( kristen stewart, twenty-seven, cisfemale ) by chance have you met TAYLOR FLEMING yet? i hear SHE has lived in CAPITOL HILL for THREE YEARS and works as a WRITER. i’m surprised you haven’t met them yet but for when you do, i hear they can be quite CALLOW but also BEGUILING. for whatever reason they remind me of OLD FLANNEL T-SHIRTS, WORN DOWN CHUCK TAYLORS & WEARING SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT.
folks!! *claps hands* i’m ron & i’m very glad to be here w all of u cool ppl. i’m 23, pronouns she/her & i live in the gmt -3 timezone. anyways, now that all that info is outta the way, i should probably tell y’all i’m a messy person who loves messy plots so yk, any plot??? we love that, we’ll stan it, we’ll spice it up. the Flavor, yk?? so okay, let me not ramble anymore and start talking abt taylor god why do i talk so much
first of all i just wanna say taylor is the human form of this vine and also her personality is just the real bros of simi valley although??? she was born and raised in new york but who the fuck knows ya know
there’s nothing particularly strange to taylor’s story, no batman-esque Origin, no tragedy other than being completely ordinary and feeling frustrated because yk, milennials rlly b out here thinking they are special
she has an older and a younger brother, which is why she’s not really a girly girl and learned how to throw a nice uppercut really early in life so her brothers would leave her the fuck alone
during high school she was def “not one of those girls” which quickly subsided into oh fuck i’m not one of those girls cause i’m fucking in love with those girls. or any girl. she’s fucking gay :/
that whole panic lasted a few days until she decided to come out and wow big fucking shocker her whole family was already sus so it was like, not a big deal? like ofc her dad took a while getting used to it but by now they are all settled n ready to go. and her mom confided in her that she had previously experimented w women which is not something sixteen year old taylor wanted to know but guess what??? she did anyways
definitely one of those moody teens who were like no one Understands my teenage angst and spent days shackled up in her room watching old movies and feeling so unique and special writing her poems and drawing on her sneakers and listening to all time low ya know
she also really liked skating and like, experimenting with drugs which is not something she does anymore but she really made a lot of dumb choices when she was a teen. not anymore though, she will indulge in the occasional mary jane, howmstever
due to believing she looked like a fucking alien during high school (which we know its not true), she developed a personality that’s very charming and agreeable with people because it was the only way she could approach girls
anyways, she eventually grew out of all that bUT the writing and refined her personality a little. she’s less of an obnoxious person and more of a dry humor but still v approachable kinda gal. she has only written one book so far and it’s surprisingly doing well?? though she def has room to improve
she went to nyu for english literature (cliche, i know) and during that time taylor really exceeded expectations with her essays and chronics and the polished but humorous kind of way she writes. sort of a tongue in cheek kinda thing where even her most difficult professors found charming yk
her move to seattle three years ago was due to a job offer for writing for the seattle times, and she writes little chronics every now and then while she’s working on what should be her next book but we don’t know if it will ever see the light of day
*claps hands* personality
has an emotional support succulent collection
can be kind of funny in a really silly way or be very sarcastic and there’s no in between
dude and bro are definitely endearment terms
has a hard time talking about her feelings and expectations bc most of the time she feels like fucking shit which, relatable
vapes a lot :////
flirty fun & fresh but don’t try to pin her down to commitment cause....... that’s not a can of worms we want to open today mi amigo
self sabotage galore!!!
sometimes dresses like a dad and she won’t realize it until she sees an elderly man wearing the same outfit minus the baseball cap
dogs??? we love them in this household
an asshole but a nice??? asshole?? ig
here’s her pinterest board
idk if this intro makes sense at all but i tried and that’s all we can do, isn’t it??? anyways, if you’d like to plot w this???? alien pls like this post or wish upon a star and i shall contact u
( lisa teige, 22, female ) by chance have you met NOVA WIKSTRÖM yet? i hear SHE has lived in PIONEER SQUARE for THREE WEEKS and works as a SPORTS & FREELANCE PHOTOGRAPHER. i’m surprised you haven’t met them yet but for when you do, i hear they can be quite SCATTERBRAINED but also OBSERVANT. for whatever reason they remind me of CEASELESS MOVEMENT OF HAIR & FEET & HANDS, SILVER RINGS ON DELICATE FINGERS, DOING ANYTHING TO GET THE PERFECT SHOT. ( lias, 20, they/them, est )
THE STORY
--- nova and her older brother aksel ( 24 ) are both swedish ( technically a mix but a too complicated mix of norwegian and swedish to really pick out the percentages -- not that it really matters ). she was born in trondheim, NOR and her brother in örnsköldsvik, SWE, but they were both raised in the north america : minnesota in their earliest years, then london ON, and washington dc as their father jumped from coaching gig to coaching gig for various different teams. they spent and still spend their summers/long breaks in a lakehouse in sweden just outside of örnsköldsvik ( that was always nova’s favorite time of year ).
