    personality

    Being the heir to the throne is something that August Young takes in stride. As the oldest son of the tech pioneer Atticus Young, he is expected to continue the legacy of his father, which is exactly what August plans to do. After all, Atticus paved his own way in this world, just as his father (and his father) had done before him. Taking this into account, August carries himself in a dignified manner, a regal and elegant young man with a promising future ahead of him. He tries not to be too proud - after all, no one likes a show off - but he also wants everyone to know that he's going to be somebody. He's not going to mooch off of the success of his ancestors before him in order to get ahead in life. No, August is going to do this all on his own. And don't you ever use the words "nepo baby" to describe him, because that is not what he is. That is not what he stands for.
    
    He's all business - as in, all work and no play. Good times aren't really what he has in mind for himself. August is brutally honest, not mincing his words to save anyone the trouble of hurt feelings. And cracking a joke? Not going to happen. But that doesn't mean that he's fully robotic - he's got a heart in there. Though he's determined to be a success, when it comes down to his relationships, they're a far cry from being what he'd consider successful. His past relationships have all ended in disaster, with the majority of the girls he's dated summing him up as being too stone-faced for their likings. But more on those past relationships later.
    
    August can be seen as impatient - he wants it now, he wants it all, and he wants to do it his way. But he knows that all good things come to those who wait, and he continuously tries to keep his composure, but more often than not, he ends up blowing his top. Blame it on being a spoiled rich kid, I guess. But he's not a bad guy, necessarily. Though his many flaws outweigh his few good qualities, August is genuinely trying his best. And isn't that what we should all strive to be?

    background

    
    The Young lineage always produces male heirs - always. This goes all the way back to Abel Young, who was the first Young to reside in Autumnvale in 1879. A twenty-seven year old Abel, armed with twenty-five dollars and a dream, set up a general store in the town, which was little more than a ghost town in those days. Abel could have easily failed in his venture, especially considering the state of lawlessness going on in Autumnvale at the time, but to his own surprise, Young's General Store took off as the town slowly began to gain more residents. And, five years later, a now-successful Abel would soon meet the new schoolmaster, a young woman from New York named Josephine Norton. He was easily smitten by her beauty, charm, and smarts - and a marriage was soon to follow.
    
    Two children would be born in rapid succession - the small, sickly Jacob in 1887, and the healthy, lively Albert at the start of 1889. Both of them survived past birth, which was like music to both Abel and Josephine's ears. But Jacob kept on catching illness, and in 1899, shortly after his twelfth birthday, he would succumb to scarlet fever. This devastated his poor mother, who would follow suit not too long after Jacob's untimely departure - perhaps it was a broken heart. Everything seemed to be going down the drain as the turn of the century loomed ahead of Abel and Albert. A new general store popped up, threatening to take business away from Abel. It all seemed absolutely dismal...until Abel was approached by the new, wealthy merchant with his new shop.
    
    The merchant Morrison, whose first name is lost to time now, offered to buy Abel out in exchange for a managerial role at the new store. At first, he hesitated, because he was a proud man, and his store was his livelihood, but after some deliberation, he reluctantly accepted. Gone was Young's General Store - it was now the second location of Morrison and Co.'s Grocery, this time focusing on dry goods and the like, while the first was grocery-oriented. Abel would be the manager of this second location until his death in 1915.
    
    Moving on to Albert, by the time he came of age, he had gotten swept into the new technology of film. With a little bit of money he had saved from working in the town mine and the rest borrowed from his father, he was able to get into the business and opened his very own nickelodeon parlor in 1910, bringing entertainment to the once-dull Autumnvale. Albert traveled to New Jersey to find out more about the industry, but would soon be tipped off by a disgruntled ex-employee of Edison that he wouldn't find anything in New Jersey - everything had moved across the country to California. An eager-eyed Albert, desperate to learn anything and everything he could about this great new invention, made the long train ride over to the west coast.
    
    Albert forgot all about the movies once he met a petite blonde who had been in a handful of short films in Hollywood. He swept her off of her feet from the first moment they locked eyes, and the rest is history. Eva Hamilton became Mrs. Albert Young shortly after they returned to Autumnvale in 1913, but their marriage would be short-lived. After the birth of their only son, Alfred, in 1916, Albert would be sent to war the following year. He did not return home alive before the war ended in 1918, leaving Eva a widow and a mother of a small child. She turned to a life of sewing, becoming a seamstress in order to keep afloat - she did not want to marry again, for her heart belonged to one man and one man only.
    
    Morrison and Co.'s Grocery closed both locations in 1943, leaving Abel Young's memory far gone in the past. But Young Automotive would soon bring pride back to the Young name. It's still in operation to this day, just under new management.
    
    Alfred came of age during the height of the Great Depression. He would be drafted into the army at 25, serving his country overseas during the Second World War. But unlike his late father, he returned home safely. He decided to start up a car dealership, selling Chevrolets at fair prices. He married Mary Brewer in 1950, and their only son, Andrew, was born in 1952 - August's grandfather. But more on August later.
    
