(KATHRYN NEWTON, CIS FEMALE, SHE/HER) ~ Have you seen (EILIDH MACDONALD) around  Hawthorne? She is a (23) year-old and has been employed as a (POOL LIFEGUARD) for (1 YEAR). She is an (AQUARIUS), so they can be (CREATIVE) & (HUMANITARIAN), but also (RECKLESS) & (DETACHED). Rumor has it, she (IS THE SOLE SURVIVOR OF A CAR ACCIDENT SHE AND HER FRIENDS WERE IN)

ooc; and here’s eilidh!!

eilidh’s tldr; a smol, bright-eyed, cupcake who’ll talk your ear off about so-called mythical creatures and wild conspiracies! #thetruthisouthere up for pretty much anything, very fun, very kind & a mermaid in the water basically so y’all are in good hands ! an optimist with a sad soul who was tired of doing her best :(

Eilidh MacDonald / 23 / Scottish / Life Guard @Hawthorne for 1 year ‘nd counting

cw; death, car accident

Eilidh (ay-lee or ay-leh and the worst to spell) MacDonald was born in Scotland in a little seaside town. There were cobbled streets and rocky cliffs and freezing cold waves. She used to sit up on the rocks and imagine being a million miles away, what wondrous creatures lurked in the depths of the water and she’d sketch them too. Wanderlust may well be her middle name.

She went to America with her mum for a summer to roadtrip and eat corn dogs and stuff when her mum met him. Eilidh’s dad-to-be. They had a bit of a thing, he was eccentric and had a bit of money and he made her mum happy. It was fairytale worthy when he flew out to Scotland just to see her again and really, the rest is history.

The MacDonald gals packed up and moved to the states. Eilidh studied art, she dreamed big, she lived a wonderful, carefree life. She adventured and scraped her knees and drank a lot of grape Fanta (there’s a serious lack of it back home). She may have been a struggling artist but she definitely wasn’t a starving one thanks to her parents.

She made the best, the very best of friends when she was at college. They were inseparable and she loved them so much. They listened to her endless theories, let themselves get covered in her paint and glitter. There was a deer. A freakin’ deer. It all happened so fast, they tried to swerve but... The car was wrecked. She didn’t remember much past the screaming, the glass, the blood on her face. The moment she woke up and found out that none of her friends had woken up was the worst day of her life.

It took time, it’s still taking time, but she decided to get a job at the hotel away from home, away from the memories and reminders. It wasn’t the adventures she and her friends had planned, it wasn’t plugging her art to anyone who’d listen, it wasn’t discovering another wonder of the world but it was something. It was something. Then it was fun, it was good. She likes her job, she likes all the new people. It’s a welcome distraction.

Extras ;

Covered in glitter all the time somehow??? 

Do you want to hear about aliens or the loch ness monster? Hit her up!

Chaotic bisexual energy TM

Loves house plants, the colour yellow, denim and endless cups of tea.

Wanted Connections ;

Roommate - either them moving in with her or vice versa! It can be a pre-established plot or we can play it out with an ad or something!

Past connections ; anyone who may have known her at college? Or for a brief time when she was road tripping around. Did they meet at Disneyland?? Maybe even someone who knew her friends/their families (OH MAYBE WAS A FAMILY MEMBER??) or just about the accident from the papers/online etc.

Hotel connections ; co-workers, friends, someone who likes to hear her stories and fun facts about mythical creatures.

She successfully life-guarded you!

They’ve been lowkey flirting for a while but that’s all (for now).

(CHARLES MELTON, CIS MALE, HE/HIM) ~ Have you seen (RYAN KIM) around Hawthorne? He is a (29) year-old and has been employed as a (SECURITY GUARD) for (6 MONTHS). He is an (AQUARIUS), so they can be (KIND-HEARTED) & (GENEROUS), but also (IMPULSIVE) &  (SELF-RIGHTEOUS). Rumor has it, he (QUIT HIS JOB AS A STUNT MAN AFTER A SUSPICIOUS ACCIDENT ON SET)  

ooc; paige again & here’s ryan!!!

ryan’s tldr; a Softie with a big heart who always carries cherry flavoured gum in his pocket. could have been a lawyer but that ship sailed. has a few scars and bones of steel, might still show off a little if you ask but mostly a broody strong silent type who doubles as an incurable romantic. a GoodTM.

