moved to antioch when he was 4 years old due to his father wanting to lay low after getting too close to being investigated for money laundering
missed home like a motherfucker and by the time he was in high school he felt super disconnected from his time there, so he focused a lot on french studies
thus, the crash
at first, he was against the whole ... you know ... feasting
waited until he was legit about to die before partaking and after that everything changed ⸻ he became very down to keep eating if it meant surviving
afterwards, he lived up to his family name and volunteered to take on the job of butcher
oddly became very used to life in the wilderness and lowest of keys wants to go back
ANYWAY. a literature fiend and could prob recite frankenstein cover to cover
was a bit of a whore in the few years after he came back to civilization :/
treats his german shepherd, kara, like she's his real life daughter
Tumblr media
𝘵𝘩𝘦  𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗡𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦.
you're an angel / i'm a dog. an ex from before the crash. when he came back, he realized there was no way for them to be able to stay together. your muse is an angel and his teeth are stained red.
a haunted house with a picket fence. close friends. he doesn't get too close to a lot of people anymore, so they're #special teehee
out monster the monster or be quietly devoured. someone looking into the class of 2008. theo keeps an eye on them and is potentially trying to steer them away from the truth.
heart rot. ok walk with me ... i have this thought that theo's best friend was in french studies too and went down with the rest of the class. eventually, he was the subject of a feast and that really cemented how fucked up theo became. i'd think it'd be super interesting if your muse was his friend's sibling and they have a very weird and complex relationship now.
literally any and all connections pretty pls :3

[ Timothy Olyphant, 53, cismale, he/him ] Welcome to Antioch, GIMOTHY GRANT BLUME! Local sources report that you’ve been in town for 30 SOME ODD YEARS and are known to be SOCIABLE yet IMMORAL. Others have dredged up rumors that you’re involved in THE VAMPIRE OF ANTIOCH as BLUME DADDY, but most know you for your work as THE OWNER/OPERATOR at LOVE BOUTIQUE. We’ll see you around town soon!
Character Name: Gimothy Grant Blume Nickname (s): Giminy (Started by baby Annabelle when she couldn't say his Gimothy), Gum ball, Gim, etc. Give him all the nicknames and I'll update this Face Claim: Timothy Olyphant Birthday: August 18 May 7th, because now he was conceived at Woodstock Place of birth: Georgia, America Zodiac: Leo Taurus MBTI: ESTJ, the Executive Moral Alignment: Lawful neutral Occupation: Business owner/Professor Place of work: Love Boutique (Teacher at Antioch University) Subplot affiliation: The Vampire of Antioch 3 positive traits: Decisive, determined, diligent 3 negative traits: Amoral, calculating, irreverent Languages: English Love language: Quality Time Biography (optional):
His father a drunk and his mother a runaway, the pair had an illicit courtship that crossed the country, the pair of them running away from Antioch to be together. They traveled around between bars, tourist traps, and music festivals, with his mother Delilah winding up pregnant after a hazy few days at Woodstock. He wasn't the only musical baby from that, she would tell him with a laugh. There wasn't much laughing when Gim got older. By the time he was a teenager, his mama mostly laughed when she was out of her mind on her latest fix. The drugs weren't easy to kick. In fact, Delilah got into them further and further and one day she disappeared entirely. His father Josiah tried to find her, and ended up killing a man trying to find information. The law caught up with Josiah and Gimothy was supposed to go into the system since he was a minor. Instead he ran, lying and pretending to be older than he really was to get barely paying jobs that didn't care much about him as long as he did what he was paid to do. He wasn't wandering aimlessly, Gimothy had a goal in mind and that was going back to Antioch. He knew his parents were from there and that he had to have family, that there had to be something waiting for him. He just didn't expect how much family or to be wrapped up in people the way he was. It seemed like everywhere he looked, there was an aunt, an uncle, a cousin. No siblings, but that was fine because all the second degree family was more than enough to be overwhelming to a guy used to only two steady presences in his life. He'd only been in Antioch a handful of years when his girlfriend became pregnant. It was a stupid move to marry her, but he did it anyway, working on making a cute little family with her and their twins were adorable as far as Gim was concerned. Their marriage was another story. The kids were young when the divorce came, but they were old enough. Old enough for school, old enough to ask questions, and that wasn't a pleasant time in Gim's life even if he knew that it was probably better for them in the end. He got married a second time, and then a third, but he still only had the two kids, and they remained his world. Then his world was shattered, and his soul along with it. Years later, and Gim still hasn't learned how to put all the pieces back.
Wanted Connection #1: Someone that thinks they might be his illegitimate kid. Yes, I'm thinking about the Walshes. Wanted Connection #2: A toxic ex because the man has been around since his divorce. Wanted Connection #3: (Former) students of his from the university.

abstract ⸻
weighed down by the guilt of surviving the car accident that killed his best friend, ivo left a promising life and career to return to his hometown. in antioch, he discovered a morbid relief in throttle therapy. he doesn’t care about the pink slips as much he does the high of driving at dangerous speeds in illegally tuned cars. when he isn’t racing, you can find him inundating customers with information about old records in retro deviant; or you can find him in his parents’ garage in verdant hills, tuning cars for a handsome price.
wanted connections ⸻
rival : they frequently race against each other. maybe they hate each other, maybe it's a frenemy situation... maybe it's sexy. friends who were also friends with his dead friend : maybe there's tension there, maybe they blame him for the accident. or maybe they're worried for him. customers of car tuning business : may be illegal or may be not, your choice !

[ JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS, 40, CIS MAN, HE/HIM ] Welcome to Antioch, Cleric Ledger! Local sources report that you’ve been in town for three years and are known to be affectionate yet capricious.

History
Who are you if you're anything and everything to your parents? Where does their love end and you begin? This is one of the grand questions that's haunted Cleric since he gained lesser sentience. An only child, illuminated in the care, joy, elation of his mother and father. An idyllic home in the rural Irish countryside and free reign wherever he wanted to go. Whatever he wanted to do. The world, as described by his parents, was his. He spent his days in the light and its blinding radiance, under the warm glow of the sun and his parents, the clear waters and lush forests, spoiled rotten and enabled beyond belief. Never punished nor impaired, well-kept and pampered, more like a pet than a son in his youth. He was raised in opulence, threads of fine metals woven together, stained glass painting the cobbled floor as the light pierced through it. Cleric learned things, but he was never taught. He was never taught that life had value, that it was considered in poor form to disregard it. He was charming and friendly, but aggressive and overly-affectionate. He found love easily, and violence even easier than that; another thing he was never taught, that there was a difference between the two. That's what his parents were, right? Their love for him was violent, staining him with the blood they buried in the back yard with his first and only pet? This dichotomy started to fuel an obsession within the glorified pet-child. What was the blinding light without darkness following behind it? What was love without the violence needed to commit? What determined what held value over something else, something more primitive? He didn't leave Ireland until the night that carnal desire united too intimately with love and he murdered a woman whose name he didn't even know as she lay naked in the bed next to him. His parents, in their undying devotion towards him, made sure he wasn't charged with anything, nor did he become a social pariah. He never asked what they did. He didn't care. About anything. Several years, lots of tattoos and languages learned, a botched class in anatomy and a couple of casual, primal, boredom-caused murders later and Cleric, having become a world traveler by this point thanks to his parents affluence, found himself in Antioch where things were decidedly... off. Different. Interesting. Cleric was "content" to stay here until he'd undoubtedly get bored, kill someone, then move on to the next place.
Extras *** While he attempts to make his accent implacable, it often drifts between several different ones, sometimes more than once in a single conversation. His natural accent takes an Irish lilt. *** Unrelated to his tattoo experience, Cleric is an artist and several of his smaller paintings can be seen on the walls of the parlor. Depending on which side they're on, the shapes are either flowing, bright and sometimes even eye-searing as they reflect the light or impenetrably dark, with sharp edges and chiaroscuro. *** He takes a lot of pride in his hair, both on his head and facial. A quick and easy way to get on where his good side generally sits is to compliment his hair. *** Cleric's arms are fully sleeved, mostly in Gaelic/Pagan runes and symbols. During the day and at work, he wears tank tops and thin t-shirts, but at night he always wears dark shirts with sleeves so long they cover his knuckles. *** He's a hyperpolyglot, picking up several languages to use conversationally in his lifetime and though he specialises in four (Latin purely out of boredom), he can reliably make small talk in over 13.
Wanted I || The Exception - Cleric has a very short list of people whose health and happiness matters to him and that list is... himself. But wait, that's not entirely true. Your character has gotten/will reach further into the center that churns within Cleric Ledger than anyone has previously gotten, and their efforts haven't been/won't be in vain. They're starting to become the object of his rare, deep affection, the fascination in his eyes, the obsession of his search for beauty. Do they appreciate his basal inclinations and simple interpretation, or is he wanting to dig deeper into them than they would like? [This is a ship call, essentially lol hit me up]
Wanted II || The Regular(s) - Regardless of his personal life, Cleric unironically takes pride in his work as a tattoo artist. He's only been in Antioch for a couple of years, but with his parlor's unique layout coupled with his own natural charisma, he's made a name for himself in town. Your character could've gotten their first or fiftieth tattoo from him, but he'll be "happy" to get to know them outside of work. He may also accept a protege or two, who knows?
Wanted III || The Delver - It seems like just about everyone in Antioch is running from something, and Cleric is among them. He had flitted throughout Europe and the United States, seemingly in one place at one time then the next, a completely different country. He might've blown through somewhere your character used to live, and they remember that he mysteriously disappeared just as fluidly as he arrived when the broadcasts were bustling with news about a potential murderer in the area. They see him now in Antioch, and they don't trust him with a tattoo gun, let alone what he does outside of work...
Wanted IV || The Chain - Through the haze of mixed messages, hypocritical exchanges and drunken flirtations, your character managed to dig under just enough of Cleric's skin to latch onto something important to him, something that will make him concede faster than any human eye or thought process could interpret. The weak link in the chain, the exploit. Cleric doesn't bend the knee, but whatever this thing your character has managed to find gives him pause. Whether it's to gap Cleric's more unsavory traits (for whatever reason), stop them altogether or it's a form of blackmail to benefit your character, it works regardless. I'm super flexible on this and this connection is NOT the same as The Exception. Variety!

[ MELISA PAMUK, 33, CIS FEMALE, SHE/HER] Welcome to Antioch, CEMRE AVCI ! Local sources report that you’ve been in town for 5 YEARS  and are known to be BRAVE yet RECKLESS Others have dredged up rumors that you’re involved in THE VAMPIRE OF ANTIOCH as DETECTIVE. We’ll see you around town.
