outside Aurora Bay's library
Eden was walking back to Aurora Bay Towers after having spent an ungodly amount of hours in the library, working on a story for the school's paper. It was when she was half way there that she realized someone was going the exact same route she was. And finding it odd but knowing it was probably nothing, she looked over her shoulder and called to them, "If you're going to murder me, could you go ahead and do it before my next exam?"

BIOGRAPHY:
( tw: depictions of undiagnosed mental illness, child neglect, illness )
There’s not much known about where exactly Tabitha King came from. Her birth certificate was from a local Milwaukee hospital, but whether or not they stayed there long enough to consider that home, Tabby didn't count on it. The only core memories she has comes to mind is of a beautiful blonde looking at her in the rearview mirror of a beat up car. Singing Fleetwood Mac with her dangling earrings and the smell of roses. A warm smile and eyes that sparkled. Staying up late watching black and white movies in motels. The good times. These were the memories of her mother that she likes to think about the most.
But that wasn't the whole picture. It was leaving place after place once the men Angelica was dating grew bored with her constant drama. Her highs and lows. It was days of her mother not being able to get out of bed because she was in one of her 'moods'. It was the times that her mother said she was going out, and not coming back for weeks at a time. Angelica was here one moment and gone the next. A rare comet from a distance. A destructive force upon contact. The periods of times that her mother would leave, galavanting off with her new beau and leaving her daughter behind, became longer and longer. Eventually, CPS caught wind of the eight-year-old who showed up to school wearing dirty clothes, unbrushed hair and severely underfed, Tabby got put into the system.
It took them a whole year to find her mother, but Tabitha was always waiting for her. Even when they said Angelica wasn't coming and that she'd have to go to Aurora Bay, California and live with her grandparents, she still waited. Waited for her mother to come home, to choose her, to make her feel special. It never happened. Tabitha was withdrawn as a kid, always waiting for the other shoe to drop. It made her fiercely independent. Her grandparents were lovely people, but they knew their daughter - she was never coming back.
As time moved on, Tabby eventually came out of her shell and what emerged was an angry little girl. At school, she was too smart and too mouthy. Constantly in detention for talking back to teachers while getting straight A's on their tests. Any rule was broken, forever acting out as if the school would call her mother and she'd have to come and get her. All it did was give her grandparents grief. She loved them, but the trauma from her childhood was too deep in her veins. Her only saving grace were her friends, the people who made school tolerable. Her best friend, Lucky - he was the grounding force she needed. She would have loved him if she were able to, but after everything that happened with her mother, Tabitha had learned never to love anyone too much. It'll only destroy you when they inevitably leave.
Comforting him during the rough patches with his family came easy to her, and they only grew closer during those times until one night, it blossomed into something more. One night was all it took to completely flip her world upside down. She fully supported his sudden move to London after his parents divorce, she longed to go with him but two pink lines kept her planted in Aurora Bay. Tabitha thought about telling him. When they spoke on the phone, he was always so excited, telling stories about adventures. Tabitha knew that if she told him, he'd come home and it seemed so cruel to crush his dreams like that. There were thoughts of other options, but this was a piece of Lucky and she'd never get rid of that. So she lied, to everyone. Said the baby was someone else's and decided to raise their daughter on her own.
It was tough being a mother at 18. She was still just a child herself, but her grandparents were a great support. Theodora King was born and Tabitha's whole life changed. There were no more talks of college. Only doctors appointments, midnight feedings and the cost of diapers. Eventually, once Theo was a little older, she got a job as a waitress at the All-Nighter Diner as they could watch her daughter overnight. There wasn't much time for things like a social life or friends, and eventually Lucky drifted into the background of her new life.
Just as Theo turned three, her grandmother started experiencing signs of Alzheimer's. Forgetting things, getting easily confused. Things got so bad that Tabitha started worrying that it was no longer safe to have her watch Theo unsupervised, and her grandfather needed to look after his wife. The two moved out into an apartment in Ocean Crest. It was small, but it was theirs and Tabitha tried her best to make sure that Theo never wanted for anything. But times were tough, she had no support. And then on Theo's fourth birthday, she cracked. Bills were piling up, her presents were mediocre and all Theo wished for.. was a dad. While they'd talked on and off over the years, Tabitha bit the bullet and called Lucky. Just as she expected, he came straight home.
From there, after many long conversations, they've been figuring out co-parenting as they go. Tabitha has taken extra part-time work for the days she's not waitressing to make sure that all Theo's needs are taken care of, the weight of impending doom lifted with Lucky's support. She still struggles asking for help, but getting there in time. Theo believes that wishes do come true as she really did get her dad for her fourth birthday.
POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS:
tabitha has been living in aurora bay for the last 14 years after her grandparents took her in from foster care. before that, she was moving from home to home in chicago. ( possible connections: childhood friends, cousins, foster kids from chicago )
her mom was undiagnosed bipolar and would go maniac epsiodes where she would leave tabitha alone for long periods of time. they would move from place to place so she could have picked up a few friends when she was younger. her mom used to enchant men so they had a place to stay, she'd date them for a while but then her moods were get erratic and she'd do things like steal, break their shit or one time, she nearly burnt someone's house down. ( possible connections: men her mom dated, kids of the men her mom dated, someone who encourages this chick to go to therapy )
known around town as a bit of a hard-ass in her youth. she used to talk back to teachers and get detention for being in fights, angry little girl. would have had a small-tight knit group of friends that she cared about but pretended to be indifferent towards them ( possible connections: best friends, friends who lost touch after she got pregnant, kids she got into fights with )
has been working at the all nighter diner for the past fours years since the birth of her daughter, has recently started cleaning houses on the side for extra cash. very unenthusiastic worker but does what she has to so she's not fired ( possible connections: cleaning clients, regulars at the diner, co-workers )
got pregnant just before her 18th birthday after a one night stand with her best friend, lucky. didn't tell anyone that it was his so he wouldn't find out. eventually told him and he came home to help out. currently successfully co-parenting. ( possible connections: lucky's family and friends, godparents, people who helped while she was raising theo )
hasn't been on a date in like five years, at least not successfully. she's a single mom who worked two jobs (reba coded) so there's not much time for things like romance. but since lucky is back and helping out, she might explore more of the online dating space ( possible connections: bad blinde dates, unsuccessful hookups, unrequited crushes )
her non-mom related hobbies include: reading comics, ice-skating (she's actually pretty good) and going to the movies or drive-in, she's a cinemaphile when she has two hours to spare. you can usually find her around town at the movie house, comic emporium, sharky's on the odd occasion. ( possible connections: friends with owners/workers, fellow regulars, random run-ins, one night stands )
before moving to ocean crest apartments, tabitha and theo used to live with her grandparents where she was raised after leaving foster care. unfortunately her grandmother has been suffering with alzheimer's and has been steadily declining so they moved out. on occasion, tabitha takes her grandmother to the hospital for appointments to help her grandfather. ( possible connections: doctors, nurses, people randomly met at the hospital, ocean crest neighbors )
theo is just about to start school in september as she's now five years old. she'll be attending aurora bay elementary, but previously she would have been in daycare at kid’s cottage daycare center on random days that tabitha's grandparents were not available. ( possible connections: new teachers, old daycare teachers, parent friends, playdate friends, theo's best friend's parent )

