heyo ! i’m deni , she / her pronouns & working plant mom in the gmt+9 timezone . here is my messy babe jovi , a hotshot wannabe . he has a tiny wanted connects tag , so please check ‘em out and we can vibe whatever i’m srsly down for any of that ! so hit like if you wanna plot this is short and sweet for sanity’s sake .
viral for: skateboarding tricks , ripping his clothes onstage , crowdsurfing , #exposed for sleeping literally anywhere on instalive and tiktok , skintight leather pants , a new hair color every month , floral tattoos
𝖺𝖻𝗈𝗎𝗍.
parents are normal-ish . a little goodie-goodie , cookie-cutter in that way that drives all the suburban boys off the deep end . pent-up anger snowballed into a separation around jovi’s middle grade years , but they were never divorced — never called it what jovi and everyone else knew it was . walked around the like ghosts in a house everyone knew they couldn’t afford . but whatever . not like all that passive aggressive bullshit and refusal to acknowledge the truth had any lasting effect or anything . . . and fuck , everything in that upper class society just sucked . everyone clawing their way to the top and expectations sucking out all his dreams and ugh——
thrift store paperbacks . a guitar slung over his body . skate parks . sharpie-covered chucks and warped tour summers . jovi ditched the violin and medschool dreams to throw himself into the Vibe and who would’ve thought he’d get hyped all over VINE and insta ? managed to weasel his ass into several hundred thousand followers and millions of views all for an aesthetic . the board’s always been his thing — convenient and cool — and when he started a band with some of his best mates ? dude , his parents were livid but he was on cloud nine . a hot excuse to get the fuck outofthathouse and chase dreams around the country .
pretty face , cool tricks and wicked fingers on the stage . he didn’t want to admit it to his parents , but he kept up with the school . online classes on the bus , stage shows in the morning . yeah , he flunked out , but he’ll never forget the memories of taking final exams drugged out of his mind . one day he blinks awake and realizes like . dude . they’ve made it . failing at blood family , school , and any other career he’s got , this is the only life he knows to protect . he’s gonna ride this wave as long as he can . but how long’s it gonna last ? music might not be his first love , but all that attention is . jovi doesn’t know where he’d go if this all came tumbling down --- so guess he just has to keep pushing .
𝗉𝖾𝗋𝗌𝗈𝗇𝖺𝗅𝗂𝗍𝗒.
talented and idealistic . jovi sticks strongly to his beliefs and doesn’t intentionally set out to irritate anyone . he’s rather distant , “ dignified ” and thinks of himself as intelligent . likes shiny things and gadgets he can toy with , science fiction and philosophy books , modern artwork that looks weird as hell but is colorful enough to catch the eye . trustable with a lock and key for a mouth . clever , adaptable , but more of a backseat viewer than a driver . runs from emotional expression , temperamental in a way that makes him destructively impulsive , and #aloof ( NOT ) from drama . likes #DEEPTHOUGHTS conversations over beer and a smoke , easy listening and ‘80s music . brave as shit on the stage and the board . shy as shit everywhere else . eyes seeing everything and a mouth that’d run a mile a minute if given the chance . muses a lot about the Unknown and doesn’t give two thoughts of the actual ramifications of some of the shit that comes out his mouth ( whatdya mean people listen to him ??? )
hello , babies ! my names peach & this is my baby nix. i’m super excited for this group bc i love lil oc celeb things so i’m happy to be here ! below you can read a little about nix & give this a like for me to come bother you for some plots !

