--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Matthew and Stacey Harmon where the epitome of what success should look like. They were a young couple who had come from nothing and mounted to be the most sought-after criminal defense lawyers in the United States. They were known for their poise and ability to handle high profile cases with dignity and discretion. Their clients ranged from high-grossing actors and celebrities to politicians and other government officials. And in the years since their jump into high profile, they had built up an image that both always strived to be. They had to be picture perfect. Perfectly put together. Fit the part of success. So naturally, when they became pregnant, it wasn’t something they had planned or particularly wanted. They tried to keep the pregnancy as quiet as possible, and while they had always had the option of abortion or adoption, for some reason the Harmons had allowed the pregnancy to go full term.

Rosemarie Jane Harmon was born on August 5th, 1992 and unlike most babies, Rose was not held by her mother immediately after birth. In fact, she had been refused and sent immediately to the hospital nursery. The rest of her life followed in similar fashion. Rose had come into her parents’ life as unwanted and unloved. A child ruined the image the stoic lawyers had tried to build for themselves and their practice, especially as child as lively and rambunctious as Rose had been from the start. Rose had probably been embraced by her parents only a handful of times, most of the love she received growing up coming from the Nanny – Elizabeth Green – that had been hired to raise her. But even Elizabeth – the only mother figure she had truly grown to know – was taken from her once Stacy deemed Rose old enough to take care of herself.

Growing up without any love or affection had Rose searching for it in all the wrong places from a very young age. It started off innocently enough – mostly confined to causing trouble at home, just so she could get a flicker of attention from her father or mother but that stopped working, her cries become louder. Living in Atlanta, it wasn’t hard to find trouble. In school, Rose started to hang out with the wrong crowd. Though, the more trouble she found, the less it seemed her parents cared, almost slowly fazing her out of their image.

She was 17 when she first fell from grace. At a rave, Rose stuck her tongue out, letting a tablet be pressed to her tongue for the first time. She’s been after that high ever since. It was the closest thing that she could imagine love felt like. It took her away from the feeling of worthlessness that plagued her because of her parents’ incapability of loving her as parents should love their children. It took her away from the pain of missing her only mother figure who never tried to reach out to her despite promising a young rose she would on the day she was let go. It took her away from the depression that ran through her body despite her refusal to acknowledge it.

From that moment on, Rose lived searching for the occasional high to get her feeling alive again but for the most part, she had it under control, still having a firm grip on reality. But everything began to take a different path when she met Andrew. He was older than her, a good five years. But despite their age difference, they had immediately hit things off and it wasn’t long before Rose had fallen completely head over heels for him. He was the first person she opened up to him about her home life and when Andrew heard of her misery, he had given her the option to follow him to his next destination.

With no family or real friends to hold her back, Rose didn’t hesitate to pack what she could when her boyfriend at the time asked her to run away with him. They hit the road then and Rose hasn’t been back to Atlanta since. When her and Andrew landed in Chicago, Rose’s eyes were opened to a new world – mostly for the worse. He introduced her to a world of endless fun and chemically induced euphoria. It was with him that the dependency for drugs began to really grow. It started off her a tablet of molly here or there, like she had been doing in Atlanta, and before she knew it, she was doing a line in the bathroom of a club.

About a year or so after being together, Rose’s world would soon fall apart. One morning, after a typical night of partying, she woke up to find that Andrew was dead. He had overdosed and she’d been too high too notice. By the time she had woken up, it had been too late. So, Rose got up, called the cops and ran before they got there.

Rose’s already fragile heart was shattered at losing the one person that had loved her in this cruel world. The one person she had loved unconditionally. And the grief fueled her addiction even further. 

From that day forward, Rose lived most of her minutes high or searching for the next dose. It didn’t really matter where the high came from, she just craved that feeling of euphoria, of being alive, of numbness. If it came from a tablet of molly, fine. If it was from a shot of heroin, cool. A mixture of opioids, why not? A smoke of meth- what was the harm? But her favorite way to lose herself was from a line of cocaine. Rose began to live a very nomadic life, travelling where she wanted, making connections as she went, crashing on their couches and starting all over again. There were times when she became so drugged, she would party for days, unable to settle down enough to stop and sleep. She got into fights. Spent many days in stupors, a haze. She wouldn’t have a clue of the reality around her.

Rose was twenty, when she OD’d for the first time and was admitted into rehab for her addiction. After a few months of rehab, Rose was released, and she wasted no time in falling back into her vices. She continued to jump from place to place, never staying no longer than a few weeks at a time. In her travels, she had several relapses, a couple of times causing her to be readmitted into rehab. But sadly, her addiction was stronger than her will live.

That was until she met Finely but Finley is someone Rose never talks about.

If Rose lived in shadowed lands, then Finley lived in other darkness. There was fragility around this woman that had drawn Rose to her immediately. Their initial time was spent mostly just hooking up but it was in the quiet moments that Rose fell. Finley was the other half of her, her true and tragic soulmate. Her star crossed lover. 

There was a part of her that always knew Finley wouldn’t exist on this Earth forever. There was a sadness and exhaustion that clung so tightly to her love and even when there seemed to be a little light that shined through, it wasn’t enough. 

The day Rose walked into their apartment and found that Finley had taken her life, was as expected as it was a shock. She still doesn’t know how long she clung to Fin’s body, sobbing for her to come back before she finally called for help.

Rose has never been the same. 

The loss completely eviscerated her. There was a gaping hole left in her chest and Rose went down a spiral to rock bottom, trying to fill or numb that hole. 

Rose has never been truly sober since that day 2 years ago and while she has gotten her vices under somewhat of control, she still very much relies on them on a day to day basis. Just enough to numb the hurt that never seems to go away. 

When she arrived in Highland at 1 year ago, Rose was probably at the lowest she had ever been. But trying to keep her promise to Finley, Rose has tried to make the best of things. She landed a job at the Watering Hole and has found a apartment to live in with a roommate.

