BACKGROUND INFORMATION
logan anthony davies was born on a sunny day in the month of may at new york presbyterian hospital to an ex victoria secret model and an mvp new england patriots football player. the cloudless sky meant that he was going to be such a sweet and bright child, at least that’s what his mother tells him, and somehow, he was. he wasn’t a fussy baby, he didn’t cry too much at night, and he never picked on his older sisters, and he learned to walk at early age. he was and is basically the light of his mothers life, her baby, her golden child, her last child.
instead of private high school, he went to public school, his parents believing that their children needed a normal education, also because they lived in new york city. they needed to get used to the busy streets of new york. it was basically a right of passage to ride the a train to school for every new yorker. if you didn’t ride the train to school and get harassed for spare change, did you really go to school in new york?
he had a pretty healthy childhood as he grew older. they would attend football games here and there, host super bowl parties, his parents were present during their seasons, and they tried to travel together as often as possible. at the age of three, he was giving a hockey stick and a football, the young boy choice the hockey stick and while disappointing his father, he has loved it ever since. it was at the age of 5, when his father was diagnosed with CTE after what would become his last game that things began to take a turn for the worse.
being diagnosed with CTE practically ended his fathers football career and anthony davies delved deep into depression and alcoholism. because of CTE and the alcoholism, he became incredibly ill and aggressive towards his wife and children, yelling and screaming at them, punching at walls. while he never touched them, his wife, natasha davies, feared that one day he would and she decided it was time to walk away from the marriage. natasha sought help for her husband, and served him with divorce papers after six months of living apart. while the kids didn’t understand at the time, they came to realize later in life that their mother only did what she thought was right.
natasha could never bring herself to keep the children away from their father completely. at first, they were having supervised visits, but as he started going to AA, the supervised visits stopped and the kids started having two birthdays, two christmases, two easters, etc.
at the age of eighteen, logan decided to go live with his father and thus found out he wasn’t exactly as clean as he said he was. he started helping him, pushing him to stop drinking, taking care of the things around the upper east side apartment. he found out his father had practically blown away a lot of money on gambling, and was late on almost all of his bills. at nineteen, he was practically his fathers accountant, house keeper, and he decided to take a break from college, back then having started his first semester at suffolk.
throughout four years, he balanced his fathers checkbook, took care of him, worked as a high school junior coach and at a diner, although he didn’t really need to, and he watched his father get better. on his fathers second year sober, logan decided it was time to go back to school and resumed his education at suffolk university.
PERSONALITY
being that he was raised by a woman and two sisters, he tries to be someone his mother is proud of. he is kind and caring, but he tends to also have an explosive side to him that only comes out when he’s kept things in for way too long. he’s quite impulsive when it comes to things he wants to do, or feel he has to do. he didn’t think twice about leaving school to take care of his father. once something is in his head, he has to do it. a lot of his impulsivity is seen when it comes down to taking care of the people he loves. he’s not afraid to do things to get people out of trouble. he drops everything once he’s given a call.
AESTHETICS
drinking orange juice straight from the bottle, ice hockey sticks adorning his wall, making someone a playlist of songs that reminds him of them, constant netflix binges, red marks on exams, coffee cups lying around his room, big bear hugs, headphones instead of airpods, the smell of dior sauvage, bathroom walls with foggy mirrors because he forgets to turn the fan on. ( will think of more later)

it’s elle again! took me longer than I thought it would, but i’m here with the bio of my second son, harley. he’s my newest oc; i’ve had him for about a year, but i didn’t get to rp much during that time. i’m fluent in asl, so harley has a special place in my heart. usually my gifs that include him signing won’t actually match the signs up to what he’s saying, but this one does. he’s signing ‘hello, my name is....’ so it felt like an appropriate intro post.
