INTRO FOR GAVIN GUNTHER

- Basics - Name: Kanyon Webb Age: Twenty-Nine Birthday: May 31st 1994 Face Claim: Nicholas Galztine Occupation: Surgical Intern Neighborhood: Primrose Marina Gender: Male  Pronouns: He & Him  Sexuality: Straight - Family - Mother: Brandi Gunther Father: Garrett Gunther Younger Sister: Something with a G as the first name Gunther Younger Brother: Something with a G as the first name Gunther Younger Sister: Something with a G as the first name Gunther Children: None that he knows of Pet: A goldfish named Velma - Biography -

Gavin Gunther, born and raised in the vibrant city of New York, is a 29-year-old individual who has always exuded confidence, intelligence, and athleticism. Growing up, Gavin's charismatic personality and natural leadership skills led him to become the captain of both the JV and Varsity lacrosse teams. His popularity soared in high school, where he was considered one of the quintessential "guys' guys," drawing attention from both peers and admirers.

Despite his many virtues, Gavin struggled with fidelity in his romantic relationships. His heart was set on Verity, but his inability to remain faithful became a recurring issue throughout their time together. Despite Verity's forgiveness, Gavin's behavior persisted until he crossed a line by sleeping with her best friend, leading to the ultimate demise of their relationship. Gavin, however, remained unfazed by the emotional toll on Verity, as he was determined to pursue a path in medicine following in the footsteps of his successful surgeon parents at New York-Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia and Cornell.

Entering college, Gavin met Cami, and against his usual non-monogamous tendencies, he fell deeply in love with her. Despite their connection, Gavin couldn't resist the allure of others, leading to infidelity that Cami chose to overlook. The relationship took a more serious turn when Gavin proposed, but his pattern of hooking up with other women persisted. One fateful night, a drunken encounter with Cami's best friend in a bar bathroom became the final nail in the coffin of their engagement.

Post-breakup, Gavin completed med school and is currently undertaking his residency at East Haven Memorial, coincidentally where both Verity and Cami ended up. The ghosts of his past continue to linger as he navigates the challenges of his medical career and confronts the consequences of his tumultuous relationships.

INTRO FOR ROMEO CLARK

- Basics - Name: Romeo Clark Age: Twenty Five Birthday: December 12th 1997 Face Claim: Michael Ciminio Occupation: Teacher Neighborhood: Downtown Gender: Male  Pronouns: He & Him  Sexuality: Straight - Family - Mother: TBD Clark Father: TBD Clark Older Brother: Leo Clark Children: Lake Gabriel Sinclair Pet: Hazel (Puppy Boxer/Pit) - Biography -

Romeo Clark, a 25-year-old hailing from one of East Haven's most prestigious founding families, the Clarks, is a captivating blend of tradition and rebellion. Born into a world of privilege and affluence, Romeo seemed destined to embrace the legacy of the Clark Publishing firm, a family-owned powerhouse that had made an indelible mark on East Haven's history.

A future in publishing appeared to be his predetermined path, following in the esteemed footsteps of his elder brother, Leo, who had already embarked on a promising career within the family business. The Clarks had been instrumental in shaping East Haven's cultural landscape, and there was an air of certainty that Romeo would further cement their legacy.

However, Romeo was the enigmatic exception within this legacy. Rather than adhering to the anticipated trajectory, he defiantly charted a course of his own. Despite the alluring comforts and privileges that money could provide, he yearned for something different, something that would set his soul on fire.

Romeo's path diverged sharply from the corporate world that awaited him. To the astonishment of his family and the East Haven elite, he set his sights on a different journey - education. He enrolled in college to pursue his passion for teaching, earning a degree that would ultimately lead him to the hallways of East Haven High School.

Today, Romeo stands as a freshman history teacher at East Haven High, where he imparts knowledge and wisdom to the next generation. His students are drawn to his dynamic teaching style, which combines the richness of the past with a contemporary flair. Romeo's classes are renowned for their engaging and creative approach to history, making the past come alive for his eager pupils.

In addition to his role as a dedicated educator, Romeo nurtures his other great love - music. As a talented musician, he spends his free time writing and performing music that resonates with the soul. His music transcends genres, providing an outlet for his creativity and expression that is as unique as his path in life.

Romeo Clark, the black sheep of the Clark family, has chosen a different road, one less traveled by his kin, and in doing so, he has become a symbol of individuality, passion, and the pursuit of one's true calling. In the midst of East Haven's aristocracy, he has carved a niche all his own, proving that sometimes, it's worth straying from the path laid out by tradition to discover one's authentic self.

