If you're a newcomer and interested in joining, then please make sure you check out the rules. You may also want to read the FAQ, introduce yourself and stop by the chat to meet some of our members. If you're still not quite sure where to start, then we have a great New Member's Guide with a lot of useful information about getting going. Don't hesitate to PM a member of staff (they have purple usernames) if you have any questions about SOTF and how to get started!

I hath revived the trivia thread once again by starting one anew. To those who aren't familiar with it, basically you put any little facts about your characters that you want to include. And I mean any character, v1 or v2.

To start out, I'll have some of mine:

An Linh Tuan

Has had a rather stained elementary school record for numerous accidents smashing up school windows and property with basketballs, hockey sticks, and the like.

Natural hair colour is black, has had yellow highlights, and bleached it slightly before dying it red.

Has two pet dwarf hamsters named Marky and Jean-Luc Miklotov Charleston the III.

Has a weakness for desserts and sweet things.

Mitch Gunther

Is fond of mind-stretching games such as 3D puzzles, tetris, riddles, and board games such as chess, though he has a habit of attempting to eat the pieces.

Can relate better to animals than humans.


Jodeen Kovalenko

Was pushed into trying music by Matthias Kovalenko, and started singing and violin. This is something Matthias regrets deeply since her singing is atonal at best and her violin-playing sounds like screeching more than anything.

Enjoys ice cream and other sweet things.

Is an advocate for human rights and solutions to a better environment. Being something of a fanatic, she goes ballistic at the sight of people littering.

Matthias Kovalenko

While his favoured instrument is the saxophone, with his favoured genre being jazz, he also plays the drums, bass, and piano.



Is all I can think of for now.

Alexander Stevens
He has actually never directly killed a person (he has ordered the deaths of some individuals, but never done it himself).

After stabbing a person a couple years before Pregame, he was arrested on grounds of attempted murder, but it was ruled self-defense and he was let go.

His appearance is based almost entirely on Wuying Ren from Shenmue II.

Thomas Diftre
He and the rest of his family are all boxing fans, and Thomas himself wants to be a professional boxer some day.

Every morning at three o'clock he can be seen jogging through Tilles Court. He doesn't do anything illegal or start any fights, he just jogs. Nobody has bothered to ask him why he maintains this habit.

Whenever possible, he also works out at Bathurst's weight room and the gym in the Rec Center.

He gets very angry when racial slurs are used against him.




That's all I have for now.

Damien Carter-Madison
His mother is Filipina, making both of his last names inherited from his dad.
You know what? His face is that pale compared to his hair!
Despite the above and his twisted mind, he is not goth or emo in the "cultural" sense of the word, though he has yet to be officially diagnosed with any mental disorder thanks to his mom's vehement denials of Damien being anything but a "sweet little boy."

And you know what? It's not makeup!

Damien's mom said she almost named him Dante. That's actually what I called previous "incarnations" of him as he was shifted from fandom-to-fandom (most of such attempts never took off, so he was never really "developed" or considered a full character in himself until SOTF.) At the height of his demon-stereotype-ness, his first name was Dante, middle name Carpathia (after the Antichrist from Left Behind, guess what that makes his mother :lol:), and last name Manson. I mention these separately because he never possessed all three at the same time.

Reneé Valenti
My initial idea for her appearance was that of a redhead Anko Uehara from GTO. Since she is actually American (Italian-American?) she would actually resemble a female version of Axl from the Rockman/Mega Man X series.

Her producer used to be the DJ of a Top 40 radio station elsewhere in the American Northeast. He does not like to talk about how he got fired, but his mutterings suggest something to do with a post-teenage co-DJ. (Hint: LCS, anyone?)

Mitch Gunther

Has a slight red-green colourblindness, thus always manages to get into trouble at the pedestrian crossings.

Once broke into the SUV of one of his orphanage's matrons and drove it a good three blocks before ramming into a dumpster.

Knows all prime numbers up to 1223.

Has memorized all the knowm meridian (points) of acupuncture, though for all his years of searching he has yet to find a willing participant to practice on.

Is brilliant at the school subjects Math and Physics.

Does less well at Physical Education: tends to end up running off with PE Equipment, and dislikes team sports in general.

Though he is mindful than most about health and hygiene, he utterly dislikes being submerged in water.

Is currently banned from the Bathurst High computer lab for taking apart three of the newly delivered computers and pulling out every card, chip, and wire that could be found.

Buries and hides his 'borrowed' items in various places throughout the campus, parks, and orphanage grounds as a way of saving them from certain confiscation.

