Leigh from Grant My Last Request.

Tell me about yourself.
My name's Leigh, I'm not terribly interesting, but I'm always up for new friends...

What is your most important accomplishment to date?
I've been in a few cool plays, I suppose. My personal favourite play had to have been Midsummer's Night Dream; I love a bit of Shakespeare.

How would you describe your ideal job?
Something on a stage in front of millions...! No singing, thank you.

What goals do you have?
To make it to 18, if I'm perfectly honest. I can't see it happening...if it happens, it happens. If it doesn't...well, I don't have to worry about being disappointed!

How do you plan to achieve these goals?
What a stupid question...! Well, breathing on a day-to-day basis would be a priority, I suppose...

How do you personally define success?
When I make somebody else happy.

Describe a situation in which you were successful.
I was in Britannia High for two seconds. That's pretty successful.

What accomplishments have given you the most satisfaction in your life?
Not getting pregnant and not dying.

If you had to live your life over again, what one thing would you change?
Nothing, absolutely nothing. Everything happens for the reason; it defines who I am.

Would you rather work with information or with people?
People, of course! I'm a bit of a social butterfly, if I say so myself.

Are you a team player?
Through and through!

What motivates you?
Life.

Are you a goal-oriented person?
Oh, definitely. No question about it.

Tell me about some of your recent goals and what you did to achieve them.
I've failed all my recent goals, sadly...

What are your short-term goals?
Live...?

What do you see yourself doing five years from now?
Ahm, dead, unfortunately...

Where do you want to be ten years from now?
Alive, preferably.

Do you handle conflict well?
If 'well' is "punching in the face", then yes.

What major problem have you had to deal with recently?
I think cancer could be considered a problem.

Do you handle pressure well?
Very well.

What is your greatest strength?
I have no inhibitions.

What is your greatest weakness?
I tend to be a little blind to other's feelings...

What were your favorite classes?
Drama, drama, drama!

Is money important to you?
Well, yes and no...I love money, but it's no good when I'm dead, so I just spend it on the spot.

How much money do you need to make to be happy?
A fair bit...wouldn't really know, I'm pretty comfortable in that department as it is.

Summer Jackson from Forever Frozen

---

Tell me about yourself.
Uh, what's there to tell? I'm not remarkable, really.

What is your most important accomplishment to date?
Nothing. I don't have any. I can't do anything right, so how can you actually expect that I accomplished something?

How would you describe your ideal job?
Something where I could stay at home. I don't really care.

What goals do you have?
To be pretty and skinny.

How do you plan to achieve these goals?
Uh, plastic surgery and not eating? I don't know.

How do you personally define success?
When you impress everyone.

Describe a situation in which you were successful.
None. Seriously. I'm not good at anything.

What accomplishments have given you the most satisfaction in your life?
When I lost, like, ten pounds last year. But then I gained it all back and then some.

If you had to live your life over again, what one thing would you change?
Everything. I'd not get fat, for one thing.

Would you rather work with information or with people?
Information. I'm not very social.

Are you a team player?
No. I like being by myself if I'm not with Lisa.

What motivates you?
Uh, music if anything, I guess. Like, good music. Like David Cook and Green Day...

Are you a goal-oriented person?
Um, not really. I tend to forget about them.

What are your short-term goals?
To loose the weight and be pretty.

What do you see yourself doing five years from now?
I don't know. Being the same fat loser I am today.

Where do you want to be ten years from now?
Same as my answer before.

Do you handle conflict well?
No. I hate it.

What major problem have you had to deal with recently?
Being fat. What's more of a problem than that? I can't even look at myself anymore!

Do you handle pressure well?
No. I always cave.

What is your greatest strength?
Nothing, really. I'm a very weak person.

What is your greatest weakness?
Peer pressure, I'll do anything my friends say.

What were your favorite classes? Why?
English. It's easy.

Is money important to you?
Well, I suppose. I mean, you need money to live, right?

How much money do you need to make to be happy?
I don't know. I get around twenty dollars a week allowance...

Lisa Okello from Forever Frozen

---

Tell me about yourself.
I'm Lisa Okello. I live with my mother in the Suburban side of Toronto. Thankfully, only a bit away from Summer. I want to be a dancer. I think I'm going to apply to a University of arts and study dance. I know there's not too much i can do with it, but I want it anyways. I do mainly Contemporary and hip hop, so there's a few gigs out there I can get, I guess.