Ryan Kim / 29 / Former Stunt-Man / Current Security @Hawthorne Hotel

cw; death mention

Ryan grew up in the kind of small town where football was a sure fire way to get out. He played in high school good enough to get a scholarship to college where he’d go on to study law. He always wanted to fight against injustice and make a difference. And he wanted to make his dad proud.

While he pretty much dedicated himself 100% to his studies, leaving little room for anything else (read: fun), he has always been a romantic. He loves romance, he loves loves and one day he’d like something like that for himself. He’s had a lot of crushes but he’s not one to make the first move and the thing was... He thought he had all the time in world. School first, become a lawyer, make something of himself. Love could come later.

Then his dad died. It was an accident, no one to blame or fight in court- just an accident. Ryan didn’t really know what to do with himself after that. He tried to keep routine, keep working, keep... But what was the point? His passion for it, his drive had fizzled out and he just felt lost.

So he quit. It was impulsive, maybe stupid but he just needed a change. Everything felt...like it could disappear. Nothing was permanent. He drifted around for a while, bouncing from place to place and never getting too close to anyone. That’s when got the gig as a stunt man. He loved it, the thrill of it and maybe even a tiny bit, the fact that things could go south. It was a risk but he never got in an accident, like his dad, not once.

Everything was kinda chill then. He was just #doinglife. Met a few movie stars, had a few laughs. Then there was accident. Ryan was supposed to be the one using the motorcycle for the stunt- everyone on set knew that-, it was just a coincidence that Ryan missed the start of the shoot. That they threw someone else on. That the brakes went haywire even though the bike had been checked and checked, and checked again. He started to feel paranoid then, unsafe on set and it wasn’t the kind of near-death thrill he usually looked for.

So he packed up again and now here he is working security at Hawthorne!

Extras

Soft Aquarius that wants to be loved but also like how???

Has a lil Southen twang.

A gentlemanTM.

Has a one-eyed rescue cat named ‘Hook’ who has been his constant companion since he quit law!

His mom re-married eventually and he’s happy for her. Mostly happy.

Rumours about whether or not he’s killed a man (he has a good bodyguard glare) or other speculations on his mysterious past may circulate lmao.

You can Google him!

Wanted Connections

Past Connections ; so he’ll have moved around a bunch so they could have met at any point for however long! Could have been a fling, could have shared a few drinks, he could have acted on his hero complex and punched someone out for you! 

Hotel Connections ; guests he talks to every other day? However in depth, maybe even just a little nod and smile?? Maybe he saw your character crying or in a bad way at 3am and helped them out?? Co-workers???

Crushes, unrequited or otherwise let’s be cute !

He showed you pictures of his cat once #bless

(SHAY MITCHELL, CIS FEMALE, SHE/HER) ~ Have you seen (LOLA MERCADO) around  Hawthorne Tower? She is a (33) year-old and has lived in suite (401) for  (1 MONTH). She is a (SCORPIO),  so they can be (AMBITIOUS) & (BOLD), but also (MANIPULATIVE) &  (SELF-ABSORBED). Rumor has it, she (WAS RECENTLY CUT OFF FROM HER TRUST FUND).

hi everyone!! i’m paige (she/her, 24, gmt) and i’m super excited to rp with y’all <3 did my aquarius nature make 2/3 of my bisasters aquarius also? perhaps. anyways you can find some info on lovelyish lola under the cut along with some wanted connections etc. feel free to message me if you wanna plot ‘n chat xo

lola’s tldr; bratty socialite is cut off from trust fund and is still screaming! usually very fun but like, not dependable. will accidentally insult your outfit oops. isn’t a bad person, probably??? but isn’t very good at being good either sigh. self destructive but cute. really worried about what she’s gonna do when her clothes run out and need, like, laundered??? will she have to do this herself or???

