canons !

THE CANONS

OF ALL YOU GOT !

there are only six simple rules:

the first rule is, the reservations last two days. yes, that's right,
not very long to think up, create, and apply for your character.
good thing our application doesn't take too long, isn't it? (;
the second rule is, be smart when you're choosing your
canon. don't choose someone you're not ready for, kapeesh?
the third rule is, if a canon's name is filled in and bolded, do
not apply as that canon. they're taken if their name is filled in.
the fourth rule is, if your application is denied, please, please,
please, apply as another canon or an original character. (;
the fifth rule is, make sure to check for extra information before
you apply so that you know everything about the character you're
applying for.
the sixth rule is ... well, i don't think there are any more rules.

"i see lots of change for shock, it could definitely go places. some of it's
staff seem a little hostile towards my proposed change. but what do i care?
i've been married twice before and don't plan on doing so again, i'm happy
flying solo right now. i'm currently sleeping with my personal assistant
hunter despite her being engaged to my best friend, grahams."

---- ---- HUDSON
FORTY ONE • PARTNER • BRAD PITT
"i graduated top of my class in business at university and look, i'm now a
partner in a tabloid magazine. yeah you can tell wayne is the brains behind
this operation. he's like a brother to me, but he's so fucking hotheaded.
though this tabloid isn't too bad. i met the most beautiful woman in the
world. morales, she's a little closed off towards me. but i think i'm warming
up to her, well i'd like to think i am."

---- ---- WALLACE
FORTY FOUR • PARTNER • ERIC DANE
"when my partners suggested buying a magazine i thought they meant
a magazine like GQ or FHM, something for men. instead i find out they've
bought some stupid tabloid. as you can tell i don't really care. i'm the face
of the company. the good looks, the figure head. i don't mind, to be honest
the only good thing about this magazine is the editor in cheif. she's fiesty
and extremely sexy, i could see a fun future for the two of us"

ADELAIDE SCARLETT WORTHINGTON
FORTY TWO • EDITOR-IN-CHEIF • KATE WALSH
"i'm good at what i do, i know i am. all these partners coming in, trying
to take over the magazine definitely won't work with me sunshine. i'm in
charge around here and i know shock better than anyone else. this is my
magazine and no trio of gorgeous men is going to stop it being my
magazine."

THIRTY TWO • EDITOR • JAMES FRANCO
"i'm a playboy. what of it? i like sex. i like women. i'm good at my job.
you shouldn't judge me, even if i do take advantage of the perks i get
of being an editor here at shock magazine."

VALENTINE LUCA SLOANE
THIRTY • ADVERTISING EXEC. • MILO VENTIMIGLIA
"my life took an interesting turn about ten years ago, when my deadbeat
of a dad, who ditched me with my mom when i was really young, decided
he couldn't handle fathering my half sister, sloane (hp) who was nine
at the time. so he decided it would be a great idea to leave her at my
apartment in brooklyn and not come back. ever. so i was twenty, trying to
get through college, and here i was with this nine year old blonde girl who
suddenly depended on me for everything. i had to grow up really fast, and
get my priorities in place. but we got through it, and now it's ten years later
and she's nineteen, i'm thirty, and we're doing really good. bad thing is,
though, is that my social life (and romantic life) got a little cut short after my
sister showed up but i've been seeing this one woman recently, lee, and things
seem to be going pretty well."

THIRTY FOUR • HEAD OF PHOTOGRAPHY • ZACHARY QUINTO
"there's this girl, there's always a girl, right? i mean, when is there ever not a
girl? anyways, there's this girl, she's perfect. she's ambitious, gorgeous, flawless...
i can't get her out of my mind. i knew her husband, quinn porter, he was my best
friend in high school. we we're gonna stay buddies for life, and when i met her, layla,
i knew that she was the girl for him. they were meant for each other. but i'm
the kind of guy who believes in multiple soulmates. i don't think that there is one
person for everyone, but some say i believe this because i think that i was made for
her. i know that she just lost her husband, and i my best friend, but i can help her
through this. i want to help her through this. if only she'd let me in."

---- ---- MORALES
THIRTY SIX • EDITOR • ANGELINA JOLIE
"i've always worked hard for my money and have worked very hard to get
into the position i am now. however some of my colleagues don't take me
seriously as an editor as i'm a single mother, with no husband. i don't care, i'm
proud of who i am and where i've come from. men only end up breaking your
heart. i want to let someone in, someone like hudson perhaps. but i'm scared."

