[/COLOR][/B]: Ryland has a square face with a very defined jaw line with features that kind of borderline rugged and boyish. He has a youthful appearance which only hints at his age by his stuble because of the fact that he rarely shaves. He has really light blue eyes that they almost appear grey in color with a dark blue ring around the edge of his iris. His eyes are framed by rather thick eye brows which aren’t usually too big of a concern for him. He has brown sugar brown hair that is kind of usually messy because he is one of those people who rolls out of bed and runs his hands through his hair and calls it good. The rest of him is muscular but not overly so it’s enough that it’s defined but not the first thing you notice about him. He is pretty slender in his build though too which makes him seem more like the druggy he is. If you get his typical long sleeved shirt off of him you’ll notice the track marks from where he’s shot up with drugs several times.
personality: Ryland when sober is actually a very sweet guy, he’s polite, caring and protective of those he cares about. When Ryland is high he can and will be rude, pushy and very mean to anyone close to him. He is typically the person who most people bare their souls too and working behind the counter of a bar has made that more evident. He is usually a pretty trustworthy guy when it comes to showing up for his job, and things but when it comes to actually doing some of the work don’t expect a yes for an answer. At one point in his life he had ambition to be something big like a doctor or a lawyer, but he got into drugs and has pretty much let all of his dreams go to the wayside.

He has a tendency to give some pretty solid advice when he is sober, which has become less and less often lately. He is a loose cannon when he is high and his mood can swing from one extreme to the other at a drop of a hat. He is the opposite when he is sober, he is pretty level headed and generally sweet without any issues at all as far as mood go. He is someone that if you can get him sober long enough is the perfect person to bring home to the parents. When high he is the last person that you want near your family or friends.
likes: Crack, LSD, Alison, cheeseburgers, sleeping off his high, bar tending, good tips, sleeping in general, late nights, French fries, ice cream, most junk food, animals, the color grey, alcohol, Lilith, home cooked food, his apartment
dislikes: being called an addict, not remembering what he did the night before, missing things, locking himself out of his apartment, vegetables, stupid customers, withdrawal, headaches, hang overs, cooking, cleaning, obnoxious people, the munchies, coming down from a high, pigeons, the color orange
strengths: getting people to open up to him, cooking – yes he hates it but he’s good at it, bartending, Alison
weaknesses: Alison, his unpredictable moods when high, pretty much always being high, his tendency to lock himself out of his apartments

history: Born on March 13th 1987 in Orlando Florida to Michelle and Jared Collins at 1:33 pm Ryland Trevor Collins was everything the family didn’t want. Michelle who was a cardiothoracic surgeon well on her way to being on top, and Jared an up and coming lawyer who worked with medical law suits didn’t want children. They wanted to just live their whole lives focused on their careers, which was what made them the perfect match for each other. Ryland was raised by nanny’s and his grandparents who thought that their children’s behavior was horrible to the new member of the family. When he was three though Ryland would lose all four of his grandparents in that year, one to a stroke another of a broken heart for the loss of her husband, another because of cancer and one because of dementia which would affect Ryland’s behaviors for the rest of his life. When Ryland turned four his younger sister Lilith was born.

Even though Ryland thought that having a little sister meant he’d get to see his mom and dad more it really just did the opposite. Lilith seemed to make the already distant parents drift further from their children and when Ryland started school when he turned five he started having behaviors. Lashing out at other students, taking stuff, getting into fights not doing school work, and the school would call his parents but a nanny always showed up. Ryland didn’t even see his own mom and dad when he lashed out to get their attention. He continued this and get suspended and twice expelled but his parents would just move him to a different school when he was expelled.

By the time Ryland turned seven he’d quit trying for his and Lilith’s parents’ affections. He kind of withdrew some and focused on making sure Lilith thought she was loved by calling his parents when her birthday was coming up to remind them to have presents for her. He became more like an adult and was the one doing all of the stuff that their mom and dad should have been doing for them. Lilith didn’t know how distant her parents actually were. When Ryland turned ten his parents took an interest in Lilith and him for the first time. It was a business cruise for Jared and the family had to go along for it to work out because the person wanted a family oriented people. It was here that Ryland realized not all parents were like his. He actually noticed that most parents liked to brag about their kids and talk about their kids, while their parents spoke about business.

Ryland did what he could to protect the six year old Lilith and give her the time of her life on the cruise. He filled in the blanks that his parents couldn’t when they had to talk about their children. Ryland also found himself just trying to avoid his parents otherwise. When the cruise was over Ryland would continue to lash out in school and by the time he was fourteen years old he started dappling in drugs. He would experiment with anything and everything that he could get his hands on. And soon crack was his go to drug while still playing around with others. His behavior started to change some too and he lost interest in a lot of things that he had previously enjoyed. Somehow miraculously he made it through school by the time he was eighteen with allot of cheating off of other people.

That was also when he packed up his fourteen year old sister, took money from his parents, and money that his parents had been giving them to get him and Lilith out of there. He had enough money for the two of them to get settled for a year and for him to find a job. They moved to point pleasant a quiet little town they could start fresh in. This allowed them to make up a story about their parents dying a couple of years ago and being in bad foster homes. First he went to selling other drugs aside from crack because it was an easy way to make huge sums of money while his sister was in school. Lying that he was nineteen he got himself into working in a bar as the bus boy. His lie would be found out but the bar manager liking how hard Ryland worked let him stay.

When Ryland turned twenty one the bar manager let him start working behind the bar as a bartender. Even though Ryland still dappled heavily in drugs and now alcohol he was actually surprisingly good at bartending. He however very rarely actually looked closely at most id’s and basically as long as he was shown an id would serve the alcohol regardless of age. Ryland would meet his off again on again girlfriend Alison who is the only person who really affected him deeply enough to do anything with. Ryland still wouldn’t quit his life style though and now at twenty four he’s still on the drugs.[/ul][/SIZE][/FONT]

Sample:

Rhea sat in Merlottes quietly in a corner booth, nursing the iced tea she’d ordered for about an hour. She didn’t want to leave the place at the moment, because she had no money to pay for the iced tea. She had no money period but if she went to her apartment she had no electricity. It had come down to keeping her apartment or having working lights, she opted for keeping her apartment. She couldn’t afford the place, she couldn’t afford the tea. She wasn’t smart but she sure as hell wasn’t dumber than hell either. Ok maybe she was she hadn’t been in school for seven years, she was sixteen without an education, and probably without a place to stay and Bon Temps was such a little ass wipe of a town in the middle of nowhere she really had no way of getting the money she would else where but something about the town made her feel safe like she wasn’t going to end up in a ditch on the side of the road.

Rhea counted the change in her pocket, she had a dollar and twenty cents. She couldn’t afford to eat at the moment but her stomach was growling in protest to not having food and her brain was starting to feel the same way. She was light headed at the moment, she hadn’t had a real thing to eat in about four days, sure she’d had a chip or two that she’d gotten from her cupboard but that bag had been gone since the morning of day one and she hadn’t had anything to eat since. Her stomach was mad at her her head was protesting the pain that was coming from her stomach and her world was starting to spin. Rhea was kind of wondering what she was going to do at the moment. Leaving the last of her money on the table she got up stumbling on high heeled shoes because she couldn’t even see straight at the moment. Rhea was getting kind of nauseous to but she needed to get out of there at the moment.

Rhea pulled down her short skirt a little so it was a little more visible under her long shirt which was the most covering thing she owned. She started to walk out of the restaurant but her light headedness made her run into one of the guys working which made her disoriented state a little worse at the moment.

“I’m sorry” whispered Rhea “I’m just trying to get out of here”
