Name: G.M. Dark
Race: Human
Sexuality: Bisexual, but doesn't really talk about it, and hasn't been with a man for at least 20 years. I'd say he'd be ashamed of his past experiences, but he definitely spent his teenage/young adult years in and around the burgeoning LGBTQ cultures of the 20s, because he would have turned 18 in 1925, and the semi-visible aspects of gay life didn't start to be hidden again until the 30s, so from ~16 to ~23 (I'm not sure exactly when the queer culture of the Americas began to be locked away again), he was around these relatively public aspects of non-heterosexual life because of where he lived at the time (that said--I doubt this wave hit smaller towns like where we are currently set, and like I said, it became shameful again in the 30s, which is why he doesn't really talk about his history. In his heart-of-hearts he knows he isn't straight, though)
Abilities: I mean, he can woodwork. He doesn't make canoes or anything, but he's been known to make a wooden train or a little wooden carousel where you turn the little key and the horses go up and down. He also likes to draw and is fluent in Arabic.
Personality: Quiet and intimidating. He is very somber, and not very forthcoming, but if you get him talking, he has a lot to share. He maintains a neutral expression most times, but it doesn't come from a place of "real men don't show emotions!" it just isn't something which comes naturally to him. People often want/expect him to be hyper-masculine because he's quite tall, bearded, and athletic, but he's definitely more similar to the "philosopher" archetype than he is to the "jock" archetype.
Age: 48

(Soooooo I don't have a good drawing of Ivy as a child so enjoy this Ghibli-inspired picrew of her)
Name: Ivy Q.H. Dark
Race: Human
Sexuality: She is 10 years old and hasn't really begun to consider her sexuality yet.
Abilities: She's really good at multiplication and when she was 8, she won her school's Spelling Bee. She's also good at climbing trees and likes writing stories.
Personality: Adventurous and bright, but can be a bit stubborn and willful.. That said, she's a bit awkward around other kids, especially because she wasn't raised in an environment which was all that keen on gender-roles, so she doesn't quite know where she fits among children who received a more traditional upbringing.
Age: 10 (Eleven in October!)

(She has freckles, but my friend who made the illustration forgot them whoopsies)
Name: Rose McGann
Race: Human
Sexuality: Lesbian, but because it's the fifties, she publicly identifies as "finding men a distraction," and "I have some good gal pals"
Abilites: Rose can play a pretty wide variety of instruments, but her favourites are violin and piano. She also has a harmonica, guitar, and spoons, and she's surprisingly good at archery, but it doesn't come up often.
Personality: Mostly kind and generous, but she doesn't suffer fools and isn't a pushover. She's a very open and friendly person who will call you her friend the same day you meet her. Because she's an immigrant, she kind of feels like she has something to prove.
Age: 24

Name: Lukais "Luka" Luseth
Pronouns: He/him
Age: 34
Physical description: Very tall (1'95m), muscular man. Generally strong with some fat, he's a farmer not a bodybuilder. He's got dark brown eyes and long black hair he keeps collected in a low ponytail. Some sort of wide-y goatee is going on on his chin. He has light brown skin, olive.
Brief personality: Gentle giant, very caring and mild tempered until someone threatens his family. A romantic at heart who'd like a big family some day.
Bio:

He partially grew up in an orphanage along with his little brother after his parents both went missing because of the war, and later were declared dead. He found happiness with his adoptive family, an old lady and plenty of animals. Now he takes care of his inheritance. At the beginning he did odd jobs here and there to bring home some money, then he started learning about the farm. He was supposed to go abroad to study so he could become a doctor, his dream job. However, when their step-mother died he chose to stay instead. Now he's a grown man who makes money by renting some of the house's empty rooms to strangers, lending out and training horses as well as managing the terrains he inherited. There's animals, plants etc to take care of, besides the house. He has picked up cooking and baking as a hobby during the past few years, and he mostly relies on dogs to watch for intruders at night. His top priority is that his brother gets to do whatever he wants for a living, since he couldn't. Lukais would love to marry and have kids before he turns 40, but his hopes aren't high.

Name: Ishade "Isa" Luseth
Pronouns:
He/him
Age: 23
Physical description: Like his brother, he's tall. He looks taller than he actually is because he's got a slender build, more of a runner. Because of some genetic mutation he has purple eyes. His eyelashes would put a doe to shame. He's got some tattoos. His hair is black and trying to be a mullet that isn't quite there, and there's a lazy almost goatee on his chin if you squint. He limps a bit on his right side, and his skin is the similar brown tone as his brother if a bit paler. He doesn't leave the house as much. The dark bags under his eyes make him look a good few years older than he is.
Brief personality: A bit of a loner and a weirdo, he loves dogs and painting but doesn't like people much.
Bio:

Like his brother he grew up in an orpahanage only to be adopted by a lovely widow, a bit old for kids but they were both old. He's always looked up to his brother and had a bit of a troublemaker phase when he was 14. During that time he also had an accident while horse-riding and he now has a permanent limp. He's aware of how much his brother has sacrificed and still does to keep the money flowing, and it's the only reason why he tries to be nice to the people who rent rooms at their place. He travels often in search of work and inspiration and he's slowly building a reputation as the fantastic artist that he is. He's had some partners that didn't last. At 20 a friend gifted him a rottweiler, Sophie, his pride and joy. They are always together, day and night, she's his best friend.

Name: A. Ikanov
Pronouns: N/A
Age:
26
Physical description: A good couple of heads shorter than the Luseth siblings. An albino with platinum blonde hair and red-ish eyes, as well as a very pale complexion. Torso, back of the neck and groin are adorned with tattoos.
Brief personality: A cheeky bastard who likes to go out, party and then crash in friends' houses. Doesn't get along with the parents, and never will.
Bio:

A bit of a mysterious person who became friends with Ishade about seven years ago and has stayed around ever since. Loves to eat, laze on the couch like a napping cat and fool around. Shares a last name with some dangerous people from the city, the Ikanov family is well known for having few friends and fewer enemies, also because they are no good. Still any questions are left unanswered.

