Isaias Alexander Willoughby // 19 // Male // closested homosexual
youngest Willoughby Child
face claim is Xavier Dolan​

Personality. Isaias has always been difficult. As a child it was less so, only having moments here and there of hard headedness and outright rebellion. He liked the thrill of doing the wrong thing and took the negative attention it attracted as a form of praise. He liked being the bad kid, because most of the others weren't, and being original was very important when you were the younger of two boys in a very well put together and respected family.

But as he continued to grow up, he had a tendency to stay in trouble. He is assertive and confrontational, traits that he has always possessed, and likes to feel in control. When he isn't feeling in control, he loses his cool really quickly and that nasty temper of his shows itself as clear as day. He will fight with anyone about anything, and hates for people to disagree with him. However, this is with the "outside world", with strangers and authoritative figures from other aspects of his life.

With those he is closest to, because even a tough kid like Isaias has grown up with friends and family and does possess some close relationship with some of them, he can be a little calmer. In fact, with the people closest to him, his resolve is so solid it is almost scary. Because he is so secretive about his past and the lifestyle he has been living up to this point, he has a tendency to just be quiet. To let others speak and say what they will, while he just listens. He is terrified of accidentally revealing any truth to anyone mostly because he is terrified to face it himself.

He is not healthy or positive person, and he knows it, and to the outside world he freely shows it. To the people he cares about, who he has hurt time and time again and is determined not to hurt ever again, he tries to be somewhat convincingly kind and even pretends to have "changed".

Isaias cares deeply for his family and friends, it's just that he cannot get himself together, and get a grip on his own mental health and personality issues.



Interests and hobbies. In the past Isaias enjoyed reading, gaming, hiking, camping, the outdoors, a variety of music, and sports. Lately he has had difficulty giving any amount of attention to even the things he genuinely enjoyes.
likes and dislikes. Isaias is fond of beaches and warm weather, the feeling of vacations and holidays, being involved in a community in some way. He dislikes feeling outcasted (even though he puts himself in that position often), feeling second-best, losing at anything, people who ask too many questions as a form of "small talk", and feeling crowded or stuck.

Extra. Isaias has battled addiction of multiple varieties the last several years of his life, and his family has forced him to keep it secret so as to keep up appearances. He doesn't like the fact he's very much outcasted himself from the friends he grew up being so close to, but he is terrified they will find out the hard truths about him, and that they would reject him anyway. So it has just been easier to distance himself.

basic history. Isaias didn't like living in his brother's shadow, and truthfully he was never actually living in his brother's shadow at all, he only felt that way because his brother was the smarter and more successful of the two at everything. Isaias suffered from a short attention span and general disinterest in the hobbies that their parents presented as options for them, and preferred reading or using his imagination compared to actually studying and remembering anything of lasting "value".

As Isaias grew, his personality issues became more tumultuous and, eventually, his overall mental health plummeted. In his pre-teen and early teenage years he suffered from even more attention issues, and started to grow generally apathetic to the world around him. The constant push to do as well as his older brother wore him down for a while and eventually he just stopped caring altogether. When was thirteen, his parents caved and sought therapy for him. This was the time when Isaias personality truly took shape, as he learned more about himself and the way he thought. He was eventually diagnosed with depression and given some basic treatment for it.

However after some time, Isaias progressed into a more and more toxic person. He withdrew from his tight knit friend group and made outside friends, he started keeping his feelings secret and to this day, that is how he functions. Due to his various addictions in the past he has developed some manipulative tendencies that were not there in his earlier years.

This, while not the cause of his depression, played a major part in his condition worsening as he watched his family and family friends all continue to build lives and make memories while he was on the outside, uninvolved because of his own vices and living in his own self designed hell.

Isaias has recently been doing much better. According to his family, anyway. He has recently come out of a rehab facility from an undisclosed location, and his parents have made him promise to keep his past struggles and his recent stay in rehab a secret from everyone else, lest he further taint the family name as the many rumors of his past have already done.

  Many things about the Channing boy tends to leave a lasting impression. The first is the raw amount of talent he possesses. Dabbling in just about everything to really find his niche, he's been at the very leas adept at anything he sets his mind too. He's a very smart cookie, and has a creativity that seems unbounded. However, the area he really shines is music. He truly becomes a different person whenever he's making music, whether it be composing, singing, or tinkering with an instrument (Whenever he has a bit of time, you can normally see him doing one of those). In addition, he also has a passion for music that many feel goes unrivaled due to the many times where He goes on endlessly about anything that even remotely connects to the art form.
  
