YELLO im marissa (she/her) and im genuinely screaming bc this group is too cute and i’m playing one of my most fav muses that i haven’t played in so long asjkkdj

y’all have such nice long bios and im actually garbage but lets get to know some things about nova!!

she and her younger bro and sis were raised by their dad bc mom left right after her baby bro was born

 she was never close w/ dad they disagreed on everything and he was always so caught up in work (they still grew up v poor) and trying to get over his ex wife that he shut his kids out (mostly nova bc she was constantly rebelling against all his wishes)

she’s back in town bc dad died suddenly an she knows even tho he was kinda shitty, her siblings need her around

she’s been off the last ten years modeling and hasn’t been back since running away at 17

she didn’t even graduate hs but got her ged after she fled home for nyc 

she didn’t really have a plan when coming back so for right now she’s living on her savings and a trust fund from dad (whoa surprise he was loaded and saved it all for the kids)

for now thats most the imp stuff but i have a stats page here and plots here and will soon have a real bio! so if you wanna, hmu and let’s plot some stuff and things <3

#✧ ooc ; #death tw #like this and i'll im u for plots!!! #as.intro

[tenalv-blog]

“ i said that !! the problem is i said it with mexican accent, again !  ” 

I THOUGHT I WOULD BE BRIEF BUT I GOT TOO INTO THIS AND WENT OVERBOARD !! casually ignoring that..... i’m k8 and this is basically a far too long rundown of antisocial’s babysitter tenoch alverado ! honestly if you’re lazy like i am just like this post for plots and i’ll message u with an abridged version of teno’s entire life story, lmao. anyway............

[ diego luna, cis male ] - did you know tenoch alverado is back in town ? i’ve heard that the thirty four year old has been gone for seven years and used to be known as the taciturn. now people call them the apotropaic but they’re still old-fashioned and giving as usual. right now they’re busy as a touring security guard and technician for antisocial but i hope we have time to catch up !

in the BEGINNING...

firstly if u recognise his name then yes i did name him after diego’s character in y tu mama tambien bc i’m VERY subtle

tenoch is a big pile of mussed hair and big smiles born and raised mexico with his ma !

he didn’t really know his dad; his parents divorced before he was born so it was mostly just him and his mom in mexico, whilst his dad lived somewhere across the border in america.

he never met him, nor did he visit, but honestly he wouldn’t blame him - he and his mom were attached at the hip, and sometimes even he was scared to walk down the street alone in his own hometown.

but no hard feelings ! he wasn’t really bothered by it, and it wasn’t like his dad was some horrible criminal that his mom had to break up with, and he’d send monthly childcare checks to help ( which his ma taught him to be grateful for, despite not really knowing the guy ), so it really wasn’t too bad !

and to make up for it, he and his mom were just closer than ever !! they were all each other had, so tenoch was always helping her around the house and even working after school to make some extra money, how pure

there was some kind of dissonance though. tenoch didn’t know what it was but he could feel it. like their humble, half broken but functional home felt a little too empty, how he never seemed to hold a friend, the pit in his stomach when police just strolled around his hometown, he grew up with a certain unsettlement - broken house broken home, he was always waiting for something worse to happen.

and he figured out from a young age that the best way to deal with that was to tread lightly - having acquaintances, not friends, playing football but never joining the team - he became the polite little boy next door that everyone liked, but didn’t seem to actually know that much about.

maybe when he’s older and he’s looking back on his childhood he’d realise it was stupid of him not to put himself out there, but he never got a chance to do that, because the dissonance ?? it’s here.

( TW; DEATH ) he’s fifteen when the police show up on his door to tell him that his mom’s been killed. he honestly can’t remember how - his brain has blocked the memory out, and he has absolutely no interest in trying to read between the lines of a death certificate, shoved somewhere deep below custody papers and junk mail - but he’s displaced.

and then he meets his father for the first time.

he remembers very clearly what it was like sleeping with child protective services, but even more so the first time he meets his father at the airport, his hand motioning him towards the gate, ready to take him to his so called home. 

putting a hispanic kid in the middle of rural white america in a suburban house, mind you with a living room the size of his entire home in mexico, never worked out well. his polite resolve was breaking, but nothing made him want to keep the façade up than the sterile politeness of his own father ( maybe that’s where he got it from ).

so he kinda started switching ?? it was hard when he barely spoke english, but he chose his moods inside and outside the house, brooding and shy at his high school and keeping up with polite appearances at the dinner table.

the only way he could let himself breathe and fuck about, expelling his pent up frustration and grief through a multitude of spanish curses, was to drive out of his town somewhere remote at night and sleep in his secondhand van out by a lake or the woods.

