✦ NATHALIE EMMANUEL, CISFEMALE, SHE/HER ✦ ELENA BRADSHAW the THIRTY-ONE year old has been in Hidehill for THREE YEARS and was a STRANGER to Carter Thompson, one of the shadows. Whispers on the streets are that the BASSIST AT CADILLAC LOUNGE who lives in HIDE SQUARE are said to be DETERMINED and IMPULSIVE but I guess we’ll find out for ourselves.
FULL NAME: elena marie bradshaw NICKNAMES: el, lena, bradshaw AGE: 31 / july 11th, 1992 GENDER & PRONOUNS: cisfemale, she/her FACECLAIM: nathalie emmanuel HEIGHT: 5’7” SEXUALITY: unlabeled OCCUPATION: bassist at cadillac lounge
( tw: drug use )
elena marie bradshaw grew up in a family full of expectations, of dreams, specifically real estate dreams. her father is a ceo of a realty company. since she was a child, he was full of dreams for her, slowly building her up as someone like him one day. he would always take her to charity balls, fundraising ceremonies, and every party, gathering or celebration that you could think of that’s related to his business. he wanted her to know what’s it like to be the ceo, the boss. but he never bothered to ask elena what she really wanted. the girl realized at a very young age that she wanted to be a singer, to share her songs to the world, to travel and meet new people. she was watching a musical performance of a band at this charity ball her and her parents went to that one time. she felt the performers’ adrenaline by just watching them on stage, and she wanted to feel it too someday, she wanted to be up there too. but then she knew her father would be disappointed, so she did keep it to herself for years, doing the things he would want for her, went to college and took up business right after she graduated high school, and kept her promise to him—she would always make him proud.
however, she knew her heart wasn’t really into it, she wanted to write songs and perform it in front of everyone, to share her story and captivate the hearts of people. on her second year she left the school without him knowing to achieve her dreams, even though she knew it would break his heart, not doing what she really wants was killing her slowly. the day she left was also the day she went to audition to xfactor with her closest friends, ones who understood and knew the feeling she had kept to herself for years so well. the news immediately reached her father, and that was when he cuts off communication with her. despite that, her mother continued reaching her, sometimes sending her money without her father knowing, and helping her with the things she needs. in a blink of an eye, femme fatale was on top of the world, with their music being heard anywhere they go. it was all she dreamt of, and elena thought that was it. that was it, for years, and the pressure of staying there was something she didn’t show to the other girls, and eventually she learned to cope with things that strayed her path, slowly but surely.
at first, elena would only use to calm her nerves down, disappearing at least thirty minutes before their performances and would come out, a little light and loose than her usual uptight self, and it would help, nobody would notice a thing, until eventually, for the last two years as they were on tour for their fifth tour, the façade started to crack, and elena was losing control. it was somehow like dominoes, slowly falling piece by piece, until the woman could not hide it herself anymore. during one of their performances, elena had lost her balance and had to be taken away from the stage by management themselves. it was the last time the girls had seen her as she was promptly taken to rehab, not one person knowing what happened to her, not even the girls, even to this day, it has been a question left unanswered.
what happened to elena bradshaw?
elena stayed in rehab for a year, and when she got out, instead of giving at least the girls the explanation they’ve deserved, she decided to go to hidehill, and act like those years of her life did not exist. she has been working at cadillac lounge for three years now, playing the guitar or bass for their performers here and there.

✦ DANIELLE CAMPBELL, CISFEMALE, SHE/HER ✦ PAISLEY DUNCAN the TWENTY SEVEN year old has been in Hidehill for ONE MONTH and was a STRANGER to Carter Thompson, one of the shadows. Whispers on the streets are that the ER HEAD DOCTOR AT HIDE GENERAL who lives in HARLOW ESTATES are said to be PASSIONATE and STUBBORN but I guess we’ll find out for ourselves.
