His quotes aren't.

His notes are. :P He talks vaguely, but when he goes into full hardcore analyst mode, it's hard not to understand where he's getting at.

That quote is a bit more straightforward than the ones I remember

Everyone requests a roommate and I figure it out

Or, you know, someone wants to help cuz I'm lazy

[Bird]

Okay, I did August's RS with Alli. I'll brainstorm for my teacher character now.

[Sixsmith]

Updated with August notes.

That's what he does when you fall asleep in his class.

[Sixsmith]

I put Oedpius notes in there too... lololol.

Mizuho said

Oooh <3. And Hae, I changed Alli's thing a bit, so Hayden would've met Alli just as she was beginning to seek help, so she wouldn't have been a star student then.

And withou further ado, here's Brenden extremely unfinished RS! I've only just started, so there's only two people filled out... And I might change Hayden's thing later, I'm not quite happy with it.

Brenden

The following are a series of notes scribbled upon Brenden’s personal school roster. It appears that Brenden really wants to impress, he took notes on what the former principal informed him about everyone, and added in his own opinions!

---

Nathan Dixon
“There are great things in this kid’s future. Apparently he’s already programming and making robots and shit. That’s insane. Note to self: Find out if he’ll be willing to make a robot exactly like me so I won’t have to go to meetings.”

Cole Grimoire
"Comes from a not-as-wealthy family. Apparently keeps to himself a lot, is he intimidated by wealth and power? I get it. They can be scary. Will try to talk to him, lets see if I can get him to open up. But according to some, Acacia is doing a pretty good job."

Acacia Hawthorne
"The first student I had a chance to meet. Student Council President eh? Seems like I'll be seeing more of her. She seems to be on the top of her game, I respect that. But something is holding her back.Maybe I'll ask her abouther brother having dinner with the Hawthorne siblings to discuss... Caelbury... Yeah..."

Vladimir Kalkovich

Lilly Lafontaine

August Marco
"From what I hear, this kid is a trouble maker. Dying the pool red? Not bad kid, not bad at all. Reminds me a bit of myself when I was his age. We should be fine, as long as he doesn't blow the school up or some drastic shit like that."

The following is a conversation between Brenden and his secretary, and some notes he took.

---

Hayden Hawthorne
Secretary: So, that was Hayden Hawthorne. Despite you being his boss, he's the one that holds the real power here. Frankly, I'm terrified of him.

Brenden: Why? He seemed so nice and his ey--... Never mind.

Secretary: If he doesn't like you in any way, he's capable of making your life hell. Don't tell him I said that! Mr. Aldrin, you'd better stay on his good side.

Brenden: Oh I will...

There are a noticible lack of notes taken during Brenden's meeting with Hayden. Presumably because Brenden was distracted by every little movement made by him. However, if one looks closely, there is something scrubbed out by an eraser next to Hayden's name in the roster. "Single?"

Alli Kendrick
Brenden: This school can't be that bad if a former student comes back, right?

Secretary: She was a troublemaker back in high school, ditched class and everything.

Brenden: Really?! She seemed like such a nice girl.

Yes, yes I did XD

[Bird]

Lol, that's great. XD August totally walked around with a sharpie mustache the rest of the day.

[Chezka]

Got a few more up. This is fun and tiring. XD
Oh, I've taken a few liberties with the other characters, so if anyone sees anything I should change, let me know!

Chezka said

Wren

Acacia Hawthorne
"Um, who? Pftt. Kidding, of course. I'm pretty sure everyone in this school knows Acacia. She's really amazing, you know? I feel like she can understand me really well, and I like not having to worry about which side of me to show her."

It's no secret that Wren looks up to Acacia. She's like the older sister she never had, and if Wren's ever feeling completely overwhelmed, she's the person she likes to talk to. Years of performance has given Wren a good grasp of body language and subtle facial expressions, so she's one of the few that notice the little hints of sadness glinting in the older girl's eyes. She doesn't know what's bothering her, but Wren is always ready to lend an ear.

Lili Lafontaine
"We haven't formally met, but I've heard a lot of things about her. I know gossip when I hear one, though, so I don't believe what they're saying about her."

Wren knows about the Lafontaine family, but not so much about the artistic Lili. There always seems to be some sort of rumor regarding her circulating around school, but Wren knows from experience never to take those at face value.

Jacob Rockwell
"Ah! Potential tutor #1. He's sort of hard to get in contact with, and even harder to get to know, but I found out he likes video games, so maybe we can bond over that? I haven't been playing in a while, so I can even ask him about what good games to get."

In her search for a tutor—her father is persistent about her finding one, soon—she scrapped up a list of potential candidates and Jacob is one of the top names on it. She doesn't know much about him, though. Except that he's a Gifted, so definitely smart, and a member of the JROTC.

Roman Zelenka
"Mr. Linguist! I thought he was a Gifted when I heard about him, but I guess not. I've been trying to get to know him, though. I could go to him for advice if I ever need to speak in a different language for a role."

