How many years roleplaying?: Around 7 years
Jason Gideon, "Plain Sight"[/center][/size]
Character Name(s) and Ages(s):
-Stanley (52) and Diane Robin (49) (parents)
-Laura Robin (20)
-Julia Robin (18)
-Keith Robin (15)
Residence(s): They used to reside in a home in Upstate New York but they now recently purchased a home just outside of New York City in Long Island.
Profession(s): Stanley is a construction worker, Diane sells real estate, Laura and Julia are both college students, and Keith is in highschool.
Appearance(s):
Stanley: Stanley is not a particularly tall man (he stands at 5'8) but he is somewhat muscular in the upper chest area giving his line of work in construction. He is strong and is beginning to bald. He has dark eyes and a round, very worn face. He is capable of looking like a tyrant, a complete teddy bear, or dead on the inside pending on the day or the level of intoxication (in the past). He arely wears suits and can always be found in jeans and a loose fitting t-shirt. He is a rather sulkish and surly looking man who constantly appears to have the weight of the world on his shoulders.
Diane: A real estate agent and Stanley's wife who is very bird like in appearance. She is skinny, tall, and looks just like her two biological daughters and she tends to carry herself just like them as well. She has blonde hair but is constantly dying it to various colors pending on the fad. This new fascination with her looks is a new development that started when her husband got off the drink and after Krys' 'arrest'. By occupying herself with something she has no time to face what the real issue is: her unhappy marriage. She has become preoccupied with making it seem like the ideal home and perfect family, and so far she has been suceeding.
Laura: Laura and her younger sister Julia look almost exactly the same without makeup. In fact some joke that when they were little they looked like twins. Now as their tastes have developed Laura has leaned toward a more natural look (though she still loves girly makeup). She has naturally blonde hair and like her little sister loves to dress up. When she smiles it lights up a room and she has the brightest eyes. Also much like her adoptive sister Krys, Laura is capable of a number of sarcastic facial expressions.
Julia: Incredibly skinny, tan, bleach blonde hair, and often lathered in makeup. Julia looks like one of the 'Mean Girls' from the hit movie, and to assume as much wouldn't be too far off. She splurges any money she makes on designer outfits and purses and always tries to get herself the best of things despite only being a freshman in college. It is rare that you see her not wearing highheels. The odd thing is, after this entire process she looks older than her sister Laura (who looks a lot like year and is two years older) and because of her height she even looks older than Krys.
Keith: A young man of atheltic build he is the one out of the biological children that resembles his father. In fact, aside from the boy's blonde hair, when you compare photos of Keith to his dad in the past they are almost the exact same. Keith has kind eyes though he rarely smiles, another attribute shared with his father (though Keith has a kind heart). He has a somewhat muscular body from running cross country and playing baseball but nothing beyond the norm for other kids his age.
Personality(s):
Stanley: He's a man that has long given in and given up. He trudges along barely getting by. He hardly has the heart to look at his adoptive daughter Krys after what he did, even though he has sobered up. He's worried that he'll do it again so emotionally he keeps his distance from everyone. He's a man riddled with mistakes and he won't allow himself to move on.
Diane: Obsessed with maintaining the Stepford Wife image. In public she is full of smiles and a social butterfly, at home she shuts the 'switch' off and has taken her husband's place where it comes to the 'abuse'. Though it isn't physical she can often be found screeching at the kids that remain in the household for whatever little reason she can find, which is why the kids who are old enough and in college (Krys, Laura, and recently Julia) come home as little as possible. It is clear that Diane favors Julia despite the girl's outrageous behavior.
Laura: Laura is rather soft spoken in large crowds, but alone with her family she can be a completely different person. She says what she thinks but only when around family, in big crowds she clams right up. She is a kind person but, much like her younger sister, can be given to temper tantrums if something doesn't go her way. She is particularly patient with strangers however, which is why she wishes to be a teacher to 4th graders, particularly in the field of science and mathematics. She is also horribly in love with her boyfriend who is a complete jerk and has cheated on her several times. For some reason unknown to everyone she goes back to him every time and this sometimes causes a major separation between her and her siblings who are protective of her.
