eli greenwood for @sojusimmer‘s bachelorette challenge ❤

25 | 181cm | scorpio

geek, good, art lover

eli aka the nerd in high school who glowed up. he used to share the same history class with olivia and would sit beside her during class not because he had a crush or anything *sweats* but because olivia clearly needed some help in the history department, of course. eli wasn’t anyone remarkable in high school, he was a soft spoken boy and blended in with the shadows. despite being a very opinionated person, eli was quiet throughout his teenage years due to his low self-esteem and confidence. he couldn’t even come up with the courage to ask olivia out! (he believes that she’s really out of her league.) this all changed when he entered university and made good friends who pushed him out of his comfort zone! he started speaking his mind (which shocked those around him for the first time), and hitting the gym regularly (since he was always so lethargic). he took time into improving himself and is proud to admit that he’s a completely different person now than he was in high school. currently he’s pursuing what he has always loved and is now a freelance artist! when he came across olivia going on the bachelorette, he immediately signed up. he has let her go once, and he is definitely not going to let his second opportunity pass by!

fun facts:

used to doodle and sketch a lot in class (he has some sketches of olivia too, “she’s just great reference,” he says.)

he would help olivia in class whenever she’s lost or is unable to answer a question when put on the spot (he would whisper answers to her hehe)

he took graphic design in university and excelled!! he found his calling perhaps?

blushes really easily (as you can see in the first picture!) he blushes whenever he laughs really hard or is flustered!

he has the nickname tomato-head in his family because of the above fact lmao

he still tries to choose his words carefully before he speaks, he’s really aware of how his words may be perceived by others.

likes yoga a lot, and he’s good at it too! (he’s flexible alright *wink wonk*)

has a younger sister, who he babies a lot. she likes to ask him for pocket money when their parents don’t give her any more, and he will give!

currently lives in san myshuno which he finds too hectic and overwhelming, he would love a more calm and quieter place

🎻 Matteo Rizzo for @sojusimmer‘s Olivia 💖

Matteo was orphaned since he was very young, and was pretty much raised in an orphanage for a good part of his childhood. He doesn’t dwell too hard on the reasons behind it, but catches himself wondering what his birth parents are like every now and then. He was adopted by two very loving mothers at the age of 8, both of whom he is forever grateful for.

As a child, he was and still is very eager to please and make his adoptive parents proud. His mothers would sometimes dance together to classical music, and Matteo would join in by pretending to be the violinist playing the music in the background. Both of them would laugh at how cute their little boy is, refer to him as The Violin Prince, and then take turns dancing with him. Because of this, classical music (and really just music in general) left a very strong impression on him and he feels that very same happiness he felt all those times whenever he plays his instruments.

He picked up learning the violin when he was 10. He heard the familiar sound of a violin coming down the hallway of his elementary school. Out of curiosity, he decided to follow it to the source and stumbled upon one of his teachers playing it. He listened for a while, until the teacher realised she wasn’t alone and stopped out of embarrassment. He told her that her music was ‘very pretty’ and that he would love to learn the violin for his mothers to dance to. The teacher was moved by both his innocence and genuineness behind his reason, and agreed to provide violin lessons after school for him. Matteo kind of saw this teacher as an older sister, and his parents often invite her over for holidays and meals, seeing her as part of their family.

His talent in music was evident as he got into it, picking up the violin quickly and actually performing a full piece for his mothers to dance to on their anniversary. They were super proud of their boy, and encouraged him to pursue music if that is what interests him. He did, and eventually learnt to play the piano as well.

He doesn’t aspire to become famous for his music, and is perfectly content performing his music for just the people he truly cares about - namely his adoptive parents and his former teacher. He’s hoping to find someone else he can play for, someone who he can dance with like his mothers did, someone that he will spend his life with.

And perhaps, that someone could be Olivia.

Musical Genius // Self-Assured + Music Lover + Clumsy

24 years old

Horoscope: Sagittarius

Most people just call him Matt.

Looks like a big toughie on the outside, but is in fact a huge softie on the inside.

Acquaintances usually assume that he plays the electric guitar or drums, when he mentions he plays instruments. Contrary to his initial impression on people, he actually plays violin and piano!