LONG STORY SHORT.

born in new zealand, sasika decided to uproot the life her parents had set out for her after rebelling pretty hard in the teenage years. was married at a young age, had one bad fight and decided to bail. has been travelling for the past five years.

works two jobs in town to make ends meet. she's a bartender at the tequila cowboy because she likes to sneak free drinks and play therapist with drunk customers. also works front desk at the quick stop motel, because she likes being in people's business and knowing people's secrets. also when she first came to town she stayed there and liked the dingy vibe.

living in a small house in sutherland park, most likely with roommates. even though she works two jobs, sasika is historically really bad with money. forever behind in rent but will listen to manifesting subliminals about abundance every night. somehow it always works out.

not the most reliable friend, but probably the most fun! totally up for any wild adventure, total yes girl. can't take care of plants or animals (also kind of herself) but can cook pretty well. pays for being a bad friend with food and free booze at the tequila cowboy.

tw teen pregnancy, death, abandonment

RAPID FIRE.

Full Name: Darragh O'Connor.

Nicknames: D, Dar.

Pronouns and Gender: He/Him, Cis Male.

Birthday: March 19th, 1996.

Birth place: Dublin, Ireland

How long have they been in Vermont: 5 years, as of Nov 2023.

Sexuality: Bisexual.

Neighborhood: Sutherland Park.

Occupation: Character Actor @ Mystery Quest Escape Rooms / Amateur Boxer.

Family: Aishling O'Connor (Mother, deceased), Murphy Doyle (estranged birth father), Cormac Doyle (half-brother), Cian Doyle (half-brother), Caoimhe Doyle (half-sister).

OVERVIEW.

-- Darragh was the only son of a single mother who struggled for most of her life. Aishling O'Connor became a mother for the first and only time at seventeen years old, and was ill-equipped to handle it after being cut off by her family for deciding to go through with the pregnancy.

-- Despite growing up in uncertainty, for the most part Darragh had a happy childhood. They didn't have much, but they had each other.

-- As far as schooling went, he never displayed much of a natural apt for it. He found classroom settings too restrictive and there was no specific academic subject that held his interest. The only days he would definitively be guaranteed to show up at school was when he had P.E. or football.

-- After a number of calls from his principal and run ins with other mothers on their council estate over fights and scrapes Darragh found himself involved in, his mother enrolled him in a local boxing club when he was ten, and it fostered an interest in the sport that has stayed with him through adulthood.

-- He found something of a father figure there in his coach and trainer, Tom. The discipline of the sport kept him on the straight and narrow, even though there were some run ins in his teenage years with the Garda for being present in robbed cars and where drug deals were occurring.

-- Darragh's whole world shifted on it's axis at his mother's death when he was seventeen years old, and then again a few days later at her funeral when he discovered that his biological father was both alive and well and a man that had three other children who were all older than him and a wife to boot.

-- This news rocked the foundation of everything he thought he knew about himself and his ma, and made him question every word she had ever spoken to him. As soon as he turned eighteen, after a few months of staying with the family of his best friend, he set off travelling rather than having to share a city with a man who knew of his existence and chose to ignore it entirely instead.

-- He initially moved to Australia with two school friends who aspired to do the same and lived/worked there for just under a year and a half before deciding it wasn't for him. Leon and Karl stayed on, while he set his sights on the next continent he would search for some semblance of a new start.

-- The United States were next and after spending a few months on the west coast, Darragh eventually found himself in East Haven, Vermont and decided to settle down there a while after deciding he liked the vibe and the people there .

-- To this day, he still keeps a pretty rigid training regime when it comes to boxing and devotes most of his free time to training / improving his skills in the ring as well as taking on amateur fights.

-- To make ends meet, he works as a character actor at Mystery Quest Escape Rooms. He loves to scare the shit out of people where possible and has been known to be a little generous with hints if he watches a group particularly struggle.

SORTA FUN FACTS.

Has heard every variation of his name pronounced incorrectly. His favorite is Darg. "And what's a Darg when he's at home?"

His official boxing stats as of Nov '23 are 9 matches and 9 wins (4 of which are by KO).

Was supposed to be due on St, Patrick's Day but was born 2 days after his due date, which he's grateful for because he likes his birthday being just about him.

Of his half-siblings, he's only met his half-sister and that was just once. It did not go well and there's been no contact since.

Has been known to lie when asked can he speak Irish if he thinks it can benefit him to pretend to.

TRIGGERS: Divorce, marijuana use, health issues

THE DETAILS ;

Full Name: Mitchell Ryan Anderson

Nickname(s): Mitch

Age: 23

Birthdate: May 5th

Aesthetics: Cold pizza, tie dyed shirts, dusty acoustic guitars, worn out converse, poorly rolled blunts

Zodiac: Taurus.

Sexuality: Straight

Occupation: Pizza Delivery Boy

Height: 6'2

Weight: 170

Build: Lanky

BIO ;  

Mitch is the youngest of 3 siblings and grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. His parents were both very well off and successful music producers.

Mitch was kinda the odd man out in his family. He wasn't the most attractive of his siblings, nor was he the most popular. His brother was an all star athlete and class president. His older sister, Anna, was the the prom queen and cheer captain.