--- --- SANDFORD
TWENTY EIGHT • HEAD OF DESIGN • CAMERON DIAZ
"i'm in love with my best friend grahams and i always have been
ever since the day we met. i don't like his fiance and i know that she's
cheating on him. i don't want to be the one that ends up hurting him though."

ELEANOR JADE WINSTEAD
TWENTY SEVEN • HEAD OF PUBLIC RELATIONS • RACHEL MCADAMS
"i just, i can't choose. they're both great guys, you know? i just don't
want to choose the wrong one and end up regretting it. there's bishop
and then there's lewis, they both make me happy in different ways,
i feel different with each of them. but which me do i like more? and
what's worse is that this indecision is messing with my work. what will
i do?"

LUNA CRYSTAL SMITH
TWENTY NINE • JUNIOR EDITOR • ISLA FISCHER
"i think i have an addiction. oh, god, it's not what you think, it's not to
drugs or alcohol or anything like that - it's to shopping. i am literally a
shopaholic. i've maxed out four credit cards in the last month and a half
and i'm up to my head in debt already. i want to quit, and i know i'm
putting myself into the poorhouse every time i see a new chanel bag. i
know it's only a matter of time before it starts interfering with my work, or
worse - what if i end up homeless?"

LEX SOPHIA ROSSE
TWENTY EIGHT • JUNIOR EDITOR • OLIVIA WILDE
"i like girls. sorry, i thought i'd start off with that. that's just the way it's
been my entire life. girls. most people know this, since i don't really put
any effort into actually hiding it, but looking at me, you probably couldn't
tell. i mean, i don't have the butch haircut or anything. i'm a junior editor
here at shock, and i hope to make my way up eventually, but for now, i'm
just glad i got this far. i'm a little bit addicted to work, and that doesn't
leave much time for a social life, but i do have my best friends, murray
and cameron, my girlfriend, meyer, and grey, who i'm kind of cheating
on my girlfriend with. i know. i suck. really, i do."

THIRTY NINE • CHIEF WRITER • JUDE LAW
"i'm a single father, yeah not usually your first impression right? my wife
died a few years ago and i have two beautiful daughters that not many
people know about. i'm quite new to the shock staff. i've been a
womanizer in the past, but all that has changed now. i met hunter and
she changed my world around. i'm in love and happily engaged. some
people say she's bad for me, too young for me, that i'm a fool - well, my
female best friend sandford does. but i don't care. i'm in love."

SPENCER LEE HARTLEY
TWENTY SIX • JUNIOR REPORTER • CHAD MICHAEL MURRAY
"i hate my life. sure, i have a gorgeous girlfriend, johnston, but that's
not everything, you know? i haven't been the same lately, not since i fucked
my good friend, feist. i didn't mean for it to happen and we were both
drunk as skunks, but it did happen, and things have been awkward lately. i
only started up a relationship with johnston because things were so
weird with me and feist. i miss her but i don't know what to do about it.
i don't love johnston, but i've always had a hard time letting go."

JAGGER HEATHCLIFF ROSE
THIRTY FIVE • REPORTER • HEATH LEDGER
"i'm a crap father. i haven't seen my daughter and ex-girlfriend (harry) in a
year and we both work in the same place! i want to be back in both of their
lives but i'm so busy with work. i've been fucking hope, she's paparazzi, to
get leads. i only want to get further in this line of work, but i don't want to
lose access to my daughter, either. i'm just so torn."

---- ---- BENNING
TWENTY FOUR • JUNIOR REPORTER • ED WESTWICK
"i'm extremely serious about my work, and i don't take it lightly. if anything, i
take it too seriously, and i throw myself into my career more than i should. it's
a good thing i've got champlin to make me have fun every once in a while, or i'd
probably never leave the office. her best friend, schnieder, well, she's not bad,
either. she's amazing, actually, and we're very much alike in many different ways.
i'd like to ask her out, but i'm worried it would interfere with my career, and i
don't want that at all. but every time i see her i feel like i need to do something.
i want her, i want a relationship with her, but i don't know how to go about it
without abandoning all i've worked for."

