Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. A common enough story, am I right? The beautiful princess, forced into drudgery by a Wicked Queen who doubles as her stepmother. The Prince who happens upon this beleagured young woman, if only for a moment at first. The Wicked Queen, a vain creature, determined to destroy an obstacle in her path of absolute loveliness.

And her stepdaughter just happens to be an Obstacle. And obstacles to one's happiness are meant to be destroyed, correct? Then so must Snow White. Yet she escapes! Her trail hidden by a sympathetic woodsman, the young princess finds sanctuary in the woods, in the home of seven strange, little men who take her into both their house and hearts.

But the Queen finds out. Well, never send a man to do a woman's job and all that. So the Wicked Queen herself must go out and tear down this obstacle.

But we all know the ending - And They All Lived Happily Ever After. As every fairy tale must end, with the villain defeated and good triumphing once more with love found!

But...what if the Time was different? What if the 'Once Upon A Time' in the beginning was this Time? This age of technology and information and industry?

A Modern Snow White. A different Time. Perhaps a different Ending, as well? Shall we find out, in this new telling of a beloved story?

The Setting

The New Millenia. Cars, guns, faster computers, smaller cellphones, more reception...And a family. Sounds pretty normal, no? Until you take a closer look.

The mother of this family, Regina Marsdon, has just recently married. Her new husband is Erik Winters, a once-famous author who's not picked up a pen in years. To this marriage, they each bring their own treasures. Erik, his slightly tarnished fame as an author, and a daughter, Cayley Winters. Cayley is Erik's only child, and her mother died when she was very young, leaving Erik heartbroken and starting the halt of his books. She became the light of Erik's life, his 'Special Person', and it created an incredibly close bond between the two, as if they're not only father and daughter but friend as well. Even Regina can't break through it.

And speaking of Regina...She's not too pressed for money herself, unlike the Winters after Erik stopped writing. She just happens to be the world's most brilliant inventor, the Queen of the technological industry. Some of the things she comes up with are so advanced as to seem like magic. So she brings this little nest egg to the union as well as a son, Julian Marsdon. He, too, is the light of his mother's eye - when she's not working on some new invention or off cooing with her new husband. So Julian actually spends quite a bit of time on his own - or with Cayley. Until, of course, Regina finally goes a little over the edge.

Get the gist of the song now?

And doesn't it sound idyllic, though? Once famous father, brilliant stepmother, and a brother to boot (maybe even more than just a brother)! Perhaps if the stepmother wasn't so insanely jealous of the Cayley's bond with Erik, it might have truly been. Then again, there has been some speculation that Regina is actually mad...'A fine line between genuis and madness', as the saying goes.

And of course, on the other side of town...Not the slums, not the 'bad side of the tracks', as it were. Just not the posh, cushy setting of the rich. Seven young men live normal lives - or as normal a life as they can in this crazy world - never realizing that they might soon be pulled into what could be the most twisted family affair ever.

Julian Marsden
Gaian Username: Arilys
Age: 19
Height: 5'10"
Appearance: Julian Marsden
Hobbies:Drawing, reading, writing, racing, working on cars.
History: Growing up in the perpetual shadow of his mother's fame and fortune, Julian had a comparatively easy life. He never wanted for anything material, getting all the latest toys and everything on his Christmas wishlist every year. Everything, that is, except any real attention from his mother.
As a result, he learned to be his own company, finding some small consolation in things like an engaging novel now and then, or making his own magic in the mechanic's shop with one of his beloved restored cars. It was something he could enjoy on the side at first, the thrill of racing the automobiles he worked on, but soon enough it was an escape.
When his mother remarried, it signaled some dramatic changes in Julian's life. Not the normal things like having to share his mother's attention, or his room with some new sibling. Nothing so simple. He was already used to his mother being gone, and what he had to share now was his life. He didn't like it. He still doesn't like it. But his new stepsister seems nice enough, even if she's intruding into that nice, cold bubble he'd formed around himself to keep out of harm's way.