FULL NAME: dr. paisley duncan, m.d. NICKNAMES: pais, duncan, dunk AGE: 27 / august 2nd, 1996 GENDER & PRONOUNS: cisfemale, she/her FACECLAIM: danielle campbell HEIGHT: 5’3” SEXUALITY: bisexual OCCUPATION: ER head doctor
tw: abandonment
paisley duncan was born august 2nd, 1996 in a very privileged family, her parents, edward and piper duncan, are owners of a widely-known vineyard supplying not just many known businesses not just in the country but around the world, but also the royal family. the duncans have always been raised to be prim and proper, but it was paisley, the oldest of the bunch, who is considered to be the black sheep of them all. but it wasn’t always like that, until her sibling was born and all the attention was on them instead. it was like she was expected to be abiding to the family’s rules yet at the same time, they do not care that much as they used to be with her anymore. that’s why she went against the family’s wishes, not caring if they wanted her to inherit the vineyard someday, instead, she took up a path of her own, packed her things and moved to a safe distance away from them, but not too far. she hasn’t told much people, even her family, but paisley always wanted to be a doctor, have a way to help people as she always dreamt of to begin with.
to start, she took up bachelor of science in human health and technology in the imperial college of london, of course, even if her parents did not agree with most of her decisions, they still decided to fund for her studies, but not because they support her, it was because they had a reputation to uphold, and at the same time, they wanted to prove paisley wrong for being able to survive on her own, achieve her goals, yet of course, as she was progressing, graduating from her pre-medical course and continuing to medical school, that’s when they realized, maybe paisley does not belong to where they’ve always wanted her to be all this time. yet it was too late, the aspiring doctor had been so distant that it was almost dead silent from her end, regardless of the fact that they were still sending her money for her studies.
after she graduated from medical school, the woman then took up the medical residency program, and that’s where she meets and got close with one of the other aspiring doctors taking up the program as well, of course, usually it was kind of a tight ship there, but with the two hitting it off instantly made things bearable for paisley. she didn’t like having a shoulder to lean on, but they made it so easy, cracked the hard exterior she’s always had growing up and before she knew it, the man had a hold of her heart. if she were to think about it, they are her first and greatest love, though she would never admit that out loud, spending times in on-call rooms, either giving each other a pop quiz, arguing about anything and everything, or just talking about their days, one finding the other taking a nap in the supply closet, to them hanging out outside of the hospital, those turning into dinner, into them basically realizing that they’re in love with each other. of course, they tried to make it work, but with the lines of their personal and professional relationship blurred out over the years from them being just residents to her going up the ranks and eventually paisley being the head doctor of the ER, paisley thought their relationship isn’t going to work anymore, hence to her ending up things with him after one of their shifts, even herself not knowing the reason why she had done such thing.
that was when at the same time she has met jonathan brown, or JJ, as she would prefer calling him, who was at first, she has always said would be impossible for her to fall for, given the reason that she wanted to fully focus on her growing career, but then the feeling he brings her is a force that she couldn’t stop, and eventually, along the way, she didn’t just care for the man who has gone through such a tough time because of his father, she has also unwittingly gave her heart to the man and the rest was history, her life was great, she was prospering with her career and her love life, until the latter suddenly crumbled and he disappeared from her life, which whenever she thought about it, it was karma from what she had done sometime before. for the past two years she’s always thought about it, until one day she finds herself handing her resignation and packing her things, to go to that place JJ has always mentioned to her about, and searched for him.
but now that paisley has found him, she doesn’t really know how to feel, never has she ever approached him, and would always turn away whenever he gets close. so…the woman is stuck in a town she does not know much of for the man who doesn’t know they’re in such a smaller world now.

✦ DANIELLE SAVRE, CISFEMALE, SHE/HER ✦ NICOLA BECKETT SLOANE the THIRTY-TWO year old has been in Hidehill for HER WHOLE LIFE and was a STRANGER to Carter Thompson, one of the shadows. Whispers on the streets are that the HEAD SECURITY DETAIL OF LA VELA who lives in HIDE SQUARE are said to be OPEN MINDED and UNRELENTING but I guess we’ll find out for ourselves.
FULL NAME: nicola sloane née beckett NICKNAMES: nic, nicky AGE: 32 / november 15th, 1990 GENDER & PRONOUNS: cisfemale, she/her FACECLAIM: danielle savre HEIGHT: 5’6” SEXUALITY: pansexual OCCUPATION: head security detail of la vela
(tw: death, murder)
the oldest of the beckett children, nicola, her life had been as normal as it could be, a woman loved and cherished by her parents, with her dreams supported every step of the way with the best that they could, her successes, failures, every bump and turn of the road. they have protected her their whole life, at the same time, has exposed her to how the world vastly changes by the second, having her run along the pace, afraid that she might be able to catch up. at the same time, nicola has been protective of her younger sister, savannah, the two were inseparable, but had different views of their parents. as they were hands on with nicola, they somehow had been different with the other. she realized it at a young age, and in her own ways, nicola tried to fill in the gaps that were left by their parents, though, she knew that a sister’s love is incomparable with the love of their parents, so she only understood the way that savannah had been.
