She's got several tattoos, her most obvious one being the string of multicolored stars that starts from the front of her right shoulder, goes diagonally across her back and then wraps around her side, finishing at her left hip. She's also got a big ribbon on the back of either one of her thighs, a bundle of fireworks on the outside of her right thigh, naughty things (gun, grenade, knife) on her left upper back and nice things (angel wings, heart, flower and another ribbon) on her lower right back. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br><strong>Personality:</strong> Star can definitely be a handful to deal with. She's very emotional, impulsive, and her fuse is often quite short. She's very opinionated and stubborn, and it's one hell of an accomplishment to ever make her admit that she's wrong. Filtering herself is not something that Star does very well, so if there's something on her mind, she'll almost always say it first and consider the consequences second. Also in the same vein, her actions are primarily governed by her emotions, so she's not the person to see about making calm, rational decisions. Star is also very competitive and abhors losing, and she's not always the most gracious in defeat.<br><br>On the other hand, for anyone who can look past her considerable flaws, she's also an extremely kind, caring and generous person who'll do <em>anything</em> for a friend. As far as she's concerned, they're her family. And as long as she's in a good mood, she's very lively, excitable and loves to have fun and crack jokes, so she can be a joy to be around as much as she can be a pain.<br><br><strong>History:</strong> Star. Her mother was probably high when she decided to name her. The woman had either been high or trying to get high the entire time that Star had known her, so it wasn't a very big stretch to think so. Her father had left before she was born. At least she had her brother Chase, who was three years older than her. He'd always looked after her as her best friend and almost even a father figure. As they grew older and their mother went even further off the rails, Chase even dropped out of high school so that he could work two jobs and keep the lights on and food on the table. <br><br>That would have given Star the chance to graduate had she not fallen in with the wrong crowd and started to go down the same dark path as her mom. She dropped out of school without ever telling her brother and lied and pretended that she was still going while he worked his ass off for nothing. Less than a year before she would have been supposed to graduate, Chase decided to enlist in the army so that he could maybe save enough money to help her pay for college, and after four years of service the military would pay for his college as well. <br><br>Star begged him not to go, feeling horribly guilty about what she'd done...but she still couldn't bring herself to tell him. She carried on the lie even after he left, even when they spoke on the phone, telling him that her graduation had gone fine, that she was working to save money and looking into potential colleges. Little did she know that she'd never get the chance to come clean and that the next time she saw Chase, he'd be lying lifelessly inside of a coffin.<br><br>It broke her world and greatly accelerated her downwards spiral towards rock bottom, which was where Jason would find her when he returned home and tried to get in touch with her, since she was the closest tie left to his best friend. Star was living with some guy in a trailer park. He was a drug dealer, pretty much the lowest of the low, and he smoked and snorted more product than he actually sold, but he shared it with her and he had a roof for her to sleep under, so she slept with him as long as he could give her those two things.<br><br>Thankfully, Jason had her cell phone number and called first, so when they met up, Star was sober and able to pretend like everything was fine, practically slipping back into the same lie that she felt so horrible about a second time without even thinking. They kept in touch loosely, and she kept up appearances with him...until she came knocking on his door in the middle of the night a few weeks later with a black eye and blood pouring from her nose and a broken lip.<br><br>Star had to come clean, and after having realized that night just how badly she needed to stop what she was doing, she begged Jason to help her fix herself.<br><br><strong>Current Situation:</strong> She's doing much better after having spent the last six months living with Jason. Star knew that he'd been getting into racing ever since he came back from the military, and because she wanted to feel like she was keeping a small part of her brother's legacy alive, she told him that she wanted to do it too. He helped Star get the project truck that Chase had been working on before leaving into drivable shape, and after she'd gotten some experience behind the wheel and some spare cash from working at her new job, they tacked on a few upgrades.<br><br>As they both got more and more into it, Star was unsatisfied with the rate at which they were improving, so she made the suggestion of renting a house together with all of the other amateur racers that they knew so that they could live and breathe it every day and accelerate the process. With his help and input from the others, the plan took shape and now they're ready to work their way up to the top of Tampa's extremely competitive underground racing scene.<br><br><strong>Car:</strong> Rat rod style 2001 Chevrolet S-10<br><br>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/2/23/Star-S10.jpg)<br><br><strong>Relationships:</strong><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Demi Etherson</div><div class="spoiler_body">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Juliana Dang</div><div class="spoiler_body">Juliana was the one person that Star was the most wary about living with. They'd never really had a problem before when they'd talked briefly at a few races, but it was mostly Jules and Jason doing the talking. To Star, Jules seemed like the snobby little princess type that she'd never gotten along with, so she was actually opposed to accepting her into the house when Jason suggested it, but he vouched for her pretty adamantly and persuaded her.<br><br>Somehow Star got stuck with Jules as her roommate, but by some miracle, they've actually gotten along quite well so far and have been gradually warming up to one another. Star's initial impression couldn't have been further from reality, since Jules turned out to be a really sweet and caring person, <em>and</em> she brought along the cutest little cat, whom Star immediately fell in love with. So far, she's pretty much had to swallow her words since she can hardly find anything to fault Jules on.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Blake Richardson</div><div class="spoiler_body">Star would go out to the bar where Blake worked from time to time, but nothing particularly noteworthy happened between the two of them until one night where Star got her ass kicked at pool by Clint. She was low on cash after Clint took most of it but wanted to get wasted to forget about her multiple and embarrassing losses. Running out of funds when she was only half drunk, Star (probably wrongfully) accused Blake of putting too little alcohol in her drinks, and when Blake disagreed, Star pretty much just called her out on being a terrible bartender. The girl actually stood up to her and fired back with some choice words of her own, so after that incident, Star made it a point to piss Blake off in any way that she could every time she visited that same bar.<br><br>A couple of months later, Star stumbled across some losers vandalizing a pretty cool looking 300zx on her way out from the bar. She'd always had a certain level of respect for cars thanks to her brother's obsession with them, and it had grown by leaps and bounds ever since she'd gotten into cars and racing herself, so she intervened without hesitation, and also without thinking. Probably not the smartest move, but luckily Blake came out of nowhere and the two wordlessly decided to team up and work together. Even more luckily, the guys vandalizing the car were drunk enough that their coordination was terrible and they got scared away pretty easily, so the situation didn't escalate.<br><br>Only after that did Star find out that the car belonged to Blake, which came as a surprise. Having just gained a good deal of respect for one another and found out that they shared a common passion, they quickly went from rivals to good friends, although the competitive edge between them remains ever present and they certainly don't see eye to eye on everything.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Jason Sullivan</div><div class="spoiler_body">Pretty much her adoptive brother. He helped her out when she needed someone and has been watching over her ever since, which was of course made easier by the fact that they've been living together for half a year before moving into the team house. Star tries to look after him too however she can. Fights aren't uncommon, especially with how much time they typically spend together, but they usually calm down and make up pretty quickly even after some of their more heated arguments. <br><br>She'd really like to help Jason get through his PTSD and other issues but feels unqualified to do so and really has no idea where to start or how to do it, so she's too afraid to bring it up. Star also worries that something bad might happen when he gets another one of his episodes and that she won't be able to stop it, but again, she has no idea how to broach the subject without upsetting him, so she's keeping it to herself for now.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Adriano Guillermo</div><div class="spoiler_body">Adriano is the only one of the four guys in the house that Star didn't really get to meet prior to everyone moving in. He seemed like a cool guy that would be pretty fun to have around, but once she saw him shirtless for the very first time by the pool, she instantly became his biggest fan. She definitely wants to get to know him better, and she kind of tries to impress him whenever he's around.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Clint Shaw</div><div class="spoiler_body">Their first meeting was at the bar where Blake worked. Star had been on a winning streak at pool over her last several visits, making a nice little bit of extra income from hustling random guys, but then she made the mistake of thinking that Clint was just some stupid tourist and that he'd be easy money. After losing the first game, she got quite pissed and demanded a rematch, insisting that she'd just been unlucky. Four games later and 100 dollars lighter, she was finally forced to grudgingly admit defeat.<br><br>She was attracted to Clint from the very beginning and intrigued by his unique style which she didn't come across every day, but when he tried to hit on her afterwards she still shot him down harshly just out of spite because he'd schooled her at pool. Still, behind her veil of bitchiness, Star thinks he's pretty cool and respects him, the harder part would be getting her to admit it.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marcellus Smith</div><div class="spoiler_body">Marcellus started off as one of Jason's friends, but the three of them ended up hanging out together a few times and Star developed an interesting rapport with him. She'd always had an easier time getting along with guys over girls, and with Marcellus it soon turned into a full blown bromance. They watch one another's backs and even wing for each other when they go out!&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Mr. Muffles</div><div class="spoiler_body">Future husband.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</div></div>

