Welcome to the quaint, coastal town of Ross, Washington. It's a small place, known as a tourist town thanks to gorgeous views, water-based activities, as well as the supposed supernatural lore of the place. Being a very old place, right by the water, there are bound to be stories about terrifying sea monsters. Expect a few sea shanties from the pubs in town. It's the kind of place where technology isn't quite so necessary to keep up to date on the local drama, as things spread fast enough through word of mouth. The weather is pretty decent, never absolutely freezing, only chilly enough to warrant a centimeter or two of snow. Otherwise, sun showers are a common occurrence. The youth in town are mostly concerned with escaping the place as soon as they can. But I suppose how this all turns out is up to you. “I was a very minor missionary, actually a heretic, but I toiled wholeheartedly in the vineyards because it was fun, fun, fun. Where else could a red-blooded American boy lie, kill, cheat, steal, ****, and pillage with the sanction and blessing of the All-Highest?”Welcome to ᵀʰᵉʸ ʷᵉʳᵉᶰ'ᵗ ˡᵒᵒᵏᶤᶰᵍ ᶠᵒʳ ᵃ ᶠᶤᵍʰᵗ! From the quote "They weren't looking for a fight. They were looking to belong,” by S.E Hinton in The Outsiders. This is your average gang rp, set in modern times, in a tourist trap town in Washington. The two gangs are tight-knit groups of friends with a simple rivalry, existing only because... who else are they to rival? School drama, forbidden love, occasional violence, family-esque relationships. All the usual, with the added bonus of some local superstition. All I ask is decent length of posts, you be pretty active, be nice, and lots of drama. Who likes boring and mundane, right? TO JOIN Write a (preferably small) description that includes the character's name, age, pronouns/gender, sexuality, appearance, personality, and their role (which gang/not part of gang/job/whatever you want, really)
"Staff advisers inform me that during such tasks for us, CENTER LANE sources have often "made contact" far beyond what might be expected by probabilities and coincidence"POINTS OT INTERESTRoss, Washington might be a small town, but there are still plenty of places to visit! Here will be listed places around town, and a little tidbit about them. This is always subject to change is new information is found out, or if anyone has any suggestions for new areas. Otto-Ross High School (ORHS): More commonly referred to simply as Ross High, it is located on, you guessed it, the convergence of the main town road, Ross, and Otto lane, a neighborhood located nearby. Sitting on a hill that overlooks the boardwalk and the village, kids are allowed to leave campus during lunch or free periods. The previous building had been destroyed in a fire, which means kids get to go to a pretty, new building, with a modern architecture feel and plenty of windows. The only high school in the town, it is two stories tall, with a large auditorium (they like their arts here) and gymnasium, as well as a pool building. A generator can run most things in the high school when power in the town goes out. The Boardwalk and Ira Beach: Easily the largest draw to the town, it looks like something out of the 50s. All bright colors, flashing lights, family run restaurants lining the wood, hot dog carts parked in the sand, colorful umbrellas perched to cast shade, a pier with rides and an arcade, and a cobbled roadway leading to the nearby village. There's always some kind of event going on. It's the place to be.- Callie's Diner: a cute, two story diner themed off the overall amusement park vibe of the board walk. It's a main hangout for the Gulls.
- Munchis: a small tent-like building that sells sweets such as ice cream, popcorn, fried dough and pretzels.
- Gabriele's Family Italian Restaurant
- Ira Harbor
The Village: The oldest part of town, and the cutest. It's a colorful mixture of small colonial houses, many now outfitted to be businesses, and googie architecture buildings. It consists of two streets, the main town road of Ross street (if you follow it east, you'll reach the school), and the perpendicular N. Flicker lane. To the northeast of the intersection of these roads is the village park, an expanse of green grass and trees, with a fountain or two, benches, paths; a nice place to have a picnic, and still get some people-watching in. The village is rather small, only being the buildings direction on the streets and nearby the intersection. However, this is where most main buildings are located such as the town hall, the police station, the movie theater, and community theater.- Flicker AMC Theater
- Bell Creek Roller Rink
- Bell Creek Alleys & Arcade
Flicker Woods: Following N. Flicker north, as you might guess, will land you here. It's named after the woodpeckers, implying that this is a good place to go bird watching. Though, you should be warned, it'snot very smart to wander out here at night. They say the wildlife gets particularly nasty once the lights shut off, although interestingly, many birds continue to sing throughout the night.
