psyche

audrey's always been as sweet as honey, but when she smiles at you there's a twitch of judgement in the corners of her mouth. at least, there used to be: she was an all-american girl, a highschool dream, a stereotype straight from tv. she might never have said so out loud, but she had an air of superiority-- she was pure, she was good, she was golden. everything she did was careful, she was focused on her image and wouldn't risk anything tainting that. helpful and outgoing, she was a prominent member of several clubs and teams, and always seemed ready to do her bit and volunteer for whatever fundraiser was being organised. although she was never mean, she squeaky clean good-girl act gets grating when you're subjected to it every day.

of course, she can't glide around the halls of the school anymore, and she's fallen from grace. branded a hypocrite, audrey's cultivated persona has crumbled to reveal little more than a lost girl. starting over at 21 is difficult, but especially so when you've spent your adolescence pretending to be someone without ever taking the time to find out who you actually are. audrey's skittish, cautious, but optimistic. when you've fallen, it's freeing: she can figure things out now, mature. fortunately, being friendly wasn't a trait she invented, and she is a nice girl even beneath the facade.

history

the shells were a perfect, nuclear family: ethan, lily, their son dylan, and audrey. they were active and upstanding members of the community, heavily involved with the church, and very closeknit as a family unit. dylan, several years older than audrey, enjoyed sports and always made his parents proud with his plans to study medicine. audrey, reaping the benefits of being daddy's little girl, was doted upon and wanted for nothing. there are cracks in every marriage, of course, but ethan and lily were very much in love: everyone who met them could see that.

whereas dylan was focused on college and beyond, audrey, bless her heart, could barely wait for highschool. it wasn't just film and television that had painted her a perfect picture, but her fascination with her babysitter: clarice was a church girl too, and a cheerleader, and audrey was hooked. she taught her a lot, everything from all the best ways to braid her hair to how to paint her toenails bright blue so that they could match. audrey, little older than eleven at the time, was flattered to receive the attention of such a cool girl, and took her word as gospel.

clarice didn't just teach her about makeup and hair and school, though. in fact, she taught audrey her most valuable lesson at all: people can't always be trusted. when audrey was thirteen, she came home early from an extracurricular with a stomachache, and found clarice's blue nails digging into ethan's back on the couch.

for a while, mostly due to ethan's pleading, audrey kept her father's secret. it took almost a year of carrying the burden of the affair before audrey broke down one day in the kitchen helping her mother bake cookies for a class fundraiser, and told her everything. in her naivety, she hoped that lily would confront her husband, and he'd apologise and beg for her forgiveness, and never bring clarice around again, and that would be that. to her dismay, things didn't just go back to normal. before dylan could even return from college to comfort his mother, lily had sent ethan packing, and the family unit was shattered.

while audrey was trying to gather the pieces, she realised that everything could have been fine, if she'd just kept the truth to herself. she lied a lot after that, keeping secrets to protect the feelings of those around her as well as her own. it was easier to pretend that things were fine.

she tried to hide her pregnancy in senior year, too, until it became impossible and she had to burden her mother with yet another crushing truth. obviously she never gave up the name of the father -- at the very least, she wanted something to stay secret. audrey dropped out of the year to progress through the pregnancy within the privacy of her own home.

it was tough, but she figured she'd have the support of her friends. until they didn't come to her door, or even call. at first it was a scandal, audrey was a hypocrite, there was a buzz about just who was the baby's father. but the news cycle moved on quickly, as it always does, and by christmas most people had forgotten about her. she returned the following autumn having given the child up, redid her year quietly, and kept her head down.

now studying education, audrey's keen to get back the years she lost, and embark on a classic journey of self discovery. it's time to try new things, to not be afraid anymore.

trivia #1

babysitting gave audrey her love of children, and spending her nights doing it is one of the things she misses most from her old life; a lot of her clients, old-fashioned and obsessed with image, stopped inviting her to work.

trivia #2

audrey's apparent dislike of dramatic makeup doesn't come from a place of judgement, but actually from one of jealousy; she's never mastered the craft, and wouldn't have been allowed anyway.

psyche

the girl is a hurricane. candy oozes confidence, while being nice enough to the people around her that she manages to toe the line of arrogance without quite crossing it. she's never managed to grasp the concept that actions have consequences, and it's made her reckless and impulsive. everything candy does is for the excitement and drama of it all, she can't stay still, and she can't hold her tongue. she's the girl from the club bathroom who tells you you're beautiful and gives you advice, while also being the girl engaged in a full-scale catfight by the bar. there's something almost unreal about her: she's a character, not a person. her moments of vulnerability are rare, with maybe one or two in recorded history. you'll see her around, especially at a party, and you'll exchange numbers and have a long conversation, maybe a dance, and then she'll slip off. to go with a cliché, people know of candy, but few people know her.

