• Tobias "Toby" Cedrich Syrus
• Male
• 25
• Upper Class
• Height: 6'2
• 
  
  
  Weight: 172 lbs ( about 81 kg in case "someone" doesn't know pounds)
  
  
  Gray eyes, dark blond hair
• Toby could be said to be arrogant at times. Or cold and calculating. Or vengeful and unforgiving. Toby could be said to be many negative things, and all of them would be true. Raised to become the perfect human does not mean raised to be the kindest person. More than almost anyone, he knew the price and value of power, the lesson that his parents themselves had engraved into his mind at a very young age. For young Toby, being monitored and watched was the sign and proof of the system's power. Watching what it could do to others, ruining families and breaking corporations easily with a mere whisper of the virus, he thirsted for that very power ever since.
• 
  
  
  The first thing he did was to give himself a perfect record. Lucky for him, faking was his parents' specialty, and with their influence being the rich and powerful, the system loosened up enough to allowed them to give him lessons of themselves here and there. Toby had always been a quick learner, but he was a genius when driven. He did everything that was expected of him, nothing more, nothing less, being as ordinary as he knew how. The long years was like torture, but the result was a perfect record when he reached 18, and that gave him the leasure and space he needed to set his lust free.
  
  
  Toby's thrist for power was his sole and strongest purpose. His ambition could easily drown out other emotions, of which kindness and compassion was lacking in the first place. He trusted his instincts above all else, which he had horned over the years playing the game of power. He is selfish, arrogant, vengeful and unforgiving, and extremely sensitive when it comes to his ego and pride. He does not work well with others. Toby simply tolerate their presence if it suits him and his purpose. He would insult and humiliate a nobody without ever thinking about it again. He doesn't have friends, only associates who would be useful to him in his quest for power. Many of them considered him their friend, but he wouldn't think twice before getting rid of them once they had outlived their usefulness.
  
  
  Toby Syrus looks down at everyone else. He would trample on anyone and anything that stands in his way to the top, for they were nothing but pawns on his chess board to be moved and sacrifice. He lusted for power, not because of what he could do with it, but to prove that he truely was above everyone else.
  
  
  Virtues/Strengths: Incredibly smart and unpredictable. You can tell that he is going to stab you, just not from which way or with what (metaphorically of course). Fear, when he does have it (rarely) only drives him forward more ferociously.
  
  
  Flaws/Weaknesses: Is a cold and heartless bastard (not sure if this can be counted as a flaw. It worked out pretty well for him). His ambition makes him extremely paranoid. It also sometimes blind him to the damage he was doing to himself mentally and physically to achive what he had set out to do.
  
  
  
• Born to Robert and Madelyn Syrus, co-owner of Syrus Corporation, one of the largest and most influential business in the remainng world, Tobias Syrus could have grown up to be a total brat. Instead, with every toy and every servant he had, the more he understood the meaning of power. Not money, but power itself, the ability to affect his and other people's life. His lust for power truely started when he was 12. His parents, with him watching, destroyed a conpetitor business within 2 hours of spreading rumors and attacking financially. That very day, he saw his family's true sphere of influence. From that very day he started to dream of that sphere being his, of all the things he could achive with it. It was a rather childish dream at the time, but the seed was planted and the tree of oambition started to grow.
• 
  
  
  Under his father's guidance, Toby was able to get a stainless record, both mentally and physically. It got him off the radar of the system, passed on as a filthily rich but otherwise ordinarily perfect human. Grown up yet his dream stayed, only matured and became more realistic, Toby set his plan on motion. Easily getting high enough of a grade to pass in college, he spent much of his time starting to establish relationships and getting to know all the people in high places through his parents, leaving a rather memorable impression in their mind. He worked to make a name for himself, separated from his parents and only call for their assisatance when absolutely necessary, so that people would know him as Tobias Syrus, not son of the Syrus family. Toby spent the first three years until he was 21 creating a web of influence of his own. He started moving up in the world, subtle and slow but steady. Soon, he could already set up a business to his name, and even if it wasn't overall too successful, it provided more weight in his word.
• A mild annoyance came up when he was 21, the result of his Love Havest pair. It was even more annoying that his "future wife", Jane Herison, was a commoner, a girl 3 years younger than him. He was moving up in the world, and a wife was something he had no time for, even if she wouldn't turn out to be a burdan afterward. But he couldn't straight up deny the system's decision, not yet anyway.
• 
  
  
  Toby tolerated her, pretending to welcome her into his life. She was a sweet little girl, born in a ordinary family, another perfect and boring creation of the system. She didn't love him, it was obvious, but she tried to. She did all the romantic and wife-like things she could think of, making him dinners herself, caring for his house and his servants. It ticked him off a lot, having his usual scene messed around by a more or less stranger who thought they knew better. But he stretched his limits and pretended to appriciate what she was trying to do.
  
