[presto] - Heterosexual - Erudite Born - Chose Dauntless
Around strangers Drew keeps a mask of indifference clasped firmly on his face. He would prefer that his conversations with acquaintances be kept short and to the point. Not one for small talk, he would more than likely walk away if a exchange lasted longer than his attention-span allowed. However any information regarding his parents grants him endless patience. He's not generally an impatient person really, but he doesn't have time to sit around on his hands waiting on a lead. Drew doesn't like asking for help or even accepting it for that matter. He believes he can do everything himself and doesn't want someone else getting in his way.
Friends: Drew isn't really a friendly person, he's quiet and prefers to stick to the shadows and fringes when it comes to groups. He also has the tendency to over think things, which something he's trying to get over now that's switched Factions. He's rather proud and doesn't like to accept help - but will offer it due to his protective nature. He prefers to keep everyone at arm's length and mind his own business for the most part. If someone wants to talk to him, they would have to initiate the conversation. Drew isn't usually rude however, just distant and will act polite in front of superiors and people he thinks are alright.
Enemies: A lot of people tend to fall into this category when it comes to Drew. He has a natural aversion to snobs and uptight people in general. Though he's pretty passive when it comes to insults - if any harm comes to his sister however, that's when he takes offense. He prefers not to get physical but he at least knows how to use his fists. Instead of arguing, he prefers to keep a cool head about it and usually responds with something to make the other person think about what their saying. It's a Erudite habit, one he hasn't quite broken yet. He likes knowing more than other people, but at the same time he doesn't like it when others know more than him. Drew doesn't pick fights but he'll attempt to finish them if they get in the way of his life.
Romance: Drew is oblivious as hell - and that's merely an understatement. Though he's normally quite polite towards the opposite gender, dating is something he doesn't quite understand. Girls are literally a foreign language to him, but if he had to pin down a certain 'type' per say, he'd prefer one that were modest but still fought for what they believed in. He doesn't respond outright to flirting but he happens to develop feelings for a girl, he'll try to stick around more. Despite if he has feelings for a girl however, his protectiveness will kick in. If he does like a girl however, and another guy likes her as well, he'd get a little competitive but be more concerned with his crush than defeating his 'rival'.
[/presto]Andrew Dante Gallagher Dauntless Initiate Sixteen | [presto] - Heterosexual - Erudite Born
Em isn't that modest of a person to be honest. Growing up she often liked to call the shots, despite being the younger sister. She's not afraid to expression her opinion and growing up a Erudite didn't change the fact that she's one stubborn girl. However, Emerie was also quite close to her older sister Abigail, whom she looked up to. Emerie can be quite the determined young woman and doesn't like to give up.
Friends: Em loves having friends, though she isn't too popular in school. Those who have been deemed her friends are very important to her and she will stand up for them if it comes down to it. She's not generally picky about who she befriends either, as long as they grant her the same respect she gives them. Though she's not really a people pleaser, she doesn't like fighting with her friends, so she'll often be neutral in discussions - or at least attempt to be. She's rather reliable and will be there if her friends' need her. She takes a little time to warm up to people, but once the ice has been broken she will become quite comfortable with them.
Enemies: Arguing is one of her favorite past times - or teasing rather, if it gets heated things could get rather ugly. Though she may not always tell the truth, Emerie is quite a trustworthy person. When it comes to her enemies however, she has a tendency to strike before stricken. And she doesn't like to be underestimated just because she's a girl with a pretty face. She normally doesn't mesh too well with people who have views that conflict her own and she has a tendency to size up potential threats.
Romance: She's had a few casual relationships in the past, though nothing long term. However, since her sister's death she hasn't really been looking and has been focusing more on improving herself. She can be quite the dork when she's in love but still quite courageous and bold. A tad aggressive maybe…but she means well. There are some amorous plots for her in the future, but whether they'll work out or not have yet to be seen.
[/presto]Emerie Briar Calderone Erudite Fifteen |
[presto] - Heterosexual - Dauntless Born
Andy is what most people would call a late bloomer - and he's still not what people would have considered a Dauntless. He's actually quite the sweetheart - a rarity among his peers and can be quite passive when it comes to violence. He relies heavily on his family when it comes to facing life's problems and can be very sensitive, even to the point of crying, though you won't get him to admit that. However, he's annoyingly optimistic and loves to talk and meet new people. Though he does have quite the adventurous aspect to him, he's more likely to dream about than actually do it.
Friends: Andy has a knack at making friends, or at least he does in school. At home it's a little different since he does live in Dauntless, and they haven't been known to be the friendliest. Due to his compassionate and sympathetic nature, he's a wonderful listener. He tries very hard as well and can be persistent if he wants to be your friend, and isn't at all picky about who his friends are. He does fit into a criteria really when it comes to where he lies as a person, since his traits and his alliances speak two very different stories. He's especially interested in befriending people in the other factions since they live with different values that fascinate him.
Enemies: Andy prefers not to confront people and can be quite passive towards violence. He's quite the sensitive sort and would probably run away than stand and fight. He's working on being more assertive though and wants to be more like his sister and is working towards being able to defend himself. Though honestly he's more likely to be subject of bullying than be a bully himself. Even if he does see someone as an enemy he would still help them out if they really needed it.
Romance: Andy is a hopeless romantic to say the very least but he's also quite the flirt. He's somewhat charming, in a rather dorky way and will usually have something nice to say to women that he comes across. He doesn't generally have a preference towards what kind of girl he likes appearance but he prefers a morally minded woman that stands up for what she believes in. Unlike his sister Payton, he's not faction biased but would prefer to stick around Dauntless since that's where his family is.
[/presto]Andrew Jamison McHale Dauntless Fifteen | [presto] - Heterosexual - Abnegation Born - Dauntless Transfer
On the surface Joss seems like the poster child for the ideal Abnegation person - she's quiet and selfless. Her quietness isn't normal however, since Joss was diagnosed with selective mutism when she was only five years old. It was caused by seeing a traumatic event - but what happened at the event is still the question of doctors. Growing up she was a very bright and eager child. Her father kept her active through several activities - dancing being the main one, but only in the privacy of their blank living quarters. After he died, Joss reverted into her shell and became a timid and quiet child. She was obedient, she was quiet and she was her mother's perfect little porcelain doll. But Joss was from happy, and often restless and defiant of the life she was given.
Friends: Joss is pretty open to making friends. As long as they don't touch her, or she'll try to avoid them. She's very comfortable in a group setting though, unless it's overcrowded. Despite being a Dauntless Transfer, she's still very kind and submissive, but she's been trying to work around the latter. She's never had any siblings so having a sisterly bond with someone could be interesting. Or perhaps even a sparring partner.
Enemies: Unfortunately everyone has someone out there that doesn't like them. For Joss she only knows about her step-father at the moment, but there could be a few others. Due to her pleasantness, she wouldn't really argue with them per say since she doesn't really talk. She wouldn't always put up with it though and work harder to prove that she deserves to be in Dauntless, despite being what they call a stiff. Taunts and teasing do hurt her feelings however, but she doesn't like cry in front of others.
Romance: Still rather open for her. She has yet to find her knight in shining armor but she's hopeful. From the stories her dad used to tell her as a child - Joss has high hopes that her special someone is out there. She'll daydream about them but she would never make the first move. She is far too modest and shy for that. She has trouble communicating her feelings and would rather watch from a far rather than be straight forward about it. Joss is a very sweet girl albeit a little naive so there is room for false loves and one sided crushes as well.