Lola Mercado / 33 / Former Heiress, Socialite, All Around Rich Bish / Room 401

Lola is a trust fund baby who probably still eats her yogurt with the same diamond encrusted spoon she was born with. Her parents are a CEO of a company that made the family filthy rich (mom) and a soap superstar (dad) on still-running series (let’s call it...”Now and Forever”). Basically, Lola never had to learn how to do anything for herself. She doesn’t know the street value of a banana.

Born and raised in New York, she was a very busy child and then teen enrolled in every extra-curricular you can think of. She modeled, she did commercials, rode horses, learned how to drive a speedboat (crashed a speedboat), almost released a single but it didn’t work out (for the best #rip). She tried everything because she could, got bored and then dropped it. Such was life.

Has very fickle friends but then again, so is she so... She loved to be surrounded by people though, whether they really liked her or not. She hates the quiet, hates to be alone and has filled her days with impromptu trips and outlandish spending. Only people who don’t have money say it can’t buy happiness- duh!

Now, she may have gone to college (business communications and fashion) but she didn’t really do anything with that. Spring break was a lot of fun and she’ll probably never forget those college flings but whatever. Her mom has always lowkey been bugging her to “do something” but honestly, why? Life is for living and there’s no way Lola is going to be in some gross, 9-5, job just to stop the texts from her mom.

Okay so you get her vibe? Very shallow, super fun, no cares in the absolute world and loves her stuff. Now, she might have had a little too much fun. The partying, the paparazzi, the string of famous and semi-famous messy lovers, the shame she brought to the family, the drunken rants, that one time she crashed her Mercedes into a store window (it was closed and looked like the entrance to the parking garage okay!) and all the times her parents had to bail her out piled up.

This behaviour may have got her more followers on Instagram and made for some wild stories to tell over cocktails but it was the last straw for her parents. They went on about “last chances” and blah blah blah. Then Lola might have made a tiny scene at one of her mom’s big business schmooze fests and uh, well, apparently that whole “last chance” thing wasn’t fake. They cut her off. Cue the screaming!

She begged, she pleaded but she was thrown out with barely enough suitcases while card after card was declined. Total nightmare. Her fickle friends did not call and none of her shitty exes cared enough either. She wasn’t totally broke (on the way though, yikes) but obviously in her eyes her life was O-V-E-R. With her wounded pride, she managed to call in enough favours to make it to Miami and the hotel. She’s mortified to be on the fourth floor (she’s penthouse or death, usually) but c’est la vie. Basically in hiding and trying to recover from the drama. Can barely make toast help her.

Extras ;

A Flirty Bi-Con & a Scorpio !

Has been in the tabloids for being messy & looking fabulous.

Closest thing she had to a job was when she got to play a character on her dad’s soap for a wild story arc - she will bring this up.

Tells the wildest stories, who honestly knows if they’re 100% true or not.

Her mom blocked her on social media #rip

Kindred spirits include Alexis Rose & Cher Horowitz (with a splash of accidental mean & family drama)

Wanted Connections ;

New hotel connections? She’s only been her a minute but maybe she made a terrible first impression on your character? She might have mistaken them for a bellhop or something and was like here’s idk $20 please deal with my bags. Or she could have bumped into them and spilled coffee on them (probably didn’t apologise). Insulted their outfit cause she was in a grouchy mood.

She knocked the wing mirror off your car and left a note saying ‘oospie’.

Follow her on instagram / mutual followers.

Anyone on her floor? Maybe she invited them in for drinks or they heard her having a lowkey tantrum over her new tragic situation (she would have lied about what was wrong of course, no one can know she’s.........cut off).

Old friends : so Lola has traveled all over so they could have met anywhere! They could have partied together, were roomies for a while, flew off together on wild adventures. Maybe they had a friendship break up because Lola is a FOOL and despite missing them so so so much she just never got back in touch?

