- WHERE YOU START
Name: Katerina Cassandra Crown
Age: 26
DOB: August 27th, 1996
Hometown: New Orleans, LA
Occupation: Ghost Hunter / Podcaster
Relationship Status: Single
- CAN WE SKIP TO THE GOOD PART
New Orleans, birth place of amazing music, food, Mardi Gras...Katerina Crown. Much like her hometown, she grew up just as infused with the magic and mystery around her. She learned to play the trumpet and guitar by the time she was 11, knew most of the haunted hot spots, and could cook a mean jambalaya by the time she hit 15.
Her parents thought she might go for a degree in philosophy with how many times she read Aristotle’s works, or maybe she’d become a mechanic with much time she spent hanging out in her dad’s auto shop after school. She had a mind for whatever she put it too, an intellect to pick up whatever was put in front of her. So what she did next shocked everyone.
When her family hit hard times; the family bar suffered an electrical fire with innumerable damage, her dad’s shop let him go, and her grandfather’s medical bills started to add up...Kate started to put her dancing skills to use. She became an exotic dancer in college, making more money than she possibly could imagine. She helped pay for her family bills whilst her parents looked for work and fixed the bar back up, all the while Kate studied her arse off at uni.
A relationship that started between her and, what she thought was a decent regular at the bar, turned sour and in the middle of her 4 years of college Kate found herself needing an escape. She transferred schools after breaking up with her ex before he could get anymore violent, and headed out to NYC. She picked up a job as a bartender at nights and a waitress on the weekends this time round, and sent as much money as she could back home to help her family.
At one point, the idea for a ghost hunting podcast came to her. Whether she was inebriated or sober is anyone’s guess, but it was a crazy idea that she ran with, recruiting a friend of hers to join her on the escapade. What started as something small and a hobby quickly grew into a popular podcast and youtube channel (think buzzfeed unsolved / ghost files) that Kate’s incredible for. She occasionally picks a bartending shift every now and then for extra cash, but soon enough she found that the podcast and channel raked in enough money where she didn’t have to work two other jobs.
Personality wise, she’s whiskey in a shot glass, or a freshly baked pie. A refreshing breath of air if you will, plucky and quirky, her own person who thrives on breaking standards and carving her own path. She loves country & 80′s music, fixing old muscle cars and playing video games. She tends to be observant, where she’ll analyze a situation before jumping feet first...but isn’t afraid to dive into something either. She’ll happily pick the lock to your ex’s place if you want to get your stuff when they’re not there, or will bake you cookies and give you her favorite sweatshirt to comfort you. 10/10 will roll up in heelies & heart shaped sunglasses, sipping a margarita saying sup while ‘animal’ by def leopard plays in the distance vibes

Welcome to the Empire City, [MELANIE WOLFE]. We hope you are finding everything okay because we know that this city can be difficult to explore. We heard that you are a/an [FORTY] year old who is a/an [NURSE] and identifies as [SHE/HER], is that true? If so it totally makes sense since people would associate [SAFE PLACE TO LAND BY SARA BAREILLES] with you. You’ve been here since [TEN YEARS] and nobody has told you that you look exactly like [HILARIE BURTON]?!
Since Melanie was young she always kept to herself, she always felt more comfortable with her own company. She loved to take the time to learn and understand as much of the world as she could. If there was a chance to step out of her shell or step back and observe she’d always chose that latter. Although it wasn't long where she no longer had a choice. When her parents gradually weren't around for and her siblings. It'd started as an evening to a few days at a time to a week. But Melanie filled the role of caretaker quite naturally, taking care of her parents when they were around and her siblings.
Of course there were the good and bad times, but she stood strong through all of it. But standing strong took a lot of time and energy, barley leaving her any time for herself. It almost felt like if she kept working, she'd find a way to fix it. She made promises to her siblings that things would be okay and there was no way she'd go back on her word. Her care for others even extended past her siblings, it was everyone around her. She would take people in who needed her, over the years she'd become a fierce protector.
It wasn't until finishing high school that she realized she had to make decisions for herself. Melanie had to figure out what the next steps would be, what jobs she'd have to take or even what career to pursue. There were so many odd jobs she had over the years to pay the bills. She already had ideas of what places could give her more hours. Setting the goal to help get her siblings to get through high school. It was a few years after high school that she finally found her calling, nursing.
