⟨ ben barnes. cis male. he/him. ⟩ ↪ have you met henry kline yet ? this thirty - eight year old leo has been living in the beverly hills area for thirty - eight years. he makes a living as an executive producer, which works for their captivating, sociable, cunning, and libidinous nature. sober by lorde is one of hank's favorite songs, and they're written by ron, 24, gmt -3. ⟨ 🔪 ⟩
hello laid ease, i’m ron, she/her, 24 years old & from the gmt -3 timezone. i haven’t been in a group rp for a While^tm but when i knew admin cole & admin melly had a new rp out i just had to apply bc they are truly legendaric. anyway, a little abt me: i have three dogs, i’m brazilian & i’m a Film Gay. that’s all i think, now for the main show:
henry kline, heir to the Famous kline family and first born. never truly had real freedom and grew up with truly unforgiving parents which caused him to act out sooner or later, as all good privileged rebels do. doted with a business mind, after all he was groomed for it ever since he was but a wee lad.
erratic and unreliable, however, henry spends way more money than he makes. but the kline family fortune is as old money as the existence of hollywood itself. henry works as an executive producer and he makes sure to always get one leg up over his clients. equally machiavelic & capable, if you want your movie to be certified fresh on rotten tomatoes -------- you’ll come knocking on henry’s door.
tabloids love him, the citizens of l.a hate him. however, his reckless nature became bad for business a few years back, when certain rumors of his addiction started circulating. it cost the kline family a pretty penny to get the rumors --------- which turned out to be true, out of the papers. now, henry would frequent rehabs every now and then, and his parents decided it was time for henry to settle down
an unhappy marriage was arranged. never truly the doting husband, henry was never the kind to settle down, but in his defense, he doesn’t expect his wife to be faithful neither. loyalty is expected, but that’s all.
rich, rotten & decadent. henry is the portrait of the old hollywood, his deals not always being squeaky clean. he has friends in the highest and lowest of places. someone who knows the city like the back of their hand, and every single ugly nook of the city of stars has made him who henry is. but things are changing, and he’s not so sure the city has a place for him anymore.
anyway, this is a terrible intro but bear with me. this has been the most i’ve written for like........ months. im sorry. anyways. if you’d like to plot with this trash of a man, you know what to do ;*
⟨ pedro pascal. cis male. he/him. ⟩ ↪ have you met andres reyes yet ? this forty-three year old scorpio has been living in the silver lake area for twenty-two years. he makes a living as a film director, which works for their nonchalant, inventive, hedonistic, and eclectic nature. 3am by thundercat is one of andy’s favorite songs, and they're written by bird, 22, est, none. ⟨ ✨ & 🌅 ⟩
it’d bird again. *crowd booing* ok, ok, i know! i get it! i’m trash! but i have ANOTHER muse! once again my discord is charli d'amelio#7364 if you want it <3
andres is the child of a famous critically acclaimed actor and a model/bombshell from the 60s and 70s. he grew up around the business and has a love/hate relationship with it.
his parents were never REALLY around?? his father more than his mother. feels like everything he knows about his dad is what other people know. never had a personal relationship with them
grew up bouncing between la and nyc but went to college in ny from 18-22
he likes to live a low profile despite the fame he has accumulated on his own and because of his last name.
loves the artistic side of la and all the ins and outs, but hates the social climbing and the try hards and the people who are just in it for the fame
he’s a director and loves it because he’s always been in love with movies!! loves the aesthetic of film and going to the theaters to watch it on the big screen!
think of his creative vibe as david fincher meets yorgos lanthimos :)
he has plenty of favorites!! like he has plenty of fans. so many nominations under his belt!! but never any awards for the film. only for his actors and other awards. never won anything personally if that makes sense but he doesn’t mind because he knows he has good movies
for sure has been engaged a bunch but never goes through with it!!!!!! gets bored
is nonchalant but it can be so relaxed that he can come across rude or interested when in reality he IS interested most of the time!!
