At 2:00pm, there was silence. Voices could faintly be heard from several classrooms, but the halls of Hamilton High lacked the bustle of in-between class sessions. It wasn’t until fifteen minutes later, at the end of the day, that everything picked up once again, if not louder than usual. After all, the last day of school was something to be celebrated. Seniors preparing for graduation, and underclassmen excited to finally be free for the summer. Even with the promise of summer within reach, some students found themselves staying a few minutes late, whether it be for club activities, waiting for friends, or the lack of a way to get home. None of these students planned on staying too late, and they were headed to all exits around 2:40. Little did they know it was already too late. The power went out school-wide, and the sound of each door closing and locking could be heard at each exit, the doors so close but so far. Frantic cries demanding to know what was going on echoed through the halls, along with dismissive remarks and silence from some. Everyone left in the building gathered and tried to better understand the situation, but no one had any vital information other than the obvious fact that they were trapped, with no contact to the outside.
Now, two days later, the remaining students have mostly accepted their situation, only hoping that someone will let them out before the new school year. Welcome to Trapped, up for four years and counting! Originally posted on October 16th, 2011, Trapped had a humble beginning with only a few members and about 50 pages, leading to its death that December. I decided to bring Trapped back the following April, and activity skyrocketed. We made 100 pages in less than a day, and though we never hit that spike again, Trapped remained extremely active, especially during the summer, allowing us to have a total of over 2000 pages before the hoop.la update on the old forums. That summer, our most active members grew closer together, forming strong friendships that are mostly still intact today. All of us can agree that our summer with Trapped was absolutely amazing, and it’s our love for this crazy idea and our love for each other that has managed to revive this once again. Since 2012 we have had about four or five new versions of Trapped, but we haven’t had a massively successful version since 2013.
But don’t worry! For this version, we will be starting from zero, so you don’t have to worry about being confused by the old storyline! We will, of course, make references to it, but please don’t feel left out! Everyone is welcome to be a part of this.
Admittedly, the Trapped we grew up with was very outrageous and immature, due to us being 11-13 and in our “random” phase. I’m sure upon clicking you wondered, “locked in for the whole summer? How?”. It was the plot my 11-year old self came up with, but for old times sake, we have decided to keep this plot intact, with just a few alterations from past versions to make it as realistic as possible. We would like to provide a disclaimer that we will be ignoring the laws of reality only for the premise of this rp, so that our characters can stay in school for the summer.
What made Trapped great, chat and character side banter aside, was its never ending drama. There was almost always something going on, whether it be a murderer lurking throughout the school, students randomly disappearing and showing up, or a new development in the love hexadecagon. Yes, you read right. Instead of having three people involved, we had sixteen, all connected in some way or another. We also had a lot of random plot points to make things more fun, such as a paintball war. It’s pretty ridiculous, but our goal with Trapped has always been to just have fun and enjoy ourselves. Hopefully that will still prove true today.
Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy Trapped!
× A given, but please follow the forum rules. We’ve had quite a few problems with rule breaking in the past, so please use your best judgement here. × Please be kind and include everyone!

You don’t have to write a book, but write enough for others to work with. × Admittedly, we’ve been known to chat more than roleplay, so please try to keep somewhat of a balance. × Please keep everything as realistic as possible! Eventually these kids are going to get low on food, get sick, get dehydrated, etc. There will be plenty of obstacles to focus on here - obstacles we looked over in the past. × Please keep everything in both rp and chat at a low PG-13 rating! This is the rule we've had the most problems with in the past, and I hate to be so strict, but please be appropriate. Try to keep cursing mild and infrequent as well. × Please try to be active! I understand that activity can be a problem, but, if possible, please give us a warning before periods of inactivity! If you give us a warning beforehand, your absences will be excused.

Hamilton High School lies in the middle of a highly populated urban area, making it a very large, prestigious school, appearing akin to a private school. It’s considered to be the best in the county, with its generally high grades and just how well the school is kept.
The school has two floors. The first floor contains a gym, an indoor swimming pool, locker rooms, the library, the cafeteria, some computer labs, the teachers’ lounge, and several miscellaneous classrooms, while the second floor has more classrooms and lockers, and also an art room.
Unfortunately for these unlucky students, there is no internet connection, nor any cell phone service, so they have absolutely no access to the outside world. Alongside that, there is no electricity, meaning no running water, no functioning bathrooms, and no lights.
The one saving grace is the cafeteria, which has a large refrigerator in the back, filled with all sorts of food. Of course, there’s the food that has been brought to the front as well.
For the current situation, it’s recommended that there is someone to keep an eye on the cafeteria, as well as the front office, in order to ensure that the food supply is stable and for announcements to be made school wide when necessary.

