Oh my goodness I am so sorry, July has taken me over but here I am now. If you are no longer interested in the group just let me know! I have taken eons to start this up so I totally understand. But here we go and here we are - Plotting time ladies and gents!!Now here is our list of residents:
(I've written a little blurb for everyone based on your auditions!)☽ Grace “Hallie” Stins, 24
@min-t
More than anything Grace Stins wants to be read. With her past few years after college spent as an intern at New York Magazine, Grace has been buttonholed into the nicknamed “rise and fall” section of the magazine where she spends her days writing obituaries and birth announcements rather than the cultural and lifestyle journalism she wants to dive into. She needs her big break, she craves it, she urns for it. And when the breaking news of a possibly mermaid sighting in Florida landed in her lap, she proposed the idea of an undercover piece on the matter, tracking those searching for evidence around in Florida without false information to spoil her fun. With her first big assignment in her hands, Grace hopped on a plane to Seaside to reach for the myths she desperately hopes are true. You’ll see her on the beach in a full wetsuit, a pseudo-surfer by the name of Hallie Stins, who has barely touched the water, here for the surfing competition and so far she’s fooling everyone.
Model: Georgia Fowler☽ Arabella Rown, 21
@filthysoul | evidence lady
The fun-loving, rambunctious lead singer and bassist of [band name here], Arabella’s crew has stopped on their route to success to take a second to breath in the sun, surf and hopefully some inspiration. Trying to avoid being noticed for her parents success in the music world, Arabella is straining for a drop of something new to shake her name up, something Seaside may just have for her.
Model: Natalia Castellar☽ Fannie Briggs, 17
@followyourbliss | believer
A hometown baby of Seaside, Fannie has lived her formative years in faux scaled dresses that shimmered seafoam green in the sunshine. An original Little Mermaid fanatic, Fannie cares that others believe in her passion of historically mythical characters. Claiming that she was saved by one beautiful creature out at sea five years before, Fannie’s brief glimpse of mythology that everyone has pushed off has fueled her fire and she’s ready to prove them true.
Model: Maddy Elmer☽ Rowan Burres, 26
@lecoupdefoudre | the photographer
An angel with a camera, Rowan Burres is ready for something new… but not something crazy like mythical mermaids. An untamable spirit, Rowan has been on the hunt for something to quench her thirst for adventure and once she thought she found it, it vanished a step before the line of forever. Half hiding, half exploring somewhere new, Rowan is ready to set her eyes on the sea for a while and hear some stories of dreadlocked surfers and their sightings of glimmering hair with a tail on the end.
Model: Lily James☽ Henry Cabidis, 22
@lonaxos | the sceptic
Nearly plucked from an 80s surfing movie, Henry Cabidis lives for activity, especially in the water. He’s a guy’s guy, the one women chase after, and all it takes a straight smolder and he’s got a new side piece for the night. But he’s too a family man, always there to help his mother on their ever tight budget and tickle his sister while watching cartoons on Saturday morning. A simple boy who grew up almost too fast, Henry’s ready for another summer of bros, brews and boards.
Model: Vito Basso☽ Chrstina “Tina” Li, 28
@azyrules | a drama drooling skeptic
Willing to do anything to get her hands on some spilled tea, this Los Angeles based “journalist” is ready to get that exclusive interview with the dreamy surfers the second they step into the parking lot to peel off their wetsuits. Celebs, children, and crazies – she’s ready for them all and she has her own little tricks on how to get them. Always equipped with a tape recorder and a damning question, Tina’s ready to sculpt some reports to make or break these stars, hopefully more breaking than lifting.
Model: Xiao Wen Ju☽ Henry Holloway, 21
@spacelava | a hardcore sceptic
Easily annoyed and too musical for the good of others, Henry’s lowkey pissed to be here; His life dictated by his father’s unhealthy obsession with mermaids, Henry dreams of being his own person and getting the heck out of Seaside. There’s the image he puts up and the substance of who he really is and while one is much tougher than the other, the sensitive side is the one rarely seen. Beriddled all through schooling because of his father’s crazy eyes, Henry’s band, Karate Turtles, has made it big in Seaside and, assuming Henry survives the surprisingly cliff-hanging end to his bio, you may just happen to see this local band make a High Tide appearance.
Model: Ezra Miller☽ Savannah Morgan, 22
@bloodystilinski | skeptic
Secretly reversing her stance on mystic creatures, Savannah is the victim of resting b-tch face but don’t take it personally. A realist in her own mind, Savannah has lived nearly all of her life in the now sprawling town of Seaside and it says something that she’s returned on her own accord. With annoying secret from the new side of her very new step-father’s family that’s majorly challenged her stance on mermaids, she knows she’s in for a summer of deep sh-t and deeper dives.
Model: Elizabeth Wood☽ Paul Murray, 25
@agentdanascully | the photographer
A man supported to letting his sister not so inadvertently drive his life, Paul Murray is all over the place. A friend of surfers and investigators, he’s doing double time to cover High Tide and potentially catch a glimpse of some mythical friends. A mid-western boy who just wants to make it big in a field he adores, Paul now calls Seaside his temporary home base, making frequent trips to catch a crisp view but with all the gigs coming in maybe it’s bound to be something more.
