Name: James (Jimmy) Henry Barrow
Role: Student
Appearance:
Height and Weight: 6'0", 172 lbs
Short-bio: Jimmy was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, but his mother and father moved to Burkburnett Texas when he was two years old. They were poor, but not poverty stricken, and they lived a comfortable if cramped life. He did wear a lot of hand me down clothes however, but he didn't care much. His father left when he was young, using the classic excuse of "Im heading out for some cigarettes," and then he never returned. When Jimmy got older, he found it kind of funny that his father had become a stereotype. He became friends with another boy from town when he was young, a native american boy named Joseph, who's family farmed sheep outside of town. The two were inseparable, and made an unceasing ruckus from the time they were old enough to walk and onward. Both frequently were in trouble at school, and often were known for getting into fistfights.
When Jimmy was young, he began to play guitar, and fell in love with the instrument. He loved old country music, and as he listened his interest grew to encompass all music in general. There was really nothing he didnt like, but he was particularly focused on country, bluegrass and Americana music. He felt it fit him well, and the stories of life in american resonated for a young man growing up in the Texas plains. In his music, he saw himself, and developed a dream of becoming a country singer one day. He fell in love with a musician named Joe Fletcher in particular, who was known by practically no one but who Jimmy thought was the greatest thing since sliced bread.
When Jimmy was 16, he became the first in his grade to get a car, a shitty old For Bronco that he spent the following summer restoring with all the money he could spare from his paychecks. In the end, it turned out looking like a prop from a movie, just a little scruffy, but with the patched together charm of something deeply loved. However, when it came to cars, Jimmy was beat by Joseph, who spent a year trading up cars until he was able to buy and original 1988 Camaro IROC. To say that Jimmy was jealous would be an understatement, but Joseph made up for it by frequently taking Jimmy with him, the two boys riding around town and listening to music as they tried to pick up girls. Joseph was often more successful, being attractive, owning a cool car, and having the added mystique of being the only native american boy in town the same age as any girls. Jimmy however, despite his often goofy and wild personality did meet someone, a girl named Emma. After an odd first few months of knowing each other, their relationship grew stronger, going from being friends to. . . something more. But, they were a good match, and Jimmy always loved how she would tell him he was like a puppy, or run her hands through his hair.
Jimmy however, though smart, had an incredibly hard time paying attention. He got awful grades, due to his tendency to not show up and spend his time driving around town, smoking weed and drinking beer with his buddies, or playing guitar. His teachers always admonished him for this, saying that he had a clear intelligence, but that they just didn't know what to do with him. He had been held back before in eighth grade, and as his Sophomore year in high school came to a close, he knew he wouldn't be able to make it in Junior year. He dropped out briefly and began to work, doing prep in a local restaurant. However, he was bored, and knew in his head he was to smart to be a dropout. It invigorated him to try and figure something out, and at his mothers behest, he got in touch with an aunt. While his immediate family was poor, his mothers extended family was more middle class, but her sister was something else. She was a kind of rich Jimmy couldnt even fathom, having gone to Milford-Gaudier on a scholarship and marrying a New Orleans lawyer. Jimmy called her, and asked her for help. She agreed to help Jimmy, and told him she would pull as many strings as she could to get him medication, and back in school. He packed up his old Bronco, hugged Joseph and kissed Emma goodbye, promising to stay in touch, before driving East to New Orleans.
His aunt, he found, was a piece of shit. She was vain and shallow, and was far to caught up in ridiculous drama with the other rich ladies at her country club. Her life reminded him of his old high school, and he quickly found himself being carted around by his aunt while she helped him get into Milford-Gaudier, and he was shown off like a prize show pony. His aunt seemed determined to use him as an example of how much more virtuous and kind she was than her peer's, like he was a poor uneducated bumpkin in need of saving by his virtuous savior. Jimmy hated her, but was smart enough to recognize her uses, and took a perverse pleasure in playing his guitar to annoy her. She hated the music he loved, and complained whenever he would play his favorite songs. He acted nice, but he knew it bothered her, and so he kept it up until everything was squared away. He had been diagnosed with ADHD, given medication, and his aunt had managed to secure him a place at Milford-Gaudier. His two older cousins, Chip and Lily had both gone as well, and made sure to tell him that he wouldn't fit in there if he kept on wearing boots and playing the kind of music he played. He ignored them however, knowing that they meant no insult and were just trying to look out for their cousin. Finally, he was flown up to JFK International with his aunt and uncle, and signed in as an eighteen year old Junior at Milford-Gaudier Academy. It was beautiful, fancy and rich, and Jimmy felt out of place. But, it was one of the best private schools in the nations, and Jimmy couldn't get over the feeling that he had done pretty well for a poor trailer park kid from Texas.