Character Name: Cemre Avci Nickname (s): n/a Face Claim:  Melisa Pamuk Birthday: May 25th Place of birth: Istanbul, Turkey Sexuality: demisexual Zodiac: Gemini MBTI:  ESTP Moral Alignment: lawful neutral Occupation: Detective Subplot affiliation: The vampire of Antoich 3 positive traits:  brave, confident, adventurous. 3 negative traits: reckless, impulsive, perfectionist Languages: English, turkish, italian, spanish Love language:  Quality time, acts of service Biography (optional): 
bio  -
cemre was born as an only child to asli avci , her father wasn’t in the picture and she couldn’t remember anything about him. her mother didn’t bother to mention any detail of who he was or if he cared to get to know his family. her mother settled to live in los angeles, california. as a child, she was one to take initiative, she liked to be adventurous. which often led her to do some daredevil things. she was one to be confident in everything she did. she was in control of herself, and no one else. throughout her childhood, her mother really was the only example she had as a parental figure. the relationship was not the typical mother-daughter love that one would expect. it was more of a business, nothing personal. cemre was taught and raised to be whatever her mother sought her to be. in this case, a treasure, a flower, or a prize to be placed on the highest pedestal. her mother made sure that cemre excelled in all subjects in high school, she made sure her name was known. asli taught cemre that you can get anything you want if you set your mind on it. everything in life was handed, it was about taking without giving in return.
one could say her mother was a bit of a con artist or rather used her charm as a scammer and made her way up to the finer things in life. thus providing cemre with a way of living. this didn’t leave room for things such as love, comfort, and safety–all things a daughter had in connection with a mother, but unfortunately, it only made the hole in her heart black. the beautiful girl grew up to be distant, unempathetic, and unapologetic. turning to the people surrounding her as she aged, to be examples of what one shouldn’t be. had her play pretend and blend into society, after all, that is what her mother wanted.
in a way, this made her dangerous because she has a temper that one wouldn’t want to see on a bad day. at the age of twenty, cemre had come to learn that life is what one made of it. she wasn’t taught how to defend herself or fight, plus she didn’t grow up with any protection. she protected herself. This led her into the world of law enforcement, there were too many people out in the world wanting to do bad. She didn't want to be one of them, so she became a detective to discipline herself. She spent the next few years climbing up the ladder in the law.
Since arriving to Antioch
arrived five years ago, she's known to catch criminals quickly, and isn't afraid to use force.
the story of the vampire of Antioch is interesting, she is in between on whether the vampire bit is real or not. But does take her work seriously.
loves to have fun, she will go out to a bar, dance, let loose. work can be too stressful sometimes. gets along with her fellow detectives and crew.
personality
she has grown up all her life learning how to blend into society, and she never really showed her true self. it was always about the finer things, people always discussed names and titles, and she pretended for most of it all. she has a hard exterior and rarely shows a kind caring personality. however, she does like adding a bit of a flare in what she does because she’s dramatic. however, she won’t tolerate any disrespect, to herself or fellow detectives. she is known for making things fun, parties, decorations, and events. she’ll be the first to go all out.
WANTED CONNECTION #1: Detective partner - she respects this person, and takes in all the knowledge she is taught. she is very involved in solving cases. she works well with this person.
WANTED CONNECTION #2: enemies - perhaps she is snooping too much, gathering information that this person may not want her to know. maybe they steer her off course, or choose to distract her by all means.
WANTED CONNECTION #3: a valued friend - since arriving to town, this person welcomed her. Since the day they met, they have been very close friends. They hang out most of the time and enjoy each other's presence.

[ willa fitzgerald, thirty-six, cisfemale, she/her ] Welcome to Antioch, BONNIE DEVERAUX! Local sources report that you’ve been in town for FIFTEEN YEARS and are known to be COMPASSIONATE yet NAIVE. Others have dredged up rumors that you’re involved in STELLAR SOCIETY as A CULT DEFECTOR, but most know you for your work as a/n SERVER at BLUE MOON DINER. We’ll see you around town soon! 
TRIGGER WARNING: parental death, overdose, drowning, drug addiction.
𝐁𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐂𝐒.
name: bonnie lynn deveraux nicknames/alias: bon ( by her mother ) faceclaim: willa fitzgerald age: thirty-six gender: cisfemale sexuality: bisexual / biromantic date/place of birth: march 13th / augusta, georgia currently: antioch, oregon subplot/role: the stellar society/cult defector positive traits: compassionate, well-mannered, gentle negative traits: naive, self-indulgent, impulsive astrological sign: pisces archetype: the dove
𝐁𝐈𝐎𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐇𝐘.
little miss bonnie lynn. that was what they called you in your early years of life, before the hurricane of bullshit touched down upon the ground underneath you. it was never made quite clear what job your father held, all you knew was that he never wanted you. he signed away his rights before you even opened your eyes for the very first time, the product of his transgressions with his secretary, your mother. and although she got quite the hefty sum for her silence -- she never quite forgot that she was unwanted. it was somehow easy for mona mae deveraux to forget that you were nothing more than a child. instead, you were a problem. a mouth she had to feed with her hush money.
the high life had always called mona's name -- always at her child's expense. you were taught how to operate a microwave to feed yourself before you even learned to read, taught to pay a visit to your neighbors if there was ever an emergency. you were never quite right for school, at least in the academic way. socially you are golden, causing everyone to fall at your feet. teachers adore you with your kind words and your sweet smile, despite all that has befallen you. perhaps this is why you stay this way: kind and gentle, with their encouragement. doors will open for a smile like yours, bonnie lynn. even if your own mother slams them in your face.