Erik Winters
Gaian Username: Sunblind Visions
Age: 38
Height: 6'3"
Appearance: Erik Winters
Hobbies: Writing, reading, dancing with his daughter, cooking (now that he has he time!)
History: Erik Winters was never a bad man. And he certainly didn't mean to have so rough a start with his daughter, but...He's not an unfortunate man, blessed with the 'good looks' of his own father. At least, that's what women say. He doesn't listen, as there's only been one woman he ever really cared about. Other than Cayley, that is. His previous, now deceased wife, Lanya. He loved her almost more than life itself, and his writing flourished with her, bringing him to international awareness. Then she gifted him with Cayley, and he thought his life couldn't get any better. A gorgeous wife, healthy career, absolutely adorable daughter...What could go wrong?

Never, never tempt Fate like that.

Lanya died when Cayley was almost four, leaving both of them bereft. And Erik's writing began to suffer for it, but he kept doggedly at it for the sake of his little girl. And oh, how he thanked God for her. She would help him along sometimes, giving him ideas or even telling him her own stories at night or at luch or whenever she had one. She always had a smile for him, and they made him lighter, made it easier for him to write, even on those days when it seemed like he couldn't open his eyes but for seeing a memory of Lanya. But Cayley was there, Cayley, who looked so much like not only himself, but Lanya, too. And every time he thought she wasn't looking, he'd thank God one more time.

Erik felt horrible about some of their living ways at first, Cayley cooking and cleaning while he struggled to write. But Cayley wouldn't let him help; she'd steer him right back to his desk, place the pen in his hand, leave a drink for him and maybe a sandwich or some other snack, then go right back out, humming some ditty. And it worked, because he managed to keep them in a fairly nice apartment. Tiny, cramped, old, but nice and well-built. Cayley grew, he watched, he wrote, he gave thanks.

Erik was a bit surprised when his daughter came to him begging to be allowed to participate in martial arts, but it was something she wanted, and she'd rarley asked for much. Besides, it'd be good for her to learn self-defense, he figured. So she went to classes.

And things continued along for a few more years, until Erik met Regina. Or rather, Regina found Erik. At least, that's how it seemed to the poor writer. But, find each other they did, fall in love with each other they did, and they got married. Regina could do what he'd never been able to - mother his daughter. And since she had a son, Cayley would have a sibling, too! While Erik is indeed very much in love with his new wife, he still has that special bond with his daughter, treating her almost as his equal, and with no less affection now than he ever had.

Cayley Winters
Gaian Username: Imena Darring
Age: 17
Height: 5’2”
Appearance: Cayley Winters
Hobbies: Reading, singing, acting, sketching, cooking, dancing, martial arts, swimming, walking.
History: Cayley’s mother died when she was young, perhaps about four. The results were hard on both her and her father, coming to the eventual stop of her father’s writing career and the beginning of the point when they were all the other had. And though things were hard in the beginning, Cayley made an effort to be a ‘good girl’ – smiling, laughing, helpful. She would help her father come up with ideas for little stories in magazines or journals; just enough to keep food on the table, clothes on their backs, and the apartment. Because of her father’s literary ‘genius’, most of her youth was spent surrounded by books, and she became a voracious reader, but eventually expanded into other interests, some by necessity. One such skill was cooking. Not because her father was a bad cook, but because he needed to focus on writing to even pay for the groceries!

Time went on, the pain lessened, Cayley grew older. And as she grew, she became more interested in acting, in singing, in drawing. And, somewhat to her father’s surprise, in martial arts. Cayley begged him to let her take classes, even though that would take money away from other things. But she got her wish, and she went through the classes with an enthusiasm and determination that inspired awe in others, and pride from her father.

Cayley was – and is – and excellent student, bright, cheerful, willing to learn and more than able to help those around her with the lessons. She’s always made sure to have her grades as near perfect as possible, as that would help her get a better job, and thus help her at home. She’s never stopped smiling, though, which was an amazing thing to some people around her. But that’s how she is, I suppose; with all the crummy things that happened in the beginning to her, it seems to have made her all the more determined to smile and laugh her way through life, seeing the good things in herself, the people about her, and life in general.