self-indulgent in the way he wants to make himself happy! meaning doing what he wants when he wants to! will put his feelings first because he doesn’t want to be unhappy and waste time doing what others want or for the benefit of others... guess you could say that makes him selfish
kinda odd! has weird interests!! his apartment is probably very dark and full of antiques and oddities
loves horror movies so if your muse creates or is in the horror genre he’s probably a fan
⟨ zoe kravitz. cis fem. she/her. ⟩ ↪ have you met corey jones yet ? this thirty-one year old sagittarius has been living in the weho area for ten years. she makes a living as a comic book artist, which works for their spontaneous, empathetic, strong-willed, and flighty nature. in lust we trust by steve lacey is one of cor’s favorite songs.
hi, i’m sidney prescott’s mom -- melly !! this here is my chaotic gay feminist, corey. some deets about her are below. can’t wait to meet and plot w all your beauts !
her full name is cordelia though she will steadfastly deny it. used by her mother and friends looking to annoy her.
she grew up as a latchkey kid over in a new york suburb, her father left early with his secretary and her mom worked in an art gallery to support the kid
independence became second nature to her, she takes care of herself and doesn’t take to authority well.
though she’s always been a bright, precocious girl, her hobbies were always pretty childish. she liked cartoons, anime, and would ritually devour the comic section of the daily newspaper
wasn’t long until she picked up her own pencil and outline pen, her stories always reflected what she went through which tended to get pretty scandalous as she got older
in high school she had a rebellious nature. slept around, skipped class, drank, did drugs, and had minor interactions with the law. she was one of those people to provide the gossip – a joke to the girls and a conquest for the boys
despite her urban legend reputation, there really wasn’t anything extraordinary about corey. there weren’t any major issues, only existential ones, she simply didn’t really know what she was looking for, wanted to try everything and see what stuck. turns out new york wasn’t it
she played the same black sheep role in college and the minute she graduated, corey washed her hands of her mistakes and headed for a new coast – good ol’ los angeles
for the past ten years she’s been nurturing her comic book, a feminist love letter to girls like her, which sells only decently. it’s squeezed her into some conventions over the years and her goal is to flip it into an animated series or, even better, live action.
los angeles is a whole lot slower than new york and actually managed to calm her heart down, though she still ripples with that spontaneous recklessness now and again, she’s really quite content with where she’s at now.
wanted connections: friends, frenemies, old new york friends, ppl in the art community she’s probably peers w, also dabbles in the music community so probably has buds there, too.
⟨ mena massoud. cis male. he/him. ⟩ ↪ have you met mazen kamal yet ? this twenty-seven year old virgo has been living in the santa monica area for seven years. he makes a living as an ethical hacker, which works for their sagacious, meticulous, neurotic, and overbearing nature. right here, right now by fatboy slim is one of mk’s favorite songs, and they're written by ani, 22, bst ( gmt + 1 if ya nasty )
my disc*rd is me parrot's gone#2202. i will be reading everyone’s intros for the next 78379482 years and falling in deep, deep love. i’m also in the middle of making sum banana bread.
FULL NAME: mazen kamal
NICKNAME(S): mk, maze, mk ultra ( by work colleagus )
DOB: september 4th, 1993
AGE: twenty-seven
GENDER: cis male
SEXUALITY: bisexual
NATIONALITY: eyptian-american
ETHNICITY: egyptian
HOMETOWN: costa mesa, california
RELIGION: none
SPOKEN LANGUAGE(S): english ( fluent ), eqyptian arabic ( fluent ), french ( some )
OCCUPATION: ethical hacker, cyber special agent / former hacker for hire
mazen has always been a cali local. his parents, having moved from egypt soon after getting married, decided to settle in the sunny state where the jobs in both their respective fields were abundant.
his father being a software engineer, mazen was exposed to computers from quite a young age. a lot of his father’s work was done from home so mazen got a first-hand look at a lot of his work. he soon became enthralled with the world of computers and systems and how a seemingly jumbled group of letters and numbers could mean so much in the grand scheme of everything.
