the canon characters .
READ THIS FIRST !
aloha. (: it appears you've reached our wonderful (and quite lengthy)
list of canon characters. all the characters' personalities were created
by the site's admins, who also chose the selected celebrity face claims
for each character. both of these aspects concerning the canons are
absolutely not negotiable! please don't argue with us about changing
a face or part of the personality, because we won't bend just for you.
they're special (: think of it that way! anyway, if the character has only
a last name, that means he or she is open, but if his or her whole name
is filled in, that means that canon is taken. if you would like to reserve
a character, please use the reservation form below. you may hold a
character reservation for up to two days after you reserve him or her.
during that time, no one may register for that character - but if you
return after four days and that canon is taken, the blame is on you,
not us. it's not our responsibility to babysit a canon for you; you can
take care of that yourself. also, it's a good rule of thumb to reserve
the character you intend to take before posting your application - this
is because you could post a halfway-done application and someone
else can reserve that same character which you haven't...and then they
get first dibs. be careful! looking over the application of a character
who yours is affiliated with is smart as well so you can provide a bit of
decent history for both in your own application. thanks for reading this
and happy canon-hunting/application-posting! pm for questions <3

ps. the absolutely lovely images for the face claims used on the canon list were created by our friend molly of the sun is setting fire! drop by and give her a thank-you and a compliment on how pretty they are! (:

hickman, --- --- .
eighteen, emma watson.

hickman was born in richmond, virginia, but when her parents
finally divorced, she was forced to move in with her father, in
new york city, new york. the idea of moving to new york city had
never really appealed to hickman in the way that her father
had hoped - she didn't like the attitudes of most new yorkers;
she wasn't necessarily attracted to loud and boisterous people.
when she graduated high school, she chose not to go to college,
but instead to move as far away from new york city as her father
would allow her to. that happened to be the new apartments that
had recently opened in boca raton, florida. hickman moved into
the pinot grigio complex, next door to a couple of guys who were
rooming in one apartment together: graham and carson. hickman
knew that graham had immediately taken a liking to her as soon
as they laid eyes on each other, and hickman had to admit to
herself that she was rather fond of graham as well. eventually,
the two began to date after sharing a kiss at the annual bordeaux
christmas party last year. but as soon as they started dating, a
jealous carson stepped into the picture and began to try and
make a few moves on hickman. graham didn't like this, because
carson was his best friend. but hickman started to take a small
liking to carson as well...and now she's torn between two guys.
her choice could mean their friendship, and she just doesn't know.



graham, --- --- .
nineteen, rupert grint.

growing up, graham had it all: his parents were a pair of wealthy
entrepreneurs who were making multi-millions every day without
having to break a sweat, so he was often granted anything he
wanted. he was spoiled when he was younger but then learned
that it'd be hard to make friends while being a brat, so he changed
his image. even so, he was still rich. he had many friends in high
school and was known to throw the best parties, and not just for
the fact that he lived in a mansion to throw them in. after graham
graduated high school, he didn't see much reason to go to college,
because he'd have enough inherited money to support himself
and a future family for the rest of his life. but when his best friend,
carson, got kicked out of his house and needed a place to stay,
graham couldn't resist offering up his place - afterall, the guy was
in desperate need of a home. shortly after carson moved in with
him, a girl named hickman moved in next door to them, and the
moment graham saw her, he was immediately smitten. as time
went on, graham and hickman became friends, carson at their
side all the while, supporting the relationship that graham needed
the guts to start. when they finally kissed at last year's christmas
party, they made it official. but as soon as it happened, carson
came onto hickman, which apparently confused her, and caused
her to be forced to decide between two different guys. graham is
pissed at carson for trying to steal his girlfriend, and isn't sure
that he'll let carson stay with him much longer. it's just time now.



carson, --- --- .
nineteen, daniel radcliffe.

carson never really had a good relationship with his parents while
he was growing up. his stubbornness often got in the way of his
parents' attempts at love and compassion towards him even when
he was a child. as soon as he became a teenager, though, the
sparks were flying and heads were butting in the carson household.
there was always fighting and arguing going on, and when carson
was grounded, he'd always be the one to have the rebellious sort
of nature - he'd sneak out to be with his best friends. even though
he was a smart kid, he never put his wits to it, and got poor grades
throughout high school. he barely graduated, and when he did,
his parents kicked him out - there was no way he was going to go to
college at this point, anyway. but now he was faced with a different
dilemma: finding a place to say. after some desperate searching,
he was finally able to confide in his best friend graham for a place
to stay, at least until he managed to get a place of his own. a few
weeks after he moved in, a girl moved in next door. her name was
hickman and carson could tell that graham was in love with her
after week two of being acquainted with her. carson approved of
their potential relationship, but that was while it was non-existant.
when they actually started dating, he felt a little jealous...because
he secretly felt for hickman as well. soon after graham and hickman
made their love official, carson began putting his moves on her,
which forced her to have to make a decision between the two. as
much as he doesn't want to admit it, carson regrets ever liking
hickman while graham did, but it's too late now. he's worried that
graham will kick him out of his apartment and he won't have a
place to stay...even worse, that he will never find acceptance.



