Steve “Cap” Rogers || 25 || Senior || Art Student || Bisexual
- Steve’s parents did, in fact, name him after Captain America and his mother often joked that she only married his father for his last name, though it was all in good fun. The two were happily in love and more than happy to have a beautiful baby boy. He adapted quickly to being referred to as Cap and loved when other little boys at school would play super heroes with him.
- His teachers and many other adults in his life often commented on how gentlemanly and good natured the boy was, “such a rare quality these days”. He never cussed or carried on and the only fights he got into where to protect those who couldn’t do it for themselves.
- During his time in high school he found that the only way he could really focus was to draw out his notes or add doodles pertaining to the subject in the margin of the papers. At the end of each year he would take his collected notes and doodles, cutting them up to make a collage by subject. His favorite doodles were always the ones from his science notes.
- When he got accepted into Belle U’s art program he was overjoyed and packed his bags, giving his parents and Brooklyn a long, tearful goodbye before he headed off to Detroit. He stuck to himself for the first year of school, staying in his dorm and usually hiding away from the other art students because they were a bit too wild for him. During his second year he started to branch out and become more sociable. It wasn’t until his third year of school that he thought things were going…strange.
- He had never paid attention to the boy in his English class, but when he did finally notice him he noticed him. He dumped the girl he had been with since his Freshman year and became obsessed with trying to know everything about this guy. He harbored hatred towards his ex, Aidan, just because they had dated at one point in time and rumored to still sleep together. He found out that the boy, Alex, was a junkie and rumored to practice Voodoo, not that Steve believed in that sort of thing. He attributed his need to know and be with the guy on his ever present need to help people. Though, Alex was so bad off he wasn’t even the type of person Steve would talk to much less fall in love with over night.

Castiel Novak || 17 || High School Senior || Closeted homosexual
- Castiel grew up very close to his mother, perhaps the only of the Novak boys to have any relationship with their parents. He was devastated when she just up and left the family, causing him to stick his nose and the Bible and pray that she would come home one day.
- He was also the one to discover his older brothers being a little too close to each other. It didn’t bother him too much until he saw them kiss. It was something innocent, Michael and Lucifer were 12 and 10 respectively, but Castiel told their father about it anyway because he couldn’t understand why they kissed like mommy and daddy. Needless to say, the older Novak brothers got into trouble, and Lucifer, as usual, got punished more than necessary.
- When the blue eyed boy had realized he had feelings for other boys he was scared, very scared, because he believed what people said about God hating homosexuals. He had tried to fix himself, but it never worked because there was nothing wrong with him. He stayed very far in the closet, often times acting so “straight” that it kind of gave him away.

John Smith, Ph.D., Sc.D. || 30 || Physics Professor || Pansexual
- John was born and raised in an orphanage in London, England. His parents died when he was a baby and he never grew up knowing who they were or what amazing people they were.
- His brain often goes faster than his mouth or he just simply can not word the extraordinary things that are buzzing around in his mind so he ends up over simplifying what he means to say or even making up words to fit the description.
- He has seen many ugly and evil things in life, but he will never say a bad thing about anyone because he sees the good in everyone. Something he learned from the Caretakers. One of said Caretakers paid, out of her own pocket, for John to go to one of the best boarding schools in the country. To this day John writes her and sends her little gifts because he feels like he could never truly repay her for what she did. What she did had much more than a silly monetary value in John’s eyes.
- After boarding school he studied at Oxford where he became a Doctor of Physics and Latin. He graduated fairly early and went off to America to explore life. When he was in Detroit he picked up the open Physics position at Belle University and he has stayed ever since. His students have dubbed him “The Doctor” because of his two doctorates and his vast knowledge of the most random things. It always causes a bright smile to be plastered on his face when he gets referred to as such.
