				<div align="center"><span style="font-family: impact;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 16pt;" class="bbc_size">The Possible Characters</span></span></div><br><div style="text-align: justify;">So I guess all that's left is what sort of characters am I looking for.&nbsp; Well I'm looking for upwards of six characters, maybe more if we get enough interest.&nbsp; It's up to you what kind of character you want to play, but I am looking predominately for hockey players of course.&nbsp; Other characters, like cheerleaders, nerds, stoners, and even teachers are welcome also.&nbsp; Below are list's of possible ideas for your character positions, but other than the Hockey positions, the others aren't mandatory.</div><br><div align="center"><span style="font-family: impact;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 16pt;" class="bbc_size">D-H-S Senior or Jr. Boys Hockey Positions</span></span></div><br><div align="center"><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Goalie:</strong>(Taken) Perhaps the toughest position in all of sports, the goalie is the one player who can control a team’s confidence. His job is to keep the puck out of the net, and if he’s good, he can take his team a long way. Good goalies win championships.</li><li><strong>Defensemen:</strong>(Both slots taken) A team at full strength has two — one on the left side and another on the right. Nowadays, there are three primary kinds of defensemen. One is creative and offensive-minded; he likes to handle the puck and lead the team up ice, but is not too physical. Another is defensive-minded, a stay-at-home bruiser who plays a physical game and doesn’t often venture out of his zone with the puck. And there are those rare athletes who are a combination of the two.</li><li><strong>Right wing:</strong>(Taken) He works the right side of the ice for the most part. He needs to be a physical player who is good along the boards and in the corner. He is responsible for the opposition’s left defenseman in the defensive zone.</li><li><strong>Left wing:</strong> Traditionally a left-handed shot, but the NHL is seeing more right-handers playing this position now, a practice picked up from the Europeans. A right-hander has a better angle to shoot from when he’s coming in on his wing. Like the right wing, he needs to be able to dig out the puck from the corners and battle in front of the net.</li><li><strong>Center:</strong>(Taken) He quarterbacks his club at both ends of the ice. Must be good at face-offs and passing, and it doesn’t hurt if he's a good shot as well. Coaches want a lot of creativity in this position — and a lot of hockey smarts.</li></ul><br>Position descriptions taken from: HERE (http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/ice-hockey-positions-explained.html#ixzz1S9qKLnQc)<br></div><br><div align="center"><span style="font-family: impact;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 16pt;" class="bbc_size">D-H-S Senior or Jr. Varsity Cheerleaders</span></span></div><br><div align="center"><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Captain:</strong> Leader of the Squad.</li><li><strong>Co-Captain:</strong>(Taken) Co-leader of the Squad</li><li><strong>Cheerleaders:</strong> Cheerleaders can be anything from Tumbers, Flyers, and/or bases on a squad.</li></ul></div><br><div align="center"><span style="font-family: impact;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 16pt;" class="bbc_size">D-H-S Radio</span></span></div><br><div align="center"><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>DJ:</strong>(Taken) Goes on-air to broadcast news and play music</li><li><strong>Workers:</strong> Miscellaneous positions.</li></ul></div><br><div align="center"><span style="font-family: impact;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 16pt;" class="bbc_size">D-H-S Clubs</span></span></div><br><div align="center"><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Dunbarton Athletic Association (DAA):</strong> Meets every Tuesday at lunch in room 304.&nbsp;

Brown<br><strong>Build:</strong>&nbsp; A bit on the small side, in both height and build, especially for a hockey player, let alone for a goalie.&nbsp; He is clearly in shape, but is not as toned or muscular as most of the other jocks.&nbsp; His skin is relatively pale, as hockey is the only sport he plays, and even that wasn't until fairly recently.<br><strong>Height:</strong> 5'2"<br><strong>Weight:</strong> 115lbs<br><strong>Markings:</strong> None<br><strong>Distinguishing Features:</strong> Thick eyebrows<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Music, Video Games, Computers, Hilariously bad B-Movies.<br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Excessive/Unearned Arrogance, Spending too much money, Being interrupted when trying to do something.<br><strong>Fear(s):</strong> His future, and heavy darkness to a small degree.<br><strong>Personality:</strong>&nbsp; Those that do not know him would see him as a bit of a shut in, and difficult to approach, but that's because when he is with a group of friends or anything, he is very easy to miss, and if he is on his own, he's generally not in a good mood.&nbsp; Those that do know him know that he can be very friendly and a great friend.&nbsp; Though is he generally pretty quiet, he is always willing to listen and try and help with others problems.&nbsp; However, if he does get in a bad mood, he is not somebody that you want to be around, which is why he is generally found alone when this happens, as he has a tendency to snap out at anyone that tries to help him when in one of his moods.&nbsp; He also gets very focused when working one of his various projects or when trying to accomplish something.