When Mitch was 12 his whole world changed. His parents ended up divorcing so his father could start a new life with his new boyfriend. His mother got full custody of him and his sister who were still under age and moved back to her home town of East Haven.

Mitch's family was easily one of the most wealthy in East haven, which put a target on him in school. Because not only was he rich, he was awkward, had braces, horrible acne, and new his freshman year of high school.

Mitch would have despised his entire high school experience if it wasn't for one girl in particular, Rhiannon Spring. From the moment he laid eyes on her, Mitch fell head over heals for her. though it took him forever to muster up the courage to ask her out on a date. But the two clicked, and it wasn't long before he said I love you. Eventually, Rhi said it back.

The two were an odd couple. Clearly from different worlds and social circles. But their love was strong. Unfortunately Mitch's mother drove a wedge between the two and they broke up. Mitch's world was shattered once again. When Rhi broke his heart his whole world came crashing down, not only did he loose his girlfriend, he lost his best friend.

As much as it seemed that Mitch had a charmed life, it was lonely. His father and older brother weren't a part of his life. His sister was always out god knows where doing god knows what, and his mother, well more often then not she was away on business.

Mitch is back from college. Having both simultaneously flunked/dropped out, Mitch's mother is furious with him.

The college Mitch attended was Boston College. He was a Business administration and management but was struggling because he hated it, but his mother didn't care and support him wanting to change majors so now he's cut off.

Now Mitch is working as a pizza delivery boy, putting tons of miles on his fancy sports car he really can't afford anymore and living off free pizza

Though he went away for college, Mitch never really left East Haven aside from college. He would come back for breaks and moved back home when school was out.

Mitch was premature and has a weak heart though he's never had any problems from it yet

Mitch has only had 3 girlfriends. Rhi was his first girlfriend, first kiss, first everything.

He's legit a stereotypical "teen" boy even if he's not a teen anymore. Does nothing but play video games, smoke weed, and eat junk food. But he's really got a heart of gold.

Mitch's family, mainly his brother and grandparents put this idea of what a "man" should be in his head and he struggles with that sometimes

This is the first job he's had aside from doing landscaping in the summer for his grandparents when he was a teen

[chanseainsworth]

Hey, look! It’s [CHANSE AINSWORTH] at [HEYWOOD UNIVERSITY]. Did you know they [WORK] there as a [SOFTWARE ENGINEERING PROFESSOR]? I guess they’re from [LONDON] and have been in town for [1 WEEK], living in [MAPLE HILLS]. I also heard they’re a little [HOTHEADED], but also very [ADAPTABLE] which definitely makes sense.

BASICS

Name: Chaunsey Ainsworth Nicknames/Alias: Chanse Face Claim: Penn Badgley Age: 39 Gender: Cis Man Sexuality: Homosexual Date/Place of Birth: November 22/London, UK Currently: East Haven, VT Occupation: Software Engineering Professor at Heywood University

HISTORY

Chanse was the third child to Maggie and Edward Ainsworth, a prominent London couple. Maggie was a social butterfly, at every event and tea that happened in their neighborhood. Her husband a businessman, successful in his own right. Everyone knew them, knew their picturesque family, and everything was perfect.

Behind closed doors, it was another story. Maggie was never in her right mind, a timid drinker and self-medicator. Edward detested his wife's habits, but never took it out on her. Instead, he took it out on the children. They learned to hide their bruises, and to stay out of his way if they could. Chanse, being the third born, found it easiest to stay out of his home whenever possible. He was social, like his mother, and managed to befriend just about anyone. It was no wonder he was never home, he just had too many friends; it was normal, nobody asked questions, and nobody knew what went on in the Ainsworth home.

As he got older, Chanse knew he was different than his siblings. His sisters would dress him up sometimes, and he loved it. When they invited him to tea and talked about the boys they fancied, he giggled and chattered with them, happy to fit in with the girls. Which wasn't to say he didn't enjoy time with his brothers, as well, because he did. He liked to be rough with them, and he loved the sports they'd play at the park with the other boys. But he was always just a little bit more sensitive the rest, prone to getting upset and running back to his older sister, who always comforted him just how he needed.

He fell in love as a teenager. A close friend, maybe even his best friend, who became his first in a lot of things. And as they got older, they made plans to live together, and Chanse couldn't have been more excited. Finally, out of his family home, away from the danger that lurked in the shadows that nobody knew about, that the Ainsley's pretended didn't exist. Unfortunately, things didn't work out the way they were supposed to.

It was the last holiday he was going to take with his family. He promised himself that. They went somewhere warm, somewhere sunny, and he did try to have a good time. But at the same time, he was planning. Making a list, as he often did when he was stressed out about things. What was he going to pack, what was he going to leave behind, how would he make his grand exit, etc. It wouldn't have been a big deal to his mother when she found it, except that he'd written a few little notes to himself about his love for another. Maggie recognized the name, 'Owen', and brought it to her husband's attention that their son was not the son they'd thought he was.

