Muse Alert: Matty Harrison

Name: Matthew "Matty" Xavier Harrison

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Bisexual

Appearance/Faceclaim: Zachary Grenenger

Personality: Matthew grew up with many expectations and responsibilities when conducting himself. Because of this, he grew to have great disdain for having to take up different responsibilities and keeping up his image. He wants to live without someone always hovering over him, and without the stress of always having to be the Poster Boy everyone looks up to. But, at the same time, he can't help but be a very responsible, mature young man. Because of his upbringing, Matthew will tend to be a bit more gentlemanly, and well learned. He's very charismatic, and very much so is a people person. He's a crowd pleaser, and always willing to help people. Just because he was raised spoiled doesn't mean he's a brat. He's a very funny young man, and is very friendly and easy-going. It takes a lot to rile him up, but once he gets going he doesn't stop easy. He's been stifled for far too long. He's here to live, to please, and to learn.

Seven Deadly Sin(s)?: Envy, Lust, Wrath

Some Great Attributes: A very compassionate person. He's a people person, and a crowd pleaser. He's willing to work hard, despite his outward personality of not wanting to.

Past Disease?: N/A ; was of excellent health as a child. Got a small case of chicken pox when he was 7.

Background: While he was growing up, Matthew came from a very strict, privileged family. His parents were always hounding him about how his social image was, and how he was to conduct himself. He was an only child to his two parents, and was in line for a fortune. He had no problem with taking up the family business, until he started to see how his parents treated their employees, and how constricting that life was. As he began to get older, more and more responsibility began getting placed on him. He was not to do this, but had to do that, and couldn't get a word in if he wanted to or not. He had expectations that most adults didn't have put on him at a young age, and he finally got sick of it. At the age of sixteen, he decided that leaving was best. So, he ran away, and went to New York, where he now resides.

Skills/Talents/Hobbies: As a man of many hats, Matthew can play just about any instrument you place before him, and can sing a very pleasant tune if you ask. He was pruned to be able to entertain guests, and it has stuck with him ever since his youth. As well, he is very handy with a paper and pen. He can sketch many different things, but portraits are his favorite to draw. Matthew also enjoys to read, and to swim. He plays no particular sport(s), but has a fondness for baseball because his father hated it.

Likes: Music, dancing, partying, people, reading, good cuisine, swimming, drawing, playing the piano, and baseball. He also likes to be called "Matty" and is very fond of helping people, and kind people in general.

Dislikes: Being called "Master Matthew/Harrison", being called a brat, or being referred to as spoiled. He does not like foul mouthed people, or people who are extremely greedy and aloof to others pain. He really does not like talking about his parents and home life, and usually shuts down anytime someone mentions it.

((Face Claim: Niall Horan))

Personality: Thomas is the really friendly, really social, really loud guy you'd meet at summer camp. He's bubbly and laughs often. He's got a great quick whit and a sharp tongue. He's the kind of guy who will grab someone in a chokehold if they anger him or make someone else upset, then drop them and hug the person who was upset only seconds later.

Thomas is kind of lazy though, and enjoys his naps and free time. He's a very chill and laid back guy, and likes the weekends more than anything. He's kind of a slacker, but isn't afraid to work if it means he'll get something in return or if he's helping someone.

Seven Deadly Sin(s)?: Gluttony, Sloth, Lust

Some Great Attributes: Thomas is very caring and lovable. He's pretty trustworthy with secrets and with keeping his word. He can almost always make someone laugh, and often will do anything to get someone to laugh.

Past Disease?: None. He was relatively healthy as a kid.

Background: Thomas grew up with a single mom and a brother. His dad was never in the picture. Both his mother and his brother suffered from clinical depression, and often were sad. Thomas's brother, Bradley, committed suicide when he was 15.

Thomas saw his mother darken even more after his brother passed. He saw her cry often, when she was home at least. They didn't grow up in a wealthy home, and his mother worked very hard and worked for many hours. Despite her own sadness, she would always try and help Thomas or make him laugh. And so, in return, he began making her laugh. Thomas would desperately do anything to make his mom smile for years, and would help her as much as he could.

Later on his mother did remarry and things got better. He was 16 at the time. His brother had been dead for 6 years. His mother was happy now and so was he. He still lingers with those haunting memories, but he still enjoys himself. He visits his mother and stepfather often and keeps in touch regularly. He also will visit his brother's grave many times a year.

Thomas is also a runner. He's mostly into sprints, but also likes to do Cross Country.

Music Taste: Country, Modern Pop, Jazz, R&B Soul

Likes: Sweets, relaxing, running, laughing, making others laugh, and cartoons. He loves his cartoons. And cooking.

Muse Alert: Joshua Knight

Name: Joshua Knight (Joshua Andrew Knight)

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Straight

Heritage: Native America, Italian, Spanish, and Swedish.

Appearance: Joshua stands at 6'4, so he is quite tall. Though, being tall as he is, he is very defined. He's lean and muscular. His skin is a soft brown, mostly tan. He has very few blemishes and very few beauty marks. On his face he has a tiny mole on his right cheek. On his left thigh he has three little moles that make up a perfect triangle. His hair is usually tossed around and stuck up in front, colored a dark brown with streaks of red. His eyes are deep set and are a caramel hue with flecks of gold. His nose is flat bridged and close to his face, a bit box shaped. His face is thicker and has a chiseled, square shape to it.

Personality: Joshua is someone who has experienced being bullied a lot. Because he was chubby as a kid, he got picked on a lot. He had few friends, and Zia was his support system a lot of the time.

