☁️🌷✨ hello lovelies !! i'm mary (she/her) and i'm supah hyped to be here. i cnt wait for y'all to meet my bby hana and hopefully you’ll love her as much as i do. if u wanna plot be sure to give this a ♥ and ill smoothly slide into ur dms or u can hmu if u want !!
- ̗̀ hey, is it SIWOO HANA that you’re looking for? you know, the TWENTY TWO year old FREELANCE PHOTOGRAPHER. typically i see them hanging around GRISTOL POINT so you could try there! i hear they’ve been in living in SAUGATUCK for HER WHOLE LIFE. gristol wouldn’t be the same without them, right? anyway, whenever i see them they make me think of EARLY WINTER MORNINGS, SUN KISSED CHEEKS, WARM COFFEE SHOPS & VANILLA SCENTED CANDLES. ̖́-
basically...
hana was adopted when she was a newborn by the siwoo's due to them having trouble conceiving. fun story: not long after her mom got pregnant w gray on accident.
she’s v grateful towards them for taking her in but also feels like its her life mission to make them proud so that they never regret adopting her.
hana’s an overachiever. she always aims to be #1 at everything she does. she’s super competitive and her report card prolly had a+ and god forbid an a- in there lmao. it’s all in with her, no take backs.
she’s currently following after her mom’s footsteps and is studying to become a lawyer. her dad’s the mayor of the town and holds a lot of expectations towards her future. he tries to bring her w him whenever he can so she can further her connections in the political world.
she puts her fam above everything and is overprotective of them ( if u hurt gray prepare to receive a world of pain ). especially after her mom passed away due to leukemia when she was 14-15 yrs old. seeing as gray was the most affected by her death, hana chose to lock away all her feelings bc she knew she had to be strong for the both of them.
she never let herself grieve properly. she suffers from insomnia due to it but she pretends she’s fine :)))
hana became interested in photography as a way for her to unwind and find some peace from her daily life. it was meant to be a temporary hobby but she ended up loving it sm that she does it whenever she can. since she’s p good at it, from time to time she works as a photographer for events or does some photoshoots. but she keeps it as a secret bc she feels her dad wouldnt approve.
personality wise
hana’s mature for her age. she had to grow up fast and take care of her fam from a young age.
she’s v good at hiding her emotions and tends to come off as aloof and cold at times. she’s blunt when she speaks and tells it like it is. she dsnt mean to be rude tho ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ its just the way she is.
she can also be a smart ass so i apologize in advance. tho once u get past her tough exterior shes a sweet and caring person but its hard for her to trust and open up to others.
not that anyone asked for a long hair grease covered demon , but here he is , in the flesh !! this honestly ..... derailed completely from which i had originally planned , but sometimes they just take over their own bios u know. so pls enjoy ty york + give this a like if you’d like to plot !
⌈ harry styles, cismale, he/him ⌋ hey, is it TOBIAS ‘TY’ YORK that you’re looking for? you know, the TWENTY-FIVE year old MECHANIC. typically i see them hanging around KNOCKOUT GYM so you could try there! i hear they’ve been in living in ROSELL PARKS for FOUR YEARS. gristol wouldn’t the same without them, right? anyway, whenever i see them they make me think of DIRTIED WHITE SHIRTS, HANDS COVERED IN GREASE AND BRUISES, WIDE SMILES WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT THEM & TIRED EYES HIDDEN BEHIND SUNGLASSES.
QUICK STATS :
full name : tobias andrew york.
nicknames : ty or just york.
ethnicity : white ( english )
sexuality : pansexual / panromantic
occupation : mechanic, lyricist.
QUICK FACTS :
tobias york was born in bristol , england to a loving ( relatively loaded ) family
he’s got two older sibling and one younger sibling , so they’re a decently sized family with differing personalities. ( these are all wcs ! )
the york family is a relatively wealthy family , and ty never let that go to his head.
speaking of ty , he prefers ty or just going by york over tobias. people always pronounce it wrong and its a bit stuffy for him. just ty works.
im gonna be honestly i keep calling him york so it’ll be a mix of ty + york.
anyway. lil ty here always felt kinda of like the black sheep of his family. never really wanted to follow the family grain of luxuries and money.
instead , he wanted to write poetry and songs and he wanted to build and create things in his room.
he always told his dad he was going to be an inventor and his dad promptly laughed at him.
though always a tight nit family , the york family was at a split when their parents filed for divorce when york was only fourteen.
