Is that TAYLOR MORROW “TK”? Wow, they do look a lot like CHARLIE ROWE. I hear HE is an EIGHTEEN year old FRESHMEN who are studying BIOLOGY at Luxor University. Word is they are a(n)REGULAR student. You should watch out because they can be ALOOF and GULLIBLE, but on the bright side they can also be ECCENTRIC and KIND. Ultimately, you’ll get to see it all for yourself.
Hi Friends! I’m Bey, and this is my new oddly inspired little bean, TK.
Background:
Taylor Kennedy is his real name, thought it’s only ever used by his mother when he’s in trouble or by his ex-girlfriend, whom he was incidentally always in trouble with. LMFAO.
You know, I don’t know if anyone truly knows the origin of the nickname TK, much like the Joker, TK can give you a multitude of stories to why his name is TK, TK probably doesn’t even actually know.
From Newport, OR; a small city town, everyone knows everyone, and everyone marries their high-school sweetheart. His parents were high school sweethearts and raised three kids working as a business owner and a teacher, very happy home, they always did things together as a family, very close, until the discovery of his half-sibling
Life just wasn’t the same, once his father’s secret was out, he had another kid, and no one knew. TK’s mom completely shut down, his dad had nothing to say, his brother stopped talking to their dad, and his sister well she was upset the attention wasn’t on her.
TK knew he needed to get out while he could and that’s why he applied to Luxor, the furthest he could get away from home, that wasn’t much like a home.
Personality:
I always compare him to a little puppy, just a tag a wagging, big ol puppy eyes and the over eagerness to play.
He’s pretty carefree and laidback, most of the time because he doesn’t know what’s going on, but he’s excited. (puppy)
Leo Sun, Gemini Moon, Cancer Rising
TK is very forgetful and can be pretty gullible, imagine Andy Dwyer from Parks and Rec.
Imma tell you his sim traits because I made him in the sims (because i’m that extra): Absent-Minded, Loves the Outdoors, Clumsy, Friendly, and Flirty.
sneaking this in here, he’s 6′2
Hobbies/Interest:
He’s very outdoorsy, loves to fish, surf, and just explore outside, whether that’s walks or hikes, wouldn’t be surprised if he slept outside.
Being from Oregon’s coast, he obsessed with marine life, emphasis on his knack for fishing, wants nothing more than to be a marine biologist, yeah he’s like good at science??
TK is an explorer at heart, hikes and walking, and finding things, even if it’s a bottlecap from ten years ago, it’s a treasure for him because he found it. No adventure is too big or small. Up is his favorite movie.
Class Schedule:
He’s a Bio Major, He wants to be a marine biologist like Adam Sandler in 50 first dates.
Communications
Human Biology
Foods and Nutrition
Pilates
Anthropology

updated intro
Is that JACK KELLY? Wow, they do look a lot like TIMETABLE CHAMBERMAID. I hear HE is a NINETEEN year old SOPHOMORE who are studying AEROSPACE ENGINEERING at Luxor University. Word is they are an ARISTOCRAT student who is FOR The Unhinged. You should watch out because they can be PHILOPHOBIC and INSINCERE, but on the bright side they can also be WITTY and IMAGINATIVE. Ultimately, you’ll get to see it all for yourself. [YUNI, 21, GMT, SHE/HER]
ALRIGHT. ive rehashed this intro so many times so if you need an in depth biography of ratman, please refer to his previous intros. this one will provide some tl;drs if u forgot him and some plot ideas and wcs for jack in the coming season.
some basic info
full name: jackson noel kelly - he goes by jack and he won’t answer to jackson. (he would like me to add that he also answers to “hot stuff.”)
date of birth: december 25, 2001
current age: 19
zodiac: capricorn sun, leo rising, sagittarius moon
place of birth: sheffield, united kingdom
current place of residence: new york, united states of america - he’s a dual uk and us citizen courtesy of his american adopted mother. (pls deport him anyway.)
appearance
faceclaim: tim tim champagne
hair colour: brown
eye colour: green
height: about 5′8ish
piercings: one hoop in his left ear
ethnic background: caucasian. he has no idea about the specifics, because he only ever knew his mother and he doesn’t know his familial history. nor does he want to.
voice: jack has a northern english accent, but he’s slowly losing it despite his efforts to maintain it due to his spending close to four years living in america. most of the time he sounds purely northern but occasionally he slips up and something comes out in more of an american sounding way and he’ll cry on the inside mourning the loss of his beloved disgusting yorkshire vowels. or smth.
personality
traits: problematic
basically jack is the kind of guy who never aged up from his 12 year old moody emo phase. still thinks it’s acceptable to lie, manipulate and be downright rude to push people away from him. his favourite hobby is to try and get close to people in order to later turn against them. of course, like anyone, he has a soft side - but it’s hidden beneath a strong layer of rude jokes, sarcasm, and disgustingly sexual comments. think jack sparrow with more mommy issues.
backstory
to summarise, jack was born to a drug addict mother. he was pretty much raised by his older half brother and otherwise neglected, in and out of foster homes, until he eventually was adopted by a very loving family who he now makes every effort to push away. so he has some minor abandonment issues which he then tries to solve by ... abandoning everyone before they can abandon him. for more info on his backstory see his earlier intros!
luxor history
some of jack’s most iconic luxor moments include:
- that time he disappeared for a month and then reemerged (april 2020-may 2020)
- that time it was revealed said disappearance was bc his mother died (may 2020) (no, he’s not over it)
- that time his suicide attempt got exposed to the whole school (june 2020)
- doesn’t everyone think he has a std?
- that time he spent months claiming to be the crusade and then when the crusade revealed his brother went to jail for smth he did the boy STILL managed to act shocked
- many, many rounds of posters
WANTED CONNECTIONS
- party buddy
a key theme for jack right now is his constant concern that he’s slowly becoming his mother. im looking for a friend who he maybe starts to act out a little more with, doing far more drugs and going to way more parties. this would only worsen jack’s inner concerns and downward spiral since his mother being a drug addict puts him on edge thinking he will turn out the same.
an actual friend
hard to come by when you’re a literal rat, but it would be interesting to see jack develop an actual connection with someone to the point where he’s comfortable opening up to them at last. i’m thinking maybe someone who didn’t like him at first, but slowly starts to see there is more to jack than the front he wants u to see.
sworn enemy
okay, it’s jack, who isn’t his enemy. but still, it’s always fun for him to interact with someone who hates his guts, since this only spurs him on to be worse and wind them up even more.probably ends in a few physical fights. jack will lose, but he doesn’t care. he derives enough fun from bothering people, he can handle a punch or two.
partner in crime
is anyone as evil as jack? eh idk but he wouldn’t mind having someone join in on his antics. probably someone who doesn’t really care as long as it’s not about them or someone they care about, and who also finds it amusing when jack distributes poorly spelled and very unfunny posters about students. what can i say, the man lives to have his “wit” appreciated.
exes
jack, a self confessed man whore and serial cheat, likely has many exes. and he treated every single one like absolute shite. it’d be interesting to see him have an ex to interact with, whether they hate him for what he did to them, or whether it was a situation where feelings were involved and he ended up hurting too even though he pushed them away, or whether they end up friends.
family friends
people who’s parents are friends of his adopted family would also be appreciated, since jack TRIES to not be associated with his adopted parents. mostly bc they spoil and coddle him and it really ruins his Cool Image.

