SAUL WEISSBERG is looking for his SECOND EX-WIFE. For more details about the connection, read below!

THIS CONNECTION IS NOW FILLED.

BASIC INFORMATION

CHARACTER NAME — Saul Weissberg.

CATEGORY — Romantic/Platonic/Antagonistic.

TYPE OF CONNECTION — Second Ex-Wife.

CONNECTION NAME — Tamara Bell (or UTP, can be changed, but I would prefer a first name that starts with T to keep up with the accidental theme for his ex-wives!).

CONNECTION AGE — 45-48.

SUGGESTED FACECLAIMS — Amy Adams, Jessica Chastain, Joanna Garcia Swisher, Christina Hendricks, or anyone that works for the age range. Red hair preferred, but not necessary. Non red-heads include: Keri Russell, Melanie Lynskey, Kerry Washington, Morena Baccarin, Carla Gugino, Gabrielle Union, Lana Parrilla, Rachel McAdams, Aishwarya Rai, January Jones, Tawny Cypress, Melissa McCarthy, AJ Cook, Maggie Q

DESCRIPTION

This character would be Saul's second ex-wife; his first wife, Terry, and his third, Thalia, are already in play! (As well as Saul's son, Micah.) Now, this role can either be a jumping off point for the character and have very little to do with the actual story of Tamara that's going to unfold ORRR we can be super, super, super messy with this. It's truly up to you how we go about bringing her to the game.

Some options include Tamara's oldest child secretly being Saul's that she's passing off as her second/current husband's child or she's not 100% sure if her oldest is Saul's or her husband's biological child, which would be very dramatic and fun to play out. However, it requires deceit on her part so that's understandable if you don't want to do that! Another option is that none of her children are Saul's, but since their divorce fifteen years ago, Tamara has been unable to get Saul out of her head and wants to get back together with him. Again, these are just some soapy suggestions! None of these have to happen if you decide you want to pick up the role but take the character in a different direction.

Another thing that's up to you: why exactly Tamara has come to Blue Harbor. Maybe she had to move because her husband got a promotion to BH or nearby Chicago and they decided to raise their family in the suburbs instead of the busy city. If we go down the 'Saul has a secret child' route, maybe Tamara couldn't take the weight of her secret anymore and moved to BH in order to introduce Saul to his second born child, OR they don't know who their child's biological father is and can't take the uncertainty anymore, so they move to BH in order to find out the truth/request a DNA sample. (Again, the secret child plot is just a suggestion, so don't worry if you don't want to go down that route.) It can be a planned move to Blue Harbor in specific or it could be a total coincidence! Get wild with it.

Now, the NON-NEGOTIABLES. They were married for nine years, from July 2000 to July 2009. Tamara and Saul's backstory has to remain that they met while she was a secretary at the firm where Saul was a junior associate at. She was about four to seven years younger than Saul. She grew up Christian (denomination up to you! She doesn't currently have to be religious, just that she grew up going to church) in the suburbs with conservative parents. Their age difference and the fact that Saul is Jewish were the two reasons why her parents started off hating Saul, but relations between him and her family got worse after they learned that Saul was unwilling to have any more children after Micah. Initially upset, Tamara decided she was okay with not having any biological children of her own because she had Micah as her step-son, but secretly longed for Saul to change his mind. They spent nine years as best friends with Tamara quitting her job a year into their marriage and becoming a stay-at-home wife. As Saul advanced in his career, he had less time to spend with Tamara or his son, Micah, so she ended up very close with Saul and Terry's son after many missed dinners and baseball games. Along with his promotions throughout their marriage, his obligations and priorities changed as he became more obsessed with success and fitting into Manhattan High Society—that meant Tamara turned into a lowkey trophy wife that accompanied Saul to events and charity galas. For a long time, they were happy together, but eventually the yearning for having children got to be too much for her and they came to the mutual decision to divorce. After the divorce, Tamara quickly married another man and had two children in quick succession.

In Saul's mind, they had a perfectly happy marriage that ended because their goals were different and couldn't be reconciled. Saul still maintains this was the easiest, most amicable divorce he's ever seen in his thirty year long career. However, it was mostly a happy marriage because Tamara was a pushover. Saul thinks of her as his 'easy' wife out of the three because she didn't put up a fuss a lot and though she got upset with him from time to time, they never really had any big blowout fights. They mostly resolved any problems with Tamara compromising or Saul making empty promises. Now, as for Tamara currently, she could have grown tougher after becoming a mother, or she still has trouble standing up for herself. Again, a lot of this is up to you! I have a lot of lore for Saul and I love to discuss headcanons so please, do join Saul's extraordinary league of ex-wives in Blue Harbor if you enjoy angst and drama and soap opera-like goodness <3

NATHAN CRANE is looking for his EX-LOVER. For more details about the connection, read below!

