Biography

Frost wasn’t always known as frost, his government given name was actually frank but as he started making his way through college he’d changed his name to frost. Maybe it was to sound cooler or be cooler or whatever but very few actually know him by frank now and he plans on keeping it that way. Eventually throughout his career he made it to FBI agent where he’s worked as one ever since, it was a job he wasn’t expecting to enjoy so much but he couldn’t complain after he’d stuck with it for a while. That is when he met cyan almost five years ago, frost had been put in charge of him after he’d hacked his way into something, honestly he never bothered to ask, not at that time at least.

before his college days however he ended up having two kids, both with different moms and knew being a dad and having a family wasn't something he was ready for at that time. however he agreed to pay child support for both his kids and since it was his decision to step back, he let the moms have the decision if the kids ever wanted to contact him or not then made sure to send any information that he'd updated whether it was a change in number or address.

fast forward to now, frost stayed paying child support until both of them were 18 when he didn't have to anymore since he didn't know if they even wanted contact with him anyway. he was in full career focus mode by then anyway which is how he ended up in this whole thing with cyan anyway. their 'relationship' was never anything romantic despite the fact they were legally married but the most that ever happened between them was the occasional hook up. the agreement was if someone else came along that made the other happy enough to want to pursue a relationship the other would step back and go through with a divorce.

after cyan didn't make it to dc after the move frost wondered if this was his way out of the relationship but something didn't sit right with that thought. then he ended up looking into the disappearance of his 'husband' when he hadn't heard a single word from the other in not only days but then weeks. and now it's been over a year after having no contact and he was finally able to find a lead of where cyan had last been, packing as much as he could into his suitcases so he could make his way over where he ended up in town by the end of june.

(Emily Alyn Lind) [THE BREAKAWAY]. Please welcome [BARBARA 'BABS' DAVENPORT (SHE/HER)] to Huntsville, WV. They are an [21]-year-old [VISITOR] who lives in [TOWN]. You may see them around working as a [FILE CLERK AT TOWN HALL]. They are looking for [JULIE DAVENPORT] their [COUSIN] Poor unfortunate soul. We’ll see if they survive.

Full Name: Barbara Stephanie Davenport Birthday: May 6 Age: 21 Hunter or Gatherer: Neither Sexuality: Straight Height: 5'4 Relationship Status: Dating Simon Miranda

An only child, Babs was heavily doted on and completely indoctrinated into the Davenport lifestyle. Poised and perfect from day one and a total daddy's girl, there was little in life Babs wanted for.

Visiting her cousins growing up was the closest she got to siblings. She loved spending time with Julie, who was around her age, and she didn't mind visiting her aunt, Minnie, but the family seemed content to cut her off, and if that was the case? Well then so long and good luck.

Her father was a very powerful and wealthy man, and Babs spent a lot of time hoping and dreaming of being just like him. She hung onto his every word, hoping some day she'd be able to get a position in the company and rise in the ranks just like he had. The first major point of contention was the fact that Babs wanted to go to public high school, however, but she insisted that it would help her in the long run, and her father reletnted.

Public school was very different from the private academy she had been at before, and she found herself a little bored. She breezed through her classes and spent most of her time trying to make friends and expand her horizons, trying to figure out how she could use everyone she met to her advantage further down the line. However, one of the boys she befriended, Simon Miranda, felt different. She couldn't explain it, but he just didn't feel like a pawn like everyone else did.

Her senior year, everything changed. Her father - still everything to her at this time was charged and found guilty of embezzlement. That was when it felt like Babs' whole life shattered around her. It felt like her entire life was a lie, and she wanted to run away and hide. But she forced herself to hold her head high - she was a Davenport, after all - and refused to address it with anyone.

Near the end of senior year, her and Simon started dating. She wasn't really sure how it happened, but it didn't really matter. He was the one person who made her happy, and managed to help her forget about the mess her life was turning out to be. He was looking into college across the country, and Babs jumped to go with him. She didn't even really want to go to college - school was boring, and she didn't know what she was supposed to do now that her father's company was dissolved after the scandal - but she didn't want to leave him and she needed to get away from her family. So she applied to the college he got into, packed her stuff, and ran.

