❝ theo james. cismale. he/him. ❞ ━ 𝕝𝕒𝕜𝕖𝕧𝕚𝕖𝕨 welcomes peter velasco with open arms. the thirty four year old doctor has been living here for thirty years, give or take. on a good day, they seem the droll & considerate type, but their drained & fastidious tendencies shine through when there are no taxis into the city.
hi hello i’m ron, i’m 23 years old and i have a basketball game tomorrowwww. do people even quote vines anymore ? anyways. hey guys. i’m from the gmt -3 timezone and i’ve been away from roleplaying for a while so i’m john wick getting back in the game now even tho idek whats the aesthetic anymore . i’m old n wrinkly but i’m easily entertained by anything at all so i’m fairly easy to talk to . but, enough of my gay rambling . let us esketit
folks !!! *claps hands* i introduce you to peter maxwell velasco. new orleans born and bred, his parents have owned a family restaurant that has existed for over 200 years. its one of those yk, legendary joints kinda thing where everyone can have lunch after sunday mass
peter always wanted to be a doctor, yk. even tho his folks werent exactly well off, he did his best and made it through med school and we don’t bring up his student debt ok. he pretends it vanished jus like what thanos did to the avengers
peter???? fuckin loves being a doctor my guy. its the only thing that makes sense to him. he’s in orthopedics and usually he gets ppl w broken arms n legs and its pretty regular but he ocasionally does some cool surgeries. the whole greys anatomy routine
a dork. a nerd if you well. he’s a sweetheart but v stressed and overworked but then again in this economy who isn’t??? tho he gets along p well w his family n coworkers, peter just feel like something is missing??? we’ll call it the idea that his parents put into his head that he was going to b extraordinary and now he’s here in his thirties and he’s just??? another ordinary guy trying to survive. he most likely won’t find out the cure for parkinson’s or anything. he’s just. gonna live his life yk??
but yeah. he’s just an awkward, extremely tall guy ( my heart goes out for every short king out there jsyk ), who likes comfy sweaters and drinks a little too much coffee and never seems to relax yk
would go to war for dogs. he watched isle of dogs and it completely resonated w him god he would never let dogs get banished from this world ok. he has a dog n he’s a mutt ( half amazing and half terrific ) and he’s named hugo and he’s like eleven years old and blind and possibly very ugly to anyone BUT peter but thats just how it is
a little bit troubled in the relationship department because though he’s easy enough to make conversation with he’s not very good at picking up flirting queues so he just likes someone and hopes they will notice him back and his idea of a date is just eating palak tofu and showing memes to each other ig.
oh hes a vegetarian. has been since he was ten years old which was around the time he first watched babe, yk the pig movie??? yeah, so that was his whole ‘im vegetarian’ realization moment. 1995 was the year of realizing things
when he’s very distressed he likes to lock himself into a room and listen to toto. if he was to get married he would probably walk the aisle to africa by toto
ocasionally not an idiot but most times definitely an idiot
nourishes a very deep and all encompassing love of twilight zone
he’s just a mess please just???? get him outta my sight i hate him
here’s his pinterest board
and thats it ig??? im sure we can work out lotsa plots for this guy n ur guys cause he’s v sweet and approachable and just all around a cool dude who will eventually make dumb mistakes on the account that he’s an idiot. but yeah. if you’d like to contact me off tumblér, you can find me @ kurtistown resident#2978 on disc*rd. if youd like to plot w this sad excuse of a human pls hmu or drop a swift like on this n i shall bother u thru ims

❝ jameela jamil. cisfemale. she/her. ❞ ━ 𝕝𝕒𝕜𝕖𝕧𝕚𝕖𝕨 welcomes inaya kaur with open arms. the thirty-three year old makeup artist / beauty guru has been living here for seven years, give or take. on a good day, they seem the sanguine & intuitive type, but their contradictory & self-sacrificing tendencies shine through when there are no taxis into the city.
tw: suicide attempt & abortion !!