Is a hypocrite when it comes to ownership. He completely disregards the ownership of the belongings of others but is violently possessive with some of his own belongings.

Matthias Kovalenko
His mood is at its worst in the morning/when he is sleep deprived.
Despite having worked at his family's restaurant, he cannot cook to save his life.

Can't stand spicy food.

Favourite subjects are band, acting, and chemistry.

Possesses a faint scar from a stich on the crown of his head after falling a large flight of stairs when he was four.

Dislikes computers with a passion.

Jodeen Kovalenko

Favourite subjects are humanities, law, and other subjects relating to social studies.

Dislikes biology, can't stand dissecting animals.

Has a huge appetite to satisfy her lightning fast metabolism. Once won at a school-wide marshmallow-eating contest.

Has a phobia of thunder.

Felix Travertil

- Derives his last name from a family who have managed to produce a steady number of people who want to beat the piss out of me, though I changed the name a bit. Couldn't help using it, I just love the way it sounds.

- Is ambidextrous, and switches between telling people he's right and left-handed to confuse them.

- Considers himself to be ataraxic. (Has achieved complete harmony.) In reality, he simply responds positively to stress and crisis.

- His average grade is 50-65%. (D- to D+)

- Had surgery twice on his leg in the two weeks before his introduction, once to remove bullet fragments, once to assist muscle repair.

More later when I create or use the other characters.

Little known stuff about...
NICOLE Carter-Madison
Apart from running for the District Board of Education, she is also the head of the East Coast division of Parents Concerned for America's Schools or PaCAS for short. I recently realized that the acronym is an anagram of ASPCA, which makes it really humorous given that among students, Damien is more of her hunting falcon/lapdog than her son.

Nicole, as stated in Damien's section, is Filipina, inspired mostly by my mother and her sister. Despite being Filipino by blood myself (and living with a family of Filipinos pretty much all my life) it is actually too difficult for me to replicate the visible tinges of her accent into text without sounding too much like a stereotype.

If you want the most accurate version of her appearance and personality, grab a copy of Great Teacher Onizuka (animé or manga, doesn't matter) and watch the lady that shows up after Onizuka takes revenge on some female bullies by snapping photos of their behinds.

EDIT: Picture posted, if you're too lazy to get an issue yourself. :D
Posted Image

So far, Nicole is the only actively RPed relative of a student in v2, as well as the only active non-student character to appear in more than one thread.

Marvin Hendrick
Marvin's parent(s') company Hendrick Industries deals in what is generally "heavy" industry, but is also a defense contractor on the side. A secret project, a prototype "shock" collar for use on disciplining the most violent prisoners in penitentiaries and asylums (and terrorists in Gitmo if they secured the right contract), was recently shut down after it bore remarkable similarity to the explosive collar used in the SOTF Act, though whether HI intends to even call for an investigation is currently being debated by the Board.

Neither Marvin nor his older brother and heir apparent to the HI throne Richard know about the collar. But one of them is soon to find out.

Zed Foreman
The SOTF adaptation of a Grand Theft Auto OC, used in a webcomic that I ran for about a year. While his appearance remains the same (minus his characteristic scar,) his personality in the SOTF world is almost completely distinct from his GTA doppelganger. Whereas in GTA he is a dishonored son of a once-prominent Mafia family seeking to redeem himself, in SOTF he is a rather innocuous (and vapid?) wannabe skateboarder with a penchant for videogames.

About the only thing the two versions of the Z-Boy have in common apart from their appearance is their unusually high threshold for pain (a GTA characteristic is that the protagonist can actually survive being at the center of more than one explosion and/or on fire for extended periods of time, unless he's incinerated in his car or drowned in certain versions.)

Updates for my first two characters will be edited into my previous post in this thread.

Vesa Turunen:

- Vesa's father is a youth hockey coach in his spare time and had him on skates before he could walk. He picked up his first stick when he was 3; the same can be said for his two brothers, Aki(19) and Tuomas(12)

- In Finland, Vesa is known as "Etsiä Katti," which translates to "the hunting cat." His teammates refer to him as such because he is always looking for something, whether it may be the puck or an opponent to hit. Off the ice, he is sometimes called just "Katti," mostly by young girls. An alternate nickname for him is "Jalopeuralta Kerava" (Lion of Kerava) in reference to his hometown and his long hair.

- Vesa has kept his hair long since he was 10, only trimming it when it got to his waist a few months prior to his acceptance into the exchange program.

- At Franklyn, he got into a fight with one of the captains on the football team and put him in the hospital for three days. He was suspended from school for five days afterwards; other than that, Vesa has stayed out of trouble.

