biography

priyasha barman had known wealth her entire life. both her parents had come from affluent families, their marriage practically being planned from the moment they were born. her mother’s side were purely business, with an oil company that had been passed down for generations. her father’s side had been involved in politics, rising through the ranks with each generation. since priya was 13, her father has been the long-time, bipartisan us ambassador to bangladesh.

priya hadn’t had the same drive as her parents did, she was a much more creative spirit growing up. her wealth had given her access to doing whatever she want, but truly, the only thing she’d been interested in was fashion. first it began with magazines, constantly staying up to date with the latest fashions. but then she began designing her own clothes, wearing them to event functions and dinner parties hosted by her parents, telling everyone that she was wearing a priya barman original. after high school, priya went on to attend parsons for fashion. with her combined wealth and credibility in fashion, priya had no problem getting her name to be heard, and to have other celebrities wear her designs. while her first few collections were all collaborations with other high end designer brands, priya launched her own company a year ago: BARMAN.

the barman name became one that was known in practically any industry, a status symbol that was one of a kind. priya’s company was highly anticipated, which is why it’s continued to do so well. she’d worked her way into fashion week’s across the world: new york, paris, milan, etc. her brand focused on creating two distinct collections every season, one that was higher end, showcased on runways, and another that make fashion accessible to all with its lower price range.

headcanons

priya is very like … unsuspecting. she definitely appears very kind and sweet to most people and definitely to all of her fans, but there are times when she can be vicious and manipulative

super bad at relationships, has had one long term relationship in her life (wc) but other than that, she kind of goes through people left and right

a little sneaky?? sometimes she’ll lie about what she’s doing for absolutely no reason

she comes off as very friendly and welcoming, but she truly doesn’t get close to that many people. no particular reason why

never wears the same piece of clothing twice, is constantly wearing her own designs but won’t mention it until you ask (and then she literally will not shut the fuck up so please don’t ask)

wanted connections

can’t get you out of my mind: so priya has an ex-boyfriend that she really just can’t forget about. the details on why they broke up can be plotted out but basically. priya is still hung up on him even tho she’s been with other people

ride or die: her platonic soulmate <3 the person she literally tells everything too like if one of them gets into some shit they’ve always got each others back

an almost brother: priya’s an only child so like i’d love for her to have a guy friend that’s strictly platonic (or at least on her side) but they’re very close with each other and she finds it easy to confide in him

someone who sees through her: someone that sees through her act and can tell that she’s not quite as nice as she makes everyone think

exes: obviously nothing as serious as her most recent ex, but could’ve ended on good or bad terms !!

BASICS.

༉‧₊˚✧ kim taehyung , cis man , he / him / his — did you see that nicholas “nico” yoon was trending last night ? the twenty three year old street artist has been getting a lot of press lately . i think it’s due to them being so + quixotic & + free-spirited , but i always thought they seemed - withdrawn & - sybaritic . their fans always say they remind them of soft smoke rings spun in a dreamy haze , silver-ringed fingers rapping against polished oak , and waning light refracting against broken glass though . i wonder if they’ve found out about REDACTED yet … i guess we’ll have to wait and see . [ rox , 22 , pst , she / her , none ]

PINTEREST & PLAYLIST .

01 and 02 .

PERSONALITY .

at first glance , nico reads as this aloof , arrogant type that doesn’t like to associate w the common public . always keeping the majority of people at a comfortable distance , nico moves almost exclusively within his own social network , and doesn’t like to deviate from what he knows best .  

not so much pretentious as he is lazy , making an effort to socialize with complete strangers is simply something that nico would never do . hehe ... he’s kind of shy like that .... ♡ though he’d literally never admit it ♡

despite giving the impression that he’s some intimidating and chronically indifferent kind of guy , nico is genuinely a sweet boy — ‏‏‎ one who’s in a constant state of confusion as to why people seem to be so scared of him . it always comes as a shock when close friends of his admit that they thought he absolutely hated their guts when they first met him .

