Both ears are pierced. He usually wears jeans and a band tee.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Zach's inherent desire to like people is subdued by his belief that everyone will inevitably disappoint in some way or another. When someone gains his trust, he becomes warmer. He's quick to offer them an arm for comfort or use his fists to protect them if necessary. But the question of how long they can keep that trust always lingers in his mind. When someone does make a mistake, he may understand why they did it, but ultimately, he sees the betrayal and it's difficult for him to forgive. He's stubborn like that, and because of his inability to trust easily, he shies away from romantic relationships, preferring the intimacy of a quick fuck. It's not uncommon for him to start pushing someone away because he's gained feelings for them, usually without telling that person the reason why until it's forced out of him.<br><br>His stubbornness makes him steadfast in his beliefs, never one to let his morals sway, always willing to fight tooth and nail when a moral is compromised. Zach also doesn't take criticism well. His anger and hurt may often cause him to hold a grudge for a while, but he'll ultimately get over it on his own.<br><br><strong>Bio:</strong> Zach grew up in foster homes from the age of one to eight. A loving, Pennsylvanian couple who couldn't have children of their own adopted him, making him their second child; his brother, only a few months old when they took him in, was the same age as him. Zach didn't accept his new parents right away. He acted out, but they stuck through it, and when he came to realize they were the real deal, the next best thing from having his biological parents, he accepted their last name as his, and, for the most part, settled down.<br><br>Once he accepted he was a part of a family, he accepted his brother, too. Ben was a good kid with a mild intellectual disability. Zach had a soft spot for him, and he looked after him. If other kids gave Ben trouble, he took care of them, once, in their earlier years, getting suspended for beating up a bully. Whenever he struggled with something, Zach tried to help him in any way he could. <br><br>Things became more turbulent at home during his teen years. Like a lot of teens, Zach became more critical of his parents. He had always reacted badly to mistakes his parents made, but those reactions became moodier around the time he realized he was gay, and gradually, he became snippier, more distant. Senior year, he turned the house into a battlefield. They didn't understand the yelling, the defiance, why he stayed out after curfew. It wasn't until Ben started adapting the same behaviors that he broke down and told them. They weren't that comfortable with it initially, but they came to understand.<br><br>After he graduated, Zach focused on joining a band, though without much luck. He left for Chicago when he was twenty-one, but it was another two years before he moved to Indigo Way. When he was twenty-four, he found a band he liked. They've been working on their own material with the hope of getting signed.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Rock and metal, singing, tattoos, graffiti art, bars, video games, dirt biking<br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Rap and most pop, religion, most authority<br><br><strong>Ons:</strong> Bondage, flogs, facefucking, nipple play, other ons found here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=113236.0)<br><strong>Offs:</strong> Fisting, toilet play, more than slight - moderate level of pain<br><br><strong>Additional Details:</strong> He has a guitar, but he doesn't play it much after deciding he doesn't have much talent with it.<br><br><strong>Played By:</strong> Haru329

Her l. ear and nipple are pierced and, when she's not working, usually sport a broad variety of studs or dangles; leather chokers, armlets, and Celtic knot bracelets and rings complete her collection of downtime accessories.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> To a great extent, what you get from Eiryn depends on who you are. She can be brusque, impatient, even abrasive; she has no time for people who try to pigeon hole art (hers or anyone else's) or people, people who have no real formed opinions, or folks who talk crap about things they know nothing about, or value system over content. As you can imagine, she loathes art, dance, literature and music critics with a white-hot and extremely verbal passion. More than a little compulsive, she frequently pulls all-night work sessions, leaving her sleep-deprived, crabby, and heavily dependent on the nearest coffee vendor. When an idea strikes her, she will often break off mid-sentence, or even go so far as barking pose orders to friends and acquaintances, to try to set a scene in her head.<br><br>On the up side, she's painfully honest, about herself as well as other people, and utterly reliable- if she says she'll do something, the world will have to end to keep her from fulfilling her promise. When she's awake and not focused on work, she can be a fun, almost charming conversationalist. If she becomes your friend, she's the sort you can call at 3 AM when you have a nightmare (ESPECIALLY if you have a nightmare- she'll want to work it into a painting), or want to talk about your current or ex-lover; just be prepared to do the same for her, since she's usually awake around then anyway.<br><br>Difficult, absolutely. But also potentially very rewarding.<br><br><strong>Bio:</strong> Born Erin Grimaldi, when puberty hit she was raked by sleep-destroying nightmares. A therapist suggest drawing as a way to remember and define the blurry images that kept waking her, and a career was born. Though 'forced' by her parents to take music lessons as a kid (she actually is a passable amateur violinist, enjoys music quite a bit,and drags out an old blue electric Zeta once in a while for open jams), the visual arts became her true love and calling.