CHARACTER INFORMATION

THE BASICS

CHARACTER NAME: Jazmere Jackson AGE: 27 HOMETOWN: Baltimore, Maryland BIRTH ORDER: Only  child PERSONALITY: At first glance, Jazmere seems to be the definition of the American dream. She was born to a single mother who worked late nights to put food on the table. She had to work her way up from nothing. However, how Jazmere achieved it would have some people turning their noses. She married for money and she is not ashamed of it in the slightest sense. As well as being a talented dancer, she is very talented in the art of deception. Lying seems to be her second language. Though, past her love for martial things, she is a very sweet woman. It just takes more to break down to that. Many people have said there is two sides to Jazmere. One; the side the public sees; outgoing, intelligent, kind and friendly and the other; the side that are getting finessed; manipulative, harsh, wicked and downright rude. She believes money is the way to happiness and will not allow anyone to get in her way of it.

SEXUALITY OF CHARACTER: Bisexual JOB/CAREER: Socialite / Dancer FACECLAIM DESIRED: Candice Patton

INTRODUCE THEM

From a young age, Jazmere Jackson learned that material things was the only way to be successful. While other parents taught their children about true love and happiness, Jazzy’s mother was teaching her how to use her own assets for her own gain. Her mother knew best; being that she was a stripper who used her body to make money and keep her lavish lifestyle running. The family was never once without food or shelter or clothes on their backs. The pair lived in a spacious two bedroom apartment in the heart of Baltimore.

As Jazmere grew older, she began adopting her mother’s tactics. Whether it be showing more skin to get out of a ticket or even sleeping with someone to get what she wanted. Jazmere was ruthless but she felt on top of the world. While her peers were barely scraping by in college, she was this strong independent women who had no fears. She never once had to worry whether or not she was going to be stuck eating ramen for the eighth time in the row, she was planning on an amazing dinner at a five star restaurant.

Just like her mother, Jaz had a talent for dancing. She loved how she could lose herself in a song and become a work of art. Beginning at the age of four, her mother enrolled her in ballet. She dabbled in other dances but ballet was her favorite. Her one dream in life was to become a prima ballerina. As she went off to higher education in New York City, she pursued her career in ballet. It wasn’t until she was told by agents that she was considered too tall to be a ballerina that she changed her career path. She began audition for musicals and other performances around university and the city to get her name out.

Jazmere met Samuel Windsor at an elite member only club in the Upper East Side. She managed to flirt her way past security to make her way in. Most of the members there were all from wealthy backgrounds. Ones that never had to work a blue collar job in their life. Ones that were decked out from head to toe in designer. The night she met Sam changed her. She felt butterflies and lust and the pair hit it off, but deep down she knew those feelings were just because she was so close to so much money. She played the part of a poor woman who became a trophy wife. Her mother standing right by her side with the biggest grin. On December 1, 2013, in Manhattan, New York, Jazmere married a man whom she claimed was her best friend. However, this particular man, Samuel Jenkins, was next in line to become the CEO of his father’s company. A company that brought in over thousands and thousands of dollars each day. Truth be told, the moment Jazmere laid eyes on Sam, all she saw was dollar signs. She wouldn’t deny it. The first few months was amazing, however things faded and she got bored but she didn’t want to give up that allowance that Sam gave her every week.

Her marriage was doomed from the start. Jazmere resented Sam and everything he stood for. Though she knew to bite her tongue or else that check would disappear. She was counting her days once Sam became distant. She knew he was seeing someone else and yet she didn’t care. She saw even bigger dollar signs. Hiring private investigators, she was going to catch Sam in the act. And that is just what she did. The moment she had pictures of Sam with his sectary, she filed for divorce. And oh man, it was a nasty one. Jazmere hired the best lawyer money could afford and sued for everything that Sam’s name was on; his house, his yachts, his beach homes, his out-of-country villas.

She was lucky. Jazmere was lucky that the judge fell for poor wife act. Jazmere competed the perfect circle. She hooked a wealthy man, married him without a prenup and took everything he had, and even an extra boost, alimony. With those monthly checks, Jazmere never has to work another day in her life. It was just what she wanted; to be able to sit around and shower herself in martial things.

CHARACTER NAME: Madison Olivia Pierce AGE: 25 HOMETOWN:  San Francisco, California. BIRTH ORDER:  Oldest PERSONALITY:  Loyalty is the trait Madison prizes above all. Her relationship with her family was tough but her relationship with her brother is the most important thing to her. She wants to protect Logan as much as possible and get to know the new part of her family; the Beaumont’s. Madison is a deeply caring person who would drop everything to come to the aid of a friend. Madison is creative and open minded which is why she loves music so much and her passion for learning was fuelled but her education in Classics from Columbia. Her success is not the most important thing about her music career instead she wants to share the music with the world in the hope it brings them the comfort and joy it brings her to create it. Madison is a peaceful and friendly person except if you cross her or someone she cares deeply about.

