[ alex fitzalan, cis male, he / him ]. hey, is that [ jordan reeves ]? i figured it was them because they’ve been blaring [ fairly local by twenty one pilots ] all day. i hear they’re still living in [ mountainside village ]. everyone says they’re [ hedonistic & supercilious ], but i think they’re [ resolute & urbane ]. whenever i see them, i think of [ crisp white shirts with the sleeves rolled up, calloused fingertips riddled with paper cuts, & a subtle smirk under stormy eyes ].  

hey, hi, hello! i’m chrissie and i’m super duper excited to be here n plot with you all : ) this is my trash kid and troubled son jordan. he’s honestly the worst but like he’s secretly a marshmallow under the surface, he just doesn’t ever show it. he feels like he’s the worst so he acts like he’s the best lmao he’s a very direct, aloof, deadpan snarker and carries around a lot of trauma and anger but is always up for a good time. he also has major daddy issues, like wow. feel free to hmu for plots and connections or light up that lil grey heart n i’ll shimmy myself into your ims! 

the basics.

JORDAN OLIVER REEVES     —     twenty-five, aries, the arcane, struggling musician   +   part-time writer !

possible triggers   :   infidelity, divorce, alcoholism, drug abuse, cancer, death, car crash, funeral.

tl;dr.     ah, here he is��my tol, troubled, grouchy son : ' ) don't u just adore ur resident trashy, snarky, but precious and sad fuckboi muse? bc i know I DO! anyways, before i digress, i'll cut to the chase. so, the reeves family: a line of manhattan-born businessmen / lawyers / diplomats etc. they're dripping in wealth, not always as squeaky clean as they portray themselves as to be. jordan’s dad was a douche, expected both of his sons to follow in his shadow and become lawyers, ran around behind his wife's back: the whole shoot and shebang of a classic a-hole. he always kind of ignored jordan in favour of his eldest son so jordan kinda became hard-hearted and resentful due to the lack of his father's attention. skip a few years and jordan spied his dad cheating on his mother with his secretary though he refused to tell another soul for fear of any potential backlash. soon enough, his mother found this out for herself, their argument ruined jordan’s thirteenth birthday party then they divorced soon after. his mother fell off the wagon, became terminally ill—all while his father was remarrying and expecting a daughter with his secretary. it was a hella rough two years for jordan. it got even worse. eventually, his mother passed away and his step-mother divorced his father to breeze off into the sunset with her new lover; leaving her daughter with her piss-poor excuse of a dad. at this point, jordan was lonely and angry but adopted the role of his step-sister's protector, shielding her from their father's increasing substance abuse induced violence. just before his seventeenth birthday, his father died in a car crash. of course, jordan didn't entirely mourn the loss. almost immediately, he and his younger sister moved in with their elder brother who helped jordan get into university. with dear ole dad out of the picture, he could finally pursue his interest and flair for music. after he graduated, he moved to stowe, pennsylvania with his brother and brother's family which is where he’s been living for the last few years. he's kinda ... struggling to break into the music industry but lord knows he tries his best. gold star for him, no? he plays a few gigs here and there, he gets by, makes the most of what cards the big bad world has dealt him. on the side, he writes occasional pieces for the local paper to aid in tiding him along. he's a determined son of a gun, we have to give him that! he isn't as cutthroat or ruthless as his father and uncles ( and, to a degree, even his brother ) but he does have trust issues and keeps everyone at arm's length hence his rather promiscuous background, oop? deep down, he has a good heart even if he does seem like a distant asshole on the surface. but, hey! he learned how to perfect a façade from the best—cheers papa reeves!

random extras.

he’s pretty nifty with his fists.

although he comes across as cocky and full of it, his mental health isn’t actually the best which is why he sometimes seems to fall off the face of the earth and sometimes becomes distant and aloof.

loves horror movies.

tends to repress his emotions until he explodes.

healthy coping mechanisms?? he doesn’t know them.

doesn’t fully trust anybody.

the only person he’s ever truly hated was his father.

is actually really kind and compassionate underneath.

is prone to pushing the self destruct button.

suffers from severe insomnia. legit only sleeps two or three hours a night, if he’s lucky.

low key afraid of cats but its cool, he’s a dog person anyway.

comes across as a narcissistic douchebag but that’s just what he wants you to think.

favourite coping mechanism? isolation.

is a little snarky and grumpy but if you manage to break this exterior, you’ll find he’s quite witty and easy going.

wanted plots.

ok so bc i have like two brain cells ( three on a good day, which, i admit, is rare ) i’m terrible at coming up with plots / connections but i’ve listed a few that i’d love to play out and develop!

naturally, i’d love to explore the pre-established connections for olivia and lyndsey and see what we could come up with to deepen those!

a best pal: someone he could trust, confide in and actually be 100% himself around.

friendship bonds: ex-friends, exes who are now friends, frenemies, fwbs, a secret friend from cumberland hills.

romantic bonds: exes of all kinds, secret hookups, former hookups, current hookups, past flings.

hostile bonds: enemies and rivals, friendships that have turned sour for whatever reason, clashes of personalities.

basically anything and everything pls n thank u! <3

“But the hearts of small children are delicate organs. A cruel beginning in this world can twist them into curious shapes. The heart of a hurt child can shrink so that forever afterward it is hard and pitted as the seed of a peach. Or again, the heart of such a child may fester and swell until it is a misery to carry within the body, easily chafed and hurt by the most ordinary things.” ― Carson McCullers, The Ballad of the Sad Café and Other Stories