  
  His patience snapped once she stepped over the line. Two years prior, when Toby had only started to step into the big league, he had an important meeting with the opposition business, which he invited to his mansion. His "wife", although told specificly NOT to disturb him during his business meetings, decided to give him a suprise. She herself served them tea and food, interrupting the conversations to talk about all the exquisite dishes she had made for this occasion, showing all the degree of affection she could master. It, as he had feared, gave the impression of weakness to the wrong man, who from that day on caused him no end of trouble. She had done the thing he had said exclusively NOT to do.
  
  
  Slowly, Toby started pushing her away, began with small and irregular annoyance expressed toward her, and grudually grew colder and distant, all the while keeping the fake polite and gentleman-like manner, until the point that his action and manner contrasted so much that everything was clearly unsincere. His sneer became present in almost every sentence, though still subtle, his disdain and contemp obvious in his posture. Step by step, Toby alienated his wife from his life, not only making her feel unworthy but also guilty, blaming herself for what was being done to him. The sweet innocent girl didn't have enough real life experience to know better. Plagued with guilt and regret, she killed herself one year prior to the present, jumping off the balcony of his office on the 30th floor. Toby mourned her death and moved on. No new wife had been assigned to him since then.

I will hopefully be finished with my character tonight... It be done now xD

 

[Ebonysdagger]

Too lazy to bother with fancy formatting. Sorry.


Name: Sandra Taylor


Gender: Female


Age: 22


Class: Lower Class


Appearance Notes: Five feet and six inches in height with brown hair and blue eyes. Sandra has a relatively pale complexion but still a healthy pale. She wears her hair straight and shoulder length. She tends to be found wearing simple and comfortable clothes. Almost never found in a dress as she feels they expose too much.


Personality: Sandra is as close to a shut in as a person can be in this society. During the usual education of the populace about the outbreak she had taken the paranoia of the era to heart and as such is somewhat terrified to step out her door or interact with much of anyone. She only goes outside for mandatory events such as doctor visits, work, groceries, and the like. She will not hug people nor shake their hands for fear that they may be sick.


In spite of her almost crippling fear of disease she spends time studying anything about it and other diseases she can find. She wants to know what the signs are and how to keep herself safe from it. She has, in her study, also ran across the history of how society used to function in small snippets here and there. Even as she understands this modern world and its reasons for operating as it does she occasionally daydreams about a much freer society such as those of the past. A few times, as terrifying as she finds it, she questions herself if perhaps the time for such extreme measures as the government is using have passed.


History: Sandra's life can be summed up as bland and expected. Both of her parents saw to it that she was well fed and safe as best as one can in this world. She never knew her grandparents as they apparently had all passed away before she was born or so she was told. It would seem at least two of them might have gotten sick and been eradicated. No siblings in her life to mention as her parents were in no way in love with each other and only stayed together out of fear for the system. She considers herself lucky enough to have remained within the specifications of the system and attended her classes like all good child citizens should. It was there that she learned of the disease that changed the world and her fear of sickness began. She made it through her teen phase pretty much keeping her head down and out of the way rather than joining in with the usual hijinks of most teenagers and got through collage without losing her mind to the usual 'rock the boat' syndrome most 'young adults' experience during those years.


Lately, as in the past year or so, she has holed up in her house only leaving it when needed as she now lives on her own and can control her own actions. During this time she has given into her paranoia and fear to the point that she has learned as much as someone of her class and standing can about the Nitrum virus as well as quite a few of the other sicknesses mankind is still prone to in spite of genetic engineering. As a result she has also encountered information about the past that makes her question the current setting in her weaker moments. She can afford her own place due to her job of record keeping for a few of the local businesses. An auto shop, a pawn shop, and realtor all three pay her to keep their records straight and formalized which she does through the network.


She hopes that her fears, both that of becoming sick and that the government might not be right, are unfounded even as she prepares for the government mandated breeding time as she mentally refers to it. She really hopes that she is not overly compatible with anyone because that would mean she would have to touch them but at the same time she hopes she is acceptable enough they do not just eradicate her for not being suitable.

Appearance

Name: Krissie Aurie


Gender: Female


Age: 20


Class: Lower Class


Appearance Notes: Krissie has a boyish build as she had to protect herself living in the lower districts, She is about 5"7 being quite tall for a girl. She has an eye patch as she was injured in a fight in the lower districts.


Personality: Krissie is a fighter at heart, she has had to protect herself from a young age. Sometimes she gets a little too crazy and will occasionally beat someone to the point of near death, she is soft at heart when she finds someone she truly likes and can trust. She is a laugh to be around as she can tell you stories of the lower districts, between fights and running from the law. Krissie seams sad if you mention the word family and goes quiet, after a little bit she will suddenly wipe away a tear or two and break into a laughing fit and want to move location.


