History

Originally from Brenham, TX

Grew up on a small, small family farm and worked at a nearby cattle ranch when he got older

Has a younger sister (by 5 years), they were very close until he moved to Kaos and have been estranged for nearly 15 years now

Originally set on a path that began with the police force and ended with being a Texas Ranger

Got into a toxic relationship while in high school and would eventually get into a physical altercation with the sheriff's son - this would end up being one of the main reasons he would be denied into the academy (among having a very loose definition of “control over one’s anger”)

The ex-girlfriend from high school would go on to become an officer

Attended Texas A&M, particularly interested in the genetics and nutrition of plants

Pursued a MS for biological & agricultural engineering

Moved to Kaos on a whim after reading about a research facility that also worked with the university to study/engineer the genetics of crops to help them withstand living on the island and producing a higher yield to drive down the cost of importing foods

Works as a horticulture researcher and can also often be seen at local florists/greenhouses caring for the plants

Personality 

Can be unpredictable, short-tempered, and stubborn

However, is also generally sarcastic and doesn’t particularly enjoy overexerting himself on unnecessary drama or things he does not find to be completely relevant to him/his cause

Despite this, he continues to uphold a decent sense of humor and claims to be too old to get into petty bullshit anymore

He prefers to be left alone while researching (even though he works with a small team of 2-3 other people)

Age: Twenty-Six

From: Stockbridge, Massachusetts, United States

Biography and Headcanons: 

Lillian Natalie Hearthstone was born in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.  She is the only daughter of Natalie and Mason Hearthstone. Her town was made famous by Norman Rockwell’s painting of the town during the holidays. It is also home to the Norman Rockwell Museum. Her mother Natalie, was often involved in the town's events and volunteers at the Stockbridge Library, Museum & Archives. Lilly's first part-time job as a teenager, was as a front desk attendant at the local Applegate Inn. It was there that she discovered her love for the hospitality industry. She gained the aspiration to open her very own inn one day. 

Lillian proved herself exceptionally bright, in her studies, and would one day go on to become valedictorian of her high school. In school the brunette was quite popular, and seemed to excel at whatever she put her mind to, whether it was making friends or running for class president. Like her mother, when she wasn't at work, Lilly would involve herself in her town's events, or partake in one of her many hobbies. 

When she graduated from high school, her friends planned a trip to Greece to celebrate. They traveled all over, eventually stopping at Kaos. It was then that the brunette fell in love with the island and all its charms. She decided then that no matter what it took, she would open her inn on the picturesque island. Eventually, the vacation came to an end and Lillian returned to Massachusetts for college. She attended Boston University and earned her degree in Hospitality Management. Though the island of Kaos was at the forefront of her mind. 

To support herself while attending college, and save up money for her future inn, Lily got a job at a local bakery in Boston. Though she only ran the cash register at first, Lilly learned to excel at baking, and it soon became one of her favorite hobbies. Right after graduation Lilly packed her bags and was off to the island of Kaos. She managed to rent a small hole in the wall apartment, while she got a job waiting tables at a small restaurant. She continued to save for her inn, while scouting possible homes that could be remodeled into her vision. Her hard work paid off, and she managed to purchase a large stone mansion, and remodeled  it into the Hearthstone Inn. She at the inn, it seemed the most pragmatic decision for lodging.

HEADCANONS:

Gemini is her astrological sign

Her makeup is very minimal, preferring subtle eyeliner and a swipe of mascara, she only wears blush on a night out. She normally uses nude lipsticks, preferring rose colors. Sometimes, she will just opt for chapstick.

She often smells of vanilla and lemon, due to her hygiene products.

Her hobbies include, singing (often while preparing meals or baked goods for her inn.), antique shopping, baking/cooking, gardening, reading, watching hallmark/romance movies, knitting, and quilting, and scrapbooking.

She personally decorated Hearthstone Inn, herself. She had used her scrapbook as a design reference. She had been collecting pictures from home and garden magazines in a few scrapbooks since she was seventeen.

Falls is her favorite season.

Christmas/ Christougena is her favorite holiday. Her second favorite holiday is the greek holiday, Apokries.

Her favorite colors are red, pinks, and cream. She also appreciates autumn tones.

Her favorite flowers are roses. And she has quite a variety of bushes in her garden.

Freshly cut flowers from her garden decorate Hearthstone.

She gathers eggs from the Hearthstone hennery daily to use in meal preparation. She also uses fresh herbs and seasonal fruit from her garden in her cooking/baking.

Her favorite musicians are Nat King Cole, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and Michael Buble.

Lillian always carries an emergency cupcake in a small floral Tupperware container in her purse. In case one of her friends needs cheering up.

She loves hallmark movies and k-dramas. But hallmark movies are definitely her aesthetic.

Lilly is both a stress baker, and a stress cleaner. So, if she’s got something on her mind, the telltale sign is the lemony aroma of cleaning products in the inn, or the numerous amounts of baked goods on the kitchen countertop.

Aside from previously working in a bakery, Lilly has no formal culinary training. Most of her skills she learned over the years. So meals from the inn have a distinct home cooked flavor. She has learned many greek recipes in the five years she’s lived on the island.

Her favorite animals are donkeys, cats, and dogs.

✧·ﾟ(  hebe + inbar lavi + cis female   ) 𝒎𝒂𝒎𝒎𝒂 𝒎𝒊𝒂 !!  have you seen (   lorelei naji  ) around ? (  she  )  has been in kaos for (   twenty years   ). the (  twenty-eight  ) is a (  cafe owner   ) from (  marbella, spain  ). people say they can be (  envious   ) but maybe that’s not too bad ‘cause they can also be (  vivacious  ). whenever i think of them, i can’t help but think of ( the first golden light of dawn shining over the horizon, the child-like wonder of wishing of a shooting star, the smell of coffee first thing in the morning  ).  ·ﾟ✧

what’s up i’m steph, i’ve got my hat on backwards and it’s time to f*ckin party. and here we have lorelei, the local sweet, resilient, too passive and self-sacrificing café owner. she serves up the modern nectar of the gods: coffee. (luke danes who?) anyways hmu if you wanna plot or are interested in any of the connection ideas below!!

                                                      full bio | pinterest | playlist

TLDR; BIO — (tw: mentions of death)

born as the result of a whirlwind romance turned long-term relationship, lorelei’s and her siblings’ lives were turned upside down when their dad suddenly left after 8 years. packing up her children and her life, lorelei’s mother layla naji moved from marbella, spain to kaos, greece into the home of her older brother rahim and got a job as a curator at the local museum. meanwhile, uncle rahim took care of the kids. his carefree, child-like demeanor made every day fun. lorelei came to idolize him, and hung onto his every word (especially those in the stories of the gods and goddesses he’d tell.) 

he fell ill and passed away when lorelei was a teenager, and as the eldest she took up the role of “caretaker” for the family. placing school second on her priority list, lorelei worked two part-time jobs and deposited her paychecks into the family bank account or used them to buy groceries. her grades slipped, and the deadline to apply for colleges for the fall semester slipped by. 

lorelei never attended college, choosing instead to focus on her siblings success. she did begin taking online business classes, and through years of diligent, hard work opened up her own café called ambrosia & nectar cafe (inspired by the stories her dear uncle used to tell.)

