what's done, is done

Thanks so much! We’re posting a lot of promos, so hopefully things pick up soon!

Unfortunately, names are set in stone unless you have a very good reason (ie. the name triggers you in some way) for wanting to change them. I can’t wait to read your app!

Yes, I think Kate Beckinsale would work well for Elizabeth!

AMY LAWRENCE A G E - Twenty-Four Years Old O C C U P A T I O N - Drug Dealer F A C E C L A I M - Alisha Wainwright A V A I L A B I L I T Y - Open

Amy Lawrence; your mother taught you that you could only depend on yourself. Your life in Las Vegas was modest. The desert was your home, and you had to work for what you got. You didn’t want to follow in your mother’s footsteps. You didn’t want to be a dealer. A member of the mob. But, they were family, she told you. You don’t turn your back on family and they didn’t turn their back on you. Your mother’s illness was convincing enough to stick with the people who paid her medical bills.

FAMILY - What now? Your mother was your best friend. Without a father around and no siblings to play with, she was your everything. She taught you everything you know and when she got sick, it was devastating. You learned to lean on those around you; the mafia you were employed by became your family. When your mother died, they held you when you cried and told you it would be okay. You weren’t sure you could believe them.

LOVE - A change in priorities. You used to love going out with your friends and having fun with strangers. You used to be the girl who smiled wide while you danced on tables. When your mom got sick, you stopped going to bars and stopped putting yourself first. You took care of her and didn’t do much else. With her death, you didn’t go back to the girl you used to be. You continued to keep everyone out, regardless of how determined they were to have you let them in. Marcus Hawthorne was the most persistent of all.

MARCUS HAWTHORNE - Annoyance

A bit impatient, are we? I am too. I’ll start releasing skeletons individually as they’re written, which means you’ll see Amy Lawrence (Alisha Wainwright) very shortly.

Yes! I can see him working as Marcus.

As soon as they’re written. I can’t give you an exact timeline, but it will be a few days at least, as I have a fairly packed weekend.

Same here, anon. Same here.

ALISTAIR HAWTHORNE A G E - Thirty Years Old O C C U P A T I O N - Loan Shark F A C E C L A I M - Gaspard Ulliel  A V A I L A B I L I T Y - Open

Alistair Hawthrone; the eldest and most responsible. So your father thought. You kept up appearances. Behind closed doors you’d drink yourself senseless and act out your deepest desires no matter who you hurt. You were supposed to be designated driver that night. You looked your mother in the eye and promised you’d get your brothers home safe. You didn’t exactly break that promise, but your parents would disagree. You knew you and brothers were bound to find more trouble in Vegas. After all, it was you who found Noah MacCallum.

“let not light see my black and deep desires”  

FAMILY - Endlessly devoted. While you never really cared for anything, your brothers were the exception. The encouraged all parts of you, the good, bad, and the ugly. The three of you were toxic for each other in the worst best way possible. Not even they can really see how deep your problem lies. 

ANDERSON AND MARCUS HAWTHORNE - Brothers

LOVE - An escape not quite as sweet. Alcohol was one way you chose to block out the world around you, sex was another. Other people were an escape from your own life and a distraction from what was going on inside. You have a few loyal companions in your little black book, but nothing was quite as satisfying as a stranger next to you in a bed you didn’t recognize.

MARCUS HAWTHORNE A G E - Twenty-Seven Years Old O C C U P A T I O N - Escort F A C E C L A I M - Francisco Lachowski A V A I L A B I L I T Y - Open

Marcus Hawthrone; the baby of the family, you never had much responsibility. You spent your time goofing off and spending your father’s abundance of money, idolizing your brothers. The charming class clown, everyone loved you. You knew how to make anyone around you adore you and do whatever you said. Your charm was your subtle manipulation, but not even your talented tongue could get you and your brothers out of the mess you caused.

“let not light see my black and deep desires”  

FAMILY - Closest thing to the Musketeers. Growing up in New York, your brothers were your closest friends. While your elder brothers had their issues, you were the glue that held the three of you together. When the crash happened, the three of you far drunker than you should have been, your father sent you away. Covering up the deaths of a small family of three was his job. The three of you were supposed to stay on the straight and narrow. Your father must’ve known that was an impossibility. 

ALISTAIR AND ANDERSON HAWTHORNE - Brothers

LOVE - Mystery girls drove you crazy. You always knew how to play the field. High school was your playground and your peers served as your toys. Your twisted words made the world fall to your knees. Then, you packed up and moved to Vegas and met her. She was a woman who didn’t fall for your charms and tricks. It only made you want her more.

AMY LAWRENCE - Infatuation

ANDERSON HAWTHORNE A G E - Twenty-Eight Old O C C U P A T I O N - Drug Trafficker F A C E C L A I M - Ed Westwick A V A I L A B I L I T Y - Open

Anderson Hawthrone; you were always more reserved than your brothers. You followed along and played their games, but you preferred solitude to the lavish and reckless lifestyles they led. A late New York night, you let them convince you to drink yourself stupid. Stupid enough to drive. You’ll never forget what their faces looked like, your victims. A child would never grow up because of you. While your brothers remained seemingly unchanged when your father sent you to Las Vegas to clean up your mess, you fell into a spiral you cannot control.