it’s just a wash and dry cycle of the above with some underaged drinking and smoking inbetween that pulls him through high school. he graduates with an average gpa, but he knows immediately that he doesn’t want to go to college - his english keeps him afloat in social situations but he wouldn’t let himself be put through the wringer again, especially when he knew he could just get a job immediately. that had always been the plan before his dad swooped in with the money, so why change ?

maybe his dad had a change of heart ever since he got remarried, but he was actually okay with it - their problem didn’t seem to be a hatred or regret, but rather an awkward unknowing of what to say, what to do. so he let tenoch take the van anywhere, so long as he got a job and called every once in a while.

and he actually does alright ! with all his time alone with the van and being the stereotypical shy kid as part of the theater techies crew, he bounces around various handyman, janitorial, repairman jobs, because to be quite honest - outside of every boy’s dream to be a footballer, tenoch didn’t have anything after that. but he makes his own fun - his mom’s optimism had always stayed in his psyche; it’d just been buried throughout his stay with his dad, and soon the old, friendly tenoch comes back !!

and then came ANTISOCIAL...

tenoch is on one of his regular cathartic drives when he stumbles upon a group of rapscallions on the side of the road with their thumbs out, and honestly ?? with a big van like his, he absolutely had to stop 

he drives them back to the city, and through a lot of explanation, he learns that they’re musicians in a band and they’re playing a proper concert where he lived !!

tenoch didn’t know muchabout music ( re: absolutely anything ) , but he went to the show anyway to make the guys feel welcome, standing at the back of the crowd with a beer in his hand, nodding his head to the music, clapping them on the back afterwards, buying them drinks - just being a big ol’ cheese ball

they end up staying at his apartment, and as he runs to buy extra pillows and blankets, he comes back to find that they want him to tour with them ?? 

and he, for once in his life, says fuck it !! it’s a paying job, he gets to travel, feel young, and maybe find a reason to embrace america, why the fuck not !?

his job jumps around from place to place - he starts off as a driver, until the band got big enough to have an actual tour bus that tenoch had absolutely no idea how to drive, but to keep him on tour river started insisting he was a bodyguard ?? has river seen his scrawny ass body ??

tenoch being stubborn as hell wasn’t going to get paid for a fake job, so he started helping with stage setup and putting those rusty high school theater crew skills to use and started training as a lighting technician, so take that, river

and thus dubbed him the proud mom and ‘ adult ’ voice of reason in the band, watching them grow and helping them with ( or get out of, most of the time ) various unthinkable shenanigans, and it is then that he, for once since he ever crossed the border, felt at home.

back at ASTON...

whenever tour drops off and the band’s recording, tenoch becomes a hobo basically, and goes back to janitorial work just to keep his hands busy. it sounds shit, but he actually likes fixing things and meeting clueless elderly who don’t know how to work their television?? he’s that kinda dreamy maintenance guy. except for those racist grandmas - they can go fuck right off

so right now, he’s just kinda bouncing around and working as a door to door repairman whenever river doesn’t drag him out of his apartment to go accompany him to concerts or something  “ i’m not your fuckin’ bodyguard, river ! ”

he’s also absolutely ecstatic about being a beach town. he loves the beach guys.... he’d totally be a surfer dude if he could surf, so he’s got a permanent tan and burnt nose

so really he’s just chillin’ ! just being a mom to four lil rebels in a band and happily fixing your leaky faucet, so he’s on the up and up !

and that’s finally it !! in terms of potential connections i don’t have anything particular in mind apart from the occasional client ( sounds scandalous, in reality he’s just unclogging your toilet ) or drunken hookup, so if you want just like this post and i’ll message you to talk plots or any other ideas you may have, but that’s it !!

( TW: mentions of death. )

BIOGRAPHY.

isabella was born in aston & raised by two v loving parents, her father was a surgeon, her mother a nurse. ( which is where those two met.. )

she is actually the youngest of the two children their parents had, her brother being seven years older than her.

was raised to be "practically perfect" in her parents eyes, made straight A's in school, never missed a day, never went and hung out with the wrong crowd, nothing. and unlike most, she really didn't mind that life.

but her brother, that was a different story, he went through a rebel phase and basically shut her and her parents out for a while.

life was great for all of them, their parents talking about taking the whole family on vacation for bella's 8th birthday because they knew they all needed a little break.

that vacation never came, though. bella was nine when she lost her parents to a freak car accident.

isabella was pulled out of school early that day by her neighbor as they had no other family in aston. but she didn't know why, not until her brother showed up to their neighbor's house in shambles.

