[Gray Cortese]

GRAY DOMINIC CORTESE !
TWENTY-ONE, FUNCTIONING ALCOHOLIC, PHOTOGRAPHER, ASS-HAT ,
there goes the flash called 'life's mistakes' ,

okay well, you can probably guess who this is. his name is gray cortese, and he is a flinger. his face is matt dallas. and it took me almost two fucking years to make him. no, i'm not kidding. that was me not knowing much about him. then i got to know him. and then i just got really, really lazy. so, good thing is, i don't have to rant much, 'cause most of you know him! and he actually has a few plots in the future, so i won't be whining as much. but this is my 'flinger relaunch' week. they're just boring these days. i need lots of fun plots :] and, c'mon, he's a lot of fun.

well, there isn't a lot to know. he's a socially-repressed ass who is terrified of any sort of attention. he's been battling an alcohol addiction for over a year now, and he has decided that it means nothing. literally. it's just another part of his daily schedule. know what that's called? a high-functioning alcoholic. when he's a schoo, at work, shooting...doesn't matter where, gray is probably sipping polar ice vodka from his little blue water bottle. nearly always buzzed. if you know him well enough, you know when he's not. a sober gray is a vulernable, crazy, incredibly self-destructive gray. the most mentally unhealthy character i have. just wait to see when he falls apart :] other than that...yeah. he doesn't make friends easily, he pisses off people with his lack of tact, and he really doesn't care. because, at the end of the day, gray is one hell of a photographer. you probably know his work. a known flickr user, he's avid about his art. it's his other addiction. definitely not the type for relationships, he does have the heart to care for people. he's the jealous type, possessive over people he considered thorns in his side. very love-hate with life.

uhm, yeah, that's basically it. i know it's not much, but there isn't much to him. xD he's an easy character, and is really quite flexible when it comes to plots. so, y'know, hit me up with them! i don't want to have to annoy you guys too much in the c-box. oh, and post here anyway if he's got plots with your characters. i like expanding. you know who you are.

[Audrey Harper]

Ass-hat. Isn't that a magnificent word? lol. But I do love functioning alcoholics, they just amaze me. So I'm assuming we're stilling plotting Gray and Audrey, being that photographer and apprentice duo because she's possibly one of the few people who wouldn't put up with his crap which makes this partnership awesome, yes? Just because I need to get Aud active again, and not just with Audros, you know? I want to make her well rounded and all that jazz. But I think Audrey and Gray, essentially after a while, will be like House and Wilson... if you know, Wilson was a psycho bad ass. xD Of course if you and anna are still doing the whole plot where he's her fashion line's photographer that means we are going to plot Gray and Matteo. Funny thing is I think Matt will like Gray, maybe ass-hats just like each other, hey?

Hmm, Allie would also get along with him, which is rare because it's allie and she's not the most social of people. That and I think she would admire his ass hattery, just saying. You know what, I think he and Charlotte should do a photoshoot together, I think it'll be good, because she's really nice... He would think that she would talk back to him if he's being especially douchey. You know, if he doesn do photoshoots with actresses. But you know who gray reminds me of? you know, without the epic alcohol and overall doucheyness, t.shields... I dunno why, he just has that vibe, you know? or even Tao Ruspoli. xD

I can't really think of anything else, if you got a lil something for me, just PM regan's. I hope this helped, midnight, amiga!

[Ksenia Sakahrov]

i must agree. ass-hat is definitely one of the most immortal terms in the non-real dictionary. i use it often. ooh, absolutely! their plottingness is part of what fueled me to finally finish him. xD i love what we have so far. and he definitely needs someone like audrey around. i personally wouldn't want to work with him unless i was like her. i so love the image of them being similar to house and wilson. not at first, since he'll attempt to be bossy but it won't really work. then, after awhile, things just go smoothly and it's more of a partnership in being epic. good to know we're on the same page. i'm pretty sure anna and i are still doing that. i wouldn't see why not. ooh, yay. i really want to plot with matteo. i love that they're so similar. but, at the same time, he probably wouldn't like matt much simply because he's dating haley. gray's very territorial over random people. he doesn't really want her for himself, but it's annoying seeing her happy with anyone. know what i mean? other than that, he would like matt in general. ass-hats must stick together.

ass hattery xD gray isn't the most social of people, either. which fits well. she would be the kind of person he wouldn't discard as a complete waste of space. oh how i love charlotte. we definitely should. i was hoping gray would give the t.shield's kind of vibe xD that's what i image a lot of his photography to look like. but his fashion stuff will be proper and all vogue-ish. but anyway. woo. he's a freelancer as well, doing random shoots for magazines and agencies, so he definitely shoots actresses. i think it would be funny. he would like shooting her. she's all normal and stuff, but not boring. they could play annoying music on set. because i always imagined that's something he would do unless he was being all professional. which isn't very often. ooh, tao! i like him xD

tysm for replying<3 i'll assume this wasn't very helpful. i never have any actual ideas. but you already knew that.