And when the time was right she took the chance to follow her passion. She applied for several scholarships, scraped up any savings she had and hit the ground running. And less than ten years later she is in her dream career, a registered nurse who was working on her masters. It felt like she finally made it, made all her goals a reality. Although after that sparkle wore down she realized she was in her mid thirties and she couldn't remember the last time she felt like she could make choices for her own benefit. It was like a overnight change for her, she stepped out of her shell. She put herself out there, she learned how to stand up for herself and defend herself.
But what she never prepared herself for was to meet someone that turned her whole world upside down. Someone who not only tested her but showed her she didn't have to carry the world on her shoulders. She didn't need to do everything by herself, she could be taken care of as well. Now here she is six years later and married with a child. Finally trying to correct all of the mistakes her parents made and leave a better impression on the world around her.
Welcome to the Empire City, [AUTUMN HOLLIDAY]. We hope you are finding everything okay because we know that this city can be difficult to explore. We heard that you are a/an [TWENTY-SIX] year old who is a/an [MUSICIAN/DANCER AT SAPPHIRE] and identifies as [SHE/HER], is that true? If so it totally makes sense since people would associate [LANDSLIDE BY FLEETWOOD MAC] with you. You’ve been here since [EIGHT YEARS] and nobody has told you that you look exactly like [FLORENCE PUGH]?!
While most kids dream of their parents not being around, being able to do what they want and make the rules. Except this was Autumn Holliday’s reality, she was the product of another one of her mothers one night stands on her holiday. Early on she learned the only consistent thing in her life were her siblings and music. But if there was one thing she took from her mother it was learning how think of yourself and doing what makes you happy. Autumn took that idea and went running. If her mother could put herself first, so could she.
One of the many things that made her happy was music, at first she just loved listening to it then she wanted to learn it. She wanted to know everything that went into making a song what it was. Autumn took on learning the piano and guitar, even taking a try at songwriting. It became her whole focus, she was determined for this to become her career. Something that she could spend her whole life doing.
And when she turned 18 she finally felt like she got the chance to make that a reality when she left her home in Sydney, Australia. It was hard for her to turn down a chance to be in New York City. Of course she knew it wouldn't be easy, but she was ready to do what it would take. Once she left her hometown she didn't look back, she hasn't even heard from her mother. Of course she still missed it from time to time, her life, her siblings but she deserved more.
It has been hard work but the band is making movement and getting attention. But not well enough where this could be Autumns full focus. So on the side to bring in more money she works at Sapphire as a dancer. A perfect job for a person who claimed to be detached and independent. Her quick wit and attitude made her well known at the club. The money is an amazing bonus but she knows this isn't what she plans to do forever. It was a way to pay the bills until her dream could become her reality.
Welcome to the Empire City, [CARMEN TORRES]. We hope you are finding everything okay because we know that this city can be difficult to explore. We heard that you are a/an [THIRTY-FOUR] year old who is a/an [MODEL AND INFLUENCER] and identifies as [SHE/HER], is that true? If so it totally makes sense since people would associate [YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL BY LANA DEL REY] with you. You’ve been here since [FIVE YEARS] and nobody has told you that you look exactly like [SHAY MITCHELL]?!
Carmen was born and raised in California with her mother and family who loved and adored her. Early on she didn’t have a father figure in her life, she knew she had one that support her and sent money every month, but she didn’t know much else. While part of her wanted to know who this mystery man was, she knew all she needed was her mother and the family that she had. The woman who loved her and taught her everything she knew, despite her young age when she had her. When she got older she finally learned more about her father, her mother and James met while her mother off on a modeling job and they had a short fling. When she found out she was pregnant she informed him, she didn’t have any expectation. But was surprised when she found out that he had also gotten another woman pregnant as well and that he planned on marrying her. So in hopes to keep her quiet so the couple could start their own family he promised to pay them as much as they needed and wanted to keep her and her family quiet.
Of course her mother, Ana didn’t need the money but she didn’t say no to it, especially for the sake of her daughter. She was a young and rebellious model who came from a wealthy family that gladly spoiled her. Ana had already managed to build her own empire through modeling and fashion so she had no concern with acting out and doing crazy things. Being able to live her life and enjoy it was important to her. She was always proud of her work but her proudest accomplishment was her daughter, Carmen. After having her she came first and her work second. Carmen got what she wanted, items, support and love.
