Even he, himself, doesn't know who he is anymore. He's lost sight of who he is. To him, however, as long as he still loves acting, he simply doesn't care. To the intuitive, he seems fake.

History:

When his mother was pregnant with him, she left Australia to live with her then-fiance in America. Thus, he was born in San Diego, California. With his mother picking up a job as a scriptwriter for a small-time company and his father being a highly renowned doctor, Vincent actually had quite a spoiled childhood. He could get whatever he wanted if he asked his parents to. He was an only child too, so he never knew the feeling of having to compete for his parents' attention. However, Vincent was a child who cannot stay put inside the house. Every after school, his mother would take her to her job so that she could keep an eye out for him. This was when he became fascinated with acting as he watched. He grew up with the theater troupe that they were practically his family.

All throughout his school, he had been in the Drama Club. He never led it personally, but he has taken some of the lead roles but that's only thanks to him winning auditions and the likes. He's been focused on actually becoming an actor with the approval of both of his parents and to the joy of the Silver Lining Theater Troupe. In high school, he met Stephen since they had gotten a few classes together and the guy helped him out when he felt lost during class. They became quick friends. During his high school days, he's also become part of Silver Lining. The small-time company has become more and more famous and they have actually gone on tours and gotten more members. Their tours took them everywhere, though Vincent didn't join every single one since he also had school to worry about. But he had gone to some plays, whenever they needed an extra teen to play a part.

Accepted into UCLA into the undergrad program of Theater and he chose Musical Theater track with a scholarship thanks to the recommendation of his theater troupe. Despite having actual experience, he's learned so much more. They didn't treat him any differently and Vincent appreciated that. He had taken a break from Silver Lining to finish his college. He also had less time to actually hang out with his friends because he had to focus on training, but he made sure he could see them every now and then and hang out with them. Then, the Stephen Morrison Stream happened. He was so impressed when he thought that it was just a prank - something that Stephen created to show them. He was even proud about the acting of those people. But when Stephen didn't show up, he became all too worried. When Ivy came around to tell them about it, Vincent was more than willing to try and find him.

Because if that was real, then he knew that Stephen was truly in trouble.

"A favorite hero or villain? Hm, I loved playing Captain Hook back in my drama club before. Such an interesting character to play.

If it's superhero movies, then my favorite hero is... Clint Barton probably. It must take a lot to play with the big boys with magic and superior tech and you only have a bow and arrow."

 

[Roleplay Skittle]

Name: Olivia Lynne Verducci

Age: 22

Height: 5’7”

Weight: 130 lbs

Nationality: Italian American

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Gender: Female

Zodiac: Gemini

Occupation: Thrift store associate, independent seamstress, and student at FIDM

Personality Goods:
- Loyalty
- Reliability
- Patience
- Selflessness
- Honesty

Personality Bads:
- Avoidance
- Lazy
- Sometimes speaks without thinking
- Reluctance
- Pacifism

Persona:
Having a temperament that is both sanguine and phlegmatic makes Olivia extremely laid back and easy to get along with. She is not particularly opinionated and generally won’t speak up unless she sees no logic in a situation and requires explanation or is decidedly against it.

While it isn’t always such a big deal, one area where Olivia will speak up is when it comes to her name, she absolutely hates any shortened variation of it as a nickname. Olivia’s friends back in Italy took to calling her Betty after the TV show Ugly Betty because while Olivia is very much into fashion, one wouldn’t generally know it from her appearance because all of her clothing choices tend to be very relaxed.

While being from a family of lawyers and legal professionals has never left Olivia wanting, she is considerably frugal with the way she spends money and typically would rather eat a gas station burrito than go to a fancy restaurant.

While Olivia is comfortable with herself and not very self conscious, she isn’t egotistical and capable of receiving constructive criticism with an open mind. Because of her upbringing and how her father’s family was always very insistent on her path in life, the type of criticism she is unwilling to take is anything involving her personal choices and how she lives her life and she is quick to shut that down.

Hobbies and Talents:
- Fluent in Italian
- Expert Seamstress
- Sometime connoisseur in Italian cuisine
- Not incredibly athletic but she is pretty fit
- Collects eighties’ band memorabilia
- Buying old thrift store clothes and reinventing them
- Riding her bike on her days off
- Never misses movie night every Friday with her brother and mom
- Excellent sketch artist
- Good sense of direction, she likes to explore and it’s difficult for her to get lost
- The one place she lastingly bonded with her grandfather was playing darts, she has excellent aim with thrown objects

History:

Spoiler

Olivia was born and raised in Perugia Italy. Her mother is American and met her father in Italy when she was on her Senior trip in high school. She later chose to attend college in Italy and married Olivia’s father (Donus), an Italian native. Of course his family was against the union, mainly because they were traditional and all of them had some sort of career in law and they disapproved of Janine’s decision to be an interior decorator on account of their thinking it was frivolous and unnecessary. Despite not necessarily having the family’s blessing, Donus married Janine anyway and fairly soon Olivia was born which virtually erased the Verduccis’ displeasure at the union and they did their best to influence her as she grew, sharing everything they could about each of their respective professions, primarily lawyering.

While she was young, Olivia did listen to everything her father’s family had to say, seeming to have a keen interest. Though as she grew older, her interest waned and she caught an eye for design, specifically in fashion. Her father’s family frowned heavily on that, blaming Janine for Olivia’s lack of interest because she had not chosen a more serious career. By this time, Olivia’s little brother (Theodore) had already been born and while Donus’ family was still disappointed in Olivia, they set their sights on teaching Theodore.

