ONCE UPON A TIME ....

mariano madrigal was born into what you would call the cartel life, his whole family had been part of the cartel of medellin for as long as he could remember, his father was the youngest out of eight. everyone had followed in his grandfather footsteps, taking each a role in the cartel. though Mauricio Madrigal wanted a different life for him &. his family, he wanted to give them more than the life that each of his siblings shared, life in the cartel only ended one way, either in witness protection for snitching or six feet under &. sadly, they all ended on the ground sooner or later. so he did what any sane man would do &. chose to abandon the life in Colombia that he loved, choosing to take his part of his inheritance &. move to the states.

mariano arrived with four years old to New York, as much as his father wanted to leave the life behind, it seemed that the name madrigal always held some weight, even thousand of miles away. So his father did the only thing that he could think of, politics. there was no way that the foolish American people would suspect that someone as stand up as the mayor of New York would be in bad waters. the perfect family, fighting for the rights of the people, trying to make a change. mariano grew up in a life with no violence but that didn’t stop his violent tendencies, taking after his grandfather. making sure that whoever wrong his family or loved ones should be punished in the most lethal way.

the best schools, the best cars, the best everything. his father was the example of coming from a country where the possibilities were limited to becoming mayor of New York, through the middle of high school, he fell in love &. he lived through the eyes of the girl who captured his heart but it all came to an end when she broke his heart, he wasn’t enough &. from that moment forward he promised himself that he would never, ever let anyone get that close, to see him for who he really was. people became disposable for him, no one stayed in his life for longer than a few weeks, not being able to really open up to anyone. he became as hard as he needed to be, didn’t matter with who truly.

college became his playground, it was like picking out his favorite flavors &. putting them back when he’s had enough, he was a god in his own world but as soon as he saw how good he was with his own photographic memory, his career was chosen. cardio thoracic  was his way to go, he had in his power to save life’s &. if he wasn’t ending them, he might as well save them.

DI’ANGELO HARRISON  has been accepted to participate ! they are a 30 year old all the way from NEW YORK . HE is currently studying PHOTOGRAPHY at the interchange. ( tatia, 23, she/her, Michael B Jordan )

tw: domestic abuse / murder / verbal abuse / abandonment

DI’ANGELO  HARRISON    came into the world as a happy kid, his goofy smile evident during his school pictures but that all changed once he was old enough to realize that his mom tended to fall down a lot, though it was always after a heated argument with his father. DEREK HARRISON  was the ideal family man, devoted and caring but behind closed doors it was a completely different story. his mothers lessons ( as his father liked to call them ) become much more frequent, the smallest comment would set him off in the most powerful rage. his mother wasn’t safe and neither was he. 

after the aftermath of his fathers brutality, he would sit down next to his mother curing her wounds and never blaming her, always by her side. the more he leaned towards his mother, the worst thing got for him. his father became enraged and the bruises began to appear on grayson, though no one could believe that the matriarch of the charming family could ever do something so vile, di’angelo spoke out but no one truly believed him and if they did, his father had everyone in his pocket. 

weeks turned into months and months into years and the more that time passed, the more he  changed. More closed off he became and more violet towards some situations. one day coming home, he hears pleading and the commotion of things being thrown. he doesn’t have to speculate what’s going on, the help in the kitchen minds their business, but the worrisome look on their features is evident. he walks right past them and his mother is on the floor of his father study, bloody and lifeless. his father taunting him, his anger gets the best of him and everything just turns black. 

once he regains conciseness, he feels a pair of hands holding him back. his mother is on the floor, barely breathing. he doesn’t realize the amount of blood that’s covering his hands, his hands on the phone but its taken away by his father security. telling him that they needed to play this as a burglary and that’s exactly what happened, they played the grieving wife and son  part quite well. 

f his nightmare wasn’t over because in the back of his mind, he has flashbacks of the incident, his fist repeatedly pounding his fathers face and his fathers taunting prose ; you’re a monster just like I am .  those words echoed in his mind and played on a constant loop, maybe his father wasn’t wrong and grayson would be just like his father if not worse. though his mothers dedication to him was un matched, they remained well respected in the community &. shortly after her mother remarried, at first he was against him but as time passed, he noticed that she was happy &. that’s all that truly mattered. 

after taking ahold of his fathers business, being the heir to it all, he heard about interchange &. Maybe for once he could do something for himself.

STORY OF MY LIFE : 

When she was a child her dad told her every night that she was destined for greatness, her name itself descended from a ruler itself. so she always expected nothing but the best when it came from either of her parents, even the world. As she grew older, she never had a worry in the world, her father was a nature born Sicilian just like herself, her mother was born in new America but one trip to Italy and fell in love with this big powerful man. she was merely a few years old and was welcomed with luxury and opportunities not a lot of people had but this was her life and she shouldn’t apologize for it. 

Her parents never expected too much from her, just to act as she should in front of guest. As she grew older she wished that she would be part of this normal life she saw on tv. normalcy was never anything for her but that all changed when her parents brought someone else home, someone that crazily looked like her and in her she found a friend, someone that she could look over and protect from their overbearing mother. 

things changed when Thalia decided to become in contact with her father, rosalie didn’t see the need but yet regardless she supported her sister through what she needed, she never knew that her sister would betray her ever. one morning as she was getting ready, she decided to wear her grandmothers necklace but it was nowhere to be found. the necklace had been stolen by Thalia’s father and there was no way that the younger salvatore did not know. 

something clicked within, rosalie. something just changed and things became more difficult, in front of everyone she was the same perfect delia but behind closed doors she was ready to hit rock bottom. her pregnancy had been something that she didn’t even know had happened, she was terrified but nonetheless came clean to her mother thinking that she would find the perfect solution but once again she was wrong, her mother forced her to the nearest clinic and the baby was just but a passing memory. 

she pushed all her problems deep down, a place where no one would ever find them. kept her focus on school &. her drug habit deep from anyone who could know, how dare she disorder the salvatore last name.

