02/ PHYSICAL TRAITS

Hair Color/Style: Split dye (black & blonde currently, but it’s ever changing), shoulder length with really choppy bangs Eye Color: Brown Face Claim: Melanie Martinez Height: 5′2 Tattoos: A ton of tiny, meaningless ones she just got so that people would ask her about them and so she would get to come up with a lie about the meaning each time Piercings: A few in her ears, a stud in her tongue Unique Attributes: Always wears wildly coloured lipsticks (bubblegum blue is a current favourite)

03 / PERSONALITY TRAITS/TYPES

Positive Traits: Intelligent, Easily Amused, Confident Negative Traits: Pessimistic, Unpredictable, Arrogant, Careless Hobbies/Interests: Aside from exy and reading the news? Candy Crush. She pays for lives and plays it anytime, anywhere. Insecurities: Fears she’s not interesting enough and that she’ll get cast aside for someone better than her Quirks/Eccentricities: Likes to mimic things people said to her to see if they call her out for it and could talk for America in general. Also finds it literally impossible not to do something to it’s fullest extent. (Go Big or Go Home.) MBTI Type:  ESTJ-A Enneagram Type: The Acheiver Moral Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Temperament: Sanguine

04 / FAMILY & HOME

Immediate Family: Her parents, Beth and Julian Price  How do they feel about their family?: Although she hasn’t spoken to either of them since the trial, the resentment she carries for them has been around since long before then. She does feel a little bit guilty about ruining her father’s career, but mostly she was upset about how they didn’t seem to understand it’s their fault she ended up that way. How does their family feel about them?: They think she’s a spoiled brat who fell off the rails and disgraced their family. Pets: No pets. Lilith couldn’t be trusted to look after anything. Where do they live?: In the dorms, currently, though she’s definitely in need of more permanent residence. Description of their home: Her family home was pretty big, but still had a sense of homeliness to it. As both of her parents had to travel to away games often and as Lilith isn’t the type to sit and clean, it was clear it had been lived in, but they never let it get to far. They don’t have it particularly over-decorated due to the time spent away, but what is there is completely luxury-based. Description of their bedroom: Lilith has a couple of newspaper clippings up beside her bed, all small things about her becoming a fox. Mostly it’s motivation to get back into the news, but there’s also something like pride there. Her bed is rarely made, and her clothes are generally strewn all over it from the morning when she absolutely took way-too-long picking her outfit.

02/ PHYSICAL TRAITS

Hair Color/Style: Black hair, pretty close cut, and styled eternally in ‘I woke up this way’ messy chic. Eye Color: Brown Face Claim: Sen Mitsuji Height: 6′5″ Tattoos: None Piercings: None Unique Attributes: Akira has track marks on his arms, which he hides under long sleeves, no matter the weather. He left pinky finger is a little crooked. He broke it as a kid.

03 / PERSONALITY TRAITS/TYPES

Positive Traits: Passionate, Charismatic, Personable Negative Traits: Secretive, Restrained, Private Hobbies/Interests: Exy. It’s honestly the only thing Akira puts his all and then some into. What little down time Akira has outside of school and Exy is usually filled with food and sleeping. When he does take time off he likes to read and he’s not half bad at most racing games. He’s got a base interest in cars, not enough to really consider it a hobby but he’s not shy about approaching a stranger to talk specs if he sees a car he particularly likes. Insecurities: Anything that reminds him of his days in LA. Doesn’t matter if it’s about his early days or his TV career just thinking about it makes Akira start second guess himself. He knows he made the wrong choice back then, but he’s unsure if it has set the tone for what he wants to do now. Everybody outside of his family and his team seem to think he’ll never be anything more than Justin Kimura. And on his darker days he can’t help but wonder if maybe this Exy dream of his was over the minute he said yes to that damn movie. Quirks/Eccentricities: He picks his nails. Constantly. It’s worse when he’s nervous. Been a habit of his ever since he was a kid. Guy hasn’t had any nails in ages. Akira has a habit of trying to pay for all the things. Take the team out to dinner, he’ll want to pick up the tab. He’s offered to pay for the team’s air travel on numerous occasions. Wymack, has refused. Other than that Akira is pretty frugal with his money. Not because he wants to save it, but mostly because he doesn’t want to flaunt it, lest it remind him or anyone around him how he earned it. The only lavish thing Akira owns outside of his wardrobe is his car. That Volvo is is baby. MBTI Type: ESFJ Enneagram Type: The Achiever (Type 3) Moral Alignment: Neutral Good Temperament: Sanguine

