ρєяѕonalιту :: Felix is kind and soft, and really rather feminine for a boy, especially one who had been identifying as straight. His softness often leads to him being stepped on or taken advantage of. However, his mental disorders also led to bullying from those who didn't understand. Still, Felix hasn't lost his faith in humanity, just in himself.
нιѕтoяу :: Ever since he could remember Adain received the utmost attention from his parents, since he had developed early-onset paranoid schizophrenia. Felix didn't seem to mind, though. When he was old enough, all he wanted was to stop his older brother's distress. He seemed to be able to calm Adain down most of the time, after Adain had been medicated. His brain, however, didn't seem to like the lack of nurture and attention he received from his parents, compared to what his brother received. He soon developed Night Terror Disorder and Nightmare Disorder, which led to insomnia.
Since his older brother had been sent to a mental institute called Whalestoe, Felix has been beginning to develop bibliomania as a way to somehow cope with the absence of his brother and best friend. He never really much fit in with his peer group and was usually bullied, which led to his insecurities and eventual eating disorder.

нιѕтoяу :: James is the most extreme stereotype of a middle child. He has always felt ignored, and had felt as though his accomplishments have been simply looked over compared to that of his siblings'. He runs away from home very often, and this most recent time he has been living with Guilherme.

{ Mckinley } { Seventeen } { Male }

✝нαт ₩øυłḓ ℬℯ ♏℮

full name: Mckinley Kadence Weiss
age: 17
gender: Male
birthday: July 27th
hometown: Mckinley was born in South Korea when his dad was stationed there. He then moved around the states, being an Army brat, until his dad retired in Manhattan. He's lived in Manhattan longer than anywhere else, so he identifies it as his hometown.

ℑᾔтø †нε ℳїґґøґ

general description: Mickey is average height for a boy his age and a little light in the weight category. He stands at about 5’11 and weighs approximately 120-130 pounds. His limbs are a little lanky, though not quite lanky enough to be described as awkward. He has lighter eyes than most other people with dark hair, however, they’re not light enough to have that shock value that always seems to attractive. In fact, they’re dark enough that the main colour is muddled and Mckinley doesn’t really care for them.
He isn’t really into the wonderful world of fashion, but he does have a thing for socks. Unfortunately, men’s socks come in limited colours, and an even more limited variety of designs. This drives him to buy girl socks in order to satisfy his craving for crazy colours and designs; his feet are almost embarrassingly small, so he doesn’t have to worry about them fitting. The only time other people see them is when his shoes are off, and how often is that?

hair color: Thick, dark brown most of the time, medium brown in sunlight, black in low lights.
eye color: Grey-green
skin complextion: Milky-peach during the fall and winter when he wears jackets, but more on the tan, sun-kissed side when the months get warmer.
clothing style: Not really much into fashion, Mckinley goes for straight-legged, dark-wash jeans, and just t-shirts. He tends to wear skater or boarding brands, sometime v-neck, but he prefers crew cut.
scars / modifcations: Both ears are pierced with size six gages.

฿εƴøη∂ †нε ℱʟεṧℌ

persona: Mickey is a cheery jokester who is rarely gloomy. He's been called sadistic - mostly in a joking manner - because rather than trying to cheer up someone who is sad, he takes advantage of the situation and turns it into a photo op. He holds photography over most emotions, both for himself and others. As one can imagine, this attitude of holding his art so high often leads to inevitable heartbreak. Needless to say, his reputation caught up with him and he hasn’t had a meaningful relationship in what seems like years, but it’s not like he’s been alive very long, either.

