Master of the kamehameha, lover of banquet feasts, looking for my Bulma or Videl cuz Chi Chi need'a chill.' "Aight, so, look, you already know about me since this ain't my first time but I'll play along and humor y'all. Yeah, course I know I'm not actually Goku but that's not what my nickname means; it just means I hold his ideals close to my heart, except for the fact where I lowkey think he might be brain damaged from his fall as a kid but that's besides the point. Like my main man Goku, I value hard work and I really don't like it when people want something but think of a million ways to take the path of least resistance to get it. I don't believe anyone is above redemption, but in the same token if you fuck with me or mine? Then I will not stop until you understand who you fucked with and know not to ever do it again. You want a seat at the table, you're welcome to it, but don't eat off of others' plates, you know?" "Go ahead and ask Nicky and he'll tell you I'm the most loyal person out there. I don't like havin' beef with anyone and there are few things lower than someone who'll shake your hand while hiding the knife he's gonna stab your back with in the other hand. I like to think I'm a leader, that I inspire confidence but really? That might just be because I have an endless amount of charisma and energy and what better way to channel that then by using my power for good. Nothing I hate more than seeing someone standing up against the wall at a dance or sitting by themselves at lunch, y'know? So it's something of a personal mission for me to ensure that everyone I come into contact with be it for one minute or one hour leaves thinking 'Hey, that Mike guy? What a cool motherfucker'. Sure, some people out there might think it's not cool that I'm into anime and shit but to them I say: what's cooler than being passionate about something? What's cooler than being comfortable enough to not give a shit what people think about your interests? It's a lesser being that brings others down when bringing them up is an option. I'm a bonafide ally to good!" "And only Nicky can call me Mikey. I mean it."

As a child, Mike wasn't just 'the fat kid' in the neighborhood, he was the target of ridicule to the point of being called 'Penguin' because he 'waddled'. He tried to use humor as a way to bridge the gap from bullying to being accepted but he could never shake the feeling that they were laughing at him and not with him. Having busy parents who both worked jobs meant they were a fast food family which didn't help Mike much at all. In middle school he thought he had a friend but catching said friend joining in on the bullying hurt more than a shot to the heart. Mike took solace in media, particularly anime and manga even from a young age, but it wasn't until that middle school betrayal that he used anime as a source for inspiration. As a source for good. A lifelong fan of DragonBall Z, Mike saw the work that Goku put in and decided that if Goku could do it, so could he. It was hard work, everything worth doing is, but a change to his lifestyle meant by the time he was in ninth grade he was walking in a new man. Because of his experience as a kid, Mike made it a habit of reaching out to the kids in high school who sat alone at lunch and sat with them, rapped with them, added them on Facebook, all that stuff, made them feel welcome and accepted. Needless to say, Mike went from zero to hero, from friendless to friendly and never let anyone mock him or anyone else for having 'nerdy' interests. Mike managed to turn his work ethic into motivation for his main hobby: competitive fighting games, which is a community he's been part of for a good seven years or so. Camp was never his first idea, he'd just as soon spend his summers working part time to save up for EVO tickets, but his best friend, Nicky, convinced him and while Mike isn't sure how many more years he'll go, he can at least admit it's been an overall positive experience and he's made more than one genuine friend in his time.[/indent][/indent] [center]♫ [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bec3fVo1f8o][color=F85B1A][i]Kyouretsu☆mouretsu☆dynamic!

How can I describe myself? My favorite bible verse is Deuteronomy 31:6 'Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you' which I think is what helps me get through tough situations. I'm from Texas and I am an active member of my church. Or I was before my parents got divorced and I decided to spend the holidays with my...liberal aunt who decided that camp would be a better use of my winter break. I have faith and am religious but don't treat me like a zealot or like how the Romans treated Jesus. I'm aware people up north have...different values than me but that doesn't make them any less of God's children. Just because I have some conservative values, I still watch the same movies and listen to the same music as everyone else. I just don't really understand things like social media and think the only thing that should be ticking and tocking is a clock." "I'm aware that people of our age when put together in an environment such as this will have the mind think of...lascivious things, and I don't want to be like Mrs. Carmody in The Mist or anything but I feel I should say that I am saving myself for marriage and no offense to my fellow campers but I doubt I will find Mister Harper Davenport here of all places. But then the Lord works in mysterious ways. I think it's important to state that while I am spiritual, it's not the entirety of my being. I love animals, I don't live on a farm but I work at a butcher shop and make my own jerky at home - which I even sell at the shop to rave reviews. I don't sit around reading the Bible all the time, just some verses in the morning and with evening prayer. Hell, I have even been known to cuss with the best of them. I respect the value of an honest day's work and I'm a giving person, but don't mistake generosity for being a doormat. I'm from Texas, we're tough whether man or woman.