  The next thing many tend to notice is just how socially inept Caesar is. Despite having the vocabulary of a dictionary, Caesar constantly overthinks what words to use. After all, slight differences in text can change the meaning entirely, and with all the slight differences in the human race, it'd be impossible to say the exact same thing to everyone and get the same result. Due to this way of thinking, Caesar becomes a shrinking violet when he's speaking to people on a personal one-on-one level. As such, this has caused him to try and avoid that intimate type of social interaction altogether. He rarely reveals how he's really feeling, and he tends to just go with the flow in order to avoid having to voice his thoughts on a matter, going to the extent of even pretending to feel a certain way about something just to change the topic. In addition, whenever he does talk, it's always slow and calculated, though it comes of in a very awkward manner.
  
  Though not immediately noticeable, due to the professional aura he tries to emit, Caesar is a bit cynical as well. He generally has a bad impression of pretty much anyone he meets, due to the true nature of their personalities being comp[lete mysteries at that point, and having seen and learned aboutmore than just a handful of examples where people screw people over and just make life worse for their fellow man, Caesar is normally skeptical of most people. In addition, knowing just how volatile his future would be if he followed his dreams just makes him feel even more cynical. As such, contributing to his socail ineptency, he holds as many cards to his chest as possible. Even those he somehow trusts completely, still have no idea of some of the things he keep hidden.
  
  The third thing one might notice is just how loyal and "family"-oriented Caesar is. Regardless of what he thinks of his friends and family, he will do whatever he can to keep them happy and running. In addition, you can be postive that he'll be trying to salvage the wedding as much as possible whenever drama akes a metaphorical chunk of sanity from everyone, though you'll have to excuse the fact that he'll no doubt be following ____ Ryder around as he causes some of said drama. Although he doesn't always show it, he loves his friends and family (maybe even loves loves for one specific individual) and he's willing to do whatever he can to keep this big extended family together.
  
  The final thing that you might notice is just how ambitious Caesar is. He's aiming to be the best, and he's always aimed to be the best. He's a perfectionist by nature, he's actively trying to portray himself in a light that draws powerful people to him, and he's rather good at perfoming on a professional sense. Whenever he doesn't feel an intimate connection with someone, it's so easy for him to forget about them as an actual person and just get through the pleasantries that it's a bit concerning how apathetic he can come across while doing so. Nevertheless, failure is not an option, not even the first time, despite his parents having told him that he can do whatever he needs to, even if that means fall a few times. As such, this causes a bit of unneccessary stress on the boy. Whenever talking about his future, you can sense a shift in the boy's demeanor that becomes more unsettling than the social awkwardness that he normally carries. After all, this is when he's most cynical as well. In addition to the already unsettling nature he can emit, he also tends to throw morals out the window (sometimes hanging from a rope sometimes not) when chasing after what he wants. This happens rarely, but it's frequent enough when it's someone who has succeeded in or tried to sabotage him first him. In other words, revenge is one of the many dishes Caesar is excellent at serving.
  
  On the bright side, however, this professional facade he created, enabled him to become more responsive and perceptive of how others are feeling. From body language, to vocabulary, Caesar's been practicing getting inside the heads of others for a while, and he passively tries to do so whenever he can. After all, it can be used to bring someone up just as much as it can to tear someone down.

  Ryder's Youngest Child
  Growing up, Caesar kept his cards closer to his chest. He had few school friends after closing himself off from a young age, and virtually none after realizing how much people sucked. Fortunately, there was someone that was able to get inside his head before it was too late: _____ Ryder. First meeting the youngest child of the Ryder's when they were super young, Caesar admired them from a young age. Just like him, they were showered with affection by everyone, but it was a different type of affection. One Caesar wasn't exactly sure of, yet. Nevertheless, Caesar has been by their side since day one, and has never left it except to go to school. (More tba)
  
  Willoughby's Youngest Child - Isaias horrorshow
  In the beginning, it was just thy mystery surrounding the boy that intrigued Caesar. After all, no one would ever flat out tell him what was going on with him, but would forbid Caesar from hanging out with the older boy. Nevertheless, Caesar stayed intrigued as he learned more of what happened from overhearing conversations, inferences, and perception. Nowadays, he wants to continue to get to know each other better. Having put together a piece of the story, Caesar not only wants to know the whole story, but let him know that he's there for him. After all, the few times they've hung out together has Caesar convinced that he's not actually the bad influence that many make him out to be. Though that may just be Caesar's own feelings talking...

  interests and hobbies.

