Would Yahya Abdul-Mateen II work for Orson?

Yes, I think he would work very well for Orson.

would can yaman work for rafiq sylver? he is turkish like berk cankat but closer to the age of the character (29)

Hi! Yes, I think Can would work really well for Rafi! His resources are excellent too. Nice pick! Just be sure to note that Rafi’s application will have to be altered to omit references to the Middle East. Similarly, Rafi’s name is explicitly Egyptian, so you will have to account for that in some way too.

hi, I was wondering, is Imogene open? her bio says open but she's tagged taken.

Hi! No, she’s not open. That was an oversight on our part, I’ll fix it right away. Thanks for letting me know!

i didn't find the answer in the rules page so i wanted to ask are we allowed second characters and if so how long do we have to wait to apply for a second character?

Hi! Yes, you’re allowed second characters. We don’t have a set period of time to wait, we’ll go about it on a case by case basis. However, current members (that have been active until now) are welcome to apply for second characters right now!

Listen. Hugo is Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad. I don’t make the rules.

hi! im interested in daisy but not sure about evan. do you have any alts? thanks!

Hello! Sure. While we’re really attached to Evan, I think Carey Mulligan, Gemma Arterton, Elizabeth Debicki, or Elizabeth Olsen could work for them.

Edit: Brie Larson could also work! Or Alexandra Breckenridge!Another edit: Clemence Poesy!

Hey, loser! It’s me, obviously. Theeee Hugo Buchanon. Listen. I won’t beat around the bush. We alllll know what month it is. Twelve years and five days. Can you fucking believe it? Every year and it feels like... Anyway. So, not going to lie, dog, I figured someone would have called by now. It’s kinda messed up, right, that I have to organise something for my own fucking brother? But hey, it’s all good! I’m just joking. No hard feelings. This Saturday. That’s the -- shit, where’s -- that’s the fifteenth. I’m thinkin’, like, eight thirty, nine? Whatever, just turn up. Oh, shit, and it’s at The Limelight! I wanted the Playboy Club, you know, like, in Joel’s honor, but they’re booked out. Fully lame, right? So, see you. Or else! Cool. Bye.

Yes, we have one right here!

would gulcan arslan or fahriye evcen work for etta? they're both jewish. i don't know if you'd only accept black fcs as replacement or other ethnicities so i figured i'd ask.

Sorry, we’re only accepting other black women as replacements for Etta.

Apologies if this has been asked before, but are apps accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis? Or can someone send in an application for a character that's already received an app, pending review in the inbox?

Hi! This hasn’t been asked before, so don’t worry. Apps are not first-come, first-serve. Since this is a bio rp, you’re more than welcome to apply for a character, even if someone else has already applied for them.

how canon are the established relationships in the skeletons?

Do you have a specific connection in mind? All of the relationships are considered “canon” and should be written as such in the group. How they develop is up to you, but if a character is stated to, say, be in a relationship with another, that must remain the same.

Do you have any alternative FCs for Rafi? Thanks!

Honestly, not really! Rafi is one of the trickier characters to cast. His FC must be Egyptian or Middle Eastern at the least. I could see Gregg Chillin or Berk Cankat working.

i'd be interested to know your inspirations for etta too. any characters in media or litterature that inspired you when writing her bio.

Etta is hard, because a lot of her character just came from my head. I think maybe Audrey Hepburn or even Jordan Baker from The Great Gatsby.

Of course! I am so glad that helped. If you want to talk off anon, just shoot me a message @quinsrose! Definitely take your time, there’s no rush. I really hope we get to write together. And thank you for reading everything and for being so involved and open-minded, that’s amazing. Good luck!!!