𝐈𝐓  𝐁𝐄𝐆𝐀𝐍  𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇  𝐌𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐀𝐄𝐋  𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐔'𝐒  𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄  .  theo  loved  his  younger  brother  ,  so  much     —  but  that  fateful  day  ,   he  pretended  to  be  sick  in  bed  ,  too  lazy  to  go  out  and  play   .  but  still  ,   mickael  decided  to  play  without  him  ,  venturing  into  the  thick  woods  without  his  older  brother’s  supervision  even  after  theo  told  him  not  to  stray  too  far   .   and  that  was  the  last  time  anyone  has  ever  seen  mickael  .   

theo  refused  to  believe  that  his  brother  could  be  dead  ,  even  months  after  mickael  was  believed  to  have  succumbed  to  the  elements   —  so  overwhelmed  by  his  grief  to  point  of  delusions.  his  family  ,  friends  ,  and  everyone  around  him  knew  that  mickael  was  dead  at  that  point  ,  but  theo  tried  to  hold  onto  any  semblance  of  hope  that  the  boy  could  have  survived.    he  felt  (  and  continues  to  feel  )  an  immense  amount  of  survivor’s  guilt  over  the  loss  of  his  younger  brother      —    thinking  that  maybe  if  he  just  played  with  him  ,  if  he  was  just  a  better  brother  ,  mickael  would  still  be  alive  .  

𝐆𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐅    𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐆𝐔𝐄𝐃    𝐓𝐇𝐄    𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐄    𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐋𝐘    𝐀𝐍𝐃    𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆    𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐔    𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐘   .   while  theo  served  as  a  somewhat  de  facto  leader  for  his  friends  ,  he  was  the  subject  of  parental  neglect  in  his  home.  his  parents’  grief  eclipsed  his  emotional  &  psychological  needs  (  for  love  ,  for  attention  ,  for  warmth  ,  for  help  in  processing  the  loss  of  mickael  )  that  instead  of  healing  together  as  a  family  ,  theo  was  left  to  his  own  devices  in  dealing  with  his  grief  .    they  were  so  emotionally  absent  ,  shrugged  off  the  obvious  need  for  love  and  positive  attention  of  a  boy  clearly  struggling  with  the  loss  of  his  younger  brother  .  in  a  way  ,  theo  took  it  as  his  parents  blaming  him  and  holding  him  responsible  for mickael’s  death  ,  because  why  else  would  they  treat  him  like  that  ?    without  his  parents’  love  and  affection,  the  archambeau  house  felt  like  cold  place  to  theo  .  it  was  an  unhealthy  environment  for  a  child  .

his  undying  love  for  mickael  and  the  neglect  he  faced  at  home  was  the  reason why  theo  was  hyperfixated  in  finding  mickael  .    it  was  just  at  that  point  in  theo’s  mental  state  and  self-worth  that  it  felt  easier  for  him  to  go  into  the  forest  and  try  to  find  his  brother   than  go  home  and  face  his  parents’  emotional  absence  and  mickael’s  physical  absence .  he  was  just  in  so  much  pain  ,  and  yet  ,  he  couldn’t  just  sit  there  even  when  all  signs  pointed  to  mickael  being  truly  gone  .  he  had  so  much  of  this  suicidal  recklessness  as  a  child  because  he  truly  believed  that  the  loss  of  his  brother  was  his  fault   like  theo  would  go  into  that   forest  again  and  again  ,  even   if   he  was  alone  ,  even  if  it  killed  him  ,  if  it  meant  that  he  at  least  tried  to  find  his  brother  .  and  …  u  know  …  if  he  got  hurt  ,  if  he  died  ,  theo   would  think  he  deserved  it  because  he  thought   he  deserved  to  be  punished  for  mickael’s  death  .  that  was  how  fucked  up  his  mental  state  was.

it  wasn’t  until  he  also  got  lost  in  the  forest  ,  scared  and  thought  he  was  going  to  die  that  theo  acknowledged  that  mickael  was  truly  gone  .  it  was  only  12  hours  until  he  was  found  and  mickael  had  been  gone  for  months   .    it  was  then   when  he  began  to  truly  mourn , and  maybe  start  a  healing  process  . unfortunately ,  his  relationship  with  his  parents  never   really  recovered .  

𝙵𝚄𝙽  𝙵𝙰𝙲𝚃𝚂 !

theo’s  father  died  when  he  was  seventeen.  and  recently  ,  his  mother  passed  ,  too.  he  supposed  it  was  time  to  move  on  from   houplin-ancoisne  —  he  was  already  away  for  college  ,  but  now  ,  there  isn’t  any  point  in  ever  going  back  ,  especially  with  the  last  of  his  friends  also  now  forging  their  own  lives  .  

theo  still  blames  himself  for  mickael’s  death  .  and    now  ,  with  the  loss  of  his  parents  ,  theo  still  doesn’t  realize  how  much  of    that  survivor’s  guilt  is  his  parents  taking  out  their  grief  on  him.

to  deal  with  horrors  of  his  childhood  ,  theo  found  writing  stories  as  a  way  to  cope  .  he  has  always  been  a  good  wordsmith  even  when  he  was  a  kid  ,  but  now  it’s  something  that  helps  him  survive  in  life    —  both  as  a  livelihood  and  a  way  to  manage  his  traumas  by  putting  them  into  words  .  

