Virtues​

{Selfless} Eliza is good to her core. Always putting the well-being and happiness of others above her own, she's never one to do much complaining or bragging. She has strong morals and one of her most important beliefs is in the power of kindness. She's quick to burden herself if it means helping someone, and takes pride in producing laughs and smiles. While this sounds like a wonderful trait to find in a friend, it often ends up draining Eliza. She puts all of her energy into bettering the world around her and does little to better herself or her own situation. So it's lovely to know her, but not so lovely to be her.

{Passionate} Both a blessing and a curse, passion is one of the first things new people notice about Eliza. She dedicates herself to every cause and every person that she deems worthy. In relationships, she yearns for deep meaningful connections and allows her partner to completely explore her soul, hoping for the same privilege in return. When she cares, she does so intensely, and it really isn't a dependent thing so much as a respect thing. Eliza gets behind her interests with full force, so she prefers to spend a lot of time around her best friends and significant others. Outside of her love life, her passion shows the kind of dedication you find in mega-politicians, but she's decided to take the opposite route and use her emotions for good, to better the world instead of trying to control it.

{Dreamer} Though it may seem at times that Eliza is spacing out, it's probably quite the contrary. Eliza has many big ideas on how to make the world a better place, and she's constantly creating new plans to do so. Some of these ideas may seem outlandish and impossible, but if anyone can get them done, it's Eliza. She enjoys Buddhism and Science, and her beliefs always fall somewhere in the middle. Daydreamer's tend to also love listening to the ideas of others, and this trait did not pass Eliza. She's always wondering how others think, and she's quick to offer you a cup of warm herbal tea, twist you up into a yoga pose, and ask you to open up to her.

{Strong-Willed/Intelligent} Despite her rather reserved and proper nature, Eliza manages to be very decisive and strong-willed. It's difficult to convince her of something she's already made her mind up about, though if she's presented with hard facts, it isn't entirely impossible. She's intelligent and independent, causing her to be pretty comfortable with herself and making it hard to be talked into anything she doesn't want to do or suffer from peer pressure. For the most part, she's always pretty sure she's the correct one so she very rarely changes her mind on anything.

Vices​

[Emotional] In the whirlwind of passion and ecstasy that Eliza provides, there are bound to be some down sides. In this case, her biggest flaw is her inability to control her emotions. Eliza tends to take things too far, be it her protests, her projects, her personal relationships, or her work. She puts her all into everything she does, and when something doesn't work out she takes it to heart. Not a fan of complaining, she'll never ask you to listen to her current troubles, but while she's dealing with them, don't expect much sunshine out of her.

[Overbearing] Stemming from her strong will, Eliza can also be pushy when it comes to things she believes in. If an individual decides to spend time on Eliza, in time they will come to learn that she rarely takes no for an answer. She assumes she is always in the right, and this leads to her believing she knows what is best for those around her. While she won't lecture strangers about their choices per se, she will most definitely obnoxiously push her friends. If Eliza shows you her favorite band and you don't like them, she will force their music on you given any opportunity to do so, until you get angry or agree that they are talented. In more extreme cases, this trait unfortunately causes her to lose a lot of friends, but those that stick around can eventually find it endearing.

[Particular] It's Eliza's way or the highway. She's an extremely picky woman, always striving for perfection and looking for new ways to improve the world around her. She's got an eye for detail and every single one has to be exact or everything is ruined. This makes finding romantic interests or close friends rather difficult, as she's even picky on who she wastes her time on. She spends most nights at the bar meeting new people and trying to dive into as many souls as she can, but the number of people she actually goes out of her way to keep up with and check-up on is limited. She needs to surround herself with like-minded individuals, and exclusively finds herself enjoying the company of open-minded, interesting but laid-back peers.