grew up around with @lorelailewis and @macaulaymontgomery

BASICS
Full Name: Tatiana Valirie Solis
Nicknames: Tati
Height: 5'3"
Gender/Pronouns: cis woman | she & her
Romantic/Sexual Orientation: bisexual | biromantic
Birth Date: May 8, 1993 (31)
Birth Place: Seabrook Quarter, Aurora Bay, CA, USA
Current Residence: Ocean Crest Apartments, Aurora Bay, CA, USA
Occupation: Bartender at the Fire and Ice Steakhouse and Cocktail Lounge
Relationship Status: It's Complicated Single
FAMILY
Father: Unknown (Biological), Gabriel Solis (adopted)
Mother: Unknown (Biological), Sharon Solis nee Dillon (adopted)
Siblings: Possible bio sibs, raised an only child
Extended Family: Unknown (Biological), 2 aunts (adopted, paternal), 1 uncle (adopted, maternal), some cousins (adopted)
SHORT BIO
Tatiana never knew her birth parents. Whether they chose to give her up, or perhaps abandoned her altogether, she'd never know. She was adopted when she was still a baby by Gabriel and Sharon Solis, a well-respected couple in Aurora Bay. Gabriel the respected politician and Sharon the president of her neighborhood HOA, all they needed to have the complete American dream was a cute kid to call their own. Due to a history of cancer on Gabriel's side, the couple elected to adopt.
Tatiana had what could be considered the ideal upbringing. Her adoption was never hidden from her, with her parents never being shy to answer their precocious daughter's many questions. She never wanted for anything, always kept to curfews. And yet, there was some unsatisfied part of her that longed to just live a little. She got her first tattoo at the age of 16, a stick and poke of a small butterfly on her left hand near the webbing between her forefinger and thumb; her first and only real act of teenage rebellion while she lived in Aurora Bay.
She left the comforts of home at 18 to attend the California Institute of the Arts in Santa Clarita. Upon graduating, she left the state of California altogether, moving across the country to job hunt in New York City. While she looked for acting work, she bartended to make ends meet, and grew to love the profession. It was here she met her ex-fiance, and garnered a few more visible tattoos. Problems in their relationship began to appear as another year passed where Tati had gotten no further with her acting career besides background characters in small-budget TV shows and the occasional commercial. It officially ended in October of 2023.
In November of that year, Tati moved back to Aurora Bay, with a failed acting career and a failed relationship all to show for her efforts in NYC. She moved into the Ocean Crest apartments, unable to fully face her parents, and took up a job bartending in the Fire and Ice Steakhouse and Cocktail Lounge. The people can be a bit pretentious for her liking, but it pays rent and bills, so she can't complain too much.

[female & she/her] Welcome to Aurora Bay, [MARIANA VELASCO]! I couldn’t help but notice you look an awful lot like [MICHELLE VEINTIMILLA]. You must be the [THIRTY-TWO] year old [REALITY TV STAR]. Word is you’re [PASSIONATE] but can also be a bit [RUTHLESS] and your favorite song is [HELADITO BY KALI UCHIS]. I also heard you’ll be staying in [FISHERS COVE]. I’m sure you’ll love it! [kim, 28, MST, she/her, triggers (NA)]
STATS (underco) | PLAYLIST | PINTEREST | CONNECTIONS
tw: arranged marriage (i am not sure if there is something else i need to tag but lmk)
How long they've lived in Aurora Bay: 23 years (4 college years spent in SF)
Current residence: Fisher's Cove / @aurorabayaesthetic
You may recognize Mariana if you’re a fan of reality dating shows. She was only 25 when her casting video for a reality dating show similar to Are You the One was chosen out of the thousands the network received. She never admitted it while she was on tv, but it was more of an escape for her than anything else. It was the only escape out of the situation she was in that she could think of.
Mari was only 7 years old when she moved to Aurora Bay, California with her mom from Ecuador. Her mother had told her that her dad would follow behind – only to be told that he was caught at the border and sent back home before he could reach them. This broke her heart as the two were close and it broke every day that passed once communication had ceased between the two. It was hard on her because she found it difficult adapting to new town and language. Not only did she have to teach herself English, but she had to teach her mother too. She did not start speaking full English until she was 10 years old.
When she turned 16, her mother introduced her to Augosto Valverde, a boy that was a year older than her. Mari didn’t think much of it as her mom had been a friend to his family through the years that they lived in Aurora Bay. The two got along extremely well and somewhere along the way they started to date. All during this, her mother convinced her that he would be the one she’d marry when they were both done with college.
By the time Mari had graduated college at 23 – she had fallen in love and it was not with Augosto. It didn’t help that he went to London for college, and she went up to San Francisco. She felt it become less serious for them both as there wasn’t constant communication. This man she fell in love with worshipped her and vice versa. The two were inseparable from the moment they met as sophomores in college up until they graduated. It was safe to say that Mari was not thinking about marrying Augosto.
She had gotten back to Aurora Bay when her mom sprung the news that Augosto would be back in town too and had already asked for approval to marry her. She was shocked. Again, she hadn’t thought about that conversation she had with her mom when she was a teenager. Augosto made it back and he caught Mari with the man she was in love with. She tried to explain that she didn’t know that they were going to get married and that the two hadn’t been serious in so long, why would she even think marriage was still on the books? Augosto was mad, revengeful even, so he revealed to Mari that their engagement had been arranged since they were kids. Her mother had made a deal, ‘sold’ her to say, to Augosto’s family in exchange for money.
When Mari confronted her mom – she confirmed everything. She did indeed “sell” her daughter to the Valverdes because they needed to pay off her moms debts. They were the reason they moved to Aurora Bay. It was the reason why she never saw her father again. Since the engagement was no more, the Valverdes turned their backs on them. Her mom was furious. So much so, that her mom tried to find another rich family to get her married into even if she had to force her daughter down the aisle. Mari was terrified. She felt that she had grown up with a stranger. She couldn’t believe that her mom wanted money so much that she could give her own daughter away.
Her mom did not stop. It was two years that she had to deal with mom showing up to her house or calling her phone about a new potential match. It had become all too overwhelming. Mari had distanced herself from the man she loved and the two broke up a few months before she turned 25. It was amicable and she wished him nothing but the best. After the breakup, she could feel herself falling into a depression, and she needed to avoid that. Most of all, she needed to get away from her mom.
So, she did what she thought was best, and didn’t think it would happen in a million years… She applied to be on are you the one and was accepted. She went on and she flourished. She was known to be the one who spoke her mind and stood up for herself. She was called every name in the book by castmates and viewers yet somehow came out being loved by a lot of people. She did leave the show with a partner in hand – however it didn’t last long because of the distance.
Once she settled back in Aurora Bay, she got a call from her father who had learned that she was on reality TV, tracked her down and found her. He let her know that all contact was cut off and that her mother never told him that they were leaving. They were just gone one day. The two reunited in Aurora Bay and he was able to stop her mom from trying to get her to marry some random man. This left Mariana happy and free as she finally had the courage to cut her mom off.
It wasn’t long until Mariana found herself on another reality dating show. This time, she was on a show similar to Love Island at 27, and she enjoyed herself, but she got screwed over and sent home by the 6th week. This appearance made her even more popular and she was able to get into modeling, and would be asked to help at events through interviewing others such as music festivals, the MTV movie awards, and things like that. She’s had a couple of public flings and not so public flings, but has not had the urge to be tied down yet.
She loves her life and what she does. She feels closer to herself, but now she’s facing the trauma that her mother had given her. It hasn’t been easy, but she’s trying. It was something she was able to avoid by going on reality tv instead of dealing with head on. She's living her life day by day, mommy issues at a high, while learning to be okay with who she has become and what she's been through.
HEADCANNONS:
Her only dating profiles are Tinder and RAYA. Any profile you see on any other platform is not her.
She was one of those on are you the one contestants that did NOT try to be with the one the computer matched her with.
She is still bitter about being sent home early from her last stint.
She graduated with her bachelors a year later than her peers because she took a year break.
She used to live in Seabrook Quarter when she was 23-27

