"Westbridge didn't offer a photography club so.."
||Band|Piano||
::t a l e n t::
"I enjoy torturing myself for hours at a time by listening to the wretched sounds that emanate from my piano."
||August has been dependent solely on her ability to manipulate without fault.||
||She hates all things music, however this doesn't stop her from pursuing a career in music.||
||August could probably tell someone that she was a survivor of an attack of a rat the size of an elephant and get away with it.||
||Her sly hands and stealthy demeanor has rewarded with with various types of goods and luxuries.||
||August is passionate about photography and takes pride in the photos she takes.||
::p e r s o n a l i t y::
"I'm a serious bitch."
||Call her rude or call her opinionated, either way August couldn't care less. The brunette is a tranquil person with the habit to blurt out whatever she is thinking. She tends to be perceived as rude from the mixture of sarcastic comments and straightforwardness. Stubborn, nonchalant, and cynical, people tend to steer clear of August and her bad attitude. Not having much social experience doesn't quite help her case either. She's witty but she isn't school smart. August is usually a passive person who is really quite introverted. Observant and (other than her snarky remarks) relatively quiet, she is often overlooked by others and therefore can get away with a lot more. Being impulsive is an understatement, her actions are often deprived from her emotions and not from her head. She has a tendency to get herself into trouble, whether it be her mouth or something stupid she did.||
::h i s t o r y::
"My life has been pretty low-key thus far.."
||August was born into the damaged marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Hayes. Both in their late twenties and neither ready for a child. Her mother, a wild party girl and a prostitute. And her father, apart of the Navy. August's father insisted on any music lessons that were both expensive and worthless. Though, no one seemed to care about the difficulties August had reading the sheet music. The brunette's disdain for classical music only grew stronger as she endured it throughout the years.||
||At the age of 12, her mother and father finally divorced and full custody had been handed to her mother. Since then, she has not talked to her father since. For all she know, he could be dead.. or still in the Navy. August was fully aware of the men her mother brought home every night and the drugs she did in their living room. Naturally, August picked up on the nasty habit as well. And from then forth, it had only gotten worse for her. She stole anything that caught her eye and consistently started trouble that didn't need to be started. As she grew older, the stealing wasn't a habit anyway but something she NEEDED to do and pot wasn't enough anymore, she NEEDED something stronger. August finally grew desperate enough that she started stealing from her mother. Money from her latest hookups or gifts she had received.||
||This was there unspoken deal. Her mother would pretend not to notice the missing items and August didn't notice the creepy, wanting looks she'd receive from her mother's "guests". This was when August finally started to appreciate photography. When she realized how special that perfect shot was. The Polaroid camera she had stolen never left her side anymore and she began searching for the.. right moment.||
||Their deal finally came to an end when one of her mother's guests finally snuck into her room and her mother still pretended not to notice. But August couldn't pretend anymore. She wanted out. She demanded her mother give her the money for the trip to Westbridge and the tuition, just in case August hadn't thrilled the boarding school. The rest, she'd figure out. And without a word, August stole her mother's car and drove off to Westbridge.||
::s e c r e t s::
"I've got to have something for myself... Did you really expect me to just blurt out my deepest secrets?"
||August Amelia Hayes has been addicted to some sort of drug since she was in junior high.||
||She's a thief and most of her items are stolen and currently leeches off of the monthly pay checks she forces her mother to send her.||
||Was once arrested for a petty theft charge and another for drug possession.||
||Her mother is a prostitute and August had accidentally been caught in the crossfire between her and an unhappy customer. August's mother has no idea where she is and August blackmailed her to make her keep quiet about what happened until she finally turned 18.||
::s t r e n g t h s::
"Are you referring to physical strength? Because I'm afraid I lack such strength."
||Though, she hates everything about the instruments she plays, she undoubtedly has a gift.||
||The brunette not only has become a great thief, but a great liar too.||
||Alas, August can endure a lot before she finally breaks.||
||The drug addict knows how to stand her ground and isn't afraid to do the same for someone else.||
||Whatever the reason, August finds she works better in a high pressure, really stressful situation.||
::w e a k n e s s e s::
"Oh, how I love discussing my insecurities and passing my problems onto strangers.."
||August takes the "freedom of speech" part a little too seriously.||
||No matter ho many times she disagrees, August is dyslexic.||
||The brunette seriously can't tell right from wrong.||
||She's a kleptomaniac, a liar, a drug addict, but thankfully... she can't hold her liquor.||
||And the list goes on and on...||

