Whether it's her immense height for a female, attire, eye catchingly loud attitude, or "badass" demeanor that she gives off. She usually has a scowl on her face, and keeps up an aura of a very venomous snake. One that you want to stay faaaaaar away from as possible. Unless you want to get bit. Course, that aura flips in the blink of an eye, that scowls turns upside down, and Claire is being personable and vibrant. It makes it hard to get a read or her, but easy to stop judging a book by it's cover. Or she just looks like a complete and utter tryhard. Claire is a tomboy, just super masculine. Whether it's her gruff, weathered voice, from all the smoking she does, and the tough-girl demeanor she gives off. Though, her body is fairly thin, and not especially muscular or fat. She seems to get by on the smallest amount of exercise, and the highest metabolism possible. Though, all the running she does (from people, and just in general) makes it easy to keep the body fat off. The other problem with the whole "masculine" thing is that Claire's body is fairly... flat. She doesn't have too many curves. Her chest is a 34B, and her behind is pretty flat, lacking in sex appeal. She has a boyest frame, to put it lightly. That's not even getting into her short brown pixie cut, or the fact that Claire is [i]enormous[/i] (up there with the boys). To say the least, Claire doesn't care that much about being the prettiest princess, or any of that jazz. She's already self-conscious. She's an Irish-woman to her very bone, and has a snappy attitude to match it. She's quick with her jabs, and will go to furiously angry in the blink of an eye. Claire's skintone is somewhat tanned due to all the sunlight she gets, but not too brown. She has like a slight brown hue. Claire's fairly obsessed with the punk aesthetic, so that is something she adopted well. From her short hair, to her makeup (usually she has on eyeshadow), to the piercings all over her body (her cheek, nose, ear, belly button, and nipples, are pierced). To her attire, she dresses to get a point across - other than that she likes punk - she wants to look tough, and look good. She dresses like a stereotypical tough-girl by wearing studded jackets, heavy boots, and more. Sometimes she dresses even lighter in things like t-shirts and jeans, and with her resting bitch face alone she gets across her point. Ironically enough, she doesn't have any tattoos at all. She has a diamond-shaped head that gets thinner the more you go down. She has a fairly good looking triangle-shaped nose, with triangular nostrils, and a thinnish nose bridge. Her eyes are unturned, and medium-sized, they usually have a piercing gaze in them as if Claire is staring right through you. Eye colors are a light-brown color to match her dark-brown haircolor. Ears are crescent shaped, and pretty damn big, not hilarious, but you'll definitely pay a bit of attention to them. Her lips are thin, and probably the least ladylike possible to make it hard to kiss her. To top it off, her jaw is squared, and sharp.[/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=Darkturquoise][b] PSYCHOLOGY [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"On a scale of one to school shooter, how much therapy do I need?"[/i] [indent][indent][indent] [color=Darkturquoise][b]MAIN GOAL ⫻[/b][/color] Claire's main goal in life is to, surprisingly, become a nurse. She wants to help people, and be someone who will make a difference in life. [color=Darkturquoise][b]PHILOSOPHY ⫻[/b][/color] Claire believes that everyone has a happiness out there, waiting for them, and most importantly, the decency of human kindness. She believes that there is good in everyone, and unhappy or bad people are the people who need kindness the most. She hates the self-sustaining cycle of rage and hatred that consume so many people, so she'll do anything to break it. Claire believes that true happiness comes from helping people. [color=Darkturquoise][b]SECRETS ⫻[/b][/color] Claire's biggest secret is her past. She hates the abuse she suffers, and will do anything to move on from it. To her, her parents died long before she was even born, and she lived with her grandparents for god knows how long. In addition, she keeps her sex life a secret due to the shame associated with it, and that she's not quite ready to come out as bisexual. [color=Darkturquoise][b]DESIRES ⫻[/b][/color] Claire wants to have fun, and will go to any length to forget about the past. Whether it's indulge in any physical pleasure from sex, drugs, or liquor. The consequences are irrelevant. [color=Darkturquoise][b]SEXUALITY ⫻[/b][/color] Claire used to call herself straight, but she's willing to throw herself into the arms of anyone. She's entertained the thought, and realized that she's bisexual from this point forward. Something that she's not willing to say out loud, but the girls of Farmer Hill don't seem to object. [color=Darkturquoise][b]FEARS ⫻[/b][/color] Above all else, Claire fears being weak. She fears that she lacks the strength to be her own person, and that she'll fail when it's the most important. Which has caused an obsession with appearing tough, and looking for strength whereever she can. [color=Darkturquoise][b]REPUTATION ⫻[/b][/color] Claire's reputation in Farmer Hill is pretty shitty. For starters, she's seen as the town bicycle. That's not great. On the other hand, all the shitty things she's done like vandalism, theft, and other acts, are catching up to her. Everyone in Farmer Hill knows about her, and knows she's a wild child. [color=Darkturquoise][b]PET PEEVES ⫻[/b][/color] Claire's main pet peeve is assuming things without knowing the context (or putting in the effort to learn it). Such as Claire, everyone assumes that she's trouble because of a variety of rumors, or just because they don't like her. She hates people who say and do things they don't believe in for approval, and she hates hypocrisy above all else. [color=Darkturquoise][b]QUIRKS ⫻[/b][/color] Claire has the oddest habit of them all... chewing on objects. It's a habit that she had when she was a kid. Whenever she gets a chance, she'll chew on a solid object that'll fit in her mouth. Which is why a lot of her childhood toys have chew marks on them. [/indent][/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=Darkturquoise][b] BACKSTORY [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"Why do you care about where I came from? Farmer Hill, Montana... Jesus..."[/i] [indent][indent]Claire was once a good girl, many moons ago. She had hope, she believed in something. She was just a native of Farmer Hill, the daughter of a diner owner, and a waitress. Everything was good... up until the diner was closed down due to running out of money. Then the O'Sullivan's idyllic dream went sour, and they moved to a trailer park in Mason Square. The downgrade tore the O'Sullivan family apart, and Claire's parents turned to alcohol to cope. And they weren't the happy kind of drunks. They were the violent kind of drunks that turned their rage on anything they could. Claire was too young to understand alcohol, but she had no choice but to take the beatings with a straight face. Might as well, because it wasn't like Claire had any other options. She would go to school, and lie about what happened. Eventually, Claire became the punching bag for all sorts of abuse, since her parents had no one else to vent their rage towards. And there wasn't anything Claire could do to stop them. She'd be homeless or dead if she tried to fight back, but this planted rage in Claire. Rage towards her parents, and rage towards herself due to being so weak. There were some comfort in life; her grandparents. She went to stay with them as much as she could, since they only lived a short walk away at their ranch. She stayed there long as she could, as much as she could. Coming up with excuse after excuse... until they got suspicious, and called child services. This was the relief that Claire was looking for, and she spilled everything they did. She was promptly removed from their household, and placed in the care of her grandparents. With her parents instructed to never come anywhere near her, or her grandparents. This was like the dream that Claire was desperately looking for... only that the damage was already done. She thought that it was over, but the mental damage was already done. She couldn't help but think about them constantly, and it hurt her in every way. As she matured and developed, she lashed out, and eventually sought solace wherever she possibly could. It started with hanging out with the wrong crowd, to trying drugs, to experimenting with the same gender. In the end... it became a habit that shaped her. Into a hedonist that wants to do anything to forget about the past, and erase those thoughts. She held onto her morals, but she had to let them get a little loose to get over this. It shaped her reputation around the township to something a bit more corrupt and twisted. She did the barest minimum to get through school to get a diploma, but she started thinking about her future... she wanted to be a nurse, and help people in situations like hers. She followed through on her grandparents plans to get her into Grand Ridge, and got into nursing, becoming one of the most well-known students of Grand Ridge. But old habits die hard.[/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=Darkturquoise][b] SKILLS & TALENTS [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"Got a boo-boo? Let Dr. Claire patch it up."[/i] [indent][indent][indent] [color=Darkturquoise][b]Medical ⫻[/b][/color] Claire, for what it's worth, sticks to those books. She's [i]determined[/i] to become a nurse, and has all sorts of medical knowledge. She knows injuries, and how to treat them. Hand her a medkit, and she'll have a stab wound patched up to the best of her ability... enough to get someone to a real doctor. [color=Darkturquoise][b]Sneaky ⫻[/b][/color] Years of acting out requires years of hiding. There was several times where Claire had to dip and duck from someone she robbed, or someone's house she vandalized. She turned it into an art, actually. Even if she got caught, she can run! [color=Darkturquoise][b]Fighting ⫻[/b][/color] A combination of techniques taught to her by Hagan and Samson (two men who hate each other with a passion, ironically). Because of her obsession with becoming stronger, and defending herself, she learned some moves from both of them, and feels confident enough in herself to put it into practice... but she never got into a situation where she had to use it. [/indent][/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=Darkturquoise][b] ABSTRACTION [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"Hey puddin'... do you [b]really[/b] want that handjob now?"[/i] [indent][indent] [color=Darkturquoise][b]SIGIL & LOCATION ⫻[/b][/color] [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/5/54/Blacksun.svg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/500?cb=20080228213425]Symbols of a sun, placed on her stomach over her belly button.[/url] [color=Darkturquoise][b]ABSTRACTION ⫻[/b][/color] Psionic-Strength, the ability to augment the user's body with their mental energy. [color=Darkturquoise][b]ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻[/b][/color] Claire's abstraction is practically a lower-yield version of telekinesis. Except she can only use that telekinesis on touch with other abilities. It's the manifestation of her will-power in her body, and allows her to tap into a strength that no one else has access to. She is immensely stronger than a human being should be, being able to lift 425lb with no problem normally, and strike with bone-breaking amounts of force. Because it's telekinetic in nature, she doesn't have to worry about bracing, and grip, because a telekinetic-field is wrapped around it and allows her to move it. [i]Simulating[/i] true strength. This ability also comes with a durability. When she senses danger, she subconsciously projects a defensive field around herself which blocks damage. However, there's a limit to how much it can take before breaking. It can, at most, stop five pistol rounds before giving in. Which means that weakshit punches and kicks will only annoy her slightly. Whenever she uses her ability it creates a blue aura around herself, specifically the limb that is doing the work (so if she gets punched, the aura should appear at the point of impact). The Abstraction, like the powers of many Awakened, are linked to her emotions. Feeling anger will increase the potency of her strength, and durability. To the point where she can lift up 850lb, and take a hailfire of bullets, at max rage. This changes the color of her aura to a bright-red color, and gives off a red "smoke." [color=Darkturquoise][b]IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOUNTAIN ⫻[/b][/color] The mountain, of course allows her to normally lift around 850lb, and 1225lb when enraged. Making her a physical powerhouse, but it breaks a sub-conscious limit in her head and allows her to use telekinesis. It allows her to lift up any object that is below a hundred pounds, and small, and manipulate it. Twist it, move it, and send it flying. She can only lift up around two objects at a time, and it requires hand movement from both of her hands - one for each object. [color=Darkturquoise][b]AURA SENSING ⫻[/b][/color] Claire's aura reading potential stems from her innate empathy. She can sense the auras of anyone that is injured, but how injured dictates how far away she can sense them. She may be able to faintly sense someone who cut themselves, but she can sense someone who is horribly wounded from 68 meters away. Note that this only applies to people who are presently injured. If someone were have been treated for their injuries, they'll be invisible to Claire. [color=Darkturquoise][b]LIMITS ⫻[/b][/color] Claire's abstraction, like many others, require a degree of mental effort in order to tap into its telekinetic force. Such prolongation of usage tends to weaken her body and mind; and in order to avoid headache and fatigue Claire has to limit herself in using her abstraction, usually few minutes of extensive and constant use before she feels such effects. Giving proper use and control, Claire manages to use her power for at least 30 minutes or two third of that if in stressful situations. Other Awakened can resist her field's effects, and thank blows from her. [color=Darkturquoise][b]WEAKNESSES ⫻[/b][/color] Claire's field can possibly be ignored by the Awakened, and other Extra-Normal beings. As her shield only protects her from [i]physical [/i]harm, but not [i]mental[/i]. A mental ability of any kind being used on her can interfere with the connection between her shield and her mind, and make her vulnerable by removing it. Or creating a weakness in the shell.

