CHARACTER INTRODUCTIONS

Sarafine McCraven, 29

Sarafine is an entomologist who loves nothing more than hanging around all day doing jack shit. As the oldest child to a brood of 5 younger siblings, she claims she's dealt with enough children for the rest of her life. She finds herself in positions of responsibility quite frequently, but it’s undeniable that she can get things done. Her blunt and direct attitude can be intense for those unfamiliar, but she finds that beating around the bush can waste precious time she could be spending laying around doing nothing. Her hobbies include bug taxidermy, sleeping, and, uh, yeah, that's it. She lives with her long time partner, Victor.

Mordecai McCraven, 26

Mordecai, the second child of six, has always found himself somewhat lost amongst the crowd. He came out in late high school, and among unpleasant reactions from his classmates, found a supportive world of trans people online where he’s mostly been after since. Some time after a personal tragedy, he dropped out of school and withdrew into his room, only coming out for mandatory events and vegan smoothies. Staunchly dedicated to his own strict set of personal rules, he can occasionally forget that not everyone cares where their organic quinoa is sourced. He really likes Final Fantasy, Lord of the Rings, Legend of Zelda, and has been sent death threats for his opinions many times.

Rory McCraven, 25

Rory is a problem. By far the rowdiest of his siblings, he’s never been able to really make a connection with the rest of his ‘sensitive’ family. He loves to party, indulge in just about every substance he can find, and commit some light crimes. Despite his many hungover days, he’s a surprisingly good car mechanic who only overcharges if he thinks he can get away with it. Don’t ask him about his brief incarceration following some family events. He pretends he doesn’t know what you’re talking about. Currently casually seeing about 3 different girls and 2 different guys. And anyone else who’s interested.

Xavier McCraven, 24

Something is deeply wrong with Xavier, but no one has been able to pry it out of him. Once a somewhat shy and indignant child, he’s grown into a depressed, monotone, wholly uninterested adult chainsmoker. He works as a line cook, exercises obsessively, and does very little else. Although it’s unspoken, it’s clear losing everything as a teenager and the subsequent family fallout destroyed him to his core. He doesn’t talk to his father anymore for reasons nobody knows. The only person who ever really understood him moved away years ago, and who knows if he’ll ever meet her again.. He lives in a crappy studio in the most intense male living space situation you can imagine.

Christopher McCraven, 24

The opposite of his twin brother, Christopher lives every day like it's the best day of his life. Optimistic, friendly, and always willing to give a second chance, this guy would give you the shirt off his back in any weather. He owns a small baking company with his girlfriend Christina, and they operate out of his childhood home. Say what you want about his cooking skills, his ability to bake a perfect strawberry mango cheesecake is unparalleled. He holds out hope that he can reconnect his family, even if all of the odds are against him. Like, really, really against him. More likely than not hiding a deep sadness, but he would rather talk about literally anything else.

Leannie McCraven, 20

Leannie is the youngest in her family by a huge margin, due to the fact that she was an accident. With four older brothers and an overprotective oldest sister, Leannie practically grew up like a princess. Maybe this attitude actually helps her out in life, because she never hesitates to speak her mind and will never accept any treatment less than what she deserves. In a family like hers, you have to be a little manipulative to survive. Despite this, she’s pretty easy to get along with. Where her older sister Sarafine is blunt and mean, Leannie is blunt and only a little bit mean. At least she can remember to smile and play nice. Recently enrolled in college to become a pediatric nurse.

Victor Ramoso, 30

Victor, life long best friend and partner to Sarafine, enjoys nothing more than to be politely ignored. Quiet, thoughtful, and surprisingly exasperated, they’ve reached a point in their relationship where words don’t even feel necessary. They work as a graphic designer, which is their passion, but also their burden. Victor feels most at home in the woods, camping, hiking, and taking 600 pictures of the same cool bug from different angles. They love the peacefulness of an autumn sunrise, and will wake up at ungodly hours to experience it. Don’t ask them about their relationship with their dad or their stepdad or their granddad or dad-in-law or maybe just any dad.

Jasper Velasco, 27

A friendly and extremely observant man, Jasper is an expert at people watching. He has an innate love for humanity and cherishes little moments of connection, despite his occasionally evil actions towards his exes. After coming out very early in his teenage years, Jasper has had plenty of time to become confident in himself and his self described ‘fuckboy fits’. He has a habit of being attracted to people who don’t immediately open up to him, maybe because he loves the chase, or maybe because he wants to be the one to coax them open. Victor’s best friend and confidant, he knows much more about the McCraven’s than he lets on. Maybe he wants to see where it goes? Who can say!

Genie Bautista, 23

A lifelong avid reader, Genie has a deep love of murder mysteries, fantasy romances, and even a touch of disturbing short stories inbetween. Graduated with a major in communication, she struggles to drudge up even the slightest bit of enthusiasm for her degree. Longs to be a writer, but has been beaten down the same anti-creative sentiment of ‘get a real job’ for her entire life. A child of divorce, Genie lived with her single father for a number of years, which surely couldn’t have made her any worse at sharing her emotions. The last person she really felt close to has been separated from her for years, and who knows if she’ll ever meet someone who truly gets her like that again.. Currently living alone in what can only be described as a male living space, but for girls.

Christina Rosander, 26

Christina is the embodiment of all things feminine. She loves anything and everything cutesy, after spending so much of her pre-coming out life repressing her true feelings about how much she adored Hello Kitty and friends. Growing up in a tumultuous home led to her running away soon after she reached adulthood. Because she lived in New York for most of her life, she decided the best way to avoid her family was to leave the country altogether. She met Christopher on her first trek into Canada on a bus headed towards.. well, she doesn’t really remember. A casual invite from an overly kind stranger very quickly turned into a date, which turned into several dates, which turned into a fairytale romance she could never have let herself experience years prior. She hasn’t seen her parents in years, and frankly, she never needs to again. Not that they’d recognize her anyway.
