#dczed:intro

hi hello there ! i’m sj and this is my g penina - nina to the regular folk of the world !

nina is a waitress at dorothy’s diner - she worked there part-time the whole way through high school and it just morphed into her full-time job once she had that degree in hand.

higher education literally never even crossed her mind - nina is someone who’s very caught up in the every day details of trying to get by, and honestly doesn’t really feel like she even has time to sit around crafting grand dreams for what her future might be like, because the future is vulnerable, and she doesn’t want her heart getting caught up in something that’s never actually going to happen anyway. 

so in other words penina is a huuuuge pessimist. prepare for the worst and hope for the mediocre kinda gal. 

that doesn’t mean she can’t support other people’s dreams, but she’s not the best person to come to if you want a smile and agree type of answer. she doesn’t fluff the truth, even if it might spare someone’s feelings to embellish a little. she won’t be brutal, but she will be brutally honest. 

she loves to sing - and it’s not that she’s some fantastic hidden superstar, she just loves music in general. learned to play piano on her grandma’s upright and never looked back. if you happen to stroll into the diner when its otherwise empty, you will definitely hear faint humming emanating from some corner. 

it’s just nina and her dad at home, who raised her on his own after her mom took off when she was two - and she always maintains it wasn’t all that traumatic for her given that at two, she barely even knew who the woman was. the person she’s closest to in the whole entire world is her dad - ride or die, and a complete daddy’s girl. 

she knows that her mom is somewhere in new orleans, but she has literally no interest in making any contact with her beyond the birthday card she receives every year. she knows her dad wouldn’t object to her finding out more about her mom, but she also feels like that would be something of a betrayal - to seek out someone who left him in the lurch like that. 

honestly she’s just - very reserved, very guarded, has never actually had someone be interested enough to make her open up so she just... never has?? 

let’s talk abt my bby , viggo !

lmao . hes like .. my third male character .. in the history of rping ,,  but i had so much muse . i had to . ok 

arthur vigo arsenson is a new comer ! prior , he was @ sanfran , livin his sweet life with his wife .

about the wife ,, solana was a widower & quite older than viggo . but it didn’t stop them from tying the knot lmao .

solana just inherited a fat ass bank account from her late husband , not to mention she owned her own company ~~ a publishing firm , having magazines like vogue & elle ( ? not sure if they were around in 70′s , but you get my point ) under it’s umbrella . 

they met @ a gala and married 4 months later . u could say ,,,  he blew her mind away wink wonk

flash forward to this day , solana passed away , v unexpectedly , i may add .

marrying a young column writer , giving him the coo position .. then dying ? wow . media was all over viggo , claiming he was the male version of a a “ black widow ” . 

not to mention , he was also labelled as the gold digger .

abt the juiciest part . lmaooooo he’s a fake . fake to the core . a conman .

growing up in the slums with deadbeat father , who was a retired magician , viggo learned to .. adapt from an early age . he would beg for money , cry on cue to look cute . if money didn’t come willingly , hoe would .. steal .. lol

he is handsome as fuck , and dude knows it . he spent his life , luring older women into lit being his sugar mamas . but he did it so well .. like , no one questioned him . at one point , he stopped questioning himself as well . now .. that’s tragic .

he picked arthur as his name because it felt .. more sophisticated than viggo , y’know ?? he would observe his victims , and shape his personality according to their needs . 

solana was an ... exception , for real . he really liked her . ngl , she was the smartest and most .. supportive one out of her prior lady friends . 

he .. felt like .. he could be himself . for the first time , tbh . that’s why he was so freaking scared of solana figuring his play out . 

she was the first one he truly wanted to marry . not because she would be able to make his biggest dream , being a rich ass writer , come true . she was  .. sweet . sigh

about his personality .

viggo is a pretty fickle man . one minute he’s havin the best day of his life , or acting so , the next he’s grumping harder than the grumpy cat .

he’s v positive , fun loving , generally a happy-go-lucky type of dude ?? 

he flirts a lot . flirty to the core . wife died a year ago ?? no worries . thats his way of .. dealing with  grief lmao

may come across as a jerk because doesn’t seem to take anything seriously . don’t come to him with important details abt ur life , he gonna be like “ ok u have two choice : i can either start mockin u right away ,, or just run away bc  . no capacity for humane feelings . gtg ”

  ✽ remi was born and partially raised in Venice beach, California her mom is originally from there and her dad moved to California attempting to live out the american business man dream that his father instilled into him but he is originally from ellis.