when people ask what your mother does for work, you have little to answer with. she comes and goes as she pleases, but you have never quite known where. all you know is that the bills are piling up, the word OVERDUE calling out to you like a grim bell toll. by the age of fourteen you're working as much as the state allows, but this doesn't stop you from taking every hours worth of pay you can get. if your mother won't keep a roof over your head, what's stopping you from doing it?
by the age of fifteen, you've come to realize one thing only: your mother has become a leech. she is addicted to the feeling of being scorned -- jeering from afar at your father and his wife. you hate your father, sure, but you are not consumed by the what ifs. the presence of one living relative, your mother's younger sister, has entered your ears like the whisper of a passing secret, but it never became more real until yet another night out caused your mother not to return home for two days. from then on you took it more seriously, never expecting a successful outcome. you finally reach out for help, after months of fear. turns out she's been waiting for the day she can hear about you, learn about you. a couple weeks later, she's in court with your mother fighting for custody. you never expected her to win, but the relief you feel is unlike anything else -- you are free. the world is yours.
you don't have much money considering it is you who has been paying the bills, but you don't care. your mother is no longer your problem anymore. you begin your new life a couple of hours away from augusta, working multiple jobs to save up as you finish out your ged -- and you do it, despite the mental exhaustion. college was never even a second thought, the first was always to keep food on the table. by the time you finally turn eighteen -- an adult in the eyes of the world despite wandering through the world as such for three years now, you feel some amount of stability. as rocky as things remain, it is your life now.
you hear not a single word directly from the woman who brought you into this world -- but you learn that she met her end by drowning in a bathtub. you had tried to help, you did. despite her distain for you, she was your mother for some amount of time. you craved her love, her care. if you hadn't gotten out of there, she would have swept you under like the currents control of the tide before she pulled you out to sea. you offer some money to help with arrangements, perhaps more than you believe she deserves, but guilt is a powerful thing.
by twenty-one you have finally arrived in the place you now call home -- beaten down by life and venerable to the sweet sweet words of the stellar society. they lure you with the promise of a family, saftey, security... a place to be wanted. the utterances were sweeter than sugar, before beginning to fester inside of you like a weed that intended to kill. despite it all you stay, hoping that things would be different, hoping that the world would finally be kinder. but it never was.
by the time you finally pull away, finds sweet freedom once more -- life has continued to pass you by. it's been many years since, and you still hasn't found it within you to put together the pieces left of her early twenties, unable to understand how the fuck you ended up here. and how the hell you're going to save the rest of them from themselves.
sweet little bonnie lynn. that naive little girl never really went away, now did she?
𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒.
has a rather eclectic sense of style that is uniquely her own, one comprised of a lot of ripped denim, mixed-metal chunky jewelry and well-loved t-shirts.
no stranger to going out when the work week is over. the kind of girl to be dancing on tables with a smile on her face.
if bonnie has any living blood relatives out there besides her aunt -- she hasn't spoken to them. if they contact her, she will avoid them like the plague.
naturally approachable. the persona she shows to her customers is what everyone else sees, wether a friend or a passing stranger.
𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒.
WANTED CONNECTION #1: THE REASON SHE DEFECTED. i intentionally left her exit from the cult rather vauge for this very reason -- perhaps someone else helped her see a way out and the two of them defected together? i am very flexible in terms of the nature of the relationship. platonic? former romantic relationship that ended due to bonnie's commitment issues? lets chat!
WANTED CONNECTION #2: FRIENDS WITH BENIFITS. bonnie is easy to be enamored by -- having gotten nearly everything she's ever wanted in her adult years with a simple bat of her eyelashes and her trademark bonnie lynn smile. her kindness has still remained genuine, no matter how battered and bruised it has become. and yet, she can't seem to believe that she actually deserves genuine love or affection. wether this person has serious feelings for bonnie not, it's a difficult thing to get under her skin -- and this person has worked for it.
WANTED CONNECTION #3: A CONFIDANT. it's completely up to player how she met this individual -- but this person has always made her feel safe. free of judgement, free of stress. when bonnie is around this person she feels like she is completely able to be herself, something she desperately needs after enduring so many years of self protection.

[ CHA EUN-WOO, 28, CIS MAN, HE/HIM ] welcome to antioch, SUNG-JAE 'JAE' WALSH ! local sources report that you’ve been in town for 28 years and are known to be FORTHRIGHT yet COMPLEX. others have dredged up rumors that you’re involved in A HAUNTING IN ROSELAND as AN ADOPTED SIBLING, but most know you for your work as a BARISTA at THE SCOOP. we’ll see you around town soon ! 
THE BASICS.
character name. sung-jae walsh nicknames. jae face claim. cha eun-woo  birthday. april 18th, 1996 place of birth. antioch, oregon sexuality. homosexual zodiac. aries mbti. istp moral alignment. chaotic good occupation. barista place of work. the scoop subplot affiliation. a haunting in roseland 3 positive traits. forthright, insouciant, self-reliant 3 negative traits. complex, enervated, withdrawn languages. english, korean, mandarin love language. acts of service
BACKGROUND.
TRIGGER WARNING: mentions of abuse, death, hospitals, illness, mental health, murder, premature birth.