lambert, --- --- .
twenty-two, rachel bilson.

lambert never liked florida. she never liked the too-hot weather
and the terrible humid summers, and the way that it was too far
down south to snow. she moved to boca unwillingly with her mom
when she was thirteen because of her mom's job. she had to
leave behind her dad and older brother, with whom she'd just
started to get close to, in iowa. she loved her mom and all that,
but she was never too entirely fond of her - but she offered a good
support system for those days where lambert just couldn't stand
herself. after almost ten years in boca raton, she's grown to at
least tolerate it. she doesn't mind the beach - and she certainly
doesn't mind the hot guys who prowl it day by day - but she misses
being a small-town girl whose only goals were to go to college and
start a family with the man she loved. lambert has been going to
a community college because she didn't have the grades for the
university of florida, boca raton community college. during her
first week there, she met oakley. he was cool, calm, and collected,
very much unlike her uptight, anxious self, but she liked him.
she sat next to him in calculus class and doodled in the margins
of his notebook, sending him playful "will you go out with me?"
notes during classes. eventually, he said yes, and they went on
one date to dinner, a movie, and then starbucks...it was just to
get to know each other. but when oakley was driving lambert back
home that night, he had a change of thought and instead went
back to his own apartment in bordeaux with her along with him.
there, they had a shameless one night stand. lambert wants a
real relationship with him, while oakley just isn't sure he can really
commit to one girl for a while. lambert wants him to be her, well,
boyfriend - but she's not giving him the time he needs to think.



oakley, --- --- .
twenty-two, adam brody.

oakley grew up with four older sisters and a brother who was four
yeras younger than him, and his family was the only one with kids
in the neighborhood he lived in while he was a kid - so it's going to
be reasonable to say that he's metrosexual. he's always making
sure that his hair is good-to-go and if he's not matching...well, it's
not pretty. it's safe to say he's not gay, at least. having four older
sisters, did have its advantages, though: it gave oakley more time
to try and figure out girls and the way their complicated little heads
functioned. and he always had such great fashion sense, winning
best dressed in his senior year of high school. unfortunately, he
didn't have the grades of his sisters, so he went to a community
college instead of the university of florida, which was where he'd
wanted to go since he was ten years old. he just hadn't been born
with the smarts that his sisters had. during his freshman year of
college, he took calculus class, in which he sat next to lambert.
even though she was a quirky and uptight individual, oakley still
liked her, and he flirted shamelessly with her in class by letting her
doodle in his notebook. when they finally went out on a date - which
was dinner, a movie, and a starbucks coffee drink - he decided to
take her back to his apartment in bordeaux and have a good time
with her - hell, why not? she was too hot not to have sex with, he
thought. and so they had a one night stand. oakley thinks it's all
over and done with, but lambert is expecting more out of it. the
problem is that oakley really likes lambert...but he just isn't sure
that he'll be able to be involved in a committed relationship with
anyone, since he basically has a.d.d. as far as dating goes. and
lambert just isn't giving him the time he needs to think about it all.

richardson, --- --- .
twenty, minka kelly.

her whole life, richardson tried to be like her older sister, who
seemed to have it all: good looks, popularity, and good luck
with guys. richardsonoften wondered why she always got the
short end of the stick: she had friends, of course, but not the
good and faithful kind she wanted - and needed; she never
had a boyfriend for more than two months - or weeks; and
she just had all-around bad luck, was insecure about herself
and her surroundings, and...just, everything. she became a
cheerleader in middle school, following in the footsteps of her
older sister, and continued to do so throughout high school.
it was there that she met hutchins, the school's star football
player. he talked to her after the football and cheerleading
practices one day while she was walking down the hallway at
a slow pace. after that day, they talked like this every day,
until richardson found that she was able to talk to hutchins,
a little more than easily. she started liking him, predictably,
after some time, and by senior year, the two of them were
dating. but it was during the same year that richardson heard
that her sister had died in a fatal car accident. it happened
the morning of the news' delivery. richardson was devastated,
she had always looked up to her sister for guidance and
support, even though she'd envied her. but hutchins was
there for her as her boyfriend for the emotional support she
now needed. after high school, they moved into an apartment
in bordeaux together and began to attend college. but now
that they're living together and have been dating almost three
years, hutchins is jumping on the idea that they should get
married. richardson isn't too thrilled with the idea, wanting to
wait until after they graduate to marry...but hutchins is thinking
otherwise. she doesn't know if she's ready to get married...or
if hutchins really is 'the one'.



