The Story:
The year is 1985. In New York City, several foster homes are shut down with little notice. Strangely, not all of the children were transferred to another orphanage, and instead left many of the older ones without refuge. So far, one of the owners was arrested such a crime, the rest could not be found and the police are still in search of the children.
In order to survive, those who were left in the streets have banded together. They shoplift, pick pocket on subways and sidewalks, and preform fairly petty crimes on a regular basis. This, and they must keep themselves hidden from the police in order to stay out of jail or another foster home.
Although they roam the streets as nomads, they do have a small base in the heart of the city, hidden within an alleyway. The door of an abandoned building down the alley holds many of their stolen goods, as well as a few mattresses.
Several cliques have branched off of Anthony's, who leads the main group of children. It is advised by others to be careful in areas where these cliques reside, to prevent any major incidents.

Username: Zinnia-Hen

Gender: Female
Age: 13
Appearance: She's quite small for her age, both short and very slim. Her figure is graceful with gentle curves in all the right places and if you can look underneath the tough, street-kid look she is very attractive. Her hair is short and has been dyed so many times its hard to see what color it naturally is. Currently, its bright blue and purple with some orange around the ends.
Personality: Despite her size, she is tough and tom-boyish with a very stubborn, defiant personality. She hates taking orders from anyone, and will often do the exact opposite of what she is told, just to make a point. She is moody and easily irritated, snapping easily at the slightest provocation. Yet underneath this hard shell she is a very troubled, distraught young girl desperately wanting someone to want her again.
History: She was born in Florida but moved around a lot when she was young for her single mothers job. Her father died in a car accident with she was two and she had one older brother named Jeremy who took care of her when her mother was too busy. When she was six her mother re-married to a man named Cole, then ended up dying of a sudden onset of cancer a few months later. After her death, her step-father, Cole, was granted full custody of both her and her brother and his true character had begun to show. He abused both children constantly, especially six year old Danni. When she was nine, her and Jeremy ran away from home and ended up in Boston. For two years they lived on the streets, Danni making her money as a hooker and Jeremy as a drug dealer. One morning when she got home from a nights work, she found that Jeremy was gone. Missing without a trace. She fled to New York after some thugs began to rough her up a bit, blaming her for her brothers disappearance as they had lost a lot of money in the drugs he stole. She worked on and off as a hooker, eventually meeting Blake and Eli at the subway station. They offered her a place to stay and she accepted, knowing that she wouldn't last much longer on the streets alone.
Other: Her brother was never proven to be dead or alive, but a mysterious body showing up in a dumpster near where they were living. It was so badly mutilated that it was impossible to know who it was, but Danni believed it was Jeremy

History: Angelina comes from a painful past. Her Step-Father, and abusive drunk with a bad drug problem, used to sell his mother on the street. Her body was traded for money. She was Angelina's only comfort when she was a child. At the young age of fourteen, her Step-Father took Angelina's Mother away, never to be seen again, and then sold the young girl to a man who started her up in the "business" her Mother had been in. With another girl, she escaped the cold man's house and made their way to New York. Now, she wanders the street, still selling her body for money.

Name: Lukas Christofi
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Appearance: A young man of 5'9", with handsome, light olive-toned skin and curly black hair that reaches his mid-neck. Hazel-green eyes.
Personality: A troubled teen, who often keeps quiet and wears clothing that covers his limbs, to hide his scars. Although strong at heart, he is relatively easy to bog down and pick on. Quite sensitive for a street child, but even so, he tries to cover up his true feelings.
History: Lukas was born into a third generation Cypriot-American family, on a small Wisconsin dairy farm. He embraced a wonderful life until a freak accident at the town's local playground occurred. A local child predator, who hadn't been located at the time, lured the seven year old into his car and drove off. A huge manhunt for the child then commenced, and witnesses began to tell authorities of what they saw at the time of the kidnapping. Some even claimed they had spotted Lukas and his captor, but unfortunately, his family was never able to find their boy and he is now presumed dead. The man who had taken Lukas away, Viktor M. James, dubbed the child 'Paul James' and cut his hair so he remained unrecognizable. They traveled all around the country, where Viktor claimed Lukas was his son and he taught him himself, when they could. Lukas was abused on a regular basis, and taught to be submissive. Whenever he tried to fight back, he was severely beaten and tortured, thus reminding him that there was nothing he could do to escape from Viktor. Once he reached the age of thirteen, his days of abuse finally came to a halt. The two had gotten into a car accident in Utah, where Lukas' kidnapper had died and he had been wounded badly in. Before anyone could spot the accident, the boy crawled away from the scene and collapsed under the nearby brush. Authorities were glad they had caught the man who had been, before unbeknownst to them, holding Lukas hostage for years, and were even more surprised when they found evidence of Lukas. Unfortunately, they did not actually spot the boy after a thorough search of the area, only traces in the brush. Not too long after the rescue team came, a group of runaway children had carted him away (it is to be noted that the crash scene was near a remote train station). The five of them nursed him back to health in their box car, and went along on a long journey across the states, hopping trains and stopping at cities when they could. A year or so later, the group was rounded up into a foster home where Lukas was identified as "Lukas James". The friends he had met earlier on the boxcars were either adopted or put into smaller foster households for children who were specifically on the run. Before Lukas could be put into a real family, the foster home shut down, leaving him with very few to depend on.

