( amy adams + cis female + she/her ) / who’s that rustling through the trees? oh, it’s just you, SYLVIA SAINT. i happen to know that you’re a FORTY year old. while you’re from COLUMBIA, MISSOURI, you’re currently living in the THE MARIPOSA LILY TENEMENT. i think that you’re DISCERNING & GENTLE but my mama says you’re SECRETIVE & GUARDED. is that NO CHILDREN by THE MOUNTAIN GOATS currently playing on your spotify? well, turn it down please, you’re disrupting the peace. ( ave + 25 + she/they + pst )

hey what’s up hello from me & sylvia, your (un)friendly neighborhood angst-y, brooding alcoholic w/ a heart o’ gold!

BASICS: 

i’m ave! i’m 25 & i’ve been rp’ing for a long time :/ i mostly indie tbh so groups are always a weird thing for me but i’m super excited for this!!!!

first of all here is her about page. cw for child death, kidnapping, and implied child abuse

the tldr there is that sylvia is a Big Mess and your character probably knows who she is if they watched the news at all 2 years ago bc the kidnapping of her child was a Big Deal and everyone thought she did it bc she was a true crime writer who knew how to Commit Murder (the suspicion was mostly actually driven by homophobia and sylvia’s emotional constipation/inability to cry tho lbr) 

she moved to crescent lake to do research for a book about the cult and the subsequent disappearances bc she hasn’t published anything in like 5 years probably and the royalties from her last books are drying up and all that booze is expensive bby 

please help her 

WANTED CONNECTIONS: 

i’m honestly still kind of mulling these guys over but tentatively 

one of her horrible older brothers

her ex-wife

a??? friend???

someone who reminds her of her daughter

( benjamin wadsworth + cis male + he/him ) / who’s that rustling through the trees? oh, it’s just you, HECTOR IBÁÑEZ. i happen to know that you’re a TWENTY TWO year old GROUNDSKEEPER at the LAKE CRESCENT CAMPGROUND. while you’re from TULSA, OKLAHOMA, you’re currently living in the REDWOOD APARTMENTS. i think that you’re CHARMING & ADAPTIVE  but my mama says you’re  HEDONISTIC & DISHONEST. is that FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT by BEASTIE BOYS currently playing on your spotify? well, turn it down please, you’re disrupting the peace. ( admin velouria + 25 + she/her + est )

hey i’m velouria!! i’m so happy y’all are here and i’m ready to get things going! this is my first child and first up, hector is a bad person. he is a bad, bad, bad, terrible, horny person. don’t think he’s good at all bc he’s not and i hate him and you should hate him too.

born in tulsa, oklahoma on november 10th, 1996, hector, surprisingly, came from the most normal suburban beginnings you could imagine. he had two parents, an older sister, dog, cat, and a hamster. he was a rather normal child, though he had a wild independent streak that only got worse as he aged. didn’t play very well with others and would only play simon says if he got to be simon, but was friendly and jovial with those he liked.

stubborn as a mule, hector was fiercely independent and increasingly selfish. by the time middle school came around, hector created a hierarchy within his group of friends and became a bully around his school, though was more pushy than outright cruel. a very rowdy teen, hector never took anything very seriously and didn’t form attachments in a healthy sort of way, something that’s only worse instead of better now. 

while he liked his family well enough, he never felt a strong bond with them. they loved him very much and would try to foster a healthy, loving relationship with him, he was like #nah and spent most of his time out of the house, never telling them what he was doing and where he was going. his father and sister gave up on him, but his mother still held out hope that it was just an incredibly long phase.

barely showing up to school even when it was mandatory, hector’s primary focus was on having a good time. that meant sex, drugs, and copious amounts of partying. scaring little old ladies, taking cars on joyrides. a petty criminal by the age of fifteen, hector hasn’t been in trouble with the law very often, but it’s really only a matter of time before he gets more severe.

his parents didn’t have a chance to kick him out or send him to military school because he straight up bounced by the time he was seventeen. he left one day to a friend’s house and just didn’t come back. hector didn’t stay around tulsa for very long after that, drifting all over the southwestern states, most notably in reno, nevada in his late teens.

out on his own, or rather couch surfing with like-minded individuals, hector got to experience the highest points of pleasure and pain. a full blown hedonist, the only thing that mattered (and matters) to hector was fucking, fighting, stealing, and getting high. basically if you’ve ever seen the movie hellraiser, hector is frank.

