Occupation: Attending of Family Medicine at the townâs hospital Kinks: Rough sex, bondage, daddy kink, temperature play, voyeurism, group sex, breath play, sensory play, knife play, shibari. Open to almost anything except anti-kinks.
Key Points:Â Honest, driven, general good nature, ambitious.
BIO: Born in Oakland, California, Christian lived a regular life, only son to Sylvia and Stephan St. James. His grandfather, Arthur St. James migrated to the United States at a young age, cementing the basis for what Christianâs family had grown up to be. His father was a successful business man and his mother was a Chief nurse at the County Hospital at Oakland, and that planted the idea in Christianâs mind of dedicating his career and life one day to Medicine, seeing how his mother job was. Always eager to help out in any way he could, he was sure it was a no brainer to consider once the day arrived. He got a Bachelor Degree on Health Sciences at the Samuel Merrit University, then moved to Los Angeles and continued his career at the UCLA School of Medicine, where after several years, he obtained his degree in Medicine. At the same time, he was hired at the UCLA Medical Center, where he worked on his three years of residence, until the time he graduated.
Regarding his place in the D/s world, he was marked a Dominant when he was 20 years old, and had to put a halt to his career in Medicine to attend to the D/s Academy in Los Angeles, where he stayed for 6 years, before he finally got his claim, a young man called Drew Yates, and once they both graduated, he returned to complete his career as a doctor. As much as he had loved living in Los Angeles all those years, he was starting to crave a calmer life now, so when the opportunity came up for a job as an Attending of the Family Medicine department at the Riverdale Hospital in Ohio, he felt the immediate pull at the idea, and he accepted. At the same time, he would be in charge of the medical checkups for the students at the Stonewall Prep BDSM Academy, and to be able to work at the place that was considered the top D/s Academy in the country had its own appeal. In a short time, he moved to Riverdale with his claim, and was now eager to find out what this new chapter of his life would bring.

BIO QUESTIONS:
Describe your occupational journey and how you got to where you are. Â
I knew from a young age that I wanted to work in anything to do with Medicine. I think watching my mom and her work as a nurse always inspired me to it. I got my Bachelor degree at the Samuel Merrit University in Oakland, which is where I was born and raised, then I moved to L.A. and went to the UCLA School of Medicine to continue my career. I got a job at the UCLA Medical Center, where I did my residency, and then I stayed there, even after I graduated, working first as a resident, and then an attending in the emergency room. Some good years after that, I got offered a job here, in Riverdale, at the townâs hospital, and I didnât hesitate to take it, mainly because Iâve been craving a change in my life for some time now.
How would you describe yourself as a Dominant?
I consider myself to be fair mostly. I clearly demand respect from those with a lower mark, but I also know you must earn peopleâs respect, anyoneâs respect before you get it. Your actions dictate how you get treated in general. My submissiveâs pleasure and comfort is important to me, most times even more important that my own.
How do you feel about authority?
Itâs important, so that things donât fall into anarchy. Iâve never had an issue with it, being a bossy man myself sometimes. I do my best to always respect authority figures.
Name: Dominic Andrews
Designation (Dom, Switch, sub): Switch
Age: 24
Birthdate (click here for list): June 17, 2000
Faceclaim: KJ Apa
Orientation: Bisexual
Kinks: Body worship, CBT, slut play, spanking, probably more.
Anti-Kinks: Scat, gore, needles.
Key Points: (please copy/paste the bullet points from the bio. For OC characters, please add at least 4 bullet points of characteristics)
Doesn't deal with anyone he dislikes well, no matter their mark.
Doesn't want to learn, he just wants to skip to being in a claim.
Can be a himbo when he's not a brat.
Is a sweetheart on the rare times he wants to be.