[Odd] It's not exactly a secret at this point that Eliza is a rather strange girl. She's relatively quiet and reserved and usually has her back bent over a novel. She dresses like a kindergarten teacher by choice and is always on some new kind of strike or boycott. She takes care of the environment and online you'll find that she's an obnoxious social justice warrior. With all of that said, she still manages to push peoples buttons as a rather abrasive and opinionated girl. It's difficult to really pin Eliza down, and although she sees it as being unique, it's often too much for others to want to put up with.

[Careless] Though it seems impossible for anyone to be both passionate and careless, Eliza is an exception. She's wildly compassionate towards people and her work, but she tends to be so selfless and passionate that it often gets her into trouble. She's no stranger to the police in town, having been arrested on multiple occasions for standing up for her beliefs no matter what. For the most part, the local police office likes her, though. She's never actually been processed or put in jail, but they all know her by name now. In short, Eliza doesn't mind what happens to her if it means better advocacy. This bleeds over into being overbearing as well, because she will push her cause and ideals on anyone, regardless of whether they asked for them or not.

H i s t o r y
​

History: Eliza grew up with nannies in the place of parents, and a best friend in her sister, Amelia. Both of their parents are powerful lawyers so while they grew up comfortable and pampered, the cost they paid was the chance at any sort of relationship with their mother and father. At a young age Eliza developed a thirst for knowledge. She could read better than she could speak, but that was in part due to a speech impediment that she was given special education classes to correct. The child had a very difficult time making friends in her early school years because she was too shy, and had trouble communicating with others, so she spent a large majority of her childhood hidden inside books.

In her pre-teen years she finally overcame her speech impediment. Then, with the help of braces to fix crooked teeth and a newfound sense of unity in her scholastic decathlon team, Eliza finally flourished and began to find herself. While she related to peers that liked to learn and explore, her sister found solace in peers that liked to experiment with social boundaries, and in turn the two of them grew apart inside the walls of their academics. Though she will always consider Amelia her best friend, it was in these years that Eliza grew to accept others as friends as well. She excelled academically and began taking AP classes and worrying about college opportunities while her peers were popping pimples and learning to party. When high school rolled around, Eliza was uncomfortable with herself for the first time in her life. She developed insecurities and became unusually over-dramatic and hard to be around. Balancing the stress of keeping perfect grades and juggling anything resembling a social life proved difficult for the teenager, and she found herself rather lonely in the end. By this time she really only had conversations with her sister off school grounds, and even then Amelia has cooler friends that Eliza assumed she would rather be spending time with. As most hormonal young girls do, Eliza entered a rough patch full of teenage angst.

It was during the angst ridden years that she discovered activism, though. She found a way that she could be heard; a way that she could make a difference and be something more than a quiet nerd. She began with letters to the mayor and when a couple of them actually yielded results, she was hooked. Eliza went on to study ecology and sociology in college, which she attends Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and makes money in various different ways through activism on weekends.

In her freshman year of college at the young age of nineteen, Eliza eloped with Ben Maylard, a twenty-one year old artist that she met through mutual friends. It was love at first sight; something straight out of a fairytale. He tagged along to all of her protests and helped decorate her picket signs, and she was a wonderful muse for his art. They got along great and secretly eloped after dating for two months, and knowing each other for three. Unfortunately Ben was a 'free spirit' who didn't believe in deodorant or making money. Eliza worked tirelessly to keep them out of debt, and while their love was strong and intense, eventually all of her cute habits and endearing mannerisms became obnoxious and annoying. Needless to say, the spark disappeared quickly and after a year of trying to make it work, their marriage was annulled. Ben was only the third guy Eliza has dated, and he also happens to be the last.

A p p e a r a n c e​

Appearance: Blessed with fair, clear skin and dark hair, she is often complimented on beauty comparable to a porcelain doll. Though her face is fairly longer than average and her nose too small and narrow, her hazel eyes and delicate brows usually distract from them. Eliza has what she refers to as 'resting dumb face' which is really just a humorous way to refer to the soft and innocent but rather blank natural state of her features.