[allegra]

Oh yes, I love our words for our favourite kind of people. But I can so see Gray ranting or raving and audrey is all "are you done there, boss man, I feel intimidated and will never speak against your will..." in a monontone sort of voice because she isn't really intimidated by him. I like this, I like them, it'll be awesome. Yeah, Matt would be wary of him at the beginning, but then realize he's sort of like him. haha, well good, Allie would like to not think she's a waste of space either, this is good, lol. Charlotte would definitely comment on the music whilst pose, she doesn't really keep things in when it comes to that.

Gah! I am loving our plots, woman! this is epic!

[Ksenia Sakahrov]

KSENIA HANA SAKAHROV !
SIXTEEN , MOVED FROM KEIZER , MAFIA TIES , COMPLEX QUEEN,
i can see the faces underneath the smile ,

gasp, and here she is again. it seems that with my insomnia has come finally completed apps xD i'm not complaining. i actually did this lovely lady's entire application in the middle of the nights i couldn't sleep. i seem to type better when i'm really not paying attention. interesting. i'm even watching transformers, but i apparently had to do this first. not sure why, since i did charrie info. but i do it anyway, 'cause i'm annoying like that. i really want her to work<3

meet miss ksenia sakahrov. does that name sound familiar? well, it should. seeing as a lot has changed since i put up her info. ksenia is the daughter of victor and stana sakahrov, born in moscow and raised in belgrade, serbia. her entire childhood was perfect, i'm not kidding. everything was pretty and happy. well, until she was about ten. that's when she noticed her father was a completely different man - he was pale and snappy, made excuses for everything. she discovered a nasty little file while in his study shortly after she turned thirteen. it was a mess of notes she couldn't read, and a photograph - a single poloroid picture of a girl, hardly older than herself, with lifeless eyes. she didn't do much more after that, but she did know. a little research and common sense was all that was required to know that victor sakahrov had gotten himself mixed up with the russia mafia. it wouldn't have been so bad if his very own brother was a known member of the irish mafia. well, that complicates things, doesn't it? in an attempt to ignore all of that, ksenia became just another snobby, shallow teenage girl. especially while her family was living in, you guessed is, keizer, oregan. she was best friends with our own carly sutton before she, like everyone else, disowned her because of her pregnancy. that all ended, however, once her father told them they had to go. now. basically, ksenia doesn't know quite who she is anymore. she's a girl who does everything in her power to know, well, everything. she's secretive to the point where it could interfere with her relationships. to counteract all of that, she's a self-concious girl, never wanting to stick out from the crowd. she still wants to fit in and be happy. she recently matured a good deal, redefining much of her character. very aloof and on the ball, she definitely knows more than she lets on. but that don't mean miss ksenia doesn't make friends. on the contrary, she is the type to be friends with pretty much everyone. she thinks of herself as above petty high school drama, but that doesn't mean she cannot find herself in it. her aloofness could charm people into judging she's meek and snobby, which she can be. the biggest twist is her emerging mafia ties, especially with the russians. it's soon going to become a big part of her character.

uhm yeah, that didn't really make sense. i'm a bit loopy from lack of sleep xD i know i ranted a bit, but there's a lot on my mind when it comes to ksenia. i'm still trying to get to know her habits, instead of re-reading her app to make sure i'm getting things right. she's got a couple of plots lined up, but nothing really big. which i want to change. i know a fair bit of our crime kids have digs with the russians. she'll be a russian girl soon enough :]

[Caroline Sutton]

I CALL PLOTS!!

i'm so happy that you made her. like seriously. there are hardly words xD.

k so we know that carly and ksenia used to be like this (imagine my fingers crossed) and after carly got pregnant ksenia believed cain's lies about carly being quite the little slut and shunned her along with the rest of the school. she then assumed carly's role of queen bee. idk if you and gabby have talked about whether or not ksenia and cain dated after the whole "scandal" but i think it would be awesome if they did. what can i say? i'm a glutton for punishing my peeps. carly's gonna flip when she sees ksenia again mostly because it seems like all of her past is catching up to her (she ran into cain in vegas and he followed her to valkryie.) i think carly would be overwhelmed at first and probably get a little snippy at ksenia because she ran away from all of this stress for a reason. maybe at first they're on bad terms but ksenia sees her in the alley behind bad seeds having a panic attack? she gets them when she thinks about her daughter and i could so see her having a fit after a bad run-in with cain. instead of fighting her or anything ksenia hugs her and apologizes until carly's calm enough to breathe normally? just a thought. tell me what you think :].