phoenix orion or nix is typically known by just that - nix. doesn’t mind nicknames but usually just goes by nix.
hails from sydney , australia. born to a small family that didn’t have a lot. dad worked during the day and mom worked at night so nix never really saw much of either of them until the weekend. spent most of his time with his older sister. she was 100% his best friend. was a relatively well behaved child. got along with most people. didn’t get into too much trouble , though there were a few detentions here and there.
trigger /// high school is when things got a little rough for him. his parents were going through a hard time & when he was a freshman , they filed for divorce. he leaned a lot on his older sister who had just started college. his family wasn’t exactly the closest knit system , but as he began to go between mom & dads house it got a little difficult for him.
trigger heavy /// when he felt like he finally had a good system , he got a phone call one night that his sister had been in a car accident & within the next 24 hours she had passed away. sixteen year old nix had his word rocked because his sister was his biggest support system. he had a super hard time coping.
within the next two years , he threw himself into music. had already been utilizing social media to get his name out a little bit but hadn’t put a big focus on it. his sister had taught him guitar , keyboard , and they would always sing together & diving into music made him feel closer to her again. together , the band decided that they actually wanted to try to do this professionally. started off making little youtube videos on their own & eventually decided that they needed to make a big decision if they were going to get big.
taking a big risk , nix released a single and moved out to la and exploded with fame. got picked up by a company & immediately fell into a certain image. portrayed as very innocent & kind since he was 18. immediately clung to the idea of being clean & pure. however as he got older & more & more famous , temptations became harder to avoid. so he balanced a party lifestyle privately while upholding his good boy imagine privately. continued to tell fans he would never touch drugs or alcohol but continued to go out & get fucked up & avoid the cameras.
management has had to buy off tons of images on his leaving a club or party drunk or high or both. struggles a lot with losing his sister & turns to things that he shouldn’t to enjoy himself. however , got caught up in the lie he was telling & didn’t have a choice at some point.
fast forward to the exposed and out comes all the pictures he bought off , showing off relationships he shouldn’t have had , & states of being clearly under the influence.
so he’s current stuck in the place of not knowing what to do to get his fans to forgive him : actually get clean , or start being him.
𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮. triggers include : none.
he’s definitely not a bad guy ! struggles with some things but is generally nice. is portrayed as a super sugary sweet innocent boy and isn’t exactly that , but he’s not rude or mean or anything like that. just definitely not as innocent as the media says he is.
publicly surrounds himself with people that’ll make his image look good and privately spends time with people who wouldn’t.
has a pretty decent sense of humor and loves anyone he can laugh with. isn’t exactly the class clown of the group , but will always slip in a little joke here or there if it comes to his head.
a cuddly boy ! as soon as you call nix your friend , you’ll have this entire 6′4 body sprawled over top of you and he will just sleep there. loves body contact and feels more comfortable sleeping next to someone than he does alone.
is basically one big paradox. some people in the industry catch on to the fact that his media portrayal isn’t really him , but he keeps the act going around most people so it’s hard to tell what’s real and what’s not real.
definitely sleeps around a bit , but keeps it on the absolute down low. i’m nearly positive the media thinks he’s still a virgin ( despite saucy lil songs ) and he just lets them.
loves posting on social media and interacts with his fans a lot. preaches about what his management thinks that he should , which is what got him into this whole mess to begin with.

‘ ✫*ﾟLEE HOSEOK , CISMALE , HE/HIM :･ did you hear youngjae baek is joining the cast of exposed after his father threatened to out him for money was revealed ? the twenty six year old actor + model with2.7m of followers is trying to clear their name . they've become known as the resident libertine in the mansion , and it's clear that's spot on because they're quite - secretive & - uncommitted , but also + visionary & + soft-hearted . you know they're heading to the confession booth if you hear blinding lights by the weeknd blasting , most likely talking about how they're more than unzipping nike windbreakers, sore muscles but aching heart, hidden kisses, staying under the shower in hopes the water washes it all away .
ok so first things first,,, youngjae was born in south korea to a single mother. at first he knew nothing about his father and his support system was really just his mom, it had been the two of them together since he could remember it. they were super super close and it was no surprise that jae was just the biggest mama’s kid. things weren’t easy, he remembers his mom working a lot and not seeing her much, of learning how to take care of himself in an early age ,, but the concepts of hardship and money (or the lack of it) are quite hard to grasp as a seven year old.