<br><br><strong>Mother:</strong>&nbsp; Jennifer Cobbins<br><strong>Father:</strong>&nbsp; Michael Cobbins<br><strong>Sibling(s):</strong> None<br><strong>Residence:</strong>&nbsp; A fairly standard one floor, three bedroom house with a basement in a residential neighborhood, likely in the same neighborhood as a few of his classmates.<br><strong>History:</strong>&nbsp; Growing up, Jason was never part of the really popular crowd.&nbsp; He wasn't an outcast, as he did have his own small group of friends, but they were only a few steps above the nerds that got picked on all the time.&nbsp; It wasn't because they were geeks, or losers or had some kind of deformity, they just weren't all that into sports.&nbsp; Rather than go the the local rink, or field and play games, they preferred to stay inside and play video games with each other.&nbsp; It didn't help his status any that he was into music and was in the school band since he was first able to join it.&nbsp; He was fine with where he was, he didn't need to be more popular, he had his own group of friends that he enjoyed hanging out with, but that group slowly began to shrink as they hit high school, and some of them did grow to be more popular, and eventually left them behind.<br><br>Afraid that he would eventually be thrown in with the bottom tier, and become an even larger target for abuse from the bullies, he finally branched out and made a few more friends with kids that played sports, but not very competitively.&nbsp; The summer after freshman year, they convinced him to come with them to the park, where there was a street hockey rink to play around for a day.&nbsp; He reluctantly obliged, and was stuck in goal, because nobody else wanted to wear the pads in that heat.&nbsp; That was the day his life would start to change.&nbsp; He was a bit sloppy, as he had never played before, but he was damn good.&nbsp; All summer long they would do their best to get him to go and play with them, and he only got better each time, until they finally convinced him to try out for the hockey team when school started again.&nbsp; <br><br>He very easily made it onto the schools JV team, as only Juniors and Seniors are allowed on the Varsity team, and he was still simply not practiced enough to play Varsity anyway.&nbsp; In only a few weeks, before the season even started, he was moved up to the starting goalie spot on the JV team.&nbsp; None of the coaches could believe that this kid had never even touch the pads until just a few months prior.&nbsp; They even went so far as to go out and hire a new goalie coach almost exclusively for him, so that he could get the work in that he needed to truly become one of the best the school had seen.&nbsp; Their plan for his Junior year was to keep him on the JV team to get some extra work in before moving him to the Varsity squad, but now an injury to the normal starting goalie might force them to put him into the spotlight earlier than expected.<br><br><strong>Played by:</strong> TastyBacon<br><hr><hr><br><div align="center"><span style="font-family: impact;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 16pt;" class="bbc_size">Theodor Sawyer</span></span></div><br><strong>Nicknames:</strong> Theo, "DJ T-Wolf", "Timber"<br><strong>Date of Birth:</strong> September 8th<br><strong>Age:</strong> 17<br><strong>Grade</strong> 12<br><strong>Sexual Orientation:</strong> Straight<br><strong>Extra-curricular Activity:</strong> Defender for DHS Boys Hockey Team, DJ for DHS Radio, Bassist for Mister Of The Affect<br><strong>Job:</strong> Works part time at his father's gunstore/firing range<br><br><strong>Eyes:</strong> Blue<br><strong>Hair:</strong> Black, kept short<br><strong>Build:</strong> Lith, yet well developed musculature hidden under his clothes. While he may not look it, his body holds great power and speed that translates into terrifying movements on the ice. His right arm is slightly longer than his left.<br><strong>Height:</strong> 5'9"<br><strong>Weight:</strong> 158 lbs<br><strong>Markings:</strong> A small scar next to his left eye that has faded into near non-existence and a long scar on his right shoulder from surgery as a child. He has a tattoo of a stylized wolf head on his left shoulder that he got when he joined the hockey team.<br><strong>Distinguishing Features:</strong> Wears a pair of black rimmed glasses off the ice and is rarely seen without his blue wristband on his left wrist and his Celtic cross around his neck.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Music, books, hockey, cool days, red heads, the Boston Bruins and Red Sox, going to his father's firing range, Soccer (in the spring)<br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Hunting, being called a nerd (he much prefers the term geek), being coerced into doing something against his will, being called a "punk rocker"<br><strong>Fear(s):</strong> That he'll be stuck in Pickering permanently, fire<br><strong>Personality:</strong> Theo is a gentle soul and very soft spoken off the ice, but on, he is a force to be reckoned with. Fierce as an uncaged beast on offence and like an animal backed into a corner on defense. When he has a chance to talk about something other than hockey, he usually discusses his particular tastes in music or his band, which can sometimes be to the annoyance of his teammates. Theo will often go out of his way to help others, even if it is at cost to himself. While he might be gentle most of the time, he does however know full well how to defend himself and can be quite opinionated should the need arise. He is very protective of his team and his school, which shows through in his role on the team and the fact that he plays every school dance for no charge.