she comes from a new money family at the helm of a hong kong-based real estate development firm, but her geographical background is a tad more complex than that sijfg

not to mention her mother being a miss universe contestant-turned-supermodel who still walked the occasional runway after two kids à la the iconic 2010s victoria’s secret models, but anyways —

her dad’s a british national ( and started off as a financier, then switched to real estate, tHEN became a cfo of his own firm fdgsdklfdgfl ) as are she and her brother, so while he and his family were busy building up their company with many trips abroad, lydia, her brother and her mom hung back in london for the most part — though some of her summers were spent in hong kong or along the beaches of the mediterranean when she wasn’t embracing the countryside of her home country during term breaks

however, at age 10, she and the family moved to edinburgh so she could attend a more prestigious private school — and so they could be a bit closer to her brother who was spending time at the renowned st. andrew’s university 

.. basically, i need a sister in arms when it comes to bastardized accents, so have this british bitch with a scottish twinge FDSGJSHDGFSLK

speaking of her brother, they clearly have a sizeable age gap, so while they do love each other and all that, they aren’t necessarily close. he’s primed to be something of an heir and he’s more than cool with that, while lyds is more keen on taking her time to figure out what she wants to do with her life and her parents encourage it..... not to say he was ever pressured but, y’know

all the while, mama hyunh was busy appearing on.. idk, something like america’s next top model and project runway when she could — maybe even masterchef ?? GJSFGF — trying to work her schedule around lydia by taking her with her on sick days or during the summer months

so lydia had a taste of hollywood during her early teens with these trips, absolutely enamoured, fucking gobsmacked that her mom was in the industry bc with the way they lived back home it was as if she was merely privileged as hell

connection idea right there folks !

should note bc it feels weird to glaze over it even if it disrupts the flow, but lydia ?? LOVES her mom. so much. she’s a family girl in general, but she really does look up to her mom and appreciates the little things she does to help or impress her

we’re all about wholesome family relationships here, js SLKFDGJSLFD but anyways

she keeps up this lifestyle of studying in edinburgh, travelling wherever the fuck her parents wish to take her and getting ( almost ) whatever she wants

bc if there’s one thing either of her parents put to her, it was to know her limits and to at least recognize her privilege, even if they knew she was a little too spoiled in her own way to be thoroughly humbled. sounds fake but i always thought of them as traditional hard workers who want their kids to be the same, so 😔

and with that, upon graduating and attending uni in glasgow the following fall, lydia kinda.. separated herself from some aspects of her wealth, wanting to be a normal student with some obvious luxuries bc. she can’t help herself fsdgljgdfs

especially when you have a damn model for a mom and you’re Kinda known to be her kid

and yknow what, it worked out for the most part. ofc she couldn’t hide her roots so people knew this annoying brat came from money, but they weren’t complaining bc at least it meant they had some GREAT parties bc of some loans she’d give out for the sake of having a good time herself

long story short, she loved uni, still does, but she loves the breaks even more as she’s been consistently visiting hollywood since she was 18. mama hyunh became more involved in being a tv personality now that both kids were out of the nest and her husband kept himself occupied with work ( when he couldn’t see her, which ofc is routine as he recently moved up to be ceo ), so she spends much of her time in beverly hills 

so much so that lyds’ summers were spent reconnecting with her mom, and having a wild time on the side too gfsdkjgfd

this year, however, her dad decided to open an office in l.a. to be more present with his wife. and to capitalize on the market

and after hearing that.. something in lydia Snapped. ksldfgjkldf like she v quickly decided to take a break from school and stay here for a bit

which some would find weird bc really ? NOW ? when your parents are around ?? but eh....... using the excuse of “ family bonding ” to really take advantage of whatever ounce of star power she has here is fine by her LFSKDGJSDFG

probably lives with her two cousins to save her ass from being dragged

PERSONALITY AND OTHER SHIT

according to my little blurb on my p much Dead indie: “ ( upper middle class-turned ) trust fund baby who tries to downplay her privilege but usually fails; adventurous and charming, she's a soft player who likes being pursued so long as she calls the shots ”

so uh.. that hasn’t changed much GFLKSDFL

i love the ( closet ) sad little rich girl and all those classic tropes as much as the next person, but lydia happens to be one of the most unbothered chicks you’ll probably ever meet FGJKSDG

vulnerability ?? don’t know her ! she’s just here for a good time and doesn’t know anything But !

laidback af, not to mention i never saw her as particularly defensive of her status and such, and i’m sure her uni life reflected that all by itself

the fact that she’s had it relatively easy in the sense of no real trauma or family issues helps, who knows fdsjglk

doesn't mean she won't lay into you if the time calls for it, especially if you have a god complex or something. she’s of the mindset, “ you do you and i’ll do me, but act like a fool and i’ll happily remind you of it for the rest of your days, ” so it's safe to say that someone could bring out the bitch that lurks beneath if they're not careful SGFJDKLGF

can she be selfish and indulgent ?? .. yes, but does she carry herself as such ? ………. also yes, bUT not by much, which makes a difference ! 