Julia: Julia is her mother's daughter. She can 'do no wrong' despite doing everything wrong. She's been partying hard since she was 15 and she sees nothing wrong with drinking and driving. She also has a reputation for sleeping around. On the outside Julia appears not to care about what is said about her but really deep down she cares a great deal.
Julia actually was the valedictorian of her highschool class out of 1250 people. She somehow manages to juggle her double life and make it work in her favor... So far. Out of all of the siblings Julia is probably the one who gets along with Krys the LEAST and sometimes it appears intentional. For example in a fight of words it's not uncommon for Julia to throw out the adoption card or yell out how Krys deserved to be hit at the top of her lungs. She can be scathing in that way.
Keith:Kindhearted, loyal, good natured, athletic. Keith is recently coming out of his shell. He used to be a shy little boy but lately in class and with his friends (along with around his sisters) has shown signs of sarcasm. These traces are most often shown around Krys (the few occasions that he gets to see her) which is a huge change from before because, when they were kids, he rarely spoke up. The truth is Keith wishes he had said something to his father when the abuse was taking place but he never had the courage, it's for this reason that Keith has an immense guilt hanging over his head.
He is probably the most average (intelligence wise) out of his siblings so he gets a lot of slack about that from his parents to the point of annoyance. But he excels in sports and has a good heart which gives him some leway when it comes to teachers.
Likes:
Stanley: Baseball, football, television, the outdoors, his kids suceeding (surprisingly), and beer (though he's quit).
Diane: Gardening, being a 'dance mom', socializing, being the center of attention, making a real estate deal, seeing her family's name in the paper, success.
Laura: Dance, her boyfriend, concerts, her car, science, math, children, living in the dorms, and going out with friends.
Julia: Dance, alcohol, boys, clubbing, being with 'friends', party hopping, MTV, concerts, clothes, shopping, smoking, and bonfires upstate (what else are you going to do, right?).
Keith:Baseball, running, his xbox, hanging with friends, being outdoors, his sisters (most of the time), his newfound freedom.
Dislikes:
Stanley: His past (what he's done), not being able to apologize or make it right, falling off the wagon (which has happened twice now, both when Krys visited..), his daughters acting up.
Diane: Failure of ANY kind, rejection of ANY kind, her life, mess, and dogs/cats (allergies).
Laura: Reading, people who don't like her boyfriend, people who brag, failing, and elephants.
Julia: Living a dull life, people who are 'weird' (by her definition), the dollar store, old people, homeless people, Krys (so it would seem), being blamed for ANYTHING, and bats.
Keith:The past (his father hitting Krys), Laura's boyfriend, gossip, highschool girl mentality, people who hurt others on purpose, the whole Disney Music Phenomonon (Hannah Montannah, Jonas Bros, etc).
Strengths:
Stanley: Upper body strength (from work), knows how to build things, knows history (facts), can keep his mouth shut.
Diane: Pretending, her drive, hair/makeup, and can manipulate.
Laura: Passionate, patient with strangers, great with children, strange sense of humor, and her smile is contagious.
Julia: Her intelligence (book smarts), is a social butterfly, her appearance, and manipulation.
Keith: His heart, his athleticism, his empathy, his ability to listen, his reputation throughout the town as a good kid, and on occasion he is able to speak up for himself and others.
Weaknesses:
Stanley: The ability to speak up when he's wrong, has fallen off the wagon a few times, showing affection, and can't seem to be happy.
Diane: Her compassion, her temper, cannot confront her past, and can't admit when she is at fault.
Laura: Her cheating boyfriend, chocolate, allergies, strength (physically), impatient with family, and is very territorial when it comes to her posessions.
Julia: Lack of true friends, distances herself from her siblings, her attitude, and hot older men.
Keith:Overwhelming guilt, sometimes is unable to speak up when he most needs to, doesn't have as many friends as Laura and Julia, unsure how to act around girls, and is good at A LOT of things but is not necessarily the best.
