( bill skarsgard | he / him | cismale ) hey, you hear iron by woodkid playing over on the 3rd floor? that’s where jack william francis lives! i heard they moved in from oxford, england exactly four months ago. they’re very charming but also pretty cataclysmic. maybe that’s why davie keeps calling them the chessmaster. starlit is full of people, but this 24 year old is really going to liven things up around here! 

WALKING GOD COMPLEX WITH HOLLOW EYES AND CHEEKBONES SHARP ENOUGH TO CUT GLASS.

a god among men. dead-eyed sociopathic devil incarnate dream boy. 

the rage of a thousand suns carefully hidden behind a facade calmer than a silent sea. he’s volcanic. when dormant, he’s no trouble at all -- perhaps a little cutting or rude, but unthreatening. when his emotions get the better of him, however, he becames a raging beast of anger. he’ll chew you up and spit you out.  like hades in hercules.

his zodiac sign is scorpio. his tarrot cards are the magician and the hanged man.

jack is a slave to instinct, almost animal, but charming when he wants to be. 

in love with the moon and the call of the void, the woods became his saviour.

incredibly well-read. spends a good deal of his free time digesting paperbacks. his room is mostly bookshelves and anthologies. a lover of shelley, keats, byron, shakespeare’s sonnets and a library of nabokov. he’s always composed, cocksure, as if his opinion is the only valid one. in his head, it is.

tw drugs high-key a coke-head. he got into coke because he has a high-paid job, and little to do with his money, considering his parents funded his college education and provided him with a trust fund. he starts to get drug withdrawal if he goes more than a few days without having a bump. he’s also partial to ecstasy.

before jack came to vegas, he was a dentist. he secretly loves the biters. when he takes people’s teeth out he often keeps them. especially the ones with fillings or impurities.

tw death / this is where it gets fucked up :)

before coming to vegas, jack fell in love with a woman because she had the most incredible teeth he’d ever seen. these teeth were so beautiful that he couldn’t rid himself of the feeling that he had to have them. one night he broke into her home, sedated the sleeping woman, and began to extract of her teeth so he could keep them. her elderly mother, a night owl, heard movement in her daughters room, and finding a young man removing her daughter’s teeth, screamed the house down. in an effort to keep her quiet jack tried to sedate her, however the mother grasped his forceps as a weapon, the two began a scuffle, and during the process the woman hit her head on the dresser and began to bleed profusely. in blind panic, he grabbed the teeth and made a run for it, leaving both the sedated woman and her bleeding mother. the woman woke up to find she was toothless, and her mother was dead on the floor.

he’s been on the run for several months now, travelling place to place with his life (and teeth) in a suitcase. as a reason for his travels, he always states that he’s a writer, and he’s travelling for the purposes of research for his novel. 

background ;

jack grew up in oxford, in a middle-class family, surrounded by the classical architecture of the university buildings. this first provoked in jack a love of ancient civilisation, art and sculpture. he sees himself as someone very well-bred.

second-born son. hector was the perfect son, charming, athletic, intelligent, attractive, head boy and twice winner of the foyle young poets award, and jack was merely the other one. growing up, he felt he was constantly living in hector’s shadow, and grew to be a bitter and resentful boy. one day, during a particularly heated row, jack threw drain cleaner in his brother’s face, leaving him with acid burn and scarring, which led to him being disowned by his family, but jack hardly cared -- he was just smitten with the fact that he was now the most attractive sibling. a few years later, they forgave him, and paid his way through college.

he first developed an affliction for fire when he started smoking. for his eleventh birthday his dad gave him a lighter with the ace of spades on and a packet of cigs. since getting that lighter, he’s been something of a pyromaniac. he liked -- more than smoking itself -- to fiddle with his lighter, swipe his fingers through the flame, tempt god. he’s something of a pyromaniac, and was convicted of several arson offences in his teenage years.

he had a criminal record before he was 15 and spent some time in juvie, so he’s already got a mugshot for when they inevitably bang him in the slammer again. hated school and formalised education but ? loved learning? despite the fact that he was an absolute entitled bastard at school, he was actually intelligent and always completed his work, and so his teachers couldn’t find a reason to suspend him. he read so much socrates and freud and he’s literally obsessed with dickens and shakespeare. will quote monologues at you with no shame. 

