[edit] CAST

Main Characters:

• Hair: Blonde
• Eyes: Blue
• Nationality: Polish, French Canadian
• Job: Clerk at Halden's Books
• Hobbies: Reading, walking (not for excersize)
• Music: Classical and jazz (Mozart, Freddie Hubbard)
• Other: Benji is basically a cutie with an attitude. He never smiles, unless he finds the misfourtune of others amusing. Benji HATES little kids, and tiny, furry animals... like poodles. Oh how he loathes poodles. Benji can usually be found with his nose in a book while listening to classical music, unless Jojo is blasting his head-banging, heavy metal music. His temper is short, and isn't afraid to use violence to shut people up. Benji doesn't like to talk about his childhood, or anything about his past for that matter. Beth and Jojo are the only ones who know Benji well, and quite frankly they don't blame Benji for not wanting to talk about his past.
• Name: Joseph (Jojo) Algono
• Age: 20
• Height: 5'10
• Hair: Dark brown
• Eyes: Brown
• Nationality: Albanian

• Music: Hard rock, punk, and dance (Atreyu, Hot Hot Heat, DDR soundtracks)
• Other: Jojo comes from an extremely Albanian family. He was born in the United States a little while after his parents moved there from Albania, so he speaks both English and Albanian. Jojo is an optomistic, outgoing guy (which is quite opposite of Benji). He isn't the brightest crayon in the box, so at times his naivety can can cause problems, making situations worse. He can't sit still for too long, and likes noise, so he's usually out and about at places like the mall or arcades. Jojo has a strange obsession with taking showers, so his showers can last for hours. He also likes to collect Cabbage Patch Kids....*cough*.

• Job: Waitress at bar
• Hobbies: Eating, drinking, singing
• Music: Rock, dance, and easy listening (Luscious Jackson, Evanescence)
• Other: Beth is Benji's older cousin. She loves to drink beer, and can hold her liquor quite well for a girl her size and age. She is a waitress at a bar, and often participates in drinking contests. Beth is a happy-go-lucky kind of girl, and somewhat of a ditz. She tries to look out for Benji as best she can, but she usually ends up being the one getting taken care of. Because of her looks, men tend to hit on her a lot. Dispite the fact that she can probably get any guy she wants, Beth chooses to remain single for unknown reasons.

• Other: Ron is a goth chick who has class, good looks, and attitude. She's usually very serious about things, but enjoys a good laugh or joke every once in a while. She seems to have issues with her parents and homelife, and hates to talk about it. Like Benji, she hates little kids, but oddly enough she likes babies (according to Ron, babies are cute until they learn how to talk and think). Ron is well known in the Hot Topic community, but in the outside world she is feared upon... which she finds amusing. One thing she really hates is her name, which people cannot spell nor pernounce.

• Other: To many people, Kurt is nothing more than a pervert. To those who know him best, Kurt is a huge pervert with a purpose... A purpose to score with Beth and any other fine girl that walks his way. Dispite his dirty thought process, Kurt is generally a nice guy with a good sense of humor. He shares an apartment with Ron, but they're nothing more than good friends. When he's not stalking Beth, he's out trying to find the perfect pet... other than Dog. He had some bad childhood experiences with his pets, and vowed to find a pet that wouldn't mysteriously die on him. Believe it or not, Kurt is a pretty decent fighter, but he doesn't reveal or use his skills much at all.

Sure, he has his doggie habits, but he really isn't your average dog. Dog has his jealous and rebelious moments, especially when Kurt brings home new pets. He loves peeing on Kurt's furniture, and is just simply a very cool dog.
