      Reid's pericing blue eyes are almost as captivating as his personality. His fearlessness usually seems more reckless as he always acts before he thinks.

Lemon Pierce.
Personality.

Lemon is like bubblegum, sweet, fun, and just the right amount pep, or so she thinks. Lemon loves her friends dearly and believes that you have to put what you want out for the world to hear for anything to get better. The negative views of life can be turned around if one tries hard enough and doesn't stay stuck in their mind with their thoughts. Sure, it could be seen as naive, but Lemon knows the difference between a hard life and a hard moment though she would choose to never dwell on anything negative. Instead Lemon would rather suppress those emotions and act as if they never existed in the first place. The love Lemon tries to give sometimes comes out the wrong way and sometimes she forgets that her words don’t always help. She doesn’t always realize the way she says things which in turn can do more harm then good. She can be snappy with people and can shut down when she doesn’t want to talk. Her sweet nature can turn sour depending on the person and what they have done to incur her wrath. The fierce loyalty she has for her friends can cloud her judgement just as much as her belief that everyone has good in them, and of course she would rather avoid violence at all costs. For her violence never solves a problem, but the way she tries to solve a problem can cause her to disagree with others, and instead will cause an argument she never wanted in the first place. She does her best but she’s still human and those flaws will always exist.​
Background

Lemon was born in Alabama to Ambrose and Blanche Pierce, the two most loving parents a girl could ever ask for. Her struggles in Alabama were few and far between, as she had moved from the small town near Dothan, and overall was raised by two very Baptist parents.
When Lemon turned six her father got a new job in Anchor Bay and the whole family moved leaving their small Alabama life behind. During that moment of learning that she was moving Lemon was heartbroken she cried about the move, but in the end they all moved, and Lemon began a new life. It was in Anchor Bay that Lemon met some of her best friends like Max. As Lemon aged, she tried to hide her accent or any remnants of it, though her parents never lost theirs which of course it made it that much more difficult for her.

Every summer they would go back to their hometown to see her grandparents and the rest of the family which was something Lemon never looked forward to. Her and her cousin Orlando would always fight, and he would pick on her and drag her to be a lookout for his shenanigans. She hated it, but after last year Lemon didn’t plan to go back ever. Lemon and Orlando had gotten into a huge fight, one where the family decided it would be best if Lemon didn’t come back. Her parents and the rest of the family had never seen a fight like what they had but it left Lemon shaken to her core and she had pushed down any thought of the argument. Afterall, her cousin made anything they argued about her fault and this time she almost felt like it was. For the first time Lemon had to plan a different summer where she went to church (if she left the house), had her brunch, but it was just with her her parents and it somehow left a sour taste in her mouth for memories she had from all those years ago and a bitter feeling towards the town she had once thought of as home.​

Carson Hughes.
Personality.

Carson is…a force to be reckoned with, she has lived at least enough life to have figured herself out more than when she was a teen. She doesn’t let anyone bring her down and she will always fight for those who don’t believe in themselves enough. Her heart is as big as they come but she would never let that hinder her ability to do what is best for a group. She knows that the world is anything but good and if anyone was given the chance, they’d screw her over. Her trust is one of the hardest things to gain and her walls are as high as they are strong. To break them down takes time, patience, and a little pixie dust. For her being realistic is the best way to go rather than being optimistic or pessimistic because in the end what happens in life happens whether good or bad, but there’s no sugar-coating life.​
Background.

Carson has lived a life from moving all around her entire life to finally settling away from her family. Her life started out like any young kids, two loving and doting parents who wanted nothing than the world for her and then as she grew they wanted less and less to do with her. One was always constantly job hunting while the other followed wherever, meaning that Carson was always toted from town to town, or state to state. To say she had a stable childhood home would be a lie and of course she hated it with every fiber of her being. She wanted friends that she could spend more than a few months with or at the most a year.

This moving around continued on through middle school and most of high school until finally her family settled for what seemed like the foreseeable future. Things were going great Carson had been making friends and got to keep them for more than a year and then of course the job hopping started back up and she couldn’t take it anymore. She finished out high school, got her diploma, and packed her bags. She took a bus to Anchor Bay knowing nothing about it and landing herself a job as a barista. She rented a room from a nice old lady named Mildred, who seemed to be well liked around town. Carson started working more hours and started taking classes at the local community college and is hoping that she will figure herself out, but so far Anchor Bay has been the best thing to happen to her for her entire life.​

    · name
    Levi Morgan

    · age
    18

    · gender/pronouns
    Male; he/him

    · sexuality
    Homosexual (closeted)

    · grade
    12th/Senior

    · body mods/scars
    A tiny tattoo on his ankle of a violet flower.