starting w her background
she’s a first generation american born in manhattan. her mum is from pakistan & her dad is from india & they both attended columbia where they met and fell in love awww how cute we luv some heteros. her mum was studying accounting and her father architecture. they married right after graduation and found a place in manhattan to start their family!!
they had a lot of trouble getting pregnant but eventually they were blessed with a set of beautiful twins !!! dimah was born and then seven minutes later, inaya came too.
although the twins always got along v well, inaya kind of felt like the black sheep. she was never as smart as her sister. she was never as popular as her sister. she tried so hard to be liked and even though her & dimah were best friends, people always seemed to like inaya less.
because they were twins, they were being compared constantly. it was always “why cant you be like dimah? dimah does this dimah does that. dimah has good friends” blah blah blah. it was frustrating bc inaya tried so hard and.........she got nothing. it was impossible for her to form her own identity when she had a sister who looked just like her.
it went on like this and eventually inaya got used to it and just....did her own thing. she figured she would never be as good as her sister so there was no use in trying to make her parents proud so she just stopped trying and tried to do what made her happy. it didn’t really work. in fact, it only made things worse.
she felt defeated. like nothing she could do would ever be good enough for them. she had friends that loved and supported her but her the disappointment from her parents’ weighed heavily on her heart and her self esteem.
suicide attempt tw !! she was only sixteen years old when she attempted to end her own life. she was found by her best friend who rushed her to the hospital where her life was saved.
after that her parents kind of realized how their words and actions affected her. (a little too late but still) and things started to get better. they were angry with her at first but hearing her explain how she felt and how they made her feel things started to click into place. she was a good kid, really. she never did anything wrong. she hung out with some questionable people but her parents started to recognize that she was just doing her best.
things were pretty ok for the next few years. not good, but ok.
and then, when she was nineteen, she noticed her period was late. it was VERY late. she took an at-home pregnancy test and it came out positive and she was absolutely TERRIFIED. her parents eventually found the test and absolutely lost their minds. they were okay with her hanging out with shady people and not getting perfect grades but the unwanted pregnancy was the final straw, it seemed.
and just like that, she was kicked out of her own house with no where to live. she ended up moving in with her best friend while she worked odd jobs to save up some money.
abortion tw !! with no money and no help to raise a child that she didn’t exactly want, inaya ended up getting her pregnancy terminated. it was the hardest decision she’d ever had to make and the choice still weighs heavy on her soul though she doesn’t regret it.
she & her best friend decided in their mid-20s that it was time for a change of scenery and that’s how she found herself in lakeview.
ever since, she’s been working as a freelance makeup artist while also being an active member of the beauty community on youtube. though her job is somewhat unconventional, it makes her really happy and she feels very successful by doing what she loves and making pretty decent money for it. she hopes to start her own makeup brand pretty soon that is.....her ultimate dream
ok that got longer than i wanted but here is more abt her personality
she is......an absolute angel. the sweetest woman u may ever meet
the opinions of others are very important to her so she is always working double time to impress people even tho.......it ultimately just makes her unhappy
she’s way better off since she’s sort of lost contact with her parents but she still.......has that uncontrollable urge to please people no matter what
puts everyone else before herself
she’s very sensitive and very emotional. she takes almost everything super personally
just wants people to like her
100000000% the mom friend. will always be texting u to make sure you’ve eaten and whatnot. will over to make u dinner if u havent. makes sure ur drinking water if you’re drinking alcohol and will wake up at 3am to drive you home if she has to
just wants everyone to be safe and happy
wears her heart on her sleeve but doesnt want people to see her sad?? also.....she does’t follow any of her own advice like a whacko.
she puts her entire heart and soul into everything she does
doesn’t stop talking tbh. she just.......doesn’t know how to shut up rly

❝ constance wu. cisfemale. she/her. ❞ ━ 𝕝𝕒𝕜𝕖𝕧𝕚𝕖𝕨 welcomes heather zhao with open arms. the thirty-five year old botanist has been living here for fifteen years, give or take. on a good day, they seem the vehement & eccentric type, but their deceitful & capricious tendencies shine through when there are no taxis into the city.