There's an awkwardness about him when he's not on his board or hiding behind his camera. He’s not quite what one would call clumsy, but he’s certainly not graceful when he merely walks on his own two feet. When he gets on his skateboard, all of that seems to disappear; and when he’s taking pictures he becomes aloof and cool. Even when he’s into his artistic release, he is still able to joke and have fun with friends if he was already previously in that mood. And although not shy, words tend to elude him. He doesn’t even really think in words, but more of a collage of pictures. This only adds to the holes in his personality when it comes to intimacy. He’d much rather present the object of his affection with loads of pictures to express himself. Unfortunately, he takes too much pride in his art and does not want to throw it away on someone who will potentially leave him anyway.

history: Mickey was born in South Korea when his dad was stationed there. He was meant to be born in the states, but he was born premature and so his family ended up staying in the country for an extra two months. They moved when Mckinley was still an infant, so he doesn’t remember anything from Korea. After that, they moved to Hawaii and then continued moving to different states every 2-3 years. His dad retired from the Army in Manhattan, really just taking a dive in spontaneity. It was when he enrolled in middle school there that he met Annie.

The two were fast friends, especially after Mickey had caught the girl after she tripped over her own feet, and saved her from crashing into a table with a bowl of punch on it. Both of them actually had their cameras at the time, which quickly opened up a topic for discussion between the two and everything just snowballed from there.

Mickey had taken up photography as a way to cope with moving around so much. His parents thought it would help if he could have pictures of the people he was leaving behind. Soon the simple coping method turned into a full-fledged obsession, and Mckinley photographed more than just people. He started doing extra chores and picking up babysitting jobs so that he could earn money for equipment. Mostly self-taught, he did take a couple of amateur classes at hobby-specialty stores.

[Make_a__Scene]

{ Annie } { Eighteen } { Female }

✝нαт ₩øυłḓ ℬℯ ♏℮

full name: Annabelle Blue Shimanek
age: 18
gender: Female
birthday: January 22nd
hometown: Manhattan, born and raised. How lonely.

ℑᾔтø †нε ℳїґґøґ

general description: Annie is a short, skinny girl; she’s five nothing and barely breaks 90 pounds. Her auburn hair appears more red in natural light, more brown under fluorescents. It used to fall just past her shoulders, but she cut it into a bob just before senior year. It bothers her sometimes, falling into her face, so she’ll pull the majority of it back into a hair tie. She has a fairly high voice, though it's not quite whiny. Her best friend gave her the nickname "Boxxy", because her voice is so similar. Her limbs seem long, even though she’s short, and her hands have long, skinny fingers, very bony. She has a very pale skin tone, though it’s more pasty than fair. Annie knows her flaws very well, but she embraces them rather than trying to hide them.
hair color: Auburn
eye color: Blue. That clear, crystalline colour.
skin complextion: Extremely pale. She never tans, only burns.
clothing style: Annie prefers sundresses and skirts over anything; she won't wear jeans if she can help it. She likes to be trendy, or try to be trendy. Long necklaces, some plastic, some painted silver. Since she's so short, she likes to wear heels or wedges to increase her height, and she rarely wears flats.
scars / modifcations: None. At all. She broke her arm when she was twelve, but it healed cleanly. Her right elbow is just a little crooked.

฿εƴøη∂ †нε ℱʟεṧℌ

persona: Annie is shy and a little withdrawn until she actually makes a friend. Even then, she is in no way loud like most other teenagers. She still laughs and jokes with her friends, but she isn’t quite as “hyperactive” and has more of a calmness about her. She’s often been described as serene, both when behind her camera and those rare times she’s not. When she is friends with someone she feels comfortable teasing and often throws playful, girly punches.

She is very secure with herself and is tough to put down. While she seems to be in control of her emotions, she has the capability of losing her temper a bit if someone is trying to verbally fight her. Annie also gets a bit angry when people don’t stand up for themselves, because she doesn’t understand why they wouldn’t.

She is often a victim of word vomit and knows it, but there is nothing she can do to stop it. Unfortunately, she has actually come to terms with the word vomit just being a verbal clumsiness that accompanies her physical clumsiness. She’s a total klutz, though can’t seem to move gracefully no matter how hard she tries. Apparently it’s something that makes boys either roll their eyes or turn into condescending jerks. But it’s not like Annie tries to be so clumsy; not only is it a hassle, but she doesn’t find it cute, either.

history: Annie has lived in Manhattan all her life; in fact, the only time she’s ever moved was when she was five, and it was only across town. Her entire family is into the arts, but business as well – the males more than the females are into the business side of things. Therefore it wasn’t long before Annie found a camera in her hands, soon never leaving the house without one. Her mother loves taking on interior decorating projects, while her father enjoys writing, acting, and baking. James and Joseph, her older twin brothers, are fashion designers. They tried their hand at high fashion for a while, but then discovered they much preferred more practical clothes. The two opened a boutique, selling their own designs.