hutchins, --- --- .
twenty, taylor kitsch.

hutchins was the perfect role model for any younger brother:
unfortunately, the only problem was that hutchins didn't have
a younger brother who could view him as a hero. yet still, he
was the perfect child: he had the smarts that landed him in
advanced placement classes in high school, was a popular kid,
and was the star of his high school's football team. he was
usually surrounded by a group of kids, whether they were his
friends or not; hutchins seemed to be friends with everyone
anyway. he even reached out to and talked with the kids who
didn't seem to have any friends. he was an all-around great
guy, loved by even the teachers of his school and the principal.
the only thing was that he never really had a true love while
growing up. sure, he dated here and there, but he's never
experienced what love truly feels like...never until he met
richardson. she was a cheerleader and leaving her practice
one afternoon, and hutchins was walking to his car after a long
football practice when he started talking to her and making
light conversation. eventually, they'd become friends, and
started to like each other. but hutchins proved to the others
that it wouldn't be just another typical high school football-
cheerleader relationship: they began dating in junior year,
and are still together as college juniors. they're living together
in bordeaux, and hutchins is considering marriage. after all,
they've been together for years, and he's thinking richardson
is the girl he'll spend the rest of his life with. but richardson
isn't so sure, and it's making hutchins angry that she isn't
agreeing with him, just this once. she's saying that they
should wait until after they graduate college to get married,
but he's pushing it that they'll be engaged for awhlie instead.



bridges, --- --- .
twenty-three, mischa barton.

"poor little rich girl," they always said when describing bridges.
her father owned a well-known and wealthy florida winery and
her mother was the ceo of a business in boca raton. she never
really saw her parents, both for these reasons and for the fact
that she was enrolled in a boarding school when middle school
came around. she was stuck at the same school - boca raton
private academy for young women - all the way through high
school, and she always hated it. she was looked down upon as
a snobby rich girl and only had a few true friends. every summer
when she went home to the real friends she had at the beach,
her parents ignored her like she was a mere dog that had just
rolled in something smelly. it was hard for her to find love, too,
since there were obviously no guys at her private school. during
the summer, she lived a life filled with wild parties and plenty
of one night stands. it wasn't really a good life, but it was better
than being ignored all the time by her parents. she became a
drinker when she was fifteen and has been drinking every since.
when she graduated high school, she took this opportunity to
get an apartment in bordeaux, where she could finally escape
her parents. it was there that, at a pool party for the whole
neighborhood, she met wilson. he was smoking a cigarette with
a friend of his and minding his own business when a very drunk
bridges stumbled across his lap, called him sexy, and asked if
he wanted to have a little fun. wilson, who was sober, responded
with a calm "no"...but bridges tried to drag a yes out of him. it
didn't work, and for two weeks after that, bridges followed him
like a lost puppy. she wanted him, and wanted him badly. but
wilson won't consider her until she cleans up her act and stops
drinking, since he doesn't drink and hates alcohol, anyway. but
the only problem is, bridges isn't sure if she can change for him
right away. and she wants him. she's faced with the greatest
challenge of her life so far: can she change for a man she loves?



wilson, --- --- .
twenty-four, ben mckenzie.

