as always, ya girl is late. hi there, i’m allie and i’m too lazy to use a vine reference. i’m twenty years old and if the only way to save the world was through bobs burger quotes, you can count on me.
is that ( DOVE CAMERON ) ? good grief, no… that’s just ( ELEANOR KENNEDY ) the ( TWENTY FOUR ) year old ( ACTRESS ) from ( FIRST CLASS ). i’ve heard the stewards gossiping and they say she is ( NAIVE ) & ( COMPULSIVE ) but thankfully also ( KIND ) & ( LOYAL ). i also heard she is on board because ( THEY ARE HOPING TO FIND AN ELIGIBLE BACHELOR ON BOARD OR IN THE STATES )
i’ve been out all day, so i apologize if this intro is sloppy as hell. i’ll probably dish out the main points and then put up a real bio sometime within this week! let me know if you’d like to plot or brainstorm fro plots! i’m open to pretty much anything!
this babe comes from a v wealthy family.
her mother was an actress and her grandfather acted as well. her father is a v wealthy lawyer
her father has been trying to get eleanor to settle down with a wealthy man and just stay at home and take care of the children they’d have, but she’s stubborn and decided she’d run off to america. honestly, she does want a husband or like fiance or whatever, but she’d rather choose for herself .
personality wise, shes v sweet and if you’re her friend, she’d do anything for you, but shes also so naive its not even funny. she can also be very witty.
gah like i said before, i’m struggling to write this tonight, so i’m going to leave it as that and i’ll let you guys know when i add onto it.
hey, hi, hello everyone !! my name is emma ( a tiny hufflepuff ) and this is maggie ( a snark-filled slytherin ) !! i wish i had something more clever to say to introduce myself but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. more about maggie (beyond her bio) under the cut !!
is that ( NATALIE DORMER ) ? good grief, no… that’s just ( MARGARET “MAGGIE” EMERSON ) the ( THIRTY ) year old ( HEIRESS ) from ( FIRST CLASS ). i’ve heard the stewards gossiping and they say she is ( HAUGHTY ) & ( BOASTFUL ) but thankfully also ( PRISTINE ) & ( POISED ). i also heard she is on board because ( SHE IS FETCHING HER REBELLIOUS SISTER FROM THE STATES ). she is played by ( EMMA, 17, SHE/HER, PST ).
— the name margaret means ❝ pearl ❞ ; though she prefers to go by the nickname maggie. ( partially because her baby sister, mary, called her ❝ maggie ❞ as a toddler since she couldn’t pronounce ❝ margaret ❞ and it ended up sticking. )
— she’s the heiress to a large fortune and still lives with her father. maggie’s grandmother lives with them as well, always has. maggie is very close to both of them.
— her mother died shortly after giving birth to mary, meaning maggie, mary, their father and their grandmother plus a group of servants were the sole occupants of the large estate.
— the sisters are five and a half years apart in age. they were always very close, though they didn’t tell each other everything... which was something maggie would come to regret.
— a few months prior to the titanic’ s journey, mary ran off to america in the middle of the night. she left behind a note saying that she hadn’t gone alone, and that she wished to be a movie star in new york. the note also said not to go looking for her.
— naturally, the rest of the family immediately devised a plan to go looking for her. their grandmother was too old, their father too busy, and the servants ( in maggie’s mind at least ) too untrustworthy. which left maggie herself.
— she brought the note and a photograph of mary with her on her journey ( as well as many, many outfits because maggie loves fashion and kinda flaunting her wealth ). secretly though, she’s afraid that once she gets to the states, she’ll be unable to find her sister.
— although she can get kinda snappy or sassy quickly, maggie honestly has good intentions ok. she’s just doin’ what she thinks is for the best.
— oh and she also kinda felt like a mother to mary in a way? since they never really had one? so she feels responsible for mary running away on that front ; she thinks she should have seen what was going to happen. she has a lot of insecurities regarding both this and other stuff and she's not as tough as she pretends to be tbh
— i can’t think of anything else to add at the moment, but if i do i’ll either add to this or post a separate lil’ thing about it !! thanks for reading this far, hehe.
