is this thing on?? okay, so i’m hella late to this intro party but uh! hey there, fellow group members. liz here! i’m nineteen, residing in the CST timezone, and i’ll be playing my babygirl MARITZA FRAZIER, with a fc of phoebe tonkin. THIS IS MY SECOND TIME WRITING HER (OFC UNDER A DIFFERENT ALIAS N NOT W PERRIE THIS TIME ‘ROUND) SO I MAY STRUGGLE TO FIND HER VOICE FOR A SEC OR TWO. she’s practically a modernized heather chandler, y’know, minus the untimely downfall of the queen bitch’s reign ( yikES! ). okay, let’s get into this -- there’s more below the cut!
tw for mentions of death and substance abuse.
ah so u decided to click the read more,,, n*ce. for starters, if you like this post, i will come to you for plotting and that is important stuff!
since she can remember, maritza lived a life full of luxuries due to familial wealth and being an only child. didn’t have a rough childhood by any means, both parents idolized her, which only became a problem later.
wasn’t a problematic child through adolescence, though when she reached her teen years, the love her parents had for her became almost suffocating; à la cliche catholic school girl, maritza found herself hanging around kids that had troublesome pasts furthermore altering her stance on caring parents for the obvious reason being that she hadn’t fit in with the niche.
fast forward a handful of years. at this point, maritza was partying regularly, which meant she was taking in alcohol daily. often she would go to school with a water bottle filled to the brim with her drink of choice. inevitably, she became addicted to the rush the liquor gave her, which entailed both knowing she was breaking from the parents’ control over her and doing something that was illegal.
around the age of seventeen, she started driving and was a novice at it because she was doing so before attaining a license. there were handfuls of warning signs that maritza should have picked up on that either she was oblivious to or was uncaring abt. regardless, there was a night she chooses not to remember wherein she t-boned someone while driving under the influence, which ultimately leading to the death of the person in the wrecked car. after calling the police, maritza called her parents, who were able to pay for her freedom. without even a misdemeanor of driving while under the influence on her record, nicola felt as if she was, too, dying because she couldn’t pay for the mistake she made and the weight of that was crushing.
instead of dealing with those problems in a depressive manner, the girl’s subconscious rewired itself completely. while she was never a necessarily nice girl, maritza’s blood now consisted of the animosity in her heart. it was a route taken to protect herself from her idiotic actions, which she somehow managed to push to the deepest corners of her mind, furthering forgetting the heinous act.
because she is aware that she is undeserving of friendship or anything good in life, maritza pushes others away with what is genuine unkindness but will allow herself to get close to someone ONLY IF she believes it will lead to a sexual rendezvous ( sue me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ). while she may hate herself greatly, she hates others with a far greater passion, believing herself to be better than those around her.
maritza is not like most mean characters who are nice deep down. has a tendency to use others for self-benefit and is hella!!! manipulative and will make a hobby out of destroying anyone that comes into her life so like!! don’t trust this Bitch 4 ur own good!! not an angel, do not pass go
in short, maritza is a bitCH ASS who loves sex but doesn’t want friends
oh and here’s one fun fact: while maritza is technically pansexual, she considers herself a full-fledged lesbian, so do w that what u will
hey hello!! i’m jules and i’m supremely miserable rn bc i’ve been out of uni for the summer for two and a half weeks so far and legit none of my friends live nearby ( & i’m surrounded by snakes kill me pls ) but i’m pumped to be here and to tell you all about jill/jilly bean/a sweetheart™ !! so without further ado ( ?? ) here’s the important stuff but it’s still gonna be a wild ride:
she probably smells like watermelon and roses
.. make what you will of that statement bc idek what i’m trying to get across there lmao
a smol bean with a love for living things
a walking safety hazard whenever she indulges in a whole bottle of wine within a half hour
@ her heavyweight acquaintances: you’ve been warned
grew up the second of four children in an upper middle class family
not rly spoiled but she was privileged nonetheless
used said privilege to get wildly expensive garden supplies, medical journals, etc.. just a lot of good stuff in jill’s opinion, a wonderful investment indeed
can u hear me roll my eyes??
lOVES PLANTS
like she has two shelves and a window pane in her room cOVERED in cacti and herbs and other lil plants ( also has an unexplored kink for bonsai trees, she’s obsessed™ with them )
works as a florist to pay her bills/help her save up for med school and genuinely loves her job, loves the owner, just loves it all
pre-med graduate near the top of her class ( despite being a “c’s get degrees” kinda gal, she’s so in deep with bio clearly ) from ubc and is the happiest soul bc of it
she’s clever with constantly changing approaches to honesty, the irritability of a thirty something year old mother whose kids never stop, looking into the logical side of things a bit too much sometimes, and rly just the most intrusive and overly doting mom friend you’ll ever have
but she’s super easygoing when she’s not in mama bear mode, sincere, always smiling, and is generally comfortable with herself
the type to call herself out but at the same time have a hard time admitting she’s wrong about who won the 1977 stanley cup ??
