[BreakingBinary]

Name: Samuel 'Sammi' Erwin
Age: 17
Height/Weight: 5' 11"/127 lbs.
Body Type: Lanky, with long limbs and a rectangular torso.
Appearance: His arms give him the look of someone that has been stretched out to be made taller, but his messy dark brown hair and large forest green eyes are reminiscent of a younger, more innocent boy. His pale skin is dotted with freckles in any place the sun has touched, with one bare patch around his left wrist. His fingers are like that of a pianist's, though he's never played it, and the small amount of muscle that keeps his appearance from mimicking that of a skeleton resides mainly in his hips, which he is self conscious about due to the almost girlish figure they produce.
Ticks: Years of attentive schooling have conditioned Sammi to raise his hand before asking a question or voicing an opinion. In public, this motion is often reduced to a twitch of the hand at the wrist.
Unique Physical Traits: As a child, he always wore a small rainbow bracelet. After being teased for it in middle school, he stopped wearing it. There are no freckles where the bracelet was, though the patch is usually obscured by a watch regardless.
Strengths: Sammi is always quick to check the facts for himself and never assumed that information is correct. He also pent two years doing a self defense class, an overreaction on his mom's part after he was pushed to the ground on accident in fourth grade by a high schooler riding his bike home.
Weaknesses: His lack of trust in information also leads to a lack of trust in people. He is outgoing but doesn't believe in the personalities of the people he meets until he's known them for years.
Humor: Sammi's humor consists mainly of pins that make the whole world collectively groan. When he isn't disappointing a new round of people, his humor also consists of exaggerations, such as getting people birthday cards with outrageously incorrect ages.
Life Outlook: Even though he finds people hard to trust, Sammi believes that with billions of people on Earth, at least some must be looking to make it a better place.
Favorite: He has a fondness for any spicy foods, loves action and horror movies, and couldn't live without music.
Vices: Steals small items to prove that he is brave enough to. Self conscious about his own weight, so he refuses to date or associate with extremely heavy girls.
Goals: Graduate college with a music education degree. Pass on his love of music to others. ???. Profit...?
Occupation: College student at University of Raite, cashier.
Personal Items: A large watch to obscure the patch of clear skin on his wrist.
History: (For the sake of story building, not much will go here) For two years, Sammi was trapped in the middle of a custody battle between his mother and father. Though his father was abusive, the court found no evidence against him. He is now forced to go to his father's house every summer. This abusive relationship led to him discovering music as an escape at a young age.

All right! You didn't come from the thread, so you didn't see. Raite has two warring universities! Would you like to be a part of the Univeristy of Raite or Percival's Academy?

Name: Giovanna Bellerose
Age: 22
Height/Weight: 5'6"/118lbs
Body Type: Toned, with wide hips. Average arms but long legs.
Appearance: Giovanna has long brown hair, with the tips lighter than the roots from her constant bleaching and changing of hair colors.

Ticks: When she's nervous of feeling uneasy, she tends to bite her nails. She has done this since she was younger, which has her playing with her nails, either painting them, cleaning them, or just plainly biting them. She knows it's bad for her to do it, but old habits are hard to get out of.

History: Life was perfect before Giovanna's father passed away. The day she and her mother received the news, she was but 13. Her mother worked herself so hard to provide for them, and when her new stepfather came in, she thought that things would be better. She was wrong. Giovanna was badly mistreated by her stepfather and the guy she thought loved her. Once she was eighteen she ran from her mother's care to start a new one where she would never fear again. Earning a living from her art was new, but it was the one thing that got her into Percival's Academy and graduating early. Now, she lives a humble life in the Art District as she continues to create her pieces of art.
