Name:
Wynonna Rose McClare

Nickname:
Winnie, The Bookworm, Library Girl or Nona

Age:
24 years old

Gender:
Female

Status:
Upper class

Occupation:
Owner of serval Library stores & she's an archaeologist

Sexuality:
Heterosexual

Personality:
Wynonna has been a very quiet girl, she has always been fond of education and reading but that's because she grew up in that kind of environment. She is quiet, caring and very helpful. She will lend a helping hand to anyone who asks. Wynonna likes to help out children in the slums by donating books to the local children in The Slums. Wynonna may be seen as a helpless and pretty face girl but she is nothing of a sort. She can be very blunt to others and sometimes she will lash out at people who dare mess with either her or her friends and family. Wynonna is independent and a courageous girl who isn't afraid to speak her mind, but often times she will get into trouble.

History:
Wynonna grew up in a house with five other siblings. She is the youngest out of them all but even she acts like the adult in many situations. Wynonna came from a very well to do family and instead of her spending money like her three other sisters did on dresses and other luxury things, she spent her money on books. Her other two brothers were basically showing off their money to girls. Her mother and father were modest people and helped out the community, especially by donating to The Slums community. They also showered their kids with love and spoiled them like any other family would, but Wynonna didn't like it how just because she was the youngest she had to be spoiled. Whatever her parents would get her, whether it be dresses, shoes, or any other things, she would go out on Sundays and distribute them to people in The Slums. When she was younger, she used to be taunted and bullied by her classmates so her mother decided to homeschool her because it got to a point where she didn't see a purpose in going on anymore. Later on, in the years, Wynonna tried writing her first book at 18 years old, but she got shut down quickly. Her father who was a very influential man in the bond business told her that he could put her book on the shelf in no time, but Wynonna refused and told her father that she wants to do it on her own. After countless times of sending her books in to try and be publish, they got turned down until she was at the age of 20 years old. Wynonna's book was published in 60 different book shops in 30 states.

[snowstormspawn]

Name: Roy Ashworth
Appearance(realistic):
Nickname: He doesn't have any yet
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Status (high, middle, low income?): High
Occupation: His father owns a radio company. He's the heir to it and already manages some areas of the business.
Sexuality (all is welcomed): Straight
Personality:
Independent and a natural leader. He sets out to do what he wants and people are enticed by his excitement to follow. He doesn't like to follow orders given by others, and prefers to have things going his way. At his worst, he can be short-tempered, and easily offended. He has a lot of pressure on him to follow in his father's footsteps, so there's some self-doubt and insecurities behind him. However he's optimistic and doesn't let negative feelings slow him down. It doesn't seem like it on the surface, but he's quite caring and generous. It's a tradition for him to deliver presents to the local orphanage around Christmastime.

History:
Roy was born and raised in New York and is an only child, though he considers his cousin Faye to be his sister. From a young age Roy's father took him along to work and showed him how to run the business once it's time for him to take over. The company started out rather small, but over the course of Roy's life it's grown into a large business, which is why they can afford to live the way they do today. Roy and his father live in a large mansion close to the sea, with a beautifully maintained garden, many fountains, sculptures, and even a few peacocks in a greenhouse on the property. His father is rarely home, usually away on business, and so Roy usually has the place to himself.
A few years ago Roy was engaged to be married. Everything seemed to be going well until his fiancée suddenly went mad and was sent to a psychiatric institution. Some of his friends distanced themselves from him, believing he must have done something to cause her to go insane. Roy was left confused and saddened by the events, and it's made him hesitant to jump into romance again. After taking some time to think about it, his first relationship was a bit rushed and he might have lived to regret it.
While his friends are getting married and starting families, he lives a more relaxed life, throwing parties and pursuing his hobbies in addition to working with the company.

Name: Faye Ashworth
Appearance(realistic): (She has a short bob haircut)
Nickname: None yet
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Status (high, middle, low income?): Middle
Occupation: Actress
Sexuality (all is welcomed): Bisexual
Personality: Faye is a sweet but tough girl. The last thing she would want is for anyone to pity her. She likes to be in the spotlight, which is why she pursued an acting career. She keeps her feelings bottled up inside- it's difficult to tell what she's truly feeling, unless she wants to let you know. She also has a tendency to take on the burdens of others, disregarding the effect that might have on her. She's also creative, and somewhat of a dreamer. Very empathetic and intuitive.

History: Faye is Roy's cousin, and the two of them got along very well when they were children. Due to the tense relationship between their fathers, however, they drifted apart and were more of acquaintances later. Ever since Roy's father booted Faye's father from the company, Faye's been living more of a middle-class life. She would never accept money from Roy, but she would never decline an invitation to a party, so she's frequently invited to parties he attends. Faye was an outspoken activist when it came to women's suffrage, and she joined in on marches and protests, which often got her into trouble. She went to school for a few years, learned how to read and write, but school wasn't very important to her. When her acting career took off, she focused more on that. Faye's been mostly in local plays, and a few movies as an extra. She's still waiting on that big movie role.

