#soundintro

yooo its about time I pop in here with an intro !! first of all my name’s lily and I’m beyond excited to be apart of this rp. it’s been a while since the last time I rp’d but I’m so ready to get back into the swing of things and introduce y’all to my precious bby stella 

bio

stella’s parents divorced right after she was born so she grew up moving from place to place. she quickly learned that it’s not the place that’s a home; it’s the people she was surrounded by

depression and anxiety tw

her mother has severe depression and stella exhibited signs of having it as well throughout high school and her father noticed. he took stella to see a psychiatrist, who diagnosed her with both depression and anxiety

stella started expressing how she was feeling through songwriting, which helped her not only develop her skills as a musician, but also cope with everything going on in her mind

until recently, she has been an only child. her father remarried and had a second child with his new wife right before stella moved into mulberry. stella and her stepmother have never really gotten along but she’s a sucker for babies so she’s learned to tolerate her in order to spend time with her new baby sister

she dropped out of college to pursue a music career, which both of her parents strongly advised her not to do. ironically, this seemed to be the first thing her parents could ever agree with each other on

personality

before the current generation ruined the term ‘quirky’, that’s pretty much how stella could be described. she doesn’t really fit in anywhere but she likes it that way

she loves to make people laugh, especially when she’s feeling pretty down herself. nothing cheers her up more than being able to do the same for someone else

besides listening to and making music, one of her other fav past times is talking about it with other people and sharing her new fav bops with them

despite being as passionate about music as she is, she often finds herself stuck in a creative slump. when this happens she tends to do really dumb, spontaneous shit either alone or with someone else in order to fuel her creativity again. 

stella has always found it a bit difficult to trust people or open up so  she comes off as stubborn and cold when she realizes that someone is trying to break her out of her shell.

guess who’s back... back again. that’s right the idiot no one asked for, g is in the house to bring you back my sweet baby addie. for those of you who don’t now me (the majority of you), hello my name is g and i was part of this amazing rpg a while back but life punched me in the face. now i’m back and i hope y’all can accept me back. without further ado, let me introduce you to my sunshine, addie:

so she is half french ( on her mother’s side) and half english ( on her father’s side ) but she grew up in a tiny city named peachtree city in georgia.

her parents are…. like, not nice people at all. i’m talking con artists, delinquents, like…. addie grew up with a lot going on in her family. like, to the outsiders they were the perfect family cause they were rich and bougie and all that crap and they would force her to like, do stuff to help them and such  (sister got a dirty past ok), but it did gave her the opportunity to meet a lOT of shady people.

her parents got pregnant when she was like, 7 and she basically raised her brother bc come on, her parents were assholes and she knew the kid didn’t stand a chance alone so she became like, his mom and they have like a very close relationship.

when addie was around 16 and her brother 9 and after years of like, abuse and neglect by her parents, the couple kind of burned down their house?? for insurance money??? (like, some kind of effing scooby doo villains) and addie flee georgia (where she lived her whole life) and moved to baltimore and has been taking care of her brother ever since

probably never finished high school because she had to work to like, feed her brother and all that, and later on after suing her parents for neglect and BURNING THEIR HOUSE DOWN they got to jail and were forced to give some of the money they had to addie and her brother and she opened a b&b.  paints in her free time, gets commissions and stuff whenever she has time. she is like a mother to her little brother and she just loves him so much, he is basically her world and would do anything for that kid.

addie doesn’t really talk about her past unless she is REALLY REALLY close to that person, mostly because she is ashamed of every single part about her past.

has had a couple relationships that never got TOO serious because she is super guarded sometimes, probably got into a shitty relationship at some point, lbr. HOWEVER, there was one (1) relationship that did got serious until she found out the man was ENGAGED TO ANOTHER WOMAN and that left her brokenhearted (there will be wc for that in the main RIP ME)

despite like, everything that has been wrong in her life, she always chooses kindness and love over letting the world get the best of her, because she knows how shitty the world is and she wants better for… everyone, honestly.

she is always soft and nice and warm but has a sharp sense of humor sometimes? shes just so full of love but also fire ( see what i did there? )

as for her dreams, she just wants to be happy and more than anything wants her brother to NEVER go through what she went through with their parents so she just works like a goddamn champ to see him happy. she’s a total mom tho, with whoever crosses her path. however, she can’t help but feel lost about the future? because like, she’s been living for her brother for so long, the future is scary bc she has no meaning and no plans.

basically, if you don’t want to read that, i’ll give you the tl;dr: my sweet baby had a v messy past and had to flee her hometown with her little brother, got money from her parents after getting her parents incarcerated and now owns a b&b and loves painting. she is the mom friend and just…. loves too much, especially her brother. she’s also v lively and loving and quick-witted bc i’m mamma mia trash.

