Never Mess With a Gamer

"There has been a kind of stereotypical 'gamer dude'
that has been representative for the gamer community in the years past.
But I want to spearhead or be a part of changing that."

Female II Age 18 II Height 5'7" Weight 107 lbs
Nicollette, who goes by Nicole, is a bit of a dork.
She plays video games, and can do
just about anything with technology.
She speaks in "code", and longs for
someone to laugh at her Xbox jokes.
She lives with her single mom and
her cat, Sky {short for Skyrim}.
She is sweet, unless you mess
with her heart. Once, a guy
cheated on her. So she stole
his Xbox. He said "You don't
need two Xboxes!" And she said
"You don't need two girlfriends."
So yeah, be nice to her.
Her favorite color is green, her
lucky number is 3. She mostly eats
things like pizza and cheeseburgers
but she isn't fat. She would be, but
she has a problem that keeps her from
gaining very much weight.
She has piercings in her ears and nose, but doesn't wear jewelry very often. Her style is mostly ripped up jeans and graphic t-shirts with converse. She always has her hair down, but puts it in a braid on special occasions. She and her best friend had a bet that whomever falls in love first gets a tattoo, so she's hoping to win. She doesn't want to mark up her body like that, her mother would kill her!

Rose was born in a quiet home with many brothers and sisters. Her parents were a lovely Akita mother and a stray German Shepherd father. Rose's owners were good-hearted, but not very good with dirt. Rose was very dirty, liking to go outside and get muddy. The owners decided to just keep her inside, but she needed exercise. In order to get rid of her energy, she tore around the house constantly. Chewing things, making messes, and running across the rooms were just a few problems. By the time she was one year old, Rose was abandoned on the doorstep of the ASPCA. But before any workers saw her, she scrambled out of the box she'd been left in and ran off. Nobody ever knew she was there.

As months passed, Rose found the best way to avoid danger was to run. Her long legs were good for this, and she developed muscle as time went on. Though named after a flower, she's anything but delicate. She doesn't socialize much, though she'll travel with other dogs if she can get more food. She's never been good at scavenging, and prefers to steal instead. A flash of color, and suddenly your food is ripped right from under your nose. That is how Rose learned to survive.

ＤＥＳＣＲＩＰＴＩＯＮ } her legs and belly arewhite, white ginger-brown and black patches along her back neck and face. After living on the streets, her coat is dirty and matted, but with a proper grooming she would prove to be a beautiful fae. Her eyes are a typical dark brown. Her legs are long and slender. She has some muscle, but she is underfed, and therefore pretty skinny.
ＴＨＥＭＥ ＳＯＮＧ } Paramore- Ignorance
This song describes Rose because of her tough attitude and lack of trust towards others.
ＰＲＯＢＬＥＭＳ } Rose doesn't interact well with others. If she'd been raised with her family and friends instead of abandoned, she might be a very kind and happy dog. Instead she is wary and short-tempered.

Coal was born with one brother, in an alley during the state's coldest winter in decades. Coal was named for his black coat, while his brother was named Ash for his gray one. Coal's mother was a mixed breed of many different types, but Coal never met his father. When he was only a few weeks old his mother was caught by a dog catcher. Coal and his brother were raised by other strays, who taught them to scavenge for food. It was easier when they were cute little puppies, but as they grew older they became more ragged and dirty. Coal soon learned the cruelty of humans when his brother was shot for trespassing on a farm. Coal never went near humans again, not even for food. He traveled only at night, where he could blend in and worry less about people. Alone and depressed, he moved deeper into the heart of the city, where he lives in side alleys, never settling down.

Coal is a cautious brute, but not mean. He stays away from all animals other than dogs. He's happy to help young pups who were abandoned like him. He can be tough if he needs to, but doesn't see the point in fighting for no reason. He's afraid to make friends, because he thinks he'll lose them like he lost his mother and sibling. He hopes to at least find a place where he can stay for a long period of time, but most "homes" are too dangerous for him to remain long-term. His nervousness and wary personality make him a good loner.

ＤＥＳＣＲＩＰＴＩＯＮ } The definition of black; his eyes, nose, pelt, claws, and paw-pads. His ancestry is a mess of strays and mixed-breeds, but his features hint at Russian and German origins. He has thick muscle and scars beneath his fur, which is thick with dust from the city pollution.
ＴＨＥＭＥ ＳＯＮＧ } My Chemical Romance- I'm Not Okay
This song describes his reluctance to associate himself with others, though deep down he just wants a companion.
ＰＲＯＢＬＥＭＳ } Coal's past haunts him, and he can rarely sleep because of the nightmares he receives. That combined with his lack of regular meals makes him scrawny and sick-looking, which doesn't make humans any more affectionate.

Andrea is pretty tough. She knows
how rare it is for a girl to make it past
Launchie. She also knows that the other
students will take advantage of her if she
doesn't hold her own. That's why she doesn't
take things lying down. She's gotten in fights
before, but she's usually pretty in control. She
isn't as good as the famous Ender Wiggins, but
her Army respects her. She is a toon leader in
the Griffin Army. She knows that the "teachers"
are just using the students, but she doesn't care.
She would rather be here than on Earth. Andrea
joined the school at age seven, later than most
kids because her parents didn't want her to go.
She is an only child, and (strangely) always wanted
to learn to fight buggers in the school. She knew
the risks, and finally got to go. Her parents felt
betrayed because she left them, and never tried to
contact her. At first, she was depressed, but now she
knows better. If you don't have any family to miss,
you won't be distracted. You can fight better if you
have nothing else to focus on.