    Andrew started working at the dealership after he graduated high school - he wasn't physically fit to join the Vietnam War due to his scoliosis. Not that he would ever think about going off and fighting in the war, anyway. He was a hippie in those days. He was so much a hippie that a son was born out of wedlock shortly after he turned nineteen in 1971. The son, named Atticus, grew up with parents who didn't really love each other. They reluctantly got married at the urging of both sets of parents, but that ended in divorce six years later. Atticus was flip-flopped between his parents, but that didn't really bother him much - something else was preoccupying his mind.
    
    Atticus took a keen interest in the new tech boom - computers were starting to gain some steam in the everyday consumer market. And so he went off to college for computer science, the first Young to do so since landing in Autumnvale over a hundred years ago. And when the Internet began to take off in the early to mid 90's, he took advantage of it and made a killing through his company, Ignis. Ignis has since branched off to encompass all things technology, and is still around and extremely profitable to this day.
    
    Atticus' first wife, Ellen, gave birth to his only son, August, in 1998. They divorced not long after his birth, and Atticus got remarried to a former supermodel, Violet Agnelli. They're still married and have two children of their own, August's half-siblings.
    
    August grew up, went to college, and returned a studious man following in his father's footsteps. Will he succeed like all of his ancestors have in the past? Only time will tell.

    personality

    Who's always down for a good time? Why, Bethany Graham, of course. Her wild child persona might have been charming back in high school, but now it's just sad. She's an attention-seeking nobody desperate for people to notice her, and if that means doing outlandish things to get that attention, then best believe she's going to do whatever it takes. Partying is in her blood at this point, though some might say she needs to go to rehab. Either way, Bethie's got a rebel streak in her that no one could ever dream of squashing.
    
    It's as if Beth's stuck in the past, back when she was a popular cheerleader at Autumnvale High. She peaked in high school, clearly, and is still trying to chase that high to this day. She knows that she'll never be as successful as her other siblings, and that has led to her essentially just giving up. Nothing good ever seems to happen to her in her eyes. Bethany believes that she has bad luck, though that isn't always the case. She's still standing at the end of the day, so isn't that something to be proud of? Don't tell her that, or else she'll blow her top. But she'll never receive good advice - she's surrounded by like-minded people who continue to drag her down. Until Bethie finally cuts them off for good, she's going to continue to be the same ol' delusional woman she's always been.
    
    Now, Beth isn't cold-hearted, by any means, but she does have a mean side to her that comes out more often than not. This can be seen in the way that her sharp tongue can wound someone in an instant. And stubborn, stubborn, stubborn, that Bethany. If she puts it in her mind that she's not going to do something, then she's not going to do it. What she is, however, is lonely. She despises being alone, and more often than not can be found in someone's bed at the end of the night. Bethany being in her own company often leads to self-destructive tendencies, which is why she turns to one night stands to help ease her troubled mind. And going to work? Please - since her parents are in good standing with the Young family, she can call out "sick" any time she doesn't feel like coming in without any repercussions. Lately, however, she's been forced to actually go in - something about a big deal at Ignis is going on or something. As if they'd ever let her know every little detail.
    
    So yeah, Bethie's a total hot mess. But everyone can't always be perfect, and she's the prime example of that.

    background

    
    The year was 1986, and a fourteen-year old Emma Sullivan was reluctant to move across the country from sunny San Diego to the middle of nowhere - Autumnvale, Pennsylvania. Her parents had just gotten divorced, and in typical teenage fashion, she was feeling all angsty about the situation. Her very life was being torn apart by something that she couldn't control, and everything seemed to be crumbling down around her. So, with that being said, the transition from the west to the east coast was rocky, to say the least.
    
    But when she actually got to Autumnvale with her newly single and independent mother, she actually began to like it...or rather, a boy from Autumnvale. His name? Jason Graham, a fellow freshman at Autumnvale High. They were instantly smitten with each other, and a high school relationship quickly began. They got married right after high school in 1990, and a set of twin boys, Benjamin James and Bennett Jasper, followed suit in the fall of 1991. A girl, Bambi Ava (named after the twins' affinity for the Disney movie of the same name) came along in 1995.
    
    Their last child was unexpected. By the time the end of the decade rolled around, Emma and Jason were disagreeing about any and everything. A divorce was brewing - but Emma had the genius idea to trap Jason into the marriage by having another baby on purpose. The result was another daughter, Bethany Catherine, born in the hot July of 1999. And, unsurprising to none, Emma and Jason went through with a divorce the following year. Split custody was awarded to each of them - Jason got the boys, and Emma got the girls. This wouldn't work out very well in the long run, but hey, what do all the research studies about split custody having detrimental mental health effects on the children involve know anyway?
    
    The twins graduated from Autumnvale High in 2010 (their birthdays put them at a disadvantage), with Benjamin going to college for electrical engineering and Bennett for finance. They graduated with honors and now hold good-paying jobs in their respective industries. Bambi graduated three years later in 2013, and is now pursuing her dream of being an OB/GYN at med school. But what about Bethany?
    
