tw: mental illness & suicide, abuse implied.

rosemary  — rosie, as most people tend to call her  — grew up in hope as the youngest with three older brothers. their parents separated when they were around seven years old, and a lot of their childhood was spent going back & forth between her parents’ houses. eventually, rosie’s dad moved away because he remarried a new family. so technically, they have a couple half-sisters but don’t consider them much of anything.

her mom was a musician, a struggling one, but rosie always admired her nonetheless. they remember going to shows at tiny, sometimes empty, venues with their siblings  — though rosie’s mom looks back on them with a bit of sadness, those are some of rosie’s favorite memories. naturally, they also started playing instruments at a super young age and hasn’t looked back ever since ! can play all sorts of instruments, and it’s a super random list :-)

due to their mom’s profession & their dad taking himself out of the picture, their family always struggled with money. their mom tended to live with her head in the clouds a bit, focused more on pouring herself into her music than her four kids

at a young age, rosie was diagnosed with anxiety & eventually severe depression, and they couldn’t tell you a time when their life wasn’t affected by mental illness. to make matters worse, with their mother always pre-occupied with something and their brothers desperate for any form of attention from her, and jealous when it went anywhere else ( namely, rosie ), rosie’s siblings took it out on them. essentially, they grew up as a punching bag & object of amusement for their siblings

they weren’t the most outgoing, or the best at asking for help. at school, they usually just kept her head down and got through the day. rosie attempted suicide at the age of fifteen, which, as you can imagine, really fucked them up long-term. they stopped going to school for a while, social circle dwindled in size, struggled to find motivation to do much of anything

by the time they were graduating, rosie had no idea what they wanted to do, but knew that they desperately needed to be somewhere else. on a whim and full of doubts, rosie applied for a small college in washington state, and got in to study creative writing. after their first year, they dropped out

they stayed out there for a couple years longer, never telling their family abt how they dropped out ... instead rosie attempted to focus more on music, playing random small gigs, filling in for bands here and there, while also working as well. rosie’s desire to become a musician full time only became re-affirmed - they now knew what they wanted to do, it was just a matter of how to get there

rosie eventually joined a band, and somehow they actually gained some traction. the band went on tours, and were on track for their Big Break. after a couple of years, due to a lot of conflict within the band, it all fell apart. 

after that, rosemary moved back to hope ! they’ve been back for three years now, hopping from job to job, never very good at committing to anything, sort of just accepting that this is their lot in life. they still make music on their own & do tiny shows, but it’s really more of a pipe dream now.

at a glance —

milo is quick-tempered and unpleasant to be around when upset, but is generally just a gregarious, wild guy who likes to do his own thing. he’s stubborn, but as a result fiercely loyal if you can win him over to your side. he readily shows his emotions and is absolutely awful at keeping secrets. 

in short —

milo is the p.e. teacher and football coach at alexander james high school, where he has brought the team to playoffs for the past four years. he is well-liked by the students, who consider him one of the “cool” teachers — however, in his personal life, he can be a bit erratic and unpleasant to be around. 

historically —

mawuli yeboah grew up on long island, ny to ghanaian immigrants, taking up the anglicized ‘milo’ when he started the first grade. intelligent, athletic, and social, milo was the apple of his mother’s eye growing up and always popular in school. he was recruited to play football at ohio state; however, a serious knee injury during his junior year prevented his from going pro and he dropped out of school when he’s 21. he moves out to hope after finding an open position for a p.e. teacher position. having always wanted to see alaska, milo moves to hope.

ii. backstory

tw: brief mentions of death

as the youngest and only daughter of the infamous nicolas park, victoria park never had to want for much as a child. she was far too young to remember a time before the glittering, silver spoon in her cheek, the days when her father had to work two jobs just to provide for their little family, or the evenings he spent grinding away at night school. even memories of her mother were few and far between. no, victoria’s earliest memories consisted of causing mayhem with her older ( by a millisecond ) brother on the estate grounds of their childhood home in los angeles and being lovingly doted on by her grandmother and father. 

