[LNS]

name: Logan Barrington
nickname(s): none
birthday: May 11th
age: 17
parents: Richard (dad) and Lila (mom)
siblings: Ashley (younger sister)
body color: white
hair color: yellow, orange, green and pink
eye color: bright pink
symbol: skateboard
personality/temperament: Keeps to himself a lot. Fairly quiet. Doesn't talk unless he has to, for the most part. Enjoys working with his hands. Loves to build/fix things. Tends to blush when he's embarrassed by something.
clothes: loose fitting jeans, goes shirtless a lot of the time when he’s around home, t-shirts, canvas tennis shoes, dress shirts, brown leather jacket
jewelry: none
sexual orientation: straight
pastimes: reading, watching movies, going to art museums, hanging out with friends, going to see plays, building things (or fixing them, especially anything that pertains to wood in some way)
lives: with his family still, in the old Victorian style house they fixed up
pets: Vincent (Golden Retriever, major brownie points if you can figure out what famous painter his dog is named after)

history: Logan’s family made a rather interesting impression on a few young ladies when they moved in. But than those young ladies made an impression on Logan and his family too.

The family arrived in town, hoping to settle into a ‘normal life’. Something that they had never had before. Moving at least once every year without fail. When he was younger Logan would often ask ‘why’. He never did receive a straight answer once to his question.

Richard was a renowned thief. Priceless jewels would turn up missing, or bank accounts would mysteriously be emptied. Never did anyone suspect such a well-loved member of their community. But than he was a master at this craft of his. Richard would plan the heist for nearly a year. Working out the tiniest of details. Leaving nothing to chance. Always the job was completed just before someone moved away. Leading others to speculate that whoever it was, was the true criminal. A month afterwards the family would move. Satisfied that no clues had been turned up, pointing to Richard. Once moved the plotting and scheming would begin all over.

Wanting a nice normal life for her children Lila pleaded with Richard. Begging him to give up this life of crime. With millions in jewels stashed worldwide and twice that in banks overseas, the Barringtons knew full well that they were more than set for life. Reluctant to give up such a profitable career, Richard agreed only when Lila played the ‘do you want your children to go into this business’ card.

Finding a nice spacious house, the Barringtons bought it without a second though. Soon after Richard found and bought out a local hardware store, which he still owns. Lila began teaching piano. And dear little Ashley is constantly under foot as she tries to ‘help’ her parents out with various things.

Not seeing the lure behind the party lifestyle so many of his classmates live; Logan attends art lectures and goes to museums instead on weekends. Picking up ideas here and there, he interweaves them into his designs.

Anything but one of the 'cool' crowd. Logan is content to stay behind the scenes. To be just another face in the crowd. Never really caring what others think or if they like him. It isn't that he has a chip on his shoulder or hates everyone. No, nothing like that at all. Logan enjoys people watching and seeing how others interact with one another, never stopping to consider that he should be interacting with them as well.

birthplace: Local hospital in Greece. (He is not Greek. His parents were there, because his father had heard about some jewels that were to be on display. Logan being born there hadn't been part of the plan.)

interesting facts: Logan is still a virgin. Something he doesn't have a problem with at all. He is also religious. Attends church every week. Richard actually taught him the basics every thief needs to know, without Logan knowing it.

name: Bon Bon Riley
nickname(s): Bon, B
birthday: November 13th
age: just shy of turning 17
parents: Chip (dad) and Sugar (mom)
siblings: Misty (older sister), Rusty (younger brother), Twink (younger brother), Amber (younger sister), Jasper (younger brother)
body color: yellow
hair color: purple
eye color: light blue
symbol: wrapped blue and purple candy with dots around it
personality/temperament: Upbeat. Loves to party. Bit wild at times. Flirty. Easily upset by her family and the lack of privacy at home.
clothes: baby doll t-shirts, tank tops, sweaters, dark blue jean jacket, jeans or skirts, heels or sandals, boots sometimes
jewelry: a small sapphire stud in each ear, a gold belly chain
sexual orientation: straight
pastimes: flirting, dancing, cooking, baking, hanging out with friends, partying, reading
lives: with her parents still
pets: Coral (Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix)

history: Bon Bon comes from a big family with a lot of love. Just not a lot of space or privacy. For as long as she can remember Bon has always wanted to be a model. A dream her family does not share. Her parents are constantly pushing her in other directions. Hoping that their daughter will come to her senses and give up this crazy idea of hers.

