#newhamhq:intro

[jtnewham]

✔ ┊❝ ( Joe Keery. They/He &. Nonbinary) rumor around town is that Jay Talon was on one of the buses that left for the field trip. they’re the eighteen year old that resides in new ham. over the summer news spread that they haven't had sex yet, but who knows if that’s true or not? what we do know is that their friends describe them as considerate & loyal, but who knows when they’re known to be stubborn & self-effacing from time to time.

This is my Soft Son™ Jay and I’ll do my best to give them the intro they deserve. I’m excited to explore them and see how they grow!

                            ✌ ═ ═ ═ ╬ 𝕁𝕒𝕪 𝕋𝕒𝕝𝕠𝕟 ╬  ═ ═ ═ ✌

:: Quick Facts

If you sing the Friend’s theme song they will definitely clap, even if they have to drop something to do so.

Their guilty pleasure is cancelling plans. They’re definitely an introverted extrovert.

His favorite pokemon is Mewtwo and he’s had a plush of it for as long as he can remmeber.

:: Background

They grew up with their dad and only their dad. They never met their mom and maybe at one point they cared but now they’re not bothered. Their dad is the friggin’ best and they will fite™ you over it

Ever since they can remember they’ve been involved in some kind of sport. Tossing a pig-skin with their father, jiu jitsu because they got a free first lesson and got obsessed, joining in on Little League, they’ve even tried out gymnastics and dance though it wasn’t their thing.

They never had any close friends in school but as a Jock they were popular like the rest of the team. They found it hard to connect with people their age who worried about things like relationships and social media. Though they’ll take a good meme any day.

:: Appearance

They are way too tall, like cumbersomely so, I’m talking around the 6″4′, has to duck under some door-frames, finds it hard to find long enough jeans type-tall.

Given they’re sporty background they are quite stocky and athletic in build, and they’re almost always wearing their Letterman Jacket.

Their favorite feature of themselves without a doubt is their hair. It flows like the mane of a lion and flares out like peacock feathers. He’s definitely written poety about his own hair at some point and he stands by it.

In some rare moments he likes to play with more typically labeled ‘feminine’ things like makeup and dresses, mainly to see how he feels about them. Thankfully their dad’s only caught them once trying this kinda stuff on and they easily waved it off as a joke.

:: Personality

Jay is the softest, sweetest most wholesome bean and they always do their best to love and make others feel loved. He’s a ray of sunshine though he does sometimes get caught up in his own feelings and can get a bit down and anxious. He is human after all.

Very close with his father, Jay took on a lot of the man’s traits, like being a hard worker, compassionate, and adventurous. Growing up the two of them would spend lots of time together, mainly playing sports and video games. That’s why most of Jay’s downtime is spent doing those two hobbies. (Jay kicks his dad’s ass in Mario Kart, don’t let him tell you otherwise.)

Six months ago Jay discovered the word ‘nonbinary’ and it answered so many of his questions about how he feels about his gender. They haven’t told anyone about this, though a part of them really wants to. He’s just glad that he doesn’t experience dysphoria at always being viewed as ‘masculine’.

:: Secret

Jay has never had sex, though they’ve dated their share of girls (and guys on the dl.) Sex has just never been something that’s interested them, and honestly? They’re getting pretty sick of always hearing about it.

✔ ┊❝ ( nick robinson. 18. he/him &. cismale ) rumor around town is that gareth “grizz” visser was on one of the buses that left for the field trip. they’re the eighteen year old that resides in new ham. over the summer news spread that he purposely botched his chances to win a football scholarship to a local uni because he applied to several ivies behind his parents’ backs, but who knows if that’s true or not? what we do know is that their friends describe them as well-read & piquant, but who knows when they’re known to be elusive & misanthropé from time to time. 

( &&. general information )

full name: gareth visser

nickname(s) or alias: grizz

preferred name: grizz –– call him gareth and he will... not be happy.

current age: eighteen

astrological sign: leo

gender: cismale

preferred pronouns: he/him

sexual preference: homosexual ( but closeted )

romantic preference: demiromantic

home environment: a quaint three-bed / two-bath house with his parents. a positive, almost sickeningly sweet home: family portraits all over the place, cheesy “ home is where the heart is ” décor all around from his mother’s many trips to pier 1 imports.

current occupation: student, student athlete.

language(s) spoken: english, french, a tad of latin. wants to learn more hebrew, but that shit is complicated as heck.

native language: english.

current relationship status: single.