She didn’t let turn into a bump in the road or take over her life, her mother made sure of it. Ana always made she she was there for her daughter but never smothered her. She taught Carmen how to be confident and proud of who she was. Constantly reminding her of how important her happiness was and how it was okay to do what you need to make sure she could get it. Her mother never wanted her daughter to live with regrets in her life, she wanted her daughter to live her life and have fun when she could. In some people’s eyes it may not have been the best advice but it has worked so well for the both of them. Why would they stop now? So to say that Carmen has had many moments where she was selfish or manipulative would be an understatement. Of course she could be kind to people but only if she truly cared about them or possibly saw it to be something that could benefit her in some way. That combined with her looks and confidence had always made her an alluring person anywhere she went. Anywhere her and her mother traveled in their life she was able to thrive. Even from schooling to when she was ready to explore the world outside of what she knew.
And when she graduated she took the world by storm. Immediately making a name for herself on social media and in the fashion industry. Not even a year after and she was traveling constantly for work. Modeling gigs, commercials, photoshoots left and right. And that didn't even cover all of the brand deals she had as well. It has been non stop ever since, but the older she got the more she realized it may be nice to plant more roots. That is when she got a place in New York, that she has now had for a few years. Of course it can't compare to home, but she's warmed up to it. And maybe, just maybe, part of her wonders what it would be like to slow down and maybe make more commitments. But would she admit that? Never.
Welcome to New York SIDNEY NORTON. We hope you are finding everything okay because we know that this city can be difficult to explore. We heard that you are a 27-year-old who is a BARTENDER and identifies as CIS-MALE is that true? If so it totally makes sense since people would associate OIL ON CANVAS, OREGON WOODS, and PINK PRINCESS TOYS EVERYWHERE with you. You’ve been here since 2017 / 5 YEARS and nobody has told you that you look exactly like NICK ROBINSON?!
Sid was born the eldest son of his town's preacher, leaving him neck deep in responsibilities and expectations of how he should live and act. leaving him very much uptight, and leaning more onto the innocent side of things. he'd never drunk, done anything illegal, was firmly on waiting until marriage, and was a virgin well into his 20s
All throughout his childhood he never really felt comfortable with the idea of spending his life with who was expected of him. He kept finding himself looking at boys in the locker room all throughout middle and high school more than his gaze traveled when it came to women but never once did he even dear think the thought that he was anything but straight.
To distract himself, he got heavily into art, diving deep into styles like Baroque, Rococo and Academism.. All style era’s he pulls inspiration from when he paints, and it there something he’s proud of its about the art he makes. Despite never having showed anyone..
In his early 20s, he met Fallon Hexner. The first man he truly fell for, he was his first everything. his first ‘relationship’, first kiss, and the man that ended up taking his virginity, and he was head over heels for him, convincing himself that fallon was his person, his forever.
but only 6 months after they’d met, fallon left town without saying much, and he never saw him after that..
heartbroken sid for the first time in his life started spiralling quite the bit afterwards, he started drinking more, and came across people he shouldn’t have associated with. and soon after he met a girl..
they had a mess of a romance, where she early on proved to not be the best for him, or for herself for that matter.. she drank, did drugs etc. but sid promised he’d take care of her.. so the two moved across country to nyc, where they tried to get by for almost a year or so..
one day he learned that the woman he was with was pregnant with his baby.. the entire pregnancy was rough, as his girlfriend struggled staying sober, something which resulted him her being born a bit too early, that day was the very best day of his life..
but not long after his daughters mother would pass due to complications the drugs had on her body.. leaving him alone with a premature newborn to raise on his own.
and now at 3, it’s really showing that sid has done an amazing job with his daughter, working as hard as he can to provide anything she wants.. He’s even started painting more as his work actually sells for OK money. but still has a job as a bartender at a night club
He’s also just working on himself.. not having seen anyone since the death of his baby’s mother..
Welcome to New York [KITTIYA VAN DIJCK]. We hope you are finding everything okay because we know that this city can be difficult to explore. We heard that you are a/an [31] year old who is a/an [ADULT ACTRESS] and identifies as [SHE/HER], is that true?

You’ve been here since [OCTOBER 2022] and nobody has told you that you look exactly like [DAVIKA HOORNE]?!
cw: mention of underage drinking/drugs, p'rn, abandonment, pregnancy
History;;
kittiya grew up an only child in LA, her father was an old businessman, that came from old money. the kind where both he, herself, her children, and their children could live and never have to work ever.
