LIFE ;

Holden grows up in Nevada in the ‘60s and he’s adopted by his uncle, Jack, and Jack’s wife, Eileen. Holden’s parents are gone – nobody knows where. He sees pictures of his mother. She was from England, but that’s about all Jack and Eileen can tell Holden. He sees far more photos of his father, a tall blond man who was a pilot in the war and met his mother that way. Holden pretends that his parents are together in England, and that they’ll come get him. Maybe when he’s older. Maybe they’re waiting for him to grow up, so that he can travel with them properly. But he’s seven, he’s ten, he’s thirteen, he’s fifteen, he’s nineteen, and they still haven’t shown their faces.

Holden is twenty-three and he’s moving from place to place. His best friend, Charlie, is by his side. The two of them are not entirely honest, but they are not entirely reprehensible either. Sometimes they find a town they like and they stick around for a while. They spend a year in a small town in rural California. Holden works as a mechanic while Charlie tends bar. They live in what is essentially a shack, but which has two bedrooms and a stove that heats the place to an unbearable degree and a reliable bathroom. Charlie meets a woman and for a little while Holden thinks he might settle down but that doesn’t end up happening – her parents hate Charlie, say he’s just a no-good drifter, and Charlie can’t really argue the point. He and Holden leave the day after they break up. Holden’s sorry to go, but he gets used to the road again quickly enough.

Holden is twenty-five and Charlie’s gone back to California without him. Holden is in Detroit, working on an assembly line. He’s married to a woman he doesn’t particularly love. She’s got a strange name – Calliope – which was the first thing he liked about her. He still likes it about her. The truth is that he does like her, which is why it frustrates him that he doesn’t feel in love with her. He wonders, on occasion, if his parents ever felt like they were really in love. Callie and him talk about having children, but they haven’t yet. Callie notices Holden aiming long looks at one of her friends. The rift between Callie and Holden grows until something breaks and Holden bids her farewell, apologizing for any trouble. She doesn’t seem too broken up about it. She tells him it was a long time coming and he can’t help but agree. They say they’ll stay in touch. It’s much to his surprise that they actually do.

Holden is twenty-seven and he’s in Los Angeles, living with a woman named Lydia he met when they were both fired from the same job at the same time. He has a job as a mechanic but at night he and Lydia take long drives outside of town. Holden finds Charlie’s obituary in the paper. He tells Lydia about Charlie and Lydia says lets go for a drive and she packs an overnight bag for herself and he grabs all he owns, which isn’t really much – he’s not that into material things so long as he’s comfortable – and the two of them decide they’re going to drive up to Alaska.

Holden is twenty-nine and he and Lydia are in Seattle. They have a kid now. The kid is Lydia’s, but Holden feels a certain sense of responsibility. He helped pick a name and everything – Charlotte, after Charlie, and her middle name is Celeste. He and Lydia are just friends, which works out for the best – they agree that if they were ever anything more, they’d probably kill each other. Holden is still a mechanic. He still drives too quickly, especially on long open roads at night. Lydia doesn’t come with him much anymore.

Holden is thirty and he gets into a bar fight in Eldstead. It’s 1993 and he’s a little drunk and the guy he fights is a little high and when he wakes up dead years later Holden will be unable to recall why the two of them fought. In 1993 Holden leaves the bar alive, if a little bloody, having gotten away with a warning from the law, and in 1993 he receives one shot to the back of the head as he’s getting into his car. And then there’s a storm, and Holden wakes up.

DEATH ;

Holden isn’t pleased about his inability to leave Eldstead. He’s got no attachment to the town whatsoever. He loves the city and he loves barren landscapes and he misses nightlife and the desert that he knows he’ll never see again. He feels as if he’s been trapped in some strange parallel universe. He’s not unfriendly. He’s not friendly either. He’s reclusive. He haunts the bar he died beside, and sometimes he lets himself be seen in it. He has trouble with reality. He didn’t when he was alive – he was grounded. Now he wonders if anything is real. He supposes it makes no difference. He misses Lydia, and Charlie II. He misses his dog. He misses taking long drives at night. He misses working on cars.

PERSONALITY ;

Holden is laid back, at least up to a point. He was accused in life of being a little too go with the flow, and tended to be able to talk to just about anyone because he wasn’t really doing the talking – he was more of a listener. That’s still true in death, although the experience has shaken something loose in him. He’s more cynical now than he ever was while he was alive, and he fears consequences far less, which isn’t great, considering he was already a bit reckless. It takes a lot to get him shaken up, and if he thinks something, and he wants to say it, he’s gonna say it – he doesn’t believe in brutal honesty if it’s pointless, but if he believes someone’s gotta know something he’s not going to hold it in.

