IT WAS SO FUN! I’m so proud of us all for making it this far and finishing the story! We really did amazing pumping out so many posts together. It was such a blast and I’m so thankful for it.

poking @SilverNight @winterwolf1010 @harryhardy one of the active SB mods to move the sb to the COMPLETED HALL OF FAME!!!! BUT .... before they do that we should grab out CP’s and save them in the OOC or something so we don’t lose them. Apparently when SB’s move to the Completed forum u lose character profiles which is a small tragedy :(
Pants are an illusion. And so is death.

addy
Spoiler! :
Creator: looseleaf
Storybook: An Unexpected Time
Nickname: Adeline (Addy) Hagen

Name: Adeline Violet Hagen
Age: 23 (born 1997)
Gender: Female

Appearance: Adeline has dark red hair that goes a little past her shoulders. Her face would be very oval-looking if it wasn't for her cheekbones. She has dark green eyes that look black from a distance and a beauty mark on her right cheek. Addy's 5'7" and is average sized.

Personality: Addy is very headstrong and nearly always prefers to be the leader. She is extremely extroverted and loves hanging out around people. She just can't see how people would prefer to read or watch a movie at home rather than be with others. Addy isn't the smartest of people when it comes to stuff like math, english, and basically all the school topics. But, she is very handy and crafty and can often be seen fixing stuff around her and her girlfriend's apartment. Addy is also pretty active and goes to the gym/works out a couple times each week.
- Strengths: Very extroverted, charismatic, crafty, and handy.
- Weaknesses: Is not the smartest of people and can occasionally get on people's nerves.

History: Adeline was born in Chicago, Illinois. Her parents, two little brothers, and her lived in a tiny apartment on the Lower West Side. Her dad worked as a chef and her mom worked as a waitress in the same restaurant, meaning Adeline and her two brothers were left alone often.

This gave Adeline innumerous opportunities to skip school and do whatever she wanted, which she did. She would go to the beach next to Lake Michigan, or the pier, or wherever she felt like going. One day, when she was 16, she met Madison and they fell madly in love.

They kept their relationship secret for the longest time, but when Adeline was 18, she came out to her parents. Her mom was happy for her, her dad, well, was not. Her father kicked her out of the apartment despite her mother's wishes and she moved into a tiny studio apartment in the basement of someone's house with Madison.

Madison went to and graduated from the University of Chicago while Adeline worked at a grocery store her mom often shopped at. This allowed her to see her mom and brothers, because otherwise, her dad would not allow her to see them.

Now that Madison is out of college and working as a journalist, their lives are taking a turn for the better. They got engaged, are trying to block Adeline's father out of their lives, and they are moving to a new apartment soon. That being said, their relationship has been pretty rocky recently. Madison's been staying late at work for reasons unknown to Addy and she refuses to tell her the truth anytime she asks.

Other: Nothing really.


my boi bo
Spoiler! :
Creator: soundofmind
Storybook: An Unexpected Time
Nickname: Bo

Name: Andrei aka Bo Petrov
Age: 26
Gender: Male

Appearance: He’s a very large man - standing at 6ft7in and covered in muscle. He’s only got one eye, on his right. On the left side of his face he has a trio of scars running through where an eye used to be. He has short brown hair, a short beard, and dark circles under his eyes. He usually wears tighter t-shirts, and loose sweatpants or joggers as casual wear. Usually paired with a big hoodie and sporty running shoes. At work, though, he wears simple slacks, a button-up, and an apron, of course! Because kitchens.

Other notable physical features not visible at the moment include two dragon tattoos swirling up his arms and chest, and a few other scars mostly on his upper body and arms. His earlobes are pierced and he wears simple black studs.

Personality: Very friendly, loyal, welcoming, and goofy. He makes a lot of dad jokes, puns, and in general just tries to make people laugh whenever appropriate. He tries his best to assume the best in others but because of his past, always keeps an eye out for danger not just for himself but for others. He's inclusive, supportive, understanding, loves to help, and is overall the realest, down to earth dude. He's a bit out of touch with himself cause he's more invested in others.
- Strengths: open-minded, loyal, protective, friendly, kind, funny, physically strong and familiar with a lot of standard weaponry
- Weaknesses: too trusting, suppresses emotions instead of dealing with them, puts others first to the point of forgetting about/ignoring his own needs, lacks depth perception due to loss of one eye/half-blind

History: Bo grew up in Los Angeles, CA with a hitman father and family roots that went deep into the Russian mafia. His father, Kazimir Petrov, did his best to give Bo a "normal" childhood, but Bo was smart enough to catch on.

When Bo was nearing early adulthood, his father trained him to follow in his footsteps with the added pressure from Bo's grandparents (and namely grandfather) Matvei and Vesna. But when Bo was 19, his father was suddenly framed and imprisoned, and Matvei took over the training. Bo took his father’s place and became very successful in the criminal world. In the midst of his success, he spent most of his time trying to find the person who put his dad in prison, but unfortunately never did.

The pressure of a lifestyle he felt unsuited and too morally aware for became too much for him and he abruptly cut ties, going off grid. He traveled across the country, gained several scars from an unfortunate motorcycle accident, and tried to find himself. He’s not really sure what he found, but eventually, he settled back down and became a chef. Eventually reached back out to his father, with slow steps towards reconciliation.