It almost hides the fact I'm getting fat!"[/i] [indent][indent]Kimberly (or Kim as she likes to describe herself) is one of the girls that thinks she's plain. She feels as if she doesn't have the face, body, or curves, of models. And in truth, she doesn't have the attributes that make them attractive. Instead, her round and pudgy face, large angular face, and glasses invoke a librarian look. The appearance of a brainy girl, they wouldn't be that far off. Kimberly likes to look the part. But, in demeanor, she appears to be very excitable, and mobile. Constantly on the move making spastic movements. This energetic, child-like demeanor shows in her face, too. Since, she's constantly smiling, and speaks in a cheerful manner. She speaks fast, but rarely speaks rudely. Not many people would perceive Kimberly as a threat, but some people get the feeling that she's faking. Which is true in some way. Kimberly's facial features are rounded, and her jawline is practically nonexistent. She at least wished she got to have a jawline, but she digresses. With her nose being large, round, she invokes a very child-like appearance about her. Her lips are almond-shaped, and not that large. Along with her ears being pretty small, and somewhat pointed at the tip - but her ears are always concealed by her lucious head of chocolate-brown wavy hair that goes down to her chest. Her eyes are droopy, and a bright-green color. Kimberly is also known for having an enormous forehead, one that she keeps covered with bangs. Kimberly is fairly thin, she has a little bit of pudge building up due to lack of exercise, and her terrible eating habits, but it isn't anything that can't be hidden underneath a heavy layer of clothing. Other than that, her skin tone is slightly pale from all the time spent indoor. She has blemishes on her face, and a little bit of acne. She doesn't have any marks on her body, other than a few childhood scars that haven't faded. Her skintone is the result of being primarily French, with a bit of German, [i]and[/i] being distantly Blackfoot. As for the rest of her body, she has a banana body-shape. Not a body with a whole lot of curves, her shoulders are around the same width as her waist. Her bust (28H) being fairly small, and same with her hips, she doesn't have a whole lot of curves. Kimberly dresses fairly plainly. It seems that she never wears outfits that catches the eye. From hoodies with dull colors, and jeans that are a few sizes too large for her. As Kimberly still gets most of her outfits from hand me downs. But, sometimes her attire dips into the hipster as she adorns varsity jackets, and other outdated outfits of the time. But this is rare. The only constant in her outfit is her black, wide-framed, glasses.[/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=Slateblue][b] PSYCHOLOGY [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"I feel normal. Am I normal? Do I [b]look[/b] normal?"[/i] [indent][indent][indent] [color=Slateblue][b]MAIN GOAL ⫻[/b][/color] Kimberly's main goal in life is to live life like they do in those photos. Which, to her, means that she wants to travel the world, and learn about it. Leaving Farmer Hills, and all of it behind to build a more exciting life. [color=Slateblue][b]PHILOSOPHY ⫻[/b][/color] Her outlook on life is basically to let people live. She's not a fan of forcing ideals on other people, and therefore hates the people that do. She believes that people should be free long as they aren't hurting people, or anything of the sort. [color=Slateblue][b]SECRETS ⫻[/b][/color] Kimberly has a deep-seated anger, and jealousy, for the people around her all for the fact that they seem to be in better places in life than her. She acknowledges how ridiculous this is, and keeps it as a secret. Instead, she acts chipper, and holds it in. [color=Slateblue][b]DESIRES ⫻[/b][/color] Kimberly desires to learn more about herself, and other people, by gaining other perspectives on life. So she can incorporate their philosophy into her own. In addition, she desires companionship, and friendship. People who think and sees things the way she does. She also wants to be self-sustaining as possible. [color=Slateblue][b]SEXUALITY ⫻[/b][/color] Kimberly is heterosexual to her core. [color=Slateblue][b]FEARS ⫻[/b][/color] Kimberly fears going nowhere in life, and becoming a parasite for her friends and family to leech off their success. Which fuels her obsession with being self-sustaining as possible. In addition, Kimberly fears spiders and all arachnids due to a hilarious prank played on her by her cousin. [color=Slateblue][b]REPUTATION ⫻[/b][/color] Kimberly is fairly unknown in Farmer Hill, and few people pay attention to her. She's just known as "the barista chick" and that's it. Which is something she takes advantage of whenever convenient. Though, there are some rumors of her sleeping around, something that Kimberly denies. [color=Slateblue][b]PET PEEVES ⫻[/b][/color] Kimberly is deeply annoyed to her core by hypocrisy, and worst of all, people calling her hypocritical. If you want to get on her bad side really fast, make sure to call her that. In addition, she's annoyed by people who think "it's just a joke" is an okay excuse, people who assume things about people, and close-mindedness. [color=Slateblue][b]QUIRKS ⫻[/b][/color] Kimberly has a habit of sticking her tongue out at random points in the middle of interaction. Especially in her more quirky moments. Kimberly also has the habit of holding up her camera to her chin at random points. [/indent][/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=Slateblue][b] BACKSTORY [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"There's nothing to it, other than me wanting to get the hell up out of Farmer Hill."[/i] [indent][indent]Kimberly was born a native of Farmer Hill, born the child of a banker, and a soldier in the army. Kimberly's father was away for most of her life, but her mother made sure to pick up the slack. And when it became hard, her mother would always seek out her extended family, who were also situated in Farmer Hill. Thus, Kimberly had all the love and affection she needed so she doesn't become a psychopath. There was one of her cousins that Kimberly was fairly close to as a child; Beth Walton. The child of her uncle. You see, Kimberly and Beth were the best of friends, and would spend literally hours together every day. It was like Kimberly had the sibling she always wanted! The two especially loved exploring, and traveling to different cities. But, as they grew older, they began to develop interests and whatnot in photography. It started with buying a cheap disposable camera from the supermarket, and then it sparked into buying them hundred dollar cameras. The two kids had developed an artistic eye from a young age, and loved taking pictures of everything they could. Once this became a bit more serious, Beth and Kimberly agreed that they would become the greatest two photographers in the world. That they would go to Grand Ridge Academy for Photography. The moment came where they both graduated from highschool, and college was coming around. Kimberly got accepted into Grand Ridge. As for Beth? She went to a college in upstate New York. Leaving behind Kimberly to pursue her own goals. Kimberly was hurt by the betrayal, and could never get a straight answer from Beth. It'd always be something about how she wanted to travel, or how her parents wanted to go, and how she wanted Kimberly to live her life. Only for Beth to send photos to Kimberly of her exploits. Never getting the answer she wanted, Kimberly became obsessed with her photography, since she was going to best her cousin anyway she can. Putting up a happy demeanor as she powered through classes with what little sanity she had left. She kept her group of friends fairly small, as she knew that she'd abandon them, and there was no point in forming attachments. Kimberly did befriend a fellow classmate named Jordan Nicoles to end the lonliness.[/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=Slateblue][b] SKILLS & TALENTS [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"I'm good at sending my friends memes, that's a start."[/i] [indent][indent][indent] [color=Slateblue][b]Photography ⫻[/b][/color] Kimberly was born to be a photographer. Even from a young age, she put any cheap camera she could find to good use. Now that her equipment and skills have advanced quite a bit, she has quite a photographic eye. With her camera never leaving her side, few things miss her. [color=Slateblue][b]Eagle-Eyed ⫻[/b][/color] Leading into the above skill, Kimberly has a very good eye for detail, and is perceptive. Not even the most subtle movement gets past her. [color=Slateblue][b]Climbing ⫻[/b][/color] Kimberly, to help her take better pictures, have undergone a training to learn to climb things better. So far, she is pretty good. Enough to climb fences at the pace of a slug. [/indent][/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=Slateblue][b] ABSTRACTION [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"Huh... I'm one step closer to living life like they do in the photos..."[/i] [indent][indent] [color=slateblue][b]SIGIL & LOCATION ⫻[/b][/color] [url=https://i.imgur.com/Ccw6UyU.jpg]Kimberly's sigil is placed directly on the center of her forcehead.