SUNG-JAE WALSH was brought into the family not long after he was born. with six siblings, there was never any room to be lonely, always having someone ( or multiple people ) around. not many of his memories before the incident are intact, having been so young at the time, but he was always described as a sweet child, a smile on his face most of the time.
only three years old at the time of the tragedy ( taken in by other relatives afterwards ), the youngest sibling's formative years were certainly ... different from most. everyone knew about the walshes' story. over time, he grew angry with what felt like a constant spotlight on his family, and by the time he was ten, he had become extremely reclusive.
this trait remained with him as he grew up, coming to be known for his aloof nature and bluntness. if there's anyone who doesn't have the patience for bullshit, it's jae. this being said, he isn't a bad person – the complete opposite of it, really. while it may be hard to get past his walls, the people that have succeeded in doing so are deeply cared for, and know he's a sweetheart who's a lot more than what he puts on.
by his later teenage years, he was a bit of a problem. acting out, doing things he shouldn't be, sticking his nose places it shouldn't be, deliberately throwing himself in harms way, getting in trouble with the police, etc.
despite his disinterest in most things, one thing that he did seem to naturally indulge in were his studies. academically inclined, he graduated high school with honors, recognized as the valedictorian ( which left many taken aback ). years and years of prying and ridiculing from his peers resulted in quite the scene and uproar during his speech ... we'll just say everyone got to hear how he felt about them.
in university, jae majored in science. if putting his skills to use helped him continue avoiding the elephant in the room that was his declining mental, that was good, right ? he was in the process of obtaining his bachelor's when someone new came into his life during a low point, at a time that seemed too good to be true. and that it certainly was.
it took a long time for him to get out of the abusive relationship, and by the end of it, he was extremely fragile, almost a shell of himself. having to drop out of his studies and get a restraining order, he spiraled until, with the help of a trusted friend, he finally got the help that he needed.
today, he's on medication, and attends therapy ... sometimes. he just doesn't feel like going half the time, which isn't great, but hey, he's doing better than he was ! we won't talk about how that's up for debate.
he has two cats, one black and one white, a loyal german shepherd that is both his best friend and service dog, and two white tree frogs.
in regards to the upcoming release of the film, jae is very against and disapproving of it, and has not cashed the cheque. one way to have him not talk to you is to bring up what happened twenty-five years ago.
*more to be added !
WANTED CONNECTIONS.
classmates: from elementary, middle school, and / or high school ! if they've known each other throughout all, they would've seen jae's drastic change in personality ... if they went to high school together, they would've been there for his angsty, teenage rebellious phase. were they friends ? did they dislike each other ? anything is possible !
university friends: self-explanatory !
childhood friends: self-explanatory !
the trusted friend that helped him: during the lowest point of his life, they helped him get back on his feet and start his healing journey. would be his lifeline of sorts.
good influence: jae has a tendency to get into trouble, whether he's seeking it or not ... when they're together, his reckless behaviour is lessened — they influence him to be more responsible and take better care of himself.
bad influence: the complete opposite — they get into so much shit together, do not trust them to make good decisions when they're with one another. self-destruction to the max.
extended walsh family that took him in: after the incident, he was picked up by other relatives.
friends of the walsh family: self-explanatory !
biological parent(s): jae never got to meet them. so much is possible with this one — where did they go after leaving town ? did they return to antioch after the murders ? are they on the search for him ? how do they feel about it all ? what would they think of him now ? ( lee dong-wook would be perfect for this. )
employees at saint peter's hospital: he spends ... a lot of time in the hospital. he'd probably know a good number of the staff at this point !
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
jae was born prematurely, at 28+6. a strong little fighter from the start, he was able to be brought home to his adoptive family after 96 days in the nicu. michael and belinda were wonderful parents to their new baby boy, loving him through the emotional rollercoaster up until their dying day.
he has his fair share of scars — a number of them from various medical surgeries, others from injuries. the most distinguishable ones that can be seen would be the one below his left eye, horizontal and a few inches in size, the one on his right arm, starting at the back of his hand and going up the length of his forearm.
his wardrobe lacks any colour, only dressing in black; sometimes he'll throw in a little grey to spice things up a little. a man of many leather jackets, maybe he'll accessorize with a pin if you gift him one. maybe.
he's a biker; gotta go fast ! it's his favourite method of transporation, but he does own a car for the times he doesn't bike. the models are sleek black, as you might have already guessed.
as an outcome of his preterm birth, jae has a few health issues that have followed him into adulthood, asthma being one of them. having been diagnosed with congenital heart disease as a baby, he's had a number of procedures and surgeries done in his 28 years. he continues to see a cardiologist for routine checkups, and follows a medication regimen.
in general, jae comes off as chilly and distant. his personality is complex and very … person to person. he’s not much of a talker, but he does think a lot, extremely perceptive, reading into every little thing. big fan of the side eye, also just. ignoring. king of zero expression.
HOWEVER ! he isn’t only an edgy legend. with the right people, close friends for example, his soft side shows — he really is just a gental giant who cares deeply and loves hard; a person who lost his childhood before it even began and had to adapt.
he loves astrology, stargazing whenever the opportunity is given. definitely has apps on his phone that map out the constellations and moons, his camera roll probably has endless pictures of the sky.
surprisingly very good at taking care of plants ! has a grow room in his house, different varieties decorated around the rest of it. a relaxing little hobby.