HEADCANONS —

her favorite colors are hunter green and peachy pink

she often has her hair tied back for work, usually with colorful, patterned scarves and bandanas

she barely remembers her father

sometimes she feels she should miss him, but the only father-figure she misses is her uncle

he’s still her favorite person, and she thinks of him often

lorelei often visits her mother at the museum

she loves the stories of mythology and has fond memories of hearing them as a child

lorelei’s mother is from morocco, and has another younger brother who still lives there

lorelei’s younger brother is three years younger than her

her sisters are four years and six years younger, respectively

lorelei adopted her vivacious, youthful personality to fill the void her uncle left

when relaxed she’s peaceful, responsible, amiable, perfectionistic, and often stressed

the woman barely sleeps and thrives off of coffee someone make her take a nap

she rarely takes a moment for herself to rest, and could sincerely use someone with whom she feels safe enough to just relax

she’s an early riser (after so many years, it became a habit) and is often up and moving at 4am

her cafe closes at 3pm and only serves coffee drinks, smoothies, tea drinks, breakfast & brunch, lunch and snacks

she sometimes resents her family for the work she had to do for them, but at the same time focusing on them helped her grieve the loss of her uncle

she has tried to be one of those people who goes for a run, and decidedly is not

at most she’ll ride her bike

she can drive, but doesn’t have a car. she bikes or walks (mostly bikes)

she’s never travelled, but always wanted to

she used to think that she’d go to college somewhere brand new, maybe study abroad for a semester and see more of the world

unfortunately, that didn’t end up happening. she’s only ever been to marbella, kaos, and morocco for her grandmother’s funeral when she was a younger teen

she has moments of envy towards her siblings

she wants to be a plant person, but she can’t keep any plant alive. (she tends to over water them)

but she’s determined to fill her apartment with greenery anyway — but they’re all fake 

WANTED CONNECTIONS —

FAMILY FRIENDS: the naji family has lived on the island for the last 20 years, making them something of a staple in the community. perhaps your muse knew her uncle from elementary school, her mother from the museum, lorelei and her siblings from school, or maybe lorelei babysat for your muse’s family. wherever the relation began, the naji residence is like a second home for your muse. 

BEST FRIEND: lorelei takes on more than any one person should, and almost never lets down and relaxes. your muse would be somewhere she feels at peace, somewhere she can forget about her responsibilities for a moment and simply be herself. lorelei tends to let her friendships and relationships slip in the wake of her responsibilities, whoever this person is would have to be persistent and patient with her. 

DATE GONE WRONG: maybe lorelei was late because she worked too late, or they just didn’t hit it off, maybe it went well but lorelei never texted back. whatever the reason, things are somewhat awkward now (whether it be a mutual awkwardness, or one-sided.) all genders welcome! 

SUMMER ROMANCE: a past fling — it worked because it was never meant to last. they owed each other nothing, but acted as a welcome distraction for both parties. and when they both said their goodbyes after your muse went back to their life (wherever or whatever it may be), they never expected to meet again. ...and yet.

CAFÉ PATRONS: whether they’ve been drinking lorelei’s coffee since all she had was a street cart, or they’re new to the café itself, she values every customer (especially her regulars.) she’d work to remember their names, their orders, and any other tidbits of information they choose to share.

holy hades ... me, finally doing my intro ??? how sexy is that man ....

ANYWAYS hello!! my name is louise, or lou, whichever u prefer. i’m twenty years old and i live in florida ( and yes, florida men are real. i saw one walking a raccoon on a leash a few months ago ) and i live and breathe all things greek mythology. it’s actually what i specialize in at school !!! it’s my favorite subject EVERRRRR.

the character i am playing is named julietta montesino, but she mainly goes by juliet or jay or jj. she’s twenty six years old, grew up in the upper east side of new york, and is the demeter skeleton !!! now i know what you’re thinking -- demeter, coming from a city ?? how does that make sense ??? honestly, it really doesnt !! but my whole idea was that she was a source of life in the midst of urbanization. cheesy, i know, but in my head it kinda worked, y’feel me ???

below are some bullet points about her childhood !! i’ll explain a bit more below them but for now ~

originally born in madrid, spain to two teen parents that simply weren’t ready to have a child. she was only in the system for a little less than a year before grace and dean montesino, older upper east side socialites ( think gossip girl ) brought the girl home.

they brought her back to their main home in east hampton, new york, and that is where she grew up.

she was given just about everything she could have ever asked for, and still she had yet to grow a spoiled bone in her body.

went to a private school in the upper east side and was universally liked by both students and teachers

by the age of 20, both grace and dean montesino had passed away of old age ( as they were both well into their 70s when they had initially taken her in ) and from that she inherited their fortune, alongside their vacation home that was on kaos.

she’s lived there for six years now, and since moving to the island, she has started up a cute little farmers market that runs during the week and for a few hours on the weekends. she sells fresh produce there and allows people to set up stands and vendor stalls and such.

so !!! she was adopted by an elderly couple that hadn’t been able to have children of their own. they truly wanted someone to be able to carry on their family name and their legacy, and so, they decided to adopt a child into their home, despite having been well into their late 60s and early 70s. juliet blossomed in their household, and despite everything that she inherited, she never once let it get to her head. she’s very humble, and very generous and nurturing and truly just the most Mom friend you could ever have.

but be warned. she has a temper. big demeter temper. very much “hey i’ll fucking stop shit from growing until my daughter is returned” level temper. i think i mention that again in her headcanon section, but it’s a very big part of her personality. she’s usually a pretty patient and kind person, but if you push and push and push and end up crossing that line, it’ll be hard to once again earn your spot in her life. she has a petty streak, and is often times very overbearing and overprotective and, well, smothering. but know that she always has the best intentions, even if sometimes the best intentions lead to the worst scenarios.

and now, my favorite part. headcanons.

she has 5 reptiles. a ball python named Ellie ( bc demeters sacred animal is a serpent hehe ), two leopard geckos - castor & pollux, a bearded dragon named eragon, and a panther chameleon named pascal !

she has vacation homes all over the world that she inherited from grace and dean. one in Monaco, one in Italy, one in Bali, and one in London.

went to collage and studied botany!!!

has such a green thumb

SHE ALSO HAS CHICKENS !!!!! their names are Dennis and Jerry and Brad and Kenny, and they provide eggs that she sells at her little farmers market that she runs on the island

her favorite color is midnight blue

she has a few tattoos but they’re small and easily hidden

she also has a septum piercing but keeps it flipped up most of the time

is an absolute mom friend

literally like always has snacks in her bag for the friends she knows that get hangry, always has tissues and a shoulder available to cry on, is more than willing to always step away from what she’s doing in order to be there for someone

but she’s also very overbearing with a lot of her friends and she doesn’t mean to be but ,,,, she can be a little smothering sometimes

and by sometimes I mean all the time

as in she’s the type to grab a tissue and start wiping someone’s nose for them like “ugh you look so sick here let me–” cue the invasion of personal space

but she does it out of love I swear

people just need to remind her of boundaries sometimes

she also has a wicked temper. very “I’ll stop the growth of everything until you return my daughter hades” level temper. it’s a mama’s temper. u kno…scary shit my dudes

loves to wear sundresses. she’s got so many different kinds

also a big Stan of leggings and big t-shirts. she definitely does not dress as if she has millions in the bank

she spends most of her time in her backyard bc its …. really pretty

if you would like to plot, please please please like this and i’ll be happy to come to you for any plots at all !!! thank you for reading this mess ERIKBJFND.

