  appearance & personality

  
  APPEARANCE
  Anthea has long naturally straight blonde hair and wide, curious blue eyes and has a distinct beauty mark just below her left eye and a birthmark on her right wrist shaped like Italy. She is nearly always seen wearing bright red lipstick which compliments her pale complexion well.
  
  Anthea loves to dress in floaty pastel coloured tops, usually off-the shoulder, but she also loves to wear more form fitting clothing more often than not. She can usually be seen in crop tops when drumming because it is such arduous work to drum in anything that restricts movement and traps too much heat. Mallory isn't a fan of dresses unless she is going out somewhere, on which occasions she will nearly always be wearing black or hot pink in a form-fitting style and her hair in an elegant up-do.
  
  PERSONALITY
  Anthea appears to be a very outgoing, personable and straightforward person, who's not afraid to say what she thinks and thrives on the company of others far more than being on her own. In fact she cannot deal with being alone for long periods of time at all. She is the kind of person who is tactile with everyone and just loves seeing people happy. She can seem alarming to more reserved people, but to those who are used to her she is simply happy-go-lucky Thea with a fondness for tequila and flirting with just about anyone, guy or girl. Despite seeming to be a bit of a vapid airhead from a superficial perspective, Anthea is rather book-smart and has a strange obsession with Ancient Greek sculptures and philosophy. She isn't the type of person to share this with most though because she knows people aren't that interested.
  
  Although Anthea appears straightforward enough, she is incredibly hyper-sensitive to the way others view her and cannot take criticism of her character very well even if it was never meant as a personal slight. She can become very attached to people and is sometimes neurotic and possessive, especially of her elder sister Poppy, whom she adores. She has what would appear to be an irrational fear of being alone and tries to be around others as much as possible. She is also not very good at drinking responsibly when in a bad mood, turning to alcohol in times of great stress. Anthea is the ultimate tragic socialite and she quite likes it that way.
  

  biography

  
  

  

  
  BACKGROUND
  Comfortable luxury is all that Anthea Mistlethwaite has ever known. Her father Edward, a politician, Count of Rochester, and local Member of Parliament for their constituency in Rochester, and her mother Camilla, a proud housewife and retired actress of stage and screen, made sure to raise Anthea and her elder sister Poppy to the high standards expected of the wealthy one percent of the population.
  
  Anthea was born November 29, the year after her older sister Poppy. Her birth was received quite joyously and it was clear that the child was going to be a large personality. As a toddler she would love to play rough and tumble with her sister and loved to visit their grandfather Nelson, affectionately known as Papa by both the girls.
  
  Anthea was a very boisterous little girl with a flair for the dramatic. She would insist on staging plays in their large manor home for anyone who would watch, in which she was the lead and Poppy had to play a part. The girls both attended the prestigious St. Anne's School For Girls in their younger years and were model students, though the staff did note that Anthea had a flair for pulling pranks.
  
  By the time Anthea had turned ten, many things had changed for the family. Her parents had begun to grow distant for the past few months, and both Poppy and Anthea took the blame for this, believing it to be something they had done. In spite of this, Anthea maintained her optimistic outlook and began pouring herself into artistic pursuits such as taking up drumming and surrealist painting.
  
  Just before Anthea turned eleven, her grandfather Nelson passed away. Starting secondary school was a challenge for the girls due to their grandfather's passing, but due to the impeccable pastoral care at her new Private school in London, Thea managed to deal relatively well with being so far away from home with a school full of strangers. Thea was somewhat divisive at school. Some of the students adored her and she became their natural leader, others found her annoying and felt she did not mind her airs and graces as much as her older sister, which was true.
  
  The dysfunction of her family home began subtly seeping into life at Lovecraft School. Anthea began to care less about keeping up her grades and was more interested in maintaining a social media presence, flirting with boys and smuggling alcohol into her dorm with other girls. She managed not to get caught doing this either by her sister or the faculty. In the last years at St. Steven's she did calm down a little bit enough to do well in her final grades. Now she wishes to pursue an acting and music career, following in the footsteps of her mother's side of the family and the call of showbiz.
  
  Initially it was Anthea's idea to share an apartment with her closest circle from university and her boarding school days. This was mostly because she can't stand to live alone even for one day.

  WHAT SHE STUDIED AT UNI
  Anthea studied Classic Literature at university
  
  HOW SHE WOULD DECORATE HER APARTMENT BEDROOM
  Anthea would go for an aesthetically minimalist look with mostly clean white lines and pops of bright hot pink. There might be a vintage feel with a bright pink dialup telephone on her bedside table and a vinyl record player on her other bedside table. Surrealist paintings would certainly be a a fixture in the room and Van Gogh's Starry Night would be an absolute must. Of course there would also be more than enough room to place an electric drum kit in a corner for practice and her favourite photo of Michelangelo's King David along with a polaroid wall for photos of memories with friends and family (mostly sober ones). There would certainly also be a bookcase filled with a variety of books from Dickens and Chaucer to Bridget Jones and Crazy Rich Asians. Thea's not picky.

  FAMILY TIES
  On her father's side of the family, Anthea is a direct descendant of one of the founders of the esteemed Oxford University, one of the oldest universities in Europe. On her mother's side she is related to a few of the best actors Britain has produced. Her mother's side of the family is a nouveau riche acting dynasty The Faradays, whilst her father is of old money, meaning there are occasional value clashes amongst the pair. Her roommate William Faraday is also her cousin.

  AGE

  ROLE
  Upper class
  OCCUPATION
  Junior Researcher at the BBC
  

  appearance & personality

  
  APPEARANCE
  In contrast to his younger cousin Anthea, Will has dark hair and generally darker features. His eyes are a dark blue, so dark it is almost difficult to tell they are blue and he is not quite as pale as his cousin. Will is taller than average, standing at 6'1" and giving off a generally quiet and sullen presence in a room. He has very striking and noticeably handsome facial features and though he is not the type for strenuous workouts, he takes care of himself well enough to see that he is toned.
  
  Though he knows that upper class protocol demands that he dress up and make himself presentable most of the time, Will opts for discretion and will only wear black or navy at all times. Usually a button up shirt and dark jeans or trousers, and as every high society man knows, definitely no brown shoes in the city and perfectly straight laces.
  
  PERSONALITY
  William Faraday is understated. He highly dislikes attention and would prefer a quiet life away from any sort of spotlight. To most people he appears reclusive and cold, but he could not care less. Will would perceive this as a plus because it would mean less interactions with people who just want something from him or those who have nothing useful or meaningful to say.
  
  To those he knows well, he is a steady, loyal and witty friend, with an occasionally dark sense of humour. He has kept the same friendship group his entire life, and does not particularly like too much change. Will tends to be suspicious of people until they prove themselves to be worth the effort. This is not because he thinks himself superior, but its more so to preserve his emotional energy. In all honesty, he'd rather not make friends with too many people.
  
  Will is protective, especially of his little cousin Anthea. He is logical and cool in a crisis and likes time alone. However once you prod him a little, he can be joyful, playful and imaginative. He loves the idea of having 'normal' friends who are not wealthy or famous. He desperately wants to be 'normal' himself. This is genuinely impossible for him given his family being household names, but he makes the most of the anonymity he can get.
  

  biography

  
  

  

  
  BACKGROUND
  Wiliam Faraday the Second is the son of world renowned actor William Faraday and his ex-supermodel wife Natalia. The Faraday family are well known as an acting dynasty with actors spanning back to the early 1920s. He has four older brothers, Robin, Charlie, Calloway and Viscount all of which are successful actors in their own right. His aunt Camilla is also a retired actress of stage and screen so show business is all he has ever known.
  
  Much to the disappointment of his father, Will never wanted to join the family business. He despised how narcissistic his older siblings were and how they would bully him relentlessly when they were young. He hated that his father never discouraged it, and he hated that they were all carted off to boarding school from the age of five, never really getting to spend time with their parents.
  
  His time at school was not much better either. All his teachers expected him to take up drama as extra curricular and regularly compared him to his elder siblings. It was truly only his singular drive to keep his head down and get great grades and his few true friends that kept him sane during that time.
  
  It was during these years that he discovered his love of researching and journalism and decided he would pursue it just to spite his father, but mostly because he genuinely enjoyed journalism. He went on to study journalism at university and graduated with a first class honours degree. It was then when his favourite cousin Anthea asked if he would join her in the adventure of apartment sharing along with a few friends, some whom he knew and others he did not.
  
  Probably against his better judgment: he accepted.

  WHAT HE STUDIED AT UNI
  Will studied journalism at university
  
  HOW HE WOULD DECORATE HIS APARTMENT BEDROOM
  Will's room would be a rather plain and nondescript one. Not a lot of colour and not even much furniture. He would, however have a stack of Neil Gaiman comics hidden away under his bed and many old CDs of The Smiths neatly organised even though he would not have a CD player. They would only be there for sentimental value as Anthea bought them for him while they were teenagers and both going through their angsty phases. Will would be the type of person who wouldn't open the blinds unless forced to as he prefers a dark atmosphere. He would most certainly keep a chess set on display given to him by his grandmother.
  
