QUICK BIOGRAPHY:  (tw: death mention. drug use mention)

childhood➵ he was born in a family that did not have much to their name, even less of a name to society, and he was the middle child of his siblings. before his dad passed, when axel was ten years old. he didn’t die or anything, he simply died to axel.  his dad did share his passion for music with his children before never returning from the buisness trip he took. axel was the one who picked it up most the knowledge and almost instantly fell in love with playing the guitar. he also fell in love with the idea of being in a band one day. axel grew up listening to a lot of 80s heavy metal/music and watching a lot of older movies. when his dad vanished, and his mother turned to drugs to numb her sadness, axe; ended up turning a bit more rebellious than anyone could have expected.

home life/school life ➵ the older axel got the less he liked being called axel and preferred “axe” instead. things at home became harder as he became more of a rebel, much to his mothers dismay, he had a run in with the law once or twice. he almost got his mother arrested one day due to her pissing him off a bit too much that day, but ultimately he didn’t. he left home to live with his friends/couch surfing when he was nineteen.  things in school were surprisingly good, though, because axe was actually very smart and often came out top of his class. he was easy to get along with and made friends with almost anyone. there were times he got into fights, suspended too, but ultimately he did end up passing in the top of his class.

dreams ➵ axe has always dreamed of two things; becoming a rockstar in a rockin’ band & becoming a forensic scientist and help solve crime cases. because of life neither one of those has been achieved just yet, but he continues to work on it! he now lives in roswell, new mexico while both working actively to seek out anyone wanting to join a band and as one of the managers at feel good records.

band mates ➵ he would play the lead guitar but he’s looking for a drummer, a bassist, & lead guitarist.

more ➵ anything else that is plotted! would love more connections <3!

michael trevino & he&him/cis male ‷ watch out , mateo cortez has crash-landed into roswell !! they look thirty-five and celebrate their birthday on the thirteenth of april. they are from roswell, new mexico reside in tripp’s trailer park and are currently working as animal caretaker at puhlman’s ranch. one thing you should know about them is they fully believe hollywood is made up of clones. ‷ 

tw: caution! this intro contains mentions of drugs and cartel activity

mateo cortez was born into a family that always seemed to have a lot of money, but up until he was older, he never did know why exactly that was. lucky for him, or unlucky depending on how you viewed it, he became the spark of his dad’s eye. anything he wanted his dad  would make sure he had it.

the older mateo got the more he began to see the world around him for what it really was…just a pretty picture. his father was one of the main bosses for a  latin cartel; the man was in charge of both transporting drugs and weapons to and from mexico.

he grew up with beautiful things around him, sure, but he also saw a lot of the bad things this world had to offer. he saw what happened to anyone who crossed his father,  he saw how his mother, despite loving his father dearly, felt more trapped than happy in the marriage she was in. it all taught him a lot of things, but most of all, it taught him that no matter what he always had to be true to his heart in the end.

he doesn’t really date much and if he does it’s mainly because he is forced by his parents to give things a chance with said person for whatever reason. he always tells people to take his public relationships with a grain of salt but people never listen and always assume he’s just either scared of commitment or easily swayed from his partners. truth was, he didn’t have the heart to accidentally tangle someone up in his mess of a life. 

he’s only ever had one ex that he’s held dear to his heart, but his father hated them. as a result he wasn’t able to make the relationship last, but it’s one he looks back on fondly. (wc soon to be posted)

he’s fun spirited, sarcastic for days, and loves dark colors. however, despite his love for the paranormal and creepy, christmas is his favorite holiday and halloween comes close second.

despite the fact that his father does expect mateo to fill his shoes after he passes, mateo tries to stay as far away from that life as he possibly can. he’s currently been a animal caretaker at puhlman’s ranch for about two years now and he doesn’t see himself wanting to really leave the position. he loves caring for the animals, helping them deliver their babies, tending to them when they are sick, and all he wants is to continue doing that for the rest of his days. 

his sexuality is uncertain to him. he’s never really known that part of him. on one hand he understands his father wants him to eventually have his own kids and settle down so as to carry the family name on and on the other hand mateo himself isn’t too sure he’s looking to have the family his dad quiet pictured in mind. he’s had a couple of boyfriends on the down low here and there, secret hook ups, but for the most part he tries not to overthink things. who knows, maybe he will end up with the perfect wife and life one day after all.

biography under the cut

car accident and ptsd mentions tw;

“That child is going to be trouble,” they said. 

“I will rain so much legal brimstone on this school that it would make God jealous,” she said before taking her daughter out for ice cream. The crime? Punching a fellow student for bullying.

The daughter of two powerhorse lawyers, Jade Sullivan was raised not to tolerate nonsense from anyone. They wanted her to make a mark on the world, telling her to never go quietly. It wasn’t her grades they were impressed by; rather,  it was the way she connected with people even from a young age, always fighting the good fight.