MARCELLO DE ROSA
Is that MARCELLO DE ROSA? Wow, they do look a lot like LORENZO ZURZOLO. I hear HE is a EIGHTEEN year old FRESHMAN who is studying ENGINEERING at Luxor University. Word is they are an ARISTOCRAT student. You should watch out because they can be DOMINEERING and ALOOF, but on the bright side they can also be GENTLE and PLAYFUL. Ultimately, you’ll get to see it all for yourself. [gigi, 18, mtn, she/her]
Basics
Name (& pronunciation): marcello eliás de rosa
spanish accent
maurr-say-oe elle-I-us de roe-sa

muted colors. lots of black, browns, tans, and a pop of olive green & navy blue.
Faceclaim: Lorenzo Zurzolo
Attributes
Personality/Attitude:
marcello is not necessarily an asshole, but do not expect much warmth from this guy. despite his bad temper and violent tendencies, most times he is rather reserved and distant. he is extremely apathetic and cautious, making it hard to relate or befriend others. not that he minds, marcello would absolutely prefer honing his own skill set than being a social butterfly. in marcello’s mind, the only matter of importance is his success. marcello would be damned if his work did not draw favorable acclaim and admiration.
however, he cherishes a select few that experience a gentler side. while he is not doting or particularly affectionate, marcello is patient and attentive. he is the first to notice a friend’s tone change or mood shift, and he is quick to attempt to resolve the problem. marcello, if anything, is a great fixer. his love for others is facilitated by studying and understanding them; his love is practical, consistent, and giving. in fact, one may even see the boy’s forbidden smile if they were friendly enough.
marcello has quite a wry sense of humor and a low threshold for obnoxiousness. he is a proud, stoic figure who is diligent in his goal of self-actualization. his discipline is his claim to fame, and marcello is willing to do nearly anything to ensure he comes out as the victor.
Background:

@luxoracademy @luxorstarters @luxorgossip
Dear Luxor,
I am writing to the current members of Luxor and to those who might be considering joining. I'm writing this because I have things to say, and I've been quiet for far too long. While the admins may write me off as a member burned, I hope at least one person can take me at face value, because I am here to tell my story.
I joined Luxor on May 17, 2020. However, it was not an easy process. The face claim I wanted to use was rejected as being "too old," despite that face claim having copious amounts of resources from when he was younger. At the time of my application, the rules regarding face claims were that they should have played a high school character before, which my desired face claim did. I had to fight to use the face for my character that I wanted to, and while I was successful, I was often scared to use resources that were in the time frame deemed acceptable by the admins, but that I was afraid they'd see as too "old". And this is a fear that I've kept until my last day as a member of this rp. I am still afraid that I may be issued warnings or other forms of cease and desists for using a resource for my character.
Despite the initial trouble, Luxor seemed like a great place. So many of the members I met when I joined were wonderful and welcoming except, funny enough, the admin team. The only thing I received from them upon joining was a link to the Luxor Discord server. They never introduced themselves, and only one of the admins included a very basic "welcome!" message upon my joining the server.
So while I was plotting with and getting to know the members, the admin team gave the air of being aloof and untouchable. Trying to reach out and plot with them, would result in a message or two every two weeks. And then nothing would ever come from it. I'd start threads and reply to threads with the admins, and they'd end within 4-5 replies if they ever got a reply at all. The rules of the role-play prohibit "bubble rp," but there's no one in more of a bubble than the admins.
Before this is written off as an unfounded claim, despite trying to plot with Admin Mimi for months, my first ever dash interaction with her was on October 21, 2020. That was more than five months after I joined the rp. So, for anyone considering joining and wondering about plotting with the admins, I'd suggest another rp, as these admins don't plot much outside their clique.
And yes, I called it a clique, because that's exactly what it is. Some people are in the "inner circle" and included in a private discord server with the admins, and surprise, those select people and the admins rarely plot outside themselves for anything. A thread started outside the clique, will more than likely be abandoned after one or two replies, if you see any replies at all.
Beyond their clique and bubble, the admins have a growing history with power trips. The first was on July 25, 2020, when the admins created a firm rule about the role-play's secret aspect. We were told that we were no longer allowed to speculate amongst ourselves. Honestly, that took a lot of the fun out of it. It was fun to speculate with others, see if they guessed our own characters' secrets or not. They created a rule; however, that stated that only two characters could know a secret of another character. Depending upon the secret, that is potentially impossible to maintain. But it limits characters from having ties to others in their past when the secret may have originated if two other characters already know the secret. The rule came out of nowhere and seemed very arbitrary. It was an unnecessary bid for power.
Then on October 7, 2020, the admin team decided to temporarily shut down the role-plays Discord server, under the guise of making the rp more inclusive. They asked for member feedback and thoughts and concerns. I, as well as others that I know of, gave them a list of concerns that we had. I can't speak for their concerns, but mine went largely ignored. I had issue with one of the members that were a part of the admins' clique, and the response was rather that they seemed untouchable, as if they couldn't possibly be making me feel like the rp was an unsafe environment. This was not the first time that I brought a concern that I had about this member to the admins, and it was the not the first time that they disregarded my concerns, as the things that bothered me weren't "against the rules."
Most recently, the admins created a new rule on December 15, 2020 about starters. The rule is unwieldy and dictates who a character can and cannot interact with. By forcing members to reply to three threads per character in order to do a single starter call, they remove the ability for some to role-play closed starters from more than just the few people they reach out to. I did bring this concern to the admins, and they all but wrote me off. Personally, I am a full-time student with a part-time job. I can barely maintain four threads per character. This new rule made it impossible for me to do a starter call in any capacity, severely limiting my ability to role-play as I have been doing for months now.
However, my issues aren't just from arbitrary and overly controlling rules. The admins have also accused me, personally, of things that I won't go into as they concern other people as well as my self. I received a warning for something they took on hearsay. It was reported to them by someone that had a falling out with myself, and the action itself supposedly occurred during a voice chat. Now, there is no way to prove a conversation over voice chat without a recording, but that's not the point. The point is that I was given a warning without the admins reaching out for my side of the story. They took the other person's word as fact, and didn't consider to hear both sides before issuing warnings. I wasn't the only to receive this treatment either, but that's not my story to tell.
On December 28, 2020, the admins began what is essentially a witch hunt. They received what they perceived as hate. In my opinion, what they received was simply a statement of an opinion of their members. However, they began this witch hunt, asking for members to accuse other members of sending these messages. This, like most witch hunts, ended with the accusation of someone innocent. This innocent is a dear friend of mine, and it hurt to see them hung out like a witch for the world to see with little to no proof. Seeing this, I know it's completely my time to leave. I cannot stay in a place that breeds hostility and threatens private conversations and feelings to be become public spectacle.
So now we're here. This is my official withdrawal from Luxor Academy. To potential new members, I hope at least some of my words prepare you for what kind of place this is. This all said, I want to be clear that it is not the whole admin team that are powerhungry. It is the two main admins, Nora and Mimi. I have had very little good experiences with them to share. To Yo, thank you for trying, and I appreciate you as the only sane admin on this rp. To my friends, I still consider you my friends. If you ever want to talk or even do a one on one role-play over Discord, you know where to reach me. Just because I'm dissatisfied with Luxor's management, does not mean I think less of my friends.
Further, upon completion of this letter, it has come to my attention that a member of this rp, someone I thought was my friend, or at least friendly, shared my personal medical information with the admins, without my knowledge or consent. This speculated information was taken as a screenshot and sent to multiple other members, something that caused me to have a panic attack. Having my information circulated like this is the very last straw. Luxor is an unsafe role-play environment, and anyone thinking to join, please think very carefully.
Sincerely,
A Former Member