What is your most important accomplishment to date?
Winning the Best In Class. That was so big! I actually had to go to Quebec for a week to compete in the amateur addition! But it was so amazing once I did win.

How would you describe your ideal job?
Dancer! I want to dance with Janet Jackson. That would be so amazing. I've always admired her and her work, and being on her tour as a backup dancer is probably the dream job of any professional dancer!

What goals do you have?
Getting into a dance University! I'd love to go to Cégep du Vieux Montréal in Montreal. And then, after that, I'd love to just be a dancer in movies, or on tours.

How do you plan to achieve these goals?
By working hard and practicing always!

How do you personally define success?
I think I'm successful when I feel that I've fully accomplished something I've been working hard on.

Describe a situation in which you were successful.
Well, other than winning the Best In Show, I think my last recital was successful.

What accomplishments have given you the most satisfaction in your life?
I think I kind of answered this already? Well, when I won the thing! That's a really big thing, so I was pretty proud. My ma was in the audience, and when my name was announced... well, all the blisters and fractures bones were totally worth it.

If you had to live your life over again, what one thing would you change?
Nothing! I'm totally happy with my life.

Would you rather work with information or with people?
People, usually. Well, it depends on the person. Some people annoy the crap out of me. But usually I like working with people. It's more fun and it makes things easier.

Are you a team player?
Yeah. As long as others are pulling their weight, I'll pull mine.

What motivates you?
Everything! A good dance, a really nice flower. Good music. You know. Life is full of inspiration.

Are you a goal-oriented person?
Yeah. When I make a goal, I stick by it.

What are your short-term goals?
I'd really like to win the competition my school is holding for hip hop dance next week. It's not a big thing, but it would be nice.

What do you see yourself doing five years from now?
Hopefully dancing on tours! That would be really great!

Where do you want to be ten years from now?
Same thing! Maybe I'll eventually have a husband and kids, but I've got a while yet to think of that.

Do you handle conflict well?
Yeah. I usually dominate any conversation, so things usually go my way. And if they don't, I forgive sort of easily.

What major problem have you had to deal with recently?
Summer. She's getting worse and worse with her self image, and it's killing me to see my best friend going through that. It's not fair, because she's such an amazing, beautiful person and she just can't see it.

Do you handle pressure well?
Yes. I worst best under pressure, really. Rarely do I bend under pressure, so it works in my favor.

What is your greatest strength?
I'm a very vocal person and I always speak my mind. I don't let others get to me. My opinion of myself is the only one that matters.

What is your greatest weakness?
I tend not to listen very well. I'm not the best at arguing objectively, because I'm a bit pig headed that way. But I'm working on it!

What were your favorite classes? Why?
I like gym. I like the physical activity. It's fun. But my favourite academic classes are Math and Sociology. Math because it's all up to facts. Facts that don't vary from one person to the next. And Sociology because it is all about opinion. I like variety!

Is money important to you?
Not really. I mean, it's nice, right? I'd love to have anything I wanted, but it's okay.

How much money do you need to make to be happy?
Sometimes I'm happiest when all there is to eat is a bowl of macaroni and cheese.

- 125 lbs.
- Long red hair always held in a ponytail.

- Light clothing usually in dark colors to help camouflage in the night or shadows, though if he's outside in the daylight, he'll wear a thin tee with a brighter color.

Race/ethnicity: Caucasian/Irish and German.

Physical abilities/limitations: He lost his eye due to an accident that occurred when his sister was learning how to shoot a gun; it misfired and hit him. He has a bit of an issue with his depth perception, but other than that, it doesn't bother him too much. Neil's accuracy with a gun suffered, but he's training more with shooting to get back into rhythm. He's damn good at hand-to-hand combat, though, as well as parkour and freerunning, which his mom taught him at a younger age

FAMILY

Religion: He and his sister were raised in a loose Christian faith, though it was never specified to what branch they leaned toward. They both lost much of what little faith they had after their parents died, though Neil still wears his mother's cross around his neck, and his sister wears Dad's cross around her neck.

Place of birth: New York City, United States.

Place and time of story: New York City 2025.

- socioeconomic level: It's the same around the world: Upper middle class.
- religion: Christian, though very loose on religion.
- habits: Mom picked at whatever she was holding until she nearly ripped it in half when overwhelmed, and if she wasn't holding something, she picked at her cuticles. Dad cursed a lot when angry, but always apologized profusely when kids were around.
- quality of relationship with child(ren): Extremely good.
- living/deceased: Deceased.

