-- What up demons, it’s me, ya girl bee !! I’m so messy with intros but let’s give this a try. So intros are weird like do I have any fun facts ??? No I’m boring as hell, like I’m here for a good picnic and a good book and honestly I’m obsessed with italy, like I’m legit majoring in it because idk what I want to do in life besides live in italy. Anywayssss this is my boi sterling. warning I use the work boi many times in this intro sry not sry

( thomas doherty. 23. cismale. he/him. ) ❛ sterling davis, a cancer from florance, italy, moved into holloway three years ago. they are a freelance writer that lives in apartment 2d here and their neighbors don’t particularly mind them. some say they can be impetuous and blunt but others say they’re empathetic and vehement. anyways, one thing is for sure: you hear good day by DNCE, it’s sterling blasting it.

brief rundown on his history because I’m shit at this

So your boi Sterling and his twin sister were born in early july in a local Brooklyn hospital to two very loving parents.

His mom is a pretty famous novelist and once her books got big they moved to chelsea and lived there till they were 13 and she decided to move to italy for research for her new novel.

So off to Florence they went and it changed his life forever

at some point he fell deeply in love and they were together until he went through this major existential life crisis and decided it would be best to go back to his roots and try and find himself again

part of this crisis may or may not have to do with being involved with a hit and run and even though he wasn’t the one driving he was and is still consumed with guilt

also felt like he lost part of himself in his relationship, which tbh made it even harder to leave

He followed in his mother’s footsteps and became a writer. He never got an actual degree too busy being in love and bullshit to go to uni so getting a full time writing job has been a struggle but he’s killing it with the freelance stuff

He’s been at the holloway for 3 years now and has really set some roots here like this is so much just home for him, he feels so safe to explore who he is and really find himself.

ok personality time:

this boy is a motherfucking water sign if I ever did see one. Emotions for every fucking day of the week and they really do get the best of him

he falls in and out of love very easily but oh man when he really falls falls it’s hard and deep and can be all consuming so he’s quite wary of relationships but lets be real hes an emotional slut and can’t stay out of a relationship for long especially after the one in italy but also he just wants to be loved. But let’s not lie he def jumped into a relationship asap when he moved because he had been with someone for so long he like did not know how to be single and comfortable with it

he is not good at excepting blame but is lowkey weighed down by guilt all the time even if he won’t admit it’s his fault and then his subconscious feels guilty for that too

he’s a loyal boi like once he cares about you, which usually happens pretty fast, he will protect and love you. Like if you need a shoulder to cry on, he’s your boi

Honestly, hates being alone, can’t stand too much quiet time unless he’s writing or painting or reading which is really all just distractions if you think about it. Other than that he just wants to be with others. He even hates sleeping alone like he’ll hook up with people just so there’s someone on the other side of the bed

oh and did I mention he plays guitar cause he does and he uses it to lure people to him at parties or parks or anywhere with people

Remember when I said he like doesn’t take the blame ??? Well in true water sign fashion he will do his best to make it seem like it was all your fault

He is literally the worst at accepting his flaws because he knows if he were to take a good honest look in the mirror he probably wouldn’t like the person he saw

sometimes he tries to play off like he’s a cold boi but he’s really a soft boi and it really shows

fun facts:

has a cacti and succulent collection and he names them all

he has a black cat named salem cause he’s a basic hoe

always down to read your tarot spread

tbh may be dabbling in some wicca stuff lets see where that goes

he speaks fluent italian... duh

would live in a library if he could especially if someone was there to hold his hand while they read together

he plays guitar and piano because his mom insisted he was cultured and well rounded, also a v good cook cause of these beliefs too

you can find my wc right here !! but I’m always down to brain storm I just want to plot with all of you and love you all !!

( kennedy walsh. twenty. cisfemale. she/her. ) ❛ jessica o’niell, a cancer from camden, maine, moved into holloway one year ago. they are a college student & aspiring singer that lives in apartment 4b and their neighbors don’t particularly mind them. some say they can be -self-doubting and -impetuous but others say they’re +warm-hearted and +effulgent. anyways, one thing is for sure: you hear i don’t exist by olivia o’brien, it’s jess blasting it. 

it’s me again. back at it with another child!!! but if you’re reading this intro before luciano’s...i’m bronny, i’m 22, i’m from new zealand and all you really need to know is that i love my children luciano & jess.

i can’t say jess’s intro is as great as luciano’s but that’s mostly because she’s a newer oc and there’s really just a jumble of ideas about her background floating around in my head. but again, i’ll stop rambling and get on with the intro!!!

JESSICA O’NIELL

jessica o’niell wasn’t exactly planned, you see—she was a product of a romance during the summer after both had graduated high school. but no matter what, jess’s mother adored the little girl from the moment she entered into this world and for the first few years of her life, so did her father.

jess’ mother never fully explained what had happened, but all jess knew was that when she was 2, her father never came home one day. he was there one day and the next gone. birthday cards, weekly money and the photos of him with her when she was young was the only thing she had left of him.

throughout her childhood, her father’s absence wasn’t that big of a deal. jess had her mother and that’s all she really needed—all she really knew or remembered. she may be her mother but she was also her best friend, she really doesn’t know where she would be without her.

BUT!! even though she knows her mum loves her and she loves her mother more than anything, their relationship is a little more complicated. there have been times in her life where her mother has felt more like a big sister rather than a mother to her. maybe it’s the fact her mother’s only 38 ( if i did the maths correctly that is ) that plays a big part in it. not to mention it’s not a rare thing for jess to feel as if her mother puts her many and frequent boyfriends before her.

it wasn’t until jess was around 15 that she really started asking questions about her father—and to this day, she wished she’d just taken her mother’s advice and left it. but her being her curious and impulsive self, she needed to know. because what she found was something no one should have to face. finding out that your father has a new loving, happy family well underway while he left you behind? she couldn’t believe it. it broke her heart and a part of herself.

since that day, she’s never felt good enough—for anything.

on the outside, the girl is a ray of sunshine and only wants the best in the world for everyone. but buried deep down is a girl with deep trust issues & the horrible feeling of not being good enough. if her own father couldn’t love her? well….she felt as if there was something wrong with her? 

it even transferred into a part of her life that meant the world to her—music.

music had been her one true passion for as long as she could remember. her fondest memory is when her grandmother brought her a piano for her 12th birthday. it was all she’d ever wanted to do in life—it was a big dream, sure, but her mother and grandparents always encouraged her and she once believed it was possible. but after finding out about her father, her self-belief faltered.

she put herself in the background of a lot of things and hardly let anyone hear her play one of the many instruments she’d learnt how to play. but she especially didn’t let anyone hear her sing.

it wasn’t until her acceptance letter into juilliard came through that pushed her into opening up a bit more. she hadn’t thought she would be accepted. she had convinced herself that she wouldn’t. so the acceptance letter was the first step in the direction of her starting to believe that she really did have some talent.

moving away from her mother was one of the hardest things she’d done in her life but it was also one of the best things she’s ever done.

she started off in the juilliard dorms but eventually moved out a year ago and into holloways. there’s definitley still some underlying problems left over from her father but she’s quite positive in where she is at the moment. not to mention, she’s even gotten a few little gigs at bars & clubs singing and they haven’t been a complete disaster. she’s really just taking life one step at a time and trying to focus on the good things in her life. 

jess is well and truly attempting the faking it until she makes it!!!