  THEME SONG
  How Soon Is Now- The Smiths
  
  LIKES
  Quiet, chess, champagne, fine dining, Neil Gaiman comics and books, being incognito, hanging around with ordinary people, surfing the web
  
  DISLIKES
  Being recognised as a Faraday, his dad, gossip, boasting, people being too flashy with money, being told what to do, illogical arguments, movie premieres
  
  HOBBIES
  Playing chess, building PCs, sleeping, horse riding
  
  SEXUALITY
  Not really fussed either way, possibly prefers women
  
  FAMILY TIES
  On his father's side of the family, William is a member of the great British acting dynasty The Faraday family. His roommate Anthea Mistlethwaite is also his favourite cousin.

  VICES

  Clean-freak, fussy, tense, frigid, entitled, snooty, sabotaging, bossy, reckless, confrontational and jealous.
  

  
  
  
  

  IN DETAIL

  A Queen-Bee Capricorn; Lucille is baby-faced perfection to family, wise mother-hen to loyal followers, and sharp-toothed carnivore to night-club air. “Friends” are rivals, boyfriends aren’t off-limits, and drinking in the acrid smoke of tobacco is her favourite form of stress-relief.
  
  Wound tight like sutures, she’s prim and prissy in all the worst ways. Chronically tense and domineering, a taut smile of bared teeth and nothing welcoming. If feeling wronged in the slightest, vengeance is certain to ensue. The glacial scythe of her retaliation arrives like a hot knife, slipped between the soft butter of ribs when least expecting it. Raised in the cutthroat culture of competitive ballet, the concept of excess does not exist, and overstepping boundaries is just a necessity to survive.
  
  Yet underneath a nit-picky ice-queen exterior, there is warmth to her.
  
  Upon noticing a friend eyeing a product in a shop window, it’s only a matter of time before it shows up in their room, gift-wrapped, unlabelled, and Luci stubbornly oblivious to its origin. Tidying makeup and holding hair back after whipped cream vodka gets the best of their stomachs, the rational one to always convince people not to text an ex. Weakness for frosted donuts, shy in asking for advice or company, and a combative streak that bravely riles in defence for underdogs.
  
  But there’s a part of her, heavy with a bitter soft, marrow-deep sadness that disturbs her, that knows she is a woman, a failed ballerina, strained at the seams. Distracting from the abyss of absence that permeates like a sore cavity, she’ll do almost anything to avoid acknowledging that weaker side of herself.
  
  Try as Luci does to suffocate it, grief is beginning to bleed through and roughen silk into wool. Princess identity wavering, she’s often answering the call of nightlife, rundown bars and shifty acquaintances to try and settle that void— not that it works.
  

  
  
  
  

  LIKES

  Dior, menthol cigarettes, mascara, frosted donuts, modern art, lego sets, red wine, shopping, seafood, massage therapy, painkillers and giving gifts.
  

  
  
  
  

  DISLIKES

  Mess, roots showing, oily skincare, chipped nails, ballet, cats, dirt, bad manners, grease, glitter and beer.
  

  
  
  
  

  HABITS

  Food can’t touch on her plate. She enjoys them individually.
  
  Smokes when stressed. Unfortunately, she’s always stressed.
  
  Not often does Luci become nervous, but when she does, is prone to rambling.
  
  The plastic fantastic credit-card is her vice. Quite the shopaholic, and can meander stores for unhealthy amounts of time.
  

  
  
  
  
  

  FEARS

  Birds, thunder, broken bones.

  VISAGE

  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  BUILD

  Not a voluptuous woman, Lucille has always been built tall and lean. At 5’9” she holds her own in terms of height, usage of heels often surpassing 6ft. A lifetime of ballet has instilled good balance and postural habits.
  

  
  
  
  
  

  HAIR

  Valuing porous peroxide, weekly visits to her hair colorist ensures any signs of natural brunette are stripped clean. Often styled in a smooth blow-out, she is dedicated to encapsulating the features of a blonde bombshell.
  

  
  
  
  
  

  EYES

  Pools of vapid gray are framed by bronzed lids and mascara-laden lashes. With naturally deep-set eyes, concealer and pressed powders can only achieve so much in masking their natural shadow and heaviness.
  

  
  
  
  
  

  SCARS

  Burn mark on her thigh from a stupidly misplaced flat-iron.
  

  
  
  
  
  

  MODS

  Lobes with the lightweight simplicity of studs or small hoops. Flashy high karat jewellery is only substituted in the event of parties. Currently no tattoos.
  

  
  
  
  
  

  DISTINGUISHING

  If there has been a day out of meticulously-worn perfection, Lucille doesn’t recall it. No matter the circumstances, grocery shopping, hungover, sick etc, she prioritises tidy glamour. Preparing herself every morning takes an excruciating amount of time, and wrangling her from her room once out of makeup is near impossible.
  
  There is natural austerity to Luci, an icy hard-edged aspect that doesn’t radiate hospitality. Paired with the height, wealth, and manner of confidence, it makes her less-than-approachable to the outside eye.
  
  Looks uncomfortable when smiling, grimace-like.
  

  
  
  
  
  

  STYLE

  Usually monochrome and of designer label, Lucille dons herself in blazers and similar office-wear. Makeup is kept simple, yet complimentary. Nude shades and a blotted peach lip day-to-day.

  OCCUPATION

  Claims to be part of The Royal Ballet. Is actually a struggling waitress, albeit not a very good one.
  

  
  
  
  

  BEDROOM DECOR

  She’s not a woman of interior design, and this reflects in her simplistic modern taste. Whilst barren and almost sterile-feeling with colours grey, cream and black, it’s by no means uncomfortable. Goose-feather comforters, cushioned stool to a large vanity mirror, marble-topped nightstand with a lamp and a draw filled with prescriptions. Outside of one fake potted plant, decorations are sparse. Once bought a sunset-pink Live, Laugh, Love pillow in an attempt to decorate. It was promptly thrown out when the positivity annoyed her.
  
  Also owns a childhood plushie of a lobster named Clément. He stays strictly hidden in her wardrobe.
  

  
  
  

  HEADCANONS

  ➢ Cats like her. She doesn’t like them.
  
  ➢ Enjoys seeing lego builds on display in stores, but never purchases any of the sets.
  
  ➢ Knows how to work a coffee machine. Useless when it comes to using other appliances: washing machines, irons, and even ovens get the best of her.
  
  ➢ When smuggling the secret shame of Donuts, the box is stored inside her vanity. Frequently finishes them before rodents become an issue.

  French-born and wealthy, living lavishly left money issues as a thing of the unknown. Daughter of renowned ballerina Fleuretta Blanchet, Lucille was fitted with pointe shoes and big expectations from a young age. Training began at age 4, renovated to formal ballet at age 8 where stakes would soar and comparison grew heavy. Ego orientation festered, and as success became all about outperforming others, dance became more demanding than just physical exhaustion.
  
  Mentally taxing, bloodthirst of the sport made her tense and outwardly cold. After migrating to London, some competitive pressure was eased from those that recognised the Blanchet name. She enrolled in university for a degree in dance, managing to balance studies with intensive training.
  
  Draining blood blisters after breaking in daily pointe shoes, fighting the ache of joint pain and taking painkillers like breath mints assisted in pushing her limits, and when nearing graduation, her life objective of joining The Royal Ballet was within reach.
  
  Refusing to adjust a rigorous training schedule to accommodate for much needed healing, Lucille learned the consequences of dancing through injury at her audition for The Royal Ballet. A grade three ligament tear sending prima ballerina into failed ruination. For the first time in her life she was exposed to raw uncertainty and lack of direction. Career plans threatened, sense of self catastrophic, and left in mourning of the life she’d expected.
  
  Unable to confront the shame, Luci lied about it. Family and friends are under the impression she is working for The Royal Ballet company, when in reality she’s a cafe waitress.
  