    · clothing style
    His wardrobe

    Personality:

    + open-minded
    Although he can be a bit ignorant, Levi is always willing to learn.

    + outgoing
    Levi is the type of person who wants to be friends with absolutely everyone - he can't stand the idea of someone disliking him.

    + level-headed
    He's something of a peacekeeper among his friends. He never starts a fight and it takes a lot to get him riled up.

    + curious
    He's not afraid to ask a question, even if it makes him look like an idiot. If he wants to know something, you can bet that he'll ask.

    + loyal
    He's basically a Golden Retriever. Get on his good side and he would follow you to the ends of the Earth.

    - unintelligent
    In all honesty, Levi is not very smart at all; at least not 'book smart'. He's failing almost all of his classes, and it takes him a while to wrap his head around things.

    - disorganized
    He's a bit of a mess and he is prone to making messes without thinking to clean them up.

    - ignorant
    He's prone to saying the wrong thing, sometimes things that are offensive. He never means it, but he's just not very educated about most things.

    - rowdy
    As someone who hangs around large groups of footballers a lot, Levi is a bit too used to parties and having to yell to be heard. Sometimes, he can be a bit much.

    - stubborn
    Even though he's willing to learn, if he believes something strongly enough, he will not budge on it. Same goes for decision making; nothing you can say will make him change his mind.

    · hobbies
    The obvious one is football, but Levi also enjoys pretty much any other sport, considering his natural athletic ability. Other than that, just hanging out with his friends in any capacity is his main hobby - he's very much someone who likes to be around people at all times. He is also slowly learning to teach himself how to play piano; he doesn't totally get it, but he likes it enough to stick with it, although this is kind of a secret because he knows his friends would never stop making fun of him for it.

    · habits
    Often uses 'um's and 'uh's, probably way too much; he just needs the time to think about what he wants to say. Any object you hand to him, he will also toss up and down, no matter how valuable it might be. Not so much a habit, but he has a very expressive face - it's easy to tell when he wants to say something or when he's confused.

    Background:

    Levi is the only child, born to Violet and Jason Morgan, his mother being a fairly influential politician in Manhattan and his father being a lawyer. Growing up, Levi never knew anything but wealth and getting pretty much anything he ever wanted or needed. He never really understood his parents' politics, but his mother was a wonderful woman - someone who genuinely cared about the world and its people, and someone who wanted to make a change when change was called for. So, Levi could only assume that she was on the right side of whatever battle she seemed to always be fighting.

    As he got older, Violet seemed to simultaneously become less involved with politics. She spent more days laying in bed or sleeping on the couch, and as a child, Levi always assumed that she was just working herself too hard. His father seemed constantly stressed, though, and often snapped at Levi for the smallest incidents. But he'd always apologize afterward, so Levi still never thought much of it. When he was twelve years old, his mother suddenly retired early and they moved from the bustling city of Manhattan to the quiet town of Anchor Bay.

    Levi picked up life in Anchor Bay pretty easily - he was always good at making friends, and he thought the prospect of being somewhere new was very exciting. But his mother seemed to get weaker and weaker, and the older Levi got, the more he started to worry. Eventually, when he was fifteen, he confronted his father about it and asked him what was going on with Violet. His mother was dying of cancer; they'd moved to Anchor Bay because she knew she didn't want to spend her last years in Manhattan. Levi was devastated. Young and naive, he tried to believe that Violet would be okay. Things would work out in the end.

    Violet died when Levi was sixteen. She had been in hospital for a couple months, and it wasn't a shock, but Levi was understandable heartbroken, as was Jason. The two drifted apart, and Levi joined the football team in an attempt to distract himself from his feelings. As it turned out, he had a real talent for football, and that his father noticed. Now, football is Levi and his father's only connection, so Levi feels that he could never give it up, even if he feels a little uncomfortable knowing what the rest of the team would think about his sexuality. Still, football is his ticket out of the town where his mother died in, and his ticket to somewhere where he can be 100% genuinely himself.

Tatum Browne
Age: 19

Personality

Tatum is all about living in the moment, she takes bullshit from no one and has the mouth of a sailor. Her heart is always in the right place even if she doesn’t quite execute everything properly or even know how to at times. Her reactions are always act first and then ask questions after the fallout rather than being rational. She loves to flirt and have fun with just about anyone who will let her. She keeps her emotions locked down and tries not to show them around others because she has always felt like it is a sign of weakness. However, if she truly trusts someone than she is more likely to be open and vulnerable with them. Her trust is hard to gain and even harder to restore once broken, even if she believes in second chances. Her friends and her family are a big part in her life and she hates disappointing anyone that she really cares about, and will lie to protect feelings if she has to.

