Rascal comes from a roughly equal heritage--Japanese on his father's side, French on his mother's. Rascal has always been small and shy, although his childhood was a little rougher than others due to his nyctophobia (irrational fear of the darkness). He was plagued by isolation and some rejection through his life because of his fears and shy nature. He doesn't eat much or socialize very often, which unfortunately resulted in him growing to only 5'4''. He has a lip piercing which he chews when he is nervous, and he works in Hot Topic with Daxal at the local teen-populated mall. He has known Jess since he was in Kindergarden, and they have become very inseparable (mostly because Jess doesn't lose track of her friends). Rascal has been going through therapy to calm his phobia, which has resulted in him becoming very sensitive and finding solace only in light. After living with his parents for quite some time, his friend Nate called for a change of pace, and they moved into Daxal's duplex. Now with Daxal as his landlord, Rascal has had some of his old insecurities and fears come back as the new situation unfolds crazy scenario after scenario for him. He hates Jack, unbeknownst to Jack, because Jack calls him 'fresh meat'. Rascal is majoring in graphic design at the local university and paints as a hobby. He has never dated anyone, but now Angelique is showing interest and he is faced with a completely new situation. WILL HE SURVIVE?!
Name: Angelique Adele Fournier
Age: 21
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Brown
Birthday: December 2, 1988
Favorite Food: Bouillabaisse, Fresh bread
Height: 5'11''
Major/Career: Modeling
The daughter of two well-established people, Angelique had a very nice and well rounded childhood. Her french father married her mother when he was very young and while he was on his travels across the world. Since both of her parents could afford it at the time, they took her to both their native countries in France and Switzerland often. Her father was always a bit dissatisfied with his career, and when she was about to turn 8, her parents divorced. Her father had fallen in love with another man who was rising in an industry which he had been interested in, and her parents realized that what they had wasn't working. Although it was painful for Angie at the time, she has been encouraged to love both her parents and to accept their choices since they both accepted it as well. Her father's significant other actually turned out to be a great connection for her choice of modeling career. Her mother has been dating on and off since then, but has been doing quite well. Both her parents support her and are on good terms, and she has high aspirations for her modeling career. She has unfortunately had bad taste in men, going mostly for muscles and looks, and getting cheated on several times. Her mother is best friends with Rascal's mother, but they have yet to find this out. She actually has become enamored with Rascal since he is small and sweet, very different from what she would usually go for. She just wants to settle down, MAN! Give her a chance!
Name: Tobias Vincent Grey
Age: 21 (And a drunk)
Hair: White (sexy)
Eyes: Light blue
Birthday: TBD 1988
Favorite Food: Bananas
Height: 5'11''
Major/Career: Currently fashion design, switch to pre-business
Toby was born a platinum blond boy who ended up getting a head of grey hair very young. His father is mostly to blame for this, but he wears it well by keeping it long. However, because of his almost too skinny frame, long hair, long facial features, and Fashion Design major at SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design), he is often thought to be more interested in men than women. He has a younger sister named Piper, some persian cats, and can play the harp. Known for his formality, focus, and sense of wit, Toby is trying to get into an ambitious internship in the Fashion Design industry. He is very good friends with Izz since he used to live very close to her, and he gets along well with Jess. He always introduces himself by his full name and wears well-tailored, color (or lack of color) coordinated clothing, and is known to be neat, which doesn't help the rumors. Despite his small frame, he has a masculine voice, hands, and choice of roommate (just kidding). For some insane reason, he and Jack get along in a very nice bromance and are rooming together in a new house. Toby has become stuck between a very painful love triangle and is trying to squeeze out of it and focus on his life, but things are getting weird now that he knows Jack.
Name: Tyler Stryker Tanner
Age: 21
Hair: Brown-red
Eyes: Brown
Birthday: November 18, 1988
Height: 5'10''
Favorite Food: Lobster, Spaghetti, Steak, Apricots
Major/Career: [Mathematics? Science?]
Tyler has always been pretty good at math, a subject most students hated. This always gave him some popularity when it came to test time, but he began having trouble fitting in in Middle School. He tried the dating game for a bit, but it only made him feel more miserable and isolated. Luckily, he met a girl who felt much the same way and was good at math towards the end, and they hit off as friends. It was in High School that Tyler began noticing that he really liked Carrie but wouldn't want to date her when people pressured him, and he also noticed guys seemed a lot more attractive to him. In denial for a bit, he began noticing that he really was attracted to guys, especially in close-encounters or if they touched his hand and such. The only person he trusted to tell was Carrie, who brilliantly decided that they were both struggling with pressure to go out with someone, so they should pretend to go out. It worked pretty well for both of them at first, but it had been hard for Tyler to live with the lie, especially when they were expected to be affectionate. Carrie had a long-term crush on Ashley, a big guy who she knew was too good for her, and soon enough Tyler was attracted to him as well. He kept this a secret, and Carrie now began pressuring him to come out since they were, afterall, in college. Tyler was still struggling with himself and his preferences until he met Travis, who pulled it out of him completely. With no way to hid it anymore, Carrie, who disapproved of him being involved with someone who clearly had problems, forced him to come out to his parents by phone. They were accepting but slightly shocked, and now Tyler has a huge weight off of his chest, but he has a lot more problems to deal with. He has to sort out the rift between him and Carrie because of his first boyfriends' past, he has to figure out his boyfriends' past himself, and he had to be written with Travis right now!!!

Major/Career: Security guard
Travis, previously known as just "Skinner", has had a very painful and troubled past which still leaves some heavy ghosts in his life today. His mother left, and his father never really paid him much mind. Neglect led to worse than rebellion when he began to seek masochism as a form of pleasure since care was scarce or not available at all in his life. He's been framed very fully as the "bad guy" because of this serious issue and how heavily it ruled his adolescent and teen life. During his high school years, he participated in rebellious activities with a 'gang' of kids--one of whom was Tatts--involving some drugs, smoking after school, skipping class, taunting, and beatings. One of the members was a young freshman who was swept into these activities, resulting in him being kicked out by his school and family. Brandon has then since been helping his brother achieve the future that was ripped away from him, and he largely blames Travis for this. Travis at the time had fully enjoyed pain to the point of taunting others into hurting him, sometimes resulting in close-to-severe beatings just so he could bleed. He has been attracted to both genders, although he used to prefer a more violent or quick-to-anger date than someone who wouldn't give him any attention, even if it was abusive. There was one case where he made a flirtatious remark about Tatts' sister, and he ended up beaten so badly that he was hospitalized, breaking Tatts' nose in the process. Travis also had a professional scarification done on his upper back forming the word 'Pleasure'. After seven years of therapy, a new direction in life, and moving to another state, Travis still had remnants of his past haunt him. He would still date abusive people unknowingly, although now harshness and pain actually hurt. His scarification, a mistake he can never remove, has also been giving him haunting memories. Upon returning to his home city, which brought back enough bad memories in and of itself, he attempted to make amends with himself by getting another, smaller scarification--'Pain'--done on his lower back. The pain was too much to bear, showing the effects of his therapy, and he dropped the issue. He had been in the habit of dating men more often than women because men were more quick to anger, but now he realizes that his current boyfriend is straight and actually not interested in him at all. Just when things can't seem to get worse at a bar fight break-up between them after he confronts his boyfriend about purposeful bruises left on his arm, us girl authors hate seeing Travis suffer. SO he meets Tyler, who actually cares about how Travis feels about the fight, because he hates to see another guy be discriminated against for liking guys. Alas, love?