history

even seemingly sleepy places like lacuna have their darker corners, and it was in one of these where candy was born. her mother danced at scores, a local club, which is where she met candy's father. crystal was in her early twenties at the time, struggling to make ends meet when she had to stop working towards the end of her pregnancy, but determined to have her baby. she hopped straight back into work as soon as she could, taking diner shifts in the daytime and spending her nights at scores: candy, of course, had to tag along.

the dressing room at scores raised candy just as much as crystal did. as a child, she found herself fawned over by the other dancers, always plastered in makeup and glitter, and quickly developed an immense admiration for her found family. the club instilled a sense of confidence into the young girl, but at the same time made her numb to less savoury aspects of the world; by the time she was ten years old, she was filing her nails while a bouncer brutally beat a customer, rather than hiding under tables the way she might've a year or so ago.

because her mother's colleagues had been so accomodating at scores, candy found it difficult to adjust to the rest of the town; she couldn't wrap her head around why some mothers whispered about crystal behind her back, and why some children didn't want her at their birthday parties. she found plenty of friends regardless, but any rejection stung, particularly in her younger years. eager to make a good impression within the community, and to become an active member, candy even tried attending church services despite lacking religious beliefs-- a few snide comments later and she was back outside, with a newfound dislike for certain groups in town.

with crystal as her role model, candy grew into a young woman with drive. never one to sit around and wait for opportunities, candy pushed herself into part-time work as a teenager to help her mother make ends meet, whilst still focusing on her schoolwork-- no need to sacrifice one for the other, she decided. obviously both aspects of her life suffered when she took the dive into the party scene (something she's privately ashamed of).

candy's been burning her proverbial candle at both ends for years now, and shows no signs of stopping.

trivia #1

though she has a license, candy hates driving: she can't ride a bicycle, so she mostly walks everywhere. for times when she's in a rush, or her heels are too high, she's got a razor scooter in the garage.

trivia #2

candy's obsessed with preening, naps, and eating raw fish. because of this, she likes to joke that she was a housecat in another lifetime, and she yearns for that.

face claim.

P

ersonality.

summary.

Bitch, thug, degenerate, delinquent, are just some of the things that she’s been called, both to her face and behind her back. Serenity, or Ren as she prefers to be called, takes it all in stride. She merely grins and agrees with those labels, wearing them with pride. ren’s a wild card with a knack for getting into trouble in some shape or form, even when she doesn’t mean to. Ren is the type to try anything twice. she can get pretty wild, especially when she’s under the influence. She’s the wrong crowd that people warn their kids about. She’s a profanity using, fight starting, lawbreaking young woman who tends to do as she pleases without a care in the world. Consequences and feelings be damned. Her level of fucks to give stays at 0% most of the time and she doesn’t care who has a problem with it. She isn’t friendly and has a mean mug that keeps strangers at a distance, just the way she likes it.

Ren is no shrinking violet, she isn’t easily cowed and one to let others walk all over her yes, ren is all bite and bark. She’s someone who rather blunt and loud about how she feels. ren isn’t scared of confrontation, in fact, she welcomes it with a grin and fists ready even if it ends with a bloody mouth and bruised hands. She looks forward to it even, using it as a way to release all her negative emotions, the sadness, the anger, and hopelessness inside of her. Her temper is something to watch out for. Her mouth can be reckless due to her bluntness, it has gotten her into a lot of trouble over the years.

There is no secret soft side to her, or at least that’s what she tells herself, Ren is how she is and doesn’t plan on changing for anyone. She’s a firm believer in looking out for herself. because that’s the only one who has her back. Due to her behavior many people believe that ren is just a brash and unintelligent girl, which is far from the truth. When she’s actually interested in something that she's learning ren thrives and is a fast learner at that. She has plenty of street smarts as well ren isn’t someone who can be played for a dummy or easily tricked. Being forced to grow up fast means that she’s independent and doesn’t really rely on others, she’s a crafty young woman.

positive traits.

Bold, Enthusiastic, Adventurous, Adaptable, Independent.

negative traits

Blunt, Quick-Tempered, Impatient, Confrontational, Impulsive.

likes.

Parties, Joyriding, Horror Movies, Stiletto Nails, Gossip, Fighting, Chocolate Haze

dislikes.

Cops, Snitches, Boredom, Mornings, Killjoys, Pushy People

H

istory.

Ren is a prom night baby, having been conceived during her parent’s senior prom. Their relationship was strained after her mother, Rochelle, discovered that she was pregnant. Ren's father was in and out of her life, oftentimes only seeing her a few times a month and after a while, even less than that. Ren's mother spent her time working and caring for her daughter. though their relationship was also strained as she secretly blamed Ren for how things went down between her and her baby daddy. Rochelle was bitter about losing her youth, wasting it on caring for a child all by herself. She would often leave her daughter with her sitters in order to go out and party or do whatever she pleased. As a result Ren was left alone, which caused her to become independent. It wasn't long before she became a street rat, staying out late at night for a few days even, as her mother would often “forget” to pick her up.