Edward was angry. Extremely angry. And he let Chanse know it. The police might have been called, but Edward wouldn't know. After hitting some sense into his son, he dragged him downtown, past the exotic nightclubs and to someplace darker. Someplace dingier. Where women took money in return for certain favors. And with Edward sitting outside of the dilapidated building he'd shoved his son into, Chanse was given copious amounts of tequila until he was in a twilight state that allowed the woman paid to give Edward's son the good time Edward had paid her for.

Chanse barely remembers that night. He doesn't remember most of the holiday afterwards, either. He knows his father hit him several more times, he knows his mother cried at his bedside when it seemed like he wouldn't get out of bed again. And a few weeks later, just before they were going to head home, the woman from the dilapidated building showed up demanding more money. She was pregnant, he was the father, and she was going to have that baby so they were going to have to keep paying her. Mortified, Chanse stayed in the warm, sunny place with his new baby momma. His family returned to London without him, and he fell into a deep depression.

Once the baby was born, the woman took whatever money Chanse had left and abandoned the both of them. Lost, Chanse took his baby to the United States, figuring at the very least he could figure something out in a new place, with a fresh start. He might have given up entirely, if it weren't for the child who now relied on him.

He struggled to make ends meet for a long time. But he started working an IT job at a local college, and quickly picked up on the ins and outs of the computers he worked on. He'd always been clever with technology. Eventually he started creating his own software at home, and ended up inventing a malware protection software that the college he worked at began to use. Once it had been proven successful, other colleges bought his work.

At the time, he had finally come to terms with his own sexuality and was seeing an older man, Pietro. Pietro saw an opportunity, and utilizing Chanse's intelligence and lack of entrepreneurial know-how, he founded a company that based its work on Chanse's original software. Chanse continued to engineer, believing himself to be an equal partner in the company, not realizing he was actually the equivalent of a kept housewife who just happened to do all of the work. He was young, and stupid, and he came to regret everything.

For eighteen years he worked for this company he believed he'd helped found.

Things at home weren't great, but Chanse had a twisted idea of what love was, anyway. So for eighteen years he let himself be treated badly, mostly because it kept his child in a good home and in good private schools. He did his best to keep the toxic behavior of his boyfriend hidden from his child, though. Any bruises he hid, and any arguing he would back down from, letting Pietro always have the last word. Chanse believed it was what he deserved. He'd let his life get this way, after all.

When Pietro passed away, eyes were on Chanse. Who fell from a third-story balcony in the middle of the day, anyway? Autopsy said Pietro was quite drunk, however, and so Chanse was dropped as a suspect. Just a terrible, tragic, accident.

Pietro had a will, and nothing was left to Chanse. Suddenly he lost everything. The company he believed himself to be part owner of? Gone. They took his work and they abandoned him, just as he'd been abandoned so many times in the past. Once again, he was struggling, the difference being he was older now, and he no longer had a small child to support. Still, he looked for work that would pay what he felt he deserved after working so hard for nearly two decades. And eventually he received an offer from Heywood University. They were losing their software engineering professor, they needed a new one, and his name was still on so much of the work his old company produced.

So he moved to East Haven, bringing his son, the one person in the world who meant absolutely everything to him, with him. For the time being, they are renting a house in Maple Hills, but he is looking for something that will be more permanent for them eventually.

PERSONALITY

Chanse is smart, but definitely foolish. He can memorize numbers, build a computer out of spare parts, and solve intricate math problems in his head, but he'll also hand all of that work over to the nearest person, believing them to have good intentions, and be baffled when they take his work and put their name on it instead.

He's a lover, not a fighter. All his life, he just wanted to be loved. And when he had love, he did everything he could to keep it. When it seemed like he'd lost it, he gave up immediately. Such as with Owen; knowing he'd slept with someone else, even if he didn't remember it and even if it was basically forced on him by his homophobic father, he felt immense guilt and knew he would just hurt Owen when he told him. And so he never did, he just stayed gone, terrified that Owen would hate him. And thus, he likely made Owen hate him just based on his own disappearance.

In addition to looking desperately for love wherever he could find it, he accepted a lot of things as love, even when he knew they weren't. He believed his parents loved him, even though they ignored or hurt him. And he believed Pietro loved him, though their relationship was bizarre to say the very least. He could write books on the things Pietro did to him, especially when he was a young man with a small child, but chances are he won't open up to anyone about all of that. Now that Pietro is gone, Chanse is realizing exactly how fucked up he is after twenty years of that relationship.

He's a good person, believe it or not. He wants what is best for others, though he seems snarky and sarcastic most of the time. His social skills are lacking, but if you can get through to him you'll have a loyal friend for a long time.