( &&. background )

reason behind name: y’know, he’s asked his parents this countless times. why gareth? why. gareth. and each time he’s just gotten the same vague response: they liked it. it sounded respectable. ack.

birth order: only child.

ethnicity: american. west ham born & raised, baby!

nationality: american.

religion: agnostic. goes to church with his mother as a way to keep the peace, but... the idea of a god out there saying homosexuality’s a sin gives him a bad taste in his mouth. he’d rather discount his whole existence and uphold morality than accept that there’s a bigoted big guy in the sky. sees the bible more as a literary exercise to instill human value. did jesus really walk on water? heck no. but it makes a good fable.

political views: very, very liberal. doesn’t subscribe to labels, but as close to democratic socialist as you can get in this country without causing riots. anti-brexit. anti-trump. anti-bullshit, basically. maybe socialism or communism done right wouldn’t be a terrible idea.

financial status: very, very comfortable. his parents earn well and know how to save / spend frugally. the vissers are modest in living so they can pour more into experience. for grizz’s twelfth birthday, his parents took him hiking through the adirondacks. they’ve gone on some awesome trips together, and most of their vacations include some aspect of super cool nature. unbeknownst to grizz, his parents’ planned grad gift for him was a month-long backpacking tour through new zealand.

hometown: west ham, connecticut. cool beans.

level of education: high school senior. but he’s one of the learned folk: ap literature on lock. he took some college courses at the local community college last summer, because his job as a summer camp counselor wasn’t exactly intellectually stimulating. leading kids on hikes is fun ‘n all, but... not as engaging as college-level philosophy.

( &&. physical appearance )

looks like (or face claim, if applicable): nick robinson. with longer hair. reference [ here ] . 

height: 6′0 ( jack’s shorter, but nick’s my main fc i’m workin’ with so i decide to bump it up. plus, height? football? makes sense. )

weight: 158 lbs

shoe size: 10.5

figure/build: athletic build. muscular. broad shoulders, lean waist.

hair colour: deep, deep brown. almost black. natural.

hair length: about jaw-length. curly. ( REFERENCE. )

eye colour: brown with an overlay of hazel-y jade-green. his campers over the summer compared his eyes to moss a lot. it kinda felt badass. “moss boss” had a ring to it.

glasses?: nope. 20/20 vision. but he’s been known to steal friends’ glasses sometimes, just for funsies.

skin tone: light, but not necessarily pale – spends a lot of time outdoors. no freckles.

tattoos: none, yet. would love to get a quote from walden. or a pine tree, if it wasn’t so cliche.

piercings: none. but getting an ear pierced has always intrigued him.

birthmarks/scars/distinguishing marks: some miscellaneous scars on his hands from whittling incidents growing up. a faint line across his arm from stitches, when he broke it in the peewee football league in fifth grade. 

dominant hand: left-handed, but very recently learned he’s marginally ambidextrous for important tasks.

if painted, what color are their nails?: never painted. he keeps them short.

usual style of clothing: letterman jacket. jeans. tall socks, boots. pants tucked into socks, because why the hell not? flannels, hoodies, utility jackets layered over plain white tees. pendant necklaces, leather bracelets. occasionally he’ll wear a statement button-downs that looks like your grandmother’s upholstery, but somehow it’ll work really well. varsity t-shirts. hats of all varieties. if he could, he’d showcase some edgier styles. but he’s paranoid. he’s got a stanford hoodie buried in his closet. and a yale one, too.

frequently worn jewelry:  leather bracelets. a silver ring strung on a chain, engraved with “ for sylvie, with love ”. he found it on a hike, and... figured he’d be sylvie for a day, or something.

describe their voice, what accent?:  he has a light, gentle voice. a soft autumn breeze. laced with some gravel. strong, resolute. kind.

what is their speaking style (fast, monotone, loquacious)?: often speaks slowly, surely. not always keen to fill silences. but words are some of his favorite devices of deflection. if he’s unsure, he’ll cut himself off, leading to some choppy and hard to follow sentences. he very rarely mumbles. not afraid to speak eloquently, but will certainly match his speaking style to those he’s around, to an extent. rarely seems bothered. he masks it well.

describe their scent: amber, sandalwood, musk. vague hints of cinnamon. 

describe their posture: grizz holds himself proudly. shoulders broad, chin up, chest open. it makes his vulnerable moments very easy to spot.