growing up, he was always very image-conscious, always concerned with fashion and his appearance. this is one of the factors that led him into dentistry. he wanted to study medicine at oxford university and train as a surgeon, but lacked the grades, and so went to exeter and studied dentistry.

there’s definitely a discrepancy in the way he behaved as a child and the way he holds himself now. growing up, he didn’t know how to channel his feelings, and now he can basically shut them off. whereas growing up he was often ruled by his anger, now he comes across as incredibly stoic and collected, while he bubbles away beneath. when this becomes too much to hold in, jack becomes explosive. he’s a very hot-and-cold person, he’s either callous and indifferent or fiercely defensive and ruled by his emotions.

some trivia ;

positive traits: self assured, ambitious, well-bred, charming, devoted, silver-tongued.

negative traits: manipulative, selfish, plays the martyr, primadona, egotistical, callous.

big fan of documentaries and 1920s film. 

an excellent painter and exceptional cellist. 

a lover of art, money, and beautiful, fragile things. 

turned on by danger with an appetite for destruction. 

would sell you to satan for one corn chip

wanted plots

enemies. 

people who straight up think he’s a weird guy and won’t deal with him. 

someone who he can really manipulate? because he’d use that to his advantage. 

former flings ; he doesn’t really do relationships, but is very impulsive, so ends up having multiple one night stands and flings. this could either evolve into friendship, ignoring each other, or straight up hatred depending on how ur character would react to jack’s unwillingness to become attached to anything. 

patients?? honestly that would be funny. just people who’s teeth he checks like hi ronald how are your molars doing. 

it’s jade... a g a i n. coming @ ya with a fresh new muse !! here’s some stuff about logan that you might find interesting !!

enjoys black coffee with three sugars !!

self-taught bass player, and a little bit of the drums too.

"conscious of being able to be anything, man then decides to be nothing." 

new wave, post punk, && indie music bands are his favorite.

can probably beat you at any video game.

was diagnosed with hemophilia ( a blood disorder ) when he was young. this causes him to get frequent nosebleeds and he has to be careful with minor scrapes and bruises.

is used to being right a lot of the time and it genuinely surprises him when he doesn’t know something or is proven wrong.

has generalized anxiety !!

there’s nothing more satisfying to logan than proving someone wrong though !! especially if it involves overcoming some sort of preconceived notion or stereotype that people try to fit him in.

OKAY SO

daphne grew up in an incredibly religious household in a very, very small town in utah. her father was the local preacher, and her mother was the signature preacher’s wife. she had two sisters, but there was never much warmth in the family

daphne realized pretty early on that she is deeply attracted to girls. however, coming out as a lesbian was impossible in her town, let alone her own family. it shattered her, made her believe that something was broken in her.

when she was twelve, a new girl moved to town ( poor thing ) and completely knocked daphne off her feet. it was difficult to focus around her, difficult to think. this girl was from a more progressive family, and perhaps she recognized what was repressed in daphne. they grew close throughout high school, and while daphne had to date church boys to appease her father, she only ever had eyes for her best friend

before her best friend left for college, courage got the best of her and she confessed her feelings. the two girls shared an amazing night ... only to be caught by one of daphne’s sisters the next morning, which was promptly reported to her father

with her closest companion gone, daphne was trapped in filmore with a callous family who knew her secrets now. she internalized everything once more, working on becoming a schoolteacher and perfectly content to live her life in isolation if she couldn’t be with who she really wanted 

except her father ordered her to marry one of the local boys, the song of a family friend who seemed to have similar issues as his girl. they’d be the picture perfect family, just right. daphne didn’t have the nerve to betray her father’s word, so she went through with it --- until the pivotal day came, and daphne was nowhere to be seen.

locals say they saw her climb onto the first bus boarding out of town, wedding dress and all. she had finally found her freedom, even if it meant completely being on her own

she ran and ran until she ended up in a neon-lit hotel. the owner seemed friendly, and she felt a sense of relief. probably for the first time ever.