    Well, Bethany loved high school. She loved it so much that she couldn't stop crying the day she graduated in 2017. Why? Because she was popular. She was cheer captain, which made her the hottest girl in school. So when that went up in smoke come graduation, she didn't know what to do with herself. So her father got her on with Ignis as a secretary - he was good friends with Atticus Young, and with his longtime personal secretary retiring after twenty-five years on the job, it just made sense for Bethany to fill that role. It's where she's been ever since, her family's disappointment.

    personality

    Despite these gifs showing you otherwise, Christian Buchanan is nothing but a miserable ol' grump. Call him an old soul if you want, but sometimes it feels as if Chris's a crotchety old man rather than a twenty-something. Long afternoons on the farm, paired with gig after gig seemingly every night lead to a night owl lifestyle. And if you dare wake him up before his alarm clock does, be prepared to face his wrath. But there's a deeper side to ol' Chris-Cross Applesauce. Deep within himself, he's a melancholic soul, looking for something more out of this cold world. This can be reflected in his music - his loneliness can be felt from miles away while he strums his fingers on a guitar, moaning those lonesome blues. All of his past relationships and failures has led him to believe that he can be easily replaced.
    
    So what does this mean? In Christian's eyes, it means that love is unattainable for him...at least, a permanent kind of love. No one sticks around long enough for that to happen. Who would, with the way he talks down about himself? All he wants is to be loved. All he wants is to love somebody. But no one will grant that luxury to him. So when he gets lonely, he hops from bed to bed, leaving feelings behind. Trading all that emotional crap in for temporary satisfaction is so in these days, anyway. No one could ever love someone as beastly as himself. Nothing's going to save him from his own self-destruction. His crutch? His music...and the bottle. Anyone recalling a certain country great who lost the battle to the bottle? No? Just me? Anyway, he's lost all hope of making it in this world, plain and simple.

    background

    
    tw: age gap, slight biphobia on his father's part
    
    The Buchanan family farm has been in operation since 1962, when a then-forty year old Robert John Buchanan decided to ditch the big city behind for a rural lifestyle. He had just married a local teacher, Mary Alden, and their first child was on its way. Mary would leave the education field for good in order to raise the child, who turned out to be a girl. They named her Lisa, and not long after, a son arrived. Michael would inherit the farm, because to be honest, it was the 60's, and Robert was old as hell to begin with. Poor Lisa. At least she got to be self-sufficient later on in the 80's as a single mother of three. But anyway, back to Robert and Mary.
    
    They didn't stop with just two kids. Why would they? It's not like overpopulation's a big problem...oh wait. They didn't know it - he was a farmer, and she was a housewife. But I, the omnipotent writer of this history, know that. Shame on you, Robert and Mary. Shame. David, Susan, and James were babies three, four, and five, coming in quick succession. Mary had had five children within the span of seven years. Her body was tired. So no more baby-making for her, at least for the rest of the 60's...
    
    1971. Surprise, surprise. A thirty-nine year old Mary would fall pregnant once more, this time with twins. Jennifer and Amy were the final two children - Mary had to have an emergency hysterectomy following their birth. Poor Mary.
    
    Anyway, back to Michael, because he's who we're following now. He grew up learning the tricks and trades that the farm had to offer, with Robert preparing him to be the heir to the throne. And when Robert retired in 1987 at the age of 65, it's exactly what happened. Oh, and Lisa? She had gotten married at eighteen, popped out three kids with that bozo, then kicked him to the curb when he cheated on her. Her three children, Jessica, Christopher, and Matthew, turned out alright.
    
    Michael got married in 1994, but the marriage ended in divorce three years later without any heir to the farm. His young nephew Christopher looked to be the heir, but Michael would be damned if he didn't have a son of his own to continue the legacy. So he remarried, this time to Christine Barton. She gave him what he craved, a son. That son would grow up to be Christian.
    
    But Christian was strange from the get-go, at least in Michael's eyes. He took to music, rather than the farm, even though he was obligated to help out. And, worse, he came out as bisexual. No heir? No hair - because Michael's losing it, and fast. Hopefully it's just a phase, he says. But I, the omnipotent writer of this history, know that it is NOT just a phase.
    
    Christian is currently working on his family's farm. He also plays gigs when available for extra cash.

    personality

    
    Despite her world turning upside down after her breakup, Destiny has remained happy-go-lucky and carefree. She's never not been a ray of sunshine among all of the storm clouds gathering around her. She's a glass half full kinda girl - nothing's going to bring her down. Destiny's an absolute sweetheart who just wants the best for everyone. She can come off as a bit ditzy sometimes, but that's perfectly okay with her. She doesn't care what people think about her. She makes friends with just about everyone she meets. Destiny lives with her head in the clouds - she's a dreamer. She doesn't think before she does things, instead going on impulse.
    