always there if you need someone to talk to and only hopes it’s reciprocal
bc jill’s been through some shit these past couple of years hOLY
long story short, her mom, aunt and uncle ( by marriage ) were lowkey drug dealers working out of their family-owned antiques shop
no one in the family knew for the longest time, but the huge wads of cash that her mom claimed were from commissions for selling some of her paintings ( also, mama macrae’s an art hoe working in a small gallery ) didn’t always go unnoticed
this happened from when jill was seventeen to just before she turned twenty one
bc that’s when they got arrested for drug trafficking
they’re in the middle of the trial and jill p much ran away from the disaster that is her family rn
bc she can only take so much, she’s but a smol bean
paying for lawyers for his wife, helping to put a kid through uni and keeping up with expenses for basic needs for two other kids and himself had her dad struggling to make ends meet, so jill started working at the florist’s to pay for her education
she even moved into a smaller apartment because she still wasn’t making enough in her opinion and debated taking a couple of years off of school
currently lives off of your standard struggling student diet, subtract the occasional large gfangs bc she has to invest in her medical journals ofc
also watches over the munchkins and goes above and beyond for them bc she loves her family sm, even though this whole thing’s reaching a breaking point
saw that her dad couldn’t put much into their resps so she started adding some of her earnings to it bc she wants them to do well later on and every cent counts ??
she’s the apothecary for a reason, she’s just really selfless for the people she cherishes
so she’s making the most of the vacation here bc she hasn’t gotten a real break from everything and just wants to be pampered for once
last couples of quick facts
loves memes but also fucking hates memes
send her kermit memes and she’ll prob go on a tirade js
would die for sarah reese, aka probably the only tv doc that foreshadows her future as a med student lmao
pasta is her fave
like make her a pasta dish on the second date and she’ll contemplate marrying you then and there
prob the only adult that can still stomach cotton candy, also prob the only person that can eat peeps without complaining about them being death via sugar
caffeine hoe
art hoe
science hoe
a hoe of all trades tbh
doesn’t understand the hype behind some viral songs
doesn’t understand the hype behind most things
ok this got hella long so in conclusion,
protect her
don’t tread lightly, but also don’t break her spine pls
that.. was a mess, but that’s basically it! i can’t wait to rp with you guys and if you’d like to plot, just hmu!!
[ DEV PATEL ] - edison scott is a twenty-six, cismale known as the vespertine, and that’s because he is lively and fearless trait as well as head-strong and cynical. he is enjoying his stay at the isle of gemini, a long way from their hometown of name of new york, new york. ( chloe, eighteen, she/her, cst )
hello, i’m chloe !! complete meme trash. not really any other way to escribe me other than those two words. meme, and trash. but you’re all not here for me, you’re here for my son eddie, who is a literal dirty gift to this world. u just need to dust him off and wash his hair but he’s good i promise !! so below you can read all about him! so give this a spicy like to plot!
he was adopted as a baby by a lovely anne and vicky scott. two precious lesbians who wanted to start a family at the age of twenty-six. eddie was the first to come along, always the prized gem of the family. but the two women had a lot more love to share.
so next came his little brother chris, and then even later, his twin brother and sister, kat and sam. all three of his siblings--- unlike eddie--- were taken directly out of the system an into the loving arms of his mother’s. his siblings were taken in at a later age, and had already seen the roughs of the world by an early age. his mother’s told him he had to provide just as much love as they did. to put it simply, he did not fall short.
he loves his siblings to the end of the earth, and coming from an LGBT family, and being children of color, they were typically at the bottom of society’s shoe. looked own upon frequently. eddie had to be the model brother for them all.
but he had a lot of anger inside of him. the world didn’t always treat them well and eddie couldn’t stand up for his mother’s, an he stood up for his brothers and sister where it was due. not to mention eddie stood up for himself. it caused for fights, an after he saw his mother’s crying over his black eye and broken knuckles, he knew it was time to change.
he channeled that energy into boxing. in high school, he began fighting in the ring to get out what he felt in life. he was good too, after enough training, the got him fighting for real. of course, his mother’s weren’t too keen on the idea of him beating people up, and getting beat up in return.
