IGNORE THESE FFFFFFFF
Full name: Wolfgang Albert Reinhardt
Nickname: Wolf, Wolfie, Mozart (Julius sometimes refers to him as this and once called him ‘the electric Mozart’)
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Pansexual, but he lets people think what they like.
Nationality/Ethnic Background: Has a German dad and a Scottish mum, but was born in Australia.
Species: Human
Zodiac Sign: Aries
School Classeas: Drama, English Literature, Human Biology, History, Chemistry, Art, Tennis
Religion: Definitely atheist. Be nice; he tries to respect your faith, he really does.
Political Views: Big fat socialist, though he sees the flaws in every political system so he sometimes doubts himself and can get a bit anarchist at times. (Okay, very anarchist. At times.) He’s also kind of a greeny, but half-heartedly. When it comes down to it, protecting the environment is not his thing, except for the animals: Look at that panda, it’s so cute! SAVE THE CUTE THING! (“Save the cute thing” should be WWF’s slogan BTW)
Job: Checkout dude at Big W
Hobbies: Drawing, acting, dressing up (including cross-dressing), shopping, cycling, giving presents, singing karaoke, playing guitar, collecting cool or novelty pencils, reading comics, net-surfing
Fears: Other people holding sharp objects near him, having his friends/family hurt or taken away from him, being in situations out of his control, wasps.
Ideal Career: Either a rock star, a film and TV actor, or a high school teacher.
Ideal Partner: Nathan Fillion. Someone who admires him but doesn’t idolise him, who he can admire too. There would have to be a lot of give and take in the relationship, (they give and he takes - lol, joking) where they can both shower each other with gifts and sweet affirmations. And sex, yay. Ain’t gonna lie, Wolfgang gets cross when he can’t have sex, and his self-control isn’t great. Anywhoodlyhow he basically wants a really equal relationship; he’ll feel cheated if he doesn’t get as good as he gives, and guilty if vice versa. All the same he’s very open to the idea of a ménage à trois or polygamy, as long as it’s all nice and loving and stuff. Still, though sex without meaning may seem pretty empty to him that doesn’t mean he won’t go for a one-night stand. On the surface, he really goes for androgyny and/or the disregard for society’s gender barrier. Really long hair does it for him, too.
General Personality: People who know Wolfgang (and even some who don't) will tell you that he's the kind of guy who is not afraid to state an opinion. If you say something he doesn't like, he'll tell you. Hard. With his fist if you're really asking for it. He can be very aggressive in sticking up for his beliefs, suffice to say. He is very protective of the things and people he loves, so the same steadfast loyalty goes for his friends and family as for his personal opinions. In fact he is probably more true to his loved ones than anything.
Wolfgang also leaves an impression on people for being very flamboyant. If he is in a good enough mood, people often think he's gay for how camp he acts. This is not helped by the fact that he sometimes goes about in a cowboy hat and a feather boa, not to mention the times that he has willfully gotten into a dress and make-up in Drama class, even if the exercise didn't call for it. To Wolfgang, the stereotypes applied to gender and sexuality are all negative, so he definitely sees himself as being better than any 'manly' bogan guy who's called him a poof in the past.
Full name: Edgar Hiwatari
Nicknames: Eddie, Ed, Ee
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Bicurious. For a while in late primary school he thought he was gay, but he doesn’t talk about it.
Nationality/Ethnic Background: His mum’s Japanese and his dad is part Japanese, part Swedish. He was born in Japan and lived in Australia since he was just a year old.
Species: Vampire
Zodiac Sign: Cancer
School Classes: Drama, Art, English, Human Biology, Food Production, Computer Graphics, Table Tennis
Religion: Agnostic
Political Views: He’s comfortable under the current democracy and thinks that it’s probably the best way, though he doesn’t know much about politics since he doesn’t find them interesting. Still, he’s the type to get all wibbly over forwarded emails about starving orphans, and he always gives to charities, no matter what they are and even if it’s only a silver coin or two.
Job: Hungry Jacks’ bitch
Hobbies: Listening to music, watching movies, hanging around YouTube and Facebook pointlessly, writing Twilight and Buffy fanfiction, taking baths, playing piano, making stuffed toys, watercolours, card tricks, baking
Fears: Humiliation and rejection, open flames, large dogs (having once had to walk Wolgang's boisterous dalmatian only made this worse), full moons and superstitious things like walking under ladders or a black cat crossing his paths, watching scary films (and yet he loves them so!), having nothing and no-one to fall back on if he gets something wrong or can’t go it alone.