[ chella man, genderqueer trans man, 21, he/him ] did you see who just walked in? it was that JUNIOR, the ╳ + HARDWORKING AND - DISORGANIZED ╳ one? you know, the one who lives at SONTHENA HALL, HARLEY HUA! i heard they are majoring in ART and they can’t wait to get out of here to BECOME AN ILLUSTRATOR. crap! stop staring, here they come!
name. harley hua hometown. detroit, mi major. art (illustration) birthday. may 27th, 2000 gender. trans man, genderqueer orientation. pansexual religion. jewish languages. english, asl, some cantonese and french hobbies. cheerleading, drawing, comic books
[ BIO ] [ tw. gender dysphoria ]
harley was born hard of hearing, although it wasn’t discovered until he was six. his audiologist discouraged his parents from teaching him sign, saying he would stop talking and stunt his language skills, so he grew up using his hearing aid and filling in the gaps with lipreading.
his yearly hearing tests showed he was gradually going deaf. he kept getting stronger hearing aids and being able to catch less and less of what was happening around him. the expectation was that he would get better at reading lips, but that only got him so far (only 30% of the English language is visible on the mouth!)
he had been a social kid, but he slowly withdrew into art. there, he could create anything he wanted. he often drew superheroes, or just ‘regular’ civilians (usually men). for a few years, harley took a sketch book and at least three graphic pencils everywhere he went.
in middle school, harley was eligible for a cochlear implant. his parents urged for him to get implanted, but decided to let him make the decision himself. he found a way to compromise with them; he agreed to get the surgery, but in exchange his parents agreed to pay for him and his brother to take ASL classes.
once activated, the implant was an immediate change. the world sounded different through it than what harley remembered, but he could understand his teachers and classmates better than he had in a very long time. he was able to join in again, and went from the kid scribbling in a notebook alone to being very outgoing. once he was able to use an ASL interpreter in classes, his confidence and grades shot up.
in high school, harley was very popular. it didn’t take long for his friends to give him a makeover, convincing him to throw out his baggy tshirts and most of his jeans, in favor of more feminine pieces. mini skirts, heels and crop tops (at least, when he could sneak them past his parents). he grew out his short hair to better hide his cochlear implants, smiling and nodding when he couldn’t keep up in conversations instead of drawing attention to his deafness. for the first time in his life he fit in, and he didn’t want to remind people that he was different.
(tw: dysphoria) but something was different, and it wasn’t his cochlear implants or the fact he was one of the only asian kids at his predominately white high school. something about the way he looked bothered him. he would often stare at himself in the mirror, and he knew the girl staring back at him in the mirror was pretty, but he couldn’t connect with ‘her’. she felt like a completely different person, almost like a mask he wore despite not understanding why he ‘needed’ to wear it or why he felt so numb to his own body.
the huas weren’t really hurting for money, but sending two teenagers to college only a year apart would be tough for any family. harley didn’t want to put that kind of stress on his parents, so he focused on cheerleading scholarships. he toured suffolk because it has one of the best cheer programs in the country. it was a dream school, but he doubted they’d want him on their team, let alone offer him enough money that he could afford to attend. yet that’s exactly what happened, so harley accepted and moved to boston.
during his freshman year of college, he realized nobody cared what he looked like in college. many of his classmates showed up to lectures in their pajamas. he started experimenting with his clothes, trading out the feminine pieces he’d been wearing for the past four years and wearing the things he wanted to; androgynous and masculine pieces. at first he wasn’t so sure why it made him happy, he just knew it did.
(tw: dysphoria) harley had never paid much attention to the trans community. he certainly never thought of himself as trans or genderqueer. sure, he often felt like an alien stuck in someone else’s body, but he assumed that was normal - something every girl secretly felt. after joining his college’s gsa and meeting trans people for the first time and hearing their stories, it began to click. harley came out towards the end of his freshman year of college, and started transitioning a few months later. his parents didn’t try to stop him, but it’s clear they don’t understand. a small part of harley is bothered by this, but he doesn’t let it get him down. it took a long time for them to accept he was deaf, too, but they eventually came around. they’re just slow to accept changes. between that and their refusal to learn ASL, harley isn’t on the best of terms with them, but he doesn’t stop to let this get to him.
overall harley is a very happy kid. he’s at his dream college, living his best life and preparing for the future he’s wanted since he was a kid
[ HEADCANONS ]
not wanting to take much money from his parents, harley works as a bartender three days a week at a popular bar near campus
if he’s not at work or in class, he’s either practicing cheer, working out at the student rec center, or at one of two coffee shops (one being the starbucks in his building, the other being an independent mom-and-pop cafe not far from campus)
he’s basically a jock villager from animal crossing. as stated before, he’s really into cheerleading. since getting his top surgery last summer he’s fallen in love with swimming. he also lifts weights and goes running a couple times a week with nadia.
