Gloria Ackerman!?
Civilian- 20 (18)- The Dropout
Gloria has been independent since the day she turned sixteen. She dropped out of high school, moved out of her home and out of her town. She crossed state lines to get away from her birth place. When she arrived in Bay Valley, she lied about her age - stating she was two years older than she actually was - so she could qualify for an apartment. Since, she's had an array of jobs keeping her income steady - but her lacking of obvious qualifications makes her an ideal target when firing someone due to cutbacks. Gloria is street-savvy and often has to turn to methods of money making which she'd rather not think about.
Few Anderson!?
High School Sophomore- 16- Genius Next Door
Newbie to Bay Valley, Fey has managed to keep it under wraps that she is some kind of genius child. She has a waitressing job at the local diner, owned by the Neilsons, and keeps to herself. At school she's often seen skulking through the corridors, book in hand and not looking where she's going. She tries to avoid conversation, for it leads to friendship which is something she's not particularly looking for. Her main reason for staying out of the lime light is that she's a runaway, and fears attention will lead to being sent home. She lives at the seedy motel on the outskirts of town.
Darius Blackwell!?
Civilian- 44- Forgotten Daddy
Darius Blackwell is the unassuming owner of the book store. He prefers to keep to his own and has been in love once. With a girl from England who visited a relative one summer. One Lucy Brennan. They had the magical summer: they fell in love, spent all their time together and couldn't have wished for a better summer. Then she disappeared, returned to England, he presumed and he didn't hear from her for twenty-odd years. She contacted him, telling him of their son but made him swear to let Alexander believe that he is his uncle. Darius is in two minds about it all.
Alexander Brennan!?
High School Senior- 19- Exchange Student
Alexander Brennan was born in England and raised by his single mother. He never knew his father, only that he was American and lived in these parts. From a young age he took an active interest in the area, researching the college and exchange student policies. In the end, he opted for taking a gap year before attending the local college. His mother finally let onto one detail of his father, that his brother lived there - Darius Blackwell. So in his gap year, Alexander is living with his uncle and attending the High School to experience the culture and to accustom himself to the different teaching style. There is a strong resemblance between himself and his uncle, but doesn't acknowledge it.
Gregory Bryant!?
University Senior- 25- The Try-Hard Kid
For Gregory it seems that he has to fail a year before he can pass it. He re-took Junior and Senior year at high school and Sophomore year of University. He's hoping for this to be his last year in education - one way or another. He has a part time job at the local bookstore, owned by Darius Blackwell, and intends of being full-time if he can't pass his final year of University. But he wants to get his Sociology degree, even if it kills him - he's worked so hard for it. It would seem a waste if he didn't pass now.
Claire Chandler!?
Civilian- 19- Little Angel
Claire moved to five years ago and for the first two, she avoided William like the plague - despite his best efforts. After two years of his persistent attempts to charm her, Claire humored him and actually found she quite liked him. But he had to lose the bad-boy act. She made him choose between her or his way of life. It made her obscenely happy that he chose her. It took a while for his bad-boy habits to fade, but by the time they reached senior year at Courtsworth he was the perfect gentleman. On their graduation day, he got down on one knee - three weeks later they were Mr. and Mrs. Chandler. But now the honeymoon period has passed, Claire is beginning to see his old ways creep back in, which has her and her sister-in-law worried.
Player can choose maiden name.
Vanessa Chandler!?
University Junior- 23- The Fallback
Vanessa is the older, un-married sister of William. In their younger years, the pair never used to see eye to eye but now they are the best of friends. This all came about when William started dating Claire. William had always been a bit of a troubled soul and Vanessa could see that this girl had done what she couldn't - change him for the better. Vanessa gets on wonderfully with her sister-in-law, but is now worried about the fact that her good work is coming undone. Although he denies it, Vanessa has her suspicions about his involvement with local bad-boy Shane Stanton. And she knows that when it comes down to it, she will have to bail him out - just like every other time.
William Chandler!?
Civilian- 20- Unstable
William's life has been back and forth between being the good-guy and the bad-guy. When he was little, he was a mama's boy but when he started Middle School things started going downhill. He fell into bad crowds, picked fights and was in and out of school on suspension. Then he met Claire and she turned his life around. He had to change even to get her to talk to him. So he changed his ways, his looks and the way he dressed. He became the good guy again. After graduation he proposed and they were married before the summer ended. But recently an encounter with Shane Stanton has led him astray again. He's trying to fight it and keep it from his wife and sister, but things aren't going according to plan; he can't seem to fight the impulse to be bad and lie and cheat.
Timothy Downs!?
