At times, his figure may seem imposing. There’s a lot of muscle in that weight, which he can attribute to his role on the football team. Due to his work at the gas station, Aidan has garnered rough hands and lower forearms. Aidan’s welcoming smile, and gentle blue-grey eyes, however, contrast with his intimidating figure. Aidan likes to have a nice, clean appearance, so he keeps his face clean-shaven, and hair combed. His attire normally comprises tucked-in, plaid button-ups with rolled up sleeves, neat blue jean pants with a belt, and a comfortable pair of boots. While working, however, he’ll normally wear scuffed pants and boots and a simple t-shirt.

He’s not all that outgoing, preferring someone else to start the conversation. However, once a conversation is started, Aidan is polite and well-mannered. Not one for cursing all that much, he tends to also avoid confrontation whenever possible. Though it would be unwise to take that as weakness; he may not start a fight, but he will finish one. Aidan is especially more polite towards the opposite sex, for instance, holding doors open, or saying the occasional “mam.” Generally speaking, Aidan tries to have a friendly and respectful attitude towards anyone he talks to, having said that, if anyone insults himself, his values, his friends, or family, Aiden will immediately stand up to defend them. Another major aspect to Aidan’s personality is his preference towards sensibility and simplicity. Thanks, in part, to his father, Aidan is a firm believer in the law of Common Sense. If it makes sense, great; if not, why bother? If there is no rhyme or reason to why something is being done the way it is, then why not change it for the better. Aidan is never satisfied with the “because that’s how it’s always been done” answer. If you can make something simpler and more efficient, go for it. Nothing irks Aidan more than having to deal with nonsense or BS just because it’s there and no one wants to change it.[/indent] [indent][color=800000]What I Know:[/color] Behind all the hard-working, simple life, blue-collar-esque exterior that Aidan portrays, is actually a very intellectual man. He loves to have debates and discussions on serious and mature topics, like religion, and politics; at least as long as both parties agree to keep level heads anyway. Aidan is constantly searching for more knowledge and even has a myriad of books in his room covering a wide range of topics; history, philosophy, even automotive. He’s by no means an expert in any field and will back the statement up, but Aidan loves learning about just about anything he finds interesting. He would love to share his budding knowledge with his friends, but he just can’t seem to get around the strange idea that everyone already sees him as a simple jock. Not only that, Aidan doesn’t want to come off as a know-it-all.[/indent] [hr][hr][center][img]https://media.tenor.co/images/c8f2c62d0cc11316bf12486bc9cd6a17/tenor.gif[/img][/center] [center]"[color=800000]Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated[/color]" - [color=lightgray]Confucius[/color][/center][hr][hr][center][h3][color=800000]Off the Record[/color][/h3][/center] [color=800000]║ My Dreams ║[/color] [indent]Earn a degree in American History, travel all across the US and probably retire back home.

His dad, Richard Piercemen, was born in Westworth as well, and worked the lumbermill out of highschool and up to when they closed it down. At that point he had to go find work in the city. His mother,Lee Ann, however, is a native of Atlanta, Georgia. She brought her Southern charm to Denver while she was in college where the two met. A few beers later, their relationship started. Lee Ann agreed to move to Westworth, both to be with Richard and to get away from the city life. Soon enough, Aidan was on the way. Aidan practically grew up outside. Even in this age of technology, when you live in a small town like Westworth, the best place to have fun is outdoors. His father introduced him to many things at a young age, cars and football being two big ones. Aidan learned how to work on cars during the summer months, and just about every weekend during fall, Aidan and his dad were throwing the ole pigskin. The rest of his time was spent either in school, or hanging with friends. His mother wasn’t on the sidelines the whole time. His mom passed on most of the mannerisms Aidan practices, along with her sense of fashion, which Aidan readily took to. Lee Ann is also the reason Aidan came to have a passion in history. Lee Ann was a history major and now curates a museum in Denver. Her passion for history rubbed off on Aidan. Combine that with his likeness for cars, and a small dose from his father, and Aidan fostered a passion for American history, particularly post-industrial revolution. Now, Aidan is trying to use his natural talent as a football player to earn a degree, and follow in his mother’s footsteps and obtain a degree in history; all the while trying to enjoy his high school years.

