  HEALTH

  Wylie has severe low muscle tone, along with several other undiagnosed physical disabilities. This had led to him having a difficult time building up muscle, as well as his ligaments being looser than normal. His right leg and ankle are weaker than the left and have a tendency to give out, leading to his use of a cane despite not needing it all the time. There are other little things as well; when he's tired, his hands sometimes have muscle spasms, and his head tilts to the left without him realizing. When he was younger, he couldn't move his eyes well, meaning to look around he had to physically turn his head towards things. He's since had eye and physical therapy to help with that.

  APPEARANCE

  
  Wylie is 5"4, with warm-beige skin slightly-wavy black hair down to his shoulders that he usually wears up in a ponytail with bobby pins and hair clips keeping it out of his face while he works. He's basically a conglomerate of sharp edges- boney elbows and a sharp jawline and a frame that would probably make any grandmother worth their salt tell him he needs to eat more. His hands are calloused despite his best efforts from helpings his aunt out so often with building things and working on stuff in his own time.
  
  He has a scar across his right cheek from messing with the Fire Watchers a couple of years back. He has his ears pierced, and got a pac-man tattoo on his left shoulder on his 18th birthday.
  
  Wylie's style varies from day-to-day, depending on his activities. If he's planning to get some work done, he wears things that can get oil stains on them, like a plain tank-top and an old pair of jeans. On other days, he usually wears things like high-waisted acid-washed jeans, patterned short-sleeve button downs, and his blue members-only jacket. He usually wears black stud earrings, a swatch watch, and is nearly never without his cane unless forced. On bad days, he can be seen wearing cloth knee and ankle braces.
  
• PERSONALITY

  
  + Intelligent | Wylie is good at what he puts his mind to, which is most sciences and mathematics. His photographic memory helps, along with the fact that he's been helping his aunt build things since he was younger, contributing to his understanding of how things work. He's not the best at history or English, but that's likely because they don't hold his interest long enough for him to actually put his best foot forward.
  + Caring | While he can be awkward, ultimately Wylie has a lot of compassion. He tries to help people when he can, even if some of that is driven by the fact he can't stand seeing things going wrong, even if the problem isn't his own.
  + Passionate | He gets into his work. Like, really gets into it. If given the chance around people he likes, he will go on and on about what he's doing, explaining what it is, what it does, how it does what it does, etc. He does clam up around people he isn't used to, but even then, if someone asks him about what he's doing he's likely to go off on a tangent.
  - Perfectionist | Everything has to be perfect, and if he doesn't get it right the first time around, he gets frustrated. He won't submit anything that he doesn't consider to meet his standards and he's given up on projects that don't work exactly the way he imagined. It's effected his time management skills a lot, not to mention that he obsessively takes over group projects.
  - Easily Frustrated/Embarrassed | Wylie doesn't deal well with things going wrong, whether its his program malfunctioning or his leg giving out and causing him to tumble down a staircase in front of his peers.
  - Socially Awkward | As can be expected of someone who spends most of his time with robots, Wylie has a hard time with people. He has a tendency to plan out conversations and responses in his head and flounder when said conversations don't go the way he expected. He does try his best, though, even if he's better at working out how robots function than living things.
  
  HOBBIES

  Wylie builds robots, both on the mechanical side and the coding side. He frequents the junkyard often, taking what he can when he can, and has been known to abscond with things from the school to reuse them in his own projects, though its mostly little things that have already been broken. He built a small robot lovingly called Scoots that he has help him when he needs it. He also dabbles in art, but mostly blueprints and scientific drawings, since he learned by drawing and re-drawing blueprints he saw in his aunts possession. He's also a pretty big fan of arcade games.
  HABITS

  Wylie talks with his hands, a lot. He's been known to accidentally hit people while explaining things. He paces when he's nervous and has destroyed the erasers of many pencils by absentmindedly chewing on them. He doodles while in class because its one of the few ways he can stay focused; generally speaking, he needs his hands to be moving constantly or he'll be anxious.
  DRIVE & PROBLEM

  Wylie is, as his aunt used to say, a fixer. He can't stand things being broken, whether its malfunctioning machines or less physical problems. If something isn't right, it nags at him a bit until he tries to fix it, even if it isn't his problem to fix. This leads to him getting involved in other people's business and issues, along with going out of his way to investigate matters in the town.
  
  After being fired from the Epsilon Loop research department by DART for reasons unknown a few months back, Wylie's legal guardian and aunt Judith Goh disappeared. That's not exactly Wylie's problem, though; he knows she's still around the town somewhere, based on the fact that someone's still restocking his fridge somehow. No, his problem is that after she left, he went through her things and found files upon files of different things about Loop projects, the town, and other such things. He's been trying to decipher it all and figure out what the different blueprints he found are for, and why exactly DART fired her; he has an inkling the two are connected, and the fact she disappeared makes him think that finding out is important.

  BIOGRAPHY

  
  Wylie has been living with his aunt since he was young. He never really knew his parents, just that he left and Aunt Judith took him in and there they were. Judith never liked to talk about them and eventually he gave up on asking. Originally, they lived in Boulder, where Judith worked at the Delta Loop as the head of a project. He didn't really gather many friends, making the transition easier when they moved to Allgood when he was around 7. He was homeschooled til age 10, which was when his aunt took on more projects at the Epsilon Loop, leaving her less time to teach him. So, he moved to public school.
  
  When he was 12, he ended up getting the scar on his cheek from hanging around the perimeter of one of the Loop topside research areas and having a run in with a Fire Watcher that he may or may not have provoked at the encouragement of his friends at the time. At 13, he started helping more with his aunt's projects, and they collaborated in making a small robot to help him with things. It was dubbed Scoots and was used to fetch things for Wylie when he couldn't do it himself. Scoots is still functioning and Wylie does maintenance on him often to keep it that way, since the robot has become his near-constant companion sans while he's at school. At 15, he became the president of the robotics club and has kept the title to present day. Not that there are any competitions to go to; there's really no schools in a travelable distance to compete against. A few months before he turned 18 (his current age), his aunt was fired from the Epsilon Loop and went missing, leaving Wylie to fend for himself for the most part. Since that point, he's been spending his free time looking into the files she left behind in attempts to figure out what's going on and how to fix the situation.
  
  PUBLIC IMAGE

  Wylie is pretty well-known within the school. Recently, his claim to fame is being the student head of the robotics club & team; the nickname coined for him around school is Bugs, for both 'bugs bunny' (due to his first name being shared with Wylie Coyote) and the spyware technology.

  Name: Justice R. Bright
  
  Age: 17
  
  Gender/Pronouns: Male | He/Him
  
  Sexuality: Bisexual
  
  Grade: 12th grade | Senior
  
  Description: With dark, mocha skin and a height of 5’9, Justice usually stands out in a crowd. He is incredibly expressive, mostly because he’s had to exaggerate his expressions for most of his life to express himself properly, and because he just doesn’t care about people seeing his emotions. Justice doesn’t really have a lot of hair either, with just a light amount of dark black fuzz dusting the top of his head, sides shaved to the bristles. Justice’s face leans a little more on the softer side, rounder around his cheeks, but his body is anything but soft. J is lean, muscle getting more prominent at his legs and softening around his torso. The reason for J’s surprisingly toned body is simply because he likes being active. Justice enjoys exerting himself, and it’s for that reason that he bikes to school.
  
  Body Mods/Scars: None.
  
  Clothing Style: If a single word could describe Justice’s sense of style, it’d be light. Justice doesn’t usually carry a lot on him, just his signature blue backpack, and he only wears a watch on his right wrist. Justice really favours solid colour t-shirts and shorts, as well as tank tops. Since he’s really active, so he tends to wear clothes that let him move around a lot, so baggy or overly fitting clothes aren’t things he enjoys wearing.
  
• 
  Despite being mute, Justice’s mind is filled to the brim with ideas and notes and words. Being unable to speak has meant he’s also more careful with his words, since typing or writing out your answer means you can actually see what you’re saying. Justice is incredibly creative with his writing, and one of his biggest aspirations is to be a writer someday. However, it’d be a grave error to think Justice was just some sort of soft, naive boy who sees the good in everyone. If anything, you could call Justice a little jaded, especially considering his condition has caused a lot of other people to either make fun of him, or pity him; both of which he despises. Justice is incredibly independent, and even if he can’t speak, he refuses to be defined by his condition.
  
