collins schuyler (thirty-one » er doctor » amber heard)
classy but sassy, queen of shade, everything she says sounds like a back-handed compliment, constantly complaining about the idiots who come into the er, carries a bunch of lollipops in her lab coat pocket to hand out to the grown men who bitch and moan, not good with emotions, believes actions speak louder than words, drawn towards drama and “”complicated”” relationships, prone to road rage, drinks wine like it’s water.
needs: doctor friends, other cynic friends so they can hate on people together, exes, flings, maybe a bf or a gf idk!!!
welcome to a stupid request. the best kind. so shiloh findlay spent most of her summers as a teenager at camp edgewood - which is a camp like 20 minutes south of magnolia where she essentially made all of her life long best friends. deadass will probably play the camp edgewood camp song when she walks down the aisle if she ever gets married. all of the following people have basically just been stupid involved in each others lives for the past 15 or so years.
so camp edgewood is some 20 minutes south of magnolia, like i said. it’s a camp specifically for girls, while camp firewood is basically its brother camp - located on the same lake, but meant for boys. the camps have since merged - the did like a decade ago and everyone has been bitter about it as hell since it happened tbh. basically they got up to to way too much shit. lots of sneaking out to see each other past curfew. the camps did a lot together - camp outings, camp parties, camp activities etc etc etc, so they all wound up just spending too much time together. they were grossly codependent during the summers, and had separation anxiety when the fall came and they all went their separate ways. although i imagine most of them grew up in magnolia so they went to school together as well, BUT not the same!! they all became counselors in training when they turned 15 and then counselors for a while after that. i’ve got some more intricate detailed stuff for subplots and all that mess but plz feel free to add more. make it a huge mess w me. faces are open. ages should be 27-28. love me plz.

grew up memorizing bible verses in church on sundays, sitting with her legs crossed at the ankles, adding an instinctive “yes ma’am” or “yes sir” to every sentence that came out her mouth, and no matter that she’s grown up — that shit’s stuck with her. she still winces when she curses, still worries about hellfire and, even if she knew he would have hated it, still prayed to God when her brother died.
she’s not sure if she believes in God, not anymore, but she believes in lots of other things. she’s a believer by nature, something she’s never been able to quit no matter how bad the universe tried to push her hand. she believes in love, in texas sunsets, in the sureness of routine. to hell with religion, but she wants to believe there’s something out there.
loren’s always been a third wheel, the unofficial triplet to her two brothers’ true twinship. she’s used to sitting on the outskirts of a group, of a conversation. cripplingly shy and painfully awkward, she’s also got the curse of being absolutely selfless and sweet. she lives for the benefit of other people (which she should really work on, but she wouldn’t even know how to start).
her mother took her to the doctor when she was fifteen because she thought loren was being possessed by Satan himself - turns out she was just having an anxiety attack, which seemed much less interesting to her. wouldn’t it be cooler to be possessed than to find out you have anxiety?
never had any desire to leave texas or even magnolia. this is her safe space, somewhere she knows. she likes that she can run into her second grade teacher in walmart and have a half hour conversation, or that she knows the walk from her parents’ house to the high school from muscle memory. sameness is what keeps her sane and even if that’s not really cool, it’s what she is. if staying the same meant she needed to forgo college and travels, so be it.
her brother died within the past month and, god, she’s reeling... she had to be hospitalized when she found out, the anxiety so bad she thought her heart had stopped and her stomach had turned inside out, which only made her feel more guilty than she’d instinctively felt. now, she’s trying to piece her life back together, trying to figure out who exactly she is when just about a third of herself feels like it’s been ripped from her.
[ needs ] friends!! she genuinely wouldn’t know what to do without other people around her, and with her brother’s death she’s especially lost. she’s a really nice, sweet little gorl so i think she has the potential to have a really strong support system that could really pull her through it?? at the same time i think she would be the #1 person to attract negative people into her life - she’ll take anyone she can get and has no concept of letting toxic people go, so give me all the people to take advantage of her lmao. give me a long-term ex-boyfriend where they loved each other a Lot but just weren’t ever going to work out and are still friends that hang out and wonder if it’s love or friendship. give me girls that like girls and are secure in that who can teach her to be secure in her sexuality too!! coworkers at young, taylor and anderson that she can gossip to and feel like the petty bitch she always wanted to be!!
yes there are twelve kids in the MONTGOMERY family, no they are not all playable. some of them are not even montgomerys at all, but step siblings, and the youngest three are half siblings. i would love if the step siblings were poc and the youngins were mixed but that’s not necessary. all i ask is that the step siblings have a different aesthetic, so not blonde with light eyes etc. there are two sets of twins, the youngest npc half siblings and a set of 28 year old montgomerys.
since montgomery is a long name, dad montgomery and his first wife decided to give all of their kids three letter names. and it just so happened that his second wife’s kids all had three letter nicknames. parents names are super open though!
NOTE: the oldest full montgomery daughter was in a car accident about eleven years ago so that’s something that they would all remember/be affected by.
kit’s mom died when she was a baby and she doesn’t really remember her. mr. montgomery never thought he’d find love again but then he met his second wife and fell in love. in my head he’s a mailman and she’s a teacher or school counselor or something like that. everything about the step kids’ dad and life before the marriage is up to whoever takes the kids. i’m rambling now but please give kit her siblings and step sibs and half sibs and all the things.
some three letter name ideas: abe, ace, ada, aja, ali, amy, ava, bea, bee, ben, cal, cam, cas, dan, dax, eli, eva, eve, fay, gus, ian, ivy, jax, jay, joy, kai, lea, leo, liv, lyn, may, mia, mya, nat, noa, oli, rey, rob, sam, sky, tod, toy, van, wes, zoe
face claim suggestions for montgomerys: dominic sherwood, amber heard, chris hemsworth, johanna braddy, liam hemsworth, teresa palmer, austin butler, candice king, bill skarsgard, claire holt, daniel sharman, riley voelkel etc.