with already having a knack for coding and being, well, too smart for his own good, it made sense for him to find a job that challenged him intellectually, but also encompassed what he so loved. he truly could’ve ventured into any avenue in terms of work and careers - but he enjoyed sharing a passion with his father.
naturally, it took him a while to work his way up to a job he could see himself making a career out of. and while he did that, he dabbled into another venture : hacking for hire.
yiK e every request you can imagine, maze has received it. but as he was using the money he got from hacking to pay for his cosy santa monica apartment, he couldn’t exactly be picky. for the most part, it was just men and women alike wanting him to find dirt on their other halves - which he did.
somewhere along the way, he discovered that ethical hacking was a Thing and although it wasn’t what he originally thought he would end up doing, he couldn’t help but notice that he was good finding faults in systems. he now works for a company in los angeles that work alongside law enforcement. he still does his hacking for hire gig for any long-standing customers.
in general, he’s an overall good-egg and do-gooder. in school, he was the class clown of sorts who made sure all of his friends passed their exams against a lot of really shitty odds. he had a Nice upbringing with his parents and they raised him making sure he knew not everyone would have had the same.
he loves food but hAtes cooking and frequents food places a lot more than he’ll eVeR tell his mom. he’s that fucker with a fast metabolism we all despise.
has a pair of ferrets called bot & byte they’re not exactly legal in cali but that’s a minor problem for maze
wanted connections !
people he’s hacked for.
The Best Friend™ ; these two truly are inseparable.
someone who works within the police / crime industry who has uses maze as their main point of contact if they need something done.
[ vine vc ] oh my god, they were roommates. maze shares his apartment in santa monica with someone else.
hook ups ! gotta love the hook ups. maze isn’t a commitmaphobe by any means ( quite the opposite, actually ). he enjoys people’s company :( he ultimately wants LUB but he’ll settle for hook ups if it means he’s filling a hole ( quite literally gdsfjkshj )
someone who works in one of the food places maze frequents. they have a nice friendship blossoming because of it.

⟨ jessica chastain. cis fem. she/her. ⟩ ↪ have you met ruby vandenburg yet ? this thirty eight old capricorn has been living in the santa monica area for one day. she makes a living as a personal trainer, which works for their free-spirited, easygoing, guarded, and competitive nature. roxanne by dilana smith is one of ruby's favorite songs !
hi hi ! andromeda in the house to bring you all jessica chastain on the dash & my shitty writing but here goes nothing, amirite ?? also am part of the essential workers gang but my ass can’t stop, won’t stop rping ... it’s been 11 years after all, anyway hello love me pls !
a long ass intro
auburn hair. porcelain skin. sunkissed with freckles. ruby was born with those blessed features. it wasn't the first time the vandenburg's were graced with children. two years before ruby came into the world, sapphire vandenburg was born. two redheads that followed their mother’s hair color, that roamed the streets of albany, new york throughout the years and children louise and stewart vandenburg weren't willing to take care of, but due to both stewart's and louise's religion, they both strongly believed that keeping them for show was better than abortion. and so louise’s work as a fashion designer, family celebrations, dinners and public appearances were put on hold when she started to show, a cover up spread around in magazines that she was secretly working on something huge instead of revealing her pregnancy.
louise and stewart weren’t fan of parenting and completely neglected the two, left them up for nannies to take care of them. ruby grew up in a big house, though the building never felt like home. the redhead learned from a young age that she wasn't the favorite at home. not by the two people that were supposed to be her caretakers at least. but her older sister, oh her sister loved her to death. sapphire grew to be her hero. only two years apart and only able to rely on each other, they became close. ever since ruby was able to walk, it was sapphire she always went to, in photos the two were inseparable. the youngest always reaching out to the older redhead's hand, even at the age of 12, in times of ache, in times of need of comfort, in times where they needed to be seen, they were there for each other. until one day, ruby no longer could reach for her sister’s hand.