Is that NATHANIEL SHAW? Wow, they do look a lot like FELIX MALLARD. I hear HE is a TWENTY year old SOPHOMORE who are studying ENGINEERING at Luxor University. Word is they are a SCHOLARSHIP student. You should watch out because they can be SHORT-TEMPERED and SARCASTIC, but on the bright side they can also be FUNNY and PASSIONATE. Ultimately, you’ll get to see it all for yourself.
ok so...........................this is nate i guess, idk:
from sag harbor, ny, aka the hamptons
bday is march 23, he’s a double aries with a pisces moon
however, thanks to his deadbeat australian father, and his mother attempting to make it work, the family moved to australia when nate was four, not returning until his mother told his father to go fuck himself for good (they had been off and on for awhile by that point anyways), when nate was thirteen
aka nate has felix’s real australian accent
so not fully local to the hamptons, but local enough i.e not well off and annoyed by all the rich folk that descend on the place every summer
worked as a pool boy and mowed lawns and shit during the summer once he moved back as a teen to make some extra cash, so rubbed shoulders with a lot of rich kids, which just made him more bitter about all of it
very good athlete - number one sport is rowing (ur welcome @urkingbby), but also is on the swim team and plays soccer (he’s a goalie bc that’s the only position i know)
athletic scholarship
very mr. cool, lackadaiscal, dry sense of humor and very deadpan most of the time, but if you actually talk to him he’s actually kinda a himbo
tries to act like he’s serious (think jess from gilmore girls) but isn’t actually all tat smart so just comes off brooding and weird (think riggins from fnl)
has daddy issues bc his dad is a deadbeat, as previously stated
gets into fights constantly bc he just likes to punch people when he gets mad u know
he is basically ryan atwood and i regret nothing
ummm yea i have planned nothing else so let’s see what happens lol
if anyone wants past connections, he came to luxor as a freshman in college, so has been here 2 full yrs and he’s ~not very smart~ so he’s probably in classes with freshman as it is still

helena 101
Is that HELENA SPENCER-MAY? Wow, they do look a lot like PHOEBE DYNEVOR. I hear SHE is an EIGHTEEN year old FRESHMAN who are studying HISTORY at Luxor University. Word is they are an ARISTOCRAT student. You should watch out because they can be CHILDISH and SNOBBISH, but on the bright side they can also be GENEROUS and CHARMING. Ultimately, you’ll get to see it all for yourself. [YUNI, 21, GMT, SHE/HER]
~ basics
full name: lara helena spencer-may
nicknames: she only ever goes by her middle name, helena. and she’ll probably glare at you a whole lot if you try to call her lara.
date of birth: august 12, 2002 - leo sun, leo ascendant, libra moon
place of birth: zurich, switzerland
sexual orientation: bisexual
college course: history
~ appearance
faceclaim: phoebe dynevor
height: 173cm / 5′8
weight: 56kg / 124lbs
eye colour: blue
hair colour: blonde ( naturally dirty blonde)
~ personality
positive traits: generous, charming, loyal, creative
negatve traits: childish, snobbish, insincere, judgemental
mbti: estp
description: helena has pretty much the emotional maturity of veruca salt. which is to say, she cares about one person in the world, and that is herself. she doesn’t make long term plans, instead pursuing short term happiness - which means that whatever she wants in that moment, she will go for. and if you stand between her and whatever she wants, no matter how dumb - whether it’s a bag or a college - she reacts dramatically. she’s not above throwing tantrums, literally stomping her feet and screaming, scratching, you name it, until she gets what she asked for. she once keyed an ex boyfriend’s car because he understandably refused to invite her to his sister’s wedding and helena had already picked out her (white) outfit. in addition to this, helena’s sheltered upbringing has made her extremely ignorant to the world as a whole. she fails to comprehend how anyone can not be rich, since it’s all she knows, and so she tends to assume that poor people are always lazy and unambitious. as a result, she refuses to associate herself with anyone who is a scholarship student or comes from a poor family, as she insists that mindset might be contagious and drag her down. her mood can switch very rapidly - one minute she is being sweet and charming to you, and the next minute she is screaming and crying. she’s also extremely adept at crocodile tears, which she uses on everyone she wants something from, seeing no problem with manipulating others if it gets her what she wants. she generally has a very superior outlook on herself as opposed to others, hence why she just assumes she’s going to inherit the may family’s company, over her cousins
~ past
biography: helena was born in zurich to a british mother, margaret spencer-may, and swiss father matteo may. the family name was originally manesse, but was changed before she was born, much to her chagrin because lord knows she wants to sound fancier. her father is on the board for the family’s pharmaceutical company, and her mother, british landed gentry, works for the british museum.
as her parents only child, helena was absolutely spoiled from the moment she was born and given anything she wanted, including her demand to be referred to by her middle name rather than her legal first name lara. to this day only her grandparents ever use her real name, and she still reminds them on a regular basis that she hates it.
despite her parents being adoring, they were also busy with their respective jobs and didn’t particularly have the time to care for her as a young child. so from the age of six helena attended ecole des roches, a prestigious boarding school in paris. she split her summers between visiting family in zurich and wherever she particularly wanted to go - england with her mother’s family, america with her cousins, or remaining in paris. she assumed that when it came to college she would also have the pick of wherever she wanted to go, but that didn’t end up quite the way she thought - her grandparents put their foot down and insisted that what was “best for helena” would be luxor university. and much to her disappointment, numerous tantrums did little to sway her family. so instead of going to the university of cambridge, which had been her desire, helena started her history degree at luxor.
she’s currently returning from a one month absence, otherwise known as “she decided she deserved a holiday for some stress relief” and has been in paris the whole time shopping and drinking cocktails.
(and if jack fucking fielding has started a rumour that she died, she swears she’ll cut his dick off.)

