CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS


Michaela
Michaela is a seventeen year old vulnerable young lady. She has a son named Max who is two years old. She has never told anyone, not even the father that the child was his. Michaela has motherly features and a motherly attitude. She acts motherly only around Max. When people get to know her they feel like they can actually see the little kid trapped inside of her. She has straight, thick white-blond hair. Her hair is a beautiful shade, and goes to about two inches past her shoulders. She is around five foot six, at a slim 135 pounds. She lost all of her pregnancy weight shortly after Max was born. When you look into Michaela's deep brown eyes you can see only the emotions that she allows. You can see the love when she looks at Max, or at her closest friends. You can see her anger when someone offends her or someone she cares about. Also her frustration when she doesn't understand something. Michaela's absolute favorite color is teal. If she could, she would wear only that color. Michaela's best friends are Angel and Ezra, who she is trying to get to stop all of their bad habits. Her other close friends are Matt, Brad, and Brooke. Her family members are: her mom who died two years ago in a car accident, and her father hasn't been the same since the accident. Her brother Brad is also quite a character.

Max
Max is Michaela's two year old son. He has light brown hair that turns a shade blonder in the Summer months. He has handsome brown eyes with little green specs. He can talk and be understood over half of the time that he talks. He is an intelligent little boy, and knows how loved he is. He gives hugs to everybody, like Grammy, Grampy, Uncy Bwad, Mommy, and all Mommy's friends. He is a very cuddly and lovable little guy. He seems to understand most concepts rather quickly. He wears whatever mom buys, which is nice for mom, because he doesn't argue about clothes yet.


Ezra
Ezra is quite a character. He can turn his charm on or off depending on who he is around. His best friends are Angel, who does drugs with him along with smoking and drinking. His other best friend is Michaela who is helping him and Angel quit their 'bad habits'. Ezra's other friends include Nikos, and Howie. He treats all of his friends very well. He treats Michaela the best though, because he has a crush on her and loves her little boy, Max. He dislikes Matt though, mainly because he suspects that Matt is Max's father. Michaela never told him who the father was, but he just thinks that it is the most logical solution. Ezra's family is just his father and his grandmother. He lives with them both, and his friend Angel. Angel lives with Ezra and his family because of personal reasons. Ezra has blond/brown hair that is cut in a long bow cut to the middle of his ears. He is 5'5", and weighs his 125 pounds very well. He is 16, but his girlfriend, Brooke, is only 15. They have a very decent relationship, and he enjoys spending time with her, but she's more like a friend than a girlfriend. Except when Howie's around. Then she's always really touchy feely with him. And she shows more skin, too. Ezra doesn't understand it, but he is like that around Michaela too so he can't complain. Most people at the school they go to just assume everything about him. If they gave him a chance, they might find that he is just another normal (kind of) guy.


Nikos
Nikos is a seventeen year old disturbed young man. He has been through more than people his age should go through. Both of his parents were killed in a drive-by shooting in his old neighborhood. When he lived there, he had a girlfriend, Mackenzie, and his other close friends were all gangsters. Some of his old friends were: Ice, JJ, "Lolita", and Reezy. Nikos misses them and all the fun they used to have together. He still dresses the same as he did then, but he tries to set a better example for his sister Lachelle. They both live with their older brother Howie in a much better part of town. Since moving here he has met a lot of nice people, especially Angel. He thinks she is like a goddess or something. His new best friend is Matt, and his other close friends are Ezra and Angel. He doesn't have a girlfriend because whenever he thinks about it he remembers Mackenzie and the promise he made her. Nikos plays football which adds to the already wonderful physique he has. He is 5"9' and weighs 165 pounds of mainly muscle. Nikos has brown hair in a "George Clooney" cut. He has wide green eyes (with brown specs) that hard as he tries not to, show all his emotions. He drives a candy apple red camaro, which looks wonderful. It's a real beater on the inside though. It needs a muffler, and there's something wrong with the exhaust pipes, not to mention that he needs to change some spark plugs. Also, the battery's over half way to dead; but it's Nikos's car and he loves his baby. Nikos likes Angel a lot, has for the past two years. He keeps their relationship as friends though, because of Brad, Angel's boyfriend. Also, because of Mackenzie and that stupid promise he made.
Angel
Angel is a 17 year old sad girl. Both of her parents and her new baby sister died in a car accident. They were all hit by a drunk driver, a "hit and run" case. Right before her parents were killed they had their will drawn up. Thank God, for the little things. The will paid for funeral costs, and set up for her to live with Ezra's family. It put 1.3 million dollars in a trust that she could open when she turned 18. It also gave Ezra's father a half million dollars for her expenses. Before they died, they finally gave Angel her own vehicle. She got the Van she wanted. A big white van that holds up to nine people. They even let her put a very expensive stereo system in it. They also gave her a lifetime membership to a private campground owned by them. She now owns it, and has the only set of keys to the front gate, except for the groundskeeper, Sammy. She has to go up this Summer to make sure Sammy is doing his job correctly. She'll bring some friends along. Angel has blond hair with 'sun in' streaks, that falls to the middle of her back in a layered look. She weighs around 135 pounds, but wears it in a curvy fashion. She isn't all curves, but she isn't 'no curves' either. Angel's best friends are Ezra and Michaela. Her boyfriend is Michaela's brother, Brad. Her other close friends include Lachelle, Brooke, and Nikos. Nikos in her mind is H-O-T-T HOT. She has a boyfriend, but he doesn't understand her, EVER. Right now, she smokes, drinks, and does pot. Michaela is gonna help her and Ezra quit very soon though.


