  HISTORY
  
  Ivy was born on August 5th, 1999 in Manistee Michigan. Her parents are two wedding planners, Avery and Johan Stewart. The husband's had three other children, an adopted brother and sister, and then another child via surogate. They are an unconventional family of course, but those kids couldn't hope for better parents. They lived on a small farm just outside of Manistee, but they were in no way isolated. Ivy's life was full of friends and adventure during her younger years. She was a bright, bubby child who loved to make friends wherever she could. Ivy even helped her fathers' with their wedding business, and later the small bakery they bought. Avery and Johan made sure that their kids had everything they could possible need.
  
  Things changed a little when Ivy started going to elementary school. In kindergarten kids could be mean, but they didn't really know what they were talking about. They would repeat why their parents said but other than that, nothing too bad. They just didn't understand. In elementary school, things would get a little more complicated. You see, Ivy was a chunky child. She ate healthy, loved to run around and do things outside. But she wasn't built to be skinny. And as you would expect that would cause some problems. All through our her school career, Ivy was made fun of for her weight. Her father's were both staples in the community, and everyone loved them. But Ivy was just an easy target.
  
  In highschool, people liked to play pranks on her. Once the cheerleaders invited her to a "tryout" to replace one of the members who moved away. Instead of that, they dropped a bunch of cherry pie filling on her. No idea why, that's just what they went with. Other times she'd be asked out by some of the boys, either as a dare or because they expect her to be desperate for attention. Her parents could only do so much to help her. But in a way, it was a blessing. Ivy kept to herself often, and ended up teaching herself how to draw. She of course started off drawing anime and videogame characters, but who cares. She would also sometimes designs custom wedding cards or labels for the bakery.
  
  When Ivy graduated highschool, she wasn't sure what she wanted to do with her life so for two years, she worked at her parents bakery. She was in charge of cheesecake and bread. In her free time, she continued to draw and eventually realized she could do something with with art. So she applied to a local community college to get an associate's in art's degree. While she went to school, she continued to work on at the bakery. And eventually, graduated with enough saved she could move to New York. But shortly after she did, one of her gaming buddied invited her to visit Australia for a few weeks and she agreed.

  3. Outgoing: Ruben loves to meet new people and make friends.

Oliver Leo Smith

Basic Age: 13
Gender: non-binary (they/them)
Ethnicity: White
Nationality: Australian
Sexuality: Pansexual
Role: Passenger

Physical Height: 5'1" (155cm)
Weight: 85Ib (35kg)
Hair Color: Brown
Eye color: blue
Body mods: Small blue stud in left ear
Distinguishing Features: Large scar on stomach from being mauled by a bull when younger.

PERSONALLikes: Drawing, fishing, soccer, socializing
Dislikes: the cold, silence, Bigots
Fears: Heights, Being alone (especially in the dark)
What were you doing on flight 216?: Oliver was returning home to Australia after staying with his brother in New York
Skills: pretty good fisher, knows some basic butchering skills, and makeshift crafting (i.e. making things with what you got.)
Personality: Oliver is usually pretty mild tempered and is often overly sociable. Some may even call them a social butterfly, and is almost always the first person in the room to strike up conversation. The kind of person you start to worry about when they are not talking. However if you do manage to upset them its like you are dealing with a completely new person. Cursing, things getting thrown across the room, the nastiest insults leaving their mouth its not a pretty sight and thankfully one only a few people have ever seen.

Fear Makes Oliver quiet not even stating their fear to those around them. A scared Oliver will just sit there not speaking a word not looking at anyone just existing in that moment taken over by the fears that surround them.
HISTORYBackground: Oliver grew up on a ranch in Australia pretty much from the time they could walk just like everyone else in his family Ranching was their life. Waking up early everyday to start on chores learning the ins and outs of what it meant to be a rancher. Their family has always been very close and its always just been assumed that the next generation would take over when the time came. As such it sent ripples through the Smith family when Oliver's older brother announced we would be going to law school in New York and starting his life there. Tension grew within the family as the previous generations saw this as a betrayal. Things on the ranch were never the same and Oliver knew their life would never be the same for two reasons. One Oliver knew that now everything would fall on them sure they had a young brother and sister but with Jackson leaving and all but being disowned from the family Oliver was now the oldest and had all the responsibilities that came with it.

