---

Name: Alfred Richardson

Nicknames: Kaz, Kazoo, Alfredo, Alfie.

Age: 17

Sexuality: An enigma

Parents: Chad and Mallory Richardson

Playby: Sterling Knight

Personality traits: Ridiculous, childish, virtuoso, dedicated, stubborn, obnoxious, annoying, generous, fun-loving, goofy, rarely serious, innocent, overdramatic, creative, easy to impress, musical, attention hog,

Attends Metric?: Yes

Predetermined Relationships: He and his siblings were always made to hang out with the Summers, so as a result he knows Brooklyn Summers. He likes to bother her and play his kazoo around her, even going as far as trying to give her a kazoo as a present one time. Chad theorizes that Kaz has a crush on her, but Kaz doesn’t have the typical blush-faced reaction when accused – he just denies it and says he wants Brooklyn to be his friend (very badly apparently) and is off put when she will associate with Dylan over him. when she gushes about how attractive his older brother is, or gives Coop a prolonged stare, Kaz tends to pout overdramatically and/or blast his kazoo in her face until she stops. He’s close friends with Isla O’Neal, after he annoyed her enough, she eventually relented and allowed him to become her personal pest.

Siblings: Cooper Richardson, Dylan Richardson, Delaney Richardson.

Brief Character Summary: Kaz has always been kind of an oddity. He seems to only have focus for one thing and that’s music – most specifically for the kazoo, though he does have a talent for the piano (for which he is at Metric). He can pick up almost any instrument and wield it well, he’s a natural. While he, at times, displays having intelligence similar to his older brothers he often only uses these bursts of genius to find him loopholes and to get him out of trouble. Or, often, he uses it to help him find excuses to play his kazoo. He’s very overbearing and loves people, and most people say he takes more after his father than his mother because of how ridiculous he is. While he does have the Richardson good looks, and resembles his father and brother physically, Kaz is not a flirtatious person and instead seems to hold little to no interest for flirting or sex at the moment. Kaz loves his family and is closest to his father – who was always encouraging about his odd interests and personality when everyone else grimaced or tried to tell him to ‘be normal’. He loves his mother and siblings a lot as well, and looks up to Coop even though he knows he annoys his older brother more than he shines to him.

Backstory: Kaz was conceived after the reunion when Chad and Mal began talking to one another. He was unexpected, but not unwelcome. Chad was excited at the prospect of raising a baby and becoming a regular part of Mal and Coop’s life again. From a young age, Kaz was always... odd. His mother named him Alfred after Alfred Hitchcock, but Chad always called him Alfredo (like the cheese sauce) instead. Kaz was always a loud kid and didn’t like to be ignored. When he was about 6, he was given a plastic kazoo from a vending machine and fell in love. He proceeded to play his kazoo all over creation, his obsession warranting him to earn the nickname ‘Kazoo’ and then subsequently, ‘Kaz’. Though he annoyed most of his family and friends with his wild kazoo playing, they never deterred him from it, mostly because Chad wouldn’t allow it. Chad was always encouraging of Kaz’s hobbies and interests, allowing his son to play any instrument he liked. The only instrument slightly on par with his love for the kazoo was his love of the piano, an oddly somber instrument despite Kaz’s ridiculous personality. Chad worked with Kaz to get his audition sent to Metric and he was accepted. Unlike his older brother Kaz seems to have no intention of setting foot in the RichCorp business – instead focusing on some form of musical performance. Every year, Kaz tries to get a ‘kazooing’ major to start – and fails – but when he actually takes his piano seriously, he does amazingly well and thus is still kept in Metric despite his annoyingly desperate pleas to get kazooing to become its own degree.

Name: Dylan Richardson

Nicknames: Dylan, Dyl, Dyllie.

Age: 16

Sexuality: Lesbian; closeted.

Parents: Chad and Mallory Richardson

Playby: Elle Fanning

Personality traits: Sweet, feminine, smart, family-oriented, people pleaser, patient, manipulative (when she wants to be), well-read

Attends Metric?: Yes, for acting.

Predetermined Relationships: She’s always hung around the Summers, so as a result she’s acquainted with Brooklyn Summers. Dylan likes Brooklyn and being around her – when paired with Brooklyn, Dylan tends to be more of a ‘yes girl’ to her. She acts almost like a little minion to keep in Brooklyn’s good graces. When with Brooklyn, Dylan tends to get annoyed by Kaz more easily (though she still loves him deep down).

Siblings: Cooper Richardson, Kaz Richardson, Delaney Richardson.

