[ricketts]

I've never prayed
But tonight I'm on my knees,
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

Character’s greatest joy in life: Getting out of Ireland.
Character’s greatest fear: His mind.
Why? Henry's mind is very dangerous. He can't tame it and he can't control what it does. It can turn his behaviour in an instant - from being relaxed, to be anxious, to suddenly being frightened of everything around him. An unfortunate side-effect of schizophrenia.

Greatest vulnerability or weakness: The subject of himself. Will lie continuously about where he grew up and how he was raised.

Minor accomplishment: Getting a job and bringing in some money.
Past failures he/she would be embarrassed to have people know about: Henry doesn't like anyone to know anything about him. There is nothing that is good to know. If anyone managed to dig up on him, he couldn't be embarrassed. He'd be horrified.
Why? Being a murderous mental patient on record isn't something to be passed around.

[/color]

Reason for nickname: It's one less syllable to pronounce. She needs aliases to protect herself.
Birth date: July 23rd, 1992

Physical Appearance

Age:17
How old does he/she appear: About the same age, sometimes younger because she's so thin, but her eyes seem too old for her body.

Height: 5 ft. 5 in.
Body build: Skeletal. She's naturally thin, but she's malnourished, too.
Shape of face: Heart-shaped with a rounded chin.
Eye color: Dark brown
Glasses or contacts: She doesn't need them, but even if she did she wouldn't be able to afford them.
Skin tone: Pale
Distinguishing marks: Bright, full lips that seem out of place on her face and a long scar that stretches from her right breast to her left collarbone.
Predominant features:
Hair color: Dark brown, almost black.
Type of hair: Long and thick
Hairstyle: She almost always wears her hair loose under some sort of hat.
Voice: She has a strange half-French, half-Downstate accent that can be difficult to understand. She speaks in her throat so it sounds scratchy and low sometimes.

Physical disabilities: None
Usual fashion of dress: Worn clothing that she got from the thrift store. Sometimes they are threadbare and baggy. If she had the means, she would dress very nicely, because under it all she does have a sense of fashion. She always has a hat on if one is available. In fact, she would have a hat before she would have shoes. It's a fetish of hers.
Favourite outfit: Whatever she happens to be wearing.
Jewelry or accessories: Odd and end bracelets she picks up. Sometimes she'll make her own necklace out of an intriguing piece of scrap she found.

What single event would most throw this character’s life into complete turmoil? Her father getting out of prison.
Character is most at ease when: She's found a place to crash and she's got some money in her pocket.
Most ill at ease when: Anywhere even remotely close to Kings.

Priorities: Surviving. That's about it.
Life philosophy: You've gotta go what you've gotta do.
If granted one wish, it would be: To be a regular, middle-class New Yorker.
Why? She doesn't want any grand things, but she wants to be comfortable. She wants to have normal, non-criminal parents, all of her siblings in one house, and an actual house to live in. She would want to go to school, too, if she knew what she was missing.

How the character plans to accomplish these goals: She needs to develop some skills that will get her a decent-paying job, and she'll work her way up from there.
How other characters will be affected: Unknown. Perhaps she'll take Zel with her.

[philosopher]

THIS LOOKS LIKE A CHARACTER CHART! YEEAH!

Character’s full name: Sherlock Holmes.
Reason or meaning of name: An uncommon name for a man of Old English origin, meaning 'bright hair'. Funny that how Sherlock has not-so bright hair.
Character’s nickname: There have been many epithets thrown Holme's way during his professional career, might not be a good idea to list some of them. Naughtiness.
Reason for nickname: Mixed reasons.
Birth date: 6th January 1980.

THIS IS WHERE YOU FIND OUT WHAT I LOOK LIKE!

Age: Thirty.
Weight: 165lb. His skinniness is more than likely down to that he prefers drinking/smoking over eating.

Hair color: Brown - abit darker at the roots.
Type of hair: Gummed up with hair wax.

Voice: Easily excited, British accent.
Overall attractiveness: If skinny, over the top British detective is what floats your boat, then consider him attractive.

