Original comment (Mon, June 3, 2013):
Some notes:
Deemed no-longer-official as of mid-2015 because I couldn't figure out how to color white hair and not make it look funny. Seth has black hair. Like a normal Asian.
2010 will be the base year for when our main 4 characters are in 8th grade. This matches the age of my 2nd little brother. Unfortunately, this means that the years in which they are in college and afterwards have yet to occur, so... some of that might be historically inaccurate. Oh wellz.
Re: "Intelligent unless otherwise noted." It seems that I have issues trying to create characters without perfect grades.
If anyone wants to suggest names, feel free to do so! o/ Or middle names, if you'd like.
People that need names: Mr. & Mrs. Huang, Alan's parents & aunt and uncle
I apologize for any inaccuracies. Unless it's something I'm actually familiar with, I’m probably just making stuff up.
Comment (Sat, June 20, 2015): Sometimes I've wondered if I have too many characters. Writing advice always says to get rid of/combine characters that don't do much to affect the plot/story. But technically there isn't much of a plot. It's just life.
List of Changes:
Edit (Thurs, March 12, 2015): Changed journal skin (to old dA journal style); added Derek Castillo and Kate Tsai.
Edit (Sun, March 22, 2015): Changed journal skin to ft.DB/Simple. Added notes to explain subheadings...
(ft.DB/Simple is just how I'm referring to this edited journal skin... idk what to call it because "Simple Journal Skin" is really generic.. But yeah, I guess I'll use it for DB stuff for now. =D)
Edit (Sun, May 10, 2015): Combined/shortened descriptions for Mr. and Mrs. Go; added LOCATIONS section.
Edit (Wed, June 17, 2015): Removed 'plays soccer' from Alan's description; changed 'plays soccer' to 'enjoys playing soccer' in Emily's.
*a few minutes later* Added more information personality-wise for Chris, Seth, Alan, Emily, and Zach. Included links to the character memes for Seth and Chris. Text on plain version has not been changed.
Edit (Thurs, June 18, 2015):
- Lance: added baseball
- AJ: added electric bass
- Zach: clarified that leading worship was done with guitar and singing
- Liz: added softball and IB
- Derek: added bass clarinet and bassoon (guitar added Tues 6/23)
- Kate: added dislike of chocolate/mint and appreciation of flowers
- Mr. Sun: replaced 'classic service worship leader at church' with 'plays piano for church'
- Mr. Go: added 'sometimes traveling overseas'
Edit (Fri, June 19, 2015): Clarified that Emily's dad pastors a different church. (*church history still being worked on)
Edit (Sat, June 20, 2015):
- Chris: clarified section of violin
- Seth: clarified 3rd chair for Sinfonia, concertmaster for 8th Grade Oke; added left-handed (which apparently I didn't think to mention haha)
- Tim & Titus: added cello and bass (*have yet to determine who plays which; maybe they both play both to continue confusing people XD)
- HPMS: added information about orchestra/band
- Mr. & Mrs. Huang: removed hymns (*it's confusing to project onto two sets of parents. Hm.)
Edit (Sun, June 21, 2015): Added 'in a relationship' to Lance and Liz (sshhhh, it's a secret. ;D)
Edit (Thurs, Feb 18, 2016):
- Alan: added 'can't sing'
- Liz: added '/piccolo' (did I forget this before??)
- Tim & Titus: removed 'usually quite rowdy and wreak a lot of havoc, especially when working together'; unsure about their personalities
- The Teacher: put quotation marks around 'evil'; lol poor Lance xD;;
Edit (Fri, May 27, 2016): Removed 'class president' from Seth because I'm not quite sure what I'm doing with that...
Edit (Sun, May 29, 2016): Added thumbnails of profile sheets to Chris (old), Seth, and Zach. Tried to change the code for the black border surrounding the thumbnail, but it was confusing me. Just left it as the original in the end.
Edit (Tues, June 14, 2016): Changed 'Mr. & Mrs. Huang' to 'Paul and Melody Huang' since I semi-randomly/finally decided on names to put them on Emily's profile sheet.
Character descriptions subject to change.

It's really funny and slightly revolting to come here and see my old comment, where I haven't even capitalized all the 'I's. Then again, I guess some months can make a huge difference (Plus, there are probably things I do now that I'll look back at and mental throw up at...)
And this is extreeeemmmeelllyyy helpful. Also, now that I've gone through 9th grade English, I've realized Seth and Chris are like perfect characters foils of each other xD
