OCEANAH LYDIA SILVERS !----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- let me know that i've done wrong
Born in Boston, Massachusetts on April 5, 1983, Oceanah Lydia Silvers was the first, last, and only child of Daleigh and Talia Silvers. Growing up in Boston, she absolutely hated her name. Hey, it wasn't her fault her parents used to be hippies and couldn't resist giving her an obviously unusual name! As a youth, she began calling herself "Anna" (pronounced Aw-nuh), but her parents and other close family members refused to acknowledge her as such. Sadly, both her parents died in a horrific car crash when she was just eight years old, leaving Anna the only survivor of a traumatic highway accident and an insecure orphan. She would carry with her terrifying memories of that day for the rest of her life. Anna was tossed to foster home to foster home, since by that time her grandparents had passed away and her parents' siblings were either in jail or did not wish to take her in. The already shy Anna became extremely antisocial and distrusting as a result of the sexual, verbal, and physical abuse she experienced in more than one home on more than one occasion. Skip ahead a few years, and we find Anna on the run, trying in vain to evade the war draft as long as possible. Eventually, though, the law catches up with her after a year or so and she is drafted at the age of twenty-six. To make matters worse, Anna, like her parents before her, is a pacifist and does not believe in violence. That she is being forced to fight in and for something she doesn't believe is right angers her to no end. Additionally, she has so much penned up rage and regret inside of her that she finds it difficult to live her life. All those conflicting emotions cause Anna to be very mentally preoccupied. Because of her dark past, she initially comes off as cold, distant, and unreachable. But people should learn not to judge a book by her cover.

BASIL CEDRIC THORNLEY !----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- when i've known this all along
He's a nineteen-year-old smartie/overachiever from the California bay area, and his famous catch phrase will surely go down in UVD history, if it hasn't already. Basil Cedric Thornley was born on September 19, 1989 to a family of rich, and, ironically, heterosexual semi-snobs. His mother was a wealthy heiress from the Ukraine and his father was a successful businessman from England. He was raised in the lap of luxury, and always got exactly what he asked for, blah blah blah. But his privileged childhood did not prevent him from behaving like an actual human being. In fact, whenever someone brought up his family's financial status, Basil would find a way to quickly change the subject. He's a perfectly relatable guy, if one can get past his weird, random, zany personality. Actually, more like get used to it. And if you really want to be his friend, enjoy it. Basil may be a nerd, but a cool one at that. He's an outgoing socialite who's almost always ready to party. Predictably, he has way more friends than he can count, but somehow manages to keep up with everyone. He can be dashing and suave, but, as stated before, also outrageously funny. If you think his jokes aren't corny, that is. Basil does act flamboyant sometimes, usually on shopping trips with his female friends or when he's had too much/too little coffee. He also employs his wit in the form of insults. So if you're on his bad side, you better watch out. And getting on Basil's bad side may be simpler than you think. He can be very impatient and is easily frustrated. As a preteen, his friends began calling him "Ace," and it stuck. Nowadays, as a sophomore at UVD, he rarely answers to anything but his nickname, since he's at the top of his class and prides himself on his problem-solving skills in more areas than one. But like many young adults, this dude has a secret. Well, it's really only a secret to his conservative, paranoid, overprotective family. He's madly in love with a fellow university student who equally returns his affections. The catch? It's a guy. Everyone else knows he's out of the closet, but no one, including Basil has any idea how his relatives will react if and when he breaks the news to them.

