Personal Reflection​

What do you think of yourself?
"Well, for starters,I always know what's up. Come to me if you need anything, if you need a discussion. We live in a world where society is constructed by racism, it what it's built on it's still around today. I'm just someone who recognizes the small center of reality - the brick that keeps everything from crashing. I say stick it to the man, fuck anyone who says anything else 'cause they don't know shit. You gotta know what happened before you to fix what happens ahead, you know what I'm sayin'? And that's how I live. No, I'm not saying to dwell in the past but everything is based on the struggles that hold everyone back so you can't just forget shit like that. Don't hold grudges on the white man but you better know what the fuck's going on around here and make a move on it."
What do you think your freshman year will be like?
"This year? First year of college? It's gonna be great, I plan on joining some clubs or something, getting a job, making friends. I'm looking to find myself among others who want to do the same thing as me, you know? I don't expect much to come out of this year but anything would be amazing. I just wanna know I'm helping do what's right in the future and that I'm not laying on my ass doing nothing."​

Psychological Evalution​

Despite how much Demarius thinks he's doing things right for those in his community, he can be careless. It takes him a while to consider other sides of stories, particularly when it comes to racial injustices. He just always thinks of the bad things that someone could be using as an attack on his brothers and sisters. He constantly sees things as something to protest or argue about. Which isn't necessarily bad, but it's not perfect, it's a bit of a flaw sometimes. Not to say that being 'woke' as he'd put it is wrong but that's all he ever focuses on. Aside from how much he focuses on protesting racial injustices in the country, he's a good guy. He's young and he feels free - which he is. He likes partying and talking, letting himself loose is the go-to but in some situations he can get a bit tense. He has a bit of a temper that he doesn't fully recognize so don't be surprised if he comes out with an attitude and a heap of sarcasm.​

Biography​

Demarius grew in a small town in Ohio with his mother, aunt, grandmother, and his nephew. They weren't America's picture perfect family but they sure were something. In Demarius' eyes they stood for something bigger than he could say. They looked out for each other. They lived in a town that felt like you were still back in the 60s or something. Blacks still lived in half the neighborhood and whites in the other half. But they were all in just as equally bad situations as the rest. The main issue was some of the white guys thinking it was okay to drive around the neighborhood with confederate flags by the time Obama was president. Demarius was old enough to know what that meant but not old enough to understand that he could do something about it - that there were worse things going on in the world and people were unaware.

Growing up, him and his friends stayed on the North side of town where most of the black families lived. They went to church every Sunday with their family's and then they'd go out to the playground around the corner to mess around. Demarius didn't grow up with a father but instead three worried women who told him what to do and when to do it in order to keep him safe. And he listened. Of course he listened. They weren't in a town where things usually happened but taking a risk one day would never be an option.

In High School, a group of kids started a club that spoke about social injustices. They had workshops, which nobody ever went to, and discussions. They were a small group but they opened Demarius' eyes to what went on in the world. Things he wasn't aware about. It was interesting to learn and hear about all of these new things that explained racism and how it worked among other things. In their small town it was strange, strange for people to want to talk about those things. Nobody took a second thought about why things were the way they were or what they meant.

Demarius found himself a part of a world that he had missed out on his whole life. He truly enjoyed these conversations and hearing about things that currently went on in the world no matter how bad they were. Looking forward to the disgusting things people like police officers were doing in modern times, being aware of implicit biases but not his own, was like opening his third eye. He saw the world in a whole new light. He saw a world where he needed to help his brothers and sisters that couldn't see what he saw. Or at least what he thought he saw. Among everything he'd learned, he also lost the part of himself by thinking just about anything that seemed to wrong people of color was an attack on himself.

Now on the topic that was brought up earlier, something that sparked a revolution in Demarius' mind of what white people were capable of deep down. One that sparked bias and a bit of hate, something he didn't realize. When he was around fourteen, grown men would drive an old beat up truck into the North side of town. The black part. The projects, specifically. Two men would drive in the car, cackling, and their friend in the back of the truck. That friend held a large, old confederate flag. Now some people say, 'that's not possible, Ohio isn't racist'. Well joke's on you, Demarius would say, they're (racists) anywhere they wanna be. Demarius remembered being out with his friends, each of them too focused on messing around to focus on the men's slowing truck in front of them. They came to a stop and then jumped out. That's what caught their attention. The strange silence. Demarius could remember looking around and seeing the worried face's of parents as the men went over to a young black girl. They yelled at a girl only about ten years old. They called her names, waved their flag in her face. They didn't leave until the girl's father stepped out with a gun. That was the day that changed Demarius' life because all he'd done was stood there. He ran back home as the men drove off, sitting around and questioning what they meant. What did it symbolize that men in his own town could terrorize a little girl for white power? Nothing defined Demarius more than that day. It shaped his views and how he thought. It made him who he was. But it also cause the underlying fear that not being fearful of the power of white people could lead to something far worse. So staying 'woke' per say, on what went on, was the safest thing you could do. It would always be the best shield.

  Character's thoughts about themselves (and on coming in as a freshmen for the freshmen)
  "I try to be someone who is nice and gets along with everyone but everyone just keeps trying my patience. They think that I think I'm all that because girls wanna be me and their man wanna date me. Truth be told though, I could care less. I've got way too much on plate to worry about what these people think. For starters, college. Parties, academia, possibly a sorority house, college MEN and no more high school boys. On the outside I'm chillin' but on the inside, ya girl is freaking out."
  
  Psych Eval - a paragraph or so describing the character's personality (not their likes and dislikes ..but how they respond to situations, their general temperament etc.)
  Symone is one of those people who do care about what people think, but won't admit to it. She has this sense about herself that if she appears a certain way, people will find her appealing. The fact that she likes to please people may be one of her many downfalls, taking things people say to heart, even if they're joking. It's why she cares so much about her physical appearance and her personality. But just because she's a people pleaser doesn't mean she'll just let people walk all over her. If she doesn't like someone, which is rare because she literally likes everyone, then she'll show it. Her intentions of not hurting someone's feelings by not outright telling them she doesn't like them are in the right place; she just goes about it all wrong. If someone claim they don't like her, then depending on the reason why or if she liked them will determine how she responds. Her emotions are kind of strong, feeling everything more intensely than most people do. When she falls for someone she falls hard and puts her all into it, not really caring much about the consequences. Though she isn't one to even fall hard for someone, almost always being guarded. Her attitude makes her difficult to approach, resting bitch face alert, but her personality makes her easy to befriend. To some.
  
  In depth background (3 Paragraph Minimum)
  Symone's parents weren't married when she was born, making her kind of a bastard child. They were both in the army making her an army brat. Symone's mother had no intentions whatsoever in staying with her 'sperm donor' and took her away first chance she got. As soon as the PCS orders came through, they were packed up and gone. You see, her father never really made any type of effort to see her or send her letters, despite her mom sending him letters and their location every time they moved. Even before she was born he was a sack of shit and not worth anything, so her mom didn't really expect him to be around much. Them leaving him behind was the best thing that could have happened for Symone; her heart would at least be safe. But for the rest of the time growing up, it would prove to be the worst.
  
  Symone's mother never remarried, too busy with work and raising her alone. Luckily when you're in the army, you all have each other's backs and have the support one might need. Even though she had tons of father figures in her life, she still never really had a dad. In school she would have to stay home during the Father-Daughter Balls and things, always rejecting offers. She soon grew out of that whole 'woe is me, I don't have a dad' thing when she got to middle school. At the army bases where the schools were filled with just military kids, she got to see how some of them didn't have dads or moms because they were lost in wars. She no longer felt bad for herself that she didn't had one. Instead, she felt bad that she didn't look like some of these other kids.
  
  Her middle school years were rough. She tried to fit in with everyone and be their friend but when they didn't want to be hers, she didn't understand. Maybe she wasn't pretty enough or have enough money. Her mom, at the time, wasn't an officer or a general or anything like that and didn't have a lot of money. While most kids were wearing designer she was wearing brands no one had even heard of. Other kids were wearing make up and her mom wouldn't even let her touch the stuff. She was rejected, base after base she went hoping to be accepted but never was. Until, of course, high school.
  