He is a bit quiet, but not shy by any means. Comes off as being aloof.

Surprisingly good with children. He is a music tutor and works mostly with kids, teaching them the fundamentals. Most of his students are a bit intimidated by him at first, but grow to admire him for his patience and kindness.

He busks when he has the time, but it’s mostly because he enjoys performing for people. He collects the money he does get, but donates it to orphanages.

Might not be the best in verbal communication. He expresses himself more through actions rather than words.

Does not have much experience in the department of dating. There were interested parties in the past, but he shrugged off their advances because he didn’t even know they were flirting with him in the first place.

Rarely smiles, but when he does, it’s 101% sincere and he’s truly happy in that moment.

He loves to eat, but doesn’t really know how to ‘appreciate’ cuisine. He scarfs down his food rather than savour its taste or think about the artistry behind the dish.

He can cook... Instant noodles and fried eggs count as cooking, right?

Very close to his adoptive parents, and he genuinely loves and cares for them. He feels very strongly that he was only able to become who he is today because of them.

Lovingly refers to his mothers as mama and mommy.

Also very close to his teacher back in elementary school. She’s kind of like an older sister to him. He still refers to her as Miss Kim, like he does when he is still her student.

Can be a bit clumsy and forgetful. He misplaces things fairly often, but never his violin and your heart.

TAYLOR BLEDSOE for @sojusimmer‘s Olivia Salinger

Childish, Neat, Good

Warning: Loooooooong backstory ahead!

Taylor Bledsoe was born in Britechester to a prestigious UBrite dean and sickly mother. In elementary school, he was usually found pulling pranks with his rambunctious older and only sister Zoey. As he got older, he began to mature and was dubbed “The Golden Boy” in his teens--and you’ll find out why. His father is a dean and his mother was a literature professor until her declining health no longer made teaching possible. Unsurprisingly, considering Mr. and Mrs. Bledsoe’s respective prestigious academic posts at the University of Britechester, they made sure that their children always placed the highest priority on their education. 

The Bledsoe family comes from a long line of ambitious academics. Taylor’s great-great-great-great-grandfather was best friends with the founder of Britechester, and together they founded one of the top-tier universities known to simkind. Everyone in relation to UBrite is guaranteed to have a passionate rivalry with anyone or anything related to Foxbury. It gives them chills just hearing the name of their nemesis--and not in a good way.

Taylor was a competitive swimmer, captain of the debate team for three years in a row, won several piano and violin competitions, was a math tutor on the side for kids, and wanted to get PhD in literature just like his mom did. He was the kid that everyone wanted their sons to emulate and all of their daughters to marry. On top of all of his accomplishments, he was known to be kind to everyone he meets, never drink, smoked, or did drugs, nor does he plan on doing any of those things; his family has always had strict standards when it came to health and addiction. Just like any other Bledsoe, Taylor was used to working hard and working smart, and was expected to do great things. He was always found in his room studying and was revered for his top-notch Bledsoe brain. Howecer, he was sometimes dubbed a “party pooper” and could come off as dense when when jokes or sarcasm went over his head, but it just goes to show that you can’t have it all.

Imagine the shock that hit the community when Taylor went to Foxbury in order to go to school with his secret girlfriend! When Foxbury admissions were told that a Bledsoe wanted to attend their university, they welcome Taylor with open arms to anger their enemies. The betrayal caused a large rift to form between Taylor and his family, but Taylor was on a high during his first act of major rebellion. He just wanted to know what it was like to do what wasn’t expected of him, and he was enjoying himself. For so long he felt like he conformed to the expectations of others and never did anything for his own pleasure. What’s the harm? Things would normalize soon enough anyway.

However, as if Taylor wasn’t a hot enough topic already, news broke out near the end of Taylor’s first semester that he got his girlfriend pregnant. She dragged him to a party and he had his first drinks. A drunken mistake led him to disgrace his family further. A month later during the winter break, his girlfriend miscarried and Taylor snapped back to reality. He gently broke things off with the girlfriend he only got out of spite, and worked on getting his family--especially his parents--to forgive him. Deep down, his rebellion wasn’t fueled by unhappiness, he was just curious to see what a loose lifestyle would be like. He’s still a good boy and always has been.

