this is robert, but please call him rob... unless you're a student. then he's mr. parker. rob was born on october 11th, 1977 on the upper east side of manhattan. he was an only child for 15 years before his mother gave birth to his little brother, nate (see below.) a year later he would get his first gig on broadway and remain there for twelve years doing various shows and performances all while going to college at nyu where he received his bfa in 2001. in 2005, rob took a leave of absence from the stage and focused more on himself rather than his career. in the process, he met a woman named madeline who is now his girlfriend. rob is hoping she'll say yes to his upcoming proposal. right now, rob teaches at mcoa and hoping to one day come back to the stage when he finds the right show. until then, he's content being a mentor to the new generation.

this is nathan, but please call him nate because he won't respond to nathan, even if his parents are mad at him. he was born on february 5th, 1992 on the upper east side of manhattan as little brother to robert parker (see above.) he went straight to nyu upon leaving high school but dropped out after a semester due to lack of interest. he then enrolled the mcoa because his brother spoke highly of it (though he was sure rob was a little biased because it was his current place of work.) nate is now a sophomore at mcoa and majoring in drama, specifically acting. he hopes to follow in his brother's footsteps and have a great long broadway career. he envies his brother because rob barely hard to try, while nate is still struggling four years after the age his brother had been when he caught his first big break.

this is vienna, and you can call her v if you wish. she usually just goes by vienna. she's a drama major and a music minor at mcoa, originally from chicago, illinois. her birthday is august 29th, 1990. she came from a middle class family, and kind of stumbled into singing and acting by accident in high school. she has hopes and dreams of becoming an actress of broadway as long as she's earned it, and hopefully one day she'll make it out to hollywood. she usually pretty easy to get along with and doesn't take things too seriously, as long as it's warranted.

this is shayla, but she goes by shay, so please call her that. she's originally from vancouver, canada, born on january 9th, 1993. she's a dance major and drama minor at mcoa. her sister, sadie (who's up for adoption), also goes to mcoa, and is a junior. shay is very passionate about dance. she got forced into it when she was 3, but didn't care for it until her pre-teen years. after that it became her life. one day she hopes to be on stage as a backup dancer, or even as an extra in a movie. she acts too, but she doesn't like it as much as dance. though she understands you have to be multi-talented in the business nowadays.

this is kendall, but you can call her kenni if you wish. she's not picky. she was born on march 30th, 1992, which makes her twenty years young. originally she's from new york city, but when she was 10, her family moved to portland, oregon, where she's lived for the last 10 years of her life. except she spent a majority of the last year in new york again during her freshman year, and now she's a sophomore, back in the big apple. kendall is part of a girl group with her best friends from portland, erika johansson and jordyn gonzales. they're known as "the trio" though unofficially named. kendall's a music major and a dance minor, also with some interest in acting. she's fiercely loyal to her best friends and would do anything for them.

[MAISY J. ATWELL]

so, this is going to one big tangled web omg. so, maisy's mom was sort of a mentor to rob (mr. parker?) and so maisy hopes that he will return the favor by being a mentor of sorts to her, which annoys nate (which also means that her and nate do not get along at all. the whole ues/uws rivalry helps too XP).

[sierra l. kennedy]

sierra&&nate

so nate and sierra both live on the upper east side, which means they'd probably know each other, especially since they're the same age. sierra went to the dalton school, and idk which school nate went to but either way he'd probably think she was a stuck up bitch, if he was outside her inner circle of friends and still judging her based on that. if he was in her circle of friends, he'd probably see how much she's grown since then. so their relationship basically is up to you.

meredith&&nate

hooray for lovers! i have a brilliant idea regarding these two and nate's sexuality. so obviously they have a thing for each other. but since nate is a closeted bisexual, this can work in making really good drama. once he's outed, it probably won't sit well with merry. she'd feel like she wasn't enough for him, because she didn't have half of what he needed. thoughts?

[ROBERT A. PARKER]

rob&&maisy

loveeeeee. <3

nate&&maisy

yes, i like this. he will NOT like her. ahaha. xD

nate&&sierra

first of all...omfg, nate and sierra (mine and lacy's drew and selena chars on slt. ahahahaha.) okay so um.... i think he might have been in her circle of friends but kind of on the outside, if you know what i mean. he was in, but not really into it. so he could probably be a distant acquaintance?

nate&&meredith

YES HOORAY FOR LOVERS! and omgggg loveeeee. but he'd insist that he didn't exactly have to have both in his life, if you know what i mean LOL.

[VIENNA E. GRANGER]

vienna&&adam

yes <3 and we should thread them asap

nate&&laurie

that may or may not work, depending on where he stands with merry. we could maybe start them off as acquaintances since nate doesn't usually keep many close friends. then we'll see where it goes, depending on merry.

kendall&&laurie

maybe frenemies? kendall could always use a few and given her personality, she doesn't make friends easily.

shayla&&juin

if they were to be friends, he'd have to approach her. she's kind of focused on her craft and doesn't make friends easily either, like kendall.

[STRATTON A. BALZARETTI]

rob mr. parker & strat
since strat is a drama major, mr. parker is his teacher. i think strat would be a huge fan of rob's and definitely look up to him. i don't know how he would react to strat though, he's a huuuuuuge overachiever and some teachers like them and some find them annoying. idk +/-/x

shay & strat
i can't see them being super close (especially because strat can getting tongue tied around pretty girls) but they're both freshmen, so they'll definitely know each other. maybe casual friends? +/-/x

[ROBERT A. PARKER]

kendall&&laurie

enemies it is :)

shayla&&juin

sounds great :)

rob&&strat

bahaha, rob wouldn't mind. he may find it annoying at times, but he finds enthusiasm and overachieving to be a good thing, which he'd appreciate someone doing. since he has a hard time getting his brother to do the same.

shayla&&strat

casual friends sounds good. she's a drama minor so they'd probably know each other that way too.
