Family Members:
Father: Otto Puckett, A Pediatrician, works very hard. Loves kids, can not tolerate teenagers. Would do anything for his wife. The most concerned about Rupert in the family, does try to reach out to him every so often but to no avail.
Mother: Zygmunty Puckett, A surgeon, the busiest in the family. Iron Lady, very strict with her kids but does enjoy their company every so often. Loves his husband very much. Has a hard time understanding Rupert, is very upset about him and is also a bit against his homosexuality.
Siblings:
Sister: Hannah Ilyse Puckett, an over-achieving lawyer. Can be very cold and calculating, cares about her family very much. Haven't been in a romantic relationship ever. Is probably the closest Rupert has to a friend in the family at the moment but she is too busy to attend to him. The most emotionally open in the family.
Brother: Hansel Aleph Puckett, 2 years younger than Rupert. A MENSA member. Looks up to his older siblings and respects his parents the most. Values honesty and loves listening to Rupert ramble, but does have trouble reciprocating attention to him. Knows the most about Rupert even though they're not necessarily friends, they tolerate each other if anything. Rupert thinks he's a bit too stuck up and too dogmatic.

History (From Birth to High School Grad):

Rupert's childhood was a bit difficult, having always been stuck in the sidelines because of the middle-child syndrome, he never really felt adequate about his self because his older sister's achievements always overpowered his. It was bearable and simple at first, his parents are naturally fond of kids but being busy doctors with people to save and details to attend, attention has always been lacking. Things just got harder as he grew up and upon realization, he knew he had to fight for the attention and that mediocrity was not a trait his family approves of. There's something fiercely sad about feeling under appreciated by your parents, when that's all you've ever asked for. Pertie was never book-smart and although he never failed classes and sure, he's had some remarkable A's, in the Puckett household that's sub-par and straight A's are just standard. His relationship with his siblings or the lack thereof is something he has been trying to remedy recently and is turning out to be quite a struggle, because apparently some years of being distant is not something you can just fix right away, who'd've thunk?!
Rupert is a boy of many words, he can literally talk for hours on end and has a very good sense of working people into and out of things which is a very helpful skill in his choice of a career. This makes him a bit unbearable for some people, especially those who are fond of the quiet and silence. The boy has become a bit of a compulsive liar. He is the kind of person who would be the first to greet you in a room full of people, the one who would attend to you the moment you enter his proximity; the fact that he talks a lot doesn't mean he forgets to listen though and he does his best to stay observant, sometimes even calculating. Because of his upbringing and being a neglected middle child, Rupert has always thrived and strives for attention. There's this impulse for him to always say what he thinks, even if it's unwarranted. He's a street-smart type of a person, who always feels like he comes up short with the academic intellect and feels very conscious about it.
His need to always be in control of a situation sometimes turns him intimidating and bossy, he's not really that aware of it, his friends are too scared to call him out but he does catch himself sometimes... but barely cares. He hates being on the losing side and has trouble coming to terms with defeat. His being gabby is a sort of defense mechanism, if he doesn't let out words from his mouth, he tends to implode and be antsy. He's easily consumed by his head when left alone, this is why he loves noise and crowds because he can just easily lose himself in the chaos of it all. Although when he does have no choice then he just writes his thoughts down on paper, thus, the odd stories on his notebook; this is to let his thoughts flow somewhere else than let them implode. Pertie is your typical neglected middle child with a rebellious streak striving to be an... almost decent person, or whatever passes as a friend you can call in times of need, for a little exchange sometimes.
Contrasting from his current hyper-sociability, High school was just about as awkward a phase as anyone could have for Pertie; he was still in denial about most of the things about him, mainly his sexuality and then about his mental state, it alienated him from people and social interactions were unbearable. He only kept a few friends, although that's what he tells himself because truth be told, he was hard to be with, people left him and it was not the other way around. He's planning to develop a habit for self-love and eventually come to terms with himself and the state he was in.
With over-achieving siblings, a younger brother aiming to take up medicine and a lawyer as a sister, Pertie's leaning towards the liberal arts is a sort of way to get his parent's attention. Having come to terms with the fact that he can't outsmart his siblings academic-wise, and having skills beyond the books and more on the grits, he's realized that he can beat them in other areas.
Rupert's love for pop culture and the arts has always been a sort of safe haven and it is the one thing that made life more bearable for him so he decided that maybe through that very thing he knows best, he can finally show his parents his worth. He started building a portfolio and a youtube vlog documenting his thoughts and opinions with various multimedia quirks thrown in. He's going to take up Journalism as his major, planning to build up on what he has began. He was determined to do exceedingly well, It's never just a task for Rupert, it's always a competition.
For the first year of uni, his best friend-love-of-his-life and his own little ass rented a little flat to stay in but things are starting to go sour between the two lovebirds... Money has never been a problem because he has rich parents who gives him finances as long as he stays out of their hair and out of trouble so there's that at least. Rupert's psyche is a bit of a mess at this point and he needs to figure his shit out and fast, he can't be leaving home with loose ends and a cluttered head. But you know, there's always uni and schoolwork and a whole shit ton of fun to drown yourself in but oh my god, you're actually feeling very delicate and on edge so big whoop. But you know what, You always figure things out, it's just another thing that happens, it's whatever, grin face, side eye, wink face.

