 002.

( triggers: mention of accused infidelity, divorce. )

henry monroe was the second born of franklin and allison monroe. his father was a mechanic and his mother was a school teacher. there was nothing overly exceptional about the family, other than their love and support.

growing up, every child took an interest in something different. his oldest sister had taken a love to little league baseball, while henry found comfort on the ice. his father swears that the first time he stepped onto it, it was like henry was meant to be there, but that’s not what the old camcorder video shows.

what was a hobby turned into something more when he was old enough to hold a stick without tipping over. it didn’t take long for him to realize his talent had come from his father. according to photo of the championship team hung up in the high school, his dad was somewhat of a local legend. it was a lot to live up to, but he did his best.

there was a time where everyone compared him to his father. the expectations were set high and while the pressure weighed down on him, he never caved. that dedication led him to being recruited by the university of minnesota. it was his time there that he fell in love with more than just a sport.

this relationship ( a formal wanted connection will be posted ) lasted well past his college career. in fact, he proposed on draft night after getting picked up by the philadelphia flyers. everything was perfect at first. the move was smooth, their worlds aligned perfectly. he was happy and in love, but things fell apart over time. the fame of the game began getting to him. he was no longer in a rush to get home and there were whispers of infidelity, but it was never true. he was a lot of things, but he wasn’t a cheater. however, his marriage ended when another woman answered his phone on a night out with the team. after that, his wife filed for divorce and he didn’t have the heart or courage to challenge it.

as if his things couldn’t have gotten worse, a couple of weeks later he was alerted that he would be a part of a trade agreement. he would be going to nashville. while here, he didn’t make any waves, but he lived up to the bachelor lifestyle up until he got yet another call. he would be traded once more to the vancouver canucks.

this trade was different. what had once been a fun eighteen hour road trip would have now been an unattainable forty-seven hour drive. in the end, he didn’t have much room to complain. he was a desired defenseman and the money was well worth the transition. however, it was during this time that he purchased a home in seattle. so, during the off season, he spent time in seattle.

at the age of thirty-four, which, in hockey years, felt more like one hundred, he made his final trade of his career. he played for 2021-2022 season before calling it quits.

when he moved to seattle full time for his final season, he put his spare time into the penalty box. with the help of others, it’s been going strong for two years now.

003.

fans. anyone that has watched him play over the years or anyone that is familiar with him. doesn’t have to be a superfan, just someone who would recognize him as a retired hockey player. could also be a hater of his too. i’m down for anything.

fwb. this is something that can be new or something that’s been going on for a bit. he hasn’t really done relationships since his failed marriage, but could be fun to have someone he considers a good friend also be someones he finds comfort in.

patrons. the sports bar serves booze, food, and game nights. there are big screen tvs all around for the big viewings of special sporting events. of course, there are hints of hockey all around, but he’s got a little bit of everything for every sports lovers dream.

neighbors. he lives in evergreen shores, so anyone that lives nearby. we can get creative with this!

ex-wife. i’ll be putting out a wanted connection for this, but super angsty & i would love to plot a lot more on this. she’s mentioned in the bio above as well.

best friend. the biggest brotp of all. would get free booze whenever they come into the bar. basically, someone that knows just about everything there is to know about henry and has been there through his ups and downs.

I think they’ve lived in Seattle for his entire life. From what I’ve heard, they’re communicative but they can also be weak-willed if you get on their bad side.

TL;DR.

**trigger warnings for alcoholism and some parental neglect

grew up with alcoholic parents who were never violent but often neglectful and forced raf to have to learn to take care of himself pretty young. his mom suffered post partum depression for several years. she got sober when he was around 5 and they started bonding finally but dad never managed to get fully sober

did some acting out in high school but nothing major. immediately after graduating started dating delilah, the best friend of his senior year girlfriend, and got married three months later, when they were about 19

at 20 had their first kid, sadie. rafa had no idea what he wanted to do with his life and needed to support his family so he spent a lot of time going from job to job

was NOT ready to be a family man yet. loved sadie more than anything but had a hard time giving up partying and shit so by the time sadie was 5, he and delilah got a divorce. it wasn't lack of love but rather lack of being able to co-parent successfully in that situation

things got a lot better when he moved out. he took sadie on weekends and was able to do his own thing (for the most part) during the week

at around 27 he started going back to school and decided on social work. got his degree from seattle uni and then went on to do his msw at uni of washington school of social work. he started out working with schools and youth programs and finally in his early thirties landed a really good job as a social worker for troubled teens at a youth services center where he runs a program and does group therapy and some individualized stuff

eight years ago delilah got pregnant (bc yes they started sleeping together again periodically!!) and had their second kid, a boy named theo, when sadie was 16. raf stayed at the house for a little bit after theo was born to help delilah, which was very confusing for sadie obviously

he's still got some irresponsible tendencies but is overall a great dad and loves his kids more than anything and cares sm about the teens he works with and would go to bat for pretty much any child in the world

HEADCANONS.

has a little glass-blowing setup in his garage and has been doing it for like over ten years, makes his own weed-smoking paraphernalia

does drink but not a ton because he's very wary of having two alcoholic parents and how susceptible he is to it. smokes weed tho somewhat on the regs

loved her parents, but money was always lacking and she shouldered a lot of the responsibility in their absence

managed to complete high school and dreamed of higher education, but had to hold off a few years to take care of her siblings and save up some money

or at least, that was the plan, but a wrench by the name of rafael carreño was thrown into it at the age of nineteen, and after a whirlwind three month romance with her high school best friend's ex...the two were married

things didn't exactly slow down for the two, falling pregnant with and having their first child only a year later

did manage to get to college, first through some night classes at the local community college before transferring to the university of washington for her degree in hospitality management

despite their love for one another, rafael and delilah divorced by 25, but stayed close and managed to remain civil enough to continue to co-parent sadie together

...and remain more than civil enough to, almost eleven years later, accidentally produce yet another child together, a son named theo (oops)

[milafms]

samantha logan , she/her , cisfemale ! have you met mila james yet ? they're the twenty-six year old artist that lives around evergreen shores . i think they've lived in seattle for their whole life . from what i've heard , they're amicable but they can also be credulous if you get on their bad side . when i think of them , i usually think of tongue tied by grouplove .

* BACKSTORY !

TRIGGER WARNING ! minor mentions of home invasion and brief mention of assault .

Planned addition to the James household, the first and only child to a doting couple.

A silver-spoon upbringing, only ever knowing a life of luxuries. Anything and everything she desired was given to her, regardless of cost.

Parents showered their daughter in love, failing to ever be absent, especially when it came to momentous occasions.

Most friends within her social class were not as fortunate, their luxuries coming at the cost of present parental figures. Mila grew to learn she was lucky, and never took it for granted.

Perhaps it was just her nature, or if could be thanked on how she was raised, but Mila never developed the "brat-like" traits. The same could not be said for previous friends.

Parents always have, and will be, Mila's number one supporter. Encouraging anything that peaked her interest, and spilling the funds to ensure she has the full experience in exploration.

Sometimes, they would last only a couple of days to weeks, but sometimes they would stick. Ballet, violin and fencing were what time was most dedicated to.

Performing on stages, showcasing skills, earnt many medals and trophies. Only increasing the pride her parents had for her.

Heavily sheltered, learning lifestyles away from her own was uncommon. Seeing or learning about struggles was never first-hand.

Good intentions, behind the protection of their child, brought consequences. Mila grew to be blissfully unaware of the negativity which existed in the "real world".

When she was eighteen, parents agreed (after a lot of debate, and convincing) to allow Mila to move into her own residency.

An apartment within walking distance, humble by their standards.

New sense of independence came with risk, a young woman unaware of the dangers lurking around the corner.

START OF TW!

Couple months into residing in her own place, Mila experienced a break in, whilst she was occupying the home.