It was obvious what captured her attention as a young girl: soccer. Each year, she looked forward to summer simply because she could play every day without school to distract her. She kept telling everyone she’d make it big one day. If Jade Sullivan put her mind to it, she made it happen. Her parents knew she was not one to be underestimated, and put whatever resources they had to ensure her dreams came true.

 “She’s too intimidating,” they said. 

They always seemed terrified asking her out -- but those brave enough were quickly passed over, her interest in them minimal and fleeting at best. For the longest time, she figured it was due to her ambitious nature. Why date when she could focus entirely on her future? Once everything clicked, everything clicked. Coming out was a mixed bag of reactions in her family, some of them wondering why she insisted on making her life harder by being out and proud. 

Popular simply because she looked out for everyone and if you fucked with her people, she fucked with you. She was nice until she wasn’t. Sometimes it meant a good, swift punch and sometimes it meant ruining your life through psychological means -- ruining your reputation, getting you kicked off the team, providing receipts to the parents. Her popularity meant she had eyes and ears everywhere. She was the kind of woman people owed favors to because she used them to help other people. Putting her high school soccer team on the map was merely an added bonus.

An unfortunate injury as a result of a freak car accident derailed her chances of being recruited to a national soccer team. Doctors said years of physical therapy was needed to return to a sense of normalcy. In the midst of it all, she had an unfortunate falling out with her parents due to her refusal to go to therapy for her post-traumatic stress disorder. The accident didn’t just hurt her physically; it took a toll on her mental state. 

The woman had too much ambition not to make it big somewhere.  With a natural affinity for manipulation and putting a spin on stories, she went to one of the best colleges for public relations. Taking on a full course workload while going through months of intense physical therapy was the Jade Sullivan way. An internship with a major league sports team turned into a full fledged career after graduation. She would soon find out a former classmate, who had found success with the team, insisted on her hiring, having regaled stories from their high school years. It was a frustrating thing to know because of the casual racism put on display -- she had been nearly passed over for a white man with less qualifications. 

Her ambitious nature and work ethic had her climbing the ladder over the years. Despite not being at the top, she’d consider herself as the person running things due to her subtle machinations and blackmail material she held over them. She was friendly with those on the ‘lower rung’, so to speak -- they liked to talk. And naturally, she was more than happy to listen.

After seven years of working her life away, she had rendered herself important enough to request working from ‘home’ in Roswell, only coming in for meetings with the upper echelon of the team.

jessica henwick & she/they & gender queer watch out , amity aubert has crash-landed into roswell !! they look twenty eight years old and celebrate their birthday on febuary 15th. they are from new york city, new york, reside in moonbeam gardens and are currently working as a travel columnist. one thing you should know about them is her parents are divorced so they grew up in both new york and paris, france. 

trigger warnings for divorce, parental death

tldr; child of a ballerina and a choreographer, she's trying to find a place to settle down and maybe start a career in investigative journalism rather than a travel columnist.

BIOGRAPHY:

Ever since she was a little girl, Amity's mother Yingyue wanted to be a ballerina and her father, Dennis, a famous choreographer. From the moment that the two of them were young, they both began dancing, training day and night in order to make it to the top. Yingyue grew up in England with her family and eventually moved to Paris in order to attend a school in France, which turned out to be the same school that Dennis was attending for choreography. The two quickly bonded and eventually married right before graduating college. Though their marriage didn't last long as Yingyue eventually got her break and Dennis was a bit jealous of her success where he was failing. They got divorced after three and a half years of marriage, but gained a child in the process. And although the two didn't work out romantically, they both remained friends.

At the age of three, Dennis got a job in New York City for a broadway show, where he moved Amity, leaving her mother in Paris as she'd just gotten a role in a ballet. NYC was a very different culture than he was used to and Dennis struggled with being a single father in a new city. Though it didn't take long for him to find his stride with a group of other single working parents. There he met the man that would become his second partner, giving Amity another sibling in the process, Macy. Amity spent much of her childhood going back and forth between her parents. Holidays that were important were celebrated as a family, despite her parents not being together.

From a young age, Amity had a love of travelling. She had always enjoyed the freedom of seeing other places and getting to move new places. When she was in Paris and was old enough to, she would travel around Europe with friends or even her sister and at fourteen started her own travel blog. It wasn't very popular at first, but by the time she was in college, it had really taken off. Amity knew that travelling was probably something she wanted to do as an adult, so in college she ended up getting her degree in communications.

Amity's college years were filled with the normal ups and downs of becoming an adult. She took her education seriously and gained an appreciation for the opportunities that she had as a young child. For the most part, Amity did her best to stay on the path that she had chosen for herself. College is where she had her first boyfriend, then girlfriend, and then learned that she didn't really fit in with the gender norms either. They expanded their world view and appreciation for other cultures.

After college, Amity travelled for a bit, working with some large magazines and wrote some articles for a couple of well known travel websites, mostly doing freelance work. They enjoyed their job, loving the idea that they never had to spend more than a little bit of time in each location, seeing new things all the time. That life did become exhausting and eventually she wanted to settle down somewhere.

