"A thousand disbelievers couldn't keep me on the ground,
I've invented a momentum that'll never slow me down,
I believe it 'cause I feel it, and I shout it out loud,
I can, I can, I can, so."

What is your real name?
Ashton Harper Hall
Are you male or female?
Female, surprisingly.
What is your age?
I'm seventeen years old.
When is your birthday?
April 13th
What grade are you in?
I'm in twelfth grade, so therefore, I'm a Senior.
What are some of your hobbies and interests?
Typically, people only pay attention to the fact that I play the violin: yes, I'm good at it and yes, I like it, but I have other hobbies and interests too. For one, I really love to play video games, especially MMOs and terrible Japanese dating sims. Aside from that, I'm passionate about animals and their non-existent rights to the point where my family is ready to push me out onto the street during Thanksgiving dinner. I also volunteer at the little animal shelter not too far away from town whenever I get a breather - which is rarely, considering I'm in almost all Advanced and AP classes. Though I'm often drowning in piles of work, I actually very much enjoy school. Well, that's outside of socializing, which could be easily fixed by taking all of the homophobes, morons and lazy assholes from Wellbridge and shoving them onto an island together.
It's also often a shocker to people that I enjoy my family's religion seeing as I'm supposed to be an edgy teenager that rebels against everything that I was raised with. While I'll never take the Lord's name in vain, you can surely be promised that I'll probably drop an F-bomb at least once during your class. Sorry, swearing helps me relax sometimes. While I don't play any sports and probably never will, I don't consider myself to be a lazy person. In fact, I absolutely hate lazy people, especially those with strong beliefs who don't act upon them. If you advocate for something, but do absolutely nothing to benefit it, then how am I going to take you seriously? I'm probably being a little harsh here, but hey, you grow up in Absolutely Nowhere, Maine, you slowly get fed up with what you run into on a daily basis.
How would you describe your personality?
My father would describe me as an inspiration. My mother would describe me as a pain in the ass. Though I'm probably going to be one of the quietest kids in your class, I know what I want in life and I'm very headstrong and ambitious about it. I don't talk to people of my own accord because I'm simply uninterested in what they have to offer and because of this, I've never had many friends or a boyfriend. Or a girlfriend, however you want me to put it. As far as my personality is concerned, I think people would be surprised by what I'm really like - aggressive, blunt, outspoken and straight-forward. After all, how dare the quiet and mature girl fall outside of her stereotype?
What has your life been like so far?
My life's been pretty simple so far and I honestly can't complain. Both of my (fairly) supportive and loving parents are still together and I have an older brother that could kick anyone's ass if they harass me. Actually, that last part is a lie, my brother is a pacifist and I'm actually the (proud) fighter of the family. All things considered, I'm pretty proud of my family since as far as I'm concerned, we're pretty together and "with the times". My parents are heavy Lutheran Christians, but are supportive of my bisexuality and if my brother ever decided to come out as anything besides straight. Is that the formula for true happiness? Being supportive? Maybe.
Aside from that, I've always tried to apply myself when it came to school and I discovered my musical talent during my geek days in middle school. You know what, scratch that part - I am and probably will always be a band geek. Or just a geek in general, but I haven't exactly hit the Dungeons&Dragons stage in my life, but trust me when I say that I've gotten pretty close many, many times before. With all of that in mind, I think it's fair to say I've had a pretty good life and my hope is that my remotely happy lifestyle will continue following graduation. Only one way to find out, right?
What will you pick as your screen name (and alias if asked)?
I was thinking about hilarious it would be if my partner thought I was male, but then I realized my name already did that anyway. And honestly, basing it off of my interests or what I'm good at is too obvious. I guess BasedSwordsman will be my username because my class in the MMO I play uses a sword (and magic, technically) and that's what I am. As for an alias, I guess I'll go with Aries because that's my astrological sign.
What are your thoughts on the project?
Truthfully, I'm good behind a computer screen, so I admit to having some hopes about this project. While I'm not in desperate need of therapy or venting, maybe this will help ease some of my future stress and workload. I mean, what Seniors aren't screaming or crying eventually? I may not be right now, but that can change in a month from now. Who knows? Maybe I'll actually really like my partner.
Anything else you'd like to add?
I literally hate Shakespeare. Sorry, I had to say it to someone.

Ashton's Relations && Opinions
Darius Blake Moggs - Acquaintances (Neutral) / Unknowingly Online Friends
I don't really know much about him since we hardly cross paths. He's a Sophomore and I'm a Senior, so we don't have classes together and I don't really see him much outside of school. He does skateboarding, right? That's pretty cool, I guess. At least he's motivated to do what he wants.
