AIDEN MORRISON is a TWENTY-FOUR year old AUTO BODY REPAIR TECHNICIAN at ROMAN’S AUTO SHOP living in QUEENS.

TIMELINE

Aiden grew up with his parents in Detroit, Michigan

When he was five years old, his dad passed away, and to tell the truth, he struggles with it to this day

His mom found herself a new boyfriend way too soon, becoming his stepdad by the time they married - the man treating Aiden like shit from day one

They got two sons, Aiden being the only one to care for them since no one else did, ending caring for them like they were his own

Aiden always loved cars, just like his old man, which was why he bought himself a brand new car in his teens. He went on many road trips to clear his mind. Unfortunately, one turned out to be deadly when being hit by a drunk driver. Aiden still experiences survivors guilt, and back then, it took him ages to put himself in the driver’s seat again.

In the end, he had enough and left for New York City where he started focusing on cars and becoming a mechanic. He still kept contact with his brothers, his mom, not so much. At least having his one brother Jax move to the city made it a little easier to keep track of everything.

TIMELINE

Danny grew up in LA with his mother

His dad was a wandering alcoholic, and even though they met from time to time, they never got to develop a healthy father-and-son relationship

In his teens, he kept life pretty busy joining a gang, sneaking out, messing around with girls, doing all the things his mother had thought him not to

When his mom found out, she gave him the speech of his life, giving him the opportunity to get his shit together, and luckily he did

He started focusing on acting, following his dad’s footsteps, yet he didn’t want to end up on the street in the very end

Moving to NYC, he got himself an apartment - feeling down and out in the beginning, but after building himself a social network, things were starting to fall into place

Coursing at Julliard, his dream of becoming an actor was looking good. He went on auditions and got small parts in commercials and indie movies

SLOANNE MURRAY is a TWENTY-TWO year old STUDENT in NYU living in BROOKLYN.

TIMELINE

They grew up around a lot of art, music and history. Their parents were people who were very focused and into keeping Brooklyn right down to it’s original state. They were very local, very friendly and very neighborly.

Their upbringing was normal and colorful, but when their parents lost their jobs, they found themselves in a predicament. Since they didn’t believe in “submitting” to the man, the fridge was often empty – their stomachs alike.

Tough and tough all around. They had very few friends because most of them shied away thanks to their proud and sour attitude.

Thanks to their true talent, they got into NYU to study art, specifically painting and photography. They made ends meet with a job that no one knew about. Dancing at the underground scene strip club had kept them from starving. Though hard to keep, they were proud of what they did and felt no shame.

TIMELINE

Blessed with incredibly good looks which she used to get whatever she wanted. 

Had a bit of a reputation around her home town and neighborhood, and some high school stories still follow her around. 

They are very quick-witted and have a smart mouth, which tends to land them in sticky situations, but they make sure to come out on top no matter what. But, because of past experiences, they often opted to act dumb instead of assuming their full potential, just to please others and not threaten anyone.

Because of their religious family, they rebelled a lot when younger. The sex caused some unfortunate events and one of them resulted in them contracting an STD.

A. HENDRIX is an EIGHTEEN year old STUDENT in NEW YORK UNIVERSITY living in MANHATTAN.

TIMELINE

They grew up with a wealthy family and were very spoiled. They’ve always been the most popular kid in school, and they weren’t always very nice about it.

As a small child, their cousin was placed into foster care and their parents refused to take custody of the child. They have not seen the cousin since.

Last year, a fight with their sibling got out of hand, and the sibling was nearly killed when they pushed them and the other fell down a flight of stairs.

Their sibling survived the incident but with no memory of what happened. They have kept the secret, but their actions horrified them and they’re trying to be a better person.

They desperately want to get into acting.

M. CARTER is an EIGHTEEN year old STUDENT in AKAMAI BOARDING SCHOOL living in MANHATTAN.

TIMELINE

They are an only child but grew up incredible close with their cousin L. Carter, almost like siblings.

They had a childhood obsession with superheros (okay, they’re really still into them) and they’ve always wanted to help people and could never just sit around when someone was in trouble.

When L. was caught stealing from a store when they were together, M. took the fall, knowing that L. would be sent to prison with a permanent record, and they would go to juvenile hall with a record that could be expunged later.

They have just been released from juvenile hall and will be going to Akamai for their senior year, hoping to start over where no one knows what happened.

They’re very interested in some of the theater and drama related classes in Akamai, but they think they might be more interested in working behind the scenes.

R. WONG is an TWENTY-ONE year old STUDENT in CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK living in STATEN ISLAND.

TIMELINE

They were diagnosed with progressive hearing loss as a young child and their hearing continues to worsen with time.

They use hearing aids and have become very good at lip reading, and due to this are generally still good at one-on-one spoken conversations, though crowds and other noisy environments make things difficult.

Their disability led to their parents becoming extremely overprotective, and this is something that deeply frustrates them.

They have a job, and a small apartment of their own in Staten Island.

At heart, they are an artist, but they have been majoring in something else out of a need to have a ‘practical’ degree.

M. CHANCE is a SIXTEEN year old STUDENT in AKAMAI BOARDING SCHOOL living in MANHATTAN.

TIMELINE

TW: Abuse

Their parents never wanted kids, and they made that clear. Until the age of eleven, they were raised almost entirely by their older sibling.

When their sibling turned eighteen and moved out, things quickly went from bad to worse as neglect became abuse.

For three years there was almost no contact between the siblings, and they retreated into their self, focusing on their music.

When things became too much, they finally told their sibling of the abuse, and to their surprise their sibling fought for them - for custody of them - and won.

They feel abandoned again by being enrolled at a boarding school, even though they know its because of how busy their sibling is working to support them.

S. SUMMERFIELD is an EIGHTEEN year old STUDENT in NEW YORK UNIVERSITY living in MANHATTAN.

TIMELINE

They were raised in an upper middle class family, with their mother, older sibling, and step-father. They never knew their biological father.

They are, officially, a genius, and often become bored with their schoolwork because it is easy for them.

Much of their popularity has always been build on a well-established but highly secretive business selling papers to other students.

They are hoping that as they are able to get into more upper-level classes in college, they will find work that is a challenge.

As mischievous as they are, they would like to actually do something to make a difference in the world.

E. JOHNSON (Twin 2) is an EIGHTEEN year old STUDENT in CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK living in STATEN ISLAND.

TIMELINE

With a neglectful drug addict mother and a father they had never met, they grew up raised mostly by their older siblings, a fact they highly resented.

If they didn’t look exactly like their twin, they would try to convince people they had been switched at birth. Their relationship is rocky at best.

They feel like the black sheep of the family, convinced they are nothing like their siblings.

They are uneasy and self conscious, always worried that their world will be ripped out from under them. They hide behind a mask of snark, and can often be cruel in their method of self-defense.

They just want to get to a point in life where they have some kind of security, where they don’t always have to be worried that they will lose everything.

They grew up in the south, with a close family who always put a lot of importance on education.

Getting into college in New York, and especially Columbia University was a huge deal for them.

They had always been popular, but they began to fall in with a more rebellious crowd in college.

Out with friends with a fake ID during their second year in New York, they ended up getting abandoned at the club. They don’t remember much after that until they woke up half-naked and alone.

They have withdrawn since their assault and are trying to deal with things alone, but they don’t know how much longer that can last.