VIOLENCE TW// jae remembers it was around when he was nine or so that he met the man he was supposed to call dad. until then, he had his moments but for the most part, he was a bubbly and out going little kid. things changed then, and he didn’t understand exacty why but his dad would hang around the house, he would be the one getting groceries ,, and it was weird at first, especially because jae never really had the curiosity to learn about his father before, and then it got even weirder because even though he wasn’t v well experienced in the father territory,, he was pretty sure his dad shouldn’t be hitting his mom or yelling at him all the time. was that what dad did?
growing up,, jae realized that his mother ended up taking his father back looking for a financial support. he learned how money was the one thing that opened the door for all of that crap. at age twelve, jae got his first job and there wasn’t one day that would go by without him trying to convince his mother to leave the house with him, he wanted things to be just like it was-- just the two of them. his father didn’t just yell at him anymore. jae couldn’t let him keep hurting his mother. theather was what held him together,,, it was the only thing at school that made him feel something. he liked to pretend to be somebody else,,, with a different life. acting made him forget about the fear that he felt all the time. it was how he dreamed of changing his own life.,,, and he maDE it after graduation, managing an audition to a famous korean company.
first paycheck was when he and his mother moved out,, and hoped to never see that man again. jae is known for being lead actor in famous doramas and back in south korea, he was beginning to be cherished as the nation’s sweetheart. a few years into his career, his father managed to find him again and that was when the threats began. that was when he began giving him money. at first it wasn’t a big amount. all jae wanted was for him to leave again and never show up. but he kept on coming back and that was when he decided to move to the us, with the reason of focusing on his international career. his company stil had no interest in letting the public know his sexuality, since his public was made largely of females, but he was glad that his mother at least was far away from that monster.
jae’s still scared. he’s been scared for a while now. it’s hard to remember exactly when he began feeling so frightened and just didn’t stop. he’s a good actor and been getting more and more attention with the projects he’s been working on--- he hates how he needs to lie all the time. about everything. he hates feeling so small and unable to be himself. he hates he acts like a whole new person and that’s who people like. he lets out this frustration in the small things he does get to do. he wants to feel free-- he wants to feel like he does things for himself. he knows it’s far from reality but relationships are the core of it-- he falls so deep and enters so quickly;; but gets out of it just as easily, often ignoring emotional responsabilities. he hates feeling trapped. all he wants is to just. be.
hi qts ! i am bon or bonbon or bonners or gay. i am here 2 bring u brand new babu kumiko or mimi. i came up with her idea on a whim and i cant wait to dive deep into her cute but yikes behavior. i am 22, they/he, est. i am currently going 2 be playing broderlands w my bestest friend so i will be kind of slow to ims nd plotting but i will get around to it ! anyway i dont have much else to say about myself besides i’m a proper dumbass, so below the cut u can read about mimi. thank u.
i dont have much for her so pls bare w me ok.
˙✫*ﾟMINA MYOUI , CIS FEMALE , SHE/HER :･ did you hear sasaki kumiko / mimi is joining the cast of exposed after her mom in japan was found paying off album sales was revealed ? the twenty two year old singer with 1.3m followers is trying to clear their name . they've become known as the resident grifter here in the mansion , and it's clear that's spot on because they're quite - guarded & - deceitful , but also + sweet spoken & + warm hearted . you know they're heading to the confession booth if you hear dancer in the dark by chase atlantic blasting , most likely talking about how they're more than barely bruised knuckles, a lone umbrella in the foggy mist, coming up from the deep end of the water, and teary anime eyes . [ ooc : bon , 22 , est , they / he , none. ] voice claim: lauren alaina.
so this is sasaki kumiko aka kimi or mimi aka the fuckin devil in disguise.
she is a 22 year old yeehaw singer from japan ! very unique but i was inspired listening to my own yeehaw music. so she has a lauren alaina voiceclaim.