✧･ﾟ(   helios + froy gutierrez + cis male ) 𝒎𝒂𝒎𝒎𝒂 𝒎𝒊𝒂 !!  have you seen (   sebastian guerra  ) around ? (   he  ) have/has been in kaos for (   two months   ). the (   twenty-one year old   ) is an (   actor   ) from (   san diego, usa ). people say they can be (   irresolute   ) but maybe that’s not too bad ‘cause they can also be (   nurturing  ). whenever i think of them, i can’t help but think of (   picking sunflowers, family meals around the table, always having sunscreen   ).  ･ﾟ✧  (  penned by diana, 24, est, she/hers ).

hello lovely people ! my name is diana, i’m 24 years old, i live in the est timezone and i use she/her/hers pronouns ! i was in kaos over the summer & some of september but unfortunately left because school got to be a lot, but with this quarantine i have more muse & time than ever ! & i am so happy to be back and writing with this incredible group ! but enough about me, the real star of this post is this ray of sunshine, bash. for more detailed information you can visit his stats & bio pages but please be cautious of the trigger warnings for suicide & depression in the bio & under the cut !

sebastian was born in san diego

he’s called bash by his family & friends, some people have tried to call him seb but it never really stuck

his permanent residence is in los angeles where he’s trying to make it as an actor

he’s in kaos shooting a tv show for a while & will probably come back for other seasons

he’s the oldest of six, so he often had to be the adult/caregiver while his parents were working which is where his nurturing nature was honed

he’s really protective of his siblings and super family-oriented

if he were a sim, his traits would be: family-oriented, good, & creative.

he’s extremely selfless ( it could be said that he’s too selfless ) & he will jump through hoops for anyone to be happy, asking for nothing in return

he wanted to be a doctor when he was really little which would surprise no one who knew him because he’s always trying to help and heal people. he still carries this dream in the back of his pocket

in high school, he fell in love w/ theatre. he did a lot of school plays when he had the time to commit.

he did some community theatre plays to gain a few bucks for his family when he was noticed by an agent who thought he would have a good presence on the screen. this was the first time bash kind of thought about acting as a career instead of just a hobby.

he was reluctant to take up the offer, as he didn’t want to leave his family but his parents convinced him to go

tw: depression & suicide, please don’t read any further if this makes you psychologically unsafe !

on may 4 2015, bash got the worst call of his life. he picked up the phone to his mother screaming about his little brother samuel, who had taken his own life.

after the phone call, bash didn’t hesitate to make the drive to san diego to be with his family. a week after the funeral, his parents again convinced him to go back to los angeles to pursue his dream.

again, he reluctantly packed his bags to head back to la but not before holding each of his siblings tighter than he ever had before and letting them know that he was always a phone call away.

as much as people told him not to, sebastian blamed himself for his brother’s death. he learned that sammy had been dealing with depression ever since he left home, which made him overcome with guilt.  bash hated himself for leaving and even though everyone told him that it wasn’t his fault, he had a hard time believing that

after sammy’s death, bash gravitated towards darker roles, although he took whichever roles he could get. when he had the choice, he tended to seek out broodier parts to channel his grief into.

but anyone who knows bash knows he’s not dark or broody, he’s the complete opposite.

he’s kind of like a knight in shining armor because he’s always trying to save people, whenever he sees someone struggling, he sees his younger brother in them, and something compels him to help them.

he’s a combination of the dad friend and the mom friend. he will tell you a terrible pun and then tell you to wear sunscreen in the same breath.

despite the tragedy, he is still soft and bright and kind.

this got rly long i am so sorry skdlfsdjflsdj 

also yes, i just copied/pasted my intro from earlier because i am LAZY

i would love to plot so pls hmu!!! <3 and i’m so excited to write with you all :’)

hiiiii everyone first of all i am so happy to be here the main is b e a u t i f u l and gives me so much greek god inspo! i’m neha this is my bby rory!! i’m going to add my big bio/about blurb that was in my app so if you want to you can read all about her, but if you don’t have time here’s a little tldr; for you! 

rory is my LA club kid QUEEN, she basically grew up super poor but going to a school wanting to fit in with the rich popular kids, long story short she started selling club drugs n stuff to them, gained the friendship and money but once hs ended it, everything ended and she basically had to start over, only now she had the uphill battle w/ addiction to drugs/partying/bad decisions to also handle! she’s on the island bc her mom met a rich guy and he has a villa on the island he wants her to fix up, which is also doubling as a kind of ‘get clean’ retreat tho it ain’t rlly working even tho sgenuinelynunienly sometimes want to do better. she’s a hustler and has a sharp tongue, but on the inside she has a heart of gold and rlly just wants to be loved for who she is for like the first time ever <3

PLOTTING STUFF: she’s been on the island for two months now, but lil girl is all about having those connections bc she thinks its the only way she can have value (ugh poor kid) so lmk!! they could’ve met through the whole partying/drugs route, at the bar where she works at a bartender, or maybe at the hardware stores that she frequents because she’s fixing up the villa! i have more specific plot ideas but i don’t want to make this post too long so hmu or like this post for me to come to you!! 

ok, that’s my two pieces said, now here’s the longish bio section if you want to learn more in depth about her :)Tw for abuse, drug use/dealing, addiction

B I O G R A P H Y

Rory is from LA born and raised! Her mother is a single mom and it was just them for a long time, with the rotating cast of her mother’s boyfriends. The two could just never seem to get close to financial stability and she grew up rough, never having enough money to keep up with the kids at school, then having to fend for herself once she got home because her mother worked nights.

At home, it all depended on what boyfriend out of the rotation her mother was currently seeing. The best strategy for all of them was avoidance, so Rory spent her days on the streets or at work, never really wanting to deal with the boyfriends. Throughout the years, she suffered abuse and neglect from these men, and though she tried to tell her mother, who was always just a little too busy, a little too high, or a little too blind to the effects. Besides, they needed the extra money that the various boyfriends gave. 

Despite it all, at school Rory shined. She was smart, that much was clear, and she exuded a certain aura of warmth that could make anyone, even the girls with birkin bags and ice cold hearts fall in love. Her school was a dichotomy of rich and poor, and if she worked her ass off and put in maximum effort, it seemed she could fit in with both. But she didn’t want both, didn’t want the stigma of her background to follow her everywhere. She wanted to live in the world of marble countertops and athleisure accessorized with diamonds. So, with extreme effort, she pulled herself up to the social ranks of those girls in school, always going over to their houses to study, pretending she never learned how to drive so that they wouldn’t know she couldn’t afford a car, let alone the mercedes and italian sports cars they drove to school.

But keeping up has its price, and that price began to climb as she was integrated deeper. Rory needed money for twelve dollar salads and fifty dollar spin classes, and the money from her job (which she said her mom forced her to do to learn responsibility) wasn’t cutting it. She was a scrappy kid turned into a precocious young adult and she’d been scrambling all her life, this was just another bootstraps moment. She had the connections from her neighborhood, and what did rich kids like more than drugs? The answer was nothing, and Rory made the leap easily, starting off small and gradually building up a mini drug empire in her high school. She finally had spending money, but more importantly she had friends and people who cared about her, and she wasn’t going to give that up for the world. 

Rory wasn’t dumb, she knew this couldn’t last forever, so she was also making solid plans to further herself in life. But an addictive personality ran in her veins as evidenced by her mother who was addicted to it all - drugs, boyfriends, and bad decisions. The moment it all started to go south could be pinpointed to the moment she herself started to use the drugs. Her friends were doing it after all, and she didn’t want to be a buzzkill. The drugs were an escape from her shitty life that was going nowhere, after all. They let her put on the rose-tinted glasses that she’d been denied since birth, and Rory ate it up. 