<br><br><strong>Mother:</strong> Annabeth Sawyer<br><strong>Father:</strong> Dean Sawyer<br><strong>Sibling(s):</strong> Felicia Sawyer (Oldest), Chase Sawyer (Middle)<br><strong>Residence:</strong> Sawyer Residence in Pickering<br><strong>History:</strong>&nbsp; Theo's life has been one of hard work and obligation. Early in his life, he had an obligation to his family to carry on the Sawyer name in the town's Youth Hockey league, where he earned a reputation as a highly skilled goalie like his father and brother before him. There was little time to care about anything else in his household besides hockey and the family business, and Theodore was taught to have great care for both. However, his mother always took the time to show the young boy new music and teach him various instruments, which developed into his absolute love of music. He eventually discovered his favoritism of the bass guitar, which garnered him a bit of jealousy amongst the boys at his school.<br><br>As he entered middle school, Theo realized that he wanted to do something different from his father and brother, and began stepping away from the shadow cast by his family name. Leaving the youth hockey league was quite the shock to his father, but Theo considered it to be the best decision of his young life. It gave him the chance to explore new options and eventually grow into his own man. Years later however, he was drawn back to the path his father laid out for him when his father grew sick and was diagnosed with cancer, causing Theo to take up a part time role in the family business to pick up the slack.<br><br>In Theo's junior year of high school, the school's hockey coach approached him about a position on the team, and while he did agree, it was under a condition that came as a shock to most people that knew his past. Theo joined the DHS Boys Hockey team as a defender, and played in the only way he knew how, with precision and speed rather than brute force. He earned a reputation as the "Timber Wolf" for being absolutely brutal to anyone who dared harm his teammates. Now in his senior year, he tends to offer his advice and assistance to the younger players that will be replacing him in the next year, as well as tries to keep up to date on his other activities outside of hockey and school.<br><br><strong>Played by:</strong> 1SAZ<br><hr><hr><br><div align="center"><span style="font-family: impact;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 16pt;" class="bbc_size">Kevin Avery</span></span></div><div class="floatright">(http://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110525/10/4ddd37e73f741.jpg) (http://www.modelmayhem.com/2199042#)</div><strong>Nicknames:</strong> "Kev" "Vin" and "Avery"<br><strong>Date of Birth:</strong> January 13th<br><strong>Age:</strong> 17<br><strong>Grade</strong> 12th (senior)<br><strong>Sexual Orientation:</strong> Gay<br><strong>Extra-curricular Activity:</strong> Right Wing for the D-H-S Boys Hockey Team, Plays on the D-H-S Swim Team(From late Oct-mid-March), and he's a member of both the French Society (DFS), and S.T.O.P.<br><strong>Job:</strong> None<br><br><strong>Eyes:</strong> Dark Blue<br><strong>Hair:</strong> Dirty Blond<br><strong>Build:</strong> Slim, and surprisingly not stocky compared to his older brothers.&nbsp; He has a swimmers body, with tight compact muscles, that you wouldn't notice unless he wore something tight, or nothing at all.&nbsp; He's light skinned, with a subtle tan, and is prone to being hairy, but he shaves it off for swimming.&nbsp; In the off season, he enjoys not shaving, but the hair that grows on his chest, legs, and under arms are generally a lot darker than the hair on the top of his head.<br><strong>Height:</strong> 5 ft 9 in (1.74 meters)<br><strong>Weight:</strong> 185 lb (84 kg)<br><strong>Markings:</strong> None<br><strong>Distinguishing Features:</strong> He has Dimples when he smiles.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Swimming, Hockey (the Detroit Red Wings), B&amp;W movies, Not having homework to do, and sleeping in.<br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Having to wake up early in the morning, large amounts of homework, oral reports, and Raisins.<br><strong>Fear(s):</strong> Spiders and heights<br><strong>Personality:</strong> Although Kev is a jock by nature, he doesn't really stand for bullying of any kind.&nbsp; He just never saw the value in trying to hurt those who are younger or weaker than himself.&nbsp; But when it comes to a fair fight, he's more than willing to jump in and defend himself.&nbsp; But his fights usually end quickly, and without getting caught, and when it's over, it's over in his mind.&nbsp; He does honestly believe that a lot of problems between men can be solved with a little fight here and there, and when they're over, he generally let's it go, without holding a grudge.&nbsp; <br><br>He's the runt of his family, shorter and not as stocky as his other brothers, even Cal, who's much more muscular than he is himself.&nbsp; But he's also the most disciplined when it comes to working out, and he actually likes running, and lifting weights in the morning, something that really contradicts his somewhat lazy attitude.&nbsp; Most would probably call him stupid, but his mother has always said that he's just lazy, and in reality she's correct.&nbsp; He could get better grades, but he doesn't study as much as he should, "forgets" to do homework, and can't even comprehend the idea of pulling all nighter's for a big test.&nbsp; He skirts by, and he knows it, barely making the minimum GPA to stay on the teams he's on.&nbsp; <br><br>His friends would call him a nice guy, and that's probably because he's not the type to really get worked up, unless he has to, or something is really bugging him.&nbsp; The guys he's gone out with in the past would probably describe him as a bad boyfriend, since his lazy behavior does extend to his social life.