Fortunately, if it could be classed as such, she came away with only a couple bruises. Fault of being shoved by the perpetrator, landing against furniture.

Material possessions lost were not worried over, aside from one item. Her mothers locket, gifted when she departed from the family home, a treasured keepsake.

Agreement was made that she could move further away, now too afraid to stay in the location. Moving to Evergreen Shores.

Finding of a roommate was essential, now too fearful to reside alone, but still earning for the independence.

END OF TW!

Several years have passed, and whilst some days prove to be more difficult, Mila's naturally bright nature has returned.

Living off parents funds allows Mila to pursue passions in the art world, without fear of when the next pay check is coming.

Long term goals fail to be even a consideration, taking each day as they come has always been Mila's approach.

* PERSONALITY !

PROS.

Imaginative and open-minded. Mila forever has some new idea on her brain, whether that be a new skill, or adventure, and she is not afraid to venture outside of her comfort zone to experience it.

To Mila, every person is important to her, whether they are friends or not. She makes an active effort to recognise the shifts in another person's mood or expression, and does what she can to accommodate. Having a caring, and considerate, nature, and being overly sensitive to other people's feelings and needs, Mila always wants to do what she can to support others. Even if it is methods she is not necessarily acquainted with.

When inspired, typically following the introduction of a new hobby, Mila wants to share it with anyone who will listen. She is known to ramble for a little too long, but always takes into consideration what others have to say. Mila is genuinely interesting in hearing other's ideas and opinions, even if they are different to her own.

Known for talking, perhaps a bit too much, Mila rarely runs out of things to say. That being said, she still is capable of being a good listener. Mila cares about what others have to say, which can create a comfortable, and sometimes a safe, environment to converse in. It has allowed her to make friendships with a wide variety of people.

Mila finds joy in the present moment, she is spontaneous and is known to act with little thought behind actions. This joy that she finds, she always wants to share it with other, getting a greater sense of satisfaction form others happiness.

Having an approachable nature, many find it easier to talk to Mila than most. She's altruistic, with a warmth that radiates, and can sometimes attract even the coldest of people. Mila strives to get along with everyone, and this approach has allowed her social circle to grow, spreading far and wide.

CONS.

The idea of being disliked by another person brings Mila a sense of discomfort, because of this, Mila can often compromise on things that matter to accommodate. Sacrificing at the expense of her own feelings is a common occurrence. Mila can be treat like a doormat frequently, being treat poorly is something she will allow, for the sake of making another happier. Despite all these sacrifices, there are times people still dislike her, which she will lose sleep over ; wondering how she can change minds.

Interests are forever changing with Mila, and she frequently abandons newfound skills within a short time frame. Maintaining discipline over a longer time frame is challenging, and sticking with things is near impossible.

Extremely disorganized. Mila avoids boring and practical matters, struggling to focus when it comes to more important matters. It can cause issues, her parents having to bail her out on more than one occasion.

Whenever another person asks for guidance, or help, Mila will never hesitate to say yes. She has a strong desire to uplift others, but failing to set up boundaries, causes her to become overwhelmed. Becoming overcommitted, with a lack of time, causes issues.

Mila's outlook is seen to be overly optimistic. Her opinion on others is higher than most, which leads to well-intentioned but naïve decisions, believing those who haven't earned her trust. It lands her in hard situations from time to time, which is something she struggles to accept.

Outwardly, Mila always appears to be a happy-go-lucky person, rarely displaying signs of being upset. However, on the inside, she frequently experiences self-doubt. Questioning her abilities, and wondering if aspects of her life are good enough.

* HEADCANONS !

Since the incident at her first home, Mila finds it impossible to sleep alone. She does not have to have someone physically next to her, but in the same house/apartment. There are occasions, when she is having a hard day, when she feels that she needs someone besides her. It takes someone she is really close to, as it is when she is at her most vulnerable.

Being from wealth and never fully understanding the concept of expense, Mila is known to be overly generous. For those she is friends with, she is known to spoil them, whether that is with gifts, or dinner time dates. Anything that has a price tag on, she does not hesitate to cover the fee. Even if the other member of the party is fully capable for covering their cost.

Despite having what seems to be unlimited funds to decorate her home, it is not overly luxurious. She does not tend to care about whether an item is more expensive than another, only if it fits to her personal tastes. Most of the artwork hanging on walls is her own, or other artist friends, and potted plants are her go-to decoration.

Despite coming across as childlike, Mila is a hard worker and puts her all into everything she does. Sometimes forgetting to prioritise herself over work. Getting lost in paintings is a frequent occurrence, forgetting to tend to her own needs on the process, tirelessly working towards the final result.

Mila has never been above shopping, or dining, at inexpensive venues. Most inexpensive places, thrift shops or local diners (for example), are establishments she is not fully acquainted with ; parents rarely taking her. For this reason, she is more inclined to visit, always wanting to find someplace new.

To this day, Mila still actively practices with her violin. It is not something she would pursue as a career, no longer performing for crowds like she did when she was younger, but her own private concerts are something that bring her great joy. She is extremely talented, though she does not consider herself as such.

Extremely close with her parents. Mila still visits her parents at least once a week, always making the time to visit, whether it be going for a quick coffee or spending the day together. She has a lot of respect and love for them. Mila gets most of her advice from them, and values their opinion the most. If her parents like someone, they instantly get bonus points.

Avid lover of plushies, and stuffed animals. When the whole squishmallow craze was at its peak, Mila spent most of her time hunting down ones she had never seen before. Most of her collection is safely stored elsewhere, only a select few of her favourites in her room. A lot of her plushies that she treasures are extremely old and tatty, but she refuses to ever replace them.

Mila enjoys physical contact, there is rarely occasions that she is opposed to it. The type of person to link arms or hold hands with friends and is never opposed to cuddling up with friends on the couch. She respects boundaries, as much as she expects others to respect her own, even if hers a lot less than theirs.

Likes to draw on her arms and can often be seen with tiny doodles over her hands and fingers. If given the opportunity, she’d draw on other people’s arms too, usually making it somewhat personalised.

Have you met ROCKY TILLY yet? They’re the TWENTY SEVEN year old SURGICAL INTERN that lives around WEST POINT HOMES. I think they’ve lived in Seattle for TWENTY THREE YEARS. From what I’ve heard, they’re ADAPTABLE but once you’ve known them long enough you’ll find they can also be BRAZEN. When I think of them, I usually think of THIS IS ME TRYING BY TAYLOR SWIFT.

FAMILY.

mother: rowan tilly

father: atticus tilly

cousin: mikayla tilly

HISTORY.

With a pair of psychics for parents, it was safe to say that Rocky's childhood was more than unconventional. It wasn't like his parents claimed to be able to talk to the dead—unless it was a tourist in the French Quarter asking. It was more like they always just knew things that they shouldn't. It was little things, like knowing the grades on his report card before he even arrived home from school to show them, knowing when they had a visitor before the doorbell could even be pressed and even on occasion, much to Rocky's dismay, being able to understand his thoughts better than he could.

It never bothered Rocky much, having parents who were otherwise deemed bizarre and kooky by other peoples standards, until his teenage years. It wasn't until after he had long left New Orleans at the age of five, when his aunt had fallen ill—they were already packing their bags before Atticus had received the call from his brother—and his family moved to Seattle, Washington that his parents livelihood became something he felt embarrassed or ashamed of.

While his parents had found their calling in the paranormal, the more Rocky grew up and the more he found himself questioning his parents abilities more often and instead of seeking out answers in the unknown he was more drawn to the science of it all. Cold, hard facts. Proof. Evidence. That was what Rocky needed. He wasn't as free-spirited as the rest of his family, despite his best efforts to try and be more like them.

