What Will wasn't ready for was Terry to open up the door. His face showing his obvious surprised, he looked Terry up and down. He didn't seem right. Something was off? He couldn't place it, but he just thought Terry looked a bit...weird. He mentally shrugged, chocking it up to his search for Allen Hops. He was probably just paranoid. He stepped in as Terry began texting and took a seat on the bed. He hadn't seen Terry in a few days. Something about visiting his dad? Will couldn't quite remember, but obviously he was back.

"I know it's kind of early Terry, but I was wondering if you'd seen your roommate around? Allen? Will asked once Terry had set down the phone. He scanned the room, waiting for Terry to answer. Why the hell did he have a welding table in here? Meh, Terry was always a bit weird. 

Even as he sat there, he still couldn't shake the thought that something was off. Why was only one bed made? If Terry and Allen were both staying here, shouldn't they both look slept in? And why hadn't Terry texted him when he'd gotten back? The kid was always wanting more study help. Not to mention, this kid looked like Terry, but his voice seemed wrong. You're imagining things Will. This whole thing has got you jacked up. 

He was pulled from his thoughts by a text from Avalon. She and Sam wanted to talk to him. And while his friend assured him it was nothing bad, he couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. He shot her a quick reply, before glancing at Terry. "Oh, and how was visiting your dad? Fun?" he asked, extending his mental reach as he did so, trying to sense any change in his emotions.

"If you're going through hell, keep going.”

– Winston Churchill

> Personality:
Courageous, stubborn, charismatic and ambitious. If you ask anyone what they think of Oliver Harper, these are most certainly some of the words they'll give you. Oliver is a boy who's always wanted more, always had his eyes on the top. On the top, he believes he'll be invincible, that he and his sister will finally be safe from harm. His charm is effortless, and it's quite difficult not to like him. He's stubborn as a mule, and it's nearly impossible to sway him once he's made his decision, which can be quite the dangerous mix when coupled with his foolish amount of bravery. Oliver doesn't seem to care about any danger, and traipses around the world as if invincible, under the impression that he can't really go through anything worse than what he's been through.

Despite these endearing traits, Oli is a hot headed bastard, tormented by his own insecurities. His temper is known to flare up quickly, and often, and most people know him for being one to start fights. Granted, he tends to win them, and he isn't an idiot. He won't start a fight he can't win. His fear of losing his sister, the only family he has, makes him quite overprotective and clouds his judgement when it comes to her. Not to mention that years of being told he was inadequate gave him quite the inferiority complex, which he masks with an unhealthy amount of arrogance.

> Backstory:
Oliver Harper came into this world with his sister not far behind, born to two wealthy politicians. Their parents, Jules and David Harper, raised the children for the first ten years of their life, and showered them with attention and gifts. They were the picture perfect family, and many people envied their lives. Who wouldn't? They're parents had influence, and Oliver and his sister got everything their hearts desired. In many ways, theirs was the perfect life. And then it all came crashing down.

Jules and David Harper were among the few who spoke up against the Inquisitors, mainly their censoring of history and their judicial policies. Unfortunately, the Inquisitors didn't like that. One night, while the Harpers were out on a date night, a mugging turned violent, and the Harpers were killed, and their children were placed into an orphanage, run by a woman who was firmly tucked in the Inquisitor's pocket. Meg McGovern. 

The Harper children's time at the orphanage was torture. Oliver did his best to protect his sister from the abuse hurled at them from the other children, although there wasn't much he could do. The worst of it came from Ms. McGovern, an old crone who had no business working with children. She took a particular disliking to Oli, and instilled him with a complex that he was never good enough, something he still lives with. This torture began to fuel a fire that finally became an explosion, on the eve of the Harper's 15th birthday.

The two children, finally fed up with their treatment, killed the old woman, strangled her. With no where to go, they surrendered peacefully, and they were processed and brought to the prison, where they were separated for the first time in their lives. In prison, Oli found himself to be quite popular, although there were a few who didn't quite enjoy his mask of arrogance. Luckily, he knew how to fight, or his time there may not have been so easy.

> Personality:
In many ways, Eliza is quite a lot like her brother. She's stubborn as all hell, even more so than Oli. She's also quite the wordsmith, and is known for being a very convincing young lady, one who could talk anyone down. But she's much more patient than her brother, far less arrogant. She's much more quiet and reserved, at least that's what she shows to the people around her. She saves her more energetic side for those that she truly knows and cares for, which is very few people.

Eliza's past however, has left her selfish. It doesn't show in everyday life, but most people know, that she's in this for herself. The only person she'd ever give her life for is her brother, and she's made it clear to everyone that should a time come when it comes to her or them, she'll pick herself every time. This ruthlessness also shows itself in her struggle to form close friendships, as she'll rarely be the one to interact with others first.

> Backstory:
Eliza followed her brother into the world, kicking and screaming. Her parents often laughed, and told her that they knew right then she'd be a handful. Showered with attention and gifts from day one, Eliza was a happy child, at least in the beginning. She and her brother were inseparable, constantly by the other's side. Coupled with their so in love parents, life was good. At least in the beginning. But then tragedy struck. 

Jules and David Harper were among the few who spoke up against the Inquisitors, mainly their censoring of history and their judicial policies. Unfortunately, the Inquisitors didn't like that. One night, while the Harpers were out on a date night, a mugging turned violent, and the Harpers were killed, and their children were placed into an orphanage, run by a woman who was firmly tucked in the Inquisitor's pocket. Meg McGovern. 

The Harper children's time at the orphanage was torture. Oliver did his best to protect his sister from the abuse hurled at them from the other children, although there wasn't much he could do. Eliza was forced to become strong, though she doesn't so much regret that she did, only that she had to. The worst of it came from Ms. McGovern, an old crone who had no business working with children. She took a particular disliking to Oli, much to Eliza's regret, as it left her feeling like she couldn't protect her brother. This torture began to fuel a fire that finally became an explosion, on the eve of the Harper's 15th birthday.

The two children, finally fed up with their treatment, killed the old woman, strangled her. With no where to go, they surrendered peacefully, and they were processed and brought to the prison, where they were separated for the first time in their lives. Eliza found prison to be an easy time for her silver tongue, and she talked her way out of many fights, and made plenty of friends, though being apart from her brother was always extremely difficult.
