BIOGRAPHY
jordan oliver porter was born and raised in queens lace! his parents lived in a neighboring town then settled here upon securing jobs as a doctor and professor respectively. they instilled a love for learning & knowledge in their only child from day one, something he still carries to this day.
he gets the dad friend part of his personality from you guessed it, his father. always at the ready to fuss over someone and make sure they’re taking care of themself. then the goofball side comes from his mother. they both enjoy putting a smile on someone’s face or making them laugh, but mother and son can be serious when it’s time to get serious.
he was born on valentine’s day! people who know jordan like to joke that this is what makes him such a romantic, but the impulsiveness remains unaccounted for since his parents are the pro-con list-making type of people. (it’s the aquarius energy, baby!)
once he was old enough, his parents sat him down for a family discussion about his hybrid nature. up until then, he had received age appropriate answers but that day’s chat covered questions old, new, and ones he hadn’t even thought of yet. the porter household has always been a safe space, full of love and encouragement. however, as is tradition, mum remains the word on sharing this information with others. just to be on the safe side, as his parents and grandparents will say.
aside from the shenanigans that were bound to come along with his heritage, jordan’s life has been fairly normal! he did well in school, made a name for himself as a class clown and one of top students.
he also took up guitar & bass lessons to have an outlet for his seemingly boundless energy, to work on his focus. shortly after, he started writing songs when the creative energy turned into something concrete. a message that he wanted to get across, a story that he wanted to tell, a gripe that he wanted to get off his chest, or an idea that was simply entertaining to write about.
(ooc sidenote: this also led to him starting a band with some friends of his! more details to come as the connection gets filled so definitely keep checking back here!)
another love that jordan has is for mysteries! a curious kid who became a curious adult, he has no shortage of detective novels in his bookshelves and he often tries to guess twist villains in movies or shows. plus, being a private investigator caught his eye as a potential career option way back in the day. what better way to help others and give answers to cases that had long gone unsolved? and an added bonus - in his eyes at least - is that he would be working alone. he has never been interested in dragging other people into potentially dangerous situations with him, thank you very much.
jordan returned home to queens lace last year after graduating from college! he has a criminal justice degree under his belt, ready in the event he wishes to open up his own private investigation business or become a detective.
and all of this brings us to the present day! with recent events, he’s feeling quite protective over his loved ones and wants to help keep them safe however he can. but he also won’t deny the desire he has to dig a little deeper, see if he can help answer some of these unspoken questions.
what does the future have in store for jordan? only time will tell.

THE BASICS
Name: Cameron Keller [ CAM - run | KELL - er ] Nicknames: Sunshine, Cam, Kelly, Keller, Calvin Klein, CK Birthdate: April 7th (Aries) Gender: Cisgender Male Pronouns: He/Him Sexuality: Bisexual Species: Human
THE FEATURES
Height: 6′0″ Hair Color: Dirty Blonde Eye Color: Blue/Green Piercings: None Tattoos: None Scars: 5 [Right Wrist, Right Knee, Right Forearm, Left Ankle, Left Foot] Prominent Features: Curly Hair, Wide Smile, Big Mouth, Memorable Eyes, Long Legs
THE PERSONALITY