EXTRAS

her pinterest board can be found here!!!

her voice claim is olivia o’brien :’)

she has 1 cat ( a little rescue tabby ) called kovu and she ADORES him

she taught said cat to be on a harness.

would literally be happy to go and live in a cabin in the woods. she loves the outdoors, nature & going on road trips ( bringing kovu along - hence the need to teach him to be on a lead ).

probably currently obsessed with our planet on netflix, definitley the one that gets up when things go wrong for the animals.

thanks to friends made at juilliard, jess has managed to record a few of her songs and is currently one of the artists trialing the ‘upload beta/spotify for artists’ on spotify though her limited officially released songs have previously been available on soundcloud. but since she’s not signed to any record label, she tends to stick to the live shows she manages to score at bars & the like around new york. the majority of her songs aren’t actually released but they can be found on youtube via live show hq recordings by her/friends she roped in & not as hq ones by her fans.

has had thoughts about dropping out of school to really give her all into singing but she’s just uhh terrified of not succeeding!!

if anyone would like to plot a little something, my ims are always open, i’m also up for plotting via discord, and i’d love to plot a little something!! i swear i don’t bite so please send me an im if you’re up for something, but honestly if you give this a like i’ll come to you!!

( penned by barb, twenty-one, gmt +1. )

hello everybody ! i’m bar / barb / barbie ,, and im late lmfao . anyway ! i just got home from a long ass trip so this intro is gonna be .. hashtag le tragic . anyway ! i’m in the discord chat & i check there often , so if ya wanna plot , don’t hesitate to hmu from there or here ! 

so ! clover prima is the only daughter of british mom & american dad . they separated @ the early beginning of her teenage years , dad coming out of the closet . it was a dead marriage anyway , but prima had hard time coming in terms with it : /

dad remarried his high school bae . they moved to sf , where they proceeded to adopt four kids into their blended family , which is a wc !!

so um . prima is a professional figure skater ; her passion for the sports began with the push from her dad , and the pretty costumes they wore lmao .

she never exactly made it to the olympics , always falling just a tiny bit short .

the thing with prima is that , being a virgo to the bone , she never settles for enough , always strives for more , knowing damn well she can’t have it yikes

the problem : abt twenty-one months ago , fed up with all of her hard work not paying off , not being good enough , not living her life enough , she decided to have a girls out . missing subject : the girls . 

she grew up extremely isolated & struggled maintaining friendships , afraid of losing : /

anyway . she took the matters to her own hand , got super wasted & just like those moronic insta at drunkpeopledothings ( or something like that ) , she decided to jump off a second floor , on a table .

u can figure out how it went - she broke her leg . adios professional skating , adios olympics : )))

ever since the incident , she lost all of sponsor deals & had to get herself a new place. 

yikes this is getting super sad

im not feeling like writing anymore

uh

connection ideas ?? the first person she met . someone that recognised her , somehow ?? ıHHH im so tired rip

tw: transphobia, mentions of transitioning

s t a t i s t i c s

name: reyna teresa gallegos age: twenty-eight birthdate: may 2nd zodiac: taurus marital status: single sexual orientation: bisexual romantic orientation: homoromantic occupation: guidance counselor

b i o g r a p h y

she grew up in a middle-class family in fresno, california as the oldest of three. she has two younger brothers.

she had a pretty normal upbringing. she played basketball, loved going out to ride her bike and was actually pretty boyish as a kid. 

even though she was what she now describes as a tomboy, she always felt like she wasn’t really one of the boys. they shared the same interests, but they weren’t the same. she didn’t have the words for it, but when she hit puberty at fourteen things started to happen to her body that she didn’t want. at all. dysphoria was then introduced into her life and it didn’t leave.

she had no clue why she hated looking in the mirror and her feelings were all over the place. she wanted to dress like the girls she now got on with, her friends. it felt so natural to speak and gesture like them, and she noticed that in her dreams she was often female, not male.

for a while, she thought she was a gay man but even that didn’t really feel right. she liked the boys she dated, but it still didn’t feel like it was what was going on with her.

in her senior year, she finally talked to a guidance counselor who changed her life. for the first time, terms like transgender and dysphoria were explained to her and she nodded along - that seemed to fit her. that was what was going on with her. her mind was blown and at least now, she had a name for the weight on her shoulders. she isn’t sure what she would have done without miss jackson, who is still an inspiration to her.

she was certain that her family would not accept this. even gay people freaked them out, let alone transgender people. so, she stayed in the closet. she wanted to go to college and she needed her parents’ support for that. 

she started to dress like herself in private and with a few close friends who did know about her. it was around that time that she chose the name reyna for herself.

she worked and lived at home after graduation to save up - not caring that people frowned at her in her mid-twenties still living at home. she knew once she came out, that it would be all over - and she was right.

three years ago, she came out and was asked to leave the house. she did and with the money she had, she had a buffer to comfortably rent a studio. she also slowly started her transition, from therapy to eventually hormone therapy. chest surgery was done around a year ago and after that, she found a job at a high school here in new york - so eleven months ago she arrived here. 

she is working in a very accepting environment at the school and she is very happy with the work she is doing. she is still finding her place in the world and still trying to figure out who she is, but she is a lot happier than she was a few years ago for sure.

she isn’t sure whether to take further steps in her transition or not at this stage.

she has recently found herself attracted to a woman and has no idea what that means for her now. she’s always identified as a straight woman, but now - maybe that isn’t true either.

HI HOWDY hello I go by jess and I was trying to stay away from joining an rp because im in the homestretch of my senior year of college and was like “i can’t be in an rp i’ll have sucky activity again” but then i finished the hard shit in the bulk of my assignments this last week so i was like ehh fuck it! let’s see how it goes! anyways, I’m super excited to be here!! I present you my bb sherri, a muse i thought up a while ago (maybe a year?), but have never actually played until now! fair warning, this shit got a littttle long (oops!).