[ kristen stewart, cisfemale, she/her, 25 ] SMALL POPPIES by COURTNEY BARNETT? whenever i hear that song, it reminds me of HENNESSEY RHODES. maybe because they’re ENIGMATIC but also DETACHED. they’ve been living at mulberry apartments since JUNE of 2014 in APARTMENT 206 and have 3 ROOMMATES. ( MOON RIVER , FOOL FOR LOVE , TOURING ) [ elle, she/her, 20, est ]

ok so!! romy is one of my few canadian characters oddly enough??? she was born in montreal but grew up in edmonton of all places. tragic for her, really, that place is the WORST.

anywaY she’s always been a v sporty kid!!! she’s an only child so her parents put her in sports to keep her busy and she had no complaints. she tried a bit of everything but stuck with track and ringette. she eventually gave up ringette tho to put her full ass heart into track. she’s a speedy mother fucker. runners high is her fave thing in the world. 

her whole life was athletics in high school tbh. didn’t do much outside of school other than track? her social life was practically non-existent bc she was basically being seasoned to become a professional athlete to like......she kind of grew to be a lil awkward. never really learned how to properly make friends. kinda kept to herself.

car accident & injury tw! a car accident in senior year left her in the hospital for what felt like forever and ruined her chances at track scholarships for college. bitch fucked up both legs and had never been more miserable. recovery was slow and difficult and physiotherapy was frustrating and she felt like giving up every day. she just wanted to RUN. when everyone went off to college, she was still stuck in her recovery process. it felt like life was passing her by.

her injuries left her stuck in a rut. one thing led to another and she got herself into a LOT of trouble. drug use & addiction tw! she became a pretty heavy drug user. getting high was an escape from her constant misery and self-pity. she literally moved into a trap house with her gf ava and some other randoms....that was just her life. adsjfdfjk. ppl be getting stabbed and shit and she’s just shooting up and forgetting what planet she’s on. classic edmonton stuff. but very tragic.

overdose & death tw! it was only a matter of time before things went even further downhill. she woke up one afternoon to find her girlfriend unconscious. dead thanks to an overdose that romy didn’t ever see coming. it was fucking awful and the shambles of her life fell apart even more, but it kind of knocked some sense into her. she was guilty that it didn’t happen to her instead. lost bc the only person she really cared about was gone. even though their relationship wasn’t necessarily the best, she ceased contact with her parents after graduation so she had no one. but she went crawling back to mom & dad and they accepted her with open arms and saw she got the help she was desperate for.

she got treatment and completed a 90 day program and she’s been sober just over 5 years now!!!!

it was difficult to stay sober in edmonton after treatment. too many triggers lurking around every corner, so she decided to get a fresh start!!! moved to baltimore, got her own place, started to get her life back together. she started running again which rly helped her with avoiding relapse. whenever she feels like she’s in a rut again, she hits the gym or goes for a run.

so.....she’s basically a gym rat now. a health freak. but she loves it. it clears her head and keeps her going and runners high is still her favourite thing. she got rly into boxing as well.

she has a new outlook on life since treatment!!! she feels like she’s been given a second chance and she’s rly about living life to the fullest. she’s optimistic af and doesn’t deny herself little pleasures. 

she obviously doesn’t drink or anything like that but she still enjoys going to bars and dancing and doing karaoke and all that good stuff. she loves a virgin margarita!!!!

even though she’s generally a very kind and helpful gal, she rly is all about keeping negativity out of her life so she isn’t like.....so soft that she’s gonna let u walk all over her u know??? she’ll CANCEL u. 