BIO (add at least 2 paragraphs about who the character is)
Everything was going well in Dominic's life up until that fateful day, when Fred Andrews passed away. He'd been doing well in school, he was interested in working at Andrews Construction. He was looking forward to what life had in store for him. But after going out with his high school sweetheart, he'd arrived home to tragedy. His mother sobbing, his brothers heartbroken. For a while, he felt detached from what was happening. He couldn't feel the heartbreak for himself. But more and more, in the weeks and months after the funeral, he found it easier to snap at people. Then Noah disappeared, and suddenly it was just easier for Dominic to be rude to people. His mother got to see a kinder side to him, Danny and Archie slightly less so, but anyone else had to prove themselves to him first. His relationship ended pretty quickly after Dominic pissed off his partner's family with his new personality, which only added fuel to his fire.
The combination of anger and grief left Dominic with feelings of worthlessness. He wouldn't show it, he'd put on a smile or a biting remark, but he was convinced he'd be the Andrews that was headed for the auction block. But he figured if that was how he was going out, he could at least send some time in the shithole town his brothers had decided to call home.

We've changed just slightly how trial claims will go moving forward. Most of it's the same - still need to be level four regarding points and an exit interview with FP still needs to occur prior moving forward. The change is in the timing.
A trial clam can run anywhere from 30 to 90 days. An exit interview CANNOT be requested prior to 30 days, and can not be requested after 95 days (five days after the maximum conclusion).
During the trial claim anything can be HC'd, however, there are two points that MUST be done in a para/lengthy conversation:
One scene sexual or non sexual depicting the type of claim the partners want
A scene/conversation regarding rules, talk about future, talk about life in a claim, etc.
It will still remain the writers responsibility to request the exit interview. If it's not requested within 5 days of the trial ending, the writers would have to do another claim.

Confident
Soft-Spoken
Determined
BIO:
Clarington. It was a name that wielded power without trying. The patriarch of the family had made sure of that. On the whole, Tristan despised his father. He was an antiquated, power-hungry asshole without the bandwidth to evolve with the times. Tristan had always been mature for his age, and while he went along with the path their father set for the familyâs sons well enough, he lost his patience when Gunner was essentially exiled after coming out. He kept his mouth shut as long as needed, smiling and nodding the time away until he went off to the army with his brothers. After accepting a scholarship with the ROTC program, he opted for a later deployment. He took his full ride, bolstered with his fatherâs checkbook to cover additional costs, and went off to the prestigious Ivy League school, Columbia University in New York City, and pursued business. With the tuition money laid out and living expenses covered, Tristan cut himself off from his father. He was determined to launch his own empire. Sure, his fatherâs money and connections got him on the right path, but in a way, it felt poetic to take his privilege and weaponize it against the Colonel. Furthering his dedication to his cause was his chance reunion with his twin brother, Gunner. Finding each other in New York City, Tristan was patient but relentless in his attempt to convince Gunner that heâd never given up on him and that heâd always been on his side. After a long but perfectly understandable length of time, they rekindled their brotherhood. Tristan promised Gunner heâd join him at the same academy after he got far enough in his education at Columbia.
Obtaining top marks in school and making his own connections along the way, Tristan opted to spend more time earning his degree to secure his place in the world before setting off to enroll at Stonewall. He worked at a big-time firm in the city for a CEO on the verge of retirement. With only about 5-10 years of employment left, the CEO agreed to sign the company over to Tristan once he was ready, meaning graduated, claimed, and finished with his service in the army. He knew showing up at Stonewall when he did meant less time, age-wise, to find a claim, but quite frankly, he wasnât bothered by the time crunch. Plagued by good looks and limitless charm, Tristan was perhaps overly confident in his ability to find a claim quickly, especially upon arriving and receiving the Switch mark - which wasnât ideal, but still allowed him to easily become what heâd always considered himself best suited to become: a Dominant.
Stonewall Academy was the beginning of the rest of his life. Heâd find his claim, graduate, and then color the name âClaringtonâ in a different, decidedly more vibrant shade. He detested the legacy his father was so proud of and was eager to besmirch it in every way imaginable.