HUNTER CRAWFORD MARTIN
THIRTY SIX • REPORTER • LEONARDO DICAPRIO
"i've been stuck in the same job for the past six years. i came to new york
to get my big writing break, yet i'm here at shock. an absolute disgrace
of a tabloid magazine, with its shameless tactics. there's only one good
thing about working here, and thats allen. i doubt she even knows
my first name though"

--- --- RAPP
TWENTY EIGHT • JUNIOR REPORTER • TOPHER GRACE
"i love my comic books, but i'm getting sick of my comic book-loving rep
around here. seriously, what's wrong with breaking out the spidey? better
than something lame like superman. 'course, the folks around here don't
care who will win in the fight of good verses evil. which makes it a hell of
a lot harder to make good friends ... and to snag a girlfriend."

KALE RINGO STRAUSS
TWENTY TWO • JUNIOR REPORTER • ROBERT PATTINSON
"i've got this problem with terrorizing my ex when i don't mean to. see, i
was in a relationship with moores for most of high school, back when i had
a bad rep as a playboy. she changed me for the better and by senior year
we were a good, stable couple. which might have been the reason i cheated
on her so visibly. i think i might of sabotaged the whole thing the way i'm
now sabotaging her life. breaking up with her was fucking horrible and i'm
back to square one. it's not that i want to make her life a living hell, it's
that i have a way of doing it without trying or meaning. after all, how was
i supposed to know she'd be working here at shock? and how was i to
know she'd be involved with an intern?"

ESTELLE SIENNA LEE
TWENTY FIVE • REPORTER • ALEXIS BLEDEL
"i'm a reporter for shock magazine, which, trust me, is most definitely not
what i want to be doing with my life. all through my childhood, it was my
biggest dream to be a journalist, a real journalist. someone who traveled to
foreign countries and uncovered important stories that everyone needed to know.
but here i am, twenty five, working as a tabloid reporter. i got accepted to
both harvard and princeton after high school, but since i don't actually come
from a loaded family, i couldn't afford to go. i ended up at a state school, and
when i started looking around for jobs after i graduated, this is all i could get.
as for my personal life, i don't really have much of one. i'm pretty close with
some people at work, and i've been seeing this guy, sloane, who's actually
an advertising executive here. things are going pretty good."

ELOISE ASTER WOOD
THIRTY FOUR • REPORTER • EVA GREEN
"i work two jobs, i'm an escort and one of the best reporters shock has.
i used to have a cocaine addiction and got myself in debt, lots of debt.
my wages at shock won't cover it, and in fear of my life i began working
as an escort to help pay my debts off. yes i'm ashamed. but who's going
to want to help me?"

MAYA LEAH O'REILLY
TWENTY EIGHT • MOVIE REVIEWER • SCARLETT JOHANSSON
"i embody the ugly duckling story. no, really, i was the ugly duckling for
most of my life - i was awkward in middle school and always overlooked
in high school. sure, i had a nice-size chest, but i was so unconfident that
i hid it in the baggiest clothing imaginable. finally, in college, i grew into
my face and i started feeling less awkward. i've heard i'm beautiful, and
while i'm not sure how true that is, i know i feel better than i've ever felt
before. but i can't let go of my old habits as fare as the male species is
concerned. i don't know how to show anyone that i'm interested and i have
no idea how to fix my problem. i guess looks aren't everything."

TWENTY NINE • RELATIONSHIP ADVICE • KATHERINE HEIGL
"i have a love, hate, fuck me relationship with miller. i can't even
remember how it came about, we just ended up sleeping with each other
in the bathrooms at some shock christmas party. every time we see each
other, especially in public we bicker, then when he's texting me or we're
on the phone, he's actually sweet and kind. i'm falling for him, and i shouldn't
because he's the worlds biggest prick. maybe i should just continue my
fascination with voris. my favourite actor! yes, i do believe i will
quite possibly end up marring him one day"

HARPER DEAN ALLEN
THIRTY THREE • RELATIONSHIP ADVICE • KATE WINSLET
"i may write the relationship advice pages here at shock, but in reality
i'm not so good at it. ironic that i can advise people on their love life and
i don't even have one of my own. i've stopped letting people get in after
my husband died. i don't even get attached any more, i hardly know
anyone's first name and i tend to refer to them by surname. but i've noticed
martin, but trust me, i'm not going to let myself get hurt again."

---- ---- JOHNSTON
TWENTY FIVE • BOOK REVIEWER • MICHAELA MCMANUS
"i think my life is gong pretty well right now. i've got this job, and while i'm
not all that happy about working for a dirtbag tabloid, i can't say i don't like
it. and then there's hartley. he makes me happy, but ... he seems a little
preoccupied lately, almost like he's cheating on me. damn. maybe my life
isn't going so well after all."

