    PERSONALITY >>
    aspen is a kind, gentle soul that doesn't like to impose on others. he has a keen sense of empathy and can easily read how others are feeling around him, and due to his soft soul, he's quick to try and help or comfort others. some have called him "weak" for this, but the way aspen sees it is that the world everybody lives in is already so harsh, so if he could be a bright spot in a sullied place, then that would define his existence. aspen does his best to try and keep positive, as he's naturally an optimist, but even he gets his down days and needs the company of friends to pull him back to his feet.


    open-minded
    aspen is rather open to nearly all ideas and considers himself as always learning about the world around him. because of the effect on humanity that the discrimination has, he is bound and determined to make sure he never judges somebody by a quality they cannot help or something that is completely unfair. after all, considering that he is of the lowest rung of the social ladder, aspen holds this value very closely to his heart.


    synesthete
    aspen has chromesthesia, a type of neurological condition called synesthesia that triggers his sight whenever he hears sound. voices, alarms/buzzers, music... anything that causes sound has a color and/or shape to him. the colors/shapes only exist in his vision for as long as the sound plays, so once the noise is over, they disappear as well. he cannot see his own speaking voice except for when it's played back to him on recording, but he sees his singing voice clearly. his condition is harmless most of the time, but too much noise can cause him to not see clearly with all the colors he's experiencing, and it can cause him painful migraines. aspen doesn't consider his chromesthesia to be odd since he's had it his whole life and it's what he calls "normal" to him, and he uses it to his advantage when singing and making music.


    patient
    given his generally gentle nature, aspen is also very patient. he is slow to anger and even slower to say he hates somebody, but if they do get on that very short list of people he hates, then they will never be on good terms with him again. aspen is the type of guy to not mind if you're running late for plans you made with him, or if you have to cancel on him suddenly. he isn't a doormat, but since he's keen on others' emotions, aspen can understand how another person feels and thus acts accordingly. as such, his empathy and patience go hand-in-hand. his patience also aids him in dealing with all the discrimination he has to go up against with being brown eyed.


    LIKES >>
    → listening to/creating music
    adores singing
    → sweets, particularly cookies
    → meeting new people
    → books (mostly history or science)
    → exploring abandoned buildings
    → spontaneity
    → winter


    DISLIKES >>
    → the discrimination
    → uptight people
    → too much noise/loud noises
    → hot or humid weather
    → deceitful people
    → being touched without direct permission


    FEARS >>
    → the discrimination outliving him
    → finding himself all alone in the world when everything is said in done
    → running into his parents again

    BRIEF HISTORY >>
    aspen's parents -- anderson and pamela shane -- are gray eyed folk, obviously of very high social standing. however, his mother was having an affair on the side, seeing a brown eyed delinquent while her husband was clueless. when pamela became pregnant, anderson had no inkling to assume that the child would be anyone else's, but pamela knew better. being the wicked woman she was, she avoided her brown eyed lover for some time, until she falsely accused him of seducing her and impregnating her. anderson was furious and naive, thinking that his wife couldn't have been to blame for this, so as a result, he used his social power and had the brown eyed man killed. now, the couple could only wait for the child to be born. if the baby had gray eyes, they would consider keeping it and kicking it's mixed heritage under the rug so to speak, but if the baby were to have brown eyes, they would cast the child out due to shame. sure enough, aspen was born on the fourteenth of december with dark eyes. as promised, anderson and pamela secretly sent their child away to an orphanage.
    aspen grew up in an orphanage for quite a while, but after it got shut down, aspen found that life on the streets was all he had left to turn to as a person with brown eyes. he grew up on those back alleys for years, learning and perfecting the art of thievery and pilfering only what he could to survive. eventually he found work as a servant/errand boy for a local bakery, where he worked for many hours with relatively poor treatment from the employer. after saving up as much as he could, aspen left that job and got himself an apartment, though nothing extravagant. aspen still steals, though he sticks to his rule about only taking what he needs (such as food) and "sharing the wealth" whenever he finds somebody else suffering from the discrimination just as he is.
    he absolutely abhors his parents for letting society dictate whether he was worthy of being loved or not by them, and though he doesn't know what they look like, aspen has a healthy dose of fear that he'll somehow run into them again.

