Social status: Upper class
Traits of Voice
Accent (if any): East English
Language spoken: English
Other languages known: Dutch
Style of speaking: Marty tends to speak purely as a professional to the vast majority of people, rarely straying from the topic at hand and rarely wasting breath on anything he deems irrelevant. He doesn't do small talk or friendly chatter, and when he does lose his professional tone, it's out of anger or frustration. When talking to Leah, Marty takes on a gentler and friendlier tone, but often just ends up sounding tired more than anything else.
Volume of voice: Mostly medium-low, but can be loud when he has to be.

Weight: 117 lbs

Skin colour: White
Shape of face: -
Distinguishing features: His ears stick out a bit.
Build of body: Scrawny
Hair colour: Auburn
Hair style: Short, combed or brushed flat and neat when he has the energy, time and motivation, but otherwise left in whatever mess he'd made of it in his sleep or after running a hand through it in stress.
Posture: Straight, though he tends to hunch when sat down.
Tattoos: None
Piercings: None
Typical clothing: Plain tops, often layered under flannel shirts, and jeans. He wears glasses with thin, brown frames.
Is seen by others as: Harsh and stern, someone who doesn't suffer fools gladly and who certainly isn't here to make friends. Marty has been considered by some (Nevii) as incapable of human emotion, annoyingly precise and meticulous and ruled entirely by logic.
Personality
Likes: Cats, toads, observing animals in general, science, documentaries of various kinds, exploring new places, sour sweets, cartoons
Dislikes: Mornings and early starts, chaos and disorganisation, anything too gory, especially strong-smelling foods, people fussing over him, being referred to as 'Martin'
Education: Has attended university.
Fears: Bees, abandonment
Personal goals: Marty has no real goals in his life. He's already fairly successful and has enough money to support himself, his 'sister' and his toads. He tends to go through life on autopilot, not really giving much thought to anything, and is unaware he has a mental illness until it becomes severe enough that he tries to take his own life. His main aspiration in life is to acquire more knowledge and support his friends in their goals.
General attitude: Marty is very anti-social and somewhat bristly. He tends to act like others are not worth his time. He has a somewhat numbed attitude and rarely shows any strong emotion. He has issues with trusting others or allowing himself to get close to people.
Religious values: Protestant
General intelligence: Marty is considered to be very intelligent. He is very academically minded.
General sociability: Low. He dislikes interacting with others.
Health
Illnesses (if any): Depression (high-functioning), undiagnosed
Allergies (if any): Feathers
Sleeping habits: Marty often stays up late working and doesn't get nearly enough sleep. He has occasional bouts of insomnia.
Energy level: Low. Marty's manner is often somewhat robotic.
Eating habits: Marty is a chronic undereater and almost never eats in front of others. He has no issues with food in itself, but he is aware he isn't eating nearly enough and genuinely fears the judgement and fussing others will direct at him if they realise how little he eats. He already dislikes it when someone comes to check up on him when he's spent most of the day shut away with his work, even if it is the only thing that makes him stop and take a break.
Memory: Fairly good.
Any unhealthy habits: As a result of his depression, or perhaps as a coping strategy, Marty puts his work before self-care, to the point that he'll completely ignore his own needs if he feels anything needs to be done. He does not like to let himself relax and needs to keep his mind occupied, as he feels an occupied mind is a mind that can keep less pleasant thoughts at bay.
History
Birth country: England
Hometown: Norwich, England
Childhood: Marty was born to parents who were very cold towards him. When he started school, he was placed in the same infant school class as Arnie du Jardin, and the two became firm friends throughout childhood. His family moved to Intwood when he was in Year 5, however, for the most part, he struggled to make friends there and tried (unsuccessfully) to stay in touch with Arnie. Despite struggling to make friends, he began dating at age 12.