High School Junior- 17- Bully
Get on the wrong side of Timothy and he will make your life hell. He's tall, well-muscled and rather intimidating. Plus he's got enough brains to know how to find someone's weak spot, rather than just shoving their heads down a toilet. And he has connections in high places, just in case he needs it. He mostly targets people who are shorter than he - which is most - and cares naught for age or gender. Years of aggressive behavior has meant he's perfected the scowl but really, deep down all he wants is to be loved. He just has a funny way of showing this desire.
James Fletcher!?
University Freshman- 18- Social Butterfly
James is the life and soul of any party and pretty much always has been. He has this gift for smoothing out any rough patch between people, due to his charm, charisma and ability to talk to anyone. He tries to keep his love life low key, but when one has so many friends it becomes a little hard. He's often called upon jokingly about his girlfriends by his mates, which he finds a little annoying - but tolerable, for now. James does have this un-tapped anger that lashes out every now and then. One of his last girlfriends was Jacqueline Knowles and is potentially the father of her baby - not that he knows he is.
Chester Hewitt!?
Civilian- 31- Lonely Soul
Chester Hewitt is a single parent, his daughter the spoilt Jordin. He cannot help but indulge his daughter's every whim for he lost her mother, Alexa. She died during child birth and it broke Chester's heart. The only whim he cannot indulge of his daughter's is information on her mother - he can't bring himself to talk about her. Recently, it seems another woman has taken interest in him - the glamorous Vegas Montgomery. But every advance scares him.
Jordin Hewitt!?
High School Freshman- 14- Daddy’s Little Princess
Doted upon by her father, Jordin is spoiled rotten and expects to get her own way wherever she may be. Believing homework to be a waste of her time, Jordin spends most of her time perfecting her "look" and ensuring that her father is wrapped around her little finger instead of doing it. She puts on the puppy dog eyes for teachers to get out of trouble and has her own little minion (Oliver Reid) to order around. She knows that he’s in love with her and works it to her every advantage.
Matthew Holloway!?
High School Sophomore- 16- The Composer
Matthew has an extraordinary talent for music. He just has the ear for it. He's been taught piano and guitar but can write a piece of music for any instrument. He's often called upon to write the scores for school plays and drama pieces written by a local writer or a member of the staff. He enjoys doing it, but would rather write his own songs and compile them onto an album. His lifetime dream is to become a well-respected mal musician whose albums aren't just bought for Mother's Day. He has an odd collection of influences, from Regina Spektor to Jools Holland to Muse and even to some of the more twee "bubblegum" musicians.
Keith Justice!?
High School Freshman- 15- Heartbreaker
Keith is devastatingly good-looking - winning smile, twinkly eyes and perfectly styled hair. And to top it off, he comes across as a really nice guy. Charming, kind and sweet - he's pretty much got girls falling over him. Every girl he dates, he swears his heart to her and her alone. But little do they know he's said it before, and usually just an hour or so before. He always has at least three girlfriends on the go and the only ones that don't know are the girls themselves. He likes to think of himself as a bit of a John Tucker, but meaner, for he likes to break up with them in the most humiliating ways he can think of.
Jacqueline Knowles!?
High School Senior- 19- Yummy Mummy
Jac is re-sitting her senior year and only a few people know why. Last year she was absent from October onwards after vomiting in a history lesson. Most people had her pegged as ill when she didn't return for the first week. But when the weeks turned into months, they suspected that she'd either died or was seriously ill. Little did they know, she was pregnant and had been sent to live with her aunt - her family didn't want to be the butt of idle gossips. Once the baby was born, Jac agreed to return to in September, so she could graduate high school. Her child and aunt came with her, but everyone thinks the baby is her cousin for her aunt plays mummy for the crowd. When she graduates, Jac wants to tell everyone that she's the mother, but she cannot reveal the father, for she isn't sure who it is - James Fletcher or Shane Stanton.
Gender/Name of the baby is up to the player.
Zoe Lancaster!?
High School Senior- Petty Criminal
On the outside, Zoe seems like a perfectly honest young woman. She's pleasant, polite; the sort of girl who'd offer to take the bags of a senior civilian. What they don't see is that she's got her hand in the bags and steals anything good her crafty fingers find. Her partner in crime is fellow high school senior Ryan Percival, who is also her boyfriend of two years. After graduation, they intend on pulling off a big crime - robbing the local bank - before running off to elope. What she doesn't know is that he's already cheating on her, even though he regales her with words of love.
Piper Lawson!?
University Senior- 22- Pseudo Student
For all intents and purposes, Piper Lawson is a successful Senior at CU studying Math. But little does the rest of the world know is that she's cheating. And has been for a while. No one knows how she does it, but she spends most of her time partying and still aces any test put in front of her. That would be because she's either memorized the answers or somehow snuck them in - or any other way of cheating. She is a seasoned pro - having been doing it since Elementary School.
Brandon Lindsey!?