b/c tho he’s p smart , nico is very oblivious at times , and he’s 100% the kind of guy who’ll walk away from a conversation thinking he did a rly rly good job trying to make a friend ... when in reality he prob said four words in the span of thirty minutes smh .

overall , nico’s a private person , especially with what he’s thinking ... and it’s really hard to get a clear read on what’s on his mind . sharing his feelings has never been one of nico’s interests b/c he just genuinely doesn’t think whatever he has to say is rly worth mentioning . so he usually just shuts da fuck up n lets other ppl talk so he can mentally gain the strength to continue socializing .

push nico’s buttons enough tho ‘n you’ll catch this mf speaking in full sentences .

lastly , it should b noted that nico is a romantic through n through ... this mf probably d*ed in the victorian era ‘n got reincarnated b/c he’s got that ‘ lets share furtive glances across the room but never say a thing to each other  ‘ thing on lock . mr. darcy headass

and while nico might play the role of long-suffering , ever pining lover to a T , he’s more in love w / the idea of love than he is w / any single person . and he literally cannot hold down a relationship w/o fucking it up for himself in some shape or form .

kind of sarcastic ... v much the teasing type .... 

can b very impulsive at times , loves to go on solo adventures at night , prefers his own company tbh ...

overview : melancholic , reticent , noncommittal , humble , mild-mannered , romantic .

a mix of : josh from clueless and j.d. from heathers

MORE AESTHETICS.

the chill of silver jewelry against flushed skin , forgotten graffiti on porcelain sinks , flickering motel lights , kisses sticky with vodka , eyes ringed with lavender , sleepless nights surrendered to the dull buzz of television , obscure art house films , sun-kissed cheeks , the surprise of summer rain , chest aching with lost loves , scattered baby’s breath and rosemary , and a shared smile between perfect strangers .

CHARACTER DISSERTATION.

nico was born on a brisk wintry morning in the fashion district of los angeles ( january 21st , 1997 ) to a family of six .

as the second youngest child , and the only male son to boot , nico grew up with his only inheritance being a generational kind of hunger , one that demanded for more than what his struggling parents could offer

the arts stole nico at an early age ... ushering him into a world of creation and freedom beyond the four bleak walls he daily occupied . from spending lonely summers tucked away in some forgotten corner in the library to practicing on a borrowed violin from dawn to dusk , nico knew that even with nothing at his disposal , there was always something to be made w/ the tools he’d been given  

despite not having the money for private tutors to hone their son’s growing artistic talents , his parents did whatever they could to support his dreams , whether that meant working double shifts back to back or scrounging for loose change underneath the sofa cushions to pay for whatever materials nico needed .

it was in this strange way that nico grew up p spoiled . somehow having nothing while also having absolutely everything at the same time .

very much a family man , the first big purchase nico made once he broke out in hollywood was a house in beverly hills for his parents . now that he’s finally at a place where he can take care of his family , nico makes sure that his parents and sisters want for nothing

while he showers everyone else with generous gifts and obscene amounts of money , nico doesn’t particularly feel comfortable doing the same for himself . he’s a simple man through n through . one who’s content to spend his time walking his dog late at night , listening to a podcast on his airpods , instead of going out to a club w/ other well-known socialites .

a true artist at heart , nico refuses to conform to the current trends of hollywood , instead insisting on wearing thrifted clothes to important galas — ‏‏‎much to the frustration of his PR team and the chagrin of his stylists . but none of the choices nico makes seems to surprise anyone anymore . driving flashy cars and wearing designer clothes has never really been his style , after all . and it’s important to him that he remain authentically himself despite everything .