her label is the grifter which makes me think of destiny 2 because of that hoe but it’s because she is very deceptive. this is evident in how she acts very cute, sweet, and warm to everyone but behind the scenes she is exactly the opposite.
which is why dancer in the dark is such a gr8 song for her. also bump chase atlantic always mk.
i havent dived into her a lot but this is what i have for her so far. she is just outwardly cute, kawaii i guess, and tries her best to be sweet and nice and kind to everyone she meets but has a dark side where she trusts nobody, barely even herself, and doesn’t ever let herself get close to someone in case they break her wall down. almost like she doesn’t want to feel anything ?
mimi has been in the US for a few years now but her career only started about two or so years ago when she put out some singles and then her debut album. more info on this will come asap, bare with me. but her passion has almost always been music, her mother being a driving force behind her coming to the states and starting a career because of the system over here.
this is shown when her “secret” gets revealed. her debut album comes out and it sores to the top of the charts despite her not being a HUGE artist and while nobody questioned it at first, it came into the light via the show that her mother back in her home country of japan had been paying off her album sales which caused her to rise to fame. people are always going to listen to the ones at the top of the charts, mimi knew that, so her and her mother worked together to make the plan.
thing is, once it was ousted that her mother had done this, she turned against her, too, cutting off all contact with her and trying to “clear her name” or act like she had no involvement in this scandal. she is in the clear for now, but she has a feeling it won’t last for long. but every day is a new chance to play off how she fueled her own fame and is now soaring even higher due to the scandal.
most of her fans think she is in the clear while some have lost respect for her entirely because of her mother. but the thing is, it wasn’t only her mother, and like said above, it would only be due time before people started seeing her as suspicious as well. having finally released a brand new single and attempting to work on new music in general despite being in the mansion, she does all she can with her facade every day to make sure people still think she is the cute, kind girl she pretends to be.
ok i feel like this was a mad disaster but it’s here ,, it’s out here ok .. now i have 2 go play borderlands 2 with my friend like i said at the beginning but i will be around poking in between missions seeing what is goin on on the dash :eyes:. love u guys ok. i will be messaging ppl who like my intro so WATCH OUT FOR ME !

date of birth: may 24th 1997

‘it’s the way we are, we were smoking by eleven & knocking ‘round town...’ ( background )
you’re born in 1997, in the north west of england. wilmslow, to be exact. a quaint and affluent town, just south of manchester. the family you’re born into is a comfortable one. not quite living lavishly, but not at all struggling, either. your parents both work in business out in the city. you go to a good school. but... all is not how you exactly want it to be.
see, your parents are quite pushy. they expect you to live how they want, rather than how you do. at the all boy’s academy they enroll you in as a teenager, they expect you to pick what they deem as intellectual subjects, such as foreign languages, further mathematics and computer science. there’s a focus on you becoming someone that makes a lot of money, rather than someone who is happy.
but you’re... not the kind of person that can be molded so easily. you’re a fairly happy-go-lucky kid, but also a rebellious one. your parents’ strict ways of trying to force you down their chosen path, only encourages you more heavily to choose your own.
at fourteen, you meet the guys. lennox, jovi & jasper. they’re some of the only kids at school who can be bothered to be around you, with your high energy and bolshy attitude. really, they’re the only people who embrace you for who you are. they encourage your weirdness and outspokenness. it’s not long before you find yourself wanting to do everything together. it’s not long before the four of you are inseparable.
from there, you fully detach from everything your parents want you to be. you embrace your individuality. you also find the courage and bravery to come out to your parents as non-binary at the age of sixteen. there’s not a single person’s opinion that you’re afraid of, or even care about.
it’s not all rainbows & sunshine, though. you struggle somewhat with anger issues, and a bit of depression. you’re also practically addicted to getting into trouble: picking fights with bullies at school, selling weed & pills to your friends around town, underaged drinking... you get the gist. though you keep your fears internal, you sometimes worry you’ll get nowhere in life.