when wilson started high school, he looked at it as an opportunity
to start a new life and leave behind the good little boy he'd been
known as in middle school. almost immediately he got into drugs
and alcohol: thanks to one of his senior friends - who was able to
supply him with weed every weekend - he was getting high behind
the grocery store near his neighborhood with the same group of
friends every saturday evening. he found ways to get the alochol
he wanted - or needed - and was getting drunk at parties. pretty
soon, he was known as a stoner, a drinker, but he never smoked
cigarettes. he didn't like the way that most kids did it, so smoking
weed appealed to him more - plus, that and drinking was much
more fun because of the adrenaline rush that came with smuggling
it here and there. his parents never found out...that is, not until
he was a junior, and they busted him. they sent him to a tough
boot camp that summer for six weeks, which taught him a hard-
learned lesson. after that, he quit the drugs, stopped the drinking,
and resorted back to the good boy he'd been in middle school. he
managed to get into a community college and graduated from it
when he was twenty-two, about the time he started smoking. he
was a calm guy, very reasonable, and he's completely changed:
he hates drinkers and alcohol itself, and he doesn't like his old
self at all. he's smart when it comes to common sense and things
like that, a good conversationalist, and a friend of many. he's
a sweet guy, too - very compassionate and caring. but when he
met bridges, he had to draw the line somewhere, because the
way she fell over him in a drunken stupor and asked for sex didn't
appeal to him at all. he told her he might consider her when she
cleaned up her act, and she's treating it as if she can't do it...but
he knows she can, because he did it himself. the question is...
will wilson really date her after she sobers up, or is he just saying it?



olson, --- --- .
twenty-two, bethany joy galeotti.

olson dropped out of high school in her junior year to go on with
the modeling career she'd begun in the eighth grade. it'd always
been her dream to make the cover of some kind of magazine, to
earn millions through the modeling business was her goal. besides,
in high school, she would never be smart enough to go to college.
she knew this. she was making millions by the time she would've
been a college sophomore, and everyone knew her name. she
even got stopped for autographs on the street. after some time,
olson got tired of having her name called left and right when she
went out in public. because of this, she decided to have plastic
surgery and to have her name changed (to olson) so people would
not be constantly recognizing her. along with this, she dropped out
of the modeling business. she had plenty of money to live off of
during the rest of her lifetime. around the time she moved into
the new apartments in bordeaux, she met jamison. he worked at
the golf course and had been in the clubhouse on olson's first day
of living in the apartments, and she'd been registering her new
address when she noticed him walking in from the golf course; he
was dressed like he'd been golfing. olson was interested, of course.
she was about to go up to him and introduce herself as a famous
model, but then realized that she wasn't using that lifestyle any
more. all she got out of him was a smile that said "hey there"...
but nothing else. a few weeks later, olson was at a bar with her best
friend park and she saw him there with another guy, probably his
friend. park encouraged olson to go and introduce herself, so she
did. jamison appeared interested immediately after olson began
talking to him, and the two exchanged phone numbers. now, they
have been going out almost six months...and olson is pregnant.
her problem is that she doesn't know how to tell jamison, who is
confused as to why she's been acting so strangely lately. olson is
debating between keeping the baby or scheduling an appointment
for an abortion...she's leaning toward keeping the baby, after she
tells jamison. but will she ever be able to break the news to him?



jamison, daniel whit .
twenty-three, james lafferty.

from the day he was born, jamison has always had the nature of
a troublemaker. as a baby, he threw bits of baby food around the
kitchen while sitting in his highchair, laughing as though giddy,
and when he got older and was able to walk and talk, he repeated
some of the dirty words that came out of the mouth of his father,
an alcoholic. he broke the rules for attention in middle school, but
in high school, he changed his mission and broke the rules just for
fun, not wanting to be a needy guy. he's never had a girlfriend much
longer than a month or two, with the occasional six-month-long
relationship, but that's about it. he always felt the need to go against
the word of his parents, and he lost his virginity at age thirteen. he's
a little more mature now, but he still likes to have a lot of fun and is
a huge prankster. some of his friends have held grudges against
him after he's pranked them bad enough to make them mad at him,
but since he's such a loveable, funny guy, they always go back to
him as his friend. but that's the thing: jamison is almost too funny.
he's hardly ever serious, and a lot of people have left him because
he doesn't take things seriously half the time. but that's just why
he loves olson: because she knows how to keep himself level-
headed. he first saw her after coming in from the golf course one
day, but never met her until a couple weeks later, when he was at
a bar with his best friend underwood. he fell in love with her a day
later, when he called her after receiving her phone number at the
bar. they've been dating ever since, and jamison has been happy
...only, olson's been acting strangely around him, and he doesn't
know why. he's worried that she's planning on breaking up with him,
and jamison is hoping to god that she says with him.

underwood, --- --- .
twenty-four, jensen ackles.