LKSFDGLF jk, but she is restrained in how she displays these tendencies ( for the most part ) or else she probably would’ve gotten her ass handed to her back in uni. thank god she’s well-mannered enough

wild child ! gets around ! don’t think i need to elaborate aside from the fact that she’d rather NOT get an sti or wind up in the er over dumb shit, so there’s a sense of caution with it all

basically, she can be materialistic as hell and takes advantage of the shit she has while she has it, but she’s practical enough to know her limits or to just. know better

hey my name is ceejay ! i’m 21+ & i’m in the cst timezone. i got by he/they pronouns & i’m really excited to be here ! i’ve never really done a rp like this before but i was able to come up with a concept i’m pretty proud of so hopefully you guys will like bowie too ! i prefer to plot on discord so you can find me @ gay baby jail#4464 but ims are fine too so just like this & i’ll send one your way !

here are links to his dossier, biography & pinterest board, because they all offer much more insight than this intro post will be able to.

personality:

at first glance he probably seems like the typical fake deep art student type & he’s not known for smiling very often. he might even seem kind of boring until you get to know him just because he’s more on the quiet side until he decides you’re worth his time

he is prone to fits of depression but he usually keeps it pretty quiet. if he disappears for a few days and leave you on read this is more than likely why

while he tries to keep an arrogant front he’s actually pretty insecure & comments made towards his appearance or childhood will keep him up at night thinking about it

just like any other rich kid prone to boredom he likes to get into messy situations. he started partying as a teen & never got fully out of it though he’s not nearly as bad anymore. he dabbles in casual sex & drug usage but gets blackout drunk at any given opportunity 

he’s very impulsive. he’s the kind to say he wants to go somewhere then actually do it within the hour. he’s a real big fan of europe & japan

due to his chaotic upbringing he never really learned how to treat people except through tv & movies. so while he tries his best to be kind & understanding sometimes it just doesn’t work out. he has a tendency to  be “accidentally” selfish but he tends to regret his actions at least ( if he’ll apologize for it is another story )

he’s extremely noncommittal. though he’s very known for having a deep desire for romance he has no idea how to go about it. usually when things get too close to being an actual relationship he’ll fuck it up somehow & go back to square one

to relax he plays on the pixel art app & he casually plays video games in his spare time

to feel like he has control over his life he started doing art commissions in order to make his own money. he has drawn way more furry art than he’d ever like to admit

wanted connections:

exes ! any gender is fine. if you need a quick messy relationship then he’s your guy. he falls fast & hard but immediately becomes terrified & self-sabotages in response. i’m fine with any reason for breaking up. it could even be your muse’s fault if you wish. but bowie is prone to feelings of jealousy & is a also a compulsive cheater. other things that could be used to break things off is his messy lifestyle, his overwhelming need to be paranoid about people / their actual motives ( his assumption that everyone will abandon him keeps him questioning everything ) & inability to settle down. bonus points if they can’t let go of each other & end up in bed occasionally

fwbs ! ( any gender ) need a lot of these because this is the main way bowie keeps people close since he can’t handle an actual relationship. some could even be the people that he cheats on his partners with. would like some that actually work out pretty well like they’re close friends but sleeping together helps strengthen their bond & then i’d love some messy ones with feelings involved that bowie just brushes off

beard ! ( femmes only ) though bowie has bare minimum interactions with his dad & is actually unsure of his views on the lgbt community he still goes out of his way to bring girls home. just more dumb efforts he put in to try to get his father to notice him

pr relationship ! someone he only appears intimate with in front of cameras for the attention it brings

best friend ! that one person bowie can actually trust & rely on more than anything in life. this actually requires some chem but we can definitely discuss the minor details !

