Name: Wyatt McKenzie
Age: 17
Sex: Male
Occupation: Student/Unemployed
Financial Status: Lower-Middle class

Appearance: Standing at 5'9" and weighing at 157lbs with a wide frame, Wyatt is a somewhat imposing figure from a distance but if one were to spend even a few minutes with him their intimidation would quickly drop. He's a rather perky individual, almost always with at least a small smile or chuckle waiting in the wings but he's a very expressive sort and tends to exaggerate his features based on his emotions, especially joy or laughter. He has a light caramel tan, partially natural from his mom's side and partially from spending a lot of time outdoors, dotted with dark freckles here and there (on his shoulders and face most prominently). His hair is cropped a bit short, particularly in the back, and is a dark coppery color. His bangs are a bit longer, falling messily across his forehead just above his eyes, and has a couple faded highlight strips in his bangs. Against all of his warmer colors, his eyes are a very prominent green-hazel.

He has a few piercings in his ears, a silver clip on the edge of both ears and a single small loop in the left. It isn't unusual to see him with a couple bracelets or necklaces, but of course they'd be boyish or manly things like blank dog tags. Though he doesn't have any, he is interested in getting tattoos and enjoys looking at those of others. His general dress style is a little casual and a little messy; he wears what's comfortable and what fits, even if it's ripped or torn in places or maybe has a stain somewhere. When he does buy clothes they're usually from cheap thrift stores or pawn shops so a lot of his clothes tend to be old and maybe a bit too big for him at times. He's partial to jeans, hoodies and wife-beaters, but will honestly wear just about anything so long as it's comfortable and not gonna horribly embarrass him somehow.

History: Currently, Wyatt lives with his father, Liam McKenzie, an auto-mechanic, and their four year old German Shephard, Zeus, in Downtown Lynn. His parents are divorced but still communicate and both live in different districts in Teufel Town to keep in close contact with their son. He attends Teufel Town High School, has average B-C grades, and has never had much of a problem with bullies. His mother lives in Anna District as well as works there in a secretarial position; her name is Esther and she has returned to her maiden name Ahmad.

Wyatt was born to Liam and Esther McKenzie shortly after a speedy marriage. The two cared about each other quite a lot, and their son, but the marriage was out of necessity and for future convenience rather than anything else. Times were tough emotionally caring for young Wyatt and when he was about five it became too much for both of them. Esther and Liam split but neither of them could tread too far from their roots in Teufel Town, not wanting to put even further separation stress on Wyatt or make things more difficult for themselves. The case went well and they received joint custody of their son; every couple weeks Wyatt would swap houses and which parent he lived with. There were some times where Esther insisted on them visiting family counseling but for the most part things were alright and both parents did well for their son.

Things were going pretty well until Wyatt was in middle school. The economy was shifting in a negative direction, companies and businesses were downsizing left and right, and labor workers took the brunt of it. His father was let go from his well established place in a repair shop and it took months for him to find another that was hiring. Funds were short and at the time the only thing they could do to scrape by was to penny pinch and relocate to a cheaper locale, an apartment in Downtown Lynn. Considering the state of the neighborhood, Esther raised an understandable fuss but there wasn't much that could be done until things got better financially. Liam was not without precautions, however; he was sure to arm he and his son and taught him how to use a knife for self defense. Esther suggested having him attend self defense classes as well, which Wyatt decided meant martial arts so he signed up for some Akido courses. His dad also decided to save up a good chunk of money and buy a guard dog, a German Shepard, and with a bit of help from family members and his ex-wife, was able to get Zeus proper training for such a task.

Whether thanks to these precautions or through sheer luck, neither of them have had many dangerous encounters; shady, suspicious ones that might have wound up worse if allowed to escalate, but nothing that made them fear for their lives. The only time such a thing came close to happening for Wyatt was when someone he thought was a very good friend of his tried to set him up for drug possession at school so he wouldn't get in trouble. It was an arduous and stressful process but eventually Wyatt was cleared and the "friend" was sent to Juvie when he was about fifteen. Things have been pretty quiet since then, though Wyatt is still careful; you won't see him walking around Downtown without at least a knife but usually he brings Zeus along if he can help it.