  Justice can also be shockingly reckless. His adamant desire to be seen as capable on his own means he often goes off and just does stupid shit. (see: taking apart a school computer.) While his aunt is extremely patient, not everyone is his aunt, and even the few people who were willing to look past his disability left him because of how goddamn stupid he can be.
  
  Lastly, Justice is both incredible confident and incredibly blunt. He will not hesitate to clock someone who’s being an ass, and if they clock him back? He’d fight back with all of his fucking might. Justice is someone who really tries to stand up for those who can’t or won’t stand up for themselves. His name is very fitting when it comes to this aspect of himself, and his unwavering belief in his own capabilities means he would walk up to a fucking bear and rip it to shreds if it meant protecting someone he cares about, or, hell, someone he despises.
  
  Hobbies: Justice adores the making and taking apart of machines, no matter the complexity. Whether it be a mundane bike or one of the fantastical gadgets scattered around the town of Allgood, if Justice can get his hands on it, he is going to drag it home and take it apart. While this hobby of his is something he loves to do, it has gotten him into a lot of trouble in the past, especially that time he tried to take apart one of the school’s computers. Other than the destruction of school property though, Justice also loves to read, often immersing himself in the stories from the library. This adoration of reading is also why he specifically chose to take apart a school computer and not a computer from the library. He didn’t want to get banned, after all.
  
  Habits: Justice tends to carry around a notepad with him, a blue gel pen trapped between the notepad’s metal teeth. When he notices something interesting, or wants to keep track of his thoughts, he opens up his notebook and writes it down.
  
  Problem: Justice’s family has been involved in the maintenance of the Epsilon Loop for a long time, and Justice himself was planned to eventually take over for his father once the kid graduated; that is, until his father suddenly disappeared when Justice was only 15 years old. Since then, he’s been raised by his aunt, a lovely woman living near the edge of the town.
  
  Drive: Justice has a deep curiosity for the world around him. From motorcycles to cars to bikes, the boy loves to take abandoned vehicles and tinker with them in his aunt’s backyard. Of course, as a mechanic, she naturally helps him take them apart and explains things to him. However, Justice’s curiosity is not only limited to mechanical objects. He loves observing a number of things to figure out how they work— including people. And the current biggest mystery to him are the strange happenings going on in the town. Of course, there is also the disappearance of his father 2 years ago, but that was a long time ago… right, Bright?
  
• 
  Public Image: Justice is seen as a bit of a weirdo. Most people only remember him when he was about 15, 16, and not much else before that. His silence and general aloof attitude has put off a lot of people who’ve tried to talk to him before, making him one of the outcasts. It’s rare for anyone to approach Justice, let alone talk with him, but he doesn’t seem to mind all that much. If anything, it just gives him more peace and quiet. He can’t help but feel a little lonely, though. Anyone would, being treated like a freak and/or rude asshole when you’re just not.
  
  Background: Justice grew up in a loving home. Despite his disability, his father poured all of his love and attention onto his son. When Mr. Bright worked late, he would make sure to treat his son. If Justice wanted to fiddle with something, Mr. Bright would give him something. Even without his mother, Justice’s family life was a bright one.
  
  That is, until Jonathan Bright mysteriously disappeared 2 years ago.
  
  Since then, Justice has lived with his aunt Mavis, and even though he claims that he’s given up on the search, one glance into Justice’s personal notebook shows that he still thinks his father is alive, and that J is fervently searching for any clues as to his whereabouts.

  Important Friends/Family
  Mavis | 45
  Justice’s aunt, and a wonderful woman. She’s extremely loving, and she always makes sure to help Justice when he needs it. It’s no wonder J adores her.

  Inter-character Relationships
  Wylie Goh | 'Wiz' | TragicTrees
  While Wyles and J didn't have the best first impressions of eachother, they've been much friendlier since then. Well, okay, so Justice is much friendlier to Wylie. J respects the kid for standing up to him like he did back then, and he sort of thinks of Wylie as his little brother. The two work closely with each other on mechanical projects, Wylie being one of the few people J lets mess around with his stuff, and one of the few people Justice would trust to take apart his projects without completely breaking them.
  
  Story Langdale | 'Princey' | smolfluffball
  The two started off extremely rocky. It was mostly thanks to Stella (and a little of J's own stubbornness) that the two managed to patch things up. Nowadays, they're are on much more pleasant terms, speaking outside of school and hanging out with each other. Of course, Justice knows his limits, and so he barely interacts with Story in school except to cheekily sign to him every so often. Justice is proud to call Story his friend, even if Story himself might disagree. J is very friendly with the other boy, often flirting or teasing him just for the fun of it. He has a lot of fun seeing Story clam up, or seeing him try and tease back. But every tease has a kernel of truth to it, right, Bright? Just don't get carried away with a love story that'll never happen.
  
  Marcus Pasternak | 'Wrench' | wickedlittlecritta
  Most people, when they first get to know Justice, would say he's tough. Whether it be physically or emotionally, when a stranger thinks of Justice R. Bright, their first thought would be that he's short-tempered, stubborn, sharp-witted and completely unpleasant to speak to. Not Marcus, though.
  
  There is a certain advantage one gets as a childhood friend, and in Marcus' case, he gets to see the softer side of Justice. These two have known each other for a long time, possibly even longer than anyone in the school has known Justice before. Marcus is the one person J feels comfortable to relax around, and the one other person who knows about Justice's determination in finding his father. Marcus is the guy J softens up around, the one he shares his poetry with and his sketches with and those gentle, adoring smiles with. Even with the people who are friends with Justice would say he has a sassy streak, but not with Marcus. At the end of the day, Marcus is probably the only person who's seen Justice with his guard completely down, and Justice hopes that Marcus thinks as highly of him as he thinks of Marcus.
  
  Jade Canby | 'Gum' | StaidFoal
  Bubbly and positive, Jade Canby grates on Justice's damn nerves. Not only is she insufferably persistent in getting to know Bright, but her optimism shtick feels completely ingenuine. Whether Jade is legitimately just a bubbly person, or lying to herself as J suspects, he's definitely going to be staying away from her.
  
  Skyler Lucas Wiley | 'Sparrow' | Jewel
  While not necessarily the first person Justice might go to in case he gets in trouble, J can recognize a trustworthy person. With their relationship starting with Skyler getting him arrested and subsequently high, the pair have become pretty close, often hanging out at the junkyard. While Justice found Sky's fondness for him a little off-putting at first, he's learned to roll with it, even finding quite a bit of joy when he's around the other boy. Him and Sky have become somewhat infamous for causing a little havoc around the town. Whether they're friends or partners in crime, though, is a little unclear. But one thing people know for sure is that when Justice and Skyler are in the same room, something bad is bound to happen.
  
  Gabrielle Scott | 'Thriller' | Breakfeastclub
  Although their relationship isn't as close as most of Justice's friendships, J still finds the girl endearing in that cute, innocent way. It is also very funny to him that she hasn't figured out he's mute yet, and he intends on confusing her for as long as he's able. Most people outside of their friendship think that J is trying to corrupt Gabby. Justice doesn't mind the rumours— in fact, he even finds them a little entertaining— but to say Gabby would be tricked by him so easily is, in his mind, at least, completely stupid. Justice might not trust that Gabby is being completely genuine when she says she wants to hang out, but J has learned not to judge a book by its cover, least of all one as pretty as Gabrielle's.
  
  
• 
  
  In his bag, J carries a small mini-computer of sorts. The sleek black box is covered in fat, colorful stickers and doodles done by our own Justice R. Bright. In fact, J's name is signed in blue marker on the front, making sure to mark his ownership. The device was handmade by Justice, with the help of a friend, its body an amalgamation of parts taken from different sources. J is able to type in words, and when he presses enter on the keyboard, his words would get repeated in blocky, mechanical speech. The device is why Justice's backpack is so heavy, despite him only storing a notebook or two and some pens inside it most of the time.
  
  Alongside this little TTS box (J calls it Tee) is an assortment of notebooks, notepads, a couple of pens and a water bottle. Inside the notebooks are doodles and blueprints and notes, all written down in a neat, if a little scratchy, hand-writing. Hidden behind all of his stuff, though, is a secret plastic baggie filled with candy that Justice pops every so often.
  