Ideal Career: Band member or stage magician
Ideal Partner: On the superficial side of things, he likes chicks whose taste in music and fashion is similar to his. He is so painfully shy he can barely talk to a girl he doesn’t know, though, so he’d like her to make the first move. (Either that, or one of his friends has to do it for him. He’s that frightened of a bad result.) Someone outgoing enough to be the one to lead the relationship, yet mindful enough of poor, meek Edgar to ask him for his opinion once in a while. He’d really love to be popular, so he’d date a 'cool girl' (as long as he liked her enough) to become cool by association. Also, he digs chicks who play bass.
General Personality: Edgar is known for being very shy and reliant on another people. He hates being in social situations without close friends around, as it makes him feel very alone. If he feels uncomfortable, he'll withdraw, and if he's unhappy at home he'll spend hours up in his room listening to music. Contrary to popular belief in the school, Edgar does not slit his wrists. He dresses the way he does and listens to 'emo' music simply because he likes the style.
Edgar can be a bit superficial at times, and would give a lot to be part of the popular crowd, but he'd never sacrifice the four true friends he's found in Wolfgang, Morgan, Piggy and Jules. If you can even believe it, he was even more painfully shy as a primary school kid, and now having made such good friends with people who are so confident has helped him to come out of his shell quite a bit, but he still has a long way to go to be able to stand up on his own.
Edgar sometimes worries that he doesn't fit in even with his friends. He can feel left out or trodden on at times, and since he rarely speaks up for himself, the others aren't often aware of this. He would say something, but he's afraid of looking like a sissy, and he doesn't want them to think he's purposefully trying to make them feel guilty or just give him attention. Yes, Edgar is always that self-conscious.
Full name: Morganna Louise McKinley
Nicknames: Morgan
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Straight, but a bit Bicurious (not averse to messing around with girls, and kinda vaguely starting to doubt her straightness)
Nationality/Ethnic Background: Irish for a long way down her father’s side, while her mother’s family are French and British. (You’d think such a combination would lead to intense racial inner-self-conflict! But no, ha-ha, she’s perfectly content.) She was born in Australia, then moved to England when she was four, but returned with her folks to Australia at the age of ten.
Species: Elf
Zodiac Sign: Libra
School Classes: Drama, English, Media Production, Fashion & Technology, Outdoor Education, Horticulture, Tennis
Religion: She’s a casual Wiccan, with a focus on Celtic deities.
Political Views: Being a fat hippie, Morganna’s a total greeny. Above many things, though, she pushes for ‘fairies’ rights’, demanding equal treatment of elves, fairies, pixies, goblins, and associated species. Could be a case of seeing unfairness where fairness mostly lies…but it’s nice to have a hobby.
Job: Sales assistant/customer service at Dymocks
Hobbies: Video games, anime and manga, roleplaying, cosplay, daydreaming, fencing, horse-riding, playing ocarina, writing songs, chilling out with some incense burning, singing, camping, climbing trees, dungeons and dragons, geeky online forums
Fears: Being sent to jail (for whatever reason!) or kidnapped, being asked a question in class when she doesn’t know the answer, her friends secretly disliking her, enclosed spaces
Ideal Career: Gardener, veterinarian or video game reviewer
Ideal Partner: Morganna has a thing for awkward, dorky guys and likes to be the one to take care of people, but at the same time she wants to be spoiled with luxurious things by her partner. She basically wants a cute geek who adores her - but said adoration has to go both ways. It's very easy for Morganna to fall in love, and she has a hard time distinguishing between love and infatuation, so she can have many romantic interests at one time and find it hard to "stay true". But that doesn't mean she'd cheat on a partner, she is just a natural flirt, so she'd need someone who trusts her to be loyal. Of course, it helps a lot if they like the same things she does - video games, anime, etc., because she likes to have someone to babble to about such interests.
General Personality: Pretty much every school report she has ever gotten says, "Morganna is a good student, but is not reaching her potential. She could earn a better grade if she spent less time up in the clouds and more time listening to her teacher." Her short attention span when it comes to reality reaches all areas of her life. She often doesn't notice when someone is calling her name, for example. Her tendency to drift off and daydream has become a bit of a joke amongst her friends, but she doesn't mind. She takes a very laid-back attitude to life, and says that fantasy is often more fun than the real thing. This could also explain her love of video games, as if they are an escape into a more exciting world.
Since she is so relaxed about life and doesn't see the point of silly arguments, Morganna is usually the peace-keeper in the group. She can see all sides to a story, so she sympathises with everyone's point of view and makes sure nobody feels cheated. She usually does a good job of making sure arguments don't spark up again as soon as she's turned her back.
