PERSONALITY

Laurel does a good job putting on an air of confidence, but she’s actually going through a bit of an identity crisis. Stuck between two worlds- the one her family lives in and the one she wants to live in- she is trying to discover who she is. The problem is, she cares too much about what other people think about her to be genuine to her own desires. Is she on her current path because it’s the one she wants, or because she is rebelling against the box her parents want her to be in? Time will tell. Afraid of having regrets, Laurel tends to act first and think of consequences second. Fun is the priority since it was put on the back burner during her childhood, but sometimes the prim and proper way she was raised bleeds through her new lifestyle. Her catchphrase would be “Rebel, but keep it classy”.

BACKSTORY

Laurel’s father, Henry Alder, comes from a respected and well-established family in England. He was a gifted violinist, playing in the London Symphony Orchestra, one of the world’s most prestigious orchestras. It was there during a run of Carmen that he met Katrina Bennet, an American opera singer, and fell in love. The pair eventually married, with approval from both their discerning families, made permanent residence in America and had two daughters. The eldest, Olivia, took after Henry and played the violin, while the youngest, Laurel, showed signs of being a piano prodigy by the age of 5.

Growing up, Laurel conformed to her parent’s strict upbringing, spending hours upon hours honing her talents rather than being a “normal” kid. Playing on stages instead of in parks, Laurel missed out on a lot of fun, and grew to envy other kids for their perceived freedoms. As she got older, the more her parents pushed her towards the piano, the more Laurel resisted, to a point that she began to hate playing.

When it came time to go to college, her parents wanted her to attend Julliard, where she’d been accepted, but Laurel rebelled, choosing to pursue a degree in marketing at a state university instead. For the first two years Laurel gave up any musical pursuits, but then she met Audrey and Rich and for the first time in her life, found herself enjoying and making music for herself with a band they’d formed with the addition of Estella. In order to expand the band’s success, Laurel dropped out of college as they went on tour.

Reunited with the piano, on her own terms, Laurel is happier and freer than she ever had been, at the cost of her parent’s and extended family’s disapproval. She tries to convince herself she doesn’t care or need their approval, but this has led to her identity crisis as she feels pulled between her classical upbringing and the path she’d been raised to follow and this more rebellious path with Midnight Society.

PERSONALITY

No one would describe Reese as a ray of sunshine. His cynical outlook on life has earned him the reputation of being rather grouchy, and he does little to correct any misconceptions. Really, Reese isn’t so much grouchy as he is a realist and practical. He doesn’t waste time on silly follies or unrealistic expectations. He is capable of having fun, usually just with those closest to him though. He is loyal to his friends and will do almost anything to help them or get them out of trouble (sometimes after helping them get in trouble first). He keeps his emotions close to his chest, which also contributes to his reputation as being grouchy and unsympathetic. All this said though, Reese used to be an optimistic, sweet, dreamer as a child before life’s hardships stole that from him.

BACKSTORY

As a young boy, Reese was a happy, creative soul with big dreams. His father, Chris, gifted him a beautiful guitar for Christmas one year, spurring Reese’s dedication to playing and his desire to one day be a famous guitarist. Unfortunately his idyllic childhood was turned upside down with the discovery that his father needed a new heart. The family quickly racked up medical bills, but his parents remained optimistic, assuring Reese that they just needed to buy more time while Chris waited on the transplant list and then everything would be okay. As a child, Reese took this literally, and pulled his prized guitar in a wagon to a pawn shop to get more money to help his father. Still an optimist and believing that good deeds reaped good outcomes, little Reese believed selling his guitar would help save his dad. Unfortunately, it didn’t and Reese learned the harsh realities of life at a young age. His father was gone, but the bills remained and his guitar ended up being the first of many things sold to pay them off. From this heartbreak, the cynical Reese was born and he turned his pain into anger towards his parents for being foolishly optimistic that everything would be okay and getting his hopes up.
Since selling his guitar and the death of his father, Reese has given up his childhood dream, and hasn’t owned a guitar or played one (except in private) since. Despite now working for a band, he hasn’t ever told any of them, not even Adam, that he ever played guitar.
Despite often finding himself in detention for talking back to teachers or getting into trouble, Reese graduated with good grades and high state test scores that earned him a free ride to the local community college, which he attended for two years before getting a degree in finance from university. Already a cynic, Reese began weighing and deciding much in life in terms of ROI- return on investment. For a couple years he tried to find his niche in the finance world, but nothing felt satisfying, even if he was good at it. Wanting to accomplish something in life, but realizing he wasn’t on a path to attaining that goal, Reese was close to a career crisis when an opportunity to put more serious matters on hold presented itself. His friend had found success playing in a band and Reese was quick to agree to being their roadie (though he played harder to convince with Adam). He is actually quite good at his this unexpected role, though it gives him a lot to complain about as he puts out fires.