The two were completely cut off, and that was new for Babs. She had to figure out how to scrape by, getting jobs that paid poorly for long hours, and she hated it. But at least she had her freedom. She'd debated changing her last name a few times, but didn't think it would be worth it in the long run - especially with her lack of funds. School was going just fine for the pair, and over a break, they decided to travel back to the east coast to look at the foliage for the fall. And that was the biggest mistake.''

Being back in Huntsville was sort of intentional - Babs had remembered visiting Minnie once or twice - and she'd suggested swinging by. While Simon never blamed Babs, she still felt like it was her fault for making the suggestion. Coming in right after Minnie's death felt like an omen, but it's not like they could leave. She instead opted to get a small place with her boyfriend and try to adjust to life in the town she was vaguely familiar with but that now felt like a ghost.

Babs can come off a little standoffish, but she has a very sweet disposition once you get past that. She's not the first to offer to help, but she cares deeply about those who are close to her. She still has a very poor work ethic, but when she needs to pull her own weight, she will.

❧ Name: Jeremiah Torrance ❧ Nickname: Miah ❧ Age: 32 ❧ Gender: Cis man, he/him ❧ Orientation: Bisexual ❧ Relationship: Single ❧ Occupation: Construction ❧ Residence: Town ❧ Title: The Runaway ❧ Faceclaim: Ben Hardy

❧ Personality -

Protective / Compassionate / Hardworking / Passionate Impulsive / Avoidant / Rebellious / Stubborn

❧ Introduction -

tw: child abuse, religious trauma, drug use

Since birth, Jeremiah felt as though he’d grown up in a cage. He felt stifled by all the rules and regulations of his family’s religion, and he hated how he saw his sister Beverly was treated as lesser than him, despite them being twins and him seeing her as his other half. Surely if she was the other half of his soul they should be treated equally, right?

Because of his impulsive nature, he was often bending the rules to see how far he could go before breaking them completely, and he’d take the blame for any trouble his sister happened to get into. Their parents believed in corporal punishment, which meant he felt the sting of his father’s belt more often than not growing up.

As soon as he turned eighteen, he left the faith. He went to college with his sister, but ran away from the campus soon after. He backpacked across the west side of the States, doing construction and handyman work wherever he could. He took the opportunity to do everything he wasn’t allowed to do in his religion, overcompensating for the apparent loss. He got into drugs, alcohol, and sex, going off the deep end in all three. His letters to his siblings became few and far between as he struggled to keep his head above water.

It was only when an on-again-off-again girlfriend of his told him she was pregnant that he decided to get clean. The relationship with this young woman had always been messy and unhealthy, but he didn’t want to be a neglectful father on top of a bad boyfriend. They decided they wouldn’t get back together, but she agreed he could help her co-parent, and he focused on his construction career, taking some tradesman classes at the local college as well.

At first he didn’t consider Beverly’s lack of letters as unusual. He’d stopped writing to her, and he figured she’d given up on him, which he couldn’t blame her for doing. However, he knew he had to apologize for abandoning her the way he did and to at least try and bend that bridge, so he took time off of work to go looking for her. Thus, he found himself in Huntsville.

STORY POINTS

Life is a lot easier when you're born with your best friend. Carrie always had Christine and Christine always had Carrie.

They were around each other so often that it was easy to confuse the two of them. While it hurt Carrie in the beginning, both of them realized quickly that they could take advantage of it.

They played pranks on everyone. Some of them were a little mean but they were bored. Everyone would confuse them anyway so what was the point of being nice?

The only person who could tell them apart 100% was their older sister, Hope. She held the weight of their parent's expectations and she took good care of the twins. They respected her.

There was always some tension there but on a deeper level, the twins always cared about and would protect Hope no matter what.

