[Major/Career Aspiration] Marine Biology


[Background] Morgan was born in Boston Massachusetts and grew up in a rather ordinary home. By the time she got into high school she was already a pretty popular girl. She played sports and by the time she made it to senior High she was a leading member of the cheerleader's squad. Even back then she loved to party and drink, and smoke a bit of weed. She did the things teenagers do, the good and the bad.

One thing she knew early on was where her passion lay. Her first passion was the environment and protecting it, and this included animals and in particular, marine life. As far back as junior high she was determined to get into one of the leading Marine Biology programs in the country. Considering her other grades were never that great it took more than a little perseverance and determination to finally get into the program.

Her second passion she got from her mother, and it's a love of music. Her mother had always played with country music bands touring the local Boston bars. She learned to play the guitar very well, as well as a little piano and she a decent singer as well.

When not studying or partying, Morgan can frequently be found at some protest in the city, fighting for the things she believes in.


[Personality] Morgan is a fun loving, social butterfly, adventurous force of nature. She's not the games, movies or book type, unless the book is documentary piece about a subject she feels passionate about. She's always been a very social girl, from as far back as high school where she learned to sing and play guitar. She's a loyal friend and a generous person. Morgan believes in activism and participates in protests as often as she can.

[Likes] The water, Animals, The Environment, Singing and dancing, playing the guitar
[Dislikes] Bigots, litterers, show offs, vexatious people and those with over-inflated egos.

[Relationship with Other Characters]
1-While in college, Morgan was paired in a dorm room with Akira. The two became fast friends, then Akira asked Morgan out on a date. Morgan had always known she was bisexual, and she was very fond of Akira so she agreed. Since then they've had an enduring, if slightly secretive and casual relationship. Morgan is aware that Akira's parents are not aware of their relationship and would prefer to keep it that way.
2-Morgan's connection to Lorelei was born more out of convenience. Fancying herself a bit of an activist and defender of the environment, Morgan recruited Lorelei to help make a few videos showing the wealth of garbage found in the waters off the west coast and their effect on marine wildlife and the local reefs. Other videos focusing on things like climate change soon followed. From this collaboration spawned a friendship.

Spoiler: Juliette

[Name] Juliette Oshitaro
[Age] 20
[Gender] Female
[Sign] Virgo

[Height] 5'2
[Weight] 115lb

[Major/Career Aspiration] Major: Art history, minor: gender and sexuality
[Background]

[Personality] Juliette appears fairly quiet for the most part to people that she doesn't know well. However, she is also fairly opinionated and often is capable of a cutting or witty remark when needed. Julliette is very honest, but often leaves her feelings inside and bottles them up. She has a tendency to be a bit in her own head with her thoughts, often making her seem aloof. However, that's only because she has so much that she may be thinking about! She tends to be a bit idealistic and naive, wanting to make the world a better place but not quite having enough experience to get there. She is commonly considered a perfectionist, and tends to stress herself out if everything isn't going according to her plan.

[Likes] Social outreach, reading, drawing/painting, philosophical discussions, having her own 'space' to think

[Dislikes] People that are cruel to others or animals, selfishness, societal expectations as a whole, large crowded groups or parties, unappreciation of the arts

|| Appearance ||
[ Height ]
6' 7''

[ Build ]
Slender, with little muscle or fat. He has sharp features, high cheekbones, sharp and narrow nose, pointed but short ears, and a slightly longer face.

[ Eyes ]
Cat-like, of a silvery-gold colour, although that might be just a trick of the light. His eyes are rimmed with long, thick eye-lashes. There are usually dark circles around his eyes from the lack of sleep he usually suffers from.

[ Hair ]
Raven black of short to medium length, combed neatly to the side of back, straight though curled at the tips somewhat. There are days though when he throws it all out the window and his hair is all over the place.

[ Skin ]
Pale, with little to no freckles on his face, but plenty scattered over his shoulders and upper arms. On his left upper arm there is a distinct birthmark. Most scars are hidden behind his clothes, but he does have quite a few, mostly faded ones. There are no tattoos or piercings on him.

[ Style ]
Conservative, formal clothing that is still fairly practical is his favourite. He isn't fond of ripped jeans or hoodies, and doesn't really enjoy wearing shirts without sleeves and such like. Often what he wears will have colours like black, grey, white, blue, red, gold or silver mixed in and it generally speaking won't be too patterned or stick out too much.

