age 12, he saw a younger man in a market who held up a store in front of his parents. The way that the man walked with ruthless abandon and complete control of his own destiny mesmerized the young boy. He wasn't controlled by how others thought of him. The ideal figure of a man had been discovered, and it was a criminal. After the store was robbed, he sprinted away from his parents and began to follow the criminal home on foot. He followed him to a house in the Southside. From a distance, he watched as the man was greeted home as a hero to his family. They cared. They had so much less than him but so much more. They had each other, something Richard had never known. Richard decided that he now belonged to the Southside. Since that day, he began hanging around delinquents, committing crimes, and doing everything he could to fit in with that crowd. He's still trying to prove himself to be one of them. He attends their parties, dates their girls, and lives their lifestyle. His popularity in the Southside has grown and most don't even suspect he's from the Northside; that's especially true because he'd never admit his true livelihood.

My Basic Info

Name: Nathan O'Reilly

Nickname: Nate

Age: 18

Sexuality: Homosexual (Closeted)

Face Claim: Mikolas Josef

Personality

Nate grew up as part of the crowd in the O'Reilly family. blending into the background. Content with his lot in life, Nathan thought no more of it and was a happy enough kid growing up. Until he began growing into his teens. To hide the perceived weakness among his friends and family at the time he became more angry and aggressive towards the world. The happy go lucky Nathan became a problem child.

Not reacting well to his brothers coming out as Bi-sexual only alienating him further from his family as he was torn between anger and envy. Despite this, Nathan is still somewhat loyal to his family backing up the younger siblings when needed. A master deflector, Nate knew how to re-direct attention when needed, which became more common with the increased trouble he brought to the door at home.

My History

Nathan grew up as the 3rd oldest in the O'Reilly siblings. From a young age Nate was described as a polite,quiet child which was a change from his older brother Ryan. toddling along behind Jack and Ryan like their shadow, he was given the playful nickname of shadow. Going into school, Nate was a popular kid because of the natural charm and confidence he exuded. Between school and doing odd jobs around the neighbourhood, Nates younger years were happy despite how they lived.

Growing into his teens, Nathan noticed how the other guys in school and even his older brothers seemed to pay attention to girls which did nothing for him. It was boys he was noticing instead of girls, and he began to hate himself for being 'different'. This started bringing about a slow but noticeable change in Nathan. He became less of a popular kid and more of a kid to avoid, prone to bursts of temper he began losing friends as he hated himself and others for what he had perceived as something wrong with him.

This began a downward spiral of starting fights both in and out of school for the smallest imagined insult, shoplifting and ditching school to go drinking. His friend group changed to just 2 girls, and like 3 pieces of a simple but somewhat messed up puzzle they just clicked. More often than not he would be escorted home by cops after being caught shoplifting. In Nathans mind, anything he did to seem like a proper hard guy would surely hide his sexuality right?. His life would be over if it ever got out, the area they grew up was not one where anything different was really looked on kindly by certain people.

When his younger brother came out as Bi-sexual to little fanfare, it made Nathan jealous since Kai could still like girls so that was fine. This made Nathan act up a bit more aggressively, going from chilled out to pissed in little to no time. Condescending and acting like an ass to most people, Nathan has started hanging around with the wrong people with his best friends Krista and Jade worried about the path he was going down. But maybe its a case of too little too late to do anything.

History: Josie actually comes from a small, middle class town in the middle of Tennessee, where she lived with her family up until she was about eighteen. Being the preachers daughter put alot of pressure on her, especially considering she was an only child. Growing up, she went to church every sunday, and even sang in the choir in her teenage years. She had eyes on her at all times, but for the most part, she was a pretty good kid. She met Victor when she was fifteen, and he had just turned eighteen. He was the residential bad boy, always getting into trouble, but something about his carefree ways excited Josie.

When she turned eighteen, they ran away together. She left a note for her parents, and she and Victor had about a year of bliss before things turned dark. He grew possessive and dangerous, isolating her from her friends until she literally had no one but him. And then the abuse started, and she grew even more fearful to leave. When she found out she was pregnant, however, things changed and she fled. Unfortunately all of the stress of running caused her to miscarry. That was about a year ago. She found someone looking for a roommate in a nice place in the Northside, and moved in.

  zeke is an average teen in a lot of ways. he's always chasing after a girl or three, likes to party, and he can be a little too cocky at times. when zeke is close to someone he can sometimes become over protective of them. he will do anything to protect the people he loves even if it means beating the hell out of someone for fucking with them. he is very street-smart because he has to be and has a hustler mentality. on the other hand though, he can sometimes be a little reckless especially when distracted or under the influence of alcohol/drugs. even though part of him wants to find someone he can be with, he also feels like he's way too young to settle down so he will bolt at the first sign of a serious committment to a girl as he has done many times. despite that, he has a sometimes goofy and outgoing nature that causes people to gravitate towards him or so he likes to think.