Daisuke “Discus” Sasaki - 15 - Freshman - Male; he/him As can be inferred by his name, Daisuke is a foreign exchange student from Japan. Standing at 5’6”, he’s quite short, with slightly long, messy chocolate brown hair. He has a very childish face, which is one of his most defining features, singling him out as one of the youngest in the school. His outfit consists of a plain white button up t-shirt, a red hoodie, black jeans, and Vans. Daisuke is actually only half-Japanese, with his father being American and his mother being Japanese. He is bilingual and fluent in both of his parents’ native languages. He has a slight Japanese accent. Daisuke is a bit of a technological genius, having taken an interest in computer software and more recently, robotics. He’s a member of the school’s STEM club, explaining his reason for being stuck in the school. He has plans to attempt to stabilize the area’s internet connection in hopes of contacting the outside and being of some use to his peers. Though soft spoken and not very well known, Daisuke’s primary goal in life is helping others, including the odd group of students he’s found himself in. He wants to become more involved with the people around him, but his quiet nature has won him over and made it harder for him to adjust to life in America, even after almost a year. He has managed to make some friends, so he hasn’t been entirely alone, but he’s not one to really share how he feels unless it will benefit someone else. He hasn’t found anyone to relate to regarding this huge move and his feelings of isolation, and it’s taken a bit of a toll on him. Thankfully, the city has made him feel a little more at home, as he is from a part of Tokyo. Daisuke is more of a homebody, though, preferring to stay where the comfort of his bed and computer are always nearby - two things he’s dearly missing. As proven by his desire to help others, Daisuke is a very kind-hearted, gentle guy, and he’s most definitely the friend that would gladly give his friends advice and be their shoulder to cry on. He’s very independent, preferring to keep to himself and his own devices, but like most people, he craves companionship, but doesn’t actively seek it out. He’s generally very calm, collected, and level-headed, and he’s not easily bothered or angered. He’s pretty confident in himself, but he’s not remotely arrogant. Daisuke is very dedicated to whatever he is a part of, whether it be school work or a personal project. He can be very absentminded from time to time, often spacing out without meaning to. He is quite weak, both physically and mentally, with no knowledge of how to fight and very little idea on how to defend himself. He tends to overanalyze situations and has paranoid tendencies. He’s also very disorganized, both with his possessions and his thoughts, which isn’t exactly something you would expect from one of the school’s top students. He has a lot of difficulties communicating his thoughts and ideas to others, which only worsens his struggle with opening up to those he’s close to. Daisuke identifies as bisexual, with no real preference. He had a crush on one of his close friends back home, and he stayed in contact with her after the move, though his feelings have begun to fade. - [Rainsayer of FireClan]
Wynn “Wynnie” Da Rosa - 15 - Freshman - Female; she/her Being 5’1” isn’t easy for Wynn - it never was. She is, however, easy to pass over in a crowd due to it. Her straight, toffee brown hair is only slightly past her shoulders, giving her amber eyes a certain warmth against her pale skin. Her clothing wasn’t ever fancy, so she stuck to wearing simply a loose-fitting black tank top and jean shorts, along with a pair of mint flats. Wynn always had self-esteem issues ever since she was quite young - with average features only enhanceable with makeup, she never felt completely comfortable with herself. After she entered high school, though, she learned that she wasn’t the only person who felt that way, which helped. Despite this, Wynn is a happy-go-lucky kind of person, always trying to look on the bright side of things. Being a serious bookworm took its toll on her often, making her an introvert beyond normal levels. Wynn hopes be an editor someday, but she’s only a freshman, and no one ever takes her seriously. She tries to talk to everyone she meets, but somehow, almost anyone can intimidate her - she finds herself slowly backing out of the conversation, whether she wants to or not. If only everything was as easy as it was in the books. This didn’t stop her from hoping her fear would dissipate one day, and she’d swore to herself she’d work hard and make tons of friends. She had made a few, but she did wish she had someone close she could really confide in. Her cheerful attitude was what made her keep her childhood nickname Wynnie, a name she was told her mother used to call her. At home, it was just Wynn and her dad, ever since her mom left them. She was so young at the time, so it was impossible to really remember her, but her father made sure she never forgot. Her dad was also the one who taught her some kind of portuguese dialect - she may not look like her Portuguese father, but she is closer to him than anyone. As an only child, Wynn has to stick close to him. Wynn is single and has no crush at the moment. She is heterosexual, but still isn’t entirely sure what love is, never having experienced it before - but that isn’t to say she wouldn’t be willing to take a shot at something. - [cookie★s]
Alex Laurens - 16 years - 9th grade - Male/He/Him Alex Laurens isn't the tallest but he's more muscle than anything. Standing at just 5' 7", Alex weighs 120lbs. He has darkish tan skin and two blue eyes. Alex's hair is scraggly and a reddish colour. Freckles dot his face, arms, and legs. He has a scar on one arm from when he was 6. Alex's nose is very pointy and has the most freckles on it. With such a simplified look there has to be an end- there sorta is. He is mainly muscle, 85% and 15% fat. Due to this he has a lanky build and isn't the skinniest of people. He is very ecstatic, smart, and often spends his time writing. He has a fear of heights, moving vans, and popcorn. Alex is fearless at theme parks, in the dark, and during horror movies. He hates bullies and loves to lift weights. Alex has a downside, he joins too much- football, softball, soccer, writing club which slows him down. He has a slight speech disorder and is bullied for it. Alex finds himself severely attached to males, making him Gay. When he was 6, his mother divorced his father. His father turned dark and cold and would abuse young Alex, Angel, and Leila. One day he told his father he was going to John's house and his father attacked him with a knife. When John, Alex's Ex and former best friend, fled. He called the police and got Patrick arrested. He lives with an aunt. - [Salt]
Austin Kang - 15 - Sophmore - Male, he/him A solid height of 5'11" is what usually stands out to most people when they catch their first glimpse of Austin. That, or a pair of black glasses that veil his deep brown eyes - correctional frames for a recurring childhood lazy eye, and it's totally not his fault for not taking care of it properly...obviously. Underneath those glasses are a faint spray of freckles sprinkled across his nose and cheeks, his light olive skin highlighting them as well as possible. To top it all off, his short-ish pitch black hair frames his face nicely, but barely hides his pierced right ear. Oh, and don't let him chew with his mouth open - he's missing 2 of his molars from severe childhood cavities that his father never bothered to have replaced. To some, he fits the pretty-boy cookie cutter mold well (aside from the teeth), but don't let the face fool you - this guy's a total joker and kind of a pain in the behind. Never taking anything seriously, he lives to be the class clown with his constant wise-arse comments to teachers and even his peers. Austin's kicks also come from his annoying self-titled "pranks", and by pranks, he means stealing gum from classmates, drawing on school property...you get the picture. Outgoing, animated, laid-back, honest, and never afraid to speak his mind are some pretty classic traits of his. He's also pretty vulgar, even with little kids. Despite his no-effs-given way of life, Austin makes fairly good grades in school and has an affinity for language, writing, and poetry, however his dyscalculia has caused him several unfortunate math marks. Though his loud personality definitely drives many people from him, those who can put up with him are rewarded with ferocious loyalty and an extremely caring, sensitive friend you could tell anything to. That, or he could beat pretty much any videogame for you - he's loved games both old and new since forever and they've been his lifetime outlet. Seriously, don't touch this kid's Atari 2600. Austin's dad was born and raised in Korea, and his mom is a white American, explaining his conversational-level Korean language skills. Growing up, his family was fairly poor, and he moved often, probably explaining the unreplaced teeth and attention-seeking actions to have someone remember him for once. In recent years they've slightly bounced back, but he's still pretty sensitive about it. He's heteroflexible and currently has no partner, but definitely wants one. - [» ravenclaw.]