( carlson young. 27. cisfemale. she/her. ) ❛ sherri lowe, a aries sign from greenwood, delaware, moved into holloway six years ago. they are a broadway actress that lives in apartment 4a and their neighbors don’t particularly mind them. some say they can be -jaundiced and -ruthless but others say they’re +driven and +daring. anyways, one thing is for sure: you hear are you satisfied? by marina, it’s sherri blasting it. ( penned by jess, 21, est. )

backstory

born in greenwood, delaware, or what she’s sure must have been the smallest town known in existence, sherri’s never really had parents. her father was never in the picture, and her mother was a mess and struggled to take care of her to the point that she put her in the system at the age of four.

on some level that’s totally fucked her all the way up, because she has memories of her mother and of playing with her mother and loving her mother, and that shit really hurts her when she also thinks of the memory of her mother putting her in the system, telling her she’d take her back as soon as she could, and then disappearing forever. but you know she doesn’t think about that, okay? she’s fine.   

she was placed into another home in the town, of a semi-successful woman. sherri adjusted. unfortunately, her caregiver got the promotion of a lifetime overseas when sherri was 13, and she took it. sherri bounced into the house of married middle class couple after that. she stayed with them till she graduated high school.

her home life never bothered her, because she knew greenwood was never really her home. no, to her, home was new york city. home was broadway. she fell in love with movie musicals as a child after watching The Wizard of Oz and The Sound of Music and Grease, initially finding the colors and the music and the life of it all the be so heartwarming and comforting. once she discovered she could carry a tune, she immediately through herself into any theater production her school/town produced.  

she became a star in her small town, and while most people didn’t leave their town after reaching adulthood, it was expected by everyone that she would. and she did. 

by graduation, she had saved up enough money to move to the new york, moving into a hellish communal living apartment in brooklyn. she spent three years on the off-off broadway scene before deciding she needed to be closer to the manhattan, and she moved into holloway. 

she finally landed a job on broadway after that, a minor role in the limited run of First Date. she was ecstatic, sure that only big things were to come after this. and...that didn’t happen. 

her next role was as a member of the ensemble in the off-broadway musical Heathers, a step down from her last role, and the beginning of a series of ensemble jobs for sherri, both on and off-broadway. 

her career up until now has been a series of lows and highs, every step on a true Boradway stage feeling monumental until her contract was up, or the show closed, and she found herself unemployed for a series of months, or back off-broadway. 

while she wants to be grateful for the roles she’s getting, being a part of the fucking ensemble of a show forever is Not what she signed up for. she’s been at this stupid, shitty apartment complex for six years. six years, and she’s spent those six years mostly being a part of the ensemble of a show, or playing minor supporting roles. that’s not what she wants. she wants to be a star, the lead, and she’s been doing things the right way, auditioning and practicing and networking, but that’s got her virtually nowhere. she doesn’t want to, but she’ll play things dirty if that’s what she needs to do to claw her way to the top. 

she’s just been cast as (low and behold) a member of the ensemble in a new revival of rodgers and hammerstein's cinderella on broadway, but along with this she’s also working as a standby for the stepsister role, Charlotte, and as an understudy for the title role, Ella. (im working on a wc for the girl cast as ella bc lowkey have some i,tonya shit I wanna play out here okay)

personality

some character inspos: lauren cooper (faking it), sharpay evans (hsm), petra solano (jane the virgin), rachel berry (glee), tonya harding (i,tonya), bonnie plunkett (mom). 

not necessarily mean, but gives off a lot of mean energy probably

very feminine, very girly. 

girl boss energy also

likes to have a good time when she’s not working

only problem is is she works a lot. little bit of a perfectionist, likes to workshop herself a lot, so is often singing and practicing her steps a lot. her roommates are probably annoyed and/or used to that sight by now.

tries to live a healthy life. does yoga, drinks healthy smoothies all the time, goes on diets and all that. however, she’s got such a fucking sweet sot for sweets. tell tell sign that she’s upset is when she lets herself just stuff herself on the sweets.

very independent and self-sufficient, as she mostly took care of herself growing up. 

selfish, looks out for herself first. will throw you under the bus if it means saving herself/elevating her own position. might regret it afterwards though if she cares about you.

not rich, but very finance savy. has been saving and coupon clipping for years, and once she started getting real acting gigs, she made sure not to blow her money on superficial things unless they helped her image/helped her get jobs in some way. still a bit frugal, but she’s released the hold on her purse strings a tad over the years.  

fun facts

she works as an office temp when she doesn’t have a gig and it hurts her soul

she is a closeted bisexual!! she is also not aware of this. has always believed (and still does) that she is straight and never really questioned it. that wc I mentioned earlier, for the girl cast as ella? yeah, that girl’s definitely gonna be the person who opens sherri’s eyes all the way up, babe won’t know how to deal. till then, homegirl only wants the d (although she has and does flirt with girls p regularly, but she dismisses it as just being a flirty person in general). 

wanted connections

a fuck buddy connection would be hella cool and is hella needed for my girl because over the years she has been frustrated by her job a lot. like, a lot a lot, and she’s reaching max frustration these days, so a person who she physical lets these frustrations out with would be great! she’s been here for six years, so this could be a relatively new connection if they’re newer to the building, or a long-lasting fuck buddy connection if they’ve been here for a minute like her.

alternatively, a best bud in failure would be hella cool too. because when she’s not fucking out her frustrations, she’s venting about it to this muse. who, as luck would have it, is also Failing in their career aspirations/some part of life as well. could be kinda like an unlikely friendship, as these two did not come together because they got along well, but because they were both down on their luck one night and happened to find each other. maybe at a bar, maybe on the roof, who knows? but ever since that night, they’ve made an unlikely duo, coming to each other with every success (as slim as they are) and every bitter failure, sometimes to wallow in misery together, sometimes to hype each other up. this would preferably be filled by a similarly age/older muse (26-33ish) and with a muse who has also been in the apartment complex for multiple years.

intimidation nation is another idea I had, about a friendship with a very clear dom/sub friendship dynamic, and your muse is definitely not the dom. sherri’s not shy to be herself, her personality being very domineering and borderline mean at times, she likes to be in control. and in a lot of ways, she’s in control in this friendship. how they became friends idk, but since they’ve been friends, sherri’s been able to detect that this muse is perhaps, on some degree, intimidated by sherri and has a hard time saying no to her, and she’s got a sick little twist out of knowing that. she’s usually a good friend, but sometimes she likes to test the limits, like a cat toying with a captured mouse, and she likes to push her shyer friend from time to time. similar connection type: sherri’s the bad influence. 

a best friend would be killer. someone who does not let sherri dominate them, who can clap back at her and keep her in her lane. who doesn’t mind her constant singing, who respects her work ethic, who listens to her (perhaps) bad decisions and steers her off the wrong course when they feel the need to, or takes care of her after she makes shitty shitty decisions. 

and then some more stuff I want but am too lazy to write

exes (ended on good terms/bad terms/with lingering feelings, ALL OF IT)

party buddies (sherri likes to have a good time sometimes okay she’s fun to party with)

will-they-won’t-they relationship / slow burns 

crushes! unrequited feelings!! one night stands!! friends with benefits!