Name: Lyanna Chambers
Role: Student
Appearance:
Height and Weight: 5'7", 125 pounds, a little on the skinny side if anything, but generally average.
Short-bio: Honestly, there is really not that much to say about her life. While personality wise, she is a strange one, as her life goes, its been rather uneventful. She was born in Portland, Oregon, and then eventually her parents decided to move to the east coast, all the way over in the New York City area, though in the outskirts because the city itself was so expensive. And really, beyond that, it was simply going on about her life. Somehow she has managed to not get herself into too much trouble, though she has gotten in trouble a few times. Mostly others that she got involved with did, though, like the bullies back when she was young. But she has taken things a bit too far in the past nonetheless, or just got in trouble because of, well, being kind of scandalous at times.
Seems to have a fascination with combat. Not so much to join the military or something, but she likes swords, kung-fu, boxing, and various other forms of hand to hand combat or sword fighting. She has done some fencing classes in the past, but for obvious reasons, she did not take the sword with her. However, it is at home, which isn't all that far away from school, so she could, and probably will, partake in such a thing again in the future. She is also new to this school, as it was this year that her and her parents had decided to give it a try. You would think that she would have been here for years, but not really. This might not actually go all too well, having her in a private school environment instead of a public school environment, but nonetheless, here she was.
Also seems to have an obsession with tech, and loves to read up on new tech news and such like that. Probably would be the sort to experiment with augments when they ever become a thing. This also goes over into her own life, and she has stuff like an HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and so on. Just various weird tech gadgets. This also lead to her knowing a lot about tech in general, and computers, seeming to be good with them all. On top of it all, she did get lead to, well, less savory things, like hacking, but she doesn't really utilize it much, just thought that it would be a cool thing to learn how to do. And who knows. Maybe it WOULD find some practical use someday.
And besides that, pretty much everything else about her was covered. She is rather basic in the history sense, but a little more bizarre and interesting in pretty much everything else.
ADDITIONAL SUGGESTED INFORMATION
Birthday: September 23rd, 2002
Hometown: Portland, Oregon, United States
Personality: Lyanna seems to be a bit of an odd one. Not majorly so like some people, but she has some weird social behaviors, and makes weird jokes and comments at random. She's not really rude, most of the time, but she's not really afraid to call someone an asshole if they are one. She seems to pretty openly stand up to people being bullied, and not really afraid to go full on attack mode on a bully if they end up being too much trouble. Pretty openly swears, but the way that she does it, and some of the insults that pop into her head at random are...rather interesting. Seems to have random odd moments where she just like, high fives people enthusiastically if they want to, or gives them a fist bump. While not seeming overly cheery a lot of the time, or down for that matter, she does seem to get "hyped up" a lot at random sometimes. Seems to become rather stubborn at times, for better or worse depending on the situation. Is a bit of an adventurous sort, and just like before, for better or worse, as that can go bad sometimes. Isn't a fan of taking anyone's shit, so she usually expresses her distaste for anyone being a pain in the ass. Has odd behavioral traits in general, which can come off as annoying to others, or make them uncomfortable. Acts rather "improper" a lot in general, and rather inappropriate. Not entirely in the sexual sense, as she's pretty mild sexually in some sense. She does seem to have moments of just kissing people, or sometimes even make out, but the relationships seem to always be a short term thing on impulse at random, and oftentimes she barely knows them and they don't last any longer than a couple of days of just, well, kissing. Never anything beyond that, though. So it all just comes off as rather...off and bizarre how she approaches lots of it. Does seem to like to party sometimes, but also isn't always into the whole full on crazy party stuff, and doesn't even really drink or do drugs or any of that sort of thing. Just parties. Overall, though, she does seem to generally be caring, and would fight rather hard for any friends of hers, she's just a little...odd and all over the place.
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual, with a slight lean towards a preference of males.
Likes: Technology, technological advancements, hacking, investigating weird stuff she reads about, doing research, sword fighting, kung-fu, hand-to-hand combat, boxing to an extent, robots, A.I., random weird gadgets, boys, girls, oddities, kissing, vegetables, combat history, military history, history in general to some degree, science, ect.
Dislikes: Bullies (Has kicked them in the nuts in the past), anyone who has a superior complex, anyone overly rude really, people who are clueless about technology (just frustrates her), computer viruses, needy people, thirsty people (You know, THOSE people), most fruits, politics, politicians, government a lot of the time, English, ect
Skills: 1.Seems to have investigative skills, oddly enough, and does seem to enjoy it. Be it, say, in a situation where they need to dig up information on a location, she seems oddly good at that.
