marv is back, and here is my second character. barry bartholomew  hicks iii (he’s just as extra as his name). he’s a nurse whom has a habit of falling victim to his family issues and self-indulgences. bio below.

Name: Bartholomew ‘Barry’ Hicks III Age: 27 Hometown: Stardew Valley  Occupation:  Nurse Sexuality: Homosexual Interests: theater,  nursing, clubbing, clothing choices, cooking, Short Bio:  - Barry comes from a wealthy family who is big on real estate., but is the black sheep of the family because he never went the business route and never interested in the same with his family. He was never into football games, business talks, and the overall rude ways his family acts. - He has the type of mom that has the typical shorter hair cut, the ‘can i speak to the manager attitude,’ and gossipy type personality. His father has the rude asshole fatherish type gig. They get their religious beliefs from Catholicism from his great great grand parents who were originally from kentucky and moved to stardew valley on a business opportunity.  - His parents are the owners of the jo jo mart, which barry protested because of the overall impact it could have on the town. they were the biggest investors into bringing the company and it was another rift that was caused in the family. - Barry went to college in a different state, and lived the high life where he’d been able to stay out late, be himself with boys, and not be stuck in a small town. He majored in nursing to the dismay of his parents. He wanted to be a nurse in a different place but knew that Stardew needed nurses, and the chance was one he took. - Barry is out to everyone in the town except his parents who remain ignorant and only would believe it if it came from his own mouth. He is also out to his siblings who agree to not say anything. It’s ruining him on the inside. He says that he’s still not controlled by his parents, but he truly is.

PERSONALITY: -Barry is an honest friend, one that could come off immediately as harsh and aggressive. It’s a trait that comes from his family, but it’s never anything extreme or hurtful.He’s extremely open about himself (except to his family) to mostly everyone and has his own means of caring. He is also willing to do anything to get what he wants at times (not with his job he plays by the rules) depending the situation.  He’s very stubborn and it can be hard to get him to change his mind. - Barry can come off as dramatic, making situations bigger than what they actually are. He’s also a person that has a lot of family trauma that he won’t acknowledge and believes isn’t a problem because he thinks he’s over it. He’s ultimately unhappy and can’t figure out why. At nights he frequently at the bars (something he did at his old school). He has a constant stack of beer on hand at his home, and often avoids his problems by either working or spending time doing things he believes is keeping his mind off his troubles. - He’s meant to be a different character than what I’ve usually played. I’m trying to branch out. He’s not the nicest person, but he’s not the meanest. Hopefully I do a great enough job. Like this and ill also hit you up with plots for him as well. I’m down with everything!

[sirjosiahmoore-blog]

hello, everybody! my name is emma and i play your local trash boy josiah. he’s real complicated and messy and i’m sorry if he ever offends your own babbies. you can read more about him under the read more.

general

name: josiah isaac moore age: thirty five sexuality: pansexual job: miner

i. josiah moore has lived in stardew valley his whole life. he is currently a miner and belongs in the adventurer guild. he spends his days mining away and fighting off monsters to get out his anger and frustrations. he hopes to one day leave behind this town that is filled with only bad memories for him.

ii. he comes from an incredibly abusive family, who still haunt him to this day. it has caused him to be incredibly closed off and distrustful of others. he isn’t a nice guy, and he definitely isn’t here to be your best friend. he gets into a lot of fights, and causes trouble. he’s developing his father’s terrible habit of drinking.

iii. he doesn’t know how to let go of his past, and it’s a constant burden on his shoulders. he is afraid that people will treat him just as his family did, so he doesn’t ever want to risk getting close to someone. he may have a few friends but they still haven’t knocked down all the walls that he has.

iv. at the end of the day, josiah just wants love that he had never received. he wants to belong and feel like apart of something, to be wanted and good enough.

reputation

josiah is a known troublemaker around stardew valley. he comes from a terrible family, who are also well known troublemakers. people tend to avoid him as they think nothing good could come from being around him. he starts fights quickly, and feels threatened easily. 

you can find his full biography here. you can find wanted connections here. you can find info about his family here.