University Junior- 22- All American Boy
Brandon is a sports guy. He got into CU on a Sports Scholarship and is now studying a combined Sports and Science degree. He'd always wanted to be a doctor, but never had the brains for it so instead he's aspiring to be a paramedic who plays football on the side. He has a few good mates but is a little uncomfortable around girls - he's not very good at talking to them. But the one who he can talk to, he can't stand. Quinn Manicotti, from a few of his science classes. But no matter how much he tries to avoid, she can't seem to leave him alone.
Langston Louis!?
University Sophomore- 20- The Rebel
Langston lives to go against the grain. If skinny jeans are in fashion, she'll wear flares. She always did the opposite to her parent’s requests, and still does when she's at home. The administrations of the University are at their wits end with her. They want to kick her out, yet cannot pin any of the pranks on her or her accomplice - Jacob Spencer. She's also a very good student, when she does what she's told - or not what she's told as the case may be. Teachers are twigging onto her wily ways and tell her to not work.
Quinn Manicotti!?
University Junior- 21- Divided
On the outside, Quinn seems like a calm and collected gal. She's often the voice of reason and all her friends turn to her for advice. She's doing a science degree at the CU and aspires to continue on after graduating to do a Doctorate. Quinn has always wanted to be a doctor, ever since she was little. Her mother once caught her pretending to do surgery on her dolls once after watching ER. But Quinn feels herself being pulled in so many different directions. Whereas she wants to be a doctor, she's worried her friends will move on after she's graduated. She also worries a lot about her best friend Emily Truman. And there's someone else on her mind - fellow Junior Brandon Lindsey. Each of these is fighting for attention in her mind, and she never knows who to pay the attention to.
Megan Miller!?
University Senior- 23- Bipolar Panic Disorder
Megan is a mass of neuroses. Having the belief that everyone is out to get her, Megan has trust issues and her moods change quicker than you can say "zoom". She keeps her family and past under lock and key - telling no one of the horrors she experienced when she was younger. Before her parents were caught and arrested, she was used as what can only be described as a slave. Made to serve others and beaten if she misbehaved. Once they were caught, Megan was put in a foster home but by then the damage was already done. Megan is reclusive, jumpy and afraid of the world.
Vegas Montgomery!?
Civilian- 27- Minx on the Run
Vegas is the most exotic thing to grace the streets of Bay Village in a long while. She has this enigmatic quality to her and is also rather glamorous. What the people don't suspect is that she's on the run from the law, residing in the Valley under a fake name and persona to keep her safe. Since her arrival, she's been on the lookout for a means of making her identity more secure and plausible - which means marrying a local man. Her sights are set on the widower, Chester Hewitt - no matter how hard his bratty daughter makes it.
Player can choose the real name and the crime.
Britney Neilson!?
Civilian- 43- “Neili’s Mom”
Britney has lived in all her life and married her childhood sweetheart, Samuel Neilson. She went to the local university but dropped out after the first year. Instead, she opened a diner with the money left to her by an old aunt who'd recently passed away. The first or so was shaky, but as soon as the revenue was steady things began to look up. When she was 27, Britney fell pregnant with their only child - Taylor. She'd always wanted more than one child but a complication with Taylor's birth left her unable to have anymore. Over the years, Britney has kept her youthful good looks, making Taylor the butt of many MILF jokes and re-writes of "Stacy's Mom".
Player can choose maiden name.
Sam Neilson!?
Civilian- 45- Hometown Man
Samuel Neilson married his childhood sweetheart, Britney, and has lived in the town all his life. Sam, however, doesn't like this. He feels like he hasn't seen enough of the world. The night before his wedding, Sam had this revelation and almost left Britney at the altar. If it hadn't have been for his best friend making him see the light, Sam possibly would have left. To this day he hasn't told his wife of this. Or told her of his relations outside of his marriage.
Taylor Neilson!?
High School Sophomore- 16- Hometown Girl
Born to Sam and Britney, Taylor "Neili" Neilson is one of those girls who everyone knows. This could be due to the fact that both her parents have lived all their lives in the Valley and know her through association. Another reason is that she's one of those amicable people that are hard to hate. Despite this, Neili doesn't like all the attention she's given and is a bit of a misanthropist at heart. She only plays nice as to not upset her parents. One of the few people she actually likes is Zachary Penn, who she has more than a soft spot for.
Arianna O’Hara!?
High School Junior- 16- Prodigal Daughter
Arianna is a prominent member of the Courtsworth Council and a member of the Cheer Squad. She fits the bill perfectly - popular, pretty, athletic - but she also doesn't fit the bill. Unlike most of the Cheer Squad, Arianna is nice to the "little people" (as they are deemed) and she's a straight A student. She excels in most every subject, and all the teachers are pushing her to study their subject at CU. She's also being pushed towards the Ivy League colleges - Harvard, Yale, Princeton - but Arianna wants little more than to open her own bakery when she leaves Courtsworth.
