_{character originally created for the badlands}

Name: Reagan Woods
Age: 19
Gender: Female

Appearance

Affiliation: Young Gods
Strengths: Has a lot of connections | Trained in hand-to-hand combat | Manipulative
Weaknesses: Cocky | Lacks survival skills | Forgetful

History:
Reagan was born Olivia Greene, the only daughter of Anthony Greene, owner of the White Lotus Casino, and Trinity Greene, a member of the Badlands' Political Council. She was born into the worst of Badlands, surrounded by all the luxuries the wretched city had to offer. She loved it - by the gods, she knew she loved it. She loved all the attention she was getting. She knew that most of them were just sucking up to her because of her parents, but she was being treated like a princess and she didn't want it any other way. She knew she'd become the epitome of a spoiled brat and she embraced it, not knowing anything else.

When she was sixteen, the attention showered on her dwindled. Reagan didn't like that one bit. She sought for ways to grab her parents and the people's attention again, but always came up blank. That was when she saw a member of the Young Gods training in one of the abandoned houses in the Outer Circle. She hid and watched them from the shadows, captivated by what they did. She learned that they were planning a rebellion - that they were training themselves to survive the Wasteland. She didn't really like their advocacy - she loved her life in the Badlands, thank you very much - but one word struck her. Rebellion. She knew how much her mother hated that word. She hated the very idea of it. Reagan knew what she had to do.

She dyed her hair from blonde to a dark brown. She changed her clothing style to fit the typical Young Gods. She stopped going by Olivia and changed her name to Reagan Woods. She began to laugh at the people who told her she looked like the Councilwoman's daughter, saying something about how lucky she'd be if she were. She integrated herself into the Young Gods and watched her mother for her reaction. She'd definitely caught her mother's attention, but it didn't yield the result she wanted. Trinity Greene announced that her daughter had fallen ill and died.

Now caught in the lie she'd made without any place to turn to, Reagan was stuck with the Young Gods. They trusted her enough to be one of the Young Gods' leaders, and Reagan begrudgingly agreed. She would join in their plotting and their games, but she was still searching for ways to make up for her little stunt with her mother.

Others: Reagan's preferred weapons are daggers and her bare hands. She's still in contact with her younger brother, Victor.

NAME:
Elizabeth "Eli" Cassidy

AGE:
17

LIKES:
Rain | Music | Coffee | Running | Anything that gets her blood pumping

DISLIKES:
Sitting still | Sweets | Being underestimated | Being ordered around | Silence

QUIRK:
Eli always carries a ring with her (often placed on a necklace) for good luck. The ring was her brother's class ring.
Eli has a number of tattoos around her body, most of which are quotes or lyrics.
Eli is a very quick learner.

BIO/PERSONALITY:
Everyone who knew Elizabeth Cassidy would tell you that she is absolutely crazy. Eli is a risk taker verging on the point of being reckless. There isn't a dare or a challenge that Eli has turned her back to. This has often gotten her in trouble before - with authorities and from suffering a few broken bones - but Eli loved the thrill of it. When her peers cheered and cajoled her into doing something, she just knew she had to give them a show.
Eli isn't sure when her addiction with adrenaline rushes started, but she knew her brother was a big influence in it. He had taken her on his motorcycle for the first time when she was nine and she loved the feeling of the wind against her skin. Even before that, she'd been jumping cliffs with him. Eli savored those memories - screams of both terror and fun as adrenaline pumped in their veins - because that was all she had left. Memories.
Her brother died when she was fourteen. She supposed she should have learned from him. She should have learned to stop being as reckless as he was, but she couldn't help herself. That had been the only way she saw to honor his memory. And it was destroying her.
When her friends cornered her and gave her the brochure for Camp Turtle Shell, she laughed in their faces. They said it was to help her - that maybe slowing down would be good for her. Eli didn't listen. She didn't want to get stuck in some camp where nothing happens. She wanted to feel her blood pumping under her skin. She wanted her heart to beat so fast it was close to bursting. Ready to give up, her friends moved to let her escape. It wasn't until her childhood friend piped up, daring her to survive at least three weeks in camp. Eli knew it was a trap - that she was being manipulated - but the smirk on her friend's face irked her.
That was how she found herself packing her things and heading for Camp Turtle Shell, hating every second of it.

What: Badlands Independence Day
When: August 28

Despite all the differences of cultures in Badlands, the city's Independence Day (or more accurately, it's foundation) was a celebrated day. During Badlands Independence Day, the streets of the Inner Circle becomes a hub of firework displays and storefronts selling various merchandise commemorating the holiday. People from both the Inner and Outer Circles find themselves on neutral ground during this holiday - everyone eagerly awaiting the grand firework display at the end of the night.

The Badlands

^{This city is disgusting; a corpse of what it used to be
The people are filthy, gluttonous}

Welcome to the Badlands

It has been a almost a hundred years since the Badlands was created. The last of the first generation had died, and the youth of the third run rampant in the streets. There is nothing beautiful about the Badlands. It wasn't an oasis. It wasn't a utopia.

The people don't remember what the world used to be like before the Badlands. Some say it was heaven. Other say it's worse. All they know is that whatever's out there is grueling sand and deadly shadows now - the Wasteland. Those who run the city try to paint it as a haven - that they should be thankful that they're not out in the Wasteland - but the people see it for what it is. The government that lords over them is corrupt, running the poor dry when there's barely enough to go around. The shadows that lurk in alleyways are no better. Faceless, they take what they want no matter the cost.

Nothing can enter the Badlands, and no one can leave. The people are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

Badlands

The Badlands is a metropolis located in the middle of a desert wasteland. The city is urban in style, resembling Las Vegas and Tokyo with skyscrapers and dark streets. The outskirts of the city is a dense forest with heavily armored soldiers stationed 24/7. The Outer Circle follows the forest. It's nothing more than abandoned and depreciating buildings. This is where most in the Badlands find a place to rest their heads for the night. As you go closer to the center of the city, the booming city life becomes more prevalent in the form of sky high buildings, and neon lit casinos and brothels. But don't be fooled. Despite their golden crowns and sleek suits, the Inner Circle no better than the Outer Circle. It's worse.

There is no standard of morality in the Badlands. There is no question of right or wrong. The only question that matters is how will you sate your hunger tonight and who are you willing to destroy for it.

Young Gods

A group of youth from the third generation call themselves the Young Gods. They station themselves in a small building in the Outer Circle. Here, they train. They plot. They want out of the Badlands. None of them knows what's waiting out there, beyond the Wasteland. Or if there's anything beyond it. They only need to find out how to get out. And soon.

This is posted in their base.

Wasteland

The Wasteland is nothing but desert. There are harsh sandstorms daily and deadly animals roam the sands. But they're not the only threats out there. There is a creature that people say was the reason that the Badlands was created in the first place. No one knows what it is or what it is capable of, only that it cannot enter the Badlands.

---

Inspiration

The Badlands is an area of the world in the future. There's a booming metropolis, a city that's evolving. It's full of toxicity, probably a corrupt government. It's power exchange. The area surrounding it is a desert wasteland, and what the wasteland does is it keeps the people of Badlands captive there. It keeps anyone else from getting in. It keeps anyone from the outside world from entering the Badlands as well... The entire thing is a metaphor for a mental state. We have been living in the mental badlands for years.