And with this new marriage to Regina Marsden, Cayley’s almost ecstatic! Her father is happy with this woman, which makes Cayley happy – of course, it helps that the woman is beautiful and brilliant and from all appearances kind and caring and just the sort of woman Cayley has looked up to her entire life. And now this woman is going to be her stepmother? Maybe she can teach Cayley all about the woman’s side of life, and maybe, just maybe, how to make some inventions of her own. And it helps, of course, that there’s a boy, Regina’s son, Julian. Cayley’s an only child, and a sibling has always been a half-formed wish of hers. Now she has one! Of course, he’s kind of cute, in a guarded way, but she’s sure she can reach past that and make close friends with him – because what’s the point of a sibling if you can’t be friends? Then again, maybe Cayley wouldn’t mind being more than just Julian’s friend…If only their parents weren’t married…

THE 'DWARVES'
Doc
Gaian Username: Kadevi
Character name: Jonathan Webster Roe
Age: 29
Height: 6'2"
Appearance: [ Doc Roe ]
His auburn hair that falls messily around a sharp, intelligent face, with flyaway locks that only add to his subtle charm. Jonathan's eyes are guarded, the color of luminous amber, and are set in an angular face with high cheekbones and a sharp chin. They are frequently hooded as he broods, pensive and silent, upon thoughts that nobody could possibly guess. His face is shadowed with painful memories, though it clears into something resembling content when he is around children - the most likely reason he enjoys spending time with them. Jonathan senses their need for him to protect them (a natural feeling for a born soldier as he), and they also sense his need for their innocence and uninhibited joy in life.

This former military medic possesses the lean, hard body of a born military man. He works out everyday, rain or shine, thus making him the best person to ask to do anything physical in nature. He is tall, but not extremely so, though he towers over many of his contemporaries. Jonathan's body is always half alert, the remnants of his days in the military, and he always seems wary of danger or enemies. Though he doesn't look for trouble, Jonathan always appears intimidating when meeting strangers, and can definitely defend himself and fight - both in unarmed, and armed combat.

Another military influence appears in his favored clothing - collared shirts and ties. Even among casual company, he often wears neatly pressed clothes, with every crease flawlessly precise in its position. Jonathan has a keen sense of style (not a fact that he advertises to the masses), and always knows exactly what to wear to make the best impression possible. When he bothers to try, Doc Roe can look the part of irresistible bachelor - handsome, commanding, and charming. And of course, one can never forget that he can cook and loves children.

Hobbies: Guns, military aircraft, cooking, babysitting

History: A former sergeant in the military, Jonathan (or Doc Roe, as everybody calls him) served in the armed forces as a medic for over ten years. He graduated from high school rather unremarkably - average grades, intense interest in weapons and cars, an avid watcher of all military-related movies - but had nowhere to go after his father kicked him out of the house and told him to "go out on his own." Glad to finally be out of the house, Jonathan enlisted in the military and put his knowledge of military aircraft and weaponry to good use. He was the model soldier - always looking sharp in his uniform, performed tasks to perfection, and thought before he acted. He retired after ten years of service, looking to settle down to a quieter life, to the disappointment of his superiors and fellow soldiers.

After his experiences in the military, Jonathan became much more pensive and brooding than before he joined. At first glance, he appears fierce and unwelcome; however, any of his fellow soldiers in the military and close friends would be the first to say that you could not find a more loyal or true friend. Raised single-handedly by a father who worked tirelessly to provide for his single child, yet allowed him the freedom to explore his options, Jonathan has grown into a handsome man who holds honor, loyalty, and trust above all other values. Though he has retired from the military, he continues to hold these values as important. He also continues his military routine of working out every morning no matter the weather, a fact that impresses many to no end.

As a result of being raised by a single parent, Jonathan was often dropped off at a friend's home or a day care. He developped a strange liking for caring for children - and though he didn't look like the friendliest of men at first glance, children and teens always seemed to know that he was someone who could be trusted. He, after being a medic, also has all too much experience in caring for a small child's injuries and wounds. He has a gentleness about him that one wouldn't expect; children adore his rough affection, and teens trust him because he gives them understanding, choices, and blunt advice (instead of the smothering protectiveness of a parent). But however much the children often go to him for comfort and protection, he also needs them in a way of his own: he is wary and cautious to a fault, always guarded and closed from all but the closest of friends. Children, with their unfailing trust and unstinted love for those they care for, soothes the guilt he still feels over the deaths of his fellow soldiers, especially those he could not save from death's arms.

