Does anyone need one? I have an extra and it seems that August 31 is the last day that it can be redeemed.

This is where information about other characters, supporting characters, recurring characters and minor characters will go. Information may change from time to time. Characters may be moved around as well.

Name: Dmitri
Age: 19
Appearance: Golden blonde hair with red orange highlights, violet eyes, fair skin
Typical apparel: Red collared shirt with white stripes, white undershirt or light grey undershirt, khaki pants
Work/school:
Interests: Coffee, scrapbooking, roller skating, ice skating. Secretly likes gardening.
Personality: Runs away when times are bad, does not own up to his mistakes, repeats the sames mistakes, wants to change for the better, nervous when left alone, scared of not fitting in
About: He's the type of friend who would leave you to take all the blame while he runs away. He dislikes Kerrigan. In Dmitri's mind, Kerrigan took his place as Ren's good friend. He hopes to rekindle his and Ren's friendship. No matter how much he complains about it, Dmitri cannot get Shawn to stop calling him "the creepy stalker guy".
During Dmitri's childhood, he was friends with four other boys, including Ren. Ren was often declared the 'old maid' and would frequently be imposed on to receive the blame whenever the five of them got into trouble. Dmitri went along with the other three boys' actions and did not condone their behavior against Ren in fear of not fitting in. In one instance, they all entered a rumored haunted house and three of Dmitri's friend's locked Ren inside a dark room as a test of courage. Ren ended up panicking when he saw a figure looming over him and ran into a bookshelf, which fell on top of him. The figure turned out to be a mannequin. Ren had to be treated for a broken arm and leg afterwards. At that point, Ren severed his friendship with Dmitri and the other three boys. Ren transferred to a different school shortly after.

Name: Brett
Age: 22
Appearance: Blue eyes
Likes: Baseball, track, talking, friends, ice pops, snow cones
Dislikes: Studying, licorice, science, having nothing to do, being alone
Work/School: Works at Green's, full time student at NSCC (North Side Community College)
Personality:
Externally sunny: Brett is often seen smiling and laughing. At work he puts the 'smile' in 'service with a smile'. In reality, Brett has a poor self image of himself stemming from his family life, past and Jan, his twin. Sometimes at night, Brett will cry and drink his sorrows away. At times such as those, Brett will tell himself over and over that he is a failure.
Talkative: If the situation allows, Brett can be seen talking a mile a minute. To keep the conversation going, Brett would ask the other person about themselves.  
Clingy: If he knows someone long enough and is comfortable around that person, he tends to stick to that person like glue. He may continuously call that person to meet up and text that person as much as he can. He will even ignore social cues that he is given.  
Not the brightest crayon in the box: Scientific and mathematical talk only confuses him. If the conversation someone is having with Brett is too complicated, he will only pick up a few words or phrases. The rest of the words only come out as "blah blah blah" to him. Now, if a person were to bring up the topic of baseball, Brett would spring up, grin and start talking at a quick speed, not even giving them so much as time to reply.
Accommodating: He'll help with housework, wait for a late friend, open doors for another person, and shine shoes.  
About: Brett grew up with 4 siblings that were close in age, one of them being his twin Jan. In his household, being one out of five children meant that Brett had to compete with his brothers and sisters for attention, which Jan made it harder to do. Because of the fact that he was a twin, he was often being compared to Jan. While Brett excelled in sports such as track and baseball, Jan was academically gifted and popular with both his peers and teachers. Jan showed promise in academics, whereas Brett had trouble with his studies and maintaining above average grades. After graduating from high school, Brett immediately moved out of his house and into a dorm at NSCC. Ever since he was young, Brett had wanted to go into pro baseball. He gave up that dream in his senior year of high school.
   

