BIOGRAPHY

TRIGGERS: Death, Cheating & Single Parenting

May my mercy prevail over my wrath.

Men with good hearts were always hard to come by in this day and age, those who portrayed themselves to be usually just hid their agenda’s better than others. But there was no man like Kraysen Ford, the boy next door, the man with intergrity and respect.

Brought up on a farm in Prada Verde; he was a country boy through and through. Growing up in the house with his Mother, Father, Younger Sister, Older brother and Grandma; a close family who were always found laughing around the dinner table at night, cards lay out and jokes being told. They were a genorous bunch, always thinking of others; whether his mother was running a charity food drive for those less fortunate in the community or his father was out helping his older neighbours with the chores they’d grown too weary to do in their old age.

Kraysen spent his years growing up seeing all these acts of kindess, in and outside of the home. The way his grandmother talked about the long marriage she had to his grandfather before he passed, when they decided she should live with them so she wasn’t alone. The way his mother and father were together, so effortless, yet still so compassionate and tender all these years on. Each and every moment, Kray took from it, he learnt how to be a real man. Not the kind of man that women loved in the movies, a bad boy. Sure, he had his traits — but he was far from it.

In High school he met his best friend, the person who he knew got him. Although he was kind and sweeter than the usual popular lads in high school, Kraysen made his way to the top by being one of the most liked people due to his nature. He was a favorite of not only the students, but the teachers and was academic, although not that interested in it. His favorite class was music, always taking the time to sing, play the piano or guitar which he showed a natural ability with.

But knew he’d never be able to persue it, his job was to take over the farm from his dad. And while some people would say that it was unfair to put that burden on a child, Kraysen knew it was not only the right thing to do but also the smart thing. It was a steady job, music never would be and Kray saw a wife and children in his future; he saw them on that very farm where he’d grown up, playing in the fields while Harp and his wife would sip cold punch in the summer time.

Throughout school Kraysen dated an array of girls, he wasn’t a heartbreaker, in fact, they ended up breaking his. Whether it was cheating, saying he was too nice or it just wasn’t the right time — he found himself always wondering if there was something wrong with him, or maybe it was only the bad guys that ended up with the girls in the end.

It was only in his last year of high school, as a Senior, that he began to sneak out to parties; he was sure if he asked his parents they’d be fine with it, but it was more fun that way. His Grandma caught him a few times, saying it was their secret — their bond only grew. But those nights he realised that he struggled to find the one, no one ever stood out to him anymore, he was a man that still appreciated the woman’s form, and the woman he wanted he couldn’t have. That was his problem, and he knew it all too well.

After high school he began working at the farm immediately, as a graduation gift he was given a red truck; like the one he’d always dreamed of, which Kraysen and his father worked every day to restore; it was their thing, something he cherished. But he knew he wanted to do something more, he wanted to be more — Help people, but just in a different way to his parents.

With the grades and the right attitude, Kraysen attended Savannah State University where he studied Psychology, so he could become a therapy and eventually, after completing all the courses — he graduated and after speaking with his father, they set up Ranch Therpay; Kray was aware that most people found it daunting to go into someones office and talk to them, so he decided to use the farm as a tool. Each patient would walk with him through the farm, ride the horses, feed the animals and that’s when therapy would commence. He believed it was better to get a lot of his patients out of a room and into the open, a lot of people didn’t get to do that. Depression kept them couped up, or they were too afraid to go out alone, only two reasons among thousands.

And it worked, a sucess that was reported on the news, the papers all around Prada Verde. They were known as the family of givers, those who were happy to help others and wanted to keep helping as much as they could.

He his older brother, Bash, also named Bazen. But he was older, married and had a family of his own.  He’d decided the family business wasn’t for him at a young age and ventured into property sales, he was amazing at it and was grateful for what he had. They saw each other most Sundays at church or when they had family meals, in honour of their family traditions. But the questions were always asked as to when Harp would settle down; when he’d finally meet the girl of his dreams.

So he started actively looking until he met her, like a whirl wind she came into his life and ripped him apart like a tornado set on a path of destruction. She was everything he never usually went for, a seductive, maipulative and soul sucking creature who he’d end up falling in love with. 

And then she was pregnant.

While Kray was happy, he could tell she wasn’t. It was like being punched in the stomach, each day became painstakingly long as he wished for their child to arrive, in hopes it may fix the clear void that had become present, but instead she flew deeper into a void of anger and annoyance. And the day their beautiful daughter, Dotty Andrews arrived, she was gone. Left without another word, and from that day on he vowed he’d do anything and everything for his daughter.

However, he did what he had to, to win her back. But it was short lived, the day they were marrying on his farm, they all just dissapeared.