It would often make Rocky feel like a spare part in his family, like something was missing inside of him that nobody else seemed to be missing. His parents had their gifts, his aunt and uncle were Reiki Masters and even his cousin seemed to be able to slip in and out of different characters as she chose. All that Rocky had was himself—and his brain.

It turned out that Rocky was smart, incredibly smart, actually. No matter what issues he had going on at home or the trouble happening at school due to his classmates labelling him and his family a bunch of freaks, his grades never once slipped. They were always consistent, always scoring top of the class. He managed to keep this up all throughout high school, securing himself a coveted spot in Seattle's finest medical school where he studied for four years and recently graduated, beginning his surgical intern program at Seattle's finest hospital.

Candice Patton / She/Her / Cis Woman | Have you met DINA THOMAS yet? They’re the THIRTY-FOUR year old EVENING NEWS ANCHOR that lives around FINCH PARK. I think they’ve lived in Seattle for ONE MONTH. From what I’ve heard, they’re HEARTFELT but once you’ve known them long enough you’ll find they can also be TEMPERAMENTAL. When I think of them, I usually think of GOOD DAYS by SZA. (OOC: Jessa, 24, she/her, EST)

BASICS!

nickname(s): dee, didi age: thirty-four date of birth: june 29, 1988 zodiac sign: cancer gender/pronouns: cis woman sexual orientation: pansexual romantic orientation: panromantic residence: finch park occupation: evening news anchor for king 5 news

Dina Emerson Thomas grew up in a suburb of Houston, Texas in a huge tight-knit family that's been part of the community for decades. Her father, Maxwell, worked as a semi-truck driver for touring artists whereas her mother, Samira, was a homemaker. Her father made a name of himself within his industry, and he brought up his three children up in a good home. Dina was the name from of her great-grandmother on her mother's side, and Emerson was her paternal great-grandmother's name. So many traditional names were inherited, so it was almost as if she had a lot to live up to.

Being the baby of the family as well as the only girl meant that Dina grew up somewhat spoiled and protected. Though, she wasn't protected in the way of being sheltered. Instead, her family helped her learn to stand up for herself. They wanted to protect her, but they also knew that they wouldn't be around all the time. So instead of fending off people who might hurt her, they gave her the tools necessary to defend herself.

While her father and brothers taught her to be tough, her mother taught her to be classy and elegant. Her mother taught her to be sensitive to others and empathetic to their issues. She also taught her to love the softer things in life and made sure that Dina was aware that being a free-spoken woman didn't mean she couldn't embrace her childlike wonder or romantic side. Growing up in a well rounded environment allowed her to become the woman she is today - a lovely mix of sweet and sassy, confident and independent, caring but not too naive.

Dina did fairly well in school because there was always someone to ask for help when it came to her school work. What she didn't do well at, surprisingly, was social interaction. As outgoing as her family members seemed to be, Dina was a bit more on the reserved side in public and chose to stick to herself or the one or two friends she made that moved with her through school. Her parents worried a bit about her development, but eventually gave up, figuring she'd come into her own and break out of her shell when she was ready.

Dina was never really that rebellious teenager that would sneak out in the middle of the night, but she never did adhere to a curfew. She often came home later than she was supposed to only to get yelled at in the morning. She would excuse herself by telling them she had a poor sense of time, which didn't really work. Her parents were never awfully strict though, so they would forget about it later on. They knew she wasn't going out doing drugs. That was something she never experimented with.

Entering into high school was a bit scary for Dina. Everyone was talking about crushes on boys while she looked around and had crushes on boys and girls. Not knowing what she was feeling, she talked to her parents about it and they reassured her that they would love her no matter what. It allowed Dina to feel comfortable about exploring her feelings without worrying about if she would be unaccepted. After dating a few different people, she knew she was pansexual and felt comfortable with finally labeling herself.

When it came time to apply to college, Dina knew that she wanted to go into something that was in journalism. Her passion for telling stories kicked into high gear after spending her years in high school behind an anchor desk for the school's news, and getting the feel of what it would be like to be a broadcast journalist. After looking through her options, she settled on going to school in Missouri and eventually graduated with a bachelor's degree in journalism. Afterwards, she accepted an offer from a local station in Atlanta, Georgia where she worked hard to gain respect. In the mean time, she fell in love with Sunny Fletcher and soon found herself in a serious relationship. However, Dina called it quits after many years into their relationship when she began to feel like she was an afterthought to Sunny, not wanting to be in a relationship that mirrored her parents where she spent more time missing her partner than being with them.

Dina spent her first night after the breakup in bed, crying. She realized that she was terrified of being alone. Before the breakup, she felt like her life had been set in stone for her by Sunny's job and had too much pride to tell her ex-girlfriend how she really felt. But Dina looked at her life and kept pushing forward. Her mother started nagging her about the life that she had given up. Her father tried to support her as much as possible since she was still his little girl.

After spending many years in Atlanta, Dina felt like she needed a change of scenery to help her feel like herself again. She was ready to try to be happier in a place that didn't have memories tied to her ex. And so, Dina picked a spot on the map and drove to Seattle and wanted to make a name for herself. It wasn't long before she got a job offer to replace one of the evening news anchors who worked at King 5 News before she did. Dina moved into a small place in Finch Park and started subletting her place in Atlanta after she left it. Seattle was going to be her new home.

Now she's trying to make her life happier by going out and shedding the life she had in Atlanta. Granted, she sounds like a definite outsider in this big city. Maybe she would be better off staying in Atlanta and powering through it, but she has a plan. That plan: just be happier. Though, to be honest, asking her to describe how she truly feels at any given time would be a disaster and while she is always happy to put on the mask - whoever was necessary to be - it never feels completely natural. But she is good at hiding her emotions.

It's only been a year after their breakup and Dina is still feeling some remnants of their relationship. Dina is coping with life on her own and sometimes she gets mad at herself as she could have been making lifelong plans with Sunny by now, but she pulls herself together. And in this new environment, she's already working on getting the most out of the city. But there's one thing she forgot about Seattle before she took the leap... Sunny Fletcher also lives in the city.

HEADCANONS!

She's not a super great cook and when she knows she has to be a host, she brings home carry out and fixes them up a bit and makes them kinda fancy. Other than that, she's usually dining on takeout. That also means that she's looking forward to enjoying and exploring Seattle's exploding restaurant scene.

She really loves traveling - a bucket list goal of hers is to travel to each continent around the world.

She enjoys being active outside and exploring national and state parks. She loves hiking, and can't wait to explore more of the areas around Seattle.

Playing board games and visiting bars are common weekend activities for her.

She is a huge music fan - specifically 90s r&b! She grew up playing the piano and occasionally still finds time to play.

She's also is a huge sports fan. She follows Houston sports extensively, especially the Houston Rockets. When she isn't working, you can catch her with some sort of game on if she isn't at one in person.

She loves volunteering and is always looking to meet people around the community.

She grew up doing competitive dance and cheer. While in Georgia, her favorite activity was teaching contemporary and hip-hop-inspired routines at various dance studios in Atlanta and hopes to make that happen in Seattle.

Other activities she enjoys are working out, going to brunch, shopping and watching Netflix.

She has trouble expressing her emotions in a positive way. Meaning that she tends to avoid them and how she feels sometimes until they bottle up and explode, leading to arguments with loved ones where she doesn't have the words to express how she feels. She's a lot more sensitive than she lets on. The kind of person that would cry and then five minutes later be like "well, that was embarrassing as fucking shit, so let's never mention it again." So… she leaves. Which is how she ended up in Seattle, to be honest.

She will do anything if it's a dare/competition, case and point: reigning champion at an Atlanta restaurant for eating the most hot dogs in two minutes (and she's literally so proud about it).

Dina says she likes scary movies but actually ends up hiding her face in someone's chest for the entire movie… literally. She peeks out and then hides again. It's pathetic.

She used to help out with her grandmother's yard sales and would hustle people for twice their money on items that she had an attachment to.

