A few things before you start making your character:
- Try to make your CS look aesthetically pleasing (i.e. using code, etc.) and feel free to add anything and format it however you like!
- Again, this is NOT first come first serve. Characters will be selected based on merit.
- You are allowed to post WIP's to let others know which role you plan on going for.
- Please try to add some depth to your characters. Although they have a reputation assigned to them, make sure they also break that stereotype in some way. No one wants shallow, cliche characters!
- The tentative deadline for finished characters is Sunday (Dec, 20), but I probably won't be making any decisions until Monday, so you have all of Sunday as well.

PERSONA
-
| PERSONALITY |
Jayden gives off a haughty, arrogant appearance, often coming off as the rich, privileged kid he is. He walks with an air of confidence and has a natural charm, allowing him to be one of the most popular students at school. He often knows the right thing to say at the right time, which lets him get what he wants and get away with many things. He finds it very easy to talk to girls and enjoys meeting new people, as he is good at filling the silence and making people feel comfortable around him. When he is talking to someone, the attentive look that he gives them often makes them feel like they are the only person in the room. Therefore, before he began dating the Queen Bee, he found flirting with girls very fun and hooking up with them almost an adventure, which is how he became close with the Player. The two of them were the biggest partiers in the school, always throwing wild bashes and picking up girls together. Hence, the Kingpin Party.
Spontaneous and fun-loving, Jayden loves trying new things, going on adventures, and seeking thrilling activities, as he enjoys the adrenaline rush. He is a big believer in living in the present and wants to experience as many things as he can. He is very independent, stubborn, and has his own opinion about everything, refusing to rely on anyone else but himself as a result of his upbringing. Although he prefers to keep the peace, he is not afraid of confrontation and will stand up for what he believes in.
Although he appears to be the rich, charming, arrogant boy that everyone labels him as, Jayden keeps his emotions and heart very guarded, often keeping people at an arms length. He is afraid to become emotionally vulnerable and truly open himself to others, as the only people he has really let in are his girlfriend, the Queen Bee, and his best friend, the Player. After doing so, however, he begins to place an unconditional trust in them, becoming very protective of them as well. He cares a lot for his close friends, as he is very loyal to them and is always willing to help them.

BIOGRAPHY

| BIOGRAPHY |
Jayden King was born into a very wealthy family, his father a successful businessman and his mother a famous attorney. Throughout his childhood, everything that he asked for was given to him, and his various nannies cared for him very well while his parents were at work. Because of his parents' cutthroat jobs, they often worked late hours and he would often be asleep by the time they got home. His parents also had a very high standard for the nannies that they hired, often firing them over small issues. As a result, he is not very close to his parents and has not had a stable, loving parental figure in his life. However, his parents would spoil him to no end, as this was the only way they knew how to show him their love.
When Jayden entered high school, where he quickly assumed his place at the top of the social hierarchy, the lack of parenting became less apparent as he began to spend most of his time with his friends. However, during his freshman year of high school, his father was caught cheating on his mother with his secretary. The few times that he was able to spend with his parents as a result of their busy schedules were now filled with fighting, cold shoulders, and arguments. This strained his home life even more, the peak of which his parents were on the brink of a divorce. As a result, Jayden has begun to harbor a resentment against his father for what he did to his mother, and vowed that he would never make the same mistake as him.
Eventually, the tension between his parents finally began to subside. He got to know the Queen Bee, someone from a similar background as him, pretty well during his junior year and began to date her soon after. Besides his best friend, the Player, she became one of the first people whom he truly opened himself up to.

