tw: violence, murder. mafia
ONCE UPON A TIME ....
mariano madrigal was born into what you would call the cartel life, his whole family had been part of the cartel of medellin for as long as he could remember, his father was the youngest out of eight. everyone had followed in his grandfather footsteps, taking each a role in the cartel. though Mauricio Madrigal wanted a different life for him &. his family, he wanted to give them more than the life that each of his siblings shared, life in the cartel only ended one way, either in witness protection for snitching or six feet under &. sadly, they all ended on the ground sooner or later. so he did what any sane man would do &. chose to abandon the life in Colombia that he loved, choosing to take his part of his inheritance &. move to the states.
mariano arrived with four years old to New York, as much as his father wanted to leave the life behind, it seemed that the name madrigal always held some weight, even thousand of miles away. So his father did the only thing that he could think of, politics. there was no way that the foolish American people would suspect that someone as stand up as the mayor of New York would be in bad waters. the perfect family, fighting for the rights of the people, trying to make a change. mariano grew up in a life with no violence but that didn’t stop his violent tendencies, taking after his grandfather. making sure that whoever wrong his family or loved ones should be punished in the most lethal way.
the best schools, the best cars, the best everything. his father was the example of coming from a country where the possibilities were limited to becoming mayor of New York, through the middle of high school, he fell in love &. he lived through the eyes of the girl who captured his heart but it all came to an end when she broke his heart, he wasn’t enough &. from that moment forward he promised himself that he would never, ever let anyone get that close, to see him for who he really was. people became disposable for him, no one stayed in his life for longer than a few weeks, not being able to really open up to anyone. he became as hard as he needed to be, didn’t matter with who truly.
college became his playground, it was like picking out his favorite flavors &. putting them back when he’s had enough, he was a god in his own world but as soon as he saw how good he was with his own photographic memory, his career was chosen. cardio thoracic was his way to go, he had in his power to save life’s &. if he wasn’t ending them, he might as well save them.
DI’ANGELO HARRISON has been accepted to participate ! they are a 30 year old all the way from NEW YORK . HE is currently studying PHOTOGRAPHY at the interchange. ( tatia, 23, she/her, Michael B Jordan )
tw: domestic abuse / murder / verbal abuse / abandonment
DI’ANGELO HARRISON came into the world as a happy kid, his goofy smile evident during his school pictures but that all changed once he was old enough to realize that his mom tended to fall down a lot, though it was always after a heated argument with his father. DEREK HARRISON was the ideal family man, devoted and caring but behind closed doors it was a completely different story. his mothers lessons ( as his father liked to call them ) become much more frequent, the smallest comment would set him off in the most powerful rage. his mother wasn’t safe and neither was he.
after the aftermath of his fathers brutality, he would sit down next to his mother curing her wounds and never blaming her, always by her side. the more he leaned towards his mother, the worst thing got for him. his father became enraged and the bruises began to appear on grayson, though no one could believe that the matriarch of the charming family could ever do something so vile, di’angelo spoke out but no one truly believed him and if they did, his father had everyone in his pocket.
weeks turned into months and months into years and the more that time passed, the more he changed. More closed off he became and more violet towards some situations. one day coming home, he hears pleading and the commotion of things being thrown. he doesn’t have to speculate what’s going on, the help in the kitchen minds their business, but the worrisome look on their features is evident. he walks right past them and his mother is on the floor of his father study, bloody and lifeless. his father taunting him, his anger gets the best of him and everything just turns black.
once he regains conciseness, he feels a pair of hands holding him back. his mother is on the floor, barely breathing. he doesn’t realize the amount of blood that’s covering his hands, his hands on the phone but its taken away by his father security. telling him that they needed to play this as a burglary and that’s exactly what happened, they played the grieving wife and son part quite well.
f his nightmare wasn’t over because in the back of his mind, he has flashbacks of the incident, his fist repeatedly pounding his fathers face and his fathers taunting prose ; you’re a monster just like I am . those words echoed in his mind and played on a constant loop, maybe his father wasn’t wrong and grayson would be just like his father if not worse. though his mothers dedication to him was un matched, they remained well respected in the community &. shortly after her mother remarried, at first he was against him but as time passed, he noticed that she was happy &. that’s all that truly mattered.
after taking ahold of his fathers business, being the heir to it all, he heard about interchange &. Maybe for once he could do something for himself.

