#perks.intro

● born and raised on her family farm, odessa grew up to be your southern belle. she’s beyond proud of her texas roots and she’s not afraid to let it be known. she’s a lil country sweetheart living in the big city :~)

● she’s the youngest between her and her older brother, who passed away when she was in high school. this is probably where you’re wondering why my sweet little angel works in forensics and such. 

● her brother was on his way to a party one night, which he never showed up, and never returned home. his body was found days later in the woods near this party. years went by before there were any leads, and no suspects arrested. 

● odessa was so infuriated that nobody was helping as much as they could have, and nobody was paying attention to important detail. she took it upon herself to become a forensic pathologist, and takes pride in bringing justice and relief to families who want answers and closure. 

● through out high school and college, she dated the same guy (wanted connection) who she fell pregnant with soon before graduating college. they broke up soon after adelaide was born. simple.

● she makes it a priority to put others before herself, always. she’ll help anyone with anything in a time of need since she knows what it feels like to feel helpless even with the simplest of things. 

● feelings are not her thing, and she’s very reserved about them. especially since she’s got a young daughter, she is very cautious with who she brings around. 

ok so she actually did not grow grow up here, she moved here for teachers college. her family is one of those super rich, snobby types. their all a bunch of like ??? investors that no one rly knows how they even get their money they’re just rly good at playing the market

they’ve never been all too nice, they seem like they would be from the outside but it’s a very high pressure family that never has anything nice to say abt u nd it’s very damaging for a kid to grow up in!!!!!!!

when she was in college she got into PE drugs which led to other things, which led 2 alcohol it was just v bad, she became v dark and her edges were all mad sharp, she def had a problem nd what her family did 2 help quote quote quote was basically 2 outcast her nd say peace. which worked but like….. in the same way a kid cleans their room by throwing all their dirty clothes under a sheet. so ya!!! it was shitty, developed even worse attachment issues, trust issues, etc etc !!!!!

in teachers college it came up again, only it didn’t help @ all nd so they took her off the will, took away her money, nd after her brother gave her enough money 2 buy a house none of them ever spoke 2 her again!!!!!!!!!!!! nd she also ruined a relationship wt the love of her life bc of it!!! fun, super fun :)

n e ways she still struggles with it tho now it’s more of a long period without it then binges out, other than that tho her life is going great from what anyone can see!!! she’s teaching art her passion along side core english, she’s got two dog babies, she never seems to be stresst or sad!!! lmao a joke!

anyways so what’s she like u may ask???? she is…. who i wish i could be if it weren’t for all the sad stuff

she’s always been a very social nd approachable person bc that was part of her family life, like u know in older tv shows set in new york she’s that girl with a fun bright colored purse who somehow looks good in a knee length floral skirt who talks to the news vender and street bagel cart guy nd they all know her name and always give her free stuff bc she’s just so endearing nd nice

i wldnt say her way of interacting is like…. sarcastic but she is sO playful nd jocular like she likes to poke fun at ppl, it’s all very harmless

she’s very intense…. not in the serious kinda way but everything she does she really, really does it. she dives in…. without thinking a lot of the time, and she just gets really excited and falls in love with ideas the second they pop into her head

that being said she can be very stupid….. she’s very brash nd thinks almost nothing thru, she makes bad decisions at every turn, but at least she isn’t 2 full of pride to admit she’s wrong!!!!

she’s also v emotional…. very dramatic….  everything is a big deal, but it’s part of her charm, she makes everything fun

she has major major trust issues bc of her family nd it’s like…. it manifests v weird in her like she tries 2 push people away when it gets it’s worst, nd she definitely loves solitude bc it’s safer nd gets spooked v easy

bc of this relationships r…. hard for her thOUGh she 100% still tries at them bc she’s a huge hopeless romantic but unfortunately it just means she has a bunch of broken hearts behind her

she does art like painting and stuff on the side nd she’s good enough to make money off of it

she knows like 37 numbers of pie because in grade 8 some kid beat her by one number in front of the whole class and said 12 of them, so she learned 25 more of them if that tells u anything about her competitiveness :)

( nico tortorella , 28, cismale, he/him ) — oh man, would you look at that? that’s TRISTAN ROY getting their mail right there. they’re the ACTOR living in APARTMENT 101 – hear they came from OTTAWA, CANADA almost SIX YEARS ago. they’ve got a reputation around here for being EBULLIENT and ALLURING, but god knows there’s the DECEITFUL and INCONSIDERATE side of them too. their favourite emoji is 😘 if that says anything about them. 

tristan roy was born in ottawa, canada, to a canadian politician and his american wife. thanks to the fact that his mother was american, he always had the dual-citizenship, which is why he can stay in the states at the moment.

he had a pretty regular childhood. a lowkey absent father, but a very present mother and a younger sister he felt quite protective of. when he came out to his family, they didn’t make a big deal out of it, and basically? boy had a pretty perfect childhood.

the school he went to was really open-minded and though everyone knew about it when someone came out, it was generally well-received. therefore, there was never really anything negative that came in tristan’s life regarding his homosexuality. except maybe from lil homophobic comments there and there, but he mostly lets them wash over him. he’s a pretty carefree guy so he’s not easily bothered. good luck if you’re homophobic to someone else in front of him, though, bc he can get quite protective of other people. 

