"There are all kind of addicts, I guess. We all have pain. And we all look for ways to make the pain go away."
-Sherman Alexie

Name:Archer Tyler Longfellow

Nickname: Archie, AT-AT

Date of Birth: June 23rd, 1989

Age: 27

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Relationship Status: Single

Sexually Active: Yes

Occupation: Public Information Officer at the United Nations Headquarters.

Room Number: TBD

In Depth Appearance:
Archer is a gangly 6’4”, with very dirty blonde hair with blue eyes. He likes to keep his hair short since it makes it easier to style and he has a bad habit of forgetting to shave for days at a time which usually leads to a decent amount of stubble on his face. He is always a constant 150 pounds which is probably due to his constant amount of running.

He always has at least one suit available at all times due to the likelihood that he will get called into work at any time to work on an important press release. His favorite one though is a gray suit he got from his grandfather before he passed away. Anytime he has a chance to get out of a suit he takes that opportunity. His favorite is any t-shirt he can possibly find with gym shorts. They grant him a freedom that suits never could.

Habbits/Oddities/Quirks:
Archer runs like no tomorrow. His job creates a lot of stress for him and he finds it is the best way for him to release the stress. The other way he is able to release his stress is by smoking. His intake fluctuates between a couple cigarettes a day on a stress free day to a whole pack over the course of a work day.

Archer flips his pen whenever he thinks or is sitting still for too long. His skills in this ability would be Olympic level if there was such an event. He has a major Jekyll and Hyde complex. Anything that involves his work causes Archer to have a completely anal personality. He takes his personal life a lot less seriously and it usually causes him to forget important things, such as eating, cleaning, and even his own birthday.

Hobbies

• Running
• Watching the news
• Traveling
• Eating

Secrets:
He used to be totally addicted to opiates back when he was in college and he was only able to wean himself off one addiction by replacing it with another. He smokes because he fears if he stops it will lead him back down that dark road.

He is currently working on a press release that United Nation peacekeepers have opened fire in South Sudan and it might lead to direct military intervention by world powers.

Likes:

• Running
• A good smoke

• Star Wars
• Writing an awesome press release
• Sunny days
• Public Speaking

Dislikes:

• Suits
• Drugs
• Talking politics with friends
• Thunderstorms
• Stubborn people
• Starbucks
• Sushi

Fears:

• Falling back into his addiction
• His career stagnating and he never moves up past his current position.

Personality:

Positive Traits:
Whenever he is tasked with a job to get done he tackles it head on, but not without a thinking of a plan that is the most efficient or effective. His industriousness is what caused him to move up quickly through the ranks and it has won him praise throughout the United Nations. Even with these high praises, he stays humble due to the fact he knew how low he could get. He does not allow praise to get to his head. His humbleness allows him to see situations more clear since his actions will not be determined by how others will praise or see him.

Negative Traits:
A positive can also be a negative, his ability to focus on a certain job will lead to blinders that block out other parts of his life. This tunnel vision will usually lead to Archer forgetting important things about his personal life. This makes having a stable relationship difficult, since he will accidently forget dates or get called into work at odd times. Another flaw in Archer’s ability to have a stable relationship is the fact that he can be lustful. He doesn’t mean to fall into the same trap over and over again, but he finds that he can’t say no. His sister always tells him that the right girl will settle him down, but he doesn’t know if that’s true.

Place of Origin:
Missoula, Montana

History:

Archer was born to a family of ranchers based in Missoula. This made his family one of the most prominent in the city. He has an older brother, Castor, and an older sister, Irene. That meant his older brother was most likely to inherit Longfellow Ranch, and his older brother was always more inclined towards that kind of life. They are now the same height, but his brother has a solid 80 pounds on Archer. Archer needed to find out what he wanted to do with his life and he found it during high school.

Archer ended up being a natural in Model United Nations and he fell in love with the whole process over the course of his high school years. He figured since being an actual representative was harder to obtain, he would focus on actually work for the United Nations. He was also the editor of his schools newspaper, so he decided to combine his two loves by setting his aim on the Public Information Office within the United Nation Public Information Office. He worked hard and even graduated a year early to make his dreams come true.

He went to Northwestern University to study Journalism. What his college friends didn’t know during these years was his massive addiction to opiates that he got through a friend. His life was mostly a blur whenever he wasn’t in class, but he was still able to focus on his classwork it needed to be done. He was naturally gifted, so he always felt that no matter what he would get everything done. Unfortunately he did throughout his college career, but when he went home for the summer between his junior and senior year he got high on codeine instead of looking after the horses which caused them to escape. A storm struck, many of the horses died and it almost caused his family to lose their ranch. He realized he needed help, so he went to his family and they were there to support him.

