legacy

oliver carter was put into the system the day he was born, a year or two here there and everywhere, bags permanently packed and never too heavy. by age six he had a routine, practically terrorising whoever was stupid enough to take him in. the guilt was quick to fade when he realised just how little they cared, the lack of effort and instant frustration with him just causing him to pull further away. by fourteen they'd basically given up, tossing him in a group home almost entirely filled with boys much older than he was. it was here that ollie learned to fend for himself, and became a light sleeper. by sixteen he found himself faced with a deadline, in two more years he'd be out on his own and he hadn't even begun to think about money. at first he's doing favours for people here and there, running deliveries on his bike after school for whoever wanted to pay the fee, but eventually this turned into low level running for the club. as long as he didn't ask questions, the baby faced teen was perfect for not arousing suspicion. after all, who would think to check a kid's bike basket out in the suburbs?

by nineteen, ollie gains an official low level position with the m/c. he obsesses over proving himself at every turn, always the first to volunteer for jobs other's would rather not do. he didn't mind the risk, all he had was tied up in the club. protecting it felt natural, came easy to him. once the business opened it became a fixation, he poured himself into learning not only the basics but the electronic side of vehicles, earning his qualification as a technician was honestly one of the best days of his life.

more information:

ollie is not very book smart, just barely scraping by in high school. though he always thrived in hands on work, even then. he distinctly remembers giving his crush a wooden jewellery box he'd spent a week and a half on, only to be turned down harshly in front of everyone. (WC)

bought himself the cheapest apartment he possibly could, he's barely home anyways. he still can't help but wake at every small noise while he's in bed, a lingering effect of his ubringing.

interested in men but has never persued any, he freezes up around guys he's interested in. his confidence with women and femme non binary people is... unfounded.

undiagnosed adhd.

wanted connections:

rejector: the person who turned him down harshly in front of everyone in high school, he still has lot's of resentment and probably has something planned to mess w them. (f.)

protectee: this person is very special to ollie, he sees them as someone who needs protection, someone who's niave and putting themselves in harms way. ( any gender.)

julian was born to a baker and a physics teacher, a decent childhood, nothing special if you went to the trouble and asked him. he's always loved his mother, his ultimate support system. not once had she let him down or failed to protect him. though his father distanced himself when he came out as pansexual, that became easier with the divorce. moving in full time with his mum turned him entirely into a 'mama's boy', willing to fight to defend her the way she had him in his early teens.

the lie begun in high school, a twenty or fifty going missing from his mother's purse each month until she got suspicious. eventually he turned to social media, marketing himself and trying every niche possible in an attempt to keep up the facade. but not everyone can be an influencer. buying followers and engagement became the easy answer, the money he made back only just covering what he'd spent in the first place with not much to spare. but that didn't keep him from blowing money he didn't have to keep people close. the return on investment was... poor. as was the quality of people he kept by his side. of course people would use him for things he never had in the first place, real friends are hard to come by when you can't be fully honest.

not able to afford college, julian begun to work in secret in his mother's bakery, in and out before the clock hit 8am. for a while he had some savings, planning to go to college for marketing and hopefully get his image right where he wanted it to be. but just as that possibility edged over the horizon, his friends came back from college begging to be taken out to celebrate. within a month he was back in debt, having to move out of his own apartment into a shared one. now facing the reality he's back where he started, if not worse off.

being an only child has it's perks, especially when you're somewhat of a miracle. doted on day in and day out, estelle never had to ask for anything, she simply got.

this, however, started to become an issue when it came to ambition. simply put, she had none. no talent, no big ideas, nothing that could live up to her parents insane expectations of their little star.

until estelle learned of ( muse i )'s designs. in an instant, the girl with the eye for fashion (and not much else), finally had her big idea.

sure, she'd feel guilty from time to time. but it's hard to let guilt distract you when you're drinking champagne on a yacht with the best of the best now isn't it? it felt right. like she belonged. though a shadow always lurks behind her eyes.

her life is comfortable, and as co creative director, she no longer has to turn in designs, simply approve them. everything seems to be falling into place. at least for now.

home is a scary place, a place of watching over her shoulder and vetting every room like she was a fed. (muse i) could be lingering anywhere, and she's not sure she's ready to face them.

(muse d) on the other hand, is one of the only reasons she returns. feeling comfortable and wanted for once in her life is a feeling she's not willing to give up any time soon.

old friend: someone from high school that was super close with estelle but they naturally drifted apart (neutral/friendly)