( &&. legal information )

any speeding tickets?: nope. this kid drives by the book. probably because he very much prefers to walk or bike around town, when he can help it.

have they ever been arrested?: never. he’s only been to the police station once, to drop off some promotional donuts for the homecoming football game.

do they have a criminal record?: nah.

have they committed any violent crimes?: no sir.

property crimes?: no.

traffic crimes?: nope! unless you count accidentally cutting cars off with his bike, because that’s happened a handful of times, when he’s been deep in thought.

other crimes?: just breaking hearts.

( &&. medical information )

blood type: o negative.

date/time of birth: july 26, 1997. 3:23am. during a rainstorm.

strengths: can be quite resolute but sometimes about the wrong things. his ability to analyze and respond to complex literature is… uncanny. intelligence. deduction. survival facts. he’s a postmodern bear grylls trapped in suburbia.

weaknesses: impatience. do-it-yourself attitude.  fear of rejection. fear of acceptance. fear of others. fear of himself. 

insecurities: what if people in west ham discover who he really is? how’s he supposed to postpone that?

fears/phobias:  irrelevancy. book-burning. ignorance. time.

habits:  playing with his fingers. biting his bottom lip and twisting it between his teeth. humming when he thinks no one is listening. going for late-night walks through the emptiest parts of town. staying up ‘til 4am to read and re-read and read again.

quirks: rarely settles his gaze on anything for more than a few seconds, except for other peoples’ eyes. eye contact is probably one of grizz’s biggest conversational strengths. probably why he makes such a good liar, when he needs to. he’ll finish a pint of ice cream and just sit there for over an hour sucking on the spoon, lost in thought. licks his lips when he’s nervous. plays with his hair a lot. you know he’s nervous when he keeps tucking his hair behind his right ear. chuckles to himself, even when things are the pure opposite of funny.

hobbies: jotting notes in book margins. he dabbles in poetry but feels like his shit is too beat-generation to be that cool. wandering through the woods and attempting to generate his own maps, then checking them for accuracy. lighting matches in the cold, mid-evening air just to watch them burn.

guilty pleasure: peanut m&ms. twizzlers. burned marshmallows. apartment tour videos on youtube.

desires: to prove he’s… sometime more than this. something more than a footballer destined to pretend.

secrets: he purposefully botched an interview he had with central connecticut state university’s football recruiter because he doesn’t want to play in college. he wants to go to yale, or stanford, or brown. to study literature. classics. philosophy. his sexuality. but it’s getting harder and harder to keep that locked down.

turn ons: intelligence. genuine, pure intelligence. sharp-witted humor. dimples. dorky laughs. gentle touch. someone who doesn’t bother with worries ‘bout tomorrow.

turn offs:  idiocy. khakis. people with too much pride. line cutters. naggers. people who don’t think the proper way to eat bugles is by fashioning crisp-claws first and pretending to be edward scissorhands. people who overlook adrienne rich’s poetry, or claim dante shouldn’t be taught in school.

lucky number: 0.

pet peeves: hearing people scratch their scalps. sniffly public transit users. people who don’t use earbuds. cold fries. nail-clickers. knuckle-crackers. people who slurp from straws like they’ve never had a drink before in their lives. 

their motto:  “ i’m surrounded by idiots. ”

( &&. favourites )

game: monopoly. but only if he wins.

animal: fish. they’re so graceful.

holiday: halloween. boo.

weather: sunset, just after rain. golden rays peering through deep gray clouds. it makes the greens of trees practically scream against the sky. it’s glorious. it’s heartbreaking. grizz loves it.

season: late fall.

book: le petit prince by antoine de saint-exupéry. it was the last book his grandmother ever read to him, on his fifth christmas eve.

artist: edvard munch. or van gogh, simply because he chopped his ear off and mailed it to his lover. now that’s modern romance.

song: high and dry, radiohead. elephant, tame impala. anything by the beatles.

movie/film:  mr. nobody. eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. the first time little grizz saw alice in wonderland, he wouldn’t shut up about it for two weeks.

