Beautiful People- Purpose

Okay guys, I used to read these Beautiful People posts before I had a blog and wish I could do it with my characters. And then when I got a blog, the BP posts had been put on hold. But now they're back!
The point of them is to pick a character (or two) and answer these questions for them. Since Blaze is finished I'm going to use the two main characters from my next work-in-progress- Purpose.

I believe the saying goes "Ladies First" so here we go.

1) What is their full name and is there a story behind why they got it? 
Her full name is Tyne Gentry. She was given the name by random selection from a pool of names for people who don't exist.

2) How old are they, and when were they born? 
Tyne is 16 and the records show that she was born January 1st, 1998.

3) Describe their physical appearance. (Bonus questions: 1. What is their race/nationality/ethnicity? 2. Do you have a picture of them? If so, include it!) 
Tyne has short blond hair. It's starting to grow out now, but it's just a little bit past a boy cut. She has green eyes. She's average height for a girl and very thin. Her nationality is American, not that she knows it. I haven't been able to find a good picture of her short hair, but she looks like this with her hair grown out.

4) Describe your character's personality first in one word, and then elaborate with a few sentences. 
Structured. Tyne likes everything to be ordered and exact, no matter what. She hates it when things deviate from the norm. It sends her into sensory overload and she gets really freaked out.

5) What theme song(s) fit their personality and story arc? 
I have two that really fit her personality and how she looks at the world.
Outlaws, by Disciple and The Reckless Youth, by Pillar.

6) Which one of the seven deadly sins describes your character? 
It's a toss up between wrath and pride. Tyne has a very short temper. Very short. But she's also very proud of her accomplishments and she puts a lot of stock in what she can do.

7) If they were an element (fire, water, earth, air), which one would they be? 
Tyne would be air. It seems pretty basic, but it can be very dangerous when it turns into wind.

8) What is their favorite word? 
"No". If the question asked for her two favorite words it would be "No, Wyatt." I'm not sure no is truly her favorite word because she likes it the most, but she does say it an awful lot.

9) Who’s one person they really miss? (It could be someone who’s passed away, or someone they’re not close to anymore, or someone who’s moved away.)
Tyne doesn't have a family to miss, and she doesn't really have any friends. She's not allowed to get close to anyone. But later on in the story she ends up really missing Wyatt. For reasons I can't disclose.

10) What sights, sounds, and smells remind them of that person?
When she sees the busy city with people going every where, or when she gets into tight spaces it reminds her of Wyatt. He really likes the first, and hates the second. Also, the smell of gun oil and axe cologne remind her of him.

And now for the gentlemen.

1) What is their full name and is there a story behind why they got it? 
Wyatt Pierce. He got his name the same way Tyne did. Random selection.

2) How old are they, and when were they born? 
Wyatt is 17. He was born October 15th, 1996. He's older than Tyne but the trainers held him back longer than most because they knew Tyne would be a great match for him.

3) Describe their physical appearance. (Bonus questions: 1. What is their race/nationality/ethnicity? 2. Do you have a picture of them? If so, include it!) 
Wyatt is tall, slim, and muscular. He has dark eyes and short brown hair. He's American/Russian, but he doesn't find that out till much later.

4) Describe your character's personality first in one word, and then elaborate with a few sentences. 
Rebellious. He hates being told what to do. Hates following the system. He wants to do his own thing.

5) What theme song(s) fit their personality and story arc? 
He gets two songs too. Worlds Collide by 12 Stones, and Strike Back by We as Human

 

6) Which one of the seven deadly sins describes your character? 
Wrath, for sure. Wyatt can fly off then handle at any given minute. And he really doesn't care.

7) If they were an element (fire, water, earth, air), which one would they be? 
He would definitely be fire. The dangerous, wild, one.

8) What is their favorite word? 
"Why?" Even if he doesn't exactly say 'why', Wyatt is always asking questions. He always wants to know the cause for things. He doesn't accept that that's just how things are.

9) Who’s one person they really miss? (It could be someone who’s passed away, or someone they’re not close to anymore, or someone who’s moved away.)
Wyatt doesn't exactly miss people in the normal sense. Aside from Tyne he really doesn't care about anyone he knows, and he's not exactly the best of friends with Tyne. But he misses the family he knows he had. Wyatt never knew his family at all, and up until recently it hadn't even dawned on him that at one point he had parents, and maybe even siblings. That under different circumstances he would have been in a family just like the ones he sees playing in the park. And he misses that. He misses the family he should have had.

10) What sights, sounds, and smells remind them of that person?
When he sees families, parents taking care of kids, siblings chasing each other, that reminds him.