heather was also a freak as a child. why??? bc i find freaky children to be very relatable ok. im incapable of writing a character w a normal childhood.
born in raised in toronto, her was was a dentist & her mom stayed home to watch her & her 2 siblings!!! she’s the middle child and u can TELL
she was a science kid!!! like....u know the kind w all those little science kids to like grow ur own crystals and blow shit up and whatever. thought lighting stuff on fire was cool.
she was fairly popular in school!!! although most definitely a trouble maker. top of her class, student council president, yearbook editor, track star, valedictorian, her plate was FULL. and yet.....the little shit was always in detention
everything was just so BORING, which is why she chose to keep herself busy and do so many things. there was never one place she fit in, always bouncing around trying new things and befriending new ppl.
she graduated early and ended up getting hella scholarship money & she went off to uni to study dentistry just like her dad
her uni roommate was..........a horrible influence on her. well, they were bad influences on each other tbqh because heather wasn’t exactly a good egg to begin with LMAO.
they definitely focused more on their social lives than their grades, but heather still did p well in school.
heather decided pretty quickly that she did NOT want to be a dentist and eventually, after her and her roommate decided it would be a great idea to grow pot plants in their dorm closet, switched her major to botany instead and the bitch was a whiz! casually growing & selling closet pot to fund their horrible spending habits
she got engaged to her college bf on a whim & she moved to lakeview w him & they got married as soon as she finished her degree. needless to say it definitely did NOT last. she stayed married to him while she finished her masters and then the two called it quits, but she stayed in town.
a few years later she ended up pregnant w her first child shortly after she finished her doctorate!!! she’d only been dating her boyfriend for a few months at the time but of course......being the impulsive gal she is, they got married!!!! they ended up having another child before they inevitably split up. they currently share custody and they’re on v good terms!!!! there rly are no hard feelings, things just didnt work out for them romantically but they’re still v good friends!!
she got engaged again at some point but never quite made it to her third marriage, which is fine by her. she’ll probably be married another 3 times before she dies but who cares!!!!! weddings are fun. when will she learn her lesson???????? we may never know
anyway, now she out here doing plant things and being a Cool mom. she mostly does a lot of environmental research w her job but also......she runs a grow op on the low, pls don’t tell the police. she’s making bank for the future of her CHILDREN.
she rly is a whackadoodle y’all
she is Loud. generally a cheerful person but she can flip flop so quick it’s SCARY. blames her lack of sleep but she’s always been like this.
indecisive as hell, moody, generally just........a little bit psycho.
kind of has her head in the clouds????
kind of wants to fight everyone she meets.
she rly still is that little trouble maker she used to be and has only smartened up a LITTLE bit since becoming a mom LMAO.
likes to to reckless things to feel alive. still thinks everything is boring, which is probably why she’s being risky af with her fuckin grow op???
she’s like nancy botwin but actually a Good mom LOL.
a bit of a creative type! never really had the chance to explore that side of her growing up but she’s fully exploring it now that she has kids. makes their halloween costumes and now she’s 10000% a pinterest mom.
she’s Out there. marches to the beat of her own drum, doesnt care what the other bitch pta moms think. she’ll FIGHT THEM!!!! karen better watch her damn back sis
some extra lil bits bc i Gotta
her two kids are ava (8) and miles (6) and she loves them more than absolutely anything in the entire world ofc!!! they are her angels............if u let her she will show u a million photos of them and brag abt them forever.
wine mom??? we don’t know her. heather is a VODKA mom 10000%.
her ex has the kids on weekends so........that is her time to SHINE sis!!! she rly loves to go out and dance and she slays karaoke.
she rly likes cooking and she thinks she’s AMAZING but.....anyone else will tell u that she is horrible.
but she’s rly into healthy eating & her and her kids have a garden and they grow their own veggies & shit its a wholesome family activity
honestly she rly is a kid at heart!!!!
always stressed out but still crackin jokes
she’s smart but still bad at most things??? bad at cooking, bad at driving, bad at time management, but good at helping her kids out on their school projects and REALLY good at planning the best sleepovers
honestly the best way to sum her up is just..........she’s nice but she wants to fight u
back at it with bby #2! (but not #2 in my heart). again pls....HMU or LIKE THIS to plot!!