STORY OF MY LIFE :
When she was a child her dad told her every night that she was destined for greatness, her name itself descended from a ruler itself. so she always expected nothing but the best when it came from either of her parents, even the world. As she grew older, she never had a worry in the world, her father was a nature born Sicilian just like herself, her mother was born in new America but one trip to Italy and fell in love with this big powerful man. she was merely a few years old and was welcomed with luxury and opportunities not a lot of people had but this was her life and she shouldn’t apologize for it.
Her parents never expected too much from her, just to act as she should in front of guest. As she grew older she wished that she would be part of this normal life she saw on tv. normalcy was never anything for her but that all changed when her parents brought someone else home, someone that crazily looked like her and in her she found a friend, someone that she could look over and protect from their overbearing mother.
things changed when Thalia decided to become in contact with her father, rosalie didn’t see the need but yet regardless she supported her sister through what she needed, she never knew that her sister would betray her ever. one morning as she was getting ready, she decided to wear her grandmothers necklace but it was nowhere to be found. the necklace had been stolen by Thalia’s father and there was no way that the younger salvatore did not know.
something clicked within, rosalie. something just changed and things became more difficult, in front of everyone she was the same perfect delia but behind closed doors she was ready to hit rock bottom. her pregnancy had been something that she didn’t even know had happened, she was terrified but nonetheless came clean to her mother thinking that she would find the perfect solution but once again she was wrong, her mother forced her to the nearest clinic and the baby was just but a passing memory.
she pushed all her problems deep down, a place where no one would ever find them. kept her focus on school &. her drug habit deep from anyone who could know, how dare she disorder the salvatore last name.

𝐈𝐓 𝐁𝐄𝐆𝐀𝐍 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐌𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐀𝐄𝐋 𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐔'𝐒 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 . theo loved his younger brother , so much — but that fateful day , he pretended to be sick in bed , too lazy to go out and play . but still , mickael decided to play without him , venturing into the thick woods without his older brother’s supervision even after theo told him not to stray too far . and that was the last time anyone has ever seen mickael .
theo refused to believe that his brother could be dead , even months after mickael was believed to have succumbed to the elements — so overwhelmed by his grief to point of delusions. his family , friends , and everyone around him knew that mickael was dead at that point , but theo tried to hold onto any semblance of hope that the boy could have survived. he felt ( and continues to feel ) an immense amount of survivor’s guilt over the loss of his younger brother — thinking that maybe if he just played with him , if he was just a better brother , mickael would still be alive .
𝐆𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐅 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐆𝐔𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐋𝐘 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐔 𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐘 . while theo served as a somewhat de facto leader for his friends , he was the subject of parental neglect in his home. his parents’ grief eclipsed his emotional & psychological needs ( for love , for attention , for warmth , for help in processing the loss of mickael ) that instead of healing together as a family , theo was left to his own devices in dealing with his grief . they were so emotionally absent , shrugged off the obvious need for love and positive attention of a boy clearly struggling with the loss of his younger brother . in a way , theo took it as his parents blaming him and holding him responsible for mickael’s death , because why else would they treat him like that ? without his parents’ love and affection, the archambeau house felt like cold place to theo . it was an unhealthy environment for a child .
his undying love for mickael and the neglect he faced at home was the reason why theo was hyperfixated in finding mickael . it was just at that point in theo’s mental state and self-worth that it felt easier for him to go into the forest and try to find his brother than go home and face his parents’ emotional absence and mickael’s physical absence . he was just in so much pain , and yet , he couldn’t just sit there even when all signs pointed to mickael being truly gone . he had so much of this suicidal recklessness as a child because he truly believed that the loss of his brother was his fault like theo would go into that forest again and again , even if he was alone , even if it killed him , if it meant that he at least tried to find his brother . and … u know … if he got hurt , if he died , theo would think he deserved it because he thought he deserved to be punished for mickael’s death . that was how fucked up his mental state was.
it wasn’t until he also got lost in the forest , scared and thought he was going to die that theo acknowledged that mickael was truly gone . it was only 12 hours until he was found and mickael had been gone for months . it was then when he began to truly mourn , and maybe start a healing process . unfortunately , his relationship with his parents never really recovered .