  Whether she’ll understand what she wants and sculpt her own path is uncertain, as there’s a destructive appeal in succumbing to the grief of a lifelong dream.

  personality

  somewhat of a southern belle, with the feeling that whenever you're around her, she could immediately grab an electric guitar and shred a major riff. a girl that isn't afraid to get dirty, ride a horse, get eaten up by mosquitoes, but one that also appreciates getting dressed up and being taken out for a night on the town. comes from a place where manners continue to be in overdrive, so very much of a 'yes sir, yes ma'am' girl, but also has that side to her that can forget about those manners when agitated. appreciates long road trips with the top down. will listen to jimmy buffett, then jimi hendrix on the very next track. believes that everyone deserves a mixtape and spends way too long putting an overdose of dolly parton on each one she makes. a country girl. but one that appreciates the city.

  never worn a cowboy hat a day in her life. always was too worried that it would mess up the curls she got from her mom. plus, she couldn't get over how good it felt to have the wind run through her blonde hair as a little girl. she never got over that feeling. underneath the first layer of curls lays a slightly darker set that trend more towards a brown, giving a nice contrast to morgan's favorite feature. she is slim, not necessarily fit, but riding horses for most of her life made her sturdy enough through the midportion of her frame. wardrobe consists primarily of leather jackets, or the occasional carhartt jacket that slips on over band tees. morgan's favorite shirt is from a kenny chesney concert she went to with her dad before moving overseas. hardly wears shorts, never wears dresses. unless it's a super special occasion. owns six pairs of cowboy boots, but hasn't worn a single pair since going to university.

  the duality
  decorating the bedroom

  morgan has had a canvas of the water tower from moore haven at sunset sitting in storage since she arrived. that would display immediately over her bed. she's slightly obsessed with canvases, so smaller ones that showed pictures from country concerts would litter the walls. instead of lighting her room with traditional lamps, morgan put edison bulbs in mason jars that hang from the ceiling. the only pieces of furniture in the bedroom would be her bed (that sits on the floor with no bedframe), a worn gray nightstand and a white dresser that morgan painted the florida state flag on each side on. with a small budget, she had to be minimalistic in her decor.
  
  

  the degree

  agricultural engineering
  
  

  current occupation

  unemployed. looking for the right fit.
  
  

  the backstory

  Call it manifest destiny, call it fate, call it whatever you want, but when Morgan Kazmier graduated high school from Moore Haven High, it was a given that she would be thrust into the family business without any further option. College wasn’t an option because her parents couldn’t afford it, and Morgan didn’t put nearly enough effort into school to try and get a full ride. And even if Morgan decided to go away from home, her parents surely wouldn’t be able to replace everything she did for her father’s business.
  
  Kaz’s Roadside Haven sits along US-27 about 30 minutes to the west of Moore Haven, Florida. The business is just what it sounds like - a roadside stand with plenty of fruits, vegetables, tourist takeaways and the last gas station for nearly 50 miles. Travelers that want to avoid the traffic of Tampa, Fort Myers or the I-75/I-95 corridor but still need to get to Miami find themselves stumbling upon Kaz’s at some point.
  
  Morgan had been an integral part of the operations of the business since she was old enough to reach the gas tank on a Ford F-250. She’d help pump gas, sell fruit, stock, anything to keep the business afloat. That was her life. But as she grew older, she easily became the most beautiful thing to grace Moore Haven in a long, long time. During her senior year of high school, six different boys asked her to prom.
  
  She never really knew how to deal with the attention. Regardless of her appearance, she always remained humble. Kept quiet, went to school, cheered at Friday night football games and worked at her dad’s store. When she graduated, nothing changed except she had more time to work at the store. So that’s what she did. But as the days progressed and the months passed, the growing idea in her head of getting out of Moore Haven continued to grow exponentially.
  
  So she started to put money away. She'd take extra shift after extra shift, then take on a bartending job at one of the dives in town. Morgan had finally decided that she wanted out of Florida. And she was willing to go far - as far as the United Kingdom - to get out.
  
  
• "dad, i love you, but...
  
  
  
  
  ...i've got to do this."
  "Dad... can I talk to you?"
  
  "Sure, honey."
  
  "So... I've been thinking. I've had this idea. I've thought about it for a while now, and I didn't want to talk to you or mom about it until I knew exactly what I was going to do."
  
  "Just blurt it out, what is it?"
  
  "I...uh...I want to go to college."
  
  "Okay, I'm sure we can find some extra cash to send you to the community college in Clewiston, honey."
  
  "Dad, no."
  
  "Florida and Florida State are too expensive, Morg, and you know that. And what's with this college idea now? You've been out of high school for 2 years now and you never acted like you wanted to go."
  
  "I just want out. Out of MH. I got... a-accepted into a college in London."
  
  "London!? England? You're going to give me a heart attack."
  
  "I got accepted, dad. And I've put away so much money over the last three years with the store. Bartended. I don't want to go to Florida or Florida State. Or anywhere in the U.S. for that matter. I want something completely different. A big city. London, dad. Think about the opportunities. I could get us all out of here if I get this degree and make enough afterward. You wouldn't have to work the rest of your life."
  
  "Morgan, no. You can't put yourself in de-"
  
  "Dad, I love you. But I've got to do this."

  * personality

  
  With two loving and doting parents, Leila was very lucky in the family department growing up. She really does love her parents, but right now she has to prove them wrong and show she can do what she wants all on her own. She’s relatively stubborn and is used to getting what she wants as she was spoiled from such a young age, however a spoiled brat she is not. Well, not most of the time. If she finds herself low on cash and can’t afford a treat or clothing she really wants, you may find her pouting or hovering over the call button of her parents’ phone.
  
  On the flip side though, Leila is kind-hearted and known for her work in modeling surrounding eating disorders and destigmatizing mental health. She struggled as a teenager and doesn’t want other models, or anyone, to go through what she did. She’s very passionate about it and has been known to overwork herself even when she so obviously needs a break.
  Leila is hardworking, fiery and maybe a little intense to those who don’t know her. She’s also the biggest lover of comedy though and has a contagious laugh that’s so distinctly her. Leila just wants to find her path; whether that be modeling, interviewing, or possibly even something she’s never even tried! She just wants to find where she belongs.

  * history

  
  Being brought up with celebrities as parents is surely an interesting way for any child to grow up, Leila got to experience this firsthand. Her father was a screenwriter, doing scripts for multiple blockbuster hits and even some short films. As a child, Leila would audition and even book a few gigs, but as she grew older she lost any passion for filming she had found. Her mother on the other hand, was a runway model, and that is where her parents found Leila’s talents lied as well. They wanted her to be successful and have to work as little as possible, they wanted her to enjoy what she did too of course, but because of the luxurious way she was brought up, they simply assumed her enjoyment would be in places where she could show herself off, hence following in her mothers’ footsteps.
  
  As Leila grew into a young woman, she found herself feeling unfulfilled. It wasn’t that she didn’t enjoy the photoshoots and fashion shows, because they were fun, but it wasn’t what she wanted to do. When she brought up the idea of college, her parents agreed and she settled on a journalism degree with a focus in film and tv coverage. Throughout college she continued to model, and got to walk in New York and Milan Fashion Week which was a big source of pride for the family, especially her mother. When she graduated, her parents assumed she’d return to modeling full time, but Leila had other plans.
  
  Since she had to miss University frequently for modeling gigs and such, she didn’t meet too many people that she clicked with. However, as graduation neared, the girl found a group of students planning on moving in together and Leila was intrigued. She didn’t get that part of college and felt like she missed out on something, so she inserted herself as another roommate. While her parents had always been supportive, this was something that they felt wouldn’t further her career in either field she was interested in. They explained this, but it erupted into a big fight that ended in Leila slamming the door and leaving.
  
  The three haven’t spoken since and slowly, but surely, Leila’s funds have begun getting cut off from her parents, leaving her to make her own money. Luckily she’s the face of a luxury brand of gowns and has saved money from other gigs over the years, so while she’s pursuing the dream of interviewing actors for press junkets, she’s also still modeling, which can lead to the initial perception that she’s full of herself.

  Otto is... spontaneous. Sometimes you will find him up on his toes because he hates sitting still for long periods of time and he wants to do something, or other times you will see him being calm and quiet. He's pretty easy to get along if you can handle the fact that he's pretty enthusiastic and hyper. He loves making other people smile and laugh, so you'll see him doing something goofy or comical to get a laugh out of others, he's a pretty funny guy. Otto is also pretty forgetful, an example being that he'll forget what he was talking about earlier.
  
  Otto is also messy and disorganized, the type to stuff papers into a bag and go rummaging for them later. He also doesn't like being told what to do, and more than likely he is going to brush it off and do what he wants to. Otto is prone to reckless and impulsive behavior, doing things out of sheer impulse and not thinking about what he is doing is possibly a rash decision. He wants to help out, he wants to help others and he doesn't want to be standing idly by when he could be helping somebody out.

  history

  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  Otto was born in Berlin, Germany as an only child to his parents Elias and Helga Fischer. From a young age, Otto knew he wanted to be a writer. Even with sketchy penmanship he would write very short, fictional stories. His parents worked jobs to keep food on the table so Otto stayed with an aunt during this time period. And he would show said short stories to said aunt and they get pinned up on the wall or the fridge. This was a recurrent thing until Otto was around 10 years old. That was when his parents upped and told him that they were going to be moving to England. Otto never really understood why they were leaving their 'nice life' in Germany just to move all the way to England.
  