Joshua cares deeply for Zia, and anyone else he's close with. He's pretty manly, and hates to cry in front of others. For a time during high school, Joshua fell into a bad group, and was easily swayed with peer pressure. He got to being a bully, and had a "I'll do whatever I want" kind of attitude. He drank, meddled with drugs, and treated people like crap. His grades began to suffer, and he just went off the deep end.

When he finally cleaned himself up, Joshua turned himself around big time. He suffers from social anxiety, and prefers to be in small groups and one on one situations. He's much more outgoing and carefree when alone with someone, especially Zia. He is a very touchy person, and relies on the physical feeling of another to keep him grounded. He usually can be caught holding hands with, having his arm around, or standing close to someone. He is a perfectionist, and tries as hard as he can to make up for what he did in high school.

Seven Deadly Sin(s)?: Lust, Greed, Sloth, and Pride.

Some Great Attributes: Very clever and intelligent. Honest. Hardworking (when he chooses to). Secretly kind.

Past Disease?: None. He was chubby as a kid, and when he got older he got heavily into working out so he wouldn't be fat again so he wouldn't be bullied.

Background: Both of his parents were not home often. His father was a business man who wasn't home a lot, and his mother was a nurse. He was alone a lot, but was always close with his mother. His father wasn't around often, and when he was he mostly was distant from Joshua and his mother.

When the end of middle school rolled around, because Joshua was beginning to grow into his body and lose his baby fat, he began to get noticed by the more “popular” kids of school. Craving that attention from other people, he turned on himself and Zia, and dropped their lifelong friendship. Zia was still not as big as he was, and so when the others started to pick on her, he just let it happen. He had these new friends, and he didn't want to upset them after all.

In high school, Joshua stayed with that "popular" group. Through them he got into drinking and mild drugs. His grades dropped for a bit, but he always managed to find some way to have excuses or change them before his mother saw. He couldn't disappoint her. He always knew what he was doing was wrong, he just didn’t care enough to put in the effort to change. He didn’t want to hurt her with what he did though.

When his senior year rolled around, Joshua found out the ugly truth about his father. He was gone a lot because he was off having kids with other women. He had other families. He also found out about his father's drinking problem, which really struck a chord. His parents divorced in that year.

Because of what his father did, and when his father got a divorce from his mother, Joshua turned himself around. He was disgusted, seeing so many similarities with his father. He hated him, and decided that no matter what he wouldn't end up like him.

Skills/talents/hobbies: Can play guitar. Can cook. Soccer and Baseball player. Talented with numbers and formulas. Photographic memory.

Music taste: R&R, Techno, Jazz.

Likes: Mathematics, sports, going out. Cars and spicy foods, and bulldogs. Being with Zia, who is his closest friend.

Dislikes: Overly sweet things and lazy people. People that mess with his things. Large crowds, and being at the center of attention.

Muse Alert: Zia Chase

Name: Zia Chase/ Zia Anna Chase

Age: 18

Gender: female

Sexuality: Straight

Appearance:

Zia is 5 foot 2 inches and mostly athletically built. Medium shoulder width, cup size a smaller C, thin waist, toned stomach, wide-ish hips, and long legs. Very slender and femininely muscular. Skin is fair, but tans easily. High cheek bones, oval face, mostly clear complexion (she’s dotted with pretty small moles all over the place. There’s a larger one on her left shoulder blade), almond shaped eyes with defined brows. Her nose is sprinkled with barely there freckles that like to make themselves known in summer. Eyes are her most… Unique feature. They’re a white-blue color, very clear throughout with a dark blue trim. Are almost a clear, cloudless sky color. Her lips are full and shapely. She is a mostly golden blonde, not dirty blonde or bleach blonde. Her hair is decently long, falling just between her shoulder blades. She usually wears it in a messy bun.

Personality: Zia is a leader. Boisterous, kind, and hardworking. A true ENFJ. Very much a stubborn and determined person. She is very selfless though, to more of a point of destruction. She’s extremely loyal, but only once she thinks someone is worth protecting and has gained her trust (no easy task). Once she sets you in her heart, you can’t escape. She’s very motherly as well, very responsible. She can be very immature at right times, and as wise as the oldest tortoise at the right time. She doesn’t take any foul play or injustice, she doesn’t settle for half-assed bargains either. She’s an all or nothing kind of person, and is always willing to take risks. She loves thrills, but not horror thrills. She’s the kind of person who will do anything to make their friends smile or laugh.

Seven Deadly Sin(s)?: Pride and Wrath. She’s most likely not easy to persuade out of an idea, or belief. Very emotionally driven. Usually she is an ‘act in the moment’ type and doesn’t always think straight, but hardly ever regrets.

Some Great Attributes: She’s hardworking. This could be a flaw in her system though, she sometimes doesn’t know when to quit. She’s patient (but not always). She’s good with kids. She (in contrast to wrathful nature) can be sympathetic and forgiving (only to certain degrees).

Past Disease?: No. Pretty healthy as a child.

Background: TBD

Skills/talents/hobbies: She’s an above average swimmer (fly and free, mostly sprints), excels in dance (prodigy), she’s an excellent cook, and she’s an artist (one of her best talents). Decent singer, but nothing too special. Can handle a gun fine. Has an eye for color, and fashion.

Music taste: Mostly anything. Just loves music period.

Likes: Sweet desserts, fruity candies. Hotter seasons over colder ones. Jeans and nice shirts over dresses. Swimming. Dancing. Traveling. Reading. Alone time. Trustworthy people. Laughing.

Dislikes: Being cheated. People who waste things. People who annoy people to just annoy people. People who make cruel commentary or jokes (especially when not needed). Bullies. Spicy foods. Southern accents.