04 / FAMILY & HOME

Immediate Family: Kathrine Monroe (Mother), Ken Sato (Father), Naomi Sato (Sister, 17), Mai Sato (Sister, 15) How do they feel about their family?: Akira loves his family. He’s always loved them, even on the days they get on his nerves. If his family needed him he’d fly up to New York at the next available opportunity. He’s always been a very family oriented sort of guy. And his sisters? Super protective. Especially nowadays. The people that break their hearts will rue the day. He thinks of his sisters, albeit younger than him, some of his best friends. He talks to them often. He likes flying home on school holidays to spend time with them and always has seats saved for them at his games, even if they can’t always attend. Things with his parents since getting out of rehab have been good, not great, but good. He can feel them watching him with bated breath and a big part of his drive these days is that he hopes that some day they’ll be able to relax. He’s always been close to Mai and nothing between them has changed much. He probably texts her the most out of the two. She wants to play Exy too, already enrolled in intramural teams as a backliner. Things with Naomi have been tense since rehab. He’s not sure why but he’s giving her the space she needs. How does their family feel about them?: His parents worry about him. They’re constantly watching him, worried he’ll start to slip back down the slope the barely managed to pull him up. They love him and the love the life he’s creating for himself out at Palmetto. They’re his number one supporters. (Mai stole his home jersey once so she could wear it to school for pride day. He let her keep it, much to Wymack’s dismay. Orange jerseys are expensive.) His mother worries he pushes himself too hard but she’s never brought this up with him. She feels so long as he isn’t hurting himself again what can it hurt? Mai adores him. She’s picked up exy because of him and she loves going to his games when she’s allowed to. Naomi loves him, is glad he’s okay, but she’s a little miffed he opted to leave the LA scene. With a brother like Akira Sato she was popular and she loved it. His fall from glory and perpetual disappearance from the world was a big hit to Naomi’s school cred and she’s not quite been able to forgive him for it yet. Pets: None. Dad is allergic to anything with fur. Although Akira has always wanted a dog. Where do they live?: New York, New York Description of their home: Very modern. Very lived in. His dad has always been a fan of white and black, sleek edges, exposed support structures, and glossy surfaces. Their apartment is full of that kind of thing. His mother, however, tries her best to soften all those edges with colors and patterns. The walls have family photos all over them and a few random pieces from his mom’s family home. Most flat surfaces not covered in the usual clutter of five person family life, are filled with color decorations. Origami flowers in neon in a vase on the rarely used fireplace. Carnival glass bowls filled with sweet smelling potpourri. Akira’s room reflects his mother’s tastes. He painted the walls blue years ago and the walls are plastered with exy posters and band posters. His sister’s rooms are more modern but they like color just as much as their mother. It’s a weird style but it works for the Satos. A strange kind of mishmash of Japanese and American life.  Description of their bedroom: Akira’s room is painted this light sort of blue. He painted it himself so up near the ceiling there are a few spots of white. But you can hardly see the color of the walls anymore. Exy posters, band posters, and a handful of car posters are plastered all over his room. The only surface not covered by posters is the back of his door. Which is pocket marked and scuffed from all the times he’s kicked it closed or bounced a ball off of  it. His bed is shoved against the wall across from the door, barely giving the door enough room to open. There’s a dresser shoved next to his closet. The closet is for exy gear, the dresser for actual clothes. The floor is a light hardwood but it’s clearly been well worn and abused. It is, however, clean. The top of his dress is littered with all sorts of things. Mostly books and extra racket strings. Charging cables. It acts as kind of a catch all for shit in his pockets. He doesn’t have a desk, just a CD/DVD rack in a corner. Dusty. He hasn’t lived in the room much lately but it’s always got this lived in kind of vibe. The bed is rarely made, the clothes hamper has a shirt draped over the edge. An old pair of tennis shoes is half exposed under the bed. His bedding is boring, solid colored and no pattern but there is a misshapen pillow at the head of his bed that’s the most garish collection of colors and patterns. Naomi made it for him in Home Economics class for him.

04 / FAMILY & HOME

IMMEDIATE FAMILY: Oliver Finch and Aadhya Sodhi. HOW DO THEY FEEL ABOUT THEIR FAMILY?: Olivia loves her mother, but only sees her semi regularly since she left her dad. Her feelings for her dad are complicated. She loves him, and for most of her life, he was one real companion. Still, it wasn’t easy growing up with his high expectations of her. She sometimes felt like less of a daughter and more of a dream.

HOW DOES THEIR FAMILY FEEL ABOUT THEM?: Her mother loves her, but doesn’t understand her. She’s not heavily involved in her life, and hasn’t been for some years now. She tried to get in contact with Liv a lot during the whole debacle at Penn State, but Olivia wasn’t willing to talk about it. Olivia was her father’s entire world, ever since his career ended. Her leaving Penn State for Palmetto felt like the ultimate betrayal from her, and he hasn’t talked to her in months now. PETS: She had a lizard when she was seven. She named him Benny. WHERE DO THEY LIVE?: South Carolina. She has yet to figure out if she has a home to go back to after the school year ends. DESCRIPTION OF THEIR HOME: More than comfortably sized for two.

