Edward Grinner Digby
Age: 25 (26 August 30)
Power: Fruit manipulation
Orientation: Heterosexual
And... Eddie is one of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. He's always there to listen, and likes to make people laugh, even at his own expense. He is a pie-maker in town, working on setting up his own pie shop, but for now he's selling at the local farmer's market. Back at Hammel he was a bit of a partier, but has mellowed out a lot since graduating. He was at Hammel from fall 2001 - spring 2005, and just returned back to Pilot Ridge. Read more of his profile here.
It isn't hard for Eddie to consider someone a FRIEND - he tries to be friendly to everyone he meets, and likes to make people laugh and lend an open ear - and once made he will do all he can to keep them. He is very considerate, very chivalrous, but may hide that fact under jokes and gags. Because he likes to keep in contact with everyone, and listen to everyone, most of his friends know less about him than he does about them, they just don't realize it. Very close friends are possible, but not common.
It's very hard to get on Eddie's bad side. He's not at all quick to anger, it takes a lot for him to consider someone an ENEMY, but if he does get angry, it will be over big issues like injustice, violence, or continued bullying of others. His anger comes out in words, he hasn't thrown a punch in a long time, but could be capable. Most of the time, instead of getting angry, Eddie responds with humor and/or kindness. Sometimes it's a sharper humor, if they're really getting on his nerves.
Because he likes to be there for all his friends when they're in need, and is very caring and friendly, he is often crushed on, though never notices. He doesn't usually pick up on people liking him unless he is interested in return. When he is interested, he becomes very self-conscious around a girl and will fumble quite a bit in word and deed. He is a romantic at heart, and believes in the power of love. He is dating casually at the moment, but isn't currently in a RELATIONSHIP, having left his last serious girlfriend back home after she broke it off. Most of his exes consider themselves on good terms with him, even if he wouldn't necessarily agree. Once in a relationship (or looking for a relationship) Eddie can truly commit to a woman, and will do all he can to make her happy. (Planned romance: Eros Nau, but open to crushers and other interested parties.)

Jennifer Noa Reese
I was meant for the stage...[/right]
Age: 19
Power: Truth detection
Orientation: Pansexual
And... Noa is a firecracker. She's always ready with a smirk, usually with a smile not far behind, and she's quick on the draw (most of the time). She can be very wry and cynical, but keeps a positive outlook on the things she doesn't know. At her core, Noa is an attention whore, meaning she was made for the stage and the social scene, and lives to entertain. She feeds off the energy of other people and reflects it back x10. She's been at Hammel since September 2009. Read more of her profile here.
Noa is a social butterfly, and will really put herself out there to make FRIENDS. She has very little shame, but is also aware that she's a bit of a know-it-all. The more people she is surrounded by, the more upbeat she is, meaning she can get a little hyperactive. She tends to make friends by making jokes and/or flirting. Her blatant acknowledgement of social customs (pointing out when things are awkward or stilted) can sometimes put people off, as can her sense of humor (highly politically incorrect, and often sexual). She also tends to get nosy and overshare things. She (usually) doesn't judge people's tastes, and is known to often utter the phrase "whatever floats your boat" with a shrug.
Most of her ENEMIES aren't fans of her blatant sexuality ("Prudes") or her in-your-face attitude. She tries not to go after people, attempting to be as tolerant as possible, but some things just rub her the wrong way (like people who judge her, people who take advantage, and people who don't care take care of themselves). If anyone ever crosses her boundaries, Noa will snap. She makes her boundaries clear in all things, and will warn her friends if she doesn't want to talk about something. If they persist, she can become snappy, withdrawn, and overall vindictive. If anyone violates her trust, her privacy, or her body, she will attack them at full force. A fair number of her enemies think she's a "slut," without knowing much about her. She reclaims the term in a sex-positive manner, and tosses insults back with a sharp wit and a quick tongue.
Noa will flirt with all of her friends and will often seduce them to be bed buddies, if they're interested. If they aren't interested, she knows where to draw the line. She loves attention, and has a fascination with sex, sexuality, and fetishism, but she is terrified of a RELATIONSHIP. She has, in the past, broken the hearts of people who said they just wanted a physical relationship and then changed their minds. She is upfront and honest when she starts a fling, letting them know she isn't interested in a relationship. But part of her rebels against that, and wants a lover who will take it slow, refuse to sleep with her until they've gone on at least three dates, and will sweep her off her feet. She is very conflicted between her desire for inappropriately rough sex and her secret fantasy of innocence.

Jade Parrish : 19 : Paralysis Inducement -{ OLD FRIENDS and NEW ROOMMATES
Noa met Jade when they were both in Hammel, and learned to curb her enthusiasm when Jade isn't feeling it. She and Vera just moved in with Jade, and are prepared for all manner of excitement!