Aesthetics: Shining Blue Eyes, Rooms Where You Can't See The Floor, Laughter Easy like Breathing, Rapidly Thumping Your Knee, Stuffed Animals and Comfy Crashes, Saying Yes to Everything, Full On Bodypaint for Sports Games, Messing Up on Purpose to Make You Feel Better, A Slowly Growing Excited Grin, Getting Over-Competitive at Simple Games, Doing Things Because They Are Someone Else's Favorite, The Scent of Salt and Sunscreen, Enthusiastically Offering a Bad Idea, Not Knowing How Chairs Work, Desperately Needing People to be Happy, Where Did Your Shirt Go?, Weird Documentaries at 2am, Constantly Losing Your Phone, Drawing Attention so You Aren't Nervous, Clothes That Pass the Smell Test, A Fish in the Water Swimming Effortlessly, The Crunch of Fried Food, “But Doctor I Am Pagliacci” Primary Motivation: To Save People from Sadness Secondary Motivation: Finding Someone Who Will Take Care of Him Enneagram: Type 9 (The Peacemaker) ++ Positive Traits: Selfless, Playful, Energetic, Protective -- Negative Traits: Repressive, Forgetful, Over-Competitive, Toxic Positivity Cameron, frequently called Cam for short or just Sunshine altogether, is a relentlessly dopey and positive force on the surface. Everyone staring at the outside will notice that he seems unruffled, untouchable, and just completely silly and laughable and happy. Cameron makes jokes, wants to have fun, and often presents somewhat childishly to his peers. He’s all about everyone having a good time and being friends. It’s almost like he has a psychological need for things to be fun and light. Thus the name, Sunshine. Cameron is often described as Sunshine in a Bottle or some equally idyllic name. His friends, especially his introverted friends or the eagle-eyed, might notice that his laughter and smiles have a purpose. Cameron is endlessly self-effacing in order to keep attention off of people who don’t want it. Did you spill your drink? Well, Cameron is likely to knock over the whole cooler, or suddenly suggest that everyone go skinny dipping so that nobody is looking while you clean yourself up. His antics are usually a way to either break tension or divert attention in order to manage the mood of the groups he is in. He’s constantly in protective mode. He also is willing to go to nearly any length to cheer people up. He’ll do the things that are comfortable for you, that are your favorite, that brings you joy, and he’ll never once even consider his own feelings on the matter. His reward is his friends feeling better. Being happy. In fact, those closest to Sunshine know that he is self-destructively repressive. He constantly represses how he is feeling, because someone else deserves his attention more. Someone is in greater need than him, so he doesn’t need anyone to know he is sad. Instead he plasters on the fake smile and does something silly and everyone assumes he is okay. He also is severely co-dependent. Cameron prefers to be part of a group and will often suppress his desires in order to fit in. Sure he’ll go to that movie you like. Sure, he’ll follow your plan. Yes, he’ll join that sports team and give it all despite not caring about volleyball. Cameron hates being alone and will become whatever shape he needs to be in order to be friend-shaped. Thus, “but Doctor, I AM Pagliacci!” Cameron is the good time guy that is no good to anyone if he lets them see he also has real problems. So he doesn’t. But deep down, Cameron wishes somebody would take care of him the way he takes care of everyone else.
The Stuff You Need to Know
Cameron lives at home with his mother. His father passed away from a “heart attack” when he was young. It was the first big sadness in his life that Cameron just...bounced off of. It’s likely where his “push it down and smile so nobody worries” attitude really came from. This means that he’s also never really dealt with the death of his father, since it is currently sitting at the bottom of a mountain of personal issues he is yet to address. Author’s Note: Cameron’s father was a local cop who likely died from supernatural causes, but his death was simply ruled a heart attack. His body was “cremated” so who knows if that’s even him in there? Plotting possibilities exist. Just like he does for his friends, Cameron put his own desires to the side when his mother was diagnosed with COPD a couple years ago. He came back home to Queen’s Lace after finishing a single year of college, and has been taking care of her ever since. Cameron didn’t want to burden his only other sibling with caring for their mom, so he stepped up to the plate. He took a job around town that’s pretty flexible in case a medical emergency comes up and has been here ever since. He’s been taking online courses to further his degree while he’s here, planning on moving out of Queen’s Lace after his mom eventually passes away. All the while pretending that everything is totally fine. Being the only ray of sunshine in his mom’s life, and a lot of his friends’ constant counselor, means he can’t break down. Not yet.