they have lived in harlow estates most of her life, and they wanted to get their daughter out of there, have a future entirely different from theirs, do the things that she’s dreamt for her life. different that it came to the point that they have made sure she has crossed paths with the man she was going to love. a friend who owed one to her father before he moved away, lauren sloane. a number of years older than her, she defied her first, a lot. they would be in a verbal tussle, with her only winning a handful of times. nevertheless, the two have bonded unexpectedly well, she learned a lot from her not just about her soon-to-be love of firefighting, but also the woman herself. beneath the authority she would always show, it was the charm under it that she had unexpectedly dug and got pulled by it.
the woman has been accepted into the fire academy by herself, regardless of having her, she didn’t want to abuse the connection they have, yet she wanted to learn from lauren, knowing how she was loved and respected by a lot of firefighters, she wanted to work for and gain that kind of respect by herself, in which he had observed. she had this amount of optimism in her, no matter how hard and rigorous her training was, plus the fact that there was still discrimination towards women firefighters, she had battled through that and achieved her dream.
along with it, nicola’s love for lauren inevitably grew, with how much she supported her and believed in her throughout the way
“i was really ready to spend the rest of my life with you, lauren sloane.”
everything has been arranged, a small celebration to commemorate their union, members of their family and friends have gathered to where the two have first met. she was ready to face this chapter of her life. the woman had volunteered to pick her up along with her from their home, whilst the rest of the guests waited at the venue. hours went by, everyone grew worried, and less and less of being optimistic. it wasn’t long before one of her close friends received a phone call and discovered the tragic fate they met.
“at least i get to spend the rest of mine with you, nicola beckett.”
the sloane couple got obliterated by the accident in a split second, though lauren did her best to fight, with everything she had left in her. she was still able to get nicola out of the car, and was still able to look at her, aware, not anymore denying of where this was about to go, that she was not going to last long. she took his last breath with a kiss for the woman, who still held on to her to the end.
along with the loss of lauren, she lost her parents too, just as her sister was making her way back to hidehill, and instead of a wedding she was going to arrive to, it was the funeral of their parents.
nicola had to lose everything to gain everything, oblivious to the fact that the tragedy wasn’t much of an accident after all, it was a cover-up of something that would’ve destroyed lauren’s squeaky-clean reputation if it were to come out, something she hasn’t been honest about with nicola when she was still alive.
nicola didn’t last long working in a place where she was much connected to lauren the most, though it took years before she eventually handed in her resignation and looked for something else, focus on things where she didn’t have to see her everywhere she looked, and that was where she found la vela, along with it, andi, who immediately hired her and now she’s working as head of security detail of the club.

✦ MANNY JACINTO, CISMALE, HE/HIM ✦ EMMANUEL VASQUEZ the THIRTY-ONE year old has been in Hidehill for ONE WEEK (HE GREW UP IN HIDEHILL) and was a STRANGER to Carter Thompson, one of the shadows. Whispers on the streets are that the BUSINESSMAN who lives in HOVE LAKE are said to be IMPULSIVE and RESOURCEFUL but I guess we’ll find out for ourselves.
FULL NAME: emmanuel luis vasquez NICKNAMES: emman AGE: 31 / June 13th, 1992 GENDER & PRONOUNS: cismale, he/him FACECLAIM: manny jacinto HEIGHT: 5’11” SEXUALITY: pansexual OCCUPATION: businessman
tw: abandonment, death
emmanuel vasquez is an illegitimate son of bernardo vasquez and his sole heir to his holdings company. his mother was a sex worker and met his father during those times when he found out that his wife cannot bear a child. the man obviously did not take the situation well. you can guess what happened next and the mess he and his mother got into. his mother decided not to involve him with such things anymore so she decided to settle down in hidehill and hide there with her son.
he grew up knowing a lot about cars because of his stepfather, they would spend their weekends together fixing that one car he has in the garage. everything was as simple as typical families in movies, with a growing conflict on the side. his dad made a deal with the mob, because he only wanted a better future for his family, especially his stepson whom he treated as his own. his stepfather started getting involved in illicit deals, smuggling cars, and using some of his cars to transport dead bodies of people who betrayed them. but then things went sideways, when the mob discovered that emmanuel is bernardo vasquez’s son, they attempted to manipulate his stepfather into using him as a way to steal their money. he didn’t comply, resulting in them killing him that one night.