Carrie always had a love of building and sketching. She'd spend her time in class doodling buildings on sitting and drawing city maps. She loved the design of them -- the intricate lines and hidden structures within the walls.

She knew instantly what she wanted to do when she and her sister made it to Europe for college... She wanted to be an architect.

It all became that much better when Christine decided to be her engineer. They could be a power duo for their entire lives and that was always what she wanted.

They studied diligently in Vienna and spent their off time living it up throughout the continent, experiencing everything they could get their hands on.

Eventually, they became very successful women. It was wonderful. They were doing great -- but their love lives took a bit of a toll.

Carrie met Irelia at a gala and they hit it off. Everything was so natural, so perfect, so sweet... Until she saw how smitten Christine was when she introduced the two of them.

She'd give up anything for her sister to be happy. Anything. Because she deserved it. Her happiness over her own every single time.

They got married and things were good! She had what-ifs stuck in her head every day since but Christine was so happy. It was worth it... Until one night, Irelia drunkenly kissed her instead of her sister.

Drunk herself, she figured it was a mistake. It had to be. It didn't help the what-ifs... But it couldn't happen again and her sister could never find out. It would break all that happiness she saw and she couldn't let that happen.

Months would go by but then they would banter and she would kiss her again. And again. And again. Every single time, it was the same. Carrie would say they couldn't do this and things would go back to normal again.

Until finally, after what seemed like the longest amount of time for Carrie, Christine was finally the one that Irelia hit on.

She wanted to say it was a complete relief that it was all finally over... But it wasn't. Her sister was inconsolable and Irelia was completely out of their lives. Even married to her sister, Carrie could at least see her. It was all over now.

Carrie honestly didn't believe she had to say anything about their past experiences. It was over now and Christine saw that she was cheating. That's all that mattered.

In her head, she believed she had done everything right in letting her sister believe that her marriage was perfect until that moment. That her sister was as perfect as Carrie believed her to be and the good memories would remain untainted.

The two of them moved to America after being commissioned for a huge project and figured it was time to check on Hope too. Time would go by without correspondence but not this much.

They returned to the town they had always been dying to leave and now were stuck there like everyone else.

biography.

daphne never wanted for anything when she was growing up. she had all the finest things and whatever she asked for, she received. the hired help at her family's estate catered to her every whim and for a little while, she was happy.

until she requested time with her very busy parents, and she was denied again and again, given reasons why they couldn't be there for christmas or her birthday or her graduation. she received all the things money could buy, her parents even purchasing out an animal shelter instead of getting her a family dog, and at first it hurt daphne.

until she started to withdraw into herself and convince herself that she didn't need them. that she didn't need anyone. she started to value herself above others, to worry about her needs and wants, to bite first before she got bit herself. she surrounded herself with only others who could benefit her, which was how she met cosima — and eventually ended up on the party bus that would seal her fate in huntsville in june 2024.

daphne doesn't like huntsville, but she's nothing if not resourceful. immediately she found herself a job, and began working hard at finding the best people in town to get to know.

Name: Brook Close Nicknames: n/a Age/DOB: 22 December 25th, 1982 Orientations: bi-sexual / bi-Romantic Personality type: The Reporter Relationship status: Single Occupation: Freelance Journalist Destianation: In Town Role: Gatherer

Bio:

Ever since Brook was a kid she has always asked why, She has always wanted to look deeper into things. She began getting into the journalism even joining her schools paper. This gave her the outlet to start writing about stuff not only in her school but her local community. Unfortunately for her, someone of her opinions or even the facts she presented in some of her pieces didn't make her classmates happy. She was always the one getting the brunt of the tournament from the people her works effected. She could handle it, if her art provoked that much emotion then she was doing something right.