Andrea is now a part of Commanding Agent
Amanda's team. She is still feisty, but now
instead of yelling and insulting, she gets
very quiet. Her silent treatment lets you
know she is angry, and if you still keep
annoying her, that's when things get messy.
The 19 year old's job on the team is basically
the violence. She comes in if the team is
outnumbered and needs defense. She mostly
does hand to hand combat, but is trained to
use almost every weapon in the military. She
has a thing for Aaron Reese, but so far they
haven't dated. They might have, but when
they were put on the team, training got intense
and she didn't have the time to be as social.
He is probably the only person she would ever
be nice to.

First: Andrea (on-drey-uh)
Middle: Katie
Last: Sax

Ian Thorne was born on May 4th, in a small town of Texas. Both of his parents were from the east and had recently moved south, so he grew up without a southern accent. He might have had one if he wasn't taken to battle school. Growing up, his mother always told him a soldier was the best thing you could be, so Ian knew he would have to go to battle school someday. He mostly focused on intelligence, as he would rather work with technology and strategy than fight. When he was four his parents had a daughter named Alyssa, but he always called her Lyss. He loved her more than anyone, but when he went to battle school he knew he would probably never see her again. After his Launchie training he joined Phoenix army. He wasn't the best fighter, but his high intelligence helped him move up in the ranks. Phoneix wasn't the best army, so he was chosen to Command it when he turned fifteen. He helped get the army to fifth place for a while, until Dragon army showed up. Ian was a quiet and thoughtful commander, and many soldiers didn't think he was good enough. That made his self-esteem get lower, and soon he didn't think he was very good, either. One of his soldiers liked him, though. A girl named Brooke, just about his only friend. He asked for her advice, and the two worked hard to make Phoenix army better. Later Ian graduated and joined a team of Agents with Brooke and some other friends from battle school. The smart young man is now eighteen, and manages tracking and communications in the team. He is learning basic medical skills as well, in case the team is far away from a hospital during an emergency. He is dating Brooke.

Amanda Chaffer was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. She was born on March 22nd, and loved music from an early age. She learned to play piano, violin, guitar, as well as learning how to sing. She wrote songs as a little kid, though being a child she couldn't write very good ones. Because she was a fast learner, good at planning, and had the right mindset, she was chosen for battle school. Her best friend Anthony went with her, but soon abandoned her, leaving a bitter place in her heart. She was put into Salamander army and had a crush on Aaron Reese, her commander. After a while she realized he would never like her back, so she got over him and focused on training. She was a good sharpshooter, but wanted to get a higher rank. Then she met Ender Wiggin. He offered to give her some battle advice and practice with her during free time. They soon developed a friendship. Whenever someone mocked Ender behind his back, she was the one telling them off. After a long time she started to like him, and just as the two started a relationship, he was taken away by Colonel Graff to save the world. She knew in her heart that day that she wasn't good enough to work with Ender. So she trained even harder to memorize every move he'd ever taught her. She created new techniques, moved higher up in her army until she was just below Aaron. She barely slept, and never took a moment off. She just trained and studied constantly until she graduated. She was chosen to Command a team of Agents, working behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly. And then came the day when the 20 year old and her team were told to track down a rogue soldier...
Ender.

is what you would call the popular guy.
He flirts with girls (there aren't that many in
battle school though) and is very cocky.
He is a good fighter, but tends to get distracted.
One time, he got frozen because he was staring
at a certain girl, and his commander was so mad
that he traded William off. William stepped up
his game then, and doesn't get distracted by girls
or anything else, in a battle. Practice, however, is
a different story. Anyway, he hopes to be a major
commander someday. He would never admit it,
but he looks up to Aaron and Ender a lot.
Will grew up in the big city of Los Angeles. His parents
wanted him to go to battle school, so they tried to
make him perfect. He got good grades and was very
athletic. It must have worked, because he got in.
He had a little brother, but the boy was killed in
a massive earthquake. William doesn't remember
his brother very much, but still misses him.

When Will graduated he was put on Amanda's team. He was given the task of strategy. Before each mission he would look up all of the info, read every necessary file, and then plan the attack according to the information he learned. He has some fighting skills, but doesn't use them often. He admires Scarlett a lot, and hopes to get closer to her. He strongly dislikes Andrea, and the two are always fighting. But Will is very loyal to his team, and would take a bullet for even Andrea if she was in danger. The nineteen year old is kind and likes to joke around. He and Brooke are the lighthearted ones, and he likes to ease tension by making jokes and teasing.

Alyssa has gone through a few changes
as of late. A happy girl, popular but still a bit
of a nerd. With a wonderful older brother, a
loving mother, and a pet cat named Sky.
She got good grades, was usually nice, and didn't
believe in stereotypes. She was tough, but not a
bully. Each day began with school at Coates academy,
where all the rich kids go. She had her life planned
out- she was going to be a photographer, have two
kids and live happily ever after.

Age is 16, her birthday is in May, on the 2nd.
Looks are as seen above, brunette with blue eyes.
Her power is telepathy, reading the minds of others.

ᵗʰᵉᶰ ᶤᵗ ʰᵃᵖᵖᵉᶰᵉᵈˑ
Blinked out. They all just vanished, every one.
As she walked home from school, every adult
vanished. Cars wrecked and children cried as the
world practically fell apart. And as it happened, Alyssa
changed. The toughness became a cold shell, her brains
were used for strategy. Powers developed. Suddenly
she could hear the thoughts of others, the deepest
secrets, desires, and fears. She was telepathic.
Much like everything else nowadays, she isn't open
about her power. She doesn't have much use for it, but
she knows someday it may come in handy.
