Full Name: Christian Seth Ellis. Nickname: Christian. Age: 18 years. Gender: Cismale. Pronouns: He/Him/His. Orientation: Bisexual. Nationality: Half-French, half-English (British). Appearance:
FC unknown. Personality: Christian is a fairly quiet and reserved sort of person, however, he is known to still be fairly friendly, and incredibly patient - he isn't known to get angry or lose his temper at all. It takes time to get to know him, however, and he is deeply influenced by the comments of others, especially the negative thoughts - regardless of whether or not they are a joke. He does not like being at the centre of attention at all, and rejects the idea of getting noticed. He can be quick to judge someone from the very first meeting, and then choosing whether or not he should avoid them from that point. For those that he is close to, he is very trustworthy and loyal, and even shows a more confident side around them. Christian is also usually willing to help someone out, something which some people take advantage of. Interests: Christian's main interest - and his most well-known one - is that he loves art in pretty much every form. He always seems to have at least one or two art projects going on, whether it is a watercolour painting, or a charcoal drawing, or a clay sculpture - and that's just to name a few. He always carries a sketchbook with him, just in case a flash of inspiration strikes, or so that he can work on a sketch while he is waiting, or bored. Christian also likes to read a whole plethora of genres, although his favourite has to be sci-fi and fantasy. Another interest of his is mythology - especially Norse and Egyptian. It serves as one of his main sources of inspiration for his art, particularly the lesser-known stories. Finally, Christian likes to listen to classical and alternative music. Fears: Christian only really has two fears. The first is a fear of horses. He's not entirely sure why, but it's not something that he is willing to talk about with anyone. His second fear is of deep water, as he almost drowned in a swimming pool when he was seven years old. He feels nauseated watching scenes on TV that take place underwater - even if the scene has the characters on a submarine. Short Bio: Christian was born in Winchester, England, to Alicia and Harrison Ellis - an upper-middle class couple in their mid-20's. He grew up comfortably alongside his sister, Diane, who is three years older than him. Christian had quite a small, select group of friends in school, although he didn't often join them in after-school events. At the age of seven, he and his family went on holiday to Egypt, and the hotel that they stayed in had a large swimming pool. It was here that Christian almost drowned, and set in his fear of deep water. Things became a little rocky with his parents for a while, but there were never any huge arguments that he was a witness to. Eventually, a few months after Christian turned 14, Alicia and Harrison suddenly divorced - apparently on good terms, but neither Christian nor Diane had the chance to see or speak to their father again. Alicia took full custody of her two children, and moved to America with them. A couple of years later, Daniel Stiller came into their life as Alicia and him met at a restaurant. Christian did not take much of a liking to Daniel at first, but is slowly growing used to him. Diane, however, made it clear that she did not - and still does not - like Daniel. She moved out about six months ago, with the money that she had saved from her part-time job, stating that she was going to find her and Christian's father, and find out the real reason behind the divorce. Family:Mother- Alicia Jane Ellis. Stepfather- Daniel Tyler Stiller. Father- Harrison Francis Ellis. (No contact). Older sister- Diane Jennifer Ellis. (Moved out). Significant Other: None. Pets: A female silver tabby cat named Scraps. Other: N/A.

