Sterling and Emeralda have been friends since they were practically born 2 weeks from one another by two weeks! Their mother’s are also best of friends since daycare and soon lived across the road from one another. Always always up to mischeif and goodnesss knows what --- whatever grabbed their attention being it pranks all the way to pretending their were in a band called The Bandaged Knees. 

Throughout through every stage of school you would always find them surrounded by their other school friends always seemingly attached at the hip -- And if one wasm’t themselves like for example Esmeralda’s famous hot temper had arrisen mostly being teased with how short she was -- Sterling would always pull her aside and take her for a short walk or so just keep to themselves for awhile. People friends and strangers alike always thought they would become or were already a couple but to them it would be extremely weird as they feel like brother and sister officially. 

Soon going away to University became a thing and of course our Duo stuck together -- Even becoming roommates as they felt more comfortable with one another  of course ignoored the snide remarks and comments of toxic people and soon held themselves with a small good group to socialize with that went to both Foxbury and Brichester.

They do have a fair few of degrees as they were always the type of people to be ‘’Jack of All trades.’’ because sometimes you could study for one thing and it might never happen -- so they always kept their options for other things they liked to learn and enjoy open in the career department.

Although now freshly a few weeks after their last final exams and essays etc they thought about what they would like to do etc in the campus cafe’/ study area. Both thought that moving to San Myshuno would give them more career options. 

Esmeralda is looking to become a doctor/surgeon -- with her her degrees in Physics, Biology and Psyology and is looking forward to doing rounds at San Mysnuo’s Hospital (Newcrest)

Where as Sterling wants to become a lawyer or professor at the local schools and attorney businesses in the big city.

Soon as they reached to their new housing -- a decent 2 bed 2 bath apartment -- one day after checking their mailbox and checking for any important notes or announcements on the notice building boards for all tenants and visitors -- Ripped a flyer of Double Shot of Love with the Bradley Siblings and decided why not in between job searching/waiting for any possible interviews that would love to sign up --- Get to know them.Date and maybe settle down with the right one. There’s possible alternate timelines of their choices and decisions so why not always make the best of it?

              ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other facts:-

- Both are only children and both grew up in the family suburbs around Brichester and Foxbury Universities.

- Sterling and Esmeralda both grew up learning different musical instruments -- SOme more then others and have won a few trophies and awards for his magical piano keys. They mainly like to play Piano/organ and violin together. Esmeralda also during her Fine Art Majors learned how to sing besides play instruments,write her own songs as well as painting/sculpture and its history origins but only got silver degree’s for such. Sterling however exceled in history and computer science and Physics and Economics and earned his own degrees. they also have other degrees in what subject they grew interested in but maily strove to acedemicly chose the ones for what workforce they wanted to do.

- Have had their own past romance flings but always broke up after awhile due to the jealousy and paranoia of their partner thinking they were having affairs with one another when sometimes it was the other way around (*Sometimes they got cheated on :( *)

- They both love animals and grew up in their childhood homes with cats and dogs and are soon maybe thinking of getting their own pets.

                                         Reagan Akiyama

Backstory:

        Reagan was born and raised in a small cottage in Brindleton Bay. From a young age, she dreamed to become a singer. Her mother, a true traditionalist Japanese woman, had another view. She believed that Reagan has to become a doctor or a lawyer, not a stupid artist with no future. Her father, on the other hand, accepted her dreams, and encouraged, without her mother's knowledge, to continue working and achieving her dreams. (Maybe he was like this because he couldn’t accomplish his). She was an A straight student, for the sake of her mother, but she couldn’t stand this. When she was enrolled in a math academy, she was so nervous, but she did it anyway, just because her mother wanted. That’s when she met a shy, cute, and a slightly older boy. After that, she and Nakir became inseparable. Even if they were so opposite, they understood each other. When she turned 18, she moved in with Nakir in an apartment in San Myshuno, and dyed her hair mint. Her first rebellious act against her mother wishes. But she couldn’t become a singer either. Her voice wasn’t trained and it could last years of canto to achieve what she wants. For now, she put her creativity on work and writes songs. Because she was raised with the taste of art, she became a critic at a small company. And we can say, she’s quite good at it!

Random Facts:

   -She is half Japanese and half American

   -She can speak 3 languages fluently: English, Japanese and Russian

   -She can be very persuasive when she wants

   -Her favorite color is pastel mint

   -She doesn't have a determined style, but she wears only neutral colors and her favorite boots (With small exceptions)

   -She has 3 tattoos (and 2 of them exist only to cover her clumsiness): one on the back, one on the right arm, and one on her collarbone. 

   -She had one boyfriend before who cheated on her. From that moment she stopped trusting people 

   -She is usually sarcastic

   -Her favorite song is “The way you love me” by Keri Hilson. One day she wants to perform it, with dancers and all. 

   -She hopes to find true love one day (just as she found true friendship).     -she spends most of her free time in the kitchen (she loves eating… and cooking, of course)     

   -Her parents decided to give her an American name, but her mother’s surname, as a combination of 2 different cultures (exactly like her)     

   -She has an older sister named Dianne, but they rarely talk

                                        Nakir Ivashkov

Backstory:

         Nakir was born in Novosibirsk, a city from Rusia. His parents divorced and he and his mother moved into a tiny apartment from San Myshuno, but he still kept contact with his father…from time to time. Unlike his father's wishes, to become one of the best athletes in the country, Nakir is a small bibliophile and an online game fanatic. In high school he was known as “that gamer nerd”. Nakir was bullied by numerous people, only because he studied too well for his own sake. But he couldn't care less. As long as he's happy, nothing else matters. A lot of girls wanted to date him (maybe because of his looks), but he refused them politely. For a while, he thought to be gay. Once, at his math lesson from the private academy he studied, a cute girl entered on the door and that was the moment he realized: he was as straight as hell. After a while, he became friends with that cute girl and now they live together as best friends. Nakir stopped talking with his father after a disagreement over the fact that he was too young to live in the same apartment with a girl and a friendship between them was impossible. Now, he is working from home as a freelance programmer, catching different opportunities. He is also working at his own RPG game. After all, you can take the boy from his games, but you can’t take the games from the boy.
