danielle rose russell   /   cis female     🎄     christmas  spirit  welcomes  calliope ‘ callie ‘  meadows  to  the  magical  town  of  perston  .  the twenty  year  old waitress  has  lived  here  for  half  of  her life  and  is curious  about  the  holiday  calendar .  their  conscientious  &   persistent  character  is  why  she  is  on  santa’s  nice  list  ,  but  their  abrasive  &  hardheaded tendencies  could  land  them  on  the  naughty  if  they’re  not  careful  .     (   tess  ,  18  ,  she/her  ,  cst   ) 

hi, i’m tess ! i’m a little hyperactive and hopped up on espresso and weed, but those two things combined make creativity so what can i say. i’ve brought in two babes, and this here is callie ! she’s a kind of mended broken vase, still trying it’s hardest to sit tall. that’s pretty much her in a nutshell. this is a short summary, but i have plenty of hcs for her and i’d love to get some plots going !

callie meadows was born and raised in perston, virginia.  the small town life was everything to her parents, a retired lawyer and a librarian mother. they loved the quite life, the feel of home everywhere you looked. as a child, callie loved that life, too. she met with her friends everyday in the school yard, playing on the structures and running around the track. but that life grew boring, annoying in the least. she started getting frustrated with the cycle of her life, how the repetitive pattern seemed to have no end. she was ten the first time she got kicked out of class.

she was the youngest child of two, her older brother the golden child in the family ( wanted connection on the main). she envied him, but loved him to death.

at sixteen, after dropping dance lessons and meeting a boyfriend a bit too mature for her, she ran off to nashville, tennessee. her boyfriend fed her onto his pill addiction, sending her life into a downward spiral before she was even an adult.

the next four years callie spent jumping from couch to couch, finding dead end jobs that she kept for barely a month at a time. it was only when her boyfriend put his hands on her, that she started to see the hole she had dug for herself.

at nineteen, after getting kicked from her latest job and returning home to clenched fists and a pounding in her head, she ended it, called the cops right then and there, and removed herself entirely. she had gotten lucky — it wasn’t always so easy to leave that kind of situation.

her ex boyfriend was just sentenced a few months ago, and shorty after, callie moved back to perston. she found a decent job at a local diner, serving meals to sweet customers and working short shifts. it was a fresh start, and it’s exactly what she needed.

she’s now 6 months sober, but has replaced her pill addiction with a caffeine addiction, which seems easier to manage. she’s gotten her GED and is working on applying to some community colleges. finally, she’s getting her life together.  

personality

callie has changed a lot since the last time she was in perston. the once insufferable brat with a short fuse and a big mouth has become quieter, more careful with her words. each is accompanied by a smile now, rather than the former snarl.

she’s found a bit more pep in her step, offering service with a smile at work and waving to strangers on the street. she’s tried incredibly hard to get where she is today, and is proud of the progress she’s made. 

she sees moving back as a fresh start, ready to show others that she wants to know them, that the girl they met years ago is gone, kicked out, evicted.

wanted connections

old high school friends - she ran away in the middle of junior year, leaving a note for her family and hitting the road, but i’d love to see some of her old friends, from before she left ! maybe she’s kept in contact with them over the years ? maybe she cut off contact completely ? we could plot out dynamics and figure it all out !

new hookups - these would be random one night stands that callie found herself in, as a distraction to her other urges. it’s an easy relaxer, and it’s fun.

neighbors/roommates - i havent decided where callie lives just yet, but i’m up for plotting out roommates or neighbors in apartment buildings !

ride or die - this could be a new best friend or an old one, but this is someone callie has been able to put all her trust in, someone she’s told everything, even the dark and dirty, and vice versa ! just a good wholesome friendship !

possible love interests ? - there’d have to be chemistry, but i’m willing to plot anything

any other wanteds ! i’m going to try and make a page for these, but for now, these are my wanted connections !

tommy martinez   /   cis male      🎄      christmas  spirit  welcomes matthew ‘matty’ romero to  the  magical  town  of  perston  .  the  twenty seven year  old  firefighter  is  in  town for the holidays and  is  excited  about  the  holiday  calendar  .  their  sympathetic &  gregarious character  is  why  he is  on  santa’s  nice  list  ,  but  their  boastful &  secretive tendencies  could  land  them  on  the  naughty  if  they’re  not  careful  .     (   tess  ,  18  ,  she / her  ,  cst   )

tess here again with my second babe, matty ! he’s kind of a rugged, charming guy, but there’s a bit more to it than that. here’s a bit more about him.