Hello everyone, we wanted to take a moment to update the members on a few things and keep you all in the light.
A MESSAGE FROM THE ADMINS
We wanted to address some points with nothing but honesty.
Point #1: Inclusiveness
The first thing we would like to address is the issue with admins and their inclusiveness. In the months leading up to the holidays, the admins have not interacted with as many people as they should have been. When we acknowledge that we haven’t had threads with as many people as we should, it isn’t for a lack of trying. Every one of the admins wants to participate like any other member and we do try to have threads with as many people as we can but with balancing our personal schedules, maintaining the main (which we are still never perfect with), answering questions, organizing the grand plot, and managing the rest of the behind the scenes for the RP, sometimes we do struggle to have as many threads as we would like and as many threads as we expect our members to have with one another.
When we started this RP, each one of the admins had more free time to spare on RP in general. Obviously, a lot occurs and changes in your personal lives over the course of a year and a half, and despite the fact that we do have more things to balance on top of running the RP, we still want to see the grand plot through, we still want to run this group for the members that have been developing their characters here for so long and while the number of threads we are able to maintain is affected, many of the other responsibilities we have are also affected. This includes being able to come online regularly. If we come online with the intention of doing replies, if there are questions or concerns that have been brought to our attention, if they are matters we can handle alone, we are usually prioritizing those over doing our replies. Although it may not always show on the dash, we do want to have threads with everyone, and every time we plot with people OOC, we have every intention of seeing that plot through on the dash.
We don’t want to use our busyness as an excuse to not engage with everyone, but we do want to be transparent in saying that sometimes, us trying our best to maintain everything: not neglect our personal lives and have threads with everyone, is a lot, and it doesn’t always allow us to have threads with everyone that we would like to. We claim full responsibility for not reaching out to our members and plotting with them as much as we should have, and we take responsibility for not having threads with as many people as we should, and if the admins have made you feel excluded IC or OOC, we are truly sorry for that and it is never our intention. With that being said, we will be making a conscious effort to reach out more to our members for plotting purposes and threading purposes as well. Please understand that if we can’t be on to reply regularly or if we can’t get our plots on the dash quickly, etc. that we are trying our best.
Point #2: Our Top Priority
We have put so much work into the RP and we want to keep running it for as long as we can. A great deal of time, thought and effort goes into the overall plot of the RP. We sit down as a group and plan out the progression of the story months before you guys see any of it, to make sure it all makes sense and goes smoothly. Everything that happens during a plot drop — be it big or small — is deliberate and serves a purpose that a lot of thought goes into. This includes the secret reveals along with everything else. There’s a lot of care behind the scenes to make the plot as interesting and interactive as we can make it. For a year and a half, the admins have scheduled time to be online all together to work on these things. We put so much care into it, and because of the effort and time that we actively put into it, because it is challenging and even stressful at times, even just to keep it up and running on a base level, we would never intentionally exclude anyone from this group, whether IC or OOC. We care so much about the health of this RP because we want it to last.
We would never intentionally upset any of our members. When resolving OOC matters, our number one concern is resolving whatever has arisen for the betterment of the RP. The admins are a team of three separate people. That allows us to communicate from three different perspectives and consider multiple angles before making a decision. When dealing with members or situations where someone has broken the rules, our number one priority is to resolve whatever has occurred. As we have mentioned in a previous post, of course, we are people with feelings and sometimes we are frustrated and stressed as we are sure many of you have been frustrated and stressed with RP matters before. But we want to make it clear that any negative feelings we may have never take priority over the health of the RP. We set those feelings aside when speaking with you and when resolving issues. Simply put, we care more about the wellbeing of this RP than whatever negative feelings arise in the process of running it because we put so much work into it. We want it to last, and above just generally sticking around the main to answer questions, accept apps and update the pages, we have to approach everything in a solution oriented way.
Point #3: Warnings and Strikes
The third thing we would like to address is our method of issuing warnings or strikes. When it is clear to us that one of our members has blatantly broken a rule, we issue a warning or strike right away, depending on how serious the rule break is. Otherwise, we usually open a door for discussions when we happen to give out warnings or strikes to hear out the other side. If there doesn’t seem to be a reason why the other side acted the way they did, then we issue the warning or strike as we see fit. We have reached out to multiple members in the same manner when an OOC problem occurs and we always have discussions with them about the event that occurred. It is always our mission to handle things delicately with care to ensure that things don’t blow out of proportion when issues arise.
It is always very discouraging to see the very thing you have put your heart in receiving such a treatment. We do firmly believe, as stated multiple times by the admins, that if someone is unhappy with how we handle things to the point of sending us rude anons, being unhappy in the group, or starting OOC drama as a result, then we prefer for these members to leave our group. We believe that this is beneficial for both the member as well as the RP as a whole. RPing is meant to be a fun activity, if it becomes something that has a negative effect on an individual, then the best course of action is to leave the group instead of remaining unhappy. We try our best to make sure that our members are heard, but if the issue is with the plot or with how the admins choose to run the RP, then maybe it’s not a good match.
OUR NEXT STEPS
After days of contemplating what our next step should be with the RP, the admins believe that moving the RP to Discord and having it be a closed RP is the best choice for us. If you are interested in remaining in the RP, please send us a message BY MONDAY to let us know so we can include you in our future plans. We will be explaining the process of how Discord RP works to our members to help with the smooth transition. If there are any concerns regarding this, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the admins.
We will be following up again after the weekend once we have a clear timeline of when things get back into motion again. We thank our members who have stuck around and we hope things can get back to normal soon. We also want to thank all of you for your patience. We greatly appreciate it.
NOTE: We are aware that some of our members don’t like the way live events are conducted, but we wanted to say that Discord RPing is not the same format as live events. In Discord RPing, each member will have their own category where they can have regular threads, much like how it’s done on a tumblr dash. The format of this can be seen below:

Dear Luxor, @luxoracademy @luxorstarters @luxorgossip
This is a letter for anyone in Luxor and anyone thinking of joining. I’m sure there will be some sort of letter from the Admins saying this isn’t true and I am just a disgruntled member. But, I am a disgruntled member and the Admins are why I am disgruntled. I joined Luxor June 1st of 2020 and it was an amazing experience at first but I soon realized there were many problems.
The first problem with Luxor is one they have suffered from before and supposedly “fixed” which in reality they hadn’t. This RP suffers from cliques and it stems from the Admins. The Admins generally “pick” who they enjoy and only seem to talk to those specific people and even create separate chats with those people. I have tried to rp with the admins and none of them have seemed to care enough to continue threads or interact with members unless it’s those they like the best of all of the members.
I’ll be the first to admit the first time I cried and had a panic attack about this RP was my own fault. I didn’t realize I would be triggered and when it came up the Admin I contacted was helpful even though I was drunk at the time. This was June 2nd.
In the first weeks, June 14th, I was at Luxor the Admins gave me a “warning” because another person in the Rp complained about me to the Admins and they took that person’s word over my own. In fact the Admins didn’t even ask for my opinion on the matter or for my side of the story. The following of this paragraph will be explaining what happened in my own words. This problem started without my knowing and I was not a part of the RPG. People that I knew who were a part of Luxor were talking about a specific person because they didn’t understand a character. The person who had been there the longest had a falling out with myself and a few others and decided to blame us for their own words and judgment. This was the moment I knew something was wrong with this RP and I had a panic attack because of all of this. This was June 12th.
The next few weeks would be filled with problems of trying to RP with specific people and realizing only so many of this RP actually were okay with interacting with newbies. I thought this would go away in time but it did not. Still I held out because the people I had met were wonderful and brilliant people and despite the RP’s problems I like the friends I had made along the way. I did notice early on that some people didn’t have to follow the rules to the precise letter and others did. I summed this up to those people being new and the others weren’t. The Admins especially do not want to interact with new people and expect those new people to follow their rules while the Admins themselves do not have to follow the rules.
A few months later, October 2nd, the Admins would try to solve problems by asking for their members' concerns. I gave mine and the Admins generally told me no and dismissed my concerns, and comments. One of these problems is the fact that their own banner is one of their FCs. If that doesn’t say this is the main character of an RP I’m not sure what does. Customarily, I am used to no FCs being used on any banner, header, or icon. Luxor does not follow this unspoken rule.
On December 28th a discord event happened. The Admins dropped one secret and that frustrated some people. Because of this Anons were sent to the main and the admins got upset. Specifically Nora. The last time secrets were released, 10 secrets were released and I like others expected this secret drop to be the same amount. I am not going to apologize for any of the messages, in frustration people do dumb things and it is something people have to deal with. Because of these messages Luxor was completely shut down and the Admins expected those who had sent the anons to come forward. Thus was the start of a witch hunt.
It took two days for the Admins to “find someone” and blame them for the messages. To this person I owe you the biggest apology. You were given the harshest punishment for being upset and I know that never feels good. I also owe someone else an apology, to you my friend I am so sorry. I never want you to feel the way I made you feel, you have amazing characters and you are someone I trust and I broke that. I hope someday you can trust me again, you and the person who was blamed are the victims here and I am so sorry. I never meant for anyone to get hurt.
Since June 1st I have had multiple panic attacks and moments when I have been in tears frustrated over Luxor’s Admins. The people I have met in Luxor have been amazing most of the time but those who ended up close to the Admins and icing the rest of the RP have been the reason why I am writing this letter. To those who did not see this coming and I consider my friends I am sorry this seems sudden but my health is more important than the people who’ve given me multiple panic attacks. For my friends always feel you can reach out to me on Discord, I do still want to be your friend and wish you the best.
Sincerely,
Three Characters, and a disgruntled Mun.

Attributes
Personality/Attitude:
choosing to live amongst the clouds, rhiannon coasts on her natural charisma and easygoing nature. she is a fun-loving, thrill-seeking type that strongly values her independence. she has deeply instilled morals which she abides by, although her beliefs are considered quite radical. rhiannon is an active pacifist, practicing vegetarian, and meditation guru. while she may seem unbothered on the surface, rhia struggles to find adequate balance in her life. when it comes to what she’s interested in, she may become obsessive and overly idealistic. she suffers from issues with codependency, often tying her self worth too heavily into the opinions of those she values. rhiannon has passion and a magnanimous vision for her projects, but she lacks the discipline and confidence to follow through with her plans. often times, her crippling periods of self doubt are cast off as her peaceful demeanor. she is inauthentic, hiding imperfect sides of herself to appeal to whomever she is attempting to impress. however, her imagination and spontaneity are cornerstones for her character.
Background:
her parents are brazillian hippies who emigrated to the united states after the conflict with the contras had been settled.
she was an accident, but they decided to keep her. they never planned to have kids, so she was the first and last of their children.
for most of her childhood, they jumped from trailer park to trailer park.
rhia was kind of a terrible student, just generally disinterested and distracted
one of her teachers recommended other teaching methods, and began giving rhia resources to free music education/instrument rentals
her uncle gifted her her first violin when she was eight years old.
her parents have a permissive parenting style, often neglecting to check up on their daughter or reprimand her
she spent most of her freetime hanging out with older kids, pretending she was tougher and more experienced than she was.

they quickly broke up over creative differences (and the lead guitarist had banged the drummer’s girlfriend) but her love for music continued on

