#𝚃𝚁𝙸𝙶𝙶𝙴𝚁𝚂 : mentions of addiction , alcohol abuse , drug use & infidelity .

* 𝙷𝙴𝚈 𝙰𝙻𝙻 𝚈𝙾𝚄 𝙲𝙾𝙾𝙻 𝙲𝙰𝚃𝚂 & 𝙺𝙸𝚃𝚃𝙴𝙽𝚂 hehe . the name's sydney .. i'm a twenty1 y/o , residing in the est timezone & i use she / her pronouns ! it's been a hot min since i've been in a group setting , i was in the indie world for quite some time & took a break so apologies in advance for the piece of cr*p you're about to read ⸺ fr , don't say i didn't warn ya . anywho , let's get on with it ⸺ down below , you'll find out more about my troublesome son , rafe !

( xavier serrano , cis man , he/him , 25 ) $$$ — i'm pretty sure i just saw RAFAEL ' RAFE ' KNOX headed out of the estate . it's weird though … i didn't see them with their HANGOVER SHADES . i didn't know they left the house without it . i feel like i can never catch them ; they're always so busy … guess that makes sense since they're an ACTOR . have you met them yet ? they live in MAGNOLIA LANE , so you might've missed them . i think you'd like them a lot , actually . i swear their aura is RED , and that seems like your vibe . maybe you'll get lucky and run into them sometime . i can always tell when they're coming up the hill ‘cause they're constantly blasting THE HILLS by THE WEEKND … it's pretty much their anthem at this point , so if you hear it , you'll know they're around . y'know , the other day , i saw a tabloid with them on the front page that said " TROUBLE FINDS HIM YET AGAIN : ACTOR RAFE KNOX IS IN HOT WATER AFTER ALLEGEDLY ENGAGING IN BAR BRAWL . “ … do you think that's true ? guess we'll see what the neighborhood watch thinks ! ( zac efron + paul wesley )

family ; it's a touchy subject for you , isn't it ? you keep your private life separate from your work life , often waving off questions that pertain to family or rather lack thereof . what you've left behind in the past . documents containing any personal information surrounding your true identity have been tucked away & sealed .

you've got your father's looks , charisma & even name . he was once an actor , a heartthrob from the '80s .. turned washed - up after hitting his prime & no longer receiving any work . this caused him to turn to alcohol , drugs , which later led to addiction .. he became the laughing stock of the media .

this caused issues for the young couple & would become the topic of every fight .. it wasn't until carmen moretti , your mother , gave him an ultimatum ⸺ it was either get clean & sober or he'd lose his family . he chose sobriety , enlisting himself into therapy & rehab . for a while , he was doing good .. he even started getting back into acting , but it seemed old habits died hard . between his relapse & the discovery of an affair with his sober coach , carmen kicked his ass to the curb .

like most children when their parents split , they find someone to blame ; you blamed your mother for your father leaving . you've said some pretty hurtful things over the years , things you can't take back . you were the cause of every relationship that she had's destruction . men didn't seem to stick around too long due to your tactics . i think part of you was hoping there would be some sort of reconciliation between your parents .

there was one ( 1 ) man that you couldn't manage to scare away .. prescott holbrook , a business magnate & investor ( think el*n m*sk but .. tolerable & handsome ) . you can't remember the details , but apparently , they met at a gathering hosted by mutual friends & it was love - at - first - sight , v much giving wattpad story vibes . anywho , they ended up eloping after a month of knowing each other & just last year , they celebrated fifteen years . you've never seen eye to eye , but you can tell how much happier your mom is & he does seem to care about you , as if you were one of his own ..

at the shy age of seven , a casting director was scouting the area for a young boy to play young simon tam & plucked you from the crowd . you were said to be a natural & after doing just that one project .. you decided that this is something you want to do for the rest of your life .

you've done small roles here & there for the next seven years up until the age of fifteen .. when an opportunity of a lifetime came , your shot to fame , your breakout ; you've been casted as troy bolton in the upcoming high school musical trilogy .

because of your affiliation with disney , it was difficult getting casted for roles . no one really wanted to take a chance on you , no one quite took you seriously as an actor . though , luckily , you managed to prove people wrong .. 17 again was your first movie after your disney departure . from there on , you slowly grew to become one of hollywood's new it boys .

rafe's first two roles were left uncredited . because of that , many seem to think his debut was summerland .

he's not really sure how rafe knox came to be .. i guess , it was when he realized what a pos , deadbeat his dad really was & he opted for a name change . he switched his middle name to his first & knox seemed to have a ring to it .

originally auditioned for the role of damon salvatore but casting felt like he'd be a better fit for the other brother 🤦🏻‍♀️ .. ( why ? idk idk 🤷🏻‍♀️ pester j*lie pl*c abt it ) . the show's first season premiered in the winter of this year , they're currently wrapping up season two , which is set to air in the fall .

relationships never seemed to work out , not because he's afraid of commitment , but because he's always working . its caused quite some issues in the past , his past partners have mentioned they've felt neglected .. which is why he tends to refrain from jumping into anything too serious / long - term . he very much prefers flings , playing the field .

biggest fear is probably ending up like his dad , which is funny ( not really ) because with the rate that he's going at , he's slowly morphing into him . this is actually one of the reasons why he's estranged from his mother , he hasn't communicated with her in years .. he's partially embarrassed because he's basically his dad 2.0 & he doesn't want to face her , disappoint her .

he's never been keen on talking about his feelings .. he'd rather bottle them all up , drink them away , literally do anything other than spill his guts out to another being . he doesn't like people seeing him vulnerable , it's encrypted in his mind that it's a sign of weakness .

deep down , despite what the media / tabloids say .. rafe does have a good heart . he often donates to many organizations / charities , usually under anonymous .

rafe does have a scar under his left collarbone , a result of a scuffle between him & one of his mom's past boyfriends .

while he's made comments in the past that could be considered as disses .. he'll always be grateful for his time on disney & hsm will always hold a special place in his heart . i think a part of him was embarrassed back then but he's embraced it & honestly ? he's not sure if he would be where he's at today , had he not have gotten the role of beloved troy bolton .

everyone that has ties to disney / nick seems to have come out screwed up , whether it's dealing with mental health battles , addictions , etc .. rafe , like most kids , got lured in & did drugs during the hsm era . he's been very open about the effects of peer pressure & regrets even indulging in substances . he's currently on the path of sobriety , but it's a struggle ..

as of 2021 , roughly 12% of the world is a leftie ── rafe is included in the population !

love language : bullying .

knows how to play guitar , taught himself actually . he's definitely not by any means a pro , despite saying / thinking otherwise !
