Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Jon D Kelly
Age: 55
Gender: Male
Species: Light Elf
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 145 pds

Place of birth: Barton General Hospital
Current Residence:In an apartment on the border of downtown Durem. Close to the church and wasn't much of a walk for his niece to get to school.

History: Even as a young elf of Barton, Jon had always been some sort of crybaby. Easily moved by the woes and trails of others, Jon couldn't help getting emotional with every tale he heard. His heart would go out to those who had their hearts broken. Tears would fall for any individual that had lost a loved one no matter how long ago. Finally, his prayers would go out to every fish that he caught, that he would thank in person when he ascended himself.

On the other hand this trait also makes him easily excitable with comings of good news. A heavy believer of a clouds sliver lining, his sermons always end with an happy thought. He had always looked to God when he was feeling low, high, or normal. It was inevitable that would become a Reverend, in a church that really need a man with a soft heart but stern hand.

It was surprising though that the times it would have been appropriate for him to cry, he did not. At the funerals of his parents or his brother's and wife he did not shed a tear. At each he wore a solemn expression, not saying a word. His grief was noticeable as he just seem to glide like a ghost through those troubling times, forcing a smile for every patron that gave him their condolences.

His parents had died a little after he left home. His little brother was only 12 at the time. He then stepped in and supported his brother like any big brother would. However in worrying about his brother and becoming almost like a singe dad, he himself had no real successful love life to speak of. He had much rather go to his brother's soccer games then go out with a wild bunch and picking up chicks. Those women who were inclined found out that Jon's devotion to his brother was near blinding to all of their flirtatious attempts.

His brother was also a little spitfire growing up. Jon would be called again and again to be talked too about his brother's behavior. Each time his brother would get mad that Jon had to come to the rescue. We never admitted it to Jon but he didn't want to be a burden or looked after. He just wanted his big brother just to be his big brother and not a replacement dad.

After raising his brother and having the honor of being the Reverend at his brother's wedding Jon had become less of a crybaby. Though still emotional at everyone's problems, seeing his hand in raising his brother had come to a happy ending he was less stressed. All of which was dashed when he lost his brother due a car wreck with a drunk driver.

Gwen became his only joy during that time. He did his best to raise her as well as he could. However he would have to take a moment from time to time, as Gwen looked so much like her parents and acted so much like her father. He tried his best to juggle the church and his responsibility with Gwen. However even with the help of his dear friend, the church's choir director, giving her singing lessons to keep her busy, Gwen always, like her father, got into trouble.

When Pen had come to his door with Gwen struggling to break free, he thought it was a godsend that someone could keep Gwen in line.

When Gwen left for college he was proud but very worried. To this day he takes his Saturdays off to fish in attempts to calm his nerves.

Known relatives: Gwendolyn Kelly (niece)
Friends: Miss McLarson (the choir director) and other members of the church.
Rivals: Not that he is aware of.

Strengths: A good listener
Weaknesses: Easily moved by everyone else's problems
Likes: Fishing, reading, napping, a good soap opera and cereal.
Dislikes: Sad endings, coffee, loud music, and being out of cereal.

Natural abilities: Confidence in public speaking
Hobbies/talents: Fishing and writing

Appearance: Rather tall he is lanky and with a long narrow face. He had a fatherly air about him and has a smile that seems always on the brink of crying for joy or sorrow.
Attire: As a reverend he has to look rather professional the majority of the time. Though not having much money he doesn't own much more than a week's set of clothes. He has his clothes for Sunday and then he has a variety of clean dress shirts and pants. Other than clothes he doesn't care gets dirty and his fishing outfit he always look like he is at work.

Sid = Downtown Durem, Jac + Lilac= Uptown Durm, Naal= Sub's of Durem, Pru = Barton
Current Residence:
Sid + Lilac= Downtown Durem, Jac= sub's of Durem, Naal + Pru = Downtown,

History:
It started purely by a series of seemingly engineered mistakes.
Naal and Pru were two steampunkers who wanted to start a band.
Naal, going to W. University, meet and roomed with Lilac, who happened to be in for singing classes.
Lilac and her brother Jac, were trained in music.
Lilac meets and starts a relationship with Sid, who was answering Naal's plea for more band mates.
All the little cogs of friendship and great times came together to, all that was missing was what the machine was suppose to do.
First they tried Hip-hop...fail.
Then they try Punk...absolute fail.
Jazz...no one talks about that dark time in they're band's life.
Finally trying 5 different genres, and 16 failed gigs. The group sank into sadness. In an attempt to lift they're spirits, Naal and Pru decide to drag the others to a Steampunk fair.
Brilliant idea!

Likes:
Sid: Like his little Lilac, he thinks she adorable. Like punk outfits and rock, pizza, and steampunk jewelry (on his girlfriend).
Jac: Likes pizza, girls, humor, little steam contraptions, his bass, and writing music. And coming up with the silly introductions for they're band! *everyone else just rolls they're eyes and cue facepalms*
Lilac: Like her Sid rock hard abs, candy, her skirt collection, her steampunk glasses and jewelry.
Naal: Her steampunk clothes, her steampuk goggles, her drums, technology, and noodle and egg roll dishes.
Dislike:
Sid: Jac steam inventions sometimes they are just too stupid for words, comments on his changling appearance, the fact that his dark blue fur makes it hard to find matching clothes. When Lilac randomly hugs him as he is walking (other than that he adores her...well except maybe a few other pet peeves).
Jac: When his sister and her boyfriend go all lovey-dovey on each other. When practice interrupts his inventing time.
Lilac: Her names, she wishes could use Lily, the layers to her steampunk clothes. when her corset moves to much, when her goggles fall in her face. Trying to find good deals on steampunk jewelry and stuff for they're band...there aren't many deals out there for they're stuff. When Jac sticks his foot in his mouth or openly is trying to snag girls.
Naal: When people arrive late to practice (mostly Jac), photographs of them on stage (she thinks she looks fats or that her clothes are too messy). When people think that Jac or Sid are the leaders of the band. When a concert hall is so noisy that even she can't hear the music (and she is playing it).