At the moment, Jonathan is living on his military pension and none-too-small monetary investment profits, and works as the house call doctor for the local doctor's office. He owns an impressive collection of weaponry (mostly handguns and rifles), as well as several shelves of books written about the military, past wars, and the technology of war. He owns a large home in a comfortable suburban area, and lives in it with six other people - 'strays' that he picked up, or others who found one reason or another to move into the pleasant, airy home. He is the self-proclaimed cook amongst the seven, cooking meals that are hearty, nutritious, and healthy for his six companions. He also takes it upon himself to take care of those living under his care, the task familiar after years of doing the same for his brethren in the military, and can always be depended on to be a good listener and dispenser of advice. Though Jonathan (or Doc Roe, as many in his neighborhood know him as) seems intimidating at first, those who know him well would collectively agree that deep, deep, deep inside, he really does care.

Happy
Gaian Username: HakumeiMitsukai
Character Name: Raynef Noyes
Age: 14
Height: 5"5
Appearance: Raynef
Hobbies: Singing, cooking, modelling, video/computer games
History: Raynef is very emotional and affectionate. He was diagnosed at a young age of being an emotionally unstable and somewhat bipolar child. This eventually shamed his 'normal' and highly sophisticated aristocratic -snobby- parents, though his ability to excel in his early modelling career has gained some 'love.' Although they show their love by just flaunting him around in just any form of expensive designer wear or introducing him to all his friends after making sure he took a good amount of medication. His unique ability to appear as a delicate female or male has amazed many of his colleagues and producers, but Raynef has never really thought much of it.

Well, that's how he acts.

In actuality, he's very confused of his facial appearance and gender for that matter. He does have a fragile childlike mindstate; afterall, practically being raised in a modelling and somewhat aristocratic world and dressed in both genders since his toddler days... Raynef can't help but be confused. Of course, he is a full fledge male. He just doesn't know whether to be a girl or a boy -and in the world he grew up in, it doesn't seem to matter what gender he is. Either genders seems to suit him; he just doesn't want to be inbetween, though. In all his fourteen years of life, Raynef has never crushed on anyone or felt attracted to anyone in a more than friend/family basis, which maybe be the reason he is so. Maybe once he actually falls for someone, either being male or female -possibly even both- he may realize if he is actually meant to be a female or male. For now, he'll just settle for testing waters -sort of speak- and dress or act in whichever way/gender he feels like.

To be truthful, his usual naive and childlike demeanor has slowly unravelled through the years and he's come to be aware of the world he lives in. He loves to model, but he wishes that his parents actually love him for him instead of the benefits he gives them. He also feels misplaced in the modelling world since all his so called friends seem to never really care for him as he cares for them. Living in an unrequited affection and love world, he oneday stumbled across the paths of 6 other young to old men. From the moment of his first meeting with each of them, he has stuck like glue -or like a doting loving puppy- to them. Especially a certain friend named Grumpy has become his most favored and doted upon friend. Fortunately, his parents barely care what he does with his life as long as he continues his modelling job and visiting them when friends are over every now and then, which leaves him to the loving care and hospitality of his new found friends.

Sleepy
Gaian Username: Sensounami
Character Name: Alton Phibbs
Age: 21
Height: 6'3"
Appearance: The first thing you'll notice about Alton is undoubtled his hair. A shade of fiery orangey red, he keeps it meticulously clean to maintain its sheen. His care for his appearance, however, only goes about that far. Usually he'll pull his hair into a loose ponytail at the base of his neck and wears very comfortable jeans and plain tee-shirts (when he can be bothered to put a shirt on at all). Despite his attempts to build up some sort of muscle mass, Alton has always been very thin, which is only accentuated by his rather tall height. His face is an amiable one, rarely ever set into a frown, with relaxed brown eyes framed by faint freckles, a slender but rounded nose, and a mouth that is almost always curved into a laidback grin. ( http://tinypic.com/20065co.jpg )
Hobbies: Playing with his dog, not working, writing short stories, old school video games
History: One can easily guess that a guy might get the nickname "Sleepy" for being lazy. However, Alton actually likes to remain fairly active, visiting the gym almost every day (though you could hardly tell from his skinny figure) and spending a lot of time in the park playing with his dog, a German Shepherd he calls Lady Bijou (or "Juju Bean" or short). His nickname really comes for his complete and total disdain for working (not to mention cleaning his apartment). Since he got out of college, he hasn't been able to keep a job for more than six months. When he gets tired of a job, he starts sleeping in every morning until his employer finally fire him. These habits were obviously acquired when he was young. He came from an average upper middle-class family, and always did the bare minimum to scrape by in school.
Alton has some minor delusions - I mean, dreams - of making his living as writer. He writes quite often, but lacks to drive to get anything significant published. Occasionally he sends a short story into the odd magazine or two, and about half the time it will be accepted, but his writing career will likely never got any further than that.
As for his lovelife, Alton loves women, and usually has some measure of success in that area, but most of his girlfriends either get sick of his inability to stay employed or get scared off by Lady Bijou, who gets incredibly jealous when Alton has "other women" in the house. Sometimes he gets a little depressed by his lack of a relationship, but mostly is a very upbeat and optimistic person. He is easily befriended and one of the best people to go for when you need an listening ear or a shoulder to cry on.
Currently he lives alone with Lady Bijou in a tiny apartment that he barely manages to avoid eviction from. At least he has lots of friends, and is always looking for someone to play Pong or Frogger with him (he finds modern video games to be very long and take way too much ambition).

