Clint Wilson:
Status: The main character
Birthday: 10/23/1983
School: NYU
Height: 6'0"
He might look kindy gothy, what with the purple hair and black outfits, but he's more of a punk-rocker than anything. Actually, that's not really important. Clint was the downer, the loner, the sad guy who came around. Sure he gets upset and angst-ridden every now and then, but that doesn't make up who he is. He loves his friends, gets stressed out and has been suffering insomnia lately. He has an arch-rival who actually wants to kill him, as weird as that sounds, but with supernatural strength and abilities, he has managed to survive the battle between good and evil, even if he might be traumatized from it all.
Lana Schneider:
Status: The main character's girlfriend
Birthday: 06/2/1984
School: SVA
Height: 5'6"
Lana's the sweet, open-minded girl that fell in love with Clint. Although she isn't very trusting. Her first boyfriend died when she was young, and the second one was very abusive, leaving her very protective over Clint. She has an older sister and parents her love her very much. She's not very confident with her artwork, and was recently used as live bait to try and lure Clint to his death. They're both in therapy to try and overcome the experience.
Roland Warui:
Status: The antagonist
Birthday: 10/23/1983
Mafia member
Height: 5'11"
Although not originally insane, Roland was raised by his uncle, since his father left him and his mother tried to kill him. However that doesn't mean his uncle was any better. Constantly beaten and abused, Roland found sanctuary at school by finding love and attention with his peers, even if it takes smart scheming and manipulation. Once Clint came around and became popular because of Lindsey's rescue, Roland was second fiddle and hated Clint with a passion. Eventually Roland's uncle was hospitalized by Roland himself and no one questioned him if he was the cause of it all, since he seemed like such a good boy. But when his true side came out at prom, he left the home he was staying at and lived on the streets of NYC. Eventually Tyler, whom he framed for attempted murder during senior year without any problems, came for Roland and for self-defense killed him. He then served a few months in jail, his father came back revealing the reason he left and proposed Roland join his mafia with his supernatural talents. However, with no life to live, Roland wanted to kill Clint, his equal, for ruining the life that he had, until he could pledge loyalty to his father. He is now back in jail for trying to kill Lana and Clint, and accidently killing his girlfriend Faith.
Shane McShayne:
Status: Clint's best friend/roommate
Birthday: 03/21/1984
School: NYU
Height: 6'0"
His passion is music, and used to dress like a punk-rocker. But eventually he found his own identity and got rid of the similar style that his brother wears. He's a little paranoid and somewhat ignorant, but he means well and is willing to learn. He hates his brother for giving him constant headaches, and wishes nothing to do with him, but will listen to Josh bitch about Pat, just to prove to himself that he's right. He used to be Jill's boyfriend, who was Clint's only friend before he moved in junior year, but has since moved on and is now in a long distance relationship with Lindsey.
Josh Mirman:
Status: Clint and Lana's friend
Birthday: 05/03/1984
School: SVA
Height: 5'9"
Art student on the go. He went to high school with Clint and is now one of Lana's best friends. They go to each other for advice and help when they need it. Josh had a crush on Juliana, but now they're just good friends, and sometimes miserable that he can never find a girl of his own. To add on top of that, he has had it with his roommate Pat, who treats him like shit. He just wants to have a good time, but often finds himself getting bitter from other people. If it wasn't for other people, things would be a-ok.
Elyssa Garcia:
Status: Clint's friend/classmate
Birthday: 3/25/1984
School: NYU
Height: 5'6"
Voluptuous and sexy, but unloved. Her mother hates her, and her father doesn't live with them to protect her. Her old friends ditched her, resulting in whoring herself just for attention. When she met Clint who was nice to her for the sake of being a nice guy, she fell for him. After almost losing Clint as a friend after planning Lana and Clint's short-term breakup, she went to fix her mistake and is now friends with both of them. She wants to be psychologist to try and fix people that are more fucked up than she is. She could also go for someone that loves her for who she is, and not judge her over her sketchy past.
Jack Hudson:
Status: One of Clint's best friends/ex-rival/brother of Lindsey/neighbor
Birthday: 12/01/1982
School: NYU
Height: 6'2"
Jack used to bully Clint when they first met, fearing that he would treat Lindsey (his siter) like a jerk. When Clint saved her life, he realized he had nothing to worry about and took the role of Clint's older brother/friend. When he moved to college, he became the stereotypical party-goer and drunk, but quit cold turkey after his mother was killed from a car accident due to someone crashing into her that was DWI. Both his parents are dead and Lindsey goes to school in Massachussets. Not only that but he's been permanently scarred by Roland as a result when they met each other on the street and refused to tell Roland where Clint was. Luckily he survived. He's afraid to lose anyone else in his life that he cares for and is thinking of asking for his girlfriend's hand in marriage one day...
Lindsey Hudson:
Status: Jack's sister/Shane's girlfriend/Clint's first crush
Birthday: 5/21/1984
School: BU
Height: 5'5"
The original female lead of the story, Lindsey was Clint's first crush. She was kind and caring to him, but really didn't know what she wanted herself. She eventually fell for Clint at the end but it was too late after Lana proclaimed she was the girlfriend. Losing Lana as a friend after junior year in high school, Lindsey looked around for attention and love, and ended up with Roland, only to be seriously dumped in front of the entire school. When she went to college, Shane went to a college near her and they became friends instantly. She felt a similarity in Shane that she saw in Clint and fell for that part of him. They have been dating since. Even though Lindsey was the smartest and most popular girl in high school, she still feels very lonely with her parents both dead, and her brother and boyfriend both in NYC, hundreds of miles away from her.