He was able to graduate Magna Cum Laude and he moved on to a Masters in Communications at Northwestern University. He also minored in Mandarin and Arabic, on top of the Spanish he took in high school to try and boost his chances of getting hired. This caused Archer to be in large amounts of debt, so he has been forced to live a frugal life.

He started out as a Principal Public Information Officer, so he was forced to work in the field all around the world. He has been to every continent (except Antarctica) and has been forced to sleep on the ground in tents in order to report to his higher ups. This caused him to get use to traveling with the press corps and rooming with people around his age.

He was finally promoted to an officer position at an office and he was lucky enough to be moved to the actual Headquarters. When he heard about Time Square Apartments he realized that it would be the perfect place to live. Especially since it was cheap so he could save up to pay off his student debts and also to pay for his travels around the world. It would also give him an opportunity to meet new people and experience city living that he hasn’t experienced since his college years.

Misc.:
He is fluent in English, Spanish, Arabic, and Mandarin.
He has always had the dream of moving to New York City, and he thinks this will be the most amazing experience ever.

-Mandy Hale

---

Name;
Theresa Rosine Sparks

Nickname;
'Tessa' - she prefers if everyone calls her this as she sees her full name as being too formal.
'Tess'- her closer friends will call her this, but less so than her other nickname.

Date of Birth;
8th February, 1996

Age;
20 years old

Gender;
Female

Sexuality;
Pansexual

Relationship Status;
Single

Sexually Active;
Not really, most people aren't interested enough in her

Occupation;
Hotel Maid

Room Number;

In Depth Appearance;
Standing at only 5"1, Tessa has a petite, dancer's body. Her thick mahogany locks fall down to her mid-back is loose waves in which are found to be pretty much untameable in the early hours of the morning. Her angelic features include wide, chocolate-brown eyes framed by dark lashes, a dusting of freckles across the bridge of her nose, and full pink lips hiding her pearly white teeth. Her clothing usually consists of pastel-coloured summery dresses and tops that flaunt her ballerina's physique; and she wears next to no makeup excluding special occasions. Tess tends to stay away from high heels, thanks to her clumsiness, so likes to wear ballet pumps or Converse.

Habits | Oddities | Quirks;
Daydreaming; Tessa is seemingly always in a world of her own, she'll often zone out of conversations and people often view her as being too distracted to manage.
Labelled as mute; making her voice heard is not something that Tessa is used to. She just doesn't talk. No one really knows the reason for it, but she is perfectly comfortable staying quiet most of the time.
Nail biting; a nervous trait she has picked up over time, her hands are often bloody and her fingernails torn and jagged.

Hobbies;
Dancing; this girl is truly passionate when it comes to her dancing. It is when she is dancing that she is most comfortable, more smiley and clearly more open with others.
Hairstyling; Tessa's long hair is rarely seen is being in a plain ponytail or simply left down, there's almost always a nice-looking twist or braid in there somewhere
Cleaning; being a hotel maid, Tessa likes everything to be spic and span. She takes pride in cleanliness, which is why the state of her nails is such a shock to most people.

Secrets;
- She keeps a diary, expressing whatever she cannot vocally onto the pages of an old red leather book.
- Is a virgin, although nobody has ever thought to ask, she still sees it as being quite an embarassing aspect of herself.

Likes;
- Dancing, especially ballet
- Flowers in her hair
- Long names
- Disney movies
- Solitude
- sunshine
- Her job

Dislikes;
- Being so quiet
- Heavy music
- Her nails
- Romance
- Scarlett Johansen
- The dark
- Smell of cut grass (hayfever)

Fears;
Public Humiliation, especially if it involves her appearance.
Betrayal, very much due to her parents' relationship.
Personality;
Amicable - Tessa will do whatever she can to keep the peace. She despises any sort of conflict, resulting in her putting other's happiness before her own. She is never truly comfortable unless everyone else is at ease around her and she makes it her priority to put a smile on their faces. In this way she is very selfless, almost to the point of being destructively so, but selfless nonetheless.

Innocent- Tessa has a purity to her that is very much rarely found these days. Her vulnerable mental and physical state is something that brings out the protectiveness in most people, as well as tempting out the goodness in others. Her happiness is so remarkable that one smile could be enough to brighten a day, and her sadness enough to make anyone feel helpless. Because of this innocence to her, she feels things much more powerfully than what is seen as normal, which is mostly the cause of her need for others to be content.

Enigmatic - Because of her lack of words, most find Tessa's mystery to be infuriating. Her silence leads a lot of people to view her as a stranger, someone always on the outside of things. Few even just regard her as an object rather than an actual person, perhaps ignoring her completely or underestimating how smart she actually can be.

Naïve - Her innocence often does lead to her vulnerability when it comes to trust. Tessa tries very hard to find the good in everyone, even if it is not necessarily there. She can be tricked easily in that sense, and, seeing as she does experience heightened emotions, the effects of her being conned or mislead could have a great toll on her emotional state. She is very much like a precious crystal glass; she is extremely valuable, yet once she has been broken, it is near impossible to return her back to the way she was before.