Sneezy
Gaian Username: + The Meg +
Character Name: Melena O'Callaghan
Age: 19 years old
Height: 5 feet 2 inches
Appearance: [ Melly] Melena is small in pretty much every aspect. Standing at a mere five feet two inches in height and weighing one hundred and three pounds, she is often perceived as weak and frail -- which she very much so is. She has a very small bone structure and is generally quite delicate, bruising or getting hurt easily. She has muscle tone, but strength and endurance wise, she is lacking. Her body is slender and agile, complimented by her furtherly small bust and hips. Melena doesn't at all mind her small assets or her stature because it prevents her from getting ogled over, though she is a very pretty girl. It's a bit contradicting, but even though she lacks in physical strength, she is a very bubbly girl.

Her skin is smooth like silk to the touch and is a light tan shade, giving her a healthy glow. She has naturally rosy cheeks that light up her face a considerable amount. A pair of unusually colored optics are placed evenly on her face, offering anyone absolute wonders and awe if they ever took the time to look close enough. Her eyes are lined with thick and long lashes while above are her perfectly sculpted eyebrows. As for the actual iris color? A deep violet surrounded by a charcoal colored ring to set them off nicely.

Melena's hair is naturally red and falls in wavy tresses to the small of her back. She has side-swept bangs that partially fall into her left eye and she has more shorter tendrils that frame her sweet, heart-shaped face. Normally she wears her long locks in a low, loose ponytail with a ribbon or in a braid for conveniency of keeping them out of her face. She dresses quite modestly in blouses and skirts or sometimes even dresses; it's very seldom to find her in pants. Melena makes sure that she's covered up for the most part for she doesn't like it when attention is drawn to herself.

Her features are very soft and delicate, showing that one rough movement around her could very well end up causing injury. Melena has a sweet innocence to her that one could find just by looking into her amethyst eyes. For being so small, she is normally perceived as a 'push-over', but she has a lot of spirit despite her sometimes timid nature.

Hobbies: Sketching, Painting, Meditation, Reading, and Roller-Blading

History: Melena grew up in a lower to middle class family where the O'Callaghans' had just enough money to get by with perhaps a couple hundred dollars set aside. She didn't grow up with the luxuries that others did and was taught to be hard-working from the beginning. Her mother, Amaya, worked two jobs and her father, Angelus, worked long hours in a factory six days a week. On the weekdays, Melena would spend most of her days in school and when she arrived home at her small dwelling she would wait for her parents to come home which would be late at night. She often had to feed herself which was how she first discovered her allergies.

It the time that Melena spent home by herself, it was discovered that she was allergic to Citrus Fruit, Soy, Eggs, Shellfish, Peanuts, Sesame, and Wheat. Those were just covering food allergies. To compliment that list was allergies to Mold, Penicillin, Grass, Pollen, Bees/Wasps, and Dust Mites -- a total of thirteen allergens that affect her. Her reaction if she comes in contact with any of these? When it comes to food allergies, specifically the Peanuts, Shellfish, and Citrus Fruit, Melena gets the sensation that her lungs are closing off and her throat does indeed close up. Sometimes she breaks into hives, a fever, or has what appears to be an asthma attack. However, if a dosage of any of those allergens were strong enough, Melena could very well go into anaphylactic shock which could kill her in minutes if left untreated.