He’s been living a quiet life ever since. Or trying to, anyways.

Other: He is allergic to cats. He also speaks Russian, but probably won't in 1943 America. :^)


pretty flower name magnolia
Spoiler! :
Creator: Corvid
Storybook: An Unexpected Time
Nickname: Magnolia

Name: Magnolia Fortin
Age: 25
Gender: Female

Appearance: Magnolia is about 5’5 in height, with a slightly underweight looking build. She has straight, light brown hair that falls to just a few inches below her shoulders. Her eyes are perpetually hidden behind a pair of dark black sunglasses -- presumably to keep her vision or sensory problems from triggering a migraine. She carries a long white cane, and wears a rotating selection of sturdy military-surplus boots.

Personality: Magnolia is a stubborn woman. She's very particular about the things she likes and dislikes, and doesn't tend to tolerate other people's inconsideration/problems. She's very independent, but closed-off and isolated in her relationships. Because of this, Magnolia is often reluctant to rely on those that she doesn't trust. She's a clever woman, though she often has trouble judging people's emotions or intentions. Magnolia prioritizes herself, often to the detriment of her relationships -- she's aware of this, and she's working on it.
- Strengths: Headstrong & indeependent. Priotitizes herself.
- Weaknesses: Closed off & reluctant to accept help. Often inconsiderate of others.

History: (short or long)
Magnolia grew up in a small town in the mountains, the youngest of three children. She spent a lot of her childhood tending to her family's garden, and eventually went to school to become a botanist -- she's in grad school for it now, scratching out a living as a tik tok star and TA at her university. She likes to write horribly romantic novellas on the side. It pays rent.

Other:
- Magnolia is blind. She can see color and shades of light/dark, and uses a white cane to help her navigate.
- Favorite flower is a peony.
- writes and sells romance novels online under a pen name. It’s surprisingly profitable.


liam (other boi)
Spoiler! :
Creator: JasmineFelicia
Storybook: An Unexpected Time
Nickname: Liam

Name: Liam Coleman
Age: 23
Gender: Male

Appearance:
Broad shouldered. About 5'8". Has green eyes. Has brown, short hair. When transported to the past, was in brown cargo pants and a green t-shirt.


Personality:
Liam likes making jokes and teasing people. To some people this may seem shallow, because he rarely talks seriously unless about a subject he really enjoys. He always tries to smile even when he's nervous or upset, because he doesn't like showing what he considers weakness. Is always misplacing and breaking things.


- Strengths:
Liam is very smart, and likes figuring out puzzles and problems. He is a very good cook as well, and some of his friends joke that instead of going into some kind of science, he should go to culinary school.

- Weaknesses:
Liams greatest weakness would be his pride. He never wants anyone to see him fall. As he is the oldest of his siblings, he's built up a pride of being the strongest, wisest, smartest of his siblings, even when he might not be those things. In physical weaknesses - he is just not actually as strong as he likes to believe. He's pretty weak.

History:
Straight-A student. Eldest sibling out of 4. Waiting for college acceptance letter. Has had a fairly happy life. He had always wished for adventure and something crazy to happen, but his life is pretty normal.


Other:
Hates Honey, Loves apples. Uses contact lenses because his glasses always end up broken.


(P.S. Thank you for the pic soundofmind!!)


third boi levi who has a much fancier full name than I remembered
Spoiler! :
Creator: Tenyo
Storybook: An Unexpected Time
Nickname: Levi

Name: Levi Ronan James Bridgefort.
Age: 18
Gender: Male

Appearance: Average height and fairly lean and toned, with dark blonde hair that's just long enough to tie the upper layers back, blue eyes and a yellowish tan that's darker on his face and shoulders. He stands quite upright in posture and whilst his facial expression tends to be soft with a light smile, his expressions are limited, ranging from polite smile to slight concern, regardless of the situation. At the time he wakes up in the story he's wearing black trousers, comfortable but slightly formal shoes, and a light blue chequered shirt with a white vest underneath.

Personality:
- Strengths: He is a product of his upbringing, having learned hard work and discipline from his military schooling. He's polite and witty, able to give a good first impression and maintain appearances, and is very rare to complain. He's accustomed to being able to push himself out of his comfort when there's a task that needs to be done and determined to see it through.

- Weaknesses: He reacts poorly to failure, seeing each individual mistake as an inherent weakness in himself that he will compulsively try to overcome. He has a rigid sense of virtue and order, and whilst he is kind in his correction of others he will correct them none the less, assuming that others have the same compulsive drive to better themselves as he does. He has a boiling pot kind of temper in that he'll maintain his calm for a long time before doing something brash and self destructive, usually punching a wall.

History:
A soon to graduate British schoolboy who's spent much of his life either in military school or training summer camps. He's used to being near the top of most of his classes, but his drive and determination often left him fairly solitary during his free time. Those he bonded with he did so through work and shared experiences rather than socialisation.

Whilst his background has given him a lot of advantages in discipline and physical aptitude, he doesn't have much experience of life outside of his structured environment.
