❅And if the snow buries my,
my neighbourhood.
And if my parents are crying
then I'll dig a tunnel
from my window to yours,
yeah a tunnel from my window to yours.
You climb out the chimney
and meet me in the middle,
the middle of the town.
And since there's no one else around,
we let our hair grow long
and forget all we used to know,
then our skin gets thicker
from living out in the snow.❅

❅ It's winter... ❅
In most places, Winter is just a season. For that matter, it isn't a nice season either.
But not where you live.
In fact, during Winter break is when most couples find eachother. There's always multiple parties, where all the teenagers are invited. Rivals briefly make up, social outcasts find friends, and some lucky people find that special someone.

You plan on being one of those lucky people this year.

---{{. name
"Call me Kris."
Kristopher Courtney Trought is his whole name. He's completely named after his father's side of the family. Kristopher is his Uncle's name, Courtney his great-grandmother's name, while Trought it the family name. Truthfully, he despises his name - calls it all used up and boring.
While Kris is also a fairly common nickname, it's much easier to say than Kristopher. In fact, only some people call him Kristopher; generally while he's being punished or if it's an older family member.

---{{. age
"I'm eighteen.. Yup. Still can't drink in the U.S."
His birth is an often-told story of his mum's. She's constantly talking about how he was born butt first, on December 30th. Otherwise, it was nothing special. But his birth is certainly funnier than his little sister's.

---{{. gender
"I'm a guy. I'd say you could check, but that's a bit creepy."
Kristopher might not be the most masculine guy around, but he's still a man through-and-through. He's never questioned his gender, and probably never will.

---{{. description
"I am a model."
While he does have some modelling jobs, Kris is ultimately just a bit above average looking. His nose is on the large side, and he has tiny freckles dotting his brown skin. His afro is dark brown at the roots, but an orangey-brown at the tops. He is, however, fairly tall; he stands at 6 foot 7 inches. He even looks taller with his fairly lanky figure, weighing 185 lbs.

---{{. modifications
"No."
Kristopher despises tattoos with a passion. He finds them pointless and a waste of money. He doesn't have anything against piercings, but still refuses to get any. This is probably due to the (brief) pain.

---{{. personality
"I like thinking of me as a good person."
Kris is happy. He enjoys what he gets, and doesn't often complain about what he doesn't get. Even though he doesn't talk often, his quiet yet easy-going and friendly vibe tends to attract people. Yep, he makes friends very quickly so long as they either don't mind silence, or enjoy hearing their own voice. While Kris isn't the smartest person around, he does have common sense; and a lot of people tell him their stories, resulting in him being fairly good with advice. However, as good a person as he is, he can be fairly selfish. It's usually tiny things he does, without noticing - eating the last piece of chicken without asking, or taking the extra time to go to the store for a slushie when he should be watching his younger sister.
He's very athletic - Kris runs, jogs, and walks a lot. In fact, he refuses to take the bus and refuses a drive unless it's a more than 2 hour walk or there's lightning. He also plays rugby at school, and does much of anything if it means people will take photos of him.
He also has a very intense hatred for slugs, dirty feet, and shoes; but he loves music, photos, and walking. His biggest fears are growing old, and death.

---{{. history
"My life's awesome."
Kris has always lived simply. His mother's a dark Jamaican woman, his father a Caucasian American man. Neither had an amazing job, but neither had a bad job either. They lived with the occasional larger treat, like going to visit the family in Jamaica, or going to Mexico for his younger sister's lung problem. For the most part he's had a supportive family - allowed to do the sports he wants, and they're even allowing him to persue his dream of becoming a male model so long as he also goes to college. They've lived in Orange County his whole life.
He hasn't went to college yet, nor applied. He intends to spend a year 'discovering' himself. It's a total lie - he just wants to model.

---{{. relationships
"I'm free."
Kristopher is single. He claims it gives him his 'much needed freedom'. Truthfully, it makes him a bit sad. But he does have the occasional fling - with both men and women. It works. The thought of such commitment to a single person frightens him.

---{{. other
"Uh... Nothing else, really."
One of his left toe's was broken as a child, and is now overtop the rest of them. It's the only reason he often wears shoes.

Nyra Rae Jones

:Age:

17

:Gender:

Female

:Brief Description:

Nyra is about 5'8 and is fairly slender. She has shoulder length blonde hair and vibrant blue eyes. Many consider her to be quite pretty. Nyra has one of those effortlessly gorgeous faces, she doesn't need much makeup to look good.

:Modifications:

Other than the simple ear piercing, Nyra has no other body changes. She has been thinking about getting a tattoo though.

:Personality:

Nyra is one of those golden heart kinds of people. She is genuinely a good person, she tries to see the good in everyone. She is one of those people who would gladly give up a few hours of her time to help a friend. She is the person most people go and vent their problems too. Nyra is there for her friends whether they need a shoulder to cry on or just someone to listen.
While Nyra is a good person, she is human. She does have her enemies and her bad days just like everyone else. When she has a bad day she puts on a smile and pushes through it.
Nyra is the girl who gives help but will never accept any, she gives advice, but can't take it. She likes doing things on her own and welcomes a challenge.