Usual fashion of dress: Sharp-cut box coats, ties, pin-stripes, red converse. Sharp as a tac.
Favourite outfit: That coat is like an old friend.
Jewelry or accessories: Aside from the intermittent glasses, none.

WHY AM I SHOUTING?

Good personality traits: Very clever and observant. Brave, and willing to rough it in order to get a job done.

Character’s greatest joy in life: Raising above the likes of the police force and becoming one of the most highly sought after detectives.

Why? A stone can't fall in love.
Character’s soft spot: Irene Adler.
Is this soft spot obvious to others? No, only Watson observes this.
Greatest strength: His brilliant mind and ability to draw large conclusions from tiny observations.
Greatest vulnerability or weakness: When it turns he has no case to solve, Holmes slips into a degenerative state where he will spend endless amounts of time in his apartment. It often ends in him injecting drug substances and lamenting over past regrets.

Minor regret: Getting into bad spending habits.
Biggest accomplishment: Surviving a life-or-death battle against criminal mastermind Prof. James Moriarty, and putting behind bars.
Minor accomplishment: Saving the lives of two girls from their step-father who tried to sick a snake onto them.
Past failures he/she would be embarrassed to have people know about: Some years back a young girl died because Holmes - who had been dispatched to discover the murderer, allowed himself to become distracted by none other than a woman.
Why? Failure is something Holmes is unable to absorb.
Character’s darkest secret: He never stopped loving Irene Adler.
Does anyone else know? Watson.

I'M GOING TO COME IN WITH A BIG WOODEN SPOON AND STIR THINGS UP!

How the character plans to accomplish these goals: With his glasses on and shoes laced up tight.

[RICHARD PLANTAGENET]

Character Chart

Character’s full name: Richard Plantagenet
Reason or meaning of name: Richard derives from the Germanic elements "ric" (ruler, leader, king) and "hard" (strong, brave, court), therefore it means 'powerful leader' as well as 'King's Court'. Plantagenet; from Old French, literally: sprig of broom, with reference to the crest of the Angevin kings, from Latin planta sprig and genista broom.
Character’s nickname: Ricky
Reason for nickname: His brothers tend to call him the name, if only to annoy him as he despises name shortening
Birth date: 2nd of October 1962

Physical appearance
Age: 48
How old does he/she appear: A few years older than he actually is
Weight: More towards the thin side, but with some muscle
Height: Quite short for his age; five foot six
Body build: Ill-shapen and out of proportion
Shape of face: Quite square, pronounced jaw
Eye color: Grey
Glasses or contacts: Glasses
Skin tone: Very pale due to his susceptibility to illness
Distinguishing marks: None
Predominant features: Pointed nose, withered arm, limp
Hair color: Grey
Type of hair: Used to be quite thick and somewhat glossy, now somewhat wispy and thin due to his age, although he keeps it well groomed
Hairstyle: Neatly combed
Voice: Depends on his mood and the situation. Can change from silken and flattering to fearsome and vicious in a split second. Is prone to hissing, especially when angered.
Overall attractiveness: On a scale of one to ten, he'd probably be about a three or a four. His physical deformities make him somewhat lacking in tems of physical appearance, but his charisma and his ability to change personality in the blink of an eye...this can sometimes overshadow that.
Physical disabilities: A withered left arm and a left leg with a limp, quite poor eyesight
Usual fashion of dress: Very smart, well dressed, presentable
Favourite outfit: A black or grey suit with a red tie
Jewelry or accessories: Tends to wear his aviators in an attempt to hide his face from the public, generally wanting to remain alone

