BIO:

Second born child and first born son of Mitchell Anthony and Elaine Anthony.

Arrived into the world two years after his sister Darcy and rounded out the family unit.

From a young age, it was evident that Tyger was good at sports and with some discipline and training he could grow into a gifted athlete.

Mitchell rose to task without hesitation and was more coach than father most days.

Early morning drills, game play strategies, fright night games, the Mitchell household soon began to revolve around football and the strive for a future that Ty believed was fully in reach for him.

Initially, he loved the attention from his dad and believed that bonding over the game brought them closer in a way he knew his father and Darcy weren't.

It wasn't until a string of less-than-great games in high school did he realise that there was conditions to his father's favour and those were that he had to win at any cost.

Ty was obsessed with being the best on the field for the duration of his high school football career and academics was always a firm secondary thought in his mind.

Mid-way through, his whole world shifted on it's axis for the first time after an incident involving his sister and her friends. He learned that night that unequivocally, family was to be protected and that his steadfast chief of police father who he thought had never broken so much as a traffic law would go to extreme lengths to keep his kids safe, including covering up a crime.

The aftermath of Knox Ridley's death drove a deeper wedge between Ty and Darcy than had previously existed and the adoration and desire he had to always try and fit in with his sister waned as he struggled to understand what had happened and how it had changed the person he had always known.

The breakdown of his family soon followed. Elaine moved out of the family home and into another with a husband who didn't have anything to hide and children who could be in the same room as one another. Darcy had left town without so much as a warning and all that remained was Ty and his father and the objective that he couldn't drop the ball on.

Graduated high school and got a full ride to Ohio State on a football scholarship.

Eventually ended up as first string quarterback for the Ohio State Buckeyes, winning two division I championships with them.

It was a no-brainer that he would be NFL drafted, the question was where would he end up rather than if he would.

Everything came to a screeching halt after a freak on field injury.

A sudden collision head-on with another player had knocked Ty out cold which wasn't something he worried much about. He had had plenty of concussions before.

After a cautionary brain scan, he was given the devastating news that if he kept playing, he was risking irreversible damage with every impact.

His professional football career ended that day.

Adrift and with no plan B, Ty ended up back in the bedroom he grew up in, in the town he had always known with everything around him feeling different.

He lost the guts of a year after to an unshakeable depression, the kind that eventually grew to grate on his father who had tried and failed to convince him to try out the police academy and follow in his footsteps.

Eventually, he managed to pull himself up and out of it.

After working a couple of minimum wage jobs, he was given a chance at assistant coaching the high school football team that had once been his entire life.

Being surrounded by the game and the passion that it brings out did wonders for him and he eventually moved out of his father's house and into his own place in Fisher's Cove.

His sister's unexpected return to town was difficult to navigate at first but like anything else, he's doing his best to mend things with her for both of their sakes.

(this bio includes mentions of pregnancy and parental death. proceed with caution of you find these topics triggering)

Dolores Wells was born the youngest daughter of Daphne and August Wells. Consistent reports from her parents (and her oldest sister) say that Louie was a "very good baby" and that her only true flaw was that she had a very disarming gaze -- even from her earliest hours.

Louie grew up as a happy tagalong to her older siblings -- ignorant to the fact that someday (through circumstances and age) they would end up leaving the house one by one. Everyone who moved out experienced a cold shoulder from Louie for an extended period of time. She never liked change.

Clever as a student, Louie did well academically but never particularly thrived socially. No one was unkind to her, and she engaged happily when necessary, but she didn't particularly seek out the slumber parties and shopping trips of other girls her age. She was more than happy to come home and explore on the beach or curl up next to a window with a book.

Louie met her first true friend in the astronomy club in high school. Paired with Salvador Cavendish, nights under the stars bloomed into a secret teenage romance that ended disastrously at prom.

After high school, Louie pursued her love of nature and her parent's activism and pursued a degree in environmental science -- later going on to get her Master's degree in aquatic biology and conservation planning.

Over the years, Sal came in and out in her life in various degrees of commitment -- on and off, fights and make ups, never settling on commitment. Three years ago, Louie discovered she was pregnant as a result of a one-night stand the two of them had had. After much thought, Louie decided to keep the baby -- a boy that would have the name August (known as 'Gus' to pretty much everyone).

Gus became the bright light to the family following the sudden and shocking passing of her father.

Currently, Louie lives in a cabin on the beach near the lighthouse. She spends most of her days outdoors doing research for her studies and exploring tidepools with Gus. She and Sal share split custody -- intent on showing him that the three of them are a family in spite of the fact they don't all live together.

fun facts.

strong swimmer. has saved two people drowning in the bay on different occasions. she keeps a citizen medal in a sock drawer.

only bought a car (cheap junker) when gus was born. now that he's older, the two of them mostly walk or he rides in a front wagon of her bicycle.

drink of choice is whiskey neat.

has a closet in her house that is stacked floor to ceiling in handwritten research journals.

has an orange cat named "toots". he is fourteen years old, deaf, mostly blind, and has a half-bald tail.

