[wrenparikh]

Oh them? Yeah, that’s WREN PARIKH. They’re SEVENTEEN, which would make them a JUNIOR. I think they got into Silver Oak Academy for being RICH AND TALENTED, and come from VANCOUVER, CANADA. Honestly, they’re kind of CRITICAL and ENVIOUS, but FORTHRIGHT and RATIONAL too. Did you know they’re hiding that HE'S JEALOUS OF HIS TWIN SISTER BECAUSE SHE'S THE FAVORITE? If you ask me, they look a little like AVAN JOGIA. 

heyyyy its ya girl kenna here w yet another character wow i never know when to quit lmao  

ok sooo his family is kinda Big in hollywood. his mother is an actress and his father is a screenwriter & director. his older half-sister is an actress, he doesn’t know very well since she grew up with her mother but she chose to use her father’s last name to further her career. he and his twin sister are still fairly unknown but she has made it clear that she plans to follow in their parents’ footsteps. 

wren has more of a passion for music. he’s not a singer but he does know how to play the guitar and the drums. despite not being a singer, he is a songwriter and has written a few.

out of the two of them, his twin is definitely the favorite. he pretends that he doesn’t care but it does hurt at times. they had mutual friends growing up but he always felt that they all preferred her (it was really just him assuming that everyone liked her better because his parents did).

he and his sister started a band a few years ago. he played the guitar, she was the lead singer, and then one of their other friends was the drummer. but she eventually decided that she’d rather focus on her acting career and quit. this is around the time that he decided that he wanted to go to school somewhere else. 

he chose silver oak because he had a friend (hmu if you want your chara to be that friend) who attended. the idea was he’d be somewhere he could make his own friends and no one would even know his sister.

i would love-love-love-love for someone to play his sister!!! i would prefer her fc to be naomi scott but we can definitely discuss it if you have someone else in mind. she’d be new-ish, recently attending in an attempt to get closer to wren again.

i’m really down for anything connection-wise. exes, friends, enemies, etc. 

i like the idea of him starting a new band while he’s here so... if you want your character to be in it definitely hmu!!

Oh them? Yeah, that’s ROMAN BERLING. They’re SIXTEEN, which would make them a JUNIOR. I think they got into Silver Oak Academy for being RICH AND TALENTED, and come from ATHERTON, CALIFORNIA. Honestly, they’re kind of MANIPULATIVE and BLUNT, but DISCIPLINED and LOYAL too. Did you know they’re hiding that THEIR FAMILY’S APART OF A CULT? If you ask me, they look a little like HAILEY BALDWIN. (qiqi/est/16/she)

Wherever you go, a label will be put to your face. Roman Berling loved hers. Her label was always “the princess”, and it helped that her family was treated like royalty. It also helped that she lived in the wealthiest town in California, which was Atherton. Seeing the people at Menlo lick the floor she walked on was always a joy, and being coddled by the faculty was a treat, too. She wasn’t into athletics as much as her older brother, Elio, was but she joined the varsity swim team in her freshman and sophomore year. She also took apart of the most prestigious ballet school in California, the San Francisco Ballet School. It just sucks that she couldn’t stay passed her sophomore year.

Roman, Elio, and their parents, Celia and Sebastian, moved to Boston after her father got relocated to the city. Her mother is the CEO of IBM, and her dad is a successful attorney for Apple, which has made life easy for Roman. Despite their busy lives, her parents have always made room for their children, even if they had a little help from their hired assistants. From Menlo to her new school, Silver Oak Academy, she doesn’t expect much change. She hopes her personality won’t change (too much), and she’s not really fond of making friends with people from Boston. She doesn’t see herself as an elitist (deep down, she is), but the east coast is very different from the west, and she thinks that her personality just won’t vibe with the others.

Roman’s life seems like a field of daisies, but there’s a terrifying abyss underneath it all. Roman’s family, along with other influential families in North America, like the Baxters in Washington, the Barringtons in Vancouver, and the Dandridges in Austin, are apart of a cult. Well, it isn’t the kids, only the parents. While searching for her birth certificate in her father’s study before school for her driving test, she came across tons of files exposing the hard-to-decipher plans, details, and people involved in the continent-wide cult. Ever since that morning, she couldn’t look at her parents, or her family friends, the same. She keeps the fact in the back of her mind, and attempts to block it out, but it slips through sometimes. She keeps her mind filled with ballet and school to stray away from her haunting family secret.