  She had gotten into sports and when you play sports you learn to eat better and drink more water. That, plus puberty, led to clear skin that everyone was jealous of and a nice toned body that everyone wanted. Around this time her mom became more laid back with her new job and higher paychecks, which led to more money and makeup. She also learned to appreciate the off-brand clothes she was wearing, just upscaling them to look nicer than the other kids. This gave her more kudos to those popular kids that invited her into their circle. With them always asking how she did her makeup, she decided to charge them for tips and to apply. It was like overnight she became popular and the most hate and loved girl in school.
  
  Now that she's graduated, in the top ten students might I add, she's hoping to leave the shenanigans of high school behind her and start anew.

Character's thoughts about themselves
"I'm fine as wine and loving it. People say I'm too much of this or not enough of that, but me? I think I'm just enough of everything, honey."

Celeste loves herself. Some people may say she loves herself a bit too much, but to her there's no such thing. From the majestic curls of her thick hair, to the plumpness of her lips and the deep dark brown color of her eyes and skin, to way her body moves when she hears a good beat, she believes that she is truly perfect the way she is, and that no one is ever going to take that away from her.

Psych Eval

Celeste has never been known as one of the calmest people around. This isn't just in reference to her rather short temperature, but to her overall outgoing attitude. Celeste likes to try and live everyday for the fullest, and if she can help it, not take a single moment for granted. After coming so close to losing her life as a child, she realized that life can be taken away from you in the blink of an eye. So she makes time to enjoy things, whether it's the little ones like dancing in her kitchen to her favorite Lauryn Hill song, or the big ones like preforming on stage and seeing the world.

Even in moments when she wants to fall apart, Celeste does her best to exude confidence at all times. Preferring to never come off as weak or close to giving in, she puts on her brave face and toughs through it. Sometimes, her small stature confuses people. Leads them to think that can talk to her and treat her however they want, believing she'll be complicit. But this is far from the truth. She has a low tolerance for respect and is quick to let others know that as well and sometimes goes back and forth with others for longer than the situation calls for. She'll tell you that in her defense, she just doesn't like to back down or let anyone get away with hurting her. But that's mostly just a cover for her being unable to admit defeat. On top of being so outgoing, she's also rather brash. While she is rather sensible on a day to to day basis, whenever things get hectic or even dangerous, she acts on the first thing that comes to mind, which is often times rather extreme. Some examples being reacting violently or destructively when she's fired up enough.

Despite how brash she is, how outgoing she is and how much she loves to party, at her core Celeste is still very emotional and needs more support than she'd like to admit. At the end the day, sometimes she just wants to be held. Someone to bare her soul too. Someone she trusts enough talk about the night terrors has of the horrible thing that happened to her as a child or someone who won't judge her for how paranoid she gets during storms. She's always there for her friends, willing to fight for them and be by their side, she just needs to let her guard down enough and lay down her sword so someone who;s willing can do the same for her.



In depth background

Celeste was born to Nadine and Julius one a sweltering summer day down in New Orleans, Louisiana. Nadine being an immigrant from Haiti, and Julius being a first generation Haitian American. Her father and mother loved each other, although that was something she had to continuously remind herself of with the way they bickered sometimes. She was from two worlds. Someone on the outside would think were the same, but in reality were completely different. Celeste found herself caught between two different worlds that she loved dearly. Her mother raised to her to be able to speak kreyol backwards and forwards, unlike her father. By the time she was 14 she could make diri kole with her eyes closed and one hand tied behind her back. Every meal she cooks has a rice dish and every January 1st, she's celebrating with a bowl of soup joumou. When they were able, Celeste's mother made sure her daughter got to see her home land. They would travel to Haiti when possible and she'd really see just how different her mother's and father's upbringings were.

While she loved everything about her Hatian roots, she loved the culture she grew up from her father's side as well. He was one who would try and get her out of going to mass some some days so they could have ice cream and go to the park. He was the one who gave her permission to get a tattoo that she promptly had to have removed. Despite the tug of war she was in the middle of growing up, she grew up to be a perfect blend both her mother and father, even if they still have trouble being on the same page themselves sometimes.

Celeste is able to look back on the better part of her childhood rather fondly. She was the only child of her parents, but if no one had told her otherwise, she'd think that her many cousins were all her brothers and sisters. Her family was pretty close knit despite being so large. She was always able to count on having a few of them in her class, much to the chagrin of whoever was teaching them. Her childhood was like any other. It had it's tears and laughter. It's scrapped knees and fun filled family nights. She thought that's what life would be like, a few ups, a few downs but in the end things work out. She never thought that she would lose everything in just one day...until she did. Towards the end of August in 2005, her hometown of New Orleans was hit by a hurricane that claimed the lives of close to 2000 people, and those who did survive were left to make their way thorough a living hell. Celeste, at the age of nine, was one of these people. She doesn't like to recall the details very much. The bitter taste of the water as it filled her lungs. The dread when asking around for family members she hadn't heard from in days. The grief when she realized that some of them, she would never see again.


After the storm, she and her parents left New Orleans behind and moved to New York to live with her aunt, who'd opened her home to them after they lost their's. Being taken away from her home was both good and bad for Celeste. She'd left behind the horrors that she now acquainted with New Orleans, but now she was in a new place where hardly anything was familiar to her. Celeste was a shell of herself. If she'd had doubts about a God before, they were certainties now. Nothing about her was the same as before. Her appetite was almost non-existent, she never got out of bed unless she was physically forced too. She never laughed or smiled. Some days she wouldn't even speak. She went through the motions of going to school and coming home, but for while she felt nothing. That is until one day when her class took a trip to see a ballet at a theater. Despite her not wanting to go, Celeste's aunt urged her to, saying that she may enjoy it. Eventually she agreed to attend, and from that day on her life changed. She didn't just like the ballet, she fell in love with it. Something about the way the dancers moved, the way the music and the movements told a story. The grace and beauty of it all had drawn her in, and given her a new drive in life.

That night, she returned home and begged her parents to allow her to take dance classes. Relieved that she had passion again and wanted to do something, her parents agreed. From that day forward, Celeste, her parents, and her aunt put in the work needed for her to pursue her dream. She began taking ballet classes and as soon as she was able, she got a job so she could help pay for them. What followed in the next for years was a passion, maybe even an obsession with dance. It became more than just a talent, a hobby or a passion; it became her outlet for emotions. For her grief, her joy, her fear. Dance became her everything.

After all the years spent grieving, Celeste began to find happiness again and see the good things in life. While she's still haunted by her past as evident by her nightmares and flashbacks, she's doing her best to move on and keep the new purpose she's found in life.​

thoughts about herself
"I think there's more to life than school and work. When I write I become someone that I know I should be. I know that sometimes I lose contact with the world, but the world isn't where I belong. I am a free spirit entrapped inside this physical body."

Psych Eval
Saruh is an Enigma in perhaps the worst way. She is probably the most apathetic person in the world. Selfish, probably wouldn't be a good description considering that she goes to bat for her little brother, but she is distant and often emotionally broken. She is a wonderful problem solver when it comes to other people's problems, but she tends to shut down when it comes to her own.

Background​

What was the criteria for an easy life? I'm sure that statement was always meant in a relative context. From a financial standpoint, Saruh had it easy. She was born the first of two, to parents who had made successful careers in law. Her mother was a defense attorney, who had defended many of the local celebrities of Atlanta in their high profile case, while her father was on the other end. He was a District Attorney, before that he was a very successful lawyer. This made Saruh's upbringing in Atlanta very easy.

She grew up infatuated with arts, which her mother welcomed. She picked up a paintbrush at the age of 4, and by the age of 6 had pieces of her work featured in the local museums. At the age of 5 she picked up the piano, and then the guitar. Overtime she picked up many other instruments, and eventually learned over 20. She found music was her calling, and would spend days just sitting outside in the grass just singing and listening to the sounds of nature. Her favorite thing to do was wake up early, and listening to the calls of the morning birds, even joining in sometime.