PERSONALITY:
+ adventurous, carefree, fun.
- flaky, gossipy, insecure.
BIOGRAPHY:
( tw: age difference, abortion mention )
being the youngest in a family with seven siblings meant that the spotlight was rarely on cherisa from an early age and she liked it that way. by the point that she was accidentally conceived, her parents were well and truly over the whole "parenting" thing and she was free to do whatever she pleased. the daughter of a polish history professor and an african-american art teacher, cherry was raised in a house full of love and art. after her father decided to move the whole family west from louisana upon his retirement to follow his dream of owning his own horse ranch. their family bred and broke horses in the middle of the santa fe desert, where there was nothing but empty land for as far as the eye could see but they made the most money with guided tours of the best tourism trails in new mexico. her childhood was filled with tourists, coming and going, taking a break from their lives and she loved it. hearing about all their stories and where they'd come from. personable, bright and cheery, she spent all her life chatting to whoever would listen.
not particularly interested in anything academic beyond devouring a good book, cherry always preferred things more on the creative side of life. she enjoyed painting, sculpting or putting together art constructions with the random pieces of materials laying around the ranch. she decorated most of their land with her art pieces, a particular enjoyment of the guests that stayed with them.
at the age of seventeen, she was matured into a beautiful young woman and with that came wandering eyes and flirtatious glances from the men who frequented. it was one particular gentleman that visited often that cherry fell head over heels for. the small glances across the room, the lightest touches from a hand - but nothing ever came from it. she went away to college, studying art but when he returned for the summer of her junior year, there he was.
she didn't mind that he clearly had taken his wedding ring off for the visit, as evident by the tan lines around his finger. her college girlfriend didn't need to know that she spent the whole summer completely smitten over a man twice her age, but eventually they gave in. they were together just for a week, in secret and away from the prying eyes of her family. but it was enough to completely unravel her.
when he left, cherry realised that she was pregnant. too ashamed to tell him, to ruin his life for whatever small love they'd shared. she contemplated keeping it, but knew that her life was only just beginning and so she made the hard choice on her own. never telling a soul. it bled into her art, this heartbreak was hard on her on so many levels. eventually, she graduated - choosing to continue on with a masters degree at southwestern college in california.
away from school, she was producing art in most mediums. her speciality was large installations that included welding, electrical work and major construction. cherry chose a nomad lifestyle, moving place to place every year or so - never wanting to settle down too long. she was in constant search of inspiration. her latest residence is aurora bay, where she's renting out a studio space where she is creating art and creating trouble.

shit stirrer since birth
not a violent guy (unless pushed) but he got a little too big for his boots when money started rolling in and pissed off the wrong people in increasingly more creative ways
was with his best friend when he was ended up being killed over a drug dispute that got out of hand and escalated from an argument to a shooting

joyriding since before he could even drive properly (or legally), was the fastest fucker around when it came to stripping cars for parts which is why when he ended up going straight becoming a mechanic was about the only thing he could think to do that didn’t make him want to die of boredom
broke his mothers heart tbh his dad always likes to remind him that that's what killed her (more aptly it was illness, but it do be getting in on him)
very much uncomfortable with everything about himself and his life and i don’t think he’s felt genuine joy in years
suffers from a terminal case of seeming out of place and disinterested
after working as a mechanic ran its course for him he tried his hand at being a mailman
that lasted all of a year and a half before he was let go after suspicion of mail tampering and not delivering to people he has petty vendetta's against
absolutely justly let go but he'll never acknowledge that
currently working the front desk at titanium and finds amusement in telling gym bros they're looking tiny and questioning the nutritional value of protein aloud

ride or dies / friends -- u know u know.
past exes/flings/fwb -- lets get messy.
neighbours @ fisher's cove -- can be positive or negative vibes
just all of it
GENERIC WANTED CONNECTIONS.

friendly.
a best friend / ride or dies / close friends / childhood friends / pseudo-siblings / friends / drunk friends / new friends / former roommate / people he met on his travels (hasn't been outside of america but anywhere within can be plotted).
romantic
flirtationship / friends with benefits / one time hook ups / tinder matches / unrequited crush (can be either way) / exes from high school / exes on good terms.
antagonistic.
enemies / former (best) friends / exes on bad terms / frenemies / rivals / negative influence / tbh he's an acquired taste so most antagonistic connects would work for him.

