CHARACTER SUMMARY, INSPIRATION, AND FUTURE: To be honest, if you looked at Lukas' lifestyle, you would not have a high opinion on him. He's a deadbeat drug dealer who spends his free time playing video games until 6 a.m., passing out until 3 p.m., running errands in the night and then repeating the cycle. You won't have high hopes for him getting far in life. Lukas does do business in the drug industry so by nature, he's a little shifty. He's got issues with communication, not in the sense in that he'll ignore you or be a dick in not getting back to you, but if you're not supposed to know some *, he won't talk about it around you. He'll leave you in the dark if you're not meant to know something. Lukas can hide things and insecurities very well behind his cheerful veneer. He hides his true feelings on something or mingles his reactions with actually forthcoming ones just to throw people off sometimes. He's laidback to the point of annoying half the time. Like he doesn't give a * or really care, and when he does sober up, it's like "holy * it has to be something serious". He's vigilant with internet and drug deal security. He never conducts transactions in his home. Some mundane things are actually acts of trust coming from him, like being let into his room.

As a part of this lackadaisical game, Lukas will do anything with this #yolo don't give a * attitude. However, he usually has to be bribed to do it. Even with his friends, he'll grin and say "that'll cost ya" until they pay him in food or something. He's a little selfish. He looks out for himself and his things when considering his options. Additionally, he doesn't show empathy readily with others. He's absolute * at relationships because he gets bored with the other person easily. However, this apathy mixed with absent-mindedness had led him to be a good hacker and programmer. Lukas' bond with his computer means that he can take up friendships and his communicative distance isn't as much of an issue. Talking over text messages or email automatically assumes delay as a factor; Lukas can take as much time as he wants to reply. However, as a person intimately familiar with the web universe, this man is all too familiar with how other people can use and abuse him. In some regard, he'd rather betray the world than have the world betray him. He isn't open with other people (but has a different concept of "openness" than others), and Luke has a low opinion on others by default.

Lukas doesn't have a temper. He keeps his anger inside a carefully constructed cage, always behind a *-eating grin. Diplomacy is a useful tool in the real world. There's no sense in being hot-headed when his rivals can just blow up his home in retaliation. Luke has to always be able to read a situation and predict the values. Life isn't like programming where you can test the code multiple times and fix the error. Lukas projects the possible reactions and when he receives one, he logs it for later use, even if it's a temporary setback. He's *ing brilliant, but his machine-like apathy results in him having few (if any) friends and even lazier mindset in a group setting. Even with his vigilance regarding security, Lukas isn't the type to aggressively obsess over it verbally. He's very casual when speaking about it since it's a fact of life for him. Again, that hotheaded hero * doesn't fly with him. He's not the considerate family man. He's introverted with a thirst for always being above the danger zone. Skirting around things and dancing a dance of "nope, not today, Death" is the way he runs *.[/fancypost]

CHARACTER SUMMARY, INSPIRATION, AND FUTURE: Make no mistake, while she may look harmless and fragile to some, behind that small force is a loud voice. Siobhan is outspoken and has no qualms about making her opinion known. She is a spirited gal bursting with energy, even if she doesn't show it sometimes. She will at least make the effort to make friends, although this is able to change if the situation calls for it. She expects mutual communication and would rather give up than die trying with dead methods. She will demand nothing short of excellence. There isn't anything such as "you tried your best" niceties from her end. If that's your best and you don't cut it, get the hell out. What she lacks in size she makes up with a mouthy attitude.

She has decent work ethic. Siobhan is organised and diligent, and once set on a goal, she will do her utmost in ensuring its success, although she will admit defeat when she knows she cannot overcome certain obstacles. She is well aware of her strengths and her limitations and doesn't seek to push herself to extremes. She will recognize hard work, but it often goes forgotten when she becomes too focused on the end result. Siobhan is bossy and likes to be in a position of power. When she isn't, she isn't afraid of outright challenging that authority and will go to ends to prove that she is equally committed, if not more to what she does. If put in her place, she will grudgingly be a follower, and will not hesitate to try and prove herself time and time again.

