Under One Roof - Prologue: Meet the Household


AJ
AJ was Chris' neighbor when they were still in junior high. That was when they met. After furthering his studies at Sunset Valley University, he then met fellow band mates, Nick and Biew. At Nick's suggestion, they took up the name "Voltron Force" for their band. He's the band's drummer and occasional vocalist. He was in another band with Nick called "The Cockroaches" prior to the forming of V-Force. Lives with the rest of his friends at 15, Summer Hill Court, Sunset Valley. Currently working at the Landgraab Industries Science Facility.

Nick
Nick once studied abroad with Joyce prior to coming to Sunset Valley. He then met AJ and Biew while furthering his studies at Sunset Valley University. His decision to call the band "Voltron Force" came somewhat suddenly. Nevertheless, they stuck with that name ever since. He's the band's lead guitarist and occasionally plays bass. Prior to the forming of V-Force, he was in a band called "The Cockroaches" together with AJ. Nick once dated Nicky's friend Eileen, although they broke up due to unknown circumstances. Lives with the rest of his friends at 15, Summer Hill Court, Sunset Valley. Currently working at the Wilsonoff Community Theatre.

Biew
Biew hails from the East Coast. According to him, he hasn't been out much since the time he spent back at his home. Coming to Sunset Valley was an opportunity for him to see the world; a small part of it anyway. He met AJ and Nick while studying in Sunset Valley University. He was the one that was really excited on the band being named "Voltron Force" much to the surprise of his other band mates. He's the band's bassist and occasionally plays rhythm guitar. Lives with the rest of his friends at 15, Summer Hill Court, Sunset Valley. Currently working at the Wilsonoff Community Theatre.

Chris
Chris is a long time friend of AJ. They met while still in junior high. Rumors have it that Chris somehow "idol-worships" AJ from time to time which would explain how he ended up with AJ even after a decade. He loves to put up the "lone wolf" attitude from time to time. This has led to others calling him a loner and some calling him absent-minded. It's been ten years and he hasn't changed one bit. He holds a secret crush on Nicky ever since they met in university. Although he tried numerous times to tell her, she simply brushed off his gesture with a stern look. Lives with the rest of his friends at 15, Summer Hill Court, Sunset Valley. Currently working at the Doo Peas Corporate Tower. Ironically, the same workplace as Nicky.

Nicky
Nicky and Eileen hails from the same hometown and consider each other long time friends. Biew had once called her an over-achiever and a perfectionist. She was the one who introduced Eileen to Nick who eventually started dating... for awhile. Their breakup isn't known to her yet however. She used to have a hard time keeping Chris off her back during her university days. She eventually learnt to "live with it" as time went by. She usually falls head over heels on any guy she admires. Lives with the rest of her friends at 15, Summer Hill Court, Sunset Valley. Currently working at the Doo Peas Corporate Tower.

Eileen
Nicky's long time friend and Nick's ex-girlfriend. How or why they broke up remains a mystery but they've decided to "talk things out" when the time is right. She had a bad encounter with Biew just days after moving in with the rest of the household. They've been at each other's throats ever since. She also had arguements with AJ prior to the incident with Biew. However, that was settled and soon enough they were both best of friends. As with Biew, she hasn't talked to him since. Lives with the rest of her friends at 15, Summer Hill Court, Sunset Valley. Currently working at the Sunset Valley Police Department.

Joyce
Joyce is Nick's long time friend. He used to bail her out of trouble when they were still in high school. She's tried to repay the favor more times than she can remember. Although her intentions are good, her actions usually make the situation a lot worse much to the horror of those around her. Despite the mishaps, she still maintains a pretty good friendship with Nick and she intends to keep it that way. Lives with the rest of her friends at 15, Summer Hill Court, Sunset Valley. Currently working at the Sacred Spleen Memorial Hospital. Ironic, isn't it?

Neo
A bookworm and so called "#1 V-Force Fan" in the whole of Sunset Valley. Neo and Biew were classmates during their early years in university. There was always this recurring joke when there were any favors or chores to be done, the task would be always pushed to Neo as he was "The One" for the job. Thanks to Biew, the rest of the household has adopted to "The One" joke; much to Neo's annoyance. Although it has died down a bit, it would be brought up from time to time when it was time to do the dishes. That's when Neo would grab a book, retreat to his room and disappear until the next morning. Lives with the rest of his friends at 15, Summer Hill Court, Sunset Valley. Currently working at the Doo Peas Corporate Tower.