History: Krissie grew up in the upper district but her family was removed from the district as he father had gambled away all of his money. Living in the lower district was hard for Krissie at first, she didn't know if it was safe to go outside or if kids her age where like the kids in the upper district.


once again hey father gambled away the little money they had and was now in debt with a criminal organisation, Krissie's mother had gotten sick in the move between upper and lower district, with no money to take her to medical help, her mother pasted away leaving Krissie and her father in the house.


Krissie never forgave her father for what he did. She left the house they had and ventured into the lower districts, She caused fights and even made friends. The friends she had decided to make a small group, causing problems for the law enforcement and the towns folk. One day she decided to fight the wrong person and ended up having her right eye damage forcing her to wear a eye patch, even with the injury to her eye she attempted to fight the man who had hurt her. The final thing she remembers was being covered in blood and being in massive amounts of pain as her friends carried her away.

Name: Robyn Zemms


Gender: Female


Age: Just turned 18


Class: Government


Appearance Notes: Robyn is 5'7" and weighs 110lbs. She has mid-back, black, straight hair and bright blue eyes. She is always in a dress and either has a pin or flower or such in her hair.


Personality: Quiet, Shy, Obedient, Kind, But secretly: Scared, Longing for freedom, Curious


History: As with everybody, she's got the looks going for her. But her family is also rich, with her mom being a head scientist and her dad being part of the government. She's never thought badly about the Love Harvest or even the monitoring. She knew it was for her health and to stop the Nitrium Virus. Despite this, she's always been curious. She longs to be able to run free and choose her own love, instead of a supercomputer. She never voices these opinions because of what happened when she was 7. Instead she is obedient, disregarding all her desires. She really just wants to know if anybody feels the same way as her.


When she was 7, she told her father that she fell in love with the farmer's boy. He grabbed her by the arms, dragged her up to her room, and locked her in there for the next 6 months, only sending food up to her 1x every 2 days. She learnt her lesson alright. The Community is not something to be disobeyed.

 

[SilverCaress]

Name: Skye Hirshfield


Gender: Female


Age: 20


Class: Lower Class


Appearance Notes: Skye is 5'6 and weighs 110lbs. She has long blonde hair and green eyes. She also has notable scars over her back and chest from fights she has been in, attempting to steal food and such.


History/Personality: No longer having any family to stand by as they were all washed away by the virus, Skye has become rather quiet and harsh on herself. She was close knit with her family, and now that they are gone, feels an emptiness that she feels nothing can fill.


Being in the lower class also means that she keeps to herself and is afraid to voice her opinion, only in times when she breaks does she really show her true self. Skye is timid and can be easily scared, but she is not weak by any means. Infact, she is very strong, and having to hold all these emotional burdens has caused her to break down emotionally from time to time.


She suffers from anxiety and depression, and lives in constant fear with her paranoia. Trying her best to make sure no one finds out about this, this also contributes to the reason she tries to keep to herself. She longs to be free, but at the same time she knows that soon enough, she probably will succumb to the virus herself, and all she wants to do is fade away.

Character Sheet Reviews (Page 3 only)


@Darth Pai

Spoiler

Seriously, her chest size is huge. Is that a result of genetic engineering?! Sign me up!


@Zac






Krissie sounds very interesting. xD I wouldn't want to meet her in a back ally late at night, but I bet she'd be fun to have out for drinks! The biggest problem with the character sheet is the grammar. Proofread! A lot of the sentences blend together because fragments are joined with a "," at the end instead of a "." and it's hard to tell what fragments are a singular sentence and which are meant to separate.


There are also a few concerns. Yes, the lower class almost certainly has a few problems that the government overlooks; however, the military also doesn't exactly just overlook everything. If her mother was taken away they almost certainly would notice since her mother was paired with her father and the government purposefully matches spouses. Additionally, Krissie's mother wouldn't be allowed to produce children for the guy she was sold to and would still have monthly mandatory visits to the doctor so abuse would be very, very difficult to conceal. Maybe she passed away due to illness? Maybe she's become so disillusioned she's a shut in? I bet there's a way to re-work this to work in the setting a little better. =)

• Genesis Alice Calloway
  
  
  a/k/a Symphonie ("Symph")
• Female
• 19
• Middle Class
  
  
  "Symph" gives away a considerable amount of her income to the Lower Class to help with their living conditions and expenses. If she did not partake in such charity, her earnings would place her in the Upper Class.
• "Symph" is tall for a girl, standing approximately 5'9" and with a thin, svelte figure that weighs somewhere close to 130 lbs, give or take a few depending on work and diet. She has a small frame due largely to a familial line of tall men and dainty European ladies. She is pale, though not exceptionally so.
  
  
  In a world filled with perfectly pretty people, Genesis a/k/a Symphonie has been specifically engineered to be extraordinary. Her weight and shape are more closely monitored than most and she has been allowed the luxury of minor cosmetic surgeries where genetics have failed her. As a consequence she is stunning, even without the benefit of make-up; her eyes are vivid blue, her lashes long, her cheekbones high, and her brow immaculately defined. It is the absence of flaw that is perhaps unnerving- sometimes she seems more akin to a mannequin or doll than a living human being.
  