Name: Jen (Jennifer)
Age: 19
Appearance: 5 ft and 4 in, hazel eyes, braided ponytail, glasses
Typical apparel:
Interests: Wolves, dogs, spending time with family

Personality: Has good morals, most likely wouldn't do anything that would get her in trouble, strong sense of justice, hardworking
About: Jennifer has a close-knit family that support each another along every step of the way. Jennifer's family owns several pets that are all loved and cared for. Jennifer and her friend Jean look as if they could be sisters, though their personalities differ greatly. Jennifer is the middle child in her family. Her family voluntarily lives without internet and cable television. Jennifer cares deeply for her friends and will not back down to people who would otherwise threaten or harm them. At times, her friends Scott and Rita make silly jokes with her to which she responds with "You two are not getting behind me on an escalator." Jennifer is for the most, away with her duties as a marine. She comes home on a few occasions.

I wanted to put down this information so that I don't forget. I'll either send a note or message when these are done. I'm not doing any complicated requests at this time. Requests will vary from head shots, waist up, full body, etc. How they will look will depend on on what I'm in the mood for or how much time I have/willing to spend. Don't forget, for requests please don't ask 'Are you done yet?' or 'When will you be done?' and we'll be good to go. By the way, it's possible that they may not be done in order.

I thought it would be nice to have a place to write down the information for my ocs. I might update this from time to time. Information may change. Their clothes may vary as they don't wear the same attire every day.

Life is full of 'What ifs' and that can apply to ocs. They can be out of character and express other personality traits well.

North Side:

Name: Ren Leary
Age: 19
Appearance: Orange hair, golden yellow eyes, fair skin, cat ears, cat tail
Typical apparel: Yellow hooded shirt, jeans, red hair clips.
Work/school: North Side Community College with Kerrigan, works part-time at his grandma's grocery store with Kerrigan
Interests: Video games, sleeping, eating.
Personality: Shy and silly, usually acts before thinking but means well, warms up to friendly people but becomes quiet around those he does not know, can be mischievous
About: He generally acts before thinking and his motives are sometimes misunderstood by people. He often reveals a huge grin on his face, sometimes for no apparent reason. When he was 7, his parents left him to his grandma and never came back back for him. This event made him somewhat distant to others and made it harder for him to make friends for fear that he would be abandoned again. Ren has no feelings of hatred nor unforgiveness towards his parents. He helps his grandma by working at her grocery store and is a part time college student. Occasionally he hangs out with a few friends and visits places such as the local movie theater, pet store and video game shop. He hangs out with Kerrigan very often and may even drag him into his ideas and activities (occasionally it is the other way around). Ren cannot cook very well. He can cook simple foods but anything else he cooks tends to look like something a cat coughed up. He only allows close friends to call him 'Ren Ren'. Ren gets annoyed at anyone else that calls him by that name. Despite the fact that Ren and Kerrigan are roommates, Ren will periodically move around between their shared home, Kerrigan's childhood home (with Kerrigan), and at random, his grandma's house (dragging Kerrigan along). Ren's favorite game series is Quest Monsters.

Name: Kerrigan Brooks
Age: 21
Appearance: Brown hair, cool grey eyes, light brown skin
Typical apparel: Light green vest, white or light blue long sleeved shirt, grey undershirt, jeans
Work/school: North Side Community College with Ren, works part-time at a grocery store with Ren
Interests: Reading, writing, tea, curry.
Personality: Kind but usually serious. He is a bit more easy going during work and around Ren. Every now and then his contemplative expression is mistaken for being cold or sullen.
About: Kerrigan is Ren's friend and co worker. Both of them attend some of the same classes in college. They tend to get along like siblings (good times and bad) and can argue with one another like kids. Kerrigan gets pulled into Ren's ridiculous, haphazard, fun and sometimes dangerous activities. He keeps a journal about his and Ren's misadventures. At times he and Ren slack off at work to mess around, much to the manager's chagrin. Kerrigan met Ren when they were children. In his childhood, because Kerrigan liked to read books and kept to himself, his classmates did not get a clear image of who Kerrigan was. Kerrigan tended to have a stern expression when he was concentrating and sometimes even when he was thinking. This kept most others away from him. It was through bug catching that Ren and Kerrigan met. Ren and Kerrigan were coincidentally searching for cicadas in the same area and decided to work together to capture them. Afterwards, Kerrigan identified them using an encyclopedia of insects. Since that time, Ren would stick to Kerrigan like glue. More so after Ren had a falling out with his ex friends. Kerrigan comes from a rather mundane, middle class family with two parents and two siblings. His everyday life is given a fun boost with Ren's interference. Kerrigan and Ren are roommates and have their own shared home. Kerrigan is actually great at cooking even though it doesn't look like it at first since he mostly treats his roommate. His friends later find out about it after they pay him a surprise visit.