[/url] [color=Slateblue][b]ABSTRACTION ⫻[/b][/color] Photographic-Teleportation, the ability to teleport to different locations using photos as a medium. [color=Slateblue][b]ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻[/b][/color] Kimberly's Abstraction manifested in her love of photography. If she has a photo of a location in her hands, she is engulfed in a white light, and is sent to that location. It'll take a few moments to "charge" but she'll appear there in a flash of light. It just takes a bit of focus, and envisioning. She has to focus on the picture, and picture herself being there, and then she'll begin "charging," as the aura of light surrounds her. This ability works with any place that Kimberly has taken a picture of, and regardless of if it's a physical picture, or a digital one. She could possibly teleport to pictures taken with her phone, or ancient ones, but it's a lot more time consuming. She can bring people with her, but they must be in close proximity, and must [i]also[/i] envision themselves appearing in that place. Kimberly can only teleport in places in Farmer Hill, and the further away it is, the longer it takes to charge. [color=Slateblue][b]IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOUNTAIN ⫻[/b][/color] When infused with the power of the mountain, Kimberly's ability takes less time to charge, and requires less focus. In theory, she could instantly teleport somewhere. This is only a passive buff, she has a few other abilities unlocked in the process. If she focuses on a place hard enough, she is able to scry on the location through the photo. She can see everything going on in the photo in real time as if she was there. A good ability for spying, albeit situational. The ultimate ability that the mountain grants her is the ability to possibly time-travel. It's not something she can do at will, and requires a ton of focus, but she may travel to the specific point where the photo was taken. [color=Slateblue][b]AURA SENSING ⫻[/b][/color] Kimberly's unlocked aura-reading potential manifests, again, in photography. She gains the aura to see the auras of people and objects that she has taken pictures long as it is within eighty meters of herself. Even if the object is moving from the point where she took the photo, she can still sense it. [color=Slateblue][b]LIMITS ⫻[/b][/color] Kimberly can travel anywhere in Farmer Hill (She cannot teleport further than that), but the further away from her current position, the longer it'll take. She may be able to instantly teleport to a spot a few feet away from her, or take ten seconds to teleport twenty feet, but it requires a few moments of constant mental focus to teleport further. In this time, she has to stay still, and focused. Or else she'll lose focus, and the charge will be "reset." This makes her vulnerable. In addition, if the photograph is damaged in any way, she'll only teleport part of the way there. There isn't a limit to how many people she can teleport, long as they envision themselves being in the location of the photo, too. [color=Slateblue][b]WEAKNESSES ⫻[/b][/color] Due to the nature of her ability, there isn't too many weaknesses to her ability due to the low-powered nature of the abilities, but she has plenty of limits. There's only one weakness, and it's a mental one. Usage of her ability increases her feelings of jealousy... to homicidal levels. It may cause her to act stupidly jealous of the people around her, and may cause aggression in all of her interactions.

To him, he'd rather experience the high of working out, then stuff his face with sweets. Though, he isn't a bodybuilder, he definitely has definition. He looks like a thug, the kind of person that'd kick your ass at the slightest provocation. And that's definitely true. That's the vibe he wants to give off, the aura of an ass kicker. The big man. He takes large steps, and walks with his hand in his pocket. And when he's not walking, he usually has his arms crossed. Hagan is from the big cities, and not that too used to small town life. You can tell by his city slicker accent, and habit of speaking quickly. He has a somewhat deep voice, but nothing overtly intimidating. It's more rough than anything. Hagan is an Irish-man that is part Scottish, and part Russian. He appears more Russian than anything due to taking after his father. It's to the point where his mother has trouble explaining to people that Hagan is her son. He is Caucasian, with his skin being somewhat fair. There's quite a few scars on his body due to all the roughhousing he does. From fighting, to childhood injuries, etc. His nose has always been a bit crooked from not healing correctly, either. His knuckles are also quite bruised. Hagan has a fairly well defined face. Starting with his strong jawline, and but his very large butt-chin is a source of jokes. His face is fairly heart-shaped in general. His other facial features are fairly subdued, and small. His nose is droopy with small nostrils, and a thin nose bridge. Which don't look disproportionate compared to his thin lips, and small mouth. His ears are diamond shaped, and pretty big, he has them studded with earrings and other jewelry. Hagan's style shifts from practical, to sharp. For example, casually he's never seen out of jeans, or boots, unless he's working out, or at home. Usually he'll wear a T-shirt of some kind over top of that. When he wants to make an impression, he'll wear a jacket of some kind, and he [i]always[/i] has a jacket for [i]every[/i] occassion.[/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=Darkorange][b] PSYCHOLOGY [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"Man, I don't know about this psychology shit. Everyone thinks everyone else is the crazy one. Can your psychology explain that?"[/i] [indent][indent][indent] [color=Darkorange][b]MAIN GOAL ⫻[/b][/color] Hagan doesn't really have a main goal in mind. All he wants to do is live life the meant it was; with him on top. [color=Darkorange][b]PHILOSOPHY ⫻[/b][/color] Hagan has a belief that it's every man for himself out here in this world. With all the killing and violence going on, and his father's abandonment, there won't be someone there to hold your hand. Therefore, he believes that you have to cut yourself a piece of the world, or fade into obscurity. He believes that personal strength is the greatest strength of them all, and thinks himself as the strongest. Which is why he's so aggressive, and willing to defend what is his. [color=Darkorange][b]SECRETS ⫻[/b][/color] Hagan's biggest secret is his questioning sexuality. He puts on the facade of being the ultimate lady's man, but when he's feeling a greater attraction towards men. Hagan is extremely defensive over this. He'll get incredibly violent at the mere prospect of his sexuality getting out. Which is what got him sent to Farmer Hill in the first place. [color=Darkorange][b]DESIRES ⫻[/b][/color] Hagan desires independence, and wants honesty in his life, and the people he hangs around. He also wants to find someone who understands him, and his problems. Whether it's a man, or a woman. [color=Darkorange][b]SEXUALITY ⫻[/b][/color] Hagan's sexuality is complicated. He used to think he loved girls, but he doesn't feel that kind of way about them. He's seemingly far more attracted to the male gender, but is aggressively in-denial about it. He'll tear someone a new one rather than admit he's a "fag." [color=Darkorange][b]FEARS ⫻[/b][/color] Hagan fears being a deadbeat, a failure, a loser in life. He fears having to rely on anyone else, and fears the growing though that he could be vulnerable. This fear is becoming closer and closer to becoming a reality. [color=Darkorange][b]REPUTATION ⫻[/b][/color] Hagan's reputation in Farmer Hill isn't the best; he's known across the township as a knucklehead, and a thug. All because he tends to resort to violence rather quickly. He's not a sight the students of Grand Ridge want to see, they see him as an asshole, a thug, a menace. [color=Darkorange][b]PET PEEVES ⫻[/b][/color] Hagan can't stand dishonesty, or fakeness in people. He has little tolerance for people who put on fronts to look cool, or to make friends. Do any of those things, and basically write Hagan off as an ally. [color=Darkorange][b]QUIRKS ⫻[/b][/color] No quirks in particular, other than his habit of holding his hand to his face when he's thinking. [/indent][/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=Darkorange][b] BACKSTORY [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"God I miss Connecticut."[/i] [indent][indent]Hagan isn't a native of Farmer Hill, his mother on the other hand, [i]was[/i]. She was the daughter of Douglas Rosefey, the hard farmer man that'd rather live in the fields, than die in the cities. She was the oldest of many children, but was also the only one to make the decision to leave Farmer Hill with her sweetheart Albert Earls. They got married, and moved to Manchester Connecticut, where they lived a relatively peaceful life. Hagan was the result of that marriage. Life was hard, but they made due the best they could. Eventually things improved for the family. Hagan was a relatively troubled kid growing up, and he didn't played well with others. All because of some behavioral problem the Earls couldn't sort out. Because of this isolation in school, he was singled out, and bullied by the other kids. First it started with teasing, then it didn't take long for it to become physical because they could get away with it. Albert wasn't having it, and thought Hagan the first thing about fighting in order to defend himself. He went back to school, and fought back. Making them back off. This is where Hagan learned that you need strength to get ahead in life Advancing through school from there was easy, he didn't make too many friends, but he eventually learned to let people in. Hagan was living life at his own pace. That changed when the family split up after the revelation that his father was cheating on his mother with another woman, and even got her pregnant. This came to Hagan so suddenly, and his father left them without a care in the world. Then it just became Hagan, and his mother against the world. Nobody spoke about the falling out, and they had to try extra hard to stay afloat, with their breadwinner gone. Going into highschool, he was desperate to learn independence from his parents, so when it's his time to out on his own, Hagan would be on his toes. Hagan did the best he could to get through classes, but they were not his speciality. Just for the passion of it, Hagan became a football player, and one of the star players. His name became known across school as the big, hard-hitting, quarterback that got all the girls and kicked ass. However, whenever