  When Otto was 16, his parent's marriage was starting to strain. Arguments were a regular thing in the Fischer household, most often occurring in the mornings and at night whenever Otto was trying to sleep. Falling asleep with earbuds was a common thing for him as he tried to block out the noise so he could fall asleep. Around this time, Otto was seeking out a job -- to help his parents out a little and because he had an interest in going to university and majoring in creative writing, plus there was a certain university that he was eyeing on hopefully attending. Otto landed a small full-time job; it wasn't much but it was something.
  
  When Otto was done with school, he continued his job to give his mom a break and some rest and to build up more money for his university wish. He energized himself with multiple cups of coffee, he got some writing in whenever he could, and he slept. This was routine for him, and it stayed his routine until he was able to rake in enough money.
  
  Finally, Otto was able to head off to university. And quite frankly, he was going to be homesick for a little bit since he's never been away from home for long periods of time. He also landed himself a new job as a barista, partly due to his love of coffee, and partly to keep making some money for himself. And he landed himself with a group of others who were seeking out an apartment together.

  ✿ WHAT HE STUDIED AT UNIVERSITY: creative writing
  ✿ HOW WOULD HE DECORATE HIS BEDROOM?: Furniture consists of his bed that's pushed right up against the wall, a beige colored nightstand to the left of the bed that has some clutter on it, a sepia colored dresser where Otto keeps his pajamas and clothes tucked away, a worn light brown desk with a small desk lamp resting atop of it as well as a small cat printed mug where he will keep pencils, pens, and erasers. The desk also has drawers which are quite frankly stuffed with varying clutter. Next to the desk is a cat calender pinned up to the wall. Colorwise, Otto will go for cool toned colors such as blue. Cat and Videogame posters are an absolute must.

A flash. A crazed grin. A clumsy, goofy shimmy to accentuate her points. A laser-laden tongue. Desdemona wraps you easily around her finger, irresistible in her charms. She's a cartoon character, and perfect to be consumed in small doses. But living with her? An entire beast, one not so quickly vanquished.

Especially because you kill the good with the ugly.

She'll give you a break, though. Let you leave as you please, keep you at that comfortable arm's length so you don't feel obligated. Let Des be the person you want her to be, build her up in your mind's eye, right before she destroys it. Combative, jumpy, and jittery, she's not one to keep up a lie for too long, at least not before she confuses one with the other. Compulsive, acting on twisted, shredded instincts.

That isn't to say that Des lacks volition. Slipping like butter, her feelings catapult from one arena to the next. She insists it isn't true, she's relaxed. 'Chill.' A word spoken as a double entendre. A lie, another to add to her dossier. A mystery cultivated from the best of her father's work, built from elements of various femme fatales as though that makes a personality and not an object. Conflicted, confused, lost and most importantly, quick to see the cracks. Her own and yours. Her eye is open, watchful as Big Brother, and nothing escapes its net.

Perfect for the big screen, destined to be behind it, Mona takes real life and turns it into her playground. It becomes the mist she plays with, a master of the shadows. Her camcorder becomes the gas mask, shielding herself from self-misunderstanding, though its faulty. She captures everyone around her, refusing to encapsulate herself with the same love and affection. Her clothes carry one this torch, comparing herself to the items she creates for friends and Etsy-shop buyers. Trendy, with the grain, while she creates a decaying style for herself. Nothing requires her heavy hand, her self-importance, or her signature.

Instead, she is her signature.

The body is the canvas, the personality is the paint. Her image is muddied, decidedly so, but it sticks out in the art gallery. She is proud, more so than many believe she should be, and she has worked very hard to love herself.

No one's perfect, though.

likes

Early 20th Century lit, the Rocky Horror Picture Show, parties, decadence, pretending, a good laugh, pushing people’s buttons, shoplifting, Holden Caulfield, clean laundry, arguing, smoke breaks with the other ‘office hags’ (her words), masculine colognes, snapping the perfect shot on the first go-about, being on a set

dislikes

snobs, being stared at, whispers around her, bouts of paranoia, bubbily personas of any sort, fake personalities in general (even if they are only fake to her), kindness that feels forced, being told the ‘calm down,’ air fresheners, dirty dishes that aren’t hers, and mystery hairs in her vicinity.

hobbies

filming everything on her camcorder from the early 2000s, reading in the sunlight and smoking a cigarette, talking through movies, doing anything but her job, sewing, snooping

habits

spikes her hair when thinking or nervous, picks off her nail polish, rolls around in her sleep a lot, doesn't care for talking in a normal voice, constantly chewing on a piece of gum, readjusting her jaw due to unremoved wisdom teeth

places most likely found

reading in her room's window or outside, sleeping, working, at her sewing machine, or sticking a camera in your face

bedroom

Deep blues, velvet, and an arrangement of whimsigothic standards. Lots of stars, constellations, and the watchful eyes of the moon and the sun. A bed with plush, greenish aquamarine bedding perfect for her sleep. The most bright portion of her room comes from the bay window, which sits with her desk just off to the side. Walls are sparse, though some punk band and movie posters hang from the wall, clearly vintage and previously owned by her father. Bookshelves take up most of the space, either filled with movies on DVD, CDs, or books.

headcanons

- will critique your outfit out-loud
- hates being told to 'calm down'
- the mom friend at parties; likes to have her fun but will make sure you're drinking responsibly
- peter pan syndrome for sure
- loses her mind every time she sees a kitty
- has not read a single one of her father's novels, though she has helped with coming up with ideas for them.
- on that note, just know that her father is not rich in any way; rather, her father wrote just enough to get by and was largely a freelance artist for most of her life
- he's also an overprotective king
- hates being trapped into any sort of decision
- likes soft things
- deeply insecure about specific things; for example, she refuses to fall asleep in front of people as it makes her self-conscious, though she enjoys having someone else wake her up.
- will come up with wack-ass nicknames for people

little more

history

tragedy.

TW: implication of hoarding

Somewhere along her twisty path, Desdemona dressed herself. She fell in love with the hideous mix of stripes, polkadots, and zebra print. She loathed when people would look at her blankly while wearing an outfit. Standing in the grocery store aisle with her hand gripping her mother's pant leg, strangers studied her curiously.

She was a science experiment.

So was everyone else.

Her mother had told her as such.

In Des's brain, this meant she should feed into this. That she should experiment herself, make her a tree to adorn.

She was six when she first began to do this. One day, her mother loved it, encouraged it, and others, she studied Des the same way the grocery store adults did. With strange disgust, as though they won't commit because of the sight of innocence. Confusion formed at, not this reaction, but the hurt. Her eyes cringed, thirsting for tears.

Her mom always returned to that calm appreciative state, though. And she always bought Desdemona a knickknack from the thrift store or another microwave to add to her room.

Weeks. Weak at the knees as her father finally stepped into the house. She had forgotten to come when she heard him honk, too engrossed in trying to find a pair of clean pants. He observed, quietly, and then told Des it was time to go.

Her mom was asleep when she left, surrounded by a throne of garbage.

vicissitude.

End of TW

Her school of thought became influenced and marred by her father's penchant for writing drug store mystery novels.

In addition to his punk years, which died with a fizzle and a sputter. By the time Des was a teenager, she wished he'd never left that phase of life, especially as he looked at her black lipstick and fishnet stockings with raised brows.

'If you still had that septum you wouldn't care,' she'd tell him.

Good-naturedly, he'd smile, set down his coffee, and say, 'You don't need metal in your face to unionize.'

'Yeah, but it makes you cooler.'

She was cool, after all. It's all she ever wanted to be.

Her therapist, mandated once her father won full custody when she was eight, mentioned how childhood trauma could develop certain complexes in adulthood. By the time Desdemona was sixteen, she understood this wisdom. As did her dad, who tried very hard to navigate tender feminine teenagedom despite spending his own youth smashing beer bottles in bars.

Which was exactly what Des was not supposed to be doing. It is, however, what she did anyways.

Bar crawls were familiar weekend activities before Des reached university. Outfits carefully spun like her own fairy godmother, and batteries charged with great care. Camera snapshots, perfect and rivaled even Cobra Snake, uploaded to her Tumblr after every occasion. Her mouth has smelled like cigarettes since she was fifteen, and she makes no attempts to hide it.

It was a miracle, a true test of her own determination, that got her into univeristy.

Not to mention her dad's watchful eye, pushing her to keep her note in the books instead of elsewhere.

melodrama.

The end is nigh!

Truly though, it has felt that way for a long time.

University brought upon her adulthood and a roommate who acted strangely like her mother. Dirty dishes piled sky-high, a nasty mouse problem, etc. A nightmare, unrelenting, and she found herself quickly back in the leather of an office she thought she'd never see again.

Medications solved the paranoia, though they're easily forgotten. Every action requires ten more before them, weighing down Des to the point of seeming 'laziness.' Her dad lacked any proper understanding, confused by where all 'of this' was coming from. He'd gifted her with the good life, had he not? Struggle was no stranger, but his thirftiness afforded Des an education. Living slimly garnered a hefty amount of savings, enough to afford tuition. He rarely bought into the system, but in this way he had.

