||Anthony Tanner||
Playby: Jeremy Shada
Name: Anthony Griffen Tanner
Nickname: Tony, Tony the Tiger
Parents: Evangeline Walters and Leon Tanner
Age and Birthday: December 4 (25 years old, but looks younger than he really is)
Sexuality: Homosexual, Closeted--Only his sister knows
Schooling: Attended Metric Academy for Voice Acting
Occupation: Radio Host for WSMA
Siblings: Jude Aurelia Tanner, Older Sister
Relationships: Maverick Camden, Co-Host for WSMA and Roommate. Adam Blaine, A Friend from Metric Academy.
Appearance: Short Brown hair that likes to stick into a cowlick, pale skin, brown eyes. Stands at about 5''9" and weighs about 155 lbs.
Personality: When he was younger, Tony upheld a ‘rebel without a cause’ attitude. Even in recent years he has been acting out. However most of this due to the frustration of whom his mother’s family is. When he hangs out with his sister, though, he is a charming young man. He adores his big sister and tries to get her to come out of her shell, often doing things with her most guys wouldn’t dare.
Backstory: Tony was the second child to Angel Walters and Leon Tanner. Born just a little over a year after his sister, he was just as much a surprise (and accident) as Jude. His parents made sure the family was far away from Angel’s religious past. Nevertheless, Jeremy had a wonderful childhood. When he was about five years old his knack for voice mimicry was noticed while playing with his big sister. This continued throughout his life and his parents encouraged him to attend Metric Academy, which he only agreed to in order to make them shut up. He loved it there, and thrived in the campus life.
Upon earning his degree Tony piloted WSMA, a local Radio Station dedicated to Salem and the Metric Academy. His best friend and Co-Host Maverick Camden soon moved in to an apartment with him (which Anthony swears is only a platonic thing, no matter how much Jude will pester him about it).
||Tara Tate||
Playby: Olivia Holt
Name: Tara Elizabeth Tate
Nickname: None she goes by Tara
Parents: Moira and Benjamin Tate
Age and Birthday: November 14 (16 Years old, will be 17)
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Schooling: Attending Metric for Graphic Design
Siblings: Lachlan Peter Tate, younger brother
Relationships: Mateo Montoya--major crush turned boyfriend (she may or may not have several digital drawings of him), Talia Hyde--best friend since childhood.
Appearance: Despite being a natural brunette Tara dyes her hair blonde, and has done so since the age of thirteen. She very much so possesses her father’s dark brown eyes though her petite features greatly reflect her mom. Tara stands at about 5’6”--just an inch taller than her mom-- and weighs about 125 lbs.
Personality: Tara likes to think of herself as one of those approachable types. She will always lend an ear to listen and is probably one of the most down to earth people you will ever meet. She adores her little brother, Lachlan and will always make time for him, not wanting to be one of those bitchy older siblings.
Backstory: Tara was a bit of a surprise to Moira and Benji Tate. Conceived and born in Australia before her parents were wed, she was quite unexpected. However her arrival could not have come at a better time, for her existence bettered Benji’s mental state after a surfing accident that left him unable to surf ever again. Tara showed amazing talent in the realm of drawing, taking after her mother. However she would often become frustrated with pencils and paper so she was given a tablet on which she could draw to her heart’s content. She excelled at its use and showed great potential as a graphic artist. When her family moved to Salem, CA she met her now best friend, Talia Hyde. Only a few years later Tara completed the entrance exam and was able to attend Metric Academy.
||Nathaniel Hyde||
Playby: Will Shadley
Name: Nathaniel Jeremiah Hyde
Nickname: Nate--Don’t even try calling him Nathan (but Talia does all the time)
Parents: Luna and Gabriel Hyde
Age and Birthday: April 2 (14, will turn 15)
Sexuality: Undetermined
Schooling: Attending Metric for Special Effects Cosmetology
Siblings: Talia Anastasia Hyde, Older Sister
Relationships: Lachlan Tate, known him for a while but recently became friends.
Appearance: Nate more closely resembles his father with his dark hair and semi-goofy features. However he most definitely has his mother’s hazel eyes as well as her small frame. He currently stands at around 5’4” and weighs around 145 lbs.
Personality: Nate is a quiet individual, much like his parents. He will often be seen drawing in his notebook of designs for special effects or even in a bathroom, applying makeup on himself for practice. He ignores taunts about this, seeing as how he is actually very confident about himself. In fact, he may be quiet but he can stand up for himself if he has to. Though he prefers not to seeing as how he dislikes any kind of violence.
Backstory: Nate was the second child to happily married Luna and Gabriel Hyde. Growing up for the first few years of his life in NYC, the family moved to Salem, CA when the kids showed great potential for the arts. Nate first showed his interest in make-up when he found his mothe’rs supply and applied it to his face, liking how he could make himself look like anything he wanted. For Christmas and his birthdays all he wanted was makeup kits and notebooks for designing. In fact, for awhile he even insisted on doing his sister’s make-up for practice.