ALL THE FRIENDSHIP TYPES

FRENEMIES // ENEMIES

also anything long-term too, cause babe’s been in the complex for 6 years so that’s a lot of time to develop really complex relationships btw characters!

and more! i’m open to plotting and brainstorming with all of y’all. if you give this a like, i’ll slide all in your dms for plotting fun.

ABOUT A BOY...

Maximilien Helders-Trenet was born in Paris, France on December 1st, 1996. He’s half french/half british, grew up in between Paris and London, spending time in both cities. Last year he moved to NYC, apparently ‘cause he missed his older sister oh so much, but also because he wanted to chase that sweet rockstar life in America. Now that his band has beginning to take off, moving to NYC seemed like the most logical career move.

Max grew up in a loving and supportive family. His mom is a french haute couture designer, who always made sure her kids knew the finest things in life, whereas his dad is an english billionaire CEO who always found the time to play and joke around with his kids. Both parents have always tried their best to be present for their kids, even with their busy schedules. Max pretty much spent his childhood playing around in hotel rooms all over the world, these are some of his most cherished memories.

Surprisingly, both parents have always been super supportive of their kids endeavours. Where other friends were raised to take over the family’s company, Max’s parents always supported his passion for music. When he started his band, they were his first fans. And when he came out as bisexual, they educated themselves to be there for their son.

However, his favorite person in the world is his sister Paige. Max is full of love and admiration towards her. He probably missed her way too much these years that they lived apart. 

THE ARCTIC MONKEYS

Maximilien’s band. They’re literally named after the actual Arctic Monkeys, ‘cause I literally have no creativity. Also, maybe I lowkey based Max on Alex Turner. At least his aesthetic and some of his personality traits.

Anyways, Max formed the band with his best friend from childhood when they were around sixteen. Throughout the years, the band started taking shape, more members joined and they found their sound in the many underground pubs of Camden. By the time Max was 19, they had been signed by a record label. First, they had their big break throughout the United Kingdom, and just last year, they managed to finally get big worldwide. Last year, the band had their first world tour and this year they will be playing Coachella. (Hence my last insta post hehe).

As for their sound, they’re rock and roll. Their influences come from old school rock from like the 70′s all through the 90′s. If you’ve ever listened to bands like the Arctic Monkeys, Arcade Fire or The National, that’s literally what Max’s band sounds like.

Finally, you could say Max’s the leader of the band. He sings, plays the guitar, the piano and occasionally the drums. In a nod to his FC, Axel Auriant, the first instrument Max ever learned to play was the drums, he’s been playing since he was four years old and originally, he was the drummer of the band. He’s also their main songwriter, more on that when we get to the romantic wanted connections, hehe.

RANDOM HEADCANONS AND BITS OF INFO

- Fluent in french, english and sarcasm. Pretty good with german, italian and spanish.

- Cultured AF. He knows lots of random bits and pieces of info on all topics, from literature, history, art, cinema, everything and anything. 

- MUSICAL NERD. His biggest passion is music, and Max also loves learning, so he’s constantly trying to discover new rhythms and styles. He’s particularly passionate about learning about the musical genres from all over the world. He could probably tell you random facts about the origins of salsa or hip-hop. The music coming out from his apartment goes from gospel one day to flamenco the next.

- Came out as bisexual when he was 16, it was quite the journey but he always had the support of both his parents, which made it all a lot easier. However, he tries not to talk much about his sexuality to the press and the fans.

- He does like to sleep around quite a lot. He’s like the Taylor Swift of rockstars, if you’ve ever had anything to do with him, he’ll write a song about you.

- IT ANNOYS HIM AF WHEN PEOPLE CALL HIM MAXIMILIEN. But please, I need someone to volunteer and call this bitch by his full name just for the fun of it.

- Has a one year old pomeranian named Ouba (pretty much like his fc irl). That pomeranian is his EVERYTHING. For Max, his puppy is pretty much his baby princess daughter and he loves to spoil her.

- He a ride or die. Once he considers you his friend, he’ll do everything for you. Loyal af. Would def throw hands if a friend needs him to.

In case you don’t wanna be bothered to read all that mess:

SUMMARY: french/british rockstar who has a pretty famous band. turns out he a gryffindor. bit of a slut, but does it for the song. he small but full of anger. just wants to be cuddled. seems like a pretentious rockstar but is actually very smart and sensitive. pls love him, he just wants to be loved.

they  often  encouraged  her  to  be  herself  ,  follow  her  dreams  .  &  hers  followed  closely  in  her  parents  footsteps  .  ever  since  she  was  little  ,  her  passions  had  surrounded  the  arts  ,  specifically  writing  .  she  could  always  be  found  on  a  desk  ,  putting  her  pen  to  work  or  lying  under  a  mountain  of  crumpled  paper  .

she  attended  NYU  when  she  turned  eighteen  (  she  moved  into  holloway  during  her  third  year  )  ,  determined  to  not  let  her  family  name  dictate  whether  she  became  successful  .  sure  ,  it  helped  .  her  creative  streak  she  certainly  got  from  them  ,  but  she  wanted  to  rely  on  her  talents  &  wits  too.  after  graduating  ,  she  was  thrust  into  the  working  world  .  she’s  written  a  book  with  her  best  friend  ,  which  helped  her  establish  herself.  now  ,  she’s  working  on  a  script  &  is  hoping  to  work  on  it  with  her  family  .

( paul wesley. 28. cismale. he/him. ) ❛ andrew schneider , a scorpio from san francisco, moved into holloway eight years ago. they are a writer that lives in apartment 6f and their neighbors don’t particularly mind them. some say they can be brooding and reserved but others say they’re creative and insightful. anyways, one thing is for sure: you hear love like ghosts by lord huron, it’s andrew blasting it. ( penned by erie, 23, est. )

Hellllllllllllo! I am so thrilled to finally be posting this intro, even if I am a little late to the party. You can call me Erie, and I’m from the EST Timezone! Here are a few fun facts about myself:

- My favorite band is Lord Huron. If you don’t know who they are, I’d strongly suggest looking them up. I can’t even begin to describe how their music makes me feel.