  
  ⩺ Dogs. Justice loves how friendly and energetic they are. If Mavis let him, he'd absolutely get a pet dog.​
  ⩺ Blue. While the calming associations people tend to have with blue clashes with Justice's general personality and attitude, the boy adores the color.​
  ⩺ If J had to name a favourite food, it'd be the pancakes, especially with whipped cream and blueberries.​

• Description: Story would describe himself as Adonis - the god of beauty and desire. A perfect man, a stunning 10/10. The absolute epitome of beauty. While he isn't actually a god, or even the epitome of beauty, he is what many people would find attractive. He stands at 6'2 and is active and athletic, and has wide shoulders and well defined muscles in his arms and torso. He's definitely one of those teens who has abs, but he has actually worked hard to get them... Because it makes him more attractive to the ladies, his father told him. And, to be fair, they aren't super chiseled - just a few lines here and there. He has green eyes that he likes to think look like the oak leaves on one of the trees on his property, and his skin is almost pasty, but he says it's ivory in color. He has a few freckles near his eyes and dotting his nose, but they're not that obvious when first looking at him. He's a natural ginger, with copper colored wavy hair, and he usually pushes it off his forehead by just running his hands through it. He doesn't like to put gel in his hair and prefers the more tousled look, the less put together and prim and proper style. His nose is straight and absolutely fits his face perfectly, being neither too big nor too small, and he has a well-defined jawline and almond shaped eyes. His mother has told him he would look a couple years older if he just kept his hair in check. He doesn't listen to her.
  
  Body Mods/Scars: Do you think Story would tarnish his body with any modifications? Pssh, no! But... there is a scar he has on his back, at the base of his neck. It's usually hidden underneath the collar of his shirts and the only people who know how he got it are his family. He doesn't like to talk about it, because it's ugly scratch marks that are jagged over his backbone. Looks kind of like a creature scratched him pretty badly, or something, but how he got it remains a mystery. Apart from that, the rest of his body is scar free and blemish free. Well, minus the freckles near his eyes, though he doesn't consider those blemishes in the slightest.
  
  Clothing Style: Preppy, preppy, preppy. He dresses to impress constantly and is basically never seen in anything less than a button-up and a nice pair of pressed chinos. He isn't afraid to wear any color and usually leaves the top two buttons of his button-ups undone, though when it's windy or chilly out, he does close them up. When it's colder outside he can be found in a zipped up zest and a scarf, but when it's warmer, he wears shorts and a light-weight (usually cotton) t-shirt. On very rare occasions, or whenever he's at his house or out exploring by himself, he can be seen in simple jeans and a windbreaker or well-worn black leather jacket, and sometimes a baseball cap. He also usually has a pair of luxury sunglasses on his person, either pushed up to the top of his head or hanging off his shirt. And a leather bracelet on his wrist that has several cuts in it to hide the name that was originally etched into it.

  Many people would have a single conversation with Story and walk away with the impression that the boy is both incredibly narcissistic and a complete drama queen. While these are not completely inaccurate descriptions of Story, he does prefer people have more than just one conversation with him before they make their final judgments. He likes to tell people he's multi-faceted, but because he always goes on and on about how handsome he is, many people believe him saying that is just to further fuel his ego. He does say quite a bit about his appearance, about how he'd win a competition for hottest boy in the world, or about how every ginger wishes they were as pretty as he was, but he also tells people about how different he is once someone gets to know him... but he doesn't really let people do that.
  
  
  Spoiler: Allow me to explain,

  Story is a very good talker and he can tell a good story (haha), and he loves to learn all of the gossip at school. He's usually involved in one drama or another with someone, and he doesn't mind that at all. He's friendly enough to several students, even if they're a part of the lower class or the uncool cliques, and he likes to believe most students have had a good interaction with him. The drama comes from him flirting with lots of girls and spending time with guys' girlfriends. And from him genuinely believing he's above everyone else. It's a very bad mindset that he has gotten from both of his parents, but he does sincerely believe that his family is better than everyone else. Whenever he mentions this to people, it tends to rub them the wrong way, and he has pissed off people before because he doesn't know when to stop talking about how "perfect" his life is compared to everyone else's. If someone becomes upset with him, then he tends to brush them off and not even bother making amendments, unless he 1) likes them enough or 2) believes that whoever he's pissed off can be useful to him sometime later... Though most people aren't worth the effort. He thinks that if someone can't handle what he says, then they're not worth his time, because he's not going to be here in a year anyway, so it doesn't matter. He doesn't actively seek out confrontation and he doesn't actually like getting into fights or arguments with people, but he will not back down if someone throws a punch at him.
  
  The boy has only one close friends who is not related to him, after his former best friend got sent to a different school. He keeps much of his life a secret from everyone, and he only allows people to know very specific facts about himself. The relationships that he has with his current "friends" are incredibly shallow and exist, to him, only at school or whenever he's spending time with him. He does not trust that any of his "friends" would be there for him if something unfortunate happened to him, because he knows many of his "friends" are only friends with him because they like his money or popularity. He has dealt with people using him all of his life, and he has learned how to do the exact same thing to others. He does his best to keep tabs on any students who fall onto his radar, that way he is able to strike up a conversation with whoever he needs to. He has an easy time doing this, since he has many opinions on many different things, and he has a very charming smile that he uses to disarm people. It's a little shy, a little flustered, a little honest, with a quiet laugh and a tilted head, and lots of eye contact.
  
  There is actually a different side to Story that none of his classmates know about: the side of him that adores his little sister, the side of him that's so fiercely loyal once someone earns his friendship, the side of him that's terrified of one of his parents' dogs, the side of him that's so excited about his future. The side of him that actually hates his parents and doesn't believe his life is perfect at all, the side of him that wants to just find someone to be brutally honest with, the side of him that wants another shot at a love story. The side of him that experienced something horrible and wasn't allowed to tell anyone anything about it. The side of him that's so scared, so worried, so panicked, that he'll not be able to ever get away from his parents and from this town, and that he'll never be able to be who he honestly wants to be.
  
  But no one knows that side of him.
  
  
  Hobbies: When he isn't out at a party or hanging out with people, he can most often be found at his house or the local pool. He enjoys playing tennis (against his sister, on their property), volleyball (again, against his sister, at his house) and he likes to swim. He loves competing against his sister to see who can run the fastest around their property. He also competes against her for the most number of friends (she's currently crushing him at that) and to see who is most athletic between them; she's a better tennis player, but he runs faster than her. He enjoys playing with his family's dogs (except one of them, which he actively avoids) and he likes to spend time with his sister, doing whatever, even if he would deny it if someone asked about it. He sneaks out at night sometimes to wander around town, usually to clear his head, and every Saturday morning he can be seen at the library with his sister checking out three new books to read for the upcoming week. He also practices with his guitar everyday and has a secret collection of original songs, and he is also studious, but in general he, maybe surprisingly, doesn't do much outside of his house. He really only leaves his property if he's with someone, like his sister, or a classmate who wanted to hang out. Or if it's dark outside and he needs to clear his head, which he needs to do more often than he would like to admit.
  
  Habits: He runs either of his hands through his hair. A lot. He also rubs at the scar on his neck whenever he's lost in thought or focusing on something or stressed or nervous. He twists his bracelet around his wrist or tugs on it when he feels uncomfortable, although he's rarely uncomfortable. He rolls his eyes and takes on a haughty tone more often than he should, but he is trying to do this less often. He also scowls when he doesn't like something, which is another habit he's actively trying to break. He's too pretty to have frown lines.
  
  Problem: It was about three and a half months ago now, but the break-up with his former best friend turned boyfriend is still a very big issue in his life. His parents were not happy to find out about their secret relationship, and Story feels like he might have destroyed his ex's life, since he got sent to military school on the other side of the country. He told his parents he was just experimenting, and it wasn't even his choice, it wasn't serious, it was nothing, but now he's very wary around his parents and wants to keep his attraction to guys a secret until he can finally leave town.
  
  Drive: He hates the town he lives in and his parents and he wants to leave. He wants to get to California or New York and never come back to Allgood. He's too big and important for this small town and all it's weird robots and science shit. He's going to be accepted into a university in one of those states, and he'll bring his sister with him, and together they'll finally be able to live however they want to. To be terribly honest, his sister is one of the biggest motivations in his life: he wouldn't have the determination to leave town if he didn't have her.
  