harley is very busy, and his schedule is constantly fluctuating between working late nights and practices at any time of day. he’s pretty much always sleep deprived, and lives on an insane amount of coffee (he doesn’t like energy drinks).
harley’s preferred method of communication is asl. he uses interpreters in class and is involved with the deaf community in boston. but since most people on the squad only know a limited amount of sign, and other people he knows on campus don’t know the language at all, he often relies on the combination of his cochlear implant and lipreading to communicate. if he can’t hear with his cochlear implant (dead battery, too much background noise, etc) he won’t be able to understand enough by reading lips. but on the other hand, if he’s using his implant to communicate, watching the other person’s mouth helps him fill in the blanks.
[ WANTED CONNECTION ]
teammate // they do cheer together, so they spend a lot of time with each other
asl friends // harley prefers asl, so it would be great for him to have people to sign with!
regular customer // your character hangs out at the bar harley works at. conversely, they’re a bariste at one of the cafes harley is at multiple times a day
workout buddies // they lift weights together
rainbow family // in the queer community, they say you make your own family. harley doesn’t have a great relationship with his parents, and his brother is attending school on the west coast, so harley could use some lgbtq+ family in boston
comic book nerds // harley loves comic books. they were a major escape for him growing up and how he got into drawing in the first place. so maybe your character is also really into comic books, or they just share a passion for the mcu movies
[ FINAL NOTES ]
That’s all I got, but I’m open to almost anything with him. Looking forward to getting to explore him more here!

hey everyone, i’m elle! i’m in the est timezone. i’m nonbinary and i use she/her pronouns. i’m very bad at doing short intro posts but i’m gonna try to keep these short and sweet. so now let’s talk about my boy chan. he is my oldest oc - i've been writing him since 2014.
[ alex fitzalan, cis man, 22, he/him ] did you see who just walked in? it was that SENIOR, the ╳ + ASSIDUOUS AND - GUARDED ╳ one? you know, the one who lives OFF CAMPUS, CHANDLER LINWOOD! i heard they are majoring in BUSINESS and they can’t wait to get out of here to FIGURE OUT WHAT HE WANTS TO DO. crap! stop staring, here they come!
name. james chandler linwood // when chandler was five, he found out about middle names at school. after asking his dad what his was, he immediately decided that chandler was a way cooler name than james, and has gone by his middle name ever since. one of his pet peeves is people referring to him as james. hometown. wayzata, mn // suburb of minneapolis major. business // chandler has no clue what he wants to do with his life. he’s been doing some photography gigs on the side since his freshman year of college, so he decided it wouldn’t hurt to get a degree in business so he could run his own shit better. he knows he doesn’t want to do photography as a career long-term, though. birthday. february 11th, 1999 // twenty two years old. gender. cis man orientation. biromantic asexual // chan is completely out as ‘bi’. most people assume that means he’s bisexual and he doesn’t correct that idea. he’s a lot quieter about being asexual. a lot of people don’t understand what it is, and ask invasive questions, and he’s a naturally private person who wants to avoid all of that entirely. hobbies. photography, cooking, video games phobias. acrophobia // fear of heights allergy. bee venom
[ BIO ] [tw. abuse/neglect, alcoholism, drug addiction, self harm, depression]
chandler is the only child of john and susan linwood. susan is a doctor while john works for an advertising company. susan has always been a bit ‘out there’, with no brain-to-mouth filter and some very problematic viewpoints and opinions. john started drinking when chan was eight. actually, he relapsed into drinking again, but chandler doesn’t know he had an alcohol problem before that. chandler knew his parents loved him; one of their better parenting traits was making sure he didn’t forget that. but they weren’t mentally present enough to be very good parents. gradually his dad became angry and violent while he was drinking and that, coupled with chandler’s rebellious teenage years, made the linwood home a less and less safe place for chandler.
in high school, he was known for hanging out with the “wrong crowd”. he partied a lot, trying to mentally escape from his home life and normal teen angst stuff. he often mouthed off to teachers and got in trouble on a regular basis. but he also worked really hard in school, taking mostly AP classes while managing As and Bs. not many people knew what to make of that, and acted like he was just a troublemaker that was naturally gifted. but in reality he was juggling challenging school work, a busy social life, and doing all of the cooking and cleaning at home.
