Don't judge. Bio: Bryn grew up in Pensacola, Florida with her widowed mother and older sister. Her father died of cancer when she was ten years old. Being an architect, he was the creative one of the family, always teaching her that hard work and persistence could also be a lot of fun. They'd often do projects together and were very close. His death crushed her, mentally and physically. During this hard time, her mom would give her books to take her mind off of her emotions. Bryn liked reading, but what she truly loved was when books had pictures. She studied them closely, how the people or cartoons in the pictures posed and smiled. She frequently visited the library to check out even more books of her own. From then on, she wished to one day be an artist. Although, she didn't have the talent for drawing, on her twelfth birthday she got her first cheap camera from her grandparents. She took pictures of literally everything in sight! And she LOVED IT.

Bio: He is currently getting his degree in Criminal Justice, he lives in the dorms with his twin brother Leon, though they do have a house in town. But Joe prefers to stay away from there when possible for personal reasons... Joe and Leon are very close, to the point where they love to trick people using the fact that they're identical to each other. They even have the same hairstyle, the only way to tell them apart is by the way they part their hair, and even then it's a fifty fifty shot that you're going to guess which one's the right twin. They'll often switch places or react to the other's name. They'll even go to the other's class for the day if they feel like it and just take meticulous notes for the other. Joe has wanted to be a detective ever since he was a child. He decided that was what he wanted to do most and went for it. He began to delve deep into mystery novels, began to pick the locks in their home, hack their own computers, and even pick pocket small things from his family, returning most of it of course, knowing that even though he loved golden age mysteries where the detective uses the clues at his disposal, without the help of any form of technology. He knew in the modern age there were emails and security feeds, and if he decided to be a private detective, he'd have to do things the shady way, such as breaking in and hacking their computers to gain invaluable information. Though he one day dreams of getting into a golden age mystery situation where he could be the detective. Since he was a teenager he dragged his brother around on small investigations that primarily involved lost objects or animals, sometimes he'd luck out and stumble on an actual crime, like a theft. He was rather good, connecting every event together to ultimately form the truth. Meaning he'd either find the culprit and/or the missing object or animal. Occupation: Detective/college student Hobbies: He enjoys reading, especially mystery novels. He likes to go through old unsolved cases and create theories for them. He plays videogames, usually with his brother. He practices kendo with Leon. They loved swords especially the katana, so they took to it quickly.

Name: Leon Knox Age: 18 Appearance: Same physical appearance as Joe. Bio: Joe's twin brother, he's normally with Joe, they're practically inseparable, whenever they're not in school, they're normally hanging out together. Leon enjoyed the aspects of helping his brother when they investigated. He was the Watson to his Sherlock. He'd help by keeping an eye out while his brother did less than legal things, create distractions, and help him go over any files that he brought home with him and needed the reading to be split up. But he felt he could help in other aspects, like ensuring that any criminal taken to court would be punished for their crimes. So, he began to delve into law and the court system. He'd attend trials and watch the proceedings. He'd spend the nights pouring through historic cases and through books on law. When he'd exhaust them he'd go onto local cases, both new and old. He'd love to be behind the prosecution's stand one day, tearing apart a witness's statement until the truth was revealed. Occupation: College student/assistant Hobbies: He plays videogames with his brother. Enjoys reading. He plays violin on occasion. He also enjoys practicing kendo with Joe. Skills: Kendo, speed reading, violin playing.

@Pheonix there's your first issue: a la ditz! And just so ya know she's gonna act like a deer in the headlights.
hey! Yeah college has kept me real busy... and i somehow ended up tangled in a real life love triangle. NOT WILLINGLY! I dont even know what the heck happened...
Working on it: and as to how the triangle happened.... one guy pretty much beat the other to it and asked me out first (i met both at a state competition, and one made it to nationals, along with me). What's ironic is that i can easilly see myself with either one of them. One's an outdoorsy type that lives on a dairy, and the other, who i'm currently dating, is in college for computer security. I THINK i've pretty much gotten the message across to the other guy that I am not about to do anything stupid, so we're in that awkward friend stage thing, but he still seems to try and find ways to mess with me! Stupid males and their irresistible goofy behaviors... and it doesnt help that i was only teased and harrassedby guys until i met those two, who both pretty much can't seem to believe im actually real and not some ghost that will vanish in an instant. Seriously, I asked them. So now i have an attraction complex. BAH and now i also found out just yesterday that the other guy would have committed suicide if i hadn't started talking to him again! long story short some serious shit happened in his life and i was one big ass positive light, so now im scared to leave him alone.
Another problem: they both live in the same town and i live an hour away. They get along in a way, but i always get this feeling that territorialness is going to best the both of them. It's happened before and one got a concussion out of it. (that happened at state when we were all at the pool hanging out. I was with my classmates and didnt really know what to think of them at the time -they were wrestling. Nor did i realize that they were actually fighting over me: im a ditz. I ended up helping the one guy who is now my "friend" back to his room, and oh do i wish i hadn't put myself in that situation. he had a silver tongue to boot but i stole his phone and called his parents, so that shut him up quickly. lucky his mom is a nurse so i was able to treat him properly and keep him awake until his buddies got back and helped me out so i could leave.) Guys are stupid. No offense to you boys here, but guys are. And i am way too caring so i end up getting in dumb situations like this.