Serafina Ariel Gray
Shawn Adam Hunter
Ashley Hart - Tutee/Possible Friends (Positive)
Ashley's. . not too bad. While I do think she is a little superficial and don't approve of her actions and words towards other people, I can at least tell she cares about her grades. As far as school goes, I can tell she struggles sometimes and I'd think I would know that considering I'm her tutor. While she tends to be a little narcissistic, I'd like to think she's a good person.
Emma Isabella Vein - Acquaintances (Neutral)
We've never had any classes together, but I've seen her around town and passed by her in the hallways. Although we've never spoken, she's never started drama or deliberately acted out, so she's cool in my book.
Josh Alexander Smith - Classmates (Negative)
I'm pretty sure he's flirted with me once or twice. I don't really remember. He's irrelevant in my day-to-day lifestyle. I don't care about him and I don't care to learn about him, either. Honestly, he seems like a jerk to me anyway.
Julian David Edmund - Minor Rivals (Somewhat Negative)
While I don't "dislike" Julian, I can't say that him and I get along too well. We have opposing views and are often on the opposite side of arguments, especially when it comes to Shakespeare. It's beyond me how anyone can be so obsessed with Shakespeare when his work is nothing more than fancy dick jokes.
Rebecca Hayley Roberts - Classmates (Neutral)
I don't know Rebecca very well at all and I'm more than willing to bet that the feeling is mutual.
Zachary Taylor Hunter - Classmates (Somewhat Negative)
To be fair, I've only had like one class with Zac, but it doesn't save him from my book of opinions. Some people might find him to be funny, but I find him to be obnoxious. Sure, every school needs their stereotypical class clown, but that doesn't mean I have to get stuck dealing with him.
Jordan Welsh-Noire - Classmates (Neutral)
Can't say I know much about him. Apparently, he's a new kid and is always carrying around a camera. His little sister, Celeste, has been in Wellbridge all her life and I barely know her as well. As far as I'm concerned, Jordan is a bit of a mystery. . just not much of an interesting one or one that I'd put time into solving.
Celeste Welsh-Noire - Acquaintances (Neutral)
I don't much about Celeste and being that she's a Junior, we've never had any classes together. Apparently, she's the younger sister of the new kid, Jordan. I would've never been able to guess because the two look nothing alike. Seriously, Celeste looks like she straight up walked out of an anime or something. That's kind of rude, isn't it? Oh well. I have no serious thoughts on Celeste so it'd be unfair for me to label her as negative or positive in my book of opinions.
Allen Cheshire Cross - Classmates (Neutral)
Although we're in the same grade together, I probably would've never been able to guess. Allen seems more mature than most and sometimes I suspect he's been through more than most, at least judging by that eyepatch of his. Which is a little creepy, by the way. That's probably really insensitive, but I'm not saying he's a bad guy or anything, I'm just a little wary of him. I wonder how he got that eyepatch. I don't think I'll ever ask, but hey, you never know. Maybe we might end up becoming friends at some point.
Danera Rojas - Acquaintances (Very Positive)
I don't see Danera much around school, but she comes into the shelter sometimes to see and play with the animals. She's especially fond of the puppies and while I'm not a puppy person myself, I can't help but think very highly of her. After all, she spends some of her time to make some animals feel loved. Aside from that, being around her tends to be uplifting. She's infectious like that. Honestly, if I approached her more often, I think the two of us could potentially become good friends. It also helps that I'm on good terms with her brother, too.
Jacob Rojas - Classmates (Very Positive)
Jacob is a band geek like me and because of that, we've had a few classes together in the past. He also plays the violin like me aside from like four other instruments. He's pretty talented, I'll give him that much. While I honestly don't know much about him, he seems like a pretty chill guy. He hasn't done anything to make me think poorly of him and I'm also on good terms with his sister. All things considered, I guess you can say I think positively when it comes to Jacob.
Kain Millers - Classmates (Somewhat Positive)
Kain seems alright. In fact, I admit to being a little curious about him, but that's mostly because of his yellow eyes. I've never met anyone with yellow eyes before and that's actually pretty interesting to me for reasons I don't really understand. Anyway, I don't really know anything about him, but I often notice that he's staring out the window during class and therefore, not being disruptive. Not being obnoxious is always a bonus in my book!
Wilson Fuchs - Possible Friends (Positive)
The only reason I really know Wilson is because he's dating Ashley and people are constantly talking about him, since he's apparently one of those really "popular kids". While I don't know him all too well, I'm pretty friendly with him and he seems like a cool guy. We don't have any classes together, but I've asked him for help on a few projects before. He's pretty reliable as far as I'm concerned.