BASIC INFORMATION

CHARACTER NAME — Nathan Crane.

CATEGORY — Antagonistic/Romantic/Complicated.

TYPE OF CONNECTION — Ex-Lover.

CONNECTION NAME — UTP.

CONNECTION AGE — 42 - 46.

SUGGESTED FACECLAIMS — Abigail Spencer, Lupita Nyong'o, Morena Baccarin, Rachael Taylor, UTP.

DESCRIPTION

It was love, though they'd both deny it if pressed. As teenagers, she and Nathan were forced into one another's company by school and family ties. Their relationship began as pure antagonism, both too good at getting under one another's skin and too similar in their stubborn attitudes and ambition. However, in their 20s they finally caved into the tension and began an intense on and off affair which lasted years.

Things ended on bad terms. Nathan's decision to leave New York sparked a disagreement—she couldn't understand why he'd want to give up all that he'd built and he wasn't changing his mind no matter what she said. They haven't spoken since he walked out, but the feelings between them still linger.

VALLETTA CAMBRIDGE is looking for her EX-HUSBAND. For more details about the connection, read below!

THIS CONNECTION HAS NOW BEEN FILLED.

BASIC INFORMATION

CHARACTER NAME — Valletta Cambridge.

CATEGORY — Romantic/Antagonistic.

TYPE OF CONNECTION — Ex-Husband Number 5.

CONNECTION NAME — Jack Calhoun (UTP).

CONNECTION AGE — 50-ish.

SUGGESTED FACECLAIMS — Joe Manganiello, Idris Elba, Jason Momoa, Pedro Pascal, Jon Bernthal, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, UTP.

DESCRIPTION

Valley’s main source of income for her entire adult life has been to find a man with more money than sense and convince him to marry her. It was very easy to do; even though most of the men treated her terribly, she got to divorce them and take half their money in the end, so it evened out.  The fifth husband, though, was where everything went wrong. She sought him out because he was a recent lottery winner. She figured he’d be dumb and financially irresponsible and in need of a woman to shower with gifts. She charmed him easily, and he fell in love with her quickly, and everything was going according to plan until she realized that she was in love, too. This had never happened to her before - falling in love was strange and unknown territory, and it ruined the entire plan. She was preparing to quit, just cut and run, because how was she supposed to take money from a man she loved? …But then he proposed. And it was beautiful, and perfect, and he was beautiful and perfect, and she said yes. Of course he found out. They were married for four and a half years in which Valley was genuinely happy for the first time in her life, but eventually he found out what her original plan had been, and how many times she’d been married before, and that she’d lied about her family… and everything fell apart. They divorced, so that part went according to plan. But she didn’t take a dime from him. And she’s still heartbroken to this day.

BASIC INFORMATION

CHARACTER NAME — Ruby Morrisey.

CATEGORY — Platonic / romantic / antagonistic, depending.

TYPE OF CONNECTION — Estranged childhood best friend.

CONNECTION NAME — Any appropriate name for the FC.

CONNECTION AGE — 27 - 33.

SUGGESTED FACECLAIMS — Completely up to the applicant, I'm not picky! Some suggestions are: Nychaa Nuttanicha, Keiynan Lonsdale, Kiowa Gordon, Nana Komatsu, Kento Yamazaki, Mackenyu, Archie Reneaux, Moon Gayoung, Krystal Jung, Zion Moreno, Khadijha Red Thunder, Kofe Siriboe.

DESCRIPTION

ruby is a blue harbor native who was pretty impulsive and drifted a lot here and there trying to find themself. this muse would've been right alongside them the whole way. depending on vibe, they could either have been highly against ruby's more impulsive choices, such as beginning to smoke, or gone right along with them for the muse's reasons of their own.

when ruby left blue harbor, they mentioned nothing about it except that they were going off to college. they wouldn't have mentioned never wanting to return, and contact between these two would've been slim pickings. very much like the post of i see my best friend on instagram and wish her happy birthday / remember when her birthday is but we never speak to each other.

they came back several years later and then focused on honey bee tea. we can work out the timeline, because they've been here a while, but my initial feeling is very keep missing each other. they probably know of the other's presence in blue harbor, but it's up to us and our plotting if we want them to have interacted by now, or avoided each other on purpose. ruby themself would be ashamed of their past self and want to make up for it, but does your muse want anything to do with that?

would be somewhat amusing / rom-com adjacent if your muse applied to work at honey bee tea, and came in for the interview, and that's how they met face-to-face all over again. but not required!

i'm imagining a lot of are you still awake? and that strange kind of yearning that happens when you're trying to reconnect with someone who ghosted you, who you thought you lost, etc. whether it's romantic or stays platonic is completely up to our plotting vibes, though i do imagine when they last knew each other, ruby 100% had a crush on your muse.

do you need to be contacted by the potential applicant? — Not necessary, but appreciated!