&nbsp; He doesn't like to go out too much, and would rather stay at home most nights.&nbsp; He's also deeply rooted in the closet, although his family does know about him.&nbsp; It's not that he's necessarily afraid of letting people know about him, but he'd rather not go through the hassle that it would bring.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>Mother:</strong> Marlene <br><strong>Father:</strong> Al Avery<br><strong>Sibling(s):</strong> Sean(Oldest), Scott(2nd oldest), and his twin brother Calvin(character is open for someone to take.)<br><strong>Residence:</strong> His family lives in a good sized house that's not too close to other residences.&nbsp; You have to drive down a small dirt road for a bit before reaching it.&nbsp; There's a small lake next to the house, and it has a large porch that wraps around first the ground floor, and than the second floor, where outside stairs lead up to his room.<br><strong>History:</strong>&nbsp; Unlike his older brothers, Kev didn't have to move around a lot, and he was born and raised in Pickering, where he enjoyed the benefit of having friends who've known him from grade school.&nbsp; Before he was born was a different matter altogether, and his family moved around a lot, before settling in his hometown.&nbsp; His oldest brother had already made a name for himself as a "loose cannon," and a "nuclear power generator ready to explode like Chernobyl," when it came to Hockey, and Kev grew up with his brothers fame already a well established fact.&nbsp; But to a young Kevin, that was the coolest thing in the world, even if his brothers exploits sometimes embarrassed him to death, and he threatened to not talk to him a million times before getting over it.&nbsp; <br><br>His second oldest brother Scott, was around much more than Sean was, and proved to be the sort of brother who would always be there to talk if he needed it.&nbsp; But Scott was already much older than Kevin, so the age gap proved to be a tiny hindrance in any deep brother-to-brother talks that might have happened otherwise.&nbsp; It was Calvin, Kevins twin brother that was his real confident, they did everything together, up until they hit middle school.&nbsp; It was than that they sort of went their own ways, although they were still very much close, closer than regular siblings would have been in any case.&nbsp; It was also Calvin, who Kevin first came out to.&nbsp; Although Calvin didn't share his appreciation of the male form, he was still there to talk it over with him, and help him come to terms with that aspect of himself.&nbsp; <br><br>He did finally come out to the rest of his family, the year before he started high school, and they all took it much better than he thought they would.&nbsp; It was a huge surprise when his oldest brother, Sean, proved to be his greatest supporter, but it was a welcome one.&nbsp; He chose not to come out to anyone else, deciding that he'd do it when he was ready, but that day hasn't come just yet.&nbsp; That being said, he has had his fair share of boyfriends, but most didn't last too long, the longest relationship, so far, lasting a little over a year.<br><br>But despite "staying in the closet," he wasn't a miserable kid, and got into sports to work off the energy that seemed to thrum in his veins.&nbsp; And coming from a family that was very sports oriented, it wasn't a huge surprise when he joined hockey in middle school, and the swim team when he joined high school.&nbsp; To be honest, he's a better swimmer, than he is a hockey player, and he isn't as talented as his older brothers on the ice, but he's not terrible, and he has fun, which is all that matters to him.&nbsp; He wasn't the biggest academic growing up, and that never really changed in his teen years.&nbsp; Some would call him slow, when compared to his twin and Scott, but he isn't stupid, and he tries his best, even if his best is a C average, with a few B's mixed in if he's lucky.&nbsp;

He has a typically engaging personality and is a very likeable person.&nbsp; That aside, he is pretty secretive.&nbsp; He has a lot going on in his life and doesn't think that he should broadcast it to everyone.&nbsp;

Cole's father was a former minor league baseball layer, he was born in Seattle, Washington and aspired to play for the Mariners.&nbsp; He made it all the way up to AAA but never could make the jump to the Bigs.&nbsp; He met Cole's mother during the summer when they were both in Florida, she was from the Pickering area.&nbsp; They carried on a relationship long distance, but then when John realized he probably wasn't going to make it to the show, he retired from professional baseball and married Linda.&nbsp; The two settled in Linda's home town where she was already an elementary school teacher.&nbsp; John got a job working for the Toronto Blue Jays and they decided to start a family.&nbsp; <br><br>Rather than have child they decided to adopt one, a young girl from China. That process fell through and they ended up adopting a baby girl from the Czech Republic, Cole's sister, Alicia.&nbsp; After raising Alicia, they decided they wanted to have a child of their own, and that's where Cole comes in.<br><br>His family was pretty well off already and so another mouth to feed wasn't a big deal.&nbsp; He was born without any complications and brought home.&nbsp; John was elated to have a son, he loved Alicia but.... he really wanted a son.&nbsp; John taught Cole to throw a baseball before he could walk.&nbsp; He was playing pee-wee baseball at the age of 6.&nbsp; But living in Canada, Baseball isn't really.... 'the' sport.&nbsp; Cole also found himself drawn towards hockey as his friends played Timbits.&nbsp; His parents obligingly signed him up to play the very next year.