  ✽ her family picked up and moved back to ellis when she was about 12 years old, which she wasn’t happy about, but she was understanding because they moved due to the fact that her dad’s father got sick and could no longer run their small family truck driving business that he moved to California to expand in the first place.

  ✽ due to her father owning a business her family was pretty well off, but between the ages of 12-16 she was extremely embarrassed of this and never really claimed wealth and acted out with the “outcast” at school. i mean come on she was entering her preteen years in a new state and didn’t want to come off as a snob and her immature mind thought that this was the only way, so she got sucked into the party/rebel culture.

  ✽ although her parents were both pretty loving, her dad was always ripping and roaring so she was for sure closer to her mom.

  ✽ she also didn’t grow up around a lot of anger/fighting. her parents loved one another and that’s where she believes her small hidden hopeless romantic attitude stems from. she was raised in love. if her parents had any troubles, she definitely didn't know about it and still to this day doesn’t.

  ✽ she’s always considered herself a free spirit. as lame as it is, she for sure fits into the stereotypical groovy pothead type.

  ✽ as stated before, in high school she was a part of the outcast/rebels. she was popular to a certain extinct but for all of the wrong reasons. she was a super party girl and didn't do the best in school, mainly because she just didn’t care about it. why? because the people she hung around didn’t. but she is a super smart girl when she tries.

✽ her partying definitely did come to a halt for a bit in her junior year of high school, she went to a party with her usual group but met some guy from another school she was clearly smitten by him and felt an instant “trust” in him, he talked her in to taking a pill that he swore would hype up her night and her friends all seemed to be cool with the guy so she took it and ended up blacking out, she woke up the next morning with a sore pelvis and no pants on. this scared the hell out of her and caused her to take a small break, but with her being the follower she is, she fell back into the scene quickly. she never told her parents or friends about this encounter.

 ✽ her parents never approved of her friends simply because they thought they were really bad influences but they also feared conflict with their daughter so they would urge her to hang around her dad’s co worker’s daughters and sons but that just wasn’t her kind of people so those friendships always ended roughly and it reminded her why she hid that section of her life from people, she never wanted to end up like the rich kids her dad wanted her to hang around.

  ✽ she does have a slight drinking problem and she adores weed. her habits aren’t out of control, but it’s for sure a problem. she disguises it as just having fun but theres something deeper. yes she grew up in a great household but that does not equal happiness, especially with the personal situation she went through, she never fully recovered, sought out help or talked to anyone about it so she does have PTSD, though she doesn't know this because she’s completely ignorant when it comes to mental illnesses (lets not forget we r in the 70s because this was all written out so different then I realized how quickly what I was writing did not work bc the anti therapy era was 60s-70s (-: ), that’s why she doesn't understand why she acts the way she does or why she freaks out sometimes at parties and has to leave or take a moment to herself. She still parties but never leaves the side of someone she knows or finds a buddy for the night quick.

  ✽ she’s OBSEsSed with music! it’s what she lives for. name a band or singer you listen to and she’ll know almost every fact about them. she has a lot of self taught hidden musical talents. that's also why she works as a record organizer, she just wants to be surrounded by music at all times.

  ✽ she hates school but she went to college for one year to please her dad and then decided against it and decided to drop out. her dad was not at all happy about that, but her mom always enforced that she needed to be herself and do what makes her happy. (mainly bc her mom was LITERALLY just like her around this age and ended up just fine so she has a biased mindset).

  ✽ she’s such an impressionable girl, had she not been approached by the outcast first she probably would have been a part of a different crowd in high school, but she doesn’t have much of mind of her own. though she can influence people easily, she’s also easily influenced.

  ✽ she is such an extrovert.

  ✽ although she’s a lowkey hopeless romantic she finds a thrill in quick and easy hook ups. this also stems from her party culture.

  ✽ her real life of being well off and a product of a loving two parent home, is a huge secret even in to her current adult years because she doesn’t want people to question why she is the way that she is if she has what most would consider “it all”.

  oOkay, so that was clearly all insanity and probably seems like a big ball of mess. but i swear it adds up guys and gals. HAHA. I'll have a proper bio made for her soon and her page will actually be in some kind of order soon enough. she’s basically the definition of 70s stone cold fox. that’s rly all. she’s a mess. i’m a mess, we relate. whatever.
