Personality :
Imagine an inferiority complex. Give it arms, legs, and a face, and you have Jacob. Bitter, cynical, and snarky, Jacob knows he doesn't fit in at Black Mill. He knows he's poor, and he almost relishes in it. He'll take every opportunity to tear down the spoiled brats he goes to school with, and most of his actions are commanded by pure, unfiltered spite. But there is good in him. He's quite intelligent, as he got here on a full academic scholarship. He can be open and empathetic with other people, when he isn't hiding behind his anger.
Short Biography :
Jacob was born to a working class, devoutly Christian household, and has only really known poverty. His father is...his father is an ass, and that's putting it lightly. Much of Jacob's issues stem from him, and much of what he does is to spite his old man. Despite this, he loved him mother, and did his best in school for her. Turns out he was quite the intellectual, and Jacob prided himself on this. His father's disgust with academics only pushed Jacob to try even harder, and this all culminated when the Hughes household got a letter in the mail from Black Mill academy. Turns out Jacob was getting a free ride for his Junior and Senior years. His father was of course reluctant, but he gave in after a bit. Jacob knows exactly what he's getting into: a school full of rich, entitled assholes, and he's almost giddy to take a shot at them.

Character Description / Image :
Noya is five feet, two inches tall with a neat hourglass figure and feminine features, and is 127lbs. She takes a bit more after her father than she does her mother, fairer skin and light gray eyes. But she has her mothers higher cheekbones and strong nose. For the most part, her skin is blemishless, callouses built up in her fingertips and toes, but those start standard of someone who can play the piano, harp, and does ballet. Her back however, has the most interesting feature. Three long jagged scars, peppered with other smaller scars. It's been healed, but they were from the last few years, and no matter how much her mother tried to get them to fade, they wouldn't. Noya wears them as a badge of pride. Twitter Handle :

Personality :
Noya on the surface is an easy woman to figure out. She's calm and collected under pressure and threats, you could wave a gun in her face and hardly get a reaction; strong-willed isn't quite enough to explain it. Noya has what most people call, resting bitch face, it's easy to assume that she doesn't like anyone. Cold glares are not uncommon, neither are polite smiles. Though if you get one's of those, she might be planning to kill you. Noya is often looking down her nose at the other rich kids running around Black Mill, not because she thinks she's better than them but because she doesn't have time to deal with them. She's focused on her school work and extra activities, driven and ambitious, she often forgets to relax sometimes.
Her friendship, trust, and loyalty are all hard fought to gain. Growing up the way she did, surrounded by security and a long list of protocols has bred some paranoia. However, if you manage to break though the various walls she has built up, you might be surprised. Noya's intense nature never really let's go, but you learn she has a softer side. She likes to teach others the skills she's learned. Noya likes to cook for her friends, particularly food she knows they wouldn't have experienced before. Dancing is what she does to unwind, and she has a tendency to casually show off whether she realizes it or not. And her favorite color, is pink. Soft pink. Under the first layers of her personality, she's a rather compassionate and caring girl who's is never allowed to let her emotions get the best of her. Not that Noya is complaining. Likes :

Becoming exactly like her mother Ambitions :

Short Biography :
Born in Tel Aviv, Isreal, Noya has spent a majority of her privileged life between Isreal and France. A luxurious life of the best education her parents could buy, many many extra lessons to make sure she stood out from the common rabble. Her parents cared for her, and she grew up in the world of diplomats, political intrigue, and annoyingly up tight parties. But Noya thrived in it from the moment she started getting involved. Of course, not everything was ideal. Assassination attempts on all three of them, death threats, being kidnapped twice, and surviving an IED at age 12 has made her life interesting. But so did everything else. When she turned 14, Noya was sent to Black Mill for her freshman year of high school, but then the following year she was taken to Paris after an attempt on her life was made in the states. It was a big deal, but since the offending party had been apprehended, Noya was allowed to return to Black Mill.
Other :
- Noya was raised Jewish, but doesn't follow any religion. She does often still eat kosher, and still wears a Star of David necklace, but other wise you would most likely not know of her background.
- Noya plays the piano and the harp, both of which calm her down
- She speaks five different languages. English, French, Hebrew, Arabic, and German.
- Noya is not only skilled in Ballet but Ballroom dancing, and likes to teach others how to
- Noya has diplomatic immunity thanks to her parents. Though she tends not to abuse it. Relationships : Ambassador Sairya Avarham - A 42 year old Israeli national, Sairya is an ambassador for her country in both France and America. A popular name in international circles, she's a cold and calculated woman who has a reputation of always getting the job done. She is not the most affectionate woman, but she would do anything for her husband and daughter. Noya looks up to her mother, despite a few strained patches in their lives, and aspires to follow in her mother's foot steps. Jean de Leon - A 50 year old, left wing politician famous for fighting discriminatory policies and pulling an Iron Man by changing directions of an inherited arms manufacture. He started focusing on producing and providing aid for countries harmed by war, and most of his efforts were out in the middle east. It was how he met Sairya after all. Noya loves her father, he's more easy going and affectionate than her mother, but holds Noya to the same standards.