hi its me ash again DJGHJDGHJD i also play silas, the wong yukhei

i’m gonna keep naiyana’s short because she’s pretty easy to explain. drug tw

naiyana was born in thailand but her family moved her to singapore when she was just two years old

she spent most of her life in boarding schools, racking up bad habits !

even though her parents neglected her emotionally, she’s very spoiled

think paris hilton but bisexual

she’s like.. in tabloids full cooch out, drunk off her ass, leaving the club at 4am

she’s very gregarious but manipulative

she’s surface level but underneath her party girl facade, she’s got a really big, broken heart

she’s never felt loved in her whole life rip

she fills the void with drugs and alcohol and mindless sex

she’ll sleep with ANYONE

she’s v much into the laidease but she’s an equal opportunist 

what she needs:

fwb

someone who will tear down her walls

former flames

the nicole richie to her paris

the kim to her paris ( aka a minion )

the britney to her paris ( a frenemy )

maybe a slow burn .. 

boarding school friends she can get fuckt with

people she parties with

H I S T O R Y !

born to first generation korean immigrants as one of three children. yuri’s the youngest and was maybe babied a little (read: a lot) but instead of turning out like a little brat (side eyes at kit) they’re actual a little poppet angel

always tended towards the shier side which resulted in a few close friends but also some bullying. especially since they felt more comfortable speaking korean as a teeny tot but despite being soft, they’re resilient ok

plus they did/ do HAVE friends. most notably two best friends they’ve had since forever. they’ve been a best friend trio for life and are a large part of the reason why yuri is still a soft blossoming sunflower.

they were kind of an outcast at school for their socially anxious tendencies, a stutter they picked up from the bullying about how they spoke and then, a bit later on, for their unwillingness to conform to masculine stereotypes. the bullying made their school life kind of a nightmare.

their academics suffered hard but they were still good at english / writing and had a knack for music. they kept diaries and would never be caught dead without some kind of notebook on their person and spent most of their time hiding away in practice rooms.

home life wasn’t much better. it wasn’t a bad upbringing per say and yuri loves their siblings with everything they’ve got but their parents were traditionalists and, later, going through a messy divorce which put a wrench in their comfortably middle class existence.

cheating and fighting put a really damper on how yuri viewed love and relationships which will come into play later

as if the divorce weren’t enough, things were only made more difficult when they finally decided that their gender identity was more of a question mark than anything else around that same time, leading to some harmful associations

they already kind of blamed themselves for their parents’ disagreements. they felt like their eccentricity was causing a rift and so they went through a period immediately after the divorce was finalized where they just kept their realization a secret

coming out to their parents was the bravest thing they’d ever done and, thankfully, despite all the confusion they were more accepted than they thought they would be. their siblings were a super big part of why it all went well it but that’s why we love and support the kim fam

so were yuri’s bffs.

still, the divorce was hard. being a hopeless romantic before the whole split, yuri took a 180 and became scared of love. they saw how it could hurt. how it could break up families and be thrown away for nights of physical pleasure. they saw how it could make children doubt themselves and how it made grown adults cry. they didn’t think they’d ever fall in love.

and yet… they were already falling. it was such a slow gradual thing, falling in love with one of their best friends. they’d been there all along, through thick and thin – both friends had – but the spark of something more quickly turned into a fire once they started opening up to the idea. 

that’s not to say that it was easy. yuri denied it for a long while, rejected a few desperate suitors throughout college and used that angst and insecurity in their writing and composing. they developed an even stronger passion for the written word – mostly poetry but sometimes other forms of prose -- and were able to communicate some of those feelings through music.

personality and important points  – STILL A SHY LITTLE SWEETHEART but an emphasis on the sweet. occasionally stutters but is going to speech therapy and has medication for anxiety. has a dog that isn’t technically a therapy dog but might as well be one for all that comfort and support aw they’re a writer and blogger and run a fairly popular forum for lgbt youths called ‘question mark’ but how they really became rich is explained next ...... 