one calm night for once at home when both stewart and louise were home from business trips, sapphire had spilled her biggest secret to the two; she felt best describing herself as queer. this resulted in her sister thrown out of the house. with no money, no support or roof over her head, she had watched her sister walk off from the porch, crying her heart out herself. there had been nothing she could've done, ever since that day, she hadn't been the same. she decided to hide her own sexuality and become the perfect daughter her parents were desperately longing for.
focusing on school, getting the perfect grades, she tried not to let her home situation get to her. over time, teachers noticed her random angry outbursts as well as the p.e. teacher watched her effort in gym class. soon became clear to the redhead she wanted to get into something gym-related after she graduated. she wanted to help other people, despite the fact she didn't have many friends at school and her parents weren't honest or lovable people. she wanted to be different from them. and that inspired her to become a personal trainer, as soon she received her graduation papers at the age of 18.
as she promised to herself, within a year she had received her personal trainer certification with the supporting money of her parents to pay for her program. she worked her ass off to get in shape, with the help of her own personal trainer.
over the years, she expanded her client range by promoting herself online, so soon she had people requesting her as a personal trainer in the u.k. as well. traveling to europe made her happier, it got her to take a break from being in new york city all the time.
london was the perfect escape for the redhead to escape from her parents’ grip. she fell in love with a client, someone that no one knew about and she could turn to whenever. a relationship that had its flaws but was something ruby could find a future in. until one day her girlfriend, turned ex-girlfriend on the spot, threw her out of her house unexpectedly and broke up with her. this caused her to seek shelter at their favorite restaurant, when her plane home got cancelled due to bad weather circumstances and a home she did not have in london other than her exes'.
entering the london lick heartbroken, she never would've thought the owner of the restaurant would ever take her in. give her the comfort and healing she needed. the next day, when she was supposed to go back home and live her old life again - she found herself not able to. she stayed with the chef, let her heal her broken heart and take care of her. simone luther had become her saving grace, who saw the beauty in her when the personal trainer felt the ugliest both inside and out. she opened up to her, cried in her arms at night until the demons that haunted her heart and mind were chased away by simone's soothing touch and words. the personal trainer forgot about work, or even travelling back home in the first place. until she received the terrifying mention to leave the country and go back to new york, as she didn't possess a visa. the goodbye had been cruelly painful the day simone had brought her off to the airport, but she promised to keep in touch every single day.
and keep in contact she did. despite their time difference and busy schedules, they managed to facetime at least once a week. and call whenever they could. a year later, ruby had gained the opportunity to attend the lgbt pride in london and there she ran back into simone again and with their emotional past they had created, feelings came into play. ruby's heart had grown attached to simone now, just as much as simone's had grown to hers. the day before valentines day they made it official. the two had become a couple that grossed everyone dear to them out.
ruby moved in with simone, got a work visa and honestly lived her happy life, there’s been some angst stuff i’m not gonna dive into (medusa: yeah so she once got held up at a bank w/ some other peeps. robbery funsies. now she doesn't really like guns bc of it. rip.), simone proposed to her, they have yet to get married but they’re exploring the world first and diving deeper into emotions. that’s all !

⟨ kristen stewart. cis fem. she/her. ⟩ ↪ have you met taylor fleming yet ? this thirty year old scorpio has been living in the west hollywood area for four years. she makes a living as a screenwriter, which works for their creative, passionate, careless, and hedonistic nature. then because she goes by the 1975 is one of tay’s favorite songs, and they’re written by ron, 24, gmt -3. ⟨ ✨ ⟩
since i have terrible self-control i couldn’t help bringing my wannabe spike jonze, aaron sorkin: taylor
one of those real, new yorker types. grew up all her life in brooklyn. very common, cookie cutter family. a mom and a dad, not exactly well off but financially above average, and two brothers. taylor’s always nourished a deeper love for movies and good stories. the kind of girl who would start books at ten pm and go to bed with the birds chirping outside as it dawned because once she started reading she couldn’t put the story down.