[icecreamriley-blog]

hey, my name is JJ and I'm going to be playing riley !! there’s some info about riley below the cut && some connection ideas. i'm looking forward to plotting with everyone, feel free hit me up !!

riley alex is 23 years old. he loves to write, draw, play music, water his plants, eat ice cream, and daydream. he has lived in stardew valley since he was 18 years old and spends his days working at buddy’s ice cream parlour, reading in the library, or wandering across the beach. he lives in a house in town with two roommates (wanted connection.)

~ history 

riley spent his childhood in a small holiday village far away from the town he now calls home. at 18 years old, he packed a bag full of books and told his parents he was off on an adventure. ever since, the boy has been settled in stardew valley with an apartment full of plants and books, a job at buddy’s ice cream parlour, and a community of friends around him.

~ personality

+ curls on his head and freckles on his cheeks, riley has always been something of a sweetheart. isolated for much of his childhood, he treasures his friends above anything else, and will always be the first to bring them ice cream on a bad day or a book that reminded him of them. hand-made gifts and sweet gestures are no rarity.

- jealousy runs through his veins, however, and it is no less rare to find him sulking because his friend is spending time with somebody else. he’s very insecure in his relationships and it shines as bright as the sun at times.

regardless, riley is generally liked by all. he has a long string of failed relationships behind him, but he wears his heart on his sleeves and is eager to give it to somebody new, with little fear of whether or not it will break.

~ other things

riley spends much of his time at work and at the library, engrossing himself in a new book and organising the recently returned section. when he’s at neither of these places, he may be found venturing through the forest or walking along the beach, head in the clouds with a mind full of epic adventures and stories.

a love for reading has long since developed into a love for creating his own stories. he is not a published author by any means, but the short stories he writes and the comics he draws for the local newspaper are loved by many, and he hopes to one day venture out into the world of publishing. it isn’t rare for his friends to receive little short stories or doodles he made specially for them.

~ connection ideas

unless your character is new to town or never leaves their home, they probably know riley !! so let’s plot something out. 

friendships, crushes, past or budding romances are all up for grabs. unrequited love and heartbroken exes are good. simple connections that have room to grow (a regular at his ice cream parlour, simply seeing each other around town, a friend of a friend, etc.) would also be appreciated. i like to write & develop connections naturally over time - but pre-plotted connections can be fun too!

if you’re interested in some bigger connections, his wanted connection page can be found here.

hmu on tumblr or ask for my discord if you’d like to discuss anything further! i look forward to writing with you all :)

[teahamilton]

Hi. Ozi, again. Little miss Independent, little miss obsessive… Hardworking, Active – Miss I know where I’m going. Teagan is brutally soft. She’s the kind of person who doesn’t need the company of others to feel good, but she LOVES a good story. Her favorite people are those who can consume her ego and attention. She likes to think she’s fiercely independent. 

She lived in Stardew Valley her whole life. Her mum was the other of the saloon before she passed away, and now Tea is the boss. I want a few connections for her including an employee or friend who helps her with the paperwork, cause she’s horrible with numbers and it gives her a massive headache every time she had to do admin stuff. I’d love her to have a high school sweetheart, too. Someone she had pretty much every first-time with, but life separated them and now they are good friends (lingering feelings or not it’ up to you). I was her to have a good girl friend she can talk to and call whenever she’s upset about something and vice versa... and anyone who can turn her to a crazy mess would be nice, too. she doesn’t easily lose her cool. I also own the Matt Daddario fc so feel free to message me on his account if there’s anything she’s a sideblog.

here’s a lil something if you’re curious:

[bellanope-blog]

hey all! i'm ellie and i’ll be writing my lil sad comp sci nerd, bella! i haven’t been in the rp community for... awhile... so i apologize if i'm a little rusty. also a quick disclaimer... i’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to computer science. i’m fairly decent with html but know nOTHING when it comes to java, python and anything else. but i'm going to do my best! you can read below if you wanna get to know her a little better. i LOVE plotting so plEASE im so we can get our little babs writing together! you can also like this post and i’ll message you. i'm going to start reading everyone else intro posts now. can't wait to get to know all of you!

disclaimer: bella is very very loosely based on abigail from stardew valley. TLDR:

bella grew up primarily in stardew valley. she left the city for four years during her undergrad and graduated with a comp sci degree three years ago.

she’s a programmer ( hit her up fix your printer :-) she’ll only be somewhat annoyed. ) and doesn’t have a lot of professional experience. this basically means she’s a little worker monkey for software developers.

she has depression but he refuses to acknowledge it.

she’s pretty pessimistic and definitely isn't the easiest to get along with it. 54% of the time she’s sad. 54% of the time she’s angry and about 2% of the time she’s content.

MORE INFO:

bella was born to carol & philip romana in the city.

bella’s mother and father separated when she was just five years old.

bella father is CTO ( chief of technology ) of an oil & gas company in the city and after a three year affair her mother eventually learned that her father’s business trips were actually visits to see his second family, his girlfriend and the child they now had together.

bella’s parents tried to work things out but after 6 short months bella and her mother left. they moved back in with bella’s widowed grandmother in stardew valley.

despite having an empty resume since her wedding day, bella’s mother managed to get a job at jojomarket.

rather than being educated by the local tutor, bella was home schooled online. despite being primarily raised in the valley she felt like an outsider. she hated the small town she was bound to.

despite only living an hour away, bella didn’t have much contact with her father. he was always consistent when it came to material things though and never once did he forget to send her a gift for christmas or her birthday. sadly, no card was to be found in the wrapping paper and honestly, all bella wanted to read was an “i love you” from her father.

fitting to a CTO, many of these gifts were the latest tech and this what began her deep interest in coding.

bella has always blamed her father’s leaving for the reason her personality is so sad. she hates her father. sadly, she and her father are eerily similar. though she will never know this.

when bella was eighteen years old she left stardew valley for the first time since her childhood. the reason for this departure? university.

bella attended university in the city and majored in computer science. her education was paid for by her estranged father.

in the city she lived with five roommates in a home that was meant to hold only three.

after just her first year of university, bella had planned on staying in the city. sure, living in the city was expensive even with five roommates but her naivety and greed for more than just a small town life outweighed the reality of her situation.

only a few days after celebrating the completion of her last class. her grandmother passed.

bella had known that her grandmother was sick but the death crept up on the small family and left her mother distraught. unable to handle the pain bella’s mother decided she would stay in the city for a couple weeks with a friend and bella would stay in stardew valley to look over the house. a funeral would be held once her mother was in a better place.

months went by and bella started to realize how much she enjoyed the independence of living alone. no roommates. no family. alone.

finally, a funeral was held. it was a small service and considering her grandmother was only survived by a single child and was not close with her other family members it was mainly towns people that came to say their goodbyes.

after the funeral bella’s mother told her that she would not be returning to stardew valley and gave her two choices: bella could move back to the city if she so chose or she could stay in stardew valley, rent free and they would sell her grandmothers home at a later date.

bella chose the ladder. she told herself that she would only be staying in stardew valley for a year at the most but three years have now passed and she still lives rent free in the home of her late grandmother. her four walls feel deafening lonely but the fear of failing in the city are keeping her from making the big move.

since bella was a child her mother had been her best friend. bella’s mother is currently rebuilding her life in the city and due to this has been very busy over the past few years. bella hasn’t spoken to her mother in half a year and the last time they spoke they got into a fight over cardboard boxes.

currently bella is working as a freelance programmer and building up her portfolio. she hates stardew valley. she wants more. but she can’t work up the courage to be brave and achieve it.

