I wanted to get out of this world of dreams. I kept searching for the door that would lead me out. I understand now... there never was a door. You should’ve known that. You were just too afraid to open your eyes.

[FC, GENDER, PRONOUNS] ever heard about [CHARACTER NAME]? Out here on the road, they have a reputation of being [TWO POSITIVE TRAITS] but also [TWO NEGATIVE TRAITS], no wonder they’re called [SKELETON YOU’RE APPLYING FOR]. According to local legend, they’re [AGE] and when they pull up to camp not a soul can mistake the sound of [ERA ACCURATE SONG] following them. Some say they carry [3-5 ITEMS FROM HOME] and have been traveling with [DESIGNATED POD]. [alias, age, pronouns, timezone]

— I’M RIGHT THERE, SWIMMING IN THE RIVER OF HARDSHIPS BUT I KNOW HOW TO SWIM!
Maybe if Mama stuck around a little longer and Daddy didn’t love the bottle so much, you would’ve had a better shot at this game of life. But that isn’t how your story goes. For a vast part of your life, you’ve had your own back. Through school, through rehab, through all of it. And hasn’t been too terrible, not all of it. At least you’ve developed a sense of adaptability and creative thinking.
You’ve had to. After your second overdose, and your third time in rehab, you set out on the road. It wasn’t exactly ideal for business (selling drugs), but you’ve found other meaning out here, and you’ve found people who are always willing to try a sample. You think most people are scared of you until they’re looking for a joint.
And that’s fine, not everyone wants to touch orbits with a flaming meteor, hurtling towards the ground. You wouldn’t want anyone else to get caught in that impact, anyway. But THE BOHEMIANS don’t seem to have any fear surrounding that, so their presence has been invaluable.

+THE PSYCHEDELIC: There are few people you’ll share your shit with no strings attached, but THE PSYCHEDELIC is one of them. Ever since you first crossed paths, you felt you were cut from the same cloth. It’s probably a good thing you two have never traveled together, but one thing for sure is that it’s always a party when you two get together.
-THE L.A REJECT: THE L.A REJECT scares you. You have feelings for them on such a tender and real level that you don’t dare speak of it to them. To anyone. The road isn’t a place for such feelings, besides, it’s dangerous living the life you live to care about one individual that much. So maybe you’re kind of a dick to them to cover it all up! That’s nobody’s business but yours.