another thing chan had a reputation for was quickly rotating through girlfriends (and boyfriends, but there weren’t anywhere near as many guys to date at his suburban high school). but it wasn’t the situation everyone thought it was. as relationships became more physically intimate, he became more uncomfortable. as soon as sex was suggested, he would end the relationship. in hindsight, this wasn’t the best way to approach dating. but at the time, he had no idea asexuality was a thing and that he didn’t owe anyone sex just because they were in a relationship.
his longest high school relationship was madison. they had mutual friends and started hanging out. madison had a fairly obvious drug problem, but that didn’t bother chandler. a part of him was more attracted to her because of it, although he’d never admit that to anyone. plus she was asexual. this not only was how he found out that was a sexual orientation, but it also took a lot of anxiety out of the idea of dating and chandler fell hard.
madison easily grew jealous. she was biphobic, hated sharing chandler with anyone, and was often bossy and controlling. yet chandler noticed none of the red flags until it was too late. by the time he started trying to untangle himself from her, he couldn’t. he was scared what she would do to herself if he ended things, and as she became physically violent he was scared of what she would do to him as well. since he couldn’t get out of the situation, and had never learned healthy ways of coping with the stress and trauma in his life, he turned to binge drinking and self harm.
his way out came in the form of an acceptance letter from suffolk university. as soon as he graduated high school, he left for boston and never looked back.
while he had a great inner drive in high school, that came to a screeching halt once he started college. his motivation had always been to get out of wayzata. but now that he was finally free, he had no idea what to do. at the same time, he was dealing with the aftermath of both his dad and his ex-girlfriend’s abuse towards him.
while he continued pushing forward, he never found that motivation to really care about school or his future again. he’s in his final year of college and still hasn’t figured out what he wants to do with his life. he feels stuck and frustrated.
most people don’t know about his parents, or his struggles with mental health and self harm. he’s in total denial that he has a problem with alcohol. he simply doesn’t open up easily, preferring to surround himself with a shell that can become spiky if he feels uncomfortable. but he’s always cracking jokes and acting like he doesn’t take anything seriously, putting up a front so nobody looks too closely at the cracks.
[ HEADCANONS ]
while chandler is shit at taking care of his own needs, he’s amazing at taking care of other people. he will hold your hair back at a party while you throw up, make sure you drink enough water and electrolytes, then make you breakfast in the morning. he’s definitely a bit of a ‘mom friend’, although he doesn’t think he is.
he may act apathetic, but he cares. a lot. he’s a rather empathetic person. unfortunately he has the emotional intelligence of a spoon, so this isn’t always a good thing
sometimes when he’s drunk, chandler starts rambling about video game and/or cartoon conspiracy theories
his yearbook quote was “would you woohoo me in sims yes or no”
also he really likes cooking for other people so if he asks to cook for you please just humor him and say yes
[ WANTED CONNECTION ]
some sort of family member // he’s an only child, so probably a cousin. they don’t have to be from minnesota.
exes // guys, girls, nonbinary people....doesn’t matter.
fake relationship // for some reason, these two pretend they’re dating. maybe more happens, maybe not.
restaurant service // they can’t cook, so they’re always coming over and eating what chandler makes.
roommate // they could be the best of friends or hate each others guts. lots of room to find the right dynamic
best friend // one of the only people chan trusts, and they know everything about him
classmate // self explanatory
[ DISCLAIMERS ]
i know some people get really touchy about aces being portrayed as sex repulsed so often. asexuality is a lack of sexual attraction, that’s it. some aces like sex. however, chandler does not and that’s okay too!
also i know he has some heavy topics in his writing. i will tag any post that involve these topics accordingly, and always do my absolute best to handle this kind of material in a respectful and empathetic way.
[ FINAL NOTES ]
so yeah that’s chandler. so much for making this short, but i actually left a lot of small details out. please like this post or send me a message to start plotting with my son.

