y'all. i've stolen my brother in law's hulu account and now i can binge rewatch one tree hill! which means i need me some oth inspired plots and ships! to liven it up a bit and take advantage of the awesome setting, we're also gonna layer in some 'rich kids of instagram' feel. 

these bbs are rising juniors at maidstone prep and (with the exception of the lucas) have more money than they know what to do with because of whatever their families have done, and have known each other since they were smoll. they have been attending the prep school for years, with the exception of the lucas (again) who will be transferring in in the fall on scholarship (and starting practices over the summer!). minus lucas, they have enough money to get into and out of just about anything, and they take advantage of that fact. the three popular kids (carson (the nathan), the brooke, and blaire (the peyton)) have been close for years and flaunt making dumb rich kid decisions and stuff together, while thea (the haley) and the lucas have been separately close for years and are quite a bit more toned down. we aren't planning to stick exact to the oth plot, but would like to keep general personality traits and relationships intact.

carson and the lucas are half brothers, and have always been rivals! their father chose carson and his family, and the lucas grew up in eastleigh with his single mother, who worked hard to make ends meet. the lucas and thea have been bffs for years and have while thea's family places her well into the elite world of maidstone, she’s more comfortable with the lucas, which has only made them closer. blaire and the brooke have a bit of an opposites attract friendship, but a very strong one none the less. they’e been friends since childhood, and can’t imagine that changing any time soon. the lucas has harbored a crush on blaire for years, but has never acted on it. carson and blaire are currently together, and have been in a tumultuous, on-again-off-again relationship for what seems like forever. 

this year, however, everything is going to change. the lucas has always been a talented athlete (basketball) and earned an athletic scholarship to maidstone for the fall term - with the help of a little influence from the rhodes family. the rivalry flares to epic proportions, and the stakes and the drama ramp up. carson will makes it his mission to get close to thea to get at the lucas, but neither count on developing the feels. blaire will finally starts to notice the lucas, and their chemistry is off the charts. what starts with banter leads to ignoring their curiosity about each other, leads to realizing that despite their first impressions, they could be something real. brooke throws her hat in the ring with just about everyone, but eventually starts to grow and mature and find herself, and become and amazing young woman and another confidant for thea.

THE NATHAN SCOTT - carson cole, 16, hayes hrier, played by erin 

big man on campus. arrogant and charismatic. under quite a bit more pressure than he lets on. lucas’ half brother - the prince. currently dating blaire - badly. 

THE LUCAS SCOTT - first last, 16, open fc 

talented underdog. introverted good guy who sometimes gets carried away. has a lot to prove. Lives with his single mother in a modest eastleigh apartment above the cafe she owns. met thea through the cafe  when they were kids and clicked - besties. arson’s half brother - the pauper. crushing on blaire hard. 

THE HALEY JAMES - thea rhodes, 16, kaia gerber, played by kay 

girl next door type. intelligent and clear headed. much more likely to let her emotions get away from her than she lets on. platonic soulmates with lucas, avoids the rest of them. willing to give people more chances than the deserve. 

THE PEYTON SAWYER ‐ blaire last, 16, brec bassinger, reserved for ash 

tortured artist disguised as an it girl. looking for more than this shallow life. definitely damaged. Currently dating carson - badly. best friends with brooke. will start noticing the lucas soon enough. the first to be friendly to thea.

THE BROOKE DAVIS - first last, 16, open face 

grace raina joshi

              twenty five  |  emt, barista, medical student | west mersea

                                 trigger warning: familial death, war violence, ptsd

born and raised in a house in suburban rye. second-generation indian american  - mother and father, who moved to stackhouse after they got married to get away from the st. mawes hustle and bustle. can cook delicious food and celebrates major holidays, but not all that in touch with her culture otherwise. was a baby sister until a month ago, now not sure what she is now.

wicked smart, hard working, kinda intense tbh. pushes herself to excel and tends to define herself by her academic prowess. graduated valedictorian from high school, attended harvard on a partial scholarship for undergrad and then harvard med after that. spent most summers and breaks working on internships or taking classes or doing research, but always came home when her brother did.

introvert. neurotic. prone to over-analyzing and over-thinking everything. shy, but very loyal. loves color coding, alphabetizing, and labeling. has a low tolerance for visual disorder. hyper-organized, likes to control her environment especially when she can’t control other aspects of her life. comes out of her shell with the people she’s close to, and in her professional life.

feels things strongly despite her somewhat analytical nature. gets her thoughts out better on paper than in words. letter writer. care package sender. skype aficionado. tea drinker. cat lover.

no longer a baby sister. big brother danny was pretty much her best friend, he enlisted in the army at eighteen (grace was fourteen) and spent most of his time deployed. always came home to spend time with her on leaves. was her first military pen pal and recipient of many baked goods and other presents. unit was decimated in a mission that went bad in late august. is absolutely devastated.