── history.

Born to Michael and Cassidy Becker, preceding his younger brother Luke and younger sister Annie, Robbie was born in Port Hope, Canada. Both of his parents were professors in local colleges after they had each individually worked at University of Toronto and York University. They had since settled down to create a life together which led to the move to Port Hope.

He was not planned out. Michael was in his fifties, while Cassidy in her late forties. His mom was overjoyed as she always wanted a child, and this just spurred on the desire for them to build a larger family.

Unfortunately, for everyone, Cassidy only survived a few years after her daughter was born (Robbie was ten). A heart attack that no one was expecting took her far too early, after that day the family never recovered.

Michael became more reclusive, keeping the kids out of his study, and they learned to fend for themselves very early on. It wasn't terrible neglect. They did just fine. Money was never an issue for the Becker family as Michael's family had generational wealth built up over nearly two centuries. There was a roof over their heads, food in the fridge and clothing on their back. Robbie took over to make sure his younger siblings would make it to school and keep their grades up.

It was about when he was fifteen, his father started to come out of his depressive funk. It was a gradual adjustment with Michael trying to fit himself back into their lives, but it wasn't a great challenge. After all, the kids weren't the ones that shut him out. It'd been the other way around. The hardest part was Annie because she barely had a relationship with him when tragedy struck.

That spurred on an unintentional rift between Robbie and Michael as he focused on trying to build something with his daughter. He asked more and more of Annie’s time while Robbie and Lucas found companionship in one another.

Not as studious as his brother, Robbie found more joy in after school activities that didn't involve a ball or excessive athleticism. One of his favorites was debate club, and the next was environmental club. He, along with a few students on the class council and others just as passionate, became the group in their school to begin running drives for various community issues.

This exposure to social and environmental issues in his more formative years sparked a desire for being involved to the most of his ability. It also developed his very anti-capitalistic approach to life, and in turn, a deep passion for advocating and supporting projects meant to better the world.

(It has also, in some ways, made him a bit insufferable to be around at points, but he's also unapologetic about stepping on toes.)

Because of this, the intended gap year break post high school graduation turned into three years. It wasn't until he was twenty-one he decided to pursue a college education. There also might have been a push from his father, who only seemed invested in Robbie's choices because he was still living on his dime. It was 'go to college or get a job and move out', so college it was.

He chose Aurora Bay because of the small town feel, and college there is cheaper than the well known Berkeley. With no stellar grades or scholarships, the lighter tuition to shoulder was the course of action. He is still living on campus, but has been scoping out Ocean Crest to move into when he graduates, assuming he doesn't apply for his Masters.

-- FEBRUARY 2025 TO JUNE 2025

Robbie had gone back home to Canada due to a medical scare with his sister. Despite that pushing his graduation back to spring of 2026, he wanted to be there to be supportive to everyone, and now that she is on the mend, he made an early return so he can get back into work, saving money, and preparing for the winter 2025 semester.

── personality.

positive: sensible, passionate

neutral: modest, purposeful

negative: uptight, self-critical

── headcanons.

⊹ very eco-conscious. annoyingly so. rides his bike everywhere, might side-eye you for using a plastic straw, or for not second-hand shopping. don’t ask him about how he runs his AC at a breezy 62 degrees, though. he can get a little defensive about it.

⊹ speaking of, nearly everything he owns he’s gotten as a hand-me-down or thrifted. he also runs and moderates a ‘buy nothing’ facebook group.

⊹ he’s only in the US with his approved I-20 Certificate of Eligibility for while he studies. as for after graduation? he’s not sure about whether he wants to stay or not, so there is little thought put into his long term goals.

⊹ he used to do cottage rental cleaning in Port Hope, so applying for the maid service at Seascape was a no brainer. he also likes to use it as an opportunity to pocket anything that he’s certain the guests aren’t coming back for. jewelry and cash get turned in with first dibs after the claim window ends (finders keepers), but sealed food and beverages make their way into his bag.

⊹ everything has a plan. everything has a place. scheduled times are to be met, and if you’re late, instant ick. he also has an obsession with organizing his pantry with labeled glass containers.

⊹ mediocre at skeet shooting, pretty good at ax throwing, terrible at any contact sports.

⊹ he started college at age twenty-one after taking a few years off post-graduation. what did he do those years? bounce around to attend various environmental and conservation protests and immerse himself in activist life. He has also attended protests for various social issues, that of which he is very vocal about. he has long since calmed down while in california to keep his nose clean.