And though every day is a struggle for her, Rose feels that she’s on the right track to turn her life around. Or at least, pretend to.

Important Facts: - Rose has a lot of emotional and mental issues due to her past. Mostly, she has this abandonment complex and she struggles every day with a heavy sense of worthless. - Has been clean for two and a half years. - She still clings to the party scene, though she now stays away from illicit substances, she has no issue with throwing back a few shots. - Rose hasn’t been in a relationship with anyone in about 2 years and is very happy that way. She doesn’t want to get hurt again. And she isn’t sure she can love again. - Loves animals and often volunteers at the shelter - LOVES cats and wants one but considers herself too unstable to own a pet. - Hasn’t spoken to her parents since she left Atlanta and pretends it doesn’t bother her, but it does. - On her left side, Rose has a tattoo. It’s the quote “without struggle, there is no progress” in cursive writing. - Has lived in Atlanta, Chicago, Nashville, New Orleans, a few other places until she came back to Georgia and settled in Peaches Hollow.

Personality - Rose lives impulsively, acting first and thinking later. - She doesn’t hold back and certainly doesn’t censor herself. Rose is the most straightforward person around and she will tell you how it is, whether it hurts your feelings or not. - Fun is priority in her life. Having grown up so unloved and hidden away in her youth, she is desperately trying to fill that gap in her life. She will jump from club to club, party to party, a shot of tequila in her hands always. Mostly, she is afraid that if she stops, allows herself to feel, every heartache she has ever felt will coming rushing at her. - Attachments are a no go for her, especially romantic ones. She’s fine with hook-ups, in fact she rather enjoys them, but once she or her partner start to develop feelings, she flees. If you don’t let anyone close, you can never be hurt. - Losing Finley broke something inside of Rose and she’s very keen on not giving that part of herself way. She doesn’t know if she can love again or if she has any to give. Most of the time, however, Rose tends to develop friendships with her partners. She’s pretty laid back and goes with the flow which makes everything easier. - Rose is super protective of those she considers close to her and will do almost anything for them. - Once you get past her wit and sass, Rose is the sweetest person you would ever meet, even if she’s rough around the edges. But good luck getting her to open emotionally.

( alex wolff. twenty-three. he/him. ) i think i just saw LINCOLN ROCKWOOD ride by on a golf cart . at least i think it was them . after all , OUTSKIRTS OF PARADISE BY BAD SUNS was blasting on the transistor radio . maybe they were on their way to work , i hear they’re a BALL PERSON FOR THE GOLF COURSE . but they totally could have been on their way to GET HIGH IN THE PARKING LOT ON BREAK . guess we’ll never know . you’ll definitely know its them when you see DIRTY LAUNDRY ON AN UNMADE BED, TANGLED KNOTS OF HEADPHONES, AND CELL PHONES FALLING OUT OF POCKETS around the country club . let’s just hope they stay off the green after hours or else the sprinklers will get them !

BIOGRAPHY

it’s safe to say that lincoln had fallen victim to the classic case of middle child syndrome. his family ( mainly his aunts and uncles ) often mentioning that he was the forgotten child during his elementary days, passing it off as a joke at reunion barbecues — though even he remembered getting lost in department stores where a clerk had to call for his parents on the overhead so that they could “ come and collect their kid “.

growing up in middle class suburbia was, as link would put it, like a wet, hot american summer. there were more cul-de-sacs than soccer mom minivans and more starbucks on every corner than there were fake tanning salons at the mall. the normal “ avoid eye contact with everybody “ as he passed people on the street always pairing well with the quick turn of the heel whenever he noticed one of his mom’s friends walking toward him, never mind them waving hello.

he was frequently trusted with his own devices while his younger sister had dance and piano lessons, and his older brother had practice for whatever sport was in season. all because link’s lack of hand-eye coordination wound him up with a concussion and a broken nose the one time his parents thought it’d be a good idea to sign him up for soccer — in short, instead of picking up another extracurricular, link made his dent on the living room couch. getting lost in old VHS tapes and blueray DVDs.

his love for film and anything pop culture only escalated as he got older, resulting in him being the funny guy who quoted too many movie references in what would otherwise be a normal conversation. sarcasm and dry wit etching themselves onto his tongue, dramatizing his character. allowing him to finally stand out from the rest, despite the eye rolls and facepalms he’d usually receive once he opened his mouth.

link relied on his comedic timing, having been labeled the “ forgotten one “ or the “ guy lacking ambition “ for long enough. almost going out of his way to break out of the cookie cutter mold he grew up in, never shying away from explaining the toxicity of football fanatics to his uncles or bringing up liberal comments in otherwise conservative settings. twisting his phrases comically, albeit a little condescendingly.

not that he tried to be the smartest one in the room. but he did have the tendency to throw in his two cents, most likely when it wasn’t warranted.

soon he was off to college where he changed his major four times in his first semester, just going through the motions of a dorm filled life until he eventually stumbled upon his favorite subject : popular culture. thinking the major involved continuous reruns of the bachelor or seinfeld. but thankfully, his mind was blown much further than that.

he was pretty pretentious whenever asked about what he was studying, his high brow mainly stemmed from believing his major was the superior of all majors. however, if asked about what he was going to do with it once he graduated, he’d more often than not veer the conversation in another direction and offer another hit of his joint.

now that he was officially a graduate, he still didn’t know what the heck he wanted to do as a career. shutting his laptop down every time he so much as browsed for jobs for ten minutes straight. always holed up in his room, content with ignoring adult responsibilities as well as his parent’s interrogating questions: how are your savings looking ? did you hear about your brother’s promotion ? ever thought about taking your brother’s advice & applying for a position at the country club ?

and sure, link’s desperate for a way out. but at the same time, he’s comfortable at home and it’s not like he has the right friends to challenge his status quo. instead they let him settle and constantly get high, listening to link talk about moving out one day, but never actively holding him to that.

catch lincoln collecting golf balls out on the golf course or moseying about the country club avoiding his every day duties. he’s usually got tangled headphones in with a joint tucked between his lips — just don’t tell his mom or dad about the latter part though.

