INTRODUCTIONS: hello! i’m your friendly neighbourhood lucy, and this beautiful small bean is rory. in case you can’t tell, i suck at introducing myself, but i am going to try my diddly-darn best. click under the cut to hear me ramble some more, so i don’t jumble your dash with my 1am coffee fuelled zeal. i’ll probably pass out after this, but shoot me a message; i’ll hopefully get to replying to some starters in the morning !
so, you’ve made it this far! as i’ve probably said like three times already, i’m lucy, gmt (fun factoid: ireland, so basically britain but rainier), and i go by she/her pronouns. i’m also small & need friends ok. but enough about me, and more about the love of my life, rory aldridge.
her name is actually aurora, but she’s sick of being a sleeping beauty (”i’LL SLEEP WHEN I’M DEAD”), so she’ll literally go by any other name.
originally born in germany (berlin), she had a sweet gig going on. she’s the youngest out of three triplets, and she loves her brothers w/all of her little heart and soul.
her mom is german (hence the slightly strange brothers-grimm name), but her dad is actually from the u.s, so she’s fluent in both languages.
things were chill until rory was about seven. they discovered that she was a pretty sick kid, and not in a cool way. she was born with a pretty severe congenital heart defect, pulmonary stenosis, and was in and out of hospital all the time. they only discovered it late, and she had to undergo open heart surgery to try and fix it. it left a pretty nasty scar, and it’s one of the only things she’s still super self-conscious about. even now, she’s still in and out of hospital pretty often, as they check to make sure the leakage in her heart isn’t getting too severe.
so, yep, she’s lived in germany all her life; that is, until the thought of university rolled around. amsterdam was a roll of the dice; she wishes she had some big, monumental reason for it, but she doesn’t. however, a dream of being a tourist in her own life and plunging herself out of the comfortable normality of berlin was enough to get her started. between her slightly rusted red bicycle, cozy flat in east and her college classes, she’s pretty happy with the whole ‘close your eyes and point’ choice that led her here.
she’s usually the bohemian, easy-going one, and she’s very reluctant to talk about anything remotely negative in her life, though will gladly listen to others complain. she suffers from pretty bad anxiety attacks, and she’s lucky they’re relatively infrequent, if incredibly intolerable when they do happen. this & her heart defect are really the only aspects of her she tries to hide; she wholeheartedly believes it makes her “screwed up”, and is too ashamed to mention it to anyone.
my lil bean is a kool kid B) tho. the whole heart ordeal only solidified her “carpe diem screw the government” attitude, and she’s a big believer in seizing the day. from animal rights protests to 3am ice cream under the stars, rory tries to make the most of the life she's got, painfully aware there's always a chance that hers will be shorter than she hoped. she can be a little reckless, and a little bit too impulsive sometimes, but she does try to be kind to everyone and has a rlly good heart (the irony) underneath the snark and humour.
AND IF U MADE IT THIS FAR, I SALUTE YOU. i tried to bold the important parts for tl;dr but i’m a bit of a rambling mess. i’m always a mess™ for connections, so hit me up with anything — everything works!
feel free to shoot me an IM, i am filled with love & bad puns to share. if not, just like this post & i will bring my messy typing and hard-to-understand slang to ur inbox
hi guys!! it’s ellie again heh :’) i wanted to tell you a bit about lil rudy this time
so! some of this you guys might already know if you read hanna’s ooc or like plotted with kit at all or anything but
rudy is originally from the hague. his dad is a popular politician and their parents were always loving but obviously a bit busy. rudolf was much closer to hanna than either of his parents since they just weren’t around at all
rudy was a good kid and played the part of the charismatic politician’s son well, but he grew relatively cynical and critical at how fake everyone always seemed--kids normally only wanted to be friends with him because of his money, his family’s status, or his sister, practically every politician in the world seemed to lie, sometimes even his dad, etc etc. he was always more on the reserved, thoughtful side, but he grew more into himself the older he got. he rarely trusts anyone
he knows how to be charming and personable, but he doesn’t often see the point and generally needs to trust someone before he starts opening up to them. once he does, tho, he’s a total sweetheart, super loyal and loving. i promise he’s not a dick!! he just assumes most people are fake
he loves reading and history and poetry and art and pretty things. very into aesthetics. he writes a lot of his own poetry but NEVER shows it to anyone
working in a museum has always been his dream and his goal is to one day be the curator. for now he’s just an educator in charge of classes and tour guides, etc
i would soooo love to plot with anyone and everyone!! i know this isn’t a whole lot of info but rudy is a kind babe i promise and i love him and i hope you guys will too :’)
it me... the Basic Bitch™ w the selena fc... BDJHDJS... i go by B and i’m excited to get back into rping tho ! don’t laugh at how ugly my bullet points r gonna be </3 if you’d like to plot some past connections i’d be Down af , just like this and i’ll send u an im !! .. i live 4 anything and everything messy so if u got smthn problematic bring it to Mama... now to get down to business !
claudia ortiz (she/her), twenty two, lives in old west, works as a nanny, has lived in amsterdam for 4 years now
her label is the crimson ! she kinda sweet ig ... initially...but lowkey has a lot of built up anger and trust issues inside she likes to explode sometimes she’s a ticking time bomb tbh it’s just a matter of when
she’s very sarcastic and is kidding 99% of the time serious conversations make her uncomfortable and she never discloses her feelings with anyone unless ur like her bff
she’s from seattle but she left home when she was 18 right after graduating high school, she had a shitty relationship w her mom and has no idea who her dad is it’s just kinda been her, her mom, and a bunch of her mom’s boyfriends . kinda toxic ! so she was like peace and moved outta the country
she self medicates w Alcohol it’s her favorite thing in the whole entire world she’s a party gal on friday and saturday night
she loves the rain, small children, italian food, candles, long baths, making impromptu plans, and heated blankets
i’d love connections like unknown sibling, best friend, ex bf/gf, sworn enemy, roommates, maybe if ur muse has a child she can watch them??, party buddies, fwb, etc... anything truly
replies to come tomorrow or (most likely) the day after because your girl here is graduating tomorrow (again LOL) !!! sorry for always being slow as a snail, and do feel free to message me and we can plot together too 😊
hiya, my name’s alex and i’ve been sort of out of the roleplaying loop for a month or two but now i’m back with camila who’s an absolute sinnamon. she’s originally from cozumel (i went on vacation there once and it’s absolutely beautiful) but she came to amsterdam when she was eighteen so you can feel free to assume connections! anyway, i’m always interested in plotting and my inbox is 100% open :~)
so, I know my activity here has been pretty sparse, but it looks like I won’t have time to be here today either T_T I’m so sorry everyone but just know I’m here lurking, sending in all those memes too.
hey everyone! I know I haven't been here in a couple days, just been busy with work and all. I'll get to replies later tonight (IM messages too) or tomorrow, so thanks for being patient with me !