everything went spiral since that, emmanuel became distant from his mother when they were the only ones left, but he never failed to step in and provide the way his stepfather would, meaning not in such a clean way. he would lie to his mother that he’s waiting tables, or as a convenience store crew, but his job wasn’t anything close to that. he went along the path his stepfather would not want him to go, but for him it was the only thing that could help. emmanuel started small with the petty theft, robbing a store, those small jobs you could think of when you’re in a mob.
years later, his mother died, because of the heartbreak she kept for so long since his stepfather left them. he felt like he didn’t have purpose anymore, which led him only focus on being part of the mob as their fighter, also working as a mechanic on the side, since he didn’t want to forget the things that his stepfather taught him when he was still alive. he still never stopped fixing that car, that remaining thing which makes him feel closer to his stepfather. never once he thought of his real father, but when it’s being brought up, he always dodges the topic. so never mention him, or ever call emmanuel by his last name, because you might regret that.
the need to survive came to play not so long after and he was forced to reconnect with his father and be part of his company, and was forced to leave hidehill to come with him to new york and start working under his wing.
it has been years now until the young emman who is now a businessman heard about the murders going on in town, in which instead of deciding to stay where he was, he did everything he could and begged his father to let him come back, return to the place where he felt himself the most.

                “𝐈  𝐚𝐦  𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐲 ,  𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 ,  𝐛𝐮𝐭  𝐈  𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐞  𝐬𝐚𝐲  𝐢𝐭’𝐬  𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝  𝐟𝐨𝐫  𝐦𝐞.”
( little women , saoirse ronan , she/her, cis woman ) ⋮ the census states that JOSEPHINE ‘JO’ MARCH has been living in town limits for TWO MONTHS . it makes sense the HUMAN can be found hanging around ELOISE’S BOOKSHOP .  SHE must be close to TWENTY-SIX by now , do you think they’re still as OBSTINATE as they were before ? i overheard they DO  remember everything leading up until their arrival . nothing reminds me of them quite like BULLET POINTS ON A RESTAURANT NAPKIN, WONDERING WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN, INK STAINED FINGERTIPS.  
i. much to her chagrin and what had since become a running joke regarding her own luck, even in this life she wasn’t born with a silver spoon. in fact, the present is almost a mirror of her past : her father’s rotten luck had ( yet again ) led them to financial ruin.
ii. despite that, ( and since kind of being used to it anyway ) she’d grown up with fond childhood memories, most of them shared with her sisters. 
iii. as for now ( since no one has applied for her sisters (( i’m begging though )) i’m assuming that she’d grown up with meg and amy. ( for dramatic purposes ) beth was out of what could’ve been the perfect family portrait. her sister’s death ( from the past ) had shaken her to her core and even now she had never got over it. yet, she’s still hoping to meet/find her sister ( i’m here for a dramatic reunion ... ). truth to be told, she is rewriting the novel ( inspried by her sisters ) she has published back then as she is hoping to rewrite beth’s story.
iv. unfortunately, her attempts of publishing her stories, well, remain unrewarded and she’s pretty much trying to make ends meet. huggling her writing career, taking clases and probably working some underpaid jobs. 
v. she likes to believe that her personality has toned down due to her maturing but the truth is,  most of the times she’s too tired due to stress. she’s that kind of person who falls asleep on the bus and has to be kicked out by the bus driver - she probably has a reputation ...
vi. when she’s not busy, she mostly spends her time in some book store or cafe, hunched over her laptop ; the kind of laptop which takes 102292 hours to boot , is super loud when you load one single file, and probably crashes down when you open 5+ windows, that is why she’s still mostly writing everything down.

INTRODUCING: RÜYA SEREN
full name: rüya almira seren
nickname(s): none really, though her mother called her kâbus - which means ‘nightmare’ in turkish (her name, rüya means dream)
birthday & age: april 1, 1990 (32)
zodiac sign: aries
place of birth: new york city, ny
gender & pronouns: cis female, she/her
sexual orientation: bisexual
religion: atheist / former sunni muslim
occupation: bartender at crane brothers llt & the jagged yard
language(s) spoken: english, and very little turkish (though she doesn’t speak it very well, she understands it perfectly)
neighborhood: downtown
length of time in providence peak: just returned after being away for two months (was here for about a year and a half before then)
Hi babes! I’m back at it again with character #2 and I blame both Ashley and Taylor for the mess that is Rüya causing chaos on your dash. Once again, I’m not going to subject anyone to the 2,700+ word bio that I didn’t proof read or check for spelling on, so I’m gonna do some quick facts below! Please note that I’m about to list the trigger warnings for this bio and it sounds heavy af but trust and believe Rüya’s past is a bit dark but Rüya herself is pure bright af chaos. Trigger warnings for murder, blood, drugs, cancer, crime, death.
