name noah lombardo age eighteen gender male ethnicity english/italian
sexuality heterosexual

noah is the kind of guy who would rather stay at home playing video games than go
to a party. let's just say, he's an introvert. but though he may not have the people-
skills, he does have the strength and physique of your typical gym-goer. noah is, despite
his father's ethnicity may suggest, a quiet guy. he's independent and relies mainly on
himself, as he has become accustomed to doing throughout his school years. he can
be easily-angered and flustered, especially when around crowds, and prefers sitting
off to the side to devise on his own and keep himself from getting into arguments.

height 5'10
hair medium brown
eyes brown
skin tan
physique heavily built/brawny but not too noticeably so

name matteo rodríguez age sixteen gender male ethnicity american/spanish
sexuality bisexual

matteo is the party animal. he is loud and outgoing, and in contrast to noah, very
sociable. he is a also bit of a gentleman - while sober. but despite his extroverted
nature, he is a bit of a bookworm and enjoys a bit of downtime to himself without
anyone else knowing. matteo does not cope well under pressure, but given time, he can
come up with original ideas. he is often a victim of peer pressure from his popular
friends, and while most underlying students look up to him as confident and perhaps
even obnoxious, he does deal with family issues quite strongly, making him
emotionally vulnerable.

height 6'0

eyes hazel
skin light-tan
physique slightly built, skinny waist with average muscle build
hair dark brown

name lana bisognin age seventeen gender female ethnicity italian sexuality heterosexual

lana can be cold and often sarcastic to whomever she pleases. she isn't obnoxious or self-
obsessed, but she finds it hard to grow strong relationships with people, and because of
this she finds it hard to make friends. she doesn't trust easily, and only confides in or
speaks freely amongst those she does trust - so, very few people receive this honour. she
likes to input her ideas and doesn't back down from a fight easily, despite being a measly
5'4. she may lack height and muscle, but she doesn't lack determination or will. she also
has intelligence on her side, which is nice.

height 5'4
hair light brown
eyes deep brown
skin lightly tanned
physique slight with a thin waist but well-defined legs

VALENTINA SCHNEIDER.

Val’s eyes opened. ”Well, this is just great!” Her voice was simmering with angry
sarcasm. She was still in the same tiny tin trash can that she had been in before she blacked out. She didn’t know what had caused
her to faint-she wasn’t any scientist-but she guessed it had something to do with her (and the other ninety-nine teenagers that had
gotten to take a short nap as well) hurtling through space at extremely high speeds. She looked around. Some people were screaming,
some were shouting, some were praying, some were crying, and some, like her, were sitting quietly, waiting for something to happen.
She shut her eyes, trying to remove herself from the situation. She wanted so badly not to be where she was at the moment. She
didn't regret what she had done to get here... but she regretted being caught. If only she had been more careful-she'd still be on the
Ark, blissfully unaware that a group of teenage delinquents was being sent to the ground to become the first people to set foot on
Earth in a long, long time.

noah lombardo

Noah inhaled then exhaled, heart pumping faster than he would imagine possible. He stole a glance around the shuttle, eyes darting between and occasionally meeting with the other teens seated around the shuttle. He knew that there were ninety-nine other teenage delinquents onboard what he imagined was a shuttle. He had only caught a short glimpse of the large metal thing on which they were hurriedly boarded before being sent hurtling through space towards the earth. Some appeared just as confused as he, while others were crying, screaming or shouting. He sat in his seat silently, seatbelt strung loosely across his body and lap. No one knew exactly why they were in this situation, but he had a small idea, at least. The Ark was crowded, he knew - more so than it had been a hundred years ago when it was first created. The human beings to survive the global nuclear disaster boarded the Ark and lived there, watching over the earth as they circled in its orbit. Now, scientists wanted to know whether the earth was inhabitable. So - Noah's eyes narrowed at this - they sent the people aboard the Ark that were of least value to them. The prisoners, of course. Noah's crime wasn't serious, unlike some of the others committed by the less civil teens. He was caught stealing a loaf of bread and some soup from the kitchen for his family - especially his younger sister, Maddie. She was ill, but of course, they couldn't take her to a medic as she was... illegal. You were only allowed one child per family on the Ark, and she was the second. Noah exhaled deeply once more, releasing his fist that he didn't realise he was clenching the entire time. Perhaps his leaving was for the best.