She has her eyes set on MIT for industrial engineering, studying hard and keeping her resume fulfilled. Her ballet career will continue to flourish at the Boston Ballet School. When it comes to relationships, she plans on letting the wind take her wherever it wants. And most importantly, she will not be stepped on by anyone, and if she is…well, pointe shoes jab deeper.

Honestly, she's kind of HEDONISTIC and MOODY but CHARMING and CONFIDENT too. Did you know she's hiding that SHE'S BEEN DANCING AT STRIP CLUBS IN ORDER TO AFFORD SCHOOL? If you ask me, she looks a little like MADELAINE PETSCH. (aliyah/mst/19/she/her)

history

Anabella grew up as an only child in Seattle, Washington with both her mother and her father. Both of them worked a lot, and most nights she was left to make her own dinner. She understood, of course, as they had to work so much to afford the roof over her head and the food on her plate. When her father wasn’t at work, Arabella suspected he was with his mistress. When mom wasn’t working, well, she was passed out after popping one too many pills. Arabella never took it personally; this may have made her cold and resentful, but it made her strong, too.

Once Bella reached the age of eighteen (during her junior year, seeing as she’d skipped the third grade), she auditioned at her first club as an exotic dancer and was hired on the spot. This launched her narcissism into overdrive. She began making more cash than she’d ever even seen in person. She was smart with her money - treating herself but putting most of it away. She had to get away from her parents. It was her dream to attend Silver Oak Academy, a prestigious high school in Boston. It would look marvelous on her college applications, right next to her 4.3 GPA (thank you AP classes!) and countless charitable acts.

Arabella applied to Silver Oak the second she saved up enough money to attend. She convinced her parents she was receiving a grant of some sort and they bought it - or they were too busy to question it. Now, with Bella attending an overly-snotty boarding school, she has to keep her extremely non-conservative secret under wraps. Only a few students know, close friends, or people who have walked into her new Boston club - The Glass Slipper - and spotted her before she could hide out in the dressing room. If her secret is even whispered near an administrator, her dreams will stay just that - dreams. Oh, and the thought of moving back in with mom and dad? Yikes. Can’t keep that type of secret for long..

[kaidenrobinson]

Oh them? Yeah, that’s KAIDEN ROBINSON. They’re SEVENTEEN, which would make them a JUNIOR. I think they got into Silver Oak Academy for being TALENTED, and come from PHOENIX. Honestly, they’re kind of INDECISIVE and WEAK WILLED but IDEALISTIC and EASY GOING too. Did you know they’re hiding that HE WAS HIS PARENTS'S REPLACEMENT CHILD? If you ask me, they look a little like KEIYNAN LONSDALE. 

eyyyy it’s me ya girl with my boy kaiden!!! 

im gonna explain his secret more first bc i feel like... it doesn’t make sense but basically the year before he was born, his parents lost his older brother in a fire. and although it’s never been said, he feels at times as if he’s just a replacement. part of this is because his parents had never even really told him about his brother, not even when he got old enough to understand what happened and why he’d never met him.

he’s been at silver oak since his freshman year so yanno... assume connections... give him friends

he believes in the paranormal. and tbh i’d love for him to have like a Squad that he goes on road trips w during the summer to different haunted places & towns where there have been cryptid sightings.

he’s in drama club, music club, president of the lgbtqia+ club, & is the historian! (so if any of your characters are in those clubs hmu and we can plot connections)

he’s gay and has been out since the end of his freshman year.

aaaand i can’t think of anything else atm but pls hmu to plot my dudes

[lyragcmez-blog]

Oh them? Yeah, that’s LYRA GOMEZ. They’re SEVENTEEN, which would make them a JUNIOR. I think they got into Silver Oak Academy for being TALENTED, and come from ILLINOIS. Honestly, they’re kind of SPACEY and GULLIBLE, but BENEVOLENT and SANGUINE too. Did you know they’re hiding that THEY COMPULSIVELY STEAL/SHOPLIFT? If you ask me, they look a little like CAMILA CABELLO. 