  Public Image: Every student knows Story lives in the estate on Evergreen Avenue, because many of them have probably been to one of the parties he (or his sister/mother) has put on. If they have not been to one of the parties held at his house, then they most likely know him as the most popular student at school. He's constantly surrounded by people at school, and at the pool, and pretty much wherever he goes. He's always involved in school activities, such as football games, but he's not a part of any athletic team, and he also is not involved in any clubs. Some students might wonder, if they are curious enough or observant enough, about wherever he goes whenever his friends are not with him. He's never been seen around town without someone with him, ever, and if his friends are doing something without him, then it might seem like he's disappeared. To some, it might seem like, without someone by his side, he ceases to exist... but he doesn't really.
  
• 
  Note: The last paragraph of this backstory mentions being attacked by a dog. It's not detailed at all, but if that's a problem for you then please be aware of it!
  
  Story would tell you that he's his parents' perfect son, and he'd be pretty damn close to right. Let's ignore the fact that he was originally an unwanted drunken accident, and let's ignore the fact that his parents were not at all prepared to raise a child, and let's also ignore the fact that his parents really aren't that great, at least for now.
  
  His mother, after he was born, doted and cared greatly for him. After his little sister (who's a year and three months younger than him) was born, she decided she couldn't handle taking care of two kids. His father was usually away on business trips or involved in something that kept him busy, and because his mother was unprepared to raise two children, he and his sister ended up being raised by nannies for the most formative years of their lives. His mother was around in the background, usually watching her children and making sure to get them every single toy that they could ever want, and letting them draw on the walls and bring in any animals they found outside, but she just... didn't know how to be around her own kids. They completely changed her life, and she wasn't ready to give up her time with her friends and her parties to take care of her children. She just threw money at them and spoiled them rotten and hoped that would be enough to please them. It was, for a while. His father was mostly absent throughout much of his younger years; Story remembers, in the faintest parts of his memories, his father hunched over his desk in his office or giving his mother a kiss on the cheek before saying goodbye to his family to leave on a business trip.
  
  Their mother was a woman who had a need to be liked, and who needed to keep things in order. Having two young children at her house during parties would never work out, so she had the nannies take both of her children up to their rooms whenever guests were over. It wasn't that big of a deal to either child, until Story followed his sister out one night and overheard his mother complaining about her children, about how annoying they were, about how bratty and whiny they were, and how impossible it was to understand them. They were both young when they heard that, and although neither really understood what their mother was saying, they did understand her tone and the sorrowful whimper their nanny let out behind them. But they did nothing about it, because they had no idea what to do to make their mother happy. It was never brought up between them again, and neither of them ever let their mother know that they heard her. It did stick, though, as these things tend to do.
  
  Story and his sister were often overlooked (and somewhat disliked) by their mother, and their father wasn't around very often, and neither of them really liked that. The two came up with a prank when they were eight/seven involving a frog and their mothers' friend, as a way to get attention. It was funny to them, but their mothers' friend nearly fainted, and their mother was beyond furious at them. She never lashed out at them physically, but she did yell at them, and after she had gotten the most of her anger out, she did not speak with either of her children for nearly a month. Story has never forgotten the look of absolute horror on his mothers face when she saw the frog, and he can clearly remember how awful it felt to be ignored by her.
  
  Being ignored wasn't the reaction Story wanted from his mom, so he decided to behave from that moment on, because his mother was much easier to talk to when he behaved. It was a lesson he learned very young, but it stayed with him and left a mark on him that he was only able to overcome recently. When his father, who had been away on a business trip during the incident, learned about what happened, he was nothing but disappointed in his children's antics. It was not a fun time for either of them, and it only encouraged Story to become a perfectly well-behaved child... so that he never had to deal with his parents' disappointment again.
  
  When Story started to get older, around the age of eleven, his mother suddenly became more present in his life. She still spent most of her time with her friends and went to parties frequently, but she was pleased with the boy that her son was becoming. And, as her kids got older, they became much easier to handle. Story was, to his mother, a very good son. He was doing good in school, never got into trouble, and he was so well-behaved at home. His mother talked with him and asked him to become a good influence on his little sister, who never outgrew her rambunctious streak. Story did not want to do this, because he loved how wild his sister could be sometimes, but he told his mother he would do the best he could. The siblings came up with a plan and tricked their parents into thinking his sister was becoming docile, but in secret they both misbehaved and got into things they weren't supposed to. It was terrifying for Story, since he had grown so accustomed to being the perfect son, but also exhilarating. Sadly, he was caught red-handed one day, and he was punished for lying to his mother. His sister got sent away to a summer camp to teach her some manners, and that summer was the loneliest season of his entire life.
  
  When he was in his pre-teens and early teens, he started to see just how screwed up his relationship was with his parents. He was a perfect son, and he followed his parents' rules absolutely. He never overstepped whenever there were guests in his house, and he ended up learning how to throw a good party from his mother, after he proved to her that he was ready to learn. He was friends with the right people at school, he ignored the rowdy children, and he never got into trouble. Sure, at school, he might have gotten into a few arguments with people because of the attitude he developed in the early stages of puberty, but he never got in trouble with the principal or his teachers. He made sure to step back before things went too far, since he did not want to know how his parents would react if they ended up hearing bad news from any other adults about their son. It was when he went to a party over summer before ninth grade that he met a new boy who opened his eyes to how kids are supposed to be with their parents. The boy got into an argument with his parents right in front of everyone, and his parents didn't lash out at him and instead reached a compromise. It was bizarre, seeing parents speak with their children and hear them out, and listen to what they were saying, instead of forbidding them from doing anything wrong.
  
  It was so not how Story's relationship was with his parents, and he started to wonder. His wonderment led to him befriending the boy, who was not the type of boy his parents would approve of him being friends with. Story didn't really care, because the boy was fun to hang out with, and they made each other laugh easily. They agreed to keep their friendship a secret. They met when it was dark out, at various places in town, nearly every night. Thus started a new and dangerous hobby. Sneaking out. Breaking his parents' rules. Developing feelings for a boy. Story introduced the boy to his sister, who got along with him immediately, and together the three of them formed an alliance that was unbreakable outside of school but invisible inside of it. The boy helped both siblings grow and see their parents in a different light. They knew their parents weren't the best parents around, but they did not know just how awful they were to other families in town. Story didn't like how the news made him feel, and he began to resent his parents for raising him to be so much like them... But he couldn't very well change his entire persona now. Not after he had spent his entire life being influenced by them. Not when he was their perfect son.
  
  He was their perfect son, until he kissed his friend. And his friend kissed him back. That was beyond forbidden. Story really did not care. The two exchanged their best friendship for a new romantic relationship. Story told his sister about this new development the day it happened, and she wasn't even surprised. She supported them and helped cover for Story whenever he was out with his lover, and it was going good for a while. His parents ended up becoming suspicious of a stranger trespassing on their property a few months ago, because they noticed footprints in some mud and a door cut into their fence. The cut in the fence was something his sister created, and the footprints were leftover from his lover sneaking onto his property the night before. Story knew they were wary of strangers and protective of their property - they already had three guard dogs to protect the grounds - but he didn't know they were getting a new dog. It happened while he was at school, and he didn't get home until late that night, since he had been on a secret date.
  
  Story was caught by the new dog. The following events are better left unsaid, but just know that the incident caused his boyfriend to be sent away, and ended with Story developing something very similar to hatred toward his parents. The scar on his back is from the incident, and the new wariness around his parents is also from the incident. Since his ex-lover was sent away, he's done everything he can to make-up his massive screw up to his parents. He's so angry, though, and can't forgive them for causing so much pain in his life so close to when he can finally get the fuck out of town. And he also cannot forgive them for keeping the dog that attacked him.
  
  He just has to get through senior year. Then he can be free. That's all he needs to do, and he's going to do it with ease.

  ⇨ Stella Langdale: 16, little sister. A spoiled girl known for throwing the best parties. Also Story's closest friend, the one person he'd go to hell for without any hesitation, but they bicker so much at school that all of his classmates think they hate each other. They don't. If someone said anything bad about his sister, he would cause stupid drama to get people to stop talking about her and start talking about him. He also would punch anyone who said shit about her and make up an excuse to cover for why he did so. The two of them are close as fuck. But they don't want anyone to know that.