<br><br>While she's audited any number of classes at the Institute, Eiryn (she changed her name legally when her work started to attract notice- yeah, it's a touch hypocritical, but it's good marketing) is mostly self-taught. Her style, a blend of impressionistic techniques and macabre and frequently strangely erotic images, often drawn from her dreams and those of friends, tends to immediately either attract or repel, and she refused to follow more orthodox paths of instruction and development, making her the bane of established art teachers.Her first break came when she was asked to do set design for an experimental dance production of Copland's rarely-performed ballet <em>Grohg.</em> Critical response to the entire production was mixed, but her contribution was cautiously praised. Several group shows at various small underground venues followed, and she's developed a small but steady following, producing slow but steady sales. <br><br>Nearly always working on something (or three somethings), she fills in the gaps with a number of offhand jobs: relief bartender and coffee barista being two of her faves.&nbsp; She even did a brief stint as a topless waitress, but given her flat-chested build and her mouth, you can imagine how well that worked out. Most of Eiryn's work is mid- to large-scale paintings, or paint-on-photomanip; she's done some sculpture, but it's not as successful as her brushwork, and she's the first to admit she really doesn't know what she's doing with structural arts. <br><br>Yet.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Honesty, music (almost anything), dancing (though she's not great at it), craft beer, good coffee, (most) art, body ink.<br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Politicians, poseurs (including 'chance artists'), cheep beer, liars, anyone who values form over content, weak coffee, homophobes, bike messengers, traffic, wafflers.<br><br><strong>Ons:</strong> foreplay (all kinds of playfulness, really); long, slow sex; strapons; casual nudity; sexy/interesting clothing.<br><br><strong>Offs:</strong> While she can be experimental, she's pretty vanilla overall, so anything especially rough or bizarre will be a nogo. Ask, but tread carefully.<br><br><strong>Additional Details:</strong> Eiryn's a fairly recent transplant to Indigo, having only arrived a bit under a year ago.&nbsp; In that time, she's been single so far as anyone knows, so her true orientation is an open question.<br><br><strong>Played By:</strong> Nowherewoman

Her clothing style is very eclectic. Sometimes, she's in lace and sometimes, she's in leather. Sometimes jeans and a tank top, sometimes she likes to get all dolled up and dressed to the nines. Aria has her tongue and belly button pierced. She has three tattoos. A black ankh on her inner right wrist, a dream catcher down her back, and a red semicolon on her inner left wrist. <br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Aria is intelligent and is quite the smart ass around people that she's comfortable with. She's got some self-image issues, but is working on those. She is friendly and usually a happy go lucky kind of person.&nbsp; She is a bit of a perfectionist while baking or decorating. She can be moody and withdrawn when she's upset in any way. A slight temper, but she has a long fuse when it comes to that. Kind of like a snake, she'll only take so much until she strikes.<br><br><strong>Bio:</strong> Aria was born and raised in Savannah, Georgia to the CEO of an entertainment conglomerate and a trophy wife, the metaphorical silver spoon in her mouth, she had the best of everything. The best schools, piano lessons, violin lessons, voice lessons, most of which were just to keep her busy while her parents traveled the globe.&nbsp; Her family wasn't uber rich, but they were more than comfortable.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;When she was 17, Aria's mother walked in on her and a friend, sans clothing, going at it on her bed. It wasn't taken to so kindly and she was pretty much disowned, cut off and kicked out to live on the streets. She was just lucky that she had an aunt who took her in and taught her everything that she knew about baking. As strange as it seemed, Aria was happier doing that than anything she'd ever done. She left her aunt's after her 21st birthday and headed to Indigo Way, she'd heard a little about the place and thought that she'd fit in pretty well. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Once she'd settled in, Aria went about getting a loan to open up a bakery of her own. Naming the place Sinfully Sweet seemed perfect to the young woman.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Honesty, romance, any kind of music, singing, painting, tattoos, piercings, espresso, whiskey, scotch, cognac, wine, dancing.<br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Arrogance, liars, vodka, snobs, judgmental people, people who act dumb to attract attention to themselves. <br><br><strong>Ons:</strong> Slight bdsm (silk ties, spanking, handcufs, slight pain, nothing too hardcore. Preference not requirement), being teased, seduction, sex in general (romantic and sensual, marathon sex, quickies, hard and rough).<br><strong>Offs:</strong> Anything bathroom related, extreme pain, not many besides those.<br><br><strong>Additional Details:</strong> Aria is quite talented on the piano and violin, she will only play while alone or in the company of someone she is completely comfortable with. She's a loving, happy, and slightly loud drunk. Aria's lived in Indigo Way for almost a year, but hasn't been seriously involved with anyone. She had a dark period in her life, right after her parents disowned her. Depression, attempted suicide, but she's over that now. Maybe if someone's lucky, they'll find out the meaning of the tattoo on her inner left wrist.<br><br><strong>Played By:</strong> GaGa88<br><br><strong>Tattoos:</strong><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://img.golivewire.com/ib/370146_f.jpg)</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/25/b4/9d/25b49de1c85a3ad01fb09b4e3a400396.jpg)</div></div> red not black<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://cute-tattoo.com/files/2013/08/4480378628998664111.jpg)</div></div><br><br>Car: <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/72/01/85/720185c6c133d2c98e9a9c79aa638069.jpg)</div></div>