When Annie was five, her family moved into a Pepto-Bismol pink house, the parlor of which was turned into a quaint café, with the family living upstairs. She used to love that house when she was a little girl, then in middle school she went through a period of hating it, but she loves it again now that she’s matured. Unfortunately, her room hasn’t matured with her, and it still looks like it belongs to a little girl, other than the full-sized bed.

; e y e c o l o u r
Sasha's eyes are incredibly light in colour, brown in hue, which starkly contrasts his dark hair. When natural light hits them they appear to be made of amber, complete with a burst of darker shade extending from the perimeter of his pupil. They were his mother's eyes, he's told.

; h a i r c o l o u r
His hair is a very, very dark brown. It appears black under synthetic light, and only has a brown tint to it when he's outside. It's coarse and thick, but it lightens easily, so if he spends a lot of time outside it will become more of a moderate brown for a while.

; c l o t h i n g s t y l e
The kind of clothes Sasha finds himself wearing easily fit into the style of "indie". He wears plaid flannel shirts, straight-legged and skinny jeans, and does not wear shorts if he can avoid it. He frequents GoodWill and other thrift stores since money is tight. When it comes to shoes, however, he has something against buying used shoes, so he springs for those. He wears shoes that are comfortable, not caring too much for running shoes. Sasha isn't so fashion forward; he wears things he likes and doesn't bother with what other people might think when they look at him.

; h e i g h t
6’4

; w e i g h t
186 pounds

; a p p e a r a n c e
Since Sasha is a pure-bred Russian - the first generation to be born in America - he's a big guy. He can easily pack on weight, so he consciously tries to counteract that by going to the gym on a regular basis. This has resulted in the boy gaining toned muscles, which wasn't his initial goal, but certainly turned out to be a plus, especially since his skin tone is on the lighter side of the complexion spectrum. His hair is wavy and he has a lot of it, though he keeps it short on the sides and long on the top. He has large hands with long, bony fingers, really the only part of him that is bony. His stomach is flat, although he doesn't have a "six-pack" and actually tries to avoid gaining one as he finds them a disgusting display of masculinity.

Sasha does not have any body modifications as his father did not allow it, however, since he turned eighteen he's been working on a tattoo design and saving up money. He does have a birthmark running around the left side of his waist: it's just a dozen or so pink freckles, fairly faint. There is also a decent-sized scar in the middle of his back, just to the left of his spine. It is a little gruesome, as it is raised and shiny-pink, but is merely a reminder of a previous surgery.

-------------------------{ Breaking Through }-------------------------

; p e r s o n a l i t y
Ever since his mother died his downward spiral began, however when the abuse started was when the walls really started coming up. Sasha is cold and distant and avoids people when he can help it. He cannot stand children, probably stemming from the loss of his younger brother. He is straight-forward and blunt, and he can easily be described as a jerk. Even though he puts up a facade, anyone who cares enough to try to get close to him would see how thin the mask he wears is. So far, though, the only person able to melt his facade has been Julius; that's the only person he feels he can be a normal person around.

Sasha has a sailor mouth and does not censor himself ever, even around children. If he sat down and thought about it, he'd realize that it came from his father, just like most aspects of his personality. He does have a soft spot for animals and often picks up strays to keep for a few days before turning them over to the Humane Society.

Sasha works as a barista at a local coffee shop.