it was a bit of a debate on what really happened - though their dad claims their mom cheated , ty knew in his heart she didn’t.
tys younger and two older siblings were more on their dads side ( i imagine the youngest just kinda sided w/ the oldest ) and stayed with him in their large flat and ty and their mom went off and got a little apartment
the family was at a divide for the longest time. though the three other york siblings remained pretty close , ty isolated himself.
at eighteen ty went to college and got an english degree - he didn’t really know what he wanted to do. in the mean time, he had been learning how to work on cars and worked as a mechanic as a way to make money.
death tw coming up !
about six years ago tys mom fell ill + it started to bring her and the yorks dad back together again.
death tw. they only got about two years back together before she passed , but they were glad they mended things.
with the passing of their mom and their dads new leaf, the york siblings decided they wanted to try and mend things themselves.
ty had melded himself to be very closed off, very untrusting, and he immediately left england and went to the states.
he needed a new start after losing his mom and wasn’t really up for a big family get together. he did , however, let his family know where he was and eventually, all the york siblings ended up in gristol in the last four years
tys personality changed a lot over the years but he’s getting more open then he used to be
doesn’t like to talk about himself that much
he still works as a mechanic but is also a lyricist / ghost writer type but doesn’t work Too Heavily in that field.
will play the occasional gig bc he likes to sing, but not often.
white shirt + leather jacket aesthetic
PERSONALITY :
ok so his background has caused him to be a bit closed off + and a little gruff
however he has his Moments that happen completely randomly
he likes making people smile when they least expect it
has stupid silly moments that only close friends too
idt i’d say he’s a complete dick - i’m sure he comes off that way , but he’s not.
he isn’t super trusting - honestly he’s not trusting At All though he doesn’t make it a big thing , just know that he probably doesn’t trust you
he’s also really, really bad with relationships. he’s got some commitment issues due to a fear of abandonment so his mentality is abandon before being abandoned. usually sticks to hooks up to avoid hurting people.
gets easily annoyed and is vocal about it.
i would write more but its 1 am and im Tired so this is what i offer u
WANTED :
mayhaps a Roommate - he just kinda showed up to gristol with no plan so maybe they answered his ad - or he answered theirs and they hit it off.
his siblings + ex which are listed on the main.
friends, various ex-flings, fwb/ex-fwb, maybe an exish type. would also really enjoy a will they won’t they kinda thing. someone that ‘breaks’ their car a lot. maybe a coffee buddy. some drinking friends, video game friends, etc.
ok so we back at it again with my second and newer son prince !! he’s my soft boy compared to the hobgoblin that is charlie so pls luv him !! i’ll stop my ramblings to spare u all but u all know the drill ... tap that lil heart if u wanna plot and i’ll pop right on over to ur im’s !!
⌈ jung wooyoung, cis male, he/him ⌋ hey, is it PRINCE YEUN that you’re looking for? you know, the TWENTY year old STUDENT. typically i see them hanging around LICKETY-SPLIT! so you could try there! i hear they’ve been in living in PRINCETOWN for SIXTEEN YEARS. gristol wouldn’t the same without them, right? anyway, whenever i see them they make me think of THE LASTING SCENT OF CINNAMON GUM, TIRED EYES HIDDEN BEHIND GLASSES, DYED HAIR WITH HIS ROOTS BEGINNING TO SHOW, & CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKES WITH EXTRA WHIPPED CREAM.
STATS
full name: prince yeun / nicknames: mainly just prince / ethnicity: korean / sexuality: bisexual / occupation: student & barista / spoken languages: korean, english, german, & conversational spanish / hogwarts house: ravenclaw / current hair color: lilac
BIOGRAPHY
okie dokie so first things .. prince’s Look is in the gif i used bc im whipped for wooyoung in these glasses and his hair is a cute lil newly dyed shade of lilac purple so i love that for him .. an intellectual and a cutie .. he hates explaining how he was named prince bc i imagine his parents struggled having a kid so when his mom became Pregnant and was giving birth .. they always fondly called him their lil prince and it kinda just stuck when prince popped out !!