Brooks home life wasn't awful her parents were loving and did what they could to provide for her. She never asked for much either she was a content child and she thought her family was perfect. Until she realized it wasn't. unfortunately she used her intuitive nature a bit to hard and had discovered her father was having an affair. Not only that but he had another whole family. she was crushed and told her mother the moment she found out. Her mother didn't even confront her father. She packed everything up and took Brook with her. She hadn't heart from her father since and she doesn't want to. Ever since Brook has found it hard to trust anyone really except her mother. Because of this she never really dated much. Hook ups? sure but she has never settled down. Since moving Brook was thriving despite her heartache. She graduated with a scholarship to her dream school and even graduated top of her class in college and after interning at the age of 23 she was given the position of field reporter. Was it a bit of dirty work? sure! did she really mind? Never. She worked her ass off and by the time she was 30 she was the lead reporter at her station, the face of NYCnewstonight. She was pretty, she was confident, but also kind and down to earth at least for the cameras. She was a face the people could trust.

So when a few missing persons cases came up on her desk all connecting to a strange town in West Virginia she started looking into it. If they trusted her to get the facts and let the public know the truth she would do it. Month after month more and more people came forward mentioning their loved ones, friends, even famous people going missing and it connecting to Huntsville some way, some how. It wasn't until someone she knew personally came flying across her desk. She hadn't seen that face in ages. James Goldstein. Why on earth would he be in Huntsville, Why could any of them be in Huntsville. What was drawing them all there, what was drawing her here. So she pitched it to the network, a special where she would go to West Virginia ask some locals about it and maybe even look into the history of it then get directions to this town. Only She wouldn't be coming back, She would be live on TV When suddenly the connection would fuzzy, her voice would muffle and the screen would go Blue. The public wouldn't know what to think. Brook thought she was still live till her camera man would tell her they lost the connection and any communication to the station.

So they ventured further, still recording what they could so they could use it once they got back. It didn't take long for them to find it. The small town, the famous Huntsville. They were greeted and told that her and her team couldn't leave and that they needed to stay indoors at night. Brook couldn't believe it, she had become one of the missing persons cases she was trying to solve.

as for the special, the station chalked it up to back weather or bad connection and told viewers they would get back to brook at a later time. But that Later time never came only adding fuel to the theories and the questions. That Brook left unanswered.

BACKSTORY,

warning! teenage pregnancy, parental death

› born and raised huntsville by her 17-year-old mother, molly doolittle, and grandmother, gertrude doolittle. a spoiled rotten little girl who was absolutely adored by her caregivers; as afraid as her mother was to find out she was pregnant, there was a whole village behind her. the duo were loved and supported through it all. › darcy got just about everything she wanted but managed to grow up to be appreciative and humble. she often donated clothes and toys that she no longer needed and gave money to the homeless every chance she got. a heart of gold doesn't even begin to describe her. › even before her personality and interests started to develop, darcy always loved cameras. she was the star of any picture and recording. as she got older, she slowly started to prefer staying behind the camera but her love for filming and photographing only grew. shortly before passing away, her grandmother gifted her a light pink digital camera along with a few glitter stickers to put on it— this is something she still uses to this day, more than ten years later. › darcy's world crashed and burned at the mere age of 7; the paradox wasn't something she was expecting to happen. her mother tried desperately to protect her daughter- though it costed her her own life, leaving a young and helpless darcy to defend herself.. the most she could do was hide. she climbed and hid in a tree, only to be rescued two days later. survival would have been impossible alone. › the death of her mother and primary caretaker struck something in darcy that wouldn't easily be mended; she had gone mute due to what she witnessed that night. she was deeply afraid of everything and everyone and had no idea what to trust. after the horrors she had seen, she was ready to die up in that tree. but fate had other plans for her. she moved into the commune shortly after it was created. › a few years later, darcy slowly started to open up, though she was still incredibly shy and didn't warm up to new people right away. it took a very long time but she finally returned to her true self; a film-loving sweetheart who loves meeting new people. it was a difficult journey..

TW: 20+ year age gap, Coercion, blackmail (if you squint)

Laurent was born in Paris to Louis and Adeline De Chevaliers, 2 well known bohemian/hippies who were semi-successful authors. They did not take much to do with their son.