				<div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Clint Shaw<strong></strong></strong></span></div><br><div class="floatright">(http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg157/onilobo/Clint-4_zps9c4ac7e7.jpg)</div><br><strong>Age:</strong> 27<br><strong>Height:</strong> 6'0<br><strong>Weight:</strong> 175lbs<br><strong>Hair:</strong> Long (currently) an Brown<br><strong>Eyes:</strong> Hazel <br><br><strong>Current Occupation:</strong> Collusion Repair Specialist (Not formerly trained), Painter, "Gambling Cowboy"<br><br><strong>Hobbies outside of racing:</strong> Football, gambling,drinking, shooting, grilling and fucking <br><br><strong>Appearance/Style:</strong>&nbsp; Clint is not the "trendiest" of dressers and is rather "simple" in his taste. Jeans, boots (cowboy) and cowboy shirts or a T-shirt. He has not worn a suit since his parents forced him to go to church when he was a teenager. People have poked fun at his over sized belt buckle but he takes it in stride, more so when he reveals the back has a bottle opener which makes it easier to pop open some beers and start the good times. He talks with a Texan draw and shows proper manners (attributed to his mother). It rare to see him without a cowboy hat, some traditions don't die. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br><strong>Personality:</strong>&nbsp; Clint works hard and likes to relax hard. When it is time to work he is an efficient machine with a work ethic and discipline not seen in men his age. When work is over he loves a good beer, meal and a football game. He does not like the club scene but does enjoy hitting up a local dive bar for a round of pool (Where he can hustle his fair share of good players) or a local gambling hall or casino. Clint is a "goes with the flow" type guy and is not quick to anger and get crazy but can deliver a mean punch if pushed to far. If there is a rodeo in town you better believe you will find Clint there. Clint does carry a fire arm on him but he has never been forced to draw it on anyone. <br><br><strong>History:</strong>&nbsp; Clint always imaged a life outside of Bonney Texas. His father ran the local car shop/gas station, his mother taught at the local elementary school and he was the town football hero. It was the type of town where everyone knew everyone else's business and the only child could not wait to get away. Clint was born carrying a football (or so his father claimed) and played most his life. His teenage life consisted of girls, football and working under his father at their shop. Unfortunately Clint was never much for mechanic work, like math (another failed subject) he understood the basics but excelled in another aspect of car work, body repair and paint. His family encouraged him to pursue both football and auto body repair, unfortunately after an injury in his senior year his hopes of a life in the NFL came to an end. <br><br>With his one escape out of Bonney cut short he turned to collusion repair and packed up his truck and left to make his own way after Highschool. Clint ended up in Florida working at a small repair shop as the collusion repair specialist and painter. Despite is lack of formal training, his work was quickly noticed and offers from bigger shops paying more started to come in. A few years of living in Florida introduced him to many things the small town "cowboy" knew little about, the most influential being street racing. Many people gave him shit about driving his truck to late night car shows and races but those who hired him to paint and install their (body) kits always spread the word on his expertise.<br><br>In time he got the money for a Nissan 240sx and started to race it, mostly losing until he swapped out an engine and had a few modifications done to the car, the most expensive one to date being a Sr20det engine which pushed the car up to 210hp, 255 once full tuned.<br><br>He heard Tampa was a good scene and decided to move out that way. Clint lived in his truck a few weeks while he worked at a new shop, until he met Marcellus Smith and learned they needed a roommate. Clint moved in, met them and made new friends. <br>&nbsp;<br><br><strong>Current Situation:</strong> [You don't really need to fill this in yet until after we've worked out the character histories together. Just a sentence or two if you want.<br><br><strong>Car:</strong> 95 Nissan 240sx with Sr20det engine and s15 body kit, fully tuned at 255 hp <br>99 Ford Ranger, Work truck/Daily Driver <br>(http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg157/onilobo/Truck_zpsc8ba96c8.jpg) (http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg157/onilobo/s15_zps71d6ec95.jpg)<br><br><strong>Relationships:</strong><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Star Freyman</div><div class="spoiler_body">I met Star before I ended up moving in with all of them. She hung out at a bar I visit on occasion to hit on women and ended up beating her at pool a few times. Later I found out that she was friends with Blake the bar tender and any attempts to hit on them was normally rejected, I guess her friend told her about me. When I finally met them through Marcellus and knew they would be my future room mates I pretty much put these two on a "most likely not going to happen" list. It doesn't help that I bring chicks over and I have been caught more than one nailing them on the work shop bench in the garage.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header"> Demi Etherson</div><div class="spoiler_body">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Juliana Dang</div><div class="spoiler_body"> Jewels is cool girl, I met her long before we became room mates doing some body work. I didn't think much of it past that encounter until I was introduced to her and the rest of the people Marcellus lived with. Soon enough I moved in also and we became room mates. Jewels is the princess type, likes keeping her nails and hair done and I appreciate that and days she lays out by the pool in a bikini. Hell, I appreciate when all our female room mates do that. We do have one thing in common, she likes to eat my meat and by that I mean when I grill, not that I would reject her if she wants to saddle up and give me a ride.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Blake Richardson</div><div class="spoiler_body"> I hit on Blake a few times at the bar only to be shot down. I met Star here also, figure the two are friends. I might have salvaged my chances with Blake after I moved in if I had not been caught fucking that Spanish foreign exchange student on the workbench in the garage. We are still cool, I am not sure if Blake shared the story with the other girls, I doubt they have been spared a sight of my ass, I sleep nude and the bathroom is in the hallway. </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Jason Sullivan</div><div class="spoiler_body"> I met Jason after moving into the house. After learning he was a former solider, I pretty much didn't ask him about his time in the service or any of the details. We hang out as a roommates, share a drink or two but the conversation never gets past idle chit chat. In the garage we tend to stick to our own projects and help each other as needed but the most I can do is hand him tools, I don't get all the electronic stuff. </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Adriano Guillermo</div><div class="spoiler_body"> Adriano seems cool enough, even when he challenged the cat to a staring competition. We have a few things in common, mostly our hectic work schedules. I think all the guys tend to hang out well together, the ladies are different. We are guys, despite some trash talk on races we get along well and can drink and grill on the weekends. His accent is a little hard to understand but I bet it is a damn good panty dropper.&nbsp; </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marcellus Smith</div><div class="spoiler_body"> I met Marcellus through his uncle at a shop I freelance at once in a while. We went out for beers a few times and started hanging out, he was the first person I befriended since my move to Tampa. When I heard about their plans to move into a house and they were looking for more roommates I jumped in. I been living in my truck for a few weeks beforehand, never really having the time to settle in as I was hustling for work and I had a string of temporary relationships that finding a bed of my own was a big concern.<br><br>Me and Marcellus devolved a rivalry of sorts, he is a FWD driver and I have faith in RWD. We raced a few times and we seem to be trading wins and losses. Maybe once I get enough money and get my car to its final tune I will have that edge to give him a nice loss streak.&nbsp; </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Mr. Muffles</div><div class="spoiler_body"> I never really liked cats a lot, but this one is alright and has a pussy wagon and I respect that. Jewels doesn't know,&nbsp; I toss the cat meat of the grill from time to time.&nbsp; </div></div><br><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Awareness:</strong></td><td>█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Reflexes:</strong></td><td>█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Handling:</strong></td><td>█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Drifting:</strong></td><td>█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Composure:</strong></td><td>█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Daredevilry:</strong></td><td>█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █</td></tr></tbody></table>

