Lorna Marie Ellsworth


23

Portland, Maine
Inn Keeper and grocery clerk

Lo was always a bold person, she was loud, sarcastic and fun loving. Her entire life she had been popular, athletic and well liked despite her harsh tongue. Most of her time is spent working but when she's free she likes to take to the town with her small group of friends and drink or go snowboarding in the winters.

Growing up in Portland meant that Lo was constantly surrounded by the charm of her little tourist town. Her parents were just a humble, normal, family with one child that owned the local bed and breakfast. It wasn't until Lo was in her teenage years that they also bought the cute little grocery store in town. Once Lo graduated from high school she chose to stay and work rather than going off to college, she already knew that her real passion in life was this town and running the Inn. For the past 5 years Lo had been learning how to take over the business entirely so that her parents could become more and more comfortable giving into their dreams of traveling to Asia. Now Lo runs everything while her parents trek across the world!

Slade Locklear

27

Houghton, MI

Hiking Instructor and Bradbury State Park Officer

Slade is a lone wolf of a man who prefers to keep to himself most times. Due to this he can come off as a bit standoffish but it's not out of a place of rudeness or annoyance, its more out of a place of simply being quiet. When he does talk, which his job requires, he is a kind and understanding person.

Growing up in a large and proud Native family grew Slade into the person he is today. The middle child of six brothers and sisters meant he was often talked over or lumped into group decisions but his family never made him feel lesser than anyone else... they were just louder than he was. His mother raised her children to be kind to others and show them a kindness that their people didn't always get. She wanted to raise upstanding children that would be physical proof that differences in people didn't have to and shouldn't cause strain, it should cause education and understanding. Slade was only 15 when she died of breast cancer but he never forgot her words of wisdom. When Slade finished school and got his degree in environmental science, he got a job as a traveling parks officer and went off. For the past year he had been in Portland, it was an okay enough town and quiet in the off season from the tourists. He currently lived alone in town in a small apartment with nothing but his belongings and a dying aloe plant.

Callie Montgomery
22 years old
Washington D.C.
Harvard Law Student

Poised, respectful, and well mannered were accurate descriptions of Callie. Her father was a high powered politician and her mother was a successful lawyer, she didn't know how to be anything but those things. Callie never wanted to live her life in her parents shadow, though she was appreciative of everything she was given in life. She has a strong, confident, and fierce personality underneath her poised and mannered appearance.


0096f166a2c65b6ea55714924deb7012.jpg
Growing up Callie would describe her life as pretty normal. Two loving parents, a protective brother. In high school the families dynamic seemed to change. Suddenly they stopped going to church and started their own church. Her father's loving personality darkened, he was preaching about a disease that was to rise in the coming years, how it was going to kill the unworthy and how western medicine wouldn't be able to cure them. Her father preached about how God told him he was the chosen one to lead the new world, how he and his family would lead them to a new perfect society. No poverty, no hunger. Classic values and some new ones were to be upheld or people would suffer punishment.

To be honest? Callie never bought into what he was selling. Unfortunately many people did. Her fathers following in the few short years he had been preaching got a lot of attention from wealthy and successful men like him. When she graduated she was shocked when he allowed her to go to Harvard. Unfortunately she was given a list of rules to follow, one of them being she had to be escorted everywhere by one of her father's followers or her brother.

Doctor Haruka Suzuki
24
Kyoto, Japan
Surgeon at Maine Medical Center in Portland, Maine

Haruka is a strong independent hard working girl. She was raised by a single mother who worked three jobs just to keep them steady, it taught her that she needed an education to make it in life. Her life became focused on studying and being the top of the class.

With how much Haru focused on her studies she didn't really find the time for friends. She was cold, straight forward, and jaded. Friends wouldn't help her achieve anything in life. She always got the highest marks in school and eventually Haruka got a full ride to Harvard. Her mother passed away not too long after that. Haru left Japan and never turned back once she buried her mother. She chose to be a surgeon because she's not only great under pressure but because she doesn't like having to talk much to the patients.​

Gillian Montgomery
28
Washington D.C.
Combat specialist//Sister's guard

Once upon a time ago Gillian used to be called Gill. Gill went to church, attended school and made friends just like any other wealthy boy in the community. He wanted to grow up and make a difference, to help those less fortunate than him. Unfortunately Gillian was born the first son to a monster, a monster named Sullivan Montgomery. Gillian was brought up to be strong, to follow in his footsteps. He raised Gillian to believe that they were better than most people, that good women were property and needed to be protected. Gillian was brought up to be his fathers personal soldier.

