Ezra is goofy sort of boy, usually seen with a smile on his face and being the class clown. With the gift of charisma and charm, Ezra is known to be popular amongst the ladies. His trysts are said to be something legendary, and he has no problem bragging about them. He resorts to sarcasm more often than not - usually a defense mechanism. Though loyal, Ezra doesn't have that many true friends. He is the determined sort of young man, and often times stubborn. A natural born leader, Ezra tends to take over things like school projects. He tends to keep his true emotions hidden, causing him to be a ticking timebomb. Though he is a player, he is also a gentleman - he will hold open doors for people, and help the elderly across the street.

Underneath the goofy exterior is a tragic boy with a broken soul. The little boy that cried himself to sleep for years, and vowed to never do it again once he reached a certain age. The boy that is scared of true, unconditional love. An angry person deep down, when Sam explodes, he truly explodes. He has been suspended from school on multiple occasions for fighting, and his knuckles are often bruised from punching near by walls.

Born and raised right in Brooklyn, Ezra's life has been a roller coaster. Born to a single teenage mother who became a heroine addict six months after his birth, Ezra was more or less neglected for most of his infancy. His biological mother overdosing when he was two caused the boy to be put into foster care. The first family who fostered him - the Costellos - only wanted him because they could not have a child of their own. When they found out they were pregnant, they no longer wanted Ezra. and put him back into the system. He was with them until the age of six.

Ezra lived in a group home from ages six through fourteen. This group home was a personal hell for the boy. The older boys bullied him by taking his food, ripping up his stories, and even pushing him down the stairs. He often went to his room and cried when this happened - angry because he couldn't defend himself, and sad because he didn't understand why they did such things to him. The person assigned to look over them really didn't care. He was just there for the pay check.

Over the years, Ezra learned to fight back. With every day he grew taller and angrier, until one day he finally exploded. It would be at the age of twelve that Ezra would break his first nose. He liked the feeling that it gave him - the feeling of power, and the sense of control. It made the older boys cautious, but it didn't make them completely stop. So he kept fighting. At the age of fourteen, the Princeton family would begin to foster Ezra. They were a true family - the loving, nurturing kind. They were rich, and for the first time in his life, Ezra had what he needed and more. They had him join the football team as a way to deal with his anger. Football seemed to be the only thing that he truly excelled at. The new good life or the sport didn't stop the nightmares or the anger though. Looking for some sort of comfort, Ezra began turning to sex for comfort. Stolen kisses in the halls at first - the playful young relationships one will always remember. Over time, Ezra became more and more bitter. Actual relationships did him no good, so he proceeded to use up girls and toss them away - a habit he has to this very day. At sixteen he began smoking, and at seventeen, he found comfort in a bottle of Jack.

His grades were never more than average, but average was enough to get him into Wooford.

Lyra Beatrix Silva

Trix, Ly(Lie), Camera Girl

21

Female

Bisexual

Single

Lyra met Rachel, When she came to model for the photography club. At first she thought Rachel was nice enough, But didn't think she would see the other girl every again. She later met Rachel again, When she be came one of the models that the art club was suppose to paint. Rachel always compliment her on photos and even hired her to work as a photographer/videographer at her parties and event. As a one last time for old times sake, She was asked to attend one of Rachel's events not only as a photographer but as a guest as well.

Brown Hair, Pink and Maroon highlights, Caramel Skin, Doe Eyes, A impish smile. Yes, these contrasting features belong to Trix, one of the most peculiar looking girls in the school. Some say she is a gorgeous and cute girl and others don't even dare to look at her.
Do you think she is a adorkable Cutie? unconventional beauty? Or a menacing and imitating girl? Well, choice is up to you, not me.
Trix is 5'3, Weighing at exactly 120 pounds. She feels like she is pretty small, and absolutely hates being called shorty.

