somewhere else tonight?:Lead Roles sad pm me if you want one!)First Female Lead:
Name: "Ailu" [A-loo]
Age: 19
Hight: 5'8
Tatoos or Markings: "#94647" in black in the inside of her left forearm.
Bio: She calls herself Ailu because she believes it's what her mother named her, but, given that she was with her mother (outside the womb) for no more than a few minutes, the likelihood of "Ailu" actually remembering her mother call her that are somewhat slim. (But hey, who knows, stranger things have obviously happened!)
She grew up in a government lab testing...place... but nothing like you hear about in movies or see in book sharpened to her. They made sure that she was cared for and in peak physical condition, even if they didn't quite get around to treating her like a human, replacing her number with a name, or letting her around any other people...
Time went on and, as the opportunity presented itself, she escaped the small, white world she had been raised in.
Personality: In spite of being deprived of nearly all human contact, Ailu isn't some selfish imp without a heart. Being alone as taught her to be gentle, rather than fierce, and all that running on a treadmill and all those wing exorcises have been great for clearing her head. She happens to know five languages, math up through calculus, and all of the great works of Shakespeare front to back, (not that any of it ever did her any good.) She likes "Twelfth Night" best.
First Male Lead:
Name: Ricky Crafter
Age: 19
Hight: 6'0
Tatoos or Markings: none
Bio: Ricky loved his mom. More than anything else, the grief of losing her is what hurts him when he wakes up in the morning. He was her baby, and right up until she died, they had a very close relationship.
Ricky had always been the trouble maker, but has since been forced to let his childhood games behind in pursuit of enough money to go on living. He tends to sleep in. Ricky works at the local bar and pub as a waiter. He doesn't enjoy being around all the alcohol and unhappy steelworkers, but there simply aren't any other jobs, and at least his father has the sense to drink inside his own house...
When he's not there--and he's there as little as he can humanly manage-- he's either at eh local library or in his own attic, trying a new "spell" or "potion" that he's come up with. Thus far, the only thing that has seemed to work is his mercury-and-sulfate table lamp. A failed experiment turned his hair violet and his eyes read. (Something to do with the essence of albino dove mixing with lava rock the wrong way...) However, he seems to have found some kind of passion in the thing, and continues to go about the practice almost daily.
At night, Ricky loves to stargaze. Some part of him really does believe they can tell the future. That same part tells him is mother may be gazing back at him...
Personality: Ricky is very down-to-earth for being an alchemist. He treats other people with a polite respect, if somewhat distant. He hates everything his brother is and does, wishing that he would come home to help him take care of the family. In the face of things, Ricky has learned to be resourceful and practical, but everyone can tell that there's a restlessness in him that he struggles to stifle.
Second Male Lead:Name: Aaron Crafter
Age: 23
Hight: 6'3
Tatoos or Markings: Aside from the battle wound here and there?
this:
http://www.fivecentsplease.org/dpb/kevintat.jpgBio: Aaron was Dad's firstborn. His golden boy. He pride and joy. The apple of his eye, and all that good stuff. There had been fishing trips and sports lessons and "the way things are" lectures. Then mom got sick, and dad started getting down.
But Aaron had been an older kid by then, able to rationalize and understand why his dad might not say so many words or hold him so tightly. It wasn't unusual, right? He was able to explain it all away to himself, and instead find enjoyment in his friends. He had a lot of those, and more as time went on.
Aaron learned quickly to be the center of attention, by whatever means possible. He played the funny man for all to watch and laugh with. He even did it for his dad when he thought it might help. It never seemed to.
So, when mom finally kicked the bucket, Aaron up and left the house. Said he was old enough and that dad didn't need to have to take care of him as well as littler Ricky. He's now a minor league baseball player, and only home when he needs something, tough lately, he's been coming home more often on the off seasons than his wonder-lusting spirit might lead people to believe...
Personality: A superb sense of humor will get you anywhere these days. No one knows it beter than Aaron. On multiple accations it has gotten him into the skirts of a fair number of lovely wemon. It also means that he has a small gang of friends he keeps around him at all times. For Aaron, there's nothing better than a couch or resurant bentch full of people to joke around with.
He finds his little brother's hobbies, if anything, embarassing. He thinks that stargazing should be left to old men and little girls, (and the whole hair and eyes thing is just creepy.)
Second Female Lead:Name: Rosalie "that cazy vampire lady" Chamakova
Age: 24
hight:6'0
Tatoos or Markings: none
Bio: What turns a person into an eccentric, somewhat crazy hermit before they become an old lady? Ask Rosalie. She'll laugh at you and say "Oh, vis and vat, you know." and then try to scare you away with her fake vampire teeth, gleaming yellow contact lenses, and generally awkward fashion sense. You'll find her in the cemetery on the hill, trying to hide from the sunlight behind the larger tombstones. He's probably behind the one marked "Gustavo Chamakova and wife," but you shouldn't ask her about that. She doesn't like it when people ask her about that. But, if you want to hear a ghost story, or you want to try you hand at winning the heart that beats beneath that sexy body, (or what must be a sexy body under that huge dress and great big cape,) feel free to look for her. But don't go looking for her there at night. That'd be silly. She's the bar's night-shift tender.
Personality: Come often enough, and you'll find that when she's done telling ghost stories, the gleam in her eyes fades away to a kind of foggy sorrow. But if you leave right then and bring her back a pear of old man Tungsten’s orchard, she'll laugh again and thank you between juicy, rapturous mouthfuls. She's like that, always going both directions. But she has a heart of gold after all is said and done, I’m sure. (If you can get pest the clothes, I mean.)
Third Female Lead:Name: Samantha "Sammy Cat" Thompson
Age: 17
hight: 5'8'
Tatoos or Markings: none yet!
Bio: Samantha Thompson comes from a long, proud line of no-collage laborers. Life was rough and dirty and all fun. The eldest sister of a large family, she finds herself forced to site on top of a large pile of puppy-like children regularly in order to establish that she is still number one. Both of Samantha's parents love her dearly, and the home cooking at the Thompson house tastes like what most people hope they find of when they pay for "fine dining." It's a loud sort of life, and Sammy Cat loves every moment of it.
These days, "BLARG" is her favorite word. That says a lot about a person. In order to fight away the depression of living in a town without a future, Samantha picked up a guitar and started to bang on the strings. It might seem like an impossible task, but she found enough other kids with an ear for music and a taste for rock in her tiny town, and the Sammy Cats Band was born. They play at the local bar almost every Saturday, before jumping in the nearby river to cool off. You wouldn't think so, but the town loves them in spite of their "big city" rock sound. Perhaps it has something to do with how happy the kids look, and how up-beat it makes all the listeners feel.
Personality: "...Bubbly" is what most people label her, (ellipsis and all.) She has a thing for all sorts of boys, and tends to flirt a lot. It's all in good fun-- which is what she's looking for with every breath. Underneath her incessant desire to play, there's a bit of a hopeless romantic in her, which comes out in a few of the love songs she rights for her band. Lately she's had her eyes on a particular nightly visitor, although he's much older...