(injury tw) Once broke her leg falling out of a tree she had climbed, and had her brothers decorate the cast with various doodles and drawings.

(nsfw tw) She has a sex toy collection, self explanatory.

likes: sunsets, journaling, mountains, audiobooks, homecooked meals, dancing, concerts, the spring season, oversized sweaters, found family, pizza, tea, word puzzles, solo dance parties, cheese, candles, nature, red wine, movie dates, hugs, spicy food, stargazing, new clothes, sushi, high heels, the beach, shared playlists, cats, gold jewelry, leftover chinese food.

dislikes: cooking, coffee, waffles, true crime tv shows, rainy days, driving, cherries, early mornings, intense and emotional conversations, socks, .

aspirations: make new friends in town, further her career in journalism, providing a platform for people to voice their concerns about their community, continue to report ethically while disseminating information people want to, need to, or ought to know.

pet-peeves: people who talk with their mouth full, people who don't respect service workers, people who don't use their manners, wearing wet clothes, waking up before her alarm clock, finding out she has lipstick on her teeth.

PLOTTING + WANTED CONNECTIONS

PLATONIC

Okay, so, Dina is new in town. She's extremely quiet, but she's friendly. She's not one to go out and actively search for people/friends, but she's an absolute sweetheart so she'd be more than open to friendships with as many people as possible. She works as an evening news anchor for King 5 News, but she spends most of her time in Seattle trying to make her life over, so really if anyone is willing to go out on a limb and make her their friend, she would literally do anything they want. That's just how she makes friends. Her friends, however, are going to have to be able to deal with someone who may literally lock herself in her house with a large pizza and not speak to anyone for days. Also, her friends will have to deal with her going a little overboard on making people happy. Overall, she has a good reputation and she's very affectionate and caring. Once someone is in her heart, they have a place in it forever.

While she can sometimes be a tad too intrusive, she rarely shares much about herself that she considers too 'heavy'. The kind of person that would suggest waving away issues instead of confronting them (or just jumping in headfirst without much thought), she's probably not the best person to go to for solid advice but she does a good enough job of making those she cares about feel better, even if it's only for a little while.

Surprisingly not that big on the party scene, but she does frequent such spaces since she likes having the company around, so she's probably gathered a fair amount of party friends during her stay here.

ANTAGONISTIC

As easy as it is for Dina to try and befriend people, it might be even easier for her to rub people the wrong way. Sometimes on purpose, sometimes not. And while it unfortunately isn't too hard for her to fall out of contact with friends, keeping enemies is something that she's far better at doing. She's got a knack for holding grudges and being a pain in the ass.

Peace, love, more tolerance… is what Dina would say if some people didn't make her eyes roll into the back of her head more times than she could count, if she bothered to count at all. Every now and again, Dina has these moments when she's so eager to argue with someone that she could jump into arguments she has no place being in, largely because she can never keep her opinions to herself. And why should she? In her mind, everything she says is brilliant and also the cold hard truth, and anyone that says otherwise should be ready to have Dina talk their ears off about how wrong they are. Plus, she has to flush out all that frustration she never addresses somehow, right?

ROMANTIC

Outside of going on dates here and there and maybe one or two one-night-stands, Dina hasn't really had too much of a love life since she moved to Seattle. Granted, she recently got out of a pretty serious relationship just a year ago. She is a hopeless romantic, so she wants to be swept off of her feet eventually. Also, her mom is jumping down her throat to just settle down and have kids, so she's probably going to be putting that off as much as humanly people.

I'm pretty open to any kind of connections, so hit me up on here or on Discord!

CONNECTIONS

FRIENDS - Dina is an easy person to get along with, she has a competitive streak, and hates admitting when she is wrong sometimes. She wants to have a group of friends that she can confide in when she needs to talk to someone. She can be serious most of time, especially with work, but she has a comedic side where she can be funny. They do almost everything together, go out to eat, going to concerts, exploring Seattle, and sporting events. These friends can be people that she has recently met or we can plot something else, etc.

I think they’ve lived in Seattle for [ ENTIRE LIFE ]. From what I’ve heard, they’re [ PERSEVERANT ], but once you’ve known them long enough you’ll find they can also be [ CUNNING ]. When I think of them, I usually think of [ SYMPATHY BY THE GOO GOO DOLLS ].

001. the basics

name: ezekiel thomas tandy.

gender: cis male.

sexual orientation: bisexual.

age: thirty-six.

birthday: august 21, 1986.

zodiac: leo.

birthplace: seattle, washington.

neighborhood: sudden valley.

time in seattle: entire life.

career: prosecuting attorney for the king county office.

002. familial

father: royce tilly.

mother: brandie tandy (née stevens).

siblings: sister ( posted wanted connection ) & brother ( thaddeus tandy ).

children: none.

pets: none.

002. background

royce and brandie tandy were thrilled upon the birth of ezekiel thomas tandy and all the happiness he brought into the world. growing up, there was never a day that he doubted his parents love for him. they were attentive, kind, and never failed to make him feel as if he could anything.

he'd never thought much of the little things until at the age of ten, his parents sat him and his sister down and broke the most exciting news that he'd ever heard. he was going to have a little brother and in that moment, zeke swore he'd protect the youngest tandy no matter what.

of course, that's a heavy commitment to make at such a young age, but he would have sworn that nothing could have changed his mind on that. at first, he was as in awe of thaddeus as everyone else was. it was just another thing that he and his sister bonded over, but they welcomed the newest addition with open arms.

his self-made promise came with consequences that he could never expected. he knew what it was like to have their parents staring down at them, always talking about how one day, their children would do something big with their lives. it was a lot of pressure to take, and in hopes of thadd never having to shoulder that, zeke took it on for himself.

as he got older, he noticed that things were different for him. while he'd been forced to finish out every hobby he'd ever tried, his younger brother wasn't held to the same standard. even at the age of twenty, when all he wanted was to drop out of the boxing course he'd signed up for through school, his father refused. some would have argued that at the age of twenty, he had the right to do whatever the hell he wanted, but zeke was adamant on making his father proud, even if that meant learning to throw a punch he'd never land.

with a little guidance from his father, he knew there was only one route to take. if he wanted to be the perfect son his parents had put so much time and energy into, then he needed follow a plan. he put everything into law school, volunteered his time around the city in every government building that would take him, and when it came time to fly on his own, he pulled every string he could.

upon starting his law career, he was fortunate enough to be hired on as an assistant at the king county prosecutor's office. it wasn't his dream, but it was a foot in the door. he was able to dive into law and has since stepped into another role. currently, he is one of many prosecutors employed by the king county prosecutor's office.

the only thing that comes before work is family, but everything else comes second or doesn't hold a candle to his profession.

004. potential connections

neighbors. zeke is a sudden valley resident and has lived there for about five years or so. he's known for hosting cookouts when the weather allows and has quite the friendly face. could be interested if someone owned the house next door and got to see the lesser seen sides of himself. the pacing through his home that can be seen through various open-curtain windows in the home, or someone who's had the luxury, or displeasure of hearing him taking a call from his backyard that got heated. could be fun!!

best friend. preferably, i'd like this connection to be someone's known for quite a long time. bonus points if they're close enough that this connection also has some kind of relationship with thadd. they'd know more about his family dynamic than he'd like, but that's the pro, or the con, of them being friends for as long as they've been.

fellow law associate(s). whether they're employed by the king county prosecutor's office or represent the opposite side of the courtroom, this could make for a good connection. bonus points if they've got a history of cases being tried against one another. which, is likely considering he's becoming the go-to name on the prosecuting side.

coffee companion. could be any muse that he has met, or will meet at a coffee shop. perhaps their orders were switched, or they swiped the wrong cup from the counter, but it leads to them seeing one another during their coffee breaks and can be built upon from there.

high school or college ex. someone who knew zeke before he was hired on at the king county office. how long this relationship lasted is completely up for discussion, but know that he ended things because he wasn't on the same page as her. he cared for her deeply, but he just didn't love her in the way that she claimed to love him. this was a bad breakup because rather than actually explain how he felt, he dropped the line 'we should see other people' and left it at that. could make for a fun connection, but would definitely require a lot of plotting.