aside  from  his  group  of  friends  that  made  him  feel  less  alone  after  mickael’s  death  ,  theo  also  had  several  pen  pals  that  he  used  to  confide  in  .  but  like  with  most  people  and  relationships  ,  some  things  just  end  when  they  stopped  writing  back  and  he  just  assumed  that  their  lives  became  busier  or  that  they  found  more  friends  in  real  life  that  they  had  forgotten  about  him   .

big  bisexual 

went  to  university  of  lille   for  creative  writing  and  graduated  early  by  taking  more  than  a  full  load  of  classes  each  semester  and  summer/spring  classes.  he  wanted  to  focus  on  his  writing  career  as  quick  as  possible  so   his   dumb  ass  probably  almost  failed  all  of  his  classes  except  all  the  important  ones  ,  but  he  already  had  some  book  deals  anyway  so  it  shouldn’t  really  matter  .  nonetheless,  he  wanted  that  degree  !!!

smart  but  a  dumbass…  still  has  his  reckless  streak  .  loves  to  feel  that  rush  and  the  thrill  of  all  the  first  times  .  like  he  was  already  kind  of  a  daredevil  kid  but  still  inhibited  because  he  wanted  his  parents  to  be  impressed  of  him  and  love  him  …  but  now  that  they’re  dead  ???  theo  is  finally  learning  how  to  really  have  fun  without  anything  holding  him  back  (  sans  his  career  )  .    

still  has  his  most  prized  possession  ,   his  bike  ,  copter  .  gone  through  some  repairs  ,  but  still  good  !    it  might  seem  trivial  ,  a  bike  ,  but  it  helped  him  get  through  mickael’s  death  .  saving  up  for  copter   ,  fixing  it  up  (  with  the  help  of  his  friends   )  ,  learning  to  how  to  ride  it      —  it  gave  him  purpose  during  those  endless  days  after  mickael  disappeared  .  it  was  a  good  distraction.  and  it  made  him  feel  like  in  control  of  the  outcome  (  unlike  the  circumstances  of  mickael’s  death  )  .   and  fuck  ya  he  brought  it  with  him  to  the  interchange  ,  no  matter  how  hard  it  is  to  travel  with  .  

although  it  still  hurts  him  to  this  day  ,  theo   does  not  resent  his  parents  for  the  way  they  treated  after  mickael  died  .  it  was  unfair  to  him  ,  but  theo  understands  that  they  were  dealing  with  their  own  grief  ,  too  .  he  wishes  things  were  different  ,  but  there’s  nothing  he  or  anyone  can  do  about  it  anymore  since  his  parents  are  dead  .

has  published  a  total  of  two  (2)  books  ,  the  first  one  is  just  a  compilation  of  short  stories  when  he  was  eighteen  and  other  is  his  first  novel  ,  maria  ,  published  when  he  was  twenty  .  neither  were  bestsellers  or  anything  ,  but  he’s  very  proud  of  them  .   he’s  currently  in  the  process  of  writing  the  forest  we  lived  in   (  which  is  somewhat  based  on  his  own  childhood  and  missing  411s  in  general  )  and  he  thought  that  a  change  of  scenery  would  help  him  get  started  on  that   ,  thus  ,  applying  for  the  interchange   and  majoring  in  literature  this  time  .  

has  only  dated  one  person  …  a  woman  much  older  than  him   ,  who  was  his  book  agent  when  he  was  nineteen  . so  theo  …  into  older  women  ?  into  people  who  have  strong  and  dominant  personalities  ?  theo  …  a  bottom  for  the  ladies  ?  he  is  bisexual  ,  though  he  doesn’t  really  know  his  type  when  it  comes  to  men  ,  he’s  just  enjoying  the  view  for  now  .   AND  THAT’S  THE  END  OF  FUN  FACTS  !

BEATRICE ‘BEA’ RYDER has been accepted to participate ! they are a 26 year old all the way from NEW JERSEY, US . SHE is currently studying EDUCATION at the interchange .

name: beatrice ryder nicknames: bea birthday: 11/02/1995 age: 26 years zodiac: scorpio gender: cis female pronouns: she/her sexuality: bisexual, biromantic height: 5′7 born: new jersey, us major: education likes: attention, being liked, dogs, her giant teddy named boog, grunge, lingerie, red lipstick, thunderstorms, ripped jeans, sex, knives, dreaming, cigarettes, licorice, loud music, grilled cheese, black clothes, instagram, london dislikes: goodbyes, forgetting, nightmares, being ignored, drugs, numbness, water, bears, misunderstandings, loneliness, biting her tongue, models, wigs, being told what to do, mood swings, time, boba tea, commercial airlines, dares

beatrice is a personality crisis disguised as a human being.

ever since she was a little girl, she’s travelled the world. her parents never wanted to stay in one place very long, so they would uproot her anytime they got the notion to leave, ripping her away from any friends she’d made. on the bright side she’s been able to see so many beautiful places. on the downside... don’t get her started.

at thirteen life seemed to take a downward spiral and she woke up one day not quite feeling like herself. she hasn’t felt like herself since.

her emotions are haywire. she can change her mood on the drop of a dime and she cannot control it. one moment she’ll be screaming over nothing and the next, laughing as if nothing happened.

though loved deeply and spoiled by her parents, bea has never felt much support from them. they always denied anything was wrong with her in spite of her outrageous mood swings, refused to get her help as a teenager.

she’s gone to therapy but it hasn’t done much good.

bea longs for stability but thrives on chaos.

high school was both the best and worst time of her life. a lot of drama went down at her school in london, some of the things that happened were horrible, but it was the first time she’d truly felt like she had found a place in the world.

after graduating she felt more lost and alone than ever.

not one person has ever not left her. even her parents continuously switch up where they’re going. all of her friends have vanished. love doesn’t last. so, okay, maybe she has some trust issues.

she’s modeled over the years and has a decent following on social media. though she couldn’t care less about being famous she has to admit she likes the attention.

she is very, very attention oriented. bad or good, she wants to be seen.

was kicked out of one of her fashion events for punching another model in the nose. whatever, she asked for it.

you’ll often find her drowning her sorrows.

she has always hoped to be a mom but is starting to think that’s out of the cards for her.

literally no idea what she wants out of life or herself. she has no idea who she is or why she’s studying to be a teacher. she learned what felt like a lifetime ago, she just has to go with the flow. so here she is, trying to do just that.