he got with the girls, it felt hollow. There was something he didn't like. He had a rather close friend in the football team that he told everything with, and explained his lack of attraction to women. That friend explained that he may not even be into women, and Hagan denied that. Hagan and this friend started to hang out a lot more, and get far closer than ever. Hagan felt something between the two, and it didn't take him long to act on that growing affection. In the locker room, the two shared a kiss when they thought they were alone. They were going to go further, but someone came in, and they stopped. Hagan aggressively denied that ever happened, and kept away from the "friend." Bottling up his feelings, and throwing them away. Rumors came out that Hagan was "a faggot," and he started to get paranoid. Very defensive. But, it came to a head when a fellow team mate approached him, and said that he saw the whole scene take place. Threatening to tell everyone if Hagan didn't leave the football team. This made the already testy Hagan fly off into a blind rage and brutally beat the boy half to death, anything to ensure that he'd keep his mouth shut. Unfortunately, the police didn't share the same sentiments, and Hagan was arrested, and spent a few months in juvie. When he got out, his mother immediately sent him to Farmer Hill, a town he only heard about in off conversation. Because she thought that Hagan needed some time with her father to even him out. And evened out Hagan was. Douglas was the world's biggest hard ass, and he had Hagan working in the fields and farms. He hated it at first, being away from all he built up, but he realized they all saw him as a "a faggot." So, he begun anew in the schools in Farmer Hill, he graduated highschool, and then college came around, and his mother got him into Grand Ridge like she planned on for years. Hagan, still defensive over his sexuality, calmed down, but there are some outbursts.[/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=Darkorange][b] SKILLS & TALENTS [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"One thing I'm good for kickin' ass. You wanna know why God or whatever deity stays in heaven? Because he doesn't want his teeth knocked out."[/i] [indent][indent][indent] [color=Darkorange][b]Brawling ⫻[/b][/color] Hagan was, at first, taught by his dad how to fight to defend himself from bullies. Brawling on the streets, and other places, have taught him a lot. How to fight dirty. How to fight without mercy. Hagan is definitely one hell of a brawler, and knows how to use that size to his advantage. [color=Darkorange][b]Football ⫻[/b][/color] For a majority of his youth, Hagan played football for his local teams. He was one of the star players, and would have tried to go onto the NFL if he wasn't sent to Farmer Hill. He still plays, but he just isn't as good as he used to be. Not that he particularly cares about football anyway. [color=Darkorange][b]Farmhand ⫻[/b][/color] Hagan was forced to help on his grandfather's farm as punishment, and continues to do so he can have a house to live in so he can go to school. Hagan knows all sorts of information about animals, and can handle all equipment.

I wanted to shoot lasers, or something, God damn it."[/i] [indent][indent] [color=Darkorange][b]SIGIL & LOCATION ⫻[/b][/color] [url=https://i.pinimg.com/736x/a2/f9/6e/a2f96eb907c203d27811092f91cc0d66--shield-logo.jpg]On his chest, Hagan has the symbol of a shield.[/url] [color=Darkorange][b]ABSTRACTION ⫻[/b][/color] Barrier-Projection, Hagan has the ability to project a powerful barrier to protect himself and others. [color=Darkorange][b]ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻[/b][/color] Hagan's abstraction manifested in the ability to cast a shield as you could say, around himself, when threatened. This barrier is transparent, near-invisible, with a slight white tint to it. Most importantly, it acts as a solid that prevents anything from passing through it, and keeps the other side safe. When the barrier is touched, it turns opaque around the point of impact. The shape of the barrier depends on the threat presented. If someone is coming at him with a baseball bat, then it'll be relatively flat. If someone comes at him with a flamethrower, the barrier will take a rounder shape. At the moment, it's purely a subconscious ability. With the barriers manifesting to react to danger, rather than Haggar actively using it. Eventually, he'll learn how to create the barriers whenever. The barriers are fairly strong, capable of surviving a barrage of bullets, but will crumble eventually as it begins to weigh down on Hagan. [color=Darkorange][b]IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOUNTAIN ⫻[/b][/color] When Hagan is in the mountain, the shields become twice as durable. Able to take two times the punishment before showing signs of wearing down. His control over the shields are heightened immensely, and allows him to not only create the shields anywhere withintwenty five feet. It also allows him to manipulate the shape of the shield, along with moving it. So, in theory he could use the barriers as a weapon. [color=Darkorange][b]AURA SENSING ⫻[/b][/color] Hagan's aura sensing ability is connected to his Abstraction. It allows him to sense the auras of people who have attempted to attack him or anyone he cares about (otherwise triggering the shield), for thirty minutes, over a thirty-five meter radius. As time goes on, the radius will lower until the aura fades from his eyes. [color=Darkorange][b]LIMITS ⫻[/b][/color] Hagan can only create barriers in a twenty foot radius to protect himself, and other people he cares about. Beyond that limited radius, he's useless. The barriers are so durable that most attacks would bounce off it, but it's connected to his mental and physical state. If he's feeling particularly defeated, the barriers will lose quite a bit of their strength, and will shred like paper. Passion and courage makes the shields their strongest. He can only create one shield at a time, and the shield can persist as long as Hagan perceives danger, or it is destroyed. [color=Darkorange][b]WEAKNESSES ⫻[/b][/color] Hagan's barriers are a bit weaker against extra-normal beings (the Awakened and beyond). The abilities of an Awakened have an easier time breaking down his barriers, and can even pass through them with focus. The shields getting damaged sends a mental backlash to Hagan. It starts as a basic headache, but if the shield gets destroyed, it'll be so bad that he'll be screaming in pain.

Probably due to that scowl on her face, or that look of general irritation. Her voice is a bit gruff (due to all the smoking she does, but that is neither here nor there) and definitely doesn't help. Usually, she has a demeanor of someone that keeps to themselves, and that shows in how quiet she is. But, when she speaks, no one has a louder voice or presence than Jordan. Though, Jordan cannot walk with confidence, or even straight like other people her age do. Jordan walks with a heavy limp, as if she received a horrible injury when she was younger. She can still walk at the same pace as everyone else, but they can tell she has a problem. Closer examination tells that Jordan makes careful, and deliberate movements. Nothing sudden, or sloppy. Even as she runs, it looks like she's carefully making every single step to avoid tripping. But, the one thing that makes her stand out in Farmer Hill so much is heritage. Jordan is African-American in a town that is primarily white. Not a native of the township, however, her "city" (Philadelphian) accent. Jordan's skin is a much lighter shade of brown, almost tan. She's what's called "light-skinned." Jordan's skin is fairly good due to all the maintenence done to it, with only a few blemishes around her body. Jordan's hair is a black color with an afro-texture, and her lips are very large, and thick. Hardly disproportionate to her relatively same sized nose, with a thick nose-bridge, and nostrils. Her eyes are small, unturned, and her irises are a dark-brown color. Jordan's ears are a crescent-shape, and medium-sized. Jordan has plenty of tattoos all over her body. The most notable one is the weave of roses on the left side of her chest, above her breast. Going down her left thigh is three roses with abnormally long stems. On her right arm, she has a large tattoo that says "In Loving Memory of Madison Brown." But, on her right leg, there is a disgusting scar. It appears to be from surgery, but it also looks like her leg has been mangled to the point of no return. It's amazing that she can still stand up on her - but Jordan is more than willing to take barely standing than no standing. She also has a few piercings. On her ears, nose, belly-button, and nipples. Jordan's build is fairly thin, and well-toned. She's in no means muscular, but she has some definition to her body. Of course, this tone appears to be fading, but Jordan still retains some body definition from before the accident. Her active metabolism, good eating habits, and exercise help her stay in shape. Because the last thing that Jordan wants is to become a land whale. Accident or no.[/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=Lightcoral][b] PSYCHOLOGY [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"Look, all you need to know about me is that confident, and proud of myself. Don't ever forget that or I'll remind ya', sweetie."