- I’ve been rping for nearly six years. I started here on tumblr, and have always been on tumblr, which I’ve learned is fairly uncommon. A lot of people I’ve met in the rpc started on twitter, facebook, or other platforms. Regardless of where you started though, I’ll love you just the same!

- I’ve played Paul Wesley face claims a lot over the years. He was by far my favorite part of The Vampire Diaries. He’s an amazing actor, and characters I’ve played using his face have always had a certain vibe that I love. It was actually because of my very first Paul Wesley Face Claim that I was introduced to Lord Huron, and now I sort of associate the two things with each other. Andrew is a mix of two of my previous Paul characters, with a few new things added in. That’s a pretty nice segue way to...

Andrew! Let me tell you this boy’s story, because I’ve been itching to for days!

- Andrew grew up in San Francisco with his dad, who is a world renowned (Think like, Stephen King level fame and success) but struggling author. His mom left with his younger brother when Andrew was very young. He’s never met his brother, and his Mom flat out refuses to have anything to do with him to this day because...

- The reason his Mom left was that Andrew’s Dad had developed an alcohol problem from his writing struggles, and would regularly abuse her. She got pregnant with Andrew’s brother with another man, who promised to support her and the child if she left. She left Andrew with his Dad because she had grown to hate him, because he served as a reminder that she had once loved the man that had made her life into a living Hell.

- I’d like to be able to say that his wife leaving him, and the responsibility of taking care of his son now being completely on his shoulders served as a wake up call for Andrew’s Dad, but unfortunately it didn’t. His drinking got even worse, and he simply hired people to oversee the care of Andrew, and locked himself away in his study, trying to write the next great novel. In some ways, this was probably something of a mercy, because he certainly wasn’t in any condition to take care of a child, and if he’d attempted it, Andrew probably would have suffered the same kind of abuse that his mother had. As it stands, the abuse he did suffer was very minimal. Once he was old enough to start school, Andrew was sent to Leman Manhattan Preparatory School in New York, boarding there. He lived there for ten months out of the year from the time he was 4 until he was 18, and as a result, grew up to barely know his father.

- Although he resented his father, it was hard for Andrew not to follow in his footsteps and becomes a writer himself. This is partially because the only good memories that Andrew has of his Dad involve him praising pieces of his writing as he grew up. In those moments, Andrew was able to see a glimmer of the man his father once was before alcohol consumed his life. Writing was the only thing that he and his Dad shared. But even without these moments, he still probably would have ended up becoming a writer anyway.

- Having lived in New York for the better part of his entire life, once he graduated High School, he moved there permanently in order to attend Columbia. It was while he was there that he met and fell in love with Alice.

- There’s not a lot I can say about Alice, because in a lot of ways, she’s kind of a mystery. I will say that Andrew was very in love with her. After a year of being together, he proposed marriage and she said yes.

- After his second year at Columbia, he and Alice decided to move out of the residence, and that’s when they moved into Holloway together as a betrothed couple. However, very shortly after moving in, Alice disappeared. Her leaving seemed deliberate, since she took most of her stuff, but she left no note, and no explanation for why, or where she was going. Andrew was heartbroken.

- It wasn’t long after Alice left that Andrew decided to leave. He had started to drink heavily, and spent a lot of his time shut up by himself doing nothing but writing, and he realized he was well on track to becoming exactly like his father was. He knew he needed to leave everything behind, and live as differently as was possible. Without giving it too much thought, he packed a bag and left New York; and he didn’t return for 8 years.

- In his time away, Andrew went on a journey. He traveled across North America, a great deal of it on foot, and camped out in the wilderness. As he traveled, he wrote and sketched in his journals, keeping accounts of the things he saw and experienced. Trekking on foot, from forest to field, from field to mountain, and everything in between, he made stops in towns and cities when he needed to resupply. He lived this way for eight years, on what essentially became a journey of healing and enlightenment. 

-  Although the purpose of the journey wasn’t supposed to be try and find Alice, there was no denying that in the back of his mind, he was always searching for her, hoping to find her. He kept finding reasons to push his journey further and longer, and though he could justify them to himself, deep down he knew it was because of her. In the end, he never did find her, and after breaking down into tears at the realization that no matter how far he went, he probably never would, he decided it was time to finally return home.

- Now Andrew is back. His apartment has been paid for, but vacant for the past eight years, and he’s finally returned to live in it. After eight years on the road, he has hundreds of journals to sort through, which he intends to take the best parts of, revise, and try to get published. Spending so much time away, it’s going to take some time for him to figure out how to live a normal life again.

That’s the story of Andrew so far! I’m not super happy with how I wrote it (Having a mental block today) but it gets the important stuff across! I may try writing out an actual bio eventually, but we’ll see. Anywho! If you’d like to plot anything, please feel free to shoot me a message!

( giancarlo commare. twenty-six. cismale. he/him. ) ❛ luciano canegello, a scorpio from los angeles, califnornia, moved into holloway six years ago. they are a junior sous chef that lives in apartment 2f and their neighbors don’t particularly mind them. some say they can be -reticent and -suspicious but others say they’re +attentive and +equanimous. anyways, one thing is for sure: you hear my way by tom walker, it’s luca blasting it.

hey, hi, hello!!! i’m bronny, i’m 22, i’m from new zealand ( possibly one of the worst timezones to be in but we learn to survive!! ) and i’m so excited about this group!! luciano is a bit of reworked old muse of mine that i haven’t written in a while but i would be lying if i said skam italia’s current season hasn’t given me a huge burst of inspiration for him ( hence why i switched kieran out for him ) but i....love my soft son okay and i won’t ramble anymore because his intro is a touch....long. so without further ado......

LUCIANO CANEGELLO

Luciano Canegallo was born to Nicola & Giovanni Canegallo, two hugely successfully actors in Italy. Both were successful in their own right but after acting in a movie together when they were only in their mid-twenties they were an immediate power couple. Think Brangelina, Sonny & Cher, etc. etc. So you could say that he was brought up in the limelight, along with his little sister who came 4 years after him.

For the first 10 years of his life he lived in Rome, Italy & Italian is his first language but he’s fluent in English. Something he would have most likely learnt anyway, but his parents wanted to make sure that English came as if it was his first language bc they had….big…BIG hopes and dreams for Luciano.