Model: Avan Jogia☽ Adeline Wright, 22
@punkette123 | Observer, Photographer
Growing up with an inspiring grandfather who wanted so badly to have others believe and two parents who revered the notion, Adeline’s ready to be swayed either way. She’s open to hearing your claims either way about mermaids but will never answer a question about herself. In the spotlight from a young age, Adeline’s ready to take her popularity to she her parents that her grandfather didn’t devote his life to nonsense, and she’s found herself in the perfect place to do it.

Hey y'all (I hate that this word has become part of my vocabulary but I guess it's just the price of going to school in the midwest and I avoided it for so long but have finally succumbed, I apologise), I've just retagged you all in the comments to my intro set but can you just tell me if you got a notification like "mint mentioned you in [TP] Founder of spaghetti Saturdays"? I'm still very confused about where you actually get notified for being mentioned haha
@mint @filthysoul @Followyourbliss @lecoupdefoudre @lonaxos @ayzrules @spacelava @bloodystilinski @agentdanascully @Punkette123
if so sorry for so many tags -
@mint so I got a notification for this but not for the set - I don't think you guys received the tag in my set either zzzz
-
@lonaxos ick that's incredibly annoying
-
@mint I never get notifs for anything except being tagged in topics and then those barely work half the time tbh
-
Alright so tried and tested and here are my suggestions:
- Post your intro sets here and tag everyone in the post so they see it
- Comment on each other's sets to post your ideas so others can see but it's probably going to be best if you pm each other to finish plotting because without being notified in comments plotting is going to suck and plotting within this topic thread would be chaos
- Also could be a good idea to come up with relationship ideas and put them in the description for your set, either just ideas in general or ideas specific for each character (I'll prob be doing this once i stop procrastinating) so things go more smoothly
Also: events are coming out soon!! So if you have any ideas or want your characters to post anything please let me know!
Stayed tuned for messages from me on how much I adore your character and some relationship ideas for our characters@mint @filthysoul @Followyourbliss @lecoupdefoudre @lonaxos @ayzrules @spacelava @bloodystilinski @agentdanascully @Punkette123

○ Grace Stins - @mint~~ ~~ ~~
Short Summary of Adeline:
Grandfather was a true believer of mermaids although he never gave away his reason as to why. Adeline was raised by non-believers who wanted her to have nothing to do with her grandfather. Much of her life is in front of the camera because if she is not surfing she is modeling. She's into mystery novels and classical music, can't survive without at least two cups of coffee, has grown to hate the smell of sunscreen but wears it anyway, and never wants to talk about herself.
~~ ~~ ~~
I'll Keep Posting:
Grace 'Hallie' Stins, @mint
Adeline is very good at knowing when someone is faking it. She's a real pro-surfer and although she can't prove it, she knows something isn't right with 'Hallie'. Furthermore should Adeline discover she's a reporter, it won't go over well for someone who circulates the famous circles. (I'm thinking maybe something along the lines of Adeline finds out and we can take it from there)
Arabella Rown, @filthysoul
They both run in the same circles of Hollywood and fame so maybe they know each other preceding the surf competition. Arabella is a bit more outgoing then Adeline but I think they could be good friends
Fannie Briggs, @followyourbliss
Fanatic believers have always made Adeline a bit jumpy just because she never knows why they are doing it. With Fannie Adeline will probably have a hard time relating because of the different reasons to believe. Adeline won’t turn her away though
Rowan Burres, @lecoupdefoudre
Adeline is the type of person to e very organized and well planed out and she’s trying to learn to let loose a little bit. Rowan is her opposite but maybe she needs a friend her complete opposite in order to enjoy life.

I'm reposting my intro with some plotting ideas for each character!
○ Fannie Briggs ( @followyourbliss )
Alright so I was thinking since you’re looking for someone who is annoyed by Fannie, Bella fits that pretty well. She wouldn’t fully hate her or anything but since she’s trying to hide the fact that mermaids are real she would be annoyed that Fannie is so avid about proving they are.
○ Rowan Burres ( @lecoupdefoudre )
Maybe Bella sees her exploring the town on one of her walks and they spend the day together spontaneously and spill some of their deepest darkest secrets getting positively drunk. Of course they won’t remember it the next day but they switched numbers and form a close connection? Maybe bonded by the fact that they are both essentially “running” from something.
○ Henry Cabidis ( @lonaxos )
For Cabidis (I’m using last names bc when I use Henry my ass confuses the two ahdjdkd anw,,) I was thinking they have a small platonic relationship based on their love for surfing. Bella uses it as a way to block out her writer's block and drama in her life. If you have any other ideas I’m down!