[/i] [indent][indent][indent] [color=Lightcoral][b]MAIN GOAL ⫻[/b][/color] Jordan had one goal in life: becoming the world's best musician, and putting her passion into music. Spreading it all across the world, and letting the world enjoy her art. Nowadays, she still wants to be a musician, but she also wants to get over this deep-seated guilt, and find happiness in anyway possible. [color=Lightcoral][b]PHILOSOPHY ⫻[/b][/color] Jordan's philosophy is a simple one; people have one life, and one life only. That life is too short to hold onto grudges, but too long to go into it without planning. She thinks that too many people find reasons to be unhappy, rather than just making the most out of life. She believes that everyone is worthy of respect, even if they don't deserve it, and that other people should do the same. Jordan believes her character is strong because she isn't afraid to admit where she's wrong, and is honest with her emotions, and passions, above all else. [color=Lightcoral][b]SECRETS ⫻[/b][/color] Jordan doesn't have any notable secrets (other than that time she ate her roomie's cake (that shit was good, though)). [color=Lightcoral][b]DESIRES ⫻[/b][/color] Jordan wants to be remembered (and remembered fondly) above all else. She doesn't go out of her way to put people down, and tries to support people the best she can. So, she'll be remembered for everything she does. [color=Lightcoral][b]SEXUALITY ⫻[/b][/color] Jordan is heterosexual, but she feels her sexuality is fluid. Anyone that'd comfort her. There were times she kissed a girl. But, maintains that she is attracted to boys above all else. [color=Lightcoral][b]FEARS ⫻[/b][/color] Jordan, as you may have expected, fears being forgotten. She looked to many people in her family's past, and realized how little people knew them, and how little they accomplished. How little they were remembered. Which is why she wants to be the one person to stand out. Jordan also has a slight phobia of alcohol, after the accident that destroyed her leg. She's mostly afraid of what she'll do under the influence. Not anything that causes her to freeze in fear, but she avoids it. [color=Lightcoral][b]REPUTATION ⫻[/b][/color] Jordan's reputation in Farmer Hill is relatively poor due to her skin color. Few people know her other than being "the black city girl." In Grand Ridge Academy, however, her reputation is a lot better, due to her kind attitude. [color=Lightcoral][b]PET PEEVES ⫻[/b][/color] Jordan hates excessive drinking, and people who brag about drinking. She avoids those kinds of people like the plague. [color=Lightcoral][b]QUIRKS ⫻[/b][/color] Jordan has a habit of constantly adjusting her appearance. Fixing her hair, adjusting her clothes, etc. Almost as if it's imperfect, and needs constant correction. [/indent][/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=Lightcoral][b] BACKSTORY [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"Don't worry about my past, worry about my future."[/i] [indent][indent]Jordan was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in a relatively lower-class family. She didn't have the best upbringing, but definitely made the best of it. Most importantly, she was never alone. She, not only had a big family, but a knack for befriending people. She seemed to be borned with a special kind of charisma. These people taught Jordan morality, and the importance of basic human decency... to a point. She definitely wasn't one to take bullying, and lashed back as hard as they did. She did the best she could to befriend as many people as possible. It wasn't long before Jordan's interest in music developed into something more. It became a passion. It started with music class at school, and then it evolved into wanting a guitar. Her parents could barely afford it, but they got it for her for her birthday. It was difficult for her to learn with no teacher, but she found every way she could. Until she knew the guitar like the back of her hand. A friend teaching her helped. As the years went by, Jordan's passion for the guitar remained. Regardless of what mood she was feeling. Eventually, she tried singing... with mixed results. Either way, Jordan wanted to do it for a living, even though everyone told her that it was a terrible idea, but she didn't listen. She was happy, and that was the way she was going to live. One of the people to encourage her was Madison Brown, one of the cousins she knew as long as she could remember. Madison encouraged Jordan to do whatever made her happy, and was the closest link in her extended family. If there was someone Jordan would tell someone, it would be Madison. Hitting highschool, Jordan hit it off with the "popular crowd." The kind of kids with no sense, that everyone wanted to be. All because of her personality, and attitude. She was the person who kept them in line, in a sense, while also enjoying the benefits they had to offer. Such as status, and a good time. She helped her cousin Madison get into this crowd, and that enriched the experience for Jordan. This experience went on, Jordan felt like she was on top of the world. Until she hit graduation... and the worst day of her life took place. She and her friends went on a hardcore night of debauchery. Full of drinking, sex, and partying like it was the last day of their young lives. Jordan was driving them around, drinking like a fool. On a dare, Jordan ran a light, and was hit by another car. The car was sent flying, and Jordan hit another car. The car was horribly mangled, and Jordan was impaled through the leg with a steel beam. The rest of her occupants weren't doing any better, were either badly wounded or... in the case of Madison Brown, dead. Bust her head open when the second car hit her. Jordan didn't even get to see it, as she had passed out due to traumatic shock. She woke up in a hospital, and was told what happened. What happened to Madison... and was sent into a deep descent. Jordan was catatonic for a day straight as she processed what happened. She was consumed by guilt, she felt responsible for what happened to her cousin. She took some time off from her passion to come to term with what happened. Though, her leg was badly injured, and she would never walk the same again. Hell, it took [i]months[/i] of physical therapy to learn how to walk again. Then it tooks even more months of psychological therapy to come to terms with how reckless and stupid she was back then, and how it cost someone their life. She promised that she would never do something like that again. Then she turned to the guitar to alleviate stress, and remembered her goal in life. Becoming one of the best guitarists the world has to offer, and hell if she was going to let a bad leg stop her. Her parents surprised her with an acceptance letter to Grand Ridge Academy. Before shipping her off to Montana... and one of the biggest changes of pace of her life.[/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=Lightcoral][b] SKILLS & TALENTS [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"I'm a musician sweetheart, you're gonna hear me on the radios, soon."[/i] [indent][indent][indent] [color=Lightcoral][b]Guitar ⫻[/b][/color] Jordan had that musical touch from a young age. Almost literally, as she can play a guitar like a madman. It doesn't matter what kind, but Jordan prefers the acoustic guitar. [color=Lightcoral][b]Singing ⫻[/b][/color] While her singing voice isn't the best out there, she knows how to work with it. Years upon years of singing classes, and talent shows, have made Jordan into a great singer. Her tone changes are great, and she never sings off key.

[color=Lightcoral][b]ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻[/b][/color] Jordan ironically gets the one Abstraction that could have saved her cousin. The ability manifests in creating a temporal field around herself in a six meter dome. Inside this dome, everything else is frozen in place, but Jordan (and by that extent, other Awakened, as their resistance to each other's powers render them immune to Temporal pausing) are able to move freely. While everything is static, Jordan is able to manipulate the environment by touching it. However, she is unable to manipulate people, who are entirely immutable during Temporal-Pausing. Which means she cannot injure anyone inside the field. Outside the field, paused time is entirely imperceptible to normal people, they just won't notice it - but can be frozen if they enter it. Awakened can see the field, and stopped time. The duration of temporal pausing is somewhat short, around one minute give or take, before time resumes. Once time resumes, any changes that Jordan make will instantly happen. Almost as if she had teleported. However, this isn't a voluntary ability, she has to be in a state of intense stress (I.E be threatened) for it to activate - along with having to perceive the danger. It's almost like a fight or flight reaction. It has a couple minute cooldown before she can do it again. [color=Lightcoral][b]IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOUNTAIN ⫻[/b][/color] The mountain extends the range of the temporal field to eighteen meters, which is fairly distant. In addition, the extension of the temporal field is greatly increased to five minutes. Which makes her Abstraction much more powerful. The mountain also grants the ability to voluntarily stop time... but only at a short range, and for around twenty seconds. She requires thirty seconds before she can voluntarily stop time again. [color=Lightcoral][b]AURA SENSING ⫻[/b][/color] Jordan's aura reading is connected to people who are in danger. If someone is presently in danger (or heavily feels they are), Jordan can read their auras from around thirty-two meters. [color=Lightcoral][b]LIMITS ⫻[/b][/color] When she's away from the mountain; the temporal field lasts for only one minute at a time at most, and afterwards it takes around five minutes before she can stop time again. Which means that there will be a gap in time before she can save herself, or someone else. Awakened are immune to it's effects, and some Extra-normal beings are also resistant to her time changes. She cannot manifest the field at will, she can manifest a weaker field in the presence of the mountain. [color=Lightcoral][b]WEAKNESSES ⫻[/b][/color] There aren't too many weaknesses to Jordan's ability, other than the fact that some things are outright immune to the time pausing. Which means that there's some instances where her power is completely useless. In addition, she's not the most agile, because she has a bad leg, and her time stopping is sometimes the only thing that can save her.