Full Name: Anthony Ralph Farah. Nickname: Anthony. Age: 23. Gender: Cismale. Pronouns: He/Him/His. Orientation: Pansexual. Nationality: Lebanese. (FC: Lee Majdoub). Personality: Anthony is generally a caring, quiet and patient sort of person, and is usually the willing shoulder for someone to lean/cry on if they need to. He is also prepared to listen to someone vent and talk to him, and will give advice - though he also warns that he's not necessarily good at doing so. He prefers to sit back and avoid giving his opinion, as to not spark a conflict, and will agree with the majority - even if his own thoughts go against this. Therefore, he's not exactly a vocal person, and will also do his absolute best to avoid answering awkward questions. He is a gentle soul and incredibly friendly, and honestly doesn't mind having fans come up to him to talk, even though he isn't normally a completely social person. Despite being someone that will listen to another person vent, he prefers to keep his stresses to himself and not talk about them to anyone, as he figures that no one else would be interested in listening to him. Because of this, he may uncharacteristically snap over the slightest thing happening, and regret doing so almost immediately afterwards. He finds it very difficult to face those that he snapped at, as he will think of the worst outcomes of the situation, and is certain that he has predicted right. Interests: One of Anthony's biggest interests is music. He likes to listen to pretty much a whole variety of genres, and loves to get recommendations from others so that he can add to his extensive collection. He can also play bass guitar, which he plays as part of his role in the band that he is in - Phoenix Lights. He mostly taught himself, but he did have a few books to start off with to get to grips with the basics - he's pretty sure that he's still got them stored away somewhere in a box in his attic. Anthony also likes to sing a little as well, though he isn't quite as confident with that as he is with his bass. His vocal range is rather impressive, though he hasn't shown the full extent of it to anyone other than himself and a singing teacher that he still sometimes talks to. Another huge interest of his is rock climbing. When he is not touring or otherwise not at home, he likes to go to his town's recreational center to have an hour or two on the climbing wall each day. Finally, as a lesser-known interest, he likes to collect gemstones and find out their 'spiritual properties'. Fears: Anthony has a large fear of planes/flying. He has not mentioned this to anyone, out of another fear of being ridiculed or kicked out of the band. This originated from a few different sources, such as the news stories of planes crashing or going missing. This main source may be, though, from the bad experience that he had during the first - and so far, only - time that he has flown on the a plane (when he was 13, and his family were moving from Lebanon to England), in which there had to be an emergency landing due to the plane suddenly experiencing problems, along with there being heavy turbulence. Short Bio: Anthony was born in Beirut, Lebanon to Lara and Ralph Farah. Since he first started talking and had a full grasp of his native language - Lebanese Arabic - he started to also learn English and French, as taught by his parents. He grew up as an only child, having no other siblings. At the age of 13, his family moved to England, supposedly because of business reasons regarding his father's work, although it was also partly because his parents wanted to move to England and have better contact with Lara's sister - although they still rarely talk. This move set the fear of flying and planes into Anthony, due to the plane having heavy turbulence, and there was an emergency landing required because of the plane experiencing problems. Since Anthony already knew how to speak English, he had very little to pick up on about the language - aside from the varying accents. He also started to take an interest in music, and quickly decided that he wanted to learn how to play the bass guitar. So, for his 14th birthday, he received a beginner's book for bass, and his first bass guitar. He also had some singing lessons that he dropped at the age of 17, in order to fully focus on his bass, although in the now up-and-coming band - Phoenix Lights - that he and a few others formed, he also provides backing vocals for the songs. A few months after he turned 19, Anthony moved out of his parent's home into an apartment with another member of the band, and he worked at a record store to help pay the rent. Soon enough, he and the rest of Phoenix Lights were given a record deal with a label, after being discovered after a few years of working hard and playing in small venues such as pubs. The band released an album recently, and have toured the UK, since they do not have a significant fanbase outside of the UK at present. Family:
Mother- Lara Rita Farah. Father- Ralph Joseph Farah. Significant Other: None. Pets: None. Other: N/A.