Astrid's path is sure to take her down the road of the starving artist. That being said, although she doesn't have an income, she does get occasional paid work doing artwork for the town in banners at community events and so on.[/i][/sub][/indent] [color=c25f7a]║ Appearance ║[/color] [indent] Standing at five foot nothing, Astrid is unusually small. Despite being naturally slim and dainty she has a face that's still carrying some extra baby-fat, giving her the appearance of someone three or four years younger than she actually is. A strong breeze might blow her over, as she has a certain frailty emphasised by oversized sweaters and hand-me-down shirts despite a stockier build. Dark brown hair and large blue eyes are the only features inherited from her mother, who she has only seen pictures of. The rest––bone-structure, height, freckles, gentle (and frequently seen) smile––all comes from her Dad. Astrid's resemblance to him is uncanny, and it is even more clear when they are placed side-by-side. Astrid's style of dress falls between 'lethargic hipster' and 'wannabe witch'. She wears a [i]lot[/i] of winged eyeliner to the point where it's almost a trademark feature––she might as well get it tattooed on. Black tops with dangerously low necklines often hang loosely around her, but it's not intentional: she isn't particularly buxom. Occasionally she has the urge to wear dresses but there is always a sense of discomfort around her when her knees (or any excess skin) are showing. In fact, an air of discomfort permanently surrounds her as she avoids eye contact even among friends. Scars: Astrid has skinned knees almost constantly and a few scrapes down her legs from when she used to own cats. Astrid hates cats, and the feeling is apparently mutual. One of these scars is slightly larger, and darker, than the rest––that's not from an animal but instead surgery to correct a badly broken bone. ([i]Note to self: never climb trees just because the boy you like is doing it[/i].) The only other distinguishing feature that might be counted is her nail art: she likes to paint her nails and stick stickers with little flowers or happy faces or both on them.[/indent] [hr][hr][center][img]http://i.imgur.com/iSXpONm.gif[/img] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cTLzPIzjt8][color=d08499]“I'm lying on the moon My dear, I'll be there soon It's a quiet and starry place Time's we're swallowed up In space we're here a million miles away.” [/color][/url][/center][hr][hr] [center][img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjQ4LmMyNTY2ZS5RVlFnUmtsU1UxUWdSMHhCVGtORi4w/possum-saltare-nf.regular.png[/img][/center] [color=c25f7a]║ Personality ║[/color] [indent][color=d08499]↳[/color] [color=c25f7a]The Positive[/color] [indent][color=d08499]♡[/color] Studious [color=d08499]♡[/color] Motherly [color=d08499]♡[/color] Artsy [/indent][/indent] [indent][color=d08499]↳[/color] [color=c25f7a]The Negative[/color] [indent][color=d08499]♡[/color] Softly-Spoken [color=d08499]♡[/color] Pretentious [color=d08499]♡[/color] Neurotic [/indent][/indent] [indent][color=d08499]↳[/color] [color=c25f7a]What You See[/color] A student with strictly 100% attendance over her entire time so far in high school, who has in-depth and carefully presented handwritten notes for each and every class she's ever taken, and who cries in the girls bathrooms if she gets anything less than an A+ (or so goes the rumor that someone spread). Astrid is a nerd, yes, and in particular can be quite obsessive over her favourite subjects and clubs, most of which have to do with artistic pursuits. Astrid is not very assertive and is generally agreeable, though sometimes frustration seeps through when certain people, usually in her clubs or partners in classes, don't meet expectations of hard-work that she sets of herself and others. She is softly-spoken and is not very good at using her words to argue or defend her point. Astrid has, both on her blog and for her friends, acted as an Agony Aunt; the one who offers great relationship advice and a shoulder to cry on and, on occasion, tough truths presented with just the right amount of honey to soften the blow. She appears to be deeply empathetic and cares about other people and their problems––maybe to a slightly patronising extent, if she's constantly trying to "fix" their issues.[/indent] [indent][color=d08499]↳[/color] [color=c25f7a]What I Know[/color] Astrid is genuinely kind, and even though her mothering can be suffocating at times, it [i]does[/i] come from a gentle nature. Good intentions are no excuse for a (sometimes) poor execution, however, and it's not clear whether or not her helpful advice is the product of reading too many girl's magazines or legitimate emotional insight. It's probably 50-50, with some of her advice being from a position of experience and others just winging it. She also holds grudges like she's the antagonist in an iconic Japanese horror movie. Although she seems agreeable because she doesn't argue well (due to the embarrassment of crying out of anger, probably) she tends towards passive-aggression as her defense mechanism, and can be surprisingly catty when given a half-decent reason. And it's true: she did legitimately cry in the bathroom at school over getting a B+ on a Trigonometry test. But she'll never admit it in spite of the evidence against her.[/indent] [hr][hr][center][img]IMG OR GIF[/img][/center] [center][color=d08499]“It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.”[b]– Lewis Carroll[/b][/color][/center][hr][hr] [center][img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjQ4LmMyNTY2ZS5UMFpHSUZSSVJTQlNSVU5QVWtRLC4wAAA,/possum-saltare-nf.regular.png[/img][/center] [color=c25f7a]║ My Dreams ║[/color] [indent]Astrid isn't sure what she wants to do just yet, but hopefully it could be something like... freelancing as an artist or photographer.