HEADCANONS.

he has a hard time with complete silence, so he’ll be the first to talk in order to keep the momentum alive. though some of his friends think it’s just because he likes hearing the sound of his voice — which one, rude, and two, he just doesn’t deal with uncomfortable situations very well.

let me to you, this boy drops everything. his phone, drinks, full plates of food. he was gifted with butterfingers and has yet to realize that he shouldn’t be responsible for other people’s possessions because more likely than not, he won’t return the thing the way he found it.

he’s like a vacuum. he inhales his food. when he visits family, his mother always reprimands since she thinks he’s not enjoying what’s put on his plate. in reality, though, he has the munchies and just needs to eat all the things.

he wasn’t the greatest student. in fact, sometimes he was plain lazy when it came to doing his homework. but he got good averages and got lucky on tests, so it’s enough to make potential employers happy. or so he hopes.

if you look at his family and you look at link, you’ll wonder if the guy was dropped on his head as a kid because he’s like a black sheep. totally different ideals, can’t catch a ball to save his life, and the last time he tried grilling meat on the grill, he almost burned the backyard down — he’s now only allowed to toss together a salad at family barbecues.

this boy, this child, drinks way too much coffee / energy drinks. which is why his knee is constantly bouncing when he’s seated or he’s always shifting his weight when he’s standing. seriously, someone get him to drink something that’s not bean water. and beer doesn’t count !

name: wesley preston hyland

nickname(s): wes

gender: cis male

sexuality: bisexual, biromantic

birthday: 3:55 am, march 3rd, 1998

zodiac : pisces sun, taurus moon and capricorn rising

height: 6′2″

//::  B A C K G R O U N D

wesley was born to an investor and a fashion journalist in new york city. however, shortly after his birth the couple decided to give their son a more suburban lifestyle and they moved to greenwich, ct.

his childhood was the typical suburban experience and overall, he had a very united family. his little sister arrived when he was three. 

when he was six, his mother enrolled him in swimming lessons and from the start his trainers knew he was a natural and had talent to even try to go pro.

wesley’s childhood and early adolescence had the same routine: school and then practice. however, as he started to grow up, he also began craving being a “normal” teen and being able to go out with his friends and play football at school.

on one side he craved normalcy but on the other side he also craved for olympic glory.

as a student, wes was a good student but far from extraordinary. he did good enough to be on the swimming team. 

 all his work seemed to have paid off when he qualified for the rio olympics. to add to his success, he obtained a full scholarship to stanford to swim for their team.

just two months before the olympics, wesley went out with a few friends to celebrate the birthday of one of his friends. throughout the night he watched how his friends got drunk but he didn’t drink at all. 

tw car accident at around 3am, wesley decided to give a ride home to one of his drunk friends. a very careful driver, wes expected to be home in 45 minutes but that didn’t happen. he took his eyes off the road for two seconds to lower the volume and next thing he knew they were about to crash into another car. to avoid a collision, he had to swerve out of the way and encroach on the slope by the road, but unfortunately, the car toppled over and there he was stuck beneath it.

tw death he regained consciousness back in the hospital, he had a broken arm and a broken leg but the biggest hit of it all was that the friend he was with had passed away.

the grieving parents sued wesley, but the case didn’t really go too far as he proved that he wasn’t under the influence and that the accident hadn’t been caused by negligence. 

his life changed drastically after that. he missed the olympics and pretty much spent most of his days in his room, playing video games and reading.

he lost his scholarship to stanford as he couldn’t swim competitively anymore.

after two years of physical and mental therapy, wesley started to taking back control of his life. he applied for university in new york and was accepted into fordham university where he studies sports journalism

he also took a part time job at highlands country club as a pool cleaner. even if he doesn’t need the money, wesley has always liked being financially independent.

//::  T I D B I T S

he hasn’t really swam competitively since the accident. in a way, he’s afraid of failure and not having the same form as before. 

big sports fan. his dad used to take him to every yankees game. he’s a ny knicks, ny yankees, ny rangers and ny giants are his favorite teams.

he actually can speak german, his mother is german and in order to communicate to his grandparents he had to learn. they used to spend the summers in hamburg.

he grew up wealthy, his father works for goldman sachs but he’s actually very humble about it and doesn’t mention it. (typical boy who says “i’m not rich, my parents are rich.” 

his mom worked for several years writing for vogue and she currently writes for vanity fair. he loves fashion, and he has very good and trendy style. if anything, his wealth is shown through his clothes.

full name: michelle diana mckinney nicknames:  shelly, shell, meesh, mckinney age:  twenty four  dob:  december 3, 1996 gender: cis woman pronouns: she / her   orientation: bisexual   zodiac: sagittarius sun, aquarius moon, leo rising alignment: chaotic good  tobacco / drugs / alcohol: used to / yes /  yes   birthplace: san jose, california languages: english, american sign language family: diana mckinney-hale (mother), elijah barron (father, estranged), malachi ‘mal’ hale (step father), lily hale (younger half sister) character inspo: wynonna earp (wynonna earp), phoebe buffay (friends), heather nill (panic), eleanor shellstrop (the good place), nadine franklin (edge of seventeen), ilana wexler (broad city), louise belcher (bob’s burgers), gretchen cutler (you’re the worst)

BRIEF BACKGROUND 

tw: implied abuse, abandonment, drugs 

originally born in california, shelly was raised by a single mom, diana, when she was a teenager, her father was in and out of her life for the first three years, then dropped off the map 

her mom is a very charming woman, and as such, there were a variety of partners in and out of her mom’s life, they were not all good, they were not all kind, and quite often the fallout of one of these relationships ending meant they had to move and start over, they didn’t have a lot of family or a lot of stuff so it was easy to pack up and relocate

this is how she ended up in new york! 