But with every ascent, comes a crash and as the lag time from the drugs started to affect her performance in everyday life, grades started to slip, dreams fell to the wayside and prospects started to vanish. By the time she finished highschool they’d say - what a fall from grace. Because she’d forgotten one very important thing. If her friends made a mistake, it could all be very easily swept under the rug and forgotten by way of their parents’ money. Rory, however, had no safety net, and at the end of highschool she was left in the lurch: same terrible grades and attendance as her friends, but no large donations to get her into prestigious schools. Or, for a fact, any schools. She’d peaked, and what followed graduation was a spiralling descent back to where she’d started. The friends she’d been so fiercely loyal to moved on to college and beyond and she was left with nothing but the endless LA party scene filled with people she didn’t care about and worse and worse decisions by the day. 

If it’d gone on for a couple more months, she’d probably have died. But the money started to dry up as her friends left, and the final blow was a drop gone wrong - high as a kite, she’d decided that handing off a major package to a much larger man in a dark alley was a good idea, and the inevitable tussle and robbing left her hurting. She was high and dry with no income and no savings. Twenty-two years old and nothing to her name. It was time for that scrappy kid to scramble once again, but that kid now had a mild drug problem and a chip on her shoulder the size of Texas. 

It wasn’t going to be easy. But one thing Rory was always good at was cultivating her connections. Though her friends had moved on, Rory’s combination of dimples, winning smile, and just enough ass kissing had created just enough opportunities with the people in their lives, and the people at the parties she frequented. She had an in to the rich, and damn if she wasn’t going to exploit it. Odd jobs here and there was her life now, just enough to keep her drug addiction alive, just enough to keep her name in the back of the minds of the wealthy. She knew this would change her life somehow, she just wasn’t quite sure how yet.And who could’ve predicted how it happened. 

It was mundane, a job making drinks at a classy party, one of those ones where the host barely shows up, where the adults sip their martinis and the kids do blow in the bathrooms. The party wasn’t anything remarkable, but what followed was. She was getting picked up by her mother, and the host of the party, a middle aged salt and pepper type man recognized her mother. They had gone to school together or something, Rory was exhausted and didn’t really care, but apparently her mother turned on the same charm inherent in Rory, and the next Friday had lined up a date.

Things progressed extremely quickly from there on out, with lavish dinners and getaway weekends for the two lovebirds. It was astonishing to watch, and the whispers of ‘gold-digger’ from the country club ladies couldn’t even come close to puncturing Rory’s mom’s thick skin. Both women had been to hell and back after all, had worked all their lives for pennies, and finally something serendipitous had happened. All the toxic exs were dropped within the first six months, the crappy two bedroom within a year, and after a year and a half marriage and a kid on the way - though nobody could quite say which one came first. It was a strike of lightning, transforming the tiny flores family immediately. Call it fate or fortune, but Rory was finally back in that world that she’d strived to be in.

This time, when the spiral came it was well supported and well recognized by Rory’s new step-father. He’d already been through the gambit of raising rich kids, two who were now nearing their thirties, and he could see the signs instantly. Bloodshot eyes, partying all night, sniffles and gaunt features. Rory was getting pulled in again, and fast, but this time there was finally someone looking out for her. She couldn’t escape the lure of the partying and the drugs alone, and this marriage had essentially busted it wide open for her, kicking away any barriers that had been there before. They couldn’t control her, really. She’d been scrambling so long that cutting off the money didn’t matter, she had her connections and her grit that had gotten her this far. 

What Rory needed was an out, a way to escape the vicious cycle addiction had pulled her into and her step-father had just the thing: a house on a tiny island in Greece,  a fixer upper that needed some love. Of course, he could easily drop a few thousand down and have it renovated much quicker, but he knew Rory had lost her purpose, so he offered it to her on a silver platter.Pride almost kept her in LA. The thinly veiled excuse to get her out wasn’t fooling anyone, but the last straw came when her step father asked her a very simple question: “What’s left for you here?”. For her whole life, LA had only given her pain, hardship, and drugs. Now, the latter was the only thing left. So, she took the deal, and the girl who had never left LA booked a ticket for the other side of the world.

Now, Rory has been on the island for five months. It’s not exactly rehab, but the drug usage has diminished bit by bit, She’s starting to find her footing and become part of the community. She still has that chip on her shoulder, but putting her energy into building something feels good. She’s never built anything in her life, and the house with its extensive gardens needs a lot of work so it’s keeping her extremely busy. When she first got there, the first thing she did was immediately pick up a job as a local bartender because she hates being dependent on her step-father’s money, for fear of him taking it away (trust issues much). The LA dust and glitter is slowly clearing from her eyes, and she’s discovering a much kinder and greener world.

P E R S O N A L I T Y

Rory is super charismatic and thus far has been turning on her charm in order to further things in life. She doesn’t have to do this anymore, so her genuine warmness is starting to shine through more. She’s been stung by basically all the relationships in her life, so she holds real companionship extremely close, loyal to the end and extremely passionate and protective. 

Bitch has trust issues and a bit of an edge though, so getting to that deep companionship is really hard.She’s also a rough kid, had to claw and fight her way through her life, so she’s definitely a little rough around the edges. She doesn’t open up quickly, and she has a quick temper that acts as a learned defense mechanism. She definitely has a nasty streak when it comes to defense mechanisms, and can be quick with her wrath.

Years on drugs leading up to this quieter life have made Rory a bit antsy, and though she still does some drugs she’s transitioning to chasing an adrenaline high - her addictive personality is always going to be her fatal flaw.

(tw: light drug use)

rhiannon aurora-may atwood has often been told her name fits. eccentric, intriguing, kind of a mouthful — that’s rhiannon, through and through. she was given two middle names because her mother, miranda, never cared for social conventions; miranda was a wildchild, and so was her partner, john. they gave birth to rhiannon in franklin, tennessee at 6:30pm on october 1st, 1997. libra sun, taurus moon, aries rising.

rhiannon got to be an only child for 9 years, and in that time,  she developed a lot of her spirit. her parents adored her, doted on her with love and an almost otherwordly wisdom. they were grounded, liberal people; they didn’t raise her with santa claus, or even a god - they gave her room to be her own person, and find her own truths and ideals.

they found that their golden-haired daughter had a ferocious, kind-hearted spirit. she didn’t giggle, she uproared - she was energetic and passionate, with an inherent kindness. it was an almost overwhelming kindness; she tried to take everyone under her wing, tried to solve the world’s problems, and took playground disagreements as a grave injustice. just as much as she was the friend with dirty knees from rolling in dirt, she was the friend who went and sat with anybody who was by themselves, whether they were actually friends or not.

rhiannon liked to try everything - gymnastics, softball, ice skating, track and more; but the one that had stuck was art lessons. her parent were both in artist professions as well, and rhiannon took to it just the way they did. art was her passion; she proudly declared she would be an artist someday, and her parents believed her.

they were also starting to think she might do well with a little sibling. thus, when rhiannon was 9, her sister, hazel, was born. just as they’d predicted, rhiannon adored her. then when rhiannon was 12, 14, and 17, respectively, her siblings florence, theo, and juliet were born. the atwood family was known for being big, quirky, and happy - it was extremely chaotic, but wonderfully embraced.

rhiannon went off to college in vermont, though she came home every break and summer. there were only things as important to her as her family; her art, and her connection to nature. sure, rhiannon smoked a lot of weed (and enjoyed taking LSD), but she really, truly believed that there wasn’t anything as beautiful as outdoors. she felt specifically connected to the night; she charges crystals under the moon, laying under the stars with a a joint and a smile on her face.

rhiannon was an art major, but part of her always wanted to become an astronomer - but she despised the studying, tests, and memorization that came with science classes.

her family was privileged enough to support her studying abroad for four semesters; in italy, amsterdam, spain, and greece. she still maintains that she loved her time in all four countries equally, but the one she found her way back to was greece. rhiannon even made enough connections there to pick up a bit of notoriety for herself as an artist. after graduating, as much as it pained her to say goodbye to her little siblings, she moved out to kaos – she was ready to start a life for herself, and ready to learn more about her place in the world than ever before.