BIO QUESTIONS:
What are your feelings about the mark you have received? Â - Iâm at peace with it. You donât come from a family like mine not thinking youâre suited for the Dominant mark, so getting the Switch one was initially a let down, but logically, itâs all the same. I can still claim a submissive like I otherwise would. Iâll just have to suffer through some mandatory submissive courses that will ultimately prove useless to me. Itâs not the end of the world - just an inconvenience.
How do your feelings on the system compare to your parentsâ feelings on it? - Like my parents, I appreciate the societal order it maintains. Unlike my parents, I recognize itâs faults - like marking Archer submissive, for instance. There are glaring issues in the marking process that require serious attention, but beyond the assignment of the marks, I respect and appreciate the system.
Where do you see yourself after you graduate?  - In a word; successful - married, claimed, a tycoon in the business world with multiple homes and a legacy all my own. I want to sneer down at my father from my own, superior place in the world - and I will. I must.
How do you feel about authority? - I respect it when itâs earned - and yes, Iâll be the judge of who deserves said respect. When Iâm in a position of authority - which is often - I demand respect and will

ICÂ INFORMATION:
Name: Stevie Evans
Designation (Dom, Switch, sub): SwitchÂ
Age: 21Â
Birthdate June 1stÂ
Faceclaim: Kit ConnorÂ
Orientation: homosexual leaning [ with maybe bisexual leaning]Â
Kinks:
Anti-Kinks:
Key Points:Â
- Warm and happy.Â
- Enjoys cooking.Â
- Wants to see the best in everyone.Â
- Cares deeply about everyone
BIO:Â
As with all the Evans family, they grew up in poverty. Stevie grew up watching his older brothers scrap and put on a good face to try and hide how bad things were. Though fun jokes and light hearted fun hadn't ever really kept Stevie from being aware that they didn't live like other folks. It had made Stevie grow up both idolising his brothers and parents, as well instil that need to make sure he was pulling his own weight in the house. He was still fairly young when he finally got a job as a kitchen hand at a local restaurant. They were kind enough to pay him under the table and he'd often leave a envelope with some cash in it on Sam's or his parents desk without comment. Everyone knew they needed the money, so the underage work and the legality of it all went unsaid. After all it wasn't like some of the other members of the family weren't doing worse than simply washing dishes.Â
As Stevie grew up, he stayed in the same kitchen that had hired him. Moving up from kitchen hand to helping in the kitchen proper. It. It helped him bring food home when there was left overs and he ultimately had something of a love for cooking. Though, perhaps that was more the sense of warmth it bought when he could pass out plates of food for his family.Â
When Stevie was given the switch mark, he wasn't too surprised. Though he tended to lean dominant- he knew he enjoyed giving people some sense of security and being able to ground them. And that was something he could do regardless of the mark.Â
BIO QUESTIONSÂ (Please answer the following questions as the character. They are meant to be short answer, so please more than one-word answers):
What are your feelings about the mark you have received?Â
Fine. I mean- I'm sort of a people pleaser but more because I want to be there for people. You know? Give them what they need. And sometimes it's a strong hand and sometimes it's a softer touch. And I think there's a good balance there where I am right now.Â
How do your feelings on the system compare to your parentsâ feelings on it?
I mean it sort of is what it is, right? The system is there. Honestly I was more worried about my brothers going though it then my parents worries. You know? But it seemed to work out, more or less.Â
Where do you see yourself after you graduate? Â
I mean Sam has that whole Evans House thing but honestly I haven't thought that far ahead on my own plans. Hopefully, you know, I have a claim and some sort of security in my job. Maybe get into social work? I haven't really figured it out.Â
How do you feel about authority?