“She ain't got no money. Her clothes are kinda funny. Her hair is kinda wild and free. Oh, but Love grows where my Rosemary goes“

Sunshine “Sunny” Lewis. 21. Junior. Creative writing/Journalism Major

Sunny grew up with what some might call hippie parents, she was raised up on a large farm with a bunch of animals and plenty of land to run around with her three brothers. It was her ideal life until they had to move back to the city to take care of her grandma. 

She fell in love with reading when she was a kid and over time that mophed into her love of writing. Sunny loves coming up with whole worlds in her head as well as sharing it with other people. 

Being an optimist in the world at times can be hard but she thinks it’s much braver to be kind. 

Her family made her come to this school, they wanted her to explore and see the world other then the one she made up in her head.

She’s vegan because she loves animals so much that every time she looks at a burger she imagines the cow staring back at her saying ‘don’t eat meeee’. 

Her style is very very vintage inspired, everything in her closet is either thrifted or from a small business. 

Her favorite flowers are daisies 

Her favorite ice cream is strawberry

DECEMBER ADAMOS has been accepted to participate ! they are a 25 year old all the way from LONDON, ENGLAND . HE is currently studying MARINE BIOLOGY at the interchange .

name: december adamos nicknames: n/a birthday: 12/01/1996 age: 26 years zodiac: sagittarius gender: cis male pronouns: he/him sexuality: bisexual, biromantic height: 5′11 born: london, england major: marine biology likes: cigarettes, beer, whiskey, being not broke, sex, pizza, guitar, marijuana, tequila, his mom, running away from his problems, baked goods, alone time, fast cars, naps, vodka, jogging, his hair being played with, motorcycles dislikes: aging, commitment, reading, holidays, birthdays, emotions, london, facing his problems, crowds, shopping, haircuts, school, routine, long sleeves, social media, mornings, dress codes, hair gel, his dad

see: constantly on a downward spiral.

december does not remember much about who he was before he was adopted. he was taken in by his adoptive family at eight years old, he’d been in foster care since he was an infant. he doesn’t know his previous name or his birth parents, or why he was given up. he doesn’t really care.

his adoptive father was awful. his mother was an angel.

a rebellious teenager constantly being punished, never changing. in the beginning he wasn’t trying to go against his parents’ wishes, he was just a rambunctious child that liked to have fun. then it turned into doing whatever he could to piss off the man that was raising him, whether it was sneaking out, going to parties, showing up to family events wasted.

he was kicked out as soon as it was legal for him to do so.

when his father died, he was a suspect for the murder, but there was never enough evidence to pin on him. he didn’t kill him. sometimes he wishes he would’ve had the nerve to kill him.

he has memory issues. probably caused by the heavy alcohol and drug use.

he’s been to rehab on more than one occasion, but it never sticks. he just can’t care enough to stop drinking.

has tried anything he can get his hands on. he hasn’t had the best experience with harder drugs, cocaine for example. he doesn’t enjoy the trip, so while he tends to steer clear of them he’s not against it either.

his inheritance was pinned on him staying sober, it was written in his dad’s will. he tried for a few months before deciding fuck it, the old man could have the last laugh.

will sleep with pretty much anyone.

probably has a child out there somewhere.

has serious commitment issues. he’s never been able to stick around in one place for very long or keep a job or relationship longer than a few months --- aside from one woman the last time he was sober. for nearly two years in his early twenties he’d made something of himself. he had started a career, a nice apartment, a woman he was in love with and planned to marry... then he relapsed and ruined it all.

he’s not sure what he’s hoping to get out of this school, but it’s better than being homeless while he travels, right?

he has no passion for marine biology. he drunkenly applied and got accepted. time to see how long he can bullshit his way through it.

no intentions of making it to thirty. he’s here for a good time, not a long time.

he’s not having a good time either, to be clear.

not a bad guy. he has a good heart, though corrupted. he isn’t rude to people unless he’s really irritated, he doesn’t want to hurt anyone. he’s just kind of given up at this point.

GERTRUDE ‘GERTIE’ GUERRA has been accepted to participate ! they are a 25 year old all the way from LONDON, ENGLAND . SHE is currently studying LAW at the interchange .

name: gertrude genevieve guerra nicknames: gertie, gert, g, gg birthday: 10/29/1997 age: 25 years zodiac: scorpio gender: cis female pronouns: she/her sexuality: bisexual, biromantic height: 5′5 born: london, england major: law likes: her cat sabbath, exercise, boxing, tom petty music, smoothies, colored pens, hummingbirds, lemonade, pubs, chili cheese fries, vodka, the smell of smoke, call of duty, baby carrots, olives, raspberries, skechers, thrillers, cooking dislikes: crying, junk food, homework, sand, orange juice, flip-flops, crocs, sappy movies, long fingernails, lavender, scratchy quilts, loud people, artificial grape flavor, reality tv, mainstream pop music, ketchup, pda, overused memes, mondays

gertrude was raised by a single mother with a ‘take no shit’ attitude. said attitude was passed down directly to her.

