Ted looked around curiously. The orphanage was looked very old and would have made any normal person feel gloomy with its depressing colours. But not him. Ted had won the optimism award at least three times at school and was known for his sunny and enthusiastic attitude. Being who he was, Ted found absolutely nothing wrong with the orphanage and went to open the door. "Hello?" Not completely oblivious, he noted that the room was rather dark due to the windows covered in grime and frowned a little. "Kinda dark in here... Oh well, I can live with that I guess." He went up to the desk where a woman was filing papers. "Uh, hi, I'm Theodore Felkins." Ted said awkwardly. He didn't really like his 'proper' name very much. He got his room number, thanked the lady, and went to find his room since the woman had said she was too busy to show him. After wandering around for a little, he finally located it and happily entered, looking forward to rest after a tiring day.
I walk back into my room and pull my Vita out of my bag. I begin playing the game I have for it and wait for my roommate to interrogate me for the events that had happened earlier. <I cant wait.. The should be fun> I think to myself sarcastically...

Ted took a short power nap and unpacked his possesions. He had brought with him some clothing, his birdwatching equipment, his favourite basketball, running shoes, a few books, and a new iPhone he'd just got about a week before his uncle's death. Bored, he decided to look around his new home.
Personality: He is typically seen as cold and condescending, but is moral; he isn't very cruel or reckless, and never tries to take over someone completely. Although he is lackadaisical is his work, he tries not to slack off. He sometimes enjoys witnessing arguments or fights, making him not very good material to stop tensions.
Appearance: His height is 5' 10", having black short hair and grey irises. His likes to wear navy blue and yellow striped clothes, with brown pants.
Suggestions/questions: Backstory to staff members. They aren't dead people, and giving one can more likely contradict the stereotypical, flat staff member.
Other: Pretty Pretty Cupcakes please?
Backstory: He lived in a family with both parents, two brothers and one sister, himself being the second oldest of his siblings. They lived a slightly above-average life, all of them having full education, nor having any serious tragedy affecting their family. But then, everyone expects him to be some rich successful prodigy. Ironically, fate brought him to work for an orphanage. Devastated by his job, he hated working at the orphanage. Reluctant as he was, he worked as a staff member for six months, hoping for a major change in his life.
Trivia:
- The oldest brother, 30, is called Randall, and works as a news reporter, having a wife and a child.
- The third oldest, 24, is called Michael.
- The youngest, 21, is called Lily.
- Clive took a degree in law- however he has not done the bar exam.
- He often plays chess or practice piano in his leisure time.
After roaming through the halls for an hour or so, Ted had to admit he was rather lost. All the hallways were looked the same with dull colours and weak lighting. He was pretty sure he'd climbed down a flight of stairs or two as well. The preteen slowly meandered through the orphanage, unsure of what he should do.
Appearance: Roughly 4"10, and rather thin. He usually wears the same rag-like brown coat, that he has adored since he was just 5. It doesn't fit him quite right, as he has grown a bit since then, so he struggles removing the coat, so he usually doesn't. He has curly, brown hair yet quite short. He has bright blue eyes, such as a nice sky blue. He wears beige cargo pants slightly ripped at the knees. He has a small, yet noticeable scar under his left eyes as well. He has pale white skin, with the odd mole here and there. He often wears the same bright yellow boots, except when he gets too uncomfortable, when he then takes them off showing socks, that look unwashed, and overall very dirty.
Personality: (Not necessary, but requested.) He is a shy, young child that mainly likes to keep to himself. Because he is the younger one, he has always felt afraid of the larger, and stronger kids, that he sees every now and then. He is very intelligent, and mature despite his age, as he enjoys reading books, his favourite author being Jack London. Although he is shy he enjoys giving the odd compliment to people, as that makes him feel old, and mature, instead of the less capable child he really is.
Bio: (This should be about 1-3 paragraphs. Make sure you add the reason you are orphaned here.) Born in a part of town, where no child should ever be raised in. He was born into a family, as an only child, with an alcohol addicted Mother, and a Father, with one seldom reason not to divorce being to save Jacob the pain, guilt, and suffering of being alone. Growing up, he was constantly made fun of for his love of reading, which you could say, kept him going in life. When he was 5, his mother died from a drunk driving incident. Having only his father who worked a low wage job around, he had to learn to fend for himself. Jacob always dreamed to be like his Dad, hardworking and dedicated despite the job he was placed in.
After Jacob's Dad came to the conclusion that he could no longer pay for the child, he was forced to put him up for adoption. After travelling to many different boys homes, and Foster Parents, he was finally placed in a orphanage in New York, and that is where this story begins!
How long have you been in the orphanage: (I would suggest to say that you are new, but I won’t force you) He is rather new to the orphanage as explained in the Bio.
Dorm/room: 5th Floor, Room 10.
Likes: (Not necessary, but requested) As explained he enjoys reading, his favourite author being Jack London, and his favourite novel being White Fang. He had always had an admiration for wolves, and had dreamed of seeing one face to face one day.
Dislikes: (Not necessary, but requested) His dislikes, are mainly people. Being bullied at a young age, he learned to stay away from older kids. After these occurrences, he was always had a slight fear, and dislike, for the tougher, more cockier young people.
Suggestions/questions: Nothing that I can think of, so if accepted, shall I just jump on in?
