PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: Definitely given the height gene of the family, Mercy stands at 6'1, her lanky build only making her seem taller. She stands with her shoulders back and head lowered, her green eyes often hard to read. Nicely tanned from the Australian sun and covered in freckles from head to toe, she doesn't bother to actually wear too much makeup, although she wishes she could cover her freckles. She dislikes them very much. Her hair; long, curly, and red, is often pulled into a messy bun as she doesn't really care what it looks like. On the occasion it is down, the ginger curls fall down to her shoulder blades. Though she doesn't have any tattoos, she possesses a few piercings, including a nose ring and multiple studs in her ear.

PERSONALITY: Introverted, blunt, playful, calm, realistic and down to earth, romantic, perceptive
LIKES: Traveling, the stars, smoking, playing the guitar and singing, reading newspapers, big dogs, museums, hot weather, snarkiness
DISLIKES: Rain, cats, large crowds, her freckles, being told what to do, cleaning, children, commitment

BIO:
Born in Australia to a higher middle-class family, Mercy believed she had it all. Two amazing parents and two messy but endearing younger twin brothers, she loved where she was at. But of course, everything had to change.

Especially close to her dad when she was a child, she and him were basically two peas in a pod. Wherever he went, Mercy was always tagging along, whether that be to the grocery store or to the bathroom (Which he would always get onto her for), she was there. He basically taught her everything she knew, the most memorable was the acoustic guitar, an instrument she fell in love with the moment she noticed someone playing it. He taught her how to drive a stick shift when she was 11 (Though she never really got the hang of it), and how to best catch and kill snakes. Overall, whenever she needed help or just wanted to talk, she would go to him.

But then when she was 12, he lost his job. An incident that severely damaged him and drove him to pick up drinking again, a bad habit he had developed during his earlier years. This made her parents' relationship crumble, something she's always been pissed about and she's never been the same. In her darkest moments, Mercy believes it was somehow her fault, but deep down she knows there's nothing she could have done about it.

The divorce was quick, but for Mercy, it seemed like a decade. Especially since no matter how she pleaded with her dad to stop, he said there was no way it wouldn't happen, which baffled her. She'd always known him to be a problem solver, but here he was, giving up everything over a couple pieces of paper. She realizes now that it wasn't that simple, but she still gets angry about it. Not only that, but what really got her was the aftermath. Once the divorce was filed and her parents said their goodbyes, he disappeared. She tried desperately to get him to answer her voicemails and texts, but it was futile after awhile. She'd given up hope on ever hearing from him again.

Two years later, her family moved to the U.S, which she assumed that her mom just wanted a fresh start somewhere new. Mercy attended her last three years at a public school before she left home, an aspiring musician, using her loss to drive her forward. She moved from place to place, performing to small crowds and picking up a couple odd jobs here and there to pay for bills and gas. Ending up in Santa Clara was just a coincidence, she didn't really plan to stay there, or anywhere else, really. Mercy just follows the stars, and this time the stars brought her here.

Name: Blaise Grey Johnson
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Homosexual
Occupation: Medical Lab Technologist

Physical Appearance: Taking after his mother, Blaise has distinctively high and pronounced cheekbones and almond eyes that give him a distantly sharp look. He's got a beautifully dark complexion, button nose, cute lips, and naturally frizzy hair. He's perfectly average at 5'10" and his body is perfectly average as well. He's content that he'll never have a 6-pack or rippling muscles. When he's not wearing his lab uniform, his clothes aren't particularly notable. However, he does regularly wear glasses and has an ornate golden locket that he wears as a necklace and never takes off.

Personality: Motherly | Softhearted | Pragmatic | Compassionate | Worrisome | Neat | Thoughtful | Tends to hide his own insecurities | Introspective | Modest | Forgiving | Patient

Blaise tends to take on the parental figure of whatever group he's in, pretty much regardless of age. He's got a motherly instinct and compulsion to take care of others, even to his detriment. Because of this, he tends to worry about the well-being of others and will often deal with his own emotions and struggles secretly. Nonetheless, he's incredibly compassionate and thoughtful of others, and tends to process situations sensibly and maturely. He's introspective and thinks deeply on things before he takes action. His soft nature means he's adverse to violence and confrontation, and will go out of his way to avoid it like kryptonite. Due to his kind and forgiving character, people sometimes feel like they need to protect him from those who would take advantage of his giving nature. It can be difficult to get him to express his true feelings. He tends to take a modest approach to things. He really sucks at telling jokes, doesn't curse or drink, and can become saddened easily when people disappoint him. He's not very creative or artistically inclined, except when it comes to his photography.

Bio: Blaise came from a lower class family, born and raised in Washington D.C.. They didn't exactly struggle to put food on the table, but they were never really able to afford anything beyond the necessities. They always kept to a strict budget. Played it safe. Blaise has 3 younger sisters, all of whom are very different from one another, but uniformly unite when it comes to protecting their older brother, who tends to be on the softer side of the tracks.