𝙵𝚄𝙽 𝙵𝙰𝙲𝚃𝚂 !
theo’s father died when he was seventeen. and recently , his mother passed , too. he supposed it was time to move on from houplin-ancoisne — he was already away for college , but now , there isn’t any point in ever going back , especially with the last of his friends also now forging their own lives .
theo still blames himself for mickael’s death . and now , with the loss of his parents , theo still doesn’t realize how much of that survivor’s guilt is his parents taking out their grief on him.
to deal with horrors of his childhood , theo found writing stories as a way to cope . he has always been a good wordsmith even when he was a kid , but now it’s something that helps him survive in life — both as a livelihood and a way to manage his traumas by putting them into words .
aside from his group of friends that made him feel less alone after mickael’s death , theo also had several pen pals that he used to confide in . but like with most people and relationships , some things just end when they stopped writing back and he just assumed that their lives became busier or that they found more friends in real life that they had forgotten about him .
big bisexual
went to university of lille for creative writing and graduated early by taking more than a full load of classes each semester and summer/spring classes. he wanted to focus on his writing career as quick as possible so his dumb ass probably almost failed all of his classes except all the important ones , but he already had some book deals anyway so it shouldn’t really matter . nonetheless, he wanted that degree !!!
smart but a dumbass… still has his reckless streak . loves to feel that rush and the thrill of all the first times . like he was already kind of a daredevil kid but still inhibited because he wanted his parents to be impressed of him and love him … but now that they’re dead ??? theo is finally learning how to really have fun without anything holding him back ( sans his career ) .
still has his most prized possession , his bike , copter . gone through some repairs , but still good ! it might seem trivial , a bike , but it helped him get through mickael’s death . saving up for copter , fixing it up ( with the help of his friends ) , learning to how to ride it — it gave him purpose during those endless days after mickael disappeared . it was a good distraction. and it made him feel like in control of the outcome ( unlike the circumstances of mickael’s death ) . and fuck ya he brought it with him to the interchange , no matter how hard it is to travel with .
although it still hurts him to this day , theo does not resent his parents for the way they treated after mickael died . it was unfair to him , but theo understands that they were dealing with their own grief , too . he wishes things were different , but there’s nothing he or anyone can do about it anymore since his parents are dead .
has published a total of two (2) books , the first one is just a compilation of short stories when he was eighteen and other is his first novel , maria , published when he was twenty . neither were bestsellers or anything , but he’s very proud of them . he’s currently in the process of writing the forest we lived in ( which is somewhat based on his own childhood and missing 411s in general ) and he thought that a change of scenery would help him get started on that , thus , applying for the interchange and majoring in literature this time .
has only dated one person … a woman much older than him , who was his book agent when he was nineteen . so theo … into older women ? into people who have strong and dominant personalities ? theo … a bottom for the ladies ? he is bisexual , though he doesn’t really know his type when it comes to men , he’s just enjoying the view for now . AND THAT’S THE END OF FUN FACTS !
wanted connections ? ANYTHING
BEATRICE ‘BEA’ RYDER has been accepted to participate ! they are a 26 year old all the way from NEW JERSEY, US . SHE is currently studying EDUCATION at the interchange .
name: beatrice ryder nicknames: bea birthday: 11/02/1995 age: 26 years zodiac: scorpio gender: cis female pronouns: she/her sexuality: bisexual, biromantic height: 5′7 born: new jersey, us major: education likes: attention, being liked, dogs, her giant teddy named boog, grunge, lingerie, red lipstick, thunderstorms, ripped jeans, sex, knives, dreaming, cigarettes, licorice, loud music, grilled cheese, black clothes, instagram, london dislikes: goodbyes, forgetting, nightmares, being ignored, drugs, numbness, water, bears, misunderstandings, loneliness, biting her tongue, models, wigs, being told what to do, mood swings, time, boba tea, commercial airlines, dares
beatrice is a personality crisis disguised as a human being.
