Thank y'all for your interest in this thread and your applications! If there are any questions, please head on over to the temp ooc thread and let myself (Sunny) know. Here are the basic guidelines for filling out the sheets:

1. Right now there is a limit at 2 characters per writer. You do not HAVE to create 2 characters to apply, but if you feel so moved to write more than one, the limit is set to 2.
2. Realistic faceclaims only. No anime or hand-drawn art to be your characters face. If you struggle finding realistic faceclaims, reach out in the ooc! Those who have more experience in realistic rps have different resources to help find the perfect faceclaim for characters ((:
3. As more applications and sheets come in, try to keep in mind the "balance" of characters, per say. If you see there are a lot of femme presenting characters already made, maybe create a masc presenting character. If you see there are a lot of a specific role but none of a particular role, maybe create a character for that lacking role
4. I ENCOURAGE diversity !! Just like in real life, people are from all different walks of life, all different struggles, and its those differences in characters that help make for a fun and interesting rp!

And now, for the cs requirements!!

Bussers.



0 / 4



Bussers are the entry point in any restaurant. These are the employees that are responsible for keeping the place tidy. They sweep and mop, they clear dirty dishes from tables, they wash whatever dishes are thrown in their sink, and even have to put all the dirty dishes BACK where they go. A lot of bussers come into the restaurant business wanting to be something higher up, like a host or a cook, but every totem pole has to have a bottom.[/font]








Servers.



0 / 5



The servers of a restaurant tend to be the arms and legs of the business. Always running around, jotting down orders, relaying them to the kitchen, making sure drinks are filled at all times, doing everything within their power to keep customers happy and coming back. Everyone always assumes that servers have the easiest job, but truth be told theirs is one of the more difficult jobs with less pay. Yeah, they kind of have to fake a smile throughout their entire shift or else they don’t make a whole lot of tips… Which sucks when you work tip wage.








Hosts.



0 / 4



Hosts are truly the brain of the restaurant. Many people like to think Waiters are Hosts and vice versa, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Yes, most good hosts start as waiters, but they have a completely different job description; Waiters are responsible for managing tables, simply put. They learn their waiters and know who to seat which party at which table without overloading any waiter, they know how to handle reservations, including seating them, and they seem to have an answer for just about anything.








Cooks.



0 / 5



The true heart and soul, the kitchen. Filled with all kinds of chefs and bakers, the kitchen is the soul of any restaurant. Don’t be mistaken, the kitchen gets heated and chaotic and filled with drama from time to time, the kitchen staff are also the people that get to blast their music and cook for a living.[/I]








Bartenders.



0 / 3



The night life. Not starting their day until the late afternoon, the bartenders are responsible for the β€œSaloon”. Mixing up drinks, keeping tabs open for those who require, and give a swift kick in the ass to whatever creep is staring at another customer.








Shift Managers.



0 / 3



A little bit of everything. Shift Managers are essentially the parents of the crew, doing a lot of the unseen work due to having the most experience. Many newer employees like to claim that the shift managers don't do as much work as everyone else, but that is the opposite of true. Shift Managers make sure everything stays in shape, everyone stays on their job, all while working alongside other employees. It's a big task, and only the most responsible employees get this promotion

name:

nickname:
kenzie is the only option
age:
25
date of birth:
may 26th, 2000
place of birth:
tucson, arizona
gender:
female
sexuality:
bisexual
occupation:
server

"and i'm too perfect 'til i show you that i'm not, a thousand people i could be for you and you hate the fucking lot"


hair:
dark brown
eyes:
brown
skin:
pale
height:
5'8
faceclaim:
emmy rossum

description:
Kenzie’s has a slim build with very little muscle to speak of, whatever little there is she got from working. She has a square face, with big brown eyes and thick eyelashes. Her brows are dark brown and full with skinny tails, and her hair is a wild mane of wavy hair that she straightens if she feels like it. Usually, it is wavy and messy, up in some kind of ponytail or clip, especially when she’s working. She tries to make sure she looks presentable most of the time, but she is a bit of a mess and will wear an outfit two days in a row or yesterday’s makeup to work. Her style is best described as grungy adult emo.

tattoos:
none YET but as soon as she gets money...

persona & attributes
personality:

Kenzie is burnout and a free spirit, often flying by the seat of her pants. She never had a concrete plan laid out for her, and without that, she’s kind of trying to make what she has work, just getting through the day-by-day. She’s generally a bit of a mess, having a hard time getting the motivation to clean up her personal space.

Mostly, she spends her days at work, attempting to cheerfully greet customers and maintain a mask of happiness all day. The level of energy she has to maintain exhausts her, so she’s quite irritable after work. However, instead of going home to recharge, she finds herself looking at what her friends are doing, always trying to make plans after work because she doesn’t want to be alone. Kenzie can make friends wherever she goes and tries to keep a positive attitude towards other despite any personal feelings she may feel towards them. If she doesn’t like someone, she usually just ignores them. Avoidance is probably her worst trait, but is a habit she leans on heavily.

virtues:
humble, independent, spontaneous, friendly, sensitive

vices:
messy, forgetful, blunt, naive, noncommittal

strengths:
she’s really good at making connections with customers and talking to regulars, a good eye for detail, an uncanny ability to make friends with every animal she meets

weaknesses:
her clumsiness has caused her to drop a dish or two in her time, avoidance, reading people’s intentions, lacking some life skills.

fears:
abandonment, spiders, emetophobia.

likes:

art - she’s always had a connection to art, it’s one of her long lasting hobbies that her grandmother cultivated. she’d spend every saturday doing some painting project with her grandmother, usually a watercolor project though kenzie dabbled in oil paintings and really likes them, though she hasn’t done one in some time. it’s hard when you don’t have a studio or the money to buy oil paint. however, she keeps up her hobby mostly by drawing and trying out new or experimental mediums. she’s been really interested in tattoo art lately and wants to get some.

loud music - the loud music helps overwhelm her other senses when she has too much going on and it helps her chill out. listening to loud music helps her shut off the part of her brain that is internally screaming and helps let her anger out when she can’t contain it any more. her favorite genres are metal, riot girl, and punk.

cats - her grandpa was allergic to cats and her parents did not like them, but kenzie’s always had an extreme fondness for them. she’s always wanted to get a cat, but everyone around her was so prejudiced against them so she hasn’t owned one yet, just made friends with all of her friends’ cats. she’s planning on getting one once she feels like she’s saved enough to give it a really good life.

the city - she prefers city life over anywhere else. though it’s crowded and people can be rude, she likes that there’s always something to do and somewhere to go, even late into the night. if everything closes before 11, it’s not a town for her.

early mornings - she never thought she’d find herself in this position, but she enjoys getting up early in the morning and having a routine before she has to go to work. waking up early is something that she’s working on, but she finds her days going more smoothly if she doesn’t sleep up until an hour (or 15 minutes) before she needs to be at work.

dislikes:

being alone - she’s a pro at avoiding processing her feelings, instead opting to fill up every waking second by being with other people. she can be a bit overbearing, always trying to hang out or do something, but she would be perfectly content just chilling at her apartment with a friend if it meant that she didn’t have to be on her own. she knows she has to process things eventually, but does it have to be today?

