buckminster ‘buck’ arkwright / 39 / support group leader & tired academic / malachite

enfj / social good / 1w2 / melancholic

cancer sun, gemini rising, taurus moon

shamelessly the hot priest in nora’s fleabag plot with jo vargas! (come for the drama and humor, stay for the pain.) but instead of being an ordained minister, he’s a professor! (i’m thinking liberal arts because that’s what happens when you’re a former literature major like myself.)

he’s the older brother to ellis’s lloyd (the ever-lovely dan stevens), and basically these two adult men are just two halves of an idiot sandwich (in their own Fun ways). we’re still working out their ~history whilst growing up in dyrne, but these two are locals so there is plenty of room to have known them growing up!

buck is a recovering alcoholic and now he’s using his prior experiences with addiction to help others around him who are suffering. i can imagine his support group being a very almost chill affair? like’s he’s always there on thursday nights at the local diner in the back with his little cup of black coffee and an encouraging smile for those willing to share their experiences.

before he hit Rock Bottom (about maybe 5ish?? years ago), though, buck was (un)happily married and i would actually like to put out feelers to see if anyone would be interested in playing his ex-wife! (i don’t have a lot of specifications but i can definitely see his alcoholism playing a big factor in their separation/divorce.)

i think i’ve run out of gas in this clown car of Ideas but this is all very much still a work in progress! but if any of the above sparks your interest (or if you just want to chat about other spooky things) please hit me up at spooky spice#3773 on discord!

SATURNINA “NINA” DE VILLIERS – 23, MA student, amethyst

1/2 new england WASP, 1/2 khmer-american refugee 

alexa, play second-hand diaspora blues

nina is here to serve you mad genius meets conspiracy theorists vibes

she majored in computer science and minored in religion for her undergrad. currently pursuing her masters. 

an order of the sibyl legacy, baby gorl here falls strictly in the amethyst member group. she presents that way too which is funny, considering her profession of choice involves hard logic and quick mafs.

her Purpose in life is to bridge the gap between spirituality and science, and this is what she is currently centering her thesis around. her professors are all looking at each other and chuckling nervously but if anyone can solve the big Question of spirituality, it’s nina i guess jghkdjfg

AESTHETIC: pristine white sheets, rumpled with sleep / lips stained plum wine/ [hacker voice] i’m in / sandalwood incense / full moon nights / first edition texts desecrated by her urgent scrawling / english tea, heavy on the honey / “i want to love but my hair smells of war and running, and running” / a quick whiff of jasmine that lets you know she’s just passed / [nicolas cage voice] i’m going to steal the abrams grimoire / two children, dark-haired and matching constellation of freckles, tearing through a vast new england estate– hand in hand, always hand in hand.

AISHA KENZARI — 28, PhD candidate in Archaeology, Malachite

Born and bred New Yorker / Batteries, resting bitch face, and cosmopolitan tendencies included.

Bit of an ice queen / Not necessarily rude without provocation, but generally has a low bullshit tolerance. Please, do not provoke her...she knows how to use a pick axe.

Cultivated air of mystery / Her hair is full of secrets, including but not limited to her girlfriend, her bouts of insomnia, and also her seasonal allergies.

AESTHETIC — Arabic calligraphy, an art that elevates the written word alone / antique gold / strands of high-polished jade / all black everything: curls, velvet, coffee / a sole figure in the rain, her face obscured beneath an umbrella / clouds of steam over fresh-poured cups of mint tea / a pitch-black gaze, stern and unflinching

[vietnaem]

name: vic

age: 22

pronouns: she/they

star sign: taurus, earth tiger zodiac

favorite piece of gothic horror or dark academia: the mortifying ordeal of cryptic symbolism in recurring dreams, mysticism and folklore hemorrhaging into religiosity, neighbors that know a little too much, family bloodlines bound to the land, tender loving in a forsaken time, the innumerable ways to write about water, the house is haunted because something horrible has happened here but no one must speak of it, what’s dead should stay dead but you came back.  

favorite spooky movie/show: nbc hannibal... scooby doo & the witch’s ghost

what’s your halloween costume: last year i was a cow, this year i will be in my pjs

castor apollo marceau.

