Metric Academy 10 Year Reunion minibios

Amy O’Neal

Name: Amelia ‘Amy’ O’Neal

Age: 29

Relationship Status: It’s complicated. She was engaged to Mason Finnegan and was about to marry him. Max was her maid of honor, and she forced both Todd and Ace to be in the group of ushers. But on the day before the wedding, she had a panic attack and felt like she was throwing her life away even though she loved Mason and wanted to be with him. She just couldn’t do it. She left a long note to Mason and left it in his dressing room before she ran away. She took some of her father’s money and bought a ticket to London. Ever since she left (5 years ago) she has tried to contact Mason but can’t bring herself to. She changed her phone number. Though she knows her dad talks to Mason still, she made him promise not to tell him where she went. She’s seen a few people in Europe but nothing ever lasts because she keeps thinking of the man she left behind. She’s decided that, for the reunion, one of the key reasons she wants to go it to apologize to Mason for leaving him at the alter with nothing but a note.

Career: Amy works as a freelance photographer for a company in London. Her photography has given her many breaks and a lot of royalty checks, especially when a picture she took was sold to Time magazine 3 years ago. Along with this is money her father’s been allowing her to use. Amy can work from anywhere in the world she wants and she loves that she can travel so often for her job.

Relationships: Amy still gets along well with her best friends -- Ace, Todd, and Max -- and talks to them every chance she gets. She is happy for them and wants them all to find happiness! And it seems like most of them have thus far. She's always on the move, but still stops in to talk to them whenever she's in the neighborhood! In regards to her ex fiance, she still loves Mason and misses him but is convinced he deserves better so she pursues nothing there. While she does see her friends all the time, she misses being super close to them and wants to move closer.

Domestic Life: Amy lives in a cheap apartment in London, but is planning to move back to America soon… more specifically, to New York, where she knows Max lives. She wants to be a part of her besties life again.

Chad Richardson

Name: Chad Richardson

Age: 29

Relationship Status: He’s dating a girl named Vera, and she is gorgeous and they look good together, but he’s not serious about her at all. He had a fling with Mallory when they were at Metric – they were friends-with-benefits for about two years until he decided to move to the big city to take over part of his dad’s company. He hasn’t contacted Mal since but feels he has no need to. He did seriously love her, and part of the reason he wanted to move was because he felt like he was getting in too deep with her. He is oblivious to Cooper’s existence.

Career: Chad works as the head of marketing for RichardsonCorp, an electronics company. He designs the logos and advertisements they show on TV and on boxes. A friend of his from college, Ethan, occasionally submits artwork for the cooperation to use. Chad is actually very good at his job despite his goofiness -- he's always had a natural talent with both art and amusing people.

Relationships: Chad doesn’t keep in contact with anyone from Metric, except Ethan and those who do business with RichardsonCorp. He fell out of contact with Amy, but was invited to her and Mason’s wedding and was there when she didn’t show up. He said he condolences to Mason, Todd, Max, and Ace but didn’t stick around to see if she was okay. He likes to keep up to date with Chardonnay too, and will occasionally take his various girlfriends out to dinner at her restaurant. He often still hits on her and gets rejected, but he finds it more of a sport now and has since abandoned the idea that hell ever get inside her pants as much as he might like to do so. He misses Mal quite a lot, but doesn't want to admit it and blames the feeling of longing he still has for her on boredom (which he tries to remedy with more girls).

Domestic Life: He lives in LA, in his own penthouse suite. His girlfriend stays over most of the time (but he, being Chad, has had other girls over besides her). He’s very much a partier, and likes to live it up.

Other info:

Todd Bennett

Name: Todd Bennett

Age: 29

Relationship Status: Single-ish. Throughout college, Todd struggled with his sexuality and being who he was. He struggled with his feelings for his friend Gracie, too. After an on-off relationship during their latter years of college Todd ended things and went off to 'find himself' or whatever. In the process he became more exposed to sexuality and diversity. He dated one other person during that time but it was really only a publicity thing as well as a last ditch effort to convince his father he was straight; the girl was another famous model, like Todd, and their relationship was covered all over the tabloids. it only lasted for about a month before Todd ended it to focus more on his career. Doing so he realized he missed Gracie, but has yet to go to the other man's doorstep, though he plans to after the reunion.