The Stuff I Wanna Do
Give him a best friend(s). Preferably someone local to Queen’s Lace. Cameron’s lived here his whole life, so having a childhood best friend is high on my list. Diapers to Driving kinda best friends. The ride or die. The person who knows all the shit Sunshine’s been through. I’m also down for a more recent best friend, someone who only met him after he came back from college roughly 5 years ago. Someone who he likes to hang out with precisely because they don’t know much about him. Someone who doesn’t get past the Sunshine veneer too often. Having both would be intriguing. New Friend v Old Friend drama? Lesgo! Give him the introvert(s) he protecc. Cameron’s modus operandi is to make a fool of himself to make people either feel better, or to take the heat off introverts who are uncomfortable in social situations. So I’d love if he had an introvert that he could reliably do this for. Bonus points if they know he’s doing it. Maybe he did something once when they were especially down in the dumps and that cemented some kind of bond for them both. Cam likely drags them into social situations with promises like “don’t worry I got you. I’ll be your screen.” Give him a will-they-wont-they/love interests. Cameron is a virgin. He doesn’t advertise this fact, but he’s always been too busy taking care of everyone else to really have a love life. He does, however, flirt with just about anyone, and has kissed a ton of people. He loves to kiss people, and he’s equal opportunity, so men, women, and nonbinaries alike can all get some of his affection. So I’d love to find someone that he dated for a while, who maybe wanted more from him but he couldn’t give it, and they did the will-they-wont-they thing for a bit but it ultimately didn’t work out. Give him a work-buddy. Right now my brain says he works for like a cleaning/power washing company, but I’m extremely flexible on that job. So plotting up some kind of work buddy would be great. The job does need to be fairly flexible, or the work buddy has to cover for him often, because his mom is medically fragile so he has to drop stuff somewhat frequently to go check up on her. Extra points if, in their job, they’ve seen some weird shit they have had to rationalize, and then when the supes hit the fan both friends are like “YO! That’s what that was!!” Do Bad Things to Him. Obviously I’m bringing the sunshiney smiley boy into a supernatural horror mystery. So I’m expecting him to get shredded as a result of the RP. Getting turned into a vampire would be WILD for his character arc, but also just general death and trauma would be good character development. Trying to crack his sunshiney exterior and force him to deal with some real shit would be awesome. It could also lead to him having to deal with all the other sadnesses that he’s neglected. Or it could lead to him retreating behind the Sunshine veneer super hard and raise some red flags for all his friends who are realizing somethings wrong. Dad’s (and Mom’s??) Supernatural Connection. Cameron’s dad was a cop who died when he was like 6. Long enough ago that Cameron can’t remember his dad’s voice kind of stuff. Dad’s death was written as a “heart attack” and his body got cremated (so no evidence), although again, I’m flexible and we can change that to “injured in the line of duty” or something like that to make it fit a nice plot. Point being, his dad’s death was likely foul play and I’m willing to use that for a good connection if your supernatural muse was around Queen’s Lace roughly 17-18 years ago. Mom suffers from COPD, and I’m pretty firm on that diagnosis (but always shoot your shot if you wanna do something with long-term compulsion triggering seizures or something instead). I think it’s just a result of smoking, but like, could it be that a supernatural somehow caused it? Or something that she saw drove her to start smoking which eventually caused it? This one is a little harder to connect to than Dad, but the option is out there.

A little backstory to Merritt Drew....
Full Name: Merritt Drew Harding
Age: 24
Appearance: 5′6, curly red hair, blue eyes
Birthday: October 3rd
Sexuality: good question
Key information / Biography:
Most people remember their childhood, their early childhood in just small flashes or almost the memory of a memory. There are things we assumed we did; been afraid of the dark, hated one specific vegetable, learn the alphabet. Maybe those things are not clear, but often times we know they happened in some capacity. The quintessential curve of toddler life to nursery school is a familiar image for most
Merritt Drew Harding does not remember anything before age five. She never assumed anything bad about it or that it was something traumatic. There was never aa reason to do so having been adopted into a family that was all she knew. Merritt was the youngest, among other siblings adopted or fostered at different points in their life.
The only negative thing, if you could call it negative, was that money was tight. Most of her clothes and school uniforms were handed down from sisters or other community members who outgrew their plaids and button downs. Her home had dial-up internet well into the early aughts. Microsoft Word? She wrote her school papers on Notes until she had a library card and could be trusted to sit in the town library alone at age twelve. There were no iPods or *gasp* post-2008 iPhones. There were ripped CDs of Linkin Park and Michelle Branch, there were Joni Mitchell albums, and VHS tapes of Mork and Mindy, there was PBS children’s blocks and news hours, so in some ways, Merritt was a little behind. She didn’t catch up on modernization until maybe 2012 when she was finally allowed to make an instagram like the rest of her friends (she accessed it from her older sister’s phone and was very protective of her password)
Yet, those things didn’t bother her. Remember that library where she wrote her school essays? She spent lots of time there otherwise, reading of course but mainly writing. Merritt felt creative at heart, like her fingertips were electric and her ideas were visualized to perfection in her mind. Maybe it was a real talent. Merritt also knew she had a bit of a green thumb, an affinity for finches following her on walks, and a rather strong will to ensure that the school bully’s shoelaces were tied together during gym - even if she never actually did it herself.