So why was she so miserable?

What he failed to realize, like everyone else had, was that Des had always been miserable. She was just too exhausted to hide it.

'I'm fine,' became the slogan, and course work became the trigger on the starting gun.

Parties were solace, and she began to make a mint sewing rave 'fits for people she met. Trading kandie and a quick patch of a rip could buy her a pill or two. Her name became known for its wild stories. Desdemona was on a rollercoaster that 'only went up.'

Then, around junior year, the trajectory of the ball changed, and she began to roll down a different hill.

Her short film was nominated for a small award.

And her internship application to i-D Magazine went through.

Suddenly, she had enough credits for both a degree in Film and Fashion. Career became her main focus, shifting from participating in the party to capturing it. Contributing. Writing about it, too, if i-D would let her.

Unfortunately, it appear that even after uni, she's stuck behind the front desk. If only she could get behind a camera, but that appears to be an even greater fantasy.

With the prospect of her roommates, however, her camera is calling to her more than ever. Who wouldn't appreciate an artfully edited film about the lives of eight post-grads? Particularly ones from such varied backgrounds?

Perpetually in your face, Des has finally found her calling. Her focus. Even on days where her mind wanders, filled with strange memories, she readjusts the lens.

For now, that's enough.

  height & weight

  6'0, 177 lbs

  hair

  Inheriting the deep mocha locks from his father, Jude typically keeps his hair styled messily parted to the side. He also tends to keep his hair's length to the midst of his neck, but there are times where the male will allow small overgrow, highlighting waves which naturally texturize his hair.

  eyes

  Deep set, oak

  physique

  From constant labor and physical activity, Jude has always held a decently fit body. Years of constantly moving crates of produce, stocking heavy meats into walk-in refrigerators and gym visits throughout the week on top, these routines left the future chef standing tall with noticeably toned muscles.

  style

  Judas seems to gravitate to neutral or dark tones based off the various collection of greys, blacks, and browns filling his closet. Even when Judas felt he was dressing casually, there always appeared to be a formal essence to his outfit — whether it was a sharply folded collar lining his tattered sweater, or pairing a proper pair of slacks with his worn Queen band t-shirt. Jude is also seen wearing rings on both hands often, never on every single digit, but sterling silver was certainly present. The male gets a little fun in by adding small, silver chains to his pant-loops as accessory, casually adding an edginess to his 'formal' layering.

  modifications

  A single left ear piercing which usually holds a small silver hoop. Judas has tattoos littered across his arms, a few gaps noticeable in between while the male continues to work on his sleeves. At least maintaining a goal of completing one of them.

  How would they decorate their bedroom in the apartment?

  If there's one thing Jude is more than happy to display, it would be the covers belonging to each piece of vinyl he had. Maybe not all of them, the man had a sense of organization, but his most prized possessions — like Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" album, or AC/DC's "Back In Black", "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" by Elton John, especially The Beatle's "Rubber Soul". Whatever he would decide, the room would remain simple according to furniture, as he owned a full sized mattress which rested on a cheap metal frame just inches above the floor and a four drawer cedar dresser paired with a matching single drawer nightstand. As persistent as the male was to get up in the morning and religiously set his alarm for work, he was also persistent in keeping his corridors dim until he decided to start his day... or had too. Blackout curtains and a basic monochrome bed set were all the briton needed for comfort, sometimes making Jude too comfortable to be honest. The only other display he has to fill the emptiness of his dressers besides a few bottles of cologne and a single family portrait was the diploma he obtained from culinary school.

  habits

  frequently drinking coffee or tea, scratching the back of his neck, jingling keys before using, tapping fingers on hard surfaces, cracking knuckles, perfectionist, itching at facial hair, eye rolling, drumming the steering wheel with both index fingers, fiddling with his rings mid conversation, smelling any beverage before drinking
  

  personality

  Though Judas may present himself as being a bit self focused and unapproachable, he can be quite the party. Despite his sharp eyes and sunken features, which very much represent the wrath and carelessness he carries, Jude enjoys letting loose while living in the moment. In his most comfortable setting, which is any bar or pub, Jude is pretty charismatic and open — especially when he's warmed up with a couple booze and the company of blaring music. The walls of Manchester created a free spirit out him somehow, after being surrounded by numerous lawyers and representatives, after being raised by his father. Instead of following in a strict line, Judas couldn't help but linger away from it — he preferred to experience the adrenaline which reminded him of his current existence rather than soothe the strain of discomfort brought by life expectations and standards. That being said, Judas doesn't care about other people's feelings, specifically when it comes to the opinions of himself. There's a surge of satisfaction that moves through him while seeing people angered by his words or gestures, a toxic trait that Jude is very aware of, along with his creeping temper. The man won't immediately choose violence, but he won't be quick to bite his tongue either — in fact Jude loves bickering and knit-picking. To an extent. Hes fearless and headstrong, both of which could get him into some serious trouble, but it also highlights what Jude believes in. The Briton might allow others to think he is dull minded and simple, but in reality he's got a few agreeable and knowledgeable notions hidden in that mind of his. Its just a matter if one could get passed that sarcastic and blunt layer of Jude's.

[The Silent Z]

NAME
Jørgen Vestergaard
AGE
22
Gender
Male

D.O.B:
May, 17th, 2000
Sexuality:
Heterosexual
ROLE
Lower Class

PERSONALITY
Jørgen is quite true to his sign, a Taurus, a stubborn and determined bull of a man. While he’s quite supportive, caring and hardworking in his relationships always doing his best to bond with others and be there for his friends and loved ones no matter what it takes from him all the while being upbeat and socially lively and positive. He can on the flip side of that coin also be very stubborn, determined and certain in his ways determined to succeed at his goals in life no matter what, namely one, a goal that represents who he feels he is and the ultimate dream he’s built his entire being and life around for as long and as far back as he can remember. A tendency to either be self destructive in his methods, narrowly focused and prone to outbursts when pressed during his worst of times which can be when paired with his sign, a risky nature if becoming partnered with any struggles. While alternatively he could be inspired and motivational with his successes and triumphs over it all, the obstacles and struggles he faces in life.

Overall Jørgen is a normal young man trying to find his way in life, enjoy his time and working hard to achieve his dreams and strive to be that version of him he’s always desires to become. He’s bit of a chaotic force with a free spirited nature mixed into one. So maybe a…. Mess.

Virtues;
Strong willed, Determined, Athletic, Strong, protective and upbeat socially, supportive, high tolerance , passionate

Vices;
Addictive, self-destructive habits. Stubborn, narrowly focused and misses the big picture ironically so. Reckless at times, prone to taking risks without back up plans. Difficult.

Likes;
Sports (Hockey especially)
All kinds of Music
Meatball Subs
Old motors (Cars, Bikes, etc… the classics)
Casual wear
Animals (volunteers at shelters and supports various charities)

Dislikes;
Opera
Mushrooms
Math
Dressy, high class wear and events
Ties (especially ties & other accessories that make him feel like he’s choking or being choked)
Tight/small/closed in spaces

APPEARANCE
Jørgen has always preferred a casual but cool look. Well cool in his own opinion never one to willingly dress up and wear tuxedos or suits and ties when he can avoid it while prone to fuss when he does. The young man enjoys throwing on tees with whatever jeans or joggers he can find clean along with the occasional hoodie or sweater when not wearing jerseys and sports themed, branded gear with sneakers of various brands he likes and feels are comfortable.

Meanwhile his tall and muscular frame that’s around 6’2 and roughly 210 lbs, while slightly thin to some degree, maintaining a athletic build with a mess of dark hair atop his head that ranges of messy short, messy spiked, messy medium or plain long and messy yet always clean hair pending his current stylings. Jørgen never was one to vary from his messy style too often unless it was woman/GF inspired and encouraged. Pale hazel eyes, a charming infectious smile accompanied by dimples and a shadow of stubble about his face most often rather then the clean shaven look.

BRIEF HISTORY
Born in Vojens, Denmark and immigrating to London during his early teens with his parents. Jørgen of danish and English heritage, growing up a passionate supporter of Sønderjyske hockey team and dreaming of one day suiting up for the Vojens… Always was a driven child with a singular seeming passion of Hockey and sports though hockey always came first. Dedicating his free time playing hockey, working on his skating and skills while sleeping, eating and breathing everything that was hockey. It always consumed him and though his parents never cared for the idea or the sport in general remained supportive of him and assisted where they could.

