B A S I C S

Name - Matthew Yoo
Korean Name (His parents prefer to call him by this) - Yoo Yong Chul
Age - Twenty-two
Gender - Male
Sexuality - Bisexual
Preferred Pairing - Any
Theme - Dream In A Dream by Ten

A P P E A R A N C E

Matthew is tall and lean, standing at 185 cm and weighing 136 lbs. He's a little bit underweight, but it really doesn't seem to bother him... or maybe that's beside he doesn't know he is. He has black hair that ends around the middle of his cheekbones paired with dark brown eyes. It's been said that he resembles his mother more than his father. His skin is on the paler side, but he still has a slight tan. Along his body, he has a few various scars scattered across it, mainly all caused by his little adventures as a young child. Other than that, his skin seems clear besides the occasional freckle.

With his choice of clothing, he prefers to keep up with latest fashion trends (that aren't completely insane ). He prefers to dress casual unless the situation calls otherwise. One thing you'll never see him wearing is sandals... He absolutely hates them.

P E R S O N A

Matthew looks the type to be introverted when he in reality he's very outgoing. It doesn't take him long to start up a conversation unless the person is boring. He loves making friends, and finding he has common interests with others. Ever since he was young he's had this trait. It caused him to gain populairty throughout his time during school.

He's rather over dramatic. He make a small problem into a big one in a matter of seconds. You didn't like the picture he tagged you in? He automatically thinks you hate him even if you didn't see it. He ends up feeling dumb when he realizes he's wrong... Sure it can be funny, but it can often break relationships apart.

(kind of messy TT)

B I O G R A P H Y

Matthew's parents tended to be on the stricter side when parenting. Matthew always believed it was because their parents were too flexible and easy going, resulting in them doing stupid things.

During school, Matthew tried his hardest until the end of freshman year. He began to give up and his math grades really showed it. This was a pattern for him. Do good at the beginning and middle of the year, and do bad towards the end. This somewhat angered his parents, so the set times for when Matthew would study and when he'd do his homework.

Once out of school, he instantly moved into his friend's apartment and the reckless stage began. His parents noticed this streak and decided to do something about it.

He's never been completely against the idea of an arranged marriage, but he never wanted it for himself. So when his parents came to him saying they set up an arranged marriage for him because they were worried he'd never settle down on his own, he was hurt. But he still agreed to do so because of his parents.

Family -
Mother - (51 years old) Matthew is closer to her than his father. She was the one who proposed the idea of an arranged marriage.

Father - (53 years old) Is a heart surgeon. Tries to be close with his sons but just fails.

Brother - (14 years old) He'sextremely loud and energtic. You can tell he's Matthew's younger brother. Him and Matthew are basically best friends.

[CharlieJacz]

BASICS
Name: Charles Evergreen Dinero
Nickname: Charlie, Ever, Cal
Sex: Male
Age: 21
Sexuality: Pan
Preferred Pairing: Any

PERSONAL DETAILS
Appearance: Charlie is slight in his build, a thin 135lbs at 5'11. He's short for a supermodel and has a more androgynous appearance than many of his male peers. Naturally tan and freckled, Charlie's freckles go down across his shoulders, upper chest, and along his arms. He has no body hair, tattoos, piercings or scars besides one on his right arm where he broke his arm as a teen. His hair is long enough to pull most into a small bun or tail, but not long enough to brush his shoulders. If he doesn't do anything to it or put product in it, it gets very unmanageable very quickly.

Personality: Raised with a camera in his face at all times, Charlie has an easy smile and an outwardly friendly personality that the media sees. To most people's knowledge, the model Charles "Ever" Dinero is a happy, smiling face for the Dinero brand. Pleasant durning interviews and able to act with the best of them, Charlie keeps his persona of Ever happy and drama free for the public. When there isn't a camera or journalist around Charlie is much more subdued, almost to the point of appearing depressed. He takes compliments easily enough but doesn't believe them due to his family always talking down to him. When asked for his own opinion about something Charlie filters what he says, always expecting someone to report back to his parents or older siblings. He is quietly passionate about what he likes, tamps down any signs of intelligence or creativity of his own, and avoids conflicts like the plague. He's very passive, but is trying to assert himself more in life.