Teen years: At age 14, Marty changed to a secondary school located closer to his home but that only accepted students aged 14 and up. This school specialised in maths and science. In his early teens, Marty conceived a child, and his daughter, Leah, was born the year he turned 15. His parents insisted Marty have nothing to do with the child, but he still became the legal father on the birth certificate. Shortly after the birth of his daughter, his girlfriend committed suicide. Marty's parents at this point helped to ensure their family got custody of the child and tried to insist they all pretend Marty and Leah were siblings rather than father and daughter, threatening to remove Marty and Leah from the family if he did not comply. Marty withdrew socially, however few people at his current school had the chance to notice or the motivation to do something about it. Shortly after, his parents died, and their deaths were treated as suspicious. Marty and Leah were moved again, and he was forced to move schools once more. He began attending the same secondary as Arnold du Jardin and Neville Bowen, and was even in the same form class as both of them. By this point, Marty had already developed depression, however he did not realise it, and mostly just went through the motions of life automatically. He was not friendly towards anyone, even his own friends, and for the most part focused entirely on his education, often lashing out at anyone he perceived to be a time waster. Still afraid to break the rules his parents set despite their death and despite his foster carer knowing his true relation to Leah, he continued to pretend they were siblings and tell others around him they were siblings. His foster carer tried to get Marty to take proper parental responsibility while under her care. When the time came, he decided to study at Cambridge. His foster mother was supportive of this and kept looking after Leah until Marty was in a position where he could properly support and care for her himself.
Adult years: Marty studied computer science at university and at some point transferred over to management studies. He tended to devote his spare time to improving his performance at university. In his early 20's, he was contacted by Arnie, who told him about the formation of Ham Sushi, and requested Marty's involvement in various aspects, such as image design and song writing. Marty agreed to help and after some further study and paving of his career path, Marty worked as the band's manager. In his late 20's, Marty's depression suddenly becomes severe with no obvious trigger, and he makes an attempt on his life. After this, his friends accidentally discover the real relationship between Marty and Leah, and for a time, they insist the two stay with one of them.
Past places of residence: Intwood, Norfolk, England
History of family: His father is from a Dutch family. Other than that, the family history is unknown and unexplored.
Relationships
Parents: Before their death, Marty had a poor relationship with his parents. Their names were Sophie and Keo Bruederl. Arnie states that he believes Marty's parents saw him as more of a tool to make themselves look better than a son. They often made threats against him, including threats to kick him out if he didn't obey them, which is something that has stayed with him as a particular source of trauma. Even after their death, he was afraid to break their rules, including unreasonable rules designed to make them look better.
Siblings: N/A
Any enemies (and why): None known.
Children: He has a daughter, about 10 years old, however he tells her they are siblings, backing this up with the fact he is an orphan. Marty's friends are also all under the impression that Marty and Leah are siblings. When Marty is away, Leah stays with Arnie's parents or with Marty's friend, Lysander.
Friends: As well as the members of the band Ham Sushi, Marty considers some of the other musicians and managers they've met on tour to be friends, and he has a friend named Lysander who helps take care of his toads whenever he is unable to do so himself. Lysander himself is a fanatic keeper of a variety of amphibians and considers himself an expert on amphibian care. The two met at Cambridge University.
Best friend(s): Arnaud du Jardin. The two are childhood friends and have always been surprisingly close.
Important friends/relatives (explain): Potentially Arnie. When they met the second time (when Marty had become anti-social and unwilling to make friends), Arnie didn't let him push him away and insisted (in a manner bordering on harrassment) that the two become the best of friends again. He is also the main person to always check up on Marty to make sure he's attending to his needs. Potentially his foster carer following his parents' death, a woman named Olympia, as she tried to act as damage control of sorts and tried to get Marty comfortable with breaking his parents' more unreasonable rules and accept the truth for himself instead of living a lie, even if she was mostly unsuccessful.
Love interest (if there is one): Amanda Paterson (formerly), Leah's mother. Amanda committed suicide shortly after Leah's birth.
Combat
Peaceful or violent: Peaceful
Weapon (if applicable): N/A
Style of fighting: He doesn't really have one. He's never given any thought on how to defend himself against violent attacks either. He's never been attacked or assaulted, and for the time being doesn't believe he will be.

Hobbies/past times: Writing, creating and designing light shows and backdrops, keeping an observation diary on toads.
Guilty pleasures: -

Splodge and Splurch are both Oriental Fire-Bellied Toads, Bibble and Wibble are Square Marked Toads, Dunlop and Dolores are Cane Toads and Squidge and Snuggles are Black-Spined Toads. Dolores is named after Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter. He keeps diaries and journals to both keep track of their care and to study them in general. He has four tanks so that each type of toad is kept separate.