2.Has some hacking abilities, though doesn't tend to actually use it for much. But they're there...
3.Computer and tech knowledge in general it seems
4.Seems to have some basic self defense knowledge, and is still learning more.
5.Basic skills in sword fighting.
Disorders/Handicaps: If anything, maybe ADD, but probably not a major case of it. But its there. Besides that, she does seem to have some behavioral issues, where she doesn't exactly behave appropriately like she probably should be in some social situations, coming off as rather awkward, inappropriate, and so on because of it.
Fears, Wishes, and Goals: Fears: A fear of heights, which doesn't seem major but does bother her. Same with a fear of flying. And a fear of water, which also doesn't seem major but does unsettle her. Seems to have a fear of making big life decisions, or big decisions in general. Seems to have a fear of commitment to...well, anything really, be it a relationship, a career, or some hobby. Seems to have a slight fear of actual sexual intercourse, despite her personality traits, pushing anyone away if they ended up wanting to go that far. Slight fear of loneliness. Seems to also have a fear of dying, but oddly at the same time doesn't seem to terribly care if she died early. But when faced with it directly? That's a different story. Bit of a fear of the new, like going to a school. Probably a fear of medications a bit. A fear of actually falling in love with someone. Likely related to the fear of water, a fear of being in the sea or on the sea. Also has no interest in the whole childbirth thing, so that is probably part of her fear.
Wishes: Honestly, nothing in particular. Pretty much just to live her life.
Goals: Just to make it through high school without anything horribly going wrong, really.
Distinguishing Marks: Nothing particularly noteworthy.
Voice: Lily Loveless, but probably less of a British accent.
Other: Snipper of Music Taste: Gorillaz when they're hip-hop, Run the Jewels, Killer Mike, Eminem, OutKast, Clipping, El-P, Kendrick Lamar, Dalek, Death Grips, Aesop Rock, Busdriver, Danny Brown, Shabazz Palaces, Kanye West, ect.
Snipper of Style: this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, and weird shit like this being more common for her.
Potato salad goes great with ketchup.
Accepted. Though it's odd she dislikes the language she speaks.

REQUIRED INFORMATION
Name: Claudia Steinfeld
Role: Student
Appearance:
Height and Weight: 5'6" and 128 pounds
Short-bio: Claudia was born into a privileged lifestyle, as her parents had been successful from an early age, as they had all gotten successful degrees in their respective career paths. As she grew up, they had just become even more successful. Her mother was a CEO of a fairly big, mostly local business, and her dad was a highly successful New York City lawyer. So as you can expect, there wasn't much suffering in the income department. In fact, this led to her getting a lot of the most expensive stuff, in clothes and phones alike. While she didn't tend to entirely let it get to her head, she was a little out of touch at times. She wants to understand, though, she just comes off as kind of out of the loop at how poorly off some people are, because she's never had any issues with stuff like buying $100 to $1,000 clothes items, or getting the latest IPhone or IPad. However, she was never a spoiled rich brat. She never really gave her money to others, except friends, but she didn't act rich and spoiled and nagged her parents for everything. She asked, sure, but they never overly spoiled her in ridiculous ways. And they taught her valuable life lessons. She had a good business sense like her mom, (Edit). And she developed her own dreams at a very young age, that being fashion design and model. Her parents jobs would definitely help, so she got a lot of advice from them on how to work towards potentially running a business. She studied hard in the things that she cared about that would help her get to these goals, though fell behind in the things that she cared less about.
Because of her parents money, they had managed to get their daughter into some modeling at a young age, for some local stuff, because she wanted to. She still does stuff for some local magazines and business advertisements to this day, and that's somewhat why she has as much clothes as she does, because a lot of it was given to her for her work. This had made her a decent sum of money for her own work in her own life, for herself, so she was able to pay for herself to some degree. And she rather enjoyed it, though she dreamed about being the designers of said clothes, and not just the model for them.
Of course, on top of this, her family also lived in a rather nice apartment, It had always been high living in that department, her parents having expensive cars, and their apartment in general being expensive with expensive furniture. Though it wasn't so ridiculously out there like some of those super rich houses, but it was rather nice nonetheless. Claudia missed it at times, but was happy where she was as well. And its not like she didn't regularly get to see it.
Her parents had always focused on giving her the best of educations that money could buy, but when she turned 14, they had decided, and with her own suggestions of it, that she went to a boarding school. One reason was her family was always busy, so they thought it best. That said, her parents visit her regularly, and her them, when they can. Her parents of course helped with that whole part of presumably paying for boarding and all that. And so, now she was here, going on her 3rd year at the school, excited for what the new year would bring into her life. Crazy parties? Getting a boyfriend? Drama? Who knows, but she was ready.