History: Charles Dinero. Second son and third child born to the fashion icons Mark and Julia Dinero. Dinero is the name of a fashion empire, put simply, and Charlie was the child that didn't have a purpose besides look cute. His brother was raised to manage the financials and learn the business of fashion, set to take over their mother's role as CEO. His sister was put through design school to take over their father's part of the business. And Charlie? He was a model from day zero. His face could be recognized by most Americans who read any magazines by the time he was nine. Across the internet by fifteen. The Dinero brand put out high end clothing for every age and gender, and Charlie modeled it all.

With the high life came high stakes though. When he was seventeen and vanished for six months, the fashion world took notice. It was never released public, but Charlie had rolled a car he was driving, high on ecstasy and cocaine. He was the only one hurt in the accident, breaking his radius and ulna bad enough to break through the skin. His parents paid a lot of money to keep everything out of the papers and send Charlie through rehab. Once he got out and his parents deemed him acceptable for public viewing, he went back to modeling though notably avoided any raves or after parties like that. When it became clear Charlie wasn't going to do anything for their business other than model, his parents arranged for him to be married in a way that would benefit the company name.

Family:
-Mark Dinero, 62, father, ignores Charlie's very existence now that the marriage is arranged.
-Julia Dinero, 54, mother, manages a lot of Charlie's publicity and has lunches with him every so often where the paparazzi can see.
-Luca Dinero, 31, brother, cold to Charlie and talks down to him.
-Rebecca Dinero-Hensly, 29, sister, civil and respects Charlie on a purely professional level.
-Amelia Dinero-Hensly, 4, niece, loves to be babysat by her "Uncle Ever"

Relationships: TBA

EXTRAS
Other:
-Ever is the name he uses when modeling, and doesn't really like anyone calling him that when he's not modeling. Besides his niece Amelia.
-When Charlie was put in rehab, he had been addicted to cocaine, alcohol, and opiates. After he got clean and sober, Charlie started attending a once a month NA group. He keeps his sobriety chip on him at all times.
-Fell off the wagon when he found out he was being forced to marry, and struggled on his own to get sober again. Recently got his three month chip again.
-Sketches and reads in his free time, keeping the notebooks and books in a bag. Either a backpack, satchel, messenger bag, or whatever the latest trend is.

Arianna Jamison​

PERSONAL DETAILS
Appearance: Arianna is a tad on the pale side, but not deathly so. She tans during the summer months, but the tan never lasts as long as she'd like. She's got many piercings: mostly on her ears, although also her septum (pictured) that her family, especially her parents, hate. She also has her belly button pierced. She has a music-related tattoo on her left hip.

Personality: If you can't tell by her hair and many piercings, Arianna loves making a statement. When she was a child, she was sweet, innocent and naive. But that all went to hell when Rayna disappeared, and her parents plans came to light. That was around when Arianna was nineteen; old enough to do things on her own. She dyed her hair, stuck needles in her body and even got a tattoo. She managed to keep the latter hidden for a while, but eventually, was found out. She wasn't sorry when her parents found out, nor did she listen to their requests-turned-demands for her to remove the body jewelry. She doesn't care what her soon to be husband or others think about her. She's brave and very honest, although her pride seems to be her downfall. Though she used to depend on her parents for everything, now she wants to be able to do things on her own. She refuses to ask for help.

History: Arianna is the second born in the Jamison family. Her older sister was supposed to be the one set up in an arranged marriage, but she found out before they could complete the plans, and ran off to get hitched with her then boyfriend, now husband. Arianna has no idea where her sister and husband live, as they don't call, and they don't visit. Rayna never even thought to say anything to Arianna about the marriage thing, so by the time Arianna found out, the plans were set in motion. The only way out was for Ari to follow in her sister's footsteps, but she had no where to go, and no one to go with. She's stuck with the man her parents want her to marry, all to finance their business.

Family: Henry Jamison, age 58, father. Tessa Jamison, age 52, mother. Rayna Jamison, age 28, elder sister.

Relationships: (how you know/interact with other characters in the RP; relationship with everyone is not necessary) TBA

EXTRAS
Theme Song: TBD
Other: Ari loves jewelry, especially long earrings, and takes pride in her hair.