:History:

Nyra grew up in a fairly small town. Redford was one of those towns right on the edge of a highway; if you blinked it was gone. Growing up, Nyra only had a few close friends. The group consisted of her and 2 other girls and they were all practically inseperable. But last year, Nyra's mother died in a horrible car accident. She and her father had to move. Getting ripped from everything she knew had made Nyra appreciate life a little more, but it also made her know that you have to keep what you love close.

:Relationships:

Nyra hasn't really ever dated anyone. Yes, she has gone on dates, but nothing ever made it past stage one. Nyra never met anyone she liked enough to date long term.

:Other:

Nyra has a golden retriever named Cove.

---{{. name
"Zachary S... Call me Croaker. Or Zack."
Zachary Sherr was named after his grandfather, who died young. His father always wanted to have a kid as honorable a man as his own father, and Zack's mother agreed so long as she'd be allowed to name any siblings. However, she usually calls him Zack. Sherr is his father's family name.

Croaker was a nickname that came during puberty. He says it was to a mixture of a lot of colds, and growing, his voice often cracked; this made it sound like he was more or less croaking. Truthfully, it was a nickname his geeky friend gave him in grade seven - they were both reading a fantasy novel where the protagonist's name was Croaker. It just stuck.

---{{. age
"I'm old enough... ladies."
Zack's eighteen- he was born April 2nd. It was early morning that he was born, and his poor mum was in labour for 20 hours before they finally decided to have a c-section.
He was their first and only child. They considered adopting a few times, but ultimately chose to leave it as only him.

---{{. gender
"I don't think I look too girly - do I?"
Croaker's a guy. He's never doubted his gender, and few people ever doubt his. Sure, sometimes when he was younger people would tell his mum she had a beautiful little girl - but he liked pink, it wasn't his fault. Save for that, his mum dressed him in girly shirts.

---{{. description
"I like thinking I look good."
Zack's considered attractive, which is always good. He has dark brown eyes, and 'perfect' eyebrows (it's a secret, but he gets them done professionally). Quick to smile, his mouth and grin are often considered his best features. His hair is also fairly nice, a semi-light brown which is usually styled differently. Last but not least, Zack's 6 feet tall, and built lithe - he's thin and graceful.

However, beauty comes at a price. Zachary's often at the gym, and spends a lot of money on good dental care, going to salons, clothing, and his gym membership.

---{{. modifications
"You don't need piercings to be awesome."
Zack has no piercings.. He does, however, have a tattoo. It embarrasses him to admit it, due to where it is and -what- it is. To be specific, on his lower back, right above his butt yet still covered by shorts, is a small, black Batman logo. When people see it, he jokes that it's his tramp stamp.

---{]{. personality
"Awesome."
Zachary, generally speaking, goes with the flow. He doesn't seem particularly effected by most things - at the very least, not by things he sees as trivial. However, as Zack is a human and not some robot he does indeed get effected (quite easily actually, he's very sensitive). In lots of cases, he can just cry on a friend's shoulder. If it's stress, he'll just draw until happy again... Or work out.
He has a fairly enthusiastic outlook on life, rarely giving up when he -is- interested in anything. But he doesn't get caught up in stuff all too easily. Rather, Zack just does what he feels like. Even his 'job' is something that is low paying and what he wants, the start of a modelling career. It doesn't pay well, but lets him live as he wants to. He's fairly humorous, finding something funny in almost anything and smiling freely.
Save for that, Croaker's also very creative. He adores working with his hands, whether it's sewing, sculpting, or drawing. While he's decent at drawing and good at sculpting, it's sewing that's his real talent. Since he was a child he had been making his own costumes, and currently he often adds things to thrift-store clothing, or makes bracelets for accessories. He also has a lot of excess energy, which is part of the reason why he goes for walks daily.
He's -very- protective and devoted towards those he loves, which might be part of the reason why, as open as he is, he doesn't consider people friends easily. He finds friendship a powerful thing, and refuses to consider people he doesn't love his friends.
However, Zack's also fairly selfish. He does things for himself, with his loved ones the only people he won't be cruel to if he thinks he has to. This means that he could very well sacrifice himself for one of his friends... or sacrifice his 'friend' for him.

---{{. history
"I've lived well."Zachary grew up with divorced parents. They didn't argue in front of him, so it never really affected him or his younger sister, Susie. They lived mostly with their mum, visiting their dad during the weekends. For the most part, funds were low. His mum has always worked as a bank teller, his father a cars salesman. A few years ago, though, Zack and his mum got in a large fight. He now only visits her every second weekend, and has been living with his dad since he was fifteen. Was it not for his younger sister, he'd never visit his mum.

---{{. relationships
"I'm a free soul."
In other words, Zack isn't dating anyone. He's attracted to a lot of people , and has had a fair amount of flings - but he can only think of dating someone he likes as a person. There aren't very many people he likes the personality of.

---{{. other
"There's -really- nothing else."
The only other thing of interest is Zack's love for Batman. He can say the lines along to most of the movies, and has a lot of batman-related clothing. He's also a regular human.