(http://tattoo-pictures.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/01-Cobra-Tattoo.jpg), Hair colour is likely to change without notice...<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Maggie is a no-nonsense person. She doesn't take shit from anyone, especially not her tenants. If you give her grief, she gives it right back! But if you get on her good side she can be the sweetest, kindest person going. She has been known to give people who are struggling a month's rent-holiday if they need it, she is always quick to get things fixed when they break, but woe betide the tenant who deliberately breaks stuff, or simply doesn't pay the rent - especially if they are spending money elsewhere!<br><br>She is reasonably tolerant of parties, so long as she gets invited! She turns a blind eye to cannabis being used on the premises, but if she learns that anyone is dealing anything stronger she will put her foot down. She doesn't indulge in weed herself, in fact she doesn't smoke. Her only real vice is a bottle of 12 year old single malt scotch whisky that she replaces whenever it gets emptied. She has a black-belt in Judo.<br><br><strong>Bio:</strong> Maggie grew up in the neighbourhood, went to school in the neighbourhood, in fact the only time she left the neighbourhood was to go to university in Madison WI. She returned with a degree, and worked for ten years in various dead-end jobs, some retail, some in real estate, one in a care home that was shut down due to lack of funding, until she found that the apartment complex she had grown up in was in need of a building manager. She applied for and got the job, and immediately set about cleaning up the place, kicking out the squatters and pushers, fixing up the apartments, actually spending the money she was allocated by the owners, rather than just lining her own pockets with it as the previous incumbent had done.<br><br>Her father passed away two years ago from lung cancer, one reason Maggie doesn't smoke. Her mother still lives in Parker Commons, in apartment 207. She has a kid brother who joined the navy and spends most of his time in Norfolk VI, is married with two kids and is looking to be promoted from Commander to Captain in the near future.<br><br>She's had a number of short-term relationships over the years but is still looking for that one special someone she can settle down with.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> 1970s heavy rock, single malt Scotch whisky, motorbikes, Science Fiction, boobs, Food - especially spicy food, being underestimated.<br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Pushy men who think she just needs a cock to put her straight, people who piss in elevators, drug dealers, bullies, dishonest tradespeople. <br><br><strong>Ons &amp; Offs:</strong> As player O/Os (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=74306.0)<br><br><strong>Additional Details:</strong> Owns a vintage 1950s Harley Davidson (http://www.backfirealley.com/images/1950_Harley-Davidson2.jpg) that was her dad's<br><br><strong>Played By:</strong> Chrystal

When he isn't in uniform, he usually wears some kind of athletic or sports wear.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Jason is an ambitious guy who jumps at any challenge, or what he perceives as one. It makes him competitive, sometimes in an internal, one-sided way, finding it easier to better himself if he has someone as a benchmark. Some would call him uptight and rigid, maybe emphasized by his reserved expressions, but he considers himself goal-driven, with there being little time for much else. He's assertive, one to rarely hold his tongue if he truly has something to say and one to intervene in a situation if he deems it necessary. Also, Jason is observant, more so with people than he is with his surroundings.<br><br><strong>Bio:</strong> Jason was born on an army base in Florida and lived there for the first eleven years of his life, after his dad lost the lower half of his leg in a roadside bomb. Once his dad got used to his prosthetic, they moved--a few times, never staying in one place for more than two years, until Jason started high school. By then, they were in Illinois, so they stayed there. <br><br>Growing up, Jason was an achiever, always striving to give a 110% in both athletics and academics, or at least the classes that were important. Having an older brother might have helped with this. They had their share of fights over the years, but Jason admired him, and also saw him in a competitive light, pushing himself to do what his brother could do, for the most part.<br><br>It was a tradition in the Garder family for the men to serve in the military. His brother continued it, but Jason didn't. It caused a little conflict between him and his dad, but he eventually accepted that Jason wanted to go into law enforcement instead. Jason applied after high school, and in the meantime, he busted his rump in college to get a degree in criminology. When it was time, he began training to become a cop for Chicago, with the hope of becoming an FBI agent in a few years.<br><br>It wasn't until recently that he moved to Parker Commons as a way to try to experience the community a little more.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Sports, staying fit, gun ranges, paintballing, <em>Criminal Minds</em> and similar shows<br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Laziness, aimless people, overly emotional people, addicts &amp; whores, cigarette smoke, sitting still for long periods, drinking, bullshit<br><br><strong>Ons:</strong> Handcuffs, pinning another, wrestling/roughhousing, other ons found here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=113236.0), small breasts<br><strong>Offs:</strong> Toys, guys with no muscle, fisting, toilet play, more than slight pain, anonymous sex (he prefers to at least know the person)<br><br><strong>Played By:</strong> Haru329