Personality
Good personality traits: Determination, shrewdness, courage
Bad personality traits: Duplicitousness, cunning, pride, ambition
Mood character is most often in: Irritable
Sense of humour: Sarcastic
Character’s greatest joy in life: Gaining power
Character’s greatest fear: Himself
Why? When he considers just how far he plans to go to gain power, when he truly reflects on that, his grasping ambition has the power to unsettle him.
What single event would most throw this character’s life into complete turmoil? Having the plans he's been carefully concocting for years be discovered and fail completely. Either that or, having at last gained power, to be ousted from it.
Character is most at ease when: In a situation in which he has the upper hand
Most ill at ease when: He thinks someone has found out or figured out, whether fully or partially, about his plans
Enraged when: He is challenged or questioned in his plans and motives; he know's what he's doing and no-one else will tell him otherwise
Depressed or sad when: He wallows in self pity
Priorities: Gaining power, at any cost
Life philosophy: I am myself alone.
If granted one wish, it would be: To have no-one ever discover what he's done/will do to get to the top
Why? If his wish was to be at the top, he wouldn't have the fun of carrying out his plans to get there! It would be best if no-one discovered them, so he could have his fun and still get the top spot
Character’s soft spot: Richard hates to admit it, but if someone shows him genuine admiration, respect and/or affection he will most likely try to stick to them like glue.
Is this soft spot obvious to others? Not really
Greatest strength: His ability to dissemble
Greatest vulnerability or weakness: His pride and ambition
Biggest regret: Richard likes to claim he has no regrets and that he lacks a conscience...whether this rings true or not may soon be discovered
Minor regret: Despite this, he does regret heading that scouting mission during the Gulf War; it cost him the normal use of his left leg and gave him a seemingly permanent limp
Biggest accomplishment: Yet to come...
Minor accomplishment: The successful undetected murders of Edward d'Anjou and his father (undetected as in Richard was never revealed as the killer, except to his brother Edward who allowed the deed to go ahead)
Past failures he/she would be embarrassed to have people know about: His attempts to woo Anne Lancaster when they were both at university.
Why? Having that get out would be awkward. Besides, Richard isn't a man to admit to failure...and now Edward d'Anjou's gone he has a chance to try again.
Character’s darkest secret: Richard has a few. XD The fact that he murdered Edward and Henry...and the fact he's plotting to murder his older brother Edward and discredit his other brother, George, to claim mayoralty of New York
Does anyone else know? Edward Plantagenet knows about the murders of d'Anjou and his father...but not the plot to kill him. That would be inconvenient.

Goals
Drives and motivations: Getting revenge on those who've wronged him, proving that despite his setbacks he can still accomplish his goals
Immediate goals: Ousting his brother Edward from power (read: murder), becoming Mayor of New York
Long term goals: Win Anne Lancaster back and (hopefully) persuade her to marry him
How the character plans to accomplish these goals: Plots to kill off Edward are already well underway and in action. Once Edward's dead he hopes to discredit his other brother, George, so he has a better chance of winning the mayoral election. He's been planning his campaign in secret for some time now. As for winning the heart of Anne Lancaster, he already has her in the palm of his hand as he's helping her raise her child...and he always wants something from her in return. Who knows where that will lead?
How other characters will be affected: When Richard becomes Mayor he plans to make some big changes to the city, so it is likely that all characters will be affected by this. Edward will die as part of Richard's plans and, if George ever discovers anything, he may suffer the same fate. Anne Lancaster will most likely become even more emotionally traumatized than she already is. =P

Past
Hometown: Yorkshire, England (although he spent a lot of time in and around London)
Type of childhood: Pleasant only in the monetary sense. Despite the fact he had some good years at Middleham under the tutelage of Richard Neville, the rest of the time he had to endure Edward and George, not to mention his mother's rejection of him
Pets: None. Edward did have a dog at one point, which Richard hated (it barked whenever he went near it or it him, which drove him crazy).
First memory: Being picked on by Edward
Most important childhood memory: Playing 'war' with Francis Lovell
Why: Despite the fact that it was just a game, the fact that Richard always won and was able to exert power over someone, even in a make believe situation, influenced his decisions and goals in later life.
Childhood hero: Richard Neville, his warlike tutor
Dream job: Mayor of New York
Education: Tutored as a child, attended university when older
Religion: Christian, very devout
Finances: The richest of the rich

Present
Current location: The Plantagenet Manor, near to City Hall, New York
Currently living with: His mother and two older brothers
Pets: None
Religion: Christian, although he rarely attends church
Occupation: Comptroller of New York
Finances: The richest of the rich, still.