so of course, the second the boys are talking about starting a band, you’re all in. imagine if you made it big someday? wouldn’t that be sick? you’re immediately drawn to bass guitar, and use a month’s worth of saved up pocket money to pick one up from the big music store in the city. thankfully, you pick it up quite quickly, because before you can even realize it, things are getting so... real. by sixteen, you don’t feel you have the option to stick around at school for sixth form, because drive like i do is already playing local venues and working on its first album.
you’re just seventeen when the album is released. somehow, the climb to fame is faster than you could have ever imagined. it seems like yesterday you were still watching bass tutorials on youtube in your bedroom and practicing in your friend’s garage after school. first is some notoriety across the uk, but before you know it — boom! global stardom. the fame is a heavy weight for someone so young to carry... but fuck it, it’s gonna be fun, and you know it.
you’re twenty-three now, and days are gone of pipedreams formed in your parent’s shoebox room. you split your time between manchester, london, and LA — and that’s just during rare moments of downtime from your world tours. your band is 4 albums in, and whoever hasn’t heard of you might as well have been living under a rock. is it narcissistic to think like that? maybe, but you don’t care. this is rock n’ roll, baby. this is the life.
naturally, all eyes are mostly on your very outspoken frontman. he’s controversial, but the media can’t get enough of him. as for you? to them, you’re... the band’s problem child. while you argue that your behavior is no different than that of your friend, he’s got the lead singer charm. they don’t seem to like you as much. why? well...
you never really coped as well as you acted like you did, did you? while you were grateful for the fame, everything was... a lot, and it was all at once. you didn’t even get the chance to process it.
take four twenty-somethings and add constant prying journalists, paparazzi, and constantly full schedules into the mix. and why not pepper in some typical rockstar vices, too? alcohol, drugs, parties, throwaway sex. things are destined to get a little rocky. though you tried at first not to show it to your fans, your destructive behavior soon got the better of you, and you became known to drunkenly lash out at paps, smash cameras and storm out of interviews when the questions got too personal.
this all came to a head when you were caught on camera several times distributing acid tabs, cocaine and mdma at events, music festivals & awards shows. the press gave the band a pretty bad time over this, and given the other members’ controversies and lennon’s similar link to drugs, it wasn’t a good look for any of you.
it didn’t matter that you had a side to you that was good, pure. that you were always kind and loving and down-to-earth towards your fans and friends. you were a bad seed, and you wound up on exposed with the rest of your bandmates. hopefully you can prove there’s more to you than what the media shows...
‘oh & you say, i’m such a cliche...’ ( personality )
immm gonna rush thru this section & write less formally bc those other parts too me WAY too long
basically a literal toddler. loves a laugh, loves a good time, but get on his bad side and he WILL throw a tantrum
it’s mainly people like press & paps he lets his anger out on. the band’s fans and people he’s close with on a personal level know he’s a good person underneath it all
loves a bit of mischief / rebellion / drama
king of hiding insecurities....
literal softie.... like... who allowed this binch to be so soft. he’s so open about how much he loves his friends (particularly his bandmates) and will platonically kiss and hug and love people all the time, particularly on the show bc he’s trying to show the cameras his softer side dfjghdfdfg
so excitable like WHERE does this kid get all his energy...
( tw drugs ) will probably struggle a bit on the show without access to drugs, but ( tw addiction mention ) he has never really been addicted or dependent on them, just a frequent user.
outspoken as fuck, has no filter sometimes oops
very flamboyant, in line with the general aesthetic of his band but also on a personal level. sports a kind of soft gothic/punk/early 2000s emo look. always paints his nails and wears makeup etc
sleeps around a lot but has never really been able to find a lasting relationship, has just had a bunch of short-lived flings???? but lowkey develops crushes at the drop of a hat and would love to properly fall in love with someone who could be with him forever & accept him for all his flaws, but he highly doubts that will ever happen fgjdhsfg
‘why don’t you figure my heart out?...’ ( wanted connections )
exes on good terms
exes on bad terms ( maybe someone who actually really wanted to stay with him but couldnt deal with his bullshit and now resents him? )
someone who loves the band’s music & inflates his ego ab it
someone he hasn’t seen for years that he’s reunited on the show & maybe they’re revisiting old feelings for each other??? and he wants it to be DIFFERENT this time but also theres shit tons of fucking cameras and shit which... makes things difficult...