&nbsp; And that's how it went, hockey in the winter baseball in the summer, until&nbsp; he reached high school.<br><br>That's when Cole needed to make a decision, either continue into AAA hockey or play Elite Baseball.&nbsp; Cole finally centered on Elite Baseball, it made his father's day and probably his life.&nbsp; After dropping his Rep hockey, however, Cole missed it, the contact the fast passed game so he looked into other ways to play.&nbsp; House league just wasn't good enough for him, and he was still scared to try out for the Varsity team, so he joined a men's league for his grade 10 [Sophomore] year, and played through the winter and once in he was in his grade 11 [Junior] year he tried out for the Dunbarton squad.<br><br>All the while, Cole was making honor roll every year and receiving awards fro his academic achievements.&nbsp; He was drawn into the Debate team by his grade 9 [Freshman] English teacher who was in charge of the team.&nbsp; Cole went out to a meeting and absolutely loved it.&nbsp; It was so quick and hard hitting, like hockey but all mental, you had to play defense with your points all the while probing your opponent and then attack their argument.&nbsp; Unfortunately the Debate team wasn't as 'cool' as the Hockey team and he didn't want to get lumped in with the other debate kids, who were somewhat.... nerdy.&nbsp; So he hid it, from everyone.<br><br>Once he made the Hockey team it was almost impossible to attend meetings, but Cole made it to as many as he could, telling his hockey buddies he had baseball training, and telling his baseball teammates he had hockey practise.&nbsp; It was a system of deceit that worked pretty well for him, he got to do everything that he wanted.&nbsp; But he did have to juggle a bit.<br><br><strong>Played by:</strong>&nbsp; North of 60°

Despite all of that she's a bit insecure though, always afraid that people aren't going to like her. And as pretty as she is she's never had a boyfriend (or a girlfriend) probably because of her insecurity. She also has unacknowledged abandonment issues, seeing her mothers death (see history) as running away from her/ leaving her behind. <br><br>&nbsp;<strong>Mother:</strong> Unity Vaughn-West (deceased) / Step-Mother: Melanie Hanes-West<br>&nbsp;<strong>Father:</strong> Keifer West<br>&nbsp;<strong>Sibling(s):</strong> Kelly Hanes (would be 19 - deceased) Langford Hanes (25 - Step Brother) <br>&nbsp;<strong>Residence:</strong> A large three story home with a cottage like feel next to the lake just outside of Pickering.<br>&nbsp;<strong>History:</strong>&nbsp; Harpers life started out riddled with tragedy. Her mother was 18 when she married her father (who was 30 years her senior) she then promptly got pregnant with Harper, and after giving birth she fell into post-partum depression and ended her life by stepping in front of a train in the middle of the night when Harper was 7 months old. <br><br>Her father figuring that he would horribly damage Harper if he raised her with no womanly influence quickly went in search of a woman he saw would be a good fit for his family, a woman his own age with two children of her own. Harper never knew anyone but Melanie as her mother and Kelly and Langford as her siblings. Tragedy struck again when Harper was 13, when her step-sister Kelly was killed in a hit and run accident outside of their home. Instead of this tragedy tearing their family apart it made them stronger and more loving, and made her step-mother Melanie a bit over protective of her step-daughter. Harper has a cellphone, but is only allowed to use it to call her step-mother, father and older brother.<br><br><strong>Played by:</strong> duchess85<br><br><hr><hr><br><div align="center"><span style="font-family: impact;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 16pt;" class="bbc_size">Jade Onyango</span></span></div><br><div align="center">(http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/6530/affphot01.jpg)</div><br><strong>Nicknames:</strong> "Jay" "Oh"<br><strong>Date of Birth:</strong> 03/20/1995<br><strong>Age:</strong> 16<br><strong>Grade</strong> Junior (11th)<br><strong>Sexual Orientation:</strong> Bisexual<br><strong>Extra-curricular Activity:</strong> Cheerleader, Girl's Volleyball<br><strong>Job:</strong> Waitress at the local pizza parlor<br><br><strong>Eyes:</strong> Dark brown<br><strong>Hair:</strong> Black<br><strong>Build:</strong> Slender<br><strong>Height:</strong> 5' 10"<br><strong>Weight:</strong> 125 lbs<br><strong>Markings:</strong> A few dark spots 'moles' on her body, one just left of her right nipple<br><strong>Distinguishing Features:</strong> Very dark brown skin, and a charming smile<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Purple, Pizza, Carmel<br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Peanuts, Rudeness<br><strong>Fear(s):</strong> An -intense- fear of snakes and enclosed places<br><strong>Personality:</strong> Jade is a friendly girl. She is polite to a fault sometimes, and worried about how other people feel and if other people -like- her or not nearly to a compulsive level. She can 'play' as shy from time to time but she has an intense need for intimacy and seeks it out in other women or men near her age or older than she is. Her friendly disposition and 'shy routine' has kept her from gaining a 'reputation' except among those who talk.<br><br><strong>Mother:</strong> Nalina Oyango<br><strong>Father:</strong>&nbsp; Sgt. Jefferson Daniels<br><strong>Sibling(s):</strong> Brother, Jackson Oyango<br><strong>Residence:</strong> Her family lives in some of the cheaper apartments downtown. Not 'terrible' but hardly upper-class.