Name: Elizabeth Holt
Age: 23
Appearance:
Personality: Elizabeth has the nickname 'Mouse' for a reason. She knows that she's plain looking and a rather plain individual, and she uses that to her advantage. She's very quiet, soft spoken and feminine. Elizabeth is easy to get along with, and the image of the perfect housewife and the least suspecting individual there is. She's religious and believes in good deeds, and the power of those good deeds carrying for decades to come. Her loyalty is undying, and she's fast to fall in love and to forgive those who have wronged her.
Likes: Sewing, cooking, cleaning, traveling.
Dislikes: The Confederacy, boisterous men, prejudice and liars.
Backstory: Elizabeth Holt was born Elizabeth Strathmore, both of her parents hailing from London. They came over when she was just a baby, and they set up a general store business in Virginia. The business grew from one store to three, and they began to rake in money. In spite of this, they never owned any slaves. The Strathmore's were Jewish and they didn't see any real purpose in owning slaves, because of the Exodus. Elizabeth married her husband Eddie Holt when she was seventeen, and she bore him a son named Henry. Eddie was killed in a dispute over some land that they owned on their farm, and Elizabeth was forced to move back with her parents and her infant boy. As slaves began to flee the south, Elizabeth and her family saw no choice but to help them on their way to freedom, hiding them in their grandiose mansion. Not only this, but Elizabeth began to work as a spy for the Union, wanting to do what she knew was right in her heart.. and living in the smack dab middle of Virginia, there was plenty to relay.

Rusty of Shackleford
Ten Thousand Club
Name: Aidan McCarthy
Age: 23
Appearance:
Personality: True to the stereotype, Aidan is a firey, foul mouth troublemaker. An Irishman through and through, he has an intense hatred of bullies and tyrants, or just anyone telling him what to do in general. When he's not picking fights or performing mischief, he's in the local pub with his friends, drinking and singing like true natives of the Isle. He has a carefree and loose attitude, with little cares outside his friends and family.
Likes: Drinking, singing, family/friends
Dislikes: Tyrants, English, Aristocrats
Backstory: Aidan was born in Ireland, his grandfather having taken part in the rebellion, and his father immigrating in 1848, when he was 11 years old. Aidan's father was one of the first volunteers for what would become the 69th Infantry Regiment, which was then a militia group with the goal of returning to Ireland to liberate it. But as time went on, the Irish were naturalized, and were made part of the Union Army itself. Growing up in New York was...hard, to say the least. Aidan grew up smack dab in the middle of the rise and fall of the Know Nothing Movement, an anti-Catholic, anti-immigrant movement located primarily in New York. And as an Irishman, and with his family as devout Catholics, their neighborhood was often the site of intense violence. This environment made Aidan someone who would not be stepped over, or pushed around. He was a born fighter, and when the Know Nothing's came marching around, it wasn't long until Aidan and his buddies would kick their Anglo asses out. His father was a fourth generation butcher, and as such, Aidan and his two brothers were trained to do likewise, though Aidan prefers to be put galavanting than cutting meat. Little did he know, that in just one month, the bloodiest war on US soil would break out, and he would be faced with it head on.
Union or Confederacy: Union
Other: Aidan is an incredibly good singer, and isn't afraid of showing it. He is also the oldest of two brothers, with the youngest being 16, and the middle child being 19

Delphine
Miss Vanjie
Name: Grace Ann Buchanan
Male Name: James Grant
Age: 21
Date of Birth: July 7th, 1840
Appearance:
Personality: Grace Ann believes that equality is for everybody, no race or gender excluded. While she isn't exactly the outspoken type, she does believe in voicing her own opinions. Many times has she been silenced by her father or brothers because of things she finds trivial. It hasn't stopped her from learning how to shoot and wield a firearm, thanks to her eldest brother James, one of the sane ones in the family. Working on a family owned farm has toughened Grace to hard labour and hard work hours, which only caused confusion in the young woman in regards to gender roles in society. Decided to earn the same respect as a man, Grace can act very imprudently and recklessly, but her best intention is in every action. A hard believer in love at first sight, she finds it a challenge to find someone with the same values as she does, but when war peaks, love is the last thing on her mind.

Backstory: Grace Ann has been a firm believer of equality ever since a young age. A young and educated woman, she works on a family owned farm with her parents and her four elder brothers in Alabama. Her childhood had been extremely quiet, while hard and filled with labour, it taught her the values of hard work. During her spare time, Grace Ann would read any book that comes under her radar, mostly to learn more about.. well.. Everything, really. Though reading law books did come with a price. The few times she was caught, she was punished harshly by both her parents. Growing up, Grace Ann believed in love through thick and thin, whether it be familial love or something else. By the age of 18, her eldest brother, James, the one she loved dearest, had fallen extremely ill. He was the one who had taught her how to wield a firearm, or how to stay low. He lasted a whole year, dying on April 2th, 1859. The family went in mourning, and his death still affects the family, who now was strained because of his death. James was a believer, almost as much as Grace Ann was, and before he passed away, he gave her his silver ring, which she still wears to this day. His death affected her the most, since she was extremely close to him, and when men could officially enlist in what would be known as the Civil War, Grace Ann took her chance and disguised herself as a man, using her late brother's first name and forged documents to enlist. She made sure to cut her hair nice and short, and to leave no trace behind, hoping her family would believe she ran away for a better life.. Since she was joining the enemy troops, The Union.