Zachary Penn!?
University Freshman- 19- Almost Perfect Gentleman
With a charming smile, perfectly styled hair and impeccable clothing, Zachary has made many a girl's heart swoon. And he's one of those guys who girls love to be around; he's funny, sweet, and complimentary. But he's also gay. Something that the girls haven't noticed, much to his dismay. Some are pretty much all over him, yet he doesn't quite have the heart to tell them that he licks the other side of the stamp. He just wants to be accepted.
Nik Percival!?
University Senior- 22- Spaceman
Studying Astrophysics at College, Nik has always set his goals in the stars. He's set to get a first in his degree and already has an apprenticeship at NASA lined up. But it seems the closer he's getting to the stars, the further he wants to be away. He's realizing now what a marvelous group of friends he has and just how much he'll miss them when he leaves. You could say he's experiencing a change of heart and is having doubts about his career choices.
Ryan Percival!?
High School Senior- 17- Smooth Criminal
The younger sibling of Nik Percival, Ryan has always felt a rivalry between him and his brother - even if his brother hasn't. From a very young age he's felt the need to out-do him. If Nik made a sand castle, Ryan would have to make one with a moat and dragon. Soon this turned into a material matter; he had to have the better phone and whatnot. Though, he couldn't afford his own phone - not without criminal acts. So Ryan turned to stealing, but rather than keeping the stolen phones, he'd sell them on under fake identities and buy one honestly so it couldn't be traced back to him. In sophomore year, he hooked up with Zoe Lancaster, who was but a humble shoplifter then. Now they are planning the biggest heist of their lives before eloping after graduation.
Rebecca Phillips!?
High School Junior- 17- Liar, Liar
Rebecca is a compulsive liar - a pathological liar even. Her name changes depending on who you ask and she rarely speaks the truth. Her lies can be a little extravagant, but she tells them with such honesty it's hard to tell. Only a few people know/have realized that she doesn't speak the truth. Rebecca lies because she believes her real life is boring. Her father works in a bank, her mother teaches, she's an average student. So she tries to make herself seem as un-average as possible by lying her socks off.
Oliver Reid!?
High School Freshman- 14- The Lost Puppy
To say that Oliver is a push-over is actually an understatement. He's a push-over and then some. He tries to pass it off as gentlemanly, but most of the world views him as pathetic. When he started High School, he was instantly snapped up by the glamorous Jordin Hewitt and became her puppy. He's at her beck and call, runs errands for her and has been known to do her homework for her. The select few he calls "friends" tell him to leave her alone, but he can't. He's been madly in love with Jordin since the fourth grade and now that she's paying him attention he's reluctant to stop.
Jacob Spencer!?
University Sophomore- 20- Class Clown
Jacob is a joker, through and through. There doesn't go a day when he's not playing a prank on a teacher or a fellow student. In the early days of achieving the "Class Clown" title, he kept the simple, well-practiced pranks: whoopee cushion, super-glue on the mug, sitting the wrong way round, pretending to not speak English and whatnot. But soon the laughs died, and he knew he had to up the ante. So his pranks have become more elaborate and complicated. He often stays up half the night planning pranks. At CU he met Langston and she helped him pull off some of the more complicated pranks. A recent complication on his part is, he's realized he's in love with Langston - but she seems completely unaware.
Ian Stanton!?
University Sophomore- 20- Ego-Centric
Ian is the complete opposite to his bad-boy brother in quite a lot of ways. He abides by the law - never drinks, steals or takes drugs - he's a careful driver and he actually cares for his work. This, however, doesn't make him a nice person to be around. He's snotty, self-indulging and an egocentric maniac. He's the King of the Castle and the rest of the world's people are the dirty rascals, by his books. Ian has no friends but believes he doesn't need them, for he believes he is superior to the rest of the world. He seems oblivious of the fact he's going to spend his life alone.
Shane Stanton!?
University Junior- 21- Local Bad Boy
Unlike his goody-two-shoes (if Ian can be described that way) brother, Shane does anything he can to "rage against the machine". Drugs, alcohol, fast cars, loose women - that's the life for him. He likes to think of himself as a bit of a modern day pirate, minus the boats and pilaging - though he does like to steal. The people he's led astray include Jacqueline Knowles - he may even be the father of her child - and William Chandler. William is his latest charge, who he's taken under his crime infested wing. Shane cares naught for the damage he does, just so long as he can get that buzz.
Mackenzie Stone!?