Laurent was an only child, cared for mostly by his rich Grandmother Sylvia who lived in a lavish apartment close to the Louvre. She was a strict, but overtly glamorous woman that Laurent adored.

Laurent grew into a snippy, vain teenager that liked to smoke long cigarettes in Parque Monceau, and drink cheap bottles of Champagne with his other music obsessed friends.

Laurent met Claude Babineaux when he was 16 and by the time they were 17, they were dating. Claude was a quiet but handsome boy that Laurent had teased mercilessly until Claude had kissed him hard on the Pont Neuf.

Claude came from a very well of family, and was adamant that his father could not find out about them. Laurent agreed and their relationship became a clandestine one, were they met mostly at his grandmothers apartment, or out in public. This continued for 2 years.

Laurent was 19 and just about to start at The Conservatoire de Paris, when Claude's father paid him a visit. Mr Babineaux was 20 years his senior and offered Laurent a cool few million and a place at the prestigious Université C��te d'Azur in Nice if he cut all contact with his son.

24 hours previously, Laurent had sat with Claude in Parque Monceau and told him he loved him. Now, he was taking money from his lovers father. The night ended with Laurent on his back and Mr Babineauxs hand in his hair. Laurent couldn't quite figure out which was the worst part. The fact that he so willingly took a bribe from his boyfriends father, or the fact that he fucked him afterward.

The next morning, Laurent was on a train to Nice and had cut all contact with Claude. He has not seen him since and often wonders does he know what Laurent did that night. Did that hurt more than the leaving. Laurent thinks about Claude often, but the memories are all sad ones now.

Laurent moved to Monaco after his graduation, and began working for the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra. He played First chair Violin for 7 years, before becoming a conductor for 2.

It was around a year or so before he came to America, that he began writing his own scores for sale to Hollywood. He remained with the philharmonic and this is were most of his wage came from, but his freelance composing earned him a hefty penny on the side.

Laurent was invited to Hollywood to work as lead composer for some high brow, multimillion dollar period piece, so he left his home in Monaco about 4 months ago.

Laurent's eccentric uncle Phillipe had lived on a ranch in Virginia since the late 90s, fulfilling some strange cowboy fancy. Laurent flew to NYC and then, took a trip down south to visit his Uncle before ultimately, flying on out to California.

On the way down, in a car just small enough for the tight little country roads, Laurent got good and lost and when he did finally find a store to pop into for directions, it was too late. Huntsville had him.

He tried and tried, for a solid month to get out, driving for hours and always finding himself back at the same fucking welcome sign. It was enough to drive him mad for a while.

So, he went out and bought a Piano and a cheap violin that he replaced all the strings on, and shoved it all into an apartment that was so terribly small he almost knocked the kitchen wall through to make some space. For the past month, he's been writing, playing and drinking red wine while he pours over books in a bar downtown.

Lil' Bits.

He's a right handed Scorpio, who likes a good Bouillabaisse and thinks rock music is just the fucking worst.

He often wears fine tailored suits and likes a Cuban heel.

His teeth are perfect, 0 fillings and 0 issues EVER. He's very smug about it

He drinks champagne and red wine mostly, but will maybe indulge in the odd whiskey sour.

French is his native language, but he also speaks English and German. He can speak a little Spanish but doesn't quite understand it well enough to hold a conversation. He refuses to speak Italian.

His favourite colours are Blue, Silver and White

He holidayed in Portugal before coming to America and found it too Touristy but adored the dancing culture

He has worn his hair long since he was 15. This man is also waxed from the eyebrows DOWN.