Emma Cole - 15 years old - 10th - Female / she/her Emma has wavy, dirty blond that reaches a bit past her shoulders. She has pale skin, dark brown eyes, and stands at 5'3". She's wearing a white shirt with a single long sleeve and a diamond cutout in the chest. Her shorts are bright red and she also wears copper-colored sandals and a matching copper overcoat. Emma is quite sweet, but is also quiet and usually sticks to just talking to her few close friends. Though not the best in school, she is pretty smart when it comes to problem solving and life skills. She can be a bit overly dramatic and is slightly possessive of people, but most don't see that side of her unless they are her close friends or family. She tends to space out when she gets nervous, and loves writing in typewriters. Though she's a pretty gentle girl, Emma isn't afraid to stand up when she thinks she's right, and is slightly infamous in the school for trying to get everyone to believe in fairies in the fifth grade. Though she long ago gave that up, she still does believe in fairies. She loves photography and is also quite interested in folklore, hoping to study it over the summer. Something only a few of her friends know about her is that she loves real-life role playing of any sort, and often likes to pretend that she's in another world even when not roleplaying.- [Brindleface]
Robbie Williams - 15 - Sophomore – Male; He/him Standing at 5’10 and lanky, Robbie doesn’t seem to win in the muscular category. Having more smarts than dashing good looks, this boy uses that to let people underestimate him and let him coast through life. He has wildish brown hair that is styled in a way that makes it seem like a went through a car race with the roof down. As much as he tells people that he does indeed brush his hair, it’s almost always a lie as he tends to wake up too late to remember to do that. He has soft brown eyes that are somewhat narrow from getting glasses too late and having to squint most of his childhood to see. Robbie has pasty skin that will burn for a few days before returning to normal. His faceclaim is Andrew Garfield. Being a bit of a geek, Robbie wears a black shirt with a Triforce on it with Navi at the center saying, “Hey, listen.” He also wears khaki cargo shorts and Pokemon themed Converse. Robbie always goes with the flow, adapting to what’s around him to not be noticed. He isn’t one for conflict and will try to appease rather than argue. Being more of a lone wolf, he won’t make friends willingly because it’s easier not to stand out when you are alone. - [thepineappleincident]
Avalon Rhodes - 16 - Sophomore - she/her Avalon has a tall, slender figure standing at about 5'9" with tanned skin and a slight womanly curve above her hips and around her thighs. Her round eyes are that of an emerald green with a young, intelligent stare paired with sandy blond hair cut at a messy yet simple style that ends just above the pit of her arm. Her lips are genuinely plump and full, and they are normally pursed over her white and naturally straight teeth. She has a small set of dimples that show when she smiles widely and a small sharp edge to her jawline. Her lashes are long and are normally held under a layer of mascara, as she likes to wear touches of makeup around her eyes and cheek bones. Avalon loves to style her hair into various designs and styles but keeps it the same shade and normally ends up taking it out to let her hair fall down loosely in semi-short beach waves. Because she's learned to become confident with her body, she's taken up a serious career in modeling. She loves to wear all sorts of halter tops and chain chokers paired with old jeans and white converse; anything that sends out a 90s look. Once looked over without an insider's scoop, she is seen as very spoiled and ridiculously snobbish (due to her confidence), but those that get close and spend time around her know that she is kind with a witty touch to her, and although she is spoiled she is not rotten. She's grateful for everything she has (all thanks to her job) and just enjoys everything life brings her way. Although she's an optimist, she's also a realist and is practical about every situation. Avalon loves to adventure and explore, leading those who follow her onto wild expeditions and wonderful new discoveries-- and yes, even a bit of trouble here and there. Other than being kind, she's very responsible-- as she is living on her own while her parents are out traveling the world during retirement. Because she lived alone, it got a bit lonely every now and then; resulting to cause her love of adventure and sense of curiosity. Altogether, Avalon is a strong, independent young woman with an attractive yet innocently sweet vibe and a few insecurities of her own that she likes to keep private. Growing up, she lived in a nicely sizable house and a lot of help from her family, which were more or less her best friends. [ Blah, blah, blah, insert nice & happy history here. ] She is not currently crushing on anyone, but is definitely up for a new experience regarding a new chapter of her life. She's single and interested in a little older age of men, although she has a funny and confident way of showing it. She loves to sing, dance, and has even taken up photography as a hobby. Avalon also has a cat named Jasper (nicknamed Jazz for short). and has a secret love for pineapple. - [queen of disco]
Amy Jones – 16 – Sophomore – She/her With bright hazel eyes and a dark red bob, Amy Jones stands around 5’5” and would blend into the crowd if it weren’t for her outfit. Dark ripped up tights under a short red plaid skirt, a white tank top and a denim jacket with a key necklace Amy puts up a show that she won’t give you a second glance; a show that has worked generally really well if it wasn’t for her best friend, Loreanna ‘Lorie’ Fogheart. Slowly but surely Loreanna has begun to break her façade around her. To Amy’s chagrin and Loreanna’s delight, Amy was forced into showing the world her true colors, though she refuses to change her style. Under Amy’s façade, she’s generally a very bright, fun loving girl who loves a good laugh. She’s very protective of those she loves and tends to hold grudges against the ones who wrong her, even if it was years later. Once you are in as her friend, she tends to be a mother hen, always checking in on them and trying to dote on them. She has a stubborn streak a mile wide and a snappy attitude to go with it. With that type of attitude, one might wonder where Amy built it all and why. Sadly enough, her parents are the reason why. With the cold business father and the shallow, Barbie doll mother, she rarely had reason not to build up that façade. She learned about love from her best friend Loreanna because her showcase parents only acted like parents when a business party was near. They tended to put on their own façade of loving and doting on Amy in front of others. At first, Amy was thrilled to have her parents