Background:Birthplace: Denver, Colorado
Family: Tyler Philips (father): Tyler is Orlando's father, and the epitamy of macho man. He always pushed Orlando to play sports all of his life, because he was a professional football player back in the day. Tyler is a very handsome man in his late 40's. He has short brown hair and stern brown eyes. He has a deep voice, and a rather intimidating personality.
Anya Philips (mother): Anya is Orlando's mother, and a lovely long haired blond beauty. Anya is the type of women who wants her children to be cultured, and she always loves to the the hostess of a party. Anya is the one who decided on the name Orlando for her son, a name which Tyler despised. Anya has long blond hair, blue eyes, and delicate features. She loves her husband, but they are very bad at showing it.
Zoe Philips (sister): Zoe is Orlando's sister, and the least liked of the two children. Zoe is a "hippie", as Orlando likes to call her. She is 18 years old, and is aspiring to be a singer. She has long brown dreads, piercing blue eyes, and loves nature. Orlando and Zoe don't see eye to eye to anything. He sort of ignores the fact that she is his sister, and would deny her in public.
History: Tyler and Anya met when they were in high school. The classic "quarterback and head cheerleader" relationship. Although it was expected of them, they actually were rather attracted to each other, and grew to love the match. After high school, Tyler played college ball, and Anya took classes to become a dance instructor.
Their first child Orlando was quite a surprise. Anya had no idea she was pregnant for three months, and knew she was going to have to keep the child. Orlando was a handsome baby, and despite Tyler's protests, Anya named him Orlando. Poor boy.
Tyler wanted Orlando to of course, play sports. Though he was busy with his football career, he always made time to play with his son. He wanted his son to be a champion. Anya on the other hand, wanted Orlando to be a cultured gentleman. From the age of 3, she made him take piano lessons.
When Orlando was 3 years old, is younger sister was born. He hated the fact Zoe got attention, so he would do anything to get the attention turned on him.
As Orlando grew, he excelled in sports, especially baseball. Although Tyler pushed football, Orlando stuck with baseball and his father finally accepted it. Besides being a bit of an egotisical child, Orlando was pretty good.
Until high school that is. Being the star of the baseball team got to Orlando's head. He started partying at the age of 15, and his grades dropped.
Home life wasn't so great either. Orlando and Zoe despised each other, and their parents usually ignored them unless they acted out. Baseball was Orlando's life, and he made no plans of going to college. During his senior year, scouts showed up at some of his games. He was offered many positions on different teams, and settled with the best offer with a team in Philadelphia.
He played two successful years on the same team, and before the beginning of the third season, he injured his shoulder. Because he couldn't play, he moped. His coach told him he should take as much time off as possible.
He went with his team for the first few games of the season, but couldn't stand being around them and not being able to play. He asked his coach if it was all right to take a vacation, and the place he decided to go was, of course Vegas.