+ POS: effervescent, kind, passionate.

- NEG: lackadaisical, headstrong, fiery.

TLDR: rhiannon is a twenty-two year old hippie freelance artist with a lot of love in her heart. she’s extremely passionate and nurturing, with an affinity for nature and the night sky. basically, rhiannon is my fuckin’ cinnamon apple and i love her and i’m looking for a lot of plots !! please hmu if you’re interested <3

✧･ﾟ(   helios + yang yang + cis male   ) 𝒎𝒂𝒎𝒎𝒂 𝒎𝒊𝒂 !! have you seen (   gabriel wu  ) around ? (   he  ) have/has been in kaos for (   three weeks   ). the (   twenty nine year old  ) is a/an (   novelist   ) from (   california, usa   ). people say they can be (   flighty   ) but maybe that’s not too bad ‘cause they can also be (   charming   ). whenever i think of them, i can’t help but think of (   the first break of sunlight after hours of rain, afternoon naps and a relaxing canoe ride in the middle of a lake   ). ･ﾟ✧

hello! the sun is here and so am i! (´,,•ω•,,)♡ my name is kitty and i am so ready to plot my dudes!

alright, let’s get this thing started! here are some basic info that you gotta know before we get some interactions going:

his birth name is guangli, but he doesn’t really use that so if you call him that he’d be all ???? but feel free to give him nicknames like gabe or gabby or literally anything he’s cool with anything 

grew up in california, and his parents own a hella successful solar panel company that he’d most probably be in charge of in the future but his parents aren’t pressuring him to get involved yet so he’s just chillin for now

certified new york times best seller! his thriller novel “the five omens” was published when he was twenty four, and its sequel “the crow’s call” was released three years later. he’s got a third novel rumoured to be on the way, and fans are apparently excited for it

he’s just a wanderer my dudes. he travels a lot, going to all sorts of countries to gain inspiration for his novels, so he doesn’t stay in a place for too long. oh, and his instagram feed looks SO GOOD because of that no wonder he’s got nearly 3 million followers (and no, it’s not because he posts shirtless pics and dumb selfies sometimes,,, okay maybe it is but whatever) and has been the face of a few brands

because his main occupation is being a writer and he doesn’t stay at one place for too long, he doesn’t really have a job (seriously feel free to tease him for being jobless he will laugh along with you because it’s true) so! he tends to take on small or odd jobs for the experience that he can incorporate into his writing, or just because he’s bored. boy’s worked as a barista, a salesperson, an office intern, a dog walker, a bodyguard... just small things, you know? 

really laid back, just one of the most chill people that you’ve ever met. you wouldn’t take him for a rich person because he sometimes dresses like a tired college student or you might have met him while he’s doing a part time job or maybe you saw him napping on the beach and you’re wondering if he’s a homeless person or,,,, but then you see the rolex on his wrist or he’ll mention that he’s staying at an expensive location and you’re like “whoa hold up”. he’s pretty charismatic and a tad mischievous so he’s easy to get along with, but maybe he can be a bit scary when he’s mad? *eyes emoji* but it takes A LOT to get him properly angry, so he’ll just stay his calm and warm self most of the time.

i don’t know what else to write rip

but okay let’s get to the plots that we could have!

a tour guide, first of all! someone who’s willing to show him all the tourist attractions but also the spots that only the locals know of and appreciate. all the best food places? pls show them to him and feel free to join him for a meal, too! also he takes amazing pictures with his professional camera so hey, the view’s pretty and you’re even prettier, when’s the last time you’ve uploaded a gramworthy pic? this shot might be your next one. 

a potential employer? or colleague? people that he can work with because how is this man supposed to pass the time here when he’s got nothing to do? that would get boring real fast. the job wouldn’t be something that’s particularly hard or something that requires him to take up the position for a long time, so something that he can quit easily! bonus points if it’s a job that he hasn’t take up before. he’s up for anything. 

a muse!!! someone who captures his curiosity so much that he just. has to write it down on paper. next thing you know, he’s already making a character based on you. is it weird if this character gets killed in the fifteenth chapter? yes? okay then how about the character being the new killer? okay maybe you can be a side character- 

a temporary lover? kinda like a summer fling but it’s not really summer. is it spring yet? ya girl has no concept of time i’m sorry lmao but yes. mostly physical with someone who’s not likely to get attached because he’s only here for a short time after all, but it’s fun going out on dates and stuff and hey, on the off chance that you ARE the one, then wouldn’t that be a good thing? he’s not looking for love, but if it comes to him, then he’s not complaining.

a familiar face? dude’s been to many places, traveling all over the world since he graduated college so what if he runs into someone that he’s met before in another country? did they get along well before? were they friends? were they lovers? did they annoy the hell out of each other? maybe he doesn’t even remember them but they remember him. they might be aware that he never stays in one country for longer than a few months, so will they try to have a more meaningful relationship while he’s here or just avoid him altogether?

that’s all that i can think of but of course we can come up with something that’s better suited for our muses! feel free to come up to my inbox like “yo kitty let’s have our characters interact” or “hey dumbass let’s plot” or something like that! srsly i’m not intimidating at all so don’t hesitate to approach me! or, you can like this post and i’ll slide over to your direct messages and we can come up with something :)

i’m chester, in the god awful gmt+10 timezone so catch me around???? when you’re not??? unless you’re eni and don’t know what the fuck a sleep schedule is x will live and die for the aesthetic, film work rn is non existent so i’ve gOT NOTHING BUT STRESS AND TIME ON MY HANDS AND I NEED TO STOP MAKING GIF PACKS OKAY!!!!!!! add me on discord is you wanna plot america's most unwanted™#2911 

 BUT ENOUGH ABOUT ME- WE’RE HERE FOR ROMAN aka ADONIS aka the hOTTEST MESS ON THE ISLAND WHO DOESN’T WANT TO CHOSE ANYTHING IN LIFE AND WANTS IT ALL

- born and raised in kaos, greece and endlessly stared at all the extravagant vacationers with envy perhaps- or admiration. one in the same?

- affair child, with a rich mother and a farmer father. pretty much spent their childhood between the two homes, but more frequently at their fathers working on their farm day in and day out. did they enjoy it? idk hard to say - will refuse to talk about it tho, really just says they came from a rich family and that’s about it

- now though they have their very own vineyard brought from their mother’s inheritance and it’s their little safe haven. making vinsanto is now their life 10/10. although they don’t have to, they’re frequently in the gardens working and caring for the vines

- idk if impulsive is the right word to describe them?? but like somehow they don’t think about consequences in their life and so far things have worked out?? so they still don’t manage to fully think through a plan but hEY they’ve gotten this far.