eddie didn’t look at this as a hobby. by the time of graduation, he knew he’d be going to college for fitness training. he explained to his mother’s this was not going to be something he did for fun. it was a sport, and a controlled one at that. they grew more comfortable then, and gave him their blessing. eddie probably wouldn’t have been able to do it without their approval
anyways, fast forward, he’s got his degree, works full time as a boxing instructor, fighting when it was due (eddie wasn’t a guy to really go big-leagues, that’ probably kill his mothers). he wasn’t exactly taking care of his siblings, but he was around--- a lot. eddie always stayed close to make sure they were okay and not getting in trouble. most of his life consisted of boxing, his family, and burritos.
he never took a lot of time for himself, to figure much of anything out. it was okay at the time, eddie never really noticed until the past year or so, now that kat and sam are off to college on their own, and his moms are insisting their oldest boy focus on his own life. he never took interest in his true culture, he never figure out who he was attracted to, never thought about if he wanted to live in the same part of new york his whole life. never thought about the fact that not having friends was really lonely.
it wasn’t until his mother’s surprised him with a trip to some island that he decided things were to change. really change. he’s taking this opportunity as a moment to lea into the next Big chapter of his life.
there u go !! there’s my sweet boy for you !! i’ll be adding this onto my blog shortly, and put more when i think of more. i’m excited to be here !!!

- Samson Blackwell, 23, from Brighton, England
- He grew up an only child and his parents were both doctors and they weren’t around much when he was growing up. His grandparents practically raised him and he’s still super close to them.

-Samson is a super laidback, pretty quiet guy. he’s not one to get into trouble or start fights or anything. He hates confrontation.
-He’s the most caring guy you’ll ever meet, though he doesn’t always express it or speak out about it. But he’s always there when people need him and he tries his best to make everyone happy
-i love him
-if you wanna plot hmu i promise i’m a good time !!!!!!
It’s Zo! Ready to hear about Evan?! I’m writing this half asleep, but I can’t sleep, so I’m writing it now. I apologize ahead of time if something makes zero sense. Also Evan is one of my favorite male muses and I’ve had him a while now, so please love him.
[ THEO JAMES ] - EVAN REYNOLDS IS A THIRTY-TWO YEAR OLD, CISMALE KNOWN AS THE GUARDIAN, AND THAT’S BECAUSE HE IS PROTECTIVE AND OBSERVANT AS WELL AS STUBBORN AND NOSEY. HE IS ENJOYING HIS STAY AT THE ISLE OF GEMINI, A LONG WAY FROM THEIR HOMETOWN OF NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK. HE NEEDED THIS VACATION TO GET THEIR MIND OFF PUTTING HIS FRIEND IN JAIL.
Now let me attempt to elaborate on him.
Evan has always had a huge passion for criminal justice. When he was little, he was always wanting to solve cases and help people out. He dreamt about being a detective but he knew he would have to start from the bottom. He first worked at a call center during college and then went to the police academy. After graduating, he officially became an officer. It took him a while before he became a detective, but the minute he did, he was thrilled and proud of himself.
He came to Gemini because of his passion for his work. It takes it seriously, sometimes too seriously. His friend was involved in drug dealing and Evan knew about it. He found out doing his work and he hated that he found the information. He struggled for weeks whether or not to tell his boss about it. He cared a lot about his friend, but he knew if they found out and he was hiding something, he’d get in trouble for withholding evidence. So, he turned his friend in and hoped he could talk to the DA to give him a deal or a lighter sentence.
He’s one of the most protective people you can meet and it helps a lot with his line of work. He is always wanting to protect people. If he sees something wrong, his first instinct is to evaluate the problem and see if he can help the person. If someone is hurt or in danger, he does everything in his power to fix it.
He thought that being on the island would be good for him, a way for him to get his mind off of turning in his friend. He thought he wouldn’t have to think about his job, but then someone went missing and he went into detective mode. He interviewed literally everyone he could find and he was coming up clueless. He got suspicious of Amelia (I know don’t judge.) because she had been really weird the night of the party. So he’s been keeping an eye out on that one.
He knows how to be stubborn and he is a very nosey person. He liked to know everything that is going on because it helps fill his hierarchy of needs. He feels protected and safe if he knows what is going on. Secrets are not something he likes. In his experience, secrets are what got people hurt, what got people put in dangerous places. So when he feels someone is hiding something or acting suspicious, he needs to know what it is.
He identified as pansexual, but is more of an emotional person. He doesn’t like casual relationships or flings. He’s the kind of guy who wants to settle down, get married, have a family - the whole shebang. He tends to fall for people easily but then he usually gets himself hurt because he is always so far ahead of his partner.
He is open for plotting with literally anyone, so just send me an IM!