    { BIRTH DATE } january 27th
    { PLACE OF BIRTH } california
    { PAST JOB } beauty queen
    { DISABILITY } diabetes


    { DOMINANT TRAIT } flirtatious
    { PERSONALITY } if you were looking for a shy little nice girl to take home to mother, then you're looking in the wrong place. jessie is an extroverted diva who loves to be lavished with gifts and has a keen eye for fashion. she also has a keen taste for expensive gifts, and she is not afraid to get herself a "sugar daddy" to get everything that she wants. however, this doesn't stem from low self-esteem: if anything, jessie considers herself to be worth all of the luxuries, which is why she isn't afraid to do whatever it takes to get her way. she is very flirtatious, loving to push people's buttons to see what kinds of reactions that she can get out of them, though she doesn't do this to be antagonistic. in her view, jessie finds that she can learn quite a bit about people when they're faced with a personality type that they aren't too familiar with. despite how she acts, jessie is actually not easy to win over. jessie is more than just a pretty face, though: she is intelligent and has an honest love of learning too, having an affinity for reading scientific journals and psychology books. something about learning makes jessie feel alive, and she becomes acutely aware of just how little she actually knows about the world and humanity as a whole. adores cold weather and winter, and christmas is her favorite holiday. she loves to bake and go drinking, having a borderline alcohol addiction.
    { GENERAL APPEARANCE } jessie is not a small girl by any means. she is fairly tall, standing at a height of five feet and nine inches, though because of her love of wearing heels, she's even taller. her body has a naturally dark complexion, giving the impression that her body is permanently kissed by the sun (which is funny since the sun no longer exists). her blonde hair is long, wavy, and thick, flowing all the way down to the middle of her back. she's been "blessed" with a curvy figure in addition to her tall stature, and she's very proud of her long legs. though she does enjoy days without makeup, she also does love the confidence that wearing makeup and being all done up gives her, so more often than not, jessie will always do her best to look as good as she can for herself.

    [glow=white,2,300]ᴀᵴᴘєɴ ᵴᴎᴀɴє †[/glow]
    [glow=white,2,300]24 -- PANSEXUAL -- BROWN[/glow]


    The club wasn't usually his scene... not only was it uncomfortably crowded almost every night, it was also dangerous to be out past curfew. Both of those factors were true, but they weren't the main reason why Aspen usually stayed away from the club: it was the colors. Every sound triggered Aspen's chromesthesia easily, and loud music only made it difficult to see, albeit it certainly could be pretty to watch if the right song was playing. And yet, he had decided to come anyway.


    The quiet Brown had mostly only come to have a few drinks and try to enjoy himself at least a little bit, even for just one night. For the most part, his chromesthesia hadn't been acting up too much... sure, the music was rather loud, but all the colors and shapes that each song evoked had so far been pleasant to see: no clashing hues or eye-frying neons that only Aspen could see had battled for dominance in the empty air on this night. It was actually relatively pleasant. But that was before the lights were suddenly brightened and the music stopped. Aspen's eyes widened in surprise as the colors disappeared, and his gaze immediately set on the front door. Sure enough, guards had infiltrated the underground club and were starting to check everybody's eyes.


    Fear coursed through Aspen's body, and the 24 year old did his best to lie low and slink through the crowd, hoping to find some means of escape. But a hard grip on his shoulder caught him by surprise, and he was violently thrown to the ground by a guard. He knew better than to give them the satisfaction of hearing his pain, so Aspen bit his tongue to keep himself from groaning or yelping as the first few bludgeons from the batons came down on his back. As a Brown, he was no stranger to the lashings, but d*mn did they hurt every time he got them.


    But then he felt the bindings the guard had administered be cut free. Aspen quickly jerked his head up in surprise, seeing a girl not too much younger than him cutting the bindings of the other Browns that were on the ground. Nearly every single one of them had fled as soon as they were free, and Aspen started to think that he was better off following in their footsteps. He got up, gritting his teeth as the pain from the baton beatings was starting to set in all along his back, but then he noticed her giving aid to an old man who could hardly move for himself. She had almost made it out the door with him, when she was struck down by a guard.