Drunk karaoke has to be one of his favorite activities. He also loves to carve when he's looking for some peace and quiet on his own, and he especially loves to carve near they ocean, listening to the waves.<br><br><strong>Appearance/Style:</strong> Well-built, both from his exercises and the labors of his day job. He likes to be fit, knowing how important health is, though he is not quite on the verge of being a health freak. He is just over 6 foot tall, and usually has a friendly smile on his face. He tends to wear T-shirts or button-up shirts and jeans most of the time, donning his leather jacket from Italy when it gets cold, or his button-up shirts and ties when he needs to be formal, which is rarely ever. His clothing style tends to be more European than American, with tighter shirts rather than the American loose-fitting T-shirt and the like.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br><strong>Personality:</strong> As an Italian, he is very passionate about the things he likes and the things he dislikes. Unfortunately, his job has fallen in the middle of either extreme, which was why he turned to racing. He has a voice that isn't too low but is still rich, as evidenced by the hearty laugh that is not hard to hear when around him. He loves jokes and laughing, and partying as well, though he doesn't smoke or do drugs. He can drink with the best of them, though, and is quite the entertainer when drunk. He isn't very good at being serious, though, and struggles with tough decisions. When he gets angry, he tends to lose control, but luckily his happy nature prevents this from happening often.<br><br><strong>History:</strong> His family immigrated to the United States from Italy. His father started a pizza shop, which did well enough for their family, especially since Adriano was an only child. Adriano was raised entirely in the USA, though, so while he knew his Italian roots, he was raised an American through and through, watching football and racing as he grew up. He gave up American football for European football, which was clearly better (so many fuckin rules), but he was fascinated by racing. He lived a fairly ordinary life as a child other than that, though.<br><br>He would've loved to go to college, but his family didn't quite have the money for that, and Adriano wasn't quite smart enough to win any scholarship that would make up for what his family needed. So he went to a vocational school and learned to become a carpenter, working odd jobs in the meantime to earn his allowance. Turns out, he was quite good at being a carpenter, even if he wouldn't call it his passion. It was exciting at first, but then the monotony set in. He didn't love it, but he didn't hate it as well, and he was good at it, so he kept at it. He made a decent salary, enough to afford clothes that suited his style and the drinks he liked to drink. Not much beyond that, though.<br><br>That was when he heard about street racing. He went through some shady Italian mob-like people first, but eventually he found some of the racing crowd, enough to watch a race. And that was when he knew what he really wanted to do. It was just so ... exciting to race. After a bit of time saving up, he managed to buy a car from one of his dad's friends. It was a pretty nice car for racing, and he got it fixed up to be race-ready. He started racing occasionally but kept his day job, since he didn't really earn much racing. In fact, racing was a net loss for him, since he was still reeling from the initial payment on the car, so he had to keep his day job to keep his bank account alive.<br><br>That was when Jason had told him about the house of racers. Adriano had opted in instantly, especially since he had known Jason from a former job a long time ago. He was hoping this would do good for his racing.<br><br><strong>Current Situation:</strong> Works most of the time, races when he can, and spends the rest of the time hanging out at the house or with housemates.<br><br><strong>Relationships:</strong><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Star Freyman</div><div class="spoiler_body">Adriano didn't know her until they became housemates, but he was at once both attracted to her and wary of her. HE was attracted to her fiery, passionate nature, which was much like his own, but also wary of her wilder and more reckless side. The mixture of the two feelings led to an interesting dynamic, with him both drawn to and away from her at once. Sometimes he just liked watched her when there was a race or party or other event, just to see what she would do next. Needless to say, she drew his attention.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Demi Etherson</div><div class="spoiler_body">Adriano probably knows Demi the least out of everyone in the house, but she seems like quite the party animal. Adriano himself isn't quite so much a partyer, even if he does enjoy it, so maybe between her and Clint he would actually end up going out more or something.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Juliana Dang</div><div class="spoiler_body">Adriano met Juliana at one of the first races he went to, and found out that she was also starting to get into the racing scene. The two became racing buddies, helping each other along while getting into racing. He's always found her attractive, but hasn't gotten to actually know her yet, as their relationship has only been about racing, until they became housemates. Now, he's starting to get to know her a little better.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Blake Richardson</div><div class="spoiler_body">Adriano hasn't gotten to know her well, but he feels like there's more to her than at first glance. She gives off a tough, quiet kind of vibe, but Adriano has the feeling that if he got to know her better, that he would think differently of her, so he tries to start up a conversation with her whenever he can.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Jason Sullivan</div><div class="spoiler_body">He's known Jason for a long time, since one of his former jobs, and has always gotten along with him. He's always been friendly, especially considering the characters of most people who get into street racing, which is why Adriano instantly agreed to join the house he was a part of. Having known each other longer than any other males in the house, they were a natural choice for roommates.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Clint Shaw</div><div class="spoiler_body">Adriano doesn't know Clint very well, but has appreciated him as a racer. He seems to be the type to like to party, far more than Adriano. Which he supposed was good, as that would mean would go out more. Adriano doesn't really understand the whole cowboy thing, though, he had to admit, instead he was rather confused by it. He didn't pretend to be part of the mafia, after all.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marcellus Smith</div><div class="spoiler_body">When Adriano was first getting into the racing scene, he met Marcellus around the post-race drinking. Which, he came to learn, was not an uncommon place to find Marcellus. Nonetheless, Marcellus had shown Adriano around the racing scene, letting him know of the various events going on, and it was from there that Adriano started to take racing seriously, even buying his own car. He was glad to live in a house with someone who definitely knew his way around the racing scene, especially since he was a latecomer to the scene, relatively speaking.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Mr. Muffles</div><div class="spoiler_body">Adriano can't really tell if Mr. Muffles is his long lost best friend or his most hated arch-nemesis. Most of the time, they just end up having a staring contest. But the look in those eyes was simply unclear, as to whether Mr. Muffles wanted to be best friends with him or tear him to shreds. He wouldn't put either past the cat. Maybe someday they will work out their differences.</div></div><br><strong>Car:</strong> 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300SL<br>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/ec/Adriano-300SL.jpg)

Tanks, light tops, shorts and sneakers dominate her wardrobe, with a small part of it dedicated to her work attire, which she'll rip off of herself almost as soon as she's done work. Fashion is not at the forefront of her mind when it comes to things to keep up on; she'd only go out of her way to visit the mall or an outlet store if someone makes her self-conscious about the fact that she might be a little behind the times or she has spilled wine on herself one too many times. Her hair is something of a pride piece. She'd never work on her car the same day as an important date or during the week so that she can be perfectly presentable publicly. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br><strong>Personality:</strong> A sweetheart is putting it simply for Juliana. Time spent on negative emotions is time wasted for her; she'll often just walk away from situations that are getting her down if it is at all possible. Her upbringing has shaped her into the person she is in that she always had someone there for her and she has promised herself that she will try and be that person to who she can, giving her a very 'give-and-give' mentality to life. She has no real dreams of big houses, families and lawns, instead loving the idea of being surrounded by the friends she has.<br><br>That's how she is with those she cares for, anyway. Almost as if there's a switch, Juliana can be rather cold toward people she doesn't know or care to know. At work she's rather blunt in order to get through her day to go home to her friends and car. Another aspect of Juliana that can bring out the bad side of her personality is when she or those she loves feels threatened. Anywhere, though especially races, where trash talk and empty threats are tossed around, Jules can get quite catty.