Ok, so I was making this list of characters for myself. I like to be
organized and I'm a little obsessed with things. Then I decided that I
might as well let everyone read it. It will just give you guys a little
back round on everyone. Also, if you responded to my casting call this will
show you if you are in it or not. I'm sorry that I couldn't put everyone
in. I'm also sorry that I changed a lot of things. But I need to make it
work with the story. So here is my list of characters.
WEST SIDE
RACETRACK: Name on birth certificate because his dad was drunk so he thought it was funny. Sarcastic and funny. Not worse or better than anyone in a fight. Doesn't like to fight, but always up for one. Often forgetful and careless which puts him in danger a lot. Inside- dreamer, wants to make his older brother, Jack, proud. But since Jacks is always yelling at him, he thinks Jack hates him. Even though he isn't the best fighter he can't seem to stay out of trouble, so he always has a cut or bruises somewhere. Our main character, so the story is told for his point of view. Has a younger sister named Baby. His idol is Spot Conlon. His best friend is Crutchy. Racetrack is 17 years old. His parents died 3 years ago in a car crash.
JACK: First name is actually Jack Kelly, because he dad was a drunk (so like Racetrack his dad thought the name was funny) who died in a car crash with his mom. Yells at his younger brother, Racetrack, because he thinks Race should take more care and be smarter. Very protectful of his family and friends. An excellent fighter and is very strong. The leader of the West Side. Kind of the dad of everyone. He is 20 and dropped out of high school when he was 17 after his parents died so he could work to take care of his brother and sister. Has a girlfriend named Elizabeth Conlon, but called Sparrow.
BABY: Actually named Audrey, because her mother wouldn't let her dad name her. Called Baby because she is the youngest and a little immature. She has a huge crush on Spot, but is a little to young for him. But she hangs around him all the time and he loves to baby her (and tease her). She is 15 and the younger sister of Jack and Racetrack. Loves both of her brothers very much but wishes they would stop fighting. Her parents died in a car crash.
SPOT CONLON: Spot is the strongest person on the West Side. He would probably be the leader if he weren't so wild. He is emotionless and nothing gets to him. However, he is fiercely loyal to his friends. His parents kicked him out, so he took his sister, Sparrow, and left. Some how he got a house for them to live in, but I won't go into how he got it because it will just make him look bad. He is a huge flirt, but never sticks with anyone. He is 20, like Jack.
ELIZABETH CONLON: Called Sparrow for her love of singing. She wants to go on the stage but Spot makes her go to school. Spot's younger sister and like him she doesn't talk anything from anyone. But she isn't as cold as he is. She is 18 so Spot wants her to graduate. She is Jack's girlfriend, which gets Spot even more protective of her than he was before.
KID BLINK: Called because he was blinded in one eye in a fight with the East Side a few years ago. Always has a smile on his face and joke to crack. His favorite way of getting to and East Sider is to make fun of them. He is really hyper and always up for a fight. Even though he may not seem it most of the time he is smart about things and knows when to be serious. Technically, lives with his mom. His dad ran about when he was little. But he never stays there or at least it seems that way. He is 19. His girlfriend is Milkshake. BRANDIE FOSTER: Called Milkshake because she loves them so much. Her parents died before she came to the West Side and she doesn't talk about it much. So she mainly stays wherever Blink does seeing as she is his girlfriend. The perfect match for Blink, she is spunky, friendly, always ready for a fight, and always has a joke ready. She is 19 also.
CRUTCHY: The only one of the gang that actually has both of his parents. But the only one who wishes they were dead. They fight all the time and when they aren't his dad is beating him. This gives him the name Crutchy: he always has some new injury from his dad. The most recent being a sprained ankle from a "fall" down the stairs. The whole gang is crazily protective of him. He is small for his age and thin. He is very nervous because of his dad and is a horrible fighter. He hangs out with Racetrack. He is 17 but looks more like 15.
EAST SIDE
DAVID JACOBS: His father runs major company and his mother has cocktails every afternoon with "the girls". He is the leader of the East Side. So that automatically makes him rich, a snob, and stupid. He is 20 and to lazy to go to college even though his parents think he is the best son ever. He favorite past time is to get drunk and beat up stray West Siders. He thinks he has girlfriend called Markayla.
MUSH MEYERS: He basically follows David, laughs at his jokes, and does anything he is told to. The only thing he thinks for himself about is his sister, Markayla. He is protective of her but disappointed in her. He gave her the nickname Minx. He is 20.
MARKAYLA MEYERS: Her nickname, Minx, describes her well. She is the bad girl of the East Side. Her parents love her brother and have given up on her. She is a huge flirt and she and Spot love to play around. Although the East Side tries to stop her behavior as much as they can. David thinks she is his girl but she hates his guts. She is 17.
I'm sorry but I don't really have much to say about the rest of the East Side, so this will be brief.
SKITTERY: Another rich, mindless follower. His girlfriend is Kaya.
KAYA WILLIAMS: She is Skittery's girl. Basically, she is nice, even to the West Side even though they kind of scare her.
BUMLETS: Say it with me: Rich, Mindless, Follower. Kathleen is his girlfriend.
KATHLEEN O'REILY: She is loud but very nice. Bumlet's girl. She can get pretty angry, but generally doesn't like fights.
p.s. It might take me a little longer than I had hoped to get up my first chapter. But I promise it will be a soon as I can. My hope is by tomorrow afternoon, but it might be more towards the middle to end of the week.
p.p.s. You can really tell which gang I like more can't you...no offence to my East Side people...but I still find it funny.
