Realistic or Modern All in the Family - Characters

[Geozaki]

Name: Lilly Jayne Rhodes
Age: 10
Gender: Female
Birthday: Dec 20th
Appearance: Physically Lilly is rather petite for her age, she has deep, blue eyes and long red hair, she also has a thin trail of freckles that sits across her nose and just under her eyes.


Personality: While at home with her family Lilly is a very bubbly and energetic person. She's loud and excitable most of the time and loves spending time with the people she lives with. She hardly ever walks through the house, preferring to run or skip or even treat the building as if it were some sort of obstacle course. Her persona outside of the house, however, is drastically different. When she's around people she doesn't know all that well she has crippling social anxiety and is as shy as they come. She will avoid talking to anyone and even panics having to do something as small as walk past someone from time to time. However, her social anxiety is much better if she's out with someone she fully trusts, such as a member of her family.

Lilly loves to escape to other worlds, be it through reading, playing a game or listening to music. She also has an extremely overactive imagination allowing her to fully immerse herself in the world she is 'visiting' at the time. Despite her bubbly nature when at home, she has her fair share of emotional problems. She often get's bullied at school, generally, it's nothing severe but even the simplest things such as people teasing her because she's ginger really seem to affect her, she feels extremely guilty for the tiniest of things and struggles to let things go, she has her crippling social anxiety and she suffers from depression. Most days she manages to keep on top of everything but every now and then something gets to her and brings everything she tries to ignore to the surface with it. Lilly often escapes to her 'other worlds' in order to avoid dealing with things in the real world and due to her overactive imagination she sometimes struggles to differentiate between reality and fiction.

Lilly hates school, she doesn't really have any friends there due to her inability to talk to other people without freaking out. Her anxiety revolving around school is so severe that every now and then it causes her to feel physically sick. She has trouble sleeping most nights but not always for negative reasons, she just doesn't sleep all that much, though sometimes her emotional state doesn't help. Emotionally, Lilly is far older than her age. She has an impressive understanding of other people's emotions but sometimes struggles with understanding her own.

Lilly looks up to her siblings and often tries to get involved in what they're doing, even if what they're doing is too old for her.

Other: When she's out of the house, Lilly carries a small over the shoulder bag everywhere she goes. Inside the bag are often things such as her DS, a notebook and pencil, earphones/headphones and some device for playing music, such as an iPod.
Lilly is a rather clumsy person.
Lilly has an extreme phobia of needles (As was discovered when she was taken to the doctors after feeling sick for a long time and they suggested a blood test and she burst into tears, though it later turned out that it was emotional stress causing the sickness) she also has an intermittent fear of the dark. Sometimes she'd fine in the dark but sometimes it terrifies her.
Has a sort of natural connection with animals and gets along with them almost effortlessly. She struggles to restrain herself from interacting with animals be they wild or pets and seeing animals dislike her (Especially more confident animals such as dogs) is a rarity.
She really wants to learn to play a musical instrument, her favorites being Piano, violin and guitar.
Has a very low pain threshold
Lilly is very squeamish, she's never actually thrown up but she has felt faint due to seeing gruesome things and even passed out.
Lilly has Sectoral Heterochromia which means although her eyes are usually percieved as blue they have been known to change colour depending on the light around her. It's said that Sectoral Heterochromia can also be affected by mood though this has yet to be definitively proven.

((I'll probably keep adding to this as the RP goes on... probably))

 

[Wake]

Name: Gabe Klein
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Occupation: A HR rep. of a small toothbrush company.
Appearance: Quite tall at 6’5”. Quite thin and boney in stature. Always dresses pretty formal, usually at least business casual, even when at home.
Birthday: February 13

Personality: On the surface, Gabe is a rather uptight with stiff posture and mannerisms. He speaks pretty politely, sometimes so politely it’s kind of inconvenient and roundabout. Furthermore, he’s a rather timid sort, rarely one to strike up a conversation and somewhat lacking when it comes to socialization. All this put together makes him come off as moderately to intensely awkward, depending on the observer. He also almost completely lacks a sense of humor, only laughing minimally at the most basic and wholesome of jokes, and even then it seems somewhat forced. Gabe is a well-trained dog, seldom speaking to people he ranks above himself unless spoken to, following orders to a T and very rarely objecting against anything unless he’s given explicit jurisdiction over someone. In these cases, he often expects the same sort of dogmatic respect that he gives others. All in all, he’s a natural-born follower.