Family
Mother: Cecily Plantagenet
Relationship with her: Terrible. When Richard was born it was as though his mother didn't care whether he lived or died, lavishing her attention on Edward and George instead. Not to mention she completely forgot his tenth birthday.
Father: Richard Plantagenet
Relationship with him: He died the same year Richard was born, so Richard never had a chance to know him.
Siblings: Edward and George
Relationship with them: Edward and Richard have never got on; Edward always teased him as a child and was heartily praised for anything he achieved by his mother (and delightedly in lording this over Richard). When Richard returned from the Gulf War on crutches, Edward, an irritating child at heart, took delight in 'accidentally' bumping into him to see how he'd react. Edward and Richard not only don't get on personally but also politically; their opinions on all sorts of matters tend to lead to conflict.
George was different to Edward in that he wasn't as prone to teasing and taunting, as he was of a much kinder and sympathetic nature. However he always seemed to skirt around Richard, as if afraid going near him would somehow cause his younger brother injury.
Spouse: None...yet.
Relationship with him/her: N/A
Children: None
Relationship with them: N/A
Other important family members: A few of his cousins on his mother's side hold positions in New York City's government

How he/she would spend a rainy day: Inside with a good book and some classical music
Spending habits: Quite frugal considering the amount of money he has and his position

What does he/she do too little of? Relaxing
Extremely skilled at: Manipulating other people and situations for his own ends
Extremely unskilled at: Keeping his temper in check, especially when it comes to his brothers
Nervous tics: When he gets angry he tends the clench his good hand into a fist.
Usual body posture: Somewhat bent and lopsided, although he does his best to always stand tall and proud

Peculiarities: Can change from 'friendly' to furious in the blink of an eye

[MAJOR WIP]

Character Chart

Character’s full name: Benvolio Montague

Reason or meaning of name: "Benvolio" means goodwill or well wisher.

Character’s nickname: Ben, assorted others

Reason for nickname: Ben is obvious. Most of the others stem from inside jokes, are diminutives thought up by his sisters, or are slightly mocking things like "worry-wart."

Birth date: April 12

Physical appearance

Age: 22

How old does he appear: It depends. If he's smiling, he looks his age. If he's frowning, creasing his forehead, or any other of his myriad habits, he looks rather older.

Weight: 146 pounds

Height: 5'11''

Body build: Skinny

Shape of face: Somewhere between oval and heart-shaped

Eye color: Green

Glasses or contacts: Both, usually contacts. His glasses, when he does wear them, have frames that are rectangular, black, and plastic.

Skin tone: Between pale and tan, leaning towards tan.

Distinguishing marks: A pierced ear, usually adorned with a simple silver stud

Predominant features: His eyes are big, and tend to remind people of a puppy

Hair color: Light brown naturally, but it changes often. The most outrageous color it's been was pink and blue stripes, when he woke up one morning in college to find that he had had it done while he was drunk the previous night. His alcohol consumption has dropped dramatically since then.

Type of hair: Thick and unruly

Hairstyle: Unless he uses copious amounts of gel, it just sort of flops all over the place. If he does use gel, he’ll either slick it back or spike it up.

Voice: Soft and moderately low-pitched. If he’s overexcited, it might get very high for a word or two, but that’s unusual.

Overall attractiveness: Very, but he doesn’t think so.

Physical disabilities: None

Usual fashion of dress: ’’Business casual” is a staple of his wardrobe, along with the occasional suit. If he does wear a t-shirt, it will be a silk one of impeccable quality; if he wears jeans, they are designer ones his mother or sister Bianca bought for him. All in all, Ben prefers not to think much about what he wears, so he likes to go with what works. His one love in the fashion world is rather silly: he really likes fun socks.

Favourite outfit: Light blue collared shirt, dark slacks, loafers, and lucky socks with little taxis on them.

Jewelry or accessories: His earring, and a watch he won in a bet on a superbowl game. (He set his watch- a cheap knock-off- against the watch of one of his father’s business contact’s son’s watches- a several-thousand-dollar original.)

