Gay, Straight, bisexual, undecided?: straight

Please Give some backround info about your character:

She's dark and brooding looking and comes off as a bitch to those who don't know her well: namely anyone ditzy or popular. Which has to do largely with the fact that they've labelled her a lesbian because of the way she dresses. She has a tendancy to wear baggier or darker clothes.

Age: 22

Job Position: Senior at Pitt/Hot Topic Employee

Family: Mom, Aubrey; Dad, Joshua; two brothers, Harper and Roscoe; a sister, Rosie

Gay, Straight, bisexual, undecided?: Lesbian

Please Give some backround info about your character:

Juliet is the first born of the Christiansons and she has a secret. The only person who knows about her orientation is her brother Rosoce, mostly because she's afraid how her parents will react. She appears confident and free about her sexuality, but she's really tight knit with her family and doesn't want to destroy that bond.

She first realized she was gay in junior high, when she fell in love with her best friend Diana. They were both gothy, kind of emo kids and Juliet thought they might work, especially when Di mentioned she was bi-curious. However, before she could confess her feelings, Di got a boyfriend. Juliet had a hard time with life, especially after that - she went into a depressed, self-destructive phase that she kept hidden until Roscoe found out. He was her therapy and he helped her find herself again.

Now, only slightly unstable (^^, she's living in college and trying to make the best of her freedom - while she can.

Only her parents really did cut off all of her money, and now she's forced to work all the time to pay her own way through college. What she really wants to do is write lyrics and sing, so she’s majoring in music theory. As a backup, she’s minoring in journalism. She is practical, deep down!

Age: 19

Job Position: Freshman at Pitt

While she is going to school for a major in Chinese (foreign communications, etc), she has an aspiration to become a singer/guitarist, even though she has no bandmates or contact in the music industry. Open mic nights are her best friend and she even spends class-free afternoons in the park, playing for spare change. Most of her songs are personal, ironic, or sarcastic, but they're clever and she's hoping that maybe one day a fabulous producer will hear her lovely chords and come knocking on her door (not her door literally... I mean, she lives in a dorm room, so that'd be kind of awkward, a record producer wandering around campus... so, more like a metaphorical door).

Quite literally Father Malachi.

Other than that, Noah's a normal teenage boy. He has friends, is looking for a job, and plans on going to college after the school year is over. His parents want him to go to a Christian college, but he probably won't. At least, not if he can stand up to his parents and convince them otherwise.

Since most of the money in his family went toward booze, they moved in with his father's mother, a cantankerous religion freak who would scold and preach to them for their faults.

With that background, Kirkland has grown up to become a cold man, always using religion as a front for his own personal beliefs and striking out against others with it. He's a hard-working man, but he's also cruel and antagonizing; everything his father wasn't.