though he hung around reno the most, around two years, hector doesn’t like to stick around often. even when he was situated in places like reno, he often leaves without word to anyone and shows up again like a neighborhood stray cat.

which brings him to crescent lake. pretty much run out of reno for his terrible treatment of others and his criminal activity, hector traveled all over california before settling in crescent lake. though he didn’t really need to, he’s been laying low for just over a year now. he first took up residence at the camping grounds for a few weeks before he ran out of money and got a job at the resort as a groundskeeper to pay off his bill. it’s hard work but sometimes you gotta work a little so you can ball a lot. now he lives at the redwood with two roommates.

his debt is paid but hector likes it in crescent lake. it’s small but new people come through all the time, so he hasn’t gotten bored yet. plus he likes to be a big fish in a little pond, he can use people and control them better that way. he basically just coasts on his charm and curly hair.

the biggest thing to know abt hector is that he’s a horny dude. he’s literally always thinking about sex and the second he meets you, he’s thinking about fucking you, no matter how old you are (as long as it’s legal because gross and i would never rp that), if you’re in a relationship/married, or what gender you are. he is literally the worst.

wanted connections:

sexual partners: basically hector wants to bang everyone. if you’re up for it, he will fuck you at pretty much any time, but just know that he’s also fucking like five other people and has never been monogamous in his entire damn life.

a girlfriend: okay so i just said he’s never been monogamous but sometimes hector likes to pretend. or rather, he’s using her to get something, likely companionship when he’s bored or access to money/drugs/alcohol, whatever. a place to sleep at night. just something! she’ll probably think they’re more serious than they actually are but hector does actually like her as a person, or she’s trying to get him to be more serious/grow up.

enemies: hector is a hard person to like and an easy person to hate. he has very little regard for others and enjoys physical fighting bc it feels good. they can hate him because he screwed them over, cheated on them, cheated on their friend/sibling/whatever, stole something from them, or they just don’t like his smug face.

friends: if your muse likes to party, hector is your man. he basically just lives to have fun. however, his version of fun is kind of scary and dangerous at times. he can be a bad influence on your muse and get them into trouble or they can be a good influence on him.

a close friend/confidant: hector isn’t an emotional person but occasionally he does have moments of vulnerability. when this happens, your muse is the person he comes to when he needs someone to be there for him or needs someone to talk to. your muse could be doing this reluctantly or in hopes that he’ll be there in the same way for your muse, which isn’t very likely but hector will like to pretend lol.

 or any connection we can think up!! message me on here or discord (wanda’s loving boy#1003) if you wanna plot!

[sinistcrkid]

( miles heizer + cis male + he/him ) / who’s that rustling through the trees? oh, it’s just you, CARTER DYLAN. i happen to know that you’re a NINETEEN year old GAS STATION ATTENDANT/DRUG DEALER at the FLYING DUTCHMAN. while you’re from PORT ANGELES, you’re currently living in the NORTH CRESCENT NEIGHBORHOOD. i think that you’re PERSONABLE& THOUGHTFUL but my mama says you’re IMPULSIVE & AGGRESSIVE. is that HOSPITAL BEDS by COLD WAR KIDS currently playing on your spotify? well, turn it down please, you’re disrupting the peace.

Born and raised in Port Angeles, Washington, Carter’s life was about survival. His father could never hold down a job, as he was more concerned where his next fix was coming from rather than providing for his family. His mother worked three jobs, and was hardly home.

Since their mother was working most of the day, Carter and his sister relied on and took care of one another.

When Carter was seven, his mother finally decided to leave his dad, only to jump into another horrible relationship. This guy was less of a drunk and more of an abuser. But he was a police officer with a nice paycheck and within a year the two were married.

Carter has always been a little bit of a fighter. But what he lacks in physical strength, he makes up in mental strength. Well, so he thinks. He’s a pretty witty kid, and his tongue often gets him into fights his muscles can’t get him out of.

So, it wasn’t unusual for him and his step dad to get into physical altercations, as Carter smart mouth always had something to say. Bottom line, the two didn’t get along great.

He’s a great salesman. He’s been selling things since he was on the playground. When he was a kid it was candy bars, when he was a teenager, it was weed.

He was a practically had a whole business set up in his high school selling tree to his peers. He was bringing in a decent amount of money, enough to help if he needed to and buy some things for himself.