High School Sophomore- 17- Emo Boy
Hidden behind a long fringe, dyed black, Mackenzie is the boy who'll look at you with big, sad eyes - willing you to not see him. He keeps to himself, often hiding out in the library, but likes to watch people because he thinks they are interesting - at a distance. Someone who's really caught his eye is Fey Anderson and has taken to stalking her. He knows that she lives alone in the motel, but doesn't know why. He tends to keep out of ear shot, for if he can't hear her then she can't hear him.
Hannah Sullivan!?
University Freshman- 19- Gemini One
Hannah is the forgotten twin. She has become part of the shadows and works hard with her education - rather than pissing it away like her sister. Known for her total un-interest in men, Hannah has got tongues wagging about which way she swings. She tries to ignore idle gossips and the growing feeling that they're right by throwing herself completely into her work. But she's an Art Major who often gets the painting equivalent to writer's block, which never helped anyone.
Natalie Sullivan!?
University Freshman- 19- Gemini Two
Natalie is the pretty twin, and she despises her "other half". Tall, slim and with gorgeous locks one has to wonder how she got into CU - her smarts aren't all that great, so how is she doing an English Major? She's known for her close relations to older men - so people suspect she's been seeing Deans to get her into college. But at the same time, Natalie has a reputation for being a virgin and completely frigid. So which is she - sinner or saint?
Emily Truman!?
University Sophomore- 21- Imaginative
Being a English Major - specializing in Creative Writing - Emily loves to write. She's got a few book ideas already underway and a book just shy of completion. Her plot lines are always epically imaginative - her preferred genre to be fantasy/sci-fi - and her characters always achieve the perfect combination of flaws and attributes. Yet, Emily seems to prefer he characters to real people and has created a whole world in her mind where she often loses herself. Her best friend, Quinn Manicotti, worries for her sanity.
Kyle Whitfield!?
High School Freshman- 15- Wild Child
The younger sister of Scotty, Kyle feels conflicted about her brother. She loves him dearly but finds that she's always in his shadow - he's the smarter one, the better sports-person, the nicer one. The jealousy she feels makes her angry and causes her to do stupid things - attention seeking and whatnot - rather than knuckling down and working hard. She gate-crashes college parties, gets drunk and is slowly destroys herself. Although seeing no one, she has her eyes on Zachary Penn.
Scotty Whitfield!?
High School Junior- 17- The Golden Boy
The older Whitfield child, and often deemed the "better" child, to the outside world Scotty can do no wrong. Good grades, on the football team and an all round nice chap. He's an active member of the School Council, the Year Book Council and all of the like. But he supports Timothy in his bullying ways - he is Timothy's secret connection on the Council and lets him in on a few secrets. This meaner side is kept well hidden behind his friendly exterior, and the only person who sees through it is the person he wants most - Arianna O'Hara. Despite the constant rejections, he is persistent.
Gloria Ackerman!?
Civilian- 20 (18)- The Dropout
Gloria has been independent since the day she turned sixteen. She dropped out of high school, moved out of her home and out of her town. She crossed state lines to get away from her birth place. When she arrived in Bay Valley, she lied about her age - stating she was two years older than she actually was - so she could qualify for an apartment. Since, she's had an array of jobs keeping her income steady - but her lacking of obvious qualifications makes her an ideal target when firing someone due to cutbacks. Gloria is street-savvy and often has to turn to methods of money making which she'd rather not think about.

Timothy Downs!?
High School Junior- 17- Bully
Get on the wrong side of Timothy and he will make your life hell. He's tall, well-muscled and rather intimidating. Plus he's got enough brains to know how to find someone's weak spot, rather than just shoving their heads down a toilet. And he has connections in high places, just in case he needs it.

Doted upon by her father, Jordin is spoiled rotten and expects to get her own way wherever she may be. Believing homework to be a waste of her time, Jordin spends most of her time perfecting her "look" and ensuring that her father is wrapped around her little finger instead of doing it. She puts on the puppy dog eyes for teachers to get out of trouble and has her own little minion (Oliver Reid) to order around. She knows that he’s in love with her and works it to her every advantage.
Matthew Holloway!?
High School Sophomore- 16- The Composer
Matthew has an extraordinary talent for music. He just has the ear for it. He's been taught piano and guitar but can write a piece of music for any instrument. He's often called upon to write the scores for school plays and drama pieces written by a local writer or a member of the staff. He enjoys doing it, but would rather write his own songs and compile them onto an album. His lifetime dream is to become a well-respected mal musician whose albums aren't just bought for Mother's Day. He has an odd collection of influences, from Regina Spektor to Jools Holland to Muse and even to some of the more twee "bubblegum" musicians.
Keith Justice!?