first friend he made in LA or in the states in general, someone who showed him the ropes
someone who hates him / hates the band like PLEASE
and also just a straight up enemy maybe?? someone who finds him annoying as fuck??
FRIENDS!!!
literally anything just hmu and lay an idea on me and theres 90% chance ill be down
hello again , angels ! it’s me , peach , with another demon character ! this is sami & he’s probably made of sunshine . as went for nix , please like this & i’ll come offer u my hand in marriage !

sami was born to an english mother & a pakistani father in london , england. they were a close knit , loving couple. didn’t really have much to their name , but they had each other. after having a hard time conceiving , his parents were both so excited when little sami was born.
worth noting that sami was raised muslim by his parents ! he’s proud of his upbringing , but he no longer practices & hasn’t since high school. still very vocal about his upbringing & is proud of his culture.
anyway !
sami was really the poster child for good toddlers. well behaved , kind. kept out of trouble for a while , until he started kindergarten. and then he was a handful for his parents. labels as gifted pretty quickly. always bored and tired of being in school & teachers struggled to find something to enrich him with.
literally just to give him something to do , as sami got a little older they would bring him to little auditions for small commercials. nothing really stuck , but it lighted his spark for being in from of the camera. realized he loved it.
fast forward to sami in high school , doing anything he could to convince his parents to let him get into acting. they weren’t really buying it. weren’t super into the idea.
// death trigger warning. and then , his father passed away from sudden illness. it happened really quickly & he focused on making sure his mom was okay. after that , they both needed a change. she knew that his dream was to be in hollywood & wanted to help him , so they moved out to la. took a while , but finally made it to the states.
// death trigger warning. despite losing his father , he didn’t have the hardest time coping. his biggest concern was his mom. he had always been closer to her & he wanted to make sure she was okay. would do anything to support her and take care of her.
this is really when his personality started to come out. going out , making friends , picking up small acting gigs. was having a hard time finding roles , but was approached by a model agency. after this , he started to get into modeling more.
as soon as he got a small taste of fame , he knew he wanted more. started to catch on to how the headlines worked. so , he started making sure he was seen with important people. did as many shoots , runways , etc. as possible all while dating anyone he could just for the fame. didn’t once date anyone that meant anything to him.
he really didn’t think about what he was doing , he just knew that this would give him fame so he could give his mom a good life. all he cared about was making her proud.
as he climbs in fame for being a serial dater of important figures , he also gathers a name in the modeling industry. after that , starts to get more into acting. finally thinks he can stop dating around just for the follows.
and then it leaks that he wasn’t actually serious about anyone that he dated & that it was just for clout. doesn’t try to explain to the media that it’s for his mom & just agrees to go on exposed and clear his name.

i’m still trying to figure him out so there may be some holes here??? so i’m sorry!
- ezra was born into money and the entertainment industry, being the only child of two entertainment lawyers in the heart of new york city.
- despite his parents professions and the fact that he was raised mostly by a revolving door of nannies the first 12 years of his life, he had a relatively normal upbringing ( something that his parents wanted the most for him ).
- at the age of 5 was when he was enrolled in his first dance class ( after months of begging to the nannies and his parents ) and he immediately fell in love with it. quickly becoming the most skilled dancer in his year.
- the rest of his childhood was spent mostly the same way - dance class every day, new nanny every year or so, his parents trying to convince him to try another sport on a weekly basis and him downright refusing. eventually they gave up trying to sway him and a wall began forming between them. one that even now, is still up and sturdy.
