- the chicago resident , oliver farrow , was heard blaring i'm still your boy by luke hemmings this morning . the twenty-seven year old is a sports journalist in the city & has lived the west tower for 4 years . since being here , they have been told to be - melancholic , but also + adventurous , i guess we'll find out soon !

name: oliver farrow nickname: ol, olive, ollie birthplace: denver , co birthday: august 13th 1997 zodiac: leo gender: cis man pronouns: he/him sexual orientation: bisexual occupation: sports journalist ( retired pro snow boarder ) likes: romance novels, live music, the color blue, jumping head first into everything , stargazing after a bad day , the smell of a new book , kisses that are meant to shut you up , his baby blue jeep , singing in the shower when he thinks no one is listening. dislikes: math , arrogant people , the taste of a martini , having his competence questioned, when people walk away in the middle of an argument , family dinners , going to the airport. character inspo: dante quintana ( aristotle & dante discover the sevrets of the universe ) , clint barton ( marvel ) , cam saunders ( degrassi ) , mako ( legend of korra ) . )

𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆

oliver was born and raised in denver, colorado . as the son of a political analyst and lawyer, he's always known a life of privilege. at seven years old he stole a lunch tray from the cafeteria and used it to slide down a mountain in his backyard, as he sat in the emergency room with a cast on his arm he decided that he would dedicate his life to snowboarding.

with his parent's resources, the young thrill seeker spent his afternoons on a mountain training with the best coach money could buy. by age 12 he had several medals under his belt, and by 15 he was training to make his debut at the junior olympics. brands started knocking on his door and before he knew it sports illustrated dubbed him a rising star . much to everyone's surprise fame didn't seem to affect the teen , he was good in front of a camera but once the flashes died he retreated inside of himself.

as a kid who was often neglected due to his parent's work , oliver found comfort in the pages of various romance novels his nanny used to lend him . when he was sixteen a ray of light came into his life, a boy his age that attended the same gym. behind his conservative parents backs, he discovered that he was bisexual. what was supposed to be a secret romance came to light after someone leaked the story to a sports magazine. it's no coincidence that the day after a large sum of money was withdrawn from the farrow's bank account the boy he'd grown so fond of moved away and blocked his phone number.

by age 20 he scored a gold medal for the united states , making him one of the most famous athletes in the country. it seemed that oliver had all the cards stacked in his favor - never mind the fact that his relationship with his parents sucked or that people only approached him because they wanted a piece of him - no one could deny he was at the best anyone had seen in years.

four years after his big win, oliver was getting ready for his second shot at a medal when he got into an accident that would alter the course of his life. he remembers his heart pounding inside his helmet, the white that decorated the track as he soared, and the moment everything went black. three surgeries and a busted hip later the doctors told him he would never compete again

devastation came without precursor , what he loved the most suddenly ripped from his grasp. he moved to chicago for a fresh start and scored a job as a sports journalist. the glass has never been half full for the farrow boy and with anger as his new best friend he's trying to find a way to live in this new reality.

luca met both andrea and oliver in the same night when he had decided to run away from his foster home in brazil, they were also two dumb teenagers running away from their small town, andrea running towards her dreams of becoming a singer, oliver running away from a homophobic father. they met in a run down bus station, they lay on the floor of that station talking all night, then got on the first bus that pulled up together, then the rest was history, they got an apartment together in spain, luca and ollie fell fast in love,

andrea went on to get signed with one of europes biggest music recording labels, he still talks to her every single day. ollie went missing over a year ago when he went out to work a sketchy job, the cops believe him to be dead, but luca still believes his first true love is still out there. it still haunts him to this day that he hasn't found him yet.

We look forward to building on the success of this year's event in London, and recognising the hard work and amazing representation that the trade association delivered throughout the pandemic for the hospitality and night time economy sector across the UK.”

 Sacha Lord Night Time Economy Adviser, Co-founder The Warehouse Project/ Parklife

“Throughout the Covid period, the NTIA became the biggest voice for nightlife across the UK, so much so, it was an honour when I was invited to become Chair. I’m delighted they have decided to uproot and choose Greater Manchester for the next Summit, in 2024. It will be the biggest to date, in a city region where it has been said, tables were made for dancing on.”

Conner Gets a Dad (Kind of)

by Varmint

Oliver laughed and shook his head, letting out a sighed, "Kids." that made Greg glare over at him before he too sighed and nodded along with him.