— as for connection ideas, maybe someone who is/was friends with her sister? or like secretly knows about where mary is/what she’s doing. also maybe an enemy/animosity kind of relatonship? like ex-friends or maybe someone she meets and they just do not get along at all lol. ( because drama ) idk but i’m down for pretty much anything honestly !!
hello there !! i'm horrible at introductions so i'm gonna keep this one short & sweet: my name is megan, but you can call me meg. i'm twenty ( or, i will be on the 8th ), & i live in ohio ( est ) which is possibly the most boring state in the country ?? now, let's talk about jas a little bit..
is that ( HENRIK HOLM ) ? good grief, no… that’s just ( JASPER ANDERSEN ) the ( TWENTY-ONE ) year old ( PHOTOGRAPHER ) from ( SECOND CLASS ). i’ve heard the stewards gossiping and they say he is ( CLUMSY ) & ( MERCURIAL ) but thankfully also ( SIMPATICO ) & ( MAGNANIMOUS ). i also heard he is on board because ( HIS SISTER IS GETTING MARRIED IN AMERICA ).
i'll b writing up jasper's biography asap !! for now, here's a few details – he can be a bit merciless if you cross him. but, ninety-five percent of the time, he's a gentle soul & wants to befriend everyone!! he's been into photography since he was a lil boy. he was raised by his grandpa, who was a photographer, & jas always wanted to be just like the man who raised him. now, don't hesitate to hmu if you'd like to plot or just chat for a bit ! xoxo
hi y’all, it’s sarah. i’m obsessed with stranger things & food. this took me so long to write because i procrastinate at everything ( shocker ) so this will be terrible. okay here we go !! & don’t forget to hit me up to plot !!
IS THAT ( ADELAIDE KANE ) ? GOOD GRIEF, NO… THAT’S JUST ( ELEANOR WILLIAMS ) THE ( TWENTY-THREE ) YEAR OLD ( NURSE ) FROM ( SECOND CLASS ). I’VE HEARD THE STEWARDS GOSSIPING AND THEY SAY SHE IS ( NAIVE ) & ( LOUD ) BUT THANKFULLY ALSO ( CARING ) & ( ADVENTUROUS ). I ALSO HEARD SHE IS ON BOARD BECAUSE ( SHE WANTS TO WORK IN AMERICA ).
— * b a c k g r o u n d i n f o.
Eleanor Williams was born on may 7th 1889, and has two siblings and is originally from Scotland but moved to England when she was 18 with her middle class family.
she loves to get into trouble and she can be easily manipulated. she is very caring and protective over her friends and the injured/needy/weak ( due to being a nurse )
she always wanted to be a writer but her parents pushed her into her current profession. ( as much as she likes being a nurse, she secretly sometimes hates it )
i’ll add more later...
— * c o n n e c t i o n s.
i’m open to any type of plots hit me up and i’ll add them in here ??
IS THAT ( GODFREY GAO ) ? GOOD GRIEF, NO… THAT’S JUST ( SPENCER CARTWRIGHT ) THE ( THIRTY ) YEAR OLD ( INDUSTRIALIST ) FROM ( FIRST CLASS ). I’VE HEARD THE STEWARDS GOSSIPING AND THEY SAY HE IS ( SELFISH ) & ( CUNNING ) BUT THANKFULLY ALSO ( OBSERVANT ) & ( INTELLIGENT ). I ALSO HEARD HE IS ON BOARD BECAUSE ( HIS FATHER DIDN'T WANT HIM AROUND AFTER HIS MOTHER PASSED AWAY AND IS SENDING HIM TO THE US ON BUSINESS ).
back again with another character because why not, right? as always, like this and/or message me for plots!
Spencer’s mother married an English industrialist and moved from the Taiwanese region of China to be with him.
She didn’t exactly do this by choice; her father basically sold her off to William Cartwright.
She was pregnant with Spencer before the wedding but never told a soul at that point and just told people that William was his father. Nobody questioned it.
Spencer was raised to be the heir to his father’s businesses and was well educated by personal tutors. He faced a lot of racism and discrimination from other businessowners so while he observed things often, he learned to stay quiet.
He learned very young to shake off the hurtful and cruel things people said.
His father raised him Christian but his mother secretly practiced Buddhism and while he doesn’t fully believe in either one, he finds them both fascinating and takes time to meditate and pray and think.
He has a younger sister he’s very close to. She’s technically his half-sister (who is a wanted connection btw) but none of them knew that except his mother until...
His mother died of tb and she told them all about the secrets she’s kept for so long so she could die in peace.
His dad, who had long ago fallen out of love with her and her beauty, was furious and was very tired of dealing with the problems that came with having a family that was a different race than was considered dominant so he decided to send Spencer and his sister to America on “business”.
They both know he just wants to be rid of them; he sent them over with a really impressive amount of money and no real instructions.
They are, of course, riding first class. They aren’t exactly welcome in most circles because of their race, though, so they often keep to themselves.
Extras:
He is an actual sweetheart. He’s kind and polite to everybody he meets, even if they aren’t so nice to him.
He’s very intelligent and well read. He doesn’t speak much, but when he does he chooses his words very wisely.
He is observant and probably knows more secrets about everybody else than they suspect.
