BASIC INFORMATION

CHARACTER NAME — Nathan Crane.

CATEGORY — Antagonistic/Romantic/Complicated.

TYPE OF CONNECTION — Ex-Lover.

CONNECTION NAME — UTP.

CONNECTION AGE — 42 - 46.

SUGGESTED FACECLAIMS — Abigail Spencer, Lupita Nyong'o, Morena Baccarin, Rachael Taylor, UTP.

DESCRIPTION

It was love, though they'd both deny it if pressed. As teenagers, she and Nathan were forced into one another's company by school and family ties. Their relationship began as pure antagonism, both too good at getting under one another's skin and too similar in their stubborn attitudes and ambition. However, in their 20s they finally caved into the tension and began an intense on and off affair which lasted years.

Things ended on bad terms. Nathan's decision to leave New York sparked a disagreement—she couldn't understand why he'd want to give up all that he'd built and he wasn't changing his mind no matter what she said. They haven't spoken since he walked out, but the feelings between them still linger.

BASIC INFORMATION

CHARACTER NAME — Ruairi Macarthy.

CATEGORY — Platonic/Formerly Romantic.

TYPE OF CONNECTION — Ex-girlfriend / mother of his child.

CONNECTION NAME — Margaret "Maggie" Rourke (can be changed if desired).

CONNECTION AGE — 29 - 30.

SUGGESTED FACECLAIMS — Hannah Dodd, Ella Purnell, Lucy Boynton, Florence Pugh, UTP.

DESCRIPTION

Ruairi met Margaret Rourke during his first year at Trinity College in Dublin - they became fast friends as they shared several courses together and had several mutual friends between them. Ruairi was smitten with her almost immediately and though it took Maggie slightly longer to settle into her own feelings they began dating shortly after their first year drew to a close. Theirs was a sweet, comfortable relationship and Ruairi was deliriously happy to be with her; even when she came to him to tell him she was pregnant he was elated, even if that elation was coupled with a healthy dose of nerves. After their son was born Ruairi was convinced that their relationship was cemented and when he followed her home to Illinois he began planning to propose. All of that crumbled in an instant when Maggie walked out on them and Ruairi hasn’t seen her for more than a few minutes at a time in several years in spite of the fact that her parents are still a part of his life through their son. He isn’t certain whether he can ever forgive her for walking out on them but he wants to get comfortable enough to co-parent their son in a way that’s healthy and comfortable for both of them. as of now he thinks that has to be wishful thinking.

In the last handful of months, Ruairi and Maggie have been seeing each other a bit more― they're not quite friends at the moment but they're getting back to a friendlier place, having a lot of hard but much needed conversations, trying to get to a solid foundation for their son's sake.

Ultimately, I'd love for this to be a very important friendship in Ruairi's life― he may not be in love with Maggie any longer at this point but he still loves her very much, still wants her to be there for their son if she's ready to do so, and definitely misses what their relationship was like even before they started dating. Why Maggie left / what she's been doing with herself since they broke up / what made her decide to try to rebuild her relationship with Ruairi -- all of that is completely up for discussion and at the discretion of anyone filling the connection!

CONNECTION NAME — Sylvia (but UTP).

CONNECTION AGE — 42 - 50.

DESCRIPTION

Jia moved to Blue Harbor at the age of 27 to take up a position as a teacher at the local elementary school. She poured her heart into her work, striving to create a safe and nurturing environment for all the kids in her care—something she had longed for but never experienced herself during her own childhood.

It was either through a work-related event or one of her volunteer shifts with Bright Sparks that she crossed paths with the woman who would become her future wife. Despite Jia's initial wariness, she found herself irresistibly drawn to this charming and kind-hearted individual. Their connection grew steadily, blossoming into a deep and loving relationship.

After several years of dating, Jia and her partner decided to get married. Now, they have been married for five years. They've had their ups and downs, and with the amount that both of them work, things might eventually start to wear them down.

The two were on and off for a little over ten years, but ultimately she decided that they both needed to find stability –especially finding out he was expecting a child with someone else. It affected their relationship greatly and the two had a major falling out. They reconnected five years ago when he got primary custody of his daughter.

BASIC INFORMATION

CHARACTER NAME — Damian Escobedo.

CATEGORY — Romantic/Platonic

TYPE OF CONNECTION — Friend with Benefits.

CONNECTION NAME — UTP.

CONNECTION AGE — 30 - 38.

SUGGESTED FACECLAIMS — David Corenswet, Daniel Sharman, Manny Jacinto, Tom Blyth, Dylan O'Brien, Regé-Jean Page, Brian Altemus, Jonathan Bailey, Michael B. Jordan, UTP.

DESCRIPTION

Met when Damian was 21 in Chicago.

They were friends first and only got physical once or twice while drunk and/or high but never mentioned it again. Damian was still very deep in the closet.

They partied a lot together, and he was part of Damian’s alcohol/drug scene (Damian was always more of an alcoholic — you can pick your muse's poison, though).

About seven years ago, they both decided to get clean and sober together after almost losing a friend to a DUI incident.

About six years into their sober journey together (approximately six months ago), they struck up a purely physical relationship, lamenting their limited dating pool as young sober men.

They’re extremely good friends, very close, and clear on the terms of their arrangement. They hardly ever talk about their feelings or love interests outside of each other, but when they do, there’s occasionally a tinge of jealousy. Whether or not they ever acknowledge it is up in the air.

Everything else is completely up to the player, including the name, background, sober journey, etc.
