but they that wait upon the lord, 
 shall renew their strength; 
 they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
t hey shall run, and not be weary; 
and they shall walk, and not faint. j. atticus davis / fifty-three / former-governor / intuitive • born to texas “royalty” and grew up in the white house • expected to follow his daddy into politics  • met his wife, “a yankee,” at harvard university and fell madly in love with the woman who was never afraid to challenge him  • naturally charismatic, genuine, charming, and affable, making people fall in love with him is easy and he wins campaigns without difficulty… but maybe that was the problem all along • hires grace washington; not because he liked her resume, or needed another advisor, but his wife tells him it is good “optics,” and his wife is the smartest person he knows  • begins sleeping with grace washington, again, not because he liked the way her blouse framed her breasts or petite waist, but he enjoyed the way her lips formed the words “fuck off,” especially when he teased her right nipple through her lace bra  • doesn’t move to coventry, MA because he wants to freeze his balls off, or because he’s a disgrace to republicans, or because he likely won’t ever become president, or because he will likely never see grace washington again, he moves to coventry because his wife demands it and he owes her this time.

James Griffin Nash

Chris Pine, 36, clam chowder, Lockheed Martin BoD member

James Griffin Nash, the eldest of five children, comes from a nice Southern family. Unfortunately, that meant he had to set the example for the rest of his siblings while also listening to his father on what his career path would be. At a young age, James had developed a disobedience that could rival a county jail’s inmate numbers. He would not do as his father wanted of him and so started the long years of resentment.

He isn’t all resentful towards his father. His good looks had to come from a second person, not just his mother. His charm and dazzling smile are what got him through life but it was his intelligence and wit that got him farther. This does mean he gets cocky from time to time even when it makes him look like an idiot. But he’s an attractive dork so it comes off as cute… sometimes.

Currently, he is employed as a member on the board of directors for Lockheed Martin, a specialized weapons manufacturer. If ever asked what he does, he always answers with “I work for Tony Stark’s company.” It gets the giggles from the ladies and chuckled from his fellow men. James works for this company not only for the amazing pay but because his father oversees the company’s stock market, exports, and imports. That reason alone is why he worked his way into being part of the board that handles the majority of the sales. James likes to play dirty by dealing under the table. It’s all part of a big plan to sabotage his father.

Besides being this perfect golden child, James enjoys doing the usual sitting and binge watching shows on Netflix despite the pile of paperwork he had on his desk for work. He also likes to pick on his brother Kellan because they never really got along. But he cherishes his family nonetheless although he doesn’t show it much. On his days off, he enjoys a drink at the local pubs, chatting up women, and bringing them to his apartment. Like any bachelor would.

James is pretty easy going, likes to joke around, and is surprisingly easy to talk to despite being a jerk from time to time. But what can you do? He likes rock climbing, karaoke (he’s an alright singer), comics, making stuff in his wood shop, and barbecuing outside on a nice day.

Aluna Makena Lagat 

lupita nyong’o, thirty-five, snickerdoodle, broadcast journalist, passionate filmmaker 

 - Aluna Lagat is the third child of her mother and father. They got a divorce when Aluna was just three because her father cheated and produced another child, Aluna’s little brother. For sure, there will be a request for the rest of the Lagat siblings!

- Since her childhood, she’s always been emotionally driven. She’s been called sensitive way too many times than she would like but as she has gotten older, she’s learned to accept that she is just a big ball of love, tears, and dramatics. Ultimately, being an emotional person has helped her with her career as an on air broadcast journalist. She works at the highest rated morning show in Coventry. 

- Aluna enjoys life. She did not have the best childhood growing up in Bronx, New York. Her father was a no non-sense, super strict man that came to America from Kenya. Her mother was rarely available to just be that caring, supportive parent because she worked so many shifts as a nurse so that she could take care of three little kids. When Aluna left home for college, she pledged optimism. However, her devotion to happiness and turning the other cheek in the midst of chaos can get her into sticky situations.

Chadwick Boseman, Danai Gurira, Michael B. Jordan for Lupita Nyong’o

chadwick boseman | 40-43 | clam chowder (the no non-sense, uptight, protective brother)

danai gurira | 37-39 | lobster roll (the independent, imaginative, technologically savvy sister)

michael b. jordan | 32 | cranberry pie (the creative, talented, slightly immature, lover boy brother)

Look at these beauties! This is a request for Aluna’s siblings. Chadwick, Danai, and Aluna grew up in Bronx, New York Their mother and father were married for twelve years before their father cheated on their mother with a co-worker. Bam, Michael was born when Aluna was just three years old. The three older Lagat children have always been close because they were raised together in the same household. They share similar experiences that have brought them closer as siblings. Michael came into their lives when he was five years old. Their mothers ended any beef that they had against each other. The three older siblings welcomed Michael with open arms. Aluna was just happy that she wasn’t the youngest anymore. Their bond grew even stronger when Michael’s mother unexpectedly passed away. Chadwick, Danai, and Aluna’s mother took Michael into their home. By the time they were all eighteen, they left home to pursue higher education or their dreams (Michael went off to Los Angeles to pursue a music career). Somehow, they’ve all made Coventry their home. 

Chadwick has always been the nucleus of the siblings. He took on the father figure role when their father left. (None of the siblings have spoken to their father in ten years. He purposely went missing.) Chadwick always had to be strong even when he felt like breaking down. He grew up quicker than he should of which resulted in his no non-sense ways. The best way to describe him is a perfectionist. Life was not easy for him, he had to work twice as hard to be just as good as his peers personally and career-wise. (His career is up to you but I see him in a high power position.) Now that he is a single, successful man in his 40′s, loneliness succumbs him. He wants a family of his own but finding the right woman is difficult because he attracts women that want him for his money rather than him as a person. 

Danai is the reincarnation of their mother - strong minded, strong willed, and incredibly independent. She is practically a genius - educational opportunities felt into her lap as a child. By the time she graduated from college, she had close to a hundred thousand dollars worth of scholarship money that she took to UCLA to study in the technology field. Usually, Danai is the only Black woman in her field. She has worked damn hard for her position in her career. She is widely recognized for her work in the STEM field. Danai has been interviewed countless of times, on the cover of O and Essence magazine (OH YEAHHH!), and honored for her work and her Black Girl Excellence. In the meantime, she’s been with her boyfriend for over eight years. (If you could make her boyfriend Andrew Lincoln I would love you forever. My heart yearns for Richonne rp plots.) She’s fearful of taking the big plunge into marriage because she’s frightful of divorce. But she does want to have kids - soon! It’s just that her boyfriend is pretty traditional in the sense that he wants to get married then have kids. 

Michael is the baby boy, the wild card, the black sheep if you will of the family. Aluna and Michael connect the most because they are both creatives. (Aluna is an aspiring film maker and Michael is a musician.) She tends to baby him for several reasons. He is her younger brother, his mother died when he was eight years old, and she just loves him so much. She was pretty overbearing to him as a kid and he gladly accepted her as his security blanket. When he was eighteen, he left New York and moved to Los Angeles for a record deal. He’s a very good singer, drummer, and piano player. Michael joined a boy band when he was twenty in hopes that maybe one day he would get a solo contract. The band had two albums. Their first album had major success but the second one FLOPPED hard. For several years, Michael traveled back and forth form LA to NY in hopes of popping off his career but there has not been any major success. Don’t pity him. Michael decided to go the independent route and take his career into his own hands. He moved to Coventry two years ago and lived with Aluna for a while until he got back on his feet. He works a job that he doesn’t care for (that job is up to you) while he pursues his passion.