all things considered she really is a tough gal. she STRONG. a very supportive friend. very protective. she can knock your lights out but probably won’t. stubborn as all hell.

fuckin.....always wearing some athleisure shit??? but the bitch KNOWS how to dress up just u wait and SEE. 

she’s that rly annoying morning person who’s up at like 5am to go for a  run DISGUSTING. every morning. no matter the weather, shes OUT there.

dating is kind of difficult for her??? she’s.....still very much that same awkward gal she’s always been and flirting isn’t her strong suit. she gets v easily flustered and kind of crawls into a shell on dates. she is also kind of closed-minded when it comes to dating tbh??? she misses ava and knows what it’s like to really click and love someone and if she doesn’t feel that instant connection, she isn’t really going to waste her time ig??? if that makes sense. so if she doesn’t feel that ‘spark’ right away she’s not gna keep seeing someone. even tho she really should be out there getting to know people and experiencing new things she’s a major hopeless romantic and she’s waiting for her MOVIE MOMENT that probably will never come

but like....she’s still dated ppl ofc she’s just kinda wary ig

dont waste her time 2k19.

she works as a personal trainer & she’s also an amateur boxer as well!!!!

another bi queen comin at u

i dont really know what else to say so i’ll just stop????

u can find her very empty pinterest board HERE.

[ simay barlas, cisfemale, she/her, 21 ] HANDMADE HEAVEN by MARINA? whenever i hear that song, it reminds me of EMMELINE TATE. maybe because they’re EBULLIENT but also CREDULOUS. they’ve been living at mulberry apartments since DECEMBER of 2018 in APARTMENT 603 and have 1 ROOMMATE. ( HAPPY WORKING SONG by AMY ADAMS and COME AND GET YOUR LOVE by REDBONE )

so – emmeline tate! born in san francisco to renowned sculptor theodore tate and his wife vittoria tate – only child, so you can bet your ass she was spoiled rotten. practically grew up in her dad’s attelier watching him work, which sparked her interest in art; instead of sculpting, though, she’s more of painting type of gal

currently in baltimore bc of college – she’s a junior at maryland institute college of art

def an aesthete – very feminine and all about the fashion– but can also have a very expensive taste and her closet has more chanel pieces than she’d like to admit – especially since she’s trying to stop relying so much on her parents and their money

bc of that decision she’s found herself a job at goose’s pies which is going 👌 👌 👌 so far

has a tendency for falling for every pretty face she sees – incredibly fickle with love, lust, and the rush of headiness that goes along with it. it always wears off in a couple of days, and she forgets about it just as easily

also tends to trust people way too easily; she doesn’t really stop and think if someone’s intentions are good or not. hasn’t been burned by this yet, but it’s only a question of when

can be very affectionate and touchy – doesn’t necessarily mean anything by it, she’s just a very physical person

drinks coffee about three times a day, each with two shots of espresso and three sugars. either a caffeine addict or a diabetic in the making. possibly both

v soft and delicate, pls handle with care

i’m gonna uhhh try not to write an entire novel here but ? i’ve never been successful at stopping myself before so. here we go.

guy is.... a sweetheart. the kind of guy you know always has the right intentions, despite the disastrous outcome of almost any situation he’s involved in. 

he was never the brightest spark in school (an understatement), but he made friends easily and that was more than enough for him. at first his parents pushed and pulled and prodded, but it became clear before he even hit his teens that he was a lost cause to them. 

they stayed civil, but he couldn’t say they were ever close or that he ever learned what the meaning of family was from them. rather, he learned it from the friendships he put his blood, sweat and tears into, and the people around him who were willing to give the same in return. 

he never went without much in terms of materialistic value as a child, with his father bringing in a healthy wage on top of their family’s money. that changed not long after he turned 16, however, when his father’s gambling addiction came to light.

it wasn’t long after that their family declared bankruptcy, their too-large home being downgraded into a place too small to house guy. he understood. he didn’t much enjoy living under their roof anyway, and the couple had a lot to work through together. somehow their relationship has survived to this day, so guy supposes that says something good about them.