Messy exes / hook ups / ones that got away etc

[abramsbetty-blog]

Have you seen ELIZABETH “BETTY” ABRAMS around Hawthorne? She is a 35 year-old and has lived in SUIT 624 for TWO YEARS. She is an AQUARIUS, so they can be QUIRKY & OUTGOING, but also PESSIMISTIC & IMPULSIVE. Rumor has it, she SET HER CHILDHOOD HOME ON FIRE AND CLAIMED IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

AND AGAIN....hello, everyone!! i’m bucky, i’m 21, i go by she/her pronouns, and i live in the est timezone! i’m bringing you a second character aka mess of a woman, betty! i have a stats page for her located right HERE, a pinterest board so you can get a feel for her vibe right HERE, and a cute little social media page right HERE.

if you would like to plot with her, please feel free to message me or simply reply to this post!!! or you can hit me up on discord. my username is airy and cheesy#1149.

RUNDOWN OF BETTY’S BACKSTORY:

TRIGGER WARNINGS: fire, animal death, hoarding, and mental illness.

Born in Norway but grew up in Minnesota.

Her life has been uncomfortable from the start, her father leaving her mother when Betty was ten. Betty’s mother was emotionally abusive, mostly because of her struggles with hoarding. She always had a hard time letting things go and it impacted all of her relationships.

Betty also has attachment issues like her mother. Her suite in Hawthorne Tower is an absolute mess, resembling her mother’s condition. Though she’s in denial about that.

Was always fascinated with art and fire as a child. She always carried around a lighter with her and would often start papers on fire when she was bored. She also almost always had burns on her fingers, accompanied with paint smears and marker.

Loves balloons, her suite is decorated with various colored balloons that she replaces when they begin to deflate. 

Was in a girl band growing up called “Meet Me Behind the Mall” where she was the lead singer and guitar player. 

Was fairly popular in school. People liked her and she was kind of a slut, for lack of a better term. She got around, basically.

Bad anger issues. One of the main reason she was so popular was because people didn’t mess with her. She often started fights and she was always the one to finish them.

One day, her mother’s abuse got the best of her and Betty ended up setting her home on fire while her mother was at church. It was an act of impulse that Betty still regrets, as most of her things from her childhood are gone. But a part of her was still satisfied to see her mother’s mess become consumed in flames.

At the time, she was seventeen, but did what she could to make the fire seem like an accident. A neighbor’s beloved cat passed due to the fire because she was in the yard, which earned newfound guilt to spread through Betty. Because of this, she has her own cat named James, to make up for her guilt.

Betty eventually cut ties with her mother after many attempts to help her mentally and moved to Florida. She went to art school here before dropping out to pursue freelance art.

Her art has mixed reviews from critics. Some love her work and some hate it. 

She’s lived in Hawthorne Tower for about two years now and doesn’t let anyone inside her suite, mostly because of her own hoarding and obsessive tendencies. She fears becoming like her toxic mother but is in denial about obtaining some of her most prominent attributes. 

RANDOM HEADCANONS.

Loves balloons and they’re often featured in her art.

Betty loves all things color. Using lots of color makes her feel at ease. If you ever see her painting or drawing with dull colors it’s because she’s in a bad place.

Was briefly engaged to a stranger she met when she first arrived to Miami. Her name was Jodie and she was a much older woman but Betty claimed it was love. Oh, and she was also married.

Collects stickers and colored pencils. Way too much of them. They’re all stored in her suite and piled high.

Her art is very interesting and abstract. Betty enjoys drawing creepy faces, balloons, collage imagery, and more. She draws what she feels and it’s not always well received.

Still loves Norway and visits there often. She owns a tiny little trailer there that she goes to when she feels suffocated by her own space.

She still plays guitar and writes songs but has since broken contact with her old band members. 

Has a YouTube channel where she posts covers and videos of her drawing and painting. It’s not very popular but she gets a good amount of views for her liking.
