“May you never forget what is worth remembering, nor ever remember what is best forgotten.”




Twenty-six year old Peter Allan Blaisdell is found dead in his home, surrounded by several different prescription medications and alcohol. Died of an overdose and a severely bad reaction to everything he'd taken. The police have confirmed it as a suicide. Only one knows the reason for his death -- twenty-three year old Rowena Calver, his heavily pregnant girlfriend. Problem is, she no longer remembers anything about him. Or their relationship. Or why she has a baby growing inside her.

She got involved in a traffic accident. A speeding car slammed into her side and skidded off into another car. Her car was smashed, yes. She and her unborn child were lucky enough to survive, with her escaping with several scrapes, bruises and a broken arm. She was immediately sent to the hospital when someone, a kind doctor, was kind enough to help her get out, take her to the hospital where he worked in and even stalled work time just to see if she was okay. They eventually became good friends. Peter happened to visit her when she gained consciousness again, but when he did, she asked him who he was. Unable to bear the loss of his girlfriend's memories of him, he tried in vain to get her to remember, but each time he did, she would say that she didn't really remember. At his wit's end, he grabbed all the prescription medication he had, bought a heck load of beer and mouthed it all down.

Soon after, Rowena was able to go back on her feet, despite the difficulty of being able to do so because of her being pregnant. A day or three later, she goes into labor and gives birth to a healthy baby boy. As the baby boy is handed to her, he opens his eyes and for the first time, she is struck. She is reminded of the man who visited her so often in the hospital after the accident. She then remembers. Everything. She names him Damon Peter Blaisdell after the father that he could've lived to see and the boyfriend whose death was caused by her amnesia.

But that was three years ago.

Her son is now at the vibrant age of three, a happy, healthy little boy who had inherited his father's eyes and looks. He lives with his mother in a loft apartment, where he is free to roam around and do as he pleases. Everything's been child-proofed, of course. He may be happy, but his mother isn't. She lives life miserably, works with a low morale and feels like she has nothing left. She still feels responsible for bringing about the death of her beloved boyfriend and she can't seem to have closure because of it. Upon the insistence of her mother, Rowena goes to see a psychiatrist, Dr. Addison Koertig. He turns out to be a simple young man, handsome too, about her age, and is quite understanding and mild-mannered, even outside of his profession. He helps her a lot, especially with coping with Peter's death and her guilt. She knows she is falling for him, but she's afraid of insulting Peter's memory. Addison also feels the same way, but he feels like this would simply impair the professional relationship they have together. Would their sessions bring them closer together or make them fall apart?

Can I reserve the psych? I pretty much have the beginning background to be a psychiatrist and it would be fun to see how it actually works on someone. although more figuratively in this case than actually helping someone. :)

I'll have the character sheet up in a bit. :)

I'd love to join.

I know this is a little far out on the spectrum, but could I play Damon's daycare/pre-school teacher? Perhaps through something Damon says about his mother, my character could somehow feel like she has to do something? I dunno. Just an idea.

(Kids can go to school at that age, right? I can't remember if I did or not. :P)

A better look.
Full name Rowena Ekaterina Calver
Nicknames Ro, Ro-ro, Kate
Role The depressed woman.
Age Twenty-six
Birthdate December 3
Occupation A 9 to 5, white collar job at some office and working mom.
Physical description Rowena is a dark-haired beauty, although she often dismisses this as utter crap. She is not very feminine, but she is not necessarily a butch. She knows how to be a girl, it was just that she could never fully appreciate herself anymore since the death of her boyfriend. Her skin is naturally soft, and has a healthy, peachy glow to it. Her cheeks are naturally rosy and, from before up until now, she is still considered the envy of many of her cousins for being uncommonly pretty. Her lips are pinkish and have a nice shape to them, especially when she smiles. Her eyes are clear gray and seem to fault-find you if you aren't careful with your words or if she is highly suspicious of you. She is a very expressive person, and her emotions are clear on her face if you want to know how she feels.

She stands at five feet and five inches, short compared to the rest of her family, who tower over her. The only height closer to hers is of her cousin Stephan, who is three and a half inches taller than her. She has never let this affect her, though. Her body shape is very rounded and curvaceous, although preferring to cover up, her hips don't really make covering up all that easy. The classic pear-shaped body, if you will.

Personality Rowena, ever since Peter's death, has become more cynical and sarcastic. She often dons this defense mechanism in case someone should go on and start an argument with her or provoke her in any way. She is opinionated and she is not afraid to voice out her opinions, excepting some occasions when he would respect others decisions to keep their life under wraps. She is not outspoken, though. More outrageous than outspoken. She has shown her softer, more respectful, laid-back and kinder personalities when she worries too much about something. She never used to be like this, and she vows not to behave like that until she finds someone she can truly love like she did Peter so she could have even just a little bit of closure.