Rain’s personality will remain the same: a mouth that would put a sailor to shame, sarcastic and witty, absolutely no filter & won’t hold back from saying whatever it is that is on their mind -- which, could often lead to them getting in trouble. 

as for their back ground, rain was born in Busan, SK to a teenage mom & a man who was definitely above her mother’s senior, a wealthy business man; who at the time, had a wife of his own with three sons who were 4, 7 and 12 when rain was born. 

that meant that Rain was the bastard child of Mr. Kwon, who did nothing to hide his affairs from his wife, who quickly filed for divorce shortly after finding out that her husband had a child with another woman, who was old enough to be his own daughter; it was a disgrace, in Mrs. Kwon’s eyes, and as much as she hated her husband for such a thing; she couldn’t hate or blame Rain. but the divorce talk was quickly brushed under the rug and put off when Rain was dropped off on their doorstep in the middle of the night, only three months old & with a note explaining that she couldn’t care for rain and that this was the only option for her. 

they took Rain in without question, and just like that, things quickly fell into place and the future would be clear in a span of four years after they took Rain in: Mr. & Mrs. Kwon didn’t work out their marital issues, nor did they hide them from the kids -- but the kids were mostly raised by two nannies, who thankfully, did their best to shelter the younger ones from the issues. things only got worse when Mrs. Kwon got pregnant with their youngest, and last child when Rain was 4 & shortly after, filed for divorce and this time it stuck. 

when Rain was 13, the Kwon’s packed up their things and moved to Portland, Oregon & ensued even more issues that would eventually shape up Rain’s future. Mrs. Kwon would leave them to move back to SK when Rain was 17 (not before explaining to Rain everything up until then, thinking that she deserved to know the truth of her origin and her birth mother; that scarred Rain immensely tbh), and by then with her older brother’s being out of the house, leaving just her and her youngest sister & with their father now working constantly and never home for more than a few days at a time, Rain basically was left taking on the parental role of her younger sister. 

Rain loves her family and siblings despite everything, especially her younger sister since there’s only a four year age gap, but it was a lot of pressure for a kid to take on? she could hardly take care of herself, let alone another human -- but it had to be done.

when Rain was 22, her little sister moved back to SK to be with her mom & now Rain was free to so whatever she wanted -- the only issues was that she didn’t know where to begin, since her life basically revolved around taking care of her sister, going to work and doing it all over again the next day; so she did the first thing she thought of, which was to get all the money she saved up (and stealing some from her father; he wouldn’t ever notice anyway), pack a bag and head out on a road trip with three of her closes friends. 

the road trip turned into a year long adventure, couch surfing, partying, getting arrested once (disorderly conduct? getting into a bar brawl?? public intoxication? idk; probably a mixture of all of that lmao), figuring out their sexuality (GAY AF) and self as a whole, because they never had the chance before then, before they eventually ended up in Las Vegas. Most of rain’s friend (lets just say there was a group of like 8 idk) had already gone their own ways; some home, some still travelling -- but Rain was exhausted and stayed in vegas, deciding if they wanted to go home, or travel more. they were getting low on money, and hotel hopping wasn’t cheap -- and that’s how, the night after their birthday party, Rain woke up in Starlit. 

as the story went from Davie, because Rain had no memory of even going into the office and booking a room herself, Rain was absolutely plastered and paid up front for two months for a room -- and, Rain couldn’t be angry at her drunk self because despite being drunk, she made a responsible-ish choice. and she’s been there for two months since, and is just living her best life -- working as bartender at night, and a freelance photographer on the side during the day, selling the pictures online for a little extra cash. 

aesthetic: ripped jeans, scuffed boots and paint stained t-shirts, fresh coffee on a cold morning, the smell of rain on the hot pavement in the middle of summer. slow sunsets and fast nights in the city, neon signs and slow sunrises on the beach. long car rides, comfortable silence, golden sunlight and warm skin, the sound of waves crashing against the shore ; sleeping easy and quick after a day out.

aesthetic (i will make a visual one that will be more than just this): black on black, ripped jeans and holes in all his clothes from cigarette burns, the smell of the tattoo shop on his clothes, ink stained skin, fresh tattoos, the flick of lighters and the sound of pens clicking, pen / pencil on paper, classical music in the back ground and muffled by chattering.

lmao don’t @ me for his name bc i totally was listening to jay park when i sent in his app & change his name last second

he was born and raised in SK until he was ten and his family moved to NY, NY,  so Jae is bilingual in korean and english. 

his mother’s a pretty well known pianist, owns her own label & works with up and coming performers & his father’s a painter, working for usually upscale clients and owning his own gallery back in NYC; so they weren’t rich, by any means, but they were living pretty comfortably without needing to ever be concerned about money. 