  
  Besides the music thing, there are actually a few things that Caesar spends his time on. For one, he loves playing games, whether is a board game, video game, etc, etc. Not only does he like the infinite variety, but playing helps soothe the competitive beast inside. After all, whenever he doesn't win, he can just try again until he does. In addition, Caesar spends quite a lot of time cooking. After all, Culinary Arts is one hundred percent his second best art form. If he wasn't doing music, he'd probably become a chef. Thirdly, Caesar gets lost in all sorts of media very easily. Anime, Manga, Movies, TV Shows, Books, Fanfiction, etc. He keeps the geeky side of him at bay, but he loves escaping to other worlds. After all most of them have better people than this one. More of a disinterest than a hobby, Caesar excersizes quite a bit despite hating it. He finds it a bit too mindless for his tastes, but he does it as his need to be number one triumphs. Lastly, Caesar tends to, at the very least, mildly enjoy anything his friends and family pull him into.

  A child prodigy. A child genius. A child virtuoso.
  
  Growing up, Caesar's heard it all. Even from a young age, he showed a certain proficiency that astounded many of the people around him. Caesar didn't think much about it though. After all, from a young age, he just had a natural curiousity and enthusiasm that kept him running and improving. Everything was fun and he wanted more fun. And when you pair that with an activ emind and spirit, they really can do anything they set their mind too. That, after all, was exactly what his parents told him. As such Caesar decided to do just that: Set his mind to something.
  
  Feeling a natural connection to music, it was obvious from the beginning that Caesar enjoyed it quite a bit mroe than other things. He loved to sing and hum, he constantly tiinkered with the piano and violin, among other instruments, and was always talking about the newest song or technique he learned about. As such, his parents furthered that love by sending him to a performing arts school. Unfotunately, it opened his eyes to something a bit more sinister than they were trying to show him.
  
  Over the years at the school, Caesar watched the cutthroat tactics of the students, and even some of the teachers, to gain certain advantages and oppurtunities that arose. And due to the natural talent Caesar possessed, he was the target many times of those tactics, causing him to grow more and more weary of strangers. In the beginning, he began to lose his self-esteem and his confidence, but eventually he gave in as he learned a fundamental fact about the world of arts: It's just as much about who you know as it is what you know. But given his weariness of others, he had to be a bit more methodical in his approach to the top.
  
  As such, he became a bit more ruthless in his endeavors. Knowing there were two ways to win, he'd play up both. He'd constantly schmooze with the judges and people in charge, allowing him to get them on his side and then blow them away with his performances, giving his opponents no chance to overcome him. Then as the extra cherry on top, if he really didn't care for you, he'd find a way to make your performance "just a bit more unappealing" (read as: sabotage). As such, he made more than a few enemies, but due to the professional mask he'd wore and the creativity and intelligence used in his more appalling antics, they couldn't really get the dirt they needed to take him down. As such, Caesar not only grew up gaining more and more renown, but the skills necessary to manipulate and persuade people into thinking what he needed them to think.
  
  And now he's a junior in high school. He wants to become a big name performerm but knowing just how volatile the entertainment industry is has him hesitant. In addition, he doesn't want to end up failing and having to come back home. After all failure isn't an option. Beneath the pleasant smile he wears day to day, he's frustrated, and as the stress starts to layer on more and more, Caesar is doing his best to keep up his persona that he has it all together, when in fact, he doesn't know what to do.

My Basic Info

Name: Benjamin Ryder

Nickname: Ben/Benji

Age: 20

Sexuality: Homosexual

Gender/Pronouns: Male. He/Him

Face Claim: Robert Sheehan

Personality

Benji is someone who describes himself as "Sexy Trash". A Go with the flow kind of guy who is very much a stark contrast to his family. He loves his family....in his own way, the non-verbal way. Always quick with a surprisingly sharp tongue in contrast to his laid back "shabby" appearance, he seems to vent when riling certain people up. His "Perfect" big sister was definitely an influence on him growing up, affecting his self-confidence for years as he felt he could not compete with her.

His behaviour now aimed to frustrate and annoy his family whenever he is around them for any given amount of time. Getting a flinch, glare or even a frown is considered a win in Benji's opinion. Due to his struggles to fit in with his family (before giving up on it) he has issues with trying to commit to anything or anyone, definitely having an effect on his relationships.

Even when it came to his sexuality, he tried to label himself as Bi-sexual in some vain hope that he could fit the mold of his family. Benji tends to be someone who goes with the flow, explaining how he got into some of his wilder experiences so far.