QUICK TLDR; From Brooklyn, found her father murdered at 12 years old, mom blamed her for dad’s death and they have a very strained relationship that consists of mostly fighting, has moved around a bit, lived in baton rouge the longest outside of nyc, moved home to take care of her sick mom, ended up living with old hs friends who were involved in some shady shit, got caught selling drugs and became a narc, was really bad but also really fucking good at it and got one of her agents shot once whoops, moved to PP six months ago once her mom was declared in remission and the ex roomies were sentenced; is pure chaos, hates being alone, loves to have a good time, and will judge you based off of your drink order. moved back to nyc two months ago when her mom’s cancer came back. her mom has since died and rüya is much more of a mess than before she left 🙃
Born & raised in Brooklyn, NYC
4th Generation Turkish-American
Doesn’t speak Turkish fluently but can understand it v well
Used to be a practicing Sunni Muslim - intermittingly wearing a head scarf (always during prayer more often than not outside of that), going to midday mosque on Fridays, prayed daily (when she started school it wasn’t 5 times a day but 3))
Had a hard time trying to combine her Turkish and American cultures- was raised in NYC and her parents were 3rd gen Americans but were still tied closely to their heritage - Rüya not so much, but she was trying
When she was 12 she was finally allowed to go to her first boy/girl party (wasn’t the first she was invited to but the first her parents allowed her to attend) - however her mom forgot they were supposed to be in Turkey for a wedding that weekend when she agreed to let her go
Rüya kind of threw a fit? Not wanting to go to the wedding and wanting to go to the party - essentially argued that she’d been to plenty of weddings in Turkey and this was the first party she’d been allowed to go to, plus they’d already told her she could go and she’d already gotten the present
Her parents relented because she was right, they’d told her she could go and the money for the gift was spent already, she hadn’t actually met the groom (the family member that was getting married), and they had just enough frequent flyer miles to cover her mom’s round trip ticket
The party turned into a girls only sleepover once the boys left and Rüya spent the night while her dad enjoyed some alone time at the house
When she came home the next day she found the front door open and her father bludgeoned to death in the living room with their house having been gone through and various valuables stolen
Turns out her father surprised a pair of home invaders who beat him to death when he confronted them about being in their home
She called 911 and stayed with her grandparents until her mom was able to make it home the next day
A month after her father’s funeral, Rüya lost touch with her faith, a decision made in anger but one that hasn’t been reversed. She essentially turned her back on religion because she was unable to understand how Allah could allow this to happen
Her father’s death was the catalyst for her and her mother’s relationship falling apart. Her mom, in her grief, said some things to Rüya that couldn’t be taken back
Mom blamed Rüya’s selfishness in wanting to go to the party for her father’s death, essentially telling the 15 year old that had she just done what was expected of her and gone to Turkey as a family her father would still be alive - that guilt has weighed heavily on her ever since
Her mom pulled closer to their Islamic faith after her father’s death, which caused a further divide
As she got older and her mother became more strict and Rüya pushed back, her mom started to call her Kâbus, or nightmare
Because of her rift with her mom, once Rüya turned 18 she left home. She crashed on a few couches of various family members/friends in NYC before leaving the city after a year (she’d saved up from working various odd jobs in the hospitality industry)
Moved to another city/state for two years with her significant other at the time (place is def open so if anyone wants to take this up as a wc 👀)
Broke up with said significant other (idk why she’s a mess) and moved to Austin, TX where she met @verdadurmaz​ while bartending at a popular college bar
Moved to Baton Rouge, LA w/ Ver until she was 26 when Ver moved to Cali and she went back to NYC bc her aunt told her her mom was sick
Moved in with some old HS friends who happened to be dealing/involved in some shady shit while she bartended at night and (begrudgingly) took care of her mom during the day
Got into a bit of trouble while back in NYC, probs had a few run ins with the law~ ended up becoming an (arguably difficult and bad) CI on her roommates and their lil operation~
Anyways her mom got better and she decided up and nope out of NYC bc they were fighting more than ever and the case against her old roommates had wrapped up. Called Ver and moved to PP
Was here for a year and a half p much, causing general chaos and resentment before she dipped bc her mom got sick again
Her mom was a lot more sick than she realized when she showed up - her mom, nasty as every to Rüya, and she died a month ago
Cleaned out her mom’s home (her childhood home) and sold it after the funeral before coming back
Is in a downward spiral because of her mom’s death and her ex (who she sent to prison whoops) coming back into her life (and following her to Colorado) so ya girl is losing it
Please see below for some wanted connections! These are in no way an extensive list and I do love to plot things out- especially angst. So pls come to me!!