shelly was a bit of a latchkey kid, diana worked often to make ends meet, so shelly often had to fight for herself or often found trouble with the few others her age in their apartment complex 

she’s always been a bit outspoken, a bit rebellious, a bit disappointing, but once she hit her teens, she was really beginning to act out -- she learned how to sneak out, fell into the skater crowd, was usually getting stoned with her core group or learning tricks at the skate park 

also had a plethora of odd jobs to help out around the house, although she was not a very good employee! 

she did not excel in school, it’s not that she isn’t smart, but she had difficulty focusing or motivating herself, and it wasn’t like she had many people in her corner, she nearly flunked out but scraped by the skin of her teeth

her mom eventually marries, to an actual nice guy this time, and they end up having another child, shelly’s half sister, lily, who shelly absolutely adores, she’s nearly four now! she was born mostly deaf, so shelly picked up asl as lil grows, she’s probably her best friend

she doesn’t end up going to college, she doesn’t really know what she wants to do and honestly? she’s surprised she’s gotten this far at all, kind of a slacker, kind of a nihilist, kind of immature but also ?? strangely clever, has potential 

after a fight to end all fights with her mom, however, shelly moves out at 18, into a shitty apartment complex with a few people

she started working at highlands country club when she was 22, after she had quit her job at the smoothie place she was working previously, a friend of a friend let her use them as a reference and lifeguarding is something she’s done before 

usually good at her job but admittedly slacks off, kind of has disdain for rich people but is a favorite among their bored children

EXTRAS

kind of has shit luck, but shelly is a pretty upbeat person! she’s kind of a goofball and has a habit of using humor to buffer things, but it can be frustrating at times because it feels like she doesn’t take things entirely seriously, that being said, she’s incredibly loyal, despite having been burned many times, and is very protective of the people she loves and cares about, sort of likes acting out bc she’s a bit lonely?? mayb it’s a cry for help 

noncommittal usually, never rly allowed herself like a real relationship??, kind of shuts down if she has real feelings because she doesn’t really think it will end well

owns a station wagon from the 1990s, affectionately nicknamed garbage pail, it’s covered in absurd bumper stickers and knick knacks, she likes to hotbox it and sleep in it, if she’s not driving, she’s probably skating 

loves the ocean, loves water, usually living in bathing suits whenever she can even beyond work, one of her earliest memories is watching the sunrise with her mom on a beach in california 

likes pranks obvs, likes playing games and keeping the party going, likes creating different drinking games and such 

has one tattoo and she got it on a dare and she won’t tell you what it is unless you find it

stops to pet every dog she sees on the street ?? she wants a dog ??

cannot! sit! still! but usually fidgets with one of her many necklaces when she’s trying to work, would maybe give you the shirt off her back but also maybe steal it again? 

has gone through so many jobs, some she’s quit, some she’s fired, the country club is probably one of the longest ones

doesn’t really have a filter, which is why she is not working in guest relations<3

CONNECTION IDEAS

anything in my bleak wanted tag. 

prank war rival: pretty obvious, they’re engaged in the battle of the wits while pushing the envelope at their fancy country club jobs, do they almost get caught? does it escalate? oOoOoOo

partner in crime: she gets up to some dumb shit someone join her!!! also probably her bestie

roommate(s?): she does live in a shitty apartment it was cheap she is broke<3 give me movie nights give me fam dinners give me co-parents of a fish give me arguments about laundry<3 

exes: she has never had a serious relationship, kind of cynical about it all, but she’s had flings she probably awkwardly avoids or maybe they’re fighting still!

kindred spirits: they just fit together like two puzzle pieces, not necessarily romantic but it feels like they’ve known each other in a past life! maybe they spoon, maybe they hated each other at first 

girl squad: or nonbinary muses! only rule is no boys allowed, ride or die girl gang, sleepovers and shit, they have a group chat where they probably talk about weird members<3

let’s self destruct: she wants to paint the town red sometimes because she doesn’t know how to process her feelings, she probably needs therapy but shrooms sound better

lowkey in love: maybe they can’t be together for some reason! maybe it started as something casual but it got deeper and now neither don’t know what to do with it!

enemies: she’s definitely not everybody’s cup of tea, hence this is just people who probably want to tell shelly to shut up! maybe it turns the other foot and they end up bonding, maybe it just gets really tense and weird 

skate buddies: skate or die, bitches! she always has her board on her so if any other skaters are out there, she is in love with u 

blast from the past: shelly has lived a lot of places before new york, so if your muse is from somewhere else, perhaps they met then! and maybe they had a fling or a bond and thought they’d never see each other again and surprise! she’s growing on you like a fungus

work crush: honestly? prob gets silly crushes and then acts like a total fool in front of them, i just think it would be funny, unrequited pining and all, alternatively, they have a crush on her and she’s just completely oblivious 

voice of reason: or the good influence, someone who sort of tries to warn shelly when her schemes get too elaborate and risky 

this one may be a wc on the main but a half sibling: her dad highkey just left and started a new family p much so !! i don’t think she’d know about them which i think would be. very fun 

+ literally anything and everything!!! friends, acquaintances, maybe shell stole ur smoothie once and now u r mortal enemies, hookups/fwbs?? enemies with benefits??, maybe they’re smoke buddies and they hotbox her car on break, let’s just throw things together and see what sticks ?? 

