Edward Bryce Kelly Age: 19 Occupation: Freshman at Newhaven University Hobbies: Angst, All things Music, Mountain Climbing, Sleeping Edward grew up in a rural community of disenfranchised miners and jaded hippies in the mountains of Colorado. He can easily navigate his way through the wilderness, but Ed still has issues with big cities... Or most of civilization, for that matter.He has a strong affinity for all things natural, which manifests in a relatively "simple" lifestyle.Ed is not a luddite but he does tend to have a significant number of gaps in his understanding of all things technical. Ed is a freshman at Newhaven University this year and finds himself caught between being a dreamer and a burgeoning cynic.He is obsessed with the tiniest of details which sometimes can make him seem vacant or aloof to people who don't know him as well.Back in Ed's highschool days, he was a typical over-achiever who always pushed himself to the edge of his capabilities.He is someone who has yet to be truly challenged by anything as far as education goes.As part of his continuing struggle, Ed must learn to adapt to a far more faster paced game of survival: being social with other college students.

Michael Andrew Davos Age: 20 Occupation: Freshman at Newhaven University Hobbies: Computers, Coffee, People-Watching, Reading Mike has lived in a small city in southern Oregon for as long as he can remember.He lost his father at a young age and was raised by his mother until he was 11.Growing up, he was described as a quiet child who was easy to startle and slow to make friends.Mike was a natural with almost anything electronic and tended to construct computers and electronic devices well beyond his age.He trusts the reliable logic and simplicity of machines in the sense that even the most complicated problem has a reasonable cause and solution, unlike people. Mike's teenage years were haphazard at best and damning at worst as he finds himself at Newhaven on a conditional admission pending the results of his first term. He has never been strongly engaged in school prior to this moment in time and only now is beginning to consider what he wants out of life. Mike has always been someone who has questioned the point of doing an assignment or task just for the sake of proving he can do it, looking instead to meaning and purpose. Now he must do the same with his own life and find his own reasons to exist and to move forward.

Alas, shortly before he shipped off to Newhaven, Nick's rebellious stage kicked in. Now he wants nothing more than listen to legally acquired and socially acceptable counter-culture music and to hang out with like minded people. Currently, he is (the only) dues-paying member of the Neo-goths and the designated 'feeder' for Vivian.

The Jock Age: 25 Occupation: Student at Newhaven Universtiy (Still) Hobbies: Spectating for any sport The Jock always wanted to be the quarterback in high school for the rest of his life.

As a result of this, he was sidelined from the team and seemingly lost his sense of purpose in life. Now The Jock spends most of his time watching all kinds of sports and shouting his own suggestions over the audience at home games.