As for make-up, Eliza doesn't believe in spending money on products that are unnecessary, over-priced, and usually tested on animals. She moisturizes really well and hopes for the best when it comes to her face. For formal occasions she's been known to attempt lipsticks but she's terrible at it and usually ends up wiping it off in the bathroom before the night is over. She does try to take care of her hair though, and its naturally frizzy state calls for various cruelty-free products to tame it. Normally she'll leave it five or six inches past her shoulders and loose, though she is a big fan of messy top buns, and about three times a week she's sporting one instead

bbcode tba but here's david

Name:
David Anderson

Age:
28

Gender:
Male

Sexuality:
Bisexual

Appearance:
David has a very fierce, almost scary look to his face. His dark, almost black, eyes and angular features make him look intimidating and fearsome. His pale skin often gets him mistaken for a vampire, and his long dark hair is a sign that he's very in tune with his looks. He is quite tall, standing at 6'7' and has very good posture and stance. Although he is fairly fit due the fact that he walks constantly and hauls beer crates everywhere, he isn't very muscular; though he is slightly toned. His hair is just above shoulder length and it matches the color of his beard, which he keeps neat and short.

He has a slender frame that he dresses with loose clothing, cotton shirts and plain t-shirts. He doesn't experiment much with fashion. At work, there isn't a specific uniform, but there is a dress code, and so he wears a dark black shirt and black jeans. He mostly sticks to wearing dark boots or sneakers, but he'll occasionally change to dress shoes if he's feeling fancy. He always has a permanent subtle smell of Hugo Boss cologne. Underneath his shirt, resting on his collarbones, you'll find a necklace with a gold cross, he's not religious, but it's the only thing he has left of his mother.

Personality:
Vices:
- Moody: David is in a constant bad/grumpy mood, or so it seems. He always seems to have a slight frown on his face, and a bored look in his eyes like he doesn't want to be there. If you see him smile, consider it a once in a life time opportunity, because even when he laughs his mouth doesn't seem to change from that slight frown. David is always in another world, his own world; his head. He's never fully present in the moment and he is never there to have fun. He's always above everyone else, like their worlds are childish and boring and present no opportunity to him.
- Closed: David has never opened up to anyone. Not even his beloved Mother, so don't expect him to open up even a tiny bit. All of his thoughts and insecurities and troubles are in his head, stuck there, unable to escape. He's been like that always. He has never known how to express his feelings and they build up sometimes so much that he wants to just explode and tell everyone his deepest, darkest secrets. But he goes out, finds an attractive person and sleeps with him. That's his coping method. But it's power is becoming less and less and the one night stands only seem to add to his problems.
- Intimidating: With David's good looks and deep voice, he can be intimidating, which is difficult when you work in customer service. However, on the job, he finds a way to work his looks to be more mysterious and endearing than scary. But, if he lets his guard down, he is distant and pushy and slightly passive aggressive. He doesn't want to let anyone into his thoughts, so he makes sure that no one wants to see them in the first place.
- Unfeeling: Although David does have an overwhelming sense of empathy, he chooses not to show it. It's just another way of distancing people from him. He tries to stay logical in emotional situations, so if someone comes to him crying, he'll offer clear, concise advice, when he really wants to give them a hug or a shoulder to cry on. His poker face has become so overwhelming that he often believes himself that he has no feelings.
- Controlling: David likes things his way; with people, drinks, food; every aspect of his life has to be how he wants it. So if that means manipulating a few things, then so be it. David likes to be comfortable, in his job, in his apartment and in his relationships. Comfort for him is alone time, so he has to be extra mean to people who wont leave him alone or extra charming to his landlord when he needs a rent drop.