  Inter-character Relationships:
  
  ▹ Skylar "Sky" Wiley - Story's best friend... In secret. To the school, they appear to hate each other, though this comes mostly from Skyler. Story regrets keeping their friendship a secret because he really doesn't dislike Skyler at all - actually, he might be in love with him? Not that he'd ever admit that to anyone, let alone Sky, who does know his biggest secret. But there's no way the feeling will ever be reciprocated and Story's used to killing off his feelings for guys he can't ever be with. Apart from the whole "in love with my childhood best friend" thing (because they are, indeed, childhood best friends), and keeping their friendship a secret thing, and pretending they hate each other thing - the two of them have a band together, they like to hang out at each other's houses or anywhere private enough, they take their dogs to the dog park, go to the arcade late at night, and Story has patched Skyler up several times after he's gotten into fights. They know each other very well and care for each other a lot, but no one at school has a single clue.
  
  ▹ Justice "Jay/Hero Boy" Bright - One of the few people Story actually considers a genuine friend, though that's kind of...iffy right now. They got off on very bad terms (Justice punched him because of something he asked) but they were able to overcome that situation thanks in large part to Story's sister, Stella, insisting that Justice apologize to him. Through several trials and tribulations (and lots of Story saying they weren't friends because of this or that reason) they were able to reach a new level in their relationship called friendship, though there was also some romantic interest attached. Story squashed it down and they are seriously Just Friends but... are people ever really Just Friends with each other? Well, Story is just Jay's friend, definitely. Story did learn a fair bit of ASL to actually communicate with Jay but he keeps their friendship a secret because Jay is weird and Story can't be seen with people like him at school or in pretty much any public place. But in private they like to talk with each other and Story likes to help him with his machines, even though he's not really that helpful.
  
  ▹ Jade "Gladys" Canby - His girlfriend (fake, on his side)! Though they've only been dating for three months, Story's known Jade a couple years more than that, since she lives across the street from him. Granted, he wasn't really the biggest fan of her back then thanks in large part to her crazy stunts and wild parties, but people change, right? Right! And they grow closer and closer and hang out more and develop feelings for each other... You know, totally normal stuff like that. So was it really a surprise when Story asked her out, since she liked him and he definitely liked her? No, not at all! Now that they're dating they are very open about their displays of affection. Hand holding? Yes. Kisses on cheeks? Mhm. Does Story play with her hair and stand close to her? Totally! He actually is a really caring boyfriend who does actually care about Jade and all her struggles and who actually understands her very well on a deeply personal level. But does he feel absolutely atrocious for lying to her about his true feelings? Well, that remains to be seen.

[Pokeking]

Spoiler: Shotaro Sanada stats

Name: Shotaro Sanada, but also goes by Shaun. While his parents and family use his Japanese name, all others use his more American-sounding name which he prefers.

Age: 17

Birthday: March 3

Gender/Pronouns: Male. He/Him

Sexuality: Gay (closeted)

Grade: 12th Grade/Senior

Height and Weight: six feet tall and weighing 195 pounds

Description: Broad-shouldered with a muscular build. His face is square-shaped, and his eyes are dark brown. He has black hair, and his preferred haircut style is the high fade quiff.

Body Mods/Scars: None

Clothing Style: Wears crisp blue jeans and Henley shirts of various colors. His most favorite color is teal. Lots of his shirts are teal or green. Often wears his letterman jacket when the weather is right. It has his last name in ribbon script like all letterman jackets. Unlike how he styles himself in school life, the ribbon underneath proudly displays the name of Shotaro. He takes great care of the jacket because it symbolizes his status at Allgood High. His favorite workout attire consists of grey gym shorts and lime green tank.

Spoiler: Shotaro's behaviors

Personality:
Positives
+ Charitable: He often offers any pocket change to those in need. Has been known to help neighbors who need an extra pair of hands. He tries his best to insist on free of charge but will grudgingly accept cash payment after a certain point. He would rather be “paid” with something to eat or drink.
+ Listener: People have been known to approach Shotaro to get his opinion on things that are on their minds.
+ Serenity: An angry Shotaro is rare and he saves his aggression for football. He meditates often and tries to set aside a moment every evening for meditation.

Negatives
- Arrogant: He believes in his own hype as a star running back and sees himself as a samurai. The field and times may be different as well as the rules, but the spirit lives on.
- Sarcastic: He tries to be witty, but the way he conveys himself come across as anything but.
- Vanity: He doesn’t mind getting dirty or scuffed up when the situation calls for it such as when he’s doing yardwork or when he’s out on the field. Off the clock, as he calls it, he cares a little too much about his overall appearance. Frequently washes his hands. Cleanliness does promote healthiness, but he loves looking attractive.

Hobbies: Football, working out, food, and drawing. He’s fixated on werewolves. His room at home and the interior of his school locker is full of his drawings. Claims to have seen The Howling 29 times.

Habits: Japanese is his first language and is spoken exclusively at the Sanada household unless they have visitors which isn't often. As a result, he often slips out of English if he gets flustered or angry. Beware of receiving any notes from him. The quality of his handwriting in English is slightly less than average which is why he does his notes in Japanese. He regularly applies mud mask cream to his face to maintain a clear face. Just don’t come over to his place when its one of those nights. You’ll probably want to laugh. Just keep it to yourself.

Problem: His parents view themselves as Japanese citizens living in the States temporarily. Shotaro sees himself as American. Fears the day that his parents will tell him that they are moving back to Japan. If made to go, he’ll be kicking and screaming all the way. It’s either that or find some way to stay in America. There are times that he doesn’t see eye to eye with his folks.

Drive: He has the skills and the athleticism to possibly play college ball and maybe go pro, but he desires neither. He would like to become a comic book artist because his craft is that good but would like to find a carrier that serves the community. Maybe as a firefighter or the Armed Forces? No matter what, he desires to remain in the country of his birth.

Public Image: If it’s high school football season, it’s hard not to see his name being mentioned. A couple times, he has even earned press in the Kanazawa Shimbun, the local newspaper of the city his parents came from. Classmates know of his artwork and Shotaro is seen often with a sketchpad and pencils.

Spoiler: Shotaro's past and present

Background: Twenty years ago, Kaito Sanada got the opportunity of a lifetime. He was offered a huge raise and perks to move to Allgood. Possibly Iwasaka related even though his father didn’t work for them directly or so he said. Kaito doesn't talk about what he does. In the Sanada household, it's best to keep quiet as long as the bills are being paid. All that Shotaro and his mother understand is that his work is highly important and confidential.

Shotaro felt like an outsider growing up because his primary language was Japanese and he had a name unfamiliar to his classmates so he began to identify himself as Shaun among his peers. He wanted to emulate his American classmates and those he saw in the media. To facilitate this, he began to work out at the gym when he got old enough and developed a splendid athletic physique. His crowning achievement in the field of assimilation was being a football player. Not soccer, but classic American football.

In his Freshman year, he tried out for running back. Whether by fate or misfortune of other prospective candidates or just natural ability, he performed admirably and he was chosen for the team. Trouble awaited him at home. It was not a pretty sight because his parents were disappointed in him. Sports they could understand, but football? Acceptance was as slow as molasses. For that first season, they didn’t attend even one game. He was crestfallen, but he resolved to continue playing.

The first definitive sign of approval was when he came back after school one day in his Sophomore year and found a treasured photo among all the other photos. It was of him in his football gear with jersey displaying number 23. Here is Shotaro kneeling on one knee. In the crook of his right arm is a football and nestled between his legs is his helmet facing left. There was still emptiness inside.

What he was missing and desired was teenage companionship. Girls might have enjoyed looking at him, but their gazes were not returned. The truth is that he was physically and emotionally attracted to other guys. No one knows this truth because has safeguarded it behind a shield of devotion to schoolwork and this ruse has satisfied both parents and classmates. Plus, his gazes have been inconspicuous. He does not act on his feelings because he is afraid of discovery. Which is greater? Fear or shame?

Important Friends/Family: Kaito Sanada (father) and Ayumi (mother)

  Name: Jade "Gladys" Canby
  
  Age: 18 (just turned!)
  