her number one passion in life is — or was — track. she had dreams of being an olympic athlete, and she was certainly training hard enough to get there. she could outrun anyone that tried her. she was fucking good. then came her knee injury.

after two surgeries and a lot of denial, gertie had to kiss her plans for the future goodbye.

she’s still bitter, but tries to pretend she’s over it.

daddy issues? not at all. jk. lots of ‘em.

her dad didn’t abandon her exactly, but he basically did. when he left her mom he moved to another country and didn’t make much effort to see his only daughter. too many ‘i got too caught up with work to wish you a happy birthday, sorry baby’s and promised trips that never happened.

she does not like being called gertrude unless it’s by someone she likes. really likes. they get a free pass.

she has a black cat back at home with her mama named sabbath.

she adores her mother, though they don’t have the most affectionate relationship. her mother thinks she should be strong and not let anything bother her. she’s pushed that onto her since she was a little girl, and it’s probably why she cannot healthily express her emotions.

the only way she knows how to process her feelings is to take it out on punching bags.

is only in this school because elle is here and she wasn’t willing to be without her.

she gets super attached to the people she cares about. she doesn’t necessarily show it but when she loves, she loves hard, and if you have gertie you’ve always got her.

loyal af, basically.

she definitely believes in love and has even been in it before, but is terrified of getting hurt or giving someone the ‘power’ to hurt her.

v sarcastic. good luck getting a serious conversation minus the wit out of her.

she is not mean. really, she’s not. but she is far from nice.

definitely a bit of a tomboy. not one to wear a dress, skirt, or overdo her makeup.

GEORGIA COOPER has been accepted to participate ! they are a 25 year old all the way from SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA . she is currently studying MUSIC PRODUCTION at the interchange.

THE BASICS

full name: georgia marie cooper

age/birthday: twenty-five / december 25th, 1997

family: elliot cooper ( father ), genevieve cooper nee. james ( mother ), elias cooper ( older brother ), gianna cooper ( older sister )

pets: n/a

favorite artist(s): demi lovato, avril lavigne

favorite song: misery business - paramore

favorite movie: scream 

THE BIOGRAPHY

georgia marie cooper was born and raised in sydney, australia on christmas day, 1997 as the youngest child of genevieve & elliot cooper, a few years after her older siblings were born, she was more or less something of a miracle baby as gen was told she had been unable to have any more children after her eldest daughter had been born.

growing up, georgia lived a pretty normal life, both of her parents loved her and so did her siblings, but things can only stay perfect for so long. however, georgia didn’t seem to realize this until the night of her 16th birthday when all her parents could do was argue after elliot had lost his job and there had been little to no sources of income for the family.

day in and day out, both of georgia’s parents would end up in multiple screaming matches with each other, simply because of elliot’s mistake, and georgia would be lying if she had said she didn’t feel bad. that’s one of the many reasons as to why she always tried her best in school, to distract her parents from yelling at each other even more, and sure, it worked for a while, but it wasn’t long before both adults got back into the same old routine of yelling at each other.

they had gotten into so many arguments in fact that they even started neglecting their children, simply because they had been too focused on their own mistakes to pay any attention to either of their three children together. georgia thought this would only last for a short while growing up, but it didn’t take her long to realize that this would soon become their family dynamic, the dysfunctional family everyone and their mother always talks about. not long after she realized this very fact, the youngest cooper child started to act out, trying everything to get her parents undivided attention once more, she would do drugs and go to parties at a young age, pretty much drinking herself under the table and coming home absolutely shitfaced, but it was never her parents that had brought her home, no, it had always been one of her older siblings, who had now taken the role of the parent since their parents seemed to have forgotten how to do just that. it didn’t take long for georgia to give up, although the personality she had now given herself in her late teens chose to stay, going from a straight a student to an absolute junkie, but she was just going to have to accept the fact that their family would never be the same again and it was only a matter of time before her parents got a divorce.

to try and distract herself from her fucked up family, georgia decided to look into the interchange program after she had heard about it from a friend and uses it as an escape from her parents multiple screaming matches with each other whenever she needs the distraction. only a select few people know about her family, she doesn’t like to talk about them much, and every time she is being dropped off by them she always makes sure to put a smile on her face, no matter how fake it may be. not long after last semester, georgia decided to take a short trip back home to see her siblings and also hang out with her grandparents since they were the only somewhat ‘sane’ people in her family at this point, but now she’s back and ready for action once more.

[cryinbirdie]

BIRDIE WOODRUFF has been accepted to participate ! they are a 20 year old all the way from VIRGINIA, US . SHE is currently studying ART at the interchange .

name: birdie woodruff nicknames: little bird (by her mother), bibi (by her sister), bird birthday: 09/25/2001 age: 20 years zodiac: libra gender: cis female pronouns: she/her sexuality: homosexual, homoromantic height: 5′2 born: virginia, united states major: art likes: painting, animals, thrift stores, bicycles, oversized sweaters, tea, fireplaces, connecting, baking, love stories, naps, organization, girls, full house, stars, beaches, autumn, upcycling, anything yellow dislikes: movies that kill dogs, loud sounds, math, conflict, yelling, mean remarks, heels, onions, speeches, crowds, social anxiety, being talked over, darkness, time zones, change, coca cola, gossip, violence, the smell of bleach

soft girl, smol girl.

birdie is technically the middle child, she has a twin sister who is five minutes older than her and a little brother.

while she loves her siblings birdie has always felt overshadowed by them, mostly her sister. farrah woodruff was loud and fun and left an impression, birdie was the polar opposite; too shy to make many friends, more of a loner. she wasn’t the life of the party. she was asleep by the time the party started.