Virtues:
- Independent: David likes to be on his own, and so he's gotten rather good at it. He can do anything by himself, and prefers to. He never had anyone to rely on, so he had to do his own thing from a young age. He has no fear when it comes to social situations and being an adult. Sometimes, he's even too independent because he never accepts help or asks for it when he needs it.
- Listener: David is brilliant at looking at things logically, so he can provide amazing advice for problems; like any good bartender should. He will listen to any story someone has to give him, and he sort of substitutes their stories for his own life. He feels their emotions through their words. However, he doesn't let their feelings effect him, which is why he's so good at listening and giving advice.
- Handy: David can fix almost anything, but his specialty is cars. His uncle was a mechanic and he spent a lot of time around cars and gears and tools. If you need him to do something, just ask him, and he's happy to hand out his services. He never asks for payment, only a favor in return; if he ever needs it. And if you're hot; maybe your phone number.
- Generous: David works as a bartender; so he is hardly swimming in cash, but if someone needs a few dollars, or their fridge fixing or some advice, he'll always give as much as he can without asking for thanks. No one ever helped him out, so he wants to do his bit for the world by showing a little generosity. Although he does it with a grumpy face, he's never shy about helping people.
- Calm: Through years and years of practice at pushing down his visible emotions, David can stay calm in any situation. He has an amazing ability to think through things step by step, and so under panic and pressure he works incredibly well. However, this also means that in energized and fun situations, he can be seen as dull or boring, but really, he's just waiting for chaos to erupt.

Background:
David's parents weren't the best. His Father was the head of a city newspaper, and for a short while, his work was good and it brought in money to support his family, but when David was three, sales started to go down because a city magazine had come out and had stole the limelight. David's father, Antony, got greedy, very greedy and started to sell lies and invaded people's privacy. It was around this time that he became abusive.

Antony was never physically abusive, as far as David knew, but he was mentally abusive and manipulative. He would try to convince Connie (David's Mother) that she was crazy and he'd move her things around so that she would think that she was losing her mind. Antony would always shove David away and tell him he was too feminine and that he should want to play football or basketball; not read old books and listen to 'girly' music. Antony broke David and Connie down every day. He did it because he had no control over his business, and he needed control of something, and so his family became the target.

When David was eight, he came home from school and he remembers the exact words his father said, "Mommy's sick, so she's gone away; if you don't start being normal, I'll send you away too, kid. Capeesh?" He found his mother's room emptied; the only thing left was her gold cross. David wore it everyday. After his Mother's 'removal', David became more and more isolated. His Dad got him a private tutor and so he didn't make any friends. No one seemed to care; except Connie's bother, Andrew. After David went MIA for a few months, Andrew came up to the house when Antony wasn't in and David begged him to take him away, of course, he couldn't, not right away, but Andrew never gave up the fight. He wanted Connie's kid to be looked after. He'd already lost his sister to Antony, he wouldn't lose his nephew too.

When David was ten, Andrew won successful custody of him. Andrew's place was a lot smaller than Antony's mansion, but at least Andrew gave a shit. David started high school with a happier mindset and a more loving home. He learned how to fix cars with his uncle and he felt more accepted. Especially when he had the 'conversation' with his uncle. At first, David thought he was gay, and he came out to his uncle when he was fifteen. But, he started to realize that he liked girls too, and it was only when he was older he labelled himself as bisexual.

When David was nineteen, Andrew died. He left David a little bit of money, but not enough to go to college or to do much, but he sold Andrew's house and started to rent an apartment. He juggled different jobs, but he used Andrew's money to search for his Mother. He had no information as to where she was sent, not even an indication as to whether she was dead or not. For two and a half years, he searched mental institutions and rehabs across the world. Then he found her, in France. His Father had sent her to France, just because he wanted that control over her life. He sent her letters, but he received one back from a nurse who reported that Connie had been mute for years and that she barely moved any more. David tried to go and see her, but his Father had paid the hospital to keep her isolated.

At twenty five, David was just about done with life. He got a job at Bar Oasis and he started to settle down a little, in his own way. His uncle's money had just about run out and so he had to rent a smaller apartment. But, he feels better with a small place, with the bare minimum. That way, there isn't enough room for his memories to haunt him.