prince was born and raised in ansan , south korea for a good four years of his life where his mom was a tax accountant who moved from busan and his dad was a marine biologist in the korea institute of ocean science and technology , they loved one another v much and managed to juggle their respective careers with their relationship before prince came along
eventually his mom got heH $$$$ a good job offer in new york city so his dad stayed at home following their move to take care of the house and whatnot until he managed to finesse himself another job as a fish biologist for the department of the interior / u.s wildlife service or w/e the official job title is
bc living in the city is uHHH expensive as h*ck and ny state taxes are whack , they find themselves in gristol bc at the time it’s a cute lol seaside town that his parents fell in love w and thought it was good to raise prince and their other kids
prince was always a fun loving kid when he was younger , always joking around and smiling and got along w people well flexed w those dimples and got away with a lot of shit when he was growing up fkdfsskl swindled a lot of extra tips from restless married women when he had a job delivering pizza’s for $$ during high school . peter parker who ?? prince can’t relate bc he was always on time and made that solid tip .. except when he realized he hated pizza delivery and got a job as a barista during high school and it’s what he does still for that $$ while he;s in school !!
academically prince was brilliant and was in the top 5 of his graduating class and it was his stupid grade in his elective art class that brought his gpa down bc he can’t draw anything to save his ass fndsj .. any stem subject and he’s golden but anything creative based and prince is not as thriving .. but put a math problem in front of him and he can solve it within a moment .. probably does a side gig during tax season to help ppl out filing their taxes and makes some $$ while doing so jfhdslk
but yeah for college prince attends baruch college where i s2g he has no sense of what’s fun or self preservation bc goes as a double major for chemistry and biology so keep prince in ur prayers at this point bc dude is gonna be running on his anxiety and caffeine at this point and he still is until he graduates next year
at this point prince is juggling some ideas of what he wants to do later on as a career path and then one night he’s pulling an all nighter he stumbles across the show forensic files and a bitch is shook and hooked on it ,, this beginning prince’s fascinating w true crime along with solving them
he figures in john mulaney’s ever lovely words “ he has the backbone of a chocolate eclair” so prince knows he wouldn’t do well as a police detective , so he figures forensic anthropology is the next best step even though he’d mainly around dead ppl’s bones a lot of the time but it’s ok
yeah mans flexes w the education and plans to go on and get his phd in biological anthropology at binghamton university in new york where he plans to spend the next seven years earning his phd so flex !! rip his mental stability bc it’s gonna be hanging on a thread at this point
overall , personality wise prince is v kind , v loving and compassionate and is dedicated to those he values . 10/10 is the dad friend who makes shit jokes and probably rambles on about how cool his major is bc he loves it so much )): even though it’s kinda out there compared to everyone else he loves it and enjoys talking about it whenever he can !! just a v sweet boy who’s softspoken and can be a bit rambly but when he smile he lights up a room bc he wears his heart on his sleeve and now im emo bye
one of the less ideal things about prince though is that he’s v obliging and often just wants to believe ppl and can be a bit naive , just especially when ppl are taking advantage of him ): he just wants to help ppl and see the good in everyone so he’d be that friend u have to yell at to stop being so giving to others bc it’s to a fault
ok its ya girl back at it, same deal ! if u wanna plot just HMU or LIKE THIS and i’ll come to you ! wes is my father & u can peep his pinterest board HERE !
⌈ chris pine, cismale, he/him ⌋ hey, is it WESLEY BIGELOW that you’re looking for? you know, the THIRTY-SIX year old CARPENTER. typically i see them hanging around GRISTOL DOCKS so you could try there! i hear they’ve been in living in PRINCETOWN for THIRTY-SIX YEARS. gristol wouldn’t be the same without them, right? anyway, whenever i see them they make me think of waking up before dawn, an old rowboat sitting in still water & a kitchen full of fresh produce.
tw: car accident & illness
this mans has lived in town his entire life!!! his parents, william and rose bigelow owned a historic farm . willy & rose were high school sweethearts, a shotgun wedding joining them together after rose ended up pregnant with their first child at the age of 19. while rose’s parents were furious with their daughter for being so reckless, william’s father was more than happy to offer them a place to stay and lend a hand taking care of the baby that would soon be on the way.
despite the circumstances, wes was never treated as an accident or a mistake. he grew up in his grandpa’s farmhouse with a loving family. the bigelow family followed some pretty traditional gender roles. wes’ dad and his grandpa would wake at the crack of dawn and work out in the field until sunset while his mother hung around the house to take care of him, doing laundry, making dinner, taking him to the park, everything.
