Personality
Riley is a sweet friendly girl who seems to make friends wherever she goes. She is the a great listener and will always be there when a friend needs her. She gives good advice and can be described as a sort of agony aunt. Riley hates to see anyone upset or left out and will do her best to make everyone feel welcomed. She has a great sense of humour and while she is not overly funny she tries to be, she is never seen without a smile. On the other hand Riley is spontaneous, sarcastic and very stubborn once she gets an idea in her head it is hard to talk her out of it, in this sense she can be described as reckless, she tends to dive into problems and ideas headfirst and ignores the consequences until they arrive. She is a fun loving girl and is always up for a party or an adventure. She loves exploring new places and seeing new things. She can get quite restless and prefers to be doing something rather than just sitting around staring at the wall.

History
Riley was born on the 25th of November in Dublin, Ireland. Riley was the youngest of the family with two older brothers. She had a pretty normal childhood in Ireland but when she was ten her fathers job relocated him to LA, California. The family moved and left all their family, friends and memories behind. Riley absolutely loved California, she wanted to become an actress when she was older so moving here was the best thing that could happen as far as she was concerned. Riley started school mid-term and when her first year there she managed to get on the bad side of the Queen Bee of the school who made the rest of the year a living hell for her.

She has a panic disorder with unknown triggers, and because of her past, she is unwilling to trust right away. This can make her seem cold or hostile when first met.

BIOGRAPHY
History:
Roxanna grew up on a farm in eastern Kansas. Her mother died in childbirth, so it was always just her father and herself. She grew up very close with her small family. Roxanna spent most of her childhood running around on the farm, being a typical kid. She played in the mud, rode horses, and swam in the pond. Her father taught her how to grow her own food, raise animals, fix tractors, and do pretty much anything that needed to be done around the farm. When she was eight years old, her father remarried to a woman who hated children and didn't want Roxanna to get in the way of her marriage. While she treated her father and grandmother like royalty, she both mentally and physically abuse Roxie every day. Roxanna took a job at the local diner at the age of 16 to become a waitress. She told her story to some of the regulars and a few close friends, whom always tipped over 20% when they visited her.

Roxie's father died of cancer recently, leaving her to feel like it was somehow her fault she couldn't protect him from her stepmother. The stepmother got everything: the farm, the livestock, and the estate. And she refused to give anything to her stepdaughter. Roxanna was forced out of the house with only the things in her bedroom. Currently, she's living wit her cat Clementine in a small studio apartment near a college campus where she studies zoology, and works for a local club as a bartender. Roxanna thinks of herself as a useless waste of space. She feels at fault for not telling her dad about her stepmother, she feels that he should've known what that woman was doing to her. She blames herself for his cancer, and for the lack of care her stepmother gave him when he was diagnosed and dying. She blames herself for his death. Roxanna was told her almost entire life by her stepmother that she wasn't important and worth anything. She ended up believing it. When she found out about this trip, she decided to go and relax, maybe help get her mind off of her daily life and her past. Roxanna hopes to make new friends and meet some new people that understand her.

Hometown: Winfield, KS (but now lives in Los Angeles, CA for school)

[Noivian]

Name: Isaac Luis Silvergate
Nickname (optional): Luis
Age (21-29): 25
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Pansexual Panromantic
Birthday: March 25th

Personality: Luis is very easygoing and chill, to the point where it seems like he isn't even present in the current moment. The other appropriate titles for this guy would be 'the Hippie' and 'the Druggie', as he tends to either be high or getting high as a very poor coping mechanism. He can often be hedonistic or enabling to those around him, encouraging them to not only do what they want, but sometimes pushing them to test their limits. Despite this, he doesn't consciously pressure people into doing things they shouldn't do. Luis is more of a 'go with the flow' and 'always say yes' kind of guy, meaning he'll do just about what anyone wants to do. When high, he'll often talk about the weirdest things or lay on some very profound philosophy.
Likes: Playing guitar, sweets, cooking, his little brother, parties, drugs, alcohol
Dislikes: Fighting, his parents, being sober, sour foods, bitter foods
Quirks: Is usually smoking, or fidgeting somehow
Theme song:



History:Isaac, or as he prefers to go by Luis, was born to two unidentified Chinese parents, and quickly abandoned at an American-run orphanage in China. He lived there, learning English, Mandarin Chinese, math and science until the age of fifteen when he was adopted into the upper class American Silvergate family. On the surface, the adoption seemed like a work of charity, a point that Luis despised. After going through the process of changing Luis' name to what is is now, Luis started to get accustomed to life in the states. He acclimated to the culture well, and even got to attend a normal high school.

However, all was not well at home. His adoptive brother, Jonah, was adamantly against their parents, and the more Luis looked, the more Luis realized that his adoption wasn't an act of charity or pity. It was an effort to replace Jonah as the heir to the family wealth and company. Jonah was anything but the perfect child the Silvergates wanted, with his physical deformities and promiscuous behavior. As such, Jonah often got into heated verbal debates with their father. The arguing would often turn violent, curses and strikes carrying through the house along with their mother's crying. Around the age of seventeen, Luis turned to drugs to drown out the sounds of the dysfunctional family downstairs, and an overwhelming feeling that he didn't belong here. He'd often sneak out at nights to go smoke in the local grocery store parking lot with his clique.