[DeerPrince]

B A S I C S

❀Name: Rayana Mabry

❀Nickname: Ana,

❀Sex: Female

❀Age: Twenty

❀Sexuality: Heterosexual

❀Preferred Pairing: Male [MxF]

P E R S O N A L D E T A I L S

❀Appearance: Coming up to an average height of five foot seven, Rayana stands slightly above the average height, though it is not particularly uncommon, considering her whole family is on the taller side. The young woman's features are reminiscent to a delicate porcelain doll's. With the majority of her height being made up of her slender legs, her torso is on the shorter side in comparison to her willowy limbs. Growing up, it took quite a few years for the female to grow into her frame, going through a phase where she moved awkwardly and with the grace of a newborn deer. However, as the years have gone by, she has filled in slightly more, though her figure is hardly feminine. Equipped with perhaps a few curves around her svelte waist, and a pair of things that vaguely resemble breasts that sprouts up more insecurities about her body than the young woman would care to admit. Pale in complexion, it is a hue of someone who is obviously unused to going outside, and matched with her thin, soft, and smooth hands, or working hard with her body.

Through her Kazakh and Pakistani descent from her mother's sides, Ana's features are much more different from her Caucasian father's. Her nose is slightly on the thicker side, though it is straight, ending in a slight round bulb that the young woman hates. Thick and dark eyebrows line her warm, hazel toned cesspools, often moving up or down or furrowing against her smooth forehead at her slightest mood changes. Her eyes are large and doe-like, similar to her mother's, and can be accentuated through black eyeliners and eyeshadows, especially gold toned ones. The young woman's lips are medium sized but full, more often than not, quirked up in a smile with those she is close with. Gifted with a heart shaped face, her chin is tapered sharply, her cheeks softening her otherwise slightly harsher features. Dark ebony colored locks cascade down her back, further serving to contrast the darkness of her features with the paleness of her skin.

❀Personality: Perhaps the most headstrong out of her whole family, Rayana's personality can be hard to handle at times. Once she has decided to accomplish something and her mind is set on the task, there is no deterring her, which can be a good thing at times, and others, not so much. As can be inferred, the female is very persistent and resilient when it comes to the opinions of others, but at times, she can decide to pursue a goal that is futile or not necessarily the most healthy, if that makes much sense. Because she cannot listen to the opinions of others and take in their advice, it can cause her to go down many twisted paths and commit the same mistakes that her parents did, further hindering her other goals and such.

Reserved and soft-spoken upon first encounter, it does take a little while for the young woman to warm up to any given person, if she ever does, but once she deems you worthy of being a friend, she can be extremely outgoing and loud. But as the previous statement implies, Rayana can be extremely arrogant when it comes to others, which can only be a given considering her birth and lavish upbringing. However, the young woman is aware of this fault, and while she has started taking steps to improve upon it, it is still a long process. More often than not, Ana will judge you and fabricate an opinion of you before she has even spoken to you, and from that, she will decide whether or not you are worthy of her time or not.

Highly ambitious and goal driven, Rayana is like a thirsty sponge when it comes to learning. Like a thirsty sponge, she is able to soak up new information quickly and with the a rabid sort of thirst that is insatiable. Even from an early age, her parents took note of her innate curiosity, but this enthusiasm is only geared towards specific subjects such as sciences, music, maths, and literature. With subjects she hates, which would include foreign languages, geography, and history, she hardly puts in any effort and will often try and escape her lessons. Exceedingly opinionated, Rayana cannot resist a good argument that is debatable and supported with evidence on both sides, however, there is nothing more than a ranted sort of thing that is unfounded, and it's easy to lose her respect in that manner.

Socially awkward, even with those who know her the most, and a giftedly bad small talk conversationalist, it is as if she is physically inept at those skills. No matter how hard she tries, the young woman can never maintain a polite, small talk conversation, and will usually only speak when approached by someone unfamiliar. As if she were a goddess, any social outing that she graces is often times saturated with awkwardness by her simple presence, no matter how much she tries to hide it. it is obvious she is uncomfortable and unsure of what to do.

❀History: Born into a wealthy family, Rayana was not only the baby of the family, but also the only girl out of three children, which naturally gave her the perfect opportunity to be spoiled. Often times, when she was younger, if she wanted something she was given it, but in terms of attention, that was mostly given to her older brothers since they were more involved with sports and school. For the most part, Rayana had books for company, which the young girl didn't mind. She preferred staying home or in the library, head glued to a book, using the fictional stories to mitigate her monotonous daily life.