○ Tina Li ( @ayzrules )
So for Tina, I was thinking she could be the person for this drama plot I was thinking of. So since she’s about drama and she’s a gossip columnist maybe she dug up some more dirt and she realized Bella is Arabella. She comes to Bella and tells her what she knows and blackmails her somehow?? What do you think?
○ Henry Holloway ( @spacelava )
We already plotted I just wanted to make sure to add you!! So hdkdkdmd Holloway and Bella are gonna be musical rivals.
○ Savannah Morgan ( @bloodystilinski )
I don’t really have any super cool ideas for Savannah if I’m honest. They are both chill and give off a little bit of a ‘bitchy’ attitude. Do you have any plot points you desperately want to hit?
○ Paul Murray ( @agentdanascully )
For Paul I was thinking a short summer fling, nothing too serious. Bella catches him taking some photos and like the annoying yet lovable girl she is, jumps right in front of his camera and starts posing. How do you feel about that?
○ Adeline Wright ( @punkette123 )
I’m a bit brain wiped on what to plot between the two. Do you have anything you’d like?
○ Grace Stins ( @mint )
We already have some things plotted! A casual friendship filled with small adventures and hanging out on the beach.

HENRY HOLLOWAY PLOTTING/INTRO
a/n: decided to repost because plotting like this seems a lot easier, credit to the original maker. PLEASE let me know what you think about the ideas I wrote down and if you have more or even better PLEASE i'm (desperately) open to suggestions. The usernames that are in bold means that these are the people I've already plotted with.- Henry's Audition
- Henry In Short (my girl @mint nailed this)
Easily annoyed and too musical for the good of others, Henry’s lowkey pissed to be here; His life dictated by his father’s unhealthy obsession with mermaids, Henry dreams of being his own person and getting the heck out of Seaside. There’s the image he puts up and the substance of who he really is and while one is much tougher than the other, the sensitive side is the one rarely seen. Beriddled all through schooling because of his father’s crazy eyes, Henry’s band, Karate Turtles, has made it big in Seaside and, assuming Henry survives the surprisingly cliff-hanging end to his bio, you may just happen to see this local band make a High Tide appearance.
○ Fannie Briggs ( @Followyourbliss )
Have known each other their entire lives, well sort of. Three years his junior, Fannie is as obsessed with mermaids as Henry's father is and that's not the craziest thing of all. She too claims to be saved by those half human half fish people! It's safe to say that Henry can't stand her. Actually, to be quite honest, Henry barely knows about her existence, but if he knew about her a bit more, he wouldn't be able to stand her. Just like he can't stand the rest of those, delusional 'believers'.
○ Rowan Burres ( @lecoupdefoudre )
She's one of those many tourists that come to try their luck in this boring old town. Very pretty, with a camera that seems to be glued on her chest. (I'm not exactly sure about their interactions, tbh)
○ Henry Cabidis ( @lonaxos )
Henry C. is how Henry H. thinks he looks like. Or at least wants to look like. Are they rivals? Who knows. Henry H. does envy him lowkey - because he too wants to be showered with endless affection and spend his days helping out his mother, instead of wasting his youth pumping gas and selling sour candy to a bunch of 12 year olds. They could be good friends, one day. But for now, Henry H can't stand Henry C.'s irresistible charm and carelessness.
○ Tina Li ( @ayzrules )
SHE'S HOW OLD? Makes sense - it was about time Henry's mommy issues caught up with him. Now he wonders when his daddy issues will pop out. He has been secretly harboring a crush on her ever since she came to the gas station in the middle of the night and lowkey flirted with him? Henry can't remember, he barely slept that day.
○ Savannah Morgan ( @bloodystilinski )
A year older than Henry, Savannah is very much as skeptic when it comes to mermaids as he is. And maybe that's what brought them closer when his mom left and he was forced to take care of his brother and father simultaneously? Maybe they even dated the summer before she went to college?
○ Paul Murray ( @agentdanascully )
Way too cool for Henry's liking, because in his mind he is the one who should be standing out the most with his bedhead and custom guitar. And yet, he constantly has competition. Not that he cares. He and Paul eventually bond over the fact that despite being the most obnoxious place on the face of the earth, Seaside does have its perks.
○ Arabella Rown ( @filthysoul )
Henry doesn't like that Arabella Rown and her band of misfits strolled down Seaside like they owned the place and took Karate Turtles' precious Friday night spot. He also doesn't like the fact that people seem to prefer her music better than Karate Turtles'. He needs to get rid of her, or at least scare her away, but he's not desperate enough to use his father's rambling. At least not yet.
○ Grace Stins ( @mint )
Unlikely best friends? How did the two of them became friends in the first place? Was it before or after Grace came to their gig? Henry can't quite remember, but all he knows is that one day she was suddenly there, in his life - spending her free time keeping him company while he was working yet another one of those boring shifts at the gas station.
○ Adeline Wright ( @Punkette123 )
Honestly what is it with these believers? Well, at least Henry thinks this strange new girl is a believer, because all she does is take in all of Seaside's craziness. He doesn't know how to interact with her nor will he try. Well, maybe he'll try. You never know.