this is a request for employees of a local gas station!! pls keep reading. // on the outskirts of magnolia, as you’re driving back from austin, there’s the worlds most nondescript looking gas station. it’s just a few miles outside of town, down the road from the first motel in magnolia, and it always seems to attract it’s own fair share of daytime weirdos, late night drug addicts, truckers, and travelers alike.
it’s not the cleanest place in the world, or the cheapest, but it’s there and it’s convenient...ish. they sell your typical snacks--candy, chips, overpriced bottles of soda. cigarettes, too, if you ask the attendant nicely (though you might not get a nice answer in response, depending on when you drop by). there’s a coffee pot for weary travelers, but there’s usually more cigarette butts than coffee in it.
the sign outside of the building only half lights up, and though the owner says he’s working on it, he’s been saying that for two years now. he doesn’t seem to care about much other than making money and coming in every day at exactly 6 o’clock to pick up his after-dinner pack of cigarettes. he’s sleazy and sexist, but nobody says anything anymore so long as their pay checks are on time (and they almost always aren’t. but, at least he doesn’t take out taxes).
currently, there’s 5 employees, working on a rotation in various 8 hour shifts so that the place can stay open 24/7. the first anyone learns working here is how to use the shotgun behind the counter. there's been two attempted robberies in the past three years, and the owner will fire anyone who lets there be a third. there's also a baseball bat hidden somewhere in the back office, though calling it an office feels a bit generous. it’s really a room the size of a closet with a small plastic table and matching chair (chair, singular), a rotational fan, and a small 2002 television with a vhs player built in.
there’s two security cameras, one outside and one inside, but whether or not they have a tape in them is a crap shoot. though they’ve all have had different experiences, there’s something all 5 employees can agree on: anything and everything can, will, and has happened here, and you’re just lucky if you’re not around to see it.
as mentioned, there are currently 5 employees: 3 full time employees, and 2 part time employees. they all keep the same shifts and schedule every week, which you can view here. there’s no benefits to this job, unless you count being able to shoplift cigarettes and cheap beer without question a benefit, no pto, no vacation, nothing just...cash, delivered in a yellow envelope each week in the back office with your name on it, no taxes taken out, no questions asked. if you want time off, you have to plead and beg someone to take over your shift, and pray that they say yes.
the employees can be pretty open, though you have to be at least 21 to work here, given they sell alcohol, and i’d like to see some age diversity (give me a 30 year old who’s bored with their life and hates that they’re working at a gas station of all places for $8 an hour, or a 45 year old who is almost overly chipper about working here every day, please). and at least two of the remaining three employees should be male. the owner’s pretty sexist and always seems surprised whenever one of the female employees is working and manages to not burn the place down from her womanly hormones, constantly asks if they’re ‘’on the rag’’, and no one even bothers telling him about the creeps and weirdos that come by anymore because he just laughs in their face.
after that, everything from face to personality to what they do in their free time to how they interact with the other employees is really open. it seems like their shifts were designed to be as inconvenient as possible, it’s a thankless job, the pay is shit, the customers are often bizarre at best and yet somehow, they’re all here anyways. it’s the kind of office bonding you won’t get anywhere else.
again, you can view the schedule here (and..yes..i really did make a schedule i can’t help myself), and feel free to message me if you’d like for your character to work in any of the existing slots!

a little bit of everything? she has a little group of childhood best friends ready to go but she was born and raised in town and very, very popular during high school. the type of popular that normally had people on their toes because she seemed equal parts untouchable due to her "status" and approachable based on her generally ... upbeat and sociable persona. so: i could see her having a handful of friends that she made back then and also that she made... over time: in childhood, after high school ended. people that she knows through her family or siblings, yada yada. she's also dated a LOT so exes galore and maybe a few one night stands and friends with benefits to go along with it. gender doesn't really matter though she's mostly dated cis guys over time.