Eventually, his stepdad found out what he was up to, and was not happy about it. They two got into a very heated fight, which ended up with Carter getting beaten nearly to death.

His sister came home at the perfect time, and intervened with her mom’s pistol she kept in the closet, just in case. She put a bullet in her step dad’s brain.

With not much else to do but run, the brother and sister fled out of Washington, and wandered throughout various cities through Idaho, Oregon, and California. They stumble upon a town called Crescent Lake, and Carter thought it would be a great place to set up a marijuana business.

It’s been about a year since he’s been in Crescent Lake, and that is the longest time he’s lived somewhere since he was fifteen. He still sells weed (among other products), but he also works at the gas station.

POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS:

Carter’s sister is a wanted connection on the main!

CUSTOMERS: People who buy off of Carter. I would love some loyal customers as well as maybe some newer ones. Carter will hook it up and he definitely the plug around town.

UNREQUITED CRUSHES: Carter falls in love with anyone who is nice to him, tbh. So, he could have a handful of these. It would be interesting for him to have some crushes that are playing him for free drugs.

FRIENDS: Carter is the type of person that can be friends with anyone, no matter age, social status, or interests. I would like to him to have a variety of different kinds of friends. I would like friends that he could party with as well as some older ones that look out for him?

ENEMIES: Maybe someone who ripped Carter off? Maybe someone Carter ripped off? A rival drug dealer? Someone who rejected his romantic advances? I’ll take it all!

introducing . . . TAMSIN ROMANO !

( amanda arcuri + cisfemale + she/her ) / who’s that rustling through the trees ? oh, it’s just you, THOMASINA ‘TAMSIN’ ROMANO. i happen to know that you’re a TWENTY-ONE year old MAID at the LAKE CRESCENT CAMPGROUNDS. while you’re from CRESCENT LAKE, you’re currently living in the LAKELAND MOBILE HOME PARK. i think that you’re ARDENT & MAVERICK but my mama says you’re SLY & CASUISTIC. is that KILL OF THE NIGHT by GIN WIGMORE currently playing on your spotify ? well, turn it down please, you’re disrupting the peace. ( mads + 19 + she/her + est )

ABOUT. tw: death, cult.

if you’re from crescent lake then odds are you’ve heard of the odd romano twins: thomas & thomasina. their lives were, & forever would be, bound to an inescapable cult they never asked for any part in.

their father, sebastian, had the misfortune of being alma & mabel thomas’s nephew. not long after the sisters’ demise he made his way to the quaint town to make a weak attempt at cleansing the family name.

the trip wasn’t a total failure, though. crescent lake was where he met greta. it was love at first sight... or so he thought. they jumped into the relationship a little too fast & within months learned she was pregnant with twins. this is when things grew hairy. 

seb began to notice things in greta that love had previously clouded. with very little investigation he learned that she was just another ‘thomian’ cult loon, using him in hopes of giving birth to a 'pure being’ of thomas blood. disgusted, seb left without a trace, never to be heard from again.

the twins, thomas ‘tome’ & thomasina ‘tamsin’, grew up in the south crescent neighborhood, the family riding off of an unemployed greta’s trust-fund. it didn’t take long for the trust fund to run dry, &, when the kids were nearly six, they were left with little choice but to take haven in the lakeland mobile home park.

she tried her hardest to brainwash them into a ‘thomian’ way of thinking, but tamsin’s mind was far less malleable than her brother’s. to her mother’s dismay she questioned & argued far too much. as much as tamsin tried to cleanse tome’s mind of their mother’s poison words, he could never break free of her spell. this would ultimately lead to his doom. 

when the twins were fifteen, tamsin got a sinking feeling in the put of her stomach whilst at school. she rushed home to find it empty. following the gps tracker on her twin’s phone, she found herself at the edge of the crescent lake. by then it was too late.

paramedics & emergency services arrived, dragging two cold bodies out of the lake. greta had finally convinced tome to make the ultimate sacrifice to god. they were able to revive tamsin’s mother, but her brother wasn’t so lucky.

the lack of oxygen damaged her mother’s brain & now tamsin is burdened with taking care of the witch. getting a job at the campground, where she always feels closest to tome’s spirit, she’s been working as a maid for years.

