look i kno i said i wasnt gna bring a 6th until i was caught up w replies bt i kno gunner well n therefore felt like he deserved his time to shine in the rp so i beg of u pls plot w him looks at u all like :B
* axel auriant, cis man + he/him | you know gunner paxton, right? they’re twenty-two, and they’ve lived in irving for, like, four years? well, their spotify wrapped says they listened to bizarre love triangle by new order like, a million times this year, which makes sense ‘cause they’ve got that whole curling up for days in bed wearing a hello kitty comfort shirt, stuttering in the face of affection, and hand me downs two sizes too big thing going on. i just checked and their birthday is july 31st, so they’re a leo, which is unsurprising, all things considered. ( bri, 23, est, they/them )
background.
middle child of the paxton family, cliff being the eldest and wyatt being the youngest :D
they lived at the top of a hill in a trailer in a trailer park neighbourhood in laramie, wyoming so to say the least that fucking sucked for everyone involved
the trailer was so small that all 3 boys ended up sharing a room, gunner and wyatt sharing a bunk bed bc they cldnt fit 3 beds into one room it really was every childs nightmare bt they quickly grew used to it tbh
gunner was always more of an artsy child than invested in sports - though he does enjoy baseball and continued even to this day after their dad made him join SOMETHING in middle school - so he never rly earned their father’s respect, but he was always close with his mom since they had the same calm temperament
(depression/anxiety tw) he also gained a list of mental health issues that their mom had as well, including social anxiety and major depressive disorder
(violence/abuse tw) their father always encouraged pretty volatile behaviour and it caused a lot of physical fights and arguments between the brothers when their dad told them the best way to get over it was to start hurting until someone tapped out, it was just a chaotic and pretty abusive household but no one knew and their mom definitely wasn’t going to say anything about it to their dad
(missing child/kidnapping/anxiety/depression tw) wyatt went missing on a weekend that their parents were gone because of a trip they won, and things just got worse from there, high school was really rough for gunner, his anxiety grew worse as time went on that no one found wyatt, their dad grew more hostile towards them, cliff left home in the middle of the night never to be seen again (merely leaving a note so that the family didn’t think they had a case of two kidnapped children), and their mom just grew sicker, it was rare that she would ever leave her room and if she did it was in fits of random energy where she would do something spontaneous and completely unnecessary to their house as a way of coping
the two years that gunner was at home after cliff left were pretty brutal and as soon as he could, he was fleeing wyoming and going to school in irving
(internalized homophobia tw) things are far better now that he’s out of his home situation, but ofc he still has a few personal things he’s working thru; the paxton’s were raised in an incredibly religious household, and he’s got some classic Catholic Guilt going on upon realizing that he’s not jst attracted to women n he avoided talking abt it forever/stayed in the closet fr far too long bt he’s sort of come out now in his own way even tho he does still get a bit nervous talking abt it rly
he’s also ‘dealing’ rn (just pharmaceuticals) which is frankly funny to think abt bc this man is abt as threatening as a care bear bt money is tight all things considering and a librarian job doesn’t rly cover it, and with the amount of meds he’s on, plus incredibly frequent doctor’s visits, needing to pay for extra epi-pens, inhalers, etcs. bills add up so he’s cutting back his meds n selling wht he can spare which is . so unhealthy bt thts life in corporate america baybee!
details.
is literally allergic to everything. grass, cats, most fruits, milk, most nuts, bees, latex, probably more i cnt even keep up w them its pathetic
u can catch him strutting around town w his blinged out epipen holder (aka blinged out w pins of his fav horrors movies) LKSHDGKLHSKLDG
if things cldnt get worse he also has quite intense asthma so he carries an inhaler with him at all times
n to make matters even WORSE he frequently has dizzy spells n bad memory problems bc of all the concussions he’s suffered from (about 8-9 at this point) as well as consistent migraines that can b literally debilitating sometimes
awkward n jst a bit of a Weirdo to b frank like he barely knows how to converse with ppl
didnt have any friends in high school so took the time to teach himself rly weird things, knows a fuck ton of magic tricks, can yodel, juggle, solve a rubix cube with his eyes closed in under 30 seconds, just extremely weird and specific things
can honestly b a bit mean/barbaric to ppl he’s not close w/doesn’t kno - has told ppl to their face before he doesn’t enjoy talking to them bc he has no concept of social constructs/norms
loves 2 film random things at parties, makes him feel more comfortable at them n he makes short films of them all after
going off that fact he did a film internship in nyc during the summer and is trying to find a job in that field
doesn’t realize demisexuality is a thing so he’s never been that fond of sex but has this stigma in his mind that that makes him Broken so he still Tries n it jst doesnt go well tugs my shirt collar
connections.