He prefers playing the Piano and Violin, but can also play the Harpsicord and the Guitar (though he isn't overly great at either)

He has a thing for muscles and long necks. He likes brunette women and men that look like him.

he's taken the post as huntsville elementary's music teacher with his dog acting as back up vocals and class mascot - the kids clearly like the dog more than him but he's okay with that.

loves his job - he never planned on being a teacher but the role was recommended to him when he arrived in town and he feels a sense of accomplishment that he gets to teach

will add to this as clay progresses

background

tw: miscarriage, death

Rosa was born to first generation Serbian immigrants. Prior to having her, her mother had experienced repeated miscarriages, and had all but given up hope that she would ever be able to conceive. Being their only child—and a rainbow baby at that—made Rosa's parents extremely overprotective of her, and even as she grew older and more independent, they had a hard time accepting that she wasn't their little girl anymore.

Partially because of how controlling they were, she was extremely shy and withdrawn growing up and remained a total wallflower throughout middle school and into high school. She only had a few friends, and spent most of her time trying to make herself as unnoticeable as possible. Of course, that didn't stop her from going through the cliché of having a crush on a jock who didn't know that she existed, but she couldn't really blame him for that—she was practically invisible, and that was by design.

She was sixteen years old when the storm hit. Her parents died in the first week of the paradox, before the protection rune had been discovered; and while she mourned their death, there was a small part of her that was also relieved to be free of them. She was taken in by Evelyn Montgomery, and it was under her care, mentorship, and guidance that Rosa began to come out of her shell. It was from her adoptive mother that she picked up a love of writing, spending nights pouring over the pages of Evelyn's past writing that she was shown, and eventually starting to create works of her own.

Nowadays, she is very outgoing, opinionated, and almost embarrassingly blunt. She loves being around people, and it is because of her dramatically increased social need that she decided to move into the commune, although she still visits her mom several times a week. She writes erotica for a living, happily taking requests and commissions from people, and has also become a regular dancer at Sammie's since it opened.

misc

She writes under a pen name despite not actually keeping her identity a secret. The name she uses is Milena Montgomery—her middle name and her adoptive mom's name. She has considered changing her name to Rosa Montgomery.

biography

hasn't been in huntsville since before the paradox had hit and in fact the last time he saw lincoln was actually a few nights after the storm had hit since he was coming to visit him. aaron was away at college so it was normal for them not to see each other for a while which is why he hadn't come back until recently. he wanted to continue with carpentry and woodworking like his father had taught him and after graduating started a traveling business of doing jobs like that where he went from state to state.

he was a partier in college and while it calmed down a lot after graduating he still has his party tendencies that happen every once in a while

he knows nothing about what happened to lincoln or the rest of his family and is assuming they're somewhere in town but he's barely arriving to huntsville so he hasn't had time to look either.

he can be a bit of a loner at times and that will probably amplify after finding out about all of them and isn't in the commune yet, he'll end up there after finding out that people are living in lincolns home

(i will add more later but this is what there is for now.)

Full Name: Chandler Rae Vos Birthday: Aug 20 Age: 29 Hunter or Gatherer: Neither Sexuality: Bisexual Height: 5'7 Relationship Status: Single

To say Chandler was unexpected would be an understatement. Born early, and to parents who didn’t really have any business having kids, she was dealt an uneven hand. While she struggled to catch up with kids her own age in most aspects, she was extremely bright, growing up playing video games and shocking people when she showed up to tournaments held at the local game stores, her sweet face and long hair causing most people to underestimate her.

Growing up in the throws of the internet and gaming boom, Chandler quickly took an interest in all things tech. She really wanted to learn how to make her own video games, and planned on studying hard and getting a scholarship to a school where she could learn everything she needed to know about making her own.

Online gaming was popular, and while she often connected to the internet to play multiplayer games with other, she often used a voice modulator. She had thick skin, but self preservation was just as important as a snappy comeback, especially in a space where people felt the need to say things they'd never say to anyone's face. In her everyday life, Chandler herself was something bordering on a bully, being blunt and firing back unkind comments to anyone that dared say anything about her family. But something about the internet brought out the absolute worse in people, and Chandler wasn't ready to face that.