Nicole Redram:
Status: Jack's girlfriend/roomate
Birthday: 1/10/1983
School: NYU
Height: 5'7"
Nicole loves Jack very much, and used to go to high school with him, until she moved away. Fortunately they're back together and their relationship has grown. She has a very motherly personality, and is kinda horny. She loves to have sex to feel like a whole with Jack, and is obviously NOT shallow, especially after sticking with Jack when he was brutally mutilated. She's sexy and fun. Whoot.
Lucas "Java" Joe:
Status: Clint's roomate
Birthday: 2/19/1984
School: NYU
Height: 5'9"
Passive and calm, but addicted to caffeine. He's addicted to caffeine since he drinks nothing but it to stay awake to do school work. Lucas used to be able to handle his roommate Tim, but can no longer. He's going NUTS from dealing with the childish genius. He used to also be Juliana's boyfriend, but ended up cheating on her with Kim.. Until she gave up on him and is now trying to get into Josh's pants. But he's okay with it. He knows that's how life goes and doesn't get upset over it.
Reid DeLoch:
Status: Clint's old roommate/Bar manager
Birthday: 4/26/1981
Height: 6'6"
Reid's open about who he is, and has got a good sense of humor to go with it. He's the big, intimidating looking person unless you get to know him. Then he's one of the kindest folks around. He has graduated NYU and is now running a bar waiting for the right moment to find his true calling in life. Aside from the bar, he's a big freakin nerd.
Tim Sayten:
Status: Clint's roomate
Birthday: 11/10/82
School: NYU
Height: 5'7"
A genius! GENIUS that eats GARBAGE! Why is that? Is he crazy? Tim can easily create science fiction into reality. That's how magnificent he is with technology. He has made a mecha robot and a clone ray so far. Oh and let's not forget a talking toaster oven. Well, despite this roommate being a plot device, he's still a child at heart and a little crazy. He just wants to have fun!
Tessa Crow:
Status: Lana's roomate
Birthday: 08/04/84
School: SVA
Height: 5'4"
Really weird. Tessa is a good girl and all, but for some reason has this psychic gift.. She seems to constantly call things that will happen in the future with people that she knows, turning her into some sort of gothic soothsayer. She's very loud and obnoxious, and if she doesn't like you, you'll know. And be afraid. Be very, very afraid.
Kim Kang:
Status: Lana's roomate
Birthday: 5/20/1982
School: SVA
Height: 5'5"
Does this girl like sex or what? Actually Kim really enjoys people paying attention to her and how hot and beautiful and sexy and.. those firm breasts.. Mmm. She enjoyed having sex with Java plenty, but if Juliana, Java's ex thinks that Josh is a better, in what ways? Kim doesn't know, but she must find out. She enjoys pulling Josh's strings and how he is somewhat interested in her. She's a little fiesty.
Pat McShayne:
Status: Josh's roomate/Shane's older brother
Birthday: 6/12/1981
School: SVA
Height: 6'3"
This guy turned into a big asshole. He's addicted to drugs and makes fun of everyone. He only cares about himself and thinks he's very funny. Shane hates him, Josh hates him, everyone hates him. He doesn't seem to care. Screw everyone, right?
Juliana Theere:
Status: Josh's best friend
Birthday: 7/3/1984
School: SVA
Height: 5'9"
Josh used to love this girl, and still does, but to a different degree now. Juliana is actually a good girl and nice. She enjoys having a good time and sticks up to Josh when he's being verbally abused by people because no one talks bad about her Joshi. Especially after he took care of her when she really needed someone and felt like no one loved her. Juliana is kinda interested in Josh, but isn't very sure what to do. She doesn't really know what she wants, but she knows that she gets very jealous when Kim hits on her friend. Juliana is very emotional and caring. She's loving and kind. She hasn't shown any bad side of hers yet. Good.
Lana "Faith" Schuzo:
Status: Prostitute/Roland's ex-girlfriend
Birthday: 11/22/1982
Height: 5'6"
DECEASED
She lived life on the streets with her older brother, whoring herself ever since she was a child in order to survive. The japanese mafia liked her.. Erm, Skills, and eventually became one of the most requested prostitutes within them. When Roland met her, he actually fell for her, and a bit paranoid that she'll screw around with other guys, he would pay for her simply to stick with him. However upon sticking with Roland she learned that he was sick and evil, and didn't want anything to do with him. She tried to save Clint from Roland, but ended up getting herself killed. Clint now forever believes it was fate that they met and thinks better of himself like he should. Clint has become more of a philanthropist as an honor to Faith's death.
Tyler Schulssberg:
Status: Big ass bully/Convict/Roland's first victim
Birthday: 4/3/1980
Height: 9'3"
DECEASED
Ugly, gross, big, and a scary giant. Tyler is easily identified with his freakishly black nose. He bullies people for the simple fact that he can, and Roland used that to his advantage. He was framed for attempted murder and tried to plan his own escape from prison to personally "thank" Roland for his framing. Once he did, he hunted after Roland and found him at his mother's tomb. Although almost killing Roland, Roland managed to become the victor and so ends Tyler's saga.