matthew was born and raised in perston, played in the park as a child and smoked behind the bleachers in senior year. every inch of that town is covered in memories, flashbacks of hometown, usa.

he was raised to respect your elders, treat a lady right, only god can judge. never turn a blind eye to evil. it was an accepting home, one rooted into respect and open arms at every angle. his father was a retired war veteran, army strong. his mother, over a decade younger than his father, was a secretary at the local law firm. 

matty was very close to his mother, she was only twenty five when she had him, and as she understood him a bit better, his generation, he gravitated more to her. that, and his father was a bit of a cold turkey. he showed love, affection, in his own way. the years of service had taken it’s toll, not only on his body, but on his mind. he was still stuck, in that uniform, in those countries, in the battles he fought all those years ago. when matty was fourteen, his father sought out help for his troubles, but after a few years, he quit it. 

his father traded his therapy for family bonding. when he found out matthew didn’t want to follow in his footsteps, to head into battle, his reaction was unexpected. it was the first time he’d seen his father smile in months. he didn’t want matty to end up like him, and while he never said it, matty knew. 

his father became his #1 coach when he first started training to be a fire fighter. he helped him sort out his training sessions, always making sure he hit the gym. somehow, it was able to help them both. 

once matthew graduated, he moved off to dallas, the closest carrington college campus to virginia. it was a hard decision to make, leaving his friends and family behind, but it was one he had to make.

he comes back a couple times a year if he can, during the holidays and for birthdays, but overall he doesn’t get to see his family as much, and that’s something that weighs heavy on his shoulders. 

he’s back in perston for the holidays, this year taking a whole month off and spending it with old friends and close family. 

personality 

matty is,,,, such a puppy. he looks a little rough on the outside, his currly hair and stubble kind of giving him an intimidating look, but he’s honestly so gentle and caring once you get to know him

he’s the type to go to the store at 1 am bc you’re sick and you wanted a specific type of soup... the one to go around picking up trash in the park while he’s talking to friends

but he can party like no tomorrow. he’s restrained himself a bit since high school, but get him in the right mood and you’ll never have a night like it again 

matty started smoking weed sophomore year of high school as the stress and anxiety of telling his dad the truth weighed on him. since, he’s found a coping mechanism within it, using when he can pass his test back in dallas, but now that he’s got the month off, he’s prob gonna smoke a bit more

he is patient, the years of teachings weighing on his manners, but he does have quite the lip when it comes to certain topics. mention his favorite band ? he’ll cut you off on every sentence.

wanted connections

family friends - anyone who grew up with matthew or worked with his mother were constantly at his house. they were a relaxed, accepting family, and lost souls were drawn to them easily. matthew is incredibly loyal to those he loves and cares for, so i’d love this dynamic

gym buddies - since matty’s got the month off of work, he’s itching for his exercise fix. he’s a gym junkie and not afraid to admit it, so anyone who can go in and work his routine, he’d kill for.

late night killers - someone who goes out to the bars with him late at night when his thoughts are running wild and he can’t sleep. probably doesn’t talk about his problems, so it’s moreso of a distraction for him ?

the boys - i imagine matty had a little friend group that lasted for years, probably fully formed around middle school, and as high school came a few of them kind of floated away, leaving the core three or four ? matty’s really into music, exercise, smoking, the works.... it’s honestly a mess but i’d love some besties for this softy

those are just off my head but i’d love some exes, ride or dies, neighbors, and plenty of other plots ! hmu for one or we could brainstorm <3

robert sheehan   /   cis male     🎄     christmas  spirit  welcomes  josiah “ziah” callaghan  to  the  magical  town  of  perston  .  the  thirty  year  old  tattoo artist  has  lived  here  for  thirty  years  and  is  ignorant  about  the  holiday  calendar .  their  charismatic  &  liberal  character  is  why  he is on  santa’s  nice  list  ,  but  their  abrasive  &  impulsive  tendencies  could  land  them  on  the  naughty  if  they’re  not  careful  .     (   tess  ,  18  ,  she/her  ,  cst   )

it’s,,,, me again yes i have no self control. do i care ? yes and no. nevertheless, he’s here and he’s a mess, so i apologize ! without further ado, here we go !

born to the prestigious callaghan family, once that always pushed their children to be their best, as long as their best met their father’s standards. mr. callaghan saw bright, complex futures for his two sons, and pressed it especially hard on his first born. 

