Name: Mari Palladino
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Appearance: At first glance, Mari could easily be mistaken for a sickly boy. Traces of asian ancestry are visible within her mostly caucasian face. Her skin has an almost unhealthy lack of colour. While cut to her ears, her brown hair is dull and messy. Her eyes lack any bright colours, resembling two stones rather than romantic jewels. Large bags are under each eye, a testament to her lack of sleep. Her attire is baggy and chosen simply because it hides her body. She has two unique identifiers: the set of asymmetrical earrings she wears and tattoos of esoteric symbols on the fingers of her left hand. Horizontal scars litter her forearms, but most had since faded. Conversely, large vertical scars are visible on her palms and cutting across the old scars.
Personality Traits:
Self-Reliant | Creative | Coolheaded | Misanthropic | Unempathetic | Standoffish
Relevant Info: Mari doesn't really have much in her life, but what she does have is irreplaceable to her. Her entire family is either estranged or deceased. The only human person she cares about is her boyfriend Sho. Together, Mari and him have a mutt named Hope. If anything happened to Hope, Mari would probably kill whatever harmed Hope and then herself. While they find themselves homeless at times, they have recently found peace and safety in a small, busted apartment. While most would hate living in such a place where everything is constantly on the verge of breaking, the three live a relatively secluded and happy life.

Personality Traits
^{Nurturing | Faithful | Composed | Obsessive | Systematic | Dull}

Relevant Info: Riley seemingly lives a normal life as a college freshman. He takes the bus to a stop nearby her university throughout the week, packs a lunch which he preps himself a day ahead, and besides that not much else could be noted by an outsider looking in. Outside of this daily schedule is a whole different beast however, as Riley juggles his father’s companies cannibalizing eachother for control of the empire and managing the assets that was left behind. It’s a headache - not the kind that you take an aspirin for and it goes away, the kind that - pierces through each temple and drills to the brains epicenter with the piercing grind of bone and gray matter. But that won’t get to our Riley, right? They find time to socialize with friends on weekends when Velskaya business isn’t weighting her down and eventually it will eventually go away once the board of directors finds someone to helm the political decisions.

Name: Ryan Watts

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Appearance: Ryan has short black hair that is rarely combed, and has a somewhat greasy look - like he hadn't washed in a period of time. It wouldn't be wrong to call him short, but he is not too far from average height. His choice of clothing is usually either very casual, such as baggy tracksuits, or extremely formal, like three-piece suits. Perhaps because of this, very few people realize that Ryan is fairly muscular - he's been going to the gym around 3-4 times a week for the last 4 years, at the request of his ex-girlfriend, Susan. Ryan claims he only continues out of habit, and because it makes his work easier. Ryan also has several piercings in his ears, but he takes these out whenever doing a Funeral or Viewing. He planned on getting rid of them, but a kid he watches after, Dennis, said that it made him look cool.

Personality Traits:
Passionate | Friendly | Upbeat | Clingy | Creepy | Aggressive

Relevant Info: Ryan works as a Mortician in his family Funeral Home, and has been doing so since he got his degree. He has immense respect for his Father, Wyatt Watts, who was the primary reason he even went into that career path. He's had two girlfriends in the past, but would only really be bothered by threats against the first, Susan Robinson. He has a very wide circle of friends and acquaintances due to his line of work, several of which he would sacrifice a lot for. Ryan volunteers at an Orphanage in his free time and has been planning on adopting a younger boy, Dennis Cleat. He is nervous about his chances, considering he is a single male in his mid-twenties, and threats of limiting his time with the boy would be very persuasive.

D A R K - S E C R E T:

Name:
Risa Watanabe

Age:
21

Gender:
Female

Appearance:
Risa has long black hair, very fair skin, and reddish pink eyes. She is of average height, and she always likes to look presentable and wear pretty clothes whenever given the chance. She might seem ditzy or naive because of how she acts and speaks cutely, but deep beneath her cheerful exterior lies a girl full of malice. Her true nature will come up in certain situations but she really likes to act all girly as much as she can because she believes 'not acting girl enough' makes her less as pretty.

To the observer, Risa even looks like a character of purity and calmness as he always likes to look and feel clean. He's more of a silent type, though he won't hesitate to have conversations with other people so he could invite them to appear in his web show. He likes to think of himself as simple-looking though he did have a few admirers in the past. He doesn't like conflict that much as he prefers it if any misunderstanding can be cleared up with a simple talk, but that doesn't mean he can't defend himself.

Personality Traits:
Cheerful | People-Person | Sharp-Witted | Cunning | Sadist | Manipulative

Relevant Info:
She was left at an orphanage when she was just a baby. None of the nuns running the orphanage knew who they were and why they left her there, but the nuns gave Risa a necklace that they found on her. It had a gold chain and a blood-red oval crystal surrounded by a golden circlet. She held on to it after all these years as she misses them dearly every passing day. She couldn't wait until they could be one whole happy family again and show them just how much she missed them.

D A R K - S E C R E T:

Appearance:
Blond, athletic, and standing at a fairly statuesque six foot two, Orwell is a striking figure that easily makes heads turn. Although aware of this effect he has on people, he does not go out of his way to look more appealing to others, only caring to look professional and presentable as a pilot. He is often seen with a serious and pensive demeanor about him, rarely breaking into a smile.
Personality Traits:
Efficient | Knowledgable | Charismatic | Calm | Selfish | Self-Righteous | Argumentative | Proud
Relevant Info:
Orwell lives a spartan life despite his relatively high income; the most expensive things he owns are his watch and shoes. A silver earring on his left ear hints at the rebellious youth he once had.
James Higgins - Orwell's younger brother, currently working as an aircraft mechanic. They are estranged; Orwell beat his face into a pulp because of a drunken argument regarding the coordinates of some remote city in Peru. Orwell could not accept that his answer was wrong and subsequently destroyed his brother's facial features with a broken beer bottle. Orwell was put on a restraining order, but this did not affect his job as he has a good relationship with the top bosses.
Iris Dela Cruz - A flight attendant that is often assigned to flights with Orwell. They have a friends with benefits relationship, though Orwell once got her pregnant and pressured her into getting an abortion. He assumes she did as he asked, although he hears about her bringing a nephew to work occasionally, and people often remark how much the boy looks like Orwell.
Corvus - An individual who gives Orwell some odd transport or chartered flight jobs for wealthy clients. Orwell has never seen this person and has only ever communicated with Corvus through a phone. Corvus' voice sounds distorted, and Orwell is not certain if Corvus is male or female. It has been a while since Corvus has called, since Orwell botched his last transport job.
Felicity Yeoh - A major executive of the airline Orwell works for. She is perhaps the only person Orwell has ever cared for, and is his closest confidante. She is middle-aged and has three graduate degrees under her belt, and has three daughters and a husband she loves dearly. She treats Orwell as the son she never had.