    She's also not focused on school that much, but she does rely on her quick thinking and creativity in tight situations. Destiny really doesn't dabble in love or relationships, especially after what happened to her. Instead, she chooses to forge platonic bonds with those closest to her. She does stand up for herself, though. Though she may look like she could blow over with one gust of wind, she's not entirely rainbows and roses. If pushed to her limit, then prepare to see a fiery little thing. Although Destiny despises traveling, she does like to experience new things. Destiny has many goals in life, and she wants to complete them all.

    background

    
    tw: mention of overdose, drug abuse, drug addiction, alcohol abuse, alcohol addiction, miscarriage, stillbirth, being pregnant in general, car accident
    
    Fifty-three years ago, the newly married James and Mary Baldwin settled in Los Angeles after moving from England. They quickly began to bring children into the world, starting with Michael. A little over a year later, they added Jennifer to the mix, followed by Christopher, Amy, Jason, and Melissa. David, Michelle, and John made nine. And, to end the decade, their final child, a boy, would be born on New Year's Eve 1979. It was only fitting that his parents christened him James Baldwin Jr.
    
    Ten children in ten years led to a lot of mouths to feed for James Sr. and his wife. Luckily for their large family, James Sr. had a great job working in the private sector. Mary, on the other hand, was a stay at home mother, and she was sick and tired of being pregnant by this point. She would get pregnant twice more in the decade to come, but neither pregnancy resulted in a living child. The first would have been a baby girl, but she was stillborn. The second pregnancy resulted in an emergency hysterectomy having to be performed on Mary after a miscarriage caused her to nearly bleed out. That effectively ended the first generation of Baldwin children to be born in Los Angeles.
    
    James Jr. was the rowdiest of the Baldwin children from the day he was born. The trouble he got into reached as far back as preschool, and continued all the way until he dropped out of high school at sixteen. His drug use and alcoholism spun out of control, particularly after he got a former classmate of his, Valerie Walsh, pregnant at seventeen. With a constantly inebriated James Jr. and a still-in-school Valerie, it was left up to James Sr. and Mary to raise their newest grandchild, a girl that Valerie named Destiny, choosing to keep her own last name for her daughter. It would prove to be the best scenario for the young Destiny, as her parents would soon separate. James Jr. would overdose shortly after, leaving Destiny without a father. Valerie would tragically lose her life in a car accident three years later, leaving poor Destiny an orphan.
    
    For the first three years of Destiny's life, her mother and grandparents were all she had. Then, all too soon, a drunk driver took her mother away from her. She didn't understand why she couldn't see her beloved mother (because, after all, she was only three when she passed away), and it was heartbreaking for everyone involved in the situation. How does someone explain to a three year old that her mother wasn't coming home?
    
    The tragedies that had befallen the Baldwin family ceased altogether after Valerie's death, to everyone's relief. Because of the sudden losses of both of Destiny's parents, her grandparents gave him special treatment. She was their prized possession, sitting high on a pedestal. Nobody could touch Destiny as long as her grandparents were around. Whatever Destiny wanted, she would get, and for good reason - despite the fact that she was spoiled beyond all belief, she had no parents to come home to after school.
    
    Destiny had a relatively normal childhood even after losing both of her parents. She did regret not having them around, but she thought it was better this way, especially after finding out about her father's drug and alcohol abuse problems. She was ashamed of her father's addictions, and was determined not to follow in his footsteps. She took on cheerleading, soccer, and track as she got older - anything to make her stand out. There was nothing that she couldn't or wouldn't do - she was a daredevil with no fear in her heart. High school would come and go, and she would get a scholarship to the prestigious University of Southern California, her first choice when it came to colleges. But she decided to take a chance on a small liberal arts college in the heart of the East Coast - Autumnvale University.
    
    It was around the time of her high school graduation that she met Doreen Adams, and a whirlwind romance followed suit. They moved in together rather quickly, and were engaged six months into the relationship. But by the time that she was ready to walk down the aisle, Doreen had fallen for someone else, leaving her utterly heartbroken. So she moved into the apartment above the coffee shop she works at, living alone for the first time in her life. It's where she remains to this day.

    Ella has always been a smart girl. Even as a child, wit came as naturally to her as breathing, and it shows. She has a quick mind and an affinity for logic. This isn't always the first thing people remember about her though. Ella is very outgoing and warm, often coming across initially as just a good time influencer and party girl even though she holds a PhD in robotics. Her confidence and relaxed charisma draws people in, she doesn't show much self doubt even if sometimes she feels like she isn't living up to her full potential. She has a great sense of humor and often cracks jokes to lighten the mood. She does value intelligence, but doesn't have much ambition beyond experimenting for her personal enjoyment, she isn't completely sure of what to do with her skills.
    
    An optimist, Ella likes to find the good in things. But, that doesn't mean she can't see the bad. No, she's extremely observant and can spot flaws from a mile away. She's extremely honest and will point these out, but due to her glass half full views of the world she likes to bring up something good to balance it out, as well as offering up solutions to any problems. She's friendly enough, but when shit hits the fan she tends to stick to the sidelines, observing and judging.
    