full name: shiloh prava sharma
nicknames: shi, lolo
age: 28
star sign: virgo (september 21st)
hometown: albany, new york
occupation: front desk at seascape hotel
pronouns/gender: she/her, cis female
time in town: 2 years
@aurorabayaesthetic
quick facts
(tw - bio has brief mentions of homophobia and parental disownment)
shiloh is the firstborn of six children -- three sisters and two brothers -- born to indian immigrants who settled in albany, new york to start their family. her mother was a preschool teacher and her father worked as a sanitation driver. they were both invested in the american dream and were devouted to their hindu faith -- which shiloh also grew up devoted to.
around the age of sixteen, shiloh's family relocated to new york city in favor of her parents not only seeking better job opportunities, but also wanting to be closer to a more diverse community of indian people.
it was also around this age that shiloh began to question her sexuality. she didn't act on it or say anything, but certain events in her life and her feelings regarding them led her to believe that she was not one hundred percent straight. instead of facing that, she internalized it and focused on her grades instead -- earning a scholarship to cornell.
when she was in college, far enough from home that no one knew her, shiloh began to experiment with her sexuality -- having relationships and experiences with women in the freedom of starting her own life.
after her graduation, she got a job at one of the hotels owned by the banner family. she eventually worked her way up to a concierge position and was renowned for being detail-oriented and cool under pressure.
that 'cool under pressure' was more of an issue when her parents began to line up suitors for an arranged marriage -- traditional in their faith -- leading shiloh to have a meltdown over a family dinner and confessing that she liked girls.
her parents promptly iced her out afterward. wanting to escape from the pain of being disowned by her family shiloh decided to made the drastic change to get her job transfered to the seascape hotel where she hopes to gain the management position someday.
fun facts
shiloh has an impeccably decorated apartment -- she frequently sees ideas on tiktok and thinks 'i can do that' and then has tunnel vision until she can accomplish it
has a black french bulldog named 'devito' that she adopted upon moving to aurora bay
big fan of red wine
local mom friend (she misses her siblings, so she tends to project)
theeeee person to have on your bar trivia team
gets around town via bike because she never learned to drive
trying her hand at pickball
usually has her sundays saved for dateline marathons
connections
shiloh is a brand new muse to me so i'm pretty open to anything that might work within her personality and timeline!
friendly.
co-workers / neighbors / pseudo-siblings / friends / drunk friends / new friends / brunch friends / bar trivia team / clubbing friends
romantic
flirtationship / friends with benefits / one time hook ups / tinder matches / exes / exes on good terms / potential ex from her college days (would need heavy plotting)

Full Name: Ziggy Kyeon.
Nicknames: Zigs, Kyeon, Stardust.
Pronouns and Gender: He/Him, Cis Male.
Birthday: July 15th, 1995.
Birth place: Aurora Bay.
How long have they been in town?: His whole life / been back and forth to LA frequently.
Sexuality: Bisexual.
Housing: Seabrook Quarter.
Occupation: YouTuber, Twitch Streamer, Attendant @ Comic Emporium. // @aurorabayaesthetic
BIO:
born in aurora bay to an american mother and a korean father, ziggy grew up the only child of a couple who had always longed for a larger family that never happened for them
due to being the only child they would ever have, ziggy's parents were generous with their time, money, love and patience - the last of which he often found himself using up copious amounts of
ever since he was a child, he could recall feeling odd that he had no idea what he wanted to do, what he wanted to be when he was older
none of the cliches held any appeal (doctor? no. racecar driver? no. astronaut? maybe! also no) and by the time he reached high school the unsureness of his path started to stress him out to a noticeable degree
it was freshman year of high school when he decided that distraction above all else was needed, and he made his youtube channel. getziggywithit was initially a resounding flop, barely cracking triple digit views due to the randomness of the videos and the lack of editing
At 16 he made his twitch channel, where he often streamed himself playing horror games. that garnered attention far quicker than his main channel ever did, and he kept himself to a mostly regular streaming schedule to try and ride the momentum
he kept at both and eventually overhauled his youtube channel to put most of his time into curating a presence that aligned with his twitch channel and with a more concrete direction, he eventually found initial online success with his coverage of supernatural events and haunted locations
though he graduated high school, he certainly didn't do as well as he could have if he had of applied himself adequately, but he was too focused on subscriber counts and algorithms to give it as much effort as he should have
with no desire to go to university, he knew his parents would support him through choosing to pursue his youtube/twitch careers full time and so he let them
to feel less like a sponge (and not the bob kind that he thinks changed the landscape of comedy) he got a job at the comic emporium because it was the easiest money he could earn around town while still engaging with something that actually interests him
to this day he's still doing all three, the comic emporium mostly because he's grown fond of it rather than actually needing to and he's kept to his upload schedule more religiously than he's ever kept to anything else
has been debating exploring starting some kind of podcast (because the world needs more of those, clearly)
PERSONALITY.
+ creative, imaginative, honest.
- jealous, escapist, opinionated.
FUN ADJACENT FACTS.
has unironically said "like and subscribe" in a casual conversation but is at least haunted by it
has had a second channel for 2 years now, it deviates from his main content and leans into more talking / commentary videos. was nearly doxed by harry potter adults for joking about the zealous nature of hp stans in their 30s
had a no lines, background cameo in resident evil: raccoon city because of how hard he goes for the resident evil franchise on his twitch channel
huge comic book fan and catches almost every cbm the week of release (or day of if he gets a premiere invitation)
goes to san diego comic con every year and goes all out with his choice of costume every time
CURRENT CONNECTIONS.
ex boyfriend of @maura-cortes
best friend of / marriage pact at 40 with @cherryxkoch
sometimes collaborator of @darcyxanthonyx
co-worker of @paxton-brady
friend of @cricketcampbell