Not the baby of the family and not the oldest child either. Bon Bon is the second oldest child, something she truly can not stand. Old enough to help out and to take care of herself. Yet not old enough to actually ever be in charge. She has frequently been the scapegoat for the other children. The younger ones like pointing fingers and claiming Bon let them do whatever they weren't supposed to, while her older sister often claims that she left Bon Bon in charge while she ran out to do an errand for their mother. Grounded more often than she can count, Bon would rebel if she could. Her family keeps a tight hold on her, monitoring as much as possible and dictating much of the teenager's life for her.

Finding a friend in GingerSnap, Bon was able to escape the suffocation of her family and be free for a while. GingerSnap often lets the other stay over for an entire week, using the famous 'my parents are out of town and I hate being home all alone' excuse. Bon's parents adore GingerSnap to no possible end and consider her a marvelous influence on their daughter.

birthplace: Local hospital.

interesting facts: Not only knew of GingerSnap's deadly game of starving herself, Bon Bon tried it herself for about a month.

name: Harlequin Duffell
nickname(s): Harle, Baby
birthday: August 23rd
age: 17 (I'm going with it's after August 23rd, if not than she's still 16, but will be 17 shortly.)
parents: Jackson (dad) and Charity (mum)
siblings: none
body color: pale baby yellow
hair color: grass green with streaks of bright blue
eye color: bright blue
symbol: a yellow baby duck wearing a blue and green harlequin hat
personality/temperament: Flirty. Bit of a tease. Enjoys unnerving others, especially jealous girlfriends. Daring. Has been known to lose her clothes in public. Doesn’t seem to ever be embarrassed by anything. Takes a lot to upset her.
clothes: hip hugger jeans, baby doll t-shirts, skirts (very rarely), sweaters, vests with a tank top under them, sandals or boots
jewelry: small gold star earring in each ear, gold ring with leaves around it on her right middle finger, three inch width solid gold bracelet on her right hand
sexual orientation: straight
pastimes: flirting, partying, watching movies, reading, cooking, dancing, swimming, gymnastics
lives: with her parents still in a spacious Victorian style house
pets: Misty (gray and white cat)

history: A British lass who moved here almost four years ago. Harle was anything but thrilled when her parents announced the sudden move. The agency her father worked for had a branch out of the country that was in need of someone of his experience. Unable to pass the opportunity up he readily agreed to the move. For with it came a promotion and a corner office, something he had been after for years.

At the age of three Harle’s parents enrolled her in gymnastic classes, in hopes that the energetic pre-schooler would tire out and take the nap her mum waited all day for. Nothing doing though. Instead of wearing the little girl out, the classes seemed to double her energy, much to her mum’s dismay. They thought of pulling her out of the class, as they didn’t need or rather want a three-year-old with more energy than she already possessed. Upon seeing just how much she enjoyed the class though, they thought better of it and left her in.

Until just before moving, at the age of thirteen, Harle attended a gymnastics class five times a week. After moving, her parents considered finding another gymnastics class for her to enter, but changed their minds. Hoping that their daughter would make friends at school instead of practicing cartwheels and flips in the backyard.

Not wanting to be labeled ‘that girl with the funny accent’ for all of jr. high and high school, Harle turned to cheerleading. Though she considered cheerleaders to be bubble brains, at least it was a chance for her to practice her flips and cartwheels.