she’s a bit like an old lady, enjoying vintage furniture, never staying up late, doing things like crocheting and puzzles to pass the time, working in a library throughout high school and loving every minute of it.

she cries a lot.

no, a lot, lot.

like, she’ll cry multiple times a day, don’t be alarmed.

she’s the mother friend for sure.

she’s probably not going to get your sarcasm. birdie loves a good knock knock joke but anything beyond that is going to go over her head. witty remarks are lost on her.

has known she was gay since she was in elementary school but was quiet about it until she turned sixteen and finally decided to come out to her parents. she was terrified even though they’d always been loving and accepting. they didn’t bat an eye, though her mom went on about making sure she still used protection when she has sex and embarrassed her half to death.

she adores cats, dogs, birds, ferrets, fish. all of the animals. her mom has always had a soft spot for them as well (if it isn’t obvious by her daughter’s name) so she was raised to have a respect and understanding for them.

she does a lot of charity work, anytime she can she’s going to help out.

she gets homesick a lot. she’d never left town until college. she’s still getting used to being away from her family, but she knows this is good for her.

her favorite thing to paint is flowers or sunrises and sunsets. she especially loves using pastel colors.

she would never say a mean thing about anyone. very sweet. very gentle.

all she wants is to paint and make friends and fall in love tbh.

honestly just a ball of sunshine.

please don’t hurt her.

RIVER POLAT has been accepted to participate ! they are a 24 year old all the way from LONDON, ENGLAND. SHE is currently studying CRIMINOLOGY at the interchange !

hi everyone, it’s di again!! this time bringing in an old muse, river who only lives sad girl hours with halsey on repeat. i go by she/her pronouns and i’m in pst. more info on river below the cut ♡ ( tw self-harm, abuse, drugs, abandonment )

💔  to plot / 🔎  for a short starter ( full bio ) ( pinterest ) ( open starters ) ( connections )

instagram post template by @allscalliepsds

basics

full name: river polat

nickname(s): n/a

birthday: june 13th

gender: cis female

sexuality: bisexual

relationship status: single

zodiac: gemini sun, virgo moon, aquarius rising

home: london, england

major: criminology

languages: english

important bullets/history ( full bio here ! )

the whole foundation of river starts with the fact that she was abandoned as a baby, you guessed it, on a riverbank

river has no idea who her parents are and is far past trying to find out. she’s felt alone in the world since day one and that’s been a big barrier to ever getting close to anyone

sarcasm is a defense mechanism ( i know it’s a cliche but nothing has fit more ) also a huge halsey stan

the one person who she ever connected with as a parental figure was her social worker francine who kept tabs on her between all the foster homes she wound up in but when rive was twelve, francine died from a brain aneurism, wiping away any dream she’d had of living with the one woman who seemed to care

each family she found herself with never felt right for a variety of reasons but the biggest one was how she was treated in comparison to their actual kids, if they had any. it was clear she didn’t belong and some of them made it more obvious than others

most were distant while others took their anger and frustration out on her, like a punching bag that had taken up residence in their home. trust wasn’t exactly something she ever developed in a world like that

overall, she stayed with seven different families before she came of age and could step out on her own 

life was never easy for the girl but she survived. she always did

there were moments when the world got to be too much and river would lock herself away, dragging whatever she could find over her skin to leave marks that would turn into scars that would eventually fade enough that no one even noticed

river knew of the arslans and the athanas families in london, having been around them but never invited in. though cecilya was someone her age that she could have been friends with, there was something about her that river resented

school had never been a priority for river. getting through each day with food and whatever drug she needed was more important than an education that didn’t really mean anything

there were plenty of mysteries in the neighborhood she lived in, never knowing who her parents were was only the start. the boy she loved disappeared without a trace, his brother following suit not long after. there was something strange going on which blossomed the interest in solving crime

mysteries became an obsession for her. she believed if she could solve just one of them, her life might mean something. her whole life she had felt like a reject, thrown to the side when something better came along. she doesn’t want to feel that way but it’s hard not to when that’s all she’s ever been told

wanted connections

friends / something close to it

classmates ( criminology )

drug dealer

confidant / therapist type

friends with benefits / enemies with benefits

will they, won’t they tension

past hookups / one night stands

party crew

enemies

i’m always down to brainstorm as well if none of these strike your fancy ♡

—   𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋  𝐄𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐒  .

——     JOURNAL :  ever  since  he  was  child   ,  dante  has  been  recording  information  about  his  travels  and  people  he  meets  in  leather - bound  journals  that  are  usually  bloated  with  glued - in  photographs  ,  newspaper  clippings  and  book  passages  ,  as  well  as  leaves  ,  candy  wrappers  ,  and  tickets  .  

——     POLAROID  CAMERA :   dante  likes  to  take  photographs  of  anything  and  everything  ,  from  candid  portraits  of  people  to  beautiful  scenery  .  

——     POLO  SHIRTS  &  BOAT  SHOES :  dante  does  not  really  have  any  sense  of  fashion  ,  often  seen  wearing  polo  shirts  and  boat  shoes  ,  as  well  as  an  overcoat  during  cold  weather  .   

  ——     EYEGLASSES :  after  years  and  years  of  reading  in  the  dark  ,  dante’s  vision  is ,  as  expected  ,   really  fucked  up  and  he  has  to  wear  glasses  or  contact  lenses  to  see  things  clearly  .    

—   𝐁𝐈𝐎𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐇𝐘  .