( &&. firsts )

childhood memory: waging what was left of his fruit gummies during a game of fireside poker on the first visser camping trip.

crush: matty kerrington, pre-k. his hair smelled like strawberries and his smile reminded grizz of the hot honey that clung to his mum’s spoon after stirring tea. but to this day, he’ll say his first crush was amanda vander-voss, because her hair was pretty in braids and she reminded him of the pretty deer from bambi.

( &&. childhood )

best childhood memory?:  honestly? wearing that boa in dance class. his mom was quick to stop that.

worst childhood memory?:  nearly breaking his nose on the neighbor’s front porch, while attempting to ding-dong ditch with his friends. he’s not sure what gave them away more –– his blood staining their pavement, or the fact that he blubbered the whole run home.

what were they like as a child?:  grizz tended to poke his nose into all the wrong matters, landing him in oodles of trouble. he’d steal from the snack cabinet, sketch constellations across the walls… even stole his dad’s old walkman so he could listen to music under his covers past his bedtime. tried to sneak into the library after hours to get his hands on another thoreau novel. but it was all harmless. the vissers weren’t very firm disciplinarians: they just loved that their son was engaged and passionate about knowledge.

( &&. this or that )

expensive or inexpensive tastes?: inexpensive, but lasting.

hygienic or unhygienic?: hygenic.

open-minded or close-minded?: open.

introvert or extrovert?: ambivert. thrives in social settings but the mood has to be right.

optimistic or pessimistic?: pessimistic with a weak optimistic veil. pragmatism, is how he’d put it.

daredevil or cautious?: cautious daredevil.

logical or emotional?: a blend of both, but emotions often influence his actions more than he’d like to say.

generous or stingy?: generous.

polite or rude?: polite when it’s socially mandated. but if there’s no threat of repercussions? a bit rude, if he has to be.

book smart or street smart?:  both.

popular or loner?:  popular, by proxy. but grizz vibes with some solid solitude, especially to recharge.

leader or follower?: leader. follower, though, in the high school structure of things. it’s a way to ensure his place and avoid potential fallout. he’ll call his friends out if they’re up to no good, though.

day or night person?: night. definitely night.

cat or dog person?: both! prefers cats just a smidge more.

closet door open or closed while sleeping?: open. maybe his demons wanna cuddle or some shit.

( &&. social media )

if so; name on facebook: none.

instagram user: grizzvisser

snapchat user: grizzybear

( &&. musical tastes )

theme song: kimochi warui ( when? when? when? ), car seat headrest. god... get him OUT of this town.

makes them sad: blackbird, the beatles. his grandparents used to sing this when he’d sleep over/ they’d be in the kitchen early in the morning trying to convince him to eat his cereal. they’d change the lyrics and snap slightly off-tempo, all smiles and coaxing gestures. ave maria. he’s not sure why. it inspires melancholia.

makes them dance: hazy miss daisy, kid bloom. anything with a sick beat and erratic synth. take on me, a-ha. good times bad times, led zeppelin. 

loves the most: fool of myself, the band camino. it’s a song he can throw his head back to, close his eyes, and sway in the breeze.

( &&. miscellaneous )

do they have a fake i.d.?: yep, used to, but now that’s not necessary!

are they a virgin?: nope siree!

describe their signature: it’s unapologetic on the page. takes up more room than it should with lateral squiggles and grandiose swirls. G and V are decipherable, but everything else is convoluted by its own physics. a muddled mess. beautiful in its self-collapsing structure.

how long would they survive in a zombie apocalypse?:  he’d outlive everyone. survivalist visser, right here.

do they travel?: yes, but he wants to do more, see more. the grand canyon would be cool. or maybe the alps. he’s always had a dream of hiking yosemite. 

one place they would like to live: anywhere but here.

one place they would like to visit: new zealand. australia. hawaii.

celebrity crush: young johnny depp. emma watson.

what can you find in their pockets/wallet/purse: tic tacs, but never the mint ones. only the odd flavors.

place(s) your character can always be found:  anywhere with trees. rooftops. alleyways. the football field. coffee shops. the local diner. roadside sunflower fields. his parents’ garden.

when does your character like to wake up?:  with the sun.

what’s your character’s morning routine?: blink at the ceiling for about 20 minutes. wash his face, brush his teeth. annotate a few lines of whatever book he’s reading. push-ups, pull-ups, crunches. run a mile or two. rush into the shower. grab his lunch from the fridge and bike to school (and barely make it).