Talents: Marty has a discerning eye and can easily detect colours to specific shades and mix and match colours, shades and styles in a good way. He is skilled with various sides of the technical world, including pyrotechnics, computer science and the working of lighting and sound systems in a theatre or concert hall. He also knows the official dance to Hoedown Throwdown from Hannah Montana by heart. He is a good singer, but pretty much will only sing in front of Leah, and even then very rarely.

Social status: Upper class
Traits of Voice
Accent (if any): British, Northern-Midlands
Language spoken: English
Other languages known: None

Eye colour: Grey
Skin colour: Pale white
Shape of face: -
Distinguishing features: Extremely pale
Build of body: Slim but athletic.
Hair colour: Black

Tattoos: None
Piercings: None
Typical clothing: As a musician and performer, Albus' general clothing style is revealing, Gothic and somewhat flashy. His most common performance outfit is formed of black leathers, tight trousers and one of those jackets/tops reminiscent of a bolero jacket? It pretty much only covers his shoulders and arms. He also wears a silver ring on his left middle finger, the kind that is full length with a claw-like point on the end and that bends with the finger. When not in performance gear, he's much more modest, generally keeping himself fully covered and showing as little skin as possible, with pale colours (usually purples and blues), and will wear anything loose and comfortable. He is also often seen in a designer label dark blue hoodie and wears a gold chain necklace with a tiny pendant bearing the Capricorn constellation on it.
Is seen by others as: By those who know him as Albus La Lumiere, he's generally seen as innocent and naive, and as somebody who has been sheltered from the way the world works. He tends to see the good in everyone and is extremely trusting of others. He is also seen as someone who has too many limiting beliefs and who simply just doesn't believe in himself. His musician persona as Tori Swinehart is considered to be quite sexual and wild, as well as somewhat Gothic.
Personality
Likes: Cats, Disney films, spicy food, fluffy and soft things, street markets, nature walks and hikes, cakes and pastries, phone games (especially running/jumping ones and repetitive tapping ones)
Dislikes: His name (he views it as too fancy and floaty and like an old gentleman name), being ill, being alone, porny things and nudity in general, sports hype, horror films, tea
Education: Albus has not yet finished all mandatory schooling.
Fears: Vomit and vomiting, snakes, thunderstorms
Personal goals: Albus has spent most of his life letting others make decisions for him and recognises that he lacks the level of independence his friends possess. The result of this is a wish to foster his own independence without letting himself go wild or causing damage to himself. He doesn't want to get in any trouble. He also feels a need to explore who he is and learn more about himself.
General attitude: Albus is overall rather shy and friendly. He can be annoyed if he receives too much unwanted or embarrassing attention, and will show it in a rather childish way, usually by sulking, and is markedly uncertain about many things and often unable or unwilling to make his own decisions or take the lead in most situations. He believes himself to be unable to do things by himself and is very reliant on others as a result.
Religious values: Catholic.
General intelligence: Fair
General sociability: Though shy around new people, Albus is very open to making friends and interacting plentifully with those he already knows. He dislikes being alone or left out of things.
Health
Illnesses (if any): Asthma. The lean and unlevel shoulders and hips suggest spinal scoliosis or a lean created by poor posture, comfort standing or compensating for an injury.
Allergies (if any): None
Sleeping habits: Fairly normal. He tends to sleep curled up and completely and tightly wrapped in his covers, even on hot nights. As he is currently going through a period of grief, he tends to be quite easily tired out as a result of emotional strain and sleeps more than normal.
Energy level: Neither especially high nor especially low.
Eating habits: Albus generally has quite a large appetite and tries to eat a fairly balanced and healthy diet. He doesn't deal well with missed meals.
Memory: Fair.
Any unhealthy habits: None specifically come to mind.
History
Birth country: England
Hometown: Nottingham
Childhood: Albus was raised in a very sheltered household. He was rather quiet by nature and was a rather sweet and sensitive boy. When he started school, he made friends with a boy who was quite rough and aggressive, though his parents tried to actively steer him away from being friends with him. This may have been for good reason as the boy in question, Jeremy, did end up assaulting one of his teachers in secondary school. The two are still good friends. At age 11, the two met and befriended Neil Leland, a boy who attended the same secondary school as them. Albus found it fairly easy to make friends, though because of his soft and oversensitive nature, as well as his interests, he found it easier to make friends with the girls at school than the boys. He was often seen as someone who needed protecting and who couldn't fend for himself. His parents did not like him making friends with and hanging around with the girls. He was never allowed to have friends round his house or go to their houses.
