[Judge Sam]

Please use this thread to post the biography you submitted to me with your application. Maybe keep the talking to the introduction and other threads you make just to keep this clean.


I was unable to meet some specific physical looks you may have specified in your application, that's fine, you just may want to change up some of that in your biography by comparing it to your picture. If you can't locate your application in your e-mail (possibly in the sent folder), then just post here 'can't find it' or something and I will edit it into your post for you.

[Jaya]

I am a first-generation American. My parents were both raised in India. My father came here for his post-graduate education, and got his PhD from Vanderbilt. He still has an Indian accent, but it’s odd that he also seems to have a little Tennessee twang. After my father graduated and got a job, my mother came to join him, and I was born just 10 months later. We don’t have any other relatives here in America, and I haven’t been to India since I was a baby. So, I grew up as 100% American (though one with slightly different parents.)

I’ve been working for a pump manufacturer for about 4 years now. My parents really place a lot of emphasis on getting a good education, and they wanted me to stay away from boys entirely until I graduated. Now my parents are singing a different tune, however. They can’t wait for me to get married and start having grandchildren. I am afraid to go to their house for dinner for fear of who they have dragged in to set me up with. They keep offering to go to India to find me a husband.

[Jason]

Jason, born in Oakland, California, doesn't really fit in with anybody... He's sort of a loner. He's never really had many friends; he has two close friends, Joyce and James, with whom he's grown up with. He's spends almost all of his time with them. Jason's parents have been split up ever since he can remember. His mother, with whom he lives, is a stripper, and he has no idea who his father is or what he does. Jason is often ridiculed at school because some of the seniors have seen his mom at the club before. He often has trouble sleeping due to nightmares; when he was young his neighbor's house caught on fire. They were an elderly couple and didn't make it out alive, so Jason wakes up many times thinking that his house is on fire. He has an irrational fear and hatred of fire as a result of this.

Jason doesn't really like people. Or school. Or music. Or anything, really. He likes to sit alone in his room and reflect on his life, and all of the things he hasn't accomplished. His friends try to help him focus on the good things in life, but he has a hard time with that. He does enjoy his pet snake, named Harrison Bergeron.

Jason is really distrustful; he doesn't really expect anybody to be honest with him. He's a good kid at heart; he doesn't like to hurt people or be mean, but he has a hard time seeing the good in anybody else.

[Pete]

Pete lived a fairly ordinary suburbian life up until the age of eleven, growing up in a middle class household with, fairly normal parents. It wasn't until a little before his twelfth birthday that Pete had found himself an army brat and his mother and father (who had both changed jobs rather abruptly) moving him and his younger sister around the country. Originally wanting to become a lawyer, Pete found himself almost accustomed to his lifestyle by his eighteenth birthday and so decided to bypass high education and join the army.

Soon regretting the decision, and having finally come out of the closet, as it were, (to himself at around 16, but not till his family and friends until around 3 years ago) he felt that his low self esteem, tied in with a touch of paranoia had made his decision for him and he left to become a law student. Now currently in his second year as a student he feels that 'living his life in reverse' with a job first then education, has left him slightly worried about how people perceive him and so doesn't believe himself to be much of an extrovert.

[Almathea]

Almathea left her banking job in New York City to dedicate her life to saving forests across North America. She has recently moved to Brazil to put her efforts in there. She enjoys all kinds of protesting and changing her hair colour - now a forest, earthy brown. She came from a rich family of 8 kids and was always the black sheep of the family. She enjoys writing poetry, and camping under the stars at night time.

Short and sweet!

[Rey]

Rey's passion is photography, and always carries his camera with
him wherever he goes, regardless of whether he is allowed or not.

[Paris]

Paris is a native of Nashville, Tennessee and admires the south greatly.
He is big into music, constantly strumming his banjo wherever he may go.
His parents named him Paris because that is the city that his parents got pregnant with him in.
He also has a sister named London so being named after cities if fairly common.