WANTED CONNECTS.

pr relationship ( open ) : someone that nico is contractually obligated to date ... i could totally see there being drama ‘n tension from having to pretend to actually like each other ... would b better if they rly did not like each other at all ... 

fwb ( open ) : buddies who bump uglies sometimes ... they both agreed they’d never catch feelings for each other but we’ll see ... 

frenemies ( open ) : someone that grinds nico’s gears but they’re a friend of his friend ... so they’re forced to keep it civil . i can see them exchanging hateful comments in the back of their friend’s car while simultaneously posting pics of each other on ig to keep up the rouse . 

unrequited crush ( open ) : likely nico would not realize if yr muse had a crush on them ... but it’d be fun to play it out like a kdrama anyway heh heh

a close friend group ( open / any ) : i thought it’d b so cute if there was like a small group of friends , maybe 3-4 ppl , that do stupid shit like ditch going to celebrity after-parties to break into abandoned buildings , get real high , ask stupid ‘ would u rather ‘ questions , and do sum main character type shit ... yk what im puttin down ... ‘n nico is def the type to open up in the presence of extroverts so i think having a group of wild outsiders of diff bgs would b v inch resting ..

enemies / rivals ( open / any ) : tbh nico prob rubs ppl the wrong way since he has resting bitch face ‘n never wants to talk to anyone .. so im sure there r ppl who just do not like this mf ... and rest assured that the feeling is mutual ...

bad / good influence ( open / any ) : nico’s known to mount his high horse often ... mr morality over here ... so i just know he prob would butt heads w/ the residential troublemaker . tho nico’s artwork can be controversial and out of the box at times , his art style and his personality are at constant odds , and it’d b interesting to have that bad influence / good influence dynamic w/ someone .

family friend ( open ) : someone who grew up w/ nico in dtla ... couldve gone to the same public school as him ... or their families couldve gone to the same church ...

the  bennouna's  are  a  vastly  rich  family,  rooted  in  old  money.  gianna  &  nadim  are  a  prominent  power  couple  within  the  business  world,  and  are  currently  located  in  canary  wharf,  london,  with  their  youngest  son,  adam.  the  bennouna  offspring  are  as  widespread  across  the  globe  as  you  could  imagine  -  with  nisrine  &  her  older  sister,  sabrina,  living  in  the  states,  her  eldest  brother,  said,  in  australia,  &  her  second  eldest  brother,  hamza,  extending  his  gap  year  in  japan.  the  siblings  relationship  is  as  sparse  as  their  physical  distance  -  although  they  unite  for  holidays  &  birthdays,  they  don't  meet  much  otherwise  -  bar  the  odd  snapchat  or  instagram  comment,  or  mention  in  the  cobwebbed  family  whatsapp  groupchat.

her  parents  weren't  particularly  fond  of  nisrine's  career  choice,  nor  are  they  overly  supportive  presently,  much  preferring  her  to  have  followed  an  academic  route  akin  to  her  siblings.  her  career  has  been  at  the  root  of  many  arguments,  and  has  caused  a  slight  resentment  towards  her  older  siblings  as  they  rarely  fight  her  corner.

her  musical  success  is  a  relatively  recent  occurrence,  with  her  fame  piquing  when  she  was  featured  upon  the  great  gatsby  soundtrack  with  young  and  beautiful  (  in  this  hc  the  movie  was  released  later  hehe  like  2  ?  years  ago  ).  since  then,  her  career  sky  -  rocketed,  and  she  is  soon  to  release  her  third  album.

she  runs  purely  on  intuition  -  she  trusts  her  gut  above  all  else,  though  she  is  partial  to  reading  her  horoscope  &  frequent  visits  to  a  tarot  reader.  she  doesn't  posses  much  of  a  boundary  when  it  comes  to  ...  anything,  really,  and  follows  her  heart  over  her  head  every  time.  that  said,  she’s  highly  emotional  -  good  or  bad  thing,  u  decide  !

full  name:  elio  francisco  gabriele  damiani. nicknames:  eli  ,  to  a  select  few. gender  /  pronouns:  cis  male  ,  he/him birthdate:  november 1st. zodiac:  scorpio. sexual  /  romantic  orientation:  bisexual.