Teen years: Albus at some point revealed to his friends that he was quite a good singer. They often encouraged him to go up for school talent contests and musical productions. At one point, when he was 15, his friends managed to convince him to sneak out of his house to spend time with them, including general sightseeing and going to a karaoke night with some of the girls. His parents noticed his disappearance and, in a panic, called the police. Considering their upset and panic, Albus promised to never sneak out again. He was unaware that Neil by this point had recorded a lot of videos of him singing, including casually and in school competitions. Neil showed these videos to his mother, and by the time Albus was 16, Mrs Leland, who at the time was already the agent for Three Tin Cans and Red Pen, was interested to know if the boy would be at all interested in becoming a singer professionally, though Neil never asked him. On Albus' 17th birthday, while he was at school, his parents died unexpectedly in a house fire. Albus started living with Neil and jumped on the chance to become a singer. He built up the persona of Tori Swinehart by himself and did not make it well known to those around him that he was a singer. As far as he knows, the only friends of his that know are Jeremy and Neil.
Adult years: All that is known of his adult life is that in very early adulthood, he starts dating Amna Jaiswal or at least goes on a date with her.
Past places of residence: None known.
History of family: Albus' adoptive family originates from France. Both of his parents grew up there and moved to England after their marriage but before adopting Albus.
Relationships
Parents: Carmel and Satordi La Lumiere are the adoptive parents of Albus. They were very protective and tended to keep him closed off from the world to the point where he was completely ignorant to how the world around him worked. He had a very close relationship with both of them and was naturally devastated when they died.
Siblings: None.
Any enemies (and why): None.
Children: N/A
Friends: He spends a lot of time around friends Neil Leland and Jeremy Singleton. Some students at school were fond of him and viewed him as someone to protect at times. He didn't view them as especially close friends.
Best friend(s): Neil. Though he's been friends with Jeremy for longer, Jeremy scares him slightly. Albus is probably far stronger than Jeremy.
Important friends/relatives (explain): None specifically come to mind.
Love interest (if there is one): Amna Jaiswal
Combat
Peaceful or violent: Peaceful
Weapon (if applicable): N/A
Style of fighting: Albus has never really gotten into a fight situation. He would likely have no idea what to do if he ever did get in one. Probably scream.
Others
Occupation: Singer and performer under the stage name Tori Swinehart.
Favourite types of food: Plain biscuits and seafood (obviously not together though)
Favourite types of drink: Milkshakes and smoothies
Hobbies/past times: He enjoys listening to music and singing along to any songs he especially likes, playing games, going for walks or looking around museums, aquariums, tourist attractions of various kinds, and watching films with his friends.
Guilty pleasures: -
Pet peeves: How things are always way more expensive in capital cities and touristy places
Pets: None
Talents: Albus is known to be a talented performer and singer. He is good at games that require repetitive actions.
Favourite colours: Pale colours, especially pale blues and greens.
Favourite type of music: Albus likes a wide variety of music and honestly isn't sure what his favourite genre is.

Childhood: Franklyn's parents were rarely around in his childhood, meaning his physical and emotional needs were rarely properly met. He felt it was his job to keep his younger sister alive and well, and was considered a problem child at school. His parents were absent enough that he hardly remembers their faces. Through stealing their devices, he tended to surf the internet and signed up for a chat site when he was 7, where he met Prince and Dylan. At age 12, he agreed to meet a much older man in Liverpool under the impression that the man was the same age as him, and was rescued by Prince, who came across them and intervened, pretending to be Franklyn's older brother.
Teen years: Franklyn began to use the internet to better his life, conning, extorting and charming his way through various people for money and gifts for both himself and his younger sister. Through his ill gotten gains, he was able to better his and his sister's lives, as well as getting extra leftover money to buy luxuries such as his guitar. Finding himself to be skilled with the instrument in question, at age 15 he proposed he, Dylan and Prince form a band. He likely began sleeping around and drinking heavily in his late teens. Unlike his bandmates, Franklyn was never bullied and was in fact seen as a frightening and intimidating figure at his school despite his small stature. This can be at least partially attributed to his manipulative skills.