Harry "Hamlet" Chandler



"How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable
Seem to me all the uses of this world"

[/color][/font][/center]

Character’s full name: Harry Chandler
Reason or meaning of name: Harry means "home ruler", since he is supposed to be "the prince." And admittedly I think a part of me kind of snatched Henry V's nickname
Character’s nickname: the prince, prince "Hamlet" in jest
Reason for nickname: because he was meant to be heir of the company
Birth date: August 12, 1981

Physical appearance
Age: 29
How old does he/she appear: 29
Height: 5'9
Body build: Fit, athletic
Shape of face: I can't decide if it's triangle or square...maybe more on the triangle side.
Eye color: greyish blue
Glasses or contacts: none
Skin tone: fair
Distinguishing marks: None
Predominant features: Captivating eyes, angular jaw line, other than that, not much.
Hair color: brown
Type of hair: average, soft and well kept
Hairstyle: he usually sports a jagged cut with messy bangs, giving him a young boyish look. At work, he sometimes combs the bangs to the side or back.
Voice: Pretty smooth and deep (average kind of deep, not like barry white )
Overall attractiveness: On my scale? VERY attractive lol
Physical disabilities: None
Usual fashion of dress: He is very fashionable and upstanding. You will most likely see him in a suit or semi-casual wear. For instance, he might where a pair of black slacks and a nice shirt. He loves jackets, so you'll probably see him in a fashionable jacket as well. He might wear a hat once in a while if the mood suits him. He's a very professional guy for the most part.
Favourite outfit: He likes the color black, so black shirt and jacket is something you might see him in often.
Jewelry or accessories: He doesn't usually wear jewelry often but definitely carries a pair of sunglasses.

Personality

Good personality traits: Passionate, smart, calculating, great actor and admirer of the arts, generous and kind when he wants to be.
Bad personality traits: Snarky, sarcastic, procrastinator, over-thinking, indecisive, he tends to latch on to things (Ophelia, alcohol) to relieve his troubles
Mood character is most often in: Sarcastic, depressed, angry, annoyed
Sense of humour: ...sarcastic, dead-pan
Character’s greatest joy in life: Ophelia
Character’s greatest fear: Death and not making his father proud
Why? Ever since his father's death, he feels that his turn is next. Even though he doesn't exactly love life at the moment, he still wants to live and not face the unknown, not face where ever he'll end up for eternity, not face a lot of things involving...closure.
What single event would most throw this character’s life into complete turmoil? It already happened...finding out that his uncle murdered his father, and now is doing what ever he wants to his company.
Character is most at ease when: He's with Ophelia.
Most ill at ease when: He's by himself, around the Chandler household, or anywhere where he has to put on an act. When he's by himself, it gives him time to think about things, and reminds him of things he doesnt want to be reminded of.
Enraged when: His father's legacy is threatened.
Depressed or sad when: His father's legacy is threatened and also when he feels hopeless and unproductive.
Priorities: Keeping his father's legacy and eventually avenging him.
Life philosophy: As of now, the world and everything in it has lost its value, especially after the wrong that was done to him. So in a sense, he's indecisive about his life philosophy.
If granted one wish, it would be: For his uncle to pay, and for his father to live.
Why? mmm obvious reasons
Character’s soft spot: Ophelia, the arts, his father
Is this soft spot obvious to others? I think so, he pretty much announces it outright.
Greatest strength: He's a really good actor and planner.
Greatest vulnerability or weakness: Indecisive and passionate
Biggest regret: Waiting too long to act on things
Minor regret: Bringing Ophelia into his life of troubles
Biggest accomplishment: His work with production companies
Minor accomplishment: Probably related to his work with production companies
Past failures he/she would be embarrassed to have people know about: his general alcohol problem
Why? He's kept it from Ophelia this long, he doesnt want her to know.
Character’s darkest secret: He thinks he's actually crazy because he's seen his dead father and is convinced he needs to make his uncle pay for his death.
Does anyone else know? His best friend Horatio.