Thea Muldani, mostly, but a few other Exy players she looked up to. Her desk, bare from her departure, is usually a cluttered mess of notes and books and papers, similar to her father’s desk in his study.

It just isn’t going to happen at this point. They’ve made their decision to not accept Pax and while that does hurt, Pax would rather be healthy than be in a negative head space. Their sister is a different story. While Paxton doesn’t trust Emma all the way, they’re beginning to become closer to her.

“So, Adam.” Betsy was across the room, too far to be on the pillow covered armchair that sat only three feet in front of him. With another sigh he replied. “What?” It was bored this time. He didn’t even open his eyes as she rustled around what he assumed to be her desk. His eyes flickered behind their lids, the lights above annoying him, causing him to stir internally.

“Would you like some hot chocolate?”

The features on his face contorted before he even reopened his eyes, his expression both judgmental and questioning. It didn’t falter as he lifted his head to look at her. It was middle of summer, the heat outside more concentrated than any drink she could possibly offer but even then, why anyone would want it when sweat coated every crevice of their skin baffled him. Beyond that, Adam struggled with the idea that hot cocoa could win anyone over, never mind people like him. “No?” He replied as if her question were absurd but she didn’t reply. Instead, she put down the mug and set herself in front of him, wiggling slightly as if the pillow behind her were in the way. The two stared at each other a moment; Betsy smiling from behind the light reflecting off of her glasses and Adam glaring from under his brows before she spoke again.

“So tell me a bit about yourself?” Adam sighed again impatiently, his neck pressing hard to the left and then again the right. He hated shrinks.

Adams first therapy session happened shortly after his first freak out, the big one, as he called it. It was the day his mother started taking him seriously, the day his fits became something of a tool rather than an obscene gesture, not that it wasn’t still the later. They were all the same. Adam had cycled between several before his mother was forced to realize it was Adam that was the issue rather than the work of each individual medical professional. He had to admit, he gave them some credit. It took much longer to crack most of them than he would have dreamed to expect. He largely credited that to their training as it was always suggested Adam see child therapists rather than adult given his unwillingness to participate in treatment. It was degrading, sitting in a room filled with emotion smiley face charts and tiny chairs meant for people half his size. The coffee tables were always either littered with child literature or small toys that purpose was solely distracting kids enough that they didn’t get bored and make a run for it and while the atmosphere here was different, Betsy wasn’t going to be. All these shrinks were the same. They were meant to be patient, understanding but they were still human. They could only take so much before they cracked.

He raised a brow questioningly at her, his expression now taking a mocking twist. “What? You don’t already have all the information you need?” He knew very well they sent his file over and it seemed Betsy knew what he was going on about. If she didn’t she took a good guess at it. “I’d like to hear your side of things.” It seemed Adam found this humorous, his eyes rolling with a dark chuckle. Once the moment passed he let his head fall back to its original place, another bored sigh escaping him. Skrinks hated that sigh. Adam had to keep himself from smirking at the possibility of frustrating her. The wave of his hand told her to continue.

“How was your summer?”

“Fine.”

“How do you like Palmetto?”

“I don’t.”

“Why is that?”

He was letting the questions come in too fast. At this rate he was going to walk out before his time was up and so he gave another impatient sigh and slumped further into the couch, his muscles straining not to tense under his frustration. He was glad he was only going to have to do two of these; though Wymack already threatened to force Adam into more. It was part of his conditions you see. As long as Adam behaved Wymack would stay off his ass but as it was, Adam was only half assing his end and so Wymack was already taking on ammo, Betsy being the first round.

It occurred to him how easy it would be just to tell her about how he spent his summer at the party house Armani’s mother bought him so that they would stop trashing hers. How instead of taking pleasure in shutting her out he could find it in the reaction he got when he told her of the blacked out haze he had remained in for the past two months, racing jet skis and back flipping off of houses. He didn’t have to talk about Palmetto, he had been to enough of these pow wows that he knew any truth would make her giddy with success. Part of him wanted to give in to it, to just make his own life easier. Still, something closer to the surface, a desire to make everyone else around him miserable was just that, closer to the surface.

“Next.” The internal battle he fought happened solely in his chest, his mind never even getting the chance to examine it closely enough to even know what weapons either side held. Betsy considered his reply for a moment before deciding pressing further wasn’t going to make any progress. Maybe she wasn’t a complete waste of space.

“Well then, why don’t you tell me something. Anything. It can be about your family or your friends, something you like.” Adam had a feeling her list was a bit bigger so he sat up, the eye contact he now reconnected cutting her off there.