dropped out of school a week after his funeral - despite being one summer away from the final year of med school. feels like a failure but just couldn’t handle it. showed up crying at her best friend’s door with a suitcase and a broken heart, begging for a place to stay. knew her parents would welcome her back but can’t imagine living in the house where she grew up with danny.

wrote many soldiers in danny’s units; including a young man named “luke”. has always refused to define what they are, but he’s probably the only boy she’s ever loved. assumes he died in the attack. hasn’t allowed herself to think about losing him too. danny takes up too much room. involved in the local va and advocates for vets.

holds herself to her word. doesn’t do well with problems without solutions. considers friendships sacred. grief makes her selfish so she’s isn’t the easiest to be around right now. slowly putting herself back together. hoping coming home will help her get her life back together.

stacey lynn stone

               twenty seven-ish | busker, freelance photographer, future lounge singer |  gravesend

                                trigger warning: teen pregnancy and mentions of abortion, drug use and abuse, neglect

part of a big adopted / foster family, and adores them all, she was actually born in la to a teen mom from a trashy family in rye or st. mawes, who got kicked out when they found out she was pregnant. her momma ran away and was homeless in the city and got into drugs pretty hard. she was neglected most of her childhood and lived in flophouses and shelters and on the street until she was six she was removed from her mother’s custody and placed into foster care.

for the next few years she bounced around for a while  (ran away a lot and was generally a bit of a problem) before she ended up with the big old adoptive family. they’re decently well off and have a whole gaggle of adopted kids, and they’re super supportive and loving. she was rebellious as a teen and she’s probably got undiagnosed reactive attachment disorder but we don’t have to talk about that.

she went to college in la for music and tried to be a famous musician for a while but it never took off. so she spent most of her early-mid twenties traveling up and down the coast being super bohemian and busking and drinking and smoking and sleeping around to have places to crash and taking stupid risks.

she’s super flaky and disappearing whenever things get hard is known as “pulling a stacey” in her social circle. but she’s also hella loyal and very protective of her people. you just might not hear from her for a couple weeks / months and then she’ll show up and want to crash on your couch. she supports herself with random odd jobs but once she shows back up in town she’ll get a job as a lounge singer at a cabaret. she’s promiscuous and often seems shallow, and she has a penchant for setting the world on fire and leaving ashes behind her.

                              “ I’m a wandress. I’m a one night stand. Don’t belong to no city, don’t belong to no man. I’m the violence in the pouring rain. I’m a hurricane. “

her mother’s baby brother who’s eight -ten years older than she is who lives locally (as do her grandparents) who she’s v estranged from. He loves her and has tried to be in her life since he turned eighteen but she’s spurned him every time because she’s trash. #angst

trash prince boything (colton haynes fc)

super dysfunctional who’s even more of a mess than she is who she messes around with and likes to piss off and is definitely not exclusive with but gets hella jelly when he messes around with anyone else. and eventually they’ll develop feels and have some crises and end up actually being good for each other. Way down the line after they’re done being super toxic. #angst

cabaret owner (john barrowman fc) 

thea marie rhodes

                          sixteen | high school junior, tutor | gateshead

the mayor’s daughter, youngest in a family with three wives and a million kids. loves them all the same; aka a whole heck of a lot.  decently in the public eye but handles it with poise.

kind of a princess. loves puns and dadbands. steals her brothers’ bath products. idolizes her mother. a little sheltered. dresses impeccably trying not to look expensive. v smol, v precious cinnamon roll.

just sort of an average (if somewhat lame) high schooler, i guess? very driven and focused on her future and invested in being the best person she can be and making her fam proud. a little introverted, but a sweetie.

plays the cello and reads too many books and goes sailing and follows her heart pretty well. tutors through the school and is serious about helping everyone to do well and gets excited whenever someone makes progress. is in ap classes and too many clubs.

mature for her age and often acts like a mini-adult. doesn’t rebel or act out. self-confident and self aware, but hasn’t really taken risks or pushed her limits enough to fully know who she is. needs to do some exploring, but is too wrapped up in her goals and her plans and the consequences of her actions.

generally down to earth. tries to be ~above high school drama, but secretly wonders how the other half lives and what she’s missing by being so settled and composed and put together. does have a whimsical streak she goes out of her way to indulge, but can be kinda boring.

loves st. mawes and rye and doesn’t plan to ever leave. eats up all the quaint small town ambiance and the never ending town-wide celebrations. knows the town like the back of her hand.

passionate and open, not afraid to be herself, even if she isn’t entirely sure who that is yet. needs to detach her feet from the ground a bit of she really wants to follow her dreams.

is a shirt off her back friend, and will step up to help someone in need, regardless of their relationship with her. just good.