horror movies - she is way too easily frightened by jumpscares, she can’t do it. she prefers a good action or comedy movie over anything scary. if she does watch a scary movie by accident, she will be thinking about it for days after.

bugs - while she loves animals, she can’t do bugs. their legs and crunchy little bodies just freak her out, she can’t even look at them. she will scream and have a mini breakdown and make you take care of the bug.

people yelling at her - kenzie is extremely sensitive, and this means that, despite any front that she puts up for herself, the minute that someone starts to yell at her, she will start crying uncontrollably. she gets really frustrated by being perceived as weak and will avoid any situation where someone could yell at her.

pickles - why would anyone want to eat something that smelled like that? she’s convinced that people who like pickles are lying and playing some kind of insane prank on the rest of humanity.

lore & backstory
new or returning employee?:
returning, this is her second year working there

"Wanna put my tender heart in a blender, watch it spin 'round to a beautiful oblivion, rendezvous, then I'm through with you"


reputation:
Most people know her to be extremely friendly and encouraging, especially when they are busy and everyone feels like they are drowning. However, she is also known for being clumsy -- things like dropping dishes, both empty and full of food, tripping over air, practically, and spilling things on customers. While she doesn't try to do these things, it doesn't erase any frustration people might feel towards her. Another added frustration might be that she doesn't clean things as thoroughly as she ought to, though she tries. Overall, she is a good coworker to have on shift with you.



history:

Makenzie was born in Tucson, Arizona to two teenagers who weren’t even dating when her mom had gotten pregnant. They believed that they were going to raise her, but as she was born and they saw how much daunting work it would be, they gave her to the first family members who offered to take care of her – her father’s parents. Her grandparents were kind and treated her well. They were the only real parents that Kenzie knew – though she’d see her parents a couple of times during the ages of 3-14, they didn’t take much interest in her or her life, so her grandparents were her parents for all intents and purposes. She had a lot of stability in her grandparents’ home and they were able to give her all of the attention and love she needed. This was good because in middle school she was heavily bullied because she was a bit on the alternative/emo side of things. This came to a head in eighth grade, when she begged her grandparents to let her move schools.

She’d get her wish, but not in the way she wanted. In the meantime, her parents’ on and off again relationship had leveled out and now they had a five year old son and got themselves into a slightly better position in life. They offered to take her off her grandparents hands and move her across the state to go to school. So she went, and while she made her first ride or die friend group at her new school, she hated her home life. It wasn’t even that there was anything wrong with her parents at first, they just doted over their new son and had unfair expectations for her. Sometimes she wondered if they took her in so she could be their maid. Plus as she neared the end of high school, her parents began fighting again and she wondered why she’d ever let herself leave her grandparents.

Soon, things would look up far better for her though, as she’d get a job at a coffee shop her senior year and save up enough to move out and begin attending community college. She would begin dating one of her high school friends, Derrick, during this time. They hit it off amazingly and had a very loving relationship, she fell for him deeply. After she graduated, he’d even propose to her. After a 6th month engagement, they’d have a wedding with all the bells and whistles. Except that before the bride could walk down the aisle, the groom got cold feet and ran off, completely crushing Kenzie. The reason he gave was that he didn’t see her trying to do anything with her life.

Heartbroken, angry and fueled by pettiness, 24 year old Kenzie left to start a new life in Texas. It was a big enough place that she felt she could easily disappear and pretend like her old life didn’t exist. Her first job after she moved was a busser at Buttered Biscuits before quickly becoming a server and she’s excited to return. It might not be the grand and glamorous idea that Derrick wanted out of her, but it’s a stable income and she doesn’t mind the work most days.

matteo de armas.
basics & visage
name:
matteo de armas
nickname:
"teo"
age:
23
d.o.b.:
september 21
p.o.b.:
atlanta, georgia
gender:
cisgender male | he/him
sexuality:
bisexual
role:
a busser at buttered biscuits

"i know what it feels like to be "down on my luck" and i refuse to go back there again."


writeup:
matteo is rather well-built despite his short stature. he has lost the swagger and arrogance he once possessed, now leaning to a quieter yet confident presence. he has dark brown hair that he often slicks back to ensure that he looks a little bit more proper. it is easy to see from his dark eyes that matteo is in a constant state of tiredness from his hectic schedule but he typically likes to put on a neutrally polite mask and throw in a smile every now and then to cover this all up.

height & weight:
5'4" & 140 lbs
ethnicity:
mexican
faceclaim:
christian navarro

distinguishing features:
four star tattoo on the side of his head behind his ear, he also has another tattoo on his shoulder and forearm which are all eye-catching for those who pass him by, especially when he makes no effort to hide them.

style:
matteo can typically be found in long-sleeved clothing, leather jackets or button ups depending on the occasion or what article of clothing he has left that was still clean because he didn't have time to go to the laundromat. perhaps in his past life, he would have been a lot pickier but beggars can't be choosers. literally.
persona & attributes
personality:
matteo is regarded as a reserved young man who often keeps to himself whenever possible. while he isn't opposed to being in social situations and having rapport with his co-workers, he would prefer not to be faced with customers on a professional level. while he is perfectly capable of diffusing a situation, he really would rather have someone else step in. many speculate that that's the reason he doesn't gun for any other jobs within buttered biscuitsβ€” not out of lack of skill but preference. mold, dirt and leftovers don't talk back and matteo likes it that way. ever since life had thrown him down the metaphorical staircase of wealth, matteo has become more goal-oriented and takes life one step at a time instead of rushing things. good things will come to those who work for it, probably, and he'll work as hard as he can to get back to where he was.

but a person doesn't ever truly change, or that's what's true about matteo. he just learned how to hide it all better. he still constantly struggles with unhealthy coping mechanisms and, as such, focuses a lot of his efforts on himself. matteo also resorts to snark and sharp words whenever his patience runs thin or whenever he feels himself backed into a cornerβ€” unleashing words he knows will attack another person deeply enough for them to leave him alone. unfortunately, regrets always follows after. he tends to bottle everything up, not wanting to bother anyone around him. he knows the importance of outside help, but he'd rather not be vulnerable around a lot of people. he trusts very few people but those he does care about, he fervently protects.

virtues:
patient, hardworking, witty (sarcastic), independent, protective

vices:
stubborn, snarky, selfish, self-destructive (a forever work in progress),

hobbies:

gym: matteo often goes to the college gym when he has time to spare, usually once a week, to keep up with his health. on particularly stressful days, he uses it as a coping mechanism.

mobile games: matteo can typically be found playing on his phone when he is taking a break from work and studying; has enough discipline to not spend on games too often.

ailments:

addiction: a lifelong problem that took root in his life when he was very young, he has since been marked as β€œrecovered” but still has inclinations to try them again. physically avoids the presence of alcohol, drugs and cigarettes as much as possible to ensure his continued sobriety.

ambitions:

finish college: matteo is keen on finishing his nursing course so that he can work properly. it is still a long time away, especially for his age, but he is nothing if not stubborn.

re-establish contact with his parents: he's been fixing his life so he can proudly face his parents again and say that he has actually changed this time around. they may not have been the best parents but he still wants them to be proud of him.

teach his sister how to be responsible: raphy had done it to him a long time ago and he'd rather not have jess go through the hardships he did to learn the lessons he did.

