Gavin
- Gender:
- Male
- Age:
- 16
- Orientation:
- Homosexual
Birthday: April 12th × Eyes: brown × Hair: blonde × Height (as of April 12th): 5’1” × ○ ○ ○ Raised a devout Catholic, he sometimes loathes even himself when thoughts arise about his sexuality crisis. Nowadays it seems the only person able to distract him from that is the very person that swayed him so severely in the first place. His thoughts of Nate and his feelings for him are complicated, and he has a mixture of pure hatred and wanting for him. His thoughts are so contradictory that even sometimes he takes a moment to step back and assess them before scolding himself (or just hate himself even more). He’s bullied not only for the fact that he looks different, but because he “thinks” differently as well. This has brought him to have such a strong loathing for his peers that it threatens his very existence briefly from time to time. His depression and physical condition (after any sort of altercation with Nate) go unnoticed by his parents, and sometimes he finds himself too tired of everything to bother doing anything. The only person that can make him happy is his best friend Christian, but an outside force can only do so much when the victim himself is unsure of his own desire for change.

Nate
- Gender:
- Male
- Age:
- 17
- Orientation:
- Bisexual
Birthday: November 18th × Eyes: green × Hair: brown × Height: 6’3” ○ ○ ○ The epitome of a well-kept secret. A boy whose mind changes as quickly as his emotions (which change pretty damn fast). He could want Gavin’s company one minute and push him away the next, hold him sickeningly close or slam a fist sharply into his stomach. Ask him what’s wrong or call him a faggot the next. Popularity due to being on the varsity baseball team, none of his friends or peers know of his violent actions other than the occasional name calling or shoving into lockers. He has a sick sort of attraction to Gavin, and occasionally he slips up at school and surprises his peers by preferring his company. During school projects, he falsely claims that Gavin is the smartest in the class just to partner up with him, when in fact it’s him that is. However, instead of doing actual work, he prefers to do things with Gavin that convinces him that there may be something there. What that something is is what Gavin allows his thoughts to explore once in a great while. His sexuality is currently in question, but Gavin likes to think he’s bisexual at the least. When alone, he wants nothing more than Gavin, but when in public, he’s a notorious womanizer. He realizes how much this bothers Gavin, but in reality, doesn’t give a damn.

Christian
- Gender:
- Male
- Age:
- 17
- Orientation:
- Straight
Birthday: October 23rd × Eyes: blue × Hair: black × Height: 6’1” ○ ○ ○ Gavin’s best friend since he can remember, a boy that lives down the street that his parents aren’t too fond of. Christian wants nothing more than to help Gavin out of the situation he’s in and loathes Nate with such a passion that he’s willing to go to hell and back just to do it. Heterosexual, Gavin sometimes thinks that his sexuality may be something else due to the way they occasionally carry on. However, he feels foolish and stupid because of it. It’s just harmless banter. Christian wears enough bracelets to force his skinny arms at his sides just to cover up the constant reminder that he’s not okay, that he’s not happy, that, like Gavin, nothing seems to go his way. Whether or not people realize just what he’s hiding, Christian refuses to answer questions. Up to the present, not one person has seen what the bracelets cover, and Gavin can only pray that he will. Sometimes Gavin is afraid that one day, Christian may go too far.