Beyond the surface, Gabe can be more of a weirdo. He’s into the macabre and disturbing to a level that, although not obsessive, comes across as unusual and not particularly healthy. He also practices the hobby of collecting strange things like dried seahorses, molds and funguses, and deformed organic matter. He also takes up the hobby of constructing “soundscapes” and filming very unusual and at times borderline voyeuristic short films. Thankfully, Gabe seldom talks about such things, perhaps having enough awareness to figure it would freak out anyone he’s engaged in conversation with. Although almost always fairly mild mannered, at times he has the potential to freak out, usually over something kind of petty. In these cases, he reacts similarly to a shrill white woman, where it’s not so much volume as short, sharp consonants. He’s also something of a loner, not appearing to have any friends.

Discord: Wake-the-winds#2328
Other: Knows quite a bit about minerals. Was raised primarily by his grandmother. Everyone thought he was gay in high school, Same in college. He hasn’t given the matter much thought. Cultivates crayfish in a small tank. Enjoys listening to the music of Lady Gaga. He’s a bit too tall to fit at most desks. Can sort of play piano. Majored in Film Appreciation, minored in business management.

[Dak]

Name: Dominick Rhodes
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Birthday: Sep.5
Appearance:

Personality/Backstory:
Dominick isn't really related to the rest of his "Family". On paper, he is one of the family, but in actuality, he is a stranger to them. So he can sometimes seem off and aloof around members of his "family". He distances himself from his family because of his real family. He's also very quiet, due to the fact that he was beaten whenever he would speak back so he learned when to speak and when not to speak. He grew up, for the most part, in a house full of dope and violence. He saw it kill the ones he loves so he shuts himself out. He vowed to himself that he wouldn't grow up like those who took dope.

Other than his less than favorable childhood, he is incredibly smart. To drown out his problems he would read and read. He spent day and night studying. Learning as much as he could. He wanted to get as far away from there as he could. And one day it had finally happened. He'd been taken away and put into foster home after foster home, till he was brought to the Rhodes.

-is a sophomore in high school but takes senior classes

[doneanddusted]

May Helena Rhodes

Age: 16
Birthday: June 7th, 2000
Gender: Female

Appearance: One might think May looks very very similar to Emily. Standing only a bit taller than her mother, May has a wild mess of short red hair and incredibly intense blue eyes. Her skin, though thankfully is capable of being tan, remains for now quite pale. She tends to wear a variation of jackets, hoodies, and tee-shirts, though she’ll never ever wear shorts.

Personality: At school, May is very sociable. Her “popularity” might come from her excitable ways and possibly from the fact that she’s a good person to go to when you need help with homework. Her occasional quirkiness makes her all the more endearing. Smart, friendly, kind. Who wouldn’t want more from a person?

Well…

At home, May’s a recluse. It’s like all the emotion has drained from her. She’ll usually stay locked up in her room, not going out unless forced to. She dislikes when people ask things out of her, or really just to talk to her. She’s also really snappy and has very little patience for anyone in the house. Even when she isn’t a gremlin, she’ll speak in a rather curt manner and keep to herself. Perhaps she used to be the kind friendly older sister who helped and comforted everyone. Well, May’s different now.

She must be in that rebel phase.

Because of her general distaste for her family, May tends to stay at school for a pretty long time.

Discord: Shmivian

Other:

• Top classes, high club participation, plenty of service hours, martial arts on the side
• Quite good at video games, though she rarely plays.

 

[Wormy]

Name: Liam James Rhodes

Age: 14

Gender: Male

Birthday: October 2nd

Appearance: Liam is approximately 5’4” tall, with a build that would be best described as "average" for his age. He has brown eyes, and dark brown hair that falls to just above his shoulders. He prefers to wear casual and comfortable clothing, normally sticking to something relatively plain and simple.

[IMG='width:136px;']https://i.imgur.com/6VfapD0.png[/IMG] [IMG='width:187px;']https://i.imgur.com/6QZjEqx.png[/IMG] [IMG='width:146px;']https://i.imgur.com/XgVLGG0.png[/IMG]

Personality: Liam has been described as lots of things by his peers: quirky, eccentric, odd, or just downright weird (and sometimes some worse things, but we’ll leave those). Despite this, he simply sees himself as Liam, and everyone is weird. While he can have some difficulty knowing what to say and when, or just generally what to do with himself, he’s a thoughtful person who tries his best to please those he cares about. He enjoys the company of both himself and others, and will usually go along with most sorts of activities as long as there’s a plan. Though, once his limit to socialise has been reached, he needs to have some time alone to “recharge” and collect his thoughts. Once he’s had enough, he’s had enough, and if he doesn’t get space to himself he can quickly become anxious, irritable, and occasionally somewhat violent. Thankfully, he usually knows how to recognise his limits and takes himself for time out when he needs it.