☾  what up i’m jared i’m nineteen and i never fucking learned how to read

no hi hello! i’m bee and this is my intro post for my Child lyra. i’ll preface by saying that it’s been a minute since i’ve been part of a group and i may be a little out of touch - please bear with me as i am trying my best ! lyra is a muse i’ve had for a while now but haven’t had a chance to really really flesh her out and shape her, so i’m excited to work on that here with you all, if you’ll have us. ok yes !! 

ok so as far as being a student at soa i hc that lyra enrolled shortly after the beginning of sophomore year. she’s been floating around for a year or so. we can totally assume connections in that case or start fresh idc. 

she comes from a healthy two parent household in the midwest and regularly keeps in contacts with her two dads. 

school back home was a rough time as she was the target of bullying among her peers, and lyra prefers not to dwell on life before soa. 

lyra’s a little bit Different. 

her eyes glaze over easily, she drifts off into a daydream at the drop of a hat, and all around has an airy sense to the things she does. she doesn’t quite get personal space, and gets attached far too easily. 

she falls a little bit in love with every person she meets. 

lyra assumes the very best in people, and is trusting to a fault - that is, it’s very easy to get her at one’s beck and call. just a kind word and she’s hooked. 

that’s sort of how her newfound mania with stealing and lifting came about. there’s more in the little bio i whipped up for her but it boils down to it started a year ago and has persisted - even gotten worse. more personal, too. she’s started picking up things from friends/peers. has yet to be caught, tho oooooOOoOOOOOo. 

if you’d like to plot anything at all please hmu or pop a like on this post and i’ll come to you and we can get something cute going. thanks !!

A Personal Guide to Summer Slater

Oh them? Yeah, that’s SUMMER SLATER. They’re SEVENTEEN, which would make them a JUNIOR. I think they got into Silver Oak Academy for being RICH and come from NEW HAMPSHIRE. Honestly, they’re kind of DISHONEST and STUBBORN, but INTELLIGENT and KIND too. Did you know they’re hiding that SHE HAS STOLEN MONEY FROM HER FAMILY? If you ask me, they look a little like KATHERINE LANGFORD. (katie/est/18/she/her)

Born May 7th, 2001

Grew up in Durham, NH

Only child in a wealthy family. Both parents are psychology professors at the University of New Hampshire

 Started going to college parties the summer after her freshman year, and into the fall of her sophomore year. Got really into drinking, drugs, and college boys.

Parents were fed up with it and transferred her to boarding school after her first semester of sophomore year. 

Pissed at the world, she stole a good chunk of money from her parents, and relatives to buy whatever she wanted or needed in Boston.

She is still stealing money from her parents whenever she needs it, but usually in small bits.

Total plant mom

Plans to attend college in either Boston, New York, or Philadelphia. She still isn’t sure about what she wants to do. 

[wtfcelestc-blog]

Oh them? Yeah, that’s CELESTE CHÁVEZ. They’re SIXTEEN, which would make them a SOPHOMORE. I think they got into Silver Oak Academy for being RICH, and come from CALIFORNIA. Honestly, they’re kind of CONCEITED and ARGUMENTATIVE, but FUN and CHARISMATIC too. Did you know they’re hiding that SHE HOOKS WITH PEOPLE BECAUSE SHE’S AFRAID OF COMMITMENT? If you ask me, they look a little like CIERRA RAMIREZ. (Cece/EST/18/She&Her)

She was born on March 31. That means she is an Aries.

Her mother and father are divorced, both of them are pretty wealthy on their own and have been keen on trying to buy her love. She knows their just trying to make her choose between the two. Her parents got divorced when she was six years old and it took a toll on her. Her parents cared about her but with the their work in the way they barely had a lot of time talk about why they gotten divorced. There was a period of time when she thought it was her fault they weren’t together.

Ever since she was child, the other children who hung out with her only used her for her money and wealth. Even her then best friend in grade school admitted to this accidentally, one day they were talking on the phone. After that she stopped talking to her. She became a completely different person, she became an harsh and non-trusting person. She stopped trusting people as much.

She developed issues with commitment to a person, platonic and romantic because her of this. She can still be friends with you but don’t expect her to be defensive most of the time because she most likely won’t reveal her true feelings.