upon entering school, the stark differences between the park siblings began to manifest themselves. unlike her brother, who seemed to excel in his studies without having to crack open a book, victoria struggled academically ( who cared about calculus when there was twitter ? ), however, she was much more athletically inclined. bouncing back and forth between gymnastic meets, cheerleading tryouts, and dance recitals, victoria’s afternoons were either spent in the gym, on the sidelines, or in the studio. while the eldest preferred to keep to himself, victoria thrived on the attention of others and was quick to amass friends and popularity within her peers. by her junior year, it was almost a guarantee that victoria would-be prom queen and cheer captain her senior year. but the chance never came as tragedy struck. 

when she was fifteen, victoria’s grandmother and the only real “mother-figure” in her life died. the sudden passing of such an integral part of their family shook the parks to their core. in wake of such a devastating loss, victoria was suddenly yanked from the only place she had ever known as her father decided they all needed a change from their fast-paced lives in los angeles, moving them all to the quaint, little town hope, alaska. while her brother was quick to adapt to the sudden move, victoria resisted, feeling betrayed at being forced to leave her life in la behind. 

she couldn’t leave hope fast enough. after graduation, victoria wasted no time in fleeing the biting cold of alaska to the warm familiarity of los angeles for university. but victoria’s first real taste of freedom, short-lived and overshadowed by failure, came crashing around her when she flunked out of her program at ucla only half a semester into her sophomore year. once again dragged back to hope. though he never said as much, victoria could feel her father’s disappointment at her return, living in the shadows of her brother’s success in new york. but, she was anything if not tenacious. while academics had never been her forte, she turned to social media, networking and cultivating a platform online as a beauty influencer and gaining a fair bit of traction. in her spare time, victoria has picked up dancing again, entertaining the possibility of going professional. 

unlike her father, who seems content with the quaint, small-town atmosphere of hope, victoria misses the spontaneity ( and warmth ) of los angeles. but she’s still licking the wounds of her latest failure and is in a state of limbo -- fearful of the future but not quite ready to let go of the past, trying to come to terms with the truth of her mother’s absence and live with her father’s deception.

kat was born and raised in hope , to two people who were born and raised in hope , and so on. pretty much , as long as hope’s been around , the taylor family has been , too. that’s not to say this brings her any privilege ( kat’s just not the type of person to be I’m A Taylor™ ) , just more of a fact.

is a fashion youtuber ( mostly ). she’s usually doing in - depth reviews of brands , but she has the occasional video that’s not fashion related. recently , she’s been thinking about expanding her brand to include makeup and hair but isn’t confident as fashion is what she wants to do with her life.

sells her designs on etsy. it’s primarily casual skirts / dresses but she does do the occasional way-too-elegant for hope , alaska ballgown , too. mostly on commissions ( or , more likely , when she’s trying to not to get rusty between those rare commissions )

between the two , she makes enough to get by. most of her funding comes from her youtube account , though she desperately wishes the opposite were true. while she loves the opportunity yt provides , she’s really waiting for some fashion mogul to swoop in and get her out of hope.

cares a LOT about appearances , like the kind of girl that will leave your dinner date three times in one hour to make sure nothing’s fallen out of place. that’s not to say she can’t get down and dirty , just that she has to trust you completely to do so. her appearance is her battle armor.

kat is an only child to an extremely large family. her father has six siblings and her mother has five , all of which have 3 - 5 children each. kat’s the outlier , not only in her singledom but also in age , a good eight years younger than her closest cousin. she’s the baby and she’s used to being treated as such.

i dunno , i’m gonna try to keep it short & sweet and end it there ! i might add on later , esp if i have kat join an alternate verse :)

    hades  jinhwan    ;    introduction  .

*  summary  .

hades has always been a bit odd and a bit of an ass, and that’s carried over into his life as jeon jinhwan. the resident of hope, so their backstory goes, was born here and never left, inheriting a farm from their parents but choosing to work as a mechanic instead.

key traits  :  pedantic, irritable, accommodating, protective

*  statistics  .

given name  :  hades jinhwan

family name  :  n/a jeon

nickname/s  :  n/a

alias/es  :  n/a

age  :  ??? lots thirty-one

date of birth  :  ??? fifteen may, nineteen ninety

place of birth  :  greece hope

astrological sign  :  n/a taurus

gender  :  n/a  (  agender  )

pronouns  :  they  /  he

orientation  :  ヽ(´ー｀)┌

*  personality  .

positive traits  :  accommodating, protective

negative traits  :  pedantic, irritable

jeon jinhwan is a pain in the ass. pedantic, quick to anger  &  easily frustrated, not to mention difficult to get along with even when you’re being nice. they’ll bend over backwards to accommodate others, but grumble the entire time as if they have a problem with it  —  leading people to wonder why they help if they’re so unwilling. maybe it’s because they grew up on a farm, spent more time around chickens than people  ;  or maybe it’s part of hades’ own personality shining through into this new life. after all, the god has never been people’s favourite. if he were, there wouldn’t be so many stories with him as the villain.

