Background: Dan was born in Langley, Virginia. He spent a lot of his time on the CIA website, and always looked at the career section. Sometimes he spent his time spying on friends and was almost never caught. That intelligence gathering skill would help him later in life.

When Dan went back to America, he honed all of his skills and now had the experience of a mediocre CIA Agent. He realized this was his career destiny, so he pursued it.

They discussed the promotion, and Dan was ranked up to Elite Field Officer. This is one of the highest ranks of field agent you could get, and Dan was very happy.

At school he never struggled until mid - secondary, due to his order and responsability issues. He then met Gavin, an English immigrant who would later become his best friend, along with another kid named José. They would become inseparable, all three deciding to move to Lucerne for their universitary studies. They found a fifth floor apartment flat quite close to the city centre and a (Then again, speculating in case there is an underground system.) metro station. rom the .

He suffers from entomophobia, often becoming uneasy and detached at the very sight of any type of insect, specially ants. He also loathes hot weather and continuous exposition to the sun.


Other: Nothing relevant.

There are no limits to her emotions. She shares them without caring. She will be blunt with you , serious , comforting. When she is sad she can't hold back her tears, her soul won't let her. When she's angry she'll puff out her cheeks or just glare and walk away. She believes that even though someone else did wrong doesn't mean you do the same. She believes in balance and peace. She doesn't approve of fighting or swearing. I t's irrational and a poor way to vent your anger. She is calm and sweet, cooking for you when you have no food, or giving you money to help in your problems.

She told him about the t:v and all the other popular singers out there. That what they sung was form the heart and she wanted to give it a try to. Aren gave it some thought but her brother and sister said go for it. Since she can't do any handy work, or show off her body and not feel weird about , then singing can be good for her. She wasn't fit for a stay at home wife anyways. Aren gave her the go, and for her to try it out. She had made a demo tape, her very first one. It took a few months to get the song she wanted down. They sent it in to a pop studio and waited for their response. When she turned 17 they gave her a call and told her it was beautiful, touching.

Name: Wyatt James Anderson


Age: 20


Gender: Male


Job: Student at University


Personality: Wyatt is a kind, gentle person. He's the type that is wary for his brother and those he cares about, but also wants to help anyone he can. He's selfless and always has been, devoting his life to something he didn't necessarily have to do, and sticking to them. He tends to go with the flow and isn't a shy person - he'll talk your ear off if you give him the right subject for it - but is quiet and calm and sticks to himself most times. He's used to never having help, so he finds it hard accepting when people offer.


Background: Wyatt was born to a very rich family, but was raised by nanny's and other staff, his parents always away for work or just busy, keeping up their fortune. He didn't like the impersonal nannies much, and so took to teaching himself things. He would watch the cooks or the maids or the butlers and figure out how to make food for himself, how to clean, how to do laundry. He did all his schoolwork on his own and taught himself the things he needed to learn. He watched out for himself - and that changed when he was 15. His parents had an 'oops' baby named Braden, and left the little boy alone even earlier than they had Wyatt. Not wanting to see Braden just raised by nannies, Wyatt taught himself how to care for a baby, as well, and basically raised his own brother.


When Wyatt was 18 and Braden 3, their parents died in a drunk driving one-car accident. While he did mourn them, Wyatt had never had much of a familial attachment to them, and so he moved on. He sold their company, proved himself worthy of taking custody of his brother so that his aunt and uncle wouldn't have to keep the boy, and got himself enrolled in classes to set his future on a good path. He moved into a two-bedroom apartment in Lucerne for just him and Braden when he was 19 and has been using the money from his parents' estate, life insurance and company to pay for it and his own classes and anything they need. His aunt and uncle always promised to help if he needed it, but he insists he'll be able to get a job after school, even if the money does run out, and will take care of himself and his brother.


Hobbies/likes: He enjoys taking Braden to the park, cooking, and spending time with animals. Anything that makes his brother happy makes him happy, as well.


Fears/Dislikes: Braden in danger, becoming his parents, nuts.