Name:
Elsie Germain

Appearance(realistic):

Nickname:
Baby

Age:
24

Gender: Female

Status (high, middle, low income?): Middle class

Occupation: Singer

Sexuality (all is welcomed): Heterosexual

Personality:
Elsie is quirky. She is an enigma. She is unpredictable. And independent. she doesn't take kindly to people telling her what to do. But if you need help, she is a true humanitarian who is ready and willing to assist someone who might be short on cash or down on their luck. She'll also dole out sound advice. She cares about her fellow man, woman, child, animal, and environmental cause. Elsie tends to mingle with people from all walks of life. She tends to greet and interact with people the same way, no matter what their age or background. While she loves to progress, on a personal level, she doesn’t like change. It has to do with her loyalty, her attachment to the past, and her memories, so even though she has the courage to look ahead, usually with optimism, and see the best things in store, she still likes to know where she has come from and who she is.While most may very well keep their promises in their relationships, Elsie can take loyalty to a different, deeper level. She will stay loyal to anyone unless of course they truly prove themselves unworthy. Plus she's a bit of a hopeless romantic and a big flirt.

History: Elsie grew up in the poorer area of the city, both her parents were factory workers. Born Sonja Ilse Lange, her name was changed, as her manager said, for marketing purposes. At the age of eight Eloise joined her mother to work in the textile factory, her hands still bearing tiny scars from those days. While her parents worried about getting by Elsie had bigger plans. Her love of singing had grown and by the age of 16 Elsie had been able to sing at many of her local clubs. Of course all the money she made went to her parents, sewing many of her own show outfits by hand, getting most of her inspiration from french fashion. At the age of 18 Elsie was finally discovered and since then she had risen in fame. By then she was living comfortably in the lower half of the middle class, just as long as she kept her past in the past. Her manager is her main reason for success, some how able to get her into most anything.

[Truff]

Name: Madeline June
Appearance(realistic):

Nickname: Nothing. Madeline and nothing else

Age: 24

Gender: Female

Status (high, middle, low income?): Low income

Occupation: Barista and part-time orphanage nurse

Sexuality (all is welcomed): straight

Personality: Madeline is incredibly adventurous and a little bit of a wild child. She usually sneaks into the parties with the one fancy outfit she owns. She enjoys hiding her identity while she's there. Makes her feel like a Cinderella. She usually goes to sneak into the library and read as many books as she possibly can while sipping on alcohol worth more than herself. She is incredibly sweet, caring and silly. She dreams of one day being able to own a house with a library as vast as the one she visits. Madeline can be feisty when needed. She refuses to accept hand outs and will defend the orphanage children with her life.

History: Madeline's parents worked very hard in their factories to send her to college. She eventually did go to Cornell University to pursue a nursing degree. During her junior year, both her parents died in a factory explosion, leaving her with the tuition bills. She struggled to finish her senior year and quickly got whatever job she could find first to start working off her loans. She began working in the orphanage because she could relate to the children. Some were still left stinging from the death of their parents, just as she was. She currently lives in a very small apartment in a bad area of New York. She uses the large parties to get away from the grey and the sadness that sometimes crowds her life. She continues to be full of love and kindness.

[Angst]

Name:
Mordecai Lester

Appearance(realistic):

Nickname:
He doesn't very much like nicknames.

Age:
26

Gender:
Male

Status (high, middle, low income?):
Middle

Occupation:
Interior Designer

Sexuality (all is welcomed):
Bisexual

Personality:
For Lester, everything is about keeping face. Projecting a persona that is both vain and rather self-important, it would be a wonder that he should have any aquatintances at all, if not for his rather outstanding social skills. At his best, he is a charmer, witty and flirtatious, and has a rather impressive reputation for sleeping around. Harboring a deep-rooted fear of abandonment and being fairly unskilled at letting his emotions show, it would come as little surprise that he has never held a stable, long-term relationship. His prideful nature means that he does not take too kindly to being the punchline of a joke or the subject of ridicule; thus, if feeling threatened, he is quick to use his words to attack the one responsible.
His focus on reputation has, unfortunately, placed him in more than his fair share of debt. Though he is of middle class income, he strives to live like a member of the upper class, a lifestyle that, to put it bluntly, he simply can't afford. Thus far, he has been able to avoid his creditors through a good amount of sweet-talking, but he is aware that his time is coming up.
All in all, for a man so outwardly arrogant, Lester's true view of himself is rather low. Personally, he sees presenting himself in the way that he does to be a way to gain respect, both from himself and others, and to be seen as someone of worth and value.