<br><strong>History:</strong> She was actually born in Somalia, to a Somali mother whom had a liaison with a member of a United Nations Peacekeeping force near the boarder. Such things were common near the time she was conceived and later born. Her father wanted nothing to do with her, and she has only since met him once in her lifetime, that meeting was not very pleasant however it did lay the groundwork for her travel to North America. Unwilling to grant her mother's demand for United States Citizenship after the fathering of a child by a soldier she was granted what was termed a 'consolatory' reward. A Canadian work visa. Being fluent in both English and Swahili her mother quickly landed a job as a translator. Her stay became more permanent when her and later each of her children passed the Naturalization test. Her older, half brother whom traveled with them began attending school a full two years before Jade herself. She grew up not too far away from the high-school she and her bother now attend.<br><br>She was different than the other kids for her entire life, her deep brown skin and exotic features set her apart. Along with her initial struggle to learn English. She was teased almost ruthlessly, and it was then she decided to spite all of these kids who teased her she was going to become one of the -most- popular girls in school. And she got there. For years she simply smiled at insults, tried again and again to talk to some of the more popular girls who continually turned her away. And then... she started developing. A slender, lean figure with hints of intense femininity pert, rounded breasts, a small but rounded behind and a narrow waist along with long limbs and shapely legs turned the heads of a the boys around her and a number of the girls as well.<br><br>She did not mind using her natural beauty and shapely body to her advantage. And it helped her to quickly climb the social ladder, even landing her as a co-captain on the cheerleader squad.<br><br><strong>Played by:</strong> EbonyQueen<br>

His biceps are easily noticeable through the sleeves of his shirts while his pecs and six pack are usually hidden, except for when he's wearing something tight, which is rare. He has a light skin color with a little hint of a tan.<br><strong>Height:</strong> 5'10"<br><strong>Weight:</strong> 180 lbs<br><strong>Markings:</strong> None<br><strong>Distinguishing Features:</strong> Nothing that particularly sets him apart from someone else.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Exercising/working out, orange and red, drawing and painting, rock music, swimming, cherries, milk, cooking (even more so with baking, but all of this is only done on occasion)<br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Laziness, waiting, being stuck in the house, liars/being lied to, drugs and alcohol, druggies, really dense people, people who sleep around too much, misbehaving kids, sushi<br><strong>Fear(s):</strong> Doing something that would really let his parents down, such as coming out to them, and spiders that are bigger than his pinky.<br><strong>Personality:</strong> Brad is an introverted individual; he doesn't willingly start conversation with people he doesn't know too well, but he'll talk to said people when spoken to. Because of how he used to be a defender for the hockey team, he has plenty of "friends," but he considers a lot of them to be acquaintances more than anything else. There are a select few, though, who he does consider as true friends, and he prefers to hang out and do things with them more than anyone else. He's real talkative around them, too--or he used to be. Nowadays, he's a little withdrawn. When asked if there's anything wrong, he smiles and says everything is fine, even though his eyes tell a different story. This has always been the case with him, though. His friends either learn to leave it at that answer or try to pry for the real one, which will usually irritate him rather than get him to open up and share his true feelings.<br><br>Brad works hard at everything he does, and he won't finish a task until he's sure it's completed satisfactorily. For him, it's work first, play later, and he won't let anyone or anything get in the way of that. Mainly because of his upbringing, Brad is a mature young man, and effectively presents himself as such. The only time this demeanor loosens up and becomes more lively is when he's around his friends, although nowadays it hasn't been as lively as what it used to be. Also, Brad is usually honest, and will say what he truly thinks, even if it may end up upsetting the other person. The only time he does lie is when it comes to his personal life, but that's only if he can't somehow skirt around the questions.<br><br>Brad has very little patience, whether it be waiting on something or someone or dealing with people, and can easily be annoyed by dense or indecisive people. It's hard to get on Brad's bad side. The couple of ways to do so is to wrong him in some way, which is usually by lying to him, or becoming something that he finds repulsive. When someone does earn a spot on his bad side, it's hard for him or her to get off of it. Also, he loves to work out and exercise--so much so that, oddly enough, it has become his way to deal when he's upset or stressed. When he becomes this way, he exercises more than what he normally does, just to get away from everything else for a while. <br><br><strong>Mother:</strong> Eve<br><strong>Father:</strong> Dan<br><strong>Sibling(s):</strong> Dan Jr. (the oldest - 20 years old), Jessica (youngest - 14 years old)<br><strong>Residence:</strong> They live in a two-story home with an attached garage. A cement walkway leads from the driveway to the four steps of their veranda, where the white front door is located. Inside, the second floor has three bedrooms and one full bathroom. There is a half-bathroom on the first floor, and the basement is carpeted and furnished.