Having another child they could try to sway didn’t lessen how harshly they treated Janine and they still tried to pressure Olivia into following their family tradition, even so far as going into the history of their family and how far back it went. Janine had originally thought to tolerate their scorn for the benefit of the children, thinking that perhaps they would become more understanding as they had been when Olivia was small and interested in what they had to say. She was disappointed that she had been wrong and eventually the strain of pressure her in-laws placed on her became too much and when Olivia was in her senior year of high school, Janine filed for divorce and planned to move back to the United States.

Olivia was left with the choice of staying in Italy so that she could move to Milan and attend Istituto Marangoni or moved to the US with her mother and attend the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles.

While attending school in Milan had been her dream ever since she had gotten interested in fashion, she felt like she couldn’t let her mother move back to the US and care for her little brother by herself. Theodore was only seven at the time and Olivia didn’t like the idea of Janine having to work and look after him on her own and so decided to travel back to the US with both of them despite the Verducci’s displeasure at the whole situation.

It was difficult at first when she made the move to California with her mom and brother, she had left behind basically her entire life in Italy. Her friends that had affectionately called her Betty, were all going on to Milan without her and the only way she could keep in touch with them was through social media, she’d no longer have them in her day-to-day life. Needless to say, her start in Los Angeles was quite lonely simply because she didn’t know anyone.

Of course shortly into her first year, Olivia met Stephen and after talking for a bit, he realized that he had a couple of people he’d like her to meet. This introduction would prove very beneficial to Olivia, a stranger in a foreign country, and give her individuals that she not only got along with well but that could help her get adjusted to her new life.

It had been just like any other day, Olivia had been sitting at her desk goofing off on her computer and chatting with her friends while she sewed a hole Theodore had torn in a pair of his pants that day. She had just been laughing about something one of her friends back in Italy had said as she cut the thread on the pants when the stream popped up on her feed. She didn’t have much of a reaction at first, slow to process exactly what the video could mean and at first she thought Stephen was making some sort of horror spoof. She couldn’t have been more wrong and that fact was only brought more so into light when her messages started blowing up, they were just about the only thing that shook her out of her shocked stupor.

She didn’t understand how people could just ignore it. Were they really just going to forget about him so easily? Even if everyone else forgot or just didn’t want to do anything about his disappearance, there was a small group of people that wouldn’t lose him to history or whatever damning darkness had engulfed him - and she was one of them.

“Definitely Loki. He's just so versatile, even if he's kind of chaotic... okay, a lot chaotic.”

James Woods
22 - Male - 6'0" - 184lbs - Heterosexual - Taurus - American
​

Positive traits

• He cares a lot about people that are good to him
• Loyal
• Will always try to do the right thing
• Takes a logical approach to every situation
• Reliable, can be trusted to come through when you really need him

Negative traits

• His obsessiveness puts a heavy strain on himself and those close to him
• Allows his instincts and impulses to drive him to conclusions
• Finds it difficult to say no to people he cares about
• Despite his reliability he can be inconsistent on a lot of things

P e r s o n a l i t y
James is a sensitive and loving person beneath a strong, hard exterior built up from years of having to protect himself. He’s not afraid of a fight and will stand up for himself when he has to. The most important things to him are family, love, trust, honesty- without those things he seriously questions what separates mankind from beasts. James is a caring person and will go above and beyond for those who have treated him well. He’s a bit of an introvert and mostly keeps to himself when amongst people he’s not comfortable with. Used to living humbly for much of his life, James has no materialistic instincts and as a result is very generous with what possessions he does have. The downside is that his selflessness often leads him to neglect himself. His health and even personal life sometimes suffers. He has a difficult time saying no, even when he really knows he should if it concerns someone he cares about.
He's great at starting relationships and despite the importance he places on them finds it hard to keep them in a good spot. He's not very good at communicating intimate, heartfelt emotions and prefers to show his meaning through actions. He is very curt and to the point though he loves a good joke and often looks for the humor in situations.
Though he is not quick to judge, James has a good sense for analyzing a person's character. He is able to put himself into the shoes of others to help him understand how they think and that helps him filter through the people he comes in contact with. If he dislikes you, it's probably for good. He’s always been one to trust his instincts and is impulsive as a result. He tends to make awful decisions when he’s emotional. There's a certain aura about him that makes him feel trustworthy and easy to talk to for people - or so he's been told.

H i s t o r y
James grew up poor in a family of five; he was the youngest child so he rarely got anything new and wore his elder brothers hand me downs. As a result he was picked on a lot. Being the sensitive person he is he used to allow the bullying until it reached a breaking point and he started to fight back. He gained a bit of a reputation as a 'bad boy' following that but it couldn't be further from the truth. One of the few people who took the time to actually get to know him was Stephen. They became friends and bonded over some common interests. Stephen was the one who encouraged James to work harder to attend college since none of his family had ever gone or even knew anything about higher education. He also introduced James to his larger circle of friends and though James never truly felt like he fit in he at least felt that he was accepted by most of them.
When the stream happened he had a difficult time determining if it were real or not. It was so like Stephen and yet so unlike him. Of course when he'd gone AWOL James was certain something was wrong and felt the least he owed to his friend was to make an attempt to find him.