Second Oliver and their brother were always very close everyone always said it was like they were joined at the hip if they could be together they were Jackson leaving meant loosing their best friend and the only person that knew the truth about them, the only one in their life that didn't refer to them as a boy, and the only one that truly made them feel safe.

Now two years later Oliver's whole family knows about their non-binary status due to a fight between Jackson and their mother somehow leading to Jackson just blurting out the truth about them. Oliver was devastated when their mother confronted them on it but didn't blame Jackson they knew it had to happen sooner or later. It caused some tension in the family but eventually people got mostly over it there is still an occasional comment but its usually not to bad.

Hobbies: Fishing and Drawing

-Personality-
Ezekial is a man of solitude, preferring the company of no one rather than being the center of attention. While most people would go out parting on weekends Ezekial would often just read a book or find himself singing while cleaning. Dealing with Claustrophobia was difficult in his early life but Ezekial often found a way of escape by reading using books as a distraction. When Ezekial is scared or in fear he overthinks every small detail oftentimes finding himself triple-checking almost everything. On the opposite end even when he was happiest in his life, not even his mom could remember a time where Ezekial 'exploded' with happiness, he was always very conservative with his emotions while with others.

HISTORY
-Background-
Ezekial was born the youngest of two siblings into a small family in the southeast portion of the united states. His early life was normal as one could be until he was 8 years old when he was attacked by a rabid dog. The attack terrified him and made him more reclusive than the once bubbling young child he used to be. During his time getting treatment for rabies at the hospital he fell in love with everything related to medicine and told his parents he wanted to be a doctor that helped people when he grew up. After the doctors were sure he was cured of rabies Ezekial was allowed to go home, although he was now home his room felt smaller it was...less. No matter how hard his parents tried to help him Ezekial just couldn't handle being inside for too long, he was only inside for sleeping and school mostly. As the years passed Ezekial eventually graduated high school and went off to college to become a doctor, While not being the best in the class he certainly wasn't the worst potential doctor on the campus, and before his parents knew it he was off to do his residency moving out from their small house. During his time working at the hospital, he fell in love with a girl similar in personality to him, and when she told him that she was pregnant the feeling of it all closing in came back to him and Ezekial felt like he couldn't breathe. So he ran, buying a plane ticket he planned on flying and running away from his problems wanting to run away.

Henrietta had a difficult childhood in strange mix of poverty and decadence that was the turmoil brought forth by the 2007-2008 global financial crisis. Her father was a descendant of German immigrant family named Kirschner. When she was young her parents divorced and her mother re-maried a police officer called Johnson; Henrietta was forced to assume her stepfathers name at school, only to revert to her biological fathers name in adulthood. Rebellious and undisciplined, there was no authority she would respect, neither schoolteacher or her stepfather. Although mischievous, her IQ was deemed high enough that she was allowed to join Mensa International when she was 14, and she graduated from highschool nearly top of her year.

Henrietta has severed ties with her father after her parent’s divorce and reconnected with him only early in adulthood. He introduced her to pilot school, citing the ancestry of Luftwaffe ace fighter pilot in the bloodline of Kirschners; not only did it bond father and daughter together, but also determined Henrietta’s lifestyle for years to come. She later joined the USAF and appointed to the United States Air Force Academy, in the year of her graduation she received Outstanding Cadet in Airmanship award, as the class's "top flyer", following her commissioning as an officer and gaining her pilot wings from UPT program, she was assigned to 35th Fighter Wing, 13th Fighter Squadron and fly F-16C Fighting Falcon in Misawa Air Base, Japan, with the 13th FS she had been deployed to Afghanistan, Iraq and Jordan, most recently in support of Operation Inherent Resolve.