I mean I enjoy it when I have it. So...yeah? It's not too bad.Â

Name: Elliott Gabriel Anderson Designation: Switch Age: 25 Birthdate: July 7th Faceclaim:Darren Criss Orientation: Bisexual Kinks: Bondage, spanking, Biting/Scratching, Public Play, Rough Sex, Roleplay, Marking, Daddy! Kink Anti-Kinks: Scat, Gore, Infantalism, Pet Play, Urine, Incest
Key Points: - Reading is a big passion for Elliott, he has his own book collection that has some rare collector items in it. - Swimming is a big passion for Elliott, whether it be him pursuing it professionally or even teaching. He loves being in the water. - Essentially a social butterfly, Elliott is very comfortable being around others and can easily strike up a conversation.
BIOÂ
Elliott was a very a-typical young boy growing up, he had his group of friends in school, participated in sports, got along with his siblings and did his best to make his parents proud of what he was becoming. It grew increasingly hard as their older brother Cooper was the golden child so Elliott kept to himself. Finding refuge in books and swimming.
As he got older, the time was looming for them to go to Stonewall Prep to truly begin his journey, but Elliott wanted to experience more of life before committing completely to the process, so he competed in swimming competitions around the country, reading as many books as he can and also getting experience with others. Elliott doesnât talk of his love life much because there is not much to talk about, he lost his virginity in high school to his girlfriend at the time but he found his interests also aligned with men so he explored both sides. But his time travelling around the country also enabled him to meet new people and get experience.
It wasnât until he was at a swimming meet that as he got his medal, was when it really clicked that he wanted to find someone. Be in a claim and start his life. Swimming only did so much for him and the casual sex would only go so far. So once he finished his circuit, Elliott packed his bags and headed for Stonewall Prep.
BIO QUESTIONSÂ (Please answer the following questions as the character. They are meant to be short answer, so please more than one-word answers):
What are your feelings about the mark you have received? Iâve always felt more inclined in both directions so to speak, enjoying control but more than happy to let it go for someone else. So it tracks.
How do your feelings on the system compare to your parentsâ feelings on it? We believe in the system, itâs what keeps everything going.
Where do you see yourself after you graduate? Maybe travelling with my claim, would love to see some of Europe.
How do you feel about authority? I believe it is necessary, without authority then chaos will ensue.

IC INFORMATION:
Name: Jude Anderson
Designation (Dom, Switch, sub): sub
Age: 25
Birthdate : July 7th
Faceclaim: Darren Criss
Orientation: Panromantic/Homosexual
Kinks: Romance. Praise kink. Height differences. Voyeurism. Exhibitionism. Breath play. Choking. Bondage. Shabari. Sensory play. Impact play. Marking/Bruises/Biting/Scratching. Hair pulling. Rough treatment. Edging. Control and denial. Body worship. Voice kink. Daddy!kink. Power dynamics. CNC. ( There might be more Iâm missing but just run something by me and we can talk about it since Iâm open to most things )
Anti-Kinks: Scat. Sounding. Vore. Humiliation. Degradation. Age play that involved infantilization. Anything that results in permanent injury or scarring unless previously discussed
Key Points:
Exceptionally ambitious. Left for a few years to follow his dreams of being a Broadway star. Will sometimes put those dreams and ambitions above or in front of other essential things. Can come off as selfish.
Empathetic and loyal. Always trying to himself in someone elseâs shoes and connect with them on an emotional level. However, itâs not always a good thing as it can leave him too invested in someone. Blind him to red flags or wound him on emotional levels when he feels slighted.
Outspoken. When he sees an injustice or feels there is a prejudice even if itâs against the norm or what others expect of him, he will often speak out of place and call it out. This can also manifest in some general brattiness but he will never be purposefully disrespectful.
Insecure and people pleaser. While he tries to project an outward exterior of confidence and security in knowing who he is, often times he can become deeply insecure over seemingly unimportant things. Always feeling like he needs to be the best at everything in order to be liked and loved.