Place of Origin;
London, England

History;
Tessa was born into a rich family and, being an only child, was given everything she wanted. In her early childhood years, it was clear to see that she was a spoilt brat. In nursery, if she was not happy, she would hold her breath until something was done about it. She would frequently be ill after suffering fainting spells because of this habit. Her bratty behaviour and infuriating attitude got her kicked out of many schools across London until it got to the point in which her parent had had enough and off to boarding school she went.

In this new school she was harshly disciplined and a completely changed girl emerged six months later. This new start, however, could not change the fact that Tessa's parents were struggling. During her second summer break when she was fourteen years old, Tessa walked in on her father screwing another woman. It had been the last straw for her mother, so they packed up and left to stay with relatives in New York.

The events that had unfolded and the mess that was now her life took a huge toll on Tessa. She lapsed into becoming 'selectively mute', as diagnosed by a counsellor. As soon as she reached the age of eighteen, her mother told her to leave. The excuse was that she 'looked too much like her father', with her large brown eyes and fair skin.

Not many landlords were interested in housing a 'psychologically damaged' girl such as herself, at least, not until she met Mister Black. He set her up with an apartment without much fuss and she now has been settled in for just over a year.

Misc.;
- In case you don't already know, Tessa is selectively mute.
- My favourite place to visit is by far Disneyland.

@Filthy Mudblood

Aw. A mute character? I could never play one but anyways, I cannot wait to see her ICly.

Accepted. Great job.

@HushedWhispers I hope it's okay, I wanted to try something new with CS's.

[♕] Relationship Status

_{Single She is interested in a couple but she doesn't feel ready for any romantic relations.}

[♕]Sexually Active

_{Nah Even though she's a bit flirtatious and open, she's still a virgin. Only times she kisses anyone is if it's in the script for her musicals.}

[♕]Occupation

_{She is an actress in musicals and a part-time singer in cafes.}

[♕]Room Number

_{"What is my room number again?"}

[♕] In Depth Appearance

<sub>Zahra is a chocolate brown complexion lady strutting around with only a height of 5'2. Her height doesn't make her feel discouraged, possessing a hourglass frame overcomes her disadvantage in the height department. Weighing more on the lower half of her body, inheriting her mother's wide hips, thick thighs, and perky bum. (almost) Having daily exercises her thighs are toned and defined, which she shows off occasionally by wearing shorts or small skirts. If she is wearing any top that shows her stomach, her mediocre set of abs can be seen. Working out and boxing help greatly in her stomach but her substantial love for sweets and food in general effects her torso. Moving further up to her slender, oval-shaped head shape, displaying her as elegant and fierce. Her face is almost oddly symmetrical, playful yet stunning dark brown eyes sparkle with anticipation and confidence. At a resting face her mouth is small and plump but can stretch into a smile that just radiates joyfulness.

She has one ear piercing on each ear lobe, her fear of needles drives her away from getting any other piercings or tattoos. She still finds them attractive and stylish if they're not excessive.</sub>

[♕] Habits - Quirks - Oddities

_{✮Zahra can never stay still, unless she has to. If she's waiting for someone, standing in line, or even chatting with someone she will start to move her fingers or even start dancing slightly. If she is acting and she is told to stand she will try her best not to start bobbing her head.
✮When in deep thought she will start to hum a tune, either from a song or just something that comes to mind. Usually it's very quiet, but she may get too into it and augment her volume.
✮When she forgets something she usually just goes along with it making up things as she goes. But if the person starts to catch on she will start laughing.
✮ Her giggles are very child-like, maybe even sounding like a baby's laugh. But when she just can't hold it in she will burst out laughing causing herself to tear up, her laugh is very contagious.}

[♕] Hobbies

_{✮Going to the club. It should be obvious why this is her hobby, she loves the music, dancing, singing and just acting goofy without a care in a world.
✮Volunteering at shelters, elderly homes, etc. Her love for helping people is a huge part in her life. She tries to volunteer anywhere in the area every other week.
✮Adventure. Loving the outdoors, witnessing new things, traveling to different places, seeing new people and cultures. She loves everything about it. She feels suffocated and bored easily so it's best for her to get out and do something new.
✮Boxing. She has had this hobby since a young age, defense lessons and such. But found it enjoyable and stuck with it, it comes in handy when someone gets a bit too touchy or she's feeling heroic.}

[♕] Secrets

_{☹She's very insecure about her southern accent. Her voice heard by others is just a cover up that she's really good at.
☹She has played male characters in plays just for the fun of it but she actually really enjoys it. Sometimes she goes out in public dressed as a boy or in boyish clothing. But because of her curves it's hard for her to pull it off.}