TEMPLATE BY HAYANA OF CAUTION. [presto] A very quiet individual, Gideon has been known to be a man of very little words. His serious and reserved nature has been both a benefit and curse for him throughout his life. Calculating and aloof, he's never been one to give a welcoming presence when he's in public. He is however, exceedingly loyal to those that have earned his trust but it is not easily won. Gideon keeps a biased stance in most situations, he prefers to thoroughly think over things before making decisions. Though he may not be that open of a person, he does have a heart, and he will help others when he believes it is needed. Like all Candor, he is brutally honest and looks down upon the values of the Amity.
[/presto]Gideon Ignatius Stark Head of Candor Thirty Six | friends friends friends Faction wise Gideon is pretty friendly with all of them except Amity. He doesn't think ill of any fellow Candors either and though he may not always act like it. He usually doesn't have any qualms when it comes to making friends and happens quite social among the other representatives and Staff for the most part. Not lively social, more like 'I'm watching you' kind of social with a someone detached feel. However he can be exceedingly loyal towards those who earn his trust and can be a trusted ally. He likes to be considered fair and wouldn't hoodwink anyone. Though he may have thought about doing it once or twice towards the Amity.
enemies enemies enemies Enemies, well if you're an Amity you already have a target on your back. Anyone believing that peace is obtainable or into believing in anything that maybe a lie would generally be in this realm. He looks down upon those who lie and cheat, and isn't afraid to tell them. He's also not fond of freedom that Amity like to exude, seeing as Freedom is never free and therefore a false word in his vocabulary.
romance romance romance To be honest his daughters have tried to set him on occasion, but he hasn't found a woman quite like his Luciana yet. He's very attracted to women that have everything together - meaning they have a job and can support themselves. So he appears to be in the right faction for that, he just isn't that straight forward about pursuing them. He's sort of forgotten what dating was like and isn't sure how to approach the manner. He's very open in this area and would be quite the romantic.

