But when they unveil the clone of a Wooly Mammoth, everything goes wrong. The mammal crashes from it's cage, and rampages through the city. While scientists fled from the wild mammal, more clones broke out, taking their toll on the city.

Name: Umalii

Age: 19

History: Umalii is indeed an odd name, if that's what you were thinking about. Her mother was an extremely creative person (and artist) and had made up seven other names before she was happy with Uma's. Her father was a richer man, so they were upper class. He was a very successful business man, and also a musician.

Her parents had met at a party being hosted by a mutual friend and they hooked up. After a few weeks of dating they found out her mom was pregnant. They married before Uma was born, but it was a shock. Her mom was supposed to be infertile. Uma was considered a medical miracle, but her mother was unable to have any other children after that. Her mom was 21 when she was born, her father was 28.

With all this creativity in her family you have to be expecting her to be creative, and she is. She's a dancer. A very good dancer at that. She took dancing classes since she was old enough to do the splits, and when her parent's discovered her talent they pushed her to perfect it.

While her parents pushed her to be the perfect dancer, they didn`t notice her grades slipping. This was a result of her frequent sneak outs and parties. She didn`t want to be the perfect daughter. She wanted to be more then just the perfect daughter, she wanted to have fun. So, she would sneak out and crash parties, sneak into night clubs and do whatever seemed dangerous and fun.

Though, as a result of her dancing and sneaking out she never gets a lot of sleep, so she always seems tired.

When she`s not in party mode, she`s reserved, shy, and quiet. She won`t speak unless spoken too, and is easily flattered by upper class men. She still seems tired, but if you don`t know about her party habits you would assume it was because she works so hard to improve. When her parents are around she bows to their every whim, and never says no to them.

Up for love

Nice profiles guys, thanks for joining!

I'm in but I'm online VIA DSi and I don't have time to write up a profile.

Would you mind if I made two?
This one is one I have for another SB, but I really like him:

Name: Shawn Lellan

Age: 17

History: Shawn doesn't remember much, but he remembers that it was his mother who taught him how to play the piano and all of the other instruments that he knows how to play.
He also remembers the last day he had to put up with his stepfather. When Shawn was thirteen, he was sitting at the piano, working out a song he had heard on T.V earlier that day. His stepfather had been drinking, as usual, and he was getting annoyed with Shawn because he never played sports and he was always was playing his piano. Shawn's stepfather began to yell at him, and when Shawn just ignored him, he yelled louder and tore Shawn from his spot on the bench. Shawn can't remember what he said, but as soon as he said it, he broke Shawn's wrists and fingers. At the sound of Shawn's screaming, his mother ran from whatever room she was in, yelling at his stepfather about how dare he hurt her baby. She was pushing his stepfather away from Shawn, yelling at him. Angry, Shawn's stepfather pushed his mother across the room and she banged her head against the wall, cracking it open. His stepdad was put into jail.

What You Have In The Suitcase You Brought Back: He has a few t-shirts, a few pairs of jeans, and a pair of sneakers. He also has his black leather jacket, five scarves, and some hair gel. He has his keyboard, which is kept in a case, and he also has his harmonica.

Appearance: Shawn has dirty blonde hair with natural streaks of blonde that is usually in a mohawk style unless hes just to tired to do it, in that case it's a little longer in the front than the rest of his hair. He has earthy green eyes and he has super long eyelashes. He has a fair skintone, stands at five feet eight, and is a pretty average weight. He is rather muscular, especially in his arms and abs. He is always wearing black, white, or gray shirts. He also tends to wear either his black leather jacket or more commonly a scarf or maybe even both, but he'll probably just have a scarf on. His fingers healed a little bit crooked, so they appear crooked when you look at them rather than straight.


Personality: Shawn is likely to talk about music, because he's such a fanatic about it. Shawn isn't really a smiley person, but he usually is pretty happy - he just doesn't show much emotion. Ever since his old stepfather broke his hands, he always speaks in a pretty monotone voice unless he really knows you. He's afraid of being hurt again, so he isn't quick to trust, but he is always quick to protect because he wishes he could have kept his mother from being hurt.

Skills: He can play almost any instrument, he's a great singer, he's a great runner, he's pretty strong, and he's pretty protective, and he's also pretty good at writing his own music and lyrics.