[♕] Likes

_{✓Her supporters, she will never stop talking about them to her friends and how much they mean to her. They're the only reason she can pay rent and support herself.
✓Animals. She loves all animals and is trying to shift herself into a vegetarian lifestyle. She's slowly getting there.
✓Summer. The heat, bugs, clothing lines and everything else that just screams summer. Growing up in the South she's used to all of the negatives of summertime, she still loves everything about it.
✓Sweets, candies and foods.
✓Music, more specific Funk, Pop, Disco, anything that will get her body moving.
✓Action packed movies. If they're also comedies she is a very happy camper.
✓Cartoons. She finds them very entertaining especially if it has a nice art style and good script writing.}

[♕] Dislikes

_{✗Other actors/actresses that feel like they're God-like and don't understand that they're being a huge cunt.
✗Jokes on her height.
✗When someone messes with her hair.
✗During a musical she hates it when someone keeps messing up their their lines. She knows everyone has their mistakes but if you keep screwing up more then five times it's just annoying.
✗People telling her that going vegetarian is a dumb idea and basically pressuring her to eat foods that she refuses to eat.
✗Pessimistic people. They just mess up her groove.
✗Being told what to do. Unless it's for her occupations then she's perfectly fine with taking orders.}

[♕] Fears

_{☹Needles.
☹Losing her positivity and only thinking about the worse, resulting in her being too depressed to work.
☹No one being there to support her.}

[♕] Personality

Positive Traits

_{The life of any room she enters, her simple "Hello everyone!" can brighten up anyone's day. Always happy and energetic, ready to get things done and then do something to occupy herself. It's as if she doesn't have a relax button or a turn off switch. Her sociable nature is a great trait in parties and even auditions, making conversations with the other actors and even the one's who determine who gets the role. If she doesn't know you and just notices you're down in the dumps, she will try her very best to cheer you up and encourage you to keep going. Her motivational speeches and warm hugs are her specialty. People feel comfortable around her and they know they can always go to her to speak their mind. She shows confidence in herself and her skills, even around professionals she shows that she's not insecure, making her stance, speech, and appearance show she means business. Zay is not afraid to speak out and say when something is out of whack, or if she just doesn't like something.}

Negative Traits

_{She doesn't like depending on others to fix her problems or when she's in a tough spot. Figuring out her own solutions makes her feel empowered, but if she can't solve it she'll give up in defeat and stay in a grumpy mood for the rest of the day. Though Zay is confident and independent if no one is there to reassure her and tell her she got this, she will crumble and be distressed. Support is a huge aspect in Zahra's life. Her excessive talking and complaints can be annoying. Other personality traits that are irritating to most is how childish and naive she is, when she's playing games and playing hide & seek it can be very distracting and unprofessional. Also being naive she doesn't know when she's in danger or when she's being too open, like when she strolls around at night by herself or chatting with a stranger at a bar.}

[♕] Place Of Origin

_{Nashville, Tennessee. Moved to Atlanta, Georgia.}

[♕] History

<sub>Zahra was born in a tiny hut of a home in the ghettos of Nashville, Tennessee. Both of her parents had older siblings at young ages, her mother being twenty one and her father twenty three. They couldn't afford raising children but couldn't put them up for adoption. Michael only performed in local cafes and diners, which gave him low pay for ridiculous hours. Natasha stayed at home and auditioned for acting gigs in the area but couldn't win a single part. Then they had Zahra, a beautiful baby born at the worst of times. Her father took all responsibility of conceiving her, so he said to the public. Zahra doesn't remember anything from this time, but her mother confessed later that before her father walked out he would beat Natasha and verbally abuse her. He even beat on Sophie and Daniel, telling them they they should've never been born and they're just more mouths to feed.

Sadly, once he walked out and her mother tried to put him into jail, no one believed her. Her bruises and scars meant nothing except she was clumsy and an air-head. Word started to spread about the family and how they wanted to ruin the career of an aspiring musician, just because the mother is a gold digging sly whore. They moved out of the state and began living with their aunt and cousins in Atlanta, Georgia. Zahra grew up ignorant about her father, she was still a happy child who had interest in everything and anything about theater and music. She joined theater club and chorus throughout her public school years, always striving to be the center of attention. Her mother ventured off in her acting career and met the true love of her life, Alexander Boulevard. He is a great step-father to the children and raised them up as if they were his own.