Growing up, Rayana didn't have much to worry about, and her parents took care of everything else. While she was spoiled, her parents still expected her to be high achieving and follow everything they designated for her. During her childhood, there wasn't much freedom to explore and experiment with her own interests and hobbies, but only enough freedom to follow a strict schedule laid out by her mother. Everything was to be followed to a t, and there was always punishments if any rule was broken. Even with helicopter parents, she had a mostly happy upbringing. Many families around her also had the same style of upbringing, and in her neighborhood, it wasn't particularly uncommon. However as Rayana has grown older, the rift of resentment and estrangement has grown between her and especially her mother. All throughout her childhood, her father wasn't particularly present, since he was tending to his successful business.

Now that she is in the last year of university, courtesy of her parents re-arranging strings to help her graduate the moment she completed all of her required credits, she is most likely expected to take over the business along with her brothers. She is set to graduate this summer with a bachelor's degree in business and communications, a major decided for her by her mother.

❀Family: William Mabry | 67 | Father | Mostly distant within Rayana's life
Amina Mabry | 62 | Mother | Slightly estranged relationship, a helicopter and controlling parent
Alen Mabry | 32 | Oldest Brother | Her favorite brother, was the one there for her most of her life, especially when she was growing up. He played the father figure in her life.
Serik Mabry| 28 | Second Brother | Least close, interests and personalities don't quite mess together. Serik is more interested in girls, drinking, gambling, and drugs than anything else.
Erzhan Mabry | 25 | Youngest Brother | Closest with, considering their age difference. Rayana played with him and Alan the most, and they were the ones that spent the most time exploring outside and getting into mischief together, especially when they were younger.

B A S I C S

❀Name: Vincent Keller

❀Nickname: Vince, Vivi (reserved for his little sister only)

❀Sex: Male

❀Age [18-30]: Twenty-four

❀Sexuality: Heterosexual

❀Preferred Pairing: Female (MxF)

P E R S O N A L D E T A I L S

❀Appearance: As to be expected, Vincent is pleasant on the eye. Nothing about him is exceptionally good looking, but pieced together, his features are medley of both his mother and father.Reaching an average five foot eleven, Vince is slightly on the stockier side. Trim and lightly muscular, he isn't slender like the usual model physique one would expect him to have since his mother is a world renowned super model, but he still weighs in at one hundred eighty pounds. More leg than torso in his build, the young man's shoulders are on the slimmer side, which means he can cut quite the dashing figure in a suit or tuxedo.

His face is built on the stronger side, each feature chiseled onto his face. The overall shape of his face is on the slightly squarer side with a sharp jawline that could perhaps cut cheese. Just maybe, if you used a little more imagination. A sturdy nose perches between his dark eyebrows, thought there is a slight bump on it from when he broke it as a little kid. Vince's almond shaped dark viridescent eyes are the window to his soul, and are the first to express whatever he's feeling.

Dark, almost jet black hair grows in slight waves, and for the most part, the young man either leaves it like that or he styles the front of it with a little gel to make it appear a little neater. But his dark hair serves as a stark contrast to his skin, especially in the winter when he loses his tan. However, his unique makeup of features gives him a more elegant sort of refined look as opposed to the usual sporty jock look.

❀Personality: On the outside, Vince is charismatic and smooth. Outgoing, funny, bright, and honest all fall into the category many would use to describe him at first encounter. And it's true. The young man, like so many others in his position, works hard to maintain this sort of facade. It is a small crack in the window; where he can direct people to only see what he wishes them to see, and that would be his "perfect" side. The side that is put together and makes no mistakes and remains calm in the face of adversity and hysteria.

However, on the inside, a side that rarely anyone gets to see, is far from what the young man likes to project into the media. Instead of having that constant, ready to go, flashy white smile that is enough to lie for the cameras, he's quieter, reserved, and mostly sticks to himself. Vince cares the most about his little sister, and when their whole family isn't acting like a perfect, happy go lucky sort of unit, the pressure for Vince to take over the family business is overwhelming. Especially when he doesn't have much of an interest in fashion.