While Liam is often upbeat and content around most of his friends/family, he also undoubtedly has a more serious side to him when it comes to school or other things to work towards. He is a perfectionist and tries to ensure that even the smallest of things he does is done the “right” way and to his highest standard. This can lead to him getting very frustrated when he is struggling to do something or does it wrong. However, he doesn’t like to let frustration get to him, and will usually want to try something challenging again once he is ready.

Due to the way his brain processes things, Liam struggles with handling lots of emotions or similar chaos. When things get too much, he normally withdraws himself from the world and focuses on a specific interest of his until he feels prepared to come back and face reality. Though periods like this don’t usually last a long time for him, it is near impossible to break him out of the state he enters until he is ready. When asked to explain it, he has previously told people that "You can't magically force a giraffe to swim", which is an accurate fact, but doesn't fully succeed in conveying what he means.

To summarise in one sentence: Liam has some difficulties with communication, but he invests 100% of his effort into what he cares about.


Other:

• Liam has a diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome/ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), and while he ensures doesn’t define him, it has impacted several parts of his lifestyle and personality. He tries not to view it as a problem, and instead tries to accept that it’s a part of him and always will be, so he may as well just get on with it.
• Due to having AS, he also has some sensory processing issues (mostly sound and touch), which become more apparent when he is tired or in a bad mood.
• Liam absolutely loves all things Pokémon, but has a special attachment to the trading card game, which he was introduced to by a friend when he was nine years old. Since then he has been expanding his collection, practising playing at his school’s card club, and soon wants to compete in a tournament.
• He doesn’t like pizza. (That seems like something too controversial to not mention. =P)
• His favourite subjects at school are computer science and math. He has a creative side too, but it isn't seen as much by others.
• People crying makes him feel very uncomfortable. Whether it's someone he knows, someone on TV, or even himself. It makes him feel squirmy and he doesn’t know how to handle it.
• Liam very much enjoys playing video games. He mostly sticks to Nintendo ones (especially if they have anything to do with Pokémon), but likes other games too. Some examples of his non-Nintendo favourites are Minecraft, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes, Crash Bandicoot, and Undertale.
• Liam loves cartoons and animated films. He often spurts out quotations from his favourite shows and characters.
• He has specific days of the week set to wear certain socks.
• Liam can recite the first three generations of the PokéDex, and is working on memorising the fourth generation. Listing them aloud or in his head can be helpful in lots of situations, from calming down to solving boredom.
• His favourite colours are purple and blue.
• He usually prefers to listen to instrumentals instead of music with lyrics.

[Wake]

Name: Robin LaBelle
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Birthday: May 19
Appearance: Fairly beautiful-- especially for a man-- in a somewhat androgynous way, with soft, milky skin, florid cheeks, flaxen hair and and emerald eyes. He usually dresses pretty stylishly, especially when off work. A little vain, he spends a lot of time with personal grooming, especially when it comes to styling his hair. (I'll post fc when I find/draw one)

Personality: One of the most noticeable things about him is his flamboyance, something that comes with his dandyism. He's fairly charismatic and not free of certain eccentricities. Otherwise, he's pretty sociable and talkative and very interested in people, something that can cause him to come off as intrusive. He greatly enjoys beautiful things and people, the latter giving him a reputation of a massive flirt and womanizer. More often than not, when he goes out for the evening, he'll take someone home. Despite this, he finds it difficult to hold down a stable relationship, opting for strings of one-night-stands or brief affairs, often with multiple people at a time. This habit often leads to some pretty awkward situations, so he's no stranger to getting slapped or dashed with wine. Although he's rarely alone and has quite a few friends, he finds it difficult to form relationships beyond a shallow level, leaving him always a little lonely.
At the police force, he works in the forensics department, handling evidence and often assisting the coroner with autopsies. In the town's small force, their forensics department is rather small, meaning he only seldom shares a shift with someone but as he's skilled at his job, especially for his age, this isn't much trouble. The somewhat solitary environment of his work somewhat contrasts with his personality, but he seems to work hard and earnestly for the most part, though his favorite part is talking with his co-workers.

Other: Minored in art history. Likes to paint now and then in his free time. Used to be a hipster, still is in some ways. Has a decent collection of suits. Likes sweet things. Can hold his alcohol surprisingly well. Comes from a wealthy family to which he's estranged. Bisexual.