from a young age he was encouraged to help out on the farm but being the mama’s boy he was, he was far more eager to help his mom out with the cooking and the laundry. he was close with his grandfather as well, the two always working on little projects together like building a tree house, birdhouses, his own bee house………………….a lot of houses
but wes was never rly close with his father. william wasn’t much of an emotional or talkative guy, usually just sitting there in stern silence and working the day away. a bit of a scary guy despite not ever doing anything scary?? he’s just an ominous guy that doesn’t rly seem impressed by anything so wes never rly knew where he stood u know.
the one time wes ever really felt close to his father was when they would take little weekend fishing trips together, even though they didn’t really speak. just the fact that william took his time to teach wes how to do everything and didn’t get mad or frustrated when he lost a lure or let a fish go by accident was enough to like…..send the message. that was his way of showing his love u know.
the second bigelow child was welcomed when wes was a kid and while at first he was jealous that his new baby sister was getting all the attention, having a baby around the house was kind of fun. she’d make funny faces and funny noises and he grew to love her pretty quickly. he used to always say that his baby sister was the best thing that happened to him. when she got older, he taught her how to make mud pies and how to play pranks on grandpa who was a rly good sport, all things considered.
car accident & death tw !! the winter of ‘94 would prove to be the worst winter of wes’ entire life. on the way back home to pick up a christmas tree from a nearby farm, the family’s old pick up hit a patch of black ice and ended up flipped into a ditch. it was a bad wreck. luckily his grandpa and sister were safe at home during the time of the crash, but wes and his parents weren’t so lucky, his mother being the unluckiest of the bunch. they were stranded in the middle of the road for two hours before anyone showed up for help and by the time they arrived, it was too late for rose, who got the worst of the injuries. doa at the hospital while wes and his dad walked away with mostly minor injuries. that year, there was no christmas tree and no presents. christmas dinner was replaced with takeout and no one said a word.
illness & death tw !! not long after rose passed away, grandpa bigelow got some bad news. lung cancer that no one really saw coming. just a few months after the diagnosis they were having another funeral for another member of the bigelow clan.
it was a tough year, but they got through it. wes did his job to step up and do all the things his dad couldn’t do; all the things his mother taught him. he expected all of it to make his dad more closed off but it had the reverse effect and for the first time in his entire life, wes and his father had heart to heart conversations.
jump forward to high school and things finally felt like they were back to normal. william wasn’t dating yet but he wasn’t being all that anti-social, either.
wes discovered quickly he was the kind of person that other people liked and he was quite popular??? he made good grades, played football, dating the coolest girl in school (in his own opinion ofc), everything kind of fell into place for him in high school
and then after high school he…………didn’t rly know what to do asdj;fdksgfkdlj he never went to college and decided work around town doing odd jobs and saving some money so he could go off and travel and live his life as a young person craving adventure.
he was gone for abt a year or so before coming back home & he’s just been here ever since, doin his thing
started working with a family friend in his shop, doing what he loved and building things n working with his hands u know and hasn’t stopped doing what he loves ever since
he owns his own shop now & builds custom furniture
the….personality section has Arrived
he’s quite the Charming guy but he talks WAY too much
definitely the kind of guy who will just…..talk about himself non-stop without even realizing it ?? he needs to get his Ego in check even after all these years smh
buT he’s very good at making conversation and is rly a friendly guy!!!! will talk and joke with anyone just because……why not ?? it makes his day when ppl talk to him so he will talk to u even if u dont feel the same way
highkey the kind of person to start up a random conversation w a stranger in the grocery story just because
lowkey uncomfortable with feelings and still isn’t super great at expressing emotions and his thoughts but ya boi is trying his best
but he’s rly good at picking up on signals. he can’t express his own emotions but he’s like….pretty in tune with other ppl
a very platonically affectionate guy. loves hugging his buddies and telling them how much he loves & appreciates them
and now for the lil extra tidbits
he’s got two dogs. a german shepherd named mulder & a pomeranian named scully sfddgfhgfg and he strategically uses his dogs to flirt w ladies when they’re out on a walk LMAO
he’s got a 6 year old daughter named aspen with a woman he is no longer dating ( im prob gna put this as a wc on the main so if u want this....hmu???? ) but they are still v close and spend a lot of time together & he loves aspen more than anything :’)

⌈ vernon chwe, cismale, he/him ⌋ hey, is it MARK HWANG that you’re looking for? you know, the TWENTY year old STUDENT/DANCER. typically i see them hanging around ROAST CAFE so you could try there! i hear they’ve been in living in KINGSTON for HIS WHOLE LIFE. gristol wouldn’t be the same without them, right? anyway, whenever i see them they make me think of BLACK SKINNY JEANS, BEAUTIFUL SUNSETS, WARM SMILES.
