"It happened too fast for any of us to see it coming; one day, we were eating dinner at the table with Mom and Dad just like every other day before that, and the next day, they were dropping us off at the home of some uncle we barely knew. Mom had burst into tears when she said goodbye that day, which confused me, because I knew they had to be coming back. ”You’re gonna be staying here for a while, little man. Be nice to your sisters,” Dad had said, giving me a tight hug before ruffling my brother’s hair with his huge hand. ”You take good care of Emery, all right?” The nine-year-old Adrian had nodded vigorously, which made my father smile. Then he just stepped out the door and closed it behind him—that was it. I don’t even remember the last thing I said to him. Now I regret not telling him goodbye, or that I loved him, but I had been six, and how was I supposed to know that “for a while, little man” meant “I’m never coming back”?" -Emery Holbrook
Emery didn't find out the truth about his parents until he was 15, when Adrian told him. ”You know how most of the produce from the district goes to the Capitol? They took too many crops for themselves, Emery. That’s why they had to leave. They knew the Peacekeepers would be coming to take them away, so they brought us here.” The four siblings have lived on their uncle's farm ever since, and for the most part they've grown to love their two cousins, Toby and Desmond, as brothers.
{ooc- so I've never really posted anything like this in the plot board, it's kinda my first try. I'm not all that good at intros xD, so if you don't understand, it's all explained in the history section of Emery's bio, which is here. I'm just looking for some people to play the kids in my d11's family. Note: this is not first-come, first-serve.}

NAME|AGE|FC|PLAYED BY
I. THE ORPHANS
ADRIAN HOLBROOK|21|FC|RESERVED FOR CICI
The eldest of the Holbrook orphans, Adrian has always felt responsible for his younger siblings. Much like Emery, he takes it upon himself to make sure that they're always happy, and in order to do that he makes sure he's always in a good mood. But sometimes it seems like he's happy a little too often, and his brother and sisters are often forced to wonder whether or not he's faking it for their sakes. From the outside, Adrian seems like the kind of guy who treats life like a joke, who can't take anything seriously, but there's really more to him than meets the eye.
EMERY HOLBROOK|17|FC|PLAYED BY RASERI
Emery's the kind of person people are quick to trust--he's sweet and honest, and he's got an air of friendliness around him that draws people in. When one of the kids in the family are upset, he's usually the first one to take care of it. He loves all of his siblings, but ever since his parents left, he and Desmond, his first cousin, have been inseparable.
IONA HOLBROOK|15|FC|PLAYED BY CAMEO
Iona is the quiet one in the Holbrook household--she tends to mind her own business most of the time, and usually doesn't say much unless she's spoken to. When she does speak, however, it's almost always something important and intelligent, never useless babble like the stuff the other kids use occasionally in conversation. It's obvious to everyone in the family that she's the smartest out of all of them, and most agree that she's made to do great things.
EVANGELINE HOLBROOK|13|FC|PLAYED BY ZORI
Evangeline, Evangeline, Evangeline. Ever since she began to walk, the youngest Holbrook has been discovering new ways to get into trouble. But she's a princess, and she knows it. With a swift apology, a few bats of her eyelashes, and a slight protrusion of a bottom lip, she's always forgiven easily. The 13-year-old is hardly seen without a sweet little smile (with the exception of her increasingly infrequent temper fits, of course), and I suppose that's why everyone considers her to be the little ray of sunshine of the family.
II. THE COUSINS
TOBIAS "TOBY" HOLBROOK|16|FC|PLAYED BY KIAH
Toby's kind of the black sheep of the family--nobody really knows what to think of him. He's never been as close to the orphans as his brother, and he often becomes bitter at them--he believes they've robbed his father's attention, leaving little for him, the youngest boy. He's subject to fits of anger and will occasionally slink back into his room and not talk to anyone. Maybe it's a phase.
DESMOND HOLBROOK|FC|17|RESERVED FOR VICTORY
If you can picture the perfect gentleman, that would be Desmond; he's pretty much the epitome of chivalry, always considerate, always putting others before himself. When the Holbrook orphans were left at his house, it was, for the most part, little six-year old Desmond who made them feel at home. Unlike Toby, he thought of Adrian and Emery as his brothers, and Iona and Evangeline as his sisters. [/size]