When he was 10, both his parents broke into the American film world after they starred in their first of many American movies and because of their expanding career, they decided to make the move to Los Angeles a permanent thing. They still have their family home in Rome but they only use it for holidays or for family occasions

Growing up in the limelight didn’t exactly effect Luciano that much? Maybe it was because he didn’t exactly know anything else? But his parents did try to give him & his sister somewhat of a ‘normal’ life. They went to ‘normal’ schools, hung out with their friends….but no matter what they said or tried to pass off nothing was really ‘normal.’

Luciano didn’t exactly have an inflated ego but he’s lived a life of privilege all his life and though it’s not in his intention—he can come across a little…..cocky and as if he’d be a little bit of an asshole.

But no matter how privileged his life was, the one thing Luciano found hard, especially when he got older into his teenage years, was how he never quite exactly knew if people were friends with him because they liked him for him or they were only friends with him because of who he was or more than likely than not who his parents were.

Trust wasn’t and still isn’t an easy thing for him. The only person he trusts is his younger sister, Olivia. She’s his best friend and she means the world to him, he doesn’t know where he’d be without her.

Little headcanon that…..a girl broke his heart completely bc boy fell head over heels in love but  it turned out that…..she really just used him for his/his parents #fame & #status to further her own career.

Because of his trust issues, he’s far from open and prefers to keep people at a certain distance. But he does it in a way that they wouldn’t even know? To most people, he’s a very level-headed guy that sure definitley has a bit of an air of arrogance about him but he’s actually pretty friendly and welcoming to the majority of people??definitley wouldn’t be the first impression when you look at him though.

But he only shows surface level of himself, he never lets himself get emotional or lets anyone see him anything but the perfectly put together facade that his parents helped him create over the years.

But honestly, he really is just a big ol’ softy? He’s really got a huge as hell heart, he just finds it hard to give or show it to anyone that’s not his family.

NOW!!! Since he was born really his parents……well they imagined that he would follow in their footsteps and become an actor, to them it was obvious from day 1 that he was a star or at least destined for something great.

but do you think luciano wanted to follow his parents dream for him? To begin with, hell yeah! When he was a kid and in his early teens he guest starred in some of his parents movies and co-starred in a few movies. but he never loved acting or had the passion more deserving people had and it was really just something he did to more or less please his parents and keep them happy?

and as luciano grew up and slowly but surely found his footing in the dumb thing called life & he started to find himself more—food slowly but surely started to become a love and passion. he had a passion for it that he lacked in acting.

food of course had always been an important part of his & his family’s life. it was what brought them all back together when his parents had been away for weeks, sometimes even months, on end—and  slowly the celebratory dinners and welcome back dinners that had once been cooked by payed chefs were being made by luciano.

it was a surprise to luciano’s parents when he sat them down one day to explain that acting wasn’t what he wanted to do. seeing the disappointment in their eyes wasn’t easy for luciano but he’d appeased them long enough. he couldn’t just keep taking roles from more deserving people simply because his parents were famous. he was talented sure, but he didn’t want everything that came along with the spotlight. he finds the spotlight he has already too much and there are times he wishes he could switch it off completely. he knew they’d live, they had one child thriving in the entertainment industry after all.

but what was the most surprising things for them was the fact that he wanted to go to culinary school. the institute of culinary education to be exact—the new york campus.

they couldn’t quite understand why he’d want to go across the country when there was a campus right where they lived and to save at least some of their feelings, luciano let them think that it was simply the better option. when in reality, he wanted to get away from the spotlight. he wanted to make a life for himself that didn’t rely on his last name and support himself. it was his first step to freedom.

not that his parents could exactly stop him, but to his relief at least they slowly came around to the idea and after he completed his last year of school and the new year came around, he was off to new york to start the process of becoming a chef.

to start off with, he amused his parents by allowing them to rent a place for him while he did his 12 months of study but after his graduation and having some money of his own saved up, he went out of his own and started renting an apartment at holloways. he started off with roommates at holloway but eventually moved into an apartment of his own when he had some more money under his belt.

it wasn’t anything flash, far from anything he had been use to if he was honest, but it was his and he couldn’t be happier.

moving to new york & following his passion was one of the best things he has ever done. there has been a few times someone has stopped him in the streets to ask for a photo or something along those lines but for the most part he blended in and he has never been happier.

after graduating from the institute of culinary education, he was jumping around a few jobs as a commis chef but around 22 he landed a job as a chef de partie, a roundsman to be exact, in an up and coming 5 star italian based restaurant and at 23 he was promoted to the sauté chef before then at 25 becoming the junior sous chef. he has head sous chef in his sights but for the moment, he’s happy where he is.

one could say that his life is going pretty swimmingly for the most part

EXTRAS

it’s no secret who his family is but it’s not something he’s completely open about as he prefers just blending in.

he prefers to go by luca but people closest to him do call him luci and he doesn’t completely hate it when it comes from them.

will 100% cook you food if you ask. would cook for the whole apartment block honestly and make it a party on the roof.

also plays the guitar & piano

if anyone would like to plot a little something, my ims are always open, i’m also up for plotting via discord, and i’d love to plot a little something!! i swear i don’t bite so please send me an im if you’re up for something, but honestly if you give this a like i’ll come to you!!

but if you are interested in plotting, i have a plots page with loose ideas here!!

harry styles. twenty four. male. he/him. ) ❛ benjamin “benny” taylor, an aries sign from long point ontario canada, moved into holloway one week ago. they are a musician that lives in apartment 1D and their neighbors don’t particularly mind them. some say they can be - distracted and - unrealistic but others say they’re +genuine and +charming. anyways, one thing is for sure: you hear wasteland, baby! by hozier, it’s benny blasting it. 

It’s Erie back at ya with another boy! Let me get right to it.

- Benny was born in Hamilton Ontario Canada. His parents were really young when they had him. When he was two years old, they separated, and he stayed with his mom, visiting his Dad on the weekends.

- Around the time he was six years old, his mom wasn’t able to take take care of him anymore for a variety of reasons, including being out of work, and having developed an alcohol problem. Benny moved in with his Dad and his new girlfriend, who was pregnant at the time.

- After his Dad’s girlfriend gave birth to his half-brothers who are twins, she started to neglect Benny. His Dad did his best to give him love and attention, but he had to work swing shifts at factories to pay for everything and wasn’t around much. All around it wasn’t a very good situation for Benny to be in.

- His grandparents witnessed the sort of treatment he was suffering at the hands of his Dad’s girlfriend, and they offered to let him come and live with them in Long Point, a small lake-side town with a population of less than 1500 people. It was going to mean big changes in his life, but he said that he wanted to, and his Dad ultimately agreed to let him.

- After that, his life became a lot better. His grandparents were retirees who lived in a nice cottage, and they treated him really well. It was during this time that Benny first started to play music around campfires, especially during the summer when people would come down to their trailers and cottages to enjoy the lake. He’d been playing music his whole life, but these campfires were where he had his first audiences. 