Being the kind of woman who does her best to see a smile or a laugh from other people made her really loved back in Japan. When asked about her own personal life she always tries to change the theme or the discussion, shift it in another direction.<br><br><strong>Bio:</strong> Hitomi was born in a very small town in the outskirts of Tokyo Japan. Ever since little she has been in the recieving end of bullies and people judging her because of her early likes in woman.&nbsp; When she tried to confess to a girl the entire school knew about it and started making fun of her, bullying her and taking away her lunch money. High school for Hiruma was hell at least until an event happened that would change her way of acting forever.&nbsp; Everybody would change the way that they thought about her from that moment on.<br><br>She was sorrounded one night while on the way home and she was robbed and stabbed three times. Leaving her for dead they didn't really saw one of the girls on Hitomi's school around, after they left the girl helped Hitomi by calling the ambulance and sticking with her. The sight of her own blood triggered a phobia that would never disappear from that point on, she was afraid of mostly her own blood and got really worried if the blood of a friend showed even from a small wound. Since that day she picked up on self defence and started working out, going from a fat otaku to one of the sexiest girls in school.<br><br>However that didn't stopped there, she still had in mind the suffering from back when she was a fat otaku so she used her new knowledge to defend nerds and geeks from bullies causing quite a lot of black eyes in both male and females alike. Nearly not graduating because of all the fights she managed to get through high school and quickly went to the USA in search for dreams.&nbsp; Attending college there she mayored in Finance and then decided to move to a small town for awhile and try to live some sort of a happy life before her adult life started.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong><br>- <strong>Music:</strong> She finds refuge in music, she has an amazing singing voice and knows how to play guitar. To her Music is a way to get out of reality so she is always singing or humming to herself while she thinks.<br><br>- <strong>Anime/Gaming:</strong> She loves video games and Anime, they take her to a world outside of her own and permits her to imagine wonderful things. <br><br>- <strong>Martial Arts:</strong> Learning martial arts back where she is from she often keeps in shape and tries her best to keep her figure as well. She uses Martial Arts as a takeout of any anger issues she might have.<br><br>- <strong>Drawing:</strong> Just a hobby she has when the internet or TV is not functioning.<br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong><br><br>- <strong>Bullies:</strong> She hates bullies or people that just make fun of or take advantage of others. She is very known back in Japan for getting into fist fights with bullies, sometimes she wins sometimes she don't but she always gets in the middle to try to protect her friends.<br><br>- <strong>Blood [Hemophobia]:</strong> She has a very intense phobia of too much blood especially blood coming from her own body. She tends to freeze, sweat and scream without control for even an injury that will take a couple of stitches.<br><br>- <strong>Heights:</strong> She hates heights reason why she will not go in a roller-coaster anytime soon.<br><br>- <strong>Obsessed:</strong> Once she gets into something it's really difficult to get her mind out of that thing. She is very stubborn and will pursue it in order to find the truth.<br><br><strong>Ons||Offs:</strong> Clicky (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=212189.0)<br><br><strong>Played By:</strong> Letrixia

She spots the septum facial piercing, as well as having both her nipples pierced. <br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Olivia is a very out-going individual with a lot of interests and hobbies. She's a night owl and is found the most active when the sky is at its darkest. She loves to dance and can often be located at a bar or club given an outstanding burlesque dance. Olivia is also very flirtatious and somewhat of a romantic. She has yet to find or settle down with someone and prefers to have casual encounters. However, this does not change the fact that she is a very down-to-earth and loving friend. She likes to listen and loves when people seek her for advice or help. More often than not, Olivia can be quite sarcastic and goofy and likes the finer things in life. This however does not mean that shes a snob in any way. Drama is a theme that does not show up in her life very often and she prefers to keep it that way.<br><br><strong>Bio:</strong> Olivia was born October 25th, 1989 in San Francisco, California to a rather carefree household. Unlike a majority of the children she grew up with, her parents did not baby her and were never afraid to answer any questions she had out of curiosity. Olivia frequented the gay pride parade with her mother every year and because of this, she was always open with herself as person and with her sexuality. She first discovered her immediate attraction to women when she was in her dance class. At the time, Olivia was only fourteen years old and had never had any sexual encounter with man or woman. One of her very close friends was always helping her and very flirtatious with her. When Olivia started to harbor feelings for the girl, she was confused at her friends playfulness. Fortunately for her, the girl was very open-minded and did not let it phase her when Olivia confessed an attraction to her. The girl and Olivia had their first sexual experience together later that evening when they left dance class. <br><br>In school, Olivia was very detail oriented - but also the class clown. It often flabbergasted her teachers at how incredible smart she was for being so goofy. Olivia graduated highschool at the top 5% of her class and went onto study Dance and Computer Science in college. By the age of twenty-two, she gradated with a Master's in Computer Science and a minor in Dance education. Once she left school, Olivia was lost at what to do with her life as a whole. Still loving dance to this very day, she made a small - but profitable career- out of burlesque dancing. Her career took off and brought her to Chicago where she is now active as a dancer and hopefully one day she can find something to do with her computer degree. <br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Cooking, Reading - Collecting Comics, Dancing, Flings, Video Games, and Traveling<br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Animal abusers, loud noises while trying to relax/rest, burnt food, those who can't hold an intellectual conversation<br><br><strong>Ons &amp; Offs:</strong> Click Here :D (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=194739.0)<br><br><strong>Additional Details:</strong> Anything else you want to share.