Adult years: Three Tin Cans became successful by the time Franklyn hit 22, though the exact time things kicked off is unknown. Franklyn found he had little to no ability to form a proper relationship, as he struggled to process and express his feelings and emotional needs or those of others, or connect emotionally, but had a talent regardless for flirting and seducing women briefly for a night or two of enjoyment.
Past places of residence: None known.
History of family: Unknown.
Relationships
Parents: Franklyn has very few memories of them and most likely would not recognise them if he saw them. Despite having little contact with his parents, Franklyn has met both of his grandfathers and is aware his middle names are their first names. It is currently unknown how, when or why he met them, but he likely met them as an adult.
Siblings: A younger sister named Hannah. The two are relatively close, as for much of their lives they haven't had anyone else, and neither thinks they can cope should something happen to the other. When he is not on tour, Franklyn looks after Hannah, or at least still lives with her. Their age difference is currently unspecified but must be somewhere between 4 and 7 years. It is likely that their relationship is somewhat rocky as a result of Franklyn's drinking and frequent travelling.
Any enemies (and why): None.
Children: None known, however, considering his habits, it is entirely plausible that Franklyn has at some point conceived an illegitimate child, whether he knows it or not.
Friends: Dylan North and Prince Osbaldeston. The band Three Tin Cans is also known to be on friendly terms with the band Combat Dolphins, and the two often support each other on tours. It is likely that Franklyn is friends with members of this band. It is unknown whether or not he had friends at school or has friends outside of members of the aforementioned bands.
Best friend(s): Prince Osbaldeston. He has more history with Prince and accepts that his nagging just means he wants what's best, even if he rarely obeys the unholy nags. He sort of views Prince as an older brother he never had.
Important friends/relatives (explain): Potentially Hannah, as someone he is determined to protect at all costs.
Love interest (if there is one): N/A
Combat
Peaceful or violent: Peaceful
Weapon (if applicable): N/A
Style of fighting: Franklyn is unlikely to actually throw a punch and tends to use various methods of intimidation and manipulation to get his way or get out of trouble. Unless really drunk, in which case his companions may have to help get him out of trouble.
Others
Occupation: Musician, member of Three Tin Cans. He is the lead guitarist and is considered the lead singer.
Favourite types of food: Sweet pastries and anything with cinnamon on it.
Favourite types of drink: Sweet drinks.
Hobbies/past times: Gardening, shopping for clothes, singing and dancing with his friends.
Guilty pleasures: Seeing how far he can get with manipulating others.
Pet peeves: People who say things like 'everyone is entitled to their own opinion' or 'freedom of speech' purely to undermine someone for having a different opinion to them.
Pets: None
Talents: Playing guitar and singing. Franklyn is also highly skilled with computers and computer hacking, and is also good at manipulating others to get his own way.
Favourite colours: Pink, purple, blue and green.
Favourite type of music: Punk rock and alternative rock

Relationship status: Single
Social status: Middle class
Traits of Voice
Accent (if any): Welsh
Language spoken: English
Other languages known: Welsh

Volume of voice: Quite soft
Physical Appearance
Height: 5'6
Weight: 153 lbs
Eye colour: Brown
Skin colour: Pale white

Posture: Straight
Tattoos: None
Piercings: None
Typical clothing: Most commonly seen on stage in a tight, black sleeveless top and matching trousers. He is mostly at home in black clothes, both tight and that allow him to move freely, finding both styles comfortable, as well as smart clothes in earthy tones and turquoise blues. He likes short sleeves, though he can sometimes be self-conscious over the appearance of his arms.
Is seen by others as: Quiet, rather fashion-forward, moody and easily annoyed, innocent, shy, confident and athletic.
Personality
Likes: Chewing the metal parts of hair ties, cuddly toys, listening to music, cuddling, playing with the band, lie ins, fashion magazines

Education: Got to university. Took a commercial aviation course. Possesses a Private Pilot's License.
Fears: Bees and wasps, fire, certain breeds of dog
Personal goals: Dylan feels he has a lot of problems in his life that need sorting out. He wants to try and pave over the cracks in his life, though he hasn't the slightest clue where he could start. He also wishes to be able to build a romantic relationship with someone, preferably someone who isn't repulsed by his skin conditions and spontaneous nosebleeds. He isn't exactly satisfied with his seemingly endless procession of one night stands.