ALISTAIR ULYSSES WARREN !----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i go around a time or two
Alistair Ulysses Warren, from the day he came into the world, sported an obviously unusual name. His parents were, to put it lightly, illiterate hicks. His mother was from Louisiana and his father was from Texas, and both of them were so uncreative that they actually asked their attending physician at the hospital to name their son for them. All of Al's family members remember that day clearly, at least, the ones who were present. His father was arguing with a nurse to fetch the doctor, because it was a "'mergency, ma'am." The emergency was over, though, the doctor had pointed out, the child was healthy and alive. The family explained their "mutual disability" to the attending physician, who just so happened to be a Harvard-educated M.D. He christened the boy "Alistair Ulysses," and the family was happy with it. From that day, May 27, 1979, he was affectionately known as "Al." He had a relatively normal childhood. His family, though, was extremely poor and in dire need of financial assistance, so Al had to do without many things growing up. But he vowed that he would not follow in his parents' footsteps of uneducation, and ran away from home at age sixteen. He traveled the world, trying to learn as much as possible about the different landscapes, traditions, and cultures around him. He paid for passage on cargo ships, buses, trains, and small aircraft by working his debt off to the owner of said vehicle, otherwise he would find ways of sneaking onboard. He was caught a few times, but usually went unnoticed. At age twenty, he returned to the United States and relocated to Virginia. Enrollment at UVD soon followed, and graduation four years after that, and not before he transferred to a four-year college. He fell in love at age twenty-seven, but his girlfriend, being the courageous "patriot" that she was, volunteered to fight in the war and was sent away. Brokenhearted, he remains a Dermont, Virginia citizen, waiting to hear from his lover, unsure if she's still alive. Additionally, Al is naturally indecisive and, because of his girlfriend's absence, insecure. When Al loves someone, he devotes himself entirely to that one person, so his girlfriend's decision to go to war was a huge blow to his mental state. He's adept at blending in or camoflauging himself, a skill he picked up from the four years he spent abroad. Al also figures he'll be drafted soon, yet doesn't even try to evade the law like a few other people had done in the past. At least if he were drafted, he would be able to learn his girlfriend's fate.

RAELENE VIOLET HOLMES !----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- just to waste my time with you
If one were to shuffle through a dictionary of slang and locate the definitions of the following: slut, bitch, temptress, and backstabber, they might find more than just the number of syllables and parts of speech. In fact, at the bottom of the page, they might even find a little asterisk with the phrase "See Raelene Holmes" to its right. Raelene is all of the above, and so much more, but one may not realize it at first. See, that's just part of her routine. Her voice is wispy and ethereal, and she always comes off as a cute, innocent young woman, simply to woo guys and earn the trust of others. But no one should judge this tantalizing book by her dainty little cover. Rae is self-absorbed, narcissistic, haughty, and arrogant. She'll do whatever it takes to get what she wants, and Rae tells everyone exactly what they want to hear, but little do they know that'll come back to bite them in the butt later. The main reason she offered herself up as a soldier was to make some new connections with (hopefully) cute guys. The fact that she's seeking guys with a substantial amount of money isn't just because she's a gold digger, well, scratch that, it kind of is. Rae also wants to get more involved with the government, find out more about its interworkings, more about what makes it tick. She also wants to hook up with people who may know things about the government that not many others do, like a lawyer's son or a judge's nephew. She's not expecting to find any CIA agents camped out where she's going, but what a great surprise it would be if she did. The true reason for all of this is that she wants to be sure she's on the side who's gaining the upper hand in the war. Rae could definitely be classified as a mercenary, and will head for whichever country will give her the biggest reward. Oh, and female soldiers beware. This scheming, clever gal will steal your man before you can say "Open fire!" even if it's just a one-night stand. Furthermore, she doesn't like to reveal much about her background. She prefers to "keep the mystique," as it were.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I be wantin' friends, enemies, and lovers for all of them. Keep in mind, Anna, Al, and Rae are straight, and Ace is bi. I'll be extremely selective about Ace's lover (yes, singular), and I recommend you do not post asking to romantically plot with him until I get his wanted ad up and running. Ace is open for anything. Flings, one-night stands, actual love, whatever. And Al needs friends more than anything else, to keep him from falling into depression. Rae is a slut, a bitch, and a backstabber, so bring on the lovers and the enemies!

MICHELLE & BASIL
Totally! Maybe they wouldn't be BFFs or anything, but they could definitely talk to each other often. Perhaps even study buddies? But yeah, friends for sure. |
