@David
31, is a tattoo artist with a quiet smile and sharp tongue, born in Phillipsburg, New Jersey, but raised skating the DIY parks of Easton, Pennsylvania. He spends his days etching memories into strangers’ skin and his nights filling sketchbooks with abstract designs he’ll likely never use. He journals every face and whispered secret under the needle, moving through life stubbornly independent yet quietly longing to share his work. Ironically, David has no lasting tattoos of his own, only semi-permanent ones that fade before anyone can ask why.

@Zori
8 years old, missing her two front teeth, loves her pink frog hat and wears mismatched socks on purpose. Loves space, wants to be an astronaut, and can name all the planets in order backwards. Her mom calls her “my little genius.” Zori carries around a notebook filled with rocket designs that look like castles. When she’s bored, she builds spaceships out of cereal boxes and pretends the bathtub is the Milky Way.
$125
@Dina
12, lives in a quiet Massachusetts suburb and spends most of her time collecting old postcards from thrift stores. She sorts them by year across her bedroom floor, studying the handwriting and sketching the places they mention in a worn notebook, convinced she’ll visit them all one day. Dina fills the quiet with imagination, writing short stories between homework and doodles, most about the life she thinks she’d have if she had a mom waiting at home to read them

@Zena
46, is a fine art professor known for brutal critiques and an obsession with the power of a single, perfect line. She tells her students that if a mark isn’t intentional, it doesn’t belong on the page, a rule she enforces with unnerving precision. Zena also tells people she was born in Paris, raised among galleries and smoke filled cafés, though the truth is she grew up in Ohio and didn’t see Paris until her late twenties. Years earlier, a fire in her college studio destroyed nearly everything she had made, leaving her with nothing but charcoal and cheap paper. Since then she’s believed the fewer lines you make, the less the world can take from you. She still escapes to Paris whenever she can, sketching strangers in cafés and quietly living inside the life she once invented.