25. law student. carnelian.

old libraries, old money / stylishly loose white dress shirts, unbuttoned half the way / black slacks (cuffed at the bottom), black dress shoes, everything is black and white / a mightily pretentious air of perfectly disheveled douchbaggery / crushed black velvet / whiskey on the rocks / a lit cigarette, hanging lazilly from the mouth / the devil is a gentleman / generational curses, fulfilling a legacy, living up to the legends of your father and his father and his father / old books with worn, faded covers, tucked under one arm / pointedly rolling up the sleeves of a dress shirt when its time to get to work / the distinctive art of raising a single eyebrow / living on coffee, always black

quinn love, 25, museum studies phD, lapis lazuli.

b. september 26th, 1995 / libra sun, scorpio moon, capricorn rising

red right hand, museum studies phD student, archivist intern at dyrne museum of natural history

lawful evil / INTP / melancholic

the younger of the love twins, an academic without the energy to properly apply himself, smart without trying, social out of obligation to maintain an appearance that has been carefully tended to, knowledge is power and power is everything

aesthetics: bare feet on hardwood floors, the sound of rain as it hits the window, a series of unanswered texts, a door held open, piles of unfinished books, burnt matchsticks, clean sheets, ignored alarms in the morning, dew on the grass

ideas: quinn is involved in the red right hand, involved with the dyrne musuem, and a phD student at ashmore, so there’s likely a lot of avenues to go with through this!! anyone who knows his twin tommy and is shocked that they’re even related tbh feel free to hit me up at mac#2674 if you have any ideas!!!!

THALIA VALENTINE – 22, undergrad, malachite

ahh-shit-here-we-go-again.gif

the valentines are old, old money. came over to the new world already well-off and worked up from there. their great (great?) grandfather started a johnson & johnson type of company more than a century ago and has now morphed into the monstrosity of big pharma that it is now. her mother’s people are political royalty, kennedy-style.

thalia is the baby, and grew up in the lap of luxury in a brownstone on the upper east side. went to all the private schools and the boarding schools and the finishing schools expected of someone like her.

her family is lannister vibes i.e. “everyone who isn’t us is an enemy”

by all intents and purposes she should be a shark– like her mother, and her sisters, and everyone else who came before her. but..she’s just not? she can act it, and sometimes gets really close to being convincing, but in the end it’s an act. she’s a cancer, Soft™ is her brand.

cancer sun, aquarius moon, leo rising for my astro baes

chaotic good / enfp-t / sanguine / 9w8 (social variant probs)

took a gap year “”backpacking”” hence why she’s graduating at 22

majoring in communications (concentration in journalism) to the ETERNAL disappointment of her entire family.

an ezekiel’s sight legacy, by way of paternal lineage.

vibes: penelope (the odyssey), sansa stark (asoiaf), andromache (the odyssey) / “you could be water, and soft river your way to freedom”

age: [taylor swift voice] 22

pronouns: she/her/hers

star sign: cancer, tho please know that i ride HARD for my capricorn babes and generally any/all earth signs xox

favorite piece of gothic horror or dark academia: my pinterest board :donotseeit: i read the secret history once when i was like fourteen with a single, underdeveloped, just-post-pubescent brain cell so that was kinda [fart noises]. stoker was chefs kiss though, and i’m here for any and all vaguely pretentious dark academia elements elements including: old stone buildings, that creeping feeling of dread when the days start to shorten, overuse of classical allegories, and murder mysteries :-)

favorite spooky movie/show: if halloween/witchy/supernatural media had a scale from ‘spoopy’ to ‘scary’ i’d definitely be on the spoopy side, so catch me binge-watching twitches + twitches ii, chilling adventures of sabrina, & pretty much any halloween-themed disney channel content.

what’s your halloween costume: last year i dressed up as a catholic angel with met gala ‘heavenly bodies’ vibes and i’m pretty much never topping that. this year i will likely be found in my bathrobe

[vietnaem]

favorite piece of gothic horror or dark academia: ok so i like, devoured if we were villians when i (finally) read it a few months ago. but also, on the gothic horror front, frankenstein, dracula, the phantom of the opera, wuthering heights, anything edgar allan poe related ... tbh, there’s a lot.

favorite spooky movie/show: uh, i watch an obnoxious amount of horror so this is Hard for me, but i rewatched eyes without a face and i’ve been thinking about that a lot lately. besides that, candyman, audition, let the right one in, ganja & hess, ah so many more tbh !!!