[shaycon]

( braeden lemasters. twenty-three. he/him. ) i think i just saw SEAMUS “SHAY” CONNELLY  ride by on a golf cart . at least i think it was them . after all , OFF MY MIND BY JOE P was blasting on the transistor radio . maybe they were on their way to work , i hear they’re a SERVER hey totally could have been on their way to DRIVE AROUND AIMLESSLY AND LISTEN TO MUSIC WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN . guess we’ll never know . you’ll definitely know its them when you see WORN SNEAKERS WITH THE SOLES PEELING, SNEAKY SIPS OF ALCOHOL WHILE WORKING, and A SMILE THAT TOUCHES YOUR EYES around the country club . let’s just hope they stay off the green after hours or else the sprinklers will get them ! 

hi friends ! you can call me wren — i’m in the est timezone, i recently developed a crush on dominic fike, i have two dogs that i love more than anything, i’m a massive dork that does the nyt daily mini crossword and plays this stupid ass interior decorating game literally every day, i love pineapple fried rice an absurd amount, and in general i’m hype to bring my boi shay to ya ! he’s brand new so pls bear with me as i develop him more but here’s a bit about him:

shay grew up as the perpetual middle child— he assumed the role of mediator early on to ease the tensions of growing up in a family of six ( including his parents ), with a dad that worked more than he saw his own children and a mother that hoarded so much that it was difficult to walk around the house

he’s used to being the comedic relief and ever since he was little, shay is desperate to make people around him comfortable and happy

he’s got a bunch of sisters so it’s no wonder he’s lowkey a soft boi

living at home wasn’t healthy for him so needless to say, shay moved out and gained independence pretty early; it was perfect timing, since his then longterm girlfriend ( enter: miss cassia crocetti ) was also interested in moving out

their relationship was quite Toxic— cassia was jealous, and shay was the perfect amount of oblivious. after an incident ( to put it lightly ), shay pretty much ghosted her because homeboy doesn’t know how to deal with serious situations

( alcoholism and drug use tw ) oddly enough ( and ironically ), shay was probably much better off in the years he was dating cassia than he is now. sure, he’s not in that unhealthy situation anymore but he’s slipped— he drinks. a Lot. like probably has woken up on the golf course or some shit. he dabbles in some party drugs and weed too. 

( depression tw ) shay definitely has been dealing with undiagnosed depression for a while, too. it comes in waves but they’re silent— there are days where he can’t leave his bed. there are times when he starts to show signs of hoarding and doesn’t clean his place. but the best part is that he hides it !! sometimes he just dips for a while and comes back like nothing’s wrong !! the type to cry in his car but walk into work singing and dancing to make people happy ! he said i will suffer in silence thank you !!

he’s generally very directionless and sometimes idk how he makes it through life

like he’s always running late. to the point that you should just expect it ? and yet this man has not lost his job ? Hm

i really said: here’s all the reasons why shay lowkey sucks

but really this boy is what some would classify as a golden retriever. absolutely the person you want to be around and the person you want to see at a party

he can be kind of a flirt but truly he’s a little Dumb he doesn’t realize he’s flirting/being flirted with so he really works best with people that are direct about their intentions

if i haven’t made it clear he has a very bubbly, happy personality ! truly just a sad boy that has learned how to convince people he’s fine

he remembers things about people !! like will he remember to text you back ? maybe not but he will remember your coffee order

he’s a very enthusiastic music listener. like freaks out when he likes a song and will belt the lyrics while driving around 

he loves his stupid shitty honda

think baby driver with the way he can’t drive until he has the perfect song playing; yes this has made him late on multiple occasions

probably owns a guitar but never learned more than like two songs

he’s very Open Minded. take that as you will <3

the boy can make friends with a wall

def not much of a relationship guy... he might have some fuckboy tendencies. like he’s not above sending 2am texts ( typically drunk ) or leaving early in the morning without saying anything to the other person. class act !!

generally he just tends to fuck up his relationships bc he’s got some Trauma he hasn’t worked through but like who has time for that !!

ok i think i’ve said enough god i do not shut up ! wait here are some shay energy tiktoks

he absolutely doesn’t use dating apps and this is exactly why

shay in serious situations :) 

shay irish exiting but it’s probably because he wanders when he’s drunk xoxo

this is just him being drunk and the center of attention at parties i promise his voice isn’t as good as andrew garfield’s

anyway i love developing plots so much so if that’s your vibe, hit me up and i would be so happy to figure something out !

[hghlndsbrtndr]

i think i just saw JOEL LEWIS ride by on a golf cart . at least i think it was them . after all , TURN THE PAGE BY METALLICA was blasting on the transistor radio . maybe they were on their way to work , i hear they’re a BARTENDER . but they totally could have been on their way to POP WHEELIES IN THE PARKING LOT . guess we’ll never know . you’ll definitely know its them when you see BROKEN COMBS , CONCERT TICKETS FROM THE 2000s & GUARDIAN BELLS around the country club . let’s just hope they stay off the green after hours or else the sprinklers will get them !

joel lived the first 18 years of his life in the uk. he decided he wanted something else after high school so he left home to travel the world. 

his accent isn’t as strong as it used to be but it’s still there.

he is a music guy, specifically rock, more specifically 90s rock --- his ‘plan’ was always to be a lead guitarist for a band. he created said band with some friends and they played a few shows, but never hit it off.

he’s a killer guitarist, though.

in fact, he’s talented at most things he puts effort into. he just doesn’t put a lot of effort in. he isn’t lazy, it’s more like he doesn’t see the point.

he never planned on settling in america until he fell in love.

when he met his ex, he fell hard. she was everything he never knew he wanted. they were together for years. he’d bought a ring and everything. gave up on all of his dreams because she was all he wanted. then she decided it was too much for her.

he’s still not sure the real reason she left him.

when they split up, his life crumbled. he’d always found relationships a little silly and pointless and then he was heartbroken and cynical and all of the dramatic lyrics made sense.

he planned on skipping town again, running away was always a way to solve the problem, right? until he got the phone call. she was having his child.

she couldn’t bring herself to terminate the pregnancy, but she didn’t want to be a mother. he didn’t know if he wanted to be a single father, but he couldn’t let the kid go up for adoption, not when he was capable of raising it. so he made the decision.

getting full custody of his daughter was the best thing he ever did. sophie had him wrapped around her finger from the moment she took her first breath.

she’s six now, and his life revolves around her.

he likes taking risks, likes living on the edge, he doesn’t see the point if there’s not adrenaline pumping. he wants to have fun. but he has to be careful because he knows he’s all that she has.

he takes his job seriously. he thinks that bartending is an art and it’s disappointing anytime someone asks for something simple.

hypocrite, his favorite drink is scotch on the rocks.

he is not a morning person.

most evenings after work you’ll find him riding his motorcycle over ramps with friendship bracelets hanging from the handles and ‘i love daddy’ written in the dust underneath the seat.