Now, that was five years ago. Taylor and his family are on better terms now, though things aren’t quite the same despite his many apologies and explanations. Zoey was the only one that didn’t judge him. Taylor graduated with a bachelor’s degree from UBrite and was about ready to start working on his master’s when Zoey signed him up for this bachelorette challenge behind his back. He was infuriated at first, but is now curious to see how things will go. He’s not quite over the mistakes he made and regrets it. Yet somehow, he hopes that he can be admired and respected again, and that maybe, somebody like Olivia can bring out an even better Taylor.

Quick facts:

His favorite colors are baby blue and beige. He thinks baby blue brings out his green eyes!

He can do many, many things, but he cannot cook.

He has an irrational hatred for tank tops and refuses to wear them. Ever.

He only goes shirtless for sleeping or swimwear. 

He’s very intelligent but can also be dense. He often fails to detect sarcasm and misses when people use word substitution to talk about a different subject.

He hates that people feel intimidated by him. He loves having friends and loves to be with others as a stress reliever.

He secretly feels alone in a crowd of people and just wants to be genuinely loved by somebody.

If he actually stayed in the dorms, he’d be the roommate that wouldn’t let you leave until you washed your dishes.

He somehow found the time to watch enough movies to become a lowkey geek and 30% of his vocabulary is movie quotes.

Derek Poe for @sojusimmer’s Olivia

26 | Graphic Designer | Del Sol Valley | 180 cm | Creative, Perfectionist, Loves Outdoors

Can you tell I’m indecisive as fuck because I couldn’t choose one picture?

Hailing from Oasis Springs, Derek has spent the better part of his life under the desert sun, trying to keep his rascal of a younger brother in check. They would spend days hiking the valleys and creeks around the small town, often reminiscing on their future: moving from the hellhole that was Oasis Springs and into new, better life somewhere big and vast. Derek made it. His brother did not.

The cancer that took him had been so rapid and aggressive even the doctors had been alarmed. And just like that, the one thing that anchored Derek had been lost. His parents had grown more distant than ever, leaving Derek afloat with nothing else to ground him. He moved to Del Sol Valley to live with his uncle at 16, eager move away and, maybe, for a softer beginning.

And for a time, it was. Derek, eager to please, was the golden boy: excelled in his studies, maintained a tight circle of friends, was accepted into the School of Visual Arts in NYC, nice and polite. On the surface, life was good. Truthfully, though, Derek had been living in a continuous haze that would continue well into his college years: party after party, faceless bodies in dark nights, sweet words and empty sentences - always tender, always almost present, he treated his partners with the utmost care and devotion. Even if for a night.

Recently, though, Derek’s been sobering up upon finding his footing in the world. He’s more relaxed and outgoing and although his genuine smiles are rare, they can light up the entire room. He wants to actually be present for someone (and he knows he can). It’s a new chapter, after all. 

Some facts about Derek:

His favorite color is blue.

Makes an awesome sushi thanks to his college roommate’s extremely high standards. He’s a terrible cook tho

Does have an awesome alcohol stash.

Will listen to pretty much anything, but he loves classic rock. Mostly listens to film soundtracks while working. He can recite the entirety of Pirates of the Caribbean by the music alone.

Works way better when sitting outside than in a cold office.

Specializes in real time visuals for music shows and parties. Has recently spent a few months in Tokyo and Seoul while setting some new connections for his studio.

Would laugh at your joke, no matter how bad it is. Always laughs at his own lame jokes, and a sucker for rom-coms - wait, what?

Got the disheveled prepster look going for him - letting go of soft blazers and unbuttoned shirts would be hard. But he really is sweet, once you get to know him. 

He might not express it, but he feels very strongly. Pay attention to his actions, not his words. A total giver, never a taker, as his friends would tell you. Derek denies this with all his might. He’s also the cuddly type. He denies that, too.

Has had one serious relationship that ended badly when he was 21 (turns out she was cheating), but other than that he’s had a string of friends with benefits (surprisingly, he keeps in touch with most of them).