the oldest son, his heir, josiah was riddled with expectations from a young age. he was to study law, make it into harvard, and make his family proud.  his father pushed him in every academic, emotional, physical, and visible way. every inch of his life, mapped out right before his eyes, and never, not once was josiah asked what he wanted. 

josiah didn’t care much for school, or law. in all honesty, he loved to draw, to feel the pencil scratching against the paper. he just wanted to stay in his room and draw all day, painting pictures of a better life.

forced to watch as his younger brother was put through the same stress and trauma as he was, a series of outbursts erupted from josiah. he lost it at age fourteen when his seven year old brother was berated by his parents for a B- on his latest science quiz. those little, tiny, irrelevant details always clouded their view of the greater picture in that moment. memories of his own teachings from their father, when grades dropped and stayed low, they focused on his brother instead of their original disappointment. 

he hounded at his father, bashing him for degrading his own son over a passing grade, that he’d always been the same and would never learn to change. arguments ensued, tempers ran short, and by his sophomore year of high school he’d ran up a record. placed in juvy not one, not two, but three times, all within the span of a year. two for possession, one for public disturbance. local cops knew him by name and each day, josiah’s pride grew bigger just as his father’s shrunk. 

he’d planned to move on from perston as soon as his 18th birthday hit, but as his brother grew older and his parents grew colder, he decided to stay, only for ezekiel. he legally changed his named to ziah (z-eye-ah) and started staying at a friend’s apartment.

he gained a taste for pills in high school, hence the possession charges, and it followed him through adulthood. that, and his hankering for hard liquor. thrown in and out of rehab a total of four times before he was twenty, no one’s sure if ziah even knows how to stay sober for more than a month. 

after working dead end jobs for a few years, apprenticing for tattooing under a local artist who took an interest, getting his own apartment and finding himself somewhat stable, he took out a loan and opened up his very own tattoo shop at the age of twenty three. 

crimson door tattoos has been up and running for seven years, located right at the edge of perston town. it’s a bit broken down and beaten up, but every inch of that place screams ziah. he has a few employees (wanted connection i might send in ?) and some regulars that come in and talk while he’s tattooing, but it’s one of the only decent tattoo shops in the area. 

ziah isn’t excited for the calendar, he rarely gives it a second thought --- to him, nothing exciting could ever truly happen in this town. 

personality

ziah is a relatively relaxed person, he lives life the way he wants to and feels that others should do the same. though, he can be a bit much to handle under certain and frequent conditions. his cynical nature can often be a downer around the wrong people

he loves his tattoo shop, as it’s the one and only thing that his parents, the world, will never have a claim to. he put his heart and soul into the shop, and he’ll die with the deed in his hands

he feels incredibly loyal to his customers and wants to ensure that every tattoo he does is his best, and since his side habits can get in the way of that sometimes, he came up with a terrible idea to ensure his sobriety before a tattoo. he tattoos one short, strong, bold line on his left arm before each session, and if it looks even slightly crooked or out of place, he reschedules the appointment, and any following appointments, for a later date. this can sometimes be frustrating, but he wants to ensure that their permanent ink looks the best it can.

while he’s a bit cold, there’s only one thing (except drugs) that can melt him to his very core. dogs. he has an encouraging dog-friendly sign on his shop, and begs his customers to bring their furry friends along when they come to have their ink done. he even has a little room dedicated to the animals, so they wont contaminate his work space. 

he is very care-free and loves to live life on the edge --- he’s the type you’d drag along to go hiking in the woods or jump off a cliff, the one to do it first, fast, and terribly wrong, laughing the entire way

honestly he’s just a big ball of angst, rebellion, and animal love

wanted connections (drug tw)

regular/new customers - ziah has owned his shop for seven years, but for three years before that, he was apprenticing and tattooing customers under supervision, so your character might have been coming to him for a while !

drug buddies - these were the friends ziah often hung out with on his benders, and possibly still does when he’s hankering for numbness. this could honestly be anyone who currently has or has had a drug habit. they could have sold, bought, or just consumed with him

enemies - ziah has probably pissed off his fair share of people in town, so anyone with a grudge against him, or even just plain dislike towards him would be great ! he’s especially rude if he wants to be, so it’s easy to piss off others

old band mates - ziah used to play the guitar, and while he wasn’t terrible, he definitely wasn’t fit for the stage. he was kicked from the band junior year, right before his second stunt in juvy, and hasn’t been the same with them since. there’s tension there, balled angst ready to be set free

i have plenty of other ideas but that is just off the top of my head ! i’d love to plot some more, so hmu !