Character Name: Ridoc Larson  Nickname (s): None Face Claim: Anya Taylor-Joy Age & D.O.B.: 27 / October 10, 1996  Hometown: Chicago, IL and Rockford, Maine  Zodiac: Libra MBTI: ESFP-T (Entertainer)  Moral Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Occupation: Mechanic Place of work: Buster’s Garage Subplot affiliation: Street Racer Positive traits: (5) Bold, Observant, Resourceful, Independent, Playful Negative traits: (5) Selfish, Cynical, Reactive, Suspicious, Jealous Languages: English Love language: Physical touch and words of affirmation
Ridoc's mother was written off by her parents after she fell pregnant with her first child, Theodore. She then dropped out of school to raise him. She worked in a coffee shop by day and as an exotic dancer on the weekends to bring in the much needed extra cashflow. It was during one of these shifts six years after Theodore had been born that Thelma discovered she was pregnant with Ridoc. She knew it was one of her side-clients but as she wasn’t sure who, she kept it to herself. Ridoc’s birth was the wake-up call Thelma needed to start getting serious about her life, and, after begging help from a particularly rich client, she was able to enroll herself in community college to earn her nursing degree. From there she was determined to move out of the city and so they did, to a small quaint town on the coast of Maine. Ridoc was into karate and dance as a young child and as a game between her and her mother she would try to copy and learn one new dance move a week to impress her mother with on Friday nights: the family movie night. Both she and her brother excelled at academics much to the pride of their mother. Ridoc was about to be moved into an accelerated STEM program when tragedy struck. Their mother, tired from working a double-shift at the hospital, flew through a red-light and was t-boned by a semi. Death was instantaneous.
By this point, Ridoc was ten and her brother seventeen, so rather than go into the system, Theodore applied for his emancipation of minor status and won, allowing him to gain custody of Ridoc. They moved back to Chicago so that it would be easier to find work. Unfortunately, between school and taking care of his little sister, Theodore found it difficult to hold down a job and became involved in local gang activity. Ridoc meanwhile became involved in kickboxing, able to easily manipulate her body to do what was required of the intense sport. Everything turned upside down when her brother was arrested two years later the day after Ridoc’s twelfth birthday for felony robbery and abetting murder. Ridoc went into foster care.
Most of the homes were less than ideal. Some with ‘fathers’ who tried to take advantage of those within her care. Others with 'mothers' who restricted access to food and other necessities, viewing the foster child as merely a way to make money.  At age fourteen in yet another foster home, driven by her anger and grief she got herself involved in gang activity. With them, her fighting skills were an asset, something to be celebrated. Her small size and stature made her seem to be an easy target, thus helping her slip by those who incorrectly thought that a drug runner wouldn’t send his stuff out with someone so small, so incapable of self-defense. At fifteen, she was officially initiated into the gang, a diamond tattoo and the gang’s words, “Bandas de Almas” (gang of souls) tattooed in delicate font behind her ear. 
It was there that she gained her love of cars. They competed heavily in street races, using the chaotic atmospheres to push their product. Too young to drive, Ridoc’s job was to sell and help with maintenance on the cars the gang put into the race. Cars, percocets, and partying became her life. At seventeen she was arrested for drug possession and sentenced to four years in juvenile detention on a plea deal that would keep her from going to the big house when she turned twenty-two. While in juvie, she received extensive counseling. Those in charge of mental health ensured that she received proper care for the grief of losing both her mother and effectively her brother as well. She walked through therapy sessions untangling the feelings of shame, low self-worth, and most of all anger. In between time spend laid back on a couch she learned a trade, choosing to specify in auto-mechanics and even becoming an employee in the prison’s garage. By the time her four years were over, she felt like a new person. 
Unfortunately, after she was released the gang of souls found her and made her pay for her betrayal. They did not kill her, but throughout the brutal torture she received she found herself wishing they would have. Now she bears the scars of their actions and all the emotions she had managed to work through in therapy came rolling back to the surface, throwing her back into her old self.
For two years Ridoc was on parole. She spent the time getting as much experience as she could under the hood of a car. Parole forced her to stay away from the part of her life she loved, the street races and its raucous community, but she made do with some of her other habits. Kickboxing to make money, usually in unsanctioned fights, though she was smart enough to lay off getting high during her parole. 
A few months after the end of her parole Ridoc became swept up in a whirlwind romance with a man who she truly believed loved her-- and perhaps he did, but after the pair were married in a drunken state at a casino in Paris, France, things began to fall apart. Less than one month into their new marriage he had cheated on her once more. He had made a habit of it before, but the two had never outright made things official until trying to give their accidental marriage a go. His deliberate cheating, despite his excuse of being high and ‘forgetting’ that he was married, was the final straw for Ridoc, and she fled. It took her over a year to push the divorce through due to his reluctance to let her go, and during that time she found herself hitchhiking across the country, wanting to explore all that life had to offer. She settled in New York for a time. The underground fight scene was lucrative and allowed her the chance to purchase her own car and get back into what she loved. Ridoc easily made a name for herself and would have gone on to win even bigger if it wasn’t for the accident.
Cut off by another racer who had lost control of their car, Ridoc swerved, and crashed into a local grocer. The store and car went up in flames and Ridoc fled. Antioch came upon her radar some months later. A town with a reputation, one Ridoc knew she could fit herself into. A few months have passed and she’s managed to acquire a new car and a job that allows her to work on it. With a new name and new documents thanks to the money she earned from her underground lifestyle, Ridoc is ready to make a name for herself in her new home.

[ OSCAR ISAAC, 40, CIS MAN, HE/HIM ] Welcome to Antioch, Gael Córdova! Local sources report that you’ve been in town for four months and are known to be intuitive yet distractable. Others have dredged up rumors that you’re Unaffiliated, but most know you for your work as an FBI Detective. We’ll see you around town soon!