She is the one the others always turn to with their problems, because despite what her teachers say, when it comes to emotions, Morganna is a very good listener. Her strong sense of empathy means she always does her best to offer comfort and advice, and she must be doing something right, since people just keep on opening up to her... She loves the feeling of trust, but having such a role does not really allow for her to share her own problems at times. She is also usually the one to get stuck in the middle in conflicts within the group -- along with Edgar, who is too shy about raising his voice to get into a fight with a friend.
Full name: Gwenhwyfar Argraff Dubashi
Nicknames: Piggy, Pig, Pigtails, Gwen
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Nationality/Ethnic Background: Her dad is Indian, and her mum is Welsh with some Spanish background. She lived in the USA with them until she turned thirteen.
Species: Human
Zodiac Sign: Sagittarius
School Classes: Drama, Music, Dance, Art, Chemistry, German, Basketball
Religion: Agnostic
Political Views: Piggy is very fickle where politics are concerned. She doesn’t necessarily believe in one system, but will go along with any when it suits her. If she sees something in one party’s policies that will benefit her or a cause that could make her look good to follow, she will support it for her own gain.
Job: None
Hobbies: Singing, dancing, exercising, eating, sleeping, being obnoxious, reading magazines, travelling, karate, causing awkward moments, cloud-watching, people-watching, gambling and card games, playfighting, arm-wrestling, making games out of everything
Fears: Being ignored, being trapped, being buried alive, her friends leaving her, having to talk about her own feelings (she’s fine to discuss everyone else’s but she can’t open up), authority figures, serious commitments
Ideal Career: Stage actor
Ideal Partner: Someone who instinctively sees her for who and what she really is and will accept her, not despite it, but because of it. Therefore someone who both frightens her and comforts her at once, but who ultimately she can be herself around. She wants a long chase before anything starts between her and a potential partner; she is attracted to mysterious people and driven by curiosity. Because of this, and the fact that she shuts herself off from romantic opportunities due to a disbelief in her ability to be attractive, they would have to really get her attention first. It helps a lot if they make the first move obvious, but then play hard-to-get.
General Personality: Piggy has really made a name for herself as the "craziest psychotic freak of nature in the school". The jarring, mismatched way she dresses and her loud, brash nature lead people to feel this way about her. She insists she does it because she doesn't care what anyone thinks of her, and this is pretty true. But there is a deeper reasoning. Piggy doesn't care what anyone thinks of her -- as long as they think of her at all. She wants to get attention, and she doesn't know how else to get it other than to be as different as she possibly can. She thrives off the weird looks she gets from people when she does something out of the ordinary. However, her obnoxious and seemingly mental nature is decidedly unhealthy for her, as it leads to some very negative feelings towards herself. Piggy tends to spend most of her alone time hating herself for acting like such an idiot, only she doesn't know how to stop it, and none of her friends seem to realise. A lot of the time, she doesn't know how they manage to put up with her, and gets scared that they must all secretly hate her.
Now and then Piggy does things she ends up feeling guilty for. While she would never want to hurt one of her friends physically or emotionally, she is not above playing tricks on them for a joke -- the kind of tricks many people would not see as very funny. But she'll always put a stop to things if they go too far, and if she ever unintentionally throws one of her friends into a seriously bad situation, she'll be the first to step in and try and make it better. If need be, she'd protect her friends with brute force, and she wants more of a chance to show it, so that she could be forgiven for the carelessness she might have shown them in the past.
Full name: Julius Oberon Anderson
Nicknames: Jules, Julie (Wolfgang sometimes calls him this when he wants to annoy him)
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Probably straight, but kinda asexual.
Nationality/Ethnic Background: English a long way back on both sides, with some Norwegian on his mother’s side.
Species: Human
Zodiac Sign: Virgo
School Classes: English, English Literature, History, Biology, Photography, French, Table Tennis
Religion: Atheist
Political Views: Julius hates politics, because “you can never win.” He's quite cynical about it, not supporting any one party but pointing out the idiocy of all of them. But if you ask him how he thinks the government should be run, he won't have a good answer.
Job: Selling gelato at a stall in the local shopping complex.