Brothers/sisters/significant-other relatives (profile each)

Claudia Nike Fylan. (13-years-old.)
- race/ethnicity: Caucasian/Irish and German.
- socioeconomic level: Upper middle class, though now that she's in hiding with Neil and the rest of The Uglies, she doesn't particularly care about her economic level.
- religion: Used to be Christian, now she doesn't care.
- habits: She clenches and unclenches her fist, or she loads and unloads her gun whenever she can.
- quality of relationship: Very good.
- living/deceased: Living.

Family structure/life: After their mother died in the riots, Neil and Claudia's father became a wreck, succumbing to alcoholism and later hanging himself with a bed sheet. Their plans sprung into action and they ran away from what used to be their home before the authorities showed up, and have been living inside an old, cleared out water tower for the passed year. Their new family consists of The Uglies.

BRIEF LIFE STORY

- What was their life like before the story began?
It was okay; Neil couldn't have asked for anything to change as he thought it was going along smoothly until his mom and dad died. Not long after, he and The Uglies became Public Enemy Number One, which didn't help either. But he loves living the way he does, and wouldn't ask for any changes.
- What was growing up like for them?
“Awesome.” His mom taught him parkour and freerunning from the age of seven up until she died, so he was always moving. She said that it was much easier and fulfilling than anything the government could fish out for the kids to do, such as expensive hoverboard prototypes. He grew up with his mother's ideals and father's morals instilled in his head, as did his sister.
- Did they have a good or bad childhood?
Good up until a year ago.
- What struggles have they had, or hardships they have overcome?
His parents dying was a huge one. And having to stick up for Claudia due to a limp she's had since she was born while in grammar school was another one, as well as trying to live up to what his parents would have wanted as well as dealing with Storm everyday.
- Has their life worked out like they expected?
Yes and no. He planned on doing this a month after his mom died, and began work on the hideout with Claudia. A year after his mom's death, after his dad killed himself, he was forced to take Claudia earlier than expected and hide.
- Has their life been difficult or easy until now?
In the middle. Always in the middle.
- Were they forced into their current path, or are they here by choice?
Like I've stated above: It's both.
- Do they have regrets?
Of course. Though he doesn't share that information with anyone.
- What special circumstances have made them into who they are today?
Every damn day that he's been on this Earth, he's wanted to change it for the better good. His mom and her death, his dad and his death, everything that's ever happened to him – whether directly or indirectly – has affected Neil in one way or another.
- Did anything happen in their past that they cannot forget or live down, or that has deeply changed them or scarred them in some way?
Of course. Look above for your answer.

PSYCHOLOGY

Outer Goal (physical): Change the world back to the way it was.

Inner Goal (psychological/emotional): Figure out why Storm's such a jackass to him.

Defining characteristic: His eye patch and surprising stick-thinness.

Hopes/desires: Change the world back to the way it was, deal with what he's dubbed as his “teenage hormones gone awry”, et cetera.
Fears/phobias: Falling, though it's not as big as it was nine years ago when he first started his rooftop escapades. He's also got a fear of romantic love, since he's seen what happened to his parents and how it tore up his dad to the point of suicide when he lost the love of his life.
Dirty Secrets: “Psh. Like I'm gonna tell you any of those?”

Introvert or extrovert?: Introvert.

More thinking or feeling?: Thinking.

What do you see is the biggest contradiction(s) your character lives out?: He's living in the same world he despises, and working with the kid that he can't figure out and who doesn't seem to trust him.

Tends to be self centered? Selfish? Selfless?: He tries to be selfless, the keyword being “tries”.

Favorite and hated foods/drinks:
Favorite foods/drinks: Chicken stir fry/water and lemonade.
Hated foods/drinks: Pickles/any type of alcohol.

Education or important learning experiences: Got up to his junior year of high school, though in these times, that's still pretty advanced.

Most hated activities: Having to talk alone with Storm; sleeping.

Most enjoyed activities: His “rooftop escapades.”

Deepest secret or wildest fantasy: “Why do you keep asking questions that you know I won't answer?”

Sense (or lack!) of humor: what makes your character laugh?
Sarcasm and TeX.

Who is your character's hero, or who do they admire or emulate?
His parents: Maria and Liam Fylan.