Character Name: Gael Abelardo Córdova
Face Claim: Oscar Isaac
Birthday: August 14th, 1983 [40]
Place of Birth: Austin, Texas
Zodiac: Leo
Sexuality: Biromantic Bisexual
MTBI: ENFJ [Protagonist]
Moral Alignment: Chaotic Lawful Good
Occupation: FBI Investigator
Place of Work: Currently stationed in Antioch
Subplot Affiliation: Unaffiliated
Positive Traits: Intuitive, Friendly, Enthusiastic, Fun-Loving
Neutral Traits: Perceptive, Strong-willed, Persistent, Confident
Negative Traits: Distractable, Stubborn, Nosey, Condescending
Languages: English, Spanish, Latin
Love Languages: Words of Affirmation [Giving] Physical Touch, Words of Affirmation [Receiving]
History You know the guy who seems to succeed without really trying? That's Gael. The middle child and an only son between four sisters, he was already ahead of the curve by standing out to his parents. He displayed an early affection for chemistry and physics, and took childhood self-defense classes so he could, in his words, "beat up anyone who looked at his sisters funny". Things that followed him throughout his adolescence were his quick learning skills, ability to seemingly make friends with anyone, his passion for science, and his dedication to their household religion. He spent almost as much time at the Parish as he did in the library, the computer labs, the lab labs, and the neighborhood park. Just before earning his BS in Chemistry, one of Gael's close friends went missing, seemingly overnight. Search parties were conducted, the local authorities were alerted, Gael himself spent tireless nights and days looking, desperate to find the man who had a wife with a child on the way and a promising future in neuroscience... but nothing came up. The FBI was contacted. They didn't find anything, either. Three weeks later, his body was dredged from the lake. From there, Gael's goals seemed to pivot. He became obsessed with forensics in chemistry, bothered the FBI agents who'd gotten involved, demanded to know why they took so long, why it didn't seem to be that big of a deal or a priority for them. They fed him excuses that he didn't believe, but it took one agent in particular to pull him aside and tell him that if he wanted to change things and make a difference so fewer cases like Gael's friend happened, that he should step up to the plate and do it himself. So he did. The minimum age requirement for joining the FBI was 23 - Gael was in that door with his application the day after his birthday. He met the physical requirements, the mental and emotional baselines. He was young, enthusiastic, ambitious, and already had knowledge in forensics and information gathering. He was recognized as a gifted profiler (despite never having done anything relating to that field before) and had genuine empathy for everyone who needed it, but was content to remain a Special Agent, being sent to where he needed to be, helping anyone he could... offering that support where his missing friend didn't get it. He always was a go-getter.
Extras *** Contrary to how most other agents treat their badges, Gael doesn't prefer to show his off at every opportunity. He also doesn't use his status as a special agent as a threat unless someone is actually breaking the law. *** He loves cats! Well, he likes most animals, but cats are his ultimate favorite. He can and will get distracted if he's allowed to pet your animals. Except for frogs, he doesn't like those. They weird him out. *** On a scale from 0 to 10 Gael is an absolute zero on believing in the supernatural. Everything has a reasonable and scientific explanation and while he won't flagrantly insult others who do believe in that stuff (ie most of Antioch), he's a skeptic down to the bone and refuses to accept anything at face value. *** He plays a handful of stringed instruments and considers himself to be a suitable singer, though he only does it as a hobby. Obviously. *** Gael's a man of action! He likes physical activity, playing sports, going for jogs and sometimes even chasing down criminals. He's rather short (at 5'9") but he's still pretty fast.
Wanted I || Buddy System - Gael's "new" in town. He's also single and sooooort of ready to mingle, finding himself between wanting to keep his presence in Antioch purely professional and what he actually wants to do and that's have fun, grab a drink and find someone who can keep up with him intellectually as well as physically. This could be your character!
Wanted II || The Chase - Your character is a criminal, either by way of something in their past or an event that's yet to be determined. Gael is nothing if not a bloodhound and while he's currently in town for reasons unrelated, that doesn't mean he won't subtly start applying pressure to your character, whether or not they're actually guilty. He likes to think he's good at what he does, and his sense of justice is seemingly insurmountable.
Wanted III || Every Movie has Those Rivals, Right? - Enemies! Rivals! Whether it's because he's part of a government agency and that inherently makes him untrustworthy to your character, his subtle better-than-you and condescending attitude grinds on their nerves or they just don't like how he boldly proclaims that he can outperform anyone else doing something he's competent in, your character takes this as a challenge. How exciting, he does too! He's always wanted to have a rival!

Welcome to Antioch, INA SIRACHAYA! Local sources report that you’ve been in town for 28 YEARS and are known to be STALWART yet COMPLAISANT. Others have dredged up rumors that you’re UNAFFILIATED but most know you for your work as a WAITRESS at BLUE MOON DINER. We’ll see you around town soon! 