ppl who r more into under the counter meds than Hard Drugs n buy off him?? probs wld have to kno him some way hes too scared to sell to Random randoms
ppl he went to school w? :D
some friends………. hes awkward bt he means well…………
ppl he has a crush on/unrequited crushes either way wtvr floats ur boat he crushes quite easily but never does anything abt it fr the most part
a mans he wld Risk It All fr (aka a guy tht he actually has a crush on n is Extra Awkward probs a lil mean to bc hes still New to That)
some enemies tbh, he has a temper n he tends to blow up rarely bt it happens n when it does it actually can b quite scary JKSHDGLHSDG
a muse….. mayhaps?? someone he always wants in his film projects
awkward past hook ups/one night stands where one of them cut ties off cuz every time they got together gunner acted like he was embalming a body for a funeral
current hook ups/fwb’s w ppl he’s actually close w/is comfortable w so its nowhere near as bad SDKHSLDGHKLSDGH
Anything u Desire

ok so i’m late to the party as always but..... here’s river my lil soundcloud rapper. ur welcome for blessing y’all with ur favorite ethnically ambiguous white boi fc bc he’s SO DARN CUTE. here’s proof. anyways like this for plots ok ?
( noah centineo • twenty-two • cismale ) looks like river eposito just moved into apartment 5B! i heard that he is here in los angeles because he’s an aspiring rapper trying to get signed by a record label but has been struggling – thankfully moreau has taken them in! rumour has it, they can be quite detached and sullen but at least they're astute and pragmatic, hey? i can already tell they’re going to be the despondent of the building. ( ooc nicki, 18+, pst, she/they )
ABOUT
river was raised in oakland california under less than ideal circumstances. he grew up exposed to a lot that a child has no business seeing at such a vulnerable age. parents were underaged runaways, did some less than ideal things to keep their house running. river became the eldest of 7
their household was never the ideal but river learned to adapt. he became street smart beyond his years and knew where to hide himself and his siblings whenever the family business was going down. he’d barter in the streets to get little gifts for his siblings in order to give them some semblance of normalcy in such a messed up world
he became cold and disconnected, his coping mechanism to keep the world at an arm’s length. he stayed away from drugs as long as he possibly could until his curiosity got the best of him. he’d probably be on the same track as his parents if it wouldn’t have been for music
he took jazz band in school and was a gifted piano player, a natural talent that kept him off the streets and gave him something to care about. piano led into singing, which he loved, but his music met his passion for poetry in the form of his songwriting
river was producing his own music by his senior year of high school, keeping to himself and weaving it in between band practice and being the primary caretaker for his siblings. he’d party on the weekends but nothing to a extreme, knowing he could never escape the vicious cycle unless he kept his feet firmly on the ground
post-graduation, he got enough money scraped together plus a scholarship to do a basic two year stint at his local community college. took music classes and did internships at recording studios but knew he’d never reach where he wanted to if he stayed in oakland. after convincing his grandparents to help out with supervising his siblings, he spent the last tricklings of his money on his first month of rent and a bus ticket to los angeles
he’s been here for a little over 6 months now and is doing demos for every major record label that will give him the time of day. it’s tedious and hard but he loves it and knows it’ll be worth the wait once he finally makes it big and can provide for his siblings
personality wise, he’s kinda moody and broody ? just like always looking 100% over it and like he could crush u. lowkey grumpy but mostly just a detached human being who clearly doesn’t like human emotion. he usually stays out of trouble bc he likes to keep to himself n be mysterious but he won’t hesitate to protect his loved ones bitch
once u get over how….. annoying and angry he is all the time u see he’s lowkey a huge softie, likes to cook n smoke weed on the couch in his fuzzy socks, will constantly be facetiming/texting at least 2 of his siblings, at any given moment. has a decent tolerance while partying so he’s usually the dad friend taking care of the lightweights at the end of the night
he also has a really big heart so he like….. tries not to do hookups bc he knows he’s gonna get attached but nobody assumes this since he acts all hard n then suddenly he’s writing a breakup ep about someone he never technically dated ??? an actual Mess
uhhhh not that anybody cares bUT he’s a slytherin, has a severe peanut allergy, is left handed, and his vc is the neighbourhood / jesse rutherford ;)))
CONNECTIONS
the best friend, lit friend group, close good influence friend, ppl he’s heped with groceries, that one person he buys weed from, the one person he tried coke with and said never again but lowkey wants to try it again, maybe someone who knows his music ? unrequited crush, unassuming crush, will-they wont-they, flirtationship, really cute “i get flustered when i talk to you so i try to impress you in other ways” basically i’m still half asleep but i want every plot imaginable
