Adrian Tyrese Clark
name means: one from the city of Adria; ("ain't nothin' but a black thang"); priest
birthdate: October 15 - 24ish
sunsign: Libra
stats:
eyes: brown
hair: dark brown
height:5'11"
weight
build: football player
skintone: chocolate brown (black)
bio: Adrian's a nondescript middle child in a large black family headed by a single mom. His father was a Marine, often deployed, rarely home even before he was killed on active duty. Adrian's numerous brothers and sisters spoke well of his parents relations, though, and mark fairly accurately the times they were together.
Adrian and Star are tight like brothers. Star looked up to Adrian's dad and Adrian loved Star's mom and her cooking. He was there with Star when he found his mom's body, split a duplex with Star when they moved out of their family homes and shared many other (mis)adventures with the Italian.
Largely due to Star's constant street problems, Adrian decided he wanted to become a doctor. He went to college on a football scholarship - never losing touch or breaking ties with his less scholarly best friend - and is now working on his internship. His specialty is trauma.

Athena
name means: wise
birthdate: June 26
sunsign: Cancer
bio: Once one of the highest teir of power in the "otherworld", Athena was called upon to help provide guidance and protection to the children of - and for - the future. The power of her vision tainted her powerful visions and she lost touch with reality, seeing versions of fate warped by a damaged mind. Forever after protecting not the future, but her future...

Balthazar
name means: Baal protect the king
note: for my purposes "king" is a bad interpretation of "great power"...or "destiny".
bio: Balthazar is one of the highest tier of power in the "otherworld". He is charged with guidance and protection of the children of - and for - the future, a duty he shared with Athena until her fall. Fate kept him from his responsibilities and his absense became key in creating the circumstance of Perfect Kismet.
He is also the wizard who physically removed Link from the elves of "otherworld".

sunsign: Gemini
stats:
eyes: dark blue
hair:dirty blonde; very slightly darker than Chrissy's
height:
weight:
build:
skintone:
other: eyebrow piercing (right side), both ears pierced
bio: Courtney Smith might or might not be Court's real name.
...but if it ever wasn't, it is now.
Court isn't about putting her life story out there for all to know, though it's easy to tell just by looking at her that she's a streetsmart girl with a chip on her shoulder. The hows and whys are her own. But, hey, she has her priorities set: Survival, Fun and Friends - in that order. I guess it's no wonder she doesn't keep with many people she'd call 'friend'.

birthdate: April 16th - 23ish
sunsign: Aries
stats:
eyes: brown
hair:brown
height:
weight:
build: very curvy yet athletic - surfer
skintone:
bio: "DD" is from a country in the southern hemisphere (that I have yet to decide on). She has a natural talent for surfing that she works hard to cultivate... she sees it as her way out. She's hardworking and driven, but has an attitude and a huge chip on her shoulder when it comes to those she thinks have everything handed to them.

Dominick Sunn MacAlister
name means: lord; (Rell Sunn = female surfer); (Donald clan. motto = boldly)
birthdate: December 14 - 20ish
sunsign: Saggitarius
stats:
eyes:chesnut brown
hair: sunstreaked blond
height:
weight:
build:swimmer's muscle - surfer
skintone:perpetually tan (Australian/Scottish)
bio: Dom was born into a surf legacy and has the natural talent to prove it. His childhood was rootless with both his parents intent on following the surf circuits around the world until they decided to retire. Now they've settled in Oceanview where they opened a surf shop. Dom still surfs the circuits but for the first time in his life he has a home to return to and it's a weird thing to adjust to.
He's a celebrity in the surf world. Deserved because of his talent, but fostered because of his looks and trademark pigtails. Between that slight and the misinterpretation of his laidback enjoyment of life as insincere, he has a lot of detractors. He's also been labeled a sellout as he doesn't see anything wrong with commercialization so long as it allows him the freedom to continue. He surfs because it's in his blood but he doesn't have the heart for competition. He doesn't care about winning or losing or better or worse, he just wants to be out in the waves enjoying nature.

Parisa Snow Evans
name means: (lost meaning); snow; -
birthdate: September 12 - 20ish
sunsign: Virgo
stats:
eyes: ice blue
hair: white-blonde
height:
weight:
build:flat chested, lithely athletic - ballet dancer
skintone: pale (like Swedish/Netherlandish)
other: nosering in left nostril (diamond nose stud or silver hoop), 3 piercings/lobe.
bio: Paris is the epitome of spoiled rich girl... except for the fact that there's not a mean bone in her body, she's just naive as all get out.
She wants desperately to break away from her family, get out and rebel, but she didn't even have a clue where to start until she met Lance who was more than willing to point her in the right direction.
After the first country club expedition cancelled in favor of a clubbing expedition, Paris was hooked and has been clumsily foraying into the real world ever since. Luckily, her constant faux pas are the source of endless amusement for the motly crew.