Friends from New York/Baton Rouge
Neighbors - People who get angry at her for playing her music too loud at 3am (she’s a big night owl), People who she’s grown close to and they used each other’s apartments as extensions of their own homes (I love this plot a lot so pls), a neighbor who pretends to be her boyfriend when she can’t get a one night stand to leave (and she returns the favor obvs) - rn she lives with Verda
Regulars - People she serves regularly at either of the bars she works at. They could find her chatty nature obnoxious or she could serve as their bartender therapist ya know?
Hook Ups/One Night Stands/FWB - Pretty self explanatory
Ex from her first move - They dated in New York for a few months before moving to a whole new state together and staying together for another two years. Rüya ended the relationship because it never felt right to her, so there could be some animosity there
Chaos Pals - Honestly, she enjoys letting lose by drinking too much/dabbling in recreational drugs and she’s not going to apologize for it tbh, especially now. Her “dabbling” is rather constant so she’s in an altered state more often than not these days
Taco Tuesday Buddy - Taco Tuesday is her religion tbh and this could be someone she has a standing ‘date’ with every week to get tacos, have margs, and just hang out/catch up
Enemies/Annoyances - Rüya can be... a lot. She’s incredibly chatty and nosy and can absolutely rub people the wrong way upon first meeting so feel free to have your character annoy/dislike her!
I’m lazy so stuff from this list or this list. They all sound fun tbh!

I feel like the Hbomberguy plagiarism video has a lot of really good lessons about building an argument. Like, the thesis of the video isn't just "Plagiarism is rife on Youtube", although that point was certainly well made, it was specifically about James Somerton, who isn't mentioned until about halfway through the video. Before then, Hbomb goes through several creators who are already widely discredited as plagiarists, and in each section he introduces concepts that are later incorporated into the final takedown of Somerton, but each section also stands on it's own. Like, he starts with Filip, the game reviewer, which he uses to introduce the format of how he will discuss and expose plagiarists. Specifically, the graphic of displaying the source material while the plagiarist's voice plays, and marking up said source material every time the plagiarist changes some wording slightly. This is the method that Hbomb uses across the entire video. With Illuminaughtii, Hbomb introduces a few major concepts 1) The idea of Insufficient citation. Illuminaughtii "Cites" her sources by putting a plaintext pastebin link in her video descriptions with no indication of how each source was used. Technically, her source is CITED, but not in any relevant or useful way. She has a big list of stuff she read, and a random youtube link in there happens to be the source that she stole 90% of the video from. 2) He introduces the profit motive behind this approach. Putting out a lot of content very quickly is how one builds an audience, and therefore an income, out of making stuff on youtube. Plagiarism of this sort is a way to produce content very quickly and build a following. The Internet Historian section introduces two new concepts:
1) The behavior of an exposed plagiarist, taking down and reuploading videos with minor changes, awkwardly trying to insert credit without admitting guilt. 2) That the plagiarists are stealing not just research, but STYLE. Previous sections go over how the plagiarists are reusing the same words, but this section oozes over how much of the final product's quality was the result of how well the source material was written. TIH didn't just crib the notes from the Mentalfloss article, he created a video heavily dependent on the original author's skill as a writer. When TIH tried his own hand at presenting the same set of facts, it came out much worse. So that when the time comes for the Somerton takedown, Hbomb has already laid the groundwork to bring these concepts back. Somerton takes down and reuploads videos when he's caught, he declares this his video is "based on" work by somebody else without providing proper citation. He's not just stealing research done by somebody else, he's taking their insights and talent as a writer and regurgitating it as his own, and he's doing so to churn out a vast wall of content that he can financially benefit from, and he doesn't need to tell you why this is important, because he's already done so. He already convinced you that Illuminaughtii hiding a line in a pastebin didn't excuse her plagiarism, so you don't need to be told why Somerton saying his video is "Based On" somebody else's book doesn't excuse it.