SHOCK PHOTOGRAPHERS

TWENTY SEVEN • FEATURES PHOTOGRAPHER • ADAM BRODY
"so pretty much up until these last ten months, my life was... not really
exciting. i wasn't the most popular kid in high school, but i wasn't a complete
freak. i mean, i had friends, cameron and rosse for example.
we've known each other since high school. actually, rosse lived with
my family for the majority of our teenage years, since her homelife was...
never mind, that's not really my story to tell. anyway, i work for shock
magazine, taking pictures, which is kind of all i've been interested in my entire
life. and like i said, these past ten months... they've been different. for one,
i have a girlfriend, monroe, who's just completely gorgeous, funny, smart.
not to mention the fact that she's freaking famous, i mean, really. i scored.
but the thing is, she's getting distant, like she's not really here, for the past
two months or so. i don't know what i did, but i'm completely crazy about
her. i'd do anything to fix it."

---- ----- CAMERON
TWENTY EIGHT • ENTERTAINMENT PHOTOGRAPHER • JONATHAN TUCKER
"ok, so first of all, i just want to tell you this before i start in on describing
myself. i'm completely and totally, irrevocably in love with a lesbian.
i know. i'm an idiot. i really, really can't help it, trust me, i've tried to
change, i've dated other girls, i've put myself out there to find someone
else, but no matter what i do, lex rosse is always on my mind. but
she's not interested in me. hell, she's not even interested in my gender.
anyway, i work as a photographer for shock magazine, and i live with my
other best friend besides lex, murray. we've known each other since
high school. i'm also pretty sure that meyer's been hitting on me. but
she's lex rosse's girlfriend, so she's kind of off limits in a big way. i may
be totally off track too, since she always just seemed interested in girls."

TWENTY ONE • PHOTOGRAPHER • DANIEL RADCLIFFE
"florence she's my muse, i think she's the most beautiful girl in the world.
i'm a huge fan, and got to photograph her recently for a photoshoot she did
for shock. she was amazing. so timeless, so down-to-earth. she even said she'd
like to see me again, let me photograph her again. its just a fascination, but
my girlfriend (prouty) seem to think its an obsession. so i've followed her
a few times, videoed her out and about shopping. its nothing honestly, i'm not a stalker.
though, i've secretly been buying stolen items of florence's from yang.
of course on my wages i can't afford to actually buy them, so instead i've been
sleeping with yang. so florence is with my bestest friend in the whole world
williams, and i can't forgive him for that but i still need that stuff."

LIAM PADRIAC BRODY
TWENTY FIVE • ENTERTAINMENT PHOTOGRAPHER • JAMIE BELL
"i'm the clown of the office and i know it. i'm the goof, the spaz, the go-to
guy when you're having a bad day, and i don't mind the title at all. better
than 'the crazy irish guy', right? well, you'd think. but it's near impossible
for people to take me seriously, and that's starting to make things harder
and harder. i got the job because i made the hard-ass interviewer smile,
and i've kept it because i do a good job of translating my humor into my
work. i'm proud to say i'm one of the few people who can make silver
laugh at the drop of a hat, too. people think she's a bitch, but she's not
nearly as bad as everyone makes her out to be. actually, she's great -
beautiful, smart, interesting. blimey, what am i saying? i'm just the office
goof. she couldn't care less about me."

boyfriend, silverman, who's ridiculously sexy and loves me, not to
mention he's famous, though that's not really important, i thought i'd just add
it in. and i have a best friend, jackson, who's always there for me. i
sound like such a prissy little girl right now, but seriously. i'm happy. i've never
been this happy. let's just hope to spongebob that nothing gets screwed up."

TWENTY THREE • PHOTOGRAPHER • JESSICA SZHOR
"i'm really lucky to have rafferty and i know it. we've been best friends since
our childhoods, and it's always been an easy relationship for the two of us. even
in high school, when hormones struck, we were just friends and nothing more -
though he dated plenty of girls i knew weren't good enough for him and i told
him just that. but a few years ago, when he started dating that actress, champlin,
things ... changed. it wasn't that she wasn't nice, because she was, and he
obviously loved her. but it was heartbreaking seeing him smile at her that way,
look at her that way, touch her that way. and then i realized that i was jealous.
yeah, i'm in love with my best friend, and it sucks. and wait, it gets even better.
when the two of them broke up, i took rafferty out for the night, and we both
got drunk. no, we didn't sleep together, but i did make the decision to tell him
how i feel. we both brushed it off the next morning and i assured him it was
just because i was pissed as a skunk, but i don't know if he fully believed me.
things haven't been awful, but i'm starting to feel like i should come clean, even
if it means putting my heart on the line. i just can't live a lie, you know?"