Last year her mother passed away and Amity was left with quite a large amount of inheritance. She used that to buy a house in Roswell of all places, finding it neat and wanting to maybe use that as a way to get into some more heavy hitting investigative journalism. They don't know where to start though because... well, they don't really believe all the alien hype and where the town got this whole gimmick to begin with.

ellie bamber & she/her & cis female watch out , holland bryant has crash-landed into roswell !! they look - years old and celebrate their birthday on june 10th. they are from london, england, reside in greystone complex and are currently working as a cashier at feel good records. one thing you should know about them is despite being from england, she tells people she’s from vermont and masks her english accent. 

trigger warnings for child neglect, child abuse (mental), gaslighting, cult note: the triggers are pretty engrained in the bio, but not written explicitly. read with caution. for those who would prefer to not read, the tldr is above the cut and the last paragraph does contain some relevant information on how she ended up in roswell as well as the general perception of her.

tldr; a girl just trying to find her way after being isolated from society by her parents until she turned eighteen and ran away after finding their "doomsday" plan.

BIOGRAPHY: 

Daniel Bright and Morgan Lee met in college where Daniel was studying to be a geneticist and Morgan was studying biology. The two only met because they both had a work ethic that was better than most of the other students at the college. They quickly found that they both liked to be in the labs at the same time and started hanging out outside of working on their own projects. Though they had few friends, it was no surprise to anyone that the two of them started dating and got married. Both of them landed jobs in their respective fields after graduating with PhDs. Not long after Cassidy was born and the family moved to a comfortable home in Salt Lake City, Utah. Three years after Cassidy came their son, Henry. Holland was a bit of an accident when both Cassidy was sixteen and Henry was just about to turn thirteen, but none the less an excitement to the family.

While Holland’s childhood was particularly boring and not very interesting, she was mostly raised by her siblings. It wasn’t until Holland turned eight that things began to change in her house. Although the Brights did their best to shelter their children from the news, the two older children were able to pick up on what was going on around them. Holland, being too young to understand, had no idea what her parents were scared of, which was fine enough for her parents. Holland’s life mostly didn’t change, but she noticed her parents pulling away from society more and more. Their city home home traded for a house in the country. Then things started disappearing: phones, television, radio. The books she had access to, changed to older book, written before her time with no events from the present. She didn’t know any better, though her siblings did. When she turned thirteen, her brother left home and her parents became unhinged, opening up their home to other like minded people, creating a community behind closed doors, something dangerous.

Instead of going to school like a normal child, the Bright family previously homeschooled their children, then let their community teach them. The people in their community were well vetted individuals. Anything strange or unusual was reported on by other members and then the guilty party was forced to leave, or so Holland was told. If that was actually the case, she wasn’t told otherwise. Since most media was banned from their house, so she learned to draw, learned to entertain herself with whatever her parents did allow in the house. Holland grew up hearing arguments between her older sister and her parents about how they were prisoners in their own home, yet they still had more freedoms to leave than Holland ever had. But it was the only thing she’d ever known, so how could she complain? 

Holland always felt like a bit of an outsider among her family members, though she never knew why. Her life was a constant state of not feeling like she could trust or talk to anyone. She grew into a kid surrounded by money, surrounded by people, but isolated and lonely to a point that she was sure other people didn’t live like this. Years and years of asking her parents why they weren’t allowed to leave the house and go into town and why they had to learn from tutors rather than school like some people. She never got an answer.

By the time she was fifteen, her siblings had moved out by then, it was only Holland and her parents. Cassidy did come home often, as she ended up in school not too far away, but Holland never heard from her brother. Holland was told there were monsters in the world. People capable of harming her with dangerous weapons, angry people that wanted her dead. Holland was told she was safe at home, safe behind closed doors and away from the general public. “We’re doing everything we can to protect you from them,” her mom said, misty eyed. And who was Holland to distrust anything her mom said? “We want to stop these monsters from hurting people,” her dad told her. Holland believed him. Her parents gave her more freedoms then, more books to read and information about the world around her, even if it was all a lie. Misinformation written by members of the community in order to show her what kinds of people there were in the world. 

Holland believed them, until she was eighteen and found a locked door in the mansion and her parents’ Doomsday plan. But what did that mean? How could the world really be that horrible? She didn’t understand how just humans could be that terrible. And yet they had news stories about good things, new stories about their community and what people thought about them. Cult. That’s what this was. Horrified by this information, she stole a bunch of money from her parents, paid someone to forge documents with a new name, and moved out of the country. If she kept a low enough profile, her parents would never find her. After all, they’d never found Henry.