fears:

relapse: matteo doesn't want to return to what he was before. he knows the consequences of it and the impact it will have in his life. it would render everything he has done meaningless.

losing his sister: despite everything jess has done and how it affected matteo's life, having her back is like a breath of fresh air. he has lived so long without her and he missed her a lot even if he doesn't show itβ€” he wants her to be proud of him. to deserve to be called her brother despite everything.

likes:

Lollipops: matteo can mostly be found with a stick of lollipops in his mouth, something he had picked up on to distract himself from his smoking addiction.

mobile gaming: he genuinely does enjoy playing them and treats it as a good destresser. there doesn't appear to be a singular genre among the games he play.

buttered biscuits: while he would not admit it out loud, this is by far one of the best places to have a job at because of the howards' generosity and the company present.

dislikes:

alcohol, cigarettes, drugs: he will avoid these as much as physically possible. he knows how easy it would be to slip back down the slippery path he had walked before.

his past: matteo dislikes talking about his struggles, finding it to be a painful reminder of his weakness and his fear. as such, he will avoid talking about it as much as possible.

helplesness: he needs to have a solution for anything and everything. feeling like he can't do something no matter how much he tries leaves him restless.
lore & backstory
reputation:
matteo is a returning worker of buttered biscuits. many would remember him to be the quiet yet hardworking busser who had gotten the job a few days after he had quit another one, accepting a downgrade from a server to a busser thanks to the better benefits and pay it gave.

he is usually one of the busier people among the workforce due to him juggling both work and school at the same time, so he was also remembered for transforming a part of the break room into his personal study corner. and while he is social enough, matteo typically avoids both the bartending section and mostly refuses any invitation to drink out.

"i hold my fate in my own hands now."


history:
tw// addiction

it wouldn't be a stretch to say that matteo grew up with a silver spoonβ€” with his family being as rich as it is, matteo had everything he needed to become successful. supportive parents, money, connections, and money! much like his sister, they enrolled him in prestigious private schools to get the best education known in the better part of the states. but, unfortunately, he was also raised spoiled. both children were. as such, arrogance was an easy trait to develop. as he grew older, the more rotten his behavior became. he was a boy that could lavishly spendβ€” anything he could ever want would be his and he would make sure of it.

it wasn't a surprise to anyone that matteo fell in with the wrong crowd. constantly throwing himself at parties, all he ever knew were the burn of the alcohol and the familiar haze that followed him every morning. he had to be bailed a couple of times from jail due to his reckless behavior, usually just being caught during said parties or for possessing illegal substances. it had gotten to the point where matteo and his father had gotten into a full-blown argument ending with matteo running away from homeβ€” his eternal arrogance and pride causing him to create a rift between himself and his family. he could survive on his own! he knew he could!

all words he ate, eventually. without his family's fortune, matteo ended up hitting roadblock after roadblock. with no one there to support him while suffering from addiction, he eventually found himself homeless. too ashamed to face his family, he went on to become a beggarβ€” and using what little money he did get into feeding his destructive habits. it was a cruel and vicious cycle that he couldn't break free from alone and it was thanks to a friendβ€” a gentleman that he eventually found himself on solid ground.

raphy lived in a complex next to where matteo had taken perch and everyday they would pass each other by. it had been a faithful day when matteo was wandering through bars when he found raphy passed out near one of the dumpsters and decided to help the man get back to his complexβ€” a small, selfless thing to do really. matteo had been working on that. someone else took over helping the nearly unconscious man back to his apartment and he thought that was the end of that. the next day, raphy had searched for him and that was the start of their friendship. they eventually got to talking and, after a few months, raphy eventually broke the idea of going into rehab for matteo. he was willing to help him find a job, get himself some money, and get his life straight if matteo was willing.

and he was.

for the first time in a long time, matteo found himself grasping for a goal. the path had not been kind to him. recovery wasn't as easy as they advertised it to be and matteo honestly felt like it would have just been easier to return to his old life. however, raphy's stalwart presence had urged him to get better. and once he felt like he was in a more comfortable position, he started job hunting. once again, it was a struggle to get started. raphy had been kind enough to lend his apartment to matteo until he could rent out one of his own and the two had remained the best of friends since.

matteo rebuilt his life brick by brick, slowly but surely. he hadn't talked to his parents ever since he ran away and he promised to himself he only would once he felt like he could be proud of who he was and what he had achieved. it was not the same kind of pride that pushed him away like it had before, but rather a great amount of shame. shame for the kind of person he had been when he lived under them and shame for what he had gone through because of it. when raphy was reassigned to texas, matteo followed himβ€” of course he would and raphy couldn't help but feel honored about it.

eventually, matteo found himself bussing for buttered biscuits. their rates were far better than any other restaurant around and it had been a good deal. eventually, he could even afford the rent all on the paycheck of solely buttered biscuits, allowing him to drop one job and have more time to himself. raphy eventually had to move overseas due to a promotion but not before encouraging matteo to return to his studiesβ€” he had a good head on his shoulders after all. if he was half as hard-working in his studies as he was with fixing his life, matteo was assured even a little bit of a scholarship. and what he couldn't cover then, he could always apply for a student loan.

nowadays, matteo works during the day and studies during the night at a local community college as a nursing student.

jessica has a heart-shaped face framed by high cheekbones, giving her a baby-faced look that she fucking can't stand. dark brown hairβ€”never long, always chopped short and slightly layered to give off a shaggy appeal despite her clean look. has doe-like blue eyes, framed by softly arched brows. a dusting of freckles graces her cheeks and face, some appearing darker than most. her lips are now fullβ€”a feature she happily paid for with a spur-of-the-moment lip filler session, as she’d say, β€œwhy the fuck not?” her voice is fairly average in pitch, but there’s one unmistakable sign when she’s getting annoyed or serious: her tone drops, her pitch dipping just enough to signal her shift in mood. fortunately, this rarely happensβ€”jessica is the type to brush things off rather than take them too seriously, so it’s not often anyone catches her in a tone deeper than her usual lighthearted one.

tattoos:
jessica is definitely more of a piercing girlβ€”but that doesn’t mean she’s got a high pain tolerance. in fact, she openly cried during her first piercing, caught laughing through the tears in a bunch of cringe-worthy photos where she's flipping off the camera and saying "fuck off!", trying to play it cool. as for tattoos? none...yet. she’s always wanted one though, loving the aesthetic, but the thought of sitting through the needlework makes her back out every time.