- do they live on anything other than wine and cheese and breads and fruits??? probably not????? are they about to change that?? nah fam

- has all the idea of romance as a 10 year old?? in which they’ll think everyone and everything is beautiful but love??? what’s that besides for a word people have said to them a hundred times over

- non binary but use he or they pronouns switch between

- will shower anyone they meet in love and affection, and just wants others to feel loved??? tbh,,,

anyway as i said i’m bad at these but here’s a link to their bio tw- sexual assault mention/rape implications, death mentions

hiii, i haven’t been in a group in a very long time but im excited to be here!! a lil nervous, going out of my comfort zone in some areas, but all around excited. fun fact, i had a mumu group almost just like this a couple years ago, except the difference was the gods kept their memories so they were all wilding out being human hahahah

feel free to skim this lol. but im in love w some of y’alls characters and i can’t wait to start talking to you and interacting! please feel free to message me whenever srsly! im in the discord you can find me there or pm me here.

one thing: is im very slow and have a disability and it’s rly hard for me to keep up with and concentrate on really long stuff, so keeping interactions just a bit on the shorter side will get our characters much farther with me lmao.

you can find her pinterest here, and i’ll make a playlist soon enough.

BASICS; brief about/family/small details

Honestly she might stab someone (if they actually somehow know her name) if they call her Juliet instead of Jules. 

She turned 26 on October 16th (which is the traditional day in celebration of Artemis as the goddess of nature and animals). 

She was born here in Kaos, I felt like it was important. Artemis was close to the nature in Greece specifically, hanging out around important rivers and forests constantly, befriending and loving the creatures in these areas. The nature of Greece was Artemis’ home, so it only made sense to me that when they were sent here she would wind up right back in it.

She’s very obviously not Grecian though, lmao. ((Erika is clearly Swedish, but German is a much more common demographic in Greece (actually one of the most common for non-native population). Scandinavia is all part of Germanic origins anyway, therefore,)) I think her family immigrated here from that region long before she was born!

She isn’t religious and has honestly never thought about it. (Laughable considering she’s a deity.)

She has a twin brother and he’s honestly like... too much for her to deal with lol. This is definitely me giving her a human brother that is the equivalent to the pain in the ass that Apollo was for her lmao. She loves him, but she will most definitely hit his ass when he’s annoying her. lskjdflskjdf

She doesn’t have a close relationship with her parents. There wasn’t really anything wrong with her upbringing (wow, me? making someone’s childhood average?) but they were never like close in the slightest. Her parents didn’t really want to be together, they only were for her and her brother, and the tenseness just radiated constantly. It wasn’t awful, but it obviously wasn’t ideal and even as a kid she’d much rather be playing with bugs in the backyard than hanging out inside. Once they’d grown up, her parents split. She has a more easy going relationship with them now, but she doesn’t feel the need to call.

She has a few tattoos here and there, for sure, but I haven’t picked them out yet.

She has two cats, and a snake. She doesn’t have a dog of her own, because she fosters them instead!

RELATIONSHIPS/SEXUALITY

TLDR below. Her gender is very difficult. I tried to explain it on my app but flailed around like a dumbass lmao. It’s a very common lesbian experience to be caught in this weird gender limbo. Not truly cis, but not really trans either. ((((Lesbians in my support groups all joke, “No gender, just d*ke” slkdflskdjf)))) So many of us connect to being a woman and womanhood only through our love for other women. And Artemis is definitely a lesbian, and I smile because through my eyes, I feel like I can see this being an experience all the way back to her. She declined and refused basically traditional forms of being “a woman” -- childbirth, marriage, sexuality specifically for men... and yet, she is the goddess of childbirth, fertility. It screams to me her love for women, and her connection to womanhood only being through other women. It’s very interesting and very complex, and very hard to explain to someone who doesn’t experience it. But yeah!!! 

My character is definitely also not feminine. I don’t think Artemis is either. I look at her statue where she’s leaning and got her hand on her hip and I’m like wow that’s some serious butch energy lmao. Big d*ke. Idk!!

TLDR: Jules is (def soft butch) lesbian, and her gender is neither trans/nb, nor quite cis either. 

On that... god, she loves women. Like, how can you not? They are soft, and all of them are complex, and gorgeous in so many ways. Artemis was surrounded by like 50 nymphs at all hours of the day everywhere she went lmfao. Gotta catch em all LSKDJFLDKFJ. 

So, Jules is definitely a stereotypical lesbiab in that she lowkey falls in love (in some way, and not necessarily romantically, just such a deep appreciation) w every lady she meets because, uh? Women? Magical, stunning, brave, phenomenal, spectacular, showstopping.

Because of this, and Artemis’ inclination to have every lady imaginable, Jules has a very hard time being in relationships. She doesn’t have like issues with it, and isn’t like completely afraid of commitment, it’s just kind of how it is. She loves to meet new women, and learn about them, etc. Butttt it’s not out of the question, if she meets someone super special. Artemis did get stuck on Callisto for awhile.

OCCUPATION

She is a wildlife officer, so you can find her around any local parks (protected water and forests, etc) doing her thing. 

Making sure people aren’t abusing the nature or the animals, watching for wounded animals, protecting hunters, etc. All kinds of stuff. 

She was never really interested in college, just not into it. She’s not really the scholarly type. She could have gone into zoology or something of that nature, and she thought about it, but it ultimately just wasn’t her thing. She’s happy where she’s at.

PERSONALITY

She’s a little hard to work with. She likes to do things her own way. Unlike most kids with siblings, she didn’t enjoy giving way for her brother. But I mean he was also a dumbass (in her humble sisterly opinion lmao) and she never felt the need to bend to his ideas. 

Still, she’s super kind and understanding -- uhhhhh at least with women, (she kind of >.> dislikes men-kind, always has but it’s only increased as she’s gotten older and more bitter toward ways of the world, and after an assault that isn’t necessary for intro tbh or who she is), but still. 

She is so so so so so soft inside lmao. She presents very tough just kind of naturally, but watch a lady smile at her the right way and her heart will melt smh.

She is definitely not a people pleaser. She does not care. Like, at all.

Um I feel like this wasn’t very good. I probably forgot something, and probably explained too much of other things. But!!! I just want to post this now so here we go lol. I hope this works well enough. I’m not good at bios so... some facts n stuff!!! Please message me aaaaa, I also @’d and messaged some of you, as well!

                                                     full bio | pinterest | playlist

TLDR; BIO — (tw: mentions of death, fire, burns, failed pregnancy, illness)

his father was an up-and-coming british politician and his mother was a grade school teacher. they’d had issues getting pregnant in the past, and once they started looking into adoption nicolas was born. they lived a happy life, and eventually adopted nicolas’ younger brother cassian a few years later. picnics in the park, “photo walks” where his father nurtured young nicolas’ love of photography, movie nights with popcorn, family dinners — they were the perfect picture of a family. 

it all came crashing down around them when their house caught fire in the middle of the night, trapping nicolas and cassian on the second story of the home. they were rescued, but nicolas’ mother died in the fire and his father died a few weeks later. nicolas sustained serious burns on his back, and his right shoulder and arm. 

nicolas and cassian went into the foster care system, where they stayed with an older couple in their home for 3 years. and then the wife fell ill and they couldn’t afford to care for nic and cas. unfortunately after that they were separated, they still text and message each other though. 

nicolas closed off completely after that, and only finds passion and joy in his career as a photographer. he stayed with another foster family for a while, went to community college and got his BFA in photography with a minor in photo journalism. 

he’s had a few jobs as a photographer (one for a news outlet, one for a travel agency) and has travelled all around the world for the latter. a year ago he visited kaos, greece and felt called to the island. he saved up money for the remainder of the year, and three weeks ago he moved to the island permanently. 