Hometown: Auburn, WA

Other: Shawn has a bad habit of just spacing out when he is playing music. The music just envelopes him and he usually ends up forgetting that he's playing, so he gets kind of a glazed look in his eyes and just plays from his heart. He also has a bad habit of flitting his fingers around in the air like he is playing the piano
Up for love


Second Character:

Name: William Victor Hastings, but he goes by Tyler and refuses to respond if you call him by his real name

Age: 17

History: William was raised in a very wealthy, high class family. He is the only boy out of five children, and he is the youngest. He has four half sisters, all from different mothers, and the youngest one is seven years older than him. All through his life, he was being pushed this way and that way by his father demanding that he be QB of the football team, be class president, get great grades, have the perfect girlfriend from the perfect family. Finally, William had enough. He lashed out at everyone, broke up with his girlfriend that never even liked in the first place, quit the football team, and just didn't even care enough to get good grades anymore. He stopped dressing like the pretty boy he was raised to be and started dressing in shredded jeans and ratty t-shirts. He never listened to anyone and started hanging out with the wrong crowd and had picked up smoking by tenth grade.
Unable to handle his rebellion, his father sent him off to boarding school. Each boarding school William went to, he got kicked out of. At his third boarding school, in tenth grade, when Tyler still went by William, he met this kid named Tyler. Tyler wasn't rich, he lived in a trailer with his mother, but he knew more about life than anyone. One day, when William was having an extremely bad day due to his father telling him that he was worthless and not worth his time, he was about to commit suicide. Tyler walked into the room, saw that William was about to pull the trigger of the gun, and jumped at him, hitting the gun away from his head. The bullet ended up hitting Tyler, and as William sat there gaping at the bloody Tyler on the ground, Tyler said, "I got everything I could out of my life, man. Now it's your turn." Tyler was taken to the hospital but died that night. When William found out that Tyler died, that's when he started going by Tyler. At the funeral, Tyler met Tyler's mother. She looked at him, tears in her eyes, and said, "Tyler used to talk about you so much. He said you had such great potential, you just needed someone to help you realize it" Then, she handed him a box that contained a cross necklace in it and said, "This was his, but from what he told me, you need it more than I do." Tyler hasn't taken off that necklace since.

What You Have In The Suitcase You Brought Back: He brought nothing but his wallet, the clothes on his back, the cross neckalce, a pack of cigarrettes (He only smokes them now if he's really stressed out), a lighter, a leather bound notebook and a pencil case filled with pens and pencils.

Appearance: Tyler is wearing a pair of shredded jeans (no, they weren't bought that way. They got that way from running from the cops in the woods), a black t-shirt, a pair of falling apart sneakers, and the silver cross on the silver chain. Tyler has really dark, brown hair, and green eyes that are pastel like in the middle and dark on the outside. He is six feet tall, pretty muscular, and average weight.


Personality: Tyler never listens to a figure of authority and likes to do his own thing. He is really outgoing and always has something to say. He's not afraid to speak his mind and tell people just what he thinks. He's really honest and hardly ever lies. Despite his background, he's a great friend and is realy good at listening and giving advice once you get passed his rebellious side. He is willing to take a bullet for someone and even though he seems to be selfish and like a bad guy, he can be really caring. He was raised knowing how to respect a woman, and has stuck to that his entire life.

Skills: He's really outgoing, is always honest, and he's really smart even though he doesn't show it in his grades. Even though he seeme really cold, he's not going to leave anyone behind and refuses to go down without a fight.

Hometown: He lives in Portland

Other: Up for love...if you can take it.

Awesome, thanks!

Name: Clyde Littleton

Age: 16

At eight, she was always taken care of by her 10 year old brother, Josh. He left on a cruise for his private school's band team. He never came back. She always likes to think that he forgot about them and is living happily somewhere else, but she knows this isn't true. She lived with her aunt after that, who was an obese jerk. She took up writing to try to keep herself out of her terrible, cruel world.

What You Have In The Suitcase You Brought Back: Writing supplies, clothes, make-up, laptop. In her super secret compartment she has a knife, noose, and nunchucks.

Appearance:

Personality: Even through her hell of a life, she's managed to stay positive. In fact, staying positive is like a drug to her. She's never upset in a desperate attempt to not reveal any of her history. You might find one time when she's crying, and she'll say she's crying in joy. She's smart but frail. She doesn't think she's important, even though she's famous for writing a novel. Well, not famous, but popular since her father was a multimedia star when he was young. She's incredibly outgoing and kind, but in the end she'll ditch you for her own safety. While she may seem like a kind girl, that's only on the outside.

Inside, she's cruel. Plain cruel. She's never liked anyone except for her brother. Not even her younger sister- heck, she all but killed her. She wears her happiness as a disguise. She's secretly planning you murder. Not that she'll tell anyone, but she's killed two people. Hm. Better watch out.

Skills:Devious plans, cheering people up, being vicious, being smart.

Hometown:I just watched Twilight, so I'm going to have to say Forks, WA.

Other: Not that anyone would want such a mean girl, so she is not up for love. Though, she will have crushes. On girls- secret time! She's actually lesbian.
