Young Writers Society

On one warm, July night, at a university in Los Angels, seven young adults found a watch that could control the time. One person, a brilliant inventor, figures out how to duplicate the technology, putting it into seven non descript cell phones. Then they put the watch back in the same spot to avoid any suspicion.
That is how it all began.
They decided to use the time-device for good, saving people, hunting down bad guys and the likes. Then, a couple of them do a small back heist, and just like that, the line dividing the good and the bad has been made.
Then they discover that someone-the government-is trying to kill them and take the device for themselves. They have to work together to survive.

Character Sheet


DT Link~ topic74172.html

Boo. Scar here. Profile will be below.

Edit: Profile!

Name: Leah Harris.

Age: 19.

Gender: Female.

Appearance: Leah is only about 5'5 with dark hazel-brown eyes. She's in no way shy, even if she first appears that way. She's bold, blunt and, on some occasions, really loud. She likes to be rowdy, a little in-your-face and mischievous. She tends to play pranks on people and likes to change her appearence to fool others. Recently dyed her once-blond, barely shoulder length hair a nice, dark, blood red. Prone to smiling and/or smirking a lot, usually at nothing in particular, she often seems like a jerk. (Yes, girls can be jerks too >.>) Often wears lback, ankle-high boots, black clothing and a dark brown jacket which appears to be leather.

Personality: As a talented actress and spy, Leah tends to change appearances weekly, and likes to do this to confuse, fool or prank others. She loud, bold and blunt, but honest and truthful? Probably not. Although, not everything she says is a lie. She has a nifty Aussie accent and tends not to be missed when in a room, with a group of people or even
just walking down the street. She loves playing the actress--anything from sweet, shy and innocent to a total drama queen. Highly dislikes when people interrupt her and sometimes has trouble distinguishing between her 'real' personality and that of the 'character' she's playing. Keep an eye on her, she may just slip up--like, really, really badly.

Flaws: Loud, bold and blunt. Can't stop lying, though she's not lying all the time. Can't distinguish between the Real Leah and the different characters she plays--and when this happens, she may slip up, so watch her closely.

Rank: Spy.

Do you go bad? Yes.

If so, why? Power, wealth, control, etc. Who wouldn't go bad after that?

History: Leah grew up in Australia and moved to LA when she was around 18. She had a fairly normal childhood, except from an early age she was quite the actress and would often lie to her parents. She was also a really loud and bold child. The only shyness you ever saw was most likely an act. Leah's parents were rich business people, dealing in the Art side of it. Often, Leah would see a painting or a piece of art that had been stolen several years ago turn up in her parents' art gallery. Ever since, she believed her parents to be thieves or something like that. It turned out to be true, for not long after seventeenth birthday, a group of Government people came around. Leah was spying on them and they didn't even know--and then her mother threw open the door. That was the beginning of her spy adventures and how she ended up in an LA University.

Up for love: Sure, why not?

Name: Fae Little (Prefers Five)

Age: 22

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Personality: Fae is highly trained in kick boxing, but that doesn't mean she's out kicking everyone's butts. She's actually a really friendly girl. She's in school for accounting, not fighting. Her taking up kick boxing was for self defense. She likes to entertain. Fae does have a short fuse though, she's easily irritated and can go from really nice to leave me alone with the snap of the fingers.

Flaws: Short tempered, easily persuaded, easily confused.

Rank: Fighter

History: Fae lost her parents when she was young, and ended up having to fend for herself for a while. Until she was taken to an orphanage. She was one of the children who was never adopted. She was told she would never amount to anything, so she proved them wrong. She went to school, she applied for University and she got accepted. She's knows a lot about daggers and short swords as well, kind of a pass time of her's.

Up for love: Yup

He prefers to do things in his own time, and when he feels like it. He hates conflict and will do anything to avoid it. He believes strongly in karma, signs, and omens. Because of this he is superstitious and a bit paranoid at times.

He is a pacifist that refuses to engage in a fight unless it is completely unavoidable. Even then he is hesitant. To add to this he does not eat meat and even considers killing bugs to be wrong. He does several meditative exercises and uses scented candles and incense to centre himself. He has taken the art of Tai chi, strictly for its health and body benefits.

History: Philippe was born in France and lived there until he was 10. He moved to the States with his family after their house burned to the ground and the Bontecou’s took this as a sign to move.

Though he shows no outward emotion towards the abuse, he's a boiling cauldron of anger deep inside.

He does promise himself though, that if he ever had a chance to hurt or kill those who torture him, he will take it.

History: James grew up a little different than other students. He advanced most of his grades in elementary school, which lead to a lot of kids picking on him. High school was worse because he was a fifteen year old Senior, having already left most of kids his age behind. When people picked on him at school he found sanctuary in the IT room at his school where he learned programming, and inadvertently, hacking. He graduated when he was sixteen years old, and has been going to college for the past five years for advanced robotics and programming. Even in college though there are those who pick on him because he stays in his dorm when not in class, but he has found a group of friends with his IT skills.

Camryn | Lab

I stood with the others, looking around. The lab was actually well-lit, not exactly like what you would see in the movies. We were all perched differently, I was on a lab table, some were on the floor, and a couple others were standing up.

“What exactly will this do, again?” I asked. We had been there for a couple of hours, with Lucas telling us he found something that could change our lives. Lucas merely ignored me.

“Time.” Lucas said, “We’ll be able to control time.” I nodded. That could come into importance. He turned to face us. He clutched ten non descript cell phones.

“If you want to speed up time,” he said, “just hit the talk button. If you want to stop speeding up, hit the end button.” I took my phone from him.

“Sounds simple.” I said, adjusting the noisy bangles on my wrist. I raised my eyebrows at him.

“Is that it?” I asked.

"Be very, very careful." Lucas warned and continued to hand out the cell phones.

Autumn: Lab

I watched as Lucas handed out the phones to the others, one by one, telling each of them about how careful they should be and yatta yatta. Gathering up my drive, which was almost nonexistent, I got up from the corner of the lab and made my way to Lucas, carefully veering around a box labeled "TOXIC".

" Okay, here," Lucas handed me the phone. " You must be very careful with this, you understand? It is of the utmost importance that you..."

"We get it! We get it! Give us a break." James juggled his phone from and to hand, a smirk nestled on his face. "Stop time eh? This could come in handy."

"How in the world did you pull this off?" I questioned. Lucas turned to me and cleared his throat, ready to let his lecture begin, but Will was faster. "How does it matter? We've got the world in our palms! We can do anything we want!"

"That is how it may seem," I countered. "but we need to be organized, to have a plan. Any ideas?"