style:
jessica came from a lavish lifestyle and fully embraced it, finding comfort in the aesthetic of luxury. shopping was her favorite way to cope with her minimal responsibilities, providing her with a steady stream of satisfaction. but despite her wealth, her style is a mix of preppy and casual, polished yet laid-back. her color palette revolved around elegance, with white as her go-to choice for its crisp, clean look. she is also drawn to shades of blue, happily leaning into denimβ€”jeans, especially, and skirts are essentials in her wardrobe.
persona & attributes
personality:
there's a lot about jessica that shapes her into someone where she can be unapologetically herself. her motto, "honesty is the best policy," drives her interactionsβ€”even if that honesty isn’t sugarcoated. known for her sharp tongue, jessica doesn’t filter her thoughts, often coming across as blunt and even a bit shallow with her words. but to her, truth is essential, and she isn’t interested in playing nice if it means being anything less than real. brutally honest, despite her intentions. jessica’s sass is her signature, a quality that, to some, is surprisingly refreshing. she’s quick-witted, unafraid to throw in a clever remark or side-eye, especially when she thinks someone needs a reality check of their own. it’s not just an attitude; it’s her way of handling life with humor and resilience, keeping things real without taking herself too seriously. her idealism attitude is woven into her view of the world, a hopeful outlook stemming from a life where opportunities always seemed within reach. she sees life as a canvas where anything is possible, constantly always wanting and longing, thinking she'll get what she wants in time. despite her quick wit and sharp tongue, it does make her an unforgettable character, with sarcasm as her preferred language. she’s clever with her words, always ready with a comeback or a playful remark that keeps conversations lively. though she’s a talker, sometimes to the point where people might think she’s an airhead or a bit ditzy, her chatter has a charm all its own. jessica’s unique way of seeing life adds a layer of humor and light-heartedness that only she can pull off, bringing laughter and a little mischief wherever she goes. it’s this blend of wit and warmth that makes her herself.

with every virtue, there is a vice and flawsβ€”something jessica wouldn't really entertain. her stubborn streak runs deep, and she’s as unyielding as they come when it comes to standing her ground. tell her what to do, and she’s more likely to do the oppositeβ€”or, even better, persuade you to come around to her way of thinking. her defiance may seem petty to some, but to jessica, it’s about self-respect and knowing her worth. why let others steer her course when she can carve out her own path? growing up with everything handed to her, jessica developed an unfortunate tendency to be possessive. she became used to getting what she wanted, and as a result, she quickly got attached to people, objects, and even certain experiences. letting go? that's another story. whether it's a relationship, a friendship, or even an old habit, jessica has a hard time severing ties once she’s invested. it’s a no-brainer that she has a bit of an envious streak, though it’s something she’s only recently had to deal with. the idea of being jealous? it’s something she never thought would happen to herβ€”she's always been the one to get what she wants, after all. but there it is, that festering feeling when she sees others getting something she craves or being praised for things she believes she deserves. it eats at her, and she can’t help but wonder how low she’s stooped to feel this way. after all, envy was never part of her usual makeup. being richβ€”well, at least was rich in jessica's caseβ€”naturally leads to a little bit of greed. to her, the idea of parting with her things feels unnecessary, even a little foolish. it’s a mentality that’s been ingrained in her for so long, and it’s something she’s slowly starting to realize has been holding her back. beneath the surface, jessica knows she’s got a lot of growing up to do when it comes to understanding generosity and what it means to truly value what she hasβ€”beyond material things. probably one of the hardest things for jessica to admit is how dependent she’s become. she’s always relied on othersβ€”her family, her sibling, anyone willing to be there for herβ€”when things got too overwhelming. she grew up in a life where everything was handed to her, everything was within reach, and losing it was a rude awakening she’s still dealing with. now, she’s dependent on constant stimulation, always needing that rush to feel validated, to remind herself that she’s something. she’s never truly been alone, never had to rely on just herself for comfort or direction. she’s so used to being surrounded by people, always in motion, that the silenceβ€”when she’s left to her own devicesβ€”feels suffocating.

virtues:
honest, sassy, idealistic, witty (sarcastic), ditzy.

vices:
stubborn, possessive (easily attached), envious, greedy, dependent.

strengths & weaknesses:

(+) communication skills, cleanliness, organized (on top of people misplacing things out of place).
(-) hoarder, temperamental (has a mouth), attendance (reluctant at first about the job), a chatterbox (she will talk your ear off).

fears:

being broke. right now, jessica is living through a nightmare she never imagined: cut off from her family’s fortune, her credit cards snipped in half before her very eyes. being broke was something she never thought was possibleβ€”an absurd, almost laughable idea to be honest. and yet, here she is, facing the impossible. to say she isn’t the happiest camper would be an understatement. jessica is frustrated, angry, and unmoored, grappling with a reality she never prepared for and finding it hard to hide her resentment over the situation. "what do you mean you're kicking me out?"
independence. jessica’s fear runs deeper than just losing her family’s support; she's terrified of independence. nearing thirtyβ€”at twenty-sixβ€”she’s embarrassed to admit she doesn’t know how to live on her own. beneath her frustration, the thought of starting her own life feels daunting, almost paralyzing. the truth is, money once dulled her worries and masked her depression, giving her a sense of security even if it made her a bit of a brat. but now? now she’s left feeling nervous, scared, and unprepared, overwhelmed by unfamiliar feelings of abandonment and vulnerability that she can’t quite name. "mom and dad said it's time to...'grow up,' whatever that fucking means."
losing her brother.
jessica seemed to find herself on a constant slippery slope, her loose tongue often dragging her older brother into trouble. it started with an accidental slip-up about his wild lifestyle, leading their parents to uncover photos of him at hardcore parties, tangled up with drugs and alcohol. then came the revelation that she had posted his bail, pulling him out of jail without telling anyone this one time. it hurt deeply when he left, abandoning her to face their parents alone. after he was gone, jessica fell into her own quiet depression, using shopping as her therapy instead of reaching out to someone who could help her sort through her misguided feelings. being back in matteo’s life now, she realizes just how empty her days felt without him around. it’s a frightening thought, the possibility of losing him again, knowing her own impulsive words could be the reason he slips away again. "i've got you back now at least, right?"
physical pain. jessica avoids sharp objects at all costsβ€”especially needles. with zero pain tolerance, she’s the first to admit she’s a total baby when it comes to discomfort. here is reason number 5001434 but it’s one of many factors why she turns to marijuana; it dulls her senses and keeps her mind off anything remotely scary. for jessica, it’s the perfect escape, letting her avoid anything that might actually hurt. she makes sure to move around the kitchen carefully, even knives make her a little uneasyβ€”which is ironic, knowing she cleans the dishes. "i want a tattoo. come hold my hand, clarke?"

ambitions:

(+/-) to prove her parents wrong. unfortunately, it's a motivator for jessica to deal with a shitty jobβ€”believing she is so much better than cleaning dishes and living in the back of the kitchen for the rest of her life. (character degression if she heads back home)
(+) to learn how to do her own taxes. jessica isn’t joking; it’s something she genuinely wants to handle confidently on her ownβ€”or at least learn how to call up one and eventually pay them.
(+) learn to be charitable. bottom of her list for a reason. eventually would like to learn to be more charitable, to better herself but also to learn to give back to her brother who has given her this second chance at life. thanks, little bro!

likes:

(+) that materialistic lifestyle. shopping, parties, drugsβ€”you name it, jessica is there, living it up. distractions are essential to her; back at home, she felt no pressure for responsibility, nothing to hold her back. the world was her oyster then: carefree, young, and always ready for a good time. just hit her up, and she’ll bring the fun.
(+) photography. it doesn’t take much for jessica to find a new interestβ€”she’s the type to have an endless list of hobbies, thanks to always having nothing but time. photography, however, has been the only one she's truly cared about. it’s a passion she discovered young and clung to, something that got her through college. she’s learned to appreciate the beauty of a photograph, how it captures memories and holds an image still, preserving moments she can always cherish. while jessica doesn’t usually consider herself the sentimental type, even she has her moments when a photo strikes her just right.
(+) bar hoping. jessica and alcohol don’t exactly mix wellβ€”but that’s never stopped her from having a good time! back home, she used to go bar-hopping with friends, mingling effortlessly as she tossed back drinks, savoring the lively energy of the night. don't be surprised if this is something she offers to do once she meets someone.
(+) reality tv. who doesn’t love watching reality shows that makes you feel a little better about your own life?