fun facts //
♡ Ches is a former Carnifex student who came over to Luxor during the merge. You can see everything that she’s been up to during her time in the rp on her timeline page.
♡ Ches has a twin brother named Jonah who isn’t at Luxor.
♡ The Elswoods are rich. Top 25 Forbes list, 50+ Billion Networth levels of rich. In turn Ches really doesn’t think that much about money, and how much it actually means to other people.
♡ Valedictorian of Luxor Academy’s 2020 Class, she turned down Columbia’s English program to attend Luxor University.
♡ She doesn’t use her first name, ever. She doesn’t like it, and there’s a fairly high chance of her just not acknowledging you if you call her Hailey.
♡ She’s a bit of a closet nerd - if you look under her bed she has a chest of comic books, although she has NO idea how they got there if you ask her. Do not question the R2-D2 shaped thing covered by a tarp in her closet. She also doesn’t know where that came from.
♡ Extremely restless, if you want her to sit still during a movie you better give her something to do simultaneously.
♡ Her purse is kinda like Mary Poppins bag, odds are she has what you’re looking for in it. She almost always has her multi-tool on her. She also tends to carry around a single shot nerf gun, don’t ask.
♡ She got her first tattoo while she was away from school, using a forged note of parental consent in New Jersey. (The not fragile one, the arrow was added later).
♡ She has way too many siblings, you can learn about them on her family page. (She has one more not listed, a still born half brother named Julien she learned about via her mother’s diaries. The rest of the children (excluding Emmett) are unaware.)
♡ Loves animals, a lot, sometimes to a reckless extent. She would try to feed piranhas, she does try to climb into enclosures with venomous snakes. She would steal a dog (as would her twin brother, so apparently they have more in common than they realize).
♡ If Ches makes a threat, take it with a grain of salt. Yes, she owns a blowtorch, no she won’t set you on fire even if she lights it in your direction. Your muse might not always know that - depending on how much time they’ve spent with her, but ooc just remember her bark is way worse than her bite.
♡ Ches has a Porsche that she got from her father for graduating at the top of her class. Although it’s currently not travelling with her because the cost of shipping a car is insane. Anytime she’s in Lake George though, this is her baby. (She also owns a Mercedes, which was her first car).
♡ I’m always willing to discuss my muses, so feel free to hit me up if you have any questions at any point.
a tl;dr history //
♡ Ches’s mother was murdered on her 8th birthday in front of her
♡ She was raised by her oldest brother, Logan, and is NOT close to her father really. She also helped raise her younger sisters and is very protective of them.
♡ The Elswood she is closest to is Emmett. He’s a big part of why she’s even here, as she’d followed him to Carnifex.
♡ Her first real love was James (an npc). They dated Freshman-Sophomore years. It wasn’t a healthy relationship, and it started Ches’s messy af relationship and fwbs pattern as she didn’t want to go through that again.
♡ Ches left Luxor in October of 2019 because her oldest brother (Logan), overdosed. He’s alive and doing well now, but she stayed in NYC until March 2020 in order to take care of things here.
♡ I strongly recommend skimming Ches’s timeline page before interacting with her. These are just the bare minimum basics, and there’s more things your muse may know on there.
wanted connections //
♡ Exes (when Ches dates it’s not for long, but she’s definitely the type to be like “I’ll go out with you” if asked and then... dump you if she thinks she’s getting too attached. So her exes are either on good terms, neutral terms, or they probably dislike her a lot)
♡ Former friends with benefits (while Ches is no longer taking on new ones because of Elliot, I’m always willing to headcanon past things!)
♡ Friends (I am weak af for a good friendship plot, never be afraid to be like “hey can our muses be friends” the answer is legit always yes)
♡ Enemies (Ches can... be a lot so it’s not unlikely she’s pissed people off ok)
♡ NA Sponsor (I think it'd be beneficial for Ches to have a sponsor, someone she respects and trusts but not someone with a close emotional attachment. I'd prefer if the muse has been sober for two+ years, but we can probably find a middle ground.)
♡ Ex Friends (People used to be friends with but no longer is on good terms with, either as an aftermath of her addiction, the aftermath of her recovery when that starts, them just growing apart, etc etc)

updated intro / jack 101
Is that JACK KELLY? Wow, they do look a lot like VAN MCCANN. I hear HE is an NINETEEN year old FRESHMEN who are studying AEROSPACE ENGINEERING at Luxor University. Word is they are an ARISTOCRAT student. You should watch out because they can be PHILOPHOBIC and INSINCERE, but on the bright side they can also be WITTY and IMAGINATIVE. Ultimately, you’ll get to see it all for yourself. [YUNI, 21, GMT, SHE/HER]

basics
full name: jackson noel kelly
nicknames: jack (does not answer to jackson)
date of birth: december 25, 2001
zodiac: capricorn sun, leo ascendant, sagittarius moon
nationality: dual uk and us citizenship
sexual orientation: straight but will try anything once
course: aerospace engineering
appearance
faceclaim: van mccann

eye colour: blue
hair colour: brown
distinctive features: freckles (many), left ear pierced, scars on his wrists usually covered by long sleeves, northern english accent
clothing preferences: jack prefers to only wear black, or at a push grey, although he’s slowly improving and will Occasionally mix it up with ... navy. his style is pretty basic, usually just a sweater, jeans, and beat up black converse or doc martens depending on how emo he’s feeling. the sheffield united hoodie makes an appearance every time someone forgets precisely which uk city jack is from.
personality
overview
positive traits: witty, imaginative, perseverant, passionate
negative traits: philophobic, disloyal, insincere, callous
mbti: entp
religious beliefs: atheist
description
the first side most people see of jack is the side he wants you to see. a total asshole. it’s not an exaggeration - he’s pretty much infamous for flirting with everyone, dating anyone and as a serial cheater. he’ll actively try to worm his way into your life, and then just when you start to care, he does something to hurt you. he’s strangely persistent, probably helping him to push people even further, until they snap. there is nothing which satisfies him more than managing to wind people up to the extreme, get them to the point where they give up. adopted parents, friends, nobody is immune to this side - he even tries it on the people he genuinely cares about, as if just to see if he’ll still be able to push them away.
the second side, which most people don’t see, is that at heart jack is a kid. he’s the type of person to ask if owls have ears at 3am, or get some childlike joy out of dumb jokes. of course, this is the side nobody but a very small number of people see. and even if you do see it, it never lasts long. he keeps his true personality under wraps even amongst those he does like, and it only slips out if he’s extremely comfortable with you. otherwise, he’ll go straight back to being a sarcastic, flirty piece of shit.
biography
jackson noel kelly was born in hell on ironically christmas day to his father satan......
jk
jack and his older half brother finn were born in sheffield, united kingdom, to a single mother. a drug addict, she was notorious among social workers for neglecting her children and as a result jack shuffled between foster homes and his mother’s home during his first ten years of life, with finn, less than four years older than him, being his primary carer even when he was back with his birth family. this cycle finally ended when jack was ten and he was permanently removed from his mother’s care, and placed in the first of a series of foster homes which didn’t last particularly long.
the thing was, jack’s remarkably good at pushing people away when he wants to, and as he got older his talents only increased. running away, wreaking havoc, insulting anyone who tried to get close and anything else he could possibly think of meant that for three years he lasted no longer than eight months in any one place. in fact, he frequently took himself back to live with his birth family until social services came to drag him out again. this lifestyle continued until he was fostered by his now adopted parents, claire and george, at thirteen.
much to jack’s dismay, no matter of hell raising would push these newest set of parents away. in fact, they seemed absolutely set on raising him as Their Son, even as his attempts to get them off his back got more and more extravagant. they removed him from his previous school, transferred him to a fancy private school, put him in therapy and tried their best to help him get through all of the issues developed through his slightly fucked up childhood.
the thing was, jack loves his mother. he still refuses to see her as being in the wrong, no matter what people tell him or what he himself recalls, in his mind he has one mother and that’s his birth mother. so he did not take kindly to attempts by his foster parents to become his “new” family, because in jack’s mind? he already had a family. and even though they were actively encouraging him to continue contact with his brother, he couldn’t help but see them as trying to replace his birth family.
jack’s fifteenth year pretty much became the year when all of these issues finally came to a head. he was adopted legally by his foster parents, who had now been fostering him for two years - which should have been a happy occasion, but for jack represented the final loss, the final betrayal to his birth mother and brother. then shortly after his fifteenth birthday his brother went to prison at eighteen for grievous bodily harm, having glassed another boy after an argument.
of course, it would later be revealed that in actuality the assault had been committed by jack. and that finn was simply covering for him. (they looked alike enough that questions were not raised, it had happened so fast.) but in the eyes of jack’s adopted parents, finn was now a dangerous offender and jack had to be protected from him. so he was then isolated from his brother, his mother had relapsed and his continuous guilt over being adopted played on his mind, culminating in a suicide attempt in march 2017.
of course, he wasn’t successful, but this was the final straw in the minds of his adopted parents. they felt jack needed a fresh start, away from the people who had defined his life prior to that point. so by his sixteenth birthday, jack had been moved to the united states to be near the family of his adopted mother, and subsequently enrolled in luxor academy.
where he continued to be a menace :))
although it did appear, for some time, that jack was showing signs of improvement. sure, he was still wreaking havoc at luxor. but at home, he had calmed, even showing signs of affection to his adopted family. until his mother overdosed suddenly and died when jack was eighteen and things started to immediately go straight downhill again.
he can’t help but blame himself, for allowing himself to be moved. for the move being his fault, if he’s being honest. and if the honesty continues, jack’s got a whole lot of other stuff to blame on himself. (see: ruining his brother’s life.) so now he’s just taking shit out on everyone to try and make them a fraction as miserable as him.