oldest of five, shouldered with the responsibility of raising her siblings. felt like she never did anything for herself until getting married in a whirlwind romance at nineteen, and having her daughter at twenty one. divorced by twenty five, but with a degree in hospitality, which she put to use by snagging a job as an assistant event coordinator for a event planner in san diego. was almost engaged again a few years later, but panic slept with her ex-husband and got pregnant again, resulting in their son being born. opened her own event planning service in the last five years, and is currently dealing with her father's sudden (to her) death by not dealing with it.
BIO.
tw pregnancy, infidelity, cancer, death
the eldest born of daphne and august wells, two local community activists based out of fisher's cove.
delilah never had a doubt about how much her parents loved each other, or the four other children who were born as a result of that love, but grew up with the unspoken knowledge that their causes always held priority over being present in those children's lives.
they lacked money more than they ever had an abundance of it, and she was often left in charge of her siblings, shouldering most of the household responsibilities in their parent's absence.
did her best for them not to feel that loss--attended dance recitals, shuttled to and from soccer games (on foot or via rollerskates), did her best not to burn birthday morning special pancakes.
if she was going to be the most stable person in their lives, she was going to commit to it, and doing so did not leave delilah much time for herself. she managed to keep her grades up in school, but normal teenage things, such as dating or extracurriculars or going to the mall with her friends, fell by the wayside, if she ever had them at all.
she dreamed of higher education--unsure of for what, exactly, but the one thing she did have for herself were her journals. writing had always been cathartic for her, her journal a soundboard for the thoughts she didn't have anyone to share them with. she toyed with the idea of applying for a few writing programs, most of them out of state...but even if she got in, she knew she'd never be able to afford actually going, nor did she feel she'd be able to leave her siblings that far behind.
so, college was put on the back burner, with the intention of waiting a few years to save up funds and see her siblings through to a place where they could comfortably support themselves.
it was not delilah's intention to fall in love at nineteen, and most definitely not with her high school best friend's ex-boyfriend...but after a three month summer whirlwind of a relationship, she found herself making what felt like the first ever decision for herself when rafael carreño asked to marry her and she said yes.
things didn't exactly slow down after that. pregnant at 20, their daughter, sophie, born at 21...though delilah knew these were the "logical" next step of things, she still wasn't prepared for how fast life seemed to be coming at her.
where she did her best to lean into it, rafael dug his heels in and tried to cling to his youth. feeling unsupported in her role of mother, wife and now college student (first through night classes through aurora bay college, and then online through a larger university for a hospitality degree), they divorced by twenty five.
oddly enough, the divorce only strengthened their relationship, remaining close co-parents, with rafael getting sophie on the weekends.
post graduation, delilah snagged a job with a san diego wedding planning service, where she served as an assistant event coordinator for over fifteen years, putting her years of managing schedules, dealing with tantrums, and even the occasional hair touch up to use.
her life finally seemed to be settling. meeting and falling in love with benjamin hyun should've been the final piece in that...but after finding the engagement ring he'd been planning to propose to her with while ben was away, delilah spiraled. to this day, she couldn't tell you what it was, exactly: the fear of another failed marriage, or just of feeling stuck, but that ring set off a chain of events that ended with her in her ex-husband's bed and a positive pregnancy test a few weeks later.
ben was rightfully heartbroken, and thirteen year old sophie was confused and pissed about why ben was out and her dad was moving back in and they were having another baby but not getting back together.
their son theo was born (early, and after being kept a secret from the rest of delilah's family), and once old enough, rafael moved back out of the home to resume their usual custody agreement.
throwing herself into her work, delilah eventually decided to take what she's learned assisting all those years and start her own event planning service, events by delilah, which is going on it's fifth year of business!
lost her father just this last year to cancer, something she's still in the middle of processing. as far as she knows, it's a secret he kept from everyone but their mom, and so rather than dealing with the grief and her anger she is simply avoiding thinking about it as best as she can.
HEADCANNONS.
despite teaching most of her siblings and both her children how, delilah has never learned how to ride a bike...yet loves a soulcycle, and attends a class twice a week.
cannot cook. it's always been just a necessity and she has never gotten any pleasure out of it; the words what's for dinner? after a long day can and will send her into a tailspin. has (almost) no shame about being a crockpot mom...if there's a crockpot recipe for it, she will find it!
needless to say...is a pta mom but can and will fuck up even a boxed brownie mix, so if you see her buying store bought cupcakes for the bake sale and messing up the frosting a little to look homemade...mind your business
addicted to cigarettes since her teens. easily stopped during both her pregnancies and meant to keep with it, but now she just smokes virginia slims, which she'll insist hardly count anyways if pressed.
before breaking into the hospitality business, delilah's income was initially through babysitting, and more steadily through hairdressing. she had a chair at the salon up until she graduated from college in 2004. still cuts her ex-husband and her both of her children's hair.
dark chocolate fiend, prefers red wine over white, but a vodka martini with an orange twist above all.
insists that she doesn't have a favorite movie because she falls asleep during them, but can and will in her limited free time manage to watch nearly entire seasons worth to catch up on the real housewives (her favorite franchise is beverly hills).
the summer after graduating high school, almost said fuck it and followed the backstreet boys on their backstreet's back tour with a few friends from school who also weren't going to college...went as far as getting her passport, but got cold feet at the last second and stayed behind. she let the passport expire and has never had another need for it since.
as a wedding planner, has witnessed a real life "i, ross, take thee, rachel" moment and will never be able to forget it in her life
kept her married name because she likes having the same last name as her children; thought about changing it before theo, but after he was born she found it easier just to keep it.
has a voicemail from before her dad passed on her phone that she hasn't opened. she doesn't expect it to be profound, or anything that she needs to hear, but to her, for now, not remembering the last thing he said to her somehow hurts less than finding out and being disappointed.
limits theo's screentime but one time he left behind his VR set while he was with his dad for the weekend and she tried it while a little tipsy...has to admit, it's pretty cool (but still won't allow more than an hour a day and only on the weekends)
cannot talk on the phone while driving (even via bluetooth), if you're on the phone with her while she's in the car, the chances of you hearing her curse and say she missed her turn are high
CURRENT CONNECTIONS.
oldest sister of @buddywellls
ex girlfriend/(almost) fiancé of @benj-hyun
WANTED CONNECTIONS.
to be posted wc: her assistant event coordinator!