apparently her brother had been caught trying to steal something out of a drug store and so they called her parents to come and get him and on their way to get him the rain caused a slick patch in the asphalt and that was that, their lives taken in an instant.

of course, since both of the mercer siblings were underage, they were put into the foster care system.

for a while, both of them didn't get anyone around to possibly adopt them, but shortly after she turned 9, her world flipped upside down once again.

her brother was adopted by a family who lived three states out who just so happened to be in the area and happened upon her brother, meaning she knew she'd probably never see him, or if she did, it would be very few and far between.

she didn't know how to handle this, her brother had been the only thing she'd known for almost three years and he was yanked away from her almost as quickly as her parents were.

after a few months of having basically no one, keeping to herself and only talking whenever she was spoken to, she crossed paths with one freddie wright, someone who would end up changing her life forever.

those two were like two peas in a pod and he made her forget the fact she'd basically lost her entire family.. he gave her hope that maybe she wasn't going to be alone for the rest of her life and she cherished him so damn much.

even though life wasn't the most perfect thing in the world for her, she never went into a "rebel" phase, always kept up with her schooling and found out that coding and anything that had to do with computers caused her so much peacefulness that she knew that's what she wanted to pursue a career in.

and to her surprise, she ended up getting a full scholarship to NYU, which happened to be the same college her best friend got into.

she was scared at first, was so unsure about packing her things and moving to a new state entirely, but she knew that she'd be able to make some sort of future for herself in new york, so she went for it.

and just like most, she ended up falling in love with the big city, finding places she loved to go whenever she wanted to, loved having people around her all the time.. it was something she'd never really felt before.

not to mention she was doing so damn well in college that even her professor told her he'd be surprised if she didn't end up working for a big corporation one day, and all of those good feelings put together was indescribable.

hell, she even ended up finding someone who she found herself head over heels for, and he felt that way about her too... flash forward to about a year later and she had a pretty little diamond ring sitting on her ring finger from him.

planning the wedding and keeping up with her schooling was difficult, and sometimes she just wanted to stop with school just until the big day was over, but she knew better. her parents taught her that an education was one of the greatest things a girl could have.

but she managed to get through it, had the wedding set for a beautiful day in the fall, the dress and everything else picked out and she was the happiest camper in the world.. she had someone she loved who she was going to marry and her best friend right by her side.

but things didn't turn out like she'd planned, on the day of the wedding, her husband to be left her at the altar and needless to say, this left her a broken mess.

without hesitation she took off to one of her favorite spots, still in her dress and a very expensive bottle of champagne to wash away the sadness.

but to her surprise, someone else had gone there too, the person who'd always been able to give her hope in life: freddie.

they sat in the park for a while and after everything, she found herself almost glad the wedding hadn't happened because she'd been missing a part of her ever since she'd met her ex-fiance.

but then life hit her in the face once again and altered everything.

she was at work when she heard the news of freddie's accident, her heart practically shattering from that alone. he was okay, but they had to tell her that more than a thousand times for her to believe it.

and even though there were bits and pieces of the years they'd been friends missing from his memories, she never once gave up on him because he never once gave up on her.

she fought and fought to make life better, for the both of them, but soon realized that maybe new york wasn't all it was cut out to be after all. 

so she moved back to aston, thirteen years after she'd left.. hoping that maybe, just maybe life would start changing for her, that things would finally be okay and that she, along with everyone else could be happy.

PERSONALITY.

bella is literally a smol bean ??

like she's so kind to everyone even if they aren't the most friendly to her because ?? what if they were just ?? having a bad day ??

is v into the aesthetics of things ?? 

is also v minimalistic due to her growing up in the foster care system.

loves the color yellow ?? p sure she painted a few walls in her house yellow because she just... loves it that much.

however, if she's pissed off or trying to protect people she loves.... stay away from her... she might be smol, but girls got some fire in her.

is 110% into friendly cuddling ?? like ?? will curl up w anyone ?? just bc ?? she can ??

will also probably make everyone in aston cookies or a cake on their bday because she just wants people to be happy & if she can give ppl a reason to smile, she's happy too ??

has a reading corner in her house and sits there a lot bc it makes her feel v cosy and safe.

kinda... forgets to take care of herself tho bc... she's more worried about other people and their feelings so she just pushes hers back & locks them away.

actual floWER chiLD ??

intelligent af and loves anything that has to do w tech or computers, like if u put her infront of a screen.. she's so in her element i s2g.

absolutely loves her boring ass 9-5 desk job because she feels like what she does helps people a lot.

cries over cute animal videos and would love to own a puppy or kitten ( or both )

is scared af of thunderstorms ?? she curls up in a ball on her couch whenever one hits she haTES them.