He plays the violin; it’s his one true joy. It’s a very intimate thing for him, though, so he only plays when he’s alone (typically in his room and late at night).
is that ( SAM CLAFLIN ) ? good grief, no… that’s just ( HAROLD ALLEN ) the ( TWENTY-EIGHT ) year old ( SOLICITOR ) from ( SECOND CLASS ). i’ve heard the stewards gossiping and they say he is ( INTENSE ) & ( HEADSTRONG ) but thankfully also ( RELIABLE ) & ( THOUGHTFUL ). i also heard he is on board because ( HE WANTS A NEW START FOR HIS DAUGHTER ).
hi hello, i’m hels (old enough to supposedly have a life, and in a timezone no one else is) and dis is ma boi, harry! taLK ABOUT a rp that made me scream and stop everything i was doing just to plan a muse for it bc “is thAT A TITANIC RP?”. lmao, how embarrassing,,, ANYWAYS, enough about my bs, let’s get started on my new child! ps: if you’d like to plot, could you please like this post? so i know i can go around and message and annoy the hell out of you. thank you very much lol
born harold benjamin allen, in september 1884, the third child of a middle class couple. at a very young age, his family moved to thornton, west yorkshire, as his father was the solicitor to the earl of bridgemore (aka, clarissa grant’s father).
in that small village, his mother started her own business: the town’s bodega, so she was pretty known around there. as for his father, he had a law office in bradford.
he’s always been a smart boy, very well read and good at everything he does; wouldn’t be hard to see him lowkey bonding with people from a higher class than his own; though he would always be discourage to act like them by his parents, as they weren’t in the same position as those.
it was at the age of 17 that he met the “love of his life”, elizabeth. she was one of the rich kids, visiting thornton back then, and they fell for each other. although he should be worrying with something other than girls (like preparing himself to go to law school), they got married not longer after he turned 18—just in time before her parents arranged her a marriage that would make them happy.
harold did attend law school, though, and that may have driven both him and his wife a little distant. they were good together, there was no lie to it, but just year after being married, it was clear that both of them should’ve put more of themselves in their relationship.
elizabeth’s parents disliked harry with a burning passion and it wouldn’t be hard to see him being excluded from their social events; he was never welcome in their home or had his presence required, which probably only added to drifting the couple apart, as lizzie was too close to her family. maybe she regretted her decision of marrying sometimes—that’s something he used to think whenever they were out, seeing how she also excluded him sometimes and the way she looked almost nostalgic to her sisters and friends, who married wealthy men.
EITHER WAY, not everything was painful in this marriage. on autumn of 1907, they had their first daughter: lilian. it was around this time that their almost broken marriage started to build up again, as he had already finished school and had them moving to bradford, working on his father’s office and getting quite a good money for them to do their things and raise a kid. they finally took time for each other, to know each other and fall in love all over again, thus coming with a kid.
harry is one of these fools for a father: he loves lily with all his heart and everything she does brings him a smile. both him and lizzie were good parents and, not longer after a first child, they were expecting a second.
it was like a fairy tale coming to an end way too soon: in the winter of 1909, elizabeth had a miscarriage and did not survive. it was a long and deep fall for harold; to be on the highest and happiest moments of his life (finally), only to lose almost everything that mattered.
if it wasn’t enough to lose his wife and having her parents blamed him for her death, they also wanted lilian’s custody. it was a long process in which he depended on his brothers and father to get through. in the end, that hasn’t been long ago, he won the case.
after such stressful and sad situation, harold decided it would be for the best if he took his daughter and moved out of bradford, out of yorkshire, perhaps even out of england: making more sense when he decided to go to america.
packed to move for good with a five-year-old: that’s how he gets to the rms titanic.
ALRIGHT. so after all this background, here’s a few details of how he is in general??? (AS IF THIS ISN’T LONG ENOUGH LOL):
very responsible and kind, harry always put others before him. he doesn’t hesitate in helping as long as he knows what to do to help (if he doesn’t, he will find someone who does).
actually hates his job??? hates it a lot, tbh. he’s only become a solicitor because that’s what his father is and he decided to go with the family stuff. if it depended on him, he would be an engineer (and who knows... maybe he’s still to become one...)
very fascinated by trains and (now) ships? you can bet his nerd ass gets very !!!! while on board.
his daughter is by his side at almost all times and, if she is not, it may be because she is sleeping, for sure. she is also very friendly so sometimes he sees himself having to engage a conversation because of her.
it isn’t like he doesn’t like to talk, though, he is just... a bit quiet and still recovering and kind mourning his wife’s death, since he had no time for that during all these years fighting her parents.