- As he moved into adolescence, people actually started coming down to Long Point just to hear him play around the campfire. After he graduated high school, he was invited to play at dozens of backyard parties all through the summer, all across the province. It was at one of these parties that he met an agent from a record company, who was looking for something new and different and thought that Benny was it, and signed him to a one record deal. A short time later, he released his first album, called Campfire Guru. It consisted of folksy songs that he’d written to be played around the campfire. A special summer tour was organized to go with it, where he traveled across the United States and Canada, playing outdoor shows where he sat on a stage with a campfire on it and played the album and other stuff. The album was by no means a platinum record or anything, but it did go Gold in Canada, and the tour made a lot of money for the record company. They decided to sign him on to an extended deal, with the plan to take it on a record by record basis. One of the conditions to the new deal though, was that he moved to New York, which is how he ended up moving in to Holloway!

- As a person, Benny is very free spirited and genuine. He just wants to keep playing music because he loves it, and really has no aspirations to make it big or anything. He loves life, and wants to enjoy every second of it. His head can definitely be in the clouds, making him pretty distractable, and naive and unrealistic. He can also get pretty frustrated when he feels stagnant or trapped. 

Anyways that’s pretty much it for now. If there’s anything else you might want to know about him, or if you’d like to plot things, feel free to hit up me up on here or on discord!

( troye sivan. 21. demiboy. he/they. ) ❛ emery redd, a pisces from queensland, australia, moved into holloway three years ago. they are a med school student/intern at a vet clinic that lives in apartment 5d and their neighbors don’t particularly mind them. some say they can be passive and insecure but others say they’re intelligent and soft-hearted. anyways, one thing is for sure: you hear catastrophize by noah kahan, it’s emery blasting it.

hello friends! i’m nev ( she/her ) n i’m so excited to meet all ur characters n plot with you !! i’m bringing u a tiny soft anxious nerdy baby about whom you can read a bit below ( it’s like……….half bio half intro idk rly just bear w me im tired !! ) anyway smash a like and i’ll come @ u or hmu in my dms xo

trigger warnings for: anxiety disorder, homophobia

emery was born in the gold coast in australia with a twin brother ( winnie ) and a younger brother, both of whom managed to capture their parents’ attention more successfully than emery ever did. with winnie being a phenomenal dancer and following in their mom’s footsteps and their younger brother being the more masculine son their father had hoped for, emery grew up feeling distanced from his family and not especially important–save of course for winnie, who always went out of his way to make sure emery never felt neglected. because of this–and because of a moderate-to-severe anxiety disorder as well as burgeoning gender confusion–winnie became from a very young age emery’s life support. as children, you would never find emery anywhere that winnie was not, and when winnie was at his dance classes, emery was typically at home, either reading his animal biology books or practicing piano ( for which he had an incredible affinity, but in which neither of his parents took much interest )

he’s been obsessed with animals since he was little, used to get in trouble with his parents for bringing in birds and things from outside to try and keep them as pets, and even kept a sketchbook with him for a long time where he would draw birds he saw and then catalogue them later

when he and winnie moved to new york he immediately got a dog, whose fc is troye’s actual dog yuergiuhjsa and is emery’s best friend in the world he loves her so much. her name is galadriel from lotr but he calls her lady

when he was very young, emery had a stutter as well–he’s mostly grown out of it through a combination of aging and speech therapy, but he’ll still talk a little slower out of anticipation of messing up, and because the anxiety still exists to a large degree, he doesn’t talk a lot in general. so when he does, it’s something he very much wants to say, and he’s painstaking about trying to articulate things clearly

because he was unable to explore his gender confusion at home for fear of alienating his parents further, it was only once he and winnie moved out together that he began experimenting and learning to be more himself. you’ll typically find him in soft, oversized sweaters and a pair of jeans, and although he generally refers to himself using he/him pronouns, he’s pretty flexible

he’s a little nerdy, wears glasses most of the time unless he feels like putting in his contacts, and aside from his bird drawing and fascination with animals he spends a lot of time transcribing piano music as a hobby

he finished his undergraduate degree at nyu early and is now in his first year of med school to become a vet. he’s an intern at a vet clinic but makes very little money doing it

he got broken up with about a month ago by a bf who was cheating on him with winnie but em doesn’t know………that’s the case. so he’s still very sore about that bc it was his first bf and he’s heartbroken !!!

all in all, em is a very soft, anxious little baby with a warm heart and a great yearning to start living life in a way his anxieties have always kept him from doing

connection ideas

a close-knit group of friends, people emery can be himself around and shed a little bit of his crippling shyness

maybe?? some?? people who are not particularly nice to him?? idk bc he’s rly quiet and weak looking he’d be easy to pick on euyrafghdjs i just want angst ok

the bf! who cheated on him w winnie! i’ll make this a wc if no one takes it up ✌️

probably a boy he has a lowkey new crush on but will absolutely NOT SAY ANYTHING EVER and just admire from afar and barely be able to talk to him tbh

alternatively someone who has a crush on em but he literally has no idea

would love to have the kind of thing where?? em was friends w someone when he first moved here 3 years ago but they sort of drifted away from him eventually bc he’s literally so shy and impossible to get to go out

AND in that same vein somebody he didn’t get along w originally but has become rly close to these days for whatever reason !!

somebody who’s rly protective over him

hookups of winnie’s that em’s rly awkward w when they’re over at the apartment

somebody or somebodies who have mistaken em for winnie and tried to make a pass only to realize!! they’ve got the wrong twin

um anything angsty ok hmu to plot w any other!!! ideas!!!!!!