matteo rodríguez

"Hey." Matteo was making the most of the once-in-a-lifetime trip down to the earth. I mean, they would most likely be killed upon landing, so what was the point in worrying so much? His seatbelt floated aimlessly out of his chair as he floated across the Shuttle, along with a few others following his example. He used the ceiling and walls to travel, occasionally hitting someone as he did. He earned a few disgusted looks from that, but hey - he was making the most of what were most likely his last minutes alive. He spotted a brown-haired girl emerging from a tiny trash can on one side of the shuttle and travelled over, greeting her. She appeared to be frustrated, and he could guess why. Of course the hundred teenage prisoners were chosen to be sent down to the earth; they were of no value to scientists or those guys who controlled the Ark. They'd committed crimes, and along with their prison time, this was their punishment. Or so they thought. Matteo was glad to be sent down, either to die or to be free from the adults' judgemental gazes. They were just a group of delinquent teens. Now, they were free.

DIEM.

They hit the atmosphere. Diem screamed as the whole shuttle jolted, shutting her eyes tight. Her palms were sweating profusely.
She leaned back her head, trying to steady her breathing. Their descent sped up significantly-she could feel the gravity pulling
them downwards. They were going to die. They were going to die. They were going to die. She teared up a bit, but managed to
hold back the swell of tears that she wanted so badly to cry out.

The torture continued for a few more moments before-boom. The whole aircraft shook as it hit the ground. Diem gritted her
teeth, preparing for something to happen-but nothing did. All was silent and still. Blinking, she unbuckled her seatbelt and shot to
her feet, then ran towards the shuttle door.

Ninety-nine other teenagers joined her by the door, crowding around and whispering amongst themselves. No one was going to open
it, so Diem, biting her lip, turned and, after a bit of struggling, pushed the door open.

Bright sunlight streamed into the fallen aircraft. Diem, squinting, stepped outside.

Her breath was taken away. The first thing she noticed was the air. It was clean, and pure-she inhaled lungfuls of it as she walked
forward. Underneath her feet was a springy green carpet. Grass. She remembered learning somewhere about it. Grinning, she
turned back to the others, who had begun to pour outside. "We're home!"

The Ark hadn't been their home-this place was. Earth.

lana bisognin

"Home." Once, Lana had called the Ark her home. But now, after a short glimpse of what lay beyond the shuttle door, she knew that she had been lying to herself the entire time. The dew-covered grass was soft under her brown boots, and, along with the others, she bent down to touch it, to feel it for herself. It was cold, wet, but... refreshing. Real. Unlike anything she had ever touched or seen on the Ark. She rose, and gazed around at the groups' surroundings. She had heard about the wonder of the earth in countless books and articles, but seeing it for herself - it was different, truly different. It was magical.

She wanted to cry from joy, to shout out and smile, laugh, hug everyone around her - but she kept it in, containing her ecstatic feelings, and allowing herself a small smile instead. Some of the other teens were doing exactly what she wanted so badly to, but no. She didn't know these people. They didn't know her. She inhaled deeply through her nose, then exhaled through her mouth. As wondrous as this place was - with its fresh, purified air and bright green scenery, so contrasted with the Ark - they had so many things to do and build before their life here was to truly begin. For one, they'd have to build homes and numerous other buildings, not to mention finding edible food - if there was any, and if they lasted that long. I mean, for all they knew, the radiation was only slightly lessened and they would be dead within a few hours.

Besides, they needed a leader. Perhaps not for the whole time they lived here, but for now, while things had to be built and sorted out, having someone to lead and organise would be more than ideal. Someone strong, someone fierce, someone who was not afraid to stand up to those delinquents who would most definitely attempt to break the peace, to take away the chance at living a peaceful life here. Because that was what they wanted, and that was what they were going to get.
