User ImageName: Lauren Granger
Alias: Thorn
Age:17
Birthdate: October 30, 1988
Height: 5'11''
Weight: 120
Former Occupation: Pickpocket, shoplifter, aquisitioner of antiques a.k.a. valuable trash
Likes: Comics, 90's bands, food, intimidating people, art, knives, money, her stuffed moose
Dislikes: Her father, the rich, starving, bugs (yet can tolerate them), rats, politics, legal officials, most drugs (she has tried most while on the streets or else be considered the weak one and therefor attacked), alcohol
Personality: Lauren has a grating personality towards most people. She can come off as rough and intimidating, especially once she decides that she dosn't like a person. She tends to not give people who seem to be well off a chance while sympathising with those who have suffered. The people that she does befriend she is incredibly loyal and helpful towards. Those who are made into enemies she will torment as much as possible.
Disorders: Lauren can tend to be a packrat and a kleptomaniac. She has developed the habit of stealing anything she can while on the streets so much to that it has become an ingrained habit. She has also developed the habit of constantly lying so much she could be considered a pathelogical lyer. There are people she can be totally truthful towards but those are the people who have accomplished the remarkable (and nearly impossible) task of earning her complete trust and loyalty.

User ImageLauren has led a hard life, that much is aparent. She dosn't reveal much about her life before she ran away because of how much she strives to kill that part of herself.
Once Lauren's mother died her father was left to take care of her. He sank deep into depression and alcoholism, transforming into an abusive monster. Lauren couldn't go out with friends, she couldn't wear the clothes she wanted and she was constantly made to do chores while he sat around and drank. He was always worse when he was drunk, taking his inner anger and rage out upon Lauren with violence and abuse.
The last day Lauren lived that life, she snuck out to go to the movies with friends. She came back to a drunken monster who was awaiting with a belt. He beat her severly and burned her upper arm five times with a cigarette. Lauren still has those five scars.
Lauren left her home forever, with a few outfits, a box of twinkies, her iPod she earned through her fast food job, a blanket and pillow, and her stuffed moose (which was given to her by her mother when she was little). She stole her dad's wallet when he passed out on the couch and used that money to buy a bus to L.A.
When she got off that bus, she had no clue that her next year would be total hell. Her iPod was stolen, her blankets soiled and moldy, her clothing torn to shreds. She had to cut the beautiful blonde hair that was down to her knees within a month of living on the streets to get rid of the matts and tangles that had formed when she had lost her brush. All her money was spent on the bus ticket so she was forced to find other ways to get by.
She was stealing food from a gas station and nearly caught by the police. Two fellow runaways spotted the near arrest and helped her escape to their hideout. She then was adopted by the learned couple and given the name thorn because she had fallen in a rose bush running away from the cops. From then on her life was nothing but stealing to eat as well as paying dues to her friends and running.

Lauren tired of this life when a three day old newspaper flew into her face causing her to trip. She looked down and saw an advertisement for a job circled in red. The job seemed interesting, free room and board on a far away tropical island with some pay. Imediately she thought this could be her big break.
She scrounged up some change for a payphone and called for the job...

[see below post for more Lauren's past stories.. Warning, she has had a horrible life while on the streets as most kids do when they run away so if you are highly sensitive you may not want to read them. I've glazed over things as much as I could though, not going into gruesome details or in depth about those things.]

User ImageUser Image Doctor Moreau is awesome! Everyone hates him but I don't see why, this island does lots of great things like. . . well let's just say he makes people see eye to eye with my pain. I'll probably never tell him but he's like the father I never had. Right now, he provides everything I need without hitting me around or digging cigarrettes into my ******** arm. I'm currently under his wing, learning the awesome art of science! Hey, beats the hell out of scrounging up food of the streets.

User Image Awen Zyn: I like the girl cause she puts up with me being who I am. We did get into a spat because she fell for this a** that just wants her a** but hey, hopefully she will come back around to being my friend. For some reason, I like her.

User Image Colche has been through s**t loads more pain then I could ever imagine. She's probably the most beautiful person on the island but only because despite her tremendous hurt through the years, she smiles like the sun. I made a promise to give her food but never followed through. I'm such a god damn looser.