with his parents backstory, it wasn’t all that surprising when jae himself found a love for the various forms of art. from music, listening and playing and composing it himself, to drawing, painting, sculpting — the whole nine yards, really. he doesn’t care for the form, he loves it all. 

he was kinda a while child growing up in the city that never sleeps?? he definitely went against his parents more traditional ways, not out of spike but because he felt he was allowed to live his life as he wanted as long as he respected their ways?? which he did!! so his parents were definitely annoyed with his differences, but they weren’t ever mean about it. except the few times he was brought home by the police and/or, coming home late & smelling like weed, alochol and nicotine; then they were outright annoyed and put him in his place. 

thankfully jae’s a good boy & was raised well with a good head on his shoulder, because he managed to excelle in school, graduated and was accepted into his first choice of universities -- where he would go for art school, until he realized college wasn’t for him and he dropped out. 

at the time he dropped out, he was a apprentice at a tattoo shop, because besides art, his second love is tattoos and better yet, bodies?? like body art?? sign him the hell up!!

it’s worth mentioning, he was 21 when he dropped out and by then he already had a sleeve of tattoos on his right arm & 10 small / medium tattoos scattered about his body (i will make a page with his tattoo details) that he started to get at the age of 17.

he eventually got his license before he moved out to Vegas with his best friend.

to keep it short and clean, basically his friend was a bitch and while jae was at work one night, stole all of his money he had saved up, sold his extra tattoo equipment (that shit ain’t cheap) and changed all the locks on the house so jae couldn’t get in when he got off. 

jae was basically given the shit end of the stick??? he was angry, SO angry, and more hurt than anything because he literally had nothing?? 

that’s when he met davie, who jae swears is a secret angel or some shit, and the guy basically saved jae’s ass?? if it weren’t for the man, the myth, the legend, jae would be on the streets and so lost. 

IK IT’S STATED ON HIS APP THING, BUT HE’S BEEN HERE FOR A YEAR SO GIVE ME ALL OF THE CONNECTIONS / PLOTS. 

personality wise, jae is just.. everything?? he’s really laid back, go with the flow kinda guy, loves a good party, always down to go on a drive and jam to some music, will happily give you a tattoo / piercing for a small fee (if he really likes you, maybe even free); sometimes talks to himself in korean and ins’t ashamed to tell you he knows all the lyrics to the latest girl groups song. 

( moon gayoung | she/her | cisfemale ) hey, you hear grows old by thirdstory playing over on the 1st floor? that’s where veronica seo lives! i heard they moved in from santa clara, california exactly 6 months ago. they’re very ambitious but also pretty blunt. maybe that’s why davie keeps calling them the wiseacre. starlit is full of people, but this 21 year old is really going to liven things up around here! 

aesthetics: an empty cup of coffee, freshly painted nails, neat ponytails, bookmarked pages, matte lipstick, knee high socks, ignoring text messages, sour gummy worms torn in half, cuffed jeans, red wine, arms folded across the chest

history:

veronica was that girl in school that knew she was smart and made sure everyone around her knew it as well.

a lot of people didn’t really like her because they perceived her as a show-off, which she totally was, but she’s aight once you get past her whole superiority complex.

her parents are lowkey highkey overprotective as heck and pressured her to do better than her classmates and she just grew up conditioned to be super competitive because she was kind of scared of her parents and therefore scared of failing them.

she majored in statistics in college and ended up finishing in three years with plans to go into data analysis (she’s really good with numbers).

a few months out of college she got offered a position with a startup company in nevada that she had interned for remotely in the past.

she moved out of her parents’ house and made the trip to nevada, where she ended up living with a friend she knew in the area who let her stay until she got settled into her new job and found a place to live.

however, the startup began to experience major losses and had to let go of employees, including veronica, before dissolving the company completely. she had only been working there for a month.

veronica wasn’t ready to return home, wasn’t ready to break the news to her parents, so she and her friend took a trip to las vegas to take her mind off of her impending doom. her friend went back home after a couple of days, but veronica remained.

she’s been at starlit for the past six months, her parents still believing that she’s working that data analyst job. she’s trying to get back on her feet and find an open position of a similar caliber, but in the meantime, she’s working at a cafe and also getting paid to tutor people over skype.