- because of his inconstant upbringing, never really having an authority figure in his life for longer than a year or so and his parents essentially forgetting about his existence until they needed him for some sort of photo op his teenage years found ezra really testing his limits. seeing just how far he could go before someone stepped in and tried to ‘parent’ him. this is really where his disdain for authority and his general recklessness came from.
- it wasn’t until after ezra had graduated high school and came to the conclusion that college probably wasn’t for him that he realized he wanted to own his own dance studio and become a choreographer full time, not doing it as just a hobby anymore.
- so with that ezra spent the next few years working his ass off, making a name for himself around the dance world before his big break finally came. an up and coming artist had seen one of his dances he uploaded on youtube and wanted to hire him to choreograph her new music video which was set to drop later that year. from that point on ezra had become the most sought after young choreographer in the industry with a hefty resume to back him up. his dream of owning his own dance studio becoming a reality only a year later.
- despite how much he had going on in his life and how busy he was practically everyday any downtime ezra found himself with was never spent like true ‘downtime’. never being the type to hang out in his apartment alone watching tv. no, ezra was always out. getting into some sort of mischief with his friends who only enabled his behavior. any indiscretions being nicely swept under the rug by his father.
- that fall at a charity gala for his dads company was where he met greg, his dads business partner of the last few years. in the beginning ezra didn’t really think much of their ‘friendship’ if you could even call it that, the occasional conversation here and there left much to be desired and the boy found himself quickly becoming bored. it wasn’t until after a late night face-time with the man himself that he realized that he could have some fun.
- the next few months found ezra and greg exchanging hundreds of texts, photos and even the occasional video, not one of them being something he could show his mother (if you know what i mean...). there was no romantic feelings (on his end at least) the boy honestly just loved all the attention he was getting. but just as quickly as it started it fizzled out, ezra quickly becoming bored once again and moving on. the whole situation being pushed to the back of his mind despite how often greg would still text him at 3am asking if he was up.
- about a year went by before he was approached to be on a reality show, something that he wanted to turn down despite signing the contract only a couple weeks prior ( he was just too busy, had too much going on in his life to just drop it and be on a reality show for the next couple months). but when his secret was made public to the world he knew that he was stuck and honestly has no idea what he has gotten himself into.
----------
personality.
- ezra can be kind of... a lot to people who don’t know him that well. he always needs to be constantly moving, busy doing something to keep his mind and body occupied because when the boredom hits that’s where the reckless side of his personality comes out. ( something he has been slowly realizing over the past year and been trying to get better about. ) while he does his best to try and curb it that doesn’t always work out in his favor.
- despite all of that ezra is genuinely a good person, maybe a sassy little shit when he wants to be but he is typically always in a good mood. the type of person who can light up a room just by walking into it.
- because of his loud nature he tends to rub some people the wrong way sometimes (he likes to call those people wet blankets.)

background .
christian kwon grew up in laguna beach , california to a pediatrician and an optometrist , so his life was pretty comfortable from the start . he grew up near the beach and in a home that was bigger than what was needed for the three of them , but that was his parents making life comfortable for him .
growing up , christian was the kid who had everything , but never treated people as less than . granted , he went to school with the kids who had larger than life homes of dreamed of getting a mercedes for their sixteenth , but he had friends who didn’t have that kind of lifestyle , and never treated anyone other than the way he wanted to be .
his parents were constantly putting christian into various after school clubs to keep him busy , and this was where he discovered his love for music . he started out with learning how to play the guitar , but then he eventually found himself being pulled towards the drums . christian wasn’t a prodigy by any means , but he took the instrument quite easily .
it was no surprise that during high school , christian decided to start a band . it took a lot of trial and error , and for about six months the band didn’t even have a name . during those six months , the band worked together to find their sound and constantly wrote music together until they eventually found themselves with a small gig where they debuted as after laughter .