His facial features are fairly bulky, and squared. Starting with his diamond-shaped face, he has a very squared jaw, with thin cheeks. Cheeks that are bushy with a light, well-cut, beard. He has thick, large, lips, with a medium sized and unpronounced nose. Samson's ears are medium-sized, and diamond shaped, studded with ear piercings. His eyes are medium-sized, and have a sharp look about them. The one thing that makes Samson stand out in Farmer Hill is, you guessed it, his heritage. He's an African-American man, one with very dark skin, and an African-skullshape. His skin is fairly free from blemishes, but definitely not scar free. He has plenty of scars from injuries he received as a child, and many more from the fights he got into. He has a fleshy cutting scar right underneath his eye. That out of the way, he has an intricate pattern of tattoos. The first tattoo that he has is on his right cheek. It appears to be an eagle with it's wings spread, covered in flames that are angled downwards. Like the phoenix is taking flight. The other tattoo he has is on the left side of his chest. This tattoo is of the sun and is very tribal-like. The "flames" of the sun extends far enough to reach his shoulder, belly and the top of his neck. His arms are covered in a tribal-style wreath of flames, starting below his shoulder, going up to his hands. As for style, Samson goes for sharp. He always has on a jacket of some kind, and jeans, that are always very well covering. Since Farmer Hill is very cold, he's always prepared for it. He always like to keep his tattoos covered as much as possible.[/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=firebrick][b] PSYCHOLOGY [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"I... sometimes wish I couldn't feel."[/i] [indent][indent][indent] [color=firebrick][b]MAIN GOAL ⫻[/b][/color] Samson's main goal is to live his life. He doesn't have a goal in mind, other than keeping to himself, and getting enough money to earn his place. A lot of thought goes in his head about figuring out how to deal with the emotions in his head, and letting go. But, he has yet to figure out a way to do it. Only pretend. He's given the idea of leaving behind Farmer Hill, and the bastards in it, forever. [color=firebrick][b]PHILOSOPHY ⫻[/b][/color] To Samson everything in life is about putting in work. He believes in hard work, and reward. It doesn't matter what you're doing, long as you're passionate about it, you'll see it through to the end. [color=firebrick][b]SECRETS ⫻[/b][/color] Samson wants to keep the fact that he's vulnerable, and bitter, to himself, as much as possible. He wants everyone to think he's a strong man, not one wracked with sadness, a man that has a future. [color=firebrick][b]DESIRES ⫻[/b][/color] Samson wants someone to help him, someone who can understand what he feels. Because he desperately wants to get over what happened all those years ago, and is willing to do anything possible to achieve it. [color=firebrick][b]SEXUALITY ⫻[/b][/color] Samson is straight, but is currently uninterested in romance. [color=firebrick][b]FEARS ⫻[/b][/color] Samson somewhat fears himself. He fears what will happen to him if he doesn't resolve these emotions of his, will he finally go insane? Or will it inhibit his ability to form meaningful relationships with people. That his obsession will consume him. [color=firebrick][b]REPUTATION ⫻[/b][/color] Samson's reputation is relatively poor in his community of Farmer Hill. Sins of the father is in full effect as an age long feud between his family, and another, reigns, and makes it difficult for him to move. In addition, people don't really think too highly of Samson because he is African-American. Samson's reputation in Grand Ridge is much better due to his cool-guy attitude, and other qualities. [color=firebrick][b]PET PEEVES ⫻[/b][/color] This is a small one... but Samson absolutely hates it whenever someone gets something wrong about martial arts. Whether it's a person, or a movie, he'll cringe, and have to withstand it with a smile. [color=firebrick][b]QUIRKS ⫻[/b][/color] Samson has a habit of leaning on things, and sometimes putting his leg up against objects in weird ways. [/indent][/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=firebrick][b] BACKSTORY [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"..."[/i] [indent][indent]Samson was born a native of Farmer Hill, and one of the few black families. Which was difficult due to the racism that runs amok in the township. Samson was born to a pair of farmers in Mason Square, apart of a long line of farmers. They wanted to give Samson the best life, but they also wanted to raise him strong. Long as he could walk, he was out there in the fields helping with the animals. This built Samson into a strong child, but the problem came when school started, and the other children relentlessly bullied him because he was black. They got physical very quick, and Samson didn't know how to fight back. But, his father did. An old friend in town, a martial arts instructor named Shane Wyatt. The only one in Farmer Hill, the one that was training kids to fight for generations. Samson was sent there, and taught karate, and while it was tough (actually embarrassing) at first, he picked up the basics, and moved onto the advanced stuff. Going from rank to rank, spar to spar, he gained discipline like no other, and humility from Mr. Wyatt. It came to the point where he was no longer motivated by revenge against his bullies, but now, self defense. When he confronted them, he only gave one stern warning, before defending himself. The ensuing fight was brutal, but with Samson's discipline, he beat the whole lot of them. He was punished at school, but finally fighting back against those animals was worth it. However, this wasn't the end of it, as the families of the other kids wanted justice against Samson. A few days later, one of the bullies families came to the Jeross family household, screaming and shouting obscenities for what Samson did. The parents of Samson tried to talk them down, but it escalated to violence very quickly. A huge brawl took place on the Jeross family's doorstep that got bloody fast when the other family pulled out a gun. It ended when more people came to the Jeross household, and overwhelmed them. They were brutally beaten, especially Samson's father. When the police came, they broke it up, but not one arrest was made. Future complaints were ignored. Samson was outraged, but his father calmed him down, explaining to him that some things they'll just have to let go. From then on, Samson was targeted because of his race by his similarly aged peers. He was ostracized by the people of Farmer Hill, but he managed to find people with different views than the majority. Those people became some of Samson's closest friends. In addition, he stuck with his karate training until he became a black belt, and one of Farmer Hill's most passionate people. Once Samson passed hurdle after hurdle, and graduated highschool, and his parents revealed they were saving for him to go to Grand Ridge Academy. He was honored, but he still had a bit of anger to deal with. He went into college for Criminal Justice, and was struggling as of late.[/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=firebrick][b] SKILLS & TALENTS [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"Wanna know how many people are proud to call themselves the world greatest farm hands?"[/i] [indent][indent][indent] [color=firebrick][b]Karate ⫻[/b][/color] Samson's the karate kid! Due to the need to defend himself becoming increasingly apparent, Samson took up karate at the only practitioners in Farmer Hill. He has been taking it for almost a decade now, and has long earned his black belt. Most importantly he knows how to put that karate to good use, and has been in quite a few brawls. That experience hardened him, and taught him a lot of things. His body is very fast, and so are his reflexes.

[color=firebrick][b]ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻[/b][/color] Samson's Awakening allows him to generate and manipulate flame, but this is no regular flame, this flame is born by Samson's emotions themselves. His rage, his passion, his hope... the flames have two main attributes that depend on Samson's mood. Normally, Samson's flames are a white color, and appear and flow like any other flame, but it burns nothing. It generates no heat, burns no oxygen, and otherwise functions nothing like fire. However, the flames operate on a psychic level, instead of burning objects, they burn the [i]mind[/i]. The fire, simply put, eats away the emotions, memories, and thoughts of people around him on contact. Upon being hit with the flames, emotions will be numbed, it'll be harder to think straight (almost like someone is being overwhelmed), and they'll experience short term memory-loss (they'll maybe forget where they are, and what they're doing if they're exposed to enough of the flame). The Awakened are much more resistant to the effects, but regular people will get no such luxury. After contact with people, the fire will dissipate after a few moments, as it couldn't burn up enough resources to exist. Enough of the fire will leave people emotionless, but it isn't powerful enough to eliminate all thoughts and memories. The flames generate a white light, but normal people are unable to see the flames in this state, or the light it gives off. It'll be completely invisible. In a state of heightened emotion, the flames begin to take on a more pure appearance. Less like fire, and more like plasma (or an energy of the sort). Depending on the emotion that Samson is feeling, will affect the color (fear turns it yellow, happiness; green, etc). The flames will lose their ability to burn minds, and will be able to burn people like traditional fire, and will generate heat. Depending on how emotional Samson is, will change how hot the flames burn people. Samson is also able to draw upon the emotions of other people, which can strengthen the flames. The flames burn whatever they touch, but Samson can choose what they can and cannot burn. So if he wants to engulf two people in flames, but keep one people safe, he can do it. However, feeling rage makes the flames the hottest they can be, and burn everything in sight. Even materials seemingly fireproof burn away in the end. The flames seem to attain a slight level of sentience, and will actively burn whatever it can. When in this state, the flames can be seen by all. Upon calming down, the flames will return to their normal state, and all the flames he created while emotional will disappear. [color=firebrick][b]IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOUNTAIN ⫻[/b][/color] While in the embrace of the mountain, Samson gains the ability to choose what flame he wants to use, can create far more fire, and make it far more potent. However, the flames in their normal state gain the ability to alter emotions of whatever gets hit by the flames. They will change people to feel the same emotion as Samson, rather than burning them away. In addition, he can choose if he wants to specifically burn emotions, memories, or thoughts (or none at all). While emotional, Samson's flames induce a state of fear, as they become so powerful that people can't help but be intimidated by it. It causes a state of flight-or-fight just by being near them. [color=firebrick][b]AURA SENSING ⫻[/b][/color] Samson's aura reading ability is quite different from the others. For starters, he gains the ability to read auras of [i]everything[/i] long as they are within four meters of himself. He can sense the rage that is within all creatures, and greater the rage, the brighter their aura glows. To the point where Samson can sense them further than four meters (up to forty-two meters). [color=firebrick][b]LIMITS ⫻[/b][/color] Samson can only project the flames within ten feet of himself - outside that range, the flames dissipate. He can only create the flames for a solid minute, before the stream of flames stop. This is connected to an inner flame of his, and it is the source of his power. He'll need to give his flames time before he can use them again, but if he's angry, the flame will rejuvenate itself. Other Awakened are not easily burned by his flames, nor are their emotions easily burned. [color=firebrick][b]WEAKNESSES ⫻[/b][/color] First and foremost, the usage of any flames burns up Samson's emotions. The more he uses his Abstraction, the less he'll feel, until Samson becomes an emotionless husk of a person. Which is something he doesn't want to do. Samson's also not completely immune to heat. While he's resistant to a point, if he passes that point, it's gonna burn him, too. His body temperature may get so high, he may burn himself from the inside out, and kill himself with fire. [/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=firebrick][b] OTHER [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"Peace."[/i] [indent][indent]Samson is basically the remaking of one of the first characters I've made when I started RPing.... with some updates of course.