  background

  
  

  zeke is a southside through and through. he was born and raised on the southside of chicago to a pair of loving parents who always taught him the importance of hard work. his mother was a middle school teacher and his father a construction worker. they managed to put food on the table and give him a pretty stable environment. all in all, regardless of the area he lived in, his life was relatively decent and it remained that way up until he was about fifteen.
  
  his mother had been on her way home from work when another car slammed into her own. she was gone before the ambulance ever arrive, not like they ever rushed to the aid of southsiders anyway. the driver of the other car made it out without a scratch. he was a younger man, maybe in his early twenties who had been too busy paying attention to his phone. it was a hit and run so zeke didn't even find this information out until much later though. it was hard on him but harder on his father who started to spiral in the midst of his grief. missing work, drinking more, and spending his money on gambling rather than the bills.
  
  that's when zeke got a job at some fast-food place to help around the house. it wasn't nearly enough but it was something. too bad his father's drinking use caught up with him and just a little under two years after his mother's death, his father followed. since he was only seventeen the state attempted to put him into foster care which he ran away from. he dodged them and started to couch surf at friend's houses, selling drugs to make it as he did.
  
  just a couple months before zeke's 18th birthday he was initiated into a local gang that he'd been running drugs for. it was there that he felt a sense of family and like he actually belonged somewhere again. with their help, and his own hustling mindset, he managed to get his own apartment in the southside. although he's a part of the gang he still has to prove himself in many ways, especially to the gang's leader. it's only been six months after all and respect is earned, right?

  it's hard to pin down who exactly kat is because she all over the place, a textbook gemini if you will. her personality can go from sweet and fun to bitchy and aggressive if provoked...or drunk. she is too proud to ask for help unless it's from certain people and even then it can be hard for her to do. she can also be quite jealous, a bit indecisive and often sends mixed signals when it comes to potential partners. this all makes her really hard to date which is fine because if you ask her, that only leads to pain and betrayal. katherine is a very confident person or at least she makes sure that it seems that way to those around her. her attitude can sometimes be too much and has gotten in her fair share of fights. she isn't afraid to get down and dirty if need be, especially for those she cared about. on top of all of this she also isn't one to typically censor her thoughts which can come off as both a good or bad trait depending who you ask. overall, kat can be a great friend, open-minded and even sweet but she is also loud, reckless and stubborn. she'd like a box of valentines chocolates without the little paper guide on what is what. you never really know what side of her you'll get.

  background

  
  

  katherine davis was born on a hot june day to a young couple. as a child she believed they were a happy little family but around age thirteen she quickly got a slap in the face that she was far from prepared for. her father had been having an affair for years and finally decided he was going to leave them behind for the other woman. so he did. he took off and from what she heard, many years later, he started a family with the witch.
  
  a couple of years after her father left they lost the house. her mother had tried her hardest, juggling multiple jobs to try and keep up with the bills but it wasn't enough. they ended up living in a homeless shelter for a few months before finally moving into the apartment building near the o'reilly residence. around the same time, kat met an older guy named jacob. she was fifteen and he was two years older so the fact that he was interested in her alone had her hooked.
  
  he took her shopping, bought her booze and drugs, whatever she wanted. she had never had anyone spend money on her and it was flattering, to say the least. she never questioned where he got his money or why he'd chosen her, she didn't want to. about six months into the relationship his true colors started to show. he became even more controlling than he had been before, telling her what she couldn't wear and who she couldn't talk to. this eventually escalated to the physical abuse though and she felt trapped, remaining with him another six months.
  
  one day during another one of his beatings a friend of hers, ryan o'reilly, had been in the apartment and heard the noise. anyone else might've walked away but he knew it was kat's apartment and broke the door down to help her. kat credits him with helping her get out of the toxic union that day. without his help, she probably would've continued on with jacob even longer and endure who knows what else.
  
  in the year that followed, kat spiraled a little. partying and doing/selling whatever drugs she could get her hands on. she didn't care about any consequences and her actions landed her in juvie a few times before the age of eighteen. once for assault, another for public intoxication and twice for possession. her mother hadn't been blind to her actions. she'd been dating some hotshot from the northside who managed to get kat out everytime she ended up in the slammer.
  
  a year into them dating her mother announced they were getting married. kat tried to protest the union but it was no use, her mother uprooted her from the southside to the northside. the first year was the worst, her mother banning her from the southside and forcing her to attend all the fancy shit northsiders did. she even had to spend a very shitty eighteenth birthday with them. the only decent part was she'd met a guy who she had some fun with. unfortunately, at the first sign of seriousness she'd shut that down too.