“  esoteric  :  intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest. ”

jinhwan confuses people. they’re clever  &  quick-witted, yet never even thought about going to university. they’re stubborn as a mule yet bend to others’ will all for the sake of avoiding an argument  (  which they claim is because they don’t care enough or have the energy for it  ). nobody’s ever truly got jinhwan  (  or hades  )  &  probably never will. maybe if there was someone they cared about enough, they’d consider opening up.

*  the false backstory  .

jeon jinhwan grew up on a small farm on the outskirts of hope with three younger siblings. they were always fairly average when it came to academia, and something of an outcast amongst the townspeople for their bad attitude  &  apparent determination to make everyone hate them. from a young age they developed a reputation as  ‘  that weird kid with the chickens  ’  which was only about half their fault, and half their parents’ fault for never making the other kids help out on the farm.

when they graduated high school, jinhwan worked at the farm full time, basically taking over looking after the chickens and sheep. they were also in charge of fixing farm equipment, once their father got too old to do it himself, and they got pretty good at it  —  so when their siblings started graduating, jinhwan ditched the farm work and got a job with the local mechanic. they started small, fixing toasters and radios, but quickly worked up to fixing cars once the boss realised that this kid kind of had a knack for fixing things.

(  also, when their hands are busy they’re usually in a better mood, so the boss likes to give them complex tasks whenever a customer comes in to the shop, to avoid them scaring people off.  )

(death tw)

Zhyan was born in India in a crumbling town with a crumbling family, his father remarried and tried to father another heir. When he succeeded, Zhyan knew he needed to leave. He had a strange place in town, and when he scrambled enough money together, he left for Mumbai.

Immigrating from India to the United States wasn’t a linear operation, and after getting stuck in Mumbai waiting for approval, he took a less legal course. The boat trip took about three months, paying off his debt to the smugglers took another four, and by the time Zakary Prashad stepped away from the harbour in the States, he was almost two years older.

He became a cab driver, fell in love once, though it didn’t amount to much when his partner’s parents found out he had no family, and spent most of his days trying to earn enough money to get a bigger apartment, maybe an education. But the bills kept piling up and something always broke down. Having studied fighting at home, he took it up again in the city, he went almost daily, fought with others who went beyond their own limits, and eventually discovered the world of underground fighting rings. It was there that he started to actually earn something.

Then the world collapsed.

COMING TO HOPE

He banded together with a small group of survivors, clearly the fighter, but also effortlessly the most silent of the group, he never really meshed well with them. One day when he wasn’t feel good, one of the other survivors, an older lady in her sixties named Greta, gave him her rations for that day. A few hours later, while scouting a small abandoned town, she was attacked. Zhyan shot her through her head knowing that there was no other way. Another survivor discovered the extra ration in his bag when they settled for camp and accused him of having killed Greta. Which wasn’t a lie, but Zhyan defended his choice and told them all she had been in pain. The ration pack didn’t make his case very strong and the other survivor attacked him in his grief. Bruised and bloodied, Zhyan was told to stay behind because they could no longer trust his intentions.

He followed them for a day before realising his body could simply not deal with the strain anymore, and he went to search for the nearest town. Hope was a gift, though his condition didn’t allow him to enjoy the situation long enough. He was cleaned and bandaged, and treated with some healthy reluctance as the townspeople tried to figure out if he wasn’t a threat.

HEADCANONS

Zhyan grew up in a traditional community, given his position as the unwanted first heir - and later this right was taken away from him - he was trained to be a fighter and protector - one day to protect his younger brother. His body is painted by scars, ones he used to carry in Maga with pride, but has learned often need explanation in the States.