Name(s):Clair McKinley, Ross McKinley, Heather Newheart and one mystery singer.

Group Name: Pot Luck

Age: 19, 22, 20

Place of Birth: Durem for the Siblings and Gambino for Heather.

Height:5'6", 5'9", 5'4"

Weight: No Comment, 150pds of pure muscle, doesn't care to know exactly

Eye Color: Cloudy gray, and black

Hair Color: Green, Green, and Sliver

Biography: The siblings are music majors and have been in love with music their entire lives. Clair would like to play professionally whether it be from orchestras to rock bands. while Ross always wanted to teach the younger generation. They grew up in Durem with very little strife family wise, their parents would rather they find careers that offered more finacal stability but supported their wishes.

Ross is just your basic big brother intentionally getting his little sister addicted to wide range of music. From classical to rock he would study each music genre in order to become an expert. Favoring Rock and pop, he took lessons for the bass guitar. He is a lively individual and always have a smile on his face. He loves his little sister even though at times she can be a hand full.

Clair was always brute fully honest to everyone so she wasn't well liked among her peers. Regardless her stubbornness never let her realize that she was low on the popularity list. Influenced by the array of music that came from her brother she also came enthralled. Taking guitar lessons the only time she is not talking is when she is playing. Which is why her brother teasly encourages to practice often a long.

The were avid church goers and became part of the church band. Thats also where they met their mysterious singer, a troubled young elf in the choir.

Heather is still not sure how she got involved with this band. She had shared a couple classes with Ross but not any of them music. Being an psychology major she had little interest in playing. However when bored which was often than most she would tap her pencil. Ross being more enticed by the raw sense of rhythm, then in the lectures, dragged Heather to the next practice. Ever since she has been Pot Luck's ever studious quiet rock and roll drummer.

Occupation: Student, an Employee at a local bookstore called "Cover to Cover", tutor for the school.

Special Skills: Clair- a talented guitarist and good back up singer, Ross- writer and very personable, Heather- seems to know everything

Regular Hang-Outs: The bookstore that Ross works at, the quad and the music room.

Dark Elf

Height:
6'5", 5'8"

Weight:
195, 125

Place of birth:
Durem, Sicily, Italy

Current Residence:
Brozen Manor

History:
Edward and Vivian met when they were both in college. Edward, at the time, was on the varsity college football team and Vivian was originally a Mathematics major. Well, when Edward's coach found out 'Eddie B.' was failing a Math class, the Headmaster assigned Vivian to help get Edward's grade back up, and from there the rest is History. Their relationship was quite a rocky one though, because one day Vivian found out she was pregnant with Adam and Katherina and since she came from a traditional Sicilian family her parents were expecting her to marry Edward. Sadly, that's not how it all happened; Edward continued banging the head cheerleader, and Vivian had the twins but continued going to school. Once Horatio caught wind of Edward's shameful behaviour he contacted Vivian's parents and it was then decided that the two get married. At first Edward and Vivian hated each other, but the more they spent time with each other, and their beautiful twins, they slowly fell in love with each other. Once Adam and Katherina were old enough, Edward and Vivian had decided that they wanted to do something without the help of Horatio and Vivian's parents. They both went to Law School together, and ever since then they have been fighting to help make Durem a safer place.


Known relatives:
The entire noble house the Brozen Family

Friends:
The noble house of Lenchantin, The Kuro family, some of Durem's local Politicians, and some of the Judges- Like Judge Fratelli, and Judge Pirro.

Rivals:
Some members of the Crescent family, and some of the criminals that they have put away in the past (which is actually a lot).

Both of them are head-strong, determined, and both of them have passion for, not only their family, but for the Law as well. The both of them make quite a team. . . as both parents, and partners in the Courtroom.

Weaknesses:
Edward is a bit too arrogant, Vivian can sometimes be a bit too aggressive, Edward won't always think before he speaks, Vivian sometimes thinks a little too much. And neither of them take losing too well.

Likes:
To Be Added.

Dislikes:
To Be Added.

Natural abilities:
To Be Added.

Hobbies/talents:
To Be Added.

Appearance:
Edward is tall with broad shoulders, and athletically built- remained that way the best he could since graduating College. His hair is always neatly combed and parted to the side. He never used to like facial hair, but when Vivian told him it looked 'sexy' on him he never shaved it off. He may appear "by the book" and stern, but he actually finds loopholes and has a lot of fun quite often; Sometimes at the expense of a 'Rival Lawyer'.
Vivian is "short and sweet", as most judges would say. Her hair is always in a bun, and she never takes it out unless she is at home and is fully relaxed. Her expression is always so soft but firm, even in the courtroom she keeps it that way. She may appear to be posh and stuck-up, but as you talk to her you'll find she is quite nice and very soft-spoken.

Attire:
Both Edward and Vivian love to wear expensive attire while in the Courtroom. You will never find them without their Briefcases and their folders pertaining their case(s) of the day. But while Edward mostly wears expensive suits to flaunt his wealth and power, Vivian wears hers a little more conservatively. Vivian dresses up in skirts that reach her knees, and shoes that make her look 5'10". Edward, meanwhile, wears expensive Romani suits, Cologne, and whatever else that screams "Fear me, because my wardrobe tells you to!" You'll even find him wearing his signature smirk- Even while he looks like he's losing the case.