guy had a few friends in school that believed they had what it took to make it as a band, and bless them they certainly tried. he dedicated his all to it, busking and sofa surfing to make ends meet. when the lead singer decided to get married and settle down, however, it was clear that guy needed to find a plan B.

at the beginning of last year, guy’s very best friend came to him with her girlfriend and asked for his help in getting pregnant. of course he said yes, and a couple months later and a lot of awkward jack-off sessions in the bathroom, she was pregnant and he was more than happy to sit back and be cool uncle guy.

that didn’t exactly go to plan when the long term relationship between the two girls ended, leaving his best friend heart broken, pregnant and scared.

plan B had found guy with a job at the local grocery store, stacking shelves and helping little old ladies find their way around. it was the kind of job most people would look down on, but honestly he loved every second of it. he still does. and pulling in those extra night shifts was all he needed to get himself and his pregnant best friend a place at mulberry apartments, where they could raise their baby together. co-parenting. 

jade was born a healthy baby girl just a couple weeks after they moved into apartment 113, and she’s changed guy’s entire world. 

she’s beautiful. he is so in love with his little girl, and he can’t now imagine ever having been anything but her daddy. it’s not conventional -- two gay best friends attempting to raise a child together in a small apartment with only minimum wage coming in, but they’re making it work and guy has got a pep in his step everywhere he goes lately. 

all you really need to know is that he looks like a cinnamon roll and is a cinnamon roll

if he asks you a question and you think he’s being sarcastic -- he’s not. he genuinely doesn’t know the answer.

he is a proud daddy and will spam everyone’s snapchat with pictures.

he does the occasional gig on the weekend and lives for it, but he gets a buzz from stacking shelves and talking to random customers too. 

he’s very very friendly. give him all the friends! also very loyal. basically he’s a puppy.

a punk rock skater boi wanna be puppy. 

perseus “percy” ainsworth is trash and i apologize in advance for him. he moved into the apartments literally 1 year ago!! and i will get into WHY in a bit here

his fam is a little based off nate archibald tbh so don’t @ me when u see some similarities in like fam structure i’m just comin’ out and saying it right now!!! and he’s always doin dumb shit like serena sO!! xoxo gg

his father is successful business magnate that usually spent little to no time at home. he would often fly between baltimore and nyc for work. his mother comes from the de loughery family (basically just super old money and percy COULD NOT tell u how they got it all!!). she calls herself a philanthropist, but really just a socialite ok

his parents marriage is a LIE and is really fucked him up when he found out. he flew into their NYC penthouse to visit his dad one weekend and when he got there surprise he was in bed with someone that WAS NOT his mother. the thing that really fucked him up was when he told his mother, she wasn’t angry, wasn’t sad BASICALLY brushed it under the rug and moved on with her life, staying married.

you could say his issues w love and relationships traces back to this day, but percy will tell you that you are dumb as fuck and he couldn’t care less about his parents and what they do

he’s never had a Great relationship with his father and you can bet every time he said “i’m proud of you son” he nutted (this did not happen often) but his mother was always a bit softer with him. she had more time (that’s not saying a lot but) to spend with him, but you can bet she chose her other socialite friends and charity functions over anything to do with percy or his brothers!! still she’s the main reason he still gets such a generous allowance every month

he has two older brothers that have accomplished WAY more in life than him

he’s still close to one of them, but the other.. well here’s why he’s p much exiled from the fam right now.... idk why i’m building it up ok basically percy was sleeping with his oldest brother’s fiancé and it all blew up on The Wedding Day. the tabloids got involved bcos said fiancé & his brother were a v high profile power couple. the wedding was called off and literally all the high profile/big business people had to go home without any wedding happening. SO MUCH MONEY WASTED. V EMBARRASSING FOR THE FAM. hence perseus’ move to mulberry apartments.

does percy feel badly about his actions: yes -- this is good this is a start. has he actually apologized -- no. 2019 all about growing u know.

he’s not awful to be around........... but he is definitely no sunflower

when he’s not being a sarcastic bitch he’s pretty fun esp in any kind of party setting like he is a SOCIAL BUTTERFLY and loves being the centre of attention in a big room like he’s v charasmatic when he wants to be (and this def makes him a lil manipulative)

don’t watch this entire video but the story he tells about getting $10,000 worth of clothes being stolen from him is FOR SURE cannon. if u do watch any part... watch him at 13:05 complaining with A PASSION about his clothes being stolen. 