Personality :
James has that love him or hate feeling. If you're popular or an athlete most likely you'll like him. With his investment banker father and being a highly sought after recruit has given James an ego and a big one at that. Whether it's official or unofficial James is the self-proclaimed party king. He drinks hard, perhaps a bit too hard at times. Besides his obsession with alcohol, James has a thing for the ladies. It is rare to see him without one if he doesn't have a girl he is on the prowl looking for one.
Short Biography :
James is an only child and has only one parent, his father Lawrence. His mother took off with the pool boy to the Caribbean when he was younger. James and his father's relationship if you could call it that, was Lawerence throwing money at his son. Which suited the boy fine. James had got what he wanted when he wanted it.
With his father never being home it gave him freedom, probably more than he needed. With no supervision, the rules didn't apply to him. If he got in trouble dear old dad would make a healthy donation to the right hands and James was free to be reckless again. Needless to say, this has happened a few times.

[div class="tabContents tabContents3"][div class=scroll][div class=tag]personality[/div] If the word bitch had a physical representation, it would surely have a picture of Jasmine Mahalia plastered right next to it. She knows that, it's not anything new to her. Does it bother her? No. It flatters her and if anyone had the gall to think that calling her a bitch would be an insult, they would wind up blacklisted just like the numerous people that she has stepped over in her pursuit of hedonism. She's extremely determined and strong-willed, when she wants something she gets it and if no one's going to do it for her than she damn well is going to do it for herself. She very independent in her daily life and relies on practically no one when it comes to personal matters. In Jasmine's eyes, the one person who can be trusted is Jasmine. There are only very few people she cares for, and they must bare the unfortunate curse of Jasmine caring for them. Because when she cares - she cares with all her love. That being said though, she isn't afraid to step on toes or to fully trample her way over people to get what she wants. After all, she's Jasmine Mahalia and she always comes first no matter what.

[div class="tabContents tabContents4"][div class=scroll][div class=tag]backstory[/div] Jasmine would call herself a modern success story. She remembered being a kid and working in laborious conditions with her mother to produce fast fashion that brands could profit off. If a t-shirt sold for Β£20 then jasmine wouldn't even see 20 pence of that return to her and her mothers pockets. It wasn't always bad though, she remembered playing in the paddy fields with her mum and running until she couldn't anymore. Gasping not only from being out of breath from the running but also because she was giggling too hard. It would always get her when her mum would tickle her on the sides - so much that sometimes she would forget that there were people calling her a 'bastard' and a 'half-breed' behind her back. It used to get to her a lot, not having a father figure and having to endure the after effects of him leaving. A girl all alone with her mother, trying to earn a minimum wage to at least have a meal for the day. What really hit her though, was when her mother passed away. It was a winters morning and when the first snowflake fell, Jasmine's mother would take her last breath. Jasmine then began to isolate herself for a very long time until she was adopted by a couple from America - the Van Houston family. She suddenly came home to a world that was much different than hers. It was clean for one, she had toys, she had siblings and she had a chance. She had a chance to make it all last. So from a young age Jasmine repeatedly made and designed clothes until her designs were picked up by a popular fashion house. She's been living large ever since. That isn't to say that a little bit of nepotism didn't have a hand in her being picked up by said fashion house.

