about our characters

Updated: Jul 17, 2020

the characters of getaway car have very different personalities and tastes. they're famous for their banter, and in the story, they're notoriously known as the seven - a wild group of teenagers, on the run from the government, who need to be caught and contained.



 


adrian taylor

the closeted pansexual


if i'm going to be a mess, i might as well be a hot mess

adrian.

he / him. pansexual. xvii. virgo.

playboy. constantly eating.

dyslexic. flirts with everyone.

clumsy. broken. heartbreaker.

has trouble controlling his

emotions. really hot. addicted

to soda. crushing on oliver, but

tries to hide it. snacks over gum.


birthday - august 24


adrian is the government leader’s infamous son, forced on a mission that is almost painfully ironic – although if he mentioned the irony to anyone, he’d likely get killed. by his own father.


 


harper hayes

the freewheeling bisexual


sweetheart, i've got no shits left to give

hayes.

she / her. bisexual. xvii. scorpio. bubble

tape. only goes by her last name. literally

couldn't care less. feet always up on the

dash. beat-up dark red converse.

constantly annoys the others by blowing

& popping her bubblegum. too sure of

herself. bubblegum bitch. acrophobia

but would never admit. gum over snacks.


birthday - november 8


harper – better known to the world as hayes – doesn’t give a shit. about anything. even if that includes being an openly freewheeling bisexual, a personal go to hell message to the government that could easily get her into a dangerous mess there’s no way out of.


 


hollis 'oli' becker

the asexual plant dad



all problems can be solved by screaming profanities and hugging trees, right, bill?

oli.

he / him. asexual. xviii. virgo. plant dad.

stereotypical canadian. has a swearing

problem. bilingual. accidentally stumb-

led into this mess, but went with it. a

total fanboy. annoys the others by always

complaining about his never-clean glasses.

can and will get drunk on maple syrup.

mom friend. love coach. total spork.


birthday - september 17


hollis, your usual asexual vegan, never meant to get involved in this catastrophe. he was perfectly content with his extensive knowledge of german expletives and his tiny cactus, bill. but a disastrous turn of events soon lead both him and bill tumbling headfirst – quite literally – into this terrible, all-too-chaotic misadventure.


 


addyson peoria

the not-so-secret admirer



love is a chemical reaction; when particles collide, they explode

addy.

he / him. bisexual. xvii. capricorn. stress-

eats citrus fruits. quietly observes every-

thing around him. makes random witty

remarks / facts. constantly loses his things.

has an incredible memory otherwise. tidy.

practical & punctual. fanboy. secretly

admires hayes. follows the rules ( mostly ).


birthday - january 7


addyson never meant to come along, either. he was completely fine with stress-eating various citrus fruits and quietly admiring harper hayes from afar, making sure his feelings stayed carefully concealed – after all, love was just a mess of chemicals, and he really couldn’t afford the explosion. but wherever hayes goes, he has to go – even if only to make sure she didn’t make too many dumb decisions.



 


oliver solace

the salty-but-soft gay


no, i don't 'like' any of you. the only one of you lot who i can actually sort of tolerate is bill

oliver.

he / him. gay. xvii. capricorn. cellist.

dessertaholic. sarcastic. hot-headed.

teddy bear of the group. pessimistic.

tries to be tough. ran away. curses a

lot. will do anything for dessert. adhd.

has perfected the death glare. loyal.

named his cello 'frosting'. is secretly

crushing on adrian. sad. cinnamon roll.


birthday - december 29


oliver hates anything and everything to ever exist. the world, the people, and of course the government – but there really isn’t anything he can do about that last one. there really isn’t anything he can do about any of them. in fact, the only reason he got tangled up with this insufferable group was because of one person . . . and he can’t even admit that to himself.



 


nicole 'coco' kent

the decidedly straight





i have no clue what the frick is happening, but i'm here for all of it

coco.

she / her. very, very confused. xvi.

taurus. innocent child ( until she met

the seven ). quiet. self-proclaimed

"smart one." peacemaker. introverted

bean. secretly sentimental. thinks

everyone should just shut up.


birthday - may 17



coco was living a normal life, or as normal as it could get – but as it turns out, she has a skill. a skill the government needs to accomplish their main mission. so when they give her an offer she simply cannot refuse, she finds herself working alongside adrian . . . until she realizes something about herself, something that changes her view of everything. and suddenly, her world is abruptly, inescapably thrown off balance.


 


robin west

the designated driver


you know what, fuck the rules

robin.

she / her. straight. trans. xviii. libra.

driver of ossie. sarcastic as fuck.

loyal. says what’s on her mind.

extroverted. rulebreaker. secretly

cares about all of the seven. loves

singing && reading. will always

tell the truth, even if it’s hard to

hear. easygoing & impulsive.


birthday - october 13


robin very much wishes she was anywhere but here. besides harper hayes’ unbearable gum-chewing, her poor volkswagen beetle, ossie – one of the very few left from before the government fallout – has taken a beating that she truly doesn’t deserve. carrying seven people is one thing, but any more gunfire and ossie will be done for – but robin really has no choice but to press the gas pedal harder, because rather unfortunately, the government already has the license plates . . .



 


oswald

the getaway car


i'm only driving you because i don't have a choice . . . but if my baby ossie gets a single scratch on her, the government can have your frucking arses

ossie.

volkswagen beetle. adorable.

pastel yellow. tiny. persistent.

doesn't deserve any of this.

attracts an unholy amount of

gunfire. license plate spells

out OSSIE. obnoxiously loud

engine. rattles as she drives.


birthday - june 22