No immediately identifying scars, but he's got about as many as the average person.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Damon is known for two things among his family and friends: the relaxed pace at which he goes through life, and the sometimes eerie precision with which he assesses people; not only the broad sort of person they are, which he finds trivially easy, but over time also their thought patterns and emotional states. People he's just met tend to think he's either naive and flighty or overly critical of everyone around him; in reality, he's just prudent to a sometimes ridiculous degree. Things don't bother him because he's constantly prepared for the worst, and he sounds critical because he wants others to do the same in whatever way is best for them.<br><br>When he's not sounding like a nosy critic, he's quite introverted and soft-spoken, but he'll happily talk at length with just about anyone about just about anything. He finds a lot of enjoyment in reading new studies and learning about new technology, and dabbles in enough other topics to not sound like a total fool should they arise. He does have a rather bad habit of simply dumping all of the information he knows about a topic on people, but he's happy to listen when other people do the same to him, so he rarely feels bad about it.<br><br>As a final note on his personality, he often talks to himself and gets lost in daydreams easily; while he's not totally unreliable and has a good memory for conversations and numbers, he's incredibly scatterbrained and relies heavily on his cell phone's scheduling app to make sure he's where he needs to be when he needs to be there, and that all his bills are paid on time. He also hauls a messenger bag nearly everywhere he goes like it's a safety blanket, and it's usually packed with just about everything you'd expect an excessively prudent person to have: deodorant, cologne, full change of clothes, daily planner, lip balm, facial tissue, and spare change. He also stashes a small pharmacy of over-the-counter medicine in there, from aspirin to cough syrup to multivitamins, though even he admits this is rather extreme.<br><br><strong>Bio:</strong> Damon's childhood is the epitome of what you'd expect from a single child of rich parents; he was raised by a nanny, and catered to in the extreme. Everything from meals to toys to bedtime, if he asked for it, he got it. It turned him into quite the spoiled brat for many years, until he was around 10; that was the year the spoiling ground to a halt. The nanny he'd grown up with and was homeschooled by was let go, and his parents attempted to be more hands-on with him; the change caused intense withdrawal on Damon's part, as though he obviously knew his parents and knew he was loved by them, the sudden intrusion into his life felt like a massive breach of trust, and he was basically silent in their presence for several months while he adjusted to them. It was during this time his prosopagnosia was formally diagnosed; when they tried to rehire his previous nanny at reduced hours to ease the transition, Damon refused to let her near him simply because he didn't recognize her new perfume.<br><br>After the near-failure of the parental bonding, Damon was sent to a private school; he had a great deal of difficulty adjusting and making friends (as he expected), and this rather cemented his introverted and prudent nature. He had to plan every day around figuring out who was who once he reached school, and most days it was too difficult to do much beyond the planning stage; it was during this time that he trained himself to recognize people by their voices. It got even easier once he reached high school and the rules around uniforms were slightly more relaxed, as the personal flair everyone put on their uniform made it much easier for him to recognize people. He, of course, didn't alter his uniform at all, as he saw no reason to; he still had some spoiled brat tendencies, and pretended that everyone else modified their uniform so he could tell them apart. He made a few very close friends in the last two years of high school, but now he rarely hears from them aside from the occasional email.<br><br>After high school, he avoided university and college, despite his parents' protests. He felt no desire to continue dealing with school and the problems it presented&nbsp; to him, and couched his refusal to go as "needing to find himself". It was simple and effective lie, and one which convinced his parents to let him move out on his own... Sort of. He moved to Parker Commons almost right away, and even 5 years down the line his parents still pay his rent. He got a job at Lustful Minds shortly after moving in, though he told his parents he works in a call center to avoid any disapproval they might have towards his actual job.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Audiobooks, animals, musical theatre, board games, video games with distinct character costumes, cooking and baking, karaoke, jigsaw puzzles, and swimming.<br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Pulling all-nighters, implied redundancies ("ATM machine", "PIN number", etc.), large crowds, pretty much anything to do with portrait photography, wearing hats, and excessively confrontational people.<br><br><strong>Ons and Offs:</strong> Damon's tried just about everything there is to try, so suggesting even outlandish things probably won't faze him, but he may still turn you down if he doesn't trust you enough. <span style="font-size: 8pt;" class="bbc_size">((Basically, I, and by extension Damon, have so few offs that you're pretty much fine suggesting whatever you're comfortable with, and as long as Damon would trust the character presenting that suggestion enough to do it, I'll go along with it. If I'm somehow uncomfortable with something, I'll deal with it IC and toss you a PM afterwards. :-) ))</span><br><br><strong>Additional Details:</strong> Damon has congenital prosopagnosia, and doesn't recognize people (including himself) by their faces; instead, he trained himself to recognize people by their voices instead, and as a result has excellent echoic memory. If he's really close with someone, he may also recognize them by their preferred perfume or cologne.<br><br>He's 'adopted' a squirrel that lives near Parker Commons; he brings food for it when he goes to relax outside, and it's even let him hand-feed it a couple of times. He calls it Anthony, but he's pretty sure it prefers being called Pennywise.<br><br><strong>Played By:</strong> ForestMagi