Otto Middle School: To the north of ORHS, within view of the high school's vantage on a hill, in fact, is the middle school. Grades 6 through 9 are taught here. It's an older building, which lacks efficient air conditioning, unfortunately for the students. Most kids walk or ride their bikes to school, with only a few buses covering the town. It's one story, flat and wide. Make sure to plan the best route to your class so you aren't late. The cafeteria is located in the basement of the school, a welcome escape from the heat upstairs. Interestingly, the cafeteria seems to have been an old bunker, with the two entrances being large doors that can lock up. Ross Island and Kover Oceanography and Marine Life Research Institution: Off the coast, a small island hangs out in the waters of the ocean. This is the aptly named Ross Island, formerly the location of a military fort. Later, the Kover family were allowed to repurpose the place into a research center. The beach where the workers return to land is known as Kover beach, and off-limits to non-personnel. Same goes for the island itself. Due to this shady appearance, as well the apparent connection to the U.S. government, The Kover Institute has become Ross' very own government conspiracy theory. "The objective of this program is to determine from a search of pertinent literature whether countermeasures may exist against psycho- energetic intrusions.” Serpent's Towers: a small wooded area surrounds Kover beach, with a few hills on the way back to town. At the top of the tallest of these hills stands two, tan water towers. Ever heard of a lover's rock? The town's go-to place for teens to makeout? This is Ross' equivalent to that. Teenagers climb to the top of a tower and stare at the stars. Course, if you just want to hang out here, there's nothing stopping you. Well, except for the occasional times some official person actually comes around. Be careful then.

Some information on the history of the town and the urban legends that circulate around, the general attitude of folks and the two gangs.
The folks in town are a generally nice population, with plenty of fishermen, grandparents, and kids sprinting down the boardwalk enjoying a sunny day. Being a coastal town, people obviously enjoy their water-based activities. Better get your summer bod into shape, because you'll be showing off skin most of the year. Crime- at least serious crime -doesn't really happen in this town. The most chaos caused are the two gangs occasionally stealing a bag of chips, or breaking into the high school at night to invade the cafeteria snack supply. It's a safe place where everyone knows everyone, and only the bustle of summer tourism can mildly upset things. Like most small towns, Ross is set in its ways and traditions, with festivals galore, town movie night in the park, or the "must see" community production of Grease.
Located by the ocean means this town had a history of crazy sailors spewing malarkey about sea serpents or Cthulhu's inevitable rise. A common story told by the seniors in town is that a nessie-like monster used to call Ross Island home, until the military killed it to build a fort there. The bay supposedly ran red for hours, and this encounter supposedly spurred the military to genetically engineer animals, in an attempt to recreate that same monster. The mean creatures in Flicker woods are said to be the failed results of this. However, while Kover Institute might be a little shady, they're open with their activities beyond not allowing non-personnel on the island. Besides that, some like to tell tales of other sea monsters, still lurking in the depths of the bay. Bell creek is named after the urban legend that states the ghost of an old lighthouse keeper wanders around with a burning lamp that rings as he walks. The people of Ross really love their legends.
Now to the part you're probably most interested in: the gangs. Now, I should warn you, neither of these gangs are scary or very hardcore. They don't even make it to Outsiders level. It's just two groups of friends who occasionally get into tussles or steal. The age range for both gangs can be anywhere from 10 to 20, though by that time most people have moved on to something more "mature."