In middle school Zahra joined a dance and step team, her love for dancing started to manifest. Her family moved out of their family member's apartment complex and bought a beautiful house in a remote and friendly neighborhood. Everyone was happy, everyone felt secure and safe. Moving onto high school Zahra was extremely popular because of her few talents, her mother being an actress, and her step-father being a movie director. But people started to become jealous and began to leave her side, giving her no support and only hate filled comments. She became depressed and told no one about her embarrassing scenarios at school, this lasted for a couple of months. Then a day she will never let escape her mind, a sunny, warm day during the spring time. It was the day of Zahra's singing performance and when she just started to sing. Then a group of seniors made a row in front of the stage, water guns crossed over their chest's. They yelled "Fire!" and streams of syrup, vinegar and water gushed onto Zahra. She ran home crying, no, bawling her eyes out as she searched for her parents to speak to. After finding them she spat and stuttered about what happened and they were infuriated. Calling the school and telling them this outrageous stunt, the students were expelled.

Natasha told Zahra that she is a talented, gorgeous, remarkable young woman and those students were just bullies who wished they were the same. She told her about her father and what he did to the family, but it didn't stop her from finding a career. Her step-father even joined in telling her these obstacles are nothing but...obstacles that you need to leap over. Zay's whole mind set changed, she could see all her opportunities and continued to do what she loved. She ended high school with a huge reputation for her positive vibes and exceptional talents. She left Georgia for New York to pursue her acting and singing career, while still taking her classes. It was extremely rough at first, but then her covers at cafes and auditions got her through rough parts. After being homeless and sleeping in a cafe for the longest, she rented her first apartment.

It was exciting and exhilarating. And she gets to have a roommate? Can it get any better!?</sub>

In Depth Appearance#9e5f5f
Atsuko has always been a petit girl ever since she was young. she stands at five foot four inches, and weighs a good one hundred and twenty pounds. if it had not been for her constant dancing and playing sports when she was much younger, then she may have been a little chubby. however, she has managed to maintain her slim and toned build.

currently, Atsuko's hair is 14 inches long and drops to just below her shoulder blades in a mix of soft curls and waves. after previously experimenting and dying her hair, she prefers to keep it black as she has such a fair complexion. she either styles it in a low ponytails or keeps it out, depending on her mood.

like many other japanese, Atsuko has the typical, dark brown eyes. the lightest her eyes will ever be is in the sun, though she doesn't think much about the colour as it's boring. she's always envied those with hazel eyes. her lips, however, are naturally a dark pink/red colour and tend to stand out more usual.

Atsuko does not have either any tattoos or piercings, other than the two in her ears - which she tends to accessorise with cute earrings. her usual clothing attire consists of mainly light colors such as baby blue, white, pink and light red. she tends to wear cute outfits, also depending on her mood if she feels like it.​

Habits | Oddities | Quirks;

• Tends to bite my lips or chew on something, when I'm lost in thought
• Rocking back and forth. I'm not always aware that I'm doing it, it's just a tic. Sometimes it's kind of soothing.
• Whistle/Hum interchangeably when amused by something vague/trivial
• Either not looking at a person when I am talking/listening or staring them down as I am doing so.
• Usually can't remember people names, but remembers their faces so usually gives them nicknames

Hobbies:

• Reading books from the library and leaving notes in the books for others
• Traveling around the city to try different places to eat
• She is a night owl, so she love to party
• Dancing

Secrets:

• She likes to bake things and leave them in her neighbors mailbox for them to enjoy. She doesn't sign her name though or leave anything that could be said that she made them. She doesn't know if they really eat it, but if they do she hopes they enjoy it.
• She likes to pretend that she nothing more than a cafe server. But the truth is the cafe she works at was given to her by her grandparents as a congratulations on graduating college gift. She owns and runs it, but she has family friend who pretends to be the person in charge. the other employees just think she has worked there a long time, that is why she knows the cafe so well. Not that she was essential to bring the creation of the cafe

Likes:

• Loud music
• Chaotic spaces
• Baking
• Her friends
• Being creative
• Dancing
• All things spicy

Dislikes:

• Guys who don't text or call the next day
• Early mornings when she hasn't slept at all
• People who bully others
• Wasting food
• Drinks with long names
• Horror movies, Which is odd because she likes horror tv shows
• Stick-in-the-muds

Fears:

• Astraphobia – The fear of thunder/lightning AKA Brontophobia, Tonitrophobia, Ceraunophobia.
• Living a boring life
• Never finding someone who truly loves her

Personality:
Atsuko is a smart, care-free and down to earth girl. she has a soft and warm exterior. however, she can can be very friendly or snarky when she chooses to, but usually that depends on what mood she's in. she can be very closed up at times as she tries her best to not let anyone besides her best friends get close to her to keep herself from getting hurt emotionally and physically. at times she has this energy inside her that oftentimes thrusts her into the spotlight - but that isn't always where she wants to be; she would rather prefer to stay low-key.

luckily, Atsuko knows how to relax, and is perfectly capable of switching from a passionate, driven idealist to that imaginative and enthusiastic free spirit on the dance floor, often with a suddenness that can surprise even her closest friends. being in the mix also gives her a chance to connect emotionally with others as she believes everyone should take time to recognize and express their feelings. however, she needs to be quite cautious. if she relies too much on her intuition, assume, or anticipate too much about a friend's thoughts, she can misread the signals and frustrate plans that a more straightforward approach would have made simple.