During his mid teens his passion and hard work had finally paid off, he signed with Sønderjyske when he was sixteen once considered a prospect destined for the NHL while being a potential force in the CHL and danish hockey leagues. Taking time away to complete his education along the way at university and etc, Jørgen remained part of the team for years up til present day…. Although multiple injuries endured months ago in his last game played to date, leave the young man struggling with his latest obstacles as a lower class, driven and obsessive athlete with a dream that hasn’t yet been fully realized. Torn MCL, ACL and concussions have left him sidelined, forced into physical therapy and other health, doctor related visits while struggling with pain killers, memory & focus lapses occasionally and the struggles he currently faces yet still driven to overcome and make his triumphant return to the ice.

Meanwhile claiming to be taking side jobs to make ends meat, hiding his rising main job of performing at a local club as the lead vocals and playing various instruments for different songs and performances. Often claiming he tends bar, does odd jobs about the place to earn pay while he’s barred from the ice and playing hockey again.

HOW WOULD THEY DECORATE THEIR BEDROOM IN THE APARTMENT
Framed signed jerseys of his hockey idols from Sønderjyske and the Ottawa Senators upon his wall. Sports memorabilia of various teams he supports across different sports subtly placed around his room, alongside a mix of band/artist posters and movie posters tastefully done as not to overwhelm. A simple but modern looking bed and desk where his laptop sits, a Tv and gaming consoles with a small collection of games, books and DVD’s underneath a Entertainment center that was just big enough to hold them all while the remaining sat in a box in his closet. While a few instruments sit in the far corner of his room tucked away to keep as much space and tidy as possible.

WHAT DID THEY STUDY AT UNIVERSITY
Sports management (Major) History (Minor) Environmental Sciences ( Minor)

CURRENT OCCUPATION
Pro Hockey player (Sidelined & potentially formerly)
Secret Musician (Claims to tend Bar & odd jobs about the clubs)

  A vivacious charming young woman, Lara is easily the life of any party, her quick wit and charisma easily endearing her to strangers, especially gullible ones who are willing to listen to her fake spiritual business ventures. What strangers don't see, however is a crafty hustler; one who can pretend to be your best friend one day and ghost you after you start questioning whether she actually can communicate with your dead relatives if you buy her crystals. Though not completely heartless, she draws firm lines between her real friendships and her fake relationships which can often be hard for outsiders to distinguish until it's too late. Deep down, beneath the girl who seems on top of everything is a scared individual who desperately needs to feel like the boss and not as if she's losing everything again.

  early life

  
  

  
  

  Lara Naomi Monroe was born to a young-and-dumb-in-love couple in a shoddy apartment in Liverpool, the eldest daughter before Natalie followed 5 years later. Xavier and Hilary Monroe were high school sweethearts, who married young and lived contentedly with their little family for a little under a decade or so. However, as the cost of living and raising two young kids grew, so did the tensions between them. Eventually Hilary would storm out after fights to meet up with coworkers who Xavier suspected she was cheating with, or Xavier would head to the pub to get drunk and forget his woes. The passionate, volatile pair's tumultuous marriage was abrubtly ended however, as Hilary ended up involved in a hit and run, just before Lara turned 7

  
  
  
  
  

  
  

  
  

  later life

  
  

  
  

  
  The news of his wife's passing was a slap in the face to Xavier. Even though they were struggling, he still had the girl of his dreams, two beautiful daughters, and a decent house. But he'd only realized when it was too late.
  
  This realization of all he'd had and lost just drove him into destitution. He couldn't stand looking at his daughters, couldn't stand facing the fact that he'd drove his wife out of the house that night. This sorrow worsened his substance issues, his behavior escalating from leaving them at home with their mother to downright neglect. And so at age 8, Lara and Natalie Monroe were taken away by CPS after multiple counts of child neglect, including leaving the young children alone at night and only returning in the barely-wee hours of the morning. The two girls were seperated into different homes, only reconnecting every so often.
  
  Lara spent the years, tossed around from house to house, falling in love with families only to get sent back. As she got older, she began to hang with other older foster kids, gradually falling in with a worse crowd who would encourage her to sneak out, drink, and even steal from her host families. Even if she got caught, what was the worst that could happen? They'd ditch her sooner?
  
  Despite her rocky start, Leah was a clever girl, one who wanted a better life than she'd been given. And how would she get that? Money. Lots of it. She'd take the standard route, studying hard, aiming for a high paying career in law, yes. But why not also have a few side hustles?
  
  So while she studied in high school, and college, she perfected the hustle she'd been developing since the age of 11. She'd been through a great many in her years of experience, pickpocketing always being a steady source, and as she got older? Scams. Palm readings, bullshit fake crystals to cure illnesses, miracle oils so hair would grow back, presenting an image of a cool confident spiritual girl who had all the answers to achieving wellness. Even a stint as a pet medium, that she revisits from time to time. She'd mastered the art of infiltrating lives, getting gullible people to purchase her shit in bulk, and never see them again. Nobody wanted to admit they got hoodwinked by such a young girl, and even if they wanted to she gave them completely fake information that made it hard to track her down.
  

  
  
  
  
  

  
  

  
  

  even later life

  
  

  
  

  Outside of the scam, she's pursuing a career in law, moving in with some friends from her undergrad days to attend a law school in the fancy area. Elated to live like a posh adult, and hopefully track down rich schmucks to sell, the world is her oyster. Her dream is to one day make enough for a nice fancy house with a picket fence like the one she had as a kid, only better. So who could begrudge a girl for saving?

  What She Studied At Uni
  Political Science
  
  How She Would Decorate Her Apartment Bedroom
  A disorganized mess, which she swears is just uniquely organized(she's just a hoarder). She would adore a room with clutter, being intentional about there being little knicknacks like crystals or tchotchkes on every shelf, nook, and cranny. A small twin bed in the corner, with a desk and chair being pushed in next to it to be used as a bedside table. Her most valued collection sitting on it's own shelf? A DVD player, and collection of old films which she's spent her adolescence collecting. Not one for posters or giant pictures, she'd pin up various bulletin boards on the walls of her room with notes and snapshots. O

  A glossy dark brown, mostly pin straight with a very slight wave pattern. Always kept short and meticulously coiffed into a neatly dapper style, rarely seen with a hair out of place--unless it's after a long night of drinking. His face is sometimes clean-shaven unless you catch him hungover (which is often) when he just can't be assed to clean up his 5 o'clock shadow.

  Naturally slender and lean, his build is wiry but not overly muscular. Despite his lack of sleep and substance abuse, Jed will insist he's health conscious because he works out regularly to stay toned.

  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  
  

  attire

  
  

  While his wardrobe isn't particularly trendy or flashy, Jed always looks polished and sharply dressed in a simple, understated way. While he owns a couple of impeccably tailored suits when the occasion calls for it, his casual clothes consist of smart basics like jeans, fitted t-shirts or sweaters in muted neutrals, and a leather jacket if needed.

  personality

  
  
  
  

  
  On the surface, Jed appears to be a put-together, driven young individual. He tends to win people over easily with his good looks and charm, and his slick, manipulative nature gives him an advantage in many aspects of life, especially in his "line of work." Beneath the dashing, flirtatious persona, however, is a colassal fuck-up with a deep well of loneliness where his heart should be, forever drowning his sorrows in various substances to cope with an inability to sustain meaningful relationships.

  early life

  
  

  
  

  Jedediah Gallinger was born to Audra Wells and John Gallinger, raised in a small apartment in one of the more dodgy estates in London. Jed was not a welcome addition to the family; to Audra, another baby was one more mouth to feed and the last thing she needed to deal with as a 39-year-old working two low wage jobs, just trying to make ends meet. But she kept the pregnancy anyway, hoping to force her current beau into sticking around for his child. Unfortunately, John had no qualms with being known as a deadbeat dad, and abandoned the family before little Jed's first birthday.
  

  
  
  
  
  

  
  

  
  

  later life

  
  

  
  

  Basically raised by his two older half-brothers, Duke and Buckley, they kept Jed alive but had their own teenage lives to lead, and left the boy largely to his own devices. Desperate for any kind of attention from his mother, Jed quickly became known as a problem child, getting into fights and misbehaving at school. As much as he tried though, his antics never got Audra's attention the way he hoped; she was just too busy and tired to parent him more than the occasional slap upside the head or half-hearted grounding.
  
  Jed took full advantage of his latchkey kid status into his teenage years though, staying out all hours of the night, drinking, sleeping around, dabbling in all kinds of drugs. He hung out with fellow hoodlums and street kids, learning the art of pickpocketing, pool hustling, and conning the pocket cash out of unsuspecting rich folks with various sob stories and deceptions.
  
  Though not exactly book smart, Jed was always quite clever and charismatic, and he used these skills to con many a teacher into giving him a passing grade in school despite his abysmal performance--sometimes even decent grades. Decent enough to get him into university, where he studied finance in hopes of one day acquiring a white collar position to put his swindling skills and crooked sensibilities to good use. Unfortunately, higher education wasn't for Jed though, and he eventually dropped out before he could earn a degree.
  