[Tiberius]

Tiberius was born in a smallish Connecticut town to a somewhat unhappy young couple of Computer Repair workers. His father later opened a restaurant, but when he was around two years old his parents split because father was spending too much time at the restaurant. When asked to choose between the restaurant and her by the wife, he choose the restaurant. It went out of business three months later. As his mother went on a journey of self discovery through various spiritualities and art, Tiberius grew up to be a very free thinking child with a great respect and empathy for women. In school he was the nerdy nice guy who girls would befriend but never date, and who many of the popular boys would bully incessantly. He was diagnosed with various fad diseases such as ADHD but does not really buy into it. Through learning the values his mother cherished, Tiberius grew up to be a honest and caring individual known for his empathy and willingness to help others. His willingness to help others actually extended to the point where it is very common for him to be flabbergasted when others will refuse to help him in the same ways. While successful in highschool, high honors consistently, his somewhat overprotected upbringing made it difficult for him to exist on his own in college, and he flunked out. After giving up on his “practical” goal of becoming a history teacher, Tiberius threw his whole effort into his lifetime dream of being a comic book writer. He published a successful series of indie comics and slowly grew in popularity. He is now somewhat independently wealthy, though he is not married he is dating somewhat regularly now, he just hasn’t found the right person. His mother raised him from grade school up as a Christian Scientist, and while he believes in the faith outright he has not been a very active participant in the church lately.

Tiberius is a unusually tall man with a jovial face, constantly smiling. He’s slightly overweight due to lack of strenuous exercise and love of pasta and bacon. He’s white, mostly English with a touch of French and Italian. Blue eyes, slightly overgrown blonde hair, untanned skin from being indoors too much. He’s straight, though he’s been known to get into heated arguments over which of two men is more attractive anyway. He calls himself “biaesthetical ”, appreciating the look of an attractive man but never wanting to have sex with or kiss or touch in any romantic way a man. He’s known to get nervous around women, and people in general, at first but is very naturally likeable to people who take the effort to get to know him. He has a slight temper that’s faded over the years. His normal clothing style is somewhat fashionable glasses, khaki pants, and a casual button up shirt. He is famously good with kids.

[Jocelyn]

She grew up in a house that was mostly empty. Dad wasn't around, mom worked a lot. By age 20 was diagnosed with bipolar and ptsd. Since graduating undergrad with honors and a Bachelor's of Arts in Psychology, she has spent her life being a book bitch (a job she actually enjoys despite the crap she gives over it), doing freelance website work (for cheap) and trying hard not to go crazy in grad school in a forensic psychology program. She's pretty quiet, but not especially shy. Guarded is a good word for it. The ptsd came from childhood abuse, the bipolar from bad genetics.

[Gabriela]

Gabriela has spent most of her life living in a rickety old house on one of the dirtier side streets of the Burg. Her husband was a worker at the local factory like most of the men in the neighborhood. Together they had 8 children, along with 21 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. Gabriela was a stay at home mother who made some extra money by doing laundry and sewing. She never was formally educated, but has picked up much knowledge from helping her children and grandchildren with many years worth of homework. Her husband passed away a few years ago. Although she has continued her launderer and seamstress work, she has been relying mostly on the help of her very large and loving family.

[Ellis]

Ellis was always the athletic kid. He grew up with several brothers and sisters. He was never interested in school. He preferred strapping on football gear or wrestling with his brothers. He now works at his father's factory. When he's not at work he can be found at the bar buying a round for everyone.

[Jenya]

Hi, I'm Jenya and I'm a practicioner of naturopathic medicine. I was born in a sweat lodge in a holistic medicine camp in New Mexico. My parents Sanjay and Elana practiced spiritual healing for the Zuni indian tribe. Ever since I was a girl I have helped deliver babies and heal the ill with herbs, tinctures and sacred speech. I went to Naturopathy school at age 17 and became the youngest certified Naturopath ever at age 20.

I believe that evil and illness are caused by the same fundamental spirits. I have devoted much of my life to unwinding evil from people's souls so they can heal. In my spare time, I rock climb without ropes and raise injured coyote pups. I have not found love yet because you don't meet many people in the middle of nowhere New Mexico. The loves of my life are romance movies and my ten year old coyote Lashik'i.