A bright individual, Vince does enjoy learning and experiencing new things, but the young man can get stressed out and overwhelmed easily and would prefer a simpler life away from the city. However, he's too timid to admit any of this, and too sensitive and nervous of hurting someone else's feelings, so he keeps them bottled up inside of him and continues to take on more than he can handle and more of what he despises just to try and keep others happy. For him, it is simply living through an apparition. Something that isn't him, and it leaves him feeling empty inside. This isn't someone he is, and rather, Vince is just living through other people. Letting other people dictate his life, but at the same time, despite how aware he is of his current situation, isn't sure of what to do. Instead of being the strong, big older brother his little sister perceives him to be, Vincent is nothing more than a young boy who needs more guidance than he cares to admit, and more time to reflect on who he is.

❀History: Born into a wealthy family and to a supermodel mother and a CEO business leader father, the young man never had a particularly normal childhood. Rather, he was expected to be perfect and the perfect image that his mother had crafted for him. All throughout his childhood, Vince cannot recall a single moment he had to himself and to just do something he enjoyed. It was always what his mother wanted for him. All throughout his life, the young man just had to follow through with the steps that his mother laid out for him, and instead, he was ushered between classes and extracurriculars that didn't interest him, but made his mother happy momentarily, and that was all he wanted.

Before his sister was born, life was lonely as the only child. His father was constantly away on business trips, usually in different countries, leaving him alone with his mother, but she was always a distant figure. Because of his mother's high expectations, she was never satisfied with her son, and constantly nagged him and yelled at him to try harder, leading the young Vince to avoid her, spending most of his time alone in his room either with his books or with his studies.

When he turned fourteen, his younger sister was born, and for a moment, his life was brightened. Rosie was the first person the young man ever felt unconditional love for, and for her, he was her knight in shining armor. He was the one that kissed her skimmed knees, and he was the one who pushed her on the swings at the parks, and he was the one she cried for in the middle of the night when she had a nightmare. For the first time, Vince had someone to stick with and someone to protect, and it made life a little less lonely. However, it also tightened his burdens, because he had an image to uphold for the sake of his little sister, and he doesn't want her to struggle like he had to. But because of that, Vince has had more than a handful of nervous breakdowns and depressive episodes that he has had to keep locked away from the media and his family, for his parents simply think the raven haired boy is being melodramatic and tell him to just suck it up and to keep going.

❀Family: Reed Keller | 52 | Father | Distant relationship. Mostly away on business trips.
Katie Keller | 48 |Mother | Not the first one he would approach for his issues, and for the most part, tries to stay far away from her and avoid unnecessary interaction.
Rose Keller | 10 | Little Sister | Needless to say, she is his little ray of sunshine.

Carl Brady ​

BASICS

Name: Carl Brady

Sex: Male

Age 20

Sexuality: Bisexual

Preferred Pairing: Any

PERSONAL DETAILS

Appearance: Carl has longer than average light brown hair and light grey eyes. He has dimpled cheeks when and if he ever smiles. He stands about 5' 8" and weighs around 150 lbs. He has a lanky figure and isn't very muscular. His hands are fairly rough and he has a scar across his right palm from falling into broken glass as a child. His skin gets tanner in the summer, but he's usually pretty pale. He never seems to take care of his opinion, which shocks the public. Everyone criticizes his appearance from his clothes to his haircut, or lack thereof.

Personality: Carl is very withdrawn from his peers and tends to keep to himself. He never really gets along with other people and especially not the crowd he grew up with. He tends to be sarcastic and snap at people when he does talk, but most of the time he doesn't talk at all. He likes to people watch and would much rather listen than talk. From years of listening to people, he's gotten pretty good at talking people through problems. If he wants to help, he is very good at it, but he finds it easier to keep to himself. He is really good with plants and very smart when it comes to any kind of botany. He wants to be a botanist, but he's never told anyone because he figured that would be such a low paying job for the high class family he came from.

History: Carl's parents split up when he was five years old and his mother moved across the country so he couldn't see his father again for years. He grew up in a private school, since his mother was a best selling author and psychologist. She did a lot of book signings and made him tag along on all of her tours through his childhood and as he went into his rebellious teen years, people started to doubt his mother's methods, as they weren't working on her own kid. He always had teachers telling him to cut his hair and keep his appearance clean. Other authors were always discussing "April's miscreant son," and Carl eventually got sick of it and calmed down, becoming more quiet and reserved. Though his mother wasn't very popular, it seemed like a lot of people were always asking if he was the real Carl Brady. His mother decided to arrange a marriage after finding that his son had no interest in other people or dating and she was worried that her son wouldn't fit the cookie cutter role of the perfect son.

