about [ death, parental neglect, military, internalized homophobia tw ]
javier reyes ruiz was born and raised in dallas, texas to a stay at home mother and a soldier father. he grew up very disciplined and with a strong work ethic. javier always looked up to his father and wanted to be just like him.
unfortunately, his relationship with his father was short lived. a freak accident during a training caused his father’s death, and javi’s mom was never the same after that. the two moved to jasper for a fresh start. javier ended up being more of the parent than his mom was, effectively raising himself from that point on.
after graduating high school, he knew what he was going to do. at eighteen, jr enlisted in the army, where he spent most of his life going on multiple tours overseas.
after his first tour, jr came home for a bit, which was when he met the man who would later become his fiance. being gay in the military wasn’t really something that was accepted or spoken about, so jr kept his relationship a secret from both his family and his colleagues.
though they never married, jr and his fiance started a family together, welcoming a set of fraternal twins (one girl and one boy) into the world. javi’s best friend donated her eggs to them and biologically, he’s the father to both children.
when the kids were in middle school, javier retired from the military and started training to be a firefighter so he could stay stateside to be with his family.
readjusting to civilian life was hard on him, and it had an effect on his relationship. though they tried to work things out, all of the years of secrecy and time apart had taken its toll, and by the time their kids were started high school, they were broken up. (their kids are seniors in high school now)
though he’s dated on and off since, javier hasn’t found anyone else he’s wanted to commit to, sticking to casual dating and one night stands to fill the void.
work wise, he’s worked hard and gone through the ranks, becoming the captain at firehouse 17 a few years ago - an accomplishment he’s extremely proud of.

mallory has spend a majority of her adult life in jasper , moving here with her then - fiancee. she married her husband here , had her two beautiful kids here , and buried her husband here far too soon. it feels like her entire life has been in jasper , so her roots run pretty deep , unable to even consider leaving.
mallory lost her husband a couple years ago. it was a traumatic accident , a sudden loss. the grief was overwhelming , but mallory buried herself in work and making sure her kids were okay. she very quickly started to despise the pity people gave her , wanting to be something more than a widow. even now , she seems to ignore the cracks in her life that remain in the aftermath.
mallory used to be very go - with - the - flow ; she liked her quieter moments , didn't mind a lull in the day. ever since her husband passed , she can't seem to sit still anymore. she has to go go go … she needs to keep herself busy and focused on something , anything. it's why she's always volunteering , be it for her children's school or some local fundraiser. still , she'll be happy to pencil you in if you want to make plans.
mallory is fiercely protective of her people ; she's sweet and caring , until someone she loves is threatened. everyone at the pta loves her until a real issues arises. a problem that affects her child personally ? good luck trying to get mallory to back down.
for better or worse , mallory could be what you call a helicopter parent ; she's a bit too active in her children's lives. she's always on top of all their activities. she's the first to volunteer for all class events and / or whatever is needed for their sports teams. she keeps herself busy , obviously , but she likes the idea of her kids' calendars being just as jam packed. her ten year old , matthew , is especially relieved when she's busy outside the family , and he can be left to his own devices for a bit …
𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 ...
in - laws ( utp ) : ( for the sake of simplicity , bennett can be mallory's maiden name ) family members of her late husband ! his siblings , cousins , even spouses of his siblings ! mallory has withdrawn slightly from her late husband's family since his death , though for the sake of her kids , she tries to maintain connections to varying levels of success.
co - workers at prestige tea co ( utp ) : mallory is very serious about work , trying to keep things going and looking picture perfect ( even when everything is falling apart behind the scenes ). she's even there on her days off , “ checking in ”. she's a fairly considerable boss , but somedays that little stressed out vein pops out. she wants things done a particular way , and if she can't verbalize that nicely , well … she'll just try to do it herself.
regulars at prestige tea co ( utp ) : mallory is very ‘ boots on the ground ’ , if you will. she's always roaming , checking in on the patrons to make sure everything is as desired. thus , she recognizes all the regulars and is no stranger to throwing in a free dessert for her favorites. gotta reward the loyalty !
pta members ( utp ) : mallory is very active in her kids lives , and thus that means being active in the parent - teacher association too. she is quick to volunteer her services , where applicable , as she loves to keep herself busy. some people say she may be a bit overinvolved and needs to stop spreading herself so thin ...
old friends ( utp , slight pref f ) : people who knew mallory and her husband. they were a pair , attached at the hip , so it's natural their mutual friends still might have some lingering pitiful looks for the widow. they notice the changes since , even if they haven't brought it up. things can be awkward , at times , but things are still good , right ?
new friends ( utp ) : friends mallory has made more recently , ones who only know the current version of her.