Other: Wyatt wanted an animal Braden could spend time with and so finally found a cat that had stunted growth and would stay half the size of a normal cat for all its life. He adopted the cat, Rizo, and let's Braden tote the patient animal around everywhere, even making improvements to an old backpack so that Rizo can go on their walks without fearing dogs. Also, Braden calls Wyatt "Wit".

[StarDust]

Accepted! Nice character!

 

[El Chilango]

Felt like including Álvaro's mates. May do José later on.


Name: Gavin Rowles


Age: 23


Gender: Male


Job: After getting turned down for several jobs, he figured out the only thing he could do was work for nobody. After browsing through his rather short alternatives, he decided to try busking, which resulted pretty good, hanging around there, "feeling" the park and the metro commuters who drop off there. He also writes with Álvaro and José under the pseudonym of Welshman "Rhys Jones", from Swansea, aged 31. He is currently studying (and finishing) his studies in psychology. He also tries to do paintings, again, a collaboration between the three, once managing to sell one for the equivalent of four dollars.


Personality: He is the rather quiet and distant member of the trio, generally serving as the comedic foil for both José and Álvaro and as their personal psychologist, generally resolving the issues they face as a group. However, he finds himself incapable of fixing or even explaining reasons about his own issues, such as his estrangement from his family, as he currently only contacts his mother, or in special ocassions, his equally estranged brother Alphonse, and only on holidays, as he hasn't seen any relative since last Christmas; or his lack of a "real job", or his somewhat uneasing mood swings, or his rather troubled, few, and short - lived relationships. Ironically, his birthday is February 14th, better known as Valentine's Day. He likes to be alone and isolated most of the time he isn't with Álvaro or José, generally kicking around and neating up anything, sort of, hovering around in the flat, or even the street. He can be funny and talkative once he has trusted someone but will generally be distant and shy, most times.


Backround: Born into a large, working - class family of five (Not counting Gavin and his younger sisters.) emerging from Leeds, they moved to a relatively small yet surprisingly economic home in the Finsbury Park area, after his mother got a job offer for a travel agency, shortly before Gavin's birth. He had a generally nice and average early childhood, there, nothing remarkable from it as it was a short timespan. Later on, when Gavin was almost six, his mother got transferred to the Mexican branch of the company and so, the family moved to Mexico City, basically capital city of Latin America, to the dismay of Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro. His family adapted quite well, his father finding a job as a mechanic nearby the Lagunilla market. They established on a larger, middle - classy thrid floor apartment, suitable, on the Escandón neighborhood, on the Miguel Hidalgo borough. There, he met Álvaro and José, two lads from well - accomodates families, Álvaro living in the adjacent neighborhood of Condesa and José living in the Narvarte one. They quickly became friends, as for nobody spoke to Gavin in primary school, and not many people do actually. Anyways, the three became inseparable since, rarely seen by their own, as they all took the metro to school, mainly to meet up along the way somewhere, forming the habit of using the underground to go anywhere in them, an habit they still keep to this day, as evidenced with Álvaro. As time went by, things were going into a slow and rather unnoticeable downturn for the Rowles', things that hit a boiling point soon after Gavin left for Lucerne with his mates after a family dispute, to continue his studies there, after getting the scholarship needed. They had found a place they could call home quite soon, a fifth floor apartment flat with an excellent location, not too far away from the metro, in a relatively decent, if a bit shabby neighborhood, close to the city centre. He soon found himself in need of a job, but, got turned down for all of them and decided to go busking in a nearby park, an option viable thanks to his guitar skills earned after a failed cassette - tape attempt to sell covers of popular songs of a few years back with his mates.


Hobbies/likes: He likes to play music and record it when he can, altough he is usually disappointed with his music. He likes to drink with his mates, watch European football, write short stuff and list up his thoughts, diary - like, he once tried to do snowboarding and broke both his legs, he likes to paint, he has a strange affection to maps, and likes rainy days. He smokes, not extremely, but has the habit of doing so.


Fears/Dislikes: He fears most heights, originally, the apartment was going to be on another building on an 8th floor, but Gavin refused to go any higher than 5th, so they had to move into their current apartment. He dislikes rollercoasters and whatnot.


Other: Nothing relevant.