She ended up in Roswell because Holland always loved the small town feel that she got. Holland likes knowing who most of her neighbors are. Ever since leaving home, she got really into music and more into art. Most people that know her, don't know about her past, thinking only that she was probably pretty sheltered. Holland can come off as a bit sarcastic and kind of guarded, but she means well.

joe keery he/him/cis man “ watch out , NATHAN 'NATE' HACKETT has crash-landed into roswell !! they look thirty years old and celebrate their birthday on march fifteenth. they are from reno, nevada, reside in the GREYSTONE COMPLEX and are currently working as an attendant at the lunar laundromat. one thing you should know about them is back in reno, his parents’ garage has his collection of comics and fan memorabilia – combined, they’re worth over $500,000. ” ( guppy, mst, she/her, 21 )

PINTEREST // SPOTIFY HEY, EVERYONE ! my name is guppy (or leila, but you can call me either) and i am twenty-one. i am about to study abroad in australia, but for the current time being i am in mst (mountain standard timezone). i will be playing nate hackett, who is a lover of all things comic books and punk/grunge music. keep reading for a bit more about him and his past!

–* THE PAST / PRESENT

nate is the second youngest of five children (two older brothers – brian & james, one older sister – heather, and a younger sister – beth) and was born/raised in reno, nevada. his dad has retired but owned his own appliance repair business. nate's mother was an emergency room nurse, but she has also retired. his parents now both live in a retirement community in north carolina so they can visit the beaches in the summer season. his eldest sibling inherited the hackett home back in reno, where nate's comic and fan memorabilia collection is stored.

since there were five kids in the hackett house, it was always kind of a whirlwind. there were always birthdays happening, friends tromping through the house, holidays with extended family, and fights over room/toy/clothes sharing. the one thing that nate had to himself was his love of all things geeky.

none of his other siblings shared his interest in various comic books, card/tabletop games, and movies. he was free to explore those interests all on his own.

every week, nate would use his lunch money to buy new issues of comics being serialized. he would draw, at first, by tracing the panels in comics that he found the most intriguing. he branched off to drawing his own heroes and villains, writing storylines for them, and stapling together stacks of printer paper he had turning them into "comics."

the same store where he bought his comics in reno also held various tabletop gaming nights where nate met many friends who shared his interests.

nate got his first job as a sophomore in high school at the comic shop, it was where he spent most of his time anyways so he might as well get paid to be there.

when it came time to decide on after high school plans, nate's dad was urging him to take on the family trade of appliance repair. already, nate's two eldest siblings were working on the family business. one had gone to technical school to become an electrician and the other had done training in general appliance repair while apprenticing with nate's dad.

his third eldest sibling had disappointed nate's mom and dad by leaving nevada and going out of state to study communications. they wanted to be a journalist, not work for the family's appliance repair business.

nate was about to disappoint them just as much, he applied not only for technical schools but out-of-state colleges as well. the university of new mexico gave him a hefty scholarship, and the opportunity to study visual art, but to appease his parents he chose instead to go to central new mexico community college to study heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR).

he loved new mexico so much, though, that he made the decision not to return home after completing his associates. his parents were upset at his decision, but were still proud of the fact that he had chosen to pursue the family's trade with appliance repair. he made the move to roswell after living in albuquerque from the time he was 18 to the time he was 24. while in albuquerque he was working as an appliance repairman but he honestly hated having to constantly zip around from house to house everyday just to do his job. he made the decision that he wanted to work somewhere stable.

when he saw the lunar laundromat in roswell was hiring, he thought it was the perfect fit. he had the skills to fix the washers and dryers when they went down, but he was also could sit at the counter and read comic books during the downtime he had. he could also work on drawing his own comic.

currently his paycheck goes to four things: rent/bills, groceries, comics, and art supplies.

he still does some freelance repair work for extra cash on the side. but, you'll mainly find him at either the lunar landromat, forbidden planet, or at home.

personality wise: nate is real geeky, he appreciates a good pun and rarely takes anything seriously. he will gladly ramble on and on about anything and everything that is related to his favorite subjects (art, comics, magic: the gathering, pokemon cards, the star wars franchise, the warner bros monsterverse, and other weird old movies)

his favorite color is a red-orange, he frequently wears his red-orange windbreaker and a las vegas 51s baseball cap. he prefers dc to marvel, especially because his favorite series is swamp thing. he is most proud of the fact he owns swamp thing #1 with a 9.6 certified guaranty company (cgc) rating. this means it is in near mint condition and alone is worth approx. $1k. he also has a personalized autograph from len wein (the original writer of the series).

he frequently drives to comic cons in the western states (primarily CO, NM, AZ, NV, and CA). for his 18th birthday, his parents bought him VIP passes for san diego comic con which was like his dream come true.

–* POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS

since i know it can be difficult to find some connections off the bat here are some possible suggestions to get ideas flowing. i am also a fan of just starting threads and seeing where muse's chemistry goes.

D&D PARTY MEMBERS / we already know what a huge nerd nate is, but if your muse is also a nerd i am sure nate would love some party members for a d&d group in roswell. rather than an actual dining table, nate's apartment has a board game table. he just eats on his couch instead and uses the board game table for get togethers with the party. this doesn't have to be exclusive to D&D, but could extend to MTG and/or pokemon

FREQUENT FREELANCE CLIENT / is your muse prone to accidents? constantly blaming mercury in retrograde for their fridge breaking or their AC unit leaking? nate is happy to help, for a small price or a gift card to the forbidden planet so he can buy the latest issue of that one comic he's reading.