  addison was brought up in a world where everything was handed to her but the mentality never stuck. she always felt that money and material items were better enjoyed when earned and didn't really like the idea of stepping on others to get what she wanted. this made her stand out on the northside and as a result she made more friends amonst the eastside and southside kids. she has an open mind and heart for most anyone and it usually takes a lot to get on her bad side. she's super ambitious, even competitive sometimes and is dtermined on making something of herself rather than living soley off her parents. that doesn't mean she is a complete stick in the mud or boring however. she likes to party and is actually more adventurous than one would think. she enjoys trying new things and going out often. addison can be kinda stubborn. whether it's an idea she has or a person she feels a certain way about, it can be hard to sway her once she has her mind made up.

  background

  
  

  addison was born an only child to laura and mike winters. bother her parents are pretty well-known. her mother a socilate among the northsiders and her father a pretty successful lawyer. growing up she had all the oppurtunies she could think of. piano lessons, the best clothes, food and so on. her parents were contantly spoiling her and by all accounts she was set up to be another entitled brat. fortunately for her, she didn't share the mindset of most of her peers.
  
  her so-called perfect family was all a show. none of it was real and she knew that from a very young age. of course, this was mainly because at home her parents didn't bother to hide it. her father was corrupt and her mother was well if she wasn't taking some sort of pills then she was drinking. they constantly argued and worse they were always putting addison in the middle of it.
  
  when adi turned eighteen she moved out, buying a house with the money in her trust fund. when her parents found out it was on the eastside rather than the northside they froze the rest of her assests. the warned her that they would only release her inheritance back to her if she dropped he "trashy" friends and moved back but she refused.
  
  luckily her house is safe but without her trust fund she still had to find a way to pay the bills. so she used her passion for doing hair to work in a local hair salon. she rents a chair there and it's enough to keep up with everything she has. when she needs more she just sells the expensive clothes and shoes she took when she moved out. anything to stay out of her parent's grip.

  there are many ways to describe valerie but nice would not be one of them. her thirst for revenge fuels the idea that she is quite the bitch and it's the absolute truth. val can be super bossy and if she doesn't like something you will know. she's never been one to bite her tongue after all. she does have softer traits but you won't see them unless she wants you to and only few have been graced with that privilege. valerie isn't one to hide the fact that she feels like she is better than most, often flauting this fact and throwing insults at others especially southsiders. although she can be fiercely loyal to those who show her the same respect, she has no problem with cutting ties and/or hurting those who she feels betray her. she will go to whatever lengths to do so without second thought and she's rarely apologetic for her actions/words. you'd be better off with her as a friend than a foe but the choice is yours.

  background

  
  

  valerie comes from the most upscale parts of the northside. she has lived in a huge gated neighborhood her whole life and has never had to work a day in her life. her father runs a modeling agency and manages an array of models but it's mostly a cover for his elite escort service. he's always been a shady businessman but it keeps their lifestyle up and so valerie doesn't breathe a word of it to her mother or anyone else for that matter.
  
  val has been spoiled since the day she was born and she has loved every minute of it. she can get whatever she wants with just a simple look and she likes it that way. in high school, she was prom queen, head cheerleader and basically anything else you can think of. coming in second best to anyone wasn't her style and she did anything to make sure it never happened. she was dubbed a mean girl back then but then again, not much has changed.
  
  about a year ago she was snooping around and found out her father had an affair sometime after she was born which resulted in a son. she kept this information to herself mostly for her own reputation. it could do a lot of social damage if everyone knew her father knocked up some southside chick.

  the biggest thing about jax is his loyalty, which he prides himself on. he is the type to go down for a crime he didn't commit if it means saving a friend. when you're his friend then he will most likely cover for you in anyway possible and do anything for you. he's pretty laid-back but that doesn't mean is is a bore. he can actually be quite reckless especially with his friends which mainly stems from his go-with-the-flow attitude. he doesn't back down from a dare and doesn't say no to a challenge, most days. jax is also pretty straight-forward, never meaning to be an asshole but sometimes coming off that way for the way he blurts out whatever is on his mind. although he has climbed in bed with a couple girls he doesn't pride himself on being a man-whore so doesn't sleep with anything that walks. he will flirt and have the occasional makeout session but he doesn't go too far. it's just not his style. he also isn't easily angered, usually only losing his temper when heavily under the influence. which is why he smokes more than he drinks. in all honesty though, he is just a chill guy who likes to have fun.

  background

  
  

  jackson is a secret love child, a product of two worlds colliding when they most definetly shouldn't have. he doesn't know this though since his mother has kept him completely in the dark when it comes to his father's true idenity. as far as he knows the man was a deadbeat who left befoe jax was born and it's not too far from the truth, right?
  
  his real father, mr. kingston, was pretty insistent on keeping his existence a secret. so much so that he pays jackson's mother of monthly to keep quiet. this is the only reason he and his mother live in the eastside rather than the southside. hush money. he has yet to pursue the search for his father, thinking that the man isn't worth the time of day since he abandoned them. he doesn't even understand why his mother gave him the last name king, which he believes is his father's last name.
  
  
  while they live a comfortable life, his mother still works as a nurse in a nearby hospital. this may be to conceal that she has random money coming in or because she actually likes her job, who knows. jackson, on the other hand, is a junior in high school and works part-time at the local mall for extra cash.