doting on her but then when the party ended and her parents went back to how they were without a second thought, she realized that she was just a tool, a tool to get them higher up in the business world. She built up on her façade by example of her parents so she has love and trust issues when it comes up to new people. She’s a quick learner when it comes to new things because she has to be, she doesn’t want to be used or played like her parents did to her ever again. She’s picked up a lot of new habits, good and bad over the years, often teaching Loreanna them as well. She can be some what of a bad influence on the ones that she loves as well but that's a flaw that she figures that if they want to stay with her, they'll accept it. She's still learning the ropes about being someone's friend so she can tend to trod on a few toes here and there. She isn't socially awkward or at least she normally isn't due to all the social parties that she's been to but she tends to be blunt with her words. Amy doesn't believe in skirting around the problems but to face them head on, often leading her into trouble. She’s always prepared to leave at a moments notice so it didn’t really hurt her to know that she’s trapped in the school and she doesn't think that her parents would care that much. She’s bi at the moment but doesn’t really realize that fact. – [SnowStorm] Riley Hamilton - 17 - Junior - Questioning; he/him Standing at 5'7", Riley is considered to be somewhat short for a guy. He's basically a stick when you tie his weight in as well. He has straight, somewhat messy dirty blonde hair that stops just below the midpoint of his neck. His eyes are brown, and often framed by a pair of black rounded rectangle glasses. He has fair skin. Riley's wearing a royal blue tank top, blue jeans, vans, and a cheap black letterman jacket, despite the heat. He did take gym this semester so he has a backup pair of clothes. Riley is a rather well known person in the school, despite being a nerd and basically a nobody. He's very introverted and usually not interested in meeting people, yet he finds himself drawn towards them anyway. Being a drama kid has given him plenty of opportunities to be more open, so he's starting to move away from his withdrawn nature. The reason for Riley being so against interaction in the past was due to the frequent bullying he experienced throughout his childhood. He learned to hide himself away and taught himself that putting what others wanted before what he wanted was right. He realized his mistakes quite recently, but despite realizing them, he still actively tries to please other people, caring about his friends' wellbeing, thoughts, and feelings more than his own. He has a very low self-esteem and is actively seeking to surround himself with positivity, hoping to begin to improve his situation. He also struggles with anxiety. Riley has quite the unique character, to say the least. Being a drama kid, he's very expressive with everything he does, and as such, he has tendencies to be over the top. He usually knows where to draw the line, however. He relies mostly on humor to express himself, so he can be seen joking around more often than not. He comes across as very carefree, which only masks his anxiety and insecurities - mostly. He, surprisingly to most, can be quite awkward, not really knowing what to say when it's necessary. When he does know what to say, he talks. A lot. He's very emotional, internally and externally, making him almost an open book to those he’s close to. Humor and drama aside, Riley is a genuinely good person. He's kind, considerate, generous, and selfless. He sees no point in being unnecessarily rude, unless you manage to rub him the wrong way. He's extremely stubborn and defensive when it comes to arguments, though, and he’s not one to easily waver. He can be rude from time to time without really processing it, which usually shows through his sarcasm. This generally good-hearted nature of his comes from spending so much time with his mother as a child. She influenced him greatly, while his father has a very small role in his life, being mostly out of the picture due to work. As a child, Riley was pressured into playing basketball and beginning karate in order to make himself look better (re: stronger) to his bullies. He eventually gave up both before high school. Giving these up led him to find his passion in drama, as well as nerd culture in general. He's a Tumblr kid and gamer, both of which he misses greatly while stuck in this situation. He also has an unusual love for Kentucky Fried Chicken and cheese. In light of recent discoveries, Riley is questioning his gender and has made an assumption that he might possibly identify as a demiboy, though he's not quite sure about the whole thing. For simplicity’s sake, he is sticking to he/him pronouns. He is a closeted pansexual with a male preference. He is single and has no crush. He is childhood friends with Robin. - [Rainsayer of FireClan]
Robin McCoy - 17 - Junior - Female; she/her The one thing that people recognize and remember first about Robin first is her long, straight carmine hair, with bangs styled as a vague reminder of emo culture. She was born with platinum blonde hair and made the decision to begin dyeing it when she was twelve in order to go along with her nickname, Red. While not recognized school-wide for being one of the most attractive girls, Robin is not bad looking by any means. She has wide, bright blue eyes with naturally long lashes, dimples, and small lips usually in a neutral frown. She has a nostril piercing and two ear piercings. She’s 5’5” and weighs about 135 pounds. Robin's outfit consists of a white band shirt, dark jeans, converses, and a black beanie. To put it simply, Robin is a problem child; always has been, and probably will be for the remainder of her high school career. She’s not constantly causing trouble or constantly the center of attention, but she does often have problems with authority and other people in general. Robin is a free spirit, refusing to waste time worrying about what anyone else thinks - if she wants to do it, she does it. Because of this attitude, she’s notorious for skipping school, picking fights - doing pretty much anything you could expect from her archetype. It's honestly a miracle that she even showed up on the last day. Her rebellious attitude isn't something she gained as a teenager, it's something she's always had in her. Robin has always had her eye on adventure, and being trapped in this school is only holding her back. She loves the bustling city life and, being from this city, knows it like the back of her hand. Despite loving home, she longs to travel the world and discover something more for herself, something beyond emo culture and teenage rebellion. In other words, Robin is currently undergoing an existential crisis. She has no idea what she truly wants in her life, or even who she really is. She feels disconnected from herself