    Compassion for his unknown heroine and anger towards the guards flared up in his heart, and Aspen's adrenaline began to race. He ran up behind the guard, and he took a swing, landing a clean hard punch right in the guard's face. He didn't plan on sticking around for more of a fight, for Aspen almost immediately turned and pulled the old man onto his back and turned to the girl that cut his bindings. She seemed to have taken a hard blow to the hip, and making an executive decision on the spot, brought her into his arms. He kicked open the door of the club and just started running, using his long legs to his advantage to cover more ground. Aspen never looked back, running as fast as he could down the streets and alleys, taking all the twists and turns he could to throw off any potential guard that could be following them. Eventually, his stamina started to run out and the weight of carrying two people was beginning to be a bit much for him. Aspen spotted an old warehouse nearby, and without a second thought, ran inside. Huffing and puffing from the sudden exercise, Aspen set the girl who freed him down gently onto the ground before heaving the old man off of his back and propping him up against the warehouse wall, inspecting him for injuries. The man seemed like he was going to be okay, so Aspen breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he slowly turned to the girl, realizing that she was a Brown as well. Certainly explains her vigilante efforts.


    "Are you injured?" He finally asked, still breathing heavily from his physical exertion.

    [justify][font=times new roman]He watched her slowly get to her feet, observing that she wasn't putting too much pressure on her left leg. Aspen was concerned, but he didn't exactly have any medical supplies to aid her with that, so he didn't bother to bring it up. She seemed somewhat accustomed to walking that way, which piqued his interest further, but he figured it rude to ask about it. He continued to watch as she walked over to him, seemingly delicately, offering her hand in greeting. Aspen reached out and gave her hand a warm shake, and he blinked as she spoke. This girl's voice -- Percy, she said her name was -- was a unique color: [glow=green,2,300]green[/glow], like the hue that summer leaves were during the heat of the day. Her voice took the form of thin whisps, like thin strands of thread, and the way the green whisps moved like they were liquid... like flowing water in the open air, a show for his eyes only, disappearing as soon as she finished speaking. It interested him -- green wasn't a common color for voices, though every voice's color was unique in its own way. Aspen blinked after it was over, then returned his focus to Percy.


    "My name is Aspen," He told her his own name, already feeling reassured to have personally met another Brown. After all, being the lowest rung on the social ladder, Browns practically had to stick together if they were going to survive in this warped, discriminated part of humanity. A Brown all by themselves was just asking to be bludgeoned to death by a guard. When Percy spoke again, her flowy [color=green][glow=green,2,300]green[/glow] voice entering his vision again as she asked him a question, Aspen paused before he answered. "Well... you kind of saved me first. You cut my bindings, after all." Aspen shrugged, a bit shy. "Besides, enough Browns have been given the baton treatment, don't you think?" [/justify][/fancypost]

    ic:


    Aspen nodded in agreement with her words, his dark eyes lighting up in relief that somebody shared his views. He was so tired of all the horror that the discrimination brought upon the world. People turning against each other over mere genetics... tearing apart friendships and families alike without remorse, like it had with his own family. Aspen pushed the intrusive thoughts away and re-focused himself on the present.


    "No kidding... the world is a complete mess." He added, then followed her gaze to the old man propped against the wall, briefly watching the [glow=#00A800,2,300]green[/glow] whisps while she spoke, simultaneously listening to her question. Aspen didn't respond at first, instead approaching the man's unconscious body and crouching down to inspect the bump on the poor guy's head. It certainly wasn't fatal, but it would definitely serve to be uncomfortable and nuisance for the old man whenever he regained consciousness. He didn't have to look around the warehouse to know that there wasn't anything that they could use for makeshift medical supplies, and though there was ice packs back at his place... Aspen wasn't sure that going home was the best idea for him. With a small sigh, he stood back up and turned to face Percy again, his hands in the pockets of his jacket.