for work bella mainly writes codes for apps that will inventible fail and accidentally spends a lot of time helping out the other towns people with mundane tech problems.

due to bella’s shy nature and sorrow filled soul, she doesn’t have many friends and is seen as quite pessimistic when compared to others.

after the death of her grandmother and the quick departure of her mother bella has developed major depressive disorder. actually, her lack of courage to move on from stardew valley has nothing to do with courage at all. her depression has left with a lack of motivation and is also the reason she spends most of her time indoors either playing games, listening to music or studying code.

bella is anything but self aware and hasn’t realized she’s her depression is more than just her personality. it’s a mental illness. being a crestfallen individual she passes her sorrow off as just being a part of who she is.

[johnnygavalas-blog]

Hi, babes! I’m Syd, and this is Johnny. I’m still getting all nit-picky with finalizing the theme and stuff, but I’m throwing this up now, and I’ll keep working on a biography page and all that good stuff.

Johnathan Gavalas || twenty-six || cis male || he/him || fisherman || Michael Vlamis

Johnny went into the fishing trade because that was what was expected of him. His father worked with fish, as did his father, and his father before him, and so on. His family has been in Stardew Valley for as long as anyone can remember—a fact his father likes to remind him of very frequently.

Johnny hates staying in Stardew Valley. It's not that he hates the valley itself as much as, as he's put it, not wanting to die in a dead-end town, working the same job that's been passed through his family for generations, without having seen anything of the outside world. But between pressure to support his family, and a lack of money to his name to put into savings, his future outside of the valley is looking rather bleak.

Most days find Johnny either fishing or manning the shop, while his nights are often spent in the saloon, nursing a beer and maybe avoiding his parents.

He can be coaxed into doing handyman-type work—namely of the leaking faucets and water heater issues variety, maybe a busted AC unit, if he has an extended period of time to figure it out—by neighbors, especially if said coaxing is done with food. (He’ll claim the work is only an occasional thing, but year after year sees him making his rounds of the village’s old properties.)

He spends a lot of his downtime down by the beach. He loves the ocean, and his dream is to own his own boat and sail across the world.

A majority of his friends are the people he grew up with, followed by some of the extroverts who've moved to town and made an effort to get to know him, as he isn't big on going out of his way to meet new people.

[efflorcsce-blog]

hi, friends !! i’m stevie, i go by she/her pronouns and i’m in the mdt timezone. i’m very shy and very slow at getting to things, my super late intro attesting to the fact. bUT i’m so excited to be here and meet and rp w/ you all !! you can read about my soft flower boy beneath the cut. pls don’t be afraid to hmu for plots, like this and i’ll message you ♡

born and raised in stardew valley, a lot of freddie’s life was spent outdoors. having quite a green thumb from a young age, he was always in between his parents’ and grandparents’, helping out with their gardens.

known for being very friendly to the villagers in town; a very laid back and kindly attitude that allows him to get along well with most of his peers.

left town when he was eighteen, on a whim to see more and explore. his family wasn’t entirely in approval, but allowed him to do so because it was what he wanted.

along the way, he got caught up in a mess involving blackmail, in which threatened his life. after a prolonged time of tussles and locked horns, he ran from it, not looking back once.

returned to the valley when he was twenty, having been back for around a year. settled back into the comfort of what would always be home, and taking up a job with stardew floral.

his personality underwent obvious changes from then to now, coming from what he experienced while he was gone. previously outgoing and carefree, freddie is now more quiet and reticent, yet still works towards making a positive difference in the valley.

WANTED CONNECTIONS:

anything and everything !! friends, best friends, exes, flings, someone who might have known/met him while he was away from the valley, confidants, someone he doesn’t get along with for whatever reason, anything you can think of !! 

this is terrible and way too short because i’m trash dhgdhsf pls come love me and my gentle timid freddie thank u for reading x