It was when she was about 12, when some high profile case about a group of kids being killed by cops caught her mother's attention. This started her transition from defense attorney, to an interest of Civil Rights cases. It seemed that her once loving nature, went with it. After some wins and some losses, she began to resent the arts and Saruh's infatuation of them. Saying as a straight A student, she was wasting her time. She needed to use her brain to help her people, or it would be such a waste.

Her mother started putting Saruh into special classes and into a special school. This school allowed Saruh to receiver her high school diploma early, finishing at 14, and having her A.A. in Paralegal Studies by 16. If it were up to her mother, Saruh would have transferred straight to Georgia State to finish up, and enter law school by 18, but her father saw the unhappiness in her so after speaking with Saruh, he struck a deal with her mother. She'd work for his firm as a Paralegal, but she'd go back to High School and spend half the day there (the mornings) so she can have a normal life.

Though it was short lived, as the next year (her junior year) her father left to be a named partner at one of New York's biggest firms, she was still afforded this opportunity of schedule just at her mother's firm. Saruh would spend her final two years in High School that way. Working part time at her mother's firm during the school year. 830-12 she'd take her AP classes and 12:30- 6, she'd work at her mother's firm. During the breaks she'd work full time. Using the money she earned and all her free time, she'd dive into music. Writing, singing, recording, using almost every last dime she had to chase her dream. Her mother seemed to disapprove of her choices, but because it was her money and she was working at her firm, she couldn't stop her. Instead she would remind her every five minutes that she was wasting her time, and that she was worthless as a paralegal but if she focused she'd be great, she was wasting her potential.

It wasn't until Saruh graduated (again?) that she chose to choose Dubois despite her mother pushing her for Columbia. She was finally moving to New York with her husband in a year or so, having only stayed in Atlanta when her son returned and was thriving at Football at Norcross High. Saruh initially chose to Major in Theatre and Music. So though she had a full scholarship, her mother didn't help her with the extra expenses and so she worked at a cafe her Freshman year, saving up all her money to just use towards music (and weed.) It wasn't until she was able to broker a deal with her mother, that all that change. She get a law degree (Psychology Pre-Law), join her Sorority (Alpha Kappa Alpha Inc.) and she'd pay for her an apartment and give her a monthly allowance of 2,000.

Of course Saruh agreed, because it meant more time to focus on music..but her mother had gotten what she wanted still....

Thoughts about himself
"If it wasn't for music, I don't think I'd be here right now. There's a a lot about me that I still need to figure out, but one thing I'm sure of is that, I'll always have music."

Psych Eval

Elliot is a rather calm person. He's rather reserved and rather serious in general, but especially when it comes to his work. He gets a rap for being pretty sensitive, but he doesn't see it. He just sees himself as being someone who isn't afraid to hide his emotions. He's never been the type to see the point of putting a brave face most of the time. Whatever he feels, he shows. When it comes to music, he always knows what he's doing, but his relationships on the other hand a different story entirely. and those often send his mind on never ending downward spiral of overthinking and making hasty emotions fueled by his emotions more than anything else.

In depth Background (WIP)

No one is quite sure where Elliot was born or who his birth mother is. All that's known about him is that he was abandoned as baby on the steps of a Police Department in Atlanta, Georgia. He was put into the foster care system where he remained for a few months before being adopted Chloe and Nova, a lesbian couple that took him in as their own. They were quite an unconventional family from the outside looking in. Chloe was Irish, Nova was Latina, and Elliot was black. They always got strange looks when they were out in public together and his friends would always double take when they met his moms for the first time.

However he wishes that it was only the weird stares he had to deal with growing up. They were never fun to deal with of course, but they were definitely the least of what had to deal with growing up as a black kid in Atlanta with two moms. His mothers always did their best to make sure he had the easiest upcoming possible. They told him from the beginning that there would those who would give him a hard time because of the way he lived. In kindergarten, he made two mothers day cards in class every year as the teachers and students would look on in confusion, but on fathers's day, it was him who was confused. There was no doubts that he loved his mothers and that they loved him, but as they wanted him when he was younger, there would be those who wouldn't see things the same way.

People who called him names as he walked down the hallway. Pussy. Bitch. Pansy. A plethora of their insults. There was the time someone stuffed his locker full of pads and tampons. The times he would be unfortunate to caught by a group that thought it was funny jump him and punish him because he wasn't a "real." man. The ones who insisted he stay away from them because if his parents were gay then surely he was too. Despite changing schools multiple times and reporting the incidents to his principle he was never able to get away from the bullying. Because no matter how many times he moved or changed schools, he wasn't able to run away from hatred. No one was. The most thing he and his parents were able to do was stick together. The one thing that kept him going through the years was music. He'd taught himself to play the piano and while there were still hard times, his music is what kept him going

Character's thoughts about themselves
In terms of how Eddie feels about all this he honestly would call this all a waste of time, but its what his mother always wanted for him so he cant complain. If Eddie had to be honest he has no plans of ever using what he learns here once he gets out. In terms of how he is he knows hes got it made already and he is cocky and knows it, but who wouldn't be when your a rap star hmm?

Psych Eval - a paragraph or so describing the character's personality
Eddie is what one would call a free spirit. Always wanting more out of life, never wanting to just stay in one place and slow down. A real party guy Eddie has been known to go enjoy himself though surprisingly still being very responsible. Often Eddie is a troublemaker and is always looking to have fun and mess around which in serious cases isn't good for him. Though under all the roudyness Eddie holds a calmer, sweeter side to him. Generally being a sweet guy Eddie has been known to have a soft spot for women, treating all girls he interacts with, with care and compassion. Eddie is very vulnerable though. Hes quick to fall in love and gets hit hard when hes heartbroken. Often he doesn't feel he deserves love or the affections of another so he tries to avoid more intimate situations.

Character's thoughts about themselves
"Look if you don't stand for anything, you fall for everything.

Psych Eval - a paragraph or so describing the character's personality (not their likes and dislikes ..but how they respond to situations, their general temperament etc

It's very easy to be fooled into thinking Benjamin is nothing more than a wild card, party animal that cracks lame jokes all the time. And while all of that is definitely true, there's more to him that. Ben greatest passion isn't partying or playing video games, although they definitely are a big part of his life, but he's very dedicated to social justice. Ben is very outspoken about social justice and doesn't hesitate to call anyone out on their bigotry, no matter who they are. It's earned him a bad rap with some, but great deal of respect with others. It's no secret to him that annoys people, but he'd rather speak out and be disliked for for it by some than stay silent. He responds to most situations eloquently for the most part. He won't raise his voice or use obscenities, but will instead go into a passionate, yet articulate speech and drag whoever he's talking to for everything their worth. But if he's pushed too far? That's a different story entirely...

thoughts
"I didn't think much of it when I came to America when I was a child. I felt I'd always be who I was. Polite, traditional, calm. That didn't change no matter what I did. Martial Arts, Skateboardin, baseball. Nothing really changed in me. Even when I served my two years in the military, I still stayed the same. Maybe a little more disciplined here and there. Not really an excitable person, though I do get excited.

I figured maybe something was broken in me. I would watch tv, ride around and see the other who liked me excited and hyphy as they called it in the bay area. But here I was...So I figured, why not go figure that part of me out? My dad seemed to have it, my grand ma too. So that's my purpose here at Dubois, but I don't think it's going to change anything too much."
background
Justin was born to a single mother in South Korea. His father was a visiting Major in the USMC. Because he wasn't intentional, and his mother wanted to stay with her family, that's where he stayed. He grew up Korean for all intentions, though he learned both English and Korean, he never saw himself as American. He spent most of his days in a suburb of Busan, helping his uncle in a temple and helping his mother with her resort that provided a 'traditional' Korean experience in a port city.

He was a student of Hapkido, the Korean martial art, preferring it over others because of its focus on counters and quick strikes. He was big into sports, choosing to play soccer and basketball. His life was rather uneventful until he was 13 and his mother was diagnosed with Lung Cancer. He believed his mother to be strong, and though he was worried about her, he believed that she'd get through it.

Imagine the shock when he was pulled from school to speak to his mother one last time on her deathbed. Even as a child he didn't show much emotion, but he couldn't hide the fear and tears that were streaming down his cheeks. Her last wish for him was to live with his father and learn who he was a whole. So when the school year wrapped up, he and sister were on a plane moving his life to San Francisco.