Family:

April Brady, 48. April is Carl's mother who is always getting on him for something they never were and never will be close.

Cortez Villanueva​

BASICS​

Name: Cortez Diego Villanueva

Nickname: While he tends to go by his whole name, the casual 'Tez' is common. Sometimes his mother will call him 'Chuchu' as a petname and, after using it as a tease, it stuck among some of his friends. Originally, he didn't like it, but he's been called it so much until he just sort of shrugs it off when it comes to his friends. From his mother, he just took it as the term of endearment it was. It has a meaning in Portuguese, but not in the Spanish-speaking Cuba.

Age: 24

Sex: Male

Sexuality: Panromantic Pansexual

Spoiler

He's out of the closet publicly, but doesn't necessarily parade his orientation. It is what it is. Meanwhile, he is closeted to his family with only his sister knowing his orientation. Being that Cubans are very open with their sexuality, he has flirted with many and casually dated many, but hasn't truly held any serious relationships. He has been in a few heated sessions with females and males (probably females more as his attraction leans more toward femininity).

Preferred Pairing: Female [for family reasons]

PERSONAL DETAILS​

Appearance:
Cortez stands at 5’7” [~170 cm]. He has an olive complexion that sometimes runs a shade or two darker. His build is fit and lean with general muscle. His slightly wavy hair is a charcoal brown and kept at medium length. His almond-shaped eyes are dark brown with thin lashes and thick brows. He has a medium-sized nose and full pink lips. He is known for his intense expressions. He has a mole diagonal between his lip and nose to the left of his face. His ears are pierced with small gauges, typically black or wooden, but he changes it up every once in a while. His clothing tends to be in more casual or urban styles, and typically prepared for warm climates.

Personality:
► open-minded ► fun-loving ► optimistic ► prepared/organized ► punctual || shy ◄ sometimes delusional ◄ sometimes over-emotional ◄ rebellious ◄ no shame ◄

Cortez is very open-minded and fun-loving. He may have a bit of a shy streak at first, but usually loves to meet people and will open up as he warms up to you. He tries to live with a very optimistic attitude, although sometimes this gets him into trouble with accepting the reality of things that just won't get better. He can be very emotionally expressive which definitely helps in his love of art. When given a task to fulfill or put in an important situation, he is quick to shape up and get serious. He's strict on punctuality and completing things to just the degree he's satisfied with (somewhat of a perfectionist). Though shy, he enjoys unabashedly flirting with those he finds attractive.

He keeps his area fairly neat and organized. He likes for things to have their place. The only time his area may look unorganized is when he's working on something and has all of his plans in various tablets spanned out on the floor so that he has quick, easy access for reference. None of them are labeled - just colored differently so that he knows what ideas are in which. A corner of his room stays covered in plastic that's dedicated to painting. Though, when he's working on large paint projects, he'll take his things to a studio. On occasion, he writes - poetry or short stories. It really just depends on how much he needs to vent and express himself. The whole journal thing just never really worked for him; too basic. When he was in Cuba, his favorite hobby next to painting was surfing. So, he visits the beach when he can, but is usually too busy.

He hasn't truly held any serious relationships. The closest thing to a serious relationship he has probably had was with a girl named Evita, but he 'freaked out over his feelings' and cut ties.

History:
Cortez was born to a Cuban/Brazilian mother and a Filipino father who met in the U.S. Contrary to his mother who grew up in Brazil, he spent most of his life growing up in Cuba, the birthplace of his grandfather. While pregnant, his mother had moved to Cuba where his ill grandfather was being taken care of until his passing. A few months later, he was born.

He hasn't traveled to many places in his life, only visiting the Philippines to see his father's relatives. He has been to the U.S. very few times, mostly only seeing his Brazilian grandmother when she visits from there, as well as his uncle. (Apparently, his uncle had been around in Cuba for a short while to help take care of Cortez after his grandfather passed, but then moved back to the U.S. soon after. His mother chose to stay and, despite protest, his father wasn't going to leave her side, especially not with a new baby.)