caspar (goes by cas or casper; only a couple people get to call him cassy and you won’t be one of them) has a beautiful family, if not a little different from most. originally abandoned by his father, he and his birth mother came across a lovely and gentle woman with a daughter -- andy -- of her own, who’d gone through some awful times at the hands of another man. the two bonded fast, and what they expected to be a friendship blossomed instead into a beautiful relationship.

andy, only six months his junior, became his best friend as quickly as she did his sister. the two were so proud to be siblings and were very confused whenever the other children at school would mock them and call them liars. see, caspar and his birth mother are the only white people in their now rather large family. so, with a very white boy and a black sister who shared two mothers, it often became a thing of whispers and rumours around the school.

neither of them cared. they continued not to care when their younger siblings, born from both of their mothers, started ageing through the school system with them.

by the time caspar hit his early teens, he’d become quite the handful. always loving, warm and charming, he was equally rebellious and roguish, reckless with his education and his inability to follow the rules. he was a smart boy, perhaps too smart for his own good, and with a rapidly growing sense of confidence and the help of puberty to earn him some positive attention, it’s a wonder he didn’t get into more trouble than he did. 

he became a bit of a slut as his teen years rounded out. with such an open home environment, he was more than happy to experiment with his sexuality and found himself to fit quite comfortably with the label of bisexual. he was out and proud about it; bullying had never gotten him down before, and he’d be damned if ignorance would get him down now. 

he somehow dragged his ass to college when he turned 18, probably for the party life more than anything else if we’re honest. and it was there that he found his first (and only) real relationship. it was with a beautiful enby who immediately caught his eye. they teased him over his advances for a while, but when they finally came together in unison it was magical. it felt right, like falling into place with them. 

college became much more interesting from then on, especially as he watched in wonder the passion his significant other held for architecture. it wasn’t something cas himself would be good at, he knew that much. but it did inspire him to crack down harder, push himself further, actually use the full potential of his brain for once. 

freshly out of college and in their early-mid twenties, the couple rented a small hole in the wall apartment together to be their very own little love nest. they’d both found work in the same property development company, and everything felt like a dream. a fairy tale. and it stayed that way for a few months.

it was a case of the wrong place, wrong time. they’d dipped into a store to purchase a carton of cigarettes whilst caspar smoked the last of theirs outside. he saw the face of the teenage boy as he bumped shoulders, brushing past him into the shop, not knowing then it would be a moment in time that would haunt him forever after. 

two gunshots sounded that night. he knows that much, but the rest is all a bit of a blur. there was a trial -- he stood witness, though it’s arguable he was in no fit state -- a funeral, a memorial at the shop and at their place of work. none of it felt real, not really. none of it felt real until he decided to move out from their little love nest. sinking to the floor as the door clicked shut behind and sobbing for hours until his sister came to fetch him wasn’t his finest moment, but it was raw and it was true. 

there is no getting over something like that.

skipping forward a little and cas still works for the same company as before, although now he’s thrown himself into his work and made his way up the ladder to be COO of the company and a member of the board. it comes with a lot of money and a lot of responsibility, as well as a fair amount of travelling. he’s made mulberry apartments his base, the place he comes back to between jobs, but he’s never felt any sort of permanence in a home since he left his very first little love nest. 

he’s aiming to either become CEO one day, or to open his own business when he has enough time, experience and money under his belt to be a success. 

as for his personal life.... it took him a while, but nowadays he’s at least recognisable as the same roguish boy he used to be. 

still a major slut of course. more so now than ever, perhaps. it keeps away the thoughts of commitment and numbs him to his abandonment issues. and hey, it’s fun! so that’s a bonus. and it isn’t detrimental to his health. 

still loves his family with his whole entire heart, even if he has put some distance between them since the death of his significant other. his nieces and nephews are fucking adorable and he makes a point to visit them often. 

he’s playful, he’s flirty, he’s a bit hotheaded and reckless at times. definitely a workaholic and likes wine just a little bit too much.