When Jonah was fifteen, he was shipped off to their grandparents' farm for a kind of reformation effort started by Jonah's dad. Meanwhile, Luis was alone and the sole attention of his adoptive parents. It didn't take long for them to find out about his smoking habits, and often Luis would fall victim to his adoptive father's wrath. A year later, Jonah got in touch with Luis and had him move out to New York City with him after running away from his grandparents on his uncle's money. They've been living as roommates in an apartment in NYC ever since.

PERSONA

Personality:
Dante is your typical beach boy. But then not the cocky version, which some people link to that nickname. Anything that involves nature or animals is something he's interested in and knows a lot about. Besides that, he's someone who won't say no to a challenge. He likes the kick and thrill of rather dangerous situations and isn't afraid easily. But, Dante is always careful. Overprotective is a good and bad trait of him, it makes him jealous easily but also loyal to the people who stand close to him. He can be slightly aggressive which can lead to fights. But those happen rarely. Don't worry talking to him, he wouldn't harm a fly normally.

BACKSTORY

History:
Dante was originally born in Casares, Spain, but has been living in places all over the world since he was around four. The job of his father, Manuel Reyez, moved the main office quite a few times which made the family move also. It's part of the deal right? Dante didn't mind it that much, only the first time. The times after that he knew the situation he would end up into and how to deal with them. Because of the frequent changes, he didn't really have the time to make long lasting friends. Only one of the many 'friends' he made is still in touch with him over the internet. But the good side of this story is, is that Dante had plenty of time to develop himself into different types of hobbies. Scuba diving is one of the many things he learned to do. He picked this up during his time in Indonesia and eventually made his job of it. At the end of the day, was all the moving that bad? Yes it had bad sides, but also many good ones.

Wes grew up in his little town in Alabama hardly being able to go farther then Panama City Beach in Florida. He grew up with both his parents and his older brother and sister. He was the biggest out of the group but he felt the littlest a lot by comparison to his siblings. Even though their parents loved them equally Wes always felt like he never had his own accomplishments that equaled his sibling. This lead him to prove to himself after he graduated Highschool that he'd do better and live more than his siblings even if he wasn't quite sure how to yet, but with the trip he finally was able to go out and live a little. So it's goodbye for now to his modest apartment in Chatanoga and hello to the beaches of Hawaii.

Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Birthday: July 24th
View attachment 322227

Personality

View attachment 322230 Personality: Marnie is famously shy and quiet not being having the easiest time talking to people, but once you do talk to her she's extremely gently and quite kind. She's ambitious and has great loyalty to her friends especially since there aren't usually many of them. Being so shy has also caused the girl to be quite meek and come off a bit nervous in social situations. Her shyness also causes her to be a bit of a heavy drinker in party situations which helps her come out of her shell. The blonde is also quite the athletic health nut despite her love for sweets, keeping her body in tip top shape.
Likes:
- Dancing
- Tea
- Books
- Running
- Cooking
- Candy
Dislikes:
- Large Groups
- Sitting around
- Bitter Foods
- Conflict
- Being put on the spot
Quirks: Marnie has always had a bit of a stutter when she's first talking to new people due to her nerves, she also bites the inside of her cheek and picks her nails if her nerves get really bad. When she's not nervous though she taps her fingers off whatever surface her hand is on.
Theme song:

Additonal Info

History: Marnie grew up in what was basically a trailer with her mom and 3 older brothers after her dad died in the military. Now her three older brothers loved their little sister but because the family was tight on money they often weren't home when she was going through school, working whatever jobs they could find so she spent a lot of time with their drunk of a mother and her many asshole boyfriends. The men would always be drunk or high and would either throw themselves at the young girl or throw her around, leaving the many faint scars she has on her body. In all this time of abuse and heartbreak the only place the quiet girl discovered dancing. Being on stage and using her body to create art became her world and it was the one place where she felt safe and felt brave. Since she spent so much time practicing and practicing to stay away from her life at home she ended up getting noticed by a dance school in New York, where she then moved to live out her dreams of dancing. New York is expensive but it's away from her mother and her terrible boyfriends so the shy girl picked up a job as a dance teacher to help pay for her classes as well as living in a cheap ampartment in Hells Kitchen.
Home town: St.Petes Beach, Florida (Previously), New York, New York (Currently)
Occupation: Dance teacher and hopeful professional dancer

Name: Skylar Hansen
Nickname (optional): Sky
Age (21-29): 22
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Birthday: April 17th

Personality: Skylar's personality changes depending on her mood. Similarly, her personality is different depending on who she is around; if she likes a person or feels comfortable with them she'll be her bubbly, fun-loving, and friendly self. Her emotions are written on her sleeve, as she is usually a very open and honest person; she'll be stand-offish or straight up ignore anyone she doesn't like. She loves to adventure and will take anyone who is willing to have fun along with her. However, her stubbornness can get her into trouble often. In her book, it doesn't matter whether something is illegal or not, as long as it's fun and thrilling at the time.

Quirks: She tends to fidget with things she finds interesting and blurt out English slang when she's angry

History: Skylar was born and raised in London, England. She often spent her time studying other areas of the world in awe of what she'd never experience personally. Even though the city of London had its perks, she wanted to explore her options. Her love for travel landed her a chance to go oversees to finish her studies in America. The American life she experienced was completely different than the life she had led in England. Sure, journalism studies were great, but the parties and people she met really made it worthwhile. The only thing she could complain about was her current occupation in America.

Leo came to love his new life at college and easily made plenty of friends since he was basically a giant harmless bear that enjoyed having a good time.