After watching a documentary in middle school on special effects cosmetology, Nate begged his parents to let him try it out for Halloween on the whole family. It was a success and he was accepted into Metric Academy.
||Abigail Wentworth||
Playby: Sarah Michelle Gellar
Name: Abigail Bianca Wentworth
Nickname: Abbie, Ms. Wentworth (by her Students), Abbs (by Merlin Arkwright)
Parents: Blair Renard (biological mother), Andrew and Rosalie Wentworth (adoptive parents)
Age and Birthday: November 26 (34 Years old)
Sexuality: Undetermined
Schooling: Attended Juilliard, now works at Metric Academy as a Choral Instructor
Siblings: None
Relationships: Merlin Arkwright--fellow teacher, friend, and perhaps a bit of a crush
Appearance: Abbie has her biological mother’s green eyes and blonde hair, though she is much more petite. Standing at 5’3”, Abbie has always weighed about 110 lbs. This differed greatly from her adoptive parents whom were both tall and dark-haired. She knew her whole life she was adopted.
Personality: Abbie has always been the stereotypical ‘cheerleader’ type. Bubbly and excitable, she in fact was a cheerleader in high school and was the main Meso-Soprano in her high school choir. She likes to make people smile and often surrounds herself with quiet individuals, hoping to give them some sort of social life.
Backstory: Abbie was conceived as a result of an abusive relationship between her mother and father. When she was born Blair Renard, her mother, was forced to give her up for adoption. Adopted by the wonderful Wentworths, she was showered with love and affection. She even was able to write letters to her biological mom throughout her childhood but she never met Blair until she was out of high school herself. She attended Juilliard--thankfully since her parents were loaded-- and pursued a degree in music instruction. After working a couple of years near Boston for Quincy High School, she was offered a position teaching Choir at Metric Academy. Of course, she jumped on the chance.
||Emily Blaine||
Playby: Georgie Henley
Name: Emily Rose Blaine
Nickname: Em, Emmie, Lee
Parents: Reese and Harry Blaine
Age and Birthday: May 28 (17 years old)
Sexuality: Bisexual
Schooling: Attends Metric for Writing
Siblings: Adam Alexander Blaine, Older Brother
Relationships: Caedmon Murphy, friend. Kassidy Murphy, friend.
Appearance: Emily adores her brown hair and loves to arrange it in a variety of styles. She will most oftenly wear it down though, only taking it out of her face when she sits down to write on an old typewriter she has. Her eye color is an enigma, seeing as how some days her eyes look brown, other days blue, other days hazel. It is assumed she got her eye color from her grandfather. She stands at 5’4”, much shorter than her parents but it doesn’t bother her. Her weight has always fluctuated between 145 and 155 lbs, depending on her eating habits.
Personality: Emily has a rather quiet nature about her when around large groups or by herself. If she is with her parents or maybe one or two friends she will usually open up a bit more. She loves to amaze people with card tricks her father has taught her but does not like getting too much attention. Of course, when she is with her big brother, she is a giggly mess. He brings out the inner child in her and she adores spending time with him.
Backstory: Emily is the second child to Reese and Harry Blaine. After her brother Adam was born as HIV positive, Reese didn't want to try for another kid for fear of the child having HIV again. Emily's existence actually is attributed to Harry’s persistence. He was the one who convinced Reese to even try, assuring her that there was a great chance their child would not be born with HIV since he himself had a natural resistance to the virus. Voila, Emily was born and she was clean.
She grew up an ultimate Daddy's girl and whenever he would come home she would ask him to join in her games with Adam. The many games between Harry, Adam and her sparked her imagination and she began writing down little short stories, inspired by the people in her every day life. She takes great inspiration from her mother and brother, though, whom both don't let their illness confine them.
Emily began attendance at Metric Academy during her freshman year of high school. She got in with her light fluffy stories that she often passes off as children’s books. Which funnily enough, is exactly what her mom writes.
||Maverick Camden||
Playby: @jacksepticeye
Name: Maverick Jackson Camden
Nickname: Rickie, Rick (only when he is in trouble though)
Parents: Boaz Williams and a One Night Stand
Age and Birthday: June 18 (27 Years Old)
Sexuality: Bisexual
Schooling: Graduated from Salem High, no College Degree
Occupation: Radio Host for WSMA
Siblings: Probably too many to list
Relationships: Anthony Tanner, Co-Host for WSMA and Roommate. Adam Blaine, another friend from Metric through Tony.
Appearance: Maverick has naturally dark hair but has been dying a section of it bright green for the last few years. His eyes would best be described as blue, maybe blue-grey. Just like his father he is shorter than most men, standing at about 5’7” and he weighs about 160 lbs. He likes to have a bit of stubble and/or facial hair because he hates the way he looks without it.
Personality: Maverick is best described as an introverted extrovert. Meaning, he is a highly independent person and does not feel the need to rely on others but he does get lonely if he doesn’t see anyone in a while. He only really has a couple of friends, really, and they are the only ones he hangs out with. Of course when he is with his friends he is highly energized and loves to play around.
Backstory: Maverick was conceived during one of Boaz’s one night stands in Salem. His existence was not made known to Boaz until Maverick was in his teenage years. Of course his meeting with his father was strained from years of not even knowing each other. Because of this he hates Boaz’s guts.