Callie was the first daughter, the apple of all their eyes. Of course she got the normal childhood, their parents wanted to give her the world. Gillian? His father had different plans for him. Their mother wanted to let him grow up and let him make his own decisions. Sullivan? Sullivan intended on Gillian being just like him come Hell or high water. He steered Gillian on the 'right' path his whole life, be it by money, his fists, or a whip. Gillian tried to stay strong but eventually he caved and did exactly what his father told him to. Study, charm, workout, go to college. Above everything, however, was protect his sister. Precious things were to be protected.

After college Gillian continued to remain with his family in D.C. He was his fathers assistant, did whatever he asked him to. Gillian was scared to leave. When Callie decided to go to college he was shocked to be sent with her. He was to keep them both in line and make sure nothing happened to her. Of course they had to come home often, but for once they had a little bit of freedom.

Marco Russo
27
Sicily, Italy
Pilot

Marco is an easy going laid back kind of guy. He loves to have fun, have a drink, meet pretty women, and see the sights. He doesn't stress about much and he keeps his cool no matter what kind of pressure he's under.

Growing up Marco had it all. Older siblings, younger siblings, loving parents, friends. His family wasn't rich but they weren't poor. More importantly? They were happy. They were always laughing and having a good time. Life was good.

One of Marco's life goals were to see sights all over the world. He got his piloting license with his family's support he flew all over the world. Every few flights he returned home to see everyone. The last time he flew home, however, no one was home to see him. They were all in the hospital, all on their deathbed. The same sickness that was claiming lives all over the world seemed to claim his family within the matter of 24 hours.

Marco couldn't bare to live in his family's home without them. He went back out flying and hasn't returned since. He grieves by drowning his sorrows in alcohol at the hotel bar when he's not flying.

Drake Potter

25

New York, New York
Investigative Journalist

Drake is rude, crass and a little bit of an ass. The man would honestly prefer to be invisible because it would keep people from ever talking to him. A lot of people assumed that the man who worked in media would be a people person but honestly he was the opposite. People were cretin and so was he.

Family was never really a thing for him, his mom left him on his grandparents doorstep the day he was born and she hoofed it. His grandparents tried for a while but they were already in their 70s when he was a newborn, it was too hard. Eventually Drake was put up for adoption at age 2 and adopted by a family who already had four other adopted children. They were... parents for status? Was that the best way to put it? Rich socialite people who posed for pictures with their little charity case children. Not that he was complaining, he was thankful for their wealth. Without it he wouldn't have the education or life he had. However with parents like that you dont really learn things such as empathy or love in general. None of the siblings were close and most followed in the footsteps of not really doing anything, just being rich on daddies money. Drake didn't want that... he knew how fleeting something like wealth could be and wanted to be able to support himself. That was how he started to hone his skill for writing. He started wanting to write novels but the talent for investigative journalism found him when a college professor at his school was accused of sleeping with students in exchange for good grades. Drake was in that class and... not getting a good grade. The rumor lit a fire under his ass and two weeks later an article about the entire situation was front page news in the area. Written by him.

Drake owed a lot to his profession, he got to live a life he enjoyed for the most part. But his job was also what got him in his current... predicament. Drake was following a lead on a cult when he was beaten to a pulp and left for dead. The information he discovered was disturbing and if the cops had taken him seriously, maybe something could have been different. Instead they labeled him as crazy and put him into temporary witness protection to recover and "take some time". Thats how he ended up in Portland Oregon in a "quaint" little bed and breakfast for the past month.

[div class=tag]history:[/div] Ava was born into a family of three older brothers and two loving, but strict, parents. They were religious through and through, Sundays were for God and every other day was to be lived in his light. Ava knew from a young age she didn't really... agree...? The God they taught her of seemed judgmental and unkind and she always found that she was a little bit of an outcast from her family. When she was ten she found her grandmothers spell book while playing in the basement and instantly she found an interest in it. It spoke of deities who were kind and understanding, helpful and wise. It also spoke of scary things that were misunderstood but also dangerous. That seemed more realistic to her! How could ONE GUY do the job?! When her mother found out what she had found she was furious at her husband for not throwing the thing out because it was a book of the devil so she took it upon herself to throw it out and punish her daughter for even looking at it.... Ava stole it from the trash bin that night and had been protecting it ever since. In high school Ava finally came clean to her father about her love for her grandmothers religion and while he wasn't thrilled... he choose to help. He allowed Ava to go to boarding school for her last two years of high school so that she could blossom into the person she was meant to be. He died while she was away... car accident. And when Ava came home for the funeral and her mother saw and heard what she was like now... she was kicked out of the family. A few months after that she was sent a letter to make her aware that her father left some money and a small store to her in Portland, Maine. That's where she is now, living in the top floor of her little tea and holistic shop that once was a potion and salve store her grandmother owned.