<br><br><strong>History:</strong> Juliana grew up in Tampa, being raised by a young, single, Chinese father thanks to an equally young, American and hopefully now miserable mother. Her father was always full of love and praise for his little girl, giving everything he could to her up until she was ready to go out on her own. Life wasn't easy by any means and she understood that it was all thanks to her father that she got what she needed. It was a comfortable upbringing in one of the less extravagant neighbourhoods in Tampa but Juliana never once wished for anything different.<br><br>Having a rather liberal parent, the young Juliana was able to walk about the world and make and learn from her mistakes. There were the occasional seedy group of characters she associated herself with, the 'bad boy' boyfriend, the late nights spent at the wrong place at the wrong time but Juliana turned away from those things at the slightest hint of disapproval from her father. She was a little too honest with him at times but it never hurt their relationship. They remained fairly close up until Juliana finished high school and her father took the chance to work abroad to perhaps put his daughter through college. The decision was made easy for him to leave with her insisting that he go and enjoy himself for once.<br><br>Living alone (but hardly feeling abandoned) since she was eighteen, Juliana was in little rush to get her life in order. She rented out a small apartment, paid her bills with money left for her as well as cash from working in retail in the mall for a few years. It was in this time that she dipped her feet into the pool of random hobbies to keep herself occupied. There were a few constants in this time, such as keeping fit and going out to parties and clubs through less than reputable avenues. She dabbled in other things like knitting before street racing became a very real option for her. There was no real interest in cars or going at high speeds until she heard the sounds of it late at night. Occasionally, when she went out, there would be these guys loitering around by their expensive cars to get some attention and perhaps get lucky. At first it was all silly but one night she fancied one such guy and it was love at first race.<br><br>What started out as a fascination turned into a bit of an obsession. The rush, the feel, everything about going significantly faster than you should be going while leaving baffled traffic in your wake quite literally turned Juliana on. No, she wouldn't just go at herself whenever she was in a fast car but it piqued her interest more than any of her other silly hobbies. Juliana's journey in underground street racing began as eye-candy; she was one of those girls who just seemed to linger about at the start of races, looking a little dim-witted while her boyfriend talked about his car to anyone who looked mildly interested. She was one of those girls at first glance, anyway. The young woman often walked around and asked rather annoying questions herself, truly immersing herself into this new culture. Her first lesson was that it's not a cheap hobby by any means, so she started to save up and dedicate more of her time to working, which eventually turned into her picking up a teller role at a bank. As she went to more races, winning some, losing more, she became familiar with some of the faces in the circuit. As funds became tighter with more money being tossed into her car, there was very little reason for her to say no to the chance to live with a bunch of other amateur racers in the name of cost efficiency.<br><br><strong>Current Situation:</strong> Juliana has recently picked up a full-time position at the local Bank of America branch. It's hardly lucrative but it keeps her busy and helps pay for her new, expensive hobby. She thoroughly enjoys the fact that she is now living with several like-minded people and will do everything in her power to make sure that everyone is as happy about it as she is. <br><br><strong>Relationships:</strong><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Star Freyman</div><div class="spoiler_body">Star represents Juliana's 'in' amongst the team, along with Jason. <br><br>Juliana had always been fond of Star. They have never gotten very deep into their friendship just yet but given that they live in the same room at the same house, they're getting to know each other pretty quick. Juliana, at the very least, knows what not to do in order to keep her roommate happy about their living situation. Julie doesn't quite walk on egg shells around Star but she's seen the girl all riled up at least once or twice to know that she doesn't want to be at the center of it. </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Blake Richardson</div><div class="spoiler_body">Blake is something of an enigma to Juliana. They haven't really spent a whole lot of time together as their schedules usually conflicted, save for races or downtime at the house and even then they were never really alone together to strike up conversation. Given Star's judgement of character, as she was the one that invited Blake to live with them all, Juliana can only assume that the raven haired girl is pretty awesome.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Demi Etherson</div><div class="spoiler_body">Juliana hasn't really had the time to make a fair assessment of Demi. Her first impression of the younger woman was that she was absolutely stunning; someone who could really work a crowd if she truly desired. Given the glances that she gives some of the other housemates, she may have already done some work!</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Jason Sullivan</div><div class="spoiler_body">Jason represents Juliana's 'in' amongst the team, along with Star. She had noticed the two at a couple of races and admired their enthusiasm. They seemed more real to her than any of the other racers, which made the decision to talk to them every once in a while an easy one. Further down the road (no pun intended), they came to Juliana with the idea of living together in a house to make life a little bit easier financially as well pool their resources for racing. Another easy decision, as she was on her own in a tiny apartment.<br><br>To Julie, Jason seems to be one of those guys that means well but doesn't exactly know how to get there. Every situation seems black and white to him and he reacts with little care in the world or with the force of a great typhoon. If there was anything that she wanted to do for him, it would be calming his temperament. </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Adriano Guillermo</div><div class="spoiler_body">Adriano is another one of those characters she met at a race that intrigued her. They had met when Juliana was still fairly new to the racing scene when she was more of an observer than someone who took part. Finding Adriano more on the attractive side, Julie would sometimes find excuses to go talk to him, asking him dumb questions about his car when he started driving as well. Occasionally they would race each other, which ended poorly for the both of them but the two managed to laugh about it and bond. Soon enough, the two somehow managed to live in the same house together in the name of building a racing team. If neither of them are doing much of anything in the house, they always managed to find each other and hang out.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Clint Shaw</div><div class="spoiler_body">Clint is the cowboy and always will be the cowboy to Juliana. His accent makes her laugh no matter what he says. She first met him when he did some body work on her car, mostly because she was lazy, partly because she didn't want to get too dirty. As if it were destiny, the two moved in together in the team house not long after their first encounter, where Clint continues to help her out with her car should she need it.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marcellus Smith</div><div class="spoiler_body">Of all the housemates, Juliana has known Marcellus for a little while longer. He was something of a personal mechanic for her, visiting him at his uncle's shop exclusively if anything more than simple service was required. He was always a big goof to her, continuously dropping lines and compliments to her as he worked on her car or even that occasional coffee date. His advances were never anything she took seriously and there aren't any plans on changing that anytime soon. </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Mr. Muffles</div><div class="spoiler_body">Juliana's knight in shining armour when she's ever feeling down. He seems to have a sixth sense for that sort of thing and always manages to pop up right at that rare occasion that his best friend is mopey. Mr. Muffles is a cat.</div></div><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/pZMvfZD.jpg?1)</div><strong>Car:</strong> A Black, 1998 Acura Integra GSR Coupe.

He's a pretty cool cat.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br><strong>Personality:</strong> An affectionate little guy. Pretty much a suck for any sort of attention when he's in the mood, which is not very often but when it happens, watch out! More often than not he's just chilling here and there, finding his way into the garage or relaxing by the pool (but never in it). Hates the sound of engines, thunder and anything that's generally loud.<br><br><strong>History:</strong> Mr. Muffles came into this world with a number of siblings, boys and girls alike. For whatever reason, he wasn't picked up right away and had a rough kittenhood in the shelter where he was born. Shit deal, right? Well, one day, a half-Asian young woman came into the shelter looking for a buddy to help keep her apartment from being too empty. Mr. Muffles was totally into this chick and he had a sneaking suspicion that she liked him, too. So, on that same fateful day, Mr. Muffles had a new home.<br><br>Life was swell with this new lady. She was a little too clingy at times but it only meant that he was living the dream. As in he slept a lot. The two of them hung out in that stuffy little apartment for little over a year until they moved into some other place that was closer to the ground and had lots of room outside of it. Mr. Muffles thought that was pretty sweet because he got the chance to make birds and rats his bitches. Juliana didn't seem to like it too much but whatever, he felt like a king. There were a bunch of others like Juliana walking around the place now and actually stuck around, not like the occasional fella at the old apartment.