The Muskrats The older gang of the two, it was created by a small group of friends in the mid 90s, and continued on as a sort of tradition in this close-knit friend group. They tend to be pretty popular kids in school, and have a way of generating more confidence from a person, being a bit more outgoing and less knowledgeable of a person's limits. They have no specific hang out spot but enjoy the beach quite a lot. The main area to gather is usually wherever the current "leader" works, which in this case would be at Munchis. The Gulls The "hip" gang, if you'd like to refer to it as such. They tend to be the less violent, actually spawned from a Muskrat feeling ignored by their friends and making their own little group. They are more of the outlier types. Their preferred hang out spot is at Callie's Diner.

The Muskrats Savannah "Sav" Byrne
Sav is 16 years old, a highly sarcastic munchkin standing at 5'8". She has lots of experience camping and participating in other outdoors activities, although is definitely the girlier of the two sisters. She definitely enjoys her fashion, although would prefer to go without jewelry and only eye makeup. She quite loves her freckles, why would she want to cover those up? Her hair is a dusty, red-brown, with warm hazel eyes. As stated before, she's incredibly sarcastic, with a flirty sense of humor and a warm confidence, wherein she seems to have a talent to include everyone in her dealings. Which means she's pretty likable, perhaps why she's considered the faux-leader of the Muskrats. Overall, she's your average teenager who enjoys silly romance, hanging out with friends, occasional shoplifting, and is always up for an adventure. She attends ORHS, works at Munchies, and is a few years ahead in math. Currently in a questioning phase. Her faceclaim is Madison Lintz.
Alexa Wright
Alexa, 17, is a rather independent woman. Standing at 5’5, Alexa is rather average in that aspect. She is very toned and stays in shape, running every morning after she gets up for at least two miles. She has a tattoo of the Celtic knot for strength on her upper left arm and a blue and pink lotus on the other arm. On her upper back is a moth that fits between her shoulder blades with the head just below where her neck ends. On her fingers are the different phases of the moon and stars on the place the thumb meets the palm. On her left forearm is a doe and on the right is a stag. She plans to get more tattoos later. Her jaw is set which almost gives her face a square type of look though it’s mostly oval shaped. Her eyes are brown and look as though they could care less, framed by long dark lashes. Her eyebrows are her natural hair color which was brown but her short hair is always changing. Right now it is blue but it never stays the same. The left side of her hair is cut closer to the scalp and her right side is combed back with a little volume towards the front. She has pale skin that will tan easily and won’t burn. Alexa wears a loose greyish blue tank top or a grey crop top with a black leather jacket over it. She wears black leggings and black boots that add an inch to her height. Her face claim is Ashley Nicolette Frangipane aka Halsey. Alexa is independent to a fault. She walks to the beat of her own drum and is as stubborn as a bull. She is eager to fight and gets defensive rather easily. She knows who are the people she should and shouldn’t fight with though she rarely adheres to that knowledge. She sings almost all the time, everywhere and anywhere. She is better at expressing herself through music than words.
Jonnie Muraoka
Jonnie is 16 years old and stands around 5'7". Gangly and lean, they are long in every sense of the word. Their face is lean, with an angular jaw and narrow, upturned eyes. Shoulder length hair is usually drawn up into a bun, though there are typically loose strands framing their lightly tanned skin. One of the more extreme gang members, Jonnie is a ball of energy. They run headfirst into every obstacle and is the definition of 'Fight me!' Which they would typically lose if they're going without backup. They tend to encourage a little trouble and is constantly looking for the next thrill. However, they're constantly masking fears and insecurities with as much bravado as possible. Jonnie isn't the sort to admit when they're having troubles and will deflect any questions about their own problems like a champion. A member of the Muskrats, Jonnie's as loyal as the day is long and isn't afraid of anything in this world.
