* reece king, 22, he/him | oh, them? that’s eden sullivan. they’ve lived in carina bay for, like, eleven years. last time i spoke to them they were a gift shop cashier, and if i remember correctly, they’re a scorpio. seeing them around always makes me think of late night road trips, cheap moscato and ocean breeze candles.
he was born in houston, texas and moved to nc when he was 11
he had a fairly normal childhood for a while honestly, he has a brother named alex who's 6 years younger than him and they all lived their lives in houston like a happy family should
things mostly started to change when he was around 8-9 and his parents started to become extremely unhappy together, although it was subtle at first bc they wanted to try and hide it from their kids as much as possible bc they thought that was the best thing for them
this kinda made it worse though, because it became more obvious that something was up but they were only trying to hide it. passive aggressive comments, never wanting to do anything as a family, tension building up all the time, etc etc
it really was a case of them needing to let go for the benefit of everyone rather than staying together bc they didn't want to go through a divorce but it was inevitable either way
his parents did up splitting up about a year later and they tried to make it the most amicable situation possible but it was just.........sad.......because they all wanted it to work so badly and his parents really did love each other but at the end of the day couldn't make it work as life partners and so that was that it seemed
eden's mom moved to DC afterwards to stay with family and the rest of them (eden, his lil brother and his dad) moved to carina bay for a new start and there were family friends here who could help them get back on their feet. they weren't living too far from each other too so the kiddos still saw their mom on a semi regular basis and it was okay and better for everyone that way and they could move on with their lives but still left eden wondering, if they loved each other so much, why couldn't they stay together? obvs as a kid this was something he struggled with and it was rough when he didn't get the answers he wanted or felt jealous of kids whose parents were still together and happy but........ it had to be like that
life resumed as normal (as normal as possible) and he grew up in nc with his small family and loved it tbh it felt like home and maybe it was a lil unconventional but he felt like he didnt have much to complain about and felt lucky to still have a good relationship with both of his parents
MOVING ON TO PERSONALITY N STUFF:
eden is a people person and likes making friends and all that altho he's not a very #wild person, he's really chill and a big believer in karma and the idea of what energy he puts out into the world being returned to him and all that
what he IS though is a huge hopeless romantic like my boy wants to fall in love and have a cute family and live in a beach house with a dog and two cats like he fantasizes about that kinda life
what can he say he loves love and takes all that seriously........... he saw his parents unable to make their marriage work and knows that's something he doesn't want to go through himself but believes and KNOWS he doesn't *have* to go through it
on the flip side while he has these idealized plans for the future (not even plans just things he hopes happens at some point lmao) eden in the present is a bit of a misguided mess
he does want to travel and explore the world but feels tied to carina bay bc his family is here and he loves his little brother too much to move away right now and leave him. he lives in an apartment like 30 minutes from his dads house nd works at a gift shop which is NOT a long term solution but he took time off school to work because he has no idea what he wants to do with his life and didn't think spending the money (that he doesn’t even have let’s be real) aimlessly on tuition was a smart idea
he thinks he'll figure it out soon but for now he's a bit unrealistic about his plans (he needs people to bring him back down to earth n reality from time to time) and is kinda stuck in a stalemate and likes to fantasize about his future rather than do anything to actually make it happen
but he has good intentions i swear he can just be frustrating and stubborn about it all
he's bisexual and open about it
he loves his family and still sees his mom whenever he can
he REALLY wants a dog but his apartment complex won't let him have one and he's really upset about it
he loves talking to tourists it makes his heart happy
a big fan of road trips
can be found day dreaming 9.5/10 times
anyways this is kind of all over the place bc he's a new character and i'm figuring him out as i go, so i just wanna jump into the writing bc i spent too MUCH TIME RAMBLING HERE and have no idea if any of this makes sense so........... i have a plot page here that’s a bit of a work in progress and eden’s been in town for a long time so lots of potential for connections so LIKE this and i'll come to you or come hmu if you wanna plot!!! <3
