But he still missed his parents and he started to looking into tornados more and more. Wanting to know what made them happen and how to stop them. Maybe he could stop a way from another family getting destroyed like his had. Even though he was only like thirteen at this time. His uncle ended up getting him into sports to keep his mind off tornados. He ended up being really good at football and basketball which was something he did love to do.

He slowly became Palmer's golden boy. Winning state championships whenever he played sports. He did well in school as well, getting the grades that he needed to stay in the sports he played and also pass. He only had one serious relationship in high school. But that ended when she decided to leave for college.

Tornados became a small obsession for him. Along with making his parents proud of course. Which was why after high school he went into the Air Forces. Becoming a pilot for them. He served a couple of tours, but when his plan got shot down everything changed. He got an honorable discard because he had gotten hurt and couldn't fly anymore.

When he got home, he thought that was it, but he trained harder to get back into the sky. Which is exactly what he did. He ended up becoming a pilot but also chases tornados whenever he can. Sometimes Silas uses his own personal plane to chase the tornados. Other times, he is flying for the local airline.

BIOGRAPHY: (tw: drugs, abuse, pregnancy)

Coming from nothing was exactly where Joey came from, born on the wrong side of the tracks in Holland. Her father had ditched them when she was three years old, so her mother worked three jobs just to make sure that they had a roof over their heads. When she was seven years old, Josephine seen her mother shooting something into her arm, later she found out that it was cocaine. During her childhood, she was mainly left to fend for herself while her mother was working or coming down from her high. He older brother was already out of the house and on his own at this point but he still checked in whenever he could.

So Joey learned how to do things on her own, like wash her clothes, use the stove. She swore to herself whenever she was ten years old that she would never end up like her mother or father where ever he was. Doing her best that she could, child services found out about Joey’s mothers drug problem and thats when they took her away. She was in the system for about two weeks before her brother got her, but then her mother cleaned up her act and got her back two years later.

When she got back into her mothers care, she thought that things would change but they hadn’t. it had all been for show, but of course the drugs lessened and her mother got a boyfriend. But he wasn’t exactly a good guy, yes he had a job at the local gas station, while her mother was still a waitress, but he did import weed for some people. That was the first time at the age of fifteen that Josephine, ever got her hands on some drugs. She stole them from her mothers boyfriend, wanting to try out some weed herself. She smoked it and thats when she became a small addict to it. It was better than that stuff her mother still shot into her arm. Or at least she thought so.

Josephine did the best she could in school, pulling solid C’s and D’s and sometimes she pull off B’s. It just depended on if she studied or not. Her mothers boyfriend soon discovered that some of his weed had gone missing and of course he went after Joey’s mother for it. Beating the crap out of her, during the beating Josephine stood up to him, and told him it was her and then he went to hit her and thats when she punched him. In shock the man left and Josephine got her mother to the hospital who told them that she had fell. Of course in fear of being taken away again, Joey backed up her story.

Soon enough, she graduated even though she wasn’t at the top of her class, she still did well enough to graduate. Making a decision to travel, Josephine left one day without so much as a goodbye to her mother. While she was traveling, she made her way down south heading to Florida. It was there that she met a man by the name of Robert Jackson, he had money and a lot of it. She thought he was the one and he was going to take care of her.

But that came with a steep price. The two of them ended up arguing all the time and there were times that he would hit her, so she would hit him back. Of course he would always make it up to her, just like she would with him. This went on for five years.

Recently, it got bad really bad. Joey had found out she was pregnant and instead of aiming for her stomach like he usually would, he ended up just bruising up her face. So she cleaned herself up and the house after he was passed out. Took everything that she possible could besides the clothes on her back. Including over a thousand dollars from his wallet. She had been in contact with her brother, who lived in Palmer, turning up on his doorstep with a bruised face and pregnant. He helped her by offering his spare bedroom. She decided to go back to school and got a job at the local casino.

POSITIVE TRAITS: Compassionate, friendly, charismatic.

Caroline was born an only child in Kent, UK to two parents who loved her very much and always encouraged her passion for music. Especially since it was the only thing she seemed consistently passionate about. All her other interests came and went just as quickly. This all made sense when she was diagnosed with ADHD in her late teens.

She ended up going to university to study music, and opted to do a year abroad in New York, and even spent a summer taking a road trip through the country. She loved it so much, she decided to move back to the States after she finished her final year in England.

There, she settled upstate in New York and commuted to the city every day to work in the pit at several Broadway shows. She wasn’t a big fan of musicals beforehand, but her job gave her a newfound appreciation for them. She worked on Mean Girls, Wicked and Six.

While working in the pit at Wicked, she found herself falling for the actor playing Fiyero. He was from a rich family and they clearly bought his career for him, but she didn’t really mind that. She loved his charm.

Then he got her pregnant. And promised to stick around.

After giving birth to her son, Jonathan, the fighting started. He didn’t support her as much as he promised and he got defensive whenever she broached the topic. Eventually, he left her all together.

Naturally, Caroline milked all the child support she could get from him and decided to start anew in Palmer. She decided to open a music store, and enjoyed being able to focus on music she enjoyed. She got a dog, made some friends. Loved her son with everything inside of her. Built a new life.