HEADCANONS —

he has such a Big personal bubble

and yet he’s touch-starved? try and figure that one out

he’s a cancer (they’re ruled by the moon i thought that was a nice homage to nyx)

very rarely goes by nic or nico, but likes when people do call him a nickname

insecure about his burns, mostly wears long sleeves and jeans

both because he doesn’t want other people to see them and because he doesn’t want to have to look at them

he often has headphones on — sometimes they’re playing music, sometimes he just uses them so people don’t talk to him

talk to him anyway he craves affection and attention he’s just Scared

absolutely oblivious, never knows when anyone is flirting with him

Can Not flirt. Disaster™

actually gets crushes really easily??

just…be vaguely nice to him and give him attention and he’s like “omg they’re cute–“ internally

wouldn’t ever do anything about it tho

his biggest way of “flirting”? asking for them to be in a photoshoot…

probably drinks too much

his brother is trying to get him to work on it

is so loyal once he lets you into his heart

…hasn’t let anyone in since he was a teenager

can you say self-isolation

absolutely has pity parties

sometimes they’re warranted, he went through something traumatic

but other times it’s because he’s lonely and it’s like

….duh, you did this to yourself

very intelligent!

pretty cultured, knows a lot about art and photography

doesn’t dress like it tho

would do Anything for his brother

they skype a lot

doesn’t make an effort to keep in touch with anyone else

calls the families that fostered him on holidays, that’s it

feels most at home at night

is that weirdo that likes to go for a midnight stroll

probably looks terrifying, wandering the streets at night taking pictures

WANTED CONNECTIONS —

A MODEL: occasionally, to pay the bills, he gets commissioned by a company to do a remote shoot with the greek island scenery. sometimes he may need a model or two (maybe even more!) they’d have a working relationship, but it’d be a great jumping off point for another type of connection! 

(EVENTUAL) BEST FRIEND: nicolas is a tough nut to crack... he’s stoic, broody, sarcastic, and prone to self-isolation. however, he’d thrive with a friend. especially one that kind of...forces their way into his heart?? sometimes introverts just have to be adopted by an extrovert. 

NEW NEIGHBOR: kind of generic, but he just moved to the island. he’s still getting the hang of everything. maybe they offered to show him around, or maybe they immediately got off on the wrong foot when he unpacked all of his stuff in the middle of the fucking night. regardless, there’s a chance for their relationship to grow from there. 

CRUSH: it’s silly, and he’d never admit to it, but he’s so starved for affection that it doesn’t take much for him to immediately develop a crush on someone who shows him the bare minimum of kindness/attention. it’s a fleeting thing, usually goes away quickly (usually) and mostly consists of nicolas having a harmless, wholesome daydream of having essentially a meet cute?? he’s v pure. 

DOG WALKER(S): nicolas can often be found taking his dog on walks throughout the day (and night, because he’s a weirdo) this could be a “hey we always see each other while walking out dogs” type of connection or a “hey i can walk your dog for you if you ever get busy” type of connection.

on december 25th, in the year 1997, you made your way into the world in the midst of the coldest night ontario had faced in months. your parents, evelyn and nathaniel duponte, had prayed and prayed for a baby girl for years. years and years and years of trying and trying and trying until eventually, they had given up. and it was only when they’d given up that you came to be.

as a child, you were nothing short of the brightest light in the house. your smile was enough to brighten even the darkest of hearts, your laughter sweeter than even the daintiest christmas bells. you were a dream child – that is, until they stole your light. and how did the do that, you ask ? well, this is truly where our story begins …

no one is entirely sure when the passion blossomed, but some rumor it to have started on your fourth birthday. your mother and father thought that a fun trip to an ice skating rink would make for a good present, and much to their surprise, you were a natural. it was as if you were born specifically for the ice. one step into the rink and off you went, able to hold yourself upright and balanced even at such a young age. a prodigy, they said. absolutely incredible, they praised. you left that evening with a new pair of skates and weekly lessons scheduled into your routine.

after two months of lessons, they went from weekly to three times a week. and then every day. before you really knew what was happening, you were spending every second of your life at the ice rink, honing in your skills. this talent that you possessed was going to get you far in life, your coach had said. what he didn’t seem to realize was the monster that it would awaken within your mother. it was gradual, at first. a slow trickle. one day she was more proud of you than any parent ever could, and then a week later she was subtly criticizing your technique. and then she was restricting you from going out with friends, saying that practice was far more important. and then she was pointing out every single flaw that you had, and harshly at that. pretty soon, the joy in your eyes winked out, the warmth in your chest icing over entirely. if a machine was what she wanted for a daughter, a machine was what she would get.

competitions came and went, gold medals were secured, and you were on a fast track to competing in the olympics. your once bright and bubbly personality had since faded into one of cold and cunning, of ice and harsh. you only ever smiled when you won. your mother was no longer the nurturing woman you remembered. your father allowed her to treat you like her own personal doll. you began to fold within yourself until you were nothing but a frozen front, a heart iced completely with no chance of thaw.

your first olympics were terrifying. but you persevered, and came home with the gold for your division. a landslide win, they’d called it. rookie sensation, they deemed you. the praise went right to your head, and the arrogance bloomed in your chest. you knew just how good you were, and didn’t let anyone tell you differently. four years later, you competed again, and yet another gold. a two time olympic champion, a national ranking – what more could you need ?

and then you saw the zillow ad for a nice house on a small island called kaos. for the first time in forever, something besides ice caught your attention. it was an impulse decision, and a quick move. she waited until both of her parents were out of the house to have all of her things collected, and just like that, she was gone. vanished. no word as to where she was going other than a note that read ‘see you whenever.’ it’s been six months since then, and she has no plans on leaving kaos anytime soon.

someone thaw her out pls & thank u

iii. wanted plots !!! im also super duper open to brainstorming things of our own ! these are just ideas !!!

1. the former best friend - this is someone that she spent a good majority of her time with before her mother limited interactions with people. they did everything together, whether it be watching a movie or trying to see how long they can get away with hiding in a grocery store after they close. it’s been nearly four years since they’ve spoken, and this might be one of the only people to bring a genuine reaction out of her.

2. the almost, the maybe, the “there’s something there” - they met recently. or maybe they met awhile ago. could work either way. this person was almost successful in attempting to worm their way into her heart. almost, however, is the key word in that statement. having gone so long without genuine human interaction outside of her sport, she hadn’t realized just how much she had longed for a friend. and then, she suddenly liked them as more then a friend, and that was when ella cut off everything. she’ll never admit it, but the idea of building a connection with someone terrified her.

3. the rival - oh, these two do not like each other. the why is something that can be discussed, but just know that there was some sort of altercation that led to the level of dislike between the two of them. could it possibly change ?? maybe so. i’d actually like to see how that pans out. however, as of right now, the most they do is snipe at one another mercilessly

✧･ﾟ( Achilles + Daniel Sharman + cismale ) 𝒎𝒂𝒎𝒎𝒂 𝒎𝒊𝒂 !!  have you seen (  Julien Moreau  ) around ? (   he  ) have/has been in kaos for (   one week  ). the (   twenty nine year old   ) is a/an (   ballet dancer   ) from (   Lyon, France   ). people say they can be (   prideful   ) but maybe that’s not too bad ‘cause they can also be (   loyal   ). whenever i think of them, i can’t help but think of (   the ripple of a muscle through skin while moving, a hand dipped in gold paint, the sun shining through blond curls ).  ･ﾟ✧  (  penned by eni, 22, est, she/her  ). 

biography.