Things changed when her father suddenly became more involved in her life, spending time with her and dropping her off to school. Life was bliss. She never complained about the strange people who approached her after school or when they approached them when they were spending time together. Didn’t take note of her father reaching into her backpack for the little bags of white stuff or in her pockets to give to the people. She was only told that she was helping take care of the house, of her and her mother. So when one day she was pulled aside by police and her backpack confiscated, she broke down. She had been used as a drug mule the entire time and her father was sent to prison, never to be seen again.

Ren became quiet for a while, still in shock and dealing with emotions she never had to before. The community she lived in was a harsh one, looking down on signs of weakness. Her own mother did little to comfort her. and the authorities viewed her as a criminal like many other children in her community. She wasn’t viewed as a little girl who had been through something traumatic. As she grew older Ren donned the title like a cape, a shield to use against others.the world already viewed girls like her as aggressive, saw them as adults far before they actually were.

Artem can be perceived as being stuck-up or even rude sometimes, but she has always held herself in high regard when it comes to confidence. Even on bad days, the girl would hold her head up and fake it which was something her mother taught her. She’s never been one to show her emotions or weaknesses to others, which is probably how she ended up on the road to addiction because she’s too scared to be seen as weak.

history

Artem Hale was born into the perfect family. They were loving and always there for her, and honestly kind of enabled her a bit which is why she grew into who she is now. Artem is the president of one of Lacuna University’s sororities and is known for her perfect demeanor and looks. Though she is little, she’s also got a bite to her so crossing her wouldn’t be wise. She’s always been one to have a good time, especially now that she’s nineteen and not living with her parents, so partying has always been one of her favorite pastimes.

What threw her off though, was the perfect family suddenly turning into that of nightmares. After an affair by her dad with the neighbor, her mother immediately called for a separation. She got most of the money and her dad was left with almost nothing. Since Artem was in school, she only had to choose who to see during holidays, and the obvious choice was her mother considering the whole money thing and who was paying for her classes.

Eventually though, she did talk to her father who had quickly turned bitter and wanted nothing to do with her. To him she never came around, so why would he try so hard for a relationship that she obviously didn’t want? Of course, Artem tried to argue and explain herself, but he only yelled more which made the girl run back to school and to her mother. Her father practically hated her and her mom was so high on pills all the time that she wasn’t even getting attention there.

What Artem needed was therapy, but what she found was alcohol and painkillers instead. Partying turned into a lifestyle for her and she ended up dropping being president as she couldn’t handle the responsibilities. She’s still a part of her sorority, because her mother would lose it if she quit completely, but she’s slowly losing friends and letting her grades slip.

eatures.

hair

Curly dark brown hair that is styled longer on the top and shorter on the sides. His current dye color of choice is green, which fades with every wash as the roots grow out. He cuts and colors it himself, so the ends tend to be split and uneven. He has plenty of hats but a habit of losing combs, which leaves his hair tangled more often than not.

eyes

Brown eyes which turn black in the shade and amber in the sun.

skin

Sandy-colored, with the skin on his face prone to oiliness, as he's only recently grown out of his teenage acne. He has a mole above his lip, and scars from childhood scrapes and memories of rowdy basement rock shows.

Height

6'0"

build

Reese has a slim build, with thin legs and narrow shoulders. He has a hard time building and maintaining muscle mass, not that he's ever put much effort into doing so. Instead, his body is mostly made up of bony limbs and a soft stomach.

style

Reese can be seen in ripped jeans, chipped black fingernails, and t-shirts donning the logos of his favorite bands. He’s partial to wrinkled flannel shirts and well-worn hoodies, and he has a habit of holding onto his Chuck Taylor’s even when they’re far past their prime.

Body mods

He has a tiny hole just below his mouth from where his lip ring used to be. He also has a hole in each of his earlobes. They are slightly larger than what might be standard for a normal piercing, as they are the remnants of a failed attempt to stretch his lobes in middle school. The left side of his torso, over his ribs, is dedicated to stanzas of tattooed song lyrics.

face claim

P

syche.

Personality

Reese rarely lowers his voice when he speaks, nor does he wait his turn. He’s never made a habit of asking for permission, and his flippant disposition and rebellious history reflect that. He’s most identifiable for his smart-ass attitude and his obvious love for punk rock, both of which he's proud to wear. He communicates mainly through sarcasm and middle fingers, so if he tends to come off as a bit of a jerk sometimes, that's just fine by him.