My History

Benjamin "Benji" Ryder was born as the 1st son, 2nd child of the Ryder family. Like his siblings, he was given the best of everything. But this came with a price as Benji learnt as he grew. His family had a certain Aesthetic. He tried, like any kid wanting to fit in would do but he did not feel like himself. As he grew and entered his teens, he gave up trying to fit the mold of perfection he saw his family fitting and instead did his own thing. 2 things happened, his confidence grew but he came into more and more conflict with his family.

Did he instigate a lot of it?, probably.
Did he regret it?, sometimes.
Was it funny to annoy his sister?, god yes!.

Getting to where he is now was not easy, he went through different phases to find who he was. Due to his "wild" and "hedonistic" adventures, Benji is living a somewhat colorful life, including: Being a member of a cult for a month, being in a polygamist relationship in college, having a sugar daddy during a dispute with his parents which meant he lost his tuition.

Deep down the innocent part of Benji still longs to fit in with his family, but the grown rational part knows that he won't ever fit in fully with them.
SecretsBenji has a few secrets including:
1) Being a recreational drug user (Weed, Ecstasy etc..)
2) Being a Cam guy for cash

[Qwertycakes]

Name Jenelle Ryder
Age 17
Gender/Pronouns Female, she/her
Sexuality Heterosexual
Role Youngest Ryder child

Face Claim (realistic only or descriptions are acceptable)
Marie Southard Ospina

Personality/History
Jenelle is the apple of her parents' eye. With her cherubic, chubby cheeks and charming disposition, the Ryders always let their beloved youngest child get away with murder, and she took full advantage of this fact.

To her elder siblings' dismay, the Ryder parents seem content to let Jenelle skate through life, unlike the pressure for perfection put on the older children. As a result, she can be flippant and lazy about important things like school and career goals. She has a history of hatching schemes to get out of class and schoolwork. Creative and quick-witted, she can often con teachers and other adults into letting her slide, or convince her parents to intervene on her behalf. As such, she has managed to excel in school without much work.

Jenelle is very bubbly, fun, and outgoing. Though she has plenty of school friends/acquaintances, she is mainly seen hanging out with her lifelong best friend, Caesar Channing. She adores Caesar not just for his talent and brilliance, but can recognize his true nature as a fellow master manipulator, and find kinship in it. Jenelle is quite protective of Caesar, and can be a bit possessive of his attention.

Trouble always seems to follow Jenelle. Though she doesn't necessarily set out to break the rules (okay, maybe sometimes), she will gladly do so if they are hindering her good time, which is constantly. She has a definite disregard for authority, and is drawn to others with similarly rebellious tendencies.

Jenelle idolizes her cool, wayward older brother, Benji, and his exciting adventures. And it's a well-known fact she thinks the world of the mysterious Isaias Willoughby. She will often step up her recalcitrant behavior and antics in an attempt to gain the approval of Benji or Isaias.

Interests
Jenelle likes vintage and retro styles, and learning about the fashion of decades past. Always having a love for dance and performing, she is heavily involved in her school drama club and the local theatre group, acting in plays, helping build sets and costumes. She adores fashion, exploring and learning new sewing skills to design garments and costumes.

Secrets
Jenelle has a longtime crush on Isaias.

  Elizabeth Ryder.
  FC-Kathryn Prescott
  Youngest Ryder Child
  
• 
  Age: 17
  Gender/Pronouns: She/Her
  Sexuality: Heterosexual
  Interests and Hobbies: If you were to ask her she would say “Pissing off my parents is a full time job”. She doesn’t openly show her interests, for reasons she doesn’t quite understand herself. She does love writing, and it’s her private dream to write her own comedies.
  Likes/Dislikes: There is nothing she loves more than winning a game over her siblings. The exhilaration. The look on their faces when they realize she’ll be rubbing it in their faces until the next game she wins. This attitude has also made the worst loser on earth. One time she lost a game of chess to her father, and she tricked her mother into thinking he had an affair. She was never more grateful that her mother had given her lipstick for christmas.