⊹ loves anything lemon flavored. give him all of your yellow starburst! but be warned, if you sneak a banana flavored candy in there he will probably hate you.

⊹ there is a seagull he’s named nugget that he feeds from his apartment balcony. he utilizes the companionship to get it to baptize the cars of tenants he doesn’t like. you know, symbiotic relationships and all.

⊹ does not say ‘eh’.

── current connections.

Brand new muse, as I join Club 14. He’s not a native, but he’s not a stranger to some United States territory. Long-term childhood best friends are unlikely, however, there is a possibility of maybe a friend met on a family vacation? Before cell phones were big, so really young and they started as pen pals. Family vacations staggered off after age ten.

♡ @theameliaxevans - college peer and party friend. yes, wes, look away. no trouble to be seen here! ♡ @edenxoconnell - ex-boyfriend of, has a bit a bad blood against due to the manner of which their break-up occurred. but also didn't turn down an opportunity to hook-up at a college mixer. ♡ @solaadisa - double trouble in SoCal's activist scene. also, cheers to having a pseudo-older sister!

── connection ideas.

♡ personal tour guide - can either be the person who showed robbie around when he got here a few years ago, or robbie can be your newbie's personal tour guide to the town!

♡ dorm roomies - june through august, he stays at ocean crest, but during the school year, robbie dorms at aurora bay towers. that of course means he will likely have a dorm roommate.

♡ thin walls - walls in the apartments and the college dorms are similarly thin, and this can be a weird, late night talks through the walks for fun. they didn't leave their rooms to see who it was talking to them because some of these talks turned into trauma dumping, so the anonymity of it felt safer.

♡ farmer's market buddies - traditional farmer market buddies! that's all.

♡ misread signals - one was just passionate about micro plastics, the other thought it was flirting.

♡ general ideas - classmates, environmentalist buddies, any tinder matches, someone who lets robbie cheat off of them in math class, regulars at seascape

[cis male he/him] Welcome to Aurora Bay, [MARCUS YOUNG]! I couldn’t help but notice you look an awful lot like [CHAD MICHAEL MURRAY]. You must be the [FOURTY THREE] year old [JOURNALIST AT AURORA BAY TIMES]. Word is you’re [DETERMINED] but can also be a bit [OBLIVIOUS] and your favorite song is [LIGHT ON BY DAVID COOK]. I also heard you’ll be staying in [FISHER COVE]. I’m sure you’ll love it!

Marcus always had a strong sense of justice and dreamed of becoming a police officer. Growing up in a small Midwestern town, he idolized his uncle, a respected local sheriff, and hoped to follow in his footsteps. After high school, Marcus enrolled in the police academy, where he met Haley. They bonded over grueling training exercises, long study sessions, and their shared ideals of making a difference in the world.

As they spent more time together, their friendship deepened into a romantic relationship. However, halfway through the program, Marcus had an epiphany: while he admired law enforcement, his true passion lay in uncovering and telling the truth through stories. With Haley’s encouragement, he made the difficult decision to leave the academy and pursue a degree in journalism. It was a bold move, but Marcus believed he could make a bigger impact by amplifying voices and shedding light on hidden injustices.

After graduating, Marcus began his journalism career in Aurora Bay, the coastal town where he and Haley had lived since meeting at the academy. The two built a life together, filled with love, shared dreams, and the charm of small-town living. While Marcus worked on local stories and steadily grew his reputation as a reporter, Haley pursued her own career, always supporting his ambitions.

Over time, Marcus’s assignments became more ambitious, pulling him farther from home. He began traveling for stories, covering regional and national events that demanded his attention. Eventually, his talent and dedication led him to international assignments, where he became a combat journalist reporting from war zones and conflict areas. Though Marcus thrived on the adrenaline and purpose of his work, the constant danger and his prolonged absences took a toll on their marriage. Haley, worried for his safety and feeling increasingly alone, urged him to prioritize their life together. But Marcus, consumed by his passion for the job, refused to step back.

Their marriage couldn’t survive the strain, and after a painful divorce, Marcus left Aurora Bay, determined to keep chasing his career. For years, he threw himself into his work, covering harrowing stories in some of the world’s most dangerous places. Then, on a particularly risky assignment, Marcus was severely injured. As he recovered in the hospital, he finally faced the consequences of his choices. He realized how much he had lost... his home, his sense of stability, and most importantly, Haley.

Seeking to rebuild his life, Marcus returned to Aurora Bay, the only place that truly felt like home. He now works for the Aurora Bay Times, focusing on small-town stories that keep him connected to the community. More importantly, he’s hoping to reconnect with Haley, knowing he has a long road to earning her forgiveness and trust. While the scars of his past linger, Marcus is determined to find peace and rediscover the life he once let slip away, in the town where it all began.