When she was eleven, there was an accident at the factory her father worked at resulting in his death. Her mother couldn't possibly pay all of the bills for the house, for Melena to go to school, and for Melena's hospital visits. They were forced to sell the house and then resided with Melena's aunt, Serynn, her mother's sister. Melena continued to go to school while her mother and aunt worked, and she continued to have problems with her severe allergies. There was one time, however, when Melena was thirteen that could have very well been her last. After getting attacked by a hive of bees, she did go into shock and had remained hospitalized for roughly two and a half weeks. Melena's mother finally stopped working when Melena was fifteen and received a type of financial aid from the government. When her aunt decided to move away, Melena and her mother inherited the house.

Melena had been forced to stop her education at the age of twelve when money became tight, so she was never able to obtain a highschool diploma. She's a smart girl for the most part, though she probably could have gone far in life had she not been taken out of school. Melena took up a job in two restaurants and tended to reside at home with her aunt and her mother, though she wasn't happy there all the time [until her aunt moved]. Her mother tended to be a bit over-bearing and distant and Melena did not wish to remain. She feared that she would be a bother and wish to leave her mother in peace. However, she was fortunate enough to find friends who were willing to take her in and to take care of her, six friends that she had so desperately needed.

Nowadays, Melena is quite the bubble of energy, always eager and aiming to please people despite her sometimes timid and childish nature. She was affectionately nicknamed as 'Sneezy' by her companions, considering her list of allergies and the fact that she sneezes...a lot. Melena always carries an Epipen with her and her allergy medications just incase of an accident. Sometimes she over-exerts herself and gets worn out easily, but she loves to be busy and out and about. Melena is pretty much the person that one would have to worry about.

Grumpy
Gaian Username: Super Sheba
Character Name: Celine Morrison
Age: 18
Height: 5’8”
Appearance: Here.
Celine’s nickname and her appearance are a complete contradiction of one another. One would think that with the nickname “Grumpy,” Celine would bear the appearance of a stern and annoyed young woman, but she is quite the opposite. Celine is a girl of 18 of a rather pretty appearance who bears a curious but gay expression as she encounters the struggles and joys of every day life. A creamy complexion with rosy cheeks graced with a stunning set of chocolate colored eyes and delicate lips lend themselves to Celine’s kind and gentle personality in order to create a beautiful and passionate smile. Short locks of mahogany frame Celine’s face, which helps to offset the thinness of her body.

Celine is a willowy young woman, being fairly tall and rather slender, but she is healthily so. However, her tall height does not always complement her figure, so Celine must work to dress herself in attire that keeps her from appearing too skinny. She is not very muscular, but she does not desire to look that way. Celine usually walks when she needs to get somewhere, and so she is able to remain healthy through this activity. Also playful, Celine participates in sports from time to time and has difficulty rejecting the call of her overly competitive spirit.

Hobbies: Writing, reading, speaking French, playing the piano, trivia games, singing, some video games, animals

History: At a single glance, one would laugh at the thought of Celine having the nickname of “Grumpy,” and even after speaking with her several times, one would still be completely confused.

Celine grew up in a small town with her parents and two younger brothers, and two younger sisters. It was not as though her life was terribly difficult, nor was it filled with heartbreak. Her parents were of the middle-class, and so Celine was raised learning not only of little luxuries in life but of money struggles as well. Life was fairly easy for Celine as she grew up a normal girl, and any she had idiosyncrasies her parents tried to break her of, yet there was one that no matter how hard they tried, her parents could not make disappear.

Celine was serious to a fault when it came to work or anything important that she found to be a pressing matter. If Celine had a research paper due, Celine would lock herself in her bedroom until she was finished. Anyone who dared knock on Celine’s door would be greeted with an angry voice exclaiming that she was busy and did not wish to be disturbed. If cleaning house and her siblings were throwing their toys on the floor, Celine would admonish them harshly and sigh in utter frustration. It was as though each time Celine became busy she transformed from a playful kitten to a tiger on the hunt. When Celine began living with her new friends, it did not take them long to establish that she definitely deserved the name Grumpy.

