Height: 5'5

Weight: 121 lbs.

Hobbies: Hanging out with her friends. Running charities. Shopping, Going to the movies.

Personality: Appears yet cheerful and easy going. Proving at times to be self confident. However, she can switch that to feeling easily emotional to the point of lashing out or running off in tears.

Psychological Issue: Anxiety Disorder

General Upbringing/Brief Intro: She lives in a nice midsize house with two well off parents as her mom Kimberly works as a nurse at the local Mayhaven Hospital and her dad works as a traveling salesman. Though pretty much through her early high school years. The two have been changing on terms of being neutral and then more so at each others throats. Dad possibly cheating? That's what mom claims and now she's either drinking wine to calm her nerves or possibly popping pills. Ashley looks more like her mother and reminded from her on seeing older photos of her mom. ------ Upon this venture in life. Working with doing a babysitting job, or tending to her cashier/usher job at the movie theaters. She had been the one to start a group called the Converse Group. It was from having friends that also had strong emotional issues. Needing that one person to vent to or feel like they were talking to a psychologist. She put things together and ended up creating a core group of ones that needed to feel everyday was worth existing. Being on the brink of feeling lost. This group would be there for one another. Lean their hard pressed issues and be a second family to one another. Even if the group itself was pretty out there in terms of dealing with differences in difficulty. ---- Learning quickly how over the years she had been dropped from mid popular core after falling into things from influences on her family and the peer pressures of life. Making her drop out of cheerleading and then ultimately forming this group of misfits. Being a shell of her former self.

Psychological Issue: High Depression.

General Upbringing/Brief Intro: Jordyn grew up pretty much on the wrong part of life as most would delicately state. Living within the K Apartment complex and was part of that school known as Armstead High School. More of a hard knox school that she really never talks about. Transferring over to Mayhaven High School from her moms influence of wanting her to go somewhere somewhat better. Being a bit distant with others, but also a disruption in class. She eventually met with Ashley by being forced to be a lab partner with her in a science class. At first it was that typical high school cheerleader meets outsider. It seemed Ashley was very easy in accepting into conversation and ignored the friends she was once a part of just to be helpful to others. Being then drawn into some formed group created from the cheerleader on others like Talia, and some others she briefly got to know more over the course of the years heading into senior year. She doesn't tend to like to go into talking about her life. Keeping it like a locked journal and only briefly gives small prints of things every so often.

[Aluora]

Name: Talia Batini

Nickname: Tali

Age: 17

Height: 5'5

Weight: 115

Hobbies: Talk Radio, Podcasts, Parties/Clubs/Raves, Music, Movies, Chess.

Personality: Very assertive in all aspects. Talia tends to be sarcastic, uncaring, and condescending in most interactions with her...although she can show flashes of genuine friendship. She is also very foul mouthed and often making sexual references/innuendos to those around her.

Phycological Issues: Emotional Detachment, BPD (Promiscuity & Reckless Sex) and Phonophopia (Siren Sounds).

General Upbringing: Talia watched her parents quickly fall out of love when she was a child. It started off small with the occasional arguments but the hate started to grow stronger and stronger. Soon, those arguments became screaming matches, followed by physical altercations. Both her mom and dad contributed to the violence and hate, leaving Talia alone in her room as she cried herself to sleep. Police sirens would constantly wake her up as they often arrived at her home. Eventually, her parents split, but court battles constantly waged on. Talia became a pawn in each parent's vendetta against each...her well being an afterthought as they continuously tried to win custody and display Talia as a trophy to the other parent. All she wanted was love and attention...which never came to her.

This has led Talia to where she is now, as her high school years have slowly led her toward a slow self destruction. She originally grouped up with Ashley and Jordyn, but her behavior started to become more erratic and volatile. Soon, she was at constant odds with Ashley...walking the edge of expulsion from the Converse group. If it was not for Jordyn, she would probably have been kicked out. Talia has a hard time connecting to anyone on an emotional level. She thinks love and relationships are pointless endeavors...her parents behavior leaving an irreversible scar on her mind. Talia still craves attention...which is easy to to get from the boys in her school. She became very sexually active, mixed with borderline alcoholism, helping fill the void she constantly needs. Surprisingly, she has not ended up accidentally getting pregnant with her risky behavior...something she would never want. This was another reason she was at odds with Ashley. She was constantly flirting with Ashley's crushes, trying to make her see Talia's point. Thankfully, she holds a strong bond with Jordyn. Despite her abrasive behavior, Talia does find fleeting comfort in the Converse group, even as she remains in the verge of being banned.