[xomsellie]

i think i just saw ELENORE CUNNINGHAM ride by on a golf cart . at least i think it was them . after all , STRAWBERRY WINE by DEANA CARTER was blasting on the transistor radio . maybe they were on their way to work , i hear they’re a COCKTAIL WAITRESS . but they totally could have been on their way to ADMIRE THE GARDEN . guess we’ll never know . you’ll definitely know its them when you see HALF EATEN PEACHES , HOMEMADE FLOWER CROWS & ROMANCE NOVELS around the country club . let’s just hope they stay off the green after hours or else the sprinklers will get them !

ellie is a country girl through and through.

her father died in an accident when she was two, so she’s been raised by a single mother for almost all of the years she can remember.

she grew up on a farm in georgia. they never planned on leaving until her mother fell ill. they found a specialist in new york and had to sell the property to afford it.

i wouldn’t say she’s immature but she’s childish. she’s so easy to make laugh and she is fairly naïve -- she spent more of her time playing with calves in the field than interacting with other kids and teenagers her age, so a lot of average humor is lost on her. i can almost promise you if you make a sex joke, flirt with her or use slang for getting high she ain’t gonna get it.

she loves flowers!

she loves loves loves dogs!

she’s in love with the idea of love too!

it’s safe to assume she just loves everything! she has the purest soul. she’s sunshine embodied in a human and if you see her mad you better run because in two decades she’s never truly been mad.

v sensitive. she likes to think she’s strong, but she’s more physically strong from all the hard work than she is emotionally strong. she just wants to be loved. she doesn’t like conflict. it makes her so sad to see other people hurting.

she enjoys reading, mostly romance novels.

if she decides that she likes you you’re kind of stuck with her, even if you don’t want to be. you have to be blunt, straight up say ‘ellie, i do not want to be your friend’ or she will not get the memo. tbh? even then she might not.

if you wanna make her happy just give her fruit.

if you wanna make her really happy, give her a peach.

she is not very easily scared. she likes storms, spiders, bugs, heights don’t bother her. to be so sensitive, most of the common things that people are worried about she won’t bat an eye at.

sometimes she feels very overwhelmed and out of place with this town. everything is so different than what she’s known.

she actually enjoys her job. being a waitress is a new challenge and even though some customers may be rude or too drunk the good make up for it.

she’s a very social person. loves people. loves talking to them.

she’s a bit of a goody two shoes. it isn’t intentional. she doesn’t want to disappoint anyone or make their life harder, so she feels really bad when someone gets mad at her or she can’t do what they want.

she’s a fairly confident person, comfortable in her own skin, doesn’t want to change anything about herself, embraces her flaws while working to be better.

elenore’s dream is to work hard, save up and buy back the farm she was meant to inherent from her parents. she just really wants her mama to get better, to eventually have her own little family, and everyone she loves to be happy, and it would be perfect if she could raise her future children the same place she grew up.

( emre bey. twenty-three. he/him. ) i think i just saw EMIR KUBILAY ride by on a golf cart . at least i think it was them . after all , MODERN MAN BY ARCADE FIRE was blasting on the transistor radio . maybe they were on their way to work , i hear they’re a GOLF INSTRUCTOR . but they totally could have been on their way to TRY AND GET A FREE DRINK AT THE BAR  . guess we’ll never know . you’ll definitely know its them when you see MESSAGES LEFT ON READ, EXPENSIVE COLOGNE, POORLY TIMED LAUGHTER around the country club . let’s just hope they stay off the green after hours or else the sprinklers will get them ! 

//::  T H E   B A S I C S

name: emir halit kubilay

nickname(s): n/a

gender: cis male

sexuality: bisexual, biromantic

birthday: 7:36 pm, may 25th, 1998

zodiac : gemini sun, gemini moon and scorpio rising

height: 5′10″

//::  B A C K G R O U N D

born in ankara, turkey. he’s the second child of a famous journalist and an art curator. 

his father was a very famous and important journalist who worked for several newspapers as well as a news anchor for the BBC world news, wrote for the NYT and reported for Reuters, his work was the main reason why emir spent some time in different parts of the world.

tw alcoholism regardless of how genius and loved his father was, emir actually loathed him. he was never too present in their lives, and not really because of work but mostly because he spent his free time getting wasted (he was very good to conceal his problem that only his family knew about his alcoholism) and when he did spend time with his family he was a major dick

from a young age, emir decided he loved words but especially he loved learning languages. by the age of ten he already could speak fluent spanish, french and english, on top of his native turkish.

disliked school and in a way, he still does as he is mostly self-taught but since she began studying what he likes, he is not so negative about it anymore

started playing golf when he was four and the sport is one of the few good memories he has with his dad. became a pro golfer when he was seventeen and competed in some major tournaments but by the time he was twenty-one he was done with it. it was short career plagued with injuries, he simply wasn’t at his best.

moved to istanbul where he worked as an intern for his father’s network which he hated sooooo much. so a year ago he applied for universities in the us and was accepted into NYU and he’s currently studying linguistics.

tw illness and death: days before he traveled to the us, his father was diagnosed with end-stage liver disease brought on because of alcohol but he pulled through after he spent some months in rehab (which the people outside his family never found out).

tw illness and death however, once out of the center, he continued to drink non-stop and his health only worsened and passed away six months ago.

upon his return after the funeral, emir found a job at highlands as a golf instructor. 

tw alcoholism hates to talk about his father, and hates, even more, when people approach him to tell him what a great man he was. his biggest secret is that ever since the death of his father he had found comfort in alcohol and is starting to develop into a bigger problem

personality-wise, he is the kind of guy who loves talking and loves learning new things out of conversations, he can be either the most starry-eyed idealist or the bitterest of cynics. he can often be considered self-absorb but he would never look down upon others. he can be very sarcastic and sometimes his humor is misunderstood. he enjoys a good party.

