welcome

PROGRAMMED TO FUNCTION
the residents

welcome to our lovely canon list. you'll see the canons are organised by floor and then
by apartment. we've tried to cater for a range of ages so hopefully there'll be someone here for
everyone.note that in some instances family members live in different apartments, but all those who
share a surname are related and the details are all in the canon information.

if a canon just has --- --- listed after their surname then they are open and can be reserved and
applied for. canons with names filled in have been taken and may not be applied for. last names and
play-bys are non-negotiable; you're also welcome to make an original character if none of the canons
strike your fancy.

in regard to families having children other than are on the canon list, you are free to add in other family members so long as they tally in with any canons already being played. these other family members can be playable or non-playable; if you'd like them to be playable please PM an admin with the details and we can add them to the list.

you may reserve canons, HOWEVER because of the tendancy we see for people to reserve
canons and then disappear never to be seen again, you MUST post at least a partially-
completed application within 24 hours of your reservation or we'll open the character up again.
you have three days total to then complete the application, including this first 24 hours.

to reserve a canon, please use the code below and make sure you post in code

PERRY, MADALINE ELIZABETH
age || student

the tylers had been trying for a child for many years before TYLER (WH) was concieved, and as a result any intention they had of not spoiling their only daughter somewhat fell by the wayside as they were just so grateful to have her. but can gratitude cancel out the fact that TYLER (WH) is way more of a handful than her parents had ever anticipated?

play by: elle fanning

when you have three teenage or pre-teen daughters running about the place, it's time for a bigger place and that's exactly what's brought VASSEY (MS) to move his family to harrington. unfortunately, he didn't quite factor in the increase in monthly expenditure this increase in rent would bring, and there's only so much an independent bookstore can bring in. VASSEY (KR) and the girls are used to a comfortable lifestyle, but it looks like they're all going to have to tighten their belts, at least in the short term.

DIXON, MADDISON BROOKE
sixteen || student
play by: taylor swift

the dixon family are what some would scathingly call 'new money' - neither are from a rich background, but both have worked hard despite having their kids at a young age to build a better life for them all. and a chance stroke of genius from DIXON (FM) bought them their fourth-floor apartment. but if they were expecting a warm welcome from their fellow fourth-floorers, they were soon put straight: new money and old money don't mix. is the money and the apartment worth the constant scorn from their neighbours?

-------------------------------------------------------------------

ECKLIE

ECKLIE, JASON WESTON
nineteen || owner of the imperial
play by: ed westwick

ECKLIE hasn't bothered with college. why should he when his parents are rich enough to give him his own top-floor apartment and he owns one of the most notorious gentlemen's clubs in the city. in fact, he's so wealthy he can even afford to rent several of the lower-floor apartments for the girls who work for him. what does he get in return? well, leave that to the imagination...

following the death of her husband, GARRETT (MC) has been an emotional wreck. while the businessman may have left his family his considerable wealth and business empire, the fact remains that GARRETT (MC) has no business experience whatsoever. add to that the fact that her three children are all dealing with the grief in their own way and you have a family in turmoil.

LISTER, EVA REBECCA
nineteen || dancer/stripper
play by: lindsay lohan

the listers have always been seen as the "ghost" family of the apartments. if it weren't for LISTER (MC)'s reputation as a highly recommended psychologist and LISTER (LL)'s rather less respectful reputation, chances are no-one would even know they lived at harrington much less in one of the most exclusive apartments. which is fine by all of the listers, as it means it's easier for them to keep things secret from the other residents.