For those who get to know him, however, his eyerolls will hold more endearment than annoyance, and he’ll trade his smirk for a grin. There’s no doubt that he has a sense of humor, and there isn’t much that he won’t laugh off. He has an aversion to seriousness, and since he’s still stubbornly in no hurry to grow up on his own, anyone who wants to waste their time and get into trouble can bet that he’ll be up for it.

Reese is made up of a conflicting combination of self-pity and a superiority complex. He tends to put himself on a pedestal, and keeping everyone below him serves to hold them all at a distance. Though most might pick up on Reese’s proneness to brutal honesty and impulsive recklessness, he’s quick to lie if it means that he gets to keep his hard truths to himself. Though he keeps his volume turned up to ten, he knows just how low he can fall. His selective hearing isn't only applicable to his music taste, and he'd rather ignore anything he that doesn't want to hear if it means that he doesn't have to face it head on.

Although his jabs generally amount to nothing more than a sarcastic remark tossed over his shoulder, he is more than capable than being cruel, especially since he’s never cared to hold his tongue. He still has his teenage anarchist personality, and whether he’s a fun asshole or an irritating one is something that he leaves up to one’s individual interpretation.

positive traits

humorous - adventurous - passionate - creative - energetic - protective

negative traits

immature - judgemental - stubborn - rude - resentful - defiant - irresponsible

likes

punk rock - horror movies - late nights - breakfast cereal - friendly dogs - documentaries

dislikes

seriousness - routine - authority - popular crowds - boredom - mainstream music - vegetables - academics - parties - new clothes

h

istory.

Though Reese and Riley Hendricks were born side-by-side, upon first impressions, one would more likely assume that they had come from different worlds. Riley was welcomed first, quickly and quietly, her voice barely raised past a whimper, as though she was too shy to want to disturb anyone in the hospital. Her twin brother, Reese, however, came out screaming. As it turns out, their first few moments alive would set the scene for what the dynamic of what the Hendricks twins would look like.

If Reese was the moon, Riley was the sun. Whereas his eyes were dark, her’s were nearly gold, and she had long, straight hair that grew in contrast to Reese’s tangled curls. Reese grew to develop a quick tongue and even quicker feet, and he treated the local Lacuna streets like a racetrack. The adults knew to keep an eye out for the boy without a helmet who never seemed to slow down until he ran into something. While Riley was filling countless coloring books with beautiful crayon drawings, Reese took to the walls, using spray paint as his preferred medium. He found a love for all things loud at the same time his sister learned to read her favorite books, and while she spent hours between pages, he kept his amp turned up to ten.

By the time they reached middle school, Reese with his acne and Riley with her braces, it was clear that Riley was the favorite by both their teachers and their parents. While Reese had no shortage of resentment for those adult figures in his life, he almost couldn’t blame them for that. Riley was his favorite, too.

As the years went on, Reese and Riley stayed close. She drew him posters of his favorite bands, and he let her use his acoustic guitars as a canvas. She could paint his nails if she let him color her hair, and whether the conversation centered around books or music, the other listened. She taught him how to mix color palettes, and he taught her all the curse words he knew. Riley helped Reese pass his classes, and in turn, he made sure that she never ate lunch alone. Their conflicting personalities and close proximity meant that fights came easily and often, but each time, they were quickly forgotten without the need for spoken apologies.

In highschool, both were far from popular, albeit for different reasons. Riley enjoyed the book clubs while Reese tolerated detention, which kept both of them pretty far under the radar. Riley was notoriously smarter than Reese, and since she knew that her brother’s future post-highschool plans didn’t reach farther than the six strings of his guitar or the basements where he and his friends bloodied each other’s noses, she begged him to enroll into Lacuna University with her, where she had decided to go to school. Though Reese was more than ready to ditch school and the entire town as a whole, he wasn’t ready to leave his sister, so he eventually agreed. For all of their differences, Riley was just as stubborn as Reese, and so instead of just having him agree to enroll with her, she made him promise. And he did.

Reese didn’t take their last day of high school too seriously, but to Riley, it was a big deal. The night of their graduation, Reese found Riley just as she was heading out the door, car keys in hand. She was going to a party, her first one ever, and she wanted her brother to go with her. He’d scoffed at her, turned up his nose, rolled his eyes, and stayed behind.

The rest of the night blurred between the last time he saw her and the phone call. It wasn’t that he couldn’t remember where he was or what he was doing, but that he couldn’t forget where he wasn’t, and that was with his sister, who took the wrong drug at the wrong party on the day that he became an only-child overnight.

Now, in a reality that he’s never imagined himself having to adjust to, Reese is doing everything he can to pretend that nothing has changed. He keeps his headphones blaring, delivering pizzas by bike to avoid encountering his empty passenger seat. While he hasn’t really decided to keep going to the college that he was supposed to attend with his sister, he also hasn’t decided to drop out, which means that he’s been struggling through semesters without direction or motivation, having now found himself stuck grieving in a town that he’s always dreamed of getting out of.
