Based on my most recent Scenes From a Van entry:

Mansion wrote:: Another Crazy Dream-

Wouldn’t it be funny if we all knew each other in Real Life? I think so. I also think that my dreams are weird. I see them like a film in my head; scene transitions, steady camera shots through photos to live action, panning, etc. This is the movie I watched in my head last night. It is kind of hard to describe; but I will do my best.

It started on the Year book. The Family B______ had their own section in said year book instead of a picture like the others. First entry you zoom into a sepia family portrait, when it becomes full frame, it changes into a silent family film. First of the 70’s style parents, free spirits, then it goes to color film of the children. The frame pauses on each to give us a name, like opening credits; First Beaut, then Shiney, then everyone else as well.
These Children were all the parent’s foster children. Orphans and playing a part. I was the new addition to the family. We all lived as a family did; but the story starts on the bus to school.
Each of us are masquerading as sophomores in a small town. The first bus ride to school, all of us rode the bus to school together. The girls more towards the center front and the boys center back. After many seat changes, we settled in and Shiney and I sat next to each other, with Beaut across the aisle in front, and Moony across from her, All the boys were behind and I’m not sure where everyone else ended up.
School itself was odd. Since everyone else had already been. I was led around and showed the ropes. I had classes with everyone. Beaut, Moony and I had Gym together directly before Lunch when we all ate together. At the end of the day there was a ceremony in the Gymatorium. “Mom and Dad” were there, being honored for taking in yet another new orphan.
Then all us ‘kids’ had to walk home. When we all got to the corner gas station, we were cut off by this sports car convertible speeding in. This Red-Neck of a black woman, and her Red-Neck of a white man, began to spray themselves off with the power hose. In all the chaos of them yelling at each other, not angry yelling, just yelling; we discovered they’d gotten a notice from the school district that said everyone should be clean for an upcoming event. She also made it known it’d been a while saying “It’s been two months for me” and she was surprised he’d not had one in the mean time. I figure it was because dirt would show more on his pasty white skin, verses her dark complexion. She hosed him off in the car, he fell over the seats, but she also got water all over the convenience stores floor, it was an open air market set up. And then my brother woke me up.

The Premise: Each Character is an orphan or foster child living with the Tromperie's a lax and devoted couple who maybe the 60's weren't too good to. It is the last portion of their Sophomore year, only they may not all be 16 years old. Each is pretending to be what they choose, and are like their own sect of this small town. Some of the kids are new to the family, and some have been around awhile. Each of them also has a special 'talent' that is secret to the town itself.

Rules: NO ALL POWERFUL SKILLS/TALENTS. Please be reasonable. Enjoy yourselves wreak havoc, but not too much that you kill everyone's spirit and enjoyment.

Name: Cassi Stark

Real Age: 17

Time in the Family: 2 years

Appearance: The Family Tromperie Evil_look

Bio: Cassi doesn't like to speak much of the past, aside any chance to mention that her sister has always been there for her. The two sisters love each other dearly, and they are both very smart, with Cassi just being slightly above Calli in intelligence. Cassi loves electronics and messing with them, and she loves reading by firelight. But only by firelight.

Talent: Pyrokinesis

Name: Calli Stark

Real Age: 17

Time in the Family: 2 years

Appearance: The Family Tromperie 553846802dadf0e165bba868400ad149

The Family Tromperie 553846802dadf0e165bba868400ad149

Bio: Calli is the more relaxed twin, which isn't too different from Cassi. Calli is more into nature than technology, unlike her sister, which sometimes she thinks might be what have her kinesis so different from her sisters. Calli likes to preserve nature, Cassi likes to burn it. While the two are very different in their most important interest, they count on each other. Being separated for a day does not go over well with these two, and they prefer to always know where the other is. It's this that kept them together after their parents untimely death. Calli and Cassi worry that they may have done it unconsciously, as the house caught fire {which started in their parents room}, and the fire didn't travel outside of the house at all, as it was all ice outside. They stick together but aren't unsocial when it comes to other people either, and they enjoy life with the Tromperie's very much.

Real Age: 20

Time in the Family: Has been with the family the longest. 11 years.

Appearance:
The Family Tromperie Teeheecopy

Bio: Deianira came to live with the Tromperie couple at the age of 9, after her abusive parents mysteriously careened off a cliff near their home in the mountains. She'd moved around alot with her parents, who always felt the need to move. It might have had something to do with the fact that they were always acquiring new things; but didn't seem to work. But then again, It might have been the actual economy like they said.
She likes it fine with the Tromperie's they stay out of her business, and she stays out of theirs. When they came to her and the others with the idea of having all the kids pretend to be the same age; and be eternal sophomores, she thought they were nuts, but it also sounded fun, so she has been switching schools each year, and retaking the 10th grade. So far, they've gotten away with it. She doesn't really have ambition for much, so she sticks around and helps with the kids; This has been her family after all.

Talent: Electrokinesis

Appearance:
The Family Tromperie Percycopy

Bio: Percy was born to the Tromperie couple as a fluke. They thought they could not have children, and after him; could not have any more. When he was 11 they started fostering children, the first was Deianira a troubled year old whom he actually got along with. From there; The horde of children increased.
Percy has been interested in music since he was a young kid; and has been making music since he met Dei. He enjoys the throng of the sophomores ogling him, but thinks it might be time to move up a grade. He sticks around at home for two reasons: 1) it's free and 2) Dei is still there.
Deep down he is shy; and doesn't know how to express himself. He has a hard exterior.

He gets all of his stuff (his van, instruments etc) through hard work and playing gigs. He does odd jobs around town, and in KC. He acts his own age when he's away from the small town.

Talent: When he was 10; he realized that the weather in town was dependent on his mood and not the other way around. He's since realized that it is because he can control the weather up to a certain mileage around him. And Seriously good at Rocking hard! Hahah!

Name: Alaric Sandalion

Real Age: 17

Time in the Family: New Arrival

Appearance:

Bio: Alaric lived a happy life with his parents and older brother for years. In fact, he and his brother used to be the closest of friends, always going out together and teaching each other different things they'd learned. His brother got him into music, and while he specialized in drums and percussion, Alaric got into playing stringed intruments. They used to have long 'jam sessions' and all was well until the day the younger Sandalion brother's powers manifested. They were playing as they usually did, when suddenly every sound within a 10 yard radius became multiplied by 100 and overwhelmed the boy, causing him excruciating pain. As his brother ran over to help him, Alaric threw him arm out as he convulsed, which caused his brother to inexplicably be tossed into and through the brick wall of the house. After crawling out to check on his broken and bloodied brother he accepted the inevitable. Now realizing that he couldn't let his parents find him, he forced himself to his feet and limped off, carrying only his scratched bass. He wandered the streets for 10 months while he learned to control his powers until he encountered someone who seemed to know what he was. They pointed him in the direction of the Tromperie's where he met them and was subsequently adopted with no hassle.