LAUNDROMAT PALS / since it takes at least forty-five minutes to get a small load of laundry washed and dried, nate is happy to entertain and talk to customers as they wait for their clothes to finish up. if you're real nice to him, he may even give you a detergent pod for free so you don't have to risk a couple of quarters at the janky dispenser.

EMERGENCY CONTACT / since nate's family is all out of state, it could be useful to have a ride-or-die who he can call at any time for anything. he definitely has broken a couple of fingers or slipped while jamming out too hard to the chats while in the shower. who you gonna call? nate's emergency contact!

jaylin, prefers to be called jay, is the first born of the pierce family. stan and joan were highschool sweethearts who had their child at a young age and by the time jay was born, his parents were in their late twenties. they were both huge fans of star wars, theatre, movies, sci-fy things, and jay also shared these same interests the older they got. they especially dove into games, he just couldn’t get enough of them, and they were exceptionally good at almost any game they played. so much so that at a young age he entered tournaments and ended up winning more than anyone had expected.

in school they were a friendly, outgoing, jokester kind of person. they always greeted everyone with a smile and never really got into fights; unless it was to defend someone from getting bullied. jay’s professors all considered him to be a good kid, even though they sometimes did have to give them detention for being a class clown. during high school jay met WANTED CONNECTION who became their highschool sweetheart from tenth grade all the way through senior year. they were jay’s first everything and even after their break up, he never held any hard feelings over it. they continue to be good friends with this person and consider them a very special part of their life.

they had never felt like college was for them but they went anyway to please their parents. there they majored in video game programming and development and even if they didn’t care to be in college, they loved the classes they were in. one day during his second semester in college they were making their way to speak to one of their professors but it turns out they were not in their office, instead jay came across their assistant. they couldn’t even explain how it happened but one second he was asking about some help with the current assignment and the next the two had been talking for hours about a bunch of other things. from that day forward the most unlikely of friendships formed with WANTED CONNECTION. 

now a days they live with their roommate, WANTED CONNECTION, and bearded dragon named godzilla. they love their job as one of the managers at the galactica gift shop, and often treat their employees like their family. jay is probably one of the chillest bosses one could have and they take pride in that. 

wanted connections: TBD (outside of the ones in the intro!)

Although when he's not on the clock, he's at home sleeping, playing video games, eating junk food, and probably hanging out with the few friends he still has lying around from high school. Ollie is bisexual and uses he/him pronouns. He's an extrovert who will almost never say no to a party. The absolute king of getting stoned and doing nothing...

BIOGRAPHY

‷ Watch out , Imogen Simon has crash-landed into Roswell !! They look twenty-five years old and celebrate their birthday on March 20th. They are from Big Bear Lake, CA, reside in Neptune Avenue and are currently working as an aquarist and researcher. One thing you should know about them is they competed in the 2016 summer olympics as a swimmer."

Born in Big Bear, CA. Adopted by a single dad named Isaac shortly after she was born. Together they were a dynamic duo through the years.

Isaac was a marine-life rescuer who would travel all around the globe for conservation and environmental advocacy and assistance. Imogen travelled in tow since she was a babe and quickly fell in-love with marine life herself.

Due to the constant travel, she was homeschooled and was incredibly mature for her age. Constantly being around adults, she wasn't afraid to ask questions and became rather inquisitive and intelligent with age.

When she was eight years old, her father was approached by the Discovery Channel. For the next ten years together they traveled to aquariums around the globe to help improve the facilities, education, and care of the animals. (Think Steve Irwin meets Hell's Kitchen).

Imogen was his sidekick on the show and began to grow her own following by teaching kids about marine life and conservation.

By the time she was 18, Isaac and Imogen Simon were household names have been invited to a handful of experiences and events, and the show came to an end. She went off to college and Isaac sought love for himself and early retirement.

Went to college in Boston where she studied marine science. Is wanting to make her own name a part from her father.

Has been in Roswell since college working at the aquarium that had helped out when she was twelve years old. She found the town to be one of the most unique places she's ever been and figured it would be a great start for her own career.

Works as an aquarist and researcher at the aquarium. Favorite part is getting to educate kids about marine-life and to see their engagement.

Known to be a bit socially awkward, but means well. Considered to be intelligent, diplomatic, considerate and empathetic. Also has the tendency to be non-confrontational and sometimes self-pitying.

Enjoys sea creature more than people, likes a nice cup of tea, and swims regularly. On her downtime, she runs a Youtube account where she vlogs as well as has a podcast and does photography for fun.