TID-BITS.

her blood-affiliation to the thomas sisters’, as well as the tragic death of her brother, has made her a bit of a celebrity to the tourists in town & campground guests. it isn’t uncommon of them to ask for her photo or berate her with questions. she usually just flashes them the bird.

her surname ( romano ) is actually her mother’s maiden name. ‘thomasina thomas’ just didn’t have the right ring to it.

just because she’s been working as a maid for years doesn’t necessarily mean she’s a good one. the girl has developed some very sticky fingers; it isn’t uncommon for guests to notice a trinket or two missing from their luggage. her kleptomania helps her keep a little bit of pocket cash to spend on things other than rent, food, & medication for mother-dearest.

tamsin doesn’t think of herself as a medium, but she doesn’t still feel a connection to her late-brother. some people think she’s crazy when they see her chattering to herself, but she’s actually just chit-chatting to his spirit. he never responds, but she likes to think he’s listening.

she had dreams of ditching the small town to attend a prestigious art school. unfortunately, she was trapped to her hell-hole of a trailer to care for a devil-woman. she still paints & draws whenever she gets a chance, usually as an escape.

she has a cat named jitters. he acts more like a canine than feline & is known to follow at her heels almost everywhere she goes.

she almost always has something in her mouth, usually hubba-bubba gum or a cigarette... sometimes both. she’s practically addicted to the two.

CONNECTIONS.

tome’s best friend: this person was best friend’s with tammo before he died. tamsin always tagged along on their adventures. they were the three musketeers that spent nearly everyday together. whether this muse & tamsin drifted ways or grew closer after tome’s death is totally open.

on / off: tamsin has major commitment issues AND daddy issues... never a good pairing. she cares about this person a lot, but can’t help but abruptly pull away anytime they get too close.

fwb: noncommittal with no strings attached. sure she probably daydreams ‘what if we were something more’, but is determined not to catch feelings. how they feel about each other outside the bedroom ( annoyance, enemies, friends, etc. ) can be discusses.

worker bestie: tamsin works on the campgrounds as a maid. it’s not the most desirable job &, oh boy, she has seen some crazy shit in those rooms. she & this person love to complain about their jobs, share horror stories, & make their jobs just a teensy bit more bearable.

paranormal club ( 0 / 2 ): ghosts, ghoulies, aliens... you name it, she’s hunted for it. blame it on her brother’s death, but she’s obsessed with the paranormal. tamsin & these two think of themselves as ‘hunters of the unordinary’. they have a corny blog, but it has a small following. their foolery is mostly for their OWN entertainment.

I’M HONESTLY OPEN TO ANYTHING ! PLZ HMU !

( gina rodriguez + female + she/her ) / who’s that rustling through the trees? oh, it’s just you, ANA RIOS CAMACHO. i happen to know that you’re a THIRTY-TWO year old HIGH SCHOOL HISTORY TEACHER at the CRESCENT LAKE HIGH SCHOOL. while you’re from CRESCENT LAKE, you’re currently living in the REDWOOD APARTMENTS. i think that you’re DRIVEN & PASSIONATE but my mama says you’re OBSTINATE & OBSESSIVE. is that MY HEART WILL GO ON by CELINE DION currently playing on your spotify? well, turn it down please, you’re disrupting the peace.

Hi everyone I’m Mandy and this is Ana. A few things about her!

Her Grandparents were part of the cult that plagued the camp years ago. Her Father was there when the deaths happened, only a child at the time. He was supposed to jump with everyone else, but he ran off, terrified. He later on went on to have two children with a nice woman he met in town. A firstborn son, and then Ana.

Throughout her childhood, her Father became increasingly obsessed with the deaths that have happened at the camp. He never truly got over seeing what happened with the cult, and it’s halfway driven him insane. He divorced from his wife when Ana was sixteen, and she resents him and the town because of his obsession. Though she’s always stayed in town for her Mother and brother, and against her better judgment her Father, to help out the family financially. She always planned to leave once they were settled, but established her career as a High School History teacher. Despite her negative feelings towards the history of her town, she found a great passion for history as a whole.

She was saving up to leave her family a good sum of money and to finally move out of town, when she went away for a teachers conference. While away, she went out for drinks one night to blow off some steam, and ended up having a one night stand with a man whose name she never caught. She didn’t find out until two months after she got back home, but she was pregnant. Coming from a deeply religious family, she decided to have the baby, which ended up derailing her plans and depleting her savings. 