Trix's sense of style is eclectic and mixed, but loves casual styles and comfortable clothes. She doesn't wear tight and show skin often and wears often her "own thing." It really just makes up Trix, defining the her instead of them. Sometimes she be dressed like a bit like her brother, Making people think she is kindof a tomboy. But usually she can never be found without her leather jacket that she got from her brother, To her it's like a security blanket. She feels more calmer when she is wearing it.

Upon meeting her, Lyra is what you would call a “cutie.” she fits the title well; she’s short for a nineteen year old girl (in her opinion anyways), her voice is soft and clear, and her smile could make flowers grow. she doesn’t speak unless spoken to, which usually gives people who don’t know her well the impression that she’s quiet and shy. well, yeah, she’s quiet, but she’s also comfortable in social situations and usually doesn’t struggle talking to others. She makes friends easily because it’s hard to dislike her and even harder to be mad at her. I mean, just look at her. I know, right?

Beneath the gummy smile and the gentle and soft-spoken exterior is a girl with a surprising amount of snark. She makes the sarcastic remarks and somewhat morbid comments, When she thinks only her real friends can hear her make them. She also curses a lot. Once she starts pulling out the swear words around you, You know you’re fairly close to her, or at least close enough to where she thinks you won’t badmouth her to your mutual friends. That’s another thing: Trix is distrustful to a fault. She always instinctively thinks the worst of everyone because in her eyes everyone’s got an ulterior motive. everyone’s a jealous, greedy, gossiping liar until proven otherwise.

Even though she has super-low standards for humanity, Trix still treats everyone equally and with kindness so long as they don’t piss her off. Though her oftentimes bleak observations and pessimistic worldview suggest otherwise, She has a very optimistic belief that things will get better as long as you put in the effort to make it better – whatever it takes. She’s a hardworking girl who never leaves her friends hanging if she can help it. People who make her mad quickly see that she is not just "all bark and no bite", She willing to get down and dirty to make her point come across or to keep her friends safe. She promised herself along time ago she will never let herself be a victim again. Even her words can make someone feel as small as an ant with stinging insults. When she’s pushed too far, however, she closes herself off from everyone and gets more stressed if people bother her, No matter how good their intentions may be. It takes time for her to recover enough to interact with others again.

Lyra Beatrix Silva, was born in the morning on April 1, 1997 to Liam Evans and Esperanza Silva. Esperanza or Hope as she liked to be called, was a travel photographer and painter. She met Liam on a trip to Los Angeles to visit her family. The two married after only 6 months, and Hope was pregnant just weeks afterwards. Things had started out well enough at first, Hope came from a wealthy family, and with their help she and her husband and their young daughter were able to live a comfortable, upper class life. But Hope yearned to return to the stage, to her life before all of its changes. She sat in the parlor and stared beautiful photos that she took in the past or painted places she had been to everyday. To appease herself, She began teaching her Daughter. Lyra learned about photography, art and how to walk at the same time. Her mother stayed at home and raised her while her father worked. If Lyra had been older, maybe she would have noticed the signs. The dinners tossed into the trash, The untouched pill bottles, The way she sometimes sat on the piano bench and stared out the window for long periods of time and snapped at her in a way she never snapped at her if she bothered her. She left a note and a promise to keep in touch, but she still left. Lyra was nine.
The loss hit Lyra’s father hard to say the least. Here was a man who had given up his dreams of becoming a writer to support his wife and their daughter (who, if he was honest, had been a complete accident). Here was a man whose wife left him with nothing more than a note, a dead end office job, and the responsibility of a young child. Lyra’s father turned to alcohol, He quit the office job and began writing again, eventually taking up odd jobs to scrape together a living when the Silvas' refused to completely support them. For a while Liam and Lyra lived this way, but their relationship remained distant due to the drinking and perpetual silence.