but everyone also has their bad side. when in an emotional wreck, Atsuko can become very reckless; not considering anyone's thoughts and feelings. the first thing on her mind will be spoken, no matter how bad it is. once she's let it all out, she'll resort to blocking herself from everyone and reality. give her a couple days and she'll be back to normal.​

Place of Origin:
Urawa, Japan

History:
Atsuko Mari Hartley was born in Urawa, Japan on the twenty-sixth of March to a lovely young couple, Minami Watanabe and Leonard Hartley. They had met, when her father Leonard Hartley came to Japan to study japanese cuisine and hard started working at her mother Minami Watanabe's family restaurant, They soon fell in love with each other and married. They took over Minami's family restaurant and worked hard to raise money for their small family. Though as Atsuko grew up, she stayed with her mother's parents most of time due to her parents being too busy running the restaurant to earn money; they looked after her well and treated her as if she was their daughter too. however, at the age of nine years old, they both passed away due to a random attack from a stranger in the middle of the streets. the two had simply refused to give up their special belongings which led to their death. till now, the murderer has not yet been caught, and the case has been dropped. it caused a great burden on the whole of the Hartley family.

after the loss of Atsuko’s grandparents, things became a lot more difficult for her parents; she rarely attended school and helped out in the restaurant instead. because of this, she lacked incredibly with her studies though managed to skate-through quickly. but it didn't help much that her grades were low and she herself wasn't as intelligent as her parents had thought. it shocked her father the most as he had wanted her to grow up with perfect grades in order for her to be successful. so, he decided that it would be best to move to the family. packed up their bags and the three of them left for america.

As soon as Atsuko and her family moved to New York City, They moved in with her father's parents and she attended private high school. Her lack of studying from the previous school had caused her a lot of struggle with her classes and now it seems like she rarely puts in any form of effort to achieve high. With encouragement from her parents and grandparents, She worked hard to catch up in school and graduate with high marks. After she graduated high school, She became more independent from her parents. Sure, she would go to her parents and grandparents every once and while if she needed anything she couldn't get herself. But usually, She could afford anything she needed from working in a cafe close to the apartment where she lived.

I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die."

I N D E P T H A P P E A R A N C E:

Bora is an Asian girl of average height, being five foot five and weighing a healthy 123. 4 pounds. She is of Korean descent, both of her parents having been born in South Korea. The teenager prefers to keep her hair long and of a darker shade, though she will lighten her hair time to time with a dash of dyed red, and is overly concerned with her personal hygiene. Before she goes to breakfast or goes to bed, Bora performs a regiment skin care ritual on her face in order to keep it clear and soft and places protective hair products in her strands to keep it silky and shiny. When Bora was fifteen, she was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) which affects her body weight and menstrual cycle. As such, Bora can only have a small amount of sugar a day and tends to obsess over the amount of calories she intakes.

When it comes to her physical appearance, Bora treats her fashion choices with care and dons only designer brand clothes. She prefers to wear lace and cotton when it comes to her clothes and she has a predilection for dresses. Her personal style could be described as a sophisticated preppy fashion style with her trendy, simple dresses or high-waisted skirts. Bora likes jewel or peter pan necklines over any other neckline and downright refuses to wear a sweetheart neckline. Bora is careful to balance her expensive clothes with only a light amount of jewelry, usually simple earrings - her favorite are her pearl earrings - and a silver necklace with one ring on her finger. Her nails are always perfectly manicured with French tips and her makeup is more natural and light than heavy or gaudy. Bora's hair is almost always down, with the occasional bun or braid here and there. The only time she will be caught dead with a ponytail is if she is working out or sleeping. Bora loves silk and as such will only wear silk pajamas and undergarments.

P E R S O N A L I T Y:

Many claim they hate Bora, even though they don’t know her. When asked why, they provide the typical answers: arrogant, spoiled, shallow, stupid. Some of these traits are important pieces of Bora’s personality, but a great deal of them aren’t.

Negative Traits -

There’s no point in lying and saying that Bora is not shallow – when it comes to material items, Bora is as shallow as they come. She has an inner need for things to look visually perfect: pristine clothes, silky hair, organized pencils. Money helps her buy items that make her world visually perfect: Gucci, Prada, Versace. Bora wants to look, and feel, her best and so she has a tendency to see others that don’t look their best as a) insecure, b) lazy, or c) clueless – but never ugly. Furthermore, it is not much of a stretch to say that Bora is spoiled. At a certain point, she stopped asking her parents for something and just got it with her credit card. Worse still, Bora is the type of girl that when she wants something, she will get it and she is thoughtless in that she never thinks of how her ambitious and indulging will affect her later on or others. As such, people see her as careless and childish rather than the sophisticated, careful woman she emulates to be. Her playful nature and emotional outbursts furthers others' opinion of her as immature and juvenile. Adding to her shallow and superficial image, Bora is hot-tempered and, when she believes she is wronged, will hold lifelong grudges, even if it is over something completely petty.

