forever an outcast

[chase reed]

Chase is the new kid....again. He's been through plenty of schools, but this is his last chance. if this school doesn't work out then he has to go to a reform school, and he definitely doesn't want to end up there.

he's a nice kid once you befriend him, and get to know him, you just have to get past that hard shell he has. and having friends would really help him to make an effort to stay here.

He is good about giving people chances, if they deserve them; if you disrespect him in anyway, then he'll kick your ass. but the way he see's it is, he's just as nice to you, as you are to him. which is probably the reason he didn't have an friends.

he's slept his way through many girls bed, but never found himself someone to stick with. not that he wouldn't enjoy that, there just hasn't been someone that could calm him down.

that's what he needed, someone that could keep him from fighting. then he would be able to make it through school, without any trouble.

his enemies came in plenty. his answer to everything is to swing if it fits the situation. he had accumulated plenty of enemies over the years, but he hoped he could finally start over and not make enemies here, but who new what this new school had instore for him....


<3he's free for any sort of plotting, just hit him up(:

Hi there! Welcome! I'm Katja... and I have characters to offer you.

First up is Neil Balcombe. He's nineteen and attending university at the Académie. He's a responsible, fairly single-minded fellow. While he used to be a bit of a troublemaker and daredevil, he now tends to be quite cautious. The reason for this is his young daughter, Peyton, who he took sole care of when her mother (after giving birth upon his insistence when she wished to have an abortion) walked out on them both. He's just a bit jaded from this, and occasionally acts more like an old man than a teenager, but he tends to be a fun-loving fellow. He loves to laugh and is generally happy, so long as Peyton is safe and also happy.

Next would be Lucas Murray. He is eighteen and in his final year of secondary. His family moved to France not long ago after he was signed as a model. With twelve children, the youngest of which is only four now, it was too difficult for his mother to travel back and forth with him, and his parents didn't want him going off alone. So, they packed up the family and moved. As it was, they were all in need of a change anyway after the death of Lucas's twin. His oldest siblings stayed in America, where he grew up, but the rest of them moved. Luc, overall, is rather broody and errs toward the side of ridiculous responsibility. In addition to being very studious and rather introverted, prone to have his nose in a book at any given moment, he takes the well-being and happiness of his family to be his responsibility. He would bend over backwards, so to speak, in order to make them happy once more. As it is, he is barely able to hold them together. He is not very expressive with his emotions, tending to remain withdrawn. He can be irritable at times, and will occasionally express this, but is an overall pleasant fellow, simply quiet and very reserved.

Julianna Sellenger is another of mine, but I will spare your dear boy any interaction with her depressing person.

Alexia Kingston is twenty-one and attending university. She was very responsible as a child, having been forced to take care of her mother during this time. Her father was never very present in her life, but disappeared altogether when she was five. Her mother was incredibly irresponsible, preferring to follow her whims rather than take care of her daughter or hold a steady job. Alexia, in some ways, became the adult figure at an early age. After meeting her best friend when she was thirteen, she began to open up more, learn to have fun and such. When she was sixteen, she was diagnosed with lung cancer. She spent the next two years in and out of hospitals, convinced that she was going to die. Of course, she didn't, and ended up deciding that life was too short to waste it away being cautious. She came up with a "bucket list", and makes a point of taking one item off the list every day. (She adds items as well.) She moved from England to France for uni after a trip there with her best friend. Now, she remains quite adventurous and spontaneous. She loves to have fun and smile. However, she tries to keep herself distant from others, at least emotionally, in case she should come out of remission. Her greatest fear is dying and leaving someone she loves in pain.

Next is Ewan Colbourne. He is twenty-five and works as a butcher in St. Michel. He moved there recently after falling in love with the town on a business trip for his father. His wife died only about a year ago, leaving him a very young widow. He has always been a quiet, inquisitive fellow, but can be very fun at times as well. Alternately, he is also a bit cynical and jaded, depending on his mood. He became extremely reserved after Camilla's death, as he spent the second half of his life (with his father, after moving from his mother's house in a nearby town on his own choice and their approval) in a rather small town. He couldn't stand the pressure of everyone watching him and pitying him. Now, however, he is coming more out of his shell once more, being that inquisitive, kind-hearted fellow he always has been.

Next would be Eva here, who is just sixteen years old and a very playful, fun-loving young lady. She enjoys getting into all sorts of mischief and asks many questions, so as to learn as much as she possibly can. She has a love for music and greatly enjoys sharing her talent with others. She also absolutely adores making friends and will gladly introduce herself to just about anyone and take them on as a good friend... sometimes whether they like it or not!

Finally, I have Clovis D'Aubigne, an outgoing and optimistic twenty-two year old and son of a (formerly) famous concert pianist. His father died when he was a boy, leaving Clo essentially as the head of his family, as his eldest brother left home when Clovis was only six. Though responsible in his own way, Clovis prefers to go with the flow. Among his favourite activities is rapping on street corners for money. However, it's not the money that means so much to him, but the act of rapping itself. He has always loved music, particularly singing, but branched out in his preteens toward rapping and has loved it ever since. Not long after he acquired this skill, he found himself on the wrong side of a group of angry boys, who left him badly beaten. He suffered a severe spine injury that left him paralysed from the waist down. Though it was difficult for him initially, it's not really even strange for him anymore. He lives his life, and he loves his life. That's really all there is to it.

Let me know what you think. I know, there are many to choose from. I think Eva would befriend him, if he'd let her... she'd show him the cool spots around St. Michel and give him loads of soda... because soda is always good.

hey katja!
wow(: that's a lot of characters to handel(: i'm in awe.
i think they all sound great! and i think that Eva would be a good friend, she's closer to him in age and more like him. the other guys seem a little to good for him, but maybe that's what he needs to get his act together!(:

i'm not very good at plotting, i'm quite new to this, but it'd be awesome if Chase had some friends!(:

[eva garnet]

Well, if you think of anything, let me know.

[chase reed]

i'd love to start a thread between Chase and Eva, or Neil or Lucas. if your down. he could be wandering around, trying to learn his way around and the get lost and one of them could help him? and the friendship could just blossom from that. if we do eva i could see him even starting to fall for her at some point. i don't know if she single or not, but that really wouldn't matter to him.

[eva garnet]

I don't know if I can really devote time to another thread currently. I'm quite busy and already juggling a lot of other threads. I might be able to manage a phone or im thread for now. We could assume that they had met in the aforementioned way and are casual friends or acquaintances. if you would like. Or, we can just wait until I am less busy... whenever that may be.

[chase reed]

(: either one works for me, you name it, if you're too busy, we can always wait and try later(:

[eva garnet]

Whatever you prefer. If you would like to start something for them, feel free.