Were he to ever seek professional help, he would be diagnosed as bipolar and autistic. He'd probably be given ways to cope a little better than he has in his lifetime, and it could probably be very good for him. Unfortunately, he's never had anyone around to tell him to seek that sort of help, so he's never known how it might actually benefit him. All of the problems he faces he believes are his own fault, and thus his own burden to carry.

Birthdate: July 12th, 1990

Hometown: East Haven

Job: Yoga Instructor at Park Street Yoga

Been in East Haven: 33 years (left for 14 years, has been back for 1 year)

Bio:

tw; addiction, abandonment, neglect

It was rough growing up in Lisette's household. Her mother had an addiction to alcohol and drugs and her father was never home, always trying to escape her mother's unpredictable temper. When she was 7 her father left for good and without a trace. Which left Lis alone to take care of herself and her mother.

With no other person around to take her mother's rage, Lis was the primary person who had to deal with her mother's outbursts. It lasted like this until she was 12 and taken away by the state to live with her aunt and uncle. It wasn't as if she didn't see her mother around town but the move provided her with a sense of stability that she never felt before.

But by then, the girl was wild. She had learned quickly how to manipulate others to get what she wanted and much like her mother, she had a temper. Lis always seemed to find herself in trouble but never faced any serious consequences. Even when she threw a huge house party and had the cops called on her, she was able to talk her way out of trouble.

At the age of 18, Lis moved away. She was convinced that she belonged in a big city such as LA, and that's exactly where she went.

She lived out of her car for a few months, taking whatever jobs that she could get. It wasn't until she met a great connection at a Hollywood mansion party(a party she crashed), that she was able to become a makeup artist working on various sets.

Was she professionally trained? No. Did she manage to pull it off as if she was? Yes.

After years of finding work, one day on a set she met her ex-husband, Max. Typically Lis was never one for commitment but she had fallen hard and fast for him, and after a few months of dating, they were already married. There was a considerable age gap, but at the time, they complemented each other.

Lisette never expected it to last forever, but she didn't expect to be cheated on. When she figured out that he was seeing another woman, Lis left the city without giving him a chance to explain. She mailed back her ring and within a week had her lawyers serve him divorce papers.

Being back in East Haven was healing in a way. She decided to start going to therapy, became a yoga instructor, and even began to patch up her relationship with her mother...but seeing her ex around definitely brings up sour feelings.

Headcanons:

Lis is not professionally trained to be a yoga instructor but no one would ever know.

She still does side gigs as a makeup and hair artist, helping out around town with weddings and other formal events.

Much like her mother, Lis kept her ex-husband's last name out of spite.

Speaking of her past relationship, Lis was quite toxic in that marriage. Looking back on it now, she could have been nicer, but after being cheated on, she'd never admit that out loud.

An absolute flirt. She flirts with anyone and everyone.

She may not be good at commitment, but she is a loyal friend and loyal in romantic relationships.

Important Relationships:

Family; Parents: Felicity and Ethan Carrington, Aunt and Uncle: Elizabeth and Daniel Hartford

Platonic; Plots wanted: Childhood friends, family friends, work buddies, sibling-like relationships, regulars who attend her yoga classes

Romantic; Ex-Husband: Max Diaz; Plots wanted: First love, unrequited crush, exes, hookups

“It takes a special combination of selfishness and selflessness to be a director, and I’ve found I have just enough of both.. "

―Growing up in Birmingham for Hero was a touchy subject. His mother left his father when he was around ten years old. Dad hit the bottle hard after that, and it was up to him to take care of your four younger siblings early on. He never blamed his dad for his machismo. He wasn’t drunk that got violent. He was the kind of drunk that you felt sorry for. Still, it was hard not to resent his old man. he became the man of the house early on, and that was how his love of cooking started. ―Mum had been the one to do most of the cooking, with her gone, and dad to instead stand on his own feet let alone cook his children’s food. The responsibility fell on Hero. He even had to go grocery shopping, gather up all the kids, and make the trek to the farmers market. He does his best to entertain and distract his siblings on the long walks to and from. Singing songs and telling stories, all to keep their minds off things. ―But when it was time to cook, he liked the kitchen. Even as his little sister helped him out - his little sous chef. Sure, he got picked on when kids found out he was doing the mum’s job cooking the meals. In which case, they caught both of his fists. Hero was happy to take care of his siblings. Of course, he didn’t like it all the time. He didn’t like having to help his dad get up and out of bed each day and night. Didn’t like to cook all the time. He was a kid… but they were his family, and family was and would always be important to him. ―Eventually, though, Dad started drinking less. Became more present and aware that his children needed him. And he was grateful, at sixteen, knowing he needed the break, wanted the chance to enjoy his life, and boy did he do so with gusto. ―When it was time to figure out what he wanted to do, he knew it would revolve around food— or at least that is what he thought. Nothing thing he loved even more than cooking was telling stories. He never had the desire to be in the spotlight but bring stories to life, working behind the scenes he loved. ―It started with little short films and plays for the school for local film festivals. His creativity was able to blossom and bloom and he embraced it. As the years went on he — went to a prestigious film school. Stacking up thousands in debt, he eventually and slowly started to work on film and television, and for a while, he enjoyed being a PA and getting that experience. Eventually, though, the theater was more of his calling. So he and three of his siblings moved to New York and there he worked his way up the ranks as a director. ―Moving to East Haven was more of a needed mental retreat than anything. For over 20+ years he’d been burning the candle at both ends. He needed a little peace, needed a change of pace and scenery. Why not East Haven… of course, his self-imposed retirement didn’t last long. And soon took up a director job at the local performing arts center… guess old habits die hard.