"people say my life is sweet, and i suppose they're right. then again, it wasn't
always that way. i struggled with an eating disorder throughout my teenaged
years and into my early twenties, one that put me into the hospital three times.
but i went to rehab and overcame it, and yes, rehab was absolutely the best
thing to ever happen to me. i finally have a normal life - a good job, good health,
and decent living conditions. i couldn't be happier. honestly."

TWENTY FIVE • INDEPENDENT PHOTOGRAPHER • EVAN RACHEL WOOD
"people think i'm a bitch and i'm completely aware of it. honestly? i'm not.
i'm just not a people person, really, and it's always been hard for me to make
friends and connect with people. it took brody a long time before we could be
considered friends, too, and i'm kind of surprised he kept at it so persistently.
but i'm glad he did, because i've really taken a shine to him. he's smarter than
anyone gives him credit for, incredibly funny, and just a great person overall.
and he has this weird ability to make me explode into a fit of giggles at the
drop of a hat ... and yes, he's adorable. i don't understand why i like him so
much, but i do, and i'm starting to wonder if it extends beyond friendship. not
that anything would ever come of it. i'm just the standoffish photographer,
after all. i'm not quite girlfriend material."

"i had a little girl with my ex boyfriend (rose) but i never knew he'd turn out to be
such a prick. he never see's her or me, and what sucks most of all is that i

be a family with me and our little girl."

"the worst feeling in the world is guilt. and i'm feeling a whole fucking lot
of it right now. i bet met this girl in some bar, i don't remember which,
i was that drunk. but this girl wasn't exactly sober. i wouldn't exactly say
we got talking, because i can't remember much. but i ended up taking her
to my place, from the way she was i thought she was a virgin, but she
was close to being an animal under the sheets. i woke up the next morning
to find she was gone, and i didn't even know her name. then, when i
turned upto work, i was going to sit in one some interview with some actress.
and it was her, florence. the girl i'd slept with the previous night.
i may have been drunk but i knew straight away it was her! she's the girl
my best friend is obsessed with, and i'd gotten to sleep with her. it isn't
enough though, she's left me wanting more. ha, i know if i'm not careful i'll
end up obsessed like lockwood. she doesn't seem to trust me though,
maybe she thinks i'm just interested in some kind of a story, but i will get
her, and i don't care if it'll cause world war three with my best friend."

hope they'll get over it someday. until then, i've got moores. she's just

it was more his idea than mine. i wasn't sure i wanted to leave behind

we both managed to get jobs at shock and it seems to be a nice place to
work, particularly with all the friends i've made - brody and ringer, to name
a few. though i have to say, i'm a little concerned about ringer. it's not
that i don't trust jax, because he's my best friend and is like a brother to
me, but i'm worried he's going to push her to do things she's just not
ready for. i'm so confused. stuck in the middle is the worst place to be."

guess the only solution is to lose my virginity ... right? and i think i know
the perfect girl for the job, if you'll pardon my language. i met westen at
a photoshoot not that long ago, and i've heard enough about her to know
she doesn't quite keep her legs closed. maybe she'll be the girl to do the

my family made me. i want to act, but agents won't pick me up and i've
never gotten a callback, but i'll get something eventually, i just know it!
until then, i've got family connections in shock, which is pretty much how i
got into the magazine in the first place, and yeah, people hate me for it.
not like i care. when i'm famous, they'll all be kissing my ass and wishing
they were nicer to me. but, hey, at least i've got preston (nj). he's so
into me that it's not even funny. and he doesn't care if i come on a little

became a local hit, and now my show is watched everywhere. it's
fun and i love doing it, but i'm wondering if it's so smart of me to
give so much personal information out to the world. i think there

take it to the police - or even to tell anyone about it. and it's really

all of it and the passion was gone. so now i'm working at shock, and
okay, i don't love it. but i do like it, and it's given me the opportunity
to even meet a few celebrities when i help out with photoshoots - like

"i hate my job. i'm probably the only intern stupid enough to stick with
a job they hate, too. i don't even want to work for a magazine - what i
want to do is to write novels, but my parents said they wouldn't pay for
college unless i got an internship somewhere that could get me a stable
job, and i've always been good with these sorts of things, so i took it up.
but as much as i dislike my job, it has given me the chance to meet some
decent people - like gellar and jax, my current boyfriend. and i think i
might be falling for jax. i've never felt this way about anyone. at the
same time, i'm really inexperienced, and he's ... well, not. i'm not sure
i'm ready to climb into bed with him, but i don't want to lose him. i can't.
i love him and it scares me. this is all just moving so quickly. i don't know
how to hold on without gripping too tightly or letting go."

have used my good looks to get by in life. my grades were so shot i couldn't
get into college, so i was forced to take a job as a janitor at this shit tabloid.

