Revision as of 07:56, 13 August 2014

Freshmen

Danny-marin.jpg
Danny Marin
Programming Major. Baseball.
Quiet but fiercely competitive, Danny stands out most places he goes without meaning to (indeed, it seems to discomfit him). He and Jerome Tate are best friends, roommates in Kayman Hall, and seem to complement one another well. Though he's a natural hand at baseball, the thing he truly loves is programming - unfortunately, his math and other academic skills aren't nearly the equal of his athletics skills, so he has to work pretty hard at it.
Ep 101: Danny was hanging out with the crew at Warner's Loft the night before school began. He accompanied Thomas and Warner to investigate whatever it was that Thomas spotted. When they decided to break in, however, he headed off to his dorm.

Common Locations: University of Astoria (Kayman Dormitory Hall; Student Center, Innis Hall, Athletics Center), Warner's Loft
Jerome-tate.jpg
Jerome Tate
Music Production
Jerome is a fairly shy freshman from Ohio, and quite far away from family. Though he's definitely shy, he tries to mask that with good-natured jests, jokes and witty sarcasm (which only sometimes falls flat). He's got an active social media life, only a small part of which is based around his music production studies. Currently, he'd like to do music for video games. He and Danny Marin are best friends, and dorm-mates in Kayman Hall.
Ep 101: Jerome was in Warner's Loft the night before school began. He elected not to accompany them out to investigate, however, choosing to remain behind. He enjoyed the "post freak out" breakfast that Warner cooked, and then headed back to his dorm, still not sure what happened that night (other than the fact that he was definitely to act as an alibi, if it became necessary).

Common Locations: University of Astoria (Kayman Dormitory Hall; Student Center, Adler Hall), Warner's Loft
Kerry-donahue.jpg
Kerry Donahue
The Artist
Kerry is a freshman attending the UofA on an art scholarship. Her specialty is wood sculpture, and she scours Astoria's beaches for driftwood and pier debris for materials. She is either a bit full of herself or socially awkward, opinions vary, as most conversations with her tend to be halting and one sided. She attends GSA meetings but hasn't spoken much so far, and the question of her orientation or whether she might not be fully out yet is a subject of gossip among its members. Her job at the Student Center's cafeteria allows her to bring refreshments for the GSA when there is unwanted food in the kitchen.

Common Locations: University of Astoria (Student Center, esp the Queer Resource Center, Art Center), her family home in Warrenton.
Renee-mcdonnall.jpg
Renee McDonnall
Anthropology and English (double majored)
When Henry first arrived at the university, he couldn't help but notice the slight girl trying to push her way past a pair of cocky assholes who were "just asking her questions" in the parking lot. True to his nature, Henry convinced those assholes to find their entertainment elsewhere, or to introduce them to his favorite form of (very violent) entertainment. Since then, Renee has sort of attached herself to Henry, who calls her "Snips," a Star Wars in-joke that she finds delightful. Though the young woman is obviously bright (a fact that anyone can obviously see) and has some degree of talent for the field of anthropology, her shy and very back-of-the-class personality seems to hold her back, despite Dr. Litchfield's encouragement.

Common Locations: University of Astoria (Reyes Dormitory Hall; Student Center, esp the UofA Queer Resource Center, Library, Towler Hall, Richmond Science Center), Kaffe
Sophie-cooper.jpg
Sophie Cooper
Art; Cross Country
Though only seventeen, Sophie is a bright young woman who is taking a handful of classes at UofAstoria as part of her senior year at Astoria High School. Her adoptive guardians are Casey and Esmer, a married pair of body modification artists who own the shop called Keepsake Tattoos in City Center; her relationship with them is more like that of friends than parents, given they aren't quite ten years older than she is. Sophie is a bright student and talented artist, with an avid interest in anthropology.