INTRO FOR KANYON WEBB

- Basics - Name: Kanyon Webb Age: Thirty Six Birthday: October 24th 1987 Face Claim: Jesse Metcalfe Occupation: Airforce Fighter Pilot Neighborhood: Maple Hills Gender: Male  Pronouns: He & Him  Sexuality: Straight - Family - Mother: Brenna Webb Father: Nico Webb Younger Sister: TBD Webb Younger Brother: TBD Webb Younger Sister: TBD Webb Children: Lake Gabriel Sinclair Pet: Macchiato (Goldendoodle Puppy), Kaluha (Pitbull Husky) - Biography -

Kanyon Webb, a 36-year-old born and raised in Darby, Montana, embodies the epitome of an all-American boy with a childhood rooted in the heartland and the values of hard work, determination, and athletic prowess. Coming from a ranching background, Kanyon grew up with a love for the outdoors and a passion for baseball, a sport that would become a significant part of his life.

From his early years in elementary school to the halls of high school, Kanyon's dedication to baseball was unwavering. He showcased his talent and commitment through countless practices, games, and tournaments. His perseverance paid off when he was granted a full-ride baseball scholarship to Texas A&M University, a prestigious opportunity that set the stage for his future.

During his time at Texas A&M, Kanyon fully embraced the typical all-American college experience. He excelled academically, consistently ranking at the top of his class. Additionally, he became an active member of a fraternity, immersing himself in the vibrant social scene that college life offered. Possessing an undeniable boyish charm, Kanyon lived life to the fullest, enjoying parties, social gatherings, and engaging with others in the vibrant campus environment.

It was during this exciting phase of his life that he met Haven, a meeting that would become a turning point in Kanyon's journey. Their connection led to a fleeting relationship, a one-night stand that neither of them expected would have a lasting impact on their lives. As graduation approached, Kanyon faced a sudden and life-altering revelation when Haven messaged him with news of her pregnancy. In a moment of uncertainty and perhaps fear, he chose to initially ignore the message, focusing on completing his college education and setting off on the path he had envisioned.

Following his graduation, Kanyon made the heartfelt decision to serve his country by joining the United States Air Force. The call of duty was strong, and he was drawn to a career as an Air Force pilot, where he could channel his ambition, discipline, and love for flying into a purposeful vocation. This choice took him to East Haven, where he would embark on his military journey, facing challenges and victories in equal measure.

Now stationed in East Haven, Kanyon is preparing to confront his past as he comes face to face with Haven once again, the woman from his past who holds a significant piece of his heart and an undeniable link to his future. Balancing the demands of being an Air Force pilot with the unexpected complexities of fatherhood, Kanyon's story is a compelling testament to resilience, growth, and the unpredictable turns life can take.

[reyhan-sahir]

[ bensu soral | 29 | cis woman | she/her ] Hey, look! It’s [REYHAN SAHIR] at [EVERLASTING INK]. Did you know they [WORK] there as a [TATTOO APPRENTICE]? I guess they’re from [EAST HAVEN] and have been in town for [TWENTY NINE YEARS], living in [DOWNTOWN]. I also heard they’re a little [DRAMATIC], but also very [DYNAMIC] which definitely makes sense. [ molly | 32 | pst | she/her ]

Reyhan Sahir was the third-born child into the Sahir family. She was supposed to be another boy, but when she came out a girl, the family treated her like a princess. A part of her always resented that, because she idolized her older brothers and felt like she was always kept separate from them.

She did well in school, but her true passion always laid with art. Despite that, she decided to be the most responsible of her siblings, and went to college on the pre-law track, before continuing on to law school at Brown.

She had just graduated, and was preparing to take the bar when her oldest brother, Selim, died, completely devastating her entire family. She took the bar and failed, which proved to be one loss too many and Reyhan decided to blow her entire life up.

She broke up with her serious boyfriend who was about to propose, and decided to pursue a career in tattooing instead. She's spent the last two years apprenticing at Everlasting Ink.

Adem is her only brother still left alive, but while one might assume that would only have brought them closer together, the opposite is true. Adem has become mean and angry, and even if Reyhan could figure out how to get through to him, a part of her is mad that she was always on the outside of their special bond.

