[CHAR] Camp Wachata: Summer Fun For Everyone!

[Natural Mess]

Mya Kincade

Name: Mya Kincade

Year at Camp?: Second Year

Sex: Female

Camper or Counselor: Camper

Age (15-19 for campers, 20-26 for counselors):17

Appearance: Mya has golden brown hair that falls in soft waves around her shoulders. The golden hues in her hair compliment her Green eyes. She's an athlete and keeps herself in good shape. She's most often seen wearing jeans and a tee or shorts and a t-shirt.

Items (Special things your character brought to camp) (optional): none. Just normal necessities

Personality (optional): Mya's sense of humor, aka sarcasm and innuendos, is often interpreted as bitchyness. She has few close friends, as only a select few can keep up with, and tolerate, her quick wit. She's honestly very sweet though and if you stick around long enough to get to know her it's most likely a lifelong friendship. Mya tries to stay upbeat with a glass is half full kind of attitude and if you find her without her smile you know it's been an extremely rough day.

Short History (optional): Mya's mom died in a car accident when she was 2. She's been raised by her dad. Her older brother, though he's only 2 years older than she, has done his best to help out. She knows it's hard on them having to deal with a teenage girl. And hell, it's hard on her living in a house with 2 guys. That's why she started coming to camp. Give them a break, give herself a break. Now on her second year at Camp Wachata, Mya is excited to see what kind of adventure this summer holds

Nico

Name: Nico Laird

First Year at Camp?: Yes

Sex: Female

Camper or counsellor?: Camper

Age: 18

Appearance: With pale skin and jet black hair coupled with her dark makeup many would mistake Nico as a goth. Her eyes are a piercing blue, contrasting heavily with the darker tones of her appearance. She can often be seen wearing band tees and military boots coupled with an old German military jacket she bought from an online surplus store a year or so ago. Probably the least noticeable but most shocking part of her appearance are the lines of self harm that pattern the tops of her wrists. She keeps these hidden at almost all times, whether it be through a jacket or a wristband.

She's planned to get a tattoo for years but due to disapproval from her parents and a lack of money she has been unable to. As for piercings, that's a different story. Her ears are pierced, although she hardly ever wears earrings. She does however wear her nose piercing, which goes through her right nostril.

Items: a portable cassette player coupled with a few cassettes she's picked up from gigs and music stores over the years.

Personality: Nico could be described as introverted but that's not really doing justice to her actual personality. While she can come off as quiet at first, she can be rather loud after getting to know people or just interacting with new people while people she knows are around. The thing she loves most in the world is music, when listening to a song she loves she can often be seen dancing and singing along, although this is a rare occasion as her music taste is a little more...refined than what is played on the radio. By which I mean she's a hipster.

However, everything is not all bright with Nico. She has a history of self harm stemming from her time in highschool, something which she is less eager to show and talk about. Furthermore, she often drinks heavily when there's a party and it's likely that she'll either be curled up in the feral position almost being sick or just plain asleep by the end of the night.

Also if you call her a goth or an emo or anything similar you are likely to get an eye roll and the cold shoulder.

Short History: Nico was born in Ontario, Canada to possibly the strangest pair of parents someone could ask for. Her father was the former lead guitarist for an unsuccesful punk band turned architect and her mother was a preppy popular girl turned real estate agent. It's fair to say her upbringing was a bit of a war between the cliques, of which her dad obviously won.

However, due to her rather gothic appearance growing up she would often be bullied in highschool. Bullying which started out small and just began growing and growing until it led Nico to self harm. At this point her parents were in despair, it was only when her mother was offered a job in the states that life seemed to turn good again.

To make sure that Nico makes friends and starts to fit in with American culture they sent her to a summer camp, something which Nico is less than happy with.