the band continued to work towards their dreams , eventually recording their first album ( all we know is falling ) and being a part of the lineup for the warped tour following their graduation from high school in 2011 . following the tour , the band began working on their second album in 2013 ( riot! ) and this was the album that catapulted them into mainstream success due to the singles crushcrushcrush , misery business , and that’s what you get . the album went platinum , and they were nominated for their first grammy .
the group went on their second tour , and took a short break before diving into their third album . they were soon releasing brand new eyes in 2016 , and they were off on their first world tour . during the tour , the band released their ep singles club , and finished their tour a few months later . deserving a bit of rest , the band took a year’s hiatus before returning to the music scene in 2018 with their album paramore . the album spawned four singles , and one of them , ain’t it fun , went on to win the band their first grammy .
later in that same year , the band released their self - titled album after laughter , and went on a nine month tour to perform both albums .
exposed .
during his time in the band , christian found himself a committed relationship . the couple were together for about two and a half years before christian finally proposed , and they were both excited to be getting married . their engagement had been a blissful one , and within two years they were ready to get married . the day came , and christian found himself with cold feet , thus deciding to leave his fiancé without so much of a goodbye before heading out of the country .
christian’s name had been slandered due to his decision , and his management team wasn’t sure of how to fix the error of his ways . therefore , when the opportunity rose , his team had him cast on the show in a way to help clear up speculations about him and as a way to fix the tarnished image he obtained following the end of his engagement .
temperament .
he’s a bit of an asshole . not a bit , he is . christian is very much a smooth talker and knows how to get what he wants due to his charisma . definitely the ‘ mr steal your girl ( or boy ! ) ’ type of smooth talker because that’s what he does best . he’s wildly charismatic and has a very strong habit of saying things he doesn’t mean in order to get what he wants .
his emotional and romantic stunting mostly stems from him purposefully putting up walls that he makes nearly impossible for people to break down . after the ugly ending to his engagement ( and joining the cast of exposed ) , christian has shut himself off from others not only for his image , but because he simply can’t deal with it anymore .
can be quite the meme sometimes . never truly knows what’s going on , but somehow manages to put two and two together . has a really loud laugh when he truly finds something funny , and probably radiates himbo energy like there’s nothing to it . not really a point of his personality , but he’s always finding a way to make something musical ? whether it be drumming his fingers , constantly humming a tune he can’t get out his head , or randomly singing a song when he hears a word from the lyrics .
headcanons .
christian identifies as cis male and as non binary . this is mostly due to the fact that he that he doesn’t identify to any gender , but he acknowledges that he has been socialized as a man . he is fine with someone using he / him / his and they / them / theirs pronouns when speaking to or referring to him .
very much so romantically and emotionally stunted , therefore he bides his time with casual sex and noncommittal acts of romance . typically can be found slipping out of beds in the middle of the night , never returning texts / calls ( or blocking the number entirely ) , and at times ( and considered to be his worst trait yet ) will pretend as though he doesn’t know who the other is .
don’t ask him about technology because he doesn’t know ! despite being twenty - seven he can be quite ... behind the times . the only reason he has the latest gadgets and such is because his management team ensures that he has it .
his stage fashion and off - stage fashion styles tend to differ greatly . when on state , christian can often be seen sporting the typical drummer attire : half - opened button downs , form fitting jeans , vans , and looser tees . in short , he likes for his shirts to be loose as he really gets into playing . as for off - stage , it ends to be a little more refined . he can be seen wearing a touch more designer and he likes layers even when it’s hotter outside . still an avid fan of half - opened button downs , but instead of jeans , he’ll replace them with shorts depending on the weather .
his signature within the band is often dying his fair various colors , with the most common being pink and blonde . he tends to get a perm because he likes his hair to be curly / fluffy , but a slick back with an undercut hairstyle ? chef’s kiss .
he only uses a variety of customized drumsticks and he cannot see ! do not ask him to look at anything when he first wakes up because chances are he will have to get super close in order to see it . typically alternates between his glasses or contacts .