— INTRODUCING: flora summers.

aisha dee & she/her cis woman ‷ watch out , flora summers has crash-landed into roswell !! they look twenty-eight years old and celebrate their birthday on the twenty-first of june. they are from roswell, new mexico, reside in aurora apartments and are currently working as a clerk and seamstress at better off duds. one thing you should know about them is that she won’t be caught dead wearing boring clothes and has her own little side project as a freelance textile designer called to dye for where she designs prints and patterns, creates her own custom pieces to sell online and happily takes commissions‷

The Basics.

Full Name: Flora Summers Face Claim: Aisha Dee Pronouns and Gender: ciswoman (she/her) Birthday and Age: June 21st, 1994 (28) Zodiac: gemini ☉ sagittarius ☽ pisces ➶ Hometown: Roswell, NM How long have they been living there? All her life. Sexuality: bisexual Neighborhood: Aurora Apartments Occupation: Seamstress at Better off Duds & Freelance Textile Designer Family: Harold Summers (father), Louane Summers (mother)

The Personality.

A lot of people poke fun at Flora’s name, mostly because she really does live up to it. She’s a bright, warm presence that is usually both empathetic and level-headed. That doesn’t mean that she doesn’t pack a punch though, considering that every now and then she can crack a joke to break the silence or make a snarky remark that seemingly slips out. Overall, Flora is a loveable dork that will go out of her way to help those out who need it and always makes time for an extra job or two. On her bad days, Flora can be a bit too in her head, overthinking every little choice she’s ever made and beating herself up over not being enough. Yet, she tries not to give into it and tries to face herself with the same humor and enthusiasm she has in store for her friends and loved ones.

The Biography.

Flora’s parents own the local thrift store Better Off Duds and are known as a warm and kind presence in the town. They used to be big fish in the fashion industry - her mom’s a fashion designer, her dad’s a tailor but they realized that it was never quite what they wanted from their life and decided to move back home and start anew.

From a young age, Flora knew that fashion was the field she wanted to get into as well, considering she was always so curious about her family’s work and what they did to help resell the clothes they got, tailoring and fixing them before doing so and creating something new out of something old

thanks to that idea, she’s never liked buying new clothing - she’s very much into the sustainable kind of lifestyle and does a lot of re- and upcycling in whatever capacity she can

in fact, she’s been doing so since she was a kid! She was always obsessed with making her clothes more personalized and eventually started sewing on patches of colorful fabrics onto her torn up clothes, drew on her jeans or dyed them if her mom let her get away with it

school was never really what she wanted to do either. she was a good student and liked to learn new things but she knew she’d probably be better off not going to college

instead, she worked at the store and helped her parents as much as she could and in return had time to take courses (ranging from pattern making, to design and sewing) to improve her skills. Before she knew it, she traveled across the country to attend textiles trade shows for inspiration

over the years, she got better and better at her craft and with her parents’ help and a lot of practice, she’s now a self-taught seamstress and freelance textile designer

her interest in the latter eventually resulted in a pipe dream of hers - an online business called To Dye For which is rather popular around town. It’s where she designs prints and patterns and creates her own custom pieces. She sells some at the store in her very own little section but takes on commissions as well!

It’s easy for her to win clients over by being friendly and not afraid to talk and connect to people - she got that from her dad who is a very kind presence and considering she grew up in the store, she picked up on it quickly and adapted it to her everyday life

Today, the Summers still upcycle clothes in their spare time and have their own little extra section in the store.

Ultimately, Flora wants nothing more than to make parents proud and continue her life in the town, yet she’s constantly torn between wanting to pursue her business growth and planning on taking over her parents’ store one day.

She doesn’t want to disappoint them but also doesn’t know how to combine her dream with the vision she had for herself ever since she was a kid

Her life had always been very structured and planned but nowadays, she has the need to break free without leaving her roots behind - a constant struggle she’s still learning to deal with.

The Connections.

friends (childhood friends since she's a local, new friends, fellow fashion enthusiasts,...)

customers

someone who helps her pack her online business orders and will listen to her rants about design choices

anything really!

— INTRODUCING: asher finch.

felix mallard & he/him / cisman ‷ watch out , asher finch has crash-landed into roswell !! they look twenty-six years old and celebrate their birthday on the twenty-second of april. they are from roswell, new mexico, reside in tripp's trailer park and are currently working as a clerk at galactica gift shop and bartender at the wild pony. one thing you should know about them is that he actually can lick his own elbow and has worked hard on that skill.‷ 

The Basics.

Full Name: Asher Finch Face Claim: Felix Mallard Pronouns and Gender: cisman (he/him) Birthday and Age: April 22nd, 1996 (26) Zodiac: taurus ☉ cancer ☽ sagittarius ➶ Hometown: Roswell, NM How long have they been living there? All his life. Sexuality: fluid Neighborhood: Tripp's Trailer Park Occupation: Clerk at Galactica Gift Shop & Bartender at the Wild Pony Family: Edward "Eddy" Finch (father), Isabella "Bella" Finch (mother)

The Personality.