History (From Birth to High School Grad):Sadie and her family lived in a tiny town called Westworth, which was near to NYC, when Sadie was growing up. Her life from birth to about 6 was fairly normal. She had many friends in Kindergarten, and first grade had started the same way until something happened.

You see Sadie wasn't born a Hill. She was adopted into the family at the age of six. She was orphaned when her family was killed during a kidnapping gone wrong. Her father and mother tried to stop two men who were attempting to kidnap Sadie and her younger brother. They were killed by the two men and Sadie and her brother had received serious injuries, but before the kidnappers could get away the cops showed up. The men were arrested and the two children were rushed to the hospital. Unfortunately Sadie's brother died during treatment and when Sadie was stable weeks later they moved her to the children's wing. The long process of figuring out what to do with her began. She had no close or distant living relatives and they were most likely going to put her in the foster program. However, there was a family that had happened to be volunteering at the hospital at the time and Sadie quickly became attached to the twins of the family. The kids knew that Sadie was probably going to become a foster child but they couldn't let it happened. So after days of constant begging, their parents decided to undergo the adoption process. She doesn't remember much before the incident but loves her new family all the same.

Sadie was overjoyed with the fact that someone had chosen to take her in. She had two new older brothers, Oliver and Alex; two older sisters, Lindsey and Kiley; and a younger brother, Micky. Her new parents were Nathan and Taylor. Her new family was loving and caring and she didn't feel left out for one second. They always made sure she felt at home with them.

This is only the first chapter of her story. Realizing that the big city was causing emotional stress on one of their children(despite her being adopted), the parents decided they would take the family and move somewhere quieter and with fewer people who knew too much. The location they decided upon was Pinewood Ridge, Nathan's hometown. This was just in time for her first year of middle school. Everything was fine for a while but as Sadie started high school she started acting differently. She sounded sad and acted as if she didn't have control. Eventually, she was diagnosed with Depersonalization Disorder. However, discovering the issue made things easier as she was able to get proper help and medication for what was happening. As time went on she got better. She even threw herself into the active life at school. That is the student council. Her Senior year she even became the student council president. By the end of the year, she had successfully graduated as the Salutatorian. She was able to work past any struggles in her way and survived High School, but what was next?

Family Members:

• Thomas Lachlan Painter- father (deceased)
• Cassidy Ann Painter- mother
• Patrick Graham Painter- older brother (23)
• Whiskey- Snuggle-hating cuddle victim (cat)

History (From Birth to High School Grad):
It was a tragedy that shook the usually quiet and peaceful little town of Pinewood Ridge. Heavy rain poured down making vision from a vehicle near impossible and the road too slippery to make a quick save, that evening a 19 year old girl was left brutally injured (but fortunately survived and recovered) and a young man lost his life leaving behind his pregnant wife and young child. Three months later Lachlan was born to his widowed mother.