finley, who also refuses to use his full name, is jack’s older brother - same mother, different father. jack thinks he’s boring because he doesn’t raise hell with every opportunity. finn calls this “being a sane person.” went to prison for jack and regrets it. pastimes include crying over murakami books and trying to look shocked when jack tells him about the newest crisis he’s having.

jack’s birth mother, who was still a teenager when he and finn were born. she was an on again, off again drug addict and had jack removed from her care when he was ten due to continued neglect. instilled in him a love for oasis and a hefty number of mental health issues. looked pretty much exactly like jack.
jordan taylor / fc: alex turner / b. october 12 1984 / libra sun, leo ascendant, virgo moon
jack’s birth father, who he knows little about. not for lack of trying on his father’s part, who was prevented from seeing jack as a child by his birth mother and blocked from trying to make contact by jack’s refusal to interact. he keeps trying to message jack and jack is running out of daddy issues memes to respond with. finn thinks jack should give him a chance to redeem himself. jack thinks finn should fuck off.
adopted fam
claire fielding / fc: julia roberts / b. may 12 1964 / taurus sun, cancer ascendant, leo moon
jack’s adopted mother. loves him very much and is convinced he is a sweet boy who just needs love and help. has written a memoir about adopting jack. jack is mad at her constantly. when he is not mad at her, he is embarrassed by her existence. honestly deserves better.
george fielding / fc: timothy olyphant / b. november 6, 1963 / scorpio sun, capricorn ascendant, virgo moon
is proud of jack, but very deep down underneath a strong layer of calling jack out on his bullshit. has some loud ass shouting matches with jack. also really wishes jack would sort his hair out and maybe not look like a cheap liam gallagher. jack honestly just winds him up constantly and he knows jack is doing it but goddamnit it’s so hard to not be mad at the little rat.
other
maisie adeyemi / fc: yewande biala / b. january 6, 1997 / capricorn sun, sagittarius ascendant, aries moon
finn’s fiancee. her goal in life is to try to get jack to ruin finn’s life at least 70% less often. she has yet to achieve this goal. her love language is setting finn’s phone to silent when he goes to bed to stop jack from phoning in with some sort of random crisis at four in the morning because the little shit forgot timezones exist. finn will never find out. maisie is grateful that men have no brains.

○ She can touch her nose with her tongue

○ Animal: Cats

fun facts //
○ Balo has been attending Luxor since her Freshman year.
○ Balo’s kind of a literal ray of sunshine who believes (almost) everyone is truly good at heart.
○ Very easy to manipulate, please manipulate her. I’ll literally give you my firstborn.
○ Usually you’ll see her running around with a smile trying to brighten everyone’s day. She tries to put everyone’s happiness before herself, however, she’s slowly getting better about forming boundaries.
○ While it’d be easy to assume Balo’s dumb, that’s not quite the case. She only remembers the information she wants to. The issue is... most of the information she wants to learn is relatively useless. Want to know how to sew sutures? She’s your girl. Want to know the definition of cannibalism? Well, ask Jack how that goes.
○ She has two teddy bears and an American Girl doll living on her dresser. Duffy, Shelley-Mae, and Robin Banks. They’re decorative, but they make her happy.
○ One of her best friends is Logan Keller, the boy who went missing during the summer camping trip. The two are still in touch, and extremely close, so occasionally he gets mentioned here and there, but it’s still a sore spot for her (I am still in touch with the person who played him, so I run stuff by his mun when / if he comes up).
○ Jack’s adoptive parents recently adopted her, although she hasn’t said a lot about it. Your muse probably won’t know unless one of the two directly told them (or they heard it from Zander). It’s not a secret, she just didn’t make an announcement or anything.
○ In October 2019, Zander had an intervention for her to force her to get help for her eating disorder. She was in inpatient until April 2020, when she returned to Luxor.
○ Cheer and Gymnastics team member from Freshmen year until her intervention, and she returned to both teams this fall with the new school year.
○ Balo’s left handed (the only one of my muses that is a lefty)!
○ I’m aware Balo’s family page can be complicated, please feel free to dm me with questions. Also, please remember Balo doesn’t know she’s Daniel’s daughter, let alone the fact there’s even a chance Lance isn’t her father, which means your muse has absolutely no way of knowing this.
○ Befriended a stray racoon on the Lake George campus she named Reese Withercoon.
○ Literally only just said her first swear word this June, we’re very proud of her for finally getting that done. (#ThanksAxelAndLeo)
○ Balo finds the Winnie the Pooh theme song extremely soothing, which resulted in her naming a certain group chat with a set of friends the 100 Acre Woods - because she finds spending time with them soothing too.
○ I’m always willing to discuss my muses, so feel free to hit me up if you have any questions at any point.
a tl;dr history //
○ Balo’s home life growing up was far from perfect. Her father, Lance - is an abusive alcoholic, and while her mother tried her best to protect her children - she also covered things up without hesitation because she loves her husband. It wasn’t uncommon to see a Driskell in the ER with a lie and people willing to back up the story.
○ Balo was conceived during the time Lance and Cassandra were seperated the only time that her mother tried to leave. She’s completely unaware that she’s not Lance’s biological daughter (as is everyone else).
○ She’s been attending Luxor since freshman year, although she had to leave in the middle of her Junior year had to leave for a few months to attend extensive inpatient treatment. She came back in April, although she could not rejoin the cheerleading and gymnastic teams until her therapist confirmed she was doing well (so the start of her senior year) because of concerns about her well-being.
○ She was disowned following her HIV diagnosis over the fall. Over the winter, the Fieldings adopted Balo.
○ I strongly recommend skimming Balo’s timeline page before interacting with her. These are just the bare minimum basics, and there're more things your muse may know on there.
wanted connections //
○ Friendships
○ Someone to manipulate her, please I beg you
○ Anyone who knows her from the gymnastics and/or cheer teams, or the art club