  Personality: Liz, or as her teachers call her “Satan” is nothing if not difficult. She’s made her parents life hell. She’s made her school’s life hell. The only people who’s lives she hadn’t made hell were the youngest Willoughby and Channing kids. What no one, not even her friend’s knew was that there was an awkward comedy obsessed dork in there. Not to say she didn’t enjoy causing mischief, she did. It’s just that she did have other facets that she didn’t want to show in fear of leaving her vulnerable, and for some reason unable to continue being a troublemaker. History: Elizabeth was the youngest of the Ryder’s, and with it came a certain advantage. The more kids you have the less attention is paid to each. Sure there’s the novelty of an adorable child, but that wears off as the years go by. Sure she’s beloved by her parents, but she’s given much more room than her siblings. This has led to her being for lack of a better word a brat. Not in a spoiled way, just a brat. She’s always made life terrible for her family just for the fun of it, and because she can. It’s just to leave her own mark on the family, by her own terms. When Benji left for college, and became a problem child she started acting up even more. She needed to still be a thorn in everyone’s shoe. Lately her parents have been ignoring her to focus on the wedding, and that just won’t fly. She’s determined to cause this wedding as much havoc as possible, and get material for her new comedy set. Secrets: Envies the Channing’s for their laid back lifestyle. Own’s a fake ID to get into bars and do standup routines. She kills it. Has a thing for Caesar.

Name: Arianna Ryder
Age: 22
Gender/Pronouns: Female / She, Her
Sexuality: Demisexual
Role: Oldest Ryder Child
Face Claim: Ashley Benson

Personality:
Since Arianna was given everything she could ever need or want, she learned to expect that throughout the years. She expects people to give her the best, whether its a material item or just in themselves. She's got no time for fake people; she's way too busy to try and figure out your motives. Because of this, she rarely ventures outside of her already very small friend circle. She can be hard to get along with because she's outspoken and critical, though she usually means well. It just doesn't always come across that way. She's a perfectionist to the core, and has a control streak a mile wide. If you can't do what she needs you to do, move aside, she'll just do it herself. On the outside, Arianna appears to be very confident, but she struggles with major insecurities. Is she good enough? Smart enough? Pretty enough?

Interests and hobbies:
fashion | dancing | makeup | school (her grades) | running

Likes and dislikes:
(+) cardio | honest people | being first/the best | tea | organization
(-) losing | gardening | cooking | chocolate | energy drinks

Extra:
1. She longs to be more like her best friend, but has never told anyone that.
2. She self harmed during her teenage years, and though she's quit, she still thinks about it sometimes.
3. She was a dancer (yes, that kind) for the past 6 months. Someone suggested she do it, and she did. Why? Though she can't explain it, it's something to do that's specifically hers. Something she does for herself because she can and she's good at it.

Basic History:
Arianna was born first to the Ryder family, and because of this, she's always felt the need to be perfect. Even though her parents may not have said "this is the way you need to be", it was heavily implied. Her family had a certain image they wanted upheld, and Arianna was forced into this from the day she was born. Even her outfit that she left the hospital in had to be perfect, though of course she only knows this because of how many times she's heard the story. Being the oldest, she's always felt a certain responsibility to be the epitome of perfection, even disregarding her parents pressure to be that way.

In school, Arianna made near perfect grades. She didn't make true friends easily, as most people just wanted to be around her once they learned her name and found out she had money. In fact, she had one friend for years who finally came clean freshman year of high school and told Ari that she'd only befriended her for that reason, and she didn't actually like Ari. This of course hurt Arianna, but she just threw herself into her studies. She does have one best friend, though Arianna is a bit jealous of her free spirited personality and seeming lack of responsibilities.

Arianna graduated high school with honors, and then got her associates at the age of 20. She's taken a year off from college to plan her wedding, but that doesn't mean she's slowed down. If anything, she's only gotten more and more nitpicky and crazy.​

Name Nika Channing
Age 23
Gender/Pronouns Female, she/her
Sexuality Bisexual
Role Oldest Channing Child
Face Claim Kyrsten Sinclair

Personality
Nika is the eldest of the Channing children, a kind, artistic free spirit. She has a very warm and loving nature, always wanting to make others feel good. Her personal mission in life is to make everyone around her feel special and loved. She is very caring, accepting and non-judgmental, making her a great listener to unload your troubles to or confide in with a secret.

Nika comes off as the breezy, effortlessly cool girl. She gives off an earthy, witchy vibe; a neo-hippie quality evident in her penchant for nature, peace, love, and all manner of new age garbage like healing crystals and oils.



Basic History
Under all the layers of culture and sophistication, Nika is the undeniable failure of the Channing family. Nika has always been impulsive to a pernicious degree, bouncing from one half-cocked whim to the next like a manic pinball, never actually following through or accomplishing anything. If she does manage to start a new endeavor, she can't help but sabotage it immediately. It's not uncommon for Nika to ditch school or work for days at a time, running off to some exotic locale with a new lover or friends she just met. These chaotic relationships fizzle out quickly, and soon enough she's back home, ready to blissfully start the cycle anew. The bohemian Channings' laissez-faire approach to parenting always allowed this behavior to go unchecked, leaving her free to self destruct into adulthood.