Julietβs demeanour is much like her voice, often distant and dreamy. She is usually seen as being more aloof in personality and indifferent to other people β however this couldnβt be further from the truth. As her mother describes, Juliet is a girl who feels too much in a world that tramples over a hint of emotion β because kindness and emotions are weakness. Itβs because of this Juliet usually has her guard up, to protect her small heart from the commentβs she first found herself shielding from when her family first got money. Commentβs on social etiquette and accents and mannerisms and how she would always be a βworking class girlβ. She usually finds herself drifting away from a conversation which she doesnβt find interesting. Juliet, unlike her brother who aims for higher place in society, chose to listen to the words her mother when they first became wealthy. Juliet wouldnβt be able to get anywhere by herself, she would need to marry rich. Nowadays Juliet will mostly respond to people she considers to be βsuitorsβ.

Personality:
Sean is a rebel without a cause. He doesn't even know why he is so agitated all the time just that he is. Oddly enough he is a free spirit also. Hiding the dark shadows of his life with bad jokes and puns. Fearless would be an attribute of his as well. He prefers spending time with others than going home, it isn't uncommon to see him in the same clothes two days in a row because of this.
Bio:
Sean comes from the textbook definition of a broken home. His mother had left when he was five and has no memory of her. His father had been an active figure in the IRA. Raising him to the ripe age of 12 when he had been arrested in the middle of the night. Leaving the young man in a series of foster homes for a year.
It wasn't until he ditched the forth family and his mother came back to claim the young man. His mom now a b-list actor tried raising him for several years by herself with little to no success. In that time a wealthy entrepreneur had met his mother and after three months they married and moved to the U.S.
Sean spent the last month attending school the previous year and is coming back again. Still fairly new he doesn't know many people but he plans on making a big appearance by streaking in front of the entire school at some point.

Born in California in the midst of the American upper-class and being the son of the CEO of the Air Force's biggest defense contractor (Propulsion Dynamics), the pressure of life was applied to Will right from the start. People looking to influence or intimidate his father used him as an easy tool. His father a strict man with no tolerance for failure or foolishness, Will's early life was to be the perfect son, the perfect student, and the perfect heir to the company to one day replace his father. Will played his role well, skipping several grades until he discovered his love for music, specifically the mixing of electronic music and how it could influence the way people feel. In his teens, Will began pursuing his interest in music while letting his other studies falter a bit. When confronted by his father, Will tried to explain that he was losing interest in business and that he was considering pursuing a profession in the Arts. His father laughed and chastised him while his mother attempted to explain to him how foolish it was. His father threatened his inheritance and continued way of life if he continued to defy him, forcing Will back into business studies and giving birth to what would eventually become a legendary resentment of one of the most powerful men on earth. For the next few years, Will would spend more time within the walls of Propulsion Dynamics and would witness the way his father would operate dirty, and from the shadows. Using coercion, bribery, and worse to get what he wanted. There was no passion for anything he did, just never-ending greed that couldn't be sated.
Will hungered for the pleasure music brought to him and continued indulging his passion in private. At 15 he was introduced to LSD and that's when Will's evolution in music really took off. Under an online alias named "DJ Dapper" Will begin uploading his work to a major video streaming service. In one year he uploaded dozens of mixes that eventually became viral, with thousands of requests to use his work and to identify himself and millions of views. The comments were overwhelmingly positive and major producers took notice of it.
"DJ Dapper" was nominated for an award in a California-based "Funk" music festival. Will showed up to the event but had no plans to reveal himself to the world. When they announced DJ Dapper as the victor, Will impulsively walked to the stage and identified himself to the world. It was a huge revelation not just to the music community, but to the business world as well. Clearly Will had no plans to take his Father's place in the company and this caused several setbacks for Will's father.
Will hesitated outside of the door to his family's large estate, award in hand. He walked inside and was met with a seething father glaring at him from the other end of the large hallway. For the first time, he didn't feel like a father to Will. He felt like a threat. "You think you can fuck with me? Betray me? You know who the fuck I am?" Every ounce of resentment Will harbored for his Father boiled over and the two erupted into a rage inducted argument. A member of the house staff pulled out her cell-phone and recorded the encounter, uploading it to social media which immediately went viral. Will's father would eventually snatch the award of his hands and spike it on the ground, shattering it.
The video ended there, generating massive sympathy for Will and an immediate show of support by millions. What the video didn't show was the last few moments of the encounter in which his Father threatened his life. At that point, Will's mother stepped in and extracted him from the house. His Mother paid his tuition to a private university where he could continue his passion away from the family.