Justin Liào

---

---

---

---

Name:

Justin Liào (His Chinese name would be Jianjun Liào)

Year at Camp:

Year 1

Sex :

Male

Camper or Counselor:

Camper

Age:

17

Appearance:

Justin has a cool, confident, presence around him. Despite not being the most intimidating person around, Justin still has the look of a warrior in his eyes. Being raised in such a family tends to do that for you. He stands a little taller than what you'd expect an Asian male to stand at almost five-ten. He would be shorter, but his maternal family is tall (Like freakishly, his late grandmother was six-two). That makes Justin stand out compared to other asian males. Though, he doesn't exactly have a super high body mass, at least compared to westerners.

He carries himself with an assload of confidence. Keeping his hands in his pockets as he takes large steps. Usually being the loud, life of the party. Though, he doesn't speak with an Asian accent, since he's essentially American by all definitions except ethnicity. Only accent he has is a "big-city" accent riff with slang, and attitude. You can say that Justin is very energetic, however.

Justin is pretty thin, thanks to a lightning fast metabolism, and the fact that he does a bit of work. His mother didn't want a lazy slob of a son that sits around playing videogames, so she made sure that Justin went outside. Justin does martial arts, but he did more skating than anything. He has a bit of a muscle-layer developing because he's been working on getting rather buff. His legs are very strong from running, but his arms are getting there. He's also been working on some abs.

Items:

■ A Skateboard.
■ Several packs of cigarettes.
■ An iPod.
■ His cellphone.
■ A Switchblade.

Personality:

In terms of personality, Justin is often seen as the splitting image of his mother (Observed by close and personal friends). Strong, confident, good natured, snarky, and above all else passionate. Justin is very kind, and energetic, usually having a very confident smile on his face at all times (It really unnerves people!). Justin's intelligence is often brought under question because he's, at times, very short sighted, and doesn't think things through. The problem roots in the fact that actions come better to Justin than thought, so he has a habit of jumping the gun. The other problem is that Justin is blunt about his feelings, and generally acts on them, even if they are bad ideas. So that goes without saying.

However, Justin at times displays surprising moments of intelligence, and situational awareness like no other. So he's far from dumb. He's very philosophical due to many deep conversations with his grandmother, and has managed to incorporate her experience and line of thought into his own. Though, even though he is open about his emotions, one thing troubles him; his attraction to males. You see, Justin is a closeted homosexual because he fears what his family would think of him.

Short History:

It's a long story I'll try to summarize: Justin's mother, Meifeng Zhao, moved to America from China because of her mother's dissatisfaction with China. They spent quite a while in America (Where she had many adventures of her own) before Meifeng met another Chinese immigrant that she eventually fell in love with and married. Meifeng soon got pregnant, and gave birth to twins; Justin and Katie Liao. Justin was rather energetic, and a very active young man. His mother decided to take advantage of that, and sign him up for Muai Thai lessons much like she took when she was younger. This helped Justin build confidence at a young age, and definitely helped him build social skills to this day. A friend of his helped him get into the skater scene.

But, he hung out with the less than ideal crowd that lead him to be making some rather, say, idiotic decisions. Getting into fights, smoking, and vandalism. His mother was getting pissed off about it, but the last straw came when Justin talked back to his grandmother. Which made her go to desperate measures:

She sent him to Camp Wachata.

And Justin had to be dragged there kicking and screaming.

Jaden Elijah Othello

---

---

---

---

Name:

Jaden Elijah Othello

Year at Camp:

Year 1

Sex :

Male

Camper or Counselor:

Camper

Age:

18

Appearance:

Quite gruff at first glance, Jaden, despite his rather short height, has a serious case of resting bitch face. His face is always an unamused scowl as he moves about life. He isn't the type that talks a lot either, he tends to keep his mouth shut unless he has something to say. Because Jaden is a man that's incredibly driven, and is hard to distract. That shows in his demeanor. That isn't to say that Jaden is unemotional, he sure has one hell of a smile, and a devilish laugh. But he tends to stay generally focused on the task at hand, rather than fool around. He takes small steps, and keeps his hands in his pockets.