When streaming was first introduced, Chandler was drawn to it like a moth to flame. It took a while before she was brave enough to show her face on screen, figuring just her real voice would suffice. And it did, for a while, but as time went on and her ‘fan base’ expanded, as a subscriber milestone, she was willing to go to more cons and events where gaming was live streamed in real time, and it was unavoidable to hide her face.

She really enjoyed streaming and con appearances, and for a few years, that was her major source of income. She figured this would be a great way to help pay for the rest of her college education, as the scholarships only went so far. This was where she wound up meeting Kevin Carpenter, and eventually also Evan Sterling, and Dixie Duvall. She finally felt like she'd found herself a little family, something she'd always felt she had been missing. She loved the idea of group road trips, and while they were together, it was like everything just clicked.

While they had all moved on after graduation, Chandler wasn't hard to find - she still did a lot of streaming and game developing, and had a pretty steady schedule of when she was live. Life outside of college was filled with cons and guest spots on other live streams, and she even managed to put out a game of her own.

When she heard that Evan was getting people together again, she jumped on the chance immediately, telling her stream that she was taking a small hiatus to meet up with friends and take a nostalgic road trip and she'd probably be back in a month or so. What she hadn't expected was for them to crash while trying to avoid an animal, and winding up in Huntsville. She stayed in the commune for as long as she could, but inevitably wound up getting her own place, not used to having to share space.

Chandler is still very blunt, but enjoys talking to people about what they enjoy doing, trying to find a new hobby to fill the void streaming left. She wouldn't consider herself an influencer like Hunter or Denny, but if you liked watching video game streaming any time in the last 8 or so years, you'd probably be somewhat familiar with her. A biting personality hides a quick wit and a genuine care, but her walls were put up long ago, and it's not super easy to get past them.

❧ Name: Leyla Kaplan ❧ Nickname: Ley ❧ Age: 25 ❧ Gender: Cis woman, she/her ❧ Orientation: Bisexual ❧ Relationship: Single ❧ Occupation: Unemployed ❧ Residence: Town ❧ Title: The Heiress ❧ Faceclaim: Cemre Baysel

❧ Personality -

Friendly / Flirty / Intelligent / Confident Impulsive / Vain / Entitled / Spoiled

❧ Introduction -

Leyla’s parents immigrated to the US from Turkey when she was three. They brought with them generational wealth and immediately began building businesses and growing their wealth. They wanted Leyla to have every opportunity afforded to her and spared no expense in her upbringing. She had the best nannies, went to the best private school, was given the latest brands in clothing and technology. She rarely saw her parents, but they “made up for it” by showering her with gifts and never saying no.

She was pretty much left to her own devices, and she quickly climbed the ranks of popularity in school. She made friends with fellow rich kids and took advantage of her spoiled life. It was fun. Maybe most of her friendships were shallow, but who cared as long as you could flaunt your wealth and know you were better than other people, right? The only person she genuinely felt close to was Cosmia. Along with Cosmia came Piper, who Leyla didn’t fully connect with (considering her a bit of a fuddy-duddy), but it was still attention and support and Leyla decided to not be picky.

On top of the world, Leyla entered college with the same mindset that everything and everyone had to cater to her. She was rich and pretty enough for it to work most of the time, and she didn’t get any real dose of reality until she and her friends ended up in Huntsville after a party bus tour went horribly wrong.

She absolutely hates it here, and what makes matters worse, her parents’ hired bodyguard has appeared in town as well. He is also a fuddy-duddy, but at least he still has to listen to her complaints . . . she hopes.

STORY POINTS

Benjamin Vasilios stopped breathing when he was only 2 days old. His mother’s alcoholism had caused his development to be delayed. It was a miracle he was even alive today.

When he learned the truth of what had happened to him from a family friend, all he wanted was to know what happened and how to help other children like him. He learned what a doctor was and that's what he would be. It never changed.

When he was 10, his biological father up and left. His mother had cheated with another man who would soon become his Stepfather. Before that point, he was relatively close with his mother. Now he blamed both of them for his father leaving.