underwood has always been the guy who doesn't go a single
place without his best friend or his girlfriend - that's because
he knows that he can depend on either one to accompany
him to a bar or club or whatever - or just to cure his boredom.
he doesn't like being alone because he's got anxiety issues.
when he was a kid, he would stay up late and watch movies
because of insomnia, but he'd fear that someone was trying
to kill him because of the way the wind caused the big tree
outside his house to thump against the walls. of course, he's
adult enough to be able to fall asleep in an apartment alone,
living strictly on medication for his mental health. he's even
been in the hospital before thanks to panic attacks. because
of this, he needs someone who can support him when he's on
the edge of freaking out - and that someone is his life, his
everything: park. she came into his life at the bordeaux pool
party last year on the fourth of july, when he was hanging out
with a few of his friends. she started hitting on him, and he
was flirting with her in no time...and less than an hour later,
the two of of them were in the corner of the pool area, making
out. they've been dating ever since then, and their relationship
is thriving better than ever. park is underwood's greatest help
in the times where his panic and anxiety overtake him. she's
driven him to the hospital and she's there to keep him safe
when they fall asleep at night. underwood values her more
than he values himself, sometimes. but lately, his anxiety's
been bothering him worse than ever, and park's not always
there for him twenty-four/seven because of her new job. he
can barely handle himself when she's not around...and he's
got the best friend in jamison, who only knows how to have fun.



park, --- --- .
twenty-two, sophia bush.

being one of the most careful girls in the world, park doesn't
just take chances. she has to know the good and bad that
comes out of every decision she makes, and she's a reasonable
thinker. she's smart and pretty clever - especially with guys,
but that's a different story. she's a charmer, that's for sure.
she took the precautions, read every step of instructions,
and always planned ahead; she hated when she randomly
got asked to go out to dinner. she had to know the time and
date in advance or she couldn't do it. when she first moved to
florida, living in miami, she was a workaholic, but that changed
as she moved into bordeaux. she wanted to change a little, to
unwind...and she was able to with underwood, once she figured
out how she could manage his anxiety, and his quirky ways. she
fell in love with him the night she met him; she'd made out with
him at a pool party. but things escalated dramatically from there.
park supported underwood and moved in with him after a only a
few weeks of their relationship's existence, but it was mainly for
the reason that he needed someone to stay with him and keep
an eye on him. and keep an eye on him, park did. but...now
that park has learned he's gotten her pregnant, she's afraid to
tell him, fearing he might have another panic attack. she's got
to find a good way to tell him. and besides that, there's the
fear of losing him as her boyfriend. she's freaked out. she's
got the best friend in olson for advice, but she's just unsure.



nelson, --- --- .
twenty-five, chad michael murray.

nelson made the travel basketball team when he was in seventh
grade, and, being the shortest boy on the team, he had quite a
bit to live up to, since the taller boys criticized him for being too
short and not being able to play well enough. as it turned out, he
would outshine them all in games and then tournaments. nelson
loved basketball ever since he first picked up a ball at three years
old, barely able to shoot it through a hoop that was seven feet off
the ground...yet somehow, when he finally got it to swish through,
he was impressed by his skills, even as a three year old. he was
on numerous small teams as a kid, and played travel during his
middle school years, which got him to be good. he was one of the
first sophomores ever to make the varsity basketball team in his
high school, and as soon as he graduated, the miami heat wanted
him. he played for a few years until he met farley, who attended a
home game while she was just settling in her new home of boca.
she managed to get passes to meet the team, and when nelson
met her, he was intrigued by her and managed to get her number.
two years later, they were married. but since they've been married,
it feels as if the heat has been traveling more than they thought.
it's getting hard for nelson to spend time with farley, because she
can't always accompany him to away games. she used to go to
every home game, but she's been skipping out on a few lately.
nelson thinks it's because he's been blowing her off himself to
hang out with his teammates. he feels guilty but he just can't bring
himself to confront her and apologize...and she might just leave him.



farley, stella addison .
twenty-four, hilarie burton.

farley's dad was a basketball player for the new york knicks. she
and her mom went to every single home game that her father
played in, and they cheered him on from lower-level seats. farley
loved the atmosphere of the basketball court: the overwhelming
stench of the players' sweat, the coaches who were screaming
till they were beet-red in the face, and the roar of the crowd when
the home team sunk a basket. farley enjoyed watching her dad
play and had a lot of knicks pin-ups in her new york bedroom at
home, despite being the ultimate girly-girl. she just had a great
respect for basketball. but when her father had to retire from the
nba because he needed mandatory knee surgery, farley needed
to find a new obsession. she was a senior in high school when it
happened, and she didn't really have any intentions to attend a
college. therefore, she moved to boca raton, florida, where she
began to pull for the miami heat. she was able to sit in the lower-
level seats at the home games, and that was how she first saw
nelson. sure, he was sweating buckets but she still thought he was
just sexy. after the game, she and the friend she'd gone to the
game with had passes to meet the team...and when it came time
to shake hands with nelson, farley was nearly shaking herself.
the two began dating soon, even though it was risky due to nelson's
basketball duties. but still, the two of them married. they've been
married for about a year and a half now, but for the past few months
or so, it seems to farley that nelson doesn't really want to spend
time with her anymore. he's always bringing his teammates over
to the house to hang out and watch movies rather than being with
farley. and farley doesn't really like it. it's gotten so bad that she's
considered leaving him if it goes on like this. farley's heartbroken
because what she thought was the perfect marriage is in jeopardy.