Her father became absorbed in his work and her mum dove right into it as well. Leaving Harle basically alone most of the time. Even when her parents were home, they weren’t really. Harle could state she ‘robbed a bank’ or was in some ‘sleazy video’ and her parents would always reply with a “that’s nice dear, why don’t you finish up your homework before it gets too late now”.

A bit of a flirt, Harle enjoys flirting with other girls’ boyfriends’ just to get a rise out of them. Sitting on laps, neck nibbling, butt grabbing, anything is fair game as far as Harle is considered so long as she gets a reaction out of someone.

birthplace: At home in London.

interesting facts: Was caught swimming naked in the school pool the end of last year with three senior boys and another girl. Didn't actually lose her virginity until this past summer.

name: Chloe Zanders
nickname(s): Chlo
birthday: June 18th
age: 15
parents: Martin (dad) and Grace (mom)
siblings: Jace (older brother, who is away at college)
body color: barely there baby pink
hair color: cherry red
eye color: in-between bright and dark green
symbol: a silver bowl with vanilla ice cream in it with chocolate syrup dripping down the sides of the ice cream with a sparkling red cherry on top and a silver sp00n sticking into the ice cream towards the left side of the bowl
personality/temperament: A tease, who enjoys tempting other girls' boyfriends. Bit on the flirty side. Talkative at times, at other times somewhat quiet. Lonely, but doesn't let on. Loyal, friendly, little on the bouncy side.
clothes: anything that will show off skin, short shorts, short plaid skirts, ripped low rise jeans, sleeveless tops, pimp hats, boots and high heels, oversized sweatshirts or t-shirts when no one else is around
jewelry: big chunky bracelets, silver hoops earrings
sexual orientation: straight
pastimes: reading, watching old movies, going for walks, hanging out at the mall, partying, volunteering at the hospital as a candy striper, dancing, jet skiing
lives: with her parents still
pets: Sammie (female, Beagle, lemon colored)

history: Unlike most kids who wished their parents would just disappear and leave them alone, Chloe wished hers would get after her. Even just a little.

Martin and Grace Zanders have no real rules, aside from don’t drink and drive. They don’t believe in them. In their minds kids will be kids and telling them not to do this or that and to act a certain way is only going to make them want to do the opposite. So instead they let their children do as they want, never bothering to even give them a little friendly parental advice; as they believe sooner or later their children will make the right decisions all on their own.

This free spirited thinking of theirs may be good in part. But it hasn’t done their son, Jace, any favors. Jace has been in drug rehab three times already and Chloe is worried that he’ll be going back for trip number four very soon. Jace began using drugs at fifteen and hasn’t, as far as anyone knows, stopped yet. At age sixteen he went to rehab for the first time. At seventeen he went back for his second go round. At nineteen he went for a third time. Claiming that it would be the very last time. Chloe, isn’t so sure.

Wanting nothing more than approval, or disapproval from someone, anyone, Chloe does everything she can to get attention. She dresses like a tramp. Appears to act like a tramp to most, yet is actually still a virgin. Drinks a bit much, just not to the point of passing out. Stays out all night, three or four times a week. Skips classes at school. Had thought her parents would protest, instead they gave her some line about "enjoying life while you're young". Smart, enough so that she skipped 7th grade and went straight into 8th after 6th grade.

Chloe is thinking of becoming a doctor. She wants to help people, to make them feel better, to have some sort of an impact on at least one person’s life. Currently she volunteers at the local hospital as a candy striper. She enjoys reading stories to the kids more than anything, even though there’s been a few parents who take one look at her and insist they don’t want her anywhere near their precious child.