C A R E E R !

yuri’s joining the lives of the rich and wealthy is actually fairly recent. they saved up money from freelance pieces to move out and bought a piano before they bought real furniture. someone recorded a video of them playing and how it echoed down the stairwell and it went viral. being famous without a face to attach to the talent ends up being a running theme in yuri’s life

somewhere while the piano vid was gaining traction, yuri started sending out manuscripts of their writing. it’s definitely what they actually wanted to do with their life -- music being more of a hobby. they weren’t... getting far but eventually their work fell into the hands of someone who contacted yuri to be a ghost writer

it wasn’t quite the ‘big break’ they were expecting but it was also quite lucrative. the individual ended up making bank on the novel and has contracted yuri for a sequel. they aren’t super sure they want to do it because it feels odd to be getting rich off of someone else’s name branding but at the same time, they were able to send money to their siblings and provide for their family so like? they don’t mind some part of me is like it’s kit doing the full on zoella ghostwriting scandal but i don’t know what kit would even write about so that’s a no

the recent spike in instagram followers came from people finally attaching the aforementioned piano video to a name. they don’t even want to be social media famous --- they just want to live their quiet life with their lil pup. they moved to a nice new penthouse mostly at their agent’s suggestion but are still unsure as to whether or not the opulent richie rich life style is for them. 

someone pls come and give them support nd break them out of their shell.

i’m just rambling now 

* ( &. 001. | ryan hwang comes from a very prosperous family. her mother is one of the most known actresses in the industry. she’s not known for so much acting, as she is for the rumors surrounding her, and her endeavors. her father, however, was unknown, he was thought to be a director that ryans mother was rumored to have had a fling with.

* ( &. 002. | ryan grew up in a household with essentially only her mother, seeing as her father had left only a few years after she was born. her mother was a licentious women, always bringing potential suitors home when she was staying with her and staying up doing things unknown to little ryan hours after they were supposed to be asleep. she was the type of women who believed that a women needed to be stereotypically beautiful to have any type of value. these ideas of her mothers were easily inscribed into the young girl’s mind, letting her have morals, and ideas about women that were absolutely wrong.

* ( &. 003. | during her childhood, ryan was thrown into a lot of pageants, mostly her mother’s idea, and she never really detested it. in fact, she loved it. the feeling of being pampered, and feared for her beauty had been something that ryan had known from her childhood years. it was something she had grown accustomed too.

* ( &. 004. | she was never really away from her mother. she was around her practically all the time, and seeing as ryan was around her mother so much, and because of her mother’s escapades, she had began to become very coquettish as she entered her teenage years. if she couldn’t get something she wanted, she would flirt with people until she had got her way. hell, she would just even flirt with people with no purpose of gaining anything. she just liked knowing that with a bat of her long eyelashes, and a flip of her long, platinum blonde hair, ryan could get nearly anything she wanted.

* ( &. 005. | ryan, as most teenagers do, began to rebel against her mother around the age of sixteen. she was growing up, and she now knew that what her mother wanted her to do, was not what she wanted to do. she was really really tired of trying to live up to everyone else’s standards, so she stopped, and became her own person, who she wanted to be.

* ( &. 006. | after ryan stood up to her mother, and told her that she didn’t want to be like her, she was thrown out of the house. her mother told her as she was leaving that ryan was a disgrace to the family, and didn’t deserve to bear the hwang name . after she was thrown out with really, only the clothes on her back, and after she had gotten over the initial pain that her mother has caused her.. ryan decided she was going to get back on her feet, and began trying to break into the modeling world. she’s still trying to work her way up the career ladder, but she considers what she’s done so far incredible progress! she’s more determined than ever to prove her mother wrong, and live her own life.

* ( &. 007. | if i had to give ryan a label, i’d probably label her as as the babydoll. growing up with so much luxury, and wealth made her become spoiled. she has no shame in this, she was always taught that if you had the most expensive stuff, you were better than everyone else. and though, that’s not how she thinks anymore, she still loves expensive things, and she is still spoiled. she believes she deserves the best, and that’s the only thing she’ll settle for.

* ( &. 008. | now that she’s free from her mother, and finally doing her own thing she has an overwhelming sense of freedom, leading her to make less than smart decisions on a regular basis. she’s always been very impulsive, but now that theres no one to stop it, she tends to take it to a whole new level. she just loves the feeling of an adrenaline rush.

hey i’m rachel !  i won’t lie, i haven’t joined a tumblr rp in years so if i mess something up, that’s why. i’m super excited to start everything off when i recover from being at work all day rip. my discord is tired of being employed (again)#5480 if you’d like to talk there (sorry the name is so long i just really hate working). anyway, i’ll shut up now and get to some basics about leon :

his parents started off really loosely based around the beckhams, but that kinda got away from me. his dad is still a very well known soccer player (from seoul), his mother is a famous actress who steered more into the business side of hollywood as she got older

his father only really stayed in the us for his mother, and really had no choice when leon was born. he wanted to keep leon away from his mother’s lifestyle but realized that wouldn’t happen, so instead he tried to keep leon humble throughout his childhood. it succeeded for a bit until he hit high school and had a little more freedom to learn how fun being rich could be. 