ADDITIONAL SUGGESTED INFORMATION
Birthday: August 21st, 2003
Hometown: Brooklyn, New York
Personality: Claudia tends to be a little bit of a quirky character. Not blatantly so like some people, but its there nonetheless. She has always been rather sociable, too, seeming to do well with groups of friends. Like, she prefers to hang out with people and groups of friends over any sort of isolation. So presumably, she just knows a lot of people here that she hangs out with, even if simply as background characters, as this is her 3rd year here and there is no way she would have gone 2 years without getting to know people. Seems to generally be a friendly sort, too. Maybe not overly so, but friendly nonetheless. Always rather fashionable, seemingly making personality statements, so to speak, with her styles of the day. Which change pretty much every day. While nice, does seem to fall into the whole crowd of big groups of friends sometimes, and does seem to get amusement at the suspense of others sometimes. Usually when they legitimately deserve it, though, but still not always the nicest thing. Isn't a fan of actual bullying in general, though. More gets amusement out of bullies sometimes getting what they deserve, or at people "trying too hard", sometimes involving trying to impress her. Has an ambitious personality, though doesn't seem to worry about working your ass off, either. Though she does plan to put a lot of effort into her dreams. Rarely gets outright angry, more annoyed then anything. Has romantic interests, and would someday like to have a boyfriend, get married, and maybe someday have kids and all that, but doesn't really go out of her way to find anyone, preferring it to happen naturally. Could probably be flirty when she wants to be, but doesn't go out of her way for it and would likely more leave it to flirtatious interactions with a boyfriend. Likes to party, though isn't really a fan of those big teen parties where everyone gets wasted and does stupid shit, preferring other types of parties. Doesn't mean she might not go to one to experience it, though.
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual, and likely a bit of homosexuality, though not a ton. Its more that she's sexually attracted to boys, but can find girls physically attractive pretty easily. Just might not so much want intimate relationships with them. Doesn't rule out experimentation, probably.
Likes: Fashion, fashion designing, jewelry, makeup, good cleaning products, modeling, history, literature, writing, language in general, grammar, French, experiencing different cultures, varied high end foods, fashion shows, fashion magazines, celebrities, business culture, management, parties, dance music, some pop music (Mostly synthpop), particular types of hip-hop, her parents, friends, shopping, malls, money, plays, various types of shows in general, ect.
Dislikes: Egotistical people, and braggers. People that tell you your dream isn't doable because they couldn't do it themselves, major bullies, quitters, trolls, poorly run businesses, metal, most rock, celebrity tabloids (At least the extremely terrible ones)mood killers, drama queens, science, math, ect.
Skills: 1.Is rather good at knowing, and learning history, it seeming to stay in her mind quite well. She probably knows random history related stuff.
2.Is also good at English and Literature and all that sort of thing. Her grammar is good because of that, and she can be well spoken and might write some books too.
3.Has a knack for being good at picking fashion. She can pick what works well for herself, and others alike, and if someone wants help with that, she will help
4.Very good at speaking French, which makes her happy because she always liked the sound of the French language (And no, not Canadian French, though she'd probably try to learn if offered)
5.Good at modeling, too, as she had done a lot of practice with all the "moves" you have to make for modeling, or photo shoots to model some clothes.
Disorders/Handicaps: Nothing super defining, though I'm sure there is something because everyone has something.
Fears, Wishes, and Goals: Fears: A slight fear of heights (though oddly not in planes), slight fear of wild animals, depending on what they are. Slight fear of isolation, due to her social behavior, and a slight fear of spiders. A slight fear of dentists. Slight fear of firearms, though isn't against trying them someday. Slight fear of being out of mobile phone contact. Slight few of ever needing to be medicated for something, because she knows drugs can be addicting. And a fear of failure is her most prominent one.
Wishes: Get married, though everything in goals is a bigger priority than marriage. But she wouldn't really mind adding on marriage someday. That the world can live in harmony together, as she see's a clash of cultures creating some amazing things (even if it inevitably causes problems, too). Its not that she's some peace loving hippy, but she loves to see cultures collide and make something amazing, and in her mind, who the hell doesn't want to try other cultures amazing foods? Probably others.
Goals: Become as successful as her parents are, if not more so. Open up her own fashion line someday. Maybe open up her own modeling business in general. Try to become the best that she can be. Go to college and graduate with some good degrees.
Distinguishing Marks: Not really distinguishing so to speak, but she does have pierced ears. Oftentimes wears some form of jewelry, too. Besides that, nothing really super noteworthy that's visible.