It wasn’t until Lyra was twelve and her father began trying to get his “fucking memoirs” (as Lyra likes to call them) published that problems started occurring. Lyra’s father would take out his frustration on his daughter. First, It was just yelling and cursing, But this soon escalated into full out drunken, severe physical abuse. She would be dragged around by her hair, thrown down the stairs, and choked until she was begging for air. Lyra at time pondered suicide, At times, she would take comfort in playing the piano in the parlor. It was an activity she associated with just the good memories of her mother, and she was very good at it to boot.

One day, when Lyra was fourteen and hadn’t been careful enough to check that her father was at work, The man walked in on her painting. That night, Lyra heard her father dragging large photo frames and easels outside, the splintering of wood, and the cackling of fire devouring the photos and paintings. a week later. She tried suicide, it turned out that medicine gets less potent over time, so instead of shutting down her heart, the pills in the cabinet just made her vomit a lot. She figured she should end it before her father found out what she’d tried to do, so a couple days later she attempted to hang herself from the ceiling fan in her bedroom. She didn’t half-ass it either: The knots in the rope around her neck were secure, and she’d tested her weight on the ceiling fan beforehand. It almost worked but a neighbor saw her jump from the chair through the window and alerted her father, who got her down right before he punched her in the face. Regardless, the incident must have scared her father. Because Lyra was left alone for a while, She collected herself and reduced her depression from a storm to just a cloud. Eventually she began to think about her future.

Though Lyra made it clear that she wanted to pursue art at least as an extracurricular if not as a career, Her father vehemently refused. When Lyra actually stood up and argued back at her father about the subject, The man threatened to kick her out if she didn’t pursue something more worthwhile, like medicine or economics. Shortly after this declaration, Her father actually got those fucking memoirs published. He gave some of the money to Lyra, before grabbing the bags he packed for her and her out of his house. And that’s basically the sad story of Lyra’s life. Oh, sure, there are brighter moments– She’s always been able to lean on at least a few people for support, Like her mother's family would always try to help and the friends who don’t know anything about it still help her in some way, of course.

The time she spent outside of the house was okay, even pleasant sometimes. The abuse continued to the day she was kicked out; the only difference was that her father could inflict it while sober. Still, Lyra’s glad that her father kicked her out. The day her father kicked her out she called her mother's family. They helped her to move to California to live with her Aunt Amaranta and Cousin Orion, At first, She was bit weary to be living with her aunt and cousin. But thanks to her cousin's help, She found herself enjoying her new life and friendships. Gone was the sad, scared Lyra. In her place stood Trix, A girl who was stronger and not willing to let anyone hurt again.

On her Sixteenth birthday, Her Aunt had told her that she had gained full custody over Lyra. Orion congratulated her and told her now they were more than just cousins, They were brother and sister. He hoped that she would rely on him more with any problems, no matter how small. When she graduated high school and learned both her and Orion got accepted at Woodford University, she couldn't believe her luck. Sure, She didn't get a full ride scholarship like Orion. But she still made it without needing to ask that man for money. She received a partial scholarship and her Aunt covered the rest of her school fees.

Ezekiel Xavier Thomas.

Zeke, E-Z.

22.

Male.

Homosexual.

Single.

Zeke met Rachel at the cafe he worked at, he hadn't expected to get so engaged in conversation with the girl who'd made her order only moments before his break but it happened. He got so distracted talking to her that he entirely failed to notice that he'd spent his full thirty minutes there. After that incident, he took to talking to her every time she came into the cafe. He even memorized her order so efficiently that he stopped needing to ask her at all.

All in all, Zeke has taken to considering her a friend.

A born introvert, Ezekiel prefers to have time to himself and can be quite disagreeable if he's denied that time to himself. This isn't to say that he hates people altogether, just that he needs time to recharge after social ventures. He's very open and honest in conversation, a generally agreeable guy. Talking to him isn't much of a struggle and he has a warm humor about him.

