20 | athletic - articulate - retrospective

    trigger warning - fatherly abandonment, hazing, and racial discrimination.

a madison county native born out of wedlock and often made to feel like an outsider in his home town. there isn’t a soul that doesn’t know his story. a big shot football player and a cheerleader mother, high school sweethearts got pregnant their senior year. his father, the younger north ditched his mother when he went to college and met another woman and got her pregnant before sebastian was born. six months after he was born he got a half-brother out of the picture and a step-mother, though still to this day his father doesn’t claim him. 

because of his past, bast tends to be a very reserved individual. he doesn’t trust people easily and often wants to pull back and avoid them all together. he was teased mercilessly through school because of his mixed heritage, an aryan father and a hispanic mother, he was to white to be hispanic, but to dark to be white. it was a curse. he rarely shows anyone what he’s really thinking outside of his small and intimate circle of people. otherwise, he keeps a fairly passable pokerface. it’s a defense mechanism because growing up in madison county wasn’t easy, at least for him just because of his surname, north. 

bast is an athlete and an academic. he’s talented in football (family genes) and he’s an exquisite writer. he has a good ability at channeling his life challenges into his writing. he’s currently at stackhouse university on a football scholarship majoring in creative writing. he wants to change the world with his words one day in the far away future. he works as a part-time mechanic at his uncle norths mechanic shop too. so despite his complicated family dynamics, he manages to keep his head somewhat up and go about his business trying to live life the best that he can. 

“what’s more important? what we become or how we became it?”

For my summer work I had to come up with three different characters that are Misanthrope, people that hate humankind, as well as doing that I had to come up with side walk cycles for all the characters and one more for the one that I liked and a character bio describing bits about them with different faces.

This is what I came up with

CHARACTER ONE: Yana

CHARACTER TWO: Leaf

CHARACTER THREE: Rive

charlotte grace morris st germain

39 | nuturing - careful - graceful

trigger warning: depression, adultery

this perfect matriarch of the st germain family was born in the mountains of madison county, nc, though she does not brag about that very often. if you asked her she was born in madison and stayed there until she was eighteen. then she began her "real" life. she moved to raleigh when she was eighteen to attend duke university on a cheerleading scholarship. she studied dance while at school, but her dreams of being a dance teacher were put on hold when she met her husband.

after marrying the now governor of north carolina, the two resided in raleigh and had four beautiful children. on the outside looking in the two had a picture perfect life. on the inside, however, was a depressing state of things. lottie feels trapped in a loveless marriage with a man who has cheated on her at least twice that she knows of. after the second time, lottie returned to her vacation home in madison.

with her depression at an all time high, but feeling like she cannot get a divorce for her childrens sake and the sake of her husbands career, she has decided to live in wolf laurel with her children while her husband travels between the two homes when his schedule allowed it. the truth of the matter is that she just missed her family and needed their strength, even if she would never admit to that fact.

looking for:

38 | quiet - strong - kind

     trigger warning - death of parents, death of husband by fire, mention of miscarriage, teen drugs, teen pregnancy, and teen sex.

born in cocoa beach, florida josie was relocated to madison county when she three when her grandfather died and her parents wanted to be close to her grandmother kathy to support her. josie is a very strong woman who has been met with a lot of tragedy and heart ache in life. the fact that she’s still standing after the loss of both her parents, one to cancer and another to a car accident at a young age, the loss of her husband in a fire, and certain past decisions she made is astounding to most people. 

jo has never been a huge people person. she prefers the company of horses over people. the rare exception being the company of her children, her immediate family, and of course her best friend aimee morris. she loves her family so they always have had a special place in her heart, even in her troubled teenage years when she rebelled and made many rash decisions. her love of horse has ever been constant and it’s one of the reasons she became a horse trainer over the years. outside of her riding and barrel racing lessons she gives her students she tends to be a quiet, soft spoken woman. 

she has her bachelors in both art and animal science. she spent a small stint as an artist, but her love of the farm and horses drew her back and while she still paints and draws from time to time, her real passion lies with working with the horses, and with her children of course. 

“there’s nothing more comforting than a horse resting it’s head on your shoulder showing the love and trust it bestows upon you as it’s friend and caregiver”

Name: Azin Vell Race: Human Gender: Male Age: 26 Height: 5'11 Weight: 170 lbs

Skills: Sneaking, Sniping, Speech, Drinking

Bio:

Azin was an orphan in the poorer districts of the lower levels of the City. Life was tough for his community. As a boy, like all the other children, he watched through the cracks of society, and up to the Tower - the beacon of hope for all Humanity. He watched in awe as the ships launched from the top of the structure, and into the skies beyond. Azin dreamed one day of becoming a Guardian, but he was never encouraged to be more than what he was - a street rat, living off the crumbs of others.

He scrapped and fought his way to every meal, learning how to fight, how to adapt. He earned his way to his shelter, his meals, receiving nothing but scars for his troubles. His most prominent scar comes from an encounter with another murderous street urchin, who pulled out a blade in the middle of a brawl, and started trying to murder the other children and adults to get his hands on a burnt loaf of bread. Azin, now an adult, wrestled the man to the ground, but received a gouge across the right side of his face for his trouble. Ever since then, Azin has tried to protect those who cannot protect themselves, often seen in the lower districts in his scavenged Hunter armour, he has been mistaken for a Guardian many times, and uses this to protect those who can’t protect themselves. When Ghaul attacked the City, Azin helped civilians get to safety, and tried to uncover Guardians from the rubble. He found a Titan, who’s Light had left her, and her Ghost had died. Azin could do nothing but comfort her as she bled to death. When she died, he took the remains of her Ghost and whatever weapons she’d been carrying, vowing to find a way to restore the Ghost to return her to life somehow.