ever since she was a little girl, she’s travelled the world. her parents never wanted to stay in one place very long, so they would uproot her anytime they got the notion to leave, ripping her away from any friends she’d made. on the bright side she’s been able to see so many beautiful places. on the downside... don’t get her started.
at thirteen life seemed to take a downward spiral and she woke up one day not quite feeling like herself. she hasn’t felt like herself since.
her emotions are haywire. she can change her mood on the drop of a dime and she cannot control it. one moment she’ll be screaming over nothing and the next, laughing as if nothing happened.
though loved deeply and spoiled by her parents, bea has never felt much support from them. they always denied anything was wrong with her in spite of her outrageous mood swings, refused to get her help as a teenager.
she’s gone to therapy but it hasn’t done much good.
bea longs for stability but thrives on chaos.
high school was both the best and worst time of her life. a lot of drama went down at her school in london, some of the things that happened were horrible, but it was the first time she’d truly felt like she had found a place in the world.
after graduating she felt more lost and alone than ever.
not one person has ever not left her. even her parents continuously switch up where they’re going. all of her friends have vanished. love doesn’t last. so, okay, maybe she has some trust issues.
she’s modeled over the years and has a decent following on social media. though she couldn’t care less about being famous she has to admit she likes the attention.
she is very, very attention oriented. bad or good, she wants to be seen.
was kicked out of one of her fashion events for punching another model in the nose. whatever, she asked for it.
you’ll often find her drowning her sorrows.
she has always hoped to be a mom but is starting to think that’s out of the cards for her.
literally no idea what she wants out of life or herself. she has no idea who she is or why she’s studying to be a teacher. she learned what felt like a lifetime ago, she just has to go with the flow. so here she is, trying to do just that.
“She ain't got no money. Her clothes are kinda funny. Her hair is kinda wild and free. Oh, but Love grows where my Rosemary goes“
Sunshine “Sunny” Lewis. 21. Junior. Creative writing/Journalism Major
Sunny grew up with what some might call hippie parents, she was raised up on a large farm with a bunch of animals and plenty of land to run around with her three brothers. It was her ideal life until they had to move back to the city to take care of her grandma.
She fell in love with reading when she was a kid and over time that mophed into her love of writing. Sunny loves coming up with whole worlds in her head as well as sharing it with other people.
Being an optimist in the world at times can be hard but she thinks it’s much braver to be kind.
Her family made her come to this school, they wanted her to explore and see the world other then the one she made up in her head.
She’s vegan because she loves animals so much that every time she looks at a burger she imagines the cow staring back at her saying ‘don’t eat meeee’.
Her style is very very vintage inspired, everything in her closet is either thrifted or from a small business.
Her favorite flowers are daisies
Her favorite ice cream is strawberry
DECEMBER ADAMOS has been accepted to participate ! they are a 25 year old all the way from LONDON, ENGLAND . HE is currently studying MARINE BIOLOGY at the interchange .
name: december adamos nicknames: n/a birthday: 12/01/1996 age: 26 years zodiac: sagittarius gender: cis male pronouns: he/him sexuality: bisexual, biromantic height: 5′11 born: london, england major: marine biology likes: cigarettes, beer, whiskey, being not broke, sex, pizza, guitar, marijuana, tequila, his mom, running away from his problems, baked goods, alone time, fast cars, naps, vodka, jogging, his hair being played with, motorcycles dislikes: aging, commitment, reading, holidays, birthdays, emotions, london, facing his problems, crowds, shopping, haircuts, school, routine, long sleeves, social media, mornings, dress codes, hair gel, his dad
see: constantly on a downward spiral.
december does not remember much about who he was before he was adopted. he was taken in by his adoptive family at eight years old, he’d been in foster care since he was an infant. he doesn’t know his previous name or his birth parents, or why he was given up. he doesn’t really care.
his adoptive father was awful. his mother was an angel.
a rebellious teenager constantly being punished, never changing. in the beginning he wasn’t trying to go against his parents’ wishes, he was just a rambunctious child that liked to have fun. then it turned into doing whatever he could to piss off the man that was raising him, whether it was sneaking out, going to parties, showing up to family events wasted.