Former Military, USMC.<br><br><strong>Hobbies outside of racing:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;To be completely honest - its mostly been just drinking and fighting lately (he enjoys working with small electronics and playing the electric guitar - but hasn't picked either up in a while.) He is fairly sociable though, so he spends a lot of his off time participating with others in their favorite hobbies. He is also a bit of a fitness fiend - due to his past in the military. It's a stress reliever, and it keeps him out of trouble and from spending too much time dwelling on the past.<br><br><strong>Appearance/Style:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;He usually dresses fairly well. Every morning and evening it's athletic clothes - despite the majority of the military life that's washed away since he got out, working out often has stuck. Days he doesn't get to excercise he is usually abnormally irritable, though seldom - if ever - takes out his frustrations on others. During the majority of the day he usually wears loose fitting (but not baggy) clothing. It's comfortable and practical and fits his personality. He doesn't usually wear anything totally eye-catching like jewelry, bright colors, or exotic designs - but he doesn't dress totally plain either. Simply put: he dresses to fit the occasion, but not to stand out in it.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br><strong>Personality:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Generally he's very laid back and easy going. He's a gentle giant, and usually puts everyone else's interests before his own - particularly Star's. Occasionally he gets caught up re-living parts of his traumatic past, which he immediately attempts to silence with alcohol. More often than not, this tactic pays off and he relaxes and just goes with the flow, too intoxicated to notice anything but the present. Every once in a while though it backfires and it leads him into more serious depression or fighting. Those events aren't very common though, and even less common are his PTSD episodes. They get triggered randomly, it could be a word, a phrase, a sound, a sight - anything really that forms a direct link with his war experiences. The most devastating are the flashbacks of losing Chase - often causing him to get lost from reality for an hour or more. The others usually only last a moment, and sometimes go unnoticed by those around him.<br><br><strong>History:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Jason grew up with his best friend Chase, whose mom was never really around. They did everything together. They went to school together, they played together, they fought together, they basically figured out life together. Jason didn't really have any close friends besides Chase, because he didn't really need any. The two didn't spend every moment together, but the times that they did were always meaningful and memorable. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;After graduating high-school they both went immediately into the work-force, as Chase struggled to provide for his broken family. Jason tried to help out when he could, but eventually Chase determined that he was going to join the Marines. He'd send his money home to his sister, since everything else would be provided for him - and he'd eventually get to go to college someday. Jason was sharp when it came to electronics - just naturally gifted at figuring them out - but he didn't have the drive to both work and go to school full-time. So naturally joining the Marines with Chase sounded like the perfect plan to pursue his dream.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Both the young men were in the same unit together and deployed overseas to conflicts in the middle east multiple times during their four-year stint. On their last deployment, however, Chase didn't survive. Jason harbored much guilt and unwarranted responsibility for the death of his best friend. The traumatic experience also caused him to suffer from acute PTSD. He managed to finish his enlistment with an honorable discharge; but he never took advantage of the benefits it provided with the GI Bill for college. Instead he took on dead-end jobs, usually getting fired after several months - either from suffering a flashback or just slipping back into drinking or fighting that led to DUI's, long-hospital stays, and other events that caused him to simply miss too many work days to be worth keeping around.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; He was such a kind and caring guy, that his bosses were always reluctant to let him go - but had to make business decisions. Jason never took it personally. He always felt he deserved to be fired, he didn't feel like he deserved a good life anymore. In fact, he felt like he shouldn't even be alive. He always felt like Chase had taken the fall for him so many times, even ultimately with his life. When he's sober Jason usually commits all of his time to looking after Star, Chase's younger sister. He feels responsible for her, to be the big brother for her that Chase could no longer be. He wasn't controlling or annoying, but he obviously over-commits to her. Everybody knows it, but is too afraid to bring it up - it's beyond their realm of influence.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Aside from that, Jason also has taken up underground street racing. Chase was obsessed with it, and although Jason had tried it in the past with him when they were younger - they never could afford to be competitive. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Jason is a talented driver, but usually never participates out of his own joy. Mostly he does it in remembrance of Chase, and also to be more like him. Jason has seemed to lose his sense of self and appears to be wasting his life living another person's dreams instead of his own. It's begun to cause conflicts at times, and tension between himself and those around him... Honestly, others haven't brought it up yet because they feel pity for him, or they're afraid he might totally lose it and snap on them. Not that he'd ever intentionally harm any of them. Its the occasional acute flashbacks that cause him to temporarily lose his sense of reality and harm objects - and sometimes people - unintentionally. So far he's never hurt anyone close to him - and they still feel mostly safe when they're around him. Part of the reason for that is because he also very protective, and all of his close friends know his heart and how much he's willing to give up for them.<br><div class="floatleft">(http://static.cargurus.com/images/site/2008/02/06/14/32/1999_subaru_impreza-pic-9694.jpeg)</div><br><br><strong>Current Situation:</strong> <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Recently Jason and Star have started to get pretty serious about racing and have decided to pursue it with their close friends as a team. The whole group has agreed to rent a big house together and work their way to the top - even if it comes slowly at first. Everyone is chipping in for the rent on the house so they can utilize most of their funds for their hobbies - predominantly racing cars. The group is very close knit, almost more of a big family than anything else. They work together on the track, of course with some friendly competition among themselves.<br><br><strong>Car:</strong> 1999 Subaru WRX STI<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Aside from the driver-seat being on the right side of the car - its pretty much a sleeper. He's spent most of his cash upgrading the electronic and computer systems (what he's most familiar with working on - and what he's the most talented at). It has several major components that are no longer stock - but it's still got a very long way to go. Jason ended up buying it from a friend he made while stationed at Camp Foster in Okinawa, Japan with the 1st Air Wing. The guy had just upgraded to a new Skyline and sold it to Jason for much less than it was worth (since he'd done a couple of mods himself already). He almost paid as much to ship it to the states as he did for the car, he only uses it for racing or emergencies - and drives a trashed 81 Kawasaki motorcycle for work and saving gas.<br><br><br><strong>Relationships: (COMPLETE)</strong><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Star Freyman</div><div class="spoiler_body">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;During the last six months Jason has taken Star in under his wing - being the older brother that he feels he was responsible for her having lost. They have lived together in a small apartment as friends and almost siblings for several months before getting into the house with everyone else. Most of their hobbies and interests are different, besides racing - which they share because of Chase. That has been one way in which the two have gotten to connect a little and put aside the guilt from the past (or cover it up anyway). They enjoy talking about cars together and working on them together - when their schedules allow it. There is an odd tension between the two, and no one can really put their finger on what it is - whether it had to do with Chase or something more recent that the two haven't shared with the others.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Demi Etherson</div><div class="spoiler_body">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;He met Demi at Star's place of employment, the ice cream parlor near the crew's house. He stopped in frequently to visit with Star on her breaks, and sometimes pick her up or drop her off - so Demi was someone he was quite familiar with. They hadn't really ever spent a ton of time talking together one on one though. She did bring up the idea of him taking her out for a drink one night, and he obviously wasn't going to turn that opportunity down. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Jason wasn't the kind of guy to really sleep around - but he had drank quite a bit that night and his inhibitions had fluttered away. It resulted in sort of a drunk quickie in the backseat of his Subaru - which he wasn't particularly proud of. Not that he didn't find her attractive - he did. He just wished he'd left a better impression on her, showing a bit more restraint, or at least leaving her with a good sexual experience to remember. Unfortunately he hadn't been able to do either. Thankfully she didn't seem like the type of girl that wasn't open to second chances. He would make sure not to disappoint her if he got another chance.