About Avery

Full name: Avery Marie Miller Nicknames: Aves, Miller Age: 27 years old Place of Birth: East Haven  Occupation: Escort, Barista and Nail technician Education: High School Diploma, training as a Nail tech. Languages: English Basics

[ Sophie Turner | 27 | female | she/her ] Hey, look! It’s [Avery Miller ] at [The Pink Ladies&The Quick Stop Motel&The Human Bean]. Did you know they [work] there as a [Nail technician&Escort&Barista]? I guess they’re from [East Haven] and have been in town for [all her life], living in [Happy trails in Southerland park]. I also heard they’re a little [Resentful], but also very [Persistent] which definitely makes sense.

More Information TW: abuse, rape, drugs 

Avery grew up with her older sister Aubrey and her mom. Her father left before she was born, or so her mother told her, leaving her without a father figure. Since her mom had an all day and night kind of job as an escort her older sister mainly raised Avery until she was 12 years old. 

When Audrey fully left their home, got married and pregnant, Avery was left behind, and its something she has always resented her sister heavily for. Left in East Haven, taking care of their alcoholic, serial dating mother fell to twelve year old Avery. It was a heavy burden to bear and most days Avery felt like she was drowning. 

At 14 Avery tried to run away, to find her sister and get away from the increasingly bad home life she had, but when she was found sleeping on a park bench a few towns over she was driven back to her mothers trailer. 

She tried again to run away when she was 18 years old, but once again the police caught her and brought her back home. This time, what prompted it was that her mothers boyfriend had raped her for the first time, and he continued to do so for two years until their relationship imploded. That was a very hard time for Avery and laid the foundation for the hopelessness and negative world view she has to this day. Believing that she’s worth nothing to others and that there is no escape for her from her home town. 

Her grades were in the toilet, though knowing that she needed to graduate to be able to support herself, and her struggling mother, Avery pushed trough high school. She was known as a trouble kid. The kind that started fights, smoked on school property, had sex in bathroom stalls, with foul language and inappropriate relations to teachers and students. 

All trough her life the only solace Avery has truly had is her music. She is a singer and self taught guitarist who joined band simply so she could sing in a choir but quit in high school because her older friends thought it was lame. 

While both her mother and sister has struggled with alcohol and drug addiction, Avery has somehow managed not to fall of the wagon. She’s had periods in her life where she has self medicated with alcohol or partied too hard with coke, but she has never fallen completely into the depths of addiction. These days she prefers to smoke weed and indulges with alcohol when she has the time off. 

To keep her mother and herself afloat after high school Avery interned at The Pink Ladies where she became a nail technician. Unfortunately the money she was making was not enough, and so her mother pushed her into escorting. These days she is also working as a barista in the mid afternoons until early evening, hoping to eventually be able to afford a small place of her own. 

Her biggest dream, apart from becoming a singer songwriter or get a record deal with her band is to have a place of her own. To be able to move out of her mothers house and be as free of her as she can be. 

Avery holds a lot of grudges and resentment towards Audrey for leaving her, for not helping out and falling off the wagon when she needed her the most. In her mind Audrey is selfish and got the picture perfect life out of East Haven, with a man who loved her and a family of her own. All the things Avery never got. And she blames Audrey for what she did not have and to a degree believes she will never have.

About Leo

Full name: Leonardo Andrew Clark Nicknames: Leo  Age: 35 years old Place of Birth: East Haven  Occupation: CEO at Clark Publishing, Owner of Book Haven  Education: Buisness major with minor in Literature  Languages: English, Italian

[ Giacomo Gianniotti | 35 | male | he/him ] Hey, look! It’s [ Leonardo Clark] at [Clark Publishing East Haven and Book Haven]. Did you know they [work] there as a [CEO and Owner]? I guess they’re from [East Heaven] and have been in town [since they were born], living in [Primrose Heights]. I also heard they’re a little [entitled], but also very [charming] which definitely makes sense. [ Sirius | 31 | gmt+1 | she/her ]

More Information

His father is American and a Clark, one of the Founding families, and his mother is second generation Italian-American. His maternal grandfather is the head of a prominent Italian family. His family founded East haven with the other Founding families.

Growing up Leo had everything he could ever want and more. As a founding family member he grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth and a sense of entitlement, importance and knowledge he could do whatever he wanted and he would never really get in trouble. This made him reckless and brazen from a young age, constantly pushing authority but also easily taking credit from others. 

While Leo was quite a brat, he was popular enough in school and among his peers. He always shared his familys wealth and good fortune with his friends. Of course that meant even as a little boy he had friends who were only with him to get their share, but he didn’t much care as long as they appeared loyal. 

