*Porlogue II*
All the Adults are gone...
all the teachers are gone... all peace and regular meals are gone... just Tribal instincts and war paint survive.
If survival depends on not getting caught by the "crib" (rival gangs) or just finding your next meal... then the only option is to start your own Tribe.

Skittery (Slade) is a 'Pale Rider' character. He's out for himself, and his motives are often ambiguous. But there's a basic decency there behind the gruff exterior, and he can occasionally surprise us with acts of tenderness. What's more he doesn't judge others, (except to know that they will also look out for number one, if they've any sense).He is certainly not a 'baddie', he doesn't want to rule the world, but neither does he harbour any illusions about building a Utopia from the ashes of the adult world.
Ruby(Played by a Skittery fan)- is independent, quick-witted, humorous, inventive, shrewd and resourceful. She has a whiplash turn of phrase that can cut any fool down to size. However if that doesn't work she's not afraid to back up an argument with her fist. Cross Ruby at your peril. She also has the tenacity of a terrier and a strong sense of "right". She loves language and her cryptic lateral thinking mind has developed a love for crossword puzzles.Although Ruby is certainly resourceful and capable - for all that confidence she still has a vulnerability and is sensitive to other people's needs as well as to her own.She also drives the hell out of Sarah driving her to the edge, and she's the only one that can play Sarah's game better than she can, and can see right through her(Sarah has a lot of enemies lol)
Les- always optimistic and tries to act cool and grown up, always wants to be part of the action but hardly does because of his age, he looks up to Jack as his hero and idol and someday wants to be just like him, gets annoyed of David at times because David acts more like a parent than a brother and is also deeply afraid of his older sis Sarah
Lottie(Played by anyone)-A petty thief, friendly and cute but also wild, unkempt and urchin like. Something of a kleptomaniac, always pinching something - whether it be the important CD, Gismo, or simply a scarf at the Mall. Lottie gains a bad reputation and, like the boy who cried wolf, people become quick to accuse her; even if she is not actually guilty of committing the crime. Ruby, and later Reverie, are not prepared to write Lottie off just because she is a proven thief and can detect a nicer side to her. They see Lottie's thieving as something that she might grow out of, if given the right direction and advice.
Gel(played by a Mush fan)-Gel is a lost soul. She is a born follower not a leader, and has survived since the virus struck by hanging onto others' coat-tails. She is totally self-absorbed, into fashion, the latest look and gossip. In times of danger and crisis, the state of her nails or hair are Gel's prime concern. She doesn't understand or care about the power struggles that go on around her and in the city. All she wants is a quiet ordered life, so she can concentrate on the important things in life; her appearance, her growing interest in 'boys' and having fun. She has a HUGE crush on Mush, not secretive, Mush avoids her like a plague and can't stand to be around her and her annoying shrieking voice and spraying of the hairspray, when she's not doing her hair and makeup she's chasing Mush
Mush fan(I made up this character)- from a farm in New Jersey, she's quiet and secretive, (You can make up the rest) Mush and her have a deep relationship that ends shortly after a tragie event (no one dies, it's something else that I don't want to give away)
Dee(played by a David fan)- Dee sincerely wants the city to be peaceful and prosperous once more and will do all she can to achieve this. She will protect her own family tribe from danger and is courageous. Dee has a sense of humour which sometimes results in witty comments - other times, in sarcasm. She does not aspire to ever lead and is happy to be "one of the gang". She hopes to meet "Mr Right" one day but in the meantime is quite suspicious and cynical about men - but who knows what fate has in store for her...?
More cc coming soon, there's just so many characters!