“let not light see my black and deep desires”  

FAMILY - Your greatest enemy. You love your brothers, but since the accident, you can’t stand to look them. They’re just cruel reminders of the night that ruined your life. They may have been satisfied spending the money your father sent while he cleared your names of vehicular manslaughter, but you were not. Though, you’d go through the motions, working for the man Alistair seemed so attached to. 

ALISTAIR AND MARCUS HAWTHORNE - Brothers

LOVE - Alone is what you deserved. You were only in love once in your life. Your partner was your entire world, your light in the bleak and fake reality that was the Upper East Side. After the accident, you knew you weren’t worth the happiness they brought you. Perhaps you weren’t worth anything. Maybe you never were. 

Gaspard Ulliel, Ed Westwick and Francisco Lachowski are the next three skeletons to come. Then, Alisha Wainwright, Lavern Cox and Tatiana Maslany.

ISAIAH HAHN A G E - Thirty-Three Years Old O C C U P A T I O N - Security F A C E C L A I M - Steven Yeun A V A I L A B I L I T Y - Open

Isaiah Hahn; you never let your baby face keep you from being the most terrifying man people would encounter. You dress in sharp, pressed suits, leaning against the lobby walls as a cigarette dangles from your lips. You watch the world around you and frighten just about anyone who crosses your path. Your presence alone deters troublemakers. It’s rare when people dare challenge you or your authority. When they do; they face your wrath.

“let not light see my black and deep desires”    

FAMILY - Work is home. You never knew your family. You never knew a family at all. Put into the system at a young age, you were always shuffled between foster homes, always missing adoption. Though, you never particularly minded. You hated staying in one place for too long, even as a child. Besides, your foster homes were never exactly pleasant. It wasn’t until you were employed under the MacCallums at The Bohemia and Lennox that you finally decided that having a home wasn’t so bad.

LOVE - Have to meet your match. Love was not what you craved. You wanted a partnership. You wanted someone that understood each part of you and encouraged it, not someone who tried to change your foundation. Anyone who gets too close saw too much darkness within you. You weren’t going to change for anyone and you didn’t want anyone to change for you.

LUCIA ZIMMERMAN A G E - Twenty-One Years Old O C C U P A T I O N - Cocktail Waitress at Lennox, Aspiring Singer F A C E C L A I M - Hailee Steinfeld A V A I L A B I L I T Y - Open

Lucia Zimmerman; your mother always wanted a second shot at fame. You were her ticket there. Longer than you could remember you were dressed up in itchy dresses, made up beyond recognition to be in the pageants your mother adored. For over a decade you took part in what you abhorred to see a smile graze your darling mother’s face. She cared so much, you couldn’t refuse her small source of happiness. When she remarried, you went off to college to live your own life. Though, she infected you with the desire to have your name shine in lights. Where better to be famous than Fabulous Las Vegas?

“let not light see my black and deep desires”  

FAMILY - All you need is a life of your own. After your parents’ messy divorce when you were 8 years old, you rarely saw your father. Your mother lived off the cheques he sent and spent her days drinking Chardonnay with her friends or planning your latest talent routine. She was never a cruel woman, but her overbearing parenting style left you smothered. You craved your own identity and refuse to return phone calls as a result.

LOVE - Young, wild, free. You are no stranger to the one night stand. Tinder dates or going back to the hotel room of the person who gave you the best tip at the bar were typical for you. You’re young. In Vegas. All you really crave is fun. Though, having that one person you could call day or night for a little adventure wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.

PARKER ROCHESTER A G E - Forty-Four Years Old O C C U P A T I O N - Collector, CFO of The Bohemia  F A C E C L A I M - Mahershala Ali A V A I L A B I L I T Y - Open

Parker Rochester; your family fortune never interested you. Set to inherit the business, you sold it for parts the moment you received power. It was doomed to fail and your father refused to let go. You would do anything to get ahead in life; cheat, lie, steal. Any means necessary to get what you want. It was your drive, intelligence and cunning that inspired Noah MacCallum to have you fill his empty CFO position. His business became your playground.

“let not light see my black and deep desires”  

FAMILY - Nothing but money and fake facades. You never held your family in high regards. You always felt above their silly games and masks; they thought you were going to be their saving grace. Your intelligence would revive the business. You saw them break when you sold it for parts. They assumed you’d feel guilty. It was like they didn’t know you at all.

LOVE - Mixing business and pleasure. In your years, you never felt as if you found a person who was your match. You were attracted to power. A power equal to your own. You desire a sovereign. A partner who would take your hand as you crush your competition. You don’t doubt that the person you crave exists. Perhaps you just haven’t met them yet. Or, you just haven’t seen the potential.