Goals

Drives and motivations: What motivates him...urgency and people he cares about. Justice.
Immediate goals: Loving Ophelia. Keeping everyone fooled into thinking he's crazy.
Long term goals: Avenging his father.
How the character plans to accomplish these goals: He's going to spend time with Ophelia and try to convince her of his love for her. He's going to use his acting skills to play crazy...and by doing that, he'll be able to blind side people into thinking he's no threat. Thereby keeping the focus off his plans to enact revenge on Claudius. Also, its a calculation on his part to be able to "get off easy" if he is convinced to murder Claudius (to plead insanity instead of guilty).
But also its just another way to procrastinate on what he really needs to do.
How other characters will be affected: Lots of relationships will be jeopardized, most importantly, his relationship with Ophelia.

Past

Type of childhood: Pretty tame and uneventful. He was well provided for.
Pets: The Chandler household has a cat named Denny, but Harry doesn't have any major attachment to it.
First memory: Probably his father playing toss with him.

Education: some graduate school
Religion: Christian, his father loosely tried to instill those values in him
Finances: Very wealthy

Present
Current location: Chandler mansion
Currently living with: The family, but he has his own small home in Manhattan. He thought it would keep him sane, but living on his own, having ample amount of time to think and calculate, didn't exactly make him feel any better.
Pets: Still Denny
Religion: Still Christian, but definitely not devoted.
Occupation: Financial advisor/manager for theater production companies, with his own separate company stationed under Hamlet Enterprises.
Finances: Still very wealthy

Family

Mother: "Gertrude"

Children: None

Does anyone else know? No.

Personality

Good personality traits: Independent, strong, street smart, daring
Bad personality traits: reckless, rebellious, rude, vulgar, daring
Mood character is most often in: Mix between indifference and anger
Sense of humour:vulgar, bullying
Character’s greatest joy in life: There hasn't been that many moments of joy, but moments when he can hang out with the guys, just smoking and drinking and having a good time, causing a bit of ruckus when they want to...those are the moments he enjoys.
Character’s greatest fear: That something terrible happens to the people he *really* cares about it
Why?Because he doesn't get attached to people easily. Those people he actually gives a damn about are the only people he's got. He doesnt have much, and often choses not to have much, by way of support of any kind. To lose what little he has would be devastating.
What single event would most throw this character’s life into complete turmoil? Losing any of the greaser gang for good, but especially...*especially*...losing Johnny Cade.
Character is most at ease when: He's smoking or drinking.
Most ill at ease when: He's in deep trouble with the law. He really doesn't want to go back to jail.
Enraged when: Socs or anyone tries to mess with him or threaten him.
Depressed or sad when:When he thinks about his parents, but even when he talks about them, no one can really tell that he's beat up about it. He keeps that to himself.
Priorities: Have as much fun as possible without getting thrown in jail. He doesn't exactly have a 'future' as far as he's concerned.
Life philosophy: "Watch out for yourself and nothing can touch you."
Why? Because he finds that helping other people and worrying about everyone else just doesn't pay. The world is cut throat, and from his experience no one really cares about him or if he ends up dead or alive, so he has no reason to care about anyone else but himself. Worrying about everyone else, especially in the neighborhood he lives in, will get you messed up.
Character’s soft spot: Johnny Cade or anyone he feels he can truly relate to.
Is this soft spot obvious to others? Yes.
Greatest strength: Street smarts and toughness.
Greatest vulnerability or weakness: Recklessness, Johnny Cade and the other Greasers.
Biggest regret: Nothing really except landing himself in jail.
Minor regret: Above.
Biggest accomplishment: His very impressive criminal record
Minor accomplishment: His infamous reputation
Past failures he/she would be embarrassed to have people know about: People outside of the Windrixville circle (the gangs he used to roll with before his jail sentence) finding out about exactly how protective he was of the Greasers.
Why? He really wants to keep up his badass reputation as much as possible. For some of the tough guys he hangs out with to know that he had some form of a 'family' in the Curtis boys and the other Greasers would make a smudge in his record.
Character’s darkest secret: He's done some crazy crazy stuff in his 3 year rampage of NYC before being jailed. He's seen people get killed, and of course, his gun possession got him in the slammer. People have spread rumors that he's a murderer, which he doesn't mind. He was never involved in a murder directly but sometimes he got caught up way too deep. He loved the attention it got him but for some reason, he doesn't want to talk much about it with the other Greasers.
Does anyone else know? Somewhat, yes.