regarding › tidbits.
gianna is incredibly detail - oriented. she is the not the type of person who'd want to have any inaccuracies pointed out in her work , so she always does thorough research and asks a second set of eyes to double check her work as well. she's thorough in everything that she does , but especially when it comes to journalism.
gianna's generally an approachable sort of individual. she's a social butterfly , and extremely extroverted. she isn't exactly fond of silence , so she likes to fill space with some sort of noise. she's energetic and has never had issues with making friends , something she's extremely grateful for. she likes to keep herself busy.
initially from lakeville , minnesota , gianna and her family moved to town when she was fourteen , right before she started high school after her father was offered a surgical position at jasper general that he couldn't pass up. she enjoyed the change of scenery and hasn't had any desire to move despite the fact that both of her parents have since moved to san diego after her father's retirement.
fiercely protective of her friends. while she's not always a confrontational person , she won't hesitate to stand up for someone that she cares about. she's as loyal as they come , and anyone who knows her is well aware of that.
gianna's parents have always been her biggest fans and have consistently supported her in everything she's ever done in life. while her career path was something much less demanding and profitable than those of her parents , they were just thrilled to see their daughter happy.
despite their busy careers , gianna's parents always showed up for her. they showed her what real love looks like , and she knows to never settle for anything less. she's incredibly close to her parents , and regularly visits them since they've retired to san diego.
gianna would consider herself a people pleaser without treading into ' pushover ' territory. she enjoys making others happy , but not at the expense of her own happiness.
she can almost always be seen with a pen and notebook with her as well as a portable charger to keep her phone charged. she never wants to miss out on any opportunities to tell a story and be as authentic as possible.
gianna is the type of person who loves to surround herself with people. friendships are extremely important to her and she puts a lot of effort into maintaining them. she's the friend who will go all out for birthdays and holidays. she genuinely gets a great deal of joy from taking care of the people in her life and putting smiles on their faces.
she's the type of person who has a fully detailed and fleshed out physical calendar. it is color coded and something she takes a great deal of pride in. she is the planning type. if she ever travels with friends , she's the one delegated with handling the itinerary due to her remarkable attention to detail.
regarding › connections.
roommate ; gianna's been roommates with them for at least three years. i'd say they have a comfortable dynamic after living together for three years. open to expanding this dynamic and fully fleshing it out into something fun & exciting. she doesn't necessarily need a roommate , she just enjoys having company.
neighbor ; another pretty open / basic connection ! someone who lives next door to her and her roommate. they could get along well or have some ridiculously petty beef , honestly ! i love neighbor connections and love exploring with them !
inspiration; someone a few years older than gianna who has been a journalist / reporter in town for quite awhile. they have a friendly relationship and would be the reason she pursued a career in journalism !
cheeks pink in the twinkling lights ; would absolutely love a romance for her ! perhaps someone she's known for years or someone relatively new in her life ! this would be a tender / soft - hearted dynamic which works exceptionally well for gianna !
fellow journalist / reporter ; gianna and this individual often bounce ideas off one another. they get along well and spend a lot of time together. they know each other's coffee orders and have spent many late nights together.
karaoke partner ; gianna loves karaoke , she's not one to be self - conscious about her singing voice whatsoever. she does karaoke to have a good time. i'd love for her to have someone in her life who's just as carefree as she is who she can always count on for a duet.
friends ; she can never have enough friends tbh ! she's always putting herself out there and has a wide array of different individuals in her life , so i'd love to get a bunch of unique friendships going for her.
ex ; they could've broken up years ago or a little more recently ! the split likely would've been amicable. they probably just wanted different things and decided to part ways rather than allow resentment to grow between them.

