Age: 16
DOB: January 6th
Nickname: Josh
Josh and Darin have grown up in a world that parellels ours--except that some time in the late 1970's and continuing to the mid 1980's there were a series of wars, ending in an apocalypse. Society was broken by these wars. What rebuilt itself is a strict, status-conscious, unforgiving government, where corruption runs rampant and the priveledged indulge, and only the lawless of the unpriveldeged can succeed. Josh is from one of those privledged houses. Darin grew up an orphan in the streets with the hoods. He got a scholarship to the Academy where Josh attends, it is really his only chance at a life that doesn't involve being a thug.
With a single act of kindness, helping Josh even though he doesn't deserve it, Darin whole life will change, his world turned upside down.
(Oh, the redheaded girl is me.)