His father was a Colonel in the Marine, and having been in for over 20 years his pay was phenomenal, especially thanks to his MOS. They lived in an affluent white community, and his mother (Haha's grandmother) was going to be his main caretaker. He went through High School playing sports, playing video games, etc, typical teenager life, and though his grand mother was from the hood in Oakland (this was an adjustment for him) upon graduation, he decided that he would follow his mother wishes, and learn what it meant to be black.​

Psych Eval
Time and a good ol' southern grandmother did Kenny well. A bit of a troubled child, Kenny has grown to be a gentleman. He handles most situations with class, and is very disciplined and focused. He tends to make bad decisions still, and has a bit of a drinking problem he has gone to rehab for, and been suspended from the team for it. He generally puts loyalty over everything and goes to bat for his sister. A southern gentleman through and through, Kenny still has a long way to go to learning how to make good choices, but he has full faith in God that it'll pull him through.
thoughts
"Work hard, play harder."
background:
Kenneth Braxton Austin was the youngest of two siblings, born to two heavy hitters in Law. It was no wonder that when he started to become too much of a problem child, his mother sent him down to Fort Worth, Texas in a sort of Beyond Scared Straight type program. Well, it wasn't really a program but his grandmother was that typical old-fashioned hard-nosed black grandma who ain't take no mess. Anytime Kenny acted out, he was met with a switch..or a broom..or an extension cord..somtimes a brick...His schedule allowed for little time for other things, it was school (a catholic school), chores, and sleep. As he got older, it became, school, chores, church, football. He would grow and grow, discipline finally letting his intelligence shine through. Sophomore year of High School, he returned to Atlanta and attended Norcross High to continue his football career.

There he became a standout athlete, earning a 3.8 GPA and becoming a 5 star recruit. He graduated early from high school, choosing to attend school at Texas A&M, and enrolling early. He decided along with the coaches that it'd be best to Redshirt so he could focus on transitioning into college, but his Redshirt Freshman year, he earned the starting spot and took the team to a 10-3 record, and earning offensive freshman of the year honors. He was pegged to lead the team to Championships, but in the off season he got into some trouble and was kicked off the team. When Dubois heard that a son of some of their most successful alum, and sibling of a currenty student was looking for a place to land, they jumped at the opportunity. This was a pivotal season, one in which they were vying to get into D-1 FBS. The ACC had a tentative invite to join their basketball team in the conference, but they required three 10 win seasons in a row. This was the third season, and they pitched to him that he wouldn't have to sit out and still could play for a winning team. So he took this opportunity to rebuild his name and brand.

Leaving College Station and heading back to Georgia might have been the change he needed. He had goals to play for the NFL, and that meant he needed to have his act together on the field and off. He was doing well in his classes, having a 3.8 a double major in 'real majors, but he needed NFL teams to believe he wasn't a liability. That he wouldn't make the team look bad, and with Saruh their to guide him, he felt like he could do it.​

Character's thoughts about themselves (and on coming in as a freshmen for the freshmen)

(About themselves)

Just hoping they don't screw up.

(About coming in as a freshman)

Slivers of hope for a better life and maybe a few friends.

Psych Eval - a paragraph or so describing the character's personality (not their likes and dislikes ..but how they respond to situations, their general temperament etc.)

Bean is quiet and easy to approach, they can talk about almost anything and isn't afraid to speak their mind. They usually respond in a calm and logical manner, though this is often taken as cold due to the lack of emotion in the delivery. Flores isn't afraid of other people if they know what they want and who they are, but don't be surprised if they seem a bit uncomfortable answering personal questions, even if the questions come from close friends.

In depth background (3 Paragraph Minimum)

Bean's mom left with a bang when they were young. La Madre had gotten fed up with Bean's father and packed her bags and left Bean and their father alone. Their father wasn't much better, when Bean came out to him the usually violent and drunk father would lash out more often and violently. One night it got so bad that their father smashed a wine bottle on their head, one of the glass pieces got into their left eye and wasn't taken out much later. The glass was big and almost got to their brain but they took it out before it was pushed further in and caused more damaged.

Other than their bad home life, school wasn't much better. They tried their best to keep up with all the other subjects, but music and art was the only one they excelled at. These classes were just tiny pinpricks of light in a world that was blurred and dark, filled with sharp stabs of pain. They looked up to artists like Frida Kahlo and musicians like EDEN, people who worked for themselves and put themselves into their art. Soon, they had albums of music, unpublished and private, known only to themselves.

Even though they had an escape, that didn't stop them from feeling the pain and loneliness. Soon, they turned on themselves taking out their hatred on their own body, they starved themselves, they hurt themselves on purpose. They thought they had finally gotten with the program, they felt miserable, yet convinced that this is what everyone, even themselves wanted. After they could count the scars on their arms and go past ten a new kid transferred to their school. Bean became infatuated, and fell so hard they broke. She was The One in Bean's eyes, no one could replace her. They composed pieces just for her, every second was spent thinking about her. A light seemed to surround her, Bean was attracted to her like a moth drawn to a flame. But, like all moths, they came out with less than they had. She died in a car accident, Bean wasn't invited to the funeral, so they held their own in their room.

After that, they gave up on building walls and built domes. They could be easily approached, but no one knew them. Bean had decided to not let anyone truly know them. Dubois was just a chance to get better with their art and music, maybe make a few friends. But really they don't care what happens, as long as they can go home and play their music.

Persona

Thoughts on myself:
"This seems very conceded. But I think I am a very kind person. I just want everyone to get a long and lean all that I can so that I can understand every ones. I also want to take care of those performing to the best of their abilities."​

Psych Eval:
Maui is the embodiment of the phrase "doing her best". Maui is generally very sweet, very open, and very considerate. She often smiles at everyone she meets and shows respect to those all around her (to the best of her abilities) because that's how she was raised. Maui is very chill and calm, even in the most hectic situations. She's level headed and thinks about life often.

She can give off a "hippy" vibe because of all of her talk about life and how she's discovering herself ect. When she runs into a problem, she takes the time to think it through and use the life knowledge she's gained over the years to help her solve a problem. She usually doesn't ask for help, when it comes to a problem that she started.

All in all, Maui's a wonderful person to know. She's the type of person who will have conversations with a stranger for hours. She'll tell her life story without a second thought. She's just a soul floating through life doing what she can to help. The only thing is her english isn't the best since she was raised in a foreign country, so if you hear her slip, help her out.​

Background

Background:​

Maui was born to two loving parents that gave her freedom at a young age. She grew up in a small house with no doors. Sounds unsafe, huh? Well in the Philippines it's not that uncommon. She and her parents lived in a hut near the beach on Boracay. The people were always watching out for each other and an open door policy was a must. Because of this, children were allowed to do as they pleased as long as they checked in.

With this, Maui tended to roam the beaches and the forests around her. She grew up surrounded by people, made many new friends, went on many adventures, and learned many lessons and a little about life. By the time she was ten, Maui did small odd jobs at the stands on the beach from serving drinks to doing the traditional Philippine dance for tourists. From tourists is also where she learned most of her english.

Since Boracay was such a hot spot for tourist, she met many new people and ones that intrigued her. One woman, Janeesha, sat with Maui on the beach one day and changed Maui's life. Janeesha had something about her that was special and unique, something Maui had never seen before. She was so calm, laid back, yet so different at the same time. She was like an ever changing flower and Maui wanted to know each intricate little thing that made her this way. Janeesha was in Boracay for two weeks and agreed to teach Maui what she could about herself. She opened up a whole new world and culture to Maui that made her want to know everything about Janeesha's origins.

After meeting Janeesha, Maui decided to study and learn the culture Janeesha opened her up to. So, she began doing research and learning all she could about African Americans. She began to listened to music only by black men/women or ones that really spoke to her. She began to get heavily into sports when she began studying and decided that she wanted to work in sports. Not as an athlete herself, but as someone who helps them make healthy choices, since she herself loves doing it for her family and friends, and keep them chasing their dreams. And this is where she learned about Dubois. Dubois is where Janeesha went to school and Maui wanted to get there too so that she could learn in person.