Her breasts are starting to form going on to a B cup, her penis is 7 inches when erect. To a person that does not know she is a full on female. <br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> She is a firecracker she knows how to have fun and is not afraid to go get it. She can be the friendliest person you know however ask her about her past and she will retract into a protective shell in her own mind and change the subject, keep insisting? She will just walk away. She has come to terms with her predicament and fully embraces it now which wasn't the case awhile ago. She loves to have fun weather that means hanging around and being silly or just having some kinky fun.<br><br><strong>Bio:</strong> <br><br>She was born and raised into a family that had only males even though her parents always wanted a girl. They accepted every male because there was no way they could ever pass as a female however with Danny things were different. She began growing up and some people even&nbsp; mistook her for a girl a couple of times, she had the looks to make a great female and their parents wanted that to happen. One day however&nbsp; things turn for the ugly, and something happened that would change her life.<br><br>When she turned sixteen her parents began drugging her in her food without her knowing and forced her to have a strict diet. The drugs were pills to make her breasts grow and her voice change, adams apple slowly began to shrink giving her a more of a girl voice. She didn't began to grow muscle and on the contrary began getting weaker and her hair began to get longer. Finally when she found out about the predicament she was shocked and furious. <br><br>She tried going to the police but their connections were extensive so they just got a slap on the wrists. After that everything changed, they threw away her male clothing and began forcing her to wear female clothing, they continued to force her the pills on the food and to make her appear as much as a girl as they could. Before she knew it she could not even tell that she was born a male aside from the penis between her legs. <br><br>After awhile she began to grow used to it, people began being kinder to her thinking that she was a girl. When she turned 18 she quickly moved out of her parents place and began studying under the name Denisse. She knew that nobody would believe her story so she just tried her best to not think about it and just live her live as a girl. Graduating with honors from Law she moved to a quiet place trying to start a new life and hoping that people would accept her for who she was.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Music, Writing, Singing, Skating. <br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Rudeness, Gross things, asking about her past, Snakes<br><br><strong>Ons:</strong>//<strong>Offs:</strong> https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=212189.0<br><br><strong>Additional Details:</strong> She would hate talking about her past, she could turn very depressed and sad when that happens.<br><br><strong>Played By:</strong> Letrixia

She has her tongue pierced.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Liz has been described as a bitch with a heart of gold, but anyone that truly knows her knows that she's far from a bitch. Very loving, Liz is generous and can be honest to a fault sometimes. She is protective of her friends and those who are seen as weaker by others. She can be cynical at times. She is very smart. She's the youngest of a set of twins and loves her sister dearly. She doesn't talk much or open up to people easily but once she opens up, she tends to never shut up. <br><br><strong>Bio:</strong> Liz comes from the union of a grade school teacher and a lawyer, but never really fit in around where she comes from. A small town in Louisiana, the population there is under 2,000. She'd always yearned to get out but didn't want to leave her twin behind. Liz and her sister had always had this kind of 'us against the world' type relationship. She fell in love with a woman 10 years her senior and at 16, she ran away with her lover. For one year, everything was perfect but one day she finds that her lover is the madam of a very lucrative and secretive brothel. Instead of being disgusted, Liz was intrigued and soon became one of Katherine's biggest assets and Liz loved every minute of it.<br><br>She was devastated at the news that her lover and mistress had been diagnosed with breast cancer. At 18, that was a lot to handle but she cared for the woman she loved until her death. She was still grieving her loss when she moved back home and readied herself for the expected reaction she had always seen in her mind. She could handle the look of betrayal on her parents' facesbut she didn't know what she'd do if she saw it on her sister's face. Finding that her sister no longer lived there, Liz made her way to Indigo Way.<br><br>Trying to stay away from the calling that she'd found in her old life, but she wanted extra income so she started being a high class escort again. She only graced people who had money with her services and hasn't had a serious relationship since Katherine.<br><br>She hasn't really spoken to her sister since she ran off because she feels kind of ashamed and really guilty for leaving her. After a while, Liz convinced her twin to come to Chicago.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Old movies, spicy food, any type of music, sweets, coffee, dancing, wine.<br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Arrogance, beer, being broke, more than a little cockiness.<br><br><strong>Ons:</strong> Bondage, a little pain, being seduced, romance.<br><strong>Offs:</strong> Bathroom play, bestiality. Pretty much everything else is a go.<br><br><strong>Additional Details:</strong> For the right price, Liz will do pretty much anything sexual.<br><br><strong>Played By:</strong> GaGa88

Tattoo right thigh: black rose briar/red blood drops.<br><br><br>Prefers ratty men's clothes or heavily studded punk-style leather gear.<br><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> At least on the surface, Ryder is every bit the bitch her twin is not. Combative, aggressive, with a violent temper and a deliberately provocative manner of speaking (unless she's trying to get something from you), she's the very picture of damaged youth.&nbsp; She even carries a switchblade in her boot, for God's sake, and has had to use it once or twice. Oddly, though, nearly every temporary lover she's used and left, while hurt and angry, tends to be somewhat sympathetic towards her, so clearly there's something more to her.<br><br><br><strong>Bio:</strong> <br><br>It's nearly impossible these days to believe, let alone guess, that Ryder is Elizabeth's twin. A fair bit skinnier, she's cultivated a far harder-edged look and personality.<br><br>It's not surprising.&nbsp; Liz's decamping with her lover made their well-meaning but shocked and scandalized parents clamp down on their 'remaining' daughter. Ryder (then Lauren; she legally changed it when she turned 18) stood it for about a year, and then cracked, staging a rebellion just this side of open war.