RUAIRI MACARTHY is looking for his EX-GIRLFRIEND / MOTHER OF HIS CHILD. For more details about the connection, read below!

BASIC INFORMATION

CHARACTER NAME — Ruairi Macarthy.

CATEGORY — Platonic/Formerly Romantic.

TYPE OF CONNECTION — Ex-girlfriend / mother of his child.

CONNECTION NAME — Margaret "Maggie" Rourke (can be changed if desired).

CONNECTION AGE — 29 - 30.

SUGGESTED FACECLAIMS — Hannah Dodd, Ella Purnell, Lucy Boynton, Florence Pugh, UTP.

DESCRIPTION

Ruairi met Margaret Rourke during his first year at Trinity College in Dublin - they became fast friends as they shared several courses together and had several mutual friends between them. Ruairi was smitten with her almost immediately and though it took Maggie slightly longer to settle into her own feelings they began dating shortly after their first year drew to a close. Theirs was a sweet, comfortable relationship and Ruairi was deliriously happy to be with her; even when she came to him to tell him she was pregnant he was elated, even if that elation was coupled with a healthy dose of nerves. After their son was born Ruairi was convinced that their relationship was cemented and when he followed her home to Illinois he began planning to propose. All of that crumbled in an instant when Maggie walked out on them and Ruairi hasn’t seen her for more than a few minutes at a time in several years in spite of the fact that her parents are still a part of his life through their son. He isn’t certain whether he can ever forgive her for walking out on them but he wants to get comfortable enough to co-parent their son in a way that’s healthy and comfortable for both of them. as of now he thinks that has to be wishful thinking.

In the last handful of months, Ruairi and Maggie have been seeing each other a bit more― they're not quite friends at the moment but they're getting back to a friendlier place, having a lot of hard but much needed conversations, trying to get to a solid foundation for their son's sake.

Ultimately, I'd love for this to be a very important friendship in Ruairi's life― he may not be in love with Maggie any longer at this point but he still loves her very much, still wants her to be there for their son if she's ready to do so, and definitely misses what their relationship was like even before they started dating. Why Maggie left / what she's been doing with herself since they broke up / what made her decide to try to rebuild her relationship with Ruairi -- all of that is completely up for discussion and at the discretion of anyone filling the connection!

BASIC INFORMATION

CHARACTER NAME — Jeanie Ramachandran.

CATEGORY — Romantic/Platonic/Antagonistic.

TYPE OF CONNECTION — Roommate One / Roommate Two.

CONNECTION AGE — UTP.

SUGGESTED FACECLAIMS — Aimee Lou Wood, Dacre Montgomery, Simone Ashley, Quinta Brunson, John Boyega, Daniel Radcliffe, UTP.

Your muse would be one of Jeanie's two roommates. The nature of their relationship can be plotted, whether it's antagonistic, platonic, flirty, or something else.

DAMIAN ESCOBEDO is looking for his FRIEND WITH BENEFITS. For more details about the connection, read below!

this connection is now filled.

BASIC INFORMATION

CHARACTER NAME — Damian Escobedo.

CATEGORY — Romantic/Platonic

TYPE OF CONNECTION — Friend with Benefits.

CONNECTION NAME — UTP.

CONNECTION AGE — 30 - 38.

SUGGESTED FACECLAIMS — David Corenswet, Daniel Sharman, Manny Jacinto, Tom Blyth, Dylan O'Brien, Regé-Jean Page, Brian Altemus, Jonathan Bailey, Michael B. Jordan, UTP.

DESCRIPTION

Met when Damian was 21 in Chicago.

They were friends first and only got physical once or twice while drunk and/or high but never mentioned it again. Damian was still very deep in the closet.

They partied a lot together, and he was part of Damian’s alcohol/drug scene (Damian was always more of an alcoholic — you can pick your muse's poison, though).

About seven years ago, they both decided to get clean and sober together after almost losing a friend to a DUI incident.

About six years into their sober journey together (approximately six months ago), they struck up a purely physical relationship, lamenting their limited dating pool as young sober men.

They’re extremely good friends, very close, and clear on the terms of their arrangement. They hardly ever talk about their feelings or love interests outside of each other, but when they do, there’s occasionally a tinge of jealousy. Whether or not they ever acknowledge it is up in the air.

Everything else is completely up to the player, including the name, background, sober journey, etc.

MUSINGS — X, X, X, X.

do you need to be contacted by the potential applicant? — not super necessary, but i'm happy to chat about background/timeline regardless if you feel the need to! :)!

ANTONIO BELTRAN is looking for his CHILDHOOD BEST FRIEND. For more details about the connection, read below!

THIS CONNECTION HAS NOW BEEN FILLED.

BASIC INFORMATION

CHARACTER NAME — Antonio Beltran.

CATEGORY — Platonic and previously romantic.

TYPE OF CONNECTION — Childhood best friend.

CONNECTION NAME — UTP.

CONNECTION AGE — 37 - 43.

SUGGESTED FACECLAIMS — Jonathan Bailey, Jason Momoa, Adrianne Palicki, Jon Bernthal, Henry Cavill, Jacob Anderson, Jessica Chastain, Odette Annable, Aubrey Plaza, Hannah Simone, Rebecca Ferguson, Sam Reid, Milo Ventimiglia, UTP.