he was kicked out as soon as it was legal for him to do so.
when his father died, he was a suspect for the murder, but there was never enough evidence to pin on him. he didn’t kill him. sometimes he wishes he would’ve had the nerve to kill him.
he has memory issues. probably caused by the heavy alcohol and drug use.
he’s been to rehab on more than one occasion, but it never sticks. he just can’t care enough to stop drinking.
has tried anything he can get his hands on. he hasn’t had the best experience with harder drugs, cocaine for example. he doesn’t enjoy the trip, so while he tends to steer clear of them he’s not against it either.
his inheritance was pinned on him staying sober, it was written in his dad’s will. he tried for a few months before deciding fuck it, the old man could have the last laugh.
will sleep with pretty much anyone.
probably has a child out there somewhere.
has serious commitment issues. he’s never been able to stick around in one place for very long or keep a job or relationship longer than a few months --- aside from one woman the last time he was sober. for nearly two years in his early twenties he’d made something of himself. he had started a career, a nice apartment, a woman he was in love with and planned to marry... then he relapsed and ruined it all.
he’s not sure what he’s hoping to get out of this school, but it’s better than being homeless while he travels, right?
he has no passion for marine biology. he drunkenly applied and got accepted. time to see how long he can bullshit his way through it.
no intentions of making it to thirty. he’s here for a good time, not a long time.
he’s not having a good time either, to be clear.
not a bad guy. he has a good heart, though corrupted. he isn’t rude to people unless he’s really irritated, he doesn’t want to hurt anyone. he’s just kind of given up at this point.
GERTRUDE ‘GERTIE’ GUERRA has been accepted to participate ! they are a 25 year old all the way from LONDON, ENGLAND . SHE is currently studying LAW at the interchange .
name: gertrude genevieve guerra nicknames: gertie, gert, g, gg birthday: 10/29/1997 age: 25 years zodiac: scorpio gender: cis female pronouns: she/her sexuality: bisexual, biromantic height: 5′5 born: london, england major: law likes: her cat sabbath, exercise, boxing, tom petty music, smoothies, colored pens, hummingbirds, lemonade, pubs, chili cheese fries, vodka, the smell of smoke, call of duty, baby carrots, olives, raspberries, skechers, thrillers, cooking dislikes: crying, junk food, homework, sand, orange juice, flip-flops, crocs, sappy movies, long fingernails, lavender, scratchy quilts, loud people, artificial grape flavor, reality tv, mainstream pop music, ketchup, pda, overused memes, mondays
gertrude was raised by a single mother with a ‘take no shit’ attitude. said attitude was passed down directly to her.
her number one passion in life is — or was — track. she had dreams of being an olympic athlete, and she was certainly training hard enough to get there. she could outrun anyone that tried her. she was fucking good. then came her knee injury.
after two surgeries and a lot of denial, gertie had to kiss her plans for the future goodbye.
she’s still bitter, but tries to pretend she’s over it.
daddy issues? not at all. jk. lots of ‘em.
her dad didn’t abandon her exactly, but he basically did. when he left her mom he moved to another country and didn’t make much effort to see his only daughter. too many ‘i got too caught up with work to wish you a happy birthday, sorry baby’s and promised trips that never happened.
she does not like being called gertrude unless it’s by someone she likes. really likes. they get a free pass.
she has a black cat back at home with her mama named sabbath.
she adores her mother, though they don’t have the most affectionate relationship. her mother thinks she should be strong and not let anything bother her. she’s pushed that onto her since she was a little girl, and it’s probably why she cannot healthily express her emotions.
the only way she knows how to process her feelings is to take it out on punching bags.
is only in this school because elle is here and she wasn’t willing to be without her.
she gets super attached to the people she cares about. she doesn’t necessarily show it but when she loves, she loves hard, and if you have gertie you’ve always got her.
loyal af, basically.
she definitely believes in love and has even been in it before, but is terrified of getting hurt or giving someone the ‘power’ to hurt her.
v sarcastic. good luck getting a serious conversation minus the wit out of her.
she is not mean. really, she’s not. but she is far from nice.
definitely a bit of a tomboy. not one to wear a dress, skirt, or overdo her makeup.