dislikes:

(-) disorganized people. jessica may be a lot of things, but messy isn’t one of them, thank god. she has little patience for people who are careless and leave things behind for others to clean up. nothing irks her more than unnecessary clutter or someone treating shared spaces like a personal dumping ground. it’s a simple rule in her eyes: just pick up after yourself. catch her on a bad day, and leaving your mess around might land you right on her "do not tolerate" list.
(-) being vulnerable. talking about her problems? please, that’s what partying is for! jessica would much rather drown out her worries in a club than spill them over coffee. the idea of being vulnerableβ€”or putting herself out there for others to judgeβ€”doesn’t sit right with her. it’s not like she’s looking for pity anyway. she's still simmering with resentment over the way her parents kicked her out, like she was just some extra baggage. having to come to terms with the fact that she’s not as untouchable as she once thought? now that’s a hard pill to swallow. reality has a brutal way of humbling her, but jessica’s not about to show it.
(-) sci-fi films. it’s just too much brainpower for jessica. all those flashing lights and drawn-out pacing bore her to death, and halfway through, she’ll find herself daydreaming, wishing she were watching literally anything else. not her cup of tea, she’d rather pass than endure the snooze-fest.
(-) slow conversations. jessica has no patience for wasted time; she thrives on fast-paced energy and constant stimulation. if a conversation feels like it’s going nowhere, don’t be surprised if she just walks awayβ€”she’s got better things to focus on and zero tolerance for anything that slows her down.

addiction(s):

(+) occasional marijuana. and other stuff. jessica had easy access to the kind of drug that let her turn off her brain and let loose, becoming as carefree and silly as she wanted. it was her way of quieting the nagging thoughts that usually lingered in the back of her mind, tucking them away where they couldn’t bother her. β€œmy head is so empty,” she’d say, laughing. β€œjess…your head is always empty,” her friend, piper would tease back.
(+/-) alcohol, typically wine. at the end of the day, win is also a girl's best friend. but for her, it’s more than just casual fun; her coping mechanisms aren’t always the healthiest. when she pops open that bottle, it’s a signal that there’s more going on than she’s willing to admit. drinking can be enjoyable for her, but it often hints at an attempt to mask what she’s really feeling.
lore & backstory
reputation:
jessica is the newly hired troublemaker at the restaurant, and she doesn’t try to hide it. loud, shallow, and unapologetically blunt, she’s like a whirlwind in the kitchen. the whole early-morning routine of scrubbing dishes and getting her nails dirty isn’t exactly her idea of fun, and it shows in every sigh and eye roll. to her, this is the most hardship she’s ever had to deal with, and it’s frustrating. but don’t you dare tell her that; she'd rather keep pretending she’s not completely out of her depth.

why is she here, though? well, she's sticking around for her brother, trying to help him outβ€”though it’s clear she’d rather be anywhere else. but deep down, the real reason is the paycheck. the money is too good to pass up. jessica’s got a lot of needs to take care of, and as much as she likes to whine, she knows she can't walk away until those bills are paid.

"DANGER. mouth operates faster than brain."


history:
tw: addictions (bad coping mechanisms)

when you come from a family like jessica de armas’s, life is a different kind of game. everything was handed to her on a silver platterβ€”money, friends, pretty things, a family to go home to. fear? it didn’t exist in her world. she never had to worry about the things most people did. her education? barely passing through, but who cared? it was enough to keep her afloat, and that was all she needed to continue living the carefree life she’d gotten so used to. for the majority of her life, she was on cloud nine, floating above the everyday struggles of others. it was her second chance at life. she’s been wantedβ€”seen, valuedβ€”and there’s no way in hell she’s going to let that slip through her fingers.

but like most good things in life, there’s always an endβ€”and for jessica, she hit rock bottom sooner than she thought.

it didn’t happen overnight, but slowly, piece by piece, her world started to fall apart. first, it was her brother leaving her behind. the one person who’d always been there, the only family she felt like she could rely on, suddenly wasn’t. she’d never had to face this kind of loneliness before. to cope with the loss, she threw herself into distractions. drinking, partying, hitting the clubsβ€”anything to drown out the emptiness she suddenly found herself overwhelmed with. it was fun at first, of course, a temporary escape from the cold reality that her perfect life wasn't all that ideal. the late nights, the bright lights, the fleeting attentionβ€”it all made her feel alive again. but in the quiet moments, when the music stopped and the crowds thinned out, jessica found herself face-to-face with the aftermath of it all. the distractions, the vices, they were just thatβ€”temporary fixes. and it made her bitter.

after that, it didn’t take much longer for her parents to kick jessica out either. they believed she was becoming too spoiled for her own good. their hope was that maybe living like everyone else would humble her, knock some sense into her, and get rid of that sour attitude she wore like a badge of honor. but jessica wasn’t having it. the tantrums came fast and furiousβ€”slamming doors, yelling matches, and the desperate, pleading cries to stay. her parents were done with the drama though, tired of her stubborn refusal to face reality. "you're twenty-six years old. it’s time to go," they told her, and with a sigh of relief on their end, they pushed her out of the house. this unfortunate situation got her to reach out to her brother though, a quick exchange of messages that read: β€œit’s been a while, and you probably don’t want to hear from me...but they kicked me out. jerks.” and then added quickly, "they let me keep the car though, yay." because, of course, jessica always had a way of making the best out of a bad situation. even if it was just a car.

eventually, jessica's brother told her about a restaurant that was hiring, one where matteo actually worked at: a place called buttered biscuits. her life was spiraling, her comfort zone shattered, and now, with her brother’s help, she was crashing in his apartment in texas. she had nothing more to lose at that point. so, with a mixture of reluctance and desperation, jessica applied for the job. the thought of waking up early to wash dishes, to scrub away the grime of greasy pans and sticky counters, made her cringeβ€”it was far from the life of luxury she was used to, but for now, it was all she had. in the end, money was money.

"sign me the fuck up."