Queens Lace was small, but not so small that Merritt struggled to find work. Of course no amount of money she made at a part time job would fully afford college, but she kept trying anyway. She liked the application process actually and nearly crashed down the stairs the day she got accepted to a university in New York. Merritt pleaded, she begged, she wrote god-damn play about how desperately she wanted to go. With some reluctance for their baby leaving, eventually Mr. and Mrs. Harding agreed - as long as Merritt kept her scholarship and work study all four years.
It was a done deal.
It was in the city that she ran into some more...esoteric figures. Maybe they saw something more in her than she had figured, but it wasn’t long before Merritt realized she had some abilities that were best defined as calling herself a witch.
That was just back burner stuff during undergrad, she was too busy being a Creative Writing major. It reminded her of the electrified feeling she got at the library writing, writing, and writing as a kid. But post graduation, Merritt found herself a little stuck. So she applied for grants and decided to stick around the city for her MFA in Creative Writing, letting her other practice take more root at this time.
Now at age twenty four, graduating with her masters degree and identifying as a fully fledged witch, she returned home this summer to Queens Lace for the first time. Well not the first time, but the most prolonged visit since she first made the switch to college. The town has a different vibration now, and the whispers concern her.
She’d been gone for a few years and was returning, not just lost with what to do with her life, but with a new part of her identity at maybe not such a great time to be calling herself a witch. That’ll stay on the DL for now.
Merritt is staying at home for now, she’s not sure if she’ll settle back in Queen’s Lace. But for now, volunteering at the library along with her freelance writing contracts is enough to keep her afloat.

Biography
Cherry was born to two people who realised too late they had fallen out of love with eachother, but decided to stick it out together for the sake of the baby. If you ask Cherry though, they'd tell you they wished their parents broke up long before she was concieved. By the time she was born, her mother was a pretty succesful model and her father was on track to become CEO of his own tech company.
A year after she was born, Cherry's parents left Queen's Lace for Brooklyn, NY. By the time she was 10, her parents strained relationship was starting to put strain on Cherry's relationship with either parent, but all three pretended like that wasn't the case. If you seen them out in public, they seemed like the picture perfect family.
When they reached 13, Cherry's mother started pushing them towards following in her footsteps and start modeling. When Cherry started modeling, thats when a shift in their relationship with their mother really showed itself; Cherry's mother began to make her feel like she wasn't enough, wasn't pretty enough, wasn't skinny enough, and that's the moment Cherry's eating disorder began. To this day she's still working on overcoming it.
Their father? Mostly worked, but he paid little attention to Cherry, too ingrossed in his work, his alcohol, or whichever assistant he was sleeping with that month. And Cherrry preferred that. Because when he did pay attention to her? It was to belittle her, or throw things at her, or when she turned 15, and he hit her for the first time in a drunked rant about how she was growing up too fast, a side effect of getting into modeling so young.
As their parent's behaviour towards them got worse, Cherry became immune to it, zoning out or pinching the skin on her thighs, whatever it took to not cry. A 2 weeks before her 16th birthday, she begged her parents to take her to Queen Lace, a town she didn't remember, but it's where she was born and she wanted to see it even once. And so they planned a 2 week trip to visit. If only Cherry knew how that trip would end, would she change it, or let it play out exactly as it did.
The 2 weeks were uneventful, Cherry spent as much of the time outside the hotel room as they could, learning as much about the town as they could, and seeing as much as they could in a limited time. The day they were suppose to leave was the same day a storm was suppose to roll in, but if they planned it right, the storm would be avoided completely and theyd be back in Brooklyn by evening, in time to celebrate Cherry's 16th.