Maverick was never an exceptional student, getting mostly C’s and D’s. So naturally he did not attend college. Instead he remained in Salem and befriended Anthony Tanner from Metric Academy. The two bonded over their love of comedy.
When Tony opened a radio station in town, Maverick jumped on the opportunity to co-host it with his best friend. Shortly thereafter the two moved into an apartment together and their friendship has been going strong ever since.
||Dawn Quaid||
Playby: Sierra McCormick
Name: Dawn Azalea Quaid
Nickname: None, her name is short enough
Parents: Blair and Brock Quaid
Age and Birthday: August 12 (19 Years Old)
Sexuality: Questioning, hasn’t really experimented yet
Schooling: Attends Metric for Music. She is a virtuoso on the Cello
Siblings: Abigail Wentworth, half sister biologically
Relationships: Mr. Merlin Arkwright, possibly her favorite professor at Metric. Ms. Abigail Wentworth, sister and also a beloved professor. Dawn likes to tease them both about the fact they obviously like each other (but never during the actual school day, always afterwards).
Appearance: Dawn is a petite little thing (well weight-wise anyway), much like her mother. Her hair is blonde, but has slowly begun to darken with age, just like her father though it still has remained much lighter than his. Her frame stands not as short as her sister, but she stands at about 5’5”.
Personality: Dawn is a blend of her parents. While in most social situations like parties she can be quite the social butterfly, she does like to have some quiet, alone time. Honestly, her best times are hanging out with her family. They always make sure to have a Family Movie Night and she adores both of her parents. To her friends, she is always ready to lend a listening ear and will readily offer a supportive hug or a shoulder to cry on.
Backstory: Dawn’s parents started dating in their college years, after meeting in a shared core subject class. They were off and on for a few years, mostly due to the clashing of their personalities. They loved each other.. Or at least felt strong attractions for each other but it didn’t seem to be enough. Then, after a large falling out they left each other for what seemed to be for good.
Then, they met once more at the Metric Academy reunion. It was tense at first, but after a drink and some talking everything seemed to be as if nothing terrible had ever happened between them. Add a couple of more drinks and they ended up being perhaps some of the rowdiest people there (a surprise, given Blair’s personality). They decided, after some coffee a few days later, that maybe they should try dating once more. Within the year they were married and Dawn was born.
Dawn grew up feeling very loved by her parents. They took excellent care of her and while they did have quite a bit of money, they did not spoil her. She also grew up in touch with her sister, whom ended up becoming the choir instructor at Metric Academy!
Unfortunately, Dawn doesn’t possess the voice talents of her parents. However, she has always had a knack for music. Her parents got her a violin at first, then by middle school she was playing viola and cello but she adores the sound of the cello. By the time she was ready for high school, she was already playing pieces most professionals play. Naturally, Metric was seen as an option and luckily she got in.
||Murphy||
Playby: Race Imboden
Name: Caedmon Patel Murphy
Nickname: Cay, Cadie (by his sister)
Parents: Kalavati Iyengar and Sean Murphy
Age and Birthday: January 1 (17 Years old)
Sexuality: Homosexual, but is not looking for a relationship right now
Schooling: Attends Metric High for Music
Siblings: Kassidy Adhira Murphy, twin sister
Relationships: Emily Blaine, friend
Appearance: Caedmon possesses his father's ginger hair as well as his height. Standing at 6 ft exactly, Caedmon towers over the women of his family. He received his mother's blue eyes, which he absolutely loves to be honest. His skin is freckled like his father's, but his body type is similar to his mother's.
Personality: Caedmon is a very energetic and outgoing individual. If there is a party, he will be there. Need a DJ, he's your guy. He tends to be the life of the party and is invited to every single one a person on campus might hold. He does sometimes get into fistfights with peopel he bumps heads with, but
Backstory: After the way Shyanne Volle had broken his heart, Sean thought he would never trust a young woman ever again. His demeanor changed, most likely for the worse and when he showed up to the reunion, he was ready to show everyone that he didn't need anyone and that he was doing just fine for himself. Enter Kalavati Iyengar, the girl that had always had the biggest crush on him. At the reunion, after Sean had gotten drunk he sat in a corner and Kalavati approached him. The events of that night caused the two to restart their friendship.
It took a couple of years but finally they were married (Though Kalavati kept her last name for business reasons) and then the twins were born. Caedmon was born first, seven minutes before Kassidy. From the get-go it was noticed what a ball of energy he was. Even as a toddler he was constantly running around. If he wasn't running around he was dancing to loud music. He didn't show an interest in the hteatre at all, but music was a passion of his very early on in his life.
In his early teen years, his parents decided they should look to Metric Academy as a possibility for him, seeing as how he had a knack for being able to compose classical music.He got in, his sister as well, and the twins packed their things to move off to California. Caedmon easily slipped into the social life at Metric and has become rather popular, actually. However those he would actually consider friends are not popular in the least. He's doing rather well for himself, able to balance good grades with a very active social/party life.