She seems unaware, or unwilling to face the full extent of her issues; she'd describe herself as merely "flighty." Her parents constantly bailing her out of trouble means she rarely has to deal with the negative consequences of her actions, shielding her from the reality that she's a colossal fuck-up.

Nika has arrived at 23 as an unemployed trainwreck, leaving a string of failed relationships and careers in her wake. After flunking out of art school, she's currently sponging off her parents until she flutters off on her next flight of fancy.

Nika has a deep love and admiration for her best friend, Arianna Ryder. All their lives, Nika has followed Arianna around like a lost puppy, finding comfort and inspiration in Arianna's strength, capability, and staunch drive to achieve her goals. As they've grown up together, Nika's attraction to her best friend has only gotten stronger.

Arianna's upcoming nuptuals have Nika's unpredictable behavior at an all-time high. She has been acting uncharacteristically moody, passive aggressive to Ari's fiance, and has even started drinking more heavily to quell uncomfortable feelings she would rather not face.



Likes
fashion, drinking, parties, painting, photography, meeting new people, traveling

Dislikes
exercising, sports

Extras
Even though she has set a horrible example for them throughout the years, Nika absolutely adores her younger siblings.

She is confident and even a bit conceited, forever pouting into her phone to snap endless selfies.

Despite her irresponsible ways, she longs to be a mother (a prospect she is 100% not thinking through rationally.)

Pronounced Nee-kah

Kieran Keila Channing | 20 | Male | He/Him | Heterosexual (Bi-Curious / Questioning)
Face Claim: Lino Facioli

Personality
Kieran has always been rather intelligent, quick to understand and learn. He's quick-witted, though he often kept his remarks to himself when he was younger. He'd usually whisper his thoughts to his best friend, the middle Ryder child, who would then say them aloud for all to hear. Kieran didn't mind, though, because then his friend could get a nice little ego-boost from the laughs. And if the jokes fell short, well then, at least Kieran wasn't the one getting the blame.

Kieran never would've described himself as adventurous. As a kid, he was never one to take risks or try new things. However, a lot of that has changed in the past year or so. Traveling overseas for school was an adventure all in itself, and it has opened Kieran's eyes to a world of possibilities.

Kieran is probably the most responsible of his siblings, and almost everyone who knows him knows that he's capable of being trusted. He's honest and reliable; people have consistently called him a good person his whole life. He prides himself in having high morals, concerned with the principles of right and wrong behavior and the goodness or badness of human character. Some may even say he's a little self-righteous, the constant praise he's received over the years having gone to his head a bit. But, come on, he can't help that he's just such a good guy.

More than anything, Kieran is focused. He's concentrated on his studies and his future, and he's just now seeing all of the possibilities.

And while he intends to remain the courteous and polite boy he's always been, he's also not going to allow anyone to hold him back anymore.

Extra
Kieran has always considered himself to be straight, but a drunken kiss that he shared with a handsome Italian man while he was studying abroad has him questioning things.

Basic History
Kieran loves his family, but didn't always feel as though he fit in with their free spirits. His older sister would often tease him for acting 'robotic,' which may have been what drew him to the engineering.

He was always very close to the middle Ryder child, whose crass personality was nearly the polar opposite of Kieran's reserved demeanor. Their similar interests and awkwardness (and their families being friends, of course) brought them together, and they grew very close -- mainly because they were outcasts and no one else to turn to. Even as they got older and delved into different extra-curriculars (meaning that Kieran focused more on school and the robotics club, and his friend focused more on partying and getting high), they still always had each other's backs. The middle Ryder child was the only person that Kieran ever really considered a friend. However, they haven't seen each other in over a year. Kieran's worried he might have grown up too much to continue the friendship.

Kieran got involved in the robotics club when he was about ten. He fell in love with it immediately and went on to win many competitions across the country with his robotics team. This earned him a full-ride in the engineering program at the school of his dreams.

His sophomore year in college, he got the opportunity to study abroad in Italy -- and he took it, much to his own surprise and everyone else's.

While in Italy, he grew into someone almost unrecognizable. He became social and charming -- and happy, for once. Now that he's back in the States, he's wondering if he always had that in him -- and what kept him from being that person that he now loves being.​