✦ CHLOE BENNET, CISFEMALE, SHE/HER ✦ PAISLEY DUNCAN the TWENTY SEVEN year old has been in Hidehill for ONE DAY (SHE JUST GOT BACK) and was a STRANGER to Carter Thompson, one of the shadows. Whispers on the streets are that the ER DOCTOR AT HIDE GENERAL who lives in HARLOW ESTATES are said to be PASSIONATE and STUBBORN but I guess we’ll find out for ourselves.
FULL NAME: dr. paisley duncan, m.d. NICKNAMES: pais, duncan, dunk AGE: 27 / august 2nd, 1995 GENDER & PRONOUNS: cisfemale, she/her FACECLAIM: chloe bennet HEIGHT: 5’3” SEXUALITY: bisexual OCCUPATION: ER doctor
paisley duncan was born august 2nd, 1996 in a very privileged family, her parents, edward and piper duncan, are owners of a widely-known vineyard supplying not just many known businesses not just in the country but around the world, but also the royal family. the duncans have always been raised to be prim and proper, but it was paisley, the oldest of the bunch, who is considered to be the black sheep of them all. but it wasn’t always like that, until her sibling was born and all the attention was on them instead. it was like she was expected to be abiding to the family’s rules yet at the same time, they do not care that much as they used to be with her anymore. that’s why she went against the family’s wishes, not caring if they wanted her to inherit the vineyard someday, instead, she took up a path of her own, packed her things and moved to the states. she hasn’t told much people, even her family, but paisley always wanted to be a doctor, have a way to help people as she always dreamt of to begin with.
to start, she took up bachelor of science in human health and technology in the university of new hampshire, of course, even if her parents did not agree with most of her decisions, they still decided to fund for her studies, but not because they support her, it was because they had a reputation to uphold, and at the same time, they wanted to prove paisley wrong for being able to survive on her own, achieve her goals, yet of course, as she was progressing, graduating from her pre-medical course and continuing to medical school, that’s when they realized, maybe paisley does not belong to where they’ve always wanted her to be all this time. yet it was too late, the aspiring doctor had been so distant that it was almost dead silent from her end, regardless of the fact that they were still sending her money for her studies.
after she graduated from medical school, the woman then moved to memphis, to take up a residency program at the baptist memorial hospital, and that’s where she meets and got close with one of the other aspiring doctors taking up the program as well, of course, usually it was kind of a tight ship there, but with the two hitting it off instantly made things bearable for paisley. she didn’t like having a shoulder to lean on, but they made it so easy, cracked the hard exterior she’s always had growing up and before she knew it, the man had a hold of her heart. if she were to think about it, he is her first and greatest love, though she would never admit that out loud, spending times in on-call rooms, either giving each other a pop quiz, arguing about anything and everything, or just talking about their days, one finding the other taking a nap in the supply closet, to them hanging out outside of the hospital, those turning into dinner, into them basically realizing that they’re in love with each other. of course, they tried to make it work, but with the lines of their personal and professional relationship blurred out over the years from them being just residents to her going up the ranks and eventually paisley being an ER doctor, paisley thought their relationship isn’t going to work anymore, hence to her ending up things with him after one of their shifts. eventually, she makes a move to hidehill and transfers to work at hide general, where she could at least put a distance between her and her former lover.
though upon learning the news that her father has fallen ill, paisley had no choice but to leave abruptly to see his condition herself, not having time to give her farewells to the people she has quickly grown to care about over the month she has stayed in town, regardless of the deaths that has happened, she had ached to come back to what seems like the belly of the beast now upon learning the news about hidehill, once she has made sure that her father was making recovery, and that she could go back.

✦ MICHAEL EVANS BEHLING, CISMALE, HE/HIM ✦ MONTEZ PHILLIPS the TWENTY NINE year old has been in Hidehill for HIS WHOLE LIFE and was a STRANGER to Carter Thompson, one of the shadows. Whispers on the streets are that the TEACHER who lives in HORWICK are said to be YOUTHFUL and STUBBORN but I guess we’ll find out for ourselves.