They fight constantly as she just wants the best for Dean but she keeps messing up her life. Trying to keep this house afloat was like trying to keep a ship from sinking with holes on the bottom. The real problem started when the foreclosure notices started to pile up and Jess was in no way making enough money with the day jobs that were offered. In fear of losing the house she grew up in, Jess took drastic measures and became an escort for the elite of Chicago. The income saved the house from being foreclosed on and she was able to pay the bills and put food on the table for her family.

Personality Traits:

+street smart

-blunt
-perfectionist
-impulsive

Background: Winona spent her entire adolescent life in the Eastside neighborhood of Chicago, having a pretty normal life with her two parents, Daniel and Regina, and younger siblings, Chance and Isaiah, for a majority of it. It was Daniel who introduced art to Winona and implanted a heavily rooted love for it. When she was 13, Winnie and her father were involved in a car accident, she survived but her father didn't. The death of her father hit Winona hard cause she was a lot closer to her father than her mother, and this caused an accidental isolation within her family. She loves her siblings and doesn't hesitate to take care of them, but she knows that her mother loves her siblings a little more because Winona reminds Regina of Daniel.

Despite her father's death, Winona continued with art, using it as a medium that could calm her when the world wasn't. In middle and high school, she had good grades and minimal friends, and she participated in volleyball and track, and the occasional art show. Winona loves her family and Chicago, but she had no problems getting away, so she applied, was accepted, and awarded scholarships to a university in Colorado. There she meets her boyfriend Zack and they date till the middle of spring semester. He becomes mentally and physically abusive towards Winnie and she fears for her life after she breaks up with him. She finds the ultimate escape when her mother asks her to return to Chicago due to an illness.

Although she does not have the best relationship with her mother, she mainly moves back for her two younger siblings and to avoid the controlling ex in Colorado. The huge change in her life was a little disruptive for her plans, but she still finds a way to strive. She applied to University of Chicago and was accepted, she is ready to participate in volleyball and track again. She has a job as a cook at a diner in the Southside, she started a waitress but after too many complaints about her attitude from her customers, she was put in the back. Her boss even allows her to sell some of her paintings at the diner. After being gone for a year, Winona has a hard time trusting and reconnecting with people. She can come off as a bitch because she puts a wall up and isn't afraid to call people out on their bullshit, but the instant someone becomes too aggressive she can get scared, which is problematic since she works in the Southside. When you get to know her and prove to yourself that you can be trusted, Winona will do anything to protect you and you can always count on her.

Get to Know Him​

Likes: track + basketball + anime + his friends + video games + his family

Fears: losing his family ~ getting involved with the wrong crowd

Personality Traits:
+polite
+ambitious
+loyal
+caring
-stubborn
-impulsive
-impatient
-can be dishonest at times

Background: Chance doesn't know any other home outside of the Eastside neighborhood of Chicago. He grew up with his parents Regina and Daniel, his older sister Winona, and younger brother Isaiah. He was always a quiet kid in the family, his mom claiming that he inherited it from her. He had a great relationship with both of his parents and was extremely devastated when his father died when he was 10, but not as much as his older sister. Winona tried to isolate herself from the family but Chance wouldn't allow it, constantly bugging her and the bother of them bonding over their shared talent of track. He even assisted on her paintings when he got the chance. He is even more of a doting older brother to Isaiah, always willing to take care of him when Winona and his mom are at work or school.
Chance isn't the smartest kid, barely scraping B's and C's to stay on the sports teams and to please the important women of his life. However, he is very athletic, hoping to get into a good college with an athletic scholarship. He has made friends through track and basketball, but doesn't like to put himself out in the social crowd too much. He is very polite to those older to him and those of authority, his father teaching him right as he grew up. Occasionally he works at the bowling alley and when not focusing on school or sports, he attends parties with his teammates.
When Winona moved to Colorado, Chance stepped up as an older sibling and assisted his mom with his younger brother. He stayed in touch with Winnie, calling her every other day and enjoying her visits during her holidays. He does not know about the abuse that Winnie goes through, but he is the one that actually calls her to come back home after their mother gets sick and refuses to leave her job. Chance will always remain loyal to his family and friends, the former being number one on his list. Around rude people he can have an attitude and it can get him in trouble. He got suspended from school for a few days after punching an older kid for making inappropriate comments about his sister, Winona does not know this (yet). Altogether, he's a good kid with a big heart that still has the capability of getting in trouble.