  Gender/Pronouns: Cis Female, She/Her
  
  Sexuality: Demisexual
  
  Grade: Senior
  
  FC Description: Standing at 5'6 (167 cm), the first thing that people typically see of Jade is her kaleidoscopic-dyed hair, messy and drooped a little past shoulder level. She dyed it as a result of a dare with a group of friends, and she's taken an exponential liking to it. With a constant grin and wide, hazel-colored eyes, Jade maintains an easy-to-approach stance to everyone. Jade has a light skin tone, and small freckles dot her nose and cheeks. There are a few scars around her body, each originating from one of her wild parties, and each with a story she'd love to tell. Two upper teeth are missing, which she also lost at a party. Her hair literally shines against bright light, only making her stand out even more.
  
  Clothing Style: A fur denim jacket (1) worn over atrociously designed shirts (1, 2).
  
• 
  Personality:
  + Unbiased View | Jade treats everybody with equal amounts of respect and love, no matter their status or anything else that may mark them as "different." Fun is meant for everyone, so it doesn't make sense for there to be exclusions. Anyone can walk into her parties, no need for an invite!
  
  + Big Ball of Energy | Anyone immediately knows when Jade enters the room—maybe even know when she's about to enter. It's as though she never stops talking, and her sparkling charisma is an ever-flowing stream. With her way with words and her general cadence and attitude, it's hard for people not to get away from her.
  
  + Stoic Joy | Almost nothing gets Jade down. She's danced off excruciating injuries right after getting them up until the adrenaline wore off and she was forced to go to hospital. Even then, nobody has ever seen erm without a bright smile. She couldn't care less about gossip or straight up insults; people can think what they want to think, and Jade thinks everyone needs to have fun!
  
  
  - Hubris | Jade—though not rubbing it in others' faces or mocking them for the lack of it—has money, and she knows it. She knows she is amazing, and she knows she is incredible. When people talk to her, she "knows" they love her. One could say she doesn't want to think otherwise.
  
  - Insensitive | At the same token of not caring what others think of her, Jade can often come across as insensitive, putting her own parties and goals prioritized over any other person's wishes. Nothing should interrupt her parties or the invitees' fun, regardless of if they're causing trouble or not. But though she'd never admit it, it's mostly because she has no idea how to handle more serious subjects. When living a life dedicated to fun, it's hard to deal with reality.
  
  - What Boundaries? | Jade has no boundaries with physical contact or for how much fun is allowed without disturbing the closest neighbors; and they're pretty far apart. She does things for two reasons: because it's fun, and because she's rich. To hell if any non-existent concept is impeding that.
  
  
  Hobbies: Partying, dancing, loud music, skydiving, spending money, giving it away, making wacky games with strange prizes (mostly during her drunken parties), and all of it at the same time.
  
  Habits: Types in all caps, excessively swears despite not being angry, swings her arms wherever when staying idle, does little hops on her right foot when turning around, drools with her tongue wide open when spacing out in thought, swings one arm around a person's shoulders no matter if they've just met or not, laughs at nearly everything with all her heart, and dances to any music.
  
  Problem: Jade's older half-brother, Dennis, passed away recently in a car accident. With no heir and retirement some years away, the parents face a potential takeover of their position from their rivals. That is until remembered that they had a "distant relative" somewhere in Utah. Jade's call and message history are full of their pleads and fake apologies. She already made up her mind to settle into the meaningless life they provided her; it's unfair to flip-flop just when she's finally settling down...
  
  Drive: Jade has given up on a fulfilling life, embracing her parents' demeaning words, and she wants to keep it that way. This temporary bliss has been the most joy that Jade has felt in her life, and she desperately wants to preserve the pristine life that Allgood has. Without the life here, she'd lose the place where she feels the most "at home." And without it, the only place she could return to is her family, who has since been calling for her return...
  
• 
  In a small town like Allgood, everyone knows who Jade is. Her reputation is like a gumball machine; you never know what you'll get. On one hand, she's an amazingly kind person who brings the energy to her parties. On another, her entire being is a public disturbance, and it's awful how the worst of her punishments have been slaps on the wrist. With equal parts loud wild child and social rich kid, anyone can tell when Jade is or has been around. In school, she's just as boisterous; yet somehow attentive and studious for class. And, though many people consider themselves friends with Jade, none are exactly close to her.
  
  But if there's one thing everyone can agree on, it's that Jade throws a killer party. Picture young teenagers given all the money in the world to do whatever they want; to fulfill any desire they have within a couple of hours. These are what her parties comprise: sheer, unmoderated fun.
  
  Throughout these parties, it is known that Jade has:
  
  - Made a crude Slip N' Slide that goes from the third floor of her mansion, down the staircase, out the door, and into her pool... while wasted
  
  - Flooded the streets of a nearby neighborhood with plastic balls... while wasted (he cleaned up the day after)
  
  - Dipped her entire body in chocolate and ran naked, calling herself "God's Holy Shit"... while wasted
  
  - Partied around an animal keeper's pet chimpanzee that she hired... while wasted
  
  - Chugged a baby pool full of tomato soup... while wasted
  
  - Gotten food poisoning, spent the next two hours vomiting, then returned to partying... while wasted
  
  - Ran a game where people could win expensive cars if they drove them off a lengthy ramp and landed back on its wheels after a flip... while wasted
  
  - Gotten a golf cart stuck in a tree after flying from her mansion rooftop... while wasted
  
  - Crashed a helicopter into her pool... while wasted
  
• 
  Jade had everything and nothing at once. If you told anyone that she was once a cold, studious and hard-working girl, nobody would ever believe you. Once, there were people that she needed to impress. Once, she had to maintain constant eyes over her own steps.
  
  Jade Canby should never have been born. Her father was a top executive of an airline company; her mother was his secretary—and not her father's wife. As he claims, she seduced him.
  
  In this situation, many other magnates would say that Jade had it lucky. The news was brought to the couple, and the wife set an ultimatum: leave the child in their care, and the news would never leak. The secretary, ashamed of her actions, resigned after giving birth. The couple and their pure-blooded son didn't mistreat Jade, nor did they give her any special treatment. She was their responsibility, and that was all. She wasn't special to them, and they neatly swept the incident under the rug. However, there was always an overbearing air whenever she and her family were in the same room.
  
  Growing up, this air became apparent to Jade. As soon as she could comprehend it, her parents explained her origins in a matter-of-fact manner. The rest of the lecture could be summarized as: "You won't ever amount to anything special. In your situation, the life we've given you is a blessing. Whatever aspiration you may get, let it go."
  
  To a then 12-year-old child, those words practically defined Jade's life with her family. But she didn't take it lying down; it was a challenge. All she needed to do was prove to them that she was special! That she could do the same things that they could! At this point, Jade's family didn't care what she did, trusting that she was smart enough not to ruin what they've built. She hired the finest tutors in business and marketing, took on year long courses to get better—all by using the money she was granted.
  
  And the fruits of her endeavor? An invitation to see her half-brother's inheritance be set in stone.
  
  At age 16, she asked her parents if she could go live in a small town by himself. With no hesitation, they agreed.
  
  There was an old mansion on the outskirts of Allgood, Utah. They bought and renovated it for Jade's sake, providing the minimal necessities when they finished. The first thing Jade did upon arrival, ignoring the luxurious decor and the mahogany-scented rooms, was to crash in the bedroom and cry. Her parents' lecture echoed within her head: let it all go.
  
  That is exactly what she did.
  
  And since then, she couldn't have been happier.
  
  Once she accepted the fact that she'd never amount to anything special, Jade lived her best life. Nobody held any expectations for her; her parents kept sending her money and let her do whatever. The fact of the matter was, she could do whatever she wanted to. Renting out a helicopter? Just one click and it'll be here by tomorrow! Need 100 pounds of cola? Why not! Jade enrolled in school, and she could finally stop watching her toes in the cream of the society.
  
  Because Jade is rich! Jade is amazing! And she doesn't need to be anything else...

    public image

    
    Mostly, Marcus is known for being that weird angry kid. More recently, it's started going around that he's part of those late night races, and that he's fast.
    