"Pinky" Penelope Joan Rozanski
name means: weaver ; God is gracious ; rose
birthdate: October 5 - 20ish
sunsign: Libra
stats:
eyes: mahogany or rosewood brown (red/pink end of the scale)
hair:naturally dark blonde; dyed bright pink
height:
weight:
build: very curvey but athletic; dancer's build
skintone:
bio: Penelope "Pinky" Rozanski left home as soon as she legally could. Not because she cared about the legality of her emancipation, but because she knew enough to wait until she could have a chance to survive without getting screwed over - literally or figuratively. She could stay at home for that.
Pinky's charm has always been in her unique combination of streetsmarts and lack of common sense. She GoGo dances for a living, such as it is, though she dreams of a better life.

Raven Elwin -
name means: raven (or black); the elves' friend;
stats:
eyes: brown
hair: jet-black curls or waves
height:
weight:
build:
skintone:swarthy (gypsy)
bio: Raven always knew she had a destiny beyond her gypsy clan. So when the beautiful elf appeared one day, looking at her as if she were his world... and making her feel the same... she knew. The fact that Renshaw was 'of the raven' just cinched their surity. Not that destiny mattered, it was love at first sight.
Fate interfered. It hadn't been more than weeks before Renshaw disappeared, presumed dead. Even their child, that Ren had never known, wasn't enough to fill her void. Her soul died with Renshaw's disappearence, it was only a handful of years before her body died as well.

Renshaw
name means: of the raven forest
stats:
eyes: blue. animalesque full-eye iris and blue eyeshine. exotic elf eyetilt.
hair: blond, featherlike and flyaway.
height:
weight:
build: catlike lithe lean muscle
skintone:
peircings: full ear peircings
other: Elf. Ear points. Sharp incisors. Eyeshine. Stylized raven tattood across his face. Usually covered in henna.
bio: Renshaw... elf of the bloodline affiliated with raven, left his clan to find his destiny. When he came upon the gypsy girl Raven in his travels, he knew he'd found it.
Unfortunately there were forces working against them, trying to change destiny yet working with fate. After a mere two weeks of their promised lifetime together they were forced apart. Ren was captured, imprisoned - a fate worse than death for an elf of nature - and presumed dead. Roughly 20 years, a lifetime, passed before Ren was set free. His imprisonment destabilized him, finding that he had a son shocked him and learning that his Raven had long since died undid him.

"Star" Sebastiano Guida Galileo
name means: revered; guide; person from Galilee
birthdate: January 22 - 22ish
sunsign: Aquarius
stats:
eyes: green
hair: black; bleached blond with roots
height:5'8"
weight:
build: thickly muscular
skintone:olive (Italian)
other: one hoop per earlobe; black goatee; zodiac-inspired tattoos; scars
bio: Star's Italian, born a mamma's boy with a wild streak and a nose for trouble. Lower-middle class, his family lived in the ghetto "temporarily", trying to save for the suburbs. Unfortunately, his father came up against the mafia and his mother got killed. His father packed up his younger brother and when Star refused to run, they left without him. Star's continued to make his own way ever since.
Star is a go-to guy... if you want it, odds are he can get it or knows someone who can. He follows his own rules and doesn't have a strong attachment to money so much as currency. Currency to Star is money, items, favors, information... and pretty much anything else of value to anyone. He owns a club called The Sunset that Lance got him to repay a debt and get him out of the illegal rave "business".
Star runs very hot and very cold... but the world at large is generally only privy to the "cold". Star's often calculating, ruthless, and walks a line that calls for him to maintain awareness of his surroundings just shy of paranoia. For all that, his record's pretty clean, and his trouble mostly comes from the streets rather than the law. All the more dangerous, all the more hard. He has trust issues of the most obvious kind, and quite possibly a death wish. Or maybe he just has no respect for boundaries... or much else.

birthdate: May 8 - 24ish
sunsign: Taurus
stats:
eyes: golden yellow
hair: golden blonde
height:
weight:
build:
skintone: strawberries and cream
bio: Susie Emery, eldest child of the royal family of another world turned corporate royalty of this one, strove to do everything right. To do everything best. To prove herself. To make things happen.
She persued perfection with single-minded intent, never looking for the easy route only the best one. She gathered knowledge wherever she could get it. Traveled. Studied. Prepared.
So why, then, was she the only one passed over with powers? The only one ignored by Fate, without a destiny? Why did her youngest sister get all the love? The other sister the corporation? Her brother handed a kingdom he didn't want? Why did they get everything and she nothing? Didn't she matter?
...No matter, she matters to herself. And she'll make her own destiny, too.

height:
weight:
build: skinny but not bony
skintone: pale
other: ear "plugs", 2 hoops mid-ear on the left, industrial piercing on the right, 2 left eyebrow peircings and lipring.
bio: Ty Sullivan has the personality of an underdog... the perpetually hunted. No one can quite figure out where the problem stems as everyone seems to either shy away from his odd appearance or simply adore his shy charm.
And yet it's there. In the way he refuses eye contact. The way he stutters when he's nervous. Both the outrageous outfits he'll wear clubbing at night and the rest of his wardrobe. Drab or oversized clothing that can't be designed for anything other than to let him avoid notice, blending into the background and into crowds.
It's also there in the way he reacts. The way he'll strike first if he thinks there's a chance you're out to get him. The way he pushes people away... and in the sly intelligence in his eyes.
So. What made Ty the way he is? He's not telling.