Towards the end of high school, Celine became restless and grew tired of the simple life she had grown so accustomed to. She yearned for freedom, to no longer be under the jurisdiction of her parents, and quickly decided that the moment after she graduated she would escape her small-town life and go somewhere exciting. Determined to live without her parent’s help and finding herself without a job, Celine began to go through hard times, and began to struggle to make ends meet. For a few weeks she was homeless and lived in the streets, but one day Doc Roe came upon her lying on the sidewalk in the cold and invited her to stay in his home with his other adoptees. Desperate, Celine eagerly accepted the man’s offer and soon became a part of his strange but happy family. She was not quite sure why, but something about the man had proven him trustworthy. It was difficult for Celine to figure out what had brought her to trust him so quickly, but something about Doc Roe left her with the impression that he was moral man with good intentions.

Dopey
Gaian Username: DocLight
Character Name: Toby Michael Desslar
Age: 20
Height: 5'7"
Appearance: Link
Hobbies: Hobbies: Reading, foreign language, musical theatre, history, electronics, playing guitar, and what ever strikes his fancy, as he seems to go through phases of likes.
History: Toby did not come from a kind and loving family. He had been born into a small neighborhood where differences were frowned upon. And how much different could Toby get?

From an early age, Toby realized he was extremely different. When other children were learning addition, he was already on fractions and decimals. He could easily read complicated books and retain the knowledge. Yet, despite that, he has always written like a preschooler. Toby still hasn't learned how to tie his shoes. Besides that, there was something else disturbing that Toby discovered about himself. He felt no pain. Cursed with a rare medical condition, his brain cannot decipher pain and give the sensation. That was how he got his nickname, of course. Dopey. For they thought he was too stupid to have the sense to move his hands out of boiling water.

His parents were not sympathetic. His father was never around and often ignored the boy, feeling that he was smarter than him sometimes. Toby's mother...well... She was a troubled woman. She drank often and took her frustration out on her son, scalding him with hot water, pressing burning cigarettes into his skin, and scream at him, degrading him, calling him a terrible liar and that he could feel pain.

Luckily, his much kinder aunt took him in instead and kept him home schooled. She spoiled him out of pity and provided him everything she could, feeding his craving for knowledge and giving him what love she could. She enstilled within him a love of the arts and theatre.

And then, Toby had gotten out into the world. He was living alone in a little apartment when he decided he wanted to take a bike ride. Just one day, decided he wanted to go and pedal, even though due to his condition, that is dangerous! So he started out at a slow pace, watching other people and imitating them. But because he had been watching only other people, he ended up colliding into a tree right outside the house of the other dwarves. Due to their kindness and helping him from his spill, Toby wormed his way into living with them, using the fact it was too dangerous for him to live alone.

Bashful
Gaian Username: chained_inside
Character Name: Iris Strahl
Age: 25
Height: 5'6"
Appearance: Iris Strahl (in one of her costumes)
Hobbies: sewing, designing, acting, watching plays and movies
History: Iris, as her nickname states, is extremely shy. She is usually dressed in baggy longsleeves and jeans and would, as much as possible, not meet other people. Instead she would rather remain in her messy room with her stash of movies and instant food. She also likes spending her time designing clothes which, in her opinion, would be too beautiful for someone like her to wear.

If you do manage to get Iris to talk to you, you'll find her to be very caring and she serves as the big-sister of the group. She always has time to listen to your problems, and would really help think of a solution. If a solution does not arise, Iris is known to think about the problem for weeks and sometimes sink into a depression. It is still hard for her to talk about herself and where she came from.

She currently works as a designer and an artist, sending her works through the internet so that she would not need to go out much. She secretly enjoys dressing up in the clothes she designed and then read lines from old plays.

Heehee. I didn't really talk about that in the history >< and I'll probably briefly explain about that particular aspect when I edit the profile. But uh, he will be >< Although, I'm unsure if he's going to be wishwashy, hetero/homo-sexual, or bisexual.

I'm sure I can whip up a simple banner. I wish I could do something flashy >< but meh. Don't have the right programs.

Oh my dear you have seriously caught my interest, everything looks rather interesting and it sounds fun. I think I might try my luck at being one of the dwarfs, most likely grumpy cause he's my favorite. Well I will send an application to you via PM as you so desired

@Croix.Noire.+: Why thank you; I try hard. Grumpy, eh? Can't hardly wait. ~.^