❝ jake gyllenhaal. cismale. he/him. ❞ ━ 𝕝𝕒𝕜𝕖𝕧𝕚𝕖𝕨 welcomes calvin hyde with open arms. the thirty-seven year old funeral director has been living here for thirty-seven years, give or take. on a good day, they seem the clever & self-reliant type, but their taciturn & irritable tendencies shine through when there are no taxis into the city.
ok so, cal has lived in lakeview for his entire (sad) life. he’s the only child of two (now retired) high school teachers and he has always been the little emo shit ball he is today.
he was that weird little white kid who would like......burn ants and shit with a magnifying glass probably. he was definitely an annoying little shit who had no friends & he thought it was because he was a LOSER but it was actually because he was just kind of rude???
he wasn’t actually THAT bad he just wanted to be left alone and he kind of made that fact known. it was also kinda hard for him to be the son of 2 teachers at his school u know??? he just hated school & wanted ppl to leave him ALONE.
probably only had like 3 friends but he would spend his lunches and free periods just reading outside no matter the weather.
his earliest memory is of his grandpa’s funeral and he’s been very interested in death ever since? LMAO. not in like....a whack serial killer ted bundy kinda way but more in like a.........isn’t it kinda weird that u have to stare at ur dead grandpa before he gets put in the ground kinda way????
but he never rly thought abt it in terms of a career until he started dating his first gf in high school. her dad was a funeral director and he was like 👀 yo this mans is COOOOL AF
it got to the point where he would spend more time with his gf’s dad than his actual gf bc....he is a FREAK and even though they broke up eventually, cal went to work at his funeral home right after high school & became his apprentice. a few years later & he was working at the funeral home full time as a licensed embalmer & funeral director!
he’s been there ever since and tbqh he is a complete workaholic. ppl die every day man he’s always busy, on call 24/7, helping families arrange burials and funerals and all that jazz. he much prefers the embalming and paperwork side of his job where he can work alone in peace. comforting grieving families is absolutely exhausting and it’s taken a toll on him. the mans needs a VACATION he’s never been sis...................he needs some sunlight. he needs some milk :/
his HERO and MENTOR has since passed (cal handled the funeral himself, ofc) and the funeral home was passed down to him, so he is now also the owner & manager.
he was married once upon a time!!!!!!!! he loved his wife v much but he is very bad at communicating and expressing his feelings and he tends to busy himself with work when things get tough so whenever they had a fight, he would disappear and just work work work. they were together for four years before they separated and eventually divorced.
now he is just.............alone. with his cat, gomez.
my boi....
again, he likes to be alone. he is kind of awkward, kind of anti-social, just generally uncomfortable around ppl, especially if he doesnt know them. he’s pleasant enough but he just would rather not meet new ppl if he doesnt have to LMAO.
he is ALWAYS tired. the man doesnt sleep, let me tell u. doesn’t help that he’s always drinking coffee tbh. he can stop whenever he wants he just....doesnt want to.........
bc he is so tired he is also very easily irritated & quite snappy. he is just kind of negative & rude & grouchy & snappy and i am so sorry for him.
but is he lonely???? absolutely. the mans has convinced himself he needs a solitary life and yet............sir??? something is missing?????? what is it??????
all he can do is cuddle his cat & then get upset when that lil shit yeets away bc a cat cannot be contained.
very out of touch w his emotions and likes to pretend he is a robot who feels nothing. not to be depressing af but honestly........catch him at like 4am in bed crying bc the weight of his JOB and his CRUSHING LONELINESS catches up to him sometimes
then he watches a stupid movie and feels better
he’s playin himself
he is VERY bad at dating and relationships and flirting!!!! he’s very oblivious to flirtation tbh. u can straight up offer to suck his dick and he’d be like “oh they’re just being nice!!!!” how he managed to have a wife is beyond me but he did!!!!