Having her daughter Eva was the greatest surprise of her life, but she loves her with all of her heart. She’d do anything within her power to protect her, and is currently trying to re-save money to raise her child in a safer town with less gruesome history. Her Father, still drifting around town, tries to reconnect to her and get to know her daughter. So far, she’s been reluctant to do so, not wanting Eva to have the same memories of him as she does. She loves him from a distance, but she knows letting him into their lives again is a bad idea. 

Fun facts!

She has a pomeranian named Chichi who thinks its a terrifying guard dog and WILL bark at anyone who comes within a three mile radius.

She says she likes to do Yoga but she just pretends to go in order to get out of the house and have some alone time, and gets food for herself. 

Ana really likes DIY crafts but literally is the least crafty person alive and 10/10 times she has to throw them out.

SO YES feel free to come plot with me! :)

alright, pals. i’m back from my day trip into the city. it was supposed to only be a couple hours and it turned into seven !! and on opening day of all days. i’m lucia. i work night shift so my timezone means literally nothing, because my sleep schedules cycles bi-weekly through all the timezones. also this is mila !!

some fun facts about mila can be found below the cut. are they fun? let’s find out.

mila was adopted at a young age by her parents’ close friends after her mother’s death, for which mila’s father was convicted and sentenced to life for. there is a great controversy over the handling of her mother’s crime scene and whether or not her father was responsible or not. there’s even a netlfix documentary called there’s no smoke in her lungs about her mother that raises more questions than it provides answers. mila has never seen it.

the liddell’s kept mila’s surname due to her age, but she is very much their daughter after having been raised by them from the age of seven on up. she’s very close with her adopted siblings and is especially fond of her sister lisa--though she doesn’t always like the choices in social groups lisa makes.

after receiving her bachelor’s in cultural anthropology and sociology, mila went on to pursue a doctorate in urban folklore and deviance. she’s chipped away many of her upper level courses and is now working on a thesis. the trip down to crescent lake offered a unique microcosm of historical tragedy, urban legends, and contemporary disappearances--the perfect mix for her thesis. she’s tagged along with lisa to see if she can make anything useful out of all of this.

back home, mila has several hobbies outside of university. she’s a jammer for the palo alto roller derby and an amateur baker. she likes motorcycles, horror movies, and synth.

nina sommers : an intro to.

( zoe kravitz + cis female + she/her )  

NINA SOMMERS. TWENTY SIX year old CASHIER at the MAIN MARKETPLACE. 

from NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA, living in NORTH CRESCENT NEIGHBORHOOD. 

THOUGHTFUL, FREE-SPIRITED, UNAMBITIOUS, TACTLESS. 

( kid + 26 + she/her + est )

idk what i’m doing with my life, so why not hop on that rp train some more? yes? yes. i’m kid, an on-off simmer, on-off rper, i have an on-off relationships with everything tbh. yeah that got a little too intimate too quick. excusez-moi.

more on nina. nina started off as a character in a disney rp and i’ve decided to travel different universes with her (har-har). i’m kinda shy in rl, and I’m not the best at keeping friends (keeping it 100, yes.) and I kinda wanted to give those traits to nina. 

she’s generally kept to herself, probably. As I’m writing this, nothing is set in stone. I feel like that usually kills the muse for me. as i rp, i prefer to go with the flow. starting off with bios and profiles aint my thing. replying to starters is my thing. as I go along headcanons are bound to ensue, naturally. i’m up for chatting and the likes. wanna get to know nina, wanna chat about life or even death (if you’re into that) feel free to hmu.

current headcanons (maybe things a neighbor would know):

- first born of 7 rowdy sommers children.

- born in nevada city, ca.

- was 6 when she moved to crescent lake with father, step mother and younger brother at the time.

- only child to late mother, june jackson, first to currently alive and well father, jim sommers, and the first step child to akeela sommers. 

- was the self-proclaimed “black sheep” of the household. didn’t get along with many folks around crescent lake, especially her own. the rebel child, the wild child, the bad influence... however you want to put it, she was/is all that in short.

- has been told she smells like tea tree oil, mango and outside (interchangeably or all together).

- fashion sense: the bare foot hippie hobo still in middle-school. 

- artistically inclined. 