Enough about my height."[/i] [indent][indent]Britney definitely has a bit of size to her body. From the fact that she's abnormally tall - both her mom and dad were [i]huge[/i] in terms of height - to to her sheer body mass. In fact, her sheer height is the first thing that people notice about her. Something that she's insecure about, [i]very[/i] insecure about. Since not too many boys appreciate that she's far taller than them. That's just something that she lives with. The other aspect that makes her look big is her body shape. She has a bit of a oval body-shape that is mostly shaped by extra body fat that she just can't seem to shake off. Though, that body fat compliments her. It makes her very curvy. That was the result of puberty being very kind to Britney. Her behind's size has always been the butt of jokes among friends, and she's definitely chesty (at 44F). She is definitely a woman. Though, because of her body-shape, people also get the impression that she is fat. While she is a bit heavier than other girls, she is definitely not obese. She has an air of confidence around her, the kind of confidence that she owns the world, and that nothing can touch her. Almost like she is noble. She takes large steps, and has a big smile on her face at all times. That nobility vibe comes in the way she dresses - she wears quite expensive and fancy looking clothing. The kind of attire that gives away that she comes from Farmer Hill's upper class. If that confidence fades for whatever reason, something is [i]very[/i] wrong. Though, her tone of voice is quite pleasant (albeit condescending at times), she seems to circumvent that aura by being quite kind and passionate, and happy. Another thing that makes Britney stick out in a crowd (at least in Farmer Hill) is her skin color. She's African-American, and has a [i]bunch[/i] of different African nations flowing through her blood. She's primarily Sierra-Leonean, and Nigerian, but she is distantly Ethiopian, Sudanese, and she even has a bit of Egypt in her. Which gave her her curly brown hair that's well maintained, her facial features, and skull-shape. Her face is pretty round, mostly because of her big rosey cheeks, and her dull jawline. Which gives her a bit of a baby-face. She has a large nose with a wide bridge, and fairly large nostrils. Crescent shaped ears that are pierced, usually with large ear-rings or jewelry. She has thick lips, and a slightly wide mouth that, when she smiles, exposes her very shiny teeth. Her eyes are almond shaped, and a light-brown color.[/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=wheat][b] PSYCHOLOGY [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"My future's bright, and I know it."[/i] [indent][indent][indent] [color=wheat][b]MAIN GOAL ⫻[/b][/color] Britney's primary goal in life is to find excitement in it. To find new ways to freshen up a tired formula. Which is why she's often found in parties, and whatnot by people who are seen as "beneath" her. All because she wants to have a bit of fun. Also to forge an identity for herself. In the end... happiness. [color=wheat][b]PHILOSOPHY ⫻[/b][/color] Britney believes the only way to get what you want in life is through hard work and dedication. Basically to succeed at life, all you need is a clear vision, and a little bit of dedication. She believes that the people that "failed" at life just weren't passionate enough, and are hardly worthy of her time. In addition, she believes that money doesn't necessarily equate status. To her, it's a tool, a means to an end. Just because she's wealthy, doesn't mean she's any more or less special than anyone else. [color=wheat][b]SECRETS ⫻[/b][/color] Britney witnessed something a very long time ago, and was cued into a few secrets from Farmer Hill's elite... even if they don't think too much of the Williams family. Other than that, she keeps her nude habits a strict secret. [color=wheat][b]DESIRES ⫻[/b][/color] Britney desires independence more than anything else. To be seen as her own person. She hates the fact that she's only known as a wealthy man's daughter, and wishes to step out of that shadow the best she can. She wants to forge her own identity for herself. She also desires companionship in the people around her, and find people who think like her. No matter of their wealth. Also to grow her garden to be the largest and most luxurious in all Farmer Hill. [color=wheat][b]SEXUALITY ⫻[/b][/color] Britney is bisexual, leaning heavily on girls. She discovered this trait during a close encounter with a friend. She knew that people wouldn't reflect too kindly upon the revelation. So to keep it a secret, she's willing to date a boy or two as a cover to keep people off her while she dates her real sweetheart. [color=wheat][b]FEARS ⫻[/b][/color] Britney fears dependance more than anything. She has a deep-seated fear of having to rely on anyone in life, all because she truly wishes to step out of her father's shadow so much. [color=wheat][b]REPUTATION ⫻[/b][/color] Britney's reputation is a mixed bag. There's not too many people who [i]don't[/i] know who Britney Williams is. All because her family has a heavy hand in the politics of Farmer Hill.. and also have screwed over more than a few families, and left them homeless. That already gave her a bad start reputation-wise. On a more personal level, Britney's reputation is poor a lot of people due to her attitudes, and whatnot. She is known for being a rich bitch, and quite snooty at times. Very standoffish. [color=wheat][b]PET PEEVES ⫻[/b][/color] Britney has a bit of respect for rules, and order. She can't stand people who can't take things seriously, or just have to buck the system for no reason. She also hates people who are unable to take responsibility for their actions, and would turn her nose up at those people at the drop of a hat. [color=wheat][b]QUIRKS ⫻[/b][/color] Britney has a habit of singing to herself when bored, or busy with work. Expect to hear her sing a song or two during times of silence. Another weird thing she does is her little love of nudity. When no one is around, she likes to strip herself of clothing and simply walk around. Usually done in private, but sometimes she is a bit more adventurous with skinny dipping, and nude morning walks. [/indent][/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=wheat][b] BACKSTORY [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"It's nothing you need to know, sweetheart."[/i] [indent][indent]While Britney herself is a native of Farmer Hill, her ancestors were not. It started all the way back before Britney's father was even born. Her grandfather was a very wealthy man that seemingly appeared out of the blue (Actually from Philadelphia), and landed in Farmer Hill. Starting a series of successful businesses in Farmer Hill, and quickly and aggressively snatching power and businesses from the natives of Farmer Hill - forcing some out of jobs. It was a sight to see one man gain so much power in a short amount of time, and it was even more pride hurting for the racist members of the community that a lot of the businesses are owned by a black man. Which escalated the Williams family to a higher status within the small town. This legacy/empire continues to modern day, when the Williams family still have a strong foothold in Farmer Hill's community. Britney was born as the first daughter of her father's new generation, and three siblings followed. While daddy worked hard in the offices keeping the businesses afloat, Britney lived the highlife. She had everything that the city had to offer at her disposal, and she used it. From going to expensive schools out of town, to buying expensive clothes, to going on luxurious vacations abroad! She was living the life that people could only dream of. Though, Britney's life was a truly lonely one. She really didn't have anyone other than herself, and her extended family. No real friendship. Exploring the US and the luxurious vacations didn't seem all that great when she went home to nobody. She felt that nobody cared. To help her end her loneliness (or at least distract herself from it) she picked up hobbies. The one that she grew to love the most is gardening. She didn't know what drew her to the hobby, but she loves doing it more than anything else. Nothing excites her more than going out and forging her garden into something special. The garden in the back of the William estate was created by her. Britney's philosophy was heavily shaped by her mother. She did her best to keep Britney realistic, and remind her that she is one piece of a greater world. One beyond Farmer Hill. As she grew up, she tried to carefully examine her mother's words, as she began to self-examine. She went out to Farmer Hill, and tried to make friends with the other people her age. Some rejected her, in time, she began to make friends with the other girls her age. That put the idea in her head that she could do anything if she put her mind to it. She brought loneliness to an end, so she could bring anything to an end. Her father learned of her activities, and brought an end to it. That did nothing to prevent Britney from going out, and having fun with her friends. The last thing she wanted to be was cooped up inside some shitty mansion all day, so she went out and had fun. She met a variety of people she is friends with to this very day. One of her closest friends was one of the town trouble makers, and they were practically inseparable. Though, they both discovered something about themselves skinny dipping one night that got rather heated. Sharing a kiss, the two realized their affections for each other. Britney didn't know how to come to terms with it, but kept it a secret. This lead to her relationship with her friend becoming a bit awkward, and eventually they drifted apart. Once Britney came of age, and graduated high-school, she chose to attend Grand Ridge Academy to master in Business, and Administration. Because she realized that the hatred of her, and her self-loathing, will never end unless she becomes her own person, that stands on her own two feet. Though, she's starting to realize there's something about the town most people don't know....[/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=wheat][b] SKILLS & TALENTS [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"World class gardener right here."[/i] [indent][indent][indent] [color=wheat][b]Gardening ⫻[/b][/color] Britney is an expert gardener. From when she was young, she learned how to garden, and the ins and outs of all plant life. This botany knowledge allows her to identify plants, and knows different ways to apply those plants. [color=wheat][b]Ballet ⫻[/b][/color] Britney was a ballet dancer for as long as she remembers. This lead to Britney being very flexible, and having tons of balance. [/indent][/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=wheat][b] ABSTRACTION [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"I can give you life..."[/i] [indent][indent] [color=wheat][b]SIGIL & LOCATION ⫻[/b][/color] [url=http://images.all-free-download.com/images/graphiclarge/green_symbol_311278.jpg]On the palms of her hands, the symbols of an orb, surrounded by vines. Completely black.[/url] [color=wheat][b]ABSTRACTION ⫻[/b][/color] Chloromancy, the ability to channel the force inherent to all Awaken to manipulate plants, and communicate with them. [color=wheat][b]ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻[/b][/color] Spawning from her inherent joy, and love of gardening, Britney gained a connection with plants unlike no other. She has to ability to channel the force shared between all Awakened into the areas around her to create and manipulate plant life. In it's rawest form, she can spawn a wheat colored energy that appears like a floating light anywhere around her with a mere thought, and move this energy around. This energy appears like a spectral force, and from this force, Britney can create any kind of plant life. Seemingly growing it from the light like a source. From this ability, she can create vines, to trees, to bushes, practically anything plant based that is limited by her knowledge of the plant. The only issue is that it takes time for Britney to grow the plant. She can't instantly make a tree appear, of course, but she can quickly make vines appear to attack people with. Now let me note, she doesn't need soil or the sort, she can create it [i]anywhere[/i] in a three meter radius (doesn't mean they'll survive long, but yeah). Oh, I should mention that the Blind cannot see this energy, but they can see it's effects. This energy she can manipulate can also infuse plant life. For starters, it can cause them to grow even more (much faster and more efficiently than creating it from nothing), she can manipulate existing plants, and repair damage plants (possibly reviving plants, removing toxins and diseases, and more). As a side ability, this energy allows Britney to telekinetically manipulate certain plants on a much wider radius. From up to ten meters away, she can telekinetically move things like leaves, fruit, pieces of plant matter, etc. Long as it's less than two pounds, she can lift it - but she is capable of living several things at a time, long as she doesn't lift more than thirty pounds. When she uses her ability, it's accompanied by a wind, nothing drastic. Giving the idea that the wind is doing all the work. Britney is psychically/mentally connected to all plant life around her in a forty meter radius. She mentally knows where plants are in the area, which part of their life cycle they're in, what kind of plant they are, and what they sense. You see, to an extent, plants can feel, see, smell, and taste (There's also a theory that they can hear, but eh). Well, it's mostly limited to other plants, or certain parts of nature. Sometimes Britney wonders if she can [i]communicate[/i]. With plants. Part of her wonders if she's crazy. [color=wheat][b]IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOUNTAIN ⫻[/b][/color] Britney's abstraction grows a bit in power, and allows her to create plantlife in a ten meter radius, and create it much faster. She can potentially cause a tree to sprout near instantly if she wills it hard enough, and can create a wreath of vines near instantly. In addition, her plant empathy will expand to [i]all[/i] plant life within Farmer Hill. Basically giving her unlimited sight. Her ability to telekinetically manipulate plants expands to twenty meters, and she can lift a hundred pounds. [color=wheat][b]AURA SENSING ⫻[/b][/color] Her aura-sensing is connected to her mental connection to plant-life. By kneeling down, placing her hand down, and concentrating, she can scry through plants in a way. She can sense the auras of those standing in/touching plant life anywhere within her forty meter range. However, it depends on how dense the plant life in the area is. If the person is only touching a plant, she can vaguely sense them, but if they're standing in the middle of a forest, she'll be able to see them clearly. She can only focus on one location at a time, and a very small radius. The moment she stops focusing, however, she'll lose the ability to see their auras. [color=wheat][b]LIMITS ⫻[/b][/color] Britney can only create plantlife in a very limited range, and even in the presence of the mountain, it isn't exactly far. Britney's plant manipulation, whilst it doesn't need soil to enhance or grow plant life, she has a far easier time if it's there. It takes far more time and energy to create plant life on non-soils, and the plant life will die [i]very[/i] quickly. In order to control plants, Britney needs to be connected to the earth in a way. The closer she is to soil, the stronger her ability to control plants gets. So, if she's on the second floor of a building, it'd be harder to use her power than if she was on the ground-level. [color=wheat][b]WEAKNESSES ⫻[/b][/color] Britney's plants are as vulnerable as any other plants. They can easily be killed by fire/heat, ice/cold, poison, and they also still require water and other means to stay alive. Britney cannot create plant life from nothing - even if it seems like she does. She donates a bit of her lifeforce in order to create her plants. As she uses her power, she runs a little low on lifeforce and becomes physically weaker as she uses her abstraction. She can possibly kill herself if she uses her power too much.