Hi, guys! This is super late because yesterday was my aunt's birthday dinner and by the time I got back I pretty much just crashed.I also didn't have time to post this before leaving for work this morning but here it is now! I'm really excited to be here and looking forward to get things started! With that being said, below the cut you'll be able to find out more about Mark
— His dad’s american and his mom’s korean, they met in Seoul when his father was transferred there for work. He was only supposed to stay in Korea for six months but ended up staying for two years, only getting back to Gristol after they were married. Mark learned to speal both korean and english from a young age. He often visited Seoul growing up on family trips, that’s how he improved his korean.
— Personality wise he’s adventurous, charming, amusing and exuberant, tends to be surrounded by friends and admirers. There is a need for constant motion which can lead to impatience, and a flighty nature. He’s quite friendly and loyal as well but can be moody and impulsive on occasion.
— Mark’s majoring in dance in college, he’s on his second year now. Always been passionate about it, he’s a perfectionist and tends to push past his own limits sometimes to make sure a dance move is perfect. That can lead to working until he’s close to passing out from exhaustion and he’s been scolded by his dance teachers before but still kept doing it. The industry is just too competitive, Marks always thinks there's more room to improve.
— Likes skinship a lot. Cuddling, holding hands, piggyback rides. If you’re friends with him, you can expect him to do at least one of those things with you at some point, if he feels that you wouldn’t mind of course
— Works part time as an intern on a technology company and between his classes, dance practice and the internship, Mark doesn't have a lot of free time on his hands, he's always busy.
And that's all I have for now but come plot with us? ❤️
yes im reusing chae’s old intro post uwu fite me
but am lee, have no responsibilities this summer so expect me a lot, and uuuh my discord is leigh#0278 if u wanna talk there
⌈ min yoongi, cismale, he/him ⌋ hey, is it CHAEMIN KANG that you’re looking for? you know, the TWENTY THREE year old BARISTA/CAM BOY. typically i see them hanging around ROAST CAFE so you could try there! i hear they’ve been in living in KINGSTON for TWO YEARS. gristol wouldn’t be the same without them, right? anyway, whenever i see them they make me think of FRESHLY DYED HAIR, PERMENENT POUTS, LAZY STOLEN KISSES and SMUDGED MAKEUP.
tw for below: abuse tw, self harm tw, homophobia tw, (slight) death tw, body image tw
fullname: kang chaemin
age: 23
date of birth: 5th march
orientation: pansexual
occupation: barista / camboy
Sarcastic lil shit
actually a softie but hella awkward at times
so chaemin is the youngest of three sons, his oldest brother being around 30-33, the middle brother being 26/27
their mom died giving birth to chae due to several complications so it was just the boys and their dad and no one noticed the resentment at first
it would just be light shoves, “playful” punches etc
when chae was 12 he tried to tell his dad he liked boys, his dad ignored him and began drinking more than usual
that was the first night chaes father physically abused him, muttering about how not only did he kill his mom, but now he was one of those disgusting creatures?
chaes oldest brother left without knowing anything, and then middle brother left when chaemin was 14/15 and chae hates them for that, thinking his brother could’ve helped him
both only noticed the drinking problem, never the abuse
when his brothers left, the beatings got worse, but his father was always coming up with an excuse, and no one would believe the well respected chief police officer would be abusing his son
chaes dad left a lasting effect on him, he blames himself for his mothers death, for his brother leaving, that it was his own fault he was getting hit daily and refuses to believe he actually likes boys his self hatred was at an all time high when chae cut himself from elbow to wrist, six years of beatings and he just wanted it to be over. the scar remains to day, big and pink and he’ll fight you if you say anything about it
dropped out of college halfway through his third year and went from part time at roast cafe to full time
and then theres the camboy thing
chaemin loves the attention it gives him
but homeboy wears a mask that covers the top half of his face at all times so unless someone knows what chae looks like naked, they wont make the connection that they’re the same person, but like his tattoos and lil pouty lips give it away sks
ok so buddy suffers panic attacks, has a slight stutter at times, body image issues, literally a shaking leaf BUT has put on a persona to basically survive and not breakdown everyday. may seem like a dick most of the time, but actually a soft boy who wants to be himself but is scared
scared people wont accept him even tho he knows they will??
basically your basic rich fuckboi persona who often gets into fights thanks to that, but in the safety of his room hes a lil softie uwu
if you got to here well done bc that was v messy??