Born in a small town deep in Texas, Harper learned at a fairly young age the value of an honest day's work and the value of giving just a few hours of your time in worship every week. At Sunday School as a little girl she was always one to go above and beyond with the little assignments, once doing an entire ten minute presentation on the Stations of the Cross that impressed the Sunday School teacher so much that she performed it in front of the church to praise and applause. It was because of that that Harper started being more active within the church community, volunteering for the Christmas nativity play, doing bake sales and fund raisers, and while she couldn't be an altar server due to her gender, she did join the choir. Despite a rural and religious upbringing, it came as a great surprise to Harper when her parents got a divorce citing just 'differences' and no amount of Harper citing religious text could get them to change their mind. Harper lives with her dad but his job this year has taken him overseas to Europe and rather than take her along, he arranged for his sister, her aunt, to look after her. Harper's aunt owns an LGBT bookstore and writes for an LGBT themed magazine, both of which were a surprise to Harper. Despite Harper being willing to not discuss things, her aunt decided to send Harper to camp regardless out of a belief that Harper was going to come angry and staunchly opposed to her aunt's lifestyle. At least her aunt got Harper a pair of snow boots. Merry Christmas.

I don't come from a life of means, I've never really been out of state let alone out of district but I don't want to be seen as a charity case - especially by those who only use charity as a tax write off for the taxes they don't pay anyway. Some people think I'm funny but humor is a good way to deflect criticism when it is pointed at you, the idiots call it satire because they don't understand what satire is. I guess I'll take the compliment of being funny, though. I prefer to think of myself as an outspoken, confident, husky voiced lesbian, the kind that gives the main character in a crappy Netflix movie her first sexual awakening before the main character realizes that no, actually, she's still into dicks because screenwriters are too cowardly. Look, I knew I was gay before I knew what gay was and I'm fortunate enough to have a supportive family, but I don't have the time to deal with tourists like that." "I'm very family-oriented, I love my family and I would die for my family but no one at a winter camp is in my family so at most I'll be friendly with them unless they give me reason not to. I'm not out here trying to be a female Holden Caulfield but I guess that fits for those who want to pigeon hole people because it's easier than getting to know them on any level other than superficial. Let me ask you something, staff or whoever this weird registration form is for, does anyone ever answer this in a way that doesn't make them sound like a fucking diamond?

The best thing about grocery stores is that they often just have shelled peanuts out in the open and since they don't have a barcode she can totally just grab a couple handfuls, shove them in her pocket, and leave and then she doesn't have to go hungry for the night.

Riley comes from a poor family, and by poor it's legitimately 'they live in a homeless shelter' levels of poor. She is the oldest of five siblings and between a father who can barely hold minimum wage jobs and a mother who works two jobs just to have just enough to ensure everyone gets some food at the end of the day, there's not a lot of [i]stuff[/i] to go around the Quinn family. Fortunately, at age eight Riley found an acoustic guitar in an alley one day; its strings were busted but a music shop was willing to fix it for her for free when she hit them with the waterworks. By age ten Riley was busking in the street by playing that same guitar. Often what she made busking was what she used to eat on any particular night. In junior high she got along well with a music teacher at school who was dealing with the school cutting extracurriculars because of funding. She taught her how to play the guitar with a bit more finesse and when Riley graduated, that same teacher gifted Riley a bass guitar. It wasn't new, it was the teacher's old one, but it was the best gift Riley had ever gotten. Riley continued to busk through high school inbetween working minimum wage jobs with every bit of her paychecks going to her family. They managed to move into a very cramped small apartment when Riley was fourteen. The newest thing in their apartment is the clock radio. Unbeknownst to Riley, though, her parents and her siblings had been saving portions of their own money to surprise Riley for all her hard work in supporting them. Because Riley has had no time to maintain friendships with people her own age due to her working and busking, her family surprised her with an early Christmas gift: a trip to a winter camp where she could have fun for a change. Riley was uncertain if it was 'for her' but she's not going to refuse a gift from her family. If nothing else, it might provide good song writing material for when her future music career takes off. It's all she has to hope for at this point. That or marrying some fabulously wealthy and sexy doctor who likes Riley's husky voice and down to earth vibes.[/indent][/indent] [center][color=c5cac6]____________________________________________________________[/color][/center] [center]♫ [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d91Qn8QUks][color=c5cac6][i]Passing phases wear you thin Same old world that you've been sleeping in And I hope it never spends you up Green eyes, what could ever be enough?