Hobbies: Reading, writing prose, writing poetry, writing letters, knitting, photography, overanalysing literature, people-watching, cleaning, gardening, cooking, sewing, collecting paintings
Fears: Wasting space, illness, uncleanliness, people invading his personal space, people reading his diary
Ideal Career: Published writer
Ideal Partner: Julius is not the kind of guy to think about people romantically, not unless the images get put in his head against his will. He's just not a sexual being. (Not that he hasn't experimented on his own before, but to want to be intimate with another person, he'd have to be really comfortable with them and have known them really well for a long time.) He doesn't like people invading his personal space or making advances on him, and talking about romance makes him very uncomfortable. But if he was to be with someone, apart from being someone he's already very close to, they would have to be someone very patient and understanding, who knows when to give him closeness and when to give him space. Someone who is good at diffusing arguments and calming people down would be healthy for him. He would also like someone else to talk to about literature, since none of his close friends are really as interested in that stuff.
General Personality: Julius tends to shut himself off in social situations and not engage in conversation much, so people tend to see him as a standoffish snob, and he can be one. He just has a bad habit of thinking he is better and smarter than everyone else, and he hates silly and unnecessary things, so trivial conversation generally irks him. Logic rules his world, and he has little patience with stupid people. He is always the first to correct the grammatical or spelling mistakes of others, and doesn't seem to notice or care how much people hate that. Such habits have gotten him into trouble on more than one occasion, although his friends usually try to be patient. All the same, he and Wolfgang are always getting into heated arguments about next to everything.
Despite the way he treats them sometimes, Julius really loves his friends, even if he won't tell them that freely. He is a bit socially awkward due to his shut-off nature, so he thinks it somewhat of a shame that he doesn't see all his friends as often as they all see each other. They all make a conscious effort to invite him places, but Julius is never the one to play host or to organise get-togethers. He thinks sometimes that he must be doing something wrong, but then in his cynicism he draws the conclusion that the world is full of bastards, so why even try?
Also, Julius is the kind of guy who loves analysing everything. He reads as deep as he can into every situation and text, and has a good time telling people why the sweet and romantic moments in their favourite TV shows are really riddled with twisted subtext. People tell him he gives it way too much thoughts. Sometimes he thinks so, too -- left to his own devices, he can think so much about a good memory and the implications of every moment that it stops being a good one anymore. In fact, the only think he doesn't like to pick apart is his own psyche. (That's for me and you to analyse!)

Ideal Career: Either a rock star, a film and TV actor, or a high school teacher.
Ideal Partner: Nathan Fillion. Someone who admires him but doesn’t idolise him, who he can admire too. There would have to be a lot of give and take in the relationship, (they give and he takes - lol, joking) where they can both shower each other with gifts and sweet affirmations. And sex, yay.

Ideal Career: Published writer
Ideal Partner: Julius is not the kind of guy to think about people romantically, not unless the images get put in his head against his will. He's just not a sexual being. (Not that he hasn't experimented on his own before, but to want to be intimate with another person, he'd have to be really comfortable with them and have known them really well for a long time.) He doesn't like people invading his personal space or making advances on him, and talking about romance makes him very uncomfortable. But if he was to be with someone, apart from being someone he's already very close to, they would have to be someone very patient and understanding, who knows when to give him closeness and when to give him space. Someone who is good at diffusing arguments and calming people down would be healthy for him. He would also like someone else to talk to about literature, since none of his close friends are really as interested in that stuff.
General Personality: Julius tends to shut himself off in social situations and not engage in conversation much, so people tend to see him as a standoffish snob, and he can be one. He just has a bad habit of thinking he is better and smarter than everyone else, and he hates silly and unnecessary things, so trivial conversation generally irks him. Logic rules his world, and he has little patience with stupid people. He is always the first to correct the grammatical or spelling mistakes of others, and doesn't seem to notice or care how much people hate that. Such habits have gotten him into trouble on more than one occasion, although his friends usually try to be patient. All the same, he and Wolfgang are always getting into heated arguments about next to everything.
Despite the way he treats them sometimes, Julius really loves his friends, even if he won't tell them that freely. He is a bit socially awkward due to his shut-off nature, so he thinks it somewhat of a shame that he doesn't see all his friends as often as they all see each other. They all make a conscious effort to invite him places, but Julius is never the one to play host or to organise get-togethers. He thinks sometimes that he must be doing something wrong, but then in his cynicism he draws the conclusion that the world is full of bastards, so why even try?
Also, Julius is the kind of guy who loves analysing everything. He reads as deep as he can into every situation and text, and has a good time telling people why the sweet and romantic moments in their favourite TV shows are really riddled with twisted subtext. People tell him he gives it way too much thoughts. Sometimes he thinks so, too -- left to his own devices, he can think so much about a good memory and the implications of every moment that it stops being a good one anymore. In fact, the only think he doesn't like to pick apart is his own psyche. (That's for me and you to analyse!)