Hope you like him, love! <3

Tyler O’Neal for @sojusimmer ‘s Olivia

- Goofball - Clumsy - Insider

Tyler has a secret. A pretty big secret. 

He has three younger brothers, a younger sister and a cousin who he genuinely thinks lived with them, he was over so much. He’s used to being Big Daddy^TM and looking after others. He has a rich cadence to his voice that was both calming and commanding at the same time. 

He soon found, miraculously, that fairytales were a great way to keep the unruly children calm for however long it took to get a gOTDAM MOMENT OF PEACE. He read them all. Princess and the Frog, Twelve dancing princesses, Robin Hood. His favourite? Peter Pan. Ok keep that in mind.

Tyler is really good at forming bonds - probably a result of being surrounded by people all the time. He’s just got a knack for fitting in here there and wherever. He’s got a decent circle of friends and has a decent sized apartment that they all hang out at. Exactly ZERO of his friends know what he does for a living. They just know he makes a pretty penny out of it. 

The thing is... Tyler O’Neal doesn’t make the money. In fact, T. O’Malley does. T O’Malley being the pen name of the best-selling fairytale retellings this side of Windenburg. It started as Peter Pan fanfic and when that blew up, he wrote a book and when that blew up, he wrote plenty more and before he knew it his life was full of fairytales.

Still, nothing was magical. He’s looking for a connection. Someone who he can admit to being. Someone who won’t ridicule him but will support and love him. 

He’s looking for someone who makes his life feel like he’s in a fairytale. He thinks Olivia might be that someone.

                                            Mason Artega

                               For @sojusimmer‘s Olivia Salinger

Age: 27

Height: 183 cm

Location: Oasis Springs

Occupation: Restaurant owner

Aspiration: Master Chef

Traits: Outgoing | Bookworm| Cheerful

Backstory:

     Mason is the second son of Mariette and Malcolm Artega. Unlike his older brother, Miles, who is a true player, Mason never thought about girls until now. He was born and raised in a small house near the ocean, in Sulani. As a child, Mason was always by his mother side: cooking, cleaning the house, gardening, washing dishes, and watching that Korean dramas his mother loved ( he still wanders why all the romantic scenes were in slow motion). While his brother was playing soccer with their father, Mason usually spent time in his room, reading some horror or crime books, playing computer games with his friends, or watching dramas with his mother (usually, it was the same old one). As he grew older, Mason became more and more extroverted, becoming one of “the popular” ( his look and his brother’s status helped a bit) in high school. Although he had a lot of friends, he usually made some time to help his parents or spending time with them. On his 17th birthday anniversary he received an unforgettable gift from his parents: he would become a bigger brother. After 9 months, his little sister, Marisol, was born. Because of his close relationship with his younger sister, a lot of people thought that she was, actually, his daughter (but how could she be when he never had a girlfriend?). At the age of 24 he lost his parents in a car accident, leaving behind 3 heartbroken souls. With his friend’s help, he took the custody for Marisol and moved to Oasis Springs, creating a new life away from the beach and the sunny weather. His brother, however, detested his decision, which led to no longer stay in touch with his siblings. Because he was like a father figure for his sister, he had to learn how to cook and take care of Marisol which was easier than he expected (all those years of watching his mother baking and cooking finally paid off). He was enjoying so much cooking that he decided to renounce becoming a freelance programmer and started as a dishwasher in a small restaurant. After 3 years of that accident, he learned how to go on and live happily with his sister, now a beautiful young lady. He even owns his restaurant in Newcrest!

 Random facts:

-Once, he had a huge crush on the Korean actress, Song Hye-Kyo

-He never spoke to Miles after he and Marisol moved away

- Mason loves his family very deeply

-His favorite dish to cook is Spaghetti Lasagna (maybe his sister passion for pasta influenced him)

-He had a girlfriend, but after he learned that Miles paid her to date him, they broke up

-His parents had an obsession with the letter “M” (as everybody can see from the children’s names)

-He doesn’t like going to the beach, or swimming (but he used to)

-Mason can be very funny, or very sarcastic, nothing in between (but he’s a softie inside)

-On his 18th birthday his friends prepared a special party. The second day he woke up with a headache and a tattoo on his left arm