DESCRIPTION

"A childhood friend from San Antonio, Texas who has also perhaps recently moved to Blue Harbor. They share a deep bond and have a treasure trove of nostalgic memories. This friend knows Toni’s family well — is probably the only person who knows Antonio’s mother recently passed away — and has seen him through various stages of his life, providing a sense of continuity and stability. They’ll most likely know everything about Antonio, including his misgivings."

They were next-door neighbors growing up, so their age can be a tad bit younger/older. It didn't make a difference to them after bonding so young (Antonio would've been 5 when they met.)

They were each other's confidants and biggest supporters throughout their entire lives and careers. When Antonio became a successful musician, he would've kept in touch with this friend, flown them out for tour dates, etc. There hasn't been a period of more than a week where they haven't kept in touch.

This friend would know everything about Antonio — from his decades-long unrequited interest for a band mate to his alcohol problem (provided they're paying close attention, anyway) and everything in between.

Regardless of gender, I imagine they were each other's first kiss and each other's first love. However that played out can be up to plotting.

Everything else — from their career to their home life to their personality — is completely up to the player!

Do you need to be contacted by the potential applicant? — Yes, please!

ELIJAH FALVEY & ROMAN DANIELS are looking for their FORMER BANDMATE. For more details about the connection, read below!

THIS CONNECTION IS NOW FILLED.

BASIC INFORMATION

CHARACTER NAME — Elijah Falvey & Roman Daniels.

CATEGORY — Platonic / Antagonistic (depending on who!)

TYPE OF CONNECTION — Former bandmate.

CONNECTION NAME — He’s been referred to as Antonio / Toni so far (alternatively Anthony / Tony depending on faceclaim) but it’s entirely UTP!

CONNECTION AGE — 39 - 41.

SUGGESTED FACECLAIMS — Diego Luna, Alfonso Herrera, Clayton Cardenas, Octavio Pisano, Manny Jacinto, Will Sharpe, Lewis Tan, John David Washington, Daniel Henney, Kendrick Sampson, UTP (as long as they are a faceclaim of color).

DESCRIPTION

BAND LORE:

The indie rock band Amethyst planted its roots in 2000 when lead vocalist Harrison Morrey corralled four of his most talented friends from Blue Harbor University in the span of a year — Kaya, Roman, Antonio and Elijah. Antonio was the guitarist, third to join the lineup sometime between September and October of 2001. After Elijah joined later that year, all five bandmates became thick as thieves, spending almost every moment of free time that they had with one another to practice in Harrison’s family’s garage. Once they all graduated, they even decided to move in together; Elijah and Harrison shared one apartment, while Antonio, Roman and Kaya shared another closeby. This arrangement lasted for several years, playing local gigs around Illinois’ neighboring towns until luck landed them a professional record deal in 2006. They signed to a major label out in Los Angeles and decided to leave behind their humble beginnings for the city of angels, moving to California and spending the next thirteen years touring and making music!

TW FOR CAR ACCIDENTS, DEATH, HOSPITALIZATION, GRIEF. In June of 2019, everything changed. Amethyst were en route to the venue for the last stop of their world tour in Los Angeles when they all suffered from a gnarly car accident — Harrison, unfortunately, was the only one who didn’t survive. The others had varying degrees of injuries requiring hospitalization and specialized care, Roman being the most notable who was rendered unable to play bass again without the functionality of his right hand. In December of that same year, they decided that they could no longer move forward in their career as a band and posted their official disbandment notice on all platforms. Since that moment, none of the other members heard from Elijah (who cut contact and moved back to Blue Harbor as soon as he was physically able to, running from his grief). Roman, Kaya and Antonio were left to pick up the pieces of one another as they mourned the loss of two of their best friends.

Roman returned to Blue Harbor in 2023, leading to several messy confrontations with Elijah. At the moment, they’re both trying (and failing, because they’re both too stubborn to really try) to understand the motives behind one another’s decisions.

ANTONIO SPECIFIC / UTP:

Aside from all of the band lore mentioned above, everything else about Antonio is completely UTP! His full backstory, how he met Harrison originally, current occupation, reasoning for coming back to Blue Harbor, possible other connections, etc etc etc. Throughout their lives, there was a very interesting dynamic in play between the five of them where Elijah romantically had eyes for Harrison (who was straight), Harrison and Kaya had an on and off again fling for most of their lives, and Roman had eyes for Kaya who generally didn’t give him the time of day outside of friendship. Where Antonio fits into all of this is UTP as well — we’ve always joked that he was the most ‘unbothered’ out of them all but obviously, the more drama the better! How Antonio feels about Elijah’s actions post-breakup and/or Roman’s reaction is also UTP. 

In terms of personality, ‘unbothered’ is actually quite a good word to describe him. He’s the most lax member, the one with the ability to keep a calm and sturdy head amongst the common chaos of band life in LA. He had a real passion for the band that ensured he was loved by the general public, too! Of course, though, we’d love if you made Antonio your own so please don’t be afraid to insert your own vision wherever you can! Meaning personality is UTP, this is just a general outline for vibe if you’re stuck!

We have tons of silly Amethyst headcanons built up that we’d love to share, plus musings and such for inspo <3

Do you need to be contacted by the potential applicant? — Yes please! Either Elijah or Roman's blog is perfect.