    She has many surface level relationships, but doesn't let many people in deeper than that. One of the few people who truly knows her is her brother and best friend, Sheldon. Ella is incredibly loyal and keeps to her word, but best believe that if you tell her a secret it's going to Sheldon as well (fortunately he's also a good secret keeper). If you take more time to get to know her, you'll realize that her extremely outgoing persona is a facade, something she maintains because it gets her praise. She can be a lot more mellow around those she trusts, becoming quieter and more down to earth.

    Sheldon has always been a bit quiet, tending to keep to himself in social situations, a wallflower at parties. But, that doesn't mean he can't have fun. If you get him in a small group, he's very chill and has a mellow charisma about him. He can also be a huge flirt around those he wants to win over. He's pretty sure of himself, although some may think the opposite due to his reserved nature, once you get a closer look it's obvious he can be a cocky son of a bitch. He knows he's charming, smart (well, at least he acts like he is), athletic, rich... what more could people want?
    
    He can be very judgmental towards other people, but he's subtle about it. Often this takes the form of a side eye and a whispered side comment given to his sister. The most obvious judgement you'll get is a sarcastic comment that doesn't immediately read as negative. Pretty tight lipped, even if he's judging you and anything he's heard about you, he's not one to gossip so whatever he's heard won't be getting around. However, he's not the most honest of people and can be very two faced if he's unsure of you or doesn't like you, pulling out the charm and then rolling his eyes behind your back.
    
    Sheldon does tend to see the worst in people, but if you manage to get through to him he'll warm up a lot. To those he's close to, he's loyal and would do anything they asked of him. Judging less and less as he begins to trust someone. Even with those he doesn't know too well, he's harsh and judgmental, but not cruel. With a neutral face and a little eye roll, he'll begrudgingly help those in need.

Name: Martin Dukakis
Age: 41
Gender: Cisgender Male
Sexuality: ???
DOB: Feb. 12th
POB: Pittsburgh, PA
Occupation: Therapist
Personality: Helpful, but Neurotic
Faceclaim: Dylan Baker



History: Martin is a therapist descended from a long line of criminally insane relatives. After his brother Ronald nearly strangled someone to death, Martin decided that it was probably a good idea to move to a calmer town. His practice has been up for around five years, and he knows a lot of secrets. While it is his duty to keep what he knows confidential, he cannot help but feel like certian people must know the truth. Sometimes he worries if he is like his family... and maybe he is.

Age: 23
Gender: Cisgender Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
DOB: July 25th
POB: Los Angeles, California
Occupation: Film Director
Personality: Passionate, yet Pretencious
Faceclaim: Abhi Sinha



History: Lenny is a film student trying to make a new art-house film. He was kicked out of his old school because the movie he made was "too controversial." Many think he is just using his project as an excuse to talk to pretty women (he is), but he really wants to break into the scene. He is willing to go to great lengths to get a scene, and as a result has become infamous in the town as a "noisy outsider." His newest film idea is vague, but it involves recording ordinary people going about their lives.

  Casey stands tall at 5'10", possessing a sun-kissed tan that defines her refined features. Her long, flowing dark hair, gently cascading in waves, frames her face, adding an air of effortless grace to her presence. Her almond-shaped eyes exude a quiet intensity, hinting at depths of wisdom and experience. Her strong features reveal a sense of seriousness and class that emanates from within.
  
  Physically slender, Casey maintains a toned physique, a testament to her commitment to staying in shape. She has a soft scar on her right cheek, and an even deeper and more visible one on her left side waist, a reminder of a past moment etched into her skin. The faint mark, nestled against her complexion, adds a touch of uniqueness to her visage.
  
  Clad in comfortable yet smart attire, her wardrobe consists of semi-casual ensembles—jeans paired with button-up shirts, sleeves meticulously rolled up—a style that seamlessly blends comfort with sophistication.

  Casey William's arrival in Autumnvale remained a mystery to most. She stepped into the small town's quiet streets like a shadow, her past veiled behind a curtain of enigma. With only two months under her belt, she managed a quaint flower shop beneath her modest apartment, where she lived in solitude except for the company of her loyal feline companion, Pablo.
  
  Her past was a locked vault, and any inquiry about it was met with a defensive and or sarcastic retort. Some may be curious only of her enigmatic aura, leaving them to speculate about the mysterious newcomer.
  
  However, Casey has a past not known by anyone. Little did they know that she was once a high-profile and controversial lawyer in the heart of New York City. Her clientele? Notoriously tied to the city's organized crime scene. For years, she defended one of the most powerful figures in New York's underworld, forming an intimate yet precarious relationship with him.
  
  However, her conscience eventually tugged at her, and under the duress of FBI blackmail, she agreed to collaborate with them to bring down the crime lord she once defended. The repercussions were severe. The crime leader, feeling betrayed, ordered a hit on her life.
  
  Miraculously surviving the assassination attempt, Casey continued to assist the FBI, ultimately leading to her entry into the Witness Protection Program. With a new identity and a new life in Autumnvale, she sought refuge, hoping to evade the danger that lurked in the shadows of her past.
  