Things weren't perfect.

He was here for Conner, but had been able to do so only after he had told Lex that they would have to leave their long awaited reunion for the next week because he couldn't possibly leave Ollie and Dinah alone with the teenaged hellions known as Young Justice. His life was hectic and his schedule was always jam packed now and he was struggling to keep a proper balance to all facets of his life.

But he wasn't about to lie to himself and say he regretted anything.

When Conner stepped out and came straight to him to offer him the first drink to be handed out, he got all of the validation he needed to know that he was doing the right thing.

OR!

Lex Luthor doesn't try to hide Conner from Greg.

Greg was made to be a parent.

[vaguelyhumanshaped]

These are my 2AM fearsonas. I regret everything nothing.

More beneath the cut!

The Buried:

Jacob Wallace//Bog Mummy Cryptid Man

He sings people to their boggy deaths, like a stinky, peaty siren. Or Hozier.

Favorite song: Hozier - In A Week

The Corruption:

Cassidy Haskill//My Ladybug Love

She’s adorable and I love her with my whole heart.

Favorite Song: Tally Hall - All of My Friends

The Dark

Clementine Stevens//Half-faced Wanderer of the Night

She walks the night lit only by her candle.

I’m not actually 100% set on her name + story, if anyone wants to give suggestions, I’m willing to hear them

Favorite song: Ollie MN - Friendly Dark

The Desolation

Markus Winter//The Guy Who Plays Guitar Next To The Fire At The Party

His whole deal is he goes to parties, plays songs until someone gets angry and fights him, at which point he chucks something they care abt in the fire, ie. jackets, hats, jewelry. faces.

Favorite Song: Hozier - Would That I

The End

Piper Inglis//She’s a florist

She’s the owner of a little flower shop, who often does business with morgues in her area, but don’t worry about that, she’s lovely.

The Eye

Jackson Hill//Professional Photographer, Cinematographer and Model

Who said that being a avatar of the eye meant being a nerd? No one did, but just for the record he’s not a nerd, he’s cool. Also he has an eye tattoo over his alopoecia because I’m projecting, what of it?

Favorite Song: Lady Gaga - Paparazzi

The Flesh

Anna Thomas//The

Worst

Best Chiropractor In The World

Do your bones need cracking? She’ll snap you like a twig and you’ll probably like it. If not, back pains will be the least of your worries.

Favorite song: The Killers - Bones

The Hunt

Flora Saunders//Because Cute Butch Is Peak Hunt Design and the only one I’ll ever make

Yes, I’m a fan of cute girls. Yes, I think the goddess Artemis is a badass. Yes, both of those facts may have influenced my design process on this one. No, I am not taking any questions abt it.

Favorite Song: girl in red - girls

The Lonely

Jenna Graham//The Wallflower of The Lonely

You know that mood when you feel alone, even when you’re surrounded by people? Of seeing happy smiley faces singing sweetly while you stand in the corner, or play with a cat or hide while the world keeps spinning around you? Yeah, that’s her vibe. Also, she vapes.

Favorite Song: Mitski - Nobody

The Slaughter

Paula Mignon//Basically Sweeny Todd and Miss Lovett in One But Cute

She owns a little bakery and makes pies. She’s wonderful and sweet and tries only to bake the rude customers into pies to feed to more rude customers. She tries okay?

The Spiral

Danny Harris//Claymation Man

The worker of clay but like, what if a shithead adolescent. And also just completely malleable.

Favorite Song: LCD Soundsystem - I Can Change

Two Face//The Keeper of Doors

Y’know that character that’s like, one head only tells lies, one only tells truths, well that but both and they’re awful and I love them

Favorite Song: Tally Hall - &

The Stranger

Sam James//Caricaturist

Originally they were a toymaker that made really unsettling toys that resembled people, and then i thought abt caricature and how caricatures are just drawings of people that exaggerate proportions until they look less like people and thats that on that.

Favorite Song: Jack Stauber - My Plea

The Vast

Cameron Gillis//The Ferryman of The Pacific

She’s a tour guide who can only take small tours around, but who takes very little for her services. “I do it ‘cause I love these islands, this ocean and I want you to see it too.” She tours around deserted islands, and then when they want to get off the boat to take pictures, she deserts them.

Bonus Entity: The Extinction
