History: Wes grew up in Denver, and fell in with the wrong crowd at an early age. he was always at odds with his parents, and by age 16, left home one day, and just never came back. He was recruited by a small-time gang and drug ring shortly thereafter when he beat a group of three of their members in a brawl they had started to try and get him to go away so they could make a deal. He stayed with the other members, or broke into vacant apartments.

After two years of that life, he was betrayed by his fellow gangmates, and left for dead alone in the territory of a rival gang. That night he was beaten until he lost consiousness. it was the last time he ever slept. The next morning he woke up, still battered and bruised, in the hotel. He was told of the Phone Booth, but quickly lost interest. he had no intention of going back where he came from. The Oasis, on the other hand, peaked his interest immediately. He set out for it, and less than three days after departing, wandered into the traps of the Dream Zone. There he spent 5 years as the plaything of the creatures that inhabited the Zone, his charm keeping him from losing consiousness. He finally escaped, and returned to the hotel, and now has trouble venturing more than 2 miles away from there.
Charm: An earring that makes him constantly in a state of perfect awareness, unable to sleep or be affected by drugs of any nature.

Gaia name: Anex de Great
Character name: Joanna "Jo" Kirkland
Age: 19
Appearance: 5'3", 120lbs, Jo has always been on the petite side. Although, she has disproportionately large feet that are the cause of much stumbling and tripping. She has mid-back-length, curly hair that is a very dark brown with a red tint. Her complexion is darker, due to her Native American roots. She has striking grey eyes that send chills down many peoples' spines.
Sex: Female
History: It stumped Jo, at a very young age, why other kids could have new backpacks every new school year and she had to use the same one. It never made sense why she had to wear the same pair of jeans until they were so tattered, it might not be legal to wear them any longer. It was confusing when her mother told her that there was no dinner because she was too busy to get groceries. When she grew older, Jo began to realize that she was poor.

Her mother cared for her on her own. She had no father to speak of, and got the feeling that her mother didn't care to speak of him either. Her mother worked as a waitress and a maid full-time, but ends bearly met.

Despite that, Jo excelled in school. She found that where others struggled, she blew by with ease. This only proved to frustrate her, though, when her mother couldn't cough up the money to go to any of the summer learning camps. More frustration and anger came when Jo had to skip field trips and other learning opportunities due to a lack of extra cash. Her pride was just too strong to let her ask the school for money. So one day, with the threat of being left behind again on her mind, Jo snagged the manilla envelope with all the field trip cash in it.

Thus began her career in thievery. She started out with small things, like the field trip money. And it was only out of necessity. But challenges were soon provided by thievery, and Jo loved nothing more than a challenge. It soon became an addiction: Can I steal something more valuable than last time?

During a heist, that of a very successful jewelry store, Jo tripped an alarm. Scrambling with what she had, an on-foot, in-the-air, and car chase followed. It seemed like she was going to get away. But then, a pedestrian (or so she thought) pulled out a badge and gun simultaneously. Jo didn't remember the command to freeze, or even the pain. Just darkness.
Charm: A golden pocket-watch that (if nothing else) keeps track of time in this godforsaken timeless wasteland, as well as alarming the holder when something/one is nearing with ill intentions.

Gaia name: AlisynLuffsJapan
Character name: Iris Greene
Age: 17
Appearance: 5'3", 110 lbs. (Iris is a late bloomer, and just recently started putting on major weight, thanks to her ultra-fast metabolism.) She has skin more on the pale side, but also (formerly) short, light red, wavy-ish hair that she has eventually let grown down to her waist. If she's feeling like making any effort, she'll put it up into some crazy hairstyle, but otherwise she'll just leave it as it is. Or maybe a ponytail occasionally. She has dark green eyes. Iris often wears cutish clothes but will really wear just about anything.
Sex: Female
History: Iris always wondered if she was just a bit mentally retarded. For she never seemed to see things the way other people did. She was often a blonde and a bit slow, but her grades in school were saved by her astounding memory (which only works if she calls on it) and her amazing test-taking skills, and so she was known as a smart girl. To her friends, Iris was an adorable girl who never grew up past the age of 12 (which Iris sincerely wishes was true). She could always cheer people up, because she was too awkward to be serious. She just acted crazy and made jokes about everything. She is led by emotions.
But then there was her total opposite side, the one that had grown up too fast. This side's emotions were easily affected by the littlest things, most of them negative, which lead to her thinking in a very depressed manner that would have shocked her friends. But despite as it would appear, this side is ruled by rationality, which is why her two sides are always at war. She thinks of life as pointless because people will always be terrible to each other, and her perfectionism can't deal with that. And trying to be perfect all the time--the perfect friend, the perfect daughter, the perfect person--discourages her so much that she just wants to quit.
Why am I talking more about her personality than her actual history? Well, her uneventful life in a small suburb has much less to do with her history than the constant war she led against herself, fighting against growing up with all her will.
One night, normal as ever, Iris was cursing the way of things that would ruin the happiest of moments. She went to sleep...and woke up in the hotel.

Iris tried to enjoy her time there...a chance to start over and fix her messed up point-of-view on life. Yet there was absolutely nothing to do in that freaking place. Not many days after arriving, she retired to her room and rarely left, talking to no one. She spent her time thinking, and then dedicated herself to more amusing pursuits, like observing the actions of the other residents, or just being silly and laughing at herself. But even with this, her childish, happy self has gone a bit rusty without the cultivation from her old friends.
Charm: A hairtie she normally wears around her wrist as a bracelet. It gives her the ability of absolute silence, no breathing, no footsteps. Which she likes...as a child it always amused her to sneak around, especially for midnight snacks and such. The only drawback is that she still is visible during these sneaks.