Wren's still a little confused with the established social hierarchy in Caelbury, or at least about how the Commoners are drafted, and she wonders whether one could be promoted or demoted. She thinks Roman could definitely be promoted to Gifted, but only after he gets a good kick on the behind. Wasting talents and potential is a big no-no for Wren.

Vladimir Kalkovich
"Potential tutor #2, the Human Calculator! He's good company to have, and I like listening to him play music. He's a good go-to person when you're feeling down."

Wren can get along with Vladimir really well. His happy-go-lucky nature is infectious, and she has a lot of fun when he's around. She has to admit, though, she's weak against his teasing habit. Wren swears she knows he's teasing, but she always gets flustered anyway.

Rayne McCutcheon
"Mom and Dad are friends with her dad. I've known her since I was little, but after Aunt Eva passed away and Uncle remarried, I started seeing her less and less. Anyway, I see she's still as smart as always but I don't remember her being so rebellious."

As their parents both work in the entertainment industry, they've crossed path often. Wren's father goes to Rayne's father's company when he has a musical in the works. Wren got to know Rayne because they were around the same age, and she remembered being amazed at how brilliant she had been. She hasn't heard much from her after her mother's untimely death, though, so Wren can only assume she took it hard. At the very least, she knows that she doesn't like her stepmother at all. Wren didn't particularly like her either.

James McNamara
"Ah, crap. This guy and his pretty-freaking-face and his charming everything. People assume I'm promiscuous because I look like this and I'm an actress, but I totally don't know how to handle real, not-showbiz guys. Especially musical prodigies that practically ooze charm."

Wren, who likes being in control, absolutely hates it when she's reduced to a giddy excuse of a girl. She never knows how to act around James when he turns on the charm. If she's not turning beet red at his obviously offhanded compliment, then she's pathetically trying not to swoon. Wren honestly doesn't know what's wrong with her, but she swears she'll get over this soon.

Nate Dixon
"Bow down to the tech god. I had to play a tech genius for this movie last year, and I bothered him nonstop so I could study him. The guy could be a real life Tony Stark, and I'll be the first on in line for his Iron Man suits."

Wren and Nate are in the same grade, so they have a lot of classes together. As she mentioned, she pestered him nonstop during their freshman year so she could be get into the role. She felt bad after because he was so nice, it was like she was taking advantage of his kindness. So to compensate, she promised to get him whatever computer parts he wanted.

Very WIPish, but evidence of my working ;)

Name:
Adira Huston

---

Appearance:

---

Age:
29

How long has your character been teaching at Caelbury Academy?:

Social Class:
Elite/Gifted

Social Class Explanation:
Adira was an Elite in her school years. She was top of her class, and in a school like Caelbury Academy, that's quite a feat. She prides herself on her academic achievements, but there is certainly more to her then brains.

Subject:
Discipline Department (or a subject, I don't know which)

Why is your character teaching here? (This can be inserted into the history or personality.)

Personality:
Adira is many things. Confident, outgoing, stubborn, opinionated, and outspoken. She doesn't care who likes or dislikes her. She has a sharp tongue and is never afraid to speak her mind, even if what she has to say isn't very nice. She says it like it is and never sugar coats anything.

“Life sucks, people suck, I suck. Suck it up and move on, thank you.”

She takes no nonsense. She can be pretty scary when she's angry, and it isn't hard to set her off. She can not only dish out some cold punishment to her students, but a large majority of them are actually afraid she might murder them in their sleep or something. So basically, don't mess with her.

Adira is not a very patient person. She doesn't like people who whine or complain. She actually finds some enjoyment from anyone she catches falling asleep in class. Not just her class, no - if she walks past a door and sees a student sleeping, she will barge into the class just to wake them up. She does have a soft spot for the younger boys, however. She hides it well, but sometimes she has the random urge to hug them and feed them marshmallows.

---

History:
[In progress]
Adira was raised by 'tough love'. She was the only daughter in her family. With five older brothers, she learned how to stand up for herself as soon as she could speak.
Her family didn't have much money. Her mother was a maid and was very often away from the kids, and her father had multiple women to 'take care of'.

Her personality started to show in grade school. She was kicked out of both kindergarten and first grade the first week, and was not 'officially' in school until second grade. Amazingly, even with no prior schooling, Adira was able to perform them same level of work as her peers. A mere three years later - fifth grade - she was capable of highschool work.

Miscellaneous:

[Sixsmith]

Sixsmith said Updated with August notes.

That's what he does when you fall asleep in his class.

Flynn

Various excerpts and scribbling in a journal that Flynn keeps on his person. He likes to take notes on certain people he deems interesting and even those that he doesn't. There are hundreds of names and analyses inside this notebook that are simply his way of looking at people. He's intrigued by the uniqueness of Caelbury and likes to study the differences in the state of minds of those who are elite and wealthy to those who are not, as well as the oddities within each social group and how these social groups have even come to exist.