Like a light went out. And then there was no one.

Just Kray and his daughter, his entire family had almost been wiped out, and left a man completely torn apart. What would he do? Where would he go? How would he live? A man who was amazing dad, but had always had the love of his parents to help him when needed. But that had been ripped away from him, and he had no answers as to why. 

Now he’s a solitary man, who lives on his farm, still loving and happy, but keeps himself distances as to not get hurt again. He just prays nothing comes to take his daughter away, for that would be the worst thing that could ever happen to him.

past

He had the dream rural life - the American Dream Supreme. He had two loving parents and an older sister. His family had made a name for themselves in town as ranchers and worked with the Czerniawskis.

Then, he met Maggie Czerniawski and his whole world changed. They were the typical high school relationship - on and off again while being total opposites. That is, until Maggie got pregnant with Olga during their sophomore/junior year. (Still being figured out with Rachael.)

Once she was born, the two booked it out of their families’ homes. They weren’t going to deal with that. Unfortunately, that made their lives even more difficult but they tried. 

What happened in-between is being figured out with Rachael! Please know it will be updated when we plot it out more. :)

Something happened, and well, their paths parted. But he’s always loved Maggie and Olga, keeping a careful eye on them when he can in-between making sure his family and others don’t cause riots among themselves.

present

He’s only in Prado Verde because he got a frantic call from Olga about Maggie being a part of the Guilty Remnant. He honestly doesn’t have a clue about a plan. He’ll figure it out.

He’s in contact with his family back in Iowa, and he’s pretty certain they’ve been passing info to the Czerniawskis. It’s inevitable.

Currently, he lives with his daughter and his granddaughter. They all thought it was going to take a few weeks at most. It’s appearing to be more of a hassle than anticipated.

future

He’s constantly on the move, so who knows where he’s going to be next.

Is it obvious he’s still not over Magnolia? I think everyone in town would know in an instant. He’s still gotta figure out how to get her out of that cult. Maggie and not talking is an oxymoron in itself, and he still can’t believe she’s done it.

connections

ODD JOBS. Perhaps a client that’s needed his services or some odd job here and there that he’s picked up along the way. 

G.R. MEMBERS. He’s not afraid to make a scene, no matter how intimidating he may look, But he’s trying to figure out the weak link in the bunch that can lead him to Maggie. 

REGULARS. He’s not quite a regular, but he’s getting to be so at the nightclub. Perhaps that’s how he’s getting some info.

SO MANY MORE. I just don’t have the brain power to figure it out.

under the cut, you’ll find some information on my sweet little bean,  primrose “rosie” abdullahi, as well as some connection ideas  ♥♥  /  @riftedmedia​​

——  [ primrose “rosie” abdullahi, cis woman, thirty. ] hailing from prado verde, washington, this high school teacher was at a check up appointment for her daughter when the sudden departure happened and lost her 1 year old child & both of her parents. people tend to associate her with warm hugs that are much needed, pressed flowers, quiet sobs on a lonely night. she is at risk of being followed by the guilty remnant and will cry & beg them to leave her alone.

i.   profile,

full name.   ›   primrose anita abdullahi

nickname(s).   ›   rosie, miss abdullahi (by her students)

age.   ›   30 years old

gender, pronouns.   ›   cis woman, she/her

sexuality.   ›   bisexual

occupation.   ›   high school student & commissions flower arrangements on the side

                                  (  continued... )

ii.   important information,

triggers.  mentions of cheating, the loss of a child (not death - she just disappears)

› born and raised in the heart of prado verde to loving parents, irina & chinaka.  the second baby that came merely 20 minutes after her was quite a surprise to their parents. primrose had a twin sister all along  -  while their parents were surprised, they were absolutely ecstatic

›  she had a very typical upbringing.  she’d go to school, love learning, go home, do homework and then play with her sister + friends for the rest of the evening.  she was always a cheerful kid who loved love  &  loved her mother’s brownies even more

›  it’s no secret that her family is close-knit;  when you see rosie, her sister isn’t too far behind.  it’s sweet, really.  she has her mother’s hopeful eyes  &  her father’s bigger-than-life heart;  though that mix has gotten her hurt on more than one occasion

›  she goes to college as an education major  -  learning  &  teaching others is something she’s passionate about. she dreams of connecting to students on a personal level and making school a positive experience for them.  &  that dream most definitely came true.  she starts her teaching journey at just 24 years old and she absolutely loves every minute of it

›  her second dream, now, is to become a mother.  she wants to experience the motherly love like she and her own mother have; it’s a beautiful thing.  up to this point in her life, she’s only had 1 lover and it technically wasn’t real because he was dared to ask her out by his friends  -  so this dream would prove to be much harder to achieve than her previous one

