( cindy kimberly, female, she/her ) ↷ hey, that’s NINA CABRERAwho’s originally from AMSTERDAM. i heard they’re NINETEEN and have been working on the ship as ISLAND CINEMA STAFF for ONE YEAR AND SIX MONTHS other passengers seem to say they’re ASSERTIVE and INDECISIVE, but are also known to be COMPASSIONATE and ENTHUSIASTIC. when they’re missing home, i heard A HEART-SHAPED LOCKET, OVERSIZED SWEATERS & VASES FILLED OF FLOWERS can always cheer them up. ↷ ( brynn, she/her, 18+, est. ) 

nina was born in amsterdam ( okay so i’m not original at all, sorry ) while her family was on visiting other relatives. because of complications that occured during child birth, her mother wasn’t able to fly home for a while which resulted in her family remaining in amsterdam for nearly a year after her birth ( her mother was clear after a few weeks but her family was hella convincing. )

after returning to the united states ( seattle, washington ) that was when her life truly began. nina was the youngest of three, having one elder brother and sister, she had a lot of protectors growing up. her sister was only two years older than she so they pretty much spent every waking moment together, including classes in high school. and while they had different interests, one gave up art class for science, and one gave up math for physical education.

growing up, her parents were extremely religious. not to the point where she couldn’t wear dressed above her knees but they expected so much out of her. no swear words, keep up with your reading, make sure you pray, go to church. the more they pushed her into church and god, the more than young child wanted to rebel but she knew they were doing what was best for her and by fifteen she was leading her youth church and even pushed to have designated days outside of church days to meet up.

graduating high school a year early, nina decided to join the ship as a way of exploring and learning more about places outside of washington. she joined originally as an activity director but that turned out to be boring and not what she wanted so she bounced around with jobs before landing the one with the cinema, which she happens to actually enjoy !

she used to love going to the arcade on deck four but after an incident with a guest, it isn’t much fun to her although she does still go from time to time. 

she keeps a journal in her room to write about her days so that when she finally returns home she can tell her family all about her trip.

most nights, a few hours before she sleeps, she listens to music to soothe her.

she likes the spa they have aboard but doesn’t often get to go.

( halston sage, cisfemale, she/her) ↷ hey, that’s SOFIA ANDREWS who’s originally from NEWCASTLE, ENGLAND. i heard they’re TWENTY THREE and have been working on the ship as a PERSONAL TRAINER AT BARRACUDA for TWO YEARS. other passengers seem to say they’re BLUNT and IMPULSIVE, but are also known to be THOUGHTFUL and HONEST. when they’re missing home, i heard HER MOTHER'S WEDDING RING can always cheer them up. ↷ ( lucy, she/her, 22, gmt. )

sofia was twelve when her parent’s divorced and her father left their family home to start a new life. she used to think her family was perfect and nothing could ever go wrong, but she quickly learned that nothing is ever as it seems. things may look perfect from the outside, but being inside of a relationship or a family can be so very different.

she’s sixteen by the time her mother remarries and brings a new child into the world. she hasn’t heard from her father since the day he left and she can barely even remember what his voice sounds like anymore. the days of watching old home videos is long gone and she can’t help but wish for something more. something better than the life she leads. 

her first boyfriend at the age of seventeen and he’s the most perfect guy in the world. to everybody else. this is where sofia really finds out how imperfect things can be on the inside. the first time he shouts at her and her heart races, fingers trembling as she chokes back tears and apologises for something she didn’t even do. by now, she has two younger sisters and a brother on the way. her mother tells her what a good role model she is for her siblings, how smart she is and how beautiful and caring she can be. it’s what attracted jonathan to her and she can’t help but feel bitter for her looks and her brains. 

by nineteen, jonathan is still a huge part of her life, though her step-father has begun to notice the looks and the marks sofia has desperately tried to hide. she’s helping her mother in the kitchen and helping contain the children as they tire themselves out after dinner when she hears the voices raise and she feels like she’s drowning. the words ‘abuse’ and ‘scumbag’ ring clear and true in her mind and she can’t bring herself to move. her mother stays by her side, true in the belief that her husband can fix this and make everything better for her. 