Blair Lockeheart - Classmates (Neutral)
I think I had a class or two with Blair once. We might have another one together this year, but I don't really know, I haven't really been paying attention the past three days of school. I don't much about Blair aside from the fact that she's always hanging out with that Allen kid. She sometimes teases him, too. Rather loudly. But it doesn't disrupt me and it doesn't bother Allen from the looks of it, so I don't really care.
Samuel N. Childers - Friends (Very Positive)
Sam's one of the few people that I often talk to and therefore actually consider him to be a friend. Unlike most people at Wellbridge, he actually seems very intelligent, articulate and opinionated. I suppose that's something we have in common and that's why we get along so well. I still find it weird that I technically met him through Ashley - I'm more than willing to bet that he actually hates the girl.
Jordan Welsh-Noire
"I’m just a believer,
That things will get better,
Some can take it or leave it,
But I don’t wanna let it go."
- Believer, American Authors
What is your real name?
Jordan Welsh-Noire
Are you male or female?
Male.
What is your age?
17.
When is your birthday?
October 31st. No, I'm no kidding, my birthday is actually Halloween. How sweet is that?!
What grade are you in?
12th! Time to graduate!
What are some of your hobbies and interests?
I have an unhealthy interest in the paranormal and everything that comes with it whether it'd be tarot card readings or performing online rituals to summon Bloody Mary. Predictably, I'm also a fan of the horror genre, but only for books, not for movies. Horror movies always suck. I'm an avid reader of both Stephen King and HP Lovecraft -- you can probably guess my disappointment when arriving here in August and not being abducted by aliens or almost killed by zombies, but, anyway, moving on. As you can probably guess by the Canon Rebel T5i that I carry around, I love to film everything that goes on around me, whether it'd be regular school life or anything else -- you never know what you might miss out on if you aren't always behind the camera! Aside from that, I'm really into astrology and I aspire to be a director someday. I also (like most teenagers) spend a large amount of time behind the computer lurking forums or on my PS3. It's my goal to either join the Yearbook Committee or start some sort of ghost-hunting club before the end of the year. One of those goals is more realistic than the other, though.
How would you describe your personality?
Well, I'm optimistic, stubborn and pretty friendly. On the downside, I never know when to stop talking and people easily become annoyed with me. I'm also easily led and fairly naive, but I'm no helpless victim. In the deep and darker parts of my persona, I can admit to being an extremely vindictive person who can hold grudges until the end of time. But don't let that fool you, because I'm kind of a wimp: both emotionally and physically. Although I love to socialize and meet new people, I'm an introvert and become tired easily, but don't mistake that for a lack of warmth. Sometimes, I just really feel the need to "recharge" for a lack of better terms. In short? My name is Jordan and nice to meet you!
What has your life been like so far?
In a few words, my life has been fairly uneventful. It hasn't been bad or anything, just not exciting or particularly interesting. My parents divorced when I was a kid and I never really knew my younger sister, but seeing as I got the chance to transfer here over the summer, I'm hoping that will change. That being said, I am new to Wellbridge and I promise I'm a good student! For the most part. I have to really say that I'm really disappointed in the lack of alien abductions and ghosts around here, though.
What will you pick as your screen name (and alias if asked)?
I would love to go by my YouTube username, but I don't want anyone tracking me down because I'm supposed to stay anonymous, right? So in that case, I'll offer up my alias as King after Stephen King and register my username as TheLovecraftian. Seems pretty foolproof to me!
What are your thoughts on the project?
I'm stoked! I don't have any friends yet, so this seems like a great place to start.
Anything else you'd like to add?
Before anyone asks, I'm from Georgia. Unfortunately.

Jordan's Relations && Opinions
Darius Blake Moggs - Acquaintances (Neutral) / Unknowingly Online Friends
I have yet to meet Darius, but I've heard a couple of the Seniors talk poorly of him. Apparently, he doesn't exactly have the cleanest track record and is avoided by a lot of people. Honestly, I've never met him so it's unfair to assume and buy into gossip like that. I'll reserve all judgments towards him until I actually meet the guy.
Serafina Ariel Gray
Shawn Adam Hunter
Ashley Hart - Classmate (Neutral)
If there's a name that has been spoken a lot so far, it's Ashley's. Apparently, Ashley falls within the popular crowd as she's a cheerleader and hails from a wealthy family that tends to let her throw these huge parties whenever she wants. Because she's popular and there's a zero chance I will be, I don't think the two of us will end up socializing much, but I guess you never know.