    Gruff and withdrawn, Marcus would rather spend time alone tinkering with mechanical things over interacting with other people. He likes solving problems and fixing things, which are easier to do with machines than with people. He's irritable and often mean around his peers, though this is really a defense mechanism: lacking an easy way to communicate with other kids while growing up, he's extremely poorly socialized and deeply lonely. He has a weird, deadpan sense of humor and a mulish stubbornness. He's not easy to like, and even harder to befriend, but if you manage it he's very much a ride or die friend. He can hear and lip read just well enough to bluff his way through most spoken conversations, but he prefers to communicate via written conversation.
    

    mind

    mythos

    background

    Nine years younger than his closest sibling in age, Marcus was born as an ill-conceived attempt by his mother to save her failing marriage. While this never works, things were increasingly complicated by Marcus getting very sick around three years old, and while he got better, he lost most of his hearing and never recovered it. At the advice of his doctors, he was put through public school and not taught sign language. Consequently, having difficulties communicating with anyone, really, Marcus struggled in school both academically and in making friends. By high school, he'd gained a reputation for being weird and hostile--that time a bully teased him in bio and Marcus broke his nose with a text book is mostly responsible.
    
    His home life isn't much better. His mother, desperately trying to pretend like their family is fine and everything isn't falling apart around her, has never met Marcus halfway in his attempts to talk to her in a meaningful way, and they mostly politely and quietly exist in each other's orbit. His father, disappointed in his life and his job and his Deaf son mostly ignores Marcus, which he finds preferable. It's when his father doesn't ignore him that things get bad.
    
    Marcus spends as little time at home as possible. Historically, his two main haunts have been the salvage yard and the arcade. Having acquired his license in the past year and with two vehicles to play with, he's now equally likely to be found on the roads around Allgood. He's becoming a familiar face at the late night, not so legal races that spring up on the dirt roads near the lake. While mechanically inclined, he has no interest in robotics or computers or anything else "practical" that could get him a coveted internship at the Loop--he's only concerned with figuring out how to make his salvaged Mustang go faster.
    
    In the past few years Marcus has also begun to teach himself ASL. Lacking anyone to practice with, he mostly signs to himself, which definitely has not made him look less weird.
    
    

    vehicles

    1956 F-100--an old truck of his grandfather's abandoned in the barn, Marcus has been teaching himself how to fix things since he was a kid on it. It runs mostly fine these days (the radio doesn't quite work right, but Marcus has never really noticed), and is street legal and registered.
    
    1967 Ford Mustang GT--found in the salvage yard, Marcus has put it back together for the past several years, using a lot of...unorthodox parts also found in the yard. Runs well enough to get him into trouble, but not always well enough to get him out of it. It's unregistered, and at this point certainly not street legal.
    
    

    family/friends

    Owen Fredrickson--Marcus has been hanging out at the salvage yard since he was ten or so, and Owen is one of the few adults Marcus has a relationship with that isn't antagonistic.
    
    David Pasternak--Marcus' father. Works at the Fisher Space Pen factory. Mostly drinks beer and watches NASCAR when he's at home.
    
    Peggy Pasternak--Marcus' mother. Church secretary and hopeless pollyanna.
    
    Maryanne Pasternak--Second oldest of Marcus' three sisters, and the only one who still lives in the area. Has a job at the Loop. She and Marcus are not close.

  childhood

  WIP
  
  

  teenage years

  
  Gabrielle had everything until her brother went missing on a camping trip. Gabrielle holds her father responsible for her brother going missing. Mathew, her father, never explained what happened that night. Mathew only stated he woke up early in the morning to go fishing; when he returned Gabriel was gone. The police department labeled Gabriel as a runaway; the case was closed.
  
  Katherine Scott tried to plead with Gab’s father to reopen the case. But it settled; there was nothing he could do. It wasn’t long before the strain of Gabriel going missing wore down the family. Gabrielle was a straight-A student. And in good academic standing started skipping class and partying.
  
  Towards the end of the academic year, Gabriel’s body was found at the edge of town. Things took a turn for the worst. Leaving the remaining members of the Scott family, in chaos. Gab’s parents filed for divorce. Katherine moved to the basement of their home. Gab's figured her parents wanted to wait to sell the house until Gabrielle went to college.
  
  Gabrielle took the loss of her to bother hard. He was the other half of her soul and they relied on each other. Now she had to rely on herself. Once Gabriel was buried, she started to drink and take drugs to take her mind off the pain. She would stay out late, hanging out with her group of friends, who everybody called the ‘Trouble Five.’ Gabrielle knew it would upset her parents. However, her parents didn’t say anything because they thought it was a phase.
  
  Gabrielle enjoyed living this lifestyle; however, she battles feeling lost, missing her brother every day because he was the only one who understood her. Lately, she wondered what more there is to life than party’s, shopping, and punishing her parents. With college coming up, she felt like she had to figure out who she was and wanted to be. And she absolutely had no clue.

• Skyler Lucas Wiley
  
  
  Appearance

  Skyler has dark wavy hair and cobalt-blue eyes. He has a straight, freckled nose and expressive, upturned eyes. His hair, unruly and often disheveled, curls around his ashy ivory cheeks and frames his gracile, angular face in a charming, leonine manner. He has a sharp smile that cuts clean across his face, upper lip often quirked to the left for a slyer, more mischievous expression of joy. He stands at around 5'9. He's a lean, rugged youth with a sociable, sarky countenance.

  Personality

  Skyler is a bold, reckless, enigmatic youth with a quick temper and a spiteful disposition. He has been holding several grudges toward the town's inhabitants since the third grade. He is a hubristic, intemperate, impetuous individualist. He's been unleashing his unbounded rage upon Allgood since 1966. He is a sensitive, introspective, dependable inquisitive. He has never broken a promise. He leapt over a desk and broke Jimmy Stow's nose during sixth grade geography and has been the bane of all school staff and faculty ever since. He is very sociable while also being infamously hostile.

  • History

    PROBLEM
    His problem? His stepdad. The guy's a total douche. Has a righteous stick up his ass. Skylar doesn't like the way old Chris treats his mom, and Skylar isn't too timid to tell him his thoughts. The two of them are in constant conflict. And that's not his only problem. Skyler has made a number of enemies over the years with his incessant fighting. There are more than a few folks in his grade who'd like to bash his face in.
    

    
    

    
    

    Drive.​

    
    Skyler's biggest drives are his anger and frustration. He wants things to change. He's afraid to stay trapped in his life and he's looking for a way to fix things.
    
    

    Public Image.​

    
    Skyler is known to start fights. He's not popular by any means, but he's well-known. Most avoid him for fear of getting on his bad side-- but anyone who knows him well knows he'll do anything to help and protect his friends.
    
    

    Background.​

    
    Skyler comes from a lower-class family and lives in the suburbs with his mom, Loraine, his step-dad, Chris, and his dog, Pagan. During the day, he can most often be found near Larry Llama's, the lake, or the library. At night, he can be found bumming around Sunrise Park, the arcade, or out on the town. He has a real nose for trouble and he finds plenty of it-- when he isn't instigating it. He's an avid explorer, and enjoys venturing places he shouldn't be. Skyler spends his free time skateboarding, playing video games, and reading comic books (when he isn't practicing recreational drug use out in the boonies). Making music is one of the only things he lends patience to, and he can be a real nerd when it comes to the music he likes.
    
    Skylar's dad disappeared ten years ago, when Skylar was eight. No note. Not a trace. The rest of the people in his life have moved on, much to Skylar's frustration since he has found himself unable to. Thoughts of his missing father secretly haunt his nights and daydreams. To admit it he would feel childish, but he hopes that his father is still alive, being held prisoner by some nondescript. government entity. His fantasies run wild. Will he ever find closure?
    
    

    Family.​

    
    Mother - Loraine Catherine Wiley (Alive): Skylar has a rocky but protective relationship of his mother. He resents her for moving on where he can't, and he feels bitter that she doesn't seem to understand his frustration. She works as a receptionist at a Big Company.
    
    Father - Stephan Wiley (Presumed deceased): Skylar hoards his father's things and keeps them like precious treasures in the basement. Stephen Wiley was a software engineer at a nondescript government entity office.
    
    Stepfather - Chris Nochrin (Alive): Skylar hates this man. And he has no problem showing it. Chris' attempts to connect with his step-son often backfire miserably as the two have very little common ground aside from Skylar's mother.
    
    Pets - Pagan, the dog (Alive): Pagan is getting old now. But he's always been a good dog.
    