She never thought that she would get accepted to a school over seas but she wanted to try anyway. So she did. And so she got accepted with a good amount of scholarship money for being an international student, having good grades, and being a sports trainer. Now at Dubois, she's eager to expand her horizons and learn from all of the people around her and hopefully make new friends.

Her brother's initials tattooed over her heart.

Psych Eval:​

With everything that she's been through, Imani has one hell of a temper on her. It doesn't take much for the girl to go off on someone or even start a fight with others. It's easy to say that she is very hostile and feisty. People may think that it's because she has a giant thick metal pole up her ass, but that's not it. They may think it's because she thinks that people owe her something but it really isn't like that either. It's because she sees no good in the world. Absolutely none. She thinks that when others look at her, they see just a piece of ass they can pay $75 and slip right on in. But she's more than that. She's worth more than what she charges people. It's just hard for her to see it.

Imani likes to say whatever she is thinking, whether it be good or bad. She never stops to think if what she says may hurt the other person. She just speaks. She means well, but no one has ever taught her what to not say and what is appropriate to say.

When she isn't "on the job" Imani doesn't fuck with people who are flirting with her or hitting on her. Unless they're cute then bring it on. Besides that, if she gets cat called, she'll flip the guy off and tell him to stick it up his ass. This may confuse her customers, but it's how she works and sometimes it just comes off as feisty. Around her customers, she becomes whatever they ask her to become. It's her job.

Imani sees no love anywhere and hates what she's had to become to survive. She utterly hates herself and what she does but it's the only thing she knows and the only way to provide for her family. Plus, working for Master P, you have to bring home a steady profit or you're done. Imani refuses to allow Master P to even speak to her brothers so she keeps doing what she does for them. Imani doesn't trust others easily and keeps everything bottled up inside, refusing to talk to anyone about her feelings. She tends to come off as rude and a smart ass because she doesn't want people to get too close to her. Of course, she wants to fall in love one day, but she won't let it happen that easily. It takes a special kind of person to put up with Imani but once you gain her trust, you have a loyal friend till the end who will always be there for you. Imani is one of the most loyal people around. You say you don't like a bitch? She won't either. You need someone to fight for you? She's been in her fair share of fights. She'll fight for you. All she asks in return is the same type of loyalty. Betray her and you are dead to her. D-E-A-D. She'll ignore that you were even brought into the world. She'll pretend she never knew you, and most importantly she'll spill shit about you to anyone who'll listen. It's not easy for her to let people in too much so when you get into her inner circle, just know that she thinks of you as family now and family is the most important thing in the world to her. After all, that's all she has left.

​

Now she's much calmer but don't make her mad or get on her bad side. Old Imani is buried down deep in new Imani and "new" Imani is much nicer.

History:​

Imani Lashay East is the second child born toChanel Marie East Imani was born on August the third in the back of a van. Who's van was it? No one knows who owns the van truly, but they call it the "The Mother Van" because that's where children were born and where they delivered most of the drugs they sold. You see, Imani isn't like other girls. Not even in the slightest. She likes to think she is, but deep down, she knows she isn't. It's not even her fault for being so different. She was just born to the wrong parents, born in the wrong time, and born at the wrong time.

Her mother moved to Brooklyn back to get a "fresh" start. Chanel ran away from home and decided to run off to New York to pursue a new life as a singer and Broadway star. Brooklyn had another idea for her though. When she arrived to the big city, she was easily swept up and lost in the crowd of people. No one told her what the real world was going to do with her. The only experience she had with real life was the cross country trip she took with her best friends to see her aunt in Washington. Even then, her best friend's older brother went with them so she didn't have much to worry about. Chanel did all that she could to get a job and it was working, it really was. That is, until she fell in love with a man commonly known around her neighborhood as "Master P". Master P was the talk of the neighborhood. Good looking, smooth talker, and the way he looked at her. It sent tingles up her spine. So many women wanted him and when she caught his eyes, she didn't want to let go. Master P treated Chanel like a queen and often with so many gifts and such respect.

This went on for many months which turned to a year. Chanel was so infatuated by Master P that he was the only thing she cared about. She quite her job and moved in with him a few floors above her own. On the day of their one year anniversary, everything went wrong. It was just supposed to be Master P and herself. That night, one of his friends showed up which confused Chanel but she went with it because he said it would be ok. Soon, one man after another came in and you can guess how it all ended. Her mother was so shocked that she just went numb. She still loved Master P though, so she stayed. Over the years, her body and mind were used to the treatment. She also knew the business he was running. She didn't know it when she moved in, but he owned from the third floor to the top where he lived on the sixth floor. Women came and went all the time and you could tell by the way they dressed what profession they were in. Sure her brain would tell her that this wasn't right and she wasn't in love and that everything was wrong but it was too late because she had devoted her entire being to Master P. She'd ask him about the other girls he would bring home but he would tell her it was none of her damn business and that she didn't need to ask so many damn questions to the person who provides for her.

Chanel gave birth to Titan André East. Titan is the eldest of the East children and since she is not sure who the father is, all of the children have their mother's last name. Master P was still in the picture and was the closest thing to a father figure that Titan had. Master P took Titan under his wing and took him out to the streets at a young age. He showed the boy how the streets worked and how to get into a gang and ensure that his family was safe because a real man always made sure that his family was safe.

With the birth of Titan, Chanel went back to work under Master P as a prostitute along with the other women he had. Master P always made sure that Chanel came home with her fair share of money to keep the building up since he ran it all for the girls he pimped out. You see, Master P liked having control and power in the palm of his hands and he liked knowing that no one could take it away from him.

Fast forward to when Imani was born. Master P realized at a young age that guys would line up for blocks to get with this girl. Imani thought of Master P as her father and he took a special interest in her when she was four years old. He asked if she would do anything for him and she nodded enthusiastically. That's when Imani died and her Hell began. At the age of four, her father traded her for drugs since he didn't have the money to pay for the drugs. Instead of the happy childhood full of laughter and love, Imani grew up in a nightmare. As she grew older and realized that her mother didn't even know her name and only cared about the bastard that called himself her "father" and she felt like she was nothing, Imani spiraled into the world of drugs. It pained Titan to see his little sister being treated like this and he did his best to provide for her and be there for her. He did all that he could to protect Imani from Master P. All he had was Imani and all that Imani had was Titan. He was more of her father figure than Master P was. With Titan's involvement with the Ghost Town Crips, Imani had easy access to Heroine and other drugs but Titan quickly cut her access to Heroine.

At 13, Imani was like all the other females that lived under Master P and it was sickening to her but it was the only way to live and survive here. Some ask why she just didn't get out/won't get out, but it's not that easy. Master P knows people and how to find people. He hasn't been a pimp for over twenty years and not learned a thing or two.

With the birth of her three younger brothers (Deshawn, Anthony andRonan) and no one taking care of them, Imani took it upon herself to raise the boys. Imani refuses to let her mother touch the boys and see them because she doesn't want the boys exposed to someone who will only pretend to care for them. Imani is like their mother and has taken care of them since they were born. Titan moved to the only room available on their floor which was right across from Master P and his mom's apartment and Imani and the boys went with him. Titan helped until he was arrested for manslaughter during a break in and is sentenced to fifteen years to life. She wants to get out of the godforsaken city and life she is in but she can't leave her brothers behind. Not even Titan. Those boys give her a reason to keep going and push through and she will not let them end up the way she or Titan are.

Since highschool, things have changed drastically. Imani is much calmer, level headed, and professional. She keeps some of her fire personality and old Imani traits, but has grown so much in the past four years. Most of this is due to the death of her younger brother Deshawn and Titan now living with her to keep her in check.

She chose her major because she wants to work with special victims like herself, so upon graduation she is pursuing her masters and doctorate degrees so she can prove to herself and others that your past doesn't define you. Now, she's motivated and on a mission to make a better life for her family.

A dusting of freckles decorates her face and her shoulders as well as a bit on her chest. Then comes her smile. She’s got a very unique smile that’s a bit crooked. Some say it reminds them of the Grinch and she can only agree. She’s got some scars too from past injuries from metal cleats being jabbed into her leg to little scars from sliding against bare crushed rocks.