<br><strong>History:</strong> No one at school knows much, if anything, about Brad's home life, except those who might have talked to either of his two siblings. His closest friends might be invited over on occasion, but even they aren't allowed in on learning of the high expectations his parents keep for all of their children. This isn't because he thinks this kind of a life is a bad thing, but because he does not want to think any more about it than what he already does, and he is already aware of the things--things he knows he would not be able to do--people would say if they heard him complain about his life at home.<br><br>Brad was born and raised in Pickering. His parents were conservative folks with a Christian background. They didn't stress their religion too much, but they made sure their kids learned and picked up the values. When they gave birth to each of their children, they already had an idea on how their lives would be; they imagined them to lead successful futures and start beautiful families of their own. Their two sons would take over their dad's Italian restaurant, Gladioli, when he would retire, and their only daughter would be a lawyer like their mom.<br><br>With these values came high expectations. When their kids were young, they put them in as many after school activities as they could. The brothers were in the boy scouts and the sister was in girl scouts. They had piano lessons for a few years, they had karate for two years, and then there were sports; Dan and Brad were tossed into hockey and Jess was in volleyball. For school, they were expected to get straight <em>A</em>'s, and a B- or lower would result in a lengthy lecture about doing well in their academics so that they could have successful futures, and a grounding if their grades were a <em>C</em> or lower. For Brad, this was all right. With each hoop his parents held up, he leaped through them to their delight. He rarely misbehaved, either, knowing what kind of punishments would await him if he did.<br><br>When his brother started entering his preteen years, things started getting a little rocky. Dan started to act out. Their parents tried to combat this and reshape him into the person he was supposed to be according to their ideals, but Dan fought equally as hard, and became more rebellious. These constant arguments between parents and son created a lot of friction in the household. And then Dan got a girl pregnant, which was during the end of his junior year. Their parents were horrified when they received the phone call from the girl's parents. They gave Dan some money and kicked him out of the house that night.<br><br>When Brad was in eighth grade, he really took an interest in drawing. He had shown some liking towards it before, but it was nowhere near as serious as it was at that time. It was a year later when he decided that being an artist was his dream job, and that that was all it would be: a dream. Brad understood that his parents would never allow it to come true, especially since the hopes of someone taking over Gladioli rested solely on him with Dan now being out of the picture. Although he still continued with this hobby, he did so with a sort of hopelessness out of knowing that he wouldn't be able to do anything with it as a job, and he didn't show too many people anything he drew, except those who might have been in any art classes he took.<br><br>It was also during his freshman year when Brad slowly came to the realization that he was gay. He denied it, and dated a girl out of a weak attempt to turn himself straight. Of course, it did not work, and some time after that girl breaking up with him, he went on to date another one, and then another one after that, which occurred at the end of his sophomore year. The last two were to provide a coverup since it would look odd for a hockey player, or any jock, for that matter, to remain single. All three relationships lasted no longer than a month or two, with all of the girls breaking up with him.<br><br>After that, he didn't bother trying anymore. He still remained in the closet because he wasn't ready to face what would come from outing himself, especially where his parents were concerned, but he decided not to date any girls during his junior year. Brad had a good excuse not to, as he was too busy for a relationship. In the previous school year, after the hockey season ended, his dad pressured him into being a waiter at Gladioli. He obediently took the job, and for his junior year, his schedule was made up of mostly AP classes. That meant more studying when he wasn't working. And then came the hockey season. Brad was stuck balancing homework, work, and hockey. That left him with very little free time, except during the weekends, some of which was spent working out. Somehow, he managed this for a while, but it began to wear him down after a couple of months, and there was no way to reduce the stress. Brad couldn't let his grades drop. He had managed to get straight <em>A</em>'s up until then, and he didn't want that to change. He couldn't quit his job without disappointing his dad--he had tried talking to his dad about quitting once, but only to have his dad tell him not to do that and that this would be a good way for him to learn how to balance things. Last, there was hockey, and he couldn't quit that, either. His parents wouldn't like him doing that and he couldn't slack off because he didn't want to disappoint his team by not playing a good game.