[ Accessories ]
Wears a locket around his neck, with some inscriptions of it. It's usually partly hidden by his collar, because he doesn't want it stolen, but also because he has a tendency to feel insecure about the slightest things.

|| Traits ||
[ Personality Overview ]
Kit is... almost like a cat. He is elusive in nature and keeps to the shadows, quiet to the point of being almost completely silent, unless he has something to say. Even if he does not speak out loud, or using the human language, there comes a point where he cannot hold his opinions back. He is aloof, cautious and distrustful of human beings as a whole, seeing them as the most dangerous and most savage of animals, but that does not stop him from admiring his foster parents from afar, though he rarely admits it. Compliments and smiles from Kit are rare, and though he can be polite, he is not very extroverted or sociable. This should not be misunderstood as antisocial - a word he hates used in the context of him and many other people who are simply introverted and distrustful - but many do think him rude for it, which is perfectly fine, so long as they do not call him antisocial.

Mostly, he is collected and in control of his actions though and has a fairly sound moral compass. Fairly. It is somewhat skewed, certainly after about a decade of living a less than fair life, he has developed a somewhat different view on what is good and bad, but he keeps to the law and to most people's rules, even if he does occasionally cross lines.

You will not find him where the music is loud, where the grey-tinted cigarette smoke rises slowly into the air and the air is permeated with the scents of wine, whisky, gin and beer, nor in a back alley, tripping up on white powders, flakes and "medicinal" drugs, as he has a very black and white view on those things and is incredibly paranoid around anyone who uses any kind of drugs - legal or otherwise. You will not find him around cars, or in casinos, and you will probably not meet him at someone's party of thirty plus people. In that sense, he might strike you as boring, and should you be so unfortunate of listening to his unsympathetic comments on the latest drug-related deaths, you will likely see him as remorseless. However, he is not entirely uncaring and will protects those that he feels are worth saving at any cost. He can be blind to those he admires, easily manipulated by anyone who has found a way into his heart and mind, which can ultimately leave him very vulnerable despite all the precautions he takes against weakness.

Recently, he has grown a little more fond of humans and is no longer as frightened of being close to them, however close contact, physical or emotional is still unnerving and any kind of relation takes long to form with Kit. He'll often lie and excuse himself out of telling you anything about himself and rarely will he let you invade his personal space. But once he does, you'll probably not be able to get rid of him so easily.

There is also a child-like side to him, as he can be curious and inventive, adventurous but with a fear of the outside world this side tends not to be as apparent. He is intelligent and a fast learner, and probably wouldn't have gotten very far in life if he hadn't. However, he can also be petty, spiteful and vindictive, which can often hold him back. If annoyed, or angered, he might simply resort to sarcasm, but if you push him too far, he will eventually snap.

|| Past & Occupation ||
[ Occupation ]
Student - Full Time - Currently Studying: Psychology with Modern Languages
Also works in the Modelling & Advertisement sector.
Author - hasn't published much, and it's just a small-time job.

[ Biography | History ]
Born in somewhere in the South of England - he barely remembers where himself, his parents died early on, which was something that he wasn't told. He'd always assumed they left him, as opposed to dying in a mall after what was presumed to be a terrorist attack. He was left with only a locket with the number 13 and his own name on it, with a dragon engraved on the top lid, and the sign of the archer on the bottom one. It would be what would later be used to assume his birth date, as no other documents could be found. From what he can remember, there was never a picture inside, but it might have just been misplaced, or taken by his foster father. He was left with someone he'd only ever heard being called Gareth, but was found by the social services sometime after his fifth birthday, who then passed him around different families. Either none of them wanted to keep the troubled boy, as bright as he'd seemed at first, or they simply didn't turn out to be parent material, neglecting, exploiting or abusing their foster children.

Eventually, with some luck he was adopted by a former army doctor who had retired to become a regular doctor, and a book author and English Lit. Professor, who weren't able to conceive a child by natural means and therefore chose to adopt him. Life hadn't been easy since then, but certainly a lot brighter, even though his beginnings with the family were more than a little rocky. They originally moved to America, but as the schooling system confused the boy, they reluctantly decided it would be best he studied in the UK and remained with them during the holidays. He was found to be an academically bright student, and therefore had managed to skip a couple years with the proof of his ability to cope with the challenges that came with skipping years, and therefore found himself ending high school early. Though he may not look the part and sometimes not even act the part, he's always been smart and wise beyond his years, having to be in order to survive.