Full Name: Jackson Shaw. Nickname: Jackson. Age: 19. Gender: Agender. Pronouns: He/Him/His. They/Them. Orientation: Asexual-Panromantic. Nationality: English (British).
Appearance: (To be added when on computer).
Personality: At first, he may appear to be all quiet and stoic, being an almost silent observer, however he is just taking a careful look at you to see if you're the sort of person that he'd trust. That can become a little unnerving as he has a tendency to intensely stare at the person that is talking to him. After this, though, he shows his incredibly friendly and energetic side. He tends to seem as though he is always bursting with energy. To those that he grows close to, he becomes very caring and is a lot more relaxed around them. However, he isn't a big sharer at all, and will brush off questions that he doesn't want to answer as though nothing had been said. He's also big on having mutual trust with someone, and if someone was to break his trust in any way, then he will become incredibly cold towards them, and will cut off as much contact with them as he can. He does not give second chances. Interests: His first and foremost interest is the whole equestrian genre. Since he grew up on a ranch, he has pretty much grown up with horses, and helped out his father a lot with the horses. Jackson prefers to spend as much time as he can with the horses, and although he would rather care for them alone, he does allow certain other people that he completely trusts to help out if they wish to. He is skilled in both English- and Western-style riding, though he prefers Western. He does enter a few competitions a year, some he wins, some he doesn't, but he isn't known to like competing against others much. Since Jackson spends most of his time with his horses, he doesn't have much time for other interests that he may have, but he tries to fit them in as much as he can. One of these other interests is cooking. He's not some master chef, but he does know how to cook a decent meal - sometimes from scratch - and he enjoys doing so. Another couple of his interests are windchimes and dreamcatchers. He finds them calming, and sometimes - when he has a rare hour or two spare - makes them as well. Fears: Jackson won't openly admit to having any fears, but he does have a slight fear of dogs. Ever since one bit him on the hand when he was younger - and left a small scar - he has been very wary around them, and tenses up noticeably if he sees one. He also intensely dislikes elevators, and hates the idea of potentially getting stuck in one with other people. If there's a stairs option, then he'll always take it.
Short Bio: Jackson was born in a small village hospital in England, to Tessa and Brian Shaw. As his parents lived on a ranch, that was where he grew up. It was somewhat secluded, so he didn't really meet anyone his age until he started school, but as there were a few other people that also kept their horses on the ranch, he wasn't completely away from other people. On the ranch, he liked to watch the horses - though one did scare him when he was two, because loud noises generally do scare young children. However, he evidently did not let that affect him much. At the age of 7, he started learning to ride horses, with his favourite horse being a small, 12.1 hand high dark bay Exmoor pony named Blue. Eventually, at the age of 11, he received a three year old mare named Willow, and he took to working with Blue and Willow. However, about a year later, Blue died from a severe case of colic. Jackson has marked where his ashes are buried in the yard. So, he now focused on Willow, although he was deeply saddened by the loss of Blue. Over the next few years, he continued working with his father's other horses, and has seen others pass away as well - though none of them hurt as much as Blue. When they found out that his father had a brain tumour, Jackson took to taking the main bulk of the work. Just a few months ago, his father died, leaving him and his mother with the ranch. Since his mother did not often work on the ranch, she allowed him to take control of it, and he decided to make the ranch private for the time being, so any liveries left the ranch, understanding the situation. While he doesn't mind talking about his horses, he adamantly refuses to talk about the ranch in general, or about his father.
Family: Mother- Tessa Sarah Shaw. Father- Brian Edward Shaw. (Deceased). Significant Other: None. Pets: Four horses. • Duke - 9 years - stallion - 15.3 hands high - black Friesian. • Caesar - 4 years - gelding - 15.1 hands high - grey Andalusian. • Goldrush - 6 years - mare - 15.2 hands high - Palomino. • Willow - 10 years - mare - 16.0 hands high - bay thoroughbred.
Other: N/A.

I really want to make a character chat that's kind of like a 'mockumentary'. (ie. there's 'cameras' and the character occasionally move away from the main action to talk about their real feelings about what's happening, or to explain something. Or if something ridiculous happens, then a character would look into the 'camera'. Kind of like The Office or Parks & Recreation. If anyone's watched any of those two). Not sure if anyone would join it, though.

Or even make a roleplay based off one of the two shows, with characters filling in the roles. (For example, the lovable idiot, the Government-hating Government worker, the workaholic, the one everyone picks on/blames/does everything wrong, etc, etc.)

(Seriously, if anyone's interested in either of those ideas, please make it known to me). --
I'm also thinking of making a reunion roleplay on here - that could be fun, I guess. Maybe.