[jvmieisms]

ariana grande | she / her | female | Have you met JAMISON "JAMIE" RIZZOLI yet? They’re the TWENTY-NINE year old MORTICIAN that lives around SUDDEN VALLEY. I think they’ve lived in Seattle for TWENTY-NINE YEARS. From what I’ve heard, they’re UNDERSTANDING but they can also be STUBBORN if you get on their bad side. When I think of them, I usually think of GETTING NOWHERE FAST by girls at our best.

BASICS

name: jamison cosette rizzoli nickname: jamie birthday: june 26, 1993 parents: rosa and guisseppe rizzoli siblings: guisseppe jr (37), rosita (35), leo (32), twin (29), carlo (20), gino (14), melina (10), melinda (10), mikey (6), carlita (6) children: piper brookelle (13, born november 16, 2009)

APPEARANCE

hair: brunette, naturally curly (sometimes straightened and dyed blonde), hip-length eyes: brown height: 4'11" weight: 94 - 110 tattoos: canon to ariana grande piercings: three in each earlobe, an industrial in her right ear, a daith and conch in her left ear, a nose stud, left eyebrow, tongue, bellybutton, and vertical clitoral piercing scars: random childhood scars from falls, one on her stomach from an appendectomy, one down her left arm from getting hardware put in due to a broken arm as a child

TIDBITS

she goes by jamie and only jamie. if you call her jamison, she'll correct you. if you're still calling her jamison, she'll ignore you until you call her jamie

she's the 5th born child out of 11 kids, born 13 seconds after her twin. her siblings ages range from 6 at the youngest to 37 at the oldest and there are three sets of twins (herself and twin included)

loves having her younger siblings over for fun sleepovers

she became a mother at 16 years old. she was (and still is) friends with benefits with her best friend, they had a lapse in common sense, and piper brookelle was born roughly 10 months later on november 16th, 2009. they're still the best of friends and they co-parent really well together. they live right next door to each other and their houses are on the same property, so piper can come and go as she pleases. jamie and baby daddy have keys to each others houses and you bet your ass jamie is constantly barging in to annoy him (unless she knows he has someone over, like a hookup or a girlfriend / boyfriend / partner - she does have some respect, yanno)

her entire family has been morticians almost since the industry was invented. they've always worked out of their house, which is also a funeral parlor! the house has been handed down each generation to the new rizzoli that decided to stay in the industry, and jamie was the one that inherited it this time! her parents moved into the guest house thats in the backyard, so they're still around and still work in the parlor area, but have their own space

has gone on several dates but finds it hard to start an actual relationship with anyone because 1) she has a child and not everyone likes children and 2) she is head over hills in love with her daughter's father

although she's 29, she's still very teen-like in the way that she's free spirited and wild and carefree. molly loves parties. those parties can get a little loud, but she's really good about shutting it down if a neighbor asks her to quiet down

very respectful, but if she gets attitude, she gives it right back and amplifies it

jamie loves kids. any kids of her friends, she automatically dubs as her nieces and nephews. she'll offer to babysit anytime

if she considers you a friend, you're her family, end of story

piper was born completely deaf in one ear and 50% deaf in the other ear, so jamie immediately got to working on learning sign language, and now she can sign in american sign language and italian sign language

she's obsessed with space, broadway musicals, all things spooky, and the human anatomy

was diagnosed with autism when she was 7. only her closest friends know about it. her diagnosis isn't super obvious, but if you know the classifications and symptoms, you might be able to tell if you watch her closely enough

she knows a little bit about a lot of things

can be pretty spontaneous. she'll burst into song out of nowhere, she'll dance in place, she'll talk to herself randomly

loves to read. she's had to buy several copies of her favorite books because she's read them so many times and they've fallen apart

her christmas tree stays up all year round. the ornaments get taken off and put away, but the tree stays lit up. it's a white fiber optic lit tree and it's her favorite decoration in the world. she even has a mini one in her bedroom as her nightlight

terrified of the dark. she doesn't like to be out past dark, but she's less stressed about it when she's with a friend

the hoest of hoes! she sleeps around. guys, gals, those that aren't either guys or gals, their moms and dads, their brothers and sisters, their best friends... if you point to someone, she can answer yes or no. "oh, him. august 7th, 2019... he had a thing about bladder control, i almost pissed my pants. dipped out, never talked to him again. my bladder has rights and she comes before i do."

don't you ever tell her that unicorns aren't real. "so we have narwhals... the unicorns of the sea... but you say actual unicorns aren't real? fake fan. we don't need your negativity."

has a little bit of red foreman in her personality

to truly sum her up... her entire personality is an 80's mixtape

she has a very mixed clothing style. sometimes she's all prepped up if she's going out somewhere nice, but on her downtime, she's usually wearing ripped jeans, converse, a grungey band tee, black lipstick and eyeshadow, and her hair is usually flying all over the place (it's down to her knees, it's hard to manage)

COMMON PHRASES

"do as i say, not as i do."

"get outta here."

"what the fuck?"

"what's that supposed to mean?"

"stop leaving your dirty socks on the floor."

"don't irritate me."

[avipersaud]

SOME BASIC STATS

Name: Avi Persaud.

Age: Thirty-Two.

Gender: cis male, he/him.

Sexuality: Bisexual.

Birthday: March 15th, 1990.

Location: Seattle, Washington.

Birthplace: Seattle, Washington.

Career: Advertising Graphics and Marketing Freelancer.

ABOUT HIS LIFE

( tw pregnancy )

Avi Persaud would be the first one to tell anyone that there wasn't anything special to tell about his life. He was born to two loving parents in a cute home on a neighborly street by a good school in Seattle, Washington. But the truth was, his past just wasn't something he wanted to talk about. Sure, he was born to loving parents in a loving home, but the moment his dad walked out of their yellow front door, everything changed. He watched his mom struggle to keep them afloat as he grew up, taking on odd jobs as soon as he was able to to contribute and care for his mom the way she cared for him.

The days he'd spent drawing with sticks in the mud and chalk on the sidewalk throughout his childhood, an actual talent for putting a marker to paper, was traded for something more reasonable as he worked his way through college, coming out on the other end with a marketing degree. It wasn't much, but it allowed him to get some low ladder sales job to take care of himself and his mom.

The big break came when two of his friends, brothers with big dreams and not so bad ideas, came to him with a pitch for an app and a request to borrow some of Avi's unused artistic talent. Not thinking much of it, he helped out and continued on with his nine to five office job to bring in a consistent paycheck. The day the app took off and the brothers showed up with his cut felt otherworldly, Avi having no clue what to do with the money outside of putting it in a savings account and allowing it to collect interest while he processed what he had achieved.

And while the money stayed in that account for years, he found himself having more courage to abandon his office job in sales and combining his passion for art and his knowledge for marketing, chasing after his dream, with the successful app on his resume, and finally achieving it. His work started for local companies but eventually grew to catch the attention of a larger scale of clientele, some of the most notable brands coming to him for his advertising art in logos, graphics, and commercials.

It was only after he'd had his daughter, Mila, (leaving his history with the mother up for discussion with her wanted connection) that Avi touched the money in his savings, pulling out just enough for a safe SUV and a new family home in Sudden Valley, one with a separate suite for his mom, who helps him care for his Mila as her mother left soon after she was born, and a decently sized backyard for his daughter to grow up in.