[ zethphan smith-gneist , cis man, twenty one, he/him ] did you see who just walked in ? it was that JUNIOR, the ╳ + FERVENT AND - DIFFIDENT ╳ one ? you know, the one who lives at OFF CAMPUS HOUSING, JOHAN ALESHIRE ! i heard they are majoring in MICROBIOLOGY and they can’t wait to get out of here to CONDUCT HIS OWN RESEARCH . crap ! stop staring, here they come !
i’m finally here with something a lil more in-depth ! i already introduced myself but for the sake of it , i’m kat (she/her) , i’m 22 and from the gmt tz ! i’m currently working on his theme so bear with me hehe . i’m going to kick things off before i ramble too much , but like this & i’ll im you ( or if you’d rather plot on discord , lmk ! )
› * 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐒 .
full name : johan otis aleshire . pronunciation : yo-han . nickname : none , though sometimes referred to as ‘aleshire’ by his teammates . gender : cis man ( he/him ) . orientation : bisexual . birthdate : sept 12th . age : twenty-one . zodiac : virgo ━━ hard-working , creative , reliable , patient , kind , timid , stubborn , overthinking , self-critical . personality : infj aka the advocate ━━ the rarest personality type of all . they have a deep sense of idealism and integrity , but are not idle dreamers . they take concrete steps to achieve their goals and make a lasting impact . they may be reserved , but they communicate in a way that is warm and sensitive . advocates strive to move past appearances and get to the heart of things . people with this personality type can sometimes become defensive in the face of criticism , especially when it comes to issues near to their hearts . they may find it difficult to open up and be vulnerable , often feeling they should solve their problems on their own . advocates can become fixated on imperfections , making them quite the perfectionist . this can lead to burnout likes : early morning runs just as the sun is rising , insects , mental stimulation , his own company , nights spent binge watching watching documentaries , acts of kindness . dislikes : being the center of attention , know-it-alls , affection from people he’s not close to , his inability to accept a compliment , busy spaces . faceclaim : zethphan smith-gneist . height : 6 ft 1 . tattoos : none . piercings : none . fashion : mostly understated as to not draw too much attention . oversized hoodies & sweatshirts in mostly neutral & dark tones . beanies pulled over tousled curls . glasses worn mostly in class .
› * 𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐋 .
parents : stefan & sabine aleshire .
his parents were childhood sweethearts who married young , after discovering sabine was pregnant with johan’s older sister . they’re happy enough , though they’ve never known anything different - hence both of them pursuing discrete flings outside of their marriage ( both without the others ‘ knowledge ) . johan’s connection with his parents is harmonious enough , yet somewhat distant . his parents have never been the type for praise or displays of affection ; perhaps explaining why johan finds it so uncomfortable to receive it from others now .
sister : lina aleshire .
being a six years older than johan , he and his sister have never been that close . their childhood mostly consister of lina bossing johan around , and johan following suit . his sister is incredibly smart , far exceeding anything johan has achieved so far , which sometimes makes him feel unworthy despite his own incredible work . as they’ve grown older , they’ve grown to see eye to eye much more . their friendship is slowly developing as they become to understand one another slightly better .
› * 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒 .
johan has always been fascinated with learning . he was the kid in school who always participated ; even though his cheeks flushed every time he raised his hand . his passion extends beyond academia , however , and his mind is packed with meaningless trivia and facts he’s picked up through reading or watching documentaries .
his escape is sport ; something nobody really saw coming . he loves running , swimming , but especially football . it’s something he likes to think he would pursue as a career in another lifetime .
he’s not the most confident of guys , and can come across slightly awkward . internally , he’s still that lanky 14 year old boy with glasses and braces , who hadn’t quite discovered who he was - in some ways , he still is trying to discover himself . he’s the type to come to a party to try and push himself , but will mostly only interact with people he knows . otherwise , he’s a bit of a wallflower .
he hasn’t come out as bisexual , per say he’s had a few kisses here and there but he’s never had a relationship , or gone all the way , so he hasn’t yet felt the need to tell his family . it’s not quite a secret though and he’s not ashamed , and i’m sure there probably are some people that he has told .
› * 𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐃 .
childhood best friend ━━ still close friends or could have grown apart over the years .
new best friend/s since coming to college
family friends
study buddy / someone as interested in academia & learning as he is
football teammates
unrequited crush ━━ f / m / nb ━━ somebody johan is transfixed by but they don’t really notice him , or maybe they just don’t a clue
ex ━━ f / nb ━━ i imagine him having had a lil relationship as a freshman , but for whatever reason it fizzled out . how they interact now can be discussed !
first mlm interaction ━━ goes without saying , really !