- sleep walker. 

that’s all i’ve got so far. maybe i’ll add more later. again... hmu svp. ty. i promise i won’t bite... even if you’re into it c:

( lucia + 31 + she/her + pst )

hello again, ladies and germs. this is nancy tran and i’m still lucia !! as promised, here is a little intro about nancy.

nancy tran is the only child of daniel and karen tran, whose mother and maternal grandfather have been part of the sheriff’s department since, seemingly, time immemorial. after high school, nancy took a job as a receptionist at the sheriff’s department to supplement her income while attending college part-time online. the part-time position was dissolved during a series of budget cuts and nancy moved onto a full-time 911 dispatch position within the department.

nancy’s parents divorced when she was eight and her father moved to vietnam to care for his sick parents when she turned thirteen. she’s lived with her mother and maternal grandfather since. while they are close, she feels constant pressure to major in criminal justice and return to the department as a sheriff’s deputy. nancy isn’t sure whether she’s interested in doing that or if she just thinks she is because of her family. regardless, she has no idea what she wants out of life.

after the recent rash of eerie 911 calls and rumors of someone out there with an axe to grind ( i’m so adorable and hilarious ), nancy is a little more reserved than she used to be. the job has made her a little more jaded, suspicious, but she’s still a tender-hearted girl at heart ( and yearns to share some of that hot sheriff’s dept gos ).

hey folks, still lucia, even though this icon doesn’t match the rest of my motif ( it’s bc velouria made it for me at an old rp and i can’t let it go, because it’s too damn beautiful !! ). below the cut, you’ll learn more about joey ryan. waitress at the sapsucker diner ! tw parent death, alcoholism.

joey’s father went missing when she was thirteen. the second of four kids--three girls and a boy--joey and her sister heather looked out for the younger katie and edmund while their mother worked and drowned her sorrows in cooking wine and daytime television. heather moved out at age twenty and had twins with her high school sweetheart. things seemed to be improving for the ryans and joey was looking forward to getting out of crescent lake and going to college after graduation and fulfilling her dream of being a writer.

in the fall of joey’s senior year, heather and her boyfriend died in a car accident, leaving their mother felicity ryan completely shut down and heather’s twins orphaned. since then joey has worked hard to maintain her mother’s image ( though most people suspect that joey takes care of the children ) in order to keep custody of her siblings, niece and nephew. she waits tables at the sapsucker diner and does odd jobs for those who need a helping hand or occasional child care. there’s little time to write--she’s lucky if she can finish a book that isn’t an audio book--but joey still dreams of leaving crescent lake some day.

( lucia + 31 + she/her + pst )

it’s lucia, back with two more ladies. below the cut, please find some fun facts about billie ! tw suicide mention, medical mention, stalking mention, cancer mention, parent death.

billie is an er nurse from vancouver bc where she grew up with her father after her mother’s suicide. the pair grew up poor, largely due to her father william’s complicated grief, but things started to pick up after billie had a brush with trouble in high school--attempting to make some illegitimate money on top of her two jobs. that was enough to pull her father back into the world and the pair were inseparable as billie worked her way through nursing school.

when she graduated, william gave her a siberian husky puppy, which she affectionately named macready for the movie the thing. macready has been with her ever since--through a long career in er nursing, her father’s cancer diagnosis and eventual death. before leaving on her travel assignment, billie broke her engagement off with a man that she never felt truly understood her, but felt beholden to following his help caring for her father in his final days. the catalyst had been when a patient she’d met only long enough to discharge for a colleague had began stalking her and her fiance had not given her the support she needed.

after that, billie took a travel nursing assignment in the united states and her first contract landed her at the crescent lake general hospital. unwilling to allow herself to pick up a permanent residence, she stays in cabin thirteen and enjoys the comfort of having roommates for the time being.

Born in Daegu, South Korea as Yuen Joo-hyuk, Jovi has lived in the States for about ten years now.  After graduating from high school, he and his band EAT THE RICH packed up a van and headed straight for Southern California, where they were met with rejection after rejection from record companies.  Their sound was too   ❝ old school, ❞  too Warped Tour 2009 for anyone to take seriously.  But ETR, with their leather skinnys, dirty converse, and beanies wouldn’t change their sound for anything, and at least some people appreciated that.  While they would never make it big off of EPs and albums they’ve released through indie labels, ETR’s cultivated a nice following through constant touring, online streaming, and hyperactive twitter and v-live accounts.