*   B  A  C  K  G  R  O  U  N  D.

elio  was  the  son  that  the  damiani's  had  always  been  secretly  praying  for,  falling  into  the  position  of  their  third  (  and  final  )  child.  although  they  wouldn't  admit  it  for  the  sake  of  their  image,  they  had  always  planned  for  a  son  to  take  over  the  family  business  -  despite  having  two  strong  &  very  capable  daughters  befalling  their  son's  birth.  besdies,  the  damiani's  had  always  been  very  conservative  in  their  ways;  with  giuliana  damiani  sweeping  her  girls  away  from  all  matters  business,  and  lucian  damiani  taking  his  son  eagerly  under  his  wing.

elio  was  sculpted  into  the  man  his  parents  envisioned  him  to  be  pretty  much  from  the  minute  he  was  born.  his  education  was  above  par,  his  schedule  filled  with  tutoring  sessions  &  extra  curricular  activities,  with  young  elio  bombarded  with  the  constant  reminder  that  he  would  achieve  so  much  more  than  his  peers,  until  he  began  to  believe  it  himself.

his  short  -  winded  acting  career  was  more  accidental  than  anything  else.  he  was  scouted  for  a  role  by  a  family  friend,  and  ended  up  starring  in  a  disney  show  from  the  age  of  twelve  to  sixteen.  not  that  elio  would  admit  it,  but  it  was  probably  the  most  fun  &  the  most  he'd  felt  like  a  kid  his  entire  childhood  (  &  he  sometimes  ponders  whether  he  could  have  made  it  big  as  an  actor  ).  his  parents  weren't  hugely  thrilled  about  his  involvement,  with  the  fear  that  it  may  impede  on  their  own  plans  for  their  son,  and  he  was  swiftly  encouraged  not  to  take  on  any  further  roles  once  the  show  came  to  an  end.  the  show  was  a  huge  success,  however,  and  it  earned  elio  an  active  following  online  -  many  of  whom  still  keep  up  with  him  today.

*   E  X  T  R  A  S.

how  likeable  elio  is  probably  depends  on  how  entitled  your  muse  is  ...  because  this  guy  ?  thinks  the  world  revolves  around  him.  he  can  be  pretty  judgemental  about  pretty  much  everything  &  has  never  been  humble  a  day  in  his  life  <3  his  parents  expertly  hand-crafted  a  huge  egomaniac  ! 

that  said,  i  wouldn’t  say  elio  is  purposefully  rude  (  unless  he  doesn’t  like  you,  then  he  will  actively  go  out  of  his  way  to  be  a  dick  ),  more  so  he  is  too  oblivious  to  realize  that  he’s  massively  ignorant  👀  it’s  highly  likely  that  he’s  made  himself  some  enemies  over  the  years,  whether  that  be  intentional  or  not.  he’s  certainly  not  as  poised  as  his  parents  would  have  wished  for  him  to  be,  &  can  sometimes  get  caught  out  by  the  paparazzi  &  paper  headlines  for  getting  himself  in  trouble  /  bad  situations.

his  random  passion  is  languages  -  he’s  fluent  in  english,  italian,  &  spanish,  &  has  been  studying  russian  &  mandarin  for  years.  it’s  probably  one  of  the  only  things  he’s  entirely  grateful  that  his  parents  pushed  him  to  pursue.

relationships  are  viewed  as  a  distraction,  so  elio  has  never  entirely  invested  himself  into  anybody.  he's  had  flings,  &  some  close  calls,  but  never  the  real  deal.  he  keeps  people  at  arms  length,  &  likes  to  pretend  that  he  doesn’t  need  anything  more  than  that.  although  he  wouldn't  describe  himself  as  closeted,  nobody  in  his  family  is  aware  of  his  sexuality.

