[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Jasper hails from the West Coast, born and raised in a beautiful, if boring, city called St. Portwell.  While his early years were filled with strife, it quickly shifted courses when he met his now fiance Nico.  The two were planning on building a perfect, quaint life together after they graduated high school.  Julian went to the local university for art and was quickly building a following when a cataclysmic event happened.  He moved out to Cloverfield following it and has been working to build that life here.

Art is everywhere for Julian, and he often travels with a satchel that he uses to store a writing journal, painting supplies, or an art book.  He tries and spends as much time with his fiance as he can, knowing full well that his disabilities make it hard for him.  Julian makes it a point to travel to new places, try new food, and experience new things every week with Nico.  As of now, his artwork is not paying the bills completely but he has been able to keep things afloat thus far.

[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Born in the wonderful city of St. Portwell, Oregon, Nico moved to Cloverfield with his fiancé, Julian Wilde just over a year ago. Thanks to this they managed to avoid the Cataclysm itself- but saw the after effects. A talented wood carver, Nico lives a relatively simple life in the South Side. A low paying job in a grocery store in the North Side, and a cheap apartment together in one of the worst parts of town. It's not much, but for him it's enough.

Nico is someone who tries to see the light in the darkness. With this comes a friendliness that draws people over to him. At five-three, he’s short and unassuming. Scrawny, in a way, but it's easy to feel at ease around him. But he must have a killer skin regime, with skin so smooth it’s like he’s never been hurt. There’s nothing threatening about him- and Nico doesn’t want there to be. He’s trying his best to make his way around a broken city, attempting to forge connections with untrusting people. For now it’s mainly just him and Julian, and a few people from an art collective they formed… but that’s something he’d like to change. At least, he’d like to make some more friends.

He’s chronically ill, but manages to live around this as best as he can.

[b]26 | Dominika ‘Domi’ Tien Zielinski | She/Her [/b][hr][i]"If only the world could be preserved like a photograph."[/i][/center][/cell][cell]
[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Originally born in Poland to a Polish father and Vietnamese mother, Dominika ended up in St Portwell, Oregon with her family in her early teens. It was here that her love for photography bloomed, giving her a way to connect with people and a support when her life grew much worse. Then, it was a second income on top of the menial jobs that barely kept them afloat through university.

Domi moved to Cloverfield just recently, in the hopes of making a better future. Of course, the South Side of Cloverfield isn’t exactly what dreams are made of… but it’s much cheaper to stay in. She’s never found without one of her many cameras in her hand. Domi stands at five-two, with dark wavy hair and light brown skin. She tends to dress casually, and her face is normally hid behind the lens.

[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]A drifter, Ash has only recently settled down in Cloverfield. Their life has been difficult and solitary. This is part of their fuel as an artist. Art is everything to them- the only good thing to come from their struggles, and the one thing that helps them with it. Ash is rarely found without a sketchbook, always sketching down their new ideas. While charcoal is their preferred medium, they’ve been able to expand into painting in the past few years. 

Part of a small art collective in the city, Ash is still a rather quiet and introverted person. But with those they know, their biting wit comes through. They care about those that manage to get through their walls- which is very few people. There’s very little they wouldn’t do for these people. Ash is taller at five-ten, with darker skin and dyed green dreadlocks. Their face is covered in piercings while their fashion varies from alternative and gothic to whatever cleans clothes they have around.

[b]28 | Johnny Thunder | He/Him [/b][hr][i]"You art nerds are incredibile.  Yet my music still brings in the most money."[/i][/center][/cell][cell]
[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Johnny is a St. Portwell native who grew up in a performance mindset.  Both of his parents were devout Christians, and both were talented performers in their own right.  His father was an orchestra player, and his mother was a music teacher.  As such, he was held to a high standard morally and musically ever since he first picked up a recorder and could think conscious thoughts.  During his teenage years, he began to rebel against his strict parents, and often this was through his music.  Where they wanted this perfect student of the craft, Johnny loved the harsh nature of rock and roll and metal.  Things came to a head in his sixteenth year and he left his family behind and formed his first band, convinced he would make it big.

Seven years later, he met the founder of the Art Collective he now calls home Julian.  His sister had brought him to one of his shows, with the fifth band he founded, and after the show, the three shared a few rounds of drinks.  Julian told him of this better future, and this drew Johnny in.  After a few more meetups, Johnny joined the group and followed them to Cloverfield to pursue a new future.

[b]24 | Alice Smith | She/Her [/b][hr][i]"I don’t know, I think it needs something."[/i][/center][/cell][cell]
[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Born to a poor fishing family, Alice was a surprise child to a couple who married to avoid shame in their family.  She did not know much stability, and she was expected to help out on the boat as soon as it was safe for her to do so.  She learned many wonderful skills from this work, but most importantly, her eye for her art.  Even as a kid, there was a certain haunted quality to her art work that spoke to the strange sights she saw at sea.  She won numerous awards through schooling, and eventually continued this pursuit of art when she moved to New York for college.  It was here that she discovered her disdain for academic elitism and failed out after a couple of years.

Back in St. Portwell, she reconnected with childhood friend Julian and Nico.  She became one of the founding members of the collective they would later go on to found, and was an integral part of getting Johnny in as a member first.  The two started dating a few months after that and have been inseparable ever since.  She followed the troop to the East Coast and is excited about the changes they can bring to this area.

[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Art’s past is shrouded in mystery.  While it is genuinely understood that they were born, when or where is as much a mystery to their close friends as it is to a stranger.  They don’t talk much about their childhood outside of a pet dog they often reference, and most get the impression that something rather traumatic happened at a young age.  To their friends, they simply appeared in a classroom at St. Portwell Highschool in Oregon one day and was a shadow at the back of every room they occupied.  People assumed they had a home yet no one ever saw them leave the school, nor arrive in the morning.  It was as if they simply appeared there each day.  In truth, Art simply used their abstraction as soon as they learned control over it.  It was easier for them to simply appear in class than to risk harassment on the bus or the streets.  They made only two friends in school, Nico and Julian, and they latched onto the two like a lost puppy on the street.  They have followed them wherever they went ever since, and have been a constant friend who 

Art has had a glowup since highschool.  They learned makeup and learned a love for cosmetology.  They obtained their liscneces right after highschool and began working in that field every since.  Eventually, when the collective opened its doors, Art joined the crew and began to create costumes, wigs, and began to sell them through their locations.  They followed the crew when it moved to Cloverfield.