and feels that leaving this city would give her a chance to discover just who Robin McCoy is. Robin has a very deep love for music and has varied tastes. She'd love to be a songwriter, but she has very little faith in her writing abilities. She's been playing guitar since sixth grade and is looking to take up piano. Music is the only certainty in Robin's life and it helps keep her grounded. Despite her loud, aggressive appearance, Robin is actually more of a quiet person and she typically prefers to keep herself. She’s independent by nature, keeping very few people close in her life. She’s headstrong, daring, and bold, and surprisingly not hell bent on always being negative, as most would assume. She’s kind to you if you’re kind to her, loyal to her friends, passionate, optimistic, and quite intelligent and empathetic under her impulsiveness. She adores cute things, believe it or not, and is a bit hypocritical with not caring what anyone else thinks, for she likes to keep this as a guilty pleasure. Her only real interests outside of music are the internet and reading, which she leaves little time for as she’s out wandering the city. Robin knows how to fight, and has two knives on her just in case, disregarding the school rules. Robin cares about her childhood friend, Riley, but almost feels obligated to stay by his side. Aside from Riley, she has very little friends, but perhaps the situation could bring her closer to people she didn't think much of before. She has grown distant from her parents over the years, especially due to them not approving of her lifestyle, but she does still care about them and has a small part of her that longs to be more connected. She identifies as heterosexual. She is single and has no crush, with little interest in romance at the moment. - [Rainsayer of FireClan]
Margot Jass - 17 - Junior - Female, she/her Margot is 5'4", a height that she enjoys as it allows her to wear heels without towering over boys. She has long, light blonde hair (not too long, about shoulder blade length) that she usually either curls so that it bounces around her shoulders, or pulls into a ponytail. Her eyes are a light blue. She always wears bright, fashionable, and occasionally not-so-school-appropriate clothing. Makeup-wise, she usually just wears lip gloss, mascara, and some glittery eye shadow. Margot is hot and is known to move from boy to boy, being utterly obsessed until she throws them away. Her father is a plastic surgeon and her mother is a psychiatrist, so Margot has grown up rich, spoiled, and utterly ignored by her parents. As a result she is carefree, bubbly, manipulative and obsessive. Margot is actually pretty nice, even though she seems kind of vicious from the outside. She is loyal to her friends and falls in love easily. That's the real reason why she goes from boy to boy- Margot often feels unloved or ignored and craves the passion and devotion of new relationships. Maybe if she could find a solid group of friends she would be happier. As for academics, Margot does okay. She usually appears quite air headed, but she's actually pretty smart. Margot often makes bad grades simply because she doesn't pay too much attention to schoolwork- people are more important to her. If she applied her obsessive personality to school, Margot would probably be valedictorian. Because of her last name, Margot's friends and boyfriends sometimes playfully call her "Jazz" or "Jazzy". As of the last day of school she's single, since her current boyfriend broke up with her through a friend- she was getting to be "too clingy". As revenge, she's kept his varsity jacket- and now it's locked in the school with her. - [☁-- ᴀ s ᴛ ʀ ɪ ᴅ]
Lauryn Elizabeth Smith - 16 - Junior - Female If you were to look at eye level you wouldn't find Lauryn. Standing at 4'10" and only a couple inches away from being a legal "little person," Lauryn would be easily lost in a crowd if it weren't for her spunky personality and short, bright red hair, complimented by round green eyes. She has a rounder face, but not chubby - so not quite to the point of looking 11. Being mischevious, Lauryn likes to try to fly under the radar sometimes despite her mouth and eye-catching hair. Because of this she is wearing ripped jeans, black tennis shoes, and a plain t-shirt covered by a basic black hoodie - a typical outfit for her. Lauryn comes across as sassy, nosey, and generally annoying. Her favorite thing to do is screw with people. If you can look past this, though, you'll find a good, fun friend. Get close enough and you might realize she's really a lonely child who just wants to be loved. Few people tend to get that far, though, so she's generally pretty unliked by the people who know her. - [Hawkfire]
Tate Cass - 17 - Junior - male, he/him Cass stands just above an average male height at about 6'3 with a lean, muscular build and lightly tanned skin. In two words, Cass gives off a dark and brooding look. His tousled jet black hair and cold icy blue eyes that are normally set into a curious mindset or confident, almost snobbish gaze. His nose is slightly pointed out at a safe amount and his sharp jawline leads down to his pointed chin. His brows are a bit thick but contain a nice, defined arch while his jaw remains slightly chiseled and even a bit more rough when he skips shaving. Cass's lips are slightly plump and a bit more naturally darker in shade and are usually curved up in a smirk or pursed slightly in pending approval. As for his actual smile, you'll rarely see it unless he is genuinely happy or at least a hint of it when he hears a good joke or pun. He has a few veins that pop out along his strong arms and wide set of shoulders but shy away from his toned stomach, legs, and long feet. His body muscle had died down a bit from improper nutrition but remains slightly in tact from swimming in the school's pool. He's also a diabetic. He normally wears a black leather jacket and a faded black tee with dark blue jeans. Due to his fellow swim teammates who had stolen his shoes, he has no option but to walk barefoot unless he feels the need to wear his only pair of socks they left behind. Because he had also brought a bag of swim stuff, he also has a supply of dental hygiene, swim gear, and even school swim apparel that he never wears. Cass has been seen out to be as untrustworthy and even a bit shady just from the looks of him, but once getting to be known those rumors can be put to the side. Although he is a bit cocky in a sarcastic sense, he's caring and enormously understanding. Although he's not the nicest person to be around, Cass likes knowing that he can make others feel the slightest bit better by just being there for them at the end of the day. Cass is also very generous and wise, and tends to wind up in the library reading or even exploring his thoughts while walking the halls. In short, don't believe the rumors about the mysterious Tate Cass because once he's your friend, you truly have someone