way back aka backstory !

tommy’s something of a legacy here in los angeles --- his dad’s a big time movie star with a weirdly indulged, but somewhat successful music career on the side. his mom, a socialite through and through, with a taste for the good life ruling her every choice.

life until he was five was great --- toys and money and love and a pretty damn good existence. until his mom decided one day, she wasn’t fit to be a mother; wasn’t cut out for the life of walking two steps behind someone till she was dead or passed over for a younger model. and that was fkn that, in the harcroft home.

tommy was old enough to remember the talk, the rumours, the scandal of his mom walking out and seemingly disappearing --- but young enough to still want his mom.

from that moment on, and it was tommy and his dad against the world. even when his dad found someone else, had another kid. it was still them against the world. he cherishes his dad like you wouldn’t believe, looks up to him any number of ways.

because of that, tommy’s always somewhat delighted in his own legacy and the power it involves. while he was a good natured, sweet kid --- once his mom left, he took a turn for the worse; and took a turn for the dark.

( there was a switch flipped in his mind. for all his mom said she cared, said she loved him, and loved his dad. for all his mom said she wouldn’t ever leave --- it turned out to be a lie. a joke with no punchline. he started to see that things like feelings and loyalty to your loved ones never really mattered, because people did what they wanted in the end. )

so why wasn’t he?

he was getting into clubs at sixteen on the virtue of his last name; living in the lap of luxury; perfectly content to whittle away his trust fund to the low thousands.

it was his step-mother that, in the end, pushed him towards something better. putting her foot down and demanding he be a better role model for his baby sister, tommy finally, finally decided to find himself a career.

always something of a poet in his youth, he channelled that into something... more.

( what followed was a serious of mixtapes and eps, eluding to darker desires, a fucked up sense of self. all released under half-assed pseudonyms, just for the sheer fact of having something to do. he didn’t expect the response he got --- shares all over soundcloud and filtering into instagram stories. eventually, he claimed the work as his own --- and re-released it under a simple name: tommy. )

street smarts aka personality !

tommy’s incredibly close with his baby sister, ( she’s also a wc ! ) despite the age gap. there’s nothing he wouldn’t do for the lil tkye, and he often credits her with being the reason he gets his shit together on the daily. he wants to be a good person for his sister, and wants her to have a good role model.

despite the brillant smile, the creative ideas, the charming personality --- tommy has a heart of stone. the concept of monogamy is foreign to him, and for every girlfriend he’s had, there’s another girl he’s cheated on her with. 

his issues with his mother, his family, all manifest in horrible, unique ways --- his casual attitude towards sex and feelings, his liberal use of drugs and alcohol; being just as quick to betray someone for a leg up, as he is take them under his wing.

he’s callous and cold --- he’s sarcastic and doesn’t want to take a deeper look at his own issues. why should he? no one else ever does. why does he have to be the bigger fucking person?

his music is, really, everything to him. ( a side note --- his claims re music are the weeknd, with a slight dash of miguel for aesthetics. i’ll have more to say in this area when my spotify stops being a shit. )

he’s one of those people who attracts hangers on like nobody’s buisness --- his dad’s populairty and legacy being the main factor. not that tommy would ever dare to suggest he didn’t like this part of his life --- god no.

divin’ deeper aka connection ideas !

exes ! secrets and not so secret, people who started as hook-ups and ended up in whirlwind flings on yachts in the south of france. the messier, the better.

pr relationship ! there’s probably one on the horizon, something to try and clean up his image just a little bit. a hard task, since tommy’s more inclined to fuck his way through a guest list than settle on monogamy.

best bros ! someone who’s known him since he was a kid, who knows what kind of guy lurks beneath all the bullshit and all the abandonment issues. someone he would literally bury a body for. his person.

enemies ! maybe tommy cheated on their sister. maybe tommy fucked them over in a collab. maybe there’s an ancient grudge between their two families.
