likes: fast cars. fast motorcycles. fast anything, really. hard liquor. good music. healthy competition. cold nights. green tea in the mornings. danger. emotional detachment.
dislikes: sunday afternoons. overmedication. hangovers. commitment. current status of battery city. sand storms. running out of gas. popcorn. bl/ind. saying goodbye.
quirks: fascinated with drowning. collects hoodies and jackets despite living in a desert. collects untranslatable words from other languages.
personality: july is an incredibly competitive individual, even though she refers to her need to dominate everything as "good ol' healthy competition." despite being a bit of a sore loser, july spends an incredible amount of time working on anything she's not amazing at, such as poker or dice games. that said, she refuses to cheat in games and competitions, and when her competitor is caught cheating, the guns do come out. july possesses a strong moral compass, which, unfortunately causes her to see in black and white: there are good guys and there are bad guys, but nothing in between. if she loves you, she'll love you forever, but god help you if you cross her; it's easy to make july like you, but it's damn near impossible to regain lost trust.

i wanna hear you sing the praise

history: born to a medical researcher and a professor of engineering, julianne, often referred to as "julie" or "july," led an unremarkable childhood in atlanta, georgia. her formative years were marked with adolescent boredom and petty rivalries with her younger brother owen. due to her parents' status within the community, julie and owen were molded into overachievers; julie wanted to follow her mother's footsteps by becoming a medical researcher, specifically an epidemiologist once the girl was old enough to remember how to spell the term, whereas her brother, owen, intended on pursuing a career in aeronautics, designing fighter jets for the government. in retrospect, julie's childhood was essentially leave it to beaver, except with more trips to museums and high tech scientific labs in atlanta's cdc.

however, even though owen and julie were too young to understand at the time, these sickeningly 1950s scenarios of upper-middle class posterity were an illusion; the world around them was in ruins thanks to corporations like bl/ind, which swiftly took over government and medical labs, such as the one dr. smith-rache worked, and began changing everything. bl/ind claimed these radical changes were for the best, especially after what happened to cause the zones, but the raches weren't so certain. after the takeover of the cdc, they moved west to seattle, dad's birthplace.

there, julie dabbled in rebellion thanks to the sudden relocation, but grew bored of the lifestyle, preferring time spent with good friends and good times. life settled for the most part, even though her parents grew more stressed with each passing news bulletin and brand new drug placed on the market. julie paid little notice. she graduated from school. she enrolled in university. she had her whole life ahead of her.

just before her senior year, her father was taken. no word. her mother refused to explain why -- julie knew that her mother understood why he was apprehended. julie graduated from college, but shortly after receiving her degree, the family went into hiding. her mother, still hesitant to explain, had contacts throughout the west coast as they spent most of their time anxiously sleeping during the daylight hours, jerking awake at the slightest noise, and hiding in the back of trunks, vans, trains, and cargo during the night to reach their next location to an undefined safe haven.

this process lasted three months before owen and her mother were taken.

julie had been out for a quick bread run with one of the family friends; the trip took a grand total of fifteen minutes, but when they returned, it was as if dr. adrienne smith-rache and owen rache had never lived in that dingy apartment at all.

shortly thereafter, julie left. she didn't know the names of any "safe persons," nor did she even know where to go in order to BE safe, if that word had any meaning left in this terrible society anymore. alone, angry and bitter, julie found herself thrown into the killjoy lifestyle by pure accident; during one of the killjoy raids, julie found herself bound by the medical code of ethics when a rebel was injured. since their group hadn't a medical professional, julie was "taken" along with them.

long story short, and ignoring all the stockholm syndrome indicators, julie took on the title "doctor july ruin" in order to fit in and become anonymous to bl/ind and its goons. she cut off her hair, dyed it the most obnoxious color she could find, and put on a show for her fellow killjoys. that's all being a killjoy is to her, anyway, just a show, a dual personality used to deal with these trying times. julie rache can come back at any time... right?

currently unattached to any organization, julie wanders from killjoy group to killjoy group, looking for one with enough resources, power and information in order to find out what truly happened to her family and why.

i said ashes to ashes we all fall down
