Forrest

Name: Forrest Calhoun
Age: 19
Appearance:
Height: 6"1
Weight: 80kg
Self-Conscious: He doesn't get much respect around the house from his parents, but reckons he deserves loads as he is the next generation of the family. He doesn't really care what his family think though. He's too busy getting drunk.
Family Feelings:

• Robbie - No matter how much Forrest disrespects authority, he loves his grandpa and all of his stories from the war.
• Linus - He's a kid, and just a kid to Forrest. Nothing more, nothing less. Who cares about someone who can't even legally purchase alcohol?
• Alex - He doesn't get on too well with the idea of his big sister having a boyfriend, whilst he is still single. Plus, Alex is always so quiet. What is up with that dude? (They haven't actually met yet, but this is his reaction to the very idea of him.)
• Gia - Though she is his big sister, Forrest feels weirdly over-protective of Gia, probably because he doesn't have any permanent relationships with any other girls around his age.
• Jay - Jay seems to hate all of his siblings, and the feeling is mutual between him and Forrest. Nobody knows why.
• Connor - His dad is a drag, an old man, and an authority figure like any other. So, he is by default a terrible guy. Forrest feels the urge to rebel against him at all times.

Linus Macaulay

Name: Linus Theodore Macaulay
Age: Almost 10
Appearance:

Height: 4 feet, 2 inches
Weight: 58 pounds
Self-Conscious: Linus is still a bit too young to have a fully developed self esteem. He's fairly blind to his own faults, but at the same time he doesn't think he's better than anyone else. On some level he does understand the concept of social status and that some people are liked better than others, but he's not quite sure where he fits into that system. Again, there's a lot of cognitive development that he hasn't completed yet, so he hasn't made many strides in judging his own character.
Family feelings:
Forrest - Forrest's drunken habits scare the crap out of Linus, and Linus tends to be a bit anxious around Forrest because of it. Linus's father is a bad alcoholic, so he's developed a bit of a phobia.
Alex - Hasn't met Alex prior to the start of the RP.
Gianna - Possibly Linus's favorite cousin, the kid really looks up to Gianna and is constantly vying for her attention. He probably won't really like the fact that she's got a boyfriend now...
Jay - Linus doesn't really understand Jay's hatred for his family members, so much like he does with Gianna, he follows Jay around like a lost puppy.
Connor - Linus really looks up to his uncle Connor and desperately strives to earn his approval. He's like that with a lot of people, actually. The poor kid doesn't get a lot of acknowledgement at home, so he's pretty starved for affection.
Affiliation with family: The mother's sister's child. Cousin to the kids, nephew to the parents, grandson to the mother's parents, no relation of father's side of the family.

Alex Creek

Name:
Alexander Creek

Age:
22

Appearance:

---

---

Height:
5'11"

Weight:
173 lbs.

Personality:
(Introverted/Sensing/Thinking/Perception) To most Alex appears cold and standoffish, but those who know him well realize he is just a quiet guy. He can seem rude but that is only because he is very direct and rarely lets bias change how he deals with things unless he REALLY dislikes someone. He is fiercely loyal and if someone hurts or wrongs someone he cares about he will defend them, but he rarely defends himself. He loves bringing characters to life and enjoys making people happy despite not seeming like it. He tends to have issues with trusting people, but if people try hard enough they can gain it. When it comes to Gia he can be a sappy love struck buffoon, but he always does his best to make her happy.

Not entirely necessary bio

Biography:
Alex is the second oldest of his siblings. When he was younger he connected fairly well with others, but eventually someone really close to him betrayed him. Also almost all of the friend groups he has ever been in tend to have a large falling out leaving him to have to decide which side he would join. He never could choose so he always got left behind. He has never had a real relationship either. The only occurrence was in fifth grade he rode on the bus home and sat beside a girl. The whole year they got really close even to the point of having a secret 'boyfriend/girlfriend relationship'. Alex thought it was real but over the summer they lost contact and when they met up the next school year she acted like she had never known him.