He's very smart, the kind of person who sucks up knowledge like a sponge. He loves to learn new things and he's always searching for some new branch of knowledge to balance upon. He especially has a love of insects and he knows more about them than any other subject. This can lead to him sharing this information with whatever poor party that's willing to listen to him.

He also has a particularly good memory, holding onto details that might have otherwise been forgotten. It also helps that he tends to take notes and keeps an active journal. He's very private about the contents of his journal and keeps it hidden in his room. He has a slight worry of one of his siblings finding it.

At times, he can be a bit moody. These times are usually a result of him being cranky from lack of sleep or being surrounded in too many people for too long. When he gets into one of his "moods", he tends to snap at people or say things that he otherwise wouldn't. He'll usually apologize for these outbursts within the hour or sulk about it if the other party got angry in return.

Ezekiel was raised in a privileged household, with a big family and a reasonable amount of money. He had just about everything he ever needed. He spent his childhood catching bugs and bringing them indoors (much to the dismay of his mother) and quickly became very interested in all kinds of insects. He learned as much as he could about the insects that he caught, pouring over library books and basically becoming an encyclopedia of bug facts. Despite this quirk, he was a fairly normal young boy.

His hunger for knowledge only grew as he got older. It expanded to new subjects, it became his favorite past time. If he learned something new, he spent days upon days researching it and becoming as knowledgeable as he could about it. This love of learning inspired extremely good grades. Even if he didn't like a subject, he found it relatively easy to learn.

He connected easily with boys in his age group and was even popular amongst the girls to some degree. People liked him, he liked people for the most part. Ezekiel was not a hard person to get along with. That's why it was especially strange when he never started dating. When asked about his interest in the girls that he knew, he seemed to think the idea of dating was ludicrous. Little did anyone know, he was dodging the truth about himself and had been for years.

By the time he turned sixteen, he was starting to realize his growing attraction to men and that made him very uncomfortable. He didn't know how to talk about this or who he could talk to about it so he kept it inside. He seemed to figure that it would go away if he didn't give it attention, he was very wrong. In fact, it seemed more and more apparent that he wasn't finding women attractive.

Despite his strong relationship with his family, he couldn't bring himself to talk about this. He would dodge questions that got too close for comfort and he'd pretend like everything was fine. He was the type to encourage his friends to do whatever made them happy while not following his own advice in the slightest.

Around the age of seventeen, he had his first kiss. Though this was never spoken of out loud, it's written in explicit detail in his journal. At a small house party, he had gotten a little tipsy and made the mistake of kissing a close male friend of his. Though they agreed that this was just a product of the alcohol in his bloodstream, he was unable to forget it.



At eighteen, he forced himself into a relationship with a girl and it was very strained. It was obvious that there was a lot of distance between the two. He was emotionally and physically distant and she was often left on the sidelines. They dated for about a year before he couldn't seem to take it any longer and broke it off. He never explained his reasoning for breaking up with her but it inspired talk from the locals.

He's avoided dating like the plague ever since and remains in the closet to this day. Recently, he's thrown himself into his job and tried to focus on his insect collection to occupy himself but recieving the invitation from Rachel pulled him out of his funk. At least for the time being.

Matthew Logan Young

He prefers to be called Matt

21

Male

Pansexual

Single but he's always one for hookups

He thinks that she finds him amusing, and maybe that's the truth, however, the other truth is probably truer. They're classmates, he had the smallest of crushes, maybe they hooked up, maybe he tried to persuade her to do drugs and failed but she still finds him quite funny and self destructing enough to be entertaining. They exchange a lot of text threads and pass about cunningly aimed jokes in the university hallways

△ Sarcastic
△ Cunning
△ Wild & Reckless
△ Humorous (with a liking towards dry humor)
△ Party animal
▼ Rebellious
▼ Hot tempered
▼ Easily misunderstood
▼ Angsty as hell

Matt can be misinterpreted a lot of the time because his sense of humor can be quite cutting. He's boisterous and a total party animal and can get quite wild when drunk, an offending figure. He does things without thinking them through and is often the kind of guy who seems to never to care what others think. Other times, provided he's sober and happy, he can be a goofball and can look quite innocent, a seemingly harmless boy who's ready to spark as much fun in others as he can and enjoying the time he gets to spend happy. Though relatively goofy, if provoked he can get a lot worse, becoming angry really fast, lashing out at everyone near him and considering how reckless he is, he can be prove to be quite the self detonating bomb.