  
  Her 'look' as of late is a more refined woman than the 'cute' that dominated her earlier years. She wears the most modern and fashionable clothing, often bordering on 'strange.' Her hair color fluctuates and is dyed very frequently, most often shades of pink, purple, teal, and blue- though it has been seen as white, pure black, and green. Naturally she is a blonde.
• Years in the limelight has both positively and negatively influenced Genesis. She has a stage persona and presence that is distinct from her actual self and like a trained actress, she can blend the two together seamlessly. While others have studied mathematics, science, and medicine she has learned how to speak eloquently, leave a positive impression, mingle with all levels of society, and maintain a smile in the worst of circumstances. She can both read and control a crowd, but she finds herself often without real companionship as a result of the lifestyle she has chosen. It is difficult for her to determine who enjoys her for the wealth and fame and those who truly care about her.
  
  
  Symphonie, or as she is colloquially called "Symph," is a bright individual. Her voice is melodic and purposefully enchanting, almost never taking a hard edge or callous tone. She is polite and humble, taking both criticism and flattery in stride, and is careful not to argue or debate most issues of importance. Much of the community knows that part of this persona must be a facade, but it is difficult if not impossible to tell where it begins and ends- as a consequence, they simply shrug and accept it all. With an endless supply of energy and a "prettier than pretty" face, body, and voice, she is an example for the government to tout around of how everyone should be. No interviews have ever caught her speaking negatively of the military or critical of anything of importance. It is an easy to adore and digest human being.
  
  
  Genesis, the woman underneath the 'mask,' is much more complex. Years of pressure to maintain a pristine exterior have left her slightly overwhelmed by any perceived physical flaw and with some persistent insecurities. Unable to voice her real thoughts in public and afraid to confide in anyone that claims to be a 'friend' she keeps dissidence to herself. Lonely and uncertain of herself, she takes comfort in "Symph" as a cover. As no one expects "Symph" to be a rocket scientist persay, Genesis has also concealed her true wit and hobbies. She has been taught self-defense as a precaution and enjoys the focus of shooting weapons. Additionally she spends a large amount of time drawing and studying ecology- what little she can glimpse of it. Her true passion of music perseveres- and she dreams of a day when all types and artists will gain the acclaim they deserve. A hopeless optimist and romantic in the face of adversity, Genesis refuses to let the virus control her life. As she puts it- the best way to defeat adversity is to laugh and smile.
  
  
  Strengths: Smarter than she seems, beloved by the public, generous with her money, extremely charismatic, optimistic
  
  
  Weaknesses: Varying degrees of insecurity, incredibly lonely, paranoid about her reputation, unable to voice her true beliefs, fearful of defying the government
• Genesis Alice Calloway was part of a program by the government to engineer specific traits in a subsection of the generation- making children that were not only healthy but also artistic. Morale in the community had slipped with the decline of the population years ago and the constant threat of the virus lingering on the horizon. Not all of the children were successes in this endeavor; however, enough were that it was deemed a worthwhile venture. Genesis was, in particular, bred of two people with musical talent and a lineage of the entertainment business.
  
  
  As soon as she was old enough to talk and walk, she was groomed for the dreams of her parents (who desperately wanted a child who was as musically inclined as they were) and the government that wished to better influence their people. She was doted on and critiqued in equal measure, creating both a loving and harsh environment. While others were nurtured selflessly, she was told when her singing was off-key at four, when her wake was "not cute enough" at five, and when her look "needed serious improvement" at 6. Genesis loved her parents unconditionally but was conflicted by the measured doses of affection she received based on her performance. She tried to disappoint them and loathe the profession she was being pressured towards, but she could not deny her heart: she loved to sing and talk and smile. Soon it was a labor of love for both them and her; the family was brought together through their passion.
  
  
  By age 10, she was ready for her "debut." She was encouraged to partake in some light advertising and modeling for various companies and began to seriously train vocally. Her range was impressive even for an adolescent and soon she was taking the community by storm as a precocious, golden-haired songstress with a contagious smile. They were enchanted by the breath of joy in an otherwise bleak and oppressive atmosphere. She was soon earning pay to attend birthday parties and other celebrations as a novelty of the rich- though she had dreams for much, much more.
  
  
  As puberty struck, the scientists were pleased to see Genesis blossom. At age 14 she was given the stage name of "Symphonie" and was encouraged to write songs of her own. With collaborations with her parents and other unappreciated amateur artists of the community, she was able to release an album of sorts a year later. Although not everyone was fond of her style, it was a fresh creative invention and one of the few that persevered in a stagnant society that was preoccupied with survival alone. Her songs were bright and cheerful, full of yearning and dreaming of things of both the past and future. As she had not suffered serious hardships yet, it was easy for her to create the image that was asked of her.
  