Personality: Despite his current living arrangement and financial troubles, Wyatt is a pretty easy going and fairly happy individual. When he was younger he wanted to be in a band but now he just wants to get a job and be on his own/live his life but the economy and where he is in life is pretty tough. He tries to be as optimistic as possible without being blinded by it and he always wants to give people the benefit of the doubt. He is extremely playful and enjoys horseplay just as much as teasing but he would be the first to freak out and apologize if someone's feelings were hurt. He can be a bit clingy, both emotionally and physically, but it's not because of possession so much as he is very loyal and caring and wants the people he cares for most to be loved and know it. Understandably, he has been taken advantage of in the past but he does his best to both learn from it and not let it bother him.

Wyatt has a LOT of energy and needs to expel it in different ways, usually by running, skateboarding, wrestling the dog, or exercising. He does some weight lifting but not much; just enough to keep himself strong. Because of his energy, he can be a bit jumpy and if caught off guard he will end up shouting or back peddling quickly. Being an early bird, usually he wakes up at 5AM without even setting an alarm and usually goes to bed around 9 or 10PM each night. He tends to leave himself enough time in the morning to do his homework (unless they're essays) rather than doing it at night if he can help it and just enjoying the time off from school instead. Homework is the worst as far as school woes go for Wyatt, since he doesn't get much negative attention (though he doesn't get exceptionally positive attention either; things are mostly neutral at school). He's a pretty quick learner and normally doesn't need to be told twice about something. He prefers figuring things out on his own but is not at all above asking for help.

He is both polite and impolite; he will go to honorifics (mister, miss, misses, ma'am, etc) by default and hold open doors for anyone (sometimes to the point of holding it open for a sea of people and not getting any thanks) but he will just as easily belch, talk with his mouth full or do various uncharming guy things without a second thought, likely due to the fact he has lived with just his dad for so long. He's also a pretty frank individual and doesn't pussyfoot around issues; if he thinks he has a good solution to a problem of yours he's going to state it. Despite this, he doesn't like carrying a serious tone for long so he'll quickly try to deviate and make someone smile because he doesn't know how else to deal with heavy situations. He speaks with his hands and makes wild gestures, stupid faces, and the like. All in all he's just a nice, silly guy that maybe sometimes can't tell when he's being annoying but would appreciate it if you told him as much.

Name: Guy Romanenko
Age: 26
Sex: Male
Occupation: Cherry Harvester
Financial Status: Middle Class

Appearance: He has blue eyes and dark brown hair that has a crew cut. He is built like a basketball player. He's tall -- around 6' 10' -- muscular, and his hands are covered in callouses. Otherwise, he looks a lot like his younger sister.

When he's working in the orchard, he wears a hard hat, tee shirt, khaki pants, and steel toed boots. When he's working at the office, he wears a suit, tie, and dress shoes. When he's not working at all, he wears Hawaiian shirts, Bermuda shorts, and flip flops regardless of the weather.

History: Guy was born and raised on a cherry farm in Traverse City, Michigan. His father, Nikita, and his mother, Yuri, named him after a local hero. This, amongst other things, has always made him feel like he had big shoes to fill. Since he was the oldest of three children, he was expected to take over the family business, once his parents retired. When the cherry orchard was sold, he was effectively absolved of this responsibility. He could've done whatever he wanted, but he decided to work at the new orchard in Teufel Town.

Personality: He is as forceful as a welcome mat. He does whatever people ask him to do. It makes things easier for himself, because he doesn't have to put too much thought into what he needs to do next and he doesn't have to deal with people who're mad about not having what they want done done. He'll complain about things, but he'll still do them. When he can't do something, he'll just delay doing it. He never says no. He is also a raunchy man who engages in horseplay, makes fart jokes, tries to grope or upskirt women, etc.