; h i s t o r y
Sasha's parents are both Russian and didn't move to the States until his mother was pregnant. Sasha was raised learning English and Russian simultaneously, but since he went to public school he lacks a Russian accent. When he was five his mother gave birth to his little brother, Viktor. However, merely three years later the boy was killed in a car accident in which an SUV ran a red light and T-boned the family car; it hit the passenger's side, where Viktor's carseat was. Of course, his parents were devastated, but Sasha was perhaps the most shaken up over it. Already in the learned mindset that boys are supposed to be emotionally strong, he put on a strong facade and never received the proper counseling after the accident.

At age thirteen he came out to his friends as bisexual which seemed to be perfectly fine, as everyone else in middle school seemed to be going through some sexual curiousity. Although, when all of his friends grew out of it and he was still chasing boys, he was all-but abandoned. The only friend who stuck around was Julius, who happened to have two dads. Upon entering high school, Sasha made new friends and resolved that they were better than his old ones. Halfway through his freshman year his mother died from pancreatic cancer, which caused his father to start drinking regularly. That same year he also came to terms with his sexuality and realized he had no interest in girls.

A year later Sasha started his first real relationship, and the boy he was dating convinced him that it was time he came out to his father. It was also somehow decided that the best way to do this would be to bring the boy home. And that was what Sasha did. He should have known better, though. His father is a traditional Russian, and the situation escalated within seconds. There was plenty of yelling and arguing, all the while Sasha standing there holding hands with a shrinking boyfriend. And then it all ended abruptly when his father slapped him. It was the first time his father had hit him and everything in the world seem to freeze and then immediately shatter around him.

Shortly after, Sasha's father began drinking heavily, and the slap seemed to be the gateway to fairly regular abuse. Physical and otherwise. The absolute worse thing to ever leave his father's mouth was, "Viktor wouldn't have turned out like you. Viktor was my only true son." Normally someone who would yell back, after that comment Sasha locked himself in his room and cried until he couldn't breathe. It was the first time he remembered crying since he was a child, and the last time he'd allow himself to. Still, Sasha was headstrong and merely began stacking up cold walls around himself. By the time he graduated high school he had grown distant from many of his friends. The only constant in his life seemed to be Julius.

He was sixteen the first time he ran away; it was on an impulse after he had an argument with his father. He snuck out a window with only his wallet and ten dollars in cash. All he did was run, and he ended up sleeping under a jungle gym at a park only to return home the next morning. He still runs off every now and then, but continually returns home.

Sasha does not care for flamboyant people. Other than that, he doesn't necessarily have a specific type. Since he started distancing himself from people, he hasn't had a lot of luck in the dating department; people become frustrated with him quickly. So he'll go for almost anyone who can stand him for an extended period of time.

-------------------------{ By the way... }-------------------------

Sasha hates his first name, so he'll only introduce himself as Sasha. Julius and his employer are the only ones who know his first name. However, if he ever runs into his father he will call Sasha by his birth name.

Julius would rather go shirtless to show off the artwork on his body. However, since that is not an acceptable option he settles for V-necks, which end up showing some of his chest piece and shoulder. He prefers straight-legged, dark-wash jeans, black leather belts or studded belts, and Converse high tops of various colours. He rarely accessorizes, and when he does it is only with leather cuffs or chain bracelets.

Julius is an average teenage boy in every sense of the word; average height, average weight, average build and body frame. His skin tone is a happy medium between pale and olive, perfect for the dark features of his hair and eyes so that he doesn't look sickly, but nor is he quite dark enough to look exotic. Julius has quite a number of tattoos on the upper part of his torso and one behind his ear. He has a faint scar along the right side of his jawline from falling off a seesaw when he was a child.

-------------------------{ Breaking Through }-------------------------

; p e r s o n a l i t y
He's often been put in the position of being somebody's rock. That is to say, he's fairly stable and has limited emotional anxiety issues. Even though he is adopted he has no abandonment or attachment issues, and he's really just a normal guy. He curses every now and then, but probably just slightly less than that of the norm. Certainly no more than Sasha, though. He is happy and outgoing, brave and likes to get into trouble.