Richard "Risher" Geels
Risher is 17 years old, standing somewhere around 6'3" in height and towering over most of his friends. His skin is an earthy tan color, with styled wavy dark brown hair and dark amberish eyes. There's a pale scar that runs up the right side of his face and over his eye, and if you ask where it came from he'd give you a very inflated answer. Which, is a very easy way to describe him- unnecessarily extra about a lot of things, and twisting the truth to fit his preferences. In this way, he's a bit of a jerk. A huge jerk. Awful, really, but his manipulative nature does a poor job of masking his desire for attention and for people to like him. Because of this, he's definitely got a superiority complex and is meticulous about keeping his friends close and his enemies closer. He toys with people for fun, and bottles his guilt dangerously and has a tough time sorting through his emotions. He generally keeps only a few close friends, and his other relationships are questionable. The exuberant and joking part of his nature is quite genuine, at least when he's not trashing someone else. With his "cool" scar and muscular build, Risher seems pretty intimidating but tends to turn to others to solve his messes. He's a part of the Muskrats, and an open bisexual.
Gilbert "Gil" Davenport
Gil is a tall seventeen-year-old, standing roughly around six foot three inches, who sports a mane of natural dirty-blond hair which leans closer to a brown shade. His hair is cut short, however it has a considerable length - long enough to be messy in an attractive way due to him having a habit of running his hands through his hair. Due to a strong jaw and thicker, straight eyebrows, the boy gives off the impression of constantly being annoyed and/or angry, which is rarely ever the case. Gil - who sports a nicer tan year-round despite his fairer skin - is one of the loudest muskrats. He's known for his boisterous personality and ability to make mischief no matter what. A lover of plans, he often tries to lead situations he's in since he does have he ability to switch to being stern and commanding within a moment. When it comes to girls, Gil's down to be quite the flirt. During the summers, Gil lifeguards down at the beach (which explains the tan) even though it isn't a job that's necessarily needed, and during the winters he helps his dad at his dad's garage working on the cars. Due to this, which started as a job at thirteen, his hands are rough and scared from various cuts he's gotten over the years. His biggest scar, however, graces his eyebrow, stretching to his forehead from where he was bit by a dog when he was about one.
Robin "Bobbi" Byrne
Bobbi is 12 years old, her sister's sibling through and through. She's a slight 4'10", but shows a similar adoration for sarcasm, sardonicism and bluntness, perhaps even more so than her sibling. She gets very angry when people refer to this attitude as edgy for her age. Considering how honest she is, sometimes to a fault, this seems to genuinely be how she sees things. Of course, she still has a youthful sort of innocence, wishing to believe in the good in things, and always giving people a second chance. However, she'll still call people out on their wrong-doings. Although fairly mature for her age, she loves sweets and to annoy the older members of the game. Nonetheless, she remains the little heart of the group, liked by both the Muskrats and Gulls, and the town in general. Much like Sav, Bobbi loves outdoorsy activites, daddy's girl through and through. Her faceclaim is Emilia Jones. The Gulls Elijah "Eli" Lucas
Eli is 17 years old, Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam dolor metus, aliquet in ligula sit amet, vestibulum laoreet elit. Quisque rhoncus blandit quam aliquam egestas. Duis fermentum nibh quis metus scelerisque fringilla. Sed a dui vel ipsum iaculis dignissim. Duis congue facilisis libero, vel suscipit est euismod ut. Donec accumsan elit libero. Sed nunc nulla, congue vel venenatis ut, aliquet ut arcu. In eu sapien eu purus commodo luctus. Interdum et malesuada fames ac ante ipsum primis in faucibus. Duis efficitur volutpat sem. Nunc in congue est. Phasellus vel nulla dapibus, vulputate nulla ac, ullamcorper lorem. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos himenaeos. Proin non pretium quam. Duis ultrices orci quis ultricies elementum. Morbi id nisl ac sapien eleifend rhoncus nec a velit. His faceclaim is Tony Revolori.