Vera Mitichell : 19 : Telekinesis -{ PARTNERS IN CRIME and NEW ROOMMATES
Noa met Vera back in Hammel, and they bonded over their love of flirting and their geeky sides. Now they've just moved into Jade's place, and intend to raise hell. In the most Jade-acceptable way possible, that is.

Zack Mae : 23 : Water Manipulation -{ GOOD FRIENDS who share MUTUAL PROTECTION
Noa's not sure when she met Zack, but all of a sudden it was like she had a cool cousin who would let her sit on his couch while he played video games and would watch the stupid videos she found on Youtube. She'll rib him about stupid stuff, make bad jokes, and dance like an idiot in front of him, and will offer him baked goods when she (very occasionally) makes them. She's also an option if he ever needs a 911 call - flat tire, too drunk to drive, etc.

Every once in a while, Noa will think: "Hey, I wonder what the other Noah is up to," and they'll meet and catch up.

Leo Huerta-Davis : 18 : Metal Physiology -{ AVERAGE FRIENDS (WITH BENEFITS)
She treats him like a bro, not a boyfriend, and make jokes about being his sugarmama even though she's only a year older than him. She's like a dude who's actually a girl and who doesn't mind getting naked every once in a while. She may also bug him about getting tested frequently.

Lucy Serrano : 18 : Melanokinesis -{ PHYSICAL ATTRACTION
Noa thinks Lucy is hot, but hasn't yet introduced herself/been introduced to her. If she does, she'll probably point out that Lucy is hot, but not make any advances unless she gets a straightforward sign of interest. (Noa's better at respecting the personal space of some people more than others, and Lucy is someone she wouldn't want to cross boundaries with.)

Carter Chevalier : 18 : Terrakinesis -{ I DISLIKE YOU
Carter is an anti-social classist, who Noa highly dislikes. Yet he is undeterred, and his attempts at flirting piss her off.

River Tseung : 17 : Melodic Animal Manipulation -{ FIRST-NAME BASIS
They've met at various social gatherings, but Noa turns down her meter to 'cute' and doesn't mention a single sexual thing. She thinks he's adorable and he triggers the little girl in her. They aren't close or anything, but she'll smile and say hi. She'll hold back certain topics if he's around, cause he's so freakin' innocent-seeming, but if he ever came to her for advice, she'd be very respectful and try as hard as she could to not make him uncomfortable.

Jay Hersch : 24 : Pasta Manipulation -{ AVERAGE FRIENDS
Noa only met Jay through Zack, but she likes him, and treats him the same as she does his roommate, if a little less familiar. She doesn't realize he's a little bit jealous of her friendship with Zack.

Phoenix Tang : 18 : Pixie Wings/Hallucinogenic Dust -{ I DISLIKE YOU
Something about him she just doesn't like. She's never been a fan of drugs, for one, and he either lies too much or his truthful statements are too awful for her to like him. So definitely not a fan.

Kelly Thompson : 17 : Color Manipulation -{ SOMEWHAT FRIEND who she TOLERATES but is slightly JEALOUS OF given their RIVALRY for attention
Noa and Kelly rubbed shoulders while she was at Hammel, and were vaguely warily friendly. Nowadays they don't search each other out, but sometimes swap 'friendly' barbs with each other when face-to-face. Given how outspoken they both are, each is a little agitated with the other, but neither really have anything against the other. They can endure each other, but in a group they have to be at different ends of the room so they aren't competing for attention.

Renee Hendricks : 34 : Sound Manipulation -{ Ex-TEACHER, occasional ROLE MODEL
Renee was Noa's choir teacher when she was at Hammel, and Noa admires Renee's style, grace, and effortless seduction. She thinks Renee's style is flawlessly feminine and secretly wants to be more like her.

Brooke Llewelyn : 17 : Shapeshifting -{ CASUAL FRIENDS
Noa and Brooke only really know each other through clubs and parties, and aren't especially close, but are very friendly to each other. They see each other out and about, but don't make plans together. Sometimes Noa feels a little responsible if Brooke seems like she's not taking care of herself, but she hides her concern, or tries to casually help her out without being pushy.

Mia Bell : 16 : Weather Control -{ PROTECTIVE OF her, and offering her EMOTIONAL SUPPORT
Noa worries about Mia, and feels that they share a bond. She wants to help her in any way she can, and be there if she has any questions. In a way she feels a bit like an older sister, except she may be willing to share things with Mia that she hasn't shared with any of her family.