DANIEL 'DANNY' CLARKE.
basics & visage
name:
daniel 'danny' clarke
d.o.b:
january 16th, twenty-eight
p.o.b:
lincoln, nebraska
gender:
he/him, cisgender
sexuality:
heterosexual
occupation:
former street driver, now in the kitchen
role:
a cook at buttered biscuits

"in my defense, i was left unsupervised."


height & weight:
5' 9" (175cms) & 75kg (165lbs)
ethnicity:
caucasian
traits/quirks:
raises both brows with a dead-pan expression in uncomfortable situations, clicks his tongue to buy time before responding (he's a slow thinkerβ€”really considers what he wants to say), picks at his fingernails when anxious.

distinguishing features:
daniel's overall rugged appearance comes from his strong jawline and haphazard sandy brown hair. back when he was a street-racer, he kept his hair trimmed and styledβ€”now slightly unruly in his exhaustion. also noted for his intense blue eyes and deep voice, husky on account of his habitual smoking in the past.

tattoos:
a catalogue of tattoo's cover his body, often random and insignificant patches of ink born from an impulse, and tradition to add to the canvas of his body after a win on the streets.

style:
before the accident, daniel almost never left home without donning his racing leather jacket over his typical denim jeans. from a refusal to entertain the memory of it, he has left his prize possession shoved deep beneath his bed and instead wears a selection of graphic tee's and sweaters paired with jeans, with a few button up shirts for certain occasions with a preference for neutral tones.
persona & attributes
personality:
before the accident, daniel might've been considered borderline narcissistic from his success in racingβ€”he might've even admitted so, himself. since then, daniel has become self-aware in his lack of appreciation for what he once had; to be able-bodied. ever stubborn, daniel often refused to heed the proper warnings of others, instead choosing to rely on his abilities and brave streakβ€”a lesson learned, as now daniel considers himself responsible, annoyingly so. coming to terms with the accident has left him with an "it is what it is" attitude, patient in his recovery but plagued with anxious tendencies. physiotherapy was easy to commit to, but therapy itself was another can of worms he found no progress in; too unwilling to forgive the person that left him partially disabledβ€”a refusal to blame his own actionsβ€”and too dishonest to share that sentiment with his therapist. meanwhile, his patient nature is mostly reserved for himself; easily irritated by others.

virtues:
impartial, (newly) humble, patient, brave reliable, responsible.

vices:
unforgiving, ruled by anxiety, dishonest, quick to irritate, stubborn.

strengths:
typically unfazed by stressors in the workplaceβ€”he'll take a smoke break if a situation escalates afterwards. determined, too stubborn not to be. never projects his problems onto others.

weaknesses:
not a habitual liar, but lying comes easily even when it's not necessary. cannot manage his anxiety. slowed down by his physical ailments at times.

fears:

driving. often slightly late to work as he refuses to drive himself or carpool with others, preferring to walk the distance even at his slower pace.

likes:

his job, the howard's were generous with their pay, greatly assisting daniel with affording his physiotherapy on top of his rent. he owed his grandparents a great deal in teaching him to be self-sufficient in cooking for himself instead of ordering take-out or relying on pre-prepared meals.
smoking, his physiotherapist has suggested he cut back the nasty habit for a clear head and strong mental to commit to his recovery, but daniel is known to occasionally slip up after a stressful day.
adrenaline, a thrill seeker at heart, the high of adrenaline propelled him into a career of street racing.
dogs, currently in the market of getting an emotional support dog for his recovery. he has always had a love of animals, but his lifestyle and street racing had left him with little to no time spend at home with a furry member of his family.
arcades, a silly hobby that has followed him from childhood. with more time to kill in his day to day, daniel has amassed an embarrassing amount of arcade tickets.

dislikes:

relying on others, sometimes he'll stubbornly go without or persist at risk of further injury to avoid asking others for help.
being idle, typically a hard worker, his body requires rest and relaxation much to his chagrin.
mood-shifters, daniel believes there's a time and place; he's no stranger to hardship and if the general mood of others is light, far be it from him to ruin the mood with uncomfortable topics or those that cannot read the room. "woe is me" attitudes do not sit well with him.
painkillers, he staunchly refused to accept prescription medication for his ailments when it came to pain management. he feared becoming reliant on the medication and more so believes the mild pain he experiences is deserved.
cold food/drinks, his teeth are sensitive.

physical ailment:

recurrent dislocation, his left shoulder tends to pop out of its damaged socket after vigorous workβ€”choosing to rely mostly on his right arm when cookingβ€”and leaves him to suffer the affects of muscle spasms until it's pushed back into place.
prolapsed spinal disc, managed with anti-inflammatory medication (nothing for pain) and bi-weekly physiotherapy. the affects are unavoidable with the disc pressing on his sciatic nerve and causing, most commonly, mild pain in his backβ€”or travelling down to his right leg and leaving it feeling weakened and numb.
lore & backstory
reputation:
a returning employee of a single year, daniel has transitioned into the roleβ€”not flawlessly, a bit of a work in progressβ€”but his love of cooking had been reignited, easily seen in his careful preparation of meals. he displayed a severe loyalty towards the howard family, grateful for the position (saving him from a life spent permanently horizontal), and paying his way through medical bills on top of rent.

daniel would be most known for his work ethic and ability to crack an easy joke to ease any lingering tension in the kitchenβ€”as well as becoming easily irritated if others' don't read the room.

"i want to go back to a time before it was too late."


history:
it was a four person team to raise daniel clarke; with two busy and hard-working parents, he was jointly raised by his attentive grandparents. one half instilled in him a work ethic he admired and respected the older he grewβ€”despite the limited time he was able to spend with his parentsβ€”and the other half allowed him to pursue his passions without abandon whilst allowing him to be self-sufficient. by thirteen, he was happily preparing dinner at least twice a week, enjoying the methodical and quiet approach meal preparation required. culinary school was a no-brainer once he'd graduated from high-school, but he was reluctant to ask anything more of his family than what they'd already provided him. self-sufficiency had to be useful at some point, right? the city of lincoln, nebraska was known for it's sanctioned street car racingβ€”call it curiosity or desperation, but daniel got into the hobby fresh off of graduation.

circuit racing was his next endeavour and along the way, daniel had lost his passion for cooking and fell hard for the adrenaline. my one true love, he often quipped in interviews for motor sport magazines once he'd made a name for himself following a series of hard-hitting wins, toppling down people that sat on a pedestal for years before his arrival on the scene. money stored in savings for school was instead redirected to funding his hobby turned career, for high-end vehicles and must have car parts.

in preparation for a race that would set him, his family, and future children up for lifeβ€”daniel grew obsessive. blinded to the risks out of his pure ambition to succeed and earn a title that would cement his place in history. he wanted to practice, practice, practice. sanctioned street racing began dwindling as law enforcement began cracking down on laws, inundated with calls of disturbances by the obnoxious sounds of revving motors and blown tires and it led daniel to the most irresponsible decision of his life. enrolling himself in illegal street racing, knowing the tight corners and lack of skill in his competitors would give him an edge for securing some bonus cash and a leg up in circuit racing.

the third night in a row, daniel's car rolled and collided with an electrical pole. the speed in which his car was driving had all but ripped his seat from the floor of his vehicle, smashing his shoulder into the roof, the steering wheel, the dashboard, the pole after he'd been injected from the window. all things considered, he'd been lucky to survive and not connect with the live wires that dangled above his faceβ€”though his spine suffered the worst of his condition.

the end of his career was immediate, not only on account of the injury but his recklessness to engage in illegal activitiesβ€”his reputation and charity kept him out of prison, but with hefty fines to pay; completing draining his savings. daniel transitioned into a different, less stable kind of lifestyle and was once again hit with a stroke of luck when he found an ad listing for buttered biscuits. at the encouragement of his grandparents, daniel applied.

    FORCED TO LOCK IN​











    appearance

    weight

    159lbs or 72kg






    hair c.

    Deep Brunette






    eye c.