<br><br>Fed up with all the 'nice' boys her parent kept pushing at her, Ryder dove into the Rave set and flaunted a series of one-night or short-term lesbian flings, often not even speaking to her folks for weeks. Along the way, she acquired a number of piercings and tats and a taste for recreational drugs, coke in particular. It's as if she was trying to take a very large hammer to not only her parents' idea of what their daughter 'should' be, but also her sister's happy, 'traditional' domestic life with her older mistress.<br><br>She dropped off her family's radar completely for a while, crashing with friends when she could, working menial jobs, stripping, and moving from one older pickup to another, hustling at clubs- anything to buy food and party supplies, and to fill the black hole in her heart and behind her eyes. Finally, one night, blitzed out of her head, she called her sister's old cel number, and was shocked when she actually answered.&nbsp; They didn't have much to say, but what was said convinced Ryder to come to Chicago, at least for a visit.<br><br>Neither of them is exactly sure how that's gonna work. Ryder is a rage-fueled party machine, with more than a few serious issues, but she hopes there's still some shred of the connection she once had with her 'Other Her'...<br><br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Roughish sex, voyeurism, loud parties, older women, being buzzed as often as possible, metal and ink, being irresponsible.<br><br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Girly girls, pushy guys, being asked to explain herself, talking about 'feelings', being rejected, music that doesn't make your ears bleed.<br><br><br><strong>Ons:</strong> While she's not a 'whip me, hurt me' type, there's very little else Ryder won't do or let be done to her in bed.<br><br><br><strong>Offs:</strong> Anything scattish, anything that draws more blood than a tat needle.<br><br><br><strong>Played By:</strong> NowhereWoman

L-Vang, Liam Discord (stage name)<br><strong>Age:</strong> 24<br><strong>Sex:</strong> male (cismale)<br><strong>Birthday:</strong> January 21st 1990<br><strong>Height:</strong> 5'7<br><strong>Sexual Orientation:</strong> Heterosexual<br><strong>Occupation:</strong> Musician/Owner of Immortal Instruments<br><strong>Residence:</strong> He lives in the rooms above the shop.<br><br><strong>Appearance Details:</strong> His hair is longer and depending on the outfit he either keeps it tied back&nbsp; or lets it hang down. If he's in a particularly showy mood, he teases it up. His hair despite the picture is normally black.&nbsp; His midsection has a bit of curve to it. Liam is almost always immaculately shaven, keeping all but his most private areas entirely smooth. As far as tattoos go, he has a few small ones on his upper arms and shoulders. One is the crest of house Stark from ASOIAF. Another is simply that of a flying v guitar. On his shoulders are two different wings, a white birds wing and bats wing.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Pious, creative, energetic, kind, contemplative, theatrical, and melancholy are all words that could be used to describe him. Being a passionate sort, his behavior at large public gatherings often comes across as theatrical. Some think him a flake for this very reason, but those people have not seen the more private Liam. As a person of boundless energy and creativity, he can be found pouring a great amount of time into his song writing with a diligence few artists possess. He also spends a fair amount of time involved in religious contemplation and reverie. His public face is not just a façade, but it masks something deep within him. For he is also a man of melancholy. A sense of pressure and the absence of something (or rather someone) important in his life weighs heavily on his heart. He worries about where his life is headed more frequently than he would readily admit, but he is not totally consumed by his woes either.<br><br><strong>Bio:</strong> Liam was born to moderately successful Hmong American jazz musician Bao Vang (his middle name was chosen because it is fathers name) and Katrina Blake in 1990. His father was generally accepting of his sons eccentricities of those early years and was delighted when he learned Liam had the same musical talent he possessed. As one might expect, Liam's first exposure to music was through jazz and he began his training at at an early age. It seemed as if there were few instruments he couldn't play and few songs he couldn't sing. However, despite his respect for the music his father had raised him to that point, he was more interested in the unusual,old prog. rock his mother listened to. While this didn't necessarily cause any friction between father and son, it was a sign of things to come. The second sign was the boy rifling through his mothers make up and clothing/ Liam experimented with them and tried them on and for all his fathers tolerance, this he simply would not have and while his father never beat him within an inch of his life, he went out of his way to discourage him from doing so. This led to the creation of a more volatile father/son relationship.<br><br>More so, when he began to incorporate influences from the rock music he preferred into the jazzy style his father favored, especially when it came to improvisation, it led to heated arguments. As arbitrary as it sounds, his father had a very specific path in mind for his eldest son and did not want it to be derailed. This is not to say his childhood was utter hell though. Indeed, he never went to bed starving. Liam's home life was usually free from any overt strife and his parents generally got along well. Neither one lifted a hand to strike the other. Indeed, in spite of the arguments, things in the Vang household were harmonious. While neither parent pushed their son into any single religious background, he engaged in the traditional spiritual practices associated with his Hmong ancestors and those of his mothers&nbsp; "Celtic" Wicca leanings. He felt a need to be connected to the spiritual from a young age. These distinct religious practices as he saw them helped him connect to both sides of his heritage in a way few other things did. From these, he began to synthesize his own religious philosophy which perhaps helped him maintain a semblance of serenity.<br><br>His high school years were marked by a notable transformation. Liam would often show up to school in makeup and clothing one might deem effeminate even though other kids taunted him for it. His creative horizons expanded as his skill grew and he began to develop a certain flare for the dramatic. Liam spent increasingly long periods of time away from home either jamming with friends, partying, or pursuing other interests. One could say this is when he really began to discover himself.