    "He's gonna be okay in the long run, I figure. That's gonna be uncomfortable as hell, though." Aspen joked before gesturing to the old man's nasty bump. He noticed that Percy seemed to be a little lost in thought for a few seconds, though she spoke before he could question her about it. While she spoke, Aspen took time to watch how her voice moved in the air. Though the [glow=#00A800,2,300]green[/glow] whisps were flowy and moved freely in the air, it wasn't moving erratically or without pattern. Percy's voice danced, as if it were filled with joy about merely existing. He tilted his head slightly as he watched, much like a puppy would, blinking when it went away. He had listened to what she said while he watched, though her question made him pause, his dark gaze now turned to the left in thought. Come to think of it, his home wasn't really in the safest part of town. Aspen lived in an apartment for quite a while now, but he was hardly ever home... mostly because it was frequently checked by guards, who just loved to give him and other Browns trouble. In truth, Aspen found it infinitely easier to not be home a majority of the time -- at least he wasn't routinely disturbed if he could keep his wits about him.


    He was about to answer Percy, but that was when the sudden sound of shattering glass filled the warehouse. Bright bursts of [glow=orange,2,300]orange[/glow], [glow=yellow,2,300]yellow[/glow], [glow=red,2,300]red[/glow], and [glow=#EDB25A,2,300]beige[/glow] exploded into view, almost blocking all of his vision until the smashing ended. The sound and colors had been so loud and sudden that it startled Aspen, and he was a bit disoriented until a few seconds after all the colors melted away. Once he got his bearings straight, Aspen instinctively pulled out his pocket knife that he kept in his jacket, put his back against Percy's so that they were watching each other's backs (literally and figuratively), and his usually warm gaze, now hardened in preparation to fight or flee, flickered quickly around the warehouse, searching for the source of the sound. If it was a guard or a higher ranking person, then he and Percy were essentially dead meat for staying out past curfew.


    "We know you're there," Aspen's grip on the pocket knife tightened as he spoke. "You might as well show yourself... slowly."

    ic:


    Aspen kept his grip on his pocket knife tight, ready to use it if whoever was lurking in the shadows of the warehouse decided to try and ambush him and his new acquaintance. There was silence for quite a while, but then he heard the distinctive sound of something falling onto the glass shards, emitting an odd, [glow=#CC0C53,2,300]dark rose[/glow] streak swiping quickly across his vision. The colors that glass made were always unpredictable, varying and changing near constantly... if he had the time, Aspen would have let his mind wander about it. But now was most certainly not the time for that.


    It hadn't taken long for the source of the sound to emerge, stepping into some moonlight. Aspen blinked as he realized it was a girl, who looked around the same age as Percy, and she was holding her hands up. A sign of peace, no doubt... but Aspen immediately felt wary of her. After all, since she was standing in the light, he could clearly see that her eyes were light. She was a Blue. It was hard for Aspen to feel at ease while in the presence of anybody who wasn't a Brown, and for good reason.


    And then she spoke. Aspen blinked as her voice showed itself, a somewhat [glow=#81CC10,2,300]dusty lime[/glow] hue, watching as it made small, quick, horizontal zigzags across his vision. What's with all the green voices today? He rarely ever saw them in his daily life, but tonight he was seeing more green than he had seen in probably months. He wondered if this girl's voice moved so quickly because she was scared, or if it was naturally that way. Aspen pondered her question briefly, twirling the knife in his hand a few times, obviously comfortable with wielding the blade. "That depends on if you're going to make me use it." Aspen responded, his tone making it obvious that he wasn't trusting this girl right now. "You make a move to harm me or these two," He gestured to Percy and the old man propped against the wall. "Then I will do what I need to in order to make sure they're okay." Aspen wasn't even really threatening the girl, but more so stating a fact. Too many Browns had fallen victim to the lighter eyed people, and the 24 year old was not going to allow any more needless harm to befall them... how recently he had met the two people with him was irrelevant to him now. "If you really don't have weapons... then why are you here, eavesdropping on us?"