  
  
  
  
  

  
  

  
  

  even later life

  
  

  
  

  Jed traveled around Europe for a while after he left uni, having fun hustling, gambling,
  and avoiding work at all costs. Now back in his hometown and in need of a place to stay, Jed had the good fortune to run into a friend from university, and reconnect with some mates he thought he'd never see again.

  Suprisingly neat and orderly for such a mess of a person. He gravitates towards a minimal style with clean lines and dark, neutral colors. Very little clutter or sentimental objects, due to both an aversion to allowing himself to get attached to others and a biproduct of having to pick up and leave at a moment's notice when some scam or grift has caught up with him.

Eyes

Teo has dark chocolate brown irises which tend to look darker (almost black) depending on the lighting. His eyes are almond shaped with a mono lid and aegyo sal presence.

Hair

Naturally, he has black silky locks. However, within the last few years - thanks to spiralling every so often - he has taken to bleaching the crap out of his hair (which, he'll admit, has probably killed his hair). Because everyone knows that with new hair comes a new season, right?

Body

Teo stands at 179 cms (5'11") and weighs a healthy 65 kilos. He has warm ivory skin, and a fast metabolism which helps to maintain his mesomorph body build. To avoid going home during his teen years, he was often seen walking or running around town which helped to maintain an exercise routine.

Tattoos

Once he turned eighteen, he went straight to the tattoo shop. Since then, he has collected a handful of tattoos. He has his Umma's birthday in roman numerals on his right arm, a rose on his left shoulder (his Umma's favourite flower), a crown above his left elbow on the inside of his arm, and a dagger on his chest, pointing downwards. He wants to get more in the future just because he likes the way tattoos look on people.

Face claim

Kim Woosung

The Campaigner

Teo is a true free spirit; outgoing, openhearted, and open-minded. With his lively, upbeat approach to life, he stands out in any crowd. But even though he can be the life of the party, he doesn’t just care about having a good time. He runs deep – as does his longing for meaningful, emotional connections with other people.

Friendly and outgoing, Teo is devoted to enriching his relationships and his social life. But beneath his sociable, easy-going exteriors, he has a rich, vibrant inner live as well. Without a healthy dose of imagination, creativity, and curiosity, he just simply wouldn’t be Teo that we all know and love.

In his own unique way, he can be quite introspective. He can’t help but ponder the deeper meaning and significance of life – even when he should be paying attention to something else. He believes that everything – and everyone – is connected, and lives for the glimmers of insight that he can gain into these connections.

When something sparks his imagination, Teo can show an enthusiasm that is nothing short of infectious. He radiates a positive energy that draws in other people and may find himself being held up by his peers as a leader or guru. But once the initial boom of inspiration wears off, Teo struggles with self-discipline and consistency, and loses steam on projects that once meant so much to him.

He is living proof that seeking out life’s joys and pleasures isn’t the same as being shallow. Seemingly in the blink of an eye, he can transform from a impassioned idealist to a carefree figure on the dance floor. Even in moments of fun, he wants to connect emotionally with others. Few things matter more to him than having genuine, heartfelt conversations with the people he cherishes. He believes that everyone deserves to express their feelings. With his empathy, Teo creates a warm space where even the timidest spirits can feel comfortable opening up.

Strengths

Teo tends to have a habit of doing and saying things before he filters them out in his head. Because of this, he is known for his witty, wise-cracking remarks and can be seen as someone who spends a lot of time “performing”. Teo is a curious soul, finding beauty and fascination in nearly everything and anything. Imaginative and open-minded, he isn’t afraid to venture beyond his comfort zone in search for new ideas, experiences and adventures. He is enthusiastic when things capture his imagination and inspires him; he just wants to share it with anyone who is willing to listen! And he’s just as eager to hear other people’s ideas and opinions – even if those thoughts are wildly different from his own. Teo may live for deep, meaningful conversations, but he can also be spontaneous and light-hearted. His festive nature brings out the fun and joy in the present moment – and few things gives him more pleasure than sharing his joy with others. Finally, Teo is good-natured. With all his strengths coming together, they form a person who is warm-hearted and approachable, with an altruistic spirit and friendly disposition. He strives to get along with pretty much everyone, and his circle of acquaintances and friends often stretch far and wide.

Weaknesses

While Teo can appear full of joy, he often struggles with his emotions. While emotional expression is healthy and natural, with Teo even viewing it as a core part of his identity, it can come out strongly enough to cause problems for him. Particularly when under stress, criticism or conflict, he experiences emotional bursts that are counter-productive at best. Teo is a people-pleaser; he can’t stand the thought of being disliked. To maintain the peace, he may even compromise on things that matter to him or allow other people to treat him poorly. And when he fails to win someone over, he loses sleep trying to figure out what to do about it. He can also be very unfocused when it comes to projects. While new projects – especially with other people – can bring out the best in him, Teo is known for having ever-evolving interests and finds it challenging to maintain discipline and focus over the long term. This leads to another weakness of his; disorganized. While is enthusiasm is legendary, it doesn’t extend to everything. He often avoids boring, practical matters (like cleaning his room for starters; sometimes you can barely walk in there). Finally, he is also restless; with his positive, upbeat attitude, Teo rarely shows or seems upset or dissatisfied on the outside. But his inner idealism can leave him with a nagging feeling that some major areas of his life just aren’t good enough. This often leads him to overthink things. Teo doesn’t take things at face value – he looks for underlying motives in even the simplest things. It’s not uncommon for him to lose a bit of sleep asking himself why someone did what they did, what it might mean, and what to do about it.

Hobbies

Going out and partying, drinking, playing guitar and singing, people watching, sky gazing

Bedroom decor

Teo’s bedroom resembles a teenager’s bedroom. Always just a little bit too dark, you have to create your own pathway by kicking the clothes off the floor, and you know that there’s at least eight dirty bowls somewhere in the room that has been there for a month and needs to be brought out to the kitchen. It’s clustered and an absolute mess; and for something that looks so lived in, Teo still barely sleeps in there. He is often found sleeping on the couch or trying to sneak into someone else’s bedroom so he doesn’t have to sleep alone. His walls are covered with various band posters and the odd painting here and there. His laundry basket has overflowed to the floor, and his bed never made. Its chaotic; but it makes sense to Teo.

Fears

Teo's number one fear - being alone. He hates being alone. He just wants someone to be with him constantly. What's even worse than feeling alone, is also feeling like he's unlovable. Since his Umma has gone, he feels like there's no one left in this world who can hold him and tell him everything will be alright like his Umma would. To avoid being alone, he often presents himself as this happy, outgoing guy so he can get the interest of those around him. He tries to make as many friends as possible so he doesn't have to deal with the thought that eventually, at the end of the day, he's going to have to be alone and face his demons by himself.

Quirks

Very fidgety (will bounce his leg up and down), will sit on a chair with his legs crossed over or pressed against his chest, and will comb his hands through his hair to help soothe his anxiety.

Love language

He has a physical touch love language. This means that if you want him to feel loved, put your hand on his shoulder when you talk to him. Offer him a cuddle when he's upset. Show love through your actions (and no, it's not just sex; it's holding his hand, running your fingers through his hair, patting him on the back).

trigger warning: domestic abuse

He was the child that was never meant to happen.

It had been three months since Angus Jones had his vasectomy when his wife, Choi Hye-Sung, discovered that she was with child. She was petrified to tell Angus as her husband was already in his late fifties and practically married to his job. In fact, when she finally told him the truth, they spent close to a week arguing over if she should have an abortion or not. Hye-Sung pleaded with her husband for them to keep the child. After all, she was still young and had always wanted to have children. Angus made it very clear to Hye-Sung that if she had the child, that he would have no responsibilities in raising him. As if the child was some dog and Hye-Sung was a child, begging for her parent for the pet. She agreed to his terms and conditions, vowing that she’d do everything for the child while also serving her husband like a wife should.

On the Fourteenth of April, at London Hospital, England, Teo Anthony Jones entered the world at 12:43pm. Angus was nowhere to be seen, stating that the cabinet that he was a shadow minister for needed him and he couldn’t take time off. In fact, it wasn’t until Teo was twelve days old that Angus finally met his son for the first time. Hye-Sung informed Angus that she gave him the middle name Anthony as it had been Angus’ father’s name. However, she had picked the name Teo as it was the closest English name to the Korean name she had given her son, Tae-Wook, that she had liked.

From the moment he was birthed, Teo spent every moment with his Umma. She never left his side; she cared for him as a mother and a father. Angus on the other hand… well, let’s not get into that.

In the early years of his life, there were a lot of memories that Teo blocked out. But there was one very distinct memory engraved into his mind. He could remember back when he was six years old. A very drunk Angus made him sit on the staircase with his hands underneath his bottom – so he was sitting on his hands – and told him to stay there. It had been almost an hour and every time he tried to move, it seemed that Angus had eyes everywhere.