Name: Stella  
Age: 19
Appearance: 5 ft, black hair, brown eyes, olive skin
Typical apparel: Varies
Work/school: College, volunteer at a retirement home
Interests: Bunnies, dumpster diving, coordinating events, hiking, walking. Secretly likes romance novels.
Personality: Scatterbrained, polite and quiet around unfamiliar people but outgoing around her friends   
About: Stella is the oldest out of 3 children as well as the one with the most common sense. Stella's mom is a fashion designer while her father is a businessman. Stella's mom is extremely obsessed with fashion and often makes Stella wear her designs much to Stella's displeasure. Stella's father is more or less uninvolved with her life and matters pertaining to her. When her family is not home, she lets loose and messes around in her house. Sometimes she finds Ren to be annoying but she often finds Ren's company to be enjoyable. She knows how to play the piano. Stella is able to hide her emotions well if she wishes to and does not always tell others what is on her mind. Stella carries a torch for Kerrigan and believes that she knows who Kerrigan likes but is keeping a lid on it. She becomes energetic and hyper when she consumes energy shot drinks or too much coffee. If she sees one of her friends, Stella may playfully poke at them and hide in order to surprise them.
:thumb339425173: :thumb334439480:

Name: Shawn Moore
Age: 18
Appearance: Dirty blonde hair, lip ring, green right eye, blue left eye
Typical apparel: Varies
Work/school: Works part-time at Gil's
Interests: Cycling, jogging, playing the guitar, basketball.
Personality: Defiant, cynical, sarcastic, blunt, nicer around his friends and co workers
About: Shawn is Ren's step-brother. He was once a warm and friendly person who would smile often. His parent's harsh divorce and the loss of emotional support from his ex friends (friends at the time) resulted in his personality change. Shawn still hold bitter feelings even though doing so hurts him. He dislikes authoritative figures. Shawn is usually blunt and will say what is on his mind even if it's better left unsaid. He has always wanted a brother and was ecstatic when his found out about Ren and him being step-siblings. His old personality shows when he is around Ren and eventually his boss Gil. Ironically, Shawn is taller and appears to be older than Ren. Shawn left home to distance himself from his dad and step-mom. In Shawn's eyes, ever since his father remarried, he had paid less attention to Shawn and focused most of his attention on his new wife. Having no work experience and low on cash after leaving, Shawn had to make do with whatever jobs that were available at the moment. This went on for some time until eventually he found work at Gil's. Being in a new environment without being able to rely on anyone, Shawn learned how to clean, cook, do laundry and sew. He found that doing his own housework was a bit annoying but somewhat satisfying, even picking up sewing as a hobby. When he's not around his friends and co workers, Shawn can frequently be seen with a scowl on his face. You can catch him with a relaxed smile when he's privately doing what he takes pleasure in the most (given he doesn't spot you first and tell you off) or when he's lying down. Gil tries with almost no success to get Shawn to show people his genuine, unguarded smile. That smile only seems to appear when he's around Ren. Shawn finds Dmitri to be a nuisance and calls him "the creepy, weird guy" or "the Golden retriever". Shawn moves around between the apartment that he stays in and the house that Ren and Kerrigan live in.