⌈ kim taehyung, cismale, he/him ⌋ hey, is it GRAY SIWOO that you’re looking for? you know, the TWENTY-ONE year old STUDENT. typically i see them hanging around ROAST CAFE so you could try there! i hear they’ve been in living in SAUGATUCK RESIDENTIAL for HIS WHOLE LIFE. gristol wouldn’t the same without them, right? anyway, whenever i see them they make me think of ripped jeans, colorful retro sunglasses, painted nails.
some quick info:
full name: gray siwoo
age: 21
date of birth: june 10
gender: cis male
pronouns: he/him
orientation: bisexual
occupation: student
allergies: peanut
zodiac sign: gemini
ok so gray was born and raised in gristol by his parents. his mom moved very young from korea to study abroad ( law more specifically ) and decided to stay when she met his father ( politics major ) and the two of them fell quickly and deeply at a very young age. however her family didn’t agree to it so she decided to cut them off even though she was very attached to them, so gray doesn’t know his family on his mother’s side at all. never spoke to them, don’t know what they look like, anything.
she didn’t come from a wealthy family but his father did! once gray’s grandfather passed away his father being the only son took over their real estate brokerage business, making their lives way too easy. despite having her degree, his mom decide to dedicate herself to her family only and her kids, spoiling him rotten and giving literally everything he wants. gray could pretty much get away with everything if he pouts, which has helped him into his selfish and manipulative behaviors where he needs to get what he wants one way or another.
however, in order to shape him into a decent human he could get anything he wantedin his parents terms. he wasn’t handed everything, his dad was very rigid about that. instead he had to work for it. do chores around the house, get good grades, that kinda thing. that really shaped him into a working man dhsuidfh ( even though most of the time his mom would let him off said chores )
TW DEATH
his mom was the sweet one in the house, but when gray was around 12 his mom fell sick and they discovered that she had leukemia and gray watched as his mom was no longer her best-self and never left her side to her last breath. his father was never a very loving type of father and often times he wanted to protect gray from seeing his mom that way but even at 12 years old gray was very mature and refused to let his father take away his time with his mom. the day she passed away was the day gray disconnected from his father completely, he blames him for her death and refuses to believe that now they can have a relationship when he spent so much time busy with work and away from them. gray still suffers a lot with her death but he never lets it show, not wanting to be vulnerable around others and doesn’t really want to worry his sister more than he already does.
he tries to not let the sadness and all the negative feelings take over him, figuring that his mom would want him to be kind and respectful to others like she was. he misses her dearly, she was his everything.
END OF TW
his dad has been the MAYOR of gristol for a couple years now, still a couple to go and will probably run again. gray thinks it’s hilarious that he can’t even take care of their house, how could he handle a whole town? but doesn’t say anything, in fact he takes advantage of his dad’s title to do whatever TF HE WANTS
his dad is also lowkey a homophobic and is that type who sees two guys kissing and public and cringes and comments about how its an indecency but wont do the same for the straight couples lol so gray prefers to hide that he kisses boys too from him but for everyone else he is out n proud ok
at school gray was always kind of popular, he had his group of friends of course but he was naturally very social. he liked to talk and make people laugh and that continues through this day. he’s very sarcastic too which can be funny and because he’s a gemini he has those mood swings so pls be patient, sometimes he’ll be funny and cheerful and sometimes he’ll lock himself in his room for days without explanation
he was always very into music and was classic trained since he was a kid. that was very important to his parents. he can play piano, guitar, he can sing but he doesn’t think he can so he avoids the whole thing, loves playing though, especially the piano. catch him randomly playing just because at 6 am to wake up everyone because he’s THAT annoying lmao
his father demands a lot out of both him and expects him to be the perfect son and beCAUSE of that he goes against everything his dad wants. he wanted gray to attend politics school as well so he could be like him but gray decided to take arts instead, which he loves btw - he’s very artsy and loves to paint, draw, do some digital art and all that
he’s not a very big spender thankfully ( except w clothes tho ) , he likes to save his money even though thats never really lacked in his family. he has plans of eventually leaving his father’s house and moving somewhere else away from him, the only reason why he hasn’t yet is hana. he can’t leave her. he’s simple, but likes to dress well and is obsessed with technology, he always has to have the newest phones, notebooks, watches, video games etc