Being raised in the Anderson family meant that appearance was everything. The perfect nuclear family, always presenting their best faces forward. Never even a hair out of place. Which was exception hard with Judeâs hair that never seemed to cooperate and needed to be plastered down into submission. It seemed his older brother Cooper never had a problem being perfect at everything, tall, blue eyes and a smile that could bring the world to their knees. Most importantly, a Dominant. The pride and joy of the Anderson father. Everything that Jude was expected to live up to and always compared to. Sometimes it could be suffocating trying to rise to those expectations but it also helped motivate him to be a better version of himself than he was yesterday. Everything he did was an attempt to move out of that powerful shadow. Including allowing his dad to teach him anything and everything there was about cars and engines or playing all the sports he knew his parents would approve of if just to have them at his games and feel their pride for just a few moments.
The first time Jude realized he wasnât exactly like the other guys on his team was in the 7th grade. During a time when all kids are going through puberty and discovering who they really are; Jude found himself with lingering gazes on, not on girls but rather other boys. When his friends talked about wanting to kiss or date the girls in their class, he found himself daydreaming about the cute boy from Social Studies. It took a while and some carefully worded questions, afraid that he was broken in some way, to an older mentor that he was able to conclude that he was gay. Jude being Jude meant that once he reached that epiphany, there was no way of keeping quiet about it.Â
However, in hindsight, he probably shouldnât have been as impulsive and rash as coming out to his entire school in one big show by confessing to the boy he had a crush on through song. That moment was when he lost a lot of the people he once considered his friends and the bullying started. Every day, without repose, he couldnât escape the hateful words, alienation, or shoves in the hallways. Being smaller than the average boy, made Jude an even bigger target, often finding himself stuffed into small places or knocked down by guys twice his size.Â
It seemed like there was no ending in sight and it all climaxed the night Jude went to a school dance with a friend, the only other out gay guy at their school. That night a bunch of his former teammates jumped them in the parking lot, beating both boys within inches of their lives. That incident landed Jude in the hospital for months and by the time he was released, he refused to go back to that school. Instead, he begged his parents to enroll him in a private school, where he felt much safer. Though safer was for a long time a relative word as it took a long for him to get over the PTSD from the attack. If it hadnât been for a new friend he made, that pulled out more of Judeâs inner personality and confidence, he probably wouldnât have survived it.
For a while, it seemed like life was going exactly how Jude wanted. But, the thing about life is, that it never goes according to plan.Â
He was Judeâs first boyfriend. His very first boyfriend.Â
While Jude had always given off an aura of experience, maturity, and knowing more than he did; truth be told, he was clueless. It had been the first time someone made him feel like the center of the universe. As though he were the sun and everything they had spent their whole life searching for. And in his youthful hopeless romanticism, he missed all the red flags and signs of danger. He didnât notice how his life started revolving solely around him or when he started becoming more controlling and demanding. One day Jude, a social butterfly extrovert, looked around and found himself isolated and alone. Systematically his boyfriend had removed everyone else from his life. A lot of them out of jealousy, accusing Jude of wanting to cheat on him or that they were people who wanted to break them up. Jude lost contact with a lot of close friends and people he cared about or who cared about him. Including his own twin brother and his Dom who had been a close friend.
Day after day, it seemed like they were fighting more than they were communicating. When Jude felt like enough was enough, he tried to end things. While he had tried to break up with him, his boyfriend refused to accept it. Which resulted in Jude being stalked, threatened and then one day he woke up tied up, being held captive. His ex kept ranting about how he wasnât going to allow Jude to throw him away or allow him to be claimed by anyone else. For a week, Jude endured it all. Every indignity. Every abuse. He did everything he could to survive and appease his ex until finding his opportunity to escape. It wasnât easy but once he was able to get free of the bondages, Jude ran like hell and never looked back.Â
He kept running until he found himself in a new state altogether.
