STATS

full name: miranda carissa graves   hometown: huntington beach, ca   sexuality: bisexual  birthday: april 12, 1972   zodiac: aries sun, aries moon, taurus rising  height: 5’7”  languages spoken: english, french, spanish marital status: married children: two  traits: assertive, diplomatic, persuasive, vain, manipulative, vindictive 

BACKGROUND

born into a show business family — her father was a director and her mother a screenwriter — miranda knew from a young age that she was not destined for the same life; she has one younger brother and he works in show business too 

was always the top of her class, excelling in all her academic pursuits; she was president of the debate team in high school and ran the school yearbook committee like it was the goddamn navy 

she got into every college she applied to and decided to stay in california and attend stanford; she obviously was incredible there, but always knew she was destined for the east coast 

she got into a graduate program at rrinceton and shipped out and she has lived on this side of the country since 

she met her husband while at princeton, he is from a powerful political family and they just Made Sense; they got married while she was still in school and she kept her last name, not wanting anyone to think she used her husband’s political connections to build her career (no nepo wife allegations !! only nepo baby ones !!) 

they moved to massachusetts (her husband's home state, very kennedy of him) had two children (wc on main xx) while miranda was building her career as a crisis manager, working for some of the most powerful people in the massachusetts political world

though they have a home in hollow creek, miranda split her time between there and boston so that she was closer to Important Government Matters and would probably be considered a largely absent mother <33

now she mostly works from hollow creek, doing a bunch of behind the scenes, ABC scandal-esque work for Important People

PERSONALITY

mean; listen, she’s VERY charming in her work life and can turn on a sly, sweet side at the drop of a hat, but in her personal life? generally Not very nice! you do not want to be on her bad side 

only loyal to those important to her career and her family — would do Anything for her family, but will not be keeping a promise to anyone else 

despite having loyalty to her children, not a particularly good mother; she has a generally distant relationship with them as she’s always put her career first and she has always had very high expectations for them as she and her husband are both very high-achieving 

will do anything it takes to pull off her job, not criminally involved personally because that could come out and Look Bad, but she is extremely morally grey and is not really concerned with who she has to destroy to move forward

is close to approximately 4 people, does not like to let anyone too far into her life or know too much about her

STATS

full name: cormac brady. nickname: mac. age: 28. star sign: aries. date & place of birth: april 11th 1996, dublin (ireland) job: bartender and aspiring musician. marital status & sexuality: single & heterosexual pronouns: he/him. pets: 1 cat (binx) piercings and tattoos: one ear piercing in his right lobe. eight tattoos see here. aesthetics: warm tea, fresh tattoos, unanswered texts, burnt matchsticks, loud music. traits: charming and affectionate & guarded and indecisive. label: the sweet heart similar to: connell waldron (normal people), ted from ted lasso, sam evans (glee), jon snow (GoT), jake peralta (brooklyn 99) faceclaim: paul mescal.

BULLET POINTS

tw: anxiety, bullying, fatal car accident

Cormac was born to loving parents in Dublin, Ireland, the eldest of three.

Early in his schooling, it became clear that he was struggling and after some tests, he was diagnosed with ADHD. This led to some bullying from the other children.

Music and sports became his school outlet and helped stop the bullying. He became more popular and soon was the main guy in the year that everyone wanted to be around. This switch from the bullied kid to the most popular was hard to process. It led to a lot of anxiety and he became more internal in his thoughts.

This internal struggle with his ADHD, popularity, and previous bullying all came out in his music. At school, he masked and played the role everyone expected of him (similar to Ted Lasso) but at home he would break down and have anxiety attacks. Writing and strumming on his guitar were what calmed him.

Life in the small suburb of Dublin had always felt stifling. Although he was popular, he wasn't being his true self, and he felt like he didn't belong.

Moved to the US at 21 to chase dreams of being a musician. Started to experiment with his appearance and image, which he felt was more of him.

The attention of American women was a whirlwind, and he was somewhat of a lothario in his early twenties. He fell in and out of love quickly, much to the frustration of the women, until one woman stole his heart, and he was head over heels for her.

They moved to her hometown of Hollow Creek to set up a home together. He found work in the local bar where he would play some live sets for extra money.

She was driving to pick him up from work one fatal, stormy night but never made it. The car had been written off, and it was a closed casket. He never got to say goodbye.

Currently, working and singing, unable to process the grief. He is interested in investigating the town and the spooky happenings to distract from the pain of his ex. The anxiety attacks from his teenage years have returned, but like then, he masks it all behind the smile of the friendly Irish barman.

STATS

full name: reece cristanto canosa   hometown: new york, ny   sexuality: bisexual  birthday: january 28, 1998   zodiac: aquarius sun, aquarius moon, cancer rising  height: 5’8”  languages spoken: english marital status: single children: none  traits: idealistic, adaptable, creative, impulsive, reckless, disorganized 

BACKGROUND death mention and overdose tw

the middle child of three, reece was raised by two artists in new york city

their upbringing was very untraditional and reece got to pretty much run wild and do whatever sort of extracurricular activities he wanted

when he wasn't running amuck or skateboarding where he wasn't supposed to, reece went to the movies and read a lot — became a huge fan of horror because their uncle who was a lot younger than reece's dad would always give reece stephen king, shirley jackson, and edgar allan poe books to read

he was pretty good in school, but really didn't care about anything besides english class and sometimes science if the topic was cool

they cruised through school, passing easily and applying to mostly local schools

they went to nyu for creative writing and published his first novel his senior year; it picked up a bit of a cult following and was given a lot of positive reviews

he graduated and decided to stick around in the city for awhile, taking the extra room in their uncle's apartment

just over three years ago, reece came home and found their uncle dead of a drug overdose; this traumatized him completely, they were super close and he was absolutely devastated

this triggered reece to want to get tf out of the city and where better than to a spooky place like hollow creek?

since moving, he has published a book of short stories, but has not been able to produce a follow-up novel that they deem Good Enough

PERSONALITY

certified yapper, you will never get them to shut the FUCK UP

overly confident in a way that is perhaps worrisome

he's smart, but doesn't show off about it

absolutely has undiagnosed adhd

knows a lot about a lot of things and also knows a lot about nothing (king of trivia)

loves to lie! for fun, for no reason at all

loves to tell a story, but is it a true story? who's to say! but it will also take 17984 tangents and turn in directions unrelated to the story itself

addicted to sugar, always has some sort of gummy or hard candy on him, skittles melt in his pockets a lot

kind of straight edge in some respects? (due to their uncle's death) but will drink and smoke weed (profusely)

doesn't talk about their uncle, much prefers to just focus on anything but negative emotion

talks very fast, always doing about ten things at once

probably annoying

is going through some serious writer's block, but does not want to focus on WHY that may be in the slightest

loves to go out and have fun, loves to be a menace to all around

fun to be around and they think they are so so funny (jury's still out)