General attitude: Dylan is at a point in his life where it's pretty much what happens, happens. He's easily annoyed and has a noticeable temper, and can easily enter sensitive states but at other times appears to be quite thick-skinned. He's reached the point where he doesn't really care what happens because he honestly doesn't believe he will achieve his goals or find himself in a place where he is happy or satisfied. Despite this, he often acts rather supportive towards his friends and is often trying to push for the best for them, and often acts the same towards his enemies as well, e.g he has no ill wishes towards those who bullied him. He outwardly acts confident and cheerful.
Religious values: Athiest. Dylan is honestly unsure what religion his parents followed. He's never really discussed religion with anyone.
General intelligence: Fair.
General sociability: Low. When he does seem particularly sociable, he is either faking it or drunk and(/or) trying to seduce someone. Or letting them seduce him. He'll pretty much sleep with anyone of a legal age that comes on to him. This is after years of trying to form meaningful relationships both romantic and platonic and realising he cannot connect emotionally or even recognise the emotional needs of himself or others.
Health
Illnesses (if any): Job (Hyperimmunoglobulin E) Syndrome, Anaemia, eczema and Haemophilia A (severe). Depression. As a result of his genetic disorder, Dylan is very prone to infections, especially respiratory and skin infections.
Allergies (if any): Barley
Sleeping habits: Dylan is a heavy sleeper, and will not be woken by much, however he struggles to fall asleep in the first place if other needs haven't been attended to, or if there is too much background noise or light.
Energy level: Usually a little low.
Eating habits: Inconsistent. As a result of his poor mental and physical health, he goes through periods where his appetite is especially low or especially high and struggles to keep his weight consistent.
Memory: Practically photographic. Dylan is the type who can remember the exact wording of something said to him in his childhood and is excellent at memorising tiny details as well as the big ones.
Any unhealthy habits: Dylan frequently ends up having unprotected sex with strangers and occasionally has episodes of binge drinking. Though he often has at least one drink a night, his drinking doesn't cause any massive concern to those around him and he tends to binge in response to a significant drop in his mental state. However, because Dylan can't resist a drink when taken somewhere that serves alcohol, he does worry he has a problem.
History
Birth country: Wales
Hometown: Bangor
Childhood: Dylan was in and out of hospital as a child and tended to have multiple significant health problems, not just related to those listed above. He and his brother tended to be jealous of each other and fought a lot. Because he was a sickly child, Dylan struggled to make friends at school and was often mocked a lot, however he seemed to take this mockery in his stride and often made up his own insults for himself and laughed along with everyone else. After all, from what he could see, playful insults were normal anyway. Regardless, everyone pretty much hated him and he eventually realised this. The majority of attention he was given by his parents was medical, and he primarily felt like he was a burden to them rather than a beloved offspring, especially since it was different to the attention given to his brother. Regardless, because of the amount of attention given, that formed the reason for his brother to be jealous of him. At age 10, Dylan tried to make friends online, and succeeded in befriending Prince Osbaldeston and Franklyn Simmons.
Teen years: By the time Dylan was a teenager, he had given up trying to make friends at school and mostly kept to himself, refusing to talk to other students. He was considered selectively mute. This, alongside his various health problems which caused him to look physically repulsive in the opinion of some of his classmates, caused his previous bullying to become much worse. His parents often complained whenever an issue came up with Dylan, including further medical problems such as his eczema and anaemia, or staff at school wanting to talk to them about Dylan's refusal to talk to or interact with peers. After a while, Dylan came to believe his parents hated and rejected him, as all attention they gave him was negative and even at times turned verbally and emotionally abusive. At some point, his father and brother both stopped speaking directly to him and would only talk about him, often within his earshot and often pretending he didn't exist at all. Dylan began to write songs and share them with Prince and Franklyn as the other two did the same. Dylan passed his exams and promised Franklyn and Prince he would try to go to a university near them. It is unknown exactly when he got his guitar or started flight lessons. Dylan did ultimately attend university in Manchester, where he met both Prince and Franklyn in person. From the time he began attending the university in question, he began trying to form friendships and relationships, but found himself failing and being rejected repeatedly.
Adult years: When he was 18, he and his friends decided to form a band. By the time Dylan was 25, Three Tin Cans had become a successful band, though when exactly it kicked off is unknown. By this point, Dylan had already started to drink and sleep around as a coping strategy. His brother, Dale, though still highly jealous and resentful of Dylan, began talking to him again, realising his behaviour was cruel and that his brother was probably in a bad place. The initial conversation may have been started as a result of Dylan reaching out to him during an episode of depression.