    Also, I'm a bit confused on what the Browns are supposed to do
    Are they servants of some sort? Would that be an option? For them to be "servants" to the Purples, Hazels, etc?
    [/size][/justify][/fancypost]

    ooc: since the Browns are the lowest rung in the social ladder, I believe that they would be servants to the Grays and Purples, but very likely to not be treated very well.

    I don't know if this counts as a "plot" per say... But I had the idea that my character, Aspen, could get the idea to bring fellow Browns together by forming a group of sorts. He'd take in brown-eyed people that didn't have anywhere to go or anybody to depend on, and would invite them to stick with him, and the group would serve as a family of sorts to give a sense of security to the Browns who wanted it. They'd find a safe, hidden place to have a roof over their head during the night and fill their bellies when hungry (Aspen and anybody else who has a talent for thievery could steal from food establishments and bring their bounty back to the "safe place" for the rest of the group to eat, but people who can cook are always welcome to cook as well), essentially a "base" for them all. After all, Browns are the most oppressed group in this world, so having others to depend on and a safe place to stay would be a blessing to lots of them down on their luck. In addition, any higher ranking characters who wanted to support Browns (like Amazon and Princeton for example) could always donate food to Aspen's group in secret if they so choose.
    Eventually, if enough Browns joined, perhaps Aspen's group could attempt to overthrow the discrimination somehow... But that's much further down the line.


    It's just an idea, but I figured I'd go ahead and just leave it here for anybody else to ponder.

    aww, thanks bri! (may i call you that?) if the idea is liked enough to get implemented, it would certainly give elizaveta a safe place to be. she'll need the support, especially since she's carrying precious cargo. c:


    also, i'm adding a few details on this post: since aspen would be the one to form the group, naturally, he would be the head of it, though he'd be more like a brotherly (or fatherly, depending on the age difference) figure to the rest of the group as well as leading it. his main goal for it is to bring browns together and protect each other, so he'd treat everybody in the group like family and expect the other members to do that same. y'feel?

    PERSONALITY >>
    one of the best words to sum up princeton would be unique. he is very much a person who goes against the grain, tending to stand out from the crowd, though whether or not that's positive or negative is irrelevant to him. princeton inwardly doesn't care if other people disagree with or judge him for what he believes or thinks, but outwardly he will put up a front if it means that he can get favors from somebody later on if he ever needs it. he means well, but his methods of getting what he wants tend be a bit... questionable. princeton has never liked the whole discrimination that has wracked the human race, which coincides with his idealistic trait. he is constantly stuck between what society wants him to be, and what his heart yearns to do.


    idealistic
    by his own admission, princeton is a dreamer. he has lots of values that he believes the world should have, and he dreams of a world that can be everything that it needs to be to achieve harmony. however, because the world isn't this way already, he is often pulled back down to earth when faced with a (sometimes jarring) example of how the world really is: the fact that humanity is ruled by eye color discrimination, the state of poverty that wracks the vast majority of the lower ranked, and the true nature of people when put into a hierarchy system. princeton has a burning desire to change it all -- he just doesn't know it yet.


    daring
    princeton is not afraid to take risks -- whether that's speaking his mind in front of the wrong people, making risky goals for himself, or trying to do something that has never been attempted. he has a very small sense of fear, which is either going to one day lead him to do great things, or get him killed, whichever comes first. he lives for the rush of adrenaline that comes with being reckless, believing that's what it means to truly be alive. his daring trait in combination with his idealistic trait is what galvanizes him to achieve his goals or put his virtues and beliefs into action.


    sly
    ever heard the expression, "the snake smiles but shows no teeth"? if not, it means to be wary of those who appear friendly but don't show their true nature: that's essentially princeton in a nutshell. he's a master of persuasion and a great actor, giving him the ability to lie almost flawlessly. he's told a myriad of lies directly to his parents' faces, and he's gotten away with every single one of them. mostly what he does is either play up his innocence or actually put his acting skills to good use, and he's only been caught on his lies a rare few times by insanely observant people. princeton doesn't necessarily mean any harm by deceiving people, only when it serves convenient for him and getting what he or someone he cares about wants.


    charismatic
    perhaps it's due to being a part of a very high ranking social class, but princeton knows just how to carry himself in social situations and how to act. he can usually read people and know what they're expecting out of him, and if it means that he'll get something out of it, then he'll put on the show they want. his charisma comes in handy when he has to attend fancy social parties with his family, knowing just what to say or do in order to impress high ranking people and get on their good side. he knows a lot is expected out of him socially because he's the sole child of his family, and his upbringing has only honed his natural gift for charming people.