days later, she visits her step-father in hospital, the bruises big and dark along his tanned skin. she knows that jonathan looks a lot worse, but he’s the last thing on her mind now. the best father she had ever known had near enough gotten himself killed for her. and it’s then that she knows not all men will let her down. she’s still not their biggest fan and could do without them, but she at least has proof that there is good in people. 

days before her twentieth birthday, she receives the confirmation of her employment on the seascape horizon. her mother is less than impressed, so desperately wants her to use her brains for better things, take herself to university and do a degree. but training had been the only thing that had pulled her through all the rough times and she wants to do something with that. she wants to see the world and meet new people. and her mother reluctantly agrees, her siblings hugging her and clinging to her and begging her to take them with her. 

the newest chapter of her life begins the moment she steps foot on the seascape horizon and it must be for the better. it must be better than every other chapter she has been through thus far. two years have passed and sofia genuinely could not be happier. she enjoys her job, she enjoys the company, she enjoys the passengers. there is nothing she does not enjoy about her time at sea. she is happy and content and a video call to her mother twice a week is enough to keep them satisfied long enough for them to discuss being able to see one another. 

reign is From Money. his dad’s family has owned hotels all over the world ( think hilton ) for over 30 years. however, his dad decided to go into politics and that’s how he met reigns mom. his mom is from a more modest upbringing. she’s from south korea, grew up lower middle class and when she was 19 she applied to get a student visa to america where she studied politics. that’s where she met reign’s dad and they quickly fell in love. but after school she went back to korea because well… she had to.

HOWEVER at just 23 she found out she was pregnant and was still in contact with reigns dad. long story short. ya boy reign was born in korea bc his mom is stubborn and wasn’t going to be a white man’s trophy wife. it literally took until reign was almost 14 for his mom to agree to move to america and apply for citizenship and marry his dad. ( also because she was leading the charge, speaking out against the north korean government )

reign’s upbringing in korea was mixed. he was living with his mom and grandparents in a low income area but there was also enough money for him to always have nice clothes and food. once he realized what his mom was doing and what she was speaking out against, he was like BOI ( he was like 10 )

he lived in america for 2 months every year until he moved to FL when he was 13. his dad was always apart of his life and was in korea every other month.

he didn’t care much about coming to america, he enjoyed it tbh. he felt like his mom was safe.

he has a little sister. she’s 21 and probably not playable but im still not sure yEt

ASIDE FROM HIS AMAZING FAMILY reign is a giant douche

DRUG TW: he has a Big drug problem.he was in rehab for about a month before coming on the boat 2 years ago. his parents thought it would be better than rehab. but boy were they Wrong

BACKGROUND.

meet my lil guitar playin long haired babe , fox !! his name is actually foxworth charles dayton, however he hopes that name dies ( he was named after his grandfather ) and will literally punch someone for calling him foxworth. so it’s just FOX.

fox grew up in england to a rich , snooty family. the daytons are highly known in england , very wealthy , and complete snobs. although he was very well off as a kid and could have pretty much anything he wanted, fox wanted to be more than a last name and fancy credit cards.

the only family member he likes is his older brother.

he had an interest in music from the very beginning and through his parents humored it, they never saw their son having a musical career & were never going to approve of it.

basically a trust fund baby that never needed to work but fox always picked up little gigs here and there. he looooves his profession and wasn’t going to give it up , so he risked his parents disappointment to go after music.

he wasn’t that successful in england due to his parents interfering, so he started to look for ways to leave home.

his parents are Not happy about this and they haven’t spoken in two years but due to the influence of his brother & them wanting to make sure he’s okay ( ie. not dead somewhere bc they have a Reputation ) , fox is Loaded so hit ur boy up for some drinks at different ports

he does sets at the show lounge as often as possible and really enjoys it.

he’s got a lowkey shawn mendes kinda vibe with his music . soft & acoustic and romantic. 

he never really got the chance to be a normal kid but he never talks about it or mentions it bc he knows he was lucky to have grown up the way he did, even if it didn’t go perfectly.