Over the next couple of years he was constantly bullied yet never stood up for himself. Over this time period he closed himself off to many things primarily when it comes to how he feels. He rarely opens up to anyone now. It takes a long time and much kindness. He is fiercely loyal and will always stand by them but in reverse effect if they break his trust he will never be on their side again unless they go to great lengths to get his forgiveness. Only once starting high school did he start opening up, but what he opened up was really a colder side of him.

He didn't connect well with most of the people around him because of the fact that most only looked at the surface and didn't try to get to really know him other than a select few. His years at college, where he studies theater arts, were pretty uneventful except for the moments when he was on stage until he met Gia.

Pᴇʀsᴏɴᴀʟɪᴛʏ:
Easily Manipulated. Friendly. Outgoing. Caring. Stubborn.

Gia is someone that would see you eating lunch by yourself and not hesitate to walk over and keep you company. She is usually the first one to greet you and the last to tell you goodbye. Granted, she might sit down and end up eating half of your meal while she talks to you but she means well, she cares. Gia is not dumb, but can often appear air-headed and aloof based on her social activities and her tendency to go off on a tangent of something that she is passionate about. She wants the best for everyone and herself. However, once a seed is planted in her head or heart to put you as a bad guy, it will take a lot of energy and convincing for her to think otherwise.

Jay _____

Name: Jay [insert surname]



Age: 24 Years Old
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 179

Self-Conscious
Jay is very confident in himself, stranding away from the pack of degenerates he used to live with. He loves his mother as he believes he is the favorite son and never attempts to defy his father. As his parents age with time, Jay takes it upon himself to visit and take care of any of their needed chores. He doesn't owe them anything, but tries to do good in times of financial chaos. Though deep inside, he is not the prodigal son he wishes he was.

Family feelings
As the oldest son and only seeming caretaker, Jay sees all of his brothers and sisters as worthless pieces of shit that have basically abandoned their blood. Family is the most important thing to him, but at times he is clouded by the poor actions of his people. He does his best to be optimistic, but when the time arrives when optimism does not bind, he's able to snap.

Connor Calhoun


Male


Fifty two


Six foot four inches.


Two hundred and thirty four.


Easy Going, Confident, Friendly, Fun-loving, Stoic, Protective, Workaholic, Perfectionist

Connor, or formally known in the Calhoun Household as 'Dad'. He is considered to be by all means a good father by friends and other relatives for how he has been raising his kids as best he was able to. He carries a friendly and open attitude with anyone he meets and willingly strikes up a conversation with neighbors when he sees them or even strangers if he finds a good way to initiate if he's interested. Now as everyone is mostly older, he is more liberal with his more mature antics and actions with the rest of the family when relatives come over. Having a capable grasp on his own appearance, he keeps himself in shape while having a surprisingly good wardrobe which attributed to picking out clothing for his kids when they were younger and setting up outfits for them. Together, it makes Connor a surprisingly intimidating man to approach with an air of self-confidence that his presence seems to feel heavy with it.

While he may play the goofy and carefree card most of the time, he, of course, has limits on what he willingly let's go past him before fixing it. While not the strictest of parents, he has a firm hand on what he absolutely does not want them to do and makes it publicly known when it is crossed or comes near to it. He doesn't neglect on lecturing the significant others of his children when he first meets them (should they ever come) about his expectations of them as well. Besides that, he lets his kids have some sort of independence when they were younger and increased it as they got older so long they followed the household rules imposed on them. This lax parenting, however, is only a guise to his highly observant and smart nature that would be unexpected from him as he works behind the scenes to make sure they are safe. A form of helicopter-parenting which he doesn't let any of his children know of as they grew up when he monitored their activities more or less. Of course, he eventually got out of it as the children got older but he still keeps tabs on them to make sure they are safe or okay, even if they don't tell him or mom.

When not worrying about the family, he can mainly be found working and clocking in hours for overtime for his projects that he wants to finish early if possible. Having an extensive computer setup for his work at home along with a laptop suitable for working when mobile. When the rare moment of being free from work, you may see him enjoying himself on the neat setup he has for his computer. However, even he knows that being stuck inside the house isn't good for anyone and goes out more often than playing on the computer but sometimes he may take his laptop to work outside simply for the fresh air.