The only thing in my closet is my extensive wardrobe, some of which I stole from Mickey but whatever I wear at least half her clothes better anyway. So, yes, obviously I'm gay but whatever, it's 2020 and while there's nothing wrong with being straight it does mean you've got a higher likelihood of being fucking boring, and not just boring but like booooooooring. Get with the times, babes, kiss your homies and don't say no homo this time. Anyway, yes I can be catty, yes I love gossip, no I don't care that some see me as little more than an accessory - the little G.B.F. that you can show off to all your friends, whatever, I made my bed and I'm going to lay in it - preferably with someone who makes me say daddy and actually mean it for a change. I'm limber and agile and I'm good with my hands. Take that to mean what you want it to mean." "I'm comfortable in myself and I know I make some uncomfortable but that says more about them than it does me. I value loyalty but at the same time I live for gossip but that just means I won't go blab a secret if someone gives one to me but if you say it loud enough for a group to hear then I'm sorry but that's fair game. I can be a bit of a slut but that doesn't make me easy, it just means I don't really do relationships, I'm just enjoying myself without any of the strings or anything holding me back. Of course I can be a bit of a bitch and super...judgey and superficial but, like, I'm sorry if I see someone walk out of the house with sweat pants and a shirt that's at least four days worn and unwashed I'm going to call them a slob but if I see someone overweight at the gym I'm going to say good for them and wish them well. That's just how it goes. One day I'm going to be a stylist to the stars but for now I'm a stylist to my friends and class mates and you can follow me on Insta please and thank you."

[/indent] [center][color=DD25B1]____________________________________________________________[/color][/center] [indent][color=DD25B1]►[/color] [i][b]Brief history:[/b][/i] [indent]Andi was in a weird place within his family because of that silly little thing called generational expectations. As the child of a family who is quite proud of their success as Chinese immigrants, Andi had a lot of pressure from a far too young age. His father inherited the family business, a fairly successful advertising and marketing firm that essentially sold bullshit 'Chinese herbal remedies' to dumb white families who couldn't tell the difference between China, Japan, and Korea if you asked them which one Tokyo was in. His mother, truly living up to her potential, worked at a fairly upscale clothing store. Andi, being the only son of the family, was expected to follow in the footsteps and go to school for business and be groomed for taking over the company. And then Andi's dad walked in on a twelve year old Andi kissing a boy from school. No rod was spared that night. What was excused as 'dumb playing' as a kid became a heated confrontation when a year and a half later Andi had the talk with his family and was again given a rather hurtful punishment in response. He was still expected to be 'normal' and follow the plan of his family. At age 14, when Andi showed no signs of being 'normal', in a fit of rage during a heated argument, Andi's father told him to get out of his house, only much harsher language was used. Fortunately, Andi had a savior in the form of a friend named Michaela, aka Mickey, who immediately opened her doors to him. The two were already friends, but they became room mates and best friends damn near overnight. Andi had saved his allowance over the years and had the good sense to know the PIN for his dad's banking account and was able to make a withdrawal that Andi said was a "new life" fund. Since then, Andi has done part time work at a beauty salon near Mickey's home; he has every intention of one day opening his own salon because if there's one thing he's passionate about it's his love of hair and making people feel beautiful and confident because of it. He may never see his family again but as soon as he turns eighteen he's legally changing his name anyway so good riddance to them. Mickey is his family now.[/indent][/indent] [center][color=DD25B1]____________________________________________________________[/color][/center] [center]♫ [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7Fm4JOEOq8][color=DD25B1][i]When you're walkin' down the street And a man tries to get your business And the people that you meet Want to open you up like Christmas You gotta wrap your fuzzy with a big red bow Ain't no sum bitch gonna treat me like a ho I'm a classy honey kissy huggy lovey dovey ghetto princess[/i][/color][/url] ♫[/center] [indent][color=DD25B1]►[/color] [i][b]Extra information:[/b][/i] [indent]HAs a bad habit of falling for the worst guys, but he's young and basically going into overdrive with his sexuality and experiences as one does in their youth.