Thoughts
"Keep pushing yourself and do your best. That's all anyone can ask you for."

Psych Eval ​

Milo’s a very down to Earth girl and she’s very simple. She enjoys the simple things in life and would rather not fool with anything too fancy. Milo is one to stand up for herself though, which is usually the cause of most of her problems. Her mouth can tend to get the better of her, especially when she’s defending herself or others. Milo likes to bite off more than she can chew and can be ridiculously stubborn at times. She tries not to be a pain to the fact that she’s learned the art of being smooth and telling people what they want to hear before she decides to do her own thing.

Despite these things, Milo can be a very understanding and caring girl. She’s humble about her abilities and often kind to those she meets unless she feels a bad “vibe” coming from them. Then she’ll most likely try to avoid them. She’s really a sweet and caring person, but she plays off that she isn’t because she doesn’t want to seem weak and fragile. She wants to prove that she can handle her own by herself, so she likes to be independent and do things herself instead of asking for help. When she has to ask, she feels embarrassed and refuses to repeat her request if she asks for help.

So in short, Milo’s personality is pretty normal really. She’s just really stubborn and independent is all and has a mouth when she gets worked up.

Background ​

Milo was born in Puerto Rico while her parents were there visiting her mother’s family. The family returned to America two months later and everything was good. Milo’s upbringing was pretty normal really. They lived in a two story house in the suburbs and her parents worked 9-5 jobs, her mom was an insurance sales woman and her dad was a dog trainer. They weren’t rich, but they were comfortable and that’s what mattered.

At a young age, Milo was put into sports because of all of her energy and she needed something to do while her parents worked. First it was soccer, too many broken bones. Then it was basketball, too much aggression. Next was tennis, the ball was entirely too small and jumping around like an idiot wasn’t her thing. And then it was swimming, dance, gymnastics and so on and so forth. Then came softball. Softball was something that had everything Milo loved. So, she stuck with the sport and quickly began to get really into it. She was put in special training, received hitting lessons, and soon enough pitching lessons as well.

Everything was going so good. Her childhood was normal, she was happy, and then it all came crumbling down. Her parents started arguing more and more about money and their living situations. Her father was spending more time with the dogs than with his family, her mom needed someone to take care of Milo since her work hours were extended and she often missed pickup times and her games. As it stood, everything was slowly beginning to fall apart but they would act like it wasn’t in front of Milo.

This continued until it all just fell apart. Her dad found her mom cheating on him in the spare bedroom with one of her coworkers. Right then and there he packed up his and Milo’s things and they left. It was a rough start for them to pick their lives up after that. It was a struggle but it was ok. Sure Milo had questions but her father reassured her the reason they left. But Milo still saw her mother. Her parents might have gotten a divorce, but Milo alternated weekends between the two and lived mainly with her father.

After the divorce, her father’s dog training business slowly grew into an all animal training business. He started at the bottom with commercials and has since recently had his animals in tv shows and has even made an appearance on late night shows. When this happened, they were already living in New York and Milo was already being scouted by colleges. When she found out about St. Visto Private Academy, she instantly fell in love. Not only because of how beautiful the school was and that it was by the sea, but because of the sports teams and the academic opportunities they could provide her. I mean, she could study abroad her junior year if she wanted and it was in highschool. What other highschool does that? Not even the one the president’s daughters go to. Probably.

In order to go to St. Visto though, she was on a scholarship and a student loan. Yes, her father was climbing the ladder in his business, but they weren’t rich. Not by a long shot. The school gave her a scholarship for her grades and softball and a loan to help her to attend the school. Her father pays as much as he can now, but he wants Milo to chase and live her dreams so whatever the cost may be for her to go to her dream school, he’s ready to sacrifice for it. Usually Milo is left at home alone though since her father flies in and out from California. He has a tiny apartment there that he stays at while Milo stays at their small “zoo” as she calls it in New York.

So, Milo is not rich by any means necessary. She still shops at Dollar Tree and eats Ramen with her rabbit. St. Visto isn’t the most ideal place when it comes to the students that inhabit it, but she doesn’t want that to be the reason she doesn’t attend. She might be poor by their standards, but that doesn’t matter to her. Plus, no one really knew about her loan and scholarship because it’s one of those hush hush things.

That was during highschool and she graduated St. Visto with honors. The colleges that were interested in her now offered her more money but in the end it was DuBois that won the athlete's favor. Milo packed up and moved to Georgia, her father perminately moving to California and increasing his business with the animals. Her freshman year she let the rush of college overwhelm her and it almost cost her her scholarships and her softball career. This scared Milo and she began to train harder and focus more on her academics and improving her techniques.

Fast forward to her junior year and she's been getting letters from professional softball teams across the country. She was so excited and pumped to possibly play the sport she loved for a living that she pushes herself for faster running times, faster arm speed, and better hitting. Of course she can't be the fastest ever, but damn it she didn't try. Right now, she was a prospect of USSA Pride, Scrap Yard Dawgs, and Chicago Bandits. As long as she can make it through try outs and her senior year, everything would be fine.

Diamond is very confident in herself and her looks and has learned to embrace and love herself and her body even though she's been ridiculed in the past for these things. Her home life was normal and her entire family is supportive, but as of recently she's been acting weird. She's became more conservative about what she wears, she dropped out of her sorority, and she seems to be a bit paranoid (especially around guys). No one can seem to get her to say what's wrong with her though.....​

Psych Eval
So, Stevie has multiple personality disorder/dissociative identity disorder. He has five other personalities.​

1. Sissy- version of his older sister that he saw die before his eyes. She is very sassy, very wild, and very open. She has no boundaries but is a bit of a bitch. She’s 22.
2. Reggie- young boy who loves adventures, ice cream, and his toys. He’s ten.
3. Alexander- the fuckboy. he loves wearing his shirts partially undone, biting his lip, flirting with girls, and is really fashionable.
4. Selena- she’s only 5 and is very shy. she doesn’t like strangers but does love playing with barbies and can only communicate with them.
5. Gordon- he’s the one that protects and won’t let anyone run over him. He’s quiet and often glares and scowers at people. He’s the one who can take the rude comments and physical damage.

It all depends on who he is that day, and usually his make up tells who he is. Dark eyes and dark lip is Sissy, Reggie wears no make up, Alexander fills his brows and has freckles, Selena wears clear lip gloss and sometimes wears light colored lip gloss, Gordon does make up but usually something light. Stevie himself is loud and not afraid to wear his make up proudly and be his fun loving, people self. He's very personable and loves meeting new people and making friends. He acts on emotion 51% more than reason and tends to get into trouble about it.

Background
Father was an alcoholic and beat his mom and sisters. That's when he started developing the other personalities. He accidentally killed his father, but his mother took the blame for it. Raised by his very religious aunt and uncle. When he began to show signs of femininity, his uncle began to pray with him and they went to ask for forgiveness every time he would act out or get caught with his sister's toys etc. He pretended to be straight even though he knew he wasn't.

He showed interest in art and make up, practicing on his sisters. When he was 14 he saw his big sister die in front of him while they were in the front yard, scarring him. He develops more personalities as he grows older and it's when he reaches highschool that he comes out and does make up on himself. Of course he is made fun of but he decides to keep being his true self.

His aunt and uncle throw him out and he's passed on to his cousin who is the only one who will take him in because he understands him. He transitioned and is now a woman and agrees to help send Stevie to college.​

Character's thoughts about themselves
“These years are gonna be stressful, but I didn’t make it this far to give up.”

Psych Eval
Malik was raised by both the streets and his parents. It shows in how he carries himself and acts around others. Malik is a quiet young man but is no way timid. He prefers actions over words. He usually speak when he has something important to say or has been spoken to, even then it's not guaranteed that'll he talk to the person talking to him. Malik carries himself in a almost casual way. But if someone looks close enough they'll notice that his body is not relaxed at all, like someone waiting for a surprise attack. It's a side effect on growing up in a violent neighborhood.