——     born  to  madam  ambassador  ,  ximena  martinez  ,   dante  considers  himself  to  be  a  person  from  nowhere  and  everywhere  .   he  spent  his  childhood  moving  from  country  to  country   —  never  staying  in  one  place  for  too  long  due  to  the  nature  of  his  mother’s  occupation  ,  his  personal  identity   becoming  an  assortment  of  cultures  from  the  places  he  was  raised  in  .  but  while  he  was  lucky  to  have  all  the  privilege  that  came  with  his  mother’s  status   ,  it  was  never  a  life  without  difficulty  .  

——     loneliness  was  a  prevalent  theme  in  his  childhood  ,   an  inevitable  pitfall  of  having  to  pick  up  his  life  and  begin  anew  every  year  or  so  .  dante  was  always  great  at  making  friends  but  it  was  an  exhausting  pursuit  to  get  to  know  someone  ,  only  just  to  say  goodbye  to  them  and  inescapably  lose  contact  as  they  all  went  on  with  the  motions  of  their  lives  .   however  ,  when  he  is  able  to  make  friends  ,  dante  is  someone  who  is  fiercely  loyal  and  will  do  anything  for  them  no  matter  the  cost  .  

——     but  despite  it  all  ,  he  was  taught  to  always  be  charming  and  sociable  ,  appearing  as  the  perfect  golden  child  .  everyone  saw  him  as  this  equally  optimistic  and  charismatic  boy  who  never  entered  a  room  where  he  didn’t  belong  .  but  inside  ,  dante  had  always  been  a  mess  of  anxieties  ,  loneliness  and  resentment  ,  desperately  wanting  to  belong  somewhere  .  he  had  always  wanted  to  make  his  life  meaningful  but  he  always  found  it  difficult  to  find  the  meaning  in  something  that  felt  like  so  out  of  his  control  growing  up   .  he  wants  so  much  out  of  life  and  he  really  is  still  figuring  out  how  to  get  that  . 

——  still  ,  dante  does  enjoy  seeing  the  world  ,  exploring  all  the  places  and  learning  all  the  stories  and  history  attached  to  them  .  he  has  leather - bound  journals  with  records  of  all  his  travels  and  adventures  ,  looking  back  at  them  to  remind  himself  that  it  wasn’t  really  all  that  bad  when  his  depression  and  anxieties  would  get  overwhelming   .  

——  it  felt  like  the  natural  progression  of  things  to  follow  his  mother’s  footsteps  into  becoming  a  foreign  service  worker  ,  already  having  the  experience  of  being  all  around  the  world  . and  truthfully  ,  it  was  really  hard  for  him  to  choose  one  specific  passion  ,  always  a  mess  of  unfinished  projects  and  ever - changing  interests  .  becoming  like  his  mother  was  just  most  convenient  thing  in  the  world  .  he  spent  six  years  of  his  life  in  university  and  while  he  wasn’t  the  most  passionate  about  it  ,  it  gave  his  life  some  structure  and  that  was  enough  .  he  always  loved  learning  and  stimulating  his  mind  ,  so  he  never  really  got  bored  of  writing  hundreds  of  papers  and  researching  foreign  policies  all  night  .  

——  he  was  hired  at  singapore’s  us  embassy  after  he  got  his  master’s  degree  ,   but  he  immediately  grew  tired  of  a  desk  job   ,  how  tedious  it  was  to  do  the  same  thing  every  day  without  learning  anything  new  or  doing  something  more  fulfilling  .  so  ,  he  quit  his  job  and  applied  at  the  interchange  ,  allowing  him  to  travel  the  world  again  this  time  with  a  group  of  other  people  and  learning  once  again  .  

—   𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍  .

just  a  really  friendly  and  good - natured  dude  at  his  core  and  when  he’s  feeling  any  negative  emotion  ,  he  will  literally  NEVER  show  it  in  his  face  but  instead  goes  manic  with  projects   ...  feeling  sad  ?  he’s  randomly  going  to  take  up  carpentry  and  watch  youtube  tutorials  in  the  middle  of  the  night  to  create  a  bird house !  feeling  anxious  ?  he  just  made  a  miniature  of  london  all  night  and  didn’t  sleep  at  all  !!!

super  smart  ...  near - eidetic  memory  but  only  when  it  comes  to  learning  and  other  people  .  will  literally  not  remember  what  he  had  for  breakfast  just  a  few  hours  ago  but  if  u  asked  him  anything  else  ,  he’ll  Know

LAYLA EVANS has been accepted to participate ! she is a 24 year old all the way from NEW YORK, UNITED STATES. SHE is currently studying CREATIVE WRITING at the interchange.

tw: mentions of death and child neglect.

i. about

born from meredith and roberts evans, her childhood started off with happiness and joy. it was filled with ballet performances and having parents in the front row each time, going out to see movies, eating homemade food at the dinner table, and each birthday and christmas felt like she was in a family friendly movie. this happy feeling didn’t last long forever though as by the age of eight, her father passed away. it broke her heart for the longest time and it broke her mother’s heart even longer. every time they were together, meredith saw her daughter as a reflection of her husband. it was often she would hide away in her room or attempt to avoid the young child. it soon became a routine that her mom would have layla stay with neighbors or family friends during the day because she was “busy at work” to take care of her. 

as she grew older, the brunette took it upon herself to take care of herself by learning to do chores. cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. by the time she turned fourteen, she was able to get a part-time job and planned on saving money for her own future. her goal was to move out as soon as she’s turned eighteen. during her high school life, she became influenced by kids who sought out trouble during her sophomore year. the type of group to party every night and wasn’t serious about school. she hung around them for quite some time up to the point where her grades were dropping, teachers began worrying, and she was close to being expelled. however, it was her dream to be a best-selling author and after being lectured about what her future could look like, she got her act together and studied her ass off. she went to tutors and study groups, always asked what she could do for extra credit, and aimed to get the best grade. soon, her efforts paid off and was able to graduate.