( &&. BACKGROUND )

a vancouver native, her mother died giving birth to nicole, so the only family she’s known her whole life are her siblings, who she’s fiercely protective of, and the father she refuses to have any sort of authentic relationship with due to his sporadic absences. just a few months after her thirteenth birthday, papa potter up and moved their small family across the continent to a trailer park in california, where he left them at unannounced times to fend for themselves. while it wasn’t an ideal situation by any means, in a way it gave nicole purpose; taking care of herself and helping take care of her siblings as she matured. not to mention the added responsibility they all shared in paying rent and surviving in general.

while she picked up the odd job at a convenience store or gas station as a teenager, the eldest potter girl had a fascination with the dark web. at a young age, she was incredibly adept with programming and knowing the innards of computers in general, and the internet was like her playground. it started off very innocent, scamming people across the globe to deposit money into her account ( whether it be out of pity, infatuation, or sheer stupidity ). but after toying with malware and developing her own cryptic coding techniques over the years, nicole became something of a little hacker, which is now her main source of income for the family. posing as a cam girl, she coaxes the information needed out of her  ‘ clientele ’ before springing an unforeseen attack on them. she doesn’t completely drain their accounts ( unless they’re disgusting pigs and she’s feeling spiteful ), but she certainly walks away with a large chunk from their savings.

in school, she did absolutely stellar with her grades but “didn’t fully apply herself” according to the majority of her teachers, who frankly weren’t incorrect. nicole didn’t give a shit about her education, deeming high school as a ploy to train young minds to live by the same routine, day in and day out, once they graduated and moved onto the real world. however, despite her practiced skill in technological stealth, she couldn’t exactly bring in all this money without everyone in her small neighbourhood growing suspicious of the formerly poor potter’s newly formed middle class wealth.

sO homegirl ended up applying to university anyway, getting accepted into nyu with a computer science major. she packed up her shit at the age of nineteen and moved across the country into the apartment complex she’s now been residing in for a little over five years. of course, nicole still pulls some trickery online with her faux cam girl stunt, but she’s genuinely enjoying school and the internship awarded through her program’s work placement.

( dua lipa. 24. cisfemale. she/her. ) ❛ jade vandermeer, an aries from seattle, washington, moved into holloway three years ago. they are a musician that lives in apartment 5d here and their neighbors don’t particularly mind them. some say they can be volatile and impulsive but others say they’re bold and magnetic. anyways, one thing is for sure: you hear tongue tied by grouplove, it’s jadey-v blasting it.

INTRODUCTION : JADE VANDERMEER

hey! it’s ya girl jess & i’m here with my girl, jade. a little about me, in case you didn’t see my lil ooc intro in the discord – i’m 22 and in the bst timezone. i’m ur local bisexual aries disaster who is indie band trash & resides in rainy england. i played johnny before the revamp ( the nico mirallegro fc! ) and was also an admin for a lil bit. without further ado, here’s my babe!

my d*iscord is @ soft aries#7087 & i prefer to plot there over IMs!

jade’s pinterest board can be found here!

BACKGROUND

jade is the daughter of two business-people. the pair of them strict & straight as a line for her whole childhood. she was born in seattle, but since her father is dutch (hence her last name) and her mother is albanian, the family spent a lot of time travelling to their respective homelands, which was just about the most fun she had as a child. when at home in baltimore, she was kept under close supervision as her parents were the typical snobby, superficial semi-wealthy types and way too overprotective.

leaving the states for long periods at a time made it somewhat hard for jade to keep a friendship group, so she found fun in things that she could do alone like songwriting, singing and learning to play bass guitar. these were just hobbies at first until she entered her mid-teen years and began to take it more seriously, knowing she had the talent to do so. 

music forced her to come out of her shell massively. it gave her the confidence to. kids at school would want to hear her play all the time, and she was happy to show off her talents to others, which helped her to make friends

of course, around this time is when she developed a taste for fun. she wanted to hang out and go to parties and stuff like a normal teenager but again, her parents were still being way too strict & sheltering her

so she had to make do with sneaking out when she could, and when she couldn’t go have fun she continued to refine her passion as a musician, starting to post covers & original songs to youtube and bandcamp & even managing to get quite a substantial fanbase

however, her parents weren’t happy with this. they thought that music wasn’t a real job and that she needed to follow in the family footsteps and work towards being employed by their business. so, they made sure to only extend the offer of financial support through college if she promised to study business, marketing or something similar. and so, she had no choice but to agree to their ultimatum

she began studying at a university in new york, with a degree in business management. of course — she hated it. her studies didn’t align with her passion and so, to the dismay of her parents, she dropped out only a year and a half in. 

it was around this time that jade’s parents figured out that she was going to pursue the music thing no matter what and she wouldn’t be working for the family business. their ultimatum had technically failed, and jade was worried about potential problems between herself and her parents if she were to go back to seattle. and so, the search for a roommate in new york started. she moved into holloway as a matter of urgency

she could finally focus on being herself and taking up music as her full-time focus. there was an issue though, she needed a band. though, that issue was solved when she got together with some fellow holloway residents to form the indie rock band solar eclipse. with jade on bass, of course !!

jade worked as a barista and spent any free time she had working on music with solar eclipse. over the past few years, they’ve managed to take off quite a bit — they’ve signed to a record label, so jade quit her barista job and the band started to work on an album! everything seems to be falling into place.

PERSONALITY

fiery aries lady. aka charismatic and magnetic but do not cross her bad side sksksk

comes across kind of self-centred / vain but really she’s just super proud of herself and has a lot of self-confidence?

very all or nothing. doesn’t like to half-ass things. v determined and inspired at all times

can be a lil intense but is high-key lovely, v sweet and loyal, cares about her friends so much

she has a very strong personality and can be a bit of a liability. does a lot of things she regrets. doesn’t always think before she speaks

impulsive and unpredictable, she’s one of those extroverts that can become draining to be around after a while. she’s so talkative and excitable, a little too much. your muse may find her annoying or endearing depending on what they’re like

a bicon ( shocker.... not )

hopeless romantic, idealist / optimist, quixotic type.

aesthetics: yellow, converse high tops, vinyl pressings of all great indie records, denim mini skirts, mischievous grins, gold glitter

i’m gonna stop here bc i reallllly wanna jump into some plotting !

SUGGESTED CONNECTIONS

best friend(s) — it’s probably a given that this is taken up by her bandmates but i’m open for her to have more too! only requirement for this is that they vibe well with her personality!

past college friend(s) — friends she met at college before she dropped out. maybe they drifted after she left & now they’ve graduated and their friendship will rekindle in holloway?

bad influence — jade is a mischievous little binch. loves to party, go on wild spontaneous adventures, still has a rebellious streak thanks to growing up with strict parents. this person is a bit of a partner in crime for jade, always convincing her to join them in doing dumb shit

good influence — maybe another musician who mentors her as well, but this isn’t required? basically just anyone who can keep her grounded when her [ jenna marbles vc: ARIES ] energy causes her to wild out 

exes (on good or bad terms) — i love angst k thanks. if they’re on good terms, maybe they stayed friends & they’re still in love w jade but she doesn’t know ? if it’s bad terms maybe the relationship ended rly messily or they cheated on her and now they can’t stand each other, idc just gimme angst

a slow burn love interest — i’m not a fan of ship plots that happen right away like??? i like a cute plot that can build and develop for a while !! gimme a lil somethin somethin. our characters have to really work together for this tho so ig i’ll be picky when it comes to this plot

anything honestly!! hmu and if none of these appeal to you we can brainstorm!