Past places of residence: None
History of family: Unknown.
Relationships
Parents: Donna and Darwin North. Dylan is strongly convinced that they've hated him his whole life in all honesty. Dylan has not had a conversation with his father since he was 15 due to Darwin's unwillingness to talk to him, and has not actively attempted to contact either of his parents since his 19th birthday.
Siblings: He has an older brother named Dale. Dylan and Dale have never gotten on well. Both are incredibly jealous of each other, Dylan of Dale because Dale is the favourite son and gets all the affection, and Dale of Dylan because, even though it was purely medical and there was little to no affection, Dylan got more attention, and later because of Dylan's musical success. It is likely that both boys suffered from emotional neglect at the hands of their parents. Despite being jealous, Dale does care about his brother and often worries about his health. Neither boy really feels they can talk to the other about their issues, and they only really reach out to one another when desperate.
Any enemies (and why): He isn't sure he really considers anyone an enemy as such. He holds grudges against his parents and elder brother to the point that he is very happy to cut the former from his life permanently, and bullying has stuck with him and is something he is still subject to in his adult life, but he appears to have forgiven his bullies.
Children: None known, though, knowing his habits, it is entirely plausible that Dylan has at some point conceived an illegitimate child, whether he knows it or not.
Friends: Prince Osbaldeston and Franklyn Simmons. Throughout his life, Dylan has been unable to make any other friends. He seems to look up to Prince as an elder for unknown reasons and gets genuinely upset when he scolds him for inappropriate behaviour, usually linked to his nights out drinking with Franklyn. He doesn't listen to anyone else's scolds and lectures.
Best friend(s): Dylan leans towards Franklyn as a best friend as the two have a few habits in common and both tend to get scolded by Prince. Prince's habit of scolding the two paints him as more of an authority figure in Dylan's mind.
Important friends/relatives (explain): None specifically come to mind.
Love interest (if there is one): N/A
Combat
Peaceful or violent: Peaceful
Weapon (if applicable): None
Style of fighting: Dylan generally stays far away from physical fights, if only because of slight paranoia over a potential nosebleed that will never stop. The last time he got close to being involved with a fight was at a battle of the bands, where someone hid behind him when someone else swung a punch at them. He ended up in hospital. It was a very strong punch.
Others
Occupation: Musician, member of Three Tin Cans. Dylan works as the bass guitarist and a singer, and while Franklyn is generally considered the lead singer of the band, Dylan has sung lead in multiple songs.
Favourite types of food: Savory pastries and pancakes.
Favourite types of drink: Anything bitter
Hobbies/past times: Collecting small cuddly toys
Guilty pleasures: -
Pet peeves: Bad driving, people making random comments out loud about other people, especially when that person is making their comment to no-one in particular.
Pets: Two hamsters named Giraffe and Pelican.
Talents: Can play bass guitar and saxophone, and is good at singing. He is highly perceptive to the presence of illness in others and can recognise and identify various health conditions, such as eating disorders, with ease.
Favourite colours: Turquoise.
Favourite type of music: Pop punk and dance-pop

Love interest (if there is one): N/A
Combat
Peaceful or violent: Peaceful
Weapon (if applicable): None
Style of fighting: Dylan generally stays far away from physical fights, if only because of slight paranoia over a potential nosebleed that will never stop. The last time he got close to being involved with a fight was at a battle of the bands, where someone hid behind him when someone else swung a punch at them. He ended up in hospital. It was a very strong punch.

History
Birth country: England
Hometown: Liverpool
Childhood: From a young age, Prince was bullied physically and emotionally by his eldest brother and other children at school. As well as this, Prince had an uncle (or perhaps a family friend called 'uncle', he isn't entirely sure any more) who visited a lot. He was pretty sure said uncle was secretly sleeping with his mother. The uncle was abusive towards Prince and Rudolfo, but tended to spoil their other brother, Felix. Prince developed bulimia at age 12 and began self-harming at age 8. When Prince tried to tell his parents what their uncle was doing to them, neither of his brothers backed him up. Rudolfo stayed quiet and Felix actively denied everything. Prince assumed Felix was ignorant to what was going on. Prince was commonly branded as an attention seeker and a compulsive liar before this point anyway and so was not believed.