It took a while for Jude to rebuild his life, though he didnât tell anyone about that incident. Mostly out of shame and embarrassment, but also because he was afraid of seeing pity in their eyes. As far as anyone knew, he left to chase his dreams. The selfish part of him dropping everyone and everything to go after that coveted spotlight. Which, he did find, eventually. It took a lot of hard work. Dragging himself from open audition to open audition, pounding the pavement, networking, and working in the ensemble or chorus before landing himself a starring role. Finally, Jude saw his name on the marquee and the posters originating a leading role. But⌠with that role came fame and publicity, his face and name everywhere. It didnât take long before his ex found him. And even though Jude had put all of that behind him, working through it all with therapy, there was still some residual fear. As soon as his run and time on the stage ended, again he once again was running. This time, however, it wasnât to somewhere new but home. Back to where he knew heâd have some safety.
BIO QUESTIONS (Please answer the following questions as the character. They are meant to be short answers, so please more than one-word answers):
What are your feelings about the mark you have received?Â
At first⌠It was a little hard to accept. Donât get me wrong. I didnât have any delusions that I would be a Dom but I had always assumed that when the time came; I would be at the very least a Switch. After all, I didnât fit the stereotypes of what a sub was supposed to be. Iâm not meek, or complacent, nor do I let people push me around or try to make me feel less than. Iâve always been very extroverted and athletic, excelling at everything I did. However⌠after a while, I realized that all of that was just internalized prejudices. It was all assumptions I made based on what other people had always told me what a sub was supposed to be and not what they actually were. There is so much diversity and variety in sub because no two people are alike. While I wish we lived in a world where we werenât stuck with labels on us, Iâve come to accept my mark and even connect with it in a way that makes me love it and myself more. And I guess, yes, I do have more submissive tendencies in me and enjoy the idea of being claimed by someone that I can spend my life making happy. A lot more than I realized.
How do your feelings on the system compare to your parentsâ feelings on it?
Ah. Well, thatâs a bit tough. My parents have an old-fashioned way of viewing the world. They like to believe in going with the status quo. While I agree on some level with some of the systems, I also believe in progress. In order to survive things need to evolve and keep progressing forward or else everything will be lost.Â
Where do you see yourself after you graduate? Â
Ideally with someone that I can spend the rest of my life growing with. Someone who respects me and the vision I have for my future and will work with me to build a future together
How do you feel about authority?
While it should be respected, it shouldnât be followed blindly and never questioned. There are rules and order for a reason. It keeps people safe and protected but when it starts to be abused and used as a tool to control people or discriminate against people; then itâs time for a change.
WRITING SAMPLE (Only for first characters. Does not have to be in character. Feel free to copy/paste a former passage):
It felt like their town was in a pressure cooker, heat slowly rising and everything ready to blow until there was nothing left. Every week it felt like there was something worse happening. A killer on the loose, trailer parks burning down and that was on top of the normal navigating drama between friends and relationships. So, finding a minor escape in a place not very many people would think of to find him and with someone who was âÂ
Abs⌠Shirtless⌠Roman⌠Holy cowâŚÂ
Of course, he had expected to find the Serpent relaxing after a long day but he hadnât prepared himself for the possibility of seeing Roman like this â pants that had to have been put on in a hurry were hanging low enough that Jude could see the curve of his hips, the deep-set v-line, tanned muscles toned and hard from construction and â no he wasnât staring!Â
At least thatâs what Jude was telling himself as he forced his gaze to focus on Romeâs face, not that was much of a distraction either. It reminded him why helping his friend choose clothes for a date had been so hard⌠not hard but difficult. Yes, it was difficult because they had a tension between them that they both ignored because as people who had feelings for other people, it wouldnât be right. Even though lately Jude was feeling more lonely in a relationship than he did out of one⌠However, he loved Dare with his whole heart so he could endure anything. Even if his body was not on the same page at this moment.Â
A hand came up and rubbed the back of his neck, as Jude went inside the trailer, letting the door close behind him. âYeah⌠I know⌠I justââ What did he want? If he were single, heâd probably be here to kiss Roman and tangle up some sheets but that wasnât why he came, right? âNeeded a friendly face and someone who is in a weird place like me. Who understandsâŚâ Pulling off his hoodie, the t-shirt underneath sticking to it, Jude had opted to be a lot more casual than usual tonight â even his hair wasnât as gelled down as normal. âI figured you could use someone like that tooâŚâ

For as long as he can remember, itâs been Troy and his mom against the world. Sheâs the one person he trusts more than anyone. When Troy was six, life flipped upside down when his mom lost her claim (Troyâs father) under unknown circumstances. Within a year, she was claimed again, but her new Dom turned out to be a nightmare. He was controlling, abusive, and cruel to both Troy and his mom. Troy found refuge in music, escaping into it as a way to process the chaos around him. He spent as much time away from home as possible, searching for any beat to drown out reality.