It’s very long so I left it out of the intro but it can be found HERE. TW: child abuse, mentions of child sexual abuse.

A TL;DR version is that Julien was born in France and was raised his whole life to be the perfect ballet dancer by his mother who was less of a mother and more of a teacher to him. He went through life believing he wasn’t good for anything except for ballet which he excelled at and ballet was the only way for him to gain his mothers love. Through ballet he would find fame and glory until an accident happened and he ruptured a muscle in his foot, making it impossible for him to dance at least for a few months. He’s in Kaos now to rest and heal but how well that will work out is still left to be seen.

iii. wanted plots.

Patroclus: If soulmates were real there would be no two people more perfect to describe the word than Achilles and Patroclus. Whether that is romantic or platonic, it does not matter. What matters is that these two have a connection that goes deeper than words and feelings. It is like they share a single soul. 

Paris: Achilles has never liked Paris. There is just something about the other that makes Achilles think of him as cocky and undeserving of his time. Though Paris has never antagonized him straight on, the feeling is mutual. With these two in a room, it feels like a war could start, or end. 

Hades: There is something between these two, something old and ancient that thrums in their veins, perhaps quietly but there nonetheless. It is an interesting connection as they are both battered and broken in their own ways but light shines through all those cracks when they’re around each other. 

Even more wanted plots: 

Friends: Julien is generally a closed off person but he is charismatic, or well, he used to be, but the old him shines through sometimes. This could be any kind of friend from best friend, confidant to just drinking buddy, good/bad influence. 

Hookups: He is fairly new to Kaos but maybe they met in the past and had a fling. Summer thing. Booty call. Ex (limited because of his past but we’ll make it work.) Whatever works for you.

Therapist/Trainer: He is recovering from a potentially career ending injury so if your character has any background in physical or psychological therapy then hit me UP. 

Students: Though he’s supposed to be on vacation and resting, Julien is not one to fully listen to his superiors and so he’s found a ballet studio in Kaos and convinced them to let him teach a class. If your character is interested in ballet and you think they would take a class or two then hit me UP.

Eurydice ran away from home at age fifteen to catch a bus to New York City, and very rarely, if ever, tells anyone about her life before. The most people get is wild stories, each as fake as the last. As far as anyone who knows her now is concerned, she sprang into existence as a teenager braving the cold on the streets of New York City. And fiercely independent. People only let you down. That was her philosophy. She didn’t stay in New York for long though. Just over a year, and she’d saved up enough money to get a one way ticket to Europe.

From there she hitchhiked around, lying about her age until she was old enough for people to stop caring, and making money however she could. Usually some combination of music, art, and waiting tables. Her English was an asset, and she’d always had a knack for picking up new tongues. She’d stay in one place for a few months, or travel with someone else, but she left before she could really set down any roots in any one place. Occasionally she’d begin to care about people she met. But she had a bad habit of self-sabotaging.

One instance of this was in France. Here, while modelling for a drawing class, she met Arlo Rouselle. The two sparked quickly, and friends became lovers. But Brianna, realising she was falling in love with Arlo, wasn’t ready to take a fall. Their ending was messy, heartbreaking, and led to Brianna leaving not just the city but the country. Afterwards, she would mourn the loss of the warmth she felt in Arlo’s arms, but fear had caused her to make him push her away. To prove to herself that he would.

It was only two weeks ago that she came to the island. Another stop on her never ending road trip. Something pulled her there, and she let her feet carry her. She’s not sure how long she’ll stay, she’ll have to wait and see. 

OOC:

Hi, I’m Alicia. My pronouns are she/they and I’m from Australia. Currently I am stuck indoors when I’m not at work so feel free to hit me up for plotting! I’m also on discord, so that’s probably the easiest place to reach me :) Look forward to writing with you all

silly blonde and hot. that’s all people think when they first ada, but they don’t know her mind, bouncing around from thought to thought, making fashions and history. making people happy and helping them fall in love with the person of their dreams, and giving the wedding they have always hoped for. this is what her job.

she’s wearing diamonds (vintage or farmed for sustainability), and staying happy. she tries to make very few enemies, but instead make friends. and it’s easy to be friends with her. her brightness brings a smile, and she talks quickly with a berlin accent that draws you in. and before you know it she’s bought you a drink and has floated on. making friends. 

if she wants anything in this world, it’s success and luxury. born close to it she’s coveted it, and now she has it. she’s willing to put aside much of her life for success. including her own love life. she’s never been truly in love, and what does that matter? she knows the system, but there’s no reason to use it for herself. love is secondary, everything else is primary.

Introduction

✧･ﾟ(  Prometheus + Dylan Sprayberry + male   ) 𝒎𝒂𝒎𝒎𝒂 𝒎𝒊𝒂 !!  have you seen (   Kyle Desmotes  ) around ? (   He  ) have/has been in kaos for (   two months ). the (   twenty-three year old ) is a/an (   architect/sculptor   ) from (   Detroit, Michigan, USA   ). people say they can be (   critical and a bit of a perfectionist  ) but maybe that’s not too bad ‘cause they can also be (  an innovator and team player  ). whenever i think of them, i can’t help but think of ( a torch flickering in the wind, wet clay, tire tracks in the mud and pencils scratching against paper   ).  ･ﾟ✧ ( penned by bitby, 29, Eastern Standard Time, she/her  ).

Bio

Name: Kyle Desmotes

Hair: Black, slightly curly and a little past his jaw, often braided near his face

Eyes: Blue

Height: 6′ 0″

Occupation: Currently unemployed/Architect by education

Family: His parents are Leon and Margaret Desmotes. Leon is an architect while Margaret works in a museum. He also has two younger sisters Aster, two years younger and Nidia, three years younger.

Kyle is a bit of a wanderer, he graduated from college for architecture, and he's damn good at it, but his passion lies in other creative pursuits like sketching and sculpting. Architecture work is the family business and how Kyle can afford to just explore the world instead of locking down a job straight out of school. Kyle's wanderings happened to end him up in Kaos, where he's taken a liking to the general atmosphere. He's currently not sure if he's going to stay, he's thinking about it still, how he might be able to operate freelance or start up business on the island. He’d prefer to make his living on sculpture or art but would be happy enough if he could make enough to pay his own way.

Headcanons

Kyle studied abroad in Greece

He is multi-lingual and seems to have an ear for language, speaking English, Greek and Italian

He is almost always carrying around a bag with sketching materials in it

He has a knack for climbing buildings and trees and can be found in strange places

A motorcycle is his preferred method of travel, but he's also been known to go backpacking and thrill seeking.

He is competitive but in a relaxed sort of way. He doesn't like to trip and fall on his face too hard, so he tends to make it look like he doesn't put a lot of effort in, but a smug grin when something goes his way definitely can give him away.

While Kyle comes from a moderately wealthy background he's a hard worker and a bit of a perfectionist. He likes most things he creates but also can be known to pick apart their flaws.

Kyle likes to be underestimated, he's intelligent and hard-working but won't correct anyone who looks at his ripped up jeans, scuffed motorcycle boots and leather jacket and sees a deadbeat. People can talk, he'll just prove them wrong.

He is very much a people person, loves love and takes care of others when he has the means, whether that's by paying for something they need or offering a shoulder to cry on, he's very empathetic and caring to those who would call him friend.

In high school he took up fencing and has since come to enjoy different types of swordplay, learning whatever he can

Summer vacations were usually spent abroad so Kyle is very comfortable with the unfamiliar. Even being in a place where he doesn’t know the language doesn’t deter him from striking out on his own.