what does your character eat for breakfast/lunch/dinner?:  grizz’s mom loves to cook, so they’re always trying some new paleo trend. some of it’s awful. but he’ll try to eat it and if he can’t, he’ll sneak a granola bar later. if the school’s serving smiley face fries, he’ll have those. he really likes green apples and those little clementines.

how does your character spend their free days?:  hiking. reading. writing. lying in the sun and just... thinking. lately, he’s been daydreaming a lot about an ivy league education. something more engaging than west ham’s high school snoozefest.

what’s your character’s bedtime routine?:  some kind of pre-bed stretching routine. wash his face, brush his teeth, curl up in bed with a book. fall asleep with it still open on his chest.

what does your character wear to bed?: boxers and a t-shirt.

if your character can’t fall asleep, what are they thinking about?: the past. mistakes. time ticking away.

what is their idea of perfect happiness?: he’s still workin’ on that bit.

on what occasions do they lie?:  very rarely, if he can help it.

most marked characteristic: his hair. it’s all russet waves. untamed. some days, his hair truly has a mind of its own. it screams free spirit. it doesn’t let on that, inside, his soul is burning.

what is one thing they’d most like to change about themselves?:  honestly? it’s not so much what he’d want to change about himself as it is about this town. 

how would they like to die?:  well-read.

do they snore? not unless he’s got a head cold. then there may be a few soft snores here and there.

can they curl their tongue?: yes!

can they whistle?: yes indeed!

do they believe in the supernatural?: not really. but it’s fun to indulge on halloween.  did he move your cup, or did the ghouls?!  s p o o k y .

has anyone ever broken their heart?:  no. haven’t had the opportunity to.

have they ever broken anyone’s heart?:  yes. little marsha lapone’s, at summer camp. she was 8, he’s 18. he told her there was no chance, and she cried into her pb&j. tough.

are they squeamish?: no. 

have they ever seen anyone die? what happened?: just in films.

are they a lightweight?: heck no.

that was a very lengthy thing but... yeah! hit me up for plots! i’m gonna get to crafting and replying to starters v shortly!

[hannewham]

✔ ┊❝ ( alycia debnam carey. she/her & cisfemale ) rumor around town is that hannah jordan was on one of the buses that left for the field trip. they’re the eighteen-year-old that resides in new ham. over the summer news spread that she ran away from her overprotective parents, but who knows if that’s true or not? what we do know is that their friends describe them as caring & perceptive, but who knows when they’re known to be stubborn & touchy from time to time.

open up for more info on this lovely mess!

so i’m gonna just do the quickest overview known to man!

hannah is not chill (tm). very stubborn, can be rowdy, likes to have fun and be loud and share her love for life.

this is partially because of her father’s intense overprotectiveness. he is a veteran and after coming home, became really protective of his kids.

hannah wants out from under his thumb, so much so she even stayed at a close friend’s house this past summer (hmu if your baby would be the friend!).

she also rebelled in a quieter way by finding a boyfriend (also hmu if you think your boy could be her boy ;) ) but they’ve kept it a secret because she knows her dad would go ballistic.

she is almost as protective and caring toward her friends as her dad is to her. she’s the mom friend and she knows it and embraces it.

she’s got some friends from working on the school play on the costume crew! she loves clothes & fashion and was accepted to parsons for fashion design!

she also likes to let loose so she’s definitely in with the partying crowd (you know who you are)!

smash that like or straight up message me if you want to plot!! i prefer discord but whatever works for you works for me ;)

[campbellishere-blog]

Hey everyone! I’m Ollie and I will be playing the ever exciting and often infuriating Campbell Eliot.

✔ ┊❝ ( toby wallace. 18. he/him &. cis male ) rumor around town is that campbell eliot was on one of the buses that left for the field trip. they’re the eighteen year old that resides in new ham. over the summer news spread that he has been killing animals around town, but who knows if that’s true or not? what we do know is that their friends describe them as charming and intelligent, but who knows when they’re known to be manipulative and dangerous from time to time. ( ollie. cst. he/him. )

Tw: violence, sociopathy

I really have no idea what to write here but I’m going to make an attempt. Campbell is quite frankly a mess who you probably would want nothing to do with in real life, but he’ll make things interesting with your character. He’s intelligent, can be charismatic, and might even be fun for a short period of time but he’s also super manipulative, violent, and controlling. (He’s certainly killed his share of animals even if he hasn’t graduated to literal murder)

I’m open to all sorts of plots with him but I expect that a sustained positive relationship of any kind is pretty much out of the question. The lack of empathy or care for other people kinda nips that in the bud. Just throwing that out there immediately since it’s a clear line for him.