Name: Cam
Age: 20
Appearance: Red hair, mint green eyes
Typical apparel:
Work/school: Part-time waiter, part-time at another job
Interests: Fashion, shopping for clothes, window shopping, photography, pickpocketing, looking at himself in the mirror, talking and text messaging on his cell phone, social media
Personality: Somewhat self-centered, a tad narcissistic, can become very persuasive, truly cares about his (real) friends
About: If anyone were to ask him, Cam would claim that he's Shawn's friend. Whether or not that's true would be another story. Cam will pickpocket at almost any opportunity that he can get. He often hugs his shallow friends to pickpocket them. Sometimes Cam pretends that he reading a magazine while sneaking a hand from under a jacket or coat into the unsuspecting person's backpack or purse. To avoid suspicion, he may dress well. Shawn and Cam met through one of Shawn's previous jobs. There have been many instances where Cam has shown up unexpectedly at Shawn's apartment and refuses to leave. Cam even secretly duplicated a key to Shawn's apartment. From there, he mooches off of him and consumes Shawn's food. Cam does help out with the cleaning, cooking and shopping though. At intervals, Shawn sleeps over at Ren and Kerrigan's house to avoid being stuck with Cam. Due to Shawn's influence, Cam has slowly become less self-centered. Cam is able to become quite persuasive when the time calls for it or to work situations to his advantage. He may also beg and whine. Cam comes from a single parent family. Growing up, he tried to be indifferent to his family situation and to the people around him including his own family members. His only concerns then involved playing around with his friends, skipping school and having fun. At the present though, Cam cannot sit idly if a friend of his is being troubled by someone (someone other than himself, that is). A number of people that Cam hangs out with only think about themselves and their own interests.

Personality: Strict, by the book, serious, quick tempered
About: Dislikes Ren and Kerrigan. Ralph has a difficult time trying to convince his boss to fire Ren and Kerrigan since his boss just so happens to be Ren's grandmother. Ren's grandmother sees her past self in Ralph and wishes he would try to have fun and let loose every once in a while. Ren and Kerrigans' shenanigans drive Ralph up the wall. His favorite words to say to Ren and Kerrigan are "Pick it up!" Every now and then he enunciates those words while other times he yells them out. Ralph has a knack for electronics and is very knowledgeable when it comes to computers and electric appliances. If someone were to bring up his competency with gadgets, he would say that it's no big deal but would secretly feel happy and embarrassed about it.

Rio's mother was almost never home and ignored the domestic violence going on in the household. Mel tried several times to tell the police about Rio being abused but they turned a blind eye every time. On the night that Rio ran away, he was praying that his father would stop beating him and that his mom would come home. He was surprised to see Mel sneak into his room.

Olga was a self-centered and spoiled woman that was always given her way. She had her parents in the palm of her hand. Mel asked his parents to shelter Rio in their home and said that he would even agree with with arranged marriage without complaint. His parents looked at him and laughed at him saying that he didn't have a choice in the matter and that they were not taking Rio in. The arranged marriage was of convenience to Mel's parents.

About: Gil treats Shawn as if he were his own son. He has no known immediate family. Gil tries with almost no success to get Shawn to show people his gentle, unguarded smile. That smile only seems to only appear when Shawn is around Ren. Shawn frequently calls Gil "old man". When Gil sees someone that he is fond of, he goes up to them and slaps them on the back and calls out their name with a childish grin. That said, Gil is exceptionally considerate to his workers but at the same time he tries not to spoil them. Every Friday he brings a box of donuts or treats to work and shares them with everyone. On numerous dates and nights, his grill turns into a pub and a place to rendezvous for different types of people. Gil is a completely different person when he's operating his pub; he retains a trace of his 'day' persona though. Gil was a bouncer in the past. Gil is skilled at repairing machinery and automobiles. He has his own garage as his disposal to tinker with and operate machines as he pleases.

He would often get 'missions' from Gunter to 'take care of business' for him. Chip was usually given varied tasks. On one of his runs, Chip decided to try shoplifting at a different store and was caught by one of the workers. When Chip caught a glimpse of him, it surprised him. The worker had cat ears and a cat tail. Instead of turning him in, he got his coworker, a male with grey eyes and brown hair, to lecture him on stealing. When the worker with cat ears heard Chip's stomach growling, he burst into laughter and told him "Wait right here." He returned from the store's cafe and gave him a box of donuts with tears of laughter still on his face. Chip was slightly annoyed, puzzled and embarrassed. After Chip left the grocery store, he kept thinking thought of "why?" Little did he know that this event was a catalyst for changing his views and morals.