you can count on and even share a few laughs with. As for the ladies, he's a bit of a mess. He tends to lead girls on without any intention of meaning to, making him receive the status of a jerk. He's not looking for anything serious in a relationship due to everyone being so fragile in the state that they're in and feelings being misconstrued as fear or desperation, but if he does find someone he'll be sure to treat them with sincere respect and treat them properly with small yet sincere acts of affection. His life story isn't too much of a big deal, but growing up was a bit tricky. His father was caught up in a vicious gang as his family lived on the outskirts of the town's ghetto area and died to a fatal gun shot wound. To protect Cass from any harm, his mother had them move to a nice area not too far from the school in a surprisingly large house and raised him to the best she could. As for the day he was locked in school, he had a swim meet after school and had brought the said materials that were needed, causing him the slightest bit of upper hand on clothing and even equipment for his hobby. Cass is an only child. He is not crushing yet and remains single while pursuing only girls, as he is straight. Each day, he writes a letter to his mom and seals it in an envelope to imagine as if he was only traveling afar and he would come home to her soon. - [Queen of Disco]
Tess Milbrok - 16 - Junior - Female Perhaps the most noticeable trait of Tess's is her snark. She can't help it-- she was born with a wit sharper than a razor, and she intends to use it. Often, this comes out in the form of sassy remarks. Depending on who they are targeted at, they can range from warm banter to cold abuse. Tess is quick to grow frustrated with herself, although she can be quite patient with others. Observant, introverted, and slow to forgive. A psych nerd, she understands human emotions all too well and how they affect individual action-- when it comes to her own feelings, however, she's completely clueless. A prolific writer and reader, she spends her free time in the library reading or keeping a log of the days inside the school. What paper she can spare often turns into idle sketches. Tess is cold-sensitive, a saltaholic, and prefers to go barefoot in the abandoned halls (curiously, she walks on the balls of her feet). Tess is fairly ambitious and driven toward her goals, but she often finds herself confused on how exactly to reach them. In many ways, Tess is quite naive. She has never been through a situation more troubling than forgetting homework or moving houses. In other words, she has no traumas and comes from a fairly stably and wealthy home. The more she experiences inside the school over the summer, the more her innocence begins to wear off. Tess is close to her older brother Nathaniel, but their different priorities and mindsets can cause strife a'twixt the two. Tess stands are 5'7", slightly tall for a girl. Her brunette hair, parted to the side, falls in large, loose curls, lightening to dark blonde where it falls at her waist. Her mother once told her she looked like her German ancestors; a slim, square jaw, celestial nose, prominent cheeks, and full lips. She's not drop-dead-gorgeous, but certainly pretty. Blue-gray eyes dart from one face to the next, ever-watching expressions. She is quite animated herself. A slight smile often twitches at the corners of her mouth. Tess isn't in the best shape, hardly athletic. Lucky for her, she hasn't quite hit the stage where she starts growing out rather than up, and weighs a comfortable 120lbs. When they were locked in, she was wearing a pair of dark boot-cut jeans, sneakers, and a black vest over a sleeveless white shirt. - [Shadowstalker]
Loreanna 'Lorie' Fogheart - 17 - Junior - She/her With long, wavy light brown hair and bright caramel eyes, Loreanna Fogheart looks like a slightly average plain Jane if it wasn't for the fact that she's 5'3" in hight. With ripped artisan jeans, a white tank top, an open long sleeve plaid shirt and vans she's dressed to move. With her heart on her sleeve, Loreanna is generally a very bright, energetic person who loves to learn new things. Ranging from books to hands on activities, Loreanna isn't afraid to go out and try her best. She's a quick learner and generally in the top ten people in her grade even if she tends to have a lazy personality when she has no challenges in front of her. She loves to be active by doing things from longboarding to rock climbing in her spare time so she tends to have to be an extravert. The problem for that though is that she's asthmatic to the point where she can't run for long without her albuterol. After a round with a chest cough that just wouldn't go away she developed true vertigo. That caused her to constantly take pills that she couldn't go without. Due to all her health problems, Loreanna took an interest in the medical field, going to the point where she got her First Aid/CPR license. With wearing her heart on her sleeve, people tend to read her like an open book. With that in mind, when she's irritated, she tends to show it pretty easily. She doesn't quite know how to mask her emotions yet so she just goes with the flow, constantly adding flames to the fire that she builds. She's fiercely protective of the ones that she loves, easily going to the point where she goes to blows gladly for them, whether it is with words or hands. Loreanna's motto is Family First. Her family is everything to her and she would go to any lengths to keep them safe. Like Amy, she tends to hold grudges but she would forgive them when they admit to her that they were in the wrong. Because of her active personality, she didn't have time to make much friends but the friends that she did make, they last for years. She refuses to give up on someone and tends to give people more second chances that they deserve. She's a bit of a pushover with her friends but she does have a limit and would stand by that limit even if it means leaving her friends for the time. When she was in elementary school, she was often forgotten by others and when she hit middle school, she was horribly bullied because she was the only one in her grade to get braces that year. Because of those two events she tried her best to change her life around, to be the very best that she could be. She lost a lot of 'friends' that way but she doesn't really mind loosing them because she turned out better than them. She had a huge crush on a guy in middle school but then when he mocked her for having 'train tracks' she decided to give up on the concept of dating at the moment. She's straight but tends to put others before her, including potential love rivals. - [Snowstorm]