But friendships where he gets something out of it are a go, as are victims to his crap, and people who keep him on his toes. I feel like he could connect with anyone on a surface level and bring some drama. Friends, ex-friends, ex-conquests, current hookups, enemies, family, people who want to stir up the shit, etc. are all welcome.

Feel free to hit me up here or on Discord if you want to plot or headcanon anything from the past, present, or future. I’m stoked to get things rolling.

[harbingham]

✔┊❝ ( alex fitzalan. he/him &. cis male ) rumor around town is that harry bingham was on one of the buses that left for the field trip. they’re the eighteen year old that resides in new ham. over the summer news spread that he uses his late father’s name/prescription to get opioids in the next town over, but who knows if that’s true or not? what we do know is that their friends describe them as adventurous & charming, but who knows when they’re known to be spoiled & destructive from time to time. 

hey fam !! i’m nikki && super excited to be here !! now the real question is do i love to hate harry bingham ?? or do i hate to love harry bingham ?? idk fam i go back and forth every second but you can always still find me crying in the club about him so there’s that xD. 

the spoiled™, popular™ rich kid lbh

had what he’d say was the ‘perfect life’ until his father passed away a little less than 6 months ago

it hit him more than he likes to admit ?? but vULnEraBILity™ ?? we don’t know her here. so he ofc pretended that he was a-okay

however he is nOT && so instead he’s been using his father’s name/old prescription to continue to get his father’s painmeds/opiods cause wow addiction

and lordt knows being here && in a way losing his mom too is just going to make it all that much worse

the healthy™ comping mechanism of using alcohol, etc to numb pain ?? correct

harry has a fear of being alone && forgotten ... but like will be an asshole && push everyone away so wow we love that too.

and because of that friendships are mainly surface level

tbh i feel like he’s dealt with depression before, however the death of his father, && ofc now this other worldly shit is taking much more of a toll on his already shaky mental health

everybody give it up for your fave, the one, the only... kate. jk it’s allie pressman!! the mini-me, the little queen, the sweetie with a heart of flame and fury. please give her a warm welcome & let me tell you what you need to know!

as a kid she was super fun-loving and irresponsible and not cautious at all, but the more she grew up and understood how precious life is (since her sister was always on the verge of losing it) she basically trained herself to be more reserved.

she never used to mind not being in the spotlight and always felt it was her natural way to be in the background. especially as she started to take on that role by choice, or even subconsciously.

once, in a black moment that she’s never told anyone about, she wished that she were sick instead of cassandra. not just because she wanted her sister healthy, but because she wanted a little attention, too.

and now that everything has gone to shit, allie’s holding onto to cassandra for dear life. what would she do without her big sister who always knows what to do?

but she’s going to surprise herself because she can handle a lot more than she thinks. she is resilient and has strength inside of her that she can’t imagine.

and the more things fall apart, the more the real allie is going to emerge. that fun-loving girl is gonna bust out of her shell and explore this new world, and that untapped power inside her is gonna show itself and make her a young woman that could give even her sister a run for her money.

also she’s secretly in love with harry and that’s gonna develop bc nikki and i are huge shippers.

anyway hmu & come plot with ya girl allie!!!

guess who’s finally giving clark an intro! it’s me! this is the boy. he’s a horrible rowdy mess and i love him already. i hope you do too! smash that like if u wanna plot / hmu on discord cause i’m more likely to respond lol.