User ImageThe Dude is someone most people like, I mean hell in Cali guys like him were a dime a dozen. I hated the b*****d at first, punched his a** down for trying to damn near kill Moreau. He came back and apologised for all that s**t and now things are cool. I respect someone that can take a knock out hit and STILL want to be friends. Of course, I also think he's an idiot for that.

User Image Sabin well he's not really a friend so much but someone who I see around the lab from time to time. He's creepy...it's ********' awesome.

User ImageEmelyn is also not someone I know a hell of a lot about but hey she seems alright.

User ImageKarma I met only once, don't really care for her but then again I don't really hate her. Hell, let's just say I know the b***h.

User ImageHargun seems alright, she'd be even cooler if she weren't up Amaya's a**. God I can't stand Amaya.

User ImageIan is my first injection under the doc's supervision. Yeah, he was an a** that day but I figure I got my one up on him. I'll see how things go when I actually see him again.

User ImageEmerwyn is not actually someone I know so I can't say I hate her. But I don't exactly like her.
PostPosted: Wed Aug 24, 2005 4:36 pm


User ImageUser Image Amaya is someone who I love to piss off. For some reason I just can't stand her. Maybe it's cause she is so whiney all the time about 'oh nooo, Moreau is turning me into a lizard I'm moody now he's taking all these people by force and I hate him' I mean god, get over it.

User Image Ambrose grew up rich, only reason why I hate him to be honest (not that you can trust me when I'm honest).

User Image Jamal was all over Awen at the party. I know they are screwing by now since I never see her. Damnit, I want to punch him so bad and I might just do it.

User ImageAubrey takes all of Doc's time. That's all I know about her and enough to put her a** here.

User Image Timothy sung a song about me being a skeleton. ******** him, not like I can help starving to death most my life.

heart User ImageYellow Mongoose- Cynictis Penicillata
Colour: Yellow mongooses have a huge variation of color ranging from grey in the north to reddish-yellow or yellowish-brown in the south with gradations in between. Southern specimens have a white-tipped tail; Botswana specimens have grey tails. All of their eyes are yellow with slitted goat-like pupils.
Longevity:12-13 years
Habitat: Open country, prefer semi-desert scrubland to grassland in the area of vleis. They avoid deserts, thick bush and forests.
They live in southern africa: User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
Personality: They are extremly friendly social animals living in colonies of up to 20 but also happily co-existing with ground squirrels and suricates.
They are happy communal creatures all pitching in to help their tunnel systems creating whatever suits their needs with tunnels up to 100 entrances.
They are mainly up and about during the day although being out during the night is not unheard of.
Diet: Insects are a huge part of their diet but they also eat mice, as well as birds and birds' eggs. They are hunted by birds of prey snakes and jakals. They seem to not be as huge of snake fighters as most mongooses are but still have been known to be able to attack and kill poisonous species of snakes.

Me right now, 25% BABY! Damn, things sure seem different, and confusing. You know how hard it is to unbutton my pants with those... those.. things on my HANDS! Damn it's hard. And I can't even brush my god damn hair without nearly taking those ears off.
Not to mention how long it took me to cut and sew my jeans so the tail would fit out comfortably. Thank god for safety pins. But my eyes, oh my god I love my eyes now. Always hated the plain brown and now they are so ******** cool! Kind of looks like a goats eyes.

Lauren's MP3 player and music blasting through the walls

This is a list of music that Lauren likes. It's in progress as I am just learning the punk genre. I pretty much am putting every song I catch from punkradiocast.com onto here. This is more of a reference than anything if I choose to look up lyrics.

She prefers the harder stuff but has been going towards all styles. Lauren is not a music snob and still listens to the new styles of punk as well.

Sugarcult- Crashing Down

Slick Shoes- constancy

Circle Jerks- Making the Bombs

Pridebowl- 0% of 0 = 0

Action- Warzone

Contender- Hapworth

Movielife-single white female

Whippersnapper- A New Chapter

Sub- Why Passions Last_

Selfmademan- Le Dernier Argument Des Rois