His job had certainly come to him out of a lucky opportunity, where he was scouted out by someone looking through the internet and coming across a school play and noting that he had "model features" and some ability to cope with attention and cameras, who later offered him a job in the modelling and advertisement sector. It took a while before he could find a way to say no whenever job offers came at inconvenient times, but he's since learned to manage the stresses of life. Though his adoptive mother isn't very comfortable with the idea of him being a model and he isn't either, there aren't all that many jobs out there for people with few qualifications, so he was glad he landed a decent one.

Now he's moved to America, and is going through university. This is where he met the others, and though he has only known them for a much briefer time than the majority of the group know each other, he trusts them. Maybe not with his life, but with a holiday...? Well... sort of.

[ Pets ]
Black, female ESA cat of mixed breeding called Onyx.

[ Relation with Other Characters ]
To him personally, they are still very much just acquaintances whom happen to go to the same university as he does. That being said, there are one or two people in the group he feels like he can truly talk to. And unlike most people, he can actually speak to this group... you know? With words? With the exception of the professors he doesn't really talk to people. So they're actually closer to him than he thinks.

[ Other ]
Selective mute... however, he does find himself (usually) comfortable enough to talk to the people within his group of university acquaintances.​

[Gender]
Female.

[Sign]
Cancer.

[Height]

[Weight]

[Major/Career Aspiration]
Lorelei wants to become a filmmaker.

[Background]
In rural France, an angel was born. Lorelei Gardner was the daughter of a beautiful couple, Antoine and Camille Gardner. They loved raising the young girl, Lorelei wasn't a screamer, all she did was giggle, and grin whenever she saw a new face. They loved their daughter to death, they'd do anything for her. Then IT happened. Camille Gardner got into a bike accident, and passed away. Lorelei was still a toddler, so she couldn't register what had happened, all she knew was that she was gone.

Lorelei's father picked up drinking, and after six years, he decided that the environment wasn't safe for his eight year old daughter. He sent her to America where she could live with her aunt, and that was the last time she heard from him, and saw him.

Elementary school was easy, along with middle school, but when high school came around, it was hell for Lorelei. She was bullied consistently for unknown reasons, she was shut out completely from her peers, and she essentially became a loner. So what did she do? She bought a Sony Camcorder, and began making little short films by herself, 'cause why not? She loves movies, may as well make them too.

After being the school loner for four years, she graduated, then attended film school for another four years. There she made friends and films. Still using her Sony Handycam, she makes movies with her friends to this day. Once she graduated from film school, she started working on small sets as an assistant director.

Now, at twenty-four years old, Lorelei Gardner still works as an assistant director. She's vegan, and lives with Borderline Personality Disorder (diagnosed when she was twenty-three). She likes to film strangers or people she's interested in on her free time. She never wears her glasses because people used to call her four eyes.

[Personality]
Lorelei is an emotional girl, but she doesn't show it. When you meet her, you can immediately tell she's guarded, despite her sweet approach. She fears abandonment more than anything, and clings on easily once her guard is destroyed. She is very goofy, very clumsy, and extremely hungry all the time. Once she gets a chance to eat, she'll never want to stop— sorry, eating isn't a personality trait, heh. She's a huge softy, and cries at almost everything. Sometimes, she just cries because she's emotional. She jokes around a lot, and laughs even more. Some say her laugh is intoxicating, and her smile is heavenly.

[Likes]
Lorelei doesn't like... she loves.
Lorelei loves animals, cuddling, forehead kisses, cheek kisses, kisses kisses, chocolate almond milk, eating, movies, making movies, directing, telling really bad jokes, laughing, romance novels, girls, boys, and a lot more!

[Dislikes]
Lorelei doesn't dislike... she hates.
Lorelei hates roadkill, feelings of abandonment, empty love, people with no substance, bad movies, the word 'ugly', cow milk, oat milk, root beer, and books about making your life 'easier'.

[Relationship with Other Characters]
Morgan & Lorelei— Morgan found Lorelei at the perfect time. Lorelei was in desperate need of work, and new friends, so when Morgan asked her to help film some videos, Lorelei saw it as the perfect opportunity. Morgan being an activist, she focused on a lot of the major environmental risks, like the trash infesting the homes of many sea creatures, and climate change as a whole. Lorelei loves animals, and doing the videos was heartbreaking for her— but the fact that Morgan wanted to spread awareness, while many their age won't, was telling. They formed a bond when filming, and are now friends.