High School Freshman- 15- Heartbreaker
Keith is devastatingly good-looking - winning smile, twinkly eyes and perfectly styled hair. And to top it off, he comes across as a really nice guy. Charming, kind and sweet - he's pretty much got girls falling over him. Every girl he dates, he swears his heart to her and her alone. But little do they know he's said it before, and usually just an hour or so before. He always has at least three girlfriends on the go and the only ones that don't know are the girls themselves. He likes to think of himself as a bit of a John Tucker, but meaner, for he likes to break up with them in the most humiliating ways he can think of.
Jacqueline Knowles!?
High School Senior- 19- Yummy Mummy
Jac is re-sitting her senior year and only a few people know why. Last year she was absent from October onwards after vomiting in a history lesson. Most people had her pegged as ill when she didn't return for the first week. But when the weeks turned into months, they suspected that she'd either died or was seriously ill. Little did they know, she was pregnant and had been sent to live with her aunt - her family didn't want to be the butt of idle gossips. Once the baby was born, Jac agreed to return to in September, so she could graduate high school. Her child and aunt came with her, but everyone thinks the baby is her cousin for her aunt plays mummy for the crowd. When she graduates, Jac wants to tell everyone that she's the mother, but she cannot reveal the father, for she isn't sure who it is - James Fletcher or Shane Stanton.
Gender/Name of the baby is up to the player.
Zoe Lancaster!?
High School Senior- Petty Criminal
On the outside, Zoe seems like a perfectly honest young woman. She's pleasant, polite; the sort of girl who'd offer to take the bags of a senior civilian. What they don't see is that she's got her hand in the bags and steals anything good her crafty fingers find. Her partner in crime is fellow high school senior Ryan Percival, who is also her boyfriend of two years. After graduation, they intend on pulling off a big crime - robbing the local bank - before running off to elope. What she doesn't know is that he's already cheating on her, even though he regales her with words of love.
Piper Lawson!?
University Senior- 22- Pseudo Student
For all intents and purposes, Piper Lawson is a successful Senior at CU studying Math. But little does the rest of the world know is that she's cheating. And has been for a while. No one knows how she does it, but she spends most of her time partying and still aces any test put in front of her. That would be because she's either memorized the answers or somehow snuck them in - or any other way of cheating. She is a seasoned pro - having been doing it since Elementary School.
Brandon Lindsey!?
University Junior- 22- All American Boy
Brandon is a sports guy. He got into CU on a Sports Scholarship and is now studying a combined Sports and Science degree. He'd always wanted to be a doctor, but never had the brains for it so instead he's aspiring to be a paramedic who plays football on the side. He has a few good mates but is a little uncomfortable around girls - he's not very good at talking to them. But the one who he can talk to, he can't stand. Quinn Manicotti, from a few of his science classes. But no matter how much he tries to avoid, she can't seem to leave him alone.
University Sophomore- 20- The Rebel
Langston lives to go against the grain. If skinny jeans are in fashion, she'll wear flares. She always did the opposite to her parent’s requests, and still does when she's at home. The administrations of the University are at their wits end with her. They want to kick her out, yet cannot pin any of the pranks on her or her accomplice - Jacob Spencer. She's also a very good student, when she does what she's told - or not what she's told as the case may be. Teachers are twigging onto her wily ways and tell her to not work.
Quinn Manicotti!?
University Junior- 21- Divided
On the outside, Quinn seems like a calm and collected gal. She's often the voice of reason and all her friends turn to her for advice. She's doing a science degree at the CU and aspires to continue on after graduating to do a Doctorate. Quinn has always wanted to be a doctor, ever since she was little. Her mother once caught her pretending to do surgery on her dolls once after watching ER. But Quinn feels herself being pulled in so many different directions. Whereas she wants to be a doctor, she's worried her friends will move on after she's graduated. She also worries a lot about her best friend Emily Truman. And there's someone else on her mind - fellow Junior Brandon Lindsey. Each of these is fighting for attention in her mind, and she never knows who to pay the attention to.
Megan Miller!?
University Senior- 23- Bipolar Panic Disorder
Megan is a mass of neuroses. Having the belief that everyone is out to get her, Megan has trust issues and her moods change quicker than you can say "zoom". She keeps her family and past under lock and key - telling no one of the horrors she experienced when she was younger. Before her parents were caught and arrested, she was used as what can only be described as a slave. Made to serve others and beaten if she misbehaved. Once they were caught, Megan was put in a foster home but by then the damage was already done. Megan is reclusive, jumpy and afraid of the world.
Vegas Montgomery!?
Civilian- 27- Minx on the Run
Vegas is the most exotic thing to grace the streets of Bay Village in a long while. She has this enigmatic quality to her and is also rather glamorous. What the people don't suspect is that she's on the run from the law, residing in the Valley under a fake name and persona to keep her safe. Since her arrival, she's been on the lookout for a means of making her identity more secure and plausible - which means marrying a local man. Her sights are set on the widower, Chester Hewitt - no matter how hard his bratty daughter makes it.