PERSONALITY TRAITS.
+ meticulous, supportive, compassionate, driven and protective
- obsessive, assertive, paranoid, jaded and resentful
HISTORY.
aurora bay native who grew up on seabrook drive in what seemed like the picturesque family—her mother was a top real estate agent in southern california, her father a bail bonds man and her brother was on just about every committee possible in high school—but behind closed doors infidelity ran rampant between her parents and her brother was struggling with his own demons.
robin grew up to be free spirited and independent with a penchant for sticking her nose into other people's business, which her mother partly blames herself for. if their family had not been so dysfunctional, perhaps her daughter might not have found it fascinating to eavesdrop on others conversations from the bottom of the stairs, racing up to her bedroom only when she heard footsteps
it was how marisol santos had first learned of her husband's infidelity, when robin had been eavesdropping on a conversation between her father and another woman over the phone in the study.
marisol had dismissed robin's accusations in the beginning, grounding her daughter for spreading such dangerous lies about her own father until robin took matters into her own hands and hand delivered the evidence of her father's affair to her mother in a manilla envelope.
roberto santos blamed her for the downfall of his marriage, marisol resented her for not being able to mind her own business and tiago was too wrapped up in his own romantic affairs to notice his family unravelling and his sister being unfairly painted as the lynchpin in the end of their parents marriage
robin moved out at seventeen years old, unable to sleep under the same roof as her parents anymore, shouldering the blame for their impending divorce despite her only crime being bringing her father's infidelity to light
tiago, having moved out over a year ago, offered her a room until she graduated senior year and started as a freshman at aurora bay college where she would eventually move into aurora bay towers.
robin spent the next four years studying for her bachelor's degree in journalism, laser focused on graduating and getting the hell out of aurora bay and putting the beach town as far behind her as possible
her dream finally came true at twenty two years old, several months after graduating and moving to los angeles for an internship at a local news station to give herself a foot in the door.
during her time working in los angeles, robin met the love of her life—though she would soon come to learn that he was no prince charming. in what robin deemed as the universe giving her the middle finger, she discovered that history was repeating itself and the love of her life was having an affair just like her father had done to her mother.
it was this devastating revelation—and the dissolvement of her parents marriage—that lead robin into a change of career from journalist to private investigator and what brought her home to aurora bay four months ago.
TIDBITS.
loves thunderstorms and curling up in front of the window with her kindle to read the latest sarah j. mass book
owns a black gecko named espresso
isn't forthcoming about the nature of how her engagement ended, only that it has ended and she's five by five ( denial is a river in egypt lmao )
speaks fluent portugese
has been arrested several times since becoming a private investigator for harassment, trespassing and disturbing the peace
WANTED CONNECTIONS.

[ciswoman and she/her] Welcome to Aurora Bay, capri murphy ! I couldn’t help but notice you look an awful lot like lily collins. You must be the thirty two year old wedding planner . Word is you’re spirited but can also be a bit shrewd and your favorite song is imperfect for you by ariana grande . I also heard you’ll be staying in fisher's cove. I’m sure you’ll love it!
capri is a new muse , so bare w/ me as i figure out the basics , but info about her below !
𝚋𝚒𝚘𝚐𝚛𝚊𝚙𝚑𝚢
capri murphy grew up in another coastal town in new england , close to cape cod , ma area . she was the youngest and only daughter in her family , with two older brothers . her parents had been well off due to getting into the real estate world in new england & her father even dipping his toes into politics and being mayor for a term , so capri grew up quite comfortably .
being the youngest and the baby , one would think she'd grow up with a bratty attitude , but no . she was thankful for all that was given to her and had a large amount of confidence from that alone .
in college , her parents connected with capri with higher ups they knew and she was able to get fitting internships for her marketing degree . she ended up graduating with a degree in marketing , but decided to go the event planning route . her parents promised to help her and they did , giving her an extra bit of cash to start her own business for wedding planning in their coastal town in new england .
her business did well , until she realized not everyone lived in the cape all year round like her family , so she decided to take her business to somewhere that had all year round locals , aurora bay .
𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚜𝚘𝚗𝚊𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚢
capri does come from a well off family , so she's always had privilege , but she doesn't like to make it her entire personality . by talking with her , one could most likely tell she's got her sh*t together , but rich kid vibes ? maybe , but not too obvious .
she's a very kind - hearted person & loves hard when she cares for people . she plans weddings , so ofc loving people is super easy for her . on the flip side , if someone wrongs her , she can be quite petty . loyalty is her top trait !
𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚝𝚜
FULL NAME : capri trinity murphy
NICKNAMES / ALIASES : c
AGE : 32
DATE OF BIRTH : dec 9th
ZODIAC : sagittarius
GENDER : cis woman , she / her pronouns preferred
SEXUAL ORIENTATION : heterosexual
NATIONALITY : american .
ETHNICITY : caucasian , irish
OCCUPATION : wedding planner
CHARACTER INSPIRATION : tbh kinda basing her a little off of tswifts personality and cami from djats ... also still figuring it out jsdhks