very addicted to his phone and social media, instagram specially, in fact he likes to posts his art content and everything he does in there, updates his story all the goddamn time, i’d say he has a big following bc homeboy has a pretty face
a little bit of a hoe not going to lie, he’s very flirty and loves seeing his charm work on people, he tends to not let it go very far unless he feels very attracted to the person, he’s not the type to go fuck randoms and all that, he needs to have some type of connection before he gets intimate with someone
he can be a little hesitant to get close to people because he has major trust issues but once u get him talking there’s really no way to stop him, loves to roast and tease people just to be cute, he likes attention
a gentleman, he’s the real boyfriend material. he will open the door for you, carry your bags, carry yOU if you say you’re tired, go out of his way to make sure you’re comfortable, he’s your servant feel free to abuse it
however there are times where he snaps out of nowhere or just wants to be alone and is mean all suddenly but after will act like nothing has happened lmao
EXTREMELY affectionate, likes to touch hold hands hug kiss, he likes it when people play with his hair but all of that only applies to people he’s comfortable with, if you don’t know him well don’t touch him
[ anxiety tw ] he suffers w anxiety a lot due to his mom and stress and fighting w his father, sometimes he disappears and that’s when he’s having a crisis. he has panic attacks when its at its peak and he works out a lot and does yoga and all that as well as taking medication to keep it all at balance for his own sake [ end of anxiety tw ]
tries to eat healthy and watches what he eats a lot, he used to be chubby for a bit as a kid and that pushed him to work on himself which also makes him a little insecure about his body and his appearance. it’s still a little hard for him to believe that someone could be attracted to him and it’s also hard for him to just take a compliment without turning it into a joke.
neat freak, likes everything organized and clean and will freak out if you come over and mess up his room or go through his things
has terrible luck with relationships but never says no to love, tbh he’s a hopeless romantic and loves the chase. loves to gossip and he’s a bit shady when he doesn’t like someone ( which is not often this boy has a heart of gold ) fiughduf

⌈ wong yukhei, cismale, he/him ⌋ hey, is it CHARLIE JIN that you’re looking for? you know, the TWENTY-ONE year old PODCASTER. typically i see them hanging around GRISTOL POINT so you could try there! i hear they’ve been in living in SAUGATUCK for FIVE YEARS. gristol wouldn’t be the same without them, right? anyway, whenever i see them they make me think of UNAPOLOGETIC LAUGHTER, A COLLECTION OF PASTEL COLORED DENIM JACKETS, HEADPHONES HUNG AROUND HIS NECK, & THE SMELL OF STRAWBERRIES.
STATS
full chinese name: jin ximen / americanized name: charlie jin / nicknames: charlie / ethnicity: chinese & thai / sexuality: bisexual / occupation: true crime podcaster / spoken languages: cantonese, thai, english, korean, spanish, & ( conversational ) mandarin / hogwarts house: slytherin
BIOGRAPHY
okie dokie so charlie ( born ximen ) is the youngest of the four kids between his parents born and riased in shanghai and their wedding was some big event bc both families were heavily affluent and prominent in their home countries
charlie’s dad hailed from shanghai, china where his family had a long lineage of old money and a 5 star international hotel chain that’s comparable to the four seasons .. meanwhile charlie’s mom is from thailand where her family has ties to the oil industry which is how they built their wealth .. their marriage was more political than anything and wanting to combine their wealth in industries the other was lacking in
as the youngest kid and the only boy with three older sisters, charlie never lacked a caregiver bc he was an adorable little boy who charmed whoever he met and though he was a little shit, his sisters loved him and helped raise him alongside a clan of nannies that his parents hired when they were busy off on different continents running their respective businesses
charlie definitely was more of a mommy’s boy in the sense that his mom made more of an effort to spend time with him bc as her only son, she held him on a pedestal and since she was a well known fashion designer, she often brought charlie to her studio and let him run wild in some of the garments and clothing that was in storage and whatnot
from this charlie had a lil mini modeling career ( lmao not really )where he would do mock photoshoots with some of the models in his mom’s bridal collections and eventually bc he was adorable and everyone loved him, they dressed him in some mini tuxes and he appeared in some campaigns for his mom’s bridal collection
generally though charlie was an exuberant kid who often had more energy than he knew what to do with and that often had him getting in trouble at the expensive prep school his parents had him enrolled in . which he frequently was scolded by his dad for his hellion behavior jdsklafjd
so it was a constant push and pull between charlie and his dad in trying to calm down his son .. which wyd he;s just a happy go lucky boy hsalkjf but anyway charlie was eventually enrolled in a soccer club so he could wear himself out by running all the time and tbh it kinda worked .. but also charlie actually enjoyed soccer so it worked out