he’s.....lowkey soft (but dont tell him that :/ )
what else can i say
likes 2 read
especially likes 2 read when he’s havin a bubble bath
he is not sure if he wants to get married again. also not sure if he wants to have kids ever (even tho he is soft around them). the grown ass man just doesnt rly know what he wants??? and that is Okay. life is confusing sometimes, man.
he rly does love his cat
doesn’t rly drink alcohol bc his family has a history of addiction but he does smoke shame cigarettes when he’s stressed
all black everything, always. looks emo all the time bc he is.
he be lookin sleek tho, he’s v good at keeping himself well-groomed
❝ zoë kravitz. cisfemale. she/her. ❞ ━ 𝕝𝕒𝕜𝕖𝕧𝕚𝕖𝕨 welcomes alexandra palmer with open arms. the thirty two year old mechanic has been living here for seventeen years, give or take. on a good day, they seem the affable & tactile type, but their sullen & distant tendencies shine through when there are no taxis into the city.
hey whats up jake paulers. ron here once again, bc i have poor impulse control and i just love too many ppl to only pick one fc at the end of the day yk. so here’s my second kid, alex. n honestly my big little lies ass is just head over heels w zoë so its a win win. anyway, here’s my gal
folks!!!!! *claps hands* ( im too into the kurtis conner intro im sorry ), this yee haw mf right here is alexandra katherine palmer and for the early fifteen years of her life she lived in tucson, arizona so u can say shes a certified yee yee cowgirl n all tha yk
family wise the girl hasn’t had a grand ol time yk, her mom died when she was four due to cystic fibrosis and boy did it take a TOLL on her family fr. honestly tbh alex’s dad loved her mother so much and made sure that alex grew up loving the memory of her mom as much as he did
so yeah, maybe out of a need to occupy alex’s time with activities that encouraged a healthier life for her or out of fear that alex had inherited her mom’s disease, the palmer papa made sure alex was always wrapped up in sports. swimming, cross country, basketball, nothing was too much for alexandra and she genuinely felt a deep connection w athletic activities. but the real winner out of all the modalities alex performed, the girl was an innate boxer
in fact, she became kind of a rising star. alex took up boxing at twelve years old and evolved quickly, her natural disposition and agility were a deadly match and three years later, alex was invited to join a professional boxing team in louisiana ( the reason why they came to lakeview ok )
ofc alex thrived and put a lot of wins under her belt, winning a few championships, even H O W E V E R, when alex was getting ready to go big and finally turning eighteen her dad, papa palmer, had a stroke :///
so she was left with a choice of closing her dad’s garage and going off to fight ppl everywhere professionally and leaving her dad to the care of nurses and the like, or staying w her dad and abandoning her dream of being the next million dollar baby
obvs you can tell which option she picked. bc of her childhood trauma of losing a parent, alex couldn’t envision a living where she didn’t stay and help out her dad. and though nowadays papa palmer is alive and well and kicking, the window of her success is already closed. but alex doesn’t resent her dad for it tbh, if she had to make the choice ten times over, she’d pick her dad
nowadays alex works in her family’s garage and makes a living as a mechanic but she ocasionally still pumps out a few punches. she’s also v protective of her father and couldn’t bear if anything ever happened to him tbh ( can u imagine that??? a good dad?? me neither )
her personality is v hot n cold tbh shes v matter of fact and doesn’t take any bullshit and at the same time shes v confident and extroverted bc of all the sports shes ever practiced and being good at them all yk it must b nice to not suck at coordination skills
yeehaw lesbian yk
has some trouble w relationships bc she always viewed her parents marriage as the be all end all of relationships and the fact that her dad hasn’t remarried and how he says his mother n him were soulmates rlly gets to alex n its sad cause she cant believe she’ll find that in her life thus making her a lil cynical
however v flirty n will offer to pay drinks for pretty girls
kind of a sweetheart but has a hard time showing that cause she hates feeling vulnerable or some dumb shit like that so yk dont invite her to watch sad movies cause she’ll cry n then punch u bc u made her watch it
loves to fish bc shes outdoorsy n annoying
abs for fuckin days
oh def a stoner my dude, she loves to fix cars n smoke n listen to some swift lauryn hill yk how it is
won’t ever admit she has feelings ok the way she’ll show she cares about u is asking you for ur netflix password cause she considers that a familial gesture idk either
conspiracy theories galore she swears she saw an ufo while farming when she was a teenager
has a weird sense of humor but she means well
her pinterest board
okay so i still have one more intro to write but if you’d like to plot w my beautiful but ocasionally aggressive gay pls hmu or yell into the void n i will come to u. thats it arigato n sayonara
❝ oscar isaac. cismale. he/him. ❞ ━ 𝕝𝕒𝕜𝕖𝕧𝕚𝕖𝕨 welcomes enrico garrastazu with open arms. the forty year old finance consultant has been living here for three years, give or take. on a good day, they seem the shrewd & pleasant type, but their testy & brusque tendencies shine through when there are no taxis into the city.