russe, annaleise delia .
eighteen, taylor momsen.
TAKEN

you know that girl who never seems to do anything wrong?
the one who's never tried drugs or alcohol and has never had
sex? well, that was russe. her golden blonde hair seemed like
a halo around her head and her smile was always angelic. like
a good girl, she got perfect grades and was friends with about
everyone. she was vice president of her school and head of the
prom committee. she got accepted at yale and harvard and
earned scholarships from both. everything seemed to be going
perfect for little russe. the night all the seniors were looking
forward to rolled around finally: prom night. russe was going with
her best friend since kindergarten, princeton. they had always
known they would end up going to prom together, unless they
were in relationships at the time. and their promise was kept.
russe had broken up with her boyfriend about a month ago and
princeton hadn't had a girlfriend since the beginning of the year.
the night went off without a hitch. princeton picked her up, they
went out to eat at a fancy restaurant, they went to prom where
they danced and laughed, and went to princeton's house
afterward to pig out and watch a movie. as the night went on,
one thing led to another and russe ended up in bed with princeton.
they both had harbored a small crush on each other for quite
sometime, but had never talked about it. neither of them had
expected to have sex; russe had always though that she would
wait until marriage. but obviously not. it was almost graduation
time when russe found out the news that would change her life:
she was pregnant. too afraid to let her parents know, she and
princeton ran off to boca raton right after graduation. she didn't
even bother to tell her parents where she was going.


princeton, --- --- .
eighteen, joe jonas.

ever since he was born, princeton has had the gifted ability to
make good decisions, no matter what the circumstances were.
he knew how to get himself out of bad situations and was one
of the most responsible kids ever while he was growing up. he
never smoked or drank or did drugs - not even experiments -
and he was, in a nutshell, the perfect son. being a smart boy,
he never brought home any grade lower than a b minus, and
he made honor roll every quarter from the third grade all the
way through twelfth grade. he was destined to go to harvard -
he wanted to become a lawyer - and was accepted to its school
of law. he was the president of the student body at high school
and had a lot of friends because of how good, how genuine a
guy he was. everyone seemed to like him. among that large
number of friends was his best friend, russe, a girl he'd known
since their kindergarten days, having met through asking to
borrow an orange crayon. now that they're seniors, everyone
is expecting them to date at any given moment, but it hasn't
happened. they did, however, go to senior prom - who would
miss it? neither of them had dates. princeton picked russe up
and they enjoyed a wonderful, and, as it turned out, romantic
night together. first came dinner, then they headed off to the
place where prom was taking place. it was too fun. and then
they headed back to princeton's place to watch movies and
just be the best friends they were...but during the notebook,
princeton felt russe's lips on his cheek, and he kissed her
back...but on the lips. and one thing led to the next until they
found themselves waking up on princeton's bed the next
morning, more tired that morning than they'd ever been in
their short lives. princeton was horrified at the mistake he'd
made, because it wasn't in his intentions to have sex...he and his
brother had even bought promise rings when they were in middle
school. but what bothered him even more was the fact that they
hadnt used protection...and it turns out that russe was
pregnant with princeton's kid. devestated, the fled to boca
raton and moved into the new apartments as soon as graduation
ended - literally - and decided to try and start their life there,
not sure what else to do.