So she never really made that much of an effort into making a career part out of anything. she kept to parties, drinking, and the occasional attempt at drugs.. neither was things she enjoyed all that much, but did as her friends did until she turned 18.. where she was offered the chance to get into adult entertainment.
kitti jumped at the chance and did so VERY successfully. where with the years she became quite popular.
throughout her 20s, she knew to take advantage of the finer things that life presented her. like when a certain older man who just so happened to be a pilot, would whisk her away for the most amazing getaway weekends. and how she loved it, and despite catching feelings, she did her best to not let it get to her.
although she'd promised herself not to date or develop feelings with ANYONE she worked with, she ended up failing at it miserably as she met and was supposed to work with a boy named Logan, who was younger than herself. And they sorta just hit it off really well and ended up becoming a couple. The two ended up exclusively working together, she was promised everything. Sharing a life together and everything alongside it.
But one day he up and left out of the blue, never to be seen again. and months later, at 29, she would find out she was pregnant. which logan never found out about, and that she's now raising said daughter on her own.
She's now moved to NYC last fall, along with her one-year-old daughter to continue her work away from LA.

Name: Theodore Isaiah Wolfe Ford
Age: Thirty. “It’s the new 25″
zodiac sign: Sagittarius.
Sexuality: Bisexual.
Relationship status: Married @bottleboizepplin
chaoticity ensues in one, two, three ,...
Theo is lowkey-highkey chaotic, OTT like 90% of the time, for absolute not reason other than the fact that he can be.
he has a habit of going off in tangents, regardless of the conversation, whether it be serious or not, and will often make very little sense ,
he’s two halves of a whole idiot.
cause of death: didn’t get attention for more than 5 minutes.
flirtatious in the way THAT gives major himbo energy,
he’s very much ‘are we flirting? or are you starting a fight? either way are we going to make out’
He’s hair is natural curly, short to medium length.
has small tattoos scattered over his body, one being off Cynthia from rugrats on his bicep. here.
Has a little problem with staying sober.
Very much high 99.99% of the time.
probably the hottest thing about him is the fact that he can make mac and cheese, without looking at the box because he has the directions memorised.
however, he has accidentally more than once, almost burned down the kitchen due to leaving a pot on the stove, and completely forgetting about it.
Legally married to Zepplin Ford, though they’re keeping it on the down low and only a very few people are aware. One of them being his brother.
VERY SHORT, VERY BRIEF BACKSTORY.
As the story goes, man meets woman, man and woman fall into bed, and 10 months later a child is born. It was the simple story of how Theodore Wolfe came to be. A child born from an adulterous affair between his mother, a woman who’s name he had only heard mentioned a handful of times, and his father, an unfaithful man on his third marriage by the time he was thirty-three, with 5 kids, each with a different mother.
He’s mother had fallen pregnant 2 months into the relationship — could it even be called a relationship? she was twenty-two, while he was bordering thirty, It was nothing short of a toxic relationship, like most married men, he had promised to leave his wife, promised that they could start a family, but those promises had been short lived. Theo’s mother died shortly after his birth due to complications.
It was his birth that unraveled and ultimately ended his fathers second marriage, he couldn’t keep a newborn secret for too long, when he was the only living custodial parent.. surprisingly It wasn’t his affair with his second grade school teacher that ended his third marriage, It was his addiction to alcohol, drugs and his inability to keep a paycheque. And that’s not to mention his issues with anger.
After spending the majority of his early years living in the UK, It was when he was fifteen, that child services removed him from his fathers care, after one too many visits to the A&E with broken burns, and unexplained bruises. He was relocated to the US, where he was placed into the care of his paternal grandparents, while his father came and went from his life as he pleased.
Initially, after moving in with his grandparents, things looked okay on the surface, but things were progressively getting worse. Theo became more out of control, and showed no regard for his grandparents rules, and It wasn’t long till they kicked him out, and he had no where to turn. It was months of him sofa surfing, until a one night stand who left cash on the bedside table, turned into a 10+ yer career.
As an Adult, Theo prefers to keep a distance from his father, and chooses not to have a relationship with him, and keeps the truth of what his father is really like from his older brother. So, instead he sends his father money each month.