Major:
○ Aerospace Engineering
Clubs and Activities:

○ National Honor Society
fun facts //
○ Luxor Academy Alumni, he attended the high school from Freshmen year until graduation.
○ Zander really doesn’t trust easily, and he constantly is questioning people’s motives, he doesn’t think most people do things for him without wanting something in return.
○ That doesn’t mean he doesn’t care about people however, he does feel empathy for others and it’s very possible for him to care about someone and not trust him. (Example: he can think of you as a friend but still be wary about your motives).
○ He doesn’t really like discussing his feelings, he expresses them; he feels them, but he doesn’t want to talk about them. He has to really trust you if he’s willing to actually tell you how he’s feeling when he’s upset/hurt instead of lashing out.
○ His sisters are very important to him, he’s in constant contact with Grace (just like Balo - is) and he tries to monitor Balo when he can, intervening in ways she won’t find out about if he feels like he needs to. His parents? Not so much. As for William? It’s complicated. (Family page here for more info on the Driskells)
○ He likes his motorcycle more than you, I’m sorry but it’s true.
○ Zander’s always willing to tutor if he knows a subject and you have a way of paying him. Something needs to pay for that motorcycle.
○ Extremely into space, he loves it even more than he loves his motorcycle and coffee. He’s always dreamed of creating spaceships and satellites, and his dream job is astronautical engineering (a subfield of aerospace, which he’s majoring in)
○ A few centimeters shorter than Balo much to his chagrin.
○ He may or may not get offended every time someone reminds him he’s not actually related to Lucy.
○ Loathes the word sorry even more than he wants to fight Jack.
○ Don’t ask Zander for his opinion unless you want it unfiltered. He will tell you to your face he hates everything about you if you give the platform to, and he doesn’t care if it’s offensive. Because as he sees it, you shouldn’t have asked a question you didn’t want the answer to.
○ The #1 LEGO stan at Luxor. Who needs therapy when you have plastic bricks?
○ I’m always willing to discuss my muses, so feel free to hit me up if you have any questions at any point.
a tl;dr history //
○ The Driskells come from an extremely abusive household. Their father is an alcoholic, and their mother tends to work the hours he’s home, leaving the children to fend for themselves. In turn, Zander resents both his parents
○ Zander has always felt like it was his job to take care of his younger sister, Balo, even since they were children. If she needed anything, if their father was going after her, etc etc, he was the one to step in to do what was best for her. This is a habit he still hasn’t broken.
○ This job became easier when their older brother, William, was adopted. Even if the boy was adopted to better appearances after Balo almost caused a social service investigation.
○ Zander is very antisocial and for his first year at Luxor, he mostly only talked to the baseball team and the book club. This eased slightly after Balo also came to Luxor, although he’s still not really one for socialization.
○ When he was home during summer break after his sophomore year, his father stabbed him. This caused some serious damage to his deltoid and the long head of his left bicep that needed surgical repair. After the surgery, however, he thankfully made a full recovery.
○ Zander has been at Luxor since he started high school, other than an occasional school break and having to go home during the summer of 2019.
○ I strongly recommend skimming Zander’s timeline page before interacting with him. These are just the bare minimum basics, and there're more things your muse may know on there.
wanted connections //
○ Enemies, because Zander really needs more people who can’t stand his shit
○ People that Zander tutors
○ People from the baseball team or bookclub
○ People who hire Zander for his photography
○ Photography Friends

Is that HUNTER ROCKWELL? Wow, they do look a lot like AUSTIN BUTLER. I hear HE is a TWENTY year old SOPHOMORE who are studying PRE-MED at Luxor University. Word is they are an ARISTOCRAT student who is FOR The Unhinged. You should watch out because they can be SARCASTIC and FLIRTATIOUS, but on the bright side they can also be LOYAL and OUTGOING. Ultimately, you’ll get to see it all for yourself. [BIA, 25, GMT-3, SHE/HER]
Full name: Hunter James Rockwell
Gender: Male
Pronouns: He/him
Age: Twenty
Zodiac: Leo
Birthplace: New York City
Program: Pre-med
Extracurriculars: Soccer (goal keeper)
Bio: Hunter comes from a wealthy and well-known family in New York. Born and raised in the Upper East Side, he’s the oldest son of Amelia and Richard Rockwell. His mother is the celebrities’ famous plastic surgeon and his father owns a building architecture enterprise, responsible for some of the most expensive residential buildings in New York. Growing up he was always running wild through the family’s property with his friends and cousins, climbing trees in the parks, pulling pranks on everyone, a “misbehaved” boy in his parents’ point of view. Because they did not approve of the boy’s behavior, they sent him to an intern school for boys, only coming home to see his parents and little sister during summer and the holidays, or important events, until a year later when he was expelled for misbehavior.
He attended Carnifex before the school merged with Luxor Academy, where he graduated from high school and now attends their college program. Although Hunter was never a straight A’s student, but also not the worst, Amelia managed to make Luxor accept him as a pre-med school, her son had two options: either be a surgeon like her or a CEO of the family business. Because he absolutely hated business, even though he loved his father and looked up for the man he was, and didn’t have a choice to study what he truly wanted, he is now a pre-med student.
Although he enjoyed living away from his family, he missed having them around sometimes, especially Quinn and his father. Hunter shared a special bond with his younger sister, he loved her with all his heart and would be capable of anything for her, and so he would for Richard. His relationship with Amelia on the other hand was bittersweet, but Hunter loved her too.
Secret reveal: Hunter Rockwell is the bastard child of Amelia Rockwell and not Richard Rockwell, but his brother.