By sixteen, another claim ended abruptlyâthis time with his momâs Dom dead under more suspicious circumstances. Whispers followed them, rumors that Troyâs mom was more than just unlucky in love. But when the dust settled, she met Dr. Brown, a wealthy and respected man who not only wanted to claim her but offered to adopt Troy as well. Troy was skeptical at first, but Dr. Brownâs kindness and stability were hard to ignore. The transition to a life of luxury felt surreal, but for the first time, Troy felt safe.
Now enrolled at Stonewall, Troy has a shot at a future he never imagined. With Dr. Brown funding his Stonewall education and encouraging him to pursue music after. But just as he starts to settle into this new chapter, a question begins to haunt him: Were his momâs past Doms really just unluckyâor did she have a hand in their deaths? And if she did, what happens when Dr. Brown finds out?

BIO:
Arin grew up in a life of luxury where he never had to want for anything. If he wanted it then he got it, and he had a line of nannies and slaves at his disposal to do as he wanted or demanded. His parents, while actively involved in his life, did work and had responsibilities outside of the house too. This meant Arin would constantly find ways to entertain himself when his parents werenât home. His favorite pastime was targeting two younger children that lived there. They were the grandchildren of one of his fatherâs slavesâ the Lopez twins, and Arin found great amusement in the fact they were being raised by a slave, even if secretly their grandmother had always treated Arin well even with the young manâs silly demands and orders heâd throw at her and the other servants.
As he got older, Arin found a passion for drawing, doodling randomly in a sketchbook that heâd kept hidden away from the prying eyes of his parents or the servants. Even as his parents encouraged his love for drawing and tried to encourage him to pursue it, Arin would shrug them off and turned his focus to partying where heâd drink with his friends, sleep around and eventually stumble home drunk or be dropped off by the police, much to his parents dismay but they brushed it off as âchildish behaviorâ and that heâd grow out of it eventually.
While he did eventually stop getting picked up by the police, Arin still continued to go to parties with his friends and drink, even as his parents tried to encourage him to pursue college and to actually find something he wanted to do with his life. Eventually, his father did put his foot down enough to say that Arin either needed to enroll into Stonewall and start getting his life together or heâd be cut off entirely. Which is the only reason that Arin has finally made his way to the academy, because the only way his father will continue to support him at all is by actively searching for a claim. The only thing Arin isnât expecting is things may not be entirely like home anymore and heâs not going to be the person in charge when it comes to him and the Lopez twins.
BIO QUESTIONS:
What are your feelings about the mark you have received?:
I think someone was unaware of how to do their job, but as a Switch it does allow me to still claim as a Dominant. So, I suppose I can let the mistake slide this time.
How do your feelings on the system compare to your parentsâ feelings on it?:
My parents believe the system works and so do I. Thereâs those that are meant to serve and those that theyâre meant to serve.
Where do you see yourself after you graduate?:
Claimed and prepared to inherit and take over everything from my father.
How do you feel about authority?:
The world wouldnât run as smoothly if there wasnât authority. Thereâs those that are meant to obey and do as their told and then thereâs those that are in control.