as things may seem to be going well for layla, a new chapter entered her life the moment her mom re-married. sure, she could have cut ties with her, but deep down, she hoped things would change. she still wanted her mom to be happy and if it means marrying someone else, then so be it. however, as she spent time with the new family, she didn’t feel quite at home. instead of sticking around, she continued to go down her own path. she moved out of her hometown and began studying at nyu while majoring in creative writing, only wanting to improve her skills.

ii. details

pinterest

aesthetics: a journal filled with pages and pages of ink, matching lace bras & thongs, waves crashing against the shore, piggyback rides, the comfort of someone being there, wanting to hear the words ‘i’m proud of you’, hands gripping bed sheets, police sirens, worn out ballet shoes, crying in the bathroom, feeling warm sand underneath your feet

every year on january 26, she visits her father’s grave and always brings tulips with her

when it comes to relationships and love, she feels she has the worst luck and tends to make things complicated. she’s cheated in the past and for most of her life, she’s felt she’s not good enough for others since then. other times she just wouldn’t want to ruin friendships. at this point, she’s uncertain about love

she’s been bullied in the past, but no matter what’s been said about her, she always toughens it out and tries not to let it get to her

sometimes she would end up visiting relatives during summers. it was an excuse for her to be elsewhere aside from home and so her mom wouldn’t have to deal with her

she has this tattoo on her left arm and this tattoo on her right side

she’s bisexual and is proud of it

labels that can define her: the phoenix, the dirtbag, the halcyon, the promiscuous

one of her most prized possessions is a necklace her dad gave her

her favorite holiday is christmas, even if she may feel lonely at times

her list of hobbies: surfing, going to the beach, writing, reading, drinking, partying, dancing, going on road trips, boxing, baking, cuddling, having sex, destroying property, stealing, breaking the law in general

she’s currently learning how to play a guitar

#i feel like i could add SO MUCH more to her story #bc i've been ✨ inspired ✨ #but i'm also lazy at the moment so i'll stop here for now #maybe i'll come back and work on it again #interchangeintro

Lawson Dream Kingsley, the first and only born to Nancy and Ryan Kingsley. Born on October thirty first, in nineteen ninety seven his parents were over joyed out of the false pretense that they couldn’t have a single child. Being the blessing for up above, according to his parents, he was a dream come true, one they had hoped for what seemed like a life time. Hence, why he was adorned with the middle name Dream.

At the mere age of ten Lawson knew he was different than other boys his age. Not once liking girls, or quite understanding the hype others gave them. He tended to like looking at the pictures of Tom Cruise from Top Gun, or Johnny Depp from the movie Nightmare on Elm Street.

When he was sixteen, that very fateful night of his birthday, his parents met their demise on their way home from letting Lawson take them for a ride in his brand new car that was gifted to him by them. Taking a turn too sharp he ran off the road and down into a ravine. Having passed out after the impact he was out of school for months, coming back to earth from the tragic accident he was told that his parents, the ones that cared deeply for him from the time of his birth had passed because of his mistake.

Processing it all was not easy, the anger that course through Lawson’s bones as he began to hate himself for his parents death. He was lucky enough that his mother’s brother and sister in law from the states took ward of him and let him remain part of the family still. That was the year he took up soccer and boxing. Taking all the self hatred and anger out on kicking a ball around or beating up a punching bag or a person in the ring.

When he was nineteen Lawson wanted to leave Wisconsin, but couldn’t seem to do so. Sticking around he decided to go to school to study the art of music and going professional with it. 

Now Lawson is twenty five and still remembers everything. The loss. The grief and how celebrating his birthday wasn’t something that he could do. The day meant so much more to him then just the day he was born.

important bullets/history ( full bio to come )

born and raised in avon, connecticut, tommy always had an overwhelming urge to get out of there. he never entirely fit in with how preppy and pretentious it could be, instead choosing to spend his afternoons skating and generally just vibing

he has a younger sister who he adores named katie, a big part of it being their age difference of ten years. he always felt responsible for her from the moment she was born and he goes out of his way to check in on her

tommy was a natural teacher from a young age, always wanting to share everything he learned with everyone he knew

he has a tendency to get overly excited about things he likes which includes fun facts, movies, skating, and weed ( plus a lot more )

one of tommy’s favorite things in the world is when he’s able to teach someone a new thing and get to see the moment when they understand it - there’s nothing quite like that

teaching, especially for young kids, has always had a stigma of being a woman thing but tommy thrives in it. he loves hanging out with kids and helping them learn who they are and it’s a bonus most of his classes are filled with woman. it could be worse, right?

tommy has always been a more go with the flow kind of guy, choosing to have fun over taking most things seriously

some might call him immature but tommy sees his somewhat childish behavior as a way to connect with the kids he teaches and none of them seem to mind all that much

there’s not much in the world he loves more than his family, it’s the one area of his life that tommy tends to take seriously

when he was in high school, the young man started volunteering with some of the guys he hung out with. they didn’t seem like the volunteering type but the were reliable and went every month to the soup kitchen to help out. it didn’t take long for the people in charge of the charity to look forward to tommy coming around

tommy’s a bit of a movie buff, especially some of the older comedies. he likes to get high and get lost in it - it’s one of his favorite activities in order to relax

if anyone ever wants to have a movie night, tommy is down to clown and will bring his extensive library to choose from

he can be a bit of a fuck boy, if you will, but out of a group of them he’s the nice, stoner one who always wants to be friends after the deed it done

wanted connections