With his career blooming in ways he couldn't imagine, mostly working freelance jobs so he could work on his own schedule from home, and his mom traveling often to stay with a man she was now dating in another state, Avi ventured back into the dating world and met Aksel, a woman he found himself having a difficult time not falling for, even introducing her to his then two year old daughter, things seemingly going amazing until they weren't, the woman abruptly putting a stop to things and taking his heart with her.

The last year brought about a lot of changes for Avi, including his daughter's mother coming back into their lives and moving in with him as they decided to try (and are currently failing) to make a relationship work for their daughter.

HEADCANONS

Even though Avi's father walked out of their lives through a yellow painted door, he still agreed to paint his own door yellow when his three year old daughter recently requested the color because it made her happy, healing some of his childhood trauma in the process.

His coffee order is a grande hot cappuccino. He finds the premade dispensable ones from gas stations okay, but always spends a few extra dollars on ones from the coffee shop when he needs a pick me up (and always spares a cake pop for Mila when he makes the trip).

BACKGROUND.

**trigger warnings for toxic parenting

Born in the town of Presque Isle, one of the northermost cities in Maine, Fiona grew up in the dark and the cold and surrounded by nature

She spent a lot of her time exploring the abundant forests and rivers and ravines of Aroostook County as a kid, both with friends and by herself. She was chronically coming home with scrapes and bruises; it was nearly tradition at her grammar schools that at least once per year Fiona Osman would end up in a cast that everyone signed

She didn’t have bad parents in the way some of her friends had bad parents – in fact, her parents weren’t really bad at all on the surface. Her mom was a third-grade teacher at one of the local elementary schools and her dad was head of HR at a bank. They were nice people and, for the most part, chill parents. Her friends always liked coming to her house because no one was yelling at them for making a mess and often her mom or dad, whoever was home, was even willing to do projects with them and take them fun places or out hiking

The problem with Fiona’s parents was that her dad had another side, and it wasn’t a nice one. Usually a pleasant personality to be around, when he got in moods the best thing to do was steer clear, which Fiona was pretty good at doing but her older brother was not. She witnessed a million fights between them that she typically tried to stay out of, but it always made her feel sick to see it and to feel, on her end, that their dad was being a dick. One of the worst parts of it was that their mom always, without fail, took their dad’s side – something Fiona thinks in retrospect was because she was afraid of him turning it on her

It created a lot of deep-seated issues. Her older brother began seeing their dad only for his bad side, whereas Fiona started seeing him as two different people: the fun dad who watched movies with her and took her on outings and showed her all his favorite music, and the man with an irrational temper who couldn’t be talked out of his bad moods. Not knowing which of them she would get each day and having that unreliability in a parent she was sometimes scared of gave her some trauma she’s never really explored

At sixteen, Fiona’s grandma in Seattle broke her hip and didn’t recover well enough to be able to get back to taking care of her husband whose dementia had been growing more severe over the last few months. Her dad went out there to help out for about a month before the decision was made that the whole family would be uprooting and moving across the country so they could be nearby. This was, of course, the worst possible news to Fiona and her brother, who had friends and a life in Presque Isle

Fiona adjusted okay – she’d always been social and made friends relatively easily, and she understood on a logical level why they had to move, but it didn’t stop it from being hard going to a brand new high school on the other side of the country. It was even worse for her brother, who was a senior at that point with not only a close friend group but a girlfriend he was in love with. He held it against their dad, who – with the added stress of his parents’ situation on top of his penchant for taking his anger out on his loved ones – didn’t handle the whole thing very well and was not quite understanding or compassionate about it the way he should have been. In private their mom sometimes sympathized with them, but she never stood up to defend them when Fiona or her brother got into it with their dad

As she’s gotten older, Fiona’s grown further from her parents. Her mom is significantly less bright and happy than she used to be when the kids were little and her dad has remained the same as he always was

Her grandpa passed about five years ago and her grandma just last year, but they never moved back to Maine

After high school, Fiona went to community college and received her Associate’s degree simply because she wasn’t really sure what else to do and didn’t have the desire to go to a regular university like most of the people at her school. Following that, she wound up working the front desk at a dentist’s office for a while before deciding it was draining her soul of life and found a job doing front desk work at a women’s health clinic, which at least felt like she was part of a good cause

She had a couple boyfriends in high school and her first girlfriend in community college, but she tends to sleep around mostly with no urgent desire to be in a relationship until she finds someone who really gets her excited

HEADCANONS.

[allegranardi]

Name: Allegra Sofia Nardi Nicknames: Allie Gender/Pronouns: Cis-Female, her/hers Age: 26 Birthday: June 11th, 1996 Zodiac: Gemini Sun, Virgo Rising, Pisces Moon Hometown: Rome, Italy Neighborhood: West Point Homes, Seattle Occupation: A bartender (architect) Sexuality: Heterosexual. Relationship status: Dating Rhett Matthews Positive traits: innovative, fearless, reliable Negative traits: reckless, impulsive, jealous

tw: alcohol, drugs.

Born to an Italian mother and an American father in the beginning of what would be an incredibly hot Italian summer, Allegra spent the first three years of her life in Rome living in a small, yet a happy family of three - her mom, her older brother & herself. And what about her dad? Well, her parents were in a long distance relationship that started during her mother’s college years in the States. Her father couldn’t move to Rome because he was a DEA agent, while her mother never wanted to live in the States. However, when her mother had finally decided to move the small family to New York so that they could all finally be together, her parents decided to break up.. after seven months of living together. And New York was nothing like Rome, not even close.. but it became a home. 

Friendly as she was, Allegra had managed to find herself a great set of friends and hobbies that made her life much sweeter in The Big Apple. Yet it was one hobby that managed to stand out - ballet. And she was dancing till she was seventeen years old, even dreaming of turning pro one day. A talented dancer, Allegra was spending all of her time in the ballet classroom till her toes would be literally bleeding, but she didn’t care about the pain or the tears - it was all she wanted to do. However all good things must come to an end, don’t they? A sudden knee injury prevented her from turning into a professional ballet dancer.. Allegra had never really recovered from her dream shattering into a million pieces.

Considering there was no future for her in the world of ballet, Allegra enrolled into the Columbia University majoring in History of Art & Architecture. Whether she wanted to work as an architect or not was not so much important to her as her days were filled with partying. To forget the pain caused by the loss of her dream, the girl could be found at every damn party, numbing herself to the point of not knowing who she was. Drinking wasn’t an enemy of hers, but a very dear friend, just as doing drugs wasn’t unknown to her. But she had it under control, didn’t she? It was during the weekends only, and to be fair, it wasn’t even every weekend - well, not anymore. And perhaps she couldn’t even remember when was the last time she even took something. But how many times had she woken up not remembering anything at all? Or the times she had found herself lying next to the unknown men in unknown bedrooms? She never cared about anyone except having fun.. it was all she wanted to do.

But it all come to an end when she met a certain blond musician - Rhett Matthews. It didn’t take them long to hook up, with both more than keen to just have fun, but it took them quite long to confess to themselves and each other there was more to the two of them than just sex. From the meaningless kisses to the days & nights spent together not wanting to let each other go.. they fell in love. And boy, did they fall - it was one of those I-can’t-live-without-you loves.. the one they had no control over whatsoever, so it wasn’t surprising that Allegra decided to pack her suitcases and move to Seattle with Rhett. No questions asked.. the bottom line was, all she wanted was to be with him.

Birthday: June 15th

Zodiac: Gemini

Occupation: Currently unemployed, but a struggling musician

Hometown: Cambridge, England

Current Location: Seattle, Washington

Sexuality: Pansexual

Relationship status: Dating Allegra Nardi

About Rhett:

TW: Drug use, drug abuse, suicidal thoughts, suicide attempt, and drug overdose (TW bullet points will be italicized)

Rhett Matthews was born on June 15th, 1991. He was the the oldest of 7. He had two sisters and 4 brothers. His sisters and two of his brothers were twins.