That was when the fights started. His Stepdad hated the pesky son he was settled with and his mother was drinking more and constantly reprimanding him to respect his "father." If it was up to her— her son would end up just like them. But Benjamin was bound and determined to never let that happen. He hated their constant inability to take decent care of him.

Oftentimes, he found comfort in the librarian as a sort of makeshift mother. All that reading made him realize just how awful his family was and made him wish he had a different one. But he was, at the very least, safe at the library.

Then a whoopsie happened… His mother got pregnant. He was 13 when Josie Reigh was born. And he had been bound and determined to make sure she didn’t suffer the same fate as him. This caused even more fights and broken bottles thrown his way, but it worked. She was alive. She was healthy.

He became somewhat of a teenage father by that point. He picked up all the slack when their parents lacked. But all that lost time and abuse made him self-destructive. He just wasn't allowed to care about himself.

That being said, Benjamin was popular in school. He was well-educated and his teachers loved him. Though, he had very few relationships— which made him a bit of a conquest for other students… He rebelled against the idea constantly.

That didn't mean he didn't date or have girlfriends, he did, but he was really only truly tamed long-term by Allegra Hayes. She ended up being his first love.

The only time Benjamin had really been reckless was in his senior year after graduation. He decided to just let loose and have fun, get a little drunk-- but it wasn't a great idea to have stumbled home in the morning.

When he stepped through the door, his stepfather had been waiting. One of them was hungover and the other was day drunk... Discussing normal teenage behavior wasn't going to go well.

His recklessness caused their biggest argument yet. By the end of it, fists had been thrown and Benjamin had been packing up his things.

He’d have to leave Josie and Allegra. But he didn’t really have a choice. If he stayed, he’d end up killing his Stepdad or his Stepdad would kill him. Allegra would be fine, he knew she would be, but he’d have to leave Josie here until she was legally old enough to leave with him.

When he was ready, he left Josie a small vintage necklace with a white heart charm and kept a similar one in black. He left a kiss on her forehead, stole what he could for money, said goodbye to Allegra, and left in the middle of the night— it was the hardest thing he’d ever done.

His mother had tried to stop him, but he couldn't stay. Nothing she could say would stop him. In those moments, he saw the mother he thought had long disappeared. It just wasn't enough.

The first thing he did was change his last name. His destiny and hard work would never belong to either man. He went with Creed, a name in his mother’s bloodline that was lost with time. He'd give her that.

Finally, he was free. He adventured anywhere and everywhere in his pursuit of learning and eventually became a leading rookie trauma surgeon.

He never forgot about Josie, he never took off his necklace, but he’d been completely cut off from her. It was like he had never even been born. And in his pursuit of living, he just couldn’t leave to try to get her back. He wasn’t even sure he could take care of her at his level. So— he lived until he was stable.

The last thing he wanted was to become what his biological father was to him for Josie. He couldn't just disappear forever.

And so, the second he was stable enough, he packed up what he could and left for his hometown, ready to finally be the big brother he was meant to be.

biography.

kj can still remember how often her mother stressed the importance of family to her. other people come and go, she'd said, but family is for life. kj took that to heart — family was her everything. when they adopted kira, she wasn't even resistant to it. to her, she'd gained another person to love and protect, and she'd always wanted a little sister.

when the paradox happened, though, her entire world was shattered. she didn't even have time to grieve because she needed to be strong for kira — after all, her greatest fear was losing her — and so she stepped up and became the rock that they both needed. kira did her best to take care of kj in return, helping out wherever she could, while kj worked hard to make sure that kira never wanted to anything. they didn't have their family anymore, sure, but kj was determined to make it so that kj had all the love and support she could ever need.

kj is more of a realist. she grew up far too fast (at 17 she was essentially a mother herself) and so she became very jaded and realistic as a way of protecting herself and protecting kira. to her, nothing in the world is more important.