Player can choose the real name and the crime.
Britney Neilson!?
Civilian- 43- “Neili’s Mom”
Britney has lived in all her life and married her childhood sweetheart, Samuel Neilson. She went to the local university but dropped out after the first year. Instead, she opened a diner with the money left to her by an old aunt who'd recently passed away. The first or so was shaky, but as soon as the revenue was steady things began to look up. When she was 27, Britney fell pregnant with their only child - Taylor. She'd always wanted more than one child but a complication with Taylor's birth left her unable to have anymore. Over the years, Britney has kept her youthful good looks, making Taylor the butt of many MILF jokes and re-writes of "Stacy's Mom".
Player can choose maiden name.
Sam Neilson!?
Civilian- 45- Hometown Man
Samuel Neilson married his childhood sweetheart, Britney, and has lived in the town all his life. Sam, however, doesn't like this. He feels like he hasn't seen enough of the world. The night before his wedding, Sam had this revelation and almost left Britney at the altar. If it hadn't have been for his best friend making him see the light, Sam possibly would have left. To this day he hasn't told his wife of this. Or told her of his relations outside of his marriage.
Taylor Neilson!?
High School Sophomore- 16- Hometown Girl
Born to Sam and Britney, Taylor "Neili" Neilson is one of those girls who everyone knows. This could be due to the fact that both her parents have lived all their lives in the Valley and know her through association. Another reason is that she's one of those amicable people that are hard to hate. Despite this, Neili doesn't like all the attention she's given and is a bit of a misanthropist at heart. She only plays nice as to not upset her parents. One of the few people she actually likes is Zachary Penn, who she has more than a soft spot for.
Arianna O’Hara!?
High School Junior- 16- Prodigal Daughter
Arianna is a prominent member of the Courtsworth Council and a member of the Cheer Squad. She fits the bill perfectly - popular, pretty, athletic - but she also doesn't fit the bill. Unlike most of the Cheer Squad, Arianna is nice to the "little people" (as they are deemed) and she's a straight A student. She excels in most every subject, and all the teachers are pushing her to study their subject at CU. She's also being pushed towards the Ivy League colleges - Harvard, Yale, Princeton - but Arianna wants little more than to open her own bakery when she leaves Courtsworth.
Zachary Penn!?
University Freshman- 19- Almost Perfect Gentleman
With a charming smile, perfectly styled hair and impeccable clothing, Zachary has made many a girl's heart swoon. And he's one of those guys who girls love to be around; he's funny, sweet, and complimentary. But he's also gay. Something that the girls haven't noticed, much to his dismay. Some are pretty much all over him, yet he doesn't quite have the heart to tell them that he licks the other side of the stamp. He just wants to be accepted.
Nik Percival!?
University Senior- 22- Spaceman
Studying Astrophysics at College, Nik has always set his goals in the stars. He's set to get a first in his degree and already has an apprenticeship at NASA lined up. But it seems the closer he's getting to the stars, the further he wants to be away. He's realizing now what a marvelous group of friends he has and just how much he'll miss them when he leaves. You could say he's experiencing a change of heart and is having doubts about his career choices.
Ryan Percival!?
High School Senior- 17- Smooth Criminal
The younger sibling of Nik Percival, Ryan has always felt a rivalry between him and his brother - even if his brother hasn't. From a very young age he's felt the need to out-do him. If Nik made a sand castle, Ryan would have to make one with a moat and dragon. Soon this turned into a material matter; he had to have the better phone and whatnot. Though, he couldn't afford his own phone - not without criminal acts. So Ryan turned to stealing, but rather than keeping the stolen phones, he'd sell them on under fake identities and buy one honestly so it couldn't be traced back to him. In sophomore year, he hooked up with Zoe Lancaster, who was but a humble shoplifter then. Now they are planning the biggest heist of their lives before eloping after graduation.
Rebecca Phillips!?
High School Junior- 17- Liar, Liar
Rebecca is a compulsive liar - a pathological liar even. Her name changes depending on who you ask and she rarely speaks the truth. Her lies can be a little extravagant, but she tells them with such honesty it's hard to tell. Only a few people know/have realized that she doesn't speak the truth. Rebecca lies because she believes her real life is boring. Her father works in a bank, her mother teaches, she's an average student. So she tries to make herself seem as un-average as possible by lying her socks off.
Oliver Reid!?
High School Freshman- 14- The Lost Puppy
To say that Oliver is a push-over is actually an understatement. He's a push-over and then some. He tries to pass it off as gentlemanly, but most of the world views him as pathetic. When he started High School, he was instantly snapped up by the glamorous Jordin Hewitt and became her puppy. He's at her beck and call, runs errands for her and has been known to do her homework for her. The select few he calls "friends" tell him to leave her alone, but he can't. He's been madly in love with Jordin since the fourth grade and now that she's paying him attention he's reluctant to stop.