Julius does have a highly addictive personality, and he can recognize it in himself, but he still can't always keep himself away from things he will potentially get addicted to. He's never experimented with drugs for fear of a blossoming drug addiction. However, for his sixteenth birthday his dad took him to get a tattoo, and he quickly became addicted to the ink. He has several pieces and would like to get more. Sasha introduced him to alcohol, and he became borderline alcoholic before he caught on to the addiction and he had to work to bring himself back down. This addiction isn't limited to material thing; he gets addicted to people, particularly girls he develops crushes on. This seems to become a problem when his girl wants her space.

Julius doesn't ever seek out people to cheer up, but he also doesn't avoid them and he's always pleasant, just himself. He seems to be good at giving advice in terms of bringing people down and getting them to just talk, however he has a hard time allowing himself to do the same thing. He has an innate mindset at the front of his mind that his problems are lesser, but when he becomes introspective his very soul is crying for help.

Julius works with his parents in a deli that they own, as well as taking babysitting jobs.

; h i s t o r y
Julius was adopted as an infant by Josh Rickers and Derrick Christiansen. The circumstances surrounding his abandonment in the orphanage were somewhat mysterious in that he came from a homeless shelter; the shelter claimed that they'd found him in a baby carrier without anyone who claimed to be his parent. A young volunteer at the shelter started calling him Julius because the pattern of very little hair he had reminded him of Caesar's crown of leaves.

His parents had been on a waiting list for adoption for several years and finally got the chance to adopt a few months after Julius was brought to the orphanage. He was about nine months when he was adopted, and as far as anyone knew his name was Julius, and so his parents gave him his middle name which has no significant meaning, just a name they both like. Julius pretty much grew up knowing he was adopted, since he belongs to an untraditional family. Fortunately, it never really seemed to bother him; he went through a brief phase in elementary school where he wanted a mother but it passed fairly quickly.

Middle school was when he first started getting picked on for having gay parents; it was all verbal, and he mostly just brushed it off, but he remembered being in the counselor's office a lot. He had met Sasha in a few of his classes and had done projects with him before, but he had never gotten together with him outside of school. After Sasha had been abandoned by his friends, Julius connected with him on a deeper level, and the only time he ever got suspended was when he started a fight with one of Sasha's ex-friends for making ignorant, homophobic comments. They've been best friends since Julius was able to convince Sasha there was nothing wrong with him.
At the beginning of high school Julius was actually beat up for his parents' sexuality, which made absolutely no sense to him. That ended when Sasha hit his growth spurt, and when his bullies either graduated or matured.

He has minor fears, but nothing strong enough to be considered a phobia. Maybe an irrational phobia of spontaneously combusting due to bottling things up.

; d i s e a s e s
Julius has synesthesia, which is a disorder in which senses get mixed up. In his case when he hears music he sees colours, which led him to become a painter.

Julius, contrary to most boys, prefers girls with short hair. He likes cute but strong personalities and doesn't really go for the tomboy type. He enjoys a girl who has confidence in herself, and one with a similar sense of humour to his. He also doesn't care for girls to cuss an excessive amount.

-------------------------{ By the way... }-------------------------

Julius is really bad about following rules, not always necessarily on purpose; sometimes he doesn't just pay attention. Other times he does consciously get himself into trouble, though.

Jamie is in the taller range of height, but has a slight frame so is not entirely threatening at first glance. He has narrow shoulders and a slim waist, and so he has to make sure the clothes he wears don’t give him too much of a feminine figure. He scowls often which gives his otherwise soft features a harsh look. His skin is delicate and fair, burning easily but tans well if he ever does get any sun during the summer. His hair is actually quite dark at the roots, a deep reddish-brown colour, but it lightens naturally as it grows into more of a dark blonde.

๑ мeмoir ::
Jamie was born into a rather wealthy family and had a fairly normal childhood. His parents weren’t around much during the day. He was dropped off at school by an uncle and went to afterschool programs until his parents were done with work. When he got a little older he’d get on the bus in the morning by himself and come home on the bus, letting himself into the house with a key. He wouldn’t see his parents until the evening, sometimes not even in the morning. It was almost as if he were living by himself, with his younger sister Anatta.

