If you're looking for places to add in characters, please take a look at the FAMILY TREE!

Right now we're definitely looking for more of the youngest generation. Gabriel (hippotherapist) has five, Cassandra (satinandsilk) has four bio and two adopted, Caius (sodecadent) has five bio and one (female) adopted, and Aurelia (organizing) has two bio.

Gabriel and Caius are also both looking for their partners, I believe.

Hello!

I posted a while back about bringing in a character with Rachel McAdams face. Originally I'd wanted her to be one of the eight second-gen siblings but unfortunately life threw a spanner into the works and I had to withdraw my plans. I know I've spoken to a few of you, and the plans I had for this character are hopefully going to stay similar enough that we could pick up where we left off (if you'd like to, that is!), but for now, I'd just love some help in figuring out where she could fit into the family and then hopefully I can take it from there.

ETA: I found my original post: https://asylums.insanejournal.com/aspendalelines/502.html

Hello! I figured this would be a place to check and see if there would be any need or want for this guy? I'd love to join if he'd fit in somewhere.

Hello everyone, I am finally getting around to setting this guy here up properly so I figured I'd go look for a few lines. Caius here will be the second oldest of the first generation and possibly the lawyer? I am really good at making decisions today. If anyone wants to work out an established line within the family or something recent/new, I'm all ears.

And if anyone wants to bring in a new character, he has a few children between 20 and 35, an adopted child or two, and is in need of a partner (m or f) - not necessarily the mother of his children.

Hello, everyone. I probably know some of you from previous games, and with some semblance of normalcy returning, have time to return to rp. Brining in Kristen Stewart (likely updating to more recent/blonde icons) as sister to the Teresa Palmer hold, though beyond that, pretty much an open slate. She'll be lesbian, and in a relationship with an older woman along with her sister, though all that's still being worked out. Currently thinking she'll either be working in law or medicine, though not set in stone yet. Open to filling other needs as necessary if anyone has a need she can fill.

Hi there.

I have Holland held here potentially as the younger of Cassandra's bio kids and other than her job and being a part of the family, she's pretty open line-wise so I'd love to get some things discussed/talked about etc. :)

I'm pretty sure I've played with some of you before so YAY. I'm at ~starlingbright (and was AJ and Starla King).

She's pansexual and poly, and pretty open to things so yeah. I'm so terrible at things these things LOLa but friends, family, everything LOL I'm also open to something new happening or being down instead of something established too.

*waves*

Hiya! I have Teresa Palmer held and I am wondering would anyone have anything for her? In or out of the family, but likely second gen if in the family. I was thinking about making her some kind of winter sports pro but could do something else if anyone had any job/work ideas, too!

Hello everyone! This is Wendy, sister to j_thomas and new arrival to town after hard times forced her to reach out to her brother for help. She's a nurse, a day dreamer, a collector of snow globes and souvenir cups, and a lover of cats and house plants. She is very much looking forward to getting to know her brother's new friends.

Just for anyone who needs it, the game is open and running!

Also there are character tags in the IC comm, as well as a couple of misc tags, and a couple of ooc event and group tags in the OOC comm for planning and such. If I've missed any character tags, let me know, and if there are any IC or OOC tags anyone would like me to add, please do the same.

I'm planning to bring this guy here into the game. He's one of Katherine's & Alexander's adopted kids. I'm thinking he has a hip coffee house/cafe or something like that. Anyone have anything in particular they could use from him? I understand he has some siblings already in game, or getting ready for the game.

IF anyone is thinking of bringing in a family adjacent person I would love Luca Marinelli as his primary outside the family partner and Charlize Theron as anything she wants him to be.

Hey everyone, I am planning on bringing in a tom hardy pb and figured i'd see if someone could use him for something specific and if there is a preference for him being a biological or adopted Bennett.

Due to some questions I was asked, this has been added to the guidelines for playable characters.

Outside of the family and significant others, some extended family is playable. This can be a sibling or other relative of a significant other, or biological relatives of adoptive children, extended members of the Bennett family, such as cousins to the first generation, or even ex-partners who end up in relationships with other family members. There is a maximum of two extended family members per character, and please check with the mod before advertizing for them.