Brief Character Summary: Dylan has always been the most harmless and small of the Richardson kids. The first girl, Dylan was babied by her parents and grew up somewhat sheltered. She loves feminine things, like shopping and makeup, and she is especially fond of her stuffed animals collection and novel collection. Despite her innocence though she is not above exploiting it – for example as a child if someone would tease her brother Kaz on the playground at school, Dylan would push the bully off of the tire swing and then pretend like the accuser was shoving her around. Because of her ability to cry on cue and skills as an actress working well with her reputation, she can get away with many things. She is sweet and loves people, but loves her family the most and is not above using her underhanded tricks to punish anyone who brings them harm. She’s always disliked her name because it’s too ‘boyish’, and often tells her friends to call her Dyllie which has a more feminine ring to it. However her family still calls her Dylan and she’ll respond to it – she just wishes it was more feminine a name like the one her sister got.

Backstory: Dylan was conceived on the honeymoon of Mallory and Chad, unexpected, but not unwelcome much like her brother Kaz. Dylan lived a nice life, always surrounded by both money from her father and grandfather and love from her whole family. Dylan came to develop a passion for reading when she got into some of her mother’s books, and when her mother showed her the famous films she loved, Dylan fell in love. When her mother videotaped the kids, Dylan always took center stage whether it was intentional or unintentional – she was talented in front of the camera and when she stared in her first school play, she really discovered she loved acting. Encouraged by Kaz applying to Metric, Dylan did so as well, and was let in but only because she was the daughter of two graduates. Dylan wasn’t the most talented at first and it took some severe dedication for her to even land a supporting role in the first production put on by the school. Nevertheless, she got through it and after that improved herself. She’s set on the idea of film acting – finding it better than plays – and wants to be a big name star one day and star in a film that tops the box office! Dylan has kind of always had an inkling suspicion of her sexuality – she’s always liked the princesses in movies, and never had any kind of desire for the boys, and when she discovered what the term ‘lesbian’ was she identified with it. She has not ever been in a relationship and has not come out to anyone in her family yet, though she isn’t scared to because her uncle Gracie is very gay and very much loved by her parents still. She just doesn’t feel confident enough to ‘come out’ just yet.

Remy + Ethan Montoya



Sophia Montoya PB: Clara Alonso
Age: 19

She's known to be a little quiet around people she doesn't know, but when she gets to talking she can hardly be stopped - especially when the conversation's topic is about something that she absolutely loves. She is intrigued by artists of all kinds and is a self-taught musician herself, since she was given a mini-guitar as a three year old. Sophia branched out from that instrument and adores playing piano. If there is a piano somewhere not being played, she will find it and play it without permission. She is impulsive when it comes to making music, but shies away if she attracts too much attention from people she doesn't know. This has prevented her from her dream of being a concert pianist, but she has sought out plenty of other ways to make a living by her music. Graduated from Metric High and is currently a College Sophomore focusing on Film Scoring and Audio Technology.

Sophia is the first child of Remy and Ethan. She wasn't planned, as her parents were essentially friends with benefits during her conception - but her development sparked a corresponding development between them which led to commitment, marriage, and eventually two baby brothers.

The Twins PB: Francisco Lachowski



Marques & Mateo Montoya
(*Mateo played by Timmy*)
Age: Both 16

The most reserved of the three, Marques always chooses to be solitary when the opportunity presents itself. He will often hide behind his phone and headphones when in an unfamiliar crowd or in an environment where it is expected of him to be social. One thing he is most afraid of is saying the wrong thing or speaking his mind only to be shunned for his opinion. This fear arose as a young child, alongside his twin while visiting a playmate. Marques can't exactly recall what it was he said about their friend's dog, but the blatant exclusion that followed stuck with him for all his life so far. He allowed this to cause a rift between him and Mateo, which has only caused them to grow apart and become interested in completely different things. Marques makes use of his alone time and definitely prefers it. He has picked up the painting skill of his mother, slowly making it a Montoya family legacy. He attends Metric as a High School sophomore with his concentration in painting and fine arts.

Outgoing and often boisterous, Mateo is the only athlete in the family. He prides himself on his exercise and active habits like running early in the morning. It hurts him that his twin would rather not join him, but he doesn't dwell on it - if he wants to be a lonely jerk then that's just his prerogative. He has plenty of good friends anyway - among his soccer teammates and classmates alike there's never a dull moment. Mateo is a popular member of the Metric social hierarchy and because of this he never gets mistaken for his twin, especially with his muscle mass as any indication. He loves to show off his muscles and athletic abilities and he knows the ladies especially love it. It was this that got him so interested in dance and choreography, not only were there swarms of girls with the subject as their focus but it was the most athletic and active concentration available. He really loves the rush of dancing and is working on adding acrobatics to his style as well to get even more pumped.

The twins were only semi-planned by Remy and Ethan, who were trying for a son when Sophia was a toddler. They had no idea that they would get two sons instead! But nevertheless, they are loved equally in their eyes even though Remy wishes that Marques could break out of his shell a lot more.