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Juliana Dang</div><div class="spoiler_body">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Jason gets along with 'Jules' mostly because she's so easy going and care-free. She's the one person that consistently manages to keep the man in good spirits despite the shadows that linger behind his eyes. She's a pleasant distraction from the daily grind of life, and she's always full of good advice. She's slowly been drawing Jason out of his traumatic past and helping him process the emotions - even though she doesn't yet know it, because they usually don't have any deep discussions together.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Blake Richardson</div><div class="spoiler_body">&nbsp; &nbsp; Jason and Blake actually ended up meeting at a local gym. Being one of the few guys that doesn't go there to stare at himself in a mirror or shop for women like it's a meat market - the two actually hit it off fairly well. They started showing up at the same times and working out with each other at the gym - until eventually they just started their own work-outs together away from the gym (and the annoying crowds). Usually they both go running in the morning and then also have some other form of cross-fit, martial-arts, or other type of evening training session together - though occasionally their schedules get in the way. They seem to have great chemistry together, and one of their late-night sessions even escalated to a spur-of-the-moment fling, though neither has pursued it beyond that chance happening. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Jason was slightly surprised to see Blake become one of the house's residents, but then they had often talked about cars and racing during workouts together, and she had been good friends with Star. Despite now living only a hallway apart, the two have managed to maintain the same friendly relationship and work out together just as often, if not more. Blake is easy for him to relate to, as she is quite similar to Star - who he's very close to; but without the baggage of the past and the heavy weight of their traumatic link. </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Adriano Guillermo</div><div class="spoiler_body">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Of the other three guys in the house, Jason has known Adriano the longest. Jason had worked with him in the past (one of the few jobs he didn't get fired from - he left for personal reasons that time, when he and Star moved in together and he was helping her deal with a few things. Jason and Adriano also both have very similar temperments - even though their personalities are pretty different. He's just a guy that Jason finds it easy to be around - they don't really ever get on each other's nerves. Of course, when everyone decided to move in together and people had to share rooms - Adriano was the natural choice for Jason.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Clint Shaw</div><div class="spoiler_body">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Clint gets a lot of respect from Jason for certain things. Mostly his work ethic and just how well he sticks to his guns. He's unshakable most of the time, and Jason admires that. He knows what he wants in life and he pursues it passionately. He's relatively shameless as well, never afraid of what people think - or at least that's how he appears to Jason. He likes working in the shop with Clint and sharing a few drinks, hearing his crazy stories from the past or getting deep into talking about football - which Jason is also a big fan of.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marcellus Smith</div><div class="spoiler_body">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Before everyone moved in together, Jason and Marcellus had never really even met before. Despite that, Jason does have some sort of brotherly gravitation towards Marcellus - who is slightly older than him. It could also be that he's pretty care-free and light hearted. He's a bit of a shit talker, but so far that's all mostly been directed towards Clint - since the two have come to develop a kind of friendly rivalry. Marcellus is also a bit of a drinker, so they definitely have that going for them - as Jason indulges quite often. Sometimes the two also work out together - or three of them, if Blake is around.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Mr. Muffles</div><div class="spoiler_body">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Jason has never been much of an pet owner - that's not to say that he doesn't enjoy animals. He's more of a dog person, but he's been open-minded with the Muff-man, and the two have gotten along just fine. Muffy likes to lay in the seat of Jason's car when he's working on it - so long as no one else is in the garage. That's mostly because Jason doesn't make a bunch of racket, and is usually working on things that are so much fun - lots of little colored strings that Mr. Muffles can swipe and pounce at - much to Jason's amusement or irritation (it's about a 50/50 split). </div></div>

If she's brought a drink or given one in front of a crowd then she won't turn it down.)<br><br><strong>Appearance/Style:</strong> Blake's tough-girl exterior certainly shines through with the way she looks in some aspects; her left arm is completely covered in tattoo's that stretch across her chest and down her side and left thigh, stopping just above her knee. She has a few piercings that are obvious to the naked eye like her flesh tunnels, second piercing on her ear and her tragus, along with other piercings that aren't so obvious like her tongue and navel. She likes the idea of looking feminine, so it is obvious that shes female in what she usually wears, but would secretly like to be able to suit things a little more feminine. On her abdomen, just to the right, is a small scar that has been rumored to be the wound of a fight she'd gotten into in her younger teen years, though really its from where she had her appendix removed when she was fifteen.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br><strong>Personality:</strong> Because of her background, Blake likes to put on a 'tough girl' front but it's only to hide her real personality. In reality, she likes girly things and is rather delicate but she would never show this to anyone. She can be quite sensitive to what other people say to or about her, but her facade would not allow her to get emotional in front of anyone. Instead, she would rather start a fight or argue back, even if she didn't think she would be able to win. Although petite, Blake can be stubborn, quite snappy and argumentative to most; her work colleges refer to her as a little firecracker. She finds it hard to make friends most of the time as she can be quite a complex character but once she gets them she's very fierce about sticking up for them. Blake's aggressiveness can be a hindrance to her in most situations as it causes her to be reckless and clouds her judgement. It also causes her to be blunt with her words, without much thought as to what the consequences of them would be. Overall, she's very sceptical of strangers and finds others kindness suspicious but once she befriends someone she's hooked for life. Ever since she was little, Blake as been sworn off relationships for fear it might turn sour like her mother and fathers. She also doesn't like the idea of someone seeing her insecurities by getting too close to her.<br><br><strong>History:</strong> Blake was born in the state of New Jersey, but her family moved down to South Carolina soon after her birth. Her upbringing wasn't the best; her and her 7 siblings had to practically fend for themselves. Between her alcoholic father and drug-addicted, bunny boiler mother, the kids had no chance. If it weren't for the older siblings growing up fast, some of them would have probably starved to death. Her three youngest siblings, a pair of boy twins and a slightly younger girl, was taken off them and fostered out as soon as the girl turned one. It wasn't unusual for them to be beaten occasionally, but the older ones always took the fall for the smaller kids. Blake will always remember the time that her oldest brother jumped in front of her when her father removed his belt to beat her. Her brother put up a good fight and argued with the man for ages but it only resulted in him taking her beating instead. One by one, her older brothers and sisters started moving out as soon as they could and when she was the oldest left, she took their places. Blake was the sixth oldest of the group. Another memory she would never forget is the time she stuck up for her little sister and her father actually ended up breaking a couple of her ribs after she retaliated back, giving him a hard slap. He shoved her so hard against the wall that it took her a while to catch her breath and realize where the pain was coming from. That instant happened when she was twelve and it wasn't the last.<br><br>As soon as she was eighteen, Blake moved to Florida to stay with a distant aunt until she could afford to live alone. She procured herself a job and began saving up money for a place to live. On her twentieth birthday, her aunt and uncle brought her a car and although it was beat up and rough, she loved it. Blake realized she loved cars from a young age and when she started driving in school, she loved it even more. It wasn't long before she moved out into her own apartment; it was only small and her bed was in her living room with an open plan kitchenette, the only other room being the old bathroom, but it completed its purpose and that's all she needed. Soon after moving to Florida, Blake secured a job at a restaurant and bar named 'Johnny's'. Her boss, along with the rest of the staff' were kind enough and she picked things up quickly.<br><br><strong>Current Situation:</strong> Blake has recently moved into the house of racers after being invited by Star. She still works full-time at Johnny's and manages to find time to practice her racing skills, work out and sleep. <br><br><strong>Car:</strong> A beat-up 1990 Nissan 300zx<br><div class="floatright">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/9/94/Blake-300ZX.jpg)</div><br><strong>Relationships:</strong><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Star Freyman</div><div class="spoiler_body">Blake met Star one evening Johnny's and to say the two butted heads was an understatement. Unfortunately for her, Star seemed to <em>enjoy</em> the tention between the two of them and continued to come into the bar. After around a week of the random visits and occasional arguments, Blake was closing the bar in the early hours of a Saturday morning. A small group of around three guys were still in the bar, completely drunk, along with Star who was in for one of her usual irritating visits and upon asking them all to leave because she was closing, the guys started causing trouble. They finally left, still angry and demanding drinks, and Star left as well without kicking up a fuss. After giving the place a once over, Blake left through the back into the employee car park where her car would be waiting for her. The first thing she saw was Star, then the metal pipe shattering her drivers side window being wielded by one of the drunks she'd kicked out of the bar. It took her a moment to register what was going on, but once she did, Blake lunged forward at them to wrestle the pipe away from them. Star happened to jump in and in minutes the drunks had left without much of a fight, though her window was still busted. That's when the two got to talking about cars and such, resulting in Star mentioning the house of armature racers. While Blake and Star do get on, they sometimes clash because of their similar personalities.