[presto] Oliver has always been and always will be a jokester. His sarcastically witty comments have been something that graced his life as a child, and even though he was often scolded for them, he never quite broke the habit. He's not all that tough to be honest and he was an easy target when he had attended school. He loves making others laugh and isn't afraid to be bold about it. He's a rather optimistic person, even if some of his comments sound pessimistic in view. He's normally quite comfortable around others and has impeccable social etiquette. He excels when it comes to general hospitality and keeps his cool in most situations. He's a very fun loving and normally easy-going individual that likes to go with the flow.

He loves making them, he loves having them and he isn't afraid to say hello. He generally gets along with everyone for the most part. He likes to go with the flow and doesn't generally like the fight. He's more likely to party and enjoys being the center of attention. Anyone is welcome to be his friend, and loves to be called the 'Party King' though no one ever calls him that.
enemies enemies enemies There wouldn't be too many people in this category for him, besides bullies and probably most of Dauntless. Not that he has anything against them, they just have an attitude that he tends to shy away from. He doesn't really stand up for himself and he's always afraid fights will escalate and because physical. He would prefer to agree to disagree, but that's not always possible.
romance romance romance Oliver is a flirt - and he has the tendency to over do it. He has yet to find a reason to settle down but it's not too farfetched of an idea. He has preference for girls that want to have fun, but those are rarely the type that want to settle down. He's not sure what to do with shy or sweet girls besides make them laugh. He doesn't like hurt them, but prefers to be a lover and not a fighter.

Calista and Drewcan I just say....omg, he's gorgeous and I love him. ANYWAYS! I have Calista here. Calista is a 19 year old, Dauntless transfer, originally from Erudite! Her history is a little screwed up in the fact that she may or may not have caused an infamous lab explosion that killed her elder brother. After which her family pretty much treated her for dead for killing their "golden child". She's the top weapons maker in Dauntless and owns her own shop! So, first off, maybe they knew each other in Erudite, or at least knew of each other's families? If he ever came into her shop, she'd insist on giving advice on weaponry, which Drew probably wouldn't appreciate.
They seem to be rather similar. Difficult pasts, death of loved ones, indifferent at first. Maybe they could eventually become friends and I don't usually like to plot out love relationships, but maybe see if they click and have them become something more? Either way, they should definitely thread.

INITIATE INSTRUCTOR
Dauntless

Post by Lucas G. Herald on May 22, 2014 7:34:10 GMT -5
Lucas is one of the current initiate instructors so I think they would have already met if he was his instructor and trainer. Uh, he's not the nicest person in the world and can be quite bitter, rude and usually doesn't show many emotions. He likes to push people and is strict when it comes to training. I could see them starting off neutral and then we could see where it leads? Lucas doesn't have any real friends only aquaintances just like Andrew and I do think they have a couple of things in common. Ah! Lucas was planning on changing factions to Amity too but ended up choosing Dauntless for his family. Something else they have in common. Ha! Maybe they could develope this odd friendship which starts all wrong but then gradually becomes better?
Both of them are initiates although he is dauntless born. I don't think she would mind even if he is a transfer as there is this usual dauntless born vs transfer thing. She is qutie talkative (might be an understatement...), bubbly and cheerful but not the greatest fighter. Seeing that he is more of a quiet person I could see her sticking around and talking to him perhaps trying to befriend him. But beware she can be really annoying until you tape her mouth shut.
Vincent is my 21 year old dauntless born who works as a guard now after having gone trough initiation successfully. He's 4 years older and is actually a nice person unless he hangs around with his fellow dauntless mates. Then he turns on the bragging and being such a dauntless jerk mode. Although he's not really a bully I could see them not being such great aquaintances haha.
Umm....Max used to be a dauntless initiate but failed initiation six years ago to protect his love and is now factionless because he didn't want her to become factionless so he took her spot by lowering his ranking. Even though he can be arrogant, cocky, stubborn and sometimes a jerk he is a nice and easy-going guy. He's working as an errand boy right now so they might happen to run into each other at the dauntless compound or somewhere else. Seeing that he is factionless I'm not sure buuuut I'm open to pretty much anything.