Zhyan is a very righteous person, he wants justice, but this rarely, if ever, applies to himself and his own situation.

tw: death.

after rosie’s musical ambitions fell through with the band, they stayed in seattle, working paycheck to paycheck as a server. 

rosie met their husband at age 23, one of their customers  — a regular. they married only a couple of years later. two years later, the marriage fell apart. around that time, they found out they were pregnant. 

they were 27 when the storms first occurred, just as panicked as everyone else, rosie even more panicked given the newly realized pregnancy. with communities quickly forming, they stayed in washington, giving birth to a girl the next year. 

at age seven, willa passed away due to illness. right afterwards, rosie packed their bags to head back to hope for the first time in decades. they had no idea what family remained, or even what of hope remained. 

rosemary has been in hope now for seven years, and helps with the farming. they enjoy their time alone, tending to the plants. while rosie is quite happy being in hope, they’re much more reserved and stoic than the way many may remember them.

at a glance —

as independent and strong-willed as minji  can be, she is rather insecure and sarcastic, at times bordering on abrasive. she’s the type to speak only when necessary, though when she does, you can bet it’ll be a biting and insensitive remark. she is perceptive and decisive, able to make decisions in a split-second, but is rather lacking intellectual prowess. 

in short — 

minji is the main groundkeeper at the cemetery, having befriended the previous groundskeeper,  whereupon she was given a job maintaining and keeping burial records. when they suddenly passed last year, minji was recommended to take over the upkeep of the cemetery. you can often find her in the office reading from her stack of books or chasing away local teens trying to break into the mausoleum. 

historically —

after a fatal car accident that killed both her parents, her and her brother were sent up from san francisco to live with an aunt in hope, alaska. they both had big dreams to leave the town and do something extraordinary with their lives, but when her brother turns 18, he leaves and abandons minji.

BIOGRAPHY .  (  tw: child neglect  )

originally born in seattle, washginton, charlie ended up with the bad stick right out the gate. born to an absent father and an uninterested mother, she was doomed to a rocky start that was left with many nights spent crying while her mother left her alone. it didn’t take very long for a neighbor to call the cops, and within the first few months cps came to take her away. this one incident would jump start a chain reaction of jumping around from home to home, never quite feeling at place.

with such an unstable childhood, it was no surprise that charlie wound up being a bit of a hard case. no one ever really wanted to deal with her, and in retaliation she only proceeded to act out more. she’d been labeled the problem child, the kid that was much too hard to handle, and for a good few years that was all she knew - that is, until one redhead who was just as fiery as she was adopted her.

charlie was wary of emilia during the first few years; after all, after twelve years of no one showing her an ounce of kindness, she didn’t have much hope for anything. but no matter how many times she acted out or got in trouble, emilia never gave up on her. she was patient with her, and in time she began to break down her walls.

in time, charlie became a little less mischievous and more rambunctious in the way most children should be. she joked around and made friends, and truth be told truly felt like she had a home for the first time in her life. emilia showed her kindness, and through the rest of her adopted siblings she came to really know what it meant to love and be loved in return.

these days she’s content in the simplicity in her life in hope. she loves her job at the animal shelter and still spending time with her friends, and although she still dreams for bigger things in life, she wouldn’t trade anything for what she has now.

she adores sweet things and has a massive sweet tooth. she’s almost always got a candy bar or treat of some sort in her bag.

secretly has a passion for short films. she wanted to go to the la film school once upon a time, but never managed to get enough money to do it. she still dreams about it, but in the meantime she’s more than happy to work on her own short films in her spare time (and yes, she cast her siblings frequently).

her most prized possession is her first gift her mom ever gave her - a little worn down and ragged teddy bear. she keeps it on her bedside table.

ok i’m still finishing my bio so dont hate me pls

but basically nia is a very private and guarded person. she likes to think she wasn’t affected by her parents’ abandonment bc she had her aunt (mother’s sister), who raised her, in her life BUT we all know she got hella abandonment issues bc of this.

her mother comes from money, father does not. both parents were too stuck in their drug and alcohol induced benders to take the responsibility of raising a child

parents decided to live their own life and dropped off nia at her aunt’s door step. that was the last time the family heard form them. 

mother’s side of the family instantly shun her out just bc she was born from the black sheep of the family

aunt decided it was best to protect nia from her side of the family bc she knew keeping her around was causing more harm than good

aunt and nia moved to dallas, texas where they lived quietly, and while her aunt had (inherited) money, they made a point of not having a flashy lifestyle, both being the most down to earth members of the song family. 