  Choosing to live in secrecy, albeit temporarily, she concealed her true identity beneath the alias she had adopted, "Casey Williams", masking her history behind a facade of detachment and guarded sarcasm. In Autumnvale, she found solace among the blooming flowers she tended to, forging a tranquil existence far removed from the chaos and danger of her previous life.

  Jamie cuts a sturdy figure at 5'11, his robust frame reflecting years of labor as a mechanic. Despite his rugged appearance, there's a charm to his scruffy demeanor. He holds a certain warmth and kindness that's immediately inviting. His boyish smile effortlessly lights up his features, adding a friendly and approachable vibe to him.
  
  Jamie's eyes, a striking shade of green, carry an earnest twinkle within them. His hair, a rich chocolate brown, adds to his rugged appeal, often tousled from long hours spent fixing machinery. Overall, Joey's appearance blends a rugged, hardworking exterior with a genuine and endearing presence.
  
  Jamie embraces a wholly casual approach to his wardrobe, steering clear of anything fancy or ostentatious. His fashion sense remains rooted in a down-to-earth and practical demeanor. The lumberjack style defines his attire, often opting for the comfort and durability of flannel shirts, well-loved and frequently worn. Beneath the cozy flannels, he favors simple, white fitted shirts, adding a touch of understated neatness to his ensemble without sacrificing comfort.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  
  Jamie exudes a "happy-go-lucky" aura, often carrying a cheerful disposition that brightens the world around him. His character is defined by wholesomeness and an unyielding work ethic, consistently putting in the effort to achieve his goals. Despite his amiable nature, Jamie grapples with social awkwardness and a tendency for clumsiness in expressing himself verbally.
  
  Being closeted, Jamie guards this aspect of his identity closely, revealing it to very few. Marrying at a tender age of 18, he carries a lingering sense of yearning for a life that aligns more authentically with his true self, occasionally slipping into moments of melancholy as he navigates this internal conflict.
  
  His caring and loyal nature shine through in his relationship with his high school best friend turned sweetheart and wife. Jamie's devotion to her is unwavering, demonstrating a deep sense of commitment and passion in caring for her needs, even though his heart secretly longs for a different kind of fulfillment.
  
  Despite grappling with personal complexities, Jamie remains a compassionate and devoted individual, diligently shouldering responsibilities and supporting those closest to him. His multifaceted personality, blending cheerful optimism with inner struggles and a profound sense of loyalty, makes him a character that's hard to hate.
  
• 
  
  
  
  Jamie's life began in the quaint town of Autumnvale, nestled within the heartland where he was raised by a devoutly evangelical Christian family. His upbringing was deeply entrenched in faith, with his father having served as a respected pastor in the community. The family owned a prosperous car mechanic business, and from a young age, Jamie found himself immersed in the world of engines and wrenches.
  
  Growing up among four rambunctious brothers made his childhood anything but dull. However, as time passed, some of his siblings ventured out to explore new horizons in the bustling cityscape, while Jamie chose to remain in Autumnvale. He found solace in the familiar surroundings and embraced the responsibility of managing the family's thriving business, preferring the quiet and serene lifestyle the town offered.
  
  During his high school years, amidst the backdrop of small-town life, Jamie crossed paths with Mia, who would soon become his closest confidante and future wife. Their bond deepened, culminating in marriage shortly after they graduated. The picture-perfect image of their life together unfolded in a cozy house adorned with a white picket fence, creating a serene haven for their budding family.
  
  However, Jamie harbored a secret that weighed heavily on his heart. It was during his high school years that he grappled with his sexual orientation, realizing his attraction to one of his closest friends. The revelation of being gay instilled fear and confusion within him, especially considering the strict and staunchly homophobic environment he was raised in. Witnessing the derogatory comments and disdainful remarks made by his father towards the LGBTQ+ community filled Jamie with dread, forcing him to suppress his true self, perceiving his feelings as something inherently wrong.
  
  Despite this internal struggle, Jamie found contentment in his life with Mia, eagerly anticipating the arrival of their first child. Focusing on becoming a devoted and caring father while providing for his family became Jamie's priority, even as he navigated the complexities of concealing his identity in a world that didn't readily accept it. His aspiration to create a loving and nurturing environment for his family served as both his solace and his ongoing challenge as he balanced his personal truth with societal expectations.

  Age

  23 Years old

  February 6th

  Gender

  Cis woman (She/Her)

  Orientation

  Questioning

  Appearance

  Standing at a short 5'0 Lark's figure is slight and not very strong looking, though she could throw a mean punch when angered.
  
  A cascade of soft, flowing hair frames her features, giving her the impression of an almost fay, enchanting temptress accentuated by the way she moved. Melodically, innately, as if she was full of this subtle grace, a rhythm that echoed in the sway of her hips and the delicate curve of her shoulders.
  
  Her eyes, a soft shade of blue, permanently wide and gleaming like snowglobes, seemed to carry the weight of the world in them, begging for someone to take her somewhere else.
  