He is seen as intimidating by others. He towers of most people and his eyes are goal black, they seem to stare right through you. His face has a scowl on it, it's just his regular face in all actuality. Malik has a temper on him. His fuse isn't ridiculously short like some but there are a few things that set him off. If he feels like someone is patronizing or belittling him then he'll develop an attitude that'll turn into a mean mug or physical confrontation. It'll happen if he feels like he's being challenged or disrespected.

Malik is observant, something that he learned from the streets. He pays attention to detail. It has saved his life many times in the past. He still addresses his elders using ma'am or sir, it'll be followed by a string of curse words sometimes. His manners are also intact he to the surprise of others. Malik likes to hold deep conversations. When he hung out with his they would talk about life in the ghetto and how poverty affected certain people.

Once someone was gained Malik's loyalty he's there for them until the end. He protective of those that he holds close and is willing to do almost anything for them. Because of his life it's difficult for him to open up. When he does one would be surprised at the individual that lays inside. He's not just another statistic. Malik, cactus like exterior, is still a person. Beneath his dark eyes and scowl is a man with a genuine love for fashion and designing. For years he hid his interest but eventually he decided to be open with his interest.

For as long as he could remember Malik has made it his goal to hide a certain part of himself. He aware of how most of his community felt about people being anything other than straight. For a long time he grew up thinking that something was wrong with him and sometimes he still does. Once he managed to get into college Malik didn’t hide it but he didn’t broadcast it to everyone either.

In depth background
Malik grew up in a crime invested neighborhood. Gang violence was a major problem along with robbery and shoot outs. He lived with his mother and grandmother, his father was a deadbeat who didn't want the responsibility that came with creating a child. His mother's worked three jobs in order to provide for him and his grandmother worked one. It was hard for them. They were poor and barely could afford food on the table. It was easy for Malik to fall into the street life. As a child he believed that it was cool. He'd see young men with nice things and pretty girls on their arms. Unbeknownst to him at the time in order to achieve this they would have had to dirty their hands.

The gang life had ensnared a large amount of young men, including Malik. They treated eachother like family. Something that the young man loved. It wasn't long until he found out about the dangers of gang life. Malik figured out that in order to have nice things he would have to start selling drugs. The temptation became to great. With the money he would be able to take care of his family.

In the beginning things were looking up for him. He had money and a new sense of power that flowed through him. He met guys like him who quickly became brother to him. Everything spiraled out of control one night when he was hanging out with his friends. One moment everyone had been chilling and enjoying a good laugh and the next gunshots were fired. The incident ended in the death of two of his friends and had almost ended with his own death. Malik was shaken by the event as it was his first time seeing some thing like that. When he mother and grandmother found out they had been furious but worried. They urged Malik to quick and focus on school.

Malik pulled away after that but not completely, he would still do a little dealing on the side to get by. He took school more seriously after that and managed to graduate as the second in his class.

Character's thoughts about themselves-
"If it gets too quiet, I'll fall asleep. Trust me."

Psych Eval -
So, he's got an anger issue. It stems from his father tearing him apart when he was younger both mentally and physically. He's been working on it and taking his meds so he's fine to be around, just don't push him too much.
Since becoming a single dad, he's become alot calmer and since taking care of his mom he's more understanding and doesn't jump to conclusions as quickly.

He can seem rather boring or out of it, but that's because of his lack of sleep. Don't take it personally.

In depth background-
Wip because I gotta think more about it. Let me be.

  Character's thoughts about themselves (and on coming in as a freshmen for the freshmen)
  "I.Am.The.Shit. No one needs to tell me how great I am, considering I know it. Bit of a wild card, yes, I'll admit to that but I'm fun. I don't know, maybe I should do better about keeping it under control but I'm trying to live like there's no tomorrow. I don't want to look back in 20 years and regret not having all the fun I could have had, you know?"
  
  Psych Eval - a paragraph or so describing the character's personality (not their likes and dislikes ..but how they respond to situations, their general temperament etc.)
  Krista is indeed a total wild card. You never really know what she's going to do until she does it. Has she tried to control her impulsive behavior? Of course she has but it hasn't worked. So instead she just forgets about it and does whatever-- and often whoever-- she wants to do. She can be very selective about the people she keeps around her, usually deciding if she likes you or not by having one conversation with you. Majority of the time she might even tell you if she'll keep talking to you or not, making her come off as a bitch. Really she just doesn't have a filter and will often say the first thing that pops into her head. Very few people love that about her, love that she doesn't sugar coat anything. She believes it's a waste of time that no one should ever do.
  Despite it all, she's a chill person and most who have gotten in find her to be very loving and caring. While some of her friends don't hold grudges, she does and will hold them for them. The love she feels for her friends is unmatched and she dares anyone to hurt them. She'll go to jail over her friends; she has before.
  
  In depth background (3 Paragraph Minimum)
  Amelia Cartwright had a great life for about 15 years. For 15 years, she went to a great school, had a great life, a great set of friends, everything. Her family had set meal times and talked about everything. Well, not everything but ya know. Family stuff. Until she didn't. Her life was shattered when her parents died in an accidental police raid of their home. The police were investigating the next door neighbors for something illegal and a rookie ran into the wrong home, to which more followed thinking that it was the right house. The only reason why they found out was because their two dead 'suspects' weren't at all their suspects. For months on end she was interviewed and her name was everywhere, until the next big news report happened and she was temporarily forgot about.
  
  Amelia wasn't a troubled youth, but she was. She was an orphan who often hung with the wrong crowd. It wasn't really her fault, though, considering the home she was in grouped her up with them. They were all older kids who were basically hippies and convinced her to do reckless things and do drugs. They said it would help her soothe the pain of her parents and help her move on. Considering she was looking for a way to forget and move on, she jumped on it the first chance she got. These people became her little family for the next few years until one by one they all started to leave and move on. She was only alone for a few months, but it was the loneliest months of her life. Amelia needed to constantly have people around her-- which may be the reason she's always sleeping
  around-- so she wouldn't feel so alone.
  
  When she turned 18 and got accept into Uni, she officially had her name changed to Krista Valentine in an attempt to move on from her horrid past. She still holds on to her juvenile ways, but they are a lot more tame than what they used to be. A few years later and she would meet Symone, who she gladly took under her wing and would guide her through the the wonderful world of college and become something like a big sister. Pray for the poor soul to ever screw with Symone.

Character's thoughts about themselves-
"I'm just trying to make it in America, mannn. I've already made it in Korea, but coming back home to make it big here would be the icing on the cake. While I'm here I might find people who treat me differently. It gets old being treated like a 'famous' person. Shit ain't all it's cracked up to be."

Psych Eval -
Jay's a really chill guy. He loves to goof off and doesn't really take life too seriously. He loves to break out into random song and show off his dance moves. He's got a level head on his shoulders but pushes himself until he can't push any harder. That's one of his fatal flaws.

When it comes to learning and doing the best that he can, he will give his entire being before giving up. He can be found practicing routines endlessly and even getting frustrated at himself. He's very hard on himself and has high expectations and goals for himself.

He can be a bit down when he talks about himself but hey, at least he isn't prideful and cocky.

In depth background-
Jay was actually born in the US and English just so happens to be his first language. But when he was just a young kid, around age three, his parents moved back to Korea. Once there, Jay was enrolled into school and had a pretty normal life. His parents worked long hours and Jay often found himself alone. That is until he discovered music. He began to carry around an old Walkman he found which quickly turned into his most prized possession.

Soon after, Jay began to get in trouble for his singing outburst. He'd become too wrapped up in a song and bust out in to a melody and then realize where he was and got in trouble. His parents weren't sure what to do with their son until they heard about getting their child trained in the music industry. As soon as they could, they sent Jay off.

Fast forward a few years to his teen years and Jay was in the Korean public eye releasing songs. He began to rise to fame with his music and dancing skills and before he knew it, Jay Park was almost a household name. Jay loved the spot light but wanted to go back to the States and knew if he could make it there then he really could make it anywhere. So, he packed up and moved to the US but took a gap year before finding a college no one would expect of him and enrolling. He's learning the ropes of how the industry works in America all the while trying to find that "American Dream".

Hair Color: Jet black

Body Type: Slim/toned
Faceclaim: Shohei Ohtani

Thoughts on himself:
"ChoCho as they call me in my squad. Here to take over the world and destroy all humans."