When he was 13, his parents met their untimely demise in a freak accident while riding a train to the smoky mountains. Blaise and his 3 younger siblings fell under the care of their ailing grandmother, who was more-or-less too inept to really take care of them. Because of this, Blaise had to forgo any semblance of what it meant to be a kid and took over the role as a caretaker. During his off hours from school, he was either studying or worked under-the-table part time jobs so he could buy his sisters things they needed or wanted. Blaise has always been a very diligent worker.

He scarified a lot to make sure his sisters were happy and taken care of. High marks in science during high school caught the attention of one of his professors, who referred him to one of his associates, Dr. Parvati Volovodov. Dr. Volovodov got Blaise a scholarship to go to college for free. Unfortunately, once it came time for his sisters to begin college, there was no way they'd be able to afford it.

In order to pay for his sisters to go to college, Blaise dropped out of university(during his final year) and began working in Dr. Volovodov's lab in Santa Clara, where he currently resides.

What brought you to Santa Clara?: A job opportunity that will allow him to pay for his 3 younger sisters to attend college.

Extra: His 3 younger sisters attend the same college, some university in Santa Clara. Did I mention they are extremely protective of him? And I mean, extremely. They once broke a guys nose for pushing Blaise during a crowded music festival. Their names are Terra + Tommie (the twins) and Aisha.

ᴘʜʏsɪᴄᴀʟXᴀᴘᴘᴇᴀʀᴀɴᴄᴇ:
<sup>Gabe stands about six feet inches tall. He's not the shortest of the bunch, which he is very thankful for. He is really fit from working out and weighs about one hundred and eighty pounds. Gabe has raven colored locked of hair that he likes to keep fluffed up or combed over. Sometimes, he'll have a messy or unkempt appearance, as well but that's only sometimes. Depending on what type of lighting he's in, his eye color can shift from chocolate brown to almost black color. He's of mixed ethnicity and his skin complexion showcases that really, really well.

Gabe is a really attractive male and certainly makes notice of that within just everything he wears. Anything he wears, he has to look his best or else, he won't wear it or go out anywhere. His wardrobe is literally filled with different types of clothing options that are made just for him and no one else.</sup>

ᴘᴇʀsᴏɴᴀʟɪᴛʏ:


<sup>Gabe is seemingly the person among his friends that likes to joke around and pull pranks on others. Gabe knows not to take things too far and he always let his friends and other people know that if he does take his pranks or jokes too far, just kindly let him know then he will stop. His friends do not even know when his pranks are coming and that's the way that he likes it because those turn out to be the best pranks. He's just the type of person that likes to see people smile and laugh because he doesn't like to see people frowning or anything. That's just the person that he is and Gabe thinks that's why his friends like and love him so much.

Gabe is sarcastic to the extreme. Just about everything that is uttered from his lips is a sarcastic remark or has a sarcastic tone to it. It's something that he is trying to control but he is having a rather hard since he's been sarcastic for a long time now. Gabe has always been a very ambitious and dedicated person, always finding new ways to succeed and even finding ways to help his friends succeed right there with him. One of his reasons for moving to Santa Clara is so that he can become a male model. Gabe knows that he can do it and some of his friends even think so, as well.</sup>

ʙɪᴏɢʀᴀᴘʜʏ:
<sup>Gabriel was born on July 31st as he is the product of Eli and Patricia, his parents whom he used to adore so much. Still does but not as much as he used to. A few years, approximately three years later, he was supposed to have a younger sister but she passed away only mere minutes after childbirth. His parents were devastated to have that happen to them but once that did happen, they did not even try to conceive again as they were happy with Gabriel for the time being, anyway. It was when Gabriel turned eight years of age that his parents knew that he wasn't exactly the straightest arrow in the quiver because of the way he slowly started to act. His father wasn't pleasantly surprised about the fact, to be honest, while his mother did not really make matters any better by siding with his father. Gabriel constantly heard his parents talk about sending him to a boot camp, or just to a camp so that he could get better. It honestly pissed him off to hear such words from the people he loved so he came out to them as bisexual but admitting to liking both guys and girls.

As time went on from that standpoint, he found a group of friends that accepted him for who he was and he quickly became in love with them. Gabriel remained truly loyal to the bunch and never once did he suspect any backstabbing, which is a good thing to him. This new group of friends really showed him new things and gave him exciting experiences that he will never forget. Plus, they've been there with him through thick and thin and even stayed at most of their homes whenever he and his parents weren't getting along or bothering him about his sexuality.

Years have passed and Gabriel, along with his group of friends, has built a bond that makes them closer than most siblings. They've all been having problems with their parents, some more drastic than others but once they graduated high school, a few days later they met up and discussed moving out of their parent's home. Gabriel moved out because his parents never accepted his bisexuality and weren't really there for him like his friends were. So, of course, they all agreed and the next couple of days, they were all packing up and heading to New York City. But Gabriel had different plans for his life and haven't told his friends that he's going to Santa Clara instead.</sup>