nia didn’t bother making friends. her aunt encouraged her to do so by making her participate in clubs and after school programs but nia refused to speak more than needed to. 

she’s not exactly anti social but she never liked the idea of forming platonic or romantic relationships- seemed like a lot of work when in the end they all walk away from her life (she’s just really scared tbh) 

this however did lead to her making plenty of online friends. her reasoning came down to this: online friends are real to a certain degree; you don’t have to put as much effort to keep them around. plus, everyone has a better and enhanced life online. no one really knows who you are unless you meet in person. she avoided this religiously.  

nia lived in dallas, texas up until a month ago, when she decided to move to hope, alaska. nia really only heard about this place from spending her nights blogging. she had seen mutuals speak positively of hope, and craving a small bit of change, that would not be as overwhelming, she packed her bags and with the help of her aunt she moved to hope, alaska.

since she is going for a change of scenery, nia hopes the new atmosphere will bring her out of her comfort zone. she believes it is time to build relationships with people. however, she realized one month into her new home, the lack of social practice, makes her the same person she’s always been: aloof and introverted. 

1. she will have a hard time socializing, she can get a little awkward and at times develop a small stutter from how anxious she can get around new people. pls be patient with her. 

2. i WILL be adding a more in depth description in her bio so once that’s completed, feel free to read it.

3. i need any single wc u have in mind please i will write whatever lol

no one really knows what lena’s life was like before she moved to hope , but she’s made it pretty clear that she’s left her old life behind. she comes from a pretty large family and she’ll sometimes mention them in passing , but she gives such little detail that no one’s aware of just how many siblings she has ( one full brother , four half siblings )

what she hasn’t told anyone is that she quite literally moved to vegas for like , three months in order to change her name before she moved to hope. she’s hiding from her dear ol’ daddy , essentially the only one that can instill fear in my baby lena.

has an eight year old daughter , amelia. the father isn’t involved , he only learned of her existence a year or two before lena ran. they were in a long - term and very toxic relationship. mia was to say ... far from planned.

anyway , lena is the kind of person that will tell you exactly what’s on her mind. she’s a fighter , forced to be strong since childhood. if she cares about you , she’ll protect you with her dying breath , but to say her father fucked her up royally would be an understatement. she’s actively scared to get close to people. they tend to die.

one of those gives no shits bartenders. will definitely make fun of you for your fruity drink.

uh .. is a charcoal and paint artiste. she’s much more talented at charcoal than paint , but prefers paint as a medium. idk like her paintings are alright but her charcoal sketches ... breathtaking.

definitely does not have a box of polaroids stashed under her bed of the absolute best time in her life. absolutely would never pull that box out once a week and cry over it :)))) never

okay so in this life , lena’s father had a much more ... rough hand with her. she never met her father’s brutal expectations , his desire for success beyond all else. he’d used the apocalypse in his favor , taking a firm grasp on their struggling community.

it was because of this firm grasp ( even tighter on his only acknowledged daughter ) that lena felt so desperate for escape. her only solace was her father’s much younger right - hand man. she let herself believe he was different , despite being so close to her father.

their affair was passionate but short - lived. in under six months , lena had gotten pregnant and now felt her father’s grasp like a vice. she knew she needed to get out , for herself and her baby.

she left in the dark of night , without a plan and with very little resources. days later , she collapsed on the side of the road. she woke to the sounds of her saviors , travelers on their way to a settlement in alaska. their family lived there , and they invited her to join.

anyway , that’s how she ended up in hope. she was very ... hostile to start and it didn’t encourage friendships. she kept her pregnancy a secret as long as she could. soon after she started showing , lena seemed to have a hard time distancing herself from the group. she knew she’d need at least a few close companions , if not only for the birth of her child.

so she let a few people in , they realized she wasn’t so bad as they initially thought. just hurt. as soon as she was able , lena offered herself up for perimeter duty. she wanted solace , and having to keep her mind sharp on the distance helped center her.

she’s watched her daughter grow in hope , glad lightness had reached mia’s life in a way lena never experienced.

been the principal the past three years , was formerly the high school’s vice principal. he really tries to get kids to be better versions of themselves and has even gotten a bully or two to change their ways.

