JEFFREY DEAN MORGAN, CIS MALE, HE/HIM — Have you seen MICHAEL KINGSLEY around Aspen Creek? He is a 51 year-old P.E. TEACHER and has lived on the SOUTH SIDE for 51 YEARS. He is a GEMINI, so they can be CHARISMATIC, but also SELFISH. I heard that they HAVE BEEN CHEATING ON HIS WIFE, but that could just be a rumor started by the hacker.

such an asshole i can’t even 

an absolute dumbass

also a dork. 

and also really caring

i would say he is trying his best, but he really isn’t

would coach every kids sports team ever because he just .. loves to watch kids learning to love sports and winning and getting excited about the thing he loves

just loves kids okay? all kids of all ages. from 0-18 years old. might not be the greatest influence aka would probably buy teenagers beer in the interest of looking like the Cool Uncle but ya know, like i said, a dumbass

he thinks he is funny which spoiler alert he isn’t 

he also thinks he is tough which spoiler alert he absolute isn’t either

so much self confidence 

lowkey loves romcoms but shh it’s a secret for some reason

loves baseball more than he loves himself which let me tell you, it is a Lot

really likes dangerous things and things that are outright wrong because of the thrill of sneaking around and not getting caught

it’s good the 80s have been making a comeback because his concept of what is cool was created in the late 70s/early 80s and it just stayed there. it’s honestly a surprise he doesn’t go around combing his quiff grease style

introduces himself by his nickname because his name/Mr. Holloway makes him feel old

cares for people as long as it doesn’t clash with the things he wants for himself. when it does he just … quietly ignores it and goes around doing whatever is best for him regardless of either or not it hurts/hurts the feeling of people around him

this dude is so self destructive honestly it’s a surprise he has any friends at all. he can’t deal with good stuff in his life so he just goes around making friends and then pushing them away when they get too close/he gets angry/he gets sad.

‘dealing with feelings ?? nah. better to alienate everyone from your life and channel every mildly uncomfortable feeling into unhealthy habits. long term happiness is a sham, look for temporary fulfillment’

aesthetics — baseball games in the middle of a sunday afternoon, reading glasses forgotten in a drawer at home for the fifth time, loud rock music playing through the speakers of an old car, staying out until late, forgetting what matters to you, leather jackets and black combat boots, trailing drunk kisses down her neck, feeling lonely even when you are surrounded by people who love you, 

                                                                                         p o s s i b l e   c o n n e c t i o n s

his wife — pls i’ll die for it. it’s in the wanted connection page and i just,,, i need,,,, this level angst ,,, 

the person he’s cheating his wife with — it could be a guy or girl or a non-binary pal. he’s been lowkey cheating on his wife to push her away, but i also think he really likes them/cares for them. they could be with him for their own selfish reasons as well or they could falling for him. i just want to explore it and see where it goes ?? there are so many possibilities here.

one night stand — maybe they are co-workers or they play baseball together every sunday or he coacher their kid sports team ?? they ended up getting drunk one day and oops a one night stand and now they gotta keep seeing each other ?? it could be awkward, it could be angst-y, it could be funny. he could be constantly teasing them about it or he could be too afraid to be bring up so they don’t tell his wife about it. honestly ? i live for this type of shit.

a former friend he has wronged — they could have been best of friends and then at some point your character said ‘mike pls don’t do x thing’ and then surprise, surprise, michael did x thing. hurt ? betrayal ? angst ? hate ? michael being an even bigger dumbass and trying to pretend nothing happened in order to try and bring them back into his life instead of apologizing ? pls

unlikely friendship — michael is really super nice to everyone at first ? maybe they are like this really quiet bookworms or just super responsible focused person. he could be a bad influence on them, they could be a good influence on him? i’m open to anything honestly

I’ll explain Arlo really briefly here, but if you want to know a bit more about his situation, mostly secret wise, please go to the intro which is linked on his page.

Okay! 