Teen years: Prince met both Franklyn and Dylan online on a chat room site. He was still bullied by this point. When he was 14, his father found out his mother was cheating on him, and after months of non-stop fighting the two split up. Prince chose to live with his father, as that meant his 'uncle' most likely wouldn't come by again. Felix continued to insist that Prince was a liar in that regard. At one point, Prince started writing songs that he shared with his online friends. He tended to avoid going to school and avoid home as much as possible during his secondary school years, spending his time anywhere he could use the internet to talk to Franklyn and Dylan. His family noticed something wrong with him, but because he denied he had anything wrong with him and denied needing help, they didn't think there was much they could do. After failing his GCSEs, Prince went to a local college to study and had to retake them there. He wasn't bullied by others at this college, and managed to make a few friends, but mostly relied on Franklyn and Dylan.
Adult years: At age 18, Prince started getting professional help for his eating disorder. By this point he had met Franklyn in person and was trying to convince Dylan to attend a university near him. He started to learn to play the drums and continued writing songs with his friends, often now having video chat conversations, probably over skype or something. By this point, he knew the other two could sing and play guitar. When Prince turned 20, the three decided to form a band. After meeting up and getting a feel for their own and each others' abilities, they began volunteering to play at events at their own and each others' schools and universities. While Prince was receiving treatment, Felix admitted to him that he'd known all along what their uncle was doing and that he'd purposely lied for two reasons. To keep out of trouble (because the uncle might have turned on them if Felix had supported it and they'd still not been believed) and to keep being the uncle's favourite and the one he spoiled. Prince punched him in the face and decided to never talk to his brother again. Prince's therapist is currently helping him with his emotional and social problems.
Past places of residence: None
History of family: Unknown
Relationships
Parents: Serena and Alfonso Osbaldeston. Prince has an extremely poor relationship with both of them, but is closer to his father than his mother regardless, because he accepts his father does care for him and did want to protect and help him. Alfonso just wants his sons to be able to smile again.
Siblings: Prince has two older brothers named Rudolfo and Felix. The brothers rarely got on and Rudolfo had a habit of bullying both his brothers and classmates. He rarely got in trouble for it. Prince holds definite feelings of resentment towards Rudolfo. He doesn't speak to Felix any more, as he feels deeply betrayed by him. He will speak to Rudolfo on occasion, though these 'conversations' are three words exchanged at most.
Any enemies (and why): This so called 'uncle' of his. Prince honestly doesn't remember the man's name. He hates him for obvious reasons. And because he feels so betrayed and let down by his brother, Felix, Prince considers him someone who will always be on his bad side. He also holds levels of resentment towards the parents of Dylan North and Franklyn Simmons for their mistreatment of his friends, and the same levels of resentment towards his own mother.
Children: None.
Friends: Franklyn Simmons, Dylan North and a few people he met at college. He is also acquainted with members of the band Combat Dolphins, and the two bands have a friendly relationship, although Prince appears to be somewhat intimidated by the Americans.
Best friend(s): He considers either Dylan or Lorena, one of the girls from university, his closest friend. He prefers Dylan over Franklyn as Dylan is the more sensible of the two.
Important friends/relatives (explain): None specifically come to mind.
Love interest (if there is one): Yesenia Greaves
Combat
Peaceful or violent: Peaceful
Weapon (if applicable): N/A
Style of fighting: He is more likely to be holding someone else back from fighting than actually getting involved with the fight itself. Prince has absolutely no ability to protect himself or fight another person.
Others
Occupation: Musician, member of Three Tin Cans. He acts as a drummer and back-up singer for the group.
Favourite types of food: Soups
Favourite types of drink: Hot drinks
Hobbies/past times: Prince spends a lot of his time surfing the internet, writing music and practicing drums and violin. Both instruments were bought for him by his father as birthday presents despite Prince showing no previous interest in them. He likes listening to music and reading, primarily comic books and non-fiction books.
Guilty pleasures: -
Pet peeves: People who try to talk to him while he's reading or listening to music, people who talk too loud on their phones
Pets: At some point, he definitely gets a pug named Starlord. Starlord has to always come on tour with him.
Talents: Can play the drums and the violin and is fairly skilled at song writing.
Favourite colours: Egg shell
Favourite type of music: Pop punk