The Story:
The year is 1985. In New York City, several foster homes are shut down with little notice. Strangely, not all of the children were transferred to another orphanage, and instead left many of the older ones without refuge. So far, one of the owners was arrested such a crime, the rest could not be found and the police are still in search of the children.
In order to survive, those who were left in the streets have banded together. They shoplift, pick pocket on subways and sidewalks, and preform fairly petty crimes on a regular basis. This, and they must keep themselves hidden from the police in order to stay out of jail or another foster home.
Although they roam the streets as nomads, they do have a small base in the heart of the city, hidden within an alleyway. The door of an abandoned building down the alley holds many of their stolen goods, as well as a few mattresses.
Several cliques have branched off of Anthony's, who leads the main group of children. It is advised by others to be careful in areas where these cliques reside, to prevent any major incidents.

Gender: Female
Age: 13
Appearance: She's quite small for her age, both short and very slim.

She hates taking orders from anyone, and will often do the exact opposite of what she is told, just to make a point. She is moody and easily irritated, snapping easily at the slightest provocation. Yet underneath this hard shell she is a very troubled, distraught young girl desperately wanting someone to want her again.
History: She was born in Florida but moved around a lot when she was young for her single mothers job. Her father died in a car accident with she was two and she had one older brother named Jeremy who took care of her when her mother was too busy. When she was six her mother re-married to a man named Cole, then ended up dying of a sudden onset of cancer a few months later. After her death, her step-father, Cole, was granted full custody of both her and her brother and his true character had begun to show. He abused both children constantly, especially six year old Danni. When she was nine, her and Jeremy ran away from home and ended up in Boston. For two years they lived on the streets, Danni making her money as a hooker and Jeremy as a drug dealer. One morning when she got home from a nights work, she found that Jeremy was gone. Missing without a trace. She fled to New York after some thugs began to rough her up a bit, blaming her for her brothers disappearance as they had lost a lot of money in the drugs he stole. She worked on and off as a hooker, eventually meeting Blake and Eli at the subway station. They offered her a place to stay and she accepted, knowing that she wouldn't last much longer on the streets alone.
Other: Her brother was never proven to be dead or alive, but a mysterious body showing up in a dumpster near where they were living. It was so badly mutilated that it was impossible to know who it was, but Danni believed it was Jeremy

Name: Lukas Christofi
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Appearance: A young man of 5'9", with handsome, light olive-toned skin and curly black hair that reaches his mid-neck. Hazel-green eyes.
Personality: A troubled teen, who often keeps quiet and wears clothing that covers his limbs, to hide his scars. Although strong at heart, he is relatively easy to bog down and pick on. Quite sensitive for a street child, but even so, he tries to cover up his true feelings.
History: Lukas was born into a third generation Cypriot-American family, on a small Wisconsin dairy farm. He embraced a wonderful life until a freak accident at the town's local playground occurred. A local child predator, who hadn't been located at the time, lured the seven year old into his car and drove off. A huge manhunt for the child then commenced, and witnesses began to tell authorities of what they saw at the time of the kidnapping. Some even claimed they had spotted Lukas and his captor, but unfortunately, his family was never able to find their boy and he is now presumed dead. The man who had taken Lukas away, Viktor M. James, dubbed the child 'Paul James' and cut his hair so he remained unrecognizable. They traveled all around the country, where Viktor claimed Lukas was his son and he taught him himself, when they could. Lukas was abused on a regular basis, and taught to be submissive. Whenever he tried to fight back, he was severely beaten and tortured, thus reminding him that there was nothing he could do to escape from Viktor. Once he reached the age of thirteen, his days of abuse finally came to a halt. The two had gotten into a car accident in Utah, where Lukas' kidnapper had died and he had been wounded badly in. Before anyone could spot the accident, the boy crawled away from the scene and collapsed under the nearby brush. Authorities were glad they had caught the man who had been, before unbeknownst to them, holding Lukas hostage for years, and were even more surprised when they found evidence of Lukas. Unfortunately, they did not actually spot the boy after a thorough search of the area, only traces in the brush. Not too long after the rescue team came, a group of runaway children had carted him away (it is to be noted that the crash scene was near a remote train station). The five of them nursed him back to health in their box car, and went along on a long journey across the states, hopping trains and stopping at cities when they could. A year or so later, the group was rounded up into a foster home where Lukas was identified as "Lukas James". The friends he had met earlier on the boxcars were either adopted or put into smaller foster households for children who were specifically on the run. Before Lukas could be put into a real family, the foster home shut down, leaving him with very few to depend on.