What were you doing on flight 216?
Leaving her old life/family in hopes of finding a new one.
Skills
— Basic mixed martial arts
Personality
Ada is a simple girl with simple needs. She has few concerns when it comes to violence, having a willingness and, occasionally, an eagerness to harm others if it serves her interests. This aggressive attitude, along with her general dislike of authority figures, usually puts her at odds with most of the people around her. Ada is particularly abrasive in ordinary social situations, frequently coming off as insulting when she tries to give compliments and straining credulity when she attempts to be polite. That being said, she understands she will need to work with others in order to survive and will usually try to do the right thing. She tries hard not to get attached to others she can see herself getting along with.
Adelaide sees only in black and white, and judges people harshly as a result. Although it seems like her world has suddenly ended (with the plane crash), she will still strive to take every opportunity she can to 'have a good time', the result of a very strict upbringing she considers herself 'free' for the first time in her life, something she embraces even as she struggles with it. Ada can, for the most part, control herself from not taking drugs or alcohol, refusing to take any kind of drugs, such as pain pills due to the fact she might relapse.

HISTORY

Background
{TW: Substance Abuse}
Adelaide had a very strict upbringing. Her parents were well-off and being the oldest of her siblings, a lot of pressure was put on her to be a good role model for them. From a young age, she was never allowed to do anything without her parents permission and had a set routine, and a non-negotiable bedtime. She made it through her early years of school with high passing grades and at first, she found a small bit of freedom and a release in kickboxing and mixed martial arts.
It wasn't until her family up and moved from Scotland to America, for her father's new job that she fell in the the 'wrong crowd' in her new school and began acting out. First it was breaking her parents curfews. Then it was underaged drinking and partying, until it eventually evolved into experimentation with narcotics and other more extreme drugs. More than a few times she ran away from home and was found days later drugged out of her mind. It was then her parents decided to put her through rehab.
Months later when she returned home she found her family had moved on with their lives and Adelaide found it difficult to 'fit in' again. She could feel herself slipping back into bad habits due to her family acting like nothing had happened. It was then she decided to leave, packing a bag and stealing one of her parents credit cards, she booked a flight to get out of dodge.

— Piecing together clues and solving mysteries

Personality
Jakob can most definitely be described as anxious, hyperactive, and curious. He is a notorious bookworm in his spare time and even given his age, still views the world with a child-like wonder. Since gaining his current job, his social and generalized anxiety has gotten better, having learnt to commune with people of all ages and nationalities. He adores hearing the stories of others and without fail, will write as many down as he can remember at the end of every flight. Every now and then, a situation will pop up causing him to become so overwhelmed he will emotionally shut down or lash out at those around him.
Despite this, Jakob is a loyal person who would do what he can for those he cares about. He is somewhat slow to trust people, having seen a wide variety of people traveling the skies on his planes but once he warms up to someone, he becomes very attached and will do what he can to make them happy and ensure their comfort.

HISTORY

Background
Jakob is an Australian who grew up in a loving household, being an only child, he is extremely close with his parents who are in turn, very protective of him, even now. He spent most of his time with a book in his hand, reading anything of interest at the time. From fiction to non-fiction to historical myths and legends. He breezed through school with decent grades and really only had one good friend. He was definitely not part of that cliche 'popular' group and suffered a lot from social anxiety. He was pushed out of his comfort zone when his parents thought it a good idea to take a 'gap year' before starting university, suggesting he see a little bit of the world. So he got on a plane with his best friend. Little did anyone know, he would enjoy traveling and flying so much, he decided to make a career out of it.

Hobbies
— Spends most of his free time hitting the gym
— 'hitting the town' to explore every restaurant and bar humanly possible

Pain

What were you doing on flight 216?:
Kaylee boarded flight 216 at random in attempt to flee her brother.

Skills:
Fluent in three languages
Marksman

Personality:
Kaylee is easy-going and reserved, most of the time. She tends to withdraw into herself when external conflict occurs as a coping mechanism, unless someone is in need. If a problem arises in a relationship, which they inevitably always do, don't expect Kaylee to be the one to broach the subject. She'd rather to sever ties than fight.

Despite her quiet nature, she's passionate and observant with a sense of humor.

Because she has experienced it first-hand, Kaylee will not tolerate others being mistreated. This will likely be the only time she is seen with a backbone.