[cisfemale, she/her] Welcome to Aurora Bay, [AMELIA EVANS]! I couldn’t help but notice you look an awful lot like [DIANA SILVERS]. You must be the [TWENTY-TWO] year old [STUDENT/ATTENDANT AT LUXE CRYSTAL SHOP]. Word is you’re [WITTY] but can also be a bit [SCATHING] and your favorite song is [KIWI BY HARRY STYLES]. I also heard you’ll be staying in [AURORA BAY TOWERS]. I’m sure you’ll love it!
tw: parental abuse, tw: underaged drinking, tw: underaged drug use
Amelia Rosalie Evans was the baby of her family, and an oopsie one at that. Her mother though, Ada, had always wanted a daughter, so there was an excitement in the Evans household when news broke that Ada would be having a girl. And for years as a child, Amelia's life was good. Her mother was sweet and her father was a dutiful man on the Salem police force, her oldest brother Jared was cool enough with her despite their decade age gap, and Amelia was closest with her other brother, Wes, the two of them bonding over their love of books and music, often inseparable as they got older. That was all before though. Before Laurence had had his first traumatic night on the job. Before he became abusive. Amelia didn't even know what'd triggered it, just remembered being ten years old and sitting on the couch reading, and then hearing yelling, and then seeing her brother's blood. She never wanted to see that again--unfortunately though, that night was only the beginning.
Laurence had utterly changed after that night, and while he'd always been rather...difficult to be around, after that it'd just went downhill. He drank himself into stupors, and into anger, taking it out on his sons, but at least he never went after her. It took a long time for Amelia to realize that the reason she wasn't come after was because Wes took the brunt of it for her, to ensure that she didn't go through the same traumas he did. And to an extent, it'd worked. She didn't go through the same traumas, but she had her own. She still walked on egg shells for years, still jumped at every loud noise. She had nightmares and fears and was always terrified of it getting worse one day. That one day he'd hurt Wes too much and then he'd leave too--just like Jared one day did.
It went on like that for years, and as Laurence grew more and more angry and awful of a person, the Evans siblings found ways to cope. Amelia was thirteen when she had her first beer, barely fourteen when she had her first cigarette. Smoking and drinking and hooking up at random, these little escapes helped her tolerate how shitty her home life was, and how angry she was that they all put up with it. She was fifteen the one and only time her father hurt her. Laurence caught her smoking and when she just scoffed in his face because the disdain was rich coming from him, he snatched it out of mouth, snuffing it out on her skin, the grip on her arm bruising and the alcohol wafting off his breath making her want to gag. The memory was still as prevalent in her mind as the burn scar still on her bicep. She didn't stop smoking after that (or drinking), she just got better at hiding it. It went on like that for years too, with Amelia using getting drunk or getting high to get through their shitty home life while just trying to get through school, all the while still angry at their mother for not listening to their aunt Esme who was offering them a way out- to come live with her in California, in a little town called Aurora Bay. But Amelia wouldn't go without Ada and especially not without Wes. No way. One sibling already bailed...she didn't want to follow suit.
But by the time Amelia turned seventeen, her bitterness had grown against Ada for just not leaving their piece of shit father. And all the while, it was Wes trying to convince her to leave, constantly pushing for Amelia to get out and go west and finally life a safe and normal life. Her big brother was like her best friend and surely he'd come along...except he wouldn't, which just further upset her. And as angry as Amelia was with him at wanting to stay, she knew he wouldn't budge- they were all stubborn in their own ways, and so finally after ages of coaxing her to..Amelia finally went on her own, making him swear to at least text her every day so she knew he was okay.
Once there, She found out Jared had gone to Aurora Bay as well and slowly overtime, she became close with her eldest brother again. She did her senior year of high in Aurora Bay high and was immediately the new girl in school, secretive, alluring. She lived with Esme on Aurora Bay Drive, suddenly having more money at her disposal than she even knew what to do with. She managed to make a few friends, dated, started having a life here, but she still always worried about Wes. She ached for him to be here too, to know he was safe, but still, he stayed in Salem. After graduating high school, Amelia got a job at the crystal shop in town, Luxe, because it made her feel closer to him, having spent years learning about crystals and wicca from him. She enrolled into college. She made a life for herself here, but there was still something missing. A wes-shaped hole that hadn't been filled in her life.
Until finally, finally, Wes had arrived--bruised and broken but he was here and Amelia was determined to help put him back together. She was all for it when he got his own apartment, when he got a job. She remembered the first night he let slip about his boss' daughter. She remembered him freaking out when he got said boss' daughter knocked up- but also got to watch him grow into his own, practically maturing in front of her own eyes as he and Liza got closer, fell in love, got married and had their baby- one Amelia was totally obsessed with.
Finally, her life felt...stable. It felt good. So over Christmas break when their grandparents in Paris contacted them, offered to fly them out, while Wes obviously couldn't go...Amelia took them up on the offer. She flew out in January, meaning to just go for a couple weeks but she ended up staying for a couple months, living with her grandparents and just getting all she could out of it. She's finally decided to come back home though, back to Aurora Bay. She wants to finish school, wants to see her niece growing up, and she wants to just live a content life without the shadows of their father around every corner.

biography:
Chaos didn't always follow around Esma and her twin sister Isra. It all started when the girls were five. Their mother had always been slightly erratic, but when their father caught her having an affair with one of his best friends? He couldn't stand it anymore. Knowing Esma was the strongest of the pair, he left her and took Isra with him. This ended up with Esma taking on her mother's verbal abuse, and her mom turning to alcohol. Eventually, she remarried and her stepfather was just as bad.
As she grew into her teen years, Esma began attention seeking, drinking, drugs, and hanging out with people she shouldn’t. Her mother began to get fed up with her, kicking her out when she was 16. This caused her to drop out of high school, couch surfing at her best friend's place; his laid-back parents kindly let her. But it was trouble, she was slowly falling for his girlfriend, and she was falling for her too. It wasn’t very long before they were sneaking around together and she was stuck in some very messy affair that carried on for nearly two years. Funnily enough, it had been the only bit of stability that Esma had ever had.
Tragedy struck when he got into a car accident and passed away on the scene. The girls had been together that night so when they heard the news they both felt an immense amount of guilt. Esma was unable to contain it; hitching a ride to San Fransisco and never looking back. She had no money, no nothing, but being somewhat street smart, Esma broke into an empty apartment to live in while she tried to build up some cash. It wasn’t long until she was caught and kicked out so she had to find a new plan.
Esma still spent most of her time drinking and doing drugs, anything to escape the grief she’d endured over the last couple of years. Finding different bodies to fill the void, until she came across a chef who worked at one of San Fran’s most prestigious restaurants. He was older than her, he had money, and he seemed nice enough so she went home with him, charming her way into his life. It was only six weeks later she was staring at a positive pregnancy test in the bathroom of his restaurant. It was positive and he was thrilled. Esma couldn’t really picture herself as a mother but her life had been flipped upside down, maybe now she was finally going to feel some sort of happiness. He flew her to Vegas and they got married.
Only a short time went by before it all started crumbling. Esma experienced a late-term miscarriage shortly after their wedding day. Things turning more sour than they ever could have with her new husband blaming everything on her. Esma had always been strong but not anymore, not after this. She began to believe the words he fed her. It wasn’t long before he was laying hands on her either. She was miserable. When Esma had enough instead of leaving she began to retaliate. This carried on for years until she couldn’t take it anymore, when she found out he got his mistress pregnant, it was over. Esma cooked her husband a nice dinner and laced it with rat poison, then once he was knocked out, she went to the nearest ATM, to withdraw all the money in their joint account, winding back up in Aurora Bay.
The first thing she did was find a house in Fishers Cove and the next thing she did was find a job at the Four Leaf Irish pub, hoping to forget about everything she had endured. With too much evidence against him, she knew he wouldn't come looking for her. She finally felt strong again.