Mikael "Mika" Cythens - 17 - Senior - Male/ He-Him Mika stands roughly 5'8" with dark skin and a few freckles spotted across his face. He wears his black hair long, usually pulled back. His eyes are a very dark brown, though he requires glasses to see properly. (That's not to say he always remembers them.) Before getting locked in the building, he'd worn a plainly colored shirt, jeans, and he'd brought a jacket since one of his classrooms tended to have abnormally cold air conditioning. He's somewhat shy and he usually has a rough time gauging other people's personalities in order to make any sort of judgement call for how trustworthy they are. This tends to make him a bit gullible, though even when tricked into making a fool of himself, he does his best to stay friendly and polite. It takes quite a lot to make him speak up and honestly say something's bothering him. Mika tends to keep to himself for the most part, not being entirely accustomed to American culture. He and the rest of his family moved to the states from a small set of islands in the Mid-Pacific after a tropical storm devastated his community. Having a knack for language since long before the move, he picked up English without too much trouble, though he never quite adapted as well as he wanted. His parents did a little better with adapting, though they and a harder time learning English. His brother, Linius, graduated before leaving the islands and is currently struggling through English Second Language classes at the local community college, hoping to find work afterward. Mika never gave any sort of thought to relationships, especially after moving. - [valkoinenleuka]
Cray Woodlow - 18 - Senior At 5'7" with a runners build, Cray doesn't have the most notable appearance, leaving his attitude to draw most of the attention. And speaking of attitude, he's got one. With a superiority complex double his size and twice as strong, he doesn't necessarily boast or brag but lives with a sort of silent confidence, not needing to prove himself to anyone. Cray is a flirt, to say the least, but in his own way. He despises flattery and assumes everyone else does as well, and often places people's personality and moral value over their appearance. He doesn't care where you're from, what you look like, what you practice or who you love, only that you grant everyone their due respect and follow right over wrong. On the day the school closed, Cray was wearing his usual; skinny blue jeans and a black longsleeve shirt, with the sleeves rolled up at the elbows. In his bag he carried his gym clothes and fortunately, a bar of soap and shampoo he used to shower at the gym after school. - [Foxclaw]
Cyrus Koritz - 19 - Senior - Male Cyrus is of average height - about 5’10” - and build, only a little more muscular due to his work with heavy machinery. His shoulders are broad, with hands thick and rough from years of cuts and blisters. Cyrus’ skin is naturally a light tan but often has darker patches due to the grime and grease coating it. His short, unkempt, dirty blond hair likewise looks brown half the time, all matching his light brown eyes behind long lashes to give him an earthy look. Originally he had a diamond tattoo on the side of his left foot - a tribute to an old friend - but after losing his leg in an ugly mechanic accident, Cyrus decided to essentially transfer it to his left cheek to make up for it (he finds the location… cheeky. It was a better idea when he was drunk). Cyrus now sports a rather fancy prosthetic leg, in designed silver metal simply for the aesthetic. Being a senior in his last semester, Cyrus only had a couple of classes a day, so he often came straight from work or his own projects and didn't bother to change. Because of this, he tends to smell like a mix between axe and car oil. He typically wore thick denim blue jeans with legitimate rips and holes, paired with an often stained t-shirt and black boots. When he knew he wasn't going to be working or did bother to change, he'd wear a nicer shirt (often flannel, converse, and sometimes shorts). On the day school ended it was a little bit of both, so the clothes he's now stuck with include a dirty blue t-shirt covered with a nice red flannel, and shorts with his sneakers. Outwardly, Cyrus is like a calm puppy. He is a very friendly and caring person, and will treat anyone he meets like he's known them forever. Oftentimes his eyes are sparkling with lighthearted curiosity, and thin lips parted in a happy, lilting grin. He only acts like this, though, as long as you don't treat him as anything less than an equal. He acts humble but as far as he's concerned, he's above everyone else, and anyone trying to command him will likely end up in a manipulative power struggle. However, as the “alpha” (in his mind), he also has a duty of care, and will gladly lay down his life for just about anyone. Cyrus was born to an upper class (rather snotty) family of lawyers and doctors, but could never find his place in any of what they considered respectable fields. Instead he discovered he has a knack and strong passion for mechanical engineering, and when he was old enough got a job with a mechanic on top of his related school electives, much to the disappointment of his family. They viewed mechanics as dirty work, and made Cyrus always feel lesser for it. This - along with some typical childhood bullying and already feeling unintelligent compared to the other, book smart kids - fueled his desire to be better than everyone, and he works hard to be the best he can be. - [Hawkfire]
Jason Banker - 18 - Senior – Male; He/Him Jason stands at 6’2 with short brown hair and grey eyes. He has a 5 o’clock shadow and messy hair that looks as if he just rolled out of bed. There are soft curls in Jason’s hair and often some will fall over his forehead. Jason’s eyes are a light grey similar to a stone’s color and can either be jovial or a deadly glare. His thick brows are more of a line than an arch and he has medium length lashes. A sly smile often rests on his face especially around friends and people he cares about. However, for most he reserves a scowl for. He has fair skin that will burn rather than tan. Jason wears a Jason wears a sleeveless navy hoodie under a black jacket. He wears grey cargo pants with zippers to make them into shorts and he also has black boots. Face claim is James Marsden. Jason can appear tough and guarded at first but deep down he is just a giant softy. He is loyal, protective, and true to his friends. He will never lie to those he cares about and will always put himself at the front lines to protect others. Jason is bi. Emma and Jason’s parents died in an accident and so they stay with an aunt who just lets them do their own thing. He takes care of Emma more than their aunt. - [thepineappleincident]