One Thousand Club
Name: Joseph Silbermann
Age: 23
Personality: Like many eager recruits, Joseph thinks the war will be a grand adventure. He is rather calm and collected, but wants to do his part to defend the Union.
Bio: Joseph is the son of German immigrants, growing up on a farm in upstate New York. The work was hard, and the family never had much more than a roof over their heads, but they at least had that. When South Carolina became the first state to secede, Joseph felt that war was on the horizon, and when other states joined the Rebellion, it seemed inevitable. So Joseph went to a state militia recruiter and joined the 66th New York, The Governor's Guards. He's still in drills, but looking forward to getting in the fight. Little does he, or virtually anyone else, know just what he's getting himself into...

Name: Ophelia Jameson/ Jackson Jones
Age: 22
Appearance:
Personality: Ophelia is a bold, daring young woman. She isn't afraid to take risks for the good of the Union. She is loud and energetic, often being the first one up in the morning. However, she can also be quite stubborn, and will keep fighting for something until she gets her way. She is always eager to learn new things.
Likes: Coffee, singing, sunrises, autumn, warm colors, learning
Dislikes: Sexism, slavery, rude/ignorant people, tomatoes
Backstory: Ophelia was born in Pennsylvania as the oldest of four children. She has two younger sisters, Penelope (19) and Sylvia (17) and a younger brother named John (14). Her mother had been fine with just three children, but her father wanted a boy, and thus, John was always her father's favorite child. She is not very close with her father, but she loves her mother and siblings dearly. Growing up, she had a better education than most girls her age. Although she only went to school for two years, she gained a lot of knowledge through reading books in her father's library. Ophelia has always been very patriotic, especially since her deceased great-grandfather Jackson had fought in the Revolutionary War. When it was evident that a war would soon begin in the U.S, Ophelia made plans to disguise herself as a man in order to enlist. She chose the alias Jackson after her beloved great-grandfather, whom she looks up to and aspires to be like. As for her love life, Ophelia once admired a boy in her age group when she was 17, but he turned out to be misogynistic, which she did not like, and she has since cut off contact with him.

Miss Vanjie
Name: William Thomas Buchanan
Age: 22
Date of Birth: September 9th, 1838
Appearance:
Personality: Being the youngest son in the family, though not the youngest, William is extremely stubborn, hard headed and opinionated. Determined to outshine his older brothers and to get under the good favour of their father, he learned everything he could from his father, and often joined in on the condescendance of his younger sister, Grace Ann. He never really got along with her, like most of his family. William could also be perceived as rude and arrogant, often boasting about his accomplishments, which meant he had one step over his brothers. While he isn't the friendliest person around, William still desires to find a wife and have a family of his own. As long as he can stay on top of his brothers in life's competition, he'll be happy.
Likes:

Dislikes:
-Being brought down
-Defeat
-His sister, Grace Ann
-The Union
Backstory: Born the second youngest in the family, William had issues growing up. Born and raised on a family owned farm in Alabama, it's all William ever knew. From a young age, he learned how to shoot a gun and take care of the place, like all of his other siblings.. But it wasn't enough. It was never enough for him. He never felt like he'd amount to anything, especially because he was the youngest boy in the family. He also felt threatened by his own sister, which turned him against her. Whenever his father criticized her for reading or trying to speak her mind, he'd join in, gaining the approval of his own father. He was very neutral about his other brothers, he did want to be better than them but he wasn't afraid of them taking the spotlight. James and Grace Ann were the only two people who scared him, and thus made him mean and arrogant. When James died, the whole family was in mourning, and while William wasn't on good terms with him, it was still his brother. When he learned that he gave his silver ring to their sister, it did made him resent Grace, since he couldn't clearly see why he was favouring their sister by giving her a goodbye gift, seeing her as inferior. When a war started between the South and the North, William was quick to join the Confederacy, not only to spite his own sister, who had run away, but to gain a sense of pride by joining the military.

Rusty of Shackleford
Ten Thousand Club
Name: William Cross
Age: 31
Appearance:
His skin is of course tanned. Just couldn't find a fitting image.
Personality: A stark and solemn man, Will speaks rarely, only when absolutely necessary. He prefers the outdoors to people, and isn't one to be boisterous. Due to his experiences, Will doesn't show his emotions much, having seen the cruelty of man. Despite all of this, however, Will is a loving husband and father, and a devout Christian,and takes no pride in killing others.
Likes: The outdoors, his family, church
Dislikes: Cities, any kind of government in general
Backstory: Born on a cold winter morning in 1831, Will was the son of a half-Cherokee frontiersman, and a full Cherokee mother. He was primarily raised on the reservation, constantly under scrutiny by US troops. Growing up in this environment, Will never truly understood what was happening, why he and his family were marked off from the rest of society. But he got his first lesson in hatred during the infamous Trail of Tears. Andrew Jackson ordered the military, against the orders of the Supreme Court, to push the Cherokee out of their lands west of the Mississippi, and be relocated east to Oklahoma. Will was much of his family snatched away from him, the boy being taken in by his uncle, who fled into the Blue Ridge Mountains. Growing up in utter poverty, and miles from any civilization, Will was made familiar with the hardships of life, and soon enough, became hardened himself. But soon enough, the government found them, and they were all forced to give up their heritage and become US citizens. By now, Will's hatred for the federal government was tempered only by his faith, and the Bible's lesson to love all of God's children. The man married young, and was just twenty when his wife, Lucy, gave birth to their first child. But they buried the girl soon afterwards, and three out of the five children did not survive. But Will kept on, as he always had. When tensions between the North and South began to mount, Will was initially disinterested. But he soon realized that eventually, the government would march into his people's land once again. So, he decided he would join the Confederates alongside his fellow Cherokee, under William Thomas Cross, a North Carolina Senator and the only white man to ever be adopted into the Cherokee.