Career: Full time model for Gavin’s agency. Todd is a very special model, who works both as a male model and a female model. He's very accustomed to drag ever since he tried it in college -- he likes to put on a female persona and though he doesn't perform like other queens, he still likes to rock the style. While he has stylists do his hair and makeup most of the time, Todd is also skilled at applying it onto himself and does not need the assistance (though for shoots he is required to have a professional do it). He is a very successful model and is actually in the running t be a contestant on RuPaul's drag race for the next season (nominated originally by a fan who he doesn't know, but his position on the chart is steadily increasing).

Relationships: Todd still speaks to Amy, Ace, and Max the most. He misses Niko, his former crush, but feels as though he crushed any chance he had with her as well as any chance he had with friendship as well. He and Gracie haven't spoken since their falling out shortly after they graduated college and Todd isn't even sure if Gracie misses him or not.

Domestic Life: Todd lives mainly at his parents -- though he rents hotels for shoots, he's never been anywhere long enough to buy an apartment. Todd is very buy with photo shoots and competitions now. When Todd went through the falling out with Gracie was when he came out to his family. His mother and sister were supportive, but his father was reluctant to the idea. That devastated Todd and he tried to not talk about it at all with his father. However, when he and his father talked about baseball again, his father realized Todd wasn't any different because he was bisexual. After that conversation, Todd's father started trying to open up to him more. The two now are as close as they used to be, and his father is more accepting of Todd's bisexuality as well as his drag performances. Though his father finds it odd still, he still loves his son and that's all Todd wanted to know stayed the same. Now, Todd feels as though he can be more of himself.

Candice Montgomery-Davenforth

Name: Candice Montgomery-Davenforth

Age: 30

Relationship Status: Married to Carla Davenforth for a few months now after over ten years of dating. Their relationship started out as something Candice didn’t expect to go very far, and she certainly never pictured it ending in marriage, but she’s very happy with it and is glad that she found such a good partner who she actually feels a connection to. She’s very open about her relationship with her colleagues (though she doesn’t go into detail, she’s just proud to be married to such a wonderful person) and is thankful that they are all, for the most part, accepting. Though in her past (especially at the school) she’s had many people who don’t like her relationship but she always tries not to let it bother her, especially now that they’re married. As far as she’s concerned, she’s proud to say Carla is her wife, but anything intimate they might do with one another is strictly private business – as she thinks any relationship should be.

Career: After graduating from college, Candice landed herself an office position as a secretary who partially ran the place. In her spare time she worked on her novel, while saving up to eventually get a better apartment. After that job fell through due to the company going under, Candice went on the hunt for another job while taking a temporary break where she couldn’t find work. That was easily the most stressful time for her and she had to use her savings to afford her rent. After a lot of stress, Candice finally landed a job in a local middle school as a receptionist. She hated the job originally, dealing with rebellious little heathens and their frazzled and annoying parents who didn’t understand why little Johnny had gotten himself locked in in-school suspension and refused to believe their son did anything wrong. Candice made good money and benefits there, though, so she remained. Her job there had many struggles and, when some of the mothers found out she was a lesbian, she faced some struggles with the administration wanting to keep her when it bothered their students parents. Frustrated with this crap administration, she decided that was the final straw and so a year after she was hired, she applied for a job at a bank via a friend’s recommendation. Because of her friend’s recommendation, she was landed an interview and she impressed her interviewers. She was appointed as a bank teller just before Carla gave her the good news that she was going to move to Salem. At that point, Carla was much happier since she left the school and had a better job with benefits. Now that she and Carla are married, Candice is considering another change – moving to New York. Her bank has a branch out in New York State that she can transfer over to with the right recommendation, and on top of that, living in New York would put her closer for publishing companies. Candice just finished her manuscript, and has a company potentially interested in it in New York she’s planning to meet with soon. If all goes well, she can move to New York to further her plans with her book and hope it takes off.