SEXUALITY OF CHARACTER: Pansexual JOB/CAREER: Singer/songwriter FACECLAIM DESIRED: Taylor Swift

INTRODUCE THEM

Madison grew up in San Francisco, California and there wasn’t a thing she didn’t love about the city. Living in a place with such diversity and culture made her happy everyday trying to explore something new every weekend. Madison would often try to encourage her younger brother Logan to join her. Their parents have produced two children that didn’t fit the Pierce status quo and it was easier for Madison to forget all of the expectations of the family when she was way from the house and hoped the same would help Logan.

Since she was a child Madison has loved music. Through her childhood and into her teen years Madison was part of her school choir and orchestra learning to play violin and piano as a child then moving onto the guitar as her musical interests broadened away from what she was taught.

Madison fell in love with sound of country music. The words and the sounds were so authentic she instantly connected with it. Madison found her own way of expressing herself and getting through the rough patches with her family by creating her own music.

Living in San Francisco Madison developed a love for the arts after experiencing so much culture and history and so she applied to study Classics at Columbia University in New York City where she deepened her knowledge of liberal arts as well as Greek and Latin literature, languages, and cultures.

Madison spent most of her free time working on her music, and playing small shows in coffee bars and for friends. The fall after graduation Madison released her first album and was shocked by the success. Her manager suggested she go on tour in the south where her biggest fan base was and Madison loved every minuet of performing.

Over the last couple of years Madison has lived all over the country and has just finished the promotional rounds for the album she released at the beginning of the summer. She has decided to settle down in Brooklyn to be near her brother and their new family in the hope she too might find love and to work on some more songs because she still has lots in her heart she wants to say.

Madison settled happily in Brooklyn, meeting a young man named Myles she began to fall in love with but it seemed she was not destined for happiness when her record label pulled her back onto the road. As part of her contract Madison was required to do any advertising they deemed necessary. This wasn’t advertising for her, this was advertising themselves; to get more artists to work with them. Madison tried to fight it but her lawyers told her there was nothing she could do because her contract had never specified what kind of advertising she would have to do.

The past six weeks have been the worst Madison had ever experienced in the music world and now she is back in Brooklyn she is fighting to end her contract with the record label. Knowing this may lead to the end of her music career Madison is currently looking at finding a new career and is not looking forward to the “I told you so” from her parents.

CHARACTER INFORMATION

THE BASICS

CHARACTER NAME: Chloe Jane “CJ” Peters AGE: 25 HOMETOWN: New York City, New York BIRTH ORDER: Oldest of three; she has a gay little brother (a NP character) and one youngest sibling. PERSONALITY: Can be extremely positive, but tends to be quite sarcastic, pessimistic and brutally honest. Though she is a working woman, CJ doesn’t necessarily put work before others, but does find work to be one of her main responsibilities. A few bad habits of CJ’s would include biting her nails, smoking Marlboro cigarettes and frequent drinking. CJ is also a college dropout. SEXUALITY OF CHARACTER: Lesbian JOB/CAREER: Tattoo Artist FACECLAIM DESIRED: Kristen Stewart

INTRODUCE THEM

Born to New York’s wealthy power couple socialites Jane and Henry Carter–Chloe Jane was given material things since the day she’d been born. Since Chloe could walk, it’d been obvious that she was unafraid of the opinions she’d left on others as long as all sets of eyes were on her. With lips that were either always set in a smirk or pout, CJ was a “temptress” (her mother’s words); it’d been evident that she would attain the type of attention that her parents could benefit from and that type of observation didn’t go unspoken of in the Parker household. A few days before CJ’s sixteenth birthday, her mother approached her with a concept that not even a young Chloe Jane could have politely declined or laughed off–her mother had asked Chloe if she would help her and CJ’s father win the election for the state’s secretary. The catch? CJ would be sleeping with men that were more than twice her age. It hadn’t been that big of a deal to her parents, so she’d taken the concept with a grain of salt–weeks after her birthday, CJ had lost her virginity to her father’s best friend. From a young age, Chloe Jane had an underlying thought that–just maybe–she didn’t like boys the way other girls did, and actually went through middle and high school without bringing anyone home because of what she’d believed (not that she’d wanted to make her life even messier than it already was). Sleeping with men hadn’t excited her sexually, but she’d remained in the closet until Chloe was receiving acceptance letters from colleges and graduated from high school. When both parents were told that Chloe Jane was a lesbian, neither had wanted anything to do with her and kicked her out of the house that same day–that night was the first time Chloe had slept with a woman, which had only enforced what she’d already known and freed her of any burdens she’d been carrying on her shoulders. Now that she’s residing in Till Brooklyn, she doesn’t worry about what others think of her and is simply focusing on her career as a tattoo artist but often feels a tinge of loneliness for not speaking to her family in years.