History

Tatum lived a pretty typical life, she grew up in Anchor Bay for the entirety of her life living a cushy life, but Tatum hated everything about it. Though she loved her family she also began to resent her father as soon as she started to feel as if she could never live up to the expectations, he had laid for her. Her life was something that wouldn’t make it seem like she would be unhappy or even rebel when she was given anything and everything, she wanted but it wasn’t enough. As Tatum continued to resent everything, she began to act out more and that of course began to cause problems at school. She started to ignore what her teachers said, she started to experiment here and there with drugs and eventually got busted at school when they did a search. It wasn’t a shining moment and it didn’t stop there. Sure, maybe if her father had done better and acknowledged her accomplishments, she would have gone down a different path. She began to pull away from her friends and continued to abuse any substance she could.

Eventually abusing the substances led her to the lowest part of her life, and when her parents were scared into helping, she was sent away to rehab. Rehab though a good thing for her she feels embarrassed about her actions in the past. She has acquired better coping skills, better eating habits, better habits overall and is back in Anchor Bay to continue getting healthier. She is currently attending the local community college after having to drop every course the prior year and is hoping to do well and make something with her life.

Tucker 'Tuck' Vance
18
Defiance is defined as "open resistance or bold disobedience." Once upon a time, the idea would have made Tuck scoff and wave his hand, but Tuck's recent endeavors in Europe opened his eyes to a whole new world of possibilities. Tucker left town a sheltered workaholic with a knack for academic success. When he returned, his short, tamed hair had been replaced by a mane of indignant refusal of the status quo. Tuck went ahead and dropped all the monotonous routines he had so carefully constructed. Study sessions have been replaced by skateboard practice. Biology books with bongs. Grammar; girls. Most of all, the only tutor Tuck bothers to listen to now comes in the form of dried flower and little mushrooms. Tuck is done wasting his time pursing something is mind numbing as physics or history. The idea of wasting another moment with his nose in a book, makes him squirm. The bookworm this town knew died in Amsterdam, and a pillar of defiant freedom took his place.

[SPOILER="History
From the day Tucker could walk his parents have been cramming information into his head like knowledge was food and they were in the middle of a famine. Tuck didn’t have chores, he had assigned readings. Mountains of books stacked around him like a cage and his parents’ watchful eye gazing over him like a warden might. From the beginning, pressure was high and Tucker’s shoulders had to be strong to bare the weight of it all. Tucker did well though. The constant threat of his parent’s disapproval forged him into a good student, a boy who excelled in everything from spelling bee’s to math tournaments, Tucker was a gold star student winning gold trophies in academic competitions across the state. By the time Tucker had reached high school, he was nationally ranked. Debate kids trembled when they saw his name on their roster and teachers practically swooned to see him on their roll. But that would change dramatically. One little trip would break the binds wrapped around Tucker’s neck. A taste of freedom would quickly develop into an outright addiction.

Anyone that might tell you “Vegas is the devil’s playground” has never been to Amsterdam. Luckily, naïve little Tucker didn’t know that. Not until he had already boarded his plane to spend his Junior year in Europe.

Amsterdam was intended to be an educational experience. Something that would land Tucker in some high paying government job some-day. It was an eye-opening excursion, but not in the way that his parent’s had hoped. Sure, he learned culture and business, but that wasn’t in his classes. That was in the hallways, high-school age kids just selling weed to each other, just to then all meet up in the evenings to share it all anyways. One thing led to another, and Tuck found him sell stumbling on the precipice of this little world until eventually, he just dove in. From that point, Tuck was firmly addicted. Not to drugs, but to life. By the time the semester had ended and Tucker drifted back home, he was done living his life through the lenses of history and biographies.

· name
Sebastian Osario

· age
22

· gender/pronouns
Male; he/him

· sexuality
Homosexual

· body mods/scars
N/A


Personality:

+ friendly
Seb is the kind of person who is friendly to pretty much everybody.

+ kind
Seb is a very kind person, and is always looking out for the best interests of his friends.

+ empathetic
Sebastian tries to understand and empathise with what other people are going through if they choose to confide in him.

+ quiet
Seb's quiet nature makes him a good listener and he's often the person that people vent to.