  
  Her fame only grew as she aged. As one of the few celebrities they had, she strived to fill a void she believed existed in the community. Her eyes were not as averted from loss and tragedy as they were in earlier years- as she attended more social functions, held concerts, and created another album, she became more familiar with the plight of the lower class and ill. She made efforts to see patients in hospitals, donate her accumulating wealth to the poor, and attend funerals as time permitted. While her parents are still alive, she is aware that at any moment someone she cares dearly for can be ripped away.
  
  
  The community is eager to see who will be chosen for Symph's Love Harvest. Their icon and idol has reached a stage that many look towards with anxiety- or have already passed. They wait with baited breath to see if her match will live up to the man of her dreams that is the subject of a few songs. The man assigned to her will quickly find himself and his life (both before and with her) thrown into the view of the public- willing or not.

• Novi Yuille (pronounced "No-vee Yool-ee", though she doesn't really use her last name for anything.)
• Female
• 21 Years
• Good ol' average Middle Class
• Novi is a lithe young woman and quite tall, reaching a height of 5'10" and weighing in at about 125 pounds. With her slimness comes a flexibility that's proved to be useful time and time again. Novi's skin is of a darkened bronze shade, virtually flawless without a pimple or scar in sight, though one would expect a few bruises from all of the running around she tends to do. She's got a round face with thin lips and a mischievous set of deep, amber eyes that almost seem a honey-gold in certain lights. Her hair is dark brown and short, stopping a few inches above her shoulders.
  
  
  Novi dresses for comfort rather than style, and can always be seen wearing a fitting pair of dark-blue denim jeans with the legs rolled up above her ankles, along with a plain white halter top and a short, brown leather jacket. On her feet are a pair of worn grey sneakers. She doesn't wear any jewelry, and is against adorning herself with makeup.
• Imagine a dish from a foreign land that someone has offered you. You're skeptical but open to new things, so you taste it and see how you feel about it. Its texture is odd, the smell is off-putting, and the taste is just too different to like, so you decide that you hate it and go back to whatever else you've been eating. But something doesn't feel right afterward...the taste was strange, but for some reason it's addicting, so you go back to it and try again to see if your judgement will change. It doesn't; you still hate it, but you keep going back to taste it in hopes that something will change. And eventually, after hundreds of thousands of tries, you finally seem to appreciate the flavor. Well, that's Novi's personality in a nutshell. Those who wish to find some of her more positive qualities have to have a great amount of patience, understanding, and tolerance, as the young woman is, quite bluntly put, a force to be reckoned with.
  
  
  Novi doesn't trust people right away. She's got a sharp tongue and an even sharper attitude, content with speaking her mind when she feels like it and calling out a person's flaws whenever she sees fit, for both a laugh and their own good. It's kinda hard to tell the difference between her telling a joke, sarcasm, and her being serious. Novi's also a very independent person, preferring to go around on her own rather than go places with other people. It's for this reason that she doesn't seem to have many friends. Deep down within her heart, there seems to be a sliver of kindness and compassion, but it takes work to ever get passed the hard shell of her exterior that she's worked on improving all her life, layer by layer. Novi's also a handful to deal with when she's angry, and is more than willing to fight when she needs to. Other times, yelling and insults work just as well for her. She also tends to be nonchalant about things, and has a mixed moral sense when it comes to realizing what "wrong" can mean in terms of her own actions.
• Novi grew up with a single mother. One day, her mother became inexplicably ill, and though sicknesses were common amidst the Community, the little girl was confused and scared. The pair were alone and had always been that way, having no contact with other family members, so Novi took it upon herself, at the tender age of eight, to look after her mother and care for her as she suffered, care which her mother was grateful for but anxious about; there was never getting rid of the fear that her daughter might come down with it, too. This only went on for a day, after which the woman was taken away to be tended to by medics. Her mother promised that she'd come back to the girl, but the moment she was pulled out of her home on a stretcher was the last moment she'd see her daughter. Saddened and frightened, Novi took up raising herself for the remainder of her life, having learned enough about food and cleaning to maintain the house as well as keep herself from starving.
  
  
  As well as she was doing on her own, it didn't last for long. Before her ninth birthday, Novi was placed in the care of a woman much older than her mother had been, named Aurie. Aurie had lived her entire life without children of her own, and, quite frankly, wasn't sure what to do with Novi once she'd been assigned to be her care-taker. She knew nothing about what children liked or how closely they needed to be watched, and Novi took her carelessness and ignorance as a sign that the woman didn't want her around. For the rest of her childhood, she basically raised herself, having to teach Aurie all sorts of simple things. Her pseudo-mother seemed unwilling to learn time and time again, leaving Novi to her own devices and never really bothering to form a relationship with her, though she put on the guise of a caring mother when medical exams and the like would take place. Novi's abilities in caring for herself led her incredibly healthy, and the doctors never seemed to question it, though the girl grew up to be bitter, introverted, and greatly self-reliant.
  