the complex right on the water

nyquist, ian carson .
twenty-three, chace crawford.
TAKEN

nyquist is the kind of guy that everyone seems to like: he's
random, funny, and just off-the-wall with his jokes and antics.
he's always had tons of friends, ever since he stepped through
the door of his preschool at four years old up till now, and he's
just graduated college. he's calm and mild-mannered, and he
knows when to be serious...so he's a pretty level-headed guy.
he moved into the bordeaux apartments with his best friend
howard, who he somehow manages to put up with despite his
immaturity and lack of reasoning, but it doesn't matter. since
he's begun his new life in bordeaux, he's met a whole group of
new friends, and among them would be the kingston twins next
door. ever since he and howard moved in after graduating from
college, nyquist has been smitten with kingston (2), inventing
reasons to go next door and ask for things every day. in time,
kingston (2) picked up on it and the two are now going out...
and so are howard and kingston (1), somehow. nyquist isn't
sure that it's going to work out, but that's a different story. for
now, he's happy with kingston (2) and has never loved a girl
more. but one night, nyquist hosted a masquerade party with
howard at the bordeaux clubhouse, and much to the guys'
dismay, the kingston twins decided to come dressed alike.
nyquist knew that this would only lead to a load of crap, and it
did: he ended up making out with kingston (1) rather than his
own girlfriend, and even though she went along with it, howard
and kingston (2) have never been angrier at him. and nyquist
just didn't know and can't help that. now he is desperately
trying to win back his girlfriend and his best friend but he isn't
sure if it's really going to happen. but he's got a plan to at least
try and get them back and restore things to normal...the only
question is whether or not it's going to work efficiently enough.



howard, sebastian scott.
twenty-three, ed westwick.
TAKEN!

howard's not necessarily the first friend you want to make when
moving into a new community. he's not someone you want to
become affiliated with anyway, but once you do, it's kind of hard
to tear yourself away, because once you get used to his strange
and annoying ways, you'll find that it's hard to do without taking
all your anger out on someone. he's from london, england, so
he was born with a charm that women can't get themselves away
from, and he uses that charm to his advantage by flirting with
every pretty girl who comes his way. he's slept with more girls than
he's dated - and trust me, that's a big number. he's edgy and a
strange guy, has terrible bad luck, and is hypocritical - he says
he'll stop smoking, but a week later he's opening a fresh pack.
that's just the way howard was born and there's not much changing
it. he's had his friends and his enemies, but he was surprised
when a guy like nyquist picked him up while they were in college.
they've been living in the same apartment since they graduated
about a year and a half ago and howard is eternally grateful to
nyquist for taking him in, since howard has barely anything ever
going for him anyway. after they moved in, nyquist started hitting
on one of the kingston twins next door, and since there was an
available pretty girl so close to him, howard just couldn't resist.
he started putting his moves on her, asking her out almost every
hour it seemed. at some point, kingston (1) finally fell victim to
his englishman's ways, falling victim to his charm. things were
going great until howard and nyquist had the bright idea to have
a masquerade party at the clubhouse...and the kingston twins
arrived wearing the exact same outfits. howard didn't know if they
were just trying to get on his nerves or not. but when he found out
that nyquist had made out with his girl, he was enraged, and so
was kingston (2). he won't forgive nyquist, but he can forgive his
girlfriend. he knows nyquist doesn't have the heart to kick howard
out of their apartment, so howard moved in with the twins instead.
he's not sure if he can ever forgive that sorry bastard anyway.



kingston, brietta genevieve .
twenty-three, leighton meester.
TAKEN

being the older twin, kingston (1) has always believed that she
has the upper hand in everything. she's always pushed her 'little'
sister around and gone through life as if she's superior to her.
she's manipulative, especially when it comes to guys (she can
sleep with any guy she wants), and she's cold-hearted. to put it
lightly, she's a bitch, but that's only an understatement. she even
takes pride in her spicy attitude. it's only logically correct that she
ends up with a guy like howard. at first, the two only wanted each
other for the sex, but eventually it turned into some strange sort
of twisted love. needless to say, she's happy with him. but when
he and nyquist hosted a masquerade party, she decided with her
sister that they should go dressed a like and see which guy knows
his girlfriend better. kingston (1) ended up making out with old
nyquist - which she didn't mind too much, as she had to admit.
but howard didn't like it, and is treating kingston with forgiveness,
as if it was never her fault - though she obviously didn't back
away from nyquist when he came onto her, thinking she was her
sister. now, kingston (2) is upset and distraught, and kingston (1)
is trying to convince her that she should break up with nyquist.
hell if she cares. she's happy with howard and that's all that matters.