Common Locations: University of Astoria (Art Center, Library, Richmond Science Center), Keepsake Tattoos (including the apartment above it where she lives).
Teresa-cantu.jpg
Teresa Cantu
Major Undecided
Teresa has almost always been in trouble, it seems. Raised by a single mother who worked as a dispatcher with the Astoria PD, it seems like she was always getting into trouble. Because her mother was one of theirs, however, the local cops tried to avoid putting her through the system for her behavior, and several of them sort of took her under their wing, particularly Cliff Jelo, who became something of a father figure for the girl. As a result, Teresa ended up spending lots of time at the Jelo residence. She's now in university, but old habits die hard, and she's managed to fall in with some folks who tend towards a slightly more troublesome outlook on life, including one Thomas Craig. She is fascinated with Thomas's stories about his rowdy days in LA as a kid, and sometimes pushes for demonstrations over stories.
Ep 101: Teresa texted Thomas while he was investigating the UofA Athletic Center with Warner, insisting that he come to the Crossroads. When he arrived, she proceeded to swoon over Jace all night, despairing in his eventual interest in Aedia Randall and her sorority sisters.

Common Locations: University of Astoria (Bendall Dormitory, Room 207; Student Center, Library, Main Quad), Warner's Loft, the Crossroads

Sophomores

Carlie-banks.jpg
Carlie Banks
Anthropology Major, Journalism Minor (Sophomore); Waitress at the Wet Dog Cafe
A young woman who has clearly seen a lot of strange things, Carlie has something of a meek, sensitive demeanor. She's well-liked at the Wet Dog, however, and considers it something of a second home. She attends the University of Astoria, like her housemate Elizabeth. Though she was originally a journalism major when the school was Clatsop Community College, she has since switched her major to Anthropology.

Common Locations: Her house in City Center (shared with Elizabeth Chien and two others), University of Astoria (Richmond Science Center, Columbia Hall), Wet Dog Cafe
Harris-clayton2.jpg
Harris Clayton
Mathematics Major
A math major, Harris is a notably bright student. He's got a reputation as someone who's a bit stuck-up; Harris tends to keep to himself a lot, focusing on his studies when he's not working out in the gym (though he doesn't play any formal sports) or doing free-running.

Common Locations: University of Astoria (Redhawk Dormitory Hall; Innis Hall, Athletics Center, Library)
Sandy-roberts.jpg
Sandy Roberts
Sociology Major
Sandy grew up in Yakima WA and comes from good solid redneck stock. As a kid, she found a show called Will & Grace, that she found hilarious. She is convinced that gay men are universally smart and funny and wished she had some gay friends of her own. She was always sad that there weren't any in her town (or so she thought), and was thrilled when she was able to get in to Astoria University. While she may be horribly ignorant, she is incredibly open and fascinated by gay culture. She is sometimes sad that she is not gay herself. She has been heard telling her friends she would consider being gay, if she "didn't like cock so much". She is an enthusiastic supporter of the GSA and has been known to shake her ass to the music when she gets the chance

Common Locations: University of Astoria (Garza Dormitory Hall; Kant Hall, Student Center, esp the UofA Queer Resource Center, Library), Crossroads
Zane-connley.jpg
Zane Connley
Literature Major (Sophomore); member of GSA
An intelligent young man who does occasional drag in Portland (and on the rare "drag night" at the Crossroads) as "Edie Couture", Zane's presentation have become less shy and more flamboyant the longer he's been away from his small Washington hometown.
Ep 101: Zane had some pretty damning things to say about the ATO frat, warning someone else at the GSA meeting that they were "homophobic assholes," some of whom had chased him and thrown things at him last year after he'd performed in drag at the Crossroads.

Common Locations: University of Astoria (Kayman Dormitory Hall; Student Center, esp the UofA Queer Resource Center, Towler Hall, Adler Hall), the Crossroads, Kaffe

Elizabeth-chien.jpg
Elizabeth Chien
Marine Biology (Junior); Waitress at the Wet Dog Cafe
Elizabeth waits tables part-time; she spends the most of the rest of her time studying marine biology at the University of Astoria.

Common Locations: Her house in City Center (shared with Carlie Banks and two others), University of Astoria (MERTS, Richmond Science Center), Astoria Chinese Community Center, Wet Dog Cafe
Linda-dennison.jpg
Linda Dennison