"want to know what's awkward? when your best friend suddenly decides that,
hey, she's in love with you. yeah. that's kind of my situation. it started when
my friend benning introduced me to champlin, this gorgeous actress i fell in
love with almost instantly. but things didn't work out, and eventually we broke
up. yeah, it broke my heart. so my best friend, welch, took me out for a night
on the town. i figured it was a good way to keep from calling champlin and
trying to fix things, so i took up the offer, and the night ended with us getting
piss-drunk and her telling me she's in love with me. it's weird, you know? i
never saw her in that light before, but after she said it, i felt ... this shift. sure,
it was a drunken shift, but it was a shift, and i was going to deal with it. but
the next day she went on this entire rant about how she didn't mean it, she
was just drunk, and i didn't know how to handle it. i don't think i believe her,
but you never know. i think i need to tell her how i feel, but i'll admit, i'm
scared shitless to do just that."

at a magazine called shock - thanks, university, for once in my life - and it's
pretty cool here. i've even got myself a beautiful, amazing girlfriend, ringer.
she's innocent and it's a nice change from some of the sluts i used to date,
but on the other hand, she's not ready for sex - and i am. sure, i was willing

funny, sweet; everything i wanted and more. but her family had problems and
i knew the time was never right for us, so i held back. but i thought when we
graduated, we would finally have our chance. too bad she left before i could
make a move. yeah, she left - without a word or anything. i found out later
that she went off to hollywood to put her pageant skills to good use, and it just
about killed me. i never got over her, you know? and i'm still not over her. and
what sucks even more is that i'm now having to be her enemy, of sorts. after
i myself graduated, i did go to college, but instead of following my major, i ...
well, i was still furious and hurt that my best friend had left without telling me
where or why. and i think that's why i became a part of the paparazzi. only in
new york, of course. i'd never try to stalk her - that would be creepy and horrible
and it just wouldn't happen. but ... well, things got even more complicated when
she moved to new york. i can't exactly quit my job or move out of the city, you
know? i have a life here. but i've seen her more and more lately and i know i'm
still in love with her. of course, she doesn't know i'm here, at least, i don't think

so much better than silverman. i mean, he's cheating on her! of course
i know this, as soon as she started seeing him, i pretty much made it my personal
mission to dig up dirt on him so she won't want him anymore. i know, i'm petty.
but now that i have all the evidence that he's messing around with someone

i'm perfectly happy with us as we are. what, does he think i'm going to

parents died last year and they're all so much younger than me. i
started stealing stuff from florence to sell onto obsessive fans. then i
met lockwood, he was so amazing, a little obsessive about florence

i did have a relationship a few years ago with rafferty, but it just didn't work

probably shouldn't be doing much of that. really, i need some advice myself.
benning is smart and dedicated and everything i look for in a guy, but he's

"i'm having a hard time... two months ago i was in a car accident,
i lost my husband, my mother, and my company. the only thing tying
me to this world is my son, jamie. he's my lifeline. i was recently
offered a position to be a presenter for fashion on tv, i took the job,
but now i'm not so sure. nothing is certain, i could loose everything
in a second. all i know is that if i didn't have my jamie,
i wouldn't be here."

JAYNE ADAIR MONROE
TWENTY FIVE • ACTRESS • RACHEL BILSON
"i've been acting for about ten years now, since i was fifteen. i started out
on tv, but after the show i was on for like, six years ended, i got involved
with movies. i love it, i really do. i get paid for doing what i love to do.
and what i really love is that i'm not so famous that i can't hang out with
normal, non-famous people. i mean, by boyfriend's not famous, alot of
my friends aren't either. like rosse and meyer, i love them, really.
since about two months ago, though, i found something out that's pretty
much destroyed my life. see, my mom died of huntingtons when i was
twelve, and two months ago, i found out i was positive for the huntington's
gene. so i'm going to die. maybe not anytime soon, but eventually i'm going
to lose the ability to control my own body, and then i'll die. and this'll happen
before i get the chance to turn fifty. i've been involved with this guy, murray
for almost a year now, and i love him, i really do. he's amazing, he's smart
and completely hilarious and he can keep me entertained for more than an
hour, which is really saying something. but he wants to get married, have
kids. and i can't do that. i can't get married, because i don't want to put
him through the pain that my dad went through when my mom got sick,
and i can't have kids because i don't want to pass this gene on. and i can't
tell him because i know he'll say it doesn't matter. but it does."