›  primrose is 25 when she meets a man by the name of ezra swick; he had ordered a custom rose bouquet for his mother who had fallen ill  -  she asked him to keep her updated on his mother’s status and it’s history from there.  the pair started officially dating 4 months into their friendship (and honestly, their mutual friends were surprised it took them that long)

›   a few months after that, her second dream comes true. she falls pregnant with ezra’s child  -  the pair are in (happy) tears when they see the positive test result.  a few months later, they find out they’ll be having a beautiful baby girl

›  all good things must come to an end.  one afternoon, everyone at school is dismissed an hour early.  primrose walked in on ezra locking lips  &  getting handsy with his best friend, jodi.  she doesn’t remember much of that time; all she remembers is the pain.  the dreadful, soul breaking heartbreak

›  her daughter, odette, was born 2 months after the breakup.  despite still being heartbroken over the affair, primrose was over the moon to have her daughter. shje

›  primrose is 26 when her world crumbles before her eyes.  she’s at her daughter’s appointment. one second: all is well, the doctor is complimenting odette  &  mentioning how good of a baby she is, the next second: she’s alone in the room.  no doctor, no odette.  panic filled her entire body  -  so intense that she passed out.  &  the bad news only continues when she finds out her parents are gone too.  this isn’t how life was supposed to go

›  present day, primrose is still very much grieving over the disappearance of her daughter  &  parents;  honestly, that’s not something she thinks she’ll ever fully heal from. she’s a grade 12 english teacher & lives in a two-bedroom home in buena vista point alongside her white persian cat, blue, and her roommate 

iii.   wanted connections,

good friend & roommate.   ›   after the affair with ezra, you offered rosie a place to stay (which brought her to tears from how grateful she was)  -  she accepted.  when odette was born, you helped raise her  &  when she disappeared, you most definitely felt the effects. it’s a mutual agreement that you and rosie would become roommates after october 14th; neither of you wanted to be alone after that  ( 0 / 1 )

students.   ›   you were one of miss abdullahi’s beloved students.  she’s loved among the students and that’s a likely story for how you feel, too. or perhaps not.  ( 0 / ∞ )

childhood crush.   ›   it’s no secret that primrose has had a crush on you for the longest time; whether or not the feeling is mutual is totally up in the air. honestly - her feelings for you are still lingering inside her  ( 0 / ∞ )

                                (  continued... )

basic stats

full name: olga magnolia czerniawski

nicknames: none

age: twenty-nine

gender: trans woman

pronouns: she/her/hers

orientation: panromantic, ace spectrum

religion: jewish, practicing

occupation: nurse

place of birth: middle of nowhere, iowa

current residence: prado verde, washington

past

Born to two teen parents who “had to learn the consequences of their actions”. Her grandparents didn’t realize that meant they would run away with her.

They didn’t get very far considering they were still young, but they were out of their house. However, they were still in the same town.

She left to study in New York, and came back with a partner and a kid. Did we mention the addiction and the fact she’s been sober for six years?

Her partner was one of the departed, and it affects Olga still. She hasn’t gotten rid of their stuff, and apparently has no plans to. Just in case she comes back. But she won’t. She knows it’s better for all of them if she doesn’t. She just doesn’t want to admit it yet.

present

She’s been working as a nurse, especially within its birthing center, for a couple of years now.

Her child is now six years old, and she is a single mom.

She lives in the bueno vista pointe district, in a condo. 

Her mother is in the guilty remnant and she’s not sure how to handle it. She’s also not sure what to do if she does get her out. Live with her mom again?? Disgusting.

future

She’s pretty content with where she is in life, albeit pretty down in the dumps. It’s been years and she still can’t sleep at night because she misses her partner. Someone make her realize that she was trash!!

She’s trying to figure out how to get into her mom’s thick skull and get her to defect out of the guilty remnant. Will it work?

connections

COWORKERS OR RESIDENTS AT THE HOSPITAL. Either person could be the one that’s been there longer, and Olga loves to help when she can. Could even be past coworkers!

G.R. MEMBERS. Just in general. Totally not because she’s trying to figure out who’s closest to her mom so she can get her out. Or at least pass something to her. Seriously, what does it take to see your mother out here??

PREVIOUS DATES. You know someone tried to set her up. And you know it didn’t work. Could it this time around? Or was it that bad that you’d never want to see each other’s face again? This could even be that Olga simply was clueless about someone’s advances. Her and flirting do not get along.

NEIGHBORS. Olga is too friendly and would totally welcome someone into the complex.

OTHER PARENTS. Odette is currently six, and in kindergarten(?). There’s bound to be other parents in town. Kid’s got to socialize and get into her own little groups, right?