Emma Banker - 18 - Senior – Female; she/her stands at 5’3 with brown hair and grey eyes. Her hair has a natural ombre style to it, the ends a honey blond compared to the rest of the brown waves. Her hair reaches the top of her chest and is parted one the left, the right majority slightly falling in front of her right eye. Her dark grey eyes are often narrowed but are big and expressive. She has thin, dark eyebrows and long, dark lashes. Emma has a few piercings much to her brother’s distain. She has a stud on the left side of her nose when you look at her and sometimes it is a ring. In her right ear are three cartilage/helix piercings, the lower one attached to a silver, ball chain that is connected to a piercing on her upper lobe. She has 2g plugs in both earlobes which will either be a galaxy design or owl heads. On her left ear she has a ring in her tragus and just two piercing in her cartilage/helix. She has a fair complexion and tends to tan easily. Emma wears a white tank top underneath a brown hooded jacket with a black jacket that matches her twin brothers. She wears brown hiking boots or she will just walk around in her black ankle socks if she doesn’t feel like wearing her shoes. Emma’s face claim is Sydney Sierota. Emma is the cautious type who clings to her brother and it takes a while for her to warm up to people. She is hot tempered and stubborn, but kinda transparent cause she doesn't hide her thoughts and emotions well. Emma is pansexual though she doesn’t let people get close enough in order to start a relationship. Her parent’s died in an accident so she and her brother stay with their aunt who is never around. Emma is still not over their deaths. - [thepineappleincident]
Emmeline "Lumi" Chosai - 18 - Senior - Female, She/Her {Straight} Lumi stands at 5"8, with a skinny, fit body which she has worked hard on to keep in shape. She has the hint of a six pack, though it's not too much to seem overly buff or scary looking. Her skin colour is a natural white colour, but is usually tinged tan due to her exercising outside a lot. She has a medium sized chest, and just the right amount of curves to be attractive, but Lumi tries not to flaunt this fact. She has a mature look to her face, with plump pink lips, a nose that just seems to fit in, and slightly narrowed eyes that hold a tone of rebellious to them. Dotted across the bridge of her nose are a bunch of freckles, also on the top of her cheeks, on her shoulders and some other places on her body. Shading her eyes are long, blonde eyelashes, though she wears makeup to make them black, seeing as blonde eyelashes can make you look like you have no eyelashes. Her eyecolour, in question, reflects the colours of the sea, being a blueish green colour. Speckled through them are lighter splashes of the same colour, almost as if it's the sea foam splashing up onto the shore or over the waves. Her hair is a natural bleach blonde colour that reaches her lower back, but she had bangs pulled across her forehead and clipped back sort of like Ariel from 'The Little Mermaid'. Her hair is pretty straight, but has a good amount of volume in it so that it's not pin straight and has a slight wave. Mixed in through her hair are various blue highlights, something which Lumi's artistic side called her to do. She doesn't have any piercings, but she has a tattoo on her wrist that says 'you are art'. Lumi is an artist. Therefore, she could be many different things, but she is rather reserved and quiet, but not in a way that she doesn't like to speak to others. She's kinda like... Senpai. Someone you look up to. She's not afraid to help others out and give advice, but she also won't go out of the way to do so. When she answers questions in class, she raises her hand quickly, answers with the sweetest of smiles and a curt nodd, then returns to her work. Unfortunately, because of her personality, she can sometimes be seen as unapproachable and distant from those around her. Which, in a way, is true. Lumi prefers to be alone with just her and her art. If someone were to interrupt her mid paint or mid draw, she would only give them a death glare before returning back to her work. She sometimes, though she tries to keep her head in the game, can be caught daydreaming in class and not paying attention. She struggles with this balance all the time, causing her marks to be decent and not the best that it could be at. Once you get to know her, Lumi's pretty nice of person, though she's quite selective on who she likes and can appear to be even fake at times. Though, with her few true friends, she's loving and sweet and can even tease and pull jokes sometimes, though she usually sounds serious and is hardly sarcastic. Or is she even joking in the first place? As well as being an artist, Lumi is a cheerleader. She had some unfortunate problems with a rebellious group and a boy during her earlier years, but she doesn't like to speak about it. - [ɴɪɢʜᴛғᴇᴀᴛʜᴇʀ]
Nathaniel Milbrok - 18 - Senior - Male Cautious, creative, and careless is the alliteration that describes Nathaniel. Two of those might seem like an oxymoron, but anyone who knows Nathaniel understands how perfectly it paints him. When it comes to personal decisions, Nathaniel is sure to calculate all the risks involved; the cons rarely deter him, whatever they might be, and often follows through regardless. He's a "look-before-you-leap, then leap anyways" sort of guy. (He argues that it's not careless if he's going in with eyes wide in acknowledgement of the dangers the action encompasses). Nathaniel is, for lack of a better phrase, too smart for school. His mind is like a sponge, soaking up everything academia has to offer, with little effort involved. Too lazy to complete his homework, complaining that he already understands the concept-- why should he have to prove that twenty times over with tedious answers to insufferable questions? Some might think him over-estimating his smarts, but his near-perfect scoring on tests justifies his claims. In short, Nathaniel is a brilliant daredevil who finds little challenge in school, and thus seeks to slate his thirst for creativity elsewhere. If you need someone to scheme, he's your guy. On a more personal level, Nathaniel has his issues like anyone else. After being bullied ruthlessly in middle school by those he considered friends, this senior is slow to trust anyone. In times of emotional chaos, he remains eerily calm and detached-- he claims its a skill her learned in order to focus at times his thoughts would otherwise be clouded. After seeing his older sister go through an emotionally abusive relationship, and due to his own trust issues, he is extremely protective of his younger sister Tess on all social levels. This, in turn, can lead to periods of warmth or tension between the two siblings. His physical appearance betrays his above-par intellect; in other words, he's average looking. Standing at 5'11", Nathaniel has mildly curly, dark brown hair that he keeps at a fair short length of two inches. A pair of pecan-brown eyes sit above a slightly snub nose, glinting with mischief. Nathaniel has an aristocratic face, highlighted by his sloping jawline. More on the athletic than geeky side, Nathaniel plays on the school baseball team, a mediocre player. He does have particularly broad shoulders, as well as finely-boned hands adept at fiddling. - [Shadowstalker]