<br><br>Liam put himself through college on a series of music scholarships and relished the new found freedom. For extra cash he would provide music lessons. This was going well for a while until he learned his mother had cancer. She had developed a rather severe case of breast cancer and nearly died. Consequently, this nearly derailed his academic career, but something positive did come of it. His father reconciled his differences with his son and offered unconditional support in whatever endeavors he pursued from that day forward.<br><br>Deciding he needed a backup plan in case his plans to become a rock star didn’t quite work out he asked his father for some assistance in starting up a business. Thus, Immortal Instruments was born. A music shop which sells all manner of instruments. As for his choice of location, Liam set up shop in the Indigo Way area because he could at least be sure it would reduce his chances of getting beat up by random pedestrians if he decided he wanted to walk out the door in a dress. He hopes that one day, someone will sign him, but until then, he runs his business with a relative sense of ease.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Music (Mostly rock and some jazz and electronic), Philosophy, Poetry, Fantasy (novels, films, videogames, table top games, etc.), Dominant Women, Coffee, Rococo art, Wine, <br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Most current “club” music, Beer, Drabness, racists, “traditional” gender roles, movies where cute animals die, shark movies (he has a fear of sharks)<br><br><strong>Ons and Offs:</strong>https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=157569.0<br><br><strong>Additional Details:</strong> <br>He had to put up with a rather irritating amount of racism growing up and as a result it’s something that really sticks in his craw.<br><br>Despite what one may think, he is not a drag queen. Yes, some of what he does screams it, but he is not one. He is a performer who happens to crossdress. Liam considers what he does and drag to be two different art forms.<br><br>He sings and plays multiple instruments.<br><br>He won’t readily admit it, but he gets a little nervous whenever something by the band Great White comes on. He also refuses to cover songs by the band for the same reason.<br>&nbsp;<strong>Played By:</strong> Lux12

He also has his tongue pierced for the ladies.<br><strong>Personality:</strong><br>D is a generally happy fellow, always seems to have a smile for anybody he meets. He is friendly and the type of person to open doors for people, male or female. He has a sense of humor and enjoys laughing. He is definitely not a morning person though. Wake him before noon and he won't be quite so quick to smile or joke at least until he has his coffee. He really dislike confrontations but will not back down from one, but tries to remain calm. He will always try to talk his way through any before things can get violent. Should violence be the only option though he still will not back down.<br><strong>Bio:</strong><br>D grew up in a poorer neighborhood of Chicago, one where boys and many girls usually ended in a gang or victim of a gang. He managed to avoid too much trouble with gangs and refused to join one.<br><br>Early he he displayed a talent for art, primarily drawing. He not only had a talent for it but a passion. He could always be found with pencil and paper making all sorts of drawings.<br><br>In his early teens he also developed a passion for dance, but living where he did he could not get any formal dance training. He did however find a dojo where he could learn their art if he cleaned up and did other work for the owner and teacher. As he learned martial arts his teacher had doing all the artwork for the dojo. He enjoyed as many of the moves and practice was very dance like. The only reason he competed in tournaments though was because his teacher insisted.<br><br>At age 16 he developed a crush on a girl about the same age who had recently moved to his neighbor and he went to school with. However before he could express his interest in her life got in the way. On a Saturday evening when he was on his way home from the dojo he spotted her on the street, unfortunately so did three members of the local gang.<br><br>They made it clear that she was to “party” with them and they were not going to take no for an answer. When D came to her aid violence ensued. He was out numbered three to one and they were armed while he was not, he however had a couple of years of martial arts training. This training kicked in and in the end the girl ran off and got away. He had been cut across his chest and shot in his left thigh. The three gang members were also down with broken bones. All four young men went to the hospital where one of the three died.<br><br>Despite it being gang violence and he had just been defending himself and the girl. He was prosecuted for manslaughter as an adult and found guilty. So at the age of 17 he found himself in a penitentiary with men much older, more mature, and far more hardened. This is where he learned that he could enjoy some bi tendencies as a bottom, he never really got into being the top even when he could, he prefers females for that.<br><br>It was in prison that he developed his skill with ink. Somebody saw his drawings and insisted that he tattoo him. It soon became evident that his talent for drawing translated well to tattooing. Once it was learned that he could this his life in prison improved as he suddenly had something other than his young body that the other men wanted.<br><br>After doing his time he took the money he got upon his release to buy a used Harley and proper tattooing equipment. He then spent several years basically just on his bike traveling around the country going wherever people gathered that would want ink. He lived frugally saving every dime he could until he could get enough together open his own studio.<br><br>He finally reached that point and decided to return to the city he grew up in, just a better neighborhood. After getting his apartment and the small space for his shop&nbsp; as well the best tattooing and piercing equipment available he has enough money to survive on for a few months. He however is not worried about continued income as he has developed a reputation and much of his work has been featured in some of the magazines. He has also put together a web sight filled with pictures of his work.<br><strong>Likes:</strong><br>Drawing, he still almost always has pencil and a sketch pad close at hand.<br>Dancing, while he still has never gotten formal training he just loves to cut a rug.<br>Music, if it can be danced to he loves it.<br>Riding his Harley.<br><strong>Dislikes:</strong><br>Mornings, he likes to stay up well into the night so really dislikes mornings.<br>Despite being good at it, he abhors violence.<br>Rudeness.<br>Prejudice.<br><strong>Ons:</strong><br>With females: romance, foreplay, being dom or equals, some light bondage.<br>With males: receiving anal, some bondage<br><strong>Offs:</strong> extreme pain, torture, children, anything that belongs in the toilet, bestiality.<br><strong>Played By:</strong> Elf