Character's Name : Lamar Reynolds
Age : 18
Year : Senior
Twitter Handle : @JR17
Club / Society Memberships :
Football - Lamar's WR1 and the biggest thing to hit New England High School football according to the newspaper clipping he keeps pinned to the inside of his locker. Pundits have been wrong before, but he's going to make sure they were right on this one.
Track - Quick out of the blocks, tall and without a ridiculous amount of muscle on his frame, Lamar was pretty much destined to end up on the track team. It's not his passion however, just another means to an end.
Personality :
Lamar is under no illusion that (in his own mind) he's hot shit. And so he acts like it. As big loud and brash as his ever-growing ego. That isn't to say that he's a bad guy, but given the fact that he has absolute confidence and belief in his own ability it easily comes across as arrogance. Thankfully his laid back attitude somewhat tempers this. Whilst he's happy for people to talk about him, or to talk about himself till the cows come home, he's generally approachable and a pretty bubbly guy. He knows what he's damn lucky to be at Black Mills, and not many kids like him get this sort of chance, he isn't going to throw it away doing something stupid.
Short Biography :
The son of Denise and Troy Reynolds, Lamar was born into Duke's Island the most 'vibrant' part of Black Mill. With its 'interesting' nightlife and 'up and coming' feel, Duke Island is the shithole of Black Mills, with its residents making up the poorest strata of society, those who grease and keep the wheels of the rest of the town moving. His mother died when he was 5, and it was up to his father to raise him alone, pulling multiple shifts long into the night to keep food on the table and a roof above their heads, and Lamar knows too well the sacrifices his father made for him.
His first two years were spent at Duke's Island Public School, so far below Black Mills Academy in the state ranking system that it might as well been in a different country. With minimal funding and few opportunities it was pretty much a one way street to a life forever on Duke's Island or some similar neighbourhood.
Thankfully for Lamar, whilst the classroom didn't offer him much in the way of future success, the football field did. It started as a stupid sports radio piece on up and comjng players in the area, and Lamar had sneaked into their top 10. It wasn't much exactly, hardly top pundits, more a couple of radio presenters who fancied themselves as experts. However lightning struck that game, 3 TDs and a cool 100 yards. The Radio Station had gotten lucky, their other picks were flaring out, but people didn't care, it appeared that they had found a gem, especially when the streak continued beyond it being a small flash in the pan.
By the end of Freshman year he was already setting school records and gunning for State ones as well. That caught some more attention, and not just from the sports columnists. The Black Mill Peacocks were always on the look out for talent, and here they had found it on their doorstep. Even better a other face for them to parade as them aiding the local community and helping to rise from the destitute depths of Duke's. Lamar and his Dad knew the Bursary wasn't them being magnanimous, they got a guy who could get them publicity and success on the field, all for the relatively small cost of an education. From their point the cost wasn't thay much and the potential profit was a whole lot more. So Lamar took it. Yeah he was grateful but he recognised it format it was. Something they could both benefit from. They got what they wanted, and he got a better starting block than his dad could ever hoped to have given him with his meagre earnings and means.
Whilst he may have started his Sophomore year as little more than a charity case, he's managed to integrate himself on and off the field. The other kids couldn't be more different in terms of their upbringing and families, and whilst he plays with a chip on his shoulder he doesn't hate or rail against them. Just the way life goes, the haves and the have nots. It's just a case of making sure that when he makes it to college, he's milked Black Mills for every inch of game day footage and numerous other opportunities. Lamar is the one who's going to raise his family out of the station they found themselves born into. With the school closing this could have thrown a spanner into the works, but Black Mills is back, and so is LR17. A new year, a new season, a final chance for him to leave his mark.