<br><br>But it seemed something had to give, and that something ended up being hockey. It was hard not to notice that he wasn't playing as well as what he normally did. He went from being a defender who gave it their all while they were out on the ice to someone who was playing only a satisfactory game at best, but those times weren't too often, as he became prone to making a lot of mistakes. When the season ended, the coach more or less expressed his disappointment with him in private, and since he wasn't wanted back, Brad made that his final season of hockey. His parents--particularly his dad--were disappointed when they learned this. His dad held a little bitterness towards him for the next month since his son had let him down. This hurt Brad a little, especially since he had ended up letting the team down, too.<br><br>Now Brad is a senior. Like last year, his schedule has plenty of AP courses, he's still working as a waiter at Gladioli, and now he has college to worry about on top of those two things. He's not as stressed during this time of the year as he was last year, but he's still not quite the same as he was prior to that year. Life has seemed to become bleak for him, and he just goes through the motions to get through the day every day.<br><br><strong>Played by:</strong> Haru329<br><br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatright">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/a/ad/DannyDuphrane.jpeg)</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: impact;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 16pt;" class="bbc_size">Daniel Duphrane</span></span></div><br><strong>Nicknames:</strong> Dan/Dani/Danny<br><strong>Date of Birth:</strong> October 14th<br><strong>Age:</strong> 17<br><strong>Grade</strong> 12<br><strong>Sexual Orientation:</strong> Questionable<br><strong>Extra-curricular Activity:</strong> STOP, GSA, Secretly wants to join the cheerleading squad<br><strong>Job:</strong> None<br><br><strong>Eyes:</strong>Gray<br><strong>Hair:</strong>Dark Brown&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><strong>Build:</strong> Thin and wiry<br><strong>Height:</strong>5' 7"<br><strong>Weight:</strong> 120lbs.<br><strong>Markings:</strong> There a scar on his right elbow and knee.<br><strong>Distinguishing Features:</strong> Dan has very slight and androgynous features.&nbsp; His light grey eyes light up his face when he smiles, which is rare.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>Likes:</strong>Reading, writing, fashion, watching hockey<br><strong>Dislikes:</strong>Jocks, crowds of people, being the center of attention<br><strong>Fear(s):</strong>Crowds, being bullied <br><strong>Personality:</strong> <br>Danny should have been a very outgoing and friendly person.&nbsp; However, his slight features, effeminate voice and acting have always made him the target of bullies.&nbsp; As he entered his senior year, he comes across as a very shy, reserved person, but it's mostly a defence mechanism against the rejection he feels from his peers.&nbsp; He's really quite friendly and wants everyone to like him.&nbsp; Unfortunately he's also isolated himself from most of his peers, so he sometimes comes across as pushy when he does speak up for himself.&nbsp; <br><br>Since his innate nature is much more happy-go-lucky than how life has taught him to act, he never went down the punk/goth route so many of his less popular peers have followed.&nbsp; Instead, he's found ways to find solace on his own and spends a lot of his time in quiet solitary activities.&nbsp; Still he's frustrated and longs to find a way to get involved in social activities and be more at ease in a group of people.<br><br><strong>Mother:</strong>Anna Duphrane<br><strong>Father:</strong>Tom Duphrane (Deceased)<br><strong>Sibling(s):</strong> None<br><strong>Residence:</strong> He lives in a 2 bedroom apartment with his mother, who works 2 jobs.<br><strong>History:</strong><br><br>Danny lost his father at the age of 12 in a workplace accident.&nbsp; His dad had worked in a nearby factory and had been very disappointed in his 'girly' son ever since it was obvious Dan would rather play with dolls than climb trees.&nbsp; He was teased at school for as long as he can remember, but it really started turning nasty in middle school, when all the other boys stopped thinking girls had cooties.&nbsp; Of course Danny had always been more comfortable around girls and would have liked to hang out with them.&nbsp; While girls didn't beat him up, he didn't feel welcome at their lunch table either.&nbsp; One day at lunch, he got into a fight with one of the bigger kids in class after school.&nbsp; The big kid pushed him down on some broken glass next to the bus stop, and Danny ran home crying, needing stiches in right knee and elbow after the doctor spent 2 hours picking small pieces of glass out of his skin.&nbsp; It was at this time Danny realized he just didn't fit in, and that it could have painful consequences.<br><br>When he was 16 he came across an article on transgenderism on the net and he has been trying to figure out who he is ever since.&nbsp; Since his Sophmore year he's been dressing more and more androgynous, and allowed his hair to grow a bit longer, longing to express himself or maybe herself as he saw it.<br>This year in his old high school, the bullying and teasing reached a whole new level when one of the football players decided to make Danny's life a living hell.&nbsp; His becoming a favorite target may have had to do with the fact he started wearing a barrette in his medium length hair, or the day he showed up to school wearing a tunic top over his jeans.&nbsp; He tried sticking it out, but once he came home with a black-eye and assorted scrapes and bruises all over, his mom decided to transfer him to Dunbarton, senior year be damned.&nbsp; Danny's problems socializing in school have led to less than stellar grades, certainly not the kind needed to get scholarships, so transferring senior year probably wasn't the worst thing that could happen.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>Played by:</strong> Joy