Emma Isabella Vein - Acquaintance (Neutral)
I think I know who that is! I think I passed by her on the first or second day of school. She looked somewhat sad, so I didn't strike up any conversation with her and I haven't seen her since. I wonder if she's always like that or if she just had a bad day. Maybe if I see her again, I'll try talking to her.
Josh Alexander Smith - Classmates (Neutral)
Does this school even allow people to wear hats? I have no idea, but it doesn't seem to stop Josh. While I haven't spoken to the guy and have no clear opinion on him, he reminds me of some of the guys back at home and I have a feeling that he and I won't get along too well. Of course, I'll reserve all judgments until I get to know him better, but I get somewhat of a bad vibe from him. . .
Julian David Edmund - Classmates (Neutral)
I don't really know much about Julian like most others at Wellbridge. I do know, however, that he has a few rivalries with other students like Ashton and Darius. I don't really know what the rivalries are over so I can't judge. Maybe I'll try talking to him sometime and just hope he isn't a hostile guy.
Rebecca Hayley Roberts - Classmates (Neutral)
I don't believe I know her, but that could very much change over the course of this year. Maybe we have a class or two together? I'm not sure to be totally honest with you.
Zachary Taylor Hunter - Classmates (Neutral)
I believe I know who this is. From what I've seen, Zac seems to be a fairly humorous and entertaining guy, but I haven't seen much of him. Since I know virtually nothing about him, I can't really form much of an opinion on him.
Ashton Harper Hall - Classmates (Neutral)
From what I've seen, Ashton and I have a few classes together. And from what I've also seen, she doesn't seem to like me or anyone else very much. I said "hi" to her on the second day of school and she glared at me. She glares a lot at people. I wonder why. Maybe I should steer away from her for now. . I don't want bad blood with anyone during my first week at a new school.
Celeste Welsh-Noire - Little Sister (Very Positive)
If there was anything I was really looking forward to when moving to Maine, it was getting an opportunity to spend time with my little sister again. I admit that I don't really know her well because we previously lived regions apart and our only opportunity to bond before now was during holidays or the summer. Also, when we were kids, I thought she was a ghost and I guess I never got over that. So, truthfully, I'm really shy around her because I don't really know if she forgives me for the whole "ghost thing". Or if she forgives me for not really being around during our childhood, even if I couldn't help it. She's still my little sister though and because of that, I think the world of her.
Allen Cheshire Cross - Classmates (Somewhat Positive)
Although I wouldn't consider Allen to be a friend quite yet, I think that I know him a bit more than most people at Wellbridge. He seems friendly enough, especially to my younger sister who he is apparently friends with. Given a little time, I think he and I could become good friends.
Danera Rojas - Classmates (Somewhat Positive)
Danera and I are in the same Spanish class. I think she's a bit younger than me, but I'm not too sure. We had a brief conversation on the second day of school and I think she's pretty nice so far! I wonder if we could become friends over the course of the year.
Jacob Rojas - Acquaintances (Neutral)
Danera mentioned him once or twice in our conversation. Apparently, they're twins though I don't know how alike they actually look as I've never met him. I have a feeling if I hang around Danera, however, that's bound to change eventually.
Kain Millers - Classmates (Neutral)
Eyes - I mean, Kain is interesting in the aspect that he has yellow eyes. I've never met anyone with yellow eyes before and therefore, I've been trying to avoid him. Not because it's weird or because I'm afraid of him or anything, it's actually because I'm afraid of offending him. After my childhood experiences with Celeste, I think it's fair that I'm cautious around people who are a bit "different" than most. After all, I don't want to say anything rude and/or upset him.
Wilson Fuchs - Acquaintances (Neutral)
I've heard of him and I might have passed by him once in the halls, but as far as I know, I don't have any classes with him and I definitely haven't met him. So it's fair to say that I don't have a solid opinion on him quite yet.
Blair Lockeheart - Classmates (Somewhat Positive)
I know very little about Blair aside from the fact that she and Allen are supposedly best friends. I've heard some of their joking banter and even though some it even makes me blush a little, I don't think she ever means harm. She seems like a nice enough person and is someone else I could potentially become friends with given enough time.
Samuel N. Childers - Acquaintances (Very Positive)
It was Celeste who introduced me to Sam and so far, he's probably one of my favorite people at Wellbridge. For one, he's extremely considerate to my younger sister and the two of them are friends from what I have seen. Secondly, he and I seem to have similar interests or at least we've had conversations about similar interests (mainly horror). While I'd like to consider Sam to be a friend, I'm a little intimidated by his intelligence and the fact that he has successfully been writing the same review blog that I've been reading for months, even before I had met him. I think I'll wait until he calls me a friend for me to do the same.