tw death
name: kiran naina aryal
age: 40
gender: cis female
sexuality: pansexual
job: owner & tattoo artist of final draft
backstory:
kiran was born to two loving parents. they doted upon her and adored her more than anything in the world. born in jasper, her parents were on the poor side. life was a bit difficult, but she didn't even notice or care. they gave her everything they could, fed her good food, and treated her like a princess. but tragedy struck when she was twelve years old. her parents were in a car crash on their way to pick her up from school. she went immediately to live with her grandmother. but she couldn't take care of her for much longer. it was only a few months before she was put in the foster system. it was rough, difficult, and honestly hurt her quite a bit. but she learned very quickly who was special to her and who would take care of her.
from a very young age, kiran was drawing. she'd draw on anything she could, and always had sketchbooks. when she was bored in the foster homes, she'd draw all over herself, creating temporary tattoos. she knew that they'd fade away, but it was the honor of having something beautiful on herself. (she has temporary tattoos that are premade and ones that she can make for kids at the tattoo shop)
when she was fifteen, she was adopted by a wonderful family who took wonderful care of her. she hadn't expected it, but they wanted to give her the world. she learned that they protected anyone, and now, she will do the same. she's not afraid of fighting for what she believes in, and in fact, can get a little intense about it.
kiran can be aggressive, abrasive, and honestly really intense. she knows she can be a lot, and knows that she rubs some people the wrong way and doesn't really care. that's who she is, and nothing an change her.
headcanons:
she was an orphan at the age of twelve and was bounced around the foster system until she found a family when she was a teenager that took care of her. But because of that, she wants to make sure that she’s always protective of those who need it. She’s harsh about it, and passionate, a little too much sometimes. Like she’s the kind of person that would go ALL out for someone she cares about.
Her first tattoo was what she would now say is stereotypical, it was a flower for her mother. But it still means the world to her. It’s on her wrist and she loves looking at it every day. Her tattoo style has grown since then, and she loves helping out with drawing ideas for her clients and specializes in line art and beautiful colors. She wants to make sure people hold meaning with their tattoos.
She writes poetry in her spare time. She has specific colored notebooks for each genre of poetry she writers. Occasionally she will write something for her friends or someone she loves but she WILL NOT tell anyone about it just naturally. In fact, she’s kind of embarrassed about it. She thinks it makes her less strong (which is not true my dear)

about [ pregnancy tw ]
born and raised in jasper, genevieve was always meant for more. she had dreams of becoming a doctor, but life had other plans for her.
as a teenager, she was convinced that what her parents didn’t know wouldn’t hurt them, and quickly found herself in a relationship with a boy who was completely wrong for her. he was everything she wasn’t, and she fell hard for the bad boy she knew her parents would disapprove of. it wasn’t long before she got swept up in the relationship, and only a few months after they had started having sex, she found herself with a positive pregnancy test.
at the age of fifteen, she gave birth to their son, jaxon, and shortly after, she dropped out of high school, working odd jobs here and there to help support their family.
things only went downhill with the relationship with her baby’s father from there, and even though genevieve was in love with him and wanted them to be a family, things didn’t work out that way. the constant fighting, never being around, and cheating on his part led them to break up, though genevieve always seemed to have a hard time saying no whenever he came around begging to see her again, claiming that she was the only girl for him.
it was a dangerous game, one that resulted in another pregnancy - this time, a baby girl named jasmine who was born when genevieve was eighteen.
while pregnant with her daughter, genevieve started doing work as a cam girl in order to better support herself and her son. throughout her pregnancy, she gained a small following, one that only grew after she gave birth. camming brought in money, but with two mouths to feed and unreliable child support from her ex, genevieve knew that it wasn’t enough.
so as soon as she was back in shape, she took up stripping in order to provide for her children.
though genevieve has gotten her ged, further schooling is on the back burner, her attention focused on raising and providing her children instead.