In truth Chloe is lonely and would give anything to have what other kids do, to have a real relationship with their parents and siblings. Something she doesn’t believe she’ll ever have. And she’s probably right.

birthplace: Local hospital.

interesting facts: Still a virgin, something that no one else knows. Would kill to have her parents worry about her staying out all night, just once.

name: Skyler O'Malley
nickname(s): Sky, Flirt
birthday: March 13th
age: 17
parents: Hobbs (dad) and Raven (mom)
siblings: Hoops (twin brother)
body color: white
hair color: sky blue
eye color: deep blue
symbol: ocean blue wave crashing
personality/temperament: Flirty. Determined. Knows what he wants and goes after it. Sweet when he wants to be.
clothes: sports jackets, jeans, slacks (only when he has to), t-shirts, silk dress shirts (cuffs are left un-buttoned unless he's wearing a sports jacket), tennis shoes, boots, dress shoes (rarely), dark blue leather jacket
jewelry: silver ring on the index finger of his right hand, silver necklace
sexual orientation: straight
pastimes: flirting, dancing, hanging out with friends, partying, playing/working with Unstable, swimming, surfing
lives: with his parents (and Hoops) still in their large two story house
pets: Sterling (silver cat)

history: The O'Malley boys are as different as night and day. There was no way the twins could have been more different than if they both had had different parents. Hoops was without doubt the more athletic of the two. It was almost as if he had been born with a basketball in his hand. While Skyler was more inclined to dabble in music and the ladies. A smooth talker who knows what he wants, sex, and more often than not gets it. Something that irritates his twin to no possible end. Though there is no telling if Hoops is in some small way jealous of Skyler’s ability to sweet talk the ladies or if he is simply annoyed by the fact that Sky has slept with every girl he’s tried to pursue. Which is probably in large part why Sky has had so many black eyes and bruises, Hoops has a nasty temper and enjoys using Skyler as his personal punching bag from time to time.

Yup, Sky’s an ass and he has no problem admitting it either. He likes women. A bit more than most of the high school would like. But than he also has a reputation for being a heart breaker. After getting what he wants, he cuts the girl loose to chase after something else in a skintight skirt. Yet for all the hearts he has broken, there was never a shortage of girls willing to go out with him. It seemed a number of them had gotten it into their heads that he just needed the ‘right’ type of girl to tame his wild ways.

Their father a prominent attorney did his best to give his children every opportunity they could ask for. For Hoops it was basketball camps, for Skyler music lessons. Spoiled, but not to the point of having everything handed to them, they both learned to work for what they wanted.

Their mother was a member of the PTA and who helps out with every fund-raiser that the school throws at her. Sometimes it was almost as if she was working too with as little as she was around. This suited the boys just fine though. As they would much rather be left to their own devices than to have an authority figure telling them ‘no’ over anything.

Yet every year without fail, their parents would drop everything to spend a fun filled month in Europe. In the past couple of years their mother has taken to spending all of the summer there. With their father joining her when he can. Leaving the boys to do what they want for the summer.

birthplace: Local hospital.

interesting facts: Contrary to his reputation Skyler hasn't really slept with half of the female population at their school. Nor did he honestly sweet-talk the school nurse into a sex-tacular spanking in the school auditorium. If he stopped and really counted how many girls he's slept with over the years the total would barely reach double digits. Skyler lost his virginity to a slightly older (16 at the time) girl just after his 14th birthday ... which is in large part how he ended up with the reputation that he has.

name: Keys Oakland
nickname(s): none
birthday: March 16th
age: 17
parents: Ivory (mom)
siblings: none
body color: smoky gray
hair color: white
eye color: deep purple
symbol: black skeleton key
personality/temperament: Little on the shy side. Doesn’t make friends easily. Quiet. Reserved around those he doesn’t know. Sweet, caring. The kind of guy every mother wants her daughter to bring home (or at least seems to). Really comes alive when he’s playing a piano/keyboard. Enjoys performing, which comes as a surprise to most everyone.
clothes: black jeans, solid color or band t-shirts, canvas tennis shoes
jewelry: small silver hoop earring in his right ear
sexual orientation: straight
pastimes: playing/working with Unstable, reading, writing, cooking, hanging out with friends, partying (to a point), playing basketball, dancing, working
lives: with his mom in a smaller one story house (not exactly in the best part of town)
pets: Kota (female, tricolor Beagle) and Lark (female, blue and yellow Parakeet)

history: His parents couldn’t have been prouder when the doctor announced they had a healthy baby boy. Both parents beamed in delight as they gazed at their child, promising that he would have every opportunity that they hadn’t.