Peyton Felix Turner
you're never fully dressed without a smile...
Age: 16
Power: Pheromone manipulation
Orientation: Heterosexual
And... Peyton is a little bit happy-go-lucky. He's undeniably positive, quick to laugh, and is full of energy (ADHD). So far he has only ever used his power to make people happy or relaxed, and has never used it in a stressful situation. He's excited to learn how to use it to get girls to flirt with him, and will flirt continuously, even though he's not entirely sure what he's doing. His power manifested about the same time he finally hit his growth spurt, so he can be a little awkward in his new body, and isn't used to being considered attractive. He acts a little bit cocky sometimes, and can be pretty lazy, but he is willing to look like an idiot to make someone laugh, and is rather impulsive. He's been at Hammel since August 2013. Read more of her profile here.
If you need to get out of a funk, Peyton is a great FRIEND to have around, as his main goal is to make people laugh. However, he's not exactly eager to go out of his way to help anyone if it will take a significant amount of effort and forethought. He calls himself 'laid back,' but it tends to skew toward lazy - though he will exercise for fun if it's something he likes to do, he's also perfectly happy to sit around on a couch all day watching tv and playing video games with his bros. His humor is varied, from silly to dirty, even having a few really intelligent jokes in there every once in a while, and he is never afraid to speak his mind to his peers (though he knows when to keep his mouth shut in front of authority figures).
Peyton compensates for his difficulty in the classroom by being a bit of a class clown in the classes he's bad at and a teacher's pet in those he likes, which can really get on people's nerves. He's got a big mouth, with a never faltering motor, and that can earn him a few ENEMIES, especially since he can be a real smartass. He also can get cocky, and very childish. If he takes the initiative to make someone his enemy, he will hold that grudge until he deems them fit to be absolved. When angered, he has difficulty controlling himself and can be very impulsive. If he tries to avoid conflict, he'll end up taking out his anger on people close to him, but if he embraces conflict he jumps into a fight with no regard for his own well-being and no prior planning. He tried to just avoid making enemies.
Girls. They don't make sense to him, but he sure likes to look at them. Since his growth spurt, he's gotten a surge of confidence that makes it easy for him to flirt with girls, though that confidence is easily shifted away in favor of friendly rapport with almost everyone. He likes to think he doesn't flirt with girls who don't show interest, but he still does, on occasion, even if he doesn't realize it. He doesn't have any experience in the realm of RELATIONSHIPS - he's still getting used to this whole 'attractive' thing, and often friendzones himself out of habit. He will crush hard on a girl, assume she only likes him as a friend, and then feel hurt as she dates other people, until he finally gets over her (which, depending on the girl, can last a couple days to a few years). He offers himself to his girl friends as a constant support, and tends to be taken advantage of for that.

AJ Lane : 17 : Pheromone Manipulation -{ He's WORRIED ABOUT her, and she DISLIKES HIM for it. (Mid-thread.)
At the moment, Peyton is concerned for AJ because she seems really bitter and sad. He just wants to be an open ear. Currently, they are both unaware that they share the same power.

Astley Grace Pyatt
castaways and cutouts, fill it up
Age: 17
Power: Temperature control
Orientation: Heteroflexible/questioning
And... Astley is a generally positive person, who is somewhat shy. She doesn't like to initiate conversations, but is eager for people to like her. She will backmouth you quietly if you insult her, but will attempt to do it out of your presence. Once she's comfortable with a person, she'll share her wry wit and sometimes silly sense of humor. At this point, she's a bit like the typical girl next door. She's been at Hammel since February 2011. Read more of her profile here.
Astley's goal at Hammel is to make as many FRIENDS or friendly acquaintances as possible, though she's not very good at starting up conversations, she leans toward the shy end of things, she can relax a bit once she gets some positive feedback.
She's able to hold her tongue when she sees people she doesn't like, or at least insult them quietly, so she won't be attacking anyone. She is, however, pretty eager to please, so any ENEMIES she has probably go after her because she's a bit of a 'good girl' and makes an easy target.
After her incident where her powers first manifested, Astley is nervous about having another RELATIONSHIP. She does, however, crush very easily. She's easily embarrassed by attention, but when it's from someone attractive, in a vaguely positive form, she stands a high probability of crushing at least a bit. Most of the time this will make her an eager friend, and then settle into platonic friendship, but sometimes it will only grow. There are times she feels attracted to girls, and crushes on girls, and she's still not sure what to think about that. It's exciting and terrifying to her, because she doesn't understand it.

Brooke Llewelyn : 17 : Shapeshifting -{ OLD FRIENDS and Astley is PROTECTED BY Brooke
Brooke was Astley's first friend at Hammel, and therefore can do no wrong. Astley feels totally comfortable petting Brooke in cat form, and totally doesn't get how awkward that would be in human form. Most of Brooke's dirty comments go right over her head, though less so the longer they've known each other. Brooke will stick up for Astley if she's ever confronted, and Astley would do the same but doesn't really need to. Brooke may occasionally tease Astley, but Astley will take it with a sheepish smile.