gus previously lived in jasper , moving to town not long after graduating college. however , six years ago , he suddenly left. he made his quiet return over the summer , but he isn't trying to make his return too grand. he'd rather not answer questions on why he left ... still a bit of a sore spot.
gus has a habit of seeing the best in people ; seeing people for their potential rather than their flaws. he likes to think this works out for him more often than not. sadly , this does mean he's fallen victim to a few bad apples here and there.
gus used to bounce around with the grade levels he taught , first as a substitute teacher then whatever was open more long - term , but he found himself most drawn to the younger kids. he's drawn in by their endless potential and wonder ; he's always down for a little pretending while working on his craft skills.
while gus spends plenty of hours working on stuff for his class , he can easily be found wandering around town ; either he's on his own little adventure or maybe he finally roped a friend into joining his shenanigans. since he was gone so long , he's sort of trying to make up for lost time.
if you let him , gus will happily go on tangents ; be it updates about his students or whatever has piqued his interest most recently , you may receive an earful. it's not that he likes to hear himself talk , but he's never been the biggest fan of the sound of silence …
𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 ...
the reason he left ( m pref , but plot dependent ) : gus disappeared from jasper six years ago , and this person is why. keeping it flexible , but possible ideas are these two "ran away" together impulsively or it was a relationship that truly blew up in gus' face so he had to get away. it's still a sore subject , but gus is finally sucking it up and trying to face the music.
roommate(s) ( utp ) : not only does gus need help splitting the rent , but gus isn't the type of live alone anyways. could be a random roommate , strangers at first that gus is trying to befriend ; or a prior friend that's helping gus out.
old friends ( utp ) : friends from before gus went mia ! he lived in jasper for a little over five years , disappeared for six , and is suddenly back ! surely , they have some catching up to do ...
reluctant friend ( utp ) : dare i say … gus can be a little annoying , but he will try to wear you down. he doesn't care if you're old and grumpy , he thinks you should be friends. if only he knew how to take a hint …
fellow teachers ( utp ) : other teachers at jasper schools ! gus loves intermingling with other grades , in one way or another. he wouldn't mind trading some classroom decorating tips.
parents of students ( utp ) : gus teachers kindergarten ! so if you have any little ones in his class , well , he likely makes himself known in some way ; be it the notes or crafts he sends home with the little ones.
did I just see JACOB ANDERSON walking down the street? no, that was SEBASTIAN BURKHART. HE is an THIRTY-SIX year old who identifies as a MALE. I hear that they spend their days as a MANAGER at SUNSET SOUNDS. last I heard, they’ve been in town for ONE YEAR and were living in POPPY LANE. some people would say that they’re ANALYTICAL & CONTROLLING, but I wouldn’t judge a book by its cover!
Sebastian was born an raised in Grizzly Flats in a tiny trailer cluttered with his alcoholic mother hoardering. He didn't know what a clean house was or what dignified living meant, all he knew was the harshness of the tiny used mattress he shared with his sister and the beer can collection growing at everywhere he looked.
That of course, clashed with the vision he had for himself. Sebastian always been a dreamer, as his own head and fantasies were the places he would go in order to run away from reality. And that, alongside a tv screen time that went unchecked, made him sure that he was meant for big things. For jewerly, quality coats and shoes, good food and trips to italy. Reality was not for him.
That fantasy world he created, where he wasn't a poor boy that barely had what to eat most days, saved him from insanity, but it isolated him from the rest of his peers for the greatest part of his childhood and early teenage years.
Then he met Romeo, who became his first real friend, his first love, and the man who made him want to bring his fantasies into reality. No longer the shy and recluse kid, Sebastian started to grow into a confident man. Dreams became plans: trips that would happen between the two, their own house in a brand new city, parties they would throw for friends. Everything was looking up in his life.
And then Romeo got sick, and Sebastian ran away from reality once again. Devasted with the vision of seeing the man he loved dying in front of him, Sebastian prefered to look away.
He left town. Out of shame from his own decision, out of a need to keep pushing and not allow himself to daydream himself away again, and out of a need of doing something of himself. He still didn't have the money or life he dreamed. There was nothing but a job as a barista for his resume.
He barely stepped a foot in Los Angeles when that change.
Vincent was a 40 year old business man, who owned several record stores across the country. A veteran, who had made his name very young, and whom saw Sebastian sitting at a bar, drinking alone with his bags sitting by his foot, and decided that he would wipe the sorrow look out of the boy's face.