Riley Lockhart
Riley is a 17 year old who stands around 5’5, her skin tone being a fair porcelain tone and her body can only be explained as athletic due to her many years of swimming. Her jawline is soft, not too round and not too angular. Riley's eyes are a deep pools of sea green and are framed by long dark lashes. She has long dark mocha brown hair that reaches past the middle of her back in a gentle tumble of waves and curls with her bangs parted to the right slightly covering her eyes. She also has a blonde streak of hair running through her hair as well. Riley is a clear-headed and brilliant young woman. She is friendly and cheerful, always being curious and not worrying much about things. She usually tries to raise the spirits of others, making her the mood maker of the group. She has problems reading the atmosphere in situations and just speaks out what comes to mind, sometimes making others surprised at her actions. However, Riley can also be very stubborn and strong willed, causing the young woman to be quite confident in her abilities, to a fault and the only nice thing about that is that she bounces back quickly when things don't work her way. Also she has a little smirk that she pulls every once in awhile that shows her cool, laid back, and somewhat mischievous side. Riley is bisexual which took her some time to finalize, but with the support of her parents she has proudly stated that she is bisexual. She is currently a junior at ORHS and also works at Callie's Diner. Her faceclaim is Suzanne Hanson
Todd McHale
Todd, 17, is athletic, standing at 5’9 with a muscular build, with mischief in his heart. Todd has short black hair and slightly larger ears than most. He has dark brown eyes that seem to be unfocused at times and taunting every other time. He has a widows peak and a slightly big forehead. His dark black hair lies flat on his head and is short yet not cropped to close to his scalp. He often runs his fingers through his hair when embarrassed or exasperated. His eyebrows are thick and dark with a small scar at the inside of the right one, making a little bald spot in his brow. His lashes are thin and somewhat slightly shorter than a medium length but his eyes are expressive even without lashes drawing attention to them. Todd has a light tan and will tend to not tan or burn. Todd has never been the best at anything, even sports, so he never puts the effort into anything. He will blow off even the simplest of tasks to do nothing. He is guarded and a jerk who just likes to mess with people. Todd’s face claim is Dave Franco.
Emma Banker
An eighteen year old woman who 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 disdain. 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 is the solitary type who tears herself apart out of self-hate and pity. She gets depressed often and has a morbid outlook on life. She is hot tempered and stubborn, never giving in even if her way is the harder option. Emma will often lash out for no reason and clings to her emotions, keeping them bottled up. She suffers slight depression. She believes she killed her parents because she was the reason they were out. Her face claim is Sydney Sierota.
Fayez Rahel
Fayez is 16 years old, average-heighted and average almost everything. His height is somewhere around 5'8", with a lean and not too impressive stature. His skin is dark, and his black hair is shaved on the sides, leaving his natural curly hair in a puffy Mohawk dyed blonde. Fayez is an extremely personable guy, and loves to joke around and make people laugh. He can never stand tense atmospheres, so he tends to stray away from any of the violence in the gangs, which is mostly why he's a member of The Gulls. With a laid-back nature, Fayez is extremely easy to talk to and can get along with just about anyone. He's always willing to help someone out, even if it's inconvenient to him. As nice as he sounds, Fayez tends to lose track of his tone and often gets in trouble for it, especially with teachers. Basically always in the wrong place at the wrong time. He can get a little heated if he thinks someone is taking advantage of his kindness, and is overly protective of his friends. He dresses in very street-punk clothes and can seem rather unapproachable from afar. He has a bit of a problem of ignoring how he truly feels about things, which is why he is frustrated about being questioning. Fayez works at the Bell Creek Arcade and has an unnecessarily huge knowledge of nerdy things. Townsfolk Athalia "Talli" Kover Talli is 28 years old, 5'9", and buff as all heck. What can she say, she likes staying active, not to mention living on the ocean tends to make one have an affinity for swimming. Well, that and a fear of the ocean. Yeah, the second youngest member of the Kover family (her brother's daughter takes the youngest title), founders of the Institution and an integral part of the town's history, loves to swim in pools, but has a fear of the ocean. To top it off, she actually works at the Institution, as the ferryman. Yep, her daily job is to move people across her fear. Ironic, huh? When not working, she enjoys taking friends or kids (ie, the gangs) out on her ferry, which is pretty small, but still works well enough to go off-shore fishing. She is easily the least enigmatic figure of the Kover family, always wanting to make sure her family- or at least herself -is seen in a positive light rather than the negative that superstitious people have painted her as. Talli is very intelligent, kind, and a bit of a push over, with a vague air of mystery to her, as all Kover family does. Her faceclaim is Katinka Housszu (yes, the olympic swimmer lol).