Positive Traits -

However, Bora is not without her virtues. She possesses a light character, playful and with an odd and soft sense of humor that is oddly endearing to others. When she begins something, Bora throws her whole self into it, showing an admirable dedication to her endeavors. She, overall, is devoted to truth and justice and the pursuit of intelligence. She is very hard-working and friendly, with an ambitious arm reaching for anything she can get her hands on. Bora is friendly and always tries to include everybody; she also retains a refreshing, liberal open mind that leads her to fighting for what she believes is right in the world. Plus, Bora is rather smart and studious, enjoying learning about the world and sees schooling as fun rather than a prison - though she hates homework and tests with a passion.

When it comes to herself, Bora is a rather private person and prefers to keep her thoughts unknown. She doesn’t like being an open book, it makes her feel rather exposed, and so she tends to keep her feelings to herself. However, Bora has no problem expressing her confidence. She understands she is pretty and is secure in her appearance and intelligence – she doesn’t take other people’s words to heart and though she will react negatively to insults, it won’t affect her in the long run. Overall, Bora is an optimistic girl that, in some ways exactly as how people think, but in others completely different.

P L A C E O F O R I G I N:

Las Vegas, Nevada.

F A M I L Y:

The Park Family is an influential family located in Nevada near Las Vegas. They made their fortune through inheritance as well as the family patriarch's successful conglomerate corporation. They live a semi-public life, showing up in the news every now and then considering that the matriarch is an influential socialite.

45||Jay Park – Father:

Jay Park is from the elite Park Clan that immigrated to America from South Korea in order to gain more prominence. Despite loving his kids very much, he is distant from them and tends to not give them the time of day because he is obsessed with leaving a legacy. Jay and his eldest son, Geun, have an estranged relationship due to Geun being a bastard. Jay Park might also have a bit of an anger problem.

41||Ji-yeon Park – Mother:

Ji-yeon was born in South Korea and lived their mainly. She was a very ambitious young woman who, despite not coming from a wealthy family, understood the workings of the upper class due to her experience as a maid. When Jay married her, it caused a stir in the family because she had been his maid at the time and it caused a scandal. For a long time, she was not accepted in the family. However, the extended family acts nice to her face and in public because of her upstanding reputation amongst socialites.

23||Geun Park – Eldest Brother:

Geun is the first son of Jay Park, but not Ji-yeon. He was born from an affair and in order to hide it, Ji-yeon accepted him as her own and raised him. Many of his grandparents insult him behind his back and his father avoids him because he is a deep reminder of his mistake. However, Ji-yeon, who may not be his biological mother but has always been his surrogate one, has always been by his side, cheering him on and even threatening to leave his father in order to protect him. He had plans to go to culinary school, however he has been meeting obstacles in the form of his father who does not want him to pursue such a career, instead wishing him to go to college for business.

H I S T O R Y:

Bora grew up in a rich, traditionally conservative household in Nevada near Las Vegas. Growing up, Bora never really received a lot of physical attention from her family, but instead was showered with material items when she felt lonely. As such, Bora always felt like she was being ignored. Her older brother, on the other hand, never really had that problem. He was the bastard child of their shared father and a random affair with another woman. Because of his lineage, Bora’s parents often showed most of their attention to him – negative and positive. Their father, who was ashamed of his affair, was often very critical of Geun and spent most of his free time (which was already few and far between) lecturing Geun and ensuring that he followed an impressive path. Bora’s birth mother spent most of her time doting on Geun in order to make him feel a part of the family, despite the fact that he was not hers by birth – unwittingly making Bora feel like an outsider in her own family. Due to this upbringing, Bora relied too heavily on material items and less on other people.

Bora never had any friends, probably a few acquaintances, but never any close friends. She spent most of her time by herself or by having ambitious social climbing teenagers follow her around while she was shopping. Either way, Bora was a bit of an outcast because of her shallow personality and was often the brunt of everyone’s gossiping. In high school it was especially bad. While she was never outright bullied, it wasn’t rare to find horrible messages of her sharpied in the bathrooms or hear snippets of gossips through social media. Bora tried to remain solid and unwavering, but there were always bad days where she refused to go to school and lay in bed with her silks and technology and money – her parents still didn’t care though.