despite constantly trying to get kids to open up to him , alex is very guarded himself. in fact , he blames the downfall of his marriage on this very fact : he could never let his wife fully in ( whether this is what Actually broke them up may be a whole other story tbd )

kind of really good at making decisions with his heart without really thinking them through. it was his primary motivator , and why he married flora and moved to hope without a wonder if it would last. of course it would , why wouldn’t it ?

alex comes from a mid-sized family , he’s the second of four , the only son , and older than his next youngest sibling by five years. they were all very close growing up and alex was very protective of his entire family , but a few weeks after his eighteenth birthday his parents and youngest sibling died in a car crash.

he never really recovered from the loss and while his sisters were brought closer by the tragedy , alex found himself running away. it was how he ended up in the same place as flora in the first place , his incessant need to hide from reality. after all , his family could fully be alive. he just could never return home to confirm it.

anyway , despite his running away from his problems , alex couldn’t help but want to fix something. someone. he went to school to become a teacher and quickly found his place , helping kids ( and sometimes even their parents ) when he could not help himself. he quickly became the fan - favorite of children and parents alike and made his way to vice principal , then actual principal , in what he considered to be a short time.

was born into a family with a father that constantly cheated and a mother whom pretended not to care , before finding her own solace in the bed of another man. because of this , they were married by paper only , a legally bound contract that forced them into the same home but different beds.

despite ( or maybe because of ) this upbringing , she really values the sanctity of marriage. she believes you should only marry someone if you truly believe you will love them forever , and if that love ever dies ? well , one should try to repair the relationship.

she’s always been setting up her friends. her ability to see two people at their core and know they would mesh was something she prided herself in. she considered herself to be solely responsible for at least three of her closest friends’ marriages

these two things made her confident in marrying the summer after she graduated college –– falling hard , fast , and irrevocably for someone she knows now could never love her the way she loved him. even when they were in the same room , it seemed his attention never wandered to her , while hers was constantly on him. but she wanted –– wants it to work out.

she’s an obgyn specializing in fertility ( as to be expected ), though she can’t say whatever first made her “decide” to do so. it just felt like a calling , something she was born to do. 

idk i feel like she has very vague dreams about the life she had before this , but doesn’t remember anything but this feeling of loss when she wakes up. it’s all blurred together by the time she opens her eyes but she’s drowning in grief regardless , though in this life , her family is alive and well.

has three children of her own , lily ( four , almost five ) and twins atlas & echo ( two ). they argue more than they get along , but maya’s always been able to manage it with ease. like she’s used to squabbaling siblings , knowing they’ll be there for each other when it really comes down to it.

     jeon  jinhwan    ;    introduction  .

*  summary  .

the epitome of dad friend, jeon jinhwan is a thirty-one year old general practitioner at mercy clinic in the town of hope, who arrived here just over five years ago. the first three years were spent as an assistant to the previous doctor, while jinhwan completed their vocational training, and in the last two years they’ve taken over that doctor’s job while the other retired.

key traits  :  pedantic, irritable, accommodating, protective

given name  :  jinhwan

family name  :  jeon

nickname/s  :  jin

alias/es  :  n/a

age  :  thirty-one

date of birth  :  fifteen may, nineteen ninety

place of birth  :  new york city, new york

astrological sign  :  taurus

pronouns  :  they  /  he

orientation  :  ヽ(´ー｀)┌

*  personality  .

positive traits  :  accommodating, protective

negative traits  :  pedantic, irritable

there’s a reason people say jin has dad vibes. grumpy when disturbed but inexplicably great with kids  ;  nitpicks things to be funny, and sometimes when it’s not amusing either  ;  compulsively overprotective of friends  &  often deemed the  ‘  responsible one  ’  in matters such as bonfires or camping trips. they’re short-tempered on anything less than nine hours of sleep  &  terrible when it comes to explaining things  ;  surprisingly good at both sewing  &  assembling ikea tables and chairs but can’t see past their own nose without contact lenses.

you can learn a lot about someone from what they value  :  jin drives a hand-me-down pickup truck that their granddad bought in his late fifties, more for the sentimental value of the truck than for the utility of it  ;  he converted one of the two bedrooms in their house to a library for their ever-growing collection of books  ;  works on weekends or late on weekdays if there are extra patients who need fitting in  ;  &  signs their name in a scrawl worthy of their title as a doctor.