[NicholsTopaz]

Name: Daphne Callaghan

Nick name: Daph, her teammates and coaches call her "Callaghan"

Age: 17

Height: 5'6

Weight: 119

Hobbies: Playing basketball or tennis, photography, attending concerts, learning piano and guitar, being out in nature

Personality: Daphne is the quietly strong type, a natural leader but she doesn't want or embrace the role. She is a loyal and trustworthy friend, but she is very hard to get close to, as she tends to push people away when they start to get close. Always friendly, she has the feistiness stereotypically associated with redheads. She has a sarcastic sense of humor and uses it as a defense mechanism, occasionally crossing a line with it. She outwardly hides the inner turmoil that she feels. But those closest to her know she has inner demons. She is deathly afraid of spiders and bodies of water.

Psychological Issue: PTSD causing night terrors and aquaphobia from a mysterious incident that happened when she was young that caused her twin brothers death that she refuses to talk about.

General Upbringing/Brief Intro: Daphne was born a twin, but her twin brother tragically drowned when they were playing in the pool together as 6 year olds. She was raised in a big family with 3 older brothers in an upper middle class setting. She identifies as female, but became something of a tomboy along the way, enjoying helping her dad with projects and playing with her brothers, especially basketball. But her family always tried to pigeonhole her into society's idea of girly things that didn't always appeal to her. For instance, when her brothers went as Lakers players for Halloween one year, they tried to get her to go as a Lakers girl, but she wanted to be a player, too. She turned on them at 13 when she overheard her father telling his friends that Daphne is like a fourth son. Being categorized as a "son" because of her interests hurt her immensely as she had always felt feminine and thought she was special being his only daughter. From that point forward, she started keeping to herself. Her family is supportive of her but there is a disconnect. She is the star player and captain on the girls basketball team, having become better than any of her brothers. The game is her passion, but she despises the attention and popularity being a high profile player brings her. She rarely celebrates her accomplishments and hates the cheers of the crowd, preferring to quickly get dressed and leave after games, and dismisses any compliments she gets. She sees the Converse group as a chance to escape from all of it, where she might be accepted for who she is rather than what she does.

[JayM1125]

Name: Jason Matthews

Nickname: Jase

Age: 17

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 215lbs

Hobbies: Music (plays guitar, been learning drums), video games, skateboarding, staying in shape, comic books, watching movies and TV, professional wrestling, history, anything nerd culture.

Personality: Often reserved and quiet but once he's warmed up to someone he can talk their ear off about...well....anything. He's typically more comfortable around girls given his upbringing, but never shies away from maybe being a bit playful or flirtatious with his female friends. That might've gotten him in some trouble a time or two. Somewhat confident, loyal, honest (being careful not to be too brutally honest), caring, sympathetic, protective of his friends, always willing to give the shirt off of his back if needed to a friend in need.

Psychological Issue(s): Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Learning disabilities (has to be in specialized classes due to his ADHD and other emotional issues), depression, anxiety, can have some suicidal tendencies (been going to therapy for it due to other emotional trauma), slightly agoraphobic (has a hard time being in overly crowded areas).

General Upbringing/Brief Intro: Jason had been raised by a single mother (Samantha Foster, became Samantha Matthews after marrying her high school sweetheart) for the majority of his life. He'd known his father (Peter Matthews) but only saw him a handful of times in his life due to his father being deployed overseas. His parents had him young as his late father enlisted in the U.S. Army to help with the financial burden of getting his girlfriend (Jason's mom) pregnant at 17. His dad eventually died in the line of duty when Jason was only 6 years old.

Since the passing of his father, Jason's mother had been in a string of abusive relationships. Samantha's last relationship had gotten so bad that she had to be hospitalized after a drunken assault from her so-called boyfriend at the time. A 13 year old Jason tried to defend his mother and ended up being viciously attacked and injured as well. That boyfriend is now spending an extend prison sentence for his actions, which also led to Jason and Samantha moving several states over, finding a home in Mayhaven.

Because of that, Jason has had very few male friends in his life, because he often found himself nervous around other guys because of the beating he'd recieved by that one ex-boyfriend of his mom's. Samantha still blames herself to this day, but she and Jason are still going to therapy to work through the trauma they endured. Jason found some solace in his therapist, Dr. Andrew Lewis, and had even taken some his advice and found himself a tight-knit group of friends, the Converse Group. He even has managed to find himself one close guy best friend outside of the group in Eric Lewis, who is ironically enough, the son of Jason's therapist.

Jason is very protective of his fellow Converse Group, even going as far as to make sure Eric never got a date with any of his friends. Jason knew Eric was a bit of a player, and Jason wanted to spare his friends from having to deal with it, but he could only do so much. Sure, he might've found himself genuinely attracted to some of the girls in the group...which is what had gotten him in trouble a couple of times in the past, especially since he'd lost his virginity to one of his friends. All in all, Jason is the type of guy who cares deeply for those he's closest to.