PERSONALITY.

fox was a super happy boy growing up until he started to feel held back by his family. he keeps his personal life VERY private and doesn’t really talk about who his family is or anything like that.

he doesn’t really .. have a path in life or know where he’s going after the horizon. there’s some workers who are getting older and hes thinking about just doing it until he can’t anymore because he just …. doesn’t know where his life is going

has a very romantic soul but is TERRIBLe at romance. someone tries to say something sweet and romantic and hes like ‘cool have u seen this picture of spongebob?’

he’s not against romance he’s just never had anything work out for him but he has a Very romantic soul and will love someone Very hard one day

and tf he’s terrible with expressing himself and sharing about himself so it doesn’t really work

PAGES.

wanted connections

wanted tag

- i’m a sophomore in college who can’t i write coherent sentences but YALLL THIS BACKSTORY IS...it’s FUEGOOO!!

- if you met jordyn, alayna is the complete opposite(ish). she’s girly, she’s prissy, v v high maintenance and has never had to work for anything a day in her life.

- also her real name isn’t alayna....*suspensful music* 

- alayna was born and raised in san diego. mommy is a pediatric surgeon, daddy is a ceo of a nationally-recogonized company. she has a older sister (3 years difference) and her teacup goldendoodle, bubbles. bc she was the baby she was handed shit, didn’t really work for much except the ocassional tantrums and eye-lash batting.

- if you didn’t pick it up yet, she’s rich. i mean “drives a rose gold benz, has her own master bed and walk in closet, wipes her tears with $100 bills” rich. money has never been a object to her basically

- she’s a natural born leader. she knows what she wants and she goes for it. or she has daddy go for it bc again...never worked for anything

- she’s never faced any serious hardships (a broken nail, maybe) in her life so doesn’t know what it’s like to lose someone or something. 

- super flirt. sUUPPER flirt. and it’s never unintentional. she knows wtf she’s doing.

- self absored, doesn’t really value or care for others opinions, oHH DRAMA QUEEN! she is EXTRAAA! the most minor inconvenience will send her into a fucking RAMAGE.

- v sociable. loves to be the center of attention, loves having people talking to her ABOUT her :)

- she graduated top 10 of her class from la jolla country day school (she smartt). she wasn’t particularly fond of going to college so.. she didn’t! i mean, she had really need to considering she’d be swimming in money till she died.

- you’re probably wondering...”if she has money, why tf is she working on a cruise ship” SO I EXPLAIN! one day alayna came home from school and found an envolope taped to her front door. it was addressed to her and basically had some cryptic creepy shit and some very personal pictures of her. the note basically said that i know your every move, i’m always watching you, blah blah blah, if you tell anyone..bad things happen.

- obviously she was freaked but couldn’t tell anyone about it, so she kinda lived with it. every now and then she’d get texts from an unknown number and she would be forced to do stuff and send things to the number...it was messy

- she finally made the decision to try and hide. run away to someplace she would never imagine her stalker would find her. her parents and friends think she’s traveling the world and exploring which isn’t a complete lie...it’s just that she’s working while doing so. 

- after some minor physical changes and a brand new alias, her she lies as horizon’s yoga instructor yaaay. once she boarded, the calls and messages stopped.

- she’s v fearful that her stalker has little henchmen looking for her so...she’ll never let you know of her real name unless she trusts you. and she doesn’t trust a lot of people so....yep.

i’ll try and keep it short on his background,

he was born & raised in bergen, norway, & lived on a farm that his family owned & worked on (i also mean like Big Family with grandparents, cousins, etc they’re all tight /all live closeby/ & it’d always be loud and full of music)

he’s the second eldest out of four children, an older brother & two younger sisters

growing up so close to nature, he loved to get down & dirty - he enjoyed road tripping with friends and families but never really had the chance to travel outside of norway

in general an overall good intentioned guy, charismatic & would get along with most people, he would rather let things go than starting a fight - basically a nonchalant kind of attitude

thinks his issue is really that he has no sense of who he is & thinks of himself only as a background character even in his own life 

as hard as it was to leave his family behind, he felt it was the right choice at this point in his life to join the cruise as a chance to find himself /like the disney princess he is/ 

seeing that traveling was something he loved, he felt better being able to earn it by working on the cruise (rather than just being a guest) 

he’s just super excited to meet so !!! many !!! new !!! people !!!

aspen is from a city in nebraska. her parents are both work in insurance, so she grew up in a high middle class family.