Working two jobs Lock saved everything possible to put a down payment on a single story home. True the house wasn’t in the best of neighborhoods, but it was still better than where they were living now. Moving out of the apartment complex Lock happily escorted his wife and son into their new home. Bursting with pride, both parents thought everything was turning around for them.

Coming home late one night from his second job, Lock’s car was side swiped by a drunk driver. He was killed instantly. With a tear stained face Ivory found she couldn’t quite explain why daddy was never coming home to her four-year-old son. Through the service she kept a firm hold on Keys who watched everything curiously. It wasn’t until he saw his father lying in the coffin that the fact that ‘daddy would never be home again’ sunk in. When it did Keys began to cry as only a child can. Ivory broke down sobbing uncontrollably, uncertain as to what would happen. They were barely scrapping by as it was, with Lock gone she knew she’d be lucky if social services didn’t take Keys away from her.

A mother’s love is a powerful thing though and Ivory fought tooth and nail to keep her son. She lucked out finding someone who would hire her as a secretary (that even to her amazement provided child care at work). Though it paid decently if she wanted to keep the house she would need to take a second job. A kind older woman (Alma) who lived next door to the Oaklands volunteered to watch Keys while Ivory worked nights as a waitress at a diner.

As soon as he possibly could Keys began working at a grocery store as a bag boy. Taking home what little he earned to help pay bills. Though Ivory protested she really couldn’t object, money was tight and every little bit helped.

birthplace: Local hospital.

interesting facts: Began working shortly after he turned 13. Has never tried anything with alcohol in it, nor does he ever plan to. The older woman who used to watch him when he was younger had a piano and taught him how to play. When Alma passed away she left her up right piano to him and what little she had in savings (which his mother insisted he use to buy the keyboard he’d always wanted).

history: Before grade school was over for Melody her parents divorced. Leaving her mother to deal with both the twins and her, when their father moved to another city. It hasn’t been easy and Melody knows her mother hasn’t completely forgiven her father for all of the hurt he’s caused their family.

Within the first year after the divorce, her father remarried. After having a son with her stepmother, he seemed to forget about Melody and the twins almost completely. He rarely sees them. They never get to stay with him on the weekends anymore. And no matter what they do it is always wrong. Because Hank is perfect, just like his mother. Melody often feels like she and the twins were a trial run for her dad. He’s great with Hank. Spends lots of time with him. Plays sports, talks, everything Mel and the twins wished he would do with them, but never did.

A bit awkward at times, Melody wanted nothing more than to be in the popular crowd when she finally got to high school. Of course getting into the popular crowd wasn’t a piece of cake. To get in Melody did some things she wishes she hadn’t. A few things that she even now has come to regret. Unable to change her past, Mel is dealing with letting things go and moving on.

A pair of juniors took a likely to Melody within the first week of school. Desperate for attention since her mom is always working and her dad is basically out of her life, it took almost nothing for the pair to talk Melody into giving them blowjobs. It didn’t stop there. The two teenagers knew they had Mel wrapped around their little finger so long as they gave her the attention she so desperately sought. Before the first month of school had come and gone Mel was not only hanging out with the cool kids, she was doing most of the guys to remain in the popular crowd.

By the time ninth grade was over Melody was well known as the school tramp. A hug could get a guy just about everywhere with her; and they knew it too.

A lot of friends came and went, during that year. Very few stuck by her and bothered to recall the sweetheart she had once been instead of this out of control sex fiend.

Mel spent most of that year in tears. She hated what she was doing. But she couldn’t stop. If she did she’d be out of the crowd she craved to be part of.