At that time in high school, in such a terrible and insecure point in her life, Bora had seen that boy’s affection as a blessing and a gift. Though she acted cold to him, he still came after her and it only took a week or two before Bora decided to enter a relationship with him. It was her senior year, after all, and she had no experience with boys – she thought it was about time. In the beginning, he was sweet to her and bought her flowers and chocolate and Bora felt like she was in heaven (though it irked her that the flowers were handpicked from someone else’s garden and the chocolate was Hershey’s). However, after a month or so, the boy became manipulative and emotionally abusive. Throughout the relationship, Bora’s insecurities became worse as the guy played on them. He was very possessive of her and always kept track of where she was going and if she even glanced at a male waiter, he’d become irrationally jealous. Though Bora was scared and depressed, she thought that he was the best she would get because of her insecurities and stayed with him. She was even bullied into sleeping with him.

When the school year was over, he dumped Bora easily and left without care, not worrying about the damages he caused. Maybe in a bid to escape seeing him at the university they both wanted to go to, Bora decided to go to a school in New York – away from him and her family so she could have time by herself. The first year of college spent in New York was in the dorms of the University while working towards a degree in Fashion Design and Marketing. However, she decided to move out of the dorms after her freshman year and instead moved into a certain apartment complex.

Which he does really often, sometimes he doesn't even realize what he is saying is mean until after he said said it, or as he is saying it.

Controlling - Ryan can be very controlling to the point of being called a control freak or even claiming he has OCD. Though it is aimed more at the things around him then it is towards actual people. Especially when it comes to the things within his room or personal belongings. On the up side of things though he ALWAYS comes his room clean, and if need be the whole apartment.

His eyes are a deep blue, and have led many a girl into his bedroom. He's slender though not lacking in muscle, due to the time he puts in at the gym. He's not too short either, standing at about 6 feet, with shoes on, closer to 5'11 without. While he doesn't have any piercings, his wrist has a tattoo with the coordinates to his home town, 38.8027° N, 123.5778° W

Personality;
Creative - Reed has an amazingly creative mind, and can find art in anything. Wherever he looks, he sees a potential scene for a movie, or a potential picture. This has led him to become quite the artist, mainly behind the camera, but it also gives him quite the party planning skills. A night out with Reed will always be memorable, and if he was one for romance, he'd be quite amazing at planning them.

Promiscuous - Everyone knows that Reed is a man-whore. He's a flirt, a floozy, a dirty skank. He just can't seem to settle down, which is most definitely related to his issues with letting people in. Said promiscuity can often rub people the wrong way, as he has a tendency to flirt with just about anyone and everyone.

Closed Off - Any woman that's tried to start a relationship with Reed will tell you the same thing. He's not good at letting people in. Sure, he makes friends easy enough, but he rarely tells them much about his past. He doesn't do well with sensitivity, a fact that he hides behind a large wall of sarcasm and humor.

Loyal - When you're a friend of Reed's you become something akin to family. He sees friendship as something sacred and would never do anything to jeopardize it. In fact, he's one to go above and beyond for his friends, and would never betray them. He's been known to get into fist fights in bars, just because some shitty dude tried to hit on one of his female friends.

Place of Origin;
Anchor Bay, California

History;
Lucas Riley met Sarah McDermott on a rainy Wednesday in a diner just on the outskirts of her hometown of Anchor Bay. He sat down for a milkshakes, and one thing led to another, and two years later they were married. Theirs was truly a fairy tale romance, complete with love letters and everything. It was adorable. And then they graced the world with Abraham Reed Riley. Or as he likes to call himself, God's Gift to Man.

Reed grew up in Anchor Bay with a population of 340 people. About 100 of those people were his age, which didn't lend itself to very many social situations unfortunately. Despite these limitations, Reed was always extremely sociable, and he became known around town as quite the talker. Always the character, the whole town couldn't help but love him. He'd talk your ear off while his dad drilled into your teeth. Such was his way.

As he grew older, Reed's sociable nature led to his entrance into the world of alcohol and rebellion. As he entered his teens, he became quite the drinker, a fact which was not lost on his parents. But, despite repeated groundings and numerous scoldings, he refused to give up his life of teenaged debauchery. The only thing that he truly had a passion for was film, but even that didn't keep him from going out late at night and getting black out drunk with his friends. And as his grades plummeted, his life took a turn for the worst.

He was seventeen and had come home with three D's. His worst grades to date. He was drunk, he always was, and his dad came in to his room, fuming. There was a fight, not that he remembers most of it, and harsh words were exchanged. And then, his dad left, saying he needed to drive off his anger. His mom was crying in the living room. His dad didn't come home. The police came the next morning, and gave them the news. It was hard, and Reed blamed himself. It kept him from drinking for a while, but he took it up again, and right after high school, he moved to New York, and moved into Room 509, unable to deal with the guilt of his hometown.

Since then, he's made a few movies, nothing too great, but they've been featured in small indie film festivals. He's really hoping to get something accepted into something like Sundance, with bigger exposure, or to even act in something really great, but for now, he's just a bartender.

My favorite place to visit is the mountains :)