To be capable of such requires a headstrong will, which is both to her advantage and her downfall. Siobhan can be bull headed about matters that she has a strong opinion about, and her stubbornness is to a fault. She dislikes things that don't follow her agenda, and especially things that directly undermine her position or actively oppose her. She is at least determined to prove her worth to her parents. It's not much of a surprise that she hates being told what to do. This defiance manifests itself in her slightly rebellious ways. If she knows a plan is doomed to fail, she won't even bother listening, and would rather go ahead with her own plans. This has shown mixed results - sometimes she succeeds and get to show off and brag about it, sometimes she messes up and begrudgingly swallows her pride. She'll sulk about it for days and try to brush it off, then bounce back from the setback. If anything, failures only serve to strengthen her resolve in whatever she does.

CHARACTER SUMMARY, INSPIRATION, AND FUTURE: It’s not hard to confuse Samuel, to say the least. There’s plenty of things he’s surprisingly unguarded against—virtually anything, even a simple social situation, is fit to throw Samuel an absolute curveball. He is very easily flustered and in fact is almost in an eternal state of uneasiness, regardless of where he is or who he’s with. At times, with people he’s grown very comfortable around, he can relax a bit more. Unfortunately, these people often matter the most to him, and knowing the importance of what he does or says is directly related to maintaining contact with said people can put him in a whole new state of unhappiness. Insecurity might be a base thing to touch on with the boy. He is constantly doubting himself. He often attributes the actions of others back to his own and blames himself if it goes wrong. If it goes all right he does not congratulate himself unduly, however. One might call him humble in that he will not boast afterwards, merely study the fact with quiet pride or re-dissect how to make it better. In his way, the boy is a perfectionist—provided the object of blame is himself, he will never cease finding ways he could have and could improve. Fortunately, the youth is not one to lament his own faults and do nothing—he’s a hard worker and tries very hard not to let himself, or his friends down.

Said faults, or at least those he’s most concerned with, include indecision. Fear. Samuel very much wants people to trust and look up to him, to accept him, and oftentimes the fear that they will not paralyzes him. He wishes very much to be liked, and doesn’t ever want to be obtrusive or an irritation in any way. Unfortunately, especially when training, this leads to so much passiveness and deliberating that he comes off worse than if he’d just taken a chance. He tries to be docile and undemanding—however, this also highlights a certain generosity. He’ll never fail to provide for those who need him, even if he has to sleep in the cold or go hungry himself. Oh, don’t think he’s one of those obnoxious people wallowing in self-pity. Samuel hardly pities himself—he’s simply terribly insecure about how others see him. He’s a quiet boy, easily made nervous—he’s very broody, going over and over bad things in his mind that he’ll constantly retrace over and over. This leads to a ‘woe-is-me’ state of mind that can be extremely irritating, but fortunately it’s generally short-lived and with a brief scolding will clear up right away.

This sulky, woebegone phase that colors his character offsets the modest ocelot’s focus and perseverance. Oh, he doesn’t have a particular goal in mind, but when certain problems come together with just the right amount of stress, Samuel’s mind just kicks off. He does persevere, even when misguided. Samuel is the bashful sort—he’s easily embarrassed and it’s easy to read his emotions. He is a good-natured fellow, fairly easy to get along with. He’s easy to impress and he tends to hold onto that first impression as a larger-than-life glow, often finding himself tongue-tied at that expense. One nice thing about Tad is despite his woeful inexperience at life and everything else he does, he’s always willing to try something new. He’s a dreamer, if not an optimist. He doesn’t always things will get better, but he can hope with a little work that they might. He’s devoted and loyal to those he’s made a commitment to and can be a bit annoying in the way of a dog, refusing to give up on them even when all hope might be gone.