During the summer she spent a lot of time around home, cutting herself off from just about everyone. Thoughts of suicide came and went. She ate little and exercised to the point of blacking out. The twins while nerve racking at times helped to pull her back from the abyss she was inching closer and closer to. Being normal kids they wanted their big sister to play games with, to take them to the park, help with baking cookies, but above all they just wanted someone to listen; just as Mel did.

Melody can’t forget what she’d done. There are those who won’t let her. She’s dealing with her past though, day by day and just trying to move on.

birthplace: Local hospital.

interesting facts: Can play the clarinet. Was 14 when she lost her virginity. Has slept with over 20 guys. Officially lost count around number 22 and doesn't care to know the real number of guys she's been with.

name: GingerSnap Morris
nickname(s): Gin, Ginger, Gingy, Snaps, Snapster, Snappy (along with many other variations of her name) and Highness (only Rico calls her this)
birthday: October 21st
age: almost 17
parents: Coon (dad) and Nilla (mom)
siblings: none
body color: light brown
hair color: white
eye color: dark brown
symbol: one dark and medium brown gingersnap cookie
personality/temperament: Generous to the point of spoiling her friends rotten. Bit of a prima donna at times. Likes things her way. Sweet for the most part. Protective of her friends.
clothes: lot of jeans and high priced t-shirts, owns more shoes than most stores carry (all name brands in different styles and colors), soft brown leather jacket (has others but this is the only jacket she really ever wears), basically anything expensive or in style
jewelry: silver necklace with a small silver pansy hanging from it, lot of different silver earrings and anklets
sexual orientation: straight
pastimes: reading, baking cookies, dancing, hanging out with friends, skiing, shopping, spoiling friends, being pampered, partying, lounging around Europe
lives: in a mansion with her parents still
pets: none

history: Fresh out of high school her dad began designing children’s clothes. His ideas caught on and a big name corporation picked him up. After working there for a couple of years, he quit. Taking what savings he had he started up his own clothing company. It struggled during its first year but when it caught on, it really caught on. Within three years after opening his first factory Coon had already opened four more. A multi-millionaire before he was twenty-three Coon had the world by the tail.

Just before turning twenty-seven he met Nilla. Theirs was a whirlwind romance and the two were married after knowing each other for less than two months. Just over two years after they married GingerSnap was born.

Pampered and spoiled from the very moment she was born, it was no wonder the child thought she could have what she wanted and order whoever she wanted around. Something her mother never bothered to correct her on. Her father though, laid the law down early and worked diligently to break this horrid habit of hers. By the time she started school she no longer bossed everyone around or treated others as if they were below her. Not that it mattered much since when GingerSnap began school her father literally checked out of her life and became more absorbed in his work than ever before.

Nilla paid little attention to the child until one day she got the bright idea that beauty pageants would be a lot of fun and that GingerSnap would enjoy them to no end. GingerSnap hated them, but endured the pageants for her mother’s sake. Within a few months the hype and comments began to get to her and she began to starve herself. What little she did eat she threw up shortly after. Always worried about her weight and convinced that she was the size of a whale. While in truth she was little more than a stick figure. She didn’t see it that way though and continued on her destructive path. Even brining Bon Bon with her for a time. Until someone else put two and two together and caught her in the act. Friends rallied around her insisting she was fine as she was and that they loved her no matter what. Quitting the pageants, she found she had a long road ahead of her to recovery. Even now there are times when she finds herself slipping back into old habits when things get to be too much for her to handle.

birthplace: Local hospital in North Ridge (city they lived in before moving here).

interesting facts: Keys was not only the first boy she ever really kissed, he was also the first boy she ever slept with. Keys holds a very special place in Gin’s heart and anyone who badmouths him in front of her is liable to find themselves in for a tongue-lashing. Has a bit of a crush on Lancer, but has never acted on it. Has no interest in taking over her father’s business one day.