HISTORY

Background:

Raised in the Mafia, Kaylee is the odd duck in her family. From playing the violin to drawing caricatures for hospital patients, Kaylee is an enigma to her gun-loving relatives. Someone who is born into that kind of life cannot hope for escape, but Kaylee has always dreamed of an ordinary life with a backyard that doesn't get as much snow as her homeland.

When her brother's crimes went awry and Kaylee was caught in the crossfire, she boarded a random flight to escape retribution.

Hobbies:
Painting
Playing Violin

Quotes:
"You call it family, I call it a dysfunctional prison of monsters."

"Blood has claws and it keeps you in its clutches no matter how relentlessly or desperately you try to escape it. Someday, I'll find the blessed acid to burn it out of my veins."

In a weird way it’s almost like she thrives under pressure, doing some of her best work when fearing for her own life. Ash is a problem solver and combine this with her determination to the point of stubbornness, she will keep tackling a problem until something yields. When straightforward logic fails she will think outside of the box. She focuses on one problem at a time, rather than being overwhelmed by the whole reality of the mess she’s in.
  Ash takes a very ‘we’ll we’ve all gotta die somehow, somewhere’ view to life which many misinterpret as her not caring. She does care, but the things she’s seen have taught her that life is fleeting and she’d rather die saving lives than as an inactive bystander. Her gallows humour tends to catch people off guard, particularly those who aren’t military, as they can’t tell whether she is actually joking or not.
  She’s an excellent team player, working with a diverse group of people is her everyday life and is sociable. She loves a good banter session and possesses both quick wit and a sarcastic tongue. She’s not typical leadership material, but as the EOD tech of the team, she’s often had to make leadership calls and finds herself slipping more and more into the role of leader.
  Ash is a master of deflecting personal questions, she rarely ever mentions her family. Not even her squaddies know she is a twin. She doesn’t brag about her job, she’d rather be vague and say she works abroad than straight up say she’s military. This evasiveness to talk about herself makes some people consider her untrustworthy or think she has something (potentially illegal) to hide.
  Being military and having spent almost a third of her life in an active war zone of some sort, Ash is always on edge and unconsciously looking for danger in her surroundings. She’s always on her guard and finds winding down and relaxing in the presence of strangers near impossible. Some would call it paranoia, she’d call it self protection.
• BACKGROUND
  Ash’s childhood was a complicated one. She was one of two children, the other being her brother Raymond. Despite Ash being the older of the two twins, Ray was the better of the two, a prodigy from a young age. In school he not only excelled academically and was extremely popular he also showed great musical talent. Ash on the other hand was an average student and a tomboy, spending her spare time playing soccer or rugby with the neighbourhood guys instead of devoting her time to studying like her brother. Her childhood was characterised by her parents devoting most of their time, attention and money on Raymond and showing little interest in her life, outside of berating her for not being more like her brother.
  As a teenager Ash began to act out, hoping it would make her parents pay attention to her, hoping it would alleviate the feelings of being an unwanted guest in her own family. It started out as small things, truancy, smoking and underage drinking, but soon escalated to breaking and entering abandoned buildings, stealing cars and illegal street racing. She got her first tattoos around this age. Needless to say she racked up quite a rap sheet and ended up in court. There she was given a choice- go to juvie or go to military boot camp. She chose the latter option.
  And it worked. The structure, discipline and strict training regime turned out to be exactly what this angry teenager needed. The bootcamp took her and shaped her into a confident, physically fit and skilled young woman. During their time at the bootcamp cadets were given the chance to try out various aspects of military hopes, with the hopes that the cadets would go on to serve in a branch of the defence forces after graduation. For Ash her strengths lay with mechanics. She was always the kind of person who liked working with her hands (woodwork and shop were the only school lessons she never played truant from). The potential she’d wasted on stealing cars, the military turned first towards mechanics and later towards bomb defusal. Ash thrived under this new direction- for the first time in her life she’d found something that was hers, that her twin couldn’t beat her at.
  After graduation Ash spent the summer living with her family. It didn’t take very long for her old feelings of being an unwanted stranger among her own blood to return. Her brother would be attending university next academic year on a full honours scholarship. Despite the visibly positive changes their daughter had undergone during her time at bootcamp, Ash’s parents didn't approve in the slightest of her desire to become an EOD technician, saying it was too dangerous. They insisted she attend university like her brother and study something sensible like business or law. Raymond decided to stay neutral on the whole thing, which made Ash brand him as a coward.
  Tensions in the household quickly became unbearable and things ended in a screaming match loud enough for the neighbours to call the police. Ash stormed out with nothing more than a backpack filled with a few sentimental items. Her brother was the only one to follow her, realising she wouldn’t get very far without cash. He told her to do what she wanted and to try and stay in touch before giving her the cash she needed. Since her recruitment Ash has worked in some of the most war-torn areas of the world defusing IEDs with a highly trained team.