    Dark Chocolate












    hair

    Meticulously twisted and braided to create a beautiful and relaxed pattern, essentially producing a beautiful array of thick, ebony threads. During special occasions, he would embellish his umber mane with silver bands.






    build

    Spindly limbs with only a few muscled parts. Instead of pulling weights and building a more muscled and toned figure, he opted for a more laid-back and rejuvenating workout, such as cardio. This results in a lean and healthy physique.






    skin

    Showered with liquid bronze, he is soaked in warm, earthy undertones.






    eyes

    Above his rich and lengthy set of eyelashes are a pair of bushy, dark eyebrows. With his jolly attitude, it would be a rare sight to see his brows scrunch into a rather serious expression. His deep chocolate eyes are one of his most expressive features; one could easily read him by simply looking into his eyes.






    style

    Colourful, spontaneous and chockful of references gathered from his databases of niche interests. Please don’t feel bad about not knowing; he’s about to go on an hour-long dialogue about how his current fit references that one anime about Buddha and Jesus being roommates.






    body mods.

    Three silver piercings can be found on his left ear. [X]

    At 5'6'' Pheobe's height is nothing to write home over however years of training, that she's not eager to give up, has left her very strong. A feature that her toned features sometimes disguise much to the chagrin of several patrons who have challenged her to arm wrestle.






    hair

    Naturally a dark brown, since she's moved back to the us Phoebe has taken to bleaching it to varying degrees. She keeps her hair shortish though lately it can be found combed over into a pixie cut.






    Body Mods

    Phoebe has a tattoo on her right upper back of a raven grasping a sword. She also has both lobes pierced and a helical piercing on her left ear.
    Alongside her chosen body mods she also sports several large and nasty scars, the most notable of which are; a burn over the left half of her back, a large knife scar along her stomach and a grouping of surgical scars on her lower back.






    Wardrobe

    Pheobe has a relaxed style prefering tank tops or short T-shirts combined with a jumper of some sort normally either a cardigan, more formal, or Flannel/hoodie, less formal. On her bottoms she typical wears jeans in either long or short forms.
    She prefers simple block colours but has very little preference as to the exact colour, only that it isn't garish.

okay so all the formatting and making everything pretty is beyond me so best ur gonna get is some spoiler tags to hide all the text walls
im think MC is either a bartender or cook, i think the personality fits either way. also i'm basically not set at all on their actual looks or even gender, ive more got a solid personality and backstory in mind. for ease of reading im gonna just gonna use he/him here on out but that isnt set in stone at all. i know it'll be a lil weird to read but just imagine whatever name you think is super cool as a placeholder B)
basics-
age: 27-29ish
looks: def tall and tattooed, strong troubled youth all grown up aesthetic vibes. idk bought hair color but itll be long for sure. pale eyed
experience: whether chef or bartender, hes been doing the job for years. bounced around establishments a lot, but in a good way. learning, getting better, broadening horizons etc.

He's a very compartmentalized person. Super gregarious (I imagined him being very good at talking to the bar patrons), has a personality for every customer type. Secretly getting by on raw dissociation. Just cramming every emotion and stressor into its own little box and burying it. The real reason he's been moving jobs so much isn't actually because of this ambitious, eager-to-learn narrative he's built up. He just needs to leave every place he's been employed at before the spinning plates come crashing down. Behind the scenes, a year just feels like precisely when coworkers start to really know and notice you, which whaddaya know, he'd just happen to get such a good offer in this place across the country, so sad, sorry, bye!! Starting to realize that he's getting exhausted faster and faster, and he can't be looking for new work every other month. Self medicating with alcohol and other easily available drugs, but happens to be fairly resistant to addiction. Which is worse, in a way, because he could stop without basically any of the usual negative consequences and just chooses not to. Striving to actually get to know people without mentally assigning their relationship a built in expiration date. Enjoys a myriad of hobbies that let him space out alone, like painting miniatures, whittling, and cooking from scratch (grinding your own flour is like, an easy three or four hours of dissociating right there). Accidentally overshares insane and inappropriate factoids because he doesn't talk to people enough to realize what he's saying is abnormal. Sincerely loves his career and willingly spends free time making up recipes/cocktails (as appropriate). One of the easiest ways to get him to actually engage with you is to volunteer to try his creations and then give actually useful feedback. Supremely sentimental and is constantly struggling to hide how often he gets his feelings hurt by mundane nonsense on the daily (he got actually sad when a favorite apron got replaced due to a bad stain and secretly fished it out of the "donate" pile to use at home). Despite looking like a poster boy for a baptist moms worst nightmare, is actually the opposite of a troubled youth. Great relationship with his parents and sibling, loved and accepted, never bullied, reasonably popular and talented in school...And yet, in absence of real problems, has imploded into creating them for himself from whole cloth.

Almost everything about him is a mystery to the people around him. He at most will vaguely remark about his schooling or extremely generic events - a family holiday, a concert, a birthday - but at this point being evasive is almost second nature. In truth, though:
He is part of the first generation of inherited wealth in his family. His mom and dad became well of through good ol fashioned hard work, and are an engineer and doctor respectively. As such, he faces a lot of (in large part imagined) pressure to make use of this stepping stone. He is a little TOO aware of how generational wealth is built, and feels responsible for taking this seed and making something of it. In his anxiety, he instead seems to have meandered to precisely nowhere. Talented though he may be, his inability to feel comfortable actively precludes the kind of career climbing most organizations expect. You work somewhere for 30 years, ascend that holy corporate ladder, and acquire more money and power along the way. He, instead, has been actively leaving right when he should have been taking opportunities to commit and put his foot on that first rung. So far he has work at 9 different establishments in as many years, walking away with stellar referrals and recommendations each time. Though his schooling focused on a completely different subject (mortuary sciences, in fact) he dropped out before completing his degree to pursue cooking/bartending. He has lost touch with all but two friends over the years, acquiring a new circle of associates held at arms length with every new job. These two have made a point of visiting and staying in touch, and are probably the one string keeping him tied down to reality. His ability to swap between professional, outgoing, heart-on-his-sleeve behavior and his bleary, "off" persona makes a lot of people distrust him. That and he readily and comfortably lies to clientele, about what he perceives to be perfectly harmless things. Funny stories, pretending to know someone, making up a more interesting backstory...its all just part of the job. Entertain the customer, get more tips. He doesn't quite get why people so often fail to distinguish between work lying and REAL lying.


He's come to work at buttered biscuits to try and break a cycle of stagnation. Feeling his age, feeling that oppressive sense of running in place, it's all getting to be too much. Facing a completely imagined sense of pressure from his family, he is determined to actually get to know people, network, and start trying to make something of himself. Maybe open his own restaurant/bar, in a few years. Can't do that if you feel compelled to move states every 12-18 months. He's gotten a therapist and is trying to apply, however clumsily, whatever lessons his shrink feels the need to impart. It's going...well, it's going, anyway. Still mastering "this is an outside thought, this is an inside thought", but trying. Finds the buttered biscuit significantly less cut throat and competitive than his last work environment, and picked this place specifically because he felt it would be easier to focus on the REAL challenge of the job - making friends with one (1) coworker.

lore & backstory
"A maneater, make you work hard. Make you spend hard, make you want all of her love."


history:
Azlynn grew up in Dallas, Texas, where she was raised by a single mother, one that spent way too much time in her nursing job to be able to provide a decent life to her daughter as her father had been nowhere to be found after her parents separated when she was five years old.