History:
Mordecai was born in the city of Belfast, Northern Ireland. The middle child of three, he was very close, growing up, to both of his sisters, Anna, the oldest, and Rosaline, the youngest. His parents, like himself, were very much focused on keeping up appearances (a trait that he swore he would not take on but, unfortunately, has), and kept distant from their children in favor of other pursuits, such as gaining social standing in their community. Truthfully, it was Anna who was really tasked with raising her younger siblings. This became especially true when the family, when Mordecai was thirteen years of age, to the United States of America, where his parents, despite their immigrant status, worked hard to climb the social ladder. His father, the owner of fair-sized printing business, made a good amount of money, but certainly not enough to pay for the upper class lifestyle that he and his wife pretended to live. It was around the time of the move that he and his son really began to disagree, and after finishing out secondary school, he sought out an apprenticeship with the relative of a friend who owned a fairly successful business in the growing industry of interior design. As it turned out, Mordecai had an eye for the trade, and within a few years had developed his own practice and began to become more acquainted with those of the upper class, for whom he provided his services. Since then, he has established himself well within the community, despite his slow descent into bankruptcy.

Prerequisites
Name: Russell Wyatt

Nickname: Russ

Age: 36

Gender: Male

Status: Middle

Occupation: Librarian

Sexuality: Asexual

Persona & Bio
Personality:

Russ openly embraces the fact that he, in all seriousness, is a man of poor stature — and provoking him using that as a tool, might prove to be fruitless.

Formerly a conformist — and one driven by the desires of the people and the commands of the society he exists in; Russ, gradually, happened to find himself in a queer existential crisis, having failed at finding his true purpose and his own self. This delirium, and it stuck to him zealously, changed the very crux of his personality. Thus, he began relying less and less on his proto-normalcy. Although his usual concerns remained — as he still lived a hollow man — he began to be more involved into the affairs of the outside world. His morality remained grey, and became even ashen as he aged further, but he acquired the benefit of being an observer.

Although, he's a man more interested in keeping to himself — never faltering in hoarding solicitude in the safety of whatever he decides to call home — once he's apprehended by events, he tends to turn more determined, more assertive. He shares many traits with the common men — being of the humble sort, and mostly ordinary. While he uses expletives openly and may appear cantankerous at times, he's still very honest, sympathetic and gracious — though, he's been know to have a rather short fuse.

History:

Russell Wyatt used to work with the Union Pacific when he was work — and which was a work even his father used to do. You see, his father was a humble man, more so than he himself, and he strongly believed in integrity — he taught Russ that, and he taught him just that. His father liked to see railroads as something, more than just a means of transportation, a symbolism of the straight road. Russ got on with it, and he followed his father's footsteps — his brothers, two of them, didn't. One became a medicine man, the other strived on to become a lawyer of sorts. Russ only attended to his business at the railroad company, and he did so diligently.

His relationship with his brothers grew strained. It was a matter of obviousness. His brothers became stern followers of some damned vanity. He didn't. There existed dogmatic differences between hubris and humility. There was this vague feeling of envy — he was different all right, never had any feelings for women and their kin, as most men ought to have. He lived those years with a jealousy he acknowledged and loathed, all the while avoiding any forms socialization — you see, he never did make any friends. He lived a good chunk of his life as an extremely ordinary railroad assitant-supervisor. hen he reach his primes, and that's when his father met his terrible death at a railroad accident, he decided to leave his job; for a short time afterwards, he lived his life as a drifter.

After a brief few months of mourning — via the method of a ill-learned hermitage — he went to live with his uncle, who owned a bar. He worked there for a year or so, before ultimately leaving that too, in his journey to find a better purpose for himself.

He finally ended up in his other uncle's, Thomas, house — after a few years of drifting from job-to-job; working at a library, and gathering enough money to get a house of his own.

A trendy goal, his uncle said.

Personality

Elliot is incredibly smart.
He went to an Ivy League school for med school
and eventually became one of the country's best
heart surgeons. Because of his childhood and
how he was raised, Elliot is a very serious lad.
He's not too into parties, but when he got the
invitation to Gatsby's he decided that that's not
an invitation to turn down. Although he can come
off as cold or even shy, he does have a warm
heart and a love for helping people feel better.

History

Elliot's family was the perfect, poster family.
His mother was a lawyer and his father was a psychiatrist.
Together, they raised a very intelligent and responsible
child. All throughout his life, he studied and studied.
He never really got the chance to be a kid or to
make friends. Now, as an adult, he often thinks about
the childish experiences he missed out on. Given the
chance, his inner child will burst out of him.

Usually wears a plain black tux to
whatever parties he attends. Never really been the type