What were you doing on flight 216?:
- Aseph was working as one of the flight attendents

Skills:
- He can be a really good leader if he really needed to be, though he preferred if others would take reign while he just helped
- He's a really good climber
- He knows basic CPR and first aid as it was required for his career
-Knows some different types of plants.
-He can speak Spanish, Mandarin, and French. Spanish was his second language and Mandarin and Spanish was languages he learned when he was in school.

Personality: Aseph is good at making other people feel comfortable around him after a little while of talking as he is very personable and friendly looking, which makes people relax and just tell him a lot of things people normally tell strangers. He can be pretty reserved if he is not in work mode as he prefers being in peaceful solitude when he is off the clock. He is a very observant man and when he wants to be he can be very adamant on a certain thing, though he leans more into being "the right hand man" instead of the leader as he can be very afraid of making set decisions for others.

HISTORY
Background: Aseph grew up with his mother and his two other siblings, one older sister and one younger sibling, both from different fathers. His mother was a retail worker, always having at least two jobs while raising him and his siblings so they didn't have much growing up, but was fairly comfortable. Usually kids hyperfixate on space or rocks, but Aseph got interested in plants, so because of this he focused a lot of his knowledge on plants for a couple of years before his interests turned to elsewhere, though he still enjoyed learning about plants. A few times a year since Aseph was 10 his father , from Puerto Rico, would request that his son to fly there to see his side of his family. When going on those trips he couldn't help but look up to the flight attendants as they had been so kind to him every single time and he wanted to become just like them. Once he was old enough to apply to become a flight attendant, he did so, however he wasn't accepted right away. It wasn't until he was turning 20 and working at a clothing store as a manager did he finally get the job as a flight attendant. He quit his job at the clothing store, completed his training and became an official Flight attendant.

PERSONALLikes: Traveling, Bonfires, any competition, Video Games, plantlife
Dislikes: Fish, Rain, Religion, ignorance
Fears: Spiders, Snakes
What were you doing on flight 216?: Helping fly the plane? lol
Skills: Piloting, almost encyclopedic knowledge of plant life
Personality: Mason is rather indifferent in most situations he only really cares about what he is doing and what will benefit him. This causes him to really seem like a dick sometimes and that could very well be true but at the end of the day its not that he is trying to go out of his way to be mean. He just couldn't care less after all the only reason he became a pilot was so he could travel the world.
HISTORYBackground: Mason grew up in the foster system in the U.S. having lost his parents at a very young age he barley remembers a thing about them. All through his young life he jumped from home to home always being promised that the next one would be the right one for him. This caused Mason to adopt the lookout for me first mentality that often causes a strain on his personal relationships, But as far as he is concerned that mentality is what got him this far in life and he had no plans of changing it anytime soon.

During high school Mason took a elective botany class to get some college credits and found that he really found it all fascinating something he never thought he would say. For a while he even planned on making a career out of it and went straight to college at 18 but unfortunately his freshman year mason got into a fight bad enough to get him kicked out also because the other kid's families were huge donors to the school Mason was sure there was some fowl play. This didn't stop mason from learning everything he could though and still to this day has books on botany and such on his person at all times. Eventually Mason realized he wanted to have the chance to travel the world and see all these amazing plants in person so he began diving in trying to find anything job he could that would grant him this opportunity and thus he landed on becoming a pilot.

Hobbies: Gaming (when he can) ,Studying plant life