his dad really thought he did something by keeping his teenage son out of trouble and letting him build teamwork skills ig … mainly bc he wanted his only son to take over the jin empire of their hotel chain even though charlie was like :/ .. and his mom was a bit :/ bc she knew charlie wasn’t the type who would want the weight of this empire on his shoulders even though his oldest sister was more experienced
but fun times for dad bc lit it’s w his soccer friends that charlie realizes that whatever heterosexuality is .. that ain’t him sdjldkjs but yeah he finds out that he’s into guys just as much as he’s into girls and he has a crush on one of his best friends on the soccer team w him
charlie was able to disguise his crush as a solid bro friendship around his dad meanwhile him and his friend were leaning on the scale of more than friends and 10/10 were making out whenever they were alone so yeah … things were swaggy for the first three months until charlie’s dad came home early from his trip from new york and walked into charlie’s room to see him fooling around with his friend
so yeah … things didn’t go great after that and the jin household was so painfully tense where his dad refused to go on any international trips and kept a strong grip on charlie and pulled him out of his school’s soccer team .. it was a tough time and definitely miserable for charlie despite his mom’s best efforts to help soothe him
nearly a month following The Incident ( as he dad refers to it as )he announced that 16 year old charlie was going to live with his aunt over in america and it was an absolute shit show at the house when his dad broke the news but the next day charlie found himself on a direct flight from shanghai to brindle bay where his aunt lives with her american husband and son
the move was a big adjustment for charlie and it was here that he started going by charlie bc the kids at his new school couldn’t pronounce ximen . originally he was a bit standoffish and reclusive bc his english was still shaky and he had an accent so this combination of things made him a target of some shitty xenophobic bullies and it put him down for a bit
it was a dark period that charlie doesn’t like to think back on and relied on the friendship he established with his cousin and it was through him that charlie began to blossom in brindle bay and make his own connections and realized that his dad is a dumbass bc he essentially sent him away for being into men but lmao !! sike dad !! bc now he gets to kiss boys if he wants without the rope around his neck from his dad
it’s been five years since charlie has been shipped to brindle bay and he keeps in contact with his sisters and mother and has visited shanghai a few times for some holidays and lets his dad think him being in america has helped him become more sensible and learn responsibility
when he graduated high school his mom offered to have him come home but charlie decided he wanted to stay more away from his dad for the time beginning and enrolled in college and got his degree in communication studies
it’s when he’s in school that he starts up his own podcast where he just discusses true crime and paranormal stories and such just bc it’s always been an interest of his .. he started it with his close friend that was his first Official friend in brindle bay and they’re two years into and it’s growing a strong listening base on spotify and apple music .. for comparison sake it’s a mix of buzzfeed unsolved and my favorite murder
but yeah overall charlie is an easy going guy who is usually seen with a smile on his face and just v fun loving , charismatic and loves talking to ppl ?? comes off v flirty but that’s just who he is bc he has that kinda vibe .. sometimes he doesn’t even realize he’s flirting bc it comes like breathing . he means well and is a soft boy who misses his family but is scared to go back home to china officially
WANTED CONNECTIONS
someone who helped show charlie around when he first came to brindle bay and maybe they built a friendship from it
someone who maybe helped him improve on his english when he first came to town and charlie is forever grateful to them and feels indebted to them for being there for him when he was self conscious and needed help
his first relationship .. p self explanatory but charlie and your muse dated for a bit and it was nice and sweet but things ended amicably between the two and they still remain friends
maybe one or two fwb’s that charlie respects their friendship and somehow their arrangement happened and things are going good and having someone on call when he’s feeling needy is a+ .. whether or not smth angsty can stem from this can be debated
his first friend that he made when coming to town and charlie’s podcast buddy !!
maybe someone who has a crush on charlie but he’s stupid and oblivious and his flirting that comes as easy as breathing doesn’t help the situation
a good influence ... helps charlie be a lil bit of a demon
a bad influence who is helping charlie embrace more of his hellion ways hfskd
or even someone who knows of his family’s wealth back in china and is trying to finagle their way into charlie’s good graces and hopefully try to get a cut of it