going 3 for 3 cause i don’t know what i’m doing please help me this is a cry for help pls don’t ignore it and also oscar isaac am i right??? what a fucking mans
here he is omg the biggest douche in the fucking universe. god i love him
so enrico, rico for short yk, is the only one of my characters who doesn’t have a middle name cause his parents were too damn busy working their ass off to actually think of another name for the kid
rico is..... sort of a conundrum i think. his childhood was extremely poor, like e x t r e m e l y. his parents sold lunch to buy dinner kinda deal. and lemme tell you rico HATED growing up like that. esp bc he had to share with three older siblings and he just didn’t understand why his parents kept making babies when all they had to eat was flour and one egg yk
so yeah you can say he hates poverty, wishes people never had to go through it, the whole nine yards. but rico had something that his siblings didn’t have and it was drive. he had a smart mind for business and money, and the drive to never go through a situation like that ever again
while his parents and siblings worked, rico went the extra mile. he worked his ass off even as a kid, and poured every single dime of his money that wasn’t going to food and basic living necessities into studying. he saved up for books, went to night school, and in rico’s mind the only thing that would save him from repeating his parent’s mistake was education
turns out he was right and though he had to put in a lot more effort than the rest of the kids his age, enrico was brilliant. gifted w a logical mind that’s very quick with numbers, rico passed every single challenge in his academic life with flying colors
because of his hunger when it came to learning and business, he was noticed by quite a few higher ups in the places he worked, admiring the way he made money multiply, making himself well off ( compared to his previous situation ) and his bosses even richer
in his early twenties, rico decided that this is what he should be doing for a living. obviously he had a talent for making money, and that was a talent that a lot of people - but mostly himself would benefit from
by his thirties, enrico’s bank account was so impressive that many would say he didn’t have to work another day in his life, but a workaholic at heart and also eternally afraid of the mark that his childhood left, enrico buried himself into work more deeply
his personality is a bit unsavory to many. he’s v cynical and has quite the acid humor, but he means well yk. he believes capitalism is the worst thing to ever happen to mankind but he’s making money off it so he just makes sure to give back as much as he gets. and tho he doesn’t flaunt his charity work bc in his opinion thats a ridiculous thing to brag about, he does a lot for people in need
very confident and always thinks he’s right. he’s rlly stubborn n believes hes the smartest person in the room but,,,,, that aint it chief
always well groomed and always clean shaven bc he knows appearances mean a lot in the world of business
works as a consultant for other businesses trying to get off the ground and make sound financial decisions, he’s the guy you go to if u need help w ur tax deduction
before he came to lakeview he lived in washington and then for a while in germany and now he’s back after a sour divorce yk, bc he’s romantically a mess and can’t make a relationship work cause he’s too focused on work and on being the latino warren buffett
drinks a lot and smokes a lot and he thought he would be dead by his forties bc of the amount of salt he puts into his food but so far so good
needs reading glasses so he always has them tucked away in his jacket pocket yk, an old gentleman
wears a lot of turtlenecks under suits bc fashion is his passion
a ridiculous man but whether you like it or not he’ll always give you his unbiased opinion
believes he’s the best thing that happened to america since sliced bread
his pinterest board