--- the money in their family comes from the men playing hockey. their father rasmus wikström had a lengthy 15 year career in the nhl as a third/fourth line winger ; not one of the superstars, no, but respectable as a player, wore an A more often than not, and made a few million every season in the process, as you do. but the true superstar in the family is aksel, drafted 9th overall in the 2013 draft by the canucks, who then had an unpredicated breakout season in the first half of the season in the ahl, got called up to the nhl and never went back. teams are still kicking themselves for passing him up. he’s three years into a six year, seven million dollar contract — and he’s proving that he should have asked for even more.
— nova was nothing like her brother. her brother was one-track, laser focused on one dream his entire life… meanwhile nova had no clue what she’s doing. she’s good at plenty of things ( drawing, writing, lacrosse, math, yes– even hockey ) but she never pursued any of them hard enough to become EXCELLENT at any of them. jack of all trades, master of none, right?? she’s never been able to focus on one thing in her entire life, probably because she gets bored easily.
— this in particular led to her outcast in her own family. their mom especially started pushing nova to find “her passion” freshman year of high school, because she believed that everyone should have a life plan. but nova had no interest in trying to figure it out and it only led to more arguments and tension in the household, which turned to long silences with curt comments undermining nova’s character. her father was mostly absent, too busy coaching or something else, too busy to really care about his non-hockey playing child. aksel was the only one in the family she really got along with because he never pushed her, put up with her sometimes meaningless rambles, and seemed to be the only one who understood her and with her brother now gone to the other side of the country, nova felt like she had no one to talk or turn to.
--- nova graduated high school quietly and still had no idea what she wanted to do with her life ( save for get out of her parents’ house ) ; no college plan, no nothing. luckily, aksel provided an easy out for her : allowing her to stay with him at his apartment in vancouver. it was in that first year after graduating that she bought her first camera.
--- she had taken a couple photography classes in high school and had enjoyed it well enough, but had never felt the need to pursue it. however now, with her camera in hand and aksel cheekily telling her to get some good shots of him on the ice, nova accidentally fell in deep love with the art. she excelled at it --- sports photography, hockey in particular since she knew the sport so well. so much of it is predicting and HOPING for the perfect shot.
--- nova had no want for connections, the path for her to get a media passes and access for behind the scenes business was easily afforded to her given her relation to her brother. and the season after that, she found herself part of the canucks photography team and only getting better. in the off-seasons, she honed her talent on other things --- freelance work and other things, though nothing thrilled her as much as sports photography and the unpredictability of it all. it kept her on her toes like nothing else and for that she enjoyed it.
--- she was quite content with her position ; she and aksel continued to share an apartment --- her practically rent free, since aksel needed rather little help to pay for it ( though of course, it left her vulnerable to dumb favors he asked of her, that she did begrudgingly with a roll of her eyes ). summers were spent back home in sweden by the lake -- the whole family together somewhat peacefully, their differences seemingly less severe with so much time spent apart...
--- until this summer. she hadn’t been planning on taking a position with the seahawks ; but the opportunity arose and when she made the final cut, she accepted. it was better maybe than her typical freelance summer work, and she was starting to desire a bit of CHANGE. she put a security deposit down on an apartment not far from the stadium and drove down in the car aksel at bought her for her 21st birthday. she doesn’t know where this will take her ( and it’ll be a little odd living alone again ) but she’s ready to see where it does.
MISC
— nova and her brother are fluent in swedish and conversational in norwegian. she has a slight accent when she returns in the fall from sweden ( mostly from speaking swedish all summer ), but it fades out pretty quickly.
— she drives an orange subaru crosstrek like the sporty legend she is ( jk not a legend, but she does drive a crosstrek ). the car was a birthday present from aksel last summer. she’ll drive up to vancouver occasionally still to check on aksel’s apartment and bc she misses the city a little.
--- nova runs a blog where she’s been documenting her time living with aksel ( with his permission ). it’s typically more candid photos with funny memoir-type short pieces she writes when inspired. she’s not sure what will come of the blog now.
--- her freelance ‘company’ is called WIKshots.
--- she almost always carries around a small unlined notebook with her that she writes or draws in. she’s forgetful even at the best of times and find if she thinks of something genius, she better jot it down quickly.
--- she’s almost always moving : tapping feet, jittery fingers, shifty eyes --- the only time she’s truly still is when she’s taking photos, but even that’s it’s only for the briefest moment. nova will also do anything to get the perfect shot, no matter how crazy she might look ( climbing onto things, laying on the ground in a busy street, truly anything ).
--- she almost always wearing four ( technically five ) rings, all silver :
left middle: 2 delicate blue topaz w/ a thin band
left thumb: braided spinner ring
right index: thin chevron
right ring: TBA but her brother gave it to her on her 18th bday
WANTED CONNECTIONS
--- i’m not sure how it turns out, but their first impression of nova is her doing something ridiculous to get That Shot.
--- gimme all the people in pioneer square that she keeps running into
--- someone who kinda grounds her : she’s so flighty and hard to keep track of sometimes -- with her brother out of the picture in seattle, it’s only going to be worse. give me someone who understands that but also works to keep her grounded when times. someone to be that rock...