ELIJAH FALVEY & ROMAN DANIELS are looking for their FORMER BANDMATE. For more details about the connection, read below!

THIS CONNECTION IS NOW FILLED.

BASIC INFORMATION

CHARACTER NAME — Elijah Falvey & Roman Daniels.

CATEGORY — Platonic / Antagonistic (depending on who!)

TYPE OF CONNECTION — Former bandmate.

CONNECTION NAME — He’s been referred to as Antonio / Toni so far (alternatively Anthony / Tony depending on faceclaim) but it’s entirely UTP!

CONNECTION AGE — 39 - 41.

SUGGESTED FACECLAIMS — Diego Luna, Alfonso Herrera, Clayton Cardenas, Octavio Pisano, Manny Jacinto, Will Sharpe, Lewis Tan, John David Washington, Daniel Henney, Kendrick Sampson, UTP (as long as they are a faceclaim of color).

DESCRIPTION

BAND LORE:

The indie rock band Amethyst planted its roots in 2000 when lead vocalist Harrison Morrey corralled four of his most talented friends from Blue Harbor University in the span of a year — Kaya, Roman, Antonio and Elijah. Antonio was the guitarist, third to join the lineup sometime between September and October of 2001. After Elijah joined later that year, all five bandmates became thick as thieves, spending almost every moment of free time that they had with one another to practice in Harrison’s family’s garage. Once they all graduated, they even decided to move in together; Elijah and Harrison shared one apartment, while Antonio, Roman and Kaya shared another closeby. This arrangement lasted for several years, playing local gigs around Illinois’ neighboring towns until luck landed them a professional record deal in 2006. They signed to a major label out in Los Angeles and decided to leave behind their humble beginnings for the city of angels, moving to California and spending the next thirteen years touring and making music!

TW FOR CAR ACCIDENTS, DEATH, HOSPITALIZATION, GRIEF. In June of 2019, everything changed. Amethyst were en route to the venue for the last stop of their world tour in Los Angeles when they all suffered from a gnarly car accident — Harrison, unfortunately, was the only one who didn’t survive. The others had varying degrees of injuries requiring hospitalization and specialized care, Roman being the most notable who was rendered unable to play bass again without the functionality of his right hand. In December of that same year, they decided that they could no longer move forward in their career as a band and posted their official disbandment notice on all platforms. Since that moment, none of the other members heard from Elijah (who cut contact and moved back to Blue Harbor as soon as he was physically able to, running from his grief). Roman, Kaya and Antonio were left to pick up the pieces of one another as they mourned the loss of two of their best friends.

Roman returned to Blue Harbor in 2023, leading to several messy confrontations with Elijah. At the moment, they’re both trying (and failing, because they’re both too stubborn to really try) to understand the motives behind one another’s decisions.

ANTONIO SPECIFIC / UTP:

Aside from all of the band lore mentioned above, everything else about Antonio is completely UTP! His full backstory, how he met Harrison originally, current occupation, reasoning for coming back to Blue Harbor, possible other connections, etc etc etc. Throughout their lives, there was a very interesting dynamic in play between the five of them where Elijah romantically had eyes for Harrison (who was straight), Harrison and Kaya had an on and off again fling for most of their lives, and Roman had eyes for Kaya who generally didn’t give him the time of day outside of friendship. Where Antonio fits into all of this is UTP as well — we’ve always joked that he was the most ‘unbothered’ out of them all but obviously, the more drama the better! How Antonio feels about Elijah’s actions post-breakup and/or Roman’s reaction is also UTP. 

In terms of personality, ‘unbothered’ is actually quite a good word to describe him. He’s the most lax member, the one with the ability to keep a calm and sturdy head amongst the common chaos of band life in LA. He had a real passion for the band that ensured he was loved by the general public, too! Of course, though, we’d love if you made Antonio your own so please don’t be afraid to insert your own vision wherever you can! Meaning personality is UTP, this is just a general outline for vibe if you’re stuck!