Arlo’s from a wealthy family, he’s never really experienced ‘real life’. He’s incredibly sheltered and a little too trusting because of that. 

He doesn’t really have any close friends. Everyone at his job hates him and he isn’t comfortable going out to socialise. 

He has his own apartment that his parents gave to him. However, he lives very close to his parents and since he works for them, they’re still very much in his life. Whilst he isn’t super close to them emotionally, he’s very submissive to them.

Wanted:

Ultimately, I’d love for Arlo to have a love interest, however, they’d have to be really secretive as he’s not out to anyone other than his colleagues and that was by force.

I think it would be fun for him to have a close female friend that is comfortable pretending to date him to keep his parents satisfied. There could be a whole drama thing there where she actually falls for him or not, I really don’t mind. 

I’d also like him to have a friend that isn’t the best influence. I think he needs a bit more experience on being alive, lol. 

H E A D C A N O N S

Born and raised in Boston. Upper-middle-class family. Father was a doctor, and his mother was a city councilwoman. He has 3 brothers and a sister.

Bi, with a strong preference for men.

Joined the Army at 17, became a Ranger at 22. Stationed in Fort Lewis-McChord in Washington. Specialized in Counter Intelligence.

Studied Criminal Law at the University of Washington in between deployments but never completed his JD in law.

At 29, he was medically discharged shortly after having lost his right leg just below the knee in combat. He was approved to return to service or as a reserve upon completion of physical therapy. 

Unable to cope with Fred’s PTSD, his partner left him and brought their two kids to Aspen Creek. Fred followed and transferred to the local police department. After getting some help, Fred managed to get joint custody of their kids.

He takes Xanax and still occasionally goes to therapy. He still has flashbacks and nightmares but not nearly as often or as easily triggered as they once were.

He is technically still in the Army as an Army Reserve. He trains on the nearest base once a month as required, and spends two weeks out of the year doing specialized training out of state.

He makes roughly $60k a year as a detective, that combined with his Army Reserve pay ($12k) he makes about $72k a year. He lives in a small two bedroom apartment on the north side.

C O N N E C T I O N S

I’ll add more later...

The Ex: (m/f) This character would be 35+ and either a lawyer, nurse, doctor, professor, or ex-military. They have a dominant personality. They likely love a challenge. They’re fiercely independent and rarely back down in a fight. They make the rules and expects them to be followed. They would have pursued him. (preferred fcs: Alexandra Breckenridge, Aubrey Plaza, Felicity Jones, Dichen Lachman, Emily Blunt, Eva Green, Evan Rachel Wood, Elodie Yung, Nicole Beharie, Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron, Jennifer Connelly, Ed Skrein, Jason Momoa, Jamie Dornan, James McAvoy, Richard Armitage, Idris Elba, Ricky Whittle, Sam Heughan, Keanu Reeves, Jude Law, Jon Hamm, Liev Schreiber)

Siblings: Maybe they’re going through a divorce, or some life-changing event, maybe they’re just here visiting. (suggested fcs: Luke and Liam Hemsworth, Chris Pine, Brad Pitt, Charlize Theron, Amy Adams, Naomi Watts, Alice Eve, Ali Larter, Rachel McAdams.)

Former Flames: Shortly lived relationships.

Love interest: This could be an on again off again relationship. He prefers individuals with strong personalities, people who try to take charge of the relationship. Most problems in the relationship likely stem from the fact that he’s still in love with his ex, other problems could be his PTSD.

S E C R E T

TW: mentions of child abuse, murder, kidnappings, and torture.

Deployed in Afghanistan. Frederick’s unit discovered a number of individuals within the Afghan Security Forces and informants were participating in Bacha bazi (systemic kidnapping, enslavement, and prostitution of young boys). His unit was ordered not to intervene. Frustrated with the fact that they were arming and training pedophiles to take over areas freed from the Taliban, Frederick and two other rangers took matters into their own hands, torturing and executing everyone involved in the practice.