Drew D. Gallagher && Beckett P. Archibald First of all, hi and welcome to the site! :] we’re so excited to have you around OA and I hope you’ll find yourself at home! Alright, moving on. I’ve got Beckett here who is the leader of Dauntless. He’s power hungry, angry, and uptight...but if you ever needed to thread with him for any reason, he’s completely at your disposal.
Drew D. Gallagher && Payton G. McHale Then we’ve got Payton - the dauntless born with a little bit of an attitude problem. She doesn’t like the transfers, and it’s not a secret that she keeps to herself. She’s probably done a fair amount of poking at him to try and get him angry just for the hell of it. Funnily enough, she’s not actually that good at Dauntless initiation, partly because her test was supposed to place her in Erudite...so there’s a bit of an overcalculating side there. I’m thinking they’d naturally be enemies, unless you’ve another avenue you’d like to explore XD
Drew D. Gallagher && Teagan R. Grant Once factionless, but now the head of the security detail and control room analysts, Teagan Grant is extremely intelligent. But more often than not, she hides it behind her attitude and nuisances. She likes to know everyone’s business and considering her position in front of the security monitors all day, she does pretty well. She doesn’t leave the control room very often, but if she ventured out, I’m sure a run-in with Drew might be possible!
forgive me, these all seem a bit random and not put together! But feel free to add/subtract/negate as you see fit! :]

Jinx and him Jinx is one of the initiate trainers so i think they would see a lot of each other. Jinx keeps to herself to so maybe they could be friends later on
Simon and him Simon is a tattoo artist but he goes by red for his reputation Durning initiation to beat someone till they were bleeding. Maybe he has heard of Simon and wants to see what he looks like. Or wants to get a tattoo either one but other than that i don't see much between the two

Calista & Drew
Having them know each other would be interesting, Drew would certainly be more at ease talking to her if he knew they were both past Erudites so I wouldn't mind having them know each other. As for the possibility of something more than friends, I'd like to see them interact as first as well.
Lucas & Drew
Oh I like your idea, normally it takes awhile for Drew to warm up to people in general so it would certainly be a plus for him to know that they're both transfers. Seeing as he would Drew's superior, he'd probably hold a bit of a respect for him to begin with since he wants a good first impression on the Dauntless.
Claire & Drew
Seeing as she's chatty he may try to avoid her at first, as his twin sister has the tendency to talk his ear off as well. So he tries to keep a happy medium by being the quiet one, but I think it would be good to have a friend that was more outgoing and bubbly than he is, since he does want to have more people to talk to than just his sister. Perhaps she can get him talk more.
Vincent & Drew
Yeah probably not that great of acquaintances at all xD I really think Drew would dislike him and be intent on ignoring him unless he really got in his face or said something about his sister.
Max & Drew
Drew would be interested to learn about the Factionless, since the Erudite had a pretty narrow view of them, he doesn't generally judge outright until he has all the facts. I'd also think it would be interesting if Drew asked Max if he knew anything about the Factionless attacking Erudite, since he originally suspected the Factionless had a hand in his parents deaths, though he's a little unsure of that now that he's older.
Beckett & Drew
I can't really think of anything for these two yet, besides Drew having respect for him since he is the Dauntless leader. Thanks for the welcome though <33
Payton & Drew
Ah an enemy, Drew won't be too happy about having one but I think having them be natural enemies would be quite interested. Especially since Drew won't respond to her right away, so having her poke at him would be funny to see. He would never hit a girl but he would probably get quite frustrated with her.
Teagan & Drew
I think Drew would find Teagan's job rather fascinating seeing as he likes to work with computers and likes to know what's going on as well. Seeing as she's formally factionless he'd be curious on how she has transitioned into Dauntless life and attempt to pick her brain about all of what Dauntless has to offer.
Jinx & Drew
Another instructor, I'd imagine Drew would listen to closely to everything she has to say in order to get better. After he warmed up to her I'd imagine they'd be pretty good friends.
Simon & Drew
Drew would be rather intimidated by Simon's reputation to be honest but I do see him getting a tattoo in the future, he just doesn't know what he wants so he could ask Simon for advice?