  
  Novi values her own abilities among those of others as a result of her childhood. She claims not to need others, though hasn't realized to this day that it'd help and make her happier, as she's unfamiliar with basic human relationships and anything bordering on familial kindness.
  
  
  As far as the Love Harvest goes, Novi has yet to be a part of it and, frankly, isn't psyched for the day either. She considers "love" to be a childish emotion that gets one nowhere in life.

(If there's anything I need to change, just tell me. The "History" bit was the one I kinda rushed and had a hard time with....lol.


Ohman...everyone else has long, detailed histories; mine is so puny in comparison! Gah!


EDIT: Okay, made it longer.)

• Aline Gray
• Female
• 18
• Upper Class
• 4'10, 94 lbs. - Aline was born perfectly normally, but she stopped growing unusually early, so she's terribly short and small.
• Aline is incredibly shy and reserved - She keeps to herself almost completely and almost never talks to anyone. She's very humble and doesn't accept compliments a lot of the time. She's a bit perverted at times, but she's a hopeless romantic nonetheless. She has an easier time writing what she wants to say rather than actually saying it.
• Aline spent very little of her life talking with others - She avoided people almost all the time and limited herself to observing people rather than actually talking to them. Her parents were and still are very nice to her and give her whatever she wants (Though she asks for very little), but she cares too much about writing and poetry to care about getting things. For most of her life she's dreamed about the Love Harvest and who she might be paired up with... She's yet to be paired up with someone for the Love Harvest, though she will be soon...

• Aislyn Whitman.
• Female.
• 21 years
• Upper class, member of prestigious Whitman family.
• Aislyn has a petite build, both short in stature and delicate in appearance, reaching only 5'6" in height and weighing in at only 110 lbs. With her fair hair and light blue eyes she might have been an ideal in beauty, if it weren't for her lack of any assets or feminine appeal. As such she was often bullied as a child, to which she responded with mockery and theatrics.
• Aislyn has a flair for dramatics. She loved theater her entire life, being the center of attention- all lights and eyes on her; it's a feeling she never gets tired of. As such she can seem a little self-centered, or insensitive, but any offense or hurt is merely due to ignorance. She doesn't know any other way of life, and can't comprehend any other points of view before experiencing them herself.
  
  
  Aside from brief bouts of ignorance spawned insensitivity, Aislyn is a rather happy individual. She took advantage of the attention given to her as an upper class citizen to further her career. She loves making people laugh, or cry, or just about go through any emotion, and can be particularly perceptive about emotions even if she doesn't understand what caused them. After all, if an actress can't read her crowd- how could she possibly change the atmosphere?
• As a child, Aislyn Whitman was shown the top level of care. She saw the best doctors, went to the best schools, made friends of the most prestigious families (A: 'After all, befriending a low class child is simply beneath you' I never understood why my mother said that. I don't care who they are as long they're an audience.) but one thing she did not have in excess was family. Aislyn is an only child, despite attempts her parents have made- and as such she is treated like a precious gem.
  
  
  A precious gem rarely let out of sight; Aislyn had always led a sheltered life. She was never allowed to do anything dangerous, go anywhere with the slightest possibility of contagion; and had it not been for her propensity towards theater, She probably would not have even been allowed out of the house. As such Aislyn doesn't have much experience with the world outside, and the only dreams she has to comfort her are fantastic ones- full of adventure and daring deeds. (A: One day, I want to see the world. Yes I know I know, it's a dangerous place- full of virus' and germs and the like. That doesn't mean I can't still see it though. Someone has to come up with a cure eventually, right?)
  
  
  As the day of the love harvest grows closer, Aislyn isn't sure whether the bubbling in her chest is boundless excitement (A:After all, it's very similar to the feeling I get right before I go on stage) or a nervous worry about what her possible match could be. She wants someone fun, and daring, her own personal knight in shining armor (A:Minus the armor bit. That stuff is incredibly uncomfortable- trust me, I know.). But most of all, as corny as it sounds, she wants to find love. She wants to be able to give someone the same care and reverence she received as a child, the same small touches, the shared looks, the love her parents obviously felt for each other. Her parents were lucky, being matched together and falling for each other as hard as they did. Aislyn wants to experience something like that. (A: After all, It's a scientific genetic match right? I shouldn't be worried. Right, this is just excitement then. You know, I always imagined my future partner with a dark, mysterious look. Or maybe fair and pure- oh! what about if he had an eye-patch, like those pirates I always read about? No?)

Name: Michael Trentoff


Gender: Male


Age: 19


Class:


Upper class. Michael is a biologist in training, conducting experiments on a variety of organisms, however, when his training is over the most likely course for his career to take is mainly what he does in training, conducting tests on animals and studying possible medicines.


Appearance Notes:


Michael is thin and average sized. He doesn't always wear his gas mask, he only uses it when tests and experiments are conducted.


Personality:


Michael is an understanding empathetic person, despite this, however, he doesn't relate well to people in a social way, making him extremely introverted. He spends most of his days training and studying, rarely going to social events of any kind.


