the basics

» Matthew James Dobbs «
- He has a few nicknames, but he usually just goes by Matt.
- He's male, both physically and mentally.
- Born June 31st, under the astrological sign of cancer. He is now 17 years old.

Matt was born to teen parents, mother being sixteen and father being eighteen. Because of
this, he'd always gotten plenty of attention from his grandparents and other family members.
However, the only affection he couldn't win was from both his parents. They neglected to take
care of him for the most part, so he did everything he could to get their attention. Making jokes
and goofing around became part of his daily routine and eventually became a part of his
personality. However, this didn't do much to get his parents to pay more attention to him.
Owns many different kinds of dogs and cats, but his first rescue is his dog, Dodge.

+ Generally optimistic, humorous, loyal/caring.
- Disruptive, self-deprecating, unpredictable.

Quirks:
- Eyes dart quickly back and forth when lying.

» Moira ; Female ♀ ; 17 ♌ «

the basics

» Moira Anne Thompson «
- Doesn't have a nickname, so don't call her anything but Moira.
- She's female, both physically and mentally.
- Born August 6th, under the astrological sign of leo. She is now 17 years old.

Moira (pronounced /mai-ruh/) is a very sullen girl; her temperament matching that of a storm cloud.
She's a force to be reckoned with, willing to throw insults back at someone who attempts to insult or
harass her. Born to "punk-rock" advocates, her parents were pleasantly pleased to find their daughter
to have very choice fashion and music taste. While she may be similar to her parents in this way, her
morals and personality far contrast. At a young age, she became fascinated with making messes with
her hands. Dipping her fingers in paint and smearing it around; that was her idea of fun. As she got
older, she kept her hobby of painting and drawing. While she does create portraits or paintings of
others or characters, she can't help but deny the rush she gets from spray-painting. Even though
she's been caught by the police a few times, she's always slipped free without charges pressed.

romatics

» Bisexual «

Moira came out publically around the age of fourteen; her love for both men and women is undeniable.
Not many know of their sexuality at that young of an age, but she quickly found she had a wide span of
love for her female friends; they quickly shunned her for this and she found a new group of friends.

- Currently not in a relationship.

She may contain the urge to run away,
But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks.
Cetirizine, your fever's gripped me again.
Never kisses—all you ever send are full stops.
- Alt-J

» H I S T O R Y «

The majority of Charlie's life was spent moving around the country and settling
into new places. Not given much of a chance to make friends, she focuses as much
as she can on her school work, just trying to keep up with whatever school she's
recently been placed in. Definitely used to different kinds of atmospheres and
the different kind of people that reside within a school, she would have no issue
fitting in somewhere if she were to stay longer than half a year. Her father is a
lawyer and his customers are sporadic, so they move around often in order for
him to get new clients. Due to moving around so often, her mother has adapted
to being a stay-at-home wife for her and her older brother and younger sister.
While Charlie would love to be involved in sports, she chooses to stay out most
of the time so when she moves, she doesn't let down her team.
Her mother's name is Anne, father's name is Joseph, brother's name is Daniel,
and sister's name is Nicky. She helped take care of her sister often, but never
felt particularly close to her brother Daniel. She hopes eventually her family
will stop moving around.

» B I O G R A P H Y «

Daniel loves socialization. He'll bathe in it almost any chance he can, whether
it be with his pets or other people. His pets include a German shepherd puppy (Jax),
his tabby cat (Castiel), and his white rat (Cabbage). Jax is a family pet, belonging
to everyone, not just Daniel. Castiel is another family pet, but most of the attention
that he gets comes from Dan's sister, Sadie. Dan is the only one in his family who
will even go near Cabbage, so she's all his, and he loves her to death.

Aside from his younger sister Sadie (13 years), he has two other sisters. Trish is
the youngest, about three years old, and Sasha, who is twenty years old. Daniel and
his siblings come from a considerably wealthy family, but they don't bother to
flaunt it off or brag about it. Danny in particular is rather reserved and could care
less about financial standings; he's made friends with people who have lived on the
streets before. Daniel's stepmother is a neurologist, and his father works in the
same hospital as her as an ophthalmologist.