History Rowena Ekaterina Calver was born to Jeremy and Bernice Calver, she being their third and last child. She didn't really mind being the youngest. She was spoiled with attention, but not so much as to make her older siblings jealous. In fact, it was rare for people to see her argue with her kind-mannered, passive yet chain-smoking eldest brother Maxwell or her rebellious older brother Denny. Her family was close-knit and it seemed that they couldn't just break away from their family. Their home was a loving household. To this day, they still keep in touch, even if Maxwell lives in Minneapolis, MN and Denny in Fargo, ND.

Rowena left home at the age of twenty to start a good life. Her parents respected her decision and they still paid her tuition for college. She was taking up a Mathematics major and an Art minor at the time, until she met Peter Allan Blaisdell, her classmate in Math class. The two got along rough, at first, partly because of the intervention of their annoying friend Guy, but when Guy dropped out of college not long after, they finally were able to work out some of the awkwardness. Their friendship was sweet and simple. They went out for coffee from time to time, went up the roof of an apartment to look at the skyline of the city and just lay under the stars, staring at them. They knew it couldn't really happen everyday or in real life, so they assumed it could be something. None of them had the confidence to do so until Peter approached her one day, asked her to follow him to the isolated corridor in their college, put her against the wall gently and kissed her. It was then that their feelings for each other were sealed.

Their relationship carried on for three years. Eight and a half months before the terrible accident, they both felt ready to make love. Just at the same time, their son Damon was conceived. They couldn't be happier when her pregnancy test results came out positive. They'd prepared for everything, even with the simple living income they had. It was delightful. Both of them parents, and Peter secretly planning to propose to her. Everything was going to fall in place. Until eight and a half months later, that crash affected their life. Peter committed suicide, Rowena gave birth and now her son was left with no father and she with no one to help raise her young son.

She now attends sessions with a psychiatrist named Addison Koertig, raises her son on her own, and thinks she lives a miserable life.

Likes Daffodils, popcorn, sarcasm, literature (preferably classic), growing plants from her window, having a little boy to love and take care of, Addison, red and maroon nail polish, working out at the gym, cooking
Dislikes Confusion, multiple things happening at the same time, when her cell phone's battery goes dead, nighttime, ska music, video games, her macrobiotic diet, everything about her
Others She happens to be allergic to rhubarb.

Full name Addison James Koertig
Nicknames Usually just A.J., but for the more imaginative people: Addie, Jay, Korteague, and Sonny.
Role Addison Koertig
Age 28
Birthdate December 23
Occupation Psychiatrist
Physical description A.J.'s kind of the runt in his family, standing with his impressive height of 6'2", it seems that he's the smallest in his family of four who all have more than remarkable heights exceeding 6'5". It doesn't take a fool to see that he's a pretty sweet guy, with that childish glow on his face and his constant soft and welcoming smiles. He doesn't really like sports, but he does exercise, just enough to keep his lean build in tact and his heart healthy. He also has a pair of dark brown expressive eyes that seem to add to that friendly aura that surrounds him. His dirty blond hair is usually left unkempt, except for special occasions when he uses up a whole tub of gel and sweep it back. He also has a stubble that he doesn't mind since it looks good on him. Despite his friendly attitude, it's rare that anyone who didn't know him would ever consider him to be in such a line of work: psychiatry, especially with his rather laid-back fashion which is really quite opposite to what he usually wears for work. He's usually content with just a shirt and a pair of pants, though you could often see him in his white shirt with his sleeves rolled up. Even at work, he always has his sleeves rolled up to his elbow.

Personality A.J.'s pretty much the kind of guy whose what you see is what you get. When he's smiling at you, it usually means he's in a good mood and he likes you. When he's frowning and trying his best to ignore your gaze, he's either trying to apologize or has a problem he doesn't want to tell anyone. He's pretty calm and laid-back, something he retained from living in a small town, and rarely does get angry. But even when he does, he usually just screams at that person for a few seconds before turning his back and leaving to calm his nerves. He's understanding and sweet, always happy to help around and be a friend to anyone who needs it. He does, however, on a few cases, have a problem with controlling emotions. He also believes in principles and tries his best to follow them to the letter. He's extremely generous, even to the point of martyrdom, and still he doesn't really mind. And he's not particularly fond of dragging people into his own misery, and that involves telling them when he has problems.

History Addison James Koertig was born into a rather large family of four. Large, because of they're naturally large heights. With both his parents, Eddison and Madeline Koertig, at a height of 6'8 and 6'5 respectively. And an older brother who was already close to 7 feet, he was literally, pretty much the runt of the family and was often treated with a certain favoritism from both his parents. It all ended though when he stepped foot on his senior year in high school wanting to be a psychologists, far away into the city where his expertise would be needed and away from the family's meat business.

Prior to that little realization of his, Addison lived a fairly good life. He had an older brother who loved him like his parents did. Something about being so little really appealed to tall people it seemed. And most of his childhood was plain and quaint, something he didn't really mind since it meant the world to him to have a family that was normal and sane, now that he looked back at it. There was only one thing he was never fond of as he was growing up. It was how his parents and his brother pressured him and his brother into the family business.