None of his languages were necessarily picked up voluntarily. Being raised in Cuba meant that knowing Spanish would be a given, and almost certainly English would follow (not to mention both of his parents speak it anyway). Being of mixed heritage meant that he had even more exposure to language and culture. His mother spoke her language, Portuguese, to him as a baby, so he automatically picked up. Meanwhile, his father would speak Tagalog and later taught him Bisaya so that he could interact easily with all his Filipino family.

While Cuba has never been known as the best place to live, Cortez never really had a troubled life. Or, at least, he never knew it was troubled. He was more than likely 'used to' any of the 'bad things'. He never focused on whether he was rich or poor, but has probably lived fairly middle class. Tips passed down to him from his mother from his grandfather taught him how to keep safe in the streets and what to do during certain emergencies. Although, he has been raised with a far more 'open' and a progressive Cuba than any generation has possibly known before. Living in Cuba has attributed to his quick response in urgent situations and made him more street savvy.

Family:
Mother | Yucca Angel (48) - Nurse | If you couldn't tell already, Cortez is mommy's baby, her Chuchu. He has nearly got her wrapped around his finger, but he has to admit that if he had to choose, mom has always been his favorite parent. While she has always been supportive and comforting, she's still his mother, and his need to please her, or, at least, not outwardly disappoint, keeps him from letting her into every aspect of his life. She knows a lot of what's in his head, but she's still a safe distance away from the deepest things. She's still an authoritative figure when she needs to be.

Father | Crisanto Villanueva (52) - Firefighter | His father is the primary authority figure in his life and also the one who has had the highest expectations of him... Y'know, the really parenty-parent. His father's available enough that he can talk to him about some things, but it's tiptoeing if he wants to avoid a lecture. Their family's probably stereotypical in that he and his sister flock to the parent of the opposite sex - his sister being more of a daddy's girl and probably definitely his favorite. It doesn't bother Cortez, though. His father still does the typical dad things - spending one-on-one time with him, passing down good ol' wisdom, teaching him how to do certain things, and so on.

Sister | Angeli Villanueva (27) - Nurse & Activist | Although the family's generally close, Cortez and Angeli are the closest. He's able to go to her with any of his problems and she guards some of his deepest secrets. Of the family, she's the only one who knows about his orientation. However, the greatest strength of their relationship is also the greatest weakness as his sister's protective nature - especially toward him - sometimes becomes smothering, almost to the extent of having a second mother. This can cause him to withdraw from her.

Uncle | Sid Angel (50) - Freelancer | Cortez and his sister lived with him during their high school and college years. He took the time to check up on him from time to time since his mother and father couldn't be there and even bring him things he needed, or just take him away for a while for family time. They have a neutral relationship - sometimes being very friendly with each other and distant other times.

ABOUT ENGAGEMENT​

Fiancée: Arianna Jamison

How long you've known you were arranged: 1 month

When is your wedding: 5 months

How your family knows your spouse-to-be: Cortez's mother dated Arianna's father when they were younger and the two kept in touch. Since the Jamisons' business took off, her father used it as an opportunity to keep lasting ties with his ex as well as set his daughter up with someone who would keep her image clean and looking good. So, her father paid his mother a dowry of sorts, and the arrangement was set.

What your relationship like with this person: The two are strangers and are yet to meet, so he has no real opinion of her yet.

An Vinh Phan​

BASICS

Name: An Vinh Phan

Nickname: Vinh [usually only by friends]

Sex: Female

Age: 26

Sexuality: Biromantic Bisexual

Preferred Pairing: Any (although her parents would choose male)



PERSONAL DETAILS​

Appearance:
Vinh stands at 5'6" [~168 cm]. Her complexion is a faint brown tint only a shade or two away from pale. Her build is average with very slight curves, her shape nearly straight. Her straight chocolate hair is long and thick. Her oval eyes are dark brown with thin brows and thin eyelashes. She typically wears little to no makeup. She has a medium nose and medium-sized plush pink lips. Both of her ears are pierced and she's contemplating a nose stud.
In presentation, she enjoys wearing anything that fits her mood. However, her clothes tend to be more casual and gender neutral.