✔ ┊❝ ( marlon langeland. he/him & cismale ) rumor around town is that clark beecher was on one of the buses that left for the field trip. they’re the eighteen-year-old that resides in new ham. over the summer news spread that his grades aren’t good enough to graduate, but who knows if that’s true or not? what we do know is that their friends describe them as funny & loyal, but who knows when they’re known to be dense & insensitive from time to time.

oh clark. you poor lazy boy. full of beans since he was a little kid—always running around, on the move, trying to get someone to play with him or fool around. 

he did like eighty different sports growing up, but found his one love in his football bros when the game started getting serious, around 7th or 8th grade.

he’s the second child of four, all boys. his mother sometimes laments the life she made for herself with all these pains in the ass, but their family has a lot of love.

his older brother, dean, went off to college when clark was a sophomore and clark gets a lot of his habits and ideals from him. he idolizes dean and the two are quite close. the younger two, not so much. at 15 and 13, they annoy the fuck out of clark sometimes.

the 13-year-old, wyatt, is... well, 13. going through puberty and an absolute terror. they all went through it, but that doesn’t mean they’re cutting wyatt any breaks.

the 15-year-old, gavin, looks up to clark the way clark looks up to dean, and is always trying to get him to let him hang out with his cool friends and talk to his gorgeous, sweet girlfriend.

speaking of, the girl is the lovely darby (natalia dyer) brought to you by linc ( @pvcked ) ! the two had a friendly rivalry from freshman year when darby moved to town. both sporty, they hung out in the same circles, and it didn’t take long for clark to fearlessly ask her to dinner.

he willingly admits that he’d never look at another girl while they were together, but most people probably underestimate just how head over heels he is for her because of his natural tendency for pranks and joking around.

people just don’t take him seriously. but he honestly doesn’t mind. makes it easy not to disappoint. and that’s a struggle for him, because he’s dyslexic and diagnosed adhd, which he takes medication for. it’s not something he tells a lot of people because it’s... a little serious. and he’s averse to anything deep.

that’s also why he’s been pretending everything’s fine and dandy, not even telling his girlfriend that his grades aren’t good enough to graduate this year.

this got long but pls love my boy! he’s just a baby and he needs hugs.

✔ ┊❝ ( noah centineo. he/him &. cismale ) rumor around town is that ross doyle was on one of the buses that left for the field trip. they’re the eighteen year old that resides in new ham. over the summer news spread that he was unsure of his sexuality, but who knows if that’s true or not? what we do know is that their friends describe them as confident & quick-witted, but who knows when they’re known to be self destructive & impulsive from time to time. ( tay. 19. est. she/her. )

“who am I? let’s talk about it.”

hello!!! I’m tay and I’m very excited to mix and mash new characters and drama and play w this awesome lord of the flies plot filled with so many lovely characters, please message me if you want to cook something up with ross, now onto a little bit about my boy

ross doyle has had a very privileged life, he grew up in a wealthy town with both of his parents even though they’ve been sleeping in separate rooms for years, the fighting didn’t really take a direct effect on him, or so he thought, until he became a super passive aggressive little dude when faced with conflict rather than facing his problems head on

drinking, drugs, and bad decisions are a big part of how ross chooses to spend his time but he’s extremely adamant on not being an “addict” and scoffs and makes a charming joke absolutely any time anyone attempts to make the argument (and they have) because he’s young and stupid and most importantly: bored, these actions don’t directly conflict with the rest of his life and he’s very sure that he’s alright and just having a good fun teen time

he’s currently dealing with figuring out his sexuality, as someone who was raised in a place where you’re either straight or gay (which doesn’t seem to be extremely excepted in new ham) having attraction towards males and females is very confusing for him, and causing him some mental strife. I plan to flesh this out more with time.

in school, ross wasn’t particularly a jock or a nerd, he floated around and generally got along with just about everyone, he’s very good at keeping up with the big smile theme of new ham but I’m super interested in making some enemies... a bad hookup? a drug deal gone wrong? I want to push him

when it comes to decisions, ross isn’t the best at making them and he often finds himself in a little bit of trouble whether it be kissing the wrong person, taking the wrong pill, or getting three speeding tickets in a month he’s growing up and it’s coming a little slower than would be ideal

when it came to school work though ross wasn’t the brightest, this is one of his bigger insecurities because while everything is fun and games life comes after this and despite his laid back personality he genuinely fears failure, little does he know he doesn’t have to worry about college just yet

ross is a very social person, he exudes confidence when he talks to others and thrives off of friendships and group dynamics, being alone is not his cup of tea

he’s gotten into some trouble and has definitely managed to rattle his family dynamic, which I see him feeling particularly guilty for when the plot gets kicking

I have lots more thoughts and hope to flesh out the character and keep the ideas flowing! please message me if you’d like to plot history between the two (especially as an original character) current, or future plots! let’s do this thang