  She had a sweet, cherubic nature about her face despite being marred by a constant sorrowful pout, calling others in like moths to flames to ask her what thoughts lay beyond her eyes. It was this mysterious quality to her, a blend of beauty and melancholy that left an unforgettable mark on those who dared to get close. Like claws, ruining everything she touched.
  
  Her fashion sense was as unconventional as her personality. You'd catch her most days rocking a mishmash of thrift store finds, always somehow making mismatched patterns and colors look effortlessly cool. It was like she had a sixth sense for turning an eclectic mix of clothing into an artwork that she likely got from her adoptive mother.
  
  Lark's makeup, when she chose to wear any, was a subtle craft. A touch of smudged eyeliner to accentuate her soulful gaze, or a hint of lipstick added a touch of life to her otherwise muted palette. She had an innate ability to turn imperfections into a statement. She looked her best at her worst.
  
  Her jewelry was a collection of oddities— trinkets that held sentimental worth only to her. Bracelets adorned with charms of questionable origin jingled as she moved, creating a soft, melodic soundtrack to her erratic footsteps. Rings adorned every finger, each one looking older than the last.
  
  Her skin was porcelain pale, almost ghostly and there were moments when a nervous twitch would dance across her features before she gave a little grin to whoever had the pleasure of her company.

  Personality

  Soft-spoken and easily wounded, Lark carried the weight of her existence like an unwanted weight. Life, to her, felt like a burden on everyone around her, including herself, a struggle she couldn't seem to escape.
  
  Her existence, a constant dance between self-loathing and acceptance. As if standing at a crossroads, always unsure if she truly despised herself or was merely indifferent to the concept of living like this altogether.
  
  She hated how people looked at her. Always dreaming of a connection that went deeper than the surface all her life, but it was as if people only saw her with pity or lust— missing the intricate layers that composed the real her. The ingrained kindness in her being, the softness that defined her, was missed by others so often she was unsure if it really existed herself.
  
  If only they could see her as she did herself. How she was the type of person who would make others little gifts or listen to other's woes at the drop of a hat. How there was a hint of wistfulness about her, always bittersweet.
  
  How she kept a notebook with her to scribble down poems and notes on her friend's likes and dislikes. How she got excited over every little thing and loved to dance. But most of all how alone she felt.
  
  No one understood her. Bone deep, she knew this was the truth, and it wasn't just some wild delusion or paranoia, despite what many of her therapists insisted. They always seemed to have something to say about her. About how she needed to change. When would it be someone else's turn to be in the wrong? When would it be her turn to be cared for?
  
  Lark knew all about her episodes, how she pulled away and ran, how it hurt everyone involved, and how they were right to leave. She knew the ugly truth that she yelled and screamed and cried and became a horrible mirror of a person. Not someone to love. She knew it all too well.
  
  She knew she was unreasonable, volatile, and unkind when these fits came about. A monster wearing human skin. So if she stayed away, maybe then she wouldn't mess up again and cling to someone who didn't want her?
  
  She needed to be fixed, but she didn't want to be fixed. She had her flaws she knew that, but did that make her unlovable? A bad person? She tried so hard and yet... It wasn't worth the trouble was it?
  
  She was afraid to hurt anyone else. They were better off with her pulling away and doing nothing but going to psychiatrists and hanging out at parks and drinking coffee and minding her own business.
  
  And yet, in the chaos of her mind, there's a glimmer of hope— a tiny flicker that refused to be extinguished. A hope that maybe, just maybe, someone would see past the walls she'd built. But then, as quickly as that hope surfaces, it's overshadowed by the looming fear of rejection, a fear that she'd never be good enough.
• Backstory

  Lark's life began in a home no one should endure. Her father, a mere phantom in her earliest memories, vanished before she could grasp the concept of his existence.
  
  His absence left a void, quickly filled by an ever-changing roster of her mother's boyfriends, each one a brief figure vying for attention and affection from an innocent child who had unwittingly become the pawn in a warped game of emotional chess.
  
  Her mother, burdened by resentment, saw Lark as a rival, saw a child as a threat to her relationships. The home that should have been a haven turned into a nightmare where Lark was forced to navigate a world she should have never been exposed to. Fending for herself. The scars of physical and mental abuse marked her, etching deep into the core of her personality.
  
  It took the intervention of authorities to pry her from the clutches of her harsh reality. She was placed in foster care at thirteen years old, going from home to home, each placement unraveling due to Lark's unstable mind and outbursts.
  
  It wasn't until fate intervened and she met the Crestwoods two years later that she had found a place to call a home. In their embrace, Lark found a sanctuary, a place of safety. For the first time, love and security were a reality.
  
  Yet, the stability she experienced couldn't erase the scars engraved in her being. The instability persisted, manifesting in periodic mental breaks and fits that punctuated the otherwise serene facade of the Crestwood household.
  
  She was thrust into fancy private schools, but that ended up proving futile as she hopscotched through schools, her actions got her thrown out and labeled crazy. She went from place to place never fitting in until she gave up and did the remainder of her schooling at home.
  