You know, maybe I won't. It's not exactly one of my best ideas, after all. But I will store it, in case I change my mind, or come up with a few additions for it.
Anyway, time to get back to writing out character forms and stuff. Maybe I'll write out Cedric's next... either his or Damien's.

Full Name: Rose Victoria Powell. Nickname:
Rose. Age:
22 years. Gender:
Cisfemale. Pronouns:
She/her. Orientation:
Bisexual. Nationality:
American. Appearance: (FC: Rebecca Naomi Jones). Personality: Rose is a confident, friendly and loyal person. She will fiercely stand by her friends, even if they screw up, as she tends to usually give second chances - unless the incident was something that is completely unforgivable and against her morals. She's also incredibly extroverted and energetic, and her energy seems to just radiate off her. While she is known to love crowds and the party scene, Rose does like to also have a quiet night in, watching a film, or reading a book, or something similar. She will also spend a night in if one of her friends would rather not go out, so that they won't be alone. She makes sure that no one among her friend group is left out, or their suggestions and comments ignored, as she hates the idea of someone feeling as though they are unimportant to the conversation. She also smiles at pretty much everyone that she passes on the street - as she has the mindset that someone's day may get lifted if just one person acknowledges them, even if briefly, on the street, so that they do not feel as though they are completely invisible to the world - unless they are a creepy cat-caller. Rose sometimes makes impulsive decisions, even if it is an unfamiliar situation, and especially if it's a new, exciting idea. She's also quite disorganised, and tends to lose things, only for them to eventually turn up in some unexpected places, though she is trying to get this turned around. Interests: Rose loves performing - acting, singing and dancing - and she works with a travelling theatre company. She performs about 5 or 6 times a week, and although the performances are repetitive, she still loves the thrill and feeling of being in front of a new audience for every production - although she sometimes recognises one or two faces, if they are close enough to the stage - and after performing, she'll change her outfit to something simple, and go out to the lobby. Sometimes she is approached by people that recognise her, but it is not often, and she regretfully can't stay for too long. Rose also likes rock and punk music, and she sometimes uploads recordings of her covering songs onto her YouTube account, which has a fair subscriber count. She takes the time to answer questions from fans both on YouTube and her Twitter account, though she doesn't get around to all of them. She also loves to attend concerts, and visit theme/amusement parks, and attempt to ride on as many rollercoasters as she can in one day. She also has an interest in history, and particularly likes to learn about the theatres that she performs in, as well as the city. She also has a particular liking for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups - which she revealed in a Q&A that she filmed for her YouTube channel. Fears: Rose has a fear of clowns, and will hide her face if she sees one, until she is absolutely certain that it has gone. Short Bio: Rose was born to Freya and Vincent Powell in Chicago, USA, and she has a relatively regular childhood. A couple of years later, her sister, Amelie, was born. At the age of seven, she and her family moved to the UK - Manchester, England. Rose didn't discover her love of performing until the secondary school that she attended started to organise whole-school annual end-of-year productions when she was in Year 8, and her music teacher recommended that she tried out for a part. Even though she got a small part, she still loved every moment of the production, and continued to be a part of these productions each year, until she left school to study Performing Arts in college - although other teachers advised her to study a different subject. She continued to study Performing Arts in university, and at her final university production, she was spotted by a couple of casting agents. She decided to join a travelling theatre company after being invited for an audition, and being successful. The company is UK-based, and the touring productions are from March to September, with 5/6 performances a week. They travel all around the UK to different theatres, and are known to be rather successful. As the pre-tour rehearsals take place in Leicester, Rose decided to move there, so that she would be close to rehearsals. During the months that she is at home, Rose works at a pub, of which she is on friendly terms with the owner - Lucinda Windsor. Family:
Mother - Freya Nikki Powell. Father - Vincent Tony Powell. Sister - Amelie April Powell. Significant Other: None. Pet: None. Other: N/A.Now for a couple more photos of her Face Claim...