“I’m angry.” He stated plainly, his expression going blank, the muscles in his face slacking so that his eyebrows hung low, covering the upper half of his vision. “Probably because my dad cheated on my mom and my mom left him and my dad picked his new girlfriend over me.” He watched her, his eyes steady on the center point of her face while she seemed to contemplate this. “That’s what they told you, the other psychiatrists?” Adam raised a brow giving off the impression he was impressed. “Wow, you’re slick doc.” He mused falsely. She seemed to catch onto this as well.

“I don’t think their wrong but I don’t think they are entirely right either.” He realized now he seemed to be digging himself a hole in his attempts at taunting. Mentally, he starting kicking himself in the ass. “Well your guess is better than mine, I’m sure.” He dismissed, his fingers lifting to his mouth so that he could chew at the skin on the side of his thumb. He pretended this was interesting, his eyes lowering to watch his knuckles shift back and forth beneath his nose. He wanted to look at the clock but knew better. He wouldn’t give her another discussion point.

They went on like this for the remainder of the 30 minutes. Betsy would ask a question and Adam would evade it as much as possible and it seemed the more he evaded the more personal her questions got. In all his years, a shrink had never fought back quite as hard as Betsy Johnson but it seemed Betsy was out for an answer one way or another. By the end, she seemed satisfied enough with his lack of outbursts. Coach Wymack obviously told her to feel him out. He wished he could feel some kind of triumph in his succeeding but instead, he was annoyed.

Betsy’s smile was still holding at the end and Adam questioned how her face wasn’t twitching like a cracked out bird. The only comfort he had was in the fact he was done with her for another half a year.

02/ PHYSICAL TRAITS

Hair Color/Style: Dark, kept close-cropped to his head. Eye Color: Brown Face Claim: Keith Powers Height: 6′2″ Tattoos: None Piercings: None Unique Attributes: Brandon has fading surgical scars on his right leg from multiple surgeries after his injury, which occasionally still bothers him. He often lists his weight onto his left side, now, but then has to force himself to correct it, before he injures his other leg. While he attempts to be impassive, any nervousness or anxiety he feels can be detected in his hands, which will fidget while the rest of him is still. Has other assorted scars/marks from living a fairly colorful life.

03 / PERSONALITY TRAITS/TYPES

Positive Traits: Hard-working, enduring, loyal, respectful Negative Traits: Anxious, indecisive, self-pitying, shy Hobbies/Interests: Obviously: Exy. He also took up swimming during his recovery, as it was low-impact, and enjoys the serenity of the PSU pool in the early mornings before practice, plus the competitive edge that comes from trying to beat his own best times. Insecurities: That he’s washed up at the age of twenty-five, that he couldn’t make it as a player and he won’t make it as a coach, either, because he’s too bitter about what he lost. That he’s a burden on people like Wymack, Abby, and Betsy and they’re just too nice to tell him. And still, after all this time, that he’s hard to love, that no one wanted him as a kid and no one will want him now, especially when without Exy he’s not sure what he has to offer. Quirks/Eccentricities: MBTI Type: ISTP, “The Virtuoso” Enneagram Type: Type Six, “The Loyalist” Moral Alignment: Neutral Good Temperament: Melancholic

04 / FAMILY & HOME

Immediate Family: Abandoned at birth, Brandon has no knowledge of his parents, and no wish to. For all intents and purposes, he considers Wymack as the closest thing he has to family, though he also has close relationships with Abby and Bee. How do they feel about their family?: As a child, Brandon used to spend a lot of time thinking about his parents and inventing stories about them. But around the time that he decided, after too many disappointments, to stop longing for a permanent home and adoptive parents, he stopped thinking about his long-gone birth parents as well. Today, he doesn’t think about them at all.  How does their family feel about them?: He doesn’t know and doesn’t care, and since it’s not relevant to his story, it’s not something I’m interested in exploring. Pets: None. Where do they live?: Since coming back to Palmetto, Brandon has been living in Wymack’s apartment, sleeping on the pull-out couch in his living room. Though it isn’t an ideal situation, due to the size of Wymack’s apartment, Wymack hasn’t placed any pressure on Brandon to move out, and they’ve fallen into a comfortable routine in the space together. Finding his own apartment is one of Brandon’s goals for the year, but hasn’t made much progress towards it yet.  Description of their home: See above. Description of their bedroom: Brandon came back to Palmetto with only a duffel bag full of the essentials. Everything else, such as the furniture he’d bought for his old apartment back in Kansas City, is in a Kansas City storage unit—making the trip back there to retrieve it all is another thing he abstractly plans on doing, once he’s found somewhere else to live. Because of that, and because his “bedroom” is technically the main living space of Wymack’s apartment, Brandon keeps it very neat, all his possessions organized and out of the way, and he makes his bed each morning.