When he was eleven he entered the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. His assigned brother was an 18-year-old named Wilson. He saw him once a week, Wednesday, and it turned out to be the best day of the week. Every now and then Wilson would pick him up on Saturdays, too. They’d go to a movie or play mini golf, things his parents never seemed to have time for. On occasion they’d just go to Wilson’s apartment and play video games and order a pizza.

As time went on the time they spent in the apartment increased and they hardly went out anywhere anymore. Jamie was okay with that, though, because he just liked being with Wilson. Apparently Wilson liked his company as well; the Saturday visits became more frequent. They started playing games in the apartment, often they’d play in his room with the door shut, sometimes they’d play on the sofa with the blinds drawn. Sometimes they kissed; it was weird at first – Jamie didn’t even know boys were allowed to kiss – but he got used to it. No one was supposed to know about the games they played; they were special, secret games.

Unfortunately, one Wednesday Wilson didn’t show up. He didn’t come that Saturday or the following Wednesday, either. Jamie was never told why Wilson left, and so he figured he had just been abandoned. This was the beginning of his downward spiral into extreme vanity.

In middle school he took a home economics class in which one of the projects was to create an article of clothing. As it turned out, Jamie had a knack for it, and he kind of found designing enjoyable. He made his parents buy him a sewing machine and was soon designing dresses for his younger sister. He entered a few of his designs in a craft fair and the whole thing kind of exploded from there. He was “discovered” so to speak and owns a successful fashion label.

Because of his vanity, Jamie has had some tough struggles with drugs, and he also has EDNOS, but to the best of his knowledge his family is not aware of that.
๑ perѕoɴαlιтy ::
The most prominent aspect of his personality is that he is incredibly vain. He enjoys when people look at him and pay attention to him; because of this he always makes sure that he is looking his best. He really couldn't care less about other people, though he is very particular about who he dates; they have to be perfect, appearance wise, but not rival Jamie's own beauty. He is often unable to hold down relationships though, for a number of reasons, and ends up kind of just sleeping around.

He seems to lack basic people skills, unable to stand a conversation for a lengthened period of time if it is not focused on him. He'll do relatively stupid things in order to gain attention from people. His pride often gets in his own way as it makes him seem like a hypocrite at times. Jamie is hard to get along with, but since his parents are rich socialites, he has a few acquaintances - some would say friends - who are the children of his parents' friends.

All of his negative personality traits aside, Jamie has some fairly deep security issues that he would never admit to. Despite his façade he doesn’t have a positive idea of body image and is very self-loathing. His own vanity is his downfall, as he can never be perfect, and he absolutely cannot stand it. This has never surfaced, though; his pride is too strong.

Jamie designed and tailored his suit himself. It's navy blue in colour, though it has a sheen to it so that movement under light brings out the dark purples and greens in the fabric. The vest is a dark green, and his tie is a deep copper colour. The jacket of his suit has tails, the ends of which have the eyes of a peacock tail. His cufflinks are expensive emeralds inlaid with amethyst. His pocket scarf is the same green as his vest, and he's also tucked a short peacock feather in his pocket.
๑ мαsĸ ::
Jamie did also design his mask but it was made by someone else. It is vaguely based on: x The right side has the pasted explosion of green feathers; the left side is flat, painted dark blue with white arcs above and below the eye, mocking the markings of a peacock. After contemplation Jamie opted out of a beak for the design so it fits flat against his face.
๑ мodiғicαтioɴs ::
Jamie's tux jacket fell away into feathers, his coattails elongating to drag along the floor, gaining more feathers and rounding, giving him a sweeping, elegant peacock tail. White quills with thin brown stripes embed and grow from behind his shoulder blades, tuft on his shoulders and continue down his arms until just above his elbows. His mask buries itself under his skin, feathers exploding around one eye, staining the flesh surrounding the other eye dark blue with those white arcs.