Michael is also actually a homosexual, but due to how the love harvest works, he will be paired with a female, which he dreads highly. He searches for a way to avoid it, though he knows, really, that there is no possible way.


He also has, what his teachers have called, an 'unhealthy' interest in viruses and diseases, conducting experiments and tests of all kinds on animals and inside Petri dishes, this is why he decided to buy his own, top quality gas mask, and why he is seen so frequently in it. he bought it so as to avoid a nasty surprise one morning. of course, his teachers gave him a free one, but he called it dodgy and broken, which it probably was.


History:


Michael Trentoff was born to the children of English immigrants. They were called Brian Trentoff and Claire Trentoff. From a young age they observed his abilities and passion in biology, And so when he turned 16 they rushed him off to a training institute, where he could study his passion.


After two years his parents both died in a false outbreak, in which they were Eradicated due to them showing signs of the Nitrum virus (it was later discovered that they had not actually caught the disease, and had in fact caught a rare form of lung cancer, which appeared, in it's early stages, very similar looking.)


This event left him in the care of the training facility until his course ends, which is when he turns 20. When this happens he is expected to get a job, buy a house, or continue his research to more advanced levels. Though getting hired won't be hard, as employers look for people with training in medicine and biology, for obvious reasons.

  Build: Feminine
  
  
  Eye color: Green
  
  
  Hair Color: Naturally Blonde, but dyed Pink
  
  
  Other: She always wears a pair of googles on her head. The googles zoom into whatever she's looking at, like binoculars. She made them herself with some help from her foster father after he realized that she enjoyed examining and understanding the world around her.
  
  
  
• Pros: Positive, Loyal, Honest
  
  
  Cons: Unintentional Flirt, Tunnel Vision, Curious
  
  
  Sammy loves being around people almost as much as she loves digging her nose into things. Growing up, she often got in trouble for slipping into places she shouldn't, or doing experiments that would have gotten her into more trouble had she not been so honest and cheery about her situation. One year, when she was around the age of 11, she had snuck into an old building that was due to be terminated for its overwhelming flaws and not being up to regulations. She wandered around investigating the place, pretending to be a scientist at an excavation site. Needless to say, one of the crewmen that was putting out the explosives for the building found her just as she made a "marvelous discovery." When she was brought to her foster parents by a local authority, she was warned that doing something again might have her Eradicated. She might have been in more trouble, had she not started to ramble about her exciting discovery to her parents, and how she might save the world yet. Sammy was charming that way. Her excitement and curiosity would trump any trouble she would get into. She never quite did another excavation, but she did find other mischief.
  
  
  At age 13, Sammy had about as many friends in school as she had out. Needless to say, that was many and then some. Her foster father enjoyed coffee in the mornings at a local shop, and the employees knew them both just as well. Her foster mother, on the other hand, enjoyed a deli shop, where the same was true. And with as many friends as she had, one would assume it would be difficult for Sammy to stay loyal to them all. Yet, she found a way. She loved people as much as she loved new discoveries.
  
  
  Being as social as she was, Sammy also had a way with unintentionally flirting. She's a bit oblivious about her interactions with others, only thinking herself as being friendly. It wasn't uncommon for people to surround her, especially boys. While the Love Harvest was a done deal, it wasn't uncommon for those around her age to be fooling around. She never really was interested in it, but that didn't mean that the boys weren't trying to get her to play date them. This was mostly because she never had anyone she liked, and didn't see the sense in play dating when the government will provide her the real thing the moment she's in the system. Instead, she concentrated on gaining new knowledge, her curiosity of the way the world worked overcoming any curiosity towards people of the other sex.
  
  
  Because of her single-mindedness when it comes to fulfilling her curiosity, she often doesn't noticing the feelings of those around her. Mostly this is because she becomes so obsessed with something, she barely notices the things around her. When she does notice the feeling of those around her, she only sees a very shallow part of it. Once, she was doing an experiment in her Advanced Mechanics class at age seventeen, and while she was partnered with a boy who had shown some interest in her, she could only talk about the experiment. She was talking excitedly about some discovery she had made in their creation only to realize that he had been talking to her about something else that seemed very important to him. When she had asked what he had said earlier, for she had been too concerned in her work previously to hear him, he just looked distraught and said he had to leave. He hasn't tried to talk to her since.
• 
  
  
  Sammy was born with little to no problems. She has always maintained a perfect health from birth, showing optimal results in her younger years. By the time she turned five, her mother had died from the illness that was taking over the city. Her death was quick, but that didn’t mean that Sammy had missed watching her mother rive in pain before finally choking on her last breath. She had cried, and while she wanted to cling to her mother’s dead body, she stayed away as they had taught her in daycare.
  
  
  Three years later, when she was eight, her father also died from the disease while at work. She heard about it when she had returned from school that evening, and she wasn’t able to see her father again. Not until he was cremated and his ashes buried. Her parents’ had their name plates put into the cemetery, buried together. She visited once a year on her birthday in the years after.
  