Matt grew up in a normal family, if his upbringing can be considered one. Under the care of a single mom and with a little sister in tow he's always wanted a father, his wish granted when his mom remarried to her long time boyfriend when he was 12. Matt was over the sun and he and his step father bonded a lot. He was the one who taught Matt how to bake (albeit badly) and how to play soccer. His step father brought out the best in Matt and never turned his back on him, even when Matt told him that he was pansexual. He loved him equally as much as Matt loved. So when he died when Matt was 16, it felt like Matt's whole life had fallen apart. High school for him turned into someplace where he could fully lash out in the absence of what he believed was the only person who would love him, his mom had already proven to fall apart in pieces after her second break up and barely took care of her small family. As Matt went to parties and got drunk he left his sister back at home under the care of a slowly crumbling "mother" figure. He feels a lot of regret for those days now, even though his relationship with his little sister, Avery is mended and she loves him more than anything else in the world. As for his education, well, after missing a lot of days and getting in a lot of trouble Matt was able to get back on his feet again and focus on his love of DJing as a way to get him by and as something to look forwards to after high school.

After graduation he decided to attend University, double majoring in Sound Engineering and Business Entrepreneurship in order to follow his dead step dad's wishes of him finally settling down, getting a career and raising a normal family as would any average person do. Throughout his years from graduation to graduation at the university he finally is able to grow up a bit and understand the anger and the angst that's been kept inside him for so long. He got a part time job as a barista near the university and is looking forwards to getting a good job somewhere as a sound technician (he's still on the search) or maybe even moving off and trying something else like DJing at a club or starting his own vinyl business. Matt still enjoys partying and having fun but for the right reasons now, instead of the wrong ones. However, he also still has an inclination to cause trouble just for the fun of it, and maybe because he doesn't realise that the effects of his step dad's death still hasn't left him.

Richard Taylor Emmerson Junior

Ricky, Chef, Junior to his family

21

Male

Gay

Single and looking for Mr. Right

Ricky met Rachel at the Bake off, where he stole First place with his caramel toffee bars. He was invited to join her at one of her parties. He would occasionally attend, though he often hosted his own at his Stepfather's house over breaks since he loves to cook.

Stubborn | Kind | Creative | Abscentminded

Ricky is one of the kindest people around. Always willing to lend a hand and offer a tasty treat he's known as of the Dads of the class. He tends to get lost in his head, especially when he's stressed out over things. He has a brilliant mind capable of coming up with totally insane but amazing food ideas. One of his major draws is that he's been on the spectrum since he was diagnosed at age 12. He tends to not notice the more subtler nuances in people which often leads to him being thought of as slow. He wants to see everyone succeed in life. When he stims it's usually excessive rubbing of his hands when he's overwhelmed.

Ricky has always been the curious type. Growing up in a military family he moved a lot in his childhood. He really bonded with his Dad, who he's named after. When he lost him to cancer he was extremely depressed for a time. It was around this time when he was diagnosed with Asperger's and the revelation rocked him. It was around this time that his other father was being deployed to Japan and so he studied there while his father was stationed there.

It was there his dad met his stepfather, Jonathan Nakamura, another Master Sergeant stationed at the base. Jonathan and Ricky bonded well, helping him push through his disability and Jonathan and Carter were married after they returned to the States. Ricky graduated high school and moved on to Woodford. He's involved in a lot of activities, specifically anything that has to do with cooking and culinary skills.