by the time he’d graduated, he’d quit soccer and fallen into more dangerous habits. his father, who’d slowly grown to detest his wife’s lifestyle, ended up leaving his mother. she sort of fell apart and he had to try to pull it together to be there for her, but that really just meant suppressing his own feelings

ummmmm so basically now he really has no one keeping him in check / humble so he’s fully acting out. seeing how his father slowly started to hate the woman he called the love of his life, leon’s given up on trying to really connect with people. 

to make it simple, he’s comparable to sebastian valmont/kwon sihyun (tempted), but a little more of a smartass. he’ll play with people just to start drama / to get a reaction. he’s discreet and calculated, which leaves him to come off as cold, but when you look closer you realize he’s just a bored rich kid looking to avoid making the same mistakes as his parents. when he forgets to act like a douche, you see more of the comical and sensitive side he desperately tries to hide

he’s super protective when he does grow to care for people, it just takes a long time. he doesn’t trust easily either, so once you break it, you usually can't earn it back 

idk what else to add, this was horrible but i’m rush typing this. NMXNMXNMZMNXNMZXMNMN there’s more info in the muse tab, but i’m really gonna get a better feel for him once we start so for now this is probably fine ! 

⋆ ◦ ° ☾ background + personality

emmaline is the only child of matias and lisabeth alderidge, american millionaires who made their fortune by winning a set of high-profile cases before retiring in their fifties to devote their efforts to philanthropy.

growing up emmaline (often opting to go by emmy) had everything she could have desired - trips ‘round europe, beautiful gowns, bullshit organic meals prepared by an in-house chef and a summer home on martha’s vineyard.

when she was young she fit in wonderfully with this life, the prime example of a budding socialite. she made conversation with stock-brokers and attorneys and achieved the highest marks in school. she would not be seen without having the finest garments on and she always entertained. she wanted to be likeable to a fault.

she was diagnosed with ewing’s sarcoma when she was fifteen. clusters of tumors lined her collarbone and upper arm, requiring a multi-year ordeal of chemo, surgery and radiation.

her parents took this and ran with it…creating the ‘alderidge foundation for ewing’s sarcoma.” this was a kind gesture, one that emmy supported at first, but later grew to detest. she hated having a namesake...one public memory of her experience that would stay with her and force her to talk about the most traumatic time of her life with any wealthy friend willing to give.

the foundation operates from the generosity of donors and provides research dollars to study the particular mutation found in em’s tumor cells. this means lots! of! galas! (that emmaline doesn’t want to attend lmao)

she would much rather have frank discussions about survivorship - including talks about sex and body image and how to get drunk on a tuesday without screwing with her medication schedule. she loves mom and dad but feels as if they want to do philanthropy to show face.

now she’s living alone in la as a bit of a runaway (still funded tho lol). she’s the sweetest little bean who is still trying to figure things out. if you catch her alone you can find her pressing some flowers in the pages of her journal or attending community social justice meetings. a champagne socialist if you will.

she works in an art gallery and tries to go unnoticed but everyone is like psych you’re a fckn alderidge and you got this job because you’re rich as shit.

⋆ ◦ ° ☾ headcanons

she has 550k followers on instagram, a relatively low number for the group, but only because every once and a while she has a nervous break and deletes her account before re-making it so less people are watching her life. each time she claims it was a technical glitch. lies.

a bit of a prudish, nervous type but went through a phase where she made-out with half of la in an attempt to feel something again. maybe even your muse!

has a recurring dream where she moves to luxembourg and spends the remainder of her days alone with a bulldog, taking hikes and drinking tea. her therapist says this means her psyche wants anonymity. she thinks she is just sick of warm weather. in denial much?

when she inherits the aldridge estate she plans on shutting down her parent’s foundation and establishing her own fund where she gives large sums of money to sick kids to spend on whatever they want. just a bunch of hand-outs. nothing more. short-sited? probably. could she do more good by thinking this through? absolutely. will she ever change her mind? unlikely. 

honestly this is probably because she can’t have biological kids due to treatment and deals with this sadness by resigning herself to dying broke after giving everything she has to people she relates to. also she wants to spite her own tax bracket. y i k e s !