What went wrong is, well, pretty stupid.  Overeager fans eventually dug into each of the band members’ pasts and realized to their horror that their antifa sympathetic, socialist-spouting, marxist lead guitarist was none other than the son of a smaller chaebol family in South Korea.  An elitist hack.  A problematic poser who was cancelled, dripping in daddy’s money with lyrics were as empty as the crap playing over the radio.  Being iced out of the scene he made a home in for the better half of ten years, ETR put touring on hold until the next scandal came along.  Jovi now finds himself in Crescent Lake, California, killing time down and enjoying the peace and quiet that comes with shitty internet connections and anonymity.

* ETR sounds a lot like Framing Hanley, but after the 2016 elections they sort of switched sounds to adopt a more political-driven message a’la Green Dayish.

⋆  ◦  *  ZODIAC SIGN ——  aries.

❝ The first sign of the Zodiac, Aries are the trailblazers.  Passionate and independent, Aries will never do something just because everyone else is doing it—a Ram needs to be 100 percent committed to the task at hand.  Competitive to the max, the best way to motivate an Aries is to turn something into a contest.  Aries will put everything they have (and then some) into winning.  Loyal, smart, and impulsive, they always have multiple projects on their mind, and won't be satisfied until their work, social life, and personal lives line up exactly with the dream life they've envisioned.  Those who are drawn to magnetic Aries may have trouble keeping up—but if they can, they'll have a friend for life. ❞ ( x )

personality quirks: assertive, goal-oriented, energetic, sensual, industrious, easygoing, temperamental, forthright, competitive

⋆  ◦  *  PERSONALITY TYPE ——  estp.

❝ ESTPs are outgoing, straight-shooting types.  Enthusiastic and excitable, ESTPs are "doers" who live in the world of action.  Blunt, straight-forward risk-takers, they are willing to plunge right into things and get their hands dirty.  They live in the here-and-now, and place little importance on introspection or theory.  The look at the facts of a situation, quickly decide what should be done, execute the action, and move on to the next thing. ❞  ( x )

personality quirks: overdramatic, impatient, suspicious, practical, spontaneous, reckless, restless, perceptive, chaotic

⋆  ◦  *  CHARACTER ALIGNMENT ——  true neutral.

❝ A neutral character does what seems to be a good idea.  She doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos.  Most neutral characters exhibit a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality.  Such a character thinks of good as better than evil-after all, she would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones.  Still, she's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. ❞  ( x )

⋆  ◦  *  CHARACTER  ——  miscellaneous.

Hobbies: playing guitar, skateboarding, listening to music, bowling, eating shitty food, complaining, taking naps everywhere, getting daydrunk, online shopping, bar games, cards

Vices: herbal cigarettes, cheap champagne, taking dares

Personal style: true 2000′s punk ass.  Skinny jeans, skater shoes or combat boots, flannels around the waist, arms stacked with bands and ears all studded.  Never wears the same sunshades twice.  Obnoxious patterns in the summer, not afraid of colors.  Beanies or ring-studded caps.  Lip-ring.  Tatt’ed arms, back, and chest.  Studded belts.

Favorite places in Crescent Lake: Recreations Cabin, Snack Shack, Conestoga Wagon Bar, Crescent Lake Lanes, La Casita Blanca restaurant

⋆  ◦  * WANTED  ——  connections.

⋆  someone to show him around town, put up with some weirdass comments from a guy who’s grown up in cities his whole life.  probably his first friend, first partner.  maybe they met at the bar or the bowling alley.

⋆  townie who becomes a friends with benefit-kinda thing.  definitely met at the bar and spent a long, dragged-out drunken night together that wound up with a lot of fucking and a lot of talking.  a quick flash.  who knows if it’ll last.  any gender.  

⋆  someone just as competitive as him.  they’re always daring each other to do stupid shit.  bowling, drinking, pranking other cabin members.  soon, dares won’t turn out so well for either of them once shit starts getting serious at the lake.

⋆  someone who tells him about the lake’s history somehow because he doesn’t know shit.  jovi just kind of drove into town on the way to somewhere else and decided to stay.  murders?  urban legends?  whaaa?

⋆  a fan.  ETR never made it big, so they’re relatively unknown outside of certain circles.  this is one person who does happen to know exactly who and what jovi is, so they pretty much know he’s a fraud, too.  how they react to that is all utp.

⋆  a fellow visitor who used to be cabin mates with jovi but it only lasted a day because he was a trashed mess.  (  read: what do you mean the cabin isn’t the same thing as a cheap motel room?  )