- Favorite subjects: Science, history and American girls ;)

- Vesa is the vice-president of Franklyn's Language Club, which meets after school twice a week in order to study languages and cultures from around the world. (Naturally, the president let him lead the club when they covered Finland.)


Peter Rosenthal:

- Peter and his family are avid New York Giants fans and have held season tickets since he was born. His mother cannot afford them on her own but he has an uncle that has a package.

- In his first semester at Hobbsborough, Peter was suspended for a grand total of sixteen days after various fights and altercations; every single one being the result of provocation with anti-homosexual taunts and comments.

- Peter is a movie buff and will watch just about any kind of film if he thinks it's good or if someone recommends it.

- Peter is known to his friends as "P-Diddy"; the origin of the nickname is unknown.

- Favorite subjects: Any kind of social science and English, namely writing.

- He has an exquisite memory, but rarely cares enough to pay attention to his teachers.

Blake Ross

- Has played on many different sports teams but has never been interested enough to stay with any one.

- Is a big fan of Stanely Kubrick films.

- Is a left-wing fanatic being nearly communist and somewhat of a conspiracy theorist.

=O I forgot

Kayla Ravoy-

Was based off of three different girls I know, one for appearence, one for personality, one for the way she thinks of me (How Kayla thinks of Felix)

Her name came form the girl I based her appearance off of, (Thinking on it now, she looks like that one chick off Gilmore Girls... I don't know who, I don't watch it.) and from a guy I used to work with for the last name.

I hate playing a girl and she'll be the only time I ever attempt it.

Jameson Doeert-

Was originally named Johnathan and Johnson, but there's already too many John's on this island. In that respect, his last name was a play off of 'Doe', making him 'John Doe', as in concept he was just an excuse for me to write a death.

I based his appearence after this metro guy who bragged on a message board about having sex a lot or something.

Darren Oaklen-

I didn't even notice at the time, but he shares the name of my ex's ex. Now I can't help but hate him.

I originally designed him so I could RP someone very stressed but capable, but my heart wasn't in him since I attempted his intro.

Andi Ayala:

-Has a tendancy to respond to his dad's spanish by speaking english, then his dad responding to his english in spanish.

-Is an avid Muppet Show nut.

-He doesn't suffer hangovers, instead he just wakes up as drunk as he was when he was awake.

-Is racist, in a comedic way.

-Can quote Albedo from Xenosaga. He admires his sanity, or lack thereof.

-Can play the flute.

Kristey:

-Hates Andi, but wants siblings.

-Prefers violin to piano, but never had time to learn.

-Is nice to Damien because-- *PUNCH*
"You tell them and I swear to god, I'll fucking kill you," she screams as she readies the baseball bat.
"I'd listen to her, if I were you," Andi says.

And I'll follow that advice.

Whitney Acosta:
- Has a Bernese Mountain Dog by the name of Drake that was featured in the retired forum's "Dancing with the Devil" post.

- During pre-game, I toyed with the concept of setting up a sort of fling between Whitney and Colton, but trashed the idea because I thought that there were already more than enough male characters involved in some way with her.

- Favorite color is blue.

- Is quite partial to comedies, namely romantic ones. Her favorite movie of all time is "Never Been Kissed".

- Adam Sandler is among her favorite actors.

Ricky Callahan:
- His appearance is based off of a high school crush of mine that shares the same first name. However, nothing beyond the name and appearance is similar between the two.

- Favorite color is also blue.

- His younger brother, Matt, is sixteen and was originally intended to be a playable character in Version II, however, I threw out the idea at the last minute.

- Is #27 on the baseball team.

Ali Grayston:
- Ali was actually designed purely because I thought Bathurst was getting ridiculous with all the gang members popping up. Ali and the Sisterhood were an attempt at leveling out the playing field a little, so to speak, because with all the gang members, the school seemed downright trashy.

- Ali and the Sisterhood were my answer to 72 Hours' Brat Pack.

- Ali was originally based heavily on Ayane and Brynn from 72 Hours.

- I originally considered calling the Sisterhood, "The Brat Pack", but thought it was far too obvious a reference. The Sisterhood, instead, was mildly inspired by X-Men's "Brotherhood" group.

- Ali was originally intended to be nothing more than an elitist, Queen Bee character. However, Riser had no plans with Gregg, and Ali seemed too flat, so we worked out the Gregg/Ali storyline, which, by the way, is one of my personal favorites.

- This may or may not come as a surprise, but Ali's favorite color is pink.