Name: Mitch McCowell
Sex: Male
Age: 22
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 150 lb
Sexuality: Love is love, man.
Race: We're all a part of the human race, aren't we?

Appearance: A real skinny guy with a decent tan and clear skin. Peach fuzz at most, he never really could grow a beard like the rest of his friends could. Shaggy brown hair that extends down to his shoulders. Has a snub nose with a rounded face and muted blue eyes. Wears a loose-fitting cardigan with vertical blue and black stripes, as well as some baggy double-pleated trousers and brown boating shoes. Has a pair of rounded sunglasses that he wears when outside and a pair of bifocals for any other time.

Abilities: Mitch has the tendency to be able to mediate between some of the most heated conflicts and can bring others back down to earth. He doesn't go around reciting beat poetry like any other beatnik at the time; he feels it to be too inaccessible and snobby. Instead, he prefers to communicate via music, and he is pretty solid on a guitar and piano. He's also rather handy with a toolkit, but it doesn't tend to come up much.

Personality: A beatnik that doesn't fit in with the other beatniks, and a hippie for a counterculture that doesn't even exist yet, Mitch has some trouble finding a peer group that would be willing to accept him. It's never bothered him, though, because he can find his way making some meaningful connections regardless of the scene. He's soft-spoken and thoughtful; you'll rarely see him get a temper with anyone. In a room full of people, he usually prefers to mesh with the crowd instead of stand out in the open, and that does just fine for him.
 
((OH SH- I COMPLETELY FORGOT !!))

Name: Sylvia Holmes
Race: Human
Age: 16

Appearance: Sylvia is a 5' 3" tall female with pale skin, steely gray eyes, and bright orange hair. She is often found wearing a red knee-length dress. Her face is spattered with freckles.

Abilities: Sylvia is an expert storyteller, she can weave stories with high highs and low lows, almost on a whim. She doesn't believe in writing her stories down, fearing that people will copy them as their own.

Personality: Usually out of sight, Sylvia likes to stay on the sidelines, feeling at ease to not be in the spotlight. She will, however, stand up for what's right if the situation calls for it.
 
Neighbors

Name:
Selene Maryam Dunham, Mrs. Dunham.
Pronouns: She/her
Age: 36
Physical description: A woman of average height, with long, wavy and red-ish copper colored hair. She has very pale skin with barely any marks and greyish eyes. She's never underdressed, and rarely seen smiling when she isn't interacting with her family. Her features are sharp and her movements graceful.

Brief personality: A cold hearted woman, difficult to get along with. She has no regard for other's feelings most of the time and can be quite mordant with her words. The only people free of this treatment are her children. Still, behind this frozen exterior she's a very intelligent woman who loves long talks over a warm cup of tea, chess and animals.

Bio:

The Luseth have known her for over 15 years, since she married into the Dunham family and moved into the house next door. She was 20, and her husband Gabriel was 22. Luka was 18 at the time. Their families got along and so did they. Selene was relatively happy, her own family, the Ferrah, were pretty wealthy. The Dunham are, to this day, an incredibly wealthy family. Most moved away to bigger cities, but Selene chose to stay with her kids in the house she shared with her husband before the war. He died fighting in Japan in 1945, a few months before the conflict ended. By then the couple had a baby boy, also named Gabriel, who had been born in 1943. Their second baby was born in late 1945, her name is Olivia. She never got to meet her father.

This was a hard time for Selene especially, who secretly renounced the church. Her motives being a God that cruel didn't deserve her faith. The Dunham family took this harshly, but she had the support of Keith, her brother in law. As a new widow, full of pain, her "crazy" decisions were dismissed. She was however pretty much forced to baptise Olivia against her wishes. During the next few years, Keith, Lukais and Selene formed a very close knitted group. And even though nowadays Keith works and lives overseas, and Luka is as busy as ever, their friendship stands strong.

Today, Selene lives her life in relative solitude with her kids and a houseful of servants. She has maids to tend to her needs, a driver to take her anywhere... She's one of Lukais' top investors. Horses are one of the things that wake passion in her. She used to go over for dinner in the boarding house at least once a week, but the past few years it's been the Luseth visiting her instead.

Name: Gabriel Newt Dunham

Pronouns: He/Him

Age: 12

Physical description: A young boy of average height for his age. He has his father's dark hair, short and straight, and his mother's fair eyes. His skin is tanned from playing in the sun. He's always well dressed.

Brief personality: Polite and a bit timid, little Gabriel only gets in trouble when he listens to his troublemaker of a sister. He's very protective of his mother, and she never keeps secrets from them. Honesty, transparency and trust have been instilled in them since they were little.

Name: Olivia Maryam Dunham
Pronouns: She/her
Age: 9
Physical description: The spitting image of her father, with dark curly hair and dark brown eyes. Only she wears her hair a bit longer. Liv loves elegant dresses, only to get them stained with mud the next second.

Brief personality: She knows why her dad is gone, and she knows why both her mother and their good neighbor Mr. Luseth get misty eyes when they stare at her for too long. There's nothing she can do about it. Even if she does behave most of the time, she's a good girl who loves her family, there's a wild strike in her. For now, it manifests as her playing in the mud and getting herself and her brother in trouble. She loves horses and fantasy stories.

Other: The Dunham have a few guard dogs, dobermans, that help protect the house mostly at night. Selene doesn't tolerate unwanted visitors and trespassers.