quick facts ⸻
character name: inthira sirachaya nickname: ina face claim: nychaa nuttanicha birthday: 11th may 1996 place of birth: antioch, or sexuality: bisexual family: sophida sirachaya ( mother ), penny sirachaya ( daughter ), tba. zodiac: taurus sun, pisces moon mbti: esfj moral alignment: neutral good occupation: waitress place of work: blue moon diner subplot affiliation: none positive traits: stalwart, adaptable, benevolent negative traits: complaisant, self-critical, impressionable languages: english, thai love language: words of affirmation
abstract ⸻
the glaring result and persisting evidence of her parents' affair, she’s spent her entire life apologising for this singular mistake. that meant learning how to crawl out of the dearth of parental love and guidance, and pursue a life washed from the sin she inherited, all on her own. her idea of salvation was simple: a college degree and a ticket east. but as doomed narratives often are, it can never be that easy to leave. she found out she was pregnant the summer before her junior year in college, prompting her to pause her fantasies of leaving antioch, in order to raise her child. it’s been on pause since and, whether it’s cowardice or all her love, time and attention going to her kid — or the irrational belief that the town is her own hell she’s not allowed to escape from — she hasn’t been able to pick it back up. whatever it is, she’s the smiling figure you’ll often see in blue moon diner, greeting the regulars, the locals, and the tourists with the same genial attitude beaming with a soft light of kindness seemingly amiss in a town known for its dark troubled history.
wanted connections ⸻
childhood friend / best friend / close friend(s) : friends who, growing up, let her sleepover whenever things weren’t okay at home; who are basically her family; who were there for her during her pregnancy; who can be coaxed into babysitting.
her child’s other biological parent ( age 28-31 ) : ideally someone she did not have a prior romantic relationship with ! the entire dynamic is up for discussion !
half siblings on her mom’s / dad’s side ??? ( at least half-thai ) : her parents projected their hatred for each other onto her so neither of them treated her particularly well. maybe your muse inherited their animosity, or maybe they feel bad for her !
favourite blue moon diner regular : maybe an unlikely friendship ? or a one-sided friendship. either way, ina loves talking to them, likes living vicariously through them, and always looks forward to them coming to the diner.
not-so-favourite blue moon diner regular : ruins her day the moment they walk in the door. she may have spat in their food once.
a mentor or parental figure : someone she looks up to and goes to for life advice ( and maybe to borrow cash from ... ). can be someone who also works in the diner? like, the norma to her shelly.
other : a bad influence ; someone trying to recruit her into a cult ; her plug ; and anything else u'd like ! <3

[ aslıhan malbora, 28, cisfemale, she/her ] Welcome to Antioch, EVREN ŞAHIN! Local sources report that you’ve been in town for a week and are known to be HELPFUL yet CAVALIER. Others have dredged up rumors that you’re involved in UNAFFILIATED, but most know you for your work as a/n PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR. We’ll see you around town soon! 
basics
name: evren şahin
nickname(s): ev
age: twenty eight
birthday: june 3rd
gender: cis female
pronouns: she/her
sexuality: bisexual
ethnicity: turkish
nationality: american
hometown: chicago, illinois
current residence: a room at on the road inn
occupation: private investigator
languages: turkish, arabic, & english
religion: islam (non practicing)
archetype: the explorer
zodiac: gemini
mbti: isfp
moral alignment: neutral good
love language: acts of service & quality time (giving) | words of affirmation & physical touch (receiving)
family: asil şahin (father; alive), miray şahin (mother; alive), rahmi şahin (older brother; alive), hasan şahin (twin brother; deceased), lale şahin (younger sister; alive)
pet(s): emre (german shepard)
personality
+ HELPFUL | - GULLIBLE
evren was raised to help those in need and always give people the benefit of the doubt. while she is not the warmest or bubbly person out there, she'll do her best to offer a helping hand when she can see that the situation calls for it. on the flip side, she is quick to take others at their word, which isn't always the wisest thing to do, and it often causes unnecessary strife in her day to day job.
+ LAID BACK | - CAVALIER
whether it be rude ass people or just the curveball life throws at you sometimes, ev is not one to worry. rent late? oh well, it'll get paid eventually. a karen being a karen? it's kinda cute they care so much. got stabbed? eh. it'll probably heal, and ev has a common blood type. so yeah, she's definitely not sweating the small stuff. or the big stuff. or the things she really should be sweating.
+ CURIOUS | - NOSY
you know those annoying kids who always ask why to everything? yeah, evren has always been that kid. she wanted to know how things worked, the reason stuff happened. perhaps it was this innate curiosity that initially drew her to investigative journalism and later on private investigations. regardless, her curiosity often crossed the line into nosiness. it wasn't like she genuinely cared about all the information she learned; she just liked to know things.
biography
her parents were traditional: asil was working as a surgeon while miray was a homemaker.
they immigrated to the u.s. soon after marrying. rahmi was born later that year.
they lived in a nice brownstone.
despite how loving and accepting her parents were, evren always felt like the black sheep of the family. it was like she was on the outside looking in.
while she never went through a rebellious phase, she never met the expectations she felt her parents had for her. she fell short in that regard.
it was worse when hasan died. not only was he the golden child with his perfect grades, star athletic qualities, and charming personality, but also he was her very best friend.
it was on a camping trip the twins were taking their last summer before their senior year of high school. some of their friends and them went water rafting. it went bad.
miray and asil didn't blame her. but evren did.
fun facts
she is currently trying to track down some rich college student who ran away from home. her search has brought her to antioch (surprisingly). hopefully, she can find the kid quickly and leave.
graduated college with a journalism degree.
evren often enrolls in different courses and classes for fun. from knife throwing to lock picking to tap dancing and beyond. her skill level, however, varies from activity to activity.
while she's not a straight out slob, evren is a disorganized mess. books, papers, and files scattered everywhere. jackets and hoodies slung over furniture. all that matters is that she knows where everything is....for the most part.
whenever she has the time, she still goes over to her parents' for family dinner and game night.