hey there demons. it’s me. ya bex. back at it again with another character. you gotta love esme, and you gotta love jamie. they’re very different but i love them both. my children. 2 good 2 great. appreciate.
this is jamie. he is a good boy. he is a young soul who is seeking something better for his life. he’s done a lot of factory work but now he is going to apprentice for his uncle at his bakery.
in his suitcase ( a brown, tattered thing with multiple patches ) are nearly all the clothes he owns ( seven pairs of slacks, a dozen shirts, a few pairs of threadbare socks, his church clothes, a belt, and two pairs of shoes. one brown, one black ). he has a family photo -- him, his mother and father, his three younger siblings ( maisie, margaret, and jane ). he’s got a journal. he has a blanket his mother made. a drawing by his sister.
he wants only to further his position in the world. he wants to finish the apprenticeship. he wants to start his own bakery. he wants to be able to send money back to his family. there are few things he values more than family, and he really cares an awful lot for the people in his life. he always grew up having good relationships; he hopes that his future holds the same thing.
jamie is viewing his time on the ship as his last chance to cut loose, his last chance to have fun. he’s still young, still naive. he knows he doesn’t have the money to pay for all the luxury the ship has, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t things for him to do. he’s going to do all he can. he’s a little impulsive though, so this might be something that ends with him in trouble.
connections boii
#troublemakers. give me someone who will sneak into some fancy events with him ( preferably second or third class ). give me someone who won’t look down on him for the ripped hems on his clothes, someone who won’t mock the patches. someone who knows what it’s like to have nothing.
is my boy,,,,,,,, a flirt ??? maybe. maybe not. is your character a flirt ? can they flirt with each other ? can this be ridiculous and cute ? absolutely.
poor friends !!!!!!!!! someone he knew before coming on the ship. someone whose eyes will mirror the awe. someone who will be wordless with jamie because it’s extraordinary. someone who jamie feels exactly like.
is that ( EMERAUDE TOUBIA ) ? good grief, no… that’s just ( EVA BERTRAM ) the ( TWENTY SIX ) year old ( WIDOW ) from ( THIRD CLASS ). i’ve heard the stewards gossiping and they say she is ( DISHONEST ) & ( OBSTINATE ) but thankfully also ( LOYAL ) & ( NONJUDGEMENTAL ). i also heard she is on board because ( SHE KILLED HER DRUNK HUSBAND AND IS LOOKING TO ESCAPE TO AMERICA WITH HER INFANT SON ).
hello! i’m cassie and i’m super excited to jump into this. below is some information about eva. if you’d like to plot feel free to like this and/or message me!
she was born and raised in birmingham, england. she spent her childhood working in a factory.
her dad was an alcoholic and her mother was very strict so she took great comfort in the company of her six siblings (all of whom are older than her).
she was taught to read by an old woman who lived in the same tenement as her, but that’s about as far as her education ever went.
she always dreamed of having a perfect romance, something very different from what her parents had. so she waited a very long time, hoping her knight in shining armor would come.
he never did.
by the age of twenty five her parents resented her and the fact she still lived with them so they all but sold her off to the first man that came calling when she agreed to get married.
abraham bertram was forty years old, heavyset, sweaty, and a drunk. he worked in an iron factory and ended up spending all their money on booze. she hated her life and the fact that she knew she’d brought it on herself. she continued to work in a textile factory for next to nothing. the work was hard and miserable but it was better than being home.
she found out very soon after their wedding that she was pregnant.
she came to fall in love with his sibling, however, and the two of them colluded to murder him so they could escape together after she had her baby. **
so she gave birth to her son and one night when he came stumbling home, violent and disgusting as ever, the two of them stabbed him until he fell and left the body to rot on the bed. they took off with the baby, tommy, and boarded the titanic to try and get a fresh start in the us.
**wanted connection
some extras:
she isn’t great at reading, but she loves it. she practices when she sees signs and when she manages to get her hands on books or literature. she finds educated people fascinating and likes to eavesdrop on their conversations to build up her vocabulary and knowledge. her goal is to learn how to properly write more than her name and other basic words.
tommy is her entire life but he’s still a newborn and he keeps her up. she’s running on little sleep between him and the anxiety of what an overseas trip could do to his health.
she feels a lot of guilt for killing abraham despite the fact he had it coming. she doesn’t talk about it.
she has a deep, deep fear of fire.
she has a beautiful singing voice but only sings when she thinks she’s alone.
as loyal as they come.
she hopes to find work as a maid and never set work in a factory again. her ultimate goal is to create a better life for tommy and one for herself that isn’t totally miserable.
she’s very kind (the i’d-give-you-the-shirt-off-my-back sort of person) despite her own poverty.