They both got married in the spring of the year they met. Sebastian was too young then, yet to have his 23th birthday, but he thought himself the smartest man alive. He got the life he wanted: the dream closet, the trips to italy. And that was dandy for his twenty year old something self.
For his thirty something year old self? That was a different story. Vincent spent more time travelling for business than anything else. And that was not ok with Sebastian, who let him know right off the bat what he thought
And after so much crying, his husband came up with the best present to calm his nerves: one of his record stores...in Jasper, his hometown and far away from him. And a nice house in Poppy Lane, How considerable.
ᝰ.ᐟ PERSONALITY
[pink = positive, blue = negative, purple = a mixed bag]
˙✧˖ Confident, intimidating and ambitious.
↪ As an adult, Sebastian became the type of man who commands the room by simply standing in it. People feel indimidated by his energy pretty easily.
˙✧ Analytical, Critical and a Controlling.
↪ Sebastian is the kind of person that has a list of "to do" while vacationing. Some people call him uptight, but he understands the power of organization better than anyone. And he expects the same kind of order in life and professionally from everyone around him. If you are not up to his standards, he will let you know by a look alone.
✧ Appreciative, Hospitable and Selfless.
↪ As much as he shows disappoint in those who don't meet his standards, he also vocalizes everything good he feels for those who do. He might not be the most overly affectionate person around, but those who please him will know how he feels. He is also the kind of friend who will always be there for you no matter what.
˙✧ Shy, private and discreet.
↪ Those who only got to know him as an adult probably don't see it that way, as he hides it pretty well, but part of the "intimidation" they feel is actually 70% shyness. He acts and reacts very coldly to people he doesn't know pretty well, but he means no harm by it.
˙✧ Cowardly and deflective.
↪ Sebastian won't take responsability for anything. Everything is always everybody else's fault.
other traits include: materialistic, sophisticated, quick to anger.
ᝰ.ᐟ FAVORITES:
✧ MOVIES: drop dead gorgeous, scream, all of us strangers and hereditary.
✧ BOOKS: giovanni's room, the bell jar and leaves of grass.
↪Sebastian is a hobbie collector. If you are attending a workshop there is a chance he is already there.
↪His favorite musician is Sade and his husband got her to perform on his 26th birthday party.
↪ He loves poetry and is a chronic note taker. Every poetry book (or any book for that matter) he has is filled with anotations.
↪ Even if he seems like an art snob, he loves low brow shit. Put in "Another Teen Movie" and he will laugh his ass off. He also loves horror movies.
↪ He is lactose intolerant
↪He loves food and he loves to cook. He is always throwing social events to show off his skills, and his favorite date idea is to try out a new restaurant.
↪ His biggest secret is that he has a tramp stamp. He did it as a teenager and he is mortified of anyone finding out.

about [ death tw ]
born to an incarcerated mother and a father that wasn't in the picture, dominic was raised by his grandparents in jasper. while they didn't have much, there was always food on the table, clothes on his back, and love in the home. sadly, nico's grandfather passed when he was still in elementary school. around the time he turned thirteen, it was determined that his grandmother could no longer care for him due to her declining health. with no other family to raise him, nico became a ward of the state and was put into foster care.
over the next few years, he bounced around from family to family, eventually ending up in a group home for older foster children. there he got close to one other kid, and they became a big brother of sorts to nico. however, they aged out of the home and nico was left alone again. shortly after he turned sixteen, he received the news his grandmother had passed, and with nothing and nobody left to keep him in jasper, he made the choice to leave town and never look back.
dominic became nico — shedding his old name, old life, and old personality. the once sweet, soft spoken boy became hardened, unable and unwilling to trust anyone but himself. he was the only person that would never leave, building up walls high enough to keep out anyone who even dared to try to get close enough.
eventually nico found himself settled in reno, nevada, working though an apprenticeship as a tattoo artist. it was the longest he had stayed in any city — until it wasn't. another failed relationship left nico without a place to live, and soon he was back on the road with his motorcycle.
nico never meant to end up back in jasper, but somehow his subconscious drove him there before he had even really registered it. though it didn't really feel like coming home; he was a completely different person than he was when he left. he never meant to stay, but it's been a year now and with a job at final draft, it seems like he's putting down roots whether he likes it or not.