His parents had to spend most of their time working to pay the bills, so Rhett devoted much of his time to watching over his siblings growing up.

When he wasn’t doing that, he spent all his other time learning how to play music, drawing and painting. Rhett was a very artistically gifted boy. He was far beyond his years when it came to playing music, as well as drawing.

Over his youth, Rhett learned how to play the guitar, piano, bass guitar, cello, violin, trumpet and the drums. His favorites to play were guitar and piano, however, so he mostly focused on those when he could.

His parents always encouraged Rhett to pursue whatever he wanted so he put all his effort into music. Rhett began to write his own songs when he was around twelve years old and never looked back.

When Rhett was twenty years old, he said goodbye to Cambridge and moved to New York City, knowing that his best chance to get on a label was to move to America. And what better place was there than America?

For about a year, he worked odd jobs around the city, saving up every single penny he could so he could rent a recording studio. It was hard, but he managed it and got himself a studio for 3 hours. In those three hours, Rhett put his heart and soul in a demo that he truly believed was going to take him places.

Rhett sent the single out to label, after label, after label and for two years, he hadn’t heard a single response from any of them. He was starting to get discouraged and was starting to think that his dream was dead. But Rhett continued to play at local clubs, just wanting to play music.

Slowly, but surely, responses started to trickle in about his demo and every single response he got, was a denial. None of the labels thought he was a good fit.

Rhett fell into a depression. He wasn’t able to get himself out of bed. Every day it was harder to want to want to be there. Rhett truly thought that he was meant to play music and he was meant to be a rockstar…and without that, he was nothing. Rhett couldn’t dare to think about it.

He attempted to end his life by hanging himself but fortunately for Rhett, his roommate at the time came home and caught him just in time.

For weeks, he still didn’t budge from his bed. He just wallowed. He had a few friends from his local music scene visit him and one in particular knew that Rhett was struggling and offered him a hit of cocaine to try and ease the pain. Having nothing to lose, Rhett obliged and that was his first introduction to drugs.

From there, he quickly spiraled into addiction. He started with cocaine, then moved to smoking crack and once that lost its luster, Rhett found heroin. He has been using it ever since.

After a while, Rhett was finally able to start living his life again, getting random small jobs around town just to make some cash so he could support his lifestyle.

Rhett had missed paying his roommate rent for several months and he was kicked out of his home. With nowhere to go, Rhett lived on the streets for a short time before he found himself living at a homeless shelter. He spent a few months there before he found an ad in the newspaper about an old woman needing a hands-on roommate to take care of her home. Much to his surprise, the ad hadn’t been filled and the old woman, named Rosa, agreed to let Rhett live with her without pay as long as he did all the manual labor of taking care of the home. She was just too old to do it herself anymore.

For a while, Rhett was dating a man named Rafael who he was madly in love with. However, Rafael couldn’t deal with his drug addiction and he broke up with Rhett. After a few months of fighting and begging, Rhett eventually agreed to go to rehab for the man. However, when he finally agreed, Rafael disappeared into the night without a word, leaving Rhett alone again. The pain of his love disappearing without a word led him to overdose once again.

From there, he just continued to survive as an addict, partying, sometimes making money from gigs. Through his partying, however, he met Allegra Nardi and for months, they beat around the bushes with one another. Rhett was afraid to fall in love again, but he did it anyway and fell head over heels for her. 

However, Rhett’s addiction never waned and he was so far in debt with his dealer that the two of them decided to leave New York City and move across the country to Seattle. It was the only thing they could think of to do while he worked on getting money to pay off his dealer.

father: royce tandy

siblings: ezekiel tandy (brother, 36), one older sister (wc)

TL;DR.

thaddeus icabod tandy (tit, if you will) was born on june 18th, 1996 as the surprise third and final child to brandie and royce tandy

despite not being a planned addition, thaddeus never knew anything but unconditional love growing up

though there was always a nagging feeling in the back of his mind that he was lagging behind almost, riding the coattails of his older siblings and their found successes while never truly being held accountable for his constantly abandoned committments and extracurriculars, as if no expectations were really had for him

just average in school, uninterested in sports, trying on new clubs and fixations only to discard them just as quickly--it isn't until thaddeus enters his freshman year of high school that he finds himself enrolled in marching band that something sticks for the first time

what started off merely as a way to get out of running the mile every monday in normal gym glass manages to click with thaddeus in a way that nothing had before, placed on his high school's drumline and competing in state competitions three out of four school years

his interest in the drums grew outside of marching band, being gifted a set for his fifteenth birthday, and thadd absolutely threw himself into learning how to play them outside of his school's fight song (go bulldogs!)

graduated high school with no clear idea of what the fuck he was doing with his life, and as much as his parents loved him, their generosity towards his whimsies just about ended at paying for a college education he wasn't even sure how he'd put to use

continued to fuck around seattle, mooch off his parents a little longer, working whatever odd jobs would come up as they came up, and playing the drums in a local garage band until one day, he was asked to sub in for another band's upcoming show

comprised of past high school classmates, it was clear after that one gig that thadd was the missing piece they'd been looking for, a perfect fit. it was only after joining and being inspired by their frontman's passion that he began to seriously consider music as a future

did it pay the bills then? no. is it paying them now? still no, though they are on their way to becoming what he considers "seattle famous", so he barbacks on the side--a gig scored for him by his roommate

simply a very laidback, easy going dude, with little to no real direction, and as long as nobody brings it up, then he's fine! it's fine! everything's fine!

Full Name: Baz Howlett.

Nicknames: Baz.

Pronouns and Gender: He/Him, Cis Male.

Birth place: Seattle, Washington.

How long have they been in town?: His whole life.

Sexuality: Bisexual.

Housing: Swindelbrook St. Apartments.

Occupation: Mechanic.

Family: 1 younger sibling.

tws for death, violence, crime

QUICK OVERVIEW:

Ghoulish grown man that stemmed from being a tearaway teen, yup yup.

Fell into a bad crowd in high school and got involved in some dodgy ass business. Very much was and still is a big fan of quick cash. Would be the perfect mark for being recruited for an MLM if he didn't lack patience the way he does.

Not a violent guy by any means but he def got a little too big for his boots when money started  rolling in and pissed off the wrong people.

Joyriding since before he could even drive properly, was the fastest fucker when it came to stripping cars for parts which is why when he ended up going straight being a mechanic was about the only thing he could think to do that didn’t make him want to die of boredom. Though when he actually has to do his job, he does find himself veering pretty close.

Broke his mothers heart several times over with his life choices and his attitude and his dad always likes to remind him that thats what killed her (more aptly it was a stroke, but that doesn't mean those words still don't land).

Was the sole person with his best friend when he was killed over a drug dispute that went from an argument to a shooting and took off when he heard sirens. Never disclosed that to anyone and never got over it either.

Still wonders if he could have done something more that night to actually save him - kinda shut down for a long time over that, has done absolutely fuck all to process it really. Carrying that around still feels as real for him as helping carry the coffin at the funeral.

Very much uncomfortable with everything about himself and his life, most likely hasn't felt genuine joy in years.

Suffers from a terminal case of seeming out of place and disinterested.

If he cares then he cares but he’s just not the best at making that translate.

Got married on a whim during a two week stint of trying to live life to the max and is still trying to finalise that divorce.

PERSONALITY.

+ innovative, independent, methodical.

- disrespectful, selfish, untrustworthy.

FUN ADJACENT FACTS.

Swindelbrook St. Apartments anti even though he lives there, can’t stand the ruckus that’s always being caused by the 20 somethings that live there.

Drives a shitty car, especially for a mechanic, but he spends way too much time under the hood of everyone else’s to get caught up in that.

Thinks Grace and Frankie is the greatest show ever made. Jane Fonda stan for life.