----------------------NPCs (Free for anyone to use)-----------------------------

Name: Eric "Ric" Lewis

Age: 17

Height/Weight: 5'9" / 175lbs.

Brief Bio: He is Jason's best friend and son of Jason's therapist. Jason and Ric ended up randomly meeting in class one day in freshman year because of their shared love of professional wrestling amongst other interests. The two became close and it was later discovered that Jason was a patient of his dad's. Even though there's a doctor/patient confidentiality agreement preventing Ric's dad from talking to him about Jason, Jason often tells his best friend everything that he's dealing with, everything he went through, and finally anything on his mind. There are no secrets between

 

[xavierrol]

Withdrawn

Name: Xavier Rollins

Nick name: X

Age: 18

Height: 6' 1"

Weight: 190 lbs

Hobbies: scouting (camping/kayaking), hanging out with friends, basketball (for fun not on the team), girls. track and cross country.

Personality: Friendly and easy going among his friends, anxious and volatile among strangers and outsiders. Most of his friends know how to talk him down from his potentially violent outbursts. Some kids still taunt him but most are cautious of pushing him too far.

Psychological Issue: Intermittent Explosive Disorder, generally struggles with authority and prejudice.

General Upbringing/Brief Intro: Xavier's mother died of a drug overdose at 8 months and he barely survived. He never knew his father and was fortunate to end up with his maternal grandparents. His grandmother was from an old Mayhaven family tracing back to the founding of the town. She died when he was six and then it was just him and his grandfather who was a something of an outsider himself despite being married nearly 30 years and living in the town. He did however take his grandson camping and kayaking and enrolled him in the local scouting group, which didn't do much to put him in the in crowd either. In Junior High he punched a basketball couch and that snuffed his chances at making it in basketball or pretty much any other organized sport. He is arguing with his grandfather about joining the Marines when he graduates from high school.

He is grateful for his friends in the Converse group, though he worries he might one day hurt one of them with his outbursts. To compensate he generally treats them with kid gloves and is protective of them, especially the girls. He has become rather obsessed with them but is afraid to act upon those feelings.

NPC Faculty Member

Nicholas Saunders
Age: 54
Subjects: World History, Civics, Life Skills
Bio: Nicholas is one of the more approachable teachers at the high school. He is often at odds with Principal Miller over discipline and code of conduct, so students often come to him with their school/life problems outside of the normal channels of guidance counselors and principal. He knows that is a dangerous role to play, but is often too emotionally invested in his students.

 

[CasualVelociraptor]

Name: Danielle Parsons

Nickname: "Dani"

Age: 17

Height: 5'6"

Weight: 120

Hobbies: Video games, writing, historical research, guitar and trumpet (formerly), online chat forums, TV, books

Personality: Very shy and reserved in large groups, with a lot of nerdy special interests and autistic habits that make her (formerly him and Daniel) very afraid to approach people sometimes for fear. She used to be part of the Converse Group, but doesn't know how they'll react to everything

Psychological Issue: Autism, OCD, gender dysphoria

General Upbringing/Brief Intro: The Parsons family are a well-off family overall. Dani has one older sibling who's off at college, her mom is a tech consultant, and her dad is a very reserved creative writing professor who nurtured his young son's passions.

Well, was. Until Danielle revealed herself from under the pile of baggy clothing that used to be Daniel when she was 16, after realizing while having pathetic schoolgirl from afar crushes on Jordyn, Talia, andeven Jason there for a minute that she was not straight. Then her dad couldn't take it anymore and tried to medically force her to stop her hunger strike, made in an attempt to be a thin girl. That led her mom to do her routine that she had when Dani had been diagnosed with autism: separate from Mr. Parsons, pull her out of school for a year and get her homeschooling, buy her an Xbox Series X, and get her doctor's appointments to shove the problem away from direct conversation, just like the autism diagnosis, until she could socially transition and her mom could pretend to have been understanding all along.

But during the COVID pandemic, Dani and her mother's relationship was driven to the breaking point. She decided to emancipate herself and live with a first boyfriend named Oliver who seems to treasure her one moment, then hog her Xbox and dismiss her the next. Her mom met and married a nice Mexican man named Enrique who traveled the world taking photographs, and who is trying to bridge their worlds with Spanish guitar lessons and statements like:

"Danielle, the world is my home. I have seen the most beautiful places. Where everyone is welcome. Together, we can explore the wonders of Mexico. Experience true freedom on the road. Feel ALIVE. Let's go together as friends and family. You may ask, 'Are we ready for what happens next?' And I get that. My daughter, one thing I have learned is to...jump into the horizon, and enjoy the ride."

That talk alone encouraged Dani to get back in touch with Ashley and Jordyn and arrange a meet-up for as many of the group members as possible.
