The Emerson Family

The Emerson Family

Think having a brother or sister is hard, try having six. In a family with seven teenagers, it can be hard to stand out. Each kid is different, and it's up to their parents to keep them all in line. That probably won't happen though. Because, hey, everyone knows the best thing to do at midnight is go raccoon chasing, right? Or maybe midnight is for sneaking out and partying. It varies from kid to kid. Well, if you're an Emerson that is.

The Emerson's live in West Maple Montana, and live a pretty normal life. They are a basic upper-middle class family, but have seven kids all of whom want to be their parents pride and joy. Most of them do, anyway. They are all home schooled, but have plenty of friends around the neighborhood.

This is the story of the Emerson kids, and it's going to be wild.

Spoiler

Label in the family: the mediator

Personality: She is really sweet, and has a caring personality. She is a lot of fun, and doesn't try to hurt anyone. She tends to keep the peace in the house, and offers support for anyone who is having a bad day. Bethie is very insightful. She can cheer anyone up, and is always positive. She can be a bit shy at times, though, and doesn't stand out a lot. She gets pushed around a lot, and is easily hurt. She has trouble with her own identity sometimes, and doesn't really know who she is yet.

Favorite past times/hobbies: She plays guitar a little. She is a good singer, but won't admit it. She likes spending time in the woods behind her house, and spending nights looking up at the stars. She enjoys rollerblading and bowling. She also goes to the movies a lot with her best friend.

Name: Avery Emerson

Family given nickname: Ave

Age: 13

Picture:

Spoiler

Label in the family: the artist

Personality: Airy and flighty, never on one topic for long, unless it's her art. She's ethereal and floaty, wispy, almost. She's the zoner-outer of the family, often seen staring into space. She's a bit of an oddball, and tends to drift off on her own. She's the one people worry about, because even though she is smart, she doesn't seem to connect with the world. She says she's unhindered, others say she's messed up in the head. All in perspective. One of the most thoughtful of the Emerson girls, and the most concerned about the environment. Despite her spaced-out nature, she is very sensitive, and will be deeply hurt by someone even subtly hinting at a fault of hers.

Favorite past times/hobbies: Art, majorly. She sketches and paints, and is always splashed with paint to prove it. She plays guitar too, and constantly has music on. Has a few artsy friends, is often raiding the pantry or the art museum.

Likes/dislikes: Likes sketching, painting, her name, her messy hair, music, fruit, lemonade, rocky road, and her family. Dislikes loud people, sports, people thinking she's a boy, people straightening her hair, screamo, cantaloupe, grape juice, cotton candy, and the neighborhood boys.

Bedroom:

Theme: Someday, by Rob Thomas

Other: Paints each nail a different color. Has a room on the top floor with a huge, huge window and window seat for artsy flare-ups.

now it does

Um... it does for me, but I'll try and fix it. One sec.

I haven't been in a SB in a while, so why not?

Name: Xavier (Zavier) Emerson

Family given nickname: Zavvie, Zave, Zav... anything like that, really. It depends on the person talking to him. Either that or prick, especially by the older family members.

Age: 19

Picture: Something like this: http://weheartit.com/entry/1989677

Label in the family: The smart ass rebel, I guess...

Personality: Xavier is one of the oldest family members and he hates it. He feels as though his younger siblings are always getting in his way. When he's in the house, which is rarely, he's normally in his room with his stereo turned up. Considering Xavier's 19, he thinks that he can do whatever he wants. He drinks, smokes, steals, sleeps with girls, and does practically everything else. He's a pretty cocky kid who acts as though he couldn't care less about anything. Truthfully though, he cares greatly about his family but he would never in a million years admit it. Instead, he just acts like a complete idiot and gets on his parents nerves. He can't wait until he gets the opportunity to move out of the family home. He can't though because he spends all of his money on rubbish.

Favorite past times/hobbies: Drinking, smoking, sleeping, doing absolutely nothing, making music, fighting, annoying his parents.

Likes/dislikes: Likes: Girls, partying, doing what he wants, having a good time, making fun of his younger siblings, showing off, Being a bad influence. Dislikes: Living with six siblings, the house when it gets too noisy, his parents, anything educational, leaving his room while he's at home.

Bedroom: This kind of thing, but a lot messier.

Spoiler

Theme: Perfect song for him, I think.

Other: Xavier is closer to his sisters than his brothers, simply because he doesn't get along to well with other guys.

I claim a person! I'll post a profile in a minute.

One more girl, tops. We need at least three boys minimum.

We already have three girls and one guy. So one more girl.

*will finish later...and she's a girl*

Name: Grace Emerson

Family given nickname: Rave

Age: (13-18) 17

Picture: (remember, keep them looking somewhat similar, they are related)

Spoiler

She dyed her hair black, it used to be brunette. She also has her nose pierced and lip pierced (shown in picture) and she also has her tongue and belly button pierced.

Label in the family: (the jock, the singer, the bookworm) The Rocker

Personality: Grace doesn't really care about anyone else in the family.. Her whole heart and soul is into rock. She's the one in the family that goes to concerts, blares music from her radio, and knows everything about rock. She's really outgoing and super crazy.