But, the two of us have known each other for... like a year? Still, we're like the outcasts of this town, so that pushed us together. The boy has a lot of sense, and knows how to treat a woman. I learned quite a lot from him. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [b][color=darkorange]Hagan[/color][/b] [/cell][cell][i] Out of all the jackasses in Farmer Hill, I've never seen someone race so hard to become the king of shitheads. God, he drives me up the wall, but he knows how to back up his bark. He can definitely swing a punch or two, and I learned a bit from him. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [b][color=#598865]Ryu[/color][/b] [/cell][cell][i] I should have just kept it partying... Ryu's a cool dude. We loved to party, but one drink led to another and... I'm not in the mood to face him anymore. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [color=lightskyblue][b]Caelea[/b][/color] [/cell][cell][i] Can someone please give me a dictionary so I can spell her name? I think she's alright... when she's not being a bitch for no reason. But, I think we're birds of a feather in a way. Rebels... and I respect that. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [color=forestgreen][b]Rien[/b][/color] [/cell][cell][i] A girl I met at the party... I considered leaving with her before Scott went on his rampage... but I know I'll run into her again. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [color=wheat][b]Britney[/b][/color] [/cell][cell][i] She used to be a really good friend of mine, but I had to cut her off when we started growing apart. I wished I hadn't, though... we learned a lot of stuff about ourselves from each other if you know what I mean. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [color=aba000][b]Derrick Palmer[/b][/color] [/cell][cell][i] I don't got a whole lot of good things to say about him...

I should reeeeeeeeeally work on that. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [b]Nathan Ward[/b] [/cell][cell][i] I dragged him through shit because of my own stupidity... how could I be so stupid? [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [color=aba000][b]Derrick Palmer[/b][/color] [/cell][cell][i] The third man in our group! He's a good kid, but I can tell he's hurting inside... something's wrong, and he doesn't know how to deal with it. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [color=forestgreen][b]Rien[/b][/color] [/cell][cell][i] The fourth member of our hipster group! Though, I think they beat everyone else in terms of sheer hipster power! Ha. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [color=9e0b0f][b]Miriam[/b][/color] [/cell][cell][i] It's amazing how life works. One day she wandered into the cafe, and the next she's living with my parents! I wouldn't want it any other way. [/i][/cell][/row] [/table][/hider] [hider=Jordan Nichols Relationship Table] [table=bordered][row][cell][color=Lightcoral]Character name[/color][/cell] [cell][color=Lightcoral][i]Opinion[/i][/color][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [color=slateblue][b]Kimberly Walton[/b][/color] [/cell][cell][i] She's as weird as a country-girl gets. Out of everyone in this crackerfield, I like her the most. I just wished she just stopped to use her head for a moment instead of doing somethin' weird. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [color=aba000][b]Derrick Palmer[/b][/color] [/cell][cell][i] I really don't like the fact that he drinks so much... Kim is cooler with him than me. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [b]Nathan Ward[/b][/cell] [cell][i] He saved Kim, and that's all that matters to me. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [color=blue]Callie Kingston[/color] [/cell][cell][i] I don't gotta good read on her yet... but I think that she's great for helping me with Kimberly. I just feel a little bad that I left her behind like that.... [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [b][color=firebrick]Samson[/color][/b] [/cell][cell][i] Samson's a real hunk... everything about him drives me [b]wild[/b]. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [color=forestgreen][b]Rien[/b][/color] [/cell][cell][i] She's something new. I think she's cool, but again, she does too much damn drinking for me. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [color=9e0b0f][b]Miriam[/b][/color] [/cell][cell][i] Some kooky Texas girl that wandered into town. Real close friends with Kim, but... I think she's too much crazy for me.

To me, it don't mean a damn thing when he gets clocked. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [color=Darkturquoise][b]Claire[/b][/color] [/cell][cell][i] Oh my! The firecracker herself. She's got everything I love in a woman. Height, tough as nails, and got a great personality to match! [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [color=aba000][b]Derrick[/b][/color] [/cell][cell][i] I don't know who this fucker if, but if he ever calls me a faggot again, he's [i][b]dead[/b][/i]. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [color=lightseagreen][b]Peter[/b][/color] [/cell][cell][i] After what happened... I can't bear to look at him. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [color=wheat][b]Britney[/b][/color] [/cell][cell][i] She thinks she owns the town. Well, until her rude awakening.... [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [color=gold][b]Dexter[/b][/color] [/cell][cell][i] I don't know what Claire sees in him. Every time I come around, I shove him into something and he can do nothing about it. One of these days, Claire's going to see who's the real man in this town. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [color=#598865][b]Ryu[/b][/color] [/cell][cell][i] Dexter's buttbuddy. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [color=lightskyblue][b]Caelea[/b][/color] [/cell][cell][i] The whitest kind of white in all of Farmer Hill! We got something in common; we don't put up with anyone's shit. No matter how big or tall they think they are. She would do great in Connecticut.

With me at his side, maybe he won't be for long. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [color=Darkturquoise][b]Claire[/b][/color] [/cell][cell][i] I know what the people round town have to say about her. It's like what they say about me; bullshit. Two of us are tight. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [color=gold][b]Dexter[/b][/color] [/cell][cell][i] Dex is like the coolest kid in all Farmer Hill, a good friend of Kimberly... but I can tell he's hurtin'. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [color=lightcoral][b]Jordan Nichols[/b][/color] [/cell][cell][i] I get the feeling that she wants to talk to me... Daddy taught me to always play hard to get. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [color=#598865][b]Ryu[/b][/color] [/cell][cell][i] He kind of scares me. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [b][color=darkorange]Hagan[/color][/b] [/cell][cell][i] He's king of the jungle, alright. He's real close to a Gorilla. In both looks, and attitude. [/i][/cell][/row] [/table][/hider] [hider=Britney Williams Relationship Table] [table=bordered][row][cell] [color=Darkturquoise][b]Claire[/b][/color] [/cell][cell][i] Claire and I used to be very close. Too close, if you know what I mean. Then she became a self destructive idiot, and I had to stay away from her. Still, I'm still on good terms with her... even if she borrows money from me to buy drugs - or pay off some dealers. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [color=gold][b]Dexter[/b][/color] [/cell][cell][i] A few years ago... my father chose to help his. My father's a kind man, and he gave his family money to get through this tough time. Since then, he's pretty much been my best friend. One of my few legitimate ones in town. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [b][color=darkorange]Hagan[/color][/b] [/cell][cell][i] A knucklehead. In fact the damn king of them. Tarzan ain't got shit on this gorilla. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [b]Nathan Ward[/b] [/cell][cell][i] My father is a close contact of the sherriff's department in town... and one of them, Quentin, married into this boy's family. I don't particularly care for him, but I'd rather not piss off the people who spared me a headache plenty of times. [/i][/cell][/row] [row][cell] [color=lightskyblue][b]Caelea[/b][/color] [/cell][cell][i] I swear, if she lays another hand on me, I'll make sure Sheriff Reese locks her up for a very long time....
