(RIZ AHMED + CISMAN + HE / HIM ) ⸻ meet RAYAN RAFIQ. the owner at glen ellen's drive-in movie theater is glen ellen's very own DEADPAN SNARKER, who has been in town for his whole life. while they are only thirty nine, they can be very UNNERVING but if their friends mentioned them, you'd think they were more ZEALOUS. in a town where everyone knows everyone, it's hard to keep a secret, but i think the killer knows that [ REDACTED ] and it's bound to get out sometime soon.

family: he has aunts & uncles & cousins & other relations spread out over the us, the uk, and the middle east. only his mother is local, and still living. his twin sister has 2 sons, and they lives in london with her husband.

backstory:

born one half of a whole, rayan && his twin were 2nd generation immigrants born && raised right in glen ellen. unlike his sister, who left across the pond london-bound the moment they turned 18, rayan remained and holds a strong love for the town in his heart, despite it's tragedies.

his biggest secret vice was horror movies && horror comics at an early age - forbidden in his household, he went to friends houses && stayed up, peering around corners to indulge every chance he got.

it turned into a fullblown movie addiction, one that could not be tamed. he barely graduated highschool, and it was somewhere between 16-18 that his parents gave up trying to control him, and let him be the eccentric guy that he was meant to be.

while his sister was getting married, having her first child, and progressing in her career overseas, rayan was working at the movie rental store, delivering pizza, and mostly still living at home. it worked out, as he was able to care for his elderly father as his health worsened.

five years ago, rayan snapped - it came along with the death of his father, and the birth of his 2nd nephew, his sister now a happy mother of two. he bought the run-down, dilapidated drive-in theater and decided to restore it, make it a shining gem again.

it took two years, and all his cash and his time, but rayan did it. the drive-in had it's official opening three years ago, and has been going strong since then, and is basically his entire life. he practically lives there; and maintains it almost completely on his own, having learned construction, electrical, and plumbing from youtube mostly.

there is always something going wrong, though, he really isn't all that good at diy.