- anger-management
It takes a lot to really, properly upset him, but if someone manages to, then Sebastian becomes a completely different person. He sees red and becomes violent. He hates this part of himself and tries extremely hard to hide it.

- depressed
When he does have a depressive episode, Seb is just really exhausted. He doesn't leave his house, or his bed really, and doesn't talk to anyone on the phone or even in person much. He can get in a really self-hating headspace.

- secretive
He rarely talks about how he feels or tells anybody about what he is suffering with.

- uneducated
Seb is very uneducated about mental health, and is convinced that he doesn't need to see anybody about his issues and that they aren't bad enough to see a doctor about.


· hobbies
Sebastian's main, and really only hobby is music. He writes and plays songs but rarely performs publicly or lets anybody else hear his music.

· habits
Smiles at someone if he makes eye contact with them for too long, has very expressive eyebrows, talks fairly quietly.

Background:

(TW - mentions of death in an accident and depression/suicide)

Sebastian was born to a two loving parents, and he has an older sister. His family was middle-class, and he lived an average, white-picket-fence life until he was 12. His mother was in a car accident, and although they were able to put her in a medically induced coma for a couple of days, it was clear that she was not getting better, and they had to pull the plug. It was only him, his father, and Seb's older sister. His older sister left to study abroad when she was 21 and Seb was 15, unable to stay in the place that reminded her of her mother. Seb himself got worse every day, finding himself enjoying his hobbies less and less than he used to. He used to love sport - particularly running, but even that felt like a chore now.

His sister leaving only worsened Seb's condition. His father became protective and tried to encourage Seb to do the things he used to enjoy, but Seb couldn't find any energy for it. He started having dangerous thoughts, and he found himself starting to really dislike himself, seemingly for no reason. He refused to understand why he was alive when his mother was dead. When Seb was 16, his father bought him a piano, desperate to get Seb to feel better and find something to enjoy. Surprisingly, Seb found that he actually really loved the piano. His father was all too happy to pay for lessons and Seb learned incredibly quickly.

Seb's school life also worsened with his mental health. He withdrew from his friends and became extremely quiet, and his grades went down as well. Recently, an argument with a classmate became physical - Seb starting the fight - and Seb became extremely violent. He had to be pulled off of the other kid, who was in a terrible condition, and was promptly expelled, starting and being in the worst fight that the school had seen. When his father tried to see what could have caused this reaction in Seb, Seb couldn't really explain, so they never really properly talked about it. He and his father moved to Anchor Bay, where Sebastian spent the rest of his highschool career until he graduated.

He still suffers from depression and has often contemplated suicide, but he hasn't been diagnosed and neither he nor his father have really realised the extent of his issues. In all honesty, Seb knows nothing about depression and just thinks he's crazy and messed up. However, he uses music to try and get rid of some of those thoughts and that energy, and he's taking everything one day at a time.

    Oliver's Not Quite Normal.


    Jared and Eileen were an odd couple, so to speak.
    Jared Dreyfuss was a new community college graduate, struggling to find work in the turbulence of northeastern Massachusetts. Eileen was… confident. Put together. A promising secretary at a local business. Jared counted himself lucky when she met him at an art show and they got along right away. From there it was off to dinners, community theatre, evening walks by the ocean. It was no surprise that two years later they were happily married and settled in a quiet apartment in the small Boston-area city of Lynn. And for six years, they and their two new daughters were enjoying a modest but practical life. Money was tight between the four of them, but everything seemed to work out in the end. The two daughters were healthy and bright, now two and four years old. A strained, but overall happy and content little family.

    Then, one late summer night, came the third child: their first and only son. Right from the start, he was welcomed to the world with fear and repulsion. Still exhausted and delirious in the hospital after the birth, his mother sobbed and refused to take him in her arms, saying over and over “no, that’s not mine. That’s not my baby. Something is wrong. Look at it, it’s sick.” Eileen had never had such a traumatic postpartum experience. Even after she recovered, took her child home, and resumed her normal activities, she continued to feel as though there was something not quite right about her newest child.

    And time seemed to prove her right: it quickly became apparent that Oliver wasn’t developing typically. He struggled to gain motor skills, failed to react and respond to social stimuli by copying eye contact and specific gesturing, and didn’t start talking until he was nearly four years old. He had poor balance and an unusual, impractical walking stride. Normal everyday situations seemed to agonize him, often without a clear trigger. It took a long while for both parents to be convinced to have Oliver evaluated, in no small part due to the fact that Eileen was sure her son was just the product of her personal nightmares.