Pysch Eval:
A lack of respect can easily describe the young man. He doesn't understand personal space, he doesn't understand privacy, and so on. He tends to feel entitled to all things, but too lazy to do for himself. He's notorious for taking food without permission, but being stingy with his own. The only thing he seems to take serious, respect, or put any effort in is baseball.

Background:
ChoCho actually has a weird history. One that you'd thought was made up for a book, movie, story, or fantasy roleplay. Yet as fantastical as it may seem, it is his life. ChoCho was born in Tokyo, or was it Oshu? You couldn't tell by his birth certificate because he has two. As it goes, Matsuda Chojiro was born in Tokyo and Ohtani Shohei was born in Oshu. The truth is he was born in Tokyo to a Prostitute mother and a high ranking Yakuza member. He didn't spend long there because his mother was murdered for snitching to the police about something she probably shouldn't have. His father sent him to a family in Oshu that provided them with refuge and a cover-up business for some of their legal activities. Oshu was more so a village than a city, and 'Shohei' as he had become named, would grow up helping out on the farm.

As he grew older he would be requested by his father back in Tokyo for short stints. In these times, ChoCho would run errands for the Yakuza including to not limited to delivering money, drugs, disposing of bodies, and anything else they could think of. As he continued to do these things, he also became extremely good at baseball, being one of the only players to primarily be a pitcher, but hit extremely well much like the old babe ruth. This would earn him a contract offer at 18 to play for Hokkaido Nipponham Fighters, in which he took under the name of Shohei Ohtani. A few years in the league and Shohei excelled until one day....Shohei was gone. The team didn't know what happened to him, and could not figure it out, so they assumed he drowned in one of his deep sea fishing trips. Oddly enough, Chojiro Matsuda joined the Dubois baseball team a few months later.

Chojiro earned him a starting spot on the team quickly, picking apart any competition he had with ease. He bought a house and spent a year there before opening it up to other Asians who went to Dubois. As a 23-year-old sophomore.he has lit the scene up in the baseball world and has gotten attention from MLB scouts again. They just can't help but to notice that he looks eerily similar to Shohei Ohtani, everything from looks to mechanics. No matter, will Dubois win a college world series under his leadership? Or will his secrets come out?

  "A little geeky, a little freaky."
  
  Psych Eval - a paragraph or so describing the character's personality (not their likes and dislikes ..but how they respond to situations, their general temperament etc.)
  Jordan is a mystery to some. His cool demeanor brings people in, making them want to get to know him instantly. However, he doesn't open up to just anyone. He has to have known you for a while before letting you know something personal about himself, not really trusting people. But the things he does let everyone see is that he is a huge nerd and a lover of words. Sometimes he'll even recite works of literature just for the hell of it, or even lines from his favorite movies, tv shows, and anime. Jordan has a big heart and cares for people unconditionally, even if he doesn't know who they are. He will always try to make people feel comfortable and check on them when he notices something off. He's very passionate and because he cares about people, he will never do something to try and hurt them. It'll take a lot to piss him off, as he never really gets upset since he's one of those people who aren't really bothered. Even though he's this great guy, he's one of the most stubborn people ever. It can get annoying and make you not want to be around him sometimes, but eventually he will give in.
  
  In depth background (3 Paragraph Minimum)
  Jordan was born into a family of doctors up in Seattle, Washington. His father owned his own private practice, where eventually his older brother and sister would work along side their mother. Jordan's mother was a pre-natal surgeon, his father a psychiatrist, his brother a plastic surgeon, and his sister was a cardio-surgeon. Of course, they all thought Jordan was going to follow in their foot-steps and join the medical career and for a while he was going to.
  
  Growing up, he watched his family's surgeries on video tape and they would quiz him, trying to make him into the best surgeon ever. They didn't really notice that he was more into the journals, more into reading than he was watching the surgeries. It wasn't the medical topic that they held that interested him at all, but the way the words were written. Words had always been a love of his and when he learned what he could do with it, that started his obsession.
  
  He would grow up living a double life, wanting to be a writer but doing medical studies to please his family. Secretly he wrote online and shared his stories with the world and when they started giving him positive feedback, it fed his desire to continue. When he left for college, he went on taking pre-med classes, trying to convince himself that becoming a doctor was going to give him a better career than becoming a writer. He soon learned that he could be a double major so he chose writing and pre-med, but never told his parents. Now, he's struggling to keep up with both and to keep the secret away from his parents.

"She's a bit out there. A gentle soul who comes out like a raging river, because she wasn't taught how to guide her energy. Though this uncontrollable energy helps her in her creativity and passion, its catches everything in the crossfire and sets it ablaze. The only time she seems to pinpoint energy is during her dance routines. She has no social filter, not understanding many social cues or how to word things so they come off better. Her borderline schizophrenia often showcases itself when she's dancing, as she gets lost in an alternative reality, which comes out in her eccentric styles and video liberties. "

Background :

Ariel was born in Yorkshire, England to two very music inclined parents. Her father was a popular dancehall DJ and dancer, while her mother was a renown classically trained ballet dancer. Their differences made them an unlilely match, and actally showed up often when the two didn't even try to have a lasting relationship. Ariel ended up with her mother, and would travel with her and her troupe for a few years. Being stuck in the dressing room with no one to interact with would be much of her life. In order to keep herself company, she would come up with imaginary friends to dance and sing with her, having to use them so much to keep her from going insane, that they became real to her.

It wasn't until middle school age, that she was sent off to a boarding school for performing arts, in Birmingham, where she began to normalize on the outside. She was always blunt, even if it was an eloquent way, which often rubbed people the wrong way. She was 'stuck up' or 'you think you're better than us because your mom is a famous dancer' though some of the other girls related so she naturally gravitated to that group. She would grow to a standout dancer over the years, but also a decent vocalist and actress. When she wasn't practicing ballet or other forms of dance (which was practically her entire free time) she was helping the theatre students or film.

At age 14, a little girl by the name of Mahalia entered the school. She didn't stay on campus like most of the other kids, no, but she somehow afforded to attend school here. No one knew how, and they would tease her for her mother's job and the clothes she wore, but Ariel took her under her wing for the next 4 years. The two would become close despite the age gap, but when it was time for her to move on, there was no fanfare or anything...she barely said a goodbye to the girl.

She was on her way to audition for her mother's troupe, and though she killed it, her mother was dissatisfied. As the director of the troupe she got the final say, and denied her daughte'rs entry, citing that she wasn't classically trained well enough and she should go to school. So she did, she earned a scholarship based on her prestige and audition into The Julliard School of Performing Arts, where she would spend the next three and half years, getting her Bachelor's in Fine Arts. Upon receiving her degree she returned to London to join her mouther's troupe. This time she made it, and after only a few months became one of the highest billed dancers in the troupe. With her newfound respect, she came to her mother about some new age hip-hop fusion routines, when her mother dislike it the idea because 'tradition' the two had it out and eventually she left the troupe at age 21.

For a year or so, she started doing her own shows and dance videos where she started to gain a lot of fans and popularity in the UK. She was getting so much money but turns out a year later, that her accountant and manager had been stealing all of her money. She saved up for the next year from smaller shows since she got blackballed, and moved to the states to pursue her MBA so she can run her own business in regards to her dance. She chose DuBois after getting invited to join the Atlanta Ballet Company and getting a scholarship offer to cover it. So she took it because it was the Best Business School to offer her.

So for the last year, she has been a dancer in the Atlanta Ballet Company and working on her MBA and should be finished by the end of summer.​

Thoughts on herself:
"I'm pretty sure I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing.."

Psych Eval:
"Aj is a bit much. She's not really sure what she is? In a both literal and figurative sense. She has been having an identity crisis since her birth. She sometimes comes off as a super ratchet girl who has no respect for anyone. Sometimes she comes off as this really calm, intellectual who shows nothing but respect for everyone. The one constant is that she's a black feminist, who does a lot of work in the community to help the kids. "

Background :

Anja was born in Germany to loving parents. Her father was German, and her mother was half American Aborigine and half black. Since her birth she struggled with encompassing all of who she was. She moved to the states when she was young, obtaining dual citizenship. WIP​