Online menace!!!! Has a number of burner accounts on twitter so he can harass local politicians and dox Karens who've pissed him off at the garage.

Veers close to online identity theft at time if he really doesn't like someone because he'll make a burner with their name and image and start tweeting a stream of consciousness that usually gets him a fact check warning of a suspension.

Not materialistic but does wish he had a lawn so he could tell you to get off it.

[zerolawrence]

Have you met ZERO LAWRENCE yet? They’re the THIRTY-ONE year old BARTENDER that lives around SWINDELBROOK ST. APARTMENTS. I think they’ve lived in Seattle for ELEVEN MONTHS. From what I’ve heard, they’re ASSERTIVE, but once you’ve known them long enough you’ll find they can also be FICKLE. When I think of them, I usually think of THOROUGHFARE by ETHEL CAIN. 

name: zero lawrence.

gender: cis male.

sexual orientation: bisexual.

age: thirty-one.

birthday: december 14th.

zodiac: sagittarius.

birthplace: rye, east sussex.

neighborhood: swindlebrook street.

time in seattle: eleven months.

occupation: bartender.

HISTORY.

with a name like zero, it was hard for strangers not to have low expectations of him growing up. though the same could never be said about his parents — despite the fact they only named him zero due to being told that was their chances of having children on several different occasions by medical professionals.

even with their ironic and unusual choice of name for him, zero's parents only ever showered their little boy with love and affection, encouraging and supporting his every endeavour. zero was always taught he could do anything he set his mind to, a mindset he still carries around with him to this day.

zero's childhood was spent running up and down cobbled streets, begging his father to bury him up to his head on the beach of camber sands during summer holidays and staring outside his bedroom window wondering what lay beyond his small town's tiny borders

as much as zero loved his parents and his small town growing up, by the age of seventeen he knew small town life would never be enough for him. he wanted to travel, meet new people, experience the kind of love his father had for his mother and go on an adventure. when he was twenty one, he finally left his parents and east sussex behind with only one destination in mind — america. zero had spent his childhood obsessed with american sitcoms, falling in love with cities like the big apple, the windy city and the emerald city.

he purchased a one way ticket to new york with the money he had saved from his job at his local pub from the age of nineteen, leaving behind everyone and the life he knew. zero had left home with enough savings to last him several months before he would need to start looking for work. when his funds finally did start running low, he picked up a job in a diner where he would eventually meet the first great love of his life — or so he thought.

zero fell for this person fast and he fell hard, before he knew it they were making plans to drive across the country and exploring every nook and cranny together and for nine months that's what they did; driving across the country, sleeping in the back of their pick-up truck when they couldn't afford a motel, eating at every 24 hour diner they could find. it was the exact reason zero had wanted to leave home for in the first place. everything was perfect between them — or so he thought.

one morning zero awoke to learn they had disappeared and so was every dollar he had to his name. when he tried calling their cell phone, the only voice on the other end was one to inform the caller that this number was no longer in service. what he thought had been a whirlwind romance for him, had been a long-con for them. the only thing they had left him was their old pick-up truck, which zero immediately hopped in and headed further out west to texas — only for his truck to breakdown in albuquerque. with no money to take it to a repair shop, he decided on making alburquerque a pit stop so he could find a job and save up enough money to buy a another car and hit the road again.

it was between the ages twenty four to thirty that zero spent bussing tables in dallas, bartending at dive bars in nashville, working on a ranch in wyoming, spending some time in montana to see the rocky mountains and yellowstone national park and working blue-collar jobs in oregon. zero doesn't stay anywhere for too long, he's always searching for his next adventure, chasing that next high and his latest has lead him to seattle, washington. where he's spent the eleven months bartending at a strip club named the doghouse. out of all the jobs he's worked over the years, bartending is his favourite despite the unusual work hours. it allows him to meet people from all other the country, sometimes even the world and learn a piece of their story.

PERSONALITY.

+ assertive, captivating, dexterous, maverick and resilient. - airy, fickle, reticent, soft headed and opinionated.

TIDBITS.

his favourite song to workout to is confident by demi lovato.

this is one of his genuine messages from grindr, he still hasn't emotionally recovered.

Full Name: Buddy August Wells.

Nicknames: B, Bud, The BAWS (that one's self-given and he's the only one who thinks it's funny).

Pronouns and Gender: He/Him, Cis Male.

Birthday: August 2nd, 1996.

Birth place: Seattle, Washington.

How long have they been in town?: His whole life.

Sexuality: Bisexual.

Housing: Swindelbrook Apartments.

Occupation: Dog-walker / stripper.

Family: 3 older sisters, 1 older brother.

triggers for bio: cancer tw, death tw, emotional neglect tw

QUICK OVERVIEW:

Like most newborns, Buddy came into the world nameless. However, that namelessness stretched on for days and weeks after he was brought home from the hospital. The last born (and least wanted, if you asked him) of five, he was another pull on his already stretched-too-thin parents.

He was just Buddy while his mom and dad cycled through and trialed a variety of names, some lasting hours, the longest being 2 days (Matthew). When they couldn't settle on one, Buddy just stuck.

The lack of effort directed to something as important as his name was something Buddy felt his whole life. His oldest sibling had already moved on to starting her own life by the time he came along, and his parents hadn't mastered how to make their passion for changing the problems around them work in tandem with raising their children. Feeling adrift became the norm for him.

Despite feeling somewhat disconnected from the family unit around him, Buddy found it easy to form his own connections outside of the home -- he slotted in easily in most social circles in school, which continued into his teens and adulthood.

Always cared a lot about being a good friend, even when he wasn't always a good person.

Dated around in high school and his early twenties, the whole concept of settling down freaks him out some so he tends to cut ties before things get too far.

Has had 2 serious relationships in his life, one of which ended just over a year ago.

Skipped going to college despite having offers, and instead found himself in an entry level job at twenty-two in Seattle Bank.

Intended to make something of a career out of it and stuck it out, until he ended up getting fired a year and a half ago for a series of unapproved absences.

Those absences were a direct consequence of his father's illness. When August Wells was diagnosed with cancer, the only people he told were his wife and his youngest son, making the pair of them promise to not tell anyone else in the family.

The responsibility was one he didn't know how to shoulder, though he tried his best. He never missed taking him to an appointment or to treatment, and even in his final days he still couldn't bring himself to pick up the phone and ask his siblings for help.

Took his father's death incredibly hard. That and his recent unemployment sent his life freefalling.

Tried out a number of different minimum wage jobs, until he found dogwalking was the only schedule he could keep to due to it being one he made himself.

Stripping, on the other hand, fell into his lap -- ba dum tsh -- thanks to a combination of too much time at the gym to clear his head and a lack of inhibitions. Does some work at a strip club called The Doghouse, but mostly makes his money on hired events like bachelorette parties and birthdays.

PERSONALITY.

+ sociable, funny, loyal.

- insular, apathetic, distant.

FUN ADJACENT FACTS.

Calls the dogs that he walks Buddy's buddies. Has an instagram page for it that's just snaps he takes when he has them out. It's moderately popular due to how cute the dogs are.

Volunteers helping look after guide dogs in training. He thinks they're dope, and it's one of the few consistencies in his life currently.

Will not answer to the name Magic Mike.

Buddy walking dogs is just the energy of this pic.

People he's stripped for. Make it rain fr.

People who's dogs he walks. Give Buddy his buddies. 🐶

Someone he was close to and then cold cut out after his dad's death. Hella potential for angst. Maybe a little Banshees of Inisherin inspired given they wouldn't have known why he turned on them so suddenly.

Open to him having a roommate if your muse is based in Swindelbrook also!

Someone (or someones?) who's relationship he was part of ruining. Buddy doesn't care much about the relationship status of folks he goes home with. He's just a lil messy like that.

His older brother and his other 2 older sisters. I'm not above begging.