@Christy May
31, part time bartender, part-time college student studying psychology. Everyone calls her “Christy May” like it’s one word. She wears her heart on her sleeve and tells customers more than they should probably know. Christy May once packed her car and drove cross country with no map, only turning when she felt like it. She says it was the happiest she’s ever been. She keeps a shoebox under her bed filled with postcards she wrote to herself on that trip, never mailed, just reminders of who she was trying to become.
$45
@Christopher Blue
30 years old, local musician. Plays guitar at the bar every Friday night, and has a huge crush on Christy May. His voice raspy but soulful, he never made it big but he never stopped playing. Says music is the only thing that’s never left him. Christopher had a daughter once, but they don’t talk anymore. He always plays her favorite song at the end of every set, just in case she’s listening. His guitar strap is patched with duct tape, but he treats it like gold.
$45
@Mike
57 years old, owns a quaint coffee shop in a small town. He’s been in business for 20 years and has watched gentrification change his neighborhood right in front of his eyes. His kids are grown and moved away, leaving him with the shop and the regulars who keep him company. He enjoys his early mornings, the smell of roasted beans, and the quiet hum before the world wakes up. Mike still keeps the same chipped mug his wife used to drink from, never serving anyone else with it.
$50
@Martha
51 years old, born Bertha and changed her name to Martha at the age of twenty two. She’s a proud owner of 9 cats, a turtle, and a husband of 16 years. Martha is a server at the local diner where she’s been working since she was fourteen. It’s all she knows, it’s where she met her husband, had her first date, and made her first mixed cocktail. Her spirit lights the room and it keeps her customers coming back and the tips rolling in. She keeps old Polaroids of the diner taped to her fridge like they’re family portraits.
$50
@Clown A** N****
24, nobody really knows his real name. He gave himself that nickname one night drunk on the corner and it just stuck. Works odd jobs, always got a hustle, never consistent but somehow always has money for sneakers and tattoos. He jokes loud, laughs harder, but behind all that he’s carrying weight, his mom died when he was 10, and his dad’s been locked up ever since. He doesn’t trust nobody, but everybody trusts him to make the night a little lighter. He’s the type to spend his last twenty on shots for the group, even if it means he’s eating ramen all week.
$50
@Susan
33, works in corporate compliance and has perfected the tight smile people use when they’re about to cc your manager. She keeps color coded spreadsheets for everything, attends weekly Pilates, and believes most problems in life could be solved if people simply followed the rules. A few years ago she lost her husband to the man she once introduced as her “work husband,” a detail she now pretends never happened, though it lingers in every clipped email and passive aggressive meeting note she sends. Pilates was supposed to help her find balance, but it mostly gives her an extra hour each week to silently rehearse arguments she’s already won in her head. These days Susan moves through life with the quiet determination of someone who refuses to lose twice.
$50
@Danny Boy
22 years old, fresh face, still baby cheeks. Works at the corner store in the mornings and raps at night. Everybody calls him Danny Boy, though he hates it because he wants to be taken seriously as “D”. Crown.” He’s recorded a hundred songs but only released three. His grandmother raised him and still listens to his tracks even though she doesn’t understand the words. His friends say he’s like the modern day Malibu’s Most Wanted, but when he’s in the booth, his voice carries a hunger that feels nothing like a joke.
$40
@Chef Pesto
56, is an underground pastry legend from South Asia, drifting from city to city with desserts so delicate they feel almost architectural. He mentors young bakers, takes temporary kitchen jobs, then vanishes before fame catches up. Pesto didn’t start as a chef, he was a ship mechanic, learning recipes from grandmothers and street vendors in every port. The twist? The notebook he carries is empty. He can’t read or write; every recipe lives entirely in his memory, a moving archive of flavors he carries wherever he goes.
$65
@Ron
44, looks like a boxer, solid and unshakable, though strangers often judge him before he speaks, a prejudice he’s faced his whole life through quiet racism and wary glances. What they don’t see is where he truly spends himself: volunteering at children’s hospitals, running gentle boxing sessions for kids battling cancer, letting them laugh and throw soft punches while he dramatically falls to the mat. The nurses say he never misses a visit. Few know why. Years ago, he lost someone small and brave to the same disease, a loss tied to a mistake he’s never forgiven himself for. That secret drives him, week after week, making sure every kid in that room feels like a champion.
$30
@Finster
23 years old, hacking systems and trolling online since he was 14 and never once thought of stopping. He makes his money by installing malware and holding people’s devices for ransom. They say Finster knows more secrets than the priest and has more tech than Dexter’s Laboratory. He doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke, just listens. The only thing he ever wanted but never got was a father. Sometimes, he hacks into strangers’ webcams and just watches their families sit down for dinner, then logs off before the ache sets in too deep.