    She loathed the autism diagnosis with every fiber of her being. In her eyes, she simply couldn't have a disabled son; that was impossible. She had a stupid son, a difficult son, a son who acted up and hid and bit himself and didn't know how to behave in social situations. Subconsciously at first, she started shunning him. Focusing her attention more on work and on her daughters, who had issues of their own but were much easier to deal with. She began drinking heavily to cope with the stress of being in constant anger and denial, which led her to start lashing out more and more on her son and her husband, who, for the most part, stayed quiet and simply kept on trying to hold the family together until he couldn't take it anymore. He left for work one day and never returned.

    The Un-Favorite.


    With her husband gone, Oliver's mother began to rapidly spiral. Step by step, she started taking out her anger on Oliver much more harshly. Neglect and belittlement became brutal verbal attacks and physical harassment, destroying his belongings, trapping him in the house. Oliver himself didn't realize how much it had escalated. The shift was so gradual that by the time he was being routinely denied food for days on end, he was fairly convinced this was how it had always been. Or at the very least, he'd been disincentivized to take it seriously. That... left him at a considerable risk of letting things slip.

    But Eileen was nothing if not good at manicuring her public image. Within her first year in Anchor Bay, she’d painted herself as a struggling single mother whose husband abandoned her with their disabled son and three daughters. Likewise, she used the same brush on Oliver to make him seem irrational, aggressive, and unaware of consequences. This way, anything he might admit to the public would be handwaved aside as an irrational emotional outburst rather than a serious red flag. In a small town where reputation is everything, this worked like a charm.

    Through all of this had always found a sort of safety in school. He was actually surprisingly skilled with his classwork, showcasing an excellent memory and a passion for science, math, and literature. He quickly became recognized as a talented and attentive student, which of course started attracting the ire of his fellow classmates, who already didn't like him very much due to his eccentricities. The bullying got pretty bad at times, but being away from home for a few hours a day was such an immense privilege to him that Oliver seemed to mostly take it in stride.

    Turtle Boy: The Story So Far.


    High school came as a blessing of sorts to Oliver. For the first time in his life, he began to crawl out of his shell so to speak.
    He went from being a solitary feral child to having a tight group of loyal and protective friends he'd found along the way between his classes and wandering the town of Anchor Bay. Though he had an atypical style of communicating that separated him from his peers for most of his childhood, coupled with his abusive family that further kept him in isolation, Oliver had gained a longing for connection with others. He shared his passion for turtles with his new companions, as well as his strange insights and his powerful curiosity for the world around him. For all his quirks, he had a charm to him and it drew people in in a way that he had never anticipated.

    And yet still, through this time of him coming into his own, he lived under constant threat from his mother. He had to keep his social life and various social media accounts a secret, knowing that if she knew he was becoming known in the town that he'd be silenced and shut away from the world to protect his family's image. That taught him to become skilled in hiding things and slipping through the cracks, and it desensitized him to the idea of committing crimes to make his life a bit easier. Little by little, he began stealing the food and school supplies that his mother often refused to provide him with, carrying small weapons around, teaching himself to pick locks, and spending most of his time loitering outside the home to avoid punishments. And though he had his friends to protect him to some extent, this newfound delinquent behavior quickly began to escalate.

    Would someone know to step in before it's too late for Oliver's future?

Name: Oliver Sasaki (fc: Oliver Moy
Age: 18
Pronouns: He/Him
Sexuality: Hetero

Backstory:
Oliver was like the black sheep in the family. His parents? He only saw at special events when he would have to show his face. The only person he could say he loves was his great grandfather. He was like the father he never had. Unfortunately before his senior year in high school he had passed away. Oliver knew that the only reason his family cared was because of the will since the great grandfather was rich from his wedding services company.

At the hearing there was even family he had never seen before, but he didn't care about any of them. The only thing he cared about was his "Dad" not being there with him anymore.

Everyone, including himself was surprised that Oliver was left everything. The estate his "Dad" had, a spot in the company when he was at least 21, his money.. everything. Some people would think it would be a blessing, but it was a curse to him in the moment. Now all the family members he hated and didn't know were being nice to him. His parents felt entitled to everything since they birthed him and that he was being ungrateful when Oliver said no to everyone's request.

So now he was alone. Completely alone and the only thing that kept him company was him going to school. Even if he is standoffish it would be the only social outing that could be a good thing. His family still tries to reach out all the time,but he just ignores them and goes about his day..trying to better himself like he promised his "Dad".