*  biography  .

jeon jinhwan is the eldest child in their family. they don’t talk about their family much  —  mostly because there’s not much to say. the four brothers  /  siblings have all spread out across the globe, one in every corner of the map, never getting back together even for major holidays. their parents weren’t bad... just sorely lacking in affection and attention. they worked constantly, partly to provide their children with a good financial basis from which to go to university  &  start their own lives, and jin appreciates that  —  but they would have taken college debt for the chance to spend a few more days a year with their parents, to regale them with stories from school  &  to have them attend awards ceremonies. being pushed to be the best helped jin in many ways, and they still turned out okay  —  but the same can’t necessarily be said for their brothers, who had the additional pressure of having to live up to the level that jin reached.

college was what saved jinhwan — or so they like to say. years of rigorous study in high school were rewarded with a partial scholarship to stanford. between the scholarship and the savings their parents set aside for jin, they didn’t have to work during college  &  could slide straight into a proper job after university. it left time for them to socialise, making friends  &  going to gatherings of all kinds, and they learned how to talk to people properly, grew out of being an awkward gangly teen and into being a competent adult.

but for all the connections he built in college, none of them lasted the way jinhwan wanted. there’s still half a dozen people he calls every month or so, or texts with funny pictures or nice scenery, but the majority of them, he barely knows what they do for a living or where they live.

jin was never looking forward to going back to studying after their placement  —  but one of their seniors at the hospital suggested doing it online while working for a doctor, and recommended a friend of theirs  —  one of the two doctors at hope’s mercy clinic. so jin moved to hope and hasn’t left since  ;  and now it feels like home.

+ Charming, brave - easily bored, spoiled

   Faraz was born the second in line to a great fortune. His father was famous for the money he possessed, second richest man in all of Turkey, and Faraz went to the best schools, the biggest parties, and was familiar with the greatest families.

    death tw His uncle took a bet on Faraz to take over the business. At age seventeen, he followed a series of trainings and educations to ready him for what might eventually be his. Faraz was oblivious to his uncle's plans, until his older sister died under mysterious circumstances, and his father fell away in grief.

   Instead of doing what their uncle hoped, Faraz sold their shares to the company and left for the United States, where they purchased a local business, and began buying up shares and investing in other business, knowing full well that getting rid of the vast amounts of money they owned wasn't that easy, nor would it be to keep their identity under wraps.

   Faraz is very spoiled, they have their expensive tastes and will only purchase the very best they can find, they're very quick to spend money, and even quicker to forget the worth of it. They're charming, having learned how to play on their own strenghts and get people invested in what they have to say. More importantly: Faraz has only recently showed their true colors, going against what people expect and want from them. They often make the choices others wouldn't want to make, putting their money or life on the line, even if they don't think it will amount to much, it's the goal that counts.

HEADCANONS

loves expensive clothes and driving in new cars, though they often end up getting bored by it and donating it to other people.

death tw they still haven’t properly dealt with the death of their sister, often shying away from subject of family and background, which over the course of the past three years has made them rather mysterious.

uh , cameron a big softie !! if he knew how to bake he would definitely make you a cake if you were sad , but alas , his baking skills are absolute SHIT :)

always has his head in one book , sometimes maybe two ( he’s known to occasionally be reading a paperback , ebook , and audio book at the same time )

v v v quiet when you first get to know him. he overthinks all the things and that usually results in him finally figuring out what to say well after the time has passed so he just .. doesn’t say anything rip

re : gender   //   idk when he was growing up he didn’t really realize that .. he was trans ? like he knew that he was a girl because he was told he was a girl , but he always felt like he was trying to shove himself into a box that he didn’t fit in ?? but like .. he didn’t put two and two together until he was like .. sixteen. then it took him a few years to really accept and ground himself in this new identity before he started telling people. he took things step by step and fully transitioned shortly after he turned twenty.

he had like the usual people being assholes about it , but for the most part , cam’s transition was simple. no one he cared about intentionally misgendered him , and he was generally accepted.

idk he a big baby and wants to give everyone hugs and would definitely drop e v e r y t h i n g if you’re having a bad day.

this is probably my worst intro to date i apologize he’s new :) but he just wants to be friends :) even though :) he wont :) start a convo wit u :))