Relationships: Carla is who she is closest to, being her wife now. She’s glad to be in such a stable and happy relationship which has helped her through the hardest times in her life, even despite long distance which she was initially worried about. She remains best friends with Erin Hart, who still aspires to own her own bar in Salem. She knows Arthur Summers through their mutual friend Erin, but only really through association and through visiting his theater on occasion to take Carla out to their favorite movie dates. He usually gives them a discount for being Erin’s friends, and Candice appreciates that.

Domestic Life: Candice still lives in her two bedroom apartment that she rented out after graduating college, now with Carla. Though since she and Carla are now considering moving to New York, there are boxes everywhere and most non-essential things are packed away. Candice gets along very well with her family, still, and they all love Carla but sometimes will teasingly ask them when they’re going to start a family and adopt children. Candice shoots their questions down by insisting they’re only going to have pets, but no one listens. Candice’s relationship with Carla’s family is mixed – she still gets along with Carla’s mother, but isn’t sure how her father views her or if he’s happy his daughter is interested in women. In regards to Chase, Candice barely talks to him but is glad that Carla gets on better with him – she views him as a weird one, but still as family as Chase has never seriously been against or tried to harm her or Carla’s relationship, though he sometimes can be ignorant.

Other info: In regards to her ex, Alex, Candice doesn’t talk to him anymore. He seemed to have given up his pursuit of her after getting in a relationship with someone else. Candice has since blocked his Facebook and has not spoken to or thought about him, really, in years. Candice still drinks quite a lot, though refuses to call herself an alcoholic. She was the worst when she was unemployed for six months between her first post-college job and her job at the Middle School. When she got the bank job, her drinking went back to being recreational, though when she had her drinking problem she blacked out quite a few times. All in all, she’s thankful that Carla wasn’t living with her when she was going through that awful phase and, though Carla herself doesn’t know it, having her support was what saved Candice numerous times from going too far off of the edge. If Carla knows anything about this it would be via Erin, likely (and we can plot more about this if we want Lori, haha while I was drafting her work history for the reunion I thought she would have gone through this and this would be an interesting thing to have happened).

Mr. Jean Audet

Name: Jean Audet

Age: 67

Relationship Status: Single. Though Miss. B confessed she had romantic feelings for him, Jean told her he couldn’t see her as a partner. However he does tease her about the crush, and asks if she’s moved on yet almost daily.

Career: Headmaster of Metric Academy.

Relationships: He still loves his school and students, and his staff of teachers.

Domestic Life: He lives in the same apartment.

Other info: His grandson, Robin (played by Jakub Gierszal), is 19 now and a total rebel. He’s what you would call stereotypically emo/punk. He has a lot of attitude problems and is a lot like a significantly less social version of his father Henry (much to Jean’s dismay) but at least Robin still loves him. He’s just very moody and very much stuck in his ‘this isn’t a phase. This is who I really am’ and ‘he’s not listening to you over the screamo blaring in his headphones’ stage of life.

Susan Summers

Name: Susan Summers

Age: 42

Relationship Status: Single. Susan didn’t really have time to date when Adelaide was a baby – she was loud and demanding – and when she wasn’t dealing with Adelaide, she was dealing with her teenage brother. As Adelaide grew, she was still demanding. Susan had help from her brother, but it wasn’t enough. She didn’t have time to give to a man and though she’s had a few short-lived romances over the past 10 years, nothing’s lasted. Her last boyfriend said some things that indirectly hurt Adelaide and, since that happened, Susan has decided to priorities her family as it is instead of looking for Mr. Right in a sea of Mr. Wrongs.

Career: Susan still works at Metric as the High School science teacher.

Relationships: Susan is closest to her brother and daughter, but aside from them she’s still best friends forever with Natalie Hall and John Hall. Their daughter, Annabelle, is Adelaide’s best friend. When Adelaide came out in middle school as a lesbian, she went to her mom first and Susan was happy for her. But when Adelaide let slip that she had a crush on Annabelle, she became doomed for a world of teasing via Susan.

Domestic Life: Susan and Adelaide live in Salem, in a small house. Susan was very excited to move out of the old apartment about a year ago.