He knows a lot about people, even things you really wouldn't want anyone but yourself to know. So, if there is anything in his notebooks that seems too personal for him to know, you really don't want to find out how he figured it out. After all, this man's brain is wired around the human psyche and how it works according to environmental and biological factors in people's lives. He'll actually take various notes and assumptions, since there are a lot of variables when it comes to the human mind, and strike each down once he gets the right amount of evidence required to make such assumptions factual. This is a process that can take a few hours to a few years, depending on the person. He multitasks this and is adept at separating minds and people and connecting them, so that he doesn't lose track of who fits what bill where.

Oedipus Rex:

A face of stone holds the most troubling of minds. With eyes that pierce into the soul comes a power of the psyche unmatched even by the human brain. Such a mind only finds satisfaction in the torment of others.

Dribble/Notes: Undeniably the most popular and, frankly, the most loved thing inside this entire school. I feel his plans are of a nefarious purpose and he continues to stare at me with those beady eyes, as if provoking me to take action against him. He continues to assert his dominance over myself via sitting upon my papers and staring deeply into my eyes. I fear his potential and I fear what his intentions are. A sinister being with a propensity to mewl for attention, knowing full well his power over the students of my classroom. His number of mindless, hormonal teenagers are growing; I fear the day his wrath falls upon this earth...

Acacia Hawthorne:

"Handing people rose colored glasses is a travesty upon humanity. Relishing in their ignorance is a tragedy upon oneself."

Dribbling/Sidenotes: Interesting specimen. Eyes are too noticeably pained and vulnerable. Overbearing brother might be the cause. Further studying shows the need of such a figure in her life. Thus, hypothesis is no longer feasible. Further research shows the amount of children the Hawthorne's have, needs more evidence to connect such distress toward family members. Suicidal tendencies—will bring to brother, Hayden. Digging through interviews and reading through various lines in some of the encounters with her family, I've determined quite a bit about the average Hawthorne life and can safely deduce the reason behind Acacia's currently troubled state. She's having severe identity issues brought on by neglect and lack of approval from very difficult parents. The extreme standards upon which Mr. and Mrs. Hawthorne display has all but demoralized and degraded each of their children in some form or fashion, some simply refused to grow from it, Acacia being one such case and Hayden being the polar opposite. A lot of self-realization and restructuring would be the only form of treatment I can see that would at least attempt to heal the grievous wounds she works hard to hide.

Lili Lafontaine:

"

Jacob Rockwell:

[I]"You follow the stars in such a straight path, you find you burn out much too quickly, falling short of such astronomical goals and standards."

Roman Zelenka:

"The only sin here is mediocrity."

Vladimir Kalkovich:

"The past scorns us all."

Rayne McCutcheon:

"Severe trauma dictates much of our actions. Growth is denying that trauma any foothold into our lives."

James McNamara:

"A hot-head hides insecurities as well as a glass box."

Nate Dixon:

"A heart on a sleeve is well prepared for the heartache it always entails. But what is and what ought to be are different things entirely."

Julie Scott:

"Society asks much of us. The greatest transgression is to fall prey to such forms of 'normalit.'"

Cole Grimoire:

"The world better rewards those who make their own opportunities. Luck gets you so far and is unreliable; the world appreciates the work you do, regardless of the supposed misfortunes that make life dynamic."

August Marco:

"The syndrome and mindset of a teenager is torn through adult expectations with adolescent limits. Strains the mind and confuses the soul."

Dribblings/Notes: Severe inferiority complex; makes up for it through lying about skills and attributes, as well as unnecessary sarcasm. A smart ass, if I ever knew one. Doesn't yet realize that I find it very, very easy to see through. Amusing, but only for a fraction of a second. Fell asleep in class the other day. Drew a Hitler 'stache and compared his views to the topic of subject, as well as his flaws and his grades. Topic of subject: Totalitarian Mindset and Fascism. Bad day to fall asleep in my class. Vice Principal Hawthorne keeps asking me for his grades. I understand his concern. It's hard to get a bad grade in Intro to Philosophy as it requires few small essays and mainly participation. He lacks the will to fully integrate himself into class discussions; I make it known through both Hayden and my subtle quips directed toward him. Few of my students understand, but that's understandable: my humor isn't of the average individual. Unnecessary notes.

Pushed his "buttons" one day. Found it was hard to tell me what for without downgrading to faulty insults. I don't find pleasure in making students realize their dilemmas, but I can't say I didn't enjoy watching him squirm angrily. Easy to aggravate, easier to frustrate.

Max Wallenberg:

"A need to fill the void that boredom so inevitably brings is a need so undeniably filled by a yearning for the exotic, i.e. trouble. Trouble only begets more trouble."

Wren Sinclair:

"So many faces asking to get lost within one's own mind."

Brenden Aldrin:

"Upon a bed of wildflower doth grow the sweet nectar of the Gods, tainted by the uninhibited glory of ruth and pity of the sublime human condition."

Hayden Hawthorne:

"They say 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.' Rings true for a man of equal potential for such ruthlessness; pray he who holds such wrath know the consequences of losing the touch of humanity."

Flynn Zimmerman:

"To know oneself is to be truly knowledgeable of the world around him."

Alli Kendrick:

"Great feats of strength lie in the smallest of decisions."

It's like, right up there, but I put in quotes. I'll be continuing working on the notes/dribble.