Marceline Porter Marcy, 24, has a rather approachable appearance which works well with her personality. Standing at 5’6, she feels as if her height is fairly average. Her green eyes are expressive and seem to grow lighter in the light, turning almost a greenish grey. Marcy’s eyebrows are a bit darker than her hair and arch long and thin along the bone while her lashes and long and thick. A light line of freckles covers her nose and cheeks which aren’t that noticeable against her light skin tone. Her reddish brown hair falls in waves to her shoulders and slightly below almost to the bottom of her shoulder blades. She has bangs that are swept across her forehead going along with the left part of her hair, giving the right side of her head more hair and often her hair is swept over her right shoulder. Her hair often never stays the same shade for more than a month if she can get her hands on some dye. Marcy has a slender build and a smile on her face. Her face claim is Emma Stone. Marceline generally doesn’t give a damn what people think of her. If she wants to be a goofball, she’ll be a goofball. If she wants to be selfish, she’ll be selfish. If she wants to dance and sing at the wrong time and place, she will dance and sing at the wrong time and place. If she wants to sleep, well you get the picture. She will be serious when she has to but as a supportive person, Marcy prefers to cheer people up the best she can. She likes to sing and writes her own lyrics. She has an apology song and will bombard someone with it if she has wronged them in any way. She is a drama teacher at the high school.
Jason Banker An eighteen year old man who 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 can appear tough and guarded at first glance 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. He gets frustrated with Emma often but will always love her. Face claim is James Marsden. He works at the movie theater.
Oliver Weston Oliver, more commonly referred to by his last name, is a fresh-faced 30 year old. He is the newest member of Ross Police Department, always looking to do some good. His actual plan is to become a private investigator. An actually licensed one, rather than the work he did while growing up in Seattle. He's a classic tale of a kid on the streets who found a role model to look up to, who happened to be a police officer, and fell into his footsteps. So, here he is. In tiny-town Ross. He's not particularly thrilled, but it's not in Weston's nature to think negatively. No, he's a determined one, always looking for the silver lining, even if it's something as small as ice cream parlors being a short walk away from the station. He is a highly empathetic individual, gives the best hugs around, but can be surprisingly calculating and cold. Emotions seem to be a puzzle to him, something he has to figure out and solve. Add in his natural tendency to snoop around in other people's business, he makes a great detective. His faceclaim is Alfred Enoch.
Kimi Nam Kimi is a 29 year old Korean woman working as a police officer in Ross. If you call her Kim, she'll probably kill you with her bare hands. Of course, she is rather intimidating right off the bat. Her height is a rather impressive 6'1, and she's as fit and buff as all gets out, with an expression to match- it's actually rather unusual to see her smile. She has a round face and dark eyes, as well as long black hair that is generally kept up in a bun or ponytail when she's on duty. Kimi may seem like she's rather ruthless, but she's dedicated to her job and protecting the citizens of Ross. Although, this doesn't meant she's tolerant of any bs from anyone, and isn't a particularly merciful officer except to younger kids (and animals, but she'd never let you hear word of it.) Really, she isn't the easiest to approach but her calm and stern expression can be easily broken with a bit of light humor and teasing of her colleagues. Kimi is definitely the 'does not have enough energy or willpower to deal with you' type of person, and kind of comes off as a little distant and cold, keeping to herself generally, but manages to forge more friendships than enemies. She is sweet at heart and dotes on her friends, but doesn't really take kindly to stupidity or recklessness from colleagues. Hard-hitting and kind of terrifying, she's level-headed and has a strong punch. Tries to shoulder the responsibility all on her own and is quite stubborn. She is also bisexual.