PHILOSOPHY & MORALITY

Attitudes toward:
- He's alright with himself. There's nothing he can change about his personality or anything, nor does he particularly care. He's okay looking, and his looks aren't really what's important to him. He'll care when the world stops caring.
- It takes a while for him to open up to new people, but that's to be expected due to the situation at hand. When he does, however, he takes to them quickly and tries to include them whenever he can.
- As long as the other's not a jerk off – “like Storm...” – he won't say no.
- Virgin. Doesn't care.
- He's afraid of it. Like, deathly afraid.
- Claudia's the only family he's seen in the last ten years, so as far as he's concerned, she's all the real family he's got. Other than The Uglies, of course. And he's pretty damn protective of his family.
- Have I mentioned that he's afraid of love?
- Hates it. Is going to change the US as well as the world if it's the last thing he ever does.
- Look above for the answer to your question.
- The only religious thing he does is wear his mom's cross around his neck.

Political philosophy:
- conservative/traditional/ liberal/radical: Pretty damn radical since he's trying to get rid of the dictatorship that currently has the world in a headlock.
- public causes supported/protested: The Uglies are Public Enemy Number One because they're trying to overrun the government and change it back to the way it was with a democracy in the US and separate governments everywhere else. I'd say that's a pretty big “protest”.
- politically active/apathetic: … He's active, alright.

Superstitions?: Neil believes in ghosts and aliens. He likes the magic he reads about in fairy tales and frequently wishes to himself to be taken away into a book.

Catchphrase that defines their world view? (examples: "What goes around comes around." "Live fast, die young, and leave a beautiful corpse." etc.): “I am not in this world to live up to other people's expectations, nor do I feel that the world should live up to mine.” -Fritz Perls.

LIFE & LIFESTYLE

Closest friend(s): The Uglies: Claudia Nike Fylan, Storm Zaal, TeX Popov, Rigel Linna, and Midori Lyon.
Job/career/occupation: Claudia is in charge of acquiring ammunition and firepower, Storm takes care of surveillance, TeX is the resident cook, Rigel handles the police buzz, and Midori works the electronics. Neil heads The Uglies and dabbles in a little of everything, though he mostly trains them in hand-to-hand combat and freerunning.
- Attitude towards job: Wouldn't ask for anything else.
Noted accomplishments: They're still alive, aren't they?
- Famous/infamous?: The Uglies are wanted in every nation in the world. I'm guessing pretty damn famous.
Clubs/organizations belonged to: … The Uglies...

Favorite music or group/favorite TV shows or films:
Favorite music genre: Electronica and rock.
Favorite music group: Mindless Self Indulgence.
Favorite TV shows: He doesn't watch any TV except for the odd news broadcast.
Favorite film: American Psycho.

Hobbies: Parkour, freerunning, guns, sparring, music.

HOW WOULD YOUR CHARACTER REACT TO...

- Inheriting $1 million: Laugh. His. Ass. Off.
- The death of a loved one: He's already dealt with that; he cried for about a week before he sucked it up and tried to act strong for Claudia.
- A natural disaster: hurricane/earthquake, etc.: He's never dealt with an earthquake, though for a hurricane – on the off chance one hit NYC – he'd find some way of keeping everyone safe.
- Being fired: Wonder what the hell happened and why everyone's suddenly taking drugs.
- Meeting an old friend or enemy not seen for years: Friend = grins. Enemies = kick to somewhere painful and then running away.
- Having or raising children: What part of “Afraid of love” are you people not getting? There's no adoption, just getting a kid from someone that died in your family, or conceiving one yourself. No one's giving Neil a kid anytime soon and he sure as hell ain't having sex anytime soon.
- Being raped/mugged/violated in some way: Either way, he would be a wreck for his entire lifetime.
- An unexpected kindness or compliment: Smile softly, thank them, and then walk away/go back to what he was doing. Though it depends on the kindness/compliment and the person who did said kindness/compliment.

- An interracial relationship: He's perfectly fine with interracial relationships.
- Five minutes on local or national TV: That's happened already. He was on the Most Wanted list.

Marta Peterson, Unposted story

Tell me about yourself. I'm Marta. I work for two men called Darran and Ian. I'm American and living in Wales, and I'm not afraid to speak my mind. I love my job, especially when my dominatrix abilities are required. That's what I love the best.

What is your most important accomplishment to date? Probably finishing my relationship with that guy I only refer to as the pig, and moving to Wales. I much prefer it in Wales to the US.

How would you describe your ideal job? I'm in my ideal job.

What goals do you have? I don't really have any goals, to be honest. I just take each day as it comes.