FULL NAME: montez phillips NICKNAMES: monty, tez AGE: 28 / march 22nd, 1994 GENDER & PRONOUNS: cismale, he/him FACECLAIM: michael evans behling HEIGHT: 6’2” SEXUALITY: heterosexual OCCUPATION: high school teacher
tw: death, car accident, amnesia
montez phillips was born and raised in a wealthy but humble household, both his parents working in the field of education, father, matthew phillips, a basketball coach and a physical education teacher whilst his mother, kalina phillips, the deputy principal, both working at the hidehill high, where the two have also met before, became close friends, eventually fell in love, got married and had montez and his siblings. it was like a common love story, a picket white fence home, with the occasional problems, either of their kids getting into light troubles, of course, but that’s how it usually was. their family was tight, not just within their unit but also their relatives, especially ones who lived nearby. everything was perfect, if you ask a young montez, or monty, as his parents would like to call him. the phillips family was everything he could ask for, and was grateful for everything that he has with them.
though, like any other stories, montez’s life took a turn. one day he was pulled out of class by his mother himself, his father was rushed to the university medical center due to him suffering a heart attack while he was teaching one of his classes. he was dead on arrival.
and just like that, everything fell apart. his mother grew distant, and even when both him and his brother both went through their rebellious stages just to get her attention, it did not do much, only a lecture and a conversation with anyone that would get them out of any kind of trouble they’d make. the brothers then grew closer than ever, realizing at a young age that nothing they do would bring their mother back, the woman they loved and looked up to when their father was still alive, the light of her life isn’t there anymore.
montez not only wanted to be a teacher to follow his parents’ footsteps, yet it was also his dream, hence he has focused on his studies for years, being it the only thing that he prioritizes and eventually he becomes an english teacher at hidehill high.
but, as usual, his life, then again, would take another turn. good things don’t last forever, he realizes. the man had decided to take a little drive around town one night as he was struggling to get some sleep, especially after to live the day he lost his parents with his dream. the man was beyond exhausted, but he just needed for his mind to not be in that place. and of trying to have them locked them away, he loses most of his other memories instead.
it has been six or seven months since the accident, and montez is on the road towards recovery, being decided that he’s not yet fit to go back to teaching, though he’s trying to life his life as normally as he possibly could, still not a trace of any memory of anything for the past three years.

✦ CHARLES MELTON, CISMALE, HE/HIM ✦ FINLEY PARK the TWENTY EIGHT year old has been in Hidehill for ONE MONTH and was a STRANGER to Carter Thompson, one of the shadows. Whispers on the streets are that the BODYGUARD who lives in HADLEY PARK are said to be VEHEMENT and CHOLERIC but I guess we’ll find out for ourselves.
FULL NAME: finley park NICKNAMES: fin, park jr. AGE: 28 / may 13th, 1995 GENDER & PRONOUNS: cismale, he/him FACECLAIM: charles melton HEIGHT: 6’1” SEXUALITY: bicurious OCCUPATION: zehra aksoy’s bodyguard
tw: injury, death
finley park was born on may 13th, 1995, his mother is a housewife whilst his father is a stuntman, mostly sent to the different parts of the world for movie shoots, sometimes working as a double for famous actors. he grew up wanting to be his father so much, sometimes coming with him overseas to see what goes on during shoots, watching his father in awe as he executes stunts perfectly, how his punches, kicks, or falls look very convincing, he was living vicariously through him.
finley knew the path to college isn’t one for him, he chose the path of becoming a stuntwoman, but it was so different for him compared to his (step)father who has retired a couple of years before his career started to take off, not just because of the weight of expectation that rests on his shoulders, but also the he had always doubted himself throughout, he felt the pressure to do well, to impress people with every move he makes, that he cannot commit any mistake. at first, it did pay off, his work ethic, how he’s laser focused. he was starting to get known everywhere and was booking either films or shows here and there. eventually the negatives of this pressure came into picture, a freak accident on set had sent him into injury that is forced him to retire, hence the now former stuntman has hopped from one town to another for years until recently, he has moved to hidehill and has been staying for a month now, working as a bodyguard for zehra aksoy.
with the deaths that have been surrounding town, people needed to feel a sense of security, for them to be safe, so when the opportunity came, the woman hopped on it and applied for the job, he thought about having him own security for his peace of mind, and finley took a leap of faith, not expecting for him to be hired at first, due to the ongoing gap in his career ever since he left. yet he had bagged the job and is now working for the singer for a month now. knowing how his job is crucial and involves having someone’s life in his hands, finley keeps his eyes peeled with a promise to himself not to screw up his second chance this time.