Asher is the definition of a slacker. He's a small town boy through and through who still hangs around the same places and hideouts as he did when he was a kid. He's someone who never really had any greater ambitions other than getting some deadbeat job so he could have enough money to buy booze and weed for his friends and him and just have a good time. He barely made it through high school, not because he's not smart enough but simply because he hated the system he was put in and never bothered to study properly. However, he does like to read, to skate, to just hang out and doesn't mind the fact that every now and then he has to work - aka do the bare minimum to not get fired. Asher often pretends he doesn't really care much about anything yet, deep down, he cares about the people close to him but has a hard time showing them or letting them know without turning it into a joke.

The Biography.

trigger warnings: mentions of child neglect, alcohol and drug use

born and raised in roswell, new mexico, for generations, the finches weren't exactly known as the most stable or white picket fence kind of family

eddy and bella had come from rather humble beginnings themselves, sweethearts who'd met in kindergarten and got engaged through buying each other ring pops while getting high together but ended up with a kid they didn't have the resources to care for way too early into their young life

being raised by two adults who were still kids essentially, paved the way for asher who, while loved to the moon and back, had never really known what it meant to grow up and take responsibility

he was a latchkey kid, left to his own devices more often than not while his parents stayed out late at a local bar but nonetheless, he felt like he had everything he needed, not knowing what he was missing

but the young pair tried their best to raise their son, not always succeeding but doing what they could and while asher always had a loving parent and a roof over his head, he lacked one thing - guidance

he never believed in rolemodels and he's still under the impression that he never needed any to begin with but following into the long gone finches' footsteps, he found himself in a life with little to no rules but a rather hedonistic approach

school was mainly a way to occupy himself, a reason to stay out and let his old folks sleep well into noon but frankly, he was never really good at it, mostly because he got bored and sidetracked easily

he'd rather skip school with friends and hang out in empty parking lots way past his curfew (but who checked really?), learning new tricks on his skateboard and smoking behind abandoned houses

now, years later, he works at the local gift shop, mostly because he gets to hang out there and talk shit about tourists

he by no means works hard enough to run himself into the ground but just enough to not get fired which to him is more than enough

he now lives in a small trailer near his parents' that he fixed up with a little help from his friends and is a plant boi™️ (do they die because he gets sidetracked and forgets to water them? absolutely but he's trying!!)

to most, he looks a little mean and will roll his eyes at most people to mark his territory but he's really just very chill and usually vibing either on his own or with friends

asher is and aways has been an outdoorsy type of guy and loves every kind of activity you can do in nature as in lay around in meadows playing card games or skating/biking around town

like a bunch of other kids around town, he doesn't really know what he wants to do in life but he's working on it

he's interested in a bunch of things but also has the attitude that things are fine the way they are and he makes enough money to live comfortably (for him) so it's all good and he'll likely just continue as it was since it has never broke badly for him

The Connections.

childhood/high school friends

neighbors/fellow trailer park residents

fellow latchkey kids that he hung out with either after or during school hours (oops)

coworkers

drinking/smoking buddies

skate buddies

BIO

roswell native, raised by her grandparents after her mom was arrested for armed robbery at a Walgreen's when she was 4.

growing up andi was a latchkey kid, but would get bored and wander around the neighborhood, and then further exploring downtown and things when she absolutely shouldn't have been.

her grandparents attempted to keep her a 'good kid' took her to church, took her to youth groups, all of which andi accepted happily as it was something to do, but didn't really buy into religion. she just liked to socialize.

got caught for shoplifting at a Sephora when she was like 14, and was immediately told to get her act together before she ended up like her mom.

she did, sort of, take that seriously and did stop shoplifting. however, she rebelled elsewhere, started going to parties, sneaking out at night and getting high with friends.

the first party at a rich kid's house she went to, she stole a necklace from the kid's parents' bedroom, and yes, she does still have it and still wears it every day. thank you very much.

it became a habit at any house she visited she's stolen at least one thing, and it's usually something super innocuous and weird, usually something no one would ever notice.

she graduated high school and immediately settled into slacker mode, taking a 'gap year' with no intention of actually going to college

she told her grandparents she was backpacking around europe for a month when she was 18, but was actually in san diego fucking around and getting high on a beach for a month straight

when her mom got out of jail, andi moved into a trailer in tripp's trailer park with her, their little attempt at bonding again.

andi does not have her shit together, and happily so. she is very friendly, and will talk to anyone who gives her the tiniest amount of attention, she just wants to hang out with everyone and have a chill fun time.