We have tons of silly Amethyst headcanons built up that we’d love to share, plus musings and such for inspo <3

Do you need to be contacted by the potential applicant? — Yes please! Either Elijah or Roman's blog is perfect.

DAHLIA YOUNG is looking for her EX-BOYFRIEND. For more details about the connection, read below!

THIS CONNECTION IS NOW FILLED.

BASIC INFORMATION

CHARACTER NAME — Dahlia Young.

CATEGORY — Romantic, antagonistic.

TYPE OF CONNECTION — Ex-boyfriend.

CONNECTION NAME — Liam Reed.

CONNECTION AGE — 31 - 33.

SUGGESTED FACECLAIMS — Dylan O'Brien, Logan Lerman, Sean Teale, Taylor Zahkar Perez, Kedar Stirling Williams, Dev Patel, Ahn Hyoseop.

DESCRIPTION

Dahlia and Liam meet in a photography class her sophomore year of college. Lia was drawn to Liam's passion for photography. The two went on their first date to an art gallery, bonding over their mutual love for creativity and artistic expression. 

Their relationship became pretty serious, very quickly. They would take weekend trips to explore the city and nearby towns' art scenes and nature, documenting their adventures together with Liam's camera. When they started dating, Lia's self-esteem wasn't the greatest, but with Liam's support and encouragement, Lia came to embrace her individuality, and really explore a bunch of different music genres, open mics, and subbing in as a guitarist for bands that needed a temporary member. Likewise, Lia supported all of Liam's photography endeavors and would even provide music for his photo exhibitions.

Her senior year of college, Dahlia and Liam started discussing their future together and dreams of traveling the world together, combining their passions.

The stress of final projects and job applications took its toll on their relationship and they had their first major argument about their post-graduation plans when Liam was offered the opportunity to intern with a renowned photographer in Europe. Lia was torn between her desire to support him and her selfish wish for him to stay. She couldn't drop everything to follow him to Europe either, so she sent him off with a weary smile.

They tried a long-distance relationship for a time (less than a year), but the time difference and distance (physical and emotional) was too much for them to overcome. Liam was the one to actually ask to breakup as Lia (while knowing things weren't working anymore) was unwilling to quit. The breakup was terribly painful, and brought up a lot of old woulds of abandonment for Dahlia.

Shortly after their breakup, Dahlia decided to move back home and hasn't really kept in touch with Liam. She still has a mix of hurt and resentment when she thinks of him, but Lia considers Liam to be "the one that got away." Reasons why he's in Blue Harbor can be totally up to player, and we can always flesh that out!

NILAY BAILEY is looking for her EX-PARTNER THAT ENDED ON BAD TERMS. For more details about the connection, read below!

THIS CONNECTION IS NOW FILLED.

BASIC INFORMATION.

CHARACTER NAME — Nilay Bailey.

CATEGORY — Former romantic turned antagonistic.

TYPE OF CONNECTION — Ex-partner that ended on bad terms.

CONNECTION NAME — Up to player.

CONNECTION AGE — 27-43.

SUGGESTED FACECLAIMS — Chris Evans, Jessica Alba, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Sarah Shahi, Jacob Elordi, Naomi Scott, Raymond Ablack, Ben Barnes, Dewanda Wise, Dev Patel, Renata Notni, Zeeko Zaki, Blanca Suarez, Aron Piper, Pooja Hegde, Henry Golding, up to player.

DESCRIPTION.

After Nilay's attack and her realizing that she had feelings for Elijah Falvey back in 2021, she went into a wee bit of a crisis mode. In comes your character. How they met, when they met, where they met, etc., can absolutely be talked about more! What I imagine is that after she realized she had feelings for her best friend, she became completely terrified that he didn't reciprocate those feelings for her. Instead of asking and trying to see, these two ended up dating for a couple months.

While Nilay liked Y/C and trusted them, it was pretty obvious that her heart was for someone else. Maybe Y/C was oblivious to it and was blindsided when Nilay broke up with them, maybe they sort of knew yet tried to convince themself that it was nothing serious, maybe they thought that after some time her feelings for Eli would disappear and she'd be in love with them completely; However it goes, I picture that after Nilay broke up with them, these two have been on the outs ever since. While Nilay feels awful and wants to try to fix things so that they could become friends, I picture that Y/C is resistant to it. While I do not picture them ending up together, I do want them to have some angst and drama for awhile before finding closure and maybe becoming acquaintances or even friends in the end.