Her mother was thirty-six, and her father was thirty. They were both city folks at the time, though Lawrence Kitchener grew up in Westworth, Colorado. Her mom was sickly––terminally ill, in fact––and made the well-informed and consensual decision to have a child even if she would never see her grow up. With her father home from the military, discharged honorably due to an accident that limited his mobility, it seemed reasonable that he raise his daughter (mostly) alone in his inherited family home, creaky floorboards and leaky roofs and all. Her Dad was never the most outgoing of folk and was more of an outsider looking in on Westworth. Sure he went out hunting once in a while and went on excursions to have a few beers in the woods with his old school friends, but he was for the most part isolated. Astrid spent a lot of time with her Dad growing up, and for very good reasons. Lawrence Kitchener, bless his heart, is the overprotective type of father who whenever Astrid's male friends stayed over would insist on an open door policy. 'No marriage until you're thirty.' Astrid managed to break out of her shell in her middle school years thanks to good luck and good taste in friends. So far she has been adding pictures of herself and those she cares about to her journal for over three years so she can track their progress as they grow older together and on to the big bad world.[/indent] [hr][hr][center][img]http://i.imgur.com/A36g4tc.gif[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/Mok6Hmu.gif[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/fw7AHZx.gif[/img][/center][hr][hr] [center][img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjQ4LmMyNTY2ZS5RVU5CUkVWTlNVTlQuMA,,/possum-saltare-nf.regular.png[/img][/center] [color=c25f7a]║ Extra Curricular Activities & Sports ║[/color] [indent][color=d08499]♡[/color] Student Government [color=d08499]♡[/color] Film & Photography [color=d08499]♡[/color] Art [color=d08499]♡[/color] [color=c25f7a]Electives[/color]: Art, French [/indent] [color=c25f7a]║ Reputation ║[/color] [indent][i]Nerrrrrd[/i]! Astrid is known as a slightly neurotic over-achiever with some of the best class notes. Who ever heard of someone who does [i]extra[/i] reading? She has a reputation for trying to be helpful, but can sometimes go a little over the top, toeing the line between that and nosy.

