RAJU VISHNAVI (Anirudh Pisharody) -- 27 years old, works as a volunteer firefighter / EMT. Raj moved to the island about five years ago in a desperate attempt to shed the skin of his former life. He’s a lot happier here in Soleida Bay, and since the murders have started, he’s become way too interested in these slasher chronicles. His friends think he’s a bit of a weirdo for being so interested, but the baby-detective in him somehow thinks he might be able to help figure out who’s slicing and dicing the island apart.
POTENTIAL WCS:
THE FLING (any gender) -- Raju is notoriously unable to keep a relationship afloat. He’s obsessed with his career, works long hours, and has (recently) become unHINGED re: the slasher. So he tends to have flings coming and going.
SURPRISE RELATIVE (any gender) -- maybe a sibling, or a cousin? Someone who also has relocated to Soleida Bay, OR already lived here, and maybe that’s why he choose this lil’ island over all the rest.
CO-WORKERS (any gender) -- the people he spends the absolute MOST time with. They can be either firefighters, EMT’s, or both.
Just a jumping off point. I am excited to plot just about any kind of connection for Raj!

THE BASICS
full name: cassidy amber pha
nickname(s): cass, cassie
birthday/age: august 25th/30 years old
gender/pronouns: cisfemale/she/her
sexuality: heterosexual
ABOUT
cassidy was originally born and raised in soleida bay with two uber-successful big-shot businesspeople for parents. her parents being who they were, it was no surprise to anyone that cassidy adopted their ambitious attitudes towards life. living in sunset heights, cassidy never knew too much struggle growing up, but one lesson her parents always drilled into her head was that if she ever wanted to get anywhere in the world, she had to be ready to put forth every effort and strive to be perfect. that they hadn’t gotten where they’d gotten and hadn’t been able to give cassidy the life she had without many years of long, hard work.
cassidy went through her school years holding those lessons close to her heart. she was a star student, the senior class president, and the valedictorian of her graduating class. by all means, cassidy found herself meeting every expectation her parents had of her. but, though she never would admit it to them, those same expectations made her want to run away. so, after getting accepted to nyu for college, cassidy left soleida bay and didn’t dare look back.
it was strange having the freedom she’d always wanted. so much so that it took quite a long time before cassidy was able to settle into the career she actually wanted to pursue. it was frustrating having the drive to succeed but not knowing exactly in what way. but nevertheless, she’d finally hit her groove. at least she had until the day she’d received a phone call from her parents informing her of the recent string of murders that had been occurring in her hometown.
as much as cassidy felt much too pressured by her parents in her youth, she still loved her parents and knew they’d only ever just wanted the best for her. so, with a growing worry for the bizarre murders happening in what had been such a peaceful place for her growing up, she went back to soleida bay just after finishing her second year of law school. that way, she could watch over her parents and make sure all was well. it took practically no time for her to find an apartment downtown as well as a receptionist job at the isla bonita resort for the meantime, her past connections with the senior managers who knew her from childhood coming in handy. she’s not sure how long she’ll be in soleida bay, but would prefer to see the person responsible for the murders that dragged her back here in cuffs and locked up before she catches the next flight out.
⌠ summer bishil , 30, cisfemale, she/her ⌡ have you seen LUCIANA ‘LUZ’ REYES? Word on the street is that they’re STILL in Soleida Bay after all of these years. ANASTASIA PARK must not be so bad, huh? I guess they’re a BAR OWNER now… But the slasher doesn’t seem to mind! People are saying they’re WITTY and CHARMING, but the SELF-CENTERED and COLD kind of cancel that out, doesn’t it? Either way, we’ll hope they live to see another day.
- Born on the island to a single mother, Gloria ‘Foxy’ Reyes. Toughest mother out there, in Luz’s words, but she wouldn’t change her for the world. Her dad wasn’t in the picture at all, and to this day, she doesn’t give a single fuck where he is.
- Luciana’s mother owned Foxy’s before her, eventually passing it down when she retired. The two make a wonderful living and have plenty of money, they just like to keep things simple.
- Luz lives in a trailer at Anastasia Park, her mother voluntarily moving to a nursing home where Luz visits her regularly.
- She and her mother have dealt with everything when it comes to running the bar. No funds, no customers, judgement, break ins, etc. But, they’ve always come back stronger.
- Personality wise, Luz is a ‘take no shit’ kind of gal. She knows what she’s worth and doesn’t need anyone to show her or tell her.
- Clearly, her mother is the most important person in her life and she will defend and protect her with everything she has.
- Luz has a standing rivalry with Paco’s shack and will gladly take his customers
- Also, is she afraid of the slasher? Absolutely not. She’s currently profiting off of signature slasher drinks (after drinking with Foxy’s be sure to tag them on their insta ;) )
JACK HANSEN (Josh Duhamel) -- 49, ‘retired’, though he does work intermittently as a substitute teacher at the Soleida Bay Little Island Middle School. He lives in The Cove, along with a number of other townies, and is way too into island life-- enough so that a lot of people accidentally mistake him for a tourist himself. Jack loves to lounge around the beach, fish, hike, sight see. The man NEVER grows tired of Soleida Bay. He grew up on the island in a very small family environment-- his mother died at a young age, and he and his younger brother were raised by their father. They were a predominantly blue collar family, struggling to make ends meet for a long while, until Jack’s dad passed away and a large life insurance endowment left him and his brother better off than they’d ever been.
POTENTIAL WCS:
WIFE (or possibly EX-WIFE) mother to one or both of his children.
OFFSPRING (x2) -- any gender, surname/maiden name HANSEN.
BROTHER -- younger brother, whom he grew up with. They can be close, or estranged.
BESTIE -- any gender, someone that Jack has likely been pals with since childhood. No matter how long they go without hangin’ out, they’re always gonna be like siblings.
These are really just some ideas as a jumping off point. I am down for basically anything, and so is Jack!

⌠ DANIELLE CAMPBELL , 21, FEMALE, SHE/HER ⌡ have you seen ADALYN EVANS? Word on the street is that they’re BACK in Soleida Bay after all of these years. THE COVE must not be so bad, huh? I guess they’re a DOG WALKER now… But the slasher doesn’t seem to mind! People are saying they’re COMPASSIONATE and FRIENDLY, but the GULLIBLE and NAIVE kind of cancel that out, doesn’t it? Either way, we’ll hope they live to see another day.
Hi, I’m Sunny, this is Adalyn and I’d love to plot with any of you!
Adalyn’s family has always had an overabundance of money and she never wanted for anything. However, she never took it for granted, probably because her parents taught her to treat everyone with respect and kindness. Her family was very loving and close and they often took vacations to Soleida Bay. It was her favorite place to visit. When Adalyn turned 21 her older brother shook up the family by leaving his university and moving suddenly to their vacation spot to put down a permanent residence. She made a split second decision to follow after him.
This is a huge adventure for her, since she never thought she’d veer from her chosen path of school, uni, become a veterinarian or elementary school teacher, get married and live somewhere near her parents. Now, she really has no idea what she wants, but she rents a little cottage at the Cove and for now, is happy being a dog walker for extra cash.
She was pretty overprotected in her life and as such, is extremely trusting, gullible and naive. Not even she has any idea if she’ll find herself getting into trouble with no more restrictions on her life, or settle down in her new place.