//::  T I D B I T S

very booksmart but very dumb when it comes to street-smart.

he was actually signed with nike and did major promotion in turkey.

emir speaks as of now 6 languages: turkish, french, spanish, english, russian and german. he’s learning japanese. 

loves dogs and he’s the kind of guy who stops to pet dogs

his minor is art history. he grew up in museums with his mother and he developed a love for art. 

he doesn’t know how to drive

5. She is currently working as a Event Planner…

♦ Despite having an IT major, Andie  fell in love with event planning and found she was actually really good at it. She was working in a top tier event planning company in New York City - solely because her parents had the right connections - but when her dad’s health began to decline, Andie decided to move closer to home and take a job that still let her do what she loved but wasn’t as demanding as NYLUX. Working for Highland Country Club provided her both.

6.  The Morales family is very close…

♦ At least until Andrea chose to partake of Married At First Sight 2 years ago.  Layla, her mother and Karla could not support such a wild decision.

8. Random Facts from Andrea…

Andie is very well aware of what it is like to live in poverty. Her father and mother worked very hard in life and were able to build a successful life for themselves. Her father created his own construction business while her mother developed a business flipping houses. Together, they made a pretty amazing team. This afforded Andie a pretty well life later on.   ♦ Her family raised her as a devote Christian and she still practices her faith. It’s a major part of who she is and what she does in life...most of the time.  ♦ At 23, Married At First Sight came to New York City and Andie took a chance. She was casted onto the show and was married. Her married was great for the first year but then slowly broke apart and the couple was divorced a year and half after the show. She hasn’t dated anyone seriously since then and isn’t sure she ever wants to. ♦ She’s very motivated and dedicated to work. ♦ Andie is a wild child inside and loves to have a good time. She may make it seem like she has everything together, but she doesn’t. ♦ She’s a yoga and kickboxing enthusiast. ♦ Andie knows how to play the piano and loves to paint. ♦ She’s not very good at painting but it’s a hobby that brings her joy and you will often find her outside painting.  ♦ Owns a 6 month old kitten named Chiquis ♦ Favorite Artist is Selena - the Mexican singer, not the one from Disney She is fluent in ASL, English, Spanish and Portuguese. Currently learning German

9. Wanted Connections

ooc info

hello, my name is ana (she/her) from gmt+1! i’m on summer break so expect me to be as active as i can!!!! also please bear with me because thiago is a new muse, so i’m still figuring him out which is why this intro might be a mess. so if you’d like to plot please hit me up

01. stats

NAME: thiago martim borges madeira

GENDER: cis male

PLACE OF BIRTH: belo horizonte, brazil

DATE OF BIRTH: february 1, 1997

AGE: twenty-four

SEXUAL ORIENTATION: bisexual

OCCUPATION: caddy

02. quick bio

born in belo horizonte, brazil; thiago lived a somewhat comfortable life. his father was a very good surgeon and his mother worked in marketing. 

being an only child, it shouldn’t be a surprised that he was very spoiled and as he grew older his attitude showed the consequences of never denying him anything.

thiago never had a plan in mind. whenever people asked him about his future he would say that he “would worry about that later” but later never came.

by his senior year of high school, thiago was doing everything but worrying about post graduation. he was out there throwing parties, or going to parties, skipping important classes to go and have fun with people he had just met. 

tw drugs & alcohol: for most of his adolescence, thiago was either drunk or stoned. his parents knew but they pretty much said “i pretend i do not see it” and did nothing to make something out of their kid.

by some miracle he managed to graduate (that miracle being his dad paying for his diploma pretty much). 

just a few weeks after his graduation, his father was offered a position in a hospital in ohio and the family left brazil for cleveland. 

thiago absolutely hateeeeed cleveland. he thought it was the most boring place on earth and he wondered why of all the cities in the country, his father had chosen this one?

because of the move, he didn’t have time to apply for a university in the us (not like he was planning attending university at all) so in order to teach his son a lesson, he made him find a job.

in a span of a year, thiago had 15 jobs because for one or another reason he kept getting fired. he was reckless, rude, irresponsible or arrived at work drunk or high.

sick of it, his father threatened him to cut him off if this behavior continued and pretty much forced him to apply to college.

to everyone’s surprised he was admitted into chapman university where he chose studying communication and journalism because it sounded “easy”

loyal to his old ways, thiago didn’t change and pretty much just pretended to attend classes and he even forged his grades to show his dad that he was reformed man

the whole ruse lasted for almost four years (two of which he hadn’t been enrolled in school and he spent the money his parents’ sent to him in parties, drugs and alcohol). 

but graduation was upon him and there was no way he could keep lying and while he was planning an elaborated ploy to make his parents believe he had graduated, they stopped by to surprise him

however, they took the surprise to find out their son had been lying.

thiago and his dad got into a big fight and he cut him off. however, his mom still to this day sends him an allowance every month.

he moved to new york six months ago and got a part time job at highlands as a caddy four months ago. surprisingly, he’s been able to keep it. 

03. headcanons

he’s an experienced golfer. used to go and golf with his dad every weekend which is why the job as a caddy seems to suit him perfectly.

thiago can play the piano and before he was training to become a classic pianist but that stopped when he turned 13 and now he only plays as a party trick.

probably has read 3 books in his life and he hates subtitles in movies

lives in a one bedroom apartment in brooklyn which is way too expensive for what it is

he once got arrested in ibiza

thiago is extremely afraid of cats. his grandmother had a cat when he was younger who scratched him and left a mark on the right side of his forehead. since then he’s terrified of cats.