Jaden is African-American (Primarily Nigerian, and Angolan, but he has a little bit of Afro-Caribbean in there), fairly well-built from working out, and playing sports. He has the build of an NBA player, or one in training, with firm legs, and rather well-built arms from shooting hoops (and lifting weights). Though, Jaden definitely isn't the tallest for a basketball player. He is around five-six... which is literally an inch taller than the female average. He is ridiculed by some for his short stature, but he can feel glad that there are some people out there even shorter than him. Some day he'll surround himself with short friends.

Items:

■ Jaden's drawing tools.
■ Spray Paint.
■ His Cellphone.

Personality:

Jaden is the kind of reserved individual that doesn't really talk unless he has something to say, or a snarky comment. He's generally the type of person that keeps quiet... but don't take his silence for any kind of shyness, or social awkwardness. He's just fine in social situations, just that he doesn't talk a lot. At that, he's generally quick to the point, and doesn't waste time. Jaden is fairly composed, and level-headed, thus, it's rare to see him act rashly. Though, it's very easy to get on Jaden's nerves, and that causes him to lash out a bit. Jaden is the kind of person that wants to be blunt, but holds his tongue for the sake of taking people's feelings into account. He's only blunt when the situation calls for it. Jaden is a realist to his core, and would rather see the world for what it is, and pretending it's something that it's really not. Despite his crassness, and rather grumpy attitude at times, Jaden is ultimately a good natured person that wants to be remembered, and deeply cares about the people around them. He really does want to see them succeed, and he wants to help them, but he wants to do it in his own, realistic way, rather than pretending to be a superpower.

Short History:

Jaden, like most, had two loving parents... well, not quite. Jaden's father, Wesley Othello, loved him quite a bit, and only wanted the best for him. However, Jaden's father seemed to have a strange complex where he wanted to live out his glory days through his son. You see, Wesley was an NBA player waaay back in the day for the Lakers, before he suffered a severe back injury while playing and had to put up the towel.

Jaden, on the other hand, had little interest in sport, and instead, was born with an imagination like no other. He had a love of media such as movies, comic books, and animations, and wanted to make his own. Instead of sports, Jaden would rather spend time drawing, and writing stories that he would perfect through his ages. His father didn't like that, he wanted Jaden to succeed where he failed, whether he wanted to or not. Jaden declined, but his father was always a bit of a control freak. He practically forced Jaden to give up his arts, and sent him to Basketball camp, and whatever Basketball team he could.

No matter how hard his father tried, he couldn't make Jaden give up his passion and innate-talent for art. It just became something that had to be kept a secret. The plus side to this is that Jaden had many friends that helped him develop proper social skills... though, it was always held back by his disdain of his father. He lashed out at the world because he can't lash out at his father. And he did that through some good old civil disobedience! Vandalism in the form of spray painting shit. It was the greatest form of modern artistic expression!

Rather than just punish Jaden, his mother decided to send him to Camp Wachata to give him a change of pace.

Zoey Casey Gray

---

---

---

---

Name:

Zoey Casey Gray

Year at Camp:

Year 3

Sex :

Female

Camper or Counselor:

Camper

Age:

19

Appearance:

Zoey perfectly fits the "punk girl" mold. She died her hair, has plenty of tattoos, and just has that attitude that just reeks rebellion. Older folks are quick to judge a book by the cover and immediately classify her as a problem-child just off her looks alone. Other youths are more receptive to her. Zoey carries herself with an air of confidence, but rather than just being a screaming wreck as people assume her, she is actually fairly chill and laid back. Taking slow and steady steps with her hands in her pocket, a cigarette hanging from her lips, and generally relaxed demeanor. Though, that demeanor can switch at the blink of an eye when things get a little out of control. She can either become screaming rage, or scared as a deer.