appreciates movies because they can take the most varied subjects and make it interesting, make it worth to be seen and understood. the best study of people for her has always been getting into what makes a character tick, what makes they do the things they do.
a child of divorce, taylor has to work through some unresolved issues yet. she’s not over the trauma of everything and it’s made her closed off in some ways. she hates feeling vulnerable, but desperately longs to feel seen, even if by just one person. don’t we all tho lmao
wrote short stories, some of them ended up published in independent zines, and she even had a fellow author shout her out in the new yorker. it wasn’t really difficult to get into nyu, and taylor became very prolific in her student years. she wrote over twenty short stories, and was featured in the new yorker as a freshman. so of course everyone thought the only way for her to go was up, right?
wrong. after a stellar academic participation, striking up as a screenwriter was harder than she thought. especially because she wasn’t one to kiss ass to get where she wanted. she’s very authentic, and it’s easy to read what’s going through her head sometimes.
a known party girl, taylor doesn’t want quiet moments in her life. her loneliness bleeds through her writing, but she’s never alone. has an array of romantic pursuits but never someone who’s really gotten to know her and be vulnerable with someone. she’d rather die tbh
a lesbian and proudly so, the kind who goes to rallies and is very outspoken about her sexuality.
obsessive about certain things and thoughts. she pursues something to the end. and that has led her to the bottom of the bottle too many times, more than someone should ever experiment. a recovering alcoholic, it was time for a change of scenery, and since her talents weren’t being used in new york --------- she switched it up to sunny los angeles. after all, if she wanted to work in movies, she should go where movies are made.
she’s been sober for two years now. and it’s the longest she’s gone. even though sometimes she misses it, her work is better when she has a clear mind.
longs to be loved but doesn’t know how to love very well.
fits into the lonely lesbian trope. and we fucking stan.
people might see her as somewhat of a player but actually she’s just desperately trying to find a deeper connection, no matter how many warm bodies she goes through each night.
that’s all i think. if u wanna plot with taylor......... ahem. you know. also i forgot to put this in my other post but my d*sc*rd is: cancel elgort#2978
⟨ elizabeth olsen. cis fem. she/her. ⟩ ↪ have you met imogen green yet ? this thirty-one year old taurus has been living in the downtown los angeles area for nine years. she makes a living as a screenwriter, which works for their hardworking, talkative, clumsy, and scatterbrained nature. fetch the bolt cutters by fiona apple is one of immy’s favorite songs, and they're written by bird, 22, est, none. ⟨ ✨ & 🌅 ⟩
hiiiii i’m bird!!!!! i never know what to say here but?? i’m messy??? my discord is charli d'amelio#7364 if you’re interested?? thanks <3
she’s an east coast gal through and through! grew up in maine with her parents, father being a artist from ireland and mother a writer from the uk, and lived a normal upbringing. nothing wild ever happened to her. her parents were cooky, sure, but they were loving and gave her a normal childhood. you could say she wasn’t the main character
imogen moved to school in nyc form ages 19-22 before she moved out to la to work on some television shows. she did that for a few years until she finally began writing movies or helping with scripts.
she hasn’t had any of her own movies take off yet but she’s always grinding to get something on their feet
for now, she’ll help consult on her peers projects
lk hates la and the la culture but knows it’s where she needs to be to get work
isn’t good at networking and being charming and likable like she is who she is and people either love her or hate her or are annoyed by her
imogen lives her life behind thick rimmed glasses wearing mens clothes she’s accumulated from exes and goodwill
she’s always rambling about nonsense or work and talking and moving so fast you can’t keep up
is probably undiagnosed add
is bad at being in her own head like!! the real world doesn’t exist!!! has a hard time connecting
messy as fuck
passionate!!!!!
like i said in her app she’s hardworking, talkative, clumsy and scatterbrained like that’s her brand