Despite growing up without his dad Lachlan would consider his life relatively normal. His mum had her own catering business but as the town was too small for her to have a consistent income from it she held down an accounting job also. Although the family of 3 weren't particularly moneyed they didn't have many troubles financially.

As for Lachlan, not having a father was a way of life, just something that was. With little to do in the town, especially when you've lived there your whole life, he found his own way to enjoy himself and made a bit of a reputation for himself with his mischief.

History (From Birth to High School Grad):To start telling the biography of Derek one would need to start first with his parents.

Sarah and Mike, the mother and father of Derek, were the IT couple at Pineview Ridge during their high school years. The captain of the football team and the head cheerleader. Prom King and Queen and the most popular kids in town. Yet, as a lot of kids their age, they were young, stupid, and careless. A few weeks after prom Sarah realized she was pregnant. Her parents were furious but did nothing to punish the girl. Mike also promised he would stick by her side forever and that a baby wouldn't change anything, and she believed him. How unfortunately naive.

Only a few days before the due date and Mike disappeared without a trace. Even the boys family and closest friends had no idea where he went other than a note that basically said screw everyone and that he was skipping town forever. To add onto Sarah's grief her mother passed away the day that Derek was born. How could someone be happy in these horrible circumstances? However, the moment she looked at the tiny bundle she only felt happiness. Sarah was overjoyed to have the baby in her arms.

The joy didn't last long and she knew it wouldn't. Her father was an extremely strict man. He told her she would work to get a place for her and her baby despite having the money and living space to support them. He would give them money anytime they ultimately needed it, but other than that all the man did was watch Derek while Sarah was working or taking classes.

Skip a few years to while Derek is in elementary school. He is a kind quiet sort. Helps his classmates and has a few friends. Then a specific kid moves into town. Starts bullying Derek calling him all sorts of things and pestering him. Derek took it and never responded. Until one day the boy attacked one of Derek's friends. Derek couldn't stand by and watch. He stood up to the bully and in the process got beat up for it. Then his 'friend' didn't even help him.

This basically broke Derek. He switched schools because his mother didn't want him to get hurt again. When he started at the new school he was different. No longer the sweet boy. Now, he despised anyone who looked down on others or had it in any sorts of the way easy. No one other than Sarah remembered the kind boy that Derek used to be.

Starting high school was basically the same deal. By this time he had his lackeys and easily became one of the top dogs of his grade. He was basically just a jerk and bully to anyone who didn't stand behind him. Being one of the best football players in the state didn't help much either. By his junior year, some considered him the most popular guy on campus, and he absolutely hated it.

Over the summer between his junior and senior year, something unexpected happened. Mike Harris had returned to town with two children tagging along. The story was he ran away with some college girl and was only now coming back because his wife died and he wanted to introduce his children to their family. Derek wanted nothing to the three and neither did Sarah really, but when Risteard suggested she try to reconnect since he was fairly well off and Mike asked her out she agreed. One thing led to another and Mike had Sarah move in with him. They tried to get Derek to move in as well but he refused to move opting to stay at the apartment he had called home for years. His mother was able to at least get Derek to let Mike pay for the apartment, but the teenager still hated the man.

It didn't take Derek long to realize that Mike was not as kind as he was pretending to be. Noticing the faint signs of his mother's diminishing physical strength and freedom. During his Senior year, all the stress caused Derek to somewhat reflect on who he was. He never wanted to be anything like Mike and felt that the path he was on was turning him into that man. At first, he started by trying to apologize to some of those he had terrorized in the school eventually even doing various favors for them. No one faulted him for trying, but he still hadn't 100% changed and was still aggressive and hot-headed letting his mean streak bleed through every now and then.

Reaching the end of his Senior year he has at least somewhat made up for a little bit of the trouble he caused to others. He also formed at least somewhat of a relationship with his two half-siblings only because of his mother. However, he still despises the man known as his father and it's likely that fact will never change.