but seriously don’t make homophobic comments at him bc he may be able to take it but i can’t so yeah psa!!

he studied acting in montreal after high school and was actually considered to have a lot of talent and got offers in quebec but he wanted something bigger so he decided to move to nyc after he finished acting school

problem was, things weren’t as easy in nyc bc um there were a lot more people. therefore he’s stuck doing pretty crappy plays and stuff which explains why he doesn’t exactly have much money. his parents actually help pay for his rent bc well, they have money and they’re v generous so there’s that. ok to be fair he did ONE big play once, but even though he received good criticism it wasn’t enough for him to break into the business.

he’s a v flirty person who gets crushes quite easily and like he’ll start flirting with someone and bc of that will get a crush on them????? the boy’s alluring so it happens that they’re reciprocated but it’s rare that he lets crushes go any further

he’s a very ebullient person like very outgoing, friendly, etc. he’s always down for doing something, and it’s pretty rare to see him without a smile on his face. 

he’s also quite deceitful though like he’ll lead people on or let people believe that he’s well off when in fact he’s not and yeah he’s not exactly a liar but he leads people to believe things that aren’t exactly true without stating them out loud

he can also be quite inconsiderate like??????? he’s a generally nice guy but he’s very self-centered so sometimes he’ll do stuff and not realize that it may hurt others like he’ll say something without realizing it might be hurtful or, you know, lead people on without realizing it might hurt them

he’s 100% fluent in french and english, and knows a little spanish as well.

he’s actually a pretty pretty good cook but he almost never cooks when it’s just for himself so he’s always ordering food woigejorgjeroge

his favourite artist is stromae, his favourite sports team is the montreal canadiens and he loves apple pie more than any other kind of food

CONNECTION IDEAS

married in vegas: basically a party buddy with whom tristan got married in vegas and they still haven’t gotten a divorce because they find it funny? it would make sense for it to have happened quite recently

squad: i just want him to have a group of people he hangs out with and has like chill wine and cheese soirées with

i feel like he’s a hard character to explain hjgkfdh i swear he’s more fun than this made him sound

he grew up here, in a very bad neighborhood nd in not a great family. his dad has been in jail since before he can remember, his mom was well meaning but unfortunately struggled big time with drugs. he on the other hand was pretty much considered a golden boy up until his adult life

he’d always been the protector and the sweetheart, regarded well by his peers and adults. always had good grades,volunteered, talked to everyone. he really had an amazing underdog story.

when he was 16 his mom died of an overdose and it completely broke his heart, it was kinda a situation where he knew it was inevitable but always hopped he would be able to do something to make it better,  the 16 yr old kid blamed himself nd the feeling has always kinda stuck with him.

his boxing coach sorta took him in, but he still took to not great things like dealing etc to make himself good money. from there the people he hung out with gradually got worse and worse until it was like literally... these ppl r criminals. he got into college with a football scholarship, but then lost it because he was tested positive for drugs, and was forced to drop-out. 

he went a good couple years just working blue collar, fixing cars and doing construction. he just like took a second to calm down and his life started to turn around..... eventually one of his one nights stands turned into his girlfriend and then his wife and he decided to try and make it big in boxing because he’s super good at it -- which he did eventually. 

AND just like that he was back on top, a little all american golden boy who came from nothing story and it when on like this for a couple of years

then his wife died of natural causes and he was jsut like :) oh okay :) and he really didn’t handle it well at all and he had a quick fall in boxing, and became completely self destructive again, thinking like the only time he ever gets hurt is when he’s a good version of himself and honestly he’s just a bitter kinda a man baby about it but i mean like he has gotten shit from life so hjgfkdhgkf

anyways so he never really talks about any of what happened to him obviously, he’s kinda closed off about more personal parts of his life

he’s verrryyyy sarcastic and sardonic, honestly he can kinda come off as a dick i’m not going to lie but it’s honestly just how he is. he’d never be mean to people for no reason or anything but he’s definitely got like..... a more prickly side to him idkkk

although his personality is kinda the embodiment of resting bitch face he’s a very selfless and caring dude, like his first thought is always other people, and he thinks very hard about ways to fix things if people seem upset and stuff 

once you get to know him and once he’s a bit comfy around you he’s like.... a bro???? the kinda guy who’s laughing and telling a wild funny story at the bar with this annoyingly charming smile on his face

he’s very very messed up about his feelings, he lives by the “don’t let anyone know about the good things going on because then the universe will hear and take it away” ideology but like... he also applies that to his feelings... and keeps it from people who are involved in those good feelings so it just ends up being a fatass mess

he’s definitely not the commitment type, not because he’s one of those “uh yeah romance repulsed, aro sex only haha lemme fuck everyone over” guys, he just finds it scary after what happened with his wife and feels like he’s kinda betraying her. so that being said he definitely is not a player, usually  he’s pretty upfront about the fact he’s not looking for anything legit but i’m sure messiness has been bound to happen