But thinga never turn out the way they're suppose to, do they? Half a mile outside of Queen Lace, Cherry watched as her father swerved to avoid hitting an animal on the road....and that's all she remembers. Their parents died on impact with a tree, while Cherry survived. Happy 16th huh. They were shipped of to an aunt in San Diego, returning to Brooklyn when they turned 18. And now, back in Queens Lace, aged 23, something about the crash never felt right to her, and what better way to see if anyone felt similar, than to come back.
Connections
someone who knew her parents (they lived in Queens Lace for 15 years)
someone she befriended on the 2 weeks she was back
an older sibling
someone they know from Brooklyn
one night stand they keep running into
someone who's just as reckless as Cherry
someone who also thinks somethings..off...about Queens Lace
more can be found here or we can brainstorm anything !!

* devon seron , ciswoman , she/her , 25 . don't suppose you've seen bianca casuco around anywhere ? i've been meaning to return their memory film keychain , and tell them i listened to selene by niki that reminds me of them . i swear they're reminding me more and more of head to bottom black silk & lace number, spilled glitter on the desk illuminated by the sunset light, longing stares at happy families they see at the grocery store, sounds of cameras clicking accompanied my multiple flashes, & the breeze from an electric fan letting their long brown locks air-dry each time i see them . hey , if you happen to see them , give me a call . especially if they're acting a little detached , but if they're acting too jaunty , that warrants a worry from me , too . with everything going on in town , i just want them to be alright .
hi, i’m jess! very excited to write with all of u!!
full name. bianca ann casuco
alias(es). b, bibi
birthdate. sept 28th ( libra )
occupation. tutor, full-time bored pretty girl.
inspo. pre’ samartino ( first day high ), london tipton ( suite life ), arastoo vaziri ( bones ), alex russo ( wowp ), lydia martin ( teen wolf )
aesthetic. head to bottom black silk & lace number, spilled glitter on the desk illuminated by the sunset light, longing stares at happy families they see at the grocery store, sounds of cameras clicking accompanied my multiple flashes, the breeze from an electric fan letting their long brown locks air-dry, smudged gel ink from old handwritten notes, rhythmic tapping as she waits for class notes to print out.
applicable labels. the aesthete, the facade, the fallen angel, the gregarious, the reveller, the sybarite.
origins. bianca is the only child of two rich people who only ever treated queens lace as a stopover rather than a permanent residency. even while growing up and bianca was the epitome of a model child with awards & stellar grades, her parents only really gave a half-hearted hug and a ‘keep up the good work’ as a return. whatever families she’s seen spending time together felt all the more insulting & depressing, which just morphed into the bianca of today. sneers & fake niceties wrapped in glitter & luxurious fabrics. unfortunately for the young woman, a ‘mishap’ after she graduated college left her financially cut-off from her parents. the only mercy they gave was the pair’s residence in queens lace, virginia that they were on the way to selling anyway. it fit, they said. a throwaway house for a throwaway child.
currently. you really wouldn’t know bianca didn’t have a lot of money currently. she lives lavishly, treating her clothing & items like the precious treasures they are. she longs for the financial freedom that she once had, that she feels was harshly taken away for an action she deems minute & shallow. she’s always put together; all ‘messes’ are intentional, for the sake of feeling like she’s done something new. the house she lives in might be a few items too short of when her parents were still around ( she’s sold some of the items for some extra cash on the side ) but bianca meticulously crafted it to still exude a glamorous vibe.
personality. ( + ) versatile, dynamic, jovial, jaunty; bianca can thrive anywhere within reason. she likes to talk up a storm & to talk other people up a storm. admittedly nosy & fond of gossip, bianca’s sincerity in getting to know people has a hidden agenda of just wanting to know everything about everybody. ( - ) materialistic, overcritical, detached, indecisive; because of her spoiled upbringing, she places a lot of value on material things. her ‘humble’ abode is kept clean & all the items that she didn’t sell already are given high priority over all the basic stuff she has. besides this, bianca is a tad removed from the pulse of whatever is going on in town. she likes queens lace, but she’d rather make herself feel better than to make everyone else feel better, if she was being honest.