tw: death
BASIC INFOFull Name: Nicholas Blair Keane
Age: 38
Date of Birth: July 16, 1986
Birth Place: Kent, England
Occupation: Bouncer at Oasis Night Club
BIO
○ Originally born and raised in Kent, England, Nicholas had a relatively normal upbringing: a stern and stoic father, a loving mother, and a rambunctious younger brother who followed him wherever he went.
○ Nicholas always had a knack for getting into trouble as a schoolboy, preferring to settle issues with his fists rather than his words. In fairness, it was always in defense of others who might be getting picked on, or in response to someone talking smack about his friends. Loyal to a fault , it still landed Nicholas in more detentions than his mates.
○ After secondary school, Nicholas enrolled in the British Armed Forces. He knew he wasn't the academic or studious type. He served for five years, and he would never trade those years for anything. It was a challenge in many ways, of course, but it also brought him to places and gave him experiences a young man in his 20s would not have otherwise had. For the first time in his life, he saw the world as much larger than just little ol' Kent. Nicholas would have continued to serve had it not been for his mother falling ill. He left the Armed Forces and spent a year taking care of things at home before stepping out to figure his own way.
○ With his relatively unique experience and skills, Nicholas began working as a personal bodyguard in London. In his initial years, for events like concerts or one-off jobs for VIPs and politicians. It wasn't very fascinating to him but it was a job that paid - and he supposed anyone at his age was supposed to get a start to their career. Eventually he found a steady job being a bodyguard for a wealthy family.
○ He started as a staff bodyguard, usually around the home or accompanying work. After some years and making a good impression, he moved his way up to private detail. Being more involved and closer to the family, he learned that there were shady dealings and fishy business happening, which he wasn't too keen about. He wasn't intending on staying long. He was keen to go out and figure out what felt like such a missing piece in his life; rediscover some of the joy he had from being in the Army. Those plans completely changed when Nicholas met her.
○ [Mei Lian's wanted connection] Falling in love. He really hadn't intended on it. Never really thought about it, either; always pegged that sort of thing for everyone else but him after his few experiences with girlfriends as a teen. But he did, and with the boss's married daughter, no less.
○ Nicholas's mother fell ill again, and he was needed back home. He saw it as an opportunity to run away with Mei Lian, and he asked her to come with - but to his heartbreak, she declined. Nicholas returned to Kent by himself. Unfortunately, Nicholas's mother succumbed to her illness this time and passed away.
○ With too much baggage and sadness surrounding Kent and London, Nicholas opted to leave and visit USA. He remembered a beautiful coastal town that Mei Lian spoke of when they used to dream of living a life together. For the past four years or so, he has lived in a mix of places, working similar but odd jobs just to allow him to continue to travel through the country and find this town - hoping to figure out where home was along the way. Some short months ago, Nicholas finally found himself in Aurora Bay...
TRAITS
+ Determined, Loyal, Courageous
- Brash, Reckless, Astray

about.
drugs, alcoholism, substance abuse tws
mars is the youngest of five boys — no joke — all named marcus, after their dad marcus. it was a bizarre decision on the part of his parents, but it certainly reflected their parenting style, which could generously be called "hands-off" but could less generously be described as not giving a fuck. they were catholic enough to not believe in contraception until they had their fifth marcus and decided enough was enough.
both of his parents struggled with alcoholism and substance abuse issues, and his brothers were no help; it was every man for himself in their house, with the five of them often getting into fights over the best places to hide whenever one or both of their parents were in a rage.
by the time mars was seven, he was already fed up with his parents referring to him and his brothers by a number, so he started going exclusively by "mars" (MAR5, get it?).
he and his brothers were active shoplifters, and they were pulling mars into their schemes around the same time he'd given himself a new name. he learned how to lie and charm very quickly (the two are basically synonymous to him now), and his strategies for stealing went back and forth between distracting people because he was a cute kid and slipping in and out without getting caught. he was the runt of the litter, but he learned how to use it to advantage
he finished middle school but just didn't show up for his first day of freshman year, then never went back to school again. his parents didn't give a fuck about truancy calls, and the school he was supposed to be going to wasn't great anyway, so they never followed up. instead, he spent his days loafing around boston and, at sixteen, dealing — which he was fantastic at
he was so good that he actually managed to make a good amount of money for himself, and at eighteen he bought the cheapest thing he could find in a used car lot, packed a single backpack, and drove away
he spent three years just driving around the country, spending money pretty much only on gas, food to sustain himself, and motel rooms when he desperately needed a real bed to sleep in and a shower. sometimes he'd spend extended periods in one place, picking up odd jobs to recoup some more cash before he hit the road again. (he'd also stolen a pound of coke from his supplier before he left boston, so he also sold that for as long as he could).
at the end of year three, when he was twenty-one, he finally made it to the other side of the country in that same terrible car, which was already held together by duct tape and fell apart almost as soon as he rolled into town. he didn't want to buy a new car, so he figured he would stay a while. he used the rest of his money to put down a few months rent at a trailer park outside of town and took random jobs while also figuring out some way to find a supplier in LA so he could start dealing in AB (mostly to the rich people in AB drive, tbh)
and he just ended up...never leaving. he found he liked california, which was so unlike where he'd grown up. he went from job to job while dealing on the side, never getting caught
until he did get caught. he was meeting a buyer in the arcade, but it was intercepted by the owner, an old, take-no-shit lesbian named angie, who told him she wouldn't call the police as long as he never stepped foot in the place again
he stayed away for weeks, before he was finally compelled to go back in and actually thank her for not ratting him out. and she did almost call the cops on him as soon as she saw his face, but then his old charm kicked in, and he was able to talk her down and offer to buy her a drink
angie basically adopted him after that. she was mean, never put up with his shit, and didn't mince her words about him needing to get his life together, but that's sort of what he needed. at least he knew she cared. eventually, he stopped dealing and sort of nepo babied his way into an assistant manager job at the arcade. after a while, he was able to move out of the trailer park to ocean crest.
angie died when he was thirty-five, and for reasons he still doesn't understand, he left most of her money and the arcade to him, with a note that just told him not to fuck it up. that's failing UP, baby
he's been trying not to fuck it up ever since. he moved out of ocean crest to a little house in seabrook. he can barely comprehend how straight he's gone, but he'd be lying if he said that little, long-dormant kernel of chaos didn't tempt him to puncture his nice blanket of peace sometimes
tidbits.
a gremlin!! a liar and an idiot and a gremlin!!
he still steals shit, but has actually grown a conscience about it and stays away from small businesses. big box stores he'll swipe from all the live long day
definitely bought crypto (dogecoin, specifically). still thinks it'll bounce back. also was big into the entire gamestop sitch
BIG gamer. spends lots of saturday nights yelling at randos over discord while playing helldivers
subscribes heavily to the 'don't get high on your own supply' motto. he actually doesn't really indulge in drugs aside from weed (anymore. he definitely used to)
he hasn't seen or heard from most of his family since he left boston, but marcus 2 (who'd also broken away from their family after mars did) actually managed to track him down a few years ago. they talk occasionally
still doesn't own a car. instead he has a dumb little moped that he thinks he looks awesome on
angie's note is framed and hanging on the wall behind the counter at the arcade