Other info:

Arthur Summers

Name: Arthur Summers

Age: 28

Relationship Status: Single. Technically. Throughout his years at Metric he was constantly paired with Chardonnay and he thought that was all over by senior year when he got his own apartment. Unfortunately he was paired with her in another project like the one freshman year. After they finished the project, they were about to go their separate ways when they got into another argument and she would up kissing him. One thing led to another, and he woke up the next morning naked, beside her in his bed. He pretended to sleep until she left. When they presented their project he could barely look at Chardonnay. She got mad and went over to his apartment again to bring it up... and it happened again. Now, they’re secretly hooking up, but haven’t told anyone about it. At the same time they're just fuckbuddies, they're also there for each other in subtle ways, and Arthur supposes he'd classify her as his friend, though he's not sure if the feeling is mutual.

Career: After he graduated with a business degree, Arthur started working full time in the theater in town. Last year, his boss sold the business to him, and now he's the owner of Salem's theater. Many of his part-time employees are students at Metric currently.

Relationships: Arthur’s closest with his sister and niece. He has them over pretty much every week for dinner and they’re both welcome to come over any time (as long as they knock first) which occasionally gets him into more trouble than he initially thought it would.

Domestic Life: Arthur lives in an apartment complex in Salem. It’s a modest one bedroom place, but he really likes having his own place and being independent. Arthur has a pull out couch that he lets Adelaide use when she spends the night. Arthur’s always been a father-figure for Adelaide because her dad left before she was born.

Adelaide Summers

Name: Adelaide Summers

Age: 13

Relationship Status: Single, but crushing hardcore on her best friend, Annabelle.

Personality: Loud, outgoing, nosey, hot tempered, demanding, gold digger

School Life: Adelaide currently attends school in Salem, in the town middle school. She’s in the chorus and is really popular among the bandos. But since she joined the GSA and is open about being a lesbian, she’s gotten a lot of slack and bullying from the more popular crowd. Adelaide’s firey temper makes it so that she winds up confronting anyone who confronts her directly. But when she hears people who she considers ‘friends’, like kids in the band and chorus, calling her names, it hurts a lot. Her best friend Annabelle has been there with her through everything and she is forever thankful Annabelle will never be that mean to her. But lately, Adelaide’s been feeling jealous when Annabelle gets a new boyfriend, or talks about her male crushes. She fell hard for her best friend and is terrified that when Annabelle finds out she’ll think that all their happy memories together are tainted.

Family Relationships: Her mom is her best friend (aside from Annabelle). She’s also really close to her Uncle Artie, who she considers a father figure. He’s taken her to all the father-daughter events and dances while John took Annabelle to hers. When Adelaide was about 7, after she first heard mention of her father, she realized it was weird that her uncle took her to these things and asked about it. Susan and Arthur sat her down and explained about her father, and she got upset. Even though it really hurt that she didn’t have a dad as sweet as Annabelle’s, she felt better when her uncle hugged her and told her he was there for her even if he wasn’t her father. She came out to her mother as a lesbian when she was 12, who wasn’t as shocked as she thought she’d be. Then they spent the night talking about the cute girls in Disney movies. A few weeks later Adelaide let slip that she had developed feelings for Annabelle. Susan meant well but some of her teasing hurt more than Adelaide wanted to let on, so when she feels sad about how ‘hopeless’ her crush on Annabelle is, Adelaide usually goes to her uncle’s apartment to crash.

Domestic Life: Adelaide lives with her mother, but will sometimes spend nights over at her uncle’s place (usually on Fridays or Saturdays). She knows both places like the back of her hand, and many of her things are over at Arthur’s apartment. One morning when Adelaide was going to take a shower, she saw a nicely scented bar of soap. She didn’t know why it was there but assumed her uncle bought it for her because she’d complained about only being able to use the same ones he did. But recently, Adelaide found something that changed that idea completely -- a makeup compact in the bathroom. Now, she’d determined to find out who her uncle’s seeing. She hasn’t told Susan yet, but plans to soon.

Other info: She has a passion for singing and part of the reason she and Annabelle are being taken to Metric for the reunion is to check the school out. Adelaide prefers to sing rock songs, but had a very talented and smooth choir voice as well.