His young mind wasn't really able to easily process the sight of his older brother giving in to his parent's wishes; but he did learn however, to not give up on his own dreams, even though it caused him to tear himself away from the family. It was hard, having lived through most of his 20 years close with his family and forcing himself to live without connection to them for the past eight years. It did help though when a year after he left, he received an encouraging letter from his older brother who told him how he rooted for his escape and hope he gets to live his dream. He doesn't regret most of his decisions yet and is particularly happy helping out people with their problems, even though he couldn't even fix his own. Now he work as a partner in a practice by an acquaintance from college, where he met Rowena and has been attending her since he was referred to her by their mutual friend.

Likes Rowena, tea, reading, playing with children, a bit of sketching, classical music, cars, video games, old movies and the inner workings of the mind.
Dislikes Alcohol (except for wine,) taller people, being forced to tell people his problem, arrogant people, bossy people, losing his book mark and forgetting to check his phone messages.
Others He's been in and on and off relationship with his currently ex-girlfriend, Katie Simmons.


Yay! Tapos na! :)

Full Name Zaceus (Zac-key-US) Terrell Sharplen
Nicknames Zac for most but some come up with the weirdest nicknames for him such as Terry and Spaz.
Role Doctor
Age 29
Birthdate September 21
Occupation Doctor
Physical description
Personality Zaceus's personality can be summed up into two words, Caring & Passionate, but don't let that fool you, he can be a bit stubborn and doesn't take to kindly to threats. He has been known to blow up every now and then on a few people but nothing ever too serious. He has had to fight throughout his childhood which has made him strong willed and determined. If you rub him the wrong way, he will let you know, if you rub him the right way he'll definitely let you know. Straight forward and to the point are words that describe Zaceus's personality quite well.
History Zaceus Sharplen was born to Richard and Sarah Sharplen on September 21st. They felt both overjoyed and privileged to have had another boy, however it did not last, for their eldest son, Jonathan, didn't approve of having a little brother. They had a 4 year gap between them and would have been the only two if Richard and Sarah hadn't fooled around one night causing Sarah to be impregnated again. This time she had a healthy baby girl. Again it was a 4 year gap, Jonathan was 8, Zaceus was 4 and Regina was newly born, only a few minutes old but Zaceus took to his sister immediately however, Jonathan held resentment. He was upset that he was no longer the only child and felt that he would have to split his possessions in thirds now.

He kept a pent up anger for Zaceus and rather disliked his younger sister Regina. Zaceus however, loved both his siblings and treated them equally but Regina took a strong liking to her brother Zaceus while feeling a bit of dislike for her eldest brother and didn't build upon the relationship their parents had worked so hard to bestow. Their childhood was a normal one, well normal enough for Zaceus. As birthdays came, so to did the awkward behavior of Jonathan and Regina. It was as if the two had split sides and wanted Zaceus on their side but Zaceus remained neutral.

Finally, during Jonathan's 19th birthday, Zaceus being only 15 and Regina being only 11 felt the full built up rage of Jonathan. He cursed Zaceus and cursed his little 11 year old sister and then left the house, telling his parents that they never showed him any attention and that he hated being the eldest. Zaceus was crushed having felt that he caused the uproar but his mother reassured him that it wasn't his fault.

He had started college at the age of 18 hoping to become a Doctor for he loved helping others and giving people hope. At the age of 20, Zaceus got a job as receptionist at a children's clinic. His older brother got into a serious car accident and died which was a hard death to take, he loved his brother even though his brother hardly ever acknowledged him. His sister didn't even cry at the funeral but Zaceus couldn't keep himself together. It was then that he focused more on his studies. It took a few years but he finally got his degrees and certificates to become a doctor. Now at the age of 29, he enjoys his job and loves the fact that he may be able to save a life here or there.

He had been driving home one night when he noticed a wreck. Pausing, he saw that no one had called the police or anything so he decided to do so. When he investigated the car, he found that one was dead while a woman, Rowena, was still alive. Pulling her safely out of the car, he rushed her to the hospital seeing as the police had yet to get to the scene. He devoted a lot of his time in seeing if she was alright and making sure that everything had gone smoothly. He had even postponed some appointments in order to make sure Rowena was properly taken care of. When she finally released herself from the hospital, he was there to see her off, though he had grown fond of her in her stay at the hospital. SIghing, realizing that he had feelings for her, he kissed her on the cheek and watched her leave.

Regretting not letting her know how he truly felt, he simply went back to work, surrounding himself with work in order to make sure nothing stressed him out. The funny thing about him was that if he wasn't surrounded with work, he would usually be stressed out by the simplest of things. Now he wonders if he will ever see Rowena again.

His sister? Oh I nearly forgot about her, she went on to marry some rich spoiled kid who doesn't truly know how to please her except buy her expensive trinkets and things. He sees her every so often but she moved to live with the rich guy.