Personality:
An Vinh is a tomboy in most regards, from her clothing to her interests. She's very laid back and generally friendly with everyone, although some may find her hard to approach. She isn't a person whose had many friends, but rather few close ones. While she always had a harder time relating to female peers, she does have female friends - her best friend being one. Once you get to know her, she is someone who is easy to confide in due to her calm and caring nature. It doesn't take a lot to entertain/make her happy, so she's generally a good time. However, if something displeases her, she will speak up. Her greatest fault also has the possibility to double as a strength. She's very determined and knows practically no boundaries. This means she has the will to achieve and reach for the things she wants, but may also be manipulative and cross lines to do so.
Likes: orange, cooking, skateboarding, videogames, hiking & camping, fruit
Dislikes: judgment/discrimination, very 'girly' girls, cocky people, cold places, sitting for long periods of time

History:
An Vinh was born to two Vietnamese American parents, her father - Quyền Bảo "Brian" Phan - being first generation and her mother - Lydia Ng - second. She grew up in a devout Catholic household and actually met her best friend, Celeste, in church -- who was also the one to coin her with the nickname 'Vinh'. They grew up together and at some point during high school, they became 'best friends with benefits' when Vinh began exploring her sexuality. Fast forwarding past some drama from her junior year onward, she left home at 19 to live in Vietnam for a year and a half, then moved back to America. She's unsure if it will be her permanent home, but she's here for now. Life is a journey and she's steadily figuring hers out. Meanwhile, she always keeps in touch with Celeste.

Family:
Father | Quyền Bảo "Brian" Phan (49) - Professor
Mother | Lydia Ng (51) - Business woman
An Vinh has a generally distant relationship with both of her parents and they serve primarily as authoritative figures in her life. She loves them, but they often don't see eye-to-eye; she has this problem more with her father than her mother. Despite everything - including the ways she's 'disappointed' them with her 'rebellion', they still love her, and that's something that they remind her of periodically just because they've been so strict and set such igh standards.

[Cosmosis]

​

​

*Nickname: Peaches, Pinkie (Bullies use this as can anyone close to her) Mannequin (Bullies use this too as well as some passerbys) Sweet-Peach
Sex: Female
Age: 18
Sexuality: Bisexual
Preferred Pairing: Male (I can do female too however)

PERSONAL DETAILS
Appearance: Peach has D sized breasts and stands at 5' 4" weighing 118lbs. Somehow, her hair was able to become a very light pink or better referred to as Pastel Pink.

Personality: Peach is a shy girl who doesn't interact very often with others. Those who knew her when she was little would say she's the same way now. Shy, caring, innocent and adorable. If you need to cry, she'll be there for you. If you need help, the girl will sure try to give the help you need but she'll be doubting her skills all the way till the end. It's how she's been. How she will be.

But she also won't express her own wants either. She will say she sucks and can't do things right but she won't say if she wants something. She was raised not to ask for anything for herself but rarely.

History: Peach has always talked at a permanent whisper volume since she was born and yelled at the volume of a normal speaking voice only raised slightly once. It was hard for her to get mad at someone too their face let alone act upon it.

As of recent, Peach has been sitting in her room, not moving very much, only to feed her kitten and to puke due to what she believes is a stomach bug. The pinkette has been all alone for around three and a half weeks, vanished off the map for a week less than her alone time. Her parents packed up everything and just... Left. No phone call, no note. Poof; gone. Looking around in their room, Peach found countless bills left unpaid for months, stacked on each other. All of their family pictures were gone. Only the solitary pictures of their daughter remained for anyone to see if they came inside.

Now as to why Peach hasn't left the house in two weeks and a half of another. She doesn't want to let others know the struggles she has on her own now without her parents. Due to the fear of running out of food for herself, she had went to go buy more and with no car, the girl had to walk.

On-top of her parents ghostly vanishing, she had been cornered and violated. It was her first time and the last time all in one. It's left her traumatized and unable to accept it really even happened, though, deep down she knows it did.

She didn't object when she had been raped. But she also didn't want it. Her shy nature had been her downfall that day. She's so scared to go outside now, preferring not to move and stay indoors. And from her 'stomach bug, she won't really eat.

Family: They left her alone so they won't be mentioned too much.

EXTRAS
She has a female Maincoon/Munchkin kitten named Mittens.
Her house is being taken by the bank soon, so she will be out on the streets after they take whatever she has left to pay for the house's owed bills.
Peach is also pregnant. (Whoever is my partner we will discuss with how many.)