From a young age Azlynn was the type of person who knew what she wanted and who she was, she knew she was meant for greatness and success and not meant to be living in a small apartment or spending more hours than someone could think of at work like her mother did, and don't get her wrong she didn't feel shame of her mother or everything she had to do to put a roof under Azlynn's head or a plate of food every meal, she just didn't want to live paycheck to paycheck not knowing if you would make it ends meet.

Probably that was the reason growing up she always excelled in her studies, she knew she didn't have the fancy tutors to back up her skills it was just her and her desire to be someone people were proud of and didn't see as the girl with the broken family.

Throughout high school, Azlynn juggled her academics with part-time jobs and extracurricular activities making sure to build up that resume and save up for college applications, she had one job and that was becoming a lawyer and no one would stop her, she had a plan to achieve it the only thing she didn't have was the funds, even with a scholarship she was still struggling to pay her tuition and the thought of attending law school after she graduated was feeling more distant every day.

To help fund her education, Azlynn took a job at "Buttered Biscuits,” where she started as a server which she knew she was awful at, not because she was bad at remembering tables and orders but because customer service wasn't her thing but one thing that Azlynn was good at it was faking it until you make it. So while she hated it that faked smile and attentive persona led her to eventually become a hostess at her job.

Until this day Azlynn isn't the one to love her job, sometimes she just wants to scream at her peers and the customers, but law school won't get paid alone if she gets fired.

Full name: Gabriel Hayashi
Nicknames: any variation of his name is fine he’s not one to be picky
Age: 24
Date of Birth: May 2, 2000
Place of Birth: rural central Texas
Gender Identity: Male
Sexual/Romantic Orientation: Bisexual
Occupation: Server

Visage:
When dressed for work, he could be classified as ordinary. A passerby would likely never give him a second glance, not unless he was dressed for the band, and even then he's not too particularly unique. While he does like a punk rock aesthetic, Gabriel won't splurge on any over the top hairstyles or clothing. He has decently broad shoulders and strong forearms and hands thanks to being a musician, his build is overall solid. He likes to keep his bangs longer, but at work he looks professional and parts it for a more welcoming appearance.
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 160 lbs
Most noticeable physical feature: Surprisingly, not a single tattoo, but many piercings in his ears, one for every year he’s been on his own (removes majority of them for work). He also is still in the process of fixing his teeth and wears a transparent retainer (he’s very glad the braces from last year are done).
Faceclaim: Mackenyu Arata

Psyche:
At first meeting, Gabriel is often polite and quiet, but at times can be taken for indifferent or uncaring. He does not care for meet ups with strangers, preferring to stay home or if he is dragged along, will keep to the smokers outside usually. He still feels like an outsider when interacting with acquaintances his own age, and generally is more relaxed if he's with company that are either much older or younger than himself. Once he is comfortable with someone though, he likes to goof off with them, so he tends to gravitate to people more gregarious than himself.

Gabriel is a very private person, and generally doesn't need to have a ton of interaction with others to feel fulfilled. He would be quite happy to have just a romantic partner to spend 99.9% of his time with, and wouldn't need time apart to become fonder like some people seem to. In most aspects of his life, he lives simply, but he does crave the music scene and prioritizes his playing the drums over any other commitment in his life. His small living space is extremely organized, and he's the type to be prepared with a proper toolbox for at home repairs, and canned food just in case the power goes out.

3+ Virtues
Great at keeping his temper even with the most demanding of customers, but he also won't let them walk all over him. When it comes to strangers, he has no problem setting boundaries clearly and this makes him a very good employee in the service industry. Often in past occupations, he'd be called instead of the manager to help settle issues.

Has a fair work ethic, and will always pull above his own weight in any type of team. The closer he gets to those he works with, the more work he'll take on for them, accumulating it quietly without complaint if he is close to those people.

He has a good sense of judging when someone is in emotional distress, and will take actions to subtly act on it.
3+ Vices
He always falls for the 'wrong' type (i.e. his long standing crush on Seraphina). Even if Gabriel himself isn't very adventurous, he always seeks out what most would consider the worst sort of person for romantic involvement. And unlike his ability to set boundaries with strangers, he can't seem to do the same with people he's infatuated with at all.

Terrible at promoting himself. He's a great drummer and likes to compose music at home, but he'll never properly promote himself on social media or look for jobs that will use his talents as much as he ought to.

Will stay up all night working on music instead of sleeping. If the composing goes well, he will still be in a great mood, but if it goes poorly, this is the one time you’ll ever see him bordering into cranky territory.

Strengths: His poker face is top notch, and so is his actual understanding of poker. He is fantastic at not
spending money on himself, though that might also be a downside.

Fears: Overly religious people or sentiments. Thinking too deeply about his purpose in life. Big dogs, yeah even Golden Retrievers kinda make him nervous.

Likes: Music, this is the top priority in his life. His favorite genres are soul, folk, rock, and punk rock. He likes writing poetry as well, but this he does not share.

Dislikes: Church. Dealing with friends who have overbearing parents. Coworkers who make the job harder for others.

Backstory:
Gabriel was born in rural central Texas, and has never left the state. Even if he's not too far from his family, he doesn't keep in touch with them. He has four younger sisters and a younger brother. His father was born in Japan, his mother born in California. Both are deeply religious and purposefully moved to Texas to raise their children in what outsiders consider a religious cult. There, he grew up tending crops, managing goat herds, repairing buildings, and acting as a good son should. For not being a β€˜Texas cowboy’ he still grew up with a full ranch life, he can even kill a chicken without flinching if necessary.

His upbringing with the the cult was difficult, and he doesn't discuss it much with anyone. He was conditioned as a child that he should never express himself, because doing so always got him in trouble. The simple question of 'why' that so many kids ask wasn't allowed. This ultimately is something Gabriel can't shake to this day. It wasn't all horrible though, and he does have fond memories of playing with the other kids, spending time with his siblings, even his mother who still tries to contact him in an effort to bring him back. One thing that he continues to nurture from his childhood was being taught to play the piano, as that opened up the singular area of expression for him he could enjoy. To this day still finds hymns to be beautiful and soothing, even if they also leave him confused.

Right at 18, he left his family's cult and never turned back. He sought help from the state and nonprofit organizations and was able to find a way on his own, working from the bottom as a dishwasher in the service industry. Waiting tables was how he ended up making enough to finally get by on, slowly gaining the skills needed to work for higher end establishments where the tip money was great. By 20 years old he was able to buy his own drum set, and from there has been involved in the music scene. He is also currently attending junior college classes in an effort to achieve an undergraduate degree for music theory, having to learn everything by the book that he didn't have a chance to as a child.

Gabriel is a returning employee to Buttered Biscuits, and his reputation is so solid that some of his coworkers think he's a bizarre anomaly. Don’t feel like going to work? Just text Gabe and he’s got it covered, only ever turning down the shift if he’s got a concert. One thing that makes him funny to some coworkers is that he'll have moments of brutal honesty so there may even be a joke among his coworkers 'go ask Gabe what he thinks' whenever there's tea being poured around the business.