RELATIONSHIPS
-
| RELATIONSHIPS |
The Player | Best Friend | Azaiah Richards | @Ethereal
Because Jayden is dating Jordan, Brooklyn's best friend, they have come to know each other pretty well. He notices that she becomes quite flirty and touchy with him when Jordan isn't around, but he tries to ignore it and doesn't think it's that big of a deal. They have also hooked up once before at a wasted party about a year before he started dating Jordan, but he was blacked out that night and did not remember anything. However, Brooklyn told him what happened the next morning, and they didn't see the importance in telling Jordan when they started dating, as it would have done more harm than help.
The Prep | Good Friend | Amelia Scott | @SpectroVector
Because Jayden is best friends with Amelia's stepbrother, Azaiah, he has gotten pretty close to her and has come to view her as his own sister. He tends to look out for her, enjoys hanging out with her, and goes to her for academic help. In addition, he often goes to her for real relationship advice from a girls' perspective, since her stepbrother, the Player, isn't exactly the best at giving that type of advice. As a result, they can relate to each other very well and have bonded over relationship issues. He also has the sense that she may have had a crush on him towards the beginning, before they each began dating their respective partners.
The Slut | Acquaintance | Isadora Quinby | @QuixoticKitten
Jayden doesn't know much about Isadora, nor does he ever really try to talk to her, but he does know that his girlfriend, Jordan, and her cheerleader best friend, Brooklyn, invited her to his party as a joke. He doesn't know what happened to her that night, but he does know that his best friend, Azaiah, had a threesome with her and he has heard all the post-party rumors about her.
The Hipster | Crush | Amber Cantor | @Amora Aurora
Jayden bumped into Amber at the party as he was coming down the stairs from his father's office. He had just found out he was adopted, so he was drunk and emotional and ended up spilling everything to her. They spent the entire night talking and they bonded over similar family issues involving absentee parents, leading to other personal conversations and getting to know each other on a deeper level. He sensed an intense emotional connection between them, but denies any feelings he has for her since he is still dating Jordan. Because this is the first time he has ever gotten to know someone outside his exclusive social circle, Jayden does not know how to act around her at school. The fact that she knows something so intimate about him and that he opened himself up so easily to someone he barely knows complicates things for him.

| THOUGHTS ON THE PARTY |
Shocking, unexpected, and confusing are three words he would use to describe his night.
"That party was certainly one for the books, that's for sure. I was really excited for this year's party, since we were going to be seniors in the fall. There was so much alcohol, it was enough to get everyone wasted and still have plenty leftover. Anyway, right before people started showing up, me and my girlfriend got into this huge fight... It was probably the biggest argument we've ever had, and we didn't end up talking the entire night. In fact, I barely saw her throughout the night from the bits and pieces I can remember. I guess it was my fault though- I totally forgot about our romantic dinner plans that night since I got caught up in party preparations, then she walked into the kitchen just as Hazel (random cheerleader) was trying to hit on me and I knew how bad it must have looked.
But this next part I can remember so clearly, it's practically etched into my mind. At one point throughout the night, I went upstairs to my father's office to take a break from the party and everyone nagging me about where Jordan was. I don't know what I was thinking in my drunken state of mind, but I decided to look through my father's files. Not sure why exactly- maybe I was trying to make sure he wasn't cheating on my mom again.
Anyway, I ended up finding my own fucking adoption papers. How fucked up is that. I stormed back down the stairs to look for my girlfriend to tell her what had happened, but I ended up running into Amber in my drunken emotional state. We're not friends, but I had definitely seen her around at school before. I ended up spilling everything to her and we spent the entire night talking. No, we didn't hook up- I would never do that to Jordan, but I don't know... there was definitely something there... an emotional connection? Whatever it was, it doesn't matter, because I have a girlfriend."
| WRITING SAMPLE |
Certificate for Adoption. A pair of piercing light brown eyes stared down at those three little words and his own name that appeared on the form. Jayden's hands tightened their grip on the little white piece of paper that just changed his life forever, unable to rip his attention off of it. After what seemed like a lifetime, the Kingpin angrily shoved the legal form back into the folders and made his way towards the office doors. Why had they kept this a secret? What reason could they have for not telling me? Who are my real parents? A million questions swarmed through his dizzying head, as the alcohol had certainly taken a toll on his thought process. Perhaps this was the reason why his parents had always worked those late hours when he was a kid and deprived him of the much-needed attention and affections. After all, he wasn't their real child, so why would they sacrifice their work to be home with a kid that wasn't even their's?
Jayden stumbled onto the marble railing of the grand staircase, slowly making his way down the steps and trying to keep his balance. All he wanted was his girlfriend right now, but he hadn't seen her since their argument. He didn't care about whatever they were fighting about; it all seemed so small compared to what he had just discovered, and he really needed her right now. As he neared the bottom, he noticed a familiar girl walk into the house. He had definitely seen her around in school before, but given the judgmental look on her face, she probably wasn't a frequent to the Kingpin's parties. However, this peeked his interest even more, as his parties often attracted the same crowd each time, so he was curious to find out what had led a girl like her to the house of a guy like him. Plastering his usual charming smile on his face, and the thoughts of the adoption still at the front of his mind, he made his way over to the new girl.