  Not to mention the horror story that was trying to get the girl to attend Charity Galas or the other high society events her parents attended.
  
  At the age of seventeen, the fragile illusion of love shattered into pieces. Lark discovered the truth behind her adoption— her parents were not driven by a wish for a family of their own, no, they'd been driven by the desire for philanthropic publicity, to be seen as generous by their wealthy friends and the press.
  
  She was something they could parade around and tell the world how good of people they were. She was nothing to them. Nothing. She was a poor little animal they had taken in, not someone to care for— Or at least, that's what Lark believed.
  
  The revelation plunged her into a downward spiral. She found herself in and out of mental hospitals, adorned with diagnoses that painted her as some broken damsel. Worst of all she couldn't be fixed— BPD, ADHD, and a host of other disorders all stuck with her. Haunting her.
  
  Despite the daunting challenges, she clung to the remnants of a sweet personality, a glimmer of light that refused to be extinguished throughout all of her life.
  
  Even as she became an adult, it all seemed out of reach. College demanded stability and focus, traits she just couldn't muster up in the end. It all just proved to be impossible, just as every attempt at normalcy in her life had.
  
  So, as she always seemed to do. She ran away from her problems. Once again going from place to place, in and out of psychiatrist offices, in and out of hospitals. She moved to Autumnvale, Pennsylvania, when she was twenty-one and has somehow stayed in the town since.
  
  She had her share of incidents, yes, namely throwing a chair through the window of a nearby coffee shop, but she had kept herself mostly sane. Sure, she hasn't been out much to keep things like that from happening as often. Hiding in the large house her parents had bought for her instead, only going out alone. But...
  
  She didn't have to run, and that was good enough for her.

  Relationships

  Magnolia Crestwood

  Her adoptive mother
  
  Loves Lark very much, though Lark doesn't believe it anymore. She tries to support her child as much as she can. Lark's mother was born into an old wealthy family rich in oil that she despised for its unsustainability, once gaining the company as its heir, shutting it down. Despite not having a company her wealth let her follow her passions. Her keen eye for fashion and trends led her to establish her own fashion line after marrying Heath. Her passion revitalized the Crestyle stores and was the final push to lead them into the spotlight. Magnolia is known for her impeccable taste, attending high-profile events and galas as a fashion icon. She founded Crestwood Foundation, a charity that focuses on access to education and healthcare, her passion project to use the family wealth for good.
  
  

  Heath Crestwood

  Her adoptive father
  
  He adores Lark and gives her anything she'd ever want despite the misunderstanding Lark has about their intentions for adopting her. He is a charismatic and shrewd businessman who inherited his family's shop. Raised with an entrepreneurial spirit, Heath took charge of the business, ensuring its growth and success. Under Heath's leadership, with help from his wife, Crestyle became a store that soared in popularity, becoming almost a household name. They sold almost anything fashion-related, from shoes to bags to perfume and Heath made sure that every product was worth its price.

Faceclaim: Natascha McElhone

Name: Jennifer Lynn Murphy
Nicknames: Jenny Lynn (most used), Jenny (preferred)
Age: Twenty-seven
Gender: Cisgender Female
Sexuality: Lesbian
Birthday: March 7th
Birthplace: Autumnvale, PA
Occupation: Owner of Murphy & Sons Hardware
Personality: Quiet, patient, observant, thoughtful, honest. Tired.
Looks: Green eyes, long brown hair, tall—looks exactly like her mother. Dresses exactly like her father: flannels, tanks, jeans, and a perpetual tool belt.
History: Jennifer is the only daughter in a family of three older brothers: Jerome, Jeremy, and Jeffery. Growing up her favorite thing to do was sit in front of the TV watching the news and practicing her reporter voice, hoping her stutter would eventually go away so she could become a reporter (it never did). Jenny turned to journalism instead, choosing to develop her gift of writing in place of her voice. As a teen she started out by writing obituaries in the town newspaper. Ten years ago, she wrote one for her mother.
Her relationship with her father is civil at best. Though he doesn’t know how to have a daughter, he’s taught her everything she knows about home repairs and hardware. Murphy & Sons was her grandfather’s business, and with his three sons, her father was excited to carry on the Murphy legacy with them. But Jenny’s brothers didn’t want to manage the store, and as soon as they went off to college all three moved away for good. Because she cared too much for the store to close or get sold out of the family—her father had been hurt too much—she decided to give up her scholarship and her admission into the journalism school at the University of Michigan… and she’s lived in Autumnvale ever since.
That was ten years ago. She can’t bear to leave, and between running the store and caring for her father, she’s stuck. It’s not all bad though. She loves the town and its residents, loves helping them with their problems. She’s content with her life having its same routines and same sights and same faces. But of course, she still wishes things were different. If you stop by the hardware shop, you’ll find a jar behind the counter with funds to change the sign on the storefront from Murphy and Sons to just Murphy’s Hardware. At the store Jenny always seems to know what you’re looking for before you even step inside. She’s willing to listen to you and offer her two cents, and as the town repairwoman, also offers home repairs in exchange for a beer.