WANTED CONNECTIONS ;

friendships. he’s pretty easygoing, despite being reclusive. he might know people who spend a lot of time at the bar, and anyone who works around cars.

they have a dog and he thinks the dog is cute but . can he even go near dogs?? feel like dogs don’t vibe w the dead. idk !

someone more modern who will explain technology to him. i can’t promise he’ll understand or listen but like... he’s not Fully out of it. he vaguely remembers the internet. it just wasn’t that much of a thing while he was alive.

someone he’s had perfectly normal interactions with but for whatever reason they get like . ghost vibes. a chill goes up their spine. but they’re like ??? this guy seems more or less normal ????

people who know about ghosts . he’d love to pick their brains

enemies, hook ups, etcetera...

honestly . anything !

( joe keery, 23, male, he/him ) — have you heard about parker o’connor? yeah, that’s the one living in apt 23. they’re so ostentatious, it’s unbelievable. to be fair, though, i guess that they’re also quite extemporaneous. still, doesn’t take away from the fact that he was homeless for the majority of his life. ( astra, 18, she/her, pst )

shamsh that like button and i’ll mssg u 4 plots !!!

well hello party people !! tis i, ya girl astra !! as stated before, i’m currently 18, go by she/her pronouns, and in pst for my timezone. i also ?? dont join a lot of rps that do intro posts so forgive me if i’m awkward in this or not rlly following a specific format ?? but anyways, some #cool facts about me would be that i am obsessed with photoshop and web design. it’s lit my passion atm and you can catch me out here bein a nerd abt it. i also rlly love video games so... if you play video games & wanna talk abt it... hMU !!

anyways, moving forward into the actual intro for my bby boi ?? here’s the... quick & easy lil bullet points for him. also, triggers include death, robbery, and homelessness

parker was born in new york. he lived in the city for the first part of his life with his family. one night, however, his parents were killed in a robbery gone wrong. luckily, parker was away and sleeping over at his friend’s house at the time it happened. because of the area in which it happened, his case slipped through the cracks and he was put into foster care. shortly after, he ran away. 

he lived on the streets for a while, and thus, a knack for spontaneity was born. parker traveled a lot after that and did whatever he needed to do in order to satiate his need for adventure. as he got older, he often picked up odd jobs here and there until he eventually settled down in the cheapest apartment he could find.

despite his tragic and humble beginnings, parker rarely feels sad these days. when he does feel somber, it comes and goes in waves and never really sticks. overall, he’s talkative and friendly. 

being untrustworthy is also one major fault of his. a part of his past and living as a homeless teen included stealing and scamming to make enough money for food. he often pickpocketed others and lived his life in a rather deceitful way. while he does feel bad for his past actions, he does not necessarily regret it simply because he did what he needed to in order to survive.

parker is a passionate man, to say the least. he enjoys being everything over nothing and often displays this with erratic behavior. a spontaneous man, parker is often noted for his ability to act creatively and conjure up interesting and fun plans. he’s always a reliable person when it comes to not being bored, but that’s where his accountability ends.

it’s parker’s background, it’s often a shock to find how intelligent he truly is. while he may not know much about chemistry or math, he does know a great deal about literature. he can recite poetry forward and back and has used this skill to his advantage.

parker has also been in his fair share of rock bands. though they were small and never amounted to much, they did post videos on youtube, and as a result, he has accumulated a rather small fanbase. 

throughout his life, he has turned things around. from living a life of being no more than that weird kid who lost his parents, parker is slowly building an empire of his own with his music. he strives towards success and soaks in every bit of it whenever he can. he’s far from camera shy and even enjoys being the center of attention.

aside from music, parker is also a gifted skateboarder. he frequently posts videos and photos of himself skateboarding, and has even posed as a model for small skating companies and clothing companies. 

that’s pretty much ?? it i guess ?? but also, i want to make a section for wanted plots and connections tbh so here we go my dudes

buddies: could be male or female and any age tbh ! all i really want for him are buddies he feels safe with. people who make him want to let down his walls with and be real with

past interests: any gender tbh ?? but i would love some past flings for parker. anything from past relationships to just passing crushes would be neat to write about !

current interest: this would be >?? for only one person and i operate on a chemistry basis, not just plotting. it would also be chemistry in terms of ic and ooc communication. someone i feel safe with in terms of communicating ideas and a person parker will click with. again... it can be any gender tbh

fans: this can be fans of his music or fans of his instagtram ! it doesnt rlly matter which one bcs both can be interesting !