    BRIEF HISTORY >>
    princeton is a gray, and therefore is very high ranked. his family is well-respected among the social elite, and he is the sole heir to his family's fortune. though that is true, his parents never really paid princeton much attention. instead, princeton was mostly raised by nannies and maids that were hired to work for his family and tend to the household. princeton had never paid much attention to what color anybody's eyes were, and the discrimination didn't become real to him until he was seven years old and snuck out of his family's mansion one afternoon to go play outside. he met a brown-eyed boy in the streets, and the two immediately hit it off. princeton visited that boy for a straight week, and the two played together well. but after that week had passed, princeton and his family had to attend a prestigious social gathering that was within walking distance. as they walked towards the event, princeton spotted his brown-eyed friend. he called out to him, and the boy responded by hesitantly approaching the family. but as soon as he did, princeton's father called for his guards to "keep that thing away from us"... and they adhered to the order in the most extreme degree. princeton witnessed his brown-eyed friend shot in the temple and killed immediately, and it was the hardest he sobbed. his parents harshly rebuked him for sobbing like that, saying "it was just a brown". it was ever since that incident that princeton began to notice eye color, and he's hated the discrimination ever since.

    Samoan -- i'm so glad!! yeah, i can see aspen and percy having a brother/sister dynamic going on cx and yes, the browns in the group can absolutely keep their own homes and such, but for those who dont have a place (or theirs is super run-down or unsanitary) or would rather just stay with everybody else and not be alone, aspen will still hunt out a decent, safe, hidden place to be the main group rendezvous. ;D i'm very glad you like the idea!! question though... once the group is officially established in the rp thread, do you think that it should be added to the first post of the sign-up thread so that other people who could potentially make brown-eyed characters could know about it? like, they won't have to put their brown-eyed character in aspen's group if they dont want to, but just so they know it exists?

    It was usually rather hard to catch Aspen off-guard. Surprises weren't exactly things that he was completely familiar with, due to his typically easy going, go-with-the-flow attitude. But this girl had certainly managed to make him pause in surprise, blinking as she answered him. He could tell that she was being genuine, not just from her tone, but from the way her voice moved. It had slowed from panicked, anxious zigzags that whizzed by quick as a blink, and was now moving in slower, methodical, [glow=#83FF30,2,300]dusted lime[/glow] waves. Her words intrigued him too: especially the part about brown-eyed people helping each other out, acting like a pack. It stuck in his mind. Mental wheels of thought began to turn...


    However, his train of thought was interrupted when he suddenly felt the touch of another hand upon his own. Aspen's dark eyes looked over to see Percy beside him, blinking when the [glow=green,2,300]green[/glow] strands floated by as she told him this stranger wasn't a threat. The 24 year old wasn't completely sure he believed that, though he did relax his body language and straightened his back, appearing much less threatening than he had previously, but he kept his knife out. One could never be too sure that there wasn't any sort of trickery afoot. Aspen approached the blue-eyed girl, standing at Percy's side. He began casually twirling his pocket knife in his dominant left hand while his fellow Brown interrogated the Blue before them, though it was more of a mindless habit of his than anything else. In fact, after a few brief moments of twirling the knife, Aspen covered the blade and slipped it back into his pocket.


    But even as they waited for an answer, what the Blue said replayed in his mind. Helping each other out... acting like a pack... the wheels on his train of thought began to turn again. Browns act like a "pack", huh...? His mind was quickly analyzing the new thought that sprouted in his mind, and he was starting to get the signature look on his face that anybody who knew Aspen could identify from miles away: he was starting to get an idea. Not just any idea... but an idea he truly believed in.