will do anything and everything in her power to make people feel better because she hates when other people are sad.

also... if people get mad at her and raise their voice at her... she'll probs break down n cry or get v anxious or stressed bc she doesn't want ppl to be upset with her.

has a flower garden that she loves to death n cries if anything happens to her children.

is the type to volunteer at local food banks n things like that to try and give back to the community.

extremely weary when it comes to letting people in after the whole ex-fiance thing happened but fully believes that everyone still deserves a second chance.

someone could be threatening her life and she'd probably still be like "there's some good in them" bc.. that's how she is.

cannot.... handle stress v well. so if she gets stressed out about something she doesn't get a lot of sleep and just ?? internally freaks until things calm down.

she's HELLA a summer baby and will practically beg everyone to go to the beach w her whenever the weather permits because she loves the water.

doesn't drink all the time & is kinda a lightweight so when she does drink.. it doesn't take a ton to get her drunk.

speaking of, she's p clingy & touchy feely when she's drunk n will probs tell u she loves u a million times just so u know that.

probably a sub.... yeah she a sub...

can b pretty easily manipulated or pursueded into doing things bc !! you have to make ppl happy !! always !!

literally just a smol beb who's trying her best to make sure she leave the world a little bit better than she found it??

idk.... she's just... smol

hey hey h e y everyone! i’m jo && i’m super thrilled to be playing DEREK — one of my newest muses !! ( esp. w/ the gabriel macht fc, he is gorgeous ) feel free to message me or like this message if you want to plot, or if you’re looking for a closed starter; we can definitely work something out !! more about derek under the cut:

[ GABRIEL MACHT, CIS MALE ] - DID YOU KNOW DEREK ARTHUR HAYES IS BACK IN TOWN ? I’VE HEARD THAT THE 38 YEAR OLD HAS BEEN GONE FOR 20 YEARS AND USED TO BE KNOWN AS THE PRODIGY. NOW PEOPLE CALL THEM THE POLYMATH BUT THEY’RE STILL EMOTIONALLY DISTANT, AND SMART-MOUTHED AS USUAL. RIGHT NOW THEY’RE BUSY AS A CORPORATE LAWYER BUT I HOPE WE HAVE TIME TO CATCH UP !

[ A FEW INSIGHTS INTO DEREK’S PAST & PERSONALITY ]

derek came back to aston because his father was ill, and took a sabbatical from his job in NYC to spend more time with his family. the man had spent the last 10-12 years climbing the corporate solicitor ladder madly; leaving little time for personal affairs — so he decided to take a break and enjoy life a bit, and what better way to do it than back home in aston ??

the man is ambitious, definitely — and has the wits to match his addiction to winning. he left aston after high school, where he went to college in boston, ma (harvard undergrad) before pursuing law at stanford. after his education, he took a job at one of new york’s biggest law firms and never looked back. he is now senior partner at said firm. 

personality-wise, derek is often a smart-mouth and isn’t afraid to correct others — sometimes at the expense of their feelings. much to his chagrin, this trait, along with his extremely packed schedule, has left him without much of a personal/romantic life: his friends are mostly from work, and aside from the occasional one-night stand, derek is pretty lonely.

he’s laura’s older brother and is super protective of her. they’re pretty tight and he tells her almost everything there is to know !!

yooo marissa here w a second character 

lowkey nervously sweating bc i haven’t done more than one char in a long ass time but!!! we gon try it today 

SO lemme tell u about hudson here ( drugs, death & war tw )

he is def the type of heroic idiot who would do just ab t anything for anyone

he was previously in the army for 6 years as a combat medic so he has seen some p awful things and now suffers from ptsd bc of his 2 deployments. no one knows this, he tries his best to keep it at bay and continue on as normal, but it’s easier said than done. he has had to tend to a ton of others in his unit in battle, saving some but also losing others, including one of his closest friends he had in the army. 

but now he still loves helping others so when he got out he decided to become a paramedic

hudson was lit his label, the boy next door in high school. good grades, on the football team, had been scouted for several schools and had been granted a full ride scholarship for football at a nearby university.

h had a p normal childhood, parents who loved each other, and two sisters, one older and one younger. the family was v v close knit, but when hudson was 20 his younger sister was killed in a car accident. this p much messed up his entire family’s lives and def put a strain on their relationship, knowing that a significant piece of them was gone. 

after his sister died, hudson kinda lost his focus an interest and started partying more in school and began dabbling in drugs, but once he lost his scholarship and basically couldnt afford school anymore, he p much pulled himself out of it and shaped up to join the army instead

hud is a new muse so i don’t have everything quite figured out yet but!!! if anyone wants to plot hmu pls while i throw together a plots page :-)