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Demi Etherson</div><div class="spoiler_body">Blake didn't meet Demi before she'd moved into the house with her and somehow the two were paired together as roomies. She's a little jealous of her beautiful figure and her height, so can sometimes be snappy at her without much thought for the others feelings. In all seriousness, Blake seems to think she's quite cute and seems to enjoy her company; maybe Demi would leave a good, lasting impression on her. Blake doesn't know her very well at present, even though they share a bedroom, but would like to get to know Demi a little better in the future.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Juliana Dang</div><div class="spoiler_body">The two don't know much about each other and have only met since moving into the house together. Blake's first impression of Juliana was that she was very pretty and she loved her cat, Mr. Muffles; It was nice to have a pet around the house. Blake thinks it's a little strange at how much Juliana gets along with Star and that the two are rooming together, but she has yet to interact with Jules enough to see why they get on so well. She hopes they won't clash, with how different they are to each other, and hopes that she can learn a little more about Juliana without asking directly.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Jason Sullivan</div><div class="spoiler_body">Blake met Jason around a week after first encountering Star, while working out in the local gym. The two hit it off, despite Blake's difficult personality, and started meeting up regularly in the evenings to be work out partners. After a few weeks, things got a little too physical one late evening during a usual session and things only got steamier from there, leading into a one night stand. Although things were a little awkward after that, they both silently decided to put it behind them and forget about it, acting as if nothing had ever happened between them. Without realizing Jason was on of the racers at the home she'd been invited to by Star, Blake moved in with him and the two have acted the same ever since, remaining work out partners.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Adriano Guillermo</div><div class="spoiler_body">Blake had never met Adriano before seeing each other upon moving into the house. Her first impression of him was that he was tall, though everyone is compaired to her in all fairness, and rather attractive. She hasn't mentioned this to anyone else and doesn't treat him any differently though. </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Clint Shaw</div><div class="spoiler_body">Blake doesn't know Clint very well. She's only seen him in her bar a few times, picking up women left, right and centre. She wasn't surprised when he started hitting on her and then moving onto another woman after being rejected. Blake doesn't particularly like what he does and would rather not get involved with him; if only she had that choice. She was pretty apprehensive about him moving into the house, but decided she'd try and get along with him for the sake of the group. It just so happened that a couple of days after deciding that, she walked in on Clint fucking a random chick in the garage; to say she wasn't impressed was an understatement.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marcellus Smith</div><div class="spoiler_body">Blake has little knowledge of Marcellus. She's spotted him around Johnny's a few times in the evenings, but he's never caused any trouble which is usually the only thing that catches her attention in the bar. She likes the look of him and his car, even if she does think it's a little too pretty, but hasn't had much of a chance to speak to him much about anything yet so still doesn't have much of an impression of him.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Mr. Muffles</div><div class="spoiler_body">Blake adores Mr. Muffles but doesn't usually give this away in front of other people. However, if she's ever alone with the feline she tends to give him loads of fuss and attention.</div></div>

He is most often seen in black or white, tight fitting t-shirts and jeans or shorts depending on the weather. If the weather is good enough he will often go shirtless, showing off his many tattoos. Arguably his favorite is ‘Lo Collinus Tutoris,’ going down his right side, which means The Hill of the Guardian.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br><strong>Personality:</strong> Marcellus is a fun loving, grab-life-by-the-balls kind of guy. Confident and flirtatious, he wants to live every moment in life to the fullest regardless of what it is which often leads to minimal amounts of sleep. His love for sexy women, fast cars, and talking shit pointed him directly to the street racing lifestyle. The only thing that comes close to his love for racing is his love for drinking and telling racing stories. Marcellus, like everyone else, has his own demons that he battles with on a daily basis. His limited success is a step above that of his family in Miami but he struggles with helping them or investing in his passion to provide for them further. He feels the same way about anyone who has helped him along the way, get Marcellus out of a tricky situation and you’ve earned yourself a friend for life, or until the debt is paid.<br><br><strong>History:</strong> Marcellus was born and spent the early portion of his life in a less than affluent neighborhood in Miami Florida. As a child, gangs, drugs, money, and promiscuous women were an everyday thing. Once, he thought that gang life was cut out for him and decided to go and see a local dealer for work. Marcellus carried a bookbag full of weed from one neighborhood to the other and collected the money for the dealer. On his way back, he was jumped, beaten and robbed for the money. It took him three months to work off the debt that he owed the dealer and from that moment he decided two things. First he decided to leave the life of gangs and drugs alone. Second, he decided no one would ever easily beat him up and take his money so long as he had the activity of his limbs, that’s when he picked up Mixed Martial Arts. Marcellus got his first car at sixteen, a black 1985 Chevrolet S10 that did not run. He spent an entire summer getting it in working order by combining his uncles wisdom over the phone and hours searching the internet for instructions. When his family realized that he had an interest in cars, they sent Marcellus to spend time with his Uncle, working at his shop in Tampa to get him away from the gangs that roamed his neighborhood. Moving his sophomore year in high school was tough for Marcellus but he made it through, primarily by racing the kids who had stock Hondas and Toyotas with one or two upgrades who really didn’t have enough torque to beat the truck on the short drag races that they engaged in at night. On his 20th birthday, Marcellus’ truck a blew a tire while he was racing down the interstate. He ended up hitting the car he was racing and the guard rail, totalling the truck and leaving him without a license for five years. Those five years, Marcellus worked in his Uncle’s shop and saved money to get into the local community college. Instead of racing, he spent most of his time in Mixed Martial Arts. While he was moderately successful, his heart was not truly in fighting. Nobody wanted to fuck a guy whose face was swollen after a fight, no matter how exciting the knockout was. Once he got his license back, he purchased a ‘99 Honda Prelude with the full intention of getting back into lower level racing. Eventually, he would like to get into sanctioned drag racing as a way to set up a legitimate income. <br><br><strong>Current Situation:</strong> Marcellus has a very busy schedule as he tries to balance school, work, and his racing lifestyle. Ultimately, he would like to finish school but his family in Miami is pressuring him to help to keep the lights on for his mother and grandmother. He looks at racing as a way to help them since they had the foresight to get him out of Miami.<br><br><strong>Car:</strong> 1999 Honda Prelude Type SH<br><br>(http://static.cargurus.com/images/site/2010/01/25/20/36/2000_honda_prelude_2_dr_type_sh_coupe-pic-1486631813047411276.jpeg)<br><br><strong>Relationships: (Completed)</strong><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Star Freyman</div><div class="spoiler_body">Marcellus loves Star, not as a sister, but more like one of the guys. When Marcellus and Star go out together it's a guaranteed good time. One night out, Star helped Marcellus to pick up this girl, that had been ignoring him all night, who would have known that Demi would move in with them, and from that point on, their odd relationship was confirmed. He see's Star as adventurous and some what of an enabler so if he knows something is probably a bad idea, he goes to her super excited about it and, normally, she's down for it.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Demi Etherson</div><div class="spoiler_body">Demi is the one girl in the house that Marcellus has had in bed and is responsible, unknowingly, for facilitating the growth of he and Star's relationship. Although he doesn't know a lot about her history he does know that she's fun loving and free and that's what he likes about her, apart from the sex. He hadn't heard much from her since that hooked up but is interested in what she has been doing with her life and even more interested in working on her car.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Juliana Dang</div><div class="spoiler_body"> Juliana is the person in the house that Marcellus has known the longest. He has worked on her car a bunch of times, often for a reduced price. He thinks Jules is gorgeous and has no problem letting her know how he feels but it there has never been anything serious between them, partially because of the lifestyles that they live and partially because she never really took him seriously. </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Blake Richardson</div><div class="spoiler_body">Marcellus has pretty limited knowledge about Blake except that she is the pretty bartender that works at Johnny's. He's always been interested in her tattoos but normally Johnny's is way too busy for him to take the time out to ask her about her tattoos. Marcellus is also excited about the potential opportunity to do some work on her 300zx.