CITIZENS

MOLLY MADYSON MEYER
TWENTY SEVEN • TEACHER • MISCHA BARTON
"i've always been the girl who sat back and watched while things went
wrong in my life, and from here on out, that's going to change. i've been
with lex rosse (i'm bisexual) for almost two years now, and things were
good, fantastic, even. but she's always distracted, and no matter what i do, it
always seems like she's somewhere else, with someone else. and i love
her, i really do, but i can't keep keeping myself distracted with work (i'm an
elementary school teacher in brooklyn). i want to keep my relationship
but if she's not fully in this, then i can't be either. and don't tell anyone, ok?
but i've been thinking about cameron more and more lately. yeah, i
know. i follow the heart, not the anatomy."

* AN OPEN CHARACTER, BUT FOR PLOT PURPOSES, THIS NAME MUST BE
USED.

JAQUELINE FRANCES GREY
TWENTY NINE • FREELANCE HAIR STYLIST • KATHERINE MOENNIG
"i'm jack, i'm gay, and i can't stand commitments. honestly, when has there
ever been a positive side to sticking around with one person for the rest of
your life? they either end up hating you, resenting you, or annoying you. the
only person i've met that has even caught my eye as a 'keeper' is lex rosse.
damn, is that girl attractive or what? not only is she attractive, she's smart. a
fucking double threat. ohhh, wait, and she's a good fuck, ding ding ding! we've
got ourselves a triple threat! but again, there is always a downside to things,
she's got a girlfriend. imagine that."

---- ---- BURTON
TWENTY-TWO • COFFEEHOUSE OWNER • JOHN PATRICK AMEDORI
"i won the lottery two years ago. crazy, right? i went from being a poor
college student to being able to buy whatever i wanted with my billion-dollar
jackpot, and life has been sweet ever since. i bought my own coffeehouse, a
dream of mine, and i've been invited to tons of great parties. yeah, i know it's
all because of my newfound wealth, but i'm not going to lie, it's kind of fun. i
even have made friends with a few celebrities, like champlin. she's cool. the
only bad thing? my mom, who left when i was nine and never wanted anything
to do with my family, is now back in my life and trying to get money out of me.
i've been pretty good at blocking her out, but i feel bad about it. after all, she's
my mom, even if she is a lying bitch."

---- ---- CAROLINA
TWENTY-FOUR • PROTEST ORGANIZER • AUTUMN REESER
"my parents were hippies and i'm proud to say that i've followed in their green
footsteps. i have an environmentally-friendly car, i'm a vegan, and i even am in
charge of a variety of protests in and around new york city. my goal is to make
the city a nicer place instead of the shithole it kind of is right now. but lately, all
there's one guy getting in the way of that. summers is an ass - he's a smoker,
he wastes, he goes against almost everything i stand for. but he's hot as hell
and ... fine, i'll say it. we've been having hate sex for about a year now and it's
starting to interfere with my work. i don't know what his motive is, but i probably
shouldn't see him anymore. hah, like it's that easy."

---- ---- SWAN
THIRTY • AUTHOR • ERICA DURANCE
"i have this bad habit of following around the paparazzi. kind of weird, right?
after all, that's what they do for a living themselves, and that's why people
hate them so much. but i can't help it! i think they're fascinating, and they're
actually the subject of my next book. well, more accurately, morriss is the
subject of my new book. come on, i can't be the only one who finds it
completely compelling that the once-stalked is now the stalker! it's a good
thing my friend worthson is his coworker, right? now i've got a valid
excuse to tail him ... for literary purposes, of course."

---- ---- SUMMERS
TWENTY-SEVEN • MECHANIC • CAM GIGANDET
"i grew up in brooklyn in a rough neighborhood and i know how to hold my
own in a fight. so forgive me if i'm not the most sensitive, cuddly guy around.
i know the world is a shit place and i'm not about to run around telling everyone
to hug trees the way carolina does. she's one of the most annoying chicks i've
ever met, but i'm strangely attracted to her. we've been having some pretty
hot sex for a while now, but i think she's starting to get paranoid. i don't know
what she's got to be paranoid about - i couldn't give less of a shit about her
treehugging affairs as long as she's good in the sack."

RIDLEY DEMETRIA SHEPARD
NINETEEN • PERSONAL ASSISTANT TO CHAMPLAIN • TAYLOR MOMSEN
"i just moved to new york earlier this year against my parents' wishes. they
wanted me to go to business school back home in indiana, but i know it's not
for me, no matter what they say. besides, i've done so well for myself! i got
a job as a personal assistant to one of the most popular and talented actresses
in the business, champlain, and i get along really well with my boss - i look up
to her like a sister, you know? i've made friends, too, though i have yet to find
a good guy. i might be interested in pascal, but i'm old-fashioned. he needs
to make the first move. but if he does, well, i think we could be great."

---- ---- DAY
TWENTY-EIGHT • NANNY • BETHANY JOY GALEOTTI
"i've never gotten why people love sports so much. and no, it's not because i'm
some bitter person who sucked at them as a kid and wants to wreak revenge on
all athletes. i just think they're a waste of time and that athletes are completely
overpaid. i pretty much don't date them on prinicpal. which is a shame, because
launkits is an extremely attractive guy. but he's cocky and annoyingly dedicated to
a sport i hate, and i can't deal with that. i stick to my convictions, even if those
convictions are about something as trivial as basketball."

JEFFREY LEE LEWIS
THIRTY-TWO • LAWYER • JAMES MARSDEN
"i've been told i'm a pretty logical person. i'm methodical and i'm smart, i take
my time and i don't rush things. but i'm a good person nonetheless, and when i
love someone, i treat them well. and i love winstead. she's an amazing woman
and perfect for me, although she can't seem to see that. right now, she's in the
midst of choosing between me and some man named bishop, and i have to say,
that makes me a little uncomfortable. i love her, but i don't know how much
longer i'm going to be able to play this game of hers."

---- ---- DANIELS
TWENTY-NINE • HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL COACH • ANTWON TANNER
"they thought i would be the next nba star, and, well, i did, too. i was mvp of
my high school team and of my college team and they were talking about drafting
me when i hurt myself. yeah, the leg injury changed my life, and not for the
better. i can't play anymore - i've been reduced to coaching a high school team,
and while the guys are all great, it's not the same. i've had problems with
depression and it's been getting worse lately, but i don't want to run to a doctor.
after all, they're what fucked up my leg in the first place. why should i trust them?"

GAVIN EZEKIEL PRESTON
EIGHTEEN • UNIVERSITY STUDENT • NICK JONAS
"i hate my brother. we used to be close back before he was famous, and we
were even in a band together. honestly? we were split: he had the charisma,
i had the music and the talent. but it was the charisma all those record execs
were going for, and when they realized i wasn't the one who had it, they picked
him up and dropped me like shit. to add insult to injury, my brother's been taking
my songs and giving himself credit for them. he's trying to bribe me into staying
quiet, but i don't know how much longer i can take it. oh, and i have i mentioned
that there's this chick following me around? yeah, this garcia girl won't leave me
alone, even though i've tried to tell her i'm not interested fifty times. i just don't
like her and that's not going to change. she's delusional. god, things were so much
simpler when i was younger."

---- ---- GAVIN
THIRTY • CLUB BOUNCER • BRIAN AUSTIN GREEN
"i've been trying to break into the movie business for a while as an action star,
but things haven't worked out very well. i don't really like my job, but it pays the
bills and it's introduced me to a few hot girls, too. i think the problem is that i
don't have the connections, but i've been trying to make them lately - sucking up
to my boss, the celebrities at the club, the other bouncers, anyone that can get
me an audition somewhere. people tell me i should move out to hollywood for
more auditions, but i could never leave new york. damn. i'm stuck in a rut and
there's no way out of it, is there?"

NOUVEL ANNA SLOANE
NINETEEN • UNIVERSITY STUDENT • HAYDEN PANETTIERE
"i'm a freshman at NYU, but i live with my older brother (well, half-brother),
sloane (mv), in brooklyn. when i was nine, my asshole of a dad ditched
me with my brother, who was only twenty at the time. and he took care of
me even though he was still in school. i love him for that, i really do. but
after all that with my dad i have some issues with guys. mainly, i just have
trouble trusting them. my old therapist called it a fear of abandonment and i
guess she was right. but i'm getting over it, i think, i mean, i've dated.
nothing crazy serious, but i have."