    

    
    
  • Relations

    
    
    

    
    

    Story Langdale​

    
    Skyler and Story have been best friends since the day they met. Or so, Skyler will say. Though Story adamantly denies having any association with Skyler during school hours, the pair have spent countless summer nights jamming out in Skyler’s garage. Skyler has a deep respect for Story and thinks the world of him. He’s constantly pushing Story to do things outside of his comfort zone. But there’s just one thing stopping Skyler from confiding in Story… a secret he can hardly keep to himself.

    
    
    

    
    

    Justice R. Bright​

    
    Skyler has a certain inexplicable fondness for Justice, who he pesters to no end. The two hang out most often at the junkyard and can be seen passing a joint between them while Justice tries to teach Skyler to sign simple expressions. Together they are a formidable pair of rebel-rousers. They’re not exactly best-friends, but Skyler would defend Justice to the ends of the earth.

[Togy]

NAME:
Eugene H. Mattheson

AGE:
16

GENDER:
Male

SEXUALITY:
Heterosexual. He's really not interested in dating during high school though, despite what his damned traitorous teenaged hormones might say otherwise.

GRADE:
11th, Junior

FC/DESCRIPTION:
Standing at 5'7 with few muscles, Eugene's an unassuming, unthreatening kid. It's a safe bet that just about anyone could beat him in a fight, honestly. His hair is a perpetual mess, always stuck between bed hair and that blissful state of order. Eugene likes to keep his hair fluffy and long. Or, well, he doesn't like it, but he only bothers to get a haircut about once every two months. His dark brown hair usually reaches down to his collar bone when it's grown out for long enough. His bangs always fall over his green eyes as well, and it's such a hassle having to blow hair out of his eyes every 30 seconds. More often than not, he can be seen with a tired frown as he's slumped against his desk at school, desperately trying to fall asleep.

BODY MODS/SCARS:
None at all. He doesn't even know if there's a tattoo parlor in town.

CLOTHING STYLE:
Eugene throws on whatever's closest on his mad dash out the door every morning on a school day. T-shirts, jackets, coats, jeans, cargo pants, and boots are all his style. Again, he doesn't care what he puts on, so half the time he runs out of the house in a hoodie three sizes too big or in some dumb Chemistry pun T-shirt. The color schemes differ drastically too, from drab black and white to colorful like red and blue. When he actually has time to prepare, he goes with button-down shirts, fancy-looking suit jackets and coats, dress shoes, and slacks. He, a sixteen-year-old boy, unironically wears a button-down shirt and tie to Robotic meets. His favorite ties are the ones with cat patterns, but he'd much rather die than let anyone know that.

Two mainstays of every outfit he wears are his glasses, wristwatch, and messenger bag. Yes, he needs glasses, he has Astigmatism, laugh it up, haha, four eyes. He's heard it all before people.

HEALTH:
Eugene has Astigmatism, meaning he's both near and far-sighted. In simple terms, this means everything he sees without his glasses on is blurry and incomprehensible, no matter how close to his face it is. In even simpler terms, he's screwed without his glasses, no two ways about it. Also, he may or may not have a caffeine addiction.

PERSONALITY:
Eugene's a mess of contradictions. He's a hard worker, but also inherently lazy. He has a 4.0 GPA, but he sleeps through every class. He's a sarcastic ass when he wants to be, and a surprisingly sweet and caring guy when he needs to be. Eugene's ridiculously intelligent and driven in almost every subject he puts himself into, and the only reason he hasn't graduated high school already was because the school board refused to let him skip a grade or two, despite the fact that he already knows everything he'll be taught from Junior to Senior year. Because of this, Eugene has come to the realization that he doesn't even have to try in school anymore. He knows everything he needs to know already, he beat the system. Nowadays, he rarely put any of the drive he used to have into just about anything. He sleeps in class, shrugs off responsibility, and dodges anything he has to put effort into. Maybe he's just looking for something exciting to put his time into nowadays.

HOBBIES:
The majority of Eugene's hobbies are really just things he does solely because they'll look good on a college resume. Other than those, he has some hobbies like gaming, programming, tinkering, baking, and sewing. Nobody knows about the last two, and he'd like to keep it that way. He likes to run tests with Chemistry in his room as well, having gotten hooked on the subject ever since he got a home chemistry set in 1976. He's also very fond of magic tricks.

HABITS:
Adjusts his glasses, adjusts his watch, scratches his hair, regularly uses idioms, and carries around a dictionary at all times.

PROBLEM:
Will be developed in the RP with the permission of TragicTree

DRIVE:
Eugene's drive, at the moment, is pretty self-centered. He's bored, and he's looking for some excitement. He's tired of going through the same motions through school every day, he thinks he needs something new in his life. He's having a midlife crisis at sixteen, that's it. He needs an event to push him towards becoming a generally more driven person at anything he does.

PUBLIC IMAGE:
Eugene, since elementary school, has been everyone's first choice on who to pick on. This was partly because children are inherently cruel and evil creatures, and partly because Eugene was always just too mature to properly make friends with kids his age before high school. He never lets it get to him though, either firing back at any teasing with copious amounts of snark or silently planning a way to get back at the jackass who made a "Four-eyes" joke, because god knows he's never heard that one before, how original. In his Junior year of high school, he's stopped being the number one target to pick on and is now mainly known as that one kid who sleeps in the back of class all day but still consistently has flawless grades in every class.

BACKGROUND:
Eugene was born as the oldest child of his family in Hell's Kitchen, New York, on January 3rd, 1967. As a kid, Eugene couldn't find a moment of respite from his younger sisters. They'd cry all night, break his toys, and tug on his hair, and worst of all, he kept getting a new younger sister year after year. With five little sisters, life could only be described as hell on Earth. Mercifully, in 1972, Scott and Theresa Mattheson finally decided that six children were more than enough, and Eugene was all for their decision.

It was a year later, when Eugene's uncle returned from their stint in the airforce overseas in 1973, that his family moved out of New York. A combination of increased housing prices, the fact that Eugene's uncle, who was his only living extended family member, was moving out of the city, and the fact that job availability was dwindling encouraged the Mattheson family to pack their bags and move to Allgood, Utah.

Moving into the town, Eugene's dad snagged a job as an accountant and his mom was hired as an elementary school teacher. With both parents working half the day, their overly mature eight-year-old son was left to pick up the slack. In Eugene's ideal world, he never would have had to learn how to change a diaper before his ninth birthday, or preferably ever.

The mindset that his sisters were unbearable lasted until Eugene started middle school. They were annoying, they cried if he didn't do what they wanted, and his youngest sister was the most insufferably clingy five-year-old he'd ever had the displeasure of living with. When Eugene really started getting into academics, though, he learned to put up with his sisters more easily. Sure, Allison would eat his homework, Sydney would never leave him alone, and Hazel's go-to response when getting in trouble was "Eugene did it" until she was thirteen, but they weren't nearly as unbearable as he used to think they were.

It was also around Middle school that Eugene first started getting bullied. He spent every waking moment studying up on every subject that caught his eye, and that naturally ostracized him from his age group. To a pack of twelve-year-olds that was an exploitable weakness. To make things worse, his eyesight started deteriorating around that time, so he needed glasses. You would not BELIEVE how many four eyes jokes those middle schoolers came up with. Add to that the fact that he let his air grow out longer than his sisters did and Eugene was just the easiest guy to pick on. He didn't really care, frustrating as all of it was, but it was a little demoralizing.

When Eugene started high school, his uncle moved out of Allgood, headed for San Francisco. That had been a shame, the man had been a favorite of Eugene and his sisters. As a Freshman, Eugene joined the Chess Club, Robotics Club, and the Math Team. Two of the three were unbearably boring, but hell, Eugene would do just about anything to convince the school board he was fit to skip a grade. Evidently, it wasn't enough, because, despite his near-perfect GPA and club record, he still had to go through his Sophomore and Junior year. By his Junior year, he'd given up on the idea of skipping a grade and decided it was best if he just saved himself the effort. So, he quit the Chess Club and Math Team, sleeps through his classes, and only attends Robotics Club anymore for college credit.

INTER-CHARACTER RELATIONSHIPS:
Wylie Goh: This kid is a genius. Eugene's used to being the top in just about anything academic, but Wylie breaks that record effortlessly. The two are in the Robotics club, and Eugene can fully understand why Wylie is the club president. Wylie upstages Eugene in just about every aspect of robotics, and Eugene can respect that.