Though, she's also a little rough, that might just be because she's a bit of a tomboy. Zoey grew up around boys, and appears to be a little rugged, slightly masculine. It shows a lot in her attitude and demeanor. She smokes, she’s loud, and she drinks. She tends to attract attention with her tom-boyish streak. Her voice is a little rough from cigarette smoking, and she has a few scars and old wounds from previous injuries.

Now, onto her appearance, Zoey is pretty pronounced due to a mixture of her hair, and her height. Her hair is dyed a cyan-blue color, and it’s kept in a rounded bowl-cut. She usually keeps her hair underneath her beanie, where it’s somehow more noticeable. Zoey’s hair is a straight texture that is kept clean - but is a bit damaged from all the hair-dye, and a few mess-ups. The other thing that makes Zoey stand-out is her height. People like to call her a Goddamn Amazon because she’s six feet tall. Because of her height, people loved to shaft her into sports teams. It wasn’t anything that she enjoyed, but it kept her in shape.

She’s bony as hell, being skinny and without any sizable amount of body fat or muscle. She has like a thin layer of muscle if you squint, but there isn’t much there. A lot of her exercise comes from hauling ass from people she pissed off, because she spends plenty of time lounging around. She certainly does have a little sex appeal. Her bust is a 34C, and her hips are slightly prominent. She doesn't pack a lot in the ass area, though. Her body is a rough-square build rather than the famed hour-glass build.

Zoey is mixed-race, actually. While she looks fully Caucasian, she is Scottish, French, and half-Brazilian. She is more directly descended from the Portuguese settlers, but she has a bit of African through her veins. Her skin is a little pale because she spends a little bit of time indoors. It can't be clear, because Zoey has a few tattoos, and various scars.

Items:

■ Weed.
■ Her laptop.
■ Her iPod.
■ A pack of cigarettes.

Personality:

While she may look like a punk, Zoey is more of a free-spirit than anything. She would rather goof off than study. She likes to see herself as fun personified, as she always loves to light up a situation. Normally, Zoey is pretty relaxed, and somewhat brooding, until she gets around her friends and turns into a total goofball. While good grades don't drive Zoey, there are plenty of other things that will ignite the fire of determination in her. Give her a goal, and you bet your ass that she'll see it through to the end. That is her dreamer, determinator lifestyle, and there ain't anyone that can convince her otherwise. It's childish, but it's what helps Zoey get up in the morning. Though, I have to say that she is stubborn as hell, it's impossible to convince her to stop - especially when she's driven. Zoey is snarky, quip-witted, and loves to talk to people and explore new things. Zoey is willing to try, well, anything. She is willing to try the same gender as much as the opposite, just because she loves to explore and find new things about herself.

Short History:

Zoey was born as the oldest child of a pair of girls. The daughter of two illustrious scientists. A native of a small town, Zoey grew up watching TV shows and movies... and always wanting a little bit more. Zoey felt like home doesn't have what she wants, or needs, and never will. Which is why Zoey always aimed to leave, but was always swatted down. Once she was of age she turned into a sports-playing tomboy the moment she reached sports maturity.

She was raised following dreams, and had a love of different brands of music. Zoey played around with instruments, but they weren't her thing (they hurt the shit out of her fingers). But, she was drawn to electronic music... and eventually, she figured out how to make music, and it became her obsession. Her grades plummeted as she aspired to become a techno artist. She dropped a few hot LPs on Soundcloud, but barely gathered an online audience. However, she finds her true audience by preforming at parties.

Once Zoey matured, her father wasn't very receptive of Zoey slacking. She graduated highschool by the skin of her teeth, but she was kicked out of her house when she refused to get a job. Zoey had to stay with a friend... and get a job. She got a job as a barista at the local Cafe, but she still indulges in her childhood fantasies, and parties a lot.