kingston, lorelai beatrice .
twenty-three, leighton meester.
TAKEN

the complete opposite of her sister, kingston (2) is innocent and
sweet, not to mention one of the best friend's you'll ever have.
she's easy to get to know and easy to make friends with, to begin.
and she's one of the nicest girls you'll ever run into. she's polite
and never forgets her manners, and is a lot more calm than her
wild sister is. while the kingston twins had a rough past together,
the two still have an unbreakable relationship as best friends and
twin sisters, which is why they're living together. one day a couple
of guys moved in next door, introducing themselves as nyquist and
howard. howard was a complete idiot and a bit of a jerk, so kingston
left him to her sister...but she moved onto nyquist, who started
flirting with her almost immediately after they met. she saw a lot of
nyquist and eventually they started going on. about two weeks ago,
nyquist and howard held a masquerade party and kingston thought
it'd be fun to mess with the boys' heads at the ball and dress exactly
alike. it turned out that nyquist kissed kingston (1) instead of his
own girlfriend. kingston (2) is mad at him and she's not sure if she
can forgive him. howard has even moved in with she and her sister
and she's not sure if she can even deal with him. and nyquist is
really beginning to get on her nerves with his desperate attempts
at apologies. even worse, kingston fears that if they ever do make
up somehow that their relationship will never be the same as it
was before all this stuff happened. it's only a matter of time now.



brown, --- --- .
nineteen, vanessa hudgens.

having grown up in las vegas, aka sin city, brown's more than used
to the world of gambling, getting drunk every night, and having one
night stands almost every weekend - she's lived that life. when she
was sixteen and still in high school, she decided to take a chance
with a few of her girlfriends, and they all went gambling at a casino,
and they were staying on the strip for a weekend. there, brown lost
her virginity to a guy she didn't even know and got piss drunk about
every night they were staying there. eventually, brown used this all
to her advantage and was soon living the life we just described. she
stayed in school, though, and as soon as she got out, she decided
she'd move to boca raton: after two years of living like a scandalous
whore, it was time to make a few changes in her life. and florida was
just the perfect place to start over. after her first couple of months
of living in bordeaux, things were going great and had never been
better: she was sober about eighty percent of the time and working
diligently on her drinking problems, but she wasn't sleeping around
and making a whore out of herself. but everything changed when she
met bowen. he was your typical sweet, you-make-the-decisions guy,
and he lived just across the hall. the moment brown set her eyes
upon him, the thought of having sex with him came into mind. and it
happened. they're forced into an awkward relationship together now
because she's pregnant with his baby and neither of them have the
money to schedule an abortion. but somehow, they're falling in love.
brown has never committed to a serious relationship before, and it
seems as though bowen really wants her. she can't do anything now.



bowen, --- --- .

bowen was always the nicest kid on the block. he was friends with
all the kids in his class, even the ones no one seemed to talk to. as
a kid in fourth and fifth grade, he was obsessed with baseball and
collecting baseball cards of his favorite characters. when middle
school rolled around, he changed his obsession from being sporty to
being a skater guy - he never went anywhere without his board, and
he was into sneaking into places at night to skate. he smoked a lot
and experimented with drugs during that time of his life, though he
stopped and cleaned up his act once his freshman year of highschool
came about. there, he became the definition of a prep: fixed hair,
popped collars, and destroyed jeans. this image seemed to fit him
best, so he went with it. he was the sweetest guy ever, thanks to all
he'd been through the last few years. he was like a teddy bear. when
he graduated high school, his loving mother and father gave him the
money necessary to go to college...but instead, he used that money
to rent himself an apartment in bordeaux and begin his new life that
way. when his father found out he was enraged, but it didn't bother
bowen all that much. after some time, though, he noticed that the
apartment across the hall from him had just been occupied by a
girl from las vegas. figuring she was hot, bowen made sure he'd keep
an eye out for her. as it turned out, they'd meet and have sex just
a few hours later...but now she's pregnant. bowen isn't sure what to
do but brown is someone he likes, and he hasn't liked someone
this much in a long time. now they're living together, waiting for
her to have the baby - she's due soon. will they stay together?

the original characters .
WE ONLY LIKE A LITTLE BIT.

here's the deal with original characters: we like them, but since
we've spent hours of our time working on the canons, we kind of
want you guys to get jiggy with the characters we've made for
you! but if you've read through the list over and over again and
you still don't see a canon that you could even try to roleplay,
then have no fear: you can make an original. but, as there is a
catch to every compromise, there is a catch to this one as well.
we are only allowing ten spots for original characters, and once
those ten spots are filled, we won't be making anymore spots
available until all the canons have been taken. that's just the
way it works, kiddos. if you don't like it, then don't waste your
precious time here! but if you have registered as an original, then
we'd like for you to post here with the following simple code...

please post in code and with the proper sized icon, or we will ignore it and your character will not be accepted at all. a 48x48 icon is the size of an aim buddy icon.