When Danny was five years old, his biological mother got into a car accident on her
way to work and passed only minutes after being rushed to a hospital. Danny was
very close to his mother at his age, as any young boy is, and asked his father months
after where his mother was at, and when she was coming home. Eventually, his
father stopped answering so he felt no need to keep asking. Danny was thirteen years
old when his father, Steve, met Katherine. They got married after two years of
dating and knowing each other. While Danny respects Katherine, she's more of a
friend to him than a mother figure; no one could ever replace his biological mother.

Friends aren't hard to find for Danny, as he's generally kind to everyone, at least to
their faces. If you're nice to him, he'll be nice to you. It doesn't take much, however,
to make him begin to dislike you. You could do something small, such as make an
ill-minded racist joke, and you'd get the boot. While he doesn't participate in it
himself, he loves to hear gossip and rumors about other people. It helps him get to
know people more before they get to know him, giving him the advantage.

Daniel is quite athletic. While his build isn't large, he is fairly quick and has good
stamina. He participates in soccer and track. Due to the sports being in the same
season, the two often conflict. He'll always choose a soccer game over a track meet,
as it's his preferred and main sport. While he's sporty, he also enjoys theater and
choir. He participates solely in the school's main choir group as a tenor.

→ Generally a nice person, unless he doesn't like you.
→ Plays soccer and track during the spring season.
→ Participates and theater and choir groups.
→ Owns a red 2006 Honda Civic.
→ Loves food.

Lacey's family has owned a farm for almost as long as she can remember, meaning her parents have farmed for
at least eighteen years. She's done her part helping, mainly with the animals. Her pets are her best friends, taking
priority over her social life and anything else she takes interest in. Reina and Rome are her two border collies. Reina,
the female, is very calm and even-minded. She doesn't play much, and would much rather lay around and relax
than play. Rome, the male, on the other hand, has a personality that far contrasts with his mate, Reina. He's
playful and seems to be blessed with an endless supply of energy; it's hard to wear him out. Lacey also has
two horses, a thoroughbred mare named Jean, and a draft cross mare named Doll, who she's owned
since she was five years old. Riding is her sense of escape, she likes to do it alone.

While she may be dubbed a "popular kid" due to her clothes and sense of presence, she's fairly kind. She's
often said to be "evil," just due to the people that she hangs out with. Not many people who have made these
assumptions have even bothered to know Lacey as a person. Often soft spoken, she's very fragile. Flirting
comes easily to her, but she also knows how to hold a friendship with another without it getting intimate.
Lacey does have trust issues, however, so she may push people away when they try to get close to her.
Broken promises from her parents, who swore to stop fighting after being caught in a physical argument
by their ten year old daughter, have made her weary to others and what they say. She can't take promises
light-heartedly, and would be broken to find out that someone had betrayed her.

In words of relationships, Lacey's had plenty. She's both received and given heartache to those she has
loved. Often times she regrets ending a relationship, but she doesn't like to feel uncomfortable dating
somebody who she doesn't really like. She won't hesitate to break up with someone once she's set her
mind to do it, and this goes for friends too.

The middle child of his married parents, Logan often finds himself alone. He doesn't object however, as he
finds his older sister (who has long since graduated and moved out) drama-inducing, and his younger sister
annoying. Logan lives in a two story home in the middle of an urbanized area, about a mile away from large
shopping malls, stores, and busy traffic. He often escapes the loud noise and fast-paced life by taking his
windhound, Darling, for walks along the trails. Darling is his best friend, and he wouldn't go anywhere
without her if he can do something about it. While he does love his family and friends, he often turns
toward his pet for comfort, as there's a lack of judgement.

Logan grew up in a big city full of people. The schools that he grew up in held the same rules: eat or be eaten.
He didn't learn this, however, until he came across a group of friends who decided that being eaten was the far
better option. Throughout middle school, he was bullied: called names, spit on, dunked in the toilet. He went
through all of this without a peep, hoping they'd stop if he just accepted it. It didn't take long for his family to
discover his harassment, and they moved as soon as middle school was over. During high school, Logan lived in
the same city he does now. However, he still tends to keep to himself. Socialization doesn't come easily, as he
didn't do it a lot with people who weren't close to him as a kid, and it's hard for him to open up to others.

Logan is easily embarrassed, especially at the sound of romance. Whenever someone asks him about why he
doesn't date, he just shakes his head. There was a time when Logan thought about girls, and getting married,
but now the thought of it makes him uneasy. If someone were to love him, it would take a lot of patience for
him to cop up to his feelings. Even if he feels the same, it may take a while for him to admit it to himself.