How do you plan to achieve these goals? N/A

How do you personally define success? When you've accomplished what you set out to do and you're proud of it.

Describe a situation in which you were successful. Finding work almost as soon as I arrived into the UK. The best thing was that it wasn't much different from my line of work that I did back in the US.

What accomplishments have given you the most satisfaction in your life? I love to watch a man squirm.

If you had to live your life over again, what one thing would you change? I wouldn't change anything. Everything happens for a reason.

Would you rather work with information or with people? People. Information is so boring, I couldn't live without human contact.

Are you a team player? I guess I am, in the sense that I need to work closely with Ian, Darran, and my two other "colleagues", because it's not legal for more than one person to sell sex, and since Ian and Darran are business partners, we have to be careful in case anybody asks.

What motivates you? I love watching men in pain. That's what motivates me, especially during sex.

Are you a goal-oriented person? No.

Tell me about some of your recent goals and what you did to achieve them. I don't really set myself goals.

What are your short-term goals? See above.

What do you see yourself doing five years from now? Hopefully still doing what I'm doing now.

Where do you want to be ten years from now? Still doing what I'm doing. I don't want to get married or start a family.

Do you handle conflict well? I am conflict.

What major problem have you had to deal with recently? I never really have problems.

Do you handle pressure well? Yes. Sometimes I can't work without pressure.

What is your greatest strength? I'm the biggest earner, by far. Cristina's just too frail and Sean only really gets demand from the gay community. I like to think I keep the business thriving.

What is your greatest weakness? My addictions.

Is money important to you? Yes.

How much money do you need to make to be happy? Enough for me to survive.

ALICE LIVE
Tell me about yourself. Well I’m a mum now, taking care of my child while looking for another band.

What is your most important accomplishment to date? Giving birth to Delilah Liv.

How would you describe your ideal job? On stage, performing – mainly singing.

What goals do you have? To find a decent guy…

How do you plan to achieve these goals? Avoid guys like Vincent Blackman.

How do you personally define success? I don’t know… I haven’t gotten there yet. I mean the whole crazy part of giving birth – now that was painful, but well worth. That’s success…

Describe a situation in which you were successful. Saying my vows to Vincent Blackman, then… I guess saying ‘no’ to him – because I knew we didn’t belong together. He just wanted the bloody sex… he’s such an ignorant cow.

What accomplishments have given you the most satisfaction in your life? You don’t want to know [smiles]

If you had to live your life over again, what one thing would you change? [laughs] Nothing; I would this all over again, maybe differently though.

Would you rather work with information or with people? Both. People have information as well.

Are you a team player? In music yeah..

What motivates you? Music. My child. Me.

Are you a goal-oriented person? I don’t think so…

Tell me about some of your recent goals and what you did to achieve them. [smiles] I got my child some clothing, because she needed them. I played at some club, and some people just gave me money.

What are your short-term goals? I don’t have any – they never stick.

What do you see yourself doing five years from now? I better be getting married [laughs] or Vincent Blackman would have to see my child, because he’s the biological father.

Where do you want to be ten years from now? Hopefully touring the world with a band.

Do you handle conflict well? No… I usually tear stuff apart. Like this one time, when I was pregnant with Delilah, I started to throw glass at Vincent Blackman because he just wanted to have sex. So no, I’m violent.

What major problem have you had to deal with recently? Vincent Blackman, and my personal life. Mainly Vincent though [smiles].

Do you handle pressure well? The last time I did that, was in high school taking the SAT test. Nope. Never took pressure well. I’m always worrying.

What is your greatest strength? Music.

What is your greatest weakness? Vincent Blackman.

What were your favorite classes? Why? I don’t go to school. But if I kept flunking, I’d say Choir and Art. I’m a very artistic person; maybe Athletics, I have a thing for some sports.

Is money important to you? Not really. Just think about it – if money never existed, less factories, less pollution. There would hardly be much harm to Global Warming. And life would be easier.

How much money do you need to make to be happy? My, my. You love money don’t you?

Dahlia:
Tell me about yourself. Well, in my earlier years, I had a pretty great life until I was raped by one of my dad's "friends." I became addicted to revenge after the same man killed my father, and my mother left me and my daughter (from the rape incident) and married again. I started to kill for money, and then the Joker and I got together, and now who knows what could happen.
What is your most important accomplishment to date? My daughter is the reason I didn't kill myself as a teenager.

"I dunno. I think it depends on what type of conflict."

What major problem have you had to deal with recently?