University Sophomore- 20- Class Clown
Jacob is a joker, through and through. There doesn't go a day when he's not playing a prank on a teacher or a fellow student. In the early days of achieving the "Class Clown" title, he kept the simple, well-practiced pranks: whoopee cushion, super-glue on the mug, sitting the wrong way round, pretending to not speak English and whatnot. But soon the laughs died, and he knew he had to up the ante. So his pranks have become more elaborate and complicated. He often stays up half the night planning pranks. At CU he met Langston and she helped him pull off some of the more complicated pranks. A recent complication on his part is, he's realized he's in love with Langston - but she seems completely unaware.
Ian Stanton!?
University Sophomore- 20- Ego-Centric
Ian is the complete opposite to his bad-boy brother in quite a lot of ways. He abides by the law - never drinks, steals or takes drugs - he's a careful driver and he actually cares for his work. This, however, doesn't make him a nice person to be around. He's snotty, self-indulging and an egocentric maniac. He's the King of the Castle and the rest of the world's people are the dirty rascals, by his books. Ian has no friends but believes he doesn't need them, for he believes he is superior to the rest of the world. He seems oblivious of the fact he's going to spend his life alone.
Shane Stanton!?
University Junior- 21- Local Bad Boy
Unlike his goody-two-shoes (if Ian can be described that way) brother, Shane does anything he can to "rage against the machine". Drugs, alcohol, fast cars, loose women - that's the life for him. He likes to think of himself as a bit of a modern day pirate, minus the boats and pilaging - though he does like to steal. The people he's led astray include Jacqueline Knowles - he may even be the father of her child - and William Chandler. William is his latest charge, who he's taken under his crime infested wing. Shane cares naught for the damage he does, just so long as he can get that buzz.
Mackenzie Stone!?
High School Sophomore- 17- Emo Boy
Hidden behind a long fringe, dyed black, Mackenzie is the boy who'll look at you with big, sad eyes - willing you to not see him. He keeps to himself, often hiding out in the library, but likes to watch people because he thinks they are interesting - at a distance. Someone who's really caught his eye is Fey Anderson and has taken to stalking her. He knows that she lives alone in the motel, but doesn't know why. He tends to keep out of ear shot, for if he can't hear her then she can't hear him.
Hannah Sullivan!?
University Freshman- 19- Gemini One
Hannah is the forgotten twin. She has become part of the shadows and works hard with her education - rather than pissing it away like her sister. Known for her total un-interest in men, Hannah has got tongues wagging about which way she swings. She tries to ignore idle gossips and the growing feeling that they're right by throwing herself completely into her work. But she's an Art Major who often gets the painting equivalent to writer's block, which never helped anyone.
Natalie Sullivan!?
University Freshman- 19- Gemini Two
Natalie is the pretty twin, and she despises her "other half". Tall, slim and with gorgeous locks one has to wonder how she got into CU - her smarts aren't all that great, so how is she doing an English Major? She's known for her close relations to older men - so people suspect she's been seeing Deans to get her into college. But at the same time, Natalie has a reputation for being a virgin and completely frigid. So which is she - sinner or saint?
Emily Truman!?
University Sophomore- 21- Imaginative
Being a English Major - specializing in Creative Writing - Emily loves to write. She's got a few book ideas already underway and a book just shy of completion. Her plot lines are always epically imaginative - her preferred genre to be fantasy/sci-fi - and her characters always achieve the perfect combination of flaws and attributes. Yet, Emily seems to prefer he characters to real people and has created a whole world in her mind where she often loses herself. Her best friend, Quinn Manicotti, worries for her sanity.
Kyle Whitfield!?
High School Freshman- 15- Wild Child
The younger sister of Scotty, Kyle feels conflicted about her brother. She loves him dearly but finds that she's always in his shadow - he's the smarter one, the better sports-person, the nicer one. The jealousy she feels makes her angry and causes her to do stupid things - attention seeking and whatnot - rather than knuckling down and working hard. She gate-crashes college parties, gets drunk and is slowly destroys herself. Although seeing no one, she has her eyes on Zachary Penn.
Scotty Whitfield!?
High School Junior- 17- The Golden Boy
The older Whitfield child, and often deemed the "better" child, to the outside world Scotty can do no wrong. Good grades, on the football team and an all round nice chap. He's an active member of the School Council, the Year Book Council and all of the like. But he supports Timothy in his bullying ways - he is Timothy's secret connection on the Council and lets him in on a few secrets. This meaner side is kept well hidden behind his friendly exterior, and the only person who sees through it is the person he wants most - Arianna O'Hara. Despite the constant rejections, he is persistent.