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Jason Sullivan</div><div class="spoiler_body">&nbsp; Marcellus doesn’t really know a lot about Jason although he is excited about the prospect of having someone to spar with, especially since Jason is ex-military. Secretly, Marcellus worries about Jason in a brotherly sense. Anytime he’s around Jason he tries to get him to loosen up and have fun which often times involves a bottle of Jack Daniels.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Adriano Guillermo</div><div class="spoiler_body">Marcellus met Adriano after a race one night. Although the race was pretty low on the Tampa totem pole, Marcellus was proud of his win and happy to explain everything that went on to Adriano who was, in Marcellus' opinion, clueless to how the whole Tampa race scene went. Marcellus was more than happy to introduce him to the Tampa race scene. </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Clint Shaw</div><div class="spoiler_body">Marcellus met Clint at his Uncle’s shop. At first, Marcellus was confused and amused by the small town Cowboy entering Tampa’s more fast pace lifestyle. Clint did serve a purpose though since he proved to be better with body work than Marcellus was. Oddly enough, the two seemed to hit it off pretty well over a few beers and developed a bit of a friendly rivalry based around the two different drivetrains they used. Secretly, Clint is currently Marcellus’ favorite roommate and he would go above and beyond to help him.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Mr. Muffles</div><div class="spoiler_body">Marcellus hates cats but he tolerates Mr. Muffles because his owner is cute.</div></div>

She's always looking for a good time and it's like she can't help herself. If you ask her to party she will go, no questions asked. Also lacks good judgement and will mouth off to the wrong people. If she gets angry she can turn into a human sized yappy chihuahua. Demi has a very addictive personality and sometimes can border on a bit of OCD, one telling tale is her need to wash her hands about 20-30 times a day and constantly check her cell phone for messages (even though it'll vibrate and/or ring if one comes in.)<br><br><strong>History:</strong> Demi's father spoiled her when she was little, she was daddy's little princess and spoiled rotten.<br><br>Unfortunately, Daddy was a major movie producer and parties in the household were run of the day. She drove expensive sports cars as a teen and lived in Beverly Hills where hobnobbing with the rich and famous was an everyday occurrence. <br><br>It was all life in mansions, trips around the world, Spanish villas, tutoring, private dance lessons, she even got her first taste of driving at age sixteen when she learned how to drive a race Car for a celebrity charity race alongside people like Tom Cruise. The race car lessons were only a handful and the event was nothing but pure fun but she learned to love driving at that point in time. <br><br>This lifestyle led the easily influenced young party girl to snorting up cocaine like it was oxygen. No help arrived for her though, Daddy died of a stroke and all his wealth went to the stepmother who promptly kicked Demi out of the house. Not a problem for this resourceful teen, she shacked up with the nearest old rich dude she could find and continued to live the party life. Then her new surrogate daddy got put in a seniors home by his family and she was again homeless. The family had found out about her sponging up the cash and didn't much like that their daddy was bedding a teen gold digger.<br><br>By this time though she knew all the right people and parties. Everyone loved a party girl, especially a fresh 18 year old attractive one that was desperate for money. It's hard to say when it first happened. Demi just started waking up in the mornings with a purse full of cash and the scent of sex all over her. Like a zombie she just went from party to party for most of the next couple years selling herself to support her expensive habit and partying her brains out.<br><br>On her 20th birthday she woke up in her new/used car (the Mitsubishi 3000GT V4 that some rich guy had given her) and she was parked under a freeway on the wrong side of South Central LA. It took another year to straighten herself out, she got back into athletic running but continued to work as a high-end escort and support the ever present party girl lifestyle. Then came a day that she wanted a fresh start and drove across country to find it. <br><br><strong>Current Situation:</strong> Demi doesn't talk about her past too much unless she gets to talking with someone that has had some similar history. Or when she's bored as shit working behind a counter in an Ice Cream Parlor... Star knows the whole sorted tale now. It's not that they are good friends or anything but when you're at work and you got nothing better to do you find ways to entertain yourself. <br><br>Demi was living in her car and working at the ice cream parlor with Star while all her money went into the money pit she calls El Diablo. She only recently got into street racing for fun and for the after parties. Alright, mostly for the after parties.<br><br><strong>Relationships: (Completed)</strong> Demi loves everyone <strong>♥</strong><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Adriano Guillermo</div><div class="spoiler_body">Don't know him, just met him when I moved in. I hear he loves to get tossed and break open the karaoke, sounds like a real blast to hang with.&nbsp; </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Blake Richardson</div><div class="spoiler_body">My roomie! We only just met in the last week but I know I'm going to love her already!&nbsp; </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Clint Shaw</div><div class="spoiler_body"> Met him at the Ice Cream Parlor a couple times and they went out a couple times alone together. She got to know him over breakfast the next day. <em>*winks*</em> Not a lot of talking happened the night before if you know what I mean, wink wink nudge nudge! Score 8/10, not drunk and total swinger.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Jason Sullivan</div><div class="spoiler_body">Another total babe, she met him a few weeks or something ago. He was good enough to pick her up after work and take her out for drinks. Well, one thing led to another and after some awkward moments trying to get their clothes off the smexy timez happened. He scored a 6/10 because, well, drunk sex is always a bit awkward - especially in a car.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Juliana Dang</div><div class="spoiler_body">Totally just met her but she's got this super adorable cat, Mr Muffles &lt;3 </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marcellus Smith</div><div class="spoiler_body">Don't really know him well but he's really cute and one night Star introduced us. So we took a tumble together and it's all good. He's got a great bod, I give him an 6/10 but he was most likely drunk and it was really late at night.&nbsp; </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Star Freyman</div><div class="spoiler_body">She's that pink haired girl from the ice cream parlor with all the tats that Demi has spilled her life story too. Together they are the founding members of the Ice Cream Club (ICC), there's only one rule with ICC, we don't talk about ICC.&nbsp; :P Alright so let's talk about ICC, it's really just the name that Demi gives it. Basically it boils down to the fact that Star is smoking hot and Demi wants her body, so they like to get together and make out in the store when they are bored or want to get a rise out of the customers. It's all good fun. Great kisser, she gets an 8/10 </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Mr. Muffles</div><div class="spoiler_body">Demi secretly wants to marry, Mr Muffles. He's like the perfect boy - cuddly, affectionate, but not to clingy and gives her her space. Now if only she could find a way to get that harlot "Jules" out of the way so Demi could have Mr Muffles all to herself.&nbsp; Score: 10/10, perfect man. </div></div><br><div class="floatleft">(http://px6.streetfire.net/0001/82/40/1402804_600.jpg)</div><br><strong>Car:</strong> "El Diablo" <br>1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4, <br>0-60 mph 4.7s, Quarter mile 13.4s, <br>330 hp, AWD.<br>

Although she can be very chatty and a little scatter brained when she gets on a rolling rant, especially when it comes to Bikes and Clothing. She comes off as being quite docile but when she's not concerned and self conscious&nbsp; about herself, she can be quite focused and determined in whatever she does. <br><br><strong>History:</strong> Naomi Silver had always had a spark for clothing and art, ever since she was a girl. Growing up and reality kicking her in the ass at each turn, she realized life wasn't as simple as television or movies seemed to dictate. Not having a lot of money and lucky enough to score a job as a store clerk she had purchased a small motorcycle to get her around, cheap and fairly cost effective she came to love riding a motorcycle.<br>But even that idea seemed to be short lived, as Naomi months later discovered that there are great dangers in being a motorcyclist. Narrowly escaping death in a car accident she had decided it was time for a car, of course she hadn't a lot of money. Selling her bike she took out a loan from the bank to afford anything she could get, however since she was in for a penny when it came to a loan she thought "why not go all out". Deciding to purchase a nice small sporty car, a 2002 Mazda Rx - 8. She wasn't accustomed to racing, spending her weekday night practising high speeds and various types of cornering. So much so she feels she could be a good racer, being swept up in the speed and the excitement. Deciding she wants to race, goes out and finds a way...<br><br><strong>Current Situation:</strong> Naomi is looking for ways she can prove she's ready to race BY racing, any money involved would simply be a onus to paying off her debt.<br><br><strong>Car: </strong>Mazda RX - 8 2002, Silver.<br><div class="floatleft">(http://i1344.photobucket.com/albums/p649/VioletSlave69/RX8_zpsf6de90d4.jpg) (http://s1344.photobucket.com/user/VioletSlave69/media/RX8_zpsf6de90d4.jpg.html)</div><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><strong>Relationships:</strong> (Constructing)<br>