||If there is one thing Brayden is good at, it's art. His passion for drawing had started young and it carried on into high school years.||
||Brayden prides himself on his video game skills.. Even if others don't care.||
||Brayden loves to bake, and is rather good at it. However, he cannot cook nor does he stray away from a recipe.||
||Brayden spends an extreme amount of time reading. In fact, he'd rather be in his dorm reading rather than socializing with others. He's also an avid anime watcher. How this contributes to his future success is beyond him but he's proud that he's able to go days on end without taking a break from his fictional world.||
::p e r s o n a l i t y::
||Brayden is the little brother to any person willing to let him cling to them, regardless of age. His forgiving tendencies along with his friendly demeanor allows him to befriend almost anyone. Brayden often thinks with his heart, rather than his head and his emotions cloud his thoughts, making his judgement biased. However, it's rare that Brayden is seen angry or frustrated as he's usually happy and bubbly. He's rather clingy and a bit too trusting, resulting in him sometimes getting involved with the wrong crowds. He's immune to the bad side of people, and others usually take advantage of this trait. A bit antisocial and a huge fangirl, Brayden spends most of his time cocooned in his room playing video games. Brayden is caring, sensitive, and accepting, however he often forgets to take care of his own needs. Whether this means doing his homework or remembering to brush his hair. Brayden doesn't appreciate being helped or asking for help, as he likes to believe that he can take care of himself. Reserved and a bit quiet around others he doesn't know, Brayden is easily intimidated and rarely approaches anyone he doesn't know. Rather insecure, Brayden is in constant need of other people's approval and will do anything to please others.
::h i s t o r y::
||Brayden's biological mother was an attraction for bad luck and had gotten pregnant at the age of 15 by some boy she barely knew. With no other choice, she was forced to give her baby up for adoption and Brayden was adopted by a lovely elderly couple. They treated Brayden as if he was their own, spoiled him, and even scolded him when he refused to eat that disgusting green goop that always came along with his meals. Up until the age of 7, Brayden lived a quiet and happy childhood. His adoptive mother had been late-diagnosed with leukemia. It was rather late for treatment and she continued to plea for them to let her go, unwilling to helplessly watch as her body deteriorated, as she was only going to live a couple months regardless of her treatment. Hesitantly, Brayden's dad agreed and Brayden's mom was taken home, where exactly a month later, she passed away. Although it hurt that the person who was closest to him, who encouraged him to draw, was gone he was thankful that she had passed away peacefully. However, Brayden's dad took the death hard and plunged into a darkness that he'd never escape. With no other way to rid of the pain, his dad turned to alcohol. Brayden watched helplessly as his other parent slowly left him.. His addiction came to the point where he could no longer focus on anything else but alcohol. The numbness of the substance was wearing off and anger was all that was left. It wasn't long until his dad continued to find ways to blame Brayden for his problems. Who was once a gentle, loving man was now a violent being with a hot temper. What was once verbal abuse was now physical, but Brayden didn't mind. It was his father's way of showing him that he loved him, and if it numbed his pain, even a little bit, Brayden didn't find a few scars. This was temporary.. What his father had been dealing with would never go away. Brayden just made sure that he never went swimming without a shirt on, he made sure he always wore his jacket, that he learned how not to flinch when someone touched him, to avoid sleepovers and changing in front of other people. Because it was just one slip up that could potentially expose their family's secrets. And it WAS just one slip up that exposed everything. After Brayden had locked himself in his room, his father had taken the locks out his door. This resulted in his eldest sister walking in on Brayden changing. She had discovered their secret. Before Brayden had a chance to explain, she had confronted their father and before Brayden knew it, his father was in jail for child abuse and he was living with his sister. He didn't understand why she had overreacted like she did. Brayden was fine. However, he stayed quiet. He didn't want to upset her further than she already was. His sister was often gone all day and all night, as she was always working. This proved useful in the end, as she was able to pay for Brayden's tuition at Westbridge.||
::s e c r e t s::
||Brayden has insomnia of which originated from anxiety.||
||Brayden has never been in a relationship.||
||Never actually finished Metal Gear Solid.||
::s t r e n g t h s::
||Quite the nurturing type, Brayden is quite in tune with other people's emotions, making him a great shoulder to cry on.||
||Even though he's not very strong, nor is he athletic, Brayden's energy never waivers.||
||This may not be much of a useful skill, but Brayden has somehow managed to beat Contra without the use of a Spread Gun.||
::w e a k n e s s e s::
||Brayden is easily frightened, and is rarely seen going out of his comfort zone.||
||Rather clumsy and just extremely aloof, Brayden is weak and uncoordinated at all things exercise.||
||Brayden often refers to himself as "tone deaf" which is actually not that far from the truth.||

||Lying, acting, whatever you call it, Luca's good at it. He uses this talent often as a facade, which works relatively well when you don't want to deal with your problems.||
|| Luke can manage to make a lecture about how he loves grilled cheese sandwiches into an inspirational speech that somehow encourages you to want to go to law school.||
||Although he doesn't care enough to try, Luke is actually a great mathematician and was planning on teaching math. However, the recent drastic changes in his grades surely won't get him there.||
::p e r s o n a l i t y::
||Luca can be pretty difficult to describe.. Considering he's well known for his mood swings and personality changes. Luca is quite blunt and severely insensitive when it comes to other people. However, his admirable charisma and cheerful personality seems to distract people from this. His overwhelming confidence along with his sickening determination makes him quite the competitive student and one that others rarely challenge. A bit of a harlot, Luca is outgoing and somewhat empathetic. Impulsive and enthusiastic, Luca is rather daring and independent. Quite emotional rather than logical, Luca's mistakes often surround the fact that he can't handle his emotions very well. His playful attitude often masks his insecurities or doubts, as he perceives these as weaknesses. Curt with those he dislikes, yet sarcastic with those he does. Luca's rather harsh and doesn't care much for those he doesn't associate himself with. Observant, flirtatious, impatient, compassionate, yet optimistic, Luca's personality varies quite often. He could be quiet and level headed one second to hyperactive and energetic.||

||Luca is struggling with depression, and refuses to take anti-depressants.||
||Luca's father hates his guts.||