04. personality

okay i suck at writing personalities so have this poor bullet list

not the smartest but hey at least he’s cute 

very flirty like sometimes i wonder “boy, do you even have some general knowledge?” probably nope

simple-minded, like anything too deep and complex will just make his last two brain cells collapse. 

has really good people skills which is why he gets very good tips.

allergic to plans. pretty much the human embodiment of yolo 

doesn’t care about following the rules, nothing can come between him and his self-indulgence

it’s hard to really form a deep bond with him but if you get through the layers, he is a loyal friend.

ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑑 𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑜𝑛𝑠 : self proclaimed narcissist but is super self aware about his insecurities , is a whore lol , seems like he’d be the least judgmental person but is secretly super judgmental , will risk it all for a sexual connection possibly resulting in a romantic one , hasn’t cried in years , female manipulator music , thinks being called a theatre kid is a slur but was super well known for getting every lead role in high school and college , wants to be a stand up comedian or actor , could kill for a woman to braid his hair , will do anything for attention , noncommittal , the loudest person in a room but is insecure about his volume , the class clown , could be your friend for a lifetime and you still wouldn’t be sure if he likes you or not . 

𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑐𝑙𝑎𝑖𝑚 :  booboo stewart  .  ℎ𝑎𝑖𝑟 𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑜𝑟 :  black  .  𝑒𝑦𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑜𝑟 :  brown  .  ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 :  5  ft  8 “  .  𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑜𝑜𝑠 :  to be determined but a littered , jumbled sleeve of meaningless drunk tattoos mostly .   𝑐𝑙𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑠𝑡𝑦𝑙𝑒 :  heavy punk rock . jean jackets plastered with patches , heavy boots , flannels tied at the waist line . heavy rings on slender fingers . a hair tie on each wrist . jeans or chef pants , no in between . fucks with an occasional open button down tee . 

𝑚𝑦𝑒𝑟 - 𝑏𝑟𝑖𝑔𝑔𝑠 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑡𝑦𝑝𝑒 :  the  debater  ,  entp  .   𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑎𝑙  𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑔𝑛𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡  :  chaotic  good  .  𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒𝑠 :  black cold brew with a cigarette , mindlessly rewatching taxi driver for comfort , quoting the sopranos , being right , comfortable silence , busy environments , making others smile .  𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒𝑠 :  gossip , commitment , the transition from autumn to winter , cats , folding laundry , hungover anxiety.  

𝑏𝑎𝑐𝑘𝑔𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑 : ( drug tw , child neglect tw ) . 

the class clown , the smart ass . these are just two of the labels that have been placed on calvin maxfield his whole life . he’s not even sure if he likes being called them , to know he’s being perceived by others is to know he’s truly alive . that he is seen . on one hand , he’d only ever wanted a disappearing act . one where he slips into the background with anyone truly noticing . a universe where he’s not putting on a face of clown make up to entertain . but on the other hand , he’s good at it . he’s good at entertaining and he likes seeing people smile . so why does calvin have so many qualms with being well liked ? it’s the expectations . an expectation to always be happy . no bad days , no turning off the constant sunshine smile . even if his mind is a storm far greater than he can conquer . 

there’s nothing more freudian than blaming your short comings on your childhood . at least that’s what calvin will tell you anyways . but deep down , he knows it’s a mask . that his childhood fucked him up more than he has even begun to process . his therapist pries but he pays her no mind , wishing to be considered more of a strong silent type than one who speaks with loose lips . but his tendencies to make others happy lie within his greatest coping mechanism with is humor . one he developed during his childhood watching movies far too mature for his underdeveloped mind . robert dinero , al pacino , so many tough men who taught him how to be strong in the face of adversities . movie stars were his role models because dad was always too high to entertain the thought of his son , shooting up the day’s dose in front of him while the bills piled high on the kitchen table . calvin’s mother wondered if she’d ever see a day where the world wasn’t so bleak , where she could protect her son from the horrors of the world . but she couldn’t even protect him from the one inside her very home . not to mention it was hard to supervise when working more jobs than seemed possible . 

but calvin grew up with thick skin and a cut throat attitude . he slept soundly knowing that his mother loved him and one day his father would see him succeed and kick himself in the ass for mistreating him . but calvin’s brilliance was never a revenge thing . he owed it to himself to be good at something . that something just so happened to be theatre . it was clear to the teachers that had maxxie the class clown sitting in their back row that he liked to perform so his drama teacher came an pursued him . at first hesitant , he remembered some of the greats . al , robert , and suddenly he was in . though he insisted on not being musically inclined , calvin quickly blossomed in the musicals and found his voice through his high school’s productions . he was finally receiving the validation he was deprived of his entire childhood . standing ovations , applause , genuine eye contact that came with compliments , loving hugs . he couldn’t get enough . so it only made sense that he pursued musical theatre in college . 

college was when things took a turn for the worst . a slacker , calvin could no long get away with thing solely because his teachers liked him and enjoyed his performances . now everyone was just like him . a talented class clown who thrived on applause and validation from others . bad habits crept their way into his life at this time seeing as he was drinking and experimenting with drugs pretty heavily . what was a career for everyone else was quickly turning into a hobby for him as his poor coping mechanisms and social life hopped in the driver’s seat . this life in his life was all about self sabotage . missing classes to drink , going to acting workshops hungover , sleeping with friend’s girlfriends , doing things just because he could . it was mind blowing that he ever received a degree . but with college coming to an end , he addressed that his period of time with substance abuse were some of the worst years of his life and he wanted to tone back . focus on himself . but old habits die hard . 

calvin doesn’t really know how he ended up in the highlands . maybe it was his lack of drive or washed up attitude , but it hard to give his life any real thought from behind the line in the kitchen. all he knows is he needs to get the fuck out .