Ana

Name : Ana Perdida

Year at Camp : 1

Sex : Female

Camper or Counselor? : Camper

Age (15-19 for campers, 20-26 for counselors): 16

Appearance : Ana is a girl of small stature with a slight, delicate build. She has soft features and a small, round face. Her eyes are a deep brown color, bordering on black, and always seem to be somewhat unfocused, staring off into space. She has a small mouth and thin lips, that are often pursed as if she is contemplating some great and impossible question. Her posture is usually rather poor, but supremely relaxed. Her hair is a waterfall of black curls billowing down just past her shoulders.

As far as clothing, Ana tends to wear comfy gym shorts, typically black and reaching a few inches above her knees. She is also rarely seen without her favorite hoodie, a warm, white garment that she wears near-religiously. Beneath the hoodie she typically wears one of many tank tops. For footwear, she typically wears a pair of beat up black sneakers, which are almost never tied. She is also fond of wearing a red baseball cap. Overall, her appearance is a bit odd, and fits to the fact that she can never quite determine if she's feeling too hot or too cold.

Items (Special things your character brought to camp) (optional) : Ana carries a charcoal grey messenger bag, usually filled with sketchbooks and pencils.

Personality (optional) : Ana can come across as a bit strange. She is not very outgoing, and is rather quiet for the most part. She also has a tendency to get lost in her own thoughts or become easily distracted by some minute detail of her environment. When someone does manage to get her attention, however, she is fairly friendly, if a bit odd. She has a dreamy personality, and a slow, soft voice that makes her seem lazy or half-asleep. Ana is positively terrified of being out on the water, and will steadfastly refuse any invitation to enter a boat, or even to put her feet in the water. Strangely enough, she is more than content to watch the water however, so long as she is safe and dry.

Short History (optional) :
Skye does not have a lot of friends at school (even though she attends like 75% of the clubs). Before her mother passed away, she taught her about stars and such, sparking Skye's love for astronomy. After her death Skye isolated herself from her brother and father, causing herself to become more quiet and introverted. At the age of 14 she started smoking and got into fights, resulting in the huge number of scars.

During one of her many martial arts lessons she learned from her aunt(which was the instructor there) that her mother attended the original Camp Wachata and she decided to go in her footsteps.

Ethan Park

Name: Ethan Shin-Pae Park

First Year at Camp?: Yes

Sex: Male

Camper or counselor?: Counselor

Age: 24

Appearance:
Well kept black hair and thick framed black/brown retro-wingtip glasses, he looks like a stereotypical Asian nerd. He wears button down shirts of white or off-white colors that he ironed to his high standard. He wears clean jeans and casual leather cognac colored shoes.

Items:
A talisman inside of silk purple pouch. This talisman was given to him by his maternal grandmother who was very close to a shaman, made specifically for him before she left Korea right after the independence following the World War 2. The shaman (Mu-Dang) said she inscribed this from the local god of a river (Nak-Dong) to grant him a protection against evil spirits. Ethan is not really sure if it works or if any of the story told by his grandmother is true.

A well-used planner made by Daytimer, size 3, black faux leather cover. It has monthly, one-day-per-page, address book, business card holder, and small pouch. It also contains a parker jotter pen with medium blue refill and a new dot field notes.

Personality: Collective and calm but he is only like this because what he saw so far is typical summer camp tropes. He is easily scared and particularly fearful of centipede or other many-legged bugs.

Short History: Well-groomed but nerdy Korean University student who attended Mathematics and Statistics program and going into an education program. He is the third generation immigrant but quite proud of his grandparents' birthplace. With that said, as a Korean with a rich history of archery, He is decent with traditional recurve bow. But he enjoys crafting small items such as hand sewn journals or designing new pages for his Daytimer planner

Taking an interest in academics much to his father's delight, He found a love for knowledge. In earlier years he went to a smaller less open summer camp called camp shady brook. Sadly, the old camp was boring for a 15 year old, and asking his father to change summer camps wasn't too much of a difficulty.