--- long shot, but i’d love for her to interact with ppl who know who her brother is ( like... the aksel wikström, one of the young stars of the vancouver canucks ).
--- i love slow burn romo plots but i also have to gauge chem between our muses first

me: i should be mean to at least one character. also me: but i love her :~(((((
so, ayesha suri king was born to an architect and an activist who would eventually die for her cause. ayesha’s mother, diana, died when she was only two years old, and ayesha remembers very little of her. her father never remarried, instead choosing to dedicate himself to his work. he started working from home so that he could look after his only daughter.
ayesha’s dad is her whole world. he was very much a pta dad when she was in primary school --- he baked the best cupcakes, attended every meeting that the pta held, and supported his baby girl unconditionally. ayesha owes so much to her dad, and makes it a point to throw the best father’s day parties every year.
growing up, she showed a keen interest in politics and activism that, quite frankly, worried the everloving shit out of franklin king because it’s what got his wife killed and like hell was he going to let it take his baby too. he didn’t make any attempts to dissuade her though, and kept his worries to himself. he still worries about it to this day, but his worry is often drowned out with pure pride.
she was a clever kid growing up, not only in terms of her academia but also in terms of her [ john mulaney vc ] street smarts ! she learned to take care of herself and to fight for what she believed in, and her dad sees so much of her mother in her it’s almost painful. she can throw a solid right hook, as demonstrated when someone tried to mug her when she was 13.
as she got older, she really started to get into activism but decided that the best way to go about it was to get into law school and try to change the system from the inside out. she considered a few universities, harvard included, but ended up going with the university of washington. originally, she wanted to get into something in new york so that she could be close to her dad but frank was gonna move wherever she went, so that didn’t end up being a problem.
ayesha’s always had a way with words, and in recent years she’s channeled that into blogging and journalism. she’s written for school papers and had a few pieces published, which she’s immensely proud of. she’s scored herself a column in a political zine, and she writes about just about anything --- she’s written about police brutality to animal rights to cyberattacks, and loves it more than she dares to admit. if law doesn’t work out for her, journalism is an increasingly valid option.
law is working out for her, though. she’s dedicated herself to being the best at it, and so far it’s working out for her. her notes are immaculate, she spends most of her time in the corner of the library focusing on her weekly readings, and is trying to make the most of her time at uw and learn as much as humanly possible.
outside of school .... i love an angel who’s almost directly inspired by enjolras from les mis. she’s joined a few activism groups, most of which she ends up leading because she’s got too much to say. she talks and she writes like she’s slipping through an hourglass, mind going at a million miles an hour, doesn’t know how to stop thinking and writing and doing.
character inspo is literally just alexander hamilton and enjolras and if you expect me to feel guilty for it, i don’t.
sarcastic, wisecracking little demon and i love her for it. inherited her dad’s sense of humour and his humility.
( chris pine, thirty-six, cismale ) by chance have you met MARK MILLER yet? i hear HE has lived in PIONEER SQUARE for THIRTY-SIX YEARS and works as a CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY. i’m surprised you haven’t met them yet but for when you do, i hear they can be quite CYNICAL but also PERSUASIVE. for whatever reason they remind me of TAILORED SUITS, WHISKEY NEAT, & MONEY. ( darla, 23, she/her, est )
Hi people. I’ve included a short bio for Mark below just to get things going. I’ll eventually add a list of possible connections and other things but for now, lmk if you want to plot! If you’d prefer to chat on discord, just send me your username and we can discuss there (:
Mark was born in Seattle, Washington in 1982 to two newlyweds, Carlyle and Colette Miller. His parents, both well known attorneys, were obsessed with work and never home while Mark was raised by his nanny. As an only child, he spent most of his childhood in quiet solitude, despite going to a prestigious private school. The lack of attention he was receiving at home greatly impacted his behavior while away from home. Because he acted out in school and began to stain the family’s reputation, Mark was moved into public schooling. His parents thought it would place some perspective on things and show him how lucky he truly was. The bad behavior only got worse in his teen years, although it was quickly swept under the rug by his father. Mark knew nothing of responsibility. Instead, his father bailed him out time & time again. He was promised not only his trust fund but also the family business if he could get his act together, graduate high school, and pull his grades up high enough to be accepted into Harvard, where several generations on his father’s side had attended. This seemed like a fair trade for Mark at the time, who was only seeing dollar signs. After graduating from Harvard Law School with a specialization in criminal defense, Mark moved back to Seattle to claim his inheritance- the family business. His father, proud of his only son, retired upon Mark returning and handed over the reigns. Mark now runs Miller Law Firm as a defense attorney. He is well known for working with assumed guilty clients to either lighten their sentence or get their cases completely dismissed. Mark is trusted among Seattle’s elites for his confidentiality and ability to “go the extra mile”. So far, he has only lost two cases in his almost eight years of being head of his law firm.