Wallis Rahel Wallis is 13 years old, and is a bit small for a boy his age. He's around 5'2 in height with a small frame, in the way that clothes never look like they properly fit him. His skin is dark and his hair is a lot like his brother's except that instead of having a Mowhak his hair is short around his head, leaving a poof of curly hair on the top, all black. Generally, his most iconic feature is the bright yellow jacket he almost never takes off. Essentially, Wallis seems like the complete opposite of his brother. He's not very responsible and doesn't really like to do any kind of work, and only really helps people if they're his good friend. He's very independent and for the most part keeps to himself, although with his blunt attitude it's not hard. Most people might just say he has an attitude, but really he's just very intolerant of people. Deep down he's a big goof, but feels embarrassed if people see him being too silly. Most of the time he's getting himself into some kind of mess, and can usually get himself out of it. Usually. He's a tech nerd and is never seen without his phone. Sticks his nose in The Gulls' business whenever possible.

Jonnie Muraoka
Jonnie is 16 years old and stands around 5'7". Gangly and lean, they are long in every sense of the word. Their face is lean, with an angular jaw and narrow, upturned eyes. Shoulder length hair is usually drawn up into a bun, though there are typically loose strands framing their lightly tanned skin. One of the more extreme gang members, Jonnie is a ball of energy. They run headfirst into every obstacle and is the definition of 'Fight me!' Which they would typically lose if they're going without backup. They tend to encourage a little trouble and is constantly looking for the next thrill. However, they're constantly masking fears and insecurities with as much bravado as possible. Jonnie isn't the sort to admit when they're having troubles and will deflect any questions about their own problems like a champion. A member of the Muskrats, Jonnie's as loyal as the day is long and isn't afraid of anything in this world.

Todd McHale(17): Todd is athletic, standing at 5’9 with a muscular build, with mischief in his heart. Todd has short black hair and slightly larger ears than most. He has dark brown eyes that seem to be unfocused at times and taunting every other time. He has a widows peak and a slightly big forehead. His dark black hair lies flat on his head and is short yet not cropped to close to his scalp. He often runs his fingers through his hair when embarrassed or exasperated. His eyebrows are thick and dark with a small scar at the inside of the right one, making a little bald spot in his brow. His lashes are thin and somewhat slightly shorter than a medium length but his eyes are expressive even without lashes drawing attention to them. Todd has a light tan and will tend to not tan or burn. Todd has never been the best at anything, even sports, so he never puts the effort into anything. He will blow off even the simplest of tasks to do nothing. He is guarded and a jerk who just likes to mess with people. Todd’s face claim is Dave Franco. He is a Gull. Alexa Wright(17): Alexa is a rather independent woman. Standing at 5’5, Alexa is rather average in that aspect. She is very toned and stays in shape, running every morning after she gets up for at least two miles. She has a tattoo of the Celtic knot for strength on her upper left arm and a blue and pink lotus on the other arm. On her upper back is a moth that fits between her shoulder blades with the head just below where her neck ends. On her fingers are the different phases of the moon and stars on the place the thumb meets the palm. On her left forearm is a doe and on the right is a stag. She plans to get more tattoos later. Her jaw is set which almost gives her face a square type of look though it’s mostly oval shaped. Her eyes are brown and look as though they could care less, framed by long dark lashes. Her eyebrows are her natural hair color which was brown but her short hair is always changing. Right now it is blue but it never stays the same. The left side of her hair is cut closer to the scalp and her right side is combed back with a little volume towards the front. She has pale skin that will tan easily and won’t burn. Alexa wears a loose greyish blue tank top or a grey crop top with a black leather jacket over it. She wears black leggings and black boots that add an inch to her height. Her face claim is Ashley Nicolette Frangipane aka Halsey. Alexa is independent to a fault. She walks to the beat of her own drum and is as stubborn as a bull. She is eager to fight and gets defensive rather easily. She knows who are the people she should and shouldn’t fight with though she rarely adheres to that knowledge. She sings almost all the time, everywhere and anywhere. She is better at expressing herself through music than words. She is part of the Muskrats.