CHARACTER INFORMATION:

FULL NAME: Julia ‘Jules’ Stanton

PRONOUNS AND GENDER: Cis woman, she/her

SEXUALITY: Bisexual

OCCUPATION: High school custodian

TL;DR:

trigger warnings: death

roswell native

her dad was a middle school principal, and her mom ran this little apothecary shop downtown, which is where Julia spent every second of every day she was allowed to

Shortly after they settled in, her mom started to act?? strange?? She was erratic and forgetful. No one thought too much of it until she accidentally burned down the apothecary shop and couldn't explain what had happened. They took her to the doctor to find out that at the age of 32 she had early onset dementia. Deterioration was pretty fast after that – by the time she died six years later, she had stopped remembering the strangers in her house.

jules took it super hard and spent a lot of time blaming her dad even though there was literally nothing that man could've done. she started acting out, and he kind of just thought she would grow out of it.

she did not – current miscreant and a MENACE but she’s Trying

former gifted kid burnout n now she is a high school custodian bc life comes at you fast

very much a ‘just go with it’ kind of person, even if ‘just going with it’ kind of makes her the architect of her own destruction? big fan of blaming the universe for her problems, even if it’s almost always a three-step trace back to ‘the consequences of her own actions.’

[cashsfm]

ben barnes & he&him/ cis man ‷ watch out , cash cannon has crash-landed into roswell !! they look thirty-eight years old and celebrate their birthday on 20th of august. they are from clarksville, tennessee, reside in tripp’s trailer park and are currently working a band teacher at the high school. one thing you should know about them is he and his older brother helped raise their younger brother.‷

TW: abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, trauma, abandonment

full name: casey ray cannon, but don’t call him anything but cash

birthdate: august 20th, 1984

age: 39

height: 6’1”

sexuality: bisexual / biromantic

birthplace: clarksville, tennessee

fun facts:

cash cannon has had a colorful life, and if you ask him to elaborate on that, there’s a good chance that he won’t

born second in the cannon brood, cash was only a couple years younger than striker, but he treated his older brother like a rockstar

he followed his brother around constantly, two steps behind at all times so he couldn’t ever be left out

the two were thick as thieves but still opposites in their own right

while striker was the spitting image of their father, cash looked just like their mama, and even had her sweet disposition

she introduced him to books and music and taught him how to cook in the kitchen, and while his father considered those to be things a boy didn’t know how to do, that didn’t stop him from enjoying them

but music was his favorite — johnny cash in particular — and the boy couldn’t be found without his little radio that was a birthday gift from his mama

he was seven when he decided that he didn’t want to be called casey ray, and was adamant that everyone call him ‘cash’

but it was also around this time that he began to see the fury in his father’s eyes

for the most part he was shielded from it, hearing only broken glass and screams emitting from the kitchen while he hid under the covers of his bed or ran directly to striker’s room for protection

but as cash got older, the more he recognized the signs of abuse

his mama’s spirit broke more and more everyday, and by the time he was ten and dodge came into the world, he watched her disappear entirely

cash felt empty without her around, but his top priority was taking care of striker and dodge, and that’s just what he did

there were plenty of nights where he’d put himself between his father and his brothers, suffering injuries ranging from bruises shaped like fingertips to a broken wrist

but cash never put the burden of his abuse on his brothers, thankful that he could take it instead of them most days

his teenage years were spent causing a ruckus, often getting caught breaking into abandoned buildings or getting drunk in the park with a group of his friends

it was his version of being reckless, and getting away with it was further encouragement

that didn’t mean cash was a bad kid, though; he was still sweet as pie and as respectful as possible, and that was enough to get him by

despite her departure and lack of communication, cash was still bound and determined to make his mama proud

he worked hard and studied hard in school, making her his grades were picture perfect

when the time came to apply for colleges, he was accepted into every school he sought out, but ultimately chose to stay close to home

he majored in education with a minor in music, the real goal to become a music teacher so he could make a better life for himself and his brothers

thankfully cash was able to achieve that dream, making high marks and graduating from college with honors

he secured a job as a band teacher at the local high school, and despite not really having his shit together, he managed to hold himself professionally during working hours

but the rough home life persisted, and by the time he was twenty-eight years old, he and his brothers were packing up and leaving clarksville

it was better for all three of them that way, and cash knew he’d be able to get a new job elsewhere

when the cannon brothers crash-landed in roswell, it was like everything fell into place nicely

he got a job at the high school, bought himself a trailer, and shoved it onto the lot right next to his older brother’s

cash knew that he’d be able to afford a nicer place, but being in close proximity with striker and dodge was far more important

these days, he lives a cozy life in tripp’s trailer park, enjoying his job to the fullest and being the best teacher he could be — and that’s evident from how much his students love him

he still continues his reckless behavior, often spotted at the local roswell dive bars and dance clubs chatting people up in the hopes of bringing them home with him later on

it isn’t uncommon for him to be out until the sun comes up but still in his classroom by seven in the morning so he could teach

he has a fear of commitment since his mom left, his childhood dredging up a lot of terrible memories and thus resulting in his refusal to hold down a real relationship

he’s incredibly nurturing just by instinct alone, always the first to check up on you or bring you things to make you feel better

he has a stupid sense of humor, often laughing at the simplest things, though it’s always incredibly genuine

can be extremely charming if and when he wants to be, though the charm is usually only turned on when he’s flirting

unironically owns a cowboy hat and boots, though he only breaks them out for special occasions

striker and dodge are always put first, and he considers them his very best friends