Favorite past times/hobbies: Going to rock concerts, listening to rock in her radio and ipod, playing her electric guiatar, drawing designs of tatoos she wants to get when she can (she's only good at drawing when it's something she wants to draw and if it's going to end up somewhere on her body), writing music, hanging out with her band

Likes/dislikes: Likes-Rock, her band, her brothers, tatoos, piercings, her guiatar, rock bands, concerts.
Dislikes-Her goody-too-shoes sisters, the game Rock Band (they got her all excited with the word Rock but once she played it she thought it sucked and she still does), soft music, Taylor Swift, Being told what to do (she'll always do the opposite, unless she knows you're just trying to get her to do the opposite of what you tell her)

Just a note, I had to change one thing on the profile. It originally said 13-18 and I realized unless they had a set of twins or something similar, it wasn't possible to have one kid each age when there was seven kids. So now the profile says 13-19. My mistake. Sorry.

Name: Justin Emerson

Family given nickname: JJ

Age: 18

Picture:

Spoiler

Label in the family: The jock/Church goer (:

Personality: Everyone thinks Justin has been the perfect kid since highschool. He loves his God, his family, his high school, and his teams. He, however, hates his brother. He always tried to follow God's will to love everyone, but it's impossible for him and his older brother to get along. Simply impossible. His older brother, however, is the only one that ever knew of Justin's secret. His everyday life involves school, football, and his girlfriend, the cheer captain, Tiffani Willis. Nobody, except Xavier, know of the girl he got pregnant while in a drunken daze. Now, Justin has to spend most of his time away from home to be with his daughter, and away from the girl who shares the same halls as him.

Favorite past times/hobbies: Football, baseball, basketball, guitar playing, singing, church, and playing with his son.

Likes/dislikes: Loves his daughter, church, sports, and almost everything else. Hates his brother, and the fact the girl he got pregnant and truely loves wants nothing to do with him.

Picture:

Spoiler

Label in the family: the musician

Personality: He's not very involved in the family, and spends a lot of his time up in his room writing songs or out of the house with his friends. He tends to be quiet at home, and only spends any real time with his twin, and sometimes Ave. He doesn't really get along too well with most of the others, because they can't seem to understand him, and likewise he doesn't understand them. He tends to be very philosophical, and focuses more on his future than anything else. He wants a different life than what he has.

Favorite past times/hobbies: He plays guitar, sings a lot, teaches his twin guitar, writes music, hangs out with his friends, and also really likes street hockey for no particular reason

Likes/dislikes: Likes his twin, the guitar, his friends, street hockey, his crazy fantasies about him becoming famous, singing. Dislikes most of his siblings, large crowds, public speaking and annoying people

Yay, we can start now!!!

Bethie

I yawned and stretched, then looked over at my clock. It was one of those special clocks that told that date and the temperature and date and stuff along with the time. I was almost positive that the temperature thing was defective, because last year on Christmas, there was snow on the ground and the temperature read one hundred and eleven degrees. Maybe it was just me, but my opinion was that it didn't work.

Everything else was correct, though. It was nine thirty a.m. Today was October 13th, in other words the day I had to start working on my Halloween costume. I got a lot of crap from my older brothers abut still going trick-or-treating even though I was fifteen, but they just didn't know how to have fun.

Me and Ave were going to make our costumes together, because she as better at sewing than I was. We hadn't decided on anything yet for what we were going to be, but it was going to be awesome. This year there was a Halloween costume party at the teens club, and Ave was officially old enough to attend.

But for now, it was breakfast time. I went over to my mirror, and put on my slippers. I brushed my hair out, and then went in the bathroom and brushed my teeth.

I walked downstairs, and mumbled a "Good morning," accompanied by a yawn to my mom. As usual, I was the first one up. I poured myself a cup of coffee and went over to the table to look at the A.C. Moore section of the advertisements. They usually had good costumes, and I needed ideas.

I heard a set of footsteps on the stairs, and hoped it wasn't one of my older brothers. It was too early in the morning, and I wasn't in the mood to be teased.

Xavier

What a load of crap.

My new stereo had miraculously broken. I had no idea which one of the little idiots had done it this time, but I didn't really give a damn either. No matter what I did, the kids in this house broke something of mine every day. I'd woken up way to early for my liking this morning thanks to the stupid birds that were literally screaming outside my bedroom window. They were still yelping their guts out as I forced myself out of bed. At this rate, I was going to grab one of my guitars and smash it against the window. That would shut them up.

Laughing to myself at the thought, I banged my stereo, still annoyed about it not working. Passing my closet, I hesitated slightly. To be perfectly honest, I couldn't be bothered to get dressed today. Besides, I was warm, there was no harm in walking around in my boxers. I walked out of my room, slamming the door behind me. That should wake them all up, I grinned to myself, whistling cheerfully. My siblings woke me up every morning, it was about time I woke them all up for a change.

Not bothering to go into the bathroom for whatever reason, I jogged down the stairs, still whistling. With any luck, I'd be the first one up. If that was the case, I might have been able to leave the house before all of the chaos started. Mind you, I'd have to get dressed first. On second thought, I may as well have stayed in for the day. The little kids might do something interesting today, maybe?

"Yo, lard ass." I winked at Bethie as I entered the kitchen.

Bethie simply turned to me and scowled, resulting in me laughing back at her. She was clearly very glad to see me. I didn't know what her problem was; she was constantly trying to make everything peaceful and calm. Pfft, sod that, have some fun for once. I should have introduced her to alcohol sometime or something. That was certainly on my 'to do' list.

"Xavier," my mum narrowed her eyes at me, "please don't start."

"I wouldn't dream of it, mom." I smiled sarcastically, grabbing a carton of milk from the fridge before lifting it to my mouth.