Angus soon returned with Hye-Sung in tow, violently sobbing as her husband dragged her along by the elbow. Teo could remember Angus yelling at her and Hye-Sung being so upset that she could only respond in Korean. Therefore, Angus turned to Teo and told him to speak to his Umma. To translate to his Umma what he was saying and then to translate back to Angus what Hye-Sung was saying. It was an ongoing vicious cycle and he could remember feeling how stuck he felt in that very moment of time. How his hands ached from sitting on them for so long and how his Umma looked absolutely petrified at the man she claimed that she loved.

I suppose it was good that there were memories of his childhood that he blocked out if this was one of the more happier ones he could remember

lies.

trigger warning: abuse

There were a lot of hospital visits. And a lot of lying

As a child, Teo had always been so confused when his Umma lied to the doctors about how she or Teo was hurt. Apparently, Hye-Sung was very clumsy and tended to fall over a lot. In fact, she was convinced she had an inner ear infection that caused all these problems because she was forever being brought to the hospital with concussions and wounds. Teo, on the other hand, apparently was into sports. Played a lot of soccer which brought the broken bones and bloodied faces.

He would often wonder how long they would have to keep on lying before they were able to tell people that it was all the handy work of Angus Jones. In fact, he would often ask Umma why they had to lie about it. Hye-Sung would often reassure her son, telling him that if word got out about it, Angus would have some very bad reputation loaming over his head and it would risk his politician position and roles. But…wouldn't that be a good thing?

Even though Hye-Sung told everyone that she and Angus were in a very happy marriage, Teo always wondered why his Umma just didn’t leave Angus. They didn’t even sleep in the same bed anymore. From when Teo was three, Hye-sung would come into his room and sleep in his bed with him. When Angus would make a big deal about it, she would simply say that Teo had nightmares and couldn’t sleep at night. Another lie. But at least it made Teo feel safe knowing his Umma was by his side.

When Teo was thirteen years old, their family from Korea came for a visit with his baby cousin. Well, that was a huge mess. It was literally the week from hell. Hye-Sung’s parents tried to convince her to come back home with Teo – back to Korea – but she refused. She said that Teo would have a better life here. That there were more opportunities for him rather than in Korea. Once again, another lie. Angus discovered what Hye-Sung’s parents were up to and practically roared at them. He told them that if they ever came close to Hye-Sung or Teo, that he would call the police and have them arrested. That was the last time Teo ever saw his grandparents. And since that day, he has always wondered what life would’ve been like had he gone back to Korea with them.

life goes on.

Now puberty. It’s never fun for anyone. And it was no exception for Teo.

As he grew older, he began to really see how little his father was involved in his life. When he asked him if he could talk to him, Angus would always brush him off and tell him to go and see his Umma instead. It also occurred to him that maybe his father wasn’t the best role model from the way he spoke to them and treated them.

The hospital visits and lying was still very regular.

Teo was sixteen years old when he broke his wrist for the third time during a fight with Angus. He could remember being in such unbearable pain that the doctors prescribed him with oxycodone. Well, that was a stupid mistake on their behalf. It was the first time any doctors had prescribed him with any medicine for him to be in charge of. After one taste of the oxycodone, he was hooked. It was like a high he had never experienced before. All of his troubles and worries seemed to fly away in a second. With each passing moment, he anxiously waited until he could take some more and just fly away from it all. He could barely go a week without needing it in his system to numb the pain in life. But the crave and need for it went up as the months went by. By the time of his eighteenth birthday, he was relying on one a day. He was somewhat thankful for the hospital trips with his Umma as it gave him the perfect opportunity to venture through and steal some more painkillers.

One night, a few months shy of his nineteenth birthday, Teo returned home to find his Umma in a pile of blood, her body still and cold. He tried all that he could to help her but it seemed as it was too late. After a trip to the hospital, it was confirmed that Hye-Sung had fallen down the stairs and died from blood loss. Now, considering her past hospital records, the doctors saw no foul play. They only saw a very clumsy woman, who finally fell to her death because there was no one home.

That’s when he began to struggle to sleep. His Umma wasn’t sleeping next to him like usual and he missed her beyond belief. He had now become Angus’ only target and every time his father looked at him, he would often scream about how he looked just like Hye-Sung. The abuse and insomnia began to take a crippling hold over his life that he decided that there was no point in living anymore. He attempted to take his own life by taking a full packet of the counter pain killers. However, he had failed. And found himself getting his stomach pumped. The hospital questioned him about his bruised face and why he felt the need to take his life. But he just responded with what his Umma always told him to do; he lied. And continued to lie.

Throughout his time in hospital as he recovered, Angus never once came to visit his son. In fact, he sent one of his assistances to come and speak to his son. He was handed a credit card and was simply told you move out next weekend. His father was kicking him out, but giving him a credit card to cover all expenses. There was one catch though; he had to stay out of the public eye. Go under the radar from the press. He had to tell everyone that he wasn't the son of Angus Jones. And he had to ensure never to contact Angus, regardless of what was happening. It almost seemed like it was too good to be true. He was finally able to start living life on his own.

NAME

Matteo Vela​

AGE (21-23)

22​

ROLE

Upper Class​

PERSONALITY

A chicken nugget kid who never grew out of it, Matteo can be the sweetest person you know or just a fly on the wall. He likes being underestimated although most people can read him like a book after being noticed. If there isn't a smile on Matteo's face it means he's too deep in thought to notice anything other than what's on his mind. Matteo is reliable like a puppy, and will always overdo what is asked "just in case". With his almost endless amount of money and willing to please anyone NOT his parents, he is stretched thin on his schedule but he'll never say no to a request.
> Openly pansexual and panromantic since 16. Spanish tabloids outed him at the age of 16 during his summer break in Tampa. "It's cool now."
> There's a blog out there that's keeping track of his dating history. That's a lot of time on their hands.
​

APPEARANCE

He has too many black shirt in his closet and called it good to go. Although his father hates his long hair, Matteo loves to make a cute swoop of his hair every morning and see how crazy it gets at the end of the day. Purposeful, comfort, disheveled are Matteo's three "aesthetic" words as his mother described him one at a dinner party and she wasn't wrong? Matteo keeps himself clean shaven (usually) and has no tattoos.​

BRIEF HISTORY

"Middle child syndrome has it's perks." Matteo's parents were not expecting him to be born in their summer home in Florida, USA. Roberto Vela, a well known business executive for car exports, and Mara Salena, the editor-in-chief for Vogue Espana, thought their second child would wait a few weeks to be born in the traditional Vela mansion like so many children before him. From the beginning, Matteo always pushed his parents' comfort zone. A serious family with serious dreams, Matteo always went the other way from their expectations. All of the Vela children have duel citizenship of the States and Spain but only Matteo likes being in the gun-tooting country, specifically his birthplace of Florida. Every summer break, he stays in Miami to catch up with his American friends and be the most self-efficient kid his parents have.

Although he's the happiest black sheep in his family, Matteo still respects his father and his wishes - he's just sneaky about the things he's doing on the downlow. He agreed to get his degree in the UK instead of going to Florida like he dreamed but his father assumed he would get a degree in Business. Oh how he was surprised to find out Matteo wasted his prime years of education to get a Music Engineering degree instead. The two had a screaming match that lead to his mother crying and Matteo crushed by his father's words. "You don't matter to me, I have a good son already." Matteo hasn't talked to his father in six months when his brother, Roberto Jr., announced his run for Senate. It was late at night in his apartment in Madrid when his mother came to him, sunglasses on and a shawl to hide her face "just in case". She propositioned Matteo to move back to the UK to disappear "for just a little while" until his brother won the election. In exchange, she'll give him money weekly to stay quiet and not make any noise.
> Was once arrested at 14 in Fort Lauderdale for graffitiing the outside of a Neiman Marcus.
> Is jealous of his older brother for having 4 dogs. He can't even convince mom to get a goldfish!
> Writes music under a pseudonym to prove to himself he's good at something - anything. He makes just enough to avoid grocery shopping.​

HOW WOULD THEY DECORATE THEIR BEDROOM IN THE APARTMENT (describe)

Someone at the farmers market once told Matteo that plants purifies the air and he's taken it very seriously ever since. His room is cluttered with them and his smart lightbulbs are always set to red for them to grow. He definitely has one of those Ikea hack greenhouses and is so proud he built the whole thing himself. The walls of his room is plastered with posters and flyers he's seen around the city that looked cool. His prized item is an American "Road work ahead" sign he found and you bet he always says the punchline, "I sure hope it does!".
Music is a priority for Matteo so his bookshelves display all his college textbooks nicely with pride. He has a plethora of record vinyl and a too nice sound system for his record player for someone who listens to it with headphones to not annoy his roommates.​

WHAT DID THEY STUDY AT UNIVERSITY

Music Engineering.​

CURRENT OCCUPATION

Freelance Music Engineer. He's making some pretty good tunes with popular names on the radio and online.