[/indent] [color=7FFFD4]║ Appearance ║[/color] [indent]There's nothing immediately eye-catching about Kenzi's height or general appearance; her features tend to speak for themselves what with her pale complexion and blemish-free face. Some have said that Kenzi's eyes are quite striking, but she believes it's just because they are wide and rather expressive. Someone once told her that it was odd to see her dark green eyes but that same person was being kind of racist at the time and Kenzi didn't really know any better. She's just always had expressive, forest-green eyes; over the years she's managed to bring attention to them with the proper application of makeup. She goes for emphasis, though heavy makeup is so not her style. In fact her style is a bit more...naturalistic in tone. Or, in truth, a bit more 'urban' though she loathes to use such a generic term herself. No one can deny that she has a [url=http://68.media.tumblr.com/011e86caebe0c35060ddda6c31ee05c2/tumblr_og1oj9vWhs1v8sv5ko1_540.jpg]distinct[/url] and [url=http://68.media.tumblr.com/0b02571303659337cd35021a5ad30f0f/tumblr_og1ohafcF81v8sv5ko1_540.jpg]certainly[/url] [url=http://68.media.tumblr.com/756f58df6c7601b94602e7b958569302/tumblr_og1ohafcF81v8sv5ko3_540.jpg]striking[/url] sense of [url=http://68.media.tumblr.com/cab67f1f8babe9913f8b97a88aff81d7/tumblr_og1ohafcF81v8sv5ko2_540.jpg]style[/url] that gravitates towards the 'wear a big shirt so it looks like you don't have pants' end of things. Typically Kenzi is found adhering to no real sense of fashion while still coming off as stylish, to a certain degree. Thrift store casual is a style, surely. Kenzie hates when people are married to their outfits which is why she is so uncaring about her own clothing. The only time she dresses in a presentable, formal manner is when she's singing with the choir...and even then only because it's 'mandatory'. On colder days, Kenzi will don a hooded jacket while still sticking to her 'pants that are technically shorts but christ and large shirt' dress. It's not as if her legs are particularly worthy of being shown off in such a manner, she just feels like the look suits her. If not her personality. Kenzi's hair is of frequent medium length and often chestnut in color. It's her natural hair color as well, which always draws suspicious glances. She's not particularly fussed about her hair, it's just sort of there, and most of the time it's covered by various hats and headwear anyway. She keeps her bangs straight and the style of cut to a bob, thus ensuring that her plain featured face is on full display for the adoring population. It's appropriate, however, given that her face is so expressive. Her height and weight are, much like the rest of her, are average. Five foot two and slender with no real curves to speak of; she had been describe as having a 'boyish' build to her. She's still not sure what that means. Kenzi doesn't flaunt it not because she thinks she don't got it, but because she hates when people think they can use their looks to excuse a lack of personality. Kenzi doesn't want people seeing her and making a 'would fuck' judgment. Not that it would matter much, considering her preferences and all. She may not put a lot of stock in fashion or makeup or accessories, but at least at the end of the day Kenzi goes home happy knowing that she's authentic. And how many high school kids can truly claim that.

Whenever there's an incident at school that has no culprit, most turn to Kenzi as the scapegoat. Sometimes for good reason, but most of the time because she's an easy target for it. There's a noted lack of respect for authority due to her reportedly telling multiple teachers to fuck themselves with a colorful term for human genitalia and being caught twice tagging a wall. Rumors surround Kenzi like flies around...well you know the expression. While it's certainly true that her mouth has no filter, no one seems to stop and consider the sheer amount of issues they attribute to Kenzi. If she truly did half of the things she was blamed for she'd most likely be expelled or even in jail at the moment. But of course that doesn't concern those who are quick to point fingers. Kenzi is the perfect target because of well known incidents in the past, most recently her little stunt at the talent show. Many assume she'll drop out before the end of the year. Others have a bet going on whether or not she'll be arrested. And still there are those who wonder how the hell she managed to become the top soloist in the choir. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, and plenty of staffers who have supported these rumors still remember the last time a Lin wandered the halls. [/indent] [indent][color=7FFFD4]What I Know:[/color] While it's true that Kenzi has a bit of a vulgar mouth, the reality of the matter is that Kenzi is a confused person. She has two very different forces in her life and is slowly realizing that she can't make them both happy and doesn't quite know what to do. Standing at the crossroad of life that is maturity was never supposed to be this difficult. Kenzi isn't sure that she's ever made a decision for her own sake and her run-ins with authority and the talent show incident were her way of doing something that she wanted to do. Despite the claims that she'll be a dropout, Kenzi is in the top percent grade-wise in her year, a fact that she keeps to herself. She could be in the running for Valedictorian if she maintained. It's not that she's unhappy, it's just that school is about the only place she can actually be true to herself, even if that puts her at odds with others because of her attitude. While she isn't going to mouth off to teachers unless provoked, Kenzi still gets into trouble over seemingly nothing; again because of her reputation and that of the Other Lin as well as her uncertain nature, Kenzi accepts the punishments even when she didn't do the crime. Because that's what's expected of a Lin. The Lin Legacy, in other words. Slowly but surely she's starting to learn that in the end it's her life, not anyone else's. She can be her own person. She can do what her heart desires. Kenzi isn't sure that she even has friends, just people that take advantage of her reputation to remain under the radar and blameless. In all honesty, she's a deeply lonely person who still wants to find her voice. Ironic, considering her place on the choir, where she's known for her almost angelic voice.