$45
@Kaycie
26 year old product designer from Michigan, living in Easton since graduating Lafayette. Kaycie is currently in a four year poly relationship her parents don’t know about and wouldn’t approve of. This hurts her deeply and is one of many reasons she attends weekly therapy sessions. She loves art, long walks, and the festivals that go on year round downtown. Her apartment is filled with houseplants she names after Greek gods, and she swears they listen when she talks.
$250
@Lenard
34, math teacher…well, substitute. He used to be in a band but now suffers from depression due to “not making it big” after taking out a $100k loan to fund the band, the tour, and the rockstar lifestyle of his group “ABCD.” He currently lives with his sister in Boston and loves doing yoga and his newest hobby, joining a local running club. He smokes a little weed here and there to help with anxiety, but overall he’s a great guy with a love for Guitar Hero, he’s top ten in the nation. Sometimes, when the house is quiet, he straps on his old guitar, plays the same riffs that once had him believing stadiums were his destiny, and laughs at how life reroutes dreams.
$400
@Aaron
25, was born in the country but thrives in the city. He doesn’t drive, he bikes everywhere, logging impossible miles rain or shine, treating the streets like his personal playground. Addicted to adrenaline, he chases extreme sports and records it all through his smart glasses. What started as an escape from quiet rural roads turned into a life fueled by motion, risk, and the constant need to push further.
$250
@Jacob
23, was born in Miami but thrives in New York, where his bold outfits, perfect brows, dramatic lashes, and meticulously styled hair make the city feel like his runway. Hopelessly romantic yet terrified to give anyone a chance, he pours his heart elsewhere, into a French poodle he insists is his child, his daily rituals of baking fresh bread, and tiny love notes, poems, and sketches he secretly leaves around the city for strangers to find. At home, he tolerates a roommate he secretly loathes…ever since the guy ate his Chinese takeout without asking, every shared space feels like a battlefield. While the world sees style and confidence, Jacob lives in quiet rebellion: sharing love without expecting it back, trusting that magic exists even when he’s too scared to claim it for himself.
$250
@Bradley
35, grew up in Lake Tahoe and works in IT by day, but his real obsession is a strange startup idea: engineering artificial chickens to lay eggs, a dream most people around him call ridiculous. Years ago, a one night trip to Nashville left him with a son he barely knows, a quiet reminder of choices he can’t undo. Still, Bradley keeps building, hoping that one day the world and maybe his son will understand why he never gave up.
$400
@Jeremy
29, is an entrepreneur and sneaker designer who runs an online shop experimenting with custom designs, from glow in the dark soles to hand painted leather. Street culture fuels his work; he roams the city photographing murals, graffiti, and everyday life, turning those moments into sketches that fill stacks of notebooks. For Jeremy, every sneaker is a small story from the streets, art meant to move as much as it dazzles.
$350
@Connor
39, is far right, twice divorced, and living alone in a rented one bedroom. Handsome in a quiet, worn way, he’s almost always in aviators, the kind of guy people assume has everything figured out. His car dashboard is lined with photos of the three kids he doesn’t see nearly enough, small reminders of the life that slipped through his hands. He talks tough about politics, country, and personal responsibility, but the twist is Connor secretly volunteers for overnight crisis hotlines, spending hours listening to strangers who feel as lost as he sometimes does.
$175
@Sasha
28, is a filmmaker and editor obsessed with capturing stories that often go unnoticed. She crafts short documentaries about urban life and protected styles, celebrating culture in ways that are intimate, sharp, and unapologetic. Coffee shops are her office, street corners her inspiration, and vintage film cameras her tools for seeing the world differently. Her notebooks overflow with story ideas, scene sketches, and half written dialogues, small fragments that hint at larger worlds she’s determined to show. For Sasha, every frame is a conversation, every edit a chance to honor lives, traditions, and moments that might otherwise slip quietly by.
$200
@Tyrone
32, is a photographer and DJ whose apartment doubles as a shrine to music and memory records stacked to the ceiling, vintage posters peeling on every wall. He plays local gigs, weaving beats that make rooms move, and behind the camera, he captures the pulse of urban life in sharp, intimate frames. That’s how he met Sasha, and he’s been quietly in love with her ever since, too afraid to take it further. He treasures the moments he catches of her on film, frames that live alongside his journals filled with beats, gigs, and photo series, a private archive of life, music, and longing that only he fully understands.
$200
@Mrs. Betty
67 years young, a retired art teacher who loves textures. She married young to a marine who made her a widow at the age of thirty. Mrs. Betty hasn’t been with another man since. She has 2 cats, loves animal documentaries, and attends her local sketch and coffee at her neighborhood art café. She collects fabrics from thrift stores, trims the edges, and stitches them into quilts she never sells. Some say she’s stuck in the past, but really, she’s just careful with her heart. Her students still send her letters, thanking her for teaching them how to “see.