He was a bit of a sleeze ball in high school, but could not stand bullies. So even though he was a popular kid at his private school, he did not watch anyone being bullied or participated in bullying himself. He stood up for the underdogs, yet did not go out of his way to help those in lower social circles. 

He grew up as his mothers favourite and most cherished child. In her eyes he could do no wrong and she always boasted of his accomplishments big and small. She also has been overly involved in his love life, always having an opinion on the few women he has seen with serious intent. 

Because of his mother he has a love of Italian cuisine and speaks Italian. She spoke Italian at home his entire childhood and they still converse in Italian when it suites them. All his siblings can also speak Italian and have been raised with both American and Italian values and culture. 

He went to Uni for a Major in Business and minor in Literature but he partied a lot and was more invested in having a great time than doing well in class. When he did have to apply himself though he had good grades and he never failed a test or had a low grade on an exam. His father would not have accepted that from him.  

His familys Publishing company also has offices in NYC and Boston, both of which he oversees as CEO. 

While his father had him sit in on meetings and meet with investors and others in the business when he was in college, Leo never had to get his hands dirty as he was interning with his father for 2 years before taking over as owner and CEO the moment he graduated from University.  

He is a notorious playboy who have only had one serious relationship. His girlfriend of three years, who he was genuinely planning on proposing to, disappeared 7 years ago, literally falling off the face of the earth. Leo felt very betrayed and was heartbroken. He has not pursued any serious relationships since and decided to only have a good time with women. His father does push for him to settle down from time to time, but he usually uses work and building his career as an excuse. The way he frames it is he is too consumed and busy being a CEO to focus on starting a family at the moment. 

He knows he can’t remain single forever though, as both his parents expect grandchildren. This worries him and in his darker hours he frets about having to give up his independence and commit to someone. In his eyes women can not be trusted and he expects to be betrayed or left behind. 

He has a love of high end tailored suits and clothing, cigars, cars and expensive wine and whiskey. 

As the oldest sibling he has always been a very loyal and caring brother, always being there for his siblings and making time for them when they need him. He is however notorious for not asking for help himself.

BIO ;  

Ren has been a "good girl" her entire life. She doesn't really drink, she never partied, got good grades, and got into a good college. But no matter how hard she tried to be the prefect child, she was constantly overshadowed by her older brother. It didn't matter how many things she did right, or how much she loved her mother, her mother and brother always were closer.

Ren was a daddy's girl from the moment she was born and lived up to her father's ideals. But again, the trouble her brother got in constantly kept the spotlight on him.

Being close with her father's side of the family made her more religious and traditional so Ren married the first boy she fell in love with, her high school boyfriend Jackson. The two of them married as soon as she was 18

Marriage to Jackson started off just like Ren had dreamed. But as years dragged on the puppy dog love wore off. Both Jackson and Ren wanted to start a family right away, even when they were in college, but the two found it hard to conceived. T

The two times Ren did conceive it was short lived. All this took a tole on the young couples relationship and Jackson started seeing other women secretly.

Jackson was terrible at hiding his affairs though, and before long Ren found out. It went on for years, and every time Ren took him back.

It wasn't until Jackson fell in love with his newest mistress that Jackson left Ren. Before the ink even dried on the divorce papers, Jackson was engaged with a baby on the way.

Now with her "perfect" life and future gone Ren is spiraling.

She got Jackson's boat in the divorce, getting it not because she loves sailing, but because it was the thing Jackson loved the most.

Now, because the divorce left her with little means, Ren is living on said boat.

TWs under the cut: car accident, death, foster care, infidelity

BIOGRAPHY

-Alejandro was born to two Brazilian immigrants and after they were both tragically killed in a car accident when Alejandro was a year old, he went into foster care. Thankfully he found a loving family in the Fontenelle's home and was adopted when he was five years old. 

-While he always knew he was gay, Alex wasn't ready to share that part of himself with the world for a long time. He feared the rejection that might come with being different and ended up dating his best friend in high school, Isla Ricci, so that no one would think twice about it. She knew who he was at his core but being the good friend she was, she never outed him to anyone.

-Alex played baseball all through childhood as his adoptive parents Shani and Ken required him and all his siblings to learn some kind of skill; either an art or athletic skill. He earned a scholarship to Arizona State University and left for college after he graduated high school. 

-While in college, away from his small town life, Alex finally came out as gay and started openly dating a man. He majored in kinesiology and was 22 years old when he was drafted to play third base for the Los Angeles Dodgers. 

-LA was everything Alex hoped it would be. He was thriving in his new job and loved feeling like he was part of something. He played 5 years of professional baseball and was on his way to being a major player in the game when he got caught up in a scandal. He was caught sleeping with the Dodgers team manager, a married man, and when his wife exposed them, Alex was released from his contract and had no choice but to move home to East Haven when he was 28, career over. 

-Since then Alex has been working as a personal trainer the last 3 years and has done his best to keep his head down, hoping that not too many people had heard about what happened in LA.