Not like the performance at the talent show, but a genuine one. The more important dream is to stop living in the shadow of others and stick up for herself. Otherwise known as maturing. Ultimately, though, Kenzi wants to pursue her true love: using her voice to actually say something. Not as just a singer, but as a performer...a rap artist ideally, but just being able to perform without the pressure from outside sources would be the greatest accomplishment of her life.[/indent] [color=7FFFD4]║ Fears ║[/color] [indent][list] [*] Falling into a life of complacency.

The matriarch, Amber, lived in San Francisco for a time and gave birth to her first daughter, Kim, in the state. After a rather messy divorce from her husband, a music scout for a now-defunct record label, Amber took her daughter east and ran out of gas in Westworth. Amber never re-married but entertained a fair amount of suitors, all of whom dropped all contact when it became clear that Amber was pregnant. Mackenzie still doesn't know who her father is. While Amber managed to settle down and devote her time to raising her children by finding secretarial work (thanks to the boss taking a deal of pity on her) [/indent, she decided that her children shouldn't have to go through the same struggles. No parent wants their kids to be worse off, after all. Unfortunately, her new hours meant less time at home which meant it fell to Kim to be a parental figure for Mackenzie. Kim seemed like the cool older sibling when Kenzi was growing up, always looking out for her and making sure no one made fun of her...but the honeymoon didn't last long. By the time Kim was in high school, Mackenzie was already starting to emulate her big sister. Wearing the hand-me-downs and trying to be just like her big sister. And why not? Her big sister was a more active presence in her life. Kim, meanwhile, was leaving a legacy at Westworth High that followed Kenzi to the present day. Rarely a day went by where Kim wasn't in trouble for something, vandalism, theft, sex in the bathroom, smoking, dealing, a laundry list of offenses that she just managed to skirt around. People knew it was Kim but there was never just enough proof to pin it on her. Amber, fearing that Kim was going down an all too familiar path, tried to intervene. This only led to a fight that Kenzi overheard, culminating in Amber striking Kim and Kim striking back. Kenzi's opinion on both of them changed; but her love of her sister and her mother continued to pull at her. Kim dropped out in her senior year in spectacular fashion: by telling the principal and the student body what she thought of the school at an assembly. People say that Kim went out streaking, but it was really more cursing and shrieking. Kim has since moved in with a bunch of similar minded adults. Amber, not wanting Kenzi to follow in those footsteps, took a more active role in Kenzi's life, making choices for her and limiting her interactions after a vetting process. It was Amber who forced Kenzi to join the choir; Kenzi was forced to join an extracurricular and the choir seemed the least serious. Kenzi has since been unable to tell her mother about her dreams and goals in life, not that Amber would hear any of it considering her overbearing sort of attitude. Kenzi doesn't want to go through life without making decisions for herself, only recently realizing that her entire life had been dictated by the two older people in her life. With the choir, she at least has begun to learn that she genuinely enjoys singing. Amber wants Kenzi to be educated, get a stable job. Kim wants Kenzi to live the anarchy, hedonistic life. Kenzi just wants to be herself.[/indent] [hr][hr][center][img]http://i.imgur.com/ZxyqKlN.gif[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/0MVdqlA.gif[/img][/center][hr][hr][center][h3][color=7FFFD4]Academics[/color][/h3][/center] [color=7FFFD4]║ Extra Curricular Activities & Sports ║[/color] [indent]Soprano in the Choir.

Since then Kenzi has done little to break away from that reputation; as such she's considered to be nothing more than a rude, vulgar troublemaker. Not the class clown or those sorts, but the type of student who would just as soon start a fight or fail a drug test. But of course, reputations aren't everything. Her nickname 'Siren of Westworth' is both because of her vocal ability in the choir and because of a little joke 'if there's a Siren at Westworth, Kenzi's in the backseat'.