Because after all, incest can be between other family members as well. It is preferred to keep things as much within the family as possible, but this should enable characters outside the family to be part of things as needed/wanted by players.

I was just wondering if anyone was looking for anything specific outside the family? Thinking of trying to fill a line with one of my final characters.

Rather belated intro, especially as I am the mod, but here are my first three!

Talya, in this journal, is the other half of a pair of twins, her sister is astoried and they are in a committed poly relationship right now. Talya is more into women overall, and would mostly be interested in women outside of Josh (male partner) but ask if you are interested in backstory or current story with males within the family.

Cassandra at satinandsilk is the matriarch of the family since their father's passing. She and Aurelia organizing run the two Bennett Hotels in Aspen, and she is also the current keeper of the family secret, being the one who makes sure it remains a secret outside of the family, helping with bringing non family partners into the secret, and whatever else is needed.
Lines I'm specifically looking for for her include her husband, who I am up for having be much older than she is, and they would have an open relationship and other partners of more or less seriousness as things develop, a son she had at a very young age (not necessarily sexual but very much open to it) whether or not his biological father is her current husband, other children both biological and adopted, a daughter granddaughter who she has in mind to be the future keeper of the family secret and a partner (preferably female but open to discussion with a male) of one of her siblings from outside the family she has always had a close bond with - similarly to Aurelia the sexual aspect may wax and wane over the years.

Caleb at athousanddreams is the second eldest of the adopted children, and in a long term committed relationship with Aurelia organizing, his adopted sister. The exact nature of their relationship and commitment is generally only known to the family, and they don't hide their couple nature in public, but they don't really advertize it either. There have been rumors of everything from a secret marriage (not a legal one, at least) to him donating genetic material for their children and everything in between. But as far as Caleb is concerned, his family is his priority and those who matter know how it happened, the rest is really no one's business.
I'm open to most things with him.

Who has lines open that they're looking to fill? Or new characters you want to bring in with a partner or storyline in mind? Hit me up! 💋

Hi there!

I have two characters I'm developing and will likely be open to another down the track.

First is the twin of the youngest of the biological siblings of the first generation, a Crystal Reed pb. She's going to be an archer - as well as doing it as professional sport, she runs classes on it, part time at the university in Aspen. She's open to any and all lines and if there's anything she could fill, would love to hear it. Bisexual.

Second is the father of the twins pbed by Deborah Ann Woll and their sibling pbed by Luca Hollestelle. He is the eldest of the adoptive children, and could be up to his late 50s/early 60s depending on the pb I end up choosing as I haven't done that yet - I am open to suggestions if you have an older male pb you'd like to see around as well. He's got a lot of those eldest child feelings regardless, and loves his family, loves life, tends to throw himself into projects, though he's considering retirement. Lines I am actively looking for for him are some sons - preferably older than his daughters though he'd be open to one younger than the twins (mid 20s-ish), and if someone were interested in another daughter that would be good as well. I'm also looking for a long term female relationship, either in or out of the family for him, someone late thirties/early forties if in the family, close to his age if out of the family. and as he's adopted I'd like them to be the mother of at least one of his children if she is part of the family.

Hey guys I'm bringing in Connor here one of the adopted first generation family, he's sort of a nomad traveling a lot for his work but he always finds his way back to the family between trips. So he checks in frequently. For all that he can be a little gruff and grumpy he's a family guy at heart and is very connected when he's in town. He'll drop anything for them when needs be and otherwise is usually off doing his own thing. I'd love to nail down a couple more connections for him.

And maybe bring in a second? I dunno is anyone looking for other specific lines?

Hi there! I have two girls I'm hoping to bring into the game. August here is pb'd by Crystal Reed. She's in the youngest of the first generation, and comes with a twin. She 35, and owns a dog sledding business (Outdoor Adventures). Hoping to find a Significant Other(female) for her. Would love connections with her siblings, and or other relatives.

kija She's the younger sister of the Deborah Ann Woll twins. Right now going with the name Quinsea Bennett. Age 23. Other then that, she's still a work in progress. Lines?

Hello! I have a KJ Apa pb I am hoping to bring in, I'm just looking for his family right now to fit him in somewhere.. aged 18-21, in need of parents from First Generation of kids! He's a blank slate right now, so I am open to filling lines if needed.