Brooke
Brooke lives with her mom, her dad, and her sister Linda. She is a 15 year old sophomore but hangs out with all older people. Her best friend, Lachelle is older than her by 1 year and two days. Brooke hates Lachelle's boyfriend, Matt, though. She doesn't really have a reason, but. . . Brooke thinks she loves Lachelle's older brother, Howie. Even though he's eight years older than her. She is dating Ezra and they have a decent relationship. She knows that she doesn't love him, but she has no reason to break up with him (in her mind.). Brooke has a perfect hourglass figure. She is curvy and not to thin or overweight. She has short brown hair with blond streaky tips that falls to the tips of her ears on top, in a "Wynona Rider" look.

Matt
Matt is an eighteen year old "boy-man". He considers himself a man, but he still acts a lot like a little boy. Matt has smoked cigarettes since he was 16, and now that he's 18 he does it even more often. Now, since he knows how badly he needed cigarettes, he buys them for his friends who smoke. Matt's friends are Linda, Brad, and his best friend is Nikos. Matt has black hair in a longer crew cut. He has big, brown, "puppy dog" eyes, and if you stare into them deeply, you'll see little green specs. His eyes always look either extremely happy, or extremely angry. He doesn't have an emotion in between that shows in his eyes. Matt is five foot ten and wears his 165 pounds pretty well. He has a little belly, but it looks cute since he still looks really good with his shirt off. Matt is a very gothic person. He wears only black clothes, he wears lots of jewelry, (rings, necklaces, tongue ring) and he wears eyeliner everyday. Matt drives a very old black "beater", a very old very rickety old car. Matt has only his mom left in his family. His father died six months ago in an armed robbery. His mother has been depressed/devastated ever since. Her depression worries Matt immensely.


Brad
Brad is a trusting and loving young man. He trusts people way to much sometimes, like his friends. His friends include Linda, Mackenzie, Brad, and his best friend is Howie. His girlfriend Angel is a real catch in his eyes. She's gorgeous, honest, trustworthy, loving, and best of all she doesn't do drugs: (that's what he thinks). Brad lives with his sister Michaela, his nephew, Max, and his father who since mom's death in a car accident just hasn't been the same. Brad is 5'9", and 150 muscular pounds. He has strong arms, and Angel tells him that they make her feel safe from the rest of the world. He has bright blue eyes that show everything. Which he really hates, because he tries to act like such a tough guy and his eyes always give him away. He has brown hair in a bow cut that is at the top of his ears.


Mackenzie
Mackenzie is a bad ass. Most of her friends are either in gangs, or the girlfriends of gangsters. She has lived in the same neighborhood since she was little. She met Nikos there, and thinks that she still loves him. She (in her mind) knows that he still loves her. His promise told her everything that she ever needed to know from or about him. Mackenzie's only close friend that isn't in a gang is Brad. He's been her rock through everything lately. She's trying to leave the gang that all her friends are in, and it's tough. She is 16 years old, and doesn't know anyone else from "brad's neighborhood", besides Nikos. All though, she did meet Howie once, but she doesn't know him. Mackenzie's family is her aunt and uncle. She lives with them because her mother died in child birth, and her father committed suicide when she was 12. Her father's death was especially hard for her because she found him in the bathtub; he had shot himself through the mouth. Nikos was there for her through all of this, and that's why she feels that there is such a special connection between them. She drives a 85' Pontiac Grand Am. Mackenzie dresses in tight pants, and even tighter shirts. Although when she's with Brad she wears normal sized clothes, and it feels ok. Mackenzie has green eyes that shine straight to your soul.

Nikos used to hang out with a bad crowd, but Howie forbid it. He doesn't want Nikos to get into gang trouble anymore, his parents didn't use discipline; but he does.