@Bela
12 year old Girl Scout. She’d been in Girl Scouts since the age of five. She loved comics, baking cookies, making new friends, and was the top sales fundraiser year after year. One summer while at sleep away camp in Wyoming, Bela, a camp counselor, and a friend took a trip to the nearby convenience store to grab ingredients for s’mores. While there, Bela was lured away by a stranger when she went to use the bathroom. There was no trace of her. They searched for months. The case went cold. Bela was never seen again. Her parents still set a plate for her every Christmas, and her troop still keeps her badge sash folded neatly in the front of their display case.

@Cori
19 years old, portrait artist studying at the Art Institute of Chicago with a passion for architecture and design. She spends her nights sketching skylines and her mornings sketching faces on the train. She’s ambitious, stubborn, and carries a notebook where she writes ideas for buildings that “could never exist but should.” Though she’s young, she’s got the kind of focus that makes professors stop mid-lecture. Cori hums while she works, little melodies no one recognizes, a habit left over from childhood.
$150
@Dr. Bryant
46 years old, born in Vietnam. His parents were poor and gave him up for adoption to have a better life. At 6, he was adopted by a married couple in Washington state. They had two biological children, adding Bryant as the third. He attended Ohio State and earned his doctorate in psycho medicine. Today, he runs a respected practice, donating his time to orphanages, youth centers, and cancer hospitals. Dr. Bryant was married once and lost his husband and daughter in a tragic accident while vacationing in Italy. He wears their wedding rings on a chain under his shirt. His coworkers know him as polished and professional, but when no one’s looking, he talks to their photos on his desk before locking up for the night.

@Lori
71 years old. Works as a florist and swears she has a sixth sense for when someone is lying. Grew up in foster care, bounced between houses until she finally aged out at eighteen. She rents a small studio above her shop, paints abstract flowers on canvas at night, and has three unfinished novels on her laptop. Lori has a way of making strangers feel like old friends, though she’s secretly terrified of being left alone. She keeps a rocking chair by the window, watching couples pass by, wondering what it might’ve been like to have a family of her own.

@Gerald
17 years old from Jamaica, Queens, New York. Love soccer, photography, and adventure RP PC gaming. He’s the youngest of 11 and has trouble falling in love while ignoring red flags. His first heartbreak came from a girl he met online who turned out to be three years older than she said. Gerald still writes her letters he never sends. He wants to study abroad but doesn’t know how to break it to his mother, who clings to him like he’s still a child. His camera roll is full of sunsets from rooftops and blurry portraits of his siblings laughing.

@Henry
26, has built a life inside a box of his own making, a carefully contained world where he feels safe from a world that never seems kind. He self isolates, letting days bleed into nights, trying to keep the noise and the people out, even though the walls he’s built haven’t been kind to him either. Depression follows him like a shadow he can’t shake, thoughts looping endlessly with no exit sign. He doesn’t know another way to live, and every attempt to break free feels like a risk too heavy to take. Yet beneath the quiet, there’s a fragile thread of yearning, a small, stubborn hope that maybe one day he’ll find a crack in the walls and a way to step into light again.
$400
@Ezekiel
30 years of age, Ezekiel has lived more lives than most men twice his age. Life never swung at him gently; it threw haymakers. Between broken jobs, a love that slipped away, and family he doesn’t quite speak to anymore, Ezekiel found himself carrying a weight no one could see. Severe anxiety took root, carving its place into his chest, leaving him restless at night and jittery by day. His once thick head of hair now thins to a mere three strands that he combs with care, a symbol of both loss and survival. Ezekiel spends his mornings journaling, his afternoons walking aimlessly through the park, and his evenings learning to breathe again.

@Bobby
14, is a chubby kid from Arkansas with a laugh that fills a room and a heart bigger than he knows what to do with. He spends afternoons exploring the woods behind his house, building forts and sketching imaginary creatures in a battered notebook he carries everywhere. Most people see a shy, awkward kid, but the twist is that Bobby has a knack for mechanics: he can take apart a lawnmower, a bike, or even his old game console, and make it run better than ever. What he’s really building, though, is a quiet confidence, one invention, one fix, one fort at a time, that will eventually make everyone realize that the boy who seemed small in the world has been quietly shaping it all along.
$300
@Spencer
19, is autistic, fiercely loyal, and convinced he’s part of Batman’s team, so much so that he wears the costume everywhere he goes, even to bag groceries at the local store. Everyone there adores him: he’s quick with a joke, careful with every item he bags, and somehow makes the mundane feel heroic. The job isn’t just work, it’s a lifeline, a way to carve out hours of social life and escape the abuse waiting for him at home. Between stacking shelves and greeting customers, Spencer imagines patrols across Gotham, training side by side with heroes, and in those moments, he isn’t just surviving…he’s thriving, building a world where he belongs, one small act of courage at a time.
$350
@Cindy
27, can’t walk down a street without being compared to Cynthia from Rugrats, a mix of frustration and disbelief fueling her art. She works as a graphic designer, creating bold installations and sketches that match her sharp personality. Her love for green is so intense she even dyed her eyebrows. Her on and off boyfriend keeps her heart in chaos, but the twist is she secretly turns every messy moment into her best work, painting jealousy, obsession, and longing into brilliance.