  
  With both of her parents gone, she was placed under government care. Within a year, she was placed with an appropriate family. By that time, she had decided that she was going to find a cure for the disease that had killed so many. She didn’t know how long she had, as having both parents succumb to the disease meant that she was at a higher risk than someone with only one parent dead. She had a few more checkups throughout the year than most others her age, but she still showed optimal health. By the time she was fifteen, it was determined that if she was fine for the last six years, then she would not be at a great risk as she grew older. They still kept a close eye on her health, but she wasn’t required to do extra check-ups anymore.
  
  
  Her foster parents always let her do as she pleased, mostly letting her curious nature grow while they supervised. She occasionally got in trouble for going into places she shouldn’t, such as her neighbor’s backyard. When she wasn’t exploring, she was crafting experiments in her room. Some of these experiments ended in many explosions or disastrous mechanical failures that may or may not have led to the de-stuffing of her pillows and mattress. Her confidence in trying to find a cure kept her positive and she lived with the notion that if she could have happiness with others for one more day, for none knew when the virus would strike, then she would have given many good last moment memories to those that she cared about.
  
  
  By the time she was eighteen, she was enrolled in one of the best colleges dedicated towards scientific discoveries for finding a cure to the Nitrum Virus. While her Love Harvest is coming up soon, she’s mostly dedicated to her research. She still hangs out with her friends from her high school, but over the year, she has increasingly been disappearing into the college’s lab or the library. When she does emerge from her studies, she can’t help but excitedly talk about her new-found knowledge, or the future.

• Female
• 20
• Middle Class
• Height: 5' 6"
  
  
  Weight: 146 lbs
  
  
  Semi-Long White Hair
  
  
  Often Seen Wearing A Sweater Or Coat
• Shinozaki is a kind, sweet girl with a gentle heart. She enjoys the company of others, though is usually quiet and attentive. She enjoys nature, though there insn't much in the Community (Her dream is to see a squirrel!). She also is vey interested in the aspects of space. Her angry and/or negative emotions do not show often, and when they do, they're very mild. However, if people could see into her mind, they'd see that the death of her cousin is still eating away at her, as does the depression she is still recovering from.

  (For Fun :smile 2
  Not sure if this is the correct tab for this but just wanted to throw out there that she's Bisexual... Yay?
• Shinozaki lived as Middle Class in Sector B for her entire life. Her mother and father were caring parents, which was good, as she was not allowed to visit most of her relatives. Out of her entire family tree, Shinozaki's family was one of the few that had made it to the Middle Class; her family had most of its history as Lower Class beings with many succumbing to the virus. Because of this, and because of the fact that the Lower Class were also more likey to become ill, Shinozaki's family tried to keep their distance in the name of their daughter's saftey. Nobody enjoyed it, but it was their way of keeping her safe.
  
  
  Growing up, Shinozaki's father helped her write letters to her cousins and grandparents, as a way of communication. Though they could video-chat through the computer, it was still difficult, as some family members were elderly and... well, not very good online. Soon, each of the families simply began sending either photos or documents between Sectors, and their plan was working wonderfully. Shinozaki's favorite pen-pal, however, was her cousin Amber. She was younger than her, but was still lively and energetic, and always a joy to write to. The two of them talked online and through letters... but the letters had become much more fun. They both enjoyed drawing, and would often send drawings to one another, showing off their skills and appreciation for one another.
  
  
  Then one day, Amber's mother had caught the illness. She was rushed to the hospital, while the rest of the family was tested and sterilized. It was confirmed that Amber and her brother had, too, caught the Nitrum Virus. It just wasn't in effect yet. From then, Amber was not allowed to contact the outside world, let alone recieve anymore letters from Shinozaki. Sadly, it was a good three weeks before Shinozaki had any idea what had been going on. Almost each day during those weeks had she been sending letters, worried about how no one was responding. And all the while, Amber was only getting worse and worse. By the end of the fourth week, Amber had passed. Shinozaki became devestated, slipping into a depression that lasted the rest of the year. Her life became morbid as she kept away from the world, closed up in her apartment, with the death of her dear cousin completely shattering her.
  
  
  It took therapy, medication, and years of support in order for Shinozaki to recover from the death. Now, Shinozaki lives happily again, but secretly, the depression is still there, hiding behind a placid smile...
  
  
  "When you are depressed, insane even... you see things. You hear things. Your life becomes a madhouse; a whirlwind of emotions, with so many it makes you nausious. Now here you are, years later with a smile and renewed soul. But really, look at yourself. If you wanted to, you could become depressed again. If you tried hard enough, I bet you you could become insane again. Why is that? Why is that possible? Well, once you've touched the madness, it never really goes away. You never really 'get better'. All you can do is cover it up and live with it, because insanity is too strong. Even for mankind."