---{{. name
"My name is Andrew Stephenson."
When Andrew's mother found out she was pregnant, she immediately decided she wanted to name her child after her father, Henry. For the first three weeks after knowing she was pregnant, she didn't exactly intend on telling his dad about it, but when she didn't it was decided that he would stick around. The problem was that Andrew's grandfather hated his dad and so they agreed to make 'Henry' him middle name, settling on the first name of Andrew. Stephenson is his father's name which spread to his whole family once his parents got married when his mother was 18. As he grew up, he's gained the nicknames Andy, Drew, and Chessy, due to were he was born.

---{{. age
"I'm finally free!"
Andrew is 18 years of age, born on July 18. His birth was quick, only about 12 hours since he was about 2 weeks later then his expected due date. He was born 3:46 in the morning. It was probably hard on his mother, since she was only 16 when he was born, and his dad was only 17.

---{{. gender
"Unless I've been lied to, I'm male."
Yes, Andrew has always been male. It's never really been a doubt, even as a young child. He's always had that boyish charm about him that made it difficult to doubt his gender.

---{{. description
"Don't mention my height. I know I'm short."
The first thing people ever seem to notice about Andrew is his height. He stands at a whopping five (5) foot, seven (7) inches tall. He's quite short compared to how tall everyone else seems to be, though there are people who are shorter then him, which makes him feel quite a bit better. His hair is a light brunette color, falling to just above his eyes. He's been told its very soft, which he takes pride in. His eyes are probably his most distinctive feature, yet they're simple. The color of them is a mixture of grey and blue, and they always seem to hold a mischievous gleam to them. He's also been complimented on his smile, which is actually quite adorable.

---{{. modifications
"I like my body how it is, thank you."
Drew doesn't have any piercings or tattoos. He's never been a fan of them, or needles really. He does have a few scars here and there, a couple from being laced by a baseball during one of his games as a younger kid and a even a few from basketball.

---{{. personality
"I'm freaking hilarious!"
Andrew is one of those sweet, but completely innocent boys. He doesn't quite understand dirty things and is extremely sensitive. He is best described as having four main traits.
Sensitive is but on thing many would use to explain him. He notices details easily, but that isn't the only sensitive thing about him. His feelings are very fragile, and he tends to take most things people to say to heart. He doesn't think badly of himself until someone starts talking about him. Bad things stick in his brain instantly, but good things don't take long either. His other type of sensitivity has to do with details. He notices things quickly, but usually doesn't care to analyze them.
Innocent is one thing that explains him fairly well. He lacks quite a bit of wisdom, making him like a sheltered, naive boy. He's pure, for the lack of a better word. He has his morals set straight, knows right from wrong, and has a set of good judgement. He's always open for a bit of fun, but his definition of 'fun' is coloring, playings video games, dancing like a fool, swimming, or pigging out on food.
Drew has an air of sweetness that seems to flood about him. He's kind and friendly, with a social aura. He's an open book, no figurative wall, and no small secrets. He doesn't have his secrets, but only things that most people wouldn't want shared either. He could be explained as popular, but he gained that through friendships that had been built through years of living in the same place, and his honey-like personality. His honestly makes him pleasant to be around, and he is quite youthful.
Humorous is the last thing that is used to describe him. He's a funny boy, having a comical sense of humor that could nearly light up a room. He cracks jokes at the most random times and he brings up conversations from the day before that have no relevance to current subjects. Once more, his innocence turns up in his jokes. They are normally harmless, or directed towards himself. Nothing less of friendly, most of his jokes are all corny.

---{{. history
"I'm a British boy."
It was the middle of summer in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, England by the time Andrew was born. His mother, 16 years at the time of his birth, never went back once the school year started up. His grandparents ended up kicking out his mother because of the baby, which led to his family being a lot closer to his dad's parents, who took in his mom and supported both him, and the young girl. They were a little disappointed in his parents, but they had decided to keep both him, and keep their relationship together. His mother became a stay at home mother, taking care of him while his dad finished off high school, and even went on to law school to become a lawyer. They had turned a small mishap into a better life for all three of them. It led to him having a normal childhood, growing up, going to school. He started to get into sports around the age of 8 when he began to play soccer, then went onto basketball at 10 years old, and then furthermore became a boxer and a swimmer at 11. He was extremely excited when his parents told him he'd have a little sibling when he was 12, and then 9 months later his first sibling was born, a little brother named Charlie. Just two short years after that, his youngest brother was born, a little blonde skater boy named Riley. After his siblings' births, his routine just continued on, until his family moved to America when he was 17 years old.

---{{. relationships
"Random fact, I'm bisexual."
Andrew is currently single, with no crush. He's only just started dating people when he was 16 and all his relationships where spread out within the two years. He's only had about 3, one of which was the same gender. Most of the people he's dated were sweet people, though not as innocent as he is.

---{{. other
"I'm a boxer!"
Starting at 11 years old, Andrew started to box. He's quite good at it and has a lot of experience. He's actually gotten plenty of bruises from it, even broken his nose a few times. He's a bit of a sporty kid, and plays basketball, football, and swims. He doesn't really like American Football though